What are the key terms to know when discussing biodiesel fuel, vehicles, and infrastructure?
It is important to know how to "talk the talk" when it comes to biodiesel and the associated vehicles and infrastructure. Becoming familiar with the terms below will help you better understand the fuel so you can ask the right questions and make informed decisions.
Biodiesel is a domestically produced renewable fuel that can be manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease. Biodiesel is considered an advanced biofuel under the Renewable Fuel Standard and is the only such fuel that is commercially available nationwide.
Neat biodiesel, also known as B100, is biodiesel in its pure, unblended form. B100 is considered an alternative fuel under the Energy Policy Act (EPAct) of 1992. B100 fuel is often blended with petroleum diesel. Blends are represented in shorthand as BX, where the "X" is the percentage of biodiesel in the fuel. For example, B2 is 2% biodiesel and 98% petroleum diesel. All blends of biodiesel result in emissions reductions and petroleum displacement, as compared to conventional petroleum diesel. Popular blends include:
Biodiesel and conventional diesel vehicles are one in the same. Biodiesel blends can be used in most compression-ignition diesel vehicles without any engine modifications. However, operators should check their warranty to best understand what blend is optimized for their vehicle. The National Biodiesel Board maintains a list of automakers and engine manufacturers' positions on biodiesel blends in their vehicles, specifically the biodiesel blends supported and encouraged by vehicle manufacturers.
Biodiesel is produced by converting oils and fats into chemicals called long-chain mono alkyl esters, also referred to as fatty acid methyl esters, through a process called transesterification. The feedstock reacts with a short-chain alcohol (e.g., methanol) in the presence of a catalyst (e.g., sodium hydroxide) to produce biodiesel and glycerin, a co-product. Raw oils, such as straight vegetable oil or waste vegetable oil, that have not been converted to biodiesel through this process should not be used in vehicles, as they can cause engine damage and void warranties.
ASTM International sets specifications for fuels, including biodiesel. Biodiesel used as engine fuel should meet the following standards:
The National Biodiesel Accreditation Program, BQ9000, is a voluntary accreditation program for fuel producers and marketers that combines the ASTM standards with a quality systems program.
A biodiesel station includes many of the same components as a diesel station, including the fuel storage tank (s), dispenser (s), and hanging hardware (e.g., hoses, nozzles).
Prior to introducing biodiesel, station managers should thoroughly clean existing components. This is because of the "cleaning effect" of biodiesel, which can dissolve accumulated sediments, cause contamination, and plug filters.
When building or converting existing infrastructure to handle biodiesel, it is important to check for compatibility with biodiesel or biodiesel blends. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) continues to test fueling equipment, including dispensers, aboveground storage tanks, underground storage tanks (USTs), piping, coatings, sumps, and heating equipment for use with biodiesel and biodiesel blends. UL-listed B20 equipment is available from Husky, OPW Fueling Components, Veyance Technologies, Franklin Fueling, and Gilabarco Veeder-Root—in fact, all new dispensers sold by Gilbarco Veeder-Root as of 2014 are UL listed for B20. Equipment vendors can also provide information about the compatibility of their products. In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published Guidance on Compatibility of UST Systems with Ethanol Blends Greater than 10 Percent and Biodiesel Blends Greater than 20 Percent, which outlines how UST owners and operators can demonstrate compliance with EPA requirements.
Additional information on biodiesel fuel, vehicles, and infrastructure can be found on the Alternative Fuels Data Center Biodiesel page and on the National Biodiesel Board website.

(Port Angeles) Local environmental activists say they'll hold a vigil tonight over the proposed Keystone pipeline.
Olympic Climate Action is taking up the candlelight event as part of a national day of protests against the pipeline and a State Department report released last week that gave the controversial project a green light.
Protesters want the President to reject the plan. They say the pipeline would allow too much fossil fuel on world markets and create more greenhouse gasses.
Proponents disagree, and say the oil will help stabilize world oil prices and put tens of thousands of people to work in the United States.
The pipeline would carry crude oil from tar sands in Alberta to refineries in Texas.
The candlelight vigil runs from 4:30 to 6:30 tonight in front of the Port of Port Angeles offices.

For more than 30 years, I have been writing and editing everything from community newspaper stories to magazine articles to business communications to books.
I bring that experience, plus a good helping of enthusiasm and energy, to my clients.
I can work with every stage of a communication project, from concept to reporting and research to writing to editing. I've been fortunate in being able to work with talented designers, photographers and webmasters to put together packages that deliver the message effectively.
I have been a manager and supervisor of as many as 60 people and of budgets in the millions of dollars. I have led projects of high public interest and have brought them off successfully. I have served as a negotiator and mediator on both sides of the bargaining table. I've spent more than 30 years writing and editing, including leading two projects that became Pulitzer Prize finalists.
Whatever my title or employment situation, my professional life always has been one of communicating information in useful ways to a variety of audiences.
I worked for more than 21 years at the Star Tribune in Minneapolis. Then, feeling it was time to do something different, I finished my MFA and picked up clients and realized that I had become a successful freelance writer and editor. I had a wonderful stint at a community newspaper, leading it to several major prizes, then moved on to a new phase of freelance writing and editing. I became editor of a start-up magazine for the catering industry, helping it become what it is today: an established and reliable source of information and ideas for caterers.
If you've ever been self-employed, you know that you have to be able to get things done efficiently or you simply can't support yourself. I'm an organized and efficient worker (Meyers-Briggs ENFJ, with emphasis on the J) which has been crucial in building a successful business on my own.

