USC private giving up 9.4 percent
The University of South Carolina received unprecedented donor financial support that lifted private giving to a record $117.6 million for the year ending June 30, 2010. This amount is a 9.4 – percent increase above 2009's total of $107.5 million. More than 47,000 donors made gifts and pledges, also a record.
This new fundraising milestone comes at a time when The Chronicle of Philanthropy, after citing a 6-percent drop in charitable giving to education in 2008, is reporting a 3.2-percent decrease for education in 2009.
"This year's campaign success is validation of donor confidence in the university's core mission of teaching, research and outreach," USC President Harris Pastides said.
"Just as the baseball team came through when its back was against the wall in Omaha, our University of South Carolina alumni and friends came through with unprecedented support during a very difficult budget year," Pastides said.
Among the gift highlights: $65.1 million in program enhancements for research and outreach; $29.8 million in scholarships, assistantships and fellowships; $13.5 million in capital projects; $5.3 million in unrestricted gifts; and $3.9 million for faculty support, including endowed professorships and chairs. University staff, faculty and retirees contributed $2.7 million. Private gifts also played a key role in shaping the newly dedicated Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library.
Michelle Dodenhoff, university vice president of development and alumni relations, said donors know that their gifts will make a real difference for students, faculty, programs and capital needs.
"It's humbling to me to see how many alumni, friends, foundations and other partners have illustrated their confidence in the great work and promise of our university by maintaining or increasing their support this past year," Dodenhoff said.
One of the many beneficiaries is The Gamecock Guarantee, which provides financial support to in-state, first-generation students with the greatest need for financial assistance. The program grew from 96 freshmen its first year to 125 last year.
Gamecock Guarantee recipient and Honors College student Chadwick Devlin from Anderson said, "Without the Gamecock Guarantee and the financial resources it provides, I would not be able to reach my greatest potential."
Private giving, by the numbers
- $65.1 million in program enhancements for research and outreach
- $29.8 million in scholarships, assistantships and fellowships
- $13.5 million in capital projects
- $5.3 million in unrestricted gifts
- $3.9 million for faculty support, including endowed professorships and chairs
- $2.7 million from staff, faculty and retirees

The Healthiest Beverage on EarthPeople have been exploring tea's health benefits for 5,000 years. Whether we are seeking mental alertness, protection against disease, or renewal of the spirit, we enjoy tea for many reasons. Research on tea and its health effects is underway in academic institutions and medical settings all over the world and many exciting leads have been uncovered. As more studies begin to test findings on human subjects we gain valuable information about how tea can help us in our own lives. None of the following information should be interpreted as or substituted for medical advice. It is simply a presentation of some of the promising findings presented in recent years. The Antioxidant StoryEach day, we may be exposed to harmful influences -- foods high in fat and sugar, chemicals in the environment, cigarette smoke, and more. In response, our bodies produce unstable molecules called oxidants or "free radicals" that can damage healthy cells. The result can be chronic illnesses, immune system damage, organ disease, and other health problems. Antioxidants found in foods like fruits, vegetables, and tea, can help to limit the effects of free radicals. The antioxidants combine with free radicals so they can no longer harm other cells. In this way, it is believed that antioxidants may reduce the occurrence and size of some kinds of tumors and inhibit their growth.You will see many terms associated with antioxidants and tea that might seem confusing at first. They are all closely linked. Antioxidants are molecules that slow or stop oxidants. Polyphenols found in tea have strong antioxidant qualities. Flavonoids are a type of polyphenol found in tea. Catechins are a component of flavonoids. There are four types of catechins in tea. EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is the one discussed most frequently with regards to tea's health benefits. How Tea Helps Our Bodies Cardiovascular HealthSome of the benefits to heart health that have been suggested by early studies include lowering LDL cholesterol1 and improving the ability of blood vessel lining to expand when blood flow increases. Some believe that tea might also help lower blood pressure. Immune systemAntioxidants may help to protect Immune System the L-theanine, an amino acid present in tea, may "prime" the immune system to help it fight infection, bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In addition, tea is rich in vitamins and minerals including B1, B2, B6, C, folic acid, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. CognitionTea's amino acids may also help you gain a calmer, but more alert, mental state. The effect can last for 3 - 4 hours. CancerEarly research suggests that some components of tea might help to reduce cancer risk. This is one of the most active areas of research currently. Oral HealthTea contains a natural fluoride, encouraging healthy tooth enamel, and the flavonoids in tea may slow the formation of plaque by bacteria in the mouth. Weight LossTea has no calories and helps to hydrate the body. Substituting unsweetened tea for sugary drinks like soda can be a useful tool in maintaining a healthy weight. It is also thought that tea can help to boost metabolism. One should not, however, believe claims that "Wulong" tea is "weight-loss tea." "Wulong" is simply another word for "oolong" and it has not shown any more, or less, impact on weight loss. Bone HealthA study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that older women who were tea drinkers had higher bone mineral density (BMD) than non-tea drinkers. Organic IngredientsAll of Tea Forté's artisan crafted teas and infusions integrate only the highest grade, leaves, healthful herbs, fruits and flowers offering a symphony of botanical benefits, that deliver a diverse cup full of flavor and character. They source only teas that are 100% natural and do not contain petrochemicals, dyes, artificial fragrances or preservatives. Tea Forté is uncompromising in these principles and procure the finest, exceptional organically-grown ingredients that meet their standards when available. Fair Trade TeasThe Fair Trade Certified Label guarantees consumers that strict economic, social and environmental criteria were met in the production and trade of an agricultural product. Fair Trade farmer groups receive a minimum price covering the cost of sustainable production and a premium to invest in social and economic development projects. Tea Forté is proud to offer teas and MINTEAS that support Fair Trade movement dedicated to building equitable and sustainable trading partnerships that create opportunities to alleviate poverty. The company stands in solidarity with the tea workers and empowers them by paying a pro-active premium which provides and supports fair wages and added benefits such as better housing, healthcare, education and a sustainable environment. In order to provide these benefits, Tea Forté's premium is up to ten times more than conventional prices paid by many tea companies. Your purchase helps protect fragile ecosystems. Recyclable PackagingSupporting the preservation and improvement of the environment Tea Forté's boxes are made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper and printed with soy ink. Their MINTEAS and HERBAL RETREAT EnviroTins are made from steel, the most recyclable packaging material in the world. Steel is among the highest sustainable form of packaging as it is a completely and endlessly recyclable loop of steel to steel, with no loss of its original properties regardless of how many times it is recycled. The Environmental Protection Agency's reports that steel cans have the highest recycle rate of any materials, more than two-and-a-half times higher than that of most other packaging options followed by paper, paperboard, and then aluminum cans. Steel ranks as today's most desirable, convenient, and environmentally friendly package. Minimizing Tea Forté's ImpactConscious of their ecological impact Tea Forté has chosen to hold ourselves responsible making every effort to minimize their supply chain and offset their carbon footprint, whenever possible, knowing that the preservation and improvement of the environment is a reflection of good corporate citizenship. Tea Forté's web presence is part of the a 100% Carbon Neutral Web Hosting Community, whose servers' electricity impacts on the environment are offset by Wind Power - reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions every day.

