Apart from 17 x 25 inch sheets (Harman Gloss Baryta, some Red River, some Moab papers, and perhaps others), and cutting down from 17 inch rolls, some manufactures have 24 x 36 inch sheets. A 24 x 36 inch sheet cuts down to 17 x 24 with only 2 inches of waste, and there are no curling problems. Some Canson, Museo, and Hahnemühle papers come in this size.There are also some papers from Moab and Museo in A2: Museo Portfolio Rag and Moab Entrada Rag, for example.Brian A
Brian - you are full of it!! (Great info and advice I mean).What a simple but cost saving idea! I just checked prices at B&H for Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 GSM. 25 sheets of 17x22 (delivered) is $152.59. 25 sheets of 24x36 is $173.50 (delivered). So for just $21 more I get an additional 25 sheets of 17x24 inch Photo Rag paper.I have a 30-inch Rotatrim in the closet that will soon be put back into use!Sal
Yes, the Hahnemühle 17 x 22 inch sheets are overpriced, and the 24 x 36 inch sheets are underpriced. I used to use it, but have switched to Canson Rag 310: smoother surface, slightly whiter but no OBAs, less recurling, and crisper greens, but more expensive in the 24 x 36 range.Don't cut it until you need it, if you are thinking of a 24 inch printer.Brian A
Which Canson Rag are you using? Sounds like you like it.
I hope my mk cartridge will still fire up.

Celebration of Holy Epiphany in Australian Cities
Epiphany, in Greek "Theophania" or "Fota," is one of the most important days for the Orthodox world and it is celebrated in January 6.
According to the Orthodox tradition, this day indicates the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. Traditionally, a priest throws a cross in the water and the men of the area jump in to catch it. The first man who catches the holy cross will gain good luck and the blessing of the priest.
The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia has organized several events in Australian cities for the celebration of that holy day. In Mentone, the Greek Orthodox parish, in collaboration with the "Archangels" community, will celebrate Epiphany at 11:00am at Parkdale Pier. In Frankston, the blessings of the water will start at noon. The Greek Orthodox Parish of the area has also organized all day events. In Geelong, the celebration of the Holy Epiphany will start at 11:30am in Rippleside Park. In Rye, the celebrations held by the Holy Monastery of Panagia Kamariani will begin at 12:30pm.
In Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia, the celebrations will take place on Sunday January 12. Archbishop Stylianos will be leading the procession of the blessing of the waters at Yarra Bay Bicentennial Park at 1:oopm. In Adelaide, the ceremony will start at 12:15pm in the Pier of Glenelg, and finally, in Melbourne, the ceremony will be held in Princess Pier in Port Melbourne at noon.

HILTON HEAD, S.C. – At this week's annual Peach Belt Conference (PBC) athletic directors meeting, the conference office gave out a slew of annual honors, with the Georgia College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) winning the PBC Make-A-Wish Most Improved Award.
Overall, Peach Belt Conference institutions raised $36,059, an increase of over $10,000 from last year with half of the 14 schools giving a thousand or more.
Among that number is Georgia College who won the Most Improved Award after boosting their efforts from $500 a year ago to $2,434 this year. That amount is the fourth-highest in the Peach Belt.
The Peach Belt Conference as a whole increased their giving to the Make-A-Wish foundation for the third year in a row and should threaten to win the national award for conference giving.
North Georgia set a league record by raising $12,000 for Make-A-Wish, eclipsing their own mark of $10,625 last year. The Saints remain the only PBC school to reach the five-digit mark in their annual campaign, which they have now done for two years in a row.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Born in 1980 when a group of caring volunteers helped a young boy fulfill his dream of becoming a police officer, the Foundation is now the largest wish-granting charity in the world, with 66 chapters in the United States and its territories. With the help of generous donors and more than 25,000 volunteers, the Make-A-Wish Foundation grants a wish every 40 minutes and has granted more than 171,000 wishes in the U.S. since inception. Make-A-Wish and NCAA Division II entered into a partnership in 2003.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

