Council member reacts to mayor
To the editor:
It's obvious the mayor will do whatever it takes to get me off Salem City Council.
The mayor stated: "Mr. Schory and I are playing "petty politics." On Sunday, two days before the May Democrat primary, he managed to get negative comments about me in the paper.
Today, a week before the November general election, the Salem News published his "Letter to the Editor making statements about Mr. Schory and myself. He accused Mr. Schory and I of having personal agendas and negative support for the city's efforts (meaning the administration) by voting "no" on an income tax increase and taking control of the After Party. The only agenda I have is to do what I promised and that is listen to the people and speak for them on city council.
His printed comments as a mayor candidate in 2007, stated he had a 12-point economic plan that won't raise taxes. Perhaps we should talk about political promises and not "petty politics." I don't recall Mayor DeJane getting involved in council elections. Mayor Wolford should worry about the future of our community instead of taking time to write letters about Clyde Brown and Mr. Schory.
He stated Mr. Schory and I denied Ms. O'Leary the courtesy of voting, knowing the situation of her surgery. I didn't know about her pending surgery until after the meeting. If I had been aware, I would have still voted "no." The Municipal Events ordinance is just a new title for the one council failed to pass previously.
The mayor stated Salem will be facing serious issues in 2010. Our city and our labor force has been losing jobs, homes and family security since the first employer moved out of town. The problem is the administration hasn't a firm plan in place to obtain or retain jobs. His answer is to ask the people for an income tax increase and entertain them while we wait and see what happens.
Words from Columbiana councilman
To the editor:
As a city councilman I have been faced with many tough decisions over the last four years. But none as difficult as the current storm water problem that faces our city and how to resolve it fairly.
I myself have drainage problems at my residence but it is not nearly as bad as many of the citizens that attended our meeting on Oct. 20. Many of these citizens have attended meetings in the past with the same issue, flooding of their property and homes.
They spoke of losses to personal property and that many of the insurance companies that we pay large premiums to will not cover all the damages. How going out for dinner becomes stressful during even small rains for fear of coming home to a flooded house. While this is an issue for a small portion of our town we as council must decide how to help that portion while not penalizing the families in the so called newer part of town such as Firestone Farms and other newer developments that were built to stricter codes to address these storm water problem.
We have talked about bringing this issue to ballot and letting everyone in town decide if we as a community should make this decision. Not many people at the meeting were in favor of this. My question to them is this: when did we become a dictatorship and lose our ability to stay a democracy? We are looking at a problem that affects a small portion of our city. Now before you start to send me hate mail know this, I am in favor of fixing this problem.
We all should be able to put our heads down at night and not be afraid of waking up to a flooded house. This problem affects every home owner indirectly even if your home does not flood. Property values can be affected, city population can decrease which means less tax revenues coming in that could cause city services to suffer or be cut if need be.
So no matter where you live you will pay in one form or another with or without this utility surcharge. If this did go to ballot I would cast a "yes" vote once I knew how much and for how long I would be paying this surcharge. What's wrong with putting a $2-$3 a month charge on now and getting the plans done and start this process? I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is guessing at the costs and starting to charge home owners $8-$9 a month. Remember we also have a new water treatment plant to built in the next two to three years and water rates are going to increase as well. If they increase 10 to 15 percent now we are taking about possibly $15- $20 extra monthly that you are required to pay and these costs will only get higher as we go grow.
As a councilman I have to look at what's best for everyone in town and not just for certain areas. Can we spend less on other things in town? Council and the city manager must look at that as well. Maybe we do less paving next year and our Capital Improvement Fund can fund some of the cost to get the planning done. This problem has existed in this town for over 50 years. We can't fix it over night by blindly adding a surcharge to everyone's utility bill and hope that we get grant money from the USDA. Steps must be put in place to fix this problem that as I have said affects everyone in this city. But all I ask is that we start with small steps, not giant ones.
Unhappy with many of today's youth
To the editor:
Many of our young people have become materialistic monsters and largely because of television programs and peer pressure and to some extent our education system they have lost sight of what constitutes the moral foundation of a civilized society.
There is little appreciation for the sacrifices of our founding fathers and our veterans. Our freedom is taken for granted and murdering thugs such as Che Guevara are revered as martyrs. High school girls spend exorbitant sums on prom dresses. Tennis shoes cost over $100 a pair. Kids throw tantrums at Walmart until the parent buys a toy. Summer jobs such as picking apples and tomatoes go begging because they are too lazy to get up and go to work.
When I was around 12 years old my dad was building a coal tipple in a remote part of Tuscarawas County. It was late summer and I helped out by bringing the workers bolts, water and welding rods. Two of the people my dad hired were a father and son team. They were very poor and lived a mile away in a shack that sat in the middle of a black slate dump. There were three girls and two boys in the family. They had no electricity or indoor plumbing. One day Darryl, the boy, came to work and bragged that they had just bought a Jersey cow. Everybody went up to look at her that night and all pitched in to help build a small shelter from sawmill slabs and corrugated roofing. One of the girls laughed excitedly and said, "Now we can have butter and milk and cottage cheese." We had to go inside and look at the radio they had just purchased which was hooked up to a 6-volt battery.
One evening as quitting time rolled around Darryl made an announcement to the crew. "You're all invited up for supper tonight. We picked a bushel of peppers from the garden last night and dug some potatoes and Pop went to the store and bought 10 pounds of hamburg. We're having stuffed peppers, mashed potatoes with gravy, homemade bread and butter with strawberry jam and fresh buttermilk." He was so excited he could hardly contain himself. When we all went to the house the girls had a white sheet spread across the supper table and a vase of marigolds in the middle. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the evening as we all listed to W WVA Wheeling West Virginia on the radio after the meal. All the kids in that family became either school teachers or nurses. I wonder how many kids today would get excited over a stuffed pepper supper with homemade bread and butter.

