A little history - I had my son almost 9 years ago. I was told that he was breech at around 32 weeks, scheduled for an amniocentesis for lung maturity and a c/s. A week before the scheduled procedures when I was 36 weeks, I went into labor. I was young, and didn't know I was in labor. I just thought I had a bad case of constipation. Once my mom and I realized I was in labor, we headed to the car. On our way, my water broke and a foot popped out. An ambulance was called and I was rushed to the hospital. Once we arrived they said I was dilated to 10 and to start pushing. I thought I was going to get a vaginal breech delivery, but what I got was an extraction. He was coming out fine, then they grabbed his leg and he started going back in. The doctor then decided he needed to reach in with both hands and pull him out. Then they whisked him away.
It took about 25 minutes to stitch me up, I tore almost all the way to the middle of my crack (sorry tmi). Other than the terrible recovery from the tear, I was fine and so was my son. His lungs were fine, he weighed 5 lbs 14 oz and was 19 inches long. He is now a healthy 9 year old boy.
I didn't get to see him until about an hour after the birth and the whole experience was really traumatic for me and probably him too. I have since been diagnosed with a bicornuate uterus and told that was likely the reason for him being breech.
I am 33 weeks and 4 days pregnant now. I have been doing routine prenatal care with an OB, including many tests I am sure were unnecessary. I was also told that she doesn't do vaginal breech birth, no one does, so if he is breech I will need a c/s. She will let me go until 39 weeks to see if he turns. I had my last appointment around 30 weeks, where I was told he was breech and we would do an ultrasound in a few weeks to check position. I also failed the Glucose test by 4 points and would need to do the 3 hours test. She also strongly recommended I get a flu shot with swine flu shot included.
This pretty much did it for me. I have never had any reason to believe I have GD and I am not putting my body through fasting and then drinking that liquid sugar crap again. Also, I am 100% against a c/s. When the time came for my 32 week appointment, I really didn't want to go. So I canceled it, and said I would call to reschedule. That was about 2 weeks ago, I have not rescheduled and they haven't called.
Now to the point- I really don't want to go back to my OB and be ridiculed for not taking the 3 hour test or getting a shot. I don't want a hospital birth let alone a c/s. This baby is REALLY active and seems to flip A LOT, but it feels like he always moves back to a breech or transverse position. My son didn't move very much and I don't think his head ever moved from my top left side because there was always a large bump there. I am hoping that he stretched it out for this one and that is why he is able to move around so much. I am praying that he will be able to turn head down, but if he doesn't I am pretty confident I can have him breech unassisted with just my husband. I really think that when that foot popped out, had I done my research, been in water, trusted in my body and the birth process and calmly pushed him out, everything could have been fine and I would have avoided that awful situation.
What would you do? Should I make another appointment to check position? Does it not matter since I would try breech anyway? If something happens and I need to transfer, will I be treated badly if I didn't continue prenatal care past 30 weeks? If I have a successful unassisted birth, breech or not, what do I do after? Do I just take the baby to a pediatrician in the next few days? Do I call my OB? I don't really want the post partum check up either. As long as I am feeling fine and have no weird symptoms, I don't think it is necessary.
Also as I said before, I don't have support other than my husband. My mother is very medically oriented and worried because of the way my son's birth happened and my bicornuate uterus. She always asks questions, so I lied and said I went to the doc appointment when I canceled it, and I will have to keep lying or she will freak out. What makes it even harder is we currently live with her. We are trying to rent a house in the next month, but don't know if it will happen so I don't know if an unassisted birth would even be possible. She is already talking about being in the room at the hospital, etc so I am afraid she will call 911 or try to force me to the hospital.
Any advice or similar experiences would really be appreciated. Thanks!
Do you know about the Spinning Babies website? It is very helpful for learning to accurately assess the position of the baby. If you are confident that you know what position your baby is in at the time you go into labor, you can make decisions on the basis of that.
You could go to the hospital after, call an ambulance (depending on circumstances, of course) or just not do anything. I never went for a postpartum checkup after my UC with #4. Some people take their kids to the pediatrician a few days after birth, especially if they want tests done. I may or may not. If baby is healthy, I probably will not for at least a week.

I'd probably stay home if you aren't terribly far from a hospital and if everyone is supportive who is there - (not going to panic and call 911 for nothing.)
Read up on UC and UC birth stories and check out the UC resources thread with info on how to handle complications.
I would totally be freaking out if what had happened to you had happened to me. It's great that you got to deliver your son vaginally but OUCH! That doctor was probably too ignorant to know how to handle the breech delivery.

I just wanted to answer your question.
What would you do?
I would get a new doctor or midwife. It's not too late.
I would continue to trust your instincts.
I would sit down w/your mom explain your fears. constantly remind her during your talk that it is YOU who is having the baby. You appreciate her concerns and love for you but what YOU need from her is SUPPORT.
INVOLVE her by asking her to help you look for a new dr/midwife.
YOu also need an advocate.
Is a Doula an option?
There might be complications. What it sounds like you need is support and a safe place to birth. It is frustrating to have to fight when you should be focusing on yourself and the baby.
If you can only go back to your dr. I would be very clear. Perhaps your husband could accompany you. Demand answers, demand respect.
If you are in america are you not paying this person?
IF the Dr. "feels" strongly about that. Look for someone else.
TRUST you will find it. You will be so proud of yourself that you have demanded the birth experience you want.
Good Luck!
Do what you feel is right for you and baby. I must have missed the part about you living with your mom. Woops!
If you can't rent an apartment by the time you have to birth then, the idea of going to hotel sounded good from a PP. I totally get why you are lying to your mom. It isn't any of her business anyway. Not really. Definitely try to get out of there before you have to give birth if possible. That'll make things easier on you. She'll get over it if she finds out you gave birth without her. If you feel confident in speaking to her, you can tell her that you would prefer if it was an experience just between you and the father. And then fib about having a hospital birth if you would rather she didn't know it was an UC and if she asks questions you just say everything went fine (if it goes fine.) If something goes wrong and you have to transfer, then your mom doesn't need to know too much about it. She can just know about the hospital part of the experience if you want her to know.

