Jaime, Shreve hop back into Braves' bullpen
ATLANTA -- Right-hander Juan Jaime and left-hander Chasen Shreve did not need any introductions when they entered the Braves' clubhouse to prepare for Monday afternoon's game against the Phillies. Both had been brought to the Majors earlier this year to be a part of Atlanta's bullpen.
Jaime and Shreve were the only pitchers the Braves promoted when all Major League teams were permitted to begin using an expanded roster on Monday. This year's other September roster additions were catcher Christian Bethancourt, outfielder Jose Constanza and utility man Joey Terdoslavich.
Jaime produced a 3.51 ERA, notched 63 strikeouts and issued 36 walks while recording 18 saves for Triple-A Gwinnett this season. After his second stint in Atlanta's bullpen concluded in August, the flame-throwing right-hander registered eight strikeouts and issued three walks in 5 1/3 innings for Gwinnett.
While command remains a concern for Jaime, he did show some improvement as the season progressed. Seemingly disgruntled when he was sent back to Gwinnett after pitching effectively for Atlanta in June and July, he walked 13 of the 50 batters he faced from June 30-July 26. He walked just seven of the final 43 batters he faced while pitching for both Atlanta and Gwinnett from July 29-Aug. 30.
After making the jump from Double-A Mississippi after the All-Star break, Shreve allowed one run and six hits in the five innings he completed for Atlanta. But the primary reason he did not stay at the Major League level was the fact he allowed left-handed hitters to go 5-for-9 against him.
Though Shreve gives the Braves another lefty in the bullpen, he has performed much like James Russell, who has had better success against right-handed hitters this year. During the 46 appearances he combined to make for Gwinnett and Double-A Mississippi, Shreve allowed left-handed hitters to bat .286 with a .321 on-base percentage. Right-handed hitters batted .202 with a .245 on-base percentage against him.

All of our cats and kittens have been fostered in a home environment and are litter box trained, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and have been tested for FIV and FeLV prior to being made available for adoption.
Request an adoption application by emailing: firstname.lastname@example.com
Online adoption application:
Our primary focus is to humanely and non-lethally reduce the numbers of free-roaming community cats in the City of Edmond via an aggressive Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program.
TNR is the most effective long-term approach to reducing the feral cat population in the City of Edmond. TNR involves humanely trapping, spaying/neutering, vaccinating, marking for identification, and then returning of feral cats to the location from which they were trapped so that they may live out their lives. TNR respects feral cats' right to live, and their niche in the community, without adding to the homeless cat population. TNR stabilizes the feral cat population and, over time, reduces it while substantially reducing or eliminating nuisance behaviors.
Through the process of TNR, we regularly encounter friendly, unowned, stray cats as well as young kittens that can be socialized and put into adoption when room in foster homes is available.
We have adoption events at the Quail Springs Petco every 1st and 2nd Saturday of the month. And at the Edmond Petsmart, 1921 S. Broadway, on the 3rd Saturday of the month.
Thank you for your interest in adopting a rescued cat. Each year there are tens of thousands of cats that are made homeless in Oklahoma City and the surrounding areas. Sadly, there are more cats than there are suitable homes.
We take adoptions very seriously. Our adoptable cats are typically found as strays trying to survive in feral cat colonies where they were either abandoned, neglected, or abused. We are the only advocates for the cats we rescue, and feel that it is critical for our adoptable cats be placed in safe, loving, caring and permanent homes. Whether you plan to adopt an adult cat or a kitten, you are making a 10-20 year commitment to that feline. Therefore, we reserve the right to deny the adoption of a cat to anyone whom we feel will not provide humane, responsible, and lifetime care of the cat.
All of our cats and kittens have been fostered in a home environment and are litter box trained, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, spayed/neutered, microchipped, and have been tested for FIV and FeLV prior to being made available for adoption.
Though not a requirement in most cases, we encourage you to at least consider adopting kittens in pairs. Kittens find it especially comforting – and having a built-in playmate often helps them integrate into their new family more easily.
Thank You!

Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply.

A fever is a rise in body temperature. It's usually a sign of infection. The fever itself is generally harmless and probably helpful. Fevers usually don't need treatment.
The average body temperature is 98.6 F (37 C). But normal body temperature can range between 97 (36.1) and 99 (37.2) or more. Your body temperature can vary depending on how active you are or the time of day. Generally, older people have lower body temperatures than younger people.
The following thermometer readings generally indicate a fever:
When you or your child is sick, the main goal is to relieve discomfort and promote rest. Treating a fever neither shortens nor particularly prolongs the course of an illness.
Children with relatively high fevers may not look or act particularly sick. Treating a fever depends on the degree of discomfort. If your child is uncomfortable or restless, these home care strategies may help:
Give your child acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Children's Motrin, others) as directed on the label.
Note these precautions:
Treat adults with a fever based on how they look and feel. Adults with fevers of 103 F (39.4 C) or higher will generally look and act sick. Use the same home care strategies as listed for children.
Get medical help for a fever if:
Seek emergency medical care if your child has a fever after being left in a hot car or other such potentially dangerous situation and shows any of these warning signs:
Always use a digital thermometer to check someone's temperature. Various types are available, including:
Because of the potential for mercury exposure or ingestion, glass mercury thermometers have been phased out and are no longer recommended.

LANSING, Mich. - Michigan will receive $15 million in funding to help eliminate blight in 34 communities statewide.
Department of Human Services Director Maura Corrigan made the announcement Wednesday.
The money comes from a March 2012 settlement reached by 49 state attorneys general, including Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, following a lawsuit over mortgage foreclosure practices.
Of Michigan's $97.2 million share, the state allocated $25 million to the creation of a Blight Elimination Program to help communities demolish vacant and abandoned properties.
The Blight Elimination Program is a partnership between DHS, the Michigan Land Bank Fast Track Authority (MLB) and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA).
All geographic regions of the state have been represented in funding decisions.
Last year, Michigan received $97 million as part of a settlement with big banks accused of questionable foreclosure practice during the housing crisis.
Nearly a quarter of the money was designated for blight elimination.
Detroit received $10 million to demolish blighted houses and buildings around schools. The other $15 million is being spread around the state.
Read: Detroit has new nonprofit partner to fight blight
"The volume of requests received clearly shows Michigan communities are serious about getting rid of blight and are willing to aggressively pursue opportunities to eliminate it," said Corrigan, also a member of the MSHDA Board of Directors. "People want to live in safe and vibrant communities. Funding these individual projects across our state will help clear the way—literally—for the reinvention of Michigan."
Various communities to see funding:
Genesee County Land Bank: $3,713,240
Ingham County Land Bank: $836,850
City of Plainwell: $720,720
City of Bay City: $269,325
Charter Twp. Of Ypsilanti: $653,840
Grand Traverse County: $44,000
Village of Newberry: $180,000
Kalamazoo County Land Bank: $936,915
City of Muskegon: $111,500
City of Petoskey: $21,000
City of Onaway : $14,000
Leelanau County Land Bank: $58,500
More than 90 separate requests for funds were received by the state during the recent application phase. Communities can apply for funding at www.michigan.gov.

