I found this ring in my house doing an addition to a room here in Mobile Alabama. I've been in the home for over 40 years. One website had a picture identical to that of the inside of ring, image 1, and indicated that the markings was that of Christian Marc Schmdt. It also stated that :
This was Christian Schmidt's mark on cast items
Christian Schmidt was a Minnesota studio jeweler who exhibited at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis in 1955. He did magnificent designs based on intricate plant and pod forms. He was a friend and colleague of Ruth Roach.
He exhibited at the 1956 "American Jewelry and Related Objects" competition in Rochester, New York where he won "Best in Class Awards" for a silver and gold pendant and a gold and ebony bracelet as well as a purchase prize for a silver bracelet. He also won awards at the 1959 Midwest Designer-Craftsmen competition and the 1958 and 1959 Minnesota State Fair Fine Arts Competitions.
He was considered to be one of the foremost designer-craftsmen in the United States during his short career and was one of twelve jewelers whose work was accepted for exhibition at the Brussels World's Fair.
His work is featured in both of my books, Modernist Jewelry, 1930-1960, The Wearable Art Movement and Form & Function, American Modernist Jewelry, 1940 - 1970 and was included in the exhibit "American Modernist Jewelry, 1940 - 1970" at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, 2008.
I'm curious about the value.

Breaking Games out of the Living Room
The realm of gaming is no longer restricted to your living room television set. That's why Ian Bogost, professor of interactive computing and media studies at the Georgia Institute of Technology, is trying to make gaming more common in areas outside of entertainment, like public policy and education.
"I'm trying to end the hype and lead to the normalcy of games," he said at a talk in the American University Museum on October 17.
Bogost spoke specifically about persuasive gaming—games that deliver messages and simulate experiences. One example he used was Fatworld, a video game he created that looks at obesity, nutrition, and socioeconomic factors. Players design their characters, including their weight, choose what environment they live in, and change public policies in regards to food. (Bogost said his daughter likes to ban broccoli.)
"This is the kind of game I love the idea of," he said. "It's a game that embraces the complexity of a sociopolitical issue and attempts to characterize it."
Bogost said in the past games haven't been used as tools, but more as art. Changing how people think of gaming is difficult, he added.
"We can't just snap our fingers and change the media environment," he said.
Games have long been associated with news, and according to Bogost, the ritual of doing the crossword puzzle and reading cartoons was an incentive to get the newspaper. But with the decline of newspapers, that connection is fading away.
"The point of entry has been lost and it's not being reinvented online," Bogost said.
One of the problems, he noted, is that games have to be created quickly and with some knowledge of game design. Some sites, like Game-O-Matic, are emerging to allow easy creation of games. Bogost compared these sites to a person with little knowledge of photography being able to easily create a photo with a point-and-shoot camera.
Bogost said the future of persuasive gaming lies in asking what purposes games can be used for, which changes the focus from the medium—games—to the content and what the games can achieve.
After the lecture, College of Arts and Sciences dean Peter Starr, who directed Bogost's honors thesis at the University of Southern California, said he was not surprised by the complexity of Bogost's talk.
"He was one of the students who took graduate-level classes as an undergrad," Starr said. "He was always thinking about 16 things at once."

Kristin Chenoweth Shares What's On Her Vanity
Lolly, the family poodle, lounges in the Dorothy Draper-influenced master bedroom. Galli chose the overscale Cole & Son wallpaper, Lily, for "the fairy-tale feeling." The lily pads and the Old World Weavers green velvet, Languedoc, on the headboard evoke the romance of a garden pond. The French Canopy chair from Artistic Frame is covered in Beacon Hill's In Between.
To bring a feeling of nature into a New York living room, designer Fawn Galli used a custom minty green: "I don't think a color should be too saturated or strong on a wall." Pal + Smith chairs in a cheetah print — Safari by Manuel Canovas — with a Paley sofa from Profiles, a Fiona Curran Palette carpet for the Rug Company, and a painting by Anne Siems give the room "a sense of storybook fantasy."

Sealy wide receiver Ricky Seals-Jones has managed to stay humble as the nation broadcasts his name. For the past year it has been crazy to be Ricky Seals-Jones. When you look past the cameras, lights and young fame there is a 17 year-old young man who looks up to his older brother Jamal Jones very much. Jamal has been there for his brother throughout the recruiting process and was there Monday when Seals-Jones received his Army All-American jersey.
Jamal walked on at the University of Houston and played under Art Briles. In spring 2008 Jamal played for Coach Kevin Sumlin.
"Coach Sumlin is a great Coach," said Jamal. "He is more hands on and gets involved. That would be good for Ricky if he decides to go to A&M."
"I ended up having to leave football because I couldn't afford it at the time. I was not on scholarship so I had to make changes."
What advice do you give Ricky?
"I told Ricky to look at the wide receivers, how they are coached, how many are there, who plays and it is important to look at the quarterback. I said that it's important to play with a younger quarterback. It would be hard to play with a quarterback who may leave soon. You don't want to have to learn to trust and get familiar with one quarterback and then have to do it all over again right away. I also stress the coaching. Ricky is not the most outgoing person. He is real down to earth and wants that family atmosphere wherever he goes. At then end of the day he is choosing between two great schools and two great coaches. I tell him it is also important to have a great relationship with his position coach because that is the coach he is going to be spending the most time with. I went to both schools with him I talked with both Coach Miles and Coach Sumlin. Both were good talks."

