Local residents will get a change at better health in August, when the Westchester-based Collaborative Underserved Relief and Education (CURE) Network opens the doors at Malcolm X College. Volunteer physicians, ophthalmologists and dentists -- along with auxiliary and support staff -- will provide three days of free care to needy patients.
Plans are in place for a three-day event at Chicago's Malcolm X College Aug. 19-21. A partnership with RAM will bring portable units and 20 volunteers to oversee logistics on site, while CURE leaders are working now to secure volunteers and funding for the event.
According to executive director Josette Szalko, the event will require at least $225,000 and 500 volunteers, both professionals and lay people.
Chicago is in great need of our services and we hope you will commit one day of your time to helping us reach out and serve those individuals who have limited options for dental care. If you have helped with Mission of Mercy in the past, you know how fulfilling this type of experience is. If you have the desire to volunteer, but just haven't done it yet, this is your opportunity to reach out and positively affect the lives of thousands of Chicagoans. Volunteer dentists and auxiliaries are needed at CURE's inaugural event to provide cleanings, X-rays and fillings, extractions and some more complex restorative procedures to an estimated 1,000 patients per day. The clinic will be open between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
To volunteer, please visit www.ramvolunteers.org to register. All you need is a valid dental license and a few moments of your time to complete the registration process. We encourage dental volunteers to bring their own assistants, if possible, to be as efficient as possible.
Also on site in August, physicians will provide check-ups, heart tests, gynecological and prostate exams, and screenings for diabetes and skin cancer to 1,000 patients per day (a $1.1 million value). Vision services will include basic eye exams, refraction, ophthalmologic evaluation and prescription glasses in the Mission of Mercy and Remote Area Medical's (RAM) mobile vision lab for 500 patients a day (a $700,000 value).
CURE was founded in 2010 by physician Ken Nelson and ophthalmologist Rama Jager, who knew that local clinics had long waiting lists full of patients with limited resources but tremendous needs for basic care — and even longer waiting lists for specialty care. The doctors knew about successful care events like those hosted by RAM, and felt confident that local healthcare providers would make a homegrown event similarly successful.
With a stack of 750 blank forms beside
them, more than 100 volunteers opened the Special Smiles tent at
Eckersall Stadium under sunny skies May 4. This annual feature of the
spring Special Olympics offers free oral screenings and hygiene
instructions to the athletes.
"The purpose of today is to help dental
professionals who might not normally see patients with special needs and
the athletes get comfortable with each other. We're in a beautiful,
non-threatening, park-like setting, and the athletes will meet a dentist
with a friendly smile. It just puts everyone at ease," said co-chair
Fred Margolis, a dentist who marked 18 years with Special Smiles this
From the dental education center,
athletes could see a booth sponsored by Legoland, the bleachers and
playgrounds. They heard an announcer call for athletes in standing long
jump, wheelchair races, assisted races, and other events to gather in
various areas of the stadium.
Volunteers, meanwhile, were focused on
their given tasks: to greet the athletes, complete the oral screening,
talk to the athletes and their caregivers about at-home care, and
sometimes discuss follow-up care. All visitors that day received goody
bags filled with toothpaste, a new toothbrush, floss and a list of
resources for follow-up care.
Volunteers represented the Academy of
General Dentistry; Alpha Omega dental fraternity; the University of
Illinois at Chicago College of Dentistry; Loyola University Medical
Center; Illinois Masonic Hospital; and the Grottoes, a charitable,
fraternal organizations affiliated with the Masons. One special project
for the Grottoes nationwide is to arrange for (and sometimes help fund)
dental care for patients with special needs in their communities.
"The volunteers are essential to our
success," said co-chair Ricardo Mendoza, also a dentist. "We have
volunteers who have been coming for years because they want to be a part
of this day. They all understand the importance of the event, and that
dental care is another challenge for these patients."
North Side dentist Ilie Pavel and his
son, first year dental student Chris, participate every year. Chris
wasn't even swayed by the pathology exam he would take the day after the
"We always enjoy coming to this, every year," Dr. Pavel said.
"My whole staff loves it," echoed Loop
dentist Maharukh Kravich. Upon uttering the magic words "no cavities,"
Dr. Kravich received a big hug from her first patient of the day, a
young female athlete clad in bright blue sweatpants. "We put it on the
schedule as soon as the e-mail comes every year."
First-time volunteer Sue Schietert was no
less enthusiastic. Ms. Schietart sees one patient with autism regularly
and remembers fondly her experience at Little City while still a
"I'm excited to be a part of this all and
do something with the kids," said Ms. Schietert, a hygienist in Jim
Frett's Mount Prospect office. "It's humbling and enlightening to be
here today."
Dental professionals interested in volunteering for the next Special Smiles event should contact Dr. Mendoza at firstname.lastname@example.com in February.

This is probably the best place to ask. I've been considering a vasectomy so that my wife can get off of the hormonal stuff. She's been taking it for about 15 years because she has some pretty gnarly cramps, but they have reduced significantly since she's started primal. I'm seeing a pretty high amount of people stating a loss of testosterone, and that kind of scares me.
Basically, I want to undergo a permanent procedure so that she can stop taking the pills. I guess advice would be awesome. I would assume a vasectomy is pretty contraindicated as primal, but so are the pills.

