Deadline now July 18 to apply for scholarships for graduate health information tech program offered via NETnet, UTHSCT
Thursday, July 7, 2011Scholarships of up to $10,000 each are still available for qualified students accepted into a graduate training program in health information management technology being offered through the Northeast Texas Consortium of Colleges and Universities (NETnet) and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler.
The one-year program is being run by Texas State University, which has contracted with UTHSCT through NETnet to provide access via teleconferencing to the program for about 20 Northeast Texas students, said Mickey Slimp, the project's local director. This is the second year that the program has been offered.
Called the Professional University Resources and Education for Health Information Technology (PURE HIT), the project is funded by a $5.4 million federal grant divided among academic institutions throughout Texas, said Texas State project director Susan H. Fenton. The Department of Health and Human Services Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology awarded the grant to Texas State University.
To be eligible for the PURE HIT grant, completed applications must be at Texas State by Monday, July 18, 2011. For more information, please contact Catherine Hardin of Texas State at (512) 245-4418.
Students in the program take courses on the UTHSCT campus, with instructors at Texas State University teaching classes via videoconferencing, said Dr. Slimp, executive director of NETnet and the East Texas Interactive Health Network, a partnership of area health providers from Livingston to Mount Pleasant.
Students who meet the grant and admission requirements will have up to $10,000 of their tuition and fees paid if they complete five courses within one academic year. Students meet on the UTHSCT campus for the evening classes up to two nights each week.
At the end of the program, participants will have a certificate in advanced studies of health information management. They will be qualified to serve as health information management specialists or health information exchange specialists, health care programmers, or software engineers.
Applicants must have a bachelor's degree. Texas State will determine applicants' eligibility for the training program, which is seeking applicants with experience in computer science, medical information, hospital administration, and biotechnology.
Dr. Slimp urged anyone who is interested to apply as soon as possible, because scholarships are limited and will be awarded to qualified applicants on a first-come, first-served basis. Classes start the last week of August.
To apply, visit http://pure-hit.health.txstate.edu/ for more information and an online application. Or go directly to the application at:
http://pure-hit.health.txstate.edu/Pure-Hit-Grant-Funds-Application.html. Please contact Ms. Hardin to ensure that your application is processed correctly and to note that you will be participating through The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler.
For more than 60 years, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler has provided excellent patient care and cutting-edge treatment, specializing in pulmonary disease, cancer, heart disease, primary care, and the disciplines that support them. UTHSCT's annual operating budget of $125 million represents a major economic impact of over $287 million to the Northeast Texas region. In FY 2010, scientists in the Center for Biomedical Research were awarded 75 competitive grants and contracts totaling more than $14 million. As the academic health science center for Northeast Texas, its graduate medical education program – with residencies in family medicine and occupational medicine – provide doctors for many communities throughout the region and beyond.

Media Accessibility Consultation
Technology has transformed teaching and learning in the 21st century in ways that often benefit students with disabilities, by giving them more options to access information independently and participate interactively. However, media and new technology can also pose unique challenges for people with disabilities, who may require accommodation in order to fully perceive and understand the material. In the fast paced information age, it's important to balance the educational goals of incorporating dynamic and evolving media resources with the needs of students with disabilities.
AR offers Media Accessibility Consultation to Professors and Instructors who would like to incorporate media and technology into their course materials. Please contact us to schedule a meeting.
AR is available to consult with Faculty on accessibility issues including:
- Captioning and Transcription of video and audio materials for the Deaf
- Classroom audio and video recording technologies
- Creating accessible online materials and web pages
- Problem solving for inaccessible course software or hardware
- Best practices for incorporating clickers in the classroom
- Described Media for Blind and low vision students
- Any other concerns or questions about media accessibility
Planning Ahead for Accessibility
Faculty are encouraged to consider accessibility issues when designing their courses and selecting media resources even if there are no known students with disabilities enrolled, since this will help Professors and Instructors to be "ahead of the curve" if and when a student who requires accommodation does enroll. Some accommodations may take a good deal of time to implement, so planning ahead is recommended.
Likewise, evidence shows that some accessibility measures like captions may benefit all learners , including ESL students and students with learning disabilities, incorporating the principles of Universal Design for learning to improve outcomes for everyone in the course.

(Originally published in The Business Journal)
One of a small business owner's worst nightmares is discovering that one of his employees has been stealing from the company.
The initial steps taken to address such a situation are strongly indicative of the results one can expect.
Initially, the employer should take one of these three actions:
Further, documentary evidence of the theft or dishonesty should be gathered. And if the amounts involved are substantial enough, the employer should discharge the employee with a clear written explanation to that employee of exactly why he is being fired.
The explanation of the cause of the discharge will assist the employer in defending against an unemployment compensation claim that employee may file later.
Additionally, the discharge letter should not be sent to anyone else but the employee, nor copied to anyone else but only placed in the employee's personnel file. This will help avoid the possibility of the employee filing suit against the employer for defamation of character.
The next step, if the amount involved in the employee theft/dishonesty is substantial enough, is to have a forensic audit performed and to make a full and complete report to the local police department and provide all supporting documentation to the police investigator.
All statements to the police should be truthful, accurate and not exaggerated. When the employee is later interviewed by the police, it is likely that the employee will have an entirely different version of the events. The employee could even make counter-accusations against the employer of dishonesty or complicity in the employee's theft or dishonesty.
The employer and representatives of the employer should avoid providing sworn statements to the police, or providing sworn statements in an audio recorded interview to the police if possible.
In the event audio or video recordings of the employee theft exist, copies should be given to the police department along with the police report, and the original should be kept in a safe place with as few people as possible having access to the originals. This will later assist a prosecutor in using the video or audio evidence, and proving in court that it has not been tampered with after the original event.
If an employer takes these few initial steps, the police will likely take the investigation from there and minimize the disruption of the continuation of business.
If the amount involved in the employee theft is substantial enough, the small business owner should consult an attorney as soon as possible to decide whether a civil suit against the former employee for return of the embezzled or stolen funds or property, is appropriate.
Only the small business owner can decide whether the amounts involved are substantial enough to warrant the investment of time, energy and money in a civil suit for recovery.
McGee can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or at (330) 392-1541.