It's Not TulipsRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
You can find me on a face;
Frequently I'm in a vase.
I'm precise by definition,
Yet to one man I am different.
HintIt's not tulips/two lips, even though that is a very good guess. It is a more abstract noun... And not every face is on a living thing.
AnswerA dozen.
A dozen numbers on the face of a clock, a dozen roses in a vase, and although it means precisely 12, to one man (the baker), it means 13.

The Astrodome's Futuristic Scoreboard
When the Astrodome opened in 1965, it was quickly dubbed the "Eighth Wonder of the World." The fully-enclosed stadium was the first of it's kind: a domed, air-conditioned marvel that could handle baseball, football, and any other large event in all kinds of weather. With its bubble exterior and proximity to the fledgling space program, there was no better evidence of America's quick march towards The Jetsons than the new Houston stadium.
Among it's many futuristic innovations was the $2 million scoreboard, "the world's largest, most versatile animated scoreboard." Any gushing preview of the new ballpark was incomplete without a description of the device. A 1972 Houston Sports Association publication touting the wonders of the Astrodome and its surrounding area calls the scoreboard "an electronic marvel, costing $2 million, and longer than a football field, [giving] patrons of the Astrodome more information, faster, than any visual display ever before seen on any athletic field."
So what was this space age visual display that could give "more information, faster" actually used for?
Mind blowing. (Okay, that one might be a little too simple. Let's see what else there was.)
This "showers" animation appears to be one of the stadium's signature displays, with it appearing in multiple press pieces for the Astrodome. Sped up like that, the animation doesn't seem all that bad. Almost fun, to be honest. At full speed, though, it takes 45 seconds. That's almost the length of two Daisuke Matsuzaka pitches. Or one Bobby Abreu tater trot. Talk about tedious.
It almost seems like this animation was drawn specifically to tick off an opposing manager (see below). It's even better when paired with the original audio, which you can find here (along with the rest of these animations).
And here's the famous home run animation, the Astrodome's truly signature show. It's so iconic that it has been carried over to Minute Maid Park. The original experience, on the 447-foot wide scoreboard, was something special.
It didn't quite measure up to the club's initial idea, however. From a February 1965 article:
As the home run hitter circles the bases, here's what is suppose to happen:
Forty seconds?! Not even the Miami home run sculpture takes that long. I do wish the Astros had figured out some way to have the animated cowboys shoot out the stadium's lights after each home run, however. Imagine the entire dome going dark after every home run. That would have been the greatest thing ever.
The scoreboard operators even managed to entertain without their fancy-schmancy graphics. And not everybody was happy about it. Cubs manager Leo Durocher was especially upset by the shenanigans.
The Cubs' fiery manager, Leo Durocher, has roundly criticized the ball park this year as being a "million-dollar stadium with a 10 cent infield." … He also has called the electronic scoreboard which performs various antics during the game a "bush score board."
Other adventures with the scoreboard involved upsetting umpires who charged that the Astros "were using the scoreboard to intimidate umpires" after the message "Kibler did it again" was shown. It was in reference to umpire John Kibler, who had just ejected a Houston player for the second game in a row. When an aging Willie Mays hit his 550th career home run, "This is the captain speaking, we are passing through an area of violent turbulence, fasten your seat belts" appeared on the board. In a 1967 game, when Giants pitcher Ray Sadecki threw to first nine straight times, the operators wrote "this is ridiculous" on the board.
In a funny twist, Leo Durocher spent his last two years in baseball managing the Astros. In 1973, following a controversial call by umpire Bruce Froemming in a series with the Braves, Durocher insisted that the following message be shown:
"Manager Leo Durocher has announced that the game is being played under protest … umpires Froemming and (Augie) Donatelli have blown decisions two of the last three days."
It was the umpire's turn to call the move "bush", with the crew chief claiming that it was inciting fans to riot. Durocher, I'm sure, enjoyed the moment as much as he could.
In 1988, it was announced that the $2 million scoreboard, a sign of a Jetsons-style future only 23 years before, was being removed due to upcoming renovations.

I lived n Houston until I was 6 years old (1980) The astrodome and the Astros are ingrained in my earliest and fondest memories of this wonderful game. What I remeber the most about all of those childhood trips to the Dome is the Home Run animation (and yelling CRUUUUUUUUUZ at the top of my lungs). To my 5 year old ears the animation and subsequent crowd celebration was insanely loud. It intimidated me! yet i loved it because it was loud and colorful and I knew my Astros had done something good. When I first visited MMP and saw that they carried over the HR animation it was like winning the childhood memory lottery. To this day when I visit Minute Maid Park I always look forward to the home run animation. It has a time machine effect on me. Great article. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

This Value Portfolio Is Off to a Flying Start
It's time for the first status update on the 2013 Sham Gad Winning Value Portfolio (corny name I know, but allow me two seconds of self-promotion). In all seriousness, beginning with last year, I created an annual portfolio of 10 stocks, equally weighted, that would be held for that year. No positions would be sold, unless in cases of fraudulent corporate activity.
Last year's portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 by more than 5 percentage points. My ultimate objective is outperformance by 3 percentage points or more, as that effectively would mean we are outperforming 75% to 80% of investment managers....328 more words left in this article.

