Funding to Provide Healthcare to Senegalese Women and Children
Senegal's Health and Nutrition Financing Project will provide health and nutrition services to women and children. This project will benefit six regions and 3.5 million people, with the greatest focus being upon impoverished families. Specifically, Senegal hopes this program will be able to significantly improve rates of both low birth weight and iron deficiency anemia.
To improve maternal and neonatal health, this project will provide pregnant women with at least four prenatal exams. To encourage poor women to seek appropriate medical care, the project will also distribute maternal health vouchers. Under this initiative, medical staff will receive additional training so that Senegal can increase the number of skilled medical personnel available to assist in births.
"Senegal has already made great strides in reducing child mortality by tackling childhood malnutrition and malaria, but there has been virtually no change in the maternal mortality rate. The new project will both encourage pregnant women to seek antenatal care and give birth in health facilities, as well as ensure that they receive high-quality services" explained Vera Songwe, Senegal's Country Director for the World Bank.
The project is funded by the World Bank with $22 million being provided by the Health Results Innovation Trust Fund and another $20 million from the International Development Agency.
This development will build upon other healthcare improvements taking place in Senegal over recent years. Most recently, in September of 2013, the government voted to introduce universal health coverage to all citizens by 2017. Free healthcare for all will improve access to medical care for the most impoverished and vulnerable populations. In the meantime, the government has agreed to provide medical services free to all children under the age of five in an effort to decrease morbidity and mortality in very young children sooner rather than later.
The government has proven its commitment to improving health outcomes through its recent success in reducing the incidence and impact of malnutrition. In response to a high level of food insecurity and malnutrition in young children, Senegal cooperated with several international organizations, including WHO, UNICEF and UNESCO, to develop the Joint Programme in 2009. This program reduced malnutrition levels by improving monitoring, promoting healthier feeding through local food sources, and providing children with antiparasitics and micronutrients. The Health and Nutrition Financing Project seeks to continue this trend towards a healthier population.

Dear Annie: I am writing in the hope that my situation will help other women. A year ago, I started experiencing irregular monthly cycles that would last for 20 days at a time. I also had extreme pain and a rapid heart rate. I was told, "You are going through menopause."
After several months of this, my doctor had some blood work done. He had me go immediately to the emergency room for a blood transfusion. At the hospital, I was given a pelvic ultrasound that showed I had polyps that turned out to be endometriosis. Then my life changed. I was diagnosed with endometrial stromal sarcoma and required a complete hysterectomy. During my surgery, the doctor found a five-pound tumor (which explained my unusual weight gain). I have since endured more than 30 radiation sessions and will continue this treatment until the cancer is gone.
I knew I was not yet going through menopause. My symptoms were too extreme. I am grateful that the doctors took the time to figure out what was wrong. I urge all women who are having such symptoms to seek help as soon as possible. Endometrial stromal sarcoma is very treatable.

Dear Grateful: Thank you for alerting women to be vigilant when it comes to their health. There is a support group for survivors of ESS and their loved ones at ess-sarcoma.com. We hope you will look into it, if you haven't already.
Dear Annie: Would you please print this for grandparents everywhere?
Dear Grandparents: You're killing your grandchildren with your kindness. We understand you love them, but you have to stop pumping them full of sugar.
You don't listen to us, so we're hoping Annie passes this along. Your grandkids visited the Saturday before Easter, and you made marshmallow treats together. On Sunday, you watched as they hunted for Easter eggs stuffed with candy and chocolate. As a reward, they received overflowing baskets full of more sweets. Dinner was followed by some sort of whipped-creamy dessert so decadent it made our teeth hurt. Christmas was much the same, with mugs of hot chocolate.
We're learning so much about sugar and its potential for harm in our bodies. Yes, everything in moderation, but you have no filters on your moderation. We could understand if you only saw them once a year, but this scenario plays out weekly because you live nearby. Whipped cream, strawberries and syrup is overkill for morning pancakes. Find pleasure with your grandkids in other ways, please. It will make us all feel better.

An item in the March 13 Tomahawk Leader
Every spring, parents around the country cross their fingers when spring break rolls around and their children flaunt their freedom in beach towns. Is there really any reason for concern with kids sowing their wild oats? The answer is yes, now more than ever before.
Today's spring break scene is drastically different from that of a decade ago, as tour and alcohol companies band together to create travel packages to exotic destinations such as Cancun or Cabos San Lucas where the legal drinking age is only 18. Travel packages often include free admission to clubs and unlimited alcohol, and are promoted using the appeal of limitless drinking and sex. Parents financing spring break trips are usually unaware of these marketing messages sent directly to students.
Spring break is literally the tip of the iceberg when you're talking about the drinking problem among college-aged citizens. According to a report by Dr. Ralph Hingson, now of the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 40 percent of college students indulge in binge drinking. (Binge drinking is five or more drinks within a couple of hours of each other.) Each year, 1,700 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die in alcohol-related accidents including motor vehicle crashes; and 599,000 are unintentionally injured under the influence of alcohol. Not only that, more than 97,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape. More than 150,000 students develop an alcohol-related health problem and between 1.2 and 1.5 percent of students indicate that they tried to commit suicide within the past year due to drinking or drug use. And perhaps most telling, 31 percent of college students met criteria for a diagnosis of alcohol abuse and 6 percent met the criteria of alcohol dependence in the past 12 months, according to questionnaire-based self-reports about their drinking.
Spring break amounts to a national celebration of drug and alcohol abuse among this age group, propelling some individuals on to substance dependence or addiction and related problems.