Topic: Does the way we eat raise the chance of getting cancer?
Hi everybody,
Some time ago I introduced myself on this board and told about my husband Peter. Diagnosed in May 2007, surgery broken off and a life prediction of 2-3 months.
Since now, July 2008, he is still doing great (though there are signs the cancer is spreading to the lungs now), we have become greedy and opt for at least another year of quality life.
In this respect, Peter started to read about cancer and he came across a very interesting book by Dr. David Servan-Schreiber. The title is "Anticancer". This dr. in psychiatry had brain tumors twice, and after the second time he started investigating everything he could lay his hands on regarding cancer. He comes to very interesting conclusions regarding our Western eating pattern and the chance of getting cancer.
Peter (who is a chemist by profession) is finding a lot in this book that makes it worthwhile for him (for us) to try and turn around the way we were eating. I have no idea yet, whether it brings us anything. But at least it is a very healthy way of eating and it can at least make his body stronger to fight longer.
I wanted to tell this to you all. It doesnot cost anything and we may win time with it. I'll keep you informed.
Love and strength to all of you,

There will be a new Star Wars film released every summer, starting in 2015.
The 10-year-old in me has never heard anything so exciting, while the 45-year-old is wondering if that means we'll eventually get an entire film revolving around a lovesick jawa.
According to website Coming Soon, Disney announced the news Wednesday at CinemaCon, the movie exhibition trade show in Las Vegas.
The rollout will begin in 2015, with the J.J. Abrams-directed "Episode VII," the continuation of the original story to be written by Michael Arndt. That movie will kick off a new trilogy, while Disney will also work on separate films reportedly focused on characters like a young Han Solo, Boba Fett, and Yoda.
In other words, Disneyland is going to have to expand the gift shop outside of Star Tours.
SHARON WON'T TAKE OZZY BACK -- YET: Sharon Osbourne won't reunite with hubby Ozzy Osbourne until he can prove he can stay sober for the long haul, according to TMZ.
Sources connected to the couple told the website that even though Ozzy says he's been sober for 44 days, it's not enough for Sharon yet. Ozzy himself admitted in a Facebook post on Monday that he's been difficult to be around the past year-and-a-half, as he relapsed and abused substances over that time. Osbourne has a long history of drug and alcohol use, dating back more than 40 years.
Ozzy apologized to his family and his bandmates for his behavior, but said he doesn't believe his 31-year marriage will end.
Did he apologize to any animal whose heads he may or may not remember biting off during that time? What about them?
TMZ's sources apparently said it's not Sharon's intention to end the marriage, but she believes she has to make it clear to Ozzy once and for all that he has to clean up.
"They've been through hell and back together," said a source. "They're not breaking up."
SELENA GOMEZ'S BINDI UPSETS HINDUS: Selena Gomez wearing a bindi at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday angered some in the Hindi community.
Justin Bieber's ex-girlfriend wore the traditional forehead decoration with a Bollywood-inspired outfit while performing the song "Come & Get It." And at least one Hindu group wants an apology.
"The bindi on the forehead is an ancient tradition in Hinduism and has religious significance," Rajan Zed, leader of the Universal Society of Hinduism, said in a statement to entertainment news website WENN. "It is also sometimes referred to as the third eye and the flame, and it is an auspicious religious and spiritual symbol.
"It is not meant to be thrown around loosely for seductive effects or as a fashion accessory aiming at mercantile greed," he added. "Selena should apologize and then she should get acquainted with the basics of world religions."
Well she already tried Bieberism, which didn't work out so well for her.
Plenty of people in the Twitterverse weren't thrilled either, according to E! News.
"(expletive) selena gomez? really. bollywood community r u (mad) because you should be," tweeted @reachguest.
Gomez, 20, hasn't tweeted or offered any kind of response. Or perhaps she did, by wearing it again while performing "Come & Get It" on "Ellen" as well as on "Dancing With the Stars."
"Wow @SelenaGomez... 'Come & Get It' on the #mtvmovieawards was incredible! One of my favorite songs out there right now!" tweeted Britney Spears, while Demi Lovato praised the song itself.
According to E!, the Times of India noted the controversy but also proudly detailed the influences in the song and Gomez's MTV performance, from the male voice singing in Punjabi with a tabla in the background to her classical Indian dance moves.
"While some international blogs are calling it 'tribal finery,' we can spot a good bindi when we see it," wrote the Times' Kritika Kapoor.
There you go.
Gomez isn't the first woman in Hollywood to dress this way. Julia Roberts, Katy Perry, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Miley Cyrus and Jessica Simpson have all been photographed over the years sporting bindis.
'FRIENDS' REUNION NOT HAPPENING: A "Friends" reunion will never happen, according to show co-creator Marta Kauffman.
C'mon ... David Schwimmer's got to eat.
Debunking a Star Media report saying NBC would revive the hit comedy for an 11th season in 2014, Kauffman told E! News the cast -- Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer -- will not be reprising their TV roles.
"I'm going to clear this up right now: no, it's not happening" she said. Kauffman, who co-created the show with David Crane.
Nor will "Friends" get a film treatment, like "Sex and the City." "Friends was about that time in your life when your friends are your family and once you have a family, there's no need anymore," she said. "I'd rather people go, 'Oh, please! Please!' than 'I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.'"
Great. Now what's David Schwimmer going to do?
Aniston has said she would not be interested in doing a reunion show or movie.
"I can't imagine how you would do it, unless you did it years from now," she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2012. "I can't imagine what that would be. It's not normal. 'Friends' is in your living room; 'Friends' is not in a movie theater. It doesn't make sense to me. I think it would be going against its authentic self."
What do you people hate David Schwimmer so much?
Perry, who recently reunited with Cox on his NBC comedy "Go On," said he doesn't watch "Friends" reruns. "I watch some of the outtakes sometimes online because it's just us laughing and having fun, and that's nice," the 43-year-old told Us Weekly. "I look back at it very fondly."
The cast has mixed on other shows over the years. LeBlanc will appear on the new season of Kudrow's Showtime hit "Web Therapy;" Cox and Schwimmer have previously appeared on the series. Aniston has also made guest appearances on Cox's "Cougar Town."
TOM CRUISE WOULDN'T RECRUIT RUSSELL BRAND: Russell Brand tried to get Tom Cruise to recruit him to be a Scientologist.
Brand told Conan O'Brien he dangled bait in front of Cruise while the two filmed "Rock of Ages," but either his pleas fell on deaf ears, or Cruise knew better than to take him seriously.
"Every so often, I'd say thing like, 'Tom, sometimes I'm a bit lost in life.' See if he would try and get me," Brand said. "That man had no interest in getting me in Scientology at all.
Brand reportedly seemed sort of bothered by apparent snub.
"If there's a cult that don't want me, I want to know why," he said.

