Watching history

Years from now, will you remember where you were when you watched the historic inauguration of the nation's 44th president? Seven University of Minnesota, Morris students likely will never forget.
Morris campus students Patrick Chester, Mike McBride, Rene Maes (already in D.C. on an internship), Kathy Julik-Heine, Colin Sandoe, Talia Earle and Josh Preston have returned from Washington, D.C., where they stood among the millions on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol to witness the inauguration of President Barack Obama.
Departing for Washington, D.C., with only one ticket to attend the inaugural ceremony, the students were able to secure additional tickets with the assistance of Representative Collin Peterson. Arriving at the entrance to the mall at 4:45 a.m., and waiting subsequent hours in the bitter cold, they found spots among the crowd, right behind the reflecting pool of the capitol.
"There is something overwhelmingly empowering about being in a crowd of two and a half million people, all watching as great American history takes place," shared Julik-Heine.
"To describe the Inauguration of the President Obama is to describe several experiences: being present at a succession of incredibly historic events and interacting with inspired individuals from across the world," said Chester, who is Morris Campus Student Association president. "The speech itself was inspiring, but it was made even more so by the massive upwelling of emotion that I observed around me. People from all over the country had come to see Obama be inaugurated as the first African American president and many people cried as he spoke."
But, as Julik-Heine said, "We're getting ahead of the story."
The group left Morris late January 15 and arrived in Washington, D.C., following a 25-hour journey. They stayed with friends who lived about 10 blocks from the national mall on Pennsylvania Avenue. Following a tour of the city on Saturday, they "checked out the MSNBC station reporting live on the mall and ate dinner at Union Station," said Julik-Heine. President-elect Obama was scheduled to arrive at Union Station from Illinois Saturday night, and the students welcomed him to the city as his motorcade passed them on their way to Union Station.
"Because we were a ways down, there weren't many others and when the president-elect's vehicle passed by, he looked out the window and waved at us," said Julik-Heine. "So exciting, We were all very pumped that we got to officially welcome the president-elect into the city."
On Sunday they toured the capitol and attended the "We are the One" concert.
Even in Washington, D.C.—in true Morris student style—Monday was a day for civic engagement for Sandoe, Chester and Julik-Heine.
"[We did] our part in Obama's "Day of Service" in south Washington. Our project was assembling and distributing green energy packs (light bulbs, weather stripping and reusable shopping bags) for people in the surrounding area. Many spoke and it was during this event that we had the honor of meeting Obama's Secretary of Energy, Dr. Steven Choo," said Julik-Heine.
And the magical experience continued. "While warming up in one of the museums lining the mall Monday afternoon, Colin [Sandoe] found an envelope containing two tickets to President Obama's Home States Inaugural Ball," said Julik-Heine. "After many failed attempts to find the proper owner of the tickets—asking the Obama Transition Committee, Capitol Police, museum guards, and our staffer connection in the house of representatives—Mike (McBride) and I decided we HAD to go." Thanks to "a few recommendations from a gracious stranger in Macy's and a couple of credit card swipes later," both had put together 'black tie'-appropriate outfits for the inaugural ball.
Among Earle's memories of the experience are "[fulfilling a] personal dream of mine. I met my favorite political commentator, Keith Olbermann. Seeing Senator Kennedy on the screen was the first of many tears for me," shared Earle. "Finally, the President and Vice President-Elect became President Obama and Vice President Biden. At the end of the service, I, along with two million others, sang the National Anthem...and wept."
"I am so grateful I had an opportunity to go [to the inauguration] and see the jubilation that it caused. It is even more inspiring when you consider that we are in the midst of economic turmoil and many of the people who were watching may have lost their jobs or their homes," added Chester. "I want to remember the feelings I felt there forever."
Experiences for Morris campus students such as this one are often supported by UMM Catalyst and also Coca-Cola Student Initiative travel funds.

Coach John Wooden Dies at Age 99
Leaves an inspiring legacy of leadership in athletics and life
Coach John Wooden's legacy of leadership transcends athletics and spans generations. As a legendary coach, prolific author and inspiring speaker, in his core he was a teacher who taught life's lessons and values. Coach Wooden instilled in others a sense of pride, a commitment to ethics, and a respect for teamwork. His principles are timeless, and have inspired countless leaders, from sports to business and government.
In 2008, in partnership with Coach Wooden, UCLA Anderson School of Management was privileged to establish the John Wooden Global Leadership Program. As part of the program, UCLA Anderson presents the John Wooden Global Leadership Award each year. The award honors an exceptional leader who embodies the special qualities and generosity of spirit of the Coach in both community and business. To date, Howard Schultz, Chairman and CEO of Starbucks, Kenneth Chenault, Chairman and CEO of American Express Company and Frederick W. Smith, Chairman, President and CEO of FedEx are the recipients of the John Wooden Global Leadership Award.
"I am deeply saddened by the loss of Coach John Wooden, who inspired us all through his leadership values and wonderful outlook on life," said UCLA Anderson Dean Judy Olian upon learning of the passing of Coach Wooden. "The entire UCLA Anderson community expresses our heartfelt sympathies to the Wooden family. We're privileged that he is the namesake of the John Wooden Global Leadership Program at UCLA Anderson, which each year bestows the John Wooden Global Leadership Award to a leader who exemplifies the Coach's special qualities. He'll be missed terribly, but his gift to future generations is his legacy of values-driven leadership."
In 2008, as part of the inaugural Wooden Global Leadership Award presentation, Coach Wooden participated in a pair of interviews with Andy Serwer of Fortune.

There is just so far Hannity can take this on his own. He does not have a literary editor on staff. The National Review does. So do the Weekly Standard and the Washington Times. For reasons not fully clear to me, they have chosen to turn their back on this whole topic for the last two-plus years.
If, however, these journals continue to ignore the fact that a leading candidate has publicly accused the sitting president of massive literary fraud, they deserve to be taken no more seriously than the Daily Kos.

