Donating Manuscripts
Preserving Indiana's History
You are the key to preserving Indiana's history and culture and you can help us preserve it. Far too often historical treasures are mistaken for trash and thrown out, or left to sit in hot attics and damp garages. The Manuscript Section of the Indiana State Library will use archival appraisal methods to select materials for preservation that will provide research opportunities for future generations. You can make it happen by donating your items to the Indiana State Library.
Donating to the Manuscript Section
The Manuscript Section collects and preserves original materials related to Indiana's people, places and events. Collections that reflect aspects of Indiana life are most desirable. The Manuscript section does not collect materials that focus on non Hoosier events except those that deal with a Hoosier's experiences in that event.
People considering donating their own or their family's papers, or seeking a home for records of organizations to which they belong, may have many questions. The questions vary with each collection, depending on its content, ownership, condition, and location, but some of the most common concerns, and our answers, are listed below.
- What is the Manuscript Section of the Indiana State Library?
- What would the Manuscript Section like?
- Why would you want my papers?
- Why should I donate them?
- Can I loan them instead of give them?
- What will you do with them?
- Can their use be restricted?
- What is copyright and why does it matter?
- Will I still have rights to my donated items?
- Will they be safe?
- Can I take a tax deduction?
- Can you tell me how much they are worth?
- How will I get them to the library?
- Do I have to organize them first?
- Will you keep everything?
- Can I have them back?
- Is there a charge?
- How can I contact you?
What is the Manuscript Section of the Indiana State Library?
The Manuscript Section houses the manuscript, picture, broadside, program, and oral history collections of the Indiana State Library . We strive to provide our patrons with a wide range of documentation for research use. Our clientele include students, scholars, journalists, genealogists, state agencies, and the general public. We are always eager to add to our holdings, with materials both historical and contemporary in nature.
What would the Manuscript Section like?
The following are types of materials that we collect, but are not limited to:
Manuscript and Archival Materials
• Business records (inactive)
• Correspondence
• Diaries and journals
• Memoirs and scrapbooks
• Speeches and lectures
• Oral histories
• Organizational records (inactive)
• Professional, personal, and family papers (not stand alone genealogies)
Visual Materials
• Tintypes and daguerreotypes
• Lithographs
• Photographs
• Postcards
• Posters and other broadsides
• Sketches
• Glass plate negatives
• Lantern slides
We are committed to documenting as fully as possible the history of our state and its people in all their diversity. The strength of our holdings adds to the reputation of the Indiana State Library as a major research institution. Your papers may contribute another unique piece to the history of the state of Indiana.
The Manuscript Section offers both a secure environment and a professional staff to process and provide reference to your papers. Also, since they would be housed in the Indiana State Library they would be located with related collections and useful secondary sources, which would enhance their research value. They will be in an institution that will make them available to a wide audience so they can be utilized for years to come.
Can I loan them instead of give them?
No. The Indiana State Library cannot invest public resources, including staff time, supplies, and space, to processing, housing, and providing reference to materials that do not belong to the Library.
The collection will be accessioned shortly after it is received and a deed of gift has been signed. Accessioning involves reboxing and preparing a preliminary inventory of the contents of the collection, as well as identifying any items that need any special care or attention. The collection will be further processed based on its condition and size and a finding aid will be prepared. Finally, it will be cataloged and the record will go into the Library's online catalog.
If a collection includes sensitive materials it may be restricted for a period of time. However, there must be an end date when the restriction will be lifted so the materials can be used by researchers.
What is copyright and why does it matter?
Copyright refers to ownership of the contents of a document rather than the ownership of the physical item itself, and resides with the creator of the document unless they have legally transferred it to another person or institution. When you donate materials to the Manuscript Section of the Indiana State Library a deed of gift form is signed transferring any copyrights you hold to the Library, with the exception of copyrights to published works from which you may still derive income.
Copyright is important in terms of making documents fully available to researchers to quote from or publish. It should also be noted that copyright law is subject to change.
Will I still have rights to my donated items?
You will be relinquishing your rights of ownership and copyright, but will have the same right to use the materials that everyone else enjoys.
Yes. The Manuscript collections are stored in a temperature controlled locked vault which is only accessible to Library staff. While we are eager to make our holdings available to researchers, they are used only in the Manuscript Reading Room under staff supervision. All researchers must present photo identification, complete various forms, and state their research topics before being given research materials. They must abide by the rules governing use.
Tax law is subject to change, but it may be possible for you to take a deduction for materials that are not self created. Consult your tax accountant and refer to IRS publications 526 and 561 and form 8283.
Can you tell me how much they are worth?
No. The Indiana State Library cannot legally perform appraisals for tax purposes due to potential conflict of interest. You may wish to consult with a professional appraiser, as indicated on IRS from 8283.
How will I get them to the library?
Materials may be sent through the U.S. mail or via UPS. In some cases Manuscript Section staff will go and pack and transport collections.
Do I have to organize them first?
If you wish to pull out duplicate items or extraneous materials please do so. However, we prefer to make the final decision on what to keep so that we can evaluate items within the context of the entire collections and our other holdings.
We will not retain several duplicates. Some published materials that may be more appropriately housed in the reference area of the library will be transferred there. Also, anything considered to be an artifact would be transferred to the Indiana State Museum. Some items may be photocopied and the originals disposed of.
If you wish to have us return duplicate or inappropriate items or those we do not retain in their original form, you may stipulate in the deed of gift form that they be offered back to you at the time we are ready to dispose of them.
No, there is no charge to the donor for processing or storage. We do, however, gladly accept donations to our gift fund.
There are several ways to contact the Manuscript Section. You can use the phone number or address listed at the bottom of the page, or you can contact the Library by using the Ask a Librarian feature.

Theatre to show off talents with short plays, musical numbers
Wayland Baptist University students will put their talents on display during five performances of Shorts and the City in coming weekends.
The production features five short plays, interspersed with musical numbers from Broadway musicals both old and new. Theatre students serve as directors, actors, set designers and technical crew for the production, with theatre director Dr. Marti Runnels overseeing the effort. Senior theatre major Tisa Whitfill will be directing the musical portions of the production as her practicum project.
The five short plays include Time Out by Ken Dashow, directed by senior Lori Stanley. The comic play involves a basketball game in which a typical bench-rider waits for his big chance to get in the game. Actors include Chris Moore, Richard Conner and Billy Boone.
The second feature is Sunday Go to Meetin' by Shirley Lauro, directed by senior Brandon Campanella. This drama involves two girls who skip church on Sunday to visit a Jewish woman selling apples. Actors include Jennifer Rutherford, Milea Simpson and Liz Smith.
Directed by Tisa Whitfill, E. H. Wasserman's Outlaws is a comedy about two groups of Old West outlaws involved in a battle of smarts to get the loot. Actors involved are Teresa Moore, Richard Conner, Israel Cansino, Cim Lattin and Lori Stanley.
Desi Pharis will direct Two-Part Invention by Michael Hollinger, a comedy about a salesman trying to convince another man to purchase his new product. Actors include Brandon Campanella and Jason DeGray.
The final play is Downtown by Jeffrey Hatcher, directed by Teresa Moore. This comic piece deals with three aspiring artists who are quick to criticize other artists but who are themselves struggling to make it big. Actors involved are Patrick Whitfill, Desi Pharis and Jennifer Riley.
Musical numbers will be presented between plays. Featured songs are "Another Hundred People" from Company, performed by the full company; "Razzle Dazzle" from Chicago; "Brotherhood of Man" from How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying; "Old Fashion Wedding" from Annie Get Your Gun; "Stepsisters Lament" from Cinderella; and "Heart" from Damn Yankees.
Shorts and the City will be performed at 8 p.m. on Nov. 15, 16, 21, 22 and 23 in Harral Studio Theatre on the Plainview campus. Admission is $8 for adults and $4 for students. Individuals bringing a grocery sack of non-perishable foods to be donated to Faith in Sharing House will receive half-price admission.
The Nov. 23 performance will feature former Wayland students performing numbers from past WBU musicals, in conjunction with other Wayland homecoming activities. Admission during homecoming is $4 for alumni.
To make reservations for the production, contact the box office at 291-1089.

