Kansas City Star Reporters Eric Adler and Laura Bauer Discuss a New Book Chronicling the May 22, 2011, Tornado that Devastated Joplin
At 5:41 p.m. on May 22, 2011, a massive EF-5 tornado reached Joplin, Missouri, devastating the community and ultimately killing 159 people and injuring countless others.
Reporters Eric Adler and Laura Bauer of The Kansas City Star discuss Joplin 5:41 When A Monster Storm Shattered a Missouri Town but Didn't Break its Spirit, a new book chronicling the newspaper's coverage of the devastating tornado, on Sunday, October 9, 2011, at 2 p.m. at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St.
Adler and Bauer were The Star's lead reporters on the story immediately after the storm and throughout the initial stages of the rebuilding process.
The book features extraordinary images, compelling graphics and the award-winning work of The Star's reporting staff and seeks not just to chronicle the destruction but to celebrate the heroic efforts of Joplin residents and the thousands of volunteers who rushed to the scene to begin the healing.
All royalties from sales of the book go to the Joplin Recovery Fund.
The event is co-sponsored by Kansas City Star Books.
Admission is free. A 6 p.m. reception precedes the event. RSVP online or call 816.701.3407. Free parking is available at the Library District Parking Garage at 10th & Baltimore.

Southern holds on to beat Colonels
Published: Wednesday, April 1, 2009 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 1, 2009 at 9:46 a.m.
BATON ROUGE Nicholls Stae first three batters combined for nine of the teams 16 hits and six RBIs, but the effort was not enough as the Colonels lost to Southern, 14-11, Tuesday night.
Chris Murrill, Josh Swenson and Scott Moseley, who drove in a team-high three RBIs, recorded three hits apiece.
Jake Parrish fell to 0-3 on the season after giving up four runs through the first inning of action.
After scoring four runs in the first, the Jaguars (15-7 overall) added another in the second and six more in the fourth to jump out to an 11-0 lead.
Nicholls (11-14) finally got on the board with two in the fifth and scored nine in the final three innings, but Southern held on thanks to three insurance runs in the fifth.
The Colonels biggest inning of the night came in the eighth, when Nicholls took advantage of five walks and a hit-by-pitch from Jaguar pitchers.
Drew Erwin, who threw the final two innings of the game for Nicholls, held Southern hitless, allowing just two base runners.
The Colonels have lost five straight games and seven of their last eight.
Nicholls returns to action at 6 p.m. today when it hosts the New Orleans Privateers at Ray E. Didier Field.

The following pages define the word Linear progression:
About Words and Definitions
There are (at least!) two practical problems, in organizing a lexicon of mathematical words. One is the problem of disambiguation, and the other is a problem of perspective.
An example of disambiguation is given by the mathematical noun "domain". When talking about functions, one refers to the "domain of a function". When talking about commutative rings, one refers to a "domain", i.e., an "integral domain". These are completely different meanings for the same word. In such cases, there are two pages in the Lexicon -- one for each meaning.
The problem of perspective is that one word, like "continuous" has various but mathematically compatible meanings, in different contexts. For a student of topology, continuity often refers to the fact that the preimage of an open set is open. For a student of calculus, continuity often refers to an "epsilon-delta" definition. These definitions are certainly compatible, but different definitions should be given for different audiences. In such situations, only one word is listed in the Lexicon, but many pages may define the word.

Boys, girls sweep titles at home
Carrie Moore
Published: Thursday, September 26th, 2013
The cross country team had a big week, starting last Thursday with a meet in Custer. Not only was it a great day for a run, there was a large turnout for this year's races.
"We had a large number of teams participate that do not usually travel to Custer," said coach Karen Karim. "The competition was much harder."
Even though teams like Sturgis, Sheridan, Buffalo and Moorcroft brought varsity squads, both the Custer boys and girls team managed to walk away with both team titles. The boys finished with 43 points while the girls team had 29.
"The boys team had a tougher go of it with our perennial rival of Newcastle finishing close behind with 51 points to our 43," Karim said.
Logan Burns' first place finish made it easier to grab the title. Burns finished with a time of 16:30, more than 30 seconds ahead of the second place finisher.
"That was a personal best time for him," Karim said. "He keeps getting faster each week, as do the rest of the boys."
Teammates Brennan Witt, Shane Herman and Patrick Witt also finished in the top 20, proving to be more than any of the other teams could match as no other team was quite as deep as Custer. Brennan Witt took eighth with a time of 17:42 while Herman took 14th at 18:12 and Patrick Witt took 20th with 18:23 as his time.
Runners Israel Parsons and Matt Dvorak, both battling illnesses, finished 27th and 39th, respectively. Parsons' time was 18:47 and Dvork was 19:18.
"Almost 100 boys competed in this race alone, so these boys looked strong," Karim said. "The Custer course is challenging, with the runners facing sections of long hills, but the kids competed well."
The girls team won its division in a bit more dominating fashion. Tori Glazier, who finished third with a time of 16:31, led the team and shaved off over 30 seconds from her season's best time. Mattisen Kelley's ninth place finish (17:15), Jazmin Hitshew's 11th place finish (17:29), Julianne Thomsen's 15th place finish (18:00) and Emmalee Hollick's 20th place finish (18:25) gave five varsity runners medals and racked up the points for Custer.
Annie Antonio finished just behind Hollick in 21st place with a time of 18:31. Tayler Carlson was close behind in 24th place with a time of 18:44.
Running in their first varsity race of the season, Ashlee Eggers (19:40) and Hannah Pinkerton (22:13) finished in 48th and 60th place, respectively.
"The girls were a strong group, which should continue to help them develop into a very competitive team," Karim said.
On Saturday, the cross country team traveled to Huron, where both teams learned valuable experience.
"This meet is a nice opportunity for our kids to race on the course that hosts state two out of every three years, as well as race some kids from the rest of the state," Karim said. "Our runners performed well against mainly larger school competition. Hopefully that translates to confidence as we finish out the season."
The younger girls team learned not only experience, but gained some well-deserved confidence as they placed fifth as a team against all "AA" schools.
"They competed on last year's meet course against competition that we have not yet faced this year," Karim said.
Glazier paced the team with her 10th place finish, running a personal best time of 15:32. Hitshew also earned a medal with her 19th place finish at a time of 16:03. Kelley was six seconds behind Hitshew, earning 21st place, and Thomsen finished strong in 26th place with a time of 16:23.
Because it was an "AA" meet, five runners were counted in the scoring. Emmalee Hollick came through with a personal record time of 17:24, earning 47th place. Tayler Carlson was not far behind in 49th place, also running a personal record time of 17:29. Annie Antonio was the final varsity competitor, finishing 56th in 17:48.
"If these girls keep working and improving, they will surprise some teams by the state meet," Karim said.
The boys team lacked the numbers to score as a team with Brennan Witt taking his ACT test and Parsons remaining behind to play football. Even with the lack of team scorers, the boys had an impressive showing.
Burns, who ran with the front-runners, placed fourth with another personal record time of 16:19, a mere three seconds behind rival Caleb Diggs from Douglas.
"He gets closer to his competition with each race," Karim said.
Patrick Witt raced to a personal record time of 17:51, earning him 23rd place. Herman ran a solid race, finishing in 28th in 18:06 while Dvorak finished 42nd with a time of 18:33, almost a minute faster than he ran in Custer.
"This week, we will face our toughest competition of the season in Rapid City, where state will be held this year," Karim said. "It looks to be a big meet and we look forward to the opportunity to get on that course."
Custer will compete in the Rapid City Invitational on Friday, Sept. 27, at 3 p.m. They will also compete in the Sturgis Invitational on Thursday, Oct. 3., at 1 p.m.

