I also don't get that "let's saddle this kid with a name that will be forever misspelled because I can't spell" trend. THe one that gets me is the parents that pick a place on a map and then butcher the spelling. What did poor little PahRee or D'kohta ever do to you? Hey look, two of my other ways to hate a parent in an instant. Can you imagine being the kid in kindergarten trying to learn to write your name and the basic alphabet isn't enough? "Sorry D'Kohta, PahRee, you failed the unit on name spelling because we don't teach kindergarteners punctuation or incorrect capitalization, but thanks for playing."
I was the kid that had to spell my name every. Freaking. Time. My first name because of all the variations of Jennifer running around, and my maiden name because it was loosely French ("with an 'e', not an 'a'.")

Bryan Travel Guide: 16 reviews and 27 photos
First of all, Howdy Aggs!!! Ok, Ive lived in Bryan all my life, and probably will until im done with college in a few years. Bryan is a nice sized city with about 66,000 residents, and has a sister city to the south, College Station, which is adjacent to Bryan with a population just above Bryan's, for the first time. The area has a total population of 152,114 people. Any new aggies, or college students that are in, or move to the area must check out Northgate which is just across the Bryan city limit in College Station, you dont know what you are missing until you eat at Dixie Chicken. And of course, the most popular color in town is Maroon. Ok, enough of me talking on, and on. Gig' Em

"A village in Beaujolais" Juliénas by reenby
Juliénas Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 4 photos
We visited Julienas on a cycling tour. Our hotel was a let down but Julienas itself is nice.
We found during our cycling trip that most of the villages in Burgundy and perhaps most of France, are essentially closed.
They dont have any shops or cafes and those that do always seem to be closed. This was a great shock as we had imaged French village life to be very different.
So Julienas is a great improvement. It has a bar and a couple of good restaurants, and is quite lively in the evening.

Carine Roitfeld Can Tell You All About the Butt-Lifting Benefits of Ballet
She knows firsthand.
The editor of CR Fashion Book sat down with the September issue of Harper's Bazaar to discuss her much-anticipated magazine, being the face of M.A.C., and that time she hurt Tom Ford when she walked across his back while wearing high heels. Also of note: Roitfeld told Anamaria Wilson that she hasn't looked at French Vogue since her departure last year, explaining, "It's like a divorce in a way. It's still very fresh; it's still very like my baby for 10 years. I prefer to take a big distance; maybe next year it will be finished. I don't do the magazine because I want revenge — you say, revenge?"
Speaking of spite, Roitfeld addressed her enviable figure, saying she doesn't have a large appetite and is trying "to be in shape to be a young grandma."
She has taken up ballet, which she says has significantly altered her shape, specifically her derriere — she's quick to attest to its "lifting" benefit. "Normally, everything starts to go down, but that goes up. I had to give all my skirts to the seamstress, and she had to add five centimeters. That's a lot."
By "a lot," we're assuming she's referring to the amount of skirts.

Goldman banker to retire from Asia post, says memo
The Goldman Sachs banker and co-head of the firms Asia investment banking operation for six years is retiring, according to an internal memo obtained on Monday. He is the second senior Asia banker to depart Goldman in the last month.

Time Warner offers $1.3b for Big Brother maker
Time Warner made a $1.3 billion all-cash offer for Endemol NV as the Dutch producer of Big Brother TV shows seeks to reach an agreement with lenders over reorganising its debt. The revised bid has the same value as Time Warners previous offer, Charles Armitstead, a London-based spokesman for Endemol, said. New York-based Time Warners earlier offer of about 1 billion euros included debt, people familiar with the matter said last month.
Olympus ex-CEO to meet MPs, push for Japan reform

Woodford, an Englishman who was sacked as chief executive by the firms board two months ago, will arrive on Tuesday on a mission to persuade employees and investors that he is the right person to return to his old job and get the firm back on track.
Boost in Saudi oil output to revive global economy

