Bird's Nest Fungi, Exploding Eggs, and Mushroom Soup
Yay! Today I documented the first bird's nest fungus, Cyathus sp., in the North Campus. For months, I have been looking forward to finding these fascinating, weird, and wonderful fungi. When North Campus Director Carol Bornstein told me she had found some, I immediately knew I had to blog about them.
Bird's Nest Fungi with my finger for scale.
As you can see, this fungus looks like a miniature bird's nest with oddly flattened eggs in it. Mycologists refer to them fondly as BNFs, bird's nest fungi. The "eggs" (periodoles to be geeky and precise) are actually packages containing thousands and thousands of spores. When a raindrop, or some other drop of water, hits the periodole it causes a miniature explosion. The spores are released and propelled out of the cup (some spores can be projected over six feet in this manner),...

Enterprise connect is drawing to a close, and what a great event it was for Vidyo! We made two significant announcements: VidyoReplay's recording and webcast features enable users to archive and share their video conferencing content with whomever they like, whenever they want, from any endpoint. VidyoRouter Cloud Edition delivers the most affordable scalability for telecom carriers and large organizations to deploy Personal Telepresence as a cloud service. VidyoRouter Cloud Edition is the answer to the demands placed on infrastructure as mobile endpoints and the need for video conferencing and cost increase providing up to 90% savings over other solutions while supporting thousands of concurrently connected endpoints.
Vidyo was honored that VidyoRouter Cloud Edition was selected as a 2011 finalist for the Enterprise Connect award and twice as excited that HP's Visual Collaboration Executive Desktop HP TouchSmart 600 Quad was also a finalist. Vidyo's CMO Ashish Gupta is pictured here with HP's Tom Carhart, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for Visual Collaboration.
Vidyo and HP announced a partnership in June 2010 under which HP would expand its Visual Collaboration offering using Vidyo's complete VidyoConferencing line of software-based desktop and room system-based solutions running on HP servers. Additionally, Vidyo's CEO, Ofer Shapiro, joined John Bartlett of NetForecast, Ira Weinstein of Wainhouse Research and Cisco, Polycom, Microsoft and Radvision for a panel discussion about video conferencing interoperability, video protocols, and standards. Last year Ofer Shapiro participated in the same panel when SVC (Scalable Video Codec) was at the core of an industry debate. At that time, H.264 SVC-based technology was relatively new to the market and its impact was still being questioned. What a difference a year makes! The scale has tipped as many companies followed Vidyo's early lead by announcing support for SVC. The majority of the panel acknowledged that they are moving to next generation architectures and disruption is occurring in the market today. They also agreed that gateway -based solutions will continue to enable interoperability in the near term. One notable comment came from Microsoft's Warren Barkley, Director of Partner Engineering, who acknowledged the impact of next generation architectures and even referred to Vidyo as a company leading innovation.
Another interesting session featured customers sharing their experiences and views about the challenges and success of deploying video conferencing. The session was moderated by John Bartlett who was joined by Andrew Davis, from Wainhouse Research and panelists Rob Goodwin of ESPN, Case Murphy of AOL, Russ Cary of SAS, and Charles Kazilek of Arizona State University. A key issue raised was the network overhaul required by many video conferencing solutions. Several panelists voiced their frustration with hidden network challenges. Case Murphy of AOL shared that he was lucky – his network could handle video despite the new requirements with no issues. ESPN and SAS clearly had to rethink and rebuild their network with the solutions they selected. When asked about networking challenges, Arizona State University's Charles Kazilek paused, smiled, and said "I'd like to say I feel your pain but… I don't feel your pain since I use Vidyo!" With Vidyo's technology, ASU didn't have to make changes to his network: A video conferencing decision shouldn't require a network overhaul. Nuff said!
The following interview says it all! Techweb TV's David Berlind interviewed Vidyo's Director of Product Marketing, Mark Noble. Check out why David is so excited about Vidyo:

Equities star leaves UBS
The global head of cash equities at UBS is to leave after nearly 18 years at the Swiss bank, Financial News has learned.
Phil Allison, who first joined UBS as a graduate trainee in 1997 and was head of its equities business for Europe, the Middle East and Africa along with a global cash role, has left the bank with immediate effect, according to an internal memo sent out today by Mike Stewart, UBS's global head of equities.
On an interim basis, Jason Barron, global head of financing services, will take on Allison's responsibilities as head of Emea equities, while Dominic Vail, global head of equity distribution, will assume the role of global head of cash equities, the memo said.
A UBS spokeswoman confirmed the contents of the memo.
Allison joined UBS after graduating from Cambridge University. After holding roles in algorithmic trading and market making, he was named as head of global cash equities in 2010 and head of equities for Emea in 2012. He has been named on both Financial News's Rising Stars and FN100 lists and leaves UBS at a time of its growth in its European equities business.
In an annual survey of almost 200 institutional investors by capital markets consultancy Greenwich Associates last October, UBS was ranked first in European equity trading in 2013 with a 10.5% market share, maintaining its number one position from 2012
The bank also ranked first in a new category of European equity algorithmic trading, which measured the top 10 algorithmic or smart order routing providers by commission. The Swiss bank was used by 65% of those questioned, ahead of Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley.
According to figures released by data provider Markit in January, UBS was the third-most active broker of European equities on behalf of clients last year, with a turnover of €949.1 billion. It lagged Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
In the memo, Stewart said: "He played leading roles in algorithmic trading, automated market-making and statistical model development before becoming head of global cash equities in 2010 and head of Emea equities in 2012. Please join me in thanking Phil for his many contributions and wishing him and his family well."
Allison could not be reached for comment.

