U.S. Education Secretary's delegation to have town hall meeting at Emporia State UniversitySeptember 12, 2012
Education will be the topic when a member of the Obama administration stops at Emporia State University for a town hall meeting.
Arne Duncan, U.S. education secretary, along with Dennis Van Roekel, president of the National Education Association, and Cynthia Apalinski, a third-grade science teacher from New Jersey and a 2012 Teaching Ambassador Fellow, will lead a town hall meeting Tuesday, Sept. 18, in the atrium of Emporia State's Visser Hall, home of the university's Teachers College.
Before the meeting, the group will visit the National Teachers Hall of Fame, founded in 1989 by Emporia State University, the ESU Alumni Association, the City of Emporia, Emporia Public Schools and the Emporia Area Chamber of Commerce. The Hall of Fame draws attention to exceptional PreK-12 teachers with at least 20 years of teaching experience through a museum, teacher resource center and a recognition program that annually honors five outstanding PreK-12 educators across the country. Both Duncan and Van Roekel attended the reception at NEA headquarters in Washington, D.C., to honor the five inductees in the Class of 2012.
The participating audience for the town hall meeting will include students from The Teachers College plus current teachers, administrators and other community members. The meeting will start with a presentation on the U.S. Department of Education's RESPECT (Recognizing Educational Success, Professional Excellence and Collaborative Teaching) project, which seeks to work with educators to rebuild the teaching profession along the entire spectrum of recruitment, preparation, professional development, compensation and retention. The remainder of the meeting will be questions posed by audience members and responded to by Duncan, Van Roekel and Apalinski.
The Emporia stop is one of two in Kansas as part of the 10-day Education Drives America tour that ends Sept. 21 in the nation's capital.
"America's future is directly linked to the quality of education that we provide our children, young people and adults," said Duncan, before the tour's launch in Redwood City, Calif. "This bus tour is an opportunity to highlight what's working and create momentum for education reforms that improve the lives of all students."
"For nearly 150 years, Emporia State University's Teachers College has been at the forefront of teacher education," said Dr. Ken Weaver, dean of The Teachers College. "We are honored to have Secretary Duncan and President Van Roeckel stop in Emporia to honor career teachers inducted into the National Teachers Hall of Fame and seek input about education in America. It promises to be inspirational for our students and our faculty."
Emporia's town hall meeting is open to the public and will begin at 2:45 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 18 and continue for 45 minutes. Free parking is available on campus for the meeting.
Seating on the floor of Skillett Atrium is by invitation only, but observers will be able to see and hear the discussion from the second- and third-floor galleries overlooking the atrium. For those who choose not to stand for the event, Visser Hall 118 will be available for viewing the event via the U.S. Department of Education's live stream on the Internet. The live-stream will be online at http://livestream.emporia.edu.

What are Preschool Services and where are they located?Maryland Preschool Services include special instruction and related services provided to young children, ages three through five, who qualify under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA, Part B, Section 619). Through its twenty-four local school systems (23 counties and Baltimore City), Maryland's Preschool Services program ensures the provision of a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) to all eligible children at no cost to their families, and in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). LRE means that young children with disabilities should receive services in typical community-based early childhood settings and programs whenever possible, and only go to more restrictive or specialized settings when their individual needs require it.
Who is eligible?Young children ages 3 through 5 who have a disability as defined by one of the categories listed below are eligible for preschool services provided through the local school system. In some local school systems preschool children may also be eligible if they meet the criteria of Developmental Delay (please contact the Child Find Coordinator in your local school system to find out if the Developmental Delay criteria are used). In Maryland, the categories of disability include:
How does a child become eligible?Starting with the local school system Child Find office, children can receive screening services to identify any areas of concern for further assessment by a multidisciplinary team. Following completion of assessments, the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) Team, of which parents are essential members, meets to review and discuss findings in order to make a determination of eligibility under one of the established disability categories.What happens next?Once a child is determined to have a disability, the IEP Team works together to develop the IEP, a written document identifying the special education and related services necessary to support the child's development and educational program. The IEP allows everyone with a role in teaching and nurturing the child to understand what the child will need to grow and prosper, and the particular role they can play as a supportive member of the child's team. Services identified on an IEP might include special instruction, speech and language therapy, physical and occupational therapy, assistive technology devices and services, psychological services, and other services identified by the IEP Team as necessary for the child to benefit from participating in an educational program.
Where can services be provided?After the IEP is developed and agreed upon by the IEP Team, the next important step in the process is to identify the setting, or Least Restrictive Environment (LRE), in which the child's special education and related services needs can be met. Appropriate LRE settings for preschool children can include a preschool special education class in (or closest to) the neighborhood school, a general education preschool program, local Head Start program, approved private preschool, child care center, or another early childhood setting available within the community.
What are procedural safeguards and why are they important?Procedural Safeguards are policies established to ensure and protect the basic rights of children receiving special education and related services. Parents receive a copy of the Procedural Safeguards as part of every IEP Team meeting, and should be encouraged to ask questions about any of the policies and procedures as well as concerns they may have about their child's program.
For more information about Maryland Preschool Services, contact the local school system Child Find office, or the Maryland State Department of Education, Preschool Services Section, 410-767-0261 or 1-800-535-0182.

New beer from Rogue, new can from Founders
Two news items I thought were worth sharing.
The first is the newest beer being released under the Rogue Farms series, the new Honey Kolsch, which will be released on July 1.
The Honey Kolsch is made from locally Rogue Farms Honeybees in Oregon.
I've been complaining lately about Rogue using gimmicks for many of its beers, often for not too positive results.
I overlooked the Rogue Farms series. The beers have been strong, and I think it's good that Rogue is trying to use the local ingredients available them to create some solid beers and to showcase the local terroir. I'll definitely support this type of effort from Rogue.
And, if you're a fan of low alcohol canned beers, the latest news from Founders is for you.
Today, they announced that its All Day IPA, the 4.7 percent ABV, will be availabe in cans, both in six packs and 12 packs, beginning this summer.fan of local alcohol canned beers, this news from Founders Brewing Company is for you.
"It means people will be able to enjoy our beer at golf courses, marinas and while hiking or camping,' said co-founder and CEO Mike Stevens. "And we think All Day IPA works in a can particularly well."

