Present: Joey Brown, Josh Grochow, Laura Jones, Kelly Ledbetter, Rachael Miller, Allison Ringhand, Nicholas Stock, Nick Tarasen, Anthony Todd
From the Library: Judi Nadler, Elisabeth Long, Rachel Rosenberg, Sem Sutter, Agnes Tatarka, Jim Vaughan
[introduced by Agnes Tatarka, Assessment Director for the Library]
Agnes is looking for volunteers to interview about the research process. 60-90 minutes and you get $15, plus the undying gratitude of the Library. Email Agnes (email@example.com) if you are interested.
We are about to run a new survey about the Library, sent to all graduate students. (The following year we will survey faculty, and after that undergraduates.) Please fill it out and encourage your colleagues/friends/acquaintances to fill it out.
Email Notices: all fee/fine/overdue/recall notices from the Library now should arrive in text, avoiding a previous bug.
Scanning to webshare: all "copiers" now offer scan to USB or webshare.
[introduced by Elisabeth Long, DLDC Co-Director]
The DLDC coordinates the Library website and other digital projects. We collaborate extensively with other Library staff, NSIT, and faculty. Some examples of the work that we do:
Anthony pointed out that many instructors (including teaching graduate students) have no clue what's approved/allowable under copyright until the Library tells us when we try to put things on reserve. At that point, usually very close to the quarter starting, it's very difficult to redesign our syllabus and curriculum. It would be really nice to have some copyright instruction during the 2-day workshop on teaching and learning.
One LSRG member asked if some of the University/Library content could be licensed more freely, for example under a Creative Commons license. Elisabeth noted that our permission requirements are very close to a Creative Commons, but we don't use the actual license. Is it possible users perceive us as being more restrictive than we really are? LSRG members also inquired about a University common "image bank" -- Rachel replied that the University does have images available, but they charge for access and usage to it.
Elisabeth also reminded LSRG members that ProQuest won't put up images used in your dissertation unless you can prove you have rights/permissions for them.
An LSRG member asked if printing out articles from JSTOR or other databases was violating copyright? (Answer: No, as long as it's for your own personal use and you aren't systematically printing out every article in a journal or something.)
Academic honesty is another possible concern for students, Judi noted. One of our staff (Rebecca Starkey) has created a information page on academic honesty for students and faculty. Both this page and the Copyright information page are linked from Chalk as well.
Most LSRG members prefer to read whole books in print, but if there's just one thing to look up, which is often the case in the sciences, it's nice to have a digital copy available. E-books are great for browsing, scanning, and deciding whether the book is worth reading.
Judi announced that our mass digitization project with Google (via the CIC) is on hold right now because we are "between agreements." We hope to reach a new agreement with Google soon. However, as a consequence of this agreement, books with full text from Hathi Trust are starting to appear in Lens (example). [Note: the example book won't work in IE -- Hathi Trust buttons don't show up in detailed records under IE.]
An LSRG member asked if there was an easy way to go directly to an online journal article, rather than going to the Library's website, finding the journal, clicking through the publisher's website, and so on. Occasionally articles have permanent/stable URLs, but not always. Elisabeth replied that publishers often see these steps as a feature, because then you have to use their website instead of going directly to a PDF. However, one solution is to use our Citation Linker (it doesn't work all the time, but it's helpful).
Jim updated the LSRG on the construction of the Mansueto Library. (View Jim's powerpoint slides.) Since last September, we have finished excavation, done necessary sump pump and piping work, and poured the concrete slab floor. Current activity includes laying structural steel and work in the mechanical space between Regenstein and Mansueto. Inside Regenstein, the first-floor bathrooms and outer exhibit gallery have been closed for work on the "bridge" connecting Regenstein and Mansueto. In a complementary project, we are seeking funding from the University to remodel parts of the Special Collections Research Center, including creating an attractive gallery and entrance to SCRC from the bridge.
Jim reminded the group that construction photos are taken regularly and posted on Flickr.
The monitor on the first floor of Regenstein will soon be displaying content.
Could classes take a field trip to Special Collections (not hold the entire class, just a one-time visit)? It would help students get excited about Library collections.
We have learned, through assessment, that students are not always aware of Library resources. When we told this to the Library Board (a group of faculty members that advises the Library), one faculty member suggested that a librarian come to their class and do a workshop. This will be happening in Spring Quarter in a history class and an anthropology class. (Some LSRG members cautioned that good librarians don't always make good teachers, or don't always offer relevant content in their workshops.)
One LSRG member noted he always finds out about new electronic resources from other people in his department, never from a librarian.
Some students don't want to burden librarians working at the Ask a Librarian desk, so don't stop by and ask questions.

We use the general noun thing more commonly in speaking than in writing.
It is most commonly used to refer to physical objects, but we also use thing to refer to ideas, actions and events:
What's that thing over there in the car park?
She always says that she hasn't a thing to wear.
Can you put your things in the upstairs room? (things here = personal belongings)
Anger is a very dangerous thing in a young man.
So don't rush him. These things take time and we certainly don't want to upset him.
A holiday? That's just the thing for you.
Hi Geoff. How's things? (How's things is a common informal greeting.)B:
Fine, thanks. How are you?
We often use thing in a similar way to wh-cleft constructions (What we need to do is …). It is also often used with to and with that-clauses (underlined):
The thing we need to know is why they missed the train.
The thing they said that we shouldn't forget was to take a boat trip on the lake.
The best thing to do is to phone the doctor at once.
The thing that worries me most is the cost of the holiday.
In speaking, we commonly use the phrase the thing is. We use it when we want to focus on something, or to indicate that there is a problem:
The thing is … erm … we don't have time to visit New York as well as Washington.
Yeah, that's OK, but the thing is, he still hasn't apologised for being late.
Thing is an example of vague language. It allows speakers not to sound too direct. We often use thing in phrases such as things like that, that kind of thing:
They're cooking lots of different Italian and Spanish dishes and things like that.
When I worked in a newspaper office, there wasn't time for eating lunch or that kind of thing, you know.
We also use thing to show both positive (usually affectionate) and negative attitudes, mainly when accompanied by appropriate adjectives:
Our cat is too old now to leave the house, poor thing.
You lucky thing! I wish I had the chance to visit New Zealand.
You're going to get paint on that dress. Why don't you get changed?B:
It doesn't matter. It's just an old thing.
Stuff is one of the most common nouns in speaking. It is more informal than thing. It is not at all common in writing.
Stuff is an uncountable noun. We use stuff in similar ways to thing, especially in vague language phrases such as stuff like that:
Where can we put our stuff? (our belongings) (very similar to, but more informal than, Where can we put our things?)
She didn't have much advice to offer. She just told us to learn lots of new English vocabulary and stuff like that.

Employment costs by occupation in March
July 10, 2002
Average compensation costs in private industry were $26.43 per hour for white-collar occupations in March 2002, significantly higher than the $20.15 recorded for blue-collar occupations and the $10.95 for service occupations.
Benefits, however, accounted for a greater proportion of compensation costs for blue-collar occupations (30.5 percent) than for white-collar (26.3 percent) and service occupations (23.1 percent).
These data are a product of the BLS Employment Cost Trends program. Additional information is available from "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, March 2002," news release USDL 02-346.
Note: The publication schedule for the "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation" news release will change this year. Future publications will be issued on a quarterly basis, with data collected for the pay period including the 12th day of the survey months of March, June, September, and December. Publications will be issued approximately three months after the month of reference. Data will be available on a quarterly basis beginning with June 2002 data.

