As previously announced last month, Mill Creek Entertainment has - over the last month - released a variety of multi-movie movies on DVD and Blu-ray which will please fans of both well known and lesser known films.
Featuring a number of films from yesteryear which will have genre fans grateful for low prices and multi-movie sets, there's no doubt Mill Creek has something for everyone. I personally received a number of discs to review and have to say I was fairly impressed with the solid selection and organization of these sets. Two of my favorite blu-ray releases include the Stealth & Vertical Limit Double Feature and the Deep Rising & The Puppet Masters Double Feature.
Fans of action films have probably seen a number of these films, including 2005's Stealth featuring Josh Lucas as Lt. Ben Gannon, Jessica Biel as Lt. Kara Wade, Jamie Foxx as Lt. Henry Purcell and Sam Shepard as Capt. George Cummings, pilots who fly with a specially designed and made plane with artificial intelligence who, upon becoming self-aware, decides to rebel. Stealth features an engaging story that's sure to keep film fans engage deven if the plot is a bit lackluster. Thankfully, the special effects and action are impressive and intense. Likewise, 2000's Vertical Limit features Bill Paxon as Elliot Vaughn, Chris O'Donnell as Peter Garrett and Robin Tunney as Annie Garrett, climbers who become stuck in a life-threatening attempt to ascend K2, one of the world's largest and most life-threatening climbs. Again, a great adrenaline-filled action film that'll keep fans strapped to their seats, Vertical Limit - when paired with Stealth - makes a great addition to action film fan's libraries.
Likewise, another solid addition to any sci-fi film fan's library is the Deep Rising & The Puppet Masters Double Feature, which includes two of my favorite 1990's sci-fi films. 1998's Deep Rising is one of my favorites, featuring Treat Williams as a rogue ship captain who's sea-faring vessel is taken over by mercenaries for a criminal activity which leads to a run in with a monstrous sea beast the likes of which have never been seen before. While maybe not the most original or even best made sci-fi monster movies, Deep Rising is extremely well paced, filled with fun characters, and a brilliant nemesis in the monster. And which sci-fi fan doesn't love 1994's The Puppet Masters starring Donald Sutherland as Andrew Nivens, Eric Thal as Sam Nivens and Julie Warner as Mary Sefton, a trio of scientists who must investigate an invasion by parasitic slug-like aliens. Based on a classic 1951 novel by Robert Heinlein, The Puppet Masters is - like Deep Rising - well paced and filled with plenty of suspense and tension. The alien menace - again, not as original as they are intriguing - make for a great villain that's both haunting and personal.
Other DVD Mill Creek multi-movie sets worth picking up for genre fans include...
- the Hollow Man/Hollow Man 2/Fortress 2/The Harvest 4-Pack DVD, which includes both the Hollow Man remake as well as its updated sequel, the less-than-stellar Fortress 2 featuring Christopher Lambert, and The Harvest, a little known 1992 film that's fun, tense and somewhat original.
- the Agnes of God/Mary Reilly/The Messenger/Pact of Silence 4-Pack DVD, which includes a number of thriller/horror films. 1996's Mary Reilly starring Julia Roberts as well as 2007's The Messenger starring Kristen Stewart, Dylan McDermott and Penelope Ann Miller stand out on this 4-movie set as they are both intense films filled with plenty of character development and shocking moments.
Over the last month, Mill Creek Entertainment has released a total of 12 blu-ray sets and 22 DVD sets, each of which would make a fine addition to fan home video libraries. Not to mention the suggested retail price of each is only $9.98. And I've even seen some of these sets selling as low as $5.99 in some stores. If you're a fan of genre film and are looking to add some entertaining movies to your collection without spending a lot of money, Mill Creek Entertainment has what you're looking to own!

Cubs Recall RHP Dan Straily from Triple-A Iowa, Option OF Junior Lake to Iowa
NEW YORK - The Chicago Cubs today recalled right-handed pitcher Dan Straily from Triple-A Iowa and optioned outfielder Junior Lake to Iowa. Straily, who will wear uniform number 19, will make tonight's start against the New York Mets at Citi Field.
Straily, 25, has not allowed an earned run in his last three starts with Iowa, spanning 19.0 innings, from July 31-August 11. He has walked just four and struck out 18 in this stretch that has seen him limit the opponent to a .179 batting average and a .225 on-base percentage while earning three wins.
Since he was acquired with infielder Addison Russell, outfielder Billy McKinney and a player to be named from Oakland, July 5, for pitchers Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel, Straily has gone 3-3 with a 3.00 ERA (13 ER/39.0 IP) in seven starts with Iowa. Prior to the trade, Straily saw time with Oakland (1-2, 4.93 ERA in seven starts) and Triple-A Sacramento (4-3, 4.71 ERA in 10 starts).
Straily has pitched parts of the last three years with Oakland, going 13-11 with a 4.11 ERA (105 ER/230.0 IP) in 41 starts. He made his big league debut on August 3, 2012 and made seven starts with Oakland that season, going 2-1 with a 3.89 ERA (17 ER/39.1 IP) before spending nearly the entire campaign in the majors in 2013.
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Straily was originally selected by Oakland in the 24th round of the 2009 Draft and was named the organization's 2012 co-minor league Pitcher of the Year after combining to go 9-7 with a 2.78 ERA (47 ER/152.0 IP) with an organization-best 190 strikeouts in 25 starts between Sacramento and Midland, where he was named to the Texas League All-Star team.
Lake, 24, is hitting .216 (63-for-291) with 10 doubles, three triples, nine home runs and 25 RBI in 98 games for Chicago this season.

Topic: Questions: Fact or Fiction
I recently heard that a PET Scan cannot always detect CC. Anyone know if this is true? I was under the impression that a PET was the absolute best in detecting any cancer.
Teddy has been extremely cold the last few days and its in the 90's in Phoenix.
The temperature in the house is 80! I am dying he is cold. He is sitting in the living room with a bathrobe over his clothes and a hat on his head and a blanket. So far no fever. I just hope its not one of those infamous blood infections coming on. Teddy had radiation last summer and cyber knife in December. No chemo ever.
Tomorrow we have an appointment with the radiologist. He wants to check a hard lump on T stomach where the cyber knife was and I think its where they injected the 4 gold rods. All LAB work was good a week ago. I just don't feel its normal to be that cold. We also ask the doctor. Just wondered ahead of time what anyone thought. You are all such geniuses!!!!