MONTREAL — When Bryna Wasserman announced in the spring of last year that she was leaving the Segal Centre for Performing Arts after 15 years, the news was especially unsettling to lovers of Yiddish theatre.
In addition to being the Segal's artistic director, Wasserman was director of the Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theatre (DWYT), which her late mother founded more than 50 years earlier.
"We were in shock," admits Aron Gonshor, now the Yiddish theatre committee chair. Wasserman was moving to New York to be executive director of the Folksbiene Yiddish Theater. The future looked cloudy, even though she was to maintain ties as DWYT's honorary artistic director.
Although most agree that Wasserman can never be replaced, Yiddish culture at the Segal today has not only survived, but is flourishing, thanks in large part to financial support from the Alvin Segal Family Foundation and a small group of dedicated volunteers.
In addition to the annual DWYT main-stage production in the spring, directed by Audrey Finkelstein, a DWYT veteran despite her youth, there is also year-round Yiddish programming. The "I Love Yiddish" series kicked off this month with Gonshor and Sam Stein starring in a staged reading of Komedyantn, a Yiddish version of Neil Simon's The Sunshine Boys.
The show, held in the Segal's Studio, was oversold, Gonshor said. It was originally scheduled to run over two nights, but the duo was nervous about the box office. They needn't have been.
"We'll probably reprise it in the winter or spring," he said.
The Segal has a new co-ordinator of Yiddish programming, CJAD radio broadcaster Dan Laxer. While not fluent in the mamaloshen, he is a graduate of Jewish People's and Peretz Schools and Bialik High School, so "I can handle a fairly simple conversation in Yiddish."
He has a longtime association with the DWYT through his wife, actor Michelle Heisler, who is director of the Segal's YAYA program (Young Actors for Young Adults), which is devoted to passing on the Yiddish heritage to children and teens.
"Part of my job is to help bring in a new, younger audience," said Laxer, 45. With English and sometimes French subtitles now used, Laxer is looking beyond the Jewish community.
"To paraphrase an old ad, you don't have to be Jewish to love Yiddish theatre. If I can go to an opera in Italian or German or French, how is it any different to see a play in Yiddish?"
The next production in the series is a staged reading of a Yiddish version of Michel Tremblay's beloved play Les Belles-soeurs on Dec. 3 and 4.
This marks the 20th anniversary of the DWYT's original Yiddish play, Di Shveigerins, with translation by Pierre Anctil and Goldie Morgentaler.
Most of the original 15-member, all-female cast is returning, said Gonshor, a dentist by profession, who comes from a Yiddish-speaking home. He was a member of the late Dora Wasserman's children's troupe in the early 1950s, forerunner of the DWYT.
The collaboration between Dora Wasserman and Tremblay was hailed as an intercultural breakthrough, and it was the start of a warm friendship until her death in 2003.
"Tremblay said that, of all the languages Les Belles-soeurs was translated into, this one came closest to capturing the original's flavour," Gonshor said.
Gonshor emphasized the "staged" in these productions. There are sets and costumes, and the actors do act. "Done well, you forget that they are holding a script," he said.
All actors are amateurs volunteering their time, Gonshor noted, but this and the other Yiddish programs benefit from the Segal's professional crew and its top-quality facilities. Di Shveigerins is professionally directed by Rachelle Glait.
"I Love Yiddish" will continue with a cultural event almost every month, featuring local or out-of-town talent.
As the Segal evolves into a major Montreal cultural institution, the continuing health of its Yiddish component speaks to Alvin Segal's commitment to not letting it lose sight of its Jewish roots, Gonshor said.
It was Segal's love of Yiddish theatre that attracted the philanthropist to the then-Saidye Bronfman Centre in 1998, he said.
"We are trying to maintain Dora's vision of community theatre: theatre for the community by the community," Gonshor said.
The year-long programming provides a much-needed opportunity for a surprisingly large number of would-be Yiddish artists to hone their craft, he said. Many excellent performers have also been recruited who know little or no Yiddish, he added.
"The issue is not where do we find the artists, but what do we do with all the ones we have?" he said.
"We keep hearing that live theatre, generally, is in crisis. People were talking about Yiddish being under stress 100 years ago, yet Yiddish theatre here is in better shape than ever.
"We have an audience, and whether they understand everything doesn't matter. They want to be part of Yiddish theatre."
This season's main-stage DWYT production in June, part of the Segal's regular subscription season, is Tales from Odessa, an original play based on the stories of Isaac Babel.
Josh "Socalled" Dolgin, another younger recruit who came up through KlezKanada's ranks to become a hot indie artist, is writing the music and lyrics.
All this, Gonshor stressed, is not to suggest that Bryna Wasserman is not sorely missed. She continues to act as a consultant to the DWYT, and he hopes that will continue for as long as possible.

Multimedia site Collider.com has posted a rather lengthy and in depth interview article with Mr. Weaving, concerning his past, present and future film works. Of importance to us, he speaks about his time as Megatron and unfortunately how unimportant it was to him, as an actor. You can read the full article here. If you want just the tidbit that pertains to us, we've quoted it, in full, here:
As the voice of Megatron, has Michael Bay called about the next Transformers movie yet?
WEAVING: No. That's a weird job for me because it honestly was a two-hour voice job, initially. I was doing a play and I actually didn't have time, anyway. It was one of the only things I've ever done where I had no knowledge of it, I didn't care about it, I didn't think about it. They wanted me to do it. In one way, I regret that bit. I don't regret doing it, but I very rarely do something if it's meaningless. It was meaningless to me, honestly. I don't mean that in any nasty way. I did it. It was a two-hour voice job, while I was doing other things. Of course, it's a massive film that's made masses of money. I just happened to be the voice of one of the iconic villainous characters. But, my link to that and to Michael Bay is so minimal. I have never met him. I was never on set. I've seen his face on Skype. I know nothing about him, really. I just went in and did it. I never read the script. I just have my lines, and I don't know what they mean. That sounds absolutely pathetic! I've never done anything like that, in my life. It's hard to say any more about it than that, really.
Feel free to join the discussion by posting your comments. Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest news and updates!

Symptoms of type 1 diabetes often appear suddenly and are often the reason for checking blood sugar levels. Because symptoms of other types of diabetes and prediabetes come on more gradually or may not be evident, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has recommended screening guidelines. The ADA recommends that the following people be screened for diabetes:
If the A1C test results aren't consistent, the test isn't available, or if you have certain conditions that can make the A1C test inaccurate — such as if you're pregnant or have an uncommon form of hemoglobin (known as a hemoglobin variant) — your doctor may use the following tests to diagnose diabetes:
If type 1 diabetes is suspected, your urine will be tested to look for the presence of a byproduct produced when muscle and fat tissue are used for energy when the body doesn't have enough insulin to use the available glucose (ketones). Your doctor will also likely run a test to see if you have the destructive immune system cells associated with type 1 diabetes called autoantibodies.
Your doctor will likely evaluate your risk factors for gestational diabetes early in your pregnancy:
Your doctor may use the following screening tests:

Depression is an illness that makes you feel sad, lose interest in things you used to enjoy, withdraw from others, and have little energy. It's more than normal sadness, grief, or low energy. Most people get better with medicine, counseling, or a combination of the two.
After you have had an episode of depression, you are more likely to have it again.

