For families facing financial challenges, the costs for school supplies can be stressful. The National Retail Federation's 2012 Back-to-College Survey conducted by BIGinsight shows the average person with children in grades K-12 will spend approximately $95.44 on school supplies, such as notebooks, pencils and backpacks.
"For the CFVC, providing school supplies for the 128 children living in the transitional housing would have been a struggle if it were not these great students," said Meg Rogers, executive director of the CFVC and active member of the Georgia Commission on Family Violence.
Student project manager Lyndsey Little, under the direction of instructor Diane Petty, helped to raise dozens of school supplies aimed at helping families facing economic hardships.
"In my project management course, students are introduced to project management skills and how they can be put to use in real life", explained Petty. "I teach the project management class every summer. Every year I encourage my class to choose a local community service project which they will work toward assisting as a class. Last summer we raised over 500 canned food items for the Cherokee Senior Center."
The effort started with Little who, after working for the CFVC as a child advocate, proposed the idea of collecting school supplies for the children at the center to her project management classmates.
Petty explained that Lyndsey "introduced the idea of raising school supplies in view of the fact that the beginning of school is approaching. The class as a whole decided to do the community service, and chose Lyndsey to be the student project manager."
The 10 students placed donation boxes in a variety of locations where people would drop off a selection of school supplies. According to Little, the boxes were "placed in the campuses of Marietta, Woodstock, Canton, Paulding and some other places."
The initial goal of the class was to collect 50 backpacks filled with supplies.
"We were able to collect 62 bags, which was a great result. They really needed these school supplies, especially after the budget cuts on the center," explained Little.
As with many programs and organizations, the CFVC received major budget cuts this past year from a number of their primary sponsors.
According to Rogers, the CFVC "lost about $17,000 from United Way, about $10,000 from state funding, and a $300,000 grant from the Office of Violence Against Women."
Little said the center has "no child advocates at the moment."
She explained the center's budget was cut last September and they lost the three child advocates they had at the time.
Though the drive came to an end in mid-July, Little was pleased to say "people have continued to donate school supplies. I'm very happy and excited to see people being generous. It's a great contribution."
In total, the students were not only able to provide 62 backpacks filled with school supplies, but were able to collect dozens of miscellaneous items.
"I'm very proud of my students," said Petty. "It's important for students to learn project management skills, but more importantly they need to be aware of how they can help out and give back to their local community."
The Cherokee Family Violence Center is actively looking for volunteers and provides quarterly volunteer training opportunities for those wanting to help.

H. R. 1380 Clean Energy T. Boone Pickens wanted to create green jobs but Blake Farenthold opposed it so the Koch Brothers aka - Oil can keep there Billion Dollar Subsidies.The Koch Brothers needed to know where Farenthold loyalties were, was it jobs or oil - it was OIL. 17 other Republican lawmakers got PAC money for there loyalty and Farenthold got his $45,000 dollars.
Blake Farenthold said Government cant control Spending but he was OK in voting yes so the Koch brothers can keep there billions in subsidies, so its OK for Republicans to spend and not suffer the consequences.
We need a real congressman who will speak for district 27 not a clown in a pajama suit.
In the fiscal cliff bill, lots of people like nancy pelosi and other Liberal thinksers voted for the raise on millionaires taxes.
They also voted for NASCAR, GE and other companies to get huge tax breaks.
Thought you Liberals were out to make the millionaires pay "their fair share"
This fiscal cliff vote was nothing more then voting for pork.
What a bunch of liars Pelosi and the messiah are.

