Decades after Alfred 'The Ferret' Nelson disappeared amid a bloody waterfront war, police renew investigation
- From: Herald Sun
- April 03, 2013
POLICE have launched a new probe into the 1971 disappearance of Melbourne waterfront war victim Alfred "The Ferret" Nelson.
Detectives intend questioning mafia hitman James Bazley about his possible role in the unsolved case.
They have already quizzed an associate of painter and docker Billy "The Texan'' Longley about whether Longley was involved in the suspected murder of Nelson.
Bazley and Longley were on one side in the bloody waterfront war and Nelson was on the other.
Longley yesterday denied playing any part in Nelson's disappearance and Bazley's wife Lillian yesterday said her husband was innocent.
Victoria Police cold case squad head Ron Iddles yesterday confirmed his unit was preparing a brief of evidence for the coroner on the Nelson case. Nelson, 47, went missing in 1971 during a battle between warring factions of the notorious painters and dockers union.
His body has never been found.
Longley, 87, was heavily involved in the 1970s waterfront wars that saw dozens murdered during a battle for control of the union.
He was released from jail in 1988, after serving 13 years for ordering the murder of union secretary Pat Shannon. Shannon, 45, was shot dead in the Druid's Hotel (now the Water Rat) in South Melbourne in 1973.
Bazley, 86, was released from jail in 2001 after serving 21 years for various crimes, including murdering drug couriers Douglas and Isabel Wilson in 1979 and conspiring to murder Griffith anti-drug campaigner Donald Mackay in 1977.
Australian Calabrian mafia boss Robert Trimbole recruited Bazley to kill Mr Mackay and the Wilsons.
Asked if the cold case squad would be questioning Bazley during its fresh look at the disappearance of Nelson, Det-Sen-Sgt Iddles said "Yes, more than likely.''
He said there had never been an inquest into Nelson's death, so the main purpose of the new probe was to prepare a brief of evidence so the coroner could finally hold one.
"But I can't rule out charges being laid even after all this time because in the process of talking to people about it - and because of new publicity about the case - someone might tell us exactly what happened and we would go from there,'' Sen-Sgt Iddles said.
"We have already spoken to someone associated with Billy Longley, someone who is a close associate.
"Billy Longley is into his 80s now, he's very sick and that is why we didn't approach him directly.
"He was quite happy to talk about some of the issues around the painters and dockers war, but the interview didn't progress the Nelson case any further.''
Sen-Sgt Iddles said he had a lot to do with painters and dockers in the early days of his career in the force.
"I was stationed in Collingwood from 1973 to 1980 and there were a lot of painters and dockers hotels we were called to,'' he said.
"So I got around and met the main union identities.
"From what I know of the Nelson case, four men came to his house and abducted him and took him away from the house and he has never been seen since.
"I think his disappearance related to an ongoing dispute within the painters and dockers.
``There were two main factions. Nelson was in one and maybe the other faction was involved in his disappearance.''
Nelson was a close associate of Longley's rival, union secretary Pat Shannon, and was the painters and dockers welfare officer up until he went missing.
He disappeared from his home in Langridge St, Collingwood on December 7, 1971, three days before a union election in which Longley was standing for the presidency of the painters and dockers, with Bazley on his ticket as vigilance officer - a fancy union name for an enforcer.
A police diver found a car stuck in mud at the bottom of the river Yarra at 21 South Wharf, Melbourne, just after noon on January 24, 1972. He was unable to open any of the doors or see inside it.
He was able to remove the registration plates and senior police were called to the scene when a rego check revealed the submerged car was Nelson's almost new, white, automatic, two-door Valiant Charger.
A crane was brought from South Melbourne to hoist the car from the river bed.
The media had arrived in droves by this stage and there was high excitment as police had earlier said they believed the body of the missing Nelson might be in the car boot.
When the car was lowered to land there was a key sticking out of the boot lock, but police still needed to use a crowbar to open it.
When the boot was opened police found only some old hessian bags and a baby's car chair - which Nelson used to sit his silky-haired terrier in while driving.
Police told reporters at the scene the car was in drive when it surfaced, suggesting the gear selector had been put in drive and then the car steered towards the wharf edge.
Homicide squad chief Kevin Carton said it was possible, but not probable, that Nelson's body had floated out through the open front windows of the car.
Police divers spent several days searching the Yarra, but failed to find any trace of Nelson's body.
A bomb blasted open the front door of Longley's home in Derham St, Port Melbourne, at 10.55pm the day after Nelson's car was found, but he wasn't home at the time. The force of the blast lifted the patio roof and blew holes in a brick wall.
Police who wanted to search the back of Longley's fortress-like home after the bombing were prevented from doing so for several hours due to the presence of Longley's vicious bull mastiff, but they did find shotgun blast marks on Longley's side gate, which was topped with razor blades.
Four days after Shannon supporter Nelson disappeared, Longley supporter Desmond ``Cossie'' Costello, 39, was shot in the face and killed - Costello was allegedly one of the men who abducted Nelson.
Costello's body was found lying face down in a ditch at the eastern end of Alexandra Parade, Collingwood, where the Eastern Freeway was being constructed.
The tit-for-tat killings in the painters and dockers war continued for years - a war that the Costigan Royal Commission later said had led to at least 40 people being murdered, cars and buildings being bombed and scores of unionists being ambushed, shot and wounded and bashed.
It was Longley who sparked the Costigan Royal Commission after he publicly revealed details about the waterfront war killings and rorts the union was involved in.
He claimed in an article published in The Bulletin magazine in 1980 that the union was corrupt and he made detailed allegations about organised crime on the waterfront.
Longley also claimed painter and docker heavy Joey Turner was involved in the death of Nelson and that they had argued over the proceeds of an armed robbery on an MSS security van.
"Because the heat was on, Joey Turner had given his share of the money to Nelson, who was acting as bagman,'' Longley told the Bulletin.
"It amounted to about $60,000.
"I know that a row broke out between Nelson and Turner because The Ferret pocketed some of the money.''
Longley's biography, published in 2005, touches on the death of Nelson.
When asked by his biographer, Rochelle Jackson, about rumours he was involved in Nelson's disappearance, Longley smiled and said: ``I read in the newspaper that he'd disappeared and hadn't been heard of. He was a good little bloke. We were quite good friends. I couldn't tell you what happened to him because I don't know.''
The Longley book claims a detective working on the docks was standing on a concrete ramp when a painter and docker walked past and shouted, ``Watch it, you're standing on The Ferret''.
The ramp was being built at the time Nelson disappeared in late 1971.
Another theory in 1971 was that Nelson's body was hidden in the bilge tank of the Somali-registered freighter
Hangchow, which was docked in Melbourne at the time he disappeared.
The ship sailed from Melbourne's South Wharf four hours after Nelson was last seen.
Acting on a tip-off, Victoria Police arranged for Hong Kong police to search the ship when it arrived in Hong Kong from Shanghai seven months after Nelson was reported missing.
No trace of Nelson was found.
There have also been persistent underworld rumours that Nelson was incinerated in a huge coal-burning furnace just 60 metres from the painters and dockers office in Lorimer St, South Melbourne.
Melbourne Herald reporter Alan ``Bluey'' Dearn questioned Shannon about his missing mate, Nelson, in May 1972.
Shannon told Dearn Nelson was well liked and that it was possible his disappearance had prompted some of his friends to seek revenge, but he claimed the reprisals against members of the Longley camp, including Longley's right-hand man, Bazley, being shot and wounded, were not sanctioned by the union.
"It would be natural for his friends to be annoyed, but if this is an explanation for the shootings, bashings, bombings and burnings, then I don't know about it,'' Shannon said.
"The union doesn't know either - it isn't a union affair.
"Of course we are tough.This is hard and dirty work we do.
"We aren't flower arrangers or window dressers.
"The candidates from both sides have many supporters who are hard guys.
"Among them could be some who could take it on themselves to get tough with supporters of the opposing group.''
Shannon was shot dead the next year.
Sun newspaper reporter Tom Prior interviewed Nelson's son Geoff two days after Shannon was murdered.
"Pat Shannon was bowled over the same way my Dad was bowled over, by the same people and for the same reason,'' Geoff Nelson told Prior.
"Pat was so busy running around trying to do the right thing he couldn't spare the time for precautions.
"Like my Dad, he paid the penalty.
"Dad was an easygoing guy. He'd talk to anyone, heck, he was the welfare officer, he arranged bail.
"So a couple of smarties grabbed him at home and that was that.
"He probably ended in the deep water at Victoria Dock, but wherever it was doesn't matter much really. He's dead all right and I've known it all along.
"Why did they bowl him over instead of someone else? That's easy, because he was easy.
"They wanted to let the rest of the painters and dockers know they meant business so they murdered someone.
"They weren't game to go for one of the hard guys - so they picked on my Dad.
"Dad might have been a goer in his youth, but when they picked him up he was just a union man trying to do the right thing by his fellow union members.
"Pat Shannon was all for respectability and for meeting all sorts of people on all levels.
"He was going to make the painters and dockers legitimate if it killed him - and it probably did.''
Longley yesterday told the Herald Sun he had nothing to do with the disappearance of Nelson, but could understand why police wanted to talk to him about the case.
"I knocked about in those times,'' he said.
"There were a lot of knockabouts in those times and there were a lot of deaths in those times.
"Melbourne is the homicide capital of Australia, there's no doubt about that. There's gang war after gang war.
"There were 28 deaths in the recent one and there was 40 to 60 in the one I was involved in.
"So as far as I am concerned it was a much more violent affair, the dock war, much more violent than the recent one.''
Longley said he believed Nelson had once tried to lure him into a situation where Longley's rival, Jack Twist, could shoot him so he had gone armed and prepared.
Twist had years earlier shot dead union heavy and standover man Freddy ``The Frog'' Harrison.
Longley believes Twist had a gun in each pocket as he walked up behind Longley on the day Nelson asked Longley to meet him in the mess room at Webb Dock in 1971.
"I got a message that the Ferret wanted to see me and I went to Webb Dock. I had a pistol with me, of course,'' Longley said yesterday.
"You had to in those times. It was part of the way you lived, carrying a pistol, because there was that many shoot-outs.
"It just behoved you to be armed.
"I walked into the mess room through swinging doors and the Ferret was sitting down towards the end of a a long table. I sat down opposite him and as I sat down I pulled out my pistol. I had it in my hand, more or less pointing his way.
"We were chatting away there and I heard the doors go.
"Those swing doors with the rubber running down the middle, they make a peculiar sound, a sound I would pick up on anyway because I was streetwise and I was on the alert for those sort of things as that's what keeps you alive.
"I turned around and it was Jack Twist and he had both hands in his pockets and he was pussyfooting, trying not to make a noise, but he had already made the noise with the door.
"The Ferret grew alarmed. He knew things were going to blow up very, very quickly.
"They would have blown up very quickly on my part because you live and die by the dictum get in first or if you don't get in first they will and that's the end of everything.
"Here I am, 87, and it has kept me alive all my life.
"The Ferret said `Bill, Bill, Bill, hang on, hang on' and he flew out of the seat and he ran up to Jack Twist and he put both arms around him, they were face to face.
"He said `come with me Jack, come outside I want to speak to you' and that's what happened.''
Longley said he believed Nelson had lured him to Webb Dock so Twist could attempt to kill him and it was only the presence of his gun that saved him.
"There is a saying for it, it's called the apple cucumber. It means put you in lumber,'' Longley said yesterday.
"Watch out for the apple cucumber means watch out, for instance, there might be a knock at your door one night and you will say `who's there' and you will hear somebody yell `it's Reg, your brother' but somebody could have a gun in his back and want me to open the door.
"That's how careful you had to be.
"I remember I would visit a mate of mine, Steve Nitties, and I would knock on the door and yell out `Bill here' and his wife would let me in and just around the corner, pointing a gun at your head, was Steve.
"That's the way you had to be. If you weren't that alert, bang, that's seven years bad luck. And I mean seven years bad luck, permanent bad luck.
"That might give you an idea of the way things were in those times.''
Longley said he had no idea whether his friend Desmond ``Cossie'' Costello had anything to do with the disappearance of Nelson..
"I don't know. You don't broadcast those things if you do them,'' Longley said.
"If he had anything to do with the disappearance of the Ferret he didn't tell me.''
Costello was shot dead four days after Nelson disappeared.
"I think he was killed because he was a friend of mine,'' Longley said yesterday.
Sen-Sgt Iddles is hoping the cold case squad's continuing probe into the Nelson case - and publicity in the Herald Sun about it - will bring in new information that could solve the 41-year-old mystery.
"I would appeal to anyone who does know anything about the disappearance of Nelson, even after all this time, to come forward,'' he said.
"We will follow up on all leads.''
Sen-Sgt Iddles urged people with information on the Nelson case to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

