Morning glory disc anomaly (MGDA) is a congenital malformation of the optic disc that has been reported in association with midline craniofacial defects such as basal encephalocele, hypertelorism, cleft lip and palate, and agenesis of the corpus callosum. We describe a 44 year-old woman with MGDA and Chiari type І malformation, an association not previously reported.
Morning glory disc anomaly (MGDA) is a congenital optic disc dysplasia (1). The term reflects the morphologic similarity of the condition to the flower of the morning glory plant (2). The incidence of the anomaly is unknown, although most authors agree that it is rare (3). It consists of an enlarged, funnel-shaped, excavated disc surrounded by an annulus of chorioretinal pigmentary disturbance (4). Although MGDA may be isolated, numerous other ocular abnormalities are associated with it. Non-ocular associations include hypertelorism, basal encephalocele, agenesis of the corpus callosum, facial hemangiomas, renal anomalies, reversible and irreversible carotid artery narrowing, and hypopituitarism (1,4,5). Chiari type І malformation has not previously, to our knowledge, been described in association with MGDA. We report a single case of this association.
A 44 year-old woman with no visual complaints consulted an ophthalmologist for a routine eye examination. Owing to the finding of an abnormality in the right optic disc, the patient was referred for neuro-ophthalmologic consultation.
Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/40 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. There was a relative afferent pupillary defect in the right eye. She identified 7/10 Ishihara color plates in the right eye and 10/10 in the left eye. Extraocular motility was full with normal ocular alignment. Intraocular pressures were 14 mm Hg in both eyes. The anterior segment appeared normal on biomicroscopy. In the right eye, ophthalmoscopy revealed an enlarged, funnel-shaped, excavated disc, a spoke-like configuration of retinal vessels emanating radially from the disc edge, and a surrounding annulus of chorioretinal pigmentary disturbance (Fig. 1A). The macula and peripheral retina were normal without any suggestion of retinal detachment. The ophthalmoscopic appearance of the left eye was normal.
There were no abnormal facial features (flattened nasal bridge or cleft lip) or neurologic or endocrine symptoms to suggest basal encephalocele. Brain MRI was normal except for a 12 mm caudal displacement of the cerebellar tonsils through the foramen magnum into the cervical spinal canal, typical of Chiari type І malformation (Fig. 1B).
We report a single patient with MGDA and Chiari I malformation, an association not described previously.
MGDA typically occurs in women (6) and is unilateral (7,8). Visual acuity in the affected eye is usually between 20/200 and counting fingers, although patients with 20/20 acuity or no light perception have been reported. The diagnosis of MGDA is usually made clinically (9). The typical ophthalmologic findings are an enlarged optic disc with a funnel-shaped scleral defect, an elevated peripapillary tissue annulus referred to as a chorioretinal pigmentary disturbance, and pale, whitish, fluffy glial hyperplasia overlying the optic disc. Additional features include radially arranged straight, narrow retinal vessels (9). MGDA is not typically an inherited condition or part of a multisystem genetic disorder, although it has been reported as part of the renal-coloboma syndrome and trisomy 4q (7).
There is controversy regarding the etiology of MGDA. Some believe it to be a form of optic disc coloboma resulting from defective closure of the embryonic fissure. Others interpret the central glial tuft, vascular anomalies, and scleral defects, together with the histologic findings of adipose tissue and smooth muscle within the peripapillary sclera, to signify a primary mesenchymal abnormality (1,8). It is clear from histopathologic studies that retinal pigment epithelium is present in the scleral defect and that a mesodermal hypothesis is more likely (10). Another theory proposes that an abnormal enlargement of the distal optic stalk during development of the eye allows the inner layer of the optic cup to enter, causing an excavation at the entry site (8).
Chiari I malformation is a downward descent of the cerebellar tonsils and is regarded as part of a pathologic continuum of increasingly severe hindbrain maldevelopments (11). Chiari described three types of this entity, of which type I is the most common (12,13). It is defined as herniation of one or both cerebellar tonsils at least 5 mm below the level of foramen magnum (6,11,12,14,15). Diagnosis is established by sagittal MRI of the craniocervical junction (6,12). Other MRI findings may include reduced length of the clivus, retroflexion of the odontoid process, compression of the fourth ventricle, syringobulbia, small or absent cisterna magna, and obliteration of the retrocerebral cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces in the posterior fossa (12,14). Milhorat et al (12) reported the last finding in all 364 patients in their study. Chiari type I malformation is distinguished from Chiari type II and Chiari type III malformations, which include not only downward displacement of the lower cerebellum and medulla into the spinal canal but also other complex anomalies of the brain and spinal cord (16).
