HIGHLAND — In the first quarter, the Central Cougars were both fast and furious.
The Cougars rolled out to a 20-2 lead in beating the Okawville Rockets 61-42 Tuesday in the Scott Credit Union Highland Girls Basketball Tournament.
"We played really well in the first quarter," Central coach Nathan Rueter said. "We got out and kind of got on them. We made some baskets in transition and executed very well offensively.''
Rueter's only wish is that the Cougars would keep up that breakneck pace longer than one quarter.
"We do need to do a better job of finding a way to sustain that,'' Rueter said. "We're a lot of fun to watch when we're that way, and we score a lot of easy baskets when we're that way. I don't know. I'll have to talk to the cross country coach about getting more of them out for cross country.''
The Cougars led 13-0 before the Rockets could catch their breath.
"I think Central is clicking right now," Okawville coach Michelle Hasheider-Burianek said. "You have to give them credit. They came out with a great game plan, and they executed it to a 'T.' I don't think they could have executed it any better.''
The Cougars, 21-2 and ranked No. 3 in the state in Class 2A, will play the Mater Dei Knights, 19-1 and ranked seventh in Class 3A, at 8 p.m. Thursday in the semifinal round of the tourney.
The Cougars got 17 points from freshman Kendra Wilken, 13 points from Maddie Timmermann and 12 points from April Gebke.
The Rockets played evenly with the Cougars after the first quarter, but they were never able to make up for the bad start.
"I'm hoping this game is something we can learn from,'' Hasheider-Burianek said. "We can learn how to keep fighting, and that's something we did in the second half. We didn't roll over, we kept fighting.''
The Rockets were led by Janel Lake with 14 points and Megan Wienstroer with eight points.
The Rockets (16-6) will play the Teutopolis Wooden Shoes (18-5) at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the semifinal round of the fifth-place bracket.
Mater Dei 51, Teutopolis 40
Paige Richards and Emily Koelling each had 12 points and Jamie Voss had nine points as Mater Dei got past Teutopolis.
The Knights led 28-18 at halftime. They built up a 40-20 advantage by going on a 12-2 run at the start of the third quarter.
The Wooden Shoes crept within eight points on two free throws by Cierra Thompson with 1:56 to go.
Voss scored inside with 1:11 left, but Cassidy Lohman made two free throws with 44 seconds on the clock.
Richards sealed the win with two free throws with 19 seconds remaining.
"T-Town always plays us hard,'' Mater Dei coach Dave Kohnen said. "They were jumping in the passing lanes. They were gambling. They were down 15-16, they had nothing to lose. It paid off for them at times. We made some mistakes, but at this time of the year, I'm not going to complain. I think we beat a very good team by 11 points.''
Madeline Harke pumped in 19 points for the Wooden Shoes.
Highland 58, Vandalia 40
A balanced scoring attack -- five players scored eight or more points -- and a fourth-quarter defensive push enabled the Highland Bulldogs to beat the Vandalia Vandals.
Olivia LaPorta paced the Bulldogs with 11 points, followed by Hannah Hartlieb with 10 points, Emily Holtzclaw with nine points and Mackenzie Kleinmann and Bailey Leitschuh with eight points.
"From the beginning of the season, we've said we have eight to 10 girls who on any given night can step up and score for us,'' Highland coach Stephanie Harris said. "We're very balanced. That's what makes us good. We have versatility, we've got different players who can step up and knock down shots.''
The Bulldogs (9-11) will play Nokomis Redskins (13-8) at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the semifinal round of the consolation bracket.
The Bulldogs held a 33-27 lead going into the fourth quarter, but they used their press to outscore the Vandals 25-13 in the final period.
Harris said the threat of a 6 a.m. practice on Wednesday brought out her team's killer instinct.
"It's sad it has to be the fourth quarter after I threaten a 6 a.m. practice the next day,'' Harris said. "I don't care if it's a stink'in win or not. If you can't play the way you are capable of playing, then we'll just come in practice. I don't care if we have a game. We have plenty to work on.''
Vandalia senior guard Amber Bruno led all scorers in the game with 19 points, including four 3-pointers. Morgan Cripe added nine points.
The loss eliminated the Vandals (8-13) from the tourney.
Nokomis 61, O'Fallon 44
Sophomore forward Ashley Schneider scored 25 points as Nokomis knocked the O'Fallon Panthers out of the tourney.
The Panthers (5-12) were playing without junior guard Jasmine Bonds, who is sidelined with a concussion. Bonds averages a team-leading 15.6 points per game.
The Panthers fell behind 9-0 at the start, but cut their deficit to 15-10 by the end of the first quarter.
The Redskins scored six unanswered points at the start of the second quarter to go up 21-10 and they extended their advantage to 31-18 by halftime.
Blair Butler and Ciara Jones each had 11 points for the Panthers.

HHC will find $600 million in savings and reduce the workforce by 10 percent to protect the long term future of the Citys health care safety net system.
News reporters had a number of questions for HHC President Aviles after he announced the restructuring and cost-containment plan. Read his answers.
HHCs large outpatient care operation helps keep communities healthy and that will not change even as the public hospital system acts to meet its financial obligation to close a daunting budget gap.
Frank Cirillo is the can-do manager whose extensive knowledge of the NYC public hospital system was invaluable as he led the team that developed HHCs restructuring and cost-containment plan.