Salena Zito: Conventions' importance waning
Editor's note: Salena Zito filed this column before heading to Tampa, where she'll be covering the Republican National Convention this week.
America's first political convention was held in Baltimore in 1832 by the little-known Anti-Masonic Party — which, oddly, nominated William Wirt, who once was a Mason.
The anti-Masons were a single-issue movement opposed to what then constituted Washington's establishment. While they did introduce the modern convention system, in which locally elected delegates choose state candidates with a pledge of loyalty, their party became extinct pretty darned quickly.
At the time, candidates typically were nominated by a caucus of members of Congress. When populist Andrew Jackson denounced the "corrupt bargain" among John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay and the House, it kept him from the presidency in 1824 — but it pushed conventions into what they are today.
Over the next two weeks, Democrats and Republicans will continue the tradition of party conventions — Republicans this week in Tampa, Democrats immediately after Labor Day in Charlotte.
The question many experts ponder is, why?
"We used to pick nominees and vice presidents at them, but no longer," said Clemson University political scientist David Woodard. To him, conventions are just "expensive extravaganzas that most Americans don't watch except one night — the Thursday-night speech of the party's nominee."
Historical data show that conventions don't matter, according to Larry Sabato, the University of Virginia's iconic political scientist.
"Because of these late, back-to-back conventions with no drama, the audiences for convention coverage are going to be down overall," he predicted. "Except for the hard partisans, few will ever see 90 percent of the convention speeches that so much is being made about."
With the advent of several hundred cable-TV channels, Americans are not forced to watch conventions as in decades past. Baby boomers grew up with gavel-to-gavel coverage on all three broadcast networks, with no alternatives except going out to a movie or watching reruns of "Your Show of Shows" on the local VHF channel.
Sabato said he cannot imagine that political parties will continue holding extremely expensive, weeklong conventions for much longer. "The Democrats have already cut a full day off the schedule," he noted.
And, as the broadcast networks continue to cut back coverage, public interest will continue to wane, he said, "unless we have a super-close primary finish like 1976's Gerry Ford-Ronald Reagan race that temporarily revives the original purpose of a convention."
With today's 50-50 partisan split in politics, many Americans will tune in to cheer for their team. The debates, however, are more likely to draw voters who have not been following politics as religiously as the loyalists do.
The 2012 election is mainly a battle between the two party bases, said Sabato. "The job of each party is to enthuse the base, contact them repeatedly in myriad ways, and make sure they vote."
The relatively small number of undecideds who actually do make a decision late in the campaign and turn out to vote will split between the two candidates, he predicted.
Sabato said those undecideds do not move en masse to one side. And, except in a very close election, they do not decide the results.
The political Kremlinologists of the press are analyzing the speakers' line-up for both conventions as though those actually mattered. Yet, for every aspiring politician such as Barack Obama, whose keynote speech at the Democrats' 2004 convention launched him nationally, there are a hundred other speakers who will have no impact at all.
Even Bill Clinton, as a young Arkansas governor, was a dud with his first convention speech to Democrats in 1988. Attendees cheered at the end of his long, rambling performance because it was finally over, not because they were inspired.
Next week, Clinton is slated to come back as a bit of a savior for the Obama convention, in an effort to help stop the bleeding-away from the president of frustrated Democrats.
OK, his speech may be a big hit in the convention hall, and he may well make a good case for Obama's re-election, said Sabato. "But how many extra votes does that win, with the convention mainly watched by partisans and a big football game competing for audience?"
Clinton's appearance may simply remind Americans of how much better things were for them economically in the 1990s, as contrasted to today.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
If the Headlamp fuse is good (power on both sides) & you have varified Voltage in & out of the switch, then it would have to be:a) Groundb) Head Light bulbsc) Wiringd) Plugs at Head Lights
I would want to double check Voltage into the Switch with a Meter & at the Head Light plugs.
Your post was:<< Headlights, brights and dims won't work,>>
So if you are holding the Light switch to "bright" & the lights come on, then the Switch is still bad.
The Diagram I posted, shows there is no other components connected. The flow goes thru the Multi Function Switch.Verify Voltage into switch & out with the switch in Low Beam position.

Premier: Mao Chi-kuo (2014)
Land area: 12,456 sq mi (32,261 sq km); total area: 13,892 sq mi (35,980 sq km)
Population (2014 est.): 23,359,928 (growth rate: 0.25%); birth rate: 8.55/1000; infant mortality rate: 4.49/1000; life expectancy: 79.84
Capital (2014 est.): Taipei, 6,950,646 (metro. area), 2,693,672 (city proper)

Monetary unit: New Taiwan dollar
The Republic of China today consists of the island of Taiwan, an island 100 mi (161 km) off the Asian mainland in the Pacific; two off-shore islands, Kinmen (Quemoy) and Matsu; and the nearby islets of the Pescadores chain. It is slightly larger than the combined areas of Massachusetts and Connecticut.
Multiparty democracy.
Taiwan was inhabited by aborigines of Malayan descent when Chinese from the areas now designated as Fukien and Kwangtung began settling it in the 7th century, becoming the majority. The Portuguese explored the area in 1590, naming it "the Beautiful" (Formosa). In 1624 the Dutch set up forts in the south, the Spanish in the north. The Dutch forced out the Spanish in 1641 and controlled the island until 1661, when Chinese general Koxinga took it over and established an independent kingdom. The Manchus seized the island in 1683 and held it until 1895, when it passed to Japan after the first Sino-Japanese War. Japan developed and exploited Formosa. It was the target of heavy American bombing during World War II, and at the close of the war the island was restored to China.
After the defeat of its armies on the mainland, the Nationalist government of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan in Dec. 1949. Chiang dominated the island, even though only 15% of the population consisted of the 1949 immigrants, the Kuomintang. He maintained a 600,000-man army in the hope of eventually recovering the mainland. Beijing viewed the Taiwanese government with suspicion and anger, referring to Taiwan as a breakaway province of China.
The UN seat representing all of China was held by the Nationalists for over two decades before being lost in Oct. 1971, when the People's Republic of China was admitted and Taiwan was forced to abdicate its seat to Beijing.

Nevada Ends Five-Game Skid Against Oregon
The University of Nevada women's basketball team defeated Oregon 76-74 Wednesday evening to end a five-game losing streak.
The University of Nevada women's basketball team (3-4, 0-0 MW) will close out its two-game road trip Sunday afternoon at Oregon (0-6, 0-0 Pac 12) 2 p.m. at Matthew Knight Arena. Nevada trails the overall series 1-4 and will look to record its first win on the Ducks home floor. The Wolf Pack won the last meeting 76-74 during the 2011-12 season, on the late game heroics of Kate Kevorken who hit a shot at the buzzer to win it.
Freshman forward Jillian Alleyne leads Oregon with 14.2 ppg and 14.8 rpg. The Ducks will be looking for their first win on the year, as they have lost six straight to start the season.
The University of Nevada women's basketball team began a two-game road trip with a 70-61 loss to Portland Friday evening at the Chiles Center. Wolf Pack junior Danika Sharp got Nevada out to a 10-7 lead with some strong shooting from beyond the three point line. A jumper by Portland center Erin Boettcher gave the Pilots a lead of 14-13 at the 12:23 mark. Portland stretched its lead to 11 before the Pack climbed within three on consecutive made free throws by Sharp. Portland responded with eight unanswered points and never looked back, winning the game 70-61.