Last Updated: Feb. 19, 2013 Lauren Netherby-Sewell enters her sixth season as Fresno State's head volleyball coach and continues to chart the Bulldogs' ascent into an nationally-elite program. In her first five seasons at Fresno State, Netherby-Sewell has relied on a tried and true formula emphasizing fighting spirit, dedication and teamwork. In return for their hard work, the `Dogs have climbed in the NCAA's Ratings Performance Index during each of the last five years, and in 2012 staked their best record (18-13) and RPI rating (90) since 2004 and '03, respectively. Netherby-Sewell fostered the development of the program's first Capital One Academic All-American in junior outside hitter Cecilia Agraz and has coached 13 Academic all-conference selections. The Bulldogs were also the only WAC program to earn back-to-back American Volleyball Coaches Association academic honors for 2009-10 and 2010-11 with a team grade point average of over 3.4. Fresno State was the only California State University program, one of three NCAA D-1 schools in the state of California, along with Stanford and California, and one of 92 in the nation honored with the 2010-11 award. By upgrading the Bulldogs' non-conference schedule and restoring the community's passion for traditionally strong program, Netherby-Sewell has inspired record crowds in the Save Mart Center and developed a team focused on fundamentals and primed to play its first season in the Mountain West Conference. Netherby-Sewell introduced the Fighting Spirit Award to Fresno State in 2008, an award begun at Hofstra University by Hall of Fame coach Fran Kalafer. Netherby-Sewell presents the award to an individual or the team on a weekly basis for the best display of a fighting spirit through adversity and challenges. At the end of the season, the individual or team who earns the most awards during the season receives the year-end Fighting Spirit Award and past recipients include Allanah Munson and Baylee Platt (2008), the entire team (2009, '11), Kelly Mason (2010) and Korrin Wild (2012). In 2012, the Bulldogs saw their best season under Netherby-Sewell in more than a decade. The `Dogs finished the year 18-13 and in fourth place in their first season as Mountain West members. The season was highlighted by wins against the PAC-12's Colorado and MW volleyball powers Colorado State and Wyoming. Fresno State spent half the conference season among the top three in the MW standings before finishing in fourth. Two Bulldogs, Wild and Barbara Alcantara, earned MW Player of the Week awards. Alcantara became the first volleyball student-athlete to garner All-MW honors. Under Netherby-Sewell's guidance, Wild and Alcantara were among the best in the nation in service aces and assists, respectively. Wild was 12th in the country with 0.44 aces per set, while Alcantara was 28th in the nation with 11.2 assists per set. In 2011, the 'Dogs maintained their aggressive approach and continued their significant strides resulting in just the second five-set thriller in program history against then third-ranked and national powerhouse Hawai'i in the WAC Tournament Semifinals. Three Bulldogs earned all-conference honors, with Brianna Clarke garnering her fourth all-conference nod as a member of the first-team, Korrin Wild making second team and Maci Murdock being named to the All-WAC Freshman Team. By battling through the early season adversity of losing 2010 second-team all-WAC outside hitter Marissa Brand to a season-ending injury just 11 matches into the year, Netherby-Sewell focused on building on the resolve and tenacity of the squad in shifting the rotation for their impressive postseason run. In 2010, Fresno State delivered a late surge that catapulted the Bulldogs into a tie for sixth in WAC regular season play as Brianna Clarke and Marissa Brand earned second-team All-WAC honors in 2010 and Cecilia Agraz became the 40-plus year program's first CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree. Brand also was honored as a WAC Volleyball Student-Athlete of the Week. Earlier during the 2010 season, the Bulldogs welcomed 2,664 fans to the Save Mart Center for its annual exhibition match with Fresno Pacific. In her second year at Fresno State, coaching with her first complete recruiting class on the court, Netherby-Sewell led the Bulldogs to a remarkable turnaround in 2009 that ended in the WAC semifinals after a fourth place conference finish. Contributing to the best overall record by a Bulldog team since 2004, Clarke and senior Kelly Leonardo earned All-WAC second-team honors, while Brand was named to the All-WAC Freshman team. It was the first time since 2004, that the `Dogs had three All-WAC Selections in one year. It was also the sixth-straight season with an All-WAC Freshman Team honoree. Clarke posted one of the best blocking seasons in school history in 2009, ranking in the top 30 in the NCAA all year in blocks per set. She finished the season with 135 block assists and 158 total blocks to rank second and third in the Fresno State single-season lists. She also ranks fifth in blocks per set with a 1.30 average. At the Save Mart Center in 2009, the `Dogs posted an impressive 7-4 record and their highest home attendance total ever with 18,529 fans. They averaged 1,684 fans per match, another school record, and ranked in the top 30 in the nation in average attendance. In 2008 - her first year with the program in 2008 she guided a pair of freshmen - Platt and Clarke - to WAC All-Freshman team honors, as it was the first time in Fresno State history that two freshmen had made the team in the same season. The `Dogs finished eighth in the regular season WAC standings and earned an opening round victory over Louisiana Tech in the WAC Tournament in Honolulu. That year, Fresno State ranked 30th in the nation in attendance in the newly configured Save Mart Center, averaging just over 1,200 fans per match. Her 2009 recruiting class of Agraz, Brand and Taylor Horton earned honorable mention honors from prepvolleyball.com. It was the first such honor for any Fresno State volleyball team. Netherby-Sewell began her head coaching career at Hofstra University in New York. Netherby-Sewell was named head coach on November 13, 2006 after serving as interim head coach since August 2006 following the retirement of Kalafer. In two seasons, Netherby-Sewell compiled a career coaching record of 43-19 overall and a conference record of 26-6. In her first season at the helm of the program, Netherby-Sewell took a team that lost two starters and led the team to impressive heights. The Pride posted a 24-7 record, a 17-1 conference record and won the Colonial Athletic Association championship for Hofstra's first league title since 2000 (America East). Netherby-Sewell then coached the team to the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament victory, a five-game win over Cornell. Hofstra climbed from 75th in the NCAA RPI rankings at the start of 2006 and finished a program-best 35th. The team was also ranked second in the East Region. Under Netherby-Sewell's tutelage, senior middle blocker Liz Curley became Hofstra's first volleyball All-American while also earning CAA Player of the Year accolades. Setter Shellane Ogoshi repeated as CAA Setter of the Year. Both players also earned first team All-CAA accolades, while Beverly Rivera was a second team all-conference selection. As a result of her team's accomplishments, Netherby-Sewell received National Coach of the Year Honorable Mention from College Volleyball Update. Netherby-Sewell would bring Hofstra back to the CAA title match in 2007 as the Pride compiled a 19-12 season topped off by a 9-5 record in conference action. It marked Hofstra's first back-to-back title match appearances since the 1999 and 2000 squads won the America East. Three Pride players were honored by the CAA as Ogoshi was an All-CAA first team selection, junior outside hitter Lauren Engle garnered second team accolades and senior middle blocker Amanda Beyersdorff was a third team honoree. Ogoshi and Engle were also named to the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District I first team, while Ogoshi closed her career number one on the career assists and digs chart. Netherby-Sewell joined the Pride staff after serving two seasons as an assistant volleyball coach at Columbia University, where she was also pursuing her master's degree in physical education. In her only season as an assistant coach, Netherby-Sewell helped lead the Pride to a 19-8 record and a regular season Colonial Athletic Association championship and assisted in training the 2005 Colonial Athletic Association Setter and Player of the Year (Shellane Ogoshi) and three all-conference selections (Ogoshi, Tessa Sphar and Talita Silva). In her two seasons at Columbia, Netherby-Sewell assisted with the training of student-athletes, planned practices, handled team travel arrangements and served as the recruiting coordinator. Her first recruiting class in 2004 helped the Lions add three victories to their win total from 2003, and her 2005 recruiting class, which included All-Ivy freshman Amalia Viti, helped Columbia double their 2004 victory total. In addition to her experience at Columbia, Netherby-Sewell served as head coach of the Club Asics Long Island 17-1's team spring 2005 and led the squad to three first place finishes. In 2000 she assisted in the training for the Sierra Nevada Volleyball Club's 18-1's squad. Following graduation, Netherby-Sewell was a marketing coordinator and assistant art director for the Breckenridge Group, a restaurant management firm. She helped create local marketing and advertising campaigns. Among her clients were On the Border, Applebee's and Burger King. In April 2002, she founded her own advertising agency, Netherby Advertising, which developed, designed and executed advertising plans for the Breckenridge Group. Netherby-Sewell graduated of the University of Nevada in 2001 with a degree in advertising and journalism. She was a starter on the 1998 Wolf Pack team that received recognition in the top 25, won the Eastern Division of the Big West Conference and earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament. A captain in 1999, she was named MVP at the Duke University Tournament and garnered several other all-tournament honors. Netherby-Sewell still holds the Nevada single-match record for kills with 32, which she set against New Mexico State on October 8, 1998. She enjoyed her finest season in 1998, when she returned from off-season heart surgery to post career-highs of 378 kills, 252 digs, 44 service aces (which ranked second in the Big West) and 41 1/2 blocks. The 378 kills ranks 10th on Nevada's single season list, while her 44 aces are sixth in single season history. Netherby-Sewell is also represented on the Wolf Pack's career record list, where she is eighth in kills (767) and 10th in service aces (87). While an undergraduate at Nevada, Netherby-Sewell interned in the Wolf Pack athletic department, assisting in marketing and event coordination. She assisted in the organization and production of the Sixth Annual Salute to Champions Dinner and Silent Auction that featured Olympic softball gold medalist Dot Richardson, and raised a significant amount of money for the women's athletics program at Nevada. A native of San Clemente, California, Netherby-Sewell was a standout at San Clemente High School and for the Laguna Beach Volleyball Club. She is married to James Sewell, a Special Assistant to the Athletics staff at Fresno State and a native of Long Island, N.Y. The Sewells welcomed their first child, son Walter, in January 2012.
*In 2011, the team finished 14-15 (7-7 WAC), but Netherby-Sewell was not the acting head coach for two games due to travel restrictions related to her pregnancy. |