Vice Admiral Thad Allen, principal federal official and federal coordinating officer for the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco assured residents of southwestern Louisiana that federal, state and local agencies are working together to make sure adequate resources are available should Hurricane Rita cause major damage.
"We are pre-positioning resources such as food, water and meals ready-to-eat , " Allen said. "We have secured supplies for 500,000 people. We are coordinating our efforts to provide emergency transportation to evacuees and identifying out-of-state resources for sheltering purposes."
Allen was joined in a press briefing held today at the Joint Field Office in Baton Rouge by Blanco, who urged residents living on the southwestern coast to evacuate. "I am hoping and praying that people leave. Some people believe they can ride out the storm. Please take heed and go to safe ground, " Blanco said.
United States military forces are also positioned to be able to provide support after the storm hits. Five Navy ships staffed with 800 Marines are located off the coast of Florida and will follow the storm into the Gulf once it makes landfall. Aviation resources will be ready to give immediate search and rescue assistance and medical aid. Helicopters have been moved to southeastern Louisiana.
Federal troops now on duty in New Orleans will remain in place. Four thousand National Guard troops from various states are moving into southwestern Louisiana.
Allen said that his role as the principal federal official and federal coordinating officer is to evaluate resource requests and "make sure that resources get to the right place."
Allen and Blanco were joined at the press conference by Major Gen. Bennett Landreneau with the Louisiana National Guard.
While preparing for Hurricane Rita, response, rescue, recovery and law enforcement personnel continue to work around the clock to bring critical aid to victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Background: There is scant data on young children receiving protease inhibitor–based therapy in real-life resource-limited settings and on the optimal timing of therapy among children who survive infancy. Our aim was to evaluate outcomes at the Hospital del Niño, Panama, where children have been routinely treated with lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r)-based therapy since 2002.
Methods: Retrospective cohort analysis of all HIV-infected children enrolled in care between January 1, 1991, and June 1, 2011. Kaplan–Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression were used to evaluate death, virologic suppression and virologic rebound.
Results: Of 399 children contributing 1944 person-years of follow-up, 254 (63.7%) were treated with LPV/r and 94 (23.6%) were never treated with antiretrovirals (ARVs). Among infants, improved survival was associated with male gender (hazard rate of death[HRdeath] 0.54, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.32–0.92) and treatment with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HRdeath 0.32, 95% CI: 0.12–0.83), whereas residence outside of Panama City was associated with poorer survival (HRdeath 1.72, 95% CI: 1.01–2.94). Among children who survived to 1 year of age without exposure to ARVs, LPV/r-based therapy improved survival (HRdeath 0.07, 95% CI: 0.01–0.33). Virologic suppression was achieved in 42.1%, 70.5% and 85.1% by 12, 24 and 60 months of follow-up among children treated with LPV/r. Virologic suppression was not associated with prior ARV exposure or age at initiation of therapy but was associated with residence outside of Panama City (HR suppression 1.93, 95% CI: 1.19–3.14). Patients with a baseline viral load >100,000 copies/mL were less likely to achieve suppression (HR suppression 0.37, 95% CI: 0.21–0.66). No children who achieved virologic suppression after initiating LPV/r died.
Conclusions: LPV/r-based therapy improved survival not only in infants but also in children over 1 year of age. Age at initiation of LPV/r-based therapy or prior ARVs did not impact virologic outcomes.

MH17: 'I feel physically sick'
This woman says she feels like she has been given a 'second chance' after running late and missing the tragic MH17 flight.
Barry Sim and his wife Izzy were told there were not enough seats on the plane for them and their baby so they switched to a later KLM flight.
Some 298 people were killed when the Malaysia Airlines plane was apparently shot down on the Russia-Ukraine border.
Asked about his response to the crash, Mr Sim, from Scotland, said: "You get this sick feeling in the pit of your stomach [...] We started getting butterflies. Your heartbeat starts going."
Mrs Sim added: "There must have been someone watching over us and saying 'you must not get on that flight'.
"We are very loyal to Malaysia Airlines and we always want to fly with Malaysia Airlines." She added that her husband usually disliked flying with KLM.
"But do you know what, at this moment we are so glad to be on that KLM flight rather than that Malaysia Airlines flight," she said.
Mr Sim said: "In my mind lightning never strikes twice in the same place so I am still philosophical that you get on the flight and you go about your life. I know my wife doesn't feel like that. Probably the last thing she wants to do now is fly, especially to Kuala Lumpur."

