Family, Friends, Health and Freedom
What we're thankful for in this season of gratitude.
'Gratitude is a fruit of great cultivation; you do not find it among gross people." That was the acute observation of Dr. Johnson, to Boswell. It does say something about us as a people that our Pilgrims invented, Washington formalized, and Lincoln normalized the putting aside of one day each year simply to be thankful for what we've been given.
From a few dozen email correspondents this year came a strong flavor of personal gratitude. When I asked what they were most thankful for, they didn't have to think: family, friends, good health. But unprompted there was an outpouring of tender feeling—pride and gratitude—for America. It came from left, right and center, from those disappointed in the recent election and those cheered by it.
First, the personal. People went straight to the essentials. "I am thankful for my life being quiet but not boring," said a lawyer. "My wife and son are good. This is huge. Politics keeps me caffeinated, without the coffee. I am grateful for it all." From a writer: "The love of friends. Full stop." From a philanthropic figure: "We have our health, when so many we know do not. We are very grateful for that." From a television executive: "I'm most grateful for the good health and well being of my friends and family, and also for the good luck of being alive and happy."
A nurse in New Jersey gave thanks for the friends and family who put her up for 12 days when she lost power in Hurricane Sandy: "I am grateful for the roof over my head. And to the National Guard for free gas." A woman on public assistance in Staten Island said she's grateful for electricity, and to the Marines who came to help: "They were awesome." She added she is thankful for whoever invented text messaging.
A New York journalist said: "I'm thankful for my friends with kids. Not because the kids are cute. (Most of them are.) Having kids has made my friends more patient, less 'caught up' and happier. Their behavior will hopefully influence mine. If not, then I guess I'll have to get some kids of my own."
The editor of a news site who lives near a forest told me he is grateful for "love, nature, innocence." I pressed him: We're all thankful God created love, without it we'd be tree stumps, but what do you love right now that you're grateful for? He shot back a photo. "Buddy the cat. He literally came out of nowhere one night, and has never left since. He sleeps in the window most of the time, and looks in as if to say: 'I'm home.' He always lets the others in the pack eat first. 'Slow down,' I say to myself. The world on my screen may be spinning and sizzling, but Buddy's ends up being the preferred reality."
On almost all minds, the election. People in conversation say, "I'm glad it's over," but no one said that in the Thanksgiving emails. They said they were glad it yielded a clear outcome, that we're not still counting votes. A lawyer who'd been asked to pack his bags to be on a plane the next morning if necessary is at home now with his family, where he hoped to be.
Peggy Noonan's Blog
Daily declarations from the Wall Street Journal columnist.
A friend noted his relief that the Electoral College vote and the popular vote were aligned. "I'm happy we don't have to argue about that one!"
But then people spoke of something bigger. We just experienced a national election, and once again that miracle occurred, that historic marvel: Awesome power and authority were fought over, contested; people put time, labor and money on the line. And then the people voted, peacefully, with no fuss, and everyone absorbed the decision and accepted it. From a Republican businessman: "I am thankful for living in the greatest country on earth, where 59 million people voted against someone and no tanks rolled, no bombs exploded in the town square, no innocents were slaughtered in the name of some deity or orthodoxy. . . . We went about our business, with an eye towards the future."
From a right-leaning policy intellectual: "I am thankful for living in this free country. Sappy but sincere."
From a left-leaning journalist: "That we live in a country where there is a lack of censorship, that we are . . . a place with an ongoing geyser of genius, creativity and innovation." She mentioned the iPhone, the TV show "Homeland," and the movie "Lincoln"—all "made in the USA." Our democratic traditions are vibrant. "Some people waited on line for 10 hours to vote—that is democracy at full tilt."
From a disappointed Republican operative: "Throughout America's history, elections happen on time—regardless of war—and the occupant of 1600 Penn leaves when his legal term is up. That's pretty cool." And free speech: "The right and left both have censorious streaks, but the ability of the public to flip the bird to authority is a strength. The ability of the press to hold government accountable (as uneven as it may be) is a strength." And he is thankful for America's people. "We can be rude and surly and not even like each other. And yet, we can get stuff done as individuals, as communities and as a nation. We can rise to the occasion."
And I am thankful for all of the above, and this:
• For the young people I saw running through the streets of Georgetown, down M Street and Pennsylvania Avenue toward the White House, on Election Night. They were boisterous, elated. Political joy is a good thing to see in the young. Things aren't all flat, stale and cynical, something's always being born.
• For my Thanksgiving with friends—same time, same place for many years now, same kids, some married and having children of their own. There will be the same reading of a play on the meaning of Thanksgiving, written for a little girl of 5 who's now a college freshman. This year Harry will again read the part of the Pilgrim governor, William Bradford : "Inasmuch as the great Father has given us this year an abundant harvest of corn, wheat, peas and beans . . . and because he has made the forests to abound with game, and the sea with fish and clams . . . and inasmuch as he has granted us freedom to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience—Now I, your magistrate, do proclaim that all ye Pilgrims . . . gather at ye meeting house . . . to listen to ye pastor and render thanksgiving to ye almighty God."
As I write, the day before Thanksgiving, I wonder if Harry's eyes will fill with tears again, and his voice shake, to his own shy wonder.
Well, they are moving words. And Harry is an immigrant.
• For the neighborhood delivery man from Pakistan, who on Tuesday, as he turned to close the door turned back and said: "And also, happy Th—" He searched for the word.
"Thanksgiving!" It was so beautiful the way he said it. Like it was new.
Happy Thanksgiving to America—the great and fabled nation that is still this night the hope of the world.

Kendall Jenner Gets a Massive Tattoo… But It's Fake [PHOTO]
For a hot second, we thought Kendall Jenner was the edgiest member of the Kardashian clan, extended or otherwise. She posted a photo of a huge tattoo that made her look like she had wings. Turns out it's fake and Miss Jenner won't be taking flight.
The faux tat looks incredibly authentic and the extremely detailed design is super cool and requires zero commitment. If you are going to do a fake tattoo, you may as well go big and Kendall went HUGE.
The model and ex of Harry Styles posted, "if you're a bird, I'm a bird. @badwoodx does em' niicceee! #ItsRemovable."
Since Jenner made fashion week splashes by walking Marc Jacobs runway and more, it's no surprise that such a huge tattoo, which looks like a shrug, is fake.
But like we said, it is cool to look at.

Florida's 29 electoral votes remain one of the biggest prizes on election day.
Who wins Florida may come down to who turns out either the young or senior voters.
Pamela Flory has already voted. "It's my duty to vote", says Flory. And Marian Nimis said she will. "Absolutely, positively and so are my kids", says Nimis.
Registration data from the Secretary of State's Office shows older voters are slightly more likely to be Republicans, while young voters trend no party or Democrat.
To win Florida, Democrats have to do something they did four years ago and that's win the vote on college campuses. Which explains why Bill Clinton made a last minute stop at Florida State University last Friday night.
But besides Clinton's visit, political scientist from University of South Florida, Susan MacManus, says the Obama campaign has ignored other big universities and made a mistake on its over-reliance of social media to reach college students. "Facebook is private. Twitter is private. It's entertainment. Too much politics is alienating and they're very quick to de-friend someone who doesn't", says MacManus.
Which is exactly what we found at FSU.
"It's not them. It's people like typing for them and stuff. I don't know", says Zach White a college student.
We also met Lauren Wallace who voted four years ago, but isn't voting this time. "I'm not into it. Not my scene, I guess. I don't want to get involved", says Wallace.
So after months of negative ads, who wins Florida could come down to how a generation that doesn't watch TV votes or doesn't vote.

