Every once in a while we are lucky enough to meet someone who takes the can do spirit to a whole new level.
Last May, Bob Hughes attended our four-day Can Do Program in Vail for the second time. His sense of humor and overwhelmingly positive attitude became contagious. Whether he was telling stories of his five-day backpacking adventures in the Sierra Mountains or cracking jokes, he could bring a smile to a room full of people in an instant.
Bob was first diagnosed in 1988 when he was 32 years old. Like most, he went on quest to learn everything he could about multiple sclerosis. He found out about our Can Do Program in 1992 through a friend and decided to take a chance and travel to Vail to further his search for the best ways to manage his MS.
"I decided to take the bull by the horns and see how far he would throw me," he said.
As soon as Bob got to our Can Do Program, he knew he'd made the right choice: "When I first met Jimmie (Heuga), I was still struggling mentally and physically with managing my MS. He opened my eyes when he said, 'Wake up, Bob! There is still so much you can do!' And ever since then I've never looked back."
After returning home from the program, Bob's friends instantly noticed a new glow surrounding him.
"I know I realized there is so much that I still can do," he said.
Shortly after the program Bob flew out to California to complete a five-day backpacking trek throughout the Sierra Nevada Mountains with a group of adventurous people who were also living with a disability.
"I've always enjoyed nature and being athletic so this seemed like a perfect fit, I enjoyed it so much I went out and completed the trek again a few years later."
With so much that had changed in the MS care management field since 1992, Bob decided to attend our Can Do Program again in 2012.
"I looked at it as an opportunity to refresh my can do spirit and an opportunity to meet new people and share my experiences and learn from theirs," he said.
Once again, the program didn't disappoint and it couldn't have come at a better time.
This past December, Bob suffered a stroke. The recovery process is a long and hard one that is only made more difficult by his MS.
"Right after the stroke I had no movement of my left arm," he said. "I've been working hard and am now able to move it and pick things up. The can-do spirit I gained from the program has played a huge role in my recovery process. I feel blessed to have been instilled with the can-do spirit."
Bob is doing much better today. However, he is still working his way through the recovery process and takes it one day at a time.
It's amazing to meet someone who has been through so much, but who still keeps a positive outlook on life and cares so much for those around him.
We all have someone in our life like Bob who can light up a room by just walking in. So next time you see your "Bob," be sure to say thanks. We thank you, Bob, for never giving up and spreading your can-do spirit to everyone you meet!
A national nonprofit organization based in Edwards, Can Do Multiple Sclerosis is an innovative provider of lifestyle empowerment programs that empower people with MS and their support partners to transform and improve their quality of life.
For more information, visit the organization's website at www.mscando.org or call 970-926-1290.
Scott Robinson is the marketing coordinator for Can Do Multiple Sclerosis.

Montevallo's late jumper beats Tigers
Published: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 12:03 a.m.
LIVINGSTON | Alex Strickland's jumper in the paint with 5.8 seconds left lifted Montevallo to a 59-58 women's basketball victory over the University of West Alabama at Pruitt Hall on the UWA campus Saturday.
Montevallo (5-4) led 30-21 at the half, one of two nine-point leads by the Falcons in the game. UWA (4-5) bounced back from a 32 percent shooting performance in the first half to take a 52-50 lead with 5:22 left to play.
"We didn't shoot or rebound well in the first half, but we kept ourselves in the game by guarding people pretty well," UWA coach Craig Roden said. "Our play on defense brought us back from being down nine on two different occasions."
The Falcons responded by going up 56-52 with 2:38 left before Jamie Gunter's runner and a jumper by Tiarra Pritchett with 51 seconds left gave West Alabama a 58-57 lead.
Synthea Reed missed a pair of free throws that may have put the game away for the Tigers with 22.8 seconds to play. UWA made just two of eight free throw attempts in the last 4:27 of the game and converted only 12 of 22 for the game.
"We got the stops we needed and then couldn't convert on the other end," Roden said. "We didn't convert free throws when we really needed them down the stretch."
Alexsis Brown and Taylor Beverly scored 15 points each to led Montevallo scoring.
Brittany Weathers scored 25 points for West Alabama to lead all scorers. Gunter scored 12. Reed collected nine rebounds and blocked four shots for UWA.
The Tigers take the week off for final exams and head to Selma University on Dec. 17. Montevallo is host to Columbus State on Dec. 15.