[Albert] Gorres shows that the feeling of guilt, the capacity to recognize guilt, belongs essentially to the spiritual make-up of man. This feeling of guilt disturbs the false calm of conscience and could be called conscience's complaint against my self-satisfied existence. It is as necessary for man as the physical pain that signifies disturbances of normal bodily functioning. Whoever is no longer capable of perceiving guilt is spiritually ill, "a living corpse, a dramatic character's mask," as Gorres says:"Monsters, among other brutes, are the ones without guilt feelings. Perhaps Hitler did not have any, or Himmler, or Stalin. Maybe Mafia bosses do not have any guilt feelings either, or maybe their remains are just well hidden in the cellar. Even aborted guilt feelings...All men need guilt feelings."

"I'm not a man who constantly thinks up jokes. But I think it's very important to be able to see the funny side of life and its joyful dimension and not to take everything too tragically. I'd also say it's necessary for my ministry. A writer once said that angels can fly because they don't take themselves too seriously. Maybe we could also fly a bit if we didn't think we were so important."

"Discovering the beauty and joy of faith is a path that every new generation must take on its own."
"Today, having a clear faith based on the Creed of the Church is often labeled as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, that is, letting oneself be "tossed here and there, carried about by every wind of doctrine" [Ephesians 4.14], seems the only attitude that can cope with modern times. We are building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one's ego and desires.We, however, have a different goal: the Son of God, the true man. He is the measure of true humanism. An "adult" faith is not a faith that follows the trends of fashion and the latest novelty; a mature, adult faith is deeply rooted in friendship with Christ. It is this friendship that opens us up to all that is good and gives us a criterion by which to distinguish the true from the false, and deceit from truth."

Animal cruelty
Those who've seen the worst want stricter Ohio laws
August 20, 2013
When it comes to animal abuse and neglect cases, Washington County Dog Warden Kelly McGilton has seen the full spectrum....
What a Pig.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I am disgusted by people who abuse and neglect animals. If you are not going to take proper care of them then don't own them. Animals enrich the lives of humans and we should have the common decency to do the same for them. They should be spoiled, I know mine sure are.
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
mrhomer, Please accept my apology. I thought you were advocating 24/7 chain policy. Those people disgust me also and I'm truly sorry that I thought you were one of them.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Maybe you better read that again Caspiansynn...I am very much against chaining dogs for any amount of time...just take a drive around here...look at all the bare ground around makeshift doghouses with turned over water bowls and filthy food bowls...these people make me sick and should be given the same living conditions.
13 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Was everything that could be done to Ms Fryman...done? Did the City or the State check to see if she had been paying taxes on the dogs she was selling...no one is exempt from those and I'm sure there would have been people coming forward to tell how much they paid her....how about her "government funding" ..weren't they interested in the unclaimed income she was getting..."it takes a village".
9 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
mrhomer, Your statements make you sound like someone who advocates animal cruelty. Do you seriously believe that keeping a dog on a chain 24/7 is humane? Even the most heinous of criminals get to exercise occasionally.
0 Agrees | 7 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
There's a disturbing trend toward more animal cruelty. Laws need to be strengthened so these jerks can be punished to fit the crime.
I don't think it's a treatable mental illness to be deliberately cruel to an animal. It's more like a personality disorder called sociopathy. Not much that can be done about this behavior unless the person is willing to change, and even then it's highly unlikely that they can change.
The best thing we can do is prevent these troubled people from owning animals, and protect our animals from being victimized by them.
You're right beaten1. Deliberate animal cruelty is part of the classic triad found occurring during the childhood of nearly all mass murders, rapists, career criminals, arsonists, child exploiters. The others are bed wetting and fire starting. If you want to learn more about this do a search on Sociopathy + animal cruelty. Some sociopaths channel their energy into driven work that requires little conscience, eg Politician, CEO
8 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
What is wrong with these people?! This is how Jeffrey Dahmer got started. This kind of news infuriates me. I'd like to meet up with Fryman and McClay in a dark alley...
10 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
the laws must be changed to more stricter penalties. and as for juveniles that commit crimes let's start with ALSO charging their parent/guardian with the same offense. When we place accountability equal with the laws, perhaps then we can end such behavior. No excuse for animal abuse. Adopt...Don't shop...
8 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
People who commit such hideous acts of cruelty deserve more than a slap on the wrist.
The man who shot the cat and the boys who killed the pet duck & destroyed the eggs are mentally ill.
That being said, they should be punished in a way that will catch their attention and prevent them from even considering doing something so cruel again.
It's not for me to pass judgment on them, and for that--they should be glad.
11 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The penalties should be much stiffer for animal abuse. They should be the same punishment as if it were comitted on a child. Animals are loving and defenseless.
11 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
There are laws the city and county could adopt too ...like not chaining a dog for 24/7 and charging more license fee for unspayed or unneutered animals...to encourage more to do so...other Ohio counties have already done this....Ohio is embarrassingly behind the times on just about everything.....while this city is more concerned about someone selling hot dogs on the corners and taking business away from them. We all know they enforce those laws in minutes ...cause it ends up on the front page of the paper...like the earth shattering news that it is.