While the Devils held their morning skate on the main rink, goalie Martin Brodeur tested his sprained right knee on the practice facility.
Brodeur, recovering from a sprained MCL, was alone on the ice and moved freely as he skated in full gear. He said he might practice with the team Thursday.
"It feels good but I have to see how I feel whether I practice with the team tomorrow," Brodeur said. "It's stretching the MCL. It's a little tender."
Brodeur said he faced shots from goalie coach Chris Terreri on Tuesday. He took shots from some teammates after today's morning skate. They included Adam Mair, Jay Leach and Anton Volchenkov.
General manager Lou Lamoriello said he was pleased with Brodeur's recovery.
"Yes. He had a good workout this morning," Lamoriello said.
Coach Jacques Lemaire confirmed that Brodeur could practice with the full team Thursday.
"We'll see after," Lemaire said. "Maybe tomorrow he will be with us."
Johan Hedberg was to make his fourth straight start Wednesday night against Carolina. Lemaire is happy with his play so far.
"I've seen him at times before I got here playing worse than this," the coach said. "Now that we need him, he shows up. He stands up and plays well. That's exactly what you need. If he would be where he was before when he was struggling a bit, we'd have no chance.
"Anybody knows that if your goalie is no good one night, you don't win. It's that simple. We're fortunate he's been playing like this. Now he feels responsibilities. I think it's a big part of the difference. He's a competitor and now he sees the challenge and he steps up."
* * *
Lamoriello said "there has been no decision" made on whether the Devils will retire Scott Niedermayer's No. 27 this year or wait until next season.
"I don't want to say any more about that," Lamoriello said.
He left the possibility open for this season, which is down to the final seven weeks, but distractions such as the team's season-long struggle, coaching change and upcoming trade deadline, could prompt the club to wait until next season before honoring Niedermayer.
* * *
Volchenkov shattered a pane of glass near the end of the Devils' morning skate.
Lemaire said there would be no lineup changes for Wednesday night's game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
"They've always played us the same way," the coach said. "Intensity is a big part of this game. Skating is a big part of this game. Puck control. Every time we do get the puck, we have to be careful what we do with it. We have to skate, skate and skate because this is a team that moves the puck well, skates well played a good offensive and defensive game.
"So we have to be careful when we turn the puck over. They have guys that can make plays. Guys that go to the net and create a lot of chances."
The Devils haven't scored a 5-on-4 power play goal in eight games. They last scored with a one-man advantage Jan. 23 against the Panthers.
When they scored during a two-man advantage Friday night against the Sharks, it ended an overall 0-for-17 PP drought, but the 5-on-4 drought continues.
"If we don't need it, I'm fine," Lemaire said. "I don't really worry."
So what is he looking for next from his club?
"We want to see a lot of things," Lemaire answered. "How about scoring goals on the power play? How about stopping the opponents' power play? How about beating the opponent 5-on-5? How about not letting them too many shots? How about getting shutouts? You want more?"
Lemaire was asked if he believes the Devils' disastrous start is past.
"I don't think so. I think the past will be (gone) after the next dip," he answered. "If we lose a few games in a row, how are we going to get back and play as well as we can? Then the past will be gone."
He said he isn't using psychology predicting a dip in the Devils' play. Perhaps then it will never come.
"(That would be) the first time I used (psychology)," Lemaire said. "We're pretty steady. You guys will look at the wins. I'm looking at how we play. I feel we can play better than our last couple of games. So this could be the dip."
* * *
Lemaire said rookie defenseman Mark Fayne has surprised him with his solid play.
"Definitely. I can't believe he came from (Providence College in Hockey East) last year," Lemaire said.
"He's learning. He's very interested to know what he should do, without bothering you in a way. Not every time, 'Am I okay, coach? Should I make this pass instead of that pass?' Not every shift, but he's asking the right questions. He's got the mind. He's got the skills to improve quicker than other players. That's why he's where he's at right now."
* * *
Eric Staal leads the Hurricanes in scoring with 56 points (27 goals, 29 assists) in 57 games.
"This guy is really hard to check," Lemaire said.
He pointed to Staal's speed and ability to get to the net.
* * *
Lemaire said his time away from the NHL after last season helped him see how much the game has changed.
"I want it to be as hard as possible for an opponent to play against us," he said. "That's what I want. You have a lot of teams, more and more teams, like that. That's why the game has changed so much. You don't even realize it. You have to step out of the game for a little bit and watch to see how it's changed. It's amazing how it's changed.
"I watch games and I can't believe how teams play well. It's amazing. I'm shocked the way the teams play well in the NHL. All of them. Before it was such a difference between half of the teams and the other half. Now they're all good."
He was asked if there was one big philosophical change he had to make with the Devils when he took over Dec. 23.
"It's private. You need a jacket and a whistle and a hat," Lemaire said with a laugh. "When you get them, we'll talk about it."

Just talked to my doctor, it turns out he did a lyme test in 2008 and it showed no sign of lyme disease. Really relieved. If anyone has any other ideas why I have CFS, please let me know.
YES ! Your doctor is very likely to have missed it. Try to find a doctor EXPERIENCED with Lyme Disease. Any other GP will be USELESS & CLUELESS. Also, unless your doctor did a specific blood test for Lyme he would not have found it. The general blood panel will not find Lyme Disease.
Here is that thread on Lyme Disease here for more valuable information.
The longer you've had Lyme Disease, the more difficult it is to cure, that is true. But I do think a cure is possible even in later stages, as you will see in that video, "Under our Skin."
Learn about the Lyme Blood Test & what is required so you can assist your doctor. Google "Lyme Blood Test"
Lyme Disease Test: The Test
You and your doctor should work closely together, so learn as much as you can about the disease, mainly because doctors are generally clueless and need your help. You will be the expert here to help manage your own cure..
Just talked to my doctor, it turns out he did a lyme test in 2008 and it showed no sign of lyme disease. Really relieved. If anyone has any other ideas why I have CFS, please let me know.
It turns out that common sense is not as common as we thought.
2008 ? ? Your doctor may have taken the blood test BEFORE your body had time to develop Lyme Disease Anti-Bodies. Please review all the facts about Lyme Disease Blood Test via google.
Listen, if you start developing joint pain you must DEMAND a new blood test. Joint pain seems to be the only symptom from Lyme that you don't have [yet].
Lets assume you don't have Lyme disease. A review of your MAJOR symptoms in 2 words or less each:
* Nausea
* Burning head
* dizzy
* fast pulse
* headaches
* some rashes
* bloated stomach
* cold extremities
Is this correct?
Here is what comes to mind:
1) Toxic Mold Poisoning
2) Drinking Water contamination
Can you move into another house for a few months, maybe with a relative or a friend? Something in your home could be poisoning you.
* Search your home for mold ( black spots on walls or ceiling).
* Test your water for toxic substances
* See a Toxicologist
Do a Google Search on your MAJOR [one word] symptoms to see what you find.
Google nausea, cfs, hot head
You have a fast heart rate. How fast is your at rest HR?
What is your Blood Pressure?

If I get joint pains I will insist on a new test, but for now, I don't really think it's lyme, seeing how it's been about 3-4 years since I had the rash, and I think it was more than one circle, doesn't that rule out lyme?
The symptoms are pretty much correct, , but insomnia to. And I get really stressed when I'm exhausted, can just feel the adrenalin. Think it's because I have to fight to stay awake during the day so I have a better shot at falling asleep at night. And moving somewhere else for a while is not really an option, it would be way to exhausting for me.
I don't think it mold. I was starting to get sick before we moved when I was ten, but will look into it. My mum made sure that it wasn't anything dangerous when we bought a new house. Same with water, I live in Norway, and we have pretty clean water here plus we have this water filtration system that's supposed to take care of all of that.
My heart rate is kinda hard to say, cause it depends a lot. sometimes I have 120 when I wake up, sometimes it's really slow, but beats hard, sometimes it's fast, slow, fast, slow... I have checked it out at the hospital and they couldn't find anything wrong with my heart. Last time I checked I had low blood pressure, but nothing to worry about according to the doctor.
will do a google search. If you have any other ideas, let me know. thanks.