In his last meeting as a school board member, President Dr. Robert Hench started the meeting with what he called, "a clarification."
However, the waters only were muddied after the board went on to change school policy regarding athletics and drinking, while members traded barbs across the table.
Hench attempted to declare the vote to reinstate members of the high school field hockey team void by quoting state law that said a board needs a two-thirds majority to change policy. The board voted 5-3 last month to reinstate five field hockey players who were removed, according to school policy, for planning a party that involved alcohol.
Board members who voted for the reinstatement last month said they felt the current policy would only alienate students who might already have problems which had led to the drinking in the first place.
Hench also stated that the board's decision last month to direct the high school principal to reinstate the girls was improper because the board's manual requires it to direct the administration through the superintendent. "I believe that (reinstatement) was void and those girls were reinstated by mistake," he said.
Last month's proposal to change policy brought ill feelings from six soccer players who were dealt a season-long suspension last year for a similar transgression. Vic and Karen Lis, parents of Steven Lis, who graduated last year, wrote a letter to the board requesting that their son be reinstated retroactively.
Hench read the letter which stated that while the Lis' do not condone teen-age drinking, they do not support the current policy which could alienate kids who might already be at risk.
Superintendent David Hoover asked the board to proceed carefully. "They (administration) are enforcing a policy that has been in place a long time." He added that the board should remain consistent with policy until the committee that is exploring policy change comes back with recommendations.
Suzanne Dell made the motion last month to reinstate the field hockey players. She said she felt it is wrong for the board to police students for behavior off of school grounds. She defended her motions to change school policy. "It is not my job to support a policy that I do not agree with."
Dell then moved to reinstate the soccer players. The motion was seconded by Karen Anderson who apologized for her vote last year. "I think my vote last year was a mistake."
She expressed frustration at the current board. "Last year the leadership of the board has been lacking. We have not been working."
Hench looked down the table toward Anderson and said, "I take exception to that."
Anderson did not relent, telling the audience that the board leadership made it impossible to get work done. She cited the fact that a policy change up for consideration last year at this time was tabled and never brought to discussion again.
Dennis Fuller supported reinstating the soccer players. He was the only board member to publicly apologize to the players for kicking them off the team. "I don't think we have good policy," he said, adding, "the majority of our kids are good kids."
"I believe it is a mistake for the school board to trivialize or minimalize this policy," said Hench. He said he was aware that the suspension of the soccer players last year shut down other planned parties where alcohol would have been served. He again pointed out that the vote last month was not a two-thirds majority needed to change policy.
Anderson asked Hench why it was so convenient for him to bring up the law now, after he had years on the board. She noted the election to be held the next day.
Hench quipped, "I'm glad I don't live in a paranoid world."
The board voted 6-3 to reinstate the soccer players, with Hench, Jean Rice and Luther Burkholder dissenting.
West Perry senior and varsity soccer player Cody Smith, one of the players suspended last season, attended the meeting. He plays defense this year on the soccer team. He said he puts in at least 15 hours a week for practice and games.
Smith recalled hearing about the reinstatement of the field hockey players last month. "It made me feel that there was no consistency with the board," he said. He added that he was thankful for Fuller's apology. "It made me respect him more as a person."
After the decision, West Perry SADD adviser Dr. Michael Riley spoke to the board. "Your decision last month was a slap in the face of these students' work," he said.
Riley said the policy, of which student athletes were made aware, held certain boundaries. He accused the board of removing those boundaries. "You gave the impression that there is nothing wrong with teen-age drinking," he said.
Riley shared his experience with teen-age drinking. Choking back tears, he said, "My brother died in an automobile accident." He said the accident was alcohol related. "We buried him on my birthday 27 years ago."
Riley continued, "My goal is to prevent other parents from feeling this grief." He finished his statement noting that the current policy is too strict, and he admonished the board for not changing the policy sooner rather than making the temporary exceptions.