Brian's exclusive forecast for Baltimore, Annapolis, and northern Delmarva:
Today: Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of rain showers. The high will be near 40.
Tonight: Mostly cloudy with occasional rain showers. The low will be in the mid 30s.
Saturday: Cloudy early, then more sunshine during the afternoon. The high will be in the lower 50s.
Saturday Night: Mostly clear with a low in the mid 30s.
Sunday: Mostly sunny with a high in the lower 50s.
The extended forecast calls for a sunny sky on Monday with a low in the upper 30s and a high in the lower 60s (except mid to upper 50s near the bay shore.) Mostly sunny on Tuesday with a low around 40 and a high around 60 (except mid 50s near the bay shore.) Mostly cloudy with rain showers on Wednesday. The low will be in the lower 40s and the high will be in the upper 40s. Clouds and sun on Thursday with a low in the mid 30s and a high in the mid 40s.
A Winter Weather Advisory that had been in effect for the western shore of Maryland has been discontinued. Precipitation to our south was not able to move northward due to cold, dry air that had become firmly entrenched across the region. Snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain continues to the southwest in the mountains of North Carolina and southwest Virginia. Precipitation will eventually move to the northeast and may fall in the form of rain showers in the Annapolis area from this afternoon through the overnight hours. However, most of the precipitation will fall to the south and east. As we move into the weekend, a milder weather pattern will become established in the Middle Atlantic region. The period from Saturday afternoon through Tuesday will feature increasing sunshine and moderating temperatures. Highs will rise from the lower 50s on Saturday and Sunday to the lower 60s on Monday and Tuesday. Areas near and along the bay shore may be cooler due to the still-cold Chesapeake Bay waters. Overnight thermometer readings may stay above freezing for several days. In the long-range, computer forecast models continue to indicate the potential for colder and stormier weather later next week. At the moment, the models are not in consistent agreement on the system. Whatever ultimately develops will likely fall in the form of mixed precipitation or rain, as an all-snow scenario appears very unlikely at this time.
On the Maryland portion of Chesapeake Bay, a Small Craft Advisory is in effect through late tonight. Winds today will come out of the northeast at 10 to 20 knots with gusts over 25 knots and waves from 1to 3 feet. Winds tonight will come out of the north at 10 to 20 knots with gusts over 25 knots and waves from 1 to 3 feet. Visibility may be reduced in rain and fog. Winds on Saturday will come out of the west at 10 knots with waves around one foot. Winds on Saturday night will come out of the northwest at 10 knots or less and waves less than one foot. Winds on Sunday will come out of the north at 10 knots with waves around one foot. Marine information is provided as general guidance. Boaters should always stay tuned to the latest forecasts and advisories from the National Weather Service.
The average high temperature for March 7 is 51 degrees and the average low is 31 degrees. The records at Baltimore on this date are 76 degrees in 1974, and 26 degrees in 1989. Today's sunrise will occur at 6:30 and the sunset will occur at 6:05. Weather data courtesy of the National Weather Service.

Top 10 Easy Houseplants
Do you love the look of lush live houseplants and the homey feel that houseplants lend to a space? Would you like to have a few plants around your home or workspace to brighten up the environment but haven't had luck keeping them alive? If you answered yes to either of these questions, I have the 10 suggestions for easy houseplants that are a snap to care for! Don't label yourself a brown thumb until you've tried growing one of these beautiful and forgiving plants.
Air Plants
Air plants are one of the easiest houseplants to care for because they do not require soil and potting. Bright, filtered light, as well as weekly watering, will keep these plants beautiful. They absorb moisture from the environment, so the more humid the conditions, the less water they will need. If the air is dry, submerge plants in water for 2-3 hours every 2 weeks. Otherwise, a simple weekly misting should keep these plants thriving. Air plants are versatile and may be placed on a shelf, in a seashell, on a window sill, desk or even on top of electronics such as the television or computer. They also come in a range of interesting sizes, shapes and forms.
Said to bring good luck, the bamboo plant lives and thrives in water alone. It looks great bunched in vases, Asian inspired containers, or in a water garden. Bamboo thrives in bright, filtered light, but avoid direct sunlight as it will scorch the leaves. Bamboo is very sensitive to chlorine and other impurities often found in tap water, so be sure to water your plant with distilled or bottled water, or tap water that has been left out for a day to let the chlorine evaporate.
Staghorn Fern
A relative of the orchid family, this plant looks like it's namesake of deer horns and even has a soft velvety surface that traps moisture for the plant and eliminates the need for traditional watering. It's one of the few plants that can be mounted on a wall as it requires only indirect light and occasional misting.
Jade, a succulent that is said to bring good luck, requires very little care. Jade plants prefer sun from a south or west window. Allow the plant to dry between waterings, but if the plant begins to shed or brown spots appear, the plant may need more water. If mealybugs appear on the plant, simply spray the plant with water and anti-bacterial soap.
Spider Plant
These plants look great hanging, especially when they flower and eventually sprout "babies." The offshoots can be removed and placed in soil or water and will grow into a plant of its own. The elongated leaves of the spider plant can be either solid green or variegated green and white, and they do indeed resemble a spider. Exposure to indirect light and moist soil are the only care requirements.
The ivy plant is an old-fashioned favorite. Its trails of pointed leaves look lovely cascading from a pot. The long trails may also be wound around a tiny trellis or frame. Ivy thrives in bright light, and its best that the soil is dry to the touch between waterings and that the plant has good drainage.
Wandering Jew
With its mixture of deep purple and green foliage, the wandering Jew is a variegated, trailing plant that offsets all green houseplants nicely. This plant does best in bright sunlight with a moderate to heavy watering schedule. Keep the soil moist, not soggy, most of the time.
Arguably the most common houseplant in America, this trailing plant is shiny with medium sized heart shaped leaves in varying shades of green. Often seen wound around stakes, trailing over frames or hung from high shelves, these plants grow fast and are very forgiving. Adequate light and moist soil are the only requirements to keep them healthy.
Traditional Cactus
Traditional cactus plants require bright light and loose sandy soil. Many cactus plants will bloom once a year. Soak plant thoroughly when top ½ inch of soil is dry to the touch. Allow the cactus to drain. During dark winter months, sunlight can be supplemented with a white fluorescent bulb.
Christmas Cactus
Known to bloom around Christmas time, the Christmas cactus sometimes blooms as early as October and may bloom twice in one year. This jointed, semi-prickly cactus plant has sporadic spikes and tiny fuchsia or white flowers when in bloom. These plants require nothing but bright light and very little watering—once a month is often enough.
These are my picks for easy houseplants. Tell me yours in the comment section below.