Last week I was rather formal with my inaugural installment of "The Exhibitionist." So, now, let me introduce it properly: this is a new column devoted to movie theaters and why they're still worth your time and money. This is also a place to discuss the movie-going experience, with detailed stories and observations, in addition to being a discussion of the theater industry. Sometimes it will be a rant about what needs changing; other times it will be a recognition of great ideas already in place -- such as last week's comparative look at two examples of incentive opportunities. Hopefully "The Exhibitionist" will also generate more discussion from you, the reader; feel free to tell me what needs to be examined or why you think my suggestions are bad by using this as your own outlet for better solutions.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way, let me get to the topic you all seem to be most interested in: movie theater etiquette. Everyone has their complaints about why the movie-going experience is so terrible these days and about how much of it has to do with the behavior of the rest of the audience. But I don't need to go into a list of things that are wrong about our fellow moviegoers. Nor do I need to list the proper etiquette that should be followed when one goes to the movies. Instead, I'd like to offer up the notion that this etiquette stuff is a bunch of baloney. Personally I think many of our complaints are unfounded and worthless.
First of all, the things we complain about are for the most part nothing new. Take the problem with talkers, for instance. I asked a number of people this week about the earliest experience they had with such an annoyance, and plenty responses included incidents that occurred as early as the ' 60s. And I'm sure that's only because I didn't talk to people old enough to relate anything prior to that time. One person did tip me off to an example in print: In Renata Adler's review of 2001: A Space Odyssey for the New York Times, she pointed out that, "the uncompromising slowness of the movie makes it hard to sit through without talking-and people on all sides when I saw it were talking almost throughout the film. Very annoying." I honestly think that when we say that home viewing has ruined theater viewing, we unintentionally refer more to ourselves than to the people around us. Okay, maybe the more common experience of viewing a movie in the living room, where we can talk as much as we wish, has made us more comfortable with talking during a movie. But at the same time I think it has done the reverse. I think the fact that we can sit at home by ourselves, without any talking or disturbances, has spoiled us for when we go out for a public experience. This also extends to other out-of-the-home experiences. We've become such a sit-home society with our home entertainment systems and computers that we tend to be more irritated these days by real human interaction.
So, we aren't all of a sudden talking, but we may be talking more than we were before. Another reason for this could be the lower quality of movies. Like the people watching 2001 in 1968, we are more likely to be vocal when a movie is too slow or too awful. Part of this could be due to our shorter attention spans, while part could also be that movies just aren't very good these days. It's like we're all in our own Mystery Science Theater 3000, offering our own commentary about how bad the movie is we're watching. But we're hypocrites if it bothers us. Anyone who claims they've never talked during a movie is lying. Chances are you think you're only quietly whispering these comments to your companion(s), but during a slow or quiet part of a bad movie, when the rest of us are also distracted or bored, we can hear you. And it probably irritates us more when we can't make out what you're saying than when we can hear the funny guy shouting his jokes from the back row. At least he's probably entertaining. Of course, I'm not complaining about your whispering, because I'm definitely guilty of it, too.
Talking doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, either. I've seen enough sold-out shows, full of the same old annoying strangers, for movies that were engaging enough or loud enough or entertaining enough that I hardly took notice of the kids running around or the people making the usual noises – or I at least didn't mind as much. I've also been to a number of movies where I've craved the talkers. Who doesn't like the experience of the noisy crowd when watching a horror flick? Who doesn't prefer watching a comedy with a rambunctious, laughing-out-loud audience? I've been to a couple dry houses for both of these genres, and it's terribly disappointing.
But it isn't a double standard or anything that we also prefer to watch a serious drama without distractions or loud audience members. And yes, it does happen every now and again. All I can tell you is you might want to change the theater you go to. Or the time or day of the show you attend. If you want quiet, you might not want to go on opening night or to a midnight show, for instance.
Hopefully more cinemas and theater chains will follow Regal's lead with their own type of "guest response system." Regal's is in the form of a pager-alert thingy that some patrons bring with them into the auditorium in order to make complaints to the management without leaving their seat.
I tried out Regal's system this week, but when I say tried out I don't mean I got to actually push any of the buttons. Ironically I saw a movie with the most polite audience I've ever witnessed. The kind of audience where people leave the auditorium to answer their phone (which didn't even ring!) But I did talk to a manager about the program afterwards just to see if it's actually working. The woman I talked to said people participate all the time, especially on the weekends, and that it works quite well for dealing with problems. She claims her theater's management staff is constantly responding to the alerts, which transmit directly to pagers they wear on their person.
In case you think I'm schilling for Regal, though, and am all about their guest response system, I have to admit that I'd rather just see more of a presence in the auditoriums, in the form of ushers perhaps, than have to deal with a gadget, no matter how neat it is to know you have that security in your hand. Plus, I was annoyed at how long the process took to get one of the pager-alerts. It involves all kinds of ID and paperwork and stuff that actually made me late for my show. And it was probably plenty annoying to all the people waiting in line behind me. Also, I sensed a bit of irritation from the manager, who had to be called over to the box office in order to grab the pager that was her end of the deal. Of course, this was a weeknight, and I know from experience that movie theater employees don't like being bothered on weeknights. It's supposed to be the downtime.
So, basically another theater company needs to develop a different kind of alert program. Or send monitoring employees in more frequently. Or we could just stop pretending that talkers are really that big a deal and learn to be more tolerant. You're sure to have the occasional experience that is just too unbearable, but its no different than how we all occasionally have truly awful experiences with other drivers, or customers, or anything else involving human beings – and I bet we've all been that annoying driver, or customer or moviegoer.
I think I'll end on that, and leave other movie etiquette "problems" for another week. Feel free to tell me something that really, really, really is so epidemic in this society that it's cause for never going to the movies again. Think very hard, though, because I've seen it all and been through it all, and there hasn't been anything yet to ruin my love for going to the movies.