Musings About Life... After Birth
Posted by Janna on August 13, 2011
Today, our family made a construction paper *stained glass window* together. It was super easy and really fun, too!
Now, don't worry if you are not an artistically inclined individual. I certainly am not, but this is an easy little project that anyone can do. Seriously.
Here's what you need:
- Pair of scissors
4 or 5 pieces of colored construction paper (we used purple, green, blue, yellow & red)
- 1 piece of white construction paper (I was out of white, so we used tan)
Glue stick
- Masking tape (optional)
Wipes for cleanup
Before you get your kid involved, grab the scissors and colored pieces of paper. Cut the paper into various shapes, like this:
Once the shapes are ready, you can put the scissors away.
Gather the colored paper shapes and remaining materials and head with your child to a kid-sized table or his high chair.
Place the white paper on the table (you might want to secure the paper in place with masking tape).
Show the colored paper shapes to your child. Choose a shape and demonstrate how to glue it down on the paper. Then, invite your child to select a shape. "Tommy, which shape would you like to use now?"
Once your child selects a shape, be sure to point out the color. "Very nice, Tommy. You chose a blue shape."
Now, help him apply glue to the back of it. Then encourage him to find a spot on the paper for the shape. "Tommy, where would you like this blue shape to go?"
When he indicates a spot, help him place the shape on the paper.
Repeat this process for as long as it holds your tot's attention. For my boy, it lasted about fifteen minutes. Then pick up your child's finished work and lay it flat to dry. If you have any shapes left over, you might want to store those to use for another project.
Once you are finished with all that, use the baby wipes for clean up. I know that this is probably stating the obvious, but I am mentioning it because my husband Andrew has turned it into a little game. As a result, our Tommy likes to help wipe down his table and high chair. When Daddy cleans the tabletop he always lets Tommy take a turn and sings "Clean! Clean! Clean!" Tommy adores it and sometimes he sings along, too.
Once the glue is dry, the only thing left to do is to write your kid's name and the date on the project and display it on the fridge. Here is Tommy's *stained glass window* from today:
What do you guys think? Do you have suggestions for ways to improve this project? What about some other art ideas for tots? Please share!

Here's what was going on in my life, roughly this time last year:
My son has recently become obsessed with any and every thing that features wheels. He has eschewed all of his toys that aren't trucks, cars or tractors, and each morning when he wakes up, he throws a fit until I open the window so he can look out onto our street and point to all of our neighbors' cars.
The other day, I reported this to Momtourage member Linda while we were at Pottery Barn Kids together.
"I hate to tell you this, honey, but you know this means he has no shot of being gay," she said. In my never-ending quest to steer my son towards a life in which he'll never leave me for another woman, I removed my child from the "boy" side of the store and plunked him and Linda's daughter, Lily, in the middle of the pretend kitchen equipment. "Look, kids - check out this pink stove!" I sang. Lily immediately started playing with the toy stove and refrigerator, while my son ignored me, making a beeline back to the other side of the store, zeroing in on a wheeled train, tipping it over and spinning its wheels.
"You need to just give it up," Linda sighed.
"That's easy for you to say," I shot back. "Your kid will see nothing wrong with accompanying her mother on vacations when she's 30." Linda admitted I had a point.
At first, my son was calling all vehicles "tractor", after his favorite wheeled toy.
Soon, he learned that the word for his blue and yellow dump truck was "truck", and began to use it as well. Recently, he picked up "car". Unfortunately, however, he has morphed "car" and "truck" into a new word he now uses when pointing out all wheeled vehicles. This past week, he debuted this word when I took him with me to meet Momtourage member Melissa and her son for lunch. After finishing his turkey and swiss crepe, my kid pointed to a van outside and shouted "cock!"
"Did he just say what I think he said?" she asked, giggling.
He repeated it about 3 more times. It was as clear as day. "I believe so," I groaned.
"That's hilarious." she laughed, then tried to get him to say "big" beforehand. I finally told her - not so nicely- to stop it.
Everywhere my husband and I took him this past weekend, he pointed out a "cock".
"Oh my God," I said to my husband, after my son shouted "cock" about 20 times in the middle of the toy store. "It totally sounds like he's saying 'cock', right? It's not just me?"
"Uh, it doesn't sound like he's saying 'cock'," he said, "He is."
Perhaps there's hope after all…..

As my 5th grade teacher used to say, times flies when you're having fun…and even when you're not. Do you believe that it's almost Chanukah? And Christmas is right around the corner. Damn, when did December happen?
This past weekend I realized I needed to get my butt in gear and get my holiday cards ordered already. I'm a big fan of photo cards - especially when you have kids. It's always fun to show off how cute your kid is and when you get others' cards, see how everyone's kid has grown since last year.
For my son's first holiday season, when he was only a couple of months old, I sent out photo cards (I ordered them off Shutterfly.com) with this photo:
Though my son is not named Rick Jr. after his father, when I was pregnant with him, I referred to him as "Rick Jr." because I knew he was a boy and I thought it was funny, particularly because Jewish people don't name for those who are alive. We think it's bad luck or something, and instead name for someone who has passed away. Though using your deceased relative's actual name works, of course, you can use the name's first letter. So, if your late grandpa was Mordecai, you're not screwed; Max (or Meredith) is sufficient. Additionally, if you are having a hard time picking an "M" name you like (or you didn't really like your grandpa that much but your mom is going to "die a thousand deaths" if you don't honor him), the middle name works too.
Anyway, I digress….so, I guess I referred to this baby as Rick Jr. so much that one of my mom's good friends actually thought I was naming my son Rick Jr., and purchased this pillow for me. I included it in his nursery, thinking it was so cute and a good reminder of what I called him in utero. Well, when he came out, he WAS (and, naturally, still remains) Rick Jr. As I've lamented before, he's a clone of my husband. Therefore, the pillow - and the card - was all the funnier.
Last year, I sent out a GORGEOUS card from Tiny Prints with a black and white version of this photo of my son, my husband and myself (with that annoying lock of hair over my forehead Photoshopped out) from our annual Cape Cod trip:
This year, I chose another cool card from Shutterfly.com, and I have to say, it's my favorite holiday card yet. I'll post it later so as to not ruin the surprise for those who will be receiving it, but I gotta tell you, it is really cute.
If you're needing to order some holiday cards for yourself (and seriously, if you haven't yet done it - you need to do it soon, people!), I definitely recommend checking out Shutterfly.com. Not only are its cards reasonably-priced, but have it has a selection of cards designed by well-known artists/personalities like avalisa, Martha Stewart, Stacy Claire Boyd and Shirley Lee. Additionally, Kodak Gallery has all sorts of beautiful cards (and photo gifts) too. A word to the wise: before ordering your photo cards from a big-time online vendor, check the site's homepage or couponchief.net for discount codes - if you order early enough, you can often get 20-30% off your order!
If you're looking for something different, check out Simply Silhouettes. Their cards are so cool; you take a picture of your child or childrens' profile/s, which they turn into silhouettes and then place them on a card, like this:

Happy holidays (and card making!).

