In the spring of 2000, the Sequim High School Baseball staff saw a need for summer baseball for high school players in Sequim. We've been working with young men ever since, and currently, we carry 20 players and travel almost every weekend in June & July.
We have a great sponsor in Olympic Ambulance (OA). OA's help each year accounts for about 40% of our budget. The team and staff raise the other 60% through various fundraising events. We also raised $200 through sponsorship advertising on the bus.
Each player pays $225 to play. If a player can't pay, the team will cover his cost.
How can you help?
Each year, the team raises around $10,000. We hold a special Dinner & Auction. We also receive donations from businesses in and around Sequim. These businesses make the difference in our program.
All donations are spent on the players. Coaches are not paid. We are a nonprofit organization.
If your business can help, please send your donation to:

The stadium's first turf upgrade since the return of football to Southeastern Louisiana in 2003 is expected to be completed by March.
The project includes removal of the existing turf and track and installation of the new turf, which was used by the New Orleans Saints and Tulane University for one year in 2010 in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
"Obtaining this like-new turf from the Superdome is a great opportunity to get professional grade turf of the highest quality at a greatly reduced price," Southeastern athletics director Bart Bellairs said. "It provides another layer of safety for our student-athletes and others who use the field."
The Lion Athletics Association, a non-profit organization that assists the university's athletics department, is financing the project.

Claustrophobia or fear of enclosed places is in fact a very common condition that affects millions across the globe. Claustrophobia is popularly known as fear of enclosed or small places such as elevators and washrooms. Anyone is prone to the condition as it affects all sorts of people such as doctors, soldiers, lawyers and others. The common factor among claustrophobic individuals is that they are usually okay until the door is closed that confines them to a small place, which triggers the onset of a panic attack. This article provides critical information on the condition, and some techniques that may help in reducing its effects.
People with claustrophobia feel trapped inside small places such as an elevator. In addition, the situation is worsened and likely to become claustrophobia panic attacks by the presence of others who crowd the limited space. The situation also increases the possibility of embarrassment from the panic, worsening the situation.
At one time, an orderly and a doctor were together in an elevator that was going to the second floor of a hospital. All was well until there was a malfunction that halted the elevator. The doctor was at ease as she was sure that there would be only few seconds of confinement until the doors closed. But with the stopping of the elevator, she was increasingly agitated and stressed. Within moments, she was yelling and beating up the walls and pacing.
Looking at the above scenario, if the doctor had taken a few moments for mind conditioning before the situation occurred, then she would have been able to handle the situation differently. In order to handle panic symptoms caused by claustrophobia, you should first condition your mind to deal with it even before any real occurrence. This will enable you to react in a calm manner rather than going into a panic.
Breathing exercises are a good way of mind conditioning that will enable you to deal with panic symptoms. Taking deep breaths is a way that has been proven to be good treatment for agoraphobia. You should practice the method regularly before you are faced with the claustrophobic situation. This will enable you to immediately start taking deep breaths when the situation threatens to spiral out of control throwing you into a panic.
The secret is to start performing the breathing exercises as soon as you are in the enclosed space. To practice this method, imagine yourself in an enclosed place and when the panic symptoms begin, start taking deep breaths through the nose when counting to five, hold to the count of five and exhale slowly to another count of five.

Public Health News Roundup: January 4
Shorter Hospital Stays Linked to Hospital Readmissions for U.S. Heart Attack Patients
Patients treated for acute heart attacks in the United States are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of their initial discharge more often than in other countries, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study found that 60 percent of severe heart attack patients admitted to U.S. hospitals were discharged in three days or less, yet 14.5 percent of the U.S. patients required another stay within a month. By comparison, 54 percent of study participants in other countries spent at least six days in the hospital and only 10 percent were readmitted to the hospital within thirty days.