What music do you listen to while knitting

I don't have music on while knitting due to daughter who works night shifts and sleeps during day. Thankfully she has moved her bed back into the bed room now that the darn loft bed is out of there. Grandson needs some one keeping an eye on him in that bedroom because he goes into things he has no business messing around with.
But if I did listen to music while knitting, it would be old country like Jim Reeves, Charlie Pride , Charlie Rich , Blackhawk, George Strait, Conway Twitty and other old country artists. The current crop of country music is not country enough for me. I don't even listen to he country radio station any more because all they play is the new stuff that sounds like pop music to me. I will be doing a lot of knitting closer to Christmas because I have a couple of items I want to knit to donate to a Daylily Convention I will be going to in 2014. Intend to make something for both a man and a woman so that more money can be brought in to support the AHS since I am a member of it.
Daylilies are the Lord's smiles, a new one every day.

Behavior modification applied to the treatment of obesity has evolved from the environmental control of eating behavior to a broader approach characterized by systematic manipulation of all factors associated with eating and exercise patterns. This approach has shown success in helping obese persons lose modest amounts of weight. The average length of treatment is 18 weeks, and the average weight loss is 9.9 kg. About 66% of these weight losses are maintained at 52 weeks of follow-up. Because obesity is a chronic condition with a substantial potential for relapse, longer-term treatments are needed. In the future, behavioral modification is likely to be further combined with other treatment methods.

Plant Biology
Plant Biology Introduction
In A Nutshell
Whether you are an expert gardener, amateur botanist, or are a person who has never thought about the trees your dog pees on, you should care about plants. Why? You can't live without them! Plants keep your house safe in Plants vs. Zombies, and also form the basis of every terrestrial ecosystem.
Even ignoring the fact that the fibers in your clothes, the paper in your books, and the flour in your designer cupcakes all come from plants, we still have to thank them for a lot. Almost all the energy used on Earth originated as a photon hitting a plant leaf and being converted to sugar. The fossil fuels we use to heat our homes, move us around, and turn into plastic odds and ends originated as plant material millions of years ago. There wouldn't be an iPad today without the lily pad millions of years ago. Now you can even buy water bottles, forks and plates made directly from plants.
All of these modern conveniences come from the diverse array of evolutionary changes that make up the plant kingdom. Plants can be incredibly varied in their form and function; they can be trees, shrubs, forbs, and grasses. Forbs, not to be confused with the billionaire Steve Forbes, are small flowering plants that aren't grasses or grains. If it weren't for the astonishing diversity of plants we'd have no balm for sunburn (no Aloe vera), and even worse no one would coo coo for CoCo Puffs without Theobroma cacao.
Plants don't just make useful products for humans. Ever go into a park or a forest on a hot summer day and notice it's cooler under the trees? Plants provide shade and can really help cool air down—not a task to be taken lightly in this changing climate of ours. So let's explore more about plants in this section, and get to know how they shape our world!

Garcinia Cambogia, Is It A Scam?
Does Garcinia Cambogia Really Work?
With millions of people talking about this amazing super fruit there has to be something spectacular to it. Dr. Oz calls it "the holy grail of weight loss." See what he has to say about Garcinia Cambogia by clicking here. It has been deemed "the queen of all fruits" because of its incredible benefits and high success when it comes to safe weight loss. Garcinia Cambogia is NOT a scam if you know exactly what to look for. In fact Garcinia Cambogia has been scientifically proven to help you lose weight. Take a look at these amazing results in this clinical study.
Not All Garcinia Cambogia Is The Same
Vital Mend has replicated the exact formula listed in the clinical study listed above. Garcinia Cambogia from Vital Mend also meets all of Dr. Oz's high standards resulting in a highly trusted proven product for safe weight loss. To save yourself from being caught in a Garcinia Cambogia weight loss scam look for these things:
- Watch out for companies that slip additional ingredients into their Garcinia Cambogia. If they add more ingredients in, it usually dilutes whatever Garcinia Cambogia they might be including.
- Watch out for "free trials". These free trials often look appealing, but often lead to you getting too little Garcinia Cambogia or ending up with way too much when they keep sending it without your consent.
- Watch out for automatic rebilling. There are companies out there that will keep sending you product long after you've hit your weight loss goal. At Vital Mend, we care about one thing, your success.
- Garcinia Cambogia has been proven to be safe and effective for weight loss as long as it includes 60% HCA, and is 100% pure.
One of the biggest benefits from Garcinia Cambogia which has amazed researchers in the scientific community, is that people using the weight loss supplement don't have to do something extraordinary while using this super fruit. You won't need vigorous exercise or to cut your food intake to a pretzel and an apple a day to lose weight. This phenomenal fruit contains Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA). This acid is known to help with suppressing the appetite, blocking fat cells from forming, and more!
Make Sure Your Garcinia Cambogia Meets The Highest Standards
Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated Garcinia Cambogia's effectiveness in tackling weight gain, suppressing the appetite and reinforcing the immune system. Most recently, a study at Purdue University revealed that overweight adults lost on average 9 lbs when taking 750mg of Garcinia Cambogia over a period of 8 weeks. It has also been shown to lower cholesterol, decrease appetite and boost serotonin levels. Click here to view the clinical study. To gain the best results be sure that you have a product that is 100% pure with no binders, fillers or added ingredients. Be sure that it meets or exceeds all of Dr. Oz's requirements. Be sure that it is made with HCA Garcinia Cambogia with 60% Hydroxycitric Acid. Be sure it has 750 mg per serving. For safety purposes make sure it is produced in an FDA approved and registered facility. Garcinia Cambogia has been proven to be safe and effective for weight loss as long as it includes 60% HCA, and is 100% pure.