2. The Path of Magnetic Work
In referring to this Path, I have stated that Those Who find Their way on to this Path work with fohat, or with the essential energy of our solar system which differentiates into seven major types of energy. Our planet with its ruling Lord is an integral part of the life expression of a still greater Entity, the solar Logos, and it is with the astral energy incident to His cosmic nature that the Master has to work. He learns to direct the currents of this essential energy, and because of His past relation to the Earth, He is part of the directing agency for astral energy within the planetary ring-pass-not. I also said that many Masters Who have reached liberation upon the fifth ray find Their way to this Path, thus proving the statement that it is not the ray which determines decision. These fifth ray Masters (among many others, of course) will be working in a great second ray vortex of energy.
It must be pointed out that, in its original state, this pure astral energy, directed under law into our planetary life, is free from all that is at present associated with the astral plane: glamor and delusion, emotional fog and poisonous deceiving phenomena. These well-known aspects of the astral plane are all the creation of humanity down the ages and present, therefore, an increasingly difficult problem to all aspirants. The tormenting turmoil and chaos of the astral plane are due largely to three factors:
These three factors create great trouble; during the past crisis of the world war (1914-1945) it reached most serious proportions. The hierarchical crisis to which I have earlier referred was involved, and many Masters from the various Ashrams made a decision to work on this second Path in order to bring order out of chaos by pouring into the planetary astral plane pure astral energy, untainted by glamor and revelatory of pure love. They were experts in timing and in energy manipulation.
You will also note how three types of astral energy are therefore related:
These forces are symbolized to the manipulating Master by a triangle. In the Old Commentary it says:
This is but a rough translation of some very ancient phrases, and is perhaps less symbolic than it may appear. It is in connection with this Path that the work of the Triangles which I initiated is related; the function of these Triangles is in reality to facilitate the work of distributing the pure incoming love energy (expressing itself as light and as goodwill) into the Hierarchy and Humanity. This deeply esoteric purpose of the Triangles will not be understood by the general public, but some of you who read this will appreciate the opportunity to serve in this manner consciously. The Path of Magnetic Work takes the Master, first of all, to the Heart of the Sun, and from thence to the cosmic mental plane, passing through and pausing temporarily upon the cosmic astral plane. The above statement does not in reality refer to progress from point to point in an ordered sequence. It refers to high states of awareness and to a form of cosmic contact which is registered by the Master from the point at which He stands upon this second Path, for all the planes are interpenetrating. This has been somewhat easy to understand in connection with our seven planes, as the rarer substances could be visualized as interpenetrating the denser. It is not so easy to comprehend, however, when we pass out of the cosmic physical plane (in our imagination, needless to say) and enter those planes of which we know nothing and of whose composition and substance (if they are substantial, as we understand the term) we are totally ignorant; besides that, we are not in a position to ascertain the truth.
The method of the Master's work upon this Path is also not easily understood. It can be summed up in the following words which may bring some light via their united meaning (each phrase contributing an idea), if due reflection is brought to bear upon them:
These phrases may give some vague idea of a process, based on "reception, then direction, producing rejection and impact where the rejecting agency ordained."
Another aspect of the work done by the Master on the second Path is the drawing off of those phases of glamor which no longer have the power to deceive mankind. They are not allowed to accumulate or to remain upon the astral plane. They are therefore, through the magnetic power of the Master, withdrawn from our planetary life and are "occultly absorbed" by the Master; the substance of the glamor, purified and freed from all that conditioned it on the planetary astral plane, and with only the pure essence retained, sets the law in motion which draws this purified remainder into the cosmic astral plane.
Constantly, therefore, this great circulatory process goes on, demonstrating anew the essential synthesis underlying all life - human, planetary, systemic and cosmic; it reveals also that the Law of Attraction, the Law of Magnetic Work, and the cosmic Law of Synthesis are three aspects of one Law for which, as yet, we have no name.
It might be said that the Masters working on the second Path are working in relation to and in contact with certain great Lives Who work on the periphery of the constellation Libra, the Balances. This is due to the fact that Those Masters Who can work with magnetic energies, and with the three above Laws, have achieved a point of balance which makes Their work possible; it involves also a poised attention and directive power, permitting the inflow of energies from Libra which could not otherwise enter our planetary life at all. These Libran energies enter our solar system via the Heart of the Sun and are peculiarly amenable to magnetic attraction and distribution.
All these Paths gradually came into being when our planetary Logos created the Earth and started the involutionary process of creation, leading in due time but much later, to evolution. They are therefore, all of Them, Paths of Return. This second Path was one of the first to be used and (again quoting the Old Commentary) "the door once opening inward now opens outward and permits the exit of those who hold the key because they entered by that door in aeons long gone by."
All the Masters (and not only Those upon the fifth ray) receive careful training in the manipulation of energies, and hence the statement of the Master K.H. to His disciples that the occultist has to learn to master and control the forces and energies within himself; the disciple and the initiate work with hierarchical energies and with the forces of the kingdoms of nature in the three worlds; the Master receives instruction in the handling of the energies which are extra-planetary but within the solar ring-pass-not. Those Masters Whose decision it is to tread the second Path are taught the control and direction of systemic energies and of certain energies emanating from Libra and from one of the stars in the constellation of the Great Bear. In the more advanced stages of Their work, and when the Master is far more advanced than the word indicates, He works consciously upon the cosmic mental plane; His activities will then be concerned with the relation of the energies of the Great Bear to the Pleiades, and their dual relationship (a higher correspondence to atma-buddhi) to the solar system and only incidentally to our Earth. Great is the interlocking, the interdependence and the interpenetration!

