We believe that the safety of our children is of the upmost importance to you and to our community. We have compiled the following suggestions to help keep you and your children safe in the home, in automobiles and in the community. Car Seats Four out of five car seats are installed incorrectly. Yes, it's true - is your child's car seat installed correctly? Several local organizations, such as the California Highway Patrol (415.924.1100), provide assistance in the installation of child car seats. They will instruct you in ensuring that the seats are installed properly and that the child is positioned correctly in the seat. And remember, children learn by example and the most powerful lesson you can provide your child is for you to ALWAYS use YOUR seat belt. General Tips on Child Car Seat Safety: My child is under age one:
My child is over age one AND between 20 and 40 pounds:
My child is under age 8 AND over 40 pounds:
My child is between the ages of 8 - 12 AND over 60 pounds:
Although current California law states that children must be in safety/booster seats until the age of six or 60 pounds, the American Pediatric Association recommends children remain in safety/boosters seats until the age of eight or 80 pounds. The reason is that children cannot safely use a car's seat belt system until they reach the height of approximately 4'9", which is usually attained around the age of eight. Parents are encouraged to use the following test to determine whether their child is ready for an adult belt:
Unattended Children To address the safety problems caused by leaving children alone in cars, California passed SB 255 in October 13, 2001. The bill was authored by Senator Jackie Speier and is commonly known as Kaitlyn's Law. The year before the law was passed, there were 60 California fatalities involving unattended children in vehicles. Since the law has passed there have been 626 child fatalities. The law states that "leaving young children unattended in motor vehicles has caused serious health and safety harm to children and is an unacceptable public health and safety hazard." The dangers include possible child access to ignition, brakes, trunk, clutch and gear shift lever; extreme cold or heat in the vehicle; or child abduction. This law applies to children 6 years or younger left unattended without the supervision of a person who is 12 years of age or older, and where there are conditions that present a significant risk to the child's health or safety, or when the vehicle's engine is running or the vehicle's keys are in the ignition. The fine for this infraction of the Vehicle Code (VC 15620) is $100. Kids 'n Cars is a nonprofit organization whose primary mission is to pursue public awareness of unattended children in vehicles. Their web site is an excellent source for educational materials, actual cases, and information as to how you can become involved in this important safety issue. If you would like to report an unattended child in a vehicle incident, please the Mill Valley Police Department at 389-4100 and a warning letter will be sent to the driver of the vehicle. If the unattended child seems in imminent danger, please call 911. Forms for reporting incidents are available at City Hall, Edna Maguire and Old Mill elementary schools, and is available to download. The form can be submitted to the Police Department by fax, phone, mail or in person. Child Internet Safety "It is not an exaggeration to say that we are in the midst of an epidemic of sexual abuse and exploitation of our children," stated Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on May 17th, 2006, when asked about sexual predators on the Internet. The following are FBI Facts and Figures:
Every parent needs to know what their child is doing online; the dangers of the Internet; and, how to protect your family from Internet predators. For more information, please see our Child Internet Safety Document. Child Abduction Approach the subject of safety in a non-threatening way. It is important that you don't make your child fearful of dangerous situations or people, but cautious and able to recognize when something is not right. Encourage your child to trust his or her intuition, and be able to talk to you when something is bothering them. They should know not to keep secrets from you. Open communication is very important. Listen to your child. Let your child know that their body belongs to them. No one has the right to touch them inappropriately. If someone is touching them or making them feel uncomfortable in any way, they should let you know immediately, even if it is a family member. Often, children are victims of those they know. Inform your child of the rules pertaining to strangers. Namely, that a stranger looks just like any other person, not like a monster or a creature. Simply put, a stranger is someone that your child does not know. Strangers use different ways to lure a child but the most common lures are: pretending to look for a lost pet; having candy or money for the child if they go to their car with them; asking for directions or help; and, telling the child that they'll hurt family members if they don't comply. Let your child know that adults DO NOT ask children for help nor do they threaten them. Share an easily remembered secret code word with your child, family and close friends that act as caretakers. Tell your child that if anyone approaches them and says that they are a family friend and need to take them somewhere, your child must ask for the code word. If the person really is a friend, they will know it. If they don't know the code word, your child should not go with them. Never label your child's clothing, backpack, or other personal items with their name. An abductor could use this information to try to gain trust with your child. Give your child instructions on what to do if they are separated from you in a mall, a supermarket, or other public place. Tell them to go to a checkout counter, information desk, or to approach a security officer and let them know that they are lost and looking for their parent(s). Know where your child is at all times, and keep a list of their friends' names, addresses, and phone numbers. Keep a record of your child's personal and medical information on hand in case of an emergency. Make sure they are fingerprinted and that you have a recent photo. Remember to update this record every 6-12 months based on your child's growth. If you would like a Child ID kit, please contact Community Services Officer Sheryl Patton at 389-4100, extension 124, or email her at email@example.com. Try not to panic if your child is missing. First, check everywhere in the house, then, check with the neighbors and your child's friends. If you still cannot locate them, immediately call the police. THERE IS NO WAITING PERIOD REQUIRED TO REPORT A MISSING CHILD TO THE POLICE. For more information, please access the following Web sites: National Center for Missing & Exploited Children California Attorney General's Office Polly Klaas Foundation Choosing Quality Child Care Important Questions to Ask... Because the way children are treated in their earliest years of life by important adults shape their future successes or failures, it is crucial that all caregivers provide a healthy setting that encourages appropriate emotional, social and intellectual growth. Parents should observe caregivers interacting with their child before making decisions. Some questions for parents to ask in determining the caregiver's or program's ability to understand babies and toddlers and support healthy development, include:
How do you find good care? Your community may have a child care resource and referral agency that can provide with a list of licensed child care facilities. There is a national hotline Child Care Aware (800-424-2246) that can direct you to your local child resource and referral agency. Accrediting organizations are an important of information about caregivers and early childhood programs that have standards beyond those required by licensing. You may wish to contact the National Association for Family Child Care (accredits family caregivers) at 800-359-3817, the National Association for Education of Young Children (accredits early childhood programs) at 800-424-2460, or the National Resource Center for Health and Safety in Child Care at 800-598-KIDS. Of course, you still have to visit and judge for yourself how a caregiver or program meets the needs of your child and family. Recommendations of other parents, friends and co-workers are often helpful. Teach Your Children to Protect Themselves Preschoolers A preschooler should always be under the supervision and protection of a responsible adult. The preschooler should know:
Six to Ten Years Old As children get older they want more freedom and responsibility. Grant privileges only when you are confident your child is ready. Don't let your child get into a situation he/she isn't ready to handle. Keep reviewing the rules. Use "what if" scenarios to check if your child knows what to do in various situations. The older child should know:

|Cookie Mix in a Jar is a great holiday gift and this recipe for Butterscotch Pecan Cookies is a delicious choice.
Butterscotch Pecan Cookie Mix in a JarButterscotch. Pecan. Cookies. Seriously. Now y'all know reading the title of this recipe that this was right up my little ole southern ally didn't ya?
Thank GOODNESS, that this is the time of year where most people (finally) throw caution to the wind for a bit and indulge in many of the sweet treats that they love. One of the things that busy folks love receiving as a gift at Christmas is any kind of homemade food goodies, but busy moms especially would love receiving a gift of a homemade cookie mix in a jar. Not only is it something that they can just dump in a bowl, add a few fresh ingredients and have homemade cookies done in no time, but it's also something that they can have little aspiring chefs come and help with in the kitchen.
Well, thanks to the Domino Sugar website, you can pick up a few ideas of your own to make it even easier. Now, I've been a fan of Domino products for years, so you'll pretty much always find a few things in my pantry with the Domino name on them. I was so excited when I saw that Domino has a special Sweet Ideas site loaded with great gift ideas. One of those includes several mixes in a jar where all you have to do is layer the ingredients in a jar, decorate with some embellishments, and print and attach tags that are free right there from the site! In no time you have an inexpensive but wonderful gift to give to someone special.
I'm making these luscious butterscotch pecan cookies, and I am here to tell you that they are some kind of delicious! For this mix, we'll need all purpose flour, salt, baking soda, Domino light brown sugar, butterscotch morsels, chopped pecans and some sort of clear jar that will hold approximately 1 quart.
First, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. I'm using a wide-mouth Mason jar to do my cookie in a mix, which I happened to have on hand already. I'm also using the funnel that came with my canning kit, since it has a wide spout - perfect for layering all of the ingredients.
In the bottom of the jar, add in the flour mixture. Shake the jar to level the flour a bit. Top that layer with the brown sugar.
Pat down the brown sugar to pack it in tight. I used the top part of a meat mallet.
Add the butterscotch chips on top of the brown sugar and press them in. Top with the chopped pecans and press them in.
To decorate the top, use a piece of scrap fabric, pretty paper, or tissue paper cut into a 7-inch square or round.
Add the ring and trim any ragged edges. I used a piece of decorative ribbon to hide the ring and just stapled the ends together. I'll cover the staple with the bow.
On top of the ribbon, I used some raffia strips in natural, red and green colors that I twisted together and wrapped around the jar. I stuck in some squiggly raffia pieces and tied a bow over them.
When the recipient of your gift is ready to make cookies, all they will need to do is cream some butter, add an egg and vanilla extract, and dump in the entire contents of the cookie jar mix and mix it all together.
Then I wrapped the dough and let it chill in the fridge for a bit to firm up some. The recipe will make 3 dozen small cookies when making them by teaspoons, but I like to use this small scoop, so I'll probably get about 2 dozen my size. I also like to use parchment paper when I bake cookies.
Scoop the dough onto the parchment and bake. Remove and let cool completely on a rack.
Eat 'em up and enjoy, or package them up and give them to a very lucky recipient!
Well, C&H/Domino Sugar's website not only has this Butterscotch Pecan Cookie Mix in a Jar, but several other cookie mixes in a jar, PLUS drink mixes in a jar like Toffee Coffee Mix in a Jar, and edible ornaments, like Cookie Ornaments, Popcorn Ball Ornaments made from caramelized popcorn, and even Sugar Body Scrubs. Loads of other fantastic home baked goodies gift ideas await you, complete with beautiful printable tags to go along with them.
I would love to show you the pretty colorful tag page I printed, but apparently the color cartridge on my printer was completely dried out, and this is all I got. Bummer.

Military Matters: Change Of Command
Fort Drum welcomed a new Deputy Commander for Support Wednesday, and said good-bye to another.
Brigadier General Walter Piatt is leaving the position to become Commanding General of the Joint Multinational Training Center in Germany. It's the Army's largest training command outside the continental United States.
"Walt Piatt is not only a great deputy, he's a good friend," said Major General Stephen Townsend, Commanding General of the 10th Mountain Division.
"I've known him since he was a major here and I was a lieutenant colonel. We first met here in about 1999."
Gen. Piatt will be replaced by Col. Carl Alex, who has served as the deputy chief legislative liason at the Pentagon since last year, after a long career in infantry.

SVMC corrects deficiencies, will contine to receive MedicareStaff report | November 06,2013BENNINGTON - A follow-up visit to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center found that hospital officials have corrected the deficiencies identified in early October which leaves the Bennington hospital in good standing with the federal Medicare program, according to a press release from SVMC.
No deficiencies were identified during a three-day follow-up visit which ended Oct. 30.
In a statement, Thomas Dee, president and CEO of Southwestern Vermont Health Care, the hospital's parent company, said he was pleased with the findings. Dee thanked the nurses, doctors and other staff that worked to make sure the hospital could continue to accept Medicare payment.
The inspection was prompted by an incident, reported by SVMC officials, in early October during which a patient died unexpectedly but two emergency room nurses failed to report the death immediately.
Dee said hospital officials "offered our sincere apology to the patient's family" and remained in contact with them to will continue to keep them apprised of the changes made by the hospital.
"This incident does not define us. Our nursing quality has been recognized by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Magnet program, and we take pride in that. The entire staff's desire and ability to quickly set things right ensures that our community continues to have access to the high quality care they deserve and have come to expect from SVMC."Dee added.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Let freedom ring
Looking around, I noticed a different theme emerging, in the (armless) form of Venus de Milo, one of the most famous works of ancient Greek sculpture. The Venus has always held a certain allure for me, and I was happy to discover that artist Barbara Zweig was in the house to explain her process. "Venus is, to me, an icon of culture, beauty and youth," Zweig told me, noting that I was particularly drawn to the beaded interpretations of the goddess hanging on one wall. She explained that the reason the beads appear to "bleed" down onto the floor is an expression of her "reflection on the present state of our commodified culture." I'm not entirely sure that I grasped the concept, but Zweig's ghostly images are haunting and I often applaud that which I don't understand, accepting the limitations my aging brain allows.
It was easy to cross the road and have a nice birthday dinner at the Dancing Cat before crossing the parking lot to hear personal fave Peter Florance and the New Kings (like them on Facebook) playing in the Distillery, where friends acknowledged my wrinkled visage with a raised glass of good cheer against my protestations about being officially "over the hill." My dance partner was a dog (www.facebook.com/DharmaTheWonderDog), but she is the best date I could ask for and I love having the freedom to take her with me wherever I go.
On Sunday, I went with a pal to Narrowsburg, NY to check out the Fort Delaware Museum, which offers visitors an "authentic depiction of the life of the Delaware Company pioneers who settled in the Upper Delaware Valley in 1754." (www.upperdelawarescenicbyway.org)
My visit there was so interesting, that I feel the need to write freely about just that, and plan to devote a separate article on the Fort in next week's issue of The River Reporter. I know you're on the edge of your seat, so try to contain your excitement. It's only a few days away.

