Post subject: What am I missing here?
The article below talks about the dangers of inhaling helium from a pressurized tank. The problem is that the person doing it had been drinking and smoking marijuana prior to the event. The article doesn't touch on the effect that drinking has on your blood or the constriction of the blood vessels at all. Just the helium. There is so much that went wrong in this story - I am just flumoxed that the helium is what they are mentioning.I get that at tragic times like this judging someone for their mistakes is not appropriate. But I also don't think we should gloss it over in print. Inhaling helium was the frosting on this tragedy - the cake should be what we concern ourselves with. Am I missing something here?
EAGLE POINT, Ore. (AP) Last weekend, 14-year-old Ashley Long told her parents she was going to a slumber party. But instead of spending the night watching videos and eating popcorn two blocks away, she piled into a car with a bunch of her friends and rode to a condo in Medford, Ore., where police say the big sister of one of her friends was throwing a party with booze and marijuana.
After drinking on the drive, and downing more drinks in the condo, it came time for Ashley to take her turn on a tank of helium that everyone else was inhaling to make their voices sound funny.
"That helium tank got going around," said Ashley's stepfather, Justin Earp, who learned what happened from talking to Ashley's friends at the party. "It got to my daughter. My daughter didn't want to do it. It was peer pressure. They put a mask up to her face. They said it would be OK. 'It's not gonna hurt you. It'll just make you laugh and talk funny.'"
Instead, she passed out and later died at a hospital, the result of an obstruction in a blood vessel caused by inhaling helium from a pressurized tank.
It's a common party trick someone sucks in helium to give their voice a cartoon character sound.
But the death exposes the rare but real dangers of inhaling helium, especially from a pressurized tank.
Dr. Mark Morocco, associate professor of emergency medicine at the Ronald Reagan Medical Center in Los Angeles, said what happens is similar to when a scuba diver surfaces too quickly. A gas bubble gets into the bloodstream, perhaps through some kind of tear in a blood vessel, and can block blood flow to the brain, causing a stroke.
The gas is also commonly seen in suicide kits mail-order hoods sold out of Oregon and elsewhere that can be attached to a helium tank by people who want to kill themselves. In those cases, the helium crowds out the oxygen, asphyxiating a person.
Death from inhaling helium is so rare that the American Association Poison Control Centers lumps it in with other gases, such as methane and propane. Only three deaths were recorded in 2010, said spokeswoman Loreeta Canton.
It's important to remind kids that ingesting any substance for the sake of getting high or just changing their voices can be dangerous, said Frank Pegueros, executive director of DARE, Drug Abuse Resistance Education.
Pegueros said the first defense is for parents to tell their kids about the dangers of certain substances. He said kids need to also ask themselves whether going along with the crowd at a party is worth it.
"Peer pressure is a very potent force," he said. "We've all gone through it growing up."
"It's getting somebody to pause and think and evaluate the situation and determine, is this something that's going to have a bad consequence," he said.
Police have arrested 27-year-old Katherine McAloon, who lived in the condo, on charges of providing alcohol and marijuana to minors. Four men who were at the party have been questioned by police, but have not been charged, said Medford Police Lt. Mike Budreau. More charges may be filed after police turn over their evidence to the district attorney.
Ashley was a goofy, nerdy eighth-grader who struggled with her weight, was just starting to notice boys, got top grades in school, had posters of Justin Bieber all over her room and wanted to grow up to be a marine biologist, said her mom, Loriann Earp. The family moved from Grants Pass, Ore., to Eagle Point about a year ago, and Ashley had just gotten over the difficulty of adjusting to eighth grade in a new school.
Justin Earp said the kids had four wine coolers each in the car, and four mixed drinks at the condo, before they started passing around the helium.
Police said it was an 8-gallon canister, the kind you can buy at many stores. The kids were taking hits directly from the tank.
When Ashley passed out, someone tried CPR. Then they called 911. Paramedics tried to revive her and took her to the hospital.
"About 11:30 we got a phone call from police saying they were doing CPR on our daughter," said Justin Earp.
At the hospital, they were told that Ashley had died.
Her family has set up a foundation, Ashley's Hope, to spread the word about the dangers of inhaling helium.
Loriann Earp feels like her daughter was stolen from her.
"My whole chest is collapsed and my heart is broken," she said through sobs. "I don't understand."

Maggie b., I saw that article and I felt the same way you do. I don't have an explanation, except that media are always looking for something new to scare us with, and they don't really care about the facts that much.

I think part of it might be the parents. They have a foundation and are trying to raise awareness of the dangers of helium.I feel for them. It must be agony to lose a child that young. I am just not sure this is what we need awareness of.