So how does the whole BSkyB thing play out?
For many people, the idea that any corporation - especially one that is owned by someone with an outspoken personal political agenda - is not a fit and proper owner for a media company that has with the monopolistic reach that News Corp enjoys.
Breaking Murdoch's stranglehold over political discourse is a hugely important milestone and one that it unlikely to be passed for the forseeable. There's too much at stake here.
If he still wants to take over BSkyB (it may not be as cheap as he'd like it to be), it means that he has been weakened in relation to the current government.
Jeremy Hunt would be able to drop his pants, spread he legs and touch his toes in public with more dignity than he'll muster in agreeing to News Corps demands now, but as long as the price is right, I'm sure he'll have to do it. They already risked major friction in the coalition by shafting Vince Cable over this, and Hunt detests the BBC sufficiently to play ball here.
The point is - and this is good for the Tories - the price just went up.
So: Rebekah Wade will not be given up lightly. When she is sacked, it will be a means of drawing a line under the story.
Once the fuss has blown over, Hunt will give the whole thing the go-ahead. And any hopes Labour had of not being savaged relentlessly by the Murdoch press over the next four years are now gone.

Well the Sun/Times etc did let up in the mid- late 90's because Murdoch felt the Tories were dead in the water at that point and NL were happy to pick up Ma Thatcher's flag and carry on with the 'Trash Society'agenda which Murdoch had done so much to found. He has no particular loyalty, only that he and his family be allowed to dominate media on an increasing basis. I'm sure he has wider political ambitions but he's too ill and the juniors are not that savvy. Thank God!!

@Ivan the Murdoch press supported the Blair Labour Party from some time around '96 onwards. Can't remember when they officially stopped telling their readers to vote Labour, 2005 possibly?

The 9/11 truth is out on the internet.
This is the truth: The WTC was destroyed by 3 underground thermo-nuclear explosions. They were detonated by the US government which used this as an excuse to lead the US and its allies into invading Afghanistan and Iraq. All these wars and deaths were based on a lie.
Goebbels: "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
Will you help to tell the truth to the world?
Be sure to watch the 26 part video there.
#4 is on the built-in nuclear demolition scheme of the WTC
#14 in on Building 7, which collapsed even though no plane hit it.
#24/25 is on the chronic radiation sickness of the WTC responders

TROP-2, also referred to as tumor associated calcium signal transducer 2 (TACSTD2), GA733-1 or M1S1, is a cell surface glycoprotein highly expressed in a wide variety of epithelial cancers. In contrast, there is little or no expression of Trop-2 in adult somatic tissue. Because it is a cell surface protein that is selectively expressed in tumor cells, Trop-2 is a potential therapeutic target. The cytoplasmic tail of Trop-2 possesses potential serine and tyrosine phosphorylation sites and a phosphatidyl-inositol binding consensus sequence. Trop-2 transduces an intracellular calcium signal, are consistent with the hypothesis that it acts as a cell surface receptor and support a search for a physiological ligand. TROP2 encoding by an intronless gene was originally defined by the monoclonal antibody GA733, and is a member of a family of at least two type I membrane proteins. The other known member is GA733-2, also called EpCAM and TROP1. It has been suggested by studies that the GA733-1 gene was formed by the retroposition of the GA733-2 gene via an mRNA intermediate.

GLEN ROSE — It happened again.
For the second consecutive year, Copperas Cove saw a stellar season come to an end in the area round of the playoffs. After earning the program's first undefeated district championship in 2012, Flower Mound earned a straight-set victory to eliminate the Lady Bulldawgs from the postseason.
Saturday afternoon, inside the same building, Hebron repeated the feat.
In a battle of state-ranked opponents, the No. 12 Lady Hawks beat No. 21 Copperas Cove 25-22, 25-22, 25-18 at Glen Rose's Tiger Arena, ending the Lady Bulldawgs' first 40-win season in school history.
After the match, Copperas Cove head coach Cari Lowery admitted the best team won.
"We didn't play great," she said. "We didn't play our best game, and in (Class) 5A playoffs, you can't even have one kid that has an average game. Everybody has to play their best every time."
For a majority of the match, Copperas Cove was playing from behind en route to being swept in a best-of-five match for the first time this season.
Hebron claimed an early 3-2 advantage before the Lady Bulldawgs used a 12-6 outburst to create a cushion. The Lady Hawks responded by winning 10 of the next 12 points, and Copperas Cove never completely recovered.
The Lady Bulldawgs never led again after going ahead 16-15 in the opening set as Hebron thwarted every comeback attempt for the duration of the match.
Part of the reason Copperas Cove (40-8) was unable to create any momentum stemmed from the fact it was being called for numerous infractions during the match, and the officiating caused players to alter their style, according to Lowery.
"I think the official took us out of our system a little bit with just random, crazy calls," she said. "That hurt us, and we started playing it a little safe, I think. We didn't know what was going to get called."
After clinching the first set, Hebron (36-11) pounced on the Lady Bulldawgs, immediately establishing a large lead by scoring eight unanswered points to begin the second set. Copperas Cove slowly chipped away at the deficit before going on an 8-2 run to pull within two points, 16-14, but the Lady Hawks quickly pushed their lead to 19-14 with three consecutive points.
Back-to-back kills from senior Bryaunea Hall got Copperas Cove within striking distance at 23-22, but the Lady Bulldawgs were called for a lift before a hitting error ended the set.
With its season on the line, Copperas Cove found itself trailing 12-6 to begin the third set, and Hebron was never truly threatened. The closest the Lady Bulldawgs got was five points, 23-18, before a serving error and a hitting error ended the match and Copperas Cove's season.
Although several Lady Bulldawgs had strong performances in the season finale, individual statistics mean little to Lowery.
"You couldn't separate one kid out of that (group)," she said. "It's a team (effort)."