- BART strike: Marathon negotiations conclude after nearly 14 hours; talks to resume Sunday
BART trains will almost certainly continue to roll through at least mid-October after Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday announced he would ban rail employees from striking for the next two months.
The governor's decision to request a judge to order a 60-day "cooling-off" period on Sunday if an agreement is not reached by then would avert another rail shutdown, though the delay may simply push the strike to the busier fall commute period. Brown's ruling came the same day his investigative panel issued a report that outlined just how far apart the two sides remain.
"I urge all parties to think of the public and resolve this matter without delay," Brown said in a statement Friday afternoon.
Brown beat BART's unions to the punch, releasing his verdict just hours before the unions were expected to issue a 48-hour notice of a strike Monday morning. The early decision should eliminate the late-night Sunday drama that has twice this summer kept commuters on pins and needles awaiting word of whether trains will run for the morning rush hour.
Still, negotiations were scheduled to continue through Sunday night, and BART said it was willing to move toward a compromise as long as the unions were. Heading into Friday, both sides remained tens of millions of dollars apart on the key issues of pay and benefits. Friday's talks were again characterized by both sides as moving "slowly."
A San Francisco Superior Court room will stage a rare weekend hearing Sunday at 9 a.m. to hear the state's argument for a cool-down, though it is considered routine. Attorney General Kamala Harris' office filed the application seeking the strike delay, saying it would "irreparably injure" Bay Area residents.
Judge Curtis Karnow is expected to issue the strike postponement because the law requires Brown simply to prove that a train stoppage "will significantly disrupt public transportation services and endanger the public's health, safety, or welfare." Previous governors are five-for-five using this strategy, and union lawyers are not even expected to oppose the move.
Although it was no surprise, Brown's decision was a victory for management, which asked the governor for the truce after unions again threatened to strike a week ago.
"It guarantees train service, which is the most important thing for the public," BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost said. Still, "we'll be here all weekend as we try to negotiate an agreement by Sunday evening. BART is prepared to show movement, but we need to make sure there is compromise going in both directions."
The unions representing 2,300 blue-collar workers wanted Brown to stay out of the fight, hoping a strike might persuade management to cave.
"We do not want to put the public in a 60-day cooling-off period. We feel a deal can be made now given the information and the resources that BART has," Antonette Bryant, president of the local Amalgamated Transit Union, said Friday. "There's no need to drag this out and hold the public hostage."
Josie Mooney, chief negotiator for the local Service Employees International Union, said the governor's early decision removes the "pressure necessary to arrive at a deal" this weekend.
"We're hoping that in spite of both parties knowing that the governor will seek this injunction potentially on Sunday morning that both parties continue to be motivated to achieve an agreement so that there is no threat of a strike in October," Mooney said.
After exhausting the full two-month delay, no one outside the talks -- not even Brown -- could stop the strike come Oct. 11, during a month when BART's ridership typically peaks.
From 1982 to 2007, governors called for cooling-off periods at least 11 times, including five to prevent BART shutdowns. The only time a strike happened anyway was in 1997, when BART workers staged a six-day walkout after the two-month period ended.
The ruling came five days after Brown issued a seven-day strike delay while he formed a three-member fact-finding panel to investigate the negotiations, a legally required step before the truce can be declared. That move, which staved off a strike last week, set up another Sunday night deadline to avoid a second work stoppage following a 4½-day rail shutdown that began July 1.
In its report, the fact-finding panel -- facing the simple task of concluding whether a BART shutdown would be bad for the Bay Area -- said a rail strike would hurt the Bay Area economy, noting that some transit-dependent riders would be stranded and the region's roads would be jammed, causing more accidents and slowing emergency vehicles.
The panel members could not issue recommendations but outlined each sides' latest stances, which showed, yet again, that a wide gap exists between them.
"The board concludes that a strike will cause significant harm to the public's health, safety, and welfare," the board said in its eight-page report Friday, satisfying the legal requirement to officially declare the strike a problem worth the governor's intervention under an obscure law that covers public transportation labor disputes.

Independence Day
Enjoy founders' gift of liberty
July 4, 2013
The grill is fired up and ready for the hamburgers and hot dogs. The fireworks are set and only await the evening sky to show off their colorful and eye-popping display....
You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics, where kids throw Frisbees, and the potato salad, hot dogs, and hamburgers gets eaten.
Have a happy and safe 4th of July!

While the Declaration of Independence was the document that started this journey, the Constitution of the United States of America is the document that established the states as a great nation.
Sadly, radicals from both parties replace that document with one of their choosing and ignore our rights when it suits them. If we do not get back to our Constitution, the experiment will eventually fail.

Spann has tips for storm survival
Meteorologist advises multiple warning systems
Published: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 11:33 p.m.
The lessons of the April 27, 2011, tornado include that multiple forms of weather warnings, including a weather radio, work best and that outdoor warning sirens are not dependable, James Spann said Thursday night.
"If you depend on sirens as your first line of warning, you have no hope," the ABC 33/40 meteorologist told couple of hundred people at Holt High School.
Spann spoke to the crowd as part of his annual severe weather awareness tour. During his presentation, he showed videos of damage from the April 27, 2011, tornadoes and the twister that hit Clay on Jan. 23, 2012. If people would not have depended on outdoor sirens to warn them, there may have been fewer deaths from those tornadoes, Spann said.
"Sirens are a technology from World War I," Spann said. "Why in the world, in 2013, do we keep relying on these things? How many people, in Alberta, in Holt, and in Peterson, would be alive today if they didn't depend on a siren?"
Instead, people should have multiple types of warning systems, including a weather radio and possibly a weather radio app on a smartphone, he said. Other forms can include social media, AM/FM radio and TV.
Video on TV of storms is a powerful tool, he added. While people may not react to the picture of the weather radar, if they have a video of the tornado, like they did in Tuscaloosa on April 27, 2011, people react and get to a safe place, he said.
On April 27, 2011, 62 tornadoes killed 252 people in Alabama.
"It never should have been that high; that's absolutely unacceptable," Spann said. "There were way too many funerals on my watch."
That storm was also a once-in-a-generation event, he said. Still, people need to prepare, in case of serious weather.
"Having a readiness kit is crucial," Spann said.
Weather readiness kits should include helmets — bike helmets or batting helmets qualify — an air horn or whistle, shoes and a first aid kit, Spann said.
Ashley Brand, weekend meteorologist at ABC 33/40, also suggested that people pack an extra change of clothes. Those with young children should also pack diapers and perhaps a favorite stuffed animal or toy.
"Put those things in a grab bag in case something goes wrong," Brand said. "You can be OK. You've just got to pay attention to the forecast."
During Thursday's event, Spann and his team of meteorologists showed videos of the April 27, 2011, tornado as it hit Tuscaloosa, followed by an aerial video of the damage in Tuscaloosa the day after.
Gasps could be heard in the audience as people pointed to screen, pointing out areas they knew, possibly areas where they had lived. Spann told the audience he couldn't watch the video.
"This is unbelievable; I still can't believe this happened," Spann said.
Still, it's important to learn something from that storm, he told the audience.
"We are going to be better and stronger the next time we have a tornado outbreak, but you have to be better, too," Spann told the crowd.
The 16th annual severe weather awareness tour will make five other stops this month, including Jasper, Clanton, Ohatchee and Clay.