Two weeks ago, Legit Reviews reported on rumors that Intel might be planning on moving away from socketed desktop processors after Haswell in favor of the BGA package design with Broadwell. The news came as a shock to many, but some might have foreseen that changes are coming due to the 'new' desktop PC market that we are in today. Many enthusiasts that build their own PC were disappointed by these rumors as it would severely limit how you update your platform since BGA package is permanently soldered to the motherboard. AMD must have smelled blood as we got an e-mail from Gary Silcott, Corporate Communications of AMD Client Products, who told us that AMD will be keeping socketed CPUs and APUs around through at least 2014 with the "Kaveri" APU and FX CPU lines. This is comforting news, but they didn't say that socketed processors are here to stay forever. We have a feeling that major design and form factor changes are being worked on now that won't see the light of day until 2014. Legit Reviews will keep you updated about the fate of socketed processors, but for now don't worry about it much. These changes are years away and new sockets are coming for the next gen Intel processors. This means that what you own now is soon to be obsolete and you'll have to buy a new board anyway!
Nate – Hey. I saw your piece on the BGA future for desktops. Not sure if you are interested in any commentary back from AMD to add to future stories or as an addendum, but we wanted to make our position clear.
AMD has a long history of supporting the DIY and enthusiast desktop market with socketed CPUs & APUs that are compatible with a wide range of motherboard products from our partners. That will continue through 2013 and 2014 with the "Kaveri" APU and FX CPU lines. We have no plans at this time to move to BGA only packaging and look forward to continuing to support this critical segment of the market.
As the company that introduced new types of BGA packages in ultrathin platforms several years ago, and today offers BGA-packaged processors for everything from ultrathin notebooks to all-in-one desktops, to embedded applications and tablets, we certainly understand Intel's enthusiasm for the approach. But for the desktop market, and the enthusiasts with whom AMD has built its brand, we understand what matters to them and how we can continue to bring better value and a better experience.

State of State Preview
Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:46:13 GMT —
Gov. Rick Snyder's State of the State address will kick off a debate over how to raise money for badly needed repairs to Michigan's roads and bridges.
Few would disagree that the state's transportation infrastructure needs fixing.
Government and private reports estimate that around $1.5 billion is needed each year to fill potholes and complete other maintenance work. And that doesn't include funds for improvements.
Snyder called last year for replacing the 19-cents-per-gallon tax on gasoline with a tax on the wholesale price of fuel. The Legislature took on action. He says he'll make more specific proposals in his speech Wednesday.
Mike Nystrom of the Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association says poor roads are hurting the state's economy. He says strong leadership is needed to win support for new funding.

All-Star spotlight suits Stanton just right
MIAMI -- Being among the stars is something Giancarlo Stanton can certainly get used to.
The Marlins' slugger, who wowed with his 510-foot blast in Monday night's Gillette Home Run Derby, enjoyed the All-Star festivities this week at Target Field in Minneapolis so much, he's talked about being hungry for more appearances in the Midsummer Classic.
"That's what we strive for," Stanton said. "You want to be there every year."
To be a perennial star, Stanton says he must maintain his strong preparation and his understanding about what it takes to play at such a high level.
"No one was given that opportunity to be there," Stanton said. "Everyone earned it with their play and with their years prior. For me, it's just to continue to work hard and to continue to do what I'm doing and to get every last bit of my talent out."
Stanton gave a sample of his raw power with his towering upper-deck blast in the first round of the Derby. More people have talked about that shot more than the fact Oakland's Yoenis Cespedes won the event.
"It seems like I almost won the thing, with everyone talking about that," Stanton said. "It was cool with the crowd. Everyone kind of paused and stood up. It started getting loud after I hit that. That's when I really got into it. I was like a kid again, having fun in the backyard."

|The new guidebook by Robbie Williams is packed full of history, interesting anecdotes, and good essays, and some of the routes included have good descriptions. I enjoy the book very much; but I have to say that the topos are pretty poor in a lot of cases, and REALLY bad in others. For the routes that aren't heavily travelled, make sure you get as much beta from someone that's done the route for the route-finding challenges. If you're faced with a decision on the route between trusting the topo, or trusting your instinct, DEFINITELY go with your instinct. Perhaps this is a "given" anywhere, but my point is that the topos in this book are particularly bad.
By Anonymous Coward

|RE: Topos in Robbie's book. Agreed. Schematic topos are not the best for the complex routefinding in the Black. None-the-less, a good first round effort on the part of the guidebook author and publisher. One way to look at it is people who rely exclusively on these topos will get a good feeling for the Black's reputation.

|I'd buy him a beer but I think he may have had enough. His photo-diagrams apparently were drawn in a drunken stupor and then escaped correction in the "editing" phase. If he had spent a little time comparing his worthless topos to his worthless photo-diagrams, he would have realized they have serious discrepancies. This time I'm ranting specifically about No Pig Left. The line drawn on the photo of North Chasm View Wall for No Pig Left follows the route for about half a pitch, then takes a random line way to its left all the way to the rim. Again I feel like I'm comlaining about a meaningless subject, but at the same time it pisses me off that someone felt the need to publish a guidebook to the Black but didn't take the time to get it right. A "first round effort" implies that he put.......well, EFFORT into it, and that doesn't seem to be the case to me.

Just a reminder that you must sign out for ALL inner-canyon travel. It only takes a minute to go down to the North Rim ranger station and fill out a "Wilderness Use Permit" located in a box outside the building and available 24 hours a day (on the South Rim, the permit box is located outside the Visitor Center). Also, fill out the white board outside the building with your name, date and climb- this helps inform others where you will be, and allows fellow climbers to see where heavy traffic might be and choose another climb. I recommend taking a stroll down there the evening before your climb.
Contrary to what it would seem, it is very easy for the rangers to inventory climbers in the Canyon. Part of their daily rounds is to scope the walls for climbers, and to check their tally against climbers who have signed out. I have some friends who didn't sign out, went to try a new route, and later had the rangers meet them on the rim when they topped out. They were cited for not signing out, then asking what they were trying since it wasn't an established route.
As an aside, please be EXTREMELY careful not to dislodge rocks while descending the Cruise Gully. Rocks that are accidently knocked off from the the loose area above the first rap could easily make it down the vertical stretch, and potentially take someone out.

Echoing on Jason's comment, wouldn't the info Steve has posted regarding climber registration been extremely useful to print in the guidebook? If there was one bit of essential information that should have been included in the introduction, I would think this would be it, especially if we could get cited for not doing so. Personally, I have yet to register when climbing in the Black mainly out of ignorance. I have always assumed that the statement, "A permit is required for all inner canyon travel" on the signs at the Cruise and SOB gullies, means that I have to go see a ranger, tell him where I'm climbing, hear his spiel, get a permit that I have to carry, etc. Given that I've typically arrived at the NRCG at midnight and started my approach at 5am, such face-time with a ranger is impossible. Now I hear that all I need to do is go sign my name on a list?
Besides that, I've found that the guidebook is just fine. For an adventure area like the Black, I think the minimalist nature of the topos is perfect and in the tradition of the understated topos in D. Reid's Yosemite guide. I basically expect to have route-finding/locating issues when I climb there. A Rossiter-style guidebook, I think, would be overkill and detract from the Black experience.

