The field of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is built upon foundational levels that begin with basic CPR/First Aid and end with the advanced care provided by a Paramedic. Throughout EMS, you will find various levels of education that all focus toward the "chain of survival". This chain is a theoretical ideal of how patients can best be treated, whether suffering a heart attack or being involved in a motor vehicle accident.
EMT is the basic certification level that comprises the largest population of EMS responders and is often considered the backbone of EMS. EMT's perform basic life-saving skills which include: control of bleeding, stabilizing fractures, assisting patients with medications, providing oxygen and other necessities to avoid the development/progression of shock, as well as transportation to the emergency room.
EMT's in Washington state are also trained to place intermediate airway devices, administer epinephrine to patients in anaphylactic shock, and use semi-automated external defibrillators.
The EMT 101 course is offered every fall and spring quarter. The updated EMT course application is available here.
Advanced EMT
Advanced EMT is an advanced level EMS course between EMT and Paramedic. It is not required to take Advanced EMT in order to progress to Paramedic. The course is offered as needed; determined by the EMS officers and fire chiefs from rural departments.
CBC will offer an Advanced EMT course starting winter quarter, 2017. It will be a two-quarter sequence, (EMT 103 and EMT 104) ending spring quarter, 2017. The application is now available here. Applicants must be a CBC student to apply to this program.
Question & Answer Session
There will be a Question & Answer session for the Advanced EMT course on Tuesday, August 9th. This will be held on the Richland CBC campus in the Health Science Center at 6:00 pm in room 204. Please attend if you have questions and are interested in learning more about the Advanced EMT class.

This matchup of veterans vs. young guns will be a hard-fought battle that should go down to the wire.

Latinos need access to STEM education
The Las Vegas Review Journal – ROBERT T. MALDONADO
"It's a ritual that's becoming more rampant across the nation. The alarm on your smartphone goes off, and before jumping in the shower or brushing your teeth, you first check your email, Facebook or both. While some of us may lament this new intrusion on our morning routine, it's a simple fact of life that smartphones and other forms of new technology are becoming an integral part of our daily lives. In fact, technology is now the key to success in this increasingly digital economy, especially for younger generations. Latinos, whose median age (27 years old) is a full decade lower than that of the U.S. overall, stand to gain the most from this changing economy, but only if we acquire the skills, knowledge and resources necessary to take full advantage of the opportunities that lie ahead."(more)

MIDDLEBURG, South Africa – What would it take to take in South Africa's famed Kruger National Park?
Days would become weeks and special training might take months just to get a handle on how big and inhabited this stretch of land along the northeast corner of South Africa bordering Mozambique is.
Picture this outing: You head to Allegany State Park, drive around the paved roads in the valley and waterway adjacent to the administration building and then head home. That would approximate a three-day, two-night stay at a camp somewhere in Kruger Park.
And that is what Jean and I did guided by Adolf and Estelle Kleinhans, our guide friends we met a decade ago and with whom we had shared three previous hunt-and-tours trips.
This time, they chose to begin our visit with a wildlife-watching trip to Kruger followed with a Victoria Falls viewing that will include some inland fishing for tiger fish and perhaps other freshwater fish species.
For now, three days of coursing Kruger trails (all roadways) resulted in a log of sightings most hunters would not see in several months of hunts. Consider that the South Africa part of Kruger, once known as the Transvaal or "across the river," takes in more than three million acres. That comes to an area close to 60 miles wide and more than 200 miles long.
In local terms, Kruger is a park spanning from about Buffalo and Olean eastward to well past Syracuse. Hence, our glorious two and a half days merely covered some 40 miles north and east-to-west to view wild life and open spaces around Kruger, a wildlife preserve named for Paul Kruger, the South Africa Republic president instrumental in setting aside the province once named Transvaal as a preserve.
Adjacent to the South Africa section along the Limpopo River is another preserve area in Mozambique, which measures about one third the preserve area of South Africa. Zaire maintains another wildlife preserve west of the Transvaal, but it does not abut with Kruger Park lands and waterways.
While on three previous hunt trips, Jean and I put three impala (personal) trophy heads on the wall back home. During the first two days at Kruger, we saw more trophy heads and herd numbers than we had viewed during 20-plus days afield on previous South Africa hunts.
We lost count of impala sightings somewhere between two and three thousand antelopes. At this time of year in South Africa, as autumn began on March 1, impala herds often form stag groups. Around many a curve we would come upon a dozen or more trophy racks in a pack of 20 to 30 adult animals. The herds of female and fawn/yearling impalas frequently exceeded 50 beasts calmly feeding along the roadside.
To make these sightings we had to play strictly by Kruger Park rules: Remain in your vehicle at all times, do not feed wildlife, and remain quiet while stopped to view wildlife.
Before we left Middleburg to begin our park journeys, we met up with John Senekal at Adolf's sister Hettie's home. Senekal, formerly a hunter, has developed a kinship/bond with Kruger and had recently participated in a training hike. The five-day, four-night program was conducted with two armed guides who accompanied all trainees and provided instruction in sighting and identifying all flora, fauna and fish life seen along the way.
Hence our motored trip, though astounding, was an impressive preview of all this vast African wildlife area has to see and enjoy.
Not counting baboons seen around our base at Skukuza Camp, impala herds offered first sighting each day out.
By design, all animal, bird and fish life that can be seen at Kruger today are species that have been native to these lands for 300 years or more. No nearby or exotic species have been stocked/introduced to the park; one land tract has been set aside as an Exclusion Area to monitor the ecology of lands and waterways not inhabited with migrant wildlife.
The rhinoceros is a threatened species common to the area but not frequently seen along roadways. We had the good fortune to log sightings of eight of these monstrous creatures along our way.
At one site, two huge bulls fed in the background with a mixed herd of blue wildebeests and zebras along with their fawns, and a pack of impalas.
It was on the second day that we came upon our first Nile crocodile. This mid-sized male or female was resting on a dry, slanted sand spit in the middle of the Sabie River. During the ten-plus minutes we watched this immobile reptile, it held its mouth wide open but not ready to attack a prey. Adolf explained they will often keep their mouth open to regulate body heat. On this overcast, low- to mid-80s day, this creature looked cool and contented.
Shortly after that viewing, we came upon river sections with two or more 'crocs resting with closed mouths. None of the dozen or so we saw showed a hint of movement. If park officials could freely walk along the Sabie River banks, we would think these 'crocs were set out to amuse the tourists.
Our biggest hippopotamus cluster came at about noon on the second day when seven beasts rested on a sand hump in mid-current and another three or four padded underwater along shore near a public lookout. Finally, after about a half hour, one of these hippo swimmers walked onto a sand landing and gave me a qualified close-up photo opt.
Other plains games species showed in abundance; many stops were to see and count herds of elephants and bunches of baboons. We spotted quite a few bush boks, a couple water boks, many kudu (mainly females), a few giraffes, one red-throated pheasant (native to South Africa), and other colorful bird species, including the most vivid lilac-breasted rollers.
As with previous hunt flights, drives and field spotting, Jean (seated in a back seat) picked out many a fauna afield before Adolf or I seated up front.
Rhino plight
Game poaching in South Africa and across the African continent has been a problem for decades. Officials, particularly in South Africa, but also in nearby Mozambique and Zaire, have increased patrols and adopted surveillance gear to bar and arrest poachers.
Adolf Kleinhans noted the immensity of the problem. He said, "Rhino horns now sell on the black market for about $40,000 a pound in China and other Oriental countries. A mature animal could have a horn weighing 10 pounds or more, which is worth at least $400,000 to agents who hire poachers. Area residents who are savvy outdoorsmen who might have a monthly income of about $200 a month are easily enticed into poaching rhinos for elicit foreign trade."
As a result, poachers will kill an animal, hack or saw off its horn and leave the carcass to rot in the field. As of March 1, the official report of confirmed rhino killings was set at 128, mostly in Kruger Park, with few resulting in arrests of perpetrators.
On the plus side, we saw several marked and unmarked policing vehicles and personnel in areas where we were wildlife watching. International, federal and private agencies provide the public with ways to observe and quickly report suspected poaching practices; previous rhino DNA studies also help in finding criminal activity and proof of crimes. Rhinos, and all other creatures seen at Kruger, deserve this attention.
Next week: Victoria Falls and some fishing surprises.

