At Mayo Clinic, we take the time to listen, to find answers and to provide you the best care.
In most cases, a conservative approach to treatment is effective, especially if your condition is diagnosed early. Treatment may include:
Physical therapy. If you have neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome, physical therapy is the first line of treatment. You'll learn how to do exercises that strengthen and stretch your shoulder muscles to open the thoracic outlet, improve your range of motion and improve your posture.
These exercises, done over time, may take the pressure off your blood vessels and nerves in the thoracic outlet.
Your doctor may recommend surgery if other treatment hasn't been effective, if you're experiencing ongoing symptoms or if you have progressive neurological problems.
A surgeon trained in chest (thoracic) surgery or blood vessel (vascular) surgery will perform the procedure.
Thoracic outlet syndrome surgery has risks of complications, such as injury to the brachial plexus. Also, surgery may not relieve your symptoms, and symptoms may reoccur. Your muscle strength may not return after surgery if you have serious neurological damage due to the condition.
Surgery to treat thoracic outlet syndrome, called thoracic outlet decompression, may be performed using several different approaches, including:
Transaxillary approach. In this surgery, your surgeon makes an incision in your chest to access the first rib, divide the muscles in front of the rib and remove a portion of the first rib to relieve compression.
This approach gives your surgeon easy access to the first rib without disturbing the nerves or blood vessels.
However, it allows your surgeon limited access to the area's nerves and vessels, making it difficult to see muscles and cervical ribs that may be contributing to compression behind the nerves and blood vessels.
Supraclavicular approach. This approach repairs compressed blood vessels. Your surgeon makes an incision just under your neck to expose your brachial plexus region.
Your surgeon then looks for signs of trauma or muscles contributing to compression near your first (uppermost) rib. Your surgeon may remove the muscles causing the compression and repair compressed blood vessels. Your first rib may be removed if necessary to relieve compression.
In venous or arterial thoracic outlet syndrome, your surgeon may deliver medications to dissolve blood clots prior to thoracic outlet compression. Also, in some cases, your surgeon may conduct a procedure to remove a clot from the vein or artery or repair the vein or artery prior to thoracic outlet decompression.
If you have arterial thoracic outlet syndrome, your surgeon may need to replace the damaged artery with a section of an artery from another part of your body (graft) or an artificial graft. This procedure may be done at the same time as your procedure to have the first rib removed.

OK, that's an overly poetic intro to making a bunch of white fabric turn purple but I thought you might like to see how it all happens here in the Tie Dye Diva studio. I was asked recently to dye some fabric for a customer from white with blue and pink stripes to kind of a grayish purple. Normally I cringe at the request to dye-to-match, but I agreed to give it a go, you know, in the name of keeping mauve alive. So armed with yards and yards and yards of this fabric:
And a wee little swatch of silk in the color I was to match
I headed off into the Journey Toward Puce. First I tried some swatches, three of them, just by eyeballing the swatch. I tried purple + brown, purple + a true red mixed from fuschia and orange, and "mixing blue" + true red. Oddly, purple + brown and purple + red were really similar.
Mixing blue (a deep cobalt) and red were way off, I won't even post that one. I chose the purple + brown as the best match. After some fifth-grade math to figure out how to adjust my proportions for the weight of the yardage as compared with the little swatches, I was ready to go.
So ... pasted-up dye sludge
(later diluted and filtered, steps impossible to photograph without a third or possibly a fourth hand)
plus a large non-reactive vat (yup, Sterilite bin)
plus 6 cups of regular, though non-iodized, table salt
plus 6 gallons of water and my cauldron stirrer .. heh heh, my pretty!
plus fabric, fed in carefully so that it was scrunched rather than overlapping (I have seen some dyers recommend accordion folding fabric in a vat, personally I find this makes the layers stick together and dye unevenly. And yes that is my ugly orange size 10 Croc. Want to make something of it?)
plus 20 minutes soak time
(plus mixing and then adding soda ash solution, again, alas, I have forgotten my third hand today)
plus an hour more
= time to rinse out! Here it is hose-rinsed and already looking pretty good.
Now, waiting for the washer to do its job, hot hot water, along with some professional textile detergent to remove all the loose dye molecules
And a tumble in the dryer =
Success! We have arrived at Pucey Taupe. Or maybe Mauvey-Puce. In any event, it's a match!

I am in awe of your color matching skills! Great job.
The first thing I thought of when reading the word puce was that scene from Monsters Inc when Sully is sorting through forms. :) I don't know why, but I always thought puce was an odd green shade - I stand corrected.

Thanks dyeabolical! Maybe the odd green shade you are thinking of is "puke"? ;)

Wow, amazing jopb! I could never get a good match by just eyeing a swatch!
Haha, I thought of Monster's Inc too, Sully says "so that's puce?"

The Odyssey
by Homer
The Odyssey Hospitality Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Book.Line)
Quote #7
(Odysseus:) "So she spoke to them, and the rest gave voice, and called her and at once she opened the shining doors, and came out, and invited them in, and all in their innocence entered; only Eurylochos waited outside, for he suspected treachery. She brought them inside and seated them on chairs and benches, and mixed them a potion, with barley and cheese and pale honey added to Pramneian wine, but put into the mixture malignant drugs, to make them forgetful of their own country. When she had given them this and they had drunk it down, next thing she struck them with her wand and drove them into her pig pens, and they took on the look of pigs, with the heads and voices and bristles of pigs, but the minds within them stayed as they had been before." (10.229-241)
Circe isn't eating her guests, but she's doing the next worse thing: serving them poisoned food. We're not sure if it's actually in the rule book, but turning your guests into pigs is probably not going to win you the gods' favor. Even if you are a sorceress.
Quote #8
(Eumaios:) "You too, old man of many sorrows, since the spirit brought you here to me, do not try to please me nor spell me with lying words. It is not for that I will entertain and befriend you, but for fear of Zeus, the god of guests, and for my own pity." (14.386-389)
Eumaios doesn't want to hear a bunch of sob stories about how Odysseus just needs $20 so he can buy a bus ticket to Memphis. He's going to give him the $20 because it's the right thing to do. (Warning: this is an analogy. Please think carefully before giving $20 to strangers on the street, even if they do need it for a bus ticket to Memphis.)
Quote #9
(Menelaos:) 'I would disapprove of another hospitable man who was excessive in friendship, as of one excessive in hate. In all things balance is better.' (15.69-71)
Menelaos says that you have to be moderate even in being hospitable, but we have to wonder: with Alkinoös throwing a feast and Nestor coating a cow's horns in gold before slaughtering it, what exactly counts as "moderate"?

