Experimenting With Storia
- Grades: 3–5
Have you noticed a new tab on the Scholastic Web site? It is labeled "Storia." Since I browse the site often, I was curious and checked it out. In short, Storia is a great application for parents to use with their children. It allows them to purchase books and then track their children's reading progress. Of course, I thought there had to be a way to utilize this free app in my classroom, too. I brainstormed a bit and found a couple ways to incorporate this new feature.
Classroom Uses for Storia
Picture Books: We know that a picture book can be used at any level to introduce a concept. We have all tried to do those Gumby-like flexibility moves in order to read a page while simultaneously showing the picture to the class to save time and maintain interest. One solution is to buy an electronic version of the book and then display it on the interactive whiteboard. Everyone can see, and you can save those neck stretches for the gym. An additional bonus is that the electronic version is easier for a teacher to keep track of.
Literature Circles: Literature circles or book clubs have great value in the classroom. Mary Blow discusses the ways she organizes middle school literature circles in her blog. I know when I have three or four novels being read at a time in the classroom, I simply cannot meet with each group every day. On a day that I can't meet with a book club, I let the students become the teachers of their group. They display the electronic version of the book on the interactive whiteboard and read it as a group. While on Storia, the book club has three objectives: (1) asking good questions, (2) reading fluently, and (3) building vocabulary.
Here is how I do it:
- Each student takes a turn playing the role of the designated teacher by reading a page and then asking a teacher-like question, such as: "Can you summarize what this page is about?" "Who can make a deep connection to this page?" "Any predictions as to what will happen next in the story?" or "What inferences can be made?"
- The designated teacher is in charge of all vocabulary words on a page. One cool feature of the electronic book is that a student can simply touch the word and a definition window pops up — complete with an audio pronunciation of the word. The designated teacher will stop anytime a student indicates he or she does not know a word. The designated teacher will ask for three predictions based on context clues. After the group makes their predictions, the students are allowed to use the definition window feature to discover the true definition.
Storia Benefits
Novelty: According to brain research, the brain likes novelty. Storia offers one more way to get students excited about reading.
Works With Today's Society: Some students have more electronic devices and video games than they do books in their home. In short, students would rather be plugged in. With this new app, they are allowed to be plugged in while learning.
Convenience: One of the best features is convenience. When a child is on vacation or waiting in a dentist office, they don't have to take a bunch of books to read. Simply bringing the family iPad or laptop gives them access to the entire family library.
I have only experimented with Storia for a week, and I am sure there are more ways to effectively use it in the classroom. What are some ways that you see this being a valuable classroom tool? Or, if you have already downloaded it, what are some ways you are currently using it?
Read every day!
2i2 is a trademark of Mr. Vasicek's class. Visit his classroom Web site at www.mrvasicek.com
I downloaded Storia, however forgot my password. I don't see an option to click to send me a way to retrieve it. Now, I cannot buy and download a book I wanted to get my son. Hope this is resolved soon. Also, my 2 children's names aren't appearing on their "bookshelf" however when I click on the bookshelf the right books are there from the original free books.
Thanks! We have just purchased iPads and I am searching for valuable ways to use it in class to engage students in meaningful learning rather than sheer entertainment. Great approaches to fun and higher order of thinking skills for all ages! Thanks again for your post!

According to CNN, Juicy Couture is suing Victoria's Secret for trademark infringement over their popular PINK line. Personally, Juicy and VS's Pink are about the same quality and the PINK things I own have outlasted any Juicy pieces with PINK being less than a fraction of the price so I'm sort of on VS's side with this one. This isn't the first lawsuit around PINK...they were sued last year by Phat Farm for trademark infringement and VS is currently suing Macy's in house brand, Pinkish for knocking them off.
NEW YORK (Associated Press) - Clothing company Juicy Couture Inc. has filed a trademark infringement lawsuit accusing rival Victoria's Secret of ripping off one of its marketing gimmicks by selling apparel in packages that look like sugary treats.I personally think it's all a little ridiculous but since PINK has permeated HS/College culture its not surprising that they'd be a target for lawsuits.
The suit, filed late Monday, claims that Victoria's Secret has been imitating its designs and logos for years and incorporating them into its "Pink" line of lounge wear.
Lawyers for Juicy laid out a long list of complaints about copying in the suit, saying the Pink line parroted everything from Juicy's coat of arms-style emblem (both include a dog, a crown and a capital letter), to its most common color scheme (pink), to its best-known design (pants with the brand name emblazoned suggestively across the backside).
The trademark infringement claim, however, focuses on how both companies package some of their products.
Juicy said it began using candy-themed packaging in 2006, and now sells "Sweet Shoppe" apparel in bundles that look like lollipops, bon bons and ice cream cones. The suit accuses Victoria's Secret, a unit of Limited Brands Inc., of using the same types of packaging starting a year later.
"In copying Juicy Couture's distinctive and unique trade dress, defendants crossed the line from design imitation to trade dress infringement," the lawsuit said.
Both clothing lines are aimed at women in their late teens and early twenties.
A Limited Brands spokeswoman said the company had no comment on the matter.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Manhattan just days after Victoria's Secret raised a complaint of its own about knockoffs.
The company sued department store giant Macy's in early April, accusing it of ripping off the Pink brand with imitation clothing marketed under the name "Pinkish."
Among other things, Victoria's Secret said that Macy's and clothing manufacturer Intertex Apparel had improperly mimicked its coat of arms (both have a crown and a big letter "P"), as well as its dog logo, and one of its top selling designs: sweat pants with the name "Pinkish" scrawled across the seat.
A spokesman for Macy's declined to comment on the suit.
There is yet another layer to the litigation; Phat Fashions LLC, a company founded by hip-hop legend Russell Simmons, sued Victoria's Secret over the Pink line in March, accusing it of using a logo that too closely resembles its own trademark on Phat Farm clothing. Both emblems feature the letter "P" on a shield, framed by laurel leafs.