Using data from the Wilderness Use Permits the NPS tracks statistics for all inner canyon use (hiking, fishing, climbing, failing to climb). Besides being the law, filling out these permits allows the NPS to accurately count climber use in the inner canyon (we are by far the heaviest user group) which in turn helps our voice be heard by the Park managers.
I suspect climbers who protest the system are lazy, or consider it some vague affront to the "wild and free" Black Canyon experience of yesteryear. Having counted 17 climbers on-route, starting, or exiting the Checkerboard Wall/Maiden Voyage area one fine Sunday this year, perhaps those days are gone for good...at least on weekends at high season.

|Due to a recent accident where a non-climber fell from the overlook atop N.Chasm View Wall, several routes in the vicinity of the Hallucinogen Wall (apparently a number of routes cross over each other here) will be closed until next spring. I talked to a ranger who made it sound like only the Hallucinogen and a few of the aid routes right next to it will be closed, implying that the free routes to the left and right (perhaps excepting the Diagonal??) are still open, although I didn't specifically ask him about that. He also said that the talus itself below the wall is basically open, e.g. if you wanted to reach the tyrolean to access S.Chasm View Wall, but it is recommended that you not walk close to the water to reach it. Anyhow, if you are planning a trip there and are interested in these routes, check with the rangers before you go!

The days are getting cooler and the temps on the big walls are once again becoming bearable. The rangers at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park are looking forward to seeing everyone back for a safe and enjoyable fall season. If you plan a climbing trip to the Black please give the following some thought:
The Black Canyon has a unique situation when it comes to rescue. At most climbing areas your partner or a small rescue team can climb or rappel to an injured party, lower the injured party to the ground and carry them to a road and awaiting ambulance. This is not the case at the Black. Rescues at the Black all involve uphaul, large numbers of personnel and above average risk to all involved.
Know your partner well before committing to a large multi-pitch route with him or her.
Be realistic when it comes to your physical and climbing ability. No one knows you better than yourself. The Black is not a place for a 5.9 leader to attempt their first 5.10 route. Climb something challenging but stay within your ability level and remember a lot can happen on a big route. You could be forced to become the leader at any point.
Be prepared. Gather as much beta as possible on the route you plan on doing and the gear that you will need for it. In addition to climbing gear remember that thunderstorms and epics are commonplace at the Black. Give some thought to a light rain jacket.
Don't be afraid to bail. The route will still be there a week from now or next year, you may not if you push it too far.
Follow the rules. There aren't many, it makes you look good and makes for a much more enjoyable experience for all involved. Get your permit, they're free.
Have fun and be safe.

|If you go to the Black- please stop and talk to the present ranger there, whose name is Brent. He is very interrested in getting feed back from climbers on how the park should be managered in the future. The Black is only going to become more and more cowarded and without climbers' input the park system will simple ruber stamp their policies that exist at other parks- which are sometimes less than ideal.Here is your chance to not just simply bitch and moan (which i find myself doing way to often), but affect some change or hopefully no change- whatever you would like to see happen please give Brent your input.

Temperatures in late May and early June can be just fine in the Black. As an added benefit, the poison ivy is really starting to leaf out, and the ticks are in full bloom.
If it is really stinking hot, many routes don't go into the sun until late morning / early afternoon (for example Checkerboard Wall, Comic Relief area, Great White Wall area, etc.), so you can hop on these very early in the morning, and by the time the sun hits you will be too committed to do anything about it other than continue climbing (or if you climb fast you will be off them). The shorter climbs at mid-point down the Cruise Gully (er, sorry, "Gulley") like Leisure, Midsummer Nights, etc. will go into shade early afternoon with enough time for the intrepid to complete them before dark (bring a headlamp if you are concerned), although the rock does retain heat pretty well. I know of several energetic civilian climbers who have done link-ups of routes like Comic Relief (early a.m.) with Journey Home (afternoon). Although far from "Hot Flashes" material, this is a classic volume day.
Although considered the "shady side", the bulk of the South Chasm View Wall gets morning sun and on a stinker-hot day can heat up enough to shut you down- that dark rock can get searingly hot. Considering the difficulty "retreating" to the South Rim from a SCVW bailout, you may want to plan car logisitics such that exiting to the North Rim across the tyrolean is an option. Still, SCVW routes may be climbable even in midsummer by heat-tolerant folks who don't realize how much nicer alpine granite is this time of year. There is also well-shaded climbing on the Mirror Wall side of Chillumstone, the Dragon Point Gully, and the few climbs (notably Crystalvision) out of SOFB.
Then again, it could snow in late May / early June!

Hey folks-
I'd like to put in a plug here for being cool in the N. Rim campground. A recent conversation with folks who oughta know suggests that the climber population has been...taking liberties...with the generally good-natured vibe provided by the powers that be.
To wit:
If you can't bring a dogsitter, don't bring a dog.
Considering the nature of the NPS-climber relationship in other parks that shall remain nameless, the North Rim is one of the few jewels of the park system as far as we're concerned. Brent apparently has cut enough slack to climbers that the attention of the higher-ups has been raised. The guy's basically doing his best to keep things cool for everyone up there-- NPS, climbers, campers-- and we need to return the favor. He's not in a position to make this statement, so I'm doing it for him.
The NPS collar only ratchets one way. If things appear unruly to the Black Canyon brass, or their bosses, it's only going to get stricter. Raise your hand if you want to see this happen.
Let's review:

I just wanted to Thank Rob Dillon for his comments. I agree with all these points. Especially the dogs. They don't climb, why have one? They just eat up your climbing funds and other peoples food etc....
The Climbing Ranger, Brent is an extremly valuable asset to the Black Canyon. I hope he's around for a while. He gave me and my friend Erik some great route beta.
Thank Brent!

|The organization of this page is a little questionable. There are a lot of distinct areas like Chasm View, but there's also a bunch of routes sitting around in "North Rim Routes". Should we create areas for each piece of the canyon rather than have a bunch of routes without any geographic location other than "North Rim Routes"?

Jun 26, 2016
After many years of work, I am pleased to announce that there is a new guidebook for the Black Canyon....
The Black. A Comprehensive Climbing Guide to Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is available through K. Daniels Publishing:
At 512 pages, this full color guidebook is packed with dozens of new lines, detailed approach information and pitch by pitch descriptions, pictures of the walls, first ascent stories, historic photos and action shots, ten essays, and hand drawn topos for some of the better routes in the Black.
A huge debt of gratitude goes to Josh Wharton, Jonathan Schaffer, Ed Webster, Topher Donahue, Kent Wheeler, Steve Levin, Jeff Achey, Robert Warren, Jimmy Newberry and so many others who helped make this book happen.
See you in the Black this fall!

