There are an ever-growing number of reasons to run the Oracle database server on a Linux-based OS. The price factor is obvious, as OS licenses can really boost the total price of your multiple workstation or clustered (RAC) server installation. Then there's the stability factor, the possibility of total remote administration, the availability of platform source code, speed, flexible filesystem, the strong Unix legacy .... Heck, even Oracle itself runs its business on what they like to call Unbreakable Linux.
Red Hat's latest and greatest Linux distribution release comes with quite a few improvements, many of which are targeted at the needs of the workstation user. As new hardware owners become early adopters, this OS will surely dominate Linux developers' workstations in the months to come. Support for cutting-edge hardware and software technologies, easier maintenance via graphical configuration tools, polished office and productivity applications, a unified interface, development tools, and, of course, Red Hat's reputation will also make it the OS of choice for many Oracle developers. Unfortunately, unless the current version was certified, Oracle installation hardly ever ran smoothly on Red Hat Linux. Still, where there's a will, there's always a way. With a little help from this article, you will have your Oracle 9iR2 server running in no time on your new Red Hat 9 box. Let us begin.
First, you will need to create the Oracle installation and users and groups. Oracle installation needs two Unix user groups and one runtime Oracle user.
Log in as root and issue the following commands in a terminal:
[root@miniroko]# groupadd dba
[root@miniroko]# groupadd oinstall
[root@miniroko]# useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
[root@miniroko]# passwd oracle
The last command will prompt you to enter the password for your
oracle user. Make sure you remember it, because you will probably
need it as we go along.
Oracle recommends OFA, the Optimal Flexible Architecture directory structure for a deployment server, but on a development machine and for the sake of simplicity, we will install everything under /opt/ora9.
Just make sure you have at least 3.5GB available for a full installation including one database, and issue the following commands as root:
[root@miniroko]# mkdir -p /opt/ora9/product/9.2
[root@miniroko]# mkdir /var/opt/oracle
[root@miniroko]# chown oracle.dba /var/opt/oracle
[root@miniroko]# chown -R oracle.dba /opt/ora9
[root@miniroko]# chmod 755 /var/opt/oracle
You have now created Oracle runtime directories and granted write
privileges to user
oracle and execute privileges to group
You will need to install the following Red Hat backward-compatibility and software-development packages before we get further underway. All of these packages can be found on Red Hat installation CDs 1-3.
You can install these packages using Redhat's graphical package manager available in Start menu->System Settings->Add/Remove Applications, or from the command line, using:
rpm -Uvh <package_name>
package_name with each RPM listed above.
Important notice: A shrink-wrapped Red Hat 9 and the freely downloadable version do not contain the same
If your system contains a non-empty /lib/i686 directory, fetch the i686 packages. Otherwise, you may run into trouble with misplaced libraries. Where an i686 version of the package is not available, just use whatever is.
Once you have downloaded all of the packages, use the command line
rpm tool to upgrade:
% rpm -UVh package_name
Red Hat religiously sets some kernel parameters too conservatively. Check your hardware configuration and assign enough shared memory, open files, and ports, or you may run into trouble installing and running Oracle. Append these lines to /etc/sysctl.conf to set kernel parameters:
kernel.shmmax = 536870912
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
Append these lines to /etc/security/limits.conf to modify your resource limits:
oracle soft nofile 65536
oracle hard nofile 65536
oracle soft nproc 16384
oracle hard nproc 16384
Reboot the system so the kernel changes can take effect. If rebooting is not an option, you can change the kernel params at runtime by issuing:
[root@miniroko]# echo 250 32000 100 128 > /proc/sys/kernel/sem
[root@miniroko]# echo 536870912 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
[root@miniroko]# echo 4096 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmni
[root@miniroko]# echo 2097152 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmall
[root@miniroko]# echo 65536 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
[root@miniroko]# echo 1024 65000 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
For a full explanation of the
/proc filesystem and available
parameters, you might want to read Red Hat's Online Linux Manual.

oracle User Environment
Log in as the
oracle user:
% su - oracle
I will assume that you are using the default
bash shell for this user.
Setting environment variables in other shells may differ from this example, so
check your shell's manual page or set
bash as the
oracle user's shell. We will set
up Oracle basic environment (users, paths, locale) and some extra values needed
for Oracle to run correctly on Red Hat 9. Put the following lines at the end of
# oracle 9i
export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/ora9
export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/ora9/product/9.2
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin:$PATH
export ORACLE_OWNER=oracle
export ORACLE_SID=ora9i
export ORACLE_TERM=xterm
# Use old Linuxthreads with floating stacks instead of
# the new Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL)
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
export THREADS_FLAG=native
# Edit paths
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/opt/ora9/product/9.2/bin:$PATH
# change this NLS settings to suit your country:
# example:
# german_germany.we8iso8859p15, american_america.we8iso8859p2 etc.
export NLS_LANG='croatian_croatia.ee8iso8859p2'
If you are using other national settings for Oracle (these are Croatian),
consult the supported settings and change the
NLS_LANG variable accordingly.
The Red Hat 9 Linux kernel comes with the new Native POSIX Thread Library,
which causes Oracle installation to hang. By setting the
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL variable to an older kernel version, we are making Linux use the old Linuxthreads library. For more information about the difference between these threading methods, please consult the Red Hat 9 Release notes.
To install 9iR2 on Linux, Oracle recommends at least 512MB of RAM and at least 400MB of swap space. If you have less then 512MB of RAM and upgrading is not an option, you can resize your swap partition or create temporary swapping space. The later is a much more convenient option, as you will be needing this space only during the installation.
To set up a temporary Linux swap area, execute these lines as root:
% dd if=/dev/zero of=tmp_swap bs=1k count=900000
% chmod 600 tmp_swap
% mkswap tmp_swap
% swapon tmp_swap
After you finish installing, you can free this space:
% swapoff tmp_swap
% rm tmp_swap
Now that you have all the major obstacles out of the way, you can run
the installer. Please remember that the Oracle installer
must be run from X. You will need to allow the local
oracle user to write to your X display:
$ xhost +127.0.0.1
Do not change to your CD-ROM mount directory (e.g., /mnt/cdrom), because you will not be able to unmount the first CD to insert others when asked. Start the installer from your home directory using:
$ su - oracle
$ /mnt/cdrom/install/linux/runInstaller
We will not describe the installation process in detail, as Oracle provides
extensive documentation on that subject and it is way beyond the scope of this
article. It is pretty much self-explanatory, but if you run into trouble,
there's always a help button to assist you. If you need more help, check the
docs directory on the Oracle CDs, the online Oracle Documentation, or Oracle Linux Center. During the installation, Oracle will ask you to insert other disks. When asked, open up a new console, unmount the current disk with
umount /dev/cdrom (as root) and replace the disk. If Red Hat 9 does not mount
it automagically, mount it yourself with
mount /dev/cdrom and
choose to continue with the installation wizard.
As you go along, your installation may produce three different errors:
You may see an error dialog informing about problems with ins_oemagent.mk. Ignore this one; we will fix it in post installation.
Figure 1. ins_oemagent.mk errors
A dialog may inform you about an Error in invoking target install of
Figure 2.
makefile error
When this happens, open up a new X terminal and log in as the
oracle user. Execute the following commands:
[oracle@miniroko oracle]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/install
[oracle@miniroko install]$ tail make.log
You will see a line like this:
gcc -o ctxhx -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib/
-L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib/stubs/ /opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ctxhx.o
-L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ -lm -lsc_ca -lsc_fa -lsc_ex -lsc_da -lsc_ut
-lsc_ch -lsc_fi -lctxhx -lc -Wl,-rpath,/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib -lnls9
-lcore9 -lnls9 -lcore9 -lnls9 -lxml9 -lcore9 -lunls9 -lnls9
Figure 3. The make.log
Copy this line, add
-ldl at the end, and run it in
[oracle@miniroko]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
[oracle@miniroko bin]$ gcc -o ctxhx -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/
-L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib/ -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/lib/stubs/
/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/ctxhx.o -L/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib/
-lm -lsc_ca -lsc_fa -lsc_ex -lsc_da -lsc_ut -lsc_ch -lsc_fi -lctxhx -lc
-Wl,-rpath,/opt/ora9/product/9.2/ctx/lib -lnls9 -lcore9 -lnls9 -lcore9
-lnls9 -lxml9 -lcore9 -lunls9 -lnls9 -ldl
Now you have fixed the problem, so hit the ignore button on the dialog and the installation will continue.
Do not create a database at the end of the installation.
Not all things are operational at this point, and we still need to
perform some minor fixes. Click on Software only and continue. Don't
worry, you will be able to create your database later using
the Oracle database configuration assistant.
Figure 4. Do not create a database
Let's fix the issues Oracle had with ins_ctx.mk and starting
the agent. Open a new terminal and log in as the
oracle user.
Execute these lines:
[oracle@miniroko oracle]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/lib
[oracle@miniroko lib]$ make -f ins_net_client.mk install
Now edit the $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk file. Change lines 13-14 from:
ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ)
ctxhx: $(CTXHXOBJ)
$(LINK) -ldl $(CTXHXOBJ) $(INSO_LINK)
You are now ready to retry making:
[oracle@miniroko lib]$ make -f $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/ins_ctx.mk install
Voila, you now have a fully working installation of Oracle 9iR2 database
server. If you wish, you can now create your Oracle database using
svrmgrl is no longer supported by Oracle, so use
sqlplus for startup and shutdown operations. To start the