Fund manager is plugging the cashflow gap while also convincing sceptics
Lindsay Whitelaw believes that he can end the cashflow crunch that blights small companies. First, though, the co-founder of the fund manager Artemis needs to convince people that his new venture, Urica, isn't a con.
Despite financial backing from the government and the RSA insurance group, Mr Whitelaw says that scepticism is the typical response when he explains how his company can help small businesses with slow-paying customers to get their hands on their cash almost as soon as they have filed an invoice.
"People think it's a scam," he admits. Not that he's regretting swapping the City for a

Questions include, but are not limited to: Is the perceived uncoupling of talent from fame in fact a particularly gendered phenomenon? Is it postfeminist? How do new delivery systems such as YouTube and older ones like celebrity magazines favor and foster the spectacle of female "train wreck" celebrity? What kinds of narratives about wealth and class do these female celebrities anchor and how do they uphold or challenge nationalized/regionalized archetypes of the "chav" or "white trash?" How do the scandals in which they so often figure differ from those of some male celebrities (as was amply demonstrated in 2007 when a comparative dignity and respectful distance was accorded by a variety of media outlets after Owen Wilson's suicide attempt)? What contemporary views about female sexuality are inscribed onto the bodies of these celebrities? What drives the fascination/repulsion for "bad" women/girls (Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Rosie O'Donnell, Amy Winehouse, Charlotte Church, Jade Goody) in today's celebrity culture and what are the historical precedents for this? Related and proximate topics including divadom, celebrity feuds, the "toxic" celebrity couple, and the potential reinforcement of age-old cultural prohibitions on attention-seeking as "unfeminine" will also factor in symposium discussions.
We are accepting a limited number of papers for this event. To propose a paper, please send a 300 word abstract and short biographical note by March 15 to both Professor Diane Negra (email@example.com) and Dr. Su Holmes (email@example.com) in the School of Film and Television Studies at UEA.