- Candace Penner commented on Slim Shots
The goals I'm working toward:
- Need to lose 185 pounds
- Maintaining a healthy weight
I haven't felt comfortable with my weight since:
I became a mom. Started gaining really bad in 1993. Lost a lot when I worked at our local newspaper, but that is because I was eating so much less and working 12-16 hour days.
My favorite healthy food:
I love grilled veggies, Fugi apples, bananas, steamed veggies, lean turkey and skinless chicken . Whole grain stuff.
My guiltiest pleasure:
I've drank Diet Pepsi for years. But only for the caffeine. I guess veggie pizzas from Little Caesers or Pizza Hut, and sandwiches from Subway, would be my problem area.
I'm inspired to live a healthy life because:
My aunt died at 77. I plan on living till I'm 100. And that can't happen at my current weight of 315. I'm only 5"7. And 40 years old.
Healthy habits that work for me:
- Drink Dasani Water
- Bought a Wii for the balance board exercises!
- I bought a pair of Shape-Ups.
The accomplishments I'm most proud of:
- My son
- My time in the Navy

'Olympic events will drive British entries in the New York Marathon', say Sports Tours International
Sports Tours International, one of the UK's largest specialist sports travel companies, says the success of Team GB could have an immediate impact by inspiring Britons to run in the ING New York City Marathon.
"Team GB's success has been overwhelming and, like most of the country, we were glued to the Games," a spokesperson for the firm said. "But it is the commitment and sacrifices that these athletes have shown which is truly inspiring. Their efforts and professionalism have demonstrated what it takes to achieve your ultimate potential and we've seen a lot of interest from the public to start their own sporting journey by signing up to competitive events, including cycling, running and swimming."
For the New York Marathon Sports Tours International put together three different travel packages for those looking to attend. The first included flights, hotel accommodation, transfers and rep services, with an option to purchase entry for the race; the second was hotel only, but again with the option to purchase entry; and the last was a flight and entry only package.
"We've been taking runners to the New York Marathon for almost 40 years and can provide guaranteed entry into this amazing race," the spokesperson said. "Our travel package options mean we can help you create the New York experience you want. All you have to do is make sure you train properly for the race itself."
Among the most inspiring figures of the Olympic Games is 10,000m and 5,000m runner Mo Farah, who won the Gold in both events. Sports Tours International said his achievements could also lead people into taking on their first 5k or 10k race.
"Mo Farah is an inspiration and his triumph at London 2012 will go a long way towards raising the profile of running these distances. The great thing about 5k and 10k runs is that they are so accessible here in the UK. Coming up this year, we have the City of Salford 10k and 5k races, while next year we have, among others, the We Love Manchester 2013 10k in association with K-Swiss – another popular race for people of all abilities," the spokesperson said.
The closing date for the ING New York City Marathon has now passed but marathons are still taking place closer to home. Why not consider running the San Sebastian - http://www.sportstoursinternational.co.uk/

Unfortunately the apparently sharp definition between types of martial art makes is think that some techniques are better than others etc. One of the beauties of fighting is that it is so dynamic. Sometimes just grabbing someones balls really hard can incapacitate them. Although martial arts can help you to identify weak spots and also techniques which allow you to take advantage of the situation the best technique is the one that 'works' at the time. Although you can say some techniques are invariabily more likely to be effective, it depends who you are fighting, on what they expect etc. However, at higher levels martial artists generally see a bit of other martial arts either in their own martial art or through training to defend against them anyway.
For this reason, when fighting someone with a broader experience of fighting or martial arts it is harder to do something they don't expect, unless they train with restrictions (e.g. a kick to the knee/balls or an attack from behind is a good way to deal someone with no experience outside boxing).
Although we stand behind the 'aikido' front, each of our abilities in self defence is very different. Aikido provides a useful way to analyse combat and work through realistic self-defence situations. Whether it works or not very much depends on your physical ability (not particularly strength, but the ability of your body to react in an effective way).