There's a lot of work involved with this menu, but fear not. Read through these recipes and you'll discover that much of this food can be made days and even weeks in advance of Thanksgiving Day, leaving you to focus your full attention on your turkey, your gravy and your guests.
Pumpkin Soup With Fig Quenelles and Prosciutto
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice the pumpkins or squashes in half and place cut side down on a sheet pan with just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Bake for about an hour, or until a knife passes through easily. During cooking, add hot water to the pan as needed to prevent the bottom of the pumpkin from burning.
Meanwhile, cook the onions, ginger and butter over very low heat in a heavy pot large enough to hold the finished soup. Cook the onions gently for about 50 minutes, until reduced in bulk, and be very careful not to let them burn.
Scoop out the cooked pumpkin and add to the cooked onion mixture. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Puree the soup in small batches in a blender, then return it to the pot. Add the cream and reheat. If it's too thick, add more chicken stock until you reach the desired consistency. Season with salt, brown sugar and nutmeg, to taste, plus a little cayenne if desired. For a more pronounced ginger flavor, bundle some chopped fresh ginger in cheesecloth and squeeze its juice into the soup.
When ready to serve, divide the quenelles among the bowls of soup and garnish with a sprinkling of julienned prosciutto. Serves 12.
Fig Quenelles
Cook the figs slowly in just enough water to cover them, until only one teaspoon of the liquid remains, about 30 minutes. Puree the figs and remaining liquid, along with the rum, in a food processor until smooth. Allow the puree to cool to room temperature before gradually folding in the whipped cream. Chill this mixture until you're ready to use it. Form 24 to 36 quenelles, shaping them between two demitasse spoons.
Roasted Turkey
Remove the giblets, neck and tail piece from the turkey and reserve them for gravy, if desired. Rinse the turkey inside and out with cold water. In a large pot or 5-gallon bucket, stir the salt and 1 gallon of cold water together. Carefully set the turkey into the water and cover the bird by 2 to 3 inches with cold water. Refrigerate or set the turkey in a very cold (32 to 40 degrees F) place for 8 to 12 hours.
Remove the turkey from the brine, rinse well and pat dry with paper towels. Let it sit out at room temperature for an hour, or an hour and a half at most.
Position a rack in the bottom of your oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
In a large bowl, toss together the onion, carrots, celery, thyme, parsley, bay leaf and half the butter. Pack the body and neck cavities loosely with this mixture. Truss the legs together with kitchen twine and secure the neck flap to the back with a couple of trussing pins or sturdy toothpicks. Rub the turkey with half of the remaining butter and set the bird on its side on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast it for 15 minutes, then turn it onto its other side and roast for 15 minutes more. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees F. Soak a large piece of cheesecloth (enough to cover the turkey breast) in the remaining butter, turn the turkey breast-side up and place the cheesecloth over the breast. Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan. Continue roasting, basting with pan juices every 15 to 20 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the breast registers 160 degrees F. Check a meaty section of the thigh, as well; it should also register 160 degrees F. If the breast is cooking too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Total roasting time should be about 2 1/2 hours. Let the turkey rest for 20 to 30 minutes before carving. Reserve the vegetables in the cavity for turkey soup. Serves 10 to 12.
Pear, Chestnut and Sage Dressing
Note: Wheatleigh chef Peter Platt does not roast turkeys with stuffing in them. To get the dressing to a temperature high enough to kill off bacteria, he explains, he would have to overcook the meat. Furthermore, stuffing cooked in a brined bird tends to come out mushy and salty.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook the onion, carrot and celery over low heat in a little of the butter until soft, about 8 minutes. Combine the pears, chestnuts, sausage, herbs and bread in a large bowl. Add enough of the rest of the butter and stock to lightly moisten the bread without allowing it to become soggy. Handle the dressing gently when mixing. Season to taste, being especially generous with the black pepper.
Spoon the dressing into a buttered shallow baking pan and cover with foil. Bake immediately for about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the temperature of the dressing reaches 160 degrees F. Serves 12.

Taiwan is establishing systems designed to give residents time to avoid the destructive power of typhoons, earthquakes and floods.
In November 2011, Taiwan put the Marine Cable Hosted Observatory, the nation's first undersea seismic observation system, into service. On the seafloor off the country's seismically active northeast coast, the system's tsunami sensors, seismometers and other devices transmit data to the Central Weather Bureau (CWB) over a 45-kilometer cable. Since electronic signals travel faster than seismic waves and tsunamis, the system gives Taiwan a life-saving 10-minute warning for tsunamis coming from that direction as well as a 10-second warning for earthquakes.
Taiwan is one of the few countries to have invested in such a network. The system was constructed through the combined effort of the CWB, Academia Sinica, the country's foremost research institute, and several universities. The CWB has drawn up plans to extend the system to 200 kilometers offshore, which would allow 30 seconds of early warning for earthquakes and 30 minutes for tsunamis. The Legislative Yuan is currently working to establish a funding mechanism for the extension.
Lee Chao-shing (李昭興), a professor at National Taiwan Ocean University's Institute of Applied Geosciences, points out that though they are infrequent, Taiwan has indeed been hit by tsunamis a few times. "If a tsunami does come, the system would give Taiwan extra minutes to turn off its nuclear reactors, evacuate residents and save lives," he says. Lee estimates that casualties could be reduced by 90 percent if people are given five to 10 minutes to evacuate before a tsunami arrives.
While tsunamis are rare, earthquakes are quite familiar to people in Taiwan. In fact, Taiwan's location between the Eurasian and Philippine tectonic plates on the circum-Pacific seismic belt, or Ring of Fire, means that earthquakes are a constant threat. Nevertheless, most of the tens of thousands of earthquakes recorded in Taiwan every year are unnoticeable and cause minimal or no damage.