|Oct 16 2009, 11:46 PM Post #1
Since this work is over 80k words, I am including the lin to one of the sites I post it on.
The Long Road Home is long, but I think worth the read...and I have thousands of readers who have convinced me of that. I love to write, it is my passion, and I love Stephenie Meyer's creations, so I work hard to adhere to canon and be true to the characters. I am also passionate about history, so be assured that if I have written it, I've researched it. The techniques used to "treat" Alice that are detailed in Chapter 1 were real...poor thing. The POV alternates between Alice & Jasper. I am also very OCD about my writing: you won't find typos, bad grammar, text-speak, or silliness here, although there is romance, humor, action, and drama. I hope you'll give it a chance and comment or review, I love the feedback, it helps me make the stories better. Thanks for taking the time to read!

Official Holdout Begins for Doughty
Lombardi says team has made competitive offer but sides have yet to agree
Friday, 09.16.2011 / 1:16 PM PT / Los Angeles Kings | News
By Rich Hammond
Doughty, a restricted free agent, does not have a contract for the 2011-12 season. In the absence of a last-minute agreement, Doughty will be home in suburban Toronto as teammates begin on-ice practice sessions tomorrow morning in El Segundo.
Negotiations between the Kings and Doughty's agent, Don Meehan, have been ongoing since June but have been fruitless. General manager Dean Lombardi said his offer to Doughty would put him "at the top of our team'" in salary. The Kings are believed to have offered Doughty an average salary of $6.8 million, equal to that of Anze Kopitar.
Lombardi declined to discuss specifics, in terms of his offers to Doughty, but in an interview Friday, seemed to hold firm that he would not increase his offer.
"This is not an issue of spending money," Lombardi said. "But what people sometimes don't realize is, it's easy to say, 'Well, just pay a little more.' Under this system, that can really hurt you, as far as keeping other key components of your team.
"So even though the [salary] number is still, I think, fair in terms of the league and the team, where we're at now is the most we can and feel comfortable that we can keep all the pieces necessary to be a contender, year in and year out."
Lombardi indicated that the team's most recent offer was now off the table, and that any further offers would reflect how many days of training camp Doughty misses.
"There has to be some finality, in terms of when the players are supposed to report," Lombardi said. "You do this based on 275 days of work, and now it's down to 274.
"There's no doubt in my mind that this kid is going to play here and play here a long time. But now, like I said, missing a day of work has to be factored into this. It's no different than any other player. The lines of communication are certainly open. There was a cordial discussion last night, and that's it."
Based on a contract offer of $6.8 million, each day of work out equal just under $25,000.
Doughty, 21, has been a key member of the Kings' defensive unit since they drafted him with the No. 2 overall pick in 2008. Doughty made the Kings' roster as an 18-year-old rookie and, in his second season, was one of three finalists for the Norris Trophy.
Last season, Doughty's point total slipped from 59 to 40 but he still led the Kings in average ice time and was a key contributor in all areas of the game.
The Kings had hoped to sign Doughty to a long-term contract shortly after the end of the season, and held a series of negotiations, with Lombardi traveling to Toronto three times for face-to-face talks with Meehan. The two sides could not reach agreement.
Contract talks picked up intensity again in August, but they haven't led to an agreement. Lombardi described himself as disappointed that Doughty is not in camp, but seemed to indicate that he was waiting for the other side to budge in terms of negotiations.
"I can't think of discussing something that hasn't already been discussed. I honestly can't," Lombardi said. "We're probably just tapped out, even from talking, but it doesn't mean we won't."
TSN's Bob McKenzie reported Friday afternoon that Meehan "declined comment when asked" about Lombardi's statements today. Lombardi said he had a brief direct conversation with Doughty last week, but did not get into contract specifics.
"What we have [offered] is no doubt an expression of how we feel about him as a player and a person," Lombardi said.

UPS Deploys Three Fuel-Cell-Powered Delivery Trucks
UPS announced on August 26th that it will place three fuel-cell-powered delivery trucks in service in California and Michigan. DaimlerChrysler is providing the vehicles, which are a fuel-cell version of the Dodge Sprinter delivery truck. The new vehicles have a range of about 155 miles and accelerate as well as current UPS vehicles. And thanks to housing the fuel-cell system in the floor, the vehicles also boast a 10 percent increase in cargo capacity compared to the diesel-powered version of the Sprinter. The UPS announcement was made in Los Angeles, where the first vehicle was deployed; the other two vehicles will be placed into service in Sacramento, California, and Ann Arbor, Michigan. See the UPS press release.
The new delivery vehicles are a step up in size for UPS, which has been using a DaimlerChrysler "F-Cell" vehicle on a daily express-delivery route in Ann Arbor, Michigan, since February. See the story from the June 23rd edition of the EERE Network News.