Slurm is a free, open source workload manager originally designed for the demanding requirements of national laboratories. It's functionality, scalability, performance and modular architecture have resulted in widespread adoption, with active development occurring at numerous organizations.
Simple configurations can be installed in only a few minutes, while use of optional plugins can support sophisticated scheduling and reporting requirements with easy extensibility. Slurm currently manages the workload on many of the world's most powerful computers.
Slurm was designed to manage heterogeneous clusters with up to millions of processors. It is the workload manager on Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Sequoia supercomputer with 98,304 compute nodes, and has managed emulated systems over 20 times larger. Daemons and commands are extensively multi-threaded. Fault-tolerant, hierarchical communications are used for high performance.
Architectural changes in Slurm version 2.5 have dramatically increased performance. Up to 1000 job submissions per second and throughput up to 600 jobs per second are possible.
Scheduling policies
Slurm supports sophisticated and highly flexible scheduling policies including advanced reservations. A highly configurable Quality of Service (QoS) mechanism is available to satisfy Service Level Agreements (SLAs), for example to preempt lower priority jobs on demand. Resource limits can be applied to hierarchical accounts down to the level of individual users.
Multi-factor prioritization of jobs
Slurm considers many configurable factors when determining a job's priority. When used with native accounting, Slurm can also utilize hierarchical fair-share as a contributing factor. Coordinators can be delegated to manage administration of their sub-trees and allotted limits in the hierarchy to lessen the load on system administrators.
Topology optimizations
Resource allocations are optimized with respect to the topology on a node (NUMA, sockets, cores and threads) with task binding. Resource allocations spanning multiple nodes will also be optimized with respect to the network topology between nodes. For example, the number of leaf switches used can be minimized or an allocation's locality can be optimized with respect to a 3-dimensional interconnect.
Consumable resources
Generic consumable resources can be managed, including GPUs.
Size and time ranges for jobs
Job size and time limits can be specified as a range. Jobs may be granted less than the maximum size and/or time specification if doing so results in earlier job initiation.
Resizable jobs
Jobs can grow and shrink on demand.
Simple configurations can be operational in a couple of minutes, while use of optional plugins provide all of the functionality required at major HPC sites. These plugins support a wide variety of architectures and configurations with easy extensibility. For example, plugins for IBM Blue Gene and Cray systems provide a system-specific interface to those systems in one place while preserving a common code kernel. New plugins have been written by customers for site-specific requirements, for example to optimize use of green energy.
Multi-cluster support
Slurm can be configured to operate across multiple clusters at a site. Workload information is available and jobs can be submitted across clusters.
Graphical User Interface
Slurm's sview tool provides a rich topology-aware system interface.
Event triggers
Arbitrary scripts can be executed when events occur. For example, system administrators can configure a program to notify them when nodes fail.
Power management
Jobs can specify their desired CPU frequency, and power use by job is recorded. Idle resources can be powered down until needed to reduce energy consumption and cost.
Usage accounting
Accounting records for jobs and job steps plus node events can be recorded in a database with various tools available to generated accounting reports. These accounting records can be used to control scheduling to impose usage limits or dynamic fair share policy.
Status running jobs
Slurm is able to status jobs as they run to gather information at the level of individual tasks and help identify load imbalance or other anomalies.
Web-based configuration tools
Build slurm.conf configuration files with a web interface.
Teaching tool
Because Slurm is open source and very modular, it can be used to test different scheduling algorithms or other constructs related to workload management without requiring the student to deal with the other components of a workload manager.
No single point of failure
Each of the Slurm daemons has an optional backup to increase reliability and decrease down time.
Free and open source
Slurm is available under the GNU General Public License v2.

When the 2010 earthquake brought attention to Haiti, which the United Nations Human Development Index calls "the most impoverished nation in the Western Hemisphere," the Denison community, led by its students, raised more than $15,000 for the relief effort.
"Bon Pa Gaspiyé"
At 7 p.m., on Thursday, Nov. 8, a panel discussion will take place featuring artist-photographer Dr. Andrea Baldeck; Dr. Tracee Laing, founding director of Granville's own Healing Art Missions (HAM); Keith W. Hare, HAM's technical consultant for technology, alternative energy, and infrastructure; and Joe Reczek, assistant professor in Denison's chemistry and biochemistry department.
Titled "Bon Pa Gaspiyé," (A good thing is not wasted), the panelists, who share a commitment to advancing community health knowledge and social justice in under-developed communities, will rely on personal experience to document nongovernment organization volunteerism in Haiti.
Whit's, located on Broadway in the village center and a top choice for fans of frozen sweet treats, has created a special flavor called "Heavenly Haiti," a banana custard with coconut and dark chocolate flakes (yum!), which is on sale just for the week of Oct. 22. All the proceeds will benefit Healing Art Missions, a Granville-based medical mission that serves the people of Haiti.
Award-winning Haitian author Edwidge Danticat will read from her latest book "Create Dangerously: The Immigrant Artist at Work," at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 25. Danticat, the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation "Genius" Grant in 2009, is one of the few authors to have been nominated for the National Book Award for both fiction and nonfiction works. She was nominated for a short story collection, "Krik? Krak!" and "Brother, I'm Dying," a nonfiction account of the deaths of her father and her uncle.
The museum hosts two special exhibitions through Saturday, Dec. 8: "Heart of Haiti" and "Resistance and Resiliency in Haitian Art: Selections from the Figge Art Museum."
The first is a collection of black-and-white photographs by a physician turned photographer, Andrea Baldeck. Baldeck was a volunteer anesthesiologist in Haiti in the 1980s and returned in the in the mid 1990s to travel through Haiti with her camera, where she created a haunting series of portraits. "Each photograph is accompanied by a short Creole proverb," says museum director Sherry Harlacher. "The adages provide a moving counterpoint to the dignity, charm and beauty of her Haitian subjects."
The second, a collection of 10 brilliantly colored paintings, explores some of the history of the nation. These works are on loan from Iowa's Figge Art Museum, one of the oldest collections of Haitian art on the globe.