Georgia 12: Rep. John Barrow (D) vs. Lee Anderson (R)
Democratic incumbent John Barrow is fighting for his political life in this heavily Republican district, which is far better than Republicans had expected would be the case at this point when they drew the district's boundaries. According to an analysis by the Cook Political Report, President Barack Obama's 2008 vote in Barrow's new district is 44%, compared with 55% under the old lines. Despite the unfavorable political landscape, Barrow has made the race competitive. He has far outpaced his Republican opponent, state Rep. Lee Anderson, in fundraising. He also has been in general election mode from the start compared with Anderson, who emerged weakened from a competitive primary.
Illinois 2: Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D) vs. Brian Woodworth (R)
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s biggest obstacle to a ninth full term in Congress might be himself. Jackson has been on medical leave since June for an undisclosed ailment, which his office later described as a "mood disorder."
In August, Rep. Patrick Kennedy told CNN that his longtime friend and colleague was suffering from "serious depression -- deep, deep depression."
In mid-October, CNN confirmed that Jackson was the subject of a federal investigation over possible financial improprieties. In late October, Jackson released a campaign robocall to constituents saying he was undergoing treatment for "several serious health issues" and asked for "your continued patience as I work to get my health back."
Republican opponent Brian Woodworth, an attorney and university professor, has criticized him for leaving the district unrepresented. Despite his absence, Jackson is expected to win.
Illinois 8: Rep. Joe Walsh (R) vs. Tammy Duckworth (D)
Freshman Republican Joe Walsh is high on the list of most-endangered GOP incumbents. Walsh barely won his seat in 2010 and redistricting has made it more Democratic. He has the additional misfortune of running in a presidential election year when favorite son Barack Obama is heading the ticket for the other party. Walsh has made headlines with a number of controversial statements, including his assertion that medical science has advanced to the point where abortions are never necessary to save a woman's life. Democrat Tammy Duckworth, a decorated Iraq war veteran, led in fundraising and entered the final stretch with an advantage.
Illinois 10: Rep. Robert Dold (R) vs. Brad Schneider (D)
Republican Robert Dold won this Democrat-friendly district in the Republican wave of 2010, replacing fellow Republican Mark Kirk, who ran for the U.S. Senate. The redrawn district is more Democratic-friendly, but Dold has kept the race competitive. His Democratic opponent is businessman Brad Schneider, who emerged battered from a competitive primary. Dold entered the final month of the campaign with a huge cash advantage but Schneider has benefited from sizable TV ad buys from the national Democratic Party and from a pro-Democratic super PAC, but he was trailing the overall TV ad dollars invested by Dold, the national Republican Party and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Iowa 3: Rep. Tom Latham (R) vs. Rep. Leonard Boswell (D)
Merged district
Iowa was one of 10 states to lose seats in Congress because of redistricting, setting up a member-on-member showdown between two veteran lawmakers in a merged Des Moines-area district. Democrat Leonard Boswell represented much of this new district in the late 1990s. Republican Tom Latham has a fundraising advantage due in part to his friendship with Boehner. The cash advantage is apparent on the airwaves, where Latham has outspent Boswell, even when counting the considerable assistance the Democrat received from his national party. Boswell is no stranger to tight races. He survived the Republican wave of 2010. The presidential race will boost Democratic turnout, but his new district has many more "red" counties than the one he represented for 10 years. The race will be competitive.
Iowa 4: Rep. Steve King (R) vs. Christie Vilsack (D)
Republican incumbent Steve King's bid for a sixth term in Congress has been his toughest. King won re-election in his old western Iowa district with 66% of the vote in 2010, and he never dipped below 59% in any of his previous races. This year, he faces a new district and a tough new challenger in Democrat Christie Vilsack, Iowa's former first lady and the wife of U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. The good news for King is that his enormous new district in the northwest part of the state comprises mostly counties won in 2008 by John McCain. King has had a fundraising advantage over Vilsack. But Vilsack is the strongest candidate Democrats could have fielded. She has been competitive financially. The political makeup of the district is still a reach for a Democrat.
Louisiana 3: Rep. Charles Boustany (R) vs. Rep. Jeff Landry (R)
Merged district
As in California, redistricting and a "top-two" primary system have forced two incumbent lawmakers of the same party into a November showdown. Republican Charles Boustany, a surgeon elected in 2004, faces freshman Republican Jeff Landry, an attorney and businessman, former police officer and tea party favorite. Boustany represents more of the new district than does Landry, but the freshman proved he is capable of pulling off surprises when he defeated the better-known former Louisiana House speaker in the 2010 primary. Under state law, the November election will serve as an open primary, in which the top two finishers will advance to a December runoff if no one gets a majority.
Maryland 6: Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R) vs. John Delaney (D)
Republican Roscoe Bartlett's bid for an 11th term appears to be his last. The long-time western Maryland representative was a target for Democrats who redrew the district last year. As a result, his once-safe seat now stretches from the state's westernmost point to include a piece of heavily Democratic Montgomery County and now reaches almost to the District of Columbia border. His Democratic opponent is John Delaney, a wealthy businessman. Delaney pulled off an upset in the Democratic primary over Rob Garagiola, a state senator with a string of endorsements from party establishment types, including Gov. Martin O'Malley. Bartlett has little hope of pulling off a miracle.
Massachusetts 4: Joe Kennedy III (D) vs. Sean Bielat (R)
Open Democratic-held seat
When Democratic Rep. Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island left office in January 2011, it ended his family's 64-year streak of service in Congress that began with the swearing-in of freshman congressman John F. Kennedy. In 2012, Democratic congressional candidate Joe Kennedy III, grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, hopes to begin a new streak by replacing retiring Rep. Barney Frank in the 4th Congressional District. Kennedy, a former prosecutor and Peace Corps member, is heavily favored to win; no member of his family has ever lost a race in Massachusetts. His opponent is Republican Sean Bielat, a businessman and Marine Corps reservist.
Massachusetts 6: Rep. John Tierney (D) vs. Richard Tisei (R)

love the pic lol
The greatest game I ever seen in my life. **** the Patriots, as a Jets fan I'm happy. Damn, I just wish the same thing can happened for the Jets and Knicks. As for the Yankees, I can't complain since I became a fan around 95. I busted a nut when the Giants rookie DT sacked the **** out of Brady, even after getting it in wifey.
love the pic lol
Greatest superbowl play/comeback ever.
Eli Manning is the Man no homo. Earlier this season I thought of him as being a good quarterback but soft and someone who will never be great. I was wrong, Eli was the MVP of the greatest football game I have ever seen. Im gonna watch football more often next year.
100% agree agree agree AGREE!! eli went through football puberty before our very eyes.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
Best Game EVER! im officially a giants fan
man, this is the single greatest victory in my lifetime by any of my teams.
God Bless the NY Giants, defenders on the tri-state area sports scene.
someone had to win something, lucky for me it was them.
im a fan of everythin New York except the giants, but im happy 4 them and their fans. coughlin proves hes a good coach, strahan gets the ring a hall of famer like him deserves, and eli manning proves that he deserves respect. the giants won against all odds and they deserve praise. and i hate the patriots who are cheaters. sources say they could have cheated in that 2002 super bowl when they beat the rams(i lost 350 dollars cuz of that game) so nice game g-men. im just sad that my falcons are as bad as the knicks, and it looks like they wont get any better soon (man if mike vick wasnt a homo this would have neva happened) lol