Published 20 May 2013
A museum of the Stalin-era prison camp system in central Kazakhstan has given visitors a nighttime tour, where they were "treated" to prison meals and a performance of mock interrogations. The unusual visit on the night of May 18 was organized by the Museum of Political Oppression in Dolinka. The central town became infamous in the 1930s as the center of the Qaraghandy Corrective Labor Camps system (KarLAG). (15 PHOTOS)
Museum employees depict how prisoners were tortured to extract confessions.
The former main building of the KarLAG system in Dolinka has been renovated to house the Museum of Political Oppression.
A live brass band entertained visitors outside the museum. This was also done in the years of repression.
Visitors to the Hall of Deportation were offered qurt, the Kazakh national cheese, to symbolize that Kazakhs often shared their food with the deported, saving them from starvation.
The camp's Exhibition Hall houses the personal files of prisoners.
Vera Mihodenko, a resident of Dolinka, reads about the victims of the 1930s famine that killed hundreds of thousands.
An employee depicts a tortured prisoner.
In the Hall of Remembrance, a visitor reads about those who died in the KarLAG.
A visitor is photographed in the re-created office of a KarLAG officer, where new prisoners would be accepted and their personal files reviewed.
Entire families, including pregnant women, were transported in overcrowded cattle cars. Many died en route and the dead were transported along with those who survived.
Political prisoners were confined in the same cells as those convicted of criminal offenses.
A guide tells visitors how people of different nationalities were deported to Kazakhstan from various parts of the Soviet Union in the years of repression.
A scene showing how female prisoners fed their children. Mothers saw their children only at feeding time. The mothers worked the rest of the time.
A museum employee demonstrates how hungry and exhausted prisoners used to churn clay with their feet to make mud bricks.

Madhya Pradesh: Congress demands CM's resignation
According to an I-T department report the last BJP poll campaign was financed by mining baron Sudhir Sharma.
Bhopal: The BJP is facing the ire in Madhya Pradesh with the Congress cornering the state government over the I-T department documents which reveal that the last BJP poll campaign was financed by mining baron Sudhir Sharma. After the startling revelations in the I-T department report, the Congress party workers held a protest in Bhopal on Monday. The opposition in the state has stepped up the pressure on the state government demanding a resignation of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's resignation.
The controversy pertains to the last BJP election campaign in Madhya Pradesh which has come under a cloud with the I-T department appraisal report revealing that the poll campaign was financed by mining baron Sudhir Sharma. I-T documents with CNN-IBN reveal that Sudhir Sharma sponsored air travels of senior RSS leader Suresh Soni. According to the documents, the air travel expenses of the head of the present BJP poll cell Anil Madhav Dave's and former BJP spokesperson Brijesh Lunavat were also sponsored by Sudhir Sharma.
"It is clear now that for all the mining licences that Sudhir Sharma got, he amassed wealth and financed the BJP election campaign code named operation Vijay," leader of opposition in MP Vidhan Sabha, Ajay Singh, had earlier said.
While the appraisal report says that the documents were recovered during the raids and the disclosures were verified and cross checked, the BJP has termed it as a vendetta against Sudhir Sharma. "Sudhir Sharma has gone to court against the Income tax department and it is their revenge and they are implicating us as well," BJP Rajya Sabha MP Prabhat Jha had said.
Though the BJP is trying to put up a brave face, the top party leaders realise the amount of damage the income tax revelations have done to the party image. In an election year the I-T revelations have given yet another issue to the opposition Congress to corner the ruling party.

|Progress in scale-up of second-generation high-temperature superconductors at SuperPower Inc
|March 09, 2005
|SuperPower is focused on scaling up second-generation (2-G) high-temperature superconductor (HTS) technology to pilot-scale manufacturing. The emphasis of this program is to develop R&D solutions for scale-up issues in pilot-scale operations to lay the foundation for a framework for large-scale manufacturing. Throughput continues to be increased in all process steps including substrate polishing, buffer and HTS deposition. 2-G HTS conductors have been produced in lengths up to 100 m. Process optimization with valuable information provided by several unique process control and quality-control tools has yielded performances of 6000-7000 A m(77 K, 0 T) in 50-100 m lengths using two HTS fabrication processes: metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Major progress has been made towards the development of practical conductor configurations. Modifications to the HTS fabrication process has resulted in enhanced performance in magnetic fields. Industrial slitting and electroplating processes have been successfully adopted to fabricate tapes in width of 4 mm and with copper stabilizer for cable and coil applications. SuperPower's conductor configuration has yielded excellent mechanical properties and overcurrent carrying capability. Over 60 m of such practical conductors with critical current over 100 A/cm-width have been delivered to Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. for prototype cable construction.

AT HOME WITH/Lidia Bastianich; A Recipe Kept Warm For 55 Years
By ALEX WITCHEL
Published: November 15, 2001
FROM the commotion in the kitchen, you would have thought it was a wedding day. Pans of eggplant rollatini baked in the oven, turnovers stuffed with salami and mozzarella fried in the pan. Fresh clams were minced, broccoli rape was rinsed. The pears and grapes were already roasted in moscato, and the pignoli cookies were cooling on a sideboard. The chicken hadn't even been started.
This was no wedding. This was lunch.
Lidia Matticchio Bastianich, the celebrated chef who is a co-owner of five restaurants and the star of her second public television series, ''Lidia's Italian-American Kitchen,'' which has been on the air since January, still makes lunch for her family every Saturday and Sunday. The fact that this was Wednesday didn't stop her; the chance to cook from her latest book, ''Lidia's Italian-American Kitchen'' (Alfred A. Knopf), which includes the recipes for every dish in the new series, was too hard to resist. Really. While other women choose yoga or meditation to relax, Ms. Bastianich cooks. The prospect of throwing up her hands and ordering in is foreign to her.
''Maybe I felt that way once or twice,'' she said.
Once or twice what? A month? A year?
''No, once or twice that I can remember,'' she answered, smiling. ''Cooking is good therapy for me.''
It is also central to her sense of home -- the childhood home she lost in Istria, a region in northeastern Italy that was taken over by Yugoslavia after World War II and became Communist. In 1956 her family left for Trieste, where for two years they lived in a refugee camp awaiting visas to America. Ms. Bastianich was 10 at the time and had to leave without saying goodbye to the beloved grandparents who helped raise her. They ran a trattoria and grew most of the food they sold and ate, producing their own olive oil and wine, distilling their own grappa and curing their own meats. That world, no longer home, no longer even Italy, was lost to her forever.
Or so she thought. The family moved to Astoria, Queens, to be near a distant relative, and Ms. Bastianich's father found work as a mechanic for Chevrolet; her mother, who had been an elementary school teacher, did piece work for the Evan Picone clothing company. Her daughter cooked the family's dinner each night, a task that kept the memory of her grandmother close.
''I picked up the newness in America, and it was wonderful,'' Ms. Bastianich said, escaping the kitchen to sit in her sunroom. ''But I needed to go back so much. This nostalgia I had at 12 years old! I had unfinished business there. My grandmother was the epicenter for me.''
She entered Hunter College on a scholarship but left after two years to marry Felice Bastianich, a fellow Istrian. At 19, on her honeymoon, she returned to Istria for the long-awaited reunion with her grandmother. ''I had eight visits after that,'' Ms. Bastianich said happily. ''She was able to see my two children.''
The echoes of her truncated childhood still sound through this house. A Tudor built in 1902, it is located in the Douglaston Manor section of Queens and sits right on the bay, a vegetable and herb garden in the yard, a wood-burning bread and pizza oven and rotisserie in the back. The terrace was bare in the November sunlight; Ms. Bastianich had brought her lemon, bay leaf and rosemary trees indoors for the winter, along with huge pots of geraniums. The last of the summer's tomatoes were ripening on a sheet of newspaper on the terra-cotta-tiled dining room floor.
''The food of a country is my story,'' she said. ''It is a small story, but people relate so much to it. I want to share that, but also the idea of bringing people and family together. There is a softness to it, I think. People say to me: 'You remind me of my mother. You bring back memories.' ''
The sound of pots banging in the kitchen seemed to distract her momentarily; this idea of family, which for her encompasses the people she works with, is a noisy proposition. Ms. Bastianich's recipe tester, Chris Styler, had taken over preparation of the chicken cacciatore while her assistant, Shelly Burgess, answered the phone and tended to her 4- month-old son. Ms. Burgess is married to Fortunato Nicotra, the chef at Felidia, Ms. Bastianich's first Manhattan restaurant, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in October.
Ms. Bastianich's mother, Erminia, who is 80, played with the baby while her companion, Giovanni Bencina, read the paper; they live in the house in a separate apartment. Ms. Bastianich's son-in-law, Corrado Manuali, a lawyer, ran after his 2-year-old son, Lorenzo. His wife, Tanya, Ms. Bastianich's daughter, was in Italy, where she often leads tour groups for a company she owns with her mother. Joseph Bastianich, his mother's partner in Felidia, Becco and Esca in New York, Lidia's Kansas City and Lidia's Pittsburgh, was in Connecticut poised for his wife's delivery of their third child, who arrived later that night.
Mixing work and family is second nature by now; Ms. Bastianich's mother always lived with her and watched the children so that she and her husband could work in their restaurants at night. And Ms. Bastianich tapes her television series in her spacious kitchen.