Topic: Update on mom's external drain procedure
Thanks again for everyone's good wishes, mom's procedure for the external drain was a success. Her bilirubin level dropped from 10 + before the procedure to 5 in less than 24 hours.
I hope they will be able to internalize the drain in a future visit, but one step at a time, this is such a relieve after the failed ERCP for internal stents.

Quote:Krishna_Susarla, as I said before, I subscribe to the belief as stated in the Rig Veda that "The Truth is One but the Sages call it by Many Names."
Quote:It is one thing to accept this belief that there are many different paths to the truth. However, to behave as if Hinduism has no rules, recommendations, or guidelines and is just "whatever you want it to be" is going too far.
Quote: After all, Sanatana Dharma means "Eternal Law" or "Eternal Religion."
Quote: Hinduism tends not to have explicit DO's and DONT's (i.e. thou shalt not, thou must...) but Hinduism has long lists of recommendations and explanations of consequences if such recommendations are not followed.
Quote:Prasadam at mandirs does not contain meat for a valid reason: meat cannot be offered to God. If meat cannot be offered to God and at the same time Krishna says to offer food to God, why in the world would we eat meat or offer it to him?
Quote: I don't know how karma plays out (only God knows) so a person can probably do a lot of great things but still eat meat and grow spiritually at the same time.
Quote: The meat eating won't disqualify you from "Moksha" but as long as you eat meat, it will probably take much longer to get there.
Quote: Anyway, for all the anti-vegetarians out there, you don't even need scriptures to tell you not to eat meat. It's common sense actually based on scientific, ethical, and nutritional reasons. Namaste. ~Shaivite~
Quote:Is there not a variety of dharmas among sentient beings? No-one disputes the propriety of a tiger killing and eating meat -- This is its dharma.
Quote: Likewise, do the scriptures condemn a Kshatriya for taking human life in a just war?
Quote:In some places life as a vegetarian is impossible. I am thinking, for example, of one incarnated as an Innuit/Eskimo. In a land where the tallest plant is <10 cm tall -- and these covered with snow most of the year. Where >5,000 calories per day are needed to sustain life -- impossible without resorting to meat eating -- it seems reasonable that Innuit-dharma would support meat-eating.
Quote:In the West, it seems there has been a "mixing of castes." Is it possible that some are born to live on the flesh of others?

HALIFAX — It took a little prodding, but breast cancer survivor and dragon boat competitor Nancy Bennett made a decision that led to what she calls "an incredible experience."
Bennett took part in the first-ever Israel Dragon Boat Festival, held recently on Lake Kinneret, also known as the Sea of Galilee. Her boat finished first in the breast cancer survivor division.
"We were the top survivor team in the first-ever Dragon Boat Israel Festival! You can imagine our joy!" Bennett said with passion shortly after her return.
Bennett has been a member of the breast cancer survivor paddling team Avalon Dragons, in St. John's, Nfld., since it was founded six years ago to give survivors a way get fit and make friends. She was diagnosed with the illness 20 years ago when living in the United States. Four years later, she and her late husband, Arnold, moved to Newfoundland.
The couple were planning Nancy's trip to Israel when Arnold died suddenly last October. Despondent, Nancy thought she'd pass on her first visit to Israel.
"I eventually looked into it a bit more, went to a training camp for the Canadian team, and Frances Halpern of Toronto, one of the organizers of Dragon Boat Israel, placed me on the [Montreal-based] Canadian team, Two Abreast (Côte à Côte)."
Bennett was joined by two other members of Avalon Dragons, Marie Hyslop and Shirley Thorne, plus two women from Texas, one of whom was living in Italy. The rest of the team came from Montreal. Only two were Jewish.
Thirty-nine teams, totalling more than 900 paddlers, took part in the festival. Nine of the teams consisted of breast cancer survivors. Twenty of the teams were Israeli and 19 came from abroad – from Canada, the United States, Holland, Italy, Australia and Taiwan.
Tailgators, a Canadian team, were overall winners, followed by Ohalo College (Israel), L'Chaim on the Mayim (Canada), Degania Bet (Israel) and Kinneret College (Israel).
Many of the overseas participants were visiting Israel for the first time. They spent 10 days on guided tours before competing in the festival.
The event was a joint Canada-Israel initiative, spearheaded by Jewish Federations of Canada-UIA and the Jewish community of Ottawa. Debbie Halton-Weiss, chair of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa, conceived of the idea of holding a dragon boat festival on the Kinneret. In addition to introducing the sport to Israel and bringing people to the country, it raised more than NIS 200,000 (over $53,000 Cdn) for educational charities and youth programs.
Bennett picks up the story.
"Our first race was at 7:30 a.m. Lake Kinneret on the Sea of Galilee was calm and extreme heat was not yet evident. We were refreshed and strong, but pushed really hard to win the race [against a mixed field of men and women teams].
"It was nearly 40 degrees when we started our second race, paddling against eight other experienced breast cancer teams. We doused ourselves with water from the sea to cool off a little before the race started. We got a very good start, maintained a strong and steady pace and finished first in the race, taking first place overall in the breast cancer division."
During the closing ceremonies, they were treated like celebrities when they received their medals.
Bennett's impression of Israel was similar to those of many first-time visitors – "incredibly beautiful country. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was breathtaking, as though every square inch of land yields a story," said the 67-year-old public relations consultant. She is also the president of the Havura Congregation in St. John's.
In Israel, she said, there's an esthetic and beauty that's missing in North America.
She praised Vancouver doctor Don MacKenzie, who first recognized that paddling would help women overcome breast cancer surgery and become fit again. Prior to his initiative, women were told to lift nothing heavy and to avoid exertion.
"After he researched it, he found positive results, and now dragon boating is the fastest growing water sport in the world," Bennett said.
"I'm so glad I went [to Israel]," she said. "It showed me how important Israel is for non-Jews, too.