Chiari type I malformation usually becomes symptomatic in the second or third decades of life, although it may remain asymptomatic (6,11,17). The symptoms reported by most patients with Chiari type I malformation are typically nonspecific and nonlocalizing, such as headache, retrobulbar pressure, blurred vision, floaters and flash lights, photophobia, intermittent diplopia, dizziness, disequilibrium, poor coordination, hoarseness, chronic cough, sleep apnea, dysphagia, palpitation, numbness, pressure in the ear, decreased hearing or hyperacusis, vertigo, and oscillopsia (11). Objective findings such as nystagmus (classically downbeat on vertical gaze), cerebellar signs, and cranial nerve deficits occur in only a minority of patients (11). Owing to these nonspecific signs and symptoms, approximately 50% of patients have been told that they suffer from a psychogenic disorder before a Chiari 1 is diagnosed (11). On the other hand, no direct correlation has been observed between symptoms and the anatomic severity of herniation, so that the pathophysiologic characteristics of the disease cannot be explained by the abnormal anatomy of the craniospinal junction alone (17). Clinical manifestations vary among patients with similar amounts of tonsillar ectopia (17).
The presence of tonsils in the foramen magnum is believed to alter CSF flow (18). CSF flow studies using cine flow MRI have demonstrated that many patients with a symptomatic Chiari type I malformation have abnormal CSF flow at the foramen magnum (19). The newly formed CSF is displaced from the compressed subarachnoid spaces of the posterior cranial fossa into available spaces within the supratentorial and spinal compartments. Such displacements affect CSF compliance and can alter the normal damping effect of an open CSF system, which induces changes in the venous volume and pressure occurring with respiration, Valsalva maneuvers, changes in posture, and cardiac cycle. Although the CSF displacement could play a role in the suboccipital headache, retrobulbar pain, visual phenomena, and vertigo, the most obvious CSF-related symptoms are those attributable to syringomyelia (12).
The resolution of comitant esotropia and papilledema after posterior fossa decompression is further evidence that abnormal CSF flow has a pathogenetic role in Chiari malformation (6,11). Because this condition may be progressive, it is recommended that patients with Chiari type I malformations found incidentally receive regular neurologic and imaging follow-up including cine flow MRI to determine the status of CSF flow at the level of craniocervical junction (20,21).
The association of Chiari type II and Chiari type III malformations with embryologic defects of the brain and spinal cord has established these lesions as primary neural anomalies (12,14). However, there is clinical and experimental evidence that chronic tonsillar herniation in Chiari type І malformation could be attributable to underdevelopment of the occipital bone and overcrowding of the cerebellum within an undersized posterior cranial fossa (12,22). Results of recent morphometric studies are consistent with this view, and Nishikawa et al (23) suggested that the fundamental defect might involve underdevelopment of the occipital somites originating from the para-axial mesoderm.
The proposition that Chiari type І malformation is a disorder of mesodermal origin is supported by the following findings: 1) neurologic examinations and MRI of the brain and spinal cord have failed to provide any evidence of neuroectodermal defects; 2) the neural abnormalities are attributable to the secondary effects of chronic tonsillar herniation; 3) the incidence of neural anomalies among close relatives of affected individuals is similar to that in the general population; and 4) the MRI findings of reduced height of the supraocciput, increased slope of the tentorium, hypoplasia of the clivus, and osseus abnormalities at the craniovertebral junction are consistent with a defect of the para-axial mesoderm (23).
The association of MGDA with Chiari type І malformation in our patient supports the concept of a primary mesenchymal defect as the etiology of both abnormalities. Speculation about the embryology of MGDA points to the mesoectodermal dysgenesis of the optic nerve occurring in the first trimester (5). This timing also coincides with the timing of midline brain defects and formation of bony parts of the posterior fossa (5).
We do not think that the association of MGDA and Chiari type I malformation is accidental. Both conditions are rare and are likely to be mesodermal dysgeneses. These abnormalities have been independently reported in the renal-coloboma syndrome (7,24,25).

