This week was all about building my self-confidence on the dance floor. After last week's Little Mermaid dance, Carrie Ann said what Mark has been telling me since week two: I need to get my nerves and self-doubt out of my head! I've been dealing with nerves through this whole experience, and while I was hoping they'd get better each week, finding my comfort zone during camera-blocking day and the live show has had the opposite effect. I've found myself doubting more and more.
Week six is "party anthem" week, and it's all about having fun and letting go. This seems to be my inner stumbling block, which is actually the opposite of who I am with my family and friends! Mark and I practiced our cha-cha all week, but the real test will be when I get out on the dance floor in front of the lights, cameras and live audience.
I really do feel that my insecurities are becoming a little less important each week, and I'm trusting and believing that my confidence will shine through more and more. As I read so many of your comments, I consistently see, "Just let go!" – and trust me when I say, "I'm trying!" I really am.
I had a bit of a revelation this week that I wanted to share with you. This comes from my heart, and while some people may not understand each word in the context I mean it from, I'm finding that my journey on DWTS is so much more than I ever expected. I'm learning more about myself than I ever imagined. This has become way more than a dance show or a competition.
It's brought out insecurities I never realized were so strong, a better understanding of just how much I care about what others think of me (to my detriment), how courageous and strong I really am, and a newfound freedom to embrace being a confident, beautiful and sexy woman (on the inside) without being fearful or ashamed of it.
I've always known who I am and whose I am – and continuing to evolve and grow in self-discovery in the journey of life is a really cool thing. Here's to a confident dance! I hope you enjoy the show tonight, and don't forget to vote for Mark and me! You can do it by calling 1-800-Vote4-07 in addition to voting online at abc.com and facebook.com/dancingwiththestars.

A 49-year-old South Carolina woman was found dead tonight in a hot tub at the Claridge Casino Hotel in Atlantic City in what appears to be an accidental drowning, police said.
The woman's husband found her in the tub about 7:30 p.m., Atlantic City police spokeswoman Sgt. Monica McMenamin said.
"There doesn't appear to be any foul play," McMenamin added.
The couple, from Myrtle Beach, arrived today and were scheduled to stay through Memorial Day, the sergeant said. They were staying in a suite on the 24th floor.
McMenamin said the woman's husband had been asleep and went to check on his wife when he awoke.
An autopsy is scheduled for Friday, but the woman appears to have been the victim of an accidental drowning, McMenamin said.
The names of the couple were withheld by authorities until other family members are notified, the sergeant added.

New to the forum? Introduce yourself here!
Raijin1999 here. I've got to say, SW Battlefront is one of the few games I own with infinite replay value. No matter what I do, if the game is in the ps2, and it's on, I HAVE to play it. I can't turn it off and change games. It's not possible. I'm hoping BF2 is even better. ^.^ Plus, i'll be getting the PS2 modem by Nov' I hope, so I can finally see what online play is like.

Hey im Tommo9000, and i have to say that Star Wars Battlefront was one of the greatest games ever made for the PS2 and since ive had it its hardly ever been out of my diskdrive. Pretty much every night me and my mates play it and we never get bored (unless im always winning!) Mind you saying this i think there is definately some room for improvement and hopefully Battlefront 2 will do that for us. Counting down the months for its release!!

Heylo, my names Dark blader but you can call me Db for short. I enjoyed the 1st installment of Battlefront more than I thought I would, as I prefer games you play as Jedi or Sith [either way a lightsabre]. I still have not watched the trailer for for

Hey Db and everyone else who's introduced themselves glad to see that the numbers are going up slowly but surely and hopefully in the next months it'll be busy 24-7. Still counting down the months for the release of SWBF2 but looking from the vids that are there on the other websites its surely looking good.

The new game is meant to be a massive step up from the first one with space battles, playable Jedi, many other battlefront to choose from e.g Tantive IV and Episode III ones. There's also gonna be a new sprint function which will probably help alot seeing as the battles are gonna be much bigger than BF1 and also you'll be able to change character at command posts.

Liking the look of this game, the thing that put me off the original Battlefront was the fact you couldn't play as any Jedi/Sith, it was still a good game but was lacking that. Now with them being able for play I'm looking forward to this game and will be definitely getting it

The exuberant Baroque style originated in Italy and influenced all of Europe. English designers found new ideas in printed books of Continental ornament. Dutch and French craftspeople who settled in England also had a great influence on the development of the style. A sense of drama and a love of the ornate characterise the Baroque. Interiors were luxurious with rich velvet and damask furnishings and gilt-wood and marquetry furniture. The style remained fashionable until about 1725.

Do you let your children play with these dolls?
Would you let your sons or daughter play with these types of dolls?
Do you think these types of dolls are hurting our children's self image?
Do you think the dolls geared towards our children are meant to lead them in the direction of a certain career path?
I wouldn't buy them but if someone gave them to them I would let them. Except all the knives that come with G.I. Joe. I do buy barbie stuff for my girls all the time. I don't see a problem with them.
Quoting VintageWife:
Barbie and GI Joe, yes. The ones in the middle, no.
Quoting VintageWife:
They make them all with big lips, exposed midriffs and a high-maintenance makeup and eyebrow look. It's like tiny, shapely octomoms...
Quoting flowerfunleah:
Really? Why not the ones in the middle?
Quoting VintageWife:
Barbie and GI Joe, yes. The ones in the middle, no.
bratz are just another type of toy out in the world from a company that wants to make money. as for military boy toys, as long as there is a world in the world there will be g i joes, army men etc.
Dd has some Barbies. We will not let her have Bratz, though- the faces just seem to have this whole "attitude" about them. Dd has enough of an attitude on her own!
My boys have never been into action figures, but I'd have no problem w/ them, or dd, playing w/ G.I. Joe.