In-Flight Catering
1. What is inflight catering?
Inflight catering is the entire service for our passengers during the whole flight. Inflight catering planning is a wide and detailed operation which depends on technical developments and modernization of todays' conditions. The meal tray passes through many processes to reach the passenger on-board. These processes are operated within the "Catering Service System" between the airline, catering companies and suppliers.
2. What is taken into consideration while planning and operating the inflight catering?
While planning the inflight catering; profile of the route, flight time, flight departure and arrival time, passenger profile, eating habits and feedbacks from our passengers are taken into consideration.
3. What are the Special Meals served on board? And how are they ordered?
Our passengers can order special meals till 24 hours before the departure time if they have special occasions such as religious believes, eating habits or health related diseases in all our flights except domestic flights. Turkish Airlines serves all special meals that IATA states. In addition, even IATA has not stated in its special meal types, Turkish Airlines serve nut-free special meals for the passengers who provide a doctor report for his/her nut allergy. In domestic flights, special meals are not served except "Celebration Cake".
4. What makes Turkish Airline's catering service different than the other airlines' catering services?
Our catering service is always renewed considering the trends and least common tastes. Our aim is to offer a restaurant experience and taste to our passengers above the clouds within aircraft possibilities.
Beside Turkish cuisine's rich variety of meals, Turkish Airlines also serves meals from international world cuisine and it carries out "Flying Chef" service in its Extended Range (Transoceanic) flights. With the partnership of Turkish Airlines Inc. and DO&CO A.G., meals are always prepared with fresh products with an understanding and principle of boutique production where the unique menu concept is introduced to the passengers via Flying Chefs who gives professional support to cabin crew during the meal preparation to show Turkish hospitality to the world. Especially to serve different options to our frequent fliers departing from Turkey, we use weekly menu rotations in all classes.
5. How can i reach the detailed information regarding inflight catering service for Economy, Comfort and Business classes?

With little bits of sweetener lurking in all kinds of unlikely foods — including pizza, bread, peanut butter, soup and cold cuts — we're becoming, consciously or not, a nation of sugar hounds.
Americans eat, on average, as much as 22 teaspoons of added sugars per day — nearly half a cup. Public health officials are alarmed, and rightly so. This is not a concern for diabetics alone. Diets with excess sugar can raise your cholesterol levels and blood pressure, increase your risk of heart disease and potentially evolve into an addiction that's hard to shake. Also, some researchers now believe that diets high in sugar are actually toxic to the heart, the liver and one's overall health, a case made most prominently in this recent 60 Minutes segment.
(MORE: Milk Alternatives: Are They Really Better for You, or Is It Hype?)
The American Heart Association recommends that adult women consume no more than six teaspoons of added sugars per day. For men, the limit is nine teaspoons. When scanning food nutrition labels, you can read 4 grams of sugar as equal to about one teaspoon. But be aware that labels typically lump natural sugars (fruit, grains) together with added sugars (corn syrup, sucrose), so check a product's ingredient list closely to get a better sense of the sugar it carries in all its various forms: granulated sugar, brown sugar, molasses, agave nectar, corn syrup, brown rice syrup, high fructose corn syrup, cane syrup and anything else ending in "ose." People can debate the health benefits of honey or natural sweeteners over refined white table sugar, but the bottom line is that to the body, sugar is sugar. And too much is too much. (As for sugar substitutes, they're technically chemicals that mimic the taste of sugar. As with the real stuff, moderation is key.)
Here's a look at six surprising sources of sugar in your diet, as well as tips on cutting back.

CFTV: Hoiberg on how to respond from losses in Vegas | News | Men's Basketball | Cyclone Fanatic
Twitter: @ChrisMWilliams
Facebook: Cyclone Fanatic
Fred make a lot of valid points in this. The Cincinatti game in particularly hurt because the Clones shot horrible from the FT line while the Bearcats were out of their minds, shooting 35% above their average. Both games had several really boneheaded turnovers at the top of the key that resulted in dunks on the other end. This team is not there yet, but at least they are athletic enough to win, just not focused enough yet. Fred has played a lot of guys early on here. When he gets it down to a 7-9 man rotation I expect better teamwork because guys will have a better understanding of what the other players are doing.
Fred says, they are trying to put in a game plan, figure out what will work the best based on the talent they have. It would be difficult to figure that out ahead of a season when you have new people on the floor. It will be interesting to see what they come up with in the next game.
"Cómo te va", dijo el murguista a la muchacha. Que lo cortó con su mirada indiferente
Le dijo "Bien" y lo dejó como si nada
Nuevamente... La princesa... Se perdía entre la gente (Jaime Roos)
That video was pretty encouraging, sounds like some changes schematically will do us some good. All things considered, I feel pretty good about things, although I wished we'd made our free throws/layups and won one of those games.
I'm not worried about this team in the slightest. But after last year, and seeing how this team is similarly built with new players, I am kind of resigned to thinking we might have to watch a lot of bad basketball before we really see what this team can do. Just hopefully we can get there sooner so we don't have to regret any bad early season losses like we did last year.

Great brief case.
I have owned my Bosca brief case for over 10 years, every since I started my Private Investgation Agency. Looks good around attorneys, clients and other PIs. Tough as nails and I can easily stuff my laptop, binoculars , and case file in this bag and hit the streets in style.

Absolutely fantastic product!
I was looking for a new briefcase with a classic yet modern design and in that process checked out dozens of manufacturer and websites. This is the one that immediately caught my eye. I had it monogrammed and shipped to Germany (which worked flawlessly) - it arrived today and it looks even better in real.What a fantastic briefcase! Its interior is very well thought-through with dedidated slots for everything important - which for me as a frequent traveller with constant panic attacks over losing one of my phones, keys, wallet is very important:) In general fantastic attention to detail and great craftmanship!Will buy this again should it ever wear out in a few years.Thanks for this product and the fast shipment!