Older runners meet here.
Morning all,
Great running again TE!
Matsmum, oh no, not your OH as well. Mine has a history of back problems so I hope yours recovers quickly.
Diana, excellent cross-training
Been ministering to the poorly hubby who's pain turned acute last night and we hardly slept a wink as a result. Painkillers didn't touch the pain at all but he finally drifted off to sleep through exhaustion. I can't believe he's got another trapped nerve - it's so difficult to find the source and treat and I'm afraid he's got more pain to come before we finally get rid of it. He's got another session with Mary on Tuesday but there's no point going to Physio yet as his shoulder is too gummed up (although Mary has loosened it somewhat) and his pain is too strong at the moment
I haven't been out for my run yet as I want to wait until he's awake.
Esther seems to have settled into her spell of incarceration and Tinker is fine again
Red - oh dear, oh dear, my thoughts are with you - and hubby - and Esther (what does a grazing muzzle do, BTW?)
Matsmum - you too, - what lesson do you think should be learned from it? "Don't walk backwards" or "put the stone bunny somewhere inaccessible and replace with a foam-rubber one"?
OO - hope that cold goes soon. Late spring seems to be a bad time for colds.
TE - yes thank you, Tuesday's X-C was much pleasanter than the previous week's, - much much pleasanter - sunshine, warm but not too warm, bluebells, wood anemones and lots of other spring wild flowers.
Yesterday evening I took two (home-made) cakes to the leisure centre to contribute to festivities following the 2nd of 3 5k races organised by the running club. I didn't race (still feeling the effects of 10 hilly miles on Sunday plus Tuesday's x-c). Might do the third one in a few weeks' time.
JJ - LOL at the "oldest teenager in the business". A friend of mine once described me as "the oldest hippie in town". Bit unfair, just because I was wearing something vaguely ethnic.
Columba, the grazing muzzle will reduce her intake of grass by about 70% because there is just one small hole that she can eat through. I'll stick a photo of it on my blog next time I update it - it looks like an instrument of torture and I'm not sure how she'll take to it!
She gets so upset when she has to be shut away that I thought it would be worth a try so that she'll be able to stay out with Kizzy. It never used to be a problem as I used to be able to restrict their grazing together to keep weight off them both but now Kizzy is really old I spend all my time trying to keep the weight on her.
Day 33 was 5.57 miles on the treddy, rather than in the torrential rain we've got here. I did 2 miles warm-up then 10 x .1 mile @ 8 min miling with .1 mile recs then 1.57 miles cooldown. My breathing recovered quickly inbetween the fast bits which was promising.
Get well vibes to both Matsmum's and Red's other halves.
TE, brilliantly even splits. Mine a more an illustration of what not to do (start too fast and get progressively slower). However, I did finish just over half way up the field again and managed to pick up the pace for the last .67 of a mile.
Columba, I may do some baking this afternoon, as smaller grandson is over and loves to help with it.
matsmumMrsJJ does not climb trees. She has to reassure passers by that I'm not dangerous.Falling on a stone rabbit with pointy ears doesn't bear thinking about.RedheadHope you both can recover as quickly as the problems arrived. TEYour time was worth about 48:30 for 10k. Very good considering the terrain.JJ
Went swimming.
Red, it seems extraordinary that horses can get overweight just living on grass. But I do understand about being able to digest cellulose, which we can't.
Good that your breathing recovered quickly between fast bursts.
Are the suffering OHs still suffering?
JJ, thanks for that. That would have been a very good time for a full 10k on that course.
Red, I've just received my entry pack for the SDM and thought you would be interested in the revised programme. When you ran it there were several waves, with the fastest starting in the last one. They have now decided, to avoid the bunching where the faster runners catch up with the first waves, to just have two waves, the relay first, and the main marathon runners in the second. There is no mention of I pods being forbidden, and I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to wear one. I have never worn one in a race before, but am envisaging running for miles, totally lost, and just some music to keep me company. They have also included maps to study, and advised that if in doubt at cross roads to keep heading west. Do we need to carry a compass?
Last nights club social run went well. We all drove out to the Shatterford Car Park and did a 5.45 mile run in the forest. A few of us ran the hills hard, which is good training for me. We then retired to the near by pub for a refreshing pint of shandy.
A rest day today, and the Brockenhurst 5k Park Run tomorrow.
Columba, being overweight is more dangerous for horses than being underweight as it puts too much pressure on their hooves. This can lead to a rotation of the pedal bone and/or problems with the coffin bone within the hoof causing lameness. In serious cases the horses have to be put down so it something to keep a careful eye on. For a horse such as Esther who is what we call 'a good doer' and is of a stocky build naturally you have to be really strict in limiting their grazing. Plus, like me, she has the added problem of arthritis in one of her forelegs. Bless her.
TE, the first time I ran it everyone started together then last time it was in waves and there was congestion on some of the tracks through fields. I don't think the relays runners should start first though.
My preferred way of solving the problem of congestion is what they do at the Steyning Stinger; they let walkers and slower runners start any time after 8am with the mass start at 9 or 9:15 (can't remember which). That way us slower runners get to see the speedy peeps running past which gives us a boost but there isn't a great mass of slower runners for the speedy runners to pass.
I don't remember any ambiguity in the route unless they've changed it so I wouldn't worry about that too much.
I never use an ipod whilst out running as I love to hear the sound of the birds etc.
Day 34 was 5.75 undulating miles in wind, rain and sun! Total mileage now 225.05
Mike's shoulder still painful but less so than the other night, thank goodness. He's getting frustrated with being unable to do anything much.
Have a lovely weekend everyone - oh, and good luck to Diana and TE at your new parkrun.
Red, thanks for your advice and good luck wishes for tomorrows parkrun. I agree that it's nice to listen to the birds etc. and I hope to be able to run with others and chat from time to time. I pods are anti social and I only wear mine on long runs when I run alone. I will have to reconsider my tactics as I was hoping the faster waves would overtake and help me to speed up. I think I will just run at my own pace and see how it goes. Your running streak is going very well and you will probably exceed 800 miles.
I must say that I never run with an iPod or similar, though I know people who use long runs to catch up on recorded programmes and podcasts etc.
6.33 forest run today. Over towards you TE; we started at Pig Bush just south of Beaulieu Road station, and got just about as far as the edge of the Dibden Inclosure before looping back. That got me to 100 miles for the month so far - third month running of 100+
Weather has gone downhill since then, and I've needed a scarf and fleece! Forecast for tomorrow at Brockenhurst is better.
Glad to hear Mike is feeling somewhat better Red.
Really cold and windy today. "Trouble is, we can't even blame anyone!" as someone commented to me.
Red - you'd think, with new hips and new knees being available for people, new hooves might be available for horses. But probably they're much too complicated on the inside (pedal bones? coffin bones?)
I don't run with an ipad, either. Largely because I haven't got one.
I'm blaming global warming on this horrible cold windy weather.
Diana,well done on your 100+ miles. Dibden Inclosure is very close to home. It has been very muddy again there this year. I think it should be ideal conditions tomorrow for the parkrun.
10 hours rain today. I think it's coming in through the hole in the ozone layer.JJ
Thankfully the rain stopped some time during the night and we've got sunshine and it isn't quite as cold (although my legs felt cold when I went for my plod first thing). 6.25 squelchy miles across fields with very wet grass so my legs got soaked and I was very muddy when I got home. Total miles now 231.30.
Now off to play in the garden, re-organising the herb beds
Very cold first thing, but brightened up and warm and sunny for the Brockenhurst 5k Parkrun. This was my first 5k for nearly 12 years, and I had forgotten just how tough they were. Into top speed from the start, and trying to maintain it. Reasonably pleased with my 22.45 and a WAVA of 75.09. I was second male in the 65-70 category and just 9 seconds behind the first. Next time I'll beat him! Consistent mile splits again of 7.31, 7.28, 7.26, 0.19. The race was all on grass, and comprised 4 laps of the College Grounds.
Diana, that first holding of the race was a great success, and I hope it attracts more than the 113 runners for the next one. I'll certainly be back again, and try to recruit more of our club runners. I think some do the Southampton race, which has grown to 400 runners.
Red, well done running through squelchy fields. I'll be doing similar tomorrow, when 3 or 4 of us do a forest run.
It was nice to see you again TE - we do keep meeting recently! Well done on your 2nd in AG. I came first in mine! This was a first of being first, although it wasn't first among many. My daughter thorougly enjoyed it, and came in in 25:17, so is determined to get under 25 minutes next time. I was very pleased with how it went, and hope it goes from strength to strength. We had 31 runners doing their first ever parkrun, so hopefully more newbies will hear of it and give it a go.
We got very little rain, so having cleaned the water butt and fitted a new tap, we're still waiting for it to fill again.
You're doing so well with your challenge Red!
Diana, it was nice seeing you again too. Well done on coming first in your age category. You are now the course record holder, and hopefully can hold onto it in future races. Well done to your daughter; is she a fairly new runner? I will certainly do my best to advertise the race among our club runners. I note that we had the second highest numbers of club member entries, eight in total, the same as your club, so good for a first race.
TE - yes; you will undoubtedly beat him next time.
Sunny afternoon. Been gardening.
Columba, thanks for your faith in me. If I had known that the runner who beat me was in the same age category, I would have pushed myself even harder in an attempt to overtake him. He had run over 100 park runs, and this was my first, so I will put it down to inexperience over the distance and flat surface.
TE, I can't believe you let someone beat you! I shall expect you to trounce him next time
Diana, well done you. Did you get a prize?

