Epilepsy - children - discharge
Your child has epilepsy. People with epilepsy have seizures. A seizure is a sudden brief change in the electrical and chemical activity in your brain. The doctor gave your child a physical and neurological examination and did some tests to find out why.
What to Expect at Home
If the doctor sent your child home with some medicines, it is because more seizures could occur. The medicine can help your child avoid having seizures, but it does not guarantee that seizures will not occur. The doctor may need to change the dose of your child's seizure drugs or add new medicines. This may be because seizures happen even when your child is taking the medicines, or because your child is having side effects.
Activity and Lifestyle
Your child should get plenty of sleep and try to have as regular schedule as possible. Try to avoid too much stress. You should still set rules and limits, along with consequences, for a child with epilepsy.
Make sure your home is safe to help prevent injuries when a seizure takes place.
- Keep bathroom and bedroom doors unlocked. Keep these doors from being blocked.
- Younger children should not take a bath without someone present. Do NOT leave the room without taking your child with you. Older children should only take showers. See also: Bathroom safety - children
- Put pads on sharp corners of furniture.
- Place a screen in front of the fireplace.
- Use nonslip flooring or cushioned floor covers.
- Do NOT use freestanding heaters.
- Avoid letting a child with epilepsy sleep on the top bunk.
- Replace all glass doors and any windows near the ground with either safety glass or plastic.
Most children with seizures can lead an active lifestyle. Plan ahead for the possible dangers of a certain activity. Activities should be avoided if a loss of consciousness or control would result in an injury.
- Some safe activities include jogging, aerobics, moderate cross-country skiing, dancing, tennis, golf, hiking, and bowling. Games and playing in gym class or on the playground are generally okay.
- Supervise your child when they swim.
- Your child should wear a helmet during bike riding, skateboarding, and other similar activities. See also: Preventing head injuries in children
- Children should have someone to help them climb on a jungle gym or perform gymnastics.
- Ask your child's doctor about your child participating in contact sports.
It should be easy for a student to carry and take seizure medicines at school. Teachers and others at schools should know about your child's seizures and seizure medicines.
Your child should wear a medical alert or ID bracelet. Tell family members, friends, teachers, school nurses, babysitters, swimming instructors, lifeguards, and coaches about your child's seizure disorder.
Seizure Medicines
Do not stop giving your child any seizure medicines without talking with your child's doctor. Do not stop giving your child seizure drugs just because the seizures have stopped.
Tips for taking seizure medicines:
- Do not skip a dose.
- Get refills as soon as you can before the medicine runs out.
- Keep seizure medicines in a safe place, away from young children.
- Store medicines in a dry place, in the bottle that they came in. Throw away all old bottles.
If your child misses a dose:
- Have them take it as soon as you remember.
- If it is already time for the next dose, skip the dose that you forgot to give them and go back to the schedule. Do not give a double dose.
- If your child misses more than one dose, talk with the child's doctor or nurse.
Alcohol and illegal drugs can change the way seizure drugs work. Be aware of this potential problem in teenagers.
The doctor or nurse will need to check your child's blood levels of many seizure drugs on a regular basis.
Understand that seizure drugs have side effects. If your child started taking a new drug recently, or the doctor changed your child's dose, these side effects may go away. Always ask the child's doctor about any side effects. Also talk to your child's doctor about foods or other medications that can change the blood levels of anti-seizure drugs.
How to Respond to a Seizure
Once a seizure starts, there is no way to stop it. Family members and caregivers can only help make sure the child is safe from further injury and call for help, if needed.
When a seizure occurs, the main goal is to protect the child from injury and make sure the child can breathe well. Try to prevent a fall. Help the child to the ground in a safe area. Clear the area of furniture or other sharp objects. Turn the child on their side to make sure the child's airway does not get obstructed during the seizure.
- Cushion the child's head.
- Loosen tight clothing, especially around the child's neck.
- Turn the child on their side. If vomiting occurs, turning the child on their side helps make sure that they do not inhale vomit into their lungs.
- Stay with the child until they recover, or professional medical help arrives. Meanwhile, monitor the child's pulse and rate of breathing (vital signs).
Things to avoid:
- Do NOT restrain (try to hold down) the child.
- Do NOT place anything between the child's teeth during a seizure (including your fingers).
- Do NOT move the child unless they are in danger or near something hazardous.
- Do NOT try to make the child stop convulsing. They have no control over the seizure and are not aware of what is happening at the time.
- Do NOT give the child anything by mouth until the convulsions have stopped and the person is fully awake and alert.
- Do NOT start CPR unless the child has clearly stopped having the seizure and is still not breathing and has no pulse
When to Call the Doctor
Call your child's doctor if your child has:
- Seizures that have been happening more often
- Side effects from medications
- Unusual behavior that was not present before
- Weakness, problems with seeing, or balance problems that are new
Call 911 if:
- A seizure lasts more than 2 to 5 minutes..
- Your child does not wake up or have normal behavior within a reasonable time after a seizure.
- Another seizure starts before your child returns to awareness after a seizure ends.
- Your child had a seizure in water or appears to have inhaled vomit or any other substance.
- The person is injured or has diabetes.
- There is anything different about this seizure compared to the person's usual seizures.