Villa v Liverpool throws up many connections - well twenty-six of them to be exact - and one of the chief among them is Peter Crouch.
Check out our picture gallery looking at Peter Crouch's time at Villa and Liverpool.
Crouch comes firmly into focus these next two weekends, with Villa facing the Reds and then his current club Stoke City.
In fact, it was 11 years ago this week that the 6ft 7in striker sealed a move to Villa Park from Portsmouth.
The Villa News & Record of April 13, 2002 - for the clash with Leeds United - gives a real indication of how excited he was at the time of his big-money move of £4.5m.
His home debut established him as an instant Holte End hero and he was determined to live up to that billing as his claret and blue career unfolded.
Having played his first match for Villa at Bolton, just three days after his signing, the towering 21-year-old striker could hardly have imagined he would be such a big success when he stepped out at Villa Park for the first time.
Getting in front of Nicolas Dabizas, he met Gareth Barry's cross with a powerful header which earned a 1-1 draw and crowned an excellent individual performance.
He told the Villa News & Record: "It was a dream start for me. All I really wanted to do was play myself in and show everyone what I could do.
"To score like that was a massive bonus for me. I'd hit nineteen for Portsmouth and I was the third highest goalscorer in the First Division but scoring on my home debut for Villa in front of over 36,000 was a really special moment.
"I really enjoyed my time at Portsmouth but I felt the time was right to move to a bigger club - and they don't come much bigger than Aston Villa."
Unfortunately, Crouch failed to hold down a regular place the following term and ended up being loaned to Norwich City the next campaign for three months between September 2003 and December 2003.
He proved popular with fans at Carrow Road and was even awarded a championship medal at the end of the season for his contribution to their title tilt.
But he returned to David O'Leary's Villa over the festive period and started scoring freely.
He bagged a brace at Leicester in a 5-0 win, a goal at Bolton in a 2-2 draw and a late winner at Middlesbrough in a 2-1 victory but still ended up being sold to Southampton in July 2004.
He had scored six goals in thirty-seven top-flight games for Villa.
He was somewhat of a cult hero at Villa for his cultured touch despite a high height but it never quite worked out for him.
Crouch finally took to life in the Premier League on the south-coast, scoring twelve goals in twenty-seven games but he couldn't prevent Southampton's relegation.
Crouch became a favourite at Liverpool after joining the Rafalution in July 2005.
Many questioned Rafa Benitez's decision to pay Southampton approximately £7m for a player whose career had seen him jump around the Football League.
An incredible 19 games without a goal after arriving at Anfield did little to ease concerns, though in this time the Kop caught a glimpse of something that made Crouch stand out - and it wasn't just his 6ft 7 frame.
Despite being one of the tallest players ever to pull on a red jersey, the likeable frontman possessed an assured touch and a work ethic second only perhaps to teammate Dirk Kuyt. It didn't take long for the faithful to devise the humorous "He's big, he's red, his feet stick out the bed" chant.
After breaking his duck with a brace against Wigan (the first of which had to go to the dubious goals panel after a freak deflection), the goals started to flow.
One of the most memorable was a winner in a fifth round FA Cup tie against Manchester United in January 2006.
The Reds went on to win the competition in Cardiff, with Crouch getting the assist for Liverpool's second against West Ham.
The start of the 2006-07 season saw him head the winner in the Community Shield triumph over Chelsea.
A broken nose sustained versus Sheffield United interrupted his second season on Merseyside, though he did go on to net his first club hat-trick against Arsenal in March 2007- one with his left foot, one with his right and another with his head.
Crouch was named as a substitute in the 2007 Champions League final in Athens, coming on for Javier Mascherano with 12 minutes to go.
His introduction wasn't enough to spark another comeback.
The arrival of Fernando Torres at Anfield meant first-team starts were becoming more difficult to come by.
Despite being offered a new contract in the spring of 2008, Crouch decided the time was right to move on.
It was Portsmouth who eventually won the race for his signature in July 2008.
The other stars to have played for both clubs are Bert Goode, Sam Hardy, Jimmy Harrop, Tommy Gardner, Gordon Hodgson, Dave Hickson, Tony Hateley, Ian Ross, Alun Evans, Mark Walters, Steve McMahon, Steve Staunton, Ray Houghton, Dean Saunders, Stan Collymore, David James, Oyvind Leonhardsen, Patrik Berger, Brad Friedel, Stephen Warnock, Emile Heskey, Milan Baros, Scott Carson, Peter Crouch, Stewart Downing and Robbie Keane.
In addition, Gerard Houllier was manager of both clubs, while Kevin MacDonald was coach at Villa and player at Liverpool.

About Beryllium: Be is a silver-gray metal that has a low density (1.8477g/cm3), moderately high mp (1287 oC), good stability, and good mechanical properties—particularly specific stiffness, which is 6x greater than steel. In addition, Be transmits x-rays 17x greater than Al, making it a potentially attractive gasket material. The primary forms of Be used are pure metal, metal alloys, and BeO.
Beryllium Hazards:Chronic beryllium disease- characterized by pulmonary symptoms that include dypsnea, nonproductive cough, and detriments in lung function, resulting from inhalation of airborne Be.
Lung Cancer-Considerable debate about carcinogenicity of Be. It is a demonstrated animal carcinogen and a suspect human carcinogen.
Toxicity-Be is not ordinarily hazardous if ingested.
Occupational Limits:
OSHA General Industry Standard- 8-hour time weighted average 2 mg/m3
For comparison, all the dust from drilling a typical (100 mm)3 sample chamber produces 2 mg of Be particulates.
ü -Minimize airborne concentrations
ü -Reduce potential for and spread of contamination
1) Personal Protection:
q Be familiarized with safety procedure before beginning work
q Wear a face mask
q Wash hands thoroughly after contact with Be
2) Control Be particulates:
q Clear off a localized workspace
q Cover workspace with paper
q Confine work to a small, centralized area on paper
q Use tape to trap Be particulates
· Put tape on back side of gasket holder to ensure Be dust does not escape out back of holder
· Use tape to 'blot' gasket (2x) before checking under microscope
· Use tape to create a sticky area for putting drill tips
3) Proper Clean-up procedure:
q -Wrap-up contaminated paper and dispose in a clearly labeled plastic bag
q -Give Be waste to Beryllium Safety Contact Person
*Info was taken from "Beryllium Good Practice Guide." To look at the guide, talk to Beryllium Safety Contact Person

My ferret is fixed and about 6 years old. I noticed she has a very enlarged vulva but doesn't seem to have hair loss. She eats normal and seems happy. What is causing her vulva to be enlarged?
Unfortunately, your ferret more than likely has an extremely common disease called adrenal gland disease. Some female ferrets with this disease have only an enlarged vulva. Some have hair loss and an enlarged vulva. And some have just hair loss.
This is such a common disease that some believe more than half of the pet ferrets will come down with this disease if they live long enough. There is a lot of information about this disease.
You should visit a veterinarian that is familiar with ferrets. He or she will be able to give you an abundance of information on adrenal gland disease. It is relatively easy to diagnose, it can be frustrating to treat, but the prognosis is not always bad.
Treatment includes surgery or medication. Medication can be given orally, by long-acting injection or by implants under the skin. The prognosis for this disease depends on many factors, but treatment can give your ferret an excellent quality of life for an extended period of time.
The two most important things I need to emphasize are:
Do your homework before you visit your veterinarian so you can ask questions.
Go to a veterinarian who is familiar with adrenal gland disease and has treated many ferrets with it.