Exactly one week ago, Chuck LaMar sat in the dugout of the triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs a contented man.
That's why the news late Tuesday night that LaMar had resigned after four seasons with the Phillies was absolutely shocking.
He broke the news to general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. and assistant GM Benny Looper during a morning meeting that apparently started with a much different purpose in mind.
"We had a meeting this morning - Benny and I and Chuck - and after having some discussions, it seemed like for Chuck the best situation for him was to go ahead and resign," Amaro said during Tuesday night's game between the Phillies and Braves. "I guess the feeling was this gave him the opportunity to have other pursuits either inside or outside the game. But that's a question you're going to have to ask Chuck."

Toy Story: The Sketchbook Series could be argued to be the most sought after of the Pixar-related books due to the fact that it was released as a limited edition of 2,500 and comes in a classic looking hard book sleeve (or slipcover). Each book comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity and each copy also includes a printed image of Buzz and Woody signed by John Lasseter himself. UPDATED - we have come to find out, because of one of our great readers, that only the first 500 books were signed by John Lasseter - the remaining 2,000 still have the image of Buzz and Woody, but they are not signed (click here to read the full Pixar Pickle story). The book itself (released in the year 2000) measures 11.75 inches tall by 9.56 inches wide by .75 inches thick (29.85 cm x 24.29 cm x 1.91 cm) and its 88 pages (thick card-stock paper) are packed with sketches from Toy Story & Toy Story 2. (Note - The official press release for this book lists it as having 112 pages, but that takes into account blank or section header pages as well, so that's why we count this as 88 pages.)
Unlike the Disney Editions and Chronicle series of books, which contain a fair amount of text, the only text in this book is limited to a few pages of artist acknowledgements (1 page), a foreword by Lasseter (1 page), a congratulations page by Ed Catmull / Sarah McArthur (1 page) and a full list of film credits for Toy Story & Toy Story 2 (4 pages).
- Woody - shows the many phases and faces of Woody's development.
- Buzz Lightyear - great sketches showing his wrist communicator as well as details surrounding how his wrists and ankles would move.
- Jessie - highlights her expressive nature from happy to sad.
- Bullseye - Showing his transition from a slightly realistic looking horse to his current dog-like lovability.
- Rex - Shows the early versions of Rex as a plump dinosaur to an iron-clad beast.
- Mr. & Mrs Potato Head - shows their ever-changing faces of emotion with the switch of their "parts".
- Hamm - Although he was always a portly pig, it doesn't look like he was always intended to be a bank.
- Slinky - The springy dog we know today had a few drawings where he has full wheels attached to his feet.
- Aliens - The little three-eyed guys weren't always green, nor did they always have three eyes.
- Sid's Mutant Toys - A collection of the rag-tag group of toys.
- Green Army Men - As expected, these drawings showcase the hardworking group of soldiers.
- Wheezy - Among others, there is a fun drawing of him being squeezed.
- The Prospector - He seems to have always stayed relatively close to his final look.
- Zurg - If you're a fan of Zurg (and who isn't), there are some great sketches of the early versions of Zurg - who was much more menacing looking (decked out in all black). I also love the early sketch of Zurg on standard lined paper.
- Al, his penthouse and Al's Toy Barn - Great concept drawings of Al in his chicken suit as well as amazing architectural (scale) drawings of his penthouse and exterior of the toy store.
- Zurg's Fortress - Great details surrounding the interior and exterior of his lair with a scale, showing Buzz's height in relation to the environment.
- Andy's House - Another set of amazing architectural drawings of Andy's house as well as some amazingly shaded images of the toys playing by lamp light in the evening.
- Downtown - Shows the building details of the downtown area outside of Al's penthouse.
- Airport - Pixar houses some amazing artists as there are many, very detailed sketches of airports, luggage carts and airplanes.
- Woody's Roundup Art - This is a collection of the artwork that emblazoned the many packages and trinkets when Woody realizes that he was the star of his own television show.
- Toy Barn Toys - These few pages show some funny sketches of other toys from the shelves of Al's Toy Barn - from the Serious Putty (a play on Silly Putty) to the Claude Monet French Impressionists Action Figure, these pages are just pure fun.
So, why did we do a detailed write up on Toy Story: The Sketchbook Series? After we read a review that said that this book helped teach how to draw the characters from the movies, we figured we had to put out as much detail as possible. Also, since there are a limited number of these books out there and since a lot of them still remain sealed, we wanted to bring this book the additional attention that it needs.
As a side note - I would also like to note that there is no official "Art of" or other book dedicated to Toy Story 2 - this is the only book that you will find that truly delves into Toy Story 2.
If you're looking to get your hands on a copy, the easiest place to get one is on Amazon.