Obama has no 'intention' to strike Syria if Congress says no, says aide
Will President Barack Obama order military strikes on Syria even if Congress rejects using force? Asked that hugely consequential question on Friday, a senior White House official strongly suggested that the answer is no.
"As the President has said, he has the authority to act, but his intention is to do so with the approval of the Congress. As he said in Sweden, he believes they will vote to authorize the use of military force. I'm not going to speculate on the President's decision-making if they don't approve; we think they will," White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden told Yahoo News.
Her comments, and an earlier interview with Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken lent weight to a New York Times report published Friday that cited unnamed officials as saying that Obama views going to war if Congress says no as "almost unthinkable" – and even a potential trigger for impeachment proceedings against him.
Blinken, on NPR, also played down the prospects that American military strikes on Syria would result in retaliatory attacks against America by Syria or its patron Iran or the Iran-aligned Hezbollah Islamist militia – but could not completely rule it out.
"We spend a lot of time, when we think about these things, trying to game out every possible contingency, every possible unintended consequence. And no one can give you a 100% guarantee," he told NPR.
"We work to make sure that If anyone tries to do anything to escalate, we're in a position to respond -- but our best assessment, including by our intelligence community, is that none of these countries have an incentive to pick a fight with the United States," the official said.
Hayden and Blinken's comments came as Republican and Democratic vote-counters in the House of Representatives warned privately that, if a vote on authorizing the use of force came today, Obama would lose. That may not mean much -- Congress formally returns to work next week, and Obama has led the administration's effort to reach out to wavering lawmakers. Many officially undecided lawmakers are thought to have made up their minds but are fearful to expose themselves to public blowback.
But with public opinion strongly against military action, the political realities have led supporters of attacking Syria to call on Obama to make a national address to lay out his case for war.
The president has said that Syrian strongman Bashar Assad must be punished for an alleged Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack by his forces that left an estimated 1,400 dead, including hundreds of children.
But lawmakers have questioned whether American strikes will be effective or even could lead to an escalating U.S. involvement in a 2 1/2 year old civil war that has left 100,000 Syrians dead.

What is the matter with the base ball players of Pierz? Why don't they get together and organize': A number of our players are out of town but there is plenty of material left, and when those, who are attending school at St. John's and St. ad, return we should be able to get a good team together. Some time ago two acres of ground in lower town was rent* yed from Carl Kapsner for five years, for a baseball ground and it has already been leveled off and put in shape. A grand stand will soon be erected thereon. We would suggest that the president of the Athletic club call a meeting at once with a view to organizing a baseball team.

LINDBERGH LETTER For probably three or more weeks Congress will consider the Interstate Commerce bill, which is by far the most important bill to be considered during this session. Everybody is di Inferiority of Catalog Mouse Goods One of our hardware exchanges recently* published a somewhat sarcastic communication from a dealer who in discussing the question of catalog house competition said the trade papers had proved be- 3Tond preadventure of a doubt that the catalog bouses handle inferior goods. Thus, said he, that phase of the question had A been settled. Of course, he meant that altho the trade papers frequently had made this assertion, they had proved nothing. Coincidental with the publication of the aforesaid communication was the appearance of an article in the house organ of a certain manufacturer of cream separators, the writer of which article proved beyond doubt that the founder of a large catalog house, a man who owns four farms, uses thereon cream separators of a standard make, which is never sold by catalog concerns, but thru dealers only. The significance of this fact is realized by those who know that the catalog house in question is the one which makes a greater "splutter" over tbe L cream separator it sells than over any other item in its immense list. The reader of its J cream separator advertising is asked to believe that the separators sold by the house are ab- solutel perfect and superior in every* in way to all other machines on the market, but evidently7 the head of the concern refuses to believe, else why does he use another make on his farm? In all probability, if further investigation were made it would be shown that practically all of the machinery and u- tensils used on these same farms are of standard make and not the kind sold by the house founded by the owner. If a machine sold by a mail-order house is not good enough for the head of the concern, surely it is not good enough for any fanner. The best is always ** the cheapest. Other proof of the inferiority • • - - i. _.... The Home talent plav put on at Faust's Opera House Tuesdav n'ght by the Pierz Dramatic club was a decided success in every respect. A large number of people from Little Falls, Buckman and other outside points attended and together with the home people swelled the attendance to the full capacity of the hall, The efforts of the amateur p'avers seemed to be highly appreciited, judging from the applause and expressions of praise that were heard on ev- erv side. Taking into consideration the many difficulties that have to be contended with in producing a home talent play it is right and proper that they should not be criticised as severely as professionals. Those who look part in this play feel very grateful for the cordial reception given ehem and appreciate highlv the flittering words of commendation received.