From the Medical Directors - Peer Review Committee Up and Running
The MDPRC consists of voluntary medical staff physicians from multiple disciplines. The MDPRC will be able to provide an environment to evaluate physician performance that is completely confidential, unbiased, and focused on performance with a positive, collegial approach. Individual specialty input will also be sought when necessary. The MDPRC will be able to provide recommendations to the Medical Executive Committee (MEC) as needed, as well as provide a link to the hospital quality improvement structure to assist in fixing process and systems issues. It should be noted that this committee does not replace current individual department patient review committees. Individual department committees currently function with variable results; some departments are without any patient review committees. It would be our hope that the MDPRC could assist all departments in creating their own patient review committee if interested. Physicians can refer cases to the MDPRC via their department patient review committee chairs, their department chairs, or one of the medical staff directors. More details can be found within the charter recently accepted at MEC. Finally, I want to introduce Dr. Quinn Holzheimer as the first chair of the MDPRC. He has served as the chair of the ED Patient Review Committee, and will provide needed leadership to the committee.

St. Mary's New EVP/COO is Familiar Face Kristin McManmon returns to St. Mary's Hospital on Sept. 24 to begin a new role as Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer.
Earlier this year, Kristin left her position as St. Mary's Vice President of Operations to accept a new position as Vice President for Heart, Vascular and Surgical Services for OhioHealth's Riverside Methodist Hospital.Kristin has a long history with SSM Health Care (SSMHC). Prior to coming to St. Mary's, Madison, in 2007, she held administrative positions in SSMHC hospitals in St. Louis and Baraboo for 19 years. She holds a master's degree in health care administration from St. Louis University and is a licensed nursing home administrator. While at St. Mary's, she became board certified in health care management as an American College of Healthcare Executives Fellow (FACHE). Among her other St. Mary's accomplishments is completion of the most extensive expansion in St. Mary's history, opened in 2008. Kristin also provided oversight for construction of the new Family Care Suites and Physician Resource Center, led planning for the Ronald McDonald Family Room scheduled to open this fall, managed significant growth for our cardiac program and co-led the regional SSM Health Care of Wisconsin Forward Award application process last year.Kristin succeeds Jon Rozenfeld, whose last day was August 28. He assumed a new position in the Chicago area."Kristin's St. Mary's experience and proven leadership will help us maintain our momentum and smoothly move through this transition during this time of significant change," says President Frank Byrne, MD. "This is a great opportunity for St. Mary's and a well-deserved promotion for Kristin. Please join me in welcoming her back to St. Mary's."
Dean & St. Mary's: An ACO Before ACOs were CoolIt's been 100 years in the making, and now Dean Clinic and St. Mary's Hospital have been officially selected as an Accountable Care Organization (ACO). That's the formal definition of an integrated model of care that stems from doctors, hospitals and insurers all working together to improve patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary costs.Dean Clinic and St. Mary's Hospital have collaborated for a century, and their ownership of and partnership with Dean Health Plan date back to 1995, when SSM Health Care of Wisconsin purchased a 47 percent share of the health insurance plan. Legally, the new ACO will be Dean Clinic & St. Mary's Hospital ACO, LLC."In many aspects, we were already delivering on the principles and benefits of this value-based model," explains President Dr. Frank Byrne. By being recognized as an ACO, Dean & St. Mary's is now one of 116 ACOs in the Shared Savings Program developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as part of the health care reform legislation. ACOs will be rewarded for demonstrated commitment to lowering health care costs while providing quality care. It is designed to focus on Medicare patients and then filter into better care delivery for all patients for years to come.Furthermore, Dean & St. Mary's ACO is among just five that have elected to be part of the more rigorous program that shares savings as well as risks.BACK TO TOP
Hospital's New 3T Skyra MRI on Display in Medical Imaging Department The MRI suite at St. Mary's Hospital is now scanning patients with a new 3T magnet. Turville Bay MRI announces its new Siemen's 3T Skyra magnet, an addition to the 1.5T scanner at the hospital. A complete remodeling of the existing suite is underway. Construction of the new patient waiting area and dressing room for outpatients is complete and the new control room will be finished in September. An Open House for all St. Mary's healthcare professionals is planned for Tuesday, Sept. 25, from noon until 6 p.m. with a complete announcement pending. The Skyra, part of a new generation of MRI magnets, gives physicians an additional option when ordering images. New coil technology supplies higher resolution capability than previous 3T magnets and innovative coil architecture unlocks higher element configurations and higher SNR. Siemens new "True Form" Design delivers 50 x 50 x 45 cm FoV (Field of View) images that are clear to the edges with no signal drop off. Skyra has 4G flexibility, with up to 28 channels. The combination of technologies means less time in the magnet for patients, especially important for those with kyphosis, back pain, respiratory problems and anxiety. The 70 cm Open Bore and 173 cm Ultra Short Bore provide an easier imaging experience for larger patients and those dependent on medical equipment. The 3T magnet is fully operational and is now serving inpatients as well as outpatients. Follow this link to an informative video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgeDJtdSukk. For more information regarding this new technology, please contact Mike Graffin, MRI Manager, at 258-7820.