- How to Read a Study Record
The investigators are interested in learning more about the changes found in the condition called "Combined elevation of Malonic and MethylMalonic Acid, or CMAMMA. " Malonic, or MA and MethylMalonic, or MMA, are acids formed from the breakdown of protein under normal conditions. However, in the condition called CMAMMA there is an increase of these acids in the blood and urine, which is not normal.
Some people with high MA and MMA in their blood and urine have a serious disease, starting as a baby or young child that includes heart disease and problems in learning. These people have changes in a special enzyme called Malonyl CoA Decarboxylase (MCD). Other people who have a high level of MA and MMA do not have any obvious illness. The investigators are not sure why they have high levels of MA and MMA and why they are not sick.
The goal of this study is to learn more about why some people have a high level of MA and MMA and to make sure there are no medical problems as a result of these high levels. The investigators also want to find out which gene and enzyme cause the high levels of MA and MMA.

War Veteran's Fund Losses Explain Glass-Steagall
One of the great debates to emerge from the financial crisis is whether the U.S. Congress should resurrect some form of the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act and bring back the separation of commercial and investment banking. It should, but not for the reasons usually cited.
Put aside the tired arguments about whether the law's repeal in 1999 caused the crisis. It did help banks deemed too big to fail get larger, but the crisis had no single proximate cause. We would have systemically dangerous financial institutions even if the law had stayed in place.
There's a better argument for separating securities firms from commercial banks: to protect consumers. The banking industry has a long history of preying on unsophisticated depositors by selling them garbage investments without regard to suitability. This was a big reason Glass-Steagall was originally enacted.
Consider the $61 billion in settlements between large banks and the Securities and Exchange Commission over sales of auction-rate securities, the market for which collapsed in early 2008. Citigroup Inc., Bank of America Corp. and other banks told customers the securities were safe, highly liquid investments comparable to money-market funds. They weren't.
Cross Selling
At Wachovia Corp., the SEC said bank employees helped recruit retail depositors for the investments. Wachovia, which was bought by Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC) in 2008, later agreed to repurchase $7 billion of the securities. Regulators in Washington state made similar findings about Wells Fargo as part of a $1.3 billion settlement in 2009, saying the bank and its investment divisions "engaged in cross-selling in connection with ARS sales."
Cross-selling junk to mom and pop depositors wasn't limited to auction-rate securities. Last year the Memphis, Tennessee- based brokerage Morgan Keegan & Co. agreed to a $200 million settlement with state and federal securities regulators over seven mutual funds that lost $1.5 billion in 2007 and 2008. Morgan Keegan brokers sold the proprietary bond funds to more than 30,000 account holders. The SEC said the funds' managers mismarked their asset values.
Morgan Keegan, then a subsidiary of Regions Financial Corp. (RF), "targeted Regions Bank depository customers with maturing certificates of deposits or other depository assets," the Alabama Securities Commission and other state regulators said in their complaint. "More money could be made on broker- dealer fees than on the interest spread on interest-bearing deposits."
One of those customers was Donald G. Smith, 66, who owns an auto-repair business in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Several years ago, he and his wife had a $96,000 Treasury bond. After it matured, he said a Regions financial adviser sent him to see a Morgan Keegan broker in the same branch.
He put the money in the funds the broker recommended, which soon crashed. The funds' holdings included complex instruments with names like synthetic collateralized debt obligations, first-loss pieces and pooled trust preferred securities. Smith, a Vietnam War veteran and former oilfield worker, said he isn't a sophisticated investor. His last year of school was eighth grade.
"I told her this was our nest egg, and we couldn't afford to lose it," he said, referring to the Morgan Keegan broker. Why did he trust Morgan Keegan? "It was right there inside the bank. One employee that I had trusted recommended me to another one."
After the Smiths filed claims against Morgan Keegan, a securities-industry arbitration panel in August awarded them about $11,000, after hearings fees, which was a small fraction of their losses.
Wealth Destruction
Their experience is reminiscent of a story about another bank customer: Edgar D. Brown, of Pottsville, Pennsylvania. His testimony at the 1933 Senate Banking Committee hearings on the 1929 stock market crash was recounted in Michael Perino's acclaimed book, "The Hellhound of Wall Street," about the committee's chief counsel, Ferdinand Pecora.
In 1927, Brown responded to an advertisement by City Bank (now Citigroup) offering to help with financial advice. Brown, who had $100,000 in cash and government bonds from selling a theater chain, received a reply from a salesman at National City Co., City Bank's securities affiliate.
The salesman said Brown should sell the bonds, borrow two or three times the money he had, and invest in securities the company recommended. "Brown took the company's advice, insisting only that he wanted bonds instead of stock," Perino wrote. "Other than that Brown trusted the company implicitly."
Perino wrote: "Over the next year a welter of bonds came in and out of Brown's portfolio. There were railroad bonds, utility bonds, and industrial bonds. Brown's foreign bond holdings spanned the globe -- Peruvian and Chilean bonds; bonds from the State of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil; Vienna and Budapest bonds; the bonds of the Belgian National Railroad, Norwegian Hydro, German General Electric, and the Saxon Public Works; Greek, Italian, and Irish bonds. They seemed to have only one thing in common -- they all went down in value."
When Brown complained the next year, the salesman blamed Brown for insisting upon bonds. So Brown took his advice to buy stocks. "I bought," Brown testified, "thousands of shares of stock on their suggestion which I did not know whether the companies they represented made cake, candy or automobiles." Following the company's advice was, he thought, "the only safe thing to do." In 1929, at age 40, he lost almost everything.
Brown's testimony helped persuade Congress to pass Glass- Steagall that same year. It was a good idea at the time to separate securities firms from commercial banks. It still is.