I can make use of letters, dealing with actual conditions, to good advantage in talking over the provisions of the bill with other Members of Congress who represent districts with like conditions. The conditions now in the House present better opportunities for amendments than heretofor, and I wish to get an expression of conditions so as to be in position to know what amendments ought to be made and supported. The letters should be sent as soon as possible, because public opinion helps very much, as it should, in shaping legislation, and letters that state facts and experiments of shippers and people who deal with railways and express companies will liavew-eight.

Of course, we all know that catalog houses have some standard lines of goods, and we know also that when their prices on such lines are carefully7 analyzed and compared with the dealers' prices, they are found in many cases to be practically the same, in some cases higher, all things considered. However, some standard lines are sold by these houses without profit for advertising purposes, a fact which explains their low quotations on many goods. These pric rely as bait.

The first public exhibition of n "happy family" in EajdauU was given about fifty years ago, when there were ii a monkey, a eai, several i*at_ and three or four pigeons in one cage. Tin- monkey wits on excellent terms wiih the cat so long as puss would allow bin] to warm himself hy cuddling her; otherwise he would show liis vexation by slyly giving her tall a nip wit li his teeth. The birds perched ou the cat's back and petted at her far. and the rats were as friendly with their natural enemy as if she were one of their own sort. A lady walking in the Isle of Wight observed a little kitten curled up on a mossy bank taking a midday nap. As she stopped to stroke it a hawk swooped down and. pouncing upon thb kitten, hid it from light. The lady, fearing for the life of the kitten, tried to rescue it, but the hawk firmly faced her, stood at bay and refused to move. She hastened to a fisherman's cottage and told the Inmates of the impending tragedy. "It's always so," they said, laughing. "That hawk always comes down if any one goes near the kitten. He has taken to It and stays near at baud to watch whenever it gaes to sleep." The lady, greatly Interested, made further Inquiry and learned that the kitten's mother had died, after which the nursling was missed for several days. One day the hawk was seen about the cottage picking up scraps of meat ami carrying them to the roof of VILLAGE COUNCIL MEETS The village council met Monday evening and organized.

(NEWSER) – Obama continued his campaign to woo Congresspeople to his second-term agenda today, inviting Republican Senators Saxby Chambliss and Bob Corker, and Democrat Senator Mark Udall, out for a round of golf at St Andrews Air Force Base, the New York Times reports. The White House acknowledged Obama's dates weren't just chosen for their killer chip shots (though they are some of Washington's best golfers, notes the Christian Science Monitor), Politico reports. "He's willing to try anything," said the White House press secretary. "And whether it's a conversation on the phone or a meeting in the Oval Office or dinner in a restaurant or dinner in the residence, he's going to have the same kinds of conversations."

text: Everybody knows you can't grade an NFL draft on performance the day it ends. You can't do it for years, which is part of the reason why I audit old drafts. What I do here is assess three main things: • How much overall talent did a team add based on board position? • How effectively did they address key personnel needs? • How efficient were they in maneuvering on the draft board? And I use my player grades as the prism. I'm well aware all NFL teams see players differently -- I might have a third-round grade on a safety many teams see as a late-round pick. That's the reality of player evaluations. Grading Scale: In my mind an "A" means it's exceptional; a "B" is pretty good; a "C" means average, with hits and misses; a "D" means below average with some big questions. An "F" … well, I didn't have one. Dallas Cowboys Needs: B Value: C- Overall: C+ Summary: I'm pretty sure I described the Dallas draft as "a little all over the place" when I was asked about it midway through. But looking at all the picks together, I'll tell you it certainly improved in my eyes as we got into the later rounds. I was a little critical of the first-round pick, just because the Cowboys drafted a player I thought they could have taken at least 30 spots later. Travis Frederick was my 87th-ranked player. And yet they should get credit because he'll be a starter at a position where they were a total mess in 2013. Gavin Escobar is a good tight end and a great catcher of the football, and he can learn from Jason Witten, but Witten can still play. Similar story with Terrence Williams, an extremely productive wideout for Baylor, who offers depth with the potential to start. Now, those are players I like, but taking two pass-catchers without addressing safety or an aging defensive line seemed really odd to me. Then it got better. J.J. Wilcox has the potential to become a starter and was my No. 5-ranked safety. B.W. Webb is also a prospect at corner out of William & Mary. My concern with both of those picks is the jump in competition, so they'll need seasoning. Randle is a get at a need position late. The Cowboys made some good picks, but no help on the defensive line or depth at tackle out of this draft is disappointing. http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draf...t-mel-kiper-gives-grades-every-nfl-team-draft

UPLAND -- A fire that appears to have started in the master bedroom of a 4,000-square-foot home Saturday night was under investigation.
Firefighters were on the scene in the 200 block of West 18th Street at 9:39 p.m. Saturday and witnessed smoke from the west side and the eaves of the one-story home.
Three fire engines, a ladder truck and battalion chief were called to the home.
Shortly after crews arrived, the fire flashed over and was showing out of multiple windows on the west side of the house, said Fire Chief Dave Corbin.
"When a fire flashes over, it consumes combustibles and compartment type of spaces, for example a bedroom," Corbin said. "Everything in that room is starting to heat up and it will get to a point where all the combustible items in the room will start to release flammable gasses.
"Once it gets to the ignition point, everything ignites at the same time, and that's what happened there. It's a non-survivable type of situation if someone is inside the house."
The fire consumed the master bedroom, hallway and parts of two additional bedrooms, Corbin said.
A family of four lives in the home. Corbin said the wife and children were vacationing out of the country, but the husband was at home.
No injuries were reported and the fire was out with in an hour, authorities said. Crews were at the home until 3 a.m. Sunday cleaning up.
The blaze was confined to the home, firefighters said.