ANTIOCH -- Ed Montanez has hundreds of pieces of San Francisco 49ers memorabilia, but there is one item missing from his extensive collection.
Actually, two, if Sunday's game goes the way he hopes.
The 81-year-old's gold satin 49ers jacket is monogrammed with his name and the years and dates of four of the five team Super Bowl victories underneath. He wants embroidering for not only the 1995 Super Bowl win, but a sixth title.
"There's no doubt in my mind that we're going to beat Baltimore," Montanez said in his Antioch home Wednesday. "We've been waiting to get that sixth trophy for a long time."
The 49ers play the Baltimore Ravens at 3:30 p.m. Sunday in Super Bowl XLVII.
Preparing for the team's first Super Bowl appearance in 18 years reminds Montanez, a 49ers fan since 1946, about attending the team's first championship in 1982.
"There used to be lotteries for season ticket holders for Super Bowl tickets, but I didn't get them," he said. "So, we took a chance."
Montanez and a buddy made the 2,400-mile flight to Pontiac, Mich., but on the way were forced to land in Toledo, Ohio, because of the severe winter weather and had to rent a car to get to the game.
"I remember a lot of the motels wouldn't give us a room because we had our 49ers gear on and Cincinnati was the team we were playing," Montanez said.
Once they got to the game, Montanez said they sneaked into the game by paying the turnstile attendant at the Pontiac Silverdome $100.
"They were only taking big bills," he said.
Once inside, they had to mingle amid the crowd to find empty seats. Eventually, they bartered their way into decent seats.
As for the game itself -- a 26-21 Niners' victory over the Bengals -- Montanez said he vividly remembers a goal-line stand by the defense in the third quarter to keep the lead. One particular play stands out: Linebacker Dan Bunz, on a swing pass, "stood up" the Bengals running back to keep him from the end zone.
"To see them win that game, after all those years, was really exciting," Montanez said. "I remember all the Cincinnati fans in our hotel telling us we got lucky."
The celebration ended up going well into the next morning, so much so that they missed their flight home, Montanez said. They had to pay $100 more to catch a later flight, but wound up on the same flight back to San Francisco as the players' wives, he said.
Montanez bought copies of the Cincinnati and Dallas newspapers on the way home, ironically the cities of the two teams the 49ers defeated to win the Super Bowl.
Montanez, a retired 36-year U.S. Steel steelworker who also worked for 15 years at the Concord Pavilion, proudly says he went to Pittsburg High School with Hall of Fame 49ers running back John Henry Johnson, attended games at Kezar Stadium and was a season-ticket holder for nearly four decades until three years ago. His most vivid memories of the team are from the 1980s and the Bill Walsh-Joe Montana era, including seeing "The Catch," the iconic pass from Joe Montana to Dwight Clark in the 1982 NFC Championship.
"That play right there started our dynasty," Montanez said.
The Niner fan's Antioch home is filled with 49ers trinkets. His porch has a 49ers "Faithful flag," while his 11-year-old dog Buddy wears a 49ers scarf. The mantle over his brick fireplace is festooned with 49ers framed posters, pictures, encased autographed footballs, beer steins, action figures and die-cast trucks. Santa Claus and Mickey Mouse figurines both sport the red oval "SF" logo, while a specialty coffee can includes a picture of Montana.
The rarest piece of memorabilia, he said, is probably a practice helmet from 1946 that he received watching a scrimmage at Saint Mary's College.
Daughter Linda Steiner says some 49ers Christmas ornaments and red and gold tinsel were kept up in the house because the team is winning.
Although Montanez has slowed down a little bit, listening to sports radio and following the team "keeps him sharp," she said.
"Some of the things he remembers about the games and players is incredible," Steiner said.
As for current players, Montanez says he likes watching Frank Gore.
"He's a good running back and plays hard. He really wants to get a ring," he said.

So here is the last in my series of ice cream posts covering the basic flavours. I just served it to my non-vegan (but vegan friendly) parents and they gave it major thumbs up. Again, this recipe is just what I did--feel free to replace and experiment to fit your lifestyle and dietary needs. Next, I would like to explore the world of fruit sorbets and sherbets. I will also get back to posting actual food recipes lest you think that all we do here is sit around gorging on ice cream.
- 2 cups soy milk
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1 cup sugar (probably could be reduced to 3/4 cup)
- 2 tbsp arrowroot
- 1 can coconut milk, stored in a cool place
- soy creamer, or soy milk
1. Place soy milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Slit vanilla bean down the middle and scrape out the insides into the soy milk. Add the bean as well and simmer for about 20 mins (I don't think any longer will add any more vanilla flavour).
2. After 20 mins the milk will have reduced by about 1/2 cup. Measure and bring liquid back to 2 cups. Add sugar and bring to steaming over medium heat.
3. While soy milk is heating back up, skim coconut cream from the coconut milk and add enough soy creamer (or milk) to bring the volume to 2 cups. Whisk smooth, then take about 1/2 cup of the mixture and mix with the arrowroot, making sure it is totally dissolved.
4. When the milk is steaming, slowly whisk in arrowroot mixture and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is thick and glossy. Whisk in coconut mixture. It should still be glossy--if not, cook until it is.
5. Remove from heat and let cool. When cool, remove vanilla bean, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
6. Make ice cream according to the directions that came with your maker.
- replace vanilla bean with 2 tsp vanilla extract (the real stuff). Skip steps 1 and 2, and add the vanilla at the end with the coconut cream.
COOKIES n' CREAM VARIATION
- crumble 12 chocolate sandwich cookies and add to mixture during the final three to four turns of the machine. You can probably get away with reducing the vanilla to 1 tsp, too.

does this actually have a coconut flavor or is the coconut mixed enough that is relatively tasteless? I ask because I don't like coconut flavor but your ice cream looks so good I want to try it. Thanks!

If you can't eat soy, do you think that the ice cream would work with almond milk? My friend cannot have dairy or soy currently due to a combination of breastfeeding (baby's sensitivities to dairy) and mom's sensitivities to soy. Thanks!

I think almond milk would be fine--maybe even better than soy.

It's not overly coconuty, I think. The flavour is there, but it's not like eating pina colada ice cream.

How much soy milk does this need?
This looks so delicious I can't wait to try it!
- August 1, 2009 at 5:32 AM
- Vegan Dad said...
You need 4 cups of liquid in total. The first 2 cups of soy milk get heated with the arrowroot. You then get the coconut cream (about a cup) and add soy milk until you get 2 cups. You mix it all together to get 4 cups of liquid.

I am a little unsure as to the coconut adding. Do you just add the skimmed off coconut cream or just the remaining milk?

Did you use just regular Silk style sweetened soy beverege here or do you usually use the unsweetened milk?

I accidentally put in 3 tbsp of arrowroot the other day (I make this recipe all the time) and it made it even ice creamier! The before mixture looks like pudding but after going thru the ice cream maker it is awesome.