UPDATE 6.21pm: Claims that the AM for Monmouth was drunk at a debate about mental health have reportedly been denied by politician.
Nick Ramsay has denied that he was drunk at the debate on Tuesday, reports said last night.
Jonathan Williams, the Cardiff man who raised the complaint with Rosemary Butler, said the response to his letter "has been exactly as I expected. No one will take this matter seriously because politics is a cosy club.
"All they are interested in is protecting their collective reputations. It's mucky and makes me wonder why I bothered writing in the first place."
UPDATE 1.46pm: A Welsh Tory spokesman has stated that Nick Ramsay was making valid contributions to the debate where a member of the public has claimed that the Monmouth Tory AM appeared drunk.
In a statement the spokesman said: "Nick Ramsay was making valid contributions in an important debate on mental health.
"He agrees that all correspondence from the public should be treated with the utmost importance – and will speak to the Presiding Officer accordingly."
UPDATE 1.22pm: Assembly presiding officers are set to investigate the circumstances around a complaint that claimed that Nick Ramsay was drunk during an Assembly debate.
An Assembly spokesman has confirmed that Newport West AM and Assembly presiding officer Rosemary Butler has recieved a complaint relating to the behaviour of the Monmouth AM.
He said: "The Presiding Officer has received a letter of complaint relating to the behaviour of an individual Assembly Member in the Plenary session on 10 June.
"Regulation of Plenary proceedings is a matter for the Presiding Officers. They will be looking into the circumstances thoroughly and properly over the coming days.
"The rules of debate are governed by Standing Order 13 and the Assembly Members' Code of Conduct sets out the standard of behaviour expected from Members during Assembly business. Members must at all times in their conduct promote respect for the Assembly and extend respect and courtesy to other Members."
The code of conduct can be found here.
12.49pm: A MEMBER of the public has complained to the Assembly's presiding officer that the Tory AM for Monmouth appeared to be drunk during a debate on mental health on Tuesday.
The complaint alleges that Nick Ramsay's "contributions were slurred, incoherent and insolent" on more than one occasion.
Plaid Cymru says it expects the matter to be fully investigated.
In an email written to the presiding officer Rosemary Butler the member of the public claimed: "The Assembly member for Monmouth is in a privileged position to serve his constituents, but to appear in the chamber unsteady on his feet and clearly drunk is unforgivable."
Mr Ramsay had made interventions during a debate on mental health during a speech by the health minister Mark Drakeford.
A worker in Cardiff AM Julie Morgan's office confirmed reports that the complaint about Mr Ramsay had reached her office and was passed on to the presiding officer by the AM.
The worker was keen to stress that Ms Morgan has herself not made a complaint and passing it on was a formality.
A Plaid spokeswoman said: "Any complaint by a member of the public about the conduct of Assembly Members should be taken seriously, and we expect the presiding officer to investigate this matter fully."
The Argus has made requests for a response from Nick Ramsay, the Welsh Conservatives and the Assembly this morning but as yet has received no reply.
You can watch Mr Ramsay's contributions to the debate in this video – Mr Ramsay's contributions start at around seven minutes 20 seconds in.

Rodney A. Smolla
Media Contact
Peter Jetton
Director of Communications
Rodney A. Smolla, dean and Roy L. Steinheimer, Jr. Professor at Washington and Lee University School of Law, has been named president of Furman University in Greenville, S.C. Smolla will be introduced at a news conference on Tuesday and will assume his new position on July 1, 2010.
Washington and Lee University President Kenneth P. Ruscio said Smolla will remain in the dean's position through the current academic year. A national search will be conducted to name his replacement.
"On both a personal and a professional level, I am very sorry to be losing Dean Smolla. But it is not the least surprising that Furman would have chosen him as its president, and I know that he will be an outstanding leader of that very fine institution," said Ruscio.
"During his time here at Washington and Lee, Dean Smolla has worked with faculty, students and alumni to help us rethink legal education and has positioned Washington and Lee at the center of reform efforts nationally," said Ruscio. "We remain fully committed to these efforts, and I am confident that our long-standing reputation for excellence and innovation will enable us to attract excellent candidates."
The redesign of the third year, heralded by many as the boldest move to date in the growing legal education reform movement, engages students in a year-long course of study marked by practice-based simulations, real-client experiences, and explorations into legal ethics and professionalism, all designed to prepare them for the transition from law students to legal practitioners. This is the most visible of the several important curriculum reforms accomplished under Smolla's leadership since he arrived in 2007.
"Serving as the dean of the Washington and Lee School of Law has been a great honor and privilege," Smolla said. "I am proud of the faculty, students, staff, and alumni, for their commitment to excellence, and their courage in forging a new direction of legal education in the United States. Above all, I will miss the many friends I have made here."
Smolla graduated from Yale University in 1975 and the Duke University School of Law in 1978. He then served as law clerk to Judge Charles Clark on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. After practicing law in Chicago at Mayer, Brown, and Platt, he taught at several law schools before joining the William and Mary Marshall-Wythe School of Law, where he was Director of the Institute of Bill of Rights Law from 1988 to 1996. Smolla joined the University of Richmond Law School in 1998 and was named Dean there in 2003.
Nationally recognized as a scholar, teacher, advocate, and writer, Smolla's wide-ranging scholarship includes four legal treatises, a casebook on the First Amendment, a coauthored casebook on constitutional law, and scores of articles in the nation's top law reviews. He also writes widely for general audiences, including popular books such as Deliberate Intent and Jerry Falwell v. Larry Flynt. His commentary appears frequently in national print and electronic media. Recently, he was elected to the Board of Governors of the Virginia Bar Association and served as the moderator of the first debate between Creigh Deeds and Bob McDonnell for the closely watched Virginia governor's race.Email This Page

Guest Since 2010
For my daughter's 13th birthday, we had rented two adjoining rooms. When we arrived, they didn't have two rooms adjacent to one another, but they were kind enough to provide us with a suite, which worked out even better!
We had the best time at the resort. We had a nail painting party, did a balloon toss on Paradise Lawn, limbo, and bobbing for apples. We made s'mores at night on the firepits, and went in the hot tubs after. The girls even dressed the big girl chaperones up in toliet paper dresses! (Don't worry, we brought our own.)
The next day we had breakfast, did a fun bike ride and then headed out to the bay for a sand castle contest. The birthday party group NEVER got bored as Paradise Point has so much to offer! We will definitely be going back again....soon!

A Market for Flipping
The action isn't bad, but it is very slow and there isn't much trading. Breadth has slowly improved and there's leadership from semiconductors, but price action is mostly slow and random.
The good news is that the action is productive. This sort of consolidation is needed to set the stage for the next move. The ideal scenario would be further consolidation and maybe a bit of downside while the fiscal cliff debate continues, then a rally that turns into an uptrend when a deal is eventually made....92 more words left in this article.