Counties and cities frequently have uneasy relationships. The City of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County, for example, are known for a long history of bitter—and frequently asinine—rivalry and failure to cooperate.
This has improved somewhat since the creation of the Regional Planning Authority (RPA), which is a joint city/county body that considers land use issues in the five mile "extraterritorial zone" of county jurisdiction that surrounds the city's boundary.
Notable progress has been made surrounding water issues, a shared vision of economic development and more sustainable building practices. Other notable factors in this localized frontera, including annexation and emergency services, remain perpetually contentious. The situation is improving, but mutual mistrust and political grandstanding by individual county commissioners or city councilors still has the potential to derail and set back progress at every turn.
By now, presumably, the city has realized that, state capital or no, it is stuck in the midst of the county. The county, for its part, must have grudgingly accepted the city as its chief source of income and stature. One might guess the two would work hand in hand, follow each other's leads on important issues and develop mutually beneficial strategies.
Indeed, the city and county recently joined together in an ambitious coalition. Both left the North Central Regional Transit District (NCRTD ) to strike out on their own together.
Because it turns out that the city and county of Santa Fe are most readily compatible in disdain for their neighbors.
The Board of County Commissioners (BCC), in a divided and divisive vote on July 7, opted to leave the NCRTD, particularly provoked to do so by outgoing County Commissioner Jack Sullivan. The City of Santa Fe, in a move led by City Councilor Rebecca Wurzburger, but unanimously accepted by the City Council, had voted the month before to do, well, whatever the county did.
So, if the county jumped off of a cliff…?
There are points on which it is sensible to follow the county. As the city weighs how to move forward with its proposed "service center" on Agua Fria Street near Siler Road (at almost precisely the border to the county), it would do well to examine the county's new Public Works facility. Designed by Santa Fe architect Michael Freeman, the building is a clever and elegant assembly of elements designed for function. Form, as they say, follows, and follows well.
The county's planned behemoth of a courthouse, unlikely to come in under its $55 million budget, might look almost tolerable, dropped like a fauxdobe monolith on the former Paramount in the center of the city, but Freeman's $16 million Public Works complex is shaping up to be genuinely graceful in its barren and industrial site. It's also efficient. No one is springing for overhyped LEED certification, but the buildings are smart, contemporary renditions of the area's passive solar tradition.
From individual work space to wind power, the details are well-considered. The building's beauty stems from a strict adherence to a utilitarian approach, which leaves much of the recent architecture completed by the city and the county feeling stylistically labored or decidedly institutional. The whole facility, something the BCC supported wholly, is a model worth following.
But, right now, the only place the city is following the county is up its own assertion that sharing transportation costs and planning with the surrounding four counties won't be beneficial. The county-issued press release defensively lists eight bullet points to describe why it feels it must withdraw from cooperative efforts with the entire north central region of New Mexico, but it comes down to a stubborn insistence that Santa Fe will be footing $1.3 million of transportation expenses each year that will serve other counties, never mind the fact that Los Alamos County has been footing the bill all along for service from Edgewood to Santa Fe, via El Dorado.
The rest of New Mexico already views Santa Fe (city and county) as elitist and self-aggrandizing and generally inconsiderate. Now that we're not willing to share expenses for services that will only open Santa Fe to the surrounding counties, that view can only worsen. We should be at the vanguard of broad, regional cooperation and not allow provincial bean counters to play hick power politics with serious issues. The city and county claim to have options for maintaining current standards and creating a robust future network, but the only real option, in terms of attracting significant state and federal transportation funding, is to form a small transit district between the two entities.
So: Two parties with a proven inability to get along are going to invest time, money and energy to legally form a specialized district that will then compete for funds with an existing district that already surrounds them. It will have a less effective lobby, will have incurred the wrath of our neighboring counties and the state and will take longer to attract meaningful amounts of money to expand public transportation at exactly the moment when oil prices are creating an opportunity for expansive public buy-in.
It is poor, immodest and ungrateful behavior disguised as responsibility and frugality.
But then, the two commissioners who most pushed us in this horrible direction, Sullivan and Paul Campos, are outgoing anyhow; they won't even be around to clean up the mess.
A challenge to the city and the county: Start tracking, right now, all of the staff time and funds it takes to avoid cooperating with the whole region and build your own snooty playground instead. The tally will prove that no money is saved in the end.
But then, it was really never about money, was it?

TORONTO — Three political pundits, including Conrad Black, recently spoke about what Israel and the United States should do to fight the Iranian nuclear threat.
Black, a former Canadian newspaper publisher, Mark Dubowitz, the executive director of a U.S. foundation, and Bret Stephens, an American newspaper columnist, shared their views to a full house at Beth Tzedec Congregation. The Nov. 19 event was sponsored by Torah in Motion.
Stephens, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal, said stopping Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons is effectively an attempt to stop World War III.
Dubowitz, executive director of the U.S.-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said that he and the other speakers had similar views about the situation – that there was no debate on whether something needed to be done about the Iranian nuclear threat.
Where the panellists differed, however, was in determining how it should be done, and, in particular, the efficacy of sanctions.
Black said he's not convinced sanctions work very well. "[Sanctions are] more than likely to produce an appetite for compromise and even concession," he said, explaining that he shares former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher's view on sanctions. They "punish all of the people, and not all of the people are responsible."
Dubowitz agreed that implementing sanctions isn't a "silver bullet." They're not going to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons, he said, but they have worked in placing the Iranian regime into the "penalty box."
"Sanctions have had a profound moral impact on the Iranian regime," he said, adding sanctions may accomplish the necessary preconditions for a military strike against Iran.
Stephens said it's not only important to get rid of Iran's nuclear facilities, but also to implement a long-term plan to rid the country of the current regime.
"It is hard to imagine unintended consequences that could possibly be worse than the foreseeable consequences of Iran being equipped with nuclear weapons," he said, adding that the possibility that Iran could actually use the weapons once they have them should not be discounted.
Black said countries such as the United States should be doing more to prevent a nuclear Iran, which includes the use of a military strike if the country does not yield to ultimatums.
While Dubowitz agreed that there are already enough justifications to take a military strike, he said the United States has an obligation to exhaust every peaceful method first, since a strike would put the lives of too many Americans and Israelis on the line.
"Even if we do resort to military strikes, it doesn't hurt to try to weaken them first with sanctions," he said, adding that sanctions are surely collapsing Iran's economy, but it isn't doing so fast enough.
Black contested that he wasn't suggesting a full-blown war with Iran. "We're just talking about blowing up a laboratory or a group of laboratories," he said. "If they don't stop it, then we are going to incite steadily more irresponsible and dangerous behaviour."
Dubowitz, despite his positive view of sanctions, doesn't believe diplomacy or sanctions will counter the Iranian threat. We know where these facilities are, and if we don't stop them by summer 2013, it will be too late, he said.
He said he's worried that U.S. President Barack Obama's administration will try to negotiate with Iran, and the United States will make a "stupid agreement" that might give Iran the right to enrichment.
All three speakers expressed worry that the Obama administration will not take strong enough action.
The sooner a military action is taken against Iran, the better, said Stephens. Maybe targeted bombing doesn't always work, and maybe some civilians will be killed, he said. But the governments cannot tremble in fear at the idea of some kind of military action against Iran.
"We are not, or ought not to be in the business of making sure that all of our actions can be justified in light of history or current circumstances," he said. "We are in the business of making sure that we, as Jews, and the State of the Israel, will survive for generations."