ReneRobert Partida learned his youthful lessons the hard way.
ReneRobert Partida learned his youthful lessons the hard way.
Now he's teaching some of those steps to others, hoping they can dance around them to more productive lives, too.
"I'm just trying to help the (hip-hop/street-dance) culture stay alive," said Partida, a Stockton resident who performs as Sir Pop-a-Lot. "Keep it peaceful. It's a peaceful way to use their energies. I'm someone who can help them see that. And that gives kids a chance see there are other things out there."
He'll demonstrate those possibilities Saturday during the West Coast Popping & All Styles Championship, an eight-hour dance-athon at Stockton's Podesto Teen Impact Center.
"I try to keep the kids out of trouble," said Partida, 44, who's overcome significant obstacles to keep street-dancing for 31 years. "There aren't enough events in this area."
To help, he befriended an old-school role model on Facebook.
"Me being an ex-kid dancer, there's nothing like it for kids who do dance just to be shaking my hand," said Vidal "Lil Coco" Rodriguez, 38, who became known for the seemingly impossible moves he made in "Breakin'," a seminal 1984 movie. "It shows them they can improve their lives. I'll do anything to save kids. Get kids going in the right direction."
Rodriguez, whose twin daughters inherited his dancing DNA, is one of Saturday's judges. He's paying his own expenses. The competitors will be popping and breaking for $1,400 in "cash and prizes."
Six area dancers will be featured: Angelo "Pop Father" Magdaleno; David "Surf Boogie" Carr; Sean "Psycho C" Cruz; Jason "Jasonic" Hamilton; Jeff "Smooth Boogie" Jackson and Ivan "IMAX" Montijo.
The competitors mostly are between 18 and 21, with three "in their 40s" to provide some choreographic perspective.
Groups from Chihuahua and Monterrey, Mexico, are competing, and Partida said Univision, a cable TV network, is taping parts of the event. It's being underwritten by a local Pepsi distributor.
"It's a positive outlet for them," said Stockton's Joseph Bague, whose sons are tutored by Partida. "As long as they're happy, I'm happy."
The Bague Boys - Jaryan, 9, a fourth-grader, and Aiydan, 8, a third-grader - attend Rosa Parks Academy and are competing Saturday. Jaryan does West Coast popping and Aiydan is a B-boy (East Coast break-dancer). Ami is their "momager."
Partida and Rodriguez helped beat their odds by dancing.
"I was a troubled kid myself," said Partida, who was born in Galt and attended five high schools. "California-style, West Coast popping - robotic-style body waves, miming, mirrors, like a Michael Jackson video" - was his specialty.
In 2000, while working in Sacramento, he suffered a "paralyzed nerve in my brain." That caused paralysis of his left side. The prognosis wasn't good.
After "four or five months," he said, "it was like a miracle."
He stopped taking his medications - "I don't advise anyone to ever do that" - and regained movement.
"Any time, it can come back," said Partida, who's a dental assistant and hygienist in Lodi and a licensed masseur. "That's why I do all this for kids. It gave me the blessing to do what I need to do that's right. My mind totally changed after I was paralyzed. Now, I throw dances. I'm someone they can talk to if they have something going on. I'm doing all I can in case it does come back."
He also assists with San Joaquin County Youth Services, Lifescan - where Sonia Chavez, the mother of his children, Leticia, 21, and Gabriel, 18, works - and No Guns, Yes Guitars, a teen center program through which young people can exchange weapons for instruments.
"We're trying to keep them away from violence," he said.
Rodriguez, originally from Torrance, grew up in Wilmington in Los Angeles County. One of six children, his single mom died from alcoholism when he was 7.
As a child, he danced on Southern California street corners to earn money - "whatever scraps were left" - and support his siblings.
Rodriguez grew up with Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers and Bruno "Poppin' Taco" Falcone, who danced with Jackson. After breaking through in "Breakin'," he appeared with Lionel Richie and others. At 12, he "retired" to support his family.
Rodriguez now has one of his own. His twin 6-year-old daughters - Hailey ("Jadie Legs") and Hannah ("Pop") - dance. Hailey competes Saturday. Wife Mary Taylor's son Kashmier, 13, dances and is a promising freshman football player at Bellflower High School.
"Once we have their attention, it takes away whatever's going on at home," Rodriguez said from Bellflower. "Peer pressure. Hunger. If they don't have a mom or a dad. Or don't have anything. For an hour or two, it's all gone by being happy for that time. It's so relevant for the world, it's an open book.
"They relate in a positive way. They start to open up to you and start talking about being a young woman and young man thinking things will work themselves out. It builds character and strength. It gives them the confidence to succeed."