CONCORD Rangers' brave attempt at reaching the Skrill South play-offs ended with a 1-0 defeat at Sutton but, like the season as a whole, they didn't go down without an almighty fight.
The Beachboys dominated Sutton and only the brilliance of home stopper Jason Brown kept his side in the game.
Time after time he denied Concord while the visitors also felt they were deserving of a penalty when Gary Ogilvie was brought down in the area in the second half when clear through on goal.
In fact, not only should it have been a penalty, Sutton should have been down to 10 men.
But they won a reprieve and with 12 minutes left Craig Dundas headed in at the back post to give them a win that made their second-place position in the table all but secure.
Concord boss Danny Cowley rang the changes for the game with one eye on an energy-sapping closing week to the season that will see them go to Basingstoke tomorrow night, possibly host Ebbsfleet on Thursday (if the Kent side's appeal to not have the game, which was abandoned last week because of flood light failure, replayed is unsuccessful), end their league campaign at home to Bath City on Saturday, before looking forward to a county cup final against Braintree next Tuesday.
But despite the whole-sale changes, Concord were the better side from first whistle to last.
Taylor Miles hit the post with a cross-turned-shot and James White had a goal chalked off after Steve Cawley was adjudged to have pushed his man in the build up to the goal.
In the second half, as well as Ogilvie's penalty shout, Brown produced a stunning double save to deny first Cawley and then Lewis Taafe from close range.
And even after Sutton's goal, Concord refused to give in, with Tony Stokes having two efforts blocked by Brown and then Cawley also going close late on after being set up by Stokes.

Is the sangha in these 2 synonymous?
Tiratana (3 Jewels)
In the Tiratana Vandana, the Sangha is described as "attha purisa puggalā" which means the "eight kinds of individuals." So it is clear that the Sangha of the Tiratana is the Ariya Sangha.
Tisarana (3 Refuges)
In the Tisarana, there is no elaboration of who constitutes the Sangha. However, if we go by the precedent in the suttas, the lay people during the Buddha's time take refuge in the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Bhikkhu Sangha .
This can be found in the stock passage which forms the closing paragraph of many suttas such as the Aggi-Vacchagotta Sutta. Lokayatika Sutta, Abhaya Sutta, Cunda Sutta, etc where the layman, after the discourse by the Buddha concludes by taking refuge in the Buddha, Dhamma and Bhikkhu Sangha, with the verse "Esāhaṃ, bhante, bhagavantaṃ saraṇaṃ gacchāmi dhammañca bhikkhusaṅghañca. Upāsakaṃ maṃ bhagavā dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupetaṃ saraṇaṃ gata nti." which is translated as "I go to the Blessed One for refuge, to the Dhamma, and to the Sangha of monks. May the Blessed One remember me as a lay follower who has gone to him for refuge, from this day forward, for life."

The writing's been on the wall for quite some time, but Six Flags finally filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on Friday. The bankruptcy comes as $2.4 billion in debt is being carried on the park's books. Current CEO Mark Shapiro explains that the bankruptcy is a measure that's being taken due to the hole that the previous management put the company in. I don't think that this is just spin as he took over a pretty troubled company back in 2006. They tried to turn things around by trimming the fat. In 2007, the company sold seven parks to PARC Management. Obviously, that wasn't enough. Here's the scoop on the bankruptcy according to Reuters:
The plan will result in a deleveraging of the company's balance sheet by about $1.8 billion, as well as the elimination of more than $300 million in preferred stock obligations.
"The current management team inherited a $2.4 billion debt load that cannot be sustained, particularly in these challenging financial markets," Mark Shapiro, the chief executive of Six Flags, said in a news release.
"As a result, we are cleaning up the past and positioning the company for future growth."
Shapiro said the action will not affect day-to-day park operations. The bankruptcy filing "paves the way for a full revival of the company," he said.

While bankrupcty carries a negative connotation, it actually helps companies a great deal. Also, it would appear that the company as whole is starting to turn things around. And most importantly, the 'restructuring' as they're calling it on their corporate site, will have "…no impact on the day-to-day operations of our local parks."
No park closings, no ticket price increases (actually prices are down this year), and the company is planning for their 50th Anniversary in 2011. Expect every Six Flags park to have something to boast that's tied to the company's anniversary. While I don't know the inner workings of each Six Flags park or even one of them for that matter I would have to say that the new management just had a heck of a job on their hands in trying to right the ship. But now it looks like there's hope on the horizon. So, while it's easy for the parks to be a punching bag and they're far from perfect, I would say that bankruptcy filing will be a good thing in the long run.