ACADEMY: Update from Cape Town06-Dec-2012
On their first full day of practice under the cloudless skies and heat of Cape Town at the Western Province Cricket Club (WPCC), Sussex's Academy players met with the Club's new vice-captain Chris Nash, who gave a very interesting overview of what it takes to maximise the opportunities given to those wanting to become a professional cricketer, especially while playing on tour abroad.
For most of the players it will be the first occasion they have been away from their family for a prolonged period of time. Chris remarked that he first toured abroad as a 16 year-old with Sussex teammates Matt Prior, Carl Hopkinson, Andy Hodd and Michael Yardy. He mentioned that like them thirteen years ago, the players should enjoy their time playing in fabulous conditions (as pictured above), at exceptional locations and take advantage of every opportunity on the field and as many local cultural experiences off it.
Chris also emphasised that personal sacrifices would need to be made if they decide to pursue their dream as a professional cricketer and enjoy the "Best Job in the World". Rather than going out with their mates as much as they would like while they were growing up, they would be better placed to focus on their dream job or career path – and to reap the rewards having left school and possibly being able to play all over the globe; something which Chris now is very thankful for and "Playing for the Best Club in the World".
On the field today, all the players had a chance to loosen and stretch themselves from the travelling to South Africa and enjoy some hard work batting, bowling and fielding. The training today was followed by a swim in the WPCC's swimming pool before returning to the hotel about thirty minutes drive away. The players train on Thursday and have their first match, against Bishops School – one of the tougher local school opponents on Friday.
Thanks to Scorer/Analyst Graham Irwin for the updates from South Africa

Medial epicondylitis is pain over the bone on the inner side of the elbow. The piece of bone that can be felt on the inner side of the elbow is called the medial epicondyle. When the tendons attached to this bone are overstretched or torn, they can become painful. This is called tendinopathy .
Medial epicondylitis is commonly called golfer's elbow, but it is not restricted to people who play golf. It can occur in tennis players and other people who repeatedly grip objects tightly.
Golfer's elbow is caused by overusing the flexor muscles of the forearms. Overusing these muscles can stretch or tear the tendons attached to the medial epicondyle.
Causes include:
- Improper golf swing technique or grip of golf clubs
- Wrong model of golf clubs
- Improper technique for hitting a tennis ball
- Improper size of tennis racquet or tension of racquet strings
Doing certain arm motions too much, such as:
- Golf swings
- Tennis strokes (forehand or serve)
- Painting
- Raking
- Pitching
- Rowing
- Using a hammer or screwdriver
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of medial epicondylitis include:
- Playing golf or tennis
- Work that requires repetitive gripping or clenching of the fingers (especially when the hand is bent up or down at the wrist)
- Muscle imbalance
- Decreased flexibility
- Advancing age
Symptoms include:
- Pain or tenderness on the inner side of the elbow
Pain increases when:
- Shaking hands
- Turning doorknobs
- Picking up objects with your palm down
- Hitting a forehand in tennis
- Swinging a golf club
- Applying pressure to this area
- Possibly pain extending down the forearm
- Tightness of forearm muscles
- Stiffness or trouble moving the elbow or hand
The doctor will ask about your symptoms, medical history, recent physical activity, and how the injury occurred. You may not remember the event that caused the injury because golfer's elbow pain develops over time. The doctor will examine your elbow for:
Pain on the inner side of the elbow when:
- Doing certain arm motions
- Pressing on the medial epicondyle
- Stiffness of elbow and pain with wrist movement
X-rays are not usually necessary. However, an x-ray may be needed if the doctor suspects other problems.
An MRI scan is occasionally used for diagnosis, but there is only limited evidence supporting this use.
Treatment includes:
Do not do activities that cause pain. Do not play sports, especially golf and tennis, until the pain is gone. You may need to alter how you do certain activities.
Regular ice application may help decrease some discomfort and swelling.
The following drugs can help to reduce inflammation and pain:
- Nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Acetaminophen
- Topical pain relievers that are applied to the skin
If you still have tenderness in the elbow while taking these drugs, do not return to physical activity. Check with your doctor.
Wear a counter-force brace on your forearm if recommended by your healthcare professional. This brace limits the force generated by your forearm muscles when you use them.
Apply heat to the elbow only when you are returning to physical activity. Then use it before stretching or getting ready to play sports.
When the acute pain is gone, start gentle stretching as recommended by a healthcare professional. Stay within pain limits. Hold each stretch for about 10 seconds and repeat 6 times.
Begin strengthening exercises for the flexor muscles of the forearm as recommended.
Gradual Return to Your Sport
Begin arm motions of your sport or activity (such as golf swings, tennis strokes, painting) as recommended.
Cortisone Injection
The doctor may inject cortisone into the elbow near the medial epicondyle to reduce pain and inflammation.
To help reduce your chance of medial epicondylitis:
- Keep your arm muscles strong so they can absorb the energy of sudden physical stress.
- After a short warm-up period, stretch your arm muscles before physical activity.
- Learn the proper technique for activities that require forearm motion.
If you play golf, ask a golf specialist to check your:
- Swing technique
- Grip
- Model of golf clubs
If you play tennis, ask a tennis specialist to check your:
- Technique for hitting a forehand
- Racket size and tension of racket strings

A dermatofibroma is an very common skin growth. It is a small, firm bump on the skin. The dermis layer of skin contains nerve endings, glands, and vessels. The bump is an overgrowth of the tissue in the dermis layer. The bump is generally pinkish-brown in color. It is often found on the legs. Sometimes more than one appears. Generally, they are harmless and are not connected to skin cancer.
The cause is unknown. Dermatofibromas sometimes appear after a minor injury to the skin. This can include an insect bite or a prick of a thorn.
Risk Factors
The following factors increase your chance of developing dermatofibromas:
- Sex: women are more likely to develop this condition than men.
- Age: adults (dermatofibromas are rarely found in children)
These bumps rarely cause symptoms. However, it is always important to see a doctor about any new skin growth.
Dermatofibromas are:
Usually reddish-brown in color
- Are darker in individuals with darker skin
- May change color over time
- Found most often on the legs, but may also appear on the arms or torso of the body
- Small in size (3-10 millimeters)
- Very firm to touch
- Sometimes itchy or sensitive when touched
- Raised from the skin and may bleed if damaged (eg, a dermatofibroma can bleed if you shave over it)
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
A dermatofibroma is diagnosed by sight and touch. Your doctor may also squeeze the skin over the bump. When squeezed together, a dimple will form.
If diagnosis is not certain, the bump can be surgically removed. The removed tissue will be examined under a microscope.
Dermatofibromas do not go away by themselves. Treatment is usually not necessary. It may be done if they are causing you some discomfort (itching or pain) or you feel they are unattractive. They do not pose any risk to your health.
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
The dermatofibroma may be cut off surgically. This can be done with local anesthesia.
Keep in mind that the dermatofibroma is usually deep. The removal will leave a scar.
Liquid nitrogen can be used to freeze the bump and flatten it out. This method usually leaves a white mark behind. The dermatofibroma may also eventually grow back.