transcript:
Narrator: Beneath White Mountain, in New Mexico, the Mescalero Apache reservation prepares for a coming-of-age ritual. Over the span of four days, 13-year-old Dachina Cochise will pass through ancient tests of strength, endurance, and character that will make her a woman.
Narrator: The Mescalero Apache hold the ritual every Fourth of July. It’s a grueling ordeal, intended to prepare girls for the trials of womanhood.
Melette: When she was a little girl I knew this is what I wanted to have for her.
Narrator: Dachina’s mother, Melette, has spent more than a year preparing for this week of ceremony. Family members and friends will help her feed and care for more than fifty guests.
Narrator: The family’s most important task is selecting Dachina’s medicine woman. Zelda Yazza will instruct Dachina in the ways of traditional Apache womanhood.
Narrator: The four-day ceremony encapsulates the Apache creation story. Dachina will move through the stages of life…infant…child…adolescent…woman…culminating in an all-night dance that will test her endurance.
Narrator: The ritual begins with the rising of the morning star. The ceremony requires Dachina to live by strict rules.
Narrator: These four days mean little sleep, scant food and the need to set aside emotion. Throughout the ordeal, she must wear a face of stoic resolve.
Dachina: I feel really excited and happy even though I can’t smile. But I’ll try to show it in some way.
Narrator: Before Dachina joins the other girls she is blessed…dusted with pollen, the symbol of fertility.
Narrator: The girls start their journey in a sacred teepee built by their male relatives.
Zelda: Let’s go right now. They are putting the teepee up!
Narrator: The basket is filled with pollen and other ceremonial objects. As their ancestors did, the girls run toward the rising sun…circling the basket four times to mark the four stages of life.
Narrator: The fourth and final day brings Dachina to the cusp of womanhood. She ascends the hill to pray to the mountain spirits for a long and successful life.
Narrator: With darkness near, it’s time to dance beside the ceremonial fire. Dachina and the other girls will dance all night long, much of the time hidden in the big teepee.
Narrator: More than ten hours later, Dachina is still dancing. The medicine men greet the sun, a signal that the final test is near. The girls’ faces are painted with white clay symbolizing the goddess. On their last circuit around the sacred basket, the girls wipe away the symbolic clay. With the falling of the teepee, their rite of passage is complete.
Narrator: Dachina receives her Apache woman’s name, “Morning Star Feather”.
Zelda: Morning Star Feather. Everything went well. She’s going to be a strong woman.
Narrator: Her community gathers, acknowledging that this girl has earned the right to live as a woman of the tribe. As an Apache woman, Dachina serves as a symbol of her culture, renewing and protecting a way of life that’s in danger of vanishing.

Pyloric stenosisCongenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis; Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis; Gastric outlet obstruction
Pyloric stenosis is a narrowing of the pylorus, the opening from the stomach into the small intestine.
Normally, food passes easily from the stomach into the first part of the small intestine through a valve called the pylorus. In pyloric stenosis, the muscles of the pylorus are thickened. This prevents the stomach from emptying into the small intestine.
The cause of the thickening is unknown, although genetic factors may play a role. Children of parents who had pyloric stenosis are more likely to have this condition.
Pyloric stenosis occurs more often in boys than in girls, and is rare in children older than 6 months. The condition is usually diagnosed by the time a child is 6 months old.
Vomiting is the first symptom in most children:
- Vomiting may occur after every feeding or only after some feedings
- Vomiting usually starts around 3 weeks of age, but may start any time between 1 week and 5 months of age
- Vomiting is forceful (projectile vomiting)
- The infant is hungry after vomiting and wants to feed again
Other symptoms generally appear several weeks after birth and may include:
- Abdominal pain
- Belching
- Constant hunger
- Dehydration (gets worse with the severity of the vomiting)
- Failure to gain weight or weight loss
- Wave-like motion of the abdomen shortly after feeding and just before vomiting occurs
Exams and Tests
The condition is usually diagnosed before the baby is 6 months old.
A physical exam may reveal signs of dehydration. The infant may have a swollen belly. The doctor may detect the abnormal pylorus, which feels like an olive-shaped mass, when touching the stomach area.
An ultrasound of the abdomen may be the first imaging test performed. Other tests that may be done include:
- Barium x-ray -- reveals a swollen stomach and narrowed pylorus
- Blood chemistry panel -- often reveals an electrolyte imbalance
Treatment for pyloric stenosis involves surgery to split the overdeveloped muscles. See: Pyloromyotomy - pyloroplasty
Balloon dilation does not work as well as surgery, but may be considered for infants when the risk of general anesthesia is high.
The patient will be given fluids through a vein, usually before surgery.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Surgery usually provides complete relief of symptoms. The infant can usually tolerate small, frequent feedings several hours after surgery.
Possible Complications
Complications of pyloric stenosis include:
- Failure for the baby to gain weight
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if your baby has symptoms of this condition.