Thankfully, this Halloween the Kaplans avoided the costume scandal of last year. Luckily, I got it right this time by purchasing with a seriously adorable Batman getup for my son. Not the most original, I know, but is there anything cuter than a little boy in a Batman costume? I think not.
While I imagined he'd look cute in the costume, I was concerned that my son would not be into donning the best parts of it - the cape and the mask. Fortunately, however, he didn't protest about either. Phew!
By the time we were ready to go trick or treating, Batman was WIRED. He had no nap yesterday (too much excitement, I guess) and had eaten like 3 packages of Whoppers.
Here are some photos of all the Halloween glory:
Batman with his weapon of choice, a plastic pumpkin
Riding his version of the Batmobile
Getting ready to go out, minus his hat
Trick or treating/saving the neighborhood with Dad
Back at home, saving the rug from fuzz balls
And kissing Mommy, the biggest superhero of all, right?
Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

The '08 election won't take place for another year, but it's never too early to start campaigning for your favorite candidate - especially when said campaigning involves purchasing new clothes. In the Thursday Styles section of today's New York Times, there's an article about cool campaign wear for adults. Why, though, should you stop with just dressing yourself all blue or (gasp) red? I'm all for using your kids as little political statements too.
I live in DC, so all things political are sort of the norm here. I'm a big 'ol Democrat, so naturally, I buy things for my kid that reflect such. Here are some examples:
When my son was 4 months old, he ate his first solid food wearing this bib, which I got at Washington National airport.
I also used to outfit him in these shoes from trendykid.com (the ones on the left, of course). When I took him to vote with me last November, he was wearing them, and got sorts of oohs and aahs at our true-blue polling place.
There are some seriously cute - and witty - items available to show your support for your favorite '08 Presidential candidate. Here are some of my personal faves:
The "My Mama's for Obama" tee from babypolitico.com ($16-18).
I worship this "A woman for President? Has the world gone sane?"
bib from cafepress.com ($9.99).
Kinda diggin' this "Bill for First Lady" onesie from cafepress.com too ($13.99).
And, of course, lest we leave out the Rebublicans, the Cheney/Voldemort baseball-style tee from cafepress.com ($22.99).

Even though everything I have read says that my 2 year-old son is a bit too young to understand the fact that I am pregnant, my husband seems hell-bent on introducing him to the concept.
"Mommy has a baby in her tummy," he said tonight as we all ate dinner together. "Do you think it's a boy or a girl?"
"Boy," he replied.
Maybe he does understand?
"Is Mommy a boy or a girl?" I asked.
"Boy," he replied.
Maybe not.
"Mommy has a baby in her tummy!" my husband repeated.
My son took a minute to let this sink in. "Wanna see it!" he demanded.
My husband and I broke out in laughter.
"You can't see it until March, honey, " I said.
"Wanna see it! Wanna SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!"
"It's growing inside Mommy's tummy, " I said. Tummy, uterus, same thing.
"Mommy has a baby inside her tummy," my husband repeated.
"A baby," I said.
"It's growing," my son added.
He's getting there…..

Tickets for the January Hannah Montana (played by teen "sensation" Miley Cyrus) concert at Washington, DC's Verizon Center sold out this past Saturday in 12 minutes, faster than the sale of tickets to the Bruce Springsteen show.
Missed the boat? Tickets to the show are currently available on ebay for around $750 (face value price for the tickets did not exceed $66).
Miley, in response to the mayhem, was overheard asking, "Who's the 'boss' now, bitch?"

Fort Huachuca, AZ. - Fort Huachuca celebrated Native American Heritage Month at the Thunder Mountain Activity Centre on Nov. 14 with poetry readings, a cultural dance demonstration and a Native American Code Talker presentation.
The event started out with a traditional Native American invocation by Joe Joaquin, cultural resource specialist, Tohono O'Odham Nation. The first deliverance was spoken in the native O'Odham language and then repeated in English. Following the prayer, Eliath Chavez, Buena Vista High School Chorus, sang the national anthem.
Maj. Gen. Gregg Potter, commanding general, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort Huachuca, addressed the distinguished guests, giving recognition and thanks to those providing knowledge, entertainment and support of the Native American heritage. "I think that these Native American Heritage celebrations are very, very important because we learn about other cultures. The Army has not always done so well with understanding other cultures, and so the fact that we are here talking about Native American Heritage Month is very important because that is a culture that we didn't understand. Quite frankly, we didn't treat the first inhabitants of our country very well and there are others in our history that we have done the same to. I think the more that we can learn from each other, the better off we can be," he said.
Mariela Picorelly and Spencer Kerr, students at Colonel Smith Middle School, then recited their poems that won the Native American Heritage poetry contest.
The Pascola group of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe performed a cultural demonstration, the deer dance. The Pascola Deer Dance is part of the traditional Lenten ceremonies, usually lasting through the night, signifying the relationship between the Pascua Yaqui Tribe and the deer, an animal that they are both scared of and admire.
There was a dancer wearing a white cloth around his head and eyes, and a deer head with antlers attached on top. He wore rattles made of gourds around his wrists and had cocoon rattles tied around his ankles. He danced with a Pascola member, who portrayed an attempted capture of the deer.
There were two singers who sat on the floor playing a rasping stick, representing the deer's breathing and another singer who used a water drum, representing the deer's heartbeat. A violin and a harp were used to accompany a flute and drum that created the symbolic wilderness-like music. The Pascola group then presented a tribute dance, giving thanks to the veterans and their Families.
Following the demonstration, guest speaker, Dr. William Meadows, professor, Missouri State University, gave a brief about the Native American Code Talkers of both world wars. Dr. Meadows is the author of the book "Comanche Code Talkers of WWII" and has published numerous articles. His various testimonies and research influenced the 2008 Code Talkers Recognition Act that gave federal recognition to all Native American Code Talkers. A slide show was presented, giving detailed information about the code talkers, who they were, how they began, what their role was, and where they are today.
Concluding the presentation, Potter presented awards to those who participated in the Native American Heritage Month Observance, presenting them with certificates of achievement and tokens of appreciation.

- Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
- Official Pawn Sharing Club #50
This club is about sharing pawns among active players, getting each other rift crystals, knowledge, items & feedback.
To interested New Players:
This club works both ways. We hire you, you hire us. This thread is not for promoting your pawn once! It's meant to be an active community, where you are visible from time to time, letting us know how much RC, items, knowledge you got from us, who you are traveling with, etc.
The club list:
If you want to become a member, add your info to the list. Sign up, then just follow set up instructions.
Link to list: http://opsc.comxa.com/
Acknowledging a hire:
An important and mandatory duty! Post a little thank you about who hired your pawn, RC received, knowledge, gifts, etc. This is important as these posts allow others to see that you (& those that hired you) are active & are thus more likely to rent your (& their) pawn. Details of a hire show up when you rest at an inn or bench. Simply hit square on each one, then use R1 to scroll through gift, knowledge, rating, etc. (You should keep a notebook/pad to keep track of it all)
It is highly recommended that you put your info (psn/pawn name/pawn vocation & level) in your signature. This will make it easier for others to hire you, since all your info is always right under your posts. It is also a great way to promote your pawn!
Hiring higher level pawns:
You can hire higher level pawns by sending them a friend request (mention gamefaq or opsc). Once accepted, they cost 0 RC, but you should know there is a exp penalty for hiring pawns above your Arisen's level (which caps off at 25 levels above).
We also suggest that you read the "Basic Pawn Hiring & Sharing Faq" to learn about things like body bags & how to prevent them & other basics of pawn sharing.

Activity star system:
Please update stars to 5 if active. Individual stars will be removed on a fixed schedule to help identify active & inactive members. If you do not keep your entry up to date it will end up being deleted.

The remarkable amount of work which has been done on the cerebrospinal fluid in the past few years may be imagined when it is stated that Kaupe was able to find references to 487 articles bearing on the subject published during the last three years. It is only since 1901, as Cornell1 points out, that lumbar puncture has been generally used by the neurologist and the psychiatrist, though the worth of the procedure was pointed out by Quincke ten years previously. It is fair to state, however, that since Quincke's original work considerable modifications in the methods of examination have come into vogue, so that at present an examination of the spinal fluid usually consists of a cyto-count, an estimation of the pressure of the fluid, and a determination of the proteid content. Of these three procedures the cyto-count, which includes an estimate of both the number and variety