To integrate Oracle with Red Hat's SysV init process and make startup and
shutdown automatic, you can use Gurulab's Oracle9i RHL Run Package. I do not recommend Oracle's native scripts
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut, as they do not always work as
advertised and require some changes.
You now have a fully featured Oracle installation on your computer. Please remember that Oracle 9.2 is not certified for Red Hat 9, and that this combination is not endorsed in production and deployment environments. As a workstation, however, it is perfectly stable and usable.

Family struck by cancer
July 14, 2011
Dear W.C., Could you please help my family? We are having a real hard time. Last night we had very little food to share. My Dad has cancer. It is hard to watch him try to stay strong for me when he is so sick and in so much pain. He keeps telling me to not worry about him and things will get better soon. I overheard my parents talking last night and my Mom was crying. They were talking about what my Mom should do when he is gone. How can they talk about that? I don't know where else to turn for help. A Very Sad Son

A deserving family in need
January 20, 2011
Dear W.C., I know a family that is having a very hard time. I know they are late on their rent. They have two young children. The father lost his job last summer. The mother was hit by a hit-and-run driver and was left handicapped. They do not receive enough assistance from disability and unemployment. Due to all the medical bills and threats from the bill collectors they have been left broke. I have known this family for many years and know they are good people. They have always lived frugally and have a devout belief in God. They do not have gas for their car. I have offered to drive them on several occasions but they have declined. I think they are too embarrassed to accept any help. They have even declined my requests to visit due to their embarrassment of not being able to afford heat. I do not know how they are feeding everyone and keeping a roof over their heads. Please help this deserving family.

A troubled life after abuse
July 07, 2011
Dear W.C.,I am writing to see if you can help my granddaughter. She and her two children moved in with me several months ago after living out of state with her husband. Her husband was in the military and was seriously injured. He has permanent disabilities and had become abusive. He is angry at the world and she begged him to get help. When he became physically abusive and began to beat her, she knew it was time to leave. He does not want to even see his children. He does not pay any child support. My granddaughter is having such a hard time. She feels sorry for her ex-husband and knows the rest of his life will be a struggle. She has a big heart and life has not been easy for her. Could you please contact me to speak about this further?A Worried Grandmother

Caring for a special grandson
June 30, 2011
Thank you to everyone who has been contributing to our Lake Geneva Area Realty $40,000 Matching Grant. We are now half way to our goal with donations totaling over $20,000. Thank you for your caring and sharing to help our poverty stricken neighbors. Your support has allowed us to assist thirteen people with utilities to enable them to cook, have lights, run refrigerators and appliances, and allowed seniors and those with health problems to use both heat and air-conditioning. Your support has helped sixteen people to pay their rent and provided emergency shelter for a family at a local motel. We have also been able to provide food, household necessities, and toiletries for families and senior citizens. We have many people still waiting for assistance and look forward to being able to offer them the same helping hand as we progress with this matching grant. When we complete this matching grant we will have been able to relieve the pain and suffering for many of our fellow creations. Thank you for helping. God Bless you.

Coworker in need of desperate help
June 16, 2011
Dear W.C.,I am writing to ask for help for a coworker. She is a hard working woman in her late 50s. She waitresses five days a week and I know it is hard on her. She has had two operations and I see her in pain at times, yet she never complains. I have noticed her coming to work early to do her personal grooming. She tries to sneak in unnoticed and seems very embarrassed about it. Her only child died fifteen years ago in a car accident and she cares for her elderly mother. I know she is a truly good person and is really struggling to make ends meet. Her car is falling apart and there have been times I offered her a ride home due to it not starting. I do not know how she gets around when I am not there. Please help.

Eight years of caring, sharing
June 09, 2011
This column marks our eighth year of sharing our work with you, our readers, through a weekly newspaper column. We have covered many aspects of poverty, disability, illness, child abuse and neglect, spousal abuse, addiction, job loss, tragedy, etc. We have together cried with despair over the many problems that affect our society and economy. We have held the hands of senior citizens that no longer feel needed or treasured. We have offered assistance to many struggling parents and grandparents trying to raise children in a safe and healthy environment. We have shared with our handicapped neighbors the most basic needs to make their lives somewhat easier and accessible. There are many more fellow creations than you read about each week that The Time Is Now To Help has assisted. For each letter you read in the newspaper, there are approximately 10 more families, children, single parents, senior citizens, or disabled, we have helped due to your generous contributions to our cause. We are blessed to have caring and sharing individuals that offer a helping hand to our fellow Americans in desperate need. Thank you for your continued support of our mission to remove the pain and suffering of our fellow creations.