Royal length train wedding dresses
There are many brides who are attracted to wearing extravagant royal wedding dresses with a certain sophistication of the design that can attract more eyes and turn more heads around. In order to make a statement on the wedding day, a bride can choose from various wedding dress styles. The train of the dress can change completely the final aspect of the bride, adding a touch of elegance and exquisiteness.
One of these types of wedding dresses with trains that can help the bride to achieve a more grandiose, fabulous and magnificent apparition is the royal length train wedding dress.
This type of train is the largest train of all types of trains available for wedding dresses and it can be the ideal fit for wealthy brides planning a royal wedding and a spectacular showy look.
The royal train extends about 10 feet from the waistline and it is sweeping the floor as you walk down the aisle. For brides who are organizing a big time wedding with a formal character, in a fancy cathedral, restaurant, castle or local, the royal length train wedding dress would be the most suitable outfit. If you plan on wearing another wedding dress for the night reception party, then you should not get too worried about things like practicality, comfort or coziness.
The royal length train wedding dress makes a stunning choice for a religious church ceremony, but as we said before, for the night party might not be an inspired dress selection. During the wedding reception the bride must feel comfy enough to breathe properly, walk, move and dance properly. You should know though that this type of train can have a detachable style, so the bride can use it only for the church wedding religious ceremony.
The bride who decides to go with a magnificent royal length train wedding dress must be ready to feel a little heavy and uncomfortable during the 'walking down the aisle" ceremony. To make the dress appear as beautiful and grandiose as the train requires it, the bride will need help with all the material dragging down the dress.
For grand occasion wedding events this type of wedding dress can make a superb choice. Many celebrities from Hollywood are interested in wearing a gorgeous unique royal length train wedding dress for a truly sensational and memorable look and wedding.
In order to make the wedding reach out to the majesty of the regal train, the bride must take care of every single detail. The dress must not eclipse in anyhow the beauty and elegance or importance of the wedding, so the event must be planned according to the formality and grandeur of the bride's dress, following a royal style.11

I like the last dress more than the others and I think it's the fittest for my wedding. I am planning a very big and formal wedding and this is only because I always wanted to get dressed in this type of a gown, with such a long train. And so I booked a very old castle and a cathedral for the wedding ceremony and reception. I also have six nieces and goddaughters, who are going to carry my train on the aisle. It's going to be very sweet, as the youngest is only three and the oldest of them five. But I want them involved in my wedding. As for the reception afterwards, I think I will have another dress, more comfortable, but very similar to the one I wore at the ceremony. It's going to be the best wedding ever.

You are to blame for the Padres TV fiasco
To read previous columns, go to utsandiego.com/staff/matthew-hall
I can count the number of Padres at-bats I've seen on TV this season on my son's southpaw.
The joke here isn't that my left-handed son can help the hometown nine. It's that I don't have a son.
It is absolutely ludicrous that I can't turn on my TV whenever the Padres play — a luxury after a long day, even with a losing team — and watch the game or just have it on in the background as I surf the web, talk to my wife (she would spy another joke there) or go to sleep.
A ton of criticism has been lobbed at Fox Sports San Diego, Time Warner Cable, AT&T U-Verse and Dish for the impasses that have kept about 40 percent of San Diego County residents from watching the Padres from home this year.
It's not nearly enough criticism. The fact that they can't get a deal done — and may not this season — is just ridiculous. If not now, when?
I don't care who it is, no new owner is going to ride into a town on a white Charger or sprinkle the team's bats with fairy dust and turn the Padres into winners overnight. It'll take time. It'll take talent. It'll take buy-in from the nine guys on the field at any given time and from that 10th player: the fans in the stadium. And the best way to get buy-in from fans (all of whom are long-suffering, whether by definition or in high-definition) is to get the games on TV.
There are more people to blame than television execs, of course.
Let's start at the top.
If and when a Padres sale happens, it looks like lame-duck (a lot of fans would now just say lame) team owner John Moores and his family will see about half of the $800 million in proceeds. That includes $200 million in upfront money the team got from a new, 20-year TV deal with Fox Sports.
Couldn't Moores and Jeff Moorad, whose group owns 49 percent of the team, have made sure Fox's deals with distributors got done? Couldn't Moores have pressured, even shamed, all sides so La Jolla viewers like me and others across the county could watch their team? Shouldn't that be a priority in this day and age?
Next to Moores on the Mount Rushmore of blame, I'm putting San Diego's mayor, Jerry Sanders, and its City Council president, Tony Young, who have been silent on the issue.
Can you imagine how fast the politicians in a city like Boston or New York would be lashing out at every TV executive in town to soothe the masses?
I'm from Massachusetts. If a team were blacked out on TV once, I can tell you that fans — a group that includes most New Englanders with a pulse and many without one — would take to the streets with bats of their own.
I can also tell you that New Yorkers faced just this circumstance this year. State and local pols there stepped up in February to end a standoff between the MSG Network and Time Warner Cable.
New York City Council speaker Christine Quinn threatened to hold a hearing that would bring executives from each company before an outraged public. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo even made phone calls to hasten a deal. Finally, TV executives restored MSG programming, which includes the Knicks, Rangers and Islanders sports teams, for 1.1 million households.
Admittedly, there was also the little matter of Linsanity that spurred that deal along. (Sadly, in San Diego, the only baseball player even remotely close to breakout basketball star Jeremy Lin is all-star Huston Street, and no one's really rushing to trademark: "Huston, we have a problem.")