Here are some common side effects from treatment for soft tissue sarcoma and how to ease them. You may not have all of these. We've listed them in alphabetical order so you can find help when you need it.
Anemia (low red blood cell levels)/tiredness and fatigue
Tiredness is a common symptom and side effect from chemotherapy and radiation treatments. It is also a symptom of anemia, which is a low red blood cell count as noted from blood tests. Or it can be caused from a B12 vitamin or iron deficiency, which your doctor may also find in a blood test. Whatever the cause, you may feel only slightly tired or you may suffer from extreme fatigue.
Your doctor will take blood samples from you for blood tests throughout your treatment. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. If your body does not have this oxygen, you may feel tired. Decreased red blood cell counts can be caused by small amounts of blood loss, by chemotherapy, or radiation.
If your doctor tells you that you have anemia, take these actions to feel better:
Add mild exercise, such as walking, to your daily routine.
Balance activity with rest. Save your energy for important tasks.
Drink plenty of water. Dehydration adds to fatigue.
Take action to treat a poor appetite because eating improperly can make you tired.
Take short rests when you're tired. Avoid long naps during the day so that you can sleep well at night.
If your fatigue is severe or chronic, ask for help with routine tasks that can drain your energy, such as grocery shopping or housework. Some people reduce their hours at work.
Talk with your doctor about medications or treatments that may help manage your anemia.
Anxiety and depression
Many people may feel blue, anxious, or distressed after being told they have cancer. These feelings may continue or come back throughout treatment.
Taking these actions may ease your mental stress:
Talk with your family or friends.
Consider joining a cancer support group or finding a cancer "buddy" who can help you cope.
Ask your doctor about medications for depression and anxiety.
Appetite loss
Eating well during cancer treatment can help you maintain your strength, stay active, and lower your chances of infection. When you're being treated for cancer, a diet high in calories and protein is often best. The problem is that side effects of treatment can change the way food tastes to you or reduce your appetite. In addition, treatments that affect your throat may make it hard to eat.
Try these tips to stimulate your desire to eat:
If you can, eat foods high in protein several times a day. These foods include: milk, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, meat, fish, eggs, beans, peanut butter, and nuts. Protein helps build and repair tissue, and cancer and its treatments cause you to use more protein than usual. A nutritionist can help you learn what is best for you to eat and drink during your cancer treatment.
If you can, eat high calorie foods to help you maintain your weight, such as margarine or butter, sugar, honey, jams, jellies, cream cheese, dried fruit, gravies or sauces, mayonnaise, and salad dressing.
Get plenty of fluids to help control your body temperature and improve food elimination. In addition to water, apple juice, and other liquids, try these foods to increase fluids: gelatin, pudding, soups, Popsicles, and ice cream.
If your mouth is irritated, avoid foods that may cause more irritation. Foods that are acidic, such as vinegar, orange juice, and lemonade, or foods that can be chafing, such as crusty bread, may cause pain.
Eat small meals throughout the day instead of three large ones.
Keep snacks handy to eat when you are hungry.
Eat with friends or play your favorite music at mealtime to boost your appetite.
Eat your biggest meal in the morning. Many people getting treatment for cancer find this is when they have their biggest appetite.
If you can, increase your activity level. Doing so may stimulate your appetite.
On days you don't feel like eating at all, don't worry about it. Try again the next day. If you find your appetite doesn't improve in several days, talk with your doctor or nurse.
Bleeding or bruising
Throughout your treatment, your doctor will take small samples of your blood. One thing he or she is checking is your level of platelets. The blood cells help your blood clot. Chemotherapy can interfere with your body's ability to make platelets, which help stop bleeding when you get a cut or bruise. If your doctor tells you your platelet count is low, take these steps to minimize your risk of bleeding:
Check with your doctor before taking any prescription, over-the-counter, or herbal medications. Some, such as aspirin, may further increase your risk of bleeding.
Check with your doctor before drinking alcohol.
Only use a toothbrush with soft bristles.
Blow your nose gently to reduce your risk of nosebleeds.
Be especially careful not to cut yourself when using knives, scissors, clippers, or other sharp tools.
Be careful not to burn yourself when cooking or ironing.
Avoid contact sports.
Ask your doctor if you should avoid sexual activity.
Use an electric razor instead of a blade because it decreases your chance of cuts.
Constipation may include difficult or infrequent bowel movement. It can range from mildly uncomfortable to painful. This may be a side effect of chemotherapy or some pain medicines. Taking pain medications can lead to constipation, so it's wise to take these preventive actions. These same steps may give you relief if you are already constipated:
Drink plenty of fluids, especially water and prune juice.
Eat foods high in fiber, such as cereals, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
Take stool softeners or a laxative only as recommended by your doctor. There are many over-the-counter options available.
If you are taking pain medications containing narcotics, these may also cause constipation.
Diarrhea is loose or frequent bowel movements, or both. This may be a side effect of chemotherapy or radiation near your stomach. Diarrhea can lead to dehydration if you don't take these steps to manage it:
Avoid milk and milk products if these seem to make your diarrhea worse.
Avoid gas-producing vegetables, dried fruit, fiber cereals, seeds, popcorn, nuts, corn, and dried beans.
Eat low-residue, low-fiber foods, such as those included in the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast).
Drink more fluids, such as water and broth, to prevent dehydration.
Ask your doctor about medications that may help. Immodium is an over-the-counter medicine that is often recommended first.
Dryness or irritation of the skin
Red, dry, or itchy skin may be a side effect of radiation therapy. Here's what you can do for relief:
Protect your skin from sun exposure by covering it up and wearing sunscreen of at least 30 SPF (sun protection factor).
Ask your doctor or nurse what kind of lotion you can use to moisturize and soothe your skin. Don't use any lotion, soap, deodorant, sunblock, cologne, cosmetics, or powder on your skin within 2 hours after treatment because they may cause irritation.
Wear loose, soft clothing over the treated area. Cotton underwear can help prevent further irritation.
Don't scratch, rub, or scrub treated skin. After washing, gently blot dry.
Don't bandage skin with tape. If you must bandage it, use paper tape, and ask your nurse to help you place the dressings so that you can avoid irritation.
Don't apply heat or cold to the treated area. Bathe only with lukewarm water.
If you must shave the treated area, use only an electric shaver because it is less irritating to your skin. Don't use lotion before shaving. And don't use hair-removal products. Both can irritate your skin.
Keep your nails well trimmed and clean so you don't accidentally scratch yourself.
Hair loss
Losing your hair (called alopecia) can be upsetting because baldness is a visible reminder that you are being treated for soft tissue sarcoma. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause hair loss. Remember that your hair will probably grow back after treatment.
Try these coping tips:
Consider cutting your hair before treatment starts.
Think about getting a wig, hat, or scarf before your hair loss starts. That way, you can get a wig that matches your hair, and you'll be ready with head coverings, if you choose to use them.
Because your scalp may be more sensitive to temperature and sun, protect it with sunscreen and hats or scarves.
Your doctor will take blood samples from you for blood tests throughout your treatment. One thing he or she is checking for is your white blood cell count. Many types of chemotherapy can cause low white blood cell counts, as can the cancer itself. A low white blood cell count is called neutropenia. Without enough white blood cells, your body may not be able to fight infection.
If your doctor tells you that your white blood cell count is low, take these actions to reduce your risk of infection:
Wash your hands often, especially before eating and after going to the bathroom or touching animals.
Stay away from people who are sick with an illness you could catch, such as a cold or the flu.
Avoid crowds. If you must go out, choose a time when fewer people will be out, such as during the week or late at night.
Avoid children who have recently been given "live virus" vaccines as well as adults who may have received a live vaccine, such as the shingles shot.
Do not cut or tear your cuticles because even a small cut can become infected.
Take extra care when using knives, scissors, or other sharp objects.
Take good care of your teeth and gums.
Do not squeeze or scratch cuts or blemishes.
Take a warm bath, shower, or sponge bath every day. Do not use harsh bath products, like skin scrubs. Do not rub your skin too hard with washcloths or towels.
If you skin is dry or cracked, ask your doctor if lotion or oil will help.
Clean any cuts or scrapes right away. Wash them with soap and warm water, followed by an antiseptic. Continue to wash cuts and scrapes once a day until they heal.
Ask someone else to clean up litter boxes, animal waste, fish tanks, and bird cages.
Avoid standing water, such as bird baths, vases, and humidifiers.
Wear protective gloves when gardening or cleaning.
Do not get any immunizations, such as a flu shot, without asking your doctor first.
Do not eat raw or undercooked seafood, fish, meat, or eggs.
Use an electric razor instead of a blade to minimize your risk of cuts.
Call your doctor right away if you have any of these signs of infection: a temperature of 100.5°F (38°C) or higher; severe chills; a cough; pain; a burning sensation during urination; or any sores or redness.
Menopausal symptoms
Some types of chemotherapy can damage a woman's ovaries. Or they may cause menopausal symptoms in women who've not yet reached menopause. These symptoms include hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and weight changes. Periods may become irregular or may stop, and you may not be able to get pregnant. For some women, the loss of a menstrual period is permanent.
Try these tips for managing menopausal symptoms:
If needed, talk with your doctor about birth control before treatment begins.
Talk with your doctor about ways to manage menopausal symptoms, such as using lubricants for vaginal dryness. Also ask about how mild exercise and talking with a therapist can help you cope with mood swings or depression.
Report any unusual bleeding to your doctor.
Continue with regular pelvic exams.
Mouth sores (mucositis)
Some types of chemotherapy may cause mouth sores. These sores can hurt and make eating difficult.
To help prevent sores in your mouth, take these actions:
Brush your teeth after meals and before bedtime; floss every day if this is part of your normal routine and with your doctor's permission.
Keep your mouth and lips clean and moist.
Use sugar-free candies or gums to increase moisture in your mouth.
To ease the pain if you get sores in your mouth, take these actions:
Avoid alcohol and mouthwashes containing alcohol because they may irritate the sores.
Avoid hot, rough, or spicy foods because they may irritate the sores.
Avoid tobacco because it may irritate the sores. Smoking can also make you more susceptible to sores.
Ask your doctor about topical mouth medications and prescription mouthwashes.
Take over-the-counter pain medication, such as Tylenol (acetaminophen), if necessary and with your doctor's permission.
Call your doctor or nurse if your temperature reaches 100.5°F (38°C) or higher.
Nausea or vomiting
Nausea or vomiting as a result of chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer may range from barely noticeable to severe. It may help you to understand the different types of nausea:
Acute-onset nausea and vomiting. This occurs within a few minutes to several hours after chemotherapy. The worst episodes tend to be 5 to 6 hours after treatment, and the symptoms end within the first 24 hours.
Delayed-onset vomiting. This develops more than 24 hours after treatment.
Anticipatory nausea and vomiting. This is learned from previous experiences with vomiting. As you prepare for the next dose of chemotherapy, you may anticipate that nausea and vomiting will occur as it did previously, which triggers the actual reflex.
Breakthrough vomiting. This occurs despite treatment to prevent it. It requires additional treatment.
Refractory vomiting. This occurs after 1 or more chemotherapy treatments — essentially, you're no longer responding to antinausea treatments.
To prevent nausea, most of which can be prevented, take these actions:
Ask your doctor about getting a prescription medicine to control nausea and vomiting. Then, make sure you take it as directed. If you are vomiting and cannot take the medicine, call your doctor or nurse.
If you have bothersome nausea and vomiting even though you are taking your medicine, call your doctor or nurse. Your medicine can be changed.
To help ease nausea or vomiting if you have it, try these tips:
Try eating foods and drinking beverages that were easy to take or made you feel better when you've had the flu or were nauseated for other reasons. These might be bland foods, sour candy, pickles, dry crackers, ginger ale, flat soda, or others.
Do not eat fatty or fried foods, very spicy foods, or very sweet foods.
Eat room-temperature or cold foods. The smells from hot foods may make your nausea worse.
Ask your doctor or nurse if he or she can help you learn a relaxation exercise. This may make you feel less anxious and more in control, and decrease your nausea.
Ask your doctor or nurse about using acupressure bands on your wrists, which may help to decrease your nausea.
Numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in your hands or feet (peripheral neuropathy)
If you have numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hands and feet, you may have nerve damage called peripheral neuropathy. This can be a side effect of chemotherapy or a symptom of the cancer itself. Other signs of this problem are ringing in your ears or trouble feeling hot or cold. If you have side effects such as these, your doctor may adjust your dose. Or your doctor may prescribe medicine or some vitamins. You should also take these precautions to protect yourself:
Take extra care walking and moving so that you don't fall. Wear only well-fitting shoes.
Use warm, not hot, water for bathing to prevent burns. Consider using a shower chair or railing to improve your stability.
If your daily activities become too difficult, ask your doctor for a referral to an occupational therapist or a physical therapist. He or she can help teach you new ways of doing things so that you can stay as active as possible.
Take extra care when driving (you may have trouble feeling the gas and brake pedals). Ask friends and family to drive you places.
Pain might be from the tumor, from the surgery, from radiation, or from other treatments. Try these tips to ease pain:
Take your pain medications regularly; don't wait for your pain to become severe. (Take steps to avoid constipation, a common side effect of pain medications.)
Change your activity level. See if you feel better if you rest more or move around more — either may help.
Distract yourself with music, funny videos, or computer games.
Use heat, cold, relaxation techniques (like yoga or meditation), or guided imagery exercises. Ask your doctor or nurse where you can learn more about these.
Swelling in your arm or leg (lymphedema)
If doctors remove your lymph nodes during surgery, you may have swelling in your arms or legs, called lymphedema, on the side where you had surgery. Lymphedema may occur right after surgery or it may happen later. It is caused when excess lymph collects in tissue.
Here's what you can do to reduce your risk or to improve symptoms of lymphedema:
Keep your arm or leg raised above the level of your heart, when possible.
Clean the skin of your arm or leg daily and use moisturizing lotion.
Ask your doctor to recommend supportive stockings.
Don't have your blood pressure taken on the affected arm.
Do not use elastic bandages with tight bands.
Do not sit in 1 position for more than 30 minutes.
Watch for signs of infection, such as redness, pain, heat, swelling, and fever. Call the doctor immediately if any of these signs or symptoms appears.
Do your prescribed exercises regularly.
Keep regular follow-up appointments with your doctor.
Thinking and remembering problems
You may have mild problems with concentration and memory during and after chemotherapy. Being tired can make this worse.
Taking these actions may help:
Make lists and write down important information.
Use other tools to help organize your life, such as calendars, pill dispensers, or alarm clocks.