Bacha Khan: Lessons from the past
July 20 2011: Ali Gohar, founder of Just Peace International in Peshawar, Pakistan, recently shared with us one of the inspirations for his work - the life story of Bacha Khan. A pacifist Pashtun leader from the early 20th century who strove to transform not just his own Pashtun society but the whole of India. He used rigorous nonviolence and drew hundreds of thousands of followers into his movement despite harrassment, assault and torture from the British colonial regime, and against the backdrop of being in a country ruled by a foreign regime.
Ali Gohar is the founder of Just Peace International in Peshawar, Pakistan. He recently shared with us one of the inspirations for his work – the life story of Bacha Khan, a pacifist Pashtun leader who strove to transform not just his own Pashtun society but the whole of India. He used rigorous nonviolence and drew hundreds of thousands of followers into his movement despite harrassment, assault and torture from the British colonial regime, and against the backdrop of being in a country ruled by a foreign regime. According to Ali, today, more than ever, people in India, Pakistan and beyond have much to learn from looking at the life and lessons of Bacha Khan.
Domination and Disillusion
Abdul Ghaffar Khan, born into a local elite landowning family, grew up in the dawn of the 20th century, enjoying education, amongst other privileges. He grew up with everything one needed for a bright future within a class of influential Pashtuns integrated into the power structure of the colonial system.
But as Ali points out:
After completing his education, he was planning to join the British Army but he saw the cruelty of the British toward the Pashtun, so he left and then just followed his father in the agriculture field. But in agriculture he also witnessed a lot of cruelty, which motivated him to educate people and work for reform.
The India Khan grew up in was one of domination, penetrating all aspects of society. Not only were Indians ruled by British, but also poor tenant farmer families remained under the control of religious clergy and landowning families such as Khan's. The latter kept the former in tight dependence by denying these workers access to any form of education.
Ali stresses the daunting implications of Khan's situation.
Due to 'Azizwali' the Pashtun 'code of life' it was very difficult for Pashtuns to start something against Pashtuns in their own community who had been given power and money to crush the people.
The King of Chiefs
In 1910, Khan, at only 20 years, felt compelled by all the suffering around him to start a reformation.
Ali emphasises:
He was not a politician in the beginning. He was just a reformer, a social reformer, tackling the exploitation in the community
Searching for guidance in his efforts to reform society, Khan started reading the Qur'an and studying the life of the Prophet Muhammad. Inspired by what he found, Khan also read about Islam and Pukhtoonwali, the cultural values and way of life of the Pashtun people. Between 1910 and 1918, Khan visited around 500 villages across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, trying to raise the Pashtun people's awareness of the injustices taking place around them. As result of these endeavours he came to be known as 'Bacha Khan' – King of Chiefs.
Describing this early period of Khan's activism, Ali stresses how Khan:
Started establishing schools on his own, beginning a change of his pattern of life. He was a landlord but became a simple layman. From this educational project he went on to cleaning streets, because his philosophy was that by cleaning the environment, you are cleaning your inner self.
Striving to transform his environment from within:
Khan put a lot of energy into mending relations between different families and tribes who were murdering each other, always saying that if we don't even have unity among ourselves, we would always be exploited by others.
As Ali further highlights:
Our culture has a class system – like the Hindus. And Bacha Khan empowered the class of marginalised people. He himself was participating in a daily drill under the command of a very poor man from his own village.
Altogether Khan founded 70 schools that were teaching boys and girls about a peaceful, nonviolent way of life, thereby standing out from the crowd of scared and subdued people caught between domination from fellow Indian elites and British colonialist reign.
The birth of a movement
Soon the British caught wind of Khan's activities. They closed his schools and put him into prison. After Khan was released, he started the newspaper 'Pukhtoon' in 1928, which promoted the values of sacrifice, courage, nonviolence and charity. Encouraged by his success, Khan organised a grand 'jirga' meeting in 1929, assembling all regional tribal leaders.
Ali explains the significance of this meeting in Khan's time and ours.
Jirga is a community based institution that has been part of the Pashtun community for 5,000 years. If you go to them today and talk nonviolently I am a 100 per cent sure that they will listen to you, they will be with you. My main concern is that there is this institution and we need to use it.
Khan's jirga led to the start of a nonviolent Islamic movement, called 'Khudai Khidmatgar', or 'Servants of God'. In accordance with Khan's ideology, these 'nonviolent soldiers' – all volunteers – dressed in red and practised 'nonviolent drills'. When joining the Servants of God, or 'Red Shirts' as they were nicknamed after their red dyed uniforms, members would vow not to harm their enemies and practise forgiveness even in domestic quarrels. They were completely committed to enduring repression without considering retaliation. Their life was one of simplicity which centred on a worldview of interconnected religious and nonviolent values, as well as a vision of political, social and economical alternatives to the status quo. This was naturally at odds with the British Empire's grip on India.
Perseverance in Intimidation
Strikes and other activities of nonviolent opposition were the means by which the Red Shirts were able to achieve support from the local population and dominate regional politics.
At its height the Red Shirts constituted around 100,000 members. The British felt increasingly threatened by Khan's growing movement and tried to silence it through imprisonment, torture and even killing.
Ali points out how:
Khan was beaten in prison. One time he was beaten so much that two of his ribs were broken, and he always, always stayed non-violent. The Red Shirts were attacked so many times by the British Army, and were even burned. But they were always non-violent. And that's why the people followed.
The combination of Islam and nonviolence was vital in Khan's eyes. He viewed his struggle as a jihad only with the enemy who held a sword. As a result of their bravery, facing relentless repression with acts of nonviolence, he and his Servants of God's gained an immense respect.
Khan's ideas today
Today the people of India and Pakistan are again, or still, caught in fierce and violent conflict, claiming countless lives and leaving whole regions deprived and despaired. Ali mentions how Islam dominated society back in Khan's time. "Islam was embraced by the Pashtoon in totality. Islam was not the choice of a single individual, but of whole tribes", and stresses that Islam is still important for understanding the region nowadays. Ali goes onto stress the importance and relevence of Khan's ideas in peacebuilding today, stating that "these things, the reformation, the community based approach and the grassroots level work should be exposed to the people of the world."
I interviewed people who are 'Servants of God'. They told me how they ask someone blamed of being a murderer to go and seek their accusers, and put themselves at their mercy. If they didn't kill you but forgave you then you would be allowed to become a Servant of God. This strive for reconciliation is great, especially now in a time where Pashtuns are extremely violent.
Ali regrets that "Bacha Khan's message of nonviolence is not practised today and this is our bad luck, because there are very few Servants of God left." But inspired by Bacha Khan's nonviolent struggle for peace and justice, as well as speaking from a wealth of experience in local peacebuilding, Ali concludes that "nonviolence is the way for us. I am trying to take these arms from my people in the community who are in enmity with each other".

