The Historic Miyazaki Bathhouse is a one of a kind diamond in the rough. Set in the heart of old Japantown Walnut Grove, California, is a small town nestled in the beauty of the Sacramento Delta and its 1200 miles of snaking waterways.
The Miyazaki is the only historical functioning Japanese bathhouse (Ofuro) in the country. Did you know there used to be many?
Prior to World War II, the Japanese who immigrated to the U.S. and settled in this area created a thriving community which they called "Kawashimo" or city by the water. They brought with them the wonderful tradition of their ritual bathing, which served both as an important social amalgam for the community, and of course a peaceful and serene place to soak and bathe. Post World War II, these soulful places fell into disrepair and faded into the past.
The Miyazaki Bath House has been lovingly and painstakingly restored to its historic usage and we are now open to the public.
We also have a fine arts gallery in the front of the building where we feature a new artist every month.
The first Friday evening of each month we participate in the Art Open House of Walnut Grove. All galleries are open for visitors.
The Miyazaki opens onto the charming community park where in the spring and summer we host concerts where you can sit and sip iced tea in the shade of the trees.
Upstairs, which used to be an old boarding house, is now a lovely restful environment where the old American West meets old world Japan. The entire venue can be reserved for 24 hr. usage.
You won't find anything else like it!

DAM-termined : The Breaching of the Veazie Dam Frees Maine's Largest River
On Monday, July 22nd, the Penobscot River Restoration Trust and its committed partners will remove the Veazie Dam on the Penobscot River thus freeing the river for the first time in almost two hundred years. Sitting on the Penobscot River between Veazie and Eddington, the Veazie Dam is the oldest and the lowermost dam inhibiting fish passage since 1912. This monumental feat will restore access to 1,000 miles of crucial waterways to all sea-run fish species. The Penobscot River Restoration Trust has made historic progress beginning with the removal of the Great Works Dam in the summer of 2012. Its work has been lauded by National Geographic as "one of the most high-profile river restoration projects… The effort is reviving native sea-run fish populations and cultural traditions and creating economic and recreational opportunities, while maintaining existing hydropower production along the largest river within Maine." The final step of the project will be to bypass Howland Dam, a third dam on the river. To learn more about the Veazie Dam and the project check out the short Vimeo video, "Freeing a River: Running and Removing Dams on Maine's Penobscot River."
A free Penobscot River will benefit New England ecologically, culturally, recreationally, and economically. From an ecological standpoint, the removal of the dams is crucial for restoring the population of endangered Atlantic salmon, shortnose sturgeon, American shad, alewife, and other fish species in the watershed. Chris Wood, Chief Executive Officer of Trout Unlimited, deemed the project "the single best chance, and maybe the last chance to restore Atlantic salmon." Restoring the salmon will also benefit over 137 species of wildlife and plants that depend on them. In addition, the restoration of the river to its natural state of connectivity will also impact cultural traditions and recreational experiences that have been restricted for generations.
On the morning of July 7th, Dan Kusnierz was joined by follow Team Penobscot members Bob Bryant, Barry Dana, Leah Elliott, and Lori Dana as well as members from the 1% for the Planet team to run on the behalf on the Penobscot River. Dan Kusnierz, Director of the Water Quality Program for the Penobscot Indian Nation, proclaimed, "Its an honor to be able to run the Mad Marathon as a member of Team Penobscot to help raise awareness and funds to support the restoration of the Penobscot River – the lifeblood of the Penobscot people."
The 1 % for the Planet network is a proud partner of the Penobscot River Restoration Trust in what we feel is an excellent example of collective impact to solve environmental issues and promote sustainable solutions.
The immense progress and successes on the Penobscot River have been made possible by the support of devoted partners both private and public. These supporters include Penobscot Indian Nation, state and federal agencies, hydropower companies, and conservation organizations, such as American Rivers, Atlantic Salmon Federation, Maine Aubodon, The Natural Resources Council of Maine, Nature Conservancy, and Trout Unlimited.
Join Us and Stay Involved!
The Penobscot River Restoration Trust invites you to support the project at the Veazie Dam Breaching and Celebration taking place on Monday, July 22nd. You can also support the Penobscot Project by making a donation to the effort that has already raised nearly 40,000 dollars in support. You may be interested in adding your business or organization to Penobscot's list of endorsers, signing up for the newsletter, or "liking" their Facebook page for updates about their exciting progress. By taking action big or small, each supporter has the opportunity to contribute to this important project and leave a legacy.

The color red and I have a funny relationship. I avoid wearing it and using it in my personal decor, and I especially dislike red flowers, but then I see it in places where no other color would do, and it surprises and charms me. Red lipstick on a bride (the perfect accessory!), red letters on a bistro chair, a shockingly red door or piano. But it's a dramatic color, so use it wisely – perhaps against a crisp white backdrop as I've done here. Though I love the bride's red lipstick, I've imagined her carrying a bouquet of white flowers and some foliage. Red ranunculus have made their way into the centerpieces, but the gorgeous porcelain vase by Frances Palmer has enough personality to hold its own (you'd better believe this woman's work is going on my registry). Though I think this palette could work well in most seasons, right now I can't help but think of it as a cheery color scheme for a snowy winter wedding – appropriate for this first day of December, don't you think?
Mood: cheery and charming

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke is the latest Wisconsin politician to take the "ice bucket challenge."
That's where people dowse themselves with freezing water to help raise awareness of Lou Gehrig's disease.
She notes in a video posted on her Twitter account Saturday that since she didn't accept the challenge within 24 hours she donated to the ALS Foundation.
Campaign spokesman Joe Zepecki said she donated $100. She challenged two radio talk show hosts and a television talk show host.
Republicans Gov. Scott Walker and Sen. Ron Johnson also posted videos doing the challenge Friday.
The ice bucket challenge phenomenon was launched to raise money to fight amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The foundation reports raising more than $11 million since July 29 because of challenges.