There are herbs galore in this entry of Potato Salad with Labneh and Herbs from Pam at The Backyard Pizzeria. Pam strains Greek yogurt to make Labneh, which she then marinates in chilies and herbs, then uses the labneh in potato salad, with even more herbs.
Erbe in Cucina is an Italian blog specializing in herbs, and Graziana has posts featuring many types of different herbs. Her recipe this week is for Broken Pizza, almost a combination of salad and pizza and featuring basil as well as oregano.
When Susan from Farmgirl Fare had a friend give her some purple basil, last year she was suspicious about how she'd like it. Now fast forward one year later and she's making it into Purple Basil Pesto, which is being used to make delicious looking pizza and white bean dip! Now I want some purple basil!
Betel Leaves
I'm filing this entry under capers, although there is also lots of lovely parsley and fresh dill in the recipe for Farfalle with Smoked Trout and Capers posted by Natashya from Living in the Kitchen with Puppies. There's also some information here about capers if you haven't cooked with them.
When Pam from Sidewalk Shoes checked her fridge and found she had leftover grilled chicken, she visited her herb garden for some chives, rounded up garlic and mayo and made a delightful sounding Garlic Chive Mayo, perfect as a dip for the chicken.
For a while now I've been anxious to try curry leaves, and now here is Curry Leaves Chutney from Dil Se to tempt me once again to use this interesting ingredient. I know this plant is used a lot in India, but I'm wondering if it's grown in the U.S., anyone know?
Edamame (soybeans)
Maggie from Magpie has a new twist on an old favorite with her tasty-sounding Fennel Bulgur Waldorf Salad. I have fennel in my garden this year, so I love getting ideas for how to use it.
Fenugreek Leaves
Garlic Scapes
Garlic Scapes
Green Onions
Maybelle's Mom at Feeding Maybelle has some leftover pie crust, so she decided to turn it into delightful looking Mini Kumquat-Blackberry Pies. I'm filing this under kumquats mostly so you can discover her link for kumquat-star anise marmalade. (My sincere apologies to MM for initially leaving her out of the recap!)
Lavender is a beautiful plant which also has culinary uses and Gwen from Intoxicated Zodiac has used it to flavor a delightful cocktail she's calling Lavender Bees Knees.
If it's hot where you are, Astrid from Paulchen's Food Blog is offering something to help you cool off with her version of Very Berry Lassi with Choc-Mint. There is some good information about mint here too.
Parsnip / Truffles
My own entry this week was Spicy Stir-Fried Radish Greens and/or Swiss Chard. I made this with tender radish greens from my garden mixed about half-and-half with chard leaves, but you can use all chard if you don't have any radish greens.
There are two interesting ingredients in this dish of Red Rice and Dried Scallop Congee from Heart and Hearth in the Phillipines, and if you don't know what congee is, you can find that out too in this post.
Romaine Lettuce
Spring Onions
I learn so much from my fellow bloggers, and now Tigerfish from Teczcape - an Escape to Food is teaching me that Spring Onions, Green Onions, and Scallions Are Not the Same. This informative post is a must-read.
Spruce Tips ( or Pine Tips or Fir Tips)
That's 40 entries for this week, and some really great reads among them. Personally I love learning about new uses for interesting ingredients through Weekend Herb Blogging. Thanks to everyone for the entries. (And don't forget to read the new rules for Weekend Herb Blogging if you haven't seen them.)

Discussion in 'Miscellaneous' started by kgibsonuk, Oct 7, 2012.
Good to see you're still posting here, if only occasionally. Hope life is going well.
I broke both my wrists in seperate accidents and have been unable to type lately, but I'm all better now and ready for the holidays!
Ouch. You say separate, hopefully you were able to use at least one while the other one was healing, if only slightly.
argh! That's some bad luck! And there I thought I was the only one caught in a Murphy-onic field. Hope you get well soon! *hugs*
I've been here for a decade now, but was never one of the most well-known or prolific posters ever.
In the Sports Forum you are.
Well it's a community, not a popularity contest.
I've been here only half that long, and am not well known (or most likely well liked even) either.
I did have one friend around here, but she seems to have dissapered altogether. We used to talk both through PM's here and private email, but I haven't heard from her in almost a year.
Anybody remember Yeoman Randi?
Know her? I occasionally talk to her on the phone and she's one of my good Facebook friends.
Love that woman....and her awesome New Yawk accent.
Who are you? Who are any of you?
Well tell her to come back. She's coming back for XII I hope!!!
I've asked her to come back more often but to be frank she's had some personal things going on in her life and just hasn't had as much spare time as she'd like to spend on the board.
She loves most of you guys, though.
"Most" lolol
I'd love to see her back!
Me too. YR has been a good friend for quite awhile now. I've spoken to her many times and she is the absolute greatest. I remember when Hurricane Sandy came down, I called her as soon as I could and she said that she was fine, her place wasn't damaged or anything like that. I don't think she even lost power.
Also I must give her props not only for being a fellow Mets fan, but also for coining the phrase "Morning cawfee spew." I wish she would return because she deserves to run the VOY caption contests herself. She's the LeadHead of the VOY forum.
So do I. If you talk to her tell her to answer my emails.
Sure thing. Right now Andrew (also from the forums, I believe) is visiting her and she's probably busier than a bee and beaver combined but I'll remind her the next time I call.
LOL that'd make a cute animal A winged spaniel-sized rodent with a sting, the hind legs powdered with pollen.
Happy New Year to all Oldtimers!
I used to have LizardLaugh on my ICQ (wow remember ICQ?). SHe was pretty awesome. Not sure where she is these days.
I still use ICQ occasionally. But then I am old-fashioned
Tried signing in to ICQ recently. Wouldn't let me but still said my account was there.

From 1978 to 1985 Alan Lomax traveled the American South and Southwest with a television crew to document regional folklore with deep historical roots. From the resulting 500 hours of footage Lomax wrote, produced, directed, and narrated five one-hour documentary films focused on African American, Appalachian, and Cajun music and dance:
The Land Where the Blues Began
These five films were broadcast on PBS in 1991 under the title "American Patchwork Series." The series title and the films themselves illustrate Alan Lomax's conviction that "America has a patchwork culture made of the dreams and songs of all its people."

Voter Registration: Not Just for Young People
Helping seniors stay involved in politics is an important part of OFA volunteer D'Norgia's life. Now that she's retired, D'Norgia visits nursing homes and helps residents register and vote—especially those who can't easily read the forms and ballots. Blindness caused by diabetes is a common problem for seniors, especially in the African American community.
"Some of the people I visit couldn't register to vote in the South when they were younger, in many cases the law didn't allow it. Now it's hard to register because age and illness have obscured their sight," said D'Norgia.
Despite challenges, these folks haven't lost their pride or dignity. D'Norgia chats with each person she meets at the nursing home, gets to know them, and eases them into the voter registration process.
One of the seniors D'Norgia works with is 95-year-old Luaudrey S., who originally came from Texas to Portland to work as a welder in the Kaiser shipyard. Luaudrey has been around for quite a few elections and appreciates the opportunity to stay involved in politics today. "The first president I voted for was FDR. I never thought there'd be a person of color in the White House. Finally, in my 90's I got to see that happen," said Luaudrey.
Luaudrey could easily have been left out of the political process when she lost her sight and moved into the nursing home, however, thanks to D'Norgia and volunteers like her, she wasn't.
Every vote counts. You can help adults of any age register to vote. We'll provide all the training you need. Click here to get involved now, or find out about team meetings in your local neighborhood.