The Depression, wars, spousal abuse, an estranged daughter and a recent stroke are hardships Loma Cannon has overcome in her life and experiences that have shaped her into the person she is today.
Cannon, 87, is writing a book on her life called, "This Ole House." She takes readers through different rooms and corridors of Cannons' life to get to the stage she now lives in called "the sun porch," or place where she is comfortable.
Cannon's first "corridor" in her book is entitled "Learning," and it's about the time she spent her grandma's farm in Mineral County. "That's really the place where I got a lot of my basic learning and enthusiasm, and appreciation of life. ... Living off the farm ... you'd have to work to get what you want - or you had to make it or you didn't have it," Cannon said. During the Depression, unlike so many in the United States, her father, Lowell Cannon, had a job. "Lowell built bridges in the '20s but later was called to the ministry where he finished out his life," said Annette Sovastion, Loma's daughter. His job took him all up and down the coast and kept him away from home for long periods of time when Loma Cannon was younger. After World War II started, he was home, which was strange in those times. Cannon thought it only fair her father be home now though since he had been gone for so long.Cannon lived through some of the hardest time in America's history, but for her, some of the worst times happened in her marriage. "He would just blow his stack. He would rant and rave, then he would get on one subject like his car is broken and he can't fix it, ..." Cannon said. "He would repeat sentences over and over so fast and loud he would foam at the mouth. ... He would bang doors, kick furniture - and things were just getting worse." In October 1971, Cannon got the courage to divorce her husband after 30 years of trying to make it work.

Loma Cannon, top, sorts through her photo albums filled with newspaper clippings and photographs.
Cannon is a storyteller. She loves sharing what she knows. She has been through a lot, but her attitude still remains positive.
Cannon's wedding picture.
After she left her husband, she had to start her life over. She had no income or experience, and she had two daughters. In her book, she calls the room on her marriage "Thirty Years in the Wilderness."
"It literally took me 30 years to find out that I was right and what I did was right and not to be ashamed for what you know is right," Cannon said. Cannon ended up working for the State Department of Human Services for 14 years, and after she retired in 1985, she turned her home into a daycare center until 2007.
Cannon is a storyteller. She loves sharing what she knows. She is has been through a lot, but her attitude still remains positive.
Three years ago around Christmas, Cannon had a horrible accident that almost killed her - and for a few hours, the hospital staff members were unsure if she was going to make it because of a large loss of blood. She fell down her daughter's stairs to the basement, or "flew and landed," as she likes to say. Cannon suffered multiple injuries. She broke her cheek, nose, teeth, jaw, two ribs and an arm. She hit the floor head first and suffered major injuries to the back of her head from impact. "When the hospital needed to put something in my throat they had to break my larynx. It's the reason I talk funny. I had to learn how to talk all over," Cannon said.
She also has other, much more positive adventures to talk about - such as travel. "Loma has traveled extensively and has driven in all of the 50 states. She and her younger sister drove a camper through Canada to get to Alaska, where they drove all the way to the Arctic Circle," Sovastion said. Cannon's multiple trips to Alaska with her sister are some of her favorite memories, and she loves to discuss the place where "it is just you and Mother Nature."One thing in Cannon's life that is very dear to her is her family and lineage. During her search for information on a family history project, she found her family cemetery in Mineral County, which was grown over. Cannon raised money to get it cleaned up. One of her biggest regrets is her estrangement from her oldest daughter, and in her book this room is called a "Total Mess." In 1999, her daughter Sharon was having marital problems, and Cannon took her and her two kids into her home. For them all to stay there, they needed to add on to the home. Cannon spent $50,000 for the addition, and sold the house to Sharon. For Cannon, this is one of her biggest regrets in her life. After selling the home to her daughter, Cannon eventually had to leave the home in 2002 because Sharon was constantly blaming her for things and fighting.
"I am still paying for things I don't have. There is nothing I can do about it," Cannon said. Another financial burden Cannon has been dealing with recently is her health. The first week of March, she suffered a minor stroke. "When I am walking, my brain don't communicate right, so I have to say walk, lift, walk, lift," Cannon said. Cannon has a Facebook account to keep in contact with her family and friends. She has found kids she used to take care of and former co-workers online. It is something she spends her time with each day. "My mother was a very active parent and always had many friends," Sovastion said. Cannon has lived an interesting life, but all the hardships and triumphs made her who she is today - and she is satisfied with that. "Being happy doesn't mean you have everything, but that you're happy with everything you have," Cannon said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Democrats have decided not to challenge U.S. Rep. Richard Hanna in this year's 22nd Congressional District election, conceding the seat to Republicans.
But Hanna, R-Barneveld, will have to battle two challengers from within the GOP in order to secure his third term in Congress.
State Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney, R-New Hartford, and Tea Party activist Michael Kicinski, of Earlville, filed petitions with the state Board of Elections last week before a deadline for federal primary candidates.
If their petitions are found valid, a three-way Republican primary would be held June 24 in the 22nd Congressional District.
None of the candidates filed petitions to run on the Conservative Party line. Hanna received an endorsement from the Independence Party, and will appear on the ballot line unless his petitions are rejected.
Tenney, one of the most conservative members of the state Assembly, passed up a chance to appear on the Conservative Party line in the November congressional election.
By doing so, Tenney left herself a backup option if she loses the Republican primary. Tenney would still be able to run for re-election to her Assembly seat because she would not appear on a federal election ballot.
In an interview with syracuse.com, Tenney said she did not submit petitions for the Conservative Party ballot because she was not certain that her campaign had obtained enough valid signatures.
National Republican officials, who usually remain neutral in GOP primaries, took the unusual step Friday of supporting Hanna in the 22nd District race.
"Rep. Hanna is a valuable and respected member of the Republican majority in the House and we support him," National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Ian Prior said in an email.
The 22nd Congressional District includes all of Oneida, Madison, Cortland and Chenango counties, and part of Oswego, Herkimer, Broome and Tioga counties.