The Chelan City Council agreed to proceed with the call for bids for the Johnson Avenue Pedestrian Project, with a few changes to the original design.
The Pedestrian Project focuses along Johnson Avenue from the new stop light to the Lake Chelan School District Offices.
Chelan City Administrator, Jim Reinbold says Johnson Avenue is actually still state highway 150, so the Department of transportation has a significant impact on how the project is being done, adding that the solution is a compromise with them.
The City of Chelan Council meets the second and fourth Thursday of each month and will meet again next Thursday, February 9th at 6 pm."CLICK HERE" for Audio

Reviews for Easy Apple Cake
"Very good cake. I will definitely make this again."
"Deeeelicious! I've made this twice for parties, and everyone raved about this cake! I wouldn't change a thing! It's moist, light, and I love the crackled, crisp top! I served it with whipped cream and drizzled salted caramel sauce! Easy and enjoyable to make and your kitchen will smell devine!"
"Really good! The texture of this cake was even better than I expected. Moist and substantial without being too wet or heavy with a light crackling crisp top that I dusted with powdered sugar. Looked pretty and tasted yummy! Perhaps because I used sweet apples instead of tart, I think it would have been better if I'd reduced the amount of sugar a bit."
"Great Recipe!"
"I made this for my boss's mid-morning birthday party, and it was a huge hit! Super simple...and hearty enough for a breakfast treat. I made a few changes:- substituted 1/2 the oil for organic cold-pressed coconut oil (the flavor enhanced it greatly)- added a scant 1/8 tsp. of Cardamom- sprinkled the warm cake lightly with Turbinado sugar just for another fun texture- used a few more apples. We had quite a harvest of Honey Crisp apples this year and my frozen portions are probably more like 2-1/2 to 3 cups. I coarsely chopped and then drained the thawed apples before adding to the batter.- Baking time took a little longer in my glass 13 x 9 pan.I had requests for the recipe after the party and will make this regularly at home. It's fabulous and very flavorful! Excellent alone or with whipped cream or ice cream."

They say timing is everything. And when it comes to the timing of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the politics of climate and energy in the U.S., they are right -- although it's not entirely clear what about.
First off, there was President Obama's sudden--and some would argue surprising--announcement of his intention to lift the moratorium on offshore oil exploration and development on parts of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS): a move that many environmentalists decried as political pandering, ceding a valuable bargaining chip or just plain bad policy.
But President Obama saw opening up some areas to offshore oil and gas development as politically expedient, economically rational and--thanks to assurances from the oil industry--environmentally responsible. And then there was the explosion at a BP-leased offshore oil well where contractors were finishing a deepwater exploratory well about 30 miles off the coast of Louisiana.
The resulting oil spill, which continues to pump thousands of barrels of crude oil into the Gulf every day, came at an inopportune time for President Obama, especially considering the move to expand exploration on the OCS -- a politically unpopular move among environmentalists. But the timing event did cultivate fertile political ground for the anti-offshore oil drilling crowd, including a handful of senators led by Bill Nelson (D-Fla.).
Nelson, along with New Jersey Senators Menendez and Lautenberg introduced a bill last week that would raise the liability cap on damages that oil companies could be forced to pay for an oil spill from $75 million to $10 billion. "I will make it short and to the point," said Senator Nelson at a press conference announcing the bill, "The president's proposal for off-shore drilling is dead on arrival."
Nelson's comments came as some observers warned that effluent from the BP oil spill could get caught up in the Gulf Stream and threaten not only the Gulf Coast beaches of Florida, but it could potentially spread around the tip of Florida and up the coast, onto the shores of Mid-Atlantic states like Virginia, where offshore oil drilling is also a political hot button. The timing of the BP oil spill also created some cover for Republican Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina who pulled support for the energy and climate bill he had been working on with Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and John Kerry (D-Mass.).
Graham, the lone Republican who had previously said he withdrew support for the bill because the Democratic leadership indicated immigration reform might be taken up first, now says he also has wet feet because of the spill. "Regrettably, in my view, this has become impossible in the current environment," Sen. Graham said in a statement. "I believe there could be more than 60 votes for this bipartisan concept in the future. But there are not nearly 60 votes today and I do not see them materializing until we deal with the uncertainty of the immigration debate and the consequences of the oil spill."
B ut the other two senators working with Graham on the climate and energy bill believe differently and will be unveiling the bill this week. Kerry and Lieberman believe that now is actually the perfect time to tackle comprehensive energy legislation. Now, because the oil spill has raised energy policy into the national consciousness. Lieberman said accidents like the BP spill are very rare in offshore drilling but that "accidents happen."
"There were good reasons for us to put in offshore drilling," Lieberman told the radio program, Living on Earth. When the bill's other sponsor, Sen. John Kerry, was asked what he thought the chances of getting a bill passed were, Kerry said, "I remain very optimistic." But we've heard that one before.