Chronic Pain/Headaches
Chronic pain is a frustrating problem, especially when you don't know what is causing it. Too often, patients are told "we can't help you" or "I don't see anything wrong" or even "it's all in your head."
That's not what patients hear when they see Dayton Children's neurologist Daniel Lacey, MD. Dr. Lacey specializes in chronic pediatric pain management and works closely with other specialists at Dayton Children's to establish an accurate diagnosis and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.
Dr. Lacey focuses on helping patients manage pain so that they can participate in normal activities, such as school, sports and friendships. He helps patients develop strong coping skills for pain management, which can include everything from yoga to massage to relaxation techniques. Sometimes, Dr. Lacey will prescribe pain medication, such as nerve blocks, but medication is just one component of the treatment plan.
Depending on your child's needs, Dr. Lacey may make a referral to other clinicians, such as a psychiatrist, child life specialist, physical therapist or dietitian. When possible, we connect patients with older kids who have dealt successfully with chronic pain. There is hope!
Dr. Lacey sees patients for problems such as chronic pain related to headaches or migraines in kids and teens, disorders of the spine, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia and other conditions. Sometimes, patients are admitted to the hospital for testing and observation.
A physician referral is necessary prior to the child's first outpatient visit. All follow up appointments will be made during your clinic visit or by calling central scheduling.
MyKidsChart makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your child's care team, view your child's medication information and receive important health reminders by email.

Metro Council approves mayor's budget proposal
UPDATED 6:26 AM EDT Jun 22, 2012
The Louisville Metro Council has given final approval to Mayor Greg Fischer's budget.
The mayor presented his $512 million spending plan in May, and the Council left most of it unchanged.
It includes money for more police officers and a new library in Valley Station and does not call for any layoffs or furloughs.
The only major sticking point was the proposal to give $500,000 to the Whiskey Row project.
In a statement, the mayor thanked the Council for its work, adding that he plans to review the changes.

Four highly successful persons took the stage Monday, March 31 in Student Union Theater of The University of Texas-Pan American to discuss their experiences as members of migrant/seasonal farm worker families during a panel discussion for National Farm Workers Awareness Week, March 28-April 4.
The panel discussion included Dr. Hilda Silva, vice president for Student Affairs, The University of Texas-Brownsville; Salómon Torres, district director of the Office of Congressman Rubén Hinojosa; Laura Cantú, UTPA senior majoring in international business; and Ignacio Ochoa, UTPA senior pursuing a bachelor's degree in applied sciences. Dr. Chad Richardson, UTPA professor of sociology and author, served as moderator.
Silva and Cantú are both alumni of UTPA's College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) while Torres is an alumnus of St. Edward's CAMP. Ochoa benefited from the High School Equivalency Program (HEP) at UTPA.
CAMP is a program that assists migrant students in their first year of college with academic, personal, and financial support.
HEP helps migrant students who have dropped out of school to get their GED.
The panelists described their backgrounds as members of migrant worker families, obstacles common to migrant worker students and what factors helped them achieve their goals.
Ochoa said one of the hardest things about being a migrant worker was leaving family and friends behind.
"However, dream - dream big because your dream can become a reality," Ochoa said.
Torres said he was the youngest of eight children and his family had picked grapes, cotton and many of the fruits and vegetables found locally.
"Moving every year causes you to lose out on the normal school activities that help you develop a track record to compete," Torres said.
Torres credited the persistence of a high school counselor and CAMP in helping him to eventually obtain a law degree from Columbia University.
Asked by Richardson if they had incurred discrimination because of their migrant worker status, Torres responded that discrimination occurred in several ways, including racial, income, geographic and language.
"Anger spiced with self confidence and strong family support", said Torres helped him overcome stereotyping he incurred as a migrant farm worker. Cantú said that the fear of not being successful was an obstacle for her but also stressed the importance of a supportive family and the help from teachers and the University's programs in accomplishing her goals.
Another event in the week long celebration took place Friday, March 28 in the Edinburg Baseball Stadium parking lot where cars were decorated with words and designs of support for the awareness campaign.
Sponsored by the Association of Migrant Students (AMS) at UTPA in conjunction with CAMP and HEP, the car decorating kicked off the series of events to celebrate the contribution of farm workers and to learn about current issues farm workers and their families face in today's society.
"We are trying to bring awareness on campus about migrant issues and some of the situations that some of the migrants go through," said Enedelia Rios, president of the AMS at UTPA. Rios is from a migrant farm worker family but is now majoring in education at UTPA. Rios is also a CAMP alumnus.
Marilyn Hagerty, associate director of CAMP, said that over 300 new migrant students come into the University each fall.
"Programs like CAMP, HEP, and AMS provide a home base for these students - a place where they can find answers to their questions," Hagerty said.
Other festivities planned during the National Farm Worker Awareness Week include a showing of the film "New Harvest - Old Shame" Wednesday, April 2, 11:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m. in the Student Union Theater and a presentation titled "History and Issues of Farm Workers in the United States" Thursday, April 3, Noon-1p.m. also in the Student Union Theater.
For additional information on CAMP, HEP, AMS or other activities during National Farm Workers Awareness Week call 318-5333.

Elkins Rotary Club members were told Monday that a new structure is being built to help deliver technical training necessary to move West Virginia's economy forward.
Located on Interstate 79, the Technology Park in Fairmont has 57,000 square feet devoted to serve as home to the Advanced Technology Center.
The center was funded through the Legislature three years ago and give community colleges greater capacity to accommodate students.

Pierpont Community & Technical College Vice President for Workforce Development Paul Schreffler speaks with Elkins Rotary members Monday about the new Advanced Technology Center and opportunities for life learning. Schreffler, left, speaks with Rotary member Tom Mann.
Paul Schreffler, vice president for Workforce Development with Pierpont Community & Technical College, said the college also offers fun items to help residents be lifelong learners.
"We are facing a perfect storm," Schreffler said. "We have a wide disparity of literacy, numeracy and work place skills among school-aged and adult populations. This disparity means many industry sectors are looking for the same resources."
Schreffler said they look to California to determine what the labor market will be like in 20 years.
He said employers are looking to find good people, and community and technical colleges are designed for and well-positioned to provide qualified graduates for various workplace programs.
"The West Virginia job openings by skill level for 2008 to 2018 will be 23 percent low skill, 29 percent high skill and 48 percent middle skill," Schreffler said. "The middle skill level is where we are trying to concentrate."
According to Schreffler, core industries include energy and allied health, power plant operators, petroleum technology, mechatronics, health information technology and medical laboratory technology.
"We are using innovative learning including immersive technology, simulation of systems and equipment, flexible training space, modular course formats, accelerated programs, integrated credit and non-credit courses, non-traditional scheduling and placing the focus on the customer," Schreffler said. "We can bring in a tractor-trailer or a large piece of equipment to work on skills."
Schreffler said this is an exciting time.
"We are growing to meet the needs of our community," he said.