From Polypusher Studios comes Montague's Mount, a first person psychological rollercoaster ride through isolation, desolation and one man's tortured mind all set against the bleakness of an isolated Irish island. As the mixture of cold Atlantic water and course sand in your mouth brings you back from unconsciousness. The wreckage of a boat's hull that surrounds you, leads you to a solitary assumption; your vessel has been torn apart by the submerged rocks. The secrets of the island must be uncovered if you are ever going to find a way off. Where is everyone; is the island really uninhabited; what is lurking within the isolated caves; and what is that building on top of Montague's Mount? Coming soon for PC, Mac and Linux. Montague's Mount's story is set against the desolate and rugged scenery of Ireland. The Irish language (Gaeilge) is used extensively throughout Montague's Mount.

South Dakota Erases Big Deficit, But Still Loses at Fort Wayne
South Dakota dug itself a big first half hole, rallied for a second half lead, but for the sixth straight time, lost a Summit League game, 75-69 at Fort Wayne.
After trailing by as many as 18 in the first half, USD came charging back in the second half, keyed by Trevor Gruis and Karim Rowson, Gruis with 10 of his 14 in the second half, Rowson with 9 of his 15, as the Coyotes opened the half hitting 11-of-16, to go on a 20-6 run and take a four point lead with 13 minutes left.
With the game tied at 48 with eight minutes left, Mo Evans heated up for the Mastodons, hitting back-to-back 3-pointers to put Fort Wayne back up six.
USD would trim it to three with three minutes left, but the Mastodons grabbed just about every offensive rebound down the stretch, pushing the lead to nine 90 seconds later, and hanging on to win by six.
Neither team shot the ball well in the first half - Fort Wayne hit 36 percent, USD just 29 percent - but the Mastodons led by as many as 18 on the strength of five 3-pointers, 12 points off of eight Coyote turnovers, and runs of 6-0, 5-0, and 10-0 to lead 32-20 at the break.
Gruis had eight rebounds and seven blocked shots to go with his 14 points. Evans led IPFW with 17 points.
USD actually outshot Fort Wayne 47 percent to 38 percent, but the Mastodons made up for it at the free throw line, taking advantage of Coyote fouls to attempt 34 free throws, making 24, while USD was 12-of-17 from the line.
South Dakota (9-15/3-6) plays at IUPUI Saturday at 1:00pm CST.

NBC's Domenico Montanaro and Republican strategist John Brabender discuss with MSNBC's Chris Jansing what President Obama has to do with his speech this week at the Democratic National Convention.
The Democratic convention and trying to close the enthusiasm gap… Tonight's speaking lineup is a nod to important blocs of the Obama coalition… Michelle Obama's moment (she speaks around 10:30 pm ET)… Julian Castro's moment, too (his keynote address comes after 10:00 pm)… Looking at the Dems' three major objectives for the convention… Breaking down tonight's speakers… And GOP continues its counterprogramming in Charlotte.
In Charlotte, N.C., Michelle Obama is gearing up to speak at the first night of the Democratic National Convention, touting the president's record on women's issues amidst criticism from the Republican campaign over the state of the economy. NBC's Chuck Todd reports.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- If there's a theme to tonight's speaking lineup here at the first day of the Democratic convention, it's a nod to all the important voting and demographic blocs of the Obama coalition. Women? You have First Lady Michelle Obama, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and Lilly Ledbetter. Latinos? Keynote speaker Julian Castro and Rep. Xavier Becerra. African Americans? The first lady and Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx. Why is tonight's coalition night so important for Democrats? Because they are facing an enthusiasm gap -- at least compared to 2008 -- with these voting blocs. In the Aug. 2012 NBC/WSJ poll, just 52% of voters under 35 and only 49% of Latinos expressed high interest in the upcoming election, which was down about 20 points for both groups at this same point in '08. That said, almost all voting segments in the poll -- Democrats and Republicans alike -- aren't as interested as they were in 2008. So this is the opportunity that the Democratic convention represents for the Obama camp and Democrats: maybe a final chance to rekindle some of the 2008 magic. If Mitt Romney had to close his likeability gap at last week's GOP convention, Barack Obama and the Democrats this week have to close the enthusiasm gap.
*** Fired up? Ready to go? Obama campaign officials say their voters are getting more excited (example: the 13,000 who turned out in Colorado over the weekend) and believe that 65,000 supporters filling the Bank of America Stadium on Thursday will reflect plenty of energy heading into November -- assuming, of course, that the weather cooperates that night. (Per NBC's Andrea Mitchell, the Obama campaign is telling reporters that Thursday night at the football stadium will happen, rain or shine, unless there is a last-minute safety issue.) "You'll see for sure enthusiasm coming out of the convention," one official told First Read. Enough to propel Obama to victory in two months? We'll find out…
Jessica Rinaldi / Reuters
Women listen as Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick speaks at CarolinaFest ahead of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina September 3, 2012.
*** Michelle's moment: Tonight's two major primetimes speakers are First Lady Michelle Obama and San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro. The Obama campaign says that the first lady will serve as a character witness for President Obama, describing the tough decisions that her husband has made. The AP also notes how Michelle Obama has been perhaps her husband's biggest defender on the campaign trail, as well as someone who has drawn contrasts with Mitt Romney, although without mentioning the GOP nominee's name. "These days, Mrs. Obama's speeches are peppered with references to the president's upbringing in Hawaii, where he was raised by a single mother and his grandparents. She talks about the student loans he took out to pay for college and the years it took to pay them back." And there isn't a more popular Obama – the first lady's fav/unfav rating in the July NBC/WSJ poll was 54%-26% (versus her husband's 49%-43%).
*** Castro's moment: Prior to the first lady's appearance, Castro will step up to one of the most prominent speaking slots in American politics when he delivers the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention tonight. The 37-year-old Harvard Law and Stanford grad will be the first Latino to deliver the address. He's largely unknown to a national audience, but he has shown an ability to deliver a strong speech that draws on his compelling personal story. The Obama campaign has watched Castro closely, made him a campaign co-chairman, and says he has been effective on the campaign trail for the president. In our August NBC/WSJ poll, Obama was leading Romney among Latinos, 63%-28%. But as mentioned above, just 49% of Latino voters were expressing a high level of interest in the upcoming election (compared with 82% for African Americans, 68% for whites, and 84% for seniors). By the way, the last time a Texas Democrat gave the keynote was Ann Richards – and the Democratic Party is hoping that, one day, Castro might win statewide office in the Lone Star State.
*** The Democrats' three objectives: In a briefing yesterday with NBC, Obama campaign officials said that the convention has three objectives. One, to present the economic choice between the Obama and Romney visions. Two, to paint where the country is today vs. where it had been, highlighting the tough decisions Obama made (like on health care and the auto bailout). And three, to make the case where the country goes from here.
*** Tuesday's convention schedule: Below are some of the major speakers for the first evening of the Democratic convention here in Charlotte, which gets gaveled in at 5:00 pm ET.
7:00 pm hour: Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Joe Kennedy III (whose speech is tied to a video tribute to the Kennedy family)
8:00 pm hour: Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak, Rep. Jared Polis, House candidate Tammy Duckworth, Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chaffee (I), House Leader James Clyburn, and Rep. Xavier Becerra
9:00 pm hour: Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, actor Kal Penn, Obama half-sister Maya Soetoro-Ng and brother-in-law Craig Robinson, Lilly Ledbetter, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick
10:00 pm hour: Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, First Lady Michelle Obama
*** On the trail today: Obama campaigns in Norfolk, VA at 12:35 pm ET… Paul Ryan stumps in Westlake, OH at 12:20 pm ET and Cedar Rapids at 5:10 pm ET
*** GOP counterprogramming: At 1:00 pm ET in Charlotte, Republicans Nikki Haley, John Sununu, Jason Chaffetz, and Tim Scott hold a press conference to counter today's activities at the Dem convention. Meanwhile, after yesterday's back-and-forth over "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" the Romney camp is pouncing on an interview that Obama gave to a Colorado Springs affiliate, in which gave himself an "incomplete" grade on the economy. Obama added in his response, "What I would say is the steps we've taken in saving the auto industry, in making sure that college is more affordable, and investing in clean energy and science … those are all of the things that we're going to need to grow over the long term."