Boyd First Mattress Maker to Carry SSA Safety and Environmental Seal
Posted on August 20, 2010 by
ST. LOUIS--Boyd Specialty Sleep has adopted the new safety and environmental standards created by the Specialty Sleep Association--the first U.S. mattress manufacturer to do so.
The company will place the SSA Safety & Environmental Program seal on its NaturalFlex latex mattresses and its PlanetSleep visco-memory foam mattresses. An SSA statement said these products are expected to reach retailers in the next few weeks. The mattresses will display the SSA Level 1 seal, meaning that Boyd has met all federal safety flammability requirements; provided a warranty for the product; met all safety requirements for children's products, if applicable; disclosed material construction with a descriptive label content; will participate in an annual survey to identify carbon footprint issues and has committed to continuous improvement; and met standards set by the Montreal Protocol Act, when applicable, for reduction or elimination of ozone-depleting substances.
The SSA created the two-step, seal-and-contents label program after more than a year of research and industry involvement, the association said.

I wouldn't say it based on one game. I'd say it based on one season, where we allowed the fewest goals, had trwo goalies with stellar GAA (to quote Burnside- that goes to team defense), have two Selke finalists along with a past winner, and the probable Norris winner.
Nothing bold about that.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — I could not resist bringing a column back that had appeared nearly eight years ago. Nothing has really changed!
Everyone adheres to a set of rules that are self-made based on one's background, ethnicity, religion, education, age and self-image.
Sometimes the rules should be broken depending on circumstances.
I am not referring to codes of honor, morality or decency, only to codes of dress and behavior.
Sometimes they exist because of our work, because we wish to set examples to our children or because we let our sense of place in the community mask another self.
Travelers, assuming they will be away from critical eyes in their own community, tend to break their rules — acting out fantasies, dressing in a fashion that might be considered outlandish back home or entering into activities that might not place them in the most complimentary light.
I will not deceive you. In the distant past, I have on occasion, wooed by Mediterranean nights on a beach, gentle waves lapping on the sand, torches burning just enough to flatter the face, succumbed to the urge to run barefoot through the waves wearing on off-the-shoulder peasant blouse, flattering skirt and brilliant scarf.
I have cast aside my button earrings and donned the long gypsy-like accouterments.
My alter ego has reveled in the freedom.
As the years have flown by, and the mirrors have grown exceedingly uncomplimentary, I have also worn shorts and bathing suits with abandon in such environments because normally I do not expect to run into friends or neighbors, so who cares how I look.
What if the former, not too bad figure, has sagged a bit here and there? What if those varicose veins do not exactly look like tattoos?
What if the black skirted bathing suit stands out like a scarecrow in a cornfield? I am there to enjoy myself, not looking for romance. As long as I do not go to extremes, strangers do not care what I wear.
However, during the last few weeks here at home I have had to struggle with myself and my rules as the heat has mounted and continued.
There were rules as to what could be worn in public. It was losing battle. Each morning I would check my closet. At first I acknowledged a sleeveless cotton shirt.
My mirror told me that a slight loss in weight had done a job on the muscles of my upper arms. The once tight skin hung mercilessly. I could not possibly wear it!
I gave in finally and wore the shirt with a loose, long skirt.
No one, not a soul, even looked twice at me or noticed my embarrassment. So I washed it and wore it again and again.
The next rule to break had to do with wearing shorts outside of my home. That evil mirror kept telling me how awful I looked in them.
For days I wore the traditional slacks or skirts. The weather did not abate. One day in desperation, I decided to venture out just for a walk in the park in a pair of shorts.
After all, from my window I could see everyone else wearing all sorts of cool clothing.
Nobody seemed to think I looked strange, in fact, I think I have finally learned the truth about people. Most all of us are too busy thinking about ourselves to really observe others who pass us by.
I had an errand to do at the market and growing bolder, decided not to change.
Again, my appearance did not create an uproar! Buoyed by the lack of condemnation I took another bold step and went to a movie in them. No one seemed to care!
Of course, now that I have discovered the fallacy of those two restrictions I had placed on myself, I shall be checking out a few more to see if some changes should be made.
How about you?
Is there some small thing you might wish to explore and amend that is preventing you from enjoying your life?