When they write the book of overreaching, this number should have a chapter to itself. It consists of clips from the film Amadeus intercut with videos of such people as David Bowie, Madonna and Pete Townshend. The point, says an Orion Pictures spokeswoman, is to demonstrate that "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was the Prince or the Michael Jackson of his day." This is accomplished by showing, for instance, Jimi Hendrix burning his guitar at Monterey, then showing a fire in an opera scene from the movie. The music is "Mozart's 25th Symphony in G minor conducted by Neville Marriner," but in this video David Lee Roth appears as the conductor. It adds up to an abject mess that bears as much relation to Mozart as it does to the the history of Wyoming.

Alentejo Map
Your Guide to Europe for Visitors.
FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now!
Map of the Alentejo Region of Portugal and Travel Essentials
The Alentejo is the least populated of the five continental Portuguese regions. The Alentejo is also the up and coming region for the production of fine wine--and the region has plenty of interesting towns, castles, and archaeology to keep the visitor happy for weeks.
Our Alentejo map shows some of the most important tourist towns and attractions in the region.
Alentejo Regional Map © 2006-2014 by James Martin, licensed to About
Towns of the Alentejo Region
Evora is perhaps the best known of Alentejo towns. The historic center of Evora is designated as a world heritage site, and features a pretty complete Roman temple dedicated to Diana, as well as a famous bone chapel. Evora has a nice ambiance, and spending three days here wouldn't be too much.
Monsaraz was built to keep eye on the Spanish border and the River Guadiana. It's called the "jewel in the crown" of the Alentejo for good reason; the hilltop town is gorgeous in white. Property values have soared recently for this reason. See for yourself with our Monsaraz Pictures
Elvas is known for its brandy and pottery production, and features the impressive Auqueduto de Amoreira and the 17th Century Fort de Santa Luzia.
Borba is known for its ceramics and its marble; visit the Museu de Cerâmica (Ceramics Museum), walk around the ruins of the medieval castle, and peek inside the 15th century Church of Nossa Senjora.
Estremoz has a medieval castle which is now Pousada de Estremoz - Rainha Santa Isabel, and one of the best in Portugal. On the castle hill you can visit several chapels and ethnographic and art museums. Don't miss out on the "Black Pork" over at the Adega do Isaias Restaurant.
Evoramonte has a medieval castle and you can see permanent exhibitions on the town in the Torre de Managem. 2006 was the celebration of the 700th anniversary of Evoramonte castle.
Beja in the southern Alentejo had many of its historical features destroyed in the 19th century, but the town is a pleasant one to stroll in, and has a fabulous Posada in which to stay, the São Francisco. Beja's best known attraction is its Torre de Menagem. Climb the 138 steps for a panoramic view of Beja and environs.
To the northeast of Beja is the town of Vidigueira. Vasco da Gama acquired the town from the King in 1519. to the Northwest is, believe it or not, the original Cuba, according to the legend that places Christopher Columbus' birthplace in the Alentejo village.
Just outside of Vila de Frades you'll find the 2nd Century Roman ruin São Cucufate, a Roman villa with frescos dating between the 1st and the 17th Century. In the tascas, homes and restaurants around Vila de Frades you'll find the practice of making wine in the Roman way. See pictures: Vinho de Talha.
In Serpa you'll find the famous Serpa cheese (made in nearby Brinches). You'll wander among 15th century single-story houses, be drawn to the castle, and learn what life was like in the old days in the Ethnographic museum. The most unexpected museum in Serpa may well be the Museum of the Watch, which records 350 years of watchmaking with 1600 pieces on display.
Moura is a town of abundant water and some of Portugal's best olive oil. Visit the Museu do Azeite, with its olive oil press and olive oil tasting, and the Mouraria (Moorish Quarter). Visit Noudar castle that defended Moura, preferably at sunset.
Places to Stay in the Alentejo Region
The Alentejo region is an ideal place to rent a vacation home or cottage. HomeAway lists over 140 properties in the region.
If a hotel is more to your liking, you can find Alentejo hotels on Hipmunk.
The Alenteho - When to Go
The Alentejo is a compelling place to visit, even in the hot summer. The best time to visit is spring, when the wildflowers bloom in profusion. Fall is also good, especially if you can time your visit to the wine harvest. I visited in October, and the weather was perfect.