Baining people from New Britain create large barkcloth masks to represent spirits of leaves, trees, animals and insects. The masks are traditionally worn during harvest time in ceremonial dances lasting all day and night. This style of mendaska mask, made by the Uramot people, is worn during daytime ceremonies associated with female fertility, mourning and important community events.

Health and Fitness: Swing to slim down
September 15, 2012
Over the last decade or so, the kettlebell has enjoyed a successful reintroduction into the fitness industry. Kettlebell exercises are usually fast-paced, relatively simple, and tend to involve the whole body. The foundational kettlebell exercise, the swing, provides an excellent example of this. The swing exercise is initiated by driving the hips backward in a "hip-hinging" motion, loading the hamstrings while maintaining correct alignment of the head and spine. The motion is then powerfully reversed squeezing the glutes and driving the kettlebell forward. However, despite the popularity of kettlebells, limited research appears to have been done regarding the metabolic demand of kettlebell swing exercise routines. Leading research from Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo., and tests the kettlebell swing against a time honored fat loss favorite; running on a treadmill. Thirteen subjects, 11 male and two females, completed a 10-minute kettlebell swing routine consisting of 35-second swing intervals followed by 25-second rest intervals. Men used a 35-pound kettlebell, and women used an 18-pound kettlebell. After 48 hours of rest, the same subjects completed a 10-minute treadmill run at same equivalent rate of perceived exertion, or intensity, as measured during the swing workout. The researchers observed if running or swinging would be more metabolically demanding and in turn burn more energy for fat loss.The authors stated that, "according to the American College of Sports Medicine standards, this kettlebell drill could provide sufficient exercise stress to produce gains in aerobic capacity." Swings are proven to increase cardiovascular health, "Therefore, on days when a subject wanted an alternative to treadmill running or stationary cycling, kettlebell swings might be substituted to maintain cardiovascular training levels."While swings may be good for heart health, they may be even better at helping you lose body fat. In the same study, the authors notes that, "The current caloric expenditure was 1.7 times greater than a modified ACSM single-set resistance training routine and required 60 percent less time to achieve." It got the heart rate up in less time than weight training and burned more calories. The swing is similar to sprinting, as there is a large demand on the cardiovascular system. In fact, it challenges the body so much it surprised researches. The University of Wisconsin, La Crosse Health and Exercise department tested the kettlebell snatch. The Kettlebell snatch is a total body move that swings the kettlebell overhead; it is very similar to the swing. The results of the study were interesting, "So (the subjects) were burning at least 20.2 calories per minute, which is off the charts. That's equivalent to running a 6-minute mile pace. The only other thing I could find that burns that many calories is cross-country skiing up hill at a fast pace." And concluded that, "kettlebells not only offer resistance training benefits, they also will ultimately help people burn calories, lose weight, and enhance their functional performance capabilities." The swing the is easiest kettlebell exercise to learn and the base foundation on which more technical exercises like the snatch and clean are built upon. The kettlebell swing can help you increase your cardiovascular endurance, burn more calories than almost any another exercise and can even help you increase your vertical jump and strength. In the study "Effects of Weightlifting vs. Kettlebell Training on Vertical Jump, Strength, and Body Composition" researchers concluded that "these findings support the use of kettlebell exercises as an alternative form of training for strength and conditioning coaches who are interested in improving the strength and power of their athletes." Although neither group saw significant fat loss, it was most likely because of the short duration of the study, six weeks, but improvements in power and strength were seen in both groups. This makes kettlebell training for fat loss as well as athletic performance evidenced based and real world approved. The swing is a great exercise, and for those without access to kettlebells, a dumbbell will suffice. Please consult your doctor prior to starting any exercise program and seek the advice of a trained fitness professional if you are unsure how to perform any exercise. — Kyler Crouse, BS, CSCS is a personal fitness coach at Sierra Athletic Club and in the homes of clients in the greater Lake Tahoe area.

Now more than ever, we need to invite everyone in society, of all ages, to be part of the solution. The Master of Arts in Environmental Education and Communication program will empower you, and give you the depth and insight to lead and motivate others in developing a sustainable, environmentally sound society.
Who It's For
The MA in Environmental Education and Communication is for those interested in how education and communication can help develop environmentally sustainable social and economic systems. Learning how we can educate and communicate to engage those in our workplaces, communities and nations towards such a goal involves all sectors of society– agriculture, health, governance, media, business, architecture, community development, science, education, recreation and more.
Students likely already know about the complexities of our current unsustainability and the challenges faced by environmental educators and communicators trying to address this problem. Our program is designed for those who wish to widen their perspective on environmental and related social issues, deepen their understanding of those areas essential to a skilled educator and/or communicator, explore different ways of understanding the causes of our current unsustainable society, and develop attributes essential to effective leadership.
Participants seek opportunities to learn with others from diverse backgrounds, to engage in core classes, co-operative projects, team planning, and group discussions to reach a better understanding of the language, expertise, and concerns of a wide range of education and communication professionals.
Students are typically professionals with bachelor's degrees and at least two years' experience working or interest in environmental education and communication.
Graduates of the program have gone on to advance in a variety of fields, from creating schools within the public and private education systems, to leading communications sections within major national and international non-profit organizations, to advising senior government ministers and Premiers, to gaining their PhD degrees with one alumni recently taking on a professorial position in a North American university.
Financial Awards
Royal Roads University has a variety of awards, scholarships, and bursaries available to help offset your tuition fees. The MA in Environmental Education and Communication program has a comparatively high success rate in Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) grant competitions and many of the program's students win significant financial awards. The SSHRC award at the MA level often aids the competitiveness of students for future grants, and grant writing is a marketable skill The unique advising structure and ability to gain one-to-one aid in grant writing are important features of RRU that help account for this success.
Graduates will return to their career with a range of theoretical knowledge and analytical and communications skills and competencies. Graduates have the skills and knowledge to develop and implement innovative programs to provide students, clients and other audiences with science-based information, psychologically-sound strategies, and culturally-appropriate, philosophically-nuanced and educationally-sophisticated approaches to current environmental issues.
Graduates will be able to:
-Develop and implement programs to provide students, clients and other audiences with up-to-date, reputable scientific and technological information, as well as traditional knowledge, about current environmental issues and opportunities
-Apply the best current knowledge of learning and cognition to the design, development, and implementation of programs about environmental education and communication
-Design, develop and implement environmental communications and education programs using a range of formats and incorporating relevant current technologies and media