Ukiah Daily Journal
Firefighters from the combined Ukiah Valley Fire District and Ukiah Fire Department responded to two fires near Orr Springs Road Thursday afternoon.
A vegetation fire threatening structures was reported in the 100 block of Orr Springs Road shortly before 4 p.m. July 18. As firefighters began to attack that blaze, which was behind a warehouse, another fire was spotted along the southbound lanes of Highway 101, about a quarter mile north of the first fire.
Both fires were quickly under control and no details on their causes were immediately available. Cal Fire also responded.

Cleveland Browns- The Browns, more directly, Colt McCoy was really looking for an explosive receiver to add to the offensive mix up in Cleveland and when their pick rolled around, Julio Jones was there for the taking. But, as things tend to sometimes go, they decided to trade that pick to Atlanta for the 21st pick in round 1 as well as Atlanta's second and fourth rounder this year and a first and fourth in next years draft. With five picks on the table and a team that needs upgrading in many areas, the Browns did what any sane person would do and hopped on the deal.
Cam Newton- Gotta hand it to Newton, he managed to convince the Carolina Panthers that his upside greatly outweighed his bust potential. Noe that he got his wish, however, it's up to him to put in the work to make that number 1 selection a good one.
New Orleans Saints- Getting Mark Ingram in the 28th pick is a steal, I don't care what anyone thinks. In a high powered passing offense, Ingram will be the needed counter punch that any great passing teams need. I have to scratch my head over the Patriots trading away their pick to the Saints instead of drafting Ingram themselves. Oh, and the Cameron Jordan pick was solid as well. He will help bolster that defense.
Detroit Lions-What a steal the Lions got when Nick Fairley fell into their lap. With Fairley teaming up with Ndamukong Suh in the middle of the defensive line, NFC North quarterbacks just got another reason not to sleep well at nights.
Atlanta Falcons-Trading 5 picks for 1 player speaks of desperation and lack of foresight. This win now at all cost mentality will only cost them in the future.
Da'Quan Bowers- Once thought of as the best defensive lineman in the country, Bowers had to sit by and watch a record 12 defensive lineman go in the first round. The threat of future problems with that injured knee of his must have really scared off teams.
Roger Goodell-Despite your feelings over this whole CBA thing, you had to feel a little bit for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell last night. He was booed with a fervor usually reserved for star athletes who take their talents to South Beach and was the recipient of a number of derogatory chants. The man handled the onslaught in stride, however, showing the poise and professionalism that one would expect from a man with his job.

Denis from Solvenia - my watch buddy at the wheel. Some people thought he might be a spy.
How do I sum up the experience of sailing on a three-masted tall ship across the Atlantic? Perhaps best to describe a typical day.
Someone shakes you awake at 11.45pm - it's your turn on Dog Watch, midnight to 4am. Fifteen minutes later, armed with a cup of black tea, you climb the steps to the foredeck and take your place at a seat on lookout. For the next half an hour you are the eyes and ears of the ship, looking out for other shipping or debris such as fallen containers. There's rarely anything like this, so you spend most of the time looking at the sky, noting that it's a new moon so the Milky Way is fully visible. Every few minutes, if you don't blink, you see a shooting star. Above the sound of the bow ploughing through the hissing waves, there's the occasional series of skipping plops as a shoal of flying fish skitter out of your way.
Half an hour's rest, then it's your turn on the wheel. The team you're relieving are visible only by the light from the big ship's compass illuminating their faces form beneath. They tell you the course is still 220 degrees, and you take the wheel. She's behaving badly tonight because she'd rather sail closer to the wind. You give her rudder a few degrees of starboard and she seems happy for a few minutes. Then you take a minute to look at the trail of phosphorescence in your wake, an underlit disco dance floor in the sea. You look back down at the compass, and she's suddenly steering 245, the sails are flapping, and you to haul the wheel round to bring her back on course. The ship lurches from side to side and you imagine the other watches rocking in their bunks, cursing you.
2am brings soup and whatever left-overs there are, and the next two hours seem to pass quickly. Another stint on lookout, a few pages of an unchallenging thriller sitting in the deck house, and soon the day watch is being woken up, and you're back to bed.
You sleep through breakfast (fine - there's only so much ham and cheese a guy can eat) and wake up around 10am. You doze for a bit to the sound of the waves rinsing the hull, inches from your head. But it's getting hotter - it's never cooler than 30 degrees down here, and your head is burning where it touches the pillow. Out of bed, a shower and up on deck, and the sun is high in the sky. A few people sit on deck reading. Several are working - Erik the barman is sanding and varnishing the wheel house. Some of the crew are sanding blocks. One or two are putting on harnesses and going aloft to work in the rigging. You look over the rail at 360 degrees of deep blue, solid blue ocean, and a slightly lighter cloudless blue sky.
On watch again at noon. Then soup and sandwiches for lunch, and at 2pm the captain calls everyone to the main deck and gives his daily speech. We did 150 miles in the last 24 hours, which is good progress, and we're due to arrive in Salvador a day or two early if we keep this up. You're not sure how you feel about this - is that a good or a bad thing?
A lazy afternoon, maybe mending sails or helping on the ropes when the captain decides a sail has to be set or taken away, other than that, sitting reading in the sun - if the full complement of sails haven't shaded the entire deck. The big excitement is a school of dolphins, leaping through the waves, racing for the bow, where they spend half an hour swimming alongside and under the ship. They love to see us - it almost looks like they're taking a shower in the ship's bow wave.
At 5pm Erik opens the bar and brings anchovies, meat and cheese out on deck. A couple of beers and all too soon the sun is setting, sinking quickly, setting fire to the sky in the west.
At 7pm dinner is served. Hearty and nutritious, but this sea air gives you an appetite. And then, as darkness completes its takeover of the sky, you're back on watch again - the schedule moves round, and tonight you're on 8 till midnight. At least it means you'll get a full night's sleep. Maybe tonight you'll take your mattress up onto the sloop deck and kip under the stars...