My parents probably think that I'm planning a home birth with a midwife because of what I posted on facebook and I'm not telling them otherwise. If my mom asks questions I'll keep it very general. Things went great, it was a great birth, etc. Then switch to talking about how cute baby is.
Happily married Christian SAHM of 2 boys, DD1 , and DD2 July 2013
Spinningbabies.com has great info, and the techniques might help you. But you should also prepare yourself for the possibility that your baby will not turn, and you will need a c-section. Working with your doc would be a good plan here - you probably don't want to be operated on by someone who will be surprised by your bicornate uterus.
|karynao is wrong about getting a doc to go along with a breech delivery if that was what she was trying to say. I don't think any doctors will do those anymore on purpose anyway.
OP It is so unfair that your OB will not consider a vaginal birth for you especially since you have proven you *Can* birth a breech baby. Have you called around to see if there are any OB/MW/FP that you could transfer to? If you are within 3 hours of Atlanta there is one I can suggest you try
Good luck & ELV -

I never like taking a healthy tiny baby to a doctor's office (where there are sick people). But you need to gauge how you feel after the birth. If you'll feel less anxious bringing the baby in (and if you want to vaccinate her at birth), then it makes sense to do so. For me, my anxiety levels go way up at the doctor's office and I often come away feeling disrespected (made to wait for unreasonably long periods of time, chastised for refusing the medical intervention "offered," given free samples of products that are harmful, etc.)
I also wanted to say that I'm sorry for what you are going through, and for how badly you are being treated during this pregnancy. Unfortunately, it's indicative of a much larger problem in pre and post natal care in our country. Don't go back to that practice where no one seems to be listening to you, caring for you, or giving you options. Perhaps, instead, you could find a homebirth midwife in your area?
I know a midwife here who had three unassisted homebirths with a lot of complications (let's call them special circumstances). She is incredibly kind, generous, and supportive, and her goal is to support laboring women. I am sure she would welcome a phone call from you and have a lot of very good advice to give you (and support). If you are interested in talking to her, please contact me privately (my email is on my website at www.jennifermargulis.net) and I will put you in touch.

What if 911 is called, but then not needed, can I refuse to go with them?
KittyWitty - I live in Michigan, so the farm is a little too far. Getting a hotel room is a good idea though. I was thinking about the pediatrician because I thought that might make it easier to get a birth certificate, but I guess a few days or a week doesn't make much of a difference.
Has anyone birthed in a hotel room? How was your experience? I am curious how it would work, what clean up would be like, etc.
Day - I live within an hour of at least 5 hospitals. I have been reading tons of birth stories, resources, I am going to print Emergency Childbirth and other UC documents. My husband was in the military and received some medical training. He also knows how to do infant cpr. The doctor DEF didn't know what he was doing. There were 17 doctors and nurses people in the room, and it was a teaching hospital so most of them were learning and learned his awful technique. Also, what REALLY ticked me off was that I was only 17, scared and wanted my mom then and they wouldn't let her in. Out of those 17 people they could of got rid of half and gave me my mom but nope. I didn't see her until about 45 minutes after. Thanks so much for all your kind words. I love my mom but she can be quite overbearing. I understand she is worried, and I have thought about trying to talk to her about it, but the one time I mentioned a home birth, she pretty much cringed. Waiting until after the event to tell her is probably better. It is harder to worry about the details when everyone is fine and there is an adorable baby in front of her.
Karynao – Trusting my instincts would be to no longer see my OB and have a UC. As Day stated, finding a doctor or midwife here that is supportive of a breech is pretty much impossible. Even then, they probably would require a complete breech. My son was a footling, that could be a possibility again and I am okay with that, but I am sure they wouldn't be. My insurance is Medicaid, so my choices are pretty limited as well, and we can't afford to pay a midwife out of pocket. Also, I feel that birth is an intimate thing between me and my husband. I don't like the thought of strangers being involved.
Lisa – I live in Michigan, and unfortunately there is no one around me that does breech.
Thank you everyone so much for your kind words, advice and support.
There are lots of people that talk about how great UC and HB is for low risk cases, but, unfortunatley, this is not low risk at all. This is what hospitals are there for, and its better to be there than hope you can transfer in time. And hotels are full of germs!
I know its not what you want, but Im sure a healthy baby is more important, and this is the best way to get one in your situation. There are just way to many risks for me to feel comfortable suggesting UC or HB. I know you are limited by your Medicaid, but I bet you could find a hospital that will treat you well.
I'm also sorry you had such a bad experience the first time, that tear sounds awful!
Good luck!
I was as low risk as it gets, everyone said I would have no problems, and that the baby was around 7#. I expected to push him out alone! BUT After 35 hours of labor, fully dilated, fully effaced, then 2 hours of pushing, 2 hours of "laboring down", then 1.5 MORE hours of pushing, the baby had other plans! He was stuck! You could see the top of his head, but he wouldn't come down. When they got him out, they said he was totally stuck, like a cork in a bottle, and it had started to effect his breathing. He also was 9.2#, not 7 !
Anyway, I wanted to let you know that my CS was much better than expected in every way, so if you have to have one it will be OK. It doesn't have to be horrible! I was home after 3 days, up and running errands after a week, totally back to normal by 2 weeks. Pain control was excellent, and the nurses were caring. I thought it would be traumatic- and it WAS scary at first- but it ended up fine, my DH was with me the whole time. I got to nurse him right away, and he latched on like a champ!
Best Wishes!
Btw- baby weight estimates are notoriously wrong and scientifically unproven. They said my son was huge, they induced, he was premature and still has neuro issues. And barely 7 lbs instead of the 9+ they were guessing. A 9 lb baby is not difficult to birth compared to other weights. It's fairly common. Not that your c-section was not warranted or good for you, but just because a baby is above the "average" does not mean a c-section is necessary. At all.
Can you see a chiropractor for the Webster technique? Transverse birth will NOT happen, but breech is certainly possible.
AP Mom to 5
It does not have to be horrible, no. But this is not what she wants and it's reasonable she would want to avoid it. At the very least, the increased neonatal and maternal death rate warrant doing whatever possible to avoid it.

My CS wasn't because he was 9#, which is not even big these days. It was because his HEAD was too big to fit through my pelvis. I've heard it's not too common for the head to be too big (more common to get stuck because of baby's position, NOT head size) but it does happen. My little guy came out with a Charlie Brown noggin!
Its amazing to me that with all the technology we have, we still can't figure out how big a baby is!
I would definitely NOT call 911 and then refuse to go with them. There is a chance they will freak out and cause a lot of issues for you. I know a local family that did this - called 911 (for issues with mom, not the baby), but just wanted to paramedics to check mom out, not have her go to the hospital, and they freaked and demanded the baby go to the hospital. They then took the baby to the hospital. Then, they ended up having CPS called on them AND were criminally charged with child endangering.
This is not to say that you shouldn't call 911. If you even think there is a chance you need them, you should call. But, once you call, you should accept that you have entered the system and will have to go along with it.
Also, I would rather have a c/s than a breech with an caregiver inexperienced in breech births. This is exactly what you experienced before - trauma at the hands of a caregiver who doesn't know what they are doing.
I honestly don't know what I would do in your position, OP. I'm sorry you are going through this :-( If it were me, I would probably start by looking to see if anyone would attend a vaginal breech birth - just to rule out the possibility. If I found someone, I wouldn't necessarily forgo a UC, but I always feel better when I know what options I have. Having that as an option you could choose would be nice, I think. Knowing that it truly isn't an option would also be helpful.
Best of luck to you, mama, and please keep us posted :-)

|I don't think any doctors will do those anymore on purpose anyway.
OP, have you called other caregivers in your area to see if there is anyone who is comfortable attending a breech birth? You may have better luck with older caregivers; they're more likely to have learned about vaginal breech birth. It should help that you've already birthed a breech baby.