FDA Seeks Reconsideration of U.S. Cigarette Label Ruling
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration asked for a full-court review of a decision by a three-judge appeals panel that threw out rules forcing cigarette packaging and advertising to display images such as diseased lungs.
The agency in a filing today in the U.S Court of Appeals in Washington said the court's 2-1 ruling finding the regulations violated the free speech rights of tobacco companies under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was wrong and conflicts with a ruling by a federal appeals court in Cincinnati.
The majority on the three-judge panel said in August that the government failed to present any data showing the warnings would cut smoking rates.
"The First Amendment does not require statistical proof of the extent to which the decline in smoking rates resulted 'directly' from the new health warnings," the FDA said in today's filing.
The eight active judges on the Washington-based appeals court heard only one so-called en banc case last term, according to the court's docket.
R.J. Reynolds, a unit of Reynolds American Inc., Lorillard Tobacco Co., Commonwealth Brands Inc., Liggett Group LLC and Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Co. sued the FDA last year, claiming the mandates for cigarette packages, cartons and ads, passed as part of the Family Smoking Prevention and Control Act, violated the First Amendment because the government was using "threats and fear" to motivate people to stop using a lawful product.
'Browbeat Consumers'
The Washington court on Aug. 24 ruled that FDA regulations mandating visual-image warnings of smoking's health risks, along with the phone number 1-800-QUIT-NOW, are "unabashed attempts to evoke emotion" and "browbeat consumers" to stop buying the companies' products.
David Howard, a spokesman for Winston Salem, North Carolina-based Reynolds American, declined to comment on the filing.
The case is R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 11-5332, U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (Washington).

PLUS: SOCCER; Maldini to Coach Paraguay in Cup
Published: December 28, 2001
Cesare Maldini agreed to coach the Paraguayan national team through next year's World Cup in Japan and South Korea, where he may oppose his son Paolo, Italy's captain.
The 69-year-old Maldini, Italy's coach at the 1998 World Cup, agreed to a six-month contract and will have a fellow Italian, Beppe Dossena, as his top assistant, said a Paraguayan federation spokesman, Rogelio Catebeke.
Maldini and Dossena were assistant coaches to Enzo Bearzot at the 1982 World Cup in Spain, when Italy last won the tournament.
Maldini replaces Sergio Markarian, who was fired last month after Paraguay lost its last two games in qualifying for the May 31-June 30 World Cup.

The New Low-Cholesterol Diet
The New Low-Cholesterol Diet: Nuts
Many studies show that almonds have real health benefits too. Like other nuts, they are high in protein, fiber, healthy monounsaturated fats, minerals, and other nutrients. They are also high in vitamin E, an antioxidant.
One researcher, David Jenkins MD, has done many studies of the effects of almonds. In a study, he tested 27 men and women with high cholesterol over three months. People who ate about a handful of almonds a day lowered their bad LDL cholesterol by 4.4%. Those who ate two handfuls lowered it by 9.4%. The results were published in the journal Circulation.
Jenkins also studies the effects of almonds along with other cholesterol-lowering foods. In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2005, he and other researchers tested cholesterol-lowering drugs against cholesterol-lowering foods in a group of 34 adults with high cholesterol. Almonds, soy protein, legumes, oats, and fruits and vegetables were among the chosen foods. The results were striking. The diet lowered cholesterol levels about as well as cholesterol drugs.
Other Nuts
"Basically, nuts are good," Farrell tells WebMD. "They're high in vitamins, minerals, and good monounsaturated fat, which can lower cholesterol."
Along with almonds and walnuts, the FDA gave its qualified health claim to peanuts, hazelnuts, pecans, some pine nuts, and pistachios.
Many studies back up their benefits. For example, one small study compared a standard cholesterol-lowering diet with a diet that replaced one-fifth of the calories with pecans. When compared to the standard diet, the pecan diet lowered bad LDL cholesterol by 10.4% and decreased triglycerides by 11.1%. It also raised the levels of good HDL cholesterol by 5.6%. The results were published in The Journal of Nutrition.
Not all nuts offer equal benefits. The FDA cut Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, cashew nuts, and some varieties of pine nuts from the qualified health claim. This is because of their high fat content. But in moderation, even these nuts may have some of the same benefits.
For instance in one small study, 17 men with high cholesterol ate about 1.5 to 3.5 ounces of macadamia nuts each day. After four weeks, their total cholesterol dropped an average of 3% and their bad LDL cholesterol dropped 7%. The results were published in The Journal of Nutrition in 2003.
Cholesterol Glossary
- Dietary fiber - The parts of plants that your body can't digest. If eaten regularly, fiber such as oats, pectin, and psyllium reduces serum and LDL cholesterol.
- HDL Cholesterol - The "good" cholesterol, HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol helps your body remove "bad" cholesterol from your arteries.
- LDL Cholesterol - The "bad" cholesterol, LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol tends to be deposited in artery walls.
- Omega-3 fatty acids - A good-for-you polyunsaturated fat found in some fish and vegetables (salmon, flax seed, soybean, English walnuts, and canola oil).
- Plant sterols - Found in plant foods, isolated from soybean and tall pine tree oils, they lower LDL "bad" cholesterol levels.

I have meant to update you on my Strawberry Butter and Cherry Jam canning all week. It went very well! I LOVE the strawberry butter! In fact, there was a little leftover after canning and I ate it all. Yes, I was selfish and did not let anyone else have it! When strawberries are on sale, I am going to pick up some more to make another batch.
The Cherry Jam came out great as well. It looks really pretty in the jar and it will make a wonderful gift! Find the Cherry Jam recipe I used HERE. One helpful tip, if the jam foams as you cook it (most likely it will), add a 1/2 teaspoon of butter or margarine. I did this for the Strawberry Butter as well.
For the Strawberry Butter, I used about 5 cups of Strawberry Puree and 1 tablespoon of Lemon Juice. I cooked it down for about an hour and then added 1 cup of sugar. Since the strawberries cook down, you will get less to can than you would with strawberry jam. However, the butter is healthier as it has a lot less sugar!

IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, the current decline in motorcycle sales isn't going to end anytime soon. There are too many things working against any kind of recovery. The First National Bank of Home Equity has been unequivocally closed, thus cutting off the funds our customers were used to having. And then there are the consumers who've driven our business for the last 40 years — the boomers — who are getting to the age where they're beginning to bail out of the market. Gen X has chosen to do something else other than ride motorcycles, and Gen Y participation is still an unknown.
No matter which way it goes in the long term, in the short term we're going to see significant changes in the numbers, sizes, and brands carried by dealerships. When I started my motorcycling career back in the early '60s, the dealership wasn't just the place where you bought motorcycles; it was a hangout, a place where you learned the arcane knowledge required to be a motor- cyclist and where, after a year or so, you were finally welcomed into the brotherhood.
The local motorcycle store was typically a small building with a small showroom, a counter, a small shop area, and maybe some separate office space. There usually wasn't a "staff." More often than not it was a family affair with Bill (or Bob or Joe) who owned the store, his wife, and/or brother and sometimes his children taking care of anything that needed to be done. Bill was the head mechanic, salesman, parts guy and dispenser of motorcycle advice and philosophy. The rest of the family filled in where needed. You knew everybody who worked there, and chances were good that if you were a regular customer, they knew you as well.
Demands from the OEM were minimal. If the guy had a sign for one or more of his brands, he was ahead of the game in terms of brand visibility, and probably made his OE rep very happy. POP material was a sometimes thing. If it didn't end up on the wall in the workshop because it featured an attractive young woman, it was probably hung in a strategic position to block the afternoon sun.
Fundamentally it was the store that the OEMs have successfully been trying to get to change, or push out of business, since the mid-'80s. The stores didn't have specialists. They didn't carry a wide range of accessories (partly because there weren't any) and if there was something you needed, Bill or Bob could get it from his distributor within an acceptable time frame. The showroom wasn't segmented according to type of bike. It didn't have a "corporate look," and if there were only two brands represented, chances were one of them would be out of business within six months and replaced by some other obscure specialized motorcycle. What it did have was atmosphere. It had a nice feel and was a great place to spend an hour or two on a rainy Saturday when you weren't going riding.
Now I'll grant you that all of yesterday's motorcycle stores weren't like that. There were a lot of dirty, dingy, dark caverns, with an owner who must have slept nightly on a bed of nails and viewed his customers and their demands as forces of evil that must be defeated and repelled. But by and large, for whatever reason, most of us remember the local motorcycle store that we dealt with back then with fondness and affection. I wonder how many of our current customers will look back on their motorcycle past and view our stores with fondness and affection?
The other night I was reminiscing about the old days with my pal Dain Gingerelli, editor of Iron Works magazine. We got to talking about the shops we used to deal with way back when. We talked about how lucky we were to have had that experience, which led me to wondering if some aspect of those days may come back.
As our industry shrinks, many of the current large stores will fade, as there are no longer enough customers to support them. Medium-sized dealerships will no longer have the funds to invest in corporate makeovers, and I think most single-line stores will fade as dealers require a broader range of brands to attract customers to their stores.
Will the motorcycle store of the past have a place in the future? I like to think so. In some cases we're seeing it with the Euro brands. Dealers are consolidating Triumph, BMW and Ducati brands under a single roof. While the OEMs may not like this, it makes a lot of sense because the collective annual sales of these brands don't equal those of the smallest Japanese brand. The smaller dealerships can offer a slice of that old-store feel and attention that's difficult for a larger, more diverse store to offer.
None of us knows how the future will shape our business. I don't think business would be hurt by smaller stores that offer a less intimidating and more personal environment than some of the stores we've seen develop over the past 25 years. In fact, it might even help.

text: I blogged a bit about this. We went and saw the Golden Compass yesterday. Excellent movie. (The book was better - but then when is it not?) Anyway, there were three knitters sitting together half paying attention to the movie half paying attention to the knit items we saw all through the movie. We were mostly taken with Lyra's hat that she wears to leave with Mrs. Coulter. There's a pic in my blog. I'll save bandwidth here and just direct you there :) If anyone has a pattern like this LMK! The girls are begging for it. Most of the knit items were fairly "rustic" in that they looked like they were made in a hurry using bulky yarn. But they were still quite charming. Lots of fair isle and some cabling. I've got a feeling we are going to be having some Golden Compass KAL's soon!

Young home schooling mom shares some money-saving news! Try this home school reading program FREE for the month of January!
I just started using Funnix Reading Program with my 4 year old. I have always wanted to start a casual homeschooling lessons for him that were easy for me because I was having a hard time keeping with a program. This program has been fun for him so far. It keeps his attention and he is learning to participate with it. Since we have never done any formal learning programs, it has been neat to see him quickly picking up the early reader questions in the curriculum.
We have only used this home school reading program a few days, but it is an excellent beginner reader program. As a parent, you must sit with the child to go through the program. If there is an area you want or need to repeat, you can repeat that short clip in the lesson. There are several sections in each lesson, and there are about 120 lessons in the Funnix Beginner Reader. They go through sounds, listening skills, story time and even a worksheet you print off at the end of the lesson and go through. My son quickly followed the directions and enjoyed them, even though he had never done any of it before.
This program is very affordable right now. This month they are offering the program free on their website, www.funnix.com. You download it to your computer. Then you also can print off the worksheet lessons as needed. This is nice, so that you can go back and reprint if you want to do the lesson again. My son enjoys repeating the lessons, and I like that he learns a little more each time.
The one con that I have found is that sometimes they can speak a little quicker than my son works. For some, it may not be a problem. And we just repeat when necessary, but it would be nice, especially in the beginning lessons to slow down when that happens.
Thanks for a home school reading program review, Erin! I have never heard of Funnix Reading Program and enjoyed learning more about it as well as the opportunity to try this program for free! Blessings, Heather :)