- Title
- Can our schools deliver an education in technology?
- Author(s)
- Seemann, Kurt W.
- Abstract
- The casual observer can be forgiven for concluding that today, more than ever before, most Australian High Schools have a significant commitment, driven essentially by interpretations of State policies, to teach and learn more task specific job skills at school particularly in technical areas. Not only do we witness media releases of the imperative of computers in schooling but most recently, the high profile campaign to shift a significant proportion of school students into technically grouped Trade/Vocational streams (specific job category skills training). Indeed, policies and programs such as 'ready for work' target middle school students themselves. These strategies, essentially similar to Educational Sloyd, (Anon, 1910) and those practiced in the mid 1900s (Gibson and Barlow, 2000), are occasionally highlighted as innovative. However, at least two specific issues may be explored in response to the above scenario. Firstly, the issue of what constitutes an education in technology? Secondly, if as we are to believe, job security is a thing of the past, manufacturing labour markets are shifting out of Australia and ideas/academic economies are poised to replace traditional vocations (mostly yet to be invented), what ought constitute an education that readies adolescents for employment? If our schools interpret technology in the curriculum as essentially and superficially the two extremes of VET skills application or 'hightech' information technology user skills, and little more, could our State School systems be selling a lolly to our youth: popular and tastes good in the short term, but is it good for their wellbeing in the longer term? Have our schools beguiled our youth to a future that at best serves a very narrow labour market to the many and a level of technology understanding that lacks sufficient depth to confidently make informed decisions in life that has carriage through a range of career changes and lifestyle and employment circumstances? If in addition we consider the policy push to reduce technology teacher degrees to the same VET specific level of technology skills instruction (a model the profession fought hard to be rid of 30 years ago), what depth of understanding and capacity for global awareness can students in schools expect from their new technology teacher graduates?

ONU adopts Engineering Projects In Community Service program for assisting local communities
The Ohio Northern University College of Engineering's real-life class, Engineering Projects In Community Service (EPICS), is working on three major projects throughout the area: building a replica of the Mars rover Curiosity for the Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta, Ohio; refurbishing a concrete base for historical Civil War cannons in Forest, Ohio; and upgrading the village of Ada's website.
Modeled after a similar program started by Purdue University in 1995, the ONU EPICS program, which was formed this academic school year, represents a unique opportunity for teams of undergraduate students to design, build and deploy real systems to solve engineering-based problems for local community service and education organizations. ONU's College of Engineering is one of only 21 universities from around the world to become a member of the EPICS University consortium.
EPICS projects allow students to gain valuable design-build experiences and to develop leadership and project management skills. Students also gain an awareness of professional ethics, the role of the customer in the engineering design process, and the role that engineering can play in the community. In turn, community organizations gain access to technical expertise that would normally be prohibitively expensive, giving them the potential to improve their quality of service or provide new services.
"We approached Ohio Northern University because of Dean Eric Baumgartner's previous experience with NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory," said Christopher Burton, executive director of the Armstrong Air and Space Museum. "When I heard about the EPICS program, I immediately began to think of the engineering projects that might benefit the museum. The rover model should be completed by the end of the school year. Once delivered to the museum, it will be exhibited in the Modern Space Gallery when not in use. The rover also will make frequent appearances at community festivals and area high schools."
Under the supervision of Baumgartner, the rover team consists of Rebekah G. Douglass, a freshman mechanical engineering major from Ashland, Ohio; Alec J. Flemming, a freshman mechanical engineering major from Powell, Ohio; Tyler O. Germann, a freshman electrical engineering major from New Haven, Ind.; Courtney J. Horstman, a freshman accounting major from Delphos, Ohio; Kurt T. Meyer, a sophomore mechanical engineering major from Columbus Grove, Ohio; Kathryn J. Skobrak, a junior mechanical engineering major from New Albany, Ohio; Elizabeth M. Spingola, a junior engineering education major from Butler, Pa.; and Andrew S. Woodruff, a freshman mechanical engineering major from Dayton, Ohio.
Tom Zechman, assistant dean for academic and student affairsin engineering and assistant professor of civil engineering,is overseeing the group that is refurbishing the cannon bases in Forest. Two Civil War-era Rodman Cannons were brought to Forest by train in 1906 and delivered to Gormley Park by horse and wagon. The current concrete bases, built in 1906, have become worn over the past 106 years. The structural integrity of the bases is unknown; the village of Forest Parks and Recreation requested new base structures for aesthetic appeal and for the safety of the cannons and the visitors to the park. The projected completion date of this project is April 25, 2013.
The Forest project team is made up of George Hess, a sophomore civil engineering from Newbury, Ohio; Alex Altman, a sophomore civil engineering major from Napoleon, Ohio; Katie Bowman, a junior civil engineering major from Richfield, Ohio; Gabi Patarini, a senior civil engineering major from Elyria, Ohio; David Bruckelmeyer, a junior civil engineering major from Millersport, Ohio; Paul Gearhart, a sophomore civil engineering major from Waynesville, Ohio; Stephen Berner, a junior civil engineering major from Beloit, Ohio; Nate Ogden, a sophomore civil engineering major from Grosse Pointe, Mich.; Alex Frey, a junior mechanical engineering major from Upper Sandusky, Ohio; Sarah Massella, a senior civil engineering major from Bridgeville, Pa.; and Allyson Greenbaum, a junior mechanical engineering major from Bellefontaine, Ohio.
Dave Retterer, mayor of Ada and ONU associate professor of mathematics and computer science, is overseeing the website project for the village of Ada. This group is working on the website's user interface design as well as designing the structure of the village's website. Retterer expects the project to last for several semesters.
This team is comprised of computer science majors Victoria Kerr, a sophomore from Easton, Pa.; Tyler Jensen, a sophomore from Toledo, Ohio; Alex Pettit, a junior from Heath, Ohio; Noah Orr, a sophomore from Centerburg, Ohio; and Andrew Newman, a sophomore from London, Ohio.

I gave birth via c-section (my first) to baby #9 on 11/10/05. She weighed 8lbs 11oz. She was at the breast within the hour after delivery. We stayed in hospital for 3 days, and nursing seemed to be going well. Less problems this time than ever before. No sore nipples, no engorgement, etc. She was however somewhat of a "lazy" nurser, falling asleep at the breast. A lactation consultant visited with me a couple of times and said latch looked good, etc.
So here's my concern...
dd weighed 7'15" at release from hospital on 11/13.
At two week check (really 18 days), she weighed 8'4". Ped said to keep eye on her output, which was good. Lots of poops.
I have taken her in weekly for weight checks since then. While she has never lost weight, her gain has been slow. At her two month check she was 9'13". I took her in 6 days later and she was diagnosed with an ear infection, she weighed 10'2" then.
Does this seem okay? Ped does not seem too concerned, as she is steadily gaining and she looks good. Dh and I are not small people. All of my other children were much bigger by two months, even the girls.
Should I be worried?