Editor's note: This commentary is by David Coates, a retired managing partner at KPMG — Vermont.
For the last several years, I have been working to raise awareness in Vermont about the challenge we face with pension and retiree health care costs. There has been no shortage of national attention on these issues. This July, we all saw Detroit follow a string of cities and towns across the country, from Pennsylvania to California to Rhode Island and Alabama, in declaring bankruptcy as a way of restructuring or eliminating their obligations to employees' retirement. What was once unthinkable is becoming a trend.
As I have previously stated, Vermont's combined unfunded pension and retiree health care costs of $3.2 billion (for state workers and teachers) is not sustainable. Each year the state underfunds more than $80 million of required retiree health care contributions. To date, no one has put forth a realistic solution other than the one I proposed that dedicated the potential Internet sales tax currently under consideration in Washington.
Imagine a system of public colleges underwater on their debt. Of course, the $144 million obligation could be covered if the state substantially increased its appropriation or if VSC tuition went up dramatically. Both highly unlikely scenarios.
The announcement of impasse in the Vermont State Colleges contract negotiation with the VSC Staff Federation highlights these challenges. While the VSC do not have a pension obligation (they moved to a defined contribution retirement plan many years ago), they have a post-retirement employee health insurance obligation that stands at roughly $144 million. It is small relative to Vermont's as a whole, but left unattended, the post-retirement health care obligation will inevitably affect the VSC's ability to keep tuition affordable and make the investments necessary to serve Vermonters well.
Let me help put this $144 million in perspective. The unfunded pension and retiree health care benefits for Detroit ($3.5 billion) on a per capita basis is $5,000. Vermont's ($3.2 billion) is $5,100. The $144 million owed by the VSC on a per student basis is over $11,000 … that's right … $11,000 per student. Even acknowledging that the student population is limited by time in a way that population of a city or a state is not, this debt stands as a substantial obligation relative to those who pay the revenue.
Without a funding source this debt will continue to grow and reduce the net assets (equity) of the VSC and could, over a period of about 10 years, create negative net assets (equity). This is not something that the State of Vermont, the VSC Board of Trustees, the students of the five colleges, nor anyone employed by the colleges would view as positive. Imagine a system of public colleges underwater on their debt. Of course, the $144 million obligation could be covered if the state substantially increased its appropriation or if VSC tuition went up dramatically. Both highly unlikely scenarios.
Chancellor Tim Donovan's approach was to try to build a consensus strategy that contained the liability over a period of years. Responsibility for funding the strategy would be shared between management and employee groups, including all unions and the non-bargaining unit employees. The plan commits a portion of college revenue to a post-retirement health insurance trust fund. It also calls for closing the group, meaning no new employees would be eligible for post-retirement health benefits, and adjusting the premium obligation for those currently employed but not yet eligible to retire. Finally, the plan redirects a quarter of the retirement contribution from the defined contribution retirement program to the trust fund. The plan is a smart, balanced approach that preserves an otherwise endangered and unsustainable benefit with every stakeholder shouldering some share of the burden.
The chancellor's approach is reasonable and achievable. It is sustainable and clearly represents the path of fiscal responsibility. Not coming to a fair and responsible agreement now will only require a much more draconian approach to post-retirement health insurance obligations in the coming years.
By the way, I did a quick search of some other colleges and universities in the state and found no other institution offering this type of benefit. Some did in the past, but have since revised them … for obvious reasons.

When you use MS Word, do you find yourself updating the exact same information in many different files?
For example, maybe you have a weekly sales figure that is put into several different Word files each week.
Do you open all the files and change the information in each and every one? Even with a copy and paste process it still can take quite a bit of time.
Or, is there a simpler way? Maybe a way to update the information once and all the documents make the change?
Of course – why else would I ask??
Here's the plan…
1. Create and save a file with only the information that is frequently updated.
2. Now copy that information.
3. Next we're off to the file where the information actually belongs.
4. Once there, place the cursor where you want the information to be inserted.
5. Now it's time for Paste Special to do its job. Click the bottom half of the Paste button located on the Home tab of the Ribbon.
6. When you're in the Paste Special dialog box you need to select Paste link.
7. Now click OK.
8. Save the file.
Repeat the Paste Special process into all the files that should contain the data.
The next time you need the information updated in all the documents simply open the file with only the information in it – change the information – then save it.
Now open the other files.
You should find that the update has been completed in all of them.
There is one important piece of information that should be noted here… the link is specific to the location of the information file where it was first saved. If you move it then you're going to have to set new links – so it's best to be sure that you create that first file in a location where it can stay.
And there you have it…
One update can really take care of them all!

Grady Sizemore signs one-year deal with Red Sox
BOSTON — Oft-injured outfielder Grady Sizemore has agreed to a $750,000, one-year contract with the Boston Red Sox.
A three-time All-Star, the 31-year-old has played eight major league seasons, all with Cleveland. He is a .269 career hitter with 139 homers and 458 RBIs.
Sizemore was an AL All-Star in each of his last three full seasons (2006-08) and hit .279 during that stretch. He has been hampered by injuries over the last five years, missing the past two seasons following operations on his right knee and back. Before 2009, he had never been on the disabled list.
Sizemore's base salary is guaranteed under Wednesday's deal, and he can make $4 million in performance bonuses and $1.25 million in roster bonuses.