Selected performance:
Thursday 2nd May
CHINA MOSES, daughter of Dee Dee Bridgewater and director Gilbert Moses, has been steeped in music and the theatre world since she was a child. Exceptionally gifted, she released her first single Time (1996) at the age of 16 along with her first video directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino. This success was followed by three albums: "China" (1997), "On Tourne en Rond" (2000) and " Good Lovin' " (2004), turning her into a force to be reckoned with on the French R' n' B scene. Her albums saw her work with Swedish hip hop label Breaking Bread as well as renowned names like DJ Mehdi, Diam's, Karriem Riggins, Guru, Anthony Marshall and sound engineer Bob Power. In 2008 her curiosity led her on an adventure with a metal/soul band that experimented with a fascinating fusion of rock, funk and hip hop (Sound Good To You) in a quest to discover new sounds. She did the voice over for Princess Tiana in the French version of Walt Disney's film The Princess and the Frog (2009). She also sang on André Manoukian's "So in Love" album, recording several songs including the title track. With that old saying sharing is caring close to her heart, she loves to share her passion for music by appearing on music channels such as: MCM (1999-2001) and MTV France (2004-2011). In 2011 she joined the team for the 8th season of French TV show Le Grand Journal on Canal+ which she left in July 2012. Since October 2011 she has been presenting Jazz Radio's Made in China programme which airs Mondays to Fridays from 7 to 8pm. In a bid to manage her diverse activities as an entertainer, China launched her own production company in 2008 called MadeInChina Productions.
The career of pianist Raphaël Lemonnier on the other hand has always been focused on jazz. He made his debut at the age of 16 with the Nimes Big Band under the direction of Jeff Gilson and then went off on tour for a month to New Orleans with Labory's Creole Jazz Band. He developed a passion for boogie-woogie which he studied with Philippe Lejeune. The expert teaching he received by Philippe Duchemin also helped to open up wider jazz horizons. With his heart set on living his passion for jazz to the full, Raphaël hotfooted it to New York in 1997. He played in some of Manhattan's top clubs and became one of a rare species of French students who played with pianist Jaki Byard (who recorded with Charlie Mingus & Eric Dolphy…). As a tribute to Erroll Garner (one of his main influences along with Oscar Peterson, Earl Hines and Count Basie) he recorded his first album entitled Raphaël Lemonnier Jazz Trio (1997). Upon his return to France, he worked on musical notation with Yvan Jullien and participated in a number of festivals (Nimes Jazz Springtime, Jazz in Montauban, Tangier Jazz Festival…). His activities also included composing music and jingles for TV channels LCI and ARTE. Far from remaining confined within the strict boundaries of jazz, his music became enriched by diverse influences as a result of different and positive encounters with other musicians, including a collaboration with Flamenco guitarist Gregorio Ibor-Sanchez that led to a composition about the Spanish War. He also performed with songstress Camille at the Café de la Danse in Paris. That's where he met China Moses, one of Camille's backing singers. Something clicked between them and they created a show called "Gardenias For Dinah", a tribute to their mutual idol Dinah Washington. She was the inspiration for the album This One's For Dinah which was released in 2009 by Blue Note and given a unanimous, big thumbs up by the critics.
Her latest, Crazy Blues, is a project that features China as both vocalist and producer. It was conceived as a tribute to some of the Great Dames of Blues and Soul whose careers have fascinated China over the years. They include Dinah Washington and some of her precursors and peers: Mamie Smith, Helen Humes, Lil Green, Ma Rainey, as well as stars like Esther Phillips, Nina Simone, Janis Joplin, Etta James, Ann Peebles and Donna Summer. This project was not without its challenges. If you walk cautiously down a musically majestic pathway marked by sublime masterpieces from the past, sung by exceptional musical greatness and the splendour of a bygone musical era you risk being the centre of unflattering comparison, a bit like being an amateur painter in a museum reproducing great works of art without revealing any secrets. To avoid this trap China Moses and Raphaël Lemonnier decided to exploit the resources provided by their own personal journeys marked by discovery, musical encounters and passion without worrying too much about labels or being confined by specific genres. Therefore the songs veer from the originals with an innovative twist on composition and arrangements by Raphaël Lemonnier – who sometimes incorporates a Wurlitzer piano. As well as utilising the skills of musicians well versed in this type of exercise, they added horn orchestrations by Francois Biensan to bring a breath of fresh air to Why Don't You Do Right, a classic by Lil Greene with a memorable version by Peggy Lee; Crazy Blues by Mamie Smith which kick-started the trend for blues singers, Cherry Wine, the duo with Sly Johnson, originally sung by a young Esther Phillips, and Donna Summer's hit Hot Stuff. With the same spirit in mind, You're Crying is performed on this album using a string section – arranged by Jean-Claude Ghrenassia – that does not appear in Dinah Washington's version. Other songs on this album include the iconic Work Song by Nina Simone; Closing Time, a duo with Hugh Coltman, who also penned the words put to music by Raphaël, a song that brings the atmosphere of a bar at the end of the night to life and The Mailman The Butcher and Me, an original composition by China and Raphaël dedicated to different men evoked in the blues scene such as the doctor in Dr Feelgood, the dentist in Long John Blues and the TV repair man in T.V. Is The Thing This Year. An agile rhythm section backs the time-honoured and talented performances of a range of soloists. And to top it off there's China Moses, with her wonderful voice. Her growing confidence is evident in the authority of her performance of Resolution Blues by Dinah Washington, You're Crying (embellished by an exquisite solo by Luigi Grasso), the joyful dynamism of Etta James's I Just Wanna Make Love To You and coy emotion of Just Say I Love Him immortalised by Nina Simone with a fabulous trombone intro played by Bastien Ballaz.
In short, by favouring spirit over form, these interpretations are a million miles from being a simple copy of the original. Along with these album songs, other songs have been recorded specifically for stage performances such as: Kitchen Man by Bessie Smith, the Empress of the Blues, Today I Sing The Blues by Helen Humes and Aretha Franklin and Love Me Or Leave Me sung so memorably by Billie Holiday. And that's because China and Raphaël prefer nothing more than to perform live in front of an audience surrounded by their musicians. 'We have been on tour to India, Japan and Montreal,' she says 'We opened for on B.B. King and Dionne Warwick. Our stage performances are organised like a show. I love to tell stories, I see myself as a jazz storyteller and I like to make sure that people smile in between songs.' A wonderful programme indeed.

