9. Progress of University Projects
Vice President Pine submitted a report on the status of
University Capital Improvement projects. (Report on file
in the Chancellor's Office.)
10. Lease in Excess of $5,000
Chancellor Humphrey presented a recommendation, with his
endorsement, from the Data Procession Policy and Planning
Board and the Computing Center Director Niels Anderson, for
approval of an equipment lease with Control Data Corporation
for $156,000 per year for an 8-year period. This equipment
would replace the Sigma 7 computer with a CDC Cyber-72
Mr. Anderson, Director of the Computing Center, reviewed the
negotiations leading to this recommendation, noting that in
1969 the Data Processing Policy and Planning Board adopted
the objective of creating a Statewide educational computing
network which would consist of a central computer and vari-
ous terminals located at University sites throughout the
State. Workload trends indicated a need to evaluate comput-
ing capabilities to meet this goal. Computer vendors were
invited to submit plans to meet future needs.
Mr. Anderson noted that a committee represented by each Di-
vision and the Computer Center have evaluated various vendor
computing plans. In general these plans were measured for
financial feasibility, technical capability, service provid-
ed to computer users and degree of support of a Statewide
educational computing network.
Mr. Anderson continued by noting that the Control Data Cor-
poration's plan was selected to be most viable. Briefly, he
explained, this plan would replace, in August 1972, the
present central computer and provide for the installation of
an interactive terminal on the Las Vegas Campus. Future
expansion of the system will be geared to the needs of the
individual Divisions of the University. The cost of this
plan was approximately $20,000 a year less than the cost of
expanding the present computer and provided equal mainte-
nance and software support. The Data Processing Policy
and Planning Board recognized the inconvenience and cost
of changing from one computer vendor to another. However,
it was also recognized that this change would effectively
support the University's long range and fiscal goals.
The procedures followed by the Data Processing Policy and
Planning Board in inviting, reviewing and selecting a com-
puter plan have been reviewed by the University's Legal
Counsel who advises the procedures are in compliance with
State law and Board of Regents regulations. Also, Mr.
Anderson noted, the National Science Foundation which pro-
vided a grant in 1968 to purchase a part of the present
central computer, has advised that it would interpose no ob-
jection to changing computers at the University and that the
University had the authority to dispose of owned components
of the computer.
Mr. Anderson submitted the following recommendation on
behalf of the Computing Center and the Data Processing
Policy and Planning Board:
That the Chancellor be authorized to accept the proposal
of the Control Data Corporation to lease to the Univer-
sity, at $156,000 per year, effective August, 1972, a
CDC Cyber-72 Computer, a Model CDC 731.10 Remote Batch
Computer Terminal, together with supporting software
and other hardware components; said lease to be renew-
able annually, for an eight year period, subject to lack
of funding clause; said lease subject to cancellation at
any time during the 5th year of the lease period at the
University's option upon payment of reasonable contract
termination charges. Further, that the Chancellor be
authorized to sell the present XDS Sigma 7 Computer to
the Control Data Corporation for an amount equal to the
sum of the cost of computer site modifications in Water
Resources building, licenses for software products,
training costs, on-site system analyst services, and any
other incidental costs agreed to by the University and
the Control Data Corporation. In the event the Univer-
sity receives an offer for the Sigma 7 from a buyer
other than Control Data Corporation which is greater
than the sum described above, it is recommended that
the Chancellor be authorized to reimburse the Control
Data Corporation for the cost of site modification in
the Water Resources building, licenses for software
products, training costs, on-site system analyst
services, and other incidental costs from the proceeds
of the sale of the Sigma 7.
In the discussion following, concern was expressed that an
effort be made to include, if possible, a provision in the
contract for negotiating the termination charges should the
University choose to exercise that option at the appropriate
In response to questions concerning the decision to change
computers and the selection of the CDC equipment over any
other and what assurance, if any, could be given that this
was a satisfactory piece of equipment, Chancellor Humphrey
noted that each of the Divisions had been represented on
the committee which had reviewed the proposals. If there
was any opposition from any of the users (research, educa-
tional, administrative), it had not been expressed to him.
He pointed out that considerable expertise in the computing
area exists within the University and, in the opinion of
these people, this CDC computer is the best equipment for
the University's purposes.
Dr. Anderson moved approval of the lease as recommended.
Motion seconded by Mr. Bilbray. Mr. Guild moved to amend to
stipulate that every effort be made to provide for negotia-
tion of the termination costs. Amendment accepted. Amended
motion carried without dissent.
11. Subsidy for Day Care Centers
Chancellor Humphrey recalled that in February, requests were
made for Board of Regents subsidy of Day Care Centers at
UNR, UNLV and ECC. $260 was allocated to UNLV and a request
was made by the Administration. No action was taken on the
UNR or ECC requests.
Chancellor Humphrey noted that a report had been received
from President Donnelly, concerning the Child Development
Center at ECC and a request that the Board subsidize the
Center's 1971-72 deficit of $960.
President Zorn reported that the problem encountered by
CSUN has been resolved and the Day Care Center will be able
to continue in operation for the balance of the academic
year without further Board of Regents subsidy.
President Miller reported that further discussions have been
held concerning the Center at UNR and a determination has
been made that it would be inappopriate to expand the oper-
ation at this time.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that these programs not be
subsidized with University funds.
Mr. Steninger moved approval of the Chancellor's recommenda-
tion. Motion seconded by Dr. Anderson, carried without
Mr. Jacobsen suggested again that these kinds of requests
should be called to the attention of the Campus Administra-
tion so that the Division concerned might have an opportu-
nity to resolve the matter before it is called to the
Board's attention.
12. Approval of Fund Transfers
Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval of the following
transfers of funds.
#131-UNR $2,210 from Contingency Reserve to Civil Engi-
neering Professional Salaries to provide for an
Instructor to teach a course which was originally