Tuesday, Dec 39:20 AMJanney Capital, Stephens defend Krispy Kreme after FQ3
- Shares of Krispy Kreme (KKD) are down 16.3% in pre-market trading after the company's FQ3 results and FY15 guidance failed to live up to sky-high expectations, but Janney Capital's Mark Kalinowski reiterates a Buy rating and $30 PT. He observes "As it turns out, seven domestic franchisees grew their same-store sales by 20% or more."
- Stephens joins Janney on the defense with an Overweight rating and a raised PT to $25. The firm cited across-the-board acceleration despite the quarter's company-owned same store sales miss.

Monday, Dec 24:22 PMKrispy Kreme -8.6% AH; FQ3, FY15 guidance no pie in the sky
- Krispy Kreme (KKD) shares fall 8.6% in AH trading on the back of a one cent EPS beat and miss on the top line in FQ3. The results and subsequent reaction appear thus far to be a deja vu of FQ2, when investors who had priced shares to perfection sent them plunging following a mixed quarter.
- Comparable same store sales rose 3.7% Y/Y, the 12th consecutive quarterly increase, driven "principally by retail price increases."
- Domestic franchise revenue grew 20% to $3M, driven by higher royalties; international franchise revenue was up 3% to $6.2M for the same reason.
- Management bumped its FY2014 EPS range to $0.60-$0.63 from $0.59-$0.63 (vs. analyst consensus of $0.63). FY2015 EPS is seen at $0.71-$0.76 (below consensus of $0.77). KKD expects to open 10-15 company stores, 20-25 domestic franchises, and ~85 international franchises in FY2015.

RM Auctions Off Millions in Classic Ferraris and More at Monaco Historic
The Grand Prix de Monaco Historique just wrapped up this weekend in Monte Carlo, and Canadian firm RM Auctions was there to set new records with a slew of million-dollar classic automobiles.
In its first time at the iconic Monaco weekend, RM managed to rake in a whopping €33,235,917 ($45 million) in sales, matching the all-time record for single-day auction results... incidentally set three years ago at RM's own event at the Ferrari factory in Maranello. And once again it was classic Ferraris that helped RM achieve the record figures.
The highest amount was garnered for a rare 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Cabriolet Pininfarina SWB, which sold for a high bid of €2,800,000 ($3.8 million), exceeding its estimate and fetching the highest price ever paid for this model. The Superamerica wasn't the only automobile – not even the only Ferrari – to break seven figures, however. A 1957 250 GT Tour de France went for $3.2 million, a 1959 250 GT California Spyder for $2.8 million, and a pair of mid-60s-era 275 GTBs fetched over a million each. A 1960 Maserati Birdcage went for $3.3 million, a rare 1930 Zagato-bodied Alfa Romeo went for $1.2 million, and several Rolls-Royce classics brought in bid figures as well.

Mine will be 7 months Fri. He crawls, rolls over both ways, pulls himself to a stand and tries to cruise but is still pretty wobbly at that. He will take steps with our help and has stood up with no support for a couple seconds here and there.

My LO is 8 months old and rolls over, sits up and is "crawling" (hasn't actually gotten up on her hands and knees, but pulls with her arms and kicks her back leg to scoot across the floor).

Shabby Chic Is Chic Once More
By Warren Shoulberg Its very name has become almost a generic term for an entire design category. Yet the genuine article—the proper name behind the generic—has seen its ups and downs over the years, even virtually disappearing from most of the market place for a period of time last year. But Shabby Chic is back, … More »

- With Mayo Clinic medical oncologist
Timothy J. Moynihan, M.D.
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Timothy J. Moynihan, M.D.
Timothy Moynihan, M.D.
"As a practicing medical oncologist, I meet with patients and families every day to help manage their course through this disease called cancer. This experience provides unique insight into the needs of cancer patients, their families and loved ones and brings into sharp focus the need for reliable information to be readily available in terms that can be easily understood." — Dr. Timothy Moynihan
Dr. Timothy Moynihan believes that providing consumers with accurate, timely information on the broad, complex topic of cancer is the biggest challenge facing medical websites. As the guiding force behind our cancer content, he makes sure Mayo Clinic meets the test.
Dr. Moynihan, born in Las Vegas, N.M., and raised in Denver, is a consultant in medical oncology at Mayo Clinic and an associate professor at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minn. He's board certified in internal medicine, medical oncology, and hospice and palliative care medicine.
He did his medical oncology training at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, and then went on to the University of Minnesota and St. Paul Regions Medical Center for seven years before moving to Mayo Clinic in 1999. Dr. Moynihan is medical director of the Mayo Clinic hospice.
Dr. Moynihan serves as the education chair for the Department of Oncology and the fellowship program director. Four times he has been selected as Teacher of the Year in medical oncology and elected to the Teacher of the Year Hall of Fame.
Past honors include distinguished clinical teacher at the University of Minnesota Medical School, best internist at the Medical College of Wisconsin and recipient of the Upjohn Achievement Award for Excellence in Medicine. Dr. Moynihan serves on several national committees for the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
"The Internet provides a ready source of information on a wide range of topics of interest to those affected by cancer," Dr. Moynihan says. "The difficulty is trying to decide which sites provide reputable information and which information is relevant to each individual patient. The long history and tradition of excellence associated with Mayo Clinic assures you that information provided will be reliable, up-to-date and comprehensive."