Using Exposure CompensationLast month we talked about understanding in-camera metering. We mentioned using exposure compensation, but wanted to expand on the topic by covering not only what it is, but explaining what it does and how to use it.
|a digital meter scale
|an exposure compensation button
There is a setting on most SLR cameras called Exposure Compensation. This is a setting that will allow your camera to set its exposure, and then allows you to intentionally override the exposure by up to 3 f-stops in either direction (under or over expose) to get the desired results. With many of the early film cameras, this was usually a dial on the top of the camera that went from -3 to +3. With some of the newer SLR cameras, it was changed to a button.
|an exposure compensation dial (on a newer p&s digital)
A good example of why you would want to underexpose and image would be if you were taking a picture of a full moon on a clear night. If you keep your camera on automatic, you'll see a bright light in the sky, but no detail in the moon. By underexposing by 2 or 3 stops, you'll see the detail and might just capture the best moon photo you've ever taken.
Another setting on your camera that was designed to help correct for these issues is called the Exposure Lock. This is typically a button that you push to lock in the exposure that the cameras light meter had taken. In order to do this correctly, you would have to walk up to the subject, push the exposure lock button, then while holding the button, walk back so that you could get the snow, or sunset back in the photo, and then take your picture. This button allows your camera to choose a setting based on the subject and not on the background, which will in turn let you correctly expose the area of your photo that is most important.

text: We are always looking for new ways to update our denim options, and it looks like we have a brand new one to add to the list of boyfriend jeans, skinny jeans, distressed jeans, flared jeans, and wideleg jeans. Let us introduce you to the new denim cropped jeans, which make perfect sense to pair with the ankle baring shoe options we love to bust out around this time. Cropped jeans are casual and cool with our sneakers and ballet flats, but also look so feminine and chic with strappy heels, platform booties, and embellished gladiator sandals. We love them skinny and printed to add interest to our basic tops, or slouchy and sitting low on the hip, with holes and light distressing here and there to contrast with our prim and proper blouses. Cropped jeans are the perfect refresher we've been looking for this season.

What should I do if my child is the target of bullying?
It is critical that children and young adults feel safe in the educational environment. From a procedural perspective, the most appropriate course of action in addressing bullying issues is to contact the school principal. If after contacting the school principal your concerns remain, you may consider contacting the district superintendent for assistance. It is crucial that the superintendent be made aware of such issues if they continue unabated.
Authority and responsibility to administer discipline and respond to acts of bullying rests with the local board of education, through the office of the superintendent of schools and building administration. If your concerns are still not resolved, you may consider contacting the local board of education. If, after exhausting all inquiries at the district level, your concerns remain, you may consider contacting the office of the regional superintendent of schools that holds supervisory authority over the schools in your county. A listing of regional offices/superintendents can be found on the following website: http://www.isbe.net/regionaloffices/pdf/roedirectory.pdf.
Finally, the United States Department of Education, through the Office of Civil Rights (OCR), directs school districts to look at each bullying incident not only as a violation of bullying policy, but as a possible action of discriminatory harassment. If discriminatory harassment has occurred, the school district must take steps to end the harassment, regardless of any discipline imposed for bullying. A complaint of discrimination can be filed by anyone who believes that a school that receives Federal financial assistance has discriminated against someone on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age.
The following is a link to the OCR complaint form: http://wdcrobcolp01.ed.gov/CFAPPS/OCR/complaintform.cfm. The person or organization filing the complaint need not be a victim of the alleged discrimination, but may complain on behalf of another person or group. Before filling out the complaint form, it might be useful to read the information in the following link to understand how the Office of Civil Rights handles bullying complaints at http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/complaintintro.html. You may also contact OCR at 1‐800‐421‐3481.

Mullein Fields
I've been making webcomics for ten years. That doesn't give me any special status or anything … it just means that I've drawn a lot of stuff.
For the first part of those ten years, I drew a comic strip called Mullein Fields, featuring a cast of anthropomorphic cartoon animals residing in the Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey. The strip ran from 2003 to 2006, and at the risk of committing the gravest of internet crimes – sincerity – I remember it fondly.
As a cartoonist, my overarching goal (aside from the obvious desire to drawr good) is to make cartoons which emphasize the natural humor in character interactions, rather than lame jokes and indiscriminate sarcasm.
Unfortunately, this goal was not yet arched (over or otherwise) when the very first strip appeared in April 2003 …
Fortunately, the comic improved over the next couple of months, and the characters began developing personalities.
Here, we see Jerry trying to sell his sister, Loretta, on the existence of subliminal advertising …
I totally did not have a copy of The Clam Plate Orgy on my desk as I drew those strips. Moving on …
Now we meet the parents of the anthropomorphic urchins seen above. These characters are named Fred and Maureen (no relation to the Inhuman Relations Fred and Maureen). Rampant development in Southern New Jersey was a recurring theme in this strip … mostly because it bugged the hell out of me, and I needed an outlet.
Luckily for those reading, I'll spare you the worst of those strips.
Oh hey, speaking of recurring themes … School days. More like SCHOOL DAZE, amirite? Back me up on this! Ha ha! …
But seriously. I hated school.
Meanwhile, in cheerier climes, we find the neighbor kids, Georgia and Penny. They're twins. And see, it's supposed to be funny because Georgia is a raccoon and Penny is an opossum. Ha.
OK, it wasn't funny at all. It's a relic from the early days of the strip, when the characters were "aware" of the fact that they were animals acting like humans. Mercifully, that schtick was eventually dropped, and the characters became more human than animal.
This next strip isn't quite there yet, because schtick disposal is never quick and easy.
True story. I failed math class more times than I could count.
Warning: don't read the following strip. Do me this favor. Don't read it. Just look at the pictures. DON'T read the haiku. Do not.
Argh, you read it! I can never trust you again.
I had to have known haikus followed the 5-7-5 syllable format. I couldn't have been that stupid. I have no idea how I messed it up. All I can do is plead forgiveness, and promise never to write poetry ever again.
Trees look nice, though. I actually used my own photo reference.
These are what I call Ramblin' Strips. The characters just ramble around a particular location. No story. No plot. Just ramblin'. In this case, Loretta and Georgia wander around the woods behind their houses.
My Pogo obsession was in full swing right about here. Not that it ever completely subsided. In fact, this whole running commentary idea was swiped directly from Walt Kelly's own Ten Ever-Lovin' Blue Eyed Years With Pogo.
|Friendly reminder: this site is merely a "general overview" of the comic. If you find yourself enjoying what you see, hey, groovy!
In that case, you can buy the complete, unexpurgated archive of 570(ish) comics in the form of a rugged trade paperback, appropriately titled The Complete Mullein Fields.
Or … if you prefer pixels to paper, a digital version of the book is also available.