Moffat County teen starts tradition with first hunt
After bagging deer close to home, Tehya Johnson plans to hunt much more
You only get one hunting story about your first time claiming an animal, and Tehya Johnson will have a good yarn to spin for years to come. During Johnson's first hunting season in October 2015, the teenager stuck close to home. Very close — specifically right in the driveway of her family's house near Cedar Mountain, about five miles north of Craig in Northwest Colorado.
Craig taxidermist preserves his trade, passes on knowledge
Colorado State Championships among many taxidermy shows Mark Zimmerman attends
Dozens of eyes stare down from the walls of Mark Zimmerman's workshop on the outskirts of Craig, each belonging to an animal that, if it weren't completely motionless, you would swear was still alive. That's the aim of Bullseye Taxidermy, a business he has operated full-time for the past 13 years. In that time, he's stuffed and mounted countless critters from a myriad hunting trips, many of which have earned him some prominent prizes.
Craig's ProHunt Concierge serves hunters around the globe
Owner: Colorado still a 'premier destination' with international reputation
The memories made on a hunting trip can last forever, but as Amy Martin Shaffer puts it, the one-tenth of a second it can take to pull the trigger can only happen after hours, days, weeks or months of preparation.
Moffat County outfitter, out-of-state individuals charged for 2014 poaching activities
Mule deer buck considered trophy quality by Samson Law; fines exceed $24,000
The numbers speak for themselves in a Northwest Colorado poaching case involving four parties across three separate states with more than one year of investigation and thousands of dollars in fines. Colorado Parks and Wildlife released details Thursday about a November 2014 poaching incident involving a Moffat County outfitter and parties from Mississippi and Missouri.
Petition calls to end overlap between archery, muzzleloading seasons
A citizen petition was submitted to Colorado Parks and Wildlife requesting the overlapping of archery and muzzleloader seasons be eliminated in the late summer for safety reasons.
The Thrill of the Hunt
Volunteers lend their expertise to next generation
Kayla Coleman calmly traced the bird with her 20-gauge shotgun and gave the trigger a gentle squeeze.
A different trophy elk
Prehistoric big game known for magnificent tusks
It is elk hunting season in Colorado, and although many hunters are interested in harvesting an elk for its meat, some hunters are after a trophy bull.
Training to hunt
Decavitch realizes being physically prepared to hunt is crucial
Besides target practice, Jeff Decavitch never thought about preparing for hunting season. Now, he understands that training makes for a better hunt. "I was way out of shape," he said. "I used to be in pretty good shape when I was younger but I let myself go." About three years ago, Decavitch started getting back into shape through a strict training regimen. He quickly discovered that it complemented his hunting. Then he combined the two and walked away with a national title.
Brown's big buck
Teen archer Zachary Brown's kill may be one for record books
Zachary Brown took a deep breath and drew back on his bow. A big buck was in the cross hairs. His nerves were churning, but he focused on the deer. The situation was similar, but this hunt was different for the 14-year-old boy from Crawford. He'd already had successful hunts: two elk; three wild turkeys; and a bear, which is mounted and hanging on his bedroom wall.
Moffat County opens up hunting opportunities to veterans
Program has helped more than 70 former soldiers
They've seen some of the toughest conditions the world has to offer in one of the most thankless jobs. They've made some significant sacrifices in their lives, and Northwest Colorado was glad to step up and do something to pay them back for their service. The Veterans Hunt Program through the Grand Junction Veterans Health Care System recently gave two former soldiers the chance to experience the splendor of Moffat County's favorite pastime.
Mule deer illegally shot with arrow in Craig last week
CPW seeks persons of interest
Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers are asking the public for help in identifying the person or persons responsible for shooting and injuring a high-quality mule deer buck with an arrow approximately Sept. 9 or 10, in the southwest side of the city of Craig, according to a CPW press release.
Craig's 'Elk Hunting Capital' continues to promote multiple opportunities
In 2012, Northwest Colorado's town of Craig officially achieved a status that residents and recurring tourists had known for years. The designation of "Elk Hunting Capital of the World" became a true trademark for the city, largely thanks to five years of effort by local businessman John Ponikvar, who put forth the time and money in the venture in order to brand Craig in the right way. More than a mere slogan, the title is one that remains an important part of promoting all the area has to offer to incoming hunters from around the globe.
Colorado offers variety, options, ease for hunters
Sportsmen in the United States have a lot of choices about where to hunt, but with 23 million acres of public lands and the largest elk herds in North America, Colorado has much to offer.
Catching up with the Vanatta brothers: Longtime guides are hunters to the core
Hunting has been a family affair for Steamboat brothers Lonny and Dirk Vanatta since childhood, and they've made a business out of the sport for nearly 30 years, guiding for Vanatta Outfitters in Routt County...
Ranching for Wildlife explained
Ssssh! Here's one of Colorado's best kept hunting secrets. For residents seeking to avoid the expense of guides, outfitters or access fees, more than a million acres of prime private wildlife habitat is open to the public on a limited basis under the state's Ranching for Wildlife program.
Getting a grip on guns; TALON Grips
While you'll hear the boom of firearms in area hills this hunting season, business at one local company is booming for products that help hunters grip their guns. Steamboat Springs-based TALON Grips targets everyone from hunters to law enforcement officers and other gun users desiring enhanced grip for their firearms.
Hunting and the XX chromosome; CPW programs get more women involved
Hunting big game isn't just for the guys anymore. "There are definitely more women hunters these days," says Kathleen Tadvick, eduction director for Colorado Parks and Wildlife's northwest region.
What the wet spring spells for hunters; Healthy herds, but limited visibility
As recently as last April, hunters were facing the possibility of a severe drought affecting this year's game populations. What a difference a month can make.