JWC TO JEANNIE WELSH ; 6 August 1843; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18430806-JWC-JW-01; CL 17: 16-20
Sunday forenoon [6 August 1843]
My own Babbie
Have you comprehended me the least in the world? I fear not— I fear that your faith in me, steadfast as it is, must have received a shock more or less, from this prolonged silence. If so; now hear "the solution" and be sorry for having doubted a moment. Babbie I could not write to you while my husband was there, because I could and would and needed to write to thee more confidentially than to him even, and I felt that it were placing you in an embarassing predicament to send you letters which he naturally would wish to see and which you would not feel at liberty to show him—better—easier and more prudent, to write always straight to himself than to be writing as it were for him thro you or else for you to the exclusion of him— Not that I have had any mysteries of iniquity to communicate—but all my bits of household troubles—all my sympathy with you in your troubles, which with two such men1 must have been considerable—all my amusement at their planlessness—their lionizing &c &c— all my apprehensions of having John landed with me—all in short of the intimate little things which it came naturally to say to Babbie and to no person else all that it would have puzzled you to repeat to them—and when I tried to compose a letter to you a letter for the public—Ach Gott I found it not possible—I have got so into the way of splashing off whatever is on my mind when I write to you, without forethought or back thought that I must go on so if at all, to the end of the chapter. Well! now the coast is clear again—and now my Babbie how do you do? For me I have been but indifferently all last week Carlyle would perhaps tell you that I had been to Tunbridge Wells, and that feeling out of sorts next day I took an immense doze of shower bath to enable me to do the Kay Shuttleworths— The step I believe was too energetic—all that cold water drove my cold not away but in—and so I have been in a curious and rather wretched state ever since—
I seriously think of going for three or four days to the Isle of Wight on Tuesday—for the good of my body—and thro' my body of my soul— going actually with Old Sterling The poor old fellow is utterly broken down of late weeks and one may go with him anywhere now, into the deserts of Siberia even without apprehension of being ravished!!2— In fact he ought not to be from home alone—is too feeble to be without some one to take care of him—(varnish!)— Carlyle wrote to me several notices of bathing quarters Formby &c &c—and asked if I would like to come and take up my quarters there after he had paid his visit in Annandale— Remarkable proposition to take up my quarters in the place w[h]ere3 all that I wished to see were no longer to be seen! He did not seem to perceive somehow that your all being at Helensburgh needed to make any difference in my desires after a seabathing place near Liverpool—What on earth were Liverpool to me more than Kamchatka4 under these circumstances, indeed were worse than the most unknown region—for it would be a sort of cruel mockery— He wants I think to bring his mother over there for seabathing— Well—that is all as it should be—she likes seabathing and the distance were convenient for her—but in Gods name What uses were there for me in the business—a pretty lark to have all the botheration of settling my house here and going off twohundred miles to weary—and be fretted from morning till night in a dreary seabathing establis[h]ment5 on the Mersey with Mrs Carlyle— To be sure there would be the Paulets and Geraldine left! But if I am to do with offputs I think I could find still better offputs nearer home
I am out of humour—so I had better speculate no further on this particular question— I had letters from both Mrs Paulet and Geraldine yesterday—full of enchantment over the "Angel visit"—and comprising even John in their questionable hero-worship. "Jeannie looked nice and pretty as she always does"— — Carlyle seems to have been rather charmed with Mrs Paulet and not displeased with Geraldine—indeed with all his hatred of being made a lion of he seems to tolerate those who make him so marvelously well.—
I also have been doing a bit of hero-worship—a thing not much in my line nowadays—I see so much of it that the whole thing has grown to look mawkish and absurd to me—
But my "youthful enthusiasm" as John Sterling calls it—which I had long supposed quite extinct kindled at the advent of— ———Father Mathew! Indeed Babbie I regard that man as the greatest Benefactor of his century and knowing him within reach of me I could not rest till I had told him so in so many words— I said to Robertson when he was here on Friday evening—that I must see and speak to Father Mathew— Well said he you have only to fix your time and I will get an introduction for you and myself from Mrs Hall6— No sooner said than done— I fixed next evening—that is to say last night—when he was to be administering the pledge in the Commercial road7—a place a mile and half beyond the furthest stretch of the Omnibuses—eight or nine miles from Chelsea— Robertson presented himself with the letter at five and we started in the Omnibus and arrived on the scene of action about seven—the most impressive scene I ever witnessed in this world—all the theatrical exhibitions that I ever assisted at melted into one could not have so moved me—there were faces, both of men and of women among those who received the pledge which will haunt me to my death—such concentrated wretchedness struggling a last deadly struggle as it were with the powers of darkness—such hope founded on despair— Oh such things in those faces! pale as paper some of them and covered with cold sweat—it was unspeakable—heartbreaking— —I never—saw before the lot of humanity so fearfully laid bare—nor the mercy of heaven shining so brightly as from the eyes of that good Priest— He was on a scafolding with one or two gentlemen and a number of common-men and policeman—the scafolding was higher than my head and had no visible means of access to it— We handed up our letter to a Policeman who took it to Father Mathew where he was standing alongside of an american capptain8 who was making an address—presently the Father himself came to us—he reached down his hand to me with the look of the best of Fathers—but what more to do?—we could not mount he could not discend— —I saw a piece of rope hanging from the edge of the scafolding like a festoon—remember I was in a moment of wild enthusiasm—I placed a foot on the rope—still holding the Fathers hand—with the other hand seized the edge of the scafolding and swung myself God knows how onto the boards—landing of course in a horizontal position at his feet—he gave a cry—thinking I must fall back—but in a moment I was on my feet safe and erect—I said to Robertson in coming home—"What must the Father have thought of me arriving at him in that way like a rope dancer"—to which he answered roguishly "Oh no, Mrs Carlyle not like a rope dancer—" I dare say I showed my legs dreadfully. He made me sit down in the only chair for a moment and then taking me by the hands as if I had been a little girl he led me to the front of the scafolding to see him administer the pledge—a sight which affected me as I have told you—I was all in tears and could hardly help laying down my head on the good mans shoulder—and taking a good cry there before the whole crowd— —Robertson who had rejoined me—insisted I should come away that I was going to faint—that I knew I should not do—but it did seem more prudent that I should come away—but then followed the grandest piece of folly (if you like to call it so) of all—I thought "I shall never see this truly good man again—let me carry away some remembrance of him and leave him some remembrance of me"— What had I that I could give?—only three rings on not one of which could be parted with—I had no silk handkerchief—what then? I bethought me joyfully of a very beautiful memorandum book which had been given to me by old Sterling and was then in my reticule with some memoranda on it— I hastily and privately rubbed out these with my handkerchief—then I drew the Father aside and said to him hurredly—only half intelligibly I dare say—give me one of your medals—I cannot take your pledge but I want a medal to keep for your sake and do you keep this for me— He looked astonished for a moment as I thrust the memorandum-book into his hand. and then puzzled—for as it happened he had no silver medal and he wished to give me a silver one— —but he observed one attached to a green ribbon round the neck of a Gentleman where he had just placed it—he gently removed it from his neck again, saying let me have this you shall have another in a few minutes and then taking it off the string he laid it in my hand with such a benignant smile—and such a devout blessing— I only wished that he had laid his hand on my brow as on the poor women's— I came away finally, more excited than ever Gambardella himself was when his "hairs" were at the longest!— I could not speak on the way home—I could not sleep when I went to bed—I could not even this morning subside into my "normal state" till I had written Father Mathew a long letter—expressing something of the meaning which I had found it utterly impossible to articulate last night— Now I have told you this long story of myself very ill I am sure—have made it merely absurd— whereas it was something else as well it was a mixture of the absurd and the deeply touchingly earnest
—Juliet Mudie goes off to Manchester tomorrow morning and I have just packed the picture and the frame into her trunk—to the care of Geraldine who will easily get them forwarded to you— I do not think they can possibly take any hurt—wrapped up as they are—
I have had Plattnauers farewell Sunday visit this morning—he goes into country quarters this week9—but intends cutting himself loose and returning here on his own independent footing in six weeks!—tant mieux [so much the better]—
What a quantity of things I still have to tell thee my Babbie—and see already what a letter—again you perceive I have had recourse in case of need to the Butchers book—write to me here—if I am in the Isle of Wight the letter will follow me there—love to the boys and Walter—
Your own cousin and sister and friend10 / [no signature]