Man critical day after being shot
July 30, 2013
A five-year boyfriend-girlfriend relationship that ended over the weekend turned violent Monday night when the woman pulled out a handgun and fired several shots into the man's back in the parking......

Slick most women don't revert to violence. This woman had a lot of rage inside. It's bad enough she emptied her gun in him and shot him when he was down. But then to beat him with the empty gun? Makes you wonder what caused that amount of hate and rage.

It is so telling the amount of callousness we see in society today with respect to life. It tells of the desensitization of our populace to crime, violence and the sanctity of life. It tells of how we view violence. Violence is just another way of handling problems. How did we come to a point where it is okay to just gun down someone for an argument, no matter how difficult the argument may be?

Jenny's bird to warble in St John's centre
Published 28/11/2012 | 09:15
ATHEA singer songwriter Jenny Liston will perform songs from her debut album, I'm Your Bird, when she takes to the stage at St John's in Listowel on Tuesday next, December 4.
The Social Science graduate is currently living and working in Galway, but is relishing a return to Listowel, where her mum Kay is well known for her worth with the local youth centre.
Although Jenny has been gigging in Galway for a number of years, it's only since the launch of her album earlier this month that she has embarked on a tour. The 25-year-old's original songs feature tales about life's ups and downs, love, friends and family - influenced by early rock 'n' roll and folk, with a bit of Rockabilly thrown in for good measure.
While Jenny is well used to gigging in the pubs and clubs of Galway, the avid music fan says she is looking forward to performing in the intimate surrounds of St John's.
Jenny will be joined in Listowel by Micheal O'Connor on guitar, Jody Cram on drums and bass and Andrew Madel, also on bass. Tickets for the show can be bought at St John's on Tuesday night.

