diagnostic imaging - what to expect
Our team of imaging professionals know how to care for children. We know that the tests your child may have to undergo can be frightening. Some of the machines are big and can make scary noises. Working with children is our specialty, and we know how to make you and your child comfortable for the tests required to help your child get better.
We offer full-service imaging at each hospital in the Bon Secours Richmond Health System. Children with more difficult to diagnose cases may be sent to St. Mary's Hospital for additional testing.
Convenient Location and Easy-Access Registration
For outpatient procedures, your child's physician will refer you to us for testing. For your convenience, we offer free parking, and at St. Mary's Hospital, you can take advantage of the free valet parking. The outpatient radiology registration area of each Bon Secours hospital is conveniently located in an easy-to-access, comfortable waiting area where you and your child will wait until called for testing.
Children staying in the hospital will be brought down to the imaging labs from their rooms and results will be given to the physician that has requested the testing. The physician will then explain the results to you.
Keeping Your Child Safe and Comfortable
Our specially trained pediatric radiologists , interventional radiologists, technologists, and nurses will explain the test to you in easy-to-understand terms and will talk to your child about the test in a way that will put him or her at ease. You can stay in the testing room with your child for some of the tests. For others, you may be asked to leave the testing room. But rest assured; at least one caregiver will always be with your child to see to his or her comfort and safety during the tests.
Quick Results
We send the results of your child's tests to the referring physician, who will then explain them to you. Some test results take longer than others. If your child is staying in the hospital, we do our best to get the results to your child's physician as quickly as possible.
For outpatient testing, we also try to get the results to your child's physician as soon as we can. Please understand that some tests are more complex, and it may take several days for your child's physician to contact you with the results.
Types of Diagnostic and Imaging Tests
Bon Secours offers many imaging tests for children, including:
CT Scan
Nuclear Imaging
A CT scan, short for computed tomography scan, is a safe, painless type of x-ray that takes 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional images. During a CT scan, your child will lie on a table that passes through a device shaped like a donut called a gantry. Inside the gantry, the x-ray tube moves around the patient in the area of the body being examined. Our technologists and radiologists are specially trained to work with children and can help you calm your child's fears.
If the scan will be of your child's abdomen or pelvis, your child may have to drink a thick milkshake-like liquid called barium. This drink acts like a coating in the digestive system to help those parts of the body show up more clearly on the scan. Sometimes the physician will request an additional contrast media often called x-ray dye to be injected directly into one of your child's veins. This is usually done in one of the arms. Be sure to tell your child's physician if your child has any allergies. In rare instances, some people have had allergic reactions to the contrast; however, our physicians and staff are trained and equipped for that situation and can respond appropriately.
Before a CT scan, your child's physician will instruct you to:
- Explain the exam to your child in clear, easy-to-understand words
- Tell your child that the CT scan will not hurt; it just makes a lot of noise
- Not give your infant or child any solid food (clear liquids are OK) for 4 hours before the exam if he or she will be given contrast agent
- Not give your infant or child any food or drink for 4 hours before the exam if he or she will be sedated
- Dress your child comfortably in clothing without zippers, snaps, or buckles
- Remove glasses and any barrettes or other metal clips or bands in your child's hair for a CT scan of the head
EEG is the short name of a test called electroencephalogram. An EEG is a harmless and painless test that measures and records brain waves. This test is usually done to help diagnose seizures or other neurological conditions. Sometimes it is used to test the brain when your child has a sleep disorder.
Brain cells give out a small amount of electrical activity that is recorded through electrodes, which look like little buttons with wires attached to them. For the test, your child will be asked to lie down on a table or stretcher. A technologist will mark spots on your child's head with a washable marker to show where to put the electrodes. A small amount of sticky gel will be put on the electrodes to help them stick to your child's scalp.
There may be 10 to 20 electrodes used in the test. The wires on the electrodes lead to an EEG machine that records your child's brain activity.
Movement can disturb the recordings of the brain's activity, so your child will be instructed to lie quietly during the test.
Preparing for an EEG is simple. Your child's physician may give you a set of special instructions in addition the tips below.
- Explain the test in clear, easy-to-understand terms to your child
- Wash your child's hair the night before. Do not use any hair spray, oils, gels, or mousse and do not braid your child's hair
- Bring a favorite toy or blanket to the testing room
- Bring a list with you to the exam of all medications that your child is taking. You can give your child any of his or her normal medications the night before and the day of the exam
- Do not give your child any drinks that have caffeine, such as soda, tea, or coffee
Sometimes the test measures sleeping and waking brain activity. If this is the case, keep your child awake later than his or her normal bedtime or wake your child 2 to 3 hours earlier than normal. Do not let your child nap before the test. For infants, do not let your child nap 2 to 4 hours before the exam.
An EEG takes about 1 hour. After the test, your child's scalp will be wiped clean with a wet cloth. Some of the sticky gel used to hold the electrodes in place may need to be washed out at home.