Triglycerides break down into three glycerols (which are converted into glucose via gluconeogenesis) and one fatty acid. The glycerol components can of course be stored as adipose tissue when an excess of fat calories are consumed like any other sugar, but fatty acids break down into ketones, which are either used or excreted.
So triacylglcerol -> three glycerols + one fatty acid -> glucose -> stored body fat

According to the minutes of the April 2 Ormond Beach City Commission meeting, the mayor said Stockton, Calif., recently became the largest city to file for bankruptcy in the U.S. Kelley said Stockton was almost a billion dollars in debt and was driven to that primarily by unfunded pension liabilities.

The company, which runs ShopRite grocery stores, earned $6.5 million, or 47 cents per Class A share, for the period ended April 28. That's up sharply from $1.7 million, or 12 cents per share, a year earlier.
Revenue increased to $347 million from $316.6 million as it opened two new stores in Maryland and acquired a store in Old Bridge, N.J.
Village Super Market said that sales are still being hurt by economic uncertainty, increased gas prices and high unemployment, which has led more shoppers to trade down to cheaper goods.
Revenue at stores open at least a year climbed 3.8 percent. This figure is a key gauge of a retailer's health because it excludes results from stores recently opened or closed.
For the fourth quarter, the Springfield, N.J. company anticipates revenue at stores open at least a year will rise 1.5 percent to 3 percent.
Village Super Market had 29 stores under the ShopRite name in New Jersey, Maryland and Eastern Pennsylvania at quarter's end.

Coordinated by the Phoenix school district transportation department, this 2nd annual Safety Expo brought together local agencies for an afternoon of awareness, learning, fun, and prizes. In addition to school transportation and bus safety exhibits, other agencies participating included the Traffic Safety Council, the local fire department, the Phoenix Police Department and the Department of Transportation.
Visitors who stopped by for the afternoon of events were given a Safety Expo punch card and were encouraged to stop by at least four of the exhibits learning about topics such as bicycle safety, winter-related bus safety, staying safe in snowy weather conditions and the dangers of snow banks.
Pupils who visited at least four exhibits returned their punched cards to the Transportation Department and were entered to win prizes.

Editor's Note: The American Cancer Society Relay For Life movement is the world's largest support group for survivors. Communities across the country come together every year to hold more than 5,200 Relay For Life events in celebration of those continuing to fight and those who have won. In honor of Mifflin-Juniata's 20th Annual Relay For Life, local survivors are reaching out to the community with their own stories. Georgianna Buchanan, of Belleville, shares her survivor story:
"In June of 2007, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. No one wants to hear those words from their doctor, but now that I had, I needed to decide how to deal with it. I took the news fairly well, but my husband and youngest daughter had to be consoled.
"My first thoughts were about my two daughters and I wanted to protect them as much as any mother can. My older daughter is mentally challenged and I told her the least amount possible. When I went for surgery in July, I told her that I needed an operation for an infection. I had a mastectomy and some involvement in the lymph nodes.
"After the surgery, I had everything scanned - my heart, my bones, the sentinel lymph node - and had a PET Scan to see if there was cancer elsewhere in my body. Toward the end of September, I began an aggressive chemotherapy treatment. The doctors promised me that I would not get sick and I didn't. I did, however, have bone pain from my shoulder blades to my toes and each time the pain started to subside, it was time for another treatment.
"After my second treatment, I met some of my friends and we went away for three days on a quilting retreat. They were surprised that I could do something like that. They took good care of me. Though they didn't want to join 'the sisterhood' of breast cancer survivors, they prayed for me during recovery. My quilting friends are very special people to me, with big hearts and bright smiles.
"During my treatment, I tried to work half days, but people came into my office with colds and the flu and I was susceptible to all of it. I decided to stay home until my treatments were finished. I went back to work in January 2008 and did not miss another day until I retired in April 2011.
"I continued receiving six weeks of radiation treatments until April 2008. I still deal with the after effects in my fingers and feet. I also have lymphodema and have to be very careful with my arm. I had to visit my surgeon once a year for five years until, in May 2012, he considered me a survivor.
"I feel healthy and grateful to be cancer free. It's not an easy road to walk, but my mantra is you need 'faith, family and friends' beside you when you do. Our friends and family brought meals, flowers and fruit baskets. I received so many cards filled with well wishes. One card had an analogy that said it was too bad life doesn't have a remote control to fast forward through the bad times. That one really sticks with me.
"Being cancer free has allowed me to attend my daughter's wedding in June 2009. I also became a very proud grandmother of our little Noelle who was born in December 2012.
"Each year, I attend the Pink Zone Basketball Game at Penn State with my family. I also create small quilted items which are given to survivors during Relay for Life. Last year, I was asked to carry the torch for Relay for Life. I was so honored.
"As of February 2009, there were 103,000 women in Pennsylvania with breast cancer. There are a lot of other cancers out there, so that number could be tripled at least. I hope they find a cure in my lifetime for all the children of survivors and any future patients.
"Celebrate each day! Count your blessings and know that God has given you the blessing of life."

Mydas fly
The Mydidae (alternative spelling Mydaidae), or Mydas flies, are a cosmopolitan family of flies. It is a small family, with about 471 species described.[1] They are generally large in size, including, in fact, the largest known fly, Gauromydas heros (syn. Mydas heros). Many of the species, in addition to their large size, are mimics of stinging hymenopterans, especially wasps. Most mydids are found in arid and semi-arid regions of the world,[1] but they are also found in other habitats. They are infrequently encountered as the adult lifespan can be quite short. Little is known about their biology, though the larvae of some species appear to be subterranean predators of ants.
For terms see Morphology of Diptera.
Mydids are medium-sized to very large flies (9-60 millimeters in body length). The abdomen is long and cylindrical in section. It is slightly tapered apically in the male, and usually widest at segment 4 in the female. The second segment of the antenna forms a club. Mydids are sparsely pilose, and lack bristles except on the legs. The hindleg is much longer and stronger than either the middle leg or the foreleg and the hind femur is usually swollen and bears ventral spines. The hind tibia has an apical spur or bristles. The wings are long, and narrow to wide. Most of the veins end in the upper margin before the apex.
The classification of the family has changed fairly recently, with the inclusion of a few genera that were previously placed in the family Apioceridae. Apiocerids have long been given the common name "flower-loving flies", but only the group of "flower-loving flies" that actually visit flowers were transferred to the Mydidae. Among the genera transferred is Rhaphiomidas, which includes one of the few Diptera on the United States' Endangered Species List, the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly (Rhaphiomidas terminatus abdominalis).