Top 10 NewPublicHealth Posts of 2011
It's been an exciting year for us at NewPublicHealth! We launched in March, and nine months, nine conferences and 568 posts later, we are ready to ring in the new year.
Here's a glimpse into the inaugural year of NewPublicHealth, and the top posts by popularity.
- Power of Health IT for Public Health: A NewPublicHealth Q&A With Farzad Mostashari. This piece was a conversation with the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), about the evolving public health informatics field.
- Dr. Douglas Jutte: My Patient's Most Pressing Health Concern Was a Broken Carburetor. Dr. Jutte provided a personal commentary on how unmet social needs—like access to nutritious food, transportation assistance and housing assistance—were sometimes the most critical in treating his patients. (Also check out a round-up of reader responses to this post.)
- Public Health and the Community Benefit: A NewPublicHealth Q&A With Abbey Cofsky. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires that non-profit hospitals, starting in 2012, perform a community health needs assessment, and that the assessment serve as the foundation of an implementation plan to address identified needs. NewPublicHealth spoke with Abbey Cofsky, program officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, about the public health opportunities this provision offers.
- The National Prevention Strategy: A NewPublicHealth Q&A With Surgeon General Regina Benjamin. Upon its launch, we spoke with the Surgeon General about the nation's plan for increasing the number of Americans who are healthy at every stage of life.
- Teen Birthrates Down in U.S. But Still Lag Behind Other Developed Nations. This article looked at the April Vital Signs report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the latest stats on teen childbirth, such as, "Girls born to teen mothers are about 30% more likely to become teen mothers themselves."
- Health Literacy: Reducing the Burden of a Complex Healthcare System. During Health Literacy Month, NewPublicHealth caught up with Linda Harris of the HHS Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion and Cindy Brach of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality about federal efforts to improve health literacy and to reduce the burden of a complex healthcare system.
- The County Health Rankings 2011: Mobilizing Action to Improve Health. NewPublicHealth's very first post announced the second annual County Health Rankings, a collaboration between the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute that provides a standard way for counties to see where they are doing well and where they are not so they can make changes to improve health.
- What to Expect at the Health Data Initiative Forum: A Q&A With Todd Park. The Forum, presented by HHS and the Institute of Medicine, convened more than 500 people to showcase how health data can provide a rich seeding ground for new tools to support more informed decision-making by consumers, healthcare systems and community officials. NewPublicHealth spoke with Todd Park, Chief Technology Officer at HHS, to get his take on health innovation.