Oh Yeah, Ryan Sweeting's REAL Gross
2/24/2014 4:00 PM PST, by Sarah Taylor
Yup, see those pictures? See them? They're before and after poop shots of Kaley Cuoco's husband -- Ryan Sweeting's -- stomach. Essentially he just showed us that his stomach was all sweaty and distended from all the steak he'd eaten earlier in the night, and then 10 minutes later, when the second photo was taken ("10 minutes after a quick bathroom trip #everybodypoops") his tummy was all toned and taut and flat and poop-less. Amazing what a big, steaming dump can do for a man's physique. Or something.
You know, come to think of it, maybe that's why Ryan looks so damn miserable all the time. You'd have a stink face if you were full of ... well, you know exactly what road I'm traveling down, here, friends.
Gross, Ryan. Real gross.

As a mother to four children with special needs, Susann Getsch knows firsthand the challenges families face as they work to ensure that their children with disabilities receive the care they deserve. In fact, it was after more than 15 years of serving as her children's own personal advocate with medical and education professionals that she decided to return to school and become a voice for the voiceless.
"My decision to seek a graduate degree was the result of much soul-searching, as I knew the systems within which I was working were not functioning to the full benefit of my own and other children," Getsch says. "I came to believe from discussion with friends and family that I could provide a unique and distinctly helpful perspective to influence change."
Getsch's personal experiences included the misdiagnosis of her youngest son as mentally retarded. After six months of observing her son daily at school, she was able to provide sufficient evidence of a pervasive development disorder. One new school and new diagnosis later, her son has shown significant progress.
After successfully earning her MS in Psychology with Walden University in 2005, Getsch chose to pursue her doctoral degree at Walden as well. She credits Walden's solid reputation and quality faculty, as well as her desire to further advance research she began in her master's program, in her decision to continue her education.
Working under the direction of Walden faculty member Dr. Stephanie Cawthon, Getsch is assisting in an ongoing study to determine how educators assess students who are deaf or hard of hearing. She views student assessment as an understudied area of research that requires additional attention as a result of the No Child Left Behind Act. "It is my sincere hope that this research project will influence the field of education to truly consider more carefully individual student needs and challenges, leading to improved programming and assessments that better serve an underserved population," Getsch says.
In the meantime, Getsch continues to apply what she learns in her Walden program to her understanding of her own children's needs. Her oldest son, who has a traumatic brain injury, believes his mother will be instrumental in designing and implementing more effective brain injury rehabilitation methods in the future. One day, Getsch hopes to specialize in pediatric neuropsychology in upstate New York where she sees a severe shortage of practitioners in this area.
"I do believe I can change the world," Susann says with all her heart. "One step, one course, one child at a time."
You can turn your passion into a positive force for change. And you can start today at Walden University.

Guest Post
The redundancy threat has got employees trembling at their desks. In the UK, after three years of recession, job security feels like a distant dream. The 24/7, 'living to work' culture has become worse, meaning that we labour harder for less pay, and sacrifice our family life for career progression. This is neither sane, nor healthy, but someone's got to bring home the bacon.
If you've been made redundant, you're probably experiencing a smorgasbord of emotion, from anxiety to depression. On the one hand, you're concerned that you won't be able to pay the bills, and on the other, you're feeling like you've been thrown on the rubbish heap. Right now, there's one resounding question in your mind: why me?

No. As far as the BIOS is concerned, it goes through the bootable
candidates (physical devices only) and for each of them:
- Enterely loads sector 0 to 0x7C00;
- Checks if last two bytes of read sector are 0x55
and 0xAA (in this order):
- If not, skips to next candidate;
- If yes, jumps to start of read sector.
El Torito CD-ROM booting differs completely from this process.
> So bootblock.s gets executed at this time.
I don't think so.
Or better: if booting from an hard disk, BIOS loads and executes
masterboot.s, which chainloads the boot partition (i.e. determines the
active partition and mimics the aforemention 0x7C00 boot protocol, but this
time pretending the partition was a physical disk). This gets bootblock.s
loaded into 0x7C00 and executed from there.
Then, bootblock.s reads the more complex boot loader (which I believe is
the "boot monitor") by loading it's sectors from some hardcoded sector
The boot monitor then does the rest.

> jumpboot.s?
Don't know. Have to check.
These kind of source files are usually a bit hard to read, and requires
having an RBIL (Ralph Brown's Interrupt List) window somewhere nearby.
Aditionally, they are generally of little importance the the rest of the
system as the environment in which they run is mostly temporary and is
rapidly replaced by the kernel's more complex environment.
> If bootblock.s gets executed, why bother with other files
> like jumpboot.s?
Like I mentioned, some devices don't follow this old BIOS boot protocol.
It's possible that some of the files are used to support recent media like
CD-ROMs and so.
Furthermore, if you want to load the boot monitor from the Minix FS, you
need a boot code (the one which lays in the active partition) that is able
to read MFS. If you want to load the boot monitor from a FAT filesystem,
you need a boot code that is able to read from FAT, and so on.

Operating systems that *load from* DOS don't generally *run under* DOS. I
mean, being loaded from DOS doesn't imply using DOS system calls during
normal operation. As I wrote before:

Minix running under DOS is a nonevent [1]. What really happens is that the
monitor is aware that it must take care to not damage the memory areas that
are being used by DOS and the kernel someshat can be made aware of this
too. And if fact I think the monitor can return to DOS. I've not
investigated far enough, though.
However, the kernel won't use the DOS environment while running. It's only
able to put the system back in a state for the monitor to take control,
which in turn is able to put the system back in a state from which it's
possible to return to the DOS kernel.
And nothing prevents you from running an operating system under another
operating system. This won't be however an OS in the "classical" sense,
though, because it won't be managing the hardware resouces, but rather the
resources exposed by the system (which are un turn unlikely to need even
more "management"). For example, I've read that Unununium[2] is able to run
from inside Linux.
> I understood boot.c is the boot manager,
Is it? I didn't know.
Is I have said, I've not investigated the low level aspects of Minix
booting. My own experience tells me that studying that is the first step to
get bored with any OS. :-)
I find the boot monitor an interesting idea, and I think I'll implement
something alike in an OS I'm working on.