Lending a helping hand

Dear W.C.,Im writing you in behalf of an elderly woman who goes to our church. A neighbor of hers told us she needed help but could not help her. When I saw the elderly widow at church I asked her if she would mind talking to me. Church was about to start so I told her I would meet her afterwards. When we met I asked her if she needed any help. She looked at me puzzled and said no. I told her I was just trying to help. She just looked embarrassed, shook her head no, and walked away. When I caught up to her I noticed she was crying. She would not stop walking away and kept saying, No I am fine. Could you please check on her?Concerned Pastor

$40,000 matching grant helping
May 26, 2011
Several months ago I started receiving many new requests for assistance due to the same circumstances, the closure of Lake Lawn Resort. After 133 years, Lake Lawn Resort had closed and several hundred fellow creations lost their jobs. Due to the fact many of these jobs were low-paying, and the balance moderate paying, these families and individuals were surviving from paycheck to paycheck. Our fellow Americans found themselves cutting back on food, lowering their thermostat and struggling with their rent. Many could not make car payments, pay for medical care and prescriptions, or buy everyday necessities for their children.With our beloved country in a recession, many of our government assistance programs have extensive waiting lists. Due to the intense fear of becoming homeless, our desperate neighbors reached out to us through The Time Is Now To Help. I prayed over the numerous requests for help from the recession, and the closing of Lake Lawn. In my heart I knew Lake Lawn had to reopen. This was a monumental task, especially in a recession, so as I always do I turned to God.After praying for some time in the midst of a dark, snowy January evening, in walked Jim Drescher. I hadnt seen Jim for several weeks. Jim and his wife Ardith and numerous God loving volunteers had been busy with their WC Family Resource Center, feeding over 1,300 people a month. Surprised to see Jim walking in out of the snow I jumped up and hugged him. I told Jim about how the closure of Lake Lawn Resort, along with the ongoing recession, was adding to the desperate pains of poverty. Jim said, We are going to have to reopen Lake Lawn. Thinking of all our fellow creations that desperately needed help, I started to tear up. Knowing God was listening to this tall request from Jim, I knew at that moment God sent Jim to accomplish such a grand task.

Hope restored for young adult
May 19, 2011
Dear W.C.,I am feeling hopeless at 19 years old. I have been unable to find a job and support myself. I was in foster care for the last six years of my life. My father went to prison when I was 10 years old. My mother didnt bother to care for my sister and I after that. She drank heavily and neglected us. Soon her boyfriend was abusing us but she didnt seem to notice or care. I told my teacher at school how bad things were and we were taken away. The first foster home we went to was not much better than home. I was moved again and ended up with a decent family until I turned 18. I do not know where my younger sister is. As soon as I turned 18 I was released from the foster care system and on my own. I do not feel prepared at all to be an adult. I have no family or friends to turn to. My foster family is having financial and health problems and can no longer help me. I have nowhere else to turn. Please give me hope for a better future.

NHL thriving despite short season
NEW YORK Whatever damage was caused by the latest long NHL lockout, the league isnt feeling the fallout as it gets set to start this years playoffs.
With just a few days left in the shortened 48-game season, a look back shows that fans are still flocking to arenas and tuning in on TV sets.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman told a meeting of Associated Press Sports Editors on Friday that teams are filling up their buildings to 97.4 percent of capacity, and television ratings on a national level in the United States and Canada, as well as in local markets, are up considerably.
We may not have as large a fanbase as a couple of the other major league sports, but there are no more avid, passionate fans in all of sports than ours, Bettman said. We believe in the strength of our game.
He also has the numbers to prove it.
Bettman said some teams have reported ratings gains of double and triple digits this year. And that is just from a regular season that was delayed from October until January and was in jeopardy from happening at all until the NHL and the players association hammered out a new 10-year collective bargaining agreement to save it.
We dont take our fans for granted, Bettman said. Our fans are passionate about the game, they get angry when they have reasons to be angry, they are excited when they have reasons to be excited, they are emotional, but most of all they are well-informed. Overwhelmingly, fans understand what we need to do and what we have done.
They come back because they love the game. We are grateful on a daily basis for our fans.
Bettman said the best thing to come out of this lockout the second in nine seasons is that the new agreement with the players association is one that should ensure harmony for the better part of a decade.
Just because fans came back for a lockout-shortened season in 1995 and then returned after the NHL became the first major North American sports league to cancel an entire season when the 2004-05 campaign was wiped out, doesnt mean that will always be the case.
Taking a one-year hiatus in any business sports or otherwise is hardly a recipe for success, despite what the numbers show.
It doesnt mean there isnt a lot of work to be done, it doesnt mean that were not continuing to focus as a priority on issues such as player safety, but the business has been strong this season, Bettman said. We continue to believe that we are in for continued growth.
With a shortened season in which every game seemed to have meaning and an impact on the playoff races, the upcoming postseason will likely have more of the unpredictability of past seasons such as last season when the Los Angeles Kings went from the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference to Stanley Cup champions.
However, Bettman doesnt buy the notion that this season was unique or more exciting because of fewer games.
Competitively, this was fairly typical for us, particularly down the stretch run, he said. Was there some pent up demand? Yes, but I like our 82-game regular season and I dont advocate the business model we had to use this year.
As of Friday, the eight playoff teams in the Eastern Conference had already been determined, and six of eight were settled out West. Those final two teams and all eight first-round matchups were left to be decided over the weekend, with Sundays lone game Ottawa at Boston potentially holding the last piece of the puzzle.
We think thats phenomenal, Bettman said. Thats why our first round is off the charts in terms of being compelling, grueling, entertaining, exciting. Our competitive balance, we think is the best in sports certainly the best we have ever had but I dont think anything compares to it.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md.

What is in this article?:
- U.S. fresh-market vegetable acreage up slightly
- Yields could be better
- Prospective vegetable area was up for just four of the 11 crops with the greatest percentage gains for carrots and tomatoes, according to the latest USDA Melons and Vegetables Outlook.
More About:
Producers of U.S. fresh-market vegetables are expected to harvest 193,680 acres this spring, up 1 percent over the previous growing season.
Prospective area was up for just four of the 11 crops with the greatest percentage gains for carrots and tomatoes, according to the latest USDA Melons and Vegetables Outlook.
In California, periods of cool, wet weather slowed planting progress, crop maturity, and reduced the average size of early spring crops such as lettuce and cauliflower. With an above-average snowpack again this year and above-average rainfall in some areas of central California, the drought in California has eased considerably with Central Valley irrigation water supplies much improved. Both federal and state water allocations have been increased this year, which could reduce costs, increase yields, and allow more area to be planted.
In Florida, growers expect to harvest 38 percent of U.S. spring area for the 11 selected crops. Florida's area is expected to rise 3 percent from a year ago due to increased area for cabbage, sweet corn, tomatoes and snap beans.
Florida growers expect to harvest fewer acres of cucumbers and bell peppers — crops which collectively account for about one-fifth of the state's reported spring vegetable area.
Area for sweet corn, which accounts for about 40 percent of the reported spring vegetable area, is expected to rise 5 percent to 29,000 acres — the largest area devoted to spring sweet corn since 1997.
The increase in sweet corn area reflects strong prices this past winter (for the few that had product to sell) and generally favorable returns last spring.
Also this year, area planted to all fresh bulb onions is forecast to rise 2 percent to 158,860 acres. Most of the gain is expected to come from the spring season where high prices last year encouraged a 16-percent surge in area.
Planted area is expected to decline in summer non-storage onion states and remain about even in states that produce storage onions.
Area was forecast to be larger in all three reporting spring onion states with both Texas and Georgia each expected to harvest the most area since 2006. Prior to this year, spring onion area in Texas had declined for four consecutive years.