13. Report of Investment Advisory Committee
Chancellor Humphrey presented the minutes of the Investment
Advisory Committee meeting of February 11, 1972 (identified
as Ref. 13 and filed with permanent minutes) and requested
confirmation of the action of the Committee.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Anderson, carried without dissent.
14. Graduate Assistant (Fellows) Salaries
Chancellor Humphrey reviewed the earlier discussions on this
matter, noting that in February, the following recommenda-
tions were made concerning Graduate Assistants (Fellows)
salaries for 1972-73:
1. UNR Faculty Senate recommended the base academic year
salary be increased to $2,700 with the maximum salary
at $3,500.
2. UNLV Faculty Senate made no recommendation.
3. President Zorn concurred in the Coordinating Council
recommendation that no change be made in the present
salary level of $2,500 to $2,900.
4. DRI made no recommendation.
5. Chancellor Humphrey recommended that a classification
system be provided for Graduate Assistants (Fellows)
with actual job descriptions suggested, but subject to
review and modification, and salaries be specified by
classification with a range from $2,500 to $3,000 per
academic year.
6. President Miller endorsed the concept of classification
with the description subject to modification, but pro-
posed a salary range from $2,600 to $3,200.
At the Board's direction, this matter was tabled "until the
March meeting to permit time for this matter to be further
considered and the Administration to make a recommendation
both on job descriptions and on salaries." Subsequently,
this matter was discussed by the Coordinating Council on
February 17, 1972. The effect of the Council's action was
1. Refer the classification concept to Faculty Senates.
2. Recommend that the Divisions need not be uniform in the
payment of Graduate Assistant (Fellow) salaries for
1972-73 only.
Chancellor Humphrey recommended that:
1. Compensation of $2,500 to $3,200 salary plus grant-in-
aid for payment of registration fee and tuition be
approved for Graduate Assistants (Fellows) for 1972-73
academic year.
2. Decision as to placement of individual Graduate
Assistants on the salary schedule be left with the
Division Administration.
3. As soon as feasible, a proposal for uniform classifica-
tion system and job descriptions be presented for Board
Presidents Miller, Ward and Zorn expressed agreement with
the proposal, stating that it is acceptable to their respec-
tive Divisions and can be accommodated to their situations.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr. Guild,
carried without dissent.
15. Progress Report on University Code
Chancellor Humphrey reported that the Coordinating Council
has developed a new proposal Code which substantially modi-
fies the consenus document developed by the Chancellor's
Advisory Cabinet. He noted that the document is now being
reviewed by the Senate of each Division. A copy was distri-
buted to the Board. (Coordinating Council document on green
paper for easy identification and on file in the Chancel-
lor's Office.)
Chancellor Humphrey also reported that all suggested changes
or new documents are scheduled to be presented to the Board
at the April meeting and time will be provided for full
discussion of the various proposals.
16. Regulation for Tuition Charges
Mr. Hug presented a document entitled "Regulations for
Tuition Changes" which he noted was developed in cooperation
with the Presidents, their Administrations and the Chancel-
lor. He pointed out the document was still in the draft
stage, and in fact the copy distributed was intended as a
substitute to one distributed with the agenda (both docu-
ments on file in the Chancellor's Office). Mr. Hug also
read a letter which he had sent to Chancellor Humphrey in
which he had identified some of the reasons and the purposes
for the regulations. (Letter also on file in the Chancel-
lor's Office.)
The meeting adjourned for lunch and for a tour of the Performing
Arts building, and reconvened at 2:05 P.M.
17. La Raza and Nevada Association of Latin Americans
President Zorn introduced Mr. Louis Paez, President, La
Raza, and other members of his organization and of Nevada
Association of Latin Americans. Mr. Paez presented four
areas of concern to the two organizations, requesting the
University's assistance in accomplishing the following:
1. Recruitment and hiring of Chicano Instructors, Counse-
lors and Administrators.
2. Acquisition of necessary Chicano library and audio
visual materials.
3. Recruiting and providing incentive for Chicano high
school students.
4. Provision of scholarships and/or financial aid for
Chicano students.
In his presentation, Mr. Paez commented on efforts of the
members of his organization in these areas but pointed out
that they need and desire more help from the University.
President Zorn stated that discussions have been held con-
cerning the needs of the Chicanos, as well as other ethnic
groups, and noted that some positive steps have been taken.
Other areas of concern have been identified and cooperative
efforts are continuing toward further resolution.
18. Foreign Travel Report, UNR
In accordance with the Board's policy on foreign travel,
President Miller reported that Dr. Charles V. Wells will be
traveling abroad April 6-25, 1972. He will be attending the
annual conference of the Council of Affiliated Institutions
of the Institute of European Studies in Vienna and will make
inspection visits to the Freiburg and Paris Centers.
19. Approval of Purchases in Excess of $5,000, DRI
President Ward requested approval to purchase a closed cir-
cuit television camera system from Lear Siegler Company for
$5,205. The system is essential to the Laboratory of