Over the last few decades, cosmetic surgery and anti-aging treatments have been getting more effective and less invasive, which is great news for patients everywhere. Minimally-invasive procedures make cosmetic treatments safe, effective, and accessible. For many people, a busy lifestyle, finances, or fear of surgery limit the options available for anti-aging, making these new, gentle treatments a great choice for people unwilling or unable to consider a more invasive option. Injectables like Botox® or Dysport®, and dermal fillers such as Juvederm® and Restylane® offer great results without the need for surgery or a lengthy procedure. Because these treatment are injectable, there is no downtime associated with each treatment, and the results can be significant, though temporary.
Injectables include the botulinum toxin injections, such as the wildly popular Botox®, and the newer Dysport® and Xeomin®. These products are used to temporarily ease "dynamic" wrinkles—deep lines and furrows caused by repetitive facial movements such as smiling, laughing, and frowning. The most popular areas to be treated with injectables are the "elevens" between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead wrinkles, and "crows' feet" at the corners of the eyes. Injectables work by partially limiting the movement of facial muscles, which ease wrinkles temporarily.
Dermal fillers are a second type of injectable treatment. Dermal fillers can be made out of many different substances, but the most common type of fillers are those made of hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the skin. Fillers like Juvederm® and Restylane® were originally used to fill in deep folds and "static" wrinkles, caused by volume loss in the face. Today, their uses have expanded, and they can be used not only to fill in wrinkles, but to improve volume and contour in the face. Fillers are commonly used for subtle augmentation and filling in areas like the nasolabial folds, running from the nose to the corners of the mouth, or "marionette" lines that run from the mouth down to the chin. Fillers provide natural-looking, temporary results.
Request Your Personal Consultation
Injectables Consultation
Consultations are an important part of any cosmetic treatment, even non-invasive procedures like injectables with toxins or dermal fillers. Our Atlanta, Georgia cosmetic surgeons will meet with you and discuss your goals for treatment, assess your facial aging, and recommend a product that will suit your needs. There are many different formulas to consider, but our experts will guide you through the process and help you pick the right product for you. Your consultation is an ideal opportunity to get to know our team and ask any questions you may have about your treatment.
Injectables Candidates
One of the best aspects of injectable treatments is how accessible they are for a wide variety of patients. There are very few candidacy requirements for fillers and botulinum toxin injections, as the products are safe, temporary, and relatively inexpensive. These procedures are a great way to try out anti-aging treatments and see what kind of results you can achieve with just a simple injection. Candidates should be healthy adults who would like to reduce the appearance of wrinkles or restore subtle volume to the face.
Injectables Procedure
Since no surgery is involved, the procedure for administering dermal fillers or injectables is easy, quick, and straightforward. Once the plastic surgeon has discussed the treatment plan with the patient, a topical anesthetic is used to numb the area to be treated. The product is then carefully injected using a fine needle, with the surgeon taking care to preserve a natural appearance for the patient. The entire process takes about 30 minutes, and discomfort should be minimal.
Treatments last anywhere from 3-4 months for botulinum toxin injections, and 6 months to 2 or more years for dermal fillers, depending on the formula. Once the results begin to fade, treatments may be repeated to sustain anti-aging effects.
Injectables Recovery
Because the treatments are non-invasive, there is no downtime associated with injectables or dermal fillers. Patients may experience some tenderness, redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site, but this is temporary, and should fade within a few days. Some patients are able to complete their treatments on their lunch hour and return to work immediately, with no ill effects. Injectables take a few days for results to become apparent, while dermal fillers should start working right away.

Are dermal filler injections good for acne scars?
Acne scars can be very embarrassing and are, unfortunately, often quite difficult to treat. However, in some cases dermal fillers can be used to help improve the appearance of acne scars and make them less obvious. Acne scarring usually consists of pits or indents, and fillers can be an effective way to add volume to the indented scars and provide temporary improvement.
Are there any potential side effects from injectable treatments?
Common side effects are very mild, and may include swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site. Other side effects can occur, but these are very rare. Complications can include:
- Headache
- Allergic reactions
- Drooping eyelids (injectables)
- Bumps/irregularities
- Poor aesthetic outcome
Serious complications are very rare but can include tissue damage if a filler injection flows into a blood vessel. If patients are displeased with the aesthetic results of the procedure, the treatment is only temporary. Some fillers can even be reversed with an injection that breaks down hyaluronic acid.
How long will each treatment take?
Sessions are brief when performed by a skilled cosmetic surgeon, and patients should be in and out of our Atlanta, Georgia office within 30 minutes or so.
Is it possible to be allergic to the injections?
Early dermal fillers often used ingredients derived from bovine sources, which were more likely to result in allergic reactions. Today, allergic reactions, though possible, are very unlikely from injectables and dermal fillers. During your consultation, your surgeon will go over your allergies and health history to help minimize the chances of allergic reaction and to choose the right product for you.
Are dermal fillers used for lip augmentation?
Lip augmentation is a very popular procedure. Dermal fillers are the most common method for filling out the lips and improving lip contour. Fillers are ideal for this treatment, as they are quick and convenient, while producing results with a very natural look and feel.
How safe are injectable fillers?
Many people are concerned about the concept of botulinum toxin injections, as the formula makes use of bacteria related to botulism. However, both injectable toxins and dermal fillers are extremely safe, with a long history of consistent results. Serious complications are extremely rare and normal side effects are minimal. Botox® has been used for over 30 years and dermal fillers have been popular for over a decade, both with an excellent track record for safety.
Can fillers treat hollows under the eyes?
One major symptom of aging is facial volume loss, which can make the face appear hollow and gaunt. One area that is often affected is under the eyes, or the "tear troughs". Many people have issues with chronic undereye bags. Eyelid surgery is a common method for treating these hollows, but dermal fillers can also provide temporary improvement and smooth out the area for a refreshed, youthful appearance.
Are there any permanent injectables or fillers?
While there is no such thing as a permanent filler, some formulas do stimulate collagen production and offer results that last years. Sculptra® is the most popular long-lasting filler, but it is not appropriate for all potential treatment sites nor for all patients interested in dermal fillers.
Which filler/injectable should I choose?
The best treatment for you will depend on many different factors, including the type of wrinkling or volume loss you are experiencing, your expectations for the results, and your health history. Only you and your cosmetic surgeon can determine which product is right for you and your needs.

Original verdict was rendered Sept 22, 2011...almost two years ago. Now that verdict has been reversed in part. PIP hasn't received a dime yet. Given deferrals of revenues....time for the new judgment to be rendered...any time for appeal of that "new judgment", I figure this thing should be ready for "final" determination sometime in 2015-2016. If PIP is around three years from now maybe they could finally get something...Maybe... maybe not. In the meantime you PIPsters are missing a great stock market holding on to that POS....LOL!
Feeling frisky are you Golong? Same can be said for SIGA investors. Whenever final verdict comes, the deferral of revenues will not mean squat to the Court. Anyone who thinks otherwise is practicing wishfull thinking.
He's just being golong, lol.
Even he's said that should PIP prevail, they'd get before Parsons in a heartbeat if SIGA tried to use the deferral issue to delay payment.