BROOKLYN - The World Science Festival is making a pit stop in Dumbo at Brooklyn Bridge Park.
StudioKCA designer Jason Kliomski presented a representation of a comet that is currently tumbling through space toward the sun. Scientists plan to use a spacecraft to drop a lander that is about the size of a washing machine onto the comet.
The realistic display, which emits steamy fog, is drawing quite a crowd. People stopped to look at and take photos with the comet throughout the day Wednesday.
The comet will be on display at Brooklyn Bridge Park until Sunday.

Sea-level Rise and Coastal Inundation
Global sea levels are rising due to melting continental ice sheets, melting glaciers, and warming-induced expansion of the oceans. In some parts of the South such as the Louisiana Gulf Coast, sea level rise is compounded by subsidence, the gradual "sinking" of land surface to geological processes, removal of oil, gas, groundwater or other pressurizing substances from the ground, and the lack of offsetting sediment deposition. As sea levels rise, saltwater intrudes and increases the salinity of estuaries, coastal wetlands, and tidal rivers. As a result, salt-sensitive plants and trees die and related ecosystems are forced to migrate further inland to survive, unless prevented by barriers such as roads, farms, and towns. In addition, at certain elevations, saltwater can intrude into freshwater aquifers.
By disrupting coastal forest ecosystems such as cypress swamps, sea-level rise and coastal inundation can have adverse effects on forest-related ecosystem services. For example, coastal forests and wetlands act as natural barriers to storm surges. Thus, the loss of these ecosystems increases the vulnerability of inland communities to flooding caused by tropical storms and hurricanes. Likewise, the loss of coastal forests can increase the loss of sediment to the sea. In addition, it can decrease the recreational and hunting benefits people derive from these ecosystems.

At the end of the day, 'The Wolverine' has one job and one job only: to be better than 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine.' Thankfully, that shouldn't be too difficult of a task. In fact, the latest clip from director James Mangold's film is more impressive than anything seen in Wolverine's previous solo adventure, even if it all feels a little familiar.

'The Wolverine' Offers Six Stylish Character ImagesDamon Houx July 1, 2013 @ 10:45 PM
Though it doesn't seem as noticeable in the trailers, 'The Wolverine' keeps releasing gorgeous, well-composed photos of the cast, which makes us wonder if this will be the most beautiful superhero movie yet. The latest stills to hit are character portraits that highlight Hugh Jackman's new friends and foes in the film.

'The Wolverine' Poster Shows Off the New Women in Hugh Jackman's LifeJacob Hall June 25, 2013 @ 10:22 AM
With its release date only a month away, 'The Wolverine' has unleashed yet another new poster on an unsuspecting populace, reminding us that this summer isn't just about 'Iron Man 3' and 'Man of Steel.' The poster doesn't reinvent the wheel in any way, but has everything you need to sell this movie: Hugh Jackman's physique, that same cityscape we've definitely seen before, and two gorgeous women.
'The Wolverine' Is the Lone Wolf of the 'X-Men' Movies, Insists James MangoldJacob Hall June 24, 2013 @ 10:40 AM
While Marvel and Disney are making a fortune by tying together their superhero movies with an increasingly complicated chronology, it must be tempting for 20th Century Fox to look at the 'X-Men' movies in a similar way. However, director James Mangold has come out and made it pretty clear that the upcoming 'The Wolverine' will be its own thing, functioning as a standalone film first and foremost.

'The Wolverine' International Trailer: Is This New Footage a Major Improvement?Britt Hayes June 12, 2013 @ 11:33 AM
A new 'The Wolverine' international trailer, but we're not so sure we're convinced about our hero losing his powers and becoming mortal. Maybe that's the kick this series needs to get interesting again, though.

'Wolverine' Poll: Should Fox Recast if Hugh Walks Away?Eric Walkuski June 5, 2013 @ 9:48 AM
The other day, rumblings were felt throughout the X-Mansion and beyond: Hugh Jackman may leave the adamantium claws behind and stop playing Wolverine. Of course, this would lead one to believe that the role would eventually be recast. To use a psychiatrist cliché, how would that make you feel?
Hugh Jackman Sounds Like He's Done Playing WolverineJacob Hall June 3, 2013 @ 11:04 AM
Hugh Jackman has been playing the clawed, mutant superhero Wolverine since the first 'X-Men' movie back in 2000; a run that has spanned six films. Like all things that last longer than a decade, it's starting to get a little old for Jackman. Although we can still look forward to his take on the iconic superhero in 'The Wolverine' and 'X-Men: Days of Future Past,' it sounds like Jackman's days as an X-Man are coming to a close.
Marvel Poll: Should 'Wolverine' and 'The Avengers' Cross Over?Eric Walkuski May 29, 2013 @ 9:26 AM
Yesterday brought these delightful words from Hugh Jackman about a theoretical 'Wolverine' and 'Avengers' crossover: "I would love to mix it up with Robert Downey Jr. and Iron Man and kick his ass. It'd be great." 'Nuff said, right? But would you want to see these worlds collide?