As always, a huge crowd watches the event that starts when the ball drops off a bridge just east of Mullan at 12:00 PM. The Wallace Gyro Club sells chances on the time it takes for the ball to make it's seven mile journey to the Sixth Street bridge in Wallace. The money raised through ticket sales and bike ride registration goes to the Gyro Scholarship Fund which awards scholarships to local high school students for college or vocational school.
Lead Creek Derby route
Lead Creek Derby start
Wednesday, June 13, 2018, is Gyro Radio Day on 620am KWAL from 11 AM to 6 PM. The Gyros will be great fun to listen to, or bet ter still, drop by the station in Osburn, say hello, buy some Derby tickets and enjoy a free BBQ.
Gyro Days begins for the kids on the Thursday before the Saturday Derby with the arrival of a Carnival in downtown Wallace! Last year's concessionaire returns with more rides for all ages and an expanded midway arcade. The Carnival starts at 4 PM on Thursday and at 11 AM on Friday and Saturday.

Until recently, part of Saturday's fun, as the crowd followed the ball downstream, was the traditional, but NOT SANCTIONED, Hill Climb Daredevil Contest on the steep Morning District tailings, and the Mud Bog Races. This latter event was one of the strangest "sports" I have ever seen! Picture high powered rigs racing across a mud pit trying not to stall while making as big a mess as possible. Alcohol usually contributed to extracurricular events such as spectator mud wrestling. This spectacle was not for the faint-hearted... or forever, as it turned out.
Five years ago (1999), two stupid people in a jeep did the Hill Climb drunk and without seat belts. When they hurt themselves, they had the gall to sue the mining company on whose land they were playing. Since then, the mining company has quite rightly said "No Trespassing." This has had a calming effect on the festival, which may have grown a little too crazy after six decades of celebration. Also by 1999, it seemed as if people were coming to Wallace on Gyro Days to settle scores they didn't dare settle in their hometowns. Too many visitors were having prearranged fistfights in our streets; there was too much "Wild West" action even for Wallace. So we kept the festival, but worked to change its mood.
In bygone decades, Gyro Day meant a procession of families in carriages from Mullan to Wallace, stopping at a score of places as they chased the ball downstream for three to five hours. It was a kid oriented traveling picnic! In the last year (2003), the Rails-to-Trails project known as The Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes has been completed. The paved bike path runs from Mullan to Wallace, and then continues for another 66 miles through the Silver Valley and chain lakes region, along and then over Lake Coeur d'Alene to end in Plummer. I am hopeful that this development will greatly accelerate the trend in recent years for people to follow the Gyro ball on bikes rather than in cars. The Derby is becoming kid-friendly once again.
Lead Creek Derby 1994
This part never changes.
Daredevil Hill Climb 1994
This tradition had no seatbelt.
Mud Bog Race 1994
This tradition got too messy.
Party in the Street 1994
This tradition remains in effect... just stay cool and enjoy the summer!

Cockroaches are able to hold their breath for up to 40 minutes, why they do this is unknown, although it is thought that it may be to save water. They are also one of our planets great survivors and cockroaches have been around since the dinosaurs and they will most probably out live all us too.
Cockroaches are amphibious and when threatened they will run into water. There is also more to cockroaches than we may think, they are one of the most adaptable creatures that exist worldwide apart from the Polar regions and in elevations above 2,000 meters.

After leaving the Ravens news conference Tuesday afternoon, major concerns still remain about the team's poor secondary.
There was a search for a nugget, something to suggest that this team was going to get better. But the best that general manager Ozzie Newsome could do was talk about the return of cornerback Jimmy Smith from injury.
''As we look at it now, getting Jimmy back healthy [foot injury] is going to be very big for us. That's a good start," Newsome said. "Having Lardarius [Webb] go through a season where he's not rehabbing, he's just getting himself ready to play, and because of the injuries, we were able to pick up Rashaan [Melvin] and...

I'm working on my second halfpipe and after doing a ton of research and building a couple my self I'd like to add a couple steps to the plans on this site.
Bolt the flatbottom and transitions together. Galvanized is best, espically if you're using treated wood. You'll notice some movement between the pieces if there's only plywood holding the flat and tranny together. I used a couple long screws on my first ramp but when other people rode the ramp I could still see the transition flexing seperate form the flat bottom. Use bolts.
Double up the 2x4's in the tranny where the first layer of plywood meets. It add strength to the transition where a lot of stress is placed and makes the plywood seams stronger.
Build the transitions in 4 or 6 foot sections This is optional but you'll feel a lot less flex and the ramp will be much more solid. Probably not a big deal in this case since you used 2x6's instead of 2x4's and its less than 3' tall.
Attaching the coping use L bolts and there's no need to drill a hole in the top of the coping only underneath, these are the L shaped bolts that are set in concrete founations and can be found at HD and lowes.
Turn the flat bottom so the boards run 90 deg. This is also optional but it makes sense, you'll feel any variations in the flat bottom boards a lot less if you skate them longways. Also makes it easier to bolt to the tranny.