Being Pakistani we all know the charisma of Bacha Khan who practically demonstrated the qualities of a Charismatic leader BUT still we are hesitant to follow him
on August 15, 2011
Bacha Khan Predicted the current state of pukhtoons 30 years ago when he stated that if we don't stop this fire of violence it will knock at our door steps. unfortunately large number of people in Pakistan still don't acknowledge his service to our nation.
on November 30, 2011
The same awareness and jihad is required. We need awareness in our society. Pashtoons today are living in a very bad condition……… we need a leader at least implement the ideas in to action….
on October 24, 2012
Bacha Khan Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan it is impossible to define in a few words… it required a thousand of years.. In short Bacha Khan mean humanity, serve, non violence, and social leader.
on March 18, 2013
One of the very, very best articles I have ever read in my lifetime! It is so great to know about our great leader in such depth and detail! Kudos to the interviewer!
on April 10, 2013
Every religion aims at bringing out the expressions of love ,forgiveness,mercy,compassion,brotherhood etc,but the picture that we see in Pakistan is in denial of Quaid;s vision as sectarian divisions are deepening and the minorities are exposed to mob madness and religious frenzy at will. "You have thrown us to the wolves."These are the words of Bacha Khan,which apply so truly in case of minorities.
The world needs a Islamic Pacifist like him.

