Young people need help to fight eating disorders

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Eliza Cox appeared to be a normal, healthy teenage girl with an infectious smile and an outgoing personality.
Warning signs of eating disorders
Many men and women with eating disorders do not appear to be underweight. It does not mean they suffer less or are in any less danger.
1. Dramatic weight loss in a relatively short period of time.
2. Wearing big or baggy clothes or dressing in layers to hide body shape and/or weight loss.
3. Obsession with weight and complaining of weight problems (even if "average" weight or thin).
4. Obsession with calories and fat content of foods.
5. Obsession with continuous exercise.
6. Frequent trips to the bathroom immediately following meals (sometimes accompanied with water running in the bathroom for a long period of time to hide the sound of vomiting).
7. Unusual food rituals such as shifting the food around on the plate to look eaten; cutting food into tiny pieces; making sure the fork avoids contact with the lips (using teeth to scrape food off the fork or spoon); chewing food and spitting it out, but not swallowing; dropping food into napkin on lap to later throw away.

But on the inside, she was fighting a battle that stripped her of any joy. She lacked energy and self esteem; she was a perfectionist who thought nothing she did was ever good enough.
Cox, who is now 17, developed an eating disorder when she was in the seventh grade. She dealt with bouts of anorexia, bulimia and even binge eating at times.
Friends, family members and teachers didn't know she had a problem. Even Cox wouldn't admit she had a problem, if asked.
She thought she was healthy and what she was doing was normal.
"That's the thing with eating disorders," the Spartanburg High School student said on a recent Thursday morning. "They thrive in secrecy."
Eating disorders affect more than 35 million Americans, according to the National Eating Disorders Association, It's not just a female problem, about seven million of those affected are males.
More people die from eating disorders than from any other psychiatric illness.
"It's an illness that most people do not understand," said Cox, who finally broke and admitted her problem to her parents in ninth grade. "When you look around town you can't go into someone's mind and see what they are thinking and see what is going on."
In Spartanburg, schools are now being taught how to better understand the issue that plagues so many.
On a recent Wednesday, about 60 guidance counselors and nurses from all Spartanburg County school districts gathered in a classroom at Spartanburg High School and received twohour training on how to recognize, approach and treat students who have eating disorders. The trainees will take what they learned back to their schools and teach others.
The training was led by Mental Fitness Inc., a New York-based nonprofit that recently moved its headquarters to Spartanburg. The nonprofit works with schools to raise awareness of mental health, eating disorders, body image and stress management.
"This is a national movement to raise awareness in schools about these issues that no one really is talking about," said Robyn Hussa, founder and CEO of Mental Fitness Inc. "By raising awareness through strategic and collaborative trainings, we hope to assist communities in reducing the number of sufferers of eating disorders and other mental illnesses and enhance the mental fitness of every child in Spartanburg."
Dr. Terry Pruitt, deputy superintendent of School District 7, said the training was rolled out in District 7 schools last year. District 7 agreed to host additional training for other schools.
"This is something that we thought would be valuable to all of our school districts," Pruitt said. "We are excited to have this resource. As we look at statistics nationwide, eating disorders are a bigger problem than many realize, and it's certainly more than anorexia or bulimia. We are learning a lot."
He said schools, once they recognize a problem, can help steer the students and their parents to the best resources for help.
Now that Cox has recovered from her eating disorders, and is "as free as she has ever been," she educates others about the issues she faced. She attended the training session and answered questions asked by nurses and guidance counselors.
"Raising awareness is so important," she said. "This is a growing problem, and many of the issues go unrecognized."

Tuesday's letters: Christmas furor
Published: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 10, 2012 at 5:06 p.m.
To the editor: I honor and believe the teachings of Jesus, though Im not Christian. I value freedom of religion and am abhorred by what has been done to a wonderful religious holiday, one that should be celebrated in reverence, contemplation, prayer and attending services at ones house of worship.
The shopping frenzy and commercialization has nothing to do with the birth of Christ. Nothing. I doubt that he would want his birthday to be remembered and celebrated thusly. Such gross, money-centered activity should be assigned to another day of the year. Even worshippers of other religions are pulled into the maddening furor because their kids see the commercials for toys and electronics and dont want to be left out. Poor children wonder why theyre not showered with presents, too.
Ringing in the New Year with raucous parties, celebrations, shopping, gifting, food, drink and fireworks seems especially suited to bidding adieu to the old and welcoming the new. Merchants, instead of counting on a last furor of holiday spending at years end, could start off the New Year with money in their pockets.
Nobody would have a reason to complain that Christ has been taken out of Christmas.
Ines Illgen
Losing patience
To the editor: At a recent luncheon meeting downtown, one of my friends reported seeing this sign at a Hendersonville store: Christmas specials threw out the store.
I despair over the lack of proper spelling of our beloved language, English. Despite spell-check buttons on our computers, we often see errors in spelling simple, ordinary, everyday words, but the Christmas specials error shows a tragic lack of training in basic grammar and meaning of words. It is no wonder that employees have difficulty in hiring when so many job applicants cannot write simple sentences.
As an 81-year-old female, educated way back yonder when you did not progress in grammar grades if you could not read and write English correctly, Im losing my patience. By the way, who threw out those specials?
Barbara N. Auld
Our credibility
To the editor: It seems John McCain and about a hundred other Republicans plan to block the appointment of Susan Rice to secretary of State, should President Obama try to do so.
The reason? As the ambassador to the United Nations, she repeated intelligence given to her about the attack in Benghazi, Libya, that was incorrect. Americas credibility on the world stage has been compromised, say McCain and the others.
Nobody died because of this, but perhaps such a mistake is worthy of having her blacklisted from such an important position. Perhaps she should have verified the information she was given.
But what about the weapons of mass destruction then-President George W. Bush, then-Vice President Dick Cheney, then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and so many others used as an excuse to invade Iraq? Unlike Rices gaffe, thousands of innocent Americans are dead and thousands more maimed both physically and mentally because of this misinformation. Tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis are dead because of this misinformation. Was Americas credibility on the world stage compromised by that?
Bruce Benson
GOP viewpoint
To the editor: A recent analysis of the presidential election (Nov. 18 edition) pointed out that 60 percent of the white vote went to Mitt Romney, with, by contrast, 93 percent of the black vote, 71 percent of the Hispanic vote and 73 percent of the Asian vote going to Barack Obama. These results inescapably show a white versus the rest mentality.
Since the white vote percentage continues to decrease (87 percent in 1992 and projected to be less than 70 percent in 2016), it only seems logical that the Republican Party should move its losing Norquist/Rove/Limbaugh ultra-conservative viewpoint more toward the middle.
Many of us who are independents, moderate Republicans or reasonable Democrats also want a balanced budget and reduction of the national debt. However, we hope for more acceptable candidates next time around.