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer
No one walking the halls of Olympia is surprised Washington's 147 lawmakers and governor will need a special session to finish their work.
When it will begin and how long it will run is anyone's guess.
"Hopefully it will be a short session," Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee told reporters Wednesday, adding he's talking with party leaders about the timing.
It's a good bet once the overtime period begins it will last for most or all of the 30 days allowed by law. Twenty-two times since 1980 legislators could not finish without at least one extra session and, on average, those ran 18 days.
One extra session may not be enough for the 2013 Legislature.
Some veteran members worry two overtimes will be required because the gulf between Democrats controlling the House, the Republicans running the Senate and the rookie governor is so deep and wide
Numerous disagreements exist including how to balance the next state budget, come up with another $1 billion for public schools, raise revenue for transportation improvements, keep repeat drunken driving offenders off the road and allow children of undocumented immigrants to receive state aid for college.
Whether it's one or two extra sessions, another question comes to mind: will the House Democrats, Republican-dominated Senate Majority Coalition or governor pay a price — or maybe reap a reward — from them?
Let's start with Inslee, who thus far is more skilled at communicating in cliche and metaphor than securing success for his priorities.
He's had a huge learning curve coming from Congress where he could spend an entire year without passing a budget let alone a significant bill. As governor, there's 105 days to do both. That's in odd years. Next year it's only 60 days.
Lawmakers in both parties use the politest terms in describing the arms-length he's kept from the process — except when he tried to twist arms on a gun-control bill. Inslee insisted Wednesday everyone is zeroing in on the short list of policy and budget disputes to resolve.
Should extra time bring a transportation revenue package and laws to curb the number of drunk drivers on the road and, yes, background checks of gun purchases from private sellers, Inslee can earn a pretty good score for this session. Without those, it could be costly.
For the Senate Majority Coalition, this session is about proving they can stick together. At times, the 23 Republicans and two breakaway Democrats sound prouder of that than of any vote they've taken.
They've dug in hard against raising new revenue for schools and new money for transportation. They've tied the hands of moderate members who sponsored bills dealing with abortion insurance and college aid for children of undocumented immigrants.
In the special session, something must give or they risk getting cast as the foot-draggers to progress. Since the coalition did succeed in carving out paths for education reforms, they'd do well to accept a small bit of new tax revenue and passing the college aid bill in order to lay claim as the most pro-education bunch in the Capitol.
For House Democrats, the road ahead will be bumpy. They've banked on raising $1.2 billion in new tax revenue for the state's public schools. They've called for hiking the gas tax a dime for the state's transportation system. They've not endorsed major cuts in any government programs or services.
That combination will incite loud jeering from those living outside the I-5 corridor in Puget Sound. While House Speaker Frank Chopp can't tune it out, he will need to use it to steer his caucus toward a compromise. With one, Democrats will achieve the biggest pieces of their agenda. Without one, lawmakers can count on spending a lot more time together.
Don't be surprised if June arrives before they depart Olympia.

RSS, Email Updates Debut on FirstGov.gov
** Note that FirstGov.gov is now USA.gov.
February 10, 2006
Contact: Neil Franz, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Two new features announced today by *FirstGov.gov make it easier for visitors to the site to stay on top of the latest news and information from the federal government: RSS feeds and e-mail updates.
"Providing citizens with the most up-to-date information available on FirstGov.gov is a continuing step in keeping the Administration's promise to enhance citizen access to government information," said Bev Godwin, Director of FirstGov.gov Operations, a division of the Office of Citizen Services and Communications, the nation's focal point for information and services offered by the federal government.
An RSS feed is available for "FirstGov.gov Updates – News and Features" which offers important news and information from the government on such timely topics as a new government Web site reporting the status of federal programs and the top 10 consumer fraud complaints announced by the Federal Trade Commission.
Another RSS feed, "Popular Government Questions from FirstGov.gov," features the most popular and useful questions and answers related to the U.S. government, with questions like "Does the government owe me any money?" and "How do I find out if a product has been recalled?" being posted several times a week, with answers that link to official, trusted government sources. Each month will highlight questions related to themes such as "Your Money and Taxes" (February), "Travel" (May), and "Back to School" (August).
According to Ms. Godwin, future plans for FirstGov.gov include offering more page subscriptions and a Spanish-language version. The e-mail alert service is automated by Minnesota-based GovDelivery Inc.
RSS or Really Simple Syndication feeds refers to a method of summarizing the latest news and information from a Web site that can be easily read by many news readers. It is an easy way for citizens to keep up with rapidly changing government news and information. Through FirstGov.gov, the official Web portal of the U.S. government, visitors now have access to important and official government news and information.
In addition, visitors to FirstGov.gov can now sign up to receive free e-mails alerts that indicate when new content is added to the site's most popular pages. Thirty-three pages offer the e-mail updates on topics ranging from benefits, seniors, and Internet fraud to Hurricane Katrina recovery, the arts and parents.
Additional information about the RSS feeds and email updates may be found by visiting FirstGov.gov.