Bye-bye Bell ... for a while
The Canadiens won't play at the Bell Centre again until the Bruins visit on March 12.
In the interim, the Canadiens will play three games in California and visit Phoenix.
They ended their post-Olympic homestand with five of a possible six points.
But it wasn't easy.
First-period goals by Alex Galchenyuk and Max Pacioretty staked Peter Budaj to an early lead.
But the Leafs got a late goal from James Van Riemsdyk. And after a scoreless – and thrill-less – second period, the Leafs scored twice – JVR and Phil Kessel –in 2:25 of the third period to take the lead.
P.K. Subban made it 3-3 on a power play.

Great start
The Canadiens had two goals before the visitors had a shot on Peter Budaj.
AlexGalchenyuk's 11th of the season and Max Pacioretty's 28th gave the home team a 2-0 lead over the sluggish visitors.

The Canadiens and Leafs resume their Original Six rivalry in what should be a raucous Saturday night at the Bell Centre.

Toronto is fourth with 71 points in 61 games.
This is Gary Bettman's Parity Dream: A tight race for playoff spots.
This is the clubs' third meeting of the season, which began back on Oct. 1 when Toronto spoiled the Canadiens' opener with a fight-filled 4-3 win.
Max Pacioretty scored 58 seconds into the game and added a shorthanded goal as the Canadiens won 4-2 at home on Nov. 30.
James Van Riemsdyk scored the third-period winner and Joffrey Lupul added an empty-netter in a 5-3 W Jan. 18 at the Air Canada Centre.
Peter Budaj makes his third consecutive start in nets for the Canadiens as Olympic hero Carey Price continues to nurse what everyonbe suspects is a knee knack.

In accordance with the Texas Government Code, §2001.039, the Texas Education Agency submits the following revised plan for review of their rules. This revised rule review plan, filed on September 22, 2003, reflects changes to the revised plan filed on July 23, 2001.
Senate Bill 467, 77th Texas Legislature, 2001, exempted the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) from the rule review requirement. This plan has been revised to remove the TEKS from the rule review process. Although the rules will not be reviewed as part of the rule review process, the State Board of Education does intend to conduct a comprehensive review of the TEKS. This comprehensive review of the curriculum content will be designed to align the adoption of textbook proclamations with the amendments to the TEKS.

Oh, by the way, I just got a shiny new MacBook Pro to run Linux on! Hooray! It's an awesome machine, but I just wanted to post this bug to the general public to save people the 3 days I've spent trying to figure it out.
Essentially, what it boils down to is this: the b43 Linux driver that you've compiled and installed interferes hardcore with the adjacent Bluetooth chip on your MacBook.
Let's do a little test to demonstrate. While connected to a WiFi network with b43, put a Bluetooth device into pairing mode near your machine. Make sure the
bluez package is installed. Next, run the following:
$ hcitool scan Scanning...
You'll probably see it say
Scanning... and then… nothing. It won't see your device. Period.
Let's continue with our experiment. Unload the b43 module with
sudo rmmod b43. Your internet will go down if you're on WiFi. Now, run
hcitool scan again.
$ hcitool scan Scanning... XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Nexus One
Aha! Found you! So, it seems that the problem is with the driver itself. This is kind of a bummer, to say the least, but hopefully they'll have it patched soon. Until then,
sudo modprobe b43 and continue on, weary warrior.
For the record and for Google, I'm running a 2011 MacBook Pro 8,3 with Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot 64bit/amd64.
Update: A Working Workaround!
As noted by Benoit in the comments below, you can actually get things working with a little workaround. First, unload the
b43 driver from the kernel:
$ sudo rmmod b43
Next, reload the module, turning Bluetooth coexistence support off:
$ sudo modprobe b43 btcoex=0
As counterintuitive as it seems, it works! Hooray! I'm now able to listen to music with my Bluetooth headphones and use the built in B4331 wireless card in my MacBook at the same time!!! The only issue I've encountered is that when you're spiking and getting really high upload/download rates, you'll notice that Bluetooth audio skips a bit. Luckily, this is a pretty minimal problem and doesn't prevent you from using your Bluetooth or your B4331 WiFi card in your MacBook Pro.

Cisco Survey Reveals Many Young Job Seekers Value Social Media Over Money [INFOGRAPHIC]
Shakespeare once wrote, "All that glitters is not gold," and when it comes to young job seekers, he was spot-on.
Cisco's recent survey of 2,800 college students and recently employed graduates found that while a competitive salary is important, many respondents said a company's social media policy matters even more. In fact, 56 percent overall said they wouldn't work for a company that bans social media usage.

What a downtown weekend it was! All of the library's events were well attended: Art Hop, Friends of KPL sidewalk booksale, First Saturday @ KPL, and the kick-off of summer reading with music and games in our parking lot on a beautiful summer day. Thanks for stopping by.
We celebrate summer reading with fun and games but it is fun with a serious purpose….keep kids reading over the summer to counter the "summer slide." Especially in the early elementary years, there is a gradually shift from learning to read to reading to learn and for enjoyment. Reading over the summer maintains the skills learned during the school year and contributes to a faster start in the fall.
Our community has many summer literacy activities planned. Check out opportunities wherever kids are going this summer: churches, YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, KPS, Nature Center, Communities in Schools among many others. Most every organization with a summer program has added a literacy component.
We are working together to build a college-going culture. Encourage kids to read this summer, share what you are reading, bring them to the library.