The tsunami warning system is being extended to give nuclear reactors time to shut down in the event of a tidal wave. (Photo by Central News Agency) Although major earthquakes have occasionally caused great damage and loss of life in Taiwan, they have also played a role in pushing the local development of seismology. In fact, Taiwan is globally recognized as one of the world's most advanced countries in the fields of seismic research and monitoring. With about 800 seismic monitoring stations, including 109 devoted to tracking large movements of the earth's crust, the country has the highest concentration of such facilities in the world.
The dense collection of monitoring stations and their ability to transmit data instantly helped Taiwan establish a system that evaluates and distributes critical information on the magnitude, epicenter and local intensity of earthquakes immediately after they strike. According to CWB Director-General Shin Tzay-chyn (辛在勤), the system is the world's fastest. "We can't forecast earthquakes, so there's not much we can do about damage near the epicenters when earthquakes take place," Shin says. "What we can do is determine which information is critical for use in managing disasters and minimizing further damage." With such information, trains, for example, can be stopped to avoid going into an area where the tracks might have been damaged, and rescue and relief operations can be organized immediately.
The CWB started researching earthquake warning systems in 1994 and put the Taiwan Rapid Earthquake Information Release System (TREIRS) into service three years later. When the September 21, 1999 earthquake struck, it took the CWB just 102 seconds to receive data from the monitoring stations and analyze the information to determine the quake's epicenter, strength and depth. After the analysis was complete, the CWB began issuing timely warnings through TREIRS, which meant that fire departments were ready to go 10 minutes after the quake and the Central Emergency Operation Center could begin overseeing the response within 20 minutes. According to K.W. Kuo (郭鎧紋), director of the CWB's Seismological Center, researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey told him that collecting raw data from monitoring systems in the United States would have taken approximately 30 minutes.
The monitoring system has continued to improve since the 921 Earthquake, as the Seismological Center can now evaluate raw data from sensing stations in 30 seconds. "The efficiency of our system relies on the large number of monitoring devices," Kuo says. "More than 1,000 seismometers, sensors and GPS systems have equipped Taiwan with the world's most extensive seismic monitoring system."
The three to four typhoons that strike Taiwan each year can cause loss of life and serious property damage. (Photo Courtesy of Central Weather Bureau) Earthquakes and tsunamis are not the only natural disasters that Taiwan must deal with, as typhoons, landslides and floods also cause significant personal harm and economic loss. The usual three to four typhoons that strike Taiwan each year cause an average combined loss of NT$20 billion (US$667 million). Chen Liang-chun (陳亮全) is director of the National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction (NCDR). Chen notes the World Bank's 2005 survey Natural Disaster Hotspots—A Global Risk Analysis found that Taiwan is more vulnerable to natural hazards than any other country in the world. According to the survey, the most common hazards afflicting the world are debris flows like landslides and mudslides, earthquakes, droughts, floods and typhoons. Around 90 percent of Taiwan's residents face the potential threat of three of those hazards, while 73 percent are threatened by two, the survey found.
Until recent decades, Taiwan devoted most of its resources to coping with the loss of life and property caused by natural disasters rather than to taking action to prevent and reduce their impact. The National Science Council (NSC) began promoting and funding university research on preventing large-scale disasters in 1982. "Both the government and the private sector began to research disaster prevention and response," Chen says. "The result, however, turned out to be less than adequate." One of the reasons for that inadequacy, Chen explains, was the lack of a lead agency responsible for organizing and directing projects run by individual agencies and universities. The lack of organization led to redundancy and missing links, as each government unit and school focused on conducting its own research. To coordinate research efforts, in 1997 the NSC initiated the National Science and Technology Program for Hazards Mitigation, which undertook data collection and mitigation measures for major threats such as earthquakes and typhoons.
A look at recent history shows that Taiwan's research on natural disasters usually receives an extra "push" after a major event has occurred. The decision to launch a national program for mitigation of natural hazards, for example, was made at the 5th National Science and Technology Conference in September 1996—about six weeks after Taiwan was hit by Typhoon Herb, which caused more than 50 deaths and an estimated economic loss of more than NT$30 billion (US$1 billion). While Typhoon Herb might have given impetus to the national-level natural hazard mitigation program, the 921 Earthquake prompted the government to strengthen disaster response systems, regulations and technology. Chen believes the most important government effort was the passage of the Disaster Prevention and Protection Act in July 2000. "By setting out the responsibilities of different agencies and levels of governments, it organized a functional disaster prevention system," he says.