i need wordpress developer that can create plugin out of existing code i had someone did, that create minisite from custom posts.
developer asked to be professional, serious and honest person.
what i have is:
that is wordpress site (WP admin is in Hebrew, but that no need to worry cos anyway all custom post admin is 99% in English, and i can translate all you need, for rest 1% if need)
just remember that as its Hebrew enabled, you need to make code utf8 coded
this existing code have wordpress with custom post that each post is minisite, for example:
in admin side, each tab has separate editor (12 tabs available) and 2 more editors for header and footer.
also i have all kind of features, like i can set template for each post, i can set margin, minisite width, and more.
that's what i have.
what i need is:
1. set admin look as tabs, and not as editors as one long list (see attached sample )
2. make sure that all plugins will be available for all custom post editors, now some plugins work only on first editor, like nextgen gallery and "visual composer" when it should be available for all tabs.
3. make new gallery look images and videos, that will run them with or without ken burns effect (as option) and it should look like that
4. set option that all template that i create in custom post, will be stored in one "bank" and will be available as a list to all users (with my control)
5. install this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/ and let me map for example this post http://viewpano.com/general/ezmap/ to domain like www.new-domain.com/ezmap/
and all tabs will be seen in URL, like that www.new-domain.com/general/ezmap/?page=3
6. make a landing page with some minisite samples, let user chose template, and move on to be registered user to this wordpress, and as registration complete user will have 30 days free of his minisite, after that me (admin) will let/not let him continue use system (auto process)
7. make all (1-6 above) be a plugin that can be install on any wordpress 3.0 and above.
developer can choose to do all from scratch, or use my existing code that do 80% of above and just do fixing as i described, i do not pay extra for it, since i already have it working, so its developer to chose.
please only devoted and honest bidders.

TSE close to deal with NYSE
The TSE says both sides are hoping an agreement will be reached in time to be announced at a reception on January 31, celebrating 20 years of TSE operations in New York.
The collaboration may include cross-listing shares and sharing technology and new products. Joint investment is not being discussed at this stage and there are no plans for a full merger, according to TSE spokesman Mitsuo Miwa.
The TSE is also expanding its links with the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and may approach the Shanghai and Taiwan exchanges. It has also suggested that it could form links with NYSE in the event of a NYSE/Euronext merger.
Similar talks are going on between Japan's securities exchange Jasdaq and New York's Nasdaq, which may also cooperate on cross-listings.

LeBron James is just toying with the media and fans right now.
He's no stranger to cryptic exchanges and messages on social media, as we've seen in the past regarding his comments about Kevin Love and the state of the team, and Monday was just more of the same.
James unfollowed the Cavaliers' official Twitter and Instagram accounts on Monday, yet for some reason, acted like it was no big deal.
The reality is that it is and it isn't.
The Cavaliers cut James' checks, so to unfollow their social media accounts is essentially a way to renounce or oppose them. It's certainly not an endorsement. At the same time, it's not like he actually said anything about the Cavs, so it's not a huge deal.
James was asked about it by the media on Monday, and the response he gave was what you might expect:
"Next question," he said. And that was the end of that.
LeBron got asked about unfollowing the Cavs and immediately became the most flustered human on the planet pic.twitter.com/FTJB4pJdmW
— Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) March 22, 2016
Is there anyone in the NBA that loves making headlines and having the spotlight on him more than James? I don't think so. The playoffs are set to begin in roughly three weeks, so maybe James' focus should be on that, rather than who he's following on social media.
Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com reported that this was part of James' plan to prepare for the playoffs, which makes a bit of sense, but he could've just taken a vacation from social media altogether, which is what a lot of athletes do to clamp down and focus. Instead, he had to be cryptic and mysterious about the whole thing, rather than just addressing it and silencing all doubt.