--and two little dogs wanting to go out....
--where we found this
|the watchamacallit bushes adorned
|the tree at the corner of the house
I find that mess breathtakingly beautiful --spectacular. Every blade of grass, every tree branch, the chain link fence, even the storm window laced with fronds of frost. It is breaking off the branches above the house and falling on the roof, which causes the dogs to bark and scamper to the door, again and again... --although after the 25th time, I think they finally 'got' it --they would find nothing at the door. So now they just sit, ears erect...
If there were children in the house, I would tell them it was Santa practicing making a run on the roof.
And there was also this in my inbox, posted by a friend on Facebook:
|The Colbert Report
|Mon - Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c
|The Word - Sisters Are Doing It to Themselves
She posted it, because half way through the 'commentary' on the screen says, Hey God, it's me, Margaret, and she thought of me, said Colbert must be paying attention!
Well... somehow I doubt that. But the video itself is bitingly funny --of course. Women, you are doing it to yourselves! The same could be said about the poor, you know. Hey, you poor people, if you are miserable, abject and stuck, it's YOUR FAULT.
--and a callous observation would prove it true.... it does appear that many do 'do it to themselves.' You are poor because you drink. You are poor because you didn't pay attention in school. You are poor because you chose to quit your job to attend to your religious ceremony because your boss wouldn't give you time off. You are poor because you are lazy. Being poor is your fault. All. Your. Fault.
Actually, I can see clearly that poverty is like an endless cycle in a computer glitch, that little circle round and round in the middle of the screen and no way out except to reboot --and there are choices made in the cycle of poverty that don't make sense unless you are desperately poor. Yes, being with family and doing ceremony ARE more important than a hard-scrabble go no-where grunt job. One brings joy and life and dignity. The other is supposed to --but in the end, does not.
Frankly --I think our folks that scrub toilets and floors, folks that pick up garbage, folks that harvest our food --folks that do the stuff no one wants to do but we would all be really messed up if they didn't do it, they should get the CEO pay and benefits. Just sayin'.
At prayer this morning (from 1 Corinthians 4)
For who sees anything different in you?
What do you have that you did not receive?
And if you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift?
We are fools for the sake of Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute. To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed and beaten and homeless, and we grow weary from the work of our own hands.
When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when slandered, we speak kindly. We have become like the rubbish of the world, the dregs of all things, to this very day.
I am not writing this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you....
Hey God, it's me, margaret. Open my eyes to the work before me --help me see as you see --without going blind or crazy or some such other disaster, okay? Thank you for the wonder and spectacular display of the cold on every twig and branch today. Thank you. Thank you for the heart and will of the people I serve. Thank you for the experience of alcoholism/addiction in our family --that I might know the heart break and serve accordingly. Thank you for making us homeless that summer a long time ago --that I might know the endurance and creativity it takes to be homeless, and serve accordingly. Thank you for the poverty we have suffered, the indignity we have known, our own ignorance --that we might know more fully the gifts of the Spirit. God, thank you for brokenness. So, now I will rise, and go and do all those things before me... because of the well of joy I have discovered --a gift, not mine, I know.
Thank you.
And, please keep the P family in your prayers. We will do a comfort service tonight. And please keep the D family in your prayers as they begin the long walk to the graveside to bury their beloved daughter.
(A member of the D family said, we can only cry so hard so long --I mean after all, she was on loan --she didn't belong to us.... Wow... to begin grieving there....)

Architects and engineers from HOK / Vanderweil showcased their creativity and sustainable design expertise with a winning net zero building retrofit design in Metropolis magazine's Next Generation® Design Competition 2011. Young designers were challenged to develop net zero energy solutions for a 46-year-old federal office building in downtown Los Angeles. In alignment with President Barack Obama's mandate that federal agencies lower their greenhouse gas emissions, the building's owner, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), has a goal of reducing building emissions 30% by 2020.
HOK / Vanderweil's 'Process Zero: Retrofit Resolution', a retrofit design process, reduces the building's overall energy demand by 84% while generating the remaining 16% on-site. The design uses proven energy conservation and renewal strategies, including atria and light wells that bring daylight into workspaces, integrated louvers for natural ventilation, a new facade with 35,000 sq ft of photovoltaic film, 30,000 sq ft of rooftop solar collectors that circulate water through floors to help with climate control, and office equipment operated by a cloud computing system.
The design team's breakthrough idea, believed to be an architectural first, uses energy-producing microalgae to help power the building. The biomimetic-inspired design proposes a 25,000 sq ft microalgae bioreactor system that generates 9% of the renovated federal building's power supply. A modular system of algae tubes wraps the building and absorbs the sun's radiation to produce lipids for fuel production on-site, simultaneously shading interior office spaces. This photobioreactor transforms the building into a living entity.
"What is particularly remarkable about this solution was how a large, interdisciplinary team collaborated on a comprehensive plan that not only achieves net zero, but also deploys its design and technical solutions in a humanistic and contextually integrated way," said Metropolis Editor-in-Chief Susan S. Szenasy. The HOK / Vanderweil team will reinvest its $10,000 prize as seed money for further research and development of its proposed renewable energy technologies.