Actually, that's a common misconception. It is possible in some circumstances to turn the baby right up to the end. I was carring transverse and ended up birthing breech in a calm, perfect UA (well assisted by my husband) home birth. My midwife (consulted) was very reassuring.
First of all, I am SOOOO sorry you had such a horrible experience with your previous breech birth! I really wish every woman could have a perfect birth experience. Stories like yours make me SO mad at doctors!!! You and your baby were in more danger from the way you were mishandled than from the breech birth!!!
Second, you should find a supportive midwife. Search high and low until you find one who can reassure you. I'd even totally recommend going to The Farm, as mentioned before if was even a possibility for you. Your mother is going to need to know, eventually (since you live with her). Mine was not supportive either, but YOU have to fight for the birth experience YOU want. You do need assistance from a professional, though. And it will help you feel much more at ease.
It may be that you will have to "accidentally" birth at home/hotel, etc. Then just go to the ER to be checked out after.
I would also look into the legal reprucussions for your state. It can get pretty scarey if you don't do things the way the medical professionals deem nescesary.

I went to Utah for my next baby because I couldn't get health care here. She was vaginal, but hospital born (and I had to have a heplock, for the crime of having had a previous c/s).
Baby #3 was down here again and was born vaginally. I moved from here to northern AZ over 8 years ago and returned only a few months ago. I met one of the nurses from the hospital. She said that all previous c/s there were now an automatic repeat section and that I had been lucky. I had my son in the 1 or 2 year window when they were "allowing" vaginal births. Apparently, having a vaginal birth in between meant nothing.
For those reasons, I would go for a UC unless my instincts or studies showed me I should not. To condemn yourself to the knife forever after (at least legally) is not cool. Your area may be different, I know. Still, you've shown yourself that you can do it and I agree 100% that if you'd had water to be in, your baby would have been fine, footling and all.
I'm convinced if I had been able to follow my instincts (I desperately wanted to be in a water filled bathtub, but spouse and mw said "no" - I had not yet heard of UC), I would never have had a c/s.
As far as your mother goes, if you do happen to be in her house, it is possible you could go into labor at night while she's asleep. I wonder if that would work. Of course, the best route would be your own place or a hotel/motel.
Best of luck, and good vibes headed your way.
p.s. Lest this seem unrelated, I assure you I am thinking that if you avoid an initial c/s, you'll be avoiding a lot of future unwanted consequences.
in your shoes, i'd want to keep up a relationship with an OB because of the elevated chance that you will need a c-section. i have a friend with a unicornate uterus who had one butt-first breech and one transverse breech baby, and that transverse baby was not going anywhere (turned out he had hydrocephaly, which makes position even trickier). so, if it comes down to needed a c-section, it seems reasonable to choose who is going to do it.
good luck!
Thank you all so much for the support and advice, I really appreciate it.
I just wanted to update. I am 37 weeks tomorrow, I have continued with my UP and I feel great. It is amazing to not feel bound to doctors' orders and appointments.
My babe is still moving around a lot, but he has been spending more time in the center of my belly and or head down. He still moves to a diagonal lie sometimes, but not continuously like before. He is currently vertex.
I am hoping when he decides to settle down, he stays in this position.
If he is transverse when I go into labor, then I will suck it up and go to a hospital since he won't be able to come on his own. If he is in a favorable position then my plan is to keep my mom from knowing that I am in labor as long as possible. Then I will tell her that I want to labor at home for a while before going to the hospital. If it turns out to be an oops well then... oops
If she has a problem with me going to the hospital when I feel like it, we will leave and go to a hotel.
That is my plan as of now.
Sounds great, good luck!
Sounds like a good plan.
I haven't read the replies properly, just skimmed. But in your case I would probably continue care with an ob. Reason being if you do birth breech and tear badly you can easily transfer and say it was an accidental homebirth (like it happened too fast) and get stitched up without as much drama. I would refuse any tests your OB wants you to have. I would think it would be your right legally to refuse any, but I don't know the laws in the US.
I also would not feel comfy birthing at home while living with an unsupportive or unaware mother. And I cannot even imagine birthing in a hotel! What if the 'neighbors' hear your noises and call the police? How will you relax knowing there are other people right beside the bedroom wall who can hear you birthing? What if you got blood on the carpets, how would you explain that one to the staff? I don't know, that would have to be a last resort for me personally. But if its in your comfort level then go for it. I think it would be much better to find your own place. Or even maybe one of those holiday stay homes you could rent for a few weeks, that would be a lot more private.
I would definitely feel comfy birthing breech. And you have done it before so you know your body can do it. Best of luck whatever you decide to do
Just wanted to add a few points:
I would definitely NOT call 911 and then refuse to go with them. There is a chance they will freak out and cause a lot of issues for you. I know a local family that did this - called 911 (for issues with mom, not the baby), but just wanted to paramedics to check mom out, not have her go to the hospital, and they freaked and demanded the baby go to the hospital. They then took the baby to the hospital. Then, they ended up having CPS called on them AND were criminally charged with child endangering.
This is not to say that you shouldn't call 911. If you even think there is a chance you need them, you should call. But, once you call, you should accept that you have entered the system and will have to go along with it.
This is not what EMTs are for. EMTs are trained to stabilize and transport. If you call them, that is what they are going to try to do. Asking them to evaluate whether you need to go to the hospital is going to make them cranky: they don't have the training to tell if a patient is doing well or badly post-partum (they do, maybe, an hour or two on pregnancy and birth in training, they can see the obvious, but lots of subtle things can go wrong), and they can be sued if they tell you that you're fine and you turn out not to be.
I think EMTs are awesome, when you need the thing they do. If that thing is not what you need or want, don't call them.