Vittoria Open Corsa Evo SC Clincher Road Tire - Closeout!The Vittoria Open Corsa Evo SC is nothing short of excellent. It features a uniquely supple 320 TPI cotton casing and a new, lighter puncture resistant belt that cuts flats by 40% over previous models. It is developed and produced under constant scrutiny in Vittoria's very own factory.
The only touch point a bicycle has with the road is the tires. The experience of a bicycle rise is therefore largely influenced by a tire. Grip, puncture resistance and the reduction of pace-slowing rolling resistance is key to any great road tire. Better make it count.
- A fine, dense weave produces a high performing softer and more flexible casing
- Outstanding handling and comfort
- 145 Max PSI

HANOVER, N.H. (AP) — Alex Mitola knocked down three of Dartmouth's 10 3-pointers — five of which came during a key, first-half run — as Dartmouth dominated Army 75-58 Tuesday night to snap a seven-game losing streak.
The Big Green's Tyler Melville snapped a 20-all tie with a 3-pointer with 5:41 left in the first half, and Dartmouth hit four treys during a 17-8 run that put the Big Green up 37-28 at halftime.
Gabas Maldunas and John Golden paced Dartmouth with 13 points each, and Jvonte Brooks added nine points and 12 rebounds. Mitola added 11 points on 50-percent 3-point shooting.
Dartmouth shot 52.6 percent (10 of 19) from beyond the arc for its best performance of the year. The team has made 36.8 percent of its 3-point tries this season.
Ella Ellis led Army with 15 points, and moved into 13th on the Black Knights' all-time scoring list with 1,297 points.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Skipper Jimmy Spithill steered defending champion Oracle Team USA to an impressive wire-to-wire victory in Race 9 of the America's Cup on Sunday, finishing 47 seconds ahead of Emirates Team New Zealand.
Oracle Team USA, owned by software tycoon Larry Ellison, won consecutive races for the first time and trails the Kiwis 6-1. Oracle entered the series with a two-point penalty for the biggest cheating scandal in the Cup's 162-year history, so it needs eight more victories to keep the trophy.
Team New Zealand needs three more wins to claim the Auld Mug.
Oracle is 2-2 since British Olympic star Ben Ainslie replaced John Kostecki as tactician.
Oracle recently made changes to its wing sail and jib setup to have the boat better balanced and is sailing much better upwind on San Francisco Bay.
Race 10 was scheduled for later Sunday.

WESTMINSTER – Controversy story's data "ay kalam" surrounding the upcoming Tet Parade continues to simmer.
Just two days after an organizing committee voted to allow a gay and lesbian group to march in the annual procession celebrating the Lunar New Year, leaders of a local lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender coalition said they now fear parade rules will ban them from carrying rainbow flags.
"Our fight for full inclusion and equality is not over," said Hieu Nguyen, co-founder of Viet Rainbow of Orange County. "As it stands, we are not allowed to carry the rainbow flags and our message of love, respect, family, unity, and community."

