|This view out Jess' window MURDERS me. This is what she sees when she wakes up EVERY FUCKING DAY.
And Nov 2012. I didn't do ANYTHING this year again. This was the worst one. I don't think I asked a single kid what he or she was thankful for this entire month. I'm being serious.
|Isn't this a cool shot? She's on the bed inside, and Scott is out on the patio with me, that's his reflection on the glass in front of Daisy.
You know what sums up friendship for me? Like, awesome friends friendship? That scene at the end of one of those Lord of the Rings movies. Now, I'm not a Lord of the Rings fan. I almost stopped reading PW when she admitted that she thought one of those movies was the best movie ever, that she thought it should have beaten Forrest Gump. PUH-LEASE.
But anyway. Elijah Wood is like carrying this necklace or ring or whatever to throw it into the lava (does that sound at all correct? I did see all three movies, but I can't promise I was awake for the majority. But I think I have the jist here. No? And is it gist?) Anyway, the necklace is making him sick or something. Maybe even killing him? And Sean Astin from Rudy (and The Goonies!!!) for some reason isn't allowed to just take the necklace and do it himself, since he's healthy and Elijah Wood is in really bad shape by now. I would go so far as to say maybe Rudy would die or something if he took the necklace. The ring. Isn't that it? Won't the ring make him go crazy or something?
ANYWAY. So Rudy finally says something along the lines of Hey! You know what? I can't take this ring (necklace?) from you and do this for you. I can't lift your burden and I'm so sorry. But you know what I CAN do Elijah Wood? I can carry YOU. And then (I think) he like carries Elijah Wood up the mountain to throw it in the lava. (I might rent this movie. Any idea which of the three it is?)
And that's friendship. And you know who you are, and I'm not going to name names and get all emotional and having FEELINGS. You know who you are and that I can't do this without you and I love you and appreciate everything you do.
And you know what? True, I didn't read the books and I apparently don't remember the movie that well. But I remember leaving that theater thinking Hey, screw Elijah Wood, whatever, Rudy is the real hero of that story.

Setting aside contracts and legal battles, the town of Jim Thorpe will celebrate the life and legacy of its Native American Indian namesake this weekend. The 18th annual Jim Thorpe Birthday Celebration will take place Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Festivities will kick off with a Native American Indian tribute featuring Don Wild Eagle at the Jim Thorpe Mausoleum on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. The ceremony will commemorate the 50th anniversary of Thorpe being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
At 11 a.m., the Jim Thorpe High School Olympians cross country and track teams will carry a lighted torch from the mausoleum to Jim Thorpe High School Stadium. After lighting the torch for the Carbon County Special Olympics track and field competition there, the runners will proceed through town to Josiah White Park at the train station where they will light the Olympic torch.
Upon arrival at the park at noon, special medals will be awarded to the cross country, track, and cheerleading teams as well as to their coaches. In addition, State Representative Doyle Heffley of the 122nd Legislative District will read a proclamation by the Pennsylvania House declaring Saturday, May 18, 2013 "James Francis Thorpe Day" throughout the Commonwealth. A large birthday cake will then be presented, cut, and available throughout the weekend.
Special guests scheduled to participate in the festivities this weekend include Jim Thorpe's grandson John Thorpe of Lake Tahoe, CA; Gunilla Lyden from Olympic Stadium in Stockholm, Sweden; retired Sports Director Chuck Gentile and his wife, Wanda, of Carlisle, PA; United States Army War College dignitaries; and Coach George "Chuck" Hanna's 1971-72 Jim Thorpe High School Olympians basketball team known collectively as "The Iron Five" Dan Albeck, George Albert, Don Herman, Jim Thorpe Kmetz, and Jim Zurn.
Throughout the weekend, there will be free musical performances; Native American Indian folklore, dancing, and drumming; craft and food vendors; a clown; a large Chinese Auction; and more.