Leading these movies that are new to DVD is Elia Kazan's 1963 black-and-white epic "America America," which is well worth checking out, as is the new Blu-ray edition of "Thelma & Louise." The newer films here? Not so much.
"America America" (Warner, 1963, b/w, $19.97).Based on the life of Kazan's uncle, this is a straightforward, character-driven story of a young man's burning desire to leave his oppressive Turkish homeland for the land of the free, America.
The nearly three-hour film begins in the late 19th century as young Stavros (wonderfully played by Stathis Giallelis in his only movie role) is given the meager family fortune to travel to Constantinople, where he will work for his uncle. But along the way, he loses the money, which displeases his uncle, and he soon finds himself on the streets. Eventually, a near-tragedy forces him to return in shame to his uncle's home, and he is given the opportunity to marry a young woman from a wealthy family. But all Stavros wants is to try and find a way to go to America.
To say his goal is foiled repeatedly is to understate, and it's all too complicated to detail here, but suffice to say, the film is completely engrossing, entrancing filmmaking of the first order. And the conclusion is wonderfully realized.
Extras: widescreen, audio commentary, trailers
"Thelma& Louise" (MGM/Blu-ray, 1991; R for violence, language, sex, brief nudity, drugs; $19.99). Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis are an inspired team in this still terrific feminist yarn, which also boosted the career of Brad Pitt, who stands out in a small role. And the stunning scenery of southern Utah has never looked more vibrant than in this Blu-ray transfer. The film is set in four other states, but it's all Utah, folks.
Extras: widescreen, deleted/extended scenes, audio commentaries, featurette, storyboards, music video, trailers
"You Again" (Touchstone/Blu-ray, 2010, PG, two discs, $39.99).A fine cast is squandered in this shrill, unfunny comedy, which, sadly, marks yet another big-screen failure for the talented Kristen Bell, who has the lead role as a successful young woman heading home for her brother's wedding. On the flight, she discovers he is marrying the prom queen who terrorized her during high school. Worse, the girl's mother (Sigourney Weaver) did the same thing to Bell's mother (Jamie Lee Curtis). Also here are Kristin Chenoweth, Victor Garber and Betty White.
Extras: widescreen, Blu-ray and DVD versions, deleted scenes, featurettes, webisode of "Funny or Die," trailers (also on single-disc DVD, $29.99)
"Life As We Know It" (Warner/Blu-ray, 2010, PG-13, two discs, $35.99).Like Bell, Katherine Heigl has made one bad sleazy romantic comedy after another, and this one doesn't reverse the trend. Heigl and Josh Duhamel experience a disastrous date, decide they hate each other, then find they are both named guardians for a baby whose parents have died. They take up residence in the same house to raise her, and hilarity ensues. We wish.
Extras: widescreen; Blu-ray, DVD and digital versions, deleted scenes, featurettes, trailers (also on single disc DVD, $28.98).
"The Romantics" (Paramount, 2010, PG-13, $19.99).Duhamel also shows up in this one, set to marry Anna Paquin as their college pals gather for the rehearsal dinner and the wedding the next day. You'll be forgiven if "Rachel Getting Married" comes to mind from time to time. The college grads prove to be spoiled rich kids who drink too much, while the maid of honor (Katie Holmes) and Duhamel rekindle old feelings. Paquin seems miscast, and though things start off well, ultimately it all collapses under the weight of over-familiarity and lack of wit. Candice Bergen, Elijah Wood and Adam Brody co-star.
Extras: widescreen, featurette, trailers
"I Do (But I Don't)" (Lifetime, 2004, $14.95).Denise Richards still isn't much of an actress, but I found this small-screen comedy easier to take than those above. She's a wedding planner who falls for a firefighting hunk (Dean Cain). But wait, isn't he the groom in her next wedding? This one brings "My Best Friend's Wedding" to mind.
Extras: full frame, trailers
"How I Married My High School Crush" (Lifetime, 2007, $14.95).Katie Sackhoff is a 17-year-old in high school in love with a guy who doesn't know she exists. All it takes is a solar eclipse and a wish to send her to the future and their wedding day, which isn't what she expects. Pretty weak.
Extras: full frame, trailers
"Repo Chick" (Industrial, 2009, $24.95).Wacky but not funny 25-years-later follow-up (sort of) to "Repo Man" by the same filmmaker, Alex Cox, who uses cartoons, toys and cheesy effects to bolster the story of a Paris Hilton-ish rich girl who is disinherited and becomes the title character, with several punk pals in tow, only to become embroiled in a terrorist plot. Rosanna Arquette and Karen Black show up in supporting roles.
Extras: widescreen, featurette, trailer
"High Lane" (IFC, 2009, $19.98).This horror film is in the don't-go-in-there genre that includes such films as "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "Wrong Turn" and "The Hills Have Eyes," among many others. In this case, a group of young, attractive hikers vacation in Croatia, where they find themselves stalked by a killer.

Rights Labelling on our Site
Generally speaking all works eventually fall out of copyright and when they do they enter that vast commons of shared material called the "public domain". However, different countries have different laws about when this happens (in this sense there can be seen, at some level, to actually be many different 'public domains'). Also, digital copies of these public domain works sometimes have copyright attached to them (or restrictions applied on their use), regardless of the fact that the underlying work is in the public domain. Rights and licenses applying to public domain works can therefore be divided into two broad categories:
- The rights status of the underlying work, by which is meant the actual original work itself (the words of a book, the actual physical painting or drawing, a musical score, etc).
- The rights status of the digital copy, by which is meant the digital reproduction of this original work (the scan, photograph, digitisation etc., i.e. the medium by which the underlying work makes its way onto screens and the internet).
ON THE UNDERLYING WORKLaws dictating when works fall into the public domain vary all over the world, and as such there occur situations where a work is considered to be public domain in one country but not another. On The Public Domain Review we try to feature mostly work which is in the public domain worldwide, but we do also feature works which have this partial or 'hybrid' public domain status, that is they are considered public domain in some countries but not all. Below is a summary of the different kinds of rights most relevant to our content. Please note that these should be seen as our best approximations and not by any means as the final legal word on a work's status. If re-using material we highly encourage you to investigate further. In some cases it will be simple, in some it will not!

ON THE DIGITAL COPYAs mentioned earlier, many institutions claim copyright or restrictions on use (via contracts on the site stipulated in the Terms or Conditions of Use) which restrict the reuse of the digital copies they have made of public domain works. The different ways institutions can label the digital copies they make (be it explicitly or through general terms of use statements/contracts) can be generally categorised into ways that are "open" (public domain, attribution, share-alike) and those that are "restricted" (non-commercial). The following labels which we apply on our site are, again, our best approximations from the evidence available, so if re-using please do double-check on the original institution's site itself.
If digital copies on our site are labelled with this it implies that they are considered by us to have had no additional rights added to them by the digitising institution – they have been dedicated to the public domain by the waiving of all rights to the work worldwide under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights, to the extent allowed by law. Re-use of the works is also not restricted by Terms of Use statements. You can copy, modify and distribute the digital copy, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.