The Lady Bisons swept the match 3-0, extending their streak of set wins to 21. They won 25-19, 25-18 and 25-18 against Kennesaw State.
"Kennesaw State did some nice stuff," said Lady Bisons coach Brandon Rosenthal. "At certain points it was really hard for us to put away a ball.
"We are going to see everybody's best every time. It's a hard thing to handle. But the truth of the matter is we have put ourselves into that situation."
One of the keys for the Lady Bisons is despite the number of points scored by Kennesaw State in each set they never were able to take the lead.
"We might have given up a couple of more points than we have in the past, but I think being in control is always the biggest thing," said Rosenthal. "We had the lead and we held the lead in each set."
Freshman outside hitter Kaycee Green made a match-high 13 kills and also added a match-high four service aces. She posted a .478 hitting percentage.
Junior outside hitter Alex Kelly made 10 kills, and also was credited with a match-high 13 digs.
"I thought Kaycee did well," said Rosenthal. "Kaycee's big thing is understanding what we need to get done. Sometimes a freshman will come in and try to do too much.
"We want them to play our brand of volleyball. We don't want them to get caught up with trying to do too much. When you try to do too much all of a sudden you can play into the other team's hands."
Green set new personal season highs for kills and hitting percentage. She also set a new team high for service aces in a three-set match.
"Kaycee is one of those gamers," said Rosenthal. "We have been trying to push her to bring that approach to practice every day," said Rosenthal. "As the year goes on she is going to get stronger. She is always going to have those long arms but she is going to put on more muscle.
"She has a great attitude. Day-in and day-out she is trying to figure out where she fits in. There is a level they are expected to live up to every day as freshmen and this tough."
Asjia Stokes led Kennesaw State with 11 kills. Chelsey Densha led the team in digs with 11.
The Lady Bisons are 10-3, 7-0 in the A-Sun. Kennesaw State is 7-6, 2-4 in the conference.
"It wasn't our best weekend by any means, but we won," said Rosenthal. "I told the players after the match that they have to walk out of here and be happy.
"Our hard work is definitely paying off. We can't lose sight of that. Every conference win is a good win."
The Lady Bisons are back home in Allen Arena to play Evansville in a non-conference match Tuesday night at 6:30.
"This is a new opponent we really don't know a lot about it," said Rosenthal. "It is a non-conference game where we can play a little looser. But it is tough because we have to turn around and go right back into conference play."

Lady Falcs get clipped at state
- Written by Don Mann
The Woodinville fastpitch girls, undefeated, undaunted and top-ranked, traveled to Spokane for the state tournament and won two straight on Friday to play in the big games on Saturday.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the state championship: Falcon pitching ace Madi Schreyer served up two homers — one to the leadoff batter — in the first inning as Marysville-Pilchuck, no slouch at 20-1 coming in, put five runs on the board in the 9 a.m. semifinal.
Woodinville, not accustomed to being down, would not recover and lost 7-2.
End of the dream for the green team. Bummer.
To their credit the Lady Falcons sucked it up and battled back to earn a 3rd-place trophy, defeating Jackson 4-3 and then walloping Skyview 13-4.
But Woodinville, who had it all in terms of talent and depth, had to bite hard at the outcome.
"We had a bad inning," coach Mark Leander said of the Pilchuck game.
"We kicked a couple balls and we're down 5-0 right away. Not characteristic. Plus we didn't hit it very well. It was a tough way to go."
Lauren Burchak belted a grand-slam in the ninth inning of the second game, and Katie Engelbrecht delivered the same in the finale--her last high school at-bat.
Woodinville finished 25-1.

WARREN, Mich. - The foreclosure crisis has forced the city of Warren to tear down hundreds of vacant homes.
The city has had to maintain the lots where the homes once stood. That includes taking care of weeds, high grass and garbage.
Now, Warren Mayor Jim Fouts said the city is selling the properties for dirt cheap to adjacent property owners.
"The residents, for the small price of $1, can get this property," he said. "The only thing that they are precluded from doing is they cannot develop it as another home."
Fouts credits City Council for initiating the idea.
"There is just vacant city odd-lots that are too small to build on. They are just awkward little lots adjacent to homeowners that are just city-owned. They city pays to maintain them," said City Council member Kelly Coglio.
Coglio already has helped turn one lot into a community garden which is operated by Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church. The seeds were planted last June and offered a bountiful harvest which helped the church feed the needy.
"Now we can also include fresh vegetables which are really a great source of nutrition, as you know," said Rev. Roger Facione, of Mt. Calvary.
Resident Erin Southerland also wants a community garden in her neighborhood.
"My plan is for all the little kids in the neighborhood to get their own pumpkin plant so they can grow their own pumpkins," she said.
Homeowners also are allowed to buy the adjacent lots simply to extend the size of their yards.
The city has a list of the available properties. Fouts said people acquiring the lots would have to pay property taxes which is roughly $50 each year.
At $1 per lot, Fouts hopes to see plenty of buyers.
"If two neighbors want it they can split the lot," he said.
The city is compiling a list of eligible property owners.

Can HIV be transformed into a biotechnological tool for improving human health?
According to a CNRS team at the Architecture et Réactivité de l'ARN (RNA Architecture and Reactivity) laboratory, the answer is yes. Taking advantage of the HIV replication machinery, the researchers have been able to select a specific mutant protein. Added to a culture of tumor cells in combination with an anticancer drug, this protein improves the effectiveness of the treatment at 1/300 the normal dosage levels. Published in PLoS Genetics on 23 August 2012, these findings could lead to long-term therapeutic applications in the treatment of cancer and other pathologies.
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes AIDS, uses human cell material to multiply, primarily by inserting its genetic material into the host cells' genome (see illustration below). The distinctive characteristic of HIV is that it mutates constantly, and consequently generates several mutant proteins (or variants) in the course of its successive multiplications. This phenomenon allows the virus to adapt to repeated environmental changes and resist the antiviral treatments that have been developed so far.
At the IBMC (Institut de Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire) in Strasbourg, the researchers of the CNRS Architecture et Réactivité de l'ARN laboratory had the idea of using this multiplication strategy to rechannel the effects of the virus for therapeutic purposes, in particular the treatment of cancer.
They first altered the HIV genome by introducing a human gene that is found in all cells: the gene for deoxycytidine kinase (dCK), a protein that activates anticancer drugs. Researchers have been trying to produce a more effective form of dCK for several years. Through HIV multiplication, the CNRS team has selected a "library" of nearly 80 mutant proteins and tested them on tumor cells in the presence of an anticancer drug. The results have enabled them to identify a dCK variant that is more effective than the wild-type (non-mutated) protein, inducing the death of tumor cells in culture. In combination with this protein, the anticancer drugs showed identical effectiveness at 1/300 the dose. The possibility of reducing the doses of anticancer drugs would palliate the problems posed by their components' toxicity, reduce their side effects and, most importantly, improve their effectiveness.
One advantage of this experimental technique is that the mutant proteins were tested directly on cells in culture. The next step in the years to come will be preclinical (animal) studies on the isolated mutant protein. In addition, this experimental system using a normally life-threatening virus is likely to lead to a great many other therapeutic applications.