Delivery Method
Combining the best of short residencies and innovative web-based instruction, the MA in Environmental Education and Communication program allows both busy working professionals and those just beginning their careers to get the most out of their academic experience. This combination of learning experiences allows students to benefit from the intensity of the program while still being able to meet the demands of family and workplace.
Participants in the MA program take 11 courses (41 credits) including the thesis course. Six courses are taken on-campus, and five are delivered at a distance through Internet-based technologies.
Certificate students take the first three courses in the schedule for a total of 9 credits. Diploma students take the first nine courses for a total of 24 credits.
We will utilize a range of educational methodologies, including case studies, field studies, cultural studies, team projects, lectures and seminar discussions, and online modules. RRU has become a leader in the delivery of web-based interactive distance education courses, and these will be of great value during non-residential periods.
Over two years, MA students attend two separate three-week residencies and one final two-week residency. The first residency introduces the cohort of students to each other, the faculty, and the RRU style of education as they participate in their first two courses. The middle residency incorporates two courses, may have a more directed field-based orientation, and helps prepare students for their thesis research. The final residency allows completing students to present their thesis findings to the larger environmental education and RRU community and incorporates their final courses, preparing them to be leaders in the field.
Students should expect to be fully occupied during the residency period. The regular classroom schedule is Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. with homework, readings, and team meetings done outside of these hours. There are activities during the regular workday and in the evenings. In addition to educational activities, there are a number of planned field trips and recreational events.
Online Courses
Online courses are delivered through the innovative use of internet technologies. Students draw on a range of learning resources, while using online discussion groups and drop boxes to develop and complete the electronic submission of both individual and team assignments.
Students take one nine-week distance course at a time. Each distance course requires an average time commitment of 10 - 20 hours per week.
Program Laddering
The structure of the program is laddered so that individuals are able to complete a Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma, or full Master's degree.
-The Graduate Certificate program was designed to be taken on its own, or to ladder into the Diploma or Master of Arts in Environmental Education and Communication. The Certificate would be awarded upon successful completion of a residency and one distance-based semester (approximately five months). Students may apply for transfer to the Diploma or MA stream during the Graduate Certificate program, or apply to the Diploma or MA program once they have completed the Certificate
-The Graduate Diploma program was designed to be taken on its own, or to ladder into the MA in Environmental Education and Communication. The Diploma would be awarded upon successful completion of two residencies and one distance-based semester (approximately 12 months). Students may apply for transfer to the MA stream during the Graduate Diploma program, or apply to the MA program once they have completed the Diploma
-The full two-year program leading to the MA is delivered through a combination of three residential periods, three distance-based semesters, and a thesis

I try ignore the whole "real life superhero" trend, because it seems pretty clear that they aren't really concerned with fighting crime so much as fighting not-getting-enough-attention. At the newspaper I used to work for in Seattle we would get spammed constantly with "tips" about these people—when pretty much the only newsworthy thing any of them ever did was to pepper-spray some strangers for public frolicking.
ANYHOO, that said, I would be bad at my job if I didn't let you guys know about Asthma Warrior. I'm not here to make fun of Asthma Warrior because I think Asthma Warrior has her heart in the right place. I'm just saying...Asthma Warrior. She's a warrior. Who has asthma. Asthma Warrior.

SANTA CRUZ - Joseph Louis Roisman of Watsonville pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges of assault to commit rape and indecent exposure, a prosecutor said.
Judge Ariadne Symons set a preliminary hearing for Jan. 28 and appointed the public defender's office to represent him.
Roisman was arrested in Watsonville's Apple Hills neighborhood Friday, after a 50-year-old woman said he exposed himself to her and then committed an unwanted sexual advance.
Roisman was arrested in 2006 as well, as part of a sting featured on NBC Dateline's "To Catch a Predator" show, after taking a bus to Petaluma to meet a decoy posing as a 13-year-old girl, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat reported at the time.
Then a 21-year-old serving in the Navy, he was found not guilty in 2011 when Sonoma County Superior Court Judge Arthur Wick ruled midway through trial prosecutors failed to prove Roisman had specific intent to commit an attempted lewd acts with a child under age 14.
Roisman remains in County Jail with bail set at $25,000.

Red Cross Moves Assistance Efforts
Fairfax County Office of Public Affairs
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 551
Fairfax, VA 22035-0065
Sept. 23, 2005
Red Cross Moves Local Hurricane Assistance Efforts to Fairfax County Government Office in Falls Church
Starting Monday, Sept. 26, the local offices (Fairfax, Arlington and Alexandria) of the American Red Cross will relocate to the first floor of Fairfax County's East County Government Center at 6245 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church (near Seven Corners), to jointly staff an assistance center for Hurricane Katrina victims. This will enable the Red Cross and the local jurisdictions to better serve those who need various types of assistance. Clients will no longer be seen at the local chapter offices once the center is open, except under special circumstances. The phone number at the relocated center is 703-538-7440, TTY 711.
During the transition, should you have trouble getting through on the new phone line, you can still call the old phone number, 703-584-8701, TTY 711. Hours of operation for the new location will be the same as before, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
In addition to receiving emergency assistance from the American Red Cross, those seeking assistance can also meet with staff from Fairfax County's Department of Family Services and other county agencies at the local government center to enroll in emergency medical assistance, find out about employment opportunities and access a range of services and support.
"The county's quick action and support have been wonderful," said Susan Aarhus, executive director of the American Red Cross' Fairfax-Falls Church office. "This
is a great partnership to meet the needs of hurricane evacuees in a very efficient way."