Get in the Act! Arts in Action combines energizing drama techniques with guided-inquiry to strengthen students' comprehension of science concepts. Since 2010, our pioneering Science Theater program has positively impacted more than 2,000 elementary students in six schools across three school districts in the Lake Tahoe Region. Get in the Act! draws on the performing arts as an invaluable teaching tool to break open curriculum so that students get science concepts "into their bones." As a result, Science Theater is particularly effective at reaching the non-traditional learner.
According to a report by the Center on Education and the Workforce, 8 million jobs will be available in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields by 2018. However, the report also indicates that the next generation of employees in America will be unprepared and unqualified to take advantage of these positions.
Recognizing this profound implication for the future of America's workforce, Science Theater grooms students to build critical-thinking skills and promotes interest in STEM disciplines. Get in the Act!'s hands-on dramatizations provide a framework so that students absorb science ideas through proactive engagement of all their senses. Our upbeat learning methods provide a personal connection to core science content, embedding it more firmly in a student's mind.
Local school officials also believe Science Theater has helped improve science test scores.
"Science Theater has directly helped our students improve their test scores," said Zephyr Cove Elementary School Principal Nancy Cauley, whose school's scores have increased 44 percent since 2010. "The hands-on, participatory nature of this program allows students to fully grasp difficult science concepts and reach common core learning standards. Students, parents, and teachers love this program!"
Finally, the most rewarding aspect is hearing from the students themselves, such as the fourth-grader who proclaimed, "Wouldn't it be great if we learned all subjects this way?!"
Get in the Act sincerely thanks Vail Resorts Echo and all our valued partners for their support in strengthening our communities.
- Corporate sustainability has always been fundamental for Kirkwood and Heavenly Mountain Resort and their parent company, Vail Resorts. Through Vail Resorts Echo, our sustainability program, we hope to connect our communities to our efforts - from on the ground conservation programs to grants for local schools. Aimed at both protecting the natural resources that surround the resorts and helping build stronger communities where our employees live and work, Vail Resorts Echo encompasses three core efforts: environmental stewardship, charitable giving and community engagement.

Get in the Act! Arts in Action is a dedicated team of professionally trained artists and educators that use the performing arts as powerful teaching tools to strengthen the learning process. Founded in September 2009, its nonprofit work is a natural outgrowth of our successful ten years of creative arts programming in the the Northern Sierra Nevada region. By partnering with schools and community centers it has served more than 10,000 students, parents, and audience participants with programs that educate and entertain.

STOCKTON - The St. Mary's girls' basketball team overcame a cold shooting spell in the first half with a much stronger second half to defeat South Medford (Ore.) in its second game of the MLK-St. Mary's Showcase on Monday at Morelli Gym.
The Rams overcame a double-digit deficit in the first half and won 84-69, despite trailing 43-42 at halftime. The Rams (18-1) turned it around in the third quarter, outscoring the Panthers 18-5 and led 60-48 to begin the fourth.
"We only make one of our first 15 3-point shots," St. Mary's coach Tom Gonsalves said. "They were good shots, but the ball just kept rolling in and then out. We kept the pressure on and it wore them down. They couldn't match up player-for-player speed-wise, and Unique (Coleman) was very, very good today."
Coleman had a team-high 24 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and three steals, and Brijanee Moore added 21 points. Onome Jemerigbe had 11 points and five steals for the Rams, who won their 11th in a row and are ranked No. 4 in Division I.
"We started off slow with our rotation and the shots weren't falling," said Coleman, who has signed with Pacific. "But we picked it up and started attacking more instead of shooting 3s. That got them in foul trouble."
South Medford (11-4), ranked No. 3 in Division 6A in Oregon, was led by Kylie Towry, who made five 3-pointers and scored 30 points. Panthers coach Tom Cole was disappointed his team got into foul trouble, which limited his starters' minutes in the second half.
"Despite a foul deficit of 20-2 in the first half, we played well," Cole said. "But we couldn't have more than two starters on the court at the same time, and that changed the game for us."
The Panthers were whistled for 26 fouls, the Rams had 13. The Panthers were 11 of 18 from the free-throw line, and St. Mary's was 21 of 36.