Bucknell's Amanda Brown
Feb. 26, 2007
Complete Release in PDF Format
Download Free Acrobat Reader
Center Valley, Pa. - The 2006-07 Women's Basketball All-Patriot League Teams honored 15 different student-athletes, including a League-high three from Bucknell, Holy Cross and Lehigh each. Army took home two honorees, while American, Colgate, Lafayette and Navy each had one.
Bucknell, the top seed in the upcoming Patriot League Tournament, landed two student-athletes on the First-Team All-Patriot League list and one on the All-Rookie squad. Junior forward Hope Foster and sophomore guard Amanda Brown represented the Bison on the First-Team. Foster averaged 13.4 points and 7.5 rebounds per game over the course of the season and blocked a Patriot League-high 91 shots. The 2006 Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year is just five rejections shy of breaking the Patriot League single-season record of 95, which she tied a year ago. On Nov. 17 Foster tied the Patriot League single-game mark with 11 blocks versus then No. 17 Michigan State. She also leads the Patriot League with nine double-doubles on the year.
Brown was the Patriot League's top scorer in the League's 14 regular-season contests, averaging 16.1 points per outing. In Patriot League competition her 43.4% accuracy from long range was tops in the League, while her 2.57 treys per game were tied for second. The former Patriot League All-Rookie Team member posted 19 double-digit scoring performances this season, including a string of 13 games in a row from Jan. 6 to Feb. 20. She also notched four 20+ point scoring games.
Bucknell's All-Rookie team representative was freshman forward Le' Le' LeSeur, who saw action in 17 games this season. LeSeur dished out 20 assists and recorded 11 steals and 45 rebounds.
Senior Kaitlin Foley headlined Holy Cross' All-League selections with her second-consecutive First-Team nod. Foley led the Crusaders with 13.6 points per game in Patriot League action and shot a Patriot League best 56.0% from the field. The veteran forward became the 53rd student-athlete in Patriot League history to reach 1,000 career points, doing so on Feb. 20. Foley was perfect from the line 13 times this season and owns an 85.2 free throw percentage.
The Holy Cross freshman duo of Bethany O'Dell and Briana McFadden were both honored on the All-Rookie squad, while O'Dell was also selected Second-Team All-Patriot League. O'Dell is the Patriot League's top freshman scorer at 11.8 points per game overall and 13.1 in Patriot League competition. The five-time Patriot League Rookie of the Week's 2.57 3-pointers made per game is first in the Patriot League, while her 40.7% accuracy from beyond the arc is third. McFadden is not far behind with 10.8 points per Patriot League game. The rookie guard's 78.4% shooting from the charity stripe is the best by any Patriot League freshman this season. The third-time Patriot League Rookie of the Week set her career high with 20 points versus Lafayette on Jan. 3.
Last season's Patriot League Player of the Year, Army's Cara Enright, repeated as a First-Team All-Patriot League selection in 2007, after earning Patriot League Rookie of the Year honors in 2005, along with Second-Team and All-Rookie recognition during her freshman campaign. Enright's 15.3 points per game this season were tied for first in the Patriot League. The junior guard had seven 20+ point games this year, including a season-high 25 points on two occasions. Her 1.76 steals per game were tied for second in the Patriot League along with teammate Alex McGuire, who was Army's other All-Patriot League selection for the 2006-07 season, earning Second-Team honors.
McGuire averaged 11.2 points and 2.86 assists per game this year. In Patriot League games, the 2006 Patriot League Rookie of the Year was first in the League with 34 thefts. She reached double-digit scoring in 18 games this year and 20 or more points in five contests.
Navy's Carly Meyer completes the 2007 First-Team All-Patriot League squad with her first career All-Patriot League honor. Meyer put up the highest scoring total in a single game in the Patriot League this season with 33 points on Feb. 13 against Holy Cross for her second 30 or more point game of the season. The senior forward posted 19 double-digit scoring performances, including nine straight to end the regular-season. Her 15.3 points per game average is tied for first in the Patriot League, while her five double-doubles are tied for second. She recently became the 53rd Patriot League student-athlete to amass 500 career rebounds, averaging 7.3 per game in 2006-07.
Lehigh also had three All-Patriot League selections this year, led by Adrienne Blount's Second-Team selection - her second in as many years. Blount's 7.9 boards per game were the second-best in the Patriot League this season, while her 12.2 points per outing were a team high. The senior forward grabbed 10 or more boards seven times this season and had five double-doubles. She was one of five Patriot League student-athletes to join the 500 career rebounds club this season.
Both Alex Ross and Kristen Dalton were All-Patriot League Rookie Team selections for Lehigh. Ross shot .429 from the field this season, averaging 8.1 points per game. With 35 triples, Ross ranks second for the Mountain Hawks in 3-pointers made, while her 38.5% shooting from long range is sixth in the Patriot League. Dalton has dished out 2.21 assists per game this season and has reached double-digit scoring five times, including a career-high 20-point performance on Dec. 3 against Akron. Both Ross and Dalton earned one Patriot League Rookie of the Week mention this year.
A new face to the Patriot League this season, American's Liz Hayes (a junior transfer), earned a spot on the Second-Team All-Patriot League squad. Hayes' 71 3-pointers made are second in the Patriot League this season and she is third in scoring with 14.3 points per outing. The Eagle guard is averaging 2.83 assists per game and is second in the Patriot League with an 86.0 percentage from the charity stripe.
Rounding on the All-League Second-Team is Lafayette's Vanessa Van De Venter, who was an All-Rookie team selection in 2005. In Patriot League games, Van De Venter is third in scoring (13.9) and field goal percentage (46.3). The junior forward posted 19 double-figure scoring games this season and netted a season-high 23 on Feb. 20 at Army.
The remaining member of the All-Rookie team is Colgate's TaHara Williams. Williams started in 13 of 27 games in which she played in this season, averaging 7.6 points and 1.67 assists per game. The two-time Patriot League Rookie of the Week reached double-digit scoring in 13 games this year, including the Raiders' last five contests of the regular-season.
The Patriot League will announce its major award winners in conjunction with the 2007 Patriot League Women's Basketball Tournament banquet held on Friday, March 2 in Annapolis, Md. The tournament will kick off on Saturday, March 3 with quarterfinal action and continue on Sunday, March 4 with semifinal games, all at Navy's Alumni Hall. The 2007 Patriot League Tournament Championship game will take place on Wednesday, March 7 at the site of the highest remaining seed.