Different Dialect
We just transferred to a new city with a different dialect from where we came from, will my daughter have a difficulty with the language barrier eventually when she goes to school? How can I help her prepare for it when I for one is not fluent with it?
25th April 2014 01:27 AM #2
Dear milkandboo,
By 'dialect' I assume that you been that the overall language is the same it is just spoken with some differences in the city you are in? What city did you move from and to, so I have a better understanding of this?
Children's brains can easily make new neural pathways. In fact, children aged 2 years and younger would generally have little difficulties with understanding two languages and going on to be bi-lingual. However, it is important that your daughter is fully immersed in the new dialect on a daily basis. Is it spoken in your home? Can she spend lots of time with children and families who speak the dialect with ease?
So, in conclusion it depends on how different this dialect is. Your daughter's ease at adapting to this dialect and becoming fluent in it also depends on her immersion in the local language and her age.
Warm wishes,

Hi LJ!
I now plan to have my daughter get into a play class so she can adapt the local language. Thank you for taking time to answer my query.

That sounds very wise!
I wish you all the best with this,

a zone of one's own
For several years, architect Kyle Gaffney made occasional visits to a friend's vacation house in Orondo, Wash. He learned all the area's secrets—the best places to water-ski, the idiosyncrasies of the local weather, and the endless variety of fruit grown in the orchards surrounding this Columbia River town. So when a small piece of property there came up for sale, it caught the eye of Gaffney and his wife, architect Shannon Rankin. They decided to buy the land and build their own weekend home, creating a long-desired escape from their hectic schedules as principals of the Seattle firm SkB Architects.
Like most architects designing their own houses, Gaffney and Rankin faced the constraints of a relatively lean budget. They hired a trusted Seattle-based contractor, whose superintendent lived in a nearby trailer during the building process, but they also opted to do some of the construction labor themselves. With the help of their firm's third principal, Brian Collins-Friedrichs, they designed the simplest, most easy-to-build plan they could imagine. It consists of two perpendicular bars separated by a covered breezeway. One bar, for guests as well as the couple's teenage daughter, Hannah, contains a bedroom, a bathroom, and a four-bed bunkroom. The other holds the public spaces and a second-story master suite. Though the home's total size comes to just 1,280 square feet, it comfortably sleeps as many as 10 people. Because friends and extended family often stay overnight, Rankin placed particular importance on detaching the main house from the guest wing. "If you have other people there, it really feels odd if you're [sleeping] right across the hall," she says. "It's so nice to have the separate building."
Orondo lies on the eastern side of the Cascade Mountains, a two-and-a-half hour drive from Seattle. Its climate veers between 100-degree summer days and harsh winter storms—a factor the architects took seriously. "The positioning of the house really addressed the climate," Gaffney says. Wind and sun hit the building from the south, so the long, one-windowed south façade serves as a buffer against both. Deep roof overhangs provide additional shade to a large courtyard accessible from both wings. Operable windows occupy strategic locations to allow for optimum passive heating and cooling. And scored concrete floors stay cool even on the sultriest summer days.
Those concrete floors require little upkeep—a quality that endeared them to Gaffney and Rankin. Most of the other materials are equally low-maintenance: stained cedar channel siding, aluminum windows, corrugated metal roofs, and concrete masonry units for the master bedroom tower. SkB landscaped the property with hardy ornamental grasses and boulders from the site. And the firm balanced the rustic interiors of whitewashed spruce and exposed glulam beams with bits of luxury, such as high-end hardware and stainless steel backsplash tiles. Says Rankin: "They're the jewelry of the house."

Final Results for Optimist Midwinters
Sunday, November 28, 2010
The Southern Yacht Club's annual Optimist Midwinter Regatta, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, wrapped up this weekend on Lake Ponchartrain. The event included over 230 sailors from Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, Great Britain, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Bahamas, as well as from all over the United States.
Blue Fleet Top Finishers (11-12 years old)
Red Fleet Top Finishers (13-15 years old)
The Sugar Bowl has sponsored regatta events on Lake Ponchartrain every year since 1935, except during World War II. The original sailing competition is divided up into two separate phases, spread out over four two-day periods, usually weekends, beginning in late November and concluding on New Year's Eve.

Sharpies and teenagers. A match made in heaven. Ask any teenager and they'll tell you straight out how much they love Sharpies. It's like they actually invented the things! That's ok. They can take all the credit. After all, teens have provided plenty of inspiration for the Sharpie brand team over the years, and have shown all of us over here at the marker factory just what a Sharpie can do. There's just something about a free-spirited teen living the life that lends itself to wild and crazy Sharpie experiments.
Speaking of….Judy and Caitlin Hudgins of Apex, North Carolina were enjoying a leisurely sick day at home recently and decided to send me some photos of Caitlin's Sharpie experiment. Have a look:
These are just so the thing. Forget Facebook and MySpace. Who needs all that technology when you can express yourself right on your own personal billboard, your jeans. Say it loud, say it proud with Sharpie! Bonus points: What a great way to pass the time in study hall (after all the studying is done, of course).
Here's Caitlin telling us all about it: Mom Judy chimes in at the end…
How old are the jeans?
They are not even a year old yet.
When did you start doodling with Sharpies on them?
This is like my 10th pair of pants. The others are not so fortunate, but they stay clean maybe for a week then I go to town.
What are some of the statements you make with Sharpies on the jeans?
I'll draw cartoon characters, just random sayings like "United States Marine Corps," "Death over Dishonor," anything I want goes on there.
Are you using your jeans as sort of a personal billboard? What's your overall message, if any?
I guess I am in a way, but it's not really a message. It's more of showing people who I am. It's a way of expressing myself.
Have you washed the jeans? How are they faring? Do you have other pairs?
I have washed them alot. Aside from the already huge holes in one pair, the art fades away a little, but that makes me only want to add more.
Do other people sign them, sort of like a cast?
Everytime I make a new pair of jeans my friends sign them from Day One till the end. I'll call it a cast of friendship.
Do you think this is a hot new trend?
I do think it is. Others may not, but they just don't know it yet. So maybe 5, 10 years down the road it will be the hottest thing, they will look back to high school and say "that girl started all of this. Maybe she wasn't weird at all for writing on her pants after all."
What would one need if one was to embark on a Sharpie jean frenzy like you have?
An imagination and of course Sharpies. Don't try and sit down and expect you can cover a pair in 5 minutes. They take time, patience and it's a lot of fun.
Will you save these forever and ever, sort of like a baby blanket? Do you think you'll frame them one day?
Honestly, the pair with the holes I know will not last, but I can try. In a way they always have been my baby blanket. I could try to frame them, but (in the future) my kids and husband may really think I'm crazy then. But can't blame a girl for trying.
And now a word from Judy, Caitlin's mother:
"From a mother's point of view, I just about died the first time I saw the $40 pair of jeans done up like this. Since then, the understanding is all the jeans she gets from Goodwill (which is most of them) she is free to draw on. And the Sharpies really, really last in the wash. They have faded very little. I am working on a blue jean 'apron' for gardening for my mother and am decorating it with Sharpie's." (See, even moms love Sharpies!)
Caitlin, covering all the angles:

July 2005
The Library's mission requires excellent customer service. Successful customer service involves a knowledgeable, friendly staff team that connects library patrons to what they need, leaving them satisfied, happy, and eager to return.
While at work, each staff member is a representative of the library. The impression we make profoundly affects the library's image and ongoing support. Because every patron interaction is important, being helpful is our highest priority. All other library policies should be interpreted in light of the principles outlined below.
Customer service principles
- Treat every patron with equal respect and every request with equal importance.
- Always be ready and willing to help, making patrons feel valued.
- Provide accurate, friendly and efficient service, and invite patrons to return.
- Do your best to meet patrons' needs and exceed their expectations. Whenever possible, judgment calls should be made in the patron's favor.
- If you are unable to comply with a request, offer an alternative.
- Be well-versed in library policies and be able to explain the rationale behind them.
- Always seek possible improvements to promote service excellence.
Ethics/confidentiality guidelines
- Do not offer personal opinions or advice; refer patrons to authoritative sources instead. Use common sense and diplomacy in discussion of Board decisions and library policies.
- Do not discuss patron interactions in public areas.
- All interactions between a patron and the library are confidential and should be discussed only in a professional context (including but not limited to registration information, patron circulation records, and reference questions).
- Positive operating procedures
- Smile to greet approaching patrons.
- Welcome new borrowers and give them all the time and information they may need. Encourage them to come back often – if there is time for a brief tour and they are interested, give one.
- Wear your name tag at all times, so patrons know who can be approached for help.
- Look up and around periodically while at the desk.
- Be proactive. Approach patrons and offer to help.
- Try not to point. Walk patrons to the shelves or to the proper desk.
- Find ways to say "yes." Offer options such as interlibrary loan or electronic products if print material is unavailable.
- Invite patrons to return for additional assistance.
- Ask follow-up questions to make sure their needs have been met.
- If you are helping others, acknowledge patrons that are waiting by making eye contact. Explain, if needed, that you are assisting someone else but will be with them as soon as possible.
- Keep your voice low in the library.
- Be friendly, but avoid long conversations with patrons; explain that you need to get back to work.
- Keep conversations with other staff to a minimum in public areas. Even if you are discussing library business, patrons may perceive you are either merely socializing or too busy to help them.
- Answer the telephone in a timely manner.
- Use a friendly tone and identify the library.
- Patrons who are present in the building take precedence over telephone inquiries.
- If you are unable to work on a caller's request immediately, offer to call them back.
- Avoid personal calls while on duty.
- During all hours of operation, a staff member should be at the service desk.
- Be aware of the visual impact of the library.
- Eliminate clutter and present an organized, neat service area.
- Confine food and drink to staff areas.
- Listen courteously to patron suggestions and encourage them to fill out comment cards.
- If a patron has a complaint, listen attentively in a non-judgmental manner. Refer to the appropriate library policy, and when necessary refer the patron to the Director. If a patron has concerns about an item in the collection, ask them to fill out the appropriate form to begin the review process.
- Strive for patrons to experience a user-friendly, accessible environment that meets their information needs.
- Be punctual; your colleagues will appreciate it.
- Be mutually supportive of other staff. Keep in mind that the quality of your work always impacts that of another. Share resources and expertise.
- Value and respect the skills, abilities, and contributions of your co-workers.
- Be flexible.
- Help each other to be a success.
- If you don't know the answer, find someone who does. Avoid saying "I don't know;" use "I can find out!"
- A friendly, helpful attitude ensures a positive experience even when the message you must convey is not a pleasant one.
- Communicate a positive perspective to patrons and co-workers about library policies and procedures.
- Bring forward your good ideas to benefit the library team and patrons.
Our patrons are not an interruption of our work, they are our work.