LOS ANGELES -- Continuing a campaign to deepen its appeal to children, Netflix on Tuesday announced a partnership with DreamWorks Animation to create an original cartoon series.
The show, expected to make its debut on the streaming service in December, will be based on DreamWorks Animation's coming movie "Turbo," about a snail who gains the power of super speed. The Netflix spinoff will be called "Turbo: F.A.S.T.," which stands for Fast Action Stunt Team.
Netflix is gambling that "Turbo" will be a hit when it arrives in theaters on July 19. Although DreamWorks Animation has high hopes for that movie, it's still anyone's guess how audiences will respond; the company's last film, "Rise of the Guardians," was a box office disappointment.
Ted Sarandos, Netflix's chief content officer, said in a statement that DreamWorks Animation had "a long track record of creating incredibly successful characters." DreamWorks Animation's chief executive, Jeffrey Katzenberg, never shy about making a hard sell, called the partnership "part of the television revolution."
A rival streaming service, Amazon's Prime Instant Video, is racing to prepare its own original series, and has five children's shows in development.
Netflix, which recently introduced the original series "House of Cards" to strong reviews from critics, has been working over the last several years to enhance its offerings for children. In 2011, it acquired the streaming rights to DreamWorks Animation's movies and television specials. New films from Disney, Pixar and Marvel will move from Starz to Netflix in late 2016, following a deal the streaming company made with the Walt Disney Co. in December.
Netflix said its members streamed more than 2 billion hours of children's content in 2012, taking care to note that it is "always commercial free." Netflix is also trying to enhance its appeal with multiple audience niches. A new horror series called "Hemlock Grove" is on the way, for instance. "Orange is the New Black," an original comedic drama from "Weeds" creator Jenji Kohan, is aimed at women.
Children's programming is particularly important to the company's growth plans. Children are avid streaming consumers, particularly overseas, and Netflix can pitch itself to parents as a commercial-free alternative to television. Cartoons are also less likely to appear on the pirated-content sites that compete with Netflix for viewers.
For DreamWorks Animation, the agreement is part of an effort to diversify into television both as a way to grow and to avoid the sharp ups and downs of the movie business. The company's shares rose 2.91 percent on Tuesday, to $16.63.
The company has two shows on Nickelodeon that are spinoffs of its "Madagascar" and "Kung Fu Panda" films; a third series built around "Monsters vs. Aliens" is in the works. DreamWorks Animation also has a series built around the film "How to Train Your Dragon" on the Cartoon Network, as well as a growing number of holiday-themed television specials.

News 12 at 11o'clock / Monday, March 4, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- What should be ice is now concrete at the James Brown Arena and a gaping hole exposing the problem.
"The ice won't properly freeze. The floor won't freeze. I think the last temperature reading I heard, it would get to 31 degrees, which usually our ice sits between 15 and 17 degrees," RiverHawks President and Head Coach Mark Richards said.
A leak in the floor of the JBA means the rest of this week's RiverHawks games will be played at the Augusta Ice Sports Center.
"If it's a physical game, it could get ugly quick," fan Dalton Day said.
He's not just talking about the action on the ice. With considerably less seating, that means not everyone can go.
"I'm sure other fans were hurt by it," he said.
On their official Facebook page, the team posted: "Due to continued problems with the ice ... requiring a complete system replacement ... capacity is limited to 400 persons."
That means only current season ticket holders and sponsors will have a chance at the first-come, first-served seats.
"It gets crowded quick," Day warned.
He plans on being one of those people in the stands.
"Lucky enough, I did have a sponsor offer me a ticket earlier, which was awesome. I grew up playing hockey since I was 16. Ended up getting hurt where I couldn't play anymore, so watching's really the only thing I have," Day said.
Coach Richards says he's looking forward to a packed house, and they'll make do with the new space, but it's something they don't want to do long term.
Instead, Richards says he'd like to see a long-term fix.
"Ultimately, they're gonna have to repair the floor at some point in time. A more permanent thing would be the best thing for our hockey club to know that we're protected," he said.
When News 12 asked if the JBA's decision will affect the team's decision whether or not to stay in Augusta, he responded with, "Well, it's hard to play without ice. I know that. So yeah, I guess, ultimately it will."
News 12 reached out to James Brown Arena administrators to find out what their long-term plans are but we could not get an answer.
Richards says the problems started with a leak in the floor, and when they dug down in the concrete, they found even more problems.
With only a couple more weeks left in the hockey season, the big question for the arena will be what to do to fix an expensive problem.