Residence hall rooms, hall lounges, and all apartments have Comcast cable. Expanded basic cable is included in your room or apartment cost. Also included is access to On Demand and Pay-Per-View, although use of these features will be at your own expense when applicable. If you would like any premium channels added at your own expense, please call the local Comcast office directly at 1-800-Comcast.
Comcast provides Cable service to the campus. Due to recent changes in their service, students must hook their TV up to a Comcast cable box or digital converter box, and then to the wall jack in their room, in order to receive any television signal. Comcast cable boxes are provided free of charge to residential students for use in their housing during the school year. At the beginning of each semester, Comcast will visit campus to check out these boxes to students living in College housing. Residential students can also pick up a box free of charge from the local Comcast office, located at 4025 Nimbus Loop, McMinnville, OR 97128.
Any Comcast equipment that you check out will be registered under your name, and will be your responsibility. Comcast will assess any charges due to loss or damage of Comcast equipment to you. Instructions on how to hook up cable boxes will be provided to you by Comcast during check out. For more assistance, please call 1-800-Comcast, or refer to equipment manuals.
Comcast will be on campus to check out cable boxes to students at the beginning of each semester. While they are on campus you can check out a cable box free of charge as long as you live in College Housing. To do so, present them with your student ID and a print-out of your housing assignment for the upcoming semester, which can be located on Web Advisor.
You can also check out a cable box during the year by going to the local Comcast service center at 4025 Nimbus Loop, McMinnville, OR 97128. You will need to present them with your student ID and a print out of your housing assignment for the current semester from the Student Affairs Office.
Remember though, any Comcast equipment that you check out will be registered under your name and will be your responsibility. It must be checked back in at the end of the year in order to avoid replacement charges.
Comcast will be on campus to collect cable boxes at the end of each academic year. While they are on campus you can turn your cable box back into them. If you need to return your cable box prior to or after the Comcast campus visits, you can take it to the local Comcast service center at 4025 Nimbus Loop, McMinnville, OR 97128. Cable boxes cannot be turned in at the Residence Life Office, and will not be accepted. Remember that your cable box is registered under your name and you will be responsible for any replacement charge if the box is not turned in. A $50 fine will be assessed to students who leave their cable box in their apartment or residence hall.
All student residential halls, suburbs (apartments), academic classrooms and public areas have wireless network access available. If unsure of wireless accessibility on campus, look for the "CatNet Unplugged" wireless stickers appearing on public access entrances of buildings. Performance may vary in these areas depending on the style and individual characteristics of your wireless equipment.
In order to use your computers or other technology, students must first connect to the Linfield Network upon their arrival. For Windows (PC) users, this will require you to download, install, and pass a network authentication and validation program called Cisco Clean Access once you arrive on campus. For a look at what that entails and what you can do to make the process easier and faster once you arrive, go to http://www.linfield.edu/it/new-student-information.html. Students who bring Mac computers will only need to register on the Linfield network with their CATNet ID's. If you are interested in receiving assistance configuring your computer for wireless access, contact Information Technology Services (ITS) at firstname.lastname@example.com.
All residence halls and suburbs (apartments) have land line phone jacks. Because of the very low use of these jacks, starting this fall semester, these phone jacks will be inactive. Information Technology Services (ITS) will activate a phone jack in a residence hall or suburb by request. To do so, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with your name, residence hall or suburb and room number with a brief description of why you would like the phone jack activated.
Residents are responsible for the cleanliness of their own apartment and room throughout the year and can check out a vacuum from the RA. Failure to keep your room clean will attract ants and other pests. It is not the responsibility of custodians to pick up after students. Residents are expected to assist in keeping the common areas and bathrooms clean. Cleaning charges may be assessed to residents for excessive messes. Residents are expected to pick up after themselves in common areas and to return all lounge furniture to its original position.
Facilities Services provides personnel for the general upkeep of the public areas and community bathrooms in the residence halls. If something in your room needs to be repaired, notify your RA or submit a workorder via SchoolDude. Facilities Services and Residence Life may make periodic safety and maintenance inspections throughout the year. Students will be charged for repairs beyond normal use.
The College does not assume responsibility for damage caused by students. Damage in a student's room or apartment is the responsibility of the occupant(s). Damage in corridors, stairwells, apartment landscaping and entrances, bathrooms, lounges, etc. is the responsibility of the individual, floor, entire hall or apartment complex as circumstances dictate. If the person responsible for damage cannot be identified, the charges will be assessed to the lowest possible denominator of students who should be held responsible. Experience has proven that this is the best means of seeing that charges are directed to the most responsible individuals. For example, if damage occurs on a floor and the person responsible is not identified, the entire floor is charged the cost of repair. By the same token, if persons responsible for damage to public areas of residence halls cannot be identified, the cost of repairs will be divided among all residents living in the hall. Should damage occur, notify your RA as soon as possible to stop the problem from growing (water leak, damaged or dangerous electrical issue).
Normal wear and tear to College property is expected. However, damage or vandalism will be billed directly to the student(s) responsible for the damage. If a person who does not live in the room or apartment causes damage, that person will be billed. If the person responsible cannot be identified for any reason, the resident(s) of the room or apartment will be billed. Community restitution may also be assigned in addition to damage charges.
Listed below is a sample of some of the charges you should expect to pay for damage. This list is by no
means comprehensive, but should be used as a guideline.
Furniture will be charged out at replacement rate.
|Replace or Repair $25
|Light Covering
|Replace - $25
|Abandoned Property
|Remove - $25
|Fire Alarm
|Repair - $100
|Cinder Blocks
|Removal - $50
|Flipped/Improperly Bunked Beds
|Readjusted- $50
|Carpet Cleaning
|Cleaning Charges
|Broken Window
|Wall Damage (holes/patch)
|Misc. Repairs
|up to the actual total costs
Some of the apartments and houses contain asbestos. All asbestos is encapsulated and is not a danger to residents. Please do not puncture the ceilings or floor tiles with any items. If your ceiling or floor tiles become damaged, contact Facilities Services right away at 503-883-2227 and inform your RA.
HP Park has gas BBQ facilities provided on site. Please use caution when operating the BBQs and remember to shut them off after you use them. At the beginning of fall term, full propane tanks for the gas BBQs are provided. Once the tanks become empty, it is the responsibility of those wishing to use the gas BBQs to refill the propane tanks and pay all costs associated. Propane tanks can be filled at local gas stations with filling capabilities. Instructions for use are posted on the front of the BBQ grills. Please follow these steps in order to help with the maintenance of this equipment as well as out of respect for the community. In accordance with Yamhill County fire marshal, the use of BBQ grills is strictly prohibited on any deck, landing, walkway or stairs connected to a college owned apartment property or within 15 feet of any building.
Residents must provide shower curtains, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies. These items are not available from Facilities Services. If you have any problems with the drains, please call your RA or submit a workorder via SchoolDude. Keep in mind that the Suburbs have smaller water heaters than the residence halls, so residents may run out of hot water if too many people try to take showers within a short amount of time.
Facilities Services cleans all residence hall bathrooms on a regular basis. Since the space is communal, it is important to share the bathroom space and help to maintain the overall cleanliness. Please do not dump personal trash in the bathroom trashcans. Residences may be fined for removal of personal trash found in bathroom trashcans. Do not post signs in the bathrooms-all areas need to be able to be wiped down.