OpenSolaris Developer Preview 2

Just installed OpenSolaris Developer Preview 2. Very easy and fast download and install. Give it a try. Thanks, guys. Very nice.
Just installed OpenSolaris Developer Preview 2. Very easy and fast download and install. Give it a try. Thanks, guys. Very nice.
So I have a question Jim. I have not made any great strides in getting OpenSolaris Running. The Installer is confusing to me. I know I am going to catch hell but the Ubuntu installer is simple and me like simple. Is OpenSolaris moving in the direction? On click installs. I like the power of Solaris but to date i just use a VM to play around with OpenSolaris.
BTW: It looks really nice.

I have posted screenshots of running DP2 in SXDE4 under VirtualBox in PecasaWeb:
A more advanced discussion can be found in Alan Burlison's blog:
Both DP2 and VirtualBox look very good.
Posted by W. Wayne Liauh on February 14, 2008 at 08:47 AM JST #
I threw it on Parallels Desktop on my MacBook. Installed smoothly. Runs quick and clean. But... I guess it doesn't like the emulated NE2000 NIC, because it's not seeing any network interfaces aside from localhost. :(
It looks really promising though, and the performance seems to be great for running under a hypervisor with 512MB of RAM. Even the Live CD stuff ran better than I expected before I installed it. Very nice!

I know, I'm so outdated but can you blame me??!! I have been so busy that I didn't even knew that Bleach already ended!!! So do you think that Bleach anime will continue? Like Naruto, Dragonball and HunterxHunter? DO YOU EVEN WANT IT TO CONTINUE? If you saw the last episode, Ichigo said "SEE YOU LATER" so is there hope that BLEACH will still continue?
In my opinion I would like to continue the BLEACH anime. WHY? because IT just started to be good again(he just regain his powers)! AND I WANT TO SEE THE LAST ARC TO BE ANIMATED!!! It's such a pity that it ended. Bleach always bring back good memories of my childhood.
I certainly hope that the anime will continue in the future.

Discussion Topic
My Children Hate MePosted on 10/12/08, 04:53 pm
I have always believed that if you have a problem you have to find a solution to solve it. Here I am almost 60 years of age and just now realized I did everything in the last 60 years all wrong. A whole lifetime of mistakes. My three children hate me and I don't really know why. They say I'm too negative, I smoke too much and I talk about things they do not need to know. I can't believe it! My youngest son told me a year and a half ago that he wants nothing to do with me. Don't call me or e-mail me. When I asked why he said he will call me sometime to explain. I have seen him at family gatherings, funerals and a wedding. He gives me a peck on the cheeks, says Hi Mom and thats it. I do not hear from him again. I called at his B-Day and he was very polite, said thanks for calling and thats it! My daughter never calls me and when I told her I would like to have her kids for the day, she said she didn't want her kids to see me smoke, I tell them things they should not know and my mothers house smells. (I am caretaker of my 86 year old mother). The house is old, my parents have lived in this house for the last 50 years and yes I would have to completely re-do this house. It is cluttered, but it is not dirty. We have a cleaning lady and I certainly do my share. I have my whole life kept 2 households, and worked full time to help send my kids through school and pay for holidays etc.. Both my boys went to private school and have a good career today and are well off. I was careful thoughout their growing up to never abuse them (I'm a survivor of abuse) because I was always afraid that they would hate me the way I hated my parents growing up. They say you create the thing you fear most! My oldest son does let me see my granddaughter once every two weeks and I am greatfull for that. However, he refuses to speak to me about the rest of his siblings or anything other than his daughter. I have respected their wishes thinking that eventually they will try to work things out with me but the longer this continues the worse I am getting. Between deep depression, wanting to die and having no purpose, I've hung on because of my granddaughter and oldest son. But the pain is unbearable. I have been drinking to get through the nights but numbing out the pain is not the answer. I go to bed thinking of this, wake in the night thinking of this and wake in the morning the same way. I have started to meditate and go swimming three times a week just to get out of the house. I have developed agoraphobia and have to force myself to go out of the house. Shopping for me has become a big deal never mind a social life. I want to do right for whatever wrong I did to them. I just don't know how and what! I am at the point where I need to feel I just don't care anymore. But everytime they throw me a bone I am sooooooooo greatful. Then I hate myself for being so weak. Then I hate them for being so cruel and then I feel so guilty for feeling hatred for my own children. Can anyone out there give me an idea of how to get off this MAD merry go round?