The recent mHealth Summit simultaneously showcased new mobile health apps and technologies, while presenters at workshops questioned just how ready the technology and the medical community are for each other. A new collaborative article by NPR and Kaiser Health News continues that discussion by addressing one doctor's iPad pros and cons. The reporting will add to the questions and answers health departments, agencies, practices and hospitals field as they consider acquiring new technology.
>> Read the article.
Bonus question: Where do you stand in weighing the pros and cons of new technology for health and health care?
mHealth: Updates from the Exhibit Floor
The one sure thing about the mHealth summit is that this is a field still in its early days. But attendance of first-time exhibitors Verizon, Qualcomm and AT&T, who each showed some new health monitoring apps and connectivity systems, was good news for the industry and the conference. More important, says Tom Brewer, project manager at the Northwest Regional Telehealth Resource Center, is the opportunity these big companies bring in helping smaller telecommunications systems fit into their larger networks. Brewer says that expanding telehealth and mHealth opportunities could improve connectivity and access for consumers in areas where broadband is limited.
Numbers underscore the nascent phase of the mHealth field. At a session yesterday on the value of mHealth, attendees were reminded that a month after download, only 6 percent of public health apps are still in use. From a business model, the purchase is completed. But from a public health standpoint, the promise of the app for diabetes or glucose monitoring, or calorie counts or smoking cessation, for example, has largely been lost, says Brewer. At least one app firm on the exhibit floor confirmed those numbers. A million of their apps have been downloaded in the last four years, but only 7 percent are still in use.
Yvonne Hunt, PhD, MPH, of the National Cancer Institute says that simply underscores the need for testing and evidence so that apps are designed with best practices and remain in use. (Read our Q&A with Dr. Hunt.) One way to increase use might be with automatic updates to downloaded apps, an option from several firms and a good question for providers to research before recommending an app.
Technology to watch:
- Cffone—mobile website for kids with cystic fibrosis that helps connect patients with each other and encourages adherence to treatment regimens.
- NIH alcohol consumption app that will be launched in early 2012—lets users key in the alcohol type and portion size in their drinks so they can see if they're exceeding recommended daily limits and track their intake over time. Drinkers are often unaware of how much alcohol they're consuming in a day or month, of the risks it can pose, such as impaired driving, exacerbated health concerns and drug interactions.
Surgeon General Announces New Healthy Apps Challenge
This morning, Surgeon General Regina Benjamin, MD, delivered the keynote address at the mHealth Summit, and announced the new Healthy Apps Challenge, in collaboration with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, to encourage developers and innovators to create mobile and other technological applications to help complement the nation's first National Prevention Strategy.
>>Read our Q&A with the Surgeon General on the launch of the National Prevention Strategy.
>>Hear from Farzad Mostashari, MD, ScM, National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, on the potential of health technology for public health.
The new app challenge is looking for apps that will engage individuals with tailored health information and empower users to eat healthy, get active and improve their emotional wellbeing – and enjoy it! Dr. Benjamin emphasized that last point. "Joy is so important," said Dr. Benjamin. "We each have to find our own joy in health." Dr. Benjamin finds her joy in dancing, and said she encourages her colleagues to have 60-second dance parties at work as a fun way to take a physical activity break.
Though the Surgeon General applauded the potential for technology to improve the public's health, she also called for a broader, system-wide change, as outlined by the National Prevention Strategy. "In addition to state-of-the-art medicine and technology, we need a new approach in our communities that focuses on the things outside the doctor's office that keep us healthy, from healthy housing to transportation to access to healthy foods," said Dr. Benjamin. "That calls for the nation to take a more holistic, integrated approach to health."
Dr. Benjamin said the National Prevention Strategy brings together 17 federal agencies from across government, together with stakeholders from the private and community sectors, to help move the nation, "from a system focused on sickness and disease to one focused on prevention. We need to stop the illness before it starts."
Dr. Benjamin told the story of how when she was sworn in as Surgeon General, much of her family couldn't be there with her to celebrate. Both of her parents had passed away from preventable, chronic diseases. "I don't want anyone else to suffer the loss of a loved one for something that could be prevented," said Dr. Benjamin.
mHealth Summit Day One: HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and West Wireless Institute's Eric Topol
Not surprisingly, there were some striking numbers tossed around on morning one of the third annual mHealth Summit today, including the number of worldwide Facebook users—800 million—and the percentage of U.S. households with cell phones—about 90 percent.
That Facebook number has great mHealth applicability. Keynote speaker Eric Topol, MD, vice chair of West Wireless Health Institute, a conference sponsor, told the story of a little boy whose doctors couldn't diagnose his illness, until his mother put a photo of him—and his skin swelling—on Facebook and got back the accurate diagnosis of Kawasaki's Disease, an autoimmune disease that can be fatal. That example is an important one because Facebook is relatively inexpensive to access. Other technologies discussed at the opening keynote today—including a smartphone heart imaging app that Dr. Topol says he has used for two years instead of a stethoscope, might take longer to adopt as physicians learn to use, store and charge patients and providers for the images.
Numbers do speak to the growth of the industry. Attendees at this year's meeting grew from 2,400 last year to 3,600 in 2011, according to Scott Campbell, PhD, Executive Director and CEO of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, another conference sponsor.
The wow factor was certainly on the screen this morning—Smartphone microscope apps, and chip-loaded contact lenses to monitor glaucoma, for example. But speakers acknowledged that adoption is still in its early phases, even as the usefulness is quantifiable. Robert Kaplan, PhD, Director of the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research at the National Institutes of Health, noted, for example that 63 percent of deaths worldwide are now the result of non-communicable diseases. "In order to combat these trends we need new tools and strategies and new innovations," says Kaplan, who added that "we believe that mHealth and wireless technologies are an essential part of our future. For example, research centers are looking at sensors and wireless phones to help monitor health in rural locations."
Kaplan made a strong case for scrutiny: "physicians are stubborn and they want evidence—we need evidence to document the benefits of health and I look forward to what lies ahead."
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius acknowledged the relative slow growth of technology in medicine, "healthcare has stubbornly hung onto its cabinets and hanging files." But, Sebelius pointed out, "when innovation is slow, so is improvement. Americans still live sicker and die sooner than many people in nations around the world."
Sebelius focused on electronic health records and pointed out that part out that part of the healthcare problem is a lack of access to information about their own health, health information and how to find help. HHS says adoption has moved from 17 percent in 2009 to 34 percent and is on pace to triple shortly. "mHealth," says Sebelius, "is the natural extension of this trend."
Where government can play a critical role, says Sebelius, is in providing and driving research and as a catalyst. Benefits extend beyond health of individuals—Sebelius says 50,000 new jobs have been created by the growth of electronic health records.
Sebelius told the attendees that they can help move these technologies and their benefits forward, by being supportive of all innovations, not just those that involve health tools, such as "helping move toward patient-centered health systems." And, she added, the technologies will only be embraced if individuals know they're safe and private.