Sentence looms in Milwaukee fetal-abduction case
Morales-Rodriguez faces two counts of first-degree intentional homicide
A Milwaukee woman convicted of trying to steal a baby by killing a pregnant woman and slicing out her full-term fetus is due to be sentenced.
A jury convicted 34-year-old Annette Morales-Rodriguez of two counts of first-degree intentional homicide, one each for the mother and baby.
She faces a mandatory life sentence at a hearing Thursday afternoon. However, the judge may allow for the possibility of parole.
Prosecutor Mark Williams declined to say what sentence he will request. But he says the crime was horrible and hopes Morales-Rodriguez is punished proportionately.
Messages left with her defense attorneys were not immediately returned.
Morales-Rodriguez told police she killed the 23-year-old mother because she was desperate to give her boyfriend a son.

After watching the NBA team he owned for 33 years be sold out from under him, former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's less-that-steller year continues.
Alleged former mistress V. Stiviano filed new legal documents in her battle with Donald's wife Shelly claiming she was not his mistress and that she never slept with Donald because he is homosexual.
The New York Daily News reported that in the lawsuit -- which Stiviano filed in response to Shelly's allegations that she accepted cars and property from Donald that he didn't have the authority to give her -- Stiviano argues that the items in question were given to her in exchange for helping Donald conceal his gay lifestyle.
Stiviano also claims that Shelly knew about it.
In the lawsuit, Stiviano states that she was "not ever a sexual partner of Donald T. Sterling" and "believes that [Sterling] is a homosexual and enjoys sexual acts and or sexual congress with males."
In the legal document, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Stiviano says Shelly was "acutely aware of [Donald's] sexual orientation and condoned same as well as acknowledged and approved [Donald's] gifts of money [to Stiviano]."
Stiviano is also suing Shelly and Donald for $10 million for defamation, claiming they slandered her in the media by calling her a thief and saying she embezzled money and property from Donald.