Pullback? What Are You Waiting For?
I suppose it was very difficult buying into that monster rally Friday following the jobs report, and it was equally hard to get engaged in Monday's 1% drop.
Those who may have missed jumping on board for any part of the big January rally may have been salivating for the chance to finally buy a dip. Feb. 4 was the biggest drop of the year. It only took 35 days to get it! This market moves so quickly these days, sometimes people are flipping from bullish to bearish and back multiple times a day. It's enough to give you vertigo. But there is no denying the trend, which is up. I don't much care about overanalyzing, rather just paying attention to the price action and proceed accordingly. I won't have a bias and will look at the situation objectively....363 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

text: Midland drubs Riverside 52-19, improves to 3-0 By Ryan Pritt September 7, 2012 Story Share Chris Dorst Cabell Midland's Stephen Matthews tries to turn the corner against Riverside's Trevor Rumberg. Chris Dorst David Gaydosz (right) makes a move on Riverside's William Jackson (1). With impressive wins over Spring Valley and at Parkersburg, Cabell Midland had already made a strong case for a top-five ranking in Class AAA when the first playoff ratings come out.The Knights gave Kanawha County its first glimpse on Friday and did nothing but build upon their early success.Using a three-headed monster of a backfield, Midland rode its ground game to the tune of 474 rushing yards, including 100-yard games from three different backs, in a dominating 52-19 win at Riverside.The numbers and points piled up while a couple of school records went down, and all the while Cabell Midland looked every bit the part of a state championship contender."It's tough to play on the road," Midland coach Luke Salmons said. "It's a challenge but the kids did a good job tonight. The offense played well at times, made some mistakes, but expectations just change. Last year we were 0-2 playing Riverside, now it's 2-0 playing Riverside and it's different. The kids have done a great job. They've worked hard for this and anytime you can win on the road in this conference it's a good thing."Senior fullback Lowell Farley churned out a game-best 165 yards on 16 carries and scored a trio of touchdowns from 72, 12, and 1 yard out. In the process, he also became Midland's all-time leading rusher."I didn't even know who the all-time leading rusher was or if I broke it," Farley said. "But it's an exciting moment when they tell me that I am. Especially as a fullback. Just running downhill, working hard to get extra yards, and I guess it paid off in the end." Farley, David Gaydosz (138 rushing yards on 14 carries) and Stephen Matthews (139 yards on 12 carries) could run down, around, or uphill on Friday as Midland's offensive line consistently blew the Warriors off the line of scrimmage in visibly dominating fashion.Often times, the Midland backs weren't touched until they were deep into the second or even third level of Riverside's defense, and with a full head of steam and room to operate, all three were more than a handful to stop all night."[The offensive line] is good," Salmons said. "We knew that going into the year. We have four out of five starters back and two kids that rotate in. So we have six offensive linemen and they're fresh, they play offense only. Without them, we don't have anything." Trevor Rumberg and the Warriors had their moments and looked poised to jump back into the game coming out of the half. William Jackson took the opening handoff of the second half and sprinted 60 yards for a score to cut the Knights' lead to 35-19.Gaydosz then coughed up the ball in his own territory on the third play on the ensuing possession, allowing the Warriors to set up shop with a golden opportunity. But after a three-and-out, Farley capped a seven-play, 80-yard drive with his 12-yard score and Midland was never threatened again."They're a good football team," Warriors coach Ralph Hensley said. "They're big and strong and Farley can run - he's the man. Gaydosz he played real well too. We played with them a little bit, we just can't maintain as much as we need too. We just need to work on tackling I guess, because we didn't tackle well again, and if you can't tackle you can't win."Jackson finished as Riverside's leading rusher with 92 yards on 11 carries while Trevor Rumberg threw for 168 yards on 10-of-19 passing with a 77-yard touchdown strike to Damarrie' Lain in the first quarter that made the score 7-6. Lain also scored on a 24-yard run.Gaydosz scored on runs of 38 and 1 yard while Matthews scored on a 6-yard run and hauled in a 42-yard scoring toss from Coy Pettit to start the scoring. Pettit contributed 129 yards through the air, bringing Midland's gaudy yardage total to 603. And finally, Chris Molina put a pretty little record-breaking bow on a great opening three weeks by blasting a 48-yard field goal to close the scoring, setting a school mark.Midland is playing well in all three phases, and even with the schedule strengthening in the next couple of weeks (South Charleston, at Huntington, Woodrow Wilson), the Knights are riding high."We're playing lights out," Farley said. "We're on a roll and I want to keep it going, but all of this hard work we've put in, in the spring all the way to the summer - we just want that state title and that's what it's going for."Reach Ryan Pritt at 304-348-7948, email@example.com, or follow him at twitter.com/RPritt.