Derek Bok of Harvard University once said, "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance". I can say that, in spite of the student loans incurred during my college years, Mr. Bok is correct. Now you may ask, "What does this have to do with C-Arms?" So glad you asked...
Looking to educate myself and eliminate a little ignorance, I recently researched some information on c-arm shielding, wondering: Does my C-Arm require lead shielding? Unfortunately, some of the initial information I came across was conflicting and because the truth was only discovered after quite a bit of research, I felt prompted to write this article to help others going through this same process.
Honestly, there is no straightforward answer to our titular question. Regulations concerning shielding vary in a number of ways, so much that I've decided the best way for any c-arm user to answer it is with three more questions. Answering these questions on your own or with the help of a credible c-arm vendor will help you educate yourself and reduce the risk of shelling out big money over those "I dunno" moments.
1. What state are you in?
Visit your state's Radiation Protection homepage and read the regulations surrounding shielding. Requirements often vary by modality, so make sure you are reading about fluoroscopy. Some states do not require shielding at all but have other requirements that must be met. Take Texas for instance; there are no shielding requirements for a c-arm, but you do have to monitor dose output for a year after installation.
Then there are states like Ohio where the shielding requirements are not on the website. In order to know what shielding is needed you must call out a physicist to evaluate the site and tell you what you need.
2. Where in the building will the C-Arm be operating?
Florida is a great example of the relevance of this question. If you are shooting less than 200 kVp, no shielding plan review is required. If you are shooting higher than 200 kVp, the level of shielding will depend on the size of your room and its location within the building. The typical requirement in Florida is 1/32nd of an inch lead lining or double drywall- no permanent barrier needed.
3. Will you be moving your unit from room to room or will it be stationary?
The state of Georgia is a good example of why this is important information to know ahead of time. The website of Georgia's Department of Community Health says, "Shielding designs for all x-ray installations must be submitted to the DCH for review and approval with the exception of bone densitometry and some portable units. C-arm units that are used in a fixed location require submittal of a shielding design."
So, for the main moral of this article, back to the quote "If you think education is expensive, try ignorance". Don't let ignorance be the reason you are fined for not meeting your state's requirements on shielding. Not every state makes it easy to find (c'mon Ohio) but the information is out there if you look hard enough. Contact me if you need assistance and I will try my best to help. We are in this together… you matter to us!

New option from Millcreek school leaders includes no closures for 2013-14
The head of Millcreek schools presented a new option Monday night that he said would "buy time" and include no school closures for next school year as the district tries to tackle a projected $8.8 million budget deficit for 2013-14.
Assistant Superintendent William Hall told Millcreek School Board members at a special meeting of the board's Finance Committee that Instructional Support Advisor and Intervention Specialist positions would be eliminated across the district as part of the new proposal.
Hall did not indicate Monday night how many of those counseling positions would be cut or how much money it would save the district.
Hall, who is leading the district with Superintendent Michael Golde on medical leave and set to resign, said that "aggressive budget projections" would also save about $400,000.
He added that field trips in the district, which annually cost more than $222,000, could be another source for savings.
"We're looking at this as a one-year fix. We're all feeling the pinch," Hall told the committee Monday.
"This does not address a long-term strategic plan to maximize our efficiency as a district. This will buy time, but we'll be back here again next year talking about the same stuff," he added. "But we buy time, and slow this process down a bit."
Hall has said the board needs to consider closing Vernondale Elementary School or Ridgefield Elementary School or both schools -- or, alternatively, restructuring the district's three middle schools -- as the board tangles with the projected budget deficit.
The administration has already identified $4.1 million in possible savings, through staffing cuts and other measures, but a $4.7 million gap remains. Closing both elementary schools could save the district $2.4 million, Hall has said.
The district will still hold a scheduled public hearing on the possible closure of Ridgefield and Vernondale on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at McDowell Intermediate High School, 3320 Caughey Road.
The state Department of Education requires such a hearing if any district is considering a closure.
Community members, parents, students and staff of both Ridgefield and Vernondale have shown up in force at previous board, committee and community meetings to speak out against closure.
Board members said Monday that they expect to see the same at Wednesday's hearing.
"I expect a lot of emotion," School Director Judy Wheaton said. "There's an awful lot of personal investment from individuals because of their children and because of their emotions tied to something that has been a part of their neighborhood and life for a number of years."
Board President Terry Scutella said he expects parents and community members to offer ideas or ask to delay any closure.
"I would be upset if they didn't, because they're representing their children. They're scared. All the suggestions we have, we're looking into them. It's not a snap judgment. If you do A, you have to see how it affects B and C. ... It just takes time."
About 100 Millcreek residents, including several children, attended Monday night's special meeting.
Hall told the board's finance committee that his new option provides time to develop a long-range strategy to address school closings, boundaries and renovations, and to enlist additional community engagement with the process.
"We'd be comforted in knowing the difficult decision was not rushed. We're all losing sleep over this," Hall said. "Me, personally, I go back and forth about what's best, long-term and short-term. This plan also comes at a price. Any decision is not easy."

Those new MacBook notebooks look pretty sweet right now. Oh sure, buying a new notebook is not really a needed thing right now. Still, I would certainly not mind using one with a dual-boot running OS X and Windows XP. The specs are attractive enough and I would even consider it a nice change from my typical everyday notebook usage.
In reality, the only concern that would prevent me from going full stream ahead to the MacBook Pro versus MacBook would be the understanding what the actual battery life is. With the Pro's offered screen size, I am concerned about the provided battery life being pretty poor.
On the desktop front however, I would not really have a need to drop Windows just yet. Besides still being pretty dependent on specific Windows based software for a variety of projects, I have recently become hooked on a new PC repair simulator that I have been feeling pretty good about. The simulator's entire display is 100% interactive, so give it some clicks and let me know how the repair goes, fair enough?
It's true, most of the time repairing computers totally lacks the "tactile feedback" that people such as myself have come to expect. The simulator linked above pretty much nails it on the head I believe. Enjoy and I'll see you tomorrow!