VIENNA - Officials with the Vienna Police Department are investigating an early morning breaking and entering attempt at a jewelry store.
Around 4 a.m. Tuesday, Mel's Diamond House owner Jean Ford said she received a phone call that someone had tried to enter the building at 2651 Grand Central Ave. by breaking a window.
"It seems they broke the window with a hammer, but we have cameras and anytime something happens a silent alarm is triggered to the police department," Ford said. "But when they broke the glass, our outside alarm went off and it seemed to have scared them away."
When the suspects ran, they left behind a backpack, hammer and cloth, which Ford said she believes was used to temper the sound of the window breaking.
"It doesn't look like they ever got inside the store, which is lucky," Ford said. "Other than my office being full of glass, it doesn't appear that anything was taken."
Sgt. Rod Shuman with the Vienna Police Department said the department is investigating the incident and looking for the perpetrators.
"I don't know if we will find them, but we are investigating," he said.
Shuman added it has been eight years since the last time Mel's Diamond House was broken into. At that time the thieves broke a front window and pulled items out through it.
"It was different this time and nothing was taken," he said.
In June 2006, three Detroit men were accused of breaking into the former Mel's Diamond House store in Marietta's Lafayette shopping center and leading officials on a high-speed chase into West Virginia.
All three were arrested on felony charges of breaking and entering and grand larceny in Ohio and felony charges of fleeing and eluding in West Virginia.
"These breaking and entries don't happen often," said Ford. "We feel we are very well blessed with the Vienna Police Department helping us."

President Obama has ruefully acknowledged that his own approval ratings rise and fall with the price at the pump. While he's enjoyed an uptick in his approval ratings recently, rising gas prices threaten to diminish the bounce he has received from an improving economy.
According to the Energy Information Administration, gas prices have risen 29 cents per gallon since December.
And, historically, U.S. gasoline prices are at their lowest in January and climb toward their highest in midsummer. This year started with the highest-ever January prices, and they're only going to soar from there.
"As gasoline prices increase, people feel less and less confident about the economy," says Chris Christopher, a senior economist at IHS Global Insight, a research and analysis firm. An IHS study concludes that each time gasoline prices pass a dollar threshhold — from $3.99 to $4 or from $4.99 to $5 — the consumer-confidence index drops 1.5 points.
For each 30-cent increase in gasoline prices above baseline projections, the firm found, President Obama will likely lose 1 percent of the vote.
Click through to read about and watch how Republicans are seizing on the rise in gas prices to criticize the president — and how Obama is attempting to spin the issue to his advantage.

A ghost with ears and a tail? Hmmm...something's fishy. Why, it's Bubble Puppy, all dressed up to celebrate Halloween with your little Guppy! Kids will be sure to get a giggle out of this fetching cupcake.
Weekdays on NICK
Spread a small dot of frosting on top of the thin spice cookies. Place a cupcake on top with the bottom of the cupcake facing up. Spread another dot of frosting on top of the cupcake and attach a doughnut hole. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes. Place the cupcakes in the freezer to set, about 15 minutes.
Spread some of the remaining frosting over the cupcake assembly to coat lightly. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.
Meanwhile roll out the prepared fondant in batches, using cornstarch to prevent sticking, to a 1/16-inch thickness. Cut out as many 4-inch circles as possible. (Using a small plate can be helpful here.) Repeat with the remaining fondant and cornstarch to make 12 circles.
Arrange the fondant circle on top of the lightly frosted cupcake. Make some ruffles around the base of the cupcake, leaving the top smooth. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes and fondant.
Cut twenty-four 3/4-inch triangles from the marshmallows as the ears. Cut twelve 1 1/2-inch strips from the marshmallows as the tails. Attach a tail marshmallow to the cookie under the fondant cover with a dot of frosting. Add two triangles on either side at the top of the cupcake as the ears with a dot of frosting. Roll out the soft caramels on a clean work surface. Cut the rolled caramels into the end of the tail pieces, ears, and dots. Attach with a dot of water to secure.
Use the edible black marker or food coloring to make the black eyes on the fondant.

(Boston, Revised 04/07/10) New England Law | Boston: In mid-January, CLSR fellow Adonia R. Simpson '09 served as an international observer at the trial of seven members of the Colombian military, who were charged with murdering the spouse of a prominent indigenous rights leader. On March 24, Ms. Simpson discussed her experiences at the trial, the conflict that has ravaged Colombia for more than 40 years, indigenous and gender rights issues, and the challenges the nation faces as it continues to transition from an inquisitorial to an adversarial legal system.
Ms. Simpson comments, "Colombia's internal conflict has made large-scale land displacements, murders, disappearances, and other human rights violations all too commonplace. A lack of accountability for these acts is of concern to both the Colombian and international communities."
She continued, "As an international observer for Rights & Democracy of Canada, I had the opportunity to travel to Popayán, Colombia, for two weeks. I worked with two other attorneys from Lawyers without Borders, Canada. The experience was extremely educational. I was immersed in not only the Colombian legal system and laws, but also its culture and political climate. The newly adopted adversarial system is much different, and at times more complex, than that of the United States and Canada. Additionally, the politics surrounding the trial has brought much attention from human and indigenous rights activists, both locally and internationally.
"I hope to return in May when the trial resumes to observe and report on the conclusion and result of the proceedings, and to do more observations of this nature in other nations."