Elkhart County anti-smoking advocate stepping down, but not quitting
ELKHART — He kicked things off with a song.
"But just because it burns doesn't mean you're going to die. You've got to get up and try, try, try," sang Mark Potuck, Elkhart County's resident anti-smoking authority.
"Is that Adele?" asked one student.
"That's Pink," said another.
The ditty, "Try," is indeed a Pink song, and Potuck later said he made the unconventional selection as an ice breaker, to connect with the audience, a Memorial High School health class. It's not every day you see a 68-year-old, bow tie-wearing grandpa sing the pop singer's music.
Then again, Potuck isn't your average anti-smoking advocate. He's made a career of taking unconventional approaches — he later rapped an anti-smoking song for the Memorial students — but that soon comes to an end, at least as director of the Elkhart County Health Department's anti-smoking office.
After 12 years as head of Tobacco Control of Elkhart County and 24 years with the county health department he'll be stepping down, effective June 30.
Potuck doesn't want to call it quits altogether, but he'll no longer be the health department's official anti-smoking spokesman.
"I don't think I'm really ready to stop doing what I'm doing," he said.
But his vision of what the Tobacco Control office should be doing differs from the view of officials at the state office, the Indiana Department of Health's Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Commission. State advocates, who make the major calls, are more about directing smokers to the statewide toll-free help line, while Potuck's all about hands-on action — anti-smoking presentations, one-on-one cessation counseling.
Plus, state funding going to offices like Tobacco Control is likely to take a big hit per the new state budget for 2014 and 2015, according to Potuck and others.
"It's real mixed feelings," Potuck said.
School shtick
If you went to public school in Elkhart chances are you've seen Potuck's shtick. Adopting personas like Polish cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Stosh Dubshanofski and Italian-American auto mechanic Tony Silliano, he's given presentations about the dangers of smoking to grade school, middle school and high school students for years.
He's also offered smoking cessation classes at Elkhart County companies and been vocal in calling for laws prohibiting cigarette use in the workplace.
Sure, he has heartrending stories of smoking-related deaths and shocking photos of tobacco victims to get his points across, but he also uses funny accents and humor. "It's something different and it catches people's attention and usually keeps their attention. Anything different," Potuck said.
With the Memorial group, he offered a rap — "Emphysema and heart disease, smoking can do it, it'll give it with ease," it went, in part — generating delight from at least some of the students.
"That's good! I love it!" said one.
"Get that on iTunes," said another.
Darlene Owings, a Memorial health teacher whose class has been visited by Potuck over the years, figures "thousands" of kids have heard his message, easily. She refers to him as Stosh, his physician alter ego.
"The mix of presentation styles that he uses with voices, songs (and) videos provides something for just about any learning style," Owings said in an email. "At the end of classes there are almost always kids who want to share stories or ask for more information from Stosh, which speaks to the effectiveness of his program."
Getting here
Potuck, originally from the Rochester, N.Y., area, came to Elkhart County in 1977 to work as health education director for the county health department, a post he held until 1989. "In many ways, he's the George Washington of health education here in Elkhart County," said John Hulewicz, who now holds the post.
A 12-year stint followed as a speaker on health and other matters, first with a business partner and then on his own. Then in 2001, he took the post as anti-smoking advocate. Smoking having factored in the death of his parents, he came to the view that it was a natural fit.
"I tell the kids how I wish I could have had a song to sing them to get them to quit," Potuck said.
Even now, as his last day with the Elkhart County Health Department approaches, he wants to keep sharing the message. He's looking into other job opportunities and wants to keep it up another 10 years, perhaps. And as he talks, it always gets back to the dangers of lighting up and the benefits, if you smoke, of quitting.
"If you stop smoking, that's going to have such an immensely positive effect on your well-being," he said.

Response to Intervention: Changing How We Do Business: When the RtI Process Is Used to Diagnose Disabilities, Schools Can Intervene Early to Offer Students More Beneficial Instructional Strategies
Hilton, Alan, Leadership
Response to Intervention is a school-wide system of interventions that is generally a three-tiered system. Tier one interventions are data-proven practices used by the classroom teacher that identify children at risk.
In tier two, students who do not respond to proven practices receive targeted, data-based intervention from professionals other than the teacher. A student with academic delays is given one or more of the research-validated interventions.
In this model, students' academic progress is monitored frequently to see if the interventions are sufficient to help the student to catch up with his or her peers. If the student fails to show significantly improved academic skills despite several well-designed and implemented interventions, this failure to "respond to intervention" can be viewed as evidence of an underlying learning disability. Additional assessment may take place upon that determination.
One of the advantages of RtI in the diagnosis of disabilities is that it allows schools to intervene early to meet the needs of struggling learners. RtI also maps those specific instructional strategies found to benefit a particular student, which is helpful to teachers and parents.
Meeting the RtI challenge in California
It does not appear that California Local Education Agencies and their schools will be given the choice as to the use of RtI. Therefore, debate on the merits of RtI in shaping general education interventions and the special education identification process bear little merit. On the other hand, proactive planning for this change will lead to the smooth implementation and the ultimate sustainability of RtI as an effective force for students who are at risk of failure.
Recent research (Sindelar, et al., 2006) on the sustainability of inclusive school reform identified several areas that may be generalized to the implementation and sustainability of RtI as a school-wide reform movement. Three key categories that emerged include state and district policy, leadership and teaching.
State and district policy
The State Department of Education, with direction from the superintendent of public instruction, needs to step forward without delay and take a leadership role in ensuring effective and systematic implementation of RtI. Although the federal government has delayed promulgating regulations, the mandate to the state is clear in IDEA.
The departments of curriculum and instruction, especially reading/language arts and specialized programs, special education, Title I and English learners, should be required to work together to develop common approaches, share resources and provide trainings and technical assistance throughout the state.
One tool that is available is the California Services for Technical Assistance. CalSTAT, which already has a model for developing leadership sites and is funding a limited number of local trainings in RtI, should be expanded and given a broader statewide mission related to RtI.
LEAs at this point should not be overly eager to jump into all three levels of RtI, but should be focusing on changes in policies and strengthening approaches relating to general education interventions. Districts should support, through top-level leadership, the implementation policies that encourage portions of RtI implementation at local model sites.
To accomplish this, superintendents need a general knowledge of the concepts that RtI is based on, whereas building administrators need extensive training concerning implementation and support of RtI. This may be accomplished using a variety of approaches, but training should be scheduled to start as soon as possible.
Leadership: Providing direction
For RtI to be successfully implemented and sustained in California, leadership will be critical. The state, county and local superintendents will be critically important in providing direction, policies and guidelines to move forward. …

This "cake" was a huge hit at my cook-out last night!
It didn't look as pretty as the picture but it tasted wonderful; we did not have any left!
I am allergic to kiwi so I used bananas instead. However I am sure it will be delicious with almost any fruit.
I made this recipe for a staff birthday at work and everyone loved it. Even the ones on a diet felt they could eat this "cake."
My friends were very impressed with this recipe I made. The only thing is you really have to cut the watermelon on each side to get a straight edge . So that means you might have to cut the watermelon more than 2 inches.

Why is this medication prescribed?
Cefotetan injection is used to treat infections of the lungs, skin, bones, joints, stomach area, blood, female reproductive organs, and urinary tract. Cefotetan injection is also used before surgery to prevent infections. Cefotetan injection is in a class of medications called cephalosporin antibiotics. It works by killing bacteria. Antibiotics will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections.
How should this medicine be used?
Cefotetan injection comes as a powder to be added to fluid and injected intravenously (into a vein) or it can be injected into a large muscle (such as your buttock). It is usually given one or two times a day. You may receive cefotetan injection in a hospital or you may administer the medication at home. If you are using cefotetan injection at home, use it at around the same times every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take cefotetan injection exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
You should begin to feel better during the first few days of treatment with cefotetan injection. If your symptoms do not improve or get worse, call your doctor.
Use cefotetan injection until you finish the prescription, even if you feel better. If you stop using cefotetan injection too soon or skip doses, your infection may not be completely treated and the bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics.
Other uses for this medicine
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before using cefotetan injection,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to cefotetan injection; other cephalosporin antibiotics such as cefaclor, cefadroxil (Duricef),cefazolin (Ancef), cefdinir (Omnicef), cefditoren (Spectracef), cefepime (Maxipime), cefixime (Suprax), cefotaxime (Claforan), cefoxitin, cefpodoxime (Vantin), cefprozil (Cefzil), ceftazidime (Fortaz), ceftibuten (Cedax), ceftriaxone (Rocephin), cefuroxime (Ceftin, Zinacef), and cephalexin (Keflex); penicillins; or any other medications.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: aminoglycoside antibiotics such as amikacin, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, streptomycin, and tobramycin; and anticoagulants ('blood thinners') such as warfarin (Coumadin). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
- tell your doctor if you have or have ever had hemolytic anemia (condition where a low number of red blood cells occurs because the cells are being destroyed in the body). Your doctor may tell you not to use cefotetan injection.
- tell your doctor if you have or have ever had cancer; gastrointestinal diseases such as colitis; or gallbladder, kidney, or liver disease.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking cefotetan injection, call your doctor.
- remember you should not drink alcoholic beverages while using cefotetan injection and for 3 days after receiving cefotetan injection. Drinking alcohol during this time period may cause headache, fast heartbeat, sweating, and flushing (redness of the face).
What special dietary instructions should I follow?
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
Use the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not use a double dose to make up for a missed one.
What side effects can this medication cause?
Cefotetan injection may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
- nausea
- diarrhea
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
- shortness of breath
- fast heartbeat
- headache
- dizziness
- pale skin
- confusion
- extreme tiredness
- severe diarrhea with watery or bloody stools (up to 2 months after your treatment)
- fever
- stomach pain
- unusual bleeding or bruising
- hives
- skin rash
- itching
- difficulty breathing or swallowing
- redness, pain, or swelling at the injection site
Cefotetan injection may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while using this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online (http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).
What should I know about storage and disposal of this medication?
If you will be injecting cefotetan injection at home, your healthcare provider will tell you where you should store it and how long you may keep it. Follow these directions carefully. Be sure to store cefotetan injection in the container it came in and out of reach of children. Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your health care provider about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of emergency/overdose
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
What other information should I know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor may order certain lab tests to check your body's response to cefotetan injection.
Before having any laboratory test, tell your doctor and the laboratory personnel that you are using cefotetan injection.
If you are diabetic, use Clinistix or TesTape (not Clinitest) to test your urine for sugar while taking this medication.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. If you still have symptoms of infection after you finish cefotetan injection, talk to your doctor.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

They are highly experience and are on their fifth loan in their third year of collaboration with Soro Yiriwaso. Starting off with 50,000 francs CFA in their first loan cycle, they are now at 150,000 francs after having repaid the first four loans. This loan will be used to buy vegetables in Sikasso and fruit locally from peasant growers of Kimparana. The goods are sold door-to-door or at the crossroads. Some of the women have a fixed spot at the Kimparana marketplace, where they sell more.
According to their estimates, the expected profit with this loan could be 150,000 francs per group member. The profit will be used to repay the loan and to adress common family expenses. They have the ambition to take out larger, individual loans for diversifying their merchandise.
Note: Aminata Koné was sick in bed when the photo was taken.

Les marchandises sont vendues en ambulant ou au carrefour, certaines d'entre elles ont des places fixes au marché de kimparana où elles vendent plus.
Selon leur estimation, le bénéfice attendu peut être de 150 000 FCFA par cliente avec ce prêt. qui sera utilisé pour rembourser le prêt et faire face aux dépenses courantes de la famille
Leur ambition est d'avoir des prêts individuels d'un montant élevé pour diversifier leurs marchandises.

Additional Information
Important InformationSoro Yiriwaso is a microfinance institution that works primarily in rural and semi-urban areas of Mali to provide underprivileged communities with access to financial services.The organization facilitates access for disadvantaged clients, particularly women, to new resources and services, fostering solidarity and cooperation among its clients.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

We are three classes in to my son's first year at Frog Hollow, and it feels we definitely made the best decision. I visited and investigated many local preschools. Ellen was the only one who had me bring my son on our first visit. I took that as a great sign. We were allowed to go with a flexible - 2 day a week - schedule, which many other places would not accomodate. So far, he's done yoga, visited Totland and played with a lot of trains, and he is excited to go back to school again. New Frog Hollow parent

Re: PT Half Day Preschool Fall 2014 for 2.5 yo
Hi, I would recommend you look into Frog Hollow Nursery School in North Berkeley. It is a small school with lots of attention from loving, experienced teachers. My son learned a lot, including about gardening! Email Ellen at edressman [at] icloud.com Lydia

I haven't seen much information lately about Frog Hollow Nursery School, so wanted to recommend it. My son has been attending FH in N. Berkeley since he was almost 2. We love this place! The teachers are attentive, loving, and accepting; (set limits with love). My mom advised me that when choosing a preschool, in addition to caregivers, priority should be given to a small school; there are about 12 kids or so on any given day. Kids have plenty of outdoor time, creative time, music/dancing. Parents contribute to lunch, which means kids are a) all eating the same meal and b) eating new foods and is c) less work for parents. Great program! P.S. My son is 4 1/2 and still loves Frog Hollow! lb

Hi there. We are trying to decide on what the best route for preschool will be for our daughter. We visited Frog Hollow and liked it a lot. It is convenient, hours are good, liked the teachers, the space, the overall program, and the price. Our main hesitation is for how kids do there in their final year. Our daughter's bday is in February, which means she would be there when she is 5 years old. Our concern is that she won't be stimulated/challenged enough by the activities offered, since it is a mixed age school and the activities are not divided between age groups. Can parents who have older children there now, or attended very recently, comment on this? Also, if your child attended Frog Hollow and then went onto public school, how did the transition go for them.? It seems like the change between 12 kids and 20+ might be tough. Any thoughts and impressions on your children's experience there would be very helpful. Thanks! undecided
Hi- My older daughter went to Frog Hollow and is now in first grade, my youngest is currently there. Frog Hollow is an amazing place. I think I also originally wondered what my oldest would think at age 5, but she LOVED it. This past summer we sent her for a day with her little sister to help the little one transition, and honestly my eldest came home asking why we didn't let her go all summer.
Our transition to Kindergarten took about a week. It was a rough week, and then she did great. I think this was true for most of the kids in her class, no matter where they went. Frog Hollow teaches kids how to be a good friend, and that I think is the best skill you can have for kindergarten (and for life).
My now 6 year old has been doing great in elementary school, and the teachers have always commented that she seems to really understand ''how to learn''. She has TONS of friends, and absolutely loves school.
You can't go wrong with Frog Hollow! one of many happy frog hollow parents