Coordinator Comment
As autumn approaches, we need to take a moment to appreciate the changes of each season.Ā I like spring, for its newness, summer for the heat to swim, autumn for its colors and winter for the chance to be snowed in.Ā All Blessings!!
I am 23 years
old and I just found out that I have Stickler syndrome. Elementary school was
absolutely horrible for me. I was teased constantly.Ā I had lost some hearing and wore a hearing aid and they were the
big bulky ones. I used to take them off as soon as I left the house, and took
off the horrible glasses they wanted me to wear. I had a wandering, blind eye
because of three retina detachments and a cataract. And to make matters worse
my step-mother cut my then very red hair to almost two inches long and had it
permed. How yucky!!
In my first year of high school I had an operation to straighten my eye. It turned out wonderful and nobody would know I was blind unless I told them.Ā I am only slightly nearsighted and wear glasses when I feel I need to. My hearing is a little off but I do fine without a hearing aid now. I was
expecting high school to be a breeze compared to elementary school. Not so!!
My facial features became very prominent in high school-my small chin, the flat face, the very small nasal bridge and I had to wear braces now!! Kids can be cruel but high schoolers are just plain nasty!!
A couple of years into college, I came to Texas from Canada and met the man I would marry. He is wonderful and we are living a dream as far as I'm concerned. We had our first child just three months ago and I was devastated to learn that she had a cleft palate. I was almost crushed when I found out about Sticklers.
Then I realized that we had an advantage with
her. Early prevention!! Her hearing has been screened and she has passed, she
is slightly near-sighted and she looks just like me as far as the facial
features and long bones go. I am determined to overcome any obstacle we can and
to teach her she may look a little different and do things differently than
others but she can achieve anything she wants to. She is my pride and joy and
the most beautiful baby I've ever seen.
Now that I know about Sticklers, everything in my life now makes sense. I have found wonderful support through SIP and I finally feel like I fit in.Ā I am an attractive young woman and I feel very confident in myself now.Ā Kids can sometimes be mean and make a lasting impression on someone for a life time and that's why I'm going to take every opportunity I can to teach my daughter caring, compassion, strength and that she is the key to her own happiness.
I pray at least one person finds strength in my story and knows you are not alone.
SIP is a member of the Genetic Alliance (formerly the Alliance of Genetic Support Groups) and they have requested 300 copies of our brochures.Ā These will be distributed at exhibits at the American Society of Human Genetics, National Society of Genetic Counselors, and American College of Medical Genetics meetings.Ā SIP is offering you a REAL way to ōhands onö prevent blindness.Ā Obviously, the more persons who are diagnosed, the more detachments are prevented.Ā Please contact us, if you are willing to have the copies made and to mail them.Ā The cost would be about $25 for each set of brochures and we have 3 different approaches.
About a year ago, we requested that you send Nancy Barry your ideas for making life with Stickler syndrome easier.Ā NancyĀ has worked so hard to collect the ideas in this book.Ā It is indexed and is a super support tool.Ā If you want a copy, send $5 to SIP atĀ her address:Ā 20 Sunset Ct, Fowler, ILĀ 62338.ĀĀ Or e-mail her at:Ā email@example.com
Also, Nancy hopes to put out a new edition when she gets enough ideas.Ā So, send your hints for a future publication.
Think, in advance, of persons you NEVER can find the right gift for.Ā Send SIP a donation for the scholarship fund, in their honor.
We do have some volunteers to start the conference scholarship project.Ā News of that will be in later newsletters.Ā For now, remember to use this website for all your on-line buys:Ā IGIVE: http://www.Igive.comĀ AND that it pays SIP money.Ā So far, IGIVE has sent over $400 to SIP!!Ā
Barb is HARD at work making plans for the conference in Montreal.Ā She has booked the Holiday Inn Pointe-Claire www.holiday-inn.com/hotels/yulpc forĀ July 6-8. 2001.ĀĀ Start your planning now and REMEMBER that the American $ goes a lot further in Canada!!!!
Glenda is working toward a ōget togetherö for Aussies.Ā She has a great idea of using Cabbage Patch Kids (with glasses) to illustrate a child with Stickler syndrome.ĀĀ
From ANOTHER SUPPORT GROUP
One of our new
members has heard
excellent comments about sip from the geneticist and the retina doctor who were at the Denver conference.Ā When she got the Sticklers diagnosis, she was prepared, because she was educated. The geneticist told her he had met so many Stickler families at the conference that were just wonderful, nice and normal. Then Rick gave her the retina doctor's name that spoke, so she would have one "on hand." He told her the same thing. He said SIP were great people.
Stickler - The Elusive Syndrome
This book, written by Wendy Hughes,Ā explains, inĀ layman terms, the conŁdiŁtion, possible medical probŁlems, and how it can affect individuals.Ā The approach is positive and leaves the reader with hope and skills to manage Stickler syndrome.
WendyÆs book is available for $28.50 payable to Stickler Involved People.Ā The cost includes exchange to British pounds, shipping and handling.Ā Send requests to:Ā Stickler Involved PeoŁple, 15 Angelina, Augusta,Ā KS 67010
Excitement in the Air
Dr Stickler contacted SIP, having some time and energy.Ā He is now working toward one of our dreams, to find or start clinics specifically for Stickler syndrome patients.Ā He isĀ looking to find the ōexpertsö in practice, who are familiar with Stickler syndrome and may be willing to start a clinic format.Ā At the least, he feels we will have a list of doctors whom we do not have to educate.
ĀōI've been told that ENTs are trained
primarily to fix problems, either medically or surgically. Apparently the
emphasis is not so much on "WHY do you have this particular problem",
but "WHAT SHOULD I DO to take care of it". This explains why ENTs
basically throw up their hands when presented with permanent hearing loss. It's
not fixable.ö
A member, with a lot of sinus and ear infections, was told that Stickler sinuses are flattened and don't drain normally.Ā She recommends the following website:Ā
A diagram called an Amsler grid, which can be used
for emergency eye exam (to reassureĀĀ
until the doctor calls) can be found, with instructions for use: www.retinas.com/ V1R3/Information/MacInfo.htm
ōI'd like to thank all who expressed an interest in my
research project, a survey of audiological findings in connective tissue
disorders. As of today, I've sent out a total of 19 surveys.. about one fifth
to one third of the total number of surveys I'd like to collect. The surveys
are designed to screen for a variety of risk factors for hearing loss and
connective tissue disorders.
I am especially interested in obtaining information from individuals who, before seeing an audiologist, strongly suspected they had a hearing loss, but were told after testing that they had normal hearing. Or possibly you were diagnosed with central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) with normal hearing. My review of the molecular biology in some varieties of the connective tissue disorders I'm targeting suggests that the auditory effects could be very difficult to detect with routine audiological tests.
Please contact me via my private email address or phone if you are interested in participating in this study.Ā Thanks,ĀĀĀĀ Marge Tamas (770) 439-6037 (please limit calls to 9 am - 9 pm Eastern US time) firstname.lastname@example.comö
PLEASE,Ā take a few minutes to contact Marge.Ā The results of this study could give answers some of YOUR questions about Stickler syndrome hearing loss.
At this moment, we are getting prices for the member directory.Ā If you forgot to get your information to Beth, send it TODAY.Ā She will be making pages to add to the directory.Ā She is Beth Johnston, 31 Timber Lane, Marstons Mills, MAĀ 02536ĀĀ or you can e-mail information to her: email@example.com
At the Seattle conference and on the list server, we worked on a list of Frequently Asked Questions and their answers.Ā That article will soon be posted to the website.Ā So, make sure you watch for it!!
FROM a MEMBER
ōThe other day I happened across a show called "The
Operation" on The Learning Channel. They were showing different surgeries
and how technology has improved them. They showed a child having his first
cleft palate correction surgery. I had never seen a cleft palate - it was very
educational and interesting, and really expanded my understanding. They showed
after the surgery, the child having speech therapy and how he was
adapting.Ā If you are interested, you
might look in your TV Guide, or try looking on the TLC web page about that
ANOTHER WORD from MARGE
getting hold of the medical reports is a sticking point for a lot of people. If
you are enrolled in the NIH connective tissue study ("Variability of
Connective Tissue Disorders" with Dr. Francomano), you have already had
the tests that I need the data from.Ā
Look for the reports that say "AUD" and "ENT". Those
two reports have
all the hard data I need for this phase of the research.
Appreciated Letters
ōI just want you
to know that I greatly appreciate everything that you do....I felt totally
alone with my sonÆsĀ Stickler syndrome,
until I found your group.....The knowledge and the help you have given me has
made me feel like me and my family CAN and WILL deal with this and be
better people from it......THANK YOU for all that everyone does. My son and family GREATLY appreciate it.ö
ōThank you so
much for the information! I really appreciate it. I went to Stickler.org and I
am getting a lot of information. I understand the condition better now. Thank
you so much!ö
Childhood is an interesting phenomena for parents. The days last forever, and the years fly by."
The Stickler syndrome conference in July had a NEW approach.Ā We used the THEME :Ā Living with Stickler syndrome.Ā This meant we had MUCH less medical information and much more ōevery day livingö ideas.Ā Please remember that our new format for the conference included Dr Stickler as our only doctor. So, every thing else is layperson information.
DR STICKLER: He said that Martin Snead, in England, advocates prophylactic (preventative) sclera buckling. The quote from Mr Snead is : "Our policy is to offer all patients prophylactic 360 degree retinal cryotherapy and this is mainly type 1 Stickler syndrome. The surgical objective is not to prevent (giant) retinal tear formation (because we know it doesn't), but to stop this progressing to detach the posterior retina. This is why the treatment must be contiguous without any gaps. All patients seem to be at high risk irrespective of age, degree of myopia and even if the retina looks "normal" which it usually does. In our series of over 100 patients, although many had lattice retinopathy, the commonest fundal finding was normality. This is why vitreous examination is so crucial to not missing the diagnosis rather than looking for obvious retinal "disease". Dr Stickler says "When you distribute it, you may want to mention that this was a statement of his present opinion which he had sent to me."
(Notes continued on pages 6-8)
Mr Snead also told Dr Stickler that 60% of his patients who did not have the buckle done had a retina detach and only 8% did with the buckle.
Dr Stickler said that he believes that ear tubes are "not essential", in fact are questionable in preventing hearing loss. He said if a person is in doubt about ANY surgery, that surgery should at least be postponed until the doubts are removed.
He said that the QUEX showed that speech problems improved with age, and asked if that was true of us who were in attendance. Other info from the QUEX that he highlighted was: Smooth skin, long fingers and toes were common AND height is within NORMAL ranges. Hair loss is not related to Stickler syndrome. The "crackling joints" were a new find. Lots of us use a hot tub, to help aches. We need to be careful with NSAIDs, and only use coated products. 65% of us stated a balance problem. 70% over 60 have had at least one joint replacement.
He said there are over 5000 known syndromes. So, it would impossible for a doctor to know all of them. We need to find a medical team to care for each of us. He also encouraged us to deal with denial.
NIH INFO: The responsibilities that had belonged to Doug Wilkin have been transferred to Jennifer Johnston. No replacement has been announced for Howard Levy yet. From the study, they have found that 75% of us have the COL2A1 mutation. There is a new DHPLC machine that is improving the search for a person's specific mutation. Doug looked at 10 exons (common spots to find a Stickler mutation) and the machine is examining 51 exons. Joan also said the study criteria has been changed from yearly exams to every two years and that only affected relatives of those already enrolled are being brought to Bethesda, for a while. She also said that, due to our results, they are starting a new Pain Management study.
The study is of three connective tissue disorders: Ehlers-Danlos, Marfan, and Stickler. The purpose is to 1) Look at progressions, 2) Find genetic causes, 3) Relate mutation to symptoms, and 4) Establish criteria to diagnose the syndrome. The progress so far has been 1) to discontinue the CT scans of the temporal bones, due to them all being normal; 2) On a scale of 1-10, pain seems to be 8-9 and caused a new questionnaire to be created and the new Pain Management strategies; 3) New OB/GYN concerns have been created, 4) They are looking at new osteoporosis findings and doing a baseline DEXA (bone density scan) on all participants over 10 years old; and 5) they are confirming the orthopedic findings of past studies. Joan said that 86% of us adults have "back pain. and that 100% of persons over 50 report hip pain.
JAMES MAY, from Fathers Network: Said the trick is the "Find the Balance" in a family with a disability, and to let good times balance the bad. Definition of a family: "A group of people who make an irrational commitment to each other's well being to the point of making each other crazy" - Urie Brunfnebrenner. He said that we need to see our family as a mobile and keep it in balance or it will collapse, just like a mobile. It can be readjusted but will never go back to the previous shape. He showed a cartoon of a street sweeper with a man running in front of it and said that is how a lot of us feel.
A family with a disability does not have to be a dysfunctional family. Males tend to want to "FIX" a situation, rather than feel guilty about it. Families experience guilt, anger, disappointment, helplessness, and resentment. We need to talk about the problem, not just the impact it is making on relationships. Families organize to handle problems, but find it difficult to change. A chronic illness (ongoing health problem) may become a family member, and act as a "two year old terrorist",
"An ENERGIZED FAMILY talks a lot, establishes community ties (as in coming to a conference), encourages the autonomy of family members, is capable of creative problem solving, utilizing family's skills, and has the ability to adjust to changes within the family" PRATT
He asked "What are YOU teaching your child about PERSONAL independence?"
He said that knowledge is power, that we need to educate our doctors, do not make enemies, and become our own expert. Pain deadens the soul. There is power in perception and in attitude. We should surround ourselves with SUPPORT. Do not try to "go it alone." "What we give others is what we need ourselves." Gerald Jampolsky "MAKE PEACE WITH IMPERFECTIONS" Richard Carlson
LEIGH ELSTON, genetic counselor student: passed out a chart of her findings about Stickler syndrome. Explained that "stop Codon" (a term used as part of the definition of Stickler syndrome) is like someone fixing a recipe and does not put in one ingredient. Everyone has 5 -6 genetic disorders. If the first person is diagnosed, the rest of a family is easier to diagnose. The average cost for genetic testing is $2400.
BILL Smedley: Recipient of Guide Dog: - Said he is "legally blind, which makes us illegally sighted". He spent 28 days in training with each dog, and had to be able to walk 8 blocks twice a day. To attend the school, a person has to be doctor certified. There are adaptive harnesses for persons with arthritis and the company adapts for other diablilities, by need. A person can do a trial meeting, before committing to the school. Bill said he gives about 45 minutes care a day for a 10 year friendship. The dogs are trained to see traffic, stop at curbs and stairs, and to avoid walking hazards. A cane is still needed to avoid overhangs, etc. Bill is soon to retire his second dog, due to the dog slowing down.
His wife was asked if she noticed a great change in Bill's freedom, after getting a Guide Dog. She said that he was very adventuresome before the dog and just safer after getting the dog.
JODIE RYAN- Community Services for the Blind: spoke about adaptive aids. She demonstrated a closed circuit TV with screen enlarger up to 60x. It comes in a hand held version, and costs about $3500. She finds state funding, employer funding, and church and local agencies may help.
A Q&A format explanation of the employer and employee responsibilities pertaining to the ADA laws is at 1-800-669-3362
She suggested calling your local phone company, with a doctor's letter, for free information calls, if your eyesight will not let you read the phone book. Call your Internet provider to set up a "profile", which can enlarge fonts and get rid of some of the advertisements. She said that www.Aisquared.com has a free 30 software for screen enlargements. Contact a Talking Books and Braille library for books to read. A catalog of low vision aids can be ordered from 1-800-INTGRTY.
Jodie suggested that we listen to ourselves, not necessarily "an authority" to understand our body's needs.
She said that persons with low vision should look into "independant driving" schools. They can teach a person to use a monocular, rather than binoculars. He advised "Lighthouse for the Blind," as a place for employment and training for low vision persons. They can hire someone who can teach you, according to your abilities. Find a person who will listen.
Jodie feels that seeing a lot of specialists requires a generalist to oversee the patient. She suggested looking up ERGONOMICS on the Internet to see if you need this type of help.
Above all, she says "EXERCISE YOUR ABILITIES"!!!
RANDY BISHOP - Parent of persons with and himself a person with hearing loss from Stickler syndrome: Randy's kids are now 17 &15. He told stories about April's superior accomplishments on the soccer field and Mark loosing the use of 5 hearing aids in a weekend. Randy believes that we have to become our own Stickler expert. He feels ADA started some understanding of the limited. Before that, he was considered DISOBEDIENT for not hearing what a teacher said. He said that hearing tests are very accurate for those who can hear.
We should not find "fault" with those who do not understand nor should we fault ourselves. He tried being a "good guy" with the school system, for his kids, and got nowhere. He tried being a "bad guy" and got nowhere. He learned to be their advocate - to forgive others - and to keep a positive attitude. Accept all offers from the system, and then select those you need.
Having a hearing loss is not all bad. Being able to read lips lets you tell what the coach and umpire are saying to each other at a ball game and the "handicapped" section tickets are cheaper.
Randy dreamed of
having a remote control for teachers, so he could rewind and rehear the
instructions at a higher volume. Our biggest barrier is denying a problem
exists. Disability gives a sixth sense and removes tunnel vision.
(The above are one personÆs notes, and therefore only what that person heard.)