Construction of a business aviation center at Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg, Russia, missed its target for completion last month, but builder and operator JetPort told AIN that the FBO is nearly done and the facility will open this summer. Called Pulkovo-3, the facility sits on a 24-acre lot that includes apron and parking places for 20 business jets. The 43,000-sq-ft, two-story business aviation terminal will be able to serve up to 1,500 passengers daily, the company said.
JetPort is part of the same group of companies as VIPport, which claims its Vnukovo-3 business aviation facility at Moscow-Vnukovo airport is the largest and busiest in Europe. JetPort and VIPport are guided by a team of private investors associated with Vitaly Vantsev, who led Vnukovo since 2002. On March 13 he stepped down as chairman of Vnukovo's executive board, leaving this position to Aleksander Yastrib, a top manager in the Bank of Moscow who is widely viewed as a Kremlin appointee.
In a precursor to Yastrib's selection, early last year Vladimir Putin–then Russia's prime minister and now the president–called for unification of Sheremetievo and Vnukovo Airports under a single command, meaning a Kremlin-appointed administration. The Russian government holds more than a 50-percent share in Vnukovo and 100 percent in Sheremetievo.
With these changes, Vantsev's plans for expansion of the group's business aviation activities could be revised. Currently, the company focuses on business jet handling and servicing at airports in Sochi, Krasnodar, Anapa and Genendzhik in the south of Russia.

I note embedded in your article updating news anent the St. Petersburg area airfields that the terminal at the Pulkovo-2 field is designated 'historic,' and thus has restraints on its renovation. Well and good, that's their affair. However, the plan to restyle it with 'Soviet art,' aside from being inane, seems to be part of a overall re-Sovietisation mood in rodina lately. And, I might add, pushed rather heavily.
My response is simple, and immediate: Dear Ivan - your proposed intent of subjecting me to the ugliest 'artwork' in Russian history is repugnant, bordering on the obscene. I don't need more ugliness in my life, thank you. Additionally, you need to get your (collective) heads squared away. The Soviets are the greatest criminals in recorded history - the glorification of same is as disgusting as would be a resurgence in Germany of Nazi 'art' depicting slave labor in a concentration camp. So, here's the deal: Put it on the walls or in the lobby, and I won't use the airfield. I may just consider staying out of the ReSovietUnion altogether, and see if we can get some ENG cameras on the facility, and then see about avoiding trading with Russia altogether. Sovietism is not the Russian people, who are way better than that. A reversion to tyranny starts slowly, so let's just let this die, folks. If you quit drinking Putin's Kool-Aid, you will become a very great nation. Listen to the maniac and his coterie, and lose all business, and return to being a pariah nation.
Suddenly, it's 1936 again, and this time around we don't care
to ignore the rise of totalitarian monsters - Hitler, then, and will it be you this time?

HOUSTON - Officials say they're seeing a disturbing trend of shooters targeting and shooting protected wild hawks.
The Wildlife Center of Texas said it's caring for five Red Tailed Hawks that were shot. One of them was shot in the leg, and the bullet went through the wing.
All of the birds are suffering from gunshot wounds and can expect to spend 4 to 6-months recuperating. Texas Wildlife Executive Director Sharon Schmalz said it's disheartening to see the increase in hawk shootings.
"It's really sad, because once their wing is fractured, a lot of times they can't be fixed well enough to get them back into the wild," said Schmalz.
If they can't heal well enough to go back into the wild, officials said they're placed in zoos or sanctuaries to live out their lives. But Schmalz said they help all of us when they're in the wild.
"These guys are here for a reason," Schmalz said. "They're migrating down in the area. They eat poisonous snakes, they eat rats, they eat mice, they eat things that we don't want around."
Officials said it's against the law to harm Texas native wildlife. If you see an injured hawk, you're asked to call the SPCA or the Texas Wildlife Center.