Analytic Apps and the Need for a Resilient Infrastructure
Brittany Gotschall 2700050P02 firstname.lastname@example.com | 2013-05-08 11:55:09.0 | Tags:  analytics idc business-analytics | 0 Comments | 1,677 Visits
By Jean Bozman, Research Vice President, Enterprise Servers, and Dan Vesset, Program Vice President, Business Analytics, IDC
To read part 1 of this two-part series click here.
In a recent IDC survey of over 2,500 organizations, 22% of respondents indicated that if their business analytics solution were out of service for up to one hour, it would have a material negative impact on business operations. That's why IT groups are paying even more attention to resiliency around analytics deployments.
Resiliency is defined by two key attributes: availability and flexibility. For production systems, enterprise workloads must be highly available because they may support hundreds, or even thousands, of end users accessing them. Although some analytic applications may be used by small groups of data scientists and business unit analysts, availability is still important to overall business success as the role of these analysts is increasingly critical in providing insight to other decision makers in the organization.
Building a more agile infrastructure gives IT organizations the flexibility to better support analytics workloads. Having IT flexibility means that organizations don't need to rip and replace infrastructure. Instead, they are more likely to add net-new servers to existing infrastructure or to reorganize servers into clusters, grids, or arrays that run analytics software. Read this IDC paper for a fuller discussion on matching analytics workloads with infrastructure and client deployments examples.)
Manufacturing, healthcare, telecommunications, public sector, and other organizations that have higher competency and pervasiveness of business analytics solutions are defined by their focus not only on software functionality for information integration, monitoring, management, analysis, and visualization, but also on innovating the hardware infrastructure that enables successful business analytics projects and ongoing programs.
These organizations place a premium on the optimization and resiliency of server, storage, and network infrastructure to address expanding volumes of multi-structured data, users, and use cases.

Jane Doe (Size: 814.08 MB)
Once she was a computer professional, now she's on the run. Wanted by the police for a murder she didn't commit, wanted by government agents for a data disc she doesn't have. Jane Doe didn't start this game of cat-and-mouse, but just watch her finish it.This action-packed thriller stars Desperate Housewives' Teri Hatcher together with Rob Lowe
Jane Doe is the real name of arms manufacturer Cy-Kor's recently fired security password employee with top clearance, whose teenage son Michael is kidnapped. She obeys the bizarre instructions, including getting and learning to use a gun and downloading a secret file (after which her work post starts totally deleting), dumping both in a dumpster and waiting nearby, only to witness the company's CEO Churnings being shot by a sniper using an identical weapon. Michael is released, but the pair is now wanted for the murder and both are abducted by armed men, who bring them to a ranch. There they are welcomed by Michael's father, David Doe, who discloses to be an agent of the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), and so is Michael, who used her clearance as the whole thing is a sting for the kidnapping and murder's brain, Avery, so he will sell the enemy false data.

Network faults such as link failures and high switch configuration delays can cause heavy congestion and packet loss. Because it takes time for the traffic engineering systems to detect and react to such faults, these conditions can last long---even tens of seconds. We propose forward fault correction (FFC), a proactive approach for handling faults. FFC spreads network traffic such that freedom from congestion is guaranteed under arbitrary combinations of up to k faults. We show how FFC can be practically realized by compactly encoding the constraints that arise from this large number of possible faults and solving them efficiently using sorting networks. Experiments with data from real networks show that, with negligible loss in overall network throughput, FFC can reduce data loss by a factor of 7–130 in well-provisioned networks, and reduce the loss of high-priority traffic to almost zero in wellutilized networks.}, author = {Hongqiang Harry Liu and Srikanth Kandula and Ratul Mahajan and Ming Zhang and David Gelernter}, booktitle = {SIGCOMM 2014}, month = {August}, publisher = {ACM – Association for Computing Machinery}, title = {Traffic Engineering with Forward Fault Correction}, url = {http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=220637}, year = {2014}, }

Berklee in the Classroom: Music Education
Berklee's Music Education Department offers students the skills necessary to teach music in a variety of roles, such as a K-12 music teacher, private instructor, or ensemble conductor. Music education majors use these skills in actual field experiences, including a student teaching practicum for one semester in a public school environment. In Elementary Classroom Methods, professor Charlene Ryan models teaching methods for young children and then gives students hands-on experience leading a free Berklee educational music program for preschoolers. Watch the videos below to experience the class and meet Ryan, chair Cecil Adderley, and four students.