Atmospheric Physics for research under a National Center for
Atmospheric Research (NCAR) contract. The Lear Siegler
Company is the only source for this equipment, which is to
be incorporated into a Formvar Replicator Instrument being
fabricated and delivered under the NCAR contract. Chancel-
lor Humphrey recommended approval.
Mr. Guild moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr. Anderson,
carried without dissent.
20. Revision of Budget, UNLV Natatorium
President Zorn reported that the State Planning Board had
revised the project budget for the Natatorium by decreasing
the allocations for surveys, A/E fees and plan checking,
resulting in a unobligated balance of $11,268. Comparison
of the budget approved by the Board and the revised budget
was presented (identified as Ref. 20 and filed with perma-
nent minutes).
President Zorn and Chancellor Humphrey recommended approval
of the revised budget.
President Zorn also reported that the preliminary plans have
been received but have not been reviewed by the staff. He
requested that an ad hoc committee of Clark County Regents
be authorized to act on behalf of the Board in reviewing and
approving the preliminary plans.
Mr. Steninger moved approval of the revised budget for the
Natatorium and delegation of authority to the Clark County
Regents for approval of the preliminary plans. Motion
seconded by Mr. Morris, carried without dissent.
21. Bid Opening, ECC Instructional Building
President Donnelly reported that the bids will be opened by
the State Planning Board on April 11, 1972 for construction
of the ECC Instructional building.
President Donnelly and Chancellor Humphrey recommended that
the Plant and Property Committee be delegated authority to
review the results of the bids and to act for the Board in
the award of the contract. It was noted that this could
probably be done by telephone.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Mr. Guild,
carried without dissent.
22. Valley Road Farm
President Miller presented the following recommendation from
Dean Bohmont concerning the Valley Road Farm:
I recommend that the Board of Regents be requested to
authorize Attorney Harold O. Taber to proceed in a
binding arbitration concerning moving costs incurred
by the College in transferring research from the
Valley Road Field property which is being taken by
Interstate 80.
You will recall that in May of 1970, Judge Bowen ruled
that the preliminary issue involved in the Department
of Highways vs. Board of Regents concerned adequate
payment for the taking of the research laboratory lands
and that it would come under substitute facilities
doctrine. It was recognized that the Field Lab is a
"special use property" and that the Board of Regents
have a duty to replace that portion being taken with
an equal utilities facility. Subsequent approval
by the Board of Regents to make an offer for settle-
ment based upon our vouchered costs of moving has been
refused. Negotiations with agricultural experts re-
tained by the Highway Department have not provided a
suitable settlement.
I am of the opinion that the vouchered costs for
moving incurred by the College are legitimate but
that they do contain certain improvements which the
Highway Department considers as "betterments" and
are unwilling to include in their settlement figures.
The binding arbitration by 3 experts, one chosen by
the University, one by the Highway Department and
the third chosen by these two parties, probably can
arrive at a just figure for costs and thereby provide
for an equitable settlement.
Our choice for an arbitrator for the University
would be Dr. J. B. Kendrick, Vice President of Agri-
culture for the California System who was previously
retained on this matter. It would be my recommenda-
tion that we proceed as rapidly as possible to reach
a settlement. It is my understanding that payment for
moving costs would be above and beyond that amount
which is deposited by the Highway Department for the
purchase of this property.
President Miller and Chancellor Humphrey recommended
Mr. Bilbray moved approval. Motion seconded by Dr.
Anderson, carried without dissent.
23. Status Report from State Planning Board
A report from the State Planning Board concerning the status
of the University's capital improvement projects was distri-
buted (report on file in Chancellor's Office).
24. Proposed Lease of University Facilities to KORK-TV
President Zorn presented a proposal from the Don Rey affil-
iate, KORK-TV, to rent the television center at UNLV for use
as an emergency studio facility until the middle of August.
In consideration, they proposed to install a studio lighting
package in the larger studio at an approximate cost of
$25,000 which would be left for the University's continued
use when the facilities were vacated. KORK also proposed to
return the TV Center to its present condition, leaving only
the studio lighting package. President Zorn recommended
approval of the proposal, with the following stipulations:
(1) The facilities would be subject to lease for approxi-
mately five months but under no condition would the
lease extend beyond August 15, 1972.
(2) Lease document would be subject to review and approval
by the University's Legal Counsel.
(3) Installation of lighting package, valued at approxi-
mately $25,000, which would remain with the University.
(4) With the exception of the lighting installation,
facility would be returned to its original condition.
(5) KORK-TV operation is understood to be a 24-hour
(6) A limited amount of parking would be made available to
the organization.
Mr. Bilbray moved approval of the proposed lease as present-
ed by President Zorn, under the conditions as set forth in a
letter from Mr. Donald W. Reynolds, Jr., dated March 8, 1972