Mike Lieberthal
Career w/Phillies: .274 AVG / 149 HR / 609 RBI / 8 SB
The Phillies all-time leader in catching, Mike Lieberthal was a mainstay for the franchise in the final years of Veterans Stadium. A two-time All-Star and once Gold Glove winner, Lieby had a few very good seasons behind the plate, displaying equal parts power and contact while supplying sufficient defense. His most powerful season came in 1999, when he hit 31 home runs, drove in 96 and hit .300 en route to an All-Star berth. Then he hit .313 for the 2003 Phillies, showcasing a fine eye during that campaign. Most of his seasons were plagued by injury, as he suffered numerous bouts with his knee, but he still finished as the franchise's all time catching leader in home runs, runs batted in and games played.
Comment: Most of us younger fans can divide our Phillie-following days into two distinct eras: The Daulton era and the Lieberthal era. Lieby caught some bad teams, but he had a little success toward the end of his Phillie career. He remains one of the franchise's greatest backstops, and to me, deserved a spot in the top 40, just like Daulton and the third great Phillie catcher, Bob Boone.
46 Comments
I love it. One of my favorite contemporary phillies. He was booed so much by this town when he was hitting like 260 and 270 and even into 280 becuase people expected more from him when he still was in the top 3 each year for batting average for catchers.
Really apparent that a 24 year old put thi list together. I guess Daulton, Dykstra and Kruk will be top ten.
makes me happy to see Lieberthal in the top 40, he was a important part of my favorite 2003 club, but the real question is where is Brandon DUckworth, lol
Haha, this is great. He was one of my favorite players on the Phils during those years. I still have and wear his jersey to the ballpark.
Oh man, you're right mde77. You are SOOO right. I actually have Ricky Otero listed at No. 9 and Wes Chamberlain at No. 2.
FYI, the top 10 has ONE player who started his Phillie career when I was alive.
So get a clue.
I think the most impressive stat listed for Lieby is the 8 stolen bases… man could hustle!
My guess is that one phillie player who started your phillie career when you were alive, tim, is none other than Curt Schilling. It just has to be
Number 7 is Omar Daal.
Robert Person, he hit a grand slam
Actually, if this guy and others who criticized me are right, I'm going with Billy McMillon. Guy hit a grand slam at a game I saw live.
All jokes aside, Lieberthal is a solid choice for the list. Personally, I could probably think of guys more deserving of a top 40 spot, but he wouldn't be much further down the list.
Dude.. was at the game where robert person hit a grand slam. He hit another home run that game and came close to hitting a third, but it went foul.
there it is…. june 7th, 2002 vs. montreal… http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PHI/PHI200206020.shtml . the sad thing is i think i was up getting food during one of the HRs.
dudes legs were terrible and the pitching staff hated him. I don't care if he's on the list but his last few years were a nightmare and it never felt like we could win with him.
To get that kind of stability and production at the catcher position was incredible, I know Lieberthal had knocks on him but so did Piazza and if one o our guys gives the kind of tenure Lieberthal gave then we'll be very lucky.
Is it realy any surprise that youfrontrunners booed him? Whether he deserved it or not is irrelevant. You're the same frontrunners who all declared the season over in August only to jump back on the bandwagon again when your frontrunning fancies were tickled. Too bad the Phillies have to play in Philadelphia. They're a good team that deserves a good city and good fans but they get the nation's sphincter instead.
My favorite moment from Lieby was when a batter charged, I think it was Randy Wolf, Lieby came from behind and tackled the batter that charged the mound. I remember thinking, WOW, he could've played football too.
Lieby def had some good years specially the late 90s early 2000s, didn't he win a gold glove at least once? Ricky Otero is a solid selection for the top 5 come on best CF ever! While we're at it why don't we throw Tony Baron in the mix, he had that one amazing play in RF where he ate the turf at the Vet going after a ball and was on the ESPN highlight reel for the rest of the year.
Lieberthal I would not rank above Cole Hamels.
He was pretty good when the team itself was terrible. He was mediocre when the team started to contend. But I give Lieby credit for he really supported the Phils, even after his time with the team ended. Wolf talked about him going to the locker room to watch the team in '07 while on the Dodgers and I even believe he attended the World Series games.
being only 16, i grew up watchin lieby, and I gotta say, I like this pick tim. Although I think hamels would be more deserving in a year or two, i think lieby's tenure has to influence this decision. Lieby was and still is one of my favorite phillies
Speaking of sphincters, I got to know your mothers really well. It tells me to tell you it says hi and really misses you. I thought that was odd that you know your own mothers sphincter, but hey I don't judge. You idiot.
Tyler: "More deserving in a year or two"? Is winning four games in the playoffs and becoming World Series MVP not deserving enough? Lieberthal has tenure but he never did anything amazing which is kind of why I'm puzzled that he beats Hamels. I mean Hamels could flat out suck the rest of his career but there is still no erasing what he did in the play offs.
It should read in his steriod season of 1999 Mike hit 31 homeruns…
Wonder if he got those roids from the Mets clubhouse guys??
12 years as a Phillies backstop… by the numbers, he's arguably the greatest catcher in franchise history. A terrific offensive catcher (by position standards) and certainly above average defensively, Lieby is a shoe-in for the top 50. The best catcher in franchise history… how can he not fall in the top 50?
I would be REALLY surprised if Daulton was in the top ten. He had 2 great seasons and several mediocre seasons at the plate. Not good enough to warrant top ten consideration in my opinion. Frankly Mike Lieberthal was better offensively! Dutch was a guy that we loved and thought he was better than he really was.
Dutch: .245 BA, 137 HRs, 588 RBIs, 50 SBs, .357 OBP, .427 Slugging %
Lieby: .274 BA, 150 HRs, 610 RBIs, 8 SBs, .337 OBP, 446 Slugging %
Joel you are very correct my friend, Lieby was definitely better, and very much agree that Dutch was a overrated but then again you can't outweigh the aspect that he can talk to lizards AND TIMETRAVELS!
Joel, I do not remember all of Tim's selection criteria but I would imagine the intagibles that the player added to their teams has to rank high, along with the stats.
Dutch was an integral part of that gang in 93′. Admirable stats and a scary-ness about him that made him a loveable leader – a tough guy, a ladies man who turned out to be cooky after all!
Daulton had the priveledge of playing on 2 WS, the last being the improbable 97 Marlins as they met and defeated the favored Cleveland Indians. That team had Ramirez, Thome & Matt Williams (all with over 100 rbi), Visquel, and Sandy Alomar jr who had his best year. This team could hit the ball. They also had unfortunately, Jose Table who blew the save for the Tribe in the bottom of the 9th. Dutch called quits after that one.
"Most of we" ?!!?
I may have missed Tim's criteria for his choices in his "greatest Phillies" list. Is it a combination of team tenure, stats, intangibles, awards, his era? It's mind boggling to see that Lieberthal and 52 other players are in Tim's opinion have made greater contributions than Pete Rose! How many players on Tim's list have helped the Phillies get to the World Series twice (1980, 1983)? How many players have been named an "All Star" every single year with the team (four)? How many players on the list can be singled out for inspired leadership in the clubhouse and on the field?
Oh well, as they say, everyone is entitled to their opinion including yours truly. 🙂
John: I originally wrote "We younger fans," then added "Most of," which changed the sentence. I'll edit that now. Thanks.
Pete was with the Phillies FIVE seasons (1979-1983), not four. I also agree he would be lower than #54 on my list. Certainly he contributed more than Liberthal, but as you said, this is Tim's list.
greg v., while i see your point, i do think tenure and lieby's pretty good stats for his position do make him a better candidate. Yes, hamels led us to the WS and won it for us, but it's one season. Besides this past season, he has been injured frequently, so therefore isn't always reliable. And as others have stated, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
You guys are debating over who was the Phils best catcher of all time, Dutch or Lieby, well you are both wrong…….Bob Boone !
First, strike off Pete Rose's All-Star berths. Ricky Bones made an All-Star team. By that time Rose was earning them off his name.
Second, Rose was not a great offensive player with the Phillies. Good? OK. His lifetime Phillies OPS+ is right around 100, which actually makes him average. He had two very good seasons (1979, 1981), two slightly below-average seasons (1980, 1982) and one poor season (1983). He had good OBP numbers, but they weren't consistent over the course of his Phillies career.
Third, leadership has a small factor in my list. Yes, it's great Rose came in and helped lead the Phils to the title. Does that make him any more important than, say, Jamie Moyer? Whose leadership also helped the Phils win a title? Heck, Moyer had one great year, one poor year and one mediocre year. Should he be in the top 40?
(By the way, if those 1980 Phillies, with Schmidt, Carlton, Luzinski, Maddox, Trillo, McBride, Boone, Bowa, McGraw, Reed, Noles and Christenson ALL IN THEIR PRIME couldn't even make the playoffs, then they should've been taken out to the woodshed. Ridiculous that they needed Rose to win.)
Lieberthal, meanwhile, was an above-average hitting catcher for his Phillies career. His OPS+ numbers indicate he had four average (or very very close to average) seasons offensively. He also had four above-average seasons. Two others were poor – one because he was hurt almost the entire season. Factor in that he's a catcher and not a first baseman like Rose and Lieby was a better offensive player than Rose for his Phillie career.
Lieby also was a fine defensive player. And he made it to two All-Star teams (not by name, mind you), so if you want to consider AS teams, consider that.
And Lieby was something of a leader. And sure, Rose came in and helped to win a title, but really, would you have expected the 1999 Phillies, with a pitching staff that included Paul Byrd, Chad Ogea, Carlton Loewer, a rookie Randy Wolf, Robert Person, Wayne Gomes, Jim Poole, Amaury Telemaco and Yorkis Perez, to actually win something? I mean, Gomes was the closer!
I stand behind all my picks here. And definitely the Rose pick at No. 54.
From the Rose thread:
"In defense of Tim, I think a lot of us see the name Pete Rose and think of his whole career. This is only as a phillie for this countdown though. If you look at his numbers as a phillie, they are not amazing because he didnt play here that long. Take away the name Pete Rose and only look at his numbers and you'll see where Tim is coming from. For instance, someone like Bobby Abreu isnt anywhere close to Rose as a player but had better numbers as a phillie so will be higher on this list."
Agreed. Also read a comment by Phil in that post. He lists about 40 or so players who deserve to be higher than Rose. As you'll see, most of those players haven't yet been revealed.
Pete Rose was great. Absolutely. One of the top 20 baseball players ever. But for his five years with the Phillies he was NOT that great. He was good, yes. He was very good, yes. But great? Greater than the man who caught the most games as a Phillie and leads Phillie catchers in all major offensive stats? NO.
If you want to cry about Pete Rose further, do it in the Pete Rose thread. But that's my stance. And I'll shut up about it from now on.
/end anger
I'm sorry I went on like that, but this Rose talk has been going on ever since I revealed him. I needed to state my case. Let's continue.
My god people, get off your high-horses and enjoy this list for what it is – a labor of love from a fan. This list took tons of time to comprise and tons of effort. Those of you complaining about the list should appreciate the effort instead of trying to tear it down.
I don't care where Tim places players on this list, I'm just enjoying the everyday read about great Phillies from the past during a time of year when I can't watch the Phillies play each and every day.
Thanks Tim
people just like to bitch and complain…
its definitely cool to look back and see what numbers people put together while they were in a Phillies uniform
Did I get banned earlier for my shenanigans??
Rose is #54? I must have missed that. I was thinking he would be in the top 5…
Just kidding, Tim. 54 is a fine slot for his Phillie years. And Lieby was a good choice here. He was an all star when the Phils were starving for highlights on ESPN. We suffered some lean times after '93, the steroid boys. (don't kid yourself) I believe Lieby was using in '99 too. I heard that from a reliable source, the Internet.
Tim, calm down man! You made a list, you should expect people to comment on it! It just seemed weird that Pete Rose was as low as he was! But it's your opinion which what makes the list fun to debate. Nobody is trashing you for your opinion. It gives us fans something to debate! If Sal Fasano ends up being your number 1 favorite Phillie (just kidding), so be it! I'm sure you would read my list and disagree with a lot! But don't get all bent out of shape. You write of other players in team history, many don't know about which makes this a lot of fun and very informative. Chill!
Dude I'm chill. I had to give my case, however, cause some people just assume I throw darts on the wall and not actually do research when I do these things.
Tim, its an awesome list, and your point was well made. To quote another post from that thread, He lost points for the Burgandy Pajamas he was wearing in the picture.
Mike Lieberthal deserves this spot on this list. Lieby was not what was wrong with the Phillies from 94- 06. In the glow of the W.S., we forget that for almost 2 decades(except for 93), our team was run by inept people. The ownership group refused to spend money and for 8 of those years we had an arrogant bastard taking the reign s at GM. Travis Lee, Marlon Byrd, Jason Michaels, FERNANDO VALENZUELA, Jose Mesa. That was the problem with this franchise. Lieby just happened to be a great catcher on a bad, bad ball club. Find me 7 catchers during Lieby's tenure with better numbers during that time period.
Lieby is definatly better then Dutch… It should be the other way around on this one. Lieby was always one of my favorites. The man could play!!!
It appears that you've put a lot of effort into your site and I need even more of those online right now. I truly got a kick from the post. I don't ever have much to communicate responding, I merely desired to remark to your remarkable work.