Ruthell Moreno's inspiring storyDuring graduation season, inspirational stories of triumph over adversity are in abundance. Which is very good.
Iloilo writers Hazel Villa and John Kevin Arevalo submitted to VERA Files and Yahoo the story of Ruthell Moreno, who is graduating summa cum laude, Bachelor of Special Education,major in Teaching Children with Mental Retardation from the West Visayas State University.
Ruthell, who is from Antique, is only the fourth summa cum laude of the College of Education (COE) after its founding as a Normal College more than a hundred years ago. The COE is a Center of Teaching Excellence and consistent placer in the Licensure Exam for Teachers.
In last Tuesday's WVSU recognition day Ruthell, with a Grade Point Average of 1.23, received more receive university level awards: Most outstanding student teacher, Student of the year, Proficiency in SPED Award, Academic excellence award, an award from the Philippine Association for Teacher Education, Journalism Award, Rotary Award, Abelardo Alegre Ledesma award for excellence in culture and arts, Sen. Manuel Villar Jr Academic Excellence Award and two awards from Sen. Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III.
She also delivered the valedictory address in behalf of the graduates of 2012.
Hazel and John Kevin said, the story of Ruthell, 24, known to friends as "Che" could have been any regular story of an intelligent young woman making the most of her resources and abilities, except for the fact that she has Systemic Lupus Erythematosus or lupus, an autoimmune disease characterized by acute and chronic inflammation of various tissues of the body.
It's the same disease that afflicted former president Ferdinand Marcos.
There is another person who is very proud of Che: Marilyn Robles, president of the Lupus Foundation of the Philippines.
Marilyn sent Che a message in Facebook: "Three cheers for Che! You deserve to be congratulated and commended, Che. Thank you for trusting me with your inner most fears during the early days of your diagnosis. The Lupus Foundation of the Philippines congratulates you and all other lupies who will graduate this year. The arduous task of working for a degree has paid off. Celebrate!"
Marilyn reminded Che and other lupies "not to celebrate under the sun."
Lupus patients are ultra sensitive to sunlight. A Health website says exposure to sunlight can cause a skin rash or trigger a flare-up of internal lupus resulting in joint pain and fatigue.
Marilyn said she first met Che when she spoke before nursing students in Iloilo. At that time Che was agonizing about shifting to a less physically demanding course. Their communication continued, more so when Che became the president of the Lupus group in Iloilo.
Marilyn said a support group is very important and Che is lucky to have a very supportive family.
According to Hazel and John Kevin, "It was in October 2006 when Che first experienced the symptoms of Lupus. A rash shaped like a butterfly appeared on her face. Che was 19 and a third year nursing student at WVSU. She tried to conceal the rash from her peers and teachers using a face mask.
"Che even asked me to buy a 'tayubong' for her. She said she will use it to hide the rash on her neck. When I did buy her one, she immediately applied it. Che went to such measures just not to miss our class that day," Rommel, her best friend, said.
"Then, she started having joint pains on her arms and on her feet. She tried to ward off the joint pains with different ointments. But the ointments' effects only worked for a couple of minutes.
"When she was diagnosed of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus on June 2007 and was advised not to attend school anymore, Che thought that her life would never be the same as before.
"She was compelled not to pursue her nursing course and shift to education, which was less physically demanding.
"Pondering her illness, Che said,'I asked God why He gave this disease to me. I asked Him if He could take this back for the meantime and return it after several years.'
"Che never lost hope.She motivated herself to continue life. She attended a Christmas Party for Lupus patients on December 2007 and realized that there are more important things in life than certificates, medals, awards and career. And that is her health.
"After attending the Party, Che with her doctor, Dr. Caroline Arroyo, decided to build the Lupus Support Group of Panay, Incorporated for Lupus patients here in Panay who neither have the money or the resources to join the national support group which is based on Manila."
Che sees what she is now as "God's gift." She is giving it back. "What I will be is my own gift to God," she said.