"I feel that it's so important to celebrate the accomplishments of Jim Thorpe the man," said Jim Thorpe Birthday Celebration Event Coordinator Anne Marie Fitzpatrick.
Ray Brader, Co-Event Coordinator, was quick to add, "Especially this year, being the 50th anniversary of his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame."
For more information about the birthday celebration, sponsored by Jim Thorpe Tourism Agency (formerly known as Jim Thorpe Chamber of Commerce), contact event coordinators Brader and Fitzpatrick at Nature's Trail at (570) 325-9281 or at email@example.com [1] or visit www.JimThorpe.org [2].

Collusion detection in procurement auctions
This paper proposes a method of bid-rigging detection, which allows us to reveal cartels in procurement auctions without any prior knowledge of the market structure. We apply it to data on highway construction procurements in one of the Russian regions and show that five suppliers demonstrated passive bidding behavior, which is consistent with the so called 'rotating bidding' scheme of collusion. The suggested methodology can be potentially used by both researchers and anti-trust agencies for cartel disclosure in various markets.

From the first day of nursery school and throughout one's career, skills are acquired or may be sharpened. Most aspects of career life involve skills that need to be learned such as: job search strategies, cover letter and resume writing, as well as effective interviewing skills.
The interview is one of the most important phases of the job search process. Your resume and cover letter are simply tools to get you to the interviewing stage. Keep in mind that employers tend to interview candidates who are qualified for the job. Therefore, once you have past the initial screening, it is your opportunity to convince an employer by using your persuasion and communication skills that you are the right person for the job
In addition, other career skills are needed for the work place such as: leadership, team work, creative and critical thinking, salary negotiation, business etiquette, communication, presentation and public-speaking, problem-solving and decision-making, career time management as well as stress management.

text: The name "Neiwei" (Inner Enclosure) comes from earth or bamboo stockades known as "Wei" (Enclosure). Built during the Qing Dynasty and used for protection against bandits, "Newei" was named when the County government stationed a garrison there. In 1920, although the Japanese changed the written form of "Neiwei", the pronunciation remained the same. Neiweipi used to be the largest wetland in Kaohsiung City. It played an important role in water storage and irrigation, and possessed its own unique wetland ecology. The Neiweipi Cultural Park is situated on an area of 41 hectares in northern Kaohsiung. It includes the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, Sculpture Park, Artificial Lake, an outdoor music venue, the Firefly Conservation Area and the Marsh Wetlands Area. It is the wetland park in Kaohsiung with the most artistic atmosphere.

About Tornado
Most EpicRecRooms.com shipments will arrive in between 7 and 10 business days after the order is placed. As many game tables and other rec room items are quite large and heavy, they will be delivered via truck by a 3rd party freight delivery company. The delivery company will call you in advance to schedule a delivery date and time. Someone must be present to accept delivery. Freight deliveries are typically made between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, normally within a 4 hour time window. Please note that the delivery area generally needs to be accessible by a tractor trailer truck that is 45 feet long and 14 feet high.
- Standard Curbside Delivery (FREE): With standard curbside delivery, the freight company is not responsible for unloading your purchase from Epic Rec Rooms from the truck, carrying it into your home, or assembling the product. Please plan accordingly to make sure you (and a friend) are prepared to unload the game room item from the truck and bring it in to your home.
- Curbside Delivery With Lift Gate ($75): For an additional $75, EpicRecRooms will upgrade the Standard Curbside Delivery to Curbside Delivery With Lift Gate to assist with unloading the item from the truck. You (and a friend) will still be responsible for carrying the game table (or other game room item) into your home & assembling it.
- In-Home Delivery ($300): In home delivery is available for an additional charge of $300. With this service, the freight company will unload the game table and place it in a sheltered area (garage or other easily-accessible room). Additional charges may apply for difficult to access areas or, in some cases, delivery may not even be possible. Please call us to ensure the best service if you wish in-home delivery.
