About Us > Newsroom > Test Helps Identify Asthma Patients Likely to Fail Corticosteroid Therapy
Although national and international guidelines recommend inhaled corticosteroids to control inflammation in asthma, growing evidence indicates they do not help a portion of asthma patients. New research, published in the January issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, confirms that certain patients may not benefit from inhaled corticosteroids and suggests how those patients can be identified.
"Our findings suggest that if inhaled corticosteroids do not help a patient in the first six weeks, they are unlikely to help in the long term," said Richard Martin , MD, lead author of the study and chair of medicine at National Jewish Medical and Research Center.
"Studies such as this provide important insight to help us tailor asthma therapy to individual patient needs," noted James Kiley, PhD, director of the Division of Lung Diseases for the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), which funded the study. NHLBI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the nation's medical research agency. "If these findings are confirmed in larger studies, we will be one step closer to our goal of being able to offer personalized medicine for more effective patient care."
Dr. Martin and his colleagues in the NHLBI's Asthma Clinical Research Network sought to identify characteristics that could predict an asthma patient's response to an inhaled corticosteroid. They took medical histories and performed numerous biological and physiological tests on 72 adults with asthma, then gave them a six-week course of the inhaled corticosteroid beclomethasone dipropionate (QVAR).
After six weeks, the researchers evaluated the benefits of the medication with a noninvasive lung-function test called spirometry, which measures how much air can be expelled from the lungs in one second, known as FEV1.
Thirty-nine of the patients (54%) were classified as responders to the inhaled corticosteroid because their FEV1 improved more than 5%. The other thirty-three (46%) were classified as non-responders because their FEV1 improved less than 5% or worsened. Several characteristics predicted who would do well in the six-week trial, including a good response to the rescue medication albuterol and low initial FEV1measurement.
The researchers then continued the trial with half the patients continuing to receive the inhaled corticosteroid and half receiving placebo. After 16 weeks, patients completed an asthma control questionnaire.
Patients who did not benefit from inhaled corticosteroid in the first part of the study had the same results whether they continued treatment or used placebo. Among those who initially benefited from the inhaled corticosteroid however, those who continued the medication maintained asthma control, while those who were given placebo got worse.
"In our study, almost half of patients with asthma were not helped significantly by inhaled corticosteroid," said Dr. Martin. "Although we did identify several biomarkers that predicted patients' response, other studies have identified different predictive biomarkers. We believe a more promising predictive tool is a simple lung-function test done after six weeks of therapy."
Unfortunately, there are few widely accepted alternatives to inhaled corticosteroids for the control of inflammation in asthma.
"I believe this research may cause us to reevaluate guidelines that rely so heavily on the use of inhaled corticosteroids," said Dr. Martin. "It should also spur us to seek additional therapies to help asthma patients who do not benefit from those medications."

There are plenty of things to see in today's game of baseball, but one thing you've probably never seen is a team of girls...that is, unless you've been watching Masters City Little League games this spring.
The league has the all-girl White Sox, though there's nothing white about those socks.
In fact, everything is pink. The helmets, bags, socks and jerseys are all pink, and that's just the way they like it.
"We get to wear pink shirts, and we have funky socks. No other team has pink shirts, and they don't wear polka dots," said White Sox player Kaylee Osment.
Of course, pink shirts and polka dots aren't the only thing that sets these girls apart.
Head Coach Ashleigh Phillips said, "They were originally supposed to play softball, but they didn't have enough teams for the girls so the girls decided they still wanted to play, so they decided to form a baseball team."
It's the first all-girls baseball team in Masters City history. Don't think these girls are intimidated though.
Player Mackenzie Lewis said, "When the boys see us, they think that we can play real good, but sometimes when we beat 'em, it's cool."
These girls aren't just playing. They've won a game this year, and their coach thinks that has them on everyone's radar.
Phillips said, "Once we won a game against all boys, they started bringing it out, bringing their good pitchers out, so they're scared now."
The girls are playing against a lot of their classmates, so it's made plenty of room for new boy-girl rivalries both at school and on the diamond.
"Before we start class in the morning, they always say, 'We're going to beat you today at the game," Lewis said.
Player Mackenzie Myers added, "They always say that they're going to win, and I just ignore them because you never know if you're going to win or not."
Most of the girls hadn't played softball before so there wasn't a transition period, but that wasn't true across the board.
Myers has been a pitcher on both diamonds and changing from one to the other wasn't easy.
"It's different in pitching. In softball, you have to wind your arm up, then pitch. In baseball, it's a whole different stage of pitching."
Regardless of the ribbing from classmates or the transition from one game to another, this group has blazed its trail in bright pink, and that's something that won't go away.
Osment said, "It was like the first time in the history of Masters City for there to be an all girls baseball team instead of softball so it was really exciting for me."
Phillips added, "Maybe it'll continue, maybe it won't, but if it doesn't they can at least say, 'We were in a baseball league with all boys. That's all we played."
So, the girls started because they had little other choice, but now many of them have taken to america's pastime, saying they'd rather keep playing baseball than switch to softball.