You are responsible for all the furniture assigned to your residence. Do not leave unwanted furniture in the hallway or balconies. All college furniture must be kept in your room or apartment. The College cannot store furniture for students. Do not flip any beds upside down, as this weakens and may break the bed. A flipped bed may result in a $50 fine. Do not stack your beds on other furniture or cinder blocks. There is a fine of $50 to remove cinder blocks. If any furniture breaks or is damaged during the course of the year, contact your RA or submit a workorder via SchoolDude. Upon checkout, residents will be charged for any missing furniture or any which needs repair beyond normal use. No furniture may be exchanged within the hall or apartment, leave the hall or apartment, or be exchanged with furniture from another hall or apartment. Lounge furniture may not be taken into your room. Lounge furniture found in your room will be removed and each resident may be fined up to $100. Beds cannot be lofted. If you want to bunk or unbunk your bed, please speak with your RA. The RA will submit a workorder for your request.
In the residence halls, you will have access to kitchen facilities, including a sink, stove/oven, and refrigerator. Check with your RA to learn the rules for use in your hall. Individuals using the kitchen must clean up after themselves. Please do not leave dishes in the sink or food on the counters. Such items will be discarded by cleaning services, and the hall will be charged. Residence Life Staff may lock up kitchens that are not maintained.
Some Suburbs are furnished with dishwashers. Remember to use only dishwasher detergent and remove heavy soil from dishes and utensils prior to washing. The college may not replace dishwashers that break and cannot be repaired. Clean your refrigerator regularly. Make sure items that may spoil are discarded before vacation periods. Do not put heavy items inside the refrigerator, as their weight will damage the interior. On stoves, please clean the surface elements and ovens periodically. Any build-up of grease can cause a fire. Residents are responsible for providing all cleaning supplies.
Washers and dryers are available in each residence hall and suburb community. Do not leave your laundry unattended for an extended period of time.
All washers and dryers are free to students in all residence halls and apartments. Please remove clothing from the laundry room immediately so that other residents may utilize the machines. Clothing left for more than 72 hours may be bagged up and donated to a local charity.
In an effort to conserve natural resources, the college strongly encourages students to wait and do full loads of laundry. Please carefully follow all instructions for use of the energy efficient machines.
Light bulbs are installed in all fixtures prior to occupancy. Residents should contact their RA to report burnt out bulbs or submit a work order. Facilities Services will replace bulbs at no charge to residences.
A soft drink machine is located in each residence hall. The revenue from these machines is returned to each hall, and this income is a source of funding for hall programs and activities. In the event of a machine malfunction, please post a sign indicating "out of order" and report the problem and machine number to your RA or submit a work order.
The fire safety sprinkler systems in each building are integral to the safety of each resident. Under no circumstances should anything be tied to, hung from, or in anyway obstruct a sprinkler head. If broken off, a sprinkler will expel 50 gallons of water a minute, resulting in considerable damage to surrounding areas. Also, balls, Frisbees, etc., should never be thrown inside of buildings, for risk of general damage, but also due to the fact that these items can break off a sprinkler head. Students causing such damage will be held responsible for damage to all College property and all personal property of residents, as well as cleaning and associated charges.
RESIDENCE HALLS ONLY: In most residence halls there is a storage room for use of residents. See your RA to access storage. All personal property in storage must be in a closed box or storage bin, labeled and dated. If you need to leave large things (including appliances) over the summer, be sure to box and label them and use the storage area in the residence hall you will be living the following fall. Because of limited space, residents may not store furniture in residence hall storage areas. There are many different storage options locally if students need to store such items over the summer. Although the storage rooms are locked, we cannot guarantee the safety of your possessions and you store at your own risk. The College is not responsible for any items lost or damaged. In addition, the College reserves the right to dispose of any items left in storage for over four months.
SUBURBS: There is no storage available for suburb residents.
In order to maintain quality residential facilities we ask that all students use poster putty or blue painter's tape available to hang all decorations. The use of staples, nails, non-painter's tape, screws or bolts in the walls, ceilings or doors will result in a damage fine charged to the residents' upon move out. Students are also prohibited from hanging string lights, rope lights, ceiling tapestries, or neon lights on their walls. All adhesives must be completely removed from all walls upon check out.
Each semester (or as needed in given situations) members of the Residence Life Staff will conduct announced inspections of the students' rooms and apartments. RAs will check for items that could be cause for concern -safety or policy- and will check for anything that needs a workorder. RAs will only enter with another Residence Life staff member (RA, RLA, AD, etc.) Prohibited items may be confiscated and incident reports written if necessary. The College reserves the right of reasonable entry to residential units to make necessary repairs, to maintain safety and health standards, and to assure compliance with the Residence Life Contract Agreement and any other College policies.
In life at Linfield, as in life elsewhere, insects and other pests can be part of your daily experience. Linfield has an active pest control program, using an Oregon licensed contractor, administered through Facilities Services. While the college will respond to any report of pest problems, we maintain 'low impact, responsive' program, rather than polluting your living and learning environment with wholesale insecticide treatments.
Residents in college housing can reduce their exposure to pests by good housekeeping and hygiene practices. Vacuuming floors, cleaning counters, taking out the trash and recyclables regularly, storing food items in closed containers and other similar, common sense methods will help to keep you from being visited by unwanted critters.
If a resident experiences bug bites and/or sights what they believe may be a bed bug, they are to immediately contact their Resident Advisor. The RA will then immediately contact the Area Director on duty. The Area Director will coordinate inspection and any needed treatment of the room/apartment. Facilities will immediately inspect the room/apartment while also scheduling outside pest services to inspect the room/apartment as soon as possible. Treatment of all affected rooms/apartment will include treatment of furniture as well as bedding. Students are responsible for laundering all of their clothing to eliminate any possible contamination.
Students should schedule an appointment with the Student Health, Wellness and Counseling Office in Walker 104 as soon as possible for treatment of any bites.
All students must properly dispose of their trash by taking it directly to the dumpsters located around campus. Residence hall students cannot leave trash in the hallway or empty personal trash into the hall or bathroom trashcans. Suburb residents must not leave trash in front of their apartment, in stairwells or on their balconies. Residents are expected to take all garbage to the dumpsters provided.
All residence halls have recycling containers. For residents living in the suburbs, there are several recycling sites located around campus. All members of the community are strongly encouraged to learn about the recycling program and sort out the recycle items from regular trash.
All charges for heat, light, water, and trash pick-up are included in the housing rates. Please conserve energy whenever possible to keep your housing rates from rising.
If your room or apartment needs repair please follow the instructions below to submit a work order. Facilities or Auxiliary Services will respond to the workorder as soon as possible, though it is not possible for day or time of day of response to be predicted. If you have specific concerns regarding your workorder, please discuss this with your RA at the time of workorder submission. By submitting a work order you are giving the college permission to enter your room to perform the repairs necessary to address the work order.
To submit work orders: Log on to www.myschoolbuilding.com using your Linfield email address.