Illinois Race to the Top
State Programs and Projects Overview
Illinois is implementing 16 state initiatives order to ensure Participating Districts will be well positioned and prepared to offer all students a top-notch education that will prepare them for success in college, career, and in life in the 21st century. One of ISBE's primary goals through RttT is to support the leading 32 Participating Districts that will build the systems and processes needed to accelerate and sustain improved student outcomes and building capacity to extend these reforms statewide. Race to the Top funding is being used to bolster Illinois' ongoing work on projects and programs in the following areas:
- Adopting more rigorous standards and assessments
- Recruiting, evaluating, and retaining highly effective teachers and principals
- Building data systems that measure student success
- Building state capacity and supports
Visit the ISBE Hot Topic page for the most up-to-date information on these subjects.
Standards and Assessments
Local Assessment Strategy (LAS) SupportsA Local Assessment Support (LAS) management entity will be selected to work with ISBE and the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) to make commercial assessments available to districts to support the measurement of student growth for performance evaluations. In addition, the management entity will work with ISBE and teachers to develop local assessment resources that will be made available through a shared resources bank.
P-20 Programs of Study (POS) and STEM Learning ExchangesP-20 Programs of Study (POS) serve as a vehicle for improving academic achievement, increasing graduation rates, and improving transitions to postsecondary education and employment. STEM Learning Exchanges are a new innovative public-private partnerships that include students and representatives from various educational institutions, research centers, business and industry leaders, labor and professional organizations, state governmental agencies, and community partners statewide organized to support local implementation of P-20 STEM Programs of Study.
The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and Illinois Pathways Interagency Committee (IPIC), a committee created to implement educational reform initiatives that support structured pathways related to students' academic and career interests, work closely in administering all aspects of STEM Learning Exchange planning and implementation. Read more about Programs of Study and STEM Learning Exchanges.
Pathways Resource Center (PRC)The Pathways Resource Center (PRC) serves as a centralized resource and assistance center for both the STEM Learning Exchanges and school districts establishing P-20 STEM Programs of Study (POS). The PRC provides services including coordinating applications and funding proposals for federal and foundation resources and statewide technical assistance and training in implementing STEM POS. Read more about the Illinois Pathways Initiative.
College and Career Readiness (CCR) ProgramThe College and Career Readiness (CCR) program is designed to increase alignment between high school and college curriculums and support student pathways from high school to postsecondary education. Seven colleges and Participating LEAs with students that feed into those colleges will participate in the CCR program.
Great Teachers and Principals
Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA) Pre-qualification Program and SupportsIn January 2012, the Illinois General Assembly passed the Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA), which requires all teacher and principal evaluation systems to include student growth as a significant factor in evaluations. The PERA Pre-qualification and Training Program must be completed by individuals who conduct evaluations of teachers, principals, or assistant principals. Learn more about the Pre-qualification Program.
Survey of Learning ConditionsA state-adopted survey of learning conditions has been implemented across the state, as mandated under the Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA) legislation. The first implementation was in February and March of 2013. The survey provides feedback from, at minimum, students in grades 6 through 12 and teachers on the instructional environment within the schools. Read more about the survey. See Illinois school success stories.
Performance Evaluation Advisory Council (PEAC) Supports for Accelerated PERA ImplementationA PEAC Support entity is working with the PEAC subcommittees to facilitate the development of recommendations for the teacher evaluation system's components and framework for ongoing implementation.
Redesign of teacher preparation programs to create a pipeline of highly effective teachers to serve the state's neediest schoolsIncentives will be provided to develop new teacher preparation programs that are in alignment with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Illinois Shared Learning Environment (ISLE). This project also aims to establish partnerships with Participating LEAs to support placements of teachers with extensive training on CCSS in High Poverty High Minority (HPHM) schools.
Induction and Mentoring SupportsTailored technical assistance will be provided to Participating LEAs on individual teacher and principal induction programs and the use of formative assessments related to evaluations. In addition, data will be collected and analyzed to determine the initial effect of these programs on teacher effectiveness, teacher retention, student achievement, and teacher efficacy. A process will also be developed to collect and disseminate information about best practices. Read more about Preparation and Education.
Data Systems that Measure Student Success
Participating LEA Integration with the Illinois Shared Learning Environment (ISLE)Student data will be linked across instructional systems via ISLE, allowing educators to create integrated learner profiles that can support learning plans and other personalized learning tools. ISBE will create a professional development training plan for ISLE's implementation and use.
Establishment of the Illinois Collaborative for Education Policy Research (ICEPR)ICEPR's functional responsibilities include recruiting researchers and coordinating their work across multiple institutions; facilitating data sharing arrangements with LEAs and easing administrative demands of research projects; communicating research findings in a way that informs ongoing practice, policy development, and innovative program implementation; and seeking and securing external funding for projects.
Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA) Research-based StudyPassed by the Illinois General Assembly in January 2012, the Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA) requires all teacher and principal evaluation systems to include student growth as a significant factor in evaluations. The PERA Research-based study will be designed and conducted to determine the validity, reliability, and effectiveness of the reformed educator evaluation system. Results from this study will be used to inform recommendations and system improvements to ISBE.
Building State Capacity and Supports
Build the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) capacity to facilitate and monitor State RttT projects and progress of Participating LEAsA Race to the Top Leadership and Implementation Team has been established to monitor the status of RttT projects at the state and district level. The Team supports and monitors Participating LEAs' progress towards completing RttT expectations.
Center for School Improvement (CSI)The Center will provide supports to Participating LEAs in the implementation of the RttT Expectations, including Common Core State Standards (CCSS), curriculum alignment, improvement of instructional practices, support through the Rising Star continuous improvement process, and professional development and training on how to effectively utilize the Illinois Shared Learning Environment (ISLE). See Illinois school success stories.
Redesign of the State Report CardISBE, in consultation with the P-20 Council and the Illinois Interactive Report Card (IIRC) at Northern Illinois University, will propose a new design of the School Report Card that will meet the requirements of the Performance Evaluation Reform Act (PERA) legislation. Once completed, the redesigned State Report Card will be introduced to Participating LEAs.
Support Participating districts and Build Regional CapacityISBE provides intentional, targeted support for Participating Districts and engage in more activities to leverage the successes and challenges of Participating LEAs for a statewide audience. By actively engaging regional entities in this project, the state is working to build its regional capacity, which will allow for more targeted support to individual LEAs and will ensure non-participating LEAs will have access to support post-RttT.