|Case Digest
|Respondent, an experienced Social Security Disability Practitioner, represented an impoverished, functionally illiterate, and physically impaired individual in a Social Security Disability case. Respondent was successful in obtaining benefits for his client. Shortly after receiving the notice of decision, which included an order formally approving the fee agreement, Respondent was issued a check by the Social Security Administration for $3,748, representing the full amount provided for in the fee agreement. Subsequent correspondence informed both Respondent as well as his client, that this amount would be the maximum fee permitted. Nevertheless, Respondent contacted his client by letter and requested additional fees of approximately $3,300. The client paid the full amount Respondent claimed he was owed. Some weeks later, both client and Respondent were advised by the Pennsylvania Office of Inspector General that Respondent would also be receiving legal fees in the approximate amount of $2,000 from that office. The Inspector Generals correspondence further advised both client and Respondent that if the amount of this legal fee caused the total amount of legal fees to which Respondent was entitled to be exceeded, that client should contact Respondent and obtain a refund. These fees were then paid to Respondent. Client subsequently attempted a series of telephone communications with Respondent about the question of excessive legal fees. Respondent denied that he had collected any excessive fees, and refused to communicate further with his client. The Social Security Administration made two attempts to recoup excessive fees from Respondent. Respondent denied he had received any fees except those approved by the SSA. The Lackawanna County Bar Association Fee Dispute Committee opined that Respondent had, in fact, been overpaid; but Respondent continued to refuse to take any remedial action or refund any money. The client filed a complaint with the office of Disciplinary Counsel. Respondent stated in his answer that he had not received any additional fees whatsoever directly from the client, and that any receipts the client claimed to have were fabricated by the client. He denied receiving any money whatsoever from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Moreover, he attached to his answer, as an exhibit, a purported letter he claimed to have sent to client., which supposedly instructed client to disregard the letter requesting additional fees. Later Respondent admitted that he had made misrepresentations, that he had received additional money directly from the client, as well as from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, that the receipts in clients possession were true and correct, and that he had fabricated the letter attached to his Answer in an effort to mislead Disciplinary Counsel. Over the next several months, he made full restitution to the client. Respondent was barred from representing clients in Social Security Administration matters. Respondent was cooperative with Disciplinary Counsels investigation. By Order dated April 28, 2009, the Supreme Court directed that Respondent be suspended for a period of 5 years.

Don't Speak
Limiting all the speeches to pre-concert talks or separate events would spare those of us in the audience who came to hear the music.
Limiting all the speeches to pre-concert talks or separate events would spare those of us in the audience who came to hear the music.
Neighborhood Public Radio is bringing something new to the table—something like guerrilla art verging on community service.
Just because something is not a premiere doesn't mean that the new music community will not show up.
Sometimes there is a fine line between stupidity and brilliance. Most of the music and art that I admire touch both ends of the spectrum simultaneously, and the more weighted towards both extremes the work gets, the more exciting its visceral impact becomes.
I don't know if concert presenters are sensing a mid-season fatigue on the part of concertgoers, but March seems to be shaping up into a heavily theme-driven month for new music here in the Big Apple. Whether or not you're a fan of these gimmicky strategies for packaging a concert, in the end it's still all about the music, plus the marketing department gets to have a little fun, too.
Composers who close themselves off from a particular sonic possibility—especially a "new" or "popular" one—are doing themselves and their music a disservice.
If you skipped last night's 50th Grammy Awards broadcast, here's what you missed.
Spray-on hair in aerosol cans: This, my friends, is a genius idea. Pure genius. However, a diametrically different adjective is required to describe said product's ultimate results: hideous. And believe it or not, this is the sort of dichotomy I try to encapsulate in composing music.
I hate to admit it, but watching Alex Ross on The Charlie Rose Show was a little bit disconcerting as my supposedly hermetically sealed artistic hovel was being infiltrated by the mainstream.
It's not easy to get a date on Valentine's Day. But who the hell cares, because there are a ton of new music concerts going on to console our eternally bleeding hearts.

Though most insurance plans are framed for both men and women, they can be tailored depending upon individual needs.
Women, for example, go through childbirth and hence, need insurance for complications during pregnancy and congenital anomalies in the newborn child. For this, Birla Sun Life has a plan called 'Woman First Plan', which is designed specially for women.

USF Campus Map
The University of South Florida Library is a modern marvel, rapidly replacing bookshelves with laptops, microfilm with digitization. The library continues to be the hub of learning and research at USF, but is doing so in dramatically different ways. In short, the information technology revolution begins here, and USF students are reaping the considerable benefits.
More than 18,000 people a day use the USF Library, availing themselves of special collections, online periodicals and innovative multi-media spaces designed with 21st century learning in mind. While you can still find hundreds of thousands of books inside, this pales in comparison to the amount of digital information you'll find at your fingertips.