ASU Frat suspended after racist MLK party
(NEWSER) – An Arizona State University fraternity that was already on probation has been suspended after a Martin Luther King Jr. Day party rife with racial stereotypes. Students wore basketball jerseys and what the Arizona Republic calls "stereotypical hip-hop clothes"; they posted on social media with hashtags like "blackoutformlk" and "ihaveadream." They drank from cups made of watermelon rinds. The ASU chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon was on probation following an attack on a black member of a rival frat. Now, local civil-rights leaders want the chapter expelled, the Republic reports.

Introducing a brand new product from a brand new company, check out the Scratch'n Slumber Comfort Center from Brawny Cat. This Washington state-based company knows what it takes to keep cats of all sizes lounging in comfort. They've packed all sorts of features into the Scratch'n Slumber, I guarantee it will be a hit.
First of all, the Brawny Cat doesn't discriminate against full figured felines. The Scratch'n Slumber was created for a very special girl named Big Baby. Here she is modeling for us:
As you can see, Big Baby needs a little extra room to stretch out, so the folks at Brawny Cat created "The Big Baby" Scratch'n Slumber measuring 26.5″ wide and 23.5″ deep. This size is great for "full figured" cats as well as large breed cats. In addition to "The Big Baby", they created four more sizes (shown below) so you can pick just the right size for your cat.
The Scratch'n Slumber isn't just a bed, it's a complete comfort center. The sturdy cedar frame holds a high quality cardboard "padlet" that cats absolutely love to rub, scratch, and nap on. The raised, curved sides provide extra support for kitty's back and head and a great surface for scratching. Plus. kitty can peek out over the sides to attack unsuspecting siblings.
The cardboard used is very high quality and stands up to quite a bit of scratching, plus you can turn the padlet over when one side is worn and get twice the life out of it. A catch basin in the bottom of the frame holds loose cardboard and catnip. Read more about the features and benefits of the Scratch'n Slumber on the Brawny Cat website.
They sent us one to test and as you can see below, everyone loves. Every time I turn around, someone else is on the Scratch'n Slumber. I've moved it all over the house — on the catio, in the living room, in the office — and they always find it. I've even seen a little "king of the hill" action happening when it's time to decide whose turn it is.
Just for reference, this is the B'Tweener model. Left to right: Theo weighs about 17 lbs.; Simba weighs 9 lbs.; and Flora weighs 6 lbs. (she's tiny). That's Ando in the top photo and he weighs about 15 lbs.
The Scratch'n Slumber cedar platforms are all handcrafted in Washington state using Western red cedar. Each one is hand-sanded and constructed without glues or stains, just natural cedar.
The Scratch'n Slumber Comfort Centers sell for $169 to $189 US, depending on the size. Replacement padlets are available for $59 to $79.
Brawny Cat is offering a Scratch'n Slumber to one lucky winner! The winner will get to choose any size Scratch'n Slumber Comfort Center. To enter, please leave a comment on this post with your feedback about the Scratch'n Slumber. We'd especially like to hear what you think about the size offerings and which size you would choose if you are the winner. Any other feedback would be greatly appreciated, too. The winner will be selected in a random drawing on May 23. One entry per person. This giveaway includes free shipping to addresses in the US and Canada. Overseas readers are welcome to enter if you are willing to pay the extra shipping charges.

Appendicitis is swelling (inflammation) of the appendix. The appendix is a small pouch attached to the large intestine.
Appendicitis is a very common cause of emergency surgery. The problem most often occurs when the appendix becomes blocked by feces, a foreign object, or rarely, a tumor.
The symptoms of appendicitis can vary. It can be hard to diagnose appendicitis in young children, the elderly, and women of childbearing age.
The first symptom is often pain around the belly button. Pain may be minor at first, but becomes more sharp and severe. You may also have a loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and a low fever.
The pain tends to move into the right lower part of your belly. The pain tends to focus at a spot directly above the appendix called McBurney's point. This most often occurs 12 to 24 hours after the illness starts.
If your appendix breaks open (ruptures), you may have less pain for a short time and you may feel better. However, the pain soon gets worse and you will feel sicker.
Your pain may be worse when you walk, cough, or make sudden movements. Later symptoms include:
- Chills and shaking
- Hard stools
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Nausea and vomiting
Exams and Tests
How you describe your symptoms can lead your doctor to suspect appendicitis.
Your doctor will also examine you.
- If you have appendicitis, your pain will increase when the doctor gently presses on your lower right belly area.
- If your appendix has ruptured, touching the belly area may cause a lot of pain and lead you to tighten your muscles.
- A rectal exam may find tenderness on the right side of your rectum.
A blood test will often show a high white blood cell count. Imaging tests may also help diagnose appendicitis. Imaging testsinclude:
Most of the time, a surgeon will remove your appendix as soon as you are diagnosed.
If a CT scan shows that you have an abscess, you may be treated with antibiotics first. You will have your appendix removed after the infection and swelling have gone away.
The tests used to diagnose appendicitis are not perfect. As a result, the operation may show that your appendix is normal. In that case, the surgeon will remove your appendix and explore the rest of your abdomen for other causes of your pain.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most people recover quickly after surgery if the appendix is removed before it ruptures. .
If your appendix ruptures before surgery, recover may take longer. You are also more likely to develop or problems, such as:
- An abscess
- Blockage of the intestine
- Infection inside the abdomen (peritonitis)
- Infection of the wound after surgery
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have abdominal pain in the lower-right portion of your belly, or other symptoms of appendicitis.