Protandim: Another Kind of Antioxidant
Four years ago I received an e-mail inquiry about Protandim. I had never heard of it; but I looked it up and wrote a quick, informal, somewhat snarky answer that got posted on the Internet. It got a lot of attention. Googling for Protandim now brings up my critique right after the Protandim website itself: that can't be good for sales. Over the years, several e-mails and blog comments have informed me that I was wrong (usually offering testimonials or calling me closed-minded), and recently I've been getting inquiries asking if I've changed my mind now that a clinical study has been published. I haven't.
Instead of providing antioxidants directly, Protandim is supposed to stimulate the body to produce its own antioxidants. The website tells us it is "the only supplement clinically proven to reduce oxidative stress by 40%, slowing down the rate of cell aging to the level of a 20 year old." It provides "thousands of times more antioxidant power than any food or conventional antioxidant supplement." It signals the body's genes to produce the enzymes SOD (superoxide dismutase) and CAT (catalase) that act as catalysts to neutralize free radicals and are not "used up" like ingested antioxidants are. It "creates a cascade of your body's natural catalytic antioxidants that are able to destroy millions of free radicals per second." It raises the level of glutathione by 300%. Glutathione is good, apparently.
What is Protandim? It's a combination of Milk thistle, Bacopa extract, Ashwagandha, Green tea extract, and Turmeric extract. I looked these up in the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database. None of them is known to have any significant clinical benefit from antioxidant effects. Some of them are listed as "not enough information" to know if they are safe. One has estrogenic properties and more than one has known side effects and potential interactions with other drugs. The only one that even sounds remotely like it might have some pertinent data behind it is green tea. Green tea contains antioxidant catechins that are "thought to possibly have a protective effect against atherosclerosis and heart disease" and contains flavonoids that "might reduce lipoprotein oxidation; however benefits have not yet been described in humans."
A Pubmed search for "Protandim" yielded only 3 studies: One in mice, one in cell cultures and one in humans. (more…)

Expiration Date:?Jul 2018Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.5 lbs (0.23 kg)Shipping WeightThe Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine), a compound native to the body, is a critical component of many biochemical reactions, including those that affect brain biochemistry and joint health. SAMe is critical for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, is important for energy production in the brain, contributes to the maintenance of healthy cell membrane function, and influences cartilage metabolism. NOW SAMe is enteric-coated, which makes it very well tolerated and protects it from degradation.
Suggested Use
As a dietary supplement, take 1 tablet 2 to 4 times daily, preferably on an empty stomach.
Refrigeration recommended after opening.
Other Ingredients
Cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate (vegetable source), stearic acid (vegetable source), silica, ascorbic acid, citric acid and enteric coating (cellulose, triethyl citrate, menthacrylic acid).
Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens.
Do not eat freshness packet. Keep in bottle.
Caution: For adults only. Individuals with bipolar (manic) depression and those with anxiety disorders should not take SAMe unless under professional medical supervision. Consult physician if pregnant/nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.
|Supplement Facts
|Serving Size: 1 Tablet
|Amount Per Serving
|SAMe (S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine) (from 200 mg of S-Adenosyl-L-Methionone Disulfate
|100 mg
|* Daily Value not established.
I find this strength of SAM-e to be very helpful for my CFS. All the tablets are enteric coated and aren't too strong. More gentle than over powering. Seems to helps clear the head of brain fog too.
Sam-e has been nothing but a blessing for my entire family, including my parents who are in their 70's. I take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. My world goes from bleak to hopeful on Sam-e. It is important to refrigerate it if it is not in blister packs. It does not help with my anxiety so I take 200mg L-theanine for that and it works wonders.

Relaxed feeling from being on them for three weeks.
Posted by 5089671050960157615 on Feb 13, 2016
Relaxed feeling felt from SAMe. I have built up each week the dose and am now on 300mg. Highly recommend. In the last couple of days I have introduced AMINO ACID therapy for me which includes this along with SOLGAR bottles of GABA, L-Tyrosine, 5HTP, DLPA. In total four bottles from SOLGAR for my AMINO ACID therapy for CHRONIC MIGRAINES with visual and sensory aura. They work on my brain. Really liking the relaxed feeling I feel on all of these including the SAMe. Like knowing I am doing all I can for my brain naturally, to relax and prevent migraine. Five stars.

UH Tennis vs. Arkansas-Little Rock
Professor David Rosner (Columbia University) will discuss the shifting model of public health from prevention to harm reduction, using lead poisoning research as an example. Summary: Based on his new book, Lead Wars: The Politics of Science and the Fate of America's Children (University of California Press, 2013), David Rosner explores the controversy over research at the Kennedy Krieger Institute at John's Hopkins where researchers were accused of engaging in unethical, even racist, research. It will discuss the shifting model of public health from prevention to harm reduction (arguably a form of denialism when applied to environmental policy). The questions posed by the KKI case, as well as advances in environmental science documenting the long term effects of low-level toxins, will hopefully encourage a broader discussion about the relationship of science and society, science and industry, research and patients' rights, and what might be called the conundrum of public health. This discussion will use lead poisoning research to explore the numerous dilemmas public health must face today as it tries to develop prevention strategies for emerging chronic illnesses linked to low levels of toxic exposure.

Swimming holes have high bacteriaJuly 26,2014Swimming holes
have high bacteria
BRATTLEBORO Officials say high bacteria levels in some southeast Vermont swimming holes could be attributed to heavy rainfall.
Hi E. coli levels were found last week in 15 bodies of water in tests conducted by the Southeastern Vermont Watershed Alliance. The Brattleboro Reformer reported that the bodies of water were connected to the West, Rock, Williams, Middle Branch Williams and Saxtons rivers and the North Branch and Whetstone brooks.
The report said the elevated bacteria levels are often the result of heavy rainfall prior to test samples being taken. Similar findings were found after heavy rain in mid-June.
Group president Gloria Cristelli said E. coli are typically elevated after a rainstorm because animal waste is washed off the sides of a river and into the water.MORE IN This Just InNEWBURY Police said somebody stole booze and change from a Welch Road residence.

The steepest ascent
Tri-Valley's Katlynn Greffrath scores two of her game-high 22 points in the Lady Bears 72-33 win over Eldred. T-V hosted S.S. Seward on February 25 looking to advance to the finals. After the Eldred game, Greffrath needed just 19 points to reach the 1,000 point career milestone. The Lady Bears remained undefeated and entered the tourney as the number-three-ranked Class C team in the state.

SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — Far below this high plateau of the winter basketball season lie the foothills where it all began. And along the steady rise of the trail that began with the start of the season are teams that fell by the wayside lacking what was needed to climb higher. But for those few teams who made it to the sectionals, from which only one boys and girls team can emerge as champion in each class, this final local ascent, namely the Section IX tournament, is the steepest and most arduous to date.