mHealth Summit: An Interview with Susannah Fox of the Pew Internet & American Life Project
The third annual mHealth Summit starts today. The summit brings together more than 3,600 leaders in government, the private sector, academia, health care providers and not-for-profit organizations to advance collaboration in the use of wireless technology to improve health outcomes in the U.S. and abroad. In advance of the meeting, NewPublicHealth spoke with Susannah Fox, associate director of digital strategy at the Pew Internet & American Life Project and contributor to the health blog, e-patients.net, about advances in mobile health and what's yet to come.
>>NewPublicHealth will be covering the conference, talking with attendees and reporting from the ground of the mHealth Summit. Follow our coverage here.
NewPublicHealth: Where on its trajectory is mHealth?
Susannah Fox: About 85 percent of American adults have a cell phone. While many are still used only for phone calls, a third of the cell phone population has a Smartphone. It's significant that that the audience is growing and what we thought last year about mHealth already has to be updated.
Last year only 17 percent of cell phone users used their devices to look up health information, so that's a place where there is room for growth. By comparison, about 70 percent send and/or receive text messages and about 40 percent access the internet.
NPH: What will spur greater growth?
Susannah Fox: We'll see some demographic changes. As people currently in their 20s, who are significant users of mobile devices, move ahead into different stages of their life, that can change how many people are doing mHealth searches.
The other thing that could change is that on the supply side, more organizations are making sure their websites and other content is mobile ready, making sure it's possible to read something or forward something or share it on a social network site. And, add in mobile users to internet use and the differences between white adults and African American adults, for example, disappears. Mobile use could have an effect on other digital divides in the future, but for now, our research shows that its greatest effect is among minorities. For example, use of cell phones or mobile digital devices to find health information is 21 percent for Latino adults, but only 13 percent for White adults.
NPH: What else from a health perspective would someone use their mobile device for?
Susannah Fox: Going beyond search, there is text messaging and the opportunity for creating public health messages that are interesting and engaging and funny and that people want to forward to their friends.
In the health app market, up to date data shows us it's pretty stable. Eleven percent of all adult cell phone users have downloaded an app that helps them manage their health, a statistically insignificant difference from the 9 percent of adult cell users who reported having used a mobile health app in September 2010.
And a new report shows that mobile enables people to be location-aware and let them find information that relates to exactly where you are at any time of the day or night. This could have an impact on health searches such as looking for clinics and providers.
We're still really at the early adopter stage for online health though—social media, engagement in e-patient networks, health apps. It's still a small group that really is engaged to share with others, or is tracking some aspect of their health on their mobile device. We're watching to see when it will engage a wider population—will it be a monitor that reports to you? Or perhaps when clinicians engage and encourage patients to go online.
mHealth Summit: What's the Potential of Health Technology for Public Health?
Next week, the third annual mHealth Summit, the largest event of its kind, brings together leaders in government, the private sector, industry, academia, providers and not-for-profit organizations to advance collaboration in the use of wireless technology to improve health outcomes in the United States and abroad.
The conference takes place in Washington, D.C., December 5-7, 2011, and embodies a collaborative spirit by pairing interesting speakers from different fields—for example, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, and Eric Topol, MD, Vice Chairman of West Wireless Health Institute will both speak at the Opening Keynote and Surgeon General Regina Benjamin, MD, and Verizon Wireless Executive Vice President, John Stratton, will lead the Tuesday morning keynote.
NewPublicHealth will be on the ground at the Summit to capture the conversations, new collaborations and innovations in mobile health, from a perspective of what can feasibly be applied to public health and the potential for mobile technologies to help the public health field connect with hard-to-reach populations and bridge disparities.
While we're collecting stories from the conference floor, we want to hear from you:
- What are you excited about in the mHealth field and the wide world of health technology?
- What do you think is the power of mHealth and other health technology for the work you do?
- What steps into mHealth or health technology are you exploring or pursuing?
- What public health technology projects are your role models?
- What type of data or services do you have that would lend themselves to mobile or open online access?
>>Need some ideas? Check out our set of health technology stories—some of our favorites include a national text message campaign for moms; a supercomputer that can troll the blogosphere for patient-driven data; emergency updates through Facebook; a round-up of public health smartphone apps; and thoughts from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology on the power of health IT for public health.