Need some help please - Is this possibly Candida?
I'd like to start off by saying that I am a 21 year old male with no past medical history. I am 6'2 and weigh around 220 pounds. I am only slightly overweight but not to the point where it would affect my health.
My journey begins 4 months ago on June 6th. I'm having a tough time pin pointing the cause of my problem, but I can express to you some patterns/habits that were occurring before it started. My diet was not great, but it was not as bad as a lot of people I know. I did start drinking more than I used to (wine every other night or so) from March up until this problem.
Before all this happened, I had been drinking hard liquor to cope with stress over a specific event. I went through a couple bottles of brandy in a couple weeks and had a pretty hard drinking session before this happened (half a bottle of brandy the night of June 5th, and 5 shots on the morning of June 6th with half a bottle of gin the night of June 6th, when this started).
Let me make it clear that this was not my regular drinking pattern, but I am not even sure if drinking is a factor as I also had sushi/Japanese food that day. So here's where the fun starts. I had never tried gin before so I bought some Seagram's extra dry gin. After about a few drinks I was doing ok, but further into my drinking I started feeling like I needed to catch my breath (keep in mind I have a high alcohol tolerance and this was not just another 'too much to drink' sensation).
It was more like a feeling that I needed to take in more air or was losing air and I would "sigh". Even though I was drunk, I was very shocked by this. I drank a little more and then stopped. Upon awaking the next day (June 6th), I experienced my main symptom that I still feel as I write this very post, a tickle in the throat.
It's not high up like a sore throat, but more in the air ways, like a teasing tickle. I went to the doctor who did an EKG and told me to come back for a lung x-ray if things didn't get better. At this point I had extreme anxiety, something I don't usually have, because I didn't know what was wrong with me. I would have to manually take a deep breath every 30 seconds, but it is much less now and the only symptom that has improved.
I returned for a chest x-ray which turned out to be negative and to my surprise, the doctor told me I must have some type of "GERD", and put me on prilosec. Now keep in mind I'm a collector of hot sauces, everything from cayenne to habanero and a big eater, I've never felt heartburn in my entire life. I took the prilosec, double dose as they recommended, with no results.
At this point my stomach was starting to shake/pulse, I had difficulty swallowing, a white/yellow coated tongue, constant tickle in the throat and diarrhea. I experienced, a lump in my throat, and still do. I started having strange sensations like I wasn't myself anymore. I started having panic attacks and break downs for the first time in my life, I was confused. When I told my GP this, she put me on Ativan, which did nothing but make me feel high.
I was sent to a pulmonologist for a lung workup, spirometer, and flow meter test, all came back negative. I was put on a short trial of clarinex for presumed allergies, which did nothing. I had an immunoglobin blood test for allergies which was negative and various other blood tests. I had a liver/gallbladder ultrasound which was negative.
At this point, I was sent on over to the gastroenterologist who ordered a barium swallow, it was negative. He told me that some of my symptoms sounded like "acid reflux", but others did not. I was feeling extremely fatigued and had brain fog. I developed little white particles like dust or flour in my stools which I still have consistently. I cycled through constipation and diarrhea, which still occurs. Or sometimes I'd have constipated diarrhea (a loose stool that is hard to pass).
I was told that I needed an endoscopy to rule out reflux or anything serious. The endoscopy was negative, but they found a super small sliding hiatal hernia about 3-4 cm that they said was too small to cause any problems (I even went to a naturopathic chiropracter who moves hernias and he could not feel it). They found no irritation or inflammation at all even though I was feeling it 24/7. I was put on Protonix twice a day with Zegerid at night, this did nothing but give me stomach aches.
I started reading up on LPR/GERD/Acid reflux etc and how people keep saying it's a "lifelong" condition. I educated myself about the fact that said allegation is a pharmaceutical hoax and that there are ways to permanently correct it without surgery, but as I researched I started to realize that I was dealing with something far different. Keep in mind throughout this time I was relatively abstinent from alcohol and cleaned up my diet considerably.
Around July 28th I started burping and still do, along with excessive flatulence. The gas is insane. The flatulence is very odorous and shoots out aggressively. If I'm with my gf, I'll end up holding it in and literally passing about 15-20 seconds of gas on the toilet when I can get to one. The burping occurs a lot after meals but it's pretty consistent throughout the day. I developed a trickling sound in my throat, like gas escaping upwards.
I started getting nasal congestion, especially in the mornings and around April 14th, I developed a sore throat that occurs usually when I lie down. This sore throat is more like a "scratchy/rough" throat and usually goes away almost completely when I sit up. I experience taste distortions such as extreme sour, salty, and spicy tastes.
All of these symptoms, including the shortness of breath (which has lessened a bit) are still here. I started experiencing self-perceived bad breath. I can smell an odor coming out of my mouth but my gf, family members, and doctors cannot. I've tried acupuncture, naturopathic medicine, homeopathic medicine, diet changes, supplements, etc. to no avail.
After I eat I get very tired/dizzy/intoxicated and often feel detached or high, even when I haven't even eaten that much. I often feel fatigued now with little to no energy. I experience mood swings as well with this and uncharacteristic behaviors/emotions. I feel like someone took my life and turned it upside down, I haven't been the same since June 6th and I'd really like my life back.
I've gone to an ENT a month or so back who performed a laryngoscope and said he saw nothing at all. He put it down to either a psychological factor or a thyroid problem, that's when I had my thyroid ultrasound, which turned out negative aside from a note saying I had "a lot of blood vessels" in my thyroid, which is supposedly nothing.
Over these past few weeks my symptoms have flared up extremely bad. My throat is raw all the time and extremely sore. I was sent to another ENT for a second opinion who did a second laryngoscope (this was 4 days ago) and I was told I had "extreme thrush with extreme irritation/redness/swelling". Even my tonsils are inflamed and have little white pieces of something on them (they called this "necrotic"). I also have some pretty heavy salivation with a lot of phlegm.
I really hate big pharma, but I am now on diflucan (an anti-fungal) and cefadroxil (an anti-biotic). Throat cultures were taken which I haven't gotten back yet. I've been extremely tired all the time. My gf who I've been talking to for 5-6 years online has finally come down to go to college nearby and although I try to act like nothing is wrong around here, I really do feel like my problem is ruining my time.
I don't feel like myself anymore, and I've even called some "prevention hotlines". This is so unlike me, as I never go to doctors nor do I obsess or think about my health at all when it comes to problems, but this has really affected me.
Keep in mind all the meds I listed (aside from the two I just mentioned that I started today) were only used for a short time and stopped. I know the dangers of taking too many pills from doctors and these symptoms of fatigue, tiredness, etc. are coming solely from my problem, I've never felt like this before.
I've tried taking Candidase and doing the alkaline diet, etc. nothing seems to work.
I'm not interested in buying a book or spending $70 for a bottle of pills or doing a detox/liver cleanse that costs money. I'm just looking for advice as to what you think this may be.
My current symptoms as they stand: constant tickle in the throat, white/yellow furry thick coated tongue, sour taste in mouth/taste distortion, fatigue, drowsiness, brain fog, depression, anxiety, constant burping/gas, sore throats when I lie down, shortness of breath, post-nasal drip, excess phlegm, excess salivation, extremely odorous gas and bowel movements, particles/powder in bowel movement, bowel irregularities such as diarrhea/constipation, a burning throat sometimes that can spread all the way up to the back of my neck near my head that is not heartburn and is unresponsive to antacids/h2 blockers/PPI's or traditional cures, bloating, lack of interest in doing what I used to do (played an online game called WoW for 5 years every day since its been out, haven't signed into it in 2 months due to my problem, that's saying a lot), depersonalization/derealization or a 'fuzzy' feeling, lack of libido/sex drive, nasal congestion, white material on tonsils (right tonsil is very swollen), lump in throat after swallowing food, sensation of 'food sticking' when I swallow it, and headaches (started a couple days ago and have stayed). I also experience a pressure valve/squeezing bubbles that rise when I lie down or sometimes when not lieing down. My stomach will expel gas without a burp and this is very audible, sometimes it will gurgle as well.
I know I'm forgetting a few probably but that's the most I can think of. This all kicked off around June 6th after trying gin for the first time which I thought may have been an allergic reaction, but how could it last this long and develop into all of this? I also want to add that after taking the anti-fungal, I feel completely sapped and drained.
I feel like my old self is dead, I want my life back and I'm too young to feel like this. I feel like an old man and nothing really seems to cheer me up anymore. Even when I do decide to drink, it's not as fun anymore and nothing seems to make me happy.
I dropped out of 2 college classes because I was too sick to go. I'm holding on to the two others but have missed many days due to my illness. I don't do the work and simply don't care anymore, all my focus is centered around my illness now and it's making me very apathetic and indifferent to everything else. Keep in mind that I am a straight A student that went from befriending his professors after class to not even caring enough to show up.
If you've read this far, I thank you. This is a plea for help, and I don't think this problem can last forever, it's just too miserable to be a permanent thing. My GP literally told me that she has "cancer patients" with less symptoms than I describe, and that I either need to go to a research clinic or seek therapy. The ENT whose supposed to be a "big shot" basically said "I'll take a shot at this but your best bet is Scrips at this point".
Can anyone pull me out of this abyss?