Sherwood Shelter Hours
Tues-Fri 12 - 7 pm
Sat-Sun 12 - 6 pm
Closed Monday
Directions »
In the dead of night (or the wee hours of the morning of April 9), a pipe burst causing flooding all over the cat–only shelter. Over sixty percent of our shelter was damaged in some way by the water.
While we repaired essentials like flooring and walls, we seized the opportunity to update key service areas of the shelter. This included improvements to the veterinary hospital, our foster intake area known as Kitten Headquarters, and our "meet and greet" rooms.
When shelter staff arrived in the early morning of April 9, a half-inch of water was found all over the main adoption area (upstairs), cat hospital, offices, and the kitten headquarters (non-public area for CAT's foster program).
Kizmin, the lucky black kitty allowed to spend the night in the spacious get acquainted room (a common practice to allow some cats more space to roam overnight), probably didn't consider herself so lucky in the end. With a half-inch of water on the floor, she sought refuge overnight on the highest ground offered, a chair. When shelter staff retrieved her, she pitifully meowed protests at being stranded in an ocean of water (still a half inch but from a cat's perspective….).
None of the cats were harmed nor received an unexpected shower as the water poured in overnight.
Throughout the repair process, we've made huge adjustments to how we operate. At one point, all the cats from our main adoption area upstairs were moved, temporarily, downstairs as flooring and other repairs prohibited staff and the public access to that area.
No sooner did we move the cats back upstairs, we closed down access to the main lobby entrance of the building. Clients were directed around the corner of the building to a side door. The crazy path staff and volunteers had to take just to get from one side the building to another was almost comical. Yet we were still able to do business, spay/neuter cats, and find homes for those in our care.
Check out all the photos.
Water is very damaging. Thankfully, the areas most damaged were nonpublic areas and away from the main adoption rooms. However, the repairs disrupted our normal business routine quite a bit for three months.
Drying out the walls
Servpro of Tigard/Tualatin spent the better part of two weeks working to dry out the walls, find damaged areas, and remove the most damaged walling and flooring in the hospital, isolation rooms, and kitten intake area.
We had more fans around the building those weeks than people. Plastic encased doors, walls, and flooring as warm air was pumped in.
Walls in Kitten Headquarters, utility rooms, bathrooms, and some offices were torn down to studs.
New flooring
Downstairs, 14-year-old flooring and carpet that once was under our feet, was replaced with higher quality, easier to clean and sanitize flooring throughout the entire shelter.
Gone is the black and white checkered tile in the kitten adoption room. It was starting to look more grey and dark grey due to wear and tear.
We struggled to keep the downstairs carpet ultra clean. Carpet is a wonderful breeding ground for nasties and yukies and is very hard to completely sanitize. We did not "allow" cats to roam downstairs for that reason.
Fresh coat of paint
You know how nice your home looks when you slap a fresh coat of paint on the walls. That's how CAT feels now. We were able to paint almost every wall in the building. Now they are clean and bright.
We repaired holes and gouges in the walls at the same time. And soon, we'll be hanging up some kitty art.
Hospital changes
One of the biggest changes and improvements the public will probably never get to see happened in the hospital. Our 10-year-old feline hospital not only got new flooring and clean painted walls, but a few more square feet of workable space were added.
An awkward hallway was removed and unused access doors walled in. Then we moved our pharmacy and work station into the void that was the hallway. Viola, more room. With the addition of another wet / exam table, the space is more efficient.
CAT's hospital staff is grateful to be back in our veterinary space. We want to thank Multnomah County Animal Services for loaning us their Spay Station. Without that mobile vet clinic, we would have shut down most, if not, of all our medical services. Using the Spay Station, we were able to keep our shelter cats healthy AND continue to offer low-cost spay/neuter services for publicly owned cats.
Thank you to Nestle Purina Petcare Company for donating $50,000 to our relief fund.
Thank you to Petco Foundation for donating $38,000 towards repairs to the shelter no covered by insurance.
CAT wants to give a huge shout out of appreciation to all our shelter partners who stepped up with help, support, or just an ear to hear our plight. A huge thank you goes to our staff and volunteers who are being so flexible with the changes while still giving the cats top notch care. And thank you for your well wishes, donations, and caring.

I wanted to share this but not sure where it fits. My ds had real dry skin on his cheek. I tried ointments and lotions with no success. So...I put some breastmilk on it twice and.....smooth healthy skin again. Anyone have any similar stories??

June 29, 2007 First day of motherhood to my son.
yep, I have had a cut in my nose for a month that just WOULD NOT HEAL.
I tried zinc cream, polysporin, alchohol, peroxide...
Finally two nights I got desperate and soaked a tissue in BM. Its almost healed now.
Mama to JerBear, the rough and tumble kid, 18 months.
All done nursing, all done pumping. Raising a toddler with food aversions and doing my best to deal with three painful conditions!
Whenever my son scratches his face (and he does it a lot for some reason), I put some BM on it and it heals pretty quick without leaving scars.
Apparently bm does that to warts too!
First time mommy of Robert Nicolas, now 9 whole months(), and loving it!
My dr. told us to use it on cuts or scratches. I guess we could use it on ourselves too!

Mama to Daniel (12/3/06) and Lucy Jane (8/28/08)
I have never heard of this... would it do anything for a zit? My lo has a HUGE zit on her cheek... and it looks terrible!
This is great! Thanks for sharing!
My LO has superdry patches on his face, I'm trying this tonight!
My 3 year old has eczema and I pump milk to rub over her dry patches. Works better than any cream we've ever used on her INCLUDING precrips. When my daughter had a severe allergic reaction recently and was super itchy she asked me to "put mommy milk on it like you do for sissy" Thinking it wouldn't help but would give her some peace of mind I did it and it DID help her with her itchyness. Of course she still had to go on antibiotics to control the allergic reaction but overall it did still help her skin.
That is so intresting... I'm going to try this as well. My DS has a really bad dry spot on his face as well.

The 1961 Topps baseball set might not be the toughest mainstream Topps set of the 1960s, but it certainly is one of the more popular ones. Filled with an array of stars, including great specialty cards, the 1961 Topps offering is very appealing. The Roger Maris #2 and Mickey Mantle #300 card are the keys to the set, as expected, but there are also many other interesting cards that reside in the set. A high-numbered All-Star subset, containing many of the era's stars, is one of the attractive features along with a very tough MVP series that is located in the late-400's. Other specialty cards like World Series Highlights, combo cards and even cards featuring career highlights from the likes of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig are also included. The cards numbered 523-589 are very tough and various Short Printed cards are scattered throughout the set. Key rookies like that of Hall of Famers Billy Williams and Juan Marichal are also important. Perhaps the most noteworthy condition obstacle is the existence of print "snow" in the dark backgrounds of the cards. All in all, this set is very desirable. To read an in-depth article, click here.

After waiting 42 weeks, gaining 30 pounds and embarking on 98 runs into the wilderness, my second baby was born — a girl, weighing 7 pounds, 9 ounces.
She was healthy, beautiful and pink as soon as she entered the world. Her cries quieted as she lay on my chest and in that moment all the waiting and work were more than worth it.
Three months later, I'm back working and trying to find time between motherhood, babyhood and a career to squeeze in moments for me.