God of War
Review by Galactus21
"A redefining and thought provoking experience"
Cruelty and compassion; and whether it is better to be loved than fear, or the reverse Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527)
Over the centuries many have pondered if ruling with compassion is better than ruling with cruelty. In the case of God of War, it is definitely better to be cruel and feared than it is to be compassionate and loved. The game's main character, Kratos comes off, as a head strong, take no crap from anybody, weapon wielding badass that one would only see in the movies. In fact he shows his cruelty in the very beginning when he sacrifices an innocent man. Ryu Hayabusa and Dante can both take a back seat, as Kratos takes coolness to another level. Based on Greek mythology, Kratos is a servant of the Gods of Olympus. Kratos starts the game off by doing the biddings of the Gods. Soon after the story becomes clear and the plot is set. Ares, the God of War, is running rampant on Athens. Being the God of War, it gives this game a very fitting name. Ares is a renegade God from Olympus and because Zeus the God of Gods has set forth a rule that no Gods will harm each other, the Gods order Kratos to do their biddings. Ares has unleashed hell on Athens and his demonic creatures take over and burn the city to the grounds. Enriched in Greek Mythology, God of War is set to thrill and keep your heart pounding till its bittersweet ending.
Playing this game soon after I read Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince, I could not help but draw similarities between the book and the game. Considering the fact that many Machiavellian principles are based on war and how to stay in power. These principles apply to God of War in a sense that they are both about power. While not a Prince, Kratos is still someone who wields a lot of power and commands a lot of respect. Fresh off such an insightful book, I could not help but tie Machiavellian principles in with this amazing game about power and destruction.
Composite Principalities
And here it has to be noted that men must be either pampered or crushed, because they can get revenge for small injuries but not for grievous ones.
Well it is quite apparent that Ares has decided to crush the ordinary citizens rather then pamper them. Throughout Athens, his forces overrun the city and many of his minions wield a vast amount of power. Kratos, once a Captain of the Spartan army, is now a minion of the Gods of Olympus. Kratos as the Captain of the Spartan army was a man consumed with power, he used brutal tactics, and many feared him. With a brutal and unforgiving past, Kratos sets forth on a final quest for the Gods in order to fulfill his service to them. Kratos is neither a hero, nor a villain; he was a man that craved power and respect like many men in their time.
So good it hurts
God of War is an action title that will consume you, its intensity will send sweat throughout your body, and in the end of each session you can expect a painful pair of hands. That is right; God of War is so good it hurts. After playing the game through long hours and enduring countless battles with long strings of combos, my hands have become weak and sore. Soreness is a small price to pay if you ask me. So suck it up and play through the pain and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed by this incredible experience. Be prepared to play long hours because this game is extremely addictive. Not only is this game addictive, but the story will also keep one on the edge of one's toes. The game draws heavy influence from an inveterate Greek mythology.
God of War's combat system strays from the norm and offers a whole new perspective to action titles. Instead of a traditional sword or even a nunchuck, Kratos wields these two huge blades that are tied to unbreakable chains that are imbedded in his arms. These blades are called the Blades of Chaos, a powerful and chaotic weapon that was forge from Hades himself. When one uses this unique and baneful weapon, one will find that this weapon can propel itself across far distances. The game has a light and heavy attack, which can be pressed in any order to pull together strings of combos. Just utilizing these two attacks, God of War already has a deep and engrossing combat system, but one can use magic and throws to form larger and more alluring combos. God of War's combat system is incredibly deep and there are many combo possibilities. One can use combos that are provided each time one levels up or one can be creative and form one's own combos.
A combat engine that brings a whole new perspective to action games
Blades and grabs
When talking about God of War's combat system, I don't even know where to start. So stay with me here okay. This combat engine is insane and incredibly deep, so deep that it will take numerous lines to get the point across. When starting the game out, one can use throws and light and heavy attacks. In the very first battle, one can sense the depth in the combat system. A short tutorial will give one the basics in this combat system, but soon after the tutorial, one will find oneself pulling combos of amazing proportion. Using just the light and heavy attacks, one can pull together a few light attacks and then end it with a heavy attack that will do excessive damage to the enemy. When one starts mixing in throws, the game becomes even more fun and rewarding. For example if one holds down the triangle button, one can launch the enemy in the air, launch himself in the air simultaneously and slash the enemy a few times with the blades, and then while still in the air perform a grab move and one ends up tossing an enemy around like a rag doll. However the grab move alone has a good amount of variation. Grabbing an enemy and pressing different attack buttons will perform different grabs. The combat system in a sense is quite chaotic, but at the same time it is very well balanced. It takes the best of both worlds and melds it together very well. One can duke it out on the floor or take the fight into the air. Let me tell you, jumping in the air and waving your blade around is not only cool, but also very effective against larger enemies.
Magic System
If your not yet convinced about the depth of God of War, then let me describe the amazing magic system. If your still not impress after this, then you might as well give up gaming. The magic system in itself is exceptionally deep. Again going back to the blades, one can mix and match the blades with the magic system. Some opponents may be too difficult to handle head on, so luckily for you, Medusa's head can be added to your arsenal. Take out her head and turn your enemies to stone. Ever dreamed of throwing lightning bolts at someone or wield Hades army? Well you can do that too, in fact it is quite effective against archers and to keep enemies at bay. My favorite magic is actually the first one that is available. With a vast amount of enemies around, this magic attack along with the blades can string together combos upward to two hundred hits or at least that was my maximum. What I would do is let the enemies have it with the blade and then finish them off with a massive energy attack.
Other form of attacks and weapons
With all that I have written, you would probably think that I have finished describing the combat system, but guess again. The combos are endless and stringing these combos together is not only a pleasure, but also an accomplishment. One move that I have become quite fond of is the blocking attack. When blocking, one can propel an enemy in the air, and once this occurs one can start twirling his or her blades to form one massive combo. That is not the end of it, while pressing a different button while in block mode will perform a different attack. So when one knocks an enemy into the air, one can toy around with the different block attacks and see what they can come up with, or one can use normal attacks to finish off an enemy that way. Another cool move is the charge move, where one can charge at an enemy and string together three hits and soon after, one can follow that up with other attacks. Another form of attack is ability to strike an enemy while climbing walls or rocks. Instead of leaving Kratos defenseless, Kratos has the ability to grab an enemy and start bashing his head into a wall of rocks or he can swing his mighty blades and knock an enemy off. About a third of the way through the game, one will get one's second weapon. The weapon is a sword and a cool looking one at that. The combos for the sword are more powerful and does more damage, but the combos are more limited then the blades. The sword is also slower too, thus making the sword more effective against slower enemies. I leveled it up once, but I stopped there because I preferred the unique and far reaching blades.
When facing bosses in this game, icons over their heads will pop up. In order to defeat them, one has to press those combinations of buttons. This does not only apply to bosses, but also normal enemies. Much larger enemies usually have icons pop up. However it is not necessary to press those icons to defeat the enemies. They will go down eventually, but killing them through the icon pop ups will spawn health orbs. On some specific enemies, one has to press a variety of buttons in order to kill an enemy and if one misses they will take damage to oneself. It may take a bit to get used to, but once one does then pressing these icons should be a cakewalk.
Puzzles, Platforming, and Item Searching
The puzzles in this game are rather simplistic, which is understandable since this game is an action title. However the puzzles in the game does a great job at breaking up the action. To keep things fresh, the puzzles are a way to ease the tension of the numerous fights. The plat forming is intuitive and the smooth controls allow for easy movement. However there will be a few instances where the camera gets out of place and it will make it hard to see where one must jump. On several occasions, one will have to backtrack and collect items that will allow them to proceed. For example some cranks will be missing levers or an item is needed to proceed to the next area. The superb level designs allow for item searching and backtracking to be rather painless, in fact through the intensity of the fights along the way it can be extremely satisfying.
Superb Level Design
The level design is absolutely brilliant. The levels are connected to each other and offer a very authentic feel to it. The levels being interconnected reinforce the thought of cohesiveness. One can always go back and check to see if anything has been missed. Unlike other level designs, God of War melds these levels together and shows off its gorgeous view. On several occasions the game forces one to play through a certain part of a game before one can go to another part. While the game is quite linear, it does offer exploration to some extent. The game also has many routes that allow for easy access and painless backtracking.
Throughout God of War, there will be three distinct types of orbs. These types of orbs will be green, blue, and red. Each with its own specific use, the orbs will help Kratos along his journey. Killing enemies will always spawn orbs, but depending on how the enemy is killed will determine the color of it. If one kills an enemy through pressing the icon button, then one will increase one's chance in getting healing orbs. However for the most part, red orbs will spawn when an enemy is killed. Throughout the course of one's adventure, one will find many treasure chests containing a significant amount of these orbs. Treasure chests will also contains feathers and eyeballs, which extends the life bar and magic meter. Collecting as many red orbs as possible will enable one to level up one's weapons and magic attack. The red orbs are the bases to the game's level up system.
Rpg Elements
As mentioned before hand, collecting red orbs will allow Kratos to level his weapons and magic up. A certain amount of these orbs will enable Kratos to level his weapons up. After each level, the amount of orbs for the next level will increase. Each time a weapon or magic attack is leveled up, its power will increase, or there will be more moves to perform, and sometimes both will occur. Progressing through the game, Gods such as Zeus, Hades, and Athena will grant Kratos a specific item or weapon that will help Kratos through his adventure. As one progresses, one will find that Kratos will become stronger and more deadly.
Boss Battles
With the game's many bright spots, it is hard to single out one thing that sticks out in my mind. God of War's boss battles are simply astonishing. Each fight is a war in itself. The fights are intense and breathtaking. On many occasions after a boss battle, my hands were sweating because of the intensity. Some of the battles can be long, but the developers did a great job at maintaining its pleasure throughout the boss battles, which unlike some games it made the game a chore to play.
With the many enemies that Kratos will encounter, the controls would have to be crisp and sharp in order to deal with these threats. Well suffice it to say, God of War's controls are very fluid and responsive. Even with the numerous enemies that will come after Kratos, the game's intuitive and responsive controls allow the player to deal with the threat with smooth precision. Speaking of enemies, the game has a variety of them. While some enemies are rehashed, the variety of enemies that are in the game keeps the game from being repetitive. Some of these enemies are of gigantic proportions, while others may seem like a bug, but make no mistake about it they all pack quite a big punch.
Some Minor Flaws
God of War is an exceptional game, but no game is flawless. Few and far between, God of War does have some minor flaws. The camera for the most part is quite fluid and follows the action very nicely, but at times the camera can get out of place, which makes it hard to see. Players will never have control of the camera, which is understandable because for the most part the camera does an exceptional job at following the character's movement. The few times that the camera does get out place, it would have been nice if there were a rotating camera. Another shortcoming is the game's overall length. The adventure is rather short and can be beaten in about 10-12 hours. However given the game's unique combat system, the game does have some longevity. It would have been nice if the game was longer, but with the game's exceptional core mechanics and its breathtaking adventure, this is one minor flaw that can be easily overlooked.
Eye Candy
The FMVs do a great job at showing an enriched Greek mythology. The FMVs also immerse the player into Greek mythology. Several flashbacks are used to convey the history of Kratos. These flashbacks will occur when Kratos arrives at a certain point in the game. Bit by bit, the player will begin to understand his cruelty and his ambition for power. This sets a nice pacing to the game. Not only does it break up the action with its beautiful scenery, it also conveys the story rather nicely. The in game graphics are exceptional and it seemingly takes the PS2's hardware to its max. When the screen is filled with many enemies, the game will have some minor frame rate issues. Keep in mind that it is very minor and does not affect the game whatsoever. In some instances the game will be blurred a bit, but this is probably due to the hardware rather then the developer being incompetent. The game's animation is superb and it showcases your character's ability. Many of his moves are not only devastating, but they are also easy on the eyes. The game is very stylish and offers some nice eye candy. On its own merits, God of War is one of the better looking games on any system, but due to the hardware limitation there are a few things that can be nitpicked.
Turn up the volume
Another thing that God of War excels at is its musical score. Through a dramatic musical score, the game's intensity and fun factor increases. Each beat and each note adds to the flavor of the game. The music does a great job at showcasing Greek mythology. What makes it exceptionally good is the fact that the music becomes more dramatic at certain instances. The voice acting for Kratos is very befitting of his personality. His voice offers a tough, yet, not over emphasized tone. Depending on the God, the voice acting fits the type of ruler that they are. For example, the God of the underworld, Hades sounds rigid, Zeus is holy, and Athena sounds benevolent. With an incredible and varied soundtrack coupled with superb voice work, God of War not only plays well, but it also sounds great.
Enriched in Greek Mythology
Basing the game on Greek mythology was not only wise, but the subject allows the developer to be more creative and thought provoking in crafting a story. Is the story one of the best ever? That would be a definite no, but it does keep things interested and for the most part it is quite satisfying. I would have liked it if the story was a bit deeper, but since this is an action title the story takes a back seat to the action. From one's very first step into Athens, one gets the feeling of an enriched and beautiful city. The developer presents the theme of the game through Greek like buildings, religion, and overall presentation.
New principalities acquired by one's own arms and prowess
So a prudent man must always follow in the footsteps of great men and imitate those who have been outstanding.
Where are the morals? Where is the compassion? These are no longer necessities, you are Kratos and you are a man that wields tremendous power. Morals? Compassion? Kratos does not need any of this; it became quite apparent when Kratos first sacrifices human life. Kratos is portrayed somewhat as a villain, but in reality he just seems like a lost soul. His character reflected his past and through his characteristics the game is not only action packed, but it also offers a thought provoking experience. God of War sets the bar as possibly the best action game to ever grace a home console. What is there not to love? There are tremendous amounts of enemies for one to slaughter, the combat is bar none one of the best in any 3d action title, there is plenty of gore to go around, and yes there is more and much more gore. At first glance, God of War may seem like any other stereotypical action title, but in reality God of War strays from your typical action title and offers a fresh new perspective on action gaming. Make no mistake about it; God of War's core mechanics will drastically change our view about future action titles. Many developers might even copy God of War's formula and I sure hope they do because God of War is simply a great experience. God of War will define action games for years to come and in the future when we look back we will know where action titles draw its semblance.