Oh eve 110 I wish so very much that I had the magic words to make all of this go away. I am so sorry that you are in so much pain. I don't know what it is today but there are so many of us in very smiliar situations. Children who just don't relate to their parents. I know I did not raise my youngest to be the woman she has become. It hurts me so to read your story. Just know you are not alone. Take care of yourself. I am here if you need to talk. Love and hugs, barb

barbs56 Thanks, it helps so much when you know that someone understands! Love Eve
Reply #3 10/12/08 6:49pm
You are welcome. I don't think I have any advice to give you though because I too am on the same Merry Go Round.... only there isn't anything merry about it. Just take care of yourself...........love and hugs, barb
Reply #4 10/12/08 7:43pm
Oh Eve! Your story mirrors mine. I know your pain and understand exactly what you are talking about and how you feel. I could have written this post describing my situation, as others here know, I have. I have finally come to the only decision I could... but along the way I have felt just as you describe. Please hang in there, and know I and others here understand and are here to support you. Love ~Debbie
Reply #5 10/12/08 11:02pm
I have advice.
Change your use of pronouns.
They, she, he...let em all go.
I want, I think, I feel, I need, I am...
Think of you as being first right now.
They have made their decisions.
You are exhausting yourself to try and figure out what you did to cause this.
You may have had little to do with what is happening with your children.
Just maybe you were negative because of the depression you have had for 15 years.
Negative thinking is a symptom of depression.
It is unfortunate that your illness may have caused your children discomfort.
But it is what it is...an illness.
Families are supposed to be a safe place.
Healthy family members support an ill person in any way they can.
I am sorry your children have not been there for you.
Now is the time for you to start to make a better life for yourself.
You count. You are important. You are deserving. You are precious.
I also suffer from Agoraphobia.
I would like to consider looking at the swimming as part of your recovery.
You are forcing yourself to get out of the house to fight your anxiety.
This is a success right here !
Empower yourself, by congratulating yourself on the swimming issue.
It really is great.
I do wish I was able to do what you are doing.
Strengthen yourself for you and all the good people that are waiting to come into your life.
No matter what our children do with their lives, WE can still have a wonderful life, too.
I am so glad you are here with us.
Reply #6 10/12/08 11:11pm
Eve, my heart goes out to you. As everyone here has said, this seems to be a problem that is happening all too many times. It hurts and I thought my middle son was actually responding and we were going to start communicating more, but it now appears he is slipping away with his wife and daughter. I am sorry again and want you to know I am here for you anytime to chat and for comfort and support.
Reply #7 10/12/08 11:26pm
And another thing...what if they DO hate you ?
So what !
The only thing that is important right now is what YOU think of you.
Even if you were absolutely perfect, there would be some that would find you lacking in some way.
It hurts so much when these people are our grown children.
Still, recovering from your pain and depression is all about your right now.
If you do not like all of who you are...fine.
Then slowly, a drop at a time, make changes in your life.
You are swimming three times a week.
You work hard around your home.
Good for you.
That is something of which I am envious.
But...what an accomplishment for you.
What else would you like to do ?
Would you like to go to see a matinee movie feature some time this week or next week ?
I bet you could find a good film to see.
It was hard for me to start doing this.
I go to the matinees. This way, it cause me less anxiety because there are less people.
How about the library... ?
Do you like it there ?
If you have any extra cash, you could get a pedicure or a massage.
I save earnestly during the month so I can get a pedicure every four to six weeks.
My feet feel great.
A foot massage comes with the pedicure.
It stimulates nerve endings in the feet that go throughout the body.
Plus, I pick colors that are exciting to me, like aqua or cobalt blue.
Then I have a sparkling glitter put over the top of the color base.
My toes are happy and they look great.
Right now, I have navy blue polish with silver sparkling glitter polish.
I call it Starry, Starry Nights.
You can find things that you like to do, that have nothing to do with your children, that make you feel good about yourself.
Come on...let's start today.
You can do it !
I am sorry I got so fired up.
I just hate seeing you down on yourself.
You and I, we will work on changing our negative thoughts to positive ones.
You did well, Eve !
You joined PEACE.
That means you have already started to strengthen yourself.
You have made friends already.
You are very articulate and expressive.
Obviously you are an intelligent woman.
I think you have an awful lot going for you, Eve.
Reply #8 10/12/08 11:38pm
Eve....guess who this is ?
I tried to send you a hug message.
I received a note saying that you have not yet confirmed your email address of account.
Let's get you all signed up there, girl.
You will be able to meet lots of lovely people and get nice messages from them, too.
Reply #9 10/13/08 8:37am
Thank you all. All of you are so kind and thanks for the advice GoodGod. It is well taken. You are absolutely right. My children have no idea what depression is and what comes with it. What I left out in the beginning was that my ex-husband is a saint. Part of my divorce was when I first got sick and went into 7 years of intensive counseling to overcome childhood abuse by my stepfather and the whole time he made me the enemy in the house with my children. Instead of saying to them, Mom is sick and needs our help and support, he made me look like I was doing things or at the time not doing things like I did it out of not caring. To this day he has kept up this kind of silent rage against me without ever saying a bad word against me. He plays my children like a violin. I realize now after knowing him for almost 40 years that he has always done this to me and that is all the children ever saw. I never realized it!!!! There is much more but I will leave that for now. Maybe a whole other subject! Thank you all again for caring and sharing. I am so sorry that there are mothers who have this tremendous loss and rejection in their lives. How horrible!
Reply #10 10/18/08 12:04pm
Dear Even 110:
Please don't blame yourself. After my divorce 27 years ago I have not seen my 4 adult kids much. They tell people not to tell me where they live. It mostly mental illnesses. In addition, they were turned against me because I divorced their dad. It is a long and horror of a story; however, I know that I am not alone; however, I did not know there was a support group online. My heart goes out to you and all mothers that don't see their "babies." I don't know how I have been able to endure. I don't know if I will be able to be active in a support group. My health and mind cannot withstand the memories and the pain; therefore, I just live as a woman alone and get the problem out of my mind, so I think. Actually, it is in my mind every day of my life and there is nothing much I can do. My 3 adult kids want nothing to do with me. They live lives of perdition, which is against my values, and they know it. Oh yes, I do know how I can endure, by following Jesus and praying for them. Think of it this way, praying for them has far more value than seeing them and being with them. Of course, having both would be better. I offer my sufferings to the Lord, becasue He needs so many sacrifieces to save the world and our children. Just think that the one to blame is satan. He is the one destroying lives. Satan is stronger than human beings who are not devoutly following Jesus. May God bless you and all mothers who are suffering. Just remember we will be rewarded in heaven, where our kingdom is.