Turnip for state vegetableFebruary 04,2013The notion that kale should be selected as Vermont's state vegetable concerns me. Our legislators' valuable time need not be spent in debating and voting upon S.64 – "An Act Relating to Designating Kale As The State Vegetable." Instead, the choice of our state vegetable is clear — select one of Vermont's heirloom vegetables which has been part of our heritage for generations.
Our most famous heirloom vegetable, and the most likely candidate, is the Gilfeather Turnip, developed in Wardsboro in the late-1800s. It is celebrated by the townspeople of Wardsboro at their annual turnip festival. No other Vermont vegetable enjoys this type of fame or celebrity.
To learn all about the Gilfeather Turnip, go to www.youtube.com and search for "The Gilfeather Turnip: Rooted in Wardsboro." The video is filled with fascinating Vermont characters and will convince you that the Gilfeather Turnip is the logical choice.

AUSTIN, TEXAS — A federal appeals court upheld the use of race by the University of Texas at Austin in undergraduate admissions, a victory for affirmative-action proponents one year after the U.S. Supreme Court ordered closer scrutiny of the school's practices.
By a 2-1 vote, a panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said yesterday that the state's flagship university had justified its limited use of race to achieve diversity, given a lack of workable alternatives.
Opponents pledged to appeal, which could give the Supreme Court a chance to again review the case in its next term.

Armory House 119 opens for Garden Tour
MARTINSBURG – The Shenandoah-Potomac Garden Council comprise garden clubs in Berkeley and Jefferson counties. These clubs host the Annual House & Garden Tour to fund beautification projects in their communities.
The House and Garden Tours of Historic Berkeley and Jefferson counties, began in 1955, when several local women began this spring tradition that has blossomed into a major annual event and tourist attraction. Sponsored by the Shenandoah-Potomac Garden Council, local clubs have offered a peek into the area's unique or historically significant properties for more than 50 years. Last year, more than 800 visitors from nearly a dozen states toured the seven featured homes.
Docents from garden clubs throughout the region guide guests through these homes and gardens, describing the architecture, furnishings and plantings, as well as genealogical information or historical events that may have taken place on the grounds or within the walls. Club members also volunteer their time and talents by providing beautiful flower arrangements to decorate the homes. Tours are scheduled at the end of April in order to capture spring's beauty at its peak.
The proceeds from the first tour in 1955 were used to purchase period furnishings for the Historic Harper House in Harpers Ferry. The house was being renovated by the National Park Service. Through the years, participating garden clubs have selected various and diversified projects to benefit and beautify their communities. Local schools, parks and libraries have been the recipients of projects ranging in cost from $3,000 up to $10,000.
House number one on this year's tour is the Armory House 119, located at 691 Washington Street, Harpers Ferry.
This beautiful white two-story dwelling was one of a number built in the first half of the nineteenth century by the U.S. government to provide housing for employees of the famed U.S. Armory located in Harpers Ferry. Built in 1837, Armory House 119 was occupied by Armory officials until the end of the Civil War and is now the property of Stephen and Cassandra Mahlstedt.
The high front porch, which spans the front of the house, is reached by a tall flight of steps; it is easy to imagine it being used as a gathering place on hot summer days by nineteenth-century families. Inside, random-width yellow pine flooring sets off the rooms with their high ceilings and jewel-like colors. One living room wall of exposed brick gives the room a feeling of comfort and permanence. The Mahlstedt family has furnished their home with a fine collection of inherited and acquired antiques, including an elaborate iron bedstead and several solid Victorian pieces.
Other points of interest include the quarter-acre garden – especially attractive in the springtime. The exceptionally fine basement includes a cooking fireplace which has obviously been well used. A hand-operated water pump of similar vintage makes this one of the first houses in the area to have any form of indoor plumbing.
Advance tickets for the complete tour may be obtained from Shenandoah-Potomac Garden Council, c/o Ginny Reisenweber, Treasurer, 315 Greenbrier Road, Martinsburg, WV, 25401. Tickets on the day of tour will be $20 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under.