A support network is very important for our daily existence. It becomes even more important when one is sick.
Che is fortunate that she has a supportive family. It's admirable that she is giving it back by also supporting others.
She is indeed an inspiration.

don't to spoil moments of celebration like this but it seems the lady comes from a family with means to support all her needs. actually, i admire her will to survive and setting an example to others with same ailment.
pero, paano naman ang ibang walang kakayahan ang mga magulang upang tustusan ang pangangailangan partikular ang gastos sa gamot at pagpapagamot?
manny villar, koko pimentel, gayundin ang iba pang mga politikong bumabandera ang pangalan sa pagsuporta sa katulad na mga kaso ni che subalit piling pili ang tinutulungang ang pagpapaluwal ng salapi mula sa hindi naman nila pinaghirapan ay para lamang doon sa alam nilang may makukuha silang kapalit lalo na kapag parating ang eleksiyon.
maraming mas higit na nangangailangan subalit parang mga kaluluwang ligaw na hindi nila makita at nilalampas lampasan na lamang.

Good day! I'm a classmate of Ruthell Moreno. Sir,sa pag kaka alam ko po,walang suportang natanggap si Ruthell galing sa mga senador na nabanggit habang siya'y nag aaral pa lamang sa institusyon.
Isa pa, walang kinalaman ang pulitiko sa pagiging summa cum laude ni ruthell.Kusa niya itong pinaghirapan sa tulong ng kanyang pamilya na walang sawang sumusuporta sa kanya.
At sa kahuli hulihan, ang pamilya ni ruthell ay nasa average lamang. Hindi si mayaman hindi rin naman sila mahirap.Salamat po!!

NAYLOR -- Backed by a complete game shutout from starter Jordon Pavy on Tuesday, the Risco Tigers defeated Naylor 4-0.
Taking the lead on a two-run rally in the fourth inning, the Tigers then added a run in both the sixth and seventh frames to make up the final.
All the while, Pavy held Naylor batters to only two hits while striking out six. He faced the minimum number of batters thanks to the Tigers defense turning three double plays on the contest.
"Jordon just threw great," Risco coach Brandon Blankenship said. "He got ahead in the count and was efficient, We played excellent defense behind them as well, especially third baseman Austin White who started two of our double plays."
On offense, Chris Pavy went 2 for 4 with a triple while Matt Cummins reached three times with a triple and two walks.
Now at 3-4, Risco will host South Pemiscot on Thursday at 4:30 p.m.

What if this wasn't a rhetorical question?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
It's almost like Pitt wanted to go on the cheap, which is odd because their financial situation isn't that dire. The problem is, all the fans and boosters whined that Wanny didn't win titles, didn't go to BCS bowls, but yet a no-name with 1 winning season in a crappy conference is going to fix that?
I don't get it.
What if this wasn't a rhetorical question?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
Playing devil's advocate here, since I don't have a dog in the fight -- Haywood was only there two seasons, and he took over a team that went 2-10 the year before and 10-27 the three prior seasons combined, suggesting he didn't inherit some big stockpile of talent. MAC down year or no, 9-4 and league champs is a pretty solid turnaround for the second season, isn't it? I mean, the players he recruited were only freshmen or true sophomores. I don't know that's it's realistic to say a team should be able to go from MAC bottom-feeder to beating BCS-league teams in two years, and if they don't the coach sucks.
Not saying Pitt made the right hire, I have no idea, I'm just thinking folks are a little quick with the dismissal.
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible
Of course, how was Gene Chizik greeted at Auburn and what was his record at Iowa State before that?
Now all Pitt needs is their own Cam Newon and voila!
Maybe Urban Meyer's doctors RX is vacation in Oxford, OH.
I also would bet that Mike Leach is looking into the job.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible
Might not be the new coach for very long, Haywood was arrested today for domestic violence.
Time to change this to Pitt NEEDS a new coach.
That has to be one of the shorter HC tenures in history...
Wonder how the UK/Pitt bowl game will play out now... You would think Pitt will be in total disarray.