Fluoroscopy is a type of x-ray that takes moving images. It allows your child's physician to see parts of the body in real time. A conventional x-ray gives a still image like a photograph, but fluoroscopy is like watching a movie. Bon Secours offers many different types of fluoroscopy procedures that your child could have.
When your child is having a fluoroscopic exam, the technologist will instruct him or her to lie down on a table. An x-ray machine called a fluoro tower will be moved over your child, and a curtain will cover the sides. A contrast media called barium may be given to your child for the test. This contrast media may be given as a drink, infused into the rectum, injected through an existing tube (J or G tube), or injected into a stoma. As the contrast agent moves through your child's body, the fluoro tower will be positioned to follow the contrast agent. The technologist will be able to see the contrast agent moving through your child's body on a special x-ray viewing screen.
Depending on the type of test being given, your child's physician will instruct you on how to prepare your child for the test.
Back to top
Nuclear imaging uses a small amount of radioactive material to view anatomy and physiology inside your child's body. This material may be injected into a vein, infused into the bladder, or consumed (eaten or swallowed). It may be given to your child immediately before the exam or several hours before the exam. This will depend on the exam requested and the indication. The radioactive material is safe and it exits your child's body within 24 hours following the test. To perform a nuclear imaging exam, your child is asked to lie down on a table. The technologist will instruct your child to lie quietly for 30 to 60 minutes while the test is being performed. Above the table there is a special x-ray camera called a gamma camera that is used by the technologist to acquire images of the affected area of your child's body. Additional pictures are sometimes taken with the gamma camera moving in a circle around your child's body.
Usually the only pain involved in the test is the injection of the radioactive material into your child's vein. Some tests may require that a catheter, a thin flexible tube, be inserted into your child's bladder. This may be uncomfortable for your child but does not hurt.
Some children may need to be sedated for the test.
If there are any special instructions before the test, your child's physician will give them to you. You are allowed to stay with your child during the test.

An ultrasound machine uses sound waves higher than humans can hear. A device that looks like a microphone, called a transducer, sends ultrasound waves through the skin and into the body. These sound waves reflect off of structures inside the body, such as bones or tissues, and travels back toward the transducer, which connects to a computer and control panel and turns the sound waves into images. To perform the test, the technologist will rub a warm gel-like substance over the part of the body to be tested. This gel helps the sound waves move from the transducer into body and from the body back into the transducer. The technologist will then press the transducer against your child's skin in the area covered with gel in back, forth, and sometimes circular motions. Ultrasounds usually last about 30 minutes and are safe and painless.
For a kidney or ultrasound of the pelvic area for newborns to children up to 2 years old, your physician will instruct you to:
- Give your child plenty of fluids the day of exam
- Not give your child formula or food 3 hours prior to exam. Water is allowed up to exam time
- Bring a full bottle of formula or a bottle of expressed breast milk. It may be needed during the exam
- For a kidney or ultrasound of the pelvic area for children 2 years to 18 years old, your physician will instruct you to:
- Give your child plenty of fluids the day of the exam
- Not allow your child to urinate for at least 1 hour before the study so that the bladder will be full, if your child is toilet trained
For ultrasounds of the abdomen, head, or hip for newborns to children up to 2 years old, no food or drink is allowed 3 hours before the ultrasound. For infants, please bring a full bottle of formula or expressed breast milk. For children 2 years to 18 years old , do not give your child any food or drink 6 hours before the exam.