Rome Honor America Days Announces Plans For 2012
Rome, NY (WIBX) – This year's Honor America Days in Rome may be the best they've ever been.
Jacqueline Izzo, chairman of the committee, says this year's fireworks will have more pop, thanks to sponsorship from Berkshire Bank.
"It probably will be the largest show they've ever seen in Rome, at any event," Izzo said. "Last year, we had a large show. This year's is going to be even bigger, so we're really looking forward to that. I think for people that like fireworks, they're going to enjoy it very much."
Izzo also talked about this year's theme. Inspired by the days of disco, this year Rome will celebrate with a "Salute to the 70s." To assist with the theme, music will feature selections from the decade, along with t-shirts and bracelets adorned with the event's specially designed logo.
The parade's two grand marshals were also announced. The first is retired Chief Petty Officer, Sylvester Puccio, who recently earned the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Valor earlier this year. He joined the Navy in 1939, at the age of 18 and was stationed at Pearl Harbor when it was attacked on December 7, 1941.
The second is retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Ismael Ramos, who served in Korea and Vietnam is a highly decorated serviceman. Among his medals are the Purple Heart and United Nations Service medal. He joined the Army at age 17, but was wounded in Korea at age 18. He later served in Vietnam.
Ramos' friend, and Rome's mayor, Joseph Fusco recommended him as a grand marshal.
"Ismael is a good friend of mine," Fusco said. "He's a good man and he's served his country well. He should be honored."
More music will be added to this year's event, as the Symphony Syracuse will be joined by the Syracuse Pops Chorus. This is the first time the Honor America Days have had a live accompaniment to the band. Musical selections will include classics like "Star Spangled Banner" and "God Bless America the Beautiful," but also selections from the parade's 70s styled theme, including selections from "Shaft" and "A Fifth of Beethoven."
Also, for the first time, commemorative t-shirts and wristbands will be sold for the event. T-shirts cost $10. Wristbands are $3 each or two for $5.
This year's Honor America Days Parade is scheduled for July 28th and will march along James Street.
To get involved in this year's events, there are parade float applications available on the Rome Chamber of Commerce's website. The committee is also looking for more musical acts to perform throughout the day. his year's Honor America Days Parade is scheduled for July 28th and will make its way down James Street.