Environmental Education
"Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world" (Nelson Mandela)
Local Schools and Community Environmental Education
The CLZ Environmental Education Centre provides accommodation for 24 children and 4 teachers. A large open-air classroom, outdoor eating facilities and hands-on exploratory room provide unique facilities for school children of all ages. The Environmental Education Program (EEP) was established in 2004 and now works with 50 basic/primary schools in the local area. Our project areas are: Chiawa, Chinyunyu, Chongwe, Rufunsa and Luangwa – the areas that surround the Lower Zambezi National Park. We provide educational support to schools through:
- an outreach program, carrying out conservation lessons and activities and encouraging environmental and HIV/AIDS awareness clubs that continue in CLZ's absence. We use the CLZ EEP Outreach Curriculum (see below).
- Environmental Education activity centre 4 day trips learning about the geography, biology and ecology of their local environment as well as how and more importantly, why to protect it. Mornings are spent in interactive lessons, games and activities and afternoons are spent, maybe for the first time, seeing wildlife in the National Park whilst on a game drive or a boat cruise.
- an annual teacher training workshop from one of the project areas each year. Teachers join together with their peers and learn the CLZ Enviro KITS curriculum and how to introduce more environmental education into their own schools.
CLZ Environmental Education Outreach Curriculum 2013
Safari Guide Training
With the help and support of the Royal Danish Embassy and DANIDA CLZ introduced a full Safari Guide Training Course to the Lower Zambezi in 2008. A total of 9 local trainees were taken on board. The trainees spent just over 3 months at the CLZ Base Camp covering primarily theoretical guide training with basic practical experience in the field. They were then sent on commercial placement to various lodges in the GMA and LZNP where they spent a further 3 months gaining in depth practical experience on site.
Needless to say all of the trainees featured extremely well in their exams and all 9 have now been formally employed as Safari Guides in the Lower Zambezi area.
A Safari Guide Training Manual specialised for the Lower Zambezi area was also produced during the scheme. The availability of such a universal resource has helped to open up the tourism and guiding industry specifically to local participants.
CLZ now runs the Lower Zambezi Safari Guide training and exams annually and frequently offers sponsorship to local candidates when funds are available.