In David Copperfield, Dickens' description of Miss Mowcher is that of an achondroplastic dwarf.
In achondroplasia, the epiphyses, near the ends of the long bones, cannot produce their normal elongation. So the victim has a relatively normal head and torso, with very short arms and legs. Mental development is not impaired.
Here is a URL about the condition:

Here is the description of Miss Mowcher:
'Miss Mowcher!'
I looked at the doorway and saw nothing. I was still looking at the doorway, thinking that Miss Mowcher was a long while making her appearance, when, to my infinite astonishment, there came waddling round a sofa which stood between me and it, a pursy dwarf, of about forty or forty-five, with a very large head and face, a pair of roguish grey eyes, and such extremely little arms, that, to enable herself to lay a finger archly against her snub nose, as she ogled Steerforth, she was obliged to meet the finger half-way, and lay her nose against it. Her chin, which was what is called a double chin, was so fat that it entirely swallowed up the strings of her bonnet, bow and all. Throat she had none; waist she had none; legs she had none, worth mentioning; for though she was more than full-sized down to where her waist would have been, if she had had any, and though she terminated, as human beings generally do, in a pair of feet, she was so short that she stood at a common-sized chair as at a table, resting a bag she carried on the seat. This lady - dressed in an off-hand, easy style; bringing her nose and her forefinger together, with the difficulty I have described; standing with her head necessarily on one side, and, with one of her sharp eyes shut up, making an uncommonly knowing face - after ogling Steerforth for a few moments, broke into a torrent of words.

text: Bowman, in an obvious busy year for card production, came up with this pioneering issue, resulting in thankfully some of the only known cards for many of the game's early legends. The undisputed king of this issue (and likely of all basketball) is the original big man George Mikan from the tough high number series. Other big-time cards from this issue include Red Holzman, Joe Fulks, Jim Pollard, and the last card #72 (Carl Braun).

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 13 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by BobbyB A winner, for sure! I had previously ordered Euros quite a few years ago, so it was time to replace those socks. These new socks are a big improvement over my original order. I couldn't say enough positive things to share my happiness with these socks. I am 6 feet tall, weigh 202 pounds, and have a good size caft from being a runner in my youth, and these socks fit perfectly. June 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by quitmanina excellent for the diabetic foot my husband feet are much better since he is wearing this socks. thank you for caring for people with diabetes August 28, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by TheBigGuy good for travel anyone needing compression stockings can benefit from these January 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by JoHH worth the price These compression socks are the best I have ever worn. They are well-made, no irritating seams around the toes and made my legs feel exceptionally energetic for a long day on my feet. February 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stacey Great product My husband has been looking for these for a while. He is diabetic and they have helped his legs a great deal. We have ordered 3 pairs now. October 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Redfamily6 Recommend These are nice socks, good support and comfortable. My husbands feet and legs tend to swell, pending his activity (especially flying) and these are helpful. He got the black sock but doesn't like the white footed part. He says as long as his shoes cover it up, they're okay for casual wear but not suitable as a dress sock. January 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Goober Good for edema Purchased size Large for father. 6'7" 280#. The socks are hard to get on over his swollen feet, but he needs the compression. Noticed a reduction in swelling after second day. Nurse states 24 hours on, 24 hours off. I have bought cheaper pairs that stretched out and never worked as well. Highly recommend July 8, 2016

A blog about my journey with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome including HHV 6, EBV, C. Pneumonia, Bartonella, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and Biotoxin Illness
Tuesday, October 27, 2009
XMRV Study Starting
I don't mind the info being reposted on blogs. Everyone has been wonderful about asking and I feel like we all help each other out with things but please ask if you are wanting to post on a message board.
I received a phone call from my doctor's office today. They are starting a study to see what XMRV is doing in the body. It will begin next week so I'll be going up on Monday to get my blood drawn.
I've been worried about how I was going to get the money together to get tested. Now I don't have to worry because they are going to send the blood to WPI (or VIP dx labs which uses the same technology that WPI did in the original study). I will get tested for both active and latent XMRV and it will not cost me a thing! As I mentioned in a previous post both tests cost $650. The study will also involve filling out a questionnaire. It will take a couple months before the results are in but that's fine with me.
Apparently Dr. Mikovitz is very interested in the population that is served by my doctor's office. I'm feeling very grateful for my doctor and even more grateful for Dr. Mikovitz and even more grateful for Andrea Whittemore Goad and her family. If it weren't for them we would still be in the dark ages when it comes to this disease.
Changing subjects: I won't be continuing the Cipro. I took my third pill this morning and had terrible dizziness along with terrible anxiety and a few heart palpitations which doesn't help the anxiety any. I've been feeling horrible all day and just counting down the hours until this stuff leaves my system. I called my podiatrist who changed the prescription to Keflex. I hope the only reaction I have to Keflex is my toe getting better. It has already improved in that I'm having very little pain.
On a completely unrelated note I wanted to share a couple things that fellow ME/CFS'rs have created. One is a website designed by Toni . I always look up blogs that people who comment. I clicked on Toni's name, then clicked on her website fully expecting a blog. What I found instead was beautiful. There is what looks like a painting on the first page. It is stunning. I thought to myself "Wow! Where did she get that painting? I want one!" She painted it! If you want a treat I recommend visiting her website and reading everything on their. There are jewels everywhere. I found it quite moving.
Then there is Pris Campbell's book Sea Trails which can be found at this website It is a story of a life changing journey she took via a 22 foot boat down the east coast. See Pris's blog Song's To A Midnight Sky to read more and to read her moving poems (she is also an accomplished poet). I read a couple excerpts from her book and was so thrilled I purchased a copy for myself and a couple for gifts.
These are just two people who I find inspirational. They also give me hope because both are about as ill as I am and they both created beautiful things. I think I might start mentioning other people's creative blogs here as well.
There is so much pain and suffering in our ME/CFS community but also so much beauty, compassion, wisdom, and kindness.