Inline Java IDE hint states, "Invoking Thread.sleep in loop can cause performance problems." I can find no elucidation elsewhere in the docs re. this statement.
Why? How? What other method might there be to delay execution of a thread?
Inline Java IDE hint states, "Invoking Thread.sleep in loop can cause performance problems." I can find no elucidation elsewhere in the docs re. this statement.
Why? How? What other method might there be to delay execution of a thread?
It is not that
For this situation, you should use
Polling with
It depends on why you're putting it to sleep and how often you run it.
I can think of several alternatives that could apply in different situations:
It depends on whether the wait is dependent on another thread completing work, in which case you should use guarded blocks, or high level concurrency classes introduced in Java 1.6. I recently had to fix some
1.6. What precision can I expect from Thread.sleep()?
The fundamental problem with short sleeps is that a call to sleep finishes the current scheduling time slice. Only after all other threads/process finished, the call can return.
For the Sun JDK, Thread.sleep(1) is reported to be quite precise on Windows. For Linux, it depends on the timer interrupt of the kernel. If the kernel is compiled with HZ=1000 (the default on alpha), the precision is reported to be good. For HZ=100 (the default on x86) it typically sleeps for 20 ms.
Using Thread.sleep(millis, nanos) doesn't improve the results. In the Sun JDK, the nanosecond value is just rounded to the nearest millisecond. (Matthias)
why? that is because of context switching (part of the OS CPU scheduling)
How? calling Thread.sleep(t) makes the current thread to be moved from the running queue to the waiting queue. After the time 't' reached the the current thread get moved from the waiting queue to the ready queue and then it takes some time to be picked by the CPU and be running.
Solution: call Thread.sleep(t*10); instead of calling Thread.Sleep(t) inside loop of 10 iterations ...
I have face this problem before when waiting for asynchronous process to return a result.
Thread.sleep is a problem on multi thread scenario. It tends to oversleep. This is because internally it rearrange its priority and yields to other long running processes (thread).
A new approach is using ScheduledExecutorService interface or the ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor introduce in java 5.
Reference: http://download.oracle.com/javase/1,5.0/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/ScheduledExecutorService.html
It might NOT be a problem, it depends.
In my case, I use Thread.sleep() to wait for a couple of seconds before another reconnect attempt to an external process. I have a while loop for this reconnect logic till it reaches the max # of attemps. So in my case, Thread.sleep() is purely for timing purpose and not coordinating among multithreads, it's perfectly fine.
You can configure you IDE in how this warning should be handled.
I suggest looking into the CountDownLatch class. There are quite a few trivial examples out there online. Back when I just started multithreaded programming they were just the ticket for replacing a "sleeping while loop".

French Business Letters - Correspondance commerciale
Closing Formula
The following closing formulas are listed in order (more or less) from most to least formal. Take one phrase from each column to make your closing formula (essentially equivalent to Sincerely). I didn't provide translations of these phrases because they are not equivalent to what is used in English business letters.
|Column A
|Column B
|Column C
Je vous prie d'agréer, ...,
Je vous prie d'accepter, ...,Je vous prie de croire, ..., à
Veuillez agréer, ...,Veuillez croire, ..., à
Agréez, ....,Croyez, ..., à
l'assurance de
l'expression de
|ma considération distinguée.
|mes salutations distinguées.
|mes sentiments distingués.
|mes sentiments respectueux.
|mes sentiments dévoués.
|mes sincères salutations.
|mes respectueux hommages.
|mes cordiales salutations.
|mes sentiments les meilleurs.
|mon meilleur souvenir.
|Je vous adresse, ...,
|mon bon souvenir.
|Recevez, ...,
|mon fidèle souvenir.
Notes (These refer only to the phrases in column C)
- A man should never use "sentiments" when writing to a woman.
- This should only be used by a man writing to a woman.
- These are quite informal - use them carefully. For other informal closing formulas, see my lesson on personal correspondence.
- The exact salutation that you used to begin
your letter must be used in place of the ... in your closing formula.
- Column B is optional. Leaving it out will make the formula less formal.
Note that if you leave it out, you must drop the à in the Column A
- The formulas given here are in the first person singular (je). If you are
writing on behalf of a company, change everything to nous and be sure
to change the verb conjugations to match.
- You can use a pre-closer right before your closing formula, in the same sentence.

I don't know how you guys feel, but I feel like June was gone in a flash. I'm fairly certain the rest of the summer is going to go by just as quickly, so I plan on savoring every last bit of summer!
That being said, I think a summer soiree is in order. Admittedly, party planning is not my specialty. Luckily, my mama and sister happen to be experts at it, so they're able to help take all my ideas and use them to create killer celebrations!
This darling galvanized bucket is just the sort of thing I would like to add to my summer party planning arsenal. How cute is it?!? I love that you can customize the chalkboard label according to the type of event you're having. And it's under $15.00! Holy amazing deal Batman!

Sometimes when things sound too good to be true, they are. Our family decided to take a trip up to Sedona, AZ to celebrate the new year. Each year the Los Abrigados resort hosts an event called Sedona's Red Rock Fantasy, a holiday lights display. We were looking to get out of town and still enjoy the spirit of the holidays. We took our girls last year and they had a great time.
While our daughters where having a great time destroying the hotel beds by jumping back and forth between the two, I picked up the local magazine which had a featured article on chocolate. Being a terrible chocolate junkie, I was curious as to who had the best chocolate in town. Opting to try something different I focused on the two bakeries that offered raw chocolate. I had heard of good-for-you (and raw) chocolate, specifically Chava Chocolate, and was curious about it. Continue reading

Take Her Out to the Ball Game! Snooki Posts New Pics (Photos)Shana Aborn
Hey, batter batter batter!
The New York Mets have been on a cool streak following their promising start earlier in the season, but fans still hold out hope for a rally before September comes along.
Among their true-blue (and -orange) fans: none other than Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, who made the trip out to CitiField from Jersey yesterday to put in a celebrity appearance. She didn't get quite the reception she expected – the crowd in the stands booed her! – but that didn't faze her a bit.
"Havin so much fun at the mets game!" she tweeted. "My grandpa would be s—-ing his pants right now! Xoxoxo"
You see, it was her grandfather who introduced her to the Amazin's as a child, and loyalties run deep. Her hashtags yesterday included ones like #alwaysametsfan and #believe.
She tweeted some great pictures of herself, fiance Jionni LaValle and little Lorenzo. He may still be in utero, but he's being trained early to root for the likes of David Wright and R. A. Dickey.
Check out her ballgame shots here – plus a couple of glamor pics from the weekend!
And Let's Go, Mets!