FD-SOI Targets Mobile ApplicationsMonday, September 30th, 2013
GIORGIO CESANA, STMicroelectronics, Crolles, France and CARLOS MAZURE, Soitec, Bernin, France
The FD-SOI technology platform is perfectly suited for mobile IC applications where power consumption has to be very low to maximize battery lifetime.
The IC industry has been innovative with the introduction of new materials and process modules like stressors, high-k and metal gates (HKMG). It has been very conservative in keeping the bulk planar transistor structure. As a result, the planar transistor has become a highly doped device with decreasing dimensions. Moreover, at these smaller dimensions, transistor characteristics suffer from statistical fluctuations like random dopant fluctuations (RDF) in the channel, which impair device matching in sub-100nm circuits. This has become an important problem beyond node 28/32nm limiting VDD reduction, thus limiting the reduction of both dynamic and standby power consumption.
There is strong consensus in the IC community that fully depleted (FD) transistors, also known as Ultra Thin Body (UTB) devices, are an effective solution for reducing the VT variability caused by random dopant fluctuation (RDF). FD devices can be vertical, (FinFETs, 3D MOSFET) [1], or planar (FD-SOI) [2, 3]. Their key characteristic is that the silicon channel is undoped.
FD-SOI is an evolutionary innovation because it has the advantage of being a planar transistor structure that extends the applicability of bulk design flows with existing design and EDA tools. It is a non-disruptive MOSFET architecture change for SOC design and processing. FD-SOI requires ultra-thin Si (<20nm) over an ultra-thin buried oxide (BOX<25nm) for improved electrostatics [3]. FD technology brings numerous benefits for power reduction, area scaling and performance improvement while enabling a lower VDD [3]. The IC SOC community has accepted that technology nodes beyond 20nm will have to use fully depleted (FD) MOSFETs.
Pushing performance, Intel introduced the 3D transistors, FinFET, first in 2011 for CPU applications [1]. The foundry world, in contrast, was able to scale conventional bulk CMOS technology from to 28nm to 20nm. The gain in density came with a higher price per unit area and little performance gain, however. Indeed, beyond the 28nm node, CMOS technology has become more complex with double patterning (node 20nm) and with 3D FinFET devices (node 14/16nm). The performance gain from node to node is well below the 30% boost we have seen historically with scaling from a nodes n to the following n+1.
In this landscape, 28nm FD-SOI [4, 5] offers a very attractive value proposition: best low power at HKMG performance. In fact, 28nm FD-SOI gives the performance boost of scaling without changing the node. This is very interesting option for low-power ICs where area is not the driving factor and which could profit from a performance boost at constant or lower power consumption. Thus for many IC products moving to FD-SOI without changing the node can be very attractive from a power, performance and cost point of view. Only density-driven ICs need to rush to the next node. The offering of 28nm FD-SOI by foundries [6] will, without doubt, be interesting for numerous fabless companies having products in 28nm that could take advantage of a higher performance second generation 28nm technology without sacrificing low-power operation. Furthermore, low-power HKMG 28nm FD-SOI will also be very attractive 40nm IC products moving to 28nm.
FD-SOI technology
For bulk MOSFETs, the channel VT is tuned through channel and Halo doping, which is where RDF originates. In contrast, the FD-SOI channel is undoped, significantly decreasing or eliminating RDF. The FD transistor VT is tuned through the gate work function and the back-bias voltage. Because of better electrostatics, FD-SOI transistors exhibit lower parasitics, which improves the transistor driving behavior. This is particularly advantageous at low VDD supplies. The better electrostatics also improve the short-channel effect as compared to the bulk 28nm version. This in turn enables a CMOS technology with shorter gate lengths (Lg=24nm), relaxing the integration constraints on the source and drain contact module.
FD-SOI in the ultra-thin body and buried oxide (UTBB) configuration [2, 3] offers the additional benefit of modulating the FD transistor characteristics by applying a back bias (FIGURE 3a). The FD-SOI transistor is, in principle, controlled by two gates: the actual transistor gate and the back plane, which acts as a second independent gate. Forward (FBB) and reverse back bias (RBB) circuit techniques have been used by many designers in earlier technology nodes but the range of biases were limited, on the one hand, by the source/drain to well diode forward-biasing, and, on the other hand, by the diminishing back biasing modulation of the bulk-transistor threshold voltages (VT) due to increasing channel doping levels. UTBB enables an extended back-biasing range of several VDD (-3V<VBB<+3V) and is a very powerful design tool for power management as well as for performance boosting, as illustrated in FIGURE 3b. Moreover, FD-SOI technology allows for dynamically adjusted threshold voltages.
Body bias requires a limited area overhead (2-3%), and can be restricted only to the IPs (i.e. CPU/GPU cores) that would benefit most from it to reduce the implementation effort and area overhead.
The 28nm FD-SOI process flow is a modified bulk 28nm HKMG LP process. It uses the same back end of the line andsame gate module. It is a simple incremental porting from bulk 28nm. Manufacturing even uses the same tool set. Several process steps, specifically channel implants, halo implants and masking levels, are removed compared to the traditional 28nm bulk technology because of the undoped FD-SOI channel. There is less than a 20% change to the typical CMOS bulk flow [4, 6].
The extremely thin body and buried oxide layers makes it possible to etch them and to co-integrate SOI and bulk devices on the same SoC. The ESD and I/O structures are kept in bulk for simplicity (FIGURE 4b). This is the hybrid integration with diodes and bipolars in bulk [2, 3, 4].
FD-SOI Substrates
FD-SOI technology builds on an SOI substrate with ultra-thin top Si (<12nm) and ultra-thin buried oxide (25nm) and with the utmost thin-layer uniformity of 6 = 0.5nm, all sites and all wafers [8].
Ultra-thin Silicon: The starting ultra-thin Si thickness has to be matched to the subsequent FD CMOS processing. Cleaning and sacrificial oxidations remove a few Si monolayers and this has to be considered when specifying the initial SOI thickness. The targeted Si channel thickness is typically between 5nm ??? 7nm [3, 7]. The SOI thickness (TSi) has a direct effect on the MOSFET characteristics [5]. To take advantage of the improved electrostatic behavior of FD-SOI, the rule of thumb is LG=1/3 TSi (5) in the channel region.
Thickness uniformity is the key parameter to control the VT variation and short-channel effects (SCE) of the planar FD-SOI device. Typical uniformity requirements include on-wafer uniformity and wafer-to-wafer uniformity. Both of them combined are classified as layer total thickness variation (LTTV) and define the overall manufacturing process window for thickness uniformity. LTTV has to be achieved at the nanometer or sub-nanometer range for the SOI layer for all wafers and all sites in order to meet the FD specifications.
From circuit and device considerations, the maximum TSI fluctuation that can be tolerated is ??5?? within-wafer (WiW), total wafer range of the TSi non uniformity, and wafer-to-wafer (WtW) TSi reproducibility.
Ultra-thin BOX: The thin BOX (Buried Oxide) suppresses the lateral electrostatic coupling between source, drain and channel of the transistor through the thick BOX. Furthermore, the BOX thickness reduction improves the scalability of the FD-SOI device at almost constant channel silicon thickness down to LG=10nm, which corresponds to the targeted gate length for the 10nm node. An ultra-thin BOX (UTBOX) enables the use of a back bias and a forward bias to adjust the transistor characteristics like current drive (Ion), off leakage (Ioff) and VT within an extended VBB voltage range [9].
The BOX thickness TBOX and silicon thickness TSi are independent parameters for the SOI fabrication and can therefore be adjusted without degrading the properties of the top silicon layer. The oxide quality of ultra-thin BOX is very similar to the quality of equivalent gate oxides.
FD-SOI Design
We use standard commercial EDA flow to design both bulk and FD-SOI. Design migration from Bulk to FD-SOI EDA flow is straightforward. The interconnects and routing are identical. FD-SOI devices behave very much like bulk transistors because there is no history effect and no floating-body effect, if TSi is sufficiently thin (<10nm). Logic and memory design and architecture are also similar to bulk.
The differences between FD-SOI and bulk are related to process and devices, and include, SPICE models, integration of ESD and analog devices, and application of back-bias schemes.
FD-SOI standard and custom cells can be duplicated or ported from existing bulk cells. Re-characterization is required due to a different SPICE model: Input capacitance, timing, leakage and dynamic power data in library files will change. Timing analysis needs to be rerun to check that there are no setup/hold violations in case of direct porting. Porting bulk designs to FD-SOI is as simple as porting to an updated bulk design [10, 11, 13, 14].
The device models are validated on FD-SOI hardware and available with EDA tools. Compact device models [11, 12] are production ready.
Circuit Results
SRAM Robustness: The lowest AVT values are achieved with FD-SOI [3, 9] due to the undoped channel and consequently the strong RDF reduction. Thus, lower VDD operation is enabled for minimum SRAM cell size as compared to its bulk equivalent. The FD-SOI cell has a better read stability and write ability with respect to the bulk cell. The typical bulk countermeasures of increasing VDD, or increasing the channel length and width to compensate for the VT variability are no longer necessary. At the same cell size, FD-SOI makes it possible to gain 100mV to 200mV in Vmin compared to the bulk cell [4]. The operation regime at VDD<0.8V is very attractive for mobile hand-held applications.
Circuit Performance: FD-SOI technology is particularly suited for high speed at low-voltage operation, reducing signifantly the power consumption (~VDD).
At 0.6V, FD-SOI is already capable of delivering 550MHz, >3x the performance of an equivalent 28LP technology implementation, without requiring any Forward Body Bias (FBB). Using Forward Body Bias, it is possible to reach 1GHz operation with a 0.6V source.
FD-SOI can also deliver the same performance as bulk while running at a lower operating voltage. As highlighted in Fig. 7, we have achieved the same performance in 28nm FD-SOI as 28LP while running with 200mV lower supply, and an even further saving of 200mV is possible when applying Forward Body Bias. This impressive reduction of 400mV on the supply voltage immediately translates into huge dynamic power savings.
In overdrive conditions, by boosting performance with FBB, we have demonstrated 3GHz operation [13], overtaking what has been obtained to date with the A9 architecture.
The FD-SOI technology targets fast performance at low voltage VDD and is an ideal technology to reduce the energy gap between battery energy supply and smart handheld system energy needs, so it runs cool. The industrial ecosystem is in place for the substrate supply, technology platform and design infrastructure. The FD-SOI technology platform is perfectly suited for mobile IC applications where the power consumption has to be very low to maximize battery lifetime. Furthermore, with its simplicity, FD-SOI is an evolutionary step from bulk towards fully depleted design because it maintains the planar device structure.