It's a ******* joke bro. Posts are made every day that hate on religion and non religious things, and then on every single one, someone exactly like you comes in and explains to everyone that it isn't funny. Of course there are religious people smarter than him, and sure he was being a douche. But it's funny (in my opinion), and you decided to tell us that it's stupid for who knows what reason. Why am I even replying to you, god damn I'm wasting my time.

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are getting in plenty of rest and relaxation before the arrival of their new baby this fall. The couple recently enjoyed a weekend getaway at La Costa Resort and Spa in San Diego.
Spears and Federline – "who were there for a family get-together," says a source – stayed in one of the large suites at the hotel and pampered themselves with multiple spa treatments in their room. And Federline surprised his wife by sending her white roses and white chocolate-covered strawberries. The singer also got her nails done at the spa's Yamaguchi Salon, while Federline purchased a new set of golf clubs and hit the resort's links.
And what's a vacation without a little shopping? The pair indulged in a little retail therapy at the resort's stores, including the Lilly Pulitzer boutique Pinkalicious and the Tommy Bahama boutique Coastal Dunes, where they picked up sunglasses.
Spears and Federline also made time to chill out with their broods, who were along for the getaway – including her cousin, his parents, an uncle and two of his nieces. To make them feel at home, Federline had cookies delivered to their rooms. What a guy.
Super Freak
How does Oscar winner Jamie Foxx stay in tip-top shape? We just had to know. "I have a workout tape called I'm Freakin' in Shape," he joked at his new movie Stealth's premiere at the Naval Air Station in Coronado, Calif. "That's what I do – I freak and I shape. I freak, I freak."
But seriously, Jamie. With a busy acting career (besides Stealth, in which he plays a fighter pilot, he's filming the big-screen version of Miami Vice) and a new album to record, the single dad tries to squeeze in a workout whenever he can. His favorite way: basketball.
Does that leave him with any time for a love life? "I think in this business you have to be real careful who you find," he tells us. "My manager would always tell me to slow up (the dating) when I was like 28, 29. Now I'm 32 and I'm glad I did because now I don't have all these people coming out of the woodwork going, 'Jamie, you remember when...?' " But he certainly knows how to charm the ladies: After wrapping Stealth, he gave costar Jessica Biel a silver dog tag with her initials on it. "It was perfect," she says.

Report sets baseline for project to lift Milwaukee student outcomes
Milwaukee Succeeds assesses where community needs to focus to help kids
Less than 9% of low-income children in Milwaukee attend top-quality day care.
Less than 15% of kids are proficient in reading in third grade and eighth grade.
A mere 13% of ACT test-takers are deemed college-ready in most major academic subjects.
Those are some of the findings from a new report highlighting the conditions facing most Milwaukee students — a report that is the first product of an effort aimed at drawing together major players in the city's education, business and nonprofit scenes to work across sectors and improve outcomes for all the city's children.
Known as Milwaukee Succeeds, the organization, housed within the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, releases its first milestone report on Monday.
The milestone report took the organization almost two years to produce, but John Schlifske, co-chair of Milwaukee Succeeds and CEO of Northwestern Mutual Insurance Co., attributes the time to ensuring that the project will be in it for the long haul, not just a quick fix.
"This process is all about incremental, foundational work that will be more sustainable than quick-hit solutions that may not be sustainable," Schlifske said. "We are really trying to solve a bigger issue."
The report offers areas where the community needs to focus to ensure all children across school sectors are supported from "cradle to career," regardless of social and economic factors.
Milwaukee has about 80,000 students in Milwaukee Public Schools, about 25,000 in private voucher schools receiving public funding and about 7,000 in independent charter schools, which are public schools that operate outside the purview of MPS. The report focused on all students in programs receiving public funding.
Milwaukee Succeeds was created to break down the barriers between school sectors in the city and to make people focus on the children as a whole, not which type of school they attend, said Ellen Gilligan, president and CEO of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation.
"I think this community has been divided too long around education issues and I think the division is not necessarily serving the children well," she said. "Many children are not thriving in our community. Many children are being left behind."
Milwaukee Succeeds partners examined data from multiple sectors. The low-income child care statistics in this report was determined by looking at participation in Wisconsin Shares, a program to help low-income families pay for child care. Children in private day care, or who do not attend day care, were not included in the findings. Research suggests exposure to high-quality child care, especially for disadvantaged children, plays a role in future academic success.
Goals to improve by 2020
The report establishes a baseline of conditions in the city and sets goals to achieve by 2020, including:
■Doubling the number of children in the Wisconsin Shares early care program receiving four- and five-star care, as rated by the state's YoungStar grading system, from 8.4% to 16%.
■Increasing third-grade proficiency in reading from 15% to 38% and in math from 23.3% to 36%.
■Increasing eighth-grade proficiency in reading from 14.6% to 33% and in math from 18.4% to 28%.
■Bringing Milwaukee students' ACT scores that meet college readiness benchmarks in three or four subjects from 13% to 50%.
■Lowering the disparity in student performance based on race. Last year, 74% of the white students met benchmark ACT scores in all four areas of the test compared with 2% of students of color.
■Raising the attainment rate for an associate degree or higher from 34.2% to 61%.
Milwaukee Succeeds has created eight networks of community partners that are working to improve conditions for children outlined in the report. For example, the quality early-care and education network works to increase the number of quality preschools and to better educate parents on how to recognize them and enroll their children.
The third-grade reading network focuses on tutoring, parental involvement and coaching teachers in ways to help students who are struggling.
The networks were created to join nonprofit and school representatives around the city that work with children. Rather than have multiple organizations doing different things, the networks allow everyone to collaborate and understand how their work is connected to other work being done.
Over the next several months Milwaukee Succeeds intends to finish outlining each network's goals, Schlifske said. In order for the networks to start working, Milwaukee Succeeds will have to work to obtain financial support, political support and community support to bring everything together, he said.
"Most people recognize that we have a problem with respect to education in the city of Milwaukee," Schlifske said. "I want to see Milwaukee education strong. I want to see it flourish, and as my kids become adults, I want it to be a place for them to work and live."