In his Call to Action, the U.S. Surgeon General referred to obesity and overweight as "a public health issue that is among the most burdensome faced by the Nation" (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2001, p. 1).
Risk Factors
Over the past 3 decades, the percentage of overweight school-age children has nearly quadrupled (4% in 1965 to 15% in 2001). In addition, data collected as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (see "Resources" below) revealed that ethnic minority children and children from poorer families are at increased risk for overweight and obesity. For example, Mexican American and African American children and adolescents are twice as likely as their Caucasian peers to be overweight. Obesity is associated with a number of serious medical conditions including premature death, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, hypertension, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, gallbladder disease, asthma, breathing problems, cancer, and depression.
Prevention Strategies
The epidemic rate of obesity in this country is a major problem. However, it is important to recognize that obesity in many cases can be a preventable health condition. While many factors including genetic predisposition contribute to obesity, dietary behaviors and rates of physical activity are two major factors that can be modified. Schools, families, and communities can work together to alter the trend toward obesity. Teaching about healthy diet and the importance of maintaining a health activity level to young children is important as obesity is more easily prevented than treated. It is important to begin prevention efforts early in childhood because obesity in adolescence is the strongest predictor of obesity in adulthood. The following strategies are suggestions for parents and school personnel to work together to promote the health and well-being of our nation's children.
Prevention Strategies for Parents and Caregivers
- Be good role models. Show your children how important it is for all family members to make healthy food choices.
- Provide your children with healthy food choices. Provide snacks that are low in fat, sodium, and refined sugar and are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
- Encourage young children to develop good eating habits and preferences for healthful foods because eating behaviors that develop during childhood tend to track into adulthood.
- Do not prohibit your children from eating unhealthy foods. The key is moderation. Limit fast food.
- Watch your children's portion sizes and make sure the diet is consistent with the recommendations of the food guide pyramid.
- Consult your child's pediatrician or nurse to find out how much food your child should be eating if you are not sure what portion sizes are appropriate for your child, or consult the resource books listed below.
- Limit television viewing. Research suggests that increased television viewing is related to the development and maintenance of obesity. This is not surprising given the number of advertisements for unhealthy foods targeted at child consumers, the sedentary nature of watching TV, and the fact that most people eat while viewing TV.
- Encourage your children to be active, but ensure appropriate safety precautions. For example, make sure your children wear protective gear including a helmet when they ride a bike or roller blade.
- Work with community groups to develop safe walk-to-school programs if it is unsafe for your children to walk to school.
- Learn about supervised activities offered by after-school programs at schools and community centers if you live in a neighborhood that is unsafe for children to play in the street or on the playgrounds.
- Involve your children in food purchasing by taking your children food shopping and allowing them to help select healthy foods. Also, involve your in the food preparation process such as washing vegetables and pouring and stirring ingredients.
- Give your children specific praise for making healthy food choices. For example, "I like how you ate all of your spinach! It will make you very healthy and strong."
- Remember that food preferences develop over repeated exposure and time. Try to present new foods in small quantities and encourage your children to just take a bite at first. Over time, you can increase the portion size of the new food.
- Make sure your children try to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day, such as 100% fruit and vegetable juices and raw, cooked, canned, or dried fruits and vegetables. Easy accessibility to fruits and vegetables is important. Have fresh fruits and vegetables such as grapes and baby carrots washed and placed in a prominent location in the refrigerator.
- Be an advocate for your children at school. Does your school have a vending machine that allows children to purchase soda and candy at school? If so, speak with the principal and other administrators and the parent-teacher organization about the possibility of having the vending machine disperse water, 100% fruit or vegetable juice, milk, and healthier snacks (such as granola bars, boxes of raisins, graham crackers, and pretzels). This alternative enables the school to earn money, but not at the expense of its students' health.
- Suggest fresh fruits and vegetables and low-fat and skim milk be served in the cafeteria if it does not do so. Speak with the principal, food service administrators, and the parent-teacher organization.
- Discuss alternatives with fundraising organizers if your school engages in fundraising activities that encourage children to eat candy, chips, and other foods that contribute to childhood overweight and obesity. Suggest a fresh fruit sale.

Starting Thursday, 16 states will ban the sale of dishwasher detergents that contain high levels of phosphates, a source of pollution in lakes and streams.
Stores will not be allowed to sell detergent with more than 0.5 percent phosphorous. The bans do not apply to commercial dishwashing products, and detergents for hand-washing dishes generally contain no phosphorus.
States instituting the rule include Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin, reports the Associated Press.
Some areas such as Spokane County, Wash., have had such bans in place for years.
"Phosphorous is like a fertilizer. It increases algae and aquatic weed growth in water bodies," Bernie Duffy, natural resource specialist with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, told the AP. He said too much algae depletes oxygen needed for healthy fish and aquatic life.
Sewage treatment plants and private septic systems can remove much but not all of the phosphorous from wastewater, so some of it ends up in lakes, streams and rivers.
As a result of the ban, some familiar brands such as Cascade and Colgate-Palmolive are offering dish soaps with few or no phosphates.
Clorox has launched a Green Works product line that won the endorsement of the Sierra Club and Martha Stewart has developed a low-phosphate "Clean" line with Hain Celestial Brand, reports Environmental Leader, which says eco-friendly brands such as Seventh Generation and Method have gained in popularity.
Wendy Koch has been a reporter and editor at USA TODAY since 1998, covering politics and social issues. She's begun a quest to build the most eco-friendly home her budget allows. She'll share her experience and give you tips for greening your home. More about Wendy