And with that, Ryan Chalmers was off.
Next stop, America. | Doug McIntyre: Of wheelchairs and water
With Bruce Springsteen's "Never Surrender" serenading the courageous Paralympian from loudspeakers at LA Live on Saturday and a pack of well wishers cheering him on as he began his 3,000-mile wheelchair journey across the country, he turned right on Chick Hearn Way, right on LA Live and right on Olympic Boulevard.
What waited in front of him was the adventure of a lifetime. A challenge no one has ever attempted, let alone pulled off.
A 71-day voyage that will take him from downtown Los Angeles to New York City in a quest to raise money and awareness for the nonprofit organization Stay-Focused, which trains disabled teens to scuba dive.
But also a personal challenge to push himself beyond anything he's ever imagined.
"At this point I just want to get started," said the 24-year-old Chalmers, who was born with spina bifida and has been confined to a wheelchair his entire life. "I've been talking about this for two years. It's time to stop taking about it and actually do it. I'm pumped. "
Imminently ahead "" and by imminently we mean two weeks or so - lay the rest of California, Nevada and Colorado as he makes his way across America.
Awaiting him is fierce desert heat and the possibility of snow as he climbs into the Rocky Mountains.
He'll pass through some of the biggest cities in the country and obscure small-towns conducive to the 10-mile-an-hour pace he'll be on.
There will be grueling days, moments of doubt and times of triumphant.
It will be a test of his physical fitness and his cerebral willpower.
A lot of this will be mental," Chalmers said. "It's the days your body doesn't feel right and the natural inclination is to give up. I think that will be the biggest challenge, fighting through those kinds of days. "
But he will not quit, you can count on that.
He hasn't yet in a young life in which he's conquered diving, wheelchair basketball, and Paralympic wheelchair racing and marathons, along the way pushing through barriers "" some self-imagined others planted in front of him by a world structured more for the able-bodied than the disabled.
And he won't now, no matter the challenges that awaits ahead.
"I'm ready for whatever happens," Chalmers promised. "I'm ready to do this. "
And with that he was off, Staples Center and LA Live to his back, the rest of America beckoning in front of him.

Deciding which credit card to get
Which credit card is right for you primarily depends on how you plan to use it. Most people use credit cards as a convenient alternative to cash or checks, to make big purchases, or to travel. Depending on how you'll use your credit card, consider these points when shopping for the best value.

text: Herd starts rough road stretch tonight By Doug Smock January 22, 2013 Story Share AP Photo Donnie Tyndall got the job at Southern Miss after leading Morehead State to the 2011 NCAA tournament, including a win there over Louisville. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- For a Marshall team that is trying to shake off a horrifying road resume, tonight's contest isn't conducive to that end.The Thundering Herd begins its difficult two-game trip tonight at Southern Mississippi, one of two undefeated teams in Conference USA play. The other is Memphis, which will await the Herd on Saturday.But first things first. The Golden Eagles (15-4 overall, 4-0 C-USA) have a serious chance at their second at-large berth in the NCAA tournament, at the least, and have compiled a daunting record at home - 10 straight conference wins, 22 straight wins overall. The Eagles haven't lost at home since March 2011, to Alabama-Birmingham.Marshall (9-9, 2-1) hasn't won a road game this season and is 0-8 against Division I opponents away from Huntington. The Herd will try to reverse all those trends in the 7 p.m. EST contest at Reed Green Coliseum. The game airs on WCHS, Channel 8 in Charleston-Huntington, Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast elsewhere.MU leads the all-time series 8-6 but is 1-6 in Hattiesburg, including a 67-63 setback last January."It's a security blanket for most places," MU coach Tom Herrion said of home-court advantage. "But when you're winning like that, it's really tough. It started with [Larry] Eustachy and Donnie [Tyndall] has picked it up."Since the Golden Eagles lost to Marshall in the Conference USA tournament semifinals and fell to Kansas State in the NCAA tournament, Eustachy moved on to Colorado State. USM lured Tyndall from Morehead State, where he led the Eagles to a win over Louisville in the 2011 NCAA tourney.A few things are the same, including Southern Miss' role as Rating Percentage Index darlings. Entering Tuesday's games, the Eagles were ranked No. 40, similar to the position that helped them get an NCAA bid last March. Neil Watson is one of the league's better point guards, averaging 9.0 points, 5.0 assists and shooting 43.5 percent from 3-point range. Dwayne Davis, in his only season after being sidelined academically, leads a balanced attack with 12.9 points per game. The scoring is so balanced that nine players average 9.0 points or higher.Inside, Jonathan Mills averages 9.1 points and a team-6-high 6.7 rebounds. He is just 6-foot-5, but he's a beefy 240 pounds. Daveon Boardingham, a 6-7 junior-college import, averages 7.4 points and 3.4 rebounds off the bench and leads the team with 16 blocks.The steals are about as spread out as the scoring - Watson and Michael Craig each have 33, but six others have 18 or more over 19 games. Accordingly, the Eagles have a plus-68 turnover margin, a troubling number for a Marshall team that is minus-32 over its last five games away from home."Donnie plays differently than Larry did," Herrion said. "He extends the floor and shows more press, plays zone, a very aggressive, extend-the-court matchup zone. They're playing a little faster, a little more aggressively."The Herd is coming off another big game under the "security blanket" of Cam Henderson Center, a 77-56 win over East Carolina. In its three conference games, even including the 74-63 loss at Texas-El Paso, the Herd is showing some of the explosiveness that was expected at the start of the season.The Herd will need all that and more to start this road trip."It's a great challenge and they're really good at home," Herrion said of the Golden Eagles. "If we do certain things well and do them for 40 minutes, we'll give ourselves a chance." Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5130 or email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

The Team XBMC Developer blog was updated recently with an article about the skin, head on over to http://xbmc.org/devblogs to see it.
Thanks to theuni for putting that one together.
Whilst I was helping him out with screenshots for the article I thought it would be a good idea to put some sort of a gallery together. Even for those of you who are already using the skin it might be quite useful in case you come across some feature or option that you were unaware of.
I've updated the gallery further last night and again this morning to try and make sure all the images are the same resolution and are as up to date as possible. I'll be adding further screenshots over the coming days and weeks so keep an eye on it.