To the William Paterson University Community
We started this project on April 1, 2011, working with strategic planning consultants Anthony Knerr and John Braunstein of Anthony Knerr and Associates. As they have constantly reminded us, there cannot be too much feedback in the Strategic Planning Process. Mindful of this admonition, we engaged in discussions with many campus constituent groups over the spring term. Four dinners with faculty and staff in April and May on institutional visibility, resource planning, academic focus, and enrollment management were attended by over 100 people and garnered much valuable feedback and good ideas. I met with the Directors' Council in May with 40 people in attendance. We discussed a SWOT Analysis of the University (Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats) and had a long discussion about how to improve the University. In June, the William Paterson University Foundation Board and the Alumni Executive Council met to discuss the strategic planning process. [Notes from all these meetings are available for review on the Strategic Planning website, click here to view (requires login)].
Immediately after Commencement in May, the Board of Trustees held a retreat on strategic planning, led by our consultants. Our Board has taken a concerted interest in the planning process, and has offered their advice and guidance to the process. We are fortunate to have such an engaged and supportive Board which ultimately is the body that must endorse and approve the Strategic Plan.
The Strategic Planning Steering Committee has now met four times throughout the summer months and will meet again on August 23rd. Committee members of faculty, staff, and students have engaged in frank and honest dialogue with the consultants, and the upcoming draft framework reflects the collective thinking of the group. The planning process is an iterative process; many items have been redrafted, re-conceptualized, or in some cases, dropped. The Steering Committee has driven this process, and I want to thank the members for their diligence, thoughtfulness, and willingness to think on a larger global scale.
The draft framework will be available to the University Community for review in early September. I will focus my remarks at the Opening Day luncheon on the planning process and how we have arrived at this draft framework. The Opening Day luncheon will be held on the first day of the Fall 2011 semester, Thursday, September 1, 2011, 12:30-1:45 p.m. in the University Commons Ballroom. Please make every effort to attend and be part of the discussion.
There will be multiple opportunities for all members of the University community to review and provide comments on the draft framework in September and October 2011.
The first months of the Spring 2012 semester will be devoted to finalizing the Strategic Plan, which will eventually go before the Board of Trustees for their approval, hopefully in February or March 2012.
The University has established several electronic mechanisms to provide feedback and comments on the Strategic Plan:

If it tastes bad, it's probably good for you
The strong flavour of brussel sprouts might not be to your liking but UK research has found it is the flavour of some vegetables that gives them their anti-cancer properties.
Professor Ian Johnson from The Institute of Food Research in the UK, told yesterday's Australian Gastroenterology Week Conference held in Adelaide, genetic engineering and selective breeding to 'tone down' the bitter flavour of some vegetables carries with it the risk of eliminating their beneficial effects. He was giving the keynote address.
"A lot of the protective effects of vegetables and fruits against cancer are probably due to the phytochemicals in them," he told ABC Science online.
Phytochemicals are biologically active components and can influence a whole range of biological mechanisms in the body which protect against cancer.
They are also what give fruit and vegetables their flavour and colour and sometimes their texture. "If we are manipulating new varieties to change the flavour, we have to bear in mind we may be changing the health benefits as well," Professor Johnson warned.
This especially applies to vegetables from the Brassica family. These include all cabbages, broccoli and radishes.
So what are some examples of phytochemicals? Traditionally, brussel sprouts a type of cabbage have a strong, rather bitter flavour, caused by chemicals called glucosinolates. These break down to release isothiocyanates which can kill precancerous cells through a process known as apoptosis, or programmed cell death.
"It's these isothiocyanates we're really interested in," said Professor Johnson. "It seems in model systems, in vitro, they protect and selectively kills cancer cells."
So does more flavour mean the better a vegetable is for you? "I don't think it is an infallible rule," said Professor Johnson, adding that flavour depends on a lot of other things, such as water content and the degree of ripeness. But certainly flavour and colour are due to a whole range of phytochemicals so the more flavour and colour there is, the more phytochemicals.
And tellingly, research has found varieties of brussel sprouts specifically bred to taste milder and sweeter, have shown lower levels of these.
Not surprisingly, Professor Johnson says eating a large amount of a variety of fruit and vegetables is beneficial as it will increase the range of compounds you receive.
But how you prepare your vegetables determines how beneficial they are. Raw vegetables are best. And if you want to juice your vegetables, then drink up immediately.
As for vegetables you need to cook, such as broccoli, pop them in the microwave in a small amount of water. This is much better than cooking them on the stove and starting with cold water because it reduces how much time the nutrients have to escape.

AUGUST 26TH: The deal is official, the team announced.
AUGUST 25TH: The contract Salmons initially signed with the Pelicans wasn't approved by the league, so the veteran re-signed a new contract with New Orleans for the same amount last Friday, reports Pincus (on Twitter). The reason for the league's disapproval is unknown, but Pincus hypothesizes there could have been an issue with the deferral structure.
AUGUST 12TH: Salmons has finally signed his deal, tweets Eric Pincus of Basketball Insiders. The team has yet to make an official announcement. It's indeed for $2MM, all of which will count against the cap for the Pelicans this year, even though $500K of the payout is deferred, as Pincus adds in a second tweet.
JULY 14TH: The Pelicans will ink a deal with swingman John Salmons, whom the Hawks waived last week after acquiring him from the Raptors, tweets Marc Stein of ESPN.com. New Orleans appears to be choosing a deal with him over Omri Casspi, whom the Pelicans are reportedly likely to release after the trade that brings him and Omer Asik to New Orleans is finalized. It'll be a one-year, $2MM deal for Salmons, reports Chris Haynes of CSNNW.com (Twitter link). Presumably, it'll come out of the team's $2.732MM room exception.
The Joel Bell client split this past season between the Kings and Raptors, receiving a similar amount of playing time with both teams. He averaged 5.2 points in 22.1 minutes, but his 38.7% three-point shooting was a career high outside of his 41.7% mark in 2008/09.
The 34-year-old's name was reportedly a part of predraft trade talks between the Raptors and Grizzlies, but Memphis apparently wasn't too motivated to advance the discussion further. It seems like he'll nonetheless stand a decent chance of starting at small forward for New Orleans, which renounced its rights to incumbent starter Al-Farouq Aminu and has little other means to acquire a replacement.