My understanding is that one of the tasks that installboot accomplishes is
installing bootblock.s in the specified MFS partition and then patch the
24-bit addresses to point the the disk sectors where the boot monitor lays.

The exact startup sequence is most likely dependant from the device you are
booting from.
However, the common point is that the boot monitor eventually gets executed
from some compile-time known memory address. Then it boots the kernel and
loads the startup apps alongside.

Cheney Denies 'Talking Down' Economy for Political Gain : Talk of Recession Strains Transition
By Brian Knowlton
Published: December 22, 2000
WASHINGTON— Vice President-elect Dick Cheney sought Thursday to dampen controversy over whether he and President-elect George W. Bush were emphasizing the threat of an economic recession as a means of preemptively laying blame on President Bill Clinton's administration should one arrive.
White House officials have expressed mounting displeasure with repeated warnings from Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney about a possible recession.
Mr. Cheney, after a meeting Thursday with Senator Joseph Lieberman, who was Al Gore's running mate on theDemocratic ticket, denied that he and Mr. Bush were being overly pessimistic about the economy for the sake of political gain, especially to increase support for their 10-year, $1.3 trillion tax cut.
"We don't want to talk down the economy, clearly," Mr. Cheney said, "and I think both President-elect Bush and myself have tried to be cautious."
"But there does seem to be a lot of evidence out there that, in fact, the economy has slowed down some," he added. "Whether or not this ultimately results in a recession — that is, negative real growth — nobody knows."
Meanwhile, in the Texas capital, Austin, a misty-eyed Mr. Bush announced his formal resignation as governor in a midday ceremony in the state Senate chamber. Lieutenant Governor Rick Perry, also a Republican, was sworn in to succeed him.
Mr. Bush also held two meetings Thursday to draw attention to his plans for changing U.S. schools. And he continued working on high-level personnel choices, amid mounting pressure from the Republican right for conservative cabinet appointments.
At the resignation ceremony, Mr. Bush looked more relaxed than he has in recent days. In a setting where he clearly felt at home, Mr. Bush said, "There's only one thing that would cause me to leave early — and that's to become the president." When a round of applause had subsided, he continued, "So today I announce my resignation as the 46th governor of Texas."
Mr. Bush was first elected Texas governor in 1994, then was easily re-elected in 1998. It is the only elective office he has held.
In a meeting in Washington on Tuesday with Mr. Bush, Mr. Clinton said he thought a recession — which economists define as two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth — was unlikely. Mr. Bush declined to comment.
The director of the National Economic Council, Gene Sperling, said Thursday that Mr. Bush was injecting "fear and anxiety" into financial markets to engender political support for his proposed tax-cut program.
"This is a time period where a new president should, I think, be being a bit reassuring," Mr. Sperling said on ABC-TV. "Instead, what you're seeing is President-elect Bush and his team actually talking down our economy, actually probably injecting more fear and anxiety into the economy than is justified, and I think that's a serious mistake."
Mr. Sperling said most economists were predicting a growth rate in the coming year of about 3 percent, below the heady rates of recent years but still, he said, "pretty solid."
Some economists have warned that the apparent bid by the new administration to ensure that it not be blamed for an economic slowdown could become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Mr. Cheney warned this month that the country might be on the "front edge of a recession." On Thursday, he softened his language while insisting that he and Mr. Bush were merely describing economic realities.
He said the views of the incoming administration were "very similar" to those of the Federal Reserve Board chairman, Alan Greenspan, with whom Mr. Bush met on Monday. "We are prepared to do whatever is required to maintain our long-term growth and prosperity as a nation," Mr. Cheney said.
President-elect Bush designated four cabinet picks Wednesday, headed by Paul O'Neill, chairman of Alcoa Inc., as Treasury secretary. With less than a month before his inauguration on Jan. 20, Mr. Bush is working hard to complete his cabinet.
But a strong hint of division in the Republican Party, one of the first since the election was decided, emerged Wednesday as Governor Marc Racicot of Montana, a moderate who had been touted as a choice for attorney general, said he was withdrawing his name from contention for "family reasons."
While there was no official indication to the contrary, several conservative Republicans had expressed mounting frustration as Mr. Bush turned for his early cabinet choices to people known as mainstream Republicans.
No announcements were made Thursday, but two prominent Republican governors appeared on the verge of being chosen for top posts. Governor Christie Whitman of New Jersey, who is considered liberal on social issues, is said to have agreed to serve as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Governor Tommy Thompson, known for cutting taxes and the size of the state bureaucracy in Wisconsin, said that Mr. Bush had offered him the post of secretary of Health and Human Services, but that he wanted to oversee the Transportation Department. He said no decision was likely until after Christmas.
Some conservative Republicans had threatened open protest if Mr. Bush did not turn to their ranks to fill sensitive posts such as the attorney general.
Mr. Racicot, a former Montana attorney general who gained the public eye by forcefully defending the Bush cause during the Florida election dispute, had spent hours with Mr. Bush and his staff this week in Austin, fanning speculation about his possible nomination.
It was thus something of a surprise when an aide announced from Helena, Montana, "The governor has asked that his name be removed from consideration for the Bush cabinet, based on family issues here." Mr. Racicot, 52, and his wife, Theresa, have five grown children.
After Mr. Racicot's withdrawal, the favorite for the post of attorney general — strongly supported by conservatives — was Governor Frank Keating of Oklahoma. Conservatives also support Senator John Ashcroft of Missouri and former Senator John Danforth of Missouri.
Mr. Bush plans to pick Governor James Gilmore of Virginia as chairman of the Republican National Committee, The Washington Post reported Thursday, citing party sources. Mr. Gilmore, who is considered a moderate conservative, was recently elected chairman of the Republican Governors' Association.
Another cabinet prospect with conservative backing is former Senator Dan Coats of Indiana, as defense secretary.

Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, left, is escorted to a security vehicle outside of a courthouse in Fort Meade, Md., Monday, July 29, 2013, after the third day of deliberations in his court martial. Manning faces charges including aiding the enemy, espionage, computer fraud and theft for admittedly sending hundreds of thousands of classified documents and some battlefield video to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks while working as an intelligence analyst in Iraq. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)
FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) -- U.S. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning has been acquitted of aiding the enemy for giving classified secrets to WikiLeaks.
The military judge hearing the case, Army Col. Denise Lind, announced the verdict Tuesday. The charge was the most serious of 21 counts. It carried a possible life sentence without parole.
Manning was convicted of five espionage counts, five theft charges, a computer fraud charge and other military infractions.
Manning's sentencing hearing is set to begin Wednesday.
The 25-year-old Crescent, Okla., native acknowledged giving the anti-secrecy website hundreds of thousands of battlefield reports, diplomatic cables and videos in early 2010.
Manning said he didn't believe the information would harm troops in Afghanistan and Iraq or threaten national security.

Tommy Bowe and Richardt Strauss both suffer ligament injuries, Brian O'Driscoll returns to training
Updated: Tuesday, 18 Dec 2012 14:45 | Comments
- Michael Corcoran reflects on a bad weekend for the Irish in terms of results and injuries
- Ulster captain Chris Henry says Northampton deserved their win
- RTÉ rugby analysts Tony Ward and Hugo MacNeill say Tommy Bowe's knee injury in a big blow to Ireland's hopes, and review Connacht, Leinster and Ulster's defeats
Tommy Bowe is a major doubt for the Six Nations after suffering ligament damage playing for their Ulster in the Heineken Cup at the weekend.
Leinster hooker Richard Strauss suffered a medial ligament injury as Leinster lost at home to Clermont Auvergne and is expected to be out for four weeks.
Bowe suffered a significant knee injury playing for Ulster in their defeat to Northampton.
Meanwhile, Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll trained with Leinster today after recovering from ankle surgery.
Winger Bowe is now considered a doubt for the 2013 Six Nations championships, and possibly the British and Irish Lions tour to Australia, after suffering a significant knee injury playing for Ulster.
The 28-year-old, who can also play in the centre, suffered the injury at the end of the Irish province's 10-9 loss at home to the Saints, their first defeat of the season.
"He has sustained significant lateral ligament damage to his right knee," a statement on the Ulster website said.
"He will undergo surgery later this week to repair the damage. At this stage it is not possible to put a timescale on how long his recovery period will be."
Ireland begin their Six Nations campaign in Cardiff against Wales on 2 February, with the first Lions tour match against the Barbarians in Hong Kong on 1 June.
Bowe was an impressive performer on the last Lions tour in South Africa in 2009, starting all three tests, and has scored 26 tries for Ireland in 51 matches.

Saturday, 12.13.2008 / 11:14 PM MT / The Desert Dog Blog - by Dave Vest
Information, observations and anecdotes about the Coyotes
as told by Dave Vest, the team's V.P. of News Content
as told by Dave Vest, the team's V.P. of News Content
As expected, the Detroit Red Wings provided a tough challenge for the Coyotes Saturday night at Jobing.com Arena.
Phoenix responded.
Yes, Detroit won 5-4 in a shootout, but the Coyotes showed heart and character in losing to arguably the best team in the league right now. I must admit, when Henrik Zetterberg ripped a shot past Ilya Bryzgalov 33 seconds into the game I had flashbacks to the 7-1 loss in Chicago last weekend and couldn't help but wonder if we'd be heading down that road again.
It didn't happen. Not even close. And that bodes well for this young team, which came within 19.9 seconds and two late near-misses on an empty net of beating the defending Stanley Cup champs.
Joakim Lindstrom is impressing the coaches with two goals and an assist in three games.
His play is one of the reasons the team sent Kevin Porter to its American Hockey League affiliate in San Antonio. Another reason was because San Antonio plays Saturday and Sunday this weekend, and the Coyotes didn't want Porter to just sit in the press box in Phoenix instead of getting some playing time with San Antonio.
"We'll reassess it Sunday night or Monday morning," Head Coach Wayne Gretzky said. "…We have a unique situation here in that we have a lot of young guys, and we as an organization have made it clear that we don't want young guys to sit in the stands. He (Porter) didn't come out of the lineup because he was playing poorly or worse than anyone else. It becomes a numbers issue and we kept a different younger guy in the lineup instead."
Here's a funny story, just in case you haven't heard it.
With only one goalie available at the start of Friday's game against Ottawa, the Washington Capitals turned to Web site producer Brett Leonhardt to be its temporary backup. All within a few hours, Leonhardt, who played goalie in college, signed an amateur tryout contract, suited up and skated on the ice with the team during warm-ups and then returned to his job as Web site producer after prospect Simeon Varlamov arrived mid-game and took his place on the bench.
"I should pay the team for being able to do this," Leonhardt told reporters. "It was like every dream come true."
I had several co-workers tell me on Saturday to sharpen my skates just in case I'm needed here in a pinch. Ain't happening. Remember, we've got Panger.
Thanks for reading.