At the time of delivery, please inspect your shipment thoroughly. If a box is torn, dented, ripped, punctured or damaged in anyway, please sign the delivery confirmation by clearly noting the damage. This will aid in filing a claim against the delivery company, if necessary. If you are unable to fully inspect your shipment at time of delivery, please note "Subject to Further Inspection" on the delivery confirmation in the event it is necessary to file a concealed damage claim. If your inspection uncovers that an item is visibly damaged but you believe the damage to be minor and can be fixed with a replacement part, accept delivery of the item. However, if you discover that an item has sustained major damage and is visibly damaged beyond repair, please refuse delivery and contact us immediately. If your order consists of several cartons, you can accept delivery of the undamaged ones and refuse only the damaged items.

Cavendish wins fifth stage
Mark Cavendish stuck two fingers up to his critics – in a metaphorical sense this time – with victory on the fifth stage of the Tour de France.
The 25-year-old HTC-Columbia sprinter recorded his 11th Tour win in three seasons, having twice in the 97th edition of cycling's most prestigious race failed to deliver.
Cavendish bounced back from Sunday's crash and yesterday's 12th-placed finish with a success on the 187.5-kilometres stage from Epernay to Montargis, with Gerald Ciolek (Team Milram) second and Team Sky's Edvald Boasson Hagen third for a second straight day.
Points classification leader Thor Hushovd (Cervelo Test Team) was fifth to retain the green jersey.
Cavendish has endured a torrid time since winning on the Champs Elysees – including being withdrawn from the Tour de Romandie for a two-fingered salute – and he crashed 3km out from the finish on the opening road stage last Sunday before yesterday's poor showing, when he appeared unable to accelerate with the finish line at his mercy.
Although the maillot vert may already be lost with Cavendish well adrift of Hushovd and Alessandro Petacchi (Lampre-Farnese), today's win went some way to answering some of the question marks over his form.
The general classification standings remained unchanged on a sweltering day south of Paris, where the temperatures soared to 40C (104F).

It Wasn't Me! Rappers Impersonating Non-Rappers
Game Pretends To Be A Police Officer
Though Game has kept a relatively low profile with the law since getting in the… game, he couldn't resist a little identity makeover. While in New York in mid-November of 2006, the Compton rapper was standing on an uptown corner when he flagged down a taxi. When he got in, he quickly exclaimed to the driver that he was an undercover cop, and forced the driver to race through traffic lights on their way downtown. Fittingly, when the taxi got pulled over just a few blocks later, the driver told the real police officers what was going on, and after a quick check it became clear that Game wasn't a cop, but rather just a rapper in a hurry. He was arrested on the scene. Now, Game's talked a lot about snitching and associating with cops, but we guess it's better to pretend to be a cop than to be with one. Right?

"Chicharito'' was too big for France.
Mexico's Javier Hernandez, whose nickname means "Little Green Pea,'' emulated his grandfather by a scoring a World Cup goal against France. One major difference: his was in a victory.
Substitutes Hernandez and Cuauhtemoc Blanco scored in Mexico's 2-0 win over France yesterday in Polokwane, South Africa, leaving El Tri needing only a draw to reach the next round.
Hernandez ran onto Rafael Marquez's pass as the France defense stopped, believing Hernandez was offside. He dribbled around goalkeeper Hugo Lloris before guiding the ball home in the 64th minute.
Hernandez's grandfather, Tomas Balcazar, scored for Mexico against France in the 1954 World Cup, but El Tri lost.
"I remembered my grandfather in the locker room,'' Hernandez said. "I haven't spoken to my family yet, they're my main motivation.
"Thank God I could score. More importantly, we could win against a team we hadn't been able to beat in a long time.''
Blanco put in a penalty kick in the 79th minute after Eric Abidal fouled another substitute, Pablo Barrera.
"We should still be proud enough to look forward to winning our next match,'' France coach Raymond Domenech said. "There is still an infinitesimally small chance that we will go through.''