An interesting new paper (behind paywall) has been accepted for publication in the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences. The paper by Jiansong Zhou and Ka-Kit Tung of the University of Washington, Seattle is titled "Deducing Multi-decadal Anthropogenic Global Warming Trends Using Multiple Regression Analysis". This paper will add fuel to the recent discussions about the nature of the global warming trend and whether it recently has stabilized or not. The authors by the way conclude it has not. Their main conclusions however is:
When the AMO is included, in addition to the other explanatory variables such as ENSO, volcano and solar influences commonly included in the multiple linear regression analysis, the recent 50-year and 32-year anthropogenic warming trends are reduced by a factor of at least two. There is no statistical evidence of a recent slow-down of global warming, nor is there evidence of accelerated warming since the mid-20th century.

Phlower Power and the Return of the Bats
The calendar says that Opening Day is only a little over a month away. But you wouldn't know it if you looked out my window this morning. This was the lovely view from my blogging chair:
Blechh! Snow – and lots of it.
I've discovered that with each passing year, I'm less and less tolerant of things like snow and cold weather. In fact, I fantasize about the day when my children are out of the house, or at least in college, and my husband and I become "snowbirds". We'll get a condo in Clearwater Beach, be a couple of retirees working at the ballpark during Spring Training, and not have to deal with those evil white flakes from the sky.
Okay, that's not happening any time soon, as our youngest is only in second grade. But one can dream!🙂
Another sure sign that spring is on the way, in addition to the Phillies' annual migration south, is the Philadelphia Flower Show. Or, as you'll see in a moment, maybe I should call it the Phlower Show.
Every March, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society puts on what is one of the oldest and largest flower shows in the country. The past few years I have been a volunteer photographer at the show – in exchange for spending a couple hours photographing the blue-ribbon winners in the horticultural society's competitive classes, I get free admission to the show, a savings of $28! Not a bad deal – after I'm done with the prize winners, I can spend the rest of the day wandering around the show, taking in the sights and smells of spring.
Every year, the show has a different theme. This year's theme was Bella Italia, so all the major exhibits had a definite Italian flavor. As you can see, they did a great job of transforming the cavernous interior of the Pennsylvania Convention Center into beautiful Roman-style gardens.
One of the exhibitors, though, must be a baseball fan. As I was about to call it a day, I spied this well-attired statue:
Go Phils!
Speaking of the Phils, they must have read my plea last Friday to wake up their bats from their winter slumber. They jumped all over the Rays on Saturday to win 12-5, with homers from Ryan Howard, John Mayberry, Jr., and Miguel Cairo. Yesterday, they beat the Braves 7-3 for their second exhibition victory.
Saturday's game against the Rays was televised, the first one so far this spring. It was kind of weird to see Pat Burrell in another team's uniform, but it was nice to see him get such a warm welcome from the fans in Clearwater. Burrell got an ovation from the crowd before his first at-bat, and tipped his helmet to the fans. Good luck, Pat, with the Rays this year!
Also of note over the weekend was the signing of Adam Eaton to a minor-league deal by the Baltimore Orioles. I suppose I could say that the Orioles must be really, really desperate for pitching, but I'll refrain. On second thought, I guess I just said it after all.😉