Paul Simon That's Me Lyrics
Last updated: 06/02/2006 12:00:00 PM
Well I'll just skip the boring parts chapters one, two, three
And get to the place where you can read my face and my biography
Here I am, I'm eleven months old, dangling from my daddy's knee
There I go, it's my graduation
I'm picking up a bogus degree
That's me
Early me. That's me
Well I never cared much for the money
And money never cared for me
I was more like a land-locked sailor
Searching for the emerald sea
Just searching for the emerald sea, boys, searching for the sea
Oh my God
First love opens like a flower
A black bear running through the forest light holds me in her sight and her power
But tricky skies, your eyes are true
The future is beauty and sorrow
Still, I wish that we could run away and live the life we used to
If just for tonight and tomorrow
I am walking up the face of the mountain
Counting every step I climb
Remembering the names of the constellations
Forgotten is a long, long time
That's me
I'm in the valley of twilight
Now I'm on the continental shelf
That's me
I'm answering a question I am asking of myself
Thanks to Sheraz Iqbal for submitting That's Me Lyrics.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Theme of Respect and Reputation
We've mentioned, in our "Character Analysis" of Inspector Lestrade, that the policeman makes a good foil for Sherlock Holmes because he works inside the law while Holmes is a free agent. Holmes gets to choose whom he lets go and whom he carts off to the court system. But if law isn't necessarily one of Holmes's primary means for keeping criminals in line, threat to reputation is. The importance of reputation in Conan Doyle's representation of Anglo culture is pretty evident. Probably the best example of this is Neville St. Clair, who is willing to go to prison disguised as Hugh Boone under the charge of murdering Neville St. Clair rather than confess to everyone that he has been posing as a beggar all these years.
Other examples include James Ryder ("Blue Carbuncle"), who begs Holmes to release him to save his mother and father shame. Jabez Wilson goes to Holmes out of outraged pride at being tricked by the Red-Headed League, and Alexander Holder ("Beryl Coronet"), the King of Bohemia, and Lord St. Simon ("Noble Bachelor") all hire Holmes to preserve their reputations. In other words, reputation is a great plot motivator throughout these stories, both as a reason for clients to find Holmes and as a way for Holmes to keep wrongdoers in line without having to send them to the criminal justice system.
Questions About Respect and Reputation
- Protecting a man's reputation seems more important in some cases than in others. While Lord St. Simon ("The Noble Bachelor") and Alexander Holder ("The Beryl Coronet") are both victims of a deception, the stories seem more sympathetic to Holder than to St. Simon. Why? What differences are there between these two characters that makes the value placed on their reputations differ?
- What categories – social, family, professional, etc. – seem most important in determining a man's reputation in these stories? How do people like Lord St. Simon or even James Ryder ("The Blue Carbuncle") express concern over their reputations?
- We've talked a lot about crises in men's reputations, but how about the ladies? For example, what is Hatty Doran's ("The Noble Bachelor") reputation? How is her social status represented differently from Lord St. Simon's? What kinds of points might we be able to make about women and/or class and the importance of reputation?
Chew on This
Conan Doyle largely steers clear of discussion about women's reputations because he continues to promote the "Angel in the House" ideal of domestic womanhood, which requires women to be above reproach.
Instead of turning to the law courts, Holmes uses threats to criminals' public reputations to keep them from repeating their offenses.