Nice appartment in the city center! Everything is close, a supermarket, ... You can go everywhere on foot because it is right in the center. We had a good stay here.
Marvelous apartment, the landlady Diane is extremely pleasant and efficient. Everything worked smoothly.
Highly recommended
The flat was pleasantly decorated and clean. Good location, just by Notre Dame and Boulevard St Michel, and this is a very good asset of course. Unfortunately a very noisy musical bar underneath in the street played loud music until the early hours in the morning. Three of the rings in the cooker did not work from the very beginning of our stay, and the handbook instructions about this particular appliance were not too precise, so we had to work out how to operate the only working ring, it took a while. We indicated this to the agency, but the cooker was not repaired during our stay. The coffee machine did not work from the very beginning of our stay, but it was replaced a couple of days after we arrived. The area is full of restaurants of all types and prices. For us a good point was bookshops nearby, and walking distance from the Centre Pompidou library. The flat was well furnished with plates and pots. The shower cubicle is rather comfortable in size, and the main bed is big and provided with a comfortable mattress. The heating system was efficient. There is a big television set. Wifi internet worked only sporadically for the first half of our stay, but it was fine in the last few days. All in all, we had a pleasant stay despite the problems indicated here.
recommendable !
nice apartment, with an excellent location. It was fully equipment and an adorable furnitures. No noisy, even been in the latin district, but no views and weak wifi. To summ up, we recommend the apartment.
The apartment is very well located. It is steps away from Notre Dame. It was clean and orderly as shown in the pictures. It is located on a very busy night life street so gets noisey at night and stays noisey until very late. In fact, in the same building on the street level is a guy strip club which attracts a lot of excited and drunk girls which stays open until 4AM. It is also close to the busy street along the river whichs producers a lot of highway noise. If you can close the windows and block out the noise it is great.
Great apartment. Very clean and excellent location. Close to metro, easy walking to many sights. Staff was responsive and quick to attend to our needs. Would stay here again! Only thing to consider in the heat of the summer is that with windows open it would be noisy from the street.
Great appartment and smooth organisation. Good place to stay in the heart of Paris!
We were a group of 6 adults and a 4 yr old and stayed in the apartment for 5 nights.
Plus points- great location, the apartment was on the 4th floor and there was no disturbance from the road below, unless u left all the windows open. Even then not too bad.the apartment was newly refurbished and all the fittings were good.
There is one bedroom with a double bed which is a good size. The second double bed is in the mezzanine level with no doors. The mezzanine level has a ensure but with no toilet.
The sofa bed was of vey good quality and had a proper mattress.towels and fresh sheets were provided. There was internet available.there was good communication from them. An agent named Christian was there to welcome us and went through the fittings with us. My fault was to rush him through it and not get all the details.
Minus points- not a lot really. The lift to the apartment is from the first Floor and can only fit 2 people at a time or one with luggage. Not a real problem. The main problem was that there was only one toilet,As we were the first people to stay there after refurbishment there were a few niggling issues which I am sure they will sort out

Five things about our local college sports scene
November 9, 2009 - Zach Baker
Just some quick observations from this week:
1. I've written much over the past five years in praise of Heidelberg volleyball/wrestling coach Jason Miller.
But it's hard enough to coach one team --in one sport -- to the top 25 in Division III. Miller has done it in the same year with two different teams and two different sports.
Miller's a local guy -- a Hopewell-Loudon graduate. I often wonder where he gets the drive from. But because the teams are so good, I'm sure many people are glad he has it.
2. Rudy Brownell wanted to nothing to do with credit Saturday when I called him about his Tiffin University men's soccer team.
The Dragons had just won the GLIAC Tournament. Brownell praised his players, then asked if I could mention some people in the story, everyone from TU President Paul Marion to AD Lonny Allen to the school's SID Shane O'Donnell.
I told him I'd see what I could do. As it turned out, the thank-yous didn't make it in the recap. But rest assured that if you helped TU's soccer team get to the point where it is, Brownell hasn't forgotten you.
Brownell is always modest. He doesn't have much reason to be after leading the Dragons to back-to-back GLIAC Tournament titles. As the TU women's soccer coach, he led the Dragons to the D-II playoffs last year, and there's reason to believe that had they beaten Saginaw Valley State in the tournament semis Friday, they'd be in again.
When you look at the difficulty some of TU's other sports have had in the GLIAC, you have to give Brownell and his staff credit.
Even though they'd probably be happy to share it.
3. Mayer Field is far from a finished product, but it was a nice setting for Heidelberg's football game Saturday vs. Marietta. I will admit that I got tired of typing "the first time Heidelberg's played on campus in 64 years," since it felt like I typed it 1,000 times last week.
That's my fault. I should have tried a different phrase, like: "the same number as that Beatles song on Sgt. Pepper's."
What impressed me most was how players like Matt Grieves, Kenny Sims and Jemar Lewis all seemed to understand the value of playing on campus.
They all thanked coach Mike Hallett and even new president Robert Huntington for making it happen. So many teams play on campus that it's probably taken for granted. These guys wanted people to know how much they appreciated the chance.
4. Speaking of Lewis and Sims, it's now three straight weeks they've each rushed for more than 100 yards. Heidelberg is 3-0 in those games.
I first noticed Sims during his freshman year of 2006. At that time, he was a wide receiver. Heidelberg didn't win a game that season, but Sims was exciting to watch when he got the ball.
Hallett, upon taking over in 2007, shifted Sims to running back. He shined in the role, making the all-conference team.
Lewis was a transfer from Ashland who made his debut in Hallett's first game, a win over Oberlin that broke the team's 36-game losing streak.
Lewis was the star of that game, and afterwards was praising Hallett for putting him in the position to be it.
Saturday he also deflected the credit for his performance to Hallett and his offensive line. I keep hoping Jemar will one day say "you know, I'm a pretty good running back."
But I doubt that will happen. Then again, he doesn't have to say what we already know.
5. Tiffin's football team finished its season 0-11. I'll admit I thought TU would improve on its one-win season a year ago, but I'm not surprised by the finish.
In truth, TU was better last season, if only because it had more experience in key positions. I still believe that this year's Dragons team was very talented. But it was young, and had to learn what it took to play at this level.
I think TU will be better next year. In many ways, this was the first year of rebuilding, with freshmen all over the place. Next year, coach Dave Walkosky will have a group with more experience, starting with quarterback Nate Scully.