Liberal Studies
Academic Year: 2009 – 2010
The structure of the B.A. in Liberal Studies emphasizes the integration of key learning categories with a variety of instructional methods to form a well-rounded and individualized academic experience. Through customized learning activities, the degree assists students in enhancing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, living as engaged and responsible citizens, considering ethics and consequences of actions, and being familiar with a broad and integrated core of knowledge.
Through careful self-assessment and goal-setting, Liberal Studies students design individual degree plans in consultation with their advisor/instructor in LIS 301 Self-Directed Learning. Students identify learning needs and strategies for meeting those needs through independent study, service learning, and credit for prior learning assessment, and non-credit activities as well as coursework selected from throughout the university. In order to plan a balanced degree, students choose electives that address the following eight broad subject categories: identity, work, nature, institutions, language, heritage, art, and tools.
On completion of LIS 301, degree plans are approved by the department, although it is expected that the degree plan will change as new courses or ideas emerge for the student. Revisions are approved by the advisor.
Although degree plans must be broad enough to meet the interdisciplinary goals of the degree, students may choose a thematic focus for their degrees, such as international studies or human resource development. In addition, students may have a minor such as Philosophy, Women and Gender Studies, or African-American Studies. Online students should be aware that not all of the areas available to students taking classes on campus are available online.
Students can complete the curriculum in the classroom, entirely online via the Internet, or in combination. Learners have a good chance for success in the Liberal Studies degree if they are self-directed, able to plan ahead and meet deadlines, disciplined enough to organize individualized programs of study, and able to work independently to set and meet goals. In addition, students who choose to participate in Liberal Studies Online should be comfortable using networked information technologies, navigating the Internet, using e-mail, and learning from a distance.

The Liberal Studies degree formally begins with LIS 301 Self-directed Learning, which should be taken during the first semester of a student's junior year. Prior to this, students should work with their advisors to ensure that they have completed the required general education curriculum and the prerequisites necessary to enter their junior year. Campus-based students who begin their degrees at UIS must complete the general education curriculum before receiving permission to enter LIS 301. To receive this permission, campus-based students must submit a written request to the department office. Contact the program office or visit the LIS website for details.
Online Students
Entrance to the online program is selective and the number of students admitted each semester is limited. Applicants must have completed two semesters of college-level composition courses to be considered for admission. Questions about availability should be directed to the program coordinator.
Before an admission decision can be made, a prospective student must complete the application process:
* Submit the UIS admissions application, including signature sheet and application fee;
* Send transcripts from all past colleges or universities;
* Submit a written statement (described below).
The statement plays a major role in admission to the online degree. It should be approximately two pages and should reflect junior-level college writing skills.
The statement should include:
* A clear, concise statement of academic and/or professional goals;
* Why a non-traditional, interdisciplinary program is the pathway to these goals;
* A discussion of things that the applicant has been taught outside of an academic environment;
* A discussion of online and/or technical skills;
* A discussion of the skills and/or resources that the applicant possesses that will help them to succeed as an online student, as well as the challenges that may interfere with their success: time management, access to a computer and the Internet, or other factors.
Major Requirements
Required (6 Hrs.)
LIS 301 Self-Directed Learning 4 Hrs.
LIS 451 Senior Seminar 2 Hrs.
LIS electives (4 Hrs.)

* There are no classroom meetings for these courses. Students sign independent study contracts with faculty sponsors.
In order to plan a balanced degree program (at least two courses in each area are recommended), students choose electives that address the following eight broad subject categories, also referred to as subject area courses:
* Identity, the search for meaning
* Work, the value of vocation
* Nature, ecology of the planet
* Institutions, the social web
* Language, the crucial connection
* Heritage, the living past
* Art, the esthetic dimension
* Tools, those skills and abilities critical to completing a customized learning program, as well as navigating life, career, etc.
Students should consult with advisors in the major for specific guidance regarding completion of general education requirements.
Communication Skills
All competencies necessary to attain the student's goals, including communication skills, are addressed in the degree plan. Assessment of written communication skills occurs when the student conducts a self-assessment in preparing the plan and the LIS 301 instructor assesses his/her written communication skills as documented by the plan. The student plans appropriate learning experiences to acquire any needed skills in consultation with the LIS 301 instructor. These learning experiences are included as part of the degree plan. Completion of the degree plan constitutes certification of communication skills as required by UIS.
Grading Policy
The following courses are offered only on a CR/NC basis: LIS 301, LIS 380, LIS 451, and LIS 499.

In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Having previously sampled the meatball sandwich at Lower East Side snack spot Wolfnights, we decided to try one of the lighter options from the menu: the Howling ($7.95), a wrap filled with chicken, feta, melon, a mint yogurt sauce, and, oh yeah, a fried pickle (we said lighter, not light). Though the menu promised wonderful-sounding date and pumpkin seed flatbread, we got a plain white one—luckily, a soft, stretchy, well-seasoned white wrap, but still, it would be nice to try that crazy date one just once. The chicken inside was very moist and seasoned with a fragrant, clove-heavy spice rub, much like jerk chicken. The feta cheese, however, was undetectable. The pickle provided some bright acidity, as did the melon, in this case cantaloupe, which was ripe and sweet. This is one chicken sandwich you're not likely to find anywhere else.

Quote of the Week
"By paying attention to the language and art of touch, it is possible to shape a positive birth experience."
— Michele Klein
The Art of Midwifery
I feel traditional herbs for clearing constipation and improving regularity are unsafe for pregnancy. These herbs can tax vital organs with extended use, and in pregnancy the organs are already working hard. The more nutritive food-type plants are still a good option for treating constipation. Bulk fibers in the form of grains and vegetables are a worthwhile choice for keeping the digestive tract clear and the bowels regular. Fiber helps absorb water and keeps constipation at bay.
Oat bran, celery fiber, wheat bran, flaxseeds, prunes, and psyllium husk powder can be found in powdered form and added by the teaspoon to a glass of juice or tea. Mom should take the mixture once in the morning and again in the evening, if needed, to encourage regularity. The powders can also be added to muffins or sprinkled onto cereals. Prunes can be eaten whole and fresh, dried, or juiced. Flaxseeds can be added to baked goods or eaten with grains and salads.

News Flashes
A University of Helsinki, Finland, study of more than 1000 women found that those who consumed more than 500 mg of glycyrrhizin, the active ingredient in licorice, per week during pregnancy were twice as likely to go into labor before 38 weeks gestation than were women who consumed no licorice. Licorice affects hormone production in the adrenal glands and may cause a decrease in potassium levels as well as induce high blood pressure in some people. Licorice may stimulate the production of prostaglandin, which can induce labor.