Definition of approximant in English:
1 Mathematics A function, series, or other expression which is an approximation to the solution of a problem.
Example sentences
- In 1899 Padé published another major work on Padé approximants which, as we noted above, looked in depth at approximants of the exponential function.
- Applied mathematicians have found that by approximating functions by continued function expansions, called Padé approximants, they often obtain far more accurate low-order approximations than by using Taylor series expansions.
2 Phonetics A consonant produced by bringing one articulator (the tongue or lips) close to another without actually touching it, as in English r and w.
Example sentences
- It is phonologically impossible since Tamil has no [z] sound and since the retroflex approximant sometimes romanized < z > cannot appear in initial position.
- The approximant r can also be regarded as a glide.

Hi all,
Has anyone had any experience with implementing an 'address
verification system' in online (application) forms?
These systems validate a user provided address against a database of
known addresses, usually provided by Postal services. A couple of
examples can be seen at ...
- http://www.qas.com/address-search/interactive-demo.htm
- http://www.typepal.com/demo/demo_standard.php
While I can certainly see the benefits, my concern is that the extra
complexity would reduce both the usability and ux, thus increasing a
form's abandonment rate.
Any input would be very welcome.
Thanks. Marcus
Hi Marcus and everybody who has taken part in this discussion.
I am speaking from a non-neutral point of view, of course, but I think experience may be interesting...
Well, I agree that probably every address verification system adds some complexity to an online form. What We, at Typepal, have tried to do, is to minimize the weight of the verification, by simply suggesting a possible correct address to the user. This means that our address verification is not mandatory, and it never prevents the user from enetering "what he wants to".
Of course If the user choose to enter somethign that is not listed (Sofia, for instance) no suggestion will appear. But, as far as Postal data are concerned there is just one way to write down a town's name or a street name, not necessarily "the correct" one. But the one which is accepted by Postal services.
We are continuously upgrading our forms and databases, and as someone has correctly pointed out, it is virtually impossible to cover all addresses all over the world. The point is that something is always better than nothing. If You take a look at some online registration forms (including the most influential and visited portals, such as Ebay or Amazon) you will notice that no suggestion is provided, so basically You can enter whatever you want. This may result in wrong addresses, thus leading to mismatch in shipping etc.
So, including some verification tool may add a little bit of complexity (while significantly reducing the number of characters needed to enter a valid address, as you can see in our new demo) but it's probably worth it!
Thank You! Cristiano

By Walter T. Ham IVJuly 27, 2010
In the middle of a sidewalk in Seoul, one of the world's largest cities, a monument honors the American general who inspired his Soldiers to grab victory from the jaws of defeat.
"Stand or die!" said then-Eighth U.S. Army Commanding General Lt. Gen. Walton Walker, delivering a pivotal boost of battlefield inspiration to his beleaguered and besieged troops during the darkest days of the Korean War.
A highly decorated veteran of both world wars, Walker visited the most precarious points along the frontlines and poured steel into his Soldiers' spines as they prepared to battle North Korean forces who were bent on expelling them from the last corner of the country.
In the summer of 1950, United Nations forces were boxed into an area behind the Naktong River that was only 50 miles wide by 80 miles long.
Eighth Army was quickly running out of space to trade for time, said Ronney Miller, Eighth U.S. Army historian.
Inside this area that news reports dubbed the "Pusan Perimeter," Eighth Army Soldiers repelled attack after attack, allowing UN forces to grow in strength.
Their tenacity at Pusan led to triumph at Incheon. Eighth Army's decisive stand at the Pusan Perimeter enabled Gen. Douglas MacArthur to launch Operation Chromite, where the U.S. Army's X Corps and the 1st Marine Division poured ashore in Incheon and turned the tide of the war.
The Incheon amphibious assault cut off and scattered enemy forces, allowing UN forces to break out from the Pusan Perimeter and pursue the enemy all the way to the border with China.
Hundreds of thousands of communist Chinese soldiers soon crossed the Yalu River to join forces with the North Koreans and the frontlines see-sawed back and forth, with Seoul changing hands three times, before settling close to the current demilitarized zone.
Through smoldering summers and frigid winters, the bloody conflict dragged on until an armistice was signed, July 27, 1953, in Panmumjom, ending active hostilities. A peace treaty never followed.
"Eighth Army served as the only field army on the peninsula during the course of the Korean War," said Miller, adding that Eighth Army was supported by the I Corps, IX Corps, X Corps, 1st Cavalry Division and the 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 24th, 25th, 40th and 45th Infantry Divisions as well as the 1st Marine Division, 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team and 5th Regimental Combat Team.
American Soldiers earned 80 of the 113 Medals of Honor awarded during the Korean War, with the Marines earning 42, the Navy seven and the newly formed U.S. Air Force its first four. Three U.S. Army posts in Korea today memorialize Army Medal of Honor recipients: Camps George and Henry in Daegu and Camp Red Cloud in Uijeongbu.
The mayor of Seoul's Dobong-gu District honored Walker in December 2009 by unveiling the monument for him near the intersection where he died in a non-combat-related auto accident in 1950. Walker was posthumously promoted to four-star general. Not far from the monument is Walker Hill, the site of Seoul's posh Sheraton Walker Hill Hotel. A statue of Walker, unveiled in June, greets visitors at the entrance to the Eighth Army headquarters in Seoul.
Today, Walker holds a place of high honor in Korea along with other legendary U.S. Army generals like MacArthur, Gen. Matthew Ridgeway and Lt. Gen. James Van Fleet.
"We are walking in the footsteps of giants here," said current Eighth U.S. Army Commanding General Lt. Gen. Joseph F. Fil Jr. "This is where our Soldiers repelled communist aggression and provided the peace and stability that have enabled one of the great modern success stories of the 20th century, the rise of the Republic of Korea into a global economic, political and cultural force."
Fil said he is proud to lead the same Field Army that Walker, Ridgeway and Van Fleet took into battle during the Korean War.
"It is truly an honor to command Eighth Army," said Fil, who served as the 1st Calvary Division and Multi National Division-Baghdad commanding general before assuming command in Korea.
While acknowledging the senior American Army leaders who led the fight here during the Korean War, Fil credited the men and women who serve in Eighth Army today with its continued success.
"It is our people who uphold the storied legacy of this great warfighting formation," said Fil. "Generations of Soldiers have made it possible for Eighth Army to not only repel the enemy 60 years ago, but also to maintain peace and stability here ever since."