I used the base, less most of the vanilla, to make peppermint chocolate chip ice cream... 1 1/2 tsp of peppermint extract, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 6 drops green food colour, 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. DREAMY :)

STOCKTON - Police are looking for two suspects - a heavyset woman and a man missing a front tooth - following a gunpoint robbery Sunday afternoon near Oak Park.
According to police, the 43-year-old male victim first was confronted about 1:22 p.m. when the robbers pulled up to him in a brown vehicle in the 600 block of East Alpine Avenue. The male robber brandished a .38-caliber revolver and grabbed the brown leather purse of the victim's wife.
The heavy-set woman, who was the driver, was believed to be in her 20s. The man with the gun and the missing tooth was described as a 6-foot, 240-pound Latino male about 25- to 30-years-old.

People that believe in the option to choose are obviously pro-choice when it comes to abortion.
I have a scenario:
Your 12 year old daughter is pregnant, wants to keep the baby and does not agree with adoption or abortion (for the sake of the debate, the boy who impregnated her is the same age). You would be raising this baby if she had it.
Being a young minor with only 12 years of life experience, no ability to start working or making money, she has no way of caring for this child. Do you just "strongly suggest" the option of abortion or adoption? Force her to to do one or the other, or accept that you now have a grandchild you will be caring for for the next however many years?

THE HUNTING MONTH Two years of negotiation yield settlement of Crow Creek damage A settlement has been reached between the Tribes and the BIA in the Crow Creek de-watering case. The BIA has agreed to mitigate damage done to the Crow Creek fishery system with a small cash payment to the Tribes and a five-year fish restocking and rehabilitation plan that will also prevent fish from getting into the canal system in the area. At issue were two instances in 1984 when Crow Creek, southwest of Ronan, was de-watered by local managers of the Flathead Indian Irrigation Project. The project, when it began repairs to the Crow Dam, dried up Crow Creek twice, without notifying the Tribes, according to John Carter, a Tribal attorney. At a result, the fish population in Crow, and the environment that supported it, were seriously damaged. The Tribes filed a claim against FIIP and its parent agency, the BIA. After two years of negotiation, during which both FIIP and the BIA's Flathead Agency underwent reorganization, a settlement was reached. "It's a creative settlement," Carter said, "in that the system itself will benefit directly." The BIA acknow-edged its error and agreed with a plan that's better than "just throwing money at the problem", he said. The problem didn't end up in court either, he added. The Crow situation is just one FIIP The Tribes plans to file an appeal to a decision from a federal judge that negated minimum in-stream flows established by the BIA for 1986. The flows were challenged by irrigators who said their interests hadn't been taken into consideration this summer. Federal judge Charles C. Lovell agreed with the irrigators. troublespot. A larger issue is the controversy caused by the assertion of many - irrigators and past project managers ~ that the system's main responsibility is to its farming and ranching water users, most of who are non- Indians. The Tribes counters that assertion by pointing to the Hell Gate Treaty and its fishing rights provisions. The Tribes also owns most of the land used by the irrigation system. Water rights are another consideration. By agreeing to the five-year restocking and "rehab" plan, the BIA acknowledged its responsibility to the Reservation fish population and the environment, Carter pointed out. He added that the Tribes' current involvement with FIIP and the BIA over environmental issues isn't new, as some might think. He said he's found correspondence from the 1930's where the Tribal Council asked the project to install screens on its canals as a fish-protection measure. Last year, the judge agreed with the Tribes when it sued the BIA, which is in charge of the Flathead irrigation system, for ignoring fisheries' needs when delivering irrigation water. More details about the Tribal appeal will be made public in the coming weeks. Tribes to appeal in-stream flow ruling

Maybe I'm missing a step somewhere, but the snapshot build doesn't seem to be working for me.
I've downloaded the new .jar file as instructed and renamed it to pms.jar. I've removed the old pms-1.80.0.jar file and replaced it the new file pms.jar but I STILL can't get it to work.
Really REALLY frustrating.
FWIW, I'm running OSX 10.8.3 on my MacBook Pro and PMS only started having a problem since doing an update...

Pain Management Health Center
50% of Doctors Prescribe Placebos
Oct. 23, 2008 -- More than half of doctors offer fake prescriptions to make patients feel better -- and that's OK, most doctors say.
The findings come from a survey of 679 internists and rheumatologists. Doctors in these specialties often see patients with chronic illnesses or chronic pains that are difficult, if not impossible, to cure. Sometimes fake medicine -- placebos -- make such patients feel better.
Fake drugs can have very real benefits. It's called the placebo effect. In clinical trials, many patients who receive placebos do better than real-world patients who get no treatment at all, notes study researcher Jon C. Tilburt, MD.
"Twenty to thirty percent of the benefit seen in rheumatism drug studies are due to the placebo effect. Real changes in health go along with the belief that patients will get better," Tilburt tells WebMD.
Tilburt and colleagues asked the doctors a series of questions, each a bit more blunt than the last:
- If a clinical trial showed a sugar pill was better than no treatment for fibromyalgia, would you recommend sugar pills to fibromyalgia patients? Yes, 58% of the doctors said.
- Do you ever actually recommend treatments primarily to enhance a patient's expectations? Yes, 80% of the doctors said.
- In the last year, did you recommend a placebo treatment to a patient? Yes, 55% of the doctors said.
What did the doctors actually tell their patients? Over two-thirds of those who prescribed placebos told patients they were getting "medicine not typically used for your condition but which might benefit you."
Is it "appropriate" to fool patients this way? Yes, 62% of the doctors said.
"I don't think doctors have anything but the patients' best interest in mind when they give a placebo prescription," says Tilburt. "They are thinking about both the physical and psychological well-being of the patient."
The hard-to-accept truth is that doctors don't have proven treatments for many of the ills that plague their patients.
"With untreatable conditions or chronic conditions when we have run out of treatments, doctors are willing to try virtually anything -- if they are convinced it is safe -- to make the patient feel better, even if the mechanism is a psychological mechanism," Tilburt says.