How to Be a Friend…When a Friend Is Most NeededPosted by Howard County Library System on Jul 25, 2013 in Cancer, Health, Mental Health, Reviews | 0 comments
By Angie Engles
When it comes to being there for an ill friend, no matter how good our intentions or how warm-hearted we are, there's always the chance we can end up saying or doing the wrong thing. In fact, sometimes the harder we try, the worse the results. In our eagerness to help or to see how our friends, loved ones, or co-workers are doing, we may inadvertently cross a line that we can never return to again.
That's where Letty Cottin Pogrebin comes in with her very helpful and moving book How to Be A Friend to a Friend Who's Sick, a guide for anyone, claims author Letty Cottin Pogrebin, who feels "dis-eased" when figuring out how best to talk to and support their ill friends. Whether it's her chapter on what NOT to say to a friend (one lady told another "At least you're already married" after she'd just had her mastectomy; a man visiting his friend in the hospital exclaimed, "God, you look awful!") or how she covers hospital visits (never stay more than 20 minutes unless the friend is notably chatty, five or less if they're in pain or yawning a lot), there's a lot here that makes this a worthwhile read.
The real-life anecdotes Pogrebin shares to show what you should not say may sound horrific, but who among us has not said something well-intentioned but nonetheless totally wrong? ("You don't deserve this" is a common mistake, but I had no clue "My thoughts are with you" is also not the best thing to say.) And, believe it or not, the most basic opening line in human discourse, "How are you?" can also be upsetting. Alternatives include friends asking, "Are you well?" or adding, "I know that's not a great question, but I really do want to know." Better yet, instead of HOW, ask "WHAT are you feeling?"
Knowing what's right to say and what isn't is, of course, very important, but so is staying sincere."Suppose we've been friends for 40 years," former President Clinton once said, putting a hand on a reporter's shoulder. "If you came to visit me in the hospital and said something pretty and eloquent instead of saying 'God, I'm sorry. This sucks. I wish I could do more about it,' it's an insult."
Other things to keep in mind:
- Do understand that you are helpless in the face of your friend's illness, especially if it is terminal.
- Do share a list with her of chores you can help her with.
- Don't mention people who have been through something similar and are doing fine now.
- Don't say "I know what you're going through."
- Don't tell your friend she looks great when she looks anything but.
If there are so many things you could say that might come out wrong, what should you say? Try:
- I'm so sorry this happened to you.
- Tell me how I can help.
- I'm here if you want to talk.
- Just tell me when to leave.
- I'm bringing dinner.
- You must be desperate for some quiet. I'll take the kids on Saturday.
- That sounds awful! I can't imagine the pain.
The best-intentioned lapses are most often forgiven, but this well-written and insightful book may help save us from more in the future. The list of resources in the back is phenomenal, including contact places, more books to assist in helping your friends, and great ideas.
As lovely and deeply sincere as Pogrebin's book is, she's right when she says it basically comes down to two things: telling each other the truth and treating your sick friends like you always did before they got ill. Listen, truly listen to them, and take hints from your friend and things should go well.
There are tons of handy resources listed in the afterword, but some of the best ones are online:
- Caring Bridge is a great resource for networking information and communicating between and among friends of the patient.
- CarePages is perfect for finding discussion forums and referrals, connecting patients with friends and caregivers.
- Breast Cancer Freebie$ shares ways to get free wigs, hats, make-up, housecleaning, transportation, and more.
- Share The Care offers referrals, instructions, and educational materials as well as ways for supporting friends and family members to organize a supportive, nurturing group.
If you find yourself needing more information, you may also want to check out another HCLS-owned title dealing with the same subject, The Etiquette of Illness : What to Say When You Can't Find the Words by Susan P. Halpern.

Kumar, Bharat
Mr. Kumar is a third-year student, SABA University School of Medicine, Saba, Netherlands-Antilles.
If you've ever heard of the term "low-yield," then you're probably a medical student. We use it to describe a topic that is unworthy of memorization. What to expect during a physical examination of the nails is considered low-yield, as are mastering Beau lines and Bywater lesions. Clinicians, however, are far less in favor of such oversights, a lesson I learned during my internal medicine rotation as a third-year medical student.
My supervising intern and I visited Mr. Watson, a homeless, 47-year-old African American diabetic, whose foot was recently amputated. He was, in many ways, a medical student's dream, volunteering a textbook history of diabetes and readily agreeing to a full physical examination. The intern uncoiled the stethoscope hanging around his neck and began auscultating Mr. Watson's heart, while I started less obtrusively with an examination of his radial pulse. As I did so, something else caught my eye.
His nails were, in a word, repugnant. Reflecting a hard life on the street, they were more like claws, encrusted with filth and frayed away at the edges. As I stared at them with macabre fascination, I noticed something else in the pallor of his nailbed. Whenever I felt a pulse, all five of his nails momentarily gained a rosier hue, almost like tides on a beach. But before I could fully appreciate this phenomenon, the intern aborted these feckless thoughts by noting the utter lack of murmurs, gallops, or rubs in Mr. Watson's heart sounds. It was then that I decided to quickly direct his attention to Mr. Watson's nails and appeal for another auscultation of the aortic area. He humored his pupil and obliged wholeheartedly. This time, however, more attuned to the prospect of regurgitation, he observed something faint yet insidious—the characteristic blowing diastolic calling card of aortic insufficiency.
The nails were the first subtle clue to a perilous process. The oscillation of color in Mr. Watson's nails reflected his wide pulse, largely due to the evolving aortic regurgitation superimposed on his preexisting hypertension. Fearful that this new murmur was due to infective endocarditis, the attending physician ordered an echocardiogram and blood cultures. As expected, Mr. Watson was found to be septic with a fungus most likely a result of his recent foot surgery and was subsequently treated to clear the infection.
There is no doubt that the end diagnosis of endocarditis would have been established at some point in the near future. Yet, Mr. Watson's grotesque nails attracted the necessary attention to start the cascade of events that led to his early diagnosis. Were his nails more adequately maintained, my five-second cuticle inspection would have yielded nothing, leading to a longer and costlier hospital stay. So, yes, it is completely true that nail inspection is low-yield. After all, we simply do not need to know it to pass a standardized examination. To pass a more sublime threshold, though, like the one that separates us as medical students from the doctors we seek to become, perhaps it is best once in a while to embrace such topics because low-yield subjects may lead to high-yield diagnoses.