An appendicostomy is the creation of a pathway from your belly button to the large intestine. The pathway is created using your own body tissue, the appendix. Using your own body tissue instead of an artificial tube will decrease the chance of irritation.
The Appendix Can Be Used to Deliver Enemas
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
An appendicostomy is done to help deliver enemas more easily. Enemas are fluids that are placed into the large intestines to soften stool and relieve constipation. The fluids help clean out the intestines when there is a problem with the intestines or stool. Enemas may be needed in children with spina bifida, spinal injuries, Hirschprung's disease, or constipation not relieved by medical care.
Enemas are normally given through the rectum. This can make it difficult for people to deliver the enemas to themselves. For older children, it can be difficult to have rectal enemas delivered by their parents. An appendicostomy can allow more independence for these children.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Talk to your doctor about these risks before the procedure.
Your doctor will need to make sure that enemas are effective for your condition. You will also need to show good fecal control with enemas. Good control is staying clean for at least 24 hours after emptying your bowels.
You may need to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
General anesthesia is used. You will be asleep during the procedure.
A small cut will be made just below the belly button. The tip of the appendix will also be opened. The opened end will then be attached to an opening in the belly button. If the appendix has been removed previously, a new one will be created from the large intestine. A valve will then be placed at this connection. The valve allows the enema to flow in but keeps fluids from leaking out.
A tube will be passed through the belly button and valve. The tip of the tube will stay in the appendix. The end of the tube will remain outside of the belly button. The tube will be taped into place. This tube will stay in place for 2-4 weeks after the surgery until the area heals.
About 2 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
The length of stay may be 1-5 days. If you have any problems, you may need to stay longer.
You will be shown how to care for your tube and deliver enemas.
Enema will be given within 24 hours of the first meal. Although, you may need to wait longer if a new appendix was created.
When you return home, take these steps:
Follow instruction to care for your tube. General steps include:
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Hi Caroline!
Thank you so much for creating a beautiful theme! Spun is really great, although it's a steep learning curve for me.
My question is really basic: I was just wondering how to edit the home page with the circles? Right now it just shows up with one circle and the header bar with pages I've created. I'd like to be able to upload photos and change the text within the circles...and not to mention add more circles besides just the one!
I've been reading through the forum and haven't found this fundamental question yet. Your help is much appreciated! And again, great job!

Apparently this footage is from the Chinese side.
Also know as the 3rd Indochina war after ,starting with the Sino Soviet split the CCP was getting concerned over the growing Soviet power in the new "glorious revolution" in Vietnam.
basically there was a long line of events that led to China wanting to invade Vietnam in 1979...The Vietnamese had invaded Cambodia (now Kampuchea) in an attempt to oust the murderous Khmer Rouge government. The Chinese disapproved and invaded in 1979 as a punitive measure.
A PRC force of 200,000 men supported by armor many who were advisors just recently in the war against the Americans invaded.
The Vietnamese put up thier own force of 100,000 militia and 60,000 regulars but keeping thier main army in the rear by Hanoi.The red Chinese got about 20 kilometers in Vietnam when thier human wave/meat grinder theory got bogged down in Cao Bang,Lao Chi and Lang Son.In the couse of 1 month the red Chinese lose over 26,000 men kia but that number is unknown some say more some say less.Vietnam lose around 20,000.
The PRC threw everything they had as you can se on the clip they used chemical weapons(the gas masks) and a scorched earth policy.The Vietnam army used guerilla warfare and even some left over US equipment.The PRC eventually withdrew.

When you experience heartburns then treating them with medications is a possibility. But if you are having more an occasional bout of heartburn then there is a huge possibility that you are suffering from a disease called acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux.
In such conditions, the acid in the stomach moves to the esophagus causing a burning sensation in the body, especially the chest and throat area. Such conditions can be treated by a number of over-the-counter oral medicines and herbs that are safe and easily available across herbal food stores.
Herbs To Ease Acid Reflux Disease
Most herbs that effectively treat acid reflux conditions are safe and have no major side effects. Few of the best known herbs that relieve acid reflux conditions are listed below:
Slippery Elm
Also known as sweet elm and red elm and found in parts ofNorth America, slippery elm has been used in ancient medicines for ages. The inner bark of the tree called the bast is rich in calcium, mucilage, bioflavonoids, and tannins; hence, it is used for most herbal potions that are made to treat acid reflux disorders.
The bast is also used as syrup that can treat other illnesses such as digestive problems, stomach ulcers, and many more. Known to have no major side effects, slippery elm is highly recommended by many medical practitioners.
The root of the herbal plant is very useful in treating acid reflux problems. The wood is often referred to as sweet root that is stated to be sweeter than sugar. A known treatment for acid reflux disorders, licorice root can also treat other ailments such as canker sores and peptic ulcers. While opting to ingest licorice root supplements, one must check that the capsule or supplements contain de-glycyrrhizinated licorice because glycyrrhiza can cause serious side effects such as muscle aches and numbness of body parts.
Deglycyrrhizinated licorice or DGL is basically an extract and daily chewing of DGL for a minimum of hour can protect the stomach lining which reduces the occurrence of any acid reflux conditions. Like other herbs, one must only have licorice root after consultation with a medical practitioner and also never extend the routine for more than six weeks at a stretch.
A number of herbal preparations for acid refluxes contain either the leaf or the extracted oil of peppermint. What makes it so effective and popular in herbal remedies is its chief ingredient of menthol that has a soothing affect on the patient.
Apart from treatment of stomach acid conditions, one can also treat disorders such as appetite loss and peptic ulcer with peppermint solutions. But like many herbal remedies, one must be slightly careful while ingesting raw herbs or taking supplements as this do not go well with other drugs and a few conditions such as pregnancy and heart disorders.
German Chamomile
Also known as Matricaria recutita, it is more effective than Roman Chamomile. Antibacterial, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory in characteristic, it is a great treatment for acid reflux along with other health problems such as anxiety, gingivitis, and digestive problems.
To make the acid reflux solution, all you need to do is to use the flower heads that are smashed and the extracts are used to make oil or teas. While opting to use German Chamomile, one must remember that it cannot be taken if you suffer from asthma as the condition can worsen if taken without medical supervision.
Huang Lian, Lu Gen, & Zhi Mu
Chinese herbs such as these can treat acid reflux as these herbs target the acid, avoid the buildup, and cool the stomach immediately. Also called the stomach fire, these acid reflux herbs are often prescribed by medical practitioners who prescribe these herbs combined with acupuncture treatments that target build-up of acid in body parts such as abdomen and joints.
Coriander, Cardamom & Black Pepper
Known as the cooling herbs, any of these three can be used to cool the stomach contents once consumed. Most refluxes occur because of stomach acids that cause stress within the body but consumption of these herbs allows you to cool the digestive tract. The best way to consume such herbs is to use it in the meals prepared on a regular basis or use it to prepare tea.
Green Tea
Touted as a treatment for many health problems, it is a great protector against cancer. Rich in natural antioxidants called polyphenols, green tea can heal acid refluxes in its most natural state – all you need to do is to use the tea leaves in a tea strainer and have it as regularly as possible.
Naturally caffeinated it can trigger a few unwanted disorders such as anxiety and sleeplessness and if you want to stay clear from such disorders then consult a physician about drinking green tea on a regular basis. One must not consume green tea if she is pregnant or breastfeeding.
This is probably the most common remedy for acid reflux and also a common kitchen ingredient. The roots helps in shifting the content of the stomach which prevents any acidic reaction in the stomach and this is one of the reason why ginger is one of the most effective herbs for acid reflux disorders.
Though one must consult a physician regarding the exact dosage, the most commonly prescribed dosage recommended is 250 milligram divided into four times on a daily basis. Though one can try the commonly available ginger supplements, one can also opt for other forms such as consumption of fresh ginger, ginger tea, dried ginger slices, or candied ginger. One can also opt for smaller meals that contain ginger; though one must refrain from overusing ginger as it can cause heartburn if taken in excess.
Aloe Vera
An anti-inflammatory ingredient, it is one of the natural remedies for acid refluxes. Due to its soothing properties, the extracts from the plant inhibit acid production. For best results, one can take the extract before each meal.
Used medicinally for centuries, the leaves and the roots of the herbal plant can be used on a regular basis to treat acid refluxes. Using the gel extract soothes the stomach and throat that coats the stomach lining that counter the acid reflux symptoms.