Like the article said, if its an accident. No problem **** happens. But to do it on purpose, damn. Rose was always one of my favorite Pacers, but guess I gotta think a little differently of him now.
For the record, I don't think of the act as funny, just that Rose unintentionally contributed to Kobe's legend by setting him up for a comeback in game 4.
And Lebron did it to Danny!
Garbage players get 1st round picks, (WTF)! All of the NBA must hate the Pacers! LOL
Rose is candid. I appreciate that.
You'd like to think he's beyond that now. His hesitancy to say he did it makes me wonder if it was a spur of the moment "I'll just stick my foot here," thing and not terribly premeditated.
...if that's correct, I appreciate his candidness in admitting it.
I mean, I understand in that sense, but I don't understand having a sense of appreciation about it given that it was a dirty act.
Yeah, at least he fessed up.
Turner and Young are THE FUTURE!
Being an a-hole isn't forgiven just because you admit it. I've never liked Jalen, especially as an "analyst" for ESPN, and I dislike him even more now. There is nothing more reprehensible in sports than intentionally injuring another player.
Jalen has always been one of my favorite Pacers (I even strongly lobbied my parents to name my little brother Jalen to no avail) and this doesn't change that. Let me pose this question: if Kobe didn't go off in game 4 of that series and we wind up winning a championship, would Rose admitting this 12 years later make taint that championship? I'd still take the ring and I would like to think most on here would as well. In a perfect world, sportsmanship would always reign supreme, but in this world there is a thing called gamesmanship that is often far more effective - just ask Reginald Miller.
It's pretty disappointing. That's cheating but on top of that it's disgraceful. I really liked Jalen a lot...but I don't like hearing this.
There's a difference between breaking rules in the game and breaking the rule of life. Ever hear of Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan? There's never been an excuse for attempting to hurt someone to win a game.
Nobody around the league cried foul except a few Pacer fans on this board (note a few and not all) when Lebron took out Danny in Game 5.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
I'm fine with all this. At least he's got a competitive spirit. Too many of these guys are too friendly with their opponents. But there are a lot of guys that don't even think twice about putting their foot in harm's way defensively and that's not a big deal. You don't want to see anybody get hurt but you don't have to make throw a red carpet down for them to get their shot off or to get to the rim, either. Step in, defend, and if they come down on you, so what? You can decide how serious I am. Somewhere between 1% and 100%.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
A lot of people are advocates of "making players think twice" before driving the lane...specifically Rose in the 2011 playoff series. Now why would Rose think twice? Because last time he drove the lane it hurt.
Many people are okay with turning fouls intentionally harder to bump around the opponents (consequently hurting them; albeit nothing that serious) but Jalen doing this is too malicious? I believe the difference is negligible.
DG for 3
Intent isn't negligible.

This is a very unique Foster Arts & Crafts upright piano in a stunning quartered oak Craftsman style cabinet.
This original piano was built in 1913, and we have enhanced the Craftsman style cabinet using reclaimed vintage oak wood. This stunning design was inspired by the Gothic influence, one of the hallmarks of Craftsman style furniture. Note the high pointed pyramid posts and intricate woodworking design on the front panel. The overall look of this piano is just stunning. This piano has been restored and equipped with computerized player mechanisms. A matching bench is included.

Hey I came across the Wolf Among Us after seeing Pewdiepie play it and I got hooked immediately. After playing the first two episodes I got inspired to write a song about Bigby and the difficulties he has as a sheriff when most people still fear him or even loath him for what he did in the past. (It was mainly Colin's and Bigby's conversation about not being able to change the past and not being able to change people's memories either...)
Anyways here is the link:
Hope I don't annoy you but I don't have friends who play the game so I thought maybe this community might find it interesting?

Portrait of Depression-Era America
September 24, 2010–January 9, 2011
Portrait of Depression-Era America
features 22 prints by 10 photographers working during the depths of the Great Depression, most of whom were associated with the Farm Security Administration (FSA). They include Walker Evans, Ben Shahn, Arthur Rothstein, and Dorothea Lange. Navigating between the artistic and the journalistic, these photographers excelled at distilling complex situations into single, powerful images. More than half the prints in this exhibition were taken specifically for the FSA and were circulated in magazines, books, and exhibitions. Begun in 1935, the FSA, a New Deal agency, undertook the largest photography project ever sponsored by the US government. The photographers it employed documented conditions of rural and urban poverty with a sobering directness in the hope of motivating social and economic reforms.
Curated by Eric Lutz, assistant curator of prints, drawings and photographs,
Portrait of Depression-Era America
, will be on view in Galleries 321 and 322 through January 9, 2011.

MIAMI — Receiver Mike Wallace was the Miami Dolphins' No. 1 offseason target, and they moved quickly Tuesday to seal a deal.
Wallace agreed to a multiyear contract on the first day of NFL free agency, a person with knowledge of the agreement said. The person confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no signing had been announced Tuesday night.
In four years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Wallace caught 32 touchdown passes. He gives the Dolphins the speedy deep threat they lacked last season, when their wideouts totaled three touchdowns.
Miami also reached a $35 million, five-year deal with inside linebacker Dannell Ellerbe, who helped the Baltimore Ravens win the Super Bowl last season.
Wallace upgrades an offense that ranked 27th last year while led by Ryan Tannehill, the first rookie quarterback to start all 16 games for the Dolphins. Wallace, a third-round draft pick in 2009, has averaged 17.2 yards per catch and has at least 60 receptions each of the past three years.
He joins a receiving corps that also includes Brian Hartline and Davone Bess. Miami re-signed Hartline on Friday to a five-year deal for nearly $31 million.
Coming off a fourth consecutive losing season, the Dolphins were well-positioned this offseason, with five of the first 82 draft picks and $30 million in cap space. Owner Stephen Ross said he was willing to spend whatever it takes to build a winner.
General manager Jeff Ireland, much-maligned by Miami fans for his moves in past offseasons, swung two big deals on the first day of free agency.
Ellerbe, 27, had a career-high 4½ sacks last year for the Ravens. He was a huge presence in the middle of the Baltimore defense, even after middle linebacker Ray Lewis returned from a torn triceps.
With Lewis retiring, the Ravens hoped to sign Ellerbe to a long-term deal. But he proved to be too expensive for the Super Bowl champions, who faced tough salary-cap decisions.

CAPITOLA -- A 27-year-old man found shot on Cliff Drive on Wednesday night is a documented gang member, Capitola police said.
Isaias Escobar Flores of Santa Cruz was shot in the leg and was recovering at a Bay Area hospital on Thursday, said Sgt. Marquis Booth. The Santa Cruz County Gang Task Force helped investigate the shooting, but authorities have not said what motivated it.
Flores and a man he was with were uncooperative, Booth said. He did have not have any suspects.
"We're doing the best we can. We'll hopefully have better answers in the next couple days," Booth said Thursday.
A man with Flores called 911 to report the shooting about 6:15 p.m. Wednesday in a metered parking lot uphill from Cliff Drive and Wharf Road.
It was unclear whether Flores was shot in the parking lot, Booth said.
Police collected evidence from Flores' tan four-door sedan that was in the parking lot, Booth said.
Capitola police ask anyone with information to call 831-475-4242 or call the Anonymous tipline at 831-475-2791.