Toshiba recommends Windows.

Hello, I have a Toshiba M505D-S4930 that comes with Vista, but I installed Windows 7, all drivers work`s well, but my Wifi doesn't work very well, and I cannot connect to Lan/Internet, even is he is turned on - the front button.
I tried every thing on Toshiba Download center (tried to install 8 times!), but still don't work... How can I work around with this problem?
My screen capture: http://www.celuladigital.com.br/hospedagem/edsonlo
For those ho don't want to see the image, the driver recognized by Windows 7 (seven) was:
Realtek RTL8192E Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC version 6.1121.910.2009
I have:
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 6.1.7600
BIOS Version V1.40
Can some one help me?
I know it's probably past the point of doing, but did you make sure of the drivers when you were in Vista?
I would have run a program like My Drivers or even the command line driverquery.exe to make a list of drivers and find out which drivers your working systems was using and then find the matching drivers for the version you were upgrading to.
I have a P305 and an L505 and they both use Intel drivers for the WiFi. So I didn't install the Real-Tek ones. I can't say if that is what is happening for you, but if nothing else, you could restore and find out the right drivers and then try again.
The only way I found a solution that works 80% fine (because it works only on "G" band) was here:
For now (I found this link only today!), it works for me... I will wait Toshiba come with something better on her Download Center...
Thanks for the attention!
Glad that you found it. Are you liking Win7? Or is it too soon? I just loaded it up on my P305, 64bit though.
Toshiba had all of the drivers which is why I'm surprised you couldn't find the one for your WiFi...
I just wish I could get my access button for the sound to not bring up the UAC... I haven't played with that much yet, I just got it loaded last night.

I'm not. Different chispets require different drivers so it's no surprise that not all of the drivers are available for one system while they are for another.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
finally I enetered to the platform of windows 7...
had prob with upgrade assisitant during insatllation of realtek audio driver/software for windows 7.
so...i opted clean installation by going to 32 bit set file...
the wifi adaptor driver (version 12) provided by toshiba won't work with M505-S4945 or it will stop working soon.
So, I searched for driver (Inter Pro wireless lan adaptor 5100 AGN) in Intel site got new driver version (13) which only work with windows 7. After the installation, my wifi problem is over... i started liking windows 7....
could you elaborate a little bit more on the solution that you found because I'm having the same problems
Após muita pesquisa consegui arrumar a wireless do notebook.
1 - Olhei na parte inferior do notebook que tinha uma referencia de wi fi certification - RTL8192E
2 - Pesquisei na internet o drive RTL8192E no site
3 - Instalei com sucesso.

Jordana Brewster, Josh Henderson will lead TNT's new 'Dallas' cast
Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray will return
Maybe "reboot" isn't exactly the right word. TNT's new "Dallas" is maybe just a brand extension or a sequel to the beloved oil dynasty primetime soap opera that ran between 1978 and 1991.
As has long been reported, original "Dallas" stars Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray have signed on to reprise their roles as ruthless oil baron J.R. Ewing, wife Sue Ellen Ewing and younger brother Bobby Ewing, respectively.
The updated "Dallas" will be built around the clash between John Ross, J.R. Ewing's son, and Christopher, Bobby and Pam Ewing's adopted son.
Leading the way for the younger generation is Josh Henderson ("Desperate Housewives"), who will play John Ross. Jordana Brewster ("Fast & Furious," "Chuck") will play Elena, engaged in a love triangle with John and Christopher.
That leaves the casting of Christopher yet to be announced.
The new "Dallas" pilot was written by Cynthia Cidre ("Cane," "The Mambo Kings") and will be directed by Michael M. Robin ("The Closer").

Eric Mangini Fired as Jets Coach
By Dumont Walker ,
Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories
The 2008 NFL regular season ended not even 24 hours ago, and already coaches are being held accountable for their teams lack of performance. Don't worry Cowboy fans Wade Phillips is still your head coach as of 10 AM Eastern Time. However, one person who will not be stalking the sidelines next seas as a head coach is the New York Jets Eric Mangini. According to reports from local radio and ESPN, Mangini was relieved of his head coaching duties earlier today, and an official press conference announcement will be made at 10 AM EST.
The Mangini firing is a difficult one to me. The Jets finished the season 9-7, which is a great turnaround from their performance the previous year. They also acquired Brett Favre late in the off season, which obviously changed their philosophy on the field, and it altered what they could do on offense. Nonetheless the Jets managed to weather the storm for a few weeks at least In the end, the Jets lost four of their last five games including the season finale to the Miami Dolphins in a game where if they had won, they would have made the post season.
Eric Mangini was the New York Jets head coach for three seasons.