Can curcumin slow cancer growth?
from Timothy J. Moynihan, M.D.
At this time, there isn't enough evidence to recommend curcumin for preventing or treating cancer, but research is ongoing.
Curcumin, a substance found in the spice turmeric, has long been used in Asian medicine to treat a variety of maladies. Now some research suggests that curcumin may help prevent or treat cancer.
Curcumin is thought to have antioxidant properties, which means it may decrease swelling and inflammation. It's being explored as a cancer treatment in part because inflammation appears to play a role in cancer.
Laboratory and animal research suggests that curcumin may prevent cancer, slow the spread of cancer, make chemotherapy more effective and protect healthy cells from damage by radiation therapy. Curcumin is being studied for use in many types of cancer.
Studies of curcumin in people are still in the early stages. Clinical trials are under way to investigate curcumin as a way to prevent cancer in people with precancerous conditions, as a cancer treatment, and as a remedy for signs and symptoms caused by cancer treatments.
Research is ongoing, and there isn't enough evidence to recommend curcumin at this time. As always, talk with your doctor before using any herbal supplement.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - A fire that destroyed a historic San Antonio building has spared a 30-foot mural painted by a Hill Country landscape artist more than 50 years ago.
Saturday's fire destroyed the 131-year-old Wolfson Building and damaged an adjacent building. But on Monday, historians and the Wolfson's owner were optimistic about the condition of Porfirio Salinas' "Spring Scene of Texas Hill Country."
Paul Carter, the building's owner, says while surveying damage, "the sunlight came through the roof and shined on the field of bluebonnets."
The mural, given to the Witte Museum in 2007, was on display at the Wolfson until the completion of a museum expansion next year.
Peeking into the Wolfson, Witte curator Amy Fulkerson tells the San Antonio Express-News, "To see what we're seeing through the windows is encouraging."

Healthy Babies
In 2012, 496 Arizona babies died before their first birthday. Sometimes we do everything right and things still go wrong. But there are really important prevention measures to consider that can help reduce the chances of an infant death or life-long health problems.
The problem of infant mortality and prematurity has long been of utmost concern in public health. This year the President of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials has selected the Healthy Babies Project for his national initiative- challenging each state to implement strategies to reduce prematurity and infant mortality based on successful national, regional, and state efforts to improve the health status of babies. We've joined a national pledge to set a goal of reducing premature births by 8% by 2014. This would mean 800 more babies would make it to full term.
- Healthy Babies Initiative on My Turn
- Healthy Babies are Worth the Wait News Conference
- ASTHO and March of Dimes Pledge
- Letter to Dr. Paul Jarris, ASTHO
- Letter to Dr. David Lakey, ASTHO
- Partnership Letter to Will Humble
- Participation Checklist
Why the focus on prematurity? Many babies die because they're born too soon. In 2012, 192 Arizona babies died due to prematurity, the leading cause of death for newborns. Even babies born a few weeks early have high odds of learning disabilities, vision & hearing loss and cerebral palsy.
ADHS will be working with the Arizona Perinatal Trust and our local AZ March of Dimes to implement evidence-based strategies to reduce prematurity like:
- Expanding home visiting programs to families and pregnant women in high-risk communities;
- Developing standards for home visiting programs throughout Arizona and professional development of home visitors so that home visits maximize opportunities to reduce risks for premature birth;
- Expanding awareness of importance of preconception health and implementation of the Arizona Preconception Health Strategic Plan;
- Continuing to support the March of Dimes "Healthy Babies are Worth the Wait" 39 Week Toolkit;
- Renew focus on infant safe sleeping practices to reduce post-neonatal infant mortality; and
- Use social media and public relations events to promote the overall campaign.
So what steps can you take to set the stage for a healthy baby?
Pre-Pregnancy and Conception
Be as healthy as possible before pregnancy. The health of a woman before she even thinks about having a baby has a significant impact on the health of a baby at birth and throughout its life. This includes being at a healthy weight, not smoking or drinking, managing any existing health concerns like diabetes, high blood pressure or STDs. Taking a multivitamin with 400-800 micrograms of folic acid and planning your pregnancy.
- Every Woman Arizona Preconception Materials
ADHS offers info for women thinking about becoming parents and what health risks they may need to consider.
During Pregnancy
Once you're pregnant and if your pregnancy is healthy, it's best to let labor occur on its own and stay pregnant for at least 39 weeks. Many hospitals in Arizona have stopped doing elective C-sections and inductions before 39 weeks, because the baby's brain and other vital organs are not yet fully developed. Healthy Babies are worth the wait! ADHS is working with MOD on a new campaign to reduce prematurity and has set a goal of reducing the state's pre-term birth rate by 8% by 2014, preventing 950 pre-term births.