Waitrose sings out for local music groups
The three Waitrose branches in Jersey are inviting local music groups and choirs to come forward to apply for £1,500 worth of funding.
The grant is part of the John Lewis Partnership 'Music Matters' scheme, which invites branches to nominate a local musical activity for a significant one off contribution.
In order to choose the lucky project they will support, Waitrose are calling for submissions to be made to them direct by any local musical group in need of financial support for a specific project or initiative. Applications will need to have been made by 21 March, 2014.
Last year Waitrose Red Houses was one of the fifty Waitrose branches that were successful with their bids and it was the first such grant to be awarded in the Channel Islands to Jersey's 'Church Music' choir The Cantabile Ensemble.
The grant helped to underwrite a concert to be held in All Saints Church last June. The concert was conducted by Philip Stopford, one of the UK's leading composers and conductors of sacred music.
Duncan Langston, branch manager for Waitrose St Saviour, said: "Music is an important feature of life in every community and we have a long standing tradition of supporting projects of this sort. After the success of The Cantabile Ensemble it is fantastic to be able to support projects across the island through the Music Matters scheme, encouraging this art form within the island."
Two completed application forms from each branch will be forwarded to the UK where they will decide which applicants will receive funding.
Forms are available by emailing Carrie Slowie on firstname.lastname@example.com or in branch at the customer services desk. Specific events or projects and all music types will be considered although the event should not be commercially self-supporting or routine events, e.g. school concerts, but application from all sections of the community are welcome.

Five people were taken to an area hospital Thursday after smelling gas at a Woodland Walmart.
The Woodland Fire Department was called to the store just around 9:30 a.m. and evacuated the building after a plumber was attempting to determine where the leak came from.
Eight people also became ill as a strong smell of gas wafted throughout the store, the fire department said. Some were treated on site.
Pacific Gas and Electric was also called and shut off gas to the building.
The scene was cleared just after 11:30 a.m.
The store, located at 1720 E. Main St., was expected to be closed until the leak is located and repaired.

Jimmy Lee "Jim" Chancler Sr., 76, of Amarillo died Sunday, June 25, 2006.
Services will be at 10 a.m. Thursday in Second Baptist Church with Dr. Charles Jones, pastor of Hollywood Road Community Church, officiating. Burial will be in Llano Cemetery with military rites by the U.S. Marine Corps. Arrangements are by Schooler-Gordon Funeral Directors Bell Avenue Chapel, 5400 S. Bell St.
Mr. Chancler was born Jan. 3, 1930, in Mangum, Okla., to Sam and Nancy Bertha Leard Chancler. He was the seventh of 10 children.
Mr. Chancler graduated from New Home High School, south of Lubbock. After graduation he entered the U.S. Marine Corps and was a very proud veteran of the Korean War.
He married Harriet Jane Kelly Chancler, formerly of Waukegan, Ill., on May 30, 1953, in Los Angeles. They are the proud parents of six children.
Mr. Chancler moved to Amarillo in 1962 after residing in other towns when first discharged from the Marines. Jim and Harriet lived primarily in north Amarillo and their children attended Hamlet Elementary, Palo Duro and River Road schools.
Jim worked in the floor covering business for many years at Amarillo Floors prior to opening his own business in 1975. A-1 Floors first opened on West Amarillo Boulevard. Mr. and Mrs. Chancler both worked at the business and retired in 1995. More recently the Chancler sons operate the business, now located on Hillside Road near Coulter Street.
Jim enjoyed being with family, attending Marine Corps reunions and keeping in contact with family, friends and fellow Marines. Jim and Harriet would travel often. Jim regularly attended local veterans celebrations around town and at the V.A. Hospital. His love for family and country was unmatched. Jim valued hard work, honest effort and a sincere spirit.
Survivors include his wife of 53 years, Harriet; a brother, Ray Chancler, three sisters, Helen Slaght, Faye Carter and Kathey Renfroe; six children, Susan Chancler Hooker and husband Mark of Amarillo, Karen Chancler of Fairbanks, Alaska, Mark Chancler, Kelly Chancler and wife Bonnie and Jimmy Chancler Jr. and wife Misti, of Amarillo, and Julie Chancler of Kingsville; 16 grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

Gift from Class of 1951 will help to
strengthen libraries in four city schools
The Yale College Class of 1951 has donated $10,000 to the New Haven Public Schools to buy books and other materials for four school libraries/media centers.
The gift by the alumni group was made at the request of author and humorist Calvin Trillin '57 B.A., who spoke at the annual class dinner this year. Rather than accept an honorarium, Trillin asked that a contribution be made to the New Haven Public Schools.
This is not the first time that a New Haven organization has benefited as a result of Trillin's popularity as a speaker. In 1990 the former Yale trustee presented a one-man show at Yale titled "Words No Music" that raised more than $20,000 for the New Haven Free Public Library.
The $10,000 gift to the city's schools was made thanks to the leadership of Daniel Rose, a member of the Class of 1951 and a well-known leader in real estate and civic service in New York City. In fact, Rose is the founder of the Harlem Education Activities Fund, a partnership program that supports academic programs for students in Harlem public schools.
In recognition of the partnerships that Yale and the New Haven Public Schools have established together, the $10,000 gift will be distributed equally among four schools with strong University-community partnerships. They are:
* Timothy Dwight Elementary School, where Yale supports the school's literary initiatives through the America Reads Challenge Program;
' * East Rock Global Studies K-8 Magnet School, which works with the Yale Center for International and Area Studies;
* Hill Regional Career High School, an academic partner with the Schools of Medicine and Nursing; and
* Cooperative Arts and Humanities Regional Magnet High School, which has a strong collaboration with the School of Music.
"This gift further affirms the spirit and reality of partnership between the New Haven Public Schools and Yale University," said Reginald Mayo, superintendent of schools. "The generosity of the Yale alumni in the Class of 1951 and the leadership of Calvin Trillin and Daniel Rose will do much to help our schools provide students with the tools they need to read independently and well. Literacy is a key priority for the New Haven Public Schools, and this gift will help us achieve our goals."
Bernadette Strode, principal of Timothy Dwight Elementary School, said, "The library/media center at Dwight is a vital center for all of our students. This wonderful gift will help us as we develop and maintain a first-class collection for our students and provide expanded resources for our teachers and the tutors who work with our children every day."