Stitching a Cesarean Repair
The single-layer uterine repair following cesarean section is carefully described in the literature as follows: "The uterus is closed with a one-layer continuous locking stitch. The peritoneal layers are left open." This means that the uterus is stitched together with single continuous stitching, like a hem. It can be done with locked or unlocked stitches. It also can be done with single interrupted stitches, which are knotted after each single stitch. Locked stitches provide greater control of bleeding than unlocked for the first three hours after repair. After about three hours, it makes no difference whether the stitches are locked or unlocked, because the uterus has shrunk so much that the stitches become loose. The uterus continues to contract for the next six weeks, healing itself slowly as it gets smaller and smaller. The recommended suture is Vicryl (polyglactin). The peritoneal cavity is left unstitched to close on its own.
Double-layer repair generally means that a second row of stitches, locked or unlocked, is made over the first layer of stitches. The second row sometimes includes the opposing edges of the peritoneal cavity. Other times, a third layer of stitches is used to sew the peritoneum together. Finally, the outer skin is closed up.
From 1988 to 2003, 50 scholarly articles were published in the medical literature about single-layer versus double-layer repair. All agreed that single-layer repair of the uterus is significantly faster, by 10 minutes on average. Reducing an operation by 10 minutes means less time under anesthesia and less anesthetic. Intestinal function returns faster, allowing women to eat sooner. They get out of bed significantly sooner and take fewer painkillers. Less suture material and operating room time reduce the cost. Sewing human flesh causes trauma to the tissues; the more stitches, the more broken blood vessels. Large broken vessels must be tied off to stop bleeding. Broken vessels mean more blood loss. More sutures introduce more foreign bodies to the area, and foreign bodies increase the local inflammation, which weakens the strength of the scar that forms. The single-layer technique has the theoretical advantage of less tissue damage, which may result in a stronger bond. Longer surgery is associated with an increased infection rate. Half of the studies show a similar infection rate for the methods and half show a significantly lower infection rate with the single-layer repair. No studies show single-layer repair to cause more fever or infection.
In 2002, Bujold published the third study about the uterine rupture rate of women after single- versus double-layer repairs [Bujold, E., et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol 187: 1199–1202]. Of 1527 women who had their first baby by cesarean and underwent a trial of labor for the second delivery, 21 ruptured. Fourteen of the 21 were in the single-layer repair group; the repair closed the entire thickness of the uterine wall from deciduas to visceral peritoneum with a continuous locking stitch using chromic catgut suture. There were no maternal deaths. The rupture rate for women who delivered their second babies within 24 months of the cesarean section was 2.8% compared with 0.9% in births more than 24 months beyond the cesarean. The women who had a uterine rupture in this study were significantly more likely to have been induced, used an epidural and/or had a previous cesarean for slow labor than the women who did not rupture. The study does not indicate the infection rate at the primary cesarean. High infection rates are associated with the use of catgut sutures and are associated with weak scars. The study confirms previous studies showing that it is not advisable to have another baby within two years of a prior cesarean.
More recently, Durnwald's retrospective study of 768 attempted VBACs after a first birth found no uterine ruptures in the 267 women who had had a single-layer repair [Durnwald, C., and B. Mercer (2003). Am J Obstet Gynecol 189: 925]. The double-layer repair group had a 0.8% uterine rupture rate. Vicryl sutures, which hold tissue together for seven to 10 days, with a continuous unlocked stitch had been used. Chromic catgut loses half its strength within seven to 10 days and sooner if there is an infection—which occurred 25% of the time in Durnwald's double-layer group. Durnwald suggests that using catgut, which deteriorates faster, may account for the higher uterine rupture rate in Bujold's single-layer group.

Forum Talk
I'm writing a research proposal for a class, and I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any articles that have been written on links between what women learn about birth and their actual experience of labor. Primarily I am interested in looking at informal and formal methods of transferring information about birth including media (TV shows, movies), stories shared between friends and family, and childbirth education.

Question of the Week
Q: I had beautiful skin before I had children. Late in my first pregnancy my face began to break out in horrible acne. It lasted more than a year before it started to get better. At the time I had a lot of stress in my life with work, school, a misdiagnosis that had me fearing I would lose the baby, and a cesarean. I attributed it to this and the usual hormones associated with pregnancy and breastfeeding. Since I was breastfeeding, no dermatologist would have anything to do with me. I was not willing to give up breastfeeding, but I became reclusive because I was so embarrassed. Now, five years and two more births later, I still struggle with acne, but not nearly as severe. I drink tons of water and eat nutritiously. I am still nursing. Does anyone have any suggestions or insight?

Question of the Week Responses
Q: What information is available regarding breastfeeding when mom is on 20 mg Paxil [antidepressant] and has been throughout pregnancy?
— Betty Jones, York, Pennsylvania
A: Most of the studies done with SSRIs and breastfeeding were done on Zoloft, which is considered safe for breastfeeding. Since Paxil is in the same class of drugs it is also considered safe by the American Academy of Pediatrics and others. One month of taking Paxil while pregnant (which is not found in amniotic fluid) is equivalent to three years exposure of Paxil in breastmilk. So basically don't worry about it. One note is not to abruptly stop Paxil while breastfeeding because of seratonin syndrome. If the mom stops, she should do so very slowly during a wide period of time.
— Susan Wright, CNM, NP
A: According to my sister, who has a PhD in psychology, Paxil may cause low birth weight and prematurity. It is not recommended for anyone to breastfeed while on Paxil. It would be highly recommended that your client do her research and talk to her doctor who prescribed this medication. If she chooses to stop taking Paxil, please warn her that withdrawal from Paxil can be very uncomfortable (I know from personal experience.)
— Kirsten Rohl, CD (DONA), Rochester, New York
A: A better antidepressant to use during pregnancy and/or breastfeeding is Zoloft or Prozac. These medications are considered the safest if you need an SSRI. Of course St John's Wort is also a good choice but is generally better for mild to moderate cases of depression.
— Kathy Metzler, RN
A: There is a lot of disinformation spread about the use of drugs while breastfeeding. Two excellent resources are "Dr. Jack Newman's Guide to Breastfeeding" by Dr. Jack Newman, and Dr. Thomas Hale's "Medications and Mother's Milk." The commonly used pharmacology reference book for doctors is "The Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties" (CPS) in Canada and "Physician's Desk Reference" (PDR) in the United States. Both manufacturers of these books are concerned about medical legal liability, not the mother and breastfeeding baby; therefore, many drugs are listed as not suitable for pregnancy without any real data behind this recommendation. A section in the front of these books has information specific to breastfeeding women and drugs, but most doctors don't consult this section. Any drug taken by a breastfeeding mother is diluted throughout the body.
Dr. Jack's book includes this information specifically about Paxil: "Less than 1% of all the drug the mother has in her body is actually in her blood, the rest being located in other tissue such as fat or brain. Thus, very little of this particular medication can get into the milk" (Dr. Jack Newman's Guide to Breastfeeding, pg.184).
— Kimberly Rigden-Briscall, Crestwood, New York
Regarding vulvar varicosities [Issue 6:21]:
A: Routine chiropractic care works amazingly well for the treatment of vulvar varicosities. A good support belt such as the V2 support belt can be a wonderful aid in relieving pressure from the varicosities as her belly grows.
— Kimberly McCarty, CD (DONA), Chicago, Illinois
A: A client successfully used acupuncture, which helped stabilise and reduce a previously worsening case further on in the pregnancy. She previously had had an awful pregnancy, but this time it was much better. If you have good acupuncturists, use them for this condition as well as a good diet.
— Sue
A: I had terrible vulvar varicosities when I was pregnant with my second and third babies (they occurred in the same spot where I had burst an artery delivering my first). Standing was very, very uncomfortable and achy, although walking around was okay. Besides lying down and applying ice (impossible with two small children to watch), I found one real godsend: a pregnancy girdle. I cut the belly part off because it felt too tight and I didn't need it, but the underwear part gave good strong all-day vulvar pressure and provided almost complete relief. I truly don't know what I would have done without it. (I bought the Leading Lady maternity girdle online and then tailored it.)
— Sarah, mother, Massachusetts
Regarding severe menstrual cramping [Issue 6:20]:
A: You are absolutely right in your thinking that you do not like your body being pumped full of hormones. We do not have all the specifics but it would be worth a shot for you to go and get evaluated by a chiropractor. Chiropractic works by helping your body heal itself. Often, imbalances in your nervous system can lead to other disturbances in your body such as hormonal shifts. A chiropractic evaluation would determine if you have subluxations (interferences to your nervous system) and if your body could benefit from those potentials being released.
A lot of women suffering from menstrual pain have been helped by chiropractic. One of my greatest chiropractic resources is the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. It has lots of information about chiropractic in general and with regard to pregnant women and children. Go to: www.icpa4kids.org
They also have a referral page so you can locate a chiropractor near you.