Thomas Hart Benton on Tom Sawyer: Re-envisioning Twain in the 20th Century
Sunday, September 18, 2011
2:00pm @ Central Library
Already an established artist of worldwide fame, Missouri artist Thomas Hart Benton was a natural choice for the Limited Editions Club's illustrated version of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Likewise, the boy from Mark Twain's most accessible novel was a perfect subject for Benton, whose influence on the Regionalist movement emphasized a need for works that conveyed a uniquely American character. But Tom Sawyer presented a challenge as the artist strained to translate the humor and ease of the vernacular prose into a modern visual style. These competing goals prompted Benton to adopt a deceptively simple, gestural style for his illustrations that earned praise from readers as well as critical accolades.
Joan Stack is the curator of Art Collections for the State Historical Society of Missouri, which is home to the exhibit Mark Twain and Tom Benton: Pictures, Prose, and Song – on display at the Central Library in September 2011.

FILE - This Jan. 26, 2012 file photo shows, from left, Prince Jackson, Blanket Jackson and Paris Jackson after a hand and footprint ceremony honoring their father musician Michael Jackson in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. (AP Photo/Matt Sayles)
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A court-appointed attorney for Michael Jackson's children says a petition has been filed to appoint a temporary guardian.
Margaret Lodise, the guardian ad litem for Jackson's three children, says a petition to appoint Tito Jackson's son TJ as a temporary guardian has been filed in Los Angeles.
A request for an expedited hearing has been made, but it's uncertain a hearing will be held Wednesday. TJ Jackson is at a Los Angeles courthouse, along with attorneys for Jackson's estate.
The filing comes after days of turmoil in the Jackson family, with matriarch Katherine Jackson spending several days in Arizona out of contact with her grandchildren.
Katherine Jackson is the court-appointed guardian of her son Michael's three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket. The children have remained at the home they share with their grandmother in Calabasas.
The house was the scene of a family disturbance Monday that sheriff's deputies continue to investigate.

My relatives who have guns for hunting shared that the law in Ohio only allows to 3 bullets in the chamber of the gun when hunting deer. I went with friends to a firing range and shot several rounds with a pistol.

Sally worked as a secretary for many years at Marietta Memorial Hospital, Fairview Heights Elementary School and Marietta College as well as taking care of her family. In her free time, Sally was active in CCL, PTA, and bridge clubs. She loved to cross-stitch, knit, crochet, work cross word puzzles, bake, and especially enjoyed game shows. Sally and Bob were active members of Norwood United Methodist Church in Marietta before Bob took a position as pastor of St. John's Evangelical Church in Lowell.
Sally is survived by her three children, Kathy (Doak) Markley of Williamstown, David Schafer of Marietta, and Cindy Huck of Waterford. Her grandchildren include Amanda (Ryan) Langton of Naperville, Ill., Jessica Markley of Charleston, S.C., Matthew (Jessica) Huck of Marietta, Emily Markley of Alexandria, Va., Danielle Huck of Boaz, W.Va., Sara Huck of Marietta, and Ashleigh Huck of Marietta.

Timmy Wiggins is the Cardboard City homey, who we met on those recent shows with Cage and El-P. His group Mizery Crew also opened up for Sleep & i at one of the weirdest, rowdiest shows in recent memory last month.
I'll be opening up for him, DJ Chauncey, and the Mizery Crew at two shows this month to support the release of his mixtape.
Just to give you an idea of what kind of fucking madness we're anticipating here, this is footage from the last one of these shows in Bristol:

is Bristol rich town? I don't know if I've ever been there, except to drive through it...
Even if it is, the CC folk are always on some cutty, rowdy shit. That goes for the venue and the crowd as well. I expect the polar opposite of a rich town rap show at both of these.

definitely the coldest i have ever been at a show. i rapped with gloves on.
had we done the show outside, it might actually have been warmer. i'm amazed that anyone hung in audience-wise.
as i said from stage, shouts out to the cheap ass owner who kept the heat off with a club full of people in it. as i also said from stage he should suck cocks in hell. i hope to never ever play at Bogie's again. until i die.
other than that, fun night!

BITTERROOT WILL FOLLOW A HARD WINTER THIS YEAR The Salish call it, Spetlem, the Kootenai call it, Nepemcu, and both tribes and other northwestern Indians called the tiny bitterroot plant a welcome spring-time blessing. The bitterroot was the most welcomed and important of all plant foods to the tribes in this region. Important because of its abundance and food value and welcomed because it ripened at a time when the band's winter larders were depleted and other food was scarce. It was the first major food plant to ripen in the spring. It normally blossoms in mid-to late- May and is ready to be picked slightly before the pink flowers form. The bitterroot harvest was one of the main religious celebrations of the Salish. It'1 was both a sacrament to the spirits for safe-guarding the people through the long-bitter winter and a thanksgiving for the nourishing root crop. The blessing of the plant was considered so important that members of the band were forbidden to pick bitterroot for their own personal use until after the feast. Paul Mathias, a Kootenai from Elmo, explained that the bitterroot "had to be paid for" before it could be eaten. He said that the blessing ceremony paid the Bitterroot BITTERROOT Page 11 1976 TRIBAL OPERATIONS BUDGET SET AT $804,452 FLATHEAD TWO-YEAR OLD, ELROY NEUMAN Dixon: Citing inflation and the higher cost of operating and maintaining tribal programs, the Tribal Council, May 2, approved a record $804,452,00 budget for fiscal year 1976. That is $124,000.00 more than-was budgeted for the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. But councilman Bob McCrea, Dixon, who is Chairman of the Administration Committee, said that every penny of the new tab was justified and noted that "any cuts would reduce services to tribal members." McCrea also insisted that the new budget still allowed an August per-capita of a-round $600.00. But there was some opposition to the 1976 operations budget. Councilman Fred Whitworth, Arlee, called it "an extravagant slap in the face to tribal members". Councilman Tom "Bear-head" Swaney, St.Ignatius, pointed out that forestry revenue would be down for 1976 and urged a 20 per cent across the board cut in the new budget. Whitworth, Swaney and Tom Pablo, Hot Springs, voted against the measure. Voting in favor of the new budget were McCrea, Vic Stinger, Pablo, E.W. Mori-geau, Poison, Pat Lefthand, Elmo, and Council Chairman Harold Mitchell, Jr. Whitworth complained that the new budget would exceed the ten percent of the projected revenue for 1976. He noted that the people, two years ago, had voted to establish a ten per cent ceiling on tribal administration expenses and added that the council had agreed to stay within the ten per cent guidelines. "When are we going to start living up to our obligations and respect the wishes of the people?", he asked. Estimated income for the (Page?)