Emporia State hall of famer earns special awardSeptember 4, 2012
A member of the Emporia State University Athletics Hall of Honor will receive the Pride of Kansas Award from the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame. Bill Freeman will be recognized at 6:45 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7, at the Southern Coffey County High School football field in LeRoy, Kan. The award will be presented just before kickoff of the SCC game against Lebo High School.
The Pride of Kansas Award is given to Kansas coaches and athletes who achieved a lifetime of greatness on the field of competition while maintaining the highest level of integrity in positively influencing the lives of youth in the state," said Ted Hayes, president and CEO of the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame. "Next to induction in the Hall of Fame, the Pride of Kansas Award is the highest honor given to a coach or athlete by the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame."
Freeman, who lives in LeRoy, is one of the most successful high school football coaches in the state of Kansas. Teams he coached at three different school won eight state titles in three different classifications. He coached for 36 years with a career records of 242-81-3. He served as head coach at Baxter Springs, Parker Rural, Nickerson, LeRoy, Osawatomie and Lawrence. Five of Freeman's state football titles came with teams from Lawrence High School between 1974 and 1990. Osawatomie High School earned a state title under Freeman in 1973.
His two other state football titles are termed "mythical," according to Hayes. They were selected by the media in years before the Kansas State High School Activities Association instituted a state football playoff system. Those two titles came at LeRoy in 1963 and Osawatomie in 1966.
Freeman coached several players who went on to play in the National Football League, including Lynn Dickey, Derrick Jensen, Jeff Wright, Bucky Scribner and Keith DeLong. Freeman also coached Lawrence High School track and field teams to 6A state titles in 1989 and 1990.
A Burlington, Kan., native, Freeman graduated from Emporia State University in 1953 and was inducted into the ESU Hall of Honor in 1996 as a four-year letterman at offensive guard for the Hornets between 1949 and 1953. Freeman also has been inducted into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame — Jayhawk Chapter and the KSHSAA Hall of Fame.

Rescue Raid Turns Deadly
Algeria Operation to Free Hostages Stuns U.S., U.K.
By DAVID GAUTHIER-VILLARS , CASSELL BRYAN-LOW and ADAM ENTOUS
Algeria's military launched a raid Thursday to free about 40 foreigners held by militants at a remote natural-gas complex--leaving some hostages dead, surprising and angering several governments and putting leaders across the world at a loss to determine the fate of their citizens.
The U.S., U.K. and Japan, whose nationals were among those held, said they had urged the Algerians not to resort to force to free the hostages, who were taken Wednesday by militants with suspected ties to al Qaeda's regional affiliate. The U.S. and U.K. received no warning that the raid was beginning, officials from the countries said.
"Before the raid began, we urged the Algerians to be cautious and strongly encouraged them to make the safety of the hostages their top priority," an Obama administration official told The Wall Street Journal.
Some foreign hostages were killed when forces raided the southeast Algerian natural-gas facility, called In Amenas, an Algerian government official confirmed. He didn't elaborate. Algerian officials have told their American and European counterparts that news reports of the number of hostages killed at the site were vastly exaggerated, saying the number was likely close to 11 or 12, according to U.S. and Western officials.
The Algerian official said only that at least four engineers had been freed. An Irish hostage is safe and has made contact with his family, the Irish government said.
By late Thursday, with details sparse and often contradictory, most governments with citizens at the site said they were unable to offer casualty numbers or account for their missing.
U.S. officials said they believe as many as eight Americans were among the hostages. But officials have so far been unable to independently corroborate how many were killed in the raid, White House National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said. "Reports of casualties are all over the map," he said.
Even if Americans aren't among the casualties, U.S. officials worried that the siege pointed to a new era of terrorist attacks on Western interests in loosely governed regions, particularly in energy-rich parts of Africa. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday that the hostage crisis illustrated the growing threat of Islamic extremism in northern Africa and the need for the U.S. to coordinate closely with African and European countries to combat it.
Playing out deep in Algeria's desert, the drama focuses international attention on al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, and related groups that have spread across a vast territory that encompasses parts of Mali, Algeria, Libya and Chad. Members of AQIM claimed responsibility for Wednesday's hostage-taking, which they branded retaliation after France sent combat troops last week to support neighboring Mali in its battle against al Qaeda-backed militants.
A Briton and an Algerian were killed in Wednesday's militant attack, Algeria's Interior Ministry has said.
Nationals of nearly a dozen countries were among the hostages, with Norway, Austria and France also among those confirming that their citizens were held. The In Amenas project, a partnership between U.K.-traded BP PLC, Norway's Statoil and Algerian energy company Sonatrach, employs some 600 people, according to BP.
Thursday's action by the Algerians was its second attempt in as many days to free the hostages.
U.S. officials said Algeria didn't give the White House warning before it launched the raid. U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron also hadn't been informed of the operation beforehand, according to a spokesman for Mr. Cameron, who added that the prime minister lodged a personal protest Thursday with his Algerian counterpart.
As the raid unfolded, Mr. Cameron postponed a highly anticipated speech on Britain's role in the European Union. "It is a very dangerous, a very uncertain and a very fluid situation," Mr. Cameron, speaking with British Broadcasting Corp., said of the battle. "I think we have to prepare ourselves for the possibility of bad news ahead."
Algeria defended its decision to strike at the militants. The government took all necessary measures to reach a favorable ending, the country's press agency quoted Algerian communications minister Mohammed Said as saying. But the "radicalism of terrorists" had forced the army into launching an assault, he said, according to the Algerian agency, APS.
"An important number of" the suspected militants who seized hostages at the site on Wednesday were "neutralized" by ground forces during the assault, he said.
A spokesman for the militants said his group had been trying to transport some of the hostages to a more secure location but they were hit by Algerian airstrikes, according to the Mauritanian news agency ANI.
As of late Thursday, the battle between Algerian forces and militants continued, APS reported. Contradicting an earlier report that the raid had ended in full, the agency cited local officials as saying operations had been completed only at a living quarters at the facility, where most of the hostages had been held.
But a half mile away at the site--which satellite images and company photos reveal as a vast ochre-tinged plain, flanked by sand dunes and interrupted by the occasional tall metal crane and chimney--militants holding a smaller number of hostages were being surrounded by the army, APS reported.
U.S. officials couldn't confirm whether the operation was continuing. They said the U.S. military had deployed an unmanned drone over the gas field but that the images captured by the drone didn't provide a clear picture of the status of the hostages.
The attack also highlighted worries over a geopolitical risk that could threaten oil and gas operations. The attack shut down production of In Amenas, a major field which, at full capacity, could produce nine billion cubic meters of gas a year and 50,000 to 60,000 barrels a day of liquids.
Oil prices rose $1.25 to close at $95.49 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange on Thursday. Italian gas company Snam SpA said Thursday it has registered a drop of more than 13% in imports of gas from a pipeline coming from Algeria since the attack early Wednesday.
Risks to foreign energy companies operating in Algeria have improved since the 1990s civil war, but remain high, particularly along Algeria's coast. In contrast, the southern desert area where most of Algeria's oil- and gas-producing facilities are located are guarded by the Algerian army and security forces. This week's large-scale attacks marks a worrying break in peaceful operations there, said experts on the region.
Representatives from Statoil and BP said the companies had decided to bring employees home from other facilities in Algeria. Statoil's CEO said three flights will bring 40 employees home Thursday night.
BP officials declined to comment on the crisis late Thursday. Earlier in the day, it said it had been informed by the U.K. and Algerian governments of the raid but that it lacked reliable information and awaited updates from authorities.
Statoil Chief Executive Helge Lund said the company couldn't comment on the status of all 17 employees who were at In Amenas field and was worried about their well-being.
Into the night, families of Statoil hostages gathered at a hotel outside of Bergen on the Norwegian west coast, waiting for news. Mr. Lund had promised to come talk to them in the early afternoon Thursday. But the surprise attack delayed his plans.
Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, meanwhile, said four Norwegian hostages were safe outside the In Amenas facility, while nine remained unaccounted for.
Speaking during a press conference, Mr. Stoltenberg said he was informed by Algerian Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal at midday that military action was under way. Mr. Stoltenberg said he told Mr. Sellal that hostage safety was the top priority.
"The Algerian PM told me they had tried to find a solution during the night, but had not succeeded, so they had no other choice" than to attack, he said, adding that Algeria had had to make a tough decision.
The involvement of so many different foreign nationals had been expected to complicate efforts to quickly resolve the crisis, particularly given that Algeria has insisted it won't negotiate with the hostage-takers.
"Algeria has always condemned the payment of ransoms to terrorist groups, because that's a boost to the kidnapping industry," said Jean-Charles Brisard, a consultant specializing in terrorism.
Mr. Brisard said he had expected the Algerian army would act alone, despite so many other countries being involved. "The Algerian government is very much attached to its national sovereignty," he said. "The Algerians will settle it in their own way."