Message from the President: Student achievements
April 28, 2009
Dear alumni friends,
On a college campus spring is a time of celebration, and the other day we did some serious celebrating. It occurred to me that our alumni might be interested in hearing about the accomplishments of some of our soon-to-be alums.
The day started with a formal recognition of ASHLEY GRAYBILL of Waukesha, Wis., who in March became just the sixth national track champion in St. Norbert history. Ashley won, pulling away in the grueling 800-meter run in the NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships in Terre Haute, Ind. Beyond her track accomplishments, Ashley is a fine student and has worked in the college's Human Resources office, a position that requires not only capability but sensitivity. The HR folks love her and will miss her when she graduates in a few weeks.
Then that evening, academic vice president and dean of the college Mike Marsden presided over our annual awards banquet in which we honor our students' outstanding academic achievements. And once again, as they came up to receive summa cum laude medals and faculty honors, these students just bowled us over with their accomplishments -- in the classroom, of course, but also beyond it. They are truly well-rounded young men and women who are, as the Norbertines challenge us all to be, "prepared for every good work."
There are far too many honorees to cite here, but I thought a small sample would convey at least an idea of the kind of high-caliber students we are pleased to be educating at St. Norbert College:
RYAN PAVLIK, of Green Bay, graduates with not one or two but three majors: Spanish, computer science and math -- all within four years! He has studied abroad in Spain, worked with Google's Summer of Code, and maintains his own technical consulting company. Ryan's senior project is the development of hardware and software that enable multi-touch interaction with computers. He's been accepted into the Ph.D. program for human-computer interaction at Iowa State.
Biology major ERIN REINL, of Appleton, has conducted research at the University of Iowa in cellular and molecular biology, which has implications for understanding autoimmune disorders and lymphomas. She completed a co-op position with Kimberly-Clark, and this fall she will begin a research position at Iowa in two labs studying intracellular pathways relating to cancer and deafness.
STEVEN SLEEP, an accounting major from Thunder Bay, Ontario, will graduate with 150 credit hours and be eligible to sit for the CPA exam. He was a four-time letter winner on the hockey team, including its national championship season. And he graduates with a job in-hand at the Wipfli accounting and consulting firm.
DARRYL WESENER, from Manawa, Wis., is a chemistry major with a concentration in biochemistry. He has done research at UW-Madison as well as at St. Norbert, and he received our Phi Delta Theta Educational Foundation Scholarship for Excellence in Science. Darryl has been accepted to numerous Ph.D. programs in chemistry, but he is leaning toward the graduate program in biochemistry at UW-Madison.
CULLEN BRAUN, of Green Bay, maintained straight A's in both his mathematics and physics majors. He has served as a teaching assistant in both disciplines, and he has done several internships in engineering. Cullen is planning to enroll in a graduate program in mechanical engineering this fall, and he's in the process of deciding which graduate school he will attend.
AUDREY ALANA O'HERN, from Sturgeon Bay, Wis., is a double major in communication/media studies and art, the latter with an emphasis in graphic design. She enriched her studies by working as the graphic design intern at the Leadership Development, Service and Engagement Office, and by completing a freelance project for a local company. Work like this earned Audrey the respect of the art faculty, who named her winner of the Daniel Dickhut Art Award.
REBECCA MELIS, from Appleton, is an elementary education major with minors in math and English as a Second Language. She has volunteered as a reading tutor and a writing mentor. Becky has worked as a camp counselor for young children with ADHD as well as a camp counselor for adolescents at Syble Hopp School. Becky is also a member of the St. Norbert women's basketball team. She is seeking a teaching job in grades 1 through 8.
Political science and sociology double major SARAH GOODMAN, of Sun Prairie, Wis., is a summa cum laude student who, at the same time, is continuously involved in campus and community activities. These include working as an athletics trainer, volunteering in an assisted-living facility, and interning for Congressman Steve Kagen. Sarah completed American University's Justice Program in Washington, D.C., and studied abroad in Rome. Sarah has been accepted to the George Mason University School of Law in Washington, D.C.
Congratulations and Godspeed to all these outstanding young men and women. Their accomplishments do credit to us all.

David T. Handwerk
114 Evergreen Drive
Age: 54.
Occupation: Retired teacher from Orrville City Schools, spring 2007. Presently working with Steve Handwerk Painting.
Qualifications: "I am a lifetime resident of Orrville and former Red Rider with a true love for this community. I have worked in factories, taught in our schools and painted many homes in Orrville. Over the 18-year period, I also coached many track and field athletes at OHS. The past 18 years, I have served as a city councilman and president of city council the past 12 years. Orrville is a great place to love and raise a family."
Response: "1) Our budget for street repair cannot handle the amount of streets that need attention. We must continue to pursue grant money and possibly put off other projects to help catch up on street repair.
"2) Our public utilities are a great asset to Orrville. We must keep up with EPA regulations and continue to operate with reasonable rates.
"3) Truck re-route: Much thought and many meetings, with public input will be key to any solution in this area."
Dennis E. Landaw
1820 W. High St.
Age: 46.
Occupation: Construction laborer.
Qualifications: "I am a 1979 graduate of OHS and WCSCC. My parents moved to Orrville in the mid-1950s to work and start our family. They demonstrated to me caring for others, serving our community, and treating all people equally. Their example has led me to serve our citizens and be involved in and around this community in many different opportunities over the years. One such opportunity is serving the citizens in my fourth term on Orrville City Council. I am a member of Christ United Church of Christ, Orrville. I am the pastor of St. Peter's United Church of Christ, Baltic."
Response: "One of the most pressing problems facing Orrville is that many people have lost trust in city officials and the democratic process established to govern this community. We need to tear down the old barriers that keep people out.
Many individuals and groups have good ideas and energies to address community needs and to move Orrville forward. I believe that together we can rebuild trust by working together, inviting all to the table and empowering people to make a difference.
"Together we can preserve the qualities of Orrville today with a bold new focus on our future!"
Council president
Lyle E. Baker
1490 Willard Drive
Age: 59.
Occupation: Manager of sales, Quality Castings Co.
Qualifications: "At-large member of Orrville City Council since 2003; council president pro-tempore 2007; chairman of transportation committee since 2003; secretary of ordinance and personnel committee since 2003; member of planning committee since 2003; Orrville Area Boys & Girls Club Board since 1997; Orrville Area United Way Board since 2005; past member of Orrville Salvation Army Board; committed longtime community volunteer."
Response: "Many of the streets in our town are in poor shape and need considerable repair work. We need to continue to search for grants to help fund street projects. If enough funds cannot be acquired we may have to consider long-term loans to complete the necessary large item projects. I think that a modest increase in the city income tax is warranted if other capital improvement sources cannot be found. My wish is that my grandchildren can grow up sharing my pride in our beautiful city."
Denny Miller
1773 Blackberry Lane
Age: 54.
Occupation: Retired pastor.
Qualifications: "I am currently Orrville City Council representative for Ward 4. I was youth and contemporary worship pastor at Trinity United Methodist Church in Orrville prior to my retirement. I have also been regional manager and assistant vice president with R.L. Polk & Co.
"I'm a graduate of the University of Akron with a degree in business administration. I earned my master of divinity degree at Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond, Va. I am secretary of Orrville Ministerial Association and past corporate board member of the Orrville Boys & Girls Club. I'm also a member of Orrville Turningpoint Coalition."
Response: "As council president, I will focus on getting the public more involved in public forum at the meetings. As a member of all committees, I will promote the work of my colleagues and unify council around the important initiatives they bring forth. Being retired, I can devote most of my time to this position at City Hall and in the community. My passion for public safety, fiscal responsibility and a vibrant, diverse economy burns brightly."
Council at large (elect 1)
Ricardo T. Aspiras Sr.
121 N. Elm St.
Age: 45.
Occupation: Quality and continuous improvement manager.
Qualifications: "Orrville resident with wife, Holly, and four children, Ricardo Jr., Desiree, Maria and Sophia. BS in industrial technology, University of Southern Maine; certified Six Sigma Black Belt; 27 years in manufacturing, and positions held are quality and continuous improvement manager (current), quality management representative, Alcoa Business System manager, manufacturing engineering manager, maintenance manager, staff manager, industrial engineer, Kaizen leader and trainer, production supervisor; Lean Manufacturing training in Japan; 1998 Orrville Area Boys & Girls Club Volunteer of the Year; video technician volunteer at West Hill Baptist Church (services televised on Wooster local channel); Bald Eagle volunteer, Ohio Division of Wildlife."
Response: "We do face some current tough times with rising costs such as elevated fossil fuels and medical care along with the trickle-down products and services that follow. To add to this state and federal funding has been shrinking. With these strains Orrville needs to preserve the good things we have and continually improve in all areas of opportunities. In doing so, we have to engage the citizens of Orrville, be wise and efficient in city management, and thrifty in how we spend all revenues."
Ward 1 (elect 1)
Richard Corfman
418 S. Walnut St.
Age: 48.
Occupation: Customer service representative, Will-Burt Co.
Qualifications: "I have completed two full terms as council representative for Ward 1, working toward improving our public power and services to our community. I have lived and worked in this area all my life and am familiar with the industries we have and the ones that we could attract. I graduated from the University of Akron, with a bachelor of science in industrial management, human resources (Magna Cum Laude). I am a member and treasurer of Trinity United Methodist Church.