Thanks so much for telling people about my website, Terri. Your comments made me feel so good! One reason that I haven't taken the time to learn the new program for updating it is that I was finishing work on a book about living well with chronic illness. I wrote it much the same way that Laura Hillenbrand described writing Seabiscuit -- lying on my bed with my laptop. A friend helped me find a publisher and any day now I should be starting the editing process. The title came first: How To Be Sick. It took me several years to complete because I could only write or edit on days when I wasn't too sick to concentrate. I was often so discouraged that I just wanted to give up on it, but I stuck it out and now I'm glad. I'm told it will be published in 12-15 months. It's written to help the chronically and their caregivers. I just want something good to come out of this unexpected turn in my life.
I'm so excited that you are able to get the testing for free and will be part of a study. I'm just going to pay out-of-pocket for the test and then ask my insurance to reimburse me (which I'm almost certain will not happen!).
Thanks again for telling people about my website and I sure hope that toe gets better soon.

Congratulations on the study! What great news - AND you don't have to pay for the testing.
I've been to Toni's site and it is wonderful, very inspirational and beautiful. I wondered myself if she painted the picture on the front.

I am thrilled to hear your news of being involved with this study. I am delighted they are starting further studies so soon and look forward to hearing more through your informative blog.
Although I have Lyme Disease and am nearly 100% now whilst on antibiotics I was originally like many other people I am in touch with diagnosed with ME/CFS.
There seem to be many parrallels with these illnesses and both coming from the same/similar infection pool and the immune problems plus other infections. Also NKT cells involvement.
So I am very interested to follow outcomes. I suspect and I know others have voiced comments that this might be the reason some Lyme sufferers are unable to throw off their infections.

First of all, thank you so much for mentioning my book and website. Toni, I hope you read this since I read this after my comment back to you and can't find a way to contact you to say how lovely your art is...and you're a fan of Issa, too!
Terri, how absolutely neat that you can get this testing for free and with a doctor who'll be in a position to know what to do with the information when it comes back, ie wait and see or go with any recommendations. I wonder what other doctors the center will be contacting.
Cipro, btw, is one of the few antibiotics I can take but it causes mood changes and a 'wired' feeling in me. The others inflame me, make me throw up, make me so dizzy I can't see straight, etc. Frustrating, isn't it!

Thanks so much for your excellent blog. I'm a CFS sufferer from the US and I'm in France for the year. Do you know whether I can be tested for XMRV here? Any idea how I go about it?

A Focus on the Figure: Introduction to Figure Drawing
Date: Friday, March 01, 2013
Time: 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Teacher: Michael Horowitz
Type: Drawing Class
Artist Michael Horowitz focuses on how to draw the figure in a series of Friday night classes (3/1, 3/15, 3/22 & 3/29). Using the Museum's collections as inspiration, participants explore the figure through gesture, basic construction, basic anatomy and self-expression by using a variety of styles to draw a live, clothed, figure model.
Introduction to Figure Drawing
Both Eastern and Western artists have been inspired by the figure, from the graceful Shiva, Lord of the Dance to the female nudes of Aristide Maillol. After looking at works of art in the galleries, participants analyze and learn the basics of figure drawing: silhouette, gesture, contour drawing and composition.
Meets in Entrance Gallery | All levels of experience are welcome. Each class is $20 ($16 for members), and space is limited to 18 participants. All materials and admission to the galleries on the day of class are included. | Online registration is required. For further information, contact the Education Department at (626) 844-6980.

The law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks priced under $100 from sales tax, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 spent during the weekend.
"Texas families can take advantage of the sales tax holiday when doing their back-to-school shopping," Texas Comptroller Susan Combs said. "The tax holiday applies to a variety of items ranging from pens to jeans to help shoppers around Texas save some of their hard earned money."
Lists of apparel and school supplies that may be purchased tax free can be found on the comptroller's website at www.TexasTaxHoliday.org.
The dates for the tax holiday weekend are established by the Legislature in the state tax code. The sales tax holiday has been an annual event since 1999

Wesleyan announces Bruhns Scholarship recipients
Three West Virginia Wesleyan students will be fulfilling their dreams of studying abroad, thanks to a generous gift from Wesleyan friend and alumna Dr. E. Maxine Moose Bruhns.
The E. Maxine Moose Bruhns Summer 2013 Study Abroad Scholarship will provide funding for three students to participate in international educational programs next summer.
The highly competitive scholarship winners are Rachel Channell, a sophomore theater and English writing major from Elkins; Andrew Wade Phipps, a junior English writing major from Buckhannon; and Briana Nicole Shockey, a sophomore psychology and political science major and gender studies minor from Belington.
Channell plans to travel to Kauvasi, Greece, for six weeks to work with the Archaeological Field School through Duke University. The team will be excavating at a site named the Azoria Project, an archaic city on the coast of Crete. Channell plans to make trips to neighboring towns and do sightseeing in her downtime, but not before learning a little Greek first. Channell hopes to travel to the neighboring towns of Ierapetra and Ayios Nikolaos and see as much as the beautiful island of Crete as possible.
"This opportunity is mind-blowing," Channell stated. "I get to work on an excavation, right next to the Mediterranean Sea, with top-of-the-line archaeologists. To top it all off, having experience with a field school will make me much more marketable."
Phipps intends to travel to Prague, the largest city in the Czech Republic, at Charles University through Western Michigan University. His four-week trip will find him part of a prestigious creative writing program. He will have the opportunity to meet and work with some of the best current writers from around the world, both students and instructors. Although he is unsure of all the activities in which he will be involved while in Prague, he plans to attend a film festival while there.
"I just want what all writers want – to get better," Phipps said. "It still has not hit me that I will actually be on another continent this summer. It is my first international travel experience, and I never thought I would be able to afford anything like this in college. I cannot thank Maxine Bruhns or the Bruhns' committee at Wesleyan enough for this opportunity."
Shockey hopes to travel to Cape Town University in South Africa through Arcadia University's Community Development Program for six weeks. During the program's orientation, Shockey will visit Bo-Kaap, the Malay Quarter, District Six, the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront; and hike Table Mountain. During breaks from the program, she will have the opportunity to take part in a variety of adventure sports located close to Cape Town, as well as have the opportunity to attend cultural events such as theater, music festivals and lectures by national leaders. In addition to the classroom learning, the Community Development Program Shockey will be working with has a service learning aspect. Students will gain hands-on experience such as tutoring local children in reading, math, science and information technology. Shockey hopes to expand her worldview in a way that she can impact change during her time in Cape Town, as well as enact local change once she returns. The program is structured to develop personal insights surrounding ideas of development, poverty and power, and to teach developmental theory and practice in the context of post-Apartheid South Africa.
"I am unbelievably blessed to have the opportunity to do a summer study abroad, especially in the rich culture of Cape Town," Shockey said. "I know this will truly be an opportunity of a lifetime, and I would not be able to do it if it were not for the Bruhns Scholarship."
Born in Grafton, Dr. Bruhns has devoted much of her life to the study and appreciation of and participation in other cultures. She has traveled the world, a champion of internationalism and global living. Her work has spanned the globe, from resettling refuges in isolated areas of different countries, helping others and fostering understanding and communication across cultures. Her travel and experiences have helped her to develop deep understanding and scholarly presentations about the different cultures of the world, which she delivers to students and scholars at The University of Pittsburgh's Nationality Rooms in the Cathedral of Learning. The exhibits she has built there honor the ethnic heritages of many cultures, nations and peoples. Now, she is giving Wesleyan students the opportunity to become global scholars, allowing them to learn and experience more of the world beyond our borders.