UN Warming Chief -- Warming Causes Wildfires, Even if Science Disagrees

Droughts are also accused of being the work of evil old global warming
a decade of flat temperatures and missed predictions
by global warming's
shrillest speculators
, Christiana Figueres, the executive secretary of the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC), is still ringing the alarm bell for all who care to listen. While she lacks the evidence to prove it, in a recent interview she expressed that she was "sure" warming was to blame for
a laundry list of recent natural disasters
, including, but not limited to wildfires
and droughts
I. UN Chief Believes Warming is to Sure Warming Causes Wildfires
an interview
with Christiane Amanpour of Time Warner Inc.'s (
news agency, Ms. Figueres also expressed indignation at the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott. Abbot has referred to more extreme global warming predictions as "total crap" and pushed to repeal Australia's carbon tax, having disbanded the nation's climate change board in September.
Australia has recently
suffered from raging wildfires
, and Ms. Figueres was quick to seize on this point,
We are really already paying the price of carbon. We are paying the price with wildfires, we are paying the price with droughts.
She admitted, though:
The World Meteorological Organization has not established a direct link between this wildfire and climate change – yet. But what is absolutely clear is the science is telling us that there are increasing heat waves in Asia, Europe, and Australia; that there these will continue; that they will continue in their intensity and in their frequency.

It's worth noting that Mr. Figueres
holds no degree in climate science
(nor do most UN officials tasked with setting warming policy), having achieved a Master's Degree in social anthropology. While this career politician may be unversed in climatology from a technical standpoint, she's not afraid of making bold and emotional claims.
II. Climate Chief was "Born Impatient"
In another
recent interview
-- this time with
BBC News --
Ms. Figueres appeared to admit that she lacks the patience to wait for a thorough scientific study on the impact and extent of warming before taking action. She is quoted as saying:
I am always frustrated by the pace of the negotiations, I was born impatient. We are moving way, way too slowly, but we are moving in the right direction and that's what gives me courage and hope.
I'm committed to climate change because of future generations, it is not about us, right? We're out of here. I just feel that it is so completely unfair and immoral what we are doing to future generations, we are condemning them before they are even born.
We have a choice about it, that's the point, we have a choice. If it were inevitable then so be it, but we have a choice to change the future we are going to give our children.

Ms. Figueres -- who assumed her post at the UN in 2010 is currently working on drafting a global climate treaty, as per the decision reached at a 2011 summit in
Durban, South Africa. The treaty could look to implement carbon taxes, or other wealth redistribution measures supposedly aimed at "fighting warming", but it will have a tough road ahead, if temperatures remain flat over the next decade.

Buster Wilson of the American Family Association delivered one of his classic spook stories to convince his ignorant and credulous readers that we evil liberals want to lock up all the Christians. In the process, he lied about a case in Canada that I've written about before:
As we think about the basics of Biblical morality, today we will discuss the issue of hate speech and the first amendment's guarantee of freedom of Speech.
While most Americans refuse to believe anyone could ever be imprisoned simply for something they said, the examples of it actually happening are abundant.
In our neighbor to the north, Canada, a local pastor spent 18 months in jail for a sermon he preached about homosexuality. A member complained to the hate speech council and he was found guilty and jailed.
Now for certain, that's in Canada. But the hate speecher's in this country are modeling their efforts on those successful hate speech laws in Canada.
The left wants to control the speech of the right, and if left to themselves, they will find a way to elevate hate speech above the freedoms of our precious first amendment!
Yes, the examples of this happening are so "abundant" that he has to find a single case and wildly exaggerate what happened. There is no such case. The closest thing to it is the Stephen Boissoin case, a Canadian pastor who was fined for writing a letter to a newspaper that was anti-gay. Now that's a ridiculous case and I've written about it many times, and Canada's hate speech laws should be done away with entirely. But no one ever went to jail and even in the case of this fine, it was overturned on appeal.
And even if that story was true, it has nothing to do with the United States, where we have the First Amendment and decades of court precedent that would clearly rule out any such punishment.