Tom Brady on Chad Ochocinco: We all have 'good days and bad days'
|08.05.11 at 5:23 pm ET
FOXBORO — There was no shortage of talk and speculation following Thursday's practice about the four drops that Chad Ochocinco had during the nearly three-hour session.
Quarterback Tom Brady brought some valuable perspective on Friday after a nearly flawless performance by his new star wide receiver when asked if the drops could be attributed to Ocho trying too hard to learn his new routes and responsibilities.
"I think that's just part of training camp," Brady said. "You just have good days and you have bad days. Like I said, the first game isn't in a couple days. There is time to build toward that. No one wants to drop passes, miss blocks, throw interceptions, but we do it, we learn from it, and then hopefully you move forward with less of those the next day, and better days. The consistency is always what you're looking for."
Brady has had a full week to work with Ocho and one thing that sticks out is No. 85's competitive desire to get better with each practice. And it was in a goal line situation that Ocho showed Brady and Bill Belichick that competitive intensity, shaking off Devin McCourty and cutting to the back of the end zone, finding just a sliver of space in the back, and getting his hands up in time to catch a Brady bullet for a TD.
"It's been fun," Brady said. "The thing I love about him is that he's very competitive and he wants to do the right thing. He's been in one offense for a long time, so to try to come to a new offense and learn everything we do — formations, motions, details of our route tree – it's challenging for anybody. To do it on such short notice is another thing. He's working hard at it and we're working hard to be on the same page. We're making improvements and we still have quite a ways to go."
Safe to say, on Friday, Ochocinco responded with a very good day.

Labatt workers off job since spring 2013
Three Labatt employees who were eligible for retirement in the past year are left in limbo as the strike nears the 10-month mark.
© — Photo by Rhonda Hayward/The Telegram
Striking Labatt Brewery workers had a bitterly cold day on the picket line Thursday when temperatures reached -30 C with the windchill. The strike has been ongoing for almost 10 months.
One of them was Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Public and Private Employees (NAPE) Local 7004 president Frank O'Leary, who said he could have taken early retirement in 2013.
"It's up in the air, that's it," said O'Leary, who has worked at the Leslie Street brewery for 32 years and may lean towards leaving over sour relations after the strike is concluded and there's a contract.
"It's hard on everybody."
No formal talks have been held since July.
The beer strike of 1985, which affected both breweries, lasted
7 1/2 months.
The union wants a conciliation board appointed, but Labatt does not. A conciliator has been involved in the process.
Not bound
Labatt Breweries of Canada director of corporate affairs Wade Keller said it's in both sides' interest to try to resolve it between themselves, and a board decision would not be binding.
He said the company hasn't seen any loss in sales because of the boycott called for by the union, but it doesn't like the situation, either. The company has made overtures and hopes there will be progress in the new year, he added.
"Right now, it's status quo," Keller said.
The monetary offer will put the Labatt brewery workers in St. John's in line with others in the company's network across the country, he said.
As the strike heads toward the one-year mark, O'Leary said the presence of replacement workers and the length of the strike without government action could spell the "death of unions."
"We are very disappointed in the company. Since Day 1, the first week of proposals, there has been no movement at all," O'Leary said.
About 50 workers are on strike at the plant.
Besides monetary issues, Keller said shift scheduling is another principal at odds between the two sides.
"I didn't see it hitting nine months. Who knows, sometimes it can come together really quickly."
The company has continued to brew beer with the replacement workers.
"The company would like to have the unionized workers back to work," Keller said.
The workers voted for the strike in April, but the company claims the employees walked out in late March.
A spokesman for the Department of Justice said the NAPE request for a conciliation board is under review, while a senior conciliation officer continues to try to help the two sides resolve the dispute.
The spokesman said the primary responsibility for negotiating a collective agreement remains with the two sides.
In November, NAPE called on the provincial government to introduce legislation to prevent the use of replacement workers and strikebreakers during a legal strike.
The union blamed lack of such legislation for the prolonged brewery strike.