UPDATE: In only a few days, this trail has gone from do-able to downright amazing! It's true. A run up the trail on Friday, May 10 found a pathway almost completely devoid of snow (yeah a little squishy in spots).
With the return of the rain, this outing may be a great choice for those looking to stay off the snow and out of the mud.
Under the canopy of the Southeast rainforest, the torrential downpour was nothing more than a mist. Through the trees, the rain could be seen falling sideways, as it was battered downward by the wind.

"Let thy food by thy medicine." - Hippocrates.
This statement has been my mantra.
In our household its importance is heightened by a multitude of factors; but frankly, it truly is a matter of life or death.
It sounds that way, doesn't it? But it's not at all different than the messages nutritionists, doctors and scientists have been touting for years - eat right and thrive.
Sounds simple.

I fiddled with the touch buttons on the screen of my iPhone, navigating into the depths of my running log. I had to know. Perhaps seeing my mileage tally would be a motivator; perhaps I was subconsciously plotting my own defeat.It has become habit, you see (I blame my days of competitive skiing and running) to log every footfall, every minute and mile spent exercising. I examine the run times, the mile averages, my pace, the terrain and route. Most times, doing so acts as inspiration. But lately, I've been afraid to look.

"Mommy! I'm a good hiker, aren't I?"
His little Bogs boots crunched across the snow-covered, frozen boardwalk. Every few feet my son would pause to stomp an ice ball, peer into a dark hole or swipe his mitten through a tuft of downy snow before plopping it promptly on his tounge.
"Of course your are," I said. "You can be my hiking buddy any day."

My feet sloshed and squished around in my shoes like they were in a washing machine. The lower half of my legs seemed to disappear into the trail as thick, black mud coated every trace of skin beneath.
Somehow, my son had avoided the wretched mud holes. He bounded along, over logs and carefully snuck past wide leaves of devil's club.
"The prickly parts," as he called them, were "not nice."

When the sun comes out in Juneau, there's reason to celebrate.
Rain boots are replaced with flip-flops. GorTex is swapped for cotton. And skin, which is regularly covered by long sleeves, slacks and scarves, is exposed in all its pasty pale perfection.
(At least, that's how it is if you're fair-skinned and Scotch-Irish, like myself.)
It's not until a day or so later, that the regret sets in.
Pasty pale is replaced by tender pink. And while the rains return, the sun's heat lingers in the form of a pesky sunburn.

The clouds lifted briefly this week to reveal a downy white dusting of snow on the peaks above Lemon Creek.
My husband, absolutely ecstatic about the sighting, called me to share the news. Talk of the fresh snow percolated through town and our paper's photographer, Michael Penn, was even asked to snap a photo of the tell-tale sign of winter's impending arrival.

I have a confession to make: I have not been fishing.
I've been skiing, I've been running, hiking and gardening, but no, I have not been fishing.
My trusty fly rod — "Joan" — sits neatly in the rod holder in a corner of our dusty garage. My waders and boots are coated in last year's mud and bug repellent; the smell of deet puts my mind at the river's edge.
But in my mind is as close as I've gotten this season to the water and, well, that's just not acceptable.
It's time for a change.

On Friday, I found myself surrounded by volumes of bound Daily Alaska Empire newspapers from 1929. The old editions of the Empire were tattered, at best. Some were held together by fragile strands of aging duct tape, others were only a shadow of their former selves as newsprint fell from the spine and pages snapped like twigs when I tried to turn them.
It's hard to say how long it had been since someone had flipped through the volume before me — years certainly, possibly decades, maybe even half a century.

John and Thomas Showler – Aylesbury Buckinghamshire – Cousin Convicts
Last week I visited the NSW State Records at Kingswood and one thing I wanted to check was the Ticket of Leave & Certificate of Freedom for John Showler & Thomas Showler, who were convicts that arrived in 1828 and 1831 respectively. On the convict indent, Thomas indicates that he had a cousin John already in the colony. From my previous post back at the end of November last year, I wrote that I thought that maybe John Showler was possibly my ancestor John Shoulders. Even though I haven't been able to find any positive proof as yet, I do think that John Showler is John Shoulders, despite the apparent age difference, they were both from Aylesbury Buckinghamshire and secondly John Showler has also been found in some records as John Shoulder. Thomas Showler is also listed on his ticket of leave as being Thomas Shoulders.
Summary of information about John Showler/Shoulders
John Shoulders who married Mary Ryan in 1851, was 40 in 1856 and born at Aylesbury Buckinghamshire. This makes his birth year to be 1816
John Showler age at trial in January 1828, is listed as 21. But on his arrival he is listed as being only 20, making his birth year to be 1807 or 1808
John Shoulder listed on the NSW Gaol description Entrance Books (1818-1930) – Admitted to Stone Quarry 8th January 1835 and disposed 4th May 1835
John Showler – Countess of Harcourt 1828 40/0846 15 May 1840 Certificate of Freedom [4/4358; Reel 1006] TL 33/758
John Showler – Countess of Harcourt 1828 33/758 Ticket of Leave [4/4090; Reel 920] District: Inverary; Tried: Bucks QS
John Shoulders – died in May 1858 at Hernani, near Armidale NSW.
The Certificate of Freedom for John Showler is as follows:
Ref: 40/486
Date: 15/05/1840
Master: Harrison
Ship: Countess of Harcourt
Year: 1828
Date of Trial: 15/06/1828

Complexion: Ruddy & Freckled
Hair: Sandy
Eyes: Hazel
General: Small Scar left eye, two scars left, IS SH bleeding heart, 1828, wreath hope & anchor on left arm. Man, Woman, Mermaid, SH on right arm.
I wonder what the IS, SH mean? Were they initials of his parents perhaps or someone else? Thomas also had letters on both his arms, having WICSRTS & EIHPY on his right arm. On his left arm he had a name L Hawkins. Could they be clues to other family members?
Summary of information about Thomas Showler
There appears to be no marriage for Thomas Showler (or variant spellings) in the NSW indexes.
There are two recorded deaths for 'Thomas Showler's, one in 1860 at Cooma and the other in 1897 at Liverpool. From the NSW State Records index, we can see that the Thomas Showler who died in 1897, died at the Liverpool Asylum.
Thomas Showler – Georgiana 1831 38/1157 Ticket of Leave [4/4121; Reel 930] District: Goulburn; Born: Bucks; Trade: Ploughs; Tried: Bucks QS
Thomas Showler is listed on his Ticket of Leave Passport in 1843 as 'Thomas Shoulders'. (SHOULDERS Thomas – Georgiana 1831 43/314 21 Mar 1843 Ticket of Leave Passport [4/4249; Reel 971]
Thomas Showler – Georgiana 1831 49/0225 11 May 1849 Certificate of Freedom [4/4412; Reel 1026] TL 39/1157