I found THIS link today in my Youth Specialties update via my email. Thanks Kelli Mahoney for sharing!
Bobbing for Ho-Hos
Got milk? Got some Ho-Hos? How about a big, clear bowl? That's all you need for this game. Like bobbing for apples, you put the milk and Ho-hos in the bowl and let people bob for the chocolate treats. The person who gets the most of them wins.
Slippery Limbo
Lay a tarp down on the floor. Take some dishwashing detergent and spray it down on the tarp. Add a little water, and you have a slippery surface. Then have the students to line up to do some limbo. If you feel like the floor is too hard, do this activity outside or lay some mats under the tarp.
Turkey Bowling
While this is an excellent idea for Thanksgiving, it is still fun year-round. Lay plastic tarps on the floor. Take ten bottles of soda (still full), and lay them out in a bowling pin pattern. Buy one frozen turkey per team (keep the turkeys frozen until service). Then team members take turns using the turkey like a bowling ball to knock down the soda. Be aware that the sodas may "explode" and spray your audience.
Donut on a String
Tie a donut to a string and the string to a pole. Then have someone lay on the floor. The other person has to hold the pole so that the person laying on the floor can try to eat the donut without using his or her hands. The first team to eat the whole donut wins. (It's really harder than it sounds.)
Blind Water Balloon Volleyball
Using a van or opaque shower curtain, lay down two bedsheets on each side of whatever his hanging in the center as the "net." You should not be able to see through the "net." Have each team sit on their bedsheets with their water balloons. Each team tries to throw over a water balloon so that it hits the sheet on the other side. Because the teams cannot see the other team, it is harder to be ready to catch the flying water balloons.
This Is a What?
Another game that seems simpler than it is. Have everyone sit in a circle. Pick up an object and tell the person next to you, "This is a marble." He asks, "A what?" "A marble," you answer. "A what?" he asks again. "A marble," you say. "Oh, a marble," he says. The pattern is now established. He then takes the marble and turns to the next person and starts the pattern. As the marble goes around, you start on the next object and the next object. Eventually there will be a lot of these conversations going on at once. The goal is to see how many objects you can pass around the circle.
Living Sculpture
Toilet paper, saran wrap, and tin foil are used to make sculptures out of one person per team. The team with the best sculpture in the time allotted wins. The "sculpture" volunteer stands in a position while the team wraps toilet paper, saran wrap and tin foil around him or her to create a "work of art."
Milk Chug
This is fun, but ultimately disgusting. It is a good idea to get permission from the parents of students competing, as it will likely result in vomiting. So why is it on this list? Well, it really is a fun competition to do during a service. Have four or five students volunteer to compete during a youth service or activity. At the start of service give each student a gallon of milk. Throughout the service the students chug the milk to see who can finish the entire jug first. It is a good idea to have garbage cans on hand.

Pain Management Health Center
A Pain in the Neck -- Or Just a Pain?
"There are many doctors who [think that] if a patient comes to them with a disorder, there must be something wrong with them," Berry tells WebMD. "They take every symptom literally. Whereas if you step back, you see that these symptoms can be caused by life stress, the illness 'role' as a way of adjusting to life, psychiatric disorders, or even [made up by the patient]. This makes [the doctor's job] more difficult -- you have to make some difficult judgments, and some of your patients become unhappy with you because you tell them nothing is wrong and they want to be ill," he says.
Both sides want to help their patients with chronic neck pain -- but their approaches are very different. While Bogduk and Teasell recommend the neck injection, Berry believes that extensive medical tests compound the problem. "[The diagnosis you get depends] on the specialist you send patients to," he says. "If you take these symptoms literally, you go on to investigations that further the problems."
Berry, senior neurologist at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, says it is important to tell patients who have recently suffered whiplash that their pain will soon go away. He believes that it is extremely important to keep a person from falling into the role of permanent patient, so he advises no more than two weeks of physical therapy and sends people back to work as soon as possible. "If a person is under a great deal of stress, he or she may realize subconsciously that the illness 'role' is better than their life," he warns.
Trauma expert Michael D. Freeman, PhD, thinks Berry is wrong. "The contention that whiplash is not [a physical disease] can only be made if you ignore the medical literature," he tells WebMD. "The idea that it is a psychological disturbance is a myth that has been perpetuated with absolutely no scientific basis at all."
Berry recently performed a study of demolition-derby drivers and found that none had chronic neck pain -- despite a lifetime average of 1,600 whiplash injuries. He also points out that, in court cases, far fewer plaintiffs than defendants report chronic pain.

VITTEL, France - Lance Armstrong is ready to climb again, ready to leave the pack at the Tour de France after days of flat riding that belonged to sprinters.
After three days of sitting back in the main pack while others challenged for stage wins, the worst thing to happen to Armstrong was a small puncture to his back tire on Thursday's 12th stage. Nicki Sorensen of Denmark won it, Rinaldo Nocentini of Italy kept the yellow jersey, and Armstrong's tire was repaired within a flash.
12th Stage
Stage: A 131.4-mile ride from Tonnerre to Vittel featuring six minor climbs.
Winner: Nicki Sorensen of Denmark, who clinched his first career Tour win at the age of 34. After a long breakaway, he surged ahead near the end and finished 48 seconds before Laurent Lefevre of France. Franco Pellizotti of Italy took third place.
Yellow Jersey: Rinaldo Nocentini of the AG2R-La Mondiale team held onto the overall lead by finishing in the main pack with Lance Armstrong and Alberto Contador of Astana. Nocentini is the first Italian to wear the yellow jersey since Alberto Elli in 2000.
Quote of the Day: "I'm 34 years old now and it's a big thing for me to perform at this level at this age. I started bike racing when I was 19 and I always hoped that I could maybe go on for many years and I think it shows today that it is possible." - Nicki Sorensen.
Next stage: Today's 13th stage is a 124.2-mile ride between Vittel and Colmar that features two difficult climbs: the Col de la Schlucht, and the Col du Platzerwasel.
Finally, on today, it's back to serious business as Armstrong goes up against his Astana teammate Alberto Contador on a tricky trek that features one grueling mountain climb.
"Tomorrow is hard, that is a real stage," Armstrong said Thursday. "The climb up Col du Platzerwasel is difficult, it is a long way. It is a longer day and anything can happen."
Armstrong, who retired after his seventh straight Tour win in 2005 only to stun the cycling world by announcing he would race again this year, expects some of the Tour contenders to make their move on Friday.
"You have to watch all the rivals, even someone like (Denis) Menchov," Armstrong said of the Giro d'Italia winner. "Some might say he is five or six minutes behind and his race is finished, but if he gains back time, he has the Alps, and then if he is close enough on the (Mont) Ventoux, he could present a problem."
Armstrong briefly looked to be in trouble after about 37 miles on Thursday, when he had to pull over to let his Astana team repair a puncture in his back wheel.
But after a few moments, four of Armstrong's teammates helped him catch up with the main pack again.
"Up and down all day long and was aggressive from the start," Armstrong said on his Twitter feed.
Although Nocentini will keep the yellow jersey heading into today's 13th stage, he is not considered a threat for overall victory - and seemed to be saying he's done the best he can.
"It's a tough stage tomorrow but I'm already really happy," Nocentini said.
He leads Contador by only six seconds and Armstrong by eight.
"We are approaching the really hard stages," Contador said. "It will be a hard day (today). Then we will see how things develop with the uphill finish (to Verbier) on Sunday. In theory I should be OK, because it's up to the others to attack."