Legacy of Pain
Lovely and Unspoiled Krissy Taylor Leaves Behind a Mystery That May Never Be Solved
Shortly after a joyous fireworks display, however, the mood changed. Some of the mourners headed for TGI Friday's to remember the teenager whose greatest pleasures had been line-dancing and chattering about boys. Above the murmur of the crowd, they could hear a TV newscaster reporting the results of a preliminary autopsy. No illegal drugs, it seemed, had been found in Krissy Taylor's body. "Yeah, right!" snapped a cynical waitress—a woman who apparently never knew Taylor.
"It made me so mad that people say drugs were involved," says Tricia Izzard, 18, a friend of Taylor's since sixth grade. "Kristen was always telling me how bad drugs were. She wouldn't even let us bring alcohol in the truck. She didn't even drink."
Following Taylor's mysterious death, however—and in the absence of toxicology reports expected this week—the rumors spread quickly. In New York, fashion insiders postulated privately that, in the hours before she died, Taylor might have been using Primatene Mist, a nonprescription asthma remedy, to get an over-the-counter high. They wondered whether she had coped with stress by abusing booze or drugs, and whether Barbara, 48, and Ken, 54, had pressured her into a life before the cameras. And they whispered that Taylor, like many models, must have starved herself until her body was vulnerable to any minor shock. In short, they found it difficult to accept the simple truth: that Taylor was a clean-living kid whose loving family couldn't protect her from a death that was almost certainly accidental.
Those who knew the 5'11", 127-lb. Taylor, though, refused to believe that she had any sinister secrets. "She was the most normal, down-to-earth person you can imagine," says neighbor Jennifer Strom, 17, who was among the 125 mourners at a candlelight vigil for Taylor at a park in Hollywood, Fla., 12 days after her death. "Her favorite thing was baking chocolate-chip cookies with her mom and watching Grease." Adds Krissy's best friend, Melissa Bucci: "If you had something negative to say about Kristen, you didn't know her."
Aware, perhaps, of the mean-spirited speculation, Kristen's colleagues offered their support to the Taylors, who, still recovering from the "devastating blow"—as Joelle, a secretary, described it—went into seclusion in Pembroke Pines. (Joining her parents was Niki, 20, who lives nearby with husband Matt Martinez, 25, a coach of the Miami Hooters arena-football team, and their 7-month-old twins, Jake and Hunter.) Rod Stewart and Rachel Hunter, Garth Brooks and model Liv Tyler sent flowers, and fellow models Elle Macpherson and Naomi Campbell publicly expressed their sorrow.
In the days before she died, there were few, if any, signs that Taylor was in distress. She had spent the evening of July 1 with her family in Miami, accompanying Niki (who drove them in her own car) and their father to a Hooters game. Back home by midnight, she had talked to her mother about a conversation that had upset her a few days earlier. "She had had a confrontation with two girls," says George Dassinger, public relations rep for the Taylors. "A girl had said, 'Stay away from my guy.' And Krissy was like, 'Hey, what did I do?' But it bothered her a lot."
After kissing her mother goodnight, Taylor completed a ritual shared by her circle of friends—teenagers who, like Taylor, loved country music and dubbed themselves the Redneck Girls. Making calls to all their beepers, Taylor used a numerical code to send an affectionate message to each. And though Taylor had seen Bucci earlier that evening, she called to say goodnight to her. "The last thing we said," Bucci remembers, "is, 'I love you, talk to you tomorrow.' "
A 911 tape provided a chilling sense of the panicked moments after Niki, who had gone out after the game with husband Matt and returned to her parents' house just before 4:30 a.m to pick up her car keys, discovered Krissy lying facedown near the front door. After failing to revive her, Niki saw that her eyes were open, ran for her parents and then dialed 911. "She's not breathing...she has bruises on her face, and she's cold," Taylor frantically told the operator. With her parents screaming in the background, she shouted the operator's CPR instructions to Ken, who was trying desperately to revive his daughter. Said Niki to the operator: "Her chest is not rising. Nothing is happening. We need somebody here now!" The police finally arrived and continued CPR until an ambulance crew took over. Rushed to Memorial Hospital West, Taylor was pronounced dead at 5:39 a.m.
Police ruled out foul play, and a July 3 autopsy report (which found that the bruises resulted from Taylor's fall) said there was "no evidence of natural disease or significant injury." According to Taylor's physician Dr. William Bruno, "[Kristen] was not a sick person." Late last year a gastroenterologist had prescribed the muscle relaxant Donnatal for a minor stress-related intestinal problem. And on May 24, she had consulted Bruno for an upper-respiratory infection. He prescribed an antibiotic, a steroid and an autoinhaler that, he says, she later abandoned for Primatene Mist. "[Primatene] was something we knew she used, but she did not overuse it," explained Bruno, who said that Taylor, an occasional smoker, had suffered from reactive airway disease—a wheezing condition not unlike asthma.
Later, news reports would focus on the Primatene, a medication containing an adrenaline-like drug that stimulates the heart as well as the lungs. According to manufacturer Whitehall-Robins Healthcare (which tested inhalers from the same batch as Taylor's and found no contaminants), Primatene has been suspected as a factor in only three deaths since the 1970s. "One of those was a cocaine user, and the exact cause of the other two could not be determined," says company spokeswoman Carol Dornbush.
While he stipulates that he is not familiar with Taylor's case, Dr. Richard Conti, chief of cardiology at the University of Florida College of Medicine, notes that bronchodilators may be risky for patients with undiagnosed heart problems. "A person could have a little viral infection, a cold, that could also affect the heart. In a few instances, [they develop] what's known as viral myocarditis. Under those circumstances, a heart can be irritable on its own. But if you give it a drug that's known to make the heart a little more irritable, it could do something fatal. Who knows?"
The idea that she may have used the drug as an intoxicant, doctors say, is absurd. "People who use it may get a little tremulous, but I don't think most like that sensation," says Jeffrey Wolkowicz, a pulmonary critical-care specialist at Cleveland Clinic Florida.
In any case, the toxicology report is unlikely even to confirm that Taylor (who was seen using Primatene that night) used the drug before she died. Broward County chief medical examiner Joshua Perper notes that, since adrenaline is a substance that occurs naturally and was used in the resuscitation process, its presence will prove little. Says Dr. Bruno: "It's going to be very difficult to put a real reason for her death."
And as friends tell it, Taylor had every reason to want to live. She was the baby in a family held together by love and loyalty. When Kristen, their third, was born in Miami on May 15, 1978, Barbara Taylor was a homemaker and her husband, Ken, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper. In 1987 they moved to a comfortable ranch house with a pool in Pembroke Pines. Neighbors were always on hand, and friends remember the Taylors and their daughters sitting in the kitchen, talking over a pan of brownies. "They were the Cleavers," says Bucci.
Preserving their family life became a challenge, though, when second daughter Niki began to model at 13. By the time she was 16, she had signed a multimillion-dollar contract with L'Oréal and become a Vogue cover girl. Determined not to let her disappear into the fashion demimonde, the Taylors quit their jobs, hired a team to manage Niki and took turns accompanying her around the world. "My mom's always on top of things," Niki told PEOPLE in 1991. "She's always calling [editors] asking who's the photographer, what are the clothes?"
Worried that Krissy and Joelle would feel left out, the Taylors arranged to bring them to a local photo shoot. "We had them go through makeup and have [their photos taken] to give them a feeling for what Niki was doing," Barbara told PEOPLE. Though Joelle "hated it," she said, "Krissy thought it was fun."
Unlike Niki, Krissy, then 10, was quite shy. After taking a few modeling jobs, she quit for three years. Then, inspired perhaps by the success of the sister she admired, she agreed in 1990 to appear with Niki on the cover of Seventeen. "She was a sweet little girl who would come to Niki's shoots. They were practically like twins," the magazine's model editor, Donna Rubinstein, recalls.
Suddenly Krissy's career took off nearly as fast as her sister's. By the time she was 16, she had done runway modeling and appeared in Elk, Vogue, Italian Glamour and YM, as well as Seventeen. In 1993 she chose not to return to Cooper City High School for her sophomore year and entered a home-schooling program that allowed more time for work. (She was a senior when she died.) Even so, she went to the last prom with then boyfriend Joey Charles, and she spent her free time rollerskating, jet-skiing or line-dancing with the Redneck Girls. She turned down jobs overseas, and after assignments in Manhattan, says Tricia Izzard, "she'd stay at the hotel and call me up, and we'd talk for hours."
Both Taylors kept a close eye on Krissy. She never traveled without a chaperone, and Barbara or Ken accompanied her on shoots. "I know Barbara has been criticized for being a stage mom," says Rubinstein, "but to me, this was the way the family showed they loved and cared about the girls."
The notion that Kristen was pushed by Barbara, says IMG Models vice-president Jan Planit, who signed her in 1993, "is absurd. She only did the assignments she liked." Adds George Dassinger, the Taylors' publicist: "If an assignment wasn't to her liking, she'd just laugh and say, 'I've got plans with my friends.' "
According to Michael Gross, author of this year's Model: The Ugly Business of Beautiful Women, the Taylors were the exceptions to the rule that girls lose their sense of self, at the very least, when they go into modeling. "Barbara is the best kind of parent in modeling," he says. "Krissy and Niki don't live in that world. They visit—they clock in, they clock out."
Despite her professionalism on the job, Taylor wasn't committed to a career in modeling, says Rubinstein. "She thought it was fun and exciting, but it wasn't as important to her as it was to Niki." Unlike her competitors, she never fretted about what she ate. Friends say the theory that Taylor used an inhaler to speed up her metabolism and, perhaps, lose weight, is ludicrous. Comfortable with her curvaceous body, she sometimes seemed to live on fatty fast foods. "She always ordered chicken fingers, cheese fries and hash browns," says friend Bobbie Geist, 18. As for her plans for the future, "she didn't know who she was going to marry," laughs Bucci, "but she was going to get married. She wanted to be a housewife."
Although she wasn't romantically involved when she died, Taylor was, in fact, surrounded by love. Three weeks after her death, messages from the Redneck Girls are still coming in on her beeper: In code, they say, "Thinking of you" and "Goodnight, I love you." Says close friend T.J. Frasor, 20: "I still beep her every morning and every night."
For Taylor's family, the pain—and the memories—are still fresh, but they take comfort in knowing that Krissy brought joy to so many lives. It is Barbara Taylor who carries her beeper now, and who picks up the affectionate messages. Says Barbara: "Her physical beauty captured everyone's eye, but her inner beauty is what we will remember."

After a rough stretch, the Amarillo Sox will at least carry the momentum from a victory into the Fourth of July.
The Sox (17-28) avoided a sweep at Wichita with a victory Wednesday night, so they won't carry a losing streak into their game at 7:05 p.m. today against the Laredo Lemurs at Amarillo National Bank Sox Stadium.
The Sox, with a 5-3 win over the Wingnuts, broke a four-game losing streak that began last weekend at home.
During the last three games of the losing streak (two of which were against Wichita), the Sox were outscored by a 40-16 margin, giving up double-digit run totals in each game. But that came to an end when they sent their best starter Matt Larkins to the mound in the final game against Wichita, even though Larkins didn't pick up the win.
Amarillo showed some grit in avoiding the sweep, as the Sox fell behind 3-0 after four innings. They scored twice in the seventh and three times in the eighth to take the lead for good, as Cory Patton had key base hits to drive in runs on both innings.
After opening the three-game series against Laredo, the Sox will have a traditional Fourth of July fireworks show following tonight's game. The series will conclude at 6:05 p.m. Sunday with free admission for all spectators.