Some 21 areas were proposed including chemical and sediment pollution caused by the Flathead Irrigation Project-insufficient sewage facilities in several reservation towns... water quality problems a-rising from forestry...and the deteriorating water quality of Flathead Lake. The board...which includes Tribal Councilman, Tom "Bearhead" Swaney and Tribal Planner, Larry Hall... was formed last month to administer a $495,000.00 grant from the environmental protection agency.

He was the son of Mar-lene Neuman of Dixon and Les Peone of St. Ignatius. Searchers, which included Tribal Law and Order and Sanders County Search and Rescue as well as scores of Dixon Agency workers and residents plied the river bank for an hour before diver Harry Peterson recovered the boy's body. The body was found at 4:00 p.m., about one hour after the Neuman boy disappeared. The tragedy occured just as residents of the Dixon a-gency were preparing to build NEUMAN Page 6

OAKLAND -- A 54-year-old father and former freelance photographer for the Oakland Tribune was shot and killed while driving home in East Oakland on Friday night, and the intended target was critically wounded.
It is believed Lionel "Ray" Fluker was driving home from his gym shortly after 10 p.m. when a bullet -- intended for another man -- struck and killed him as he drove, police said.
The shooting happened at the Valero gas station at Seminary Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard, not far from where Fluker lived, police said, and he was found at Seminary and Monadnock Way. That station has been the scene of numerous shootings and killings over the past several years.
A 38-year-old man, believed by investigators to be the intended target, remained in critical condition Saturday afternoon at Highland Hospital. His name has not been released. He was given a ride to the hospital by someone at the scene.
Fluker was a peaceful and polite man in life, possessing boundless energy, an ear-to-ear grin and an ability to recall just about everyone's name, friends said Saturday. They described him as being as courteous to complete strangers as he was to his photography subjects and friends.
"Lionel worked for the Oakland Tribune over the years, initially as an unpaid intern, simply because he loved the field of photojournalism," said Nick Lammers, director of photography for the Bay Area News Group. "He later worked for (the newspaper) as a freelance photographer, and was a go-to guy that always worked hard making the best images he could."
He took photos for the Oakland Tribune on and off between 1995 and 2007, Lammers said.
Fluker had four siblings, but the oldest, Alex Fluker, a former professional television photographer, died in 2006 at the age of 60. It was that brother who taught Fluker about photography.
Fluker was a prolific photographer, documenting the East Bay from high school, college and professional sports to notables: Tina Turner, former Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown, Halle Berry, Jonathan Winters and Phyllis Diller, and musical groups TLC and 'N Sync.
When he wasn't behind the lens, he worked full time in the computer engineering field, his family said.
His true love was his 20-year-old daughter, Dominique.
He would often bring her to work with him when she was a young girl and talked constantly about her efforts on track and softball teams and later about her interests in becoming a ballet dancer, Lammers recalled.
"He was a loving man, very dedicated to his daughter," said Lammers. Fluker's daughter attends Spelman College in Atlanta and was not immediately available for comment.
"It is very sad to see such a hardworking, loving man taken away in such a senseless fashion. My heart goes out to his family and friends," said Lammers.
Fluker's younger sister, Nicole Marie, 46, of Hayward, called her brother an "extremely intelligent and articulate" man who loved to work out and ride his bike. He belonged to an Oakland gym and had a collection of bicycles, which he rode all around Oakland and nearby cities. His dedication to fitness started at Berkeley High School, where he played soccer, his sister said. He went on to serve in the U.S. Army when he was about 19, she said.
Fluker's killing is the second involving someone with ties to the Oakland Tribune shot to death in the city in recent years. Chauncey Bailey, who was the editor of the Oakland Post at the time of his death, was killed in August 2007 by an employee of Your Black Muslim Bakery, an organization he had been investigating for suspected criminal ties.
The killing of Fluker was the 25th homicide this year in Oakland. No suspects have been arrested and police do not have a motive for the shooting, police said.
There is a reward of up to $15,000 for information leading to the arrest of the shooter or shooters. Call police at 510-238-3821 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-2805.