By Leonard Pitts - ...a little nod of affirmation for Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of NETWORK, a Roman Catholic social justice group. She did not speak long — about seven minutes. Her delivery was not particularly powerful. But with the moral authority of her calling, she did something that has sorely needed doing for some weeks now.
She rebuked "I built that."
Granted, the rebuke was only implicit: She never specifically mentioned the new GOP slogan of rugged individualism. But it was no less powerful for that...
This nun, whose social activism has put her at odds with the Vatican, did not talk business. She talked about the "nuns on the bus" tour she undertook to contest cutbacks to services for vulnerable Americans that would be necessary under the budget envisioned by Romney and his running mate. And about the people she met along the way.
Like the 10-year-old twin boys in Toledo who act as sole caregivers for their bedridden mother. Like "Billy," from Milwaukee whose job has cut back his hours and who could not make it without food stamps. Like "Jini" in Cincinnati whose sister Margaret lost her job, lost her health insurance and so, lost her life when she was diagnosed with cancer.
"I am my sister's keeper," said Campbell. "I am my brother's keeper." Can you remember when that went without saying?
This was Obama's point. In a recent song, Bruce Springsteen put it like this: "We take care of our own."
And we do. Or at least, we should.
At the DNC, a nun's wisdom speaks volumes

Winnipeg Blue Bombers
It was good to see Tim Burke spitting nails after Thursday's loss to the Toronto Argonauts.
The Bomber head coach was particularly peeved about the penalty parade his team produced in the 36-21 setback at Rogers Centre. It wasn't necessarily the reason for the loss, because it didn't matter where Ricky Ray was on the field. He invariably found a receiver in the end zone whether penalties helped him or not.
It should also be noted that the Argos had more penalty yards than the Bombers, but the Boatmen are 11-6 and hosting the East Final this year. It's a much bigger and longstanding problem in Winnipeg.
The stupid penalties, which have been happening for years, are just another reminder of how much the Bombers are in need of an overhaul. Burke said the infractions will be part of the evaluation of who stays and who goes, even though chances are slim he'll be back in 2014 himself.
It doesn't matter who's in charge next year, though. The Bombers need more veteran and disciplined players. The team was always too young under former GM Joe Mack, which resulted in a lack of discipline. Maybe they took some penalties because they aren't good enough, but that's a chicken-and-egg discussion that could go on forever. Don't forget one of the main reasons Paul LaPolice was fired was because the team lacked discipline. Nothing has changed, so it's difficult to pin it on the coaching.
The scary part is one of the worst offenders on Thursday night was veteran cornerback Brandon Stewart, who absolutely lost it even though all Argos offensive lineman Jeff Keeping did was rough up Henoc Muamba a little bit after the play. Keeping got flagged for the infraction, but instead of gaining the yardage Stewart lost it -- both the yardage and his mind. He went right after Keeping, picking up an unnecessary roughness penalty and then an objectionable conduct for good measure.
Thanks to Greg Peach's roughing the passer penalty on the same play -- his third in as many weeks, we might add -- the Argos got the ball all the way down on Winnipeg's four-yard line. One play later Ray hit a wide-open Romby Bryant in the end zone because Desia Dunn and -- you guessed it -- Stewart got mixed up in the coverage.
"What the heck," Burke said afterwards.
No kidding.
And then defensive end Kenny Mainor, who has been in the CFL for THREE years, took an unnecessary roughness penalty when he hit a sliding Ray. He couldn't believe he was flagged for hitting a sliding quarterback. Seriously? Isn't one of the first things they teach defensive linemen is that they can't hit a sliding quarterback?
Bombers cornerback Johnny Sears chalked up the game's nastiness to the fact the teams were playing for the second time in six days. Plus, the Bombers didn't like what they heard coming out of the Argos locker-room after last Saturday's game in Winnipeg.
"It kind of spilled over from what we heard, that they played down to our level," Sears said. "We kind of took it personal."
But instead of making them pay on the scoreboard and preventing the Argos from clinching first place in the East Division, the Bombers helped them win by taking numerous stupid penalties, never mind allowing Ray to absolutely tear them apart to the tune of a career-high 505 passing yards.
Way to show 'em, guys.
The CFL teams with the most penalty yards this season are the Bombers and the Eskimos, whose combined six wins going into Friday night's action would still put them dead last in the CFL if they joined forces. This is not a coincidence, folks.
It's time for the Bombers to grow up. And the only way to get there is to take the roster and blow it up.

Culture/History: Roman Provinces, Roman Magistracy, Oratory
Grammar: Relative Clauses of Characteristic, Cum Concessive, Passive Verbs used Impersonally
Now it is time for your first look at Cicero, the foremost writer of the late Republic. His writings cover many genres: forensic and political oratory, philosophy, letters. You will get to read samples from all of these through the course of this class. Whereas Eutropius wrote roughly 300 years after the events he describes, Cicero will provide a unique, first-hand perspective on the events of the late Republic.
Chapter 58 provides readings from two sections of Cicero's speech Against Verres. Verres was the governor of the Roman provice of Sicily (the island next to the "toe" of the boot of Italy). In this speech Cicero attacks Verres for his corruption, greed, and cruel treatment of the inhabitants of the island. Keep in mind that Cicero delivered this speech in court in Rome, with Verres himself present. You can imagine Cicero strutting on the courtroom floor, gesticulating dramatically in front of Verres, much the same as a lawyer might speak before the witness stand and jury box in an American courtroom.
You will be challenged by Cicero's prose. Unlike Eutropius, Cicero employs a periodic style, meaning his sentences are usually long and contain several subordinating clauses. Review the video on reading a Latin sentence from earlier in the course if necessary. Remember: A clause that is interrupted by a subordinate clause cannot be completed until the subordinate clause is completed. In this way a Latin sentence can often by diagrammed as a rainbow, with one over-arching clause containing several smaller clauses inside it. Take your time with these sentences. An overview of Roman oratory is provided in your book on p. 67.

Bran Castle
This Euro-city state castle is rich in history and is a famously known national monument and landmark of the country. Before it was known to be the home of Count Dracula, it served as a defense against the Ottoman Empire and was later made into a royal residence for the kingdom of Romania. It was one of Queen Marie's favorite retreat place. Nowadays, it operates as a museum that displays the queen's collected art and furniture.
Peles Castle*
Peles is actually a palace by form and function however, it is consistently called a castle. This well preserved, Neo-Renaissance castle's interiors rival French and Austrian palaces and has a breathtaking view of the Carpathians. The magnificent mountain scenery is said to be the reason why King Carol I of Romania bought the estate in the early 1800's. The construction of the castle was finished in 1883.
Brasov city center
Brasov is a well-preserved medieval city in Transylvania and known for its Black Church, the largest church in Romania and for Sforii street, one of the narrowest streets in Europe. Its old buildings and colored houses reborn the atmosphere of old, forgotten times.

Senate approves putting permanent tax, spending limits before voters
Posted August 12, 2015
Raleigh, N.C. — Senators signed off Wednesday on a proposed constitutional amendment that would limit the growth of government based on a calculation involving inflation and population growth.
"I don't know of anything else I can tell you that I haven't already told you," Sen. Brent Jackson, R-Sampson, told his colleagues, noting that the measure had been debated most of this week.
In additional to limiting government growth, the measure would also create a new rainy day fund that it would take a two-thirds vote of both the House and the Senate access. The measure would also cap the state's top income tax rate at 5 percent.
Jackson and other proponents say the measure will enforce fiscal discipline and ensure lawmakers aren't tempted to spend more than is wise.
But opponents say that it will limit the ability of the state to invest in education and other needed programs.
"Senate Bill 607 is yet another budget gimmick that will do nothing to make government more efficient, lower taxes for ordinary people or fix our schools. It is a distraction from the task at hand – finishing a budget for the coming year," said Sen. Terry Van Duyn, D-Buncombe.
Debate on the amendment came as negotiations over a budget that is now six weeks overdue continue to stall.
The measure next goes to the state House. If it passes the House, voters would weigh in on the measure in November 2016.