Community Transformation Grants Announced By HHS
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has announced today grants of more than $100 million to 61 states and communities – serving more than 120 million residents – to fight chronic disease, the leading cause of death in Americans. Grants will focus on tobacco-free living; active living and healthy eating; preventive services, including prevention and control of high blood pressure and cholesterol; creating healthier environments; and reducing health disparities. Groups such as Trust for America's Health have applauded this effort for moving the country toward a prevention-oriented approach to health. View more community health and prevention stories.
Health 2.0 "Code-a-thon" Yields Innovative Health Tech Ideas
A group of health developers, designers and entrepreneurs met in San Francisco this week for the Health 2.0 Code-a-Thon, a live event to bring different perspectives together and build exciting new applications and tools for improved health care in a short amount of time. The California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowships' Reporting on Health program offers highlights of the innovations developed there, including an online and mobile platform for virtual Alcoholics' Anonymous support, a slew of apps to support coordinated care and medication management, and an app that rewards people for healthy behaviors.

Back to School: Preventing Sports Injuries
Today, as many school sports begin practices, officials remind parents, children and coaches to take precautions to prevent sports injuries. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), about three million children and adolescents ages 14 and under are injured each year playing sports or participating in recreational activities, and more than 775,000 are treated in hospital emergency rooms for these types of injuries.
Jon Divine, M.D., previously director of Sports Medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and now head team physician at the University of Cincinnati, says one way to reduce injuries is to help kids get and stay in shape before tryouts and practice begins. Additional tips:
- Acclimate children to hot weather workouts by gradually increasing time outdoors in the heat and humidity about ten days to two weeks before official practice begins to help prevent heat injuries.
- Make sure children drinking plenty of fluids and take frequent breaks: every 10-15 minutes while they play outdoor sports.
- Young athletes with asthma should check with their physician about using an inhaler preemptively, and should make sure to have an inhaler easily and immediately accessible during practice and games.
- Make sure children wear a well-fitted helmet if they play football, softball or baseball to prevent severe injuries such as concussions. Many head injuries result from helmets not being fitted or used correctly.
- Athletes who take a blow to the head should not return to the same practice, game or contest and should be evaluated by a physician prior going back to tryouts, practice or games.
Several vetted websites offer additional resources to help prevent youth sports injuries:
For more on preventing heat-related sports injuries, take a look at NewPublicHealth's round-up of online trainings and apps and an update on heat illness guidelines from the AAP.

Hispanic outreach
¿No habla inglés? Lee ésta página en español.
We're reaching out to help the fastest growing population in the United States: Latinos. They come from throughout Latin America, looking for better wages, hope and a new future for their family.
The language barrier makes it difficult for Latinos to find emergency help when they need it. Finding a job or getting help with issues like addictions can seem impossible.
Isolation is another factor. Men and women often face life in the states alone, thousands of miles from their support network of family and friends.
Our Spanish-language program, Buenas Nuevas, gives Hispanic men in our community support and assistance as they work through the challenges of living in a foreign land.
Spanish-language services
¿Necesita ayuda? Podemos ayudar. Comunica con Elena — 206.432.8473 o firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bring hope to Hispanics caught far from friends and family in a place where they don't speak the language.

FEDERALSBURG, Md.- The mayor of Federalsburg says he was robbed of his cellphone after he gave a man a ride in his pickup truck.
"He said he wanted to go to the marina, I said I was going in the other direction, but when he smiled it was like what a nice guy, I thought he belonged here, he doesn't," joked Federalsburg Mayor Bill Beall.
Beall can laugh about it now but said being robbed at gunpoint was scary. "Having a gun pointed at you, It's a little traumatic but my first reaction was anger," Beall said.
The suspect is being described by police as a black male in his mid-20 who was wearing a gray jacket and blue sweatshirt. The suspect asked Beall for a ride outside of the Super Soda. But once the two started driving toward River Road, Beall says he got the surprise of a lifetime. "He gets out of truck and looks right at me and has something under his sweatshirt that was round and aimed at me and said I am going to need your wallet. I said, 'You've got to be kidding me man,'" Beall said. "He said, 'I need your wallet now before this goes off,' and I just looked at him and I just hit the gas and took off."Beall said he has learned his lesson, so what will he do if another stranger asks him for a ride?"I am going to tell you if I don't know somebody, they're walking," Beall said. This crime has now left the town on high alert. Police are hoping to catch the man who robbed their mayor. The suspect made off with Beall's cellphone. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Federalsburg Police Department at (410) 754-8966.