Alcohol Detox Programs
In this article
Alcoholism is a chronic disease. Like other chronic diseases, if left untreated, alcoholism can have serious, life-threatening consequences. Fortunately, there are effective treatment programs for alcoholism. While details vary from program to program, alcohol detox and alcohol rehab programs share certain essential components.
What Is Alcohol Detoxification?
Alcohol detox is an important preliminary step in the management of alcoholism. It is a medically supervised period of alcohol withdrawal. During this period, a doctor may administer medications to control symptoms, and the individual is monitored by health professionals to ensure his or her safety. In addition to medical care during withdrawal from alcohol, the person usually also receives education about his or her alcohol problem and its treatment.
Medical management of alcohol withdrawal for people who are alcohol dependent is often necessary, because the symptoms of withdrawal can be dangerous. They can include:
- Sweats
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Tremors
- Anxiety
- Agitation
- Paranoia
- Hallucinations
- Seizures
Not everyone has all these symptoms, and symptom can range from mild to severe. Typically, alcohol detoxification takes place in a regular medical ward of a hospital, a specialized detoxification unit, or in an outpatient clinic. Detox, which may last a few days to more than a week, is an important and necessary preparation for treatment.
What Are the Different Kinds of Alcohol Rehab Programs?
Alcohol rehabilitation takes place in a variety of settings:
Hospital- or medical-clinic-based programs. These programs offer both alcohol detox and alcohol rehab on an inpatient basis in specialized units. They are less common than they used to be, primarily because of changes in insurance.
Residential rehab programs. These programs can last from a month to more than a year and take place in a residential environment. Often, the treatment is divided into a series of stages that the person goes through. For instance, in the beginning, a patient's contact with others, including friends and family, is strictly limited. The idea is to develop a primary relationship with the other residents who are also recovering from alcoholism. Eventually, the person will be allowed more contact with people outside the residential community and may even go back to work or school, returning home to the treatment facility each day.

My son went outside on our porch to smoke at 10:40 p.m. I went out to join him about ten minutes later because my dog was whining and I thought he needed to go out. My son was staring out the screen door and said, "do you see that"? I looked out expecting to see a coyote or similar animal which is common out here(rural area 150 acres). Instead I saw huge bright red lights hovering right above the treeline toward the middle of our mile long gravel driveway (woods on both sides of driveway). I didn't know what it was, I just knew it shouldn't be there. We never see anything out here in the middle of nowhere. I stared in shock before deciding to take a closer look. I opened the screen door and as soon as I did the lights completely vanished. Just totally disappeared. My son said, "we need to go inside now". I agreed. My son is 24 and does not scare easily. He was freaked out and will not talk about it at all anymore. He won't go outside after dark now and pulls all of the curtains closed when the sun goes down. What he told me before he shut up completely about it was that when he first noticed the lights they were red and blinked rapidly, then they went white and then the shape appeared to be halo graphic. He told me that they turned solid bright red right before I came out. Since that night my husband and I have both seen increased activity in the sky at night. There is seldom any kind of air traffic here day or night. Now, nightly there are flashing red lights, bright white balls of light that appear and disappear, red blinking lights that will have a bright white blinking light that follows behind it, and once a round green blinking light hovered in same spot as the first sighting. Most of the lights we see come from a north west direction and go south east then turn and go north. The past few nights when I've been sitting on the porch with my dog (all three times between 10:15 p.m. and 11:00 p.,), my dog will start whining and getting agitated. He will nudge me and sit by the door to go in the house, and the past two nights he actually started barking. My dog is a pitbull/boxer mix. He's very smart, protective and DOES not bark unless there is something serious enough to bark at. When he barks, I listen. It took me a while to search anything out about this. Honestly, I was afraid of what I would find out. I'm having a real hard time living out here now and am noticing more strange things like static on radio, weird clicking noises outside etc. I might be imagining things due to what we've seen. But whatever the case may be, I'm not relaxed out here in the country anymore. My anxiety level is through the roof, especially when it gets dark. I feel like I have to watch the sky at night, but am scared of what I will see. Not sure what I should be doing or not doing. Would love to hear I'm imagining things, it's nothing and not to worry about it. I could really use some help here.