Mexico next plays Uruguay, which also needs a draw to advance. France has only 1 point and has to beat South Africa and hope Mexico and Uruguay don't tie their match in Tuesday's final group games.
Mexico fans taunted the French with cries of "Ole! Ole!'' as the clock wound down and vuvuzelas blasted. France fans were heavily outnumbered by flag-waving Mexico supporters who packed each end of Peter Mokaba Stadium and unfurled a 30-yard flag.
Greece 2, Nigeria 1 — Vassilis Torosidis poked home a loose ball in the 71st minute as the Greeks claimed their first World Cup win by rallying to beat 10-man Nigeria in Group B play in Bloemfontein, South Africa.
Torosidis scored off a mistake from Nigeria goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama to make history for Greece, which had lost all four previous World Cup matches, including three in 1994.
"We badly wanted this, because we'd never even scored a goal in the World Cup before,'' striker Dimitrios Salpingidis said. "I can't say whether we'll make it out of the group. But I can say that we'll leave with our heads held high.''
Nigeria opened the scoring in the 16th minute when Kalu Uche's curling free kick from 35 yards deceived everyone, particularly goalkeeper Alexandros Tzorvas, who moved the wrong way.
But the game changed in the 33d minute when Nigeria midfielder Sani Kaita was shown a straight red card for kicking Torosidis.
Salpingidis tied the match in the 44th minute with a deflected shot before Torosidis's winner.
Nigeria broke through first when Uche's free kick sailed over the heads of Costas Katsouranis and Nigeria's Peter Odemwingie and into the far corner of the net.
Argentina 4, South Korea 1 — Gonzalo Higuain scored a hat trick as the stylish Albiceleste cruised in Johannesburg, giving them 6 points off two victories in Group B.
The Argentines had 11 shots on goal to just two for South Korea and controlled possession for 57 percent of the match.
The Argentines took the lead in the 17th minute when Park Chu-Young deflected in a free kick from Lionel Messi. Higuain made it 2-0 in the 33d after Nicolas Burdisso passed along a cross from Maxi Rodriguez.
In first-half injury time, Lee Chung-Yong pounced on a defensive mistake to close the gap, but Higuain's two second-half goals — in the 76th and 80th minutes — put the game away.

Super Mario Sunshine
Review by Ninten81
"One Gamer's Opinion"
Ah, yes! Another Mario game. In gaming history, there are few trademarks that can get as much mileage as the likes of everyone's favorite portly plumber - turned martial artist. (Where did he get those moves anyway? I mean, everyone always new he could jump, but these gymnastics aren't paralleled in the Olympics!) This is a fun game, period. There's lots to love and very few distracting factors that would detract from it. Though, even this game is not without it's faults. Super Mario Sunshine has had to fill a legacy and a demand that may well not be attainable, even by the royal flush in Nintendo's pocket that is Shigeru Miyamato (Mario Bros, Zelda, Metroid etc. creator for those who aren't familiar with the name) There is also the point that the hardware is still relatively new these days, not to mention how young it was when this title was released. Unfortunately, this one does seem to fail at setting a new president. Mario 64 is mostly to blame for this demand that 'Sunshine be revolutionary in almost everyway. Mario 64 did set the industry standard for what a 3D platformer should be and past titles in the Mario library have also had profound effects on the way developers at Nintendo implement their in game physics. In Super Mario Sunshine, you're going to see an expansion of the physics and graphical schemes set forth on the Nintendo 64, but ground breaking may be a little too much fanfare for this one. However, Mario's been around a while, done many great things for entertainment and consol software. This is still a very good game and worthy of old fans and new alike.