Worksite Health
Fiberglass and Being Pregnant
I work in a fiberglass plant and I was wondering if I become pregnant is it bad to breathe in the fiberglass while pregnant?
First of all, I would say that I don't think there are any particular, known risks to a pregnant woman from fiberglass (also called synthetic vitreous fibers) insulation. I found the following on at the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene:
Direct contact with fiberglass or with airborne dust containing fiberglass may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, and throat.
High levels of exposure to airborne fiberglass may aggravate asthma or bronchitis.
Long-term health effects associated with fiberglass are not completely known. However, studies of people routinely working with fiberglass have not shown increased risk of long-term health conditions, such as respiratory disease, cancer, or allergic sensitization.
I also found this site from the CDC's Agency for Toxic Substances Disease Registry.
The authors of this document found:
1) no human or animal studies showing an increase in mortality after breathing these fibers;
2) numerous animal studies showing minimal to moderate lung fibrosis (stiffening of the tissue) and inflammation;
3) temporary symptoms of irritation from short-term exposure and no serious health effects from long-term exposure in humans;
4) no evidence of cancer risk in human studies; and
5) there were no studies on reproductive or developmental effects.
The risks appear to be minimal. My recommendation, however, is that you continue working as long as you are comfortable doing so, but I would take every measure possible to minimize or eliminate your exposure while pregnant.
Since there are no studies relevant to pregnancy, it is best if you err on the side of caution. Can you be temporarily reassigned to different duties? Or, can you separate yourself from fibers and dust produced in the work process? Or, can you at least wear respiratory protection? You could go to a store specializing in occupational safety equipment, explain your circumstances, and be fit with the appropriate respirator.

Dubai, Sep 23 (IANS) An Indian national who was abducted in Oman last week was rescued by police Monday. Three people have been arrested in this connection.
Mohammed Haneefa, an expatriate from the south Indian state of Kerala, was abducted from Sohar, 200 km north of Oman's capital Muscat, by a gang of masked men last week.
A Royal Oman Police (ROP) special team freed the abducted man in an early morning raid Monday, the Times Of Oman reported.
"At around 3 a.m. Monday, one of the patrolling vehicles of the special team formed by the police to rescue Haneefa found him and his abductors in a farm," the report quoted Yousuf Salim, a social worker, as saying.
"Police sprang into action and freed Haneefa from the clutches of the abductors," he added.
The Urdu-speaking gang reportedly made a number of calls to Haneefa's family in Kerala after abducting him, demanding ransom money.
The gang reportedly kept demanding Pakistani rupees 500,000 as ransom for freeing Haneefa and set a 48-hour deadline ending Sunday.
"If we failed to raise the money, they claimed that they will kill Haneefa," a family member said.
The ransom calls were made from internet phones.
The family had reportedly transferred Pakistani rupees 50,000 to a bank account number, given by the gang, through Western Union from Saudi Arabia.

A DERELICT former nursing home, which has been branded an 'eyesore', has been earmarked for a new housing development.
The Whinberry View site, in Bacup Road, Rawtenstall, could be transformed into 23 semi-detached houses as part of plans by property developers B&E Boys.
The site has been empty for several years, with planning permission first granted for homes in 2003, and renewed in 2010.
That permission has now expired again.
But bosses at B&E Boys have said they are hoping to complete the £3million project this year.
The application is also due to be decided this year.
Coun Colin Crawforth, who represents Rawtenstall, said: "This development would certainly be a better use of the site.
"The building is an eyesore.
"From my point of view, Rawtenstall needs housing and the site is there waiting to be used.
"I can't really see why people would oppose it," he added The developers have said the homes could sell for between £147,500 and £170,000 each.
Barry Dean, associate property director at the firm, said they hoped a decision on the plans, for mainly three-bedroom homes, could be reached next month.
He said: "Commencement is anticipated in late spring, with the first completions towards the end of the year."
Plans to demolish the former care home were first raised in 2003 as part of the closure of 32 Lancashire care homes.

Lit Crawl LA:NoHo
What: The debut of Lit Crawl LA:NoHo will bring the best of the greater Los Angeles' literary community to North Hollywood's Art District for a celebration of literature with 23 events at 12 locations.
When: 6 p.m.-11 p.m. Oct. 23 (Round 1 6 p.m.-7 p.m.; Round 2 7:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m.; Closing fundraiser party "Speak-Easy" is set for 9 p.m.-11 p.m. at The Hesby, 5031 Fair Ave.)
Where: NoHo Arts District off Lankershim Boulevard. For specific venues, visit www.litcrawl.org/la
Cost: Rounds 1 and 2 are free to all ages. The closing party is for those age 21 and older, with tickets at $15.
Information: www.litcrawl.org/la
To be, or not to be: That is the question burning in the hearts of Los Angeles book lovers. Now, Lit Crawl L.A. is here to sate their need.
"The L.A. lit community has been waiting for something like this for years," said Project Director Sally Shore of the Oct. 23 festivities, the first local iteration of an event that started in San Francisco in 2004 and expanded to Austin, Brooklyn, Manhattan, London, Iowa City and Seattle.
Taking place near Lankershim and Magnolia boulevards in the burgeoning NoHo Arts District, Lit Crawl will showcase SoCal writers and traditions with "transmedia" readings, poems, on-site theater and, of course, flowing food and cocktails — 23 literary events at 12 locations.
"It's not the stereotypical image of a poetry reading, where most people think prim and proper. It's going to be raucous," said William Goldstein of Red Hen Press in Pasadena. "Like a bar crawl with books."
L.A. poet Brendan Constantine, who has participated in San Francisco's Lit Crawl, is anxious to see how Angelenos will react. Venues run the gamut from coffee houses to hair salons. Constantine will be one of five poets at Gallery 800 for Red Hen's "Not the Lakers."
"They really are a dream team of L.A.-based writers and performers who will blow the doors off the hinges — hence 'Not the Lakers,' though, they'd beat the Lakers in a poetry slam," Goldstein said.
Starting at 6 p.m., all events are free, except the Hesby's $15 after-party, which aims to raise funds for next year's crawl. A pop-up bookstore will be open from 5 to 8:30 p.m. at Blastoff Comics.
"More and more people have sort of broken the usual pattern of literary readings," Constantine said eagerly. "More literary collectives are digging in, and I'm seeing these endeavors endure."

Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
I honestly haven't kept track of him at all since he came back. Has he been any good?
How about we link the initial article that Amick wrote. It was a long read, but pretty good read and read it during English yesterday lol. It would be a shame if he doesn't get credit.
No TJ he hasn't been that good he doesn't look fully healthy to me. I would say he looks 60% he needs to get his legs back and back in game shape, but he looks off some nights in terms of movement looks different from his Clipper days and brief play last year.

I wouldn't want to give up anyone that the Hornets would want for him.
Then I'm not interested.
Without a ringing endorsement from his #1 PD fan about Gordon's performance, "Just Say No to Gordo(n)"
He's now struggling with back problems.
This space for rent.
Had to do it
What do you think, Dale Davis?
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
It's hard to say as stupid as some GM's are, but until he proves himself healthy for a full season I don't think he has a lot trade value with that contract.
He makes more then Granger now and even if we were to trade Granger for him his salary is too high to be able to keep West and PG. I wouldn't want to risk losing PG over an often injured Gordon.
No thanks.
I feel for the guy so talented just cant stay healthy pretty sad.

Somebody break out the 'days since gordon trade thread' graphic.....
"He's a strong physical presence out there on both ends of the court. He's a man. There's a reason he was an All-Star." -- Vogel on David West
I think this belongs here.
I was just thinking the other day - man, it's been too long since we had an Eric Gordon thread.
"Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better." - Albert Camus
"Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." - Voltaire
"Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others." - William Greider
This player has simply become an obsession for some posters here.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
Do the Hornets really want Gerald Green that bad?? They seem desperate
It's pretty common for back problems to follow knee problems. You change the way you walk/run/etc. when your knees hurt and it messes with your back.
It's too bad he signed a max. He's a good enough player to take a risk on, but not with a max deal.
Roy has a max deal, Gordon's on a max, George will get a max can't afford all three wld love to hav him but it ain't Gona happen. Plus injury prone basketball player red flag
That back injury is not a big deal that happens to players that are off for that long, EJ is still not 100% but he still looks better than a lot of players in the league.

Dotel has ways to go before returning
DETROIT -- Octavio Dotel was on the Comerica Park scoreboard Tuesday night during a between-innings segment and asked who the best singer on the team is. That's about as much as the Tigers will see of Dotel for a little while.
While the team prepares for a road trip to Texas and Cleveland, Dotel continues to try to work his way back from right elbow inflammation. He's supposed to wrap up his medicine regimen in the next couple days, after which the Tigers will see if he's pain-free and able to throw.
Even if Dotel is, it's not expected to be a quick path back to pitching shape.
"It's going to be a while before we see Dotel here, I would think," manager Jim Leyland said. "We could get a pleasant surprise, but I'm not expecting that."

THE good recent results we've achieved have been overshadowed by the serious injury Michael Timlin sustained at Leyton Orient during the week.
He broke his leg towards the end of our 1-0 win there and will need to have an operation which could keep him out for nine months.
We're all gutted for him and it's not nice when one of your players suffers an injury like that.
Michael is someone I have a good relationship with having also managed him at Swindon Town and him getting injured has put a real dampener on things.
However, one thing I know for certain is that he will be back and, being the determined character he is, I wouldn't be surprised if he came back quicker than everyone expected.
We will keep him involved with us and do all we can to help him and I will be having a meeting with the chief executive and the chairman to see what we can do with the boy.
We will also need to talk about trying to replace him in the side but I'm still taking stock of the situation.
We will be having discussions with agents and clubs to see who is available but we can only sign someone on loan for 93 so we also have to decide when is the right time to bring in a new signing.
Michael will be hard to replace though as he's an experienced player who talks and organises those around him.
But we have other players in the squad who may well need to step up and we will look to bring in someone else too.
Before then we will be thinking about tomorrow's game against Accrington Stanley and we will be wanting to improve our record against them.
They won at our place on the opening day of the season and that was an incredibly frustrating day for us.
We feel like we owe them one to be honest but it will be a hard game there.
They may not be in great form but they've made some new signings and I certainly don't think they will get relegated this season.
I think they will soon start to string together a run of improved results.
But hopefully that won't happen until after we've played them.
We're going there in good form on the back of three 1-0 wins and those clean sheets have pleased me.
When the game against Plymouth was postponed we had a few days where we could work on the shape of the side and that seems to have made a difference.
Having a settled back four has also helped but two of them are now injured and are big doubts for the game at Accrington.
We will need to battle on and it's been very pleasing to see the goalkeeper, Paul Smith, turn a corner for us.
It's something that I always thought was going to happen because he just needed the games.
Before coming here he hadn't had much first team football for a while and I think he was a little bit ring rusty.
But he's now firmly settled in to his new surroundings and he's been fantastic for us in the last few games.
That's been vital and we need to keep this good form going because I think the next five weeks are going to be key.
We will learn a lot more about all the teams challenging towards the top and that includes ourselves.
We play four of the top eight in our next seven league games and that will huge a huge say on our season.