Theophrastus - lost works
Update on 5.5.2010: For any enquiries about the Theophrastus Project, please visit http://www.sfu.ca/personal/dmirhady/dcm.html or contact David Mirhady.
These pages are maintained by the Department of Greek and Latin, UCL, as part of R. W. Sharples' and the Department's contribution to Project Theophrastus, an international collaborative undertaking initiated by Professor William W. Fortenbaugh of the Department of Classics at Rutgers University, New Jersey, in 1979.
The first priority of Project Theophrastus was the publication of the "fragments" of works by Theophrastus not preserved in MSS and known only from ancient or medieval citations. "Fragments" is here a shorthand expression, since the collection includes testimonia as well as verbatim quotations. In addition, the last collection of Theophrastean "fragments", by Wimmer in 1866, included as fragments some short texts which are preserved in MSS and which we are therefore treating as opuscula. The text and translation of the "fragments" has been published by E.J. Brill, Leiden, The Netherlands:
- Theophrastus of Eresus, Sources for his Life, Writings, Thought and Influence, text and translation, ed. W. Fortenbaugh, P. Huby, R. Sharples and D. Gutas, 1992, 2 vols
and a series of commentary volumes is appearing with the same publisher.
The extracts from ancient and medieval sources included in the text and translation volumes are, precisely, sources for the study of Theophrastus and his fortuna. The inclusion of a report is not a statement of confidence in its reliability, and the texts as printed include not only what we may suppose to derive from Theophrastus himself, but also context material relevant for its interpretation. Both the accuracy and the extent of the reports of Theophrastus embedded in our extracts are subjects for discussion in the commentary volumes.

Bob Seagren received good and bad news the day he and his company, now known as Run Racing, were awarded the contract by the city to operate the Long Beach Marathon.
The good news was that he got the contract.
The bad news was that he got the contract.
It was good because the two-time Olympic medalist in the pole vault (gold 1968, silver in 1972) was launching his company with the Long Beach deal, and he was optimistic that he could turn an event around that had been in a financial abyss for several years.
"I knew little about running, but I was very optimistic when I looked at Long Beach's previous history and a growing trend in marathons," he said in advance of Sunday's International City Bank Long Beach Marathon, the 28th edition of the race and the 12th for his company. "I thought I'd be able to spend one or two days a week on the marathon and keep all of my other business deals."
It was bad news because he didn't realize exactly how many problems he suddenly inherited.
"I sort of got involved before understanding some of the real issues that needed to be solved," he said with a wry smile.
For example, the city didn't want him running the race downtown.
Previous races had caused traffic snarls, and one year the barricades weren't put up in time. Long Beach State didn't want anything to do with the race, either, after it was left with a bill and a series of communication problems with the previous operator.
The Belmont Shore Business Association said they'd sooner allow a circus to walk its elephants down Second Street during peak business hours than a few thousand runners, who in 2000 left the street strewn with litter, kept businesses closed until the afternoon, and ducked down side streets to take bathroom breaks.
There were vendors and participants who still hadn't been paid for the 2000 race, too, and they were pestering the new operator.
Asked if he could have ever envisioned the success of the race after that first year, Seagren said "absolutely not." Seagren anticipated a field of 8,000 for the 2001 race, but after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, interest fell and only 4,500 participated.
"We were upside down financially, and I had to reach into my own pocket to stay afloat," Seagren said. "I started managing other events just because I needed the cash flow for Long Beach. Everyone who was involved wondered how long we could go on."
Thanks to Seagren's focus, the turn-around came fairly quickly.
The city did a 180-degree spin on letting the race downtown because Seagren's first effort ran smoothly.
"That changed everything in regards to our making it a real city event again," he said.
He found a kindred spirit in CEO Jane Netherton and International City Bank, who has been the title sponsor of the race since 2002.
"We had financial limitations and I don't know how long we might have lasted without her involvement," he said.
He expanded his company's menu and now promotes six other events a year. The race now is considered one of the "mega events" in long-distance circles with more than 20,000 entrants.
He's steadily persuading sponsors that Long Beach gives them the Los Angeles demographic market they desire, and landing Volkswagen as a national sponsor in 2012 is a big step in breaking down that barrier.
The biggest accomplishments in the last few years have been changes to the course that made it more runner-friendly and Seagren's decision to get out of the elite runner market.
The course runs its first six miles around the Shoreline Drive area before a 3<MD+,%30,%55,%70>1/<MD-,%0,%55,%70>2-mile stretch down the beach bike path. The part of the course once called the "Studebaker Dead Zone" was eliminated by getting Long Beach State campus involved, and that four-mile jaunt is now a race highlight thanks to student involvement in providing support and entertainment on the campus.
Once the city completes the proposed widening of the bike path, which could be in time for the 2013 race, Seagren believes the number of entries in the full marathon will increase dramatically. He's also been meeting with BSBA officials about returning the course to Second Street.
While New York, Chicago and Boston chase elite runners for name appeal and the chance of world record performances, Seagren decided it didn't fit a race that embraces a community spirit.
"There's a lot more value having 50 or more area companies and clubs taking part in the race," Seagren said.
"We used to chase the elite runners, and it costs a lot to do so. You have to pay their travel expenses, and some charge appearance fees, and they all have agents. I always wondered if it was worth it.
"How many people know there's a Kenyan in the race that has run a 2:05 marathon? Did they even care?"
Seagren tells this story: One year, an elite runner was so far ahead of the field that he came to a water stop on Ocean Boulevard, looked around, and came to a complete stop.
"He realized he would win and had reached all of his financial incentives and he didn't need to worry about the race any more," Seagren said.
"We paid $70,000 just to get that person here, so watching him come to a stop on the course, at least to me, negated the whole idea that elite runners are important.
"It's important to be what you are. The race was successful for years because it was a community event, and it's thriving now because it's a community event."
Thriving isn't a word he would have used 12 years ago, but it definitely fits in 2012.