Obama: Professed 9/11 mastermind will be convicted
Published: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 10:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 10:52 a.m.
WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama predicted that professed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be convicted and executed as Attorney General Eric Holder proclaimed: "Failure is not an option."
In one of a series of TV interviews during his trip to Asia, Obama said those offended by the legal privileges given to Mohammed by virtue of getting a civilian trial rather than a military tribunal won't find it "offensive at all when he's convicted and when the death penalty is applied to him."
Obama quickly added that he did not mean to suggest he was prejudging the outcome of Mohammed's trial. "I'm not going to be in that courtroom," he said. "That's the job of the prosecutors, the judge and the jury."
In interviews broadcast on NBC and CNN Wednesday, the president also said that experienced prosecutors in the case who specialize in terrorism have offered assurances that "we'll convict this person with the evidence they've got, going through our system."
Obama said the American people should have no concern about the capability of civilian courts to try suspected terrorists. Attorney General Eric Holder last week announced the decision to bring Mohammed and four others detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to trial at a lower Manhattan courthouse.
Holder sought to explain U.S. prosecution strategy Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where lawmakers questioned him along largely partisan lines over his decision last week to send Mohammed and four alleged henchmen from a detention center at Guantanamo Bay to New York to face a civilian federal trial in New York.
Asked what might happen if the suspects are acquitted, Holder replied: "Failure is not an option. These are cases that have to be won. I don't expect that we will have a contrary result."
Critics of Holder's decision mostly Republicans have argued the trial will give Mohammed a world stage to spout hateful rhetoric.
Holder said such concerns are misplaced, because judges can control unruly defendants and any pronouncements by Mohammed would only make him look worse.
"I have every confidence that the nation and the world will see him for the coward that he is," Holder told the committee. "I'm not scared of what Khalid Sheik Mohammed has to say at trial and no one else needs to be either."
Holder said the public and the nation's intelligence secrets can be protected during a public trial in civilian court.
"We need not cower in the face of this enemy," Holder says. "Our institutions are strong, our infrastructure is sturdy, our resolve is firm, and our people are ready."
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the committee chairman, supported Holder's decision.
Mohammed, Leahy said, "committed crimes of murder in our country and we will prosecute them in our country. We're the most powerful nation on earth, we have a justice system that is the envy of the world. We will not be afraid."
The committee's ranking Republican, Jeff Sessions of Alabama, criticized the decision, saying it treats Mohammed like a common criminal.
"I believe this decision is dangerous, I believe it's misguided, I believe it's unnecessary," Sessions said.
Holder announced Friday that five accused Sept. 11 conspirators currently held at the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will be transferred to federal court in Manhattan to face trial just blocks from the site of the former World Trade Center.
Five other suspects, Holder said, will be sent to face justice before military commissions in the United States, though a location for those commissions has not yet been determined.
The actual transfer of the suspects to New York is still many weeks away. The transfers are a key step in Obama's pledge to close the detention center at Guantanamo, which currently houses some 215 detainees. The administration is not expected to meet its January deadline to shutter the facility.
In addition to the 10 detainees named Friday, Holder is expected to send others to trials and commissions in the United States.
Another, larger group of detainees is expected to be released to other countries. Some, the president has said, are too dangerous to be released and cannot be put on trial, and those detainees will continue to be imprisoned.
The attorney general says his decisions between trials and commissions were based strictly on which venues he thought would bring the strongest prosecution.
Opponents of the plan, including Holder's predecessor Michael Mukasey, have accused him of adopting a "pre-9/11" approach to terrorism.
Holder emphatically denied that.
"We are at war, and we will use every instrument of national power civilian, military, law enforcement, intelligence, diplomatic and others to win," Holder said.
Separately, a member of the Judiciary Committee, Democrat Charles Schumer of New York, is urging the administration to reimburse the city for what he says could be $75 million in extra security costs related to the terror trials.

Yet their owner, Mike Ashley, claims he has had "low level" talks with Rooney's agent over such a move. Of course this "news" appears on a new news agency website which Ashley has set up so the words "free publicity" come to mind.

In: Proceedings of the Twelfth Annual Swine Disease Conference for Swine Practitioners, Iowa State University, November 11-12, 2004, Ames, Iowa. p. 40-44. Technical Abstract: Swine influenza (SI) is an acute respiratory disease of swine caused by type A influenza viruses. Before 1998, mainly H1N1 SI viruses (SIV) were isolated from swine in the U.S. Since then, antigenetically distinct reassortant H3N2 and H1N1 SIVs have been identified as causative agents of respiratory disease in pigs on U.S. farms. The ongoing reassortment of swine influenza viruses with three subtypes of influenza virus presently circulating in the U.S. swine herd has important implications for the efficacy of current SIV vaccines. Monovalent vaccines based on various H3N2 cluster viruses were not able to induce protective immunity against all H3N2 SIVs used for challenge. The establishment of the reverse genetics system for swine influenza viruses might allow us to develop novel live attenuated virus vaccines.