A two-out, three-run rally in their last at-bat propelled the Goose Creek Gators to a 4-3 win over Berkeley in the final round of the Post 166 preseason baseball tournament on Saturday at GCHS.
Trailing 3-1 and down to their last out, the Gators rallied for three runs to pull out the win on a game-winning single by senior Chris Singleton.
I was very happy that the kids were able to fight through it, Gators coach Chris Pond said. I was very proud of them for not quitting. Maybe a game like this will help us down the road.
Because of the rain-shortened tournament schedule there was no champion crowned in this years Post 166 event.
With two outs in the seventh, Stags reliever Jeffrey Stone hit Cody Jones with a pitch to ignite the Gators rally. Zach Owens followed with a single to left then Christian Sillanpa tied the game at 3-3 with a two-run double to right center.
Sillanpa scored on Singletons game-winning base hit.
Singleton was the winning pitcher too, tossing a scoreless top of the seventh.
With the win, the Gators salvaged their only official game of the rain-shortened tournament. The rain washed out everything, Pond said. We were only able to play three innings on Monday night (against Ashley Ridge) before the rain came.
The Stags had loaded the bases with one out in the top of the seventh but could not plate any insurance runs.
BHS tallied all three of its runs courtesy of a three-run second inning, and tried to make it stand behind the five-hit pitching of starter Joe Glauser.
Connor Teague started the second inning for Berkeley with a double off the left field fence that missed being a home run by inches. Kyle Morrison followed with a two-bagger to center that one-hopped the fence to score Teague with the games first run.
Chase Ganeys single plated Morrison to make the score 2-0, his first of two hits. Ganey then scored on a throwing error after an infield single by Eric Orton.
Ganeys two hits paced the Stags six-hit attack while Singleton and Sean Freeland each tallied a pair of hits to lead the Gators.
Stone threw two-plus innings of relief to absorb the loss.
The Gators were 6-0 in the preseason before beginning the season Monday, March 10 against Academic Magnet.

Hints from Heloise: Credit card service prevents hacking
Dear Heloise: My credit-card bank offers its customers a "virtual credit card" for use in online purchases (for now, only online purchases are included in the setup). It virtually eliminates anyone hacking onto an online site and getting your credit-card information. It's so simple.
You can download the VCC software from the bank's secure site right onto your computer. Then, when you go online to make a purchase, you can generate a VCC for that purchase only. The bank issues you a VCC for that specific purchase, and even if the VCC is hacked, it cannot be used for anything else.
Your readers would be wise to check with their bank to see if this service is offered. -- Len D. in New Hampshire
Dear Len: Here's a safe way to shop online. When I first started shopping on the Web, I got a separate credit card with a different variation of my name. I use this card only for online shopping, so if something does happen, it is not tied to any other credit cards. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: Don't buy a lot of tomato plants at the beginning of the season. I buy a four-pack or six-pack of tomato plants and then, as they grow "suckers," I pinch them off. I then root them in a small glass of water, or just stick them in the ground if it is moist enough. Keep them watered if just stuck in the ground, being sure not to bruise the stem. They will make late tomatoes. -- J.C. in Kentucky
Dear Readers: Is your favorite deck of cards getting grimy? Clean the playing cards by placing them in a plastic bag with a scoop or two of cornstarch or baking soda. Shake it up for a minute or two. Now remove the cards and wipe off the powder. Degrimed in no time. This also is a great way to clean up cards from board games and other card games your kids may enjoy playing. -- Heloise
Send a great hint to: Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000; Fax: (210) 435-6473 or send e-mail to email@example.com.