Tiger Returns to Pebble Beach
Tiger Woods is playing again in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. The $6.4 million PGA Tour event, fondly called the "Crosby Clambake" after its late founder, Bing Crosby, starts Thursday on California's Monterey Peninsula.
As per tradition, the tournament will use multiple courses. The sites include Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill and the South course at Monterey Peninsula Country Club, which in 2010 replaced Poppy Hills in the rotation.
Woods will be paired with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo in the pro-am portion of the 72-hole tournament for the first three rounds; each of the above courses will be played by the two-person pro-am teams over the initial 54 holes, with the low teams making Sunday's cut at Pebble Beach.
Last year's pro-am winners, D.A. Points - who also won the tournament by two strokes over fellow pro Hunter Mahan - and actor-comedian Bill Murray will return to defend their title.
Murray didn't initially respond to Points' call to confirm a reprise of last year's successful tournament. After Points followed up with a text message, Murray - who has played in the event for years - answered, "Gee, I didn't think you'd be so emotional. Of course we're playing together. I didn't think there was a chance we weren't."
Woods said he's excited to be playing with Romo, a natural athlete who carries a near-scratch handicap. "He's been calling me quite a bit, sending me video of his golf swing, 'What can I do, what can I do?' " Woods told reporters Tuesday. "He's competitive and he's been grinding hard. It's been cool to see.
"He's one of those gifted athletes that whatever he picks up, he can do," Woods added. "He understands how to play and on top of that he can really move the ball."
Woods, who ranks second behind Jack Nicklaus on the all-time list with 14 major titles, has finally overcome the physical issues that plagued him for the past two years. His improved health showed when he won the limited-field Chevron World Challenge at Sherwood Country Club in early December. And just last month he finished two strokes behind winner Robert Rock in the European Tour's Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship.
The secret to his improved play is that instead of spending hours rehabbing difficult leg injuries he's been able to do golf-specific exercises. "I've been able to train again," Woods said. "Rehabbing and training are two totally different scenarios. I've been rehabbing pretty much the entire last couple of years, and I haven't been able to train. I've made huge progress there, hence I'm able to so the things (instructor) Sean (Foley) wants me to do with my golf swing."
Woods has observed a noticeable improvement since playing in last October's Frys.com Open, where he finished tied for 30th at 7-under 277. "For a long time there, there was always some kind of limited ball counts or I had to get back to treatment, I had to do icing . . . all those monotonous things just to tee it up and be able to do it again the next day," he said.
"That's no longer the case. That's one of the reasons I've made such huge progress since the Frys. My body's feeling explosive. Consequently, I'm hitting the ball farther."
Woods, now 36, recognizes that he's not as young as when he took the golf world by storm in the mid-1990s. "Yeah, there's no doubt,'' he said of the aging process. "It is what it is. I don't recover quite as well. I know that I'm sore quite often, just about every day when I'm playing with my kids.
"They're not very tall yet, and bending down there and playing with them and building things, that's pretty low to the ground. So I do get sore. I don't ever remember being like that.
"I appreciate being healthy more," he added. "When we're all younger, we feel more bulletproof or invulnerable, in a sense, because we heal so much faster. That's no longer the case. The more you age, the longer it takes to heal, so you try not to get hurt. But there are also ways of training. I'm training way better now than I did then."
He also understands that virtually all players today are fitter than when he started on the PGA Tour. "When I first came out here, I was the only guy in the gym . . . nobody else," he said. "Then it was Vijay (Singh). Now, everybody's in the gym. Everybody has their own personal trainer who travels with them or they have a program that they follow.
"The game is way more athletic. We're getting guys who grew up doing other sports who are transitioning to golf. One day we're going to get a guy who's like a Bo Jackson or Michael Jordan, they'll be that explosive and that good, but decide to play golf.
"We have a pretty darned good athlete out here in D.J. (Dustin Johnson) who can dunk the ball," Woods added. "But what happens when you get one of those truly superior athletes who decides to play golf, devote himself and has the mental aspects and acuity to play. That's when it's going to be cool to see.
"I'll be shrimping it down the fairway doing it a different way. I'll be the Corey Pavin of my generation," he joked. "But the cool thing about the game is you can play it so many different ways. You don't have to be a power player. You can hit it shorter and still get the ball in the hole. You just have to be more efficient."
Tee times will be posted for the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am on Wednesday. For Woods' and the other starting times, visit http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/r478/tee-times.html.

Gunman's Rhapsody
Jennifer Braverman is a confident New Mexico med student who starts to crumble when her brother drowns himself in Seattle. Deserting her husband and driving to the site of the suicide, she rattles back and forth from the present to her lonely past, when she lived in a mud house and her hippie parents raised her in rags, calling her Juniper Tree Burning.
This lush first novel is part family drama, part fairy tale (Brothers Grimm, not Disney), with Jennie as a Cinderella who expects no happily-ever-afters as she recalls bizarre stories from her childhood. Entertaining but unflinching, Burning is a revelation of the ugliest acts we commit against ourselves and those who love us. And it's an unsentimental song of grief and forgiveness. (Simon & Schuster, $25)
Bottom Line: Blaze of glory
Edited by Andrew Carroll
Many a soldier's writings have wound up in museums and libraries, but Carroll, the founder of the all-volunteer Legacy Project, gathered 50,000 battlefield letters from America's attics and garages by asking for them via a Dear Abby column.
The nearly 200 letters here, spanning wars from Civil to Gulf, capture stench and honor, gore and affection in equal measure. The authors—"I have been in one of the hardes [sic] battles that ever was fought in the new world but I never want to get in another one," writes a Civil War soldier at Shiloh—prove with every spelling error that denial of eloquence makes that eloquence endure. No American reader can be unmoved. (Scribner, $28)
Bottom Line: A distinguished service
by Nick Hornby
Nick Hornby is under a lot of pressure. Can he be the next... Nick Hornby? Wisely he has chosen not to try. After his first novel, High Fidelity, became the standard field guide to charmingly disaffected boy-men looking for a little (but not too much) affection, he is giving infidelity a go, with a woman narrator: Katie Carr, a London mom and doctor married to a sneering columnist who is angry both professionally and as a hobby. She tumbles into a love-free affair and considers divorce.
But then boy meets guru. Carr's husband, David, made saintly by a gifted New Age faith healer called DJ GoodNews, invites the swami to move in—and starts giving away possessions and inviting the homeless to stay. Imagine a reworking of Pay It Forward, only this time it's intentionally funny: What do right-thinking, left-leaning folks like Katie do when the poor are no longer a topic to be frowned about over a nice Chardonnay but are stealing the milk money? This is a surprising novel of ideas that balances spiritual, political and familial questions, and it's an exciting departure for a quietly excellent writer. (Riverhead, $24.95)
Bottom Line: Good to the last page
by Laura Fraser
Discarded by her husband, San Francisco journalist Fraser takes off for Italy to figure out what went wrong. On the Italian island of Ischia she indulges in a casual fling with an older Frenchman, a professor who revels in her full figure and worldly ways. Although he's married, the pair hook up periodically in Milan, Los Angeles, London and Casablanca for sex, food and lofty conversation. There are lush meals and heavenly settings aplenty, but the descriptions in this hybrid memoir-travelogue are often perfunctory. And its second-person narration is a curious choice for such an intimate tale. (Pantheon, $22)
Bottom Line: A lukewarm affair
by Robert B. Parker
Beach book of the week
Actors from Henry Fonda to Kurt Russell have tried on Wyatt Earp's boots. Now Parker, on leave from his Spenser detective series, delivers a fresh take on the western marshal. Swapping his usual wisecracking for a Hemingway-like spareness, Parker makes Earp not necessarily likable—no bully but at his best behind a Colt .45. Amid political rivalrics in Tombstone, Earp invites trouble by shacking up with a liberated showgirl reminiscent of Spenser's squeeze Susan Silverman. The minimalist showdown at the O.K. Coral is almost anticlimactic, but Rhapsody's psychological portrait is a sure shot. (Putnam, $22.95)