By Pudelskern Design, this is one of my favourite all time lighting designs, it has that really unusual creature-like appearance, plus it's knitted which is cool.
Is it an eye, or is it a lamp? Smoothly it turns its head and searches the ground. From the corner it follows the dark edges and spaces in between, illuminating spots the sun never reaches. Looking like a dweller of unknown worlds, Feeler is a flexible lamp. The cosy tube can be used as a cuddling lamp on the floor or as sculptural lamp, pendant or freestanding. Feeler is a good friend for a lifetime.
I imagine it being in Monsters Inc. creeping behind you, looking over your shoulder. Reading a book with this would look surreal and wonderful, whacky fantastic idea.

PULLMAN, Wash. -- The U.S. Energy Department just rewarded Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories a multi-million dollar award. The Pullman company is tasked with developing technologies to better protect the nation's electric grid from cyber-attack.
"When Dr. Schweitzer started the company, cyber-security was at a foremost consideration when we built our products and it's only continued as we've progressed and grown the company," said David Whitehead, Vice President of Research and Development for Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories.
The company works with partners and customers around the world to ensure the safe, reliable, and economical delivery of electric power.
"We would like to say we were doing cyber-security before cyber-security was even cool," Whitehead added.
The U.S. Energy Department has turned to Schweitzer for help along with ten other security vendors. The group will develop new tools and technologies to strengthen protection of the nation's electric grid. They also work to strengthen oil and gas infrastructure from anyone who tries to damage, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems and networks that monitor and control those energy resources.
"Taking the cyber-security aspect, how do you protect and encrypt the data? That's one part of it, but also how the data gets around in any particular network in a controlled fashion is another part of this effort we are doing," said Whitehead.
Schweitzer's reward from the Department of Energy totals nearly $13 million. The company will work on development of an integrated cyber and physical security system that gives power operators a clear picture people are doing in the cyber world and in and around their facilities.
Schweitzer will also use the grant to develop radio technologies that can transmit critical information like volts and watts from power poles in the rural areas. Its third project will be to control how power gets from one place to the next.
"Particularly that it doesn't take another route," said Whitehead. "From me to somewhere else, and then to you which can happen in normal IT networks in which you may find in an office building."
Schweitzer engineers simply said they were honored to receive the grant.

Wow, things around here are getting stranger by the day.LOL:p:p
Ok pic's as promise. Be nice now. As i said, nothing fancy. EVERY EXTRA HOLE IN THAT SMOKE HOUSE WAS FROM FRIEND WHO NEED TOO LEARN HOW TO SHOOT! lol. And one was from me. So theres no stainless steel in here, Stainless is a pain to work with and expensive. There is supposed to have two hanging rack's in there, but i took out one and put a quick brace in there for transport. the rack's in here are on rollers and can slide in and out. Just to give you an idea on the size, the guy on the right in the last pic is 6'6. any questions ask away. I would have made it bigger but that's all the material i had at the time.
And heres that last pic. We will probably be doing a Small batch this weekend, if we do i will post some pics of it half full.
Damn. Looking at it now i shold have took a better pic of the rack. But as you can tell the rain was starting to come down and i was rushing. Don't want my camera getting wet.
Did I hear one time that galvanized metal gives off a poisonous gas when hot or burned?