'We're all Jock Tamson's bairns' is a popular saying in Scotland and indeed is known in other parts of the world. The Reverend John Thomson {Jock Tamson} was a much-loved minister of Duddingston Kirk, Edinburgh from 1805 to 1840. He called the members of his congregation 'ma bairns' {my children}and this resulted in folk saying 'we're all Jock Tamson's bairns' which gave a sense of belonging to a small but special group. Nowadays, the phrase is often used to indicate we're all the same under the skin.

Altoona police didn't buy that, and say they also found brass knuckles, a small amount of marijuana and a pipe on 19-year-old John Ozio, before they decided to arrest him on Dec. 23. Ozio's public defender could not immediately be reached for comment.
He remained in the Blair County Prison on Thursday, awaiting a Feb. 8 preliminary hearing on charges of carrying an illegal weapon, marijuana possession, public drunkenness, underage drinking and criminal mischief.
Police say Ozio claimed someone planted the marijuana pipe in his backpack and that he carried the brass knuckles as "protection from being jumped."

Beck discusses formation of his Black Robe Regiment: "We are all going to lose our religious freedom if we don't" stand
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From the August 30 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:
Loading the player reg...
BECK: The thing at the Kennedy Center was incredible, and we introduced the Black Robe Regiment, which is something that I have been working on for how long, Pat? Six months? Eight months?
GRAY: Easily, yeah.
BECK: And didn't know how to go about it and didn't even know the Black Robe Regiment or anything else. And I had been talking to David Barton when we first met and I said, "David, I just feel that I'm -- we're supposed to get religious leaders together. God is the answer. But I don't know - and I'm a Mormon, I mean, nobody's going to talk to me." And he said, "Oh, you need the Black Robe Regiment." And I said, "What is that?" We started talking about it and I read up on it and I'm like, "Exactly it. That's exactly it. It's not about politics."
So I can tell you now who was in this meeting, or at least a few of them. They are the largest evangelical leaders in the country, and I've had meetings with other faiths as well. But this was the first one, and I had a couple people that had helped put this together, and some of them had been involved in the Christian Coalition. And when I first called them and talked to them, I said, "Look, I know you were involved in the Christian Coalition, but this isn't Christian, this has to be everybody, and it cannot ever be made about politics. If it's about politics, it's worthless." And all of them said the same thing: "Amen." And we stood in the -- I stood in this room, and when I was walking in the guy who helped me put it together, along with David Barton, he said "Glenn, they're -- they're very skeptical because of your faith, and this may -- this may not last long." And I said, "That's OK, I'll speak to them first." And I went into the room, and I said "First of all, thank you for all coming." Every single one of them came, except for Franklin Graham, and it's because he had a -- another engagement because it was called at the last minute. I think we gave them a week's notice, and all of them changed -- and there was 25 of them in the room or so. And I walked into the room and I said, "First of all, let me tell you who I am, and how I got here, and let me tell you about the atonement of Jesus Christ." And I -- I talked about how He is my savior and I'd be dead if it wasn't -- and then I held up a picture of Martin Luther King and I said "The civil rights movement -- the actual part of it -- we can disagree on the politics of it, but the important -- at least what I feel is important part of it is equal justice. Judge a man of the content of his character, not on the color of his skin. And that we haven't accomplished yet, and I think we're going backwards and we need -- we're about to lose our country, and we need to teach the correct principles of liberty and freedom, and it has nothing to do with politics. Nothing to do with politics. When it becomes political, it's over and it's discredited." And I held up the picture of Martin Luther King that I've held up on television before, and I had it blown up for this meeting in this hotel, and I said, "I want you to look in their eyes." They said they were afraid. They knew. And I said, "I -- I know as well. I know what this means. But I also know as they know, you must stand. And I'm asking you not to stand with me, but to stand with freedom and liberty, because we're all going to lose our religious freedom if we don't."
And I ended and sat down, and James Robison pounded the table, and he said, "Brothers, I know all of you here." And he said, "I can testify that the things that this man says are true because I've felt them too." And he said, "Shame on us for the Lord coming to each of us and telling us, but us not doing it." And then he said something that I thought was very funny, "And so the Lord has to go to a Mormon, and an alcoholic on top of that." And he said, "I will stand, I will stand." And all of them, one right after another -- one person said, "I can't. I'll lose half my congregation." And that's when -- that's when Dr. Dobson said, "What kind of a hypocrite are we if we believe these things, but we don't say them?" And Dr. Dobson said, he looked me right in the eye -- and Dr. Dobson is a guy who doesn't, you know, he doesn't agree on theology, and we have our theological differences -- and he looked me right in the eye -- just a real integrity and power -- and he said, "I will start tomorrow, I will start tomorrow." And he did. And he did.
That was the beginning of it. It has grown so much since. And I want you to encourage your pastors, preists, rabbis to take a stand for liberty. Freedom. Take a stand against the perversion of the Gospel that is social justice. This is -- I've said before, read the Ephesians 6, please, all of it, not just the "armor of God" part, but read all of it. I read it again last night. It is the way out. It is the only way out.