A urinary tract infection is often simply referred to as a UTI. It's an uncomfortable and painful infection that attacks the human urinary tract--which begins with the urethra--then can work its way up into the bladder. The infection can then go through the ureters to the kidneys. Not all infections reach the kidneys, but abdominal pain can be associated with a typical UTI. Causes and treatments may vary, depending on how far-gone the infection has gotten.
UTI Definition/Causes
Urine is sterile. However, organisms carrying bacteria can remain at the urethra opening and work their way back into the urinary tract. According to medicinenet.com, e-coli is the most common bacteria associated with UTIs, and it typically lives in the colon. When the bacteria multiples, it causes infections. Without treatment, the infection can turn into a bladder infection and then a kidney infection. The ureters and bladder keep urine from backing up, but infections can still occur in both men and women. Frequent sexual intercourse, lack of water consumption and wearing tight clothing can cause bacteria growth to occur.
Typical symptoms of a UTI include burning during urination, the frequent urge to urinate, pain around the urethra when not urinating, abdominal pain, fatigue, shakiness and pubic bone pressure. This is common in women. Some men experience a fullness in the rectal area. Usually, only a small amount of urine is passed, even though patients experience a constant urge to urinate. The urine may look cloudy and reddish if it contains blood. If a fever accompanies these symptoms, the infection has likely reached the kidneys, and back pain will follow.
Abdominal Pain
Pain in the abdomen occurs in the general region near towards the bottom of the ribs. This is near the pelvis. There are different causes for abdominal pain, but it is a direct symptom of a UTI. The pain is a result of inflammation of the organs, or it's a possible lack of blood supply. According to medicinenet.com, even though the abdomen is not directly involved in the course of a UTI, conditions of the kidneys cause this pain.
There are steps you can take to make yourself more comfortable before visiting the doctor. Drinking plenty of water and cranberry juice to flush out bacteria can relieve the symptoms of a UTI. So can applying a hot water bottle or heating pad to the lower abdomen. According to estronaut.com, you should avoid foods and liquids that contain caffeine, acid, citrus and alcohol. Your doctor will require a urine sample for proper testing. Depending on your urinary tract history, you will likely be prescribed an antibiotic for up to two weeks such as Trimpex, Bactrim or Cipro.
Preventing UTIs and abdominal pain can be done by taking a few simple steps in your daily life. Drink plenty of liquids to flush out bacteria. Wipe from the vagina back to the anus to avoid spreading bacteria. Use the bathroom frequently; never ignore the urge to urinate. Drink water. Urinate before and after sex to increase the flow of urine. Wear cotton underwear. Avoid tight clothing and materials that prevent airflow.

Slight Left Lung Pain is It Normal?
Doctor Answers 8
Chest/lung pain after bam
Bring this up tomorrow at visit. It sounds like you have pleurisy, which is just irritation of the lung linings and should resolve over time. See if it is OK to use non-steroids at this point, as this is the treatment of choice.
Pain after breast augmentation
I agree with some of the other comments. There are many reasons why you may have pain after surgery however there are a few things that left untreated could be very serious. It would be your best interest to see your physician and determine if additional testing or imaging is necessary. I would rather see 1000 patients to make sure they're fine then to miss one patient who had PE.
Sorry my iPhone will not allow me to make corrections.
Slight left lung pain after augmentation!
You could have muscular sorness, however the seriousness of lung (pluritic) or chest pains should prompt an immediate call to your surgeon or an ER visit. A dropped lung or pneumthorax is a known complication after implants as well as other terrible stuff such as a pulmonary embolus. Better safe than sorry.

Chest pain after a breast augmentation
Some degree of chest pain is not unusual following a breast augmentation. Have your plastic surgeon examine you on your next visit. There are several reasons for this type of pain such as spasm of the pectoralis muscle or irritation of the intercostal muscles. I would expect this to improve over the next few weeks. The only other possibility is that of a pneumothorax. To rule this out you would need a chest X ray.
Slight left lung pain after breast augmentation
Congratulation on your breast enhancement. Left sided chest pain may be coming from a variety of sources and needs to be sorted out. Most likely it's coming from the ribs and/or the muscles. It's certainly possible to have nerve irritation. Rarely is the source of the pain coming from the lung itself but pneumothorax or pneumonia should be consider if your symptoms persists. A chest x-ray is simple and easy which will help sorting it out.
Best Wishes,
Pneumothorax is a rare reason for long pain after breast augmentation.
With sub muscular placement of an implant particularly new very slight individual it is possible to violate the pleural space and introduce air around the lung. This may be experienced is pain in the shoulder blade or in the chest area with breathing. It should be check for the chest x-ray.

Lung pain?
Lung pain should not occur after a routine breat augmentation. Yes, some muscle soreness and tightness of the breast tissue, but not lung pain. Lung pain raises alarms of a pneumothorax or pulmonary embolism at worst. Best to be seen in ER.
Slight Left Lung Pain is It Normal?
I agree with Dr. Johnson, better to be safe than sorry and get examined ASAP. Hopefully this is just symptoms consistent with the surgery, and may just be referred pain, but PE can be fatal if left untreated.