Former NHLer and current Saint Mary's University student Mike Danton is now a part of the history of the old Halifax Forum, and this building has a lot of history. I don't know if it's the oldest hockey arena in this country but as they say, it certainly is up there. The forum was built in 1928 and has had a storied career with the halcyon days from boxing, with Blair Richardson in the 50s, to being the place where the first Canadian team won the American Hockey League title in the spring of 1972 when the Nova Scotia Vees came to town. The Halifax Forum was supposed to fade off in 1978 when the Metro Centre was opened. That was not the case, and sporting events from junior hockey to rec hockey to mixed martial arts and, once in a blue moon, even a boxing match takes place. The major hockey tenants these days include a Maritime Junior A hockey squad (the Halifax Lions) and the Saint Mary's Huskies hockey team. Both draw poorly, with the Junior hockey team always appearing to wallow in red ink. The big hockey team in this city is the Major Junior Hockey team, the Halifax Mooseheads, who were the very first Atlantic-based team in the "Q" and are by far the most successful hockey team ever in Halifax. Sellouts and people waiting in line to buy tickets for Forum hockey games isn't something that happens often. In fact, the last time I can remember a full house at the Forum was around ten years ago, when due to a commitment at the Metro Centre, the Halifax Mooseheads had to play a playoff game at the old building. Before that we are probably looking at the 70s, when the Vees played playoff hockey at the Forum against the likes of the Rochester Americans as coached by one Donald S. Cherry. Mike Danton resumed his hockey career on Thursday night after years of inactivity. Now, Danton and his return to hockey didn't record a rare Forum sellout but it generated the biggest regular season hockey crowd in years, maybe decades. "Look at the lineup," said Rod White, who regularly takes in college hockey and follows the Huskies and the Dal Tigers. "It seems that Mr. Danton is drawing a crowd. "There were line-ups at the ticket office at noon time," one of the ushers told TSN.ca, "And that rarely happens for any support." The game was at 7 pm and I arrived at 6:25 - that is after having to find a place to park, something that is rare for weekday regular season games in any sport. Then, when I approached the Forum, the line-up was outside the door and around the corner of the street. By the time the game started the lineup was even longer. "This is good for university hockey which is great hockey and underappreciated," said Frank MacDonald, a man around age 45. "Danton is responsible for the biggest gate in years and I know he has lots of support and I hope he does well," said Amanda Boulegon, who was surprised by the line-up and crowd. In a way, this column is probably the end of the Danton Trilogy. We've had the rumour turn to fact that the former NHLer who played 92 games would come to Saint Mary's. Act II was a week ago when Danton met the media in a controlled conference. Only questions pertaining to his schooling at SMU and his possible university hockey career were allowed. And finally, on Wednesday night, his return to the ice rounded off an interesting week in the history of both Saint Mary's and Halifax. Mike Danton played on the third line and, for his first game, looked liked a third line player. "I don't know what all these people expect of him," says Harold MacKay. "He's only had a week or so of practice."
MacKay takes in lots of college games but his son Mark, 10, came because of the "hype". The game was played against the Acadia Axemen and it was a few minutes before SMU coach Trevor Stienburg put Danton on the ice. It was a quick shift - would you believe 26 seconds? "We all knew that first shift would be a short one," Stienburg told me after the game. "It could have been longer but the whistle blew and I sent another line on." The next shift was a little bit longer, nearly 45 seconds. He had five shifts - none over 50 seconds - in the first period. On most of those shifts he played his wing but on one shift he showed a burst of energy as he headed to the corner for the puck. "Look at that," said Bob Lewis, a 29-year-old fan. "When he gets in condition we may see lots of that." In the second period Danton picked up his intensity, threw some hits, went into corners and around the 11-minute mark in the third period, he converted a pass from linemate Cam Fergus and scored the only Huskies goal of the game. The crowd responded with a standing ovation. "That was nice, both the goal and the ovation," Danton told reporters after the game. The Saint Mary's coach was very pleased with Danton's effort. "Considering the short time he has had to get in shape and the good team we faced in the Axemen he played better than I expected," said Stienburg. I must have spoken to 30 people and while they came to see the former NHL player, most of them were not really sure what to expect. From "it's nice to see him get back in the game" to "it's nice that SMU is giving him a second chance" to "we want to see him succeed" to "we wanted to see him fail", the majority of fans I talked to hoped he would do well. And, although in a losing cause, the goal he scored gave the crowd of nearly 4,000 - by far the biggest college hockey crowd in years - a great chance to cheer for Danton. It's just a single game but considering where he has come from, it's a major step. For TSN.ca, I'm Alex J. Walling. Alex J. can be reasched via email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Can Breast Milk Make Money?
Dr. Wendy Walsh: On the heels of the massive recall of infant formula made by Similac (due to its being contaminated with beetle parts!), new life is being breathed into the call for more human breast-milk banks in America.
I am a working mother who pumped my milk, and did not rely on formula. So, I don't relate to the comment about using formula to allow for a career. Pumping is possible, as well as reverse cycle breastfeed where most nursing is done evenings and nighttime. Formula is good for those who truly can't feed or preemies, etc. But not necessarily because a mother is working. Also, most breast milk banks are very short of supply,and it's prohibitely expensive for most.
My son was born prematurely, and as a result he was unable to latch onto my nipple for the first few weeks of his life. In addition, my body was not quite ready to make milk—I had to pump for quite awhile before I got my supply going. During those first few emotional weeks, I used formula to supplement my hard-earned milk (which we fed via bottle). It was due to the combination formula and breastmilk that my little guy was able to get the calories that he needed to grow strong enough and large enough to latch on to my breast. He's now 11 weeks old and is breastfeeding like a champ! I hated every bottle of formula I gave to him, but I recognized the medical necessity. I only wish that I could have been more certain of the ingredients. It would be wonderful if there were enough milk banks and enough generous lactating moms so that a mom in my position could have had another mom's milk as an option.