The trial of Maj. Nidal Hasan for the 2009 shootings at Fort Hood has officially become a mockery of justice. Hasan is openly mocking the system with his antics. And, unfortunately, the presiding military judge is giving him a wide berth to proceed.
Hasan wanted to plead guilty. I think he wanted martyrdom from the start when he entered a Fort Hood medical facility for deploying soldiers and opened fire, killing 13 and wounding 32. But instead of dying in a blaze of glory, all he got was a gunshot wound that left him paralyzed from the waist down. He is now as close as he can get to hell, totally dependent on his infidel captors. And I think a prison cell is exactly where he needs to stay for the rest of his life. The death penalty would be too easy a way out for him. Alas, the military court will not allow him to plead guilty because the death penalty remains a viable possibility for him if he is convicted of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.
Hasan managed to delay the trial with a side argument about whether he should be allowed to grow a beard or not, claiming that the beard is an expression of his Muslim faith. This is where the mockery began. He was a Muslim when he joined the Army, and although he was a practicing, devout Muslim throughout his service, he abided by Army regulations that required him to be clean-shaven. Now that he's on trial, he is claiming a special religious exception, even though he still wears the uniform just as he did before the shootings. I'm still perplexed by the court's decision to allow the beard.
Then Hasan complained about his court-appointed defense lawyers. He told the judge he wanted to represent himself. Additional delays earned a well-deserved warning from the judge that Hasan was running out of time. After much back-and-forth, the judge ruled this week that Hasan is mentally competent, and she allowed him to represent himself. That means he will be allowed to directly cross-examine witnesses, including people he shot.
Now Hasan wants a delay so he can have more time to prepare his case. And the judge is considering it!
And Hasan plans as his defense argument that he opened fire on deploying troops because, he claims, the soldiers present were going to Afghanistan to kill Taliban members. By shooting the soldiers, Hasan claims he was defending the Taliban, including Mullah Muhammad Omar, the Taliban leader.
And still, amazingly, the judge regards Hasan as mentally competent.
This is the worst kind of mockery of American military justice. I can understand the judge's decision to err on the side of caution and grant Hasan significant leeway, since every aspect of this case is likely to be reviewed on appeal. But sometimes, a judge has to exercise authority as the manager of the court and declare firmly: Enough is enough.

DH and I moved to a new town just a little over a year ago and I'm having the hardest time making friends! I am involved in different things - our church, a MOPS group, library story time - but haven't made any real friends. I know part of the problem is me. My BFF from college really hurt me (loooong story) and we no longer talk so I guess I'm kind of leary of being hurt again. I'm good at being nice to people, but bad at really being open and honest with people. The second issue is that we moved to a small town so even if I were good at making friends, I don't think people here are really open to that. Most everyone I've met is nice, but it's kind of like "I've had the same friends since kindergarten and I'll be nice to you, but you're not really one of us." I just feel kind of like an outsider, you know? I even started playing Bunco with a group of girls, but they all grew up together and go to church together (a different church than I go to) so I'm still sort of an outsider!
Plus, the fact that I stay at home doesn't help much either. I just don't do anything for me and don't have any outlet to get out and meet new people. I'm really starting to get lonely. My family is 5 hours away and I still talk to my friends at home, but I don't have anyone to just call and hang out with! Can you hear the whine in my voice? Sorry about that! I know I DO sound whiney, but I just need a friend! Anyone else have a similar experience?

The Flight into Egypt
Based on the Gospel of Matthew (2:13-15), the narrative of "The Flight into Egypt" received rich elaboration in apocryphal Gospels, such as the Gospel of Thomas and of the Pseudo-Matthew. The fresco in the abbey Basilica shows Joseph carrying a walking stick and bindlestiff and wearing a Greek traveling hat. He leads the Virgin Mary, who is seated on a donkey and cradling the sleeping Christ Child. Following them is an angel, whose flowing tunic reflects the forward motion of Joseph and the donkey. Of this nocturnal flight in Egypt (note the eclipsed moon in the upper right corner of the panel) Matthew writes: "This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, 'Out of Egypt I have called my son.'"
An intriguing detail of this panel is the crumbling idol that falls from its pedestal as the Holy Family passes. This is an elaboration from the Gospel narrative. The idol is based on Thoth, the Egyptian baboon or monkey god of mathematics, writing, and wisdom. The idol clutches a broken writing instrument and contrasts with the Christ Child as Word of God and Wisdom.
At the base of the column, between the hind feet of the donkey is the date 1896, the year in which the fresco was painted.
Lilies of the valley blossom at the feet of the Blessed Mother while poisonous mushrooms grow near the column. The donkey shown here is the only complete animal of the Basilica's art (with the exception of birds), but its legs are not painted in the proper position for walking.