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
Good morning, I would like to assist you today.
Have you had an opportunity to go into the daycare yet and have a face to face meeting with the teacher or providers?
Has it been explained to you exactly how this usually takes place? Does he just spontaneously hit people, or is it usually something that leads up to that?
they say it is just because
Have you asked him why he does it? What is his response to you?
he doesn't say. He cries..
Does he witness any hitting in his environment? Whether at home, between siblings, on television, etc, that you can think of?
he doesn't. We have friends with children and they are not like that, plus he doesn't do it when he is around our friends
One more question; I know that you say he is very smart and good with alphabets and numbers, but how is his ability to communicate and understand what is communicated to him in conversation?
He does have problems to talk clearly and he doesn't tell me what happen on his days, like telling me stories of what he did. We speak two languages and we think that's whay he doesn't speak that fluent. I say he understands what you tell him otherwise he wouldn't learn other things.
Aggressive behavior at your son's age is very normal in preschool; especially for boys. One of the primary reasons that children may act out aggressively at this age is because of their limited ability to express themselves through verbal communication and otherwise. It is twice as difficult for your son at this time because he is not only growing an learning one language, but he is a dual language speaker; this can make communicating with others, especially those who are not familiar with you as your family and friends very difficult for a young child. This is only my first thought; it can also be possible that there is something that triggers him to respond in that way, such as a very noisy and chaotic environment at school, when he is use to peace and quiet at home; this can make a child act out as well.
what would recommend us to do?
I think that it would be good to have a conversation with his school about your concerns. Let them know that you are concerned that his stage in learning two languages may be affecting his ability to communicate with his classmates, and that you want to work with them to develop strategies to help your son better communicate with them. Ask the teacher or providers if they can recommend any resources in terms of dual language learners in a preschool setting; it may not be a bad idea to seek out a school where the other children are dual language learners also, or at least the teacher or one of the professionals there are so that they can better relate to your son.
I would also not take looking deeper into your son's mental and physical health to assure that there are no other developmental problems that may cause the behavior. Do speak to his pediatrician at your next visit, so that he or she may be able to give you input from a medical point of view. He or she may also have recommendations about where you can get resources for your son's language development.
I'll request a meeting and see what they tell me.
Continue to work with him in regards XXXXX XXXXX ability to communicate and use words and language to express himself.

text: So a few weeks ago, my dry cleaner had an equipment failure with their dryer. It wasn't getting to temperature. When I picked up my clothes and got them home, they stunk. and I mean BAD. Like canvas, or mold or the inside of an army surplus store. I took them back and had them re-clean them hoping this would fix the problem. They still reek. The cleaner is saying it isn't their fault because they fixed the dryer, and they can't smell any more chemicals. I am rather frustrated with all of this. the clothes REEK. My solution is to take them to a new cleaner and hope they can get the smell out. Does anyone have any other options? I have tried airing them out, but maybe I didn't ave them long enough. I just want the smell to go away. Does anyone have any ideas about what could have done this in general? Thanks all!

The Sparrow Studio's primary goal is to create a marketplace for handmade home decor from a cooperative of women in Africa. The cooperative is composed of 35 women in Kigali, Rwanda. They are hard working, talented, creative, beautiful moms, survivors of the massive genocide in 1994. They are also primarily HIV + and hoping to leave the sex trade and a situation defined by shame and crippling poverty.
At The Sparrow Studio, we believe people are valuable because they are image bearers of God. These particular 35 women have captured our hearts with their stories and their courage. These women are worth our time, our financial investment, and the best of our creative energies. We love them because God first loved us.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for choosing Sparrow Studio designs to feather your nest. Your belief that our work is valuable pushes us to keep growing and creating. Your purchase is allowing 35 women in Africa a taste of the goodness of God. Thank you for sharing this journey with us.

Lieberman, Easterbrook and Dearborn
Sound bites from last week:
"I am Joseph, your brother." — Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), speaking before the Arab-American Institute in Dearborn, Mich.
"Disney's CEO, Michael Eisner, is Jewish; the chief of Miramax, Harvey Weinstein, is Jewish. Yes, there are plenty of Christian and other Hollywood executives who worship money above all else…. Does that make it right for Jewish executives to worship money above all else?" — The New Republic columnist Gregg Easterbrook.
"Go home to Tel Aviv." — A member of the audience at Sen. Lieberman's Dearborn speech.
For the past several months, the issue that had not been raised (by non-Jews, at least) in Sen. Joe Lieberman's campaign for the presidency was his religion. Lieberman has been poised to prove that a Jew can stand for president as a patriotic American and be judged solely on those terms.
Moreover, recent mainstream American coverage of Jewish issues has been anything but anti-Semitic — witness media investigations into Mel Gibson's "Passion of Jesus" movie; coverage of Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's bizarre conspiracy theories; and the generally pro-Israel editorial stances of most American newspapers.
But then Gregg Easterbrook comes along — a high-brow journalist with an impressive track record — with code phrases that could have been lifted from Vienna circa 1932.
After The New York Times broke the story, Easterbrook immediately apologized. He wrote, "Accuse a Jewish person of this and you invoke 1,000 years of stereotypes about … which Jews have specific historical reasons to fear. What I wrote here was simply wrong."
His Jewish colleagues from The New Republic have compellingly rallied to his defense.
L'Affaire Easterbrook does not portend a resurgence of anti-Semitism — as David Lehrer has persuasively argued, "fears of anti-Semitism ought to be tempered by reality…. [M]eaningful anti-Jewish hate [is] not about to emerge in America."
Yet what the Easterbrook contretemps does demonstrate is how easily anti-Semitic sentiments can still slip off the word processor and be blogged to the masses.
Many of the blogged masses, in turn, are far more unsophisticated than readers of The New Republic. Anti-Semitic concepts may be relatively dormant in some parts of America, but not, evidently, in some parts of Dearborn, Mich.
Lieberman spoke in Michigan against the backdrop of a Democratic field divided over the war in Iraq and the proper American response to terrorism. Before the Arab American Institute, Lieberman stated his views about the Arab-Israeli conflict, and in particular about the difficult, heart-wrenching debate over Israeli actions such as bulldozing the homes of suicide bombers and constructing a wall to keep suicide bombers out of Israel.
While these are issues that evoke passionate responses, there was nothing extreme about the actual positions Lieberman articulated. Indeed, Lieberman's statements were consistent with the bipartisan tradition of recent U.S. Middle East policy, which has been designed to achieve peace between the parties and which has recognized that stopping terror is a key prerequisite to a lasting peace.
Yet, there were those in the Dearborn audience who didn't react to the message — they reacted to the messenger (it is reassuring to note that there were some in the audience who did respond respectfully). As one audience member stated about Lieberman, "He is such a Jew. He's running for the wrong office. He should be running for the prime minister of Israel."
Lieberman, alone among the Democrats, was heckled by the crowd.
The visceral Dearborn reaction should serve as a wake-up call to many in the Jewish community. There really are forces that want to deny Lieberman the opportunity to serve as president just because he is Jewish, and they are willing to say that openly. While these elements are undeniably a minority, there ought to be unanimity in our response. Lieberman's legitimacy as a candidate needs to be underscored by the Jewish community.
No one, including Jews, should support Lieberman for president just because he's Jewish. But all Americans, including Jews, should be concerned that either latent or overt hostility to Lieberman's being Jewish could deny him the presidency. Lieberman told the Dearborn audience that "whatever differences we may have on the issues of the day are differences of ideas, not of religion or nationality." Recognizing the value of that message may be the next step in increasing the level of Jewish support for his American campaign.
Jack Weiss represents the 5th District on the Los Angeles City Council.