Graphics: 9/10
Super Mario Sunshine is a veritable feast for the eyes. The tropical setting of Mario's most recent adventure gave the designers an environment full of potential that was fully exploited. Vibrant colors using the range of the available palette are abundant. The cartoonish cast of supporting characters lend an amusing air to the already outlandish theme. The water effects are to die for, supporting reflections and slick animations complete with particle effects for every droplet. Color schemes used for shading and promoting depth have evidently been improved since Super Mario 64. Not to mention the polygons meant to give rounded features do so wonderfully. The only complaint I have is with the camera control which is near perfect, except for the episode in Pinna Park where you have to defeat the Koopa who has made the Ferris wheel spin out of control. A feature programmed into the engine of this game which was designed to keep the camera from hanging on solid objects, the porthole effect/shadowed see through effect executed itself improperly. Portholes appeared when there was no need for them and the shadow effect is somewhat useless considering that it only supports Mario and the question marks representing various objects. Without shadowing platforms, this effect only serves to take up space as you'll never be able to direct Mario accurately in this mode. But, barring the Pinna Park episode, a simple readjustment of the camera angle is all that is needed to rectify the problem. My compliments to the artists behind this one, truly beautiful stuff.
Control: 9/10
The control in this game is tight. Just about all of Mario's acrobatics are easily executed; further credit for this can be given to the intuitive controls as good use of button-response placement was implemented thoughtfully. Depth perception proved to be slightly disgruntling because at certain camera angles and distances, it's difficult to tell whether you are jumping onto a platform, or beside it thus falling into a pit to your death. But this too can be remedied in most cases with a simple camera adjustment. All of the moves were helpful at some point in the game. Yoshi wasn't entirely too useful, which was sad as I'm a big Yoshi fan, but the novelty, at least, was satisfying.
Level Design: 7/10
My reasons for a lower score here had more to do with the conceptual portion of the levels rather than the implementation of the obstacles and scenery themselves. Indeed, I thought the levels were aptly challenging without becoming exceedingly frustrating. The secret stages were tough, but I suspect they were supposed to be. The red coin and 100 coin challenges were cop-outs as far as I'm concerned. I'd had enough of that stuff by Mario 64. This brings us to the real problem. The level designs didn't offer much in the way of original content that didn't detract from ''the Mario factor''. The Mario factor is that special something that has always made the Mario games unique to themselves. (I.E. mushrooms, goombas, fire flowers, breakable bricks which did return in limited quantity for this game, though not practically implemented, para koopas) I understand that Nintendo and Shigeru Miyamato are presented with the difficult task of taking one of their oldest trade marks, keeping it's unique qualities while giving the gaming community something that is not just a rehash. Unfortunately a lot of this game feels like that is just what happened, and it was because those ''classic'' elements were not implemented creatively. Rather they felt thrown in just because. The original content was alright, but lacked that Mario factor appeal that us old school gamers know and love. Take, for instance, the lack of classic enemies. What, I ask you, is a Mario game without koopas? Well, there are mecha-koopas, but there is still the void left when Nintendo decided we've had enough of throwing those red and green shells around. Where are the goombas? The goomba stomp is why Mario's a good jumper to begin with. Without that original jumping prowess, it would be completely unbelievable to see these newer aerial flips he performs at will. There are newer enemies that seem to be duplicates of some classic foes, however they tend to appear more as cheap replacements for old tricks that aren't yet too old to be fun. The facts are that some formulas are timeless and don't need to be tinkered with to the extent that Mario sunshine was. Ever since Super Mario World on the SNES, I've wanted to break bricks and shoot some fireballs at Bowser. Ever since Mario 64, I've wanted to have that goomba stomp where you jump on 'em and it propels you higher into the air so that you can get to another and successively wipe out a goomba army with one jump. How about kicking a shell; no need to surf it, just launch it at the nearest Bowser minion to wipe that smirk off it's face. Ladies and gentlemen, can we get a hammer brother now and then? This has yet to happen.