All Mirrors
Mirrors placed throughout your home serve a functional purpose, offering you that last look before leaving the house. They add light and spaciousness to your home to create a decorative effect too. Our collection of wall and floor mirrors provides you with a wide assortment of sizes and shapes – including octagon, square, round and oval – to add these visually appealing accessories to your indoor spaces, from the hallway and bedroom to the dining and living rooms.
A Pottery Barn favorite is our Eagan Collection of multipaneled mirrors. Crafted of several smaller mirrors made into one, they give the appearance of a window, opening up a small room or apartment to appear as a larger space. The beveled edges of each smaller mirror also reflect light and multiple colors. The same effect is offered by our beveled floor mirrors. Use an oversized floor mirror to open up any space or as a very useful asset to a bedroom dressing area. Our large floor mirrors are tip resistant but also come with mounting kits if you prefer to hang one. Take a look at our beautiful carved door mirrors and mirrored floor screen for ideas on how to bring a dramatic effect to your room.
Mirrors can also serve as pieces of artwork in your home. Our decorative mirrors shaped like stars and geometric patterns are skillfully cut and crafted to create multiple light-catching facets. Find a focal point in your home to hang them, such as over a mantel or on a smaller partition of wall space, as you would a piece of artwork. Our decorative antiqued mirrors add a refined air to a section of your room or hallway. Larger mirrors can also accentuate the art that is hanging on adjacent walls. A strategically placed mirror will reflect the art, furnishings and colors in your room that you want to emphasize, providing balance and symmetry to the space at the same time.
For a room that has a particularly pleasant view from a window, perhaps into the garden or looking across the cityscape, you can bring that view inside by placing mirrors on the wall opposite the window. Consider our frameless or extra-large mirrors. Several can be hung together, either of varying shapes and sizes or a few of the same, depending on the design you prefer. The same effect can be created for potted and hanging plants inside your home. The natural greenery doubles when a mirror sits nearby or behind your plants. Our trellised and bamboo mirrors might do particularly well to continue the garden theme, but any of our mirrors help create the open-air feel of a garden or greenhouse within your home.
Rooms that lack natural lighting benefit greatly from mirrors. A silver beaded mirror hung horizontally over the buffet in your dining room, for instance, will reflect the candles on your dining room table, the overhead chandelier or wall sconces or the lanterns you have strategically placed on your hutch or corner table. Entryways are also a natural place for a wall mirror. And mirrors placed in dimly lit hallways offer added light and depth to these narrower spaces.
For the bedroom, enjoy discovering our selection of pivoting floor mirrors. These large mirrors are freestanding and can angle to just the right position for anyone catching a look at the outfit for the day. For your vanity, our trifold mirror sits right on top of a flat surface, and an over-the-door mirror is a great choice when space is limited or hanging on the wall is not an option. You can also create your own vanity space by mounting a pivoting mirror on your wall. The choices are plentiful – from round to rectangular to oval – and each is accompanied by strong and durable mounting kits. Our moisture-resistant pivoting mirrors are especially at home in the bathroom as an accent above your sink to accommodate each family member, from the tallest to the tiniest.

Crossing Boundaries: Migration, Amalgamation, and Transgression in American Literature, History, and Culture
Convenor: Institute of English and American Studies, Faculty of Humanities and Social Science, PŠzmŠny Pťter Catholic University
Venue: Sophianum building (Budapest, MikszŠth tťr 1)
Call For Papers:
The migration of people, material goods and ideas into the North American continent has changed the land, which, in turn, has changed the people. Their conflicts, migrations, transformations and amalgamations have been a fundamental feature of American social, political, and cultural history. Migration, amalgamation and transgression, along with its powerful drive for transformation, innovation and acceptance, have often raised the opposition of more static, traditional and conservative groups. The aim of the conference is to explore the process and the consequences of crossing the boundaries in the literal or figurative sense, within the realm of the real or the fantastic, and from the subversive or conservative vantage point of ethnic, racial, gender or other groups concerned.
The Tenth biannual conference of HAAS seeks to explore the manifold and interrelated meanings of border crossing in an interdisciplinary context. We seek submissions from scholars active in various fields of American studies including literature, history, social and cultural studies, the visual and creative arts, politics or other related disciplines.
Please send an abstract of 250 words and a short bio, along with the registration form (downloadable from the conference web page) to the organizers at the following email address: email@example.com
Deadline for submission of abstracts: February 28, 2014.
More information about the conference is available on the conference web page: btk.ppke.hu/haas10