X-rays use electromagnetic radiation to take black and white pictures of your child's bones, organs, and blood vessels. X-rays are usually performed by a trained radiology technologist and then read by a radiologist. A radiologist is a doctor who has specialized in non-invasive diagnosis. The results from the x-ray are shared with your child's doctor. X-rays are painless and are very safe for your child.
X-rays are most often used to take pictures of broken or fractured bones, but are useful for diagnosing other problems as well. A chest x-ray can be taken to show lung problems, such as pneumonia or fluid in the lungs. Chest x-rays can also be taken to diagnose heart problems such as an enlarged heart or fluid around the heart.
To take x-ray images, a large machine sends a wave of electrons into the area of the body that your child's doctor wants to see. This energy passes through body tissue and is transferred onto a receiving plate and then to a sheet of special film. When this plate is processed, it looks like a photographic negative. On the picture, the bones show up as bright (whitish), well-defined structures. Because organ tissue and muscle mass absorb less energy, they show up as darker (grayer or blacker), more shadowy objects on the picture. Abnormalities such as a broken bone will absorb the energy differently, and therefore often can be identified on the film.
To have an x-ray taken, your child will be asked to put on a lead-lined x-ray gown or apron (x-rays cannot penetrate lead). The apron is used to protect your child's reproductive organs. Depending on the area to be x-rayed, he or she may be allowed to stay dressed in street clothes. Your child will then be asked to either stand in front of or lie down on a table under the x-ray machine. During the time the x-rays are taken, the technologist will ask your child to hold very still. If your child is very young, the technologist may use straps, special pillows, or sandbags to keep your child from moving. It is very important that your child remain still during these images so the radiologist and your physician can get a clear image.
You may be allowed to stay in the room with your child while he or she is being x-rayed. You may also be asked to wear a lead-lined gown. Pregnant women are not allowed to stay in the x-ray room during the test.

When your cat has an accident, it can be a challenge to remove the smell of urine from hardwood flooring. This is a guide about cleaning cat urine smell on hardwood floors.
I have laminate flooring in 2 rooms, hardwood floor in one, and rubber tile flooring in 2 rooms. We are smelling cat urine as soon as we come in the house, but can't find the exact location of the where she did it. So I need some advice as to what to use on each of these floorings since this is going to be a whole house with the exception of the bedrooms where there is no odor. I will appreciate all suggestions and thank you.
By slg
Buy or borrow a black light to find where kitty left urine. Cat urine fluoresces under the light. Use a Product called Nature's Miracle to clean and deodorize.
Now you need to determine if kitty just had a accident or is actively potting in the wrong places. If it's the latter, you need to put the litter box where the cat is wetting. Then gradually move it where you want it. Some cats are really finicky about the box being clean too.
If you have a male cat, they may spray even they are neutered. To stop this, identify the places and clean with Nature's Miracle then spray with pheromones which calm the cat. A good pet shop will help you find the right product. Good Luck, kitty deserves your help being the kitty you want in your house.
I have discovered dark patches on the wooden floor where my cat has previously peed and it has dried in. I am not too bothered about the stain it has made as it will be covered by a new rug. I will have to throw away the old rug which is shaggy pile and replace it, but I need to get rid of the smell. The floor is teak. Any ideas please?