Home > News > Avera Transplant Institute Performs 1,000th Transplant
Published on September 05, 2012
SIOUX FALLS (Sept. 5, 2012) – The Avera Transplant Institute is proud to announce that its medical team has performed the 1,000th transplant at Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center in Sioux Falls.
The total number of transplants includes bone marrow, kidney and pancreas transplants. "This is a significant milestone, marking experience and a proven track record in transplant," said Beth Plahn, administrative director at the Avera Transplant Institute at Avera McKennan.
As the first and leading kidney transplant program in the Dakotas, the Avera Transplant Institute is among only 21 percent of kidney transplant programs to receive a 2010 governmental award for transplant outcomes, for shorter waitlist times than national norms, and survival on the waitlist and after transplant at national norms.
The kidney transplant program was established in 1993. Pancreas transplant was added to the solid organ transplant program in 2003, and is the only such program in South Dakota.
The Dakotas' only bone marrow transplant program was started in 1996. It is fully accredited by the Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT) with three specialty transplant physicians in Sioux Falls. Bone marrow transplant is a life-saving treatment for cancers and disorders of the blood, such as leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndrome. Bone marrow transplant offers the highest overall disease-free survival rate by replacing malfunctioning, blood-forming cells found in the bone marrow.
Avera is currently home to the Dakotas' only liver disease program. Patients needing liver transplant can obtain many services at Avera McKennan to prepare them for transplant, and follow-up during recovery. Avera surgeons collaborate with another regional transplant center by rotating surgeons between programs and conducting joint care conferences. . This provides depth in expertise and coverage, and increases care for liver patients closer to home.
Avera Transplant Institute takes a multidisciplinary approach. Plaza 3 is the new expanded home of Avera Transplant Institute's comprehensive services for organ disease , including nephrology, liver disease, transplant and liver surgery, and endocrinology services. Bone marrow transplant is housed in the Prairie Center.
When referred to the Avera Transplant Institute, patients are immediately assigned to a transplant coordinator, who is with patients and their families at every step of the way throughout the transplant journey. Multidisciplinary weekly conferences ensure seamless care. Physicians specializing in transplant surgery, hematology, nephrology and hepatology comprise the medical team managing the patient's underlying disease, as well as the transplant course. They are in consultation with pathologists, radiologists, infectious disease specialists, pharmacologists, and others who routinely collaborate with expertise in transplant care.
"The Avera Transplant Institute provides A-to-Z care in one single center," said Dr. Tariq Khan, transplant and hepatobiliary surgeon with Avera Medical Group Transplant & Liver Surgery. "Right here in Sioux Falls, we offer an established program and experienced team with outcomes consistent with national standards."
"Here in Sioux Falls people can get the very same level of care, right next door, or at least nearby home," said Dr. Kelly McCaul, hematologist with Avera Medical Group Hematology & Bone Marrow Transplant. "We offer the same technology and expertise as bone marrow transplant programs in large metropolitan areas, yet we provide this care closer to home with the compassionate, personalized care that characterizes Avera."
"We are extremely proud of our expert transplant team. Avera McKennan has made a significant and long-term investment in the health of South Dakotans by building a program where people can receive tertiary-level treatment they need, right here at home. We continue to build on this long-standing and successful commitment to transplant services," Plahn said.

The Only Thing That Matters When Your Kid Has AutismLisa Quinones-Fontanez
It's amazing how six simple words can have such an impact on a child's life.
"… college athletes were asked what their parents said that made them feel great, that amplified their joy during and after a ballgame. Their overwhelming response: 'I love to watch you play.'"
Have you said those words to your child lately? In a recent a Huff Post Parents article, Rachel Macy Stafford shares why they are the 6 Words You Should Say Today.
I'll admit, I haven't. But I've said 6 other words instead. And those 6 words are just as important.
Last Saturday I ran my very first New York Road Runners race in support of Autism Speaks. My 7-year-old son Norrin participated in the kids race.
"Norrin, when the man says 'On your mark, get set, go' you have to run as fast as you can, okay?" I whispered into Norrin's ear.
I walked a few feet away to give Norrin some space. None of the other moms hovered the way I did – most of them didn't have to. The Road Runner volunteers had separated the boys and the girls. Norrin was one of the tallest among the boys. Mostly typical kids, a few on the spectrum.
It wasn't Norrin's first race, but I still worried. I always worried about Norrin especially around so many typical kids. Could he keep up with them? Would they stare at him?
I heard the Road Runner volunteer showing the boys how to stretch and prep for the run. Norrin was following along – not perfectly, but he tried.
And then it was time. As soon as the boys heard the word 'go', they were off. I really expected Norrin to be among the fastest. (He's a kid who likes to run.) But he wasn't. After running a few feet, Norrin slowed down to a walk. Some boys were still running and a few already finished.
Norrin scanned the crowd, looking for me or his dad. He was tired, winded, not used to running for a long stretch without a purpose. He's used to running to something, not running to win. I stepped out from the sidelines yelling Norrin's name, encouraging him to keep going. With me running and cheering beside him, Norrin finished the race. He was the very last one.
As Norrin crossed the finish line, I grabbed him and gave him a big hug and kiss, congratulating him on his accomplishment. "How do you feel?" Norrin asked. (We are working on feelings.)
"Proud. I am so proud of you!" I answered.
And I was. I didn't care that Norrin wasn't among the fastest or first to finish. I didn't care that he finished last. Win or lose – that doesn't mean a thing to me. The only thing that mattered is that Norrin had a chance to participate. And I loved watching every single second.