In TICA's magazine, the TICA Trend, we feature a new column called Ask the Vet. Dr. Melinda Fleming, DVM who is a Scientific Services Veterinarian with Royal Canin, answers questions from TICA members, breeders and exhibitors. Here's a question asked of Dr. Fleming:
My cat was just diagnosed with diabetes, what kind of diet should I give her?
Diabetes mellitus is a challenging disease for the animal, the owner, and the veterinarian. Since your cat was only recently diagnoses, most likely you and your vet are partnering through the process of regulating the diabetes with medication. Nutrition also plays a vital part in the management of this disease. I recommend that you discuss your cat's diet with your veterinarian. Our cat's age and overall physical condition must be considered when choosing her food. Cats with diabetes may have other health issues as well so only your vet can determine an appropriate diet.
Ask the Vet questions and answers will soon be available on TICA.org

Tri-County Memorial joins Gundersen Lutheran Health System
Tri-County Memorial Hospital is joining the Gundersen Lutheran Health System and will soon be known as Gundersen Tri-County Hospital and Clinics.
Gundersen Lutheran's clinics in Whitehall, Blair and Independence and Tri-County Memorial Hospital will be consolidated under the Gundersen Tri-County Hospital and clinics names.
The affiliation change will be official on January 1, 2013.
A spokesperson from the Gundersen Luthern Health System says during and after the transition, Tri-County will continue to accept the insurances they currently accept. After the transition, all patients' billing statements will come from Gundersen Tri-County Hospital and Clinics.
There are no plans to reduce overall employment as a result of the affiliation.
Tri-County is one of three regional hospitals affiliated with Gundersen Lutheran Health System. The others are St. Joesph's Health Services-Gundersen Lutheran in Hillsboro, Wisconsin, and Palmer Lutheran in West Union, Iowa.

text: I'm looking for some advice. My 9-month-old has become much more interested in solids than in nursing. He eats a ton of food, but has cut way back on his nursing. I'm at home with him four days per week and work the three others. I used to pump 6 oz. twice per day while at work, but am now only pumping about 4 ounces once in the afternoon. At home, he nurses about 10 minutes each breast in the morning and evening, but the other nursing times are very minimal, and he obviously isn't getting much at those times for my pumping session to be so minimal. Dr. says his growth curve is fine. So -- is he self-weaning? Is that okay? Is he getting enough nutrition with his solids (and I give him a liquid multivitamin)? I'm anxious to hear what anyone has to offer!

Registered: 03/29/00
Posts: 1
This morning on my drive to work I struggled to think of a one word antonym for the word "soon." I've exhausted all of the online antonym search sites to no avail. I know this has to be an easy one, but I'm stumped...

'Presently' and 'later' jumped to mind at first.
Checked thesaurus, found 'subsequently' and 'latterly'.
Hope these help.

My first thoughts were: presently or without delay

Antonym for "soon" would be "later"...as in "I'll do it soon, but you can do it later."

I suppose that 'never' could be consider an antonym, although, in practice, it is often a synonym.

Re-read your question, and now I'm thinking my initial
reponse was off the mark. In mathematical terms, were you thinking of 'soon' being like a positive number, and 'now' being zero, and therefore the antonym you're searching for would correspond to a negative number?
If so, what about "recently"? Jackie

If you treat "soon" as an adverb (as in "It will happen soon"), the closest I can come to an antonym would be something like "eventually", "sometime", "someday", or even "never".

Why should every word have an antonym, especially a vague one like "soon", which evokes a vast stretch of desert? You could just as well ask for the opposite of "perhaps" - (oh no, it's not "certainly"). Some words seem to be used frequently just because they have no straightforward opposite. This makes contradiction more difficult. What do you think of that?

Loc: this too shall pass
Have I got the deal for you! here's an intensifier for the all too vague 'soon', and it's an acronym to boot:
RSN [Real Soon Now] 1. Supposed to be available (or fixed, or cheap, or whatever) real soon now according to somebody, but the speaker is quite skeptical.
2. When one's gods, fates, or other time commitments permit one to get to it (in other words, don't hold your breath).

Thank you, tsuwm,
Yet my bill is pretty well filled with "ASAP", which occurs in every other mail on our company intranet..
I meant that the vagueness is actually an asset of "soon". In the meantime it occurred to me that such words could be called "half-way words", and that they typically have TWO antonyms, like "never" and "presently" in this case.

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases you are eagerly anticipating.
Title: My Life Next Door
Author: Huntley Fitzpatrick
Publisher: Dial Books for Young Readers
Release Date: June 14, 2012
From Goodreads:
"One thing my mother never knew, and would disapprove of most of all, was that I watched the Garretts. All the time."
The Garretts are everything the Reeds are not. Loud, numerous, messy. And every day from her balcony perch, seventeen year old Samantha wishes she was one of them… until the day Jase Garrett climbs her terrace and changes everything.
Jase can sense that his beautiful neighbor is missing something in her sterile home, and as the two fall fiercely in love, his family makes her one of their own.
But when the bottom drops out of Sam's world, which perfect family will save her–and will her perfect love survive?
Set among the haves and have-nots of a coastal New England town, My LIFE NEXT DOOR captures the angst, the heartache, and the raw-nerve emotions of first time love—and biting loss.