It's becoming increasing clear that we are in a time of non demonic religious horror. After watching a film like Holy Ghost People more films of that caliber have surfaced. The idea is plain and simple. That there are still other ways of thought on religion dwelling in the backwoods of the American culture. So luckily I was able to speak with the director of Holy Ghost People Mitchell Altieri on the film and why this trend of movies is currently on the forefront.
Where did the original idea for Holy Ghost People come from and have you ever witnessed a real life snake healer?
I've wanted to do a thriller for sometime now. Something different from my other horror films, but still working with a dark and frightening subject matter…. I had this idea of a girl trying to track down her missing sister and placing it at a snake handling church up in the Appalachians Mountains. But at that particular time Phil Flores (the other Butcher Brother) and I were leaving for London to shoot the sequel to THE HAMILTONS, THE THOMPSONS. I wanted to do another film with Joe Egender (Brother Billy) so I pitched him the idea and he and his writing partner Kevin Artigue wrote the script based on the concept. Once Phil and I returned from the UK we jumped back in towards the end.
The character Brother Billy seemed to come from a long line of snake healers, do you feel it was important to show the glimpses of how long the practices have been in existence?
Absolutely. For Brother Billy it's all he's ever known. I felt like it was really important to show flashes of the fact that this religion has been around for quite some time… as well as outlawed. And that played a big part in Brother Billy's character. A man who people follow, a man who believes he saves souls, but is also an instant outlaw just by practicing his own religion. He has swagger, his followers love him, and he's caring… yet you don't ever cross him.
Did you guys use any footage from the famous documentary Holy Ghost People from the 60's?
Peter Adair's film is amazing and was a huge influence on me. Besides the fact that he was an SF filmmaker (both Phil and I are SF filmmakers as well), his film is beyond beautifully haunting. It was a perfect piece to show the history of the religion. Peter Adair and his work have been a great inspiration to this project.
What is it about the human psyche that would draw them into such a dangerous practice of their faith?
I believe faith itself. I have never been part or practiced Pentecostal snake handling but I can only imagine it must give you such a rush, a fearlessness that is beyond words. I think the more intense your practices are, the more intense your faith becomes in your mind. I do admire these folks for that.
Joe Egender really seems to flourish in the roles of your movies. What about him makes it easy for you to cast him in your films?
Joe and I have been working together for quite some time now (five films together) and I think that we just understand each other. I know what he is looking for and he knows my style… that makes it real simple. I can depend on him for so much more than just the bringing the role itself to life. He works with the other actors, has great ideas and suggestions… And we have an amazing shorthand where we can communicate by looks and quick hand motions. That's gold for any director.
Do you feel your film will make movie watchers seek out more information on this type of practice?
I hope so just based on how wild and wonderful it is. You'll see the church service scenes in the movie, which were just so intense to shoot with the snakes and the extras… I think for people who don't know much about it, it might get their curiosity a flowin'.
Why do you feel it was important to make Billy hold off on telling the truth to Charlotte about her sister and how could that have changed this film?
The film is ultimately about three very broken people, Charlotte, Wayne, and Billy. Three people who are blinded by their own guilt regardless how it came to be… drug use, the war, or power misused in the church. These three people spend the movie feeling and figuring each other out. I think they are also extremely curiosity about one another. And Billy is no dummy, he needs to hook them in…. he wants to hook them in. He is confident but he also knows that the outside world's laws are mighty different. As much as Charlotte and Wayne are looking to heal, for salvation, I believe Billy is also looking for sometime… maybe he knows he needs more salvation than anyone else.
How did the cast handle the lives snakes and what challenges did you face?
I get this question a lot… and it was easily one of the hardest things to deal with on set. No one wanted to handle the snakes. Almost everyone was deathly afraid of them including myself. I was fortunate that most of those scenes I got to hide in video village (that's where all the monitors and sound gear lives) because there were so many extras and crew members running around, we needed to hide people. But we had an excellent snake wrangler, Jules Sylvester (Snakes On A Plane, City Slickers) and after a few hours with everyone he really put everyone at ease.
I was really pleased by the performance of Cameron Richardson as Sister Shelia how do you feel she did with her role in Holy Ghost People?
She is great. I cannot say enough good things about her. The funny thing is we weren't necessarily looking for someone as young and attractive as Cameron but when we met with her, she started singing gospel songs and had experience herself with southern religion. We knew she was Shelia right there. And her beauty contrasted with her scars really brought it home with such a powerful performance.
Holy Ghost People is not your typical religious thriller how do you think it will hold in the supernatural based, possession laden, CG religious horror world?
I think it's just a different film and doesn't really quite belong in that world. There are a lot of great religious horror films out there but we really set out to make a Southern Gothic thriller. Yes the film is dark and violent at times and we were interested in taking a disturbing tone like True Detective or Killer Joe mixed with Winters Bone.
Holy Ghost People is currently playing on demand and in limited theaters. Read my review for Holy Ghost People here. Holy Ghost People is directed by Mitchell Altieri and stars Emma Greenwell, Brendan McCarthy, Joe Egender, and Cameron Richardson. It is being distributed courtesy of Xlrator Media.

Wow, your National Cruise Examiner can't wait to hit the new hip, super cool-looking nightclub set atop Princess Cruises Regal Princess when the ship makes her Caribbean season debut in November 2014. Everybody enjoys being outdoors on cruise ships, especially on balmy nights, but often all the evening entertainment is enclosed. But not at the Night Sky Lounge which is actually a the top-deck Retreat Pool by day and a pulsating place to sip cocktails and listen to music at night.
Think South Beach There will be a DJ spinning songs, a dance floor and cabanas that can be reserved for private tippling sessions complete with bottle service like landside lounges. There will also be a small fee to enter the club.
"The Retreat Pool aboard Regal Princess is such an inviting space, and so transforming it into a cool lounge that offers an entirely new evening experience will be sure to delight our guests," said Jan Swartz, president of Princess Cruises. "We think the lounge's great location, beautiful lighting, specialty cocktails and music will be a winning entertainment experience."
Regal Princess sets sail on her Caribbean cruise season on November 6, 2014 with a short preview sailing (which this Examiner expects to attend and report on), followed by a schedule of seven-day cruises to ports in the Eastern Caribbean including St. Thomas, St. Maarten and Princess Cays in the Bahamas.

Funds which the Hope Tourism Board discussed at its last meeting are being put to use at the Kelly Fields baseball complex adjacent to Hope Fair Park. Park employees Kirk Gray and Robin Lee have begun the work by tearing off each dugout roof at the baseball complex. The roof consisted of tongue and groove type wood. Extensive renovations at Kelly Fields are in the works and the roofs of most of the dugouts will be replaced with netting, as will the chain-link fences that are there at the present time. Several of the roofs were built in the 1970s using plywood and need to be replaced. The concession stand will also get a facelift, according to Ronald Kidd, maintenance supervisor for the park. Tearing down the roofs will last about six weeks, weather permitting. Many improvements have been made to Kelly Fields since it was constructed in the 1970s.