GNU Mach is the microkernel upon which a GNU Hurd system is based. It provides an Inter Process Communication (IPC) mechanism which the Hurd uses to define interfaces for implementing in a distributed multi-server fashion the services a traditional operating system kernel provides. Mach is particularly well-suited for SMP and network cluster techniques. Thread support is provided at the kernel level, and the kernel itself takes advantage of that. Network transparency at the IPC level makes resources of the system available across machine boundaries.
se is a screen-oriented version of the classic UNIX text editor ed. The editor implements many of the commands of ed, but instead of being line-oriented, se is screen-oriented. The command syntax is very familiar to users who already know ed. If you get stuck, there is a built-in help system that describes many of the available commands. Many configurable options can be loaded from a .serc file. se can be run interactively or in a script via the included scriptse utility. The editor is portable across many platforms, supporting major Linux and BSD distributions as well as other systems like GNU, Minix, Haiku, OpenSolaris, and Cygwin.
Libchop is a set of utilities and library for data backup and distributed storage. Its main application is chop-backup, an encrypted backup program that supports data integrity checks, versioning at little cost, distribution among several sites, selective sharing of stored data, adaptive compression, and more. The library itself, which chop-backup builds upon, implements storage techniques such as content-based addressing, content hash keys, Merkle trees, similarity detection, and lossless compression. It makes it easy to combine them in different ways. The 'chop-archiver' and 'chop-block-server' tools, illustrated in the manual, provide direct access to these facilities from the command line. It is written in C and has Guile (Scheme) bindings.

ESU Scholarship Run/Walk raises dollars for studentsApril 30, 2012
Nearly 150 runners and walkers were registered to hit the streets and sidewalks around the Emporia State University campus Thursday, April 26, helping raise money for student scholarships.
Ideal weather conditions graced the ESU Scholarship Run/Walk in memory of John Blaufuss, both a celebration of a respected ESU colleague's life and a chance to help meet the dreams of students whose education is dependent on scholarships.
Top finisher in the men's 5-kilometer race was William Hohmeier of Emporia. Hohmeier finished in a time of 16:52. Angie Indra, Emporia, was the top women's finisher at 22:27.
The event raised approximately $8,000 for scholarships, said Angela Fullen, ESU Foundation manager of annual giving.
"I'm very pleased with both the number of community and student participants we had, and by the response from local businesses who contributed products and services to make this a family-friendly event," Fullen said.

MONTREAL — Alain Amzallag is a genetic scientist, writer, painter and musician who has coped with bipolar affective disorder for almost 40 of his 63 years.
It is a disease that has allowed him to flourish as a scientist and an artist, Amzallag said.
His accomplishments include developing a general theory of cancer management that proved to be ahead of its time, and he has written seven books. The most recent, Reflections (Fondation littéraire Fleur de Lys), is a collection of essays, musings and poetry about his condition.
Bipolar disorder, formerly known as manic depression, has in the past plunged him into great depths of "anguish and anxiety," Amzallag said. He never contemplated suicide, but the darknesses were deep and long.
"Between the two, I preferred the hypomanic phase," admits the perfectly bilingual Amzallag, whose 2005 book, High, Flat, Down and Back Up Again! (AuthorHouse), was written as a "guide to manic-depressive illness."
Most of his books have appeared in both French and English.
"There have been many famous people who are said to have [been] bipolar," Amzallag said, "Churchill, Lincoln, van Gogh.
"You can tell immediately when you look at a van Gogh whether he was 'manic' when he painted it," Amzallag said. "Those are the ones I do not like at all because they show a crazy man."
Born in Morocco, Amzallag knew by age 13 that he wanted to be a scientist and by 14, after seeing an uncle die of lung cancer, that he wanted to find the "end of cancer." Ironically, he has never been able to quit smoking himself.
After graduating with an honours degree from McGill University in 1970, Amzallag was only 21 when he entered a PhD program at New York City's Cornell University Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Sloan-Kettering division.
The first hint of Amzallag's bipolar disorder showed itself in New York in the fall of 1973, after a "love betrayal" triggered a severe depression, he said.
But that was followed by a "vision" of an immunology-based cancer treatment that Amzallag said he recorded in 72 hours, without sleep or food, which culminated with his "losing touch with reality" and being hospitalized for an "acute schizoid" episode.
"There is this upsurge in mental energy, the thoughts on how you can benefit humanity in so many ways, but then there is the depression," he said.
"Nineteen seventy-four to 1976 was the worst period," Amzallag recalled. "It was like a steam-roller."
Amzallag considers himself luckier than many people living with a mental illness. He began to get better in 1981, he writes in his website (alainamzallag.com), "despite mood fluctuations of various intensities [including] hypomania, irritability and depression." He raised a family with four children – he is now divorced – and has held the same job for 20 years.
But lithium, the standard treatment for bipolar disorder, seriously damaged his kidneys and he now takes quetiapine instead. Amzallag said that his background as a scientist allows him to tweak his medication, so when he senses a hypomanic episode coming on, he can nip it in the bud.
Although his bipolar episodes continued until 2002, Amzallag has been able to write, paint and become a musician, and to take more control of his life by reaching out to others and trying to remove the stigma of mental illness. That was the main point in his writing Reflections and High, Flat, Down and Back Up Again! Amzallag, who has benefited from Cummings Jewish Centre for Seniors' mental health program, speaks periodically to Jewish audiences about his life and condition.
Asked if it has been worth it to have such wonderful creative abilities that are related to his mental illness, Amzallag is at a loss.
"I cannot answer that," he said. "Mania is so disruptive, and depression is anguish and anxiety.
"So is it worth it? I cannot tell you."