Date Climbed: Jan 1, 2010
|Quick climb up to distract from the hangover...good way to start the year, tho.
|Posted Sep 23, 2010 2:19 pm
|with the kid
Date Climbed: Apr 9, 2010
|Drove up Friday afternoon to spend Saturday with my daughter. As soon as she got off work, we did a quick hike up Carbonate. Good way to loosen up the legs after driving for 2.5 hours. Great view of Hailey! Cold and windy on top, so we didn't stay long.
|Posted Apr 10, 2010 8:17 pm
|Have climbed this numerous times. Usually just up the ridge. Now there is a switchback trail that is good for trail runners.
|Posted Sep 25, 2009 11:49 pm
|South Trail
Date Climbed: Jun 26, 2009
|Started hiking up the switchbacks then took the more direct route up the ridge. Nice hike with great views. Gets a ton of traffic!
|Posted Jun 28, 2009 6:40 pm
|Scrambling Man
|Great Hailey Hike: Climbed Numerous times
|The ridge is fairly steep and provides for a good early and late season hike when snow covers larger mountains. Its proximity to town makes it a nice hike to do when you don't have a lot of time. The views from the top are quite pleasant. Probably the busiest hill in the area.
|Posted Feb 14, 2006 9:25 pm
|Route Climbed: Southern Ridge Date Climbed: September 7, 2005
|I went straight up the ridge instead of taking the switchbacks. Great view of Hailey during the entire hike. I recommend doing this hike in spring or fall instead of summer like me. It was a very hot day. Good view of the Pioneer Mountains from the top.
|Posted Sep 8, 2005 3:01 pm
|Route Climbed: Trail from south Date Climbed: 3/9/2003
|This is a easy hike with a trail to the top. The trail is southerly exposed and melts out early in the season.
|Posted Feb 19, 2005 2:39 pm
|Route Climbed: Southern ridge Date Climbed: Many times
|This hike is a classic. The first 4/5's of the climb is very strenuos but rewarding with many places to stop and drink in the view. The views are to die for and the work-out is splendid. The valley looks so very flat from the summit and the Pioneer Mtns are very vivid. This is not a hike to be over looked.

A brain abscess is an infection in your child's brain that stays within its own area. This might be in one or more areas in the brain. This condition may cause problems with how the brain and spinal cord function.
The more common causes of a brain abscess in children are viruses, fungi, and bacteria. But bacteria are the most common cause. Bacteria and viruses can infect the brain in 3 ways:
Infection is spread from another area of infection in the body, usually from a nearby site. Typically, this might be an ear infection, sinus infection, or dental infection.
Infection is spread through the bloodstream from the lung or chest area.
Viruses or bacteria enter the brain directly through a wound in the head.
Your child is more likely to develop a brain abscess if he or she has:
Heart disease that is present from birth (congenital)
Long-term (chronic) middle ear and sinus infections
Dental or jaw infections
Infections of the face or scalp
Head injury or skull fracture
Traction. This is a medical device that uses pins or screws placed around the head to hold the head and neck areas still. It is used in a child who has a broken neck or for surgeries that need the head and neck to stay still.
Shunt infections. Shunts are devices used to drain extra cerebral spinal fluid.
Weakened immune system. This is when your child's body is less able to fight infection. Certain medicines and health conditions such as HIV can weaken the immune system.
The following are the most common symptoms of a brain abscess. But symptoms may be slightly different for each child.
A full or bulging soft spot on the top of the head (fontanelle)
Sleepiness or less alert than usual
Increased irritability
High-pitched cry
Poor feeding
Projectile vomiting
Complaints of severe headaches
Nausea and vomiting
Changes in personality or behavior
Changes in speech
Problems walking
Increased movement in the arms or legs (spasticity)
The symptoms of a brain abscess may look like other health conditions. Make sure your child sees his or her healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Your child's healthcare provider will look at your child's health history and family health history. He or she will do a physical exam. The provider will measure around your child's head and compare that number with a scale that can shows normal and abnormal ranges. As the infection grows and becomes bigger, it can push on the brain. This may cause increased pressure inside of the head. This pressure can cause symptoms in your child.
Your child may also need tests. These may include:
Blood tests
X-ray. This test uses radiation to make pictures of your child's skull. A skull X-ray probably won't show a brain abscess, but it can show fractures that might lead to an abscess.
MRI. This test uses large magnets, radio waves, and a computer to make detailed images of organs and structures within the body. Your child may be given a contrast dye to better see the abscess.
CT scan. This test uses X-rays and a computer to make detailed images of the body. Your child may be given a contrast dye to better see the abscess.
Urine and stool tests
Sputum culture. This test looks at material that is coughed up from the lungs and into the mouth. This test is often done to find out if your child has an infection.
Lumbar puncture (spinal tap). This test uses a needle to help measure the pressure in the spinal canal and brain. The healthcare provider can also remove a small amount of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) to send for testing. CSF is the fluid that bathes your child's brain and spinal cord. The fluid sample can help find out if your child has an infection or other problems. It is important to find out what kind of infection may be causing the abscess, because treatment differs depending on the cause. This test may not be done or may be delayed if your child has brain swelling or a shift in the brain tissue.
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is.
The key to treating a brain abscess is finding and treating it early. A child with a brain abscess needs to be put in the hospital right away. The healthcare provider will give your child antibiotics and watch your child closely. Your child may need surgery.
The goal of treatment is to reduce the pressure in the head and to properly drain the infection. Medicines are used to control the infection, seizures, fever, and other conditions that may be present. Other organs may be affected by the brain abscess. In severe cases, your child may need a breathing machine to help him or her breathe easier.
As your child recovers, he or she may need physical, occupational, or speech therapy. This will help your child regain muscle strength, speech skills, or both.
Your child's healthcare team will help you learn how to best care for your child at home. They will tell you what problems to watch for that need medical attention right away. Your child will need to see his or her healthcare provider often after treatment ends.

RECORDS: Stanford 5-0 overall, 3-0 Pac-12. Utah 3-2, 0-2.
KICKOFF: 3 p.m. at Rice-Eccles Stadium (capacity: 45,017).
TV: Pac-12 Networks.
SERIES HISTORY: Stanford leads 3-2, but the teams haven't met since 1996.
STORYLINES: Fifth-ranked Stanford looks to stay on track for the Pac-12 North title and extend its 13-game winning streak, the second-longest in the nation behind Ohio State (18 in a row). … Since joining the Pac-12 for the 2011 season, Utah is 0-4 against ranked conference opponents. Is this the week the Utes finally break through? … Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan is 10-0 as a starter but missed several open receivers last week against Washington. … Stanford's special teams have excelled in recent weeks and produced more than 200 yards in returns against Washington. … This is the Cardinal's first game in the state of Utah since an 18-14 victory over Brigham Young in 2003.
INJURY UPDATE: Stanford — DE Henry Anderson (knee) is out.
MATCHUP TO WATCH: Stanford center Khalil Wilkes and guards David Yankey and Kevin Danser against Utah defensive tackles Tenny Palepoi and LT Tuipulotu. … The Utes allow just 3.1 yards per rush, largely because of the 300-pound concrete pillars in the middle of the defense. If Stanford cannot run effectively, Hogan will be vulnerable to the fierce Utah pass rush: The Utes lead the conference in sacks.
STATS THAT MATTER: Stanford has scored at least 31 points in all five games. … Utah ranks near the bottom of the conference in four important categories: turnover margin (minus-0.8), third-down conversion (31.3 percent), third-down defense (36.7 percent) and red zone defense (90.5 percent). … Stanford is No. 13 nationally in converting third downs and scoring in the red zone.