Government units were also created and refocused in the wake of the 921 Earthquake. The year 2000, for example, saw the establishment of the National Disaster Prevention and Protection Commission under the Executive Yuan. In 2003, the NSC office overseeing the National Science and Technology Program for Hazards Mitigation was expanded to become the NCDR, which is responsible for promoting research and development, technical support and the use of technology in the sector.
Several key research projects targeting the prevention and reduction of natural hazards were also initiated in the early 2000s. In 2003, for example, a major international project for the study of severe storms saw teams of weather scientists from Taiwan and the United States join forces to carry out an ongoing series of reconnaissance flights aimed at improving the accuracy of typhoon forecasting. The project, named Dropwindsonde Observation for Typhoon Surveillance near the Taiwan Region (DOTSTAR), conducts airborne data-gathering missions around tropical storm systems. The data is then sent to the CWB, which uses it for typhoon forecasting. By the end of 2011, the project had made 55 flights in the vicinity of 42 typhoons. According to Wu Chun-chieh (吳俊傑), project leader and a professor at National Taiwan University's Department of Atmospheric Sciences, DOTSTAR's data collection and analysis help make typhoon forecasting 20 percent more accurate.
The torrential rain that accompanies typhoons can result in disastrous debris flows when it falls in areas that have steep topography or have seen inappropriate development. In fact, debris flows often cause more destruction than any other natural hazard. Most losses of life and property during Typhoon Morakot in 2009, for example, resulted from debris flows triggered by heavy rain. According to the Debris Flow Disaster Prevention Center under the Council of Agriculture's Water and Soil Conservation Bureau (WSCB), more than 1,500 locations in Taiwan are susceptible to debris flows.
Data from the Central Weather Bureau's rainfall monitoring system is overlaid on Google Maps to provide a warning for residents of high-risk areas. (Photo by Central News Agency) Taiwan's debris flow countermeasures include constructing barriers as well as identifying and monitoring vulnerable areas. Dozens of rainfall monitoring stations set up in high-risk areas send data to the Debris Flow Disaster Prevention Center, which analyzes the information and issues warnings when needed. The center posts video taken by cameras at the monitoring stations and information about debris flows and countermeasures online.
While the data helps, it cannot tame the power of nature. "It's impractical, if not impossible, to prevent debris flows completely. It's just a matter of time until the next one occurs," says Jan Chyan-ding (詹錢登), a professor who works for the Disaster Prevention Research Center at National Cheng Kung University in Tainan City, southern Taiwan. Jan's unit has been working with the WSCB on research related to debris flows since 1990. "Still, by making use of all the tools at our disposal, perhaps we can help soften the consequences and minimize losses of life and property." While debris flows caused by Typhoon Morakot took hundreds of lives, the WSCB says the monitoring system saved more than 800 residents in the disaster area by providing an early warning that led to their timely evacuation.
Taiwan's local governments prepare for natural disasters in high-risk areas by practicing emergency response measures, educating residents in hazard mitigation techniques and familiarizing them with evacuation routes and shelters. "In any disaster, the first ones affected are always local residents and local governments," the NCDR's Chen says. "That's why their knowledge and capabilities in the field play a critical role in mitigating natural hazards." In 2011, the NCDR launched a four-year project to improve the ability of local governments to manage natural disasters. The scheme analyzes and evaluates the disaster prevention, relief and reconstruction capabilities of local agencies.
Advancements in disaster management and monitoring systems help save lives by enabling timely evacuation and rescue operations. (Photo by Central News Agency) Chen warns that more often than not, a natural disaster causes multiple hazards. Typhoons, for example, not only set off debris flows, but also cause extensive flooding. To make matters worse, in recent years Taiwan has experienced heavier rainfall over fewer days, which leads to an obvious increase in the threat of flooding. Similar to its efforts targeting debris slides, Taiwan has set up warning systems in areas with high flood risk, drawn up evacuation plans and invested in building flood control structures like dams and flood walls. In Chen's view, however, urban areas present the greatest challenge for Taiwan's flood mitigation efforts. He notes that because they lack adequate sewerage systems, most of Taiwan's urban areas are vulnerable to flooding during heavy rainfall.
Emerging Threats
While Taiwan already has its hands full in dealing with natural hazards like earthquakes and typhoons, new threats are emerging. One of the most alarming is climate change, which could lead to even more intense rainfall and thus flooding and debris slides. "The temperature in Taiwan has risen twice as much as the world's average, so we're likely to be among the first to deal with the consequences," Chen says. "It means relevant data needs to be renewed and disaster prevention projects need to be revised. Doing those things is an urgent matter." While many institutions such as the NCDR have been conducting research on climate change and its relation to natural disasters, the problem is time, or rather the lack of it.
Mitigating natural hazards requires an integrated effort that includes everything from gathering and analyzing data, assessing risk and simulating disaster scenarios to land use planning, establishing regulations and standards, coordinating available resources and educating those in susceptible areas. The goal of this complicated and long-term effort is giving the public a few more precious minutes or even seconds before a disaster strikes. The clock is always ticking, but Taiwan is working overtime to meet the challenges of its natural environment.

Tips for managing diabetes at work
By Nancy Klobassa Davidson, R.N., and Peggy Moreland, R.N.

When you were first diagnosed with diabetes, you were probably told by your doctor or diabetes educator to eat your meals around the same time each day, check your blood sugar at certain times, and get regular exercise and consistent sleep. But what if you work a rotating shift and your hours may be all over the clock?
You might work 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 hours shifts varying days a week. Throw in some overtime and you may forget what day of the week it is, let alone remember whether or not you have taken your diabetes medication when you should have.
It might be more difficult for people with type I diabetes to work different shifts than a person with type 2 diabetes, but there a few oral diabetes medications (sulfonylureas that stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin) that can cause you to have a low blood sugar.
Here are some tips to managing diabetes at work:
- Speak with your physician or diabetes educator on how to manage your diet, exercise, medication, and self-monitoring at work.
- Keep a detailed paper record — record meals, activities, sleep, work hours, medications, and blood sugar. This will help you spot blood sugar patterns so that you will be able to make adjustments as needed.
- Always bring your blood sugar meter with you. Check your blood sugar a few times during the shift to see if you need to raise or lower your blood sugar readings if you are on insulin. You may need to make changes to your diet and medication for each shift that you work.
- Let your supervisor know what your needs are to allow time to take a break to check your blood sugar or to eat a snack.
- Carry a planned snack for every shift in order to maintain your blood sugar. Bring along an extra snack in case your blood sugar drops.
- Match your medications to your meals. Taking your medication regardless of when you eat can lead to swings in blood sugar levels and low blood sugars. Talk to your doctor if you are having swings in blood sugars (highs and lows). He or she may consider switching you to long-acting insulin or extended release medication.
- If you are physically active at work be aware of the effect of physical activity on your blood sugar. Physical activity means that your blood sugar is absorbed more quickly and you may experience a low blood sugar and you may need to adjust your eating schedule accordingly.
By being prepared you'll be set to go. We look forward to hearing your experiences and tips.