The Company They Keep
The men saw only a few rattlesnakes while traversing the Columbia Plateau the previous autumn because, Lewis surmised, the season was so far advanced. "Nor do I know," he concluded, "whether they are of either of the four speceis found in the different parts of the United states, or of that species before mentioned...the prairie rattler...peculiar to the upper parts of the Missouri and it's branches." It is not clear what other species he was referring to, but it is possible that they were the Northern Pacific rattlesnake, now classified as C. viridis oreganus; the timber rattlesnake, C. horridus horridus; and the canebrake rattlesnake, C. atricaudatus (ay-tree-cow-DAY-tus, meaning "tough as steel").
The map above is based on Findlay E. Russell, Snake Venom Poisoning (New York: J. B. Lippincott, 1980), as redrawn in Laurence M. Klauber, Rattlesnakes (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1982), 106-107.
For various reasons, the rattlesnake is surrounded by a large lore of legend. Perhaps it is the reptilian taciturnity, combined with the apparently torpid demeanor, both attributes veiling a supposedly sinister inclination. For instance, there's the episode at Fort Mandan, wherein Jusseaume, the French trader Lewis and Clark hired as an interpreter– notwithstanding that his own reputation was not unlike a rattlesnake's1—who prescribed "a small portion of the rattle of the rattle-snake" to hasten Sacagawea's parturition. Lewis reported
Then there is the story belonging to the copious literature on rattlesnake taming. Among the several hundred questions Nicholas Biddle posed to William Clark during their meeting in April of 1810 was: "Qu: as to tame rattle snakes in Rocky mountains." His notes on Clark's answer read as follows:2
Among Snake Indians in one of the towns a Snake Indian supposed to have been killed having been wounded & scalped by the Minnetarees of F. de Prairie [Atsina Indians] arrived having recovered on field of battle & escaped to woods. He brought with him two large rattle snakes whose teeth he had extracted. They were tamed by him wrapped themselves round his body . . . bosom &c. . . . knew him...boys amused thems[elve]s with sticks . . . the name of the Snake Indians got by their being remarkable for taming snakes of which they have many in their country.
Indian lore is said to include many such tales, and similar legends abounded in Colonial days, including reports of tamed snakes coming when called—perhaps symbolically triumphing over the serpent in the Garden of Eden.3
During the winter at Fort Mandan the explorers learned from Canadian trader Hugh Heney of an Indian topical medicine. In his journal for February 28, 1805, Clark described it as
The plant Heney sent probably was the purple coneflower, Echinacea angustifolia, which is known to have been widely used by Plains Indians in treating various poisonous bites, including that of the rattlesnake.4 Commonly called by such names as black sampson, comb plant, and snakeroot, it is still listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia, and is among the most popular of all botanicals. Notwithstanding its durable and widespread reputation, perhaps based on the psychological potency of its obnoxious flavor, its effect on a rattlesnake bite is no better than Lewis's "Peruvian barks." Its range today extends from eastern Minnesota to western Montana, and from Saskatchewan to Texas. Lewis sent a specimen to Jefferson.5
1. Clark characterized him on October 27, 1804, as "Cunin artfull an insoncear"—cunning, artful, and insincere.

5. See the Twinleaf Journal of the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, Echinacea (e-kee-NAH-kee-a; often pronounced ek-i-NAY-she-a) is from the Greek word for hedgehog, a reference to the prominent receptacle scales at the center of the coneflower. The name of the species, angustifolia, is a Latin word meaning narrow leaf.

Gary MurphyJuly 23,2014
SOUTH RYEGATE Gary Murphy was born in Barre on June 4, 1949, a son of Harland Murphy and Annie Carpenter. On July 11, 2014, he passed away, surrounded by loving family and friends at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Hanover, New Hampshire, the result of a tragic fall at his home in South Ryegate.
Gary grew up in Barre and Wells River, graduated from Wells River High School as valedictorian in 1967, and from the University of Vermont in 1971.
Following college graduation, Gary worked at various jobs in Vermont and North Carolina.
He married Marielyn Chadwick on March 15, 1992, at Post Mills, Vermont; they later divorced.
Gary worked at Capital City Press in Berlin for several years, but was laid off when the company moved its operations out of state in 2005. Since then he has worked at Shaws Supermarket in Woodsville, New Hampshire, and at Jiffy Mart in Bradford, as well as embarking on a website design and computer repair business, in which he collaborated with his son, Gaelan.
Garys life has been one of activism, working as a union organizer and union representative at Capital City Press, and more recently playing a prominent role in the quest for a Vermont state bank. He cared deeply about social justice and was a frequent contributor to the opinion page of the Caledonian-Record. His contributions were never vitriolic, but well-reasoned and to the point. He was also very active in organizing local groups for causes that he was passionate about. Gary has been involved with local softball leagues. He was a sports enthusiast and cheered on all the New England teams, especially the Red Sox. Gary was also an avid reader and history enthusiast.