Great looking briefcase and solid craftsmanship
I have gone through several laptop bags and briefcases over the years but this is by far the best one I have owned yet. The internal organizational structure is excellent, I really like the tablet pocket behind the closet organizer and the leather is exquisite. After ordering it I was afraid it may be too bulky and definitely pricy but once I received it I was delighted to find it was the perfect size and well worth the cost. This was my first Bosca purchase and I can say this will not be my last.
January 28, 2016
Color mis-described
Though I like the design of the bag and was excited to receive it, I was disappointed when I opened the box to find that, for Bosca, "dark brown" means burgundy. Burgundy leather certainly has its place, but it's definitely not my favorite for a briefcase. As a result, I'm now stuck with a $600 briefcase that I don't like very much. Had the website description mentioned that "dark brown" is a reddish-hued leather, I would have ordered black and no doubt been very happy. When I contacted Bosca to ask if perhaps they had sent me the wrong briefcase, customer service indicated to me that "our dark brown, has always been considered a burgundy / wine color." That would have been great to know before, rather than after, my purchase. I'll see if it grows on me, but I may have to replace it and live with the big waste of money. (Silly me ... I really wanted my initials monogrammed on it, and being familiar with "dark brown" generally, I figured what could possibly go wrong?. Oh well.)

Professional, Stylish, Great Service!
Bought this bag in Chicago in 1998. Two years later, the handle loosened up from the steel framework across the top; I carry an I-Pad and way too many reports in this briefcase. Sent bag into Bosca for repair and they quickly reinforced the handle to the top of the bag (stronger screws perhaps) -- just like new again. 16 years later, I am going to treat myself to another Bosca briefcase just like this one. If you are looking for style, dependability, function and great service -- choose this briefcase -- you will "love" it! 18 years ago I paid $495 for this bag.....now I will gladly pay $625, most likely for the last time.

greatest briefcase ever!!!
I received this as a gift and it is the best briefcase I have ever carried. The monogram gave it that special touch and I am asked on a weekly basis "where did you get this bag from". If you are looking to buy one please don't hesitate as this would be a great investment.
April 26, 2014
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever purchased!
It just took my breath away! Incredibly well-made of fine leather. Classy and pragmatic at the same time. I am so happy to have this to give to our son upon his law school graduation.

The perfect briefcase.
I wanted a Bosca partner's briefcase for years before I finally bought one. In the meantime I cheaper out and bought two other leather briefcases - neither of which lasted a year before breaking. So, I bit the bullet and bought a Bosca in 2006. After eight years of daily use, it is as good as new. Pictures do these thing no justice. They are great looking and they hold a LOT. I usually have my MacBook (in a sleeve) and two leather portfolios in the middle compartment. The side compartment without the organizer will hold several client files. I can get my iPad and all my cords, pens, exhibit stickers, and my digital recorder into the organizer side. Unless you're looking for one of those hard-sided catalogue cases, this is the last bag you will ever need. I put leather conditioner on mine once a year, and you would never know that it has seen almost a decade of hard use.

Great piece for the working man
I have been using a plethora of bags over the years trying to find what suits me. I've gone through everything from nylon zip-around bags to an all leather duffel, and I have to say this "partners brief" is by far best suited to my needs. Besides its more unique coloring (I chose the new amber stain color), the bags organizing compartments and gussets work perfectly for me. Inside my bag I keep the following: GUSSET 1 - padfolio and any "go to" papers I might need for the next meeting, MIDDLE - all the items I need to keep on hand for spare time (i.e. memos, briefing reports, newspaper articles, magazines), GUSSET 3 - this one is closest to the organizing compartment and I usually just use it for all my spare items, which right now include a few random cough drops, keys, wallet, pain reliever, tissue, etc. I keep this stuff here, because it is closest to the traditional BOSCA organizing compartment, which perfectly holds my two phones, three pens, my iPad, a few letters for mailing or bills I need to pay, business cards, and a couple other spare papers, depending on the day or time of year. All around the piece is great if you are looking for a traditional briefcase and don't mind that fact that is doesn't have a strap. The top opening is perfect and makes grabbing files from my brief during a meeting a win, if you don't already count its beautiful yet not too showy appearance as one. The reason I'm giving for stars is because I had to return my first purchase bag to a vendor because the outside buckle did not work properly. I thought it was a little hard to keep closed and then after watching some videos online and checking with the store, I learned that it should be much easier. The second time around proved much better and I haven't been disappointed yet.

Best quality
I use this case regularly to carry a bunch of books and documents to & from my home office. Great performing briefcase and is always the best looking compare to my colleagues! Now I want another lighter colour for the spring and summer! Fabulous case.
October 13, 2013
Perfect for my needs.
This is perfect for all of my needs and my laptop fits right in the middle. My earlier partners brief had a pocket on the back that would accommodate my laptop, but I much prefer this one. The leather is amazing and the craftsmanship is astounding . I am hard on my brief cases and these are the only ones that can handle alll of my work and hold up.

Reviews for Blackberry Chicken
"This was really good! Not something I would eat all the time, but as an occasional twist to chicken--it's great!"
"Amazing! I made biscuits with this, and the sauce was one of the best dipping sauces of all time! I did use dried thyme, but then only about 1/4 of what was called for. I also used the spice mix to spice the chicken first, then poured over the sauce. IMO meat always needs to be spiced first. Absolutely going in the recipe book! Very festive."
"Looks like I'm the only one who didn't give it 5 stars. It was good but not exceptional in my opinion. I'd make it again but it's not going to be one of my go-to recipes."
"I made this last night but substituted half of the blackberries with blueberries and it was wonderful. Definitely recommending this one to my friends."