Tomlinson's Game-Winning Hit Lifts Tech Over Iowa, 9-7
March 11, 2011
Box Score | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery
LUBBOCK, Texas - Junior shortstop Kelby Tomlinson went 3-for-4 and drove in the game-winning runs with a two-out, two RBI single to right field in the eighth inning to give Texas Tech a 9-7 victory over Iowa on Friday night at Dan Law Field.
Texas Tech (9-5) snapped a four-game losing streak with the win and Iowa drops to 4-6 overall following the first game of the Texas Tech Invitational. The contest marked the first-ever meeting between Texas Tech and Iowa.
The Hawkeyes tied the game at seven with a four-run frame in the top of the eighth inning. Tomlinson and Tech answered in the bottom half of the eighth after third baseman Reid Redman started the rally with a double to left and Barrett Barnes reached with a hit-by-pitch.
Jamodrick McGruder extended the inning with a full-count walk before Tomlinson lined a single to the opposite field to score Redman and Barnes to break the tie and give Tech the lead for good.
John Neely (2-0) pitched a perfect 1-2-3 ninth inning to cap off his second win in relief this season. Red Raider starting pitcher Daniel Coulombe left after six innings with a 6-3 lead, but did not factor in the decision. Coulombe struck out six and walked one while allowing three runs on nine hits in his fourth start of the season.
Hawkeyes reliever Zach Kenyon (1-1) took the loss pitching 1.2 innings, allowing three runs on three hits with one walk and two strikeouts.
Center fielder Trevor Willis led Iowa at the plate going 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBI.
McGruder went 3-for-4 and Barnes matched his career-high with three runs going 1-for-3. Sophomore catcher Bo Altobelli went 2-for-4 and Redman went 2-for-4 for the Red Raiders.
In addition, all nine Tech starters tallied at least one base hit in the game for the second time this season.
Redshirt freshman Duke von Schamann went 1-for-4, but his one hit - the first base hit of his career - was a solo home run over the left-center field wall to lead off the bottom of the second inning for Tech's fifth homer this season.
The Red Raiders will continue play at the Texas Tech Invitational on Saturday with two games, starting at noon against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (10-5) and with the second game against the Hawkeyes at 4 p.m.

Roads to wealth
Incorporated in 1887 as a Texas & Pacific Railway stop between Dallas and Shreveport, La., Mesquite's 15 minutes from downtown Dallas at the intersection of five highways. Photo (R) and map: City of Mesquite
Built in 1939 by the Works Progress Administration, the old Tripp Road and bridge was a safety hazard. The city eliminated the steep drainage ditches with an underground storm sewer system. Photo: City of Mesquite
Twenty-eight of the 105 Contech Construction Products Inc. Conspan Bridge System arches had to match the 11.4-degree angle of the road to the stream. The skew's so severe that the end segments are partial arches supported by adjacent arches or the precast headwall. Photo: Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc.
The road and bridge carry the same number of vehicles — 8,000/day — as before, but traffic flows much more smoothly. Engineering fees were $457,000 and construction, virtually all of it paid for by the sales tax-funded Mesquite Quality of Life Corp., was $9.4 million. Photo: City of Mesquite
From left: City Engineer Matt Holzapfel (email@example.com), PE; Public Works Director Tim Tumulty (email@example.com), PE; and Economic Development Manager Tom Palmer (email@example.com). Photo: City of Mesquite
Mesquite's partnership with the state produced whimsical design flourishes like this on 22,000 square feet of new sound wall. Photo: City of Mesquite
Bridge spans were extended to accommodate additional lanes below. HNTB rejected an alternative bridge section that would've deepened the roadway cut, increased retaining wall height, and lengthened the connection back to the road.

In 1996, a broker promised to develop 60 acres if Mesquite built an exit ramp from the state highway to the parcel.
He wouldn't take no for an answer. Mesquite's Economic Development Manager Tom Palmer found out the state's plan to add capacity on 37 miles of highway — the Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway — that loops around Dallas-Fort Worth included just such a ramp. He wanted Texas DOT (TxDOT) to make a two-mile stretch that included the ramp first rather than third phase of reconstruction.
To sweeten the proposal, he offered to partially fund the $50 million project and manage the design. This may be the first time a local government offered to help fund a state project, and it's a tactic other city and county infrastructure managers are mimicking. He credits TxDOT Project Manager Matt McGregor for coming up with another trendsetting suggestion, this one designed to eliminate delays once construction began: include finalized franchise utility relocation designs in bid documents.
The strategies worked.