Happy Winter?
January 5, 2012 —
Count me among the odd for (at least) two reasons. First, I like winter. I like the cold and the snow and the way the trees sparkle with ice like stars in the night sky. I like the briskness and the brilliance of it.
Second, I like reading books that would send shivers down other people's spines. Not horror stories, but nonfiction that delineates with excruciating details all the ways in which our planet is doomed. Books so upsetting that I can sometimes read only a few pages of agonizing truths before I have to run for cover in more pleasant pursuits like poetry or a walk in the woods.
People often ask me why I torture myself, and honestly, I don't think of it as torture. I want to know what life on our planet is facing. The challenge is assimilating what I know about the world while maintaining a positive attitude about my place in it.
I used to wake up every morning with a sense of dread. I used to walk on the Tusten Mountain trail, or paddle down the river, or walk in the game lands, my favorite place on earth, and all I could see were gas wells and polluted air and water. "It's so beautiful," I'd think and, immediately filled with sadness and panic, I'd add, "They're going to ruin it. Like they've ruined the rest of the world."
It took me a few years to figure out that while I was fabricating a future reality, I was missing the present moment. Being overwhelmed with negativity didn't help me or the world. Even though it seems as if we have very little power in either the political or corporate arena, and our collective problems appear to be insurmountable, I now listen to an inner command to do what I can do without any attachment to the outcome of my actions.
Hence, my decisions to make the changes I wrote about in my last column. Recycling, reusing, being a vegetarian and replacing fluorescents with CFLs may not alter the devastation of the planet or stop global warming, but I have to do these things. Whatever the result of my choices, my actions are consistent with living what I consider a moral life.
Now I wake up with gratitude for life and for the opportunity to savor what's left of the world. The title of Terry Tempest Williams' book, "Finding Beauty in a Broken World," is a practice. The other day as I walked down my road, an eagle flew overhead and bluebirds flitted through the trees, filling me with a sense of wonder and appreciation.

Isabelle seeks write-in voteApril 17,2014
With the recent resignation on the Barre Town Select Board, there is a one-year term to be filled in the May 13 town meeting via write-in vote. I am pleased to announce I intend to seek the seat and hope that Barre Town voters will write my name in.
I am a lifelong Barre Town resident and Spaulding High School, St. Michael's College and Vermont Law School graduate. I am proud to continue to call Barre Town home. I have served on the Recreation Board, as justice of the peace, and most recently served on the Budget Committee. We are fortunate in Barre Town to have some of the lowest tax rates in the county, but we also offer some of the best schools and municipal services as well. It is not easy to maintain this balance, and I hope to be a part of that discussion as a member of the Select Board.
Our community has a bright future. We will soon see an expansion of the bike path and more activities and interest in the newly created town forest. The businesses in Wilson Industrial Park offer the community good jobs and we will continue to see the park thrive. As we progress, Barre Town will remain a destination for families to live and business to grow.
I hope Barre Town voters will write-in my name on May 13 for the one year Select Board term. I look forward to working with you.
JP Isabelle

'Graduation' refers to the formal conferral of awards either at a ceremony or in absentia. Students who have completed all the requirements of their award course are eligible to graduate.
Students do not need to apply to graduate.¿¿ Each semester, the Business School will contact all students who appear to be about to complete their studies to request confirmation of degree and major/specialisation details. The School will also contact any student who will complete enough credit points for their award course but who may not be eligible to graduate for any reason (not completed all compulsory units or not completed a required major or specialisation, for example).
Students who plan to upgrade or transfer course instead of graduating, or who wish to downgrade course to graduate early (for example, from a combined degree to a single degree or a Masters to a Graduate Diploma or Graduate Certificate) should apply online on Sydney Student for a course transfer before the end of their final semester of study.
Students who successfully complete their award course will be able to access a letter of completion in Sydney Student soon after the release of final results.
See the Graduations Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page for more information.

Dennis Roch, R-Texico, has announced he is running for re-election in District 67 of the state House of Representatives.
The district includes all or parts of Curry, Roosevelt, Quay, Harding Union, San Miguel and Colfax counties.
Roch, 38, is the only candidate who has announced candidacy for the position.
He is assistant superintendent at Texico Schools. He has held the position since 2008, when he won election following the retirement of Brian K. Moore.
"I absolutely feel like there's work left to be accomplished," Roch said. "Education reform is still a little too close to the status quo, and we can do better for our kids."
Roch also noted work needs to be done on the tax code, particularly with businesses that could either locate in New Mexico or Texas.