2)<meta name="keywords" content="blah, blah, blah" /><meta name="description" content="blah, blah, blah" /><meta name="FSAccessControl" content="" /><meta name="FSChildTemplate" content="default.html" /><meta name="FSDateCreation" content="08/24/09 01:20 PM" /><meta name="FSDatePublish" content="08/24/09 01:20 PM" /><meta name="FSFLContent" content="yes" /><meta name="FSLanguage" content="en-US" /><meta name="FSOnSitemap" content="yes" /><meta name="FSPageDescription" content="" /><meta name="FSSearchable" content="yes" /><meta name="FSWritertoolPageType" content="CustomPage" /><meta name="FSSection" content="blah, blah, blah" /><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-US" /><meta content="blah, blah, blah" property="og:title" /><meta content="blah, blah, blah ="og:site_name" /><meta content="blah, blah, blah" /><meta content="288191961271713" property="fb:page_id" /><meta property="og:url" content="http://www.blah.com/blah-blah-blah-Overview/" /><meta property="og:type" content="article" />
The owner of the second set of meta tags ranks far far far beyond anybody else (myself included). Even when I type the search phrase in a search engine EXACTLY as appears in my Title tag, their pages (with Title tags that don't even have one keyword that matches their Title or my Title) still out rank everybody else.
What gives?
Is there some other Mojo out there (don't say content either--my content is far superior. I have as much as 10 pages of quality content written up as opposed to theirs. For every 1 page of content in a particular topic that they have, I have 3 to 5 more content pages with properly placed H1, H2 tags, etc.). And don't say sites linking back to them, they don't have those either. Nor do I. Although I'm contemplating submitting my site to a LINK DIRECTORY related to our topic. (I read here that those don't matter anymore).
NOTE: I do have my own You Tube videos (around 340 of them) where my site's URL appears in the description of the video as a link BACK to my site. (Does that overcome my HTML Tag problem?)
They do have a blog, though, contained within their site. I'm working on doing the same. It's not finished yet.
ONE BIG ADVANTAGE THEY HAVE: My site is new. It's been in its current form for about 6 to 8 months.Theirs has been number one on the first page of Google / Yahoo for about 3 to 5 years now.
So, other than the amount of time in the number one position, and the blog, how can I optimize my tags, etc, so that now I'll be the one in the number position?
I am actually number 3 or 7 on some Google/Yahoo searches for some of my pages, even after only about 6 months.
Should I use ALL of the same exact meta tags they are using?
Is their setup a SUPERIOR setup than mine?
I have been reading here that most of the meta tag stuff is just fluff and doesn't really matter much at all. Is that true?
Meta tags have long since been removed as a major ranking factor and while it was pointed out in another thread on this topic this week that they may contribute, they are just one factor and primary used to build descriptions. Thus comparing one set to another to determine rank is like asking why your car is slower than mine by looking at the paint.
Most of what you see in their tags is some editor or CMS's messaging which does nothing + basic tags + facebook's meta data. Sounds like there's nothing magic to their rankings... just a well traveled site with some unique although not amazing content, a few decent links [what your link searches see is not the entire story] and a focus on something other than SEO.
If anything you're running the risk of over optimizing by stuffing content, using frivolous tags [name, subject and keywords??] and trying to follow a book for how to appear potentially at the risk of the value you actually deliver. It's not that you should do nothing but there's a point where you're no longer helping and quite possibly hurting.
I'm sure some of our more optimization focused expert members will chime in with practical advice but until then it's something to chew over.
Great reply. Thank you for the info.
Initially when I started reading the thread, I was thinking on three factors
After understanding that you have got better content than your competitor and there are no backlinks for both, I understood that the deciding factor was Domain age and Reputation.
You cannot just move above a reputed website with a new website on SERP in just sometime. But I wouldn't say its impossible, one can even rank above Wikipedia in a competitive search phrase with some effort and time. Google must understand that you are providing value and quality content and you have got good link references for a certain product. Once this is done, it will consider moving your website up in the ranking.
The two main tags (according to Google) are Title and Description (which should also have the keywords in the body of the text)Age is a very important feature and also backlinks. Google does not specify the value of other metatags. Content is "King". Howpopular is your website (how many visits per day) this is also important.-Other than those items, I don't know how to answer you.-falcon

Eosinophilic fasciitis
Eosinophilic fasciitis is a very rate syndrome in which muscle tissue under the skin, called fascia, becomes swollen and thick. The hands, arms, legs, and feet can swell quickly.
The disease may look similar to scleroderma but is not related.
The cause of eosinophilic fasciitis is unknown. In people with this condition, white blood cells called eosinophils, build up in the muscles and tissues. Eosinophils are linked to allergic reactions. The syndrome is more common in people ages 30 to 60.
- Bone pain or tenderness
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Muscle weakness
- Tenderness and swelling of the arms, legs and sometimes the joints
- Thickened skin that looks puckered
Exams and Tests
Tests that may be done include:
- Gamma globulins (a type of immune system cell)
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
- Muscle biopsy
- Skin biopsy
Corticosteroids and other immune-suppressing medicines are used to relieve symptoms. These medicines are more effective when started early in the disease. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may also help reduce symptoms.
Outlook (Prognosis)
In most cases, the condition goes away within 3 to 5 years. However, symptoms may last longer or come back.
Possible Complications
Arthritis is a rare complication of eosinophilic fasciitis. Some people may develop very serious blood disorders or blood-related cancers, such as aplastic anemia or leukemia. The outlook is much worse if blood diseases occur.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of this disorder.
There is no known prevention.

AFTER Louis Thompson's winner against Sheffield United gave Town some play-off optimism a couple of week ago, most of that hope has started to drain away over the past week.
With five games left until the end of the season, Town sit seven points from the play-off places, but one point from dropping down to 11th.
As the 2013-14 campaign starts to wind down, it's difficult to say whether it's been a successful campaign or not.
Some would argue that, due to the state of the club at the start of the season, it's been a successful year, as we haven't once flirted with the idea of relegation.
Others would point to our form in 2014 and how the club were two points from the top six on January 11, but didn't build on that decent start.
At the half way stage, Town had collected 34 points – since then we've picked up 23.
I understand both sides of the argument, but at this moment I feel more frustrated than content at the club's current position.
Don't get me wrong. The fact we've haven't left the top half of the table all season is a good achievement for a club that started the season without a manager and just one striker fit for selection.
Thankfully, the club sorted itself out, we appointed Mark Cooper and looked like a team full of confidence, especially at the County Ground.
My frustration comes from our inability to push on in 2014.
Home performances against Oldham, Colchester, Crawley and Milton Keynes were not up to the standard set earlier in the season.
Thankfully chairman Lee Power spotted in the home game against Wolves that we needed another centre back, and brought in Jack Stephens.
But by this point a top six spot looked too far away.
With the current owner still setting out his plans for the club and putting his ideas in place, it's unfair to call for his or the manager's head.
The big test for Power and Cooper will be the start of next season, when the side has got rid of the last remnants of the Paolo Di Canio era and it is 100 per cent their team.
Old adversaries Brentford arrive at the County Ground this Saturday.
After an important win during the week, Mark Warburton's side now look odds-on favourites to earn automatic promotion to the Championship alongside Wolves.
For Town to achieve a top six spot we have to win our remaining five games and hope Peterborough slip up along the way.
But with the Bees in good form it will be a tough ask for Cooper's side.