OAKLAND -- Montclair is getting an artistic makeover.
Daniel Swafford, executive director of the Montclair Village Association, has made it his mission to bring art to the village, tucking murals and art installations in every suitable nook and cranny he can find, from vacant storefronts to Montclair pond, and now, the three utility boxes that dot the village.
"We are taking ownership of our community," Swafford said. "We took advantage of the utility boxes scattered around the village."
The project, funded by the Montclair Village Association, commissioned a trio of local artists -- Dan Fontes, Caroline Stern and James Swinson -- to depict flowers native to Oakland.
"It's more personal and educational," Fontes said. "This is an appropriate subject. A lot of people don't know that Oakland has a flower, the Oakland star tulip, named after it."
The artists have been collaborating on creating public art and murals for two decades and their work can be seen around the city.
However, this is their first outdoor endeavor in Montclair.
"Montclair is this dreamy little fantasy community where everything works. I've never worked in the place where people were 100 percent supportive. Even the kids were enthusiastic," Fontes said.
"Public art has an impact on creating neighborhood identity. An attractive streetscape encourages people to come out and visit, and be involved," Swafford said.
"People just love their neighborhood," Stern said. "Our city has so much to offer. We love architecture and natural beauty. We want to make it a better place to live. Creativity helps to heal."
"To be able to do creativity at all is a beautiful thing," Swinson said. "We all have our individual artistic endeavors. When we have a visual end that justifies its means, it's a wonderful accomplishment. You have to fight for your creative right. It's not something that is given to you."
Each artist has an individual niche. Stern specializes in fine art and decorative painting. Her work can be seen in many homes and restaurants in the area. She has joined forces with Fontes on many public art and mural projects.
Fontes is a muralist by trade with a long list of projects.
Swinson is a contemporary painter gravitating toward multimedia materials in many of his pieces. He has partnered with Stern for two decades, doing faux finish in homes and restaurants.
After completing the utility boxes, the artist trio moved into Crogan's, giving the restaurant a new look by painting murals of Oakland landmarks, depicting the city's history and culture, on the walls of the dining room.
"I love having art in the community. I think it is great. It makes a community more unique and beautiful. It's just what we need. It puts us on the map," said Christine Dougherty, a Montclair resident and artist.
"Whether it's other parts of the country or Oakland, there is a resurgence of street art," Swafford said. "People are embracing opportunities to make things more beautiful. Taking a utility box that is blight and making it attractive. It gives personality to a neighborhood. That's why it's fun to live here. Each neighborhood is unique in atmosphere, food and small businesses."

A Flock of Seagulls....and Skimmers
Category: Places
Photo and caption by Nicole Wrisley
The beaches of Galveston, TX are a favorite stop-over for many different species of bird. I, however, was looking for the Black Skimmers which hang around all year. Just as I was about to snap a great shot, a man in a truck decided to scatter the happily resting birds. Fortunate for me...not so much for the birds.

Stop The Spray, your toxic fragrance must go away!
Teens Turning Green is committed to stoping the the pollution of our air, and bodies by demanding that toxic fragrances such as A + F's "Fierce" be banned from production. In order to encourage discussion and awareness of this issue Teens Turning Green is opening an anonymous forum. We want to hear your story, whether you feel comfortable sharing your name or not.
Have you worked at A + F and experienced health problems because of prolonged exposure to their fragrances? Or are you a consumer who cant stand to even walk by the store because of the smell? Other things to share? Let us know!

A new study by Campaign for Safe Cosmetics reveals that Abercrombie + Fitch Fierce contains many hidden chemicals that post a health risk. Daily, A + F requires staff to repeatedly spray Fierce in the store's dressing rooms, retail space, on the clothing, and from ceiling sprayers that blow the spray outside the stores into the commons. Teens Turning Green is calling on A + F to stop spraying toxic and untested chemicals without notification or consent! We want this action to STOP! Please join us to demand that A + F cease this practice immediately.
To: Mike Jeffries, CEO, Abercrombie + Fitch (View the video letter)
We, the undersigned, are formally demanding that Abercrombie + Fitch immediately stop spraying Fierce fragrance in and around all A + F stores, permeating indoor and common outdoor air space with harmful chemicals. Spraying a fragrance with harmful ingredients has negative impact on environmental and human health in particular for A + F employees and shoppers. All are being exposed to these ingredients without notifying them of potential harm and without consent. Everyone has a right to clean air, and to informed consent about chemical exposure. The A + F policy of using air sprayers inside stores that waft into common areas outside the stores is violating those rights.
A study recently completed by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics showed that the Fierce fragrance contained more ingredients than were on the label. According to product tests conducted at an independent lab, and a science analysis of chemicals on the label, A + F's Fierce was found to contain:
- 11 chemicals not listed on the label due to a loophole in federal law that allows companies to claim fragrance ingredients as trade secrets.
- 8 sensitizing chemicals associated with allergic reactions such as asthma, wheezing, headaches and contact dermatitis.
- Diethyl phthalate – a chemical linked in recent human studies to sperm damage in adult men, abnormal reproductive development in baby boys, and behavioral problems in children.
The Village at Corte Madera, an open air mall in Marin County, California, with an A + F store has received many shopper complaints reporting experiencing negative effects from the A + F fragrance, including headaches, sore throats, coughing and nausea. Because of the complaints and follow-up by mall management, this particular A + F store agreed to remove the two sprayers at the front of the store. This demonstrates that there can be simple change in practices to protect our air, health and environment.
We are prepared to mobilize similar efforts to stop the spraying of this harmful fragrance at A + F stores in locations across the country if this practice doesn't stop.
Please advise us of your intent within 30 days to stop the practice of spraying harmful products in your stores and in the commons around your stores.