For many years, defense has been the calling card of the SEC. But the 2013 season has seemingly changed that distinction, as evidenced by the Alabama-Texas A&M shootout back in Week 3.
You would think that this would favor teams such as the Crimson Tide and Aggies as well as strong offensive units such as Georgia, LSU and Missouri.
Up until this season, that type of movement probably would not have favored the South Carolina Gamecocks. However, things have changed in Columbia in 2013.
Over the past several seasons, Steve Spurrier's teams had become much more known for their defensive capabilities, yet a detailed look at the Gamecocks' game tape and metrics from this campaign indicates that this team has one of the most complete offenses in the SEC, likely the best of Spurrier's Gamecocks tenure and one that could potentially lead it to the SEC East title and a shot at the conference crown.

A murder suspect's sticky fingers landed him behind bars in New Orleans, where he now awaits extradition to Georgia to face charges he shot and killed an east Athens man in November.
Rodney Shepard, a 37-year-old Hurricane Katrina evacuee, went to a house on Moreland Avenue early the morning of Nov. 18 and fatally shot David Lamarious Lumpkin as he slept in the living room, police said.
New Orleans police arrested Shepard on a shoplifting charge Jan. 26 and learned he was wanted for murder in Georgia, Athens-Clarke police said.
Police believe Shepard's alleged accomplice, Erik Hassel, also is in the New Orleans area, and the sheriff's office in Jefferson Parish, La., is searching for him.
Shepard, 37, came to Athens in 2005 in the wake of Katrina from his Jefferson Parish hometown of Marrero, on the southern bank of the Mississippi River across from New Orleans.
Athens-Clarke police Capt. Clarence Holeman said local detectives returned Thursday from New Orleans, where they had a "productive" interview with Shepard.
Holeman wouldn't say if Shepard confessed to Lumpkin's murder, but said he expects the Clarke County Sheriff's Office will take custody of Shepard early next week.
Meanwhile, Jefferson Parish deputies continue to search for Hassel.
Investigators don't think the suspects traveled to New Orleans together, Holeman said, but that Hassel eventually met up with Shepard and was staying with Shepard's family in Marrero.
Police said Hassel, 45, once lived at the same Moreland Avenue address where Lumpkin was killed, which police described as a boarding house.
Shepard was living on Zatella Lane in East Athens when Lumpkin was killed.
Detectives are considering whether someone paid to have Lumpkin killed. Investigators suspect Lumpkin and another masked man might have held up another man five days before Lumpkin was slain, and that the robbery victim or his friends may have paid Shepard and Hassel to shoot Lumpkin in retaliation for the armed robbery.
If Lumpkin's death was a contract killing, prosecutors could seek the death penalty.
Athens-Clarke police hold arrest warrants charging Shepard and Hassel with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault with intent to commit murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
Shepard also is charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon because of a previous conviction in Louisiana, according to police.

The Vallejo Admirals finally found a way to beat the San Rafael Pacifics on Thursday night - with an assist from the water gods.
In a game that lasted five-plus hours, the sprinklers kicked on at midnight at Wilson Park.
The umpires and both coaching staffs huddled, and agreed to resume play - despite the watery distraction.
With Vallejo's Jesse Olivar representing the winning run at second, left fielder Chase Fontaine had moved in, anticipating a game-saving throw home.
The Admirals' Justin James hit a fly ball into a water sprinkler-active outfield to drive in Olivar and send Vallejo to a wild 6-5 win in 13 innings.
Brennan Flick was the winning pitcher for the Admirals. Second baseman Lito Roman was 3-for-6 in the contest. James and Olivar both had two hits.
The Pacifics (13-5) and Admirals (5-11) will resume their series at 7:05 p.m. tonight at Wilson Park.
The game was delayed for some time after the home-plate umpire was hit by a pitch. He left the game for precautionary reasons.

There is more to this school's story
Thank you for the article regarding Athenian Academy of Pasco. It was especially refreshing to read about our school that was not totally skewed to the negative. However, I do feel compelled, not to correct your statements, just to clarify some issues.
The district's claim that they only had enough data to extend our charter contract for one year is moot. Any data they required is readily available at the school for them to examine. They, as always, choose to overlook the obvious.
The School Board offers no guarantee that the contract will be renewed for the 2009-2010 school year. This only leaves parents with concerns and questions that are unnecessary. Perhaps you should have listed the criteria the district needs to shut a school down, none of which would remotely apply to Athenian Academy.
Superintendent Heather Fiorentino's comment that she supports charter schools and the role they play in the district school system is simply an untruth. Any citizen who has ever attended a district School Board meeting knows that not only does she dislike charter schools, but will go to great lengths to hurt them at whatever cost.
It is true that charter schools are funded by taxpayer dollars just like district schools. You fail to mention that not only do charter schools receive considerably less money per child per year, they also incur expenses that district does not take care of like they do in the public school system.
Anytime your paper writes about Athenian Academy, you always seem to mention the failure of other charter schools, (Language Academy and Deerwood Academy) for financial improprieties. You neglect to mention that there is one very large difference between Athenian Academy and those failed schools. Those schools managed their finances internally. Athenian Academy has employed a large, reputable, successful, nationwide management company, Leona Group Inc.