Hero Needs Help, Chili's to the Rescue
Have plans for dinner yet? You can enjoy a night out with your familiy at Chili's, with the good feeling that you're helping out a local hero.
You may have heard the story about Angel Soto, the father of four who rushed to the aid of a man who had been involved in a car crash almost one year ago and lost his leg in the process.
As Angel was pulling the man out of a pickup truck along Old Boynton Road on October 29, 2012, a Porsche rushed by, pinning the good samaritan to the truck and ultimately costing him his right leg.
The Traffic Safety Committee of the Palm Beaches gave Angel a Hero Award earlier this year and now they want to help him pay for medical expenses.
Soto is waiting for Social Security benefits to kick in and dealing with costs that go above and beyond what insurance will pay. He also lost his job as a security guard, yet still says all of this is worth it, because he helped to save a life.
Click Here to print the flyer, or visit the Safety Council of Palm Beach County, Inc. At that website, you can also find out how to donate directly to Angel Soto, if you can't make it to dinner.
Now to dinner:
Visit one of three Chili's locations in Palm Beach County and show a printed flyer to your server. Ten percent of your check will be given to Angel Soto, but this is going on from 4pm to 10pm on Thursday only.
Here are the three locations where this event is going on:
Chili's Jupiter, 65 US 1 North, Jupiter FL (NE corner of Indiantown and US 1)
Chili's Palm Beach Gardens, 3805 Fairchild Avenue, Palm Beach Gardens, FL (Legacy Place)
Chili's Boynton Beach, 2202 N. Congress Avenue, Boynton Beach FL

1992 Jeep Cherokee Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1992 Jeep Cherokee based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Ignition wire failures can cause a rough idle or intermittent engine misfire and there might not be a Check Engine light.
The throttle position sensor (TPS) may fail causing intermittent drivability problems like hard starting, stalling, and/or hesitation when accelerating. A failed TPS will require replacement, proper diagnoses should always be performed before replacing any parts.
The head gasket may seep oil externally. An updated head gasket is available that will prevent any more oil seepage.
Leaks at the front and/or rear differential pinion seal and from the transfer case are common. Leakage from the transfer case normally occurs at the case-mating surfaces and require removal of the transfer case to reseal.
Engine oil leaks from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket and timing cover gasket are common.
The outer exhaust manifold studs can break and cause exhaust leaks, commonly noted as a ticking type noise. The outer studs, clamps, and nuts will need to be replaced and are now being tightened to a reduced torque value (20 Nm/180 in lbs).
The throttle body may accumulate an oily, black residue in the bore and on the throttle plate causing hard starting or possibly stalling when coming to a stop. The throttle body should be cleaned during regular maintenance but do not spray cleaners directly on or at the throttle position sensor (TPS) as this can damage the sensor.
Be sure to verify starter replacement procedure before replacing the starter. A new starter replaced the older design and does not use a shim in the installation. Incorrect use of the shim can cause starter noise or may damage the starter.
Some models are susceptible to rear main oil seal failures in dirty or dusty conditions. As dirt and dust collect on the oil seal, the abrasion wears through the sealing surface. A rubber plug, installed above the starter, is being used in production that prevents the dust entry near the seal and extends the life of the seal. The plug is available from MOPAR and should be installed any time a rear main seal service is performed.
A ticking type noise may be noted from the engine area due to an exhaust manifold that has cracked where the pipes are welded; cracked manifolds should be replaced.
A water leak and/or wind noise may develop from the doors or lift gate area. As a result of a leak, water may accumulate on the vehicle floor. While door seals can be a common cause for this type of leak, diagnoses may be required to confirm that a door seal is indeed causing the problem.

Collaboratory institutions celebrate first anniversary of renewable energy research team
DENVER, CO – On February 21, 2007, the Colorado Renewable Energy Collaboratory was launched, with the public signing of an agreement between the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU), Colorado State University (CSU), the Colorado School of Mines (CSM), and Midwest Research Institute, manager of the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The four Colorado based institutions committed to join forces to perform world class research, to develop new energy technologies, and to transfer these advances as rapidly as possible to the private sector.
"The Collaboratory's rapid growth is due to three factors," according to David Hiller, the Collaboratory's Executive Director: "First, the unbelievable research talent and leadership at the four institutions; second, the strong support of Governor Ritter, Colorado's legislators, and our congressional delegation; and third, a unique structure that allows our private sponsors to work with four world class institutions through a single administrative point of contact."
"We're not surprised by the success of C2B2, but we're very pleased," said Alan Weimer, Professor of Chemical Engineering at CU-Boulder and Director of C2B2. "We worked hard to create the perfect blend of public research talent with private industry experience." The Collaboratory institutions are now conducting 10 research projects that were selected as most promising by C2B2's private partners out of 65 proposals from the researchers at the four Collaboratory institutions.
By the end of 2008, the Collaboratory also expects to announce:
- an additional solar energy research center directed toward near-term technologies and improvements in existing technologies for photovoltaics and concentrating solar power;
- a wind energy research center, including modeling, design and testing of turbine blades and towers, micro-climate forecasting, and electrical and control systems;
- a carbon management center, including research on carbon capture technologies, carbon sequestration technologies and policy analysis; and
- an energy efficiency and management research center.