Baptisms Records – Buckinghamshire
Looking at the baptism records for Buckinghamshire, I found the following 'POSSIBLE' baptisms for John Shouler/Shoulders.
23 Dec 1804 John born 26 Nov 1804 son of James & Esther SHOWLER – Aylesbury Buckinghamshire
27 May 1810 John son of Samuel & Ann SHOULER – Padbury Buckinghamshire
1 Jan 1815 John Samuel born 31 Dec 1814 son of John & Mary SHOULER – Whaddon Buckinghamshire
I suspect that the first one in 1804 might be the most likely one considering that this is the only baptism for a John being born in Aylesbury between 1804 & 1816. I cannot be sure if this is the correct one, unless I find some other information on who John's parents were.
Looking at baptism records, for Thomas Showler, I note the following possibilities.
1 Oct 1797 Thomas born 18 Jun 1797 son of Thomas & Maria SHOWLER – Ayelsbury Buckinghamshire
23 Feb 1798 Thomas born 8 Feb 1798 son of William & Elizabeth SHOWLER – Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire

Do check that they aren't decended from Sir Cloudesley Shovell (admiral) There seem to be many variants of his name. I am trying to find connections to him which I have been told exist.My family lived in Whaddon for several 100 yrs from 1554 Janet Wyatt
June Boyce
8th July, 2011
I have Showler in my family tree in Aylesbury. I have the Aylesbury parish registers on CD and I found a marriage for James Showler and Esther Porter 23rd May 1803 by banns. This would fit one of your possible John Showler baptisms.

Andy "Putt Putt" Pate, thank you for the article on Aug. 1, in the Refugio County Press, concerning the Bobcat football history.
I really enjoyed the article and bet that lots of other folks and fans in Refugio did too. Football games between rivals seem to always create an abundance of excitement and expectations for the players, coaches and fans for both teams and perhaps none more than the games between the Bobcats and Beeville Trojans.
And, as you point out, history and motivation are a big part of these games as well.
The 1931 and 1946 Bobcat losses to the Trojans are important in the history between these rivals, but it is also important to remember the 1954 game which was won by the Bobcats 27-0.
The Trojans were picked to win state that year and outweighed the Bobcats by an average of 20 pounds per player. The Trojans were a big and talented team but thanks to the great scouting reports compiled by then line coach Dave McCoy, the Bobcats were well prepared and motivated for the game.
This game has been referred to the perfect game in that the Trojans were shut out and did not make a single first down.
The Bobcats who played both offense and defense in this game included Jasper Gonzales, Edward Clarkson, Phillip Young, Reymundo (Mundo) Rocha, Gale Oliver, Joe (Rod) Rodriguez, David Jaso, and Jimmy Roberts, while Marcus Edwards, Buzzy Murphy and Jimmy Williams played offense and Mickey Wilson and Buster Wallace played defense.
All of these Bobcats were pretty good players, but the main stand outs were the line anchor man (center) Reymundo (Mundo} Rocha, Gale Oliver, Jasper Gonzales, and Phillip Young.
These fine players blocked and opened up a bunch of holes for Jimmy Roberts, Jimmy Williams and myself to run through.
Although our offensive and defensive line players were smaller than that of the Trojans, they still controlled the line of scrimmage play throughout the entire game.
This was a fun game and a rival game not to forget. This could very well be the only Bobcat game where the opposing team was shut out and did not make a first down.
I am excited for the 2013 Bobcat players and coaches and hope to see them play again this year, especially during the playoffs. I am sure that the coaching staff will, as they have done in the past, prepare, motivate and keep the Bobcats focused.
Putt Putt, it was nice to see you at the game last year and hopefully will see each other again in the fall. Take care and keep the pipelines open and running. Best wishes to the Bobcats and coaching staff.

Penn Researchers Receive $7.5 Million Grant Renewal to Study Esophageal Cancer
PHILADELPHIA - Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine will receive $7.5 million over the next five years from the National Cancer Institute to find new ways to treat esophageal cancer, in addition to traditional chemoradiation. This grant is a renewal of a Program Project funded over the last five years.
"This new award builds upon the multidisciplinary effort conducted by an outstanding team of investigators at Penn and other institutions, and there has been significant progress in this cancer that historically has been very difficult to diagnose and treat," says Anil K. Rustgi, MD, the T. Grier Miller Professor of Medicine and Genetics and Chief of the Gastroenterology Division, who is the overall Principal Investigator on the grant.
Continued research for esophageal cancer is critical for prolonging patient survival, especially since this type of cancer becomes prevalent in its later stages and patients often have a poor prognosis and reduced response to traditional chemoradiation therapy. This research is a continuation of the group's previous findings, which made substantial progress in deciphering the molecular and cellular biology underlying esophageal cancer, with broad applications to other related cancers in the lung, head/neck and skin.
One project will focus on the biological roles of oncogenes (EGFR, c-Met) and tumor suppressor genes (p53, p120catenin) in esophageal carcinogenesis, as well as the mechanisms of tumor cell invasion into healthy tissue (Dr. Rustgi). Other projects will deal with how blood vessels and fibroblasts interact to make the internal environment permissive for tumor invasion (Dr. Meenhard Herlyn, Wistar Institute), and how the protein cyclin D1 is regulated in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm (Dr. J. Alan Diehl, Penn). The projects are unified further by core facilities (Morphology: Dr. Jonathan Katz; Molecular Biology/Gene Expression: Dr. Gary Wu; and Biostatistics: Dr. Phyllis Gimotty). Collaborators at other institutions include Dr. Matthew Meyerson of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute/Broad Institute, Boston, on functional genomics, and Dr. Umar Mahmood of Massachusetts General Hospital on tissue imaging. Data generated from these projects will be used to develop new therapeutic drugs and treatments for prolonging patient survival.
PENN Medicine is a $3.6 billion enterprise dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care. PENN Medicine consists of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (founded in 1765 as the nation's first medical school) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System.

July 3, 2002: Glowing gaseous streamers of red, white, and blue — as well as green and pink — illuminate the heavens like Fourth of July fireworks. The colorful streamers that float across the sky in this photo taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope were created by the universe's biggest firecracker, the titanic supernova explosion of a massive star. The light from the exploding star reached Earth 320 years ago, nearly a century before our United States celebrated its birth with a bang. The dead star's shredded remains are called Cassiopeia A, or "Cas A" for short. Cas A is the youngest known supernova remnant in our Milky Way Galaxy and resides 10,000 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia, so the star actually blew up 10,000 years before the light reached Earth in the late 1600s.See the rest:
The colors represent various chemical elements that can be seen because they are glowing. For example, the dark blue fragments are richest in oxygen; the red material is rich in sulfur. The white, pink, and orange colors contain mixtures of oxygen and sulfur.

I just saw this and thought that I would post.
We go to a family practice. I asked the NICU before we left and they were fine with it. Our Dr. is pretty good with her being premie but I do usually remind them. I remember at her 4 mo. apointment he asked if she was rolling over and I said "no, but she was 2 mo. premie" and he said "oh, well she'll probably start to do that in a month or 2". They also have never told me that she was too small or anything, but I know this varies with Dr.'s so you have to find one that's right for your family.