As a physician in a homebirth practice, I appreciate that you include a News Flash section in your newsletter. It is extremely important that practitioners are up to date on medical literature. My complaint, however, is that many of the studies mentioned are very old and may be outdated. In my opinion, a News Flash should be in regard to actual news—recently published studies. For example, in the last issue there was an article mentioned from 1995. This is ancient in terms of medical literature, which quickly becomes old news. I fear those using these as references may be discredited for this reason. May I suggest that articles older than two years not be included? While this may present a challenge to always find a current article, I believe this may be a case where old news is worse than no news.
— Lana A. Doxtater, MD, Rolling Meadows, Illinois
[Editor's Reply: In the vast majority of cases, studies conducted several years past still stand. We all walk the tightrope of trying to stay fully informed, up to date, yet able to determine and appreciate the validity and longevity of older studies. Because we live in an age of instant access to information, the temptation is to assume if it's new, it's best, and what's "old" (and the criteria for determining what's old these days are stunning!) no longer applies. E-News tries to strike a balance and provide solid information. Perhaps the column title News Flash is misleading! We appreciate your words of caution, and always invite readers to submit these kinds of comments to help guide us. We also invite readers to submit news items—please cite your source! And we invite readers' comments on this topic.]
I would like to offer some comments in response to the Quote of the Week, "When a woman births at home, it is a demonstration of civil and medical disobedience that defies the medicalization of her body's normal function while it honors her inherent, amazing power" [Issue 6:20] that I hope will dilute the militant and off-balance tone I perceived when reading it.
I have been receiving Midwifery Today E-News for several years in anticipation of being able to realize my dream of motherhood ushered in by a natural, glorious birth. My dream was realized six months ago when supported by my husband, doula, and CNM, I pushed my daughter into the world with great gusto and excitement.
I chose to give birth in a hospital in metro Atlanta that was supported by several practices with many CNMs to choose from and where my baby never left my side. I traveled more than an hour for my prenatal care and subjected my husband to a nail-biting drive to the hospital (I actually found lying on my side in the back seat of our old Oldsmobile relaxing as the car vibrates quite a lot when driven at high speeds!). Besides being willing to travel, I also budgeted our tight finances to employ an incredible doula. I did my homework well, reading voraciously about birth for the past several years and keeping my body in top condition through exercise and nutrition.
I chose to give birth at my selected hospital because I felt like I had the best of both worlds—a natural, hands-off birth (because of the great care I gave in selecting my birth team) and emergency equipment close by, should the need arise.
I relate my hospital birth experience because I want other expectant mothers to realize that a great hospital birth is very possible. It was not "the medicalization of her body's normal function" but a support of the birth I always dreamed of and that became a reality.

Wrestling Today: Fans, Attitude Era, WWE, and TNA
by, 10-13-2012 at 09:03 PM (5701 Views)
Hello my skeptical wrestling fans.
I have always said that sorry for my English language but blame the awful teachers here in Sweden.
Well this time I am going to give my opinion about a few topics that bugs me in a different way, either bad or good it doesn't matter. I still feel that I should write this so I can get it out.
Wrestling fans
I have been a wrestling fan since 1998 and I taped and watched both WCW and WWF. If you didn't figure this out yet I am from Sweden and I think we don't have so many diehard fans here. So it's very rare to talk with people here about wrestling. That's why I always read everybody's comments on EWN so I can get a view of how wrestling fans are and what they like or dislike. If we look at today's fans we read a couple of hatred comments about wrestling today and we praise the wrestling from the past. But to me I think that almost half off you guys like what you are watching, well maybe everything, but most part of it. It doesn't matter if it is WWE or TNA you still watch it every week even if it is bad or good.
And almost all of you don't have a good solution or idea of what to improve or change even if we don't have the power to do anything you can still give us your opinion in a good way. I have read a couple of comments that have "suck" "horrible" "awful" and etc. type of comments and to me if you want to join the "conversation" about the weeks show type a comment that actually matter to the topic. I don't have any problems with "American wrestling fans" because some of you can actually do a mature conversation with other people and post interesting opinions.
Attitude Era
And to you "Attitude Era fans" and I am one of you guys, Attitude era wasn't so good compared to today's storylines/feuds. I have recently watched 2 months of both Raw is War and Smackdown from 2000 because I wanted to know what did we actually like or was it that good that we think it is. So based on the 2 months I recently watched (I know almost everything about AE : D) I actually discovered that it wasn't so good. Well I should explain myself. Sure we had the McMahon-Helmsley faction which to me was one of the best things ever on WWE TV but apart from that and The Radicalz we didn't have those good matches on TV, on PPV we always saw a 5star match but on television it was a rare thing.
That's why I wanted to write about the Best WWF Raw is War matches but I didn't get a chance by the EWN admins. But I am not going to bash us hardcore wrestling fans because if I do it I shoot myself in the foot. So if you are an AE fan and watch today's wrestling please have this in your mind: Wrestling will always change but it is still wrestling even if we don't see the moves we were used to watch.
I should start with that I have watched TNA since 2005 but started to watch it again in 2009 till now. And to me if we look at what TNA is doing now it's pretty awesome. We have almost a decent or higher storyline on every match on the Bound for Glory PPV card. TNA has done a huge success in my opinion this summer. By just going live was a wonderful thing to do. But what's sad to me is that even if we had a very nice BFG series for example TNA is still where it was before going live. We have seen really good matches every week and have seen good storylines over this summer, but still we have the ratings talk (and I should be included in that) because if more people actually saw TNA they would see a good wrestling show from the first second to the last second.
I think that TNA have shown that they actually have a chance to push WWE to a limit where WWE needs to do something. But if TNA doesn't show their product to the whole "world" how they can go to the level WWE is at now. I hope from the bottom of my heart that TNA can go up in viewers a bit so they can expand their product even more. And maybe we get a new battle which doesn't end in the same ending that it did in 2001.
Anyone interested in AJ? Well not me. I was at the time she was with Bryan but the whole GM thing doesn't fit her. I was never positive about her as GM of Raw but I thought I should give it a chance because it cannot be worse than Adamle. I was right it wasn't worse than Adamle but it wasn't that good either. But I don't blame AJ that much but the WRITERS! I have been writing on Excel Office about my own Wrestling brand. I included almost every WWF superstar from 2000 and put them in matches and storylines. For the first couple of months it wasn't that hard to include them in matches and storylines but as the month went it was harder and harder to use my mind and have interesting matches (even if it was only for me I find it amusing)
But if we look at the WRITERS! We have seen no type of effort to entertain us wrestling fans. They use the same type of matches every week. We have a couple of tag matches here and a couple of Singles matches there. Sure it can be interesting if we see it say 3-6 times a month or so but have a Tag Team main event 3 times in a row is just laziness. I would example have maybe a Tornado tag or why not a triple threat steel cage match. Just a nice stipulation so the "Fans" doesn't change the channel because it's the PTP vs. Sin Cara and Rey in a regular tag team match or Del Rio vs. Kingston in a singles match. Put a stipulation, not every week maybe but so we can actually wait for the match and don't regret it later after we figured it out that the match was boring or wasn't that good.
This was maybe everything that was in my mind about wrestling. I am very known that these type of things get posted on EWN almost every time but I think this was a bit different than the others even if it's not it was my opinion and I hope you guys can post your own or else my time I wrote this was meaningless.
Thank you EWN for this site so we wrestling fans can talk, express our feelings, be mad, be happy about wrestling in general.