Hi folks:
I hoping somebody else has struck this minor problem, and found an answer.
After washing my bike, I notice water runs down the seat tube even with the post in place and down into the BB shell. I have a Chris King BB, and I have to trust that the o-rings at each end of the plastic BB centre sleeve are keeping that water out of the bearings, but it makes me nervous just the same...
There's no drain hole in the bottom of the Nomad bottom bracket shell, and I wondered if there was a good reason for that? Can anyone tell me why I shouldn't drill one? (apart from voiding the warranty, presumably). It wouldn't have to be very big - 3mm max.
But would that then allow water to get in from the bottom and into the suspension axles/pivots? I can't imagine they'd get any wetter than they do now...
For the time being, I just pull out the seat post after washing, and leave the bike upside for a while, but there must be a better way...
Any and all help gratefully appreciated...

First off – Thanks Harald for making a great solution for bringing TinyMCE into ExtJS. It works great!
One thing I'm struggling with is how to add custom buttons to the toolbar. In a non-extjs implementation of TinyMCE you can do this by simply adding the following to tinymce.init()
PHP Code:
setup: function(editor) {
editor.addButton('custom-button, {
title: 'Custom Button',
image: 'images/example.png',
onclick: function() {
// do whatever
Has anyone done this successfully? If so, how? If not, any ideas?
28 Feb 2013 11:05 AM #23
Try adding the button during the handler for "onBeforeRenderUI" instead of "setup"...
editor.onBeforeRenderUI.add(function(ed){ ed.addButton('custom-id',{ 'class': 'my-css-class', title: 'custom button' }); });
28 Feb 2013 1:24 PM #24
Thanks for the reply zombeerose.
What I just figured out is that both approaches actually work. The reason why my custom button wasn't showing up is because I wasn't actually instantiating it through the button config - ie: theme_advanced_buttons1: 'bold, italic, customBtnId, etc....'
Bonehead oversight on my part.
28 Feb 2013 11:32 PM #25
I've added added a custom button to tinymce that when clicked opens a ext window extended to a custom file browser. When a file is selected or uploaded I would like to insert an image tag into the tinymce editor, ideally outside of the tag containing the current cursor position – so that I can float it next to the current <p>.
Any thoughts on how to go about this would be super appreciated!
19 Apr 2013 8:43 AM #26
WHERE are you putting your setup function. I'm trying to add a button I tried adding a listener for setup but the function is never called.
20 Apr 2013 5:42 AM #27
nevermind, this worked for me.
editor.onBeforeRenderUI.add(function(ed){ ed.addButton('custom-id',{ 'class': 'my-css-class', title: 'custom button' });});

Read-i-ciden: The systematic killing of the love of reading, often exacerbated by the inane, mind-numbing practices found in schools. Reading is dying in our schools. Educators are familiar with many of the factors that have contributed to the decline-poverty, second-language issues, and the ever-expanding choices of electronic entertainment. In this provocative new book, Kelly Gallagher suggests, however, that it is time to recognize a new and significant contributor to the death of reading: our schools. InReadicide,Kelly argues that American schools are actively (though unwittingly) furthering the decline of reading. Specifically, he contends that the standard instructional practices used in most schools are killing reading by: valuing the development of test-takers over the development of lifelong readers; mandating breadth over depth in instruction requiring students to read difficult texts without proper instructional support; insisting that students focus solely on academic texts; drowning great books with sticky notes, double-entry journals, and marginalia; ignoring the importance of developing recreational reading; and losing sight of authentic instruction in the shadow of political pressures. Kelly doesn't settle for only identifying the problems.Readicide provides teachers, literacy coaches, and administrators with specific steps to reverse the downward spiral in reading-steps that will help prevent the loss of another generation of readers.

Andy Cohen's column on Dolphins.com appears at 6 a.m. every weekday from training camp through the season and when events warrant during the offseason. Occasionally, like today, Andy will provide six things to think about. Thus, the title, "Six at Six."
Be sure to follow Andy Cohen on Twitter at @ACohenFins.
1. This was a win for the old guard, the guys on defense. Somewhere, the No-Name Dolphins were smiling. You had the No. 1 defense against the No. 1 offense and this one wasn't close. Seattle's defense lived up to its ranking with a performance as dominating as you'll see on a stage this big. Yes, in this high-powered world of offensive dominance, defense still lives and prospers.
2. I never thought Peyton Manning and the Denver offense could be throttled this convincingly. I knew Seattle could make it tough. But this tough? This convincing? I really believed Denver had all the pieces, but it was Seattle that had all the answers. The precision passing attack of the Broncos looked dazed and over-matched.
3. Now you've got to wonder whether Manning will ever win his second Super Bowl. Time is running out on a remarkable career and the Seahawks, it does appear, aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
4. A word of praise for Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson. No, he doesn't put up inspiring numbers. But he is efficient, smart, rarely makes glaring mistakes and appears to be the perfect compliment for a team with a defense as strong as this one.
5. Pete Carroll has now taken his game to another level. With a college championship on his resume from USC and now a Super Bowl title, he has to be considered one of the elite coaches anywhere. I like his demeanor. I like the way he relates to his players. To build a team this strong in the manner that he has done it, is a remarkable accomplishment.
6. Now the Dolphins know how high the bar is set. Now they have another championship blueprint to study. And now, after watching what the Seahawks did, they know how important it is to continue to build their defense.