LAHAINA - Christian Balagso is not afraid of hard work.
The Lahainaluna High School junior is the top seed in the 120-pound weight class for the Chevron Hawaii State Wrestling Championships, one of a record six Lunas on the top rung of a bracket for the event that runs Friday and Saturday at the Neal Blaisdell Arena on Oahu.
Balagso's life growing up on the Cabanilla 'ohana pig farm in Olowalu Valley - LB Farm - has ingrained a solid work ethic in him.

Lahainaluna's Christian Balagso feeds a pig at LB Farm in Olowalu Valley. Balagso is the top seed in the 120-pound weight class for the Hawaii State Wrestling Championships. He is one of six Lunas who are No. 1 tournament seeds.

Top-seeded Lahainaluna wrestlers (from right to left) Christian Balagso (120 pounds), Diamond Freitas (109), Breanna Dudoit-Vasquez (135), Carly Jaramillo (140), Bubba Jaramillo (145) and Lalelei Mataafa (220) will be competing in the Chevron Hawaii State Wrestling Championships on Friday and Saturday at the Neal Blaisdell Arena on Oahu. The six No. 1 tournament seeds are a record for a Maui Interscholastic League school.
The Maui News / ROBERT COLLIAS photo
"My mom guys taught me that the work comes first," Balagso said at practice on Tuesday. "You have got to get the job done and you work harder to get what you want."
Balagso works on the farm during wrestling season, which has grown to two-a-day practices in the last couple weeks as Lahainaluna seeks the first state wrestling team title for a Neighbor Island team.
Depending on the breeding schedule, he can be taking care of more than 100 pigs, which require more than 200 gallons of cooked food-waste per day. The breeding boars are more than 500 pounds each and pigs are sold when they reach 230 pounds. The farm also includes goats, ducks and chickens.

"By the time I get home, if my brothers didn't finish yet, I will go down there and finish up," Balagso said. "Feeding pigs, cooking the slop for the next day, or washing some barrels so we can pick up more slop. Weekends, though, when I'm not in sports and my brothers are busy, I'll take care of the farm on my own."
Lunas coach Todd Hayase said, "He definitely has the work ethic, he definitely has the commitment and the passion and all that."
With 13 qualifiers in 14 weight classes - 10 of whom are Maui Interscholastic League champions - the Lahainaluna boys have their eyes on a state title. Balagso and Bubba Jaramillo (145 pounds) are No. 1 seeds.
It is the Lunas' girls who may have a better team-title shot with five MIL champions and 10 total qualifiers. Four Lahainaluna girls - Diamond Freitas at 109, Breanna Dudoit-Vasquez at 135, Carly Jaramillo at 140, and Lalelei Mataafa at 220 - are seeded No. 1.
Both Jaramillos and Mataafa are defending state champions.
"I can't recall having four girls (No. 1 seeds)," Hayase said. "It says a lot about this girls team. They have definitely earned that seeding."
Balagso is part of the Cabanilla family legacy for Lunas' wrestling. He is first cousins with three-time state champion Travis Okano, 2010 state champion Holden Mowat and former state qualifier Lono Cabanilla. Current Lahainaluna junior and MIL champion Connor Mowat is seeded second at heavyweight.
"I'm sure it helps them, but they are all individuals," Hayase said. "I just think they have that special gene that just makes them work hard."
All are children of Lawrence Cabanilla's daughters.
"It pushes me to see what Holden, Travis and Lono have all done, all their accomplishments," Balagso said. "I want to at least tie them or break their records."
Connor Mowat, the reigning MIL Defensive Football Player of the Year, said his smaller cousin is as tough as they come.
"He's an animal - when we were young we would always just grab sticks, fight each other, wrestle around with each other," Mowat said. "I think people should be wary of him up at states."
Mowat said that the family legacy has not been lost on himself and Balgaso.
"We know we have to push ourselves, so we keep driving," he said.
Balagso added, "We both want to get our names up there in the middle of the board" - Lahainaluna's all-time list of state champions.
The half-dozen combined No. 1 seeds, a record for an MIL school, shows just how far the Lunas have come as a program. Kamehameha Kapalama is next with four No. 1 seeds, and no other school in the tournaments has more than two.
"It gives us more confidence, it makes us know that we deserve that seed, we deserve that top spot," Balagso said. "The pressure is on, too. You're expected to be the best."
All 13 Lahainaluna boys qualifiers are from the Maui Style youth program, eight from the Lahaina Roughnecks and five from the Napili Surfriders.
"Most definitely, this is the team," Balagso said. "We have enough guys, we have the quality and the potential to win the state title as a team and make history."

Is government responsible for the poor?
caines | 3/15/2012, 5 a.m.
Does government have the responsibility to protect those that are the most vulnerable those who have fallen through the cracks of our society? They are the ones that command the least of our attention and efforts and are seemingly those to whom we should endear ourselves. They vote only occasionally if at all and by and large, they dont contribute to political campaigns. They rent rather than own a home and they do not own a business. And if they are employed they work a nine-to-five or midnight shift. A large percentage of them make up the ranks of the underemployed. So, yes, we are talking about all of those that dont live in the suburbs. And to the extent that our local government is made aware of their existence, the response is only to ameliorate their hardships. For example, government will help to fund a food bank here or a shelter there. But we forget the systems that are in place that maintain the cycle of urban instability, low-performing schools and bleak economic opportunities. If we were to judge our society by the manner in which we treat those that are the most susceptible to lifes unexpected events without providing real solutions, we would surely have cause to be ashamed. I believe that future generations will evaluate us not on how we responded to those that already have but how we responded to those who have not. There has to be another approach to the telling of this story a way in which the results showcase what has been provided to the weakest and most vulnerable members of our society and lack the wherewithal to actively participate in politics. Should government be held accountable for those that cant do for themselves, and if so how much? That is the test. Henry Crespo, Sr., is vice chairman of outreach for the Miami-Dade Democratic Party.