Nonagenarian Jacob Jankowski reflects back on his wild and wondrous days with a circus. It's the Depression Era and Jacob, finding himself parentless and penniless, joins the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. There he meets the freaks, grifters, and misfits that populate this world. Jacob introduces us to Marlena, beautiful star of the equestrian act; to August, her charismatic but twisted husband (and the circus' animal trainer); and to Rosie, a seemingly untrainable elephant.
Beautifully written, with a luminous sense of time and place, Water for Elephants tells of love in a world in which love's a luxury few can afford.
©2006 Sara Gruen; (P)2006 HighBridge Company
"Water for Elephants resembles stealth hits like The Giant's House, by Elizabeth McCracken, or The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold, books that combine outrageously whimsical premises with crowd-pleasing romanticism. . . . With a showman's expert timing, [Gruen] saves a terrific revelation for the final pages, transforming a glimpse of Americana into an enchanting escapist fairy tale." (New York Times Book Review)
"Just like a circus, the magic of the story and the writing convince you to suspend your disbelief." (Booklist)
"Gruen skillfully humanizes the midgets, drunks, rubes, and freaks who populate her book." (Publishers Weekly)
"Worth the read ~"
Wonderful storytelling ~
"Water for Elephants"
I loved this from the moment I put it into the player. The narrator is excellent; conveys emotion and is easy to listen too. I loved the story although at times it is a little sad and traumatic. Fantastic, bravo. I can't wait for Sara Gruen to write another.
I read like a madwoman all my life but now I have bad eyes. Thank goodness for audio books
"Yes You Were Right!"
Thank you for recommending this book to me it was delightful. There were some scenes that might have been "adult" If it weren't for that it would be a good story for all ages. The Circus comes to life and so does the hard times that my parent's generation lived through during the depression.
"Romancy but still worth it."
Great frame story with wonderfull naration for both characters. The contrast settings of circus and nursing home with great details and characters inhabiting both made it a worthwhile listen. At one point the plot got tied up a little too neatly for my taste but, ending was clever and quite satisfying nonetheless. Have to admit I was near the end of the book before I realized it was sort of a romance novel and at that point I was so intriged that it didn't matter.
"Depressing but enthralling"
Water for Elephants is one of the most depressing story lines I've read in quite some time. Sara Gruen is an excellent writer and it is her turn of words that kept me listening to the very end. On the positive side, the ending is great - it made me want to cheer aloud! If you enjoy excellent writing that allows you to conjure a vivid mental picture of each scene, you won't be disappointed. The character development is fabulous and you'll have friends and enemies among them.
"Loved it!"
I just finished this book, and I already miss the characters. Both interesting and entertaining, this book had characters I grew to care deeply about and the best narration I've experienced in any audio book. Brilliant!
"From Baraboo"
Fascinated by the circus trains of Ringling Brothers' Circus in my homestate, this story, my first audiobook, was a wonderful introduction to having stories read to me as I travel. Though I cared more for the memories and struggles of the older character, the story overall was captivating and dear. I learned to my dismay that I neglected to put part 2 on my device though before a trip.... Augh!
"Simply wonderful"
This is about the most enjoyable book I've come across on audible. Funny, serious, dramatic and sweet all at the same time. If you've ever taken care of an elderly family member or are aware of your own mortality, you'll find this an touching, easy listen that you'll want to share with others.
"Lions and romance and elephants, oh my!"
I love, love, love this book so much. The dual narrators are superb. The story telling is excellent. I wouldn`t change a thing, even the niggling question at the end: did it really happen or did he make it up...
"Excellent production but..."
This was one of the very best audio productions I've heard but the characters in the story were too one-dimensional for me. If you like your villains thoroughly evil this is the book for you! I also had a very hard time listening to the descriptions of animal cruelty and skipped over a couple of particularly nasty descriptions.
Interesting novel but the characters needed to be more developed.
"Water for Elephants"
Both strangely exotic and nostalgically familiar, this tale of tenderness found in the harsh reality of circus life and enduring love stolen from cruelty is captivating and entrancing. Told through the eyes and voices of an old timer and his younger self, it flips from past to present and back again with ease and manages to bring two stories together with equal strength and interest. A beautiful story that is beautifully read by the narrators.
I listened to this for a second time when I had exhausted my new supply while away.
And it was just as enthralling as the first listen.
Brilliantly written and wonderfully read by the two readers.
I can't recommend it highly enough - one of the best audibles I've listened to.
"A true love story"
A true love story written to thrive in the 21st Centry, from the charactors to the plot line its well written and addictive.........
"The film does not even get close."
I could not put this book down.
I remember exactly where I was when things happened in this book.
The character of the old man is explored to the fullest extend, this character made the story, and was completely overlooked in the film version.
Perfect for a holiday, or summer commutes, as I did.
"loved it"
Unusual subject and not one I would normally choose. It made me laugh and cry. Brilliant. Do read it
I wasn't sure if I was going to like this audiobook when I started listening to it as I found the hopping between the current and past a little hard going and the older person's voice difficult to understand at times. But, I'm glad I perservered with it. The story is very original and draws you in. Worth a listen
"Wonderfully engaging Big Top Book"
This book tells the story of a young man thrown into the life of a circus worker after his parents are killed. The wonderful transition between times takes the listening into two very different but equally compelling settings. Brilliant !!
"Great Original Story"
Great to read an original book for a change. I knew nothing about the american circus trains, and now I do! Takes place during the American Depression. The love story is a bit lame but otherwise a terrific listen.
"I Loved it!"
A really enjoyable listen, on a par with 'The Help'. This has been one of those books I couldn't wait to get back to; it was really well structured and well read, I was thoroughly entertained the whole way through. I highly recommend this audiobook.
"Enjoyed every single second …."
It left me wanting more…. I did not want the story to end. I laughed and cried. This is a tale simply told, an account that was both funny & sad, on times illustrating the cruelty inherent in some human beings and the goodness of others. The narration was outstanding, it brought the wonderful characters to life and I could really see them through 'Jacobs' eyes. It also made me think about the value we place on our elderly population. Can't wait to watch the film, hope it lives up to the book.

Stance Setup - Centre of Board
Hi all,
I have read up on these forums and the internet and tried to sort this myself but hit a roadblock!
I would like to try a centred stance (or make sure I am centred). When I find what I think is the effective length (widest to widest), then the centre point and measure to the centre of my binding when the bindings are both in the centre hole on the board my front binding seems to be 1.5-2" nearer to the centre than the back. So basically if I just take the "standard" setup of that board.
Is it normal to see such a big offset using the central slots or am I measuring the effective centre wrong? Or can I assume that the central slots are the centre of the board?
If the board is a directional board then the mounting holes are going to be set back a bit. So naturally, if the bindings are mounted in the center holes for each pack of inserts, then they'll be offset.
of course, maybe i'm not understanding how you're measuruing for the center of the board.
Then if I want to make it narrow and keep that setup I just move both bindings in one notch?
2nd question - stance angle
Actually can I add a 2nd question - when I bought the board 2nd hand the guy in the shop set it up. I've now realised its 21/-9. When I do a squat I end up in a position something like this I am a little duck legged anyway :)
It feels OK but I've nothing else to compare to. Just wondering if it feels OK is it OK or is it worth me trying something more "neutral" like 18/-6 even?
PS - I've done about 2 weeks of boarding am OK on red groomed slopes, getting better but still prob not an intermediate
yeah just move the bindings in closer together. I'd move both in rather than just try to move one binding or the other. Also, if you look at the mounting disks, you'll see that there are different holes you can mount in. So you don't have to jump to the next hole in the board, you can try mounting in the next hole in the binding. Just make adjustments until something is comfortable for you. One thing I did last year was jump down from 3 steps landing evenly on both feet. I figured the width of my feet landing would be a good starting point for mounting my bindings. I ended up going a little wider, but not much.
As far as binding angle, I think that's all just personal preference and body mechanics. I ride with my bindings set at 6/-6. I feel like this lets me get good pressure on the edges. Also, I've tried other angles and they just make my knees hurt. My friends think my angles are too tight and they ride at 12/-9 or 9/-9. Its really just works for you.
Honestly the best thing for you to do is just find a good starting point and carry a multi-tool with you the next time you go ride. Take some runs and make the adjustments you think you need.
Once you figure out what works for you, measure the distance (i like to go measure from the center of the binding) and note the angles. I can tell you off the top of my head that my bindings stance is 23 1/2" wide at 6/-6. I use this same stance on all of my boards, pow/park/all mountain. Its just the stance that works for me.
Yeah sounds like you've got a directional board. You actually want a bit of setback (the nose is longer than the tail) when you're riding forward most of the time...
For stance angles there's many schools of thought. In general I think a DIFFERENCE of 18-27 degrees is a good starting point. So wanting to go to 18/-6 would put you right on the money at 24 degrees. I ride a -12/+12 but used to ride -9/+9... Back in the day I rode 0/+18 but it seems that nobody rides with a 0 deg back binding anymore! lol
I started +3/+18, every season I get a little closer to duck
Well, this thread has made me feel a little silly. My bindings are set perfectly straight. I guess that would be 0? Both of them. On my first day out I had back leg at 0 and front leg at some crazy ass angle. My husband set it up for me. Then I figured that I would start at 0 with both and start adjusting from there. lol Think maybe this is why my last lesson went soooooo wrong? Oops.
Clearly I have no clue what I am doing. Kind of wishing the instructors would go over at least a little bit about what angle to stand at. My very first lesson the instructor asked me if I rode regular or goofy....as if I had a clue.

—In our study, we reported that a highly virulent group A streptococcal clone (PFGE-1) caused multiple cases of invasive streptococcal disease in a small community from January through March 1995. Fifty-nine (32%) of 187 children attending the only elementary school in this community carried group A streptococcus organisms in their throats, and in 46 (78%) of the 59 carriers, the PFGE-1 clone was isolated. All 59 children who carried group A streptococcus were offered antimicrobial therapy, and all were treated. No additional cases of invasive disease caused by the PFGE-1 clone occurred in this community at the conclusion of this intervention. However, no follow-up pharyngeal cultures were performed to determine whether the prevalence of the PFGE-1 among these carriers decreased following antimicrobial therapy.Even if one assumes an eradication rate among the PFGE-1 streptococcal carriers in our study similar to that reported by Drs Perry and Maher (83%), other factors

Even if you don't know much about farm life, there are some things about the hogs that Kenzee and Bray Goodheart raise that you could probably guess:
They're fat.
They like mud (most of them do, at least).
And despite how attached Kenzee, 13, and Bray, 10, may get to them, the same fate ultimately awaits them all. The long truck ride of no return.
But there are also some things you might be surprised to know about hogs. For instance, you can summon them with a whistle, just like a dog. And, if you're lucky, a really good hog, like the one Kenzee showed at a livestock show in Houston earlier this year, can win you thousands of dollars.
That kind of dough helps ease the hurt from losing your animal to the butcher, her father Darren Goodheart acknowledged.
Although Kenzee and Bray attend James Bonham Middle School and Sleepy Hollow Elementary School respectively, they know more about farm life than most Amarillo kids because they're in Randall County 4-H. Their family has two barns on 170 acres of land southwest of Amarillo, and they've been raising hogs and showing them in contests for several years now.
Being a farm kid in Amarillo ain't easy. While Canyon students get a day off for the county fair, and in other Panhandle towns spring break coincides with the Houston livestock show, most students and teachers in Amarillo don't understand missing school to show contest animals.
"When I took my note around to tell my teachers I was going to be gone, one boy read it and said, 'What's that?' '' Kenzee said. "He didn't know what 4-H was.''
Amarillo Independent School District students can miss as many as 9 days of school a semester for non-school related activities, and the Goodheart kids use their whole allotment traveling to cities around Texas to show and buy hogs. But even when they're away from school, they usually continue learning from the new things their trips expose them to.
They go to places like Lubbock, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. They get to meet new people, go to water parks and restaurants, and see interesting sights, like the llamas and camels they once spotted around Wichita Falls.
Kenzee got to appear on television after winning in Houston, and she even got to drive the family truck through the Astrodome before the competition. It was harmless enough, as the 2-mile line of pickups pulling livestock trailers merely inched along, bumper to bumper.
Going to contests may make showing hogs sound like a lot of fun - and it is - but that's the reward for the months of hard work that go into raising them. Every day after getting out of school and completing all their homework, Kenzee and Bray go out to the barns to spend time with their animals.
Stepping around scampering barn kittens, they open the stall gates to feed the hogs. Being swine, the animals grunt and poke their low-to-the-ground snouts through the gate openings and sniff the kids' feet. But one of the kids always has a pig whip handy to slap the hogs' noses and make them stay in the pen.
The Goodhearts have about seven hogs, including four babies that were born in late July or August and some bigger ones that are about a month older. Some are Hampshires, gray with white bands across their shoulders, and others are spotted barrows - similar, but with ears that lie down.
Tending to the hogs includes washing them, brushing them, putting coat shiner on them, filling their feeders, cleaning out the pens if needed and making sure the hogs have a fresh bed of hay.
But while feeding and cleaning are expected tasks for dealing with pigs and pigpens, that's not all there is to preparing the animals for shows. On the contrary, these unlucky hogs can't just lazy and wallow around all day. Instead, Kenzee and Bray take them out of their pens and walk them around outside the barn for exercise.
The hogs can't get too fat because contest judges look for leanness and muscle tone.
"The bigger the frame, the better off you are,'' Darren said, "as long as you keep it structurally strong and the muscles are adequate. You don't want their back to break in or their legs to be close together when they walk.''
A lean, fit hog is one with its spine visible, making a trench the length of its body, running along its back, he said.
"We call it gettin' the groove on,'' Tamala Goodheart, the kids' mother, said with a laugh.
Walking the hogs also familiarizes them with how the kids will drive them at the shows, which is just as important as exercising them.
"You spend time with the little pigs so they get to know you,'' Bray explained. "One little Berkshire I had was jumpy. So sometimes I'd come out and sit with it and feed it an apple.''
And a mutual bond does form. Despite the inevitability of the hogs' grim fate, the kids yield to the temptation to give them names such as Junior, D.J, Bercules and Wideload.
In fact, it's pretty hard not to bond with them.
"They remind (Kenzee) of dogs,'' Tamala said. "She calls hers 'dog.' ... They're pretty personable. Each pig has a different personality.
"Kenzee's is kinda finicky and won't get in the mud, but Bray's loves it; it's always coated in it.''
Just as you wouldn't want any friend to be sent off to a butcher, Kenzee cried the first time she had to give her hog away at a show.
"The check makes it a little better,'' Darren said.
His wife agreed.
"It's something you have to realize,'' she said.