There are special measures to take in getting vaccine when pregnant and ADHS has gathered that info to keep parents informed.
After Delivery
In the first year of a baby's life, there are things we can do to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). It's been nearly 20 years since the national "back to sleep" campaign was launched, teaching parents, child care providers, and health care professionals to put babies to sleep on their backs. The rate of SIDS went down by 50%. But rates have stalled and we're recognizing sleep-related issues such as suffocation and strangulation. Last year, 77 babies died in unsafe sleep environments, which is why we're promoting strategies for safe sleeping.
Research shows that we can reduce the risk for SIDS and sleep-related deaths by doing a number of things:
- Always place your baby on his or her back to sleep, for naps and at night
- Place your baby on a firm mattress with a tightly fitted sheet, never on pillows, quilts, or other soft surfaces
- Have baby sleep without extra bedding or toys, and ensure face is not covered during sleep
- Safest place for baby to sleep is in the same room with a parent or caregiver but separate sleep surface, such as safety approved crib
- Keep the baby's environment smoke-free
- To prevent overheating, babies should sleep in lightweight clothing, with the room at temperature comfortable for an adult
- ADHS Breastfeeding Program
ADHS encourages moms to breastfeed for at least the first six months of their child's life. This is also promoted at hospitals with a program called AZ Baby Steps to Breastfeeding Success. - Arizona Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
The WIC program continues to support babies after they are born providing breastfeeding support or formula to new parents and helping to educate families on proper nutrition. - Newborn Screening Program
Get info on the tests performed on babies in Arizona shortly after birth and what diseases and complications proper screening and follow-up can prevent.

And this is why you don't see me going to r/atheism.
Like anything remotely pertaining to religion I feel it is more or less something that doesn't need to be discussed. Especially by those with a lack of even the most basic knowledge.
Grassy Troll Conspiracy.
Cloak and Swagger.
Never been to that section of reddit but this video intrigued me.
Only opened one thing and I was shocked by the lack of knowledge and some of the stupidity I saw.
I'm still convinced that r/Atheism is set up by r/Cringe as a means to acquire more material.
I could buy that. It's like somebody said "Hey, kids, just really be yourselves, you're in a safe place, and by the way it's cool to hate, here I'll get you started," and then the kids started to peer-pressure one another to be even more edgy and even meaner and blah blah blah, and the wheel in the sky has just kept on turning ever since.
Errr, I think DarkMatter2525 is way more funny than that I also love his unique take and accuracy on the bible&co. ...except for his last video which made me nearly unsubscribe :<
Also I only visit r/LeagueOfLegends except for 2 days ago where I read some Bill Gates ama :P.

PABLO - A report from the Montana State Crime Lab is pending after human skeletal remains were found in the woods near Pablo.
Lake County Sheriff's Department spokesperson Karen Sargeant said the crime lab is studying the remains of a Caucasian male discovered by two young children near Pablo Sunday at 10 a.m.
Sargeant could not confirm a cause of death, but did tell us that the remains had clearly been out in the woods for several months.
We expect to have more information on this story later in the week.

i was out the whole evening and just came back to this post-apocalyptic state
bit of advice
- judge a movie after you have seen it
- judge a trailer after you have seen it
- judge a teaser trailer after you have seen it
that's all, good night
the night is young and so are the shotas
in which Thor listens to Loki.
I was tired of seeing the quote 'know your place, brother' be used as an argument to say that Thor treated Loki like shit in the movie. In this scene we see the old arrogant Thor confront his enemies. He wants answers and he's clearly angry. Notice that he was just humiliated in front of his brother and friends (which explains him being rude to Loki here, Thor doesn't want to admit that Loki is right and that they are in fact outnumbered, it would mean admitting that he was wrong), but even after being humiliated and angry and frustrated he still listens to his brother and decides to give up. This is important, because this Thor is arrogant and reckless and he likes to court death, but in the end Loki's words were more important to him than anything else [inspired by this].
No, scenes like that one (and others) were in fact there to make you think Thor is an asshole. You are supposed to see this scene and see that Thor is an asshole even to the people he loves best. Then later Thor is humbled and stops being an asshole and is a hero instead.
This is called "character development." They could've started the movie with Thor as a hero and ended it with him as a hero, but they thought it would be more interesting this way. It's actually the plot of the entire movie! If you missed it, try watching the movie again. You may see all sorts of other stuff you missed!
I'm sorry but I think you pissed the point? Yes, Thor at the beginning of the movie is arrogant, reckless, impulsive, vain and kind of a douchebag. No one here is saying he wasn't all of those things. He not only wanted to go to Jotunheim cause he was pissed at the Frost Giants for daring to put their feet on Asgard but because he wanted them to fear him just as they once feared his father as well (Thor's words). But it was never implied that he treated the ones he loves like shit… not on purpose, anyway. For example, look at this scene, at first he uses words that might be considered hurtful because he's clearly not thinking, something that Thor used to do a lot. He wouldn't think twice, he would just go and do it.
But then after Loki reasons with him Thor actually stops and thinks (a little too late). He gives up. Of course, later, they call him a princess and he's acting on impulse all over again.
What I'm trying to say is that Thor used to behave in a way that was definitely not right, reasons Odin didn't think he was ready to be a king. However it was never implied that he was an asshole to the people he loved simply because he was an asshole and that's it, that's who he is. He obviously cares about them, and they seem to be very fond of him too.
Those scenes are there so you can see how unready he was and how impulsive and reckless he used to be, how that's so not the time for him to become a king. Of course he used to make asshole moves, but what are you trying to say exactly? That Thor treated the ones he loves like shit because he wanted to? If that's the case, I would recommend you watch the movie again, maybe you missed something.
Because yes, while Thor was kind of a douchebag I honestly don't think he didn't care about his family and friends. He wouldn't hurt them because he felt like it or because he wanted to, his impulsive and selfish behavior could end up hurting them as a consequence but yeah, Thor wasn't thinking; as in, it's not something he does intentionally.
That changes later because he learns to be humble and think about the consequences that his acts may unleash. The point of this gifset wasn't even to erase Thor's past behavior or even excuse it, it was to simply show that he cares about the ones he loves; that this one line ('know your place') shouldn't be used as an excuse to build up a whole abusive scenario between him and Loki.
I'm sorry if you missed that, maybe you didn't pay attention to the things written under the gifs? I never excused Thor's actions. In fact, I even pointed them out.
now i just have a mental image of chris and tom filming a scene where loki tries to kick thor in the balls and they're laughing and having fun and shit and then because they always get too rough with each other tom accidentally kicks chris for real and he just goes down like a sack of potatoes and tom is standing over him apologizing profusely

The Planning Acts control the use of land, the size and appearance of new buildings, their impact on neighbours and (if the building is listed), the internal appearance of the building.
Town Planning is about organising the way land and buildings are used so that as many people as possible, including generations to come, benefit. Councils are required to prepare 'development plans' which are then used to guide development planning decisions about whether or not new uses and buildings are allowed.