McMillan, Wendy; Parker, M.E. (Routledge, 2005)[more][less]
Abstract: This paper discusses quality evaluation of health sciences mentoring programmes. The discussion highlights the way in which perceptions of what constitutes quality shape evaluative purposes. Potential tensions between the evaluative purposes of various stakeholders are brought to the fore. To this end, the discussion explores the ways in which accountability shapes the evaluative purposes of funders and how the desire for programme knowledge and development frames the evaluative purposes of academics. Various approaches to programme evaluation are examined. The potential of reflective practice as a tool for examining quality for knowledge and development of programmes is considered. The paper concludes by presenting a framework for evaluating various aspects of quality in mentoring programmes. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/85 Files in this item: 1

McMillan, Wendy (Routledge, 2007)[more][less]
Abstract: Background: Current literature calls for the explicit teaching to health-science educators of the skills, knowledge and dispositions that are required for successful teaching in higher education. Aims: This paper draws on evidence from an Oral Hygiene department at a South African university in order to illustrate these teaching-competency needs. Insights from the evidence are synthesised with current literature regarding best teaching practice, in support of an appropriate framework for the development of teaching competencies to health-science educators. Description: A qualitative approach, using a case study, was adopted. The cohort comprised fifteen students in the first-year Oral Hygiene cohort class and the ten educators who taught their programme. Data was collected through semistructured interviews and open-ended questionnaires. The topics that emerged from the combined analysis of the interviews and the questionnaires were organised into a grid so that common themes could be identified. Current literature regarding teaching and learning was used as a framework for interpreting the empirical evidence, from which three categories emerged. The first category included suggestions from students regarding what to do to teach better. A review of the literature indicates that these competencies can be effectively learnt from self-help guides. The second category included requests for skills development. Literature review suggests that these might effectively be learnt from single-event workshops facilitated by more able peers. Responses in the final category highlighted the need for an underpinning theory of teaching and learning, and signalled the need for a more theoretically grounded and detailed approach to teacher development. Conclusion: The framework developed from the empirical study and current literature makes it possible for individual clinical teachers, and staff developers, to construct teaching-competency development plans that are pertinent to individual teachers' needs, relevant and practical, educationally sound, and cost-effective in terms of time and effort.

By Roger Mercer
Dear Roger: This photo is from a concrete pot containing vinca flowers. The pots line Main Street in St. Pauls. This one is outside a beauty salon. The owner came in one day and just handed the stringy stuff to me and said, "What's this?"
I didn't recognize it as organic, at first. I thought it was a joke. It reminds me of a product from long ago called Silly String. It feels sort of rubbery or plasticlike.
It has various colors: yellow, orange and green. It wraps around the stems of the stems of the flowers and just chokes them. It doesn't have roots in the ground, so I assume it is parasitic.
Have you ever seen anything like it before? My first thought was how dramatic the damage could be if it got into a crop field. What do you recommend for getting rid of this?
Dear Miriam: Your Silly String plant is called dodder. And you are right. It is a parasite.
The botanical genus name is cuscuta or grammica.
Two species that I know of grow in our region. All dodders are related to morning glories. They all share several traits. They are bright yellow to orange-yellow or, rarely, greenish. They make tiny, scale-like leaves that are not recognizable as leaves. They lose their soil-borne roots soon after the seeds sprout.
And they suck life-giving sugars and minerals out of green plants. They don't even take up their own water. They siphon it out of host plants. That's why the vincas wilt at the point of attack.
Dodders wrap themselves around plants and insert feeding tubes. The tubes are actually modified roots that grow into the plant's victims.
Dodder can attack hundreds of plant species. It prefers whatever is producing rapid, soft, richly green growth. But it must attack something soon after it sprouts or die. It cannot feed itself. So it can be found on most any type of plant.
Among decorative plants, it especially likes chrysanthemums, dahlia, Virginia creeper, trumpet vine and petunias. It also apparently likes vincas.
The correct name for the annual vinca isCatharanthus ruber, by the way. Vincas are evergreen perennial creepers that bear blue to purple flowers in spring. Sometimes the flowers are white. Two species are grown as ground covers:Vinca majorandVinca minor. Major has larger leaves and flowers than minor.
I first noticed dodder when I was about 12 years old and living in Graham. I was fascinated by the plant. I even thought it was a little bit appealing, until I found out it was attacking my carefully tended petunias.
That's when I discovered you can't easily pull dodder off petunias without damaging the petunias. Every little bit of dodder that you don't pull off will keep growing and attacking. And it will make thousands of seeds to infuriate you the next year.
Dodder is an annual. One way to stop it and prevent its return is to pull up any plant you see it on. Do that right away, before the seeds form, and there will be no dodder the next year.
Dodder seeds usually are brought in on dirt, mulches and manures. If dodder seeds do drop, they can survive for five years or more.
If your dodder does go to seed, use a pre-emergent herbicide in the spring to kill it as it sprouts. Apply by March 1 to make sure the seeds have not already sprouted.
One important reason to eradicate this weed is to protect nearby agricultural crops. Dodder severely damages fields in big patches.
Pre-emergent herbicides applied to the soil in the spring before the seeds sprout will eliminate this pest for the year. Turning the soil, however, can expose new seeds the next year. Follow label directions.
Pulling and destroying dodder-infected plants is a good idea. Dodder must be destroyed before it produces seeds, or infestations will spread. Once established, dodder appears in patches in crop fields. Cutting the host plant before the dodder produces seed helps reduce the quantity of seed for the following year.
Planting an infested field with immune or resistant crops such as cereals, corn, soybeans, velvetbeans or cowpeas helps control dodder.
The use of a general herbicide or contact herbicide on infected hosts and dodder plants will kill both established parasitic plants and the hosts.
Besides dodder, common names of this plant include strangleweed, devil's guts, goldthread, hellbine, hairweed and devil's hair, which is what I could call my own hair when I try to comb it some mornings.