Dear FOS11 Member,Families of September 11 (FOS11), in partnership with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and The Camilla Group (TCG) has held several speaking events this month. As a reminder, there will be more opportunities available in the upcoming months with events at other locations including but not limited to:-New York, NY -Newark, NJ -New Orleans, LA-Chicago, IL-Los Angeles, CA-Milwaukee, WI-Denver, CA-Indianapolis, IN-Houston, TX-Dallas, TX-Tampa, FL-Columbia, OHThe next speaking event will be held at the New Orleans airport in mid June (June 11th or 12th) and another upcoming event in New York at JFK airport and Newark International airport (ERW) in late June (June 26th and June 27th). Please let us know if you are available and interested in volunteering by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. We invite you to join us and participate in this program. (Please note that the dates are all tentative, so if the date is not convenient, please let us know as it is possible for the dates to be changed). The program allows volunteers to speak to Transportation Security Officers (TSO's) at their local airport alongside FOS11 Board Member, Carie Lemack. This is your opportunity to get involved in a campaign to raise awareness about the importance of thorough and consistent security checks. You will have the unique opportunity to visit with screeners, express solidarity, empower yourself and share your story.This program will engage volunteers nationwide and will allow you to:
Don Goodrich, FOS11 Board member, provides the following account of his experience speaking to TSO's in Vermont.It is all too easy to reflect on what might have been – to imagine every possible thing that might have saved the lives lost on September 11, 2001. It is harder to confront the enormous challenges faced by Transportation Security Officers as they work 24 hours a day 7 days a week to prevent more lost lives. Last May Carie Lemack and I participated in a presentation/exchange with the officers at the Burlington (VT) International Airport . It was an empowering experience to learn what is really happening as passengers prepare to board their plans, get a better understanding of the frustrations of the officers screening them and join with them to help improve safety at our airports. It is out of this type dialogue that the resolve of the officers, the policies of their managers and the safety of our airports will improve and I am glad I had a part in it.--Don Goodrich, Father of Peter Goodrich, who died on United Airlines Flight 175If you decide to volunteer, you will work closely with the FOS11 staff. They will assist your preparation for the event and offer talking points and training to help you tell your story. Please let us know if you are interested in becoming a volunteer by emailing email@example.com.
Please note, we have some funds available for reimbursement for expenses such as parking fees, transportation fares, etc.Thank you for considering this opportunity – we hope you will volunteer a few hours of your time to make a big difference in the security of an airport near you.
If this message has been sent to you by a friend - FOS11 membership is free. Visit our website to become a member and learn more about what we do.

Simple issue: When you are selling a used board, specifically on craigslist or another forum, if the buyer is clearly uneducated about the board you are selling-they want to buy, do you inform them and risk loosing the sale or just sell it and expect the buyer to due diligence?
For example, if you are selling a 6'2" thruster and some one who has never surfed, wants to buy your board, do you tell them "hey man, you need something bigger-this isnt for you", or do you just take the money and run? what if his name is benny joe from brooklyn? does that make a difference for you?
Sell or not to sell?

|Ducks Conclude Road Trip With Win At Old Dominion
NORFOLK, Va. -- Four players scored multiple goals for the Oregon Ducks in the team's 10-9 victory over Old Dominion on Saturday afternoon.
The win snapped the Ducks' four-game losing streak. Oregon improved to 5-5 overall with the win, while Old Dominion fell to 3-8.
In addition, the win gave the Ducks momentum heading into the bulk of their conference schedule. Beginning on Thursday (April 4) with a home game against USC on the Pac-12 Networks, Oregon will play seven-straight Mountain Pacific Sports Federation matches to wrap up the regular season.
Senior Kate Cathell led the Oregon charge with three goals today against Old Dominion. Nikki Puszcz, Hayley Milner and Shannon Propst each scored two and Carly O'Connell was responsible for the Ducks' other tally.
The two teams played the first half to a 4-4 draw but Oregon came out swinging when Puszcz scored the second of her two goals to put the Ducks up a goal. The game remained close, however, as the teams exchanged a pair of goals.
But with the game tied at six, Propst and Cathell converted back-to-back goals to put the Ducks up two. Old Dominion could not draw even the rest of the way.
Milner's second goal of the day came with 3:13 remaining in the second and it put the Ducks up 10-8 to help secure the win.
Oregon's game at home against USC on the Pac-12 Networks is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Ducks face California in Eugene on Sunday (April 7) at 12 p.m.