Five years ago, the prospects that there would be a trolley line from the Inner Harbor to University Parkway by 2012 appeared to be gaining traction.
But since then, momentum for a Charles Street Corridor Trolley has slowed to a near halt.
The most significant recent development is an economic impact study that is supposed to be completed this spring. Kristin Speaker, of the Charles Street Development Corp., which has backed the trolley proposal, said the study will show possible benefits of the trolley. But even the report's findings may not generate any renewed push for the project.
"We're aware that (Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake) doesn't support the project," Speaker said.
A proposal for a trolley running from the Inner Harbor to University Parkway to help draw tourists to institutions such as the was introduced several years ago. And in 2007, backers of the trolley began to hold public meetings to discuss possible routes and financing options. Meanwhile, trolley opponents started their own website to push back against the project's expense and the trolley's possible adverse impact on exisitng mass transportation.
A website in support of the trolley line detailed its cost -- $156 million. Of that amount, $136 million would come from the city and state through various means and $20 million from the federal government. It was also expected that the trolley would cost $4.5 million a year to operate and that would come from the fare box and city funds used to operate Baltimore City Shuttle Service on Charles Street.
However, when the economy tanked in 2008, resulting in major budget constraints on Baltimore and the state, momentum for the project all but evaporated, and the trolley line has been pushed to the backburner.
Ian Brennan, a spokesman for Rawlings-Blake, said the mayor isn't against the project, but that its supporters need to show that the project can pay for itself.
"They need to show they can generate independent outside funding," Brennan said.
Now that the city is facing another budget deficit — estimated to be — any new proposal needs to come with its own funding sources.
Even as the prospects for a trolley connecting the Inner Harbor and North Baltimore dim, advocates for the project are trying to create grassroots support.
Mark Counselman, a founder of the independent advocacy group Friends of the Trolley, is confident that the trolley will regain its traction, especially if the group can demonstrate enough local support.
"I think the mayor's a reasonable person, and we will build momentum and when she sees the community is behind it, she'll come around," said Counselman, an Oakenshawe resident.
He said he understands the bad economy is making things tough for the city and that funding for projects such as the trolley isn't readily available. But he thinks there's a constituency to advocate on behalf of a trolley line as part of Baltimore's transpotation future.
"I think the ball's in our court to prove the future of cities is great transit networks, and it's as simple as that," Counselman said.

Writers Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman continue their story of Ape society in an action-packed and plot-rich Planet of the Apes: Cataclysm #8.
Chimpanzees are at their lowest ebb as members of Ape society, several being marched into refugee camps as names become numbers; this, on top of the fact it was they who suffered most from the great deluge.
But one chimp there is who refuses to lose his true identity and that is Cadmus, and this fact will soon lead to trouble in masse for ApeCity.
Meanwhile, the great orator Zaius speaks of unity among all Apes, promising the best jobs and the richest rewards to chimps since they did suffer so much from Nature's fury.
But his call for unity rings hollow throughout the Ape community, and when word begins to spread of Cadmus' imprisonment the crowd becomes a mob and the buzz becomes a righteous riot!
And then there is the archeologist Cornelius, who begins quite a tale on ... "ancient chimpanzees."
The pace never slows down and the plot threads pay off in #8, as artist Damian Couceiro turns in panel after panel of great art any film cinematographer would drool over.
New comics come and go, but this sci-fi series remains a quality gem in the crown of

NOTE: Just a quick heads up! You may have to turn up the volume a bit on this one. It is a bit on the quiet side (Unless my speakers are simply terrible and/or broken).
Before someone inevitably asks, the answer is no; this is not Naruto. It isn't related to the song "Sadness and Sorrow" on Naruto, nor did I even watch the anime at the time I wrote this. That is a great song, but this is completely unrelated aside from the coincidental sharing of titles. :P
Now that we've got that out of the way, on to the actual commentary. I wrote this piece long ago, and I've come a long way musically since then. However, I have received several requests to remake this song. I've added a VERY simple intro, a nicer piano soundfont, some strings, and I've tweaked the volume in a few spots. I think it sounds a lot better, but you can compare if you'd like.
Anyhow, I look forward to your comments! I would love to know your opinion, how I might improve this, or even what you imagine as you listen to this music. I read and respond to every review, so don't shy away! XD
Thanks in advance, and enjoy. :)
PS. I really need a decent strings sample for free. I have been using the string soundfont that comes with the FL Studio demo, but I can't stand it anymore. Know of any good samples for free?