Third ESU Presidential Candidate to Visit CampusNovember 10, 2011
The third of four candidates selected as presidential finalists for Emporia State University will visit Emporia and the ESU campus Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 14-15.
The third finalist, Dr. Karla Hughes, and her husband, L. R. Hughes, will meet with campus and community groups on those days.
Hughes has been provost, vice president for academic affairs and tenured professor at Morehead State University (MSU) since July 2007, where she oversees an operating budget in excess of $80 million and leads 650 faculty and staff. After her arrival, she introduced initiatives that have recently resulted in an all-time-high total enrollment of 10,235 — a 16 percent increase. These initiatives included approval of an early college program, the first doctoral program in education, as well as authorizing design of a terminal degree program in nursing practice. She is also the chair of the Kentucky Public Universities Provosts' Council. Hughes earned bachelor's and master's degrees, both in Food and Nutrition, from Kansas State University.
More information about Hughes can be found on the Emporia State Presidential Search page or on the Board's website at the following links: kansasregents.org/esu_presidential_search_information or www.emporia.edu/presidential-search
A copy of the candidate's curriculum vitae may be obtained by sending an email request to firstname.lastname@example.com.
The ESU and Emporia area communities are invited and encouraged to meet the candidate at an open forum on Monday, Nov. 14 at 4 p.m. in Webb Hall in the Memorial Union on the ESU campus. A campus/community reception will immediately follow at the Webb Hall Foyer at approximately 5 p.m.
Feedback from the campus and community will be facilitated via an on-line survey. A link to the survey will be located on the ESU website homepage. The survey instrument will remain open until Sunday, November 27, 2011, 5:00 p.m. CST.
ESU President Dr. Michael R. Lane announced his resignation effective June 30, 2011, after serving the university since 2006. Shortly thereafter, the Board initiated the search process by selecting Deryl Wynn, attorney for McAnany, Van Cleave & Phillips P.A. and past member of the Kansas Board of Regents, to chair the search committee. In May, the Board selected the members of the search committee, composed of 18 individuals representing ESU constituencies, such as faculty, students, administration, staff, alumni/foundation, the Emporia community, and the Board of Regents.
"The campus will be impressed with the quality of candidates," said Wynn. "I'm especially pleased that we've been able to move the search process along at a quick pace and appreciate the flexibility to bring the candidates to campus sooner rather than later."
The date for the last (of four) presidential finalist's visit is Nov. 21 and 22. More details will be forthcoming.
The Search Committee will submit to the Board of Regents its candidate recommendations at the conclusion of the campus interviews. The Board hopes to name the 16th ESU president in December 2011.
Additional search details can be found on the ESU Presidential Search page on the Board's website at the following link: kansasregents.org/esu_presidential_search_information

China's Show Trial of the Century
Two months ago, the Chinese Communist Party purged Bo Xilai, a rising political star. The Bo affair has exposed widespread corruption and deepened fissures within the country's famously unified leadership. What do such scandals reveal about China's governance? How will they affect its upcoming leadership transition?
China's success in the next five years will depend largely on how well the government manages the tensions underlying its complex agenda. In particular, China's leaders will need to balance a muscular Communist Party, setting standards and protecting the public interest, with an empowered market, driving the economy into the future.
The preference of some countries to isolate themselves within their borders is anachronistic and self-defeating, but it would be a serious mistake for others, fearing contagion, to respond by imposing strict isolation. Even in states that have succumbed to reductionist discourses, much of the population has not.
When the Bretton Woods Agreement was hashed out in 1944, it was agreed that countries with current-account deficits should be able to limit temporarily purchases of goods from countries running surpluses. In the ensuing 73 years, the so-called "scarce-currency clause" has been largely forgotten; but it may be time to bring it back.
Republican leaders have a choice: they can either continue to collaborate with President Donald Trump, thereby courting disaster, or they can renounce him, finally putting their country's democracy ahead of loyalty to their party tribe. They are hardly the first politicians to face such a decision.
As the global economic recovery strengthens, and central banks move to raise interest rates, they need to improve their communication with the general public. To do that, they should follow the trail blazed by Donald Trump.
With talks on the UK's withdrawal from the EU stalled, negotiators should shift to the temporary "transition" Prime Minister Theresa May officially requested last month. Above all, the negotiators should focus immediately on the British budget contributions that will be required to make an orderly transition possible.
In recent decades, as President Vladimir Putin has entrenched his authority, Russia has seemed to be moving backward socially and economically. But while the Kremlin knows that it must reverse this trajectory, genuine reform would be incompatible with the kleptocratic character of Putin's regime.
Global Bookmark:
Distinguished thinkers review the world's most important new books on politics, economics, and international affairs.
As a part of their efforts to roll back the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, congressional Republicans have approved a measure that would have courts, rather than regulators, oversee megabank bankruptcies. It is now up to the Trump administration to decide if it wants to set the stage for a repeat of the Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008.