I had surgery today and had 3 cysts removed. One from my leg one from my back and one from my ear. This all being said my doctor informed me I have an elevated white count that they will have to check again in a week. So I was told it was 13;400. They expect it to be high because of HS.
This all being said has anyone ever been told they have an elevated white count all the time due to HS? If you have how high is your count?

Gates Mills officials confirmed that there are no plans to replace the Village's dam on the Chagrin River. The dam was destroyed by the recent flooding.
Gates Mills News Archive
17 March 2011
02 March 2011
Monday's flooding destroyed a 104-year-old lowhead dam on the Chagrin River in Gates Mills. It was the last remaining dam between the river's mouth and Chagrin Falls. The storm also damaged the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District's Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant in Cuyahoga Heights and led the sewer district to temporarily divert untreated wastewater directly into the Cuyahoga River.
Update: the Gates Mills dam probably won't be rebuilt. Its absence is expected to improve water quality and fish populations.
Update 2: repairs are underway at the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant.

A Double Shot At Love Premieres On MTV
December 09, 2008 07:00 AM by Joe Reality
A Shot At Love is back for a third season, but this time with twins. A Double Shot At Love stars bisexual twin sisters Rikki and Vikki, known as the "Ikki Twins." There will be a group of suitors including both straight guys and lesbians that will compete for each twin's affections.
The male and female contestants will face a number of romantic challenges in an effort to prove their worthiness to the twins. The twelve straight men and twelve lesbians competing will also all live under one roof. Each week the playing field will be narrowed down in an elimination ceremony.
The "Ikki Twins" were born in Pennsylvania, and Rikki is the older sister by two minutes. The twins have been inseparable since birth. Their modeling careers started to take off while they were in college at San Diego State University. Some of their modeling gigs include Bench Warmer Cards, Import Turner, Fast & Sexy, and Sexy Corvettes Calendar. A Double Shot At Love premieres on December 9 at 10 PM ET/PT on MTV.

Clam shell of 12 batteries
- Good price.
I had a hard time finding 123 lithium batteries in South Florida. Found Medic's website, no problem with the ordering. It took a little while to get here though, started to get concerned. Probably due to the Christmas holiday, but I was not compromised by it. Will use them in the future.

- Good Value!
No complaints here with these low priced Tenergy 123 batteries. Ship free too. You really can't beat the value. Performance is great in LED flashlights.

Tenergy 123 Lithium Batteries - 12/Pack (30220)
|Buy More, Save More
|$22.32 ($1.86/battery)
|$21.87 ($1.82/battery)
Tenergy 123 lithium batteries are unique in both having a wide market of consumer and industrial applications, but are not always easy to find or identify. Tenergy 123 lithium batteries offer the highest value in performance at a reasonable price. Each of the 123 lithium batteries incorporate PTC protection with a threshold of 5 AMPS. The PTC protection prevents excessive discharge that can damage lithium cells and lead to product damage and personal injury. 123 lithium batteries are consistently rated as a "Consumer Top Pick" amongst tactical flashlight enthusiasts. These batteries arrive in our warehouse charged at 3.2 volts.
How do Tenergy 123 lithium batteries stack up to the "gold standard" of Duracell Ultra 123 batteries?
- Tenergy is a highly affordable battery and the performance differential is not very significant
- Customer reviews of Tenergy 123 lithium batteries have been very positive in the marketplace
- Both Tenergy and Duracell have the expiration dates printed on each battery
- Tenergy 123 lithium batteries' capacity is generally 15-20% less than Duracell Ultra 123 batteries
- Duracell Ultra 123 batteries are made in the USA, while Tenergy 123 lithium batteries are made in China
- Tenergy batteries have a shorter shelf life than Duracell 123 batteries

Best one you've seen? I'd say it's undoubtedly the best since the Patriots first Super Bowl when they were 14 point dogs (more than the Giants today) to the Rams. But with what the Patriots were going for tonight, and the emergence of Eli Manning -- that's the best one I've seen.
The one with the Rams and the Titans was pretty good as well.
It's certainly in the conversation of 5 or 6 as the best ever. Could be the top.
I was hoping the Pats would get a FG at the end to push it into the first Super Bowl OT ever - would've been a signature "ending" to that game.
Maybe the best 4th quarter anyways. The first 3 quarters, especially 2 and 3, were kind of dull.
This was the greatest ending ever because the Pats were unbeatable.
My favorite superbowl ever where my favorite team didnt win
I wasn't bored during the first three quarters because I like watching good defense, too.
ISUAlum2002, good call with the Rams/Titans, I forgot about that. That's about as close as a game can get. You never see that happen in football, let alone the Super Bowl.
I've been a huge Tom Brady fan, but the way they left the field before the game was officially over was classless.

For the Titans...so close...yet so far away.
I would say this was the best, because the Giants were such a huge underdog.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
I'm a little torn. E Hobbs got beat on the game-winning TD pass. I did like the was the 'dog G'men played REALLY well. Well fought game, and the '72 Dolphins remain the only unbeatens. I still don't know how I feel...
Best ever. Immortality was on the line. It came down to the wire with one of the greatest plays in NFL history (Manning scramble to Tyree). A defensive battle worth watching again.
As I was watching it, I thought it was probably the greatest. However, I think that all this talk about the greatest Super Bowl has to do with the Giants' last drive. Had they not scored that touchdown and the Patriots would have won, all the talk would have just been about perfection and not the great game.
For that reason, I don't know if it's the greatest. I'm not old enough to make that saying but it's probably definately top 5.
The Rams and Titans was really good too. This one ranks right up there.