The World Crest is a Scout emblem that has been worn by an estimated 250 million Scouts since the Scouting movement was founded in 1919. It is still worn by 28 million Scouts in 216 countries and territories and is one of the world's best-known symbols.
Scouts and members of the public often ask how the emblem originated. Lord Baden-Powell himself gave the answer: "Our badge we took from the 'North Point' used on maps for orienteering." Lady Baden-Powell said later, "It shows the true way to go." The emblem's symbolism helps to remind Scouts to be as true and reliable as a compass in keeping to their Scouting ideals and showing others the way.
The crest is designed with a center motif encircled by a rope tied with a reef or square knot, which symbolizes the unity and brotherhood of the movement throughout the world. Even as one cannot undo a reef knot no matter how hard one pulls on it, so, as it expands, the movement remains united.
The three tips of the center fleur-de-lis represent the three points of the Scout Promise. In some countries, the two decorative five-pointed stars stand for truth and knowledge.
The crest is white on a royal purple background. These colors are symbolic as well. In heraldry, white represents purity and royal purple denotes leadership and help given to other people.
The World Crest is an emblem of the World Organization of the Scout Movement and is authorized for wear on the uniform of all member associations as a symbol of membership in a world brotherhood. It is authorized by the Boy Scouts of America to be worn by all adult and youth members as a permanent patch centered horizontally over the left pocket and vertically between the left shoulder seam and the top of the pocket.
The BSA donates a small portion of the proceeds from each patch sold to the World Scout Foundation to assist with the development of Scouting's emerging nations.

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Oil prices are on their way down. This is good news for route operators looking for relief at the pumps. But are those lower prices here to stay? According to a new report by a senior fellow at Harvard University's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School, the decline in prices to a more reasonable level might be long-term.
In his report -- "Oil: The Next Revolution" -- Leonardo Maugeri makes the case in 75 fact-filed pages that oil capacity is growing at an unprecedented rate. How fast is it growing? Maugeri estimates that its growth might just outstrip demand in the future with wells pumping out 50% more than they do today, leading to even lower prices.
Those in the know are giving Maugeri's predictions a lot of credibility. Commodity and financial websites have been buzzing with news of the report that would seem to signal a death knell for the concept of "peak oil" -- reaching full capacity of output.
One reason why Maugeri's theory has gained such traction is that he has the kind of credibility that demands attention. Not only does he have a solid business experience as economic advisor to energy multinationals, he is among a handful of analysts who successfully pegged the top price in crude at $145 back in March 2008.

Just a Thought...Classics Meet Graphics
The phrase "comic book" still conjure visions of Batman and Archie for many people. But comic books have grown up and spawned a whole new generation for readers to enjoy. Normally known as "graphic novels" to distinguish them from the comic books of our youth, they are not a static genre but a format which, like regular "word only" books, comprises a wide variety of genres and content. A good starting place for someone interested in giving these grown-up comics a try would be one of the many graphic novel adaptations of classic literature. The visual illustrated content provides these familiar stories with an extra level of depth and interest that many find very engaging! Frequently, these classics are shelved under the name of the artist or writer who produced the adaptation, so for your reference, the original author will be included in parentheses in our list.
Appignanesi, Richard. Twelfth Night (William Shakespeare)
Butler, Nancy. Sense and Sensibility (Jane Austen)

NEW YORK CITY -- Kraft has expanded its Stride gum lineup with the addition of Mintacular. The new gum, with a unique minty flavor profile, is the second collaboration between Stride and professional snowboarder-skateboarder and two-time gold medalist Shaun White. Stride launched Whitemint last summer after announcing the multiyear partnership earlier the same year. It remains one of the most successful products in the history of the Stride brand, which is aimed primarily to the 18- to 24-year-old demographic, according to Kraft.
Stride launched its Mintacular advertising campaign Aug. 1 in New York City with a "mystery" billboard that featured only a date -- 8.13.12. The image was switched on Aug. 13 to reveal Shaun White holding a pack of Mintacular gum with the text: "Stride Mintacular. Chewing Redefined. Again."
Coinciding with the gum's unveiling, Stride released a tongue-in-cheek product demo video that featured the Mintacular "designers" describing the features of the new gum and packaging. | SEE VIDEO
Launched in 2006, the Stride lineup includes Spark, Winterblue, sweet peppermint, spearmint and tropical varieties.

Salt Lake City police want the public's help in locating the driver of a white minivan seen leaving the scene of a fatal hit-and-run accident Thursday night.
Police Detective Dennis McGowan said Friday that Mark Neiafu, 25, was struck and fatally injured about 6:30 p.m. Thursday as he rode his bicycle near 1800 W. California Ave.
Neiafu was rushed to the hospital but pronounced dead a short time later.
Witnesses told police they saw the minivan near the accident site, but it was unclear if the vehicle itself had hit Neiafu or was trying to avoid the collision between the bike and perhaps another vehicle.
Whether involved or a witness, police want to talk to the minivan driver.
Anyone with information about this matter is urged to call the Salt Lake City Police Department at 801-799-3000.

Technology: Since Worksheet 3 has students conduct a tree survey and complete a sample tree key, ask students to transfer this information into a spreadsheet. The information could be retained on cds or disks for future study.
English: Have students write a poem describing the schoolyard or local park.
Math: Ask students to use the results of their tree survey to draw a bar graph detailing the types of trees in the schoolyard or local park.
Science: Worksheet 3 can be used in social studies and science classes. For example, in conducting the survey of trees in the schoolyard or nearby park, social studies classes would focus on human interactions and the social value of trees, whereas science classes could concentrate on measurements, physical descriptions, naming species of trees, and the environmental value of trees to the school grounds.