Emergency Department Menu
University Hospitals Parma Medical Center's Emergency Department (ED) focuses on excellent, personalized care for acute and sub-acute cases. All physicians in our ED are board certified in emergency medicine and use innovative programs including Doc at the Door and Code STEMI to expedite emergency care.
The ED was renovated and expanded in 2004, more than doubling its size, as the number of cities under UH Parma Medical Center's medical care grew. The unit was recently renovated to remove the registration area, improving convenience for patients who are registered at the bedside.
From 1 – 10 p.m. every day, patients are generally assessed within 30 minutes of arrival by Doc at the Door, a physician-led team that includes a nurse, paramedic and technician. Quick triage allows the team to provide a preliminary diagnosis and order testing before the patient is even escorted to a treatment room.
At UH Parma Medical Center, we understand that time is especially critical during cardiovascular issues, so heart attack patients are rushed immediately to the cardiac catheterization lab.
Due to technological advances, ED physicians can now view an electrocardiogram (EKG) prior to the patient's arrival in an ambulance. For any patient with an ST-elevated myocardial infarction (heart attack), the ED physician calls a Code STEMI, which triggers a team response to expedite care upon the patient's arrival.
Our Code STEMI system has resulted in a dramatic improvement in door-to-balloon times. An average of 96 percent of patients that arrive to the emergency department and are experiencing an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), have a door-to-balloon time less than the national standard of 90 minutes.
The stroke program at UH Parma Medical Center has received the Gold Seal of Approval from The Joint Commission, an organization that accredits hospitals nationwide. When a stroke patient arrives in the ED, the stroke team is activated to respond, expediting lab and imaging results. The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association also has recognized the hospital's quality stroke program.
A sub-acute unit is available daily from 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. for expedited care of patients with non-emergent complaints such as sore throats, sinus infections and minor injuries.
The ED contains a specialized observation unit for patients who need additional testing and treatment, but not admission to the hospital. The Critical Decision Unit is a 23-hour observation unit for patients whose chief complaints are conditions such as chest pain, asthma, dehydration and allergic reactions.
If there is a medical emergency, always dial 911.

Bacchus Brewing Company
The Bacchus Brewery began production in March 2010 in the cellar of the Bacchus Hotel.
The Bacchus Hotel Brewery
Their first brews were only trials and were tasted by many of the local drinkers who gave their opinions on what needed changing. This helped Tony work out what he needed to do to perfect his brew. By October 2011 Tony was producing brews that were very popular with both the locals and bitter drinkers from far afield. This has led to the Bacchus Brewing company being contacted on many occasions to have their beer put into Beer Festivals around the UK.
It takes five to seven days to make each brew. The process starts with the malt (malted barley) being put into a grist case.
Tony the Head Brewer measuring out the malt
Malt being put into the Grist Case
From here it drops into a mash tun to mix with hot liquor (hot liquor is water treated with added sulphates and carbonates to increase the water hardness making it suitable for brewing)
The Brew so far
When the mash has stood for one hour, sparging then takes place. Hot water is sprayed onto the mash from the top and the work is drained from the bottom. Sparging extracts further sugars and flavours from the malt. Then the malt is put into sacks and goes to a local farmer who feeds it to his cows with it.
The wort then goes into the copper vessel where it is boiled for an hour and fifteen minutes.
The Wort going into the copper vessel
Whilst the wort is boiling hops are added at three different times during the boil, the purpose of this is to add bitterness and aroma.
The Hops that are added
The liquid wort is then run through a heat exchanger, which cools it, and then it is pumped into a fermenting vessel in another room. It then ferments for a further five days and is then cooled. Brewing yeast is added at the start of fermentation turning the worts sugars into alcohol and the wort into beer.
Over the next five days the wort is regularly monitored. The liquid is measured for its specific gravity or density. The density relates to the beers final strength – the more sugars the higher the density the stronger the beer.
After seven days the beer is barrelled and put into cold storage, after a further two weeks it is finally ready to be drunk from the pumps.