Fox News can't handle the truth
Thomas Ricks, the Pulitzer Prize-winning military journalist, won't be invited back to Fox News any time soon. Not after his appearance yesterday, when he told the truth about Fox News - and was promptly hustled off the air.
For those of us who track the misadventures of the infauxtainment network, the Ricks incident was a hoot. Fox tapped Ricks to weigh in on the Benghazi "scandal" - a "scandal" ginned up by Fox, which thinks that President Obama mendaciously orchestrated some kind of coverup - and teed up Ricks by touting his credentials. He was supposed to be on the air for three minutes. He never got that far. Check out the transcript, and you'll see why.
Jon Scott (co-host): "Pressure mounting on the Obama administration over its response to the deadly attack on our consulate in Benghazi, as Catherine Herridge reported just minutes ago. Several top GOP lawmakers are backing off their criticism of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, instead focusing on the White House. Two senators even expressing concerns about a possible White House cover-up. Let's talk about it with Tom Ricks. He is author of The Generals. He has spent decades covering our military. He joins us now. (Addressing Ricks) Senator John McCain said in the past he would block any attempt to nominate Susan Rice to become U.N. - I'm sorry, secretary of state. She's currently the U.N. ambassador. He seems to be backing away from that. What do you make of it?"
Ricks: "I think that Benghazi generally was hyped, by this network especially, and that now that the campaign is over, I think he's backing off a little bit. They're not going to stop Susan Rice from being secretary of state."
Scott: "When you have four people dead, including the first dead U.N. ambassador - U.S. ambassador in more than 30 years, how do you call that hype?"
Ricks: "How many security contractors died in Iraq, do you know?"
Scott: "I don't."
Ricks: "No. Nobody does, because nobody cared. We know that several hundred died, but there was never an official count done of security contractors dead in Iraq. So when I see this focus on what was essentially a small firefight (in Benghazi), I think, number one, I've covered a lot of firefights. It's impossible to figure out what happens in them sometimes. And second, I think that the emphasis on Benghazi has been extremely political, partly because Fox was operating as a wing of Republican Party."
Scott: "All right. Tom Ricks, thanks very much for joining us today."
Ricks: "You're welcome."
You gotta love Scott's "thank you very much for joining us today," which translates to "Get the hell outta here." But let's start back at the beginning. The lead-in was classic Fox: "Pressure mounting on the Obama administration over its response to the deadly attack...." Actually, the "pressure" is just Foxchatter; within the closed conservative loop, it's standard practice to keep claiming, without a shred of proof, that Obama deliberately suppressed evidence of a terrorist plot in Benghazi. And "two senators" are expressing concerns about "a possible White House cover-up?" Wow, two senators...now there's a trend.
And somehow Fox expected Tom Ricks to hew to its faux story line. After all, he "has spent decades covering our military." But clearly the Fox bookers didn't do their homework about Ricks, a fellow at the Center for a New American Security. If they had, they would've discovered that Ricks dwells in the reality-based community. He spent a lot of time on the ground in Iraq, and subsequently wrote Fiasco, a breakthrough book that eviscerated George W. Bush for his "incompetence and arrogance," assailed the intelligence community for its screwups, ripped Congress for its oversight failures, and chastized the media for its lapdog behavior, especially during the runup to war.
Fox is mentioned a few times. Eight months into the disastrous war, the U.S. was losing a solider per day. Ricks was there, hanging out with a colonel named Teddy Spain. Spain was stewing over the death of one of his guys. As Ricks wrote, "The loss was on Spain's mind when he watched Fox News that evening: 'It talked about Michael Jackson, and about Martha Stewart, and so on, and about 15 minutes into it, they said, Oh and yeah, we lost a soldier in Baghdad today.'"
It's clear, from Ricks' work, that he (rightly) viewed Fox as the top media lapdog for the Bush regime, cheerleading for the Iraq war and willfully blind when the war went bad. Hence his (rightful) annoyance that Fox is now so hyped about Benghazi, a true tragedy that is nonetheless a molehill when weighed against the mountainous scandal of Iraq. Especially since Susan Rice was merely repeating the intelligence community's talking points about the Benghazi perpetrators, whose aims and affiliations are still in doubt. Which explains Ricks' money quote yesterday: "I've covered a lot of firefights. It's impossible to figure out what happens in them sometimes. And second, I think that the emphasis on Benghazi has been extremely political, partly because Fox was operating as a wing of Republican Party."
Whereupon Ricks got the quick hook, because Fox can't handle the truth.
Afterward, Fox news executive Michael Clemente tried to spin the hook. He said that Ricks' "goal was to bring attention to himself and his book." Credit Clemente with an infauxtainment classic; in point of fact, Fox gave Ricks the attention by putting him on the air as a military expert. Fox brought attention to his new book. As for Ricks, he simply said yesterday, post-hook, that "they asked my opinion, and I gave it."
No doubt he understands why Fox yanked him off. Three weeks ago, in a blog post on foreignpolicy.com, he wrote that Obama's re-election was probably a boon for Fox: "After all, it is much easier to work in opposition. You don't have to deal with messy realities, or defend the awkward compromises that come with it, and you can criticize at will...So maybe their business model is safe." It's safe indeed, as long as truth-tellers like Ricks get the hook.