Get MemeStreams Stuff!
Why do people sign up for this stupid site, Facebook?
Does anyone really desire to keep in touch with their "friends" that badly?
I don't.
I liked it better, in the old days, where I could see my pals decline in easily digestible chunks, chomped down over time when I would see them in the mall and realize how miserable they looked, how annoying their girlfriends seemed, how beaten they'd gotten.
It made me feel better about myself.
It made me feel godlike.
It made me into the sort of guy who would walk into a supermarket in the middle of the night and do my shopping without having to run into them at all.
Until Facebook runs a special on canned ham that matches that of Wegmans, I want no damned part of it. And I don't want to watch my friends turn to shit in slo-mo.
I want to do it with time lapse, but until then, I will settle for running into them in the mall.
And I don't want access to anyone's personal information any more than I'd want someone to have access to mine, but if Facebook wants to give my home phone number to Goldman Sachs or Wal Mart, then I expect phone sex from them.
"Hello, this is Elaine, customer service representative for Wal Mart, calling!"
"Um, yes?"
"We want to know what color panties you are wearing right now! This is a courtesy call."
"I don't wear panties. I am a guy."
"Well, what are you doing with your hands right now? Are you wet? We have a sale this month on Scott Toilet Tissue. I'm so hot for you right now. A dozen rolls for $2.79. I want you to bend me over. Jolly Green giant snow peas, 56 cents a can! Fuck me."
"Those are some pretty good deals."
"Oh baby, I want you so bad...I'm about to explode. T Bone steaks, $6.05 a pound. Pound me with your bone...We appreciate your patronage at your local Wal Mart. Be sure to check out our large selection of five dollar DVDs, and cum all over my face."
Facebook to Privacy: Drop Dead!
Well, I have officially returned to memestreams, and in a goodwill gesture to Tom Cross, I have decided to tone down the act a little. Granted, a layman's eye may find itself unable to discern the difference, since my blog posts have still tended towards cruel pranks (Neil Young Dead at 66), libelous humor (Fat Chris Christie...) and outright diatribes (California, Hold thy Tongue), but I HAVE, in my defense resisted personal attacks on other users of the site, death threats against celebrities and the sort of invective I once tossed around this internet tool the way one would shoot Iraqis under General Schwarzkopf (or Iriquois under General Jackson).
Yes, I have turned over a new leaf, as has memestreams! No longer do I have to read about how Kerry is better than Bush, simply because after two years of Obama, we see that both parties are really the same damn thing, where it counts. That was my point all along.
I believe in free thought, and those whose thoughts remain shackled shall face the brunt of their own wrath. My only drive is to make fun of our lame culture in 2011.
I am sure our lame culture won't leave me lacking for material.
So I reckon Michelle Obama sits around, forcibly drugged on valium and thorazine so that she doesn't kick her husband right in the ass for being such a turncoat to anyone but Republicans, robber barons and Wall Street.
Rather than tackle poverty or inequality or the fact that our nation keeps falling into the sewers faster than one can say "one term," our first lady has kills time like a schoolyard bully picking on fat kids.
"You kids are fat, and that means you can't serve in the military for us, so skip dessert, eat a bowl of rice a day and live your life like a North Korean peasant. Here's your green smock. They only come in one size, so lose weight, you fat little shit." She says to the youth of America.
One kid raises his hand.
"Miss Obama! All we can afford are fatty, undernourishing foods like McDonalds and the shit they sell at Aldi because my dad lost his job three years ago, your husband is forcing us to buy health insurance and he took all our money to help banks and the wealthy in their quest to fuck 99% of our nation. Oh, and I forgot about the OBAMA tax cuts. We used to call them the Bush tax cuts, until your husband embraced them, while telling us he didn't embrace them, but passed them anyway. I mean, if starving to death on some days while gorging on trans-fat laden chemical beef helped allow gays to serve in the military, then it's all worth it. I call that a fair trade-off."
"You are mistaken, on one point, kid" The first lady says, "We let the rich have the Obama tax cut so that the middle class could retain their tax cut, too."
"Um...what's the middle class?" The kid shifts in his desk, which cracks and whines under his girth.
"It's this family that lives in Illinois, down the block from where we used to live. They make sixty thousand dollars per year. Do you really want to see them pay more in taxes?"
The kid slumps over onto his desk, dead of a heart attack.
At least Chris Christie, the teacher-hating governor of New Jersey supports poor, drugged up, silenced Michelle in her quest to help make every man, woman and child, gay or straight, physically fit enough to die overseas in the courageous act of protecting the wealthy people in our nation.
Chris Christie says: "I think it's a really good goal to encourage kids to eat better. I've struggled with my weight for 30 years. And it's a struggle. And if a kid can avoid that in his adult years or her adult years, more power to them. And I think the first lady is speaking out well,"
So, when it's Michelle Obama, who seems relatively fit, telling you that you are a fat fuck, it is easy to dismiss the sentiments as bullying.
Now, when a big, porcine slob such as Chris Christie calls you a fat fuck, at least you know that he knows what he is talking about. He is one of the most morbidly obese people I have ever seen! The local press ran a picture of him in shorts and a white (sweaty) t-shirt picking strawberries, a few months ago. He looked like a bucket of shit! He was so fat that if he fell over, you just know he couldn't get back up again. So fat that his wife would suffocate while attempting to give him a blowjob!
I urge all of you to email the office of Chris Christie, governor of New Jersey and ask him when was the last time he saw his dick! You can tell that fucker pisses all over the seat and then leaves it there.
Fat Chris Christie Fights the Obesity of Others...
I hate food critics. I hate anything served "California style." Why?
Glad you asked.
The linked article very poorly attempts to make the case that chef Adam Fleischman's Umami Burger is the best in America. I say BULLSHIT! From what I gather, this hamburger is simply a regular hamburger loaded to the gills with MSG. Wow, sounds great!
America has recently fucked up the hamburger on every level, and the most fucked up food always originates in California, where something about the air mutates the taste buds in horrible ways.
When I order a hamburger, I want grilled or griddle-cooked beef on a toasted bun with chopped onion and ketchup. I don't want lettuce, mayonnaise, wasabi mustard, feta cheese, avocado, or any fucking "secret sauce" unless the secret is that they use fucking ketchup.
Californians need to put all this pretentious shit on their food. What the fuck is wrong with a normal slice of pizza? NOTHING! It doesn't need a goddam thing that a three-hundred years dead Italian didn't already think to put on it!
America, stop fucking up your food! Invent a whole new pretentious meal if you wish, but leave standards alone!