1 tablespoon caramel ice-cream topping

As soon as potatoes are cool enough, peel them and place in a bowl.
Add cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla, while chocolate and caramel sauce.
Mix all together with either a mixer or food processor until smoothe. Taste mixture to see if sugar needs to be added.
Whip cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks are formed.
After potato mixture is cooled, gently fold in whipped cream until all combined.
Place in refrigerator until ready to be used.
Uses: Crumble ginger snap cookies and place a small amount in individual martini glasses, then cover with mousse. Shaved white chocolate on top will finish the dessert.

Liverpool Message Board
Welcome Luis Alberto
After about 2 weeks of chatter and the cat out of the bag, looks like we've confirmed our 3rd capture of the summer (with Mignolet seeming to be # 4), in Luis Alberto from Sevilla.
I'm pretty excited about this kid, and while he definitely needs to bulk up a bit, I said the same thing about Oscar, Coutinho and several others, so it's a matter of the summer and his class/skill taking over. His last season for Barca B was super impressive with 11 goals and 17 assists, so I see him as a direct competition for Coutinho (who won't lost his spot obviously), but also as a more central player since he has played striker and #10, where Philippe operates out wide quite comfortably.
The idea with Rodgers is to have 2 of everyone for every front position, so there's competition, depth, and fluidity, and while we still have a ways to go, especially with our # 7 a mystery, this whole shaping of the squad and philosophy is very clear and exciting. One of BR's very first comments when he was hired was: "I want goals from everywhere", and as he continues to bring in his style players, you can envision that. Now if we could only get this Mkhitaryan mess from Shakhtar Donetsk sorted out w/ 3rd party ownership.
Anyways, welcome Luis! YNWA, looking for exciting things this year and the future!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Yes the attacking positions from a competition point of view is turning out pretty good.
I agree with you on the bulking up - 6 weeks on the protein shakes and a few barbell curls will sort that out though! The lad does have impressive stats but as ever with foreigners, can they handle the pace of the game?
- 1 Reply to Loki
Well, nobody can say for sure, but playing at Barca B, meant he got the Barca training and foreign players are adapting better and better as time goes on, particularly of the Spanish / S. American variety..
As for the pace/physicality, I thought Oscar, De Gea, Ramires, Coutinho, Kagawa, Gaston, Pablo, etc etc would all struggle due to stature, and all not only proved that wrong, but were excellent in their respective roles/clubs..
I am sure most people have checked out the youtube clips but this boy can bang some stunning long range strikes! Luis Garcia the second!
- 1 Reply to Hobitez
He's what I personally would describe as a more "goal scoring" version of Coutinho, with the similar type of creativity and footwork, but better eye for goal. So, while people are constantly comparing Coutinho to Oscar and who's better, I'd say Alberto has the goals in his locker to match Oscar who is more of a scorer than provider. That said, 11 goals AND 17 assists is a great ratio for anyone, anywhere.. I suspect he'll play wide left alot, and center / 10, with Aspas taking wide right..
Now, if we could get around this debacle of ownership right for Henrikh Mkhitaryan, we'll be ready to rock and roll going forward, and just focus on solidifying the back and defensive midfield.

A cystectomy is a surgery to remove all or part of the bladder:
Reasons for a cystectomy include:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications, such as:
Previous surgery in the abdomen or pelvis, or
radiation therapy
to the area increases your risk of complications.
You may need to take antibiotics to prevent infection and laxatives to clean out your bowels.
The night before, you may be asked not to eat anything and to only drink clear liquids. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight or on the morning of the procedure. This includes avoiding clear liquids, coffee, tea, and water.
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
General anesthesia
is given before surgery. You will be asleep.
An incision will be made in the abdomen to expose the bladder. In a radical cystectomy, all blood vessels to the bladder will be cut. The bladder will then be removed along with nearby lymph nodes, part of the urethra, and nearby organs that may contain cancer cells. In men, the prostate and glands that help produce semen will also be removed. In women, the uterus, ovaries, and, sometimes, part of the vagina will be removed.
The doctor will also need to create a new way for urine to be passed out of the body. A new bladder may be built using pieces of intestine or an external bag may be attached to the abdomen.
In a partial cystectomy, only part of the bladder will be removed.
Either procedure can be done by laparoscopic or robotic-assisted laparoscopic techniques using a number of smaller incisions and a camera.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
About 3–6 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
The usual length of stay is 5-12 days. The specific length of time will depend on your condition and the reason for surgery. Your doctor may also choose to keep you longer if complications occur.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
You may have to restrict some of your activities while you recover. This may take 4-6 weeks. Home care may include:
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