*standing in line at the supermarket. Sees tabloid headlines. Reads "Bachelor Couple Wed July 2013"*
*again standing in line at the supermarket August 2013. Sees tabloid headline. Reads "Bachelor Couple Divorce Emminent. Sexual Incapatability Cited"*
*In line again December,new headline "Sean Shoots Catherine of Bachelor Fame. Claims thought was Burglar "
So he ditched the broad that kept getting herself hurt to gain his attention? I don't watch the show, but saw her on the commercials - what a loser she is, and if he ditched her, that's one point for him anyway.
Yes, absolutely. He made the best and right choice for him. Another wedding coming from this show.
I read the spoilers from the very beginning with "Reality Steve" only because I wanted to, & I feel as If Sean made the wrong choice. I can't see him with this girl Catherine. PERIOD. I doubt if this is going to last even a month. They just don't go well at all. She acts like she's 12 years old. And also if he couldn't make up his mind with these woman towards the end, then "GUESS WHAT" It's simple. this dude is NOT in love with anyone of these women.
You're a douche bag. I'm glad Sean chooses Catherine. It's about time the winner is non-white. You are such a moron.
JD...you're the OBVIOUS moron. I'm guessing you're the prejudice one since you automatically assume that Laine is because she believes Catherine is not the right match for Sean. And it's apparent from your disrespectful comment to her that you're 'trailer trash'!
Your the friggin moron. So because the girl is NOT white, you think that I made a bias remark??? Your so wrong a..hole. And to call me a douche bag. WOW....Your real classy...Your also a friggin WEIRDO. ew
It does not seem as though Sean and Catherine have much of a "connection" beause the producers made the idiotic choice of editing out those clips because of Reality Steves spoilers. They want viewers to be confused - bad move on their part because now Sean's end choice makes no sense whatsoever. No worries, since Sean and Catherine's relationship won't last more than a few months anyway.
They did that teaser..where Sean is standing there reading a letter, hell..i thought he gets stood up!
I wish he would've been left standing there. That letter was SUPPOSED to make watchers think he was going to be 'stood up." It's just another fake moment in a show in which this playboy is given the status of the good guy. He wears no white hat in my book. Des's brother called it right, and I'm glad that was put on camera.
(Thinking ...) These girls competing for this one guy.. and after all this time he has no clue which one he really wants.. Some how that makes no logical sense. If he can't make up his mind by now then NONE of those chicks should bother with his stupid azz. How desperate do those girls have to be to continue on like this? ....Oh yea, I forgot. This is just another Hollywood Reality (fake fraud) Show. The script for which was written last year and this "winner " picked last October. No wonder dude is 1000% confident he's right about who wins...and has never been wrong.
@ tripps - I agree these shows are far from reality and they are for the most part 'scripted'! On the other hand, every Bachelor or Bachelorette show I've ever watched they 'always' say the same thing "at this point I'm not sure who is the one" and then after they propose to the person they 'always' say "I knew from the moment I first saw him/her that he/she was the one, but I couldn't say anything"!
You're absolutely right about these shows being scripted. What I can't figure out is why I kept watching...lol He should have been left with Tiara. That would've served him right. I still think AshLee should be the next bacherlorette and after Catherine leaves Sean, he should be one of her male hopefuls. HAHAHA BUT knowing this show, they'd probably have them winding up together because Sean pleads with her by telling her he'd make a mistake to let her go. And AshLee, with her forgiving heart, proposes to him. Now... the best ending to that scenario is that she stands face to face with him on the last show and as he expects her to say, "I love you, Sean, and want to spend the rest of my life with you," She looks him in the eye with a loving smile on her face and says, "This was an easy decision for me because from the start I knew I wanted to have this moment with you. The moment in which I could tell you goodbye." Now that's an ending that would be ...happily ever after for AshLee.
@ Abby...funny! Needed the laugh (especially your comment about Catherine leaving Sean...

The Middle East and North Africa region is extremely vulnerable to fluctuations in food supplies and prices.