Another week has passed and we are creeping ever closer to my big night, the draft! I had a chance to break bread with Terry over the weekend and he wanted me to let everyone know that he's very excited for the big things that are planned during the offseason. On a side note, you have not lived until you have seen him "hydro-frack" a turkey. This week's mailbag:
If they were making a movie of your life, who would you want to play you? Who would you pick to play Lindy? (@LindyRuffsTie via Twitter)
Hey! How's it hanging Tie? This is a question I have contemplated ever since Game One of the 1999 Stanley Cup Finals finished. The potential project was put on hold when Brett Hull willfully cheated us out of our glory a few days later. The youthful version of me definitely would be played by Matt Damon. Of course, as I aged in the flick, Robert Redford would be cast for the more mature version of me. If it's a late-night Cinemax movie of my life…then Tom Byron and John Holmes would suffice. Hmmm, Lindy… older Lindy would be played by Hulk Hogan, without the bandana for the full balding effect. Young Lindy? Emmanuel Lewis.
Will Tim Connolly be placed inside a bubble like Bubble Boys next season? (@Patriciajam via Twitter)
Haha, "Life is an adventure. Don't blow it". Connolly would be the third line center on my all Bubble Boy team. Pat Lafontaine would center my first line, Eric Lindros my second. Other players on the team: Marc Savard, Geoff Courtnall, Scott Stevens, Mike Richter, Adam Deadmarsh, and Petr Svoboda. Buy stock in drool-bibs.
When should we expect Connolly's new contract? (@realmattevans via Twitter)
July 2. I think we can get a great deal on him. Be honest, if he's our fourth line center, and only killed penalties, he'd be more than worth it. Haha, made you look! I like drawing paychecks. I think I'll pass.
OK so here's a question, didn't I see you in some soft core porn flicks made in Toronto in the 70s? That mustache looks familiar! (@strbuk via Twitter)
First of all, you and I need to schedule a movie night. I like your taste. Because of the position I hold in the hockey world currently, I can neither confirm nor deny any past movie performances. But I have to admit, a 1970's minor league hockey career did not make me a wealthy man. You "might" see a striking resemblance between an actor and myself in hockey related adult movies such as Two for Roughing, Two for Hooking, Third Man In, Illegal Curve on the Stick, Offsides, Two Line Pass, Dropping the Gloves, Sitting in the Box, and Game Misconduct. I may or may not have had signature moves such as the slapper, wrist-shot, face-off, or the dump and chase. That was quite the weekend in Toronto.
When negotiating Lindy Ruff's contract, did you have to include @AngryLindy and @LindyRuffsTie? (@donkaczmarek via Twitter)
Negotiating with Lindy is a piece of cake since Terry bought the organization. Lindy wrote down a number, and Terry doubled it. I haven't seen @AngryLindy at the negotiation table since last summer when Tom still owned the club. Lindy walked into the room as Angry Lindy, all red-assed. And he really hated Tom. Lindy would throw out a price and a number of years, Tom would agree, then Angry Lindy would slam his fist on the table and yell "Not good enough!"
LindyRuffsTie is an entirely different story, a real silky Prima donna. Its list of demands was ridiculous this time around. Why a piece of clothing thinks it has as much power at the table as the head coach is a mystery. Nonetheless, it had very little wiggle room. Among the demands:
NO casual Friday (or any day for that matter)
It shall NOT be used as a napkin, ever!
No one in the organization shall ever wear a zipper-tie in its presence (this angered KevinSylvestersTie)
It shall NOT be hung already knotted
At least 35% of it should be visible at all times during games
The Official Stain Remover of the Buffalo Sabres MUST be Shout®
It SHALL be used as a sexual prop at least once a month (I thought this was between it and Lindy but it demanded this demand be included on the contract)
I think you get the point. The Tie is a celebrity and this is the price we must pay to keep it around.
What really happened with the whole Ted Nolan, Dominik Hasek, John Muckler stuff? (Nick via Email)
Fate, that's what happened. As I was toiling along on Long Island, these three clowns were screwing up Hockey Heaven. Luckily for the fans of Buffalo, I swooped in to save the day. When I got here, I heard that Hasek and Muckler used to ride Nolan pretty hard. I guess they made a lot of derogatory Thanksgiving references; One time, they brought in some blankets with spots on them and told Nolan to give them out to his family. They also tried to get Teddy to make it rain. Mucks and Dommers demanded cheap tobacco and feathers from Nolan every Friday. I suppose Nolan had had enough. I cannot confirm this personally, but that's what I hear.
Are you a natural blonde? (Mary via Email)
Yes sweetie, the carpet matches the curtains.

Steven Walker and his Friends have moved from Donna's Bar and Grill to play their traditional New Orleans Jazz every Wednesday night at 10:00 pm at the Spotted Cat, a time-slot that up until now had been home to Vavavoom.
Walker, a New Orleans native, attended the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts and is currently studying with Ellis Marsalis at the University of New Orleans.
This talented trombonist has been performing with the Treme Brass Band since the 10th grade and has caught the eye of Jazz greats such as Delfeayo Marsalis and Wes Anderson, who have been known to occasionally sit-in as one of his "friends" for his live shows.
No telling who'll be "Spotted" with Steven every Wednesday night.

Is it normal to have any sort of pulsation in the stomach? Can only occasionally feel it a little. And, if I lay down when I feel it, I can also see it some. I didn't know if it was something to be concerned about or if it happens normally and I can just notice if better now since I've lost weight and become more aware of my digestive system since I had some troubles.
Anyone experience the same thing?

Happy Birthday, Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot
Caty Fairclough | June 1, 2015
Happy birthday to the Paris-born "father of thermodynamics", Nicolas Léonard Sadi Carnot. A talented physicist and engineer, Carnot channeled his interest in steam engines into the creation of a theoretical thermodynamic cycle called the Carnot cycle. Through this theory, Carnot laid the groundwork for the second law of thermodynamics, which relates to entropy and heat loss and is still relevant in physics and engineering today.Read More

Heloise: 'Blue Monday' advice still good
Dear Readers: The column below originally was printed Sept. 25, 1961, the second week of the first year that my mother, the original Heloise, was syndicated by King Features Syndicate! The advice is still good. Some research shows that many of us still do laundry on Monday or another specific day. Heloise Central started thinking: Where does the term "blue monday" come from? It seems it's because Monday was the dreaded all-day-long laundry-chore day back 100-plus years ago. - Heloise (the daughter)

Home treatment for warts works quickly
Dear Dr. Gott: I live where mesquite are plentiful, and thorns are not unusual in legs, feet or tires. For about 10 days, I thought I had a thorn in my foot just behind the little toe on the left foot, but I couldn't see it. Finally, I had my wife look and describe it for me, and she believed it to be, instead, a plantar wart. I had some experience removing them as a Navy corpsman, 40 years ago, using a device to burn them out. I didn't want to take that drastic step yet, and then I remembered either Vicks VapoRub or duct tape as a home remedy from your column on warts. So I had my wife put a dab of VapoRub on the wart and cover it with duct tape. Five days of this and no more wart. It just fell out, and the hole closed.

Dear Heloise: Here is a use for baking soda that I have not seen written up lately - as a fire extinguisher, especially good for oil or grease fires (small kitchen ones - Heloise). Sprinkle soda on the fire, and it will soon go out. As a chemist, I have known of this use for quite a while.