History and Mission of the CCWP
Mission Statement
The mission of the Center for Civil War Photography is to educate the public about Civil War photography, its role in the conflict, and its rich variety of forms and formats; to digitally secure original images and preserve vintage prints; to enhance the accessibility of photographs to the public; and to present interpretive programs that use stereoscopic and standard images to their fullest potential.
History of the CCWP
The Center for Civil War Photography was founded in 1999 by author Bob Zeller, wet plate photographer Rob Gibson, and the late Al Benson. It was incorporated as a Pennsylvania organization in October 2001 and approved by the IRS as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in June 2002. The Center has also been on the Internet since March 2000 at http://www.civilwarphotography.org/.
Currently, the Center serves as the only clearinghouse for information about Civil War photography on the Internet. Since its creation, the Center has answered hundreds of inquires about Civil War photographs, often from people who own images of their ancestors and seek to understand more about them.
On August 10-12, 2001, the Center staged its first official function in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, The
Image of War
, a detailed seminar on battlefield photography. Since then, the Center has conducted annual seminars in locations including Antietam, Spotsylvania County/Fredericksburg, Richmond, Manassas/Washington DC.
When eighth grade teacher Beth Moceri from Northville, Michigan, inquired about the availability of slides of Civil War photographs to explain their place in American art, Center President Bob Zeller assembled and scripted a slide show about the impact and significance of the Antietam battlefield photographs. The Center now has this show available for loan to schools or groups. The slide show was used three times in 2001.
At Gibson's Gallery in Gettysburg, thousands of visitors have seen first hand what a working Civil War photography studio looks like. Hundreds have taken the opportunity to dress in period clothing for a Gibson portrait on glass using the wet-plate collodion method of the mid-19th century. Zeller, meanwhile, has mesmerized thousands since 1997 with his 3-D slide presentations of original Civil War photographs. Zeller currently has five different 3-D Civil War slide shows for presentation to groups and organizations.
Gibson and Zeller have appeared together on C-Span and The Civil War Journal. They have given demonstrations at the National Portrait Gallery, the National Archives, the Museum of the Confederacy, the Antietam National Battlefield, and numerous other locations. The Center published its first work on Civil War photography in 2002-the never-previously-complied complete catalog of Alexander Gardner's Photographic Incidents of the War, which lists more than 1,200 stereo views and 1,000 large plate images.
The Center also publishes a new book in its
99 Historic Images
... series each year in conjunction with its Image of War Seminar. The books are currently on sale at many book stores including Eastern National bookstores and online on Amazon.com.
In the summer of 2003 the Center launched its online book store. The store currently sells many Civil War photography related books as well as the Center's own publications. Patrons can also purchase memberships, give donations, and make seminar reservations securely online with their credit card.
One of our most gratifying achievements in 2005 was the installation of a permanent 3-D slide show of Civil War photographs at
Civil War Life - The Soldier's Museum
, in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The 20-minute show, which was co-produced by the Center and the museum, began daily public presentations on June 5, 2005. We plan to refine and improve the production in 2007 and eventually to convert to a digital show.
As The Center for Civil War Photography continues to move forward with several initiatives directly related to its mission, it is poised to launch perhaps the single most important project it could ever seek to undertake: the compilation, in a digital format, of every Civil War photograph ever taken. This far-reaching goal- to gather, scan and make available online all known photographs of the Civil War - will take years to fulfill, and in fact any such compilation will never be complete, since previously unknown Civil War images continue to surface on a regular basis.

LAKE CHARLES, La. The 2009 Southland Conference Women's Golf Championship came down to the final hole on Wednesday with the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's golf team down two shots to UTSA as the final threesome approached the 18th hole. With the crown the Islanders advance to the NCAA Regionals May 7-9 at one of three locations.
With her team down a stroke, Islander junior Courtney Peeler sank a birdie on the par-5, 483-yard final hole. Meanwhile, UTSA's Allie Jordan, who entered the final hole at 1-under par on the day and would win the individual title, double bogeyed the final hole. It was only Jordan's second double-bogey of the tournament with the other coming on the same hole to end round two. The three-shot swing on the final hole handed the Islanders their first Southland Conference title in golf and the athletic department's sixth SLC team title overall.
With the birdie by Peeler, A&M-Corpus Christi shot its best round of the season finishing the 56-hole event with a 300 as the Islanders begun the day one shot back. For the tournament, A&M-Corpus Christi fired a 48-over par 912 (306-304-300).
"A lot of good things had to happen for us to win this tournament," said Islander head coach Carol Blackmar. "Everyone contributed. We down by about four shots heading into the final three holes as a team and I think we ended up shooting 3- or 4-under par as a team.
"Courtney struggled and was six over after three holes but played under par of the rest of the way. All, tournament the girls did a good job of keeping their composure."
UTSA, which entered the final round tied for second with the Islanders, was second with a 301 and finished at 913 (309-303-301). McNeese State, which led by a stroke entering the final round with a 611, placed third with a 54-over par 918 (305-306-307), while Texas State was fourth at 55-over par with a 919 (313-302-304). Central Arkansas had the low round of the tournament as a team with a 296 over the final 18 holes setting a league record for lowest round in the tournament, but struggled in the first two rounds to finish fifth nine shots off the lead.
Ashley Watkins, who was ninth as an individual a season ago, was 1-under par for the final 18 holes to finish in a tie for second as an individual at 8-over for three rounds with a 224 (76-77-71). Peeler, who began the final round six over before righting the ship, finished in a tie for sixth at 10-over the tournament with 226 (76-74-76). Melissa Fahey was 19th for A&M-Corpus Christi at 17-over with a 233 (79-76-78). Senior Ashley Olynick and freshman Ryann White tied for 23rd at 235. Olynick opened with a 77 before back-to-back rounds of 79. White had an 83 in her first run through the SLC tournament but responded with a 77 and 75 in her final two rounds. Her final round 75 was crucial on the final day and matched the lowest of her brief career as an Islander.
UTSA's Jordan finished as the medalist with a 6-over 222 (73-76-73). McNeese's Lacy McKinley tied with Watkins for second overall at 224. Sam Houston State's Wendy Joyner and Linda Persson of Lamar tied for fourth at 9-over par at 225. Sydney Liles and Peeler tied for sixth at 10-over.
The regionals will be held at three different sites on May 7-9. The East Regional is at the University of Florida Golf Club in Gainesville, Fla. with the West Regional at the Karsten Golf Course at Arizona State in Tempe, Ariz. The Central Regional is to be hosted by Ohio State on the Scarlet Course in Columbus, Ohio.
"The girls really held together over the last three rounds," said Blackmar. "They have really worked hard as a team and really deserve this opportunity to go to the regionals."