Background: The resurgence of tuberculosis in the United States is largely linked to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic. Despite this link, the epidemiology of tuberculosis and preventive strategies in patients infected with HIV are not completely understood.
Objectives: To determine the incidence and predictors of tuberculosis in HIV-infected persons.
Design: Prospective, multicenter cohort study.
Setting: Community-based cohort of persons with and without HIV infection at centers in the eastern, midwestern, and western United States.
Participants: 1130 HIV-seropositive patients without AIDS who were followed for a median of 53 months (814 homosexual men, 261 injection drug users, and 55 women who had acquired HIV through heterosexual contact).
Measurements: Delayed hypersensitivity response to purified protein derivative (PPD) tuberculin and mumps antigen, CD4 T-lymphocyte counts, and frequency of tuberculosis.
Results: 31 HIV-seropositive patients developed tuberculosis (0.7 cases per 100 person-years [95% CI, 0.5 to 1.0]). The most important demographic risk factor was location (adjusted risk ratio for eastern compared with midwestern and western United States, 4.1 [CI, 2.0 to 8.4]). Tuberculosis occurred more frequently in persons with CD4 counts of less than 200 cells/mm3 (1.2 cases per 100 person-years [CI, 0.7 to 1.9]) than in those with higher counts (0.5 cases per 100 person-years [CI, 0.3 to 0.8]). The rate of tuberculosis was highest among tuberculin converters (5.4 cases per 100 person-years [CI, 1.1 to 15.7]), lower among patients who were PPD positive at first testing (4.5 cases per 100 person-years [CI, 1.6 to 9.7]), and lowest among patients who remained PPD negative (0.4 cases per 100 person-years [CI, 0.2 to 0.7]). Tuberculosis was not reported among persons who had PPD reactions of 1 to 4 mm. Compared with that of patients who tested positive for mumps, the risk for tuberculosis of those who tested negative was increased about sevenfold if they were PPD positive (P < 0.03) and fourfold if they were PPD negative (P < 0.02).
Conclusions: Incidence of tuberculosis was higher in the eastern United States, in patients with CD4 counts of less than 200 cells/mm3, and in PPD-positive patients. Analysis of tuberculin reaction size supports the current interpretive criteria of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nonreactivity to mumps antigen indicated increased risk for tuberculosis independent of PPD response.
The solid line represents patients whose last CD4 count before the diagnosis of tuberculosis was 200 cells/mm or more; the broken line represents patients whose count was less than 200 cells/mm . Sample sizes at baseline and at 12 and 24 months are shown in parentheses. Among patients with CD4 counts of 200 cells/mm or more, 7 persons died and the 12-month survival rate was 92%. Among patients with CD4 counts of less than 200 cells/mm , 10 persons died and the 12-month survival rate was 34%. This difference in mortality was significant ( = 0.02 by log-rank test).
Height of bars represents the rate of tuberculosis (in cases per 100 person-years) for each group. The numbers above the bars are the rates (in cases per 100 person-years), 95% CIs, and numbers of persons who received a diagnosis of tuberculosis/total number of persons.

Five Beverley workers were presented with grants from the Turner's Trust earlier this month at a ceremony at Beverly Guildhall.
The Turner's Trust is a charity set up in 1862 by local businessman Matthew Turner, to distribute payments to female domestic servants in the Beverley area.
Recipients must be of good character and employed doing domestic duties within 8 miles of the guildhall.
In 2013 the criteria was relaxed to allow men and women to apply to the trust and this year saw a man awarded a proportion of the money, the first such instance in the charity's 152 year history.
This year Mrs J Fawcett, Mrs V Fletcher, Mrs W H Holwell, Mr A G Johnstone and Miss E McGann were rewarded for their good character and loyalty, with grants ranging from £100-£400.
Beverley mayor, Cllr Martin Cox who gave out the grants, said: "The trust has broadened out its criteria a bit by allowing men to be awarded and I think that is an important way of modernising the process.
"People who do a good job deserve to be rewarded and they were all delighted that they had been put forward by their employers."
Since 1862 The Turner's Trust has awarded over £96,000 to deserving local people,

Detectives are searching for a suspect who reportedly stole "an undisclosed amount of narcotics" from Medicap Pharmacy in Altoona.
The unknown suspect entered the pharmacy, 28th Ave. S.W., and presented a note claiming he had a gun and demanding narcotics before escaping on foot headed southeast from the pharmacy around 4 p.m. Tuesday.
A couple hours earlier, a similar incident occurred at Ward Pharmacy in East Des Moines, near the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Altoona authorities believe the two incidents may be related and are comparing notes with officials in Des Moines, Altoona Detective Jason Ferguson said.
"We think it could be connected," Ferguson said.
The suspect is described as a male, 5'5″ tall, 125 pounds, between the age of 18 and 20. The man was clean-shaven with brown hair sticking out from under a black hooded sweatshirt with a light-colored design on the front, police said. With the help of Windsor Heights Police Department's canine unit, Altoona authorities searched the immediate area and are currently speaking with witnesses and checking surveillance footage from nearby businesses.
Police are asking that anyone with information related to the incident or the suspect contact Altoona police at 967.5132.

On August 6th, the rover Curiosity landed in the Gale Crater on Mars.
Jeff Barnes and Dan Tyler have been working for the past four years with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California on a computer model of the Martian atmosphere. They have been using the model to make adjustments to the spacecraft's control system for its landing on Mars. The model calculates and predicts Mars' likely weather conditions based on observations of atmospheric conditions.
The Mars Science Laboratory is a continuation of previous research the two scientists have done. In 2008, the Phoenix Mission landed in the north polar region of Mars and both scientists were also involved. In the past, Barnes has also been involved with the Viking mission and the Mars Pathfinder mission.
Jeff Barnes is a professor and Dan Tyler is a research associate professor in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.