TWO men found dead in Purton were friends who had been drinking heavily the night before they walked along Gloucester Sharpness Canal back to their narrowboats with their three dogs, a coroner heard today.
Nicholas Cyril Barry, 53, of Cynghordy, Llandovery in South Wales, and Terence Humphreys, 69, of Pleasant Valley, Narbeth in Haverfordwest had spent the afternoon and evening of Saturday, Jan 11 drinking up to nine pints of beer each at the Tudor Arms in Slimbridge.
They then set off in the dark to walk along the canal to get to their separate boats moored nearby.
Gloucestershire Coroner's officer Terry Onions said at 9.40am next morning, Jan 12, Mr Barry's body was found soaking wet on the canal bank at Purton with the dogs sitting nearby.
The body of Mr Humphreys was found 45 minutes later floating in the canal, he said.
"There are no suspicious circumstances but at this stage it is unknown exactly what happened," Mr Onions said at an opening of inquests into the two deaths.
He said post-mortem examinations had found both died from drowning although blood specimens have been sent for scientific analysis.
Mr Barry's body was formally identified by his brother Jonathan and Mr Humphreys by his son Lee Humphreys.
"Mr Barry was staying in his narrowboat on the canal. Mr Humphreys was also staying nearby on his own boat," Mr Onions said.
"The two met up at the Tudor Arms in Slimbridge and spent the afternoon and evening there drinking. They were accompanied by three dogs.
"Staff estimate they consumed up to nine pints of beer. They left the pub at closing time to walk along the unlit towpath with the dogs to their boats."
Assistant Gloucestershire Coroner Katy Skerrett took evidence of identification and adjourned the inquest until July.

I have been taking SAM-e (200 mg) every morning on an empty stomach for years. It is VERY effective in keeping away depression. I found it also helps with joint pain - used in conjunction with hylauronic acid. With these 2 supplements I am able to bend for long periods of time and get up with out pain. Last month I ran out of SAM-e and didn't may much attention to it. A couple of days after stopping SAM-e I noticed a BIG difference in my mood. I became depressed easily. It was as if black clouds hovered over me. I started back on the SAM-e and the black clounds passed.

Years ago, when I was probably about 74 I could not get right out of bed without taking a while to straighten up and it always hurt. I started taking Jarrow SAM-e, only 200mg, and I don't know when it happened but all of a sudden I realized I didn't have that stiffness anymore in the morning. So I just recently started taking it again, I am not going on 83, and it continues to help the arthritis in my neck and back and hips. I swear by it, great stuff, try it you will like it.

i've been taking Jarrow SAM-e 200mg for many years, this item was slightly higher in cost with Glucosamine added, something i also take. pigments were not included on the ingredient list. after receiving i discovered the color is from pigments i use to paint with. if i'd known that i never would have ordered. i'm doubtful the FDA has not approved pigments for ingestion. i'm sending back. i see no reason why any supplement needs pigment or any coloring unless it's a safe natural colorant such as beets or carrots. its absurd to use supplements tainted with potentially damaging ingredients.

I have taken Jarrow's Sam-e for 4-5 years, this was recommended by my naturopath. Their office reviews all the brands for natural products and chose Sam-e I use them. They also make sure that they use the best ingredients when making this product. When I have run out of Jarrow's Sam-e and have had to use another brand it doesn't have any effect. I only use this brand. I started taking it for depression and found the joint and other things it does are only an added help. Longevity*, Joint Strength*, Liver Detoxification*, Mood and Brain Function
Buy this you'll like it!

I recently started using another brand of SAM-e for mild depression. It helped some. For years I've taken glucosamin and chondriotin for joint pain but didn't feel much of a difference. I was looking for another brand of SAM-e when I discovered Jarrow's SAM-e Joint and thinking it would eliminate taking two products. Well, I LOVE this stuff! I feel totally different in two weeks. Muscle aches are less, joint pain less and the depression has lifted.

High quality product that works very efficiently. I have recommended this to many of my friends who also have issues with chemical imbalances. I personally have been taking this particular form of sam-e for almost a year now and it has made such an improvement in my quality of life.
Excellent product

I am convinced that Sam-e has helped me with some lower back pain and also mild depression. Personally I have found that half a pill, (100mg) is perfect for me with zero side effects. Jarrow Formulas I think is one of the best quality made out there.

SANTA ANA – A man was fatally shot and another was wounded Thursday evening in what police suspect was a gang-related shooting.
Police said they responded to a shooting to the 1900 block of West Third Street,at 5:18 p.m.
When they arrived, an 18-year-old and a 19-year-old were found shot in an alleyway near North Daisy Avenue, Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.
Joseph Castro, 19, of Santa Ana, died from his injuries at Western Medical Center-Santa Ana, where the 18-year-old is stable but in serious condition, authorities said.
Officials believe a gray or dark-colored vehicle was traveling eastbound in the alley when it stopped near Castro and the other man, Bertagna said.
Several people got out of the vehicle and asked Castro and the other man their gang status, and at least one of them opened fire, Bertagna said.
Castro and the other man have known gang ties and the Santa Ana police gang unit is investigating, officials said.
Police originally reported Castro was 24 because of witness reports, but later found he was 19, Bertagna said. The address was also listed incorrectly in the first report.
The Santa Ana Police Department is offering rewards for information leading to the arrest of gang homicide or felony gang assault suspects. Anyone with information may call (714) 245-8648.

Topic: Anyone on AMIODORONE? Does it cause Jaundice witth Gemcitabine?
My husband was dignosed with Cardiomyopathy 13 years ago and has been taking Amiodorone to regulate his heart ever since. This is pretty nasty stuff, and when he was diagnosed with CC 18 months ago we half suspected the medication may be a factor. The cancer progressed fairly slowly over the first 12 months but then picked up speed and 3 months ago so he was started on Gemcitabine. He only had 5 out of 9 treatments due to low platelets, but after the last treatment developed Jaundice so couldnt have any more which was a pity as it had halted the growth of the cancer over the period of Chemo.
Our oncologist though he may need a stent in his bile duct but the CT showed that although the bile duct was a little dilated it would not have caused the jaundice on its own.
My questions are:
1. Did anyone get jaundice just from the Gemcitabine alone, and if so did it clear up on its own;
2. Do you think the Amiodorone could cause jaundice given that the liver was already stressed with the chemo?
The Oncologist is refferring my husband to a liver specialist as he thinks it is not the cancer which is causing this jaundice. They will probably do a biopsy of the healthy part of his liver to see if it is working properly.
Apart from the jundice the only other symptom is extreme tiredness.