And another thing, if your fucking burger patty is so thick that you can't even bite into both sides of the bun and the burger in one bite, then it's too fucking big!!! It's not enjoyable anymore. If you are a fat, overeating fuck, then order two or three or twenty man-sized burgers or just jump into the water and subsist on thousands of pounds of Krill, each day.
Fuck California Pizza Kitchen, too. That's a tale for another day.
California, Hold Thy Tongues!
Neil Young has passed away at 66, in news sure to sadden all fans of rock music. From his early years in The Mynah Birds with the late "Superfreak" singer Rick James, through his years in such notable rock and folk outfits as Buffalo Springfield, Crosby Stills Nash and Young to his decades long partnership with hard-psych-rock band Crazy Horse, Neil Young made shitloads of albums, toured constantly and even found the time to direct such cool art films as Human Highway, Greendale, and Rust Never Sleeps. He will be missed.
This notes for you, Neil!
Neil Young, RIP.
R.I.P. Neil Young Dead at 66!!!! Rock World Mourns!
Well, after a long stretch in Federal Prison for decapitating my neighbor and feeding her remains to this panhandler who apparently wasn't lying all those times he told me he needed "to get something to eat" I have returned to www.memestreams.net. And while some of you may know that I have always had half of a love-hate relationship with the memestreams concept and community, I might say that this site, upon reflection, is nowhere near as stupid and shitty as Facebook, Twitter, Myspace or most of the other inanely named pieces of shit littering the side of the information superhighway.
So, in exchange for your forgiveness, I offer you...
The recipe for Coca Cola.
The recipe:Fluid extract of Coca: 3 drams USPCitric acid: 3 ozCaffeine: 1 ozSugar: 30 (unclear quantity)Water: 2.5 galLime juice: 2 pints, 1 quartVanilla: 1 ozCaramel: 1.5 oz or more for color
The secret 7X flavor (use 2 oz of flavor to 5 gals syrup):Alcohol: 8 ozOrange oil: 20 dropsLemon oil: 30 dropsNutmeg oil: 10 dropsCoriander: 5 dropsNeroli: 10 dropsCinnamon: 10 drops
Go make millions! I'd advise you to put the cocaine back in the stuff, though. That'll give it an edge the other cola makers don't have.
An Apology and a Peace Offering!
Herman Miller, the office furniture company responsible for the Eames Easy Chair and the very popular Herman Miller Aeron Chair, is widely know to have invented the office cubicle. However, not many people realize that they also had a hand in bringing David Cronenberg's vision of William S. Burrough's novel Naked Lunch to the screen in 1991.
In the film, the character Tom Frost has a shape-shifting talking insectoid typewriter called "Martinelli", and this impressive special effect was designed by Herman Miller, whom Cronenberg approached with the idea after noticing the distinct design of their office furniture. He felt that the furniture had insect-like qualities which could benefit the look of the film.
I cannot bring myself to elect a woman to the office of vice-president who would be so callous as to sell the retarded fruit of her loins to a perfect stranger on E-bay! Look out, memestreams community. All truth aside, this video is rather amusing. Research its history and credits at your leisure.
Sarah Palin To Sell Little Trig On E-Bay!
He did nothing on September 11th, except reflect the sun off of his shining bald head. He's an incestuous, philandering, psychopathic pig. Each night I pray for his fatal heart attack. He is a republican of convenience, a buck-toothed, mush-mouthed, lisping, stuttering douchebag, and he would destroy this world, if given the chance. He is everything that the staunchest Bush-bashers feared W. would be. Guiliani and Romney may well be in the run up to the Republican Veep spot, but they are decidedly in the running for the Anti-Christ spot.
I hope they both choke.
Rudy Giuliani was a hated mayor with no experience on any level of national importance. NOTHING. Unlike Obama, Rudy chickened out of facing down Hillary Clinton. He is a coward. He is a fraud. He has made millions of dollars and garnered much undeserved goodwill by exploiting the victims of 911. If he had done his job in a truly dignified way, Many police, EMTs and Firefighters would still be alive today.
He, like a vampire, sucks on their blood and memories for personal gain.
Fuck him. He's a disgrace to humanity and America and the bastard should be strapped down to a chair and forced to confront all of the evil he left in his wake.
Classless. Nice combover, asshole. I'd love to kick your ass.
If one is a conspiracy theorist of the first order, I wish to cut through the B.S. and pleasantry (aren't they the same anyway) to let the public learn of some hard facts regarding non-wartime murders possibly committed through the orders and/or actions of unscrupulous, racist, immoral and psychotic rebel carpetbaggers who once ran our nation into 9/11, future recessions and Bush presidencies (Jeb '12). The Clintons have a history of leaving questionable death in their wake. Let's look up Ron Brown, the Ives and Henry murders, the Waco murders, the Ruby Ridge murders, Vince Foster's suicide, Bill Gwatney, Tim Russert, Mary Mahoney, AND, in no particular order:
C. Victor Raiser II - & - Montgomery Raiser: Major players in the Clinton fund raising organization died in a private plane crash in July 1992.
Paul Tulley - Democratic National Committee Political Director found dead in a hotel room in Little Rock, September 1992. Described by Clinton as a "Dear friend and trusted advisor".
Ed Willey - Clinton fund raiser, found dead November 1993 deep in the woods in Virginia of a gunshot wound to the head. Ruled a suicide. Ed Willey died on the same day his wife Kathleen Willey claimed Bill Clinton groped her in the oval office in the White House. Ed Willey was involved in several Clinton fund raising events.
Jerry Parks - Head of Clinton's gubernatorial security team in Little Rock. Gunned down in his car at a deserted intersection outside Little Rock. Park's son said his father was building a dossier on Clinton. He allegedly threatened to reveal this information. After he died the files were mysteriously removed from his house.
James Bunch - Died from a gunshot suicide. It was reported that he had a "Black Book" of people containing names of influential people who visited prostitutes in Texas and Arkansas.
James Wilson - Was found dead in May 1993 from an aparent hanging suicide. He was reported to have ties to Whitewater.
Kathy Ferguson - Ex-wife of Arkansas Trooper Danny Ferguson died in May 1994 was found dead in her living roon with a gunshot to her head. It was ruled a suicide even though there were several packed suitcases, as if she was going somewhere. Danny Ferguson was a co-defendant along with Bill Clinton in the Paula Jones lawsuit. Kathy Ferguson was a possible corroborating witness for Paula Jones.
Bill Shelton - Arkansas state Trooper and fiancee of Kathy Ferguson. Critical of the suicide ruling of his fiancee, he was found dead in June, 1994 of a gunshot wound also ruled a suicide at the gravesite of his fiancee.
Gandy Baugh - Attorney for Clinton friend Dan Lassater died by jumping out a window of a tall building January, 1994. His client was a convicted drug distributor.
Florence Martin - Accountant - Sub-contractor for the CIA related to the Barry Seal Mena Airport drug smuggling case. Died of three gunshot wounds.
Suzanne Coleman - Reportedly had an affair wi... [ Read More (0.5k in body) ]