The Liberty Bell Award - Symbol of Law Day
Norman Otto Stockmeyer
Western Michigan University Thomas M. Cooley Law School
Michigan Bar Journal, Vol. 71, p. 20, January 1992
This article explores the history of the Liberty Bell Award. Many bar associations present Liberty Bell Awards as a part of Law Day celebrations on May 1 each year. The award honors persons who have contributed to a greater understanding of the American legal system or helped strenghten our system of justice. Few persons are aware of the origin of the award, however.
The Liberty Bell Award was conceived by Flint, Michigan attorney William P. Daniel and first awarded by the Young Lawyers Section of the State Bar of Michigan in 1962. The American Bar Association in 1964 formally endorsed the award for use by bar associations nationally. Since then the Liberty Bell Award has enhanced the observation of Law Day across the nation, and thousands of individuals have received recognition for extraordinary contributions to the American legal system.

Police say a man used a Taser stun gun during a fight at a home in the 1800 block of Greentree Road Tuesday evening.
No one was injured in the 8:52 p.m. incident, but Mounce said additional information was unavailable because both the victim and the witnesses �were very uncooperative with officers.�
Tasers, when carried with the intent to harm another, are against the law, Mounce said.

Muskegon Western Michigan Christian's Vanessa Eekhoff and Rachel Bruinsma scored a combined 14 points as the Warriors improved their one-point lead by 19 in the fourth quarter. WMC held Hudsonville Freedom Christian to one point in the second half.
"We just turned up the defense and scored a lot of points off of defense," Muskegon Western Michigan Christian coach Mike Henry said. "Defense led to easy offense."
Eekhoff had 15 points and nine rebounds, and Bruinsma had 12 points and 10 rebounds.
"Rachel Bruinsma has had several double-doubles," Henry said. "Her and Vanessa, who was only one rebound away, have had quite a few."
Defense played a key role for Freedom Christian as well.
"Throughout the game we played really solid defense for three quarters of the game," Hudsonville Freedom Christian coach Derek Foltice said. "That's what will keep us in the game going forward. I think we ran out of gas in the fourth, and ended up giving up too many offensive rebounds."
Freedom Christian's Rachel Slottke led the Falcons with nine points and seven rebounds.
"I was very proud of the way my girls played," Foltice said. "We hung with a really good team for three quarters. I think my girls are seeing what they can do when they dig in on defense. Hopefully this will give us a little confidence moving forward to the season."

From Ceramic Bagels to Sexy Best-Sellers, Richard Himmel Is the King of Kitsch
It is 7 a.m. in Chicago's superrich suburb of Northbrook. Inside one of the sprawling homes a writer in a striped caftan works behind a black-lacquered desk, his fingers tingling over the keys of an electric typewriter. "How do you say," puzzles Richard Himmel, "that someone was not trying to hide an erection?" The Mickey Mouse phone rings. "A client," Himmel sighs, then with hand clasped tightly over the mouthpiece, he confides, "I don't know how many houses I've done for her in the last 30 years—always in purple and yellow. The trick is to keep it from looking like an Easter egg."
That should be no problem for Himmel, who has deftly and triumphantly balanced two careers—he's Chicago's leading interior designer (with clients like Irv Kupcinet and Muhammad AM) and now a best-selling mystery writer. His latest, and most sophisticated, after 13 adventure pulps, is The Twenty-third Web, handled at Random House by Truman Capote's editor, no less. It is a thriller ostensibly about a young pro-Arab terrorist trying to undermine support for Israel by infiltrating the boardrooms—and bedrooms—of Chicago's Jewish elite. It's a bisexually tangled Web and has managed to offend quite a few Chicagoans, particularly those mentioned by name or insufficiently disguised. "In the end," smiles Himmel, "most of them were flattered, because I thought so highly of their sex lives." "Dick," says his longtime friend and literary agent Sterling Lord, "is a man who couldn't surprise me. He's a 56-year-old prodigy."
Born to the milieu he writes about (Himmel's father was a prosperous Chicago-based radio distributor), Himmel started out as a self-described "harassed intellectual." At the University of Chicago, he was editor of the Chicago Maroon in the golden days of President Robert Hutchins and philosopher Mortimer Adler. "Adler has the same terrible problem I do," says Himmel. "He's a scholar, but he wants to live like a rich Jewish entrepreneur."
Himmel studied philosophy for a time at his alma mater before World War II service as an Army buck private on Gen. George Patton's staff ("Can you imagine this effete fella working for Old Blood and Guts?" Dick marvels). Instead of returning to Plato and academe after the war, he decided to go to work for his sister Muriel Lubliner at her interior design store on the North Shore. Within months he was Chicago's and one of the country's most in-demand decorators.
"I'm really not an innovator," concedes Himmel, who designs everything from homes and restaurants to corporate jets and yachts. A classicist? Hardly. "I'm lousy on the Louies and worse on the Chinese," he admits, "but I'm damn good at getting on the bandwagon early. For example, I am the foremost bringer-inner of art deco in the country." Returning from Paris recently with a load of Lalique crystal, he unflinchingly paid an Air Canada freight bill of $19,000.
Himmel and Ellie, his wife of 31 years, share a taste for the eclectic. Their son John Maguire Himmel, named after the private eye hero of 11 Himmel paperbacks, and daughter Ellen are grown and have departed. But the Himmels' house, far from empty, is chockablock with modern art, French furniture and Chinese antiques. Even their fluffy white Pekinese, Seymour Irving, adds a decorator touch. "My kids said, 'Let's dye him red,' " to match a life-size cinnabar peke statue, recalls Himmel, "and I'm kind of sorry I never did."
Right now Himmel is polishing his next potboiler—this one set in Castro's Cuba. How does he come up with those sex scenes that are making him the Windy City's Irving Wallace and the terror of his Rolls-Royce set (he has two)? Himmel laughs: "The first lesson for a beginner is no matter what you make up, people have already done it."