Surgery of the diseased bovine digit (Proceedings)
Deep sepsis of the digit
Untreated or late-treated foot rot, a complicated sole ulcer, a white line abscess that extends into retroarticular structures, and puncture wounds may all result in necrosis and or infection of structures important for weight bearing. These problems have in common severe pain that is not relieved by hoof blocks or analgesic medication. Specific diagnosis of the problem may be aided by using a probe to explore fistulous tracts, by inserting a hypodermic needle (14 or 16 g) into joints or tendon sheaths, but rarely requires X-radiography. Cows suffering from deep sepsis are truly suffering and a decision should be made at the first recognition of this problem to either euthanize, slaughter, or perform surgery. Too many cases receive no treatment or systemic antibiotics in the hope that the problem will somehow resolve spontaneously. These cows deserve a more humane approach.
Surgery of the digitAnesthesia is most easily performed by intravenous infiltration of lidocaine distal to a tourniquet on the metatarsus or metacarpus. Lidocaine without epinephrine, 20 to 30 ml, is infused using a butterfly catheter (19 g, 15 to 25 cm). Any accessible vein will result in complete anesthesia of both digits after a few minutes. If no vein can be found, regional perfusion above the intended surgical site is an alternative. The distal limb is scrubbed and disinfected as for any surgery but usually not shaven as the hair is typically very short or absent. Surgical procedures are commonly done in the field and are considered "clean" procedures but not sterile. The goal is to debride necrotic tissues and provide drainage for pus and exudate. If a hoof block is to be used as part of the therapy it should be attached before the surgery since adhesives require dry hoof to bond. Injecting the lidocaine followed by applying the block or scrubbing the area insures adequate time for diffusion of the anesthetic to all tissues distal to the tourniquet.
Toe ulcer, toe necrosis
This condition results from over wear or overtrimming at the toe tip. The resulting thin sole at the tip is more susceptible to deformation from stepping on stones or irregular features of the flooring. If a hematoma results at the toe tip it may lead to avascular necrosis of the soft tissues at the toe tip. If the lesion is open to the environment miscellaneous bacteria may invade and produce osteomyelitis or pathologic fracture of the tip of the third phalanx. Conservative therapy with a hoof block and cleaning of the toe tip usually results in a chronic state of infection and mild pain. Our current approach to this problem is to place a hoof block on the sound digit and amputate the distal portion of the affected digit. Either obstetrical wire or hoof nippers may be used to remove slices of the affected digit until all tissue exposed appears healthy. A tight bandage is applied over some antibiotic powder to control hemorrhage. The bandage is removed in a few days. There is no need for parenteral antibiotics. Regrowth of functional cornified epithelium will cover the partial amputation in about 1 month. The prognosis is excellent.
Digit amputation
Amputation of one digit at the proximal interphalangeal joint or just above is a common procedure in cattle practice. After preparation a skin incision is made in the interdigital space and then beginning about 2 cm proximal to the interdigital cleft angling upward to a point on the lateral or medial side of the leg even with the distal margin of the accessory digit or dewclaw. All soft tissues can be sharply incised along the line of the skin incision. Obstetrical wire is then placed between the digits and the distal end of the first phalanx cut. If the cut misses this landmark and a portion of the second phalanx remains proximal to the cut it should be removed. If the articular surface of the first phalanx is intact it should be roughened with a knife. Alternatively, the digit may be amputated by sharp dissection to disarticulate the proximal interphalangeal joint. Some practitioners ligate one or two arteries and others simply use a very tight bandage. The cut surface of the removed portion should be carefully examined for evidence of sepsis or necrosis. If damaged tissue extends above the amputation and it is not debrided the outcome will be poor. After determining that all diseased tissue is removed, the surface of the wound is covered with an antiseptic or antibiotic dressing and a bandage applied to control hemorrhage. The bandage should be removed or changed in about 1 week if there was no need for maintaining drainage of septic regions proximal to the incision. If a tendon resection is performed the bandage should be removed in 2 or 3 days. Depending on the environment the cow must live in after surgery either no bandage is placed after the first one is removed or a light wrap to minimize painful contact with environmental objects. Parenteral antibiotics are usually given for 5 days.