1962 Crestview Drive
Age: 54.
Occupation: Material handling and storage analyst working with business and industry in Orrville and surrounding counties.
Qualifications: "Lifetime resident of Orrville; 30 years of business experience; served on Orrville Planning Commission and special council committees; Orrville Boys & Girls Club project volunteer; Orrville Youth Baseball coach, 10 years; OHS Booster Club member and project volunteer; father, sister and father-in-law have all served on city council; have lived in Ward 3 for past 17 years."
Response: "I believe a priority issue is how the city will continue to provide quality services such as utilities, streets, and parks, at the lowest possible cost. Local government must deal with increasing operational costs that are generally outside of its control, such as energy, fuel, materials and unfunded mandates, while meeting residents' needs.
"One part of the solution is to continue to be more efficient. I offer my business experience for working with the council and administration in this area. The second part of the solution is to increase revenue by expanding the community's job base and what I call " exceeded word limit.
Kelly Stewart
222 Maple St.
Age: 31.
Occupation: Stay-at-home-mom; nursery coordinator.
Qualifications: "I have a B.A. in elementary education from Wheaton College and a M.S. in elementary literacy from Walden University. I taught elementary school for eight years at Apple Creek Elementary. As a social studies teacher, I educated students about our local, state, and national governments while encouraging their own participation in the democratic process. I am currently the nursery coordinator at Wooster Grace Brethren Church. I am a lifetime resident of Wayne County and a taxpaying homeowner."
Response: "Orrville is facing some big decisions, the outcomes of which have the potential to affect the character of the community. The energy needs of the city are increasing while citizens are growing more concerned about rising energy costs and the environment. There are a lot of great ideas for improving the city, but the budget is limited and discernment is needed. I can be both realistic and optimistic about Orrville's future. I will provide a fresh new set of ears to listen to the ideas and concerns of the citizens and represent them in council."

Strowan Canterbury 8052
Peter Platts
144 Cranford Street
St Albans Canterbury 8014
New Zealand's second largest city, Christchurch is a region full of heritage and history and is host to a number of festivals and events throughout the year.
The 'Garden City' has seen much change over the past few years, but one thing remains the same – if you live in this beautiful city, you can have access to quality dental care with the Dental Care Network (DCN) qualified practitioners. When you go to a DCN dentist, you can be assured you'll be receiving a high standard of comprehensive service.
When it comes to supporting the oral health of you and your family, the DCN recommends planning to visit your local dentist in Christchurch at least once every six months. This allows your dentist to keep a watchful eye on any developing issues, allowing them to take action before they can become serious conditions.
In order to have a more in depth understanding of your personalised oral healthcare needs, your DCN dentist may reference your medical history before conducting a thorough dental examination.
You'll also undergo a deep teeth cleaning, which will help to clear away plaque from any hard-to-reach spots you may miss with regular brushing or flossing.
By maintaining a good relationship with your local dentist, you can rest assured that you and your family can keep your teeth healthy for years to come.
The DCN has spent years building a comprehensive network of dentists across New Zealand and Australia. There are over 200 DCN dental practitioners, with each member having an average of at least 15-20 years of experience in the industry.
This is why when you choose a DCN dentist, you know you'll be receiving quality care from an experienced professional.
In addition, the DCN understands the significant financial investment dental care can represent for a lot of families, which is why a number of dentists offer various payment schemes and incentives to provide financial assistance, as well as accepting various major health plans. Your DCN dentist in Christchurch will be more than happy to discuss your options with you.
A dental emergency can occur at any time, not just during regular opening hours. Whether it's a chipped tooth or a jaw injury, if you or someone in your family should find themselves in a situation where they require urgent dental attention, you can rest easy knowing that several DCN dentists also offer out of hours emergency care for their patients.
Make sure you speak to your Christchurch dentist about emergency dental care at your next appointment, to give you the peace of mind that help will be close at hand when you or a loved one needs it most.

New York collected $12.6 billion in taxes through May, 25.8 percent higher than collections during the same period last year and $360 million more than budget projections, state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli reports today. The increase was largely due to non-recurring estimated personal income-tax payments in April, his May Cash Report said. The April payments primarily were driven by federal tax hikes in January, and this level of growth likely won't continue, it said.
"With tax collections $360 million more than projections, we are seeing some positive signs for the budget," DiNapoli said. "The state collected $30 million from the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe, the first payment from Native American casinos since June 2010, and it appears that payments from other Native-American casinos are coming in the future. Sales and business tax collections are both showing strong growth so far this year. Still, the state should proceed with caution. June marks the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year, and tax collections reported in the next cash report will be a better indicator of current economic conditions."
Tax collections were up for most taxes, including personal income taxes, business taxes and consumption taxes. Business tax collections were up $255.6 million or 55.3 percent, which was $31.5 million higher than projections. That was in large part due to increased audit collections. Consumption taxes rose $92.7 million — 4.2 percent and $12 million higher than projected.
All Governmental Funds spending increased 18 percent, or just under $3 billion, compared to last year, primarily due to local assistance payments. The General Fund closing balance was $3.7 billion, $287.9 million higher than budget projections. Receipts were $448.9 million higher than anticipated and $161 million more in spending than was projected.
The state also received $2.2 billion more in federal aid than expected, or 42.3 percent, partly due to payments for disaster assistance.
Other taxes decreased $30.8 million — 5.4 percent — and were $6 million lower budget projections.
Operations costs for state agencies increased $540.1 million — 20.5 percent — and were $69.1 million higher than projections. Debt service declined $143.3 million, although it was $25.8 million above projections. Capital spending increased $208.1 million, $86.5 million lower than projections. All Funds spending was $103.1 million over Enacted Budget projections.
The General Fund is the state's main operating fund, while all funds includes general, special revenue, debt service and capital projects funds, as well as federal aid.