SHENANDOAH JUNCTION - For the top-ranked Washington Patriots, Saturday night's Eastern Panhandle Athletic Conference matchup against the Jefferson Cougars was a necessary test.
After beaing Musselman 91-64 a night earlier, the Patriots were able to pick up where they left off, taking a 95-62 victory over Jefferson.
"This game was important to win for better positioning in the sectional tournament," said Patriots assistant coach Vic Holmes, who had filled in for head coach Don Bullett. "We had a physical, tough game against Musselman, and this was the hangover from that because this is the first time we had two tough games in a row.

"We may not have played as well, and Jefferson had to do with that, and we didn't have the legs like we wanted to. Butwe played well in the fourth quarter."
Washington kicked off the opening quarter with an 18-0 run before Mike Tennant hit a midrange jumper to put the Cougars on the board.
"We got off to a bad start," Cougars coach Richard Lewis said. "The game plan wasn't to come out that flat, but offensively we just couldn't get into a rhythm or get quality looks."
Maleke Jones paced the first quarter with eight of his 20 points, including a pair of 3-pointers. Kendell Smith continued the scoring roll with 19 of his game-high 28 points in the first half, 12 coming in the second quarter. The final two points in the half resulted in a dunk by Smith, but he was charged with a technical foul because of excessive time on the rim, making the score 51-31 at halftime.
"We can hit you inside and hit you outside," Holmes said. "We can hit with all five players, and Maleke had 29 points Friday, but scored a quiet 20 points in this game.
"We depend on everybody and nobody."
Following the first-quarter struggle, Jefferson was able to settle down in the second quarter as Jalen Smith carried the Cougars, scoring 12 of his team-high 21 points.
"We were able to play the way we wanted to in the second quarter," Lewis said. "Our offense dictated their offense. When we went fast, they were able to get open shots and fast breaks."
Jefferson jumped out to an early advantage in the third quarter but then Dominique Newman was able to keep Washington's advantage at a comfortable 21 points with a trio of 3-point shots, including the last one being from 25 feet away.
"That's what the guards do," Smith said. "They shoot so defenses can get on them, so the forwards can take over inside. We're a team, and everybody is going to get theirs.
"That's how we work together."
Smith added 14 rebounds for a double-double. Newman finished with 25 points for the Patriots who remain undefeated at 12-0.
Jahlil Jenkins supplemented Jalen Smith's offensive performance with 15 points, including 11 in the second half. Jefferson is 8-5.

Pennsylvania State Police are investigating a stabbing at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in Lancaster.
Police say two people broke into a 19-year-old's dorm room, displayed knives and demanded money and drugs.
When the student tried to get away, one of them stabbed him in the hand, according to police.
Police say the student knows the attackers and the 17-year-old who allegedly stabbed the student is now in Lancaster County Prison.
The investigation by state police continues.

"Pretty much everyrone knew I was going to commit by the shirt," King said with a chuckle.
On Monday, shortly after receiving his scholarship offer, King told PurpleWildcats.com that he wanted to give further consideration to Northwestern, but he was close to a decision. As it turns out, King was showing his best poker face.
King had received heavy interest from Northwestern, but Fitzgerald had to review the lineman's ACT score first. When the results came in, the NU offer came. King knew he would be a Wildcat.
"As soon as they started recruiting me, I knew I wanted to go there, I had my mind set on Northwestern," King said.
King, a 6-foot-4, 250-pound lineman, also held offers from Toledo and Western Michigan. He joins Maine South (IL) quarterback Matthew Alviti in Northwestern's 2013 recruiting class.
Northwestern separated itself the first time King took a recruiting visit. He met with Fitzgerald and the NU coaching staff, plus received a tour of campus. The personal attention, compared to other mass Junior Days he attended, made him feel welcomed in Evanston.
"The first time I went (to Northwestern) and visited, it was just completely the opposite from all the other places I have been," King said.
King is excited to have his decision made, and ready to move on with his senior season as a Minooka Indian.
"It's a huge relief," he said. "It was a good process, very interesting, but I'm glad for it to be over. I'm kind of happy that it's over."
Now that King is a Wildcat, he is in need of a few purple shirts. He said: "I need to get some more now!"

It can read most mail formats and display it as a directory. So as I asked below do we need yet another web interface for the list?