OK - she's crazy about this school (Rice) so I just thought I'd ask.
SAT - 1420, not sure about the breakdown, but I think it was something like 740V, 680M.
No 2's yet.
Rank was something like 2/400, but it'll go down a little this year: her mom made her take easier classes like Fast forward Precal and Hn. Physics. 2 AP's: English and US Hist.
Not the hardest courseload possible, but demanding.
Academic team. Heavily involved in church and orchestra. All-County, Western-regionals, etc. Talented Cellist.
Lets see...random stuff like NHS...you know.
She'll write a great essay and have great recs, I mean REALLY GOOD recs.
I think that's it. If you could give me some feedback, I'd appreciate it. The only thing I'm worried about is the courseload. She's not slacking off or anything, but at my school most people take Hn Precal or Calc BC junior year, and her mom made her take "fast forward" which is some UNC-system thing for college credit. And Hn physics - a competitive courseload at our school would include an AP science junior and maybe even sophomore year. So I wanted to know about how much that counted at Rice - college of arts and sciences. Thanks a whole bunch.
|By Timmy1 on Sunday, December 01, 2002 - 09:51 pm: Edit
i don't know much very much about rice, but your friends stats seem really good, so i would think she has a good chance
|By Richard from FL on Monday, December 02, 2002 - 02:37 am: Edit
I would say somewhere between in and very in. Salutatarian over 1400 with that kind of involvement is a very strong Rice applicant. I would be shocked to see her rejected, especially with so much demonstrated interest.

The Conway County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) says it received a call around 4 p.m. about a school bus headed north on Hwy. 9. The caller said the bus driver had let about a dozen kids off the bus at Hwy. 9 and Pinter Lane before the driver also got out and was seen talking on a cell phone.
While deputies were on the way to investigate, the CCSO says a second call came in to report that the driver had gotten back on the bus, which continued north on Hwy. 9 with children still on board.
Troopers with the Arkansas State Police and CCSO deputies were able to get him stopped without incident about a half-mile down Lonoke Rd.
The CCSO says the driver at that time said he had a meltdown.
Another bus was called in to pickup the children and take them home.
The investigation into the incident continues.

Fishing with Bulldozers | Deep Sea Trawling
Posted By G Living Staff Monkies On July 16, 2008 @ 4:26 pm In Green Report / Media | No Comments
If you're a fan of orange roughy, you probably can't find it in abundance like you could in the mid-1990s. The reason: their stocks have declined by an estimated 99 percent in the last 17 years. The roughy isn't the only one in danger; other species that have made the list include the roundnose grenadier, blue hake, spiny eel, spinytail skate and onion-eye grenadier. Never heard of them? Me neither, but these fish form an important link in the ocean's food chain, albeit from the once-sheltered seafloor starting at about 4,000 feet down.
Deep sea trawling, the practice of dragging heavy nets along the bottom of the ocean in search of new fishing stocks, has been likened to fishing with a bulldozer. The giant nets scrape along the bottom, trapping everything there, destroying corals and causing plumes that can be seen from space. Commercial fishermen turned to this practice after our appetite for close-to-shore fish nearly wiped out the most popular species like salmon and cod. The problem is that deep-sea fish take up to 25 years to mature sexually, making them extremely vulnerable to overfishing.
And then there's the habitat destruction and the plight of bycatch, the unintended species caught up in the nets. The concerns are so severe that many nations have enacted trawling bans, but enforcement is tough because of the vastness of the ocean and the lack of international consensus. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that we still know very little about what goes on way down there, so entire ecosystems could be destroyed before we even knew they existed, ecosystems that the entire ocean depends on for its health.