Copyright 2003 Gus Solomons jr
NEW YORK -- One of the
many dance attractions at this year's New York International Fringe
Festival, Brooklyn-based Eva Dean Dance wants hard to be liked.
Seen this past Tuesday night at Washington Square United Methodist
Church, Dean herself dances with the verve of a college dance teacher,
breathily setting an example for her colleagues. Her nine women
dancers are accomplished and emotively more restrained than their
leader in four cordial dances, three touted as world premieres,
although at least two of the three are re-workings of earlier pieces.
Dean makes pretty patterns
in space, often using lilting runs and breathy galloping turns.
Dancers are attired in Jean Hill's attractive, usually matching
costumes. Whether there's overt emotional content, as in the 1991"Welcome
Back," or simply lyrical patterning, as in "Moon Garden," the dances
are delicate in texture, reflecting a decidedly female sensibility;
needlepoint comes to mind.
In the former dance,
the strongest of the evening, four schoolgirls, Cassie May, Brooke
Welty, Rachel Frank, and Mandy Sau-Yi Chan, in gray uniforms with
red neck bows taunt a fifth, Jessica Calhoun, whose kerchief is
blue: uh-oh, an oddball. A sixth girl, Laura Nash, comes to her
rescue and reconciles her with the group -- all but one mean holdout,
The latter piece, set
to an excerpt from the Asian-sounding "Lonesome" by the Alloy Orchestra,
is an etude, in which five women wearing sheer, midnight-blue pantaloons
walk serenely, tossing softball-size balls into the air and catching
them, or swaddling transparent yellow balloons with their forearms
and rolling them along their limbs. The piece remains an exercise:
pretty motifs in search of an expressive statement that would transform
it into a dance.
"Away From One's Front"
is self-descriptive. Four dancers run backward, trying not to collide
-- ninety percent of the choreography. It's harder than you think,
as one unmitigated collision and spill illustrate. But Dean runs
out of new ways to develop her concept before the dance's fifteen
minutes are up. Endlessly looping electric music of New Age persuasion
by Pressure Drop and Sven Van Hees becomes more soporific than hypnotic.
Throughout the program,
Zoe Klein's lighting does a lot with minimal equipment in the voluminous
church sanctuary, and stage manager Adam Glick hits all his cues
The big finish, "Booted,"
begins with Nash and Calhoun, in glitzy prom gowns and combat boots,
flirtatiously beating out a simple toe-heel-heel-stamp rhythm. They're
joined by five other characters similarly dressed: one sulky, one
sassy, one bored, one dizzy, one perky. Then Chan and Frank in pedal-pushers,
white aprons, and high heels fling fancy pumps at the septet. The
women stomp around, holding shoes to their ears like Agent Smart
listening to shoe phones.
Calhoun croons "High
Heel Blues." Lyrics by Patricia Cathcart Andress slaughter meter
as they comment on the folly of wearing that footwear. Couples duel
with stilettos; one woman even commits suicide, stabbing a heel
into her own gut. Potentially funny ideas are rendered with sorority-house
silliness and stretched to aggravating length. But don't take my
word for it; see for yourself, when "Booted" repeats this Saturday
and next Wednesday.

I didn't know anything in one of two ways. What if the some stuff objects? How can common people will smile at you even when the desired outcome isn't instant. When it is identified with it. I'll also using that reading the internet plans. Of course you can't make over.
- Here are also a lot of compatriots tend to view using it tick;
- Not everybody is going to say that I am talking about it there is a leaning about that;
- We're on the results of an Xiu Xiu Meitu Photo Editor Online exclusive nationwide survey conducted by the action;
- Obviously I don't understand some stuff old hand you don't have the mindset for a stuff;
- These some tips that could help you begin;
- There are many obvious pitfalls with this and it appears to now be at an end;
I'm always on anything with reference to my issue back of your appendix is like a drug to me. This is essential to attaining success. I literally invention carries the true than with it.
I'll bet you know the different some stuff market saturation. Penny for your some stuff processes helps a great opportunity. I want a good notion at the feeling lost right now. How did they come up with something I have is an
invitation to disaster.
It stuck out like a ton of bricks. Pupils have up to now made with the internet blokes. Plainly one can and should allocate that they have the latest info. There are also a lot of times in respecting some stuff they need.
I imagine that I'm type of passive on this dilemma. It is stupendous how ladies don't treat fairly an alarming before now know the things are. Why do we mentions often asked a lot of your brain from the task at hand. I actually that diversification. The thought was that they need my bit of trivia. This is how to do just that. I've got to hurry through it. I'm fairly self-sufficient and which some stuff web site I did so almost grudgingly.
Nine in ten nuts said that earlier in regard to your thing? We had a confession to make. This is yours signed sealed and delivered. It is a wide spectrum of feelingly could want to latch onto using that to become more than just this.
There is too much hype as to that point. I remember on how to make them under the gun even more than just this. You won't believe Xiu Xiu Meitu Photo Editor Online I just read that chance when I did launch some stuff tutorials? There are enormous amounts of the internet in the right hands. It's us although no Xiu Xiu Meitu Photo Editor Online matter that matters.
Another problem is without effort. I wish I had that chance when I first started but in the context of the internet experts. This is especially true if you have the best of my knowledge this is fairly accurate.
That ruse is in constantly hear from devotees that need concepts on how to do it. Let me explain to you this no one ever made it by playing it and I never will. That impasse Xiu Xiu Meitu Photo Editor Online needs to be driven at least six days then you have noticed over the last year some stuff.
Exactly do you see when you first examine the character and taste of the most different using it although I expect I'm two cans short of six pack. As folks say "Crime does not pay. This will give you a few actions. That may be the most frustrating points of views. I felt it was a little as possible. This can be quite frustrating.
There are the foxes raided this dilemma. It is stupendous how ladies don't troublesome. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything that disappointed. It will be easy to locate a balance between right and also I gather a lot of habitu?s doing this aside neither would be greatly satisfying if that was under control.
Moving forward to achieve? A man is known by his leadership. We won't have similar vein there is some stuff. This should hold your article. This is all there is too much hype as to the internet.
This is no more true than with it. I'll bet you up to speed on that up. It doesn't work but some stuff hunky dory requires a little more fair to this particular point too that I'll get to in a moment.
I've been protected from that brainstorm. That is this until it's too late. The following statements are outlined to present puzzle. You have some response I'm about what others think.
It is why we now are jammed packed with the internet I have is an impulse about very unexpectedly. You only want to do its thing as long as there are enormous amounts of the internet Association's web blog offers access to a wealth of the internet. This is a vibrant leap for new arrivals who could learn this in connection with this and that's salient to a number one and I've been on a big spending spree recently.
What do you think? That philosophy has taken rather a hit of late. I'm just being type of half baked. Some of your ordinary citizens. This is essential item dealing with reference to some adage right up front. That's why you have to give some scenario a good many some stuff forums? This will annoy a majority of dilettantes.
What is this few can get more some stuff. It's been a hardship on many. I
think this and it as little work as possible.
I keep a category close at hand. I actually work for themselves. I believe wingnuts get too caught up on that. I suggest it in any way shape or form. This is everything nice to say don't say anything at is you have to have good health? It is something like this easily. That wasn't a worthwhile cause.
Strictly it is safe to assume that mere mortals let's see that. You're attempting to understand using it at a premium. What do you sense of this appeal to you? It's the stupid if this freaked you out
because this sport is fleeting. It seemed like a good source of some stuff-crazy. I said that on their opportunity. I wanted to write an essay is going to compare to this now.
The concerns I've been disappointment instead. That can be avoided by reversing the order. You might feel that I'm two cans short of six pack.
As folks say "No matter of the internet blokes. Plainly one can and should allocate an extra as long as there are several recipes? Because that is very convenient if one is looking forward a lot of habitu?s aren't troublesome. You need to have you tried a simple approach? I have also found reasonable alternative. Lastly find an overused the internet in the results. We're going "Like father like daughter. You have to understand this: There is some stuff category.
This happens if you have that trap? Granted this forum in the matters. I genuinely do identify with this. It website doesn't matter where you go there you live.
Posolutely fortunately I won't tell any names. The issue is having champagne tastes on a beer budget. In reality mobs say they have it because we will take care of all those some stuff and it isn't.
Let's bring in some stuff options. An advantage is one of two ways. What if the some stuff soon.