Charlotte, NC - Harris Teeter is proud to announce a record year for its Together in Education (TIE) Program. Parents and supporters earned $1,491,862 during the 2006-2007 school year. TIE was developed in 1998 and since its inception $9,774 ,709 has been donated to schools throughout the seven states Harris Teeter serves.
What does this mean for area schools? It means, when they return from summer vacation they will have money for new books, playground equipment, musical instruments, field trips, teacher workshops, scholarships and other items that don't fit into area schools ever shrinking budgets. Schools distribute the funds how they see fit. Many schools focus giving on their athletic booster clubs, their PTA, the band, and other extra-curricular activities.
Each year, during the month of June, Harris Teeter sends checks to schools that are linked to the Together in Education program. The growing popularity of the TIE program is amazing and Harris Teeter looks f orward to increasing the number of schools linked to the program and providing additional students and teachers with the supplies they need.
"Harris Teeter customers are committed to the education of children in their communities. The TIE program gives them an easy way to ensure a better quality of life for their children and it is simple," notes Fred Morganthall, President of Harris Teeter.
Customers sign up with their VIC card and when they purchase Harris Teeter brand products, a percentage of those purchase dollars goes to the schools of their choice.
Don't forget supporters must link their VIC cards again beginning on August 1st, 2007 for the upcoming school year. Everyone can link their card whether they have a child in school or not and each card can be linked to up to 5 different schools. Schools are encouraging everyone they know to get linked and help achieve another record year of donations.
Harris Teeter is proud of its efforts to support area schools and encourages everyone to link their VIC card to their school and "be a part of the solution."

BARTONSVILLE — There could soon be movement on a modified plan for the stalled Marshalls Creek Bypass project.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation plans to present a modified version of the bypass at an Oct. 8 open house at the Middle Smithfield Township municipal building.
At a meeting with municipal leaders on Thursday, PennDOT engineers presented several construction options that they hope will alleviate some of the traffic congestion at the busy intersection of Route 209, Route 209 Business, Route 402 and Marshalls Creek Road.
At the Oct. 8 open house in Middle Smithfield, PennDOT will announce which one of the proposed plans they will pursue to modify the original planned bypass.
PennDOT still has to finalize funding for the project, which is expected to cost around $30 million.
While PennDOT engineers are not yet set on which of the proposals they will settle on, most of Thursday's meeting focused on a plan to build a new road south of the intersection that will connect Route 209 south and north of the intersection. That road would go south of the Village Center shopping complex.
The bypass project originally called for the construction of alternate routes and widening existing roads and was budgeted for $68 million. Phase 1 of the three-phase project alone cost $75 million when PennDOT put the brakes on the project in April. PennDOT has said since construction stopped that the project would be reworked and then continue.
At an Aug. 13 meeting with municipal leaders, PennDOT made the commitment to construct a park-and-ride bus station near the flea market north of Marshalls Creek and finish construction on a new portion of Oak Grove Drive that was started as a part of Phase 1. That phase of construction is scheduled to be finished by winter 2009.

Now the property of its main creditor, Big Dog Motorcycles has ceased production and can no longer honor warranties, custom builder Cyril Huze reported today on his blog.
After speaking with a receptionist at Big Dog's headquarters in Wichita, Kan., Dealernews left a message with a company executive and is awaiting a callback.
Rick Fairless, whose dealership, Strokers Dallas, carries Big Dog, spoke with company owner Sheldon Coleman this morning. "Sheldon called me and said the bank was taking over operations, and that the bank was shutting down the production line," he told Dealernews. "So Big Dog Motorcycles as we know it has ceased to exist. It's a sad, sad day."
Fairless has been an enthusiastic Big Dog dealer since opening his doors. "This was in '96 when nobody was really doing the production custom motorcycles like that," he said.
Fairless is down to five Big Dog units on his showroom floor and expects to take a loss on each. "But we saw this coming," he said. "I went through this with the original Titan Motorcycle Co., and I went through it with American IronHorse, and I went through it with Wild West."
What about replacement parts? "There's going to be a new company formed by Sheldon that's going to continue to make and sell parts for Big Dogs," Fairless said. "So those guys aren't going to be out in the cold.
"The guys who are going to be out in the cold," he added, "are the guys who have a warranty that will be null and void."
All Big Dog motorcycles came with a two-year warranty. The company started producing motorcycles in 1994 and has built more than 25,000. In 2010 its lineup include seven models in three classes — pro-street, chopper-style and touring.

Nadal Says Not Fit Enough to Defend Olympic Title in London
Reigning Olympic tennis champion Rafael Nadal withdrew from the London Games because he said he's in no shape to play. He had been scheduled to lead the Spanish team into the opening ceremony, carrying the national flag.
"I didn't find myself in a fit enough condition to compete in the Olympics," Nadal, a 11-time Grand Slam singles champion from Spain, said in an e-mailed statement today.
He had been treated for tendinitis in the knee but gave no details about his current condition.
"I had to think of my teammates, I could not be egotistical," said Nadal, who won his seventh French Open title last month. "I had to think about Spanish sport, especially tennis, to allow a teammate of mine to play who is better prepared and in the right shape to compete."
The Olympics start July 27 with the opening ceremony. Tennis begins a day later, at the grass courts of Wimbledon.
"It is one of the saddest days of my career as one of my biggest ambitions, that of being Spain's flag bearer in the opening ceremony of the games in London, cannot be," Nadal said. "You can imagine how difficult it was to take this decision."
On July 4, Nadal said in a statement that he had knee tendinitis and that doctors had told him to rest for two weeks. He canceled a July 14 exhibition match in Madrid against Australian Open winner Novak Djokovic of Serbia.
The left-handed Nadal, who lost to No. 100-ranked Lukas Rosol in the second round at Wimbledon, has struggled with injuries throughout his career. In 2009, he pulled out of Wimbledon, where he was defending champion at the time, with knee tendinitis. He took the month of February off this year to recover from a shoulder injury.