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Genetics is the branch of medicine concerned with how hereditary and genetic factors play a role in causing a disease, birth defect, or inherited susceptibility to a health problem.
According to a recent study published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, an underlying disorder with a significant genetic component was found in 71 percent of pediatric hospitalizations. The vast majority of underlying chronic disorders in children in this study were clearly genetic or had a genetic susceptibility. Genetic disease knows no boundaries by age, sex, race, or country of origin.
Everyone is at risk for being born with a birth defect. Most birth defects are not under our control, and are not caused by an action or inaction on the parents' part either before or during the pregnancy.
Even with normal prenatal diagnosis such as an amniocentesis, there is still a 3 percent to 4 percent chance that a child will be born with some type of birth defect or health problem.
The Human Genome Program began in 1990 with the goal of mapping the location of all of the genes on the chromosomes. This monumental achievement has given scientists the building blocks to determine how diseases are caused and hopefully, how to treat them and, ultimately, prevent them.
Medical Genetics is an overview of genetic mechanisms that can result in disease. Common examples of genetic conditions have been included for example, but are not meant to be comprehensive. The goal is to understand how genetics impacts the health of our children.

This way Zenf_Validator_Float::__construct gets no locale passed and failes validations for i18n numbers.
No bug of Zend_Form. Simply give the option when adding the validator:

Form definition stored in INI, and locale stored in registry in Zend_Locale key.
says {quote} Since Zend Framework 1.8 this validator takes into account the actual locale from browser, environment or application wide set locale. {quote}
So I expect it to work without any form element manipulations in actions.

Excellent way to create an office take-out orderPassing a menu and paper around and having someone call in - so last century. Using Foodler I start a takeout order, forward it to everyone in the office, and they can choose what they want online (or opt out - I don't have to track them down to find out). All I do is click submit for the combined order and everyone's selection is already there.

UN renews sanctions against armed groups in DRC
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders is pleased that the Security Council has unanimously adopted UN Resolution 2136. This resolution renews the sanctions until 1 February 2015 against persons, entities and armed groups in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
In the resolution, the Security Council condemns all armed groups operating in the region. It also condemns violations of international humanitarian law and human rights as well as attacks by these groups on citizens, civil aid workers and MONUSCO.
Didier Reynders is pleased that the Security Council has requested the FDLR (Forces Démocratiques de Libération du Rwanda), the ADF (Allied Democratic Forces), the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army) and Mai Mai groups to immediately cease all forms of violence and to disarm, including demobilizing the child soldiers among their ranks. The Security Council calls upon the States in the region to provide no support to armed groups and to take the necessary measures to prevent violence on their territory.
Minister Reynders is also pleased with the adoption of an Action Plan on 31 January for implementing the Addis Ababa Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework Agreement for the DRC and the region. This plan was adopted at the third meeting of the Regional Follow-up mechanism. Ambassador Frank De Coninck, Special Envoy to the Minister of the Great Lakes Region, represented Belgium at this meeting.
Didier Reynders believes that the Framework Agreement, now reinforced with a specific Action Plan, constitutes a real opportunity to finally arrive at a sustainable solution to the conflict in eastern DRC, which has gone on for too long. This opportunity must be seized in order to bring peace and stability to the population. The Minister furthermore encourages all signatory countries to rapidly convert their commitments into specific actions.

Anchor Intro: Living green messages are everywhere we look these days, but there's a lot of misinformation about what's really green and what's not. In this edition of "Saving Green by Going Green," Bankrate.com takes a black-and-white look at some top myths about living green.
Voice over 1: If you think going green can be expensive, tough to do, or lifestyle limiting, listen up! It's easy being green, when you erase some common myths from your mind.
Voice over 2: A simple change: Start buying only recycled paper products -- paper towels, napkins, toilet paper, printer paper. Recycled is cheaper and if everyone in the U.S. bought one pack of recycled napkins, that alone could save one million trees.
Voice over 3: Here's a free, simple step: If you use a computer built after the '90s, turn off the screen saver, and put your computer in "sleep" mode when you're not using it. You'll stop wasting energy, and can lower your power bill by about 50 bucks a year.
Voice over 4: The Natural Resources Defense Council says we just need to make smarter choices, like switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs. If we all did just that, we'd save billions a year on energy, and cut the need for 24 proposed power plants.
Standup: Here's one last myth: Keep that old refrigerator so it doesn't clog up a landfill. Well, that's good logic, except modern appliances can use up to 70 percent less power. Think about that. For Bankrate.com, I'm Kristin Arnold.