Mayor Vince Gray's Office of GLBT Affairs made its first public announcement under the new leadership of Jeffrey Richardson this week, sharing the Metropolitan Police Department's new phone number for reaching officers with the Metropolitan Police Department's Gay and Lesbian Liaison Unit (GLLU).
"The [GLLU] upgraded its On-Call Duty Pager to a more modern BlackBerry device. The BlackBerry has phone and e-mail capabilities. When seeking GLLU assistance please call, 202-506-0714 or email email@example.com," the release advises.
That news stirred some controversy.
David Mariner, executive director of The Center, the local LGBT community center, expressed concern that Gays and Lesbians Opposing Violence (GLOV), a project of The Center, had purchased and distributed key chains in recent months with the old GLLU number printed on it. The Center, he adds, still holds hundreds of key chains with the old number in storage.
"There is no way GLOV would have made this kind of financial investment if we had known you were going to change your phone number," Mariner wrote to MPD Capt. Edward Delgado in a Jan. 24 e-mail. "This is a significant waste of financial resources for us, and a lost opportunity to partner with the local community for GLLU. I find this a bit frustrating."
Delgado responded by saying that the old pager lacked the technology to receive calls, texts and e-mails, and that the GLLU would be conducting a campaign to spread word of its new number. He added that the old pager number would work for 30 days.
Brian Watson of Transgender Health Empowerment, while approving of the more advanced GLLU communication capabilities, shared some of Mariner's concern on MPD's Special Liaison Branch (SLB) listserv, on which GLLU concerns are aired.
"From the perspective of someone who works with the transgender community – and our clients don't always have fixed addresses or ways of communicating this change – I would not feel comfortable trying to get the word out to a good portion of the community in 30 days," he wrote.
MPD Chief Cathy Lanier provided the final response, replying to the discussion on an MPD listserv, writing: "They are being left in place for a few more months. We appreciate everyone's feedback."

Cornerstone Marketing & Advertising, Inc. owners Jerry and Lisa Burwell
We are implementing some new programs this year to celebrate our 20-year anniversary: the first is the creation of an entrepreneur program—The Bright Star Award, which grants $10,000 to a young business that we feel embodies creativity, tenacity, talent, hard work, and the ability to inspire both customers and other businesses. Nicole Paloma, a fashion line founded by Nicole Paloma Rockhill, is this year's recipient. The award was presented at our annual Christmas party for both VIE magazine and Cornerstone Marketing & Advertising, Inc., which was held at and catered by the fabulous Roux 30a.
Roux 30a owners, Chef Nikhil Abuvala and Candace Abuvala
As owner and designer of original hand-sewn designs of ethereal, beautiful clothing, Nicole has already made a name for herself with an article in Southern Living last year and by showcasing her couture line at the inaugural South Walton Fashion Week at Grand Boulevard in front of an enthusiastic crowd of admirers—our team included. Nicole will also be joining VIE magazine to attend Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City this February. Additionally, the South Walton Tourist Development Council has invited Nicole to be part of a creative press tour to showcase and represent our area and the many fascinating reasons to visit our glorious beaches. We were so impressed with Nicole's vision and designs, which were also featured in the Nov/Dec issue of VIE. (Click here to view—Article is on page 120.)

"The fact that her clothing is made in America and that I know what it takes to launch a business from the ground up made Nicole the perfect candidate for our first Bright Star Award. I feel it is my duty to assist businesses I respect and admire in a community that has embraced my own dream," noted Lisa Burwell, founder and president of Cornerstone Marketing & Advertising and VIE magazine.
Here's to a fruitful year of blessings for our community and special congratulations to Nicole Paloma. Please visit her boutique in Grayton Beach or visit her website at www.nicolepaloma.com.