Sound: 8/10
Nothing much to say here. The music was cartoony but appropriate. The voices were silly but Mario games don't exactly rely on cinema quality voice acting to convey their stories which are limited intentionally. Sound effects were fun amalgamations of pops, boings, and ''wa-hoos!'' with some classic effects like the warp pipe noise. All of these were done well without any noticeable glitch or unwanted pops. There is a certain charm to the original Mario Brothers theme song in the ''secret'' levels. It has been redone with synthesized male and female ''voices'' singing in acapella fashion. Also, when you are engaged in chases with the main villain or in a sub section of Delfino, the music from world 1-2 of Super Mario Bros.,(You know, the blue brick levels that were underground which usually contained a sweet warp zone or two) plays in a remastered form. A little dose of retro fun for your ears was not an expense that was spared. Okay, so maybe there was a little to say here...
Challenge: 10/10
Super Mario Sunshine is hard. Not that there is extreme difficulty in completing level objectives as much as the shear quantity of what has to be done to complete the game with the 'ol 100%. Something to the effect of 120 Shines, a mess of blue coins, two red coin challenges per level...what's a plumber to do? This game is sure to keep even Mario experts searching and plugging away at that difficult landing or reaching that shine way up there in the clouds with no noticeable platforms to aid. The challenge also lends a hand to giving this game a good replay value. Considering the volume of things to do, it's unlikely that you're going to find yourself being bored with the game. What helps this a lot is the fact that there are changes to the levels as you progress through each episode involving some basic layout modifications and scenic enhancements. Most levels also include sub sections that will be activated when the right episode has been reached. Once they are activated you might find yourself in a roller coaster or inside a building that was previously inaccessible. Maybe not even there to begin with! All of these changes add to the challenge in terms of orientation, giving you new ground to explore, and, in some cases, mini objectives to complete before you are finished with the main task of that particular episode.

The seal tannery is bustling on a sunny September morning, as workers handle large stacks of pelts in various stages of processing.
The work here continues year-round as workers tan and dye the tens of thousands of seal skins that were harvested this spring on the sea ice around Newfoundland.
"This is a production facility more like Terra Nova Shoes than a fish plant," Carino Processing Ltd. CEO Dion Dakins says as he takes The Telegram on an exclusive tour of the facility.
It's steady work, and it employs around 25 people full time in the community of Dildo. The people in the plant are happy for the work and the contribution to the local economy.
"Lot of caring people; good outport people," says worker Tony Johnson as he walks by.
It's labour-intensive too, he says.
The pelts get tossed in sawdust, soaked in brine, treated with tanning chemicals, shaved, dried, dyed and then examined and graded before they're ultimately sold and shipped to market.
But the whole works of it exists on a precarious position; Dakins says matter-of-factly that if the company hadn't received a loan from the provincial government this spring, the plant wouldn't be operating this year.
That would likely have been disasterous for the province's seal industry; minimum processing requirements forbid the shipping out of raw pelts, and the Carino facility is the only tannery currently operating in the province.
"In 2006 we had five tanneries operating in Newfoundland and Labrador on seal products employing the same number of people in five communities around Newfoundland and Labrador," Dakins says. "This industry will be successful when that many tanneries or more are operating again in Newfoundland and Labrador. That will be true success — taking the available quota based on sound science."
Right now, that goal is a long way away. The hunt this year was fairly successful, but harvesters still only took a fraction of the total quota set by DFO.
And while Dakins is at great pains to make it clear that the provincial government loan was not a subsidy — it bears interest, and the terms of the loan require repayment — he also wouldn't be in business without it.
Workers are very much aware of the political position of the seal hunt. They keep track of the Russian seal ban, and ongoing issues in the European Union.
"We hang in here," says Wayde George, who's been working in the industry for more than 30 years. "We have ups and downs. … I just hope it's going to keep going the same."
Animal rights groups like the Humane Society International and the International Fund for Animal Welfare have painted the government loan as a subsidy to the industry. Workers at the plant are very aware of the loan, and thankful for it.
But Dakins says the subsidy label has been a major problem for him in other parts of the world; it makes it more difficult to sell the pelts at market value.
In nearly every aspect of the tannery, the politically charged position of the seal hunt lurks.