OAKLAND -- With the visions of traffic carmageddon in the rear view mirror and the bridge free and clear of those pesky cars, crews got to work in earnest Thursday and plan to keep it going over the long holiday weekend.
The sounds of nonstop traffic was replaced by the deafening sounds of dump and demolition trucks that are ripping up and repaving asphalt to align the new eastern span with the toll plaza in Oakland and at Yerba Buena Island, where it will connect with the western span.
By Thursday afternoon the crews had installed the polyester overlay on the upper deck, and started the overlay on the lower deck. They were 65 percent done demolishing old the old eastbound deck to make room for new lanes and bike path.
"We are on schedule and there is nothing to indicate we will miss the 5 a.m. Tuesday opening," said Bay Bridge spokesman Andrew Gordon.
The five-day bridge shutdown began at 8 p.m. Wednesday and is scheduled to end at 5 a.m. Tuesday, with the possibility of a Monday opening if work is finished early. On Wednesday, motorists crossed the existing eastern span, which opened in 1936, for the final time. Many posted nostalgic messages to social media, along with pictures of their final trip.
During the five-day closure about 3,000 truckloads of ripped-up asphalt will be carted off the bridge as 2,000 truckloads of new asphalt will be brought in and used to repave sections of the bridge. In all, 84,000 tons of asphalt will be trucked out, and 56,000 tons of asphalt trucked in.
Thursday was also a time for bridge engineers to take reporters out for a walk on the old eastern span and talk about how they plan to dismantle the cantilevered structure covered in layers and layers of lead paint.
A few of those engineers even got a little misty-eyed.
"When you get out here and you look at what the engineers of the 1930s did with slide rules, paper and pencils, you realize this bridge was a true marvel," said Caltrans engineer Mike Whiteside, who has worked on the new Bay Bridge project for the past 16 years. "It's hard to think that it will gone in a few years."
Preparation for the $240 million deconstruction began months ago as engineers and contractors contemplated how to take down a bridge built with fatigued World War I-era steel without killing anyone or dropping the lead-painted pieces into the bay, and do it before the Big One hits.
The 50 million pound steel cantilevered section near Yerba Buena Island, in particular, is very close to the new span and it blocks completion of the new bike and pedestrian path.
The old steel truss bridge is like a cocked bow and arrow, explained Caltrans bridge engineer Brian Maroney. Its pieces push and pull on each other at strategic points. Sever the wrong beam, and it could trigger a catastrophic failure that could kill people and pollute the bay.
As a result, the bridge must be dismantled in the precise opposite order in which it was erected, said bridge consulting engineer Sajid Abbas with TY Lin International.
"Get it wrong and there could be cascading failures," Abbas said.
What wasn't a failure was Thursday's commute without a Bay Bridge to cross. Whether by sea, by train or by car, Bay Area commuters had little yet to complain about on the first morning of the five-day closure.
Morning commute traffic was sluggish in some areas, but officials said there were no delays that could be directly tied to the closure.
BART reported an increase in ridership, but commuters in Walnut Creek, San Francisco and Oakland said it was difficult to tell if trains were more crammed than usual. And at the ferry terminal in Oakland's Jack London Square, riders said the lines looked a little longer, but not nearly as long as during this summer's BART strike.
"It's not that bad," said Monroe Hatch, 52, who was behind about two dozen people waiting for a boat to arrive. His commute from Walnut Creek to the ferry terminal? "Piece of cake on Highway 24 -- it was empty."
Through 10 a.m. Thursday, BART reported having 30,682 more riders than during that same time frame a year ago. There were 154,314 riders total between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m.
BART officials reported that trains were running on time, though some riders, such as Oakland's Craig McKey reported minor delays on his trip from the East Bay to San Francisco.
"That line usually always has timing issues so I don't know if the rider increase was to blame," McKey said. "Everyone seemed to make sure to make room for fellow passengers boarding when they could."
Concord's Mike Tiktinsky usually takes the 5:12 train from the Concord BART station to his job in downtown San Francisco. On Thursday morning he was on the 6:45.
"This isn't my normal time," he said, surveying the crowd on the platform, "but this is a lot (of people). It's more than I'd see at 5:12."
For daily BART rider Todd Clark, it felt "like just another day." He added, "I think they picked the right time to do it," he said of the Bay Bridge closure.
On the highways, traffic slowed on northbound Interstate 880, westbound Interstate 80 and the San Mateo Bridge, where minor accidents occurred earlier in the morning, according to the CHP. But CHP Officer Sam Morgan said nothing was unusual about the traffic.
"Sometimes there's a little more drama injected than reality," Morgan said of predictions before the bridge closure.
Daniel McMenamin, who commutes from his home in Berkeley across the San Mateo Bridge, said it took him an extra 30 minutes to get to work, and said "on the bridge, it was horrendous going through the merge." Some took an illegal shortcut, he said.
"The state could have made a fortune if they had gotten the carpool violators," he said of drivers on I-880 and Highway 92.
CHP officials said it appeared motorists prepared for the closure by staying home, taking public transit or carpooling. The car-sharing program Carma, formerly Avego, that saw its numbers spike during the BART strike, has seen an increase in use. Paul Steinberg, Director of Americas for Carma, said downloads for the car share's app increased about 200 percent and trips are up 54 percent.
"Obviously it's not as large as our BART strike numbers, but it's a signal folks are looking for alternatives to driving alone and we expect a decent increase in usage," Steinberg said.
Traffic on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge was more sluggish than usual and Golden Gate Ferry service out of Larkspur saw 400 more passengers than usual.
"The parking lot got very crowded and people had to circle," said Jim Swindler, head of Golden Gate's ferry division.
East Sir Francis Drake Boulevard near the terminal, which takes Richmond-San Rafael Bridge traffic to southbound Highway 101, was expected to be hit hard, but traffic was no worse than usual. Traffic across the Golden Gate Bridge also flowed at the speed limit.
Throughout the bridge closure, with the exception of early Tuesday, BART will run trains 24 hours a day. During normal off hours, between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m., trains will stop at certain stations between Concord and SFO Airport and Del Norte Station in El Cerrito and Dublin/Pleasanton. All trains will meet at transfer station MacArthur BART in North Oakland.