Police arrest two people when a drone flying over George Washington Bridge forces a helicopter to change course.
01:00, UK, Wednesday 09 July 2014
Two people have been held for allegedly operating a drone that was on a possible collision course with a police helicopter in New York.
The helicopter pilot spotted the small unmanned aircraft near George Washington Bridge on Monday.
The drone continued to circle the bridge, coming within 800ft (240m) of the helicopter and forcing it to change course to avoid a collision.
Police tracked the drone and arrested Wilkins Mendoza and Remy Castro, both of Manhattan, on reckless endangerment charges.
The police also recovered another drone at the scene.
The New York Post, which first reported the story, said Castro and Mendoza bought the drones within the last two weeks for $500 (£290) to $700 (£400) each.
The newspaper cited a friend of the two.
The Federal Aviation Administration has yet to set standards for certifying the safety of civilian drones.
Efforts to provide them regular access to US skies face significant hurdles.
In addition to safety concerns, some human rights group fear that drones might be a danger to the privacy of US citizens.
Civilian drones are typically smaller than the ones used for military strikes.

Dante Fantoni of Lehigh was one of three Mountain Hawks selected Friday night in the MLL Draft.
Jan. 12, 2013
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Reigning Tewaaraton trophy and Enners award winner Peter Baum of Colgate was chosen first overall by the Ohio Machine in Friday night's Major League Lacrosse draft held in Philadelphia.
The senior attackman leads a list of seven Patriot Leaguers who were chosen by MLL teams.
Lehigh led with three selections, while Army had a pair drafted. Bucknell and Colgate each had one.
Baum became the first in League history to win the Tewaaraton trophy and the Enners award last season. He finished his junior season leading the nation with 67 goals and 97 points, which set Colgate and League records.
Army's chosen pair were senior attackman Garrett Thul and senior defenseman Brendan Buckley, the reigning Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year in men's lacrosse. Thul was drafted in the third round, 21st overall by Hamilton, while Buckley was taken in the seventh round, 54th overall by Boston.
Denver picked Lehigh senior attackman Dante Fantoni with the 39th selection (fifth round), while a pair of his teammates were drafted back-to-back in the sixth round. Noah Molnar went to Rochester with the 45th choice, and David DiMaria was picked at No. 46 by Boston.
Rounding out the list of seven was Bucknell senior keeper Kyle Feeney, who was chosen in the eighth round, 59th overall, by Charlotte.

Florida lawmakers say homeowner's insurance relief is on the way after they passed a massive overhaul bill in the final minutes of the annual legislative session Friday night.
Education also gets a record increase in state dollars, but other important issues were left on the table as the clock ran out.
Lawmakers ended the 2006 session just after midnight Saturday morning with the usual elaborate, if strange, ceremony, the dropping of the handkerchief in the center of the Capitol between the House and Senate.
They passed the largest state budget ever, and pumped a record $32 billion into schools.
Senate President Tom Lee said it was a productive session.
"I'm extremely grateful for a historic increase in public education funding, 63 percent larger than any time in Florida history."
Other key issues didn't make the cut. Jeb Bush's controversial priorities to save the state's school voucher program and weaken class size restrictions failed, and the clock ran out on a $60 million package for the Florida Marlins.
Lawmakers did approve a measure to limit who pays in civil lawsuits, and they voted to use more than $700 million to offset homeowner's insurance rate hikes.
Outgoing House Speaker in Panama City, Allan Bense, said, "We passed, I think, a good insurance bill; we passed eminent domain laws, I think, that will really help Florida. I could rattle off a long list. We did a great energy bill and affordable housing, a bill that's great."
Democrats called it a session of missed opportunities. Lawmakers put some extra money in to help the state's juvenile justice system, but not nearly as much as many say was needed.
A bipartisan effort to ban school bullying also didn't make it through, but supporters like Rep. Ken Gottlieb of Mirimar say they at least made their point.
"The great thing is that now we've had Democrats and Republicans and the entire House of Representatives realize that we have a problem in our schools."
Lawmakers now go home to start campaigning for the November elections.
Another bill lawmakers passed in the final hours of the session will allow local governments to vote on a $2-a-day rental car surcharge, with the money going to fix and build local roads.

Parfums DelRae is a small American niche brand guided by the creative vision of one woman, DelRae Roth, and the house does not launch new products very often, so any new perfume is always eagerly awaited. The 2014 release of Wit is no exception. This fragrance was inspired by the aroma of Daphne blossoms in the spring, and since that is one of my own favorite flowers, I was very eager to try it.
Wit opens on a fresh, lemony note mixed with leafy green and it's impossible not to think of spring and fresh air, so it definitely succeeded there. Narcissus, angelica, lemon, mandarin and laurel leaf all sing of dewy mornings and new beginnings. What surprised me about it was that it does not really smell like Daphne to me, at least not like our beloved Daphne odora found in so many Northwestern gardens. It is more like the sweeter smell of Daphne cneorum, also known as rock or garland Daphne, which is a low-growing plant with small leaves that is less showy than the larger D. odora. It has a sweet spice and vanilla scent that is close kin to that offered up by many lilies, especially the dazzling Oriental varieties, and after the opening burst, Wit settles into a very lily-like mode that includes the dense, slightly scratchy pollen impression (courtesy of mimosa) found in such fragrances as Cartier Baiser Volé, Lalique Flora Bella and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Lys Soleia. I kept waiting for the scent to morph into something greener but it landed in the "yellow floral" camp for me, rich and slightly waxy with a dusting of pollen, and much more of a summer floral than a harbinger of spring. I can't say that I am too disappointed, because lilies are my favorite flowers, so Wit just adds another welcome choice to the short list of available lily perfumes. Of course, others may have a very different impression of this perfume, so it is always best to try before you buy.
Wit lasts very well for a floral scent, thanks to a base of amber, vanilla and musk. It lacks the astringent greenness of the sadly discontinued Napa Valley Perfumes Cielo that combined sweet Daphne with grape leaf and fig, and I could wish for more of that character from it, but it's a beautiful fragrance in its own right and I will enjoy wearing it as the weather warms up. The fragrances of Parfums DelRae can be purchased at Luckyscent.