Some of the pelts get dyed a light silvery "polar" colour, dilute enough that you can still see the animal's spots. That product is very popular with many Newfoundlanders, who are proud to wear seal products.
But many, many more pelts get dyed dark brown or black. Those are more popular internationally, and they're often used for hats and the trim on coats as a cheaper fur that's comparable to mink.
When asked where they're selling the pelts, Dakins flatly refuses to say.
"It's been a standard thing within the industry, we're not divulging our markets anymore," he says. "What we don't want to do is give animal rights groups the opportunity to find out where our markets are and go in and undermine our marketing initiatives."
Wherever they're going, business seems to be good for the moment. When Fisheries Minister Darin King announced that the government would be putting up a loan to Carino in April, Dakins told reporters the money would be paid back by Christmas.
He says they're still on track for that; they've sold their entire backlog of previous year's pelts, and at the current pace, they'll sell out of this year's stock by the time the hunt begins again next spring.
When asked how he characterizes the current business climate around seal products, he responds with one word: "optimism."
He says he's talking more and more about the ecological aspects of the seal hunt, and how it's a sustainable source of fur, oil and meat.
"The explosion of seal populations globally and the decreasing availability of wild-caught fisheries. That's what's changing. People are starting to realize you can't ignore one species," he said. "People are starting to realize that management has to be considered on all levels of the ecosystem. You can't manage one portion and ignore all the rest."

Stabilizing, breaking up clot key to Clinton's recovery
Posted January 1, 2013
Cleveland — Doctors in New York have been keeping a close eye on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after a blood clot formed in her head.
Clinton has a blood clot behind her right ear in a vein between her brain and skull. Her doctors say the clot didn't result in a stroke or neurological damage.
"This is something that is not affecting the brain tissue itself. Having said that, if the clot obstructed blood from draining out of her skull, her brain could swell and become damaged," said Dr. Cathy Sila, a professor of neurology at Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine in Cleveland.
Clinton's travel, age put her at higher risk for blood clots
Doctors say it's key to stabilize the clot. Clinton's physicians are treating her with blood thinners.
"It prevents the clot from getting larger," Sila said.
Some risk factors for blood clots include prolonged bed rest, sitting for long periods of time, being over 60, pregnancy and smoking.
Clinton, 65, suffered a concussion earlier this month after she fell at her home. She is also being monitored for other conditions related to her concussion.
"Sometimes, when people have a concussion, they have pretty bad headaches, dizziness and vertigo," Sila said.
Depending on the severity of the concussion, symptoms can last a couple of weeks.
Clinton's doctors say she is in good spirits, engaging with her family and staff, and is making excellent progress.

Student input on services given
October 18, 2005
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The Supportive Services program has modified the Bakersfield College campus in order to accommodate the growing number of disabled students.
One change is the set routes for the courtesy carts according to the Courtesy Cart Service brochure. Alos, all elevators are functioning without the use of a key, except for the elevator located in the Math and Science Building, because it is an "exterior" elevator and for safety reasons it remains locked.
The carts are offered as a courtesy by BC for "any student with a verified permanent or temporary mobility impairment." However, in order to use a cart, one must be an "authorized user," said Joyce Kirst, BC learning disabilities specialist. An authorized user is given a Supportive Services card with the student's name on it.
According to Kirst, 1,200 BC students are currently being serviced throughout the department. Disabilities include deafness, blindness, a fractured arm or leg, a learning disability and even "psychological disabilities such as depression." The department is happy to say that all are being accommodated.
"Students are pleased with our service," said Kirst.
Another service provided through the department is a section in the BC library where students with disabilities have accommodated computers with special electronic tables that adjust for students in wheelchairs.
Marcela Lopez, deaf studies major, uses the Kurzweil program to "scan" her books. Another accommodation Lopez is grateful for is the testing accommodations offered through the Supportive Service Department. Students with disabilities are allowed to take a test outside of class and are allowed more time.
"They are very helpful with my needs… some [students] need more accommodations, but I feel mine are met," said Lopez.