Great pictures! And yes – snow here today also. I some pictures of my views today as well on my blog. I love wondering through flower shows. It smells SO good and it is always nice and warm!
Ah, I know one things my folks miss seeing since moving down to the Richmond area (Virginia that is0 back in 2000. The Philly Flower Show.
I have to say, I'm pretty jealous of the snow! I bet being a snowbird would be awesome. We're getting a cold front here in Florida tonight, it's going to get in the forties. I'll be cold, but I'm sure that's NOTHING to you. Always great to have some baseball incorporated into art. Scratch that, baseball IS art.
PS: As I was commenting on Mark's Latest Leaders. I noticed that you didn't know what a 'tweet' was.
Twitter is a site where you can basically update your status and let people know what's going on. A lot of people from the blogosphere are on it.
Here is the link: http://twitter.com/home
Hey I"m Orangebird writer of Up In Section 360, seen on Julia's linklist, please feel free to come over some time, it about the Orioles. great post by the way.
Man I hate snow. The past week or so I've been playing outside again and brushing up on my baseball skills and now this.
It's crazy how the east is getting hit with the snow and here in Colorado it was mid 70's today. Soon enough all around the country spring will be in full swing : )
Yay – FIXED IT! And gave you a shout out also! Oscar was the first Pitcher from Canada to make the All-Star Team, George was the first Positional Player from Canada to make the All-Star team. The book neglected to mention PITCHER in the question!
Really great pix, Sue. And when I saw the snow and read your comments, I remembered the day my husband and I looked out the window of our house in CT after a blizzard and said, "Let's go south." And we did. Best move we ever made.
I loathe the cold, too. My only goal in life is to live somewhere I can wear sandals all year! Great post!

How's it going everyone?
I'm a DJ/Composer based in London, UK.
I started DJing back in College, where I completed a 2yr Course in Music Technology.
I've always been into music for as long as I can remember - I spend most of my life with Music in the background; whether it be from soundcloud, radio, Video Games, or my own Compositions.
With that in mind, I would like to draw your attention to my Soundcloud page: www.soundcloud.com/deagobrowne
When College finished, I dabbled in other people's labs, but didn't actually acquire my own kit until April 2012 - when my dad hooked me up with current Desktop.
(I had a crappy laptop before then - Oldskool Sony VAIO with a busted battery - 3hr charge for 30mins or so in the lab... I got a lot of ideas down, but it wasn't powerful enough to hack the tracks...)
I worked on a Bootleg copy of Reason 5 until the end of Summer 2013 - when I was able to replace it with a legit copy of Reason 7 (Very happy to finally be legit).
My music sits somewhere between Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop and Drum n Bass.
It was once described as "2-Step Electronica" - which I think is pretty interesting..
I put a lot of emphasis on drum patterns - which, although complex, are usually described as quite minimal.
I specialized in Soundscapes back in college, and so I incorporate that into my music. (Movie steaze..)
All of the synths surrounding the drums serve to create a melodic atmosphere - with the drums themselves acting as a ship navigating the landscape.
I hit up audio samples that I slice from my movie collection from time to time - Kung fu, Porn, Whatever suits the track in that moment.
My compositions are quite emotional, and at times, quite intense - Each track is very personal.
I have a ton of tracks that aren't uploaded atm - I recently reached a new plateau, and so I'm bringing all of them to the same level as my most recent bits.
I also upload mixes every so often to www.Mixcloud.com/DigzFreeman, so if you're into your Journeyman Mixes, please don't hesitate to check 'em out ;-)
I would say that I specialise in 170+ BPM - I like to keep it Atmospheric, and intricate.
Storyteller Business.
I recently became a Resident DJ for www.reelrebelsradio.com - my next show is This Friday: 17-01-2014, from 19:00-21:00 GMT
I'm looking for a record label to organise Distribution for my Compositions, and I'm always up for a Decent DJ set.
I was a part of the Drum n Bass Scene from around 2007, but for one reason or another I didn't make it as far as I thought I could within it - I was a Resident for "Xpression DnB", span on www.rudefm.com for a bit, had a couple guest shows on other stations and a few guest appearances at events.
I also ran my own event for around 2yrs - " Keep Pushin' ".
Now, with all the recent "Changes", I've lost interest, so I'm trying to branch out.
I got into Stones Throw through Madlib's Music back in my teens.
You guys always come with something innovative, and I think if I could choose any label to be a part of at the moment, it would be this one - There seems to be a lot of History behind Stones Throw, and that's important to me.
Anyhoo - I think I've rambled on for long enough.

Metastatic pleural tumor is a type of cancer that has spread from another organ to the thin membrane (pleura) surrounding the lungs.
The blood and lymph systems can carry cancer cells to other organs in the body, where they can produce new growths or tumors. The spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body often occurs in patients who are dying of cancer.
Almost any type of cancer can spread to the lungs and involve the pleura.
Symptoms may include any of the following:
- Chest pain, especially when taking a deep breath
- Cough
- General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling (malaise)
- Shortness of breath
- Weight loss
Exams and Tests
The doctor or nurse will examine you and ask about your medical history and symptoms. Tests that may be done include:
- Chest x-ray
- CT scan of the chest
- Open pleural biopsy
- Pleural fluid analysis
- Pleural needle biopsy
- Removal of fluid from around the lungs (thoracentesis)
Pleural tumors usually cannot be removed with surgery. The original (primary) cancer should be treated. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be appropriate, depending on the type of primary cancer.
Your health care provider may recommend thoracentesis if you have a lot of fluid collecting around your lungs and you have shortness of breath or low blood oxygen levels. This procedure removes the fluid and allows the lung to expand more, making it easier to breathe.
To prevent the fluid from collecting again, medication may be placed directly into your chest space through a tube, called a catheter. Or, your surgeon may spray a medication or talc on the lung surface during the procedure. This helps seal the space around your lungs to prevent the fluid from returning.
Support Groups
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The 5-year survival rate (number of people who live for more than 5 years after diagnosis) is less than 25% for people with pleural tumors that have spread from other parts of the body.
Possible Complications
- Side effects of chemotherapy or radiation therapy
- Continued spread of the cancer
Early detection and treatment of primary cancers may prevent metastatic pleural tumors in some persons.
Alternative Names
Tumor - metastatic pleural