Wilmington Children's Chorus in Final Preparations for Cultural Exchange Program
Posted on 07/26/2013 3:15 pm
Excitement is building among the 160 youth from the Wilmington Children's Chorus (WCC) and Youth Chamber Orchestra of Fulda, as they get ready for the week of a lifetime. Preparations are in full swing on both sides of the Atlantic for a cultural exchange program and music festival beginning July 28 in Wilmington and culminating with a joint public concert on August 3 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Helena's Catholic Church, 602 Philadelphia Pike in Bellefonte, Delaware.
The evening's performance will feature Schubert's Mass in G and other works for chorus, orchestra and soloists by Mendelssohn, Brahms and Bernstein. The concert is free and open to the public. A free will offering will be taken to help underwrite the costs of the concert. A $10 minimum donation is suggested. In addition, members of both ensembles will perform at public and private events during the cultural exchange week, including the July 29 Wilmington Blue Rocks game at Frawley Stadium on Wilmington's Riverfront and a gala reception for community leaders at the Delaware Arts Museum.
WCC's Artistic Director Kimberly Doucette says the choristers, ranging in age from eight to 18, plus returning alumni singers from WCC, have willingly set aside weekend and summer activities to practice and prepare for this event. While for many choristers this will be their first experience meeting and working with individuals from outside the United States, for others this event will reciprocate the hospitality they received from orchestra members and host families during a 2011 summer tour, which included time in Wilmington's Sister Cities of Fulda, Germany and Nemours, France.
"The 2011 visit was life-changing for our choristers and their families," Doucette recalled. "They experienced the pride of representing the City of Wilmington as cultural ambassadors abroad. Our choristers became global citizens and formed lifelong friendships with both the musicians and their host families in Fulda. We cannot wait to welcome the orchestra and their chaperones to Wilmington."
The week includes three to six hours of daily rehearsal time for choristers and orchestra members, but Doucette noted the event encompasses much more than hard work and preparation. The WCC has promised its German counterparts a truly American cultural experience that will feature a series of fun and educational activities outside the rehearsal space, both in the City of Wilmington and the region.
- The orchestra and their chaperones will enjoy a pool party and barbecue with WCC at St. Anthony's in the Hills.
- On July 29, WCC's German guests will experience minor league baseball as the Wilmington Blue Rocks face the Carolina Mudcats at Frawley Stadium. WCC's Young Men's Ensemble will sing The National Anthem prior to the first pitch.
- Members of both groups will entertain at an invitation-only Sister Cities Welcome Reception for the orchestra at the Delaware Art Museum.
- WCC choristers and orchestra members will travel to Cape Henlopen for an all-American beach day, complete with summer sun and an evening clambake. Chaperones will receive a special tour of Delaware's own Dogfish Head brewery in Milton.
- The German-American community in the First State will welcome the Fulda orchestra and their chaperones at the Delaware Saengerbund in Newark.
- The Birthplace of Liberty – Philadelphia – will be a stop for the WCC and the orchestra. They'll visit The Constitution Center, Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, followed by lunch at The Reading Terminal Market.
- August 3 is concert day, filled with rehearsal and final preparations for the 7:30 p.m. performance at St. Helena's Church in Bellefonte.
- The orchestra will depart on Sunday, August 4 after a morning brunch and musical showcase at the Christina Cultural Arts Center.
"In hosting our German friends, we're building on the success of a wonderful cultural exchange born in 2011," Doucette concluded, "and we're showing children who might never travel overseas the immense value of not just sharing music, but sharing all Wilmington has to offer – here at home and abroad."
Both the WCC and The Fulda Youth Orchestra are widely recognized regionally for their commitment to artistic excellence and music education. In Delaware, the WCC enjoys a strong reputation for creating opportunity for local and regional youth. WCC has performed with the Delaware Symphony Orchestra, OperaDelaware, First State Ballet Theatre, the Philadelphia Arab Music Ensemble, and American composer Robert Powell.
The Festival is sponsored in part by Sister Cities International of Wilmington, Wawa, The Delaware Division of the Arts, the Christina Cultural Arts Center, the Kenny Family Foundation of ShopRite Supermarkets, and Papa's Pastry in Wilmington. St. Helena's Parish as well as First and Central Presbyterian Church and The Episcopal Church of Saints Andrew and Matthew also are generously supporting this project by providing rehearsal and performance space. The Delaware Saengerbund has provided cultural and language support to the WCC as it prepares for the exchange.
The Wilmington Children's Chorus is a multi-cultural children's choir sponsored by the City of Wilmington, Dennis P. Williams, Mayor, as a project of Cityfest, Inc. Any qualified child can participate for free, regardless of financial or social background. Sister Cities of Wilmington has partnered with the WCC to develop this international exchange opportunity. This program is made possible, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Delaware, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. For more information about the upcoming visit of the Fulda Youth Orchestra and the concert, or to learn how to audition for the Wilmington Children's Chorus, please visit www.wilmingtonchildrenschorus.org or call Philip Doucette at (302) 438-8152.

Towers Watson Enhances IT with Remote PC Management Case Study
Enhancing IT Efficiency and Improving Responsiveness with Remote PC Management
Atos meets stringent SLAs and controls PC management costs by activating Intel® vPro™ technology for Towers Watson.
A global consulting firm serving many of the top Fortune 1000, Towers Watson has more than 14,000 employees in 150 worldwide offices. The company engaged Atos to help refresh workstations, update the operating systems used by employees, and assume responsibility for ongoing PC management. Together, Atos and Towers Watson decided to activate Intel® vPro™ technology in PCs to capitalize on robust remote management capabilities. Using Intel vPro technology, Atos has improved response times for incidents and service requests and reduced the costs of providing outstanding global support.
In 2011, Towers Watson initiated a plan to refresh more than 18,000 client systems and migrate to the Windows* 7 operating system. Atos won the bid to provide Workplace Services—service desk, on-site and cross-functional services—and Application Management for Towers Watson and, in late 2011, began performing the workstation refresh and Windows 7 deployment in 38 countries around the world.
When the refresh and OS update project concluded in 2012, Atos implemented its global on-site services model to support the client systems. In several countries, Atos contracted with global partners to provide local support for Towers Watson offices.

Scion FRS Custom Hoods, Scion FRS Custom Trunks
Aftermarket Scion FRS hoods help make a car look newer. Just this one replacement can make a big difference in a car's appearance, mainly because it's such a large component in and of itself. You can replace a Scion FRS hood with one that's an exact copy of the vehicle's stock Scion hood, or you can select a customized Scion hood that falls in line with a new design you had in mind for your Scion car. Either way, you'll end up with a Scion car that's better looking, with an engine that's better protected from anything that might damage it
Scion FRS Carbon Fiber Trunks are located at the back of most Scion trucks, Scion SUVs, and Scion cars, and act as the main storage spaces for these vehicles. For Scion truck owners, the Scion trunk is mostly an open bed that is left uncovered. For Scion drivers of cars and SUVs, however, the Scion trunk is often a distinct space reserved for the transportation of luggage, groceries, and all kinds of other odds and ends.
Though you can't replace the Scion trunk space itself, you can replace the Scion rear trunk hatch that keep that keeps the trunk space enclosed. Also often known as a Scion FRS hatch, this piece is as replaceable as the Scion FRS front hood is, though it is replaced far less commonly. If your car got rear-ended, or even if it's just bruised up a bit to the point where paint alone can't make a difference, you may want to replace that trunk hatch or Scion FRS hood with an aftermarket version that looks cleaner and newer to help maintain the value of your Scion vehicle.

Medical outreach 503-947-7606
If your
claim is accepted
If your
claim is denied
If your
claim is deferred
for independent medical examination (IME)
for worker requested medical examination
How workers
compensation insurance interacts with your health insurance
The workers compensation insurance company (the insurer) will pay for medical treatment
and prescriptions for your injury or occupational disease. However, the insurer will not
pay any medical bills until your claim is accepted or denied. The insurer has
60 days to accept or deny your claim.
your claim is accepted
The insurer will pay for injury-related medical treatment and prescription drugs. Transportation,
meals, and lodging necessary to visit medical offices will be reimbursed within limits set
by Oregon Administrative Rules. Your doctor will bill the insurer directly. Some insurers
now pay pharmacies directly for drugs. Be sure to keep receipts for all out-of-pocket
expenses. Send a written request for reimbursement with proof of expenses to the insurer
within two years of incurring the expenses.
your claim is denied
The insurer will not pay your medical bills (including bills for services
prior to the denial), with the following exceptions:
If you are required by the insurer to receive treatment from a managed care organization (MCO), the insurer will pay your medical bills during the time before your claim is denied.
If you have personal health insurance, the insurer may pay charges not covered by your health insurer for necessary medical care
unless your claim is denied within 14 days. These costs may be recovered from future claims.
If your claim is denied based on an independent medical examination (IME), and your own doctor doesnt
agree with the IME report, you may request a hearing on the denial and
request a medical examination by a doctor selected by the Workers
Compensation Division. This is called a worker-requested
medical examination.
Before your claim
is accepted or denied
No one should pay for medical expenses while waiting for the decision on the claim. If the
insurer accepts your claim, the insurer will pay for medical care related to the claim. If
the claim is denied, you or your private health insurance carrier will be responsible for
medical expenses. However, as of January 1, 2002, a claim that is denied and is on appeal
will be processed by the health insurance company, provided you have coverage. However, if
there is a balance remaining, the health care provider can bill the workers compensation
carrier, who will pay up to the fee schedule for certain types of medical services prescribed
to reduce pain, diagnose the condition or prevent disability. If the claim denial is ultimately
upheld, the amount paid to the health care provider can be held as an overpayment and deducted
from future workers compensation benefits with the same insurer.
By law, if you are receiving medical care in Oregon, the doctor may not seek payment from
you for the medical treatment related to the claim during the time the claim is being evaluated
or if the claim is accepted. It is also important to know that during the time the claim
is being evaluated (deferred), the insurer will not make payment for any medication the doctor
may prescribe or for any other expenses such as transportation costs for visits to the doctors
office. You should keep receipts for these expenses as they will be paid by the insurer,
in addition to related medical bills, if your claim is accepted. If the insurer sends you
for an evaluation during this deferred period, the insurer will reimburse expenses
to attend the appointments.
for independent
medical examination (IME)
The insurer pays all costs of an independent medical examination.
If you need advance payment of your costs to attend the examination, be
sure to request the advance as soon as possible. You
may have a family member or friend accompany you during the examination,
if you have the signed observer
form and give it to the doctor. However, doctor approval is required
for an observer in psychological exams. The insurer will not pay any expenses
for the family member or friend.
Payment for
worker requested medical examination
The insurer pays all costs for a worker requested medical examination.
The insurer will reimburse you for prescription costs for those prescriptions directly related
to your injury or occupational disease. Insurers are required to reimburse you within 30 days of receipt of your
written request for reimbursement.
The insurer will notify you at the time of your claim acceptance that actual and reasonable
costs for prescriptions paid by you will be reimbursed upon request. The insurer may require
reasonable documentation to support your request. If the insurer cannot determine if the
prescription costs are related to your accepted injury or disease, the insurer will inform
you what information is needed before the request for reimbursement can be processed.
How workers
compensation insurance interacts with your health insurance
If you have personal health insurance, the workers compensation insurer
may pay charges not covered by your health insurance for necessary medical care unless your
claim is denied within 14 days. These costs may be recovered from future claims with this

The Rhetoric Trap
I think Jonathon Chait makes a really good point here:
Now, most elite Republicans understand that the red meat fed to the base isn't exactly right. It's useful to scare the daylights out of the activists, but writers for the Standard and the Journal editorial page understand that "freedom," as most people understand the term, is not really at risk. They understand as well that politics is a little more complicated than "if Republicans stay true to conservatism, they cannot lose."
But the conservative base is not in on the joke. And so Republican elites found themselves with just a few frantic days to undo the toxic and intoxicating effects of 20 months of relentless propaganda. Vote for the man who compromised with evil! The true conservative can't always win! They couldn't do it.
I won't say that the Republican base strategy has been a total failure. But it is nice to see it blow up in the face of the establishment from time to time.
He's a little more happy about this whole Christine O'Donnell scenario than I am, but I think this is important, and it reminds me of something President Obama said a while back when he visited the House Republicans at their retreat.
So all I'm saying is, we've got to close the gap a little bit between the rhetoric and the reality. I'm not suggesting that we're going to agree on everything, whether it's on health care or energy or what have you, but if the way these issues are being presented by the Republicans is that this is some wild-eyed plot to impose huge government in every aspect of our lives, what happens is you guys then don't have a lot of room to negotiate with me.
I mean, the fact of the matter is, is that many of you, if you voted with the administration on something, are politically vulnerable in your own base, in your own party. You've given yourselves very little room to work in a bipartisan fashion because what you've been telling your constituents is, this guy is doing all kinds of crazy stuff that's going to destroy America.
And I would just say that we have to think about tone. It's not just on your side, by the way — it's on our side, as well. This is part of what's happened in our politics, where we demonize the other side so much that when it comes to actually getting things done, it becomes tough to do.
I think people generally underestimate the effect of conservative hyperbolic rhetoric. It's nice to sit over here on the left and think that every Republican in the Senate genuinely believes the crap coming out of Fox News, but the fact is that not all of them do. I'm sure there are several Republicans who would love to compromise on legislation but are boxed in by this rhetoric. And it's not just Republicans either. I'm sure that this also effects conservative Democrats like Ben Nelson too.
People have to realize that the vast majority of people don't pay attention. For those that do, a majority of them are watching Fox News, and are exposed to this hyperbole all day long, and it's poisonous. It stifles rational debate and fosters gridlock.
There's a part of me that wants the Republicans to win the House so that they have to lay in the bed they made. How can you pass a bill without compromising with the enemy? But the other part of me knows how irresponsible the GOP can be and I can't eliminate the possibility of utter gridlock on Capitol Hill.
One thing is for certain. If the GOP wants to create any public policy in the near future, it will either have to tone down the rhetoric, or control the entire government.
For America's sake, I hope it's the former.

Biggest Surprise
The engine blowing in the No. 27 Chevy (Paul Menard). It was the first blown engine in the last four Coke Zero 400s.
Best Move
Dale Earnhardt Jr. went from starting 16th to 29th, and Tony Stewart dropped from 13th to 31st by the sixth lap, trying to stay out of trouble.

PCC in the News
News: Men' Hoops Slump At 1-4
It was two games and out for the Pasadena City College men's basketball team Nov. 16-17 at the San Bernardino Valley College Hunter Classic. The Lancers were badly outrebounded in a 78-72 first-round loss to College of the Desert on Friday. PCC was eliminated Saturday by fellow South Coast Conference foe El Camino College-Compton Center, losing by a 101-95 score.
The Lancers dropped to 1-4 in the young season.
In the Desert defeat, the Roadrunners outrebouned PCC, 64-43. Second-season guard Mike Swanegan led the Lancers with 16 points (and five assists). Sophomore guard Evan Brooks added 14 points off the bench while letterman starting point guard Chris Smith totaled 13 points and six assists. Starting freshman forward Bryce Clifton chipped in 10 points. Desert's Shawnrontate Foster powered his team with 20 points and 18 rebounds.
Against ECC Compton, PCC shot the ball well, making 19 of 22 free throws (86.4 percent), shooting a reasonable 48.6 percent from the floor (34 of 70) and hitting eight 3-point baskets. What did in the Lancers was poor ball-handling as they committed 28 turnovers.
Brooks started and scored 20 points (9-for-11 from the line) and grabbed eight rebounds. Swanegan drilled five 3-pointers as part of his 19 points while reserve sophomore forward Marquise Tolson had 14 points (6-for-6 on free throws). Smith scored 12 points and Clifton 11. Second-year center Lorelle Martin came off the bench for nine points in just 10 minutes of action. Starting freshman guard Jeffrey Dockett added eight points.
PCC led 51-49 at halftime, but turnovers helped Compton to convert 31 points off of Lancers' mistakes to pull out the consolation semifinal win. Compton received a giant game from Luis Engleton with 25 ponts and 16 rebounds.
The Lancers play a non-conference game at Santa Monica College on Saturday, Nov. 24 at 5 p.m.

Alexander H. Smith and Nancy Smith Weber
The University of Michigan Press
The foremost handbook for mushroom hunters, beginners and experts alike.
The Mushroom Hunter's Field Guide is the guide that tells when, where, and how to find delicious edible mushrooms and how to avoid poisonous ones.

All of the mushrooms included are illustrated in beautiful color, adding visual enjoyment to the textual materials. The descriptions are tinged with wit and wisdom, making the use of this guide an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

The Family Medicine Residency Program is the most recognized component of the dynamic Department of Family Medicine at Carolinas Medical Center (CMC). Other departmental programs include: the teaching of medical students and initiatives in community-oriented primary care, health promotion/disease prevention, geriatrics, behavioral medicine, sports medicine, occupational health and clinical research, and a novel Integrative Medicine curriculum and principles of LEAN.
The Residency Program formally began in 1973, but its heritage goes back much further with its predecessor, a general practice training program. Our program accepts nine residents each year – six in the main program and three in the urban track. We also have a rural residency program that accepts two residents per year.
Residents selected for the main and urban programs have the majority of their clinical experiences at CMC. We completed construction and moved into our beautiful 23,000 square foot, state-of-the art Family Medicine Center, CMC-Elizabeth Family Medicine (named after the surrounding neighborhood) in September 2009. Our main clinic is located immediately adjacent to CMC-Mercy, a partner hospital located only one mile from CMC. Our Urban Track clinic is located at CMC-Biddle Point.
Our Family Medicine adult inpatient service is located at CMC-Mercy, which is an exciting opportunity that enhances our residents' training experience. In addition to doing their off-service inpatient rotations at CMC (a large, tertiary-care medical center with residents of many other specialties), our residents also experience an "unopposed" setting at CMC-Mercy during the months they are on our adult inpatient service.
The Residency Program is fully approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and has always filled its positions with highly qualified residents. Family Medicine is a key component throughout Carolinas HealthCare System, including the community's extensive network of private family physicians. Family physicians, whether faculty or residents, are well accepted in this highly collaborative atmosphere throughout the medical community, but particularly throughout Carolinas Medical Center by faculty and resident peers on other services.
The program offers an array of special opportunities for unique individuals who aspire to become the most competent and well-prepared family physicians for today's ever-changing healthcare environment.

The steamy temperatures during the day and downpour in the evening didn't discourage thousands of people from lining the streets to watch the 33rd annual Delaware City Day parade and fireworks show on Saturday.
The parade featured bands, performers, politicians and community groups -- many throwing candy to kids along the parade route. The festivities then continued into the night with a 20-minute fireworks show that went off despite drizzling rain that turned into a full-blown downpour as soon as the show ended.

Incoming UCLA freshman Alison Lee won a pair of matches on Thursday to advance to the quarterfinals of the 113th U.S. Women's Amateur at The Country Club of Charleston in South Carolina.
Lee, 17, defeated local favorite Katelyn Dambaugh in 19 holes in her morning match, then cruised to a 3 and 2 victory over Alexandra Harkins in the afternoon.
Against Dambaugh, Lee won the 19th hole with a birdie. Earlier in the round, Dambaugh rallied on the inward nine from a 2-up deficit, squaring the match with a par at the 16th hole.
In her afternoon match, Lee made three birdies on the front side and built a 5-up lead after the outward nine. Harkins cut the lead to three, but ultimately ran out of holes.
In Friday's quarterfinals, Lee will meet Katelyn Sepmoree of Tyler, TX.

Summer is almost over! Kids are heading back to school in the next couple of weeks and the fall harvest has already begun. It's time to tackle that bucket list of fun summer activities that I always look forward to and yet, never seem to find the time to do during the busy summer months. A friend of mine and I sat down together and picked 4 summer activities that we wanted to do and designated Sunday's in August as our time to do them.
Two weeks ago we drove out to the Maryhill Museum of Art. This place is a treasure trove of facinating Columbia Gorge art and history. Sam Hill, the creator of the museum, was a world traveler with many unusual and very talented friends that contributed art to fill the museum displays. There is a fantastic collection of pieces from Queen Marie of Romania, a friend of Sam Hill's after he aided the country during WWII. Also, an interesting display of the theater works of Loie Fuller and original works by her friend, Auguste Rodin (If you've seen "The Thinker," you've seen a Rodin). There were several other great displays, but the interconnected story of these 3 friends struck me the most. We capped off the day with a stop at Jacob Williams winery on the way home for a little wine tasting overlooking the river before heading back to Sakura Ridge to relax.
Last weekend, we ventured west to Cascade Locks and hopped on the Sternwheeler for an hour sightseeing trip down the river. They are running a special in honor of their 30th anniversary for a $14 tour on Sunday afternoons. We grabbed a glass of champagne at the bar and sat on the upper deck enjoying the sun and scenery. It was great to see the river from a different perspective and a slower pace. The guide gave some interesting facts and told the story of the original Bridge of the Gods. I would definitely do this again!
I'm looking forward to a rafting trip and a round of golf in the weekends to come! What's on your bucket list of summer fun?