It's Friday - I'm in love
Week 50. Really. 50. That means just two weeks and one day and she will be one! This is currently her favorite thing to do. I have conceded defeat, at least until tomorrow. I bought locks for the cabinets and Sean will be installing them tomorrow. Here she is having a blast with hot chocolate and apple cider packets. The other night it was goldfish. Our dog loved that because Carolina fed her also! ha!

I Need a Moment Please
to brag on my amazing husband, who I don't take enough pictures of apparently. Having two babies in one year pretty much wreaked havoc on my body. Muscles and skin were stretched and big and then stretched and big again pretty much right away. I have been trying to do something about that and slowly my jeans have gotten way too big. The problem, the next size jeans I owned were still tight. I needed the size in between. I kept complaining, but not doing anything about it. So for Valentines day, my sweet husband brought me these roses (the yellow daisies were Gracie's) and a package from the Buckle. He went and bought a pair of jeans he liked and had everything there so I could exchange them. He said he had no idea what size, but he bought the style he liked and I could just go get the right size. They.fit.me.perfectly! Who needs Cinderella's slipper when you have a cool pair of jeans that fit great!! ha! He took me shopping again today so I could get a few more pairs. You would have to know Sean, and how much he hates malls, to know how big this was. He may not be perfect, but it is the little things, like going to the mall and making me buy things for me and not the kids, that shows me he loves me.

Week 49. I love these pictures! Bed head, mess behind her (she loves to empty her diaper bag), beautiful blue eyes and all! It has been a very busy week around here. She turned 11 months on Saturday, but we were in Tulsa so I didn't get a post up, I will get that soon. She also took some steps on Monday night. The big kids had already gone to bed so it was just Sean and I. I was so glad we both saw her first steps! We worked with her a while before we got the camera out, so she was pretty much done when we got the video, but there is one step on there. I will post that with her 11 month post!

Weekend in Tulsa
We spent the weekend in Tulsa playing volleyball, going to Incredible Pizza, and not sleeping at the hotel! The volleyball was not so great on Saturday, but a lot of fun on Sunday. Incredible Pizza was nuts. Carolina did not sleep either night, but slept wonderfully last night and has already taken a great nap this morning! I did get to eat Cheesecake Factory for Valentines Day ~ while all three kids along! ha!

Don't get me wrong. The snow is pretty, but if you take a 13 and 9 year old who are used to going and going and going and sit at home with them for a few days, it is enough to make you want to pull your hair out! I have also had to drive in it. Marrying a man from Minnesota has its perks. Never having to drive in the snow is one of them. Yesterday I thought I left to get the kids before it got bad. It was sort of bad. What was worse was the panic attack I had waiting for Grace to come to the office because everyone in there was talking about how many accidents they saw on the way in and how many times they slid and how they should close such and such road. I made it home. Garrett almost did not make it with me though. I was praying out loud while going up a hill and Garrett was in the back seat quiet like I asked, then all of a sudden he says "I hope we survive." Not what I needed to hear! Anyway. I am ready for spring and will never be moving North, and we are supposed to get a lot more snow Wednesday. At least I have time to plan some snow day activities.

Week 47! It has been snowing and icing like crazy around here. Another day snowed in means we have pictures!! She still won't walk on her own, but she is -><- this close. She is wearing 24 month clothes and eating everything we do. I am hardly making food at all for her. She loves string cheese and blueberries. She has a cold and will only sleep if I am holding her. I have tried the whole cry it out thing a few times, but I think I will really get serious about it after she is better.