I don't know if you remember me since you left, for like, a year, but I'm Summer from THG Wiki, and I just kinda wanted to stop by and say hi since...I remember you and stuff, but like, you probably don't remember me, yet again, so I just wanted to re-introduce myself just in case. I was friends with Jackie, btw. :3Loading editor

Same as Summer, i don't know if you remember me back in 2012-13 but i remember you (not anything creepy) you were just known by everyone, i hope to see much more of you becuase it is always great to see an oldie back :3Loading editor
He was also an admin on this wiki.
He got the rights along with Bee.Loading editor
Yeah, me and him were actually pretty good friends but idk if he remembers bc it was me, Jackie, Vin, and Julia as this friend group thingy...but once again, idk if he even remembers any of that late 2012 to early 2013 stuff...Loading editor
Of course I remember you, Summer. I remember you, Jackie and I talking about the 22 music video in the HG wiki chat (among other things about Taylor and how like half of the wiki hated her and we had to defend her every single time). And I'm pretty sure you were around when I became friends with Julia also. I don't know why you thought that I forgot about you since we used to talk very often around 2012. Anyway, it's great to see you again!
Misytmolla (Idk what to call you ;-;), I remember you too. You were also around early 2013, weren't you? I guess I met you just sometime after I met Kekai, Julia and Erlend. I never talked to you that much, but hey, it isn't late yet xDLoading editor
i didn't really talk much back then :3 I remember you becuase you were one of the users who everyone knew like Anna and Erlend. Also, i don't know if you want to go beck on the HG wiki but if you do be sure to check on LightStones new games since he i doing an all-star thing and some of your tributes from the past games have been placed in them, if you do not want to go in i will tell him and he will let someone else mentor your tributes, just becuase they will start soon (sorry if i sound like a nag ;-;)
Hopefully i will see much more of you, i love seeing oldies back :3Loading editor
Thanks for informing me, I will of course read them :) But I'll just let other people mentor them, because I might be unable to mentor them and it would let them without advice...Loading editor
Omg, I'm so glad you do. It's awesome to see you around again, Vinny! :3
And I'm also really happy that you're still a fan of Taylor Swift, 'cause I am too. Do you know why Jackie left, btw?Loading editor
I used to know, but I forgot... Pretty sure it was because of school.Loading editor

My game, The 76th Hunger Games: Panem Forever have started up again! Please try and be active and cheer on your tributes Arvird Autumn and Grafite Mallence.Loading editor

Hey, so you submitted Billie into my Hunger Games on the other wiki and I was just curious about what his brother's name is. I'm rewriting the reaping point of views, since I want to improve the writing on them, and I was just curious so I could include his name. Please tell me as soon as possible!Loading editor

Hey, I was just asking if you could change something to do with the bar on the top (the On the Wiki bar thing). Well, If you go to the tab of "Tributes" and then go to "Other Districts", Capitol is located there, but for some reason, there's no page for this. However, there is a page for The Capitol. Could you like just add the "The" in "The Capitol" so there's a proper link to the page.
Sorry if this was confusing, I was just looking around and noticed that and was wondering if you could change that. If you need a better explanation, I'll tell you later. I'm just a rush right now and quickly wanted to send this to you.Loading editor
Oh yes, I understood that. Sorry for the incovenience, I am going to change that right now. Thanks in advance for advicing.Loading editor
Loading editor
Or did you win along with Bee/ Pippy?Loading editor
Yeah, I was promoted along with Bee. xDLoading editor
Updated Honeysickle's backstory!Loading editor
It is very good now!Loading editor

Hey it has come to my attention that there are two tributes that won the TOTM (Azalea Firethorn and Scorpio Flame) that do not have the Tribute of the Month category on their page. Could you please add that, since it did say one needs an admins consent to add that specific category.Loading editor
Of course, doing it right now! :)Loading editor
Loading editor
Just thought I would tell you, congrats on becoming an admin! ;3 I'm sure you will do great.Loading editor
Thanks Pippy! :3 I'm ashamed that I didn't congratulate you when I saw, but anyway congratulations for becoming admin too!Loading editor
That's alright. Thanks! :3Loading editor
Loading editor
Ok, so if you are seeing this, just ignore... These are the things that I plan to fulfill while being an admin:
1. Continue with the Auction.
2. More guides for new users.
3. Message users about their unfinished tributes.
4. Check uncategorized pages and unused categories.
5. Talk with Pippy and Ryan about TOTM.
6. Somehow promote the wiki outside the Wikia (and raise our WAM ranking).
7. Do the Category guide.
8. Update the Districts' pages. 9. Do Stats and Achievements of the Wiki.

He was not released until the accession of Mary, parliament restoring his dukedom on his petition for reversal of the attainder.
The two fugitives were proceeded against by bill of attainder.
Three years later Carr's attainder shifted it over once again.
The House of Lords approved the bill of attainder, and it was sent to the king.
A bill of attainder was passed against them in the time of the second George.
The process by attainder practically suppressed any defence.
In fact, it was the intention of the bill of attainder to brand the wretched object of it with complete and perpetual infamy.
The consequences of attainder, are forfeiture and corruption of blood.
No Bill of attainder, or ex-post-facto law, shall be passed.
By his attainder the Norfolk titles were once more forfeited.