I was wondering if anyone had any recent reviews of frog hollow preschool? likes and dislikes if any thanks anon
Frog Hollow is a great preschool. My sister- in- law who has a Masters in Early Childhood Development told us while we were looking for a preschool - that at this age it is all about class size. It isn't about the philosophy (Piaget, High Scope, Montessori, etc) the number of kids around them makes all the difference to their development. Frog Hollow has one of the smallest class/school sizes (12 children total /day) and a very warm and nurturing environment. When my first son entered kindergarten he was reading within the third week of school- thanks to all the books he had been read in preschool. Frog Hollow is play based but the kids really learn a lot when not forced to. Judie, Ellen and Kimi are amazingly patient and caring teachers - and they take the kids on lots of field trips too. They are also great at creating a sense of community - we were there from 2006 - 2010 and my second son just started kindergarten and keeps asking to go back to visit.
We were very satisfied and felt we were lucky to get a spot. You too would be lucky to get a spot since there are usually only 20 families with the various schedules and there aren't many openings but we wish you luck. Happy Frog Hollow Graduates anon
Jan 2007
Hi - I'm looking for a more recent review/recommendation of Frog Hollow Preschool in Berkeley (a smaller home based preschool) and Duck's Nest in Berkeley - both very different environments. We are considering both for our 2 1/2 year old son for next September and the reviews are both pretty old. Are parents very satisfied with the programs? jamie
Both my daughters went to Frog Hollow. The younger one graduated last year and is now in kindergarten, the older one is now in second grade, both at Tehiyah Day School. Both started at Frog Hollow at age 2 and stayed for 3 years. They LOVED it, and both still talk about it. My older daughter just asked last week if she could go back and help out. It is a very loving and playful place. As I understand it, it is very different from Duck's Nest, so you really need to decide what you are looking for. Frog Hollow is totally play-based, so if you are looking for any type of academic/kindergarten prep, that is not what it is about. Ellen, and the parents of the kids who go there, believe that kids have the rest of their lives with structure, and that preschool is a time to focus on social skills through play. There are several enrichment classes (the specialists for music and drama are excellent, and I understand that they have added yoga), and daily art projects but most of the time is really spent in imaginative play. Also, the mixed age structure gives the older kids a chance to be mentors, and the younger kids a chance to learn from the older kids. That was great for my kids. It does, however, limit the types of projects that they can do, since for the most part, while they occasionally separate the older kids to do a project while the younger kids go to the library, or vice versa, usually they are all together. I will admit that by the end of the third year for each of my kids I wondered if they should be in a place that gave them more age appropriate activities/enrichment, but that came from me, and not from them. And now that they are both in elementary school, and have had no problems with the transition, and are excelling socially, I feel very grateful for the love and freedom that Frog Hollow gave them. Ronnie
We've been very happy at Frog Hollow preschool for the past two years. What do we love about it?
-The teachers are gifted and intuitive, and support all sorts of different kids, from the shyest to the most outgoing.
-The curriculum is varied and exciting, including art classes, drama/creative movement, yoga, music, library and playground visits. We also have lots of great field trips- this year we've already gone to a pumpkin patch, to Crab Cove, the fire station, and we're going to go to Tilden on a nature walk, Ardenwood for monarch butterflies, and to a slug walk!
-The facility is warm and inviting, with lots of opportunity for the children to get outside every day. The materials are rich and varied, and the art and literacy programs are outstanding. Whatever your child likes, Frog Hollow has great materials to support his or her evolving interests.
-The families at the school are unpretentious and diverse, and support the program in a low-key but meaningful way. -My son, now at the end of his preschool days, is self-confident, good at making friends and communicating his needs, knows how to be in a mixed-age group with older and younger children, and is academically ready for a challenging private school kindergarten. Frog Hollow has supported his entire being, and we couldn't be happier.
Two thumbs up from our family for Frog Hollow! cloudberry
Nov 2004
My three year old daughter is in her second year at Frog Hollow preschool, located on McGee, just a few blocks north of Totland. My older daughter just graduated from there last year. It is an extremely warm and cozy home-based, play-based preschool, with 12 kids and 2 teachers. My kids love it. The program runs from 8:30-1:30. Not sure if you are looking for right now or for next fall, but you can call 525-2566 and talk to Ellen, who runs it. Almost everyone who attends lives within walking or biking distance of the school, so it is also has nice neighborhood feel to it. Ronnie
August 2003
My daughter's preschool has (1) opening for a lucky 3 or 4 year old child. Frog Hollow Preschool is a small, nurturing school, run by wonderful, warm and talented teachers. It is truly a special place! My daughter has blossomed beautifully in this family-like environment. There are up to 12 children and the hours are 8:30 - 1:30 with possible extended care. There are up to 4 mornings available. You can contact the owner for more information: Ellen Dressman at 558-6810. Jennifer