And will varicose veins contribute to or cause other health problems, such as high blood pressure, poor circulation, etc.?
Dear Abby: Years of silence begin with just one word
Dear Abby: Fourteen years ago, when my daughter was 4, my older sister, "Jennifer," was visiting. She was conversing with people at my dinner table, and my 4-year-old daughter was seated next to her. Jennifer was swearing and using vulgar language. (When I was younger, we could never even say "jeez" in front of Jennifer's children.)
Bystanders step up to lend a hand
Dear Readers: Yesterday, I printed some of the reactions I received to a letter I got about a disabled person whose wheelchair overturned, and who was left lying on the sidewalk by passers-by who failed to offer assistance.

Looking for help for my journey to become the K1/MT national champion
When I was younger, I have never thought I will do this sport. I was always chubby. I was always obese. I was fat. At 15yo I had almost 200 pounds. It was just horrible. I decided I have to change myself in order to achieve something. I started running. I was able to drop to my current weight and cut myself like on the picture.
I started Muay Thai two years ago. Probably a year ago I had my surgery, where I wasn't able to train like 8 months. My first training after surgery was in October 2012. I decided I want to become the very best. I had 2 matches, amateurs, in the video, and I won them both.
After that, a professional level was next thing I wanted to achieve. I had a fight with a guy from Slovakia. He was like the second best guy in Slovakia. And he actually knock me down with elbow in second round. This happened a month ago.
After that until now, I'm kinda deppresed. But I'm training and I would love to become the best. I would like to visit Thailand this summer, to train here for two months. I only need money for traveling and some basic stuff, because I will work in Thailand in gyms. I will try to find some job there, I will clean gyms where I will be training so I can cut the costs to minimum.
I'm 18 now. I'm professional now. And I would like to become the very best.
I'm not disabled, homeless, victim of anything.I'm just a guy who is looking for help to achieve his dream.Any questions send to:
I would love to talk to you about me, my journey, and anything else.
I'm raising money for myself.
I'm not lying and I'm completely honest with everything I wrote above.
I just need help to do this, because I can't do this on my own.
Hello. I hope I didn't break any rules. I'm not trying to convince or beg the money. I'm just trying to achieve what I never did. If I did anything bad or you feel this is wrong, just delete it. I will get it.
hahah no rules were broke. It's just some may not take you serious.
Yeah, but like, I have nothing to lose. I mean, I don't have the money to do the trip, so even if I don't make them, I will never lose them.
I will still try to become the champion by training at my local gym every day, and if I put enough effort in it, I believe in myself that I can actually do it.
It's good to see that you believe in yourself.
But that reply didn't make sense. You're coming off really strong in this thread.
But good luck. Post videos
There are videos in the link on the fundly page :)
Have you improved since those videos?
Yes. Those are my amateur videos. I did improve so much, I'm on professional level now. That means no shinguards and such.
3 Attachment(s)
I think it's great you have a dream and your technique looks decent.
Why don't you just get a part time job and save up the money to go there like everyone else who does it, instead of asking random guys online? Clearly you are able bodied enough and a grown man now bro.

This is a powerful work presented by ACT Master of Arts program-- Featuring some of their best students. The work is well done and set in a Teen care home. Ursula Sarma wrote the play with the staff as well as the clients in mind. Its a topic that has been dealt with in other work, but this two Act play serves the issue of teen anxiety, mental illness and suicide very well.
Impressive performances by Anya Richkind who is perfect at a Schizo teen with amazing timing and heart in the role. Forrest Tiffany a vet of the Arts program is also a highlight in RIOT.
Of course the play ends on that topic ,, easy to see that coming. Slaights ballet in orchestrating that Teen age rage is amazing. The final battle with life and freedom is well done.
Worth seeing this play.. GREAT JOB to all and congrats to the cast - Vmedia

The problem is less the performance than the play itself. It tries to cover the stories of eight teens incarcerated in a psychiatric facility and adds those of the staff as well. Spread so thin, the play fails to engage the audience.

I did like this play yet I did not love it. The subject matter is heavy as expected. I agree with another reviewer that there were too many characters to really get fully invested in depth in even one of them. Most of the acting was decent - a...continued

I really liked the premise and staging, and the actors, young as they were, were very good. There wasn't enough angst to substantiate the anger in the climax, but a little tweaking could correct that.
An unexpected act of violence lands Max in a residency clinic for emotionally disturbed teens. Was his explosive outburst the symptom of a mental disorder or a passionate act of love? Featuring young actors from A.C.T.'s acclaimed Master of Fine Arts Program and Young Conservatory, Riot weaves Max's relationships with his fellow patients, his doctor, and his nurses into a moving portrait of the deep human need for connection. Celebrated Irish playwright Ursula Rani Sarma's hard-hitting play is the newest commission from A.C.T.'s international partnership with Britain's Theatre Royal Bath.

The Incredible Hulk star won't be following in the footsteps of rocker Steven Tyler – or the man she called dad for a decade, musician Todd Rundgren.
""I don't want to surprise or shock," Tyler tells the July issue of British Cosmopolitan . "And I don't have any urge to run naked along a beach or get drunk at a party."
And since separating from her husband of five years, Spacehog singer Royston Langdon, the 30-year-old says her life as a single mom to son Milo, 3, has become even more domestic.
"I live quietly in New York, out of the public eye. I don't go out much," she explains. "My favorite nights are staying in watching TV or going to a movie and eating popcorn."
Tyler had a decidedly rock 'n' roll childhood with mom Bebe Buell (a former Playboy centerfold). She was raised as the daughter of rocker Rundgren – until discovering, in 1988, that the Aerosmith frontman was her real biological father.
"I love my parents, but I've never wanted my son Milo, who's three now, to be brought up in the same way as me," she tells the mag. "I'm not attacking them for it, I just wanted a different way for my son."
As for her own unconventional upbringing, Tyler admits she's no longer close to Rundgren. "The saddest thing about the whole episode is that Todd is not part of our lives now," she says. "I think he was unhappy with me learning the truth. He was a wonderful father to me."
And Tyler? "I'm definitely critical of him sometimes," she says. "Like when his pants are too tight!"