The list includes companies that make cosmetics, personal-care products, household-cleaning products, and other common household products. In the U.S., no law requires that these types of products be tested on animals, and companies can choose not to sell their products in countries such as China, where tests on animals are required for cosmetics and other products. Companies on this list should be supported for their commitment to manufacturing products without harming any animals. Companies that aren't on this list should be boycotted until they implement a policy that prohibits animal testing.
The list does not include companies that manufacture only products that are required by law to be tested on animals (e.g., pharmaceuticals and garden chemicals). Although PETA is opposed to all animal testing, our quarrel in those instances is less with the individual companies and more with the regulatory agencies that require animal testing. Nonetheless, it is important to let companies know that it is their responsibility to convince the regulatory agencies that there are better ways to determine product safety.
All companies that are included on PETA's cruelty-free list have signed PETA's statement of assurance or submitted a statement verifying that neither they nor their ingredient suppliers conduct, commission, or pay for any tests on animals for ingredients, formulations, or finished products.
Company representatives interested in having their company's name added to our cruelty-free list(s) must complete a short questionnaire and sign a statement of assurance verifying that they do not conduct, commission, or pay for any tests on animals for ingredients, formulations, or finished products and that they pledge not to do so in the future. PETA will then add qualifying companies to our pocket-sized Cruelty-Free Shopping Guide, our Shopping Guide brochure, and our online searchable database of cruelty-free companies.
Once certified as cruelty-free, companies also have the opportunity to share their cruelty-free commitment with consumers by licensing our cruelty-free bunny logo for use on product labels and promotional materials. This step helps consumers identify cruelty-free products at a glance while shopping. For a one-time licensing fee of $100, our logo may be used on companies' products, literature, in-store displays, and websites. To meet individual design needs, the logo may be used in any color combination or in black and white. For companies that sell an entirely vegan product line, a version that reads, "Cruelty-Free and Vegan," is also available.
For more information or to request the necessary paperwork, please e-mail [email protected].
Companies are putting their integrity on the line when they respond to consumers. A company that has publicly announced an end to tests on animals and states in writing that it doesn't test on animals would face a public relations disaster and potential lawsuits if it was caught lying.
Labels can be deceptive, so be careful. No specific laws exist regarding cruelty-free labeling of products, and companies may not have the same high standards as PETA when labeling their products. PETA's requirements include ingredients, ingredient suppliers, formulations, and finished products. A company that claims not to test on animals but that doesn't appear on PETA's list may have eliminated tests on animals for finished products but not for ingredients. If you communicate with a company that claims to be cruelty-free but is not on our list, please ask for a statement in writing and send a copy of the statement to PETA. We will contact the company to see whether it meets our cruelty-free criteria. Meanwhile, PETA recommends purchasing only products made by companies on our "Don't Test" list.
Some companies have refused to respond to specific questions about their testing practices. It appears likely that these companies do test on animals at some stage of product development, and their refusal to clarify their testing policies appears to be an attempt to mislead consumers.
Other companies may be new. If you find a company not included on our lists, please share the company's contact information with PETA so that we can contact the company directly.
Some companies are not educated about or sensitive to the suffering of animals in the production of certain products that do not involve the actual slaughter of animals. PETA attempts to educate these companies, but some have persisted in inaccurately labeling their products as free of animal ingredients, even though honey, lanolin, etc., are animal products. Please read the entire label before believing such a statement. We also encourage you to voice a complaint to these companies. For our list of animal ingredients and their alternatives, please visit PETA.org/living/vegetarian-living/animal-ingredient-guide.aspx
PETA's online "Do Test" and "Don't Test" lists are updated frequently to reflect additions (e.g., if we are informed of a new company's policy prohibiting animal testing), deletions (e.g., if a company that doesn't test on animals is purchased by a company that tests on animals or if a company goes out of business), changes in contact information, etc.
PETA's printed version of the Cruelty-Free Shopping Guide is updated approximately twice a year and is based on the most current information available at the time of printing. The animal testing policies of companies can change after any given edition is printed.
PETA reserves the right to choose which companies will be included, based on companies' policies. Inclusion on any list is not an endorsement by PETA of a company or any of its products. Please contact PETA if you have any questions about the status of companies that are listed or if you know the address of a company that is not listed.
The following companies manufacture products that are tested on animals at some stage of development. Those marked with a ♦ are currently observing a moratorium on (i.e., current suspension of) animal testing. Please encourage them to announce a permanent ban. Listed in parentheses are examples of products manufactured by either the company listed or, if applicable, its parent company. For a complete listing of products manufactured by a company on this list, please visit the company's website or contact the company directly for more information. Companies on this list may manufacture individual lines of products that have not been tested on animals. They have not, however, eliminated tests on animals for their entire line of cosmetics and household products.
"Working for Regulatory Change" is a category that recognizes companies that test on animals only when required by law, that are completely transparent with PETA about which animal tests they conduct and why, and that are actively working to promote development, validation, and acceptance of non-animal methods.
While we encourage consumers to support only those companies that have committed to a complete, permanent ban on all tests on animals (please see PETA's list of companies that don't test on animals), we also recognize that some companies that continue to use animals are committed to conducting as few tests on animals as possible and are working openly and diligently to eliminate the tests still required by the government. These companies stand out from other companies that have never contributed to the development and validation of non-animal methods, that have tested on animals when not explicitly required to by law, and that keep all animal tests a closely guarded secret.

The state Department of Public Safety has confirmed an escapee is on the loose in Honolulu Wednesday.
Teddy Munet, 29, escaped during an Oahu Community Correctional Center transport at Circuit Court in Downtown Honolulu shortly after 8:05 a.m.
Munet is 5-feet-11-inches-tall and has a black hoodie which he may be using to hide his belly chain and handcuffs.
Munet was last seen in Kaka'ako. He was being held on a second-degree murder charge, firearms and drug-related charges. Munet was on his way to court for proceedings related to the homicide that occurred on July 19, 2012 at Kawainui Marsh. His attorney says Munet has pleaded not guilty.
The state Public Safety Director Ted Sakai said that Munet was being walked into Circuit Court and he just ran.
Sakai there were eight adult corrections officers at the scene and one of them tried to chase Munet down but failed.
Munet was wearing shorts and a hooded sweatshirt when he escaped. Sakai said Munet was at Circuit Court on Wednesday for a motion in his murder trial. When he was to face the jury, it was required for him to be in civilian clothes to not prejudice the jury.
The following is a list of schools that were in lockdown or heightened alert:
- Central Middle School
- Kawaiaha'o Church School
- Lincoln Elementary School
- Lunalilo Elementary School
- Manoa Elementary School
- McKinley High School
- Noelani Elementary School
- Pauoa Elementary School
- Royal Elementary School
- St. Andrew's Priory
- Stevenson Middle School
- Seagull Schools' Early Education Center
- Voyager Public Charter School
- Washington Middle School
Punahou School and Maryknoll School are also monitoring the situation.
At 9:45 a.m., Royal Elementary and Central Middle initiated lockdowns on their campuses due to the proximity to Circuit Court.
At around the same time, the Department of Education implemented a "heightened alert" status for schools in affected areas as police searched for the escapee.
Heightened alert status requires staff to be vigilantly attentive and watchful to activity and visitors on campuses. Lockdown status is a "no-one-in/no-one-out" situation in which visitors are prohibited from entering the school campus.
Washington Middle initiated a lockdown at 11:30 a.m. Shortly after, the Honolulu Police Department set up a command post at the school's King Street parking lot.
Public school scheduled allow for an early dismissal on Wednesdays. The lockdown status was lifted at the schools' respective dismissal times.
Anyone who sees Munet or has any information on his whereabouts should call 911 immediately.

Illinois State Board of Education and Superintendent of Education
Robert E. Schiller today raised concerns about the ability
of the agency to maintain basic service levels and proper
oversight of state and federal funds in light of vetoes to
the FY04 education budget recently announced by Governor Blagojevich.
Their concerns were discussed as part of a special board
meeting held by conference call in which Schiller reviewed
the vetoes, which total almost $21 million.
Following the Governors direction to reduce administrative
costs, the agency will have to reduce or eliminate various
services to schools and school districts by eliminating as
many as 80 positions at ISBE. The cuts come on the heels of
a recent reduction in force of 45 positions that went into
effect July 1 and 120 positions last winter. The agency has
reduced its headcount by about 30 percent in the last two-and-a-half
There is no doubt the states fiscal condition
is difficult, Schiller said. However, we must
be aware that some of the Governors cuts will have a
dramatically negative impact on how we are able to provide
oversight of grant programs and provide other important support
services for Illinois school districts.
According to Schiller the cuts in grants and positions will
result in an immediate significant impact on services such
State Board members directed Schiller to prepare for them
two approaches for addressing the funding reductions: one
which eliminates all the positions contemplated by the Governors
vetoes, and a second that retains some of those positions
so the agency can meet minimum federal and state requirements
for monitoring how school districts use the money.
ISBE will release detailed news information about impacted
programs as it becomes available.
A breakdown of the impact of the Governors veto proposal
can be found at:
