PHOENIX — Trevor Cahill wanted 200 innings. He entered his final start against the Chicago Cubs on Saturday at Chase Field with 191.
He had a one-hit shutout through six innings when Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson asked him how much longer he wanted to go.
Cahill said three more.
"He seemed kind of determined," Gibson said.
That determination paid off, as Cahill pitched his third career complete game to finish his second consecutive 200-inning season as the Diamondbacks downed the Cubs 8-2.
Cahill (13-12) allowed four hits and two runs, throwing 126 pitches and recording a season-high nine strikeouts. That bested his previous mark of eight — in an interleague start against the Los Angeles Angels on June 15 — and fell one strikeout shy of his career mark of 10, which he hit once with the Oakland Athletics in 2010.
The strikeout number wasn't important to Cahill. The 200 innings were.
"It's one of those numbers," Cahill said. "I would have just went eight and made 199, it would have just been one inning difference. But to get there was kind of a sweet, even number."
Cahill surrendered a leadoff single to David DeJesus to start the game, but then held Chicago hitless for the next 5 1/3 innings. His pitch count hit triple digits in the eighth, in which he gave up a leadoff hit, induced a double play and issued only his second walk of the game.
The 24-year-old righty started the ninth with his ninth strikeout, but then walked his third batter before Alfonso Soriano crushed an 0-2 slider over the center-field fence to end Cahill's shutout bid.
Cahill was over 120 pitches at that point, but said he felt good before surrendering the home run.
"I was trying to throw one off the plate," he said. "I wasn't big on strikeout, I was trying to run it off there so he'd ground out and get a double play to end it. It just kind of stayed up high."
The Diamondbacks jumped on Cubs starter Justin Germano for three runs in the first and another in the second. Germano lasted just 4 1/3 innings, giving up 10 hits and seven runs.
The last two runs came in the fifth. With one out, Aaron Hill singled into right for his third hit of the game, bringing Justin Upton to the plate.
Upton singled to center in his first at-bat, but then got over-eager and struck out swinging his next time up.
This time he was more patient, smacking the first pitch he saw for a two-run homer to left. The ball traveled 435 feet, according to an estimate by ESPN Stats & Info.
"The next time, he sat on it and put a better swing on it," Gibson said.
Catcher Miguel Montero was hit by the next pitch, and the Cubs were issued a warning.
The Diamondbacks roughed up four Cubs pitchers for a total of 15 hits and eight runs.
Two of those runs and one of the hits came from Cahill, who walked on four pitches with the bases loaded in the fifth and singled in Arizona's final run in the seventh.
"My last at-bat, I got the hit and wasn't really thinking about anything other than pitching," Cahill said. "I just kind of threw the bat out there and it kind of fell in."
Early in the season, Cahill had issues adjusting to life at the plate in the National League. Saturday he doubled his career RBI total to four.
"The whole hitting thing, it's kind of fun sometimes," Cahill said. "Not fun some other times."
D-Backs 8, Cubs 2
Recap: Right-hander Trevor Cahill needed all nine innings he threw on Saturday night to reach the 200-inning mark in what will be his final start of the season. Cahill got plenty of support, as the Diamondbacks pounded out 15 hits to win their second in as many days against the Cubs.
Eaton's hand: Center fielder Adam Eaton suffered a broken right hand when he was hit by a 90 mph fastball from Cubs left-hander Jeff Beliveau.
The team announced that the recovery time for his injury is six to eight weeks.
Eaton went down in pain, but he didn't leave the game immediately. He ran the bases in the seventh and remained in the game to play defense in the eighth. He was removed for a defensive replacement before the bottom of the ninth inning.
Good approach: The Diamondbacks haven't had much success this season against pitchers like Cubs right-hander Justin Germano, a soft-tosser who uses hitters' aggressiveness against them.
But the Diamondbacks scored seven runs on 10 hits and a walk in 4 1/3 innings against Germano, doing so thanks to what manager Kirk Gibson said was an "overall good approach."
"You've seen certain guys that give us trouble that throw off-speed stuff," Gibson said. "You just have to kind of adjust your sights. If you get too aggressive on those guys, they're very deceiving and that's what they live off of."
The Diamondbacks scored three runs in the first inning, getting an RBI double from Aaron Hill and run-scoring singles from Justin Upton and Mike Jacobs.
Upton added a two-run homer in the fifth inning, a shot that ESPN Stats & Info estimated at 435 feet.
Montero drilled: After Upton's homer, Germano hit the next batter, Miguel Montero, with a first-pitch fastball, upsetting the Diamondbacks' dugout. Upton was spotted by cameras yelling onto the field.
Gibson said the umpires issued a warning after the hit by pitch.
"From my standpoint, if it was us who did that, whether it was intentional or not, if they come back and hit one of our guys, then the game moves on," Gibson said. "But I don't make those rules."
Germano said he didn't hit Montero on purpose.
"I even made eye contact with Montero and he knew," Germano said. "I think everyone else in the stadium thought it was (on purpose). It was bad timing. If you look at the other pitches, I was pounding lefties in."
View from the press box: It's possible that the Diamondbacks were hoping for a little more from Cahill's season, but what he gave them this year was about all that could reasonably have been expected. He ate up innings and, with a 3.78 ERA, gave them a chance to win most of the games he started. The trade that brought him here doesn't look great, but that has more to do with how good Jarrod Parker has been for the A's, not about how Cahill has pitched for the Diamondbacks.

MAYVILLE - Lawmakers on Wednesday unanimously passed a motion of support against a toll hike plan on the New York State Thruway.
The motion, which had the full support of the Republican caucus going into the meeting, managed to garner full support of the legislature.
"I think because of motions like this from us and other counties we managed to get the governor to take a position on this," said Majority Leader Larry Barmore, R-Gerry. "I suggest each one of us support this and let New York state really know that we can no longer stand for further increases."
Article Video
county legislature
Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week announced he would support a toll hike, but he directed the Thruway Authority to find ways to cut down on operating costs. A series of public hearings were held in Buffalo, Syracuse and Newburgh regarding the increase.
State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, meanwhile, has blasted the authority, and said the hike should be a last resort to raise funds.
"Imposing a large toll increase could have damaging effects on consumers and businesses at a time when many New Yorkers are struggling to recover from the recession," DiNapoli said.
The authority said a "modest" increase for trucks with three or more axles was necessary in order to raise $90 million a year in project funding. If approved, the hike would take effect Sept. 30.
Todd Tranum, president and CEO of the county Chamber of Commerce, said recently: "This is a tax that hits businesses particularly hard. Anything that increases the cost of moving product is not good for business."
In other business, the legislature Wednesday approved a rent restructure agreement with Runway 7 restaurant manager Teel Wolcott. With approval from lawmakers, the four-month-old restaurant will see its rent reduced from $600 a month to $200 a month plus 5 percent gross sales.
The decision, however, was not universally approved.
"I guess the biggest concern I have with this situation is that two legislators in this room set out on their own (and) negotiated a new deal without the authority of the legislature," said Tom DeJoe, D-Brocton.
DeJoe said that the airport commission, which recommended the rent reduction, should not have the power to negotiate lease agreements with tenants. He added that by allowing the resolution to pass it would set a bad precedent for future agreements with the county.
The resolution was sponsored by Vince Horrigan, R-Bemus Point, and David Himelein, R-Findley Lake. Horrigan, who sits on the airport commission, said reducing rent would help the struggling restaurant.
"During the summer months, with so many things going on, business has dropped off," he said. "We had a discussion with myself and the airport manager with the proprietors and we talked about the rent (and) how they were doing."
Horrigan said Wolcott is "a couple of months" past-due in rent, which prompted the commission to seek a lower payment.
"During that discussion it became apparent that the current rent agreement of $600 a month does not account for fluctuations in business," Horrigan said. "And while they are very optimistic and very committed to that restaurant, it became apparent to me that there was a better way to restructure their rent."
Victoria James, D-Jamestown, questioned why rent was established at $600 a month when previous restaurants at the airport had their rent around $200 a month.
"It kind of sounds like we set them up for failure a little bit," she said.
When reached by phone late Wednesday, Wolcott declined to comment, noting she was not made aware of the legislature's decision.
The legislature voted to adopt the rent restructuring by a vote of 19 to 6. Those voting against include: DeJoe; Keith Ahlstrom, D-Dunkirk; Bill Coughlin, D-Fredonia; Bob Duff, R-Sheridan; Rod Rogers, G-Forestville; and John Runkle, R-Stockton.
The legislature also approved a resolution to hold a public hearing next month. A new local law being pushed would give first-time homebuyers for newly constructed and rehabbed properties tax breaks.

I am still nursing my 17 month old. I work as a nurse in the Nursery at my hospital. When I hold the new babies for more than a few minutes my milk starts to let down. Is there anything I can do?
I am still nursing my 17 month old. I work as a nurse in the Nursery at my hospital. When I hold the new babies for more than a few minutes my milk starts to let down. Is there anything I can do?
I really don't think you can do anything to stop it. Just wear nursing pads while your at work so you won't leak. I find that if I'm really busy at work and am not focussing on thinking about DS I let down less often. I can see where that would be impossible for you - occupational hazard
Amazed and Proud mom of Luke (Lucas) - 4/5/2006; 9 lbs 12 oz , 22in
Wife to best friend Carl - 11/4/2001
Your body should get used to not nursing at those times, so will slowly stop letting down. As I'm sure you've figured out, you can cross your arms to put pressure on your breasts to slow the letdown. Hard to do when you're caring for a baby, though.
Thank you for what you do.

I'm horrible at html and encoding links, so I apologize in advance for all the long links!
the only other thing I can think of is a good pump before you go to work.
how often is your child nursing?
I found I started to have less leaking as my kids nursed less often.
Now that my dd is 3 I haven't "leaked" it a long time.
That says a lot about you being a nurse, baby frog! Shows how much you care for those precious little ones.
Great job - nursing your 17 month old and being a wonderful care giver
Hehehe! Sorry I have to chuckle. I work in a hospital lab and when the nursery calls I hear the babies and soon let down. I just make sure to wear pads and have plenty of extras. I also learned to cross my arms over my chest if I recognized the number on the cid. I noticed it didnt happen as regularly when I had my super sports bra on but I dont know if it would be bad to wear one all the time. (this bra smushes my d/almost dd's to the point of ZERO movement by the way) Maybe also try and not think about your child when holding the babies. I know its instinctive to think about when they were that age etc. but maybe think about sports or shopping?

framework for sustainability thinking: 12 stops in a matrix
Listening to Julian Darley* dish sustainability solutions, I couldn't help thinking that our greatest need at the moment is 'knowledge management'.
That is, creating a framework for storing what we're learning, based on a new mental map of what we need to know. And then growing a network for sharing and building this knowledge on the fly.
Darley goes on at such length and each item is so compelling that I begin to lose track of where we are and end up with a laundry list...which is not what we need. We need something like a three-dimensional matrix to depict all the interconnected elements.
Having given a fair amount of thought to what such a matrix might look like (in my preparations for leading the sustainability seminars), and having noticed no one else putting our mental map together in quite this way, I offer this framework as a proposal for how we might organize our sustainability knowledge base.
Think of a cube with 3 spheres, 6 challenges, and 3 tools-- or 12 stops-- each cross-linked with the others and comprising the entire domain of sustainability. A 3X6X3 cube sliced into 54 coequal cubes. (Note: you can tap the Esc key to stop this animation at any time.)
Whatever aspect of sustainability you're addressing, there's a cube location for that Q&A.
We've previously visited the "3 spheres" mental map, showing the reciprocal and dynamic interconnections among economy, ecology and community and the major threat for each sphere.
We've also introduced the "3 Fs" as essential tools in our sustainability analysis.
And the "6 challenges" are the focus of my sustainability seminars.
Now imagine a social networking site for sustainability practitioners to help fill-in these 54 cubes and provide pointers to related knowledge.
Could help, no?
* BTW, Darley was addressing a July 2007 audience in Nelson, BC on "Preparing Your Community for Energy and Climate Change".

If clouds cooperate, Oregonians should have decent views of the transit of Venus across the sun today. But you must use eye protection or indirect viewing techniques to safely witness the spectacle.
Venus will appear as a dot crossing the face of the sun in a rare orbital alignment that won't occur again for another century.
The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry is hosting a free viewing party from 3-9 p.m. in OMSI's south parking lot.
The Rose City Astronomers Club and OMSI are providing filtered solar telescopes and indirect viewing methods for safely observing the transit. You can also watch NASA's live broadcast on the big screen at OMSI's auditorium. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. and admission to the televised transit is free, no reservations required.
Transits of Venus have long been useful to scientific research, as The Exploratorium notes:
In the 1700s, they helped us determine our distance to the Sun and gave us the first clue that Venus might have an atmosphere...Transits are still of interest to scientists today, because they can be used to find planets outside our solar system, also known as extrasolar planets, or exoplanets. Extrasolar planets are too distant and too dim to be viewed directly, but when one passes in front of (that is, transits) its parent star, it blocks a little bit of the star's light. Scientists analyzing the changing light from stars can not only identify the presence of a planet, but can also determine the planet's size, temperature, and atmospheric composition. The transit of Venus provides great practice for these scientists, allowing them to track the optical changes that take place during a transit.
Venus transits come in pairs spaced eight years apart, but not repeated for more than a century. The last was June 8, 2004. After today, the next transits of Venus won't take place until December 2117 and December 2125.
NASA is webcasting live views from its observatory in Mauna Kea, Hawaii. You can also catch the view from the International Space Station. Astronaut Don Petit (born and raised in Silverton, Ore. and a graduate of Oregon State University) will be posting still images of the Venus transit as seen from orbit.
The highest quality pictures of the transit may come from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. SDO is a satallite-based observatory put in orbit in 2010. It can produce images of the sun with resolution 10 times better than high-definition television. SDO mission scientists are using the transit to help calibrate instruments and also study Venus's atmosphere.
The transit will begin at 3:05 p.m. Pacific time. But the sun will set at 8:55 p.m. before Venus completes its crossing of the sun at 9:44 p.m.

Schools across western North Dakota can expect to have surprise athletes show up each year as the oil industry continues to boom.
Detroit transfer Kolton Stevens is earning his role with the Minot High School football team after moving to North Dakota to join his father, who works for an oil company.
Stevens will miss Friday's game in Williston because of a sprained MCL in his right knee, but expects to return the following week against Mandan. Before suffering the setback against Davies, the senior began excelling at defensive end and had a 17-yard reception on offense in the season opener.
Article Photos
Minot High School senior Kolton Stevens carries a Velva tackler as he gains more yards on a reception during a scrimmage last month. Stevens, a transfer from Detroit, is making an impact as a defensive end and receiver.
"Kolton Stevens has been very good for us at defensive end, so we're pleased with him," MHS coach Barry Holmen said. "I would call him the one new fella that has really already given us a significant contribution during games and we're hoping now others, as they learn our system, can join us."
Stevens looks every bit a defensive end. At 6-foot-4, he is the tallest Magician and an athletic 204 pounds. In the opener, he crushed West Fargo quarterback Scott Cameron at the thrower's point of release. He had to be gang-tackled on his reception.
"I've been taking the system good," Stevens said. "It's just like a normal team. We're all a family here."
The Magic City presents a noticeable contrast to the rougher Motor City.
"Minot's good," he said. "There's better people here. It's a different environment."
Stevens played football in Detroit, but was lower on the depth chart as a junior. He said much of what the MHS staff has taught him about defensive end is new. He's focusing on keeping his hands high, watching the quarterback and players in motion and not getting too far up the field.
"I just think he's physical," Holmen said. "He plays hard and you want a defensive end that's physical, especially on the tight end side. You're gonna get double-teamed and you have to handle some things, some physical play, and he's been good."
Much to love in kicking game
Look at the box scores in this newspaper's scoreboard page on a Saturday during the high school football season and you'll likely see far too much "(kick failed)" for the extra points following touchdowns. You'll likely see far fewer field goals even attempted.
Minot High doesn't have that problem and they stayed in a close, come-from-behind win because of a rare reliable leg.
Senior kicker Ben Love booted a career-long 44-yard field goal in the Magicians' 34-27 overtime win over Fargo Davies on Friday. The kick, which very few teams can even consider taking, counted for the team's only points in the third quarter. Two Davies' touchdowns followed in the fourth quarter and without those three points MHS was looking at a two-score deficit in the final minutes of regulation.
Love hit a 37-yarder in the second quarter and is 4 for 4 on the season. He is 7 for 7 on extra points and has seven touchbacks. Holmen noted that Love's field goals have increased MHS leads from one-score advantages to two-score leads.
"Part of it is just where you're at," MHS coach Barry Holmen said. "If it's fourth-and-12 on the 25, (Love) has a good chance to make it and I would say almost a better chance to make it than to convert a 4th-and-long first down in that situation."
Holmen was also pleased to see the late-game composure match Love's talent.
"We lose if he doesn't kick the extra point after that last touchdown in regulation," Holmen said. "He pounded 'er right through."
Love followed Friday's successful night with an unofficial visit to the University of North Dakota. UND fell to South Dakota State, but Love enjoyed learning more about the program he may kick for next.
"The special teams coach walked me through the place, showed me the locker rooms and I got to go on the field during warmups," Love said.
UND is at the top of Love's list of colleges that have shown interest in him as a place-kicker.
Love said he hit a pair of field goals from 57 yards during practice Tuesday, but is intent on training as diligently on his kickoffs to ensure MHS a field-position advantage.
"When I hit 'em good they're going where I want 'em to, but I'm still mishitting a couple every game," he said. "It really is just all about striking the ball right. If I get it right it goes about however far I need it to."
Pizzo doesn't mind being singled out
MHS senior cornerback Josh Pizzo had a pretty good idea Fargo Davies' final play of overtime was coming his way.
On third down of the Eagles' lone overtime possession, junior quarterback Aiden Hartness tried to find twin brother Tristen (6-foot-2) on a corner route. Pizzo, listed at 5-8, knocked the pass down.
"And next play I knew that they were on the 8-yard line, so obviously they're not gonna run it," Pizzo said. "If they had a lot of confidence they would've ran it. They sent (Tristen Hartness) around on a fade and he beat me for a second ... so I got on his inside and just tripped him up there and he couldn't really make a play on the ball."
Game over.
Defensive coordinator Jerry Danelson described Pizzo as "probably the best cover corner I've had for a long time." Pizzo is on his way to validating that praise.
"I just had to stay calm, just not panic and just do what I know how to do," Pizzo said. "He just kind of ran up to me and then went straight for the corner. Not a lot of contact, he just tripped up."
MHS swimmers notch qualifying times
Led by 10 swimmers, who clocked at least one state-qualifying time each, the Minot High School girls team beat Williston 126-59 on Monday.
Through two meets, MHS has qualifiers in all 12 events, including 1-meter diving. Junior swimmer Francesca Walker-Rozo, a Minnesota transfer, won the 50-meter freestyle and 100 butterfly in Monday's dual. Both wins marked qualifiers for the state meet and Walker-Rozo has also qualified in the 100 freestyle and as a member of two relay teams.
"Swimming against Williston is always a challenge," MHS coach Dan Hinton said in a press release. "It is one of the meets every season that the team looks forward to. We had a strong performance all around."
The Majettes finished first in 11 of the meet's 12 events. Junior swimmer McKenna Brown won the 200 and 500 freestyle events and joined Walker-Rozo on winning relays in the 200 medley and 400 freestyle.
MHS senior divers Emmalee Stach, Maddie Bickel and Paige Melby finished first, second and fourth, respectively. WHS freshman Katie Olson took third.
Williston junior Ketti Ringwall won the 100 freestyle for the Coyotes' lone win. For results from Monday's meet see D2.

To the editor:
While the rail enthusiasts wax poetic about their beloved train, we are losing millions of dollars. While the Adirondack Scenic Railroad monopolizes the rail corridor, it prevents its use by a large and growing population of other recreational users. Don't take my word for it; just check out these links and see for yourself: www.outdoorindustry.org/images/researchfiles/OIA.OutdoorRecEconomyReport2012.pdf, www.huffingtonpost.com/david-kroodsm/The-future-of-travel-bicy_b_779117.html and, soon to be released, "2012 Economic Impact of Snowmobiles in NY" showing $866 million in economic impact. These reports were not done by ARTA (Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates), but they are very telling indications of where we should be headed. If our communities are serious about courting recreational users, then we better get going. "Time's a wastin'," as the song goes.
There is a massive group of baby boomers who are retiring and taking to recreational pursuits. They are looking to keep fit, and they are willing to travel to do it. Many of these folks will buy second homes in areas that provide access to this type of amenity. They are thinking about places where they can recreate with their grandchildren safely. If we build it, they WILL come.
There is a growing contingent of young families looking to get away from their urban homes to a place where they can enjoy the outdoors with their children safely. If we build it, they WILL come.
There is a tremendous group of snowmobilers just itching to ride to Tupper and beyond, as well as those in the Tri Lakes who are aching to go south to explore that area. If we build it, they WILL come.
There are more than 200,000 campers at Rollins Pond and Fish Creek who could ride to Tupper Lake to visit the Wild Center, shop and/or swim at the beach. If we build it, they WILL come.
While I give the railroad folk credit for their enthusiasm, dedication and hard work, there is no way that they can make the same economic impact that a recreation trail will. They know it; their own study by Stone Consulting told them as much. That is why they are clinging to the potential of shipping manufactured goods or raw materials out of the Park on the train. But who is going to do that? And what exactly are they going to ship? The Adirondack Scenic Railroad runs a tourist operation, not a freight operation. Class III service will be necessary to run real passenger service and freight service. A private railroad company would need to step up and operate the railroad. Winter service as a passenger train from Utica would also have to be run by a private operator and would prevent snowmobile use on the tracks. If it was viable, then a private rail company would be clamoring to operate. Where are they?
If you agree, then please go to our website, www.thearta.org, and sign our petition. Let's "get 'er done!"

OPA Announces Family Planning Research Grants
The 2005 Family Planning Service Delivery Improvement (SDI) Research Grants were awarded to the following:
How Well Do Family Planning Providers Link their Low Income Clients to Primary and/or Specialty Care
Grantee Organization:
University of Alabama-Birmingham
1530 3rd Avenue South
Birmingham, AL 35294
Principal Investigator:
Janet M. Bronstein, Ph.D.
Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2007
Project Description: The specific aims of this project are (1) to examine the range of referral facilitation activities provided in family planning settings serving low-income women; (2) to explore the factors associated with family planning clients' decisions to seek and ability to receive care for other medical conditions, including the role played by referral facilitation and discussions of the problem at the family planning visits, and (3) to compare the level of concern about the ability to refer family planning clients for needed primary and specialty care between clinicians who do and do not provide family planning care to clients with Medicaid coverage for these services. Family planning providers who participate in and clients who are enrolled in Medicaid family planning demonstration programs in Alabama and Arkansas are the populations under study. Data for this project will be collected through three surveys:
- a survey of family planning clinicians to assess referral practices;
- a survey of these clinicians' family planning clients, to examine their care-seeking behavior for general health problems and the role played by their family planning providers; and
- a survey of office physicians who are authorized as Medicaid family planning providers but are seeing few or no Medicaid clients.
Men's Reproductive and Sexual Health Practices, Attitudes and Service Utilization
Grantee Organization:
Columbia University Medical Center
60 Haven Avenue, Suite B-2
New York, NY 10032
Principal Investigator:
Debra S.Kalmuss, Ph.D.
Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2008
Project Description: The objective of the proposed study is to examine men's reproductive and sexual health (RSH) practices, attitudes, and service utilization in order to inform the development of programs for adolescent and older men. The research plan is to employ both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine men's RSH status, attitudes and practices and how they vary across race/ethnic, socioeconomic, age, and marital/relationship status in order to increase the utilization of RSH services for men. The quantitative approach would use national data from Cycle 6 of the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) supplemented by two datasets targeting high-risk groups of males aged 18-30 from northern Manhattan and the Bronx. The qualitative component - use of focus groups - is intended to obtain a more in-depth understanding of men's perceptions regarding utilization, such as barriers to men's use of RSH and possible strategies to increase men's utilization of such services. The final step in the proposed study will involve the translation of research findings into suggestions for program development and/or enhancement.
Improving Services for Latina Women and their Partners: a CAPACITIES Approach
Grantee Organization:
Georgetown University, Department of OB/GYN

Principal Investigator:
Rebecka Lundgren, MPH
Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2008
Project Description: This intervention research, which will be conducted collaboratively by the Institute for Reproductive Health, Georgetown University, and Planned Parenthood of San Diego and Riverside Counties, will determine whether including the Standard Days Method (SDM) as an option for clients results in an increased focus on the couple in counseling for all methods of contraception; whether incorporating a couple perspective into services results in improved satisfaction with and use of services; whether it increases couple communication and participation in family planning use and decision-making; and whether it results in improved used of and satisfaction with family planning methods. SDM is a simple, effective fertility awareness-based method that is being offered in programs around the world, including a growing number in the US. The importance of addressing couples may be particularly relevant for Latinos, given cultural considerations.
Couples and Contraceptive Practice

Principal Investigator:
Paul Whittaker, PhD
Project Period: 09/30/2005 - 09/29/2008
Project Description: The Family Planning Council proposes to conduct a mixed methods investigation to study the feasibility and effectiveness of couples-focused contraceptive services, which will use an integrated complement of ethnographic and quantitative methods to attain three aims. The first is to compare the attitudes, subjective norms, and behavioral beliefs of young adult men and women regarding the involvement of intimate partners in contraception decisions and the influence of these partners on contraceptive use. The second is to identify the attitudes, subjective norms, and behavioral beliefs of Title X providers regarding the current and potential provision of couples-focused contraception services. The third is to develop and field-test the potential utility of a culturally relevant couples-focused intervention that promotes informed contraception decisions and effective contraception use.

When pianist Paul Jacobs died of AIDS in 1983, his New York Times obituary, penned by the then ubiquitous piano authority Harold C. Schonberg, mentioned only that Jacobs "died after a long illness". In the context of an obituary for one of the outstanding American pianists of the post-war generation -- and in light of the fact that other obituaries from the same year dutifully reported heart attacks, cancers, suicides, and other specific causes of death -- Schonberg's wording sounds as vacuous and evasive as a report saying that J.F. Kennedy "died after a brief limousine ride".
Things have improved considerably since then, and not only at the New York Times (which now has openly gay chief music critic). Some may even think that the pursuit of sexual glasnost in the classical music world has gone too far by pushing musicians toward pointless exhibitionism and general bad taste -- from Vanessa-Mae's soft-porn posters, to Yuja Wang's skimpy concert dress (with its clearly implied promise of a beaver shot for those lucky to sit in the front row), to Jeremy Denk's interview whose topics included "cute gay twinky boy composers" and "watching someone masturbate on the couch".
I, however, do not see such examples as in any way detracting from the dignity and nobility of classical music, if only because there has never been anything particularly dignified and noble about those in the business of creating and performing serious music. After all, the list of important composers includes fellows who frequented whorehouses (Brahms), molested children (Saint-Saens), authored virulently antisemitic pamphlets (Wagner), and glorified murderous political regimes (Shostakovich). As for performers, only Norman Lebrecht seems to have the requisite stamina for listing all those sadistic sociopaths, greedy opportunists, shameless liars, arrogant charlatans, and philandering husbands among masters of the podium, poets of the keyboard, wizards of the bow, and conquerors of the high C. And let us not forget about opera, which offers some of the most imaginative music ever written to accompany tales of murder, adultery, incest, deceit, betrayal, promiscuity, and other similarly ignoble yet irresistibly entertaining manifestations of human nature.
With this in mind, why should it be inappropriate for Yuja Wang to play a Rachmaninov concerto as a soundtrack to my dreamy thoughts about her immaculately waxed pussy, barely concealed by the edge of her tight mini-dress? And if Jeremy Denk thinks that references to twinky gay boys (as opposed to hairy bears, or strictly anonymous encounters with gloryholes in public toilets) will bring more people to his intellectually demanding recitals, I don't see why this is less appropriate than a hugely popular opera in which a teenage girl all but copulates with a freshly severed human head.
In the end, this brave new sexualized classical music world of ours is really not all that brave. The day is yet to come when Steinway & Co. will be marketing Ben Wa Balls for pianists eager to inject that extra ounce of ecstasy into their Chopin mazurka; or when beefy men in drag and high heels will be conducting scorching performances of Beethoven's Eroica and Mahler's 9th. If this is the future, I face it with the serenity of a Buddhist monk. Because when people make music, the only thing that matters to me is the actual music they make. And music is one thing I've always enjoyed best with my eyes closed.

Finance Minister Tom Marshall. — Telegram file photo
Finance Minister Tom Marshall released audited financial statements this afternoon for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011, showing a surplus of more than $500 million.
Unlike the annual budget which is a forecast and lays out government's plan for the coming year, Marshall said the public accounts represent the actual consolidated financial results of government and all organizations controlled by it. Once the fiscal year is over the public accounts are audited by the Auditor General.
The 2010-11 public accounts show a surplus of $597.9 million compared to the originally budgeted deficit of $194.3 million.
Marshall said this is the fifth surplus for the province in the past six fiscal years. Net debt has decreased by $94 million to $8.1 billion and lower borrowing levels led to a reduction in debt servicing costs of $53.4 million.
"Newfoundland and Labrador saw significant economic growth in 2010-11 resulting in increased corporate and personal income taxes as well as higher revenues from our oil and mining industries," said Marshall. "We once again lowered the province's net debt while continuing our commitment to maintaining a competitive tax regime. However, even with lower debt servicing costs, our total debt expenses were still $837 million. We must continue to live within our means to ensure that we can build on the progress that has been made to date."
The Public Accounts and related reports for 2010-11 are available online at www.gov.nl.ca/fin/public_accounts/index.html

BELMAR – Members of this Jersey Shore borough's Italian American and Roman Catholics want San Gennaro to get fat.
Though it might seem impossible to engorge a martyred 3rd century Italian bishop, the visitors at Belmar's second Feast of San Gennaro celebration this weekend will be fattening the saint with dollars, not food.
Festival goers are following the Italian tradition of attaching paper money to a statue of San Gennaro, a fundraiser for the Belmar Hurricane Sandy Displaced Family Grant Program.
San Gennaro is the patron saint of Naples, Italy, seen as a protector of the city nestled in the shadow of the volcano Mt. Vesuvius. A relic of San Gennaro was on display at St. Rose Church Saturday morning.
The festival began with a Mass in Italian at St. Rose, followed by a procession down Main Street to the statue's display stand at 11th Avenue.
"One thing we lost in translation is the sense of the connectedness to those that have gone before us, we call them heroes, that's what saints are, and we don't know enough about them," said celebrant Msgr. Thomas Gervasio, Vicar General of the Diocese of Trenton. "If we did, we might have that comfortable society where we look out for one another, where we help each other, where we see people as part of our families, our extended families, where everybody becomes part of a living tradition because we have the saints with us. It is a custom that is lost in America, and we have to create something new."
Gervasio connected the spirit to the Hurricane Sandy disaster.
"Tragedies do bring us together," Gervasio said. "There is a spirit that come,s bigger than the group that is collected together, it tells us 'lets work together,' 'let's get it up and running.' We are a special people, we are Americans." .
Neptune resident John DeBartolo, a St. Rose parishioner, said Belmar could adopt San Gennaro just as Naples did.
"The Neopolitans look at San Gennaro as guarding their city, it is a nice tradition," DeBartolo said. "We could use a guardian here on the Jersey Shore, especially following Sandy – plus, there are an awful lot of Italian Americans here."
DeBartolo said it was important to keep Italian traditions alive.
"It's been part of our culture for 2,000 years," DeBartolo said. "It grounds us to our ancestors."
Former Belmar Councilwoman Claire Deicke, a second generation American and this year's Daughter of San Gennaro, said the culture still runs strong in New Jersey's Italian community.
"I love my Italian heritage," Deicke said. "My heart may be American, but my soul is Italian."
Jersey Shore restaurateur Joe Leone, whose eponymous catering business was working the festival, said the festival cut closely to a genuine Italian feel.
'It is a good representation of the Italian-American culture because it captures the spirit of the saint himself," Leone said. "As a devout Catholic, I'm big into celebrating the saints – most Italian festivals are so commercial and so blown up, it is interesting that this brings the culture back."
This year's Son of San Gennaro, former state Senator Thomas Gagliano linked his heritage and the festival to the Italian immigrant experience.
"If my father had stayed in Italy, I probably would have become a shoemaker or a tailor, but instead I have been moderately successful," Gagliano said. "As we go forward, we realize just how many opportunities we have, and how many opportunities are here for us. In some instances, we worry about that because it seems as though we don't have the opportunities we had before, but I think we will again, I think the nation will continue to thrive."
As morning became afternoon, the crowd at the festival's long line of food stands and shops began to thicken.
As with any Italian festival, there are plentiful food options, pizza from Angelottis and Taste of Italy, sausage and onions from Tony's Sausage or seafood from Tony's Clam Bar, crabcakes from My Two Sons, pasta and grill options from Gaetano's, gyros from Chris's Curbside Cravings, hotdogs from Jersey Johnny's Grill, London broil sandwiches from Louis Linguine's BBQ, which could all be topped off with cannoli from Joe Leone's.
Musical entertainment on Saturday was provided by the Chuck Lambert Band. When the festival continues on Sunday, DeLauro from the Rat Pack Band Swing Party Orchestra will peform Frank Sinatra classics, followed by swing music by the Jazz Lobsters Big Band, which will be accompanied by swing dancing lessons in the street.
For those who need to work up the courage to dance, a beer and wine garden is placed at the southern end of the festival, along with a family fun area including games, activities, a petting zoo and camel and pony rides.
While there is plenty of fun to be had, the festival's Italian-American Businessman of the Year Thomas Faragalli, owner of T&T Coast Buick in Sea Girt reminded parishioners about the festival's purpose.
"This weekend is about raising money for hurricane victims," Faragalli said. "We're going to raise some money, we're going to get people back on their feet."
The festival continues Saturday until 9 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. between 10th and 12th Avenues, Belmar.

QUESTION: This picture was purchased at an estate sale in the Cleveland area. I have enclosed a photo of a signature on the lower right. What is the name of the artist? Has he painted other pictures? What is the value? Where can I find further information?
Betty McCafferty, Cleveland
ANSWER: You have an etching made by the Scottish artist William Renison (1866-c. 1940). The title is "Stirling Castle" and it was made around 1900. Renison was born in Glasgow and specialized in depicting the Scottish countryside. While he did produce oil paintings, his primary medium was etching with dry point. He exhibited his work in Scotland, England and Ireland, and if you search his name on the Internet you can find many examples of his work.
Stirling Castle is one of the largest and most important in Scotland, dating in some parts to the 14th century. Mary Queen of Scots was crowned there.
QUESTION: I found this coffee pot and spoon holder in the attic of my husband's family home when it was being sold. They are both marked "PB & CWCR" "750." I would like to know what the metal is, when they were made and the value.
Catherine B. Aldrich, Cleveland Heights
ANSWER: Though I was unable to determine the maker, they were most likely produced in the late 19th century in the United States. If you look at products made by the Pairpoint Corporation of New Bedford, Massachusetts, you will find similar shapes, characteristic of the period.
If the items were sterling silver, they would be marked as such. Instead, they are probably silver-plated, an electrolytic process which deposits a thin layer of sterling silver on a base metal, often nickel silver. This process was patented in England in 1840 and revolutionized the production of silver hollowware, making it affordable to the middle class. The original set would have included a teapot, creamer and lidded sugar bowl.
QUESTION: I have had this framed 1854 receipt for liquor for many years. It measures 7" x 8". The tape was put on it by whoever framed it.
Jeanette O. Bolles, Macedonia
ANSWER: There is minimal monetary value to the piece, especially with the staining created by the tape you mention. Still, there is wide interest in collecting and preserving items of "ephemera," a Greek word that has come to describe transitory printed matter not intended to be retained or preserved.
The Ephemera Society of America quotes Maurice Rickard, the authority on the subject: "the essential appeal of most forms of ephemera lies in their fragility, their vulnerability---the very improbability of their survival." Areas of collector interest include advertising items, postcards, tickets, invitations, and old stock certificates among others.
QUESTION: I have a small Hummel bust of the Madonna that was my mother's before I was born (1945). Besides the imprinted crown stamp it has GERMANY printed in green in a circle and "HM4." I am pretty sure this is an early Hummel but have never been able to find it. Can you help?
Patricia Zeller, Cleveland
ANSWER: The figurines designed and licensed by sister Maria I. Hummel, beginning in 1935, were made by the Bavarian firm Goebel. Though Goebel was the maker of your piece, it is not a Hummel. It was actually designed by the sculptor Reinhold Unger in 1934.
The firm produced a series of Madonna images from 1934 until the early 1960s, designed by a range of artists. Most of these religious figures were made of terracotta and finished with a white glaze, making them less valuable today than the colorfully painted examples by Sister Hummel. By contract, all Hummel designed-models carried her signature.
The mark on the bottom of your example is known as the "wide crown mark" and was used until 1949. You do not mention the condition though it appears from the photo that there is damage to her robe. A perfect example would be worth in the range of $100.
For consideration: Send clear digital photographs of the entire object and any identifying marks (taken against a contrasting plain background), along with your questions and any information you have about the object and its origin, and email them to email@example.com. Submission indicates willingness to have your name and information published in any medium. Include your full name, address and daytime phone number. Estimates are based on photograph only. Condition, authenticity and economic factors may affect value. Marting is a Cleveland-area antiques consultant.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - The spiritual leader of a militant Islamic group linked to al-Qaida was arrested in his hospital bed Saturday as police accused his fugitive top aide of responsibility for many of Indonesia's terrorist bombings.
Defense Minister Matori Abdul Djalil stopped short of directly accusing Abu Bakar Bashir of organizing the bloody nightclub attack last week in Bali, but said it was unlikely that he would not have known about many of the country's bomb attacks.
Matori blamed the nightclub attack on al-Qaida "and its internal network" - a reference to Bashir's organization, Jemaah Islamiyah.
A pair of bombs exploded Oct. 12 outside a Bali nightclub jammed with tourists, setting off a conflagration that left at least 183 people dead and more than 300 injured.
Matori said planning for many bombings in Indonesia fell to Bashir's long-time right-hand man, a militant known as Hambali who is wanted by security agencies across Southeast Asia.
"A lot of information and the progress of our intelligence work confirm that Hambali is Abu Bakar Bashir's vice chairman," Matori said.
"Hambali is a terrorist from Indonesia. He's always been mentioned by those who did bombings in the past as their commander."

Chien-Ming Wang -- who made his third spring start today -- declined the Yankees' contract offer, so the team "renewed" his contract at a figure of about $489,000. Teams are allowed to unilaterally pick a salary (within some limits) for players not yet eligible for arbitration.
Wang was second in Cy Young voting last year, behind Johan Santana ($12 million this year) and ahead of Roy Halladay ($12.8 million this year).
Although teams usually renew at a lower salary than offered, to try to get the player to sign rather than take a renewal, some agents believe the player should force the team to renew the contract. That way, if the player winds up going to arbitration -- where salary history is a factor -- he can say he did not acknowledge that the team's chosen salary was reflective of his worth.
Robinson Cano (who signed his contract, avoiding renewal) and Wang will almost certainly be eligible for arbitration after this season.
Other news today: Jason Giambi was scratched from the lineup with cramps in his calves. Said manager Joe Torre: "Since he's making that trip tomorrow (to Fort Myers to face Boston), I said, 'I'll give you off today.' " Giambi did not take batting practice today.
The lineup: Damon CF, Jeter SS, Sardinha DH (replacing Giambi), Rodriguez 3B, Matsui LF, Posada C, Cabrera RF, Mientkiewicz 1B, Cairo 2B, Wang P
(Update: In four innings, Wang gave up one run -- a monster homer to center by David Dellucci -- on three hits and struck out four. Mariano Rivera followed with a 10-pitch inning, allowing a double to Josh Barfield.)
Joe Girardi is calling the game for YES. And while he might be the Yankees' manager-in-waiting, he spent some time in Torre's office this morning and all seemed fine between the two.

I had been searching for videos of folks with asthma who have struggled with unhelpful responses of others while they are having a severe attack and trying to get their emergency medicines in on time. I've had issues of people who care about me choosing this momoment to quote scripture to me and confronting me about sin, I've had people not understand what is going on and yell at me for not cleaning the sink immediately, and I've also had people respond very usefully by staying calm and asking if they can help me get my medicines or if they need to call 911.
I found a group called asthmaUK and they have posted a number of patient stories, including one that talks about having to kick out her boyfriend and sister routinely whenever she has a severe attack because she can't cope with her own breathing issues and also trying to help them deal emotionally at the same time. Their channel is called "asthma UK" and it has a number of other good videos, mostly aimed at moderate persistent or severe persistent severity ranges. They seem like a good group.
Also, as a side effect, I found another video, if you search, "asthma uc inner city", and see a title that is something like "asthma in inner city children", you will find a general practitioner talking about asthma care in the USA for those at or close to the poverty line where specialists are often not available and the ignorance of general practitioners. He has a group that seeks to certify general practitioners working in those circumstances to basic asthma management.
I am on Symbicort ... which at the moment is up to 4 times a day and at the beginning it was every 4hrs around the clock. I know at one time, Symbicort was used to be a twice a day long laster, and have read US reports that docs didnt want patients using more than that. I have been on Symbicort about 10years now and was told right from the beginning that if things are going bad to up it to 4times a day.
Just thinking out loud Will check into the Youtube stuff. I try to tune people out in those situations, focus on the individual who is dialling 911, usually they have to ask questions to me and rely back. Most of my 911 situations have happened at work, and all staff are training to deal with 911 situations so most are calm. I have been the one dialing 911 before and you cant freak out for the sake of the individual. And well not until after you get a chance to check out the firemen and emts ... Men and Uniform, Yummy!!!
And on that note!! LoL
Thanks again;
I'm not sure what exactly you're asking regarding the difference of asthma treatment. From looking it up, Symbicort is a combination maintenance drug like the Advair 500/50 I take. I've never had an allergist tell me to take Advair more than twice a day because of concerns with asthma related deaths due to the salmeterol component. They tell me to double or at times triple the inhaled corticosteroid component by adding FloVent 220. Usually it is a mild exacerbation they are trying to reverse early on to avoid the need for prednisone.
In terms of the medical system, if a person is disabled and has no one to take care of them, they go to a nursing home. Some are good, some are inhumane. I would have no one to take care of me and could end up in an inhumane situation since I wouldn't have someone on the outside keeping tabs on the nursing home and moving me if needed. So, I avoid that by having DNR/DNI orders, but sometimes hospitals ignore it especially if the person is young. So, I try to avoid hospitals and handle it at home. I've lost consciousness from attacks, but I still feel the same because my biggest fear is not death, it's spending 40 years in an inhumane nursing home.
So, in my case it's very important I get my nebs in on time. I've not lost consciousness from an attack in 8 years as I am aggressive with the nebs early on and I detect a decline early. I've tried to educate people in my life who care about me what to do in an emergency, but some refuse the education. So, that's been my challenge and why I was searching youtube.
I've not experienced socialized medicine, so I don't know the differences. The good part of the USA system is if you have money, you can get excellent care and there are many research centers.
Otherwise, the system is fragmented, which is what the second video is addressing. When I had mild asthma, I saw a general practitioner and it was okay....only when I started having attacks in which the albuterol failed to clear it and I would pass out for 5 min at a time, his assessment was that nothing was wrong and he refused to change my meds. I self referred to an allergist since it was a emergency situation, and I've been treated for asthma for over a decade. It was only last year, at my own request, that other diseases where ruled out. Even so, I had to request the pulmonologist rule out sleep apnea, alpha 1 deficiency, etc. Differential diagnosis should have been years ago, but an asthma specialist only treats asthma. So, it's not coordinated.
I can't qualify for disability in my state even if my doctors believe I need it and even if I'm on a ventilator every month for a week for years. My state is strict in using predicted values of spirometry instead of personal best. My personal best varies a lot from the norms....meaning I won't ever be able to access that benefit.
My state is good at providing me my controller meds at $3 for each one per month. It's a long story, but being on this program ends up disqualifying me from going to National Jewish...it's because the programs are not coordinated together, and so I can only access one, but not both.
So, overall, lack of coordination between providers has been an issue. I was impressed by asthma UK as their advice line also addresses psychosocial components of the disease. In my experience in the USA, they have problems just making sure everyone has access to controller medicines such that the psychosocial aspects get ignored. This is what the second video addresses.
However, the good thing is that if you have knowledge you normally can get decent asthma care in the USA, but it falls on the patient to advocate for themselves.
Let me know if you were wanting other information instead.
I've had good experiences with allergists. The first thing the allergist did was to stablize me with a burst of prednisone. I also had a number I could call and talk to an allergist for emergencies. After the burst, she increased the inhaled corticosteroids from FloVent 110 to FloVent 220 to see if that would hold me. When the albuterol failed again, their on call person called in CombiVent (a stronger rescue med) to a 24 hour pharmacy and gave me instructions that if it got worse, go to the ER. She then put me on Advair, adding in the long acting bronchodilator salmeterol. She told me to add in the FloVent if I I have a mild exacerbation because she was concerned with salmeterol related deaths and didn't want me to take the Advair500/50 more than twice a day. She ordered imaging of sinuses and also to rule out GERD. As a result, I was placed on antihistamines with a decongestant and an anti GERD medicine Nexium. As I kept having to use prednisone bursts, she also used mucus thinning agents like Mucinex. Her strategy was to aggressively use other medicines to try to lower my dependence on prednisone as much as possible. When the CombiVent failed, she then got me a nebulizer with DuoNeb. She issued me an asthma aciton plan within the first month, which ended up being modified as she learned more of how my asthma responded. She also did allergy testing, education on avoidance of allergens, and tried the allergy shots.
So, they start you with a middle dosage of inhaled corticosteroid only and closely monitor the response, either decreasing the dosage of inhalled corticosteroid or increasing it and adding other meds as needed. Allergists I've seen try really hard to control the asthma with the least amount of drugs possible.
About 13 years ago, when I was first diagnosed, they only used prednisone if you were on the verge of death due to concerns with the side effects. I found that if I wait that long, I have to take a lot more than if I take it at the point where I know an severe exacerbation is inevitable and increasing inhaled corticosteroids won't stop it. For example, after I get a cold, I know increasing the inhaled cortisteroids will not control the exacerbation because they never do. I found if I take 40 mg for 3 days a week after the cold, it stops the exacerbation quickly. If I wait until I crash, it takes 500 mg....and I always crash after a cold. The allergist wasn't happy I did that, though.
From what I understand, the national recommendations have changed and allergists are using prednisone much earlier in situations where a severe exacerbation is inevitable, even before it happens. So, now I can look at my allergist and say, "I told you so" . My allergist said there have been other changes in the national recommendations, but it took awhile for me to figure out an action plan that works so I was not open to changing my action plan. He was okay with that, saying my action plan was still reasonable. So, I'm unsure of what exactly the new guidelines are other than they are encouraging allergists to use prednisone earlier before a person is on the verge of death because in that way they should be able to use less prednisone to pull the person out.
Again, let me know if I've answered your question...my entry is kind of long since I'm unsure what exactly you were wanting to know about asthma management in the USA.
I also wish to clarify that my professional training is as a licensed therapist in physical medicine and rehabilitation. So, when I've worked in ICUs, my role is to assess a person's ability to do daily activities and make recommendations to the discharge planner for follow rehabilitation and if the person is safe to go home immediately or if they need to go to a rehabilitation center before going home. Sometimes I"ve worked in rehabilitation centers with folks who've had strokes, or joint replacements, or severe COPD/asthma exacerbations to get them ready to hopefully return home. So, although I've taken anatomy and physiology courses and done cadaver labs, my training is not primarily with drugs.
But I can tell you, as I have above, my personal experiences with how allergists have instructed me as well as readings and national recommendations that I've gotten on my own regarding the USA recommendations for managing asthma.
I went back and reread my entry and I am sorry it was rather garbled. And I am not sure exactly what I was asking. However you have given me quite a bit of information which I will need to reread a couple of time to absorb it all
Alot of what you have sent sounds like things that I have done already. All but the Action plan, which I think I will do some resource on and see if maybe I can at least be ahead of the game, instead of going through what I did.
My issue at the moment is the family doctor. I have one and Thankful for it, but it is a teaching clinic concept and never get the same Doc twice. After going for so many year to the same family doctor where you build a relationship to never know who you get. It is very uncomfortable and hard. Maybe that is just me, I dont know.
Thanks for answering my questions. I do finally feel better, its been a long couple of weeks. Still not a 100% and still tire easily, but I can walk and get round better. Still one Symbicort 4 times day which I should be able to start reducing in another week or so. Have converted back to Ventilion, which I think really helped in the last 2-3days. So I am thinking I am going to stick with that.
Will reread your entries and holler if there are questions
Thank You again;
I never actually said, "I told you so" to my allergist...that part I was joking. We had a disagreement on when to start prednsione, and then the national guidelines changed to support my position and he had to come in and tell me that. I tried to not say, "nah, nah....I told you so" .
To be more focused on your question about Symbicort: I've never taken it, so I don't know. It looks to be a controller medicine along the same lines as Advair 500/50. Advair has two components-the long acting bronchodilator salmeterol and the inhaled corticosteroid fluticasone proprionate. When I first got asthma 13 years ago, the allergist I saw at the time was concerned with reports of salmeterol causing asthma related deaths. So, if I was having a mild exacerbation, she wanted me to increase the fluticasone propionate only. She did this by having me add Flovent 220.
When I first saw an allergist, I lived in Houston, TX. The emergency rooms were overburdened, especially with patients who could not access routine healthcare any other way. Therefore, they were having problems with emergency rooms not accurately assessing the severity of asthma attacks and sending people home who then died. So, using the ER was the last resort and the allergists would try to manage the situation themselves if possible by having a number you could call at any time and then working the person in at the office. They gave out nebulizer and some prednsione to asthmatics so they can get the medicine in quickly instead of having to go to an ER and waiting for a few hours to get the medicine due to the ER's mistakes. So, my attitude about not going to hospitals has nothing to do with that....allergists routinely give people with severe asthma a nebulizer and prednisone to use at home so they can get the medicine in faster instead of having to wait for an ambulance. Under certain circumstances, you do call an ambulance, and while you are waiting you start the nebulizer treatment.
They do the same thing with heart attacks. It used to be you had to call an ambulance and then wait until you go to the ER to use a defibribulator (the paddles they shock you with). Now, they still have you call the ambulance, but there are automatic defibrillators in the community that are used to shock the heart into a normal rhythm before the ambulance arrives. They're trying to get the treatment in quicker to increase survival rates.
My action plan does not take into account my resistance to going to the ER as my allergist has to make his recommendations based on what he thinks is safe. He believes its safer to get the nebulizer and prednisone started immediately as opposed to having to wait for the ambulance before starting it. He has me going to the ER if the nebulizer fails to get me above 60% peak flows or it fails to reverse the attack, if I have to use more than 6 nebs in a 24 hour period, if I can't talk, if I am turning blue, etc. Basically, they are trying to take the pressure off the ERs as much as possible.
I'm unsure why you say, "converted back to Ventolin", as usually they have me use Advair 500/50 together with albuterol rescue medicines. So, this may also be a difference.
I agree with you, it's better to have the same doctor over time especiall if you have bad asthma.
Not sure you were wanting more to read, but was hoping to be more focused on your specifc questions.
Yes, Symbicort is a controller/long laster. Majority of the time it works great. but I find once you are in an attack (sever attack, I should say), I cant get anything in unless it is a nebulizer with the mask.
This time around ambulance was there within 5mins. And no waiting at the ER. Not sure that is because I was so bad or the new system they are working. Thought it was rather cool...all networked. Calgary also has a new hospital that just opened I think that helps as well.
Converted back to Ventolin: I have been on Bricanyl which is a powdered inhaler. I was having difficulty using the Mist Ventolin even with a chamber. But during this time, the hospital put me back on it to see if it would help. And when I went back to the doc, he suggested to continue using it see if it wouldnt be better. and I think it has.
Allergists I've seen say to continue with the controller Advair 500/50 and then use albuterol/ipratropium bromide with the nebulizer for a severe attack as well as adding in prednisone. If the albuterol/ipratropium bromide with the meter dose inhaler fails, then I use the nebulizer.
I did wish to clarify the ERs in Houston when the allergist was first setting me up on my daily medicines and an action plan are actually very good. They had some of the best trauma care in the nation. The main issue, as I mentioned above, that I've heard about the ERs is that asthamatics who can't get care any other way use the ERs as a regular doctor's appointment. So, ER folks are just human beings and sometimes make mistakes when determining the situation...but it is also very true in American medicine (in my experience) that they emphasize getting emergency medicines in early and not waiting...the reason for automatic external defibrillators in the community....also as I already mentioned. Looking at the Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America videos, it appears there is a lot of talk about this problem (people not being able to access follow up care and using the ER as a regular doctor's appointment) going on.
You are teaching me a lot about asthma medicines. I've not heard of Bricanyl, but it looks like a rescue drug of some sort.
I guess that you were using that at home instead of the nebulizer I use since the meter dose inhaler was not working.
Also, before I left Houston, TX I saw a person who is board certified in allergy, asthma, and immunology and also board certified in emergency medicine who was part of the same group as the first allergist I saw. He's the one that told me to use one neb after another if the first one didn't work well. I asked him about the risk of cardiac attack doing that. He told me when he worked in the ER he would see asthmatics be dead on arrival due to not being aggressive enough. He was using hypothetical numbers, but said, "if you use one neb after another, you may have a 15% chance of a heart attack, but if you don't you have a 90% chance of dying from an uncontrollable asthma attack. All risk is relative, so I'm telling you in an emergency to go with the 15% chance of dying. Just get the asthma controlled." So, that's also part of the rationale of the allergists who set me up with the neb.