Teniposide (Vumon®, VM-26)
Pronounced: TEN-i-POE-side
Classification: Topoisomerase inhibitor
About Teniposide (Vumon®, VM-26)
Teniposide works by preventing cells from entering mitosis (cell division). The mechanism of action appears to be related to the inhibition of type II topoisomerase activity, an important enzyme in DNA replication. Teniposide causes breaks and cross-links in DNA, preventing it from being replicated, in turn inhibiting cell division and slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells.
How to Take Teniposide
Teniposide is given by intravenous (into a vein) infusion over a period of 30-60 minutes. The dosage and schedule is determined by the person's size, type of cancer and the regimen being used.
Your blood pressure may drop while this medication is being infused. When receiving this medication through a vein, your nurse will be checking your blood pressure before and during the infusion. It may become necessary to stop the administration of this medication or slow down the infusion rate if your blood pressure drops.
Even when carefully and correctly administered by trained personnel, this drug may cause feeling of burning and pain. There is a risk that this drug may leak out of the vein at the injection site, resulting in tissue damage that can be severe. If the area of injection becomes red, swollen, or painful at anytime during or after the injection, notify your doctor or nurse immediately. Do not apply anything to the site unless instructed by your doctor or nurse.
Medications such as tolbutamide, sodium salicylate and sulfamethizole may interact with teniposide. Make sure your provider is aware of all medications and supplements you are taking. This medication contains a small amount of alcohol and may cause you to feel drowsy.
Possible Side Effects of Teniposide
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of teniposide. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Low White Blood Cell Count (Leukopenia or Neutropenia)
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
- Washing hands, both yours and your visitors, is the best way to prevent the spread of infection.
- Avoid large crowds and people who are sick (i.e.: those who have a cold, fever or cough or live with someone with these symptoms).
- When working in your yard, wear protective clothing including long pants and gloves.
- Do not handle pet waste.
- Keep all cuts or scratches clean.
- Shower or bath daily and perform frequent mouth care.
- Do not cut cuticles or ingrown nails. You may wear nail polish, but not fake nails.
- Ask your doctor or nurse before scheduling dental appointments or procedures.
- Ask your doctor or nurse before you, or someone you live with, has any vaccinations.
Low Red Blood Cell Count (Anemia)
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion.
Low Platelet Count (Thrombocytopenia)
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nose bleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If the platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
- Do not use a razor (an electric razor is fine).
- Avoid contact sports and activities that can result in injury or bleeding.
- Do not take aspirin (salicylic acid), non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) such as Motrin®, Aleve®, Advil®, etc. as these can all increase the risk of bleeding. Unless your healthcare team tells you otherwise, you may take acetaminophen (Tylenol).
- Do not floss or use toothpicks and use a soft-bristle toothbrush to brush your teeth.
Mouth Ulcers (Sores)
Certain cancer treatments can cause sores or soreness in your mouth and/or throat. Notify your doctor or nurse if your mouth, tongue, inside of your cheek or throat becomes white, ulcerated or painful. Performing regular mouth care can help prevent or manage mouth sores. If mouth sores become painful, your doctor or nurse can recommend a pain reliever.
- Brush with a soft-bristle toothbrush or cotton swab twice a day.
- Avoid mouthwashes that contain alcohol. A baking soda and/or salt warm water mouth rinse (2 level teaspoons of baking soda or 1 level teaspoon salt in an eight ounce glass of warm water) is recommended 4 times daily.
- If your mouth becomes dry, eat moist foods, drink plenty of fluids (6-8 glasses), and suck on sugarless hard candy.
- Avoid smoking and chewing tobacco, drinking alcoholic beverages and citrus juices.
Nausea and/or Vomiting
Talk to your doctor or nurse so they can prescribe medications to help you manage nausea and vomiting. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Your oncology team can recommend medications to relieve diarrhea. Also, try eating low-fiber, bland foods, such as white rice and boiled or baked chicken. Avoid raw fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, cereals and seeds. Soluble fiber is found in some foods and absorbs fluid, which can help relieve diarrhea. Foods high in soluble fiber include: applesauce, bananas (ripe), canned fruit, orange sections, boiled potatoes, white rice, products made with white flour, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat, and farina. Drink 8-10 glasses on non-alcoholic, un-caffeinated fluid a day to prevent dehydration.
Loss or Thinning of Scalp and Body Hair (Alopecia)
Your hair may become thin, brittle, or may fall out. This typically begins two to three weeks after treatment starts. This hair loss can be all body hair, including pubic, underarm, legs/arms, eyelashes, and nose hairs. The use of scarves, wigs, hats and hairpieces may help. Hair generally starts to regrow soon after treatment is completed. Remember your hair helps keep you warm in cold weather, so a hat is particularly important in cold weather or to protect you from the sun.
Secondary Malignancies
There is a slight risk of developing leukemia or other type of cancer due to treatment with this medication, which can occur many years later. This is most often associated with repeated treatments or high doses.
Allergic Reactions
In some cases, patients can have an allergic reaction to this medication. Signs of a reaction can include: shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chills, fever, rash, flushing or itching or a decrease in blood pressure. If you notice any changes in how you feel during the infusion, let your nurse know immediately.
For men, this drug may affect your reproductive system, resulting in sperm production becoming irregular or stopping permanently. You may want to consider sperm banking if you may wish to have a child in the future. Discuss these options with your oncology team.
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe you are not producing sperm. You should consult with your healthcare team before breastfeeding while receiving this medication.

HOUSTON - A landscaper has been accused of borrowing money from a 91-year-old customer and repaying her with fake cash.
Jeffrey Layton, 49, has been charged with forgery.
Houston police said Layton asked the 91-year-old woman to write him checks for more than he was owed. He said he needed a loan to help pay a debt he owed, investigators said.
The woman had no problem loaning Layton the money, but she asked him to begin paying it back immediately, detectives said.
According to court documents, Layton paid the woman back with fake $100 bills.
The woman didn't know the cash was fake until her daughter questioned it, police said. The daughter took the cash to a nearby bank and an employee there determined it was counterfeit, investigators said.
Sources told KPRC Local 2 that Layton was arrested outside a Harris County courthouse Tuesday, when he showed up to face charges on a 2009 forgery case.
Layton is being held in the Harris County Jail with bond set at $10,000.
Layton's criminal history includes convictions on theft, weapons and drug charges.

CUTS to council staff and managers' salaries which could save Monmouthshire county council £585,000 will be discussed by councillors today.
As part of the proposals regarding posts and salaries in the council's operations department that have been put forward in a report by the council's head of operations, Roger Hoggins, a chief officer's salary would be £55,000, half that of the chief executive's.
It says the pay "fairly reflects the roles and responsibilities" of the jobs.
The council is currently consulting with unions on the plans.
But the report says it is "quite possible" the staffing structures could remain unchanged.
The council's report says redundancies will be "avoided as far as possible", but it will be looking for people to leave their jobs voluntarily by reducing posts in the operations department from 170 to 149.
The cuts are part of plans passed at the recent budget meeting, and will be phased in over the next financial year and 2015/16.
Monmouthshire council's cabinet member with responsibility for county operations, Councillor Bryan Jones, said: "The council is endeavouring to protect services to the public as far as possible.
"We are looking at alternative ways of service delivery but we have also looked at how we might maintain the services with reduced management and administration costs.
"We recognise the value that our employees bring to the authority but we have asked officers to look at how we might change the way we work without reducing the front line service.
"The exercise has indicated ways in which the staff numbers might be reduced and officers are now seeking member approval to proceed with the changes."
Salaries for apprentices are not included in the council's proposal, but it is proposed that next year
As part of the plans, the waste and recycling group of the council will be moved to an environment and customer contact section.
Two two managers' positions, who both earn £49,525 every year, will be merged to make a head of waste and street services, who will earn £55,000.
The grounds and facilities group will keep its name but the most senior member of its management will see their job title change.
The grounds and facilities manager, who earns £49,525 a year, will move into the operations and commercial manager's job, and will earn £45,627 a year.