North Korea said Saturday it has deported an American veteran of the Korean War who had been detained there since October for what Pyongyang described as "hostile acts" against the communist country. Merrill Newman, an 85-year-old from California, was deported "from a humanitarian viewpoint", the North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said, citing his "sincere repentance" as well as his age and health condition. The release came as US Vice President Joe Biden visited South Korea, the last stop on a three-country Asia tour that has already taken him to Japan and China. "It's a positive thing they've done," Biden said during his trip to the demilitarised zone, which has split the peninsula since the 1950-1953 Korean War.

Osho,Over the past ten years I am again and again reminded of the words of Kahlil Gibran: "Man cannot reap love until after sad and revealing separation and bitter patience and desperate hardship."Please comment.
It is true about Kahlil Gibran, but not true about love. Kahlil Gibran suffered much despair, anguish. He was not what you find him in his immensely important books, The Prophet, The Garden Of The Prophet, and Jesus, The Son Of Man. Kahlil Gibran was just the opposite.
And that is true about almost all the so-called great artists, painters, poets, sculptors, musicians, dancers. They are trying to fulfill their unfulfilled life in writing poetry, literature. That literature simply signifies their dream, not their reality.
Never meet any man like Kahlil Gibran. Read his book, The Prophet – it is immensely beautiful – but avoid Kahlil Gibran himself, because you will be very much disappointed, for the simple reason that you cannot believe that this man has produced one of the classics of the whole of history. His book stands like an Everest, but he himself lies deep down in the dark valley of despair, existential meaninglessness: angry about life, angry with life, angry about everything. And the reason is simple. It is a psychological truth that whatever you miss in your life, you fulfill in your dreams. Your dreams show what you are missing in your life.
You can try small experiments and you will be able to see it. Just fast one day, and in the night you can be certain of having a great feast in your dreams – all delicious foods, perhaps an invitation from the king, or the president in the White House. Your dream shows that during the day you have been hungry. These creative people are able to put their dreams into their writings – but they are their dreams.
So what Kahlil Gibran says about love is the experience of a man who wanted to love but could not love. He could not love because of his ego. The first need of love is that you should put aside your ego; and artists, poets, painters, musicians, are very egoistic people.
Kahlil Gibran could not put his ego aside. It was not love that became his despair, it was his ego that would not allow him freedom to move into the world of love. He was chained. The longing for love and being chained to the ego created the whole tension, the anguish of his life. He has to be pitied. He is certainly one of the greatest geniuses of this century, but that does not make him a great lover. The very fact that he was a great genius helped him to go on nourishing his ego. He never could become innocent like a child – of which he talks again and again in his writings. That is his dream.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Climate changes and the recent rains don't just affect the environment. Experts say they also affect your nose.
Warmer temperatures and wetter grounds are allowing certain plants to thrive, and they happen to be the plants that tend to make our allergies act up.
"It's like a pollen-acolypse out there!," Dr. Eric Caplan, of Colorado Springs Allergy & Asthma Clinic, exclaimed.
Dr. Caplan said Colorado usually has distinct allergy seasons: Spring brings trees, Summer is grasses, and in Fall we get the weeds. But, he said, recent weather is changing all that, delivering all three simultaneously.
"The rain is combining with the mold we're seeing right now, and it's having all those pollens all together at once... that's what's driving people crazy out there," he explained.
Allergies may seem like a minor thing, but according to the CDC there are an estimated 50 million Americans with allergies, and $18 billion is spent each year dealing with the nuisance.
"It's not just a runny nose for people," Dr. Caplan said, "It's really affecting their quality of life, what they're doing at home, their schoolwork and their profession as well."
He said many lose sleep over allergies, and he's treated professional baseball players who are out of a game because their symptoms throw them off so much.
If your allergies are getting in the way, a board-certified specialist can help get you back to normal. Allergy assessments can be conducted as early as age two, and they can even do immuno-therapy to help you be less affected by whatever spurs your sneezing, sniffling and scratching.
"After we identify allergies we work on short-term relief and long-term relief. What do we do in the short-term to gain control of your symptoms so you can go out and be a functioning member of society again, and what can do we do in the long-term to prevent these symptoms from returning each and every year. Some people are miserable every summer! You don't have to be miserable!," he said.

And as for the ever-debated question of which season is 'allergy season'? "It's always allergy season, it just depends on the degree," he affirmed.