For Linn County's voice in the Missouri Senate, a recent piece of legislation seeks to help Career and Technical Education students. Senator Brian Munzlinger (R) introduced Senate Bill 17 (SB 17), which will see discussion this Monday in committee in the Senate. This Bill seeks to form a Career and Technical Education (CTE) Board, which will work under DESE to govern CTE.
"This all goes back four years when I got complaints in my office about how Career and Technical was being treated by DESE," said Senator Munzlinger. "The complaints got worse and more frequent. My staff and I looked at ways we can help."
Sen. Munzlinger continued: "I filed the bill and found out that Oklahoma and Texas have program like this that work. When we started looking at DESE, some programs are outdated, the titles have not kept up with technology, but the CTE schools have."
This legislation was formulated with input from one of the nation's largest manufacturers. "I met with Boeing, one of Missouri's largest employers," said Sen. Munzlinger. "They told me that they can get all the people with four-year degrees they need, but they need people with some skills."
Career and Technical Education is the stock and trade of the Linn County Area Career and Technical Center. The formation of a governing board for CTE could surely affect the way the LCACTC works.
"The idea of a Career and Technology Education advisory board is not new and was in place in Missouri from the 1970's through the 1990's," said LCACTC Director Carey Smith. "The bill has just been introduced, and there are many questions to be answered. As a career center director, I am carefully following the bill and am anxious to see how things go in this legislative session."
Smith continued: "With or without the legislation, the number one priority of the Linn County Area Career and Technical Center is to continually work to fulfill our mission of 'partnering and educating all generations of our community for tomorrow's challenges.'"

Lol Sally you're still a December mummy at heart! If we didn't include the impatient December babies in here that decided to come in November instead (or even October in Lauras case!) then there'd be none left
Ahh not looking forward to the growth spurts! Has she passed it yet?
Claire it definitly has got easier for me! He was an angel in hospital but then didn't sleep too well when we got out but now he's only waking twice for his feed in the night which is good & he's going 3-4 hours in between feeds
I've only had one day of the baby blues! Had a little wobble and cry on the sofa one night but had a little cuddle with him and all was good again
Jewbag it may just be because she was early? My friends little girl was 3 weeks early and kept losing the weight she was putting on at first. She's a month old now and has stopped losing it & is putting it on nicely!
When Alfie falls asleep while feeding i just blow on his face which wakes him up, have to do it quite alot though cause he's always falling asleep! Then halfway through i change his nappy so that wakes him up and he takes more
Has anyone else given their little ones a dummy?
Alfie got one which really helps but i could scream at night when he cries every ten mins cause he dropped it
Posted: Sun Dec 20, 2009 9:49 am
Post subject:
Yep we are def coming out of it. She was waking 4 times in night for feed. Last night it was half one and half five! whooooooo. Lasted about 3 days, hard work.
We are using a dummy at night. At antenatal classes they said using one at night can reduce the risk of cot death, not a nice topic but that is current thinking.
Jew I think Laura had probs with her little girl not gaining weight but all is starting to work itself out. Mine was jaundiced after a couple of days and I was told not to let her go more than 4 hrs before feeding her, but I had same issue in that she wouldn't wake up. Thankfully it cleared up in a week. All the best xx

thanks girls .xxx
lisa i give jody a dummy and like you she kept droping it at night but i found answer . lol jody lays slightly on her side head always to one side i use a muslin square and tuck it down the side of her near dummy if it falls out it is on the muslin and goes straight back in her mouth hard to explain will get a pic of how it is next time she asleep lol .xxx

Ahh i was just gonna say Caytlyn looks so cute on your ticker pic so i'm gonna go have a nosey of her
Jewbag i think i know what you mean with the muslin cloth idea & it sounds really good! May give it a try tonight as Alfie often sleeps with his head to the left.
Yeah i heard it was supposed to help with SID but was advised not to use one untill he was a month old as it could cause nipple teat confusion and interfere with his feeding but we've had no probs at all!

hi all just seen this post ,everyone sounds like we all getting on well still cant belive mine is here at last what did everyone do whos bottle feeding do when there milk came in mines today and omg there are soooo hurty solid and massive for me holding him really hurts today , i havent gave a dummy yet but think im gonna give in as he keeps really trying to suck things between feeds x

My hv advised me to massage my boobs in shower if they filled up too much. I'm getting a lot of milk and they go hard and solid. It shouldn't encourage your milk supply if your only doing it in the shower or bath once a day. Also I believe if you get a build up of milk and don't do anything about it , it can cause mastitus. Hope that helps kel

There has been a lot of discussion in mainstream media recently about the rise in popularity of a garment called a "faja." Even the New York Times has published an article about the widespread wearing of these midsection shapers. But many of you may not be familiar with what this item actually is and does. The faja is a style of waist cincher popularized in South America. The word literally means belt or wrap and that is just what it does. It wraps around your midsection and reshapes the area. There are many different strengths and designs of fajas, giving strong and lighter amounts of compression to the parts of the body that they are worn over, but the one thing that all fajas share in common is that they trim and tone the tummy area. The vast majority of this style of shaper also includes closures such as hook-and-eyes so that you can reduce the size of the faja as your midsection sizes down over time.
But fajas are nothing new at Hourglass Angel. We are proud that so many of our long-time best sellers are best described as fajas. In fact, two of our most consistently popular and effective items are a part of this trend. Both the the SlimBand by Squeem and the SlimVest by Squeem cinch the waist and hail from below the equator. And of course, The Band by Flakisima is always a popular waist slimming option. And one of the newest names in the shapewear spotlight is the Leonisa brand. Both their Slimming Waist Cincher Shaper (018624) and their Slimming Waist Cincher with Latex by Leonisa (015695) offer a slimmer midsection with the Leonisa comfort the world is coming to depend on.