Our belief that women's healthcare needs are unique is seen through our readiness to accommodate your specific birth plan. Whatever plan you and your doctor and/or midwife decide upon, we're here to work with you to provide the comforts and advantages of home.
Once you arrive on the eighth floor Labor and Delivery Unit, you and your coach will be welcomed and asked a few questions to help determine the best room for you. If you have a birth plan, or require special accommodations, please let our staff know at this time. Our home-like, spacious birthing suites, where you'll labor, deliver and recover, will provide you, your baby and family with the most reassuring atmosphere. During labor you'll have access to round-the-clock pain management, private bathrooms and use of a whirlpool tub or shower, if appropriate.
Unless a medical problem makes it impossible, your baby will stay in your room at all times with a nurse caring for both of you. This philosophy promotes attachment within the new family. It also provides you with the opportunity to ask your nurse questions, so you have the knowledge and confidence to care for your new baby. Crouse Hospital also offers complimentary 24-hour viewing of the "Newborn Channel," which shows educational programs, in English and Spanish, on the TV at every bedside.
Our state-of-the-art surgical suites are also equipped for cesarean sections, if this procedure is necessary. Once you've recovered, you and your baby will be transferred to our Mother-Baby Unit.
Sometimes babies need to stay in the hospital a little longer than their mothers. Our Mom's Place program provides a place for you to stay on 7 Irving, near your baby, on a space-available basis. Please ask your nurse for details.
If you wish to participate in and meet the medical criteria for our 24-hour, short-stay Family Birth Program, you'll be transferred to a private room on the maternity floor (whenever possible) and "room-in" with your baby and your coach. In order to be approved, you must have previously discussed the plan with both your OB and pediatric providers, and must plan to go home from the hospital as soon after 24 hours as possible. A nurse will visit you at home within one to three days after discharge. Once you have the agreement from both your physicians, a Family Birth Program Orientation Class is required. Please register by calling First Steps at 315/470-5716.
Choosing the way you will feed your baby is one of the most important decisions you will make in preparing for his or her arrival. Doctors agree that for most women and babies, breastfeeding is the safest and most healthy choice. It is your right to be informed about the benefits of breastfeeding, and having your healthcare provider encourage and support breastfeeding.
Crouse Hospital is committed to doing just that. Our five lactation consultants — Carol Cook, RN; Kristen Waterstripe, RN; Cynthia Maslak, RN; Kathryn Rushmore, RN and Charleen Insalaco, RN — are each an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, a health¬care professional who specializes in the clinical management of breastfeeding.
Crouse Hospital's Breastfeeding Taskforce, led by Leonard Marotta, MD, medical director for Normal Obstetrical Services at Crouse Hospital, has developed a multidisciplinary approach to assist new mothers with their breastfeeding needs. The taskforce is comprised of pediatricians, obstetricians, midwives, maternal and newborn nursing staff and our lactation consultants.
Our lactation consultants provide one-on-one education in our Lactation Office or in your room, and are available to assist you before and after birth. Arrange an appointment with them by calling 315/470-7179.
New York State passed Health Law Bill S1107 (effective May 1, 2009), the Breastfeeding Mothers Bill of Rights. At Crouse, we're dedicated to helping you make the most informed decision about how to feed your new baby.
Crouse Hospital has compiled the Breastfeeding Resource Guide for the CNY Perinatal Region to assist physicians and their patients in accessing breastfeeding services across the region and state. Through this guide, Crouse Hospital hopes to give mothers the resources to breastfeed their babies and receive help and counseling from lactation specialists.
Please feel free to call our consultants at 315/470-7179 with any questions, concerns or comments. For any additions or updates to this guide, please contact Dr. Marotta at 315/470-8029 or by email. We hope you find this guide relevant and helpful.
The New York State Department of Health mandates that all mothers are advised to have HIV testing during each pregnancy. An HIV positive mother who is treated with special medications during pregnancy and birth has a much lower chance of passing HIV on to her baby.
If you refuse to be tested during your pregnancy, you will be counseled upon admission to the Kienzle Family Maternity Center. Refusing to test yourself at this time means that your baby will be tested at time of delivery.
You will not know if your baby needs special treatment until the tests results are returned. Accordingly, your baby's care provider may decide to delay breastfeeding until results are received. The sooner a baby receives any medications related to HIV infection, the better are the chances that he or she will not contract HIV from an HIV positive mother.
New York State requires any newborn infant to leave the hospital in a car seat.

Resolve Through Sharing (RTS) Perinatal Bereavement Services is a program of Crouse Hospital designed to support parents and families who have experienced the loss of a baby due to an ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, therapeutic termination, stillbirth or neonatal death.
Because grieving is a normal response to the death of a loved one, our program supports each family's grief process. When a baby dies, the family may also mourn the loss of their hopes and dreams, and of their lifetime with that child. Caring, supportive hospital staff can help a family through the initial shock and crisis. This is the beginning of adjusting to life without your baby.
For more information about referral options, remembrance activities for families or any questions, please contact Janet Press, CNS, MSN, CT, RNC, Perinatal Bereavement Services Coordinator, at 315/470-7372 or Kathy Gorzka at the Perinatal Bereavement Services office at 315/470-2769. You may also visit the Central New York Perinatal and Infant Bereavement Network website.