Owen Pallatt – Heartland
Formerly going by the moniker Final Fantasy, Owen Pallett has now decided to continue forth with his latest musical project under the name Owen Pallett. Fitting, as it is a solo affair… even despite the overwhelming orchestral sounds on his Domino Records' debut, Heartland.
Heartland sounds like the soundtrack for the drive to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory — not the film, but the act of actually driving there. Pallett's haunting tones echo in and out while his violin swirls around, its grand orchestral peaks taking you to spectacular musical soundscapes.
Sometimes these orchestral indie affairs can get a bit lost and meandering, but no need to worry on this tour, as Pallett knows full well what he is doing. He co-wrote the string arrangements for a couple Arcade Fire albums, after all.
Or, at least through five tracks, Pallett knows exactly what he is doing. "The Great Elsewhere" adopts a sudden IDM influence and Pallett jumps a bit too far into the electronic stratosphere. The orchestral influences are still there, but the frenzied synthesizer beat and quick drumbeats just don't really fit in with the album as a whole. Not to say the song isn't good. On the contrary, it might be one of the most fun on the album, with its quick jarring opening into a synth layer that slowly builds amongst flashes of distortion.
Songs like "Lewis Takes Off His Shirt" showcase Pallett's use of the synthesizer layers better. It is a soothing, quirky orchestral jig which powers along a very simple beat and uses horns to help tell the story. But it's Pallett's voice that really shines in this track; everything melds in perfectly and really showcases the power of Heartland.
When Pallett has it figured out — and mind you, he has a lot of instruments at work here — Heartland can be a calming listen which still maintains a complete stranglehold on your ears. Listening to Pallett croon about how he will never give it to you makes you really wonder what he is holding back, because this track is pure indie pop bliss.
Heartland is a really great way to open a new decade of indie pop, and Pallett has firmly established himself at the forefront of this very gentle charge. Outside of a few lapses in awareness of just where he stands musically, Heartland is a fine example of how good orchestral pop can be when done right. And even when he does it a bit wrong, it still makes for great pop music.

Alleged PlayStation 4 controller reports surface
Reports and rumors about Sony's next-generation PlayStation, typically known as the PlayStation 4 (PS4), have been flying for months now.
Previously, a number of reports claimed the PlayStation 4 might lose the DualShock game pad design we're familiar with from the current generation PS3. The latest speculation?
Well, according to the most recent round of rumors concerning the controller, the PlayStation 4 will employ a device that is "more or less" the same shape as the PS3 controller.
However, there will be some significant differences for the new game console, namely the Start and Select buttons in the center will be moved to make room for a touchpad. The rumors also claim the L2 in our R2 shoulder buttons have been remodeled, with the previously alleged "Share" button phased out before production.
As you may recall, reports of a Share button was first mentioned by a publication known as Edge, which claimed: "A new Share button on the controller will, when pressed, launch a new feature that will allow screenshots and video to be distributed online. The PS4 hardware will continually record the most recent 15 minutes of onscreen action (with no processing penalty, claims our source), which users will then be able to edit and broadcast via the Internet."
As expected, game studio executives have previously stated that the PlayStation 4 controller has undergone numerous redesigns, which would indicate that there's a high chance the controller could change yet again. The console is expected to officially launch in late 2013 in the US.

As he sat in the San Francisco International Airport waiting for the plane that would restart his career, Kurt Suzuki was excited.
The Oakland Athletics traded the veteran catcher and 2001 Baldwin High School graduate to the Washington Nationals for another catcher, prospect David Freitas, on Friday. The A's are including cash in the deal to pay for part of Suzuki's contract.
"I wasn't expecting it, I thought there was a chance at the trade deadline I would be moved," he said while waiting for his flight to Washington. "Since it has passed it kind of caught me off-guard a little bit.

KURT SUZUKI, traded to Nationals
AP file photo
"I have had a great run in Oakland. I was drafted there, it is the only organization I have known. They gave the opportunity to become the player I am today."
Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo scouted Suzuki in college at Cal State Fullerton, where he led the Titans to the College World Series title in 2004 and was the Johnny Bench Award winner as the nation's top catcher.
"He's one of the best catch-throw defensive catchers in the game," Rizzo said on the Nationals' website. "We feel that his upside with the bat is going to be good. He's hot right now. He hit very well in July, so we think we're getting a hot hitter that can handle the staff and a guy who's in the Gold Glove conversation each and every year he's been a major leaguer."
Suzuki leads American League catchers in fielding percentage (.996), runners caught stealing (23) and caught-stealing percentage (38.3).
Nationals manager Davey Johnson said Suzuki will immediately become the club's starting catcher. Johnson managed Suzuki during the qualifying tournament for the 2008 Olympics.
"When Mike brought it up to me that Oakland would move Suzuki, I said, 'Man, that would definitely bolster our catching corps,' " Johnson said on the website.
Friday's trade reunites Suzuki with pitcher Gio Gonzalez, who the Nationals acquired from the A's in the offseason.
"I have a little history with those guys, now I am looking forward to working with the Nationals," Suzuki said. "I am looking forward to working with a pitching staff that is incredibly talented. Going to a team in first place, I am just looking to do whatever I can to help out."
Suzuki, 28, is hitting .218 with one homer and 18 RBIs this season. He was no longer the No. 1 catcher for the A's, splitting time with Derek Norris and recently acquired George Kottaras.
Suzuki is the second Maui-born major leaguer to be traded this week, joining Shane Victorino, who was dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers from Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Because the deal was done after Tuesday's trade deadline, Suzuki had to clear waivers before being moved. He has a four-year, $16.25 million contract, which runs through 2013 with a 2014 option.
He signed the deal in July 2010.
Suzuki is the highest draft pick in Maui County history, going in the second round to Oakland in 2004. He has a .254 career batting average with 57 homers and 302 RBIs in six major league seasons.
"He's a guy that can really, really take that rotation and get it going even better than it already is," Rizzo said. "He's caught a lot of really good staffs. He's got a great baseball IQ. He's known in the industry as a great game-caller, a great defensive guy and handler of the staff."
Suzuki said he will not change his approach.
"I will just be myself, a high-energy guy, just having fun," he said. "Do the best I can and bring the best I can to the field."
He said he will miss Oakland.
"I would be lying if I said there wasn't a little bit of sadness, because of all the relationships I have built," he said.