Cape Town - Chippa United will on Friday officially announce Kosta Papic as the club's new head coach - and the Serbian's opening challenge in the PSL is a home fixture against Platinum Stars in Philippi.
The PSL on Thursday released the fixtures for the opening week of next season, with the other team from the Mother City, Ajax Cape Town, kicking off with an away fixture against AmaZulu in Durban.
The season is set to commence on the weekend of August 8-10.
Chippa, after winning promotion to the top-flight last season, made no secret of the fact that they had learnt from their previous relegation campaign in the PSL. They emphasised that an experienced coach, with a proven track record, was fundamental to their plans.
Papic, who has coached both Soweto giants, Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, is the man - at this stage, of course - who Chippa believe can lead them to respectability in the top-flight.
Last season, Papic coached Black Leopards, with whom he missed out on promotion in the play-offs last Sunday.
The Cape club, though, is notorious for quickly, and ruthlessly, dispensing of coaches, which is why, it would seem, Papic has only been offered a one-year deal.
Roger Sikhakhane, another ex-Chippa coach, will be Papic's assistant.
The signing of the Serbian is a sign that Chippa mean business next season - and they have already beefed up their squad with striker David Zulu (from Leopards), the First Division's top marksman last season, and Mpho Mvelase (from United FC).
Another experienced striker set to come on board soon is former Zambian captain, Christopher Katongo.
"I am happy," Papic told reporters. "I will go home now and relax and come back after 15 days, and sit down and discuss to see what players we have and which players we will need.
"After that I will tell you where we want to finish next season. There is no pressure on my side, and they are not putting pressure on me. I know the history of Chippa and I will fight to make sure we do well."
As for neighbours Ajax, the new season is definitely a critical one. After a few years in the doldrums, their loyal Cape following is running short of patience. It's about time the club does justice to its potential.
But they've been done no favours with an opening fixture from hell. Not only have Ajax developed a reputation for being bad travellers, but they will also encounter a motivated AmaZulu side prepared by former Ajax coach, Craig Rosslee.
Ajax have signed Zimbabwean Milton Ncube, while striker Nathan Paulse extended his contract with the Parow-based club.
Last seasons champions Mamelodi Sundowns kick off against Maritzburg United, while Kaizer Chiefs are away to Free State Stars.

HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard
The Question is:
i am working on VAX 3300 and need to replace the following cards. Processor Card # M7624 and TK-70 Drive controller card #M7559. I would like to know if HP/Compaq can still provide these cards. If yes how can i get the prices and availabilty. I will appreciate the prompt reply. Thanks
The Answer is :
Please contact your local HP hardware services organization directly. (As was stated in the prologue to asking a question of the Wizard, the OpenVMS Wizard is not in a position to provide rapid answers nor direct feedback. The support centers -- as mentioned in the prologue -- are able to provide these services.) The OpenVMS Wizard does not know the support status of the KA640 nor the TQK70. That said, this system can likely be replaced with a faster and less-old (though still used or refurbished) VAX system for a roughly equivalent effort to swapping these parts. For information on available self-maintenance services, please see the OpenVMS FAQ. (Please see the FAQ section entitled "Where can I get self-maintenance support assistance?")

FAMU Pharmacy off probation
FAMU officials on Monday got good news about one of their most vaunted colleges.
The College of Pharmacy, the nation's largest producer of African-American pharmacists, is no longer on probation by its accreditor.
FAMU officials announced accreditors' decision Monday. The pharmacy college had been on probation in recent months because of accreditors' concerns over curriculum, teaching facilities and faculty staffing levels. FAMU has tried but failed so far to get state money to expand its pharmacy facilities.

Forty years ago, in October 1971, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau introduced multiculturalism as an official policy for Canada.
Seventeen years later, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and the Progressive Conservatives turned Trudeau's policy into the Multiculturalism Act of 1988.
In other words, it was not merely Trudeau but Canada's political elite, supported by the intellectual and media elites of the country, who adopted without much questioning a policy that was, at best, dubious and deeply flawed as the law of the land.
Canada was the first of the advanced liberal democracies in the West to turn multiculturalism — an idea without philosophical substance — into official policy.
Four decades later, some of those democracies — Germany, Britain, France, the Netherlands — have openly expressed regrets as their elected leaders publicly admitted the failure of official multiculturalism in securing social harmony, or advancing national interest.
In my recently published book — Delectable Lie: A liberal repudiation of multiculturalism — I discuss at some length why this policy reflected an act of bad faith on the part of Trudeau and company, and how it continues to be detrimental to the vitality of a liberal democracy.
The bad faith resided in the ridiculous proposition that all cultures are equal. This is the keystone of multiculturalism as an idea, and it is untenable.
Individuals are born equal or, as the American Declaration of Independence states as self-evident truth, "all men are created equal."
Inequalities then among individuals born equal result from circumstances (natural or man-made) and history, and how such inequalities might then be dealt with emerge as part of an ongoing political discussion.
But cultures — by definition, culture represents the shared values, beliefs and customs of a collective — are not and never have been equal.
The inherent bad faith of multiculturalism's proponents is in obscuring the historical reality of cultures being unequal and frequently engaged in conflict.
It is absurd to argue the culture of the Huns was equal to that of the mighty Roman Empire, even in its decline.
It is equally absurd to state in our time that the culture of the Saudi Arabs — or the Taliban, or Muslims from Pakistan, Iran, Somalia etc. — is in any way equal to and deserving of equal respect as the culture of an advanced liberal democracy, such as Canada, before it was smitten by the dogma of multiculturalism.
Common sense recoils from such an absurd proposition. It takes someone with a college degree to accept silliness of this nature as higher knowledge.
In fairness to Trudeau, it should be noted, that late in life when invited by the speaker to visit Parliament in Ottawa and meet with some parliamentarians, the former prime minister expressed his misgivings about multiculturalism.
Trudeau was asked to comment on how, as a result of his policy, most new immigrants ranked their ethnic-based cultural identity ahead of Canadian identity. He indicated his sadness, admitting this is not what he had wanted.
Four decades later, most Canadians will be relieved if their political leaders have courage to do the right thing when it comes to multiculturalism, which sits as a suffocating weight over their liberal democratic culture, and have it repealed from Canada's statutes.

A KSTP/Survey USA poll says GOP Sen. Norm Coleman has a ten point lead over DFL challenger Al Franken:
Less than a month ago, Coleman lead Franken 41 to 40 in a statistical dead heat. Barkley had a remarkable 14 percent.
On Thursday, Coleman led Franken, 43 to 33 percent. Barkley does surprisingly well again, registering 19 points.
KSTP says 25 to 30 percent of poll respondents who support each candidate now say they could still change their mind by Election Day.

Ask a Neurologist. Get Answers to Your Neurology Questions.
Till now I have not had a MRI but there are more symptoms. I feel also pain in the shoulders and neck, outer part of the upper and lower arm, tingling sensations on the back, difficult to control walking in the morning.
So without MRI let us conclude a "stenosis" or as you mentioned a pressure on the spinal cord. In both cases it sure will end in surgical intervention. And that is my problem - on my age (78) I suppose a surgical intervention will be very risky and burdensome.
I have seen what in both cases surgical have to be done and I hesitate to start the whole procedure.
I suppose also your answer will be : ??????
My health is not "super" - heart and lungs are of an 78 old – estimate 70% of standard.And the results of surgical are at best stabilization of the situation..
Also after surgical like revalidation etc. will last for months and the chance I will be hospitalized for a long time at an awfull " revalidation house" for more care is great.
The fact: I am in an awful dilemma and speaking with my pc doctor and neurologists gave also no clear answers. I am pessimistic of a realistic solution and have to make a decision by myself. Pffff.
Regards ***** *****