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton took the next step toward fixing his defense, which set a dubious NFL record for yards allowed last season, with the hiring of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan on Saturday.
The addition of Ryan, whom Payton met with Friday, was expected after Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham withdrew his name from consideration for the job Friday evening after interviewing for the position one day earlier.
Payton was expected to bring an unidentified candidate in for a visit Monday, but the search ended Saturday morning when the team announced the hiring of Ryan. Payton also added assistant special teams coach Stan Kwan to fill two of the five openings on his staff.
"I'm pleased the opportunity has presented itself for us to be able to add both Rob Ryan and Stan Kwan to our coaching staff," Payton said in a team news release. "In regards to Rob, we have experience in preparing and playing against his defenses and they've always been challenging in terms of the different looks and pressures that they feature.
"We've had the chance to visit with each other and talk about our visions for our team, and I'm excited about moving forward as we prepare for the 2013 season," he said. "Rob is enthusiastic about joining our team and getting right to work."
While there were five openings on his staff, Payton's hiring of Ryan, who was with the Dallas Cowboys the past two seasons, was an important piece to the puzzle as the Saints transition to a new defensive scheme.
When he fired defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo on Jan. 24, Payton said the team would switch from the 4-3 base front he's used since he arrived in 2006 to a 3-4 alignment after the Saints allowed an NFL-record 7,042 total yards in a 7-9 season.
In addition to finishing last in total yards allowed (440.1), the Saints were last in rushing defense (147.6) and were 31st out of 32 teams in pass defense (292.6) and scoring defense (28.4).
"I am excited and thrilled to be joining the New Orleans Saints," Ryan said in the release. "I have had the opportunity to get to know Sean Payton and his staff a bit better recently and I am excited about joining the team.
"I'm ready to get to work on all facets of the game," he said. "This is a great opportunity, and we're getting started right away."
Ryan, 50, will have to hit the ground running in his new post. He has a little more than a week to get up to speed in evaluating the Saints' defense before heading to the scouting combine workouts, which will be held Feb. 20-26 in Indianapolis.
An NFL defensive coordinator for the past nine seasons, Ryan is the son of former NFL defensive guru Buddy Ryan and is the twin brother of New York Jets coach Rex Ryan.
Rob Ryan has worked for the Arizona Cardinals (1994-95) and New England Patriots (2000-03) and has served as defensive coordinator for the Oakland Raiders (2004-08), Cleveland Browns (2009-10) and Cowboys (2011-12).
He won two Super Bowl rings during his time with the Patriots as linebackers coach for Bill Belichick.
In 2011, Ryan's first year with the Cowboys, his defense finished 14th in total yards allowed — after ranking 23rd the year before — and was seventh against the run.
Last season, the Cowboys were 19th in total defense, ranking 22nd against the run and 19th in pass defense.
Ryan was fired on Jan. 8, a week after the Cowboys failed to make the playoffs for the third consecutive season.
He is the fourth defensive coordinator hired by Payton since he took the Saints' job in 2006, following Gary Gibbs (2006-08), Gregg Williams (2009-11) and Spagnuolo (2012).
Kwan is a 22-year NFL coaching veteran who has been with four teams, including two stints with the Detroit Lions.
Kwan spent the past three seasons as assistant special teams coach with the Buffalo Bills, who last season led the NFL in punt returns (17.1) with two touchdowns and were fourth in kickoff returns (27.0).
Payton must still hire an offensive line coach, a secondary coach and an assistant defensive line coach to fill out his staff.

Spring Writers' Festival: A Reading by ZZ Packer
ZZ Packer will give a reading as the Fiction Visiting Writer-in-Residence at the Northwestern 5th annual Spring Writers' Festival.
ZZ Packer grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and Louisville, Kentucky. Her given name is Zuwena (Swahili for "good"), but "After a while of teachers mispronouncing my name and everyone else in the world, I began introducing myself as ZZ, and it just kind of stuck." Recognized as a talented writer at an early age, her first significant publication was in Seventeen magazine at the age of 19.
Packer attended Yale University, where she received a B.A in 1994. Her graduate work included an M.A. at Johns Hopkins University in 1995 and an M.F.A. from the Iowa Writers' Workshop in 1999. She was named a Stegner Fellow in Fiction at Stanford University.
Shortly thereafter, she entered the national literary scene with a high-profile appearance in the debut fiction issue of The New Yorker (2000). Her short story in the issue became the title story in her collection Drinking Coffee Elsewhere (Riverhead Books, 2003), which was published to considerable acclaim.
In 2005, she was awarded the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship for fiction. She is on the faculty of California College of the Arts, where she serves as Senior Visiting Professor of Creative Writing. She is a member of the San Francisco Writers' Grotto, a workspace co-operative.
She lives in Pacifica, California, a coastal town near San Francisco and is currently at work on a novel set in the aftermath of the Civil War.
In June 2010 she was named one of The New Yorker's "20 Under 40" list of fiction writers worth watching.

Colorectal Diseases
Chronic Anal Fissure
I had colorectal cancer 11 years ago. Radiation to area which was within digital reach of anus. Plus chemo and surgery to remove tumor area. Two years ago I got an anal fissure which will NOT heal. Surgeon says area was burned with radiation, and skin will not stretch without causing the fissure. Have used Lidocain and vaseline. It is so extremely painful, I cry and become so stressed that I feel worse. Have depression already. Can you recommend ANYTHING to heal this fissure? Will I have it forever since skin has been radiated? I have surgeons opinion, but I want a second opinion. Maybe she is missing something. Thank you.
Radiated tissue will always be more difficult to heal than non-radiated tissue.
There are a few additional things to try to relieve your pain: Certain topical ointments, containing nifedipine, diltiazem, or nitroglycerine can relax the internal sphincter and relieve pain. O
Occasionally Botox can be injected into the fissure to relieve the pain.
Obviously stool softeners and fiber are the mainstay of therapy. Would try to avoid surgery if possible, again due to the risk of non-healing wound, and fecal incontinence.
Good luck