Mother was more than four times the drink-drive limit when she crashed in Asda car park, a court was told
11:58am Tuesday 11th March 2014
11:58am Tuesday 11th March 2014
A MOTHER-OF-FIVE was caught four and a half times the drink-drive limit after a collision in the Asda car park in Quedgeley, a court heard.
Saffron Poole, 40, of Brize Avenue, in Quedgeley, had consumed two to three bottles of wine at a friend's house before driving her Peugeot 206, Stroud Magistrates' Court heard on Monday, March 10.
Police were called to a road traffic collision in the supermarket car park around 8pm on January 11, the court heard.
Officers found she had 360 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of her blood - more than four times the drink-drive limit of 80 milligrammes.
"As the door opened the driver fell out of the vehicle. Officers could smell alcohol," said Kathryn Jenkins, prosecuting.
"She was taken to the police station and is described as being unable to stand.
"She was not able to carry out a breath test due to medical reasons so a blood test was taken.
"When interviewed by police she said she had drank two to three bottles of wine between noon and 8pm at a friend's house.
"She had gone to Asda from her friend's house and admitted she was drunk."
Magistrate Dr Hazel Padfield said: "The reading is so high it is off the scale in our sentencing guidelines.
"Custody is an option.
"We will be taking into account the very high reading and the aggravated factor of the incident."
The case was adjourned until April 7 at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court for a pre-sentence report to be prepared.
An interim driving disqualification was ordered.

Matheny dealing with food poisoning, back pain
JUPITER, Fla. -- A day after being hit by, as he described it, a "double-whammy" of discomfort, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was back in the dugout on Saturday.
Bench coach Mike Aldrete served as manager in Kissimmee, Fla., on Friday while Matheny was dealing with food poisoning and a herniated disc that was radiating pain into his right leg.
Matheny said he had a bulging disc that bothered the left side of his body in 2006, his final year with the Giants. He managed it sufficiently enough at the time, though the recurrence of pain this week will be addressed with an epidural shot on Monday morning. Matheny said that he does not anticipate that affecting his availability to run workouts and manage the team later that day.
"I was wondering how long I'd be able to make it with my back," he said. "I don't know what happened to make it go to the other side. It might just be that it's a weakened area. It's all a part of the joys of catching."

19 fun car road trip activities
Turn an ordinary drive into a world of fun adventures and possibilities. more
While it's true that children do most of their growing at night, it is extremely unlikely that the rate of growth (even during a growth spurt) could ever cause pain. And while most children experience the onset of growing pains between the ages of 3-5 years, it is during puberty that children do most of their growing.
What causes growing pains - and why only some children experience them - is not known exactly. Possibilities include:
See your doctor if you are worried by the extent of your child's pain, or suspect that there is something more serious going on - if the pains are very severe and persistent, if there is a limp or swelling, or an affected part is tender or feels hot.

Master's degrees conferred at Muskingum College's 11th Graduate Commencement, Dr. C. William Fischer offers views on Leadership
AUGUST 11, 2003 - Muskingum College held its 11th graduate school commencement exercises on Saturday, August 9 at 10:00 a.m. in the Recreation Center on the campus. Both the master of arts in education degree and the inaugural class of the master of arts in teaching degree were conferred.
Presenting the commencement address was noted public administrator and educator Dr. C. William Fischer, a 1953 Muskingum College alumnus and trustee. His address, titled "Leadership" focused on maintaining a strong set of core leadership values as the key to a successful and meaningful career as an educator.
Dr. Fischer said, "Today, we gather to honor the great tradition of universal education in this country. Education may certainly be this country's greatest asset, because we are the most powerful country on earth. And it is we who are this country, not the government. That is essential to our continued success."
In recognition of his career achievements, Dr. Fischer was granted an honorary doctorate of public service degree. Present for the conferral was Arnold R. Weber, president emeritus of Northwestern University.
Muskingum College President Anne C. Steele said of Dr. Fischer, "He is a dedicated public servant and educator who, through his work, has changed the lives of countless Americans. As educators, we can all understand and admire the impact he has had on our field."
A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Dr. Fischer has distinguished himself as a public servant and educator. Following his graduation from Muskingum, he served during the Korean War as a member of the U.S. Army Signal Corps.
Following his tour of duty, Dr. Fischer joined the U.S. Executive Office of the President as a member of the Bureau of the Budget and Office of Management and Budget. From 1957 to 1975, he served under four U.S. Presidents in a series of increasingly responsible positions.
His accomplishments and leadership were recognized with a Professional Achievement Award and an Advanced Studies Award Fellowship to Harvard University. As a graduate student at Harvard, he earned a master's degree in public administration in 1964.
During the decades of the 1970s and 1980s, Dr. Fischer served in a variety of capacities in the federal government, including Congressional Budget Office and the Department of Energy. In 1978, Dr. Fischer received Muskingum College's Distinguished Alumni Award, its highest alumni honor. When the U.S. Department of Education was created in 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed Dr. Fischer as its first assistant secretary of Education for Planning and Budget.
In recognition of his achievements, Dr. Fischer was elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration in 1988.
Dr. Fischer left government service in 1981 and began a career in higher education leadership. For more than nine years, he was vice president for budget and finance and chief financial officer for the University of Colorado system. At Brandeis University, he served as the executive vice president before joining Northwestern University as senior vice president for business and finance, where he served until 1997.
Dr. Fischer and his wife, Betty Taylor Fischer, a 1953 Muskingum alumna, currently reside in Colorado. The have four children and nine grandchildren.
The invocation and benediction was presented by Muskingum College Minister Reverend Ashley J. Beavers. Candidates for both the master of arts in education and the master of arts in teaching were presented by Dr. George Sims, Muskingum's vice president for academic affairs. Degrees were conferred and diplomas presented by Muskingum College President Dr. Anne C. Steele, Master of Arts in Education Director Dr. Rolf G. Schmitz and Master of Arts in Teaching Director Dr. Linda Morrow.

text: Nomis07 Posted October 30, 2008 Just back to work after a couple of days off and as it was the end of the month I decided to go shopping and treat myself to some new CD's and DVD's. One of the CD's I bought was Radiohead's OK Computer (an album i've always loved, and have bought on at least 4 occasions and lost on at least 4 occasions), when I put it on in the car on the way home memories of CM97/98 came flooding back, I spent a majority of my CM97/98 playing time listening to that album. Maybe i'm the only one, but when I think about CM97/98 I think about OK Computer and vice versa. It got me thinking about CM/FM anthems, and wondering if anyone else has an album/song that reminds them of the CM/FM series? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