Most of you know that I'm a recovering sales rep turned marketer, but the more I learn about good marketing, the more I find myself thinking: I wish I knew this stuff when I was selling. Since I wish I knew more about marketing when I was selling, and I think marketers can learn a lot from sales reps, I wanted to share an idea with you here. If you're in a business-to-business (B2B) or other lead-gen based sales and/or marketing role, this bud post is for you.
Too many small and medium sized businesses share a common word to describe their business growth strategy: random. Their leads are random, their quotes are random, and—big surprise—their sales are random. I spent a little over 3 years in B2B sales, and most of the time I felt like I was swimming through a random sea of leads, and I couldn't really predict when a big sale was going to come to help me hit my goals each month. I was swimming in lead soup.
In the image above, the different colored dots represent people who are in very different places in the sales cycle. Yet we seem to approach them all in the same way: close the sale. In looking at all those dots, it's no wonder that my sales felt random. The engaged person is ready to hear that sales pitch, but it's important for sales rep's to learn to ask questions to figure out what the person on the other end needs to hear.
The "sale" pitch is not what the grey, red, or orange leads need to hear, and trying to close them will be a frustrating waste of your time. These people will likely appreciate useful information about your industry, tips and tools on how to make their life easier/better/more efficient, etc. They may want to know background information about your company (but don't flatter yourself – be brief), or as they become more interested they may want to know about your pricing so they can set budgets for next year. Either way – if you bring the same pitch to all of these different people you're going to have a tough time navigating through lead soup.
So how do you ditch the random lead soup strategy? It's much easier said than done…the answer is the funnel. Marketing nerds talk about it all the time, and a jerk like me can spout off and put up a great visual (or in my case, piss-poor "3D" PowerPoint art), and make it seem easy. But it's not easy. If it was, you wouldn't be swimming in lead soup. Here are a few very (very) basic steps you can take to meet the needs of these people, and give them the right message at the right time.
Crawl before you walk. Your future customers need to hear your brand name before they're going to buy from you. This is probably the easiest problem to solve, as long as there is sufficient budget to "get your name out there." An awareness campaign might include:
- TV/Radio Ads (B2C)
- Print Ads in relevant publications or trade magazines
- Outdoor Advertising (billboards) (B2C)
- Display (Banner) Ads Online
- Text Ads on Search engines on relevant industry terms
- Contests & Prize Giveaways using Social Media
I'm partial to the bottom three because they are digital, and with some web analytics in place you will be able to measure effectiveness and quickly make changes to make your campaigns work harder. The first three can also be very effective, but you may not really feel the effects of your efforts until weeks or months later, and you won't be able to make changes at that point.
Ok, they've heard of you. Congratulations – but don't try to get in their pants just yet. People who are at the beginning of the purchase cycle are in research mode. They need to know what they need to know – and if you can help them learn how to be a smart shopper, you will gain their trust and respect. You can help these people with things like:
- "Intro to [Your Industry)" or "[Your Industry] 101" whitepapers & articles
- Useful tools to help identify their needs
- Glossary of industry terms & jargon
- A blog or newsletter (email or snail mail) covering industry news & trends
Sales reps can help marketers understand what's useful by sharing what common questions are asked of them when talking to new prospects. Hint: Setup goals in your web analytics system and measure how many people are downloading your whitepapers, or spending time using these tools. You can learn a lot by comparing these numbers, to the numbers of the more obvious actions like leads from web, sales, etc (because you are measuring these already…right?).
Once a person knows a little more about what they need (or need to know), they will want to hear all the goodies about your specific product or service:
- Price Guidelines or Rate Card
- Competitive Specs (why is your product better than your competitors?)
- Technical Specs (our Whiz-Gadge-Mo's run at 256,000 Kilo-Blams per second)
This is the stuff that sales rep's love to talk about (and they should), and it will be well received by the right audience. This audience.
Ready to Buy:
You sales reps who have a big deal on the line should have a much easier go at landing it if they're right up next to the boat (switching to a fishing analogy now) than if they're way out across the pond. More than likely if you're working with an engaged consumer, they will come to you and ask you for the quote. You may need to clear up some final questions, or eliminate some small obstacles, but if they've been worked through a good funnel you and your customer will probably go home happy.
Thanks to a few friends who let me bounce these ideas off of you before posting. I'll post a followup soon(ish) sharing some ideas on putting the funnel into practice.

Leann Kostek of Phoenix Controls.
Photo courtesy of Gordon Mitchell.
by Dr. Gordon Mitchell
If your hydroelectric generators aren't working efficiently, Phoenix Controls can help. The Bothell company has an international reputation for solving tough power generation problems.
Leann Kostek, an engineer with Phoenix, described the company's 17-year history and talked about her own adventures as an engineer.
I first met Leann at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers where she is one of a few volunteers who help manage a $17 billion member insurance program. Her service to the engineering community, as well as her work with local engineering fairs, distinguish her as a leader.
When I asked Leann about the profession of engineering, she suggested that "it is really for you if you like to solve problems." She explained that most of the work that Phoenix Controls completes is either designing new generator controls or finding ways to make existing systems more efficient. An engineer in this sort of work can make a substantial environmental (and profitable) difference by improving operating efficiency by 1%.
The company was recently aquired by ABB, the large European company, that has subsidiaries providing products and services to transportation and electrical industries. Even though Phoenix has only 25 employees, it serves an important role in ABB business strategies to be a leader in the power generation field.
Gordon Mitchell has a background in the engineering management of high tech organizations. He is a principal of Future Focus, a Woodinville company that provides an unusual investigative service, working with commercial clients who suspect they may be victims of electronic eavesdropping. Future Focus performs specialized inspections to locate bugs and taps that may have been installed by unethical competitors or dissatisfied employees. Gordon can be contacted at 489-0446 or via e-mail at email@example.com.

Thune et al1 are to be commended for a thorough study documenting an inverse dose-response relationship between certain metabolic risk factors and physical activity. In their study, the cardiovascular risk factor profile consistently improved when exercise levels increased from "hard to very hard." We recently made a similar observation in marathon runners who were divided according to their marathon running time (MRT) into 3 fitness groups: the fit (MRT, 265 ± 8 minutes), the fitter (MRT, 222 ± 5 minutes), and the fittest (MRT, 178 ± 12 minutes).2 All measured laboratory values such as high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides, blood glucose, and uric acid were superior in the fastest when compared with the slowest runners. Resting blood pressure was similar in the 3 groups but consistently lower at all levels of exercise in the fittest when compared with the less fit runners.