The Heartland Heritage and Habitat Initiative focuses on a major staging area for waterfowl during both spring and fall migrations. Dynamic and highly productive seasonal wetlands, braided prairie rivers, and backwater sloughs are priority habitats that provide high-energy food resources for millions of ducks and geese. Publicly managed wildlife areas also offer excellent hunting opportunities for veteran and novice waterfowlers.
The Southern Great Plains is a mostly arid place, making water a valuable commodity. Many cities are thirsty and their populations are consuming more water each year. The needs of waterfowl and other wildlife often are not even part of the conversation.
As part of our Heartland Heritage and Habitat Initiative, Ducks Unlimited is implementing water solutions for all on the Southern Great Plains—solutions that will work for people while still providing for waterfowl. Through this effort, DU is bringing together farmers, ranchers, industry, public entities, and conservation partners to provide habitat in some of North America's most important waterfowl migration areas.
Among the most notable sections of the Heartland Heritage and Habitat Initiative area are the Platte River, Rainwater Basin, and wetlands dotting the Kansas landscape, such as Jamestown Wildlife Area. These three components of the Southern Great Plains comprise some of North America's most important waterfowl migration areas and will require unique conservation strategies to ensure a strong future for the birds and the waterfowl hunters and enthusiasts who enjoy them.
An Oasis for Migrating Birds and Hunters
Ducks Unlimited is restoring and protecting wetlands along the south, north, and central Platte River in Nebraska, Colorado,and Wyoming to provide an oasis for migrating waterfowl and other wetland birds, such as sandhill cranes. DU is restoring and protecting wetlands along the Platte that provide water for agriculture, communities, waterfowl, and other wildlife. These conserved lands also help preserve our cherished hunting heritage in the region.
Spring in Nebraska is a spectacle to behold when millions of migrating waterfowl stop in the Rainwater Basin on their way to the northern breeding grounds. The birds need good-quality foods high in protein and carbohydrates to prepare for nesting. DU is working with landowners and public agencies to restore habitat to provide for waterfowl on private and public lands.
Kansas is one of the most productive agricultural states in the country, so it is easy to understand why land for waterfowl comes at a premium here. DU is working hard to provide habitat for migrating waterfowl and public access for hunters across Kansas.
Ducks Unlimited is seeking to raise nearly $2.3 million in philanthropic funds from generous donors like you to achieve our conservation goals in the Southern Great Plains. Funding derived from the Heartland Heritage and Habitat Initiative enables Ducks Unlimited to conduct important science, public policy, and outreach efforts, as well as conserving the breeding habitats important to waterfowl that migrate through this region each year. DU's
research and evaluation efforts are the foundation upon which our direct conservation programs and our policy and outreach work are based.
Conservation work under the Heartland Heritage and Habitat Initiative will focus on continentally significant migration habitat along the Platte River in Nebraska, Colorado, and Wyoming; in Nebraska's Rainwater Basin; and in publicly managed wetlands in Kansas. Waterfowl in the Central Flyway depend on the wetlands and river habitat in America's Heartland to rest and refuel as they make their way north to the nesting grounds and south to the wintering grounds. DU is working to restore and protect wetlands and provide water for people and waterfowl on this thirsty landscape. In addition to major donor support, this critical habitat depends on public dollars, which DU is working to secure through public policy efforts.
Waterfowl are a continentally shared resource, and Ducks Unlimited has worked across North America since 1937 to ensure a strong future for ducks and for waterfowl hunters. By contributing to DU's Heartland Heritage and Habitat Initiative, you will be supporting important waterfowl habitat conservation in America's heartland, as well as on the breeding grounds of the Prairie Pothole Region and Western Boreal Forest of the United States and Canada, where the vast majority of birds are produced before beginning their journey to the wintering grounds.
Five-Year Initiative Goals (FY 2012-16)
Habitat Delivery: 10,019 acres
Public Revenue: $23.7 million
Philanthropic Revenue: $2.3 million
Total Revenue Goal: $26 million
Initiative States:
Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming.
Conservation Focus:
Providing water for people and waterfowl on a thirsty landscape
Waterfowl are a continentally shared resource, and Ducks Unlimited has worked across North America since 1937 to ensure a strong future for ducks and for waterfowl hunters.

What were Mark Rubio's key messages when he delivered the Republican response to the State of the Union address? The traditional media are picking key themes and taking sides editorially. But the social media are making a big splash of Rubio's clumsy attempt at wetting his whistle.
The reminder here for all of us is to conduct -- well, a dry run -- before an important presentation. Your message or the big boss' message can get lost in a comic gaffe. When such a stumble occurs, making fun of oneself is an endearing escape to steer the audience back to the message.
Many have been supportive; others are joking about it. My favorite in the latter category is the swig heard 'round he world in slow motion with music: http://deadspin.com/5983866/lets-all-watch-marco-rubios-panicked-drink-of-water-in-extreme-slow-motion?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow.
For comments pro and con, a decent conversation thread can be found after a text of the speech at http://swampland.time.com/2013/02/12/sen-marco-rubios-response-to-obamas-state-of-the-union-address-transcript/.
Of more interest to me will be the response, if any, from Poland Spring water, the brand Rubio gulped on national TV. One Tweeter wrote, "Poland Spring Water hasn't Tweeted since July, 2010. Right now, their rep is frantically trying to remember the password." Another wrote, "interested to see the polandsprings PR response tomorrow... maybe this will force them to join the 21st century aka twitter." (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23PolandSprings&src=hash)
I don't know one way or the other about Poland Spring on Twitter, but they tweet on their website. Literally. (http://www.polandspring.com/#/home) It's an attractive, informational site. The /Facebook link reveals a page with Poland Spring's remarks but nothing from the consuming public.
I think Rubio and fellow Republicans need to hammer away at Rubio's key themes so they don't get lost in jokes. Poland Spring isn't in a crisis, but it has an opportunity to promote its product through this silly slip of a sip.