Both of the songs – Kakusei Heroism ~The Hero Without A Name~ and Dreams are available for download in the download section.
Expectedly Darker Than Black has released their new second opening and ending theme. The opening song by Antic Cafe is entitled Kakusei Heroism ~The Hero Without A "Name"~ while the ending song by HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR is entitled Dreams. From my point of view, the new opening song is good but not as exciting compared with the first one, HOWLING by abingdon boys school. Some rock music elements are much appropriate to suit the theme songs for Darker Than Black. That is why their second opening track is a letdown. However the new second ending song is much worse disappointment. Just about when I got attached with the first ending song, Tsukiakari by Rie Fu, this second ending song did not gain much of my attention. To sum it all, their new opening and ending theme is less better compared to the previous ones. With this, all I am saying is that the songs are not all bad altogether. It's just that the songs are a little less exciting by comparison.
I wanted to upload the AMV for the second opening and ending theme for Darker Than Black on YouTube myself but due to some encoding errors, I failed to fulfill that. That is why I am borrowing someone else's video. Credits to Hadesillo for the video.

I used to be a die-hard real Christmas tree fan. Growing up in California, my family would head to the Christmas tree lot every year and pick out a wonderful, pine-y smelling Christmas tree. It was a tradition we looked forward to each year.
When I grew up and got married, my husband, children, and I would either go to the Christmas tree farm or the woods and cut down our own Christmas tree. I couldn't imagine Christmas any other way.
Then we had a chaotic year where my husband broke his finger right before Christmas and needed surgery. Between the medical appointments and the cast on his arm, cutting down our own tree wasn't feasible. That's when I did the unthinkable. I bought a fake Christmas tree.
I thought I'd hate it, but I've grown to love that big, fake tree. My daughter loves to decorate the house right after Thanksgiving, and I love not having to worry about a real tree drying out before Christmas! I also don't miss pine needles all over my floor!
But which is the more frugal option? That's a tough question to answer.
If you live in the right place, you can find a real tree for very little money. In Oregon, a permit for cutting down a Christmas tree is only $5. That's a pretty frugal option!
You also can't really put a price on the whole tree hunting experience. If that's been a part of your family tradition for years, it might not be worth it to buy a fake tree.
Finally, Christmas trees can be mulched down and are completely biodegradable. Real trees are more environmentally friendly than their artificial counterparts, which last for years in a landfill.
For around $100 you can get a real-looking artificial tree. In some areas of the country, it's almost that much for a real Christmas tree, making the fake tree the obvious frugal choice.
Artificial trees can last 10 years or more, so even though they cost more upfront, most of the time they'll cost less in the long run.
There's less of a fire hazard with an artificial tree, especially if you tend to put your Christmas tree up early.
In the end, there's really no right or wrong choice. Real trees and artificial trees both have their advantages and disadvantages. It all comes down to personal preference. So which do you prefer?

Well around here a real tree costs about 70 bucks. We got a fake tree with little fiber optic lights that change color built in for 30 bucks. I miss the smell but i can replicate it with air fresheners. Also i have a very bad back so bending down to water a real tree is literally a pain. So yeah, we go with the artificial tree here
my parents have an artificial tree that looks great. You really can't tell that it's fake unless you feel it. I'm sure it has saved them a few hundred dollars in the last 6 years that they've used it.
Maintenance is also very easy with a fake tree.
You have to get a permit to cut down a tree, lol? Leave it to government. There's no way in you know what that I would pay for a permit to cut down a tree.
Don't forget that you have to store an artificial Christmas tree from year to year, and if you don't have easy access to an attic space or a storage building, that can be a hassle. Of course, you can reuse an artificial tree from year to year, so it's probably cheaper in the long run.
We bought our artificial tree about two weeks after Christmas a couple years ago. 50% off with a store coupon too.
Relatives of mine pay $25-$100 a year for a real tree. Our tree should last us at least ten years.
I like the smell of a fresh tree, but we can get candles that can set the holiday mood just as well.
No shedding, watering, no hauling the thing in my car, no throwing out a perfectly good tree in January. I always thought it a little strange to cut down millions of trees every year to put in our homes for a month only to "throw them away" shortly after.
My wife bought a very nice, very expensive pre-lit Christmas tree one year 50% off the day after Christmas. We have had the same tree for over five years now. It has more than paid for itself twice over already, and we plan on having the same tree for many years to come. Another great thing I love is the convenience. I don't have to go through the hassle of buying a real tree and dragging it home on the top of my little 4 door.
I'm just an average mom, trying to live a frugal life and get out of debt. I write about things that have (and haven't) worked to improve my family's financial situation. What works for me may or may not work for you, and you should always consult a financial advisor before making important financial decisions.