If the Arab Spring taught us something, it is that the effects of climate change can serve as stressors, contributing to regional instability and conflict, experts said.
In a report published last week, researchers from the Center for American Progress, the Center for Climate and Security and the Stimson Center examined the role of climate change in the Middle East's upheaval during 2010 and 2011. Looking at long-term trends in rain, crops, food prices and migration, they were able to determine how these factors contributed to social instability in the region.
"The Arab Spring would likely have come one way or another, but the context in which it did is not inconsequential. Global warming may not have caused the Arab Spring, but it may have made it come earlier," the report says.
The Middle East and North Africa region is extremely vulnerable to fluctuations in food supplies and prices. According to the report, with little arable land and scarce water supplies, the region is one of the top food importers in the world.
In 2010, droughts in Russia, Ukraine, China and Argentina and torrential storms in Canada, Australia and Brazil -- all major wheat and grain producers -- considerably diminished global crops, driving commodity prices up. The region was already dealing with internal sociopolitical, economic and climatic tensions, and the 2010 global food crisis helped drive it over the edge.
But the issue here is much bigger. Because of globalization, regional climate events can have a global extent, the report says. What's more, scenarios where weather events unfold economic and political shifts are likely to be repeated as climate volatility, expanding populations and competition for resources disturb national stability, the report says.
National collapse becomes a security threat
According to Michael Werz, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and one of the authors of the report, the argument here is that there are a number of symptoms -- such as food scarcity, water rationing, crops failure, migration and rapid urbanization -- squeezing the margins of what a society can deal with before exploding.
"This is pushing many societies, especially those with a weak state, to their limits," Werz said.
At the launch of the Arab Spring and climate change report, Werz and other foreign affairs experts discussed the challenges of climate change in global stability -- particularly in terms of food and water security and migration -- and how the United States needs to rethink its foreign policy to incorporate these borderless challenges.
"We've gone from a connected world to an interconnected world, and from an interconnected world to an interdependent world," said New York Times foreign affairs columnist Tom Friedman. "When the world is this interdependent, your rivals failing is much more dangerous than your rivals rising," he said.
According to Friedman, U.S. foreign policy is so caught up in the Cold War model -- of strategic competition between superpowers -- that it's missing the real security issue of the current world.
"We are not worried that Egypt is going to become an ally of the Soviet Union; we are worried that Egypt is going to collapse, which in an interdependent world is a threat," Friedman said.
In a 2011 article in The Atlantic, former Department of State Director of Policy Planning Anne-Marie Slaughter explained how the international environment had changed in the last century.
"The Cold War world was like chess. The 21st century world is more like tennis, where the wind, heat, possible rain delay and your opponent's relative health and form on any given day all affect the speed, trajectory and spin on the ball coming at you," she wrote.

Dating & Single Living
Cyber stalking? I don't think so. He doesn't know I'm doing it, and I am not making any contact with him. Research? Mmmm, yeah.
If I google someone, I don't think I'm invading his privacy. The ones who invade his privacy are the ones who post personal information on the web: the individuals themselves, their friends, their employers, etc..
Good info.
I was contacted by a guy on another site, and something about him just didn't ring true. In the second email he gave me his full name and his child's name, and told me his wife's name -- she had died a year previously. I googled and could not find an online obituary for her anywhere (and nowadays nearly every death has one). A message or two later it was clear he was a phony.
I agree it is IMHO cyber stalking. That sort of invasion of someone's privacy is not warranted. I think in the internet age some people think that they have the right too much of people's information. By all means protect yourself and remain cautious but treat each other with respect as well.
What do you mean? How am I being having any benefits over a woman in this regard?
You are right, Kate. I never thought of it from that perspective. Your children have a wise mother
I think this is a great point. I would like to suggest in addition to Googling someone, to also check state and county records. There are ways for people to modify their personal records, but the government records are documented by law. Do not forget to check out the records held within the county being currently resided in, but neighboring counties too.
I think we can state the obvious ad nauseum but from taking a quick look at the responses to this subject, I think people either miss the subject completely or are hyper-sensitive to it.
I think this thread could be summed up pretty easily:
If two people are meeting for the first time it is in the interest of each person to uncover any negative information about the other person (to the extent that it is legally possible) because either person might be out to swindle or harm the other. Women have to be especially careful in the event of the latter possibility because of the normal differences in strength between a man and a woman; the woman is usually at a disadvantage if she has to physically protect herself or her children.
I'm done here; good night.
No I'm not, but as I recall that wasn't part of the OP's question. By the way, would a woman be less likely to sniff out a axe murderer?
Let's hope for your sake that you are an excellent judge of character ;)

House sellers and estate agents around the UK have been given good news at last, with the report from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) saying that prices have risen in the last year. The governmental department figures have shown that the average value of a house across the country has risen by 2.3 per cent over the last year. This comes in spite of news from Nationwide and the Land Registry reporting poor outcomes so far in 2012. Much of the increase in prices has been credited to better than average prices in the likes of the South West and South East, where sales were being completed at 2.3 per cent and 2.2 per cent higher than last year respectively. It was also recently reported by AdZunda that the most expensive town in the whole of the UK is now Guildford, where the average home costs seven times a couple's yearly earnings.

What type of hunting rifle and what price range?
Walmart has Remington 700 ADLs for under $400. You can find them used at gunshows for a little less.
Savage 110
Remington 700
Winchester Model 70
those cover the main bolt-action players. Each has an economy model all the way up through custom-shop works of art.
While you can find surplus bolt actions - Nagants around $150 and Mausers around $250, unless you are satisfied with the iron sights, I'd pick something else. They will cost more to put a scope on them then the difference in cost between them and the commercial models.

While there are definitely issues to be thought of when using herbicides and pesticides (but I can't afford organic stuff if I actually want fresh fruits and veggies) I don't think that eating a roundup ready crop is really that problematic.
Problematic from a health standpoint? I don't believe there's any evidence for that. Though it's worth noting that Monsanto won't exactly be beating down the walls to get more studies done once they've got one that says it's all good. The bigger concerns in my mind (with GMO crops in general, and certainly not every GMO crop) are ethical and environmental. Not something to get in a panic about at the supermarket (we've all been eating kiiiind of a lot of GMO soy and corn for kiiiiind of a long time now), but definitely not something to ignore.