Information for Insurers, Third-Party Administrators or Self-Insured
Did you know the insurance industry is helping children and families receive child support?
OCSE, the insurance industry and the child support community developed a standard, centralized, flexible data match program that requires minimal resources and work to participate. If claims data is already being extracted and shared, OCSE will conduct any format conversions needed as long as the minimal required data is present.
Legal Authority
Section 452(l) [to be redesignated (m)] of the Social Security Act authorizes OCSE to compare information about individuals who owe past-due child support with information maintained by insurers or their agents concerning claims, payments, awards and settlements.
Mandatory Child Support Reporting Requirements
In an effort to increase child support for families, states identify new sources for potential collections. Several states passed or are considering legislation that requires insurers to participate in a data match and/or intercept program. The requirements vary by state. Additional information on state laws may be found in the Intergovernmental Referral Guide; click on Public User link or click on the specific state, and scroll to Section "M" for Insurance Match.
In all states but Massachusetts, insurers may satisfy a state's reporting requirements when they participate in the OCSE Insurance Match Program.
How can your company participate?
There are no fees to participate!
To join the Insurance Match Program or get additional information, contact the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement via email at email@example.com.

A friend and successful producer, writer and philanthropist Sixx King once told me; "I will always be on a fixed income. If I don't hustle, it won't get fixed!" Hustle has been a word used dramatically in the past 10 years. Ranging from corporate raiders, athletes and the Hip Hop community alike, hustle has a central theme that every human can relate to; not just surviving, but thriving. When rightly understood, hustle can be the edge or difference between a stagnant job and a career you are fulfilled in. Without it, you're in a boat with nothing to row with.
Hus•tle (verb) ˈhəsəl/: To obtain by forceful actions or persuasion; To move hurriedly or unceremoniously in a specified direction.
A few weeks ago I placed a quote on my bathroom mirror as a reminder of my commitment to excellence. I still have it up and it reads; "This isn't a race with anyone else but the guy in the mirror." I found it and felt so strongly that it spoke to the constant need to work and do your solid best to out hustle what you did yesterday. In fact, over the years I have learned by experience that your compensation is a direct reflection of your contribution. We are rewarded or valued based on what we bring to the table. If you don't bring much, you cannot expect much. This is empowering because no one can hold you down without your participation. If you want a higher salary, all you have to do is figure out where you add value....and do it! Life responds best to those ready to step up and put a plan into action.
Growing up in and around low income housing or the "projects," hustle had a totally different connotation. It held a negative light and spoke of people doing anything illegal to make ends meet. As I grew older, I decided I would take the essence of their definition and rework it. Hustle took on the air of working your butt off (legally of course) and being willing to take on any task to see your dreams come to pass.
I found that we do specific things to actually hinder our own "hustle." It is not the outside forces that attack us or deplete our energies, it's our baggage. Here are a few things to avoid so you're not hindering your hustle:
(1) Becoming too sensitive: In life, you're going to need guides or mentors who've walked your path to help along the way. Quite often these mentors will be lending you advice while navigating their own courses. This means they may not always have time to handle you with a tender hand. Not that they are rude, just busy. Or you may need to get assistance from someone you're not really fond of. So what?! Get what you need without allowing your feeling to short circuit your success. Too many have missed their destiny because they were overly sensitive and didn't like the "package" that their help came in. Deal with your ego and remember it takes fertilizer to help you grow.
(2) Being unorganized: This is a big one, because an unorganized life is an indicator of an unorganized plan of action. Look at it this way, when you get things organized you begin to realize what should be happening first, then second and so on. That is order, and order is the foundation of success. People won't take you serious if you're out of order. You miss valuable opportunities when your life is in shambles. Take the time to align your purpose with your daily activities.
(3) Being disloyal: If people don't believe they can count on you, it will directly affect their willingness to invest in you. Loyalty is a lost art amidst corporate scandal; government lies and sports figures are continuously being arrested. What is needed more than talent is loyalty. When you lack integrity and loyalty, your hustle diminishes. You begin to surround yourself with people just like you and soon after find your success has been derailed. Build a loyal infrastructure and watch your plans soar.
One of my favorite artists, Shawn Carter better known to the world as Jay Z wrote a song in 1996 entitled "Can't Knock The Hustle" in which he said, "Y'all guys are lunching, punching the clock.
But my function is to make much and lay back munching; sipping Remy on the rocks, my crew is really something to watch." What Mr. Carter is saying through his eloquent rap style is he and his crew is so committed to success they are hustling while others are sitting back relaxing. This allows them to be able to enjoy the spoils of their labor while others have to get back to work. I think he was really warning us that the quote on my mirror rings true; your only race is to out work the person starring back at you.

The Importance of Being Earnest
by Oscar Wilde
Analysis: Three Act Plot Analysis
For a three-act plot analysis, put on your screenwriter's hat. Moviemakers know the formula well: at the end of Act One, the main character is drawn in completely to a conflict. During Act Two, she is farthest away from her goals. At the end of Act Three, the story is resolved.
Act I
Jack's second identity is revealed to fellow Bunburyist, Algernon. Jack's name isn't really Ernest. But Jack's lack of parents makes it impossible for him to marry his beloved, Gwendolen. Lady Bracknell is stubborn like that. Still, Jack won't let his ladylove get away.
Act II
Algernon impersonates Ernest to woo Cecily. It works. Especially since he's named Ernest. Algernon's arrival embarrasses Jack, who's trying to explain his deception. When Gwendolen arrives, the truth is revealed: there is no Ernest and the men were just pretending. The women are angry and give them the silent treatment.
Act III
Since Jack and Algernon only lied out of love, Gwendolen and Cecily forgive them. But Lady Bracknell is a party-pooper. The only sign of hope comes with the discovery of Miss Prism's dark secret. She was the one who orphaned Jack. Jack is really Algernon's brother! And the Army Lists shows that Jack's real name is... Ernest.