Blueberry Yogurt JelloAugust 19, 2009 at 11:24 pm | Posted in Blueberry, Recipe, Yogurt | 32 Comments
Tags: Dessert, Food, Jello, Photography
This blueberry jello mold with blueberries and vanilla frozen yogurt was a hit with the kids a pool party (and a nice compliment to the pool itself).
3 (3 ounce) packages of blueberry flavored gelatin
3 cups boiling water
3/4 cups cold water
1 cup blueberries
2 cups vanilla yogurt
In a bowl, stir 1 cup of the boiling water into 1 package of the blueberry gelatin until gelatin is fully dissolved. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate mixture until thickened. Fold blueberries into gelatin and spoon into a 7 cup mold. Refrigerate until gelatin is set but not firm. (Gelatin should stick to your finger when touched.)
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, stir in 2 cups of the boiling water into 2 packages of the blueberry gelatin until gelatin is fully dissolved. Whisk in yogurt until the mixture is smooth. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature then gently spoon into the mold over the blueberry gelatin layer. Refrigerate until firm. Unmold and serve.

Hi, i love the look of this jelly and would love to make it but i still have a few questions to ask before i do if that's ok.
I managed to get blue jello, i think it's called berry blue or something and it comes in size 3oz boxes. Is that what size you mean when you say small pagkage or not?
Also when you add the blueberries is the jello already in the ring jelly mould or was the blue jello in another container while it was in the freezer and then you add the blueberries and tip both the jelly and blueberries into the ring mould. Do you push the blueberries into the jello or mix them in?
I live in the UK so can't get frozen yogurt, but i see that you have mentioned ice cream so that's fine, but is ice cream okay to mix with hot liquid, will it do anything bad like make someone ill or anything?
Sorry if my questions sound a bit dumb, but everything seems to go wrong when i make it and i want to make sure i am doing it wright.
Many Thanks

Hi, looks awesome! Can it be stored in the fridge with the frozen yogurt/ ice cream though? Won't it melt? Also, how many days will it stay ? I'm thinking of making it the night before but not sure am I supposed to keep in freezer or fridge? :p

Hi there, I tried this recipe and have to say that the colours turned out beautifully and the blueberries in suspension were magnificent. However, the gelatine part with the blueberries stayed in the pan when I inverted it and didn't stick well to the frozen yogurt part. What did I do incorrectly? Thank you. mayra

Hello, I'd like to try this recipe. If anyone here has tried it, can you please help me answer which type of yogurt should I use? Is it the regular vanilla yogurt or the frozen vanilla yogurt?

I made this mold and brought it to an Easter dinner yesterday. It was THE hit of the party. Everyone loved it and was mystified as to how it was made! As I'm always responsible for the jello mold, I've tried many. This was, by far, the easiest, prettiest, and most tasty mold I've ever made. Thank you for sharing!

When folding the fruit into the gelatin, should it still be kind of liquid in order to be able to spoon this mixture into the mold? Can you just put the gelatin into the mold from the beginning, fold the fruit in and still get the same result? I am sorry, that part kind of got me confused. I am a visual learner🙂

**If this is in the wrong place I"m sorry...feel free to move it.
Today I took DS in for his well baby check (he is 10 mo) His weight was 16.12 lbs. He has lost about a LB. My MD told me he's not too concerned since the family just got over being sick and he had recently started eating solids again (He had gone to exclusively nursing.) He eats so well, he loves to eat, if it's food it goes into his little belly. But he also is a major boob junkie...and nurses all the time and my mom is jumping on me that I am being selfish and need to no longer offer him the breast... I can't do that to him, he'd lose it...
I am going to offer him more solids, but not take away breastfeeding...anyone with suggestions on things that might help him keep the weight on?? He is quite the mover so I know it's his metabolism is insane...but I don't want to supplement!!!
Oh I'm sorry i'm a mess my thoughts are everywhere and I"m in tears as I type.

Is it possible to redefine the type of a resource, i have managed to create "userdata" from a file ( after much work with newproxy, metatables, and assert), and if i can turn this userdata into a wav type then we should be able to minimize how much ram is used and play full length songs (I have loaded a 21.9mb wav file on the player, i just need to manipulate it ). (Unless there is something preventing this on the player, which has happened before)
If you use print(assert(my_loaded_wave_file)) you will see it outputs wave (some-number)
I need to convert print(assert(my_loaded_file_that_will_be_a_wave)) which outputs file (somenumber) to wave (some-number) , I have created the artificial user data and this is the last variable that stands in the way.
I don't understand that much, but good lack :)
Let me rephrase what I am asking with.... fruits and vegetables.
I have have a pea ( representing my loaded file). I want to make that pea be
1. A Fruit(userdata)
2. An Apple(a wave file)
Currently, I have convinced the player that the pea is a fruit. I now need to convince the player that my fruit-pea is an apple.