Dear Mayor Monaco,
I wasn't sure who to send this letter to, so I thought you could get it to the right people in the right departments. Thank you
To all those involved in the Tripp Road Project:
Sorry it has taken me so long to tell you what a wonderful job you all have done on Tripp Road. We have waited for the widening of Tripp Road for so long, but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would live on such a beautiful new street!
I always thought it would just be a normal widening, but look how much thought and planning went into this project!!! Thank you for making the beautiful bridge and the whole everything at Tripp & Beltline!!! It is so beautiful and we are so proud!! Thank you for the lights along the way that stay with the theme all along the street!!
Thank you for the stonework that is just beautiful everywhere!!
Thanks for trimming the trees along the road, the new sidewalks, and the new grass.
Thanks for the lady who came to talk to us at the beginning who was so nice, and we were the first to get the pictures of what it was going to look like!
Thanks to the workers who were so nice and tried so hard to stay out of our way even when it was impossible. They always smiled or waved back and took care of any inconveniences they could.
I know a lot of people worked on this project from start to finish and I want so much to let them all know how proud we are of our new street! Thank you so much!
Sincerely, Merry Johnsey
Reprinted with permission from the City of Mesquite, Texas
The Mesquite Quality of Life Corp., which is funded by a half-cent sales tax, met the city's $9 million financial commitment; and was reimbursed with monies from a tax increment financing zone created for the area to be developed.
Public works then directed the Plano office of design-engineering firm HNTB to make good on the second endeavor, which in turn subcontracted Cobb, Fendley & Associates Inc. in Dallas as utility liaison. Over the next year the firm hammered out the details, including a promise to require the general contractor (ultimately McCarthy Building Companies Inc.) to subcontract relocations to a company approved by each utility. This assured gas, electric, and communications managers their assets would be handled by contractors with which they had a working relationship.
Though the tactic added about a year to the design phase, Tumulty estimates it cut 12 to 24 months from the overall project schedule.
The ramp that prompted all these machinations opened in 2006, providing 1 million square feet of retail and restaurant establishments. But the job wasn't finished yet. Tumulty and his team continued coordinating local improvements with the state's plan to add two freeway lanes.
To accommodate the increase from eight to 10 lanes, two bridges were widened and given U-turn lanes to improve clearances. An access ramp was built and two ramps rebuilt. A section of frontage road expands access to the retail and restaurant centers. A boulevard was widened to improve capacity and alignment.
Like Tripp Road and bridge, the number of vehicles — 170,000 — passing through the area hasn't changed. But traffic's circulating much more efficiently. In total, the project involved:
Public works also got a traffic control center of its own and intelligent elements, such as CCTV and associated camera assembly, that it shares with the state DOT's regional office in Mesquite.
Palmer expects Mesquite's investment to pay off within 10 years through taxes on new property and higher values of existing properties. But his analysis doesn't include sales taxes, so the city could break even sooner.