I've finished the first part of my holiday, in Köln (Cologne), Germany. The weather was pretty good (I even got a bit sunburnt!) and I had a great time being a tourist with my friend Iris. Unfortunately we didn't make it to the Netherlands or Belgium or anywhere else, but we did take a boat trip down the Rhine to a pretty little town called Linz. (I am at my Grandma's house with no access to the net right now, so I apologise for the lack of links).
Some random observations:
· Everything is pink, thanks to T-Mobile advertising
· Water is very expensive -- € 3.20 (about US$4) for a bottle of water
· The ticket machines in the Bonn train station have an incredibly bad user-interface
· Visa is definitely not everywhere we wanted to be
· Public transport in and around Cologne is very good
· The Dom cathedral is very impressive
· I wish I'd kept up my German studies from High School
· I walked more in three days than I had in the previous three years 😉
I think I've been spoilt by living in the USA, where credit cards are accepted just about everywhere. Iris and I ran out of cash, so we had to have coffee at Starbucks (of all places!) on one day despite the fact that we wanted to go to a local shop. We also had fun trying to scrape together enough cash for a ride across the Rhine on a cable-car; we must have looked like poor Uni students or back-packers, crouched on the floor pooling together our loose change for the € 6.60 we needed for two one-way tickets. Luckily we found an ATM so we could get some lunch afterwards 😉
I'm also nearing the end of my stay in Dover, England with my grandma and my mum. Yesterday we went to Canterbury and saw the famous (think Archbishop) Cathedral, which appeared to be in much better shape than the Dom in Cologne (might have something to do with the fact that entrance to the Dom is free whilst the Canterbury Cathedral is not), but I think it was smaller. I'm not a religious person myself, but it is amazing to see what people have built for the (proverbial) Love of God. There is so much detail in the cathedrals -- in the stone work, the wood work, and the stained glass windows -- and the buildings are so enormous and elaborately constructed that you wonder how they ever managed to build them hundreds of years ago without any modern equipment. It would probably also be prohibitively expensive to build anything like that these days... assuming you could even find people with the right skills for the job, of course. We have our huge sky-scrapers these days, but what will people look back on in 500 years' time and say in awe: "Wow, I can't believe they built something so impressive and so beautiful with such primitive tools!"?
Today we stayed a bit closer to home and walked around the Dover castle, one of the strongest in the whole of Western Europe (according to one of the postcards I sent). I couldn't believe how good the weather was -- clear blue skies, nice and warm -- although apparently it will rain again after we leave tomorrow ;-). Luckily my trusty REI hat has kept the sun off my face so I don't have too much of a British Tan (== sunburn). The castle was full of several groups of children of various ages, some of them English and some of them French (presumably on day trips from across the Channel). Although they were noisy, they didn't appear to actually be causing any trouble 😉
Well.... that's enough randomness for one day. Tomorrow it is off to Australia for two weeks (with a 21-hour flight via Singapore!) and I should be able to actually upload this blog using the wireless network at Heathrow.
Have fun at work! (Ha ha ha)
P.S. Wireless access at Heathrow is expensive! In the US you can typically get a 24 hour lease for around $10; in Heathrow it's 5 GBP (about $8 USD?) for one hour!

Still unclear at press time was how Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 91 will affect general aviation, particularly business aircraft and private aircraft with mtows exceeding 12,500 lb. Already issued as a final rule effective October 1, it requires all aircraft operators that access the "sterile area" of a Part 107 airport to search aircraft and screen passengers, crewmembers, other persons and their accessible property before departure. The second part of the SFAR gives the FAA authority to require "screening procedures" for operators of aircraft with a mtow greater than 12,500 lb.
NBAA and NATA, which have been closely following the rule, said Part 107 Airport Security rules define a sterile area as an area "to which access is controlled by the inspection of persons and property in accordance with an approved security program." Individual airports define the specific boundaries of sterile areas.
NATA, which represents many on-demand charter companies, suggested that operators conducting flights to Part 107 airports should contact their destination FBO to determine whether or not the aircraft will enter a sterile area upon arrival. Operators based at a Part 107 airport should verify their status with regard to the sterile area with the airport security office.
For operators of aircraft with mtows over 12,500 lb, the SFAR allows the FAA to impose security procedures, such as screening, regardless of whether it is operated under Part 91 or 135. At press time, the FAA had not instituted any such security requirements with this SFAR, although it could do so through the notam process.
NBAA said SFAR 91 currently does not require any changes to existing operational procedures for Part 91 aircraft operating outside of sterile areas.


text: My last option was always accutane. I tried topicals and different birth controls. Nothing worked. My severe and cystic acne remained and I was an emotional mess. I couldn't leave the house without makeup, and sometimes I couldn't leave the house at all. I finally decided to go on Accutane knowing the side effects. I was prescribed Zenatane and started seeing the results 3 months in. Everything cleared up. At the end of my 6th month cycle I was acne free. It saved my life. The worst side effects I had were severely dry skin(chapped lips, bloodshot eyes, and nosebleeds) and fatigue(lack of energy on a daily basis). The side effects were worth the end result. I still have some scars from my deep cysts but they are slowly going away and I'm about to start microdermabrasion. My insurance covered my Accutane and birth control, but didn't cover a lot of monthly blood tests which was a bummer. I highly recommend anyone who has tried most things and failed to try Accutane. My before and after pictures have no editing or filters- I'm so proud of my new skin!