I agree this is what makes it the best SB ever! Also, this game was "WON"; there wasn't a critical "choke" play made by either team and the G-men were in "dire staits" several times on the game winning drive. High drama...
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please. - Mark Twain
This was one of the best SB games to watch. I can remember too many being over by half time. At least this one kept your attention until the end.
I completely agree. It was a snoozer, if only from an offensive standpoint. If anything, it wasn't that both teams' offenses were doing poorly, it's just that both teams' defenses were that good. Everything that the offense did well, the defense did better. It was simply a great game.

Santé Center for Healing
Santé Center for Healing
California Drug Rehab Center Review
Considering Rehab? See the highest rated rehab centers in the country.
Santé Center for Healing, in little Argyle, Texas, is a rollicking, roiling place, a rehab with the feel of a summer camp, where individuals struggle to overcome chemical, sex and food addictions. In the process, the residents—a mixed lot of up to 46 middle- to upper-class men and women—also have to contend with a seasoned staff of 150 who've seen it all when it comes to the many ways in which addiction wreaks havoc.
The demographic at Santé is open-ended, though it serves a primarily white and upper-middle-class segment, balanced out by small numbers of Hispanics and African-Americans. The facility also tends to attract more than its share of doctors who are struggling with substance-abuse issues, and it's emphatically gay-friendly. Beyond that, according to interviews with Santé alums, there are handfuls of millionaires paying out of pocket, wayward kids of wealthy parents, blue-collar types on charity grants and even addicts who've been on the popular A&E show Intervention. The one thing everyone has in common? In the words of one former resident, "most people there had hit a pretty serious bottom."
One of the pillars of any 12-step program is "fellowship"—and that's just what you'll get in terms of day-to-day life in this regimented, highly communal environment. Everyone rooms with one other person, and weekly jobs are selected from a "chore board" of mostly simple tasks like vacuuming one's group-session room or wiping down tables in the cafeteria after meals.
Mornings come early, with breakfast served promptly at 7 am, followed by classes, group sessions and, depending on the day, music therapy, meditation, "psychodrama"—aka role-playing—and more until lunch. In the afternoon, campers—er, residents—head outdoors for time on Santé's ropes course, followed by group sessions on specific addictions, weekly one-on-one therapy and, after dinner, AA, NA or SAA meetings and therapeutic "homework."
During free time in the evenings, some people organize volleyball games, work out at the small on-site gym or stroll the one-mile walking trail which threads its way through Santé's grounds. Residents can use the phone during certain hours of the day and night, for 15–30 minutes, and there's no TV or Internet allowed, save for occasional weekend movies and the odd sports game, such as the Super Bowl and the 2011 World Series (which featured the Texas Rangers). Other diversions include twice-a-week yoga classes, a rarely-used indoor swimming pool, a blacktop basketball hoop and a ping-pong table.
All that activity works up an appetite in rehabbers, which gets sated with "cafeteria-style [food]—and lots of it," said one alum. Hot breakfasts are served twice to three times a week, while filling lunches and dinners are middle-of-the-road American, featuring fried chicken, mashed potatoes, barbecue brisket, steaks, pasta and ribs, with a salad bar and delicious rolls. And we hope you like chicken, as you're going to be eating a lot of it at Santé: "They must own stock in Tyson," quipped one resident. If you can believe it, another reported that "someone raised emus, and so once or twice we had emu meat." She added, perhaps unnecessarily, "That was my least favorite." In general, non-meat-eaters might have a hard time of it. "I had to remind the cooks about my needs and sometimes I had to fend for myself," said one vegetarian. Full-strength coffee can be drunk until 11 am, with decaf and herbal teas throughout the rest of the day, while vending machines dispense snacks and a small amount of sweets.
Law and order is kept by both the staff and by "elected officials" among residents—"We had a sheriff and a mayor," said one—while a lot of emphasis is placed on residents policing themselves, with lengthy "come to Jesus" meetings held if the community becomes too unruly or fractured. Individuals, meanwhile, risk getting "de-leveled" (reduced privileges) for infractions like straying from an outing. It's not a permissive place: Tough love is the order of the day, with addicts held accountable for their behavior. "They were very firm about addiction-related boundaries," said one grad, "but very loving and gentle in the approach to healing." On the medical-staff side, competent nurses and mental-health techs are in residence 24/7, while either a general practitioner who specializes in addiction or a psychiatrist cover between them most of each week.
Santé handles spirituality in a democratic manner, with no religious path elevated above others—just an emphasis on finding a higher power. Non-Christians won't feel like they don't belong, as it's "definitely not a Bible-thumping place, even though many clients come from Baptist backgrounds," said one Santé grad. Other alumni cited well-received talks given by Father Leo Booth, "the Recovery Reverend," while another said he had a counselor who was a member of the Native American Lakota tribe, who held a small ceremony meant to release old ideas and bad spirits. "I thought it was wonderful, and I am by birth a Catholic," the resident said.
If you don't mind being part of a crowd, and the focus being more on the group than the individual, Santé Center might be a great fit. "Months and months later, I still turn to the long-term treatment skills they taught me, and to the community of Santé at large," testified one happily sober grad. Another shrewdly observed, "You're going to hate any treatment center you go to. [Santé] was the worst experience I had that saved my life—so therefore it became my best life experience."