(1 item)
This teapot was part of my husband's aunts estate. I have no idea where it came from or if it is silver or silver plated. It is possible it came from Germany, where Tante Fina was born. But she also worked as a housekeeper for some well-off families in the New Rochelle, New York when she first came to this country and they sometimes gave her items (such as dishes, flatware etc.) they no longer wanted. She most likely was given this teapot because a small daisy-like flower had broken off the very top of the lid. We have the flower but have not looked into having it reattached. There is an identification number and mark on the bottom of the teapot, but I haven't been able to learn what company it represents.
I am very curious as to where this pot may have been made and what it's value might be. I do not think it is sterling silver, but perhaps silver plate. I hope someone can provide me with some information.

FBI investigating break-in at water treatment plant in north Georgia mountains
CHATSWORTH, Ga. – About 400 water customers around a small community in the north Georgia mountains have been told not to drink their tap water following a break-in at a treatment plant.
Chatsworth Water Works manager Steve Smith says someone changed the settings for how chlorine and fluoride feed into the system.
He says about 10 to 15 residents near the Carters Lake Water Treatment Plant in Murray County have no water at all.
The FBI, Georgia Bureau of Investigation and a sheriff's department are investigating the break-in.
Smith says the water company's tests show none of the changed levels of chemicals ever made it out of the plant, which was shut down as a precaution.
Smith says he hopes the plant will be back in operation by the end of the week.

And here's the sketch:
For the base of the layout, I cut a 12x12 square from a cardboard box, then tore off the first layer of the cardboard to make it a bit shabby. After I cut the circles I even made them a bit shabby by sanding the edges with a Dremel tool. I love the effect it gives it. I "borrowed" the Dremel Tool from my hubby's workbench, but I think it has found a permanent home in my scrap studio ;) Don't forget to head on over to Sketchabilities and check out what the rest of the Design Team did, and if you give the sketch a try, be sure to link it up for everyone to see!
Happy Sunday!

Nursing Diagnosis: Bathing hygiene Self care deficit
NANDA Definition: Impaired ability to perform or complete bathing/hygiene activities for oneself
Defining Characteristics: Inability to: wash body or body parts; obtain or get to water source; regulate temperature or flow of bath water; get bath supplies; dry body; get in and out of bathroom
Impaired physical mobility-functional level classification:
- Completely independent
- Requires use of equipment or device
- Requires help from another person for assistance, supervision, or teaching
- Requires help from another person and equipment or device
- Dependent does not participate in activity
Related Factors: Decreased or lack of motivation; weakness and tiredness; severe anxiety; inability to perceive body part or spatial relationship; perceptual or cognitive impairment; pain; neuromuscular impairment; musculoskeletal impairment; environmental barriers
NOC Outcomes (Nursing Outcomes Classification)
Suggested NOC Labels
• Self-Care: Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
• Self-Care: Bathing
• Self-Care: Hygiene
Client Outcomes
• Remains free of body odor and maintains intact skin
• States satisfaction with ability to use adaptive devices to bathe
• Bathes with assistance of caregiver as needed without anxiety
• Explains and uses methods to bathe safely and with minimal difficulty
NIC Interventions (Nursing Interventions Classification)
Suggested NIC Labels
• Bathing
• Self-Care Assistance: Bathing/Hygiene
Nursing Interventions and Rationales
- Assess client's ability to bathe self through direct observation (in usual bathing setting only) and from client/caregiver report, noting specific deficits and their causes. Use of observation of function and report of function provide complementary assessment data for goal and intervention planning .
- If in a typical bathing setting for the client, assess via direct observation using physical performance tests for ADLs. Observation of bathing performed in an atypical bathing setting may result in false data for which use of a physical performance test compensates to provide more accurate ability data .
- Ask client for input on bathing habits and cultural bathing preferences. Creating opportunities for guiding personal care honors long-standing routines, increases control, prevents learned helplessness, and preserves self-esteem. Cultural preferences are respected.
- Develop a bathing care plan based on client's own history of bathing practices that addresses skin needs, self-care needs, client response to bathing and equipment needs. Bathing is a healing rite and should not be routinely scheduled with a task focus. It should be a comforting experience for the client that enhances health..
- Individualize bathing by identifying function of bath , frequency required to achieve function, and best bathing form to meet client preferences, preserve client dignity, make bathing a soothing experience, and reduce client aggression. Individualized bathing produces a more positive bathing experience and preserves client dignity. Client aggression is increased with shower and tub bathing. Towel bathing increases privacy and eliminates need to move client to central bathing area; therefore it is a more soothing experience than either showering or tub bathing.
- Request referrals for occupational and physical therapy. Collaboration and correlation of activities with interdisciplinary team members increases the client's mastery of self-care tasks.
- Plan activities to prevent fatigue during bathing and seat client with feet supported. Energy conservation increases activity tolerance and promotes self-care.
- Provide medication for pain 45 minutes before bathing if needed. Pain relief promotes participation in self-care.
- Consider environmental and human factors that may limit bathing ability, such as bending to get into tub, reaching required for bathing items, grasping force needed for faucets, and lifting of self. Adapt environment by placing items within easy reach, lowering faucets, and using a handheld shower. Environmental factors affect task performance. Function can be improved based on engineering principles that adapt environmental factors to the meet the client's capabilities.
- Use any necessary adaptive bathing equipment. Adaptive devices extend the client's reach, increase speed and safety, and decrease exertion.
- Provide privacy: have only one caregiver providing bathing assistance, encourage a traffic-free bathing area, and post privacy signs. The client perceives less privacy if more than one caregiver participates or if bathing takes place in a central bathing area in a high-traffic location that allows staff to enter freely during care .
- Keep client warmly covered. Clients, especially elderly clients, who are prone to hypothermia may experience evaporative cooling during and after bathing, which produces an unpleasant cold sensation .
- Allow client to participate as able in bathing. Smile and provide praise for accomplishments in a relaxed manner. The client's expenditure of energy provides the caregiver the opportunity to convey respect for a well-done task, which increases the client's self-esteem. Smiling and being relaxed are associated with a calm, functional client response.
- Inspect skin condition during bathing. Observation of skin allows detection of skin problems.
- Use or encourage caregiver to use an unhurried, caring touch. The basic human need of touch offers reassurance and comfort.
- If client is bathing alone, place assistance call light within reach. A readily available signaling device promotes safety and provides reassurance for the client.
- Provide same type of bathrobe and bathing articles, such as scented dusting powder and bath oil, that client used previously. Use of sensory channels to stimulate memory may help foster understanding of bathing and self-care.
- Assess for grieving resulting from loss of function. Grief resulting from loss of function can inhibit relearning of self-care.
- Arrange bathing environment to promote sensory comfort: reduce noise of voices and water and decrease glare from tiles, white walls, and artificial lights. Noise discomfort can result from high-echo tiled walls, loud voices, and running water. Glare can cause visual discomfort, especially in clients with visual changes or cataracts.
- When bathing a cognitively impaired client, have all bathing items ready for client's needs before bathing begins. Injury often occurs when cognitively impaired client is left alone to obtain forgotten items
- Bathe elderly clients before bedtime to improve sleep. An evening bath helps elderly clients sleep better
- Bathe cognitively impaired clients before bedtime. Bathing a cognitively impaired client in the evening helps improve symptoms of dementia.
- Limit bathing to once or twice a week; provide a partial bath at other times. Frequent bathing promotes skin dryness. Reducing frequency of bathing decreases aggressive behavior in cognitively impaired clients.
- Allow client or caregiver adequate time to complete the bathing activity. Significant aging increases the time required to complete a task; therefore elderly individuals with a self-care deficit require more time to complete a task.
- Avoid soap or use only mild soap on genital and axillary areas; rinse well. Soap can alter skin pH and thus skin defenses, and it may increase skin dryness that results from decreased oil and perspiration production in the elderly.
- Use tepid water: test water temperature before use with a thermometer. Hot water promotes skin dryness and may burn a client with decreased sensation.
- Use a gentle touch when bathing; avoid vigorous scrubbing motions. Aging skin is thinner, more fragile, and less able to withstand mechanical friction than younger skin.
- Add hydrating bath oils to tub bath water 15 minutes after client immerses in water. Client's skin is coated with oil rather than being hydrated if bath oil is placed in water before client's skin is moistened with water
Home Care Interventions
- Based on functional assessment and rehabilitation capacity, refer for home health aide services to assist with bathing and hygiene. Support by home health aides preserves the energy of the client and provides respite for caregivers.
- Cue cognitively impaired clients in steps of hygiene. Cognitively impaired clients can successfully participate in many activities with cueing, and participation in self-care can enhance their self-esteem.
- Respect the preference of terminally ill clients to refuse or limit hygiene care. Maintaining hygiene, even with assistance, may require excessive energy demands from terminally ill clients. Pain on touch or movement may be intractable and not resolved by medication.
- If a terminally ill client requests hygiene care, make an extra effort to meet request and provide care when client and family will most benefit. When desired, improved hygiene greatly boosts the morale of terminally ill clients.
- Maintain temperature of home at a comfortable level when providing hygiene care to terminally ill clients. Terminally ill clients may have difficulty with thermoregulation, which will add to the energy demand or decrease comfort during hygiene care.
- Teach client and family how to use adaptive devices for bathing, and teach bathing techniques that promote safety . Adaptive devices can provide independence, safety, and speed.
- Teach client and family an individualized bathing routine that includes a schedule, privacy, skin inspection, soap or lubricant, and chill prevention. Teaching methods to meet client's needs increases the client's satisfaction with the bathing experience.