Essex University hopes to train more future sporting stars after being selected for a national scholarship programme.
The Colchester campus has been chosen as an accredited centre for the Sport England Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme (TASS).
The scheme aims to enable elite athletes to fulfil their potential.
Dr Dave Parry, the university's performance sport director, said: "TASS has supported many athletes to achieve success at the highest levels of international sport, such as skeleton bobsleigh champion Shelley Rudman and Olympic champion in the women's coxless pairs Helen Glover.
"With the re-launch of TASS as a Sport England programme, our selection as an accredited centre reaffirms our status as a university that is capable of supporting the most talented young athletes in the country.
"It is also a perfect fit with our athlete-centred package of support services that we offer sports scholarship students."

Which way to look? At the terrific pub grub or the astonishing harbour view?
Woolwich Pier Hotel
After complaints from a reader in Forest Lodge, it has been decided to kill off Popsi Bubblehead. She gets in the way of the food, said a certain Mr Trenton Kleinsteife. And indeed she did; those elbows could take your eye out.
So, gone she is. Along with Ardyn Fast and all the rest. So when you read that I fed my face in Woolwich recently I most definitely did not go with my old mate Dick Dazzle. I went with "a dining companion".
And he did most definitely not look at the colourful upstairs lounge area of the Woolwich Pier Hotel and say: "Looks like Carson Kressley [from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy] has been through here."
And so without further ado, it's straight to the food. The menu is extensive. There's an all-day menu full of steak sandwiches with chips, chicken burgers with chips, fish burgers with chips, and chips with chips (aka spicy wedges) but, with the soccer season looming, it seems best to stick to the healthier bistro menu.
This, my dining companion and I study from our seats on the balcony. At least, we do when we aren't admiring the view, which must be one of the most spectacular in Sydney across the water to Cockatoo Island and beyond. To our right, the Gladesville Bridge, to our left, the city sparkling in the distance.
The dining companion, infected with my desire to eschew carbs, chooses to start with a vine-ripened tomato salad with bocconcini, olives and basil, followed by pepper crust tuna steak.
On a pizza, the salad ingredients are called a margherita, on a plate they're often known as a caprese; either way the presence on a plate of a tasty ripe tomato with good quality bocconcini and fresh basil is one of those mergers of ingredients that approaches the sublime.
And such is the case here. There is a drizzle of olive oil around the ingredients, which is in turn sprinkled with a little balsamic vinegar. Personally, I never feel the need for the balsamic as I believe it interferes in some way with the tomato but that really is just me being picky. My dining companion loves it.
He also loves his tuna steak, which is cooked to a perfect beige on the outside and juicy pink on the inside and is perched on a collection of crispy green beans, pine nuts and a few slivers of parmesan. Perfect, yet again.
I find it hard to get through the huge rocket salad which is tossed with toasted hazelnuts, slices of nectarine and crumblings of goat's cheese. It is a good mixture of tastes but I feel that someone has slightly over-drizzled the oil.
Perhaps this is because the swordfish lightly grilled to a tender juiciness comes with a couple of slow-roasted tomatoes, basil leaves and (yet more) virgin olive oil. I suspect this is not the best combination of dishes to have chosen but that's my fault, not the chef's.
The food's terrific and the views astonishing but the makeover of the hotel into a kind of Ikea chic has left it feeling smart but a little characterless. Then again, we're on the inside looking out, not the other way around, so it doesn't matter as much.

I was dx with RA 4 ye ars ago with sero-negative RA and was doing pretty good on humira but then I was injured on the job & had to have two operations. My employer fired me while I was out hurt and so no more insurance! Of course, I can't afford humira or doctors appt. w/o insurance! Since I have been off humira I have had new symptoms... ankle & knee swelling with severe pain if I stand for over an hour and two tendon tears without any injuries. Also in the past, I had a ligament in my shoulder and my ACL tore without any injury.Could these new symptoms be RA or something else?READ MORE
Can you have spontaneous ligament & tendon tears with RA?
This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
Yes, RA can effect all the supporting tissues...ligaments, tendons, cartilage. I am dealing with multiple-site tendonitis, DeQuervain's tendonitis, and bursitis in my shoulder. None injury related (although my rheumy suspects the antibiotic Levaquin may have contributed to the severe tendonitis).
Have you checked to see if you qualify for prescription assistance? There are several programs available. These websitesmight help:
Autoimmune Information NetworkIn April, the flexor tendon of my right pinkie finger tore spontaneously. My hand surgeon and rheumatologist said that patients with RA can have spontaneous tendon tears. I ended up having surgery, the tendon was reattached to my right ring finger tendon, my ulnar head was filed down and bone spurs were removed. I was told that since I no longer have any cushioning in my wrists, that the tendon constantly moving back and forth against the ulnar bone and spurs acted as a saw. Could you possibily get disability or sign up with Blue Cross/Blue Shield to get some coverage? I wish you all the best and pray that you will be able to get what you need. Stay positive! READ MORE
I have been to hell and back because of no health insurance. I have no health insurance but I found these first choice health clincs that see you on a sliding scale. They are taking super good care of me the docs have more compassion than I have ever seen before. The are there own heath care community and have their own specialist a office visit is 20 dollars and they have there own pharmacy to fill your scripts you get any medicine you need for cheap. I got 90 percocet for 5 dollars for the pain. Just a example. If I got health insurance I still would go no where else they are not instrested in money just people getting health care they need. My doc got me into a rhummy in two days because I was so bad it usually takes months. They are called first choice here in albuquerque look it up they may have them they are usually asso with univirsity hospitals like univirsity of New Mexico if there is no first choice there may be some other clincs like it near your state university.READ MORE
more thoughts: In my research into supplements for RA I came across info that MSM heals Tendons. Make sure to use only the pure powder as it can be contaminated when it is produced overseas. I used Pure brand MSM powder. Nutracology makes vitamin C powder that is also of high quality and I used the unbuffered as I have a high tolarance for Acidic foods but they also make a buffered Vit C. which would be good for healing.
Have you heard of Colostrum? It is from the first milking of the cow and is used also for healing. New Life Symbiotic is a good brand and you might want to contact the company for info how to use it, but it may very well heal the tears to your ligaments / tendons.
I won't hurt you but if it works it has been known to make miracles.

I had what I believe was bursitis Of my left elbow. It had fluid and the skin expand in an abnormal way around the elbow with pain and freezing of the joint. It resolved and did not come back when I took Hydoplenish 1-2 capsules for a about a month. it can be purchased in the health food store. I have RA and control it with supplements and stretches and healing music. I have never taken immune suppressing meds. I did take every supplement imaginable in my frantic desire to control my life and the RA and all the symptoms that went with it . I have narrowed down what works and how to use foods and supplement to produce healing. I am happy to share what I have learned and hear about what works for you.
blessings for healing and good health,