El Salvadoran student credits son for inspiring his college career
Zamora, the youngest of 17, is the first to finish high school, attend college
KENTFIELD, Calif., May 19, 2009—On the long journey from an impoverished life in El Salvador to his graduation from College of Marin and transfer this fall to UC Berkeley, no one has inspired Jose Zamora to excel as much as his son.
"I give credit to my son," Zamora said. "He's the one who pushed me to come back to school and I didn't hesitate. It was one week after the semester started in the fall of 2007."
Zamora, 38, the 17th child of a single mother in El Salvador, will be pursuing a bachelor's degree in landscape architecture. He plans to eventually become a teacher. Coincidentally, his son, Javier, who encouraged him to return to college after a long hiatus, will also be studying at UCB, majoring in Latin American Studies and English.
"This is the American story," said Hank Fearnley, a COM Political Science professor. "There's no stopping him. He could do well beyond that if wanted to. He has the drive. He has the motivation and he has the intellect. This is something we have to celebrate."
In El Salvador, the options were not as bright. Zamora's mother worked in the fields for many years as did the children. Zamora had a proficiency in math and tutored other students. He worked as a bookkeeper. Before graduating from high school, he was married with a son and working as an accountant in San Luis La Herradura, a city in central El Salvador. He was the first in his family to graduate high school, but, even a full-time job earned him only $55 per week.
"I was still going to school and making my life even more miserable trying to support two families," he recalled. "I faced the reality and decided to leave the country."
It took him six months to get to the U.S. but in 1992, he landed in Los Angeles where a sister lived and began working long hours in construction and sending money home. He received a work permit and eventually moved to San Rafael to live with a sister where he continued to work 14- and 16-hour days.
"I had a dictionary in my pocket all the time so I could practice some English," he said.
In 1994, Zamora knew he wanted to go to college but his boss only laughed at his request for shorter hours and insulted him. The experience, however, turned into a blessing. "He basically treated me as ignorant so I quit and took the challenge. It just opened my eyes."
And, doors opened. Zamora met a landscape architect who helped him learn the trade and encouraged him to enroll in College of Marin. In the spring of 1995, Zamora began intermediate ESL classes after his long work day and eventually began studying environmental landscaping. He continued school until his family moved to town and he felt new responsibilities such as re-establishing his relationship with his young son who was struggling in school.
"I told him at some point I wanted to go to school but my first priority was him," Zamora said. "I wanted to make sure he went to college and after that I would focus on my life." Zamora began coaching his son's soccer teams.
"He likes soccer and I love soccer so I used that as a bridge to get closer to him," Zamora said.
Javier earned a soccer scholarship to a local private school and Zamora was soon working as assistant coach on the school team. In the fall of 2007, when Javier was a senior, he told his dad it was time for him to go back to College of Marin.
Walter Turner, Professor of Social Sciences and Contemporary African Affairs, remembered Zamora as one of his most questioning students," Turner said. "You could see he'd gone over his work two, three, four times to make sure it was as close to perfect as possible. I was blessed he was in my class and I got to play a role with him."
The following year, Zamora earned an associate in science degree in Environmental Landscaping and Design and another door opened. By chance, he met a transfer counselor from UC Berkeley, who prodded him into considering transferring to UCB. Until then, Zamora had planned his education class by class, focusing on learning more about landscaping rather than earning a degree.
"I told him I didn't think I had a shot, but he encouraged me to apply."
Zamora was one of two students selected this year for the Phi Theta Kappa All-California Academic Team, an honor based on his exceptional academic rigor and grade point averages; participation in honors programs; awards, honors, and recognition for academic achievement; and service to the college and community.
He works independently as a landscaper while finishing up his classes including a concurrent environmental design course at UCB. Zamora, who has received scholarships from the College of Marin Foundation, will receive an associate in arts degree in May.
"I never dreamed of that to be honest with you," Zamora said. "In the last two years, ever since I came back to College of Marin, I felt like more doors opened for me. Everyone has been supportive, beginning from the staff to all of the teachers. All they've done is encourage me to stay in school.
"That's the main reason I want to become a teacher," Zamora said. "Their passion for teaching is not just about knowledge. You have to love your students and love your subject to me they stand up beyond everyone else. That's the kind of teacher I want to be."
COM's 82nd Commencement will take place on Saturday, May 23, at 10 a.m. in the Harlan Center Quad Area, 835 College Ave., Kentfield, CA. Of the approximately 323 students receiving degrees and certificates this year, about 120 students will participate in the formal ceremony. The youngest graduate is a student from San Rafael who is 14 and the oldest is James Coyle of Mill Valley who is 69 years old. The total number of associate in arts degrees conferred is 183, the total number of associate in science degrees is 94, and the total number of certificates is 46.

The first salaries were paid in salt. How would you feel getting paid in salt instead of money?
Wonder what I'm talking about? Let me explain …
Today, it seems crazy to pay someone in salt. But what if I told you that salt is very closely related to the word "salary"? It's true. In Latin, the word "sal," means salt, which was a widely used and extremely valuable food preservative in Ancient Rome - remember, this is before they had refrigerators. It was so valuable that wars were fought over it, and Roman soldiers were actually paid for their duties in salt.
Over time the system changed, and soldiers were instead given a "salarium," which meant an allowance for buying salt. The word took on a more general meaning of "regular, fixed payment for work done" and evolved into the Anglo-French word "salarie" in the late 13th century. Eventually, this turned into the English word "salary."
Today, we still use many expressions that don't really make sense unless you understand how valuable salt was in the Ancient world. Can you think of any? How about "worth your salt"… or "salt of the earth"?
For your homework, is there anything that has so much value that you would accept it for payment instead of a salary? If so, let me know what it is!
The first salaries were paid in salt. How would you feel getting paid in salt instead of money?
The word "investment" really does apply to the fabulous designer outfit your friend bought.
Have money on your mind? Ever wonder where the word dollar comes from?
"Asset" got its start as a legal term, meaning enough physical property to cover any debts.
A sum of money? Torture devices? Learn the theories behind the first stock market.
From Ponzi schemes to email scams, fraud takes many forms these days. But how did it start?