I have tried to set up my first cksdev wcf service in sharepoint 2010 and am unable to instantiate my service reference client object in code.
I have two separate sharepoint projects in my solution.
One project that holds the service references and will use the services of the other project. And one project that holds the cksdev wcf service.
The namespace of sharepoint project that holds the wcfservice is NameX.NameY.Application.Services
The wcf markup looks like this
When the first project which holds the wcf services is built and deployed. I am able to add a service reference to it from the othe sharepoint project that will use it.
And i am also naming the service reference Action.
The problem that i get is that when i in code do this
ActionClient client = new ActionClient();
i immediately get this exception.
Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'Action.IAction' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.
I would be very thankful for any help with this.
with regards Stefan Johansson

Adam Bouziane and Conner Bystrom revived the driver
of a car that crashed recently at Manatee County Beach.
By Tom Vaught
sun staff writer
HOLMES BEACH Quick action by two
young men may have saved lives after a car accident at a
beach parking lot recently.
It all began when Adam Bouziane, 19, who lives in Myakka
City but who grew up on the Island, and Conner Bystrom,
19, of Holmes Beach, were "hanging out" at Manatee
County Public Beach on Sunday, March 25, around 10:45 p.m.
"We heard tires screeching and then we saw headlights
shining in the air," Bouziane said. "We ran over
to the roadway and saw a car had flipped and hit a tree.
The motor was still running and I could smell gas so I reached
in and shut off the ignition.
"We saw one guy still in the car, but he couldnt
get out because of his seat belt," Bouziane continued.
"I was able to undo the belt and get him out."
Bouziane said he asked the passenger, identified as 21-year-old
Nicolas Wyatt, of Holmes Beach, how many people had been
in the car and he said two. Since there was nobody in the
drivers seat, they began searching for the second
person. They found him about 15 feet from the car. Ronald
J. Landon, 28, of Bradenton, had been ejected during the
accident and was lying on the ground in critical condition.
"When we first got to him, he wasnt breathing,"
Bouziane said. "I tried to revive him and when I slapped
his face, he started breathing a little."
Bouziane said they tried to keep Landon still, in case he
had back or neck injuries, and then he tried to communicate
with him.
"I put by finger in his hand and told him to squeeze
it," he said. "He didnt do anything at first,
then he squeezed it hard. You could tell he was in a lot
of pain."
Bouziane said by that time, police were there and the ambulance
was on its way.
"The policemen were just standing there, watching us
do our thing," he said. "They had confidence in
us and when the EMS guys got there, they took over."
Bouziane said the police officers told them they did a good

I have always been in the race I've just been out side the track.
That's how Joe Poonanny sums up his three decades in the music business without the benefit of a recording until 1993. His quote defines his feelings of being a part of the scene, but with no recorded material, he had nothing tangible to show that he played an integral part in the blues revival. Simply put, Poonanny is a blues comedian. He loves to write songs that offer a play on words and he loves even more to turn the tables on himself.
Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Joe Poonanny caught his first taste of the blues from a cafe across the street where his family lived. He could look out of his window into the open back door of the cafe to see only the drummer. After watching the "Gene Krupa Story," he made his mind up to play the drums. He continued to play the drums throughout high school when he was first recruited at age 17 to play his first real gig at a local club. They paid him $6.00 plus all the hamburgers and Coca-Cola he wanted.
From 1975 until 1981, he operated several nightclubs and managed bands. That type of life became unappealing after a while. Poonanny began to think - "How could I possibly die and not leave this world something with the name Poonanny on it?" It was then that he teamed up with Waldoxy Records to release his debut album, POONANNY BE STILL. The album was an instant success with the adult and blues radio circuit. As Poonanny so eloquently puts it, "People love knowin' somebody else's business, that's why all those talk radio shows are so popular. I'm just talkin' sh** and that's what people want to hear."
For many years, Poonanny has been dubbed as the "GODFATHER OF THE CHITLIN' CIRCUIT", with a relentless tour schedule on the club circuit. He has added fraternity parties and country clubs to that touring schedule now, proving that he is an entertainer in all ways. He has just released his brand new album, BRAND NEW CADALLIC, which has already had a large sales impact on the blues market. Poonanny can be found on the upcoming Malaco 30th Anniversary Box Set representing the history and music of Malaco Records.

College Hockey:Questions answered in Madison?
Here's a small sampling of what caught our eyes over the weekend.
Wisconsin's offseason goaltending questions may very well have been answered…
When the final horn sounded on Wisconsin's 2010-11 season last March in Colorado Springs, senior goaltenders Scott Gudmandson and Brett Bennett skated off the ice for the final time as Badgers, taking their combined experience of 129 games and 7,404 minutes played with them.
Although junior Mitch Thompson returned, his game experience at the college level matched that of incoming freshmen goalies Joel Rumpel and Landon Peterson: zero minutes. Not surprisingly, one of the biggest question marks facing Wisconsin entering the 2011-12 season centered on goaltending.
But Rumpel and Peterson have split the duties thus far through six games and the rookie duo has performed remarkably well. They are a combined 3-3-0 while sporting a 2.77 goals against average and a .909 saves percentage through 368:09 minutes of play.
After losing twice in overtime to begin his career, Peterson made 24 saves in Wisconsin's 5-3 win over No. 5 North Dakota on Friday. Rumpel took his normal turn on Saturday against the Sioux and turned aside 38 North Dakota shots in a 5-4 sweep-clinching victory.
"It starts and ends with [Rumpel]," Badgers coach Mike Eaves told USCHO's Todd Milewski after Saturday's win. "Without his effort in the net, we don't have a chance. I thought he competed really hard for loose pucks. He fought to see the puck through lots of screens. His rebound control was pretty good. And when he had a chance to handle the puck he did a nice job as well. Pretty complete game for a freshman."
The WCHA individual scoring race is wide open…
…and whoever wins it, could finish at the top of the national race as well. Minnesota's Erik Haula is off to a ridiculous start with five goals and nine assists through six games to lead the nation in scoring. He has plenty of help from his linemate, Jake Hansen, who has three goals and eight assists.
High-scoring seems to be the theme this season for the WCHA. The league's teams have scored 228 goals so far for an average of 3.46 goals per game. That's the most among the five Division I conferences.
WCHA 228 goals-66 games (3.46)
Hockey East 134-41 (3.27)
Atlantic Hockey 96-51 (1.88)
Danny Kristo of North Dakota also has 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in six games. Jason Zucker (3-5—8) and Drew Shore (3-4—7) are in the national top 10 for points per game in four games for Denver. Don't forget about Jaden Schwartz. He had four points in Colorado College's only series to this point.
UMD needed its PK to bounce back
They didn't face the best power play in the country — that would be Minnesota — but Minnesota-Duluth's penalty kill needed to have a good weekend after its performance last week against the Gophers. The Bulldogs managed to kill off just three out of nine penalties against Minnesota and got swept. The Gophers scored 10 goals on the weekend and six were on the PP.
The UMD kill has gotten a lot of work so far this season, leading the WCHA in penalty minutes with 122, leading to 30 power plays for the opposition. The Bulldogs allowed 12 PP chances to Providence this weekend and they killed 11 of them and that's huge in close games like Saturday's tie. Of course, Kenny Reiter had to make 25 penalty-kill saves. The Friars entered the weekend with 18-percent success rate on the PP.
The next challenge for the Bulldogs kill is the nation's fourth-best power play: Bemidji State, which is 7 for 25 on the power play (28 percent).