Have you ever begged your parents to go to bed? I do once a week.
Usually I refuse to go to sleep. I know exactly what you are thinking at this exact moment. You think about this book "Seriously just go to sleep" from Adam Mansbach and Ricardo Cortes. And you are thinking is there a baby on this planet who wants to go to sleep from his own will? You must be thinking oh yeah maybe this baby wants to go to bed on his Mommy's boob while breastfeeding or maybe he wants to sleep on his Daddy's large chest.
No I am talking about real sleep in my own bed.
I loved co-sleeping with Mommy and Daddy the first three months of my life but after three months it was either I was waking them up while moving in the middle of the night or they were waking me up by moving. Co-sleeping wasn't working for either of us anymore.
After these three months, I demanded to stop co-sleeping and to sleep in my own cot, but still in their room. Hey I was not mad!
Btetween my third and my six month, I was happy to sleep in their room. Really happy.
After six months, when I was a 6-month old baby, I could not cope with my parents' snoring anymore, or with them coming into the room every hour to pick something up while I was sleeping after nine o'clock at night. I demanded to go in my own bedroom in my own cot.
Anyway I forgot about the main topic: Begging to go to bed…I will tell you another time as I am tired.
ps: Thank you Daddy to put me to bed everynight. I love you.

The wedding of Joey Tierney and Tony Schubert looked amazing and went off without a hitch. And why not? She's a fashion stylist and designer, and he's an event producer, after all. On September 10, 2011, they said "I do" along the Santa Barbara coastline. It was a memorable day and night filled with love, elegance, and plenty of panache.
The ceremony and reception took place at Villa Sevillano, a private estate with Old World charm in Carpenteria, California.
Joey wore a Jenny Packham gown and veil, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, and Kwiat jewelry. Her groom chose a three-piece John Varvatos tuxedo, which he accessorized with a sharp pocket square and bow tie.
Joey carried a bunch of white garden roses, gardenias, dusty miller, and gray Brazilian berries created by Floral Art.
The little ladies wore Bonpoint dresses and head wreaths by Floral Art.
Tony surprised the bride with a pair of dancing white horses. They flanked the ceremony entryway as guests arrived.
The bride's nephew, Owen, wore a tuxedo from La Miniatura and carried a box engraved with "The Schuberts 9.10.11."
Joey was escorted by her grandfather, Joe Middleton, down the bamboo-covered aisle lined with topiaries. For her debut song, she chose "Oh My Love" by John Lennon, played by a string quintet from West Coast Music.
Because the couple wanted to wait until the ceremony to see each other, they posed for Amy & Stuart Photography afterward, on the property's long driveway.
Flutes of Veuve Clicquot, with raspberries or lavender, were also sipped.
The four-course meal, prepared by The Food Matters, began with an amuse bouche of seared tuna with avocado, watermelon, and jalapeno. An heirloom tomato salad topped with burrata, microgreens, and house-made basil oil followed. Next, a choice of three entrees: grilled filet mignon with peppercorn sauce, pommes puree, and carrot matchsticks; oven-roasted sea bass with artichoke caponata over sweet corn polenta; or butternut square tortelloni with asparagus and shaved Parmesan.
It took four days to build the dining area, which rested atop the venue's polo field. It boasted a carpeted floor, tenting, lighting, walls, drapery, lounge areas, and topiaries.
Vintage green glass bottles housed hydrangeas, spider mums, sedum, green figs, and dianthus, while antique mirrored boxes showcased white dahlias and lisianthus. Succulents and candles in gold mercury-glass votives also dotted the tables, which were covered in natural linen and surrounded by leather chairs.
Fresh hydrangea and dusty miller leaves accented a French vanilla cake with berries made by Montecito Cakes.

Temporomandibular joint |
The temporomandibular (tem-puh-roe-mun-DIB-u-lur) joint (TMJ) acts like a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. TMJ disorders can cause pain in your jaw joint and in the muscles that control jaw movement.
The exact cause of a person's TMJ disorder is often difficult to determine. Your pain may be due to a combination of problems, such as arthritis or jaw injury. Some people who have jaw pain also tend to clench or grind their teeth, but many people habitually clench their teeth and never develop TMJ disorders.
In most cases, the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders can be alleviated with self-managed care or nonsurgical treatments. Severe TMJ disorders may require surgical repair.

Poet's Tree-By:Shel Silverstein
Underneath the Poet Tree
Come and rest awhile with me,
And watch the way the word-web weaves
Between the shady story leaves.
The branches of the Poet Tree
Reach from the mountains to the sea.
So come and dream, or come and climb--
Just don't get hit by falling rhymes.
-Shel Silverstein
I enjoy this poem because I love rhyme, and when I read it, I feel like I'm in the picture....

The usual week end struggle of the anarchists against the wall with the grassroots popular committees was interwoven with the hunger strike of Palestinian administrative prisoners. After two strikers were released when their lives were in imminent danger, the hunger strike collected momentum in prison and out, as the few hundreds of administrative prisoners were joined by more than thousand of other Palestinian prisoners in Israeli concentration camps and prisons. Demonstrations occur daily and some of them within the 1948 borders of Israel. The Israeli state intensify the repression of both the prisoners, the demonstrations in support of them in the occupied territories, and even within Israel. The peak within Israel was the arrest and physical harassment of 17 of our comrades who were protesting in front of the prison hospital in Ramle, where two striker are dying. "The High Court of Justice" of Israel rejected the petition filed by hunger striking administrative detainees Bilal Diab and Thaer Halahla to release them immediately. The two have been refusing to eat for 70 days and doctors fear for their lives." |