I have travelled for many years and i got asked many times why i never wrote down a single trip, so that i could share it with friends and family.
So we decided to give it a try with a travel blog when in South America. Then I use the material from the blog together with my photos to make this book.
This book is written from our point of view, how i felt and experienced the different places and people along the way.
It's documenting Peru, Ecuador and Colombia.. on a shoestring.. more or less.
Myself im working on a Super yacht. In my profession and for fun i travel. Its my passion in life And i use the camera as a tool to keep a visual diary of my life.

From the land "down under" in a place called Adelaide, Australia, comes the world's very first solar-powered electric bus. While it would seem to be a magical place or at least one of surrealist fantasy, this small city is just a corner of the world with some caring and clear-headed thinkers concerned with the ecological future of their land and the world. Created by a New Zealand company named Designline International, the Tindo bus is not only powered 100% by solar energy, (from a BP Solar-sourced photovoltaic station), it also offers its 42 lucky passengers the ride for free!
It got its name, Tindo, from the word for sun in the Kaurnian language, a native people of the Adelaide Australia area. The bus is unique and features high quality, state-of-the-art components sourced from some of the world's leading transport and technology companies including MAN and Siemens. The bus doesn't have a combustion engine, which makes it a very quiet, zero emissions vehicle.
According to the Adelaide City Council"
"The solar electric bus and the recharging system at the Adelaide Central Bus Station represent a significant investment into a sustainable future for the City of Adelaide, while providing leadership in public transport options for cities around Australia."
Wouldn't you LOVE to go for a ride on this very special bus?

6/14/2012—In just a few short weeks, Lexus' IS F CCS-R racecar will enter the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, a grueling competition where drivers power up to the summit of Pikes Peak through more than 150 tight, steep turns, gaining nearly 5,000 feet of elevation along the way.
It's no race for timid drivers, which is why we wanted to get to know the talented man behind the wheel for Lexus—pro-drifter Ken Gushi—who was more than happy to tell Lexus Enthusiast editor Kevin Watts what it takes to tackle this mountain:
You're no stranger to the Pikes Peak Hill Climb—back in 2007 you had quite an adventure.
Yes, it was my first Pikes Peak experience, and my dad was the co-driver. We competed in the Open class, and qualified third in the class. We were pretty excited to take on the hill, but on race day, about three miles into the climb, we miscalculated Engineer's Corner at about 90 miles an hour and flew off the mountain.
You came out of that unharmed?
A few sore muscles, but relatively unharmed. It was still low enough in elevation that the drop-off wasn't too intense.
You were the youngest driver ever in the D1 Grand Prix in Japan and the Formula Drift Championship in the USA—could you share some of your racing history?
My father taught me the basics of car control when I was 13.
Nothing like starting early...
Initially, the plan was to pursue a career in rally racing, but it was expensive. At the time, drifting was the new thing, so we started competing in the local drifting events in the L.A. region—just small scale private events where a bunch of locals would come out and practice. When I was about fifteen, I entered my first actual competition and finished in the top three. That's when I figured we could make something out of this, so my dad invested the money to build me a better drift car. In 2005, I was picked up for my first major sponsorship deal.
So then, how did this opportunity to race the Lexus IS F CCS-R come about?
When I was first approached, I didn't know any details at the time, but I said that I would definitely love to do it—I wanted to tackle the mountain again after not finishing last time. I was told that Lexus wanted to use a drift driver to pilot the IS F CCS-R that was on its way from Japan, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity.
Do you have a co-driver this time?
No, my plan is to go up a week before the race and do as many reconnaissance laps as I can. I want to memorize the road this time—the course has 156 corners, so I'll be spending a lot of time driving.
I know you had some practice runs this past weekend—what do you think about the car so far?
The car is really fun to drive—and you can definitely feel that some weight has been shaved off the stock IS F. The IS F CCS-R has more than 400 horsepower, but up the mountain in those high elevations, a driver can lose a lot of horsepower in the higher rpm range.
How are you going to compensate for that?
We're discussing the option of installing an air fuel controller to pull out some more horsepower, and maybe messing around with the gearing on the transmission.
What are some of the other differences in the IS F CCS-R racecar?
The CCS-R of course feels like a racecar. The interior's gutted with the roll cage and race instrument cluster, the exhaust note is completely different, and the seat position is different. But the interesting thing is that you can really see how much engineering work comes from the stock IS F—the shift feel, the power.
Final question—what are your expectations for the race?
We're competing in the exhibition class, and I can say we're pretty confident that we'll be first in our class.
That's exactly the thing we all like to hear, best of luck to you in the race!
Thanks! The car feels great—I'm sure we'll have a good time on the mountain.