Joe LaCaze, a founding member of the venerable New Orleans sludge-metal band Eyehategod, died unexpectedly in New Orleans on Aug. 23 at the age of 42. The drummer had spent more than half his life in the influential group, which had earlier that week returned from a five-week European tour celebrating its 25th anniversary.
Eyehategod frontman Mike IX Williams said, "We have lost a great friend and amazing musician. He truly will be missed. His love of all different kinds of music and New Orleans culture cannot be matched." Williams confirmed that a full-length album of new Eyehategod material, with LaCaze on drums, has been completed and will be released sometime in 2014.
On Saturday (Sept. 14), a memorial show for LaCaze will be held at Siberia, 2227 St. Claude Ave., featuring the heavyweight local hard-rock bands Suplecs and Mountain of Wizard. Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit the LaCaze's widow and daughter.
Donation funds have been set up, as well, for the LaCaze family. Checks can be made payable to the Lilith LaCaze or Joseph LaCaze Memorial Fund at Capital One banks, or via PayPal, using the email address email@example.com.

A 2010 graduate of Jackson High School, Joseph Hines was a standout scholar and athlete in football, basketball and baseball. His speed, strength and smarts drew all-area and all-conference honors, as well as interest from several universities, including Harvard, Princeton, Ohio State and Bowling Green.
In 2009, Hines was a state winner in the Wendy's High School Heisman Award, which recognizes athletics, academics and a student-athlete's involvement in community and school leadership.
He was active in student government and served as the youth coordinator for Lily Missions Center, as well as worked on several community canned food drives and other service projects through Jackson High School.
Police allege Hines pulled away while being arrested, tried to flee and fought on the ground, causing cut to an officer's legs and hands.

Thread: Memory Issue

Memory Issue
I just ordered a dedicated server with 512MB memory, running Linux. I find that the memory usage reported in Plesk panel is over 95% percent.
Do I have to worry about if the memory is enough or not? I suppose there is a virtual memory and the OS should do the swap. But is this common to a typical web server?
I do not have anything extra running on the sever. Just the basic services such as DNS and SMTP.
Incidently, I have a problem with SMTP service. It will keep run for a couple of hours and then it may crash on its own. Does any one know what would cause this problem?

I would try to keep as much out of swap as I could.
512MB of RAM in today's time for a server is on the very low side. I would consider going to atleast 1Gb of memory.
SMTP issue is probably related to a memory problem. Check your logs and see.Jason Biel

It happens every year at this time.
I grow desperately weary of four-hour baseball games and commercial-driven basketball games that last deep into the night/early morning. All I know of hockey is that the Rangers and Devils have been eliminated.
So I flip the channels until I find the NCAA Softball Tournament -- and then I can't let go.
The games are fast-paced (usually under two hours) and feature talented Division I athletes. Best of all, the young women display extraordinary team spirit. Imagine this: Individuals who put team goals above individual interests!
For the record, the 2007 NCAA Softball Championships start Thursday at Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City. Participants include Arizona, Northwestern, Arizona State, Texas A&M, Washington, DePaul, Tennessee and Baylor.
Can't stand to sit through another pitching change? Seen one too many 20-second timeouts after midnight?
Watch some NCAA softball.

"In an about-face, Orleans Parish Sheriff Marlin Gusman's office said Tuesday it was welcoming back to work a deputy whose fears of retaliation for being a jailhouse whistleblower were made public in a NOLA.com | Times-Picayune report," wrote crime reporter Naomi Martin in a story published Tuesday.
Eric Hessler, Deputy Bryan Collins' attorney, said that Collins is considering his options.
"He loves his job but does not feel comfortable returning to a place where he was seen as a 'rat,'" Hessler told Martin in an interview.
Many readers urge Collins to tread cautiously, echoing the deputy's concerns about retaliation:
I used to support and even defend Sheriff Gusman. Afterall, former Sheriff Charles Foti reign over horrid conditions in that jail WITHOUT the media nor local politicians holding him accountable. But after reading Mr. Collins' story, I can no longer defend Sheriff Gusman with a clear conscience.
I am conflicted about Mr Collins returning there. Part of me says, "Absolutely..yes you should go back. Those people without a voice need you there." The other part of me says, "Setup! They'll be looking for any and every little thing they can to terminate you." Mr. Collins, if you do choose to go back, please be careful. Dot all of your 'I's' and cross all of your 'T's'.
Collins, don't ever go back there. They will probably have you harmed....i don't trust it one bit and you seem to be on the right page with your lawyer. I wish you the best and hope you can be a part of this change in the Prison and not just shed light on the matter.
I just set up this account here on NOLA.com to reply to your coming out about these issues in OPP. And I hope others who witnessed these crimes inside to also comment about this and speak up. Its the only way change will come about! I'm planning on doing so, but with a lawyer and complete anonymity.
What are your thoughts on the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office's sudden "about face," as Martin calls it, and Deputy Collins' potential return to work?

Girls wrestling: Ditlefsen takes eighth in girls state bid
For wrestler Kaylee Ditlefsen, two points made the difference between an eighth place and a chance at third.
Ditlefsen and Sophia Cornell competed at the Mat Classic Washington State girls wrestling tournament on Feb. 21-22 in the Tacoma Dome.
Ditlefsen, a junior, placed eighth in the 130-pound weight bracket while Cornell went 0-2 at 106 pounds.
In a crucial match toward third place, Ditlefsen faced off with Haven Camden of Washougal before losing 7-5.
Sequim assistant coach Bill Schroepfer said the 7-5 finish was questionable because it was tied 5-5 with less than 30 seconds to go.
"Refs see things different than everybody," he said about a two-point call. "Kaylee thought it was going into overtime when she looked at the scoreboard. That was a heartbreaker. She could have gone as far as to compete for third from that match because (Camden) went on to face (Chloe Spencer of Euphrata) who injury defaulted her next two matches."
To open the state tourney, Spencer pinned Ditlefsen in the last second of the third round.
"(Spencer) was just tough. She was the number three seed out of Eastern Washington and (their) number four seed beat our number one seed," Schroepfer said. "Eastern Washington has some really good wrestlers."
Ditlefsen made some strides in the consolation bracket though, pinning Natasha Williams of Skyview in 3:58 and defeating Kendra Dickson of Tumwater 5-2.
After losing to Camden, Ditlefsen lost 10-0 to Jennifer Mendoza of Warden for the eighth place medal.
"(Mendoza) was physically stronger and I told Kaylee to go out and have fun," Schroepfer said. "I think she tried more new things in that match than any other before. She knew she had to adjust and lost but her goal was to place and she came off the mat with lots of smiles."
Schroepfer said next year Ditlefsen will set her goals even higher.
"I think we'll see her higher on the medal stand next year," he said.
Ditlefsen went to state two years ago and went 0-2.
Cornell, also a junior, saw her toughest competition of the year two in her state matches.
She lost by pin in the first round to Jessica Eakins of Washougal in 4:40 and in the consolation to Vanessa Morales of Warden in 2:33.
"Sophia thought she'd have at least one win there but I got to see some emotion out of her I haven't seen before," Schroepfer said.
"That tells me she really wanted to be there."