After a robust debate between environmentalists and some Chinese-American groups, come Monday shark fin soup or anything made with shark fins can no longer be sold in California.
The ban comes two years after Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law making it illegal to "possess, sell, offer for sale, trade, or distribute" any shark fin statewide after Sunday -- a move cheered by conservation groups as a way to boost ocean health, but one that has jolted the Asian community culture with its centuries-old tradition of serving shark fin soup at weddings, banquets and other ceremonial events.
Under the new law, Chinese restaurants that sell shark fin soup, or markets that sell dried shark fins, will face fines of up to $1,000 per violation in California if they continue to offer them for sale.
"We've been working with restaurant owners and the Chinese communities throughout the state to educate them about the ban since the beginning of the year," said Jordan Traverso, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. "The warning period is over and citations will most likely be issued."
The idea behind the law, which was sponsored by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, is to reduce demand for shark fins.
"It's really great news for the oceans. It's long overdue," said Ken Peterson, a spokesman for the aquarium. "It's inspired a lot of other states to do the same."
Millions of sharks are killed each year worldwide, sometimes by fishing crews in international waters that cut off their fins and then throw the sharks, still alive, back into the ocean, where they painfully bleed to death.
But two organizations, the Burlingame-based Asian Americans for Political Advancement, and the San Francisco Chinatown Neighborhood Association, sued last year in federal court in San Francisco to block the law. They claimed it discriminates against Chinese-Americans because it prohibits cultural uses of shark fins.
They lost the case in January, however, when U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton said it failed to raise enough "serious questions" to merit a suspension of the law.
The groups plan to appeal, and the case should be heard by August, said Taylor Chow, president of Asian Americans for Political Advancement.
"Most of the stores and restaurants have gotten rid of their inventory," said Chow. "It makes them feel sad. It makes them recall the Chinese Exclusion Act. When there is a problem, society tries to blame minorities."
But supporters of the law note it was supported by some people of Chinese descent, including chef Martin Yan, basketball player Yao Ming, and most notably, Assemblyman Paul Fong, D-Cupertino, who wrote the law.
"Chinese-Americans and Chinese people are not of one mind on shark fins," said Peterson. "There are a lot who understand that having healthy shark populations are important to having healthy oceans."
Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Delaware, Illinois, New York and Maryland -- along with Guam, American Samoa, and Northern Mariana Islands -- have all passed similar bans on shark fin sale and possession. A similar bill was defeated in May in the Texas Legislature.
Environmental groups are alarmed by a draft proposal released recently by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that would forbid state bans, and say they plan to fight it.
Cutting the fins off sharks in U.S. waters has been illegal since 2000, when President Bill Clinton banned it. But in most states, including California until now, it has been legal to sell shark fins if they are imported from other countries.
Chow noted that hundreds of sharks are caught legally every year, and eaten, in U.S. waters. Under California's new law, he said, their fins won't be able to be sold anywhere statewide. Also, he noted, millions of sharks are killed in gill nets accidentally and by other fishing practices worldwide that have nothing to do with shark finning.
"A lot of us don't eat shark fin soup or rarely eat it," he said. "But we have all been blamed for cruelty and barbaric practices. That's not fair."
Regardless, California is the world's second largest market for shark fins, said Jennifer Fearing, state director of the Humane Society of the United States, which supports the law. And the best way to end demand is for large markets to stop allowing a product to be sold.
"It's very similar to ivory elephant tusks," she said. "To stop poaching and eliminate the value of ivory, you have to devalue it, and this law puts a value of zero on shark fins."
Vicky Ching, owner of Ming's Chinese restaurant in Palo Alto, said she removed shark fin soup last year from her menu. The soup can fetch $60 or more a bowl. Some Chinese restaurants in California will lose money on the ban, she said, but her restaurant probably won't.
"When we were selling it, we had some people say "I'm not going to patronize your restaurant if you keep selling it,'" she said.
"It's a very important dish for the traditional wedding banquets. But our customers here in Palo Alto are younger and more Americanized, so before the law passed, I had young people who wanted to change shark fin soup for something else."

CAUTION: Use of incompatible bearing lubricant could result in premature lubricant breakdown. The recommended wheel bearing lubricant is the lithium-base grease High Temperature 4×4 Front Axle and Wheel Bearing Grease E8TZ-19590-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M1C198-A. Sodium-base grease is not compatible with lithium-base grease and should not be intermixed. Therefore, before lubricating front or rear wheel bearings (1225), thoroughly clean all old grease from the bearing and front disc brake hub and rotor (1102). If bearing adjustment does not eliminate looseness or rough and noisy operation, clean and inspect the front disc brake hub and rotor and bearings. If bearing cups or the cone and roller assemblies are worn or damaged, replace. Disassembly 1. Raise vehicle and install safety stands. 2. Remove the wheel and tire. Refer to Section 04-04 in the Body, Chassis Manual. 3. Remove the locking hubs. 4. CAUTION: Do not let the disc brake caliper (2B120) hang only by the hose, or damage might occur to the hose or disc brake caliper. Remove the disc brake caliper.