I'm also really picky about video compression, and some of the streaming services compress so much that watching their shows on the 55" TV I have in my living room is painful. Also, for some reason, half the shows and movies on Netflix have audio sync issues on my setup.
MythTV plays a large part in my household. All shows I watch are scheduled and recorded in HD off my satellite provider. While I wait for Ubuntu TV to take shape, I've recently upgraded my MythTV setup to Mythbuntu 12.04.
My MythTV backend is running on an HP Pavilion a4310f, with 4GB or ram, and a 1TB HDD. It's hooked up to a Hauppauge HD-PVR which records the video stream coming from my satellite provider's box. I have set the satellite provider's box to output 720p, as that gives me reasonable file sizes with an acceptable picture quality. Video is recorded over component cables, and sound is recorded in 5.1 over a TOSLINK cable. I use the IR blaster included with the HD-PVR to switch stations on the satellite box.
Instructions for setting up the HD-PVR in MythTV can be found in the wiki. This pretty much works out of the box with Mythbuntu. Although I originally had stability problems with the HD-PVR where every couple of months it would switch to recording audio at 25fps resulting in audio drift, a firmware upgrade to version 1.6.29353 has made it rock solid. I haven't risked upgrading to the most recent 1.7.x firmware as I don't currently have any issues.
You can obtain the script I use to change channels, my lircd configuration files, and the rc.local file I use to set the audio input here.
To set the picture control values to reasonable settings, I change the defaults for all channels in the MythTV database by running the following SQL command:
update channel set contrast=16384,brightness=32768,colour=16384,hue=3840;
I schedule programs to record using the MythTV web interface, and recorded shows are streamed in HD over the built-in UPnP server to any one of the three Playstation 3s I have around the house which also serve as Blu-ray players. I also have a dedicated MythTV frontend in the living room, which allows me to view TV shows without commercial interruption, and to delete shows once they've been watched. These are all connected using the wired gigabit network I installed during house construction, preventing the problems associated with streaming HD video over a wireless network.
In the living room, which is my main TV viewing area, a dedicated MythTV frontend is used. I am using a Jetway HBJC600C99-352W-BW mini computer. I chose that model because it came with a built-in remote control, which allows me to power it on and control it from my Sony RMVL610 universal learning remote. It also features Nvidia Ion2 graphics, which enables me to use VDPAU with MythTV in order get the performance necessary to decode HD video.
I added a 1GB SO-DIMM to it, along with a cheap 32GB KingSpec SSD. It is also running Mythbuntu 12.04, and is hooked up to the gigabit wired network.
Getting the remote to work was a bit of a challenge. The device has a bogus HID report descriptor, resulting in a compatibility issue with the kernel HID drivers. Before a kernel fix was available, I discovered an application called "hid-mapper", which allows converting any HID event into a keypress event. This is what I use on my frontend. I have packaged hid-mapper, along with some fixes, and all of the configuration scripts necessary to get it working on my frontend in my PPA.
If you do use my configuration files, please be aware that since I use a universal remote, I opted to make use of all buttons on the original remote without any regard to their placement or function. If you intend on using the original remote, you may want to reconfigure the button mappings to your liking.

The survival of our planet depends upon a large-scale shift in consciousness. Increasing the number of miles per gallon a car is required to achieve isn't going to create enough change. If you are not already embracing a responsible 21st-century lifestyle, the journey might be uncomfortable at first, but it's absolutely necessary. Reversing global warming and gearing up for sustainability requires steering outside of those double yellow lines and parking in an entirely new spot.

Ptarmigan Peak Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Ptarmigan Peak Wilderness (map) in 1993 and it now has a total of 12,615 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Colorado and is managed by the Forest Service.
DescriptionThe Williams Fork Mountains leap up and away into Ptarmigan Peak Wilderness from just below the western entrance to the Eisenhower Tunnel on Interstate 70, virtually unnoticed in winter as skiers rush to many nearby developed ski areas. The south slope of the mountains, dominated by Ptarmigan Peak at 12,458 feet, is where you'll find the designated land. A typical lodgepole-pine forest rises to Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir and then on to alpine tundra at the highest elevations. From the boundary along the top of the mountain ridgeline, the terrain drops into the wet, lush, and lovely drainages of the South and Middle Forks of the Williams Fork Rivers. You will not find many miles of trails in this Wilderness. The Ptarmigan Peak Trail just outside Silverthorne crosses Ptarmigan Pass into the drainages to the northeast, a one-way journey of seven miles. The Ute Pass Trail follows the ridgeline boundary from Ptarmigan Pass north to Ute Peak (12,303 feet) and on to Ute Pass, a total distance of about 10 miles.