Another feature that disabled students enjoy at the library is that accommodated computers are set aside for them to use and one is always available.
"It makes things easier to come in and actually find a computer," said Lopez.
Yet BC student Mike Gomez, who is illiterate, complains " sometimes when we come to the library we have no chairs to sit on." Gomez refers to the chairs that are set-aside for the disabled students that are taken by other non-disabled students. Yet, Gomez said that the department has made changes and his needs are being met.
Enrique Martinez, psychology major, who is bound to a wheelchair said, "we need more ramps; the elevators working and the electric doors are not the point." Martinez plans to speak with President Bill Andrews about adding more ramps to the BC campus during the campus renovations.
Jesse Collins, psychology major, who is also bound to a wheelchair said, " The library is accessible to some point, yes." Collins wishes the electronic tables would be placed upstairs as well. One major concern for Collins and Martinez is that there is no designated area for the GET bus express.
"The express drops off students on an island and we have to cross the bus path, which is dangerous," said Martinez.
Another improvement made by the Supportive Service department was the addition of another courtesy cart that can hold a wheelchair; it is able to give wheelchair- bound students a ride to class. Martinez said the following in regards to the cart, " we need more than just one."
If a student is wondering whether they have a learning disability, any student that is currently enrolled at BC is eligible to take a learning disability test; yet, "taking the test does not guarantee a student's eligibility for service," said Kirst.

I'm finally running again and it feels so good to be back out there. While I still have some lingering pain in my foot from falling on the stairs I just decided to say screw it and deal with that, especially since my mileage is low and my speed is, well what speed? (i.e. I have none) I'm trying to up things a little bit at a time and this weekend increased my mileage to 4 miles from the 2-3.5 I had been doing - felt good to run that both Saturday and Sunday even if I was really feeling it Sunday evening. After taking Monday off to rest I went back for another 4 this morning. I run the 4 mile loop in Central Park which means I have a short walk from where I enter the park to the start with the same walk post-run. I actually kind of like this as it keeps me moving after I finish which is probably a good thing with all the muscle troubles lately! Anyway, I finished my run and was walking back up the road to my exit point, when I do this I walk on the road in the runners lane but try to stick to the curb figuring that will keep me out of people's way, and this woman is running toward me hugging the curve like her life depended on it and as she got closer she eventually moved over ever so slightly and glared at me as she went past like I should have moved so she could run the tangent as much as possible. I guess I'm wondering what the proper etiquette is here, I felt like I was in the "right" trying to stay out of the way and I felt the runner had better visibility to adjust. And since this was not a race I can't imagine that that little shift would throw off her time/pace/distance. I guess maybe the right thing to do would be for me to move off the road on to the sidewalk but the sidewalk is this uneven mess in some spots and I just prefer being on the road (at this hour cars are not allowed in the park so there is plenty of room even with bicyclist on the road). I admit I've glared at some runners myself, primarily those talking really loudly (I love the quiet of early morning runs so when that is disturbed it irks me) or those that run in bunches taking up the entire runners lane running 3 or 4 abreast or when people in a group run are standing around on the path (rather than move off it) but I've never been so concerned about holding my line that encountering a walker has resulting in a stare-down. Hopefully she was just having a bad morning or rough run.
And I have to say trying to get back in to the swing of running has been a little rough. I think my body got way to comfortable sleeping in so the early morning is leaving me drained. But I hope by just sticking with these short runs adding a mile here and there I can start to build a good base for 2014. I have been wondering lately if I need to shift some runs to a treadmill. I was thinking back to when I felt I was running injury free and that was one big difference, I used to run my weekday mileage on a treadmill and then long runs on the weekend outside but since moving next to Central Park I run pretty much exclusively in the park or outside in general (regardless of weather). Guess I'm still trying to sort through all the injuries this year and how to avoid them going forward (the PT has been a great help and given me stuff to work on/with just doing a bit of detective work on my own too).