Opiate Pain Relievers for Acute Neck Pain
Opiates are also called opioids or narcotics.
Opiates are sometimes combined with other medicines. For example, Percocet is oxycodone combined with acetaminophen.
How It Works
Opiate medicines relieve pain by altering the way you feel pain.
Why It Is Used
Opiates are recommended only for short-term treatment of severe, sudden (acute) neck pain.
Because these medicines are potentially addictive, they are usually prescribed for a limited time (1 to 2 weeks).
How Well It Works
Using opiate medicines to treat neck pain is not well studied.1
When a opiate does relieve pain, it becomes less effective over time. The body becomes more tolerant of opiate medicine, and then a normal opiate dosage provides less effective pain relief.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Opiate pain relievers are strong medicines that can be very helpful in treating pain, especially after an injury or surgery. They are safest when you use them exactly as your doctor prescribes. But there is a risk of addiction when you take them for more than a few days. The risk is lower if you follow your doctor's instructions on how to take them. Your risk is slightly higher if you or someone in your family has a history of substance abuse. If you are worried about addiction, talk with your doctor.
Some of these medicines have acetaminophen in them. Check the labels on all the other nonprescription and prescription medicines you take. Many medicines contain acetaminophen. Do not take two or more medicines that have acetaminophen in them unless your doctor has told you to. Taking too much acetaminophen can be harmful. If you have questions about this, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Opiates may be considered if other medicines and treatments have not controlled your pain or are not safe for you. To make this decision, you and your doctor may talk about:
Dry mouth is common with these medicines. To help with dry mouth, you can chew sugarless gum, suck on sugarless candy, or melt ice in your mouth. If you continue to have problems with dry mouth after a couple of weeks, call your doctor. Dry mouth can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Gas is cheaper than it has been since the start of W's second term. Mission accomplished!
And yet…cars don't seem to have the same old charm. Maybe it's the sunny winter days or the death-stink emanating from Detroit, but we're finding other ways to get around. Santa Fe City Councilor Patti Bushee, who chairs the city's Bicycle and Trails Advisory Committee, says she has seen more interest in cycling now than at any time in her 15-year Council career.
In the past, she says, "You could count on a few people showing up in their helmets and with their pants tucked into their socks." This year, Bushee says, roughly 70 people crammed into a small room just to stand through one of her committee meetings. Cycling is "really taking off," she says.
Daily bike commuters report seeing more full bike racks and fellow pedalers on the road. Their sometimes-idiotic behavior—like riding down streets in the wrong direction or at night without lights—is characteristic of newbies.
Nobody's tracking local ridership systematically, but there's evidence that cycling is more than a post-oil-shock fad.
New bike sales at rob and charlie's have entered a seasonal slump, but more people are coming in for repairs, suggesting that the appeal of a cheap ride hasn't fallen along with gas prices.
The city has made some accommodations for cyclists. You probably noticed the "sharrows"—a California import that marks bike-friendly routes—painted on some streets. Several of the Public Works Department's dozen bike-ped projects are nearing completion. And good luck finding a remaining copy of the city's bike trail map, updated at long last this year.
But is the city doing enough? Not according to those who "share the road" on a daily basis.
"Santa Fe's better, but it's got a long ways to go," Dan Baker, an activist with the Bicycle Coalition of New Mexico, says. "In any other town—Boulder, Portland, even Chicago—they realize the young, yuppie-biker-professional person is a whole class in itself. Here, they just don't really want 'em. If you're not buying artwork, you don't have enough money."
Baker knows whining can be counterproductive. On the other hand, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. So let's indulge some gripes.
Take the mostly finished Rail Trail. It's a pleasant ride that provides a much-needed out-of-traffic route running north to south. It is not, however, the backbone to a seamless alternative-transportation network envisioned by city planners.
"I think a lot of people are wondering, 'What is the plan, and where will I be able to get on and off the trail?'" Baker says. "In its typical fashion, the city is still missing very inexpensive short connectors to the trail."
The easiest access points are where the trail intersects with major streets. These are few and far between, and can be dicey.
For example, the Rail Trail meets the existing Arroyo De Los Chamisos Trail—which runs south to Rodeo Road—at St. Michael's Drive. Anyone who has attempted the crossing at St. Michael's knows to look both ways—or else.
What can be done about a major highway severing two pedestrian trails? The bureaucratic response is not encouraging.
Leroy Pacheco, the city traffic engineer in charge of trails, says the St. Michael's crossing is the New Mexico Department of Transportation's responsibility. And DOT engineer Paul Lindberg would rather not say whether the crossing is adequate.
"I was building what was in the plans," he says. The plans didn't include pedestrian signals.
Stephen Newhall crosses St. Michael's every day and reports no problems. Newhall, however, is an experienced cyclist who commutes well after rush hour, and he worries less-experienced riders may run into trouble.
Worse yet is the nasty intersection at St. Francis Drive and Cerrillos Road, near the Railyard—which Bushee sees as the possible base for a bike-share program.
The intersection is stressful enough in a car. On two wheels, it feels like auditioning for the role of Street Pizza in an episode of House, MD.
The fix? A long-discussed bike and pedestrian overpass at St. Francis—maybe.
Though the planned Acequia Trail, running west of St. Francis behind the New Mexico School for the Deaf, could be finished by summer, the proposed multimillion-dollar overpass is years away.
Bushee says city engineers are moving ahead too quickly with the overpass. "I think it was a bit premature in letting contracts for design go out," Bushee says. "It's not really clear that that's got 100 percent support in the community."
Judging by a Baca-Sierra Vista Neighborhood Association meeting last week, a vocal minority is opposed to any overpass.
But Councilor Miguel Chavez defends the projects on the grounds that the city has failed to spend enough for cyclists and pedestrians. "Let's not do anything too fast, heaven forbid," Chavez says, mocking Bushee's concerns. "It's either going to be too fast or too slow for Councilor Bushee."
Either way, slow going beats stuck in traffic.
More fun than actually commuting!

Emporia State works to bolster enrollmentSeptember 27, 2011
Fall enrollment at Emporia State University is down 4.6 percent from the same time in 2010. ESU officials are confident that new endeavors put in place during the last year will bolster university enrollment.
In 20th-day enrollment figures sent to the Kansas Board of Regents, ESU reported 3,845 undergraduate and 2,131 graduate students for a total enrollment of 5,976. This is down 286 students from the 6,262 students reported enrolled on the 20th day of classes in Fall 2010. Of the Fall 2011 total, 4,157 were enrolled on the Emporia State campus. The remaining 1,819 were enrolled in off-campus sites.
There are bright spots in the enrollment numbers for ESU:
- The university is up 5.7 percent in first-time freshmen from its designated 11-county regional area, a trend that continues from last year when ESU was up 2.4 percent.
- ESU is also up 2.3 percent from last fall in the number of new start full-time transfer students.
- All applications to the university — undergraduate, graduate and transfer — are up 9 percent over last year.
- Enrollment in Internet-based, online courses hit an all-time high in Fall 2011 with increases of 3.1 percent in head count and 14.2 percent in credit hours.
In January, Emporia State unveiled a new campaign, Empowered by E — Engaging Excellence, that focused on ESU's quality, affordability and personal attention by faculty as major benefits of attending the regional university.
Initially launched as a branding and image-building campaign, Empowered by E was officially rolled out this month to prospective graduate, undergraduate and transfer students with redesigned viewbooks and recruitment materials.
The university also launched a new, intensive student retention effort that involves faculty, staff and current students. The retention effort includes a revamped early alert advising system for identifying students who may be struggling in their classes. At the same time, the university provides these students with campus resources to improve their academic performance. The plan also includes an enhanced advising system that further leads to student success.
Emporia State is one of seven public universities overseen by the Kansas Board of Regents. ESU is ranked in the first tier of Midwest Regional Universities in the 2012 edition of "Best Colleges" published by U.S. News and World Report.
Founded in 1863 as Kansas State Normal — the state's premier institution to educate teachers — Emporia State University offers 42 undergraduate and 27 graduate degrees in the School of Business, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, School of Library and Information Management and The Teachers College. SLIM also offers a Ph.D. program.