VAIL, Colorado - There is no easy category in which to place Santigold's sound. It's pop, rock, hip-hop, reggae and tribal beats in one throbbing mass of succinctly executed energy. The sheer gusto and stage presence at a Santigold performance also defy definition.
In any given live show, front woman Santi White, her rock band and two SG1 dancers can be found leaping from one corner to the other, striking poses to African beats, shimmying to crazy Irish step dances (minus the Irish folk music), simulating James Brown's gold cape moves and even bringing a horse on stage for some four-legged hiphop.
There is no question Santigold has landed on quite a few radars since last playing the Burton U.S. Open, but Saturday will mark the New York-based artist's inaugural stop in Vail. And you'd better believe she's planning on hitting the slopes while she's in town.
"I'm excited to perform at the Burton U.S. Open again, and hopefully to get in a quick run or two while I'm out there. I haven't had a chance to snowboard yet all winter," White said.
Hailing from Philadelphia, after making the switch from a career as a record company representative to that of musician and producer, White moved to Brooklyn and set out to shake up the stereotype of what the music industry usually expects from the female African American talent pool.
You might think the world of snowboarding is another universe to Santigold. It's not. White's husband, Trevor "Trouble" Andrews, is a former Olympic snowboarder, fellow musician and a fashion designer and his band has also performed at the U.S. Open.
"He was on the Burton team at that time and he was in the scene," said Burton Events Manager Ian Warda. "With the whole Burton family, Santi has always been close to us. She really feels like family. It was 2007 or 2008 when we booked her originally. She was new on the music scene then and not a lot of people had heard her. She put her debut album out shortly after that and gained popularity. With her second album, she's blown up and we're excited to showcase her to a larger crowd."
Larger crowds are now par for the course for Santigold. She released her first self-titled album ('Santogold' - her former stage name before a copyright dilemma caused her to change to Santigold) in 2008 and immediately made an impression, making Rolling Stone and Spin magazine's lists for the year's best albums and touring in support of Jay-Z, Kanye West and her friends, the Beastie Boys.
Last April she followed up with her much-anticipated second album, "Master of My Make-Believe," which has been getting regular commercial radio time, has landed her several artist features on NPR, MTV and Spin. She has now reached a point where she routinely sells out every live show she plays throughout the United States, including her previous most recent stop in Colorado at Denver's Ogden Theater last summer.
Most recently Santigold released "Girls," the lead song on the official soundtrack of Lena Dunham's Golden Globe-winning new HBO TV series bearing the same name.
"Her show is amazing - her incredible vocals, the choreography and dancing ... it's amazing," Warda says. "When we go to book the entertainment for these events, we just look for a fun show and we like to have a different dynamic. This year was focused on trying to program up-and-coming artists who are hot and on top of the time. Macklemore and Santi are both getting so much momentum now. She appeals to a broad audience and her music resonates with a ton of people. She really transcends different genres. With all the different concerts Vail has done over the years, we wanted to take a different approach and get more young energy."
Energy is an understatement when it comes to a Santigold show. She typically starts off with a dramatic march onto the stage wearing a gold cape, collapsing into the arms of her SG1 dancers, who change outfits several times during the show and leap through all of their professional and eclectic dance moves wearing dark shades and never cracking their poker face. At some point in the show, White usually invites dozens of the audience onto the stage to dance.
In short, Santigold's show is likely to upstage the snowboarding halfpipe finals earlier on Saturday. Burton's Facebook page announcing Saturday's free show is teaming with fans planning to go, so getting there early might not be a bad idea. It's outside, so bring your mittens.

I am looking for a way to obtain a list of services filtered by the log on as account being a domain user (vs. LocalSystem, for example). I do not see that Get-Service can access that information, but Get-WMIObject win32_service can. However, when I use this syntax I receive an invalid query error:
Get-WMIObject Win32_Service -filter "startname='domain\username'"
I tested this on the Application Identity Service by using this syntax to obtain the startname property:
Get-WMIObject Win32_Service -filter "name='AppIDSvc'" | fl *
The results show the property StartName with a value matching the domain\username I set in the Services Console.
Get-Help seems to indicate that I should be able to use any property to filter my results, but this is not working.
Please try the following:
Get-WMIObject Win32_Service -filter "startname='domain\\username'"
should work.
You beat me to it! The backslash is a special character in a WMI query; you escape it with a second backslash.
Ah yes, the filter parameter requires WQL syntax. I was not aware of the \ character being special.
Thanks, it does work!

To the Editor:
I just wanted to write a short and POSITIVE message about an amazing night in Oak Ridge. As a native Oak Ridger, I have had a lot of experiences in town and the Neon Vibe race on Saturday night was hands down one of the best!
It was such a delightful change to see all my friends from Knoxville come out here for once! Then to see at the crowd of 1,500 people laughing and dancing at the Civic Center getting ready to run was amazing! Being involved with many of the events around the city as I have been, I really wanted to sit back on this one and experience it as nothing more than a participant — and it was wonderful! Every step of the process was so organized and easy. I heard many people talking about the great parking and safety measures; the course couldn't have been more organized or better staffed.
To see all the city entities working together was so heartwarming! It must have taken a huge amount of coordination and I want to say thank you to those people.
So many people from other areas who came in said how great it was and how nice the city is. I even convinced a few friends to come out on Sunday to bike the trails by the river because they got to drive by and see how beautiful it is on their way in. The support from the community was evident from residents lining the streets to cheer us on to families volunteering to work. I loved seeing how many youth were both volunteering and participating.
I am sure there was push back on shutting down the Turnpike, but it was worth it! I challenged a few friends who were not happy about roads being closed to come by after the game. They did and apologized for complaining about a short "inconvenience" once they realized what a cool event it was.
All that to say — kudos to whoever made this happen! Thank you for making our city such a great place to live and work. I am so proud to be an Oak Ridger!

If you have Netflix or the equivalent, watch this documentary...these guys ran the equivalent of 170 marathons in 110 days, without a single day of rest ....across the the upper African continent and straight through the Sahara Desert.
The reason I stuck it in the Newbie Cafe is that one of the runners, Ray Zahab, was a relative newcomer to running; and it had only been a couple of years before that he was a pack-a-day smoker and hard partyer, by his own admission.
Pretty inspirational stuff! Next time I think I am in "pain" during my C25K program, remembering these maniacs will help me push through what little discomfort I think I might be feeling.
Check it out and enjoy!
Way cool movie, I saw that and then was recommended by Netflix: Ride the Divide (about mountain bikers riding from Canada to Mexico). Mind boggling what these ultra endurance athletes can do.