Project Will Be Lasting Memorial to Little Rock Civic Leader (Little Rock, AR – October 23, 2007) Surrounded by family and friends of the late civic leader William E. "Bill" Clark, President Bill Clinton and Little Rock City Director Dean Kumpuris today unveiled the plans for the thirteen (13) acre William E. Clark Presidential Park Wetlands Project, which will be a lasting memorial to the Little Rock businessman, philanthropist, and outdoorsman who died earlier this year. The Clark Wetlands Project involves the restoration of riverfront wetlands adjacent to the Clinton Presidential Park and Riverfront Park in downtown Little Rock. It is designed to showcase wildlife and river life in a restored wetlands habitat for the education and enjoyment of the hundreds of thousands of visitors each year to the Clinton Presidential Park and Library and Little Rock's River Market District. The William E. Clark Presidential Park Wetlands Project is the result of a national collaboration between The Conservation Fund, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, and the William J. Clinton Foundation. Also participating in the Clark Wetlands Project are Audubon Arkansas, the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission, The Nature Conservancy, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service, the City Parks Conservancy, and the City of Little Rock. The Wetlands is named for William E. "Bill" Clark, an avid outdoorsman and strong business, civic, charitable, and political leader in Arkansas for over three decades. The Clark and Dillard families created one of the South's largest construction firms, CDI, of which Bill served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Bill built his personal and professional reputation nationally as CDI successfully completed award-winning projects from coast to coast. As the builder of the Clinton Presidential Library, Bill Clark and CDI turned the attention of the world to Little Rock for innovation, craftsmanship, skill, and quality in completing perhaps the most intriguing, efficient, environmentally-sensitive Presidential Library in our nation's history. In remembering his friend, President Clinton noted, "Bill Clark was respected and beloved throughout Arkansas for his leadership, generosity, candor, humor, and ability to make things happen. Throughout his career, he transformed many landscapes, and the transformation of the Wetlands is a tribute to him personally. It is also a major, environmentally-sensitive addition to the riverfront of Little Rock and to the area which is now the home of my Presidential Library and Heifer International world headquarters." Clark's friend and fellow outdoorsman Dr. Kumpuris remarked, "Bill always loved the outdoors and devoted much of his time to preserving and enjoying it. An avid hunter and fisherman, he spent many sunrises and sunsets overlooking the Arkansas River and wetlands, enjoying nature. With this project, millions more will get to share that same experience and do so in the City that Bill loved next to two parks that he loved." The Clark Wetlands will provide unprecedented public access to conservation, tourism, educational, environmental, and wildlife opportunities. The project will feature pedestrian trails and an elevated walkway to provide access to the entire site. The Clark Wetlands will also include two bridges that offer spectacular views of the Arkansas River, the channel stream, and wetland and aquatic habitats. It will feature interpretive displays and observation pavilions for visitors, students, and patrons to both enjoy and learn from the Clark Wetlands. Design for the William E. Clark Presidential Park Wetlands has been contributed in-kind by Larson Burns Smith, Inc. working with Landscape Architecture, Inc. The $2 million project is scheduled to being construction this winter. -30-

Ted Cruz and China: What Are the Facts?
In the hotly contested U.S. Senate race, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst has suggested that his rival, former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz, puts the interests of China above those of the United States.
The allegations stem from Cruz's legal work for a Chinese company in a patent suit against an American inventor, and his opposition to a trade bill under consideration by the U.S. Congress.
Both sides have accused the other of lying about the case and distorting the facts. On the eve of their first one-one-one debate in Dallas, Dewhurst aired another TV ad about ...

Highlights from the 14th annual Teen Choice Awards. July 22, 2012.
GS: "In 1978 and 1979, lawyer and First Lady of Arkansas Hillary Rodham engaged in a series of trades of cattle futures contracts. Her initial $1,000 investment had generated nearly $100,000 when she stopped trading after ten months. In 1994, after Hillary Rodham Clinton had become First Lady of the United States, the trading became the subject of considerable controversy regarding the likelihood of such a spectacular rate of return, possible conflict of interest, and allegations of disguised bribery,[1] allegations that Clinton strongly denied. There were no official investigations of the trading and Clinton was never charged with any wrongdoing." She has lived a life of crime and corruption. Anyone else with her criminal record wouldn't see the light of day. Hillary Clinton = CRIME PAYS/DEPLORABLE

Names and Taxonomy
Littlewood et al. (1999) (citation) and Noren & Jondelius (2002) (citation) present rDNA-sequence data showing a sister-group position of Haplopharynx rostratus and the Lecithoepitheliata, with moderate support. However, Rieger (2001) (citation) also considered such molecular-sequence data (from Littlewood et al. 1999) (citation) and rejected the notion that Haplopharynx rostratus would fall outside of the Macrostomorpha in light of the numerous morphological characters shared by the macrostomorphs and their evolution. That is, a split of the Macrostomida and Haplopharyngida is not valid, and a sister-group relation between Haplopharyngida and Lecithoepitheliata is unlikely. The only morphological characters supporting the Haplopharyngida/Lecithoepitheliata relationship are those of the penial structures and the follicular surrounding of accessory cells (Rieger, 2001).

Emerging Issues Surrounding Invasion and Control of Phragmites australis in Wisconsin's Wetlands: A Survey of Wetland Professionals
Click here for printable PDF version
Phragmites australis, a relatively new invader of Wisconsin's wetlands, is rapidly expanding its range in Wisconsin to the detriment of native wetland communities. Many wetland managers, restoration practitioners, researchers and other wetland professionals in Wisconsin and the Great Lakes region have knowledge about Phragmites invasion and control through on-the-ground experience. However, much of this knowledge has not been published, and thus far there has not been a means to make this collective Phragmites expertise available such that wetland professionals can build on the experience of others in the wetland community.
Wisconsin Wetlands Association has begun to address this need by surveying wetland professionals in Wisconsin. In 2004, WWA coordinated a written survey of wetland professionals about Phragmites invasion and control, and also coordinated a Phragmites working group at its January 2005 Wetland Science Forum. More than 35 wetland professionals participated in these discussions (click here for a graph showing types of professionals who participated). Discussions focused on Phragmites topics such as monitoring and mapping; prevention, early detection and rapid response; native versus non-native populations, competition with natives and other invasive plants, and control techniques.
This webpage is a compilation of contributions of Phragmites experience and informal insights made by wetland professionals through our written survey and working group discussion. Contributions are organized by topic and include observations, research needs, and opinions regarding priorities for dealing with Phragmites in Wisconsin's wetlands. WWA encourages wetland researchers, consultants, land managers and others working in wetlands to continue to share the results of new Phragmites work with us and the rest of the wetland community. The goal of this working document is to provide a means for Phragmites information exchange that allows wetland professionals to learn from and build upon one another's on-the-ground experience battling Phragmites in Wisconsin's wetlands.
Please note that the information submitted by wetland professionals and compiled below has not been confirmed by Wisconsin Wetlands Association. This is intended as a working document and will be continually updated with new Phragmites information as it is submitted by wetland professionals.
Does your firm offer invasive plant control services with expertise in Phragmites control techniques? WWA will maintain a list of consultant contacts here to connect those in need of such services with experienced professionals. To have your firm listed, email WWA at programs [at] wisconsinwetlands.org.

I have made this before! Except I think in mine, I mixed the sauces together and combined with the pasta, 1/2 the mozz cheeze, then topped with the other half and baked. We loved, loved, LOVED it! I can't believe we haven't had it since! I think the sauce is lovely enough that you caould add chicken, shrimp, sausage, or anything else. I totally use Trader Joe's jarred Alfredo sauce. Beautiful!!! Thanks for reminding me of this super yummy recipe!

BERLIN -- Germany's education minister has resigned after a university decided to withdraw her doctorate, finding that she plagiarized parts of her thesis -- an embarrassment for Chancellor Angela Merkel's government months before national elections.
Merkel said Saturday that she had accepted minister Annette Schavan's resignation "with a very heavy heart."
On Tuesday, Duesseldorf's Heinrich Heine University decided to revoke Schavan's doctorate following a review of her 1980 thesis, which dealt with the formation of conscience. The review was undertaken after an anonymous blogger last year raised plagiarism allegations, which the minister has denied.
Schavan's resignation comes two years after then-Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg lost his doctorate and quit when it emerged that he copied large parts of his doctoral thesis.