XFX HD 5570 Review
Entry-level graphics cards might not draw the same level of excitement as their high-end counterparts, but don't let that fool you. More mainstream products are sold day to day than the high-end gear, making these products very important to a companies bottom line. In fact, the most expensive and powerful graphics card in a series are used more for hype toward the rest of the line than they are to make a profit. Think about how many of us can spend $600 every time a new graphics series comes out. Honestly, not many people can. However, if that $600 card is the fastest around and can generates a lot of buzz, the chances are that the consumer will want to pick up a more mainstream offering from the same series.
The mainstream entry that we are going to be looking at today is the HD 5570 from XFX. The HD 55XX line sits between the HD 54XX and HD 56XX series and has performance that corresponds to its positioning in the market. Essentially, this means that you are not going to be doing any high resolution gaming with this card; however, it should be more than enough for gaming after the settings have been scaled back. For most users this is going to be plenty as there's actually only a small segment of the market that turns up their game settings to the max. Also, with an economy where more and more people are having to live on a tight budget, graphics cards such as the XFX HD 5570 are starting to look like a very good option to those of with higher a premium.
Closer Look:
The XFX HD 5570 comes packaged in a small rectangular box that carries an industrial feel. This is a theme that XFX is using for the current ATI line-up and one that gives the box a nice eye catching look. Along with the nice look, there is also a good deal of information found on both the front and back panels. The front mainly deals with the model name and supported technologies, whereas the back goes into a detailed explanation of the graphics card and its features. Once you open the outer packaging, you are greeted with a plain white box that houses the graphics card and accessories. The HD 5570 is found on the top portion of the box and comes wrapped in an antistatic bag.
Entry-level graphics cards usually don't come packed with the accessories found with high-end cards and, as such, the HD5570 is true to form. What you do get is a drivers disk and a quick install guide for both the drivers and graphics card. Also included is a unique I.D. card. This card includes the GPU's Part Code, Serial number and a personal account code all in one convenient location. With this information being readily available the end-user will not have to remove the graphics card for their system to get the info need to send in a support ticket to XFX.
Next up, we're are going to take a closer look at the XFX HD 5570.

The contribution of community cookbooks is not to be overlooked in the Lowcountry's rich food history.
For one, they have given a voice to generations of families cooking "real" food day in and day out. By real, I mean recipes used by countless home cooks whether they were preparing an appetizer for a party, fixing Tuesday night's supper or baking a cake for a church bazaar.
They are recipes with generally accessible ingredients that aren't too long or hard to follow. Among them are old recipes that speak to our culinary past.
Many of these cookbooks also offer a big helping of context or history along with the recipes. Some have earned national recognition and have seen numerous printings, such as the Junior League's grande dame, "Charleston Receipts," or "Popular Greek Recipes" from the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church.
But others have been like shooting stars that blazed for a time then faded.
My bookshelves at the office are filled with the likes of "Charred to Recognition" (Green Pond Volunteer Fire Department) and "From the Camp to the Road" (Church of Our Savior, Seabrook).
Recently, "Close to Heaven" came to my attention. It's subtitled "The Lowcountry Cuisine of St. Paul's Parish, South Carolina."
The cookbook was originally published in 2000 by the St. Paul's Garden Club but underwent a major updating in 2006. The book has been successful enough for the club to do a reprinting of 500 this year.
The cool thing about this cookbook is its format: two books in one. Open it one way and you'll dive right into the 300-plus recipes. Flip the book over and you'll find a completely different cover that leads the reader into a brief history of St. Paul's Parish, including prominent families, political officials and maps.
Did you know that Meggett was known as the "Cabbage Capital of the World" in the early 1900s?
In addition, each section of the recipe part is prefaced with a color page that profiles a historic home in the parish.
Patti Dutko, a garden club member who did the illustrations and cover for the book, says the cookbook was a labor of love for those involved: "the members giving up their wonderful recipes," along with gathering the historical material and pulling all the details together.
"We love our gardening and we love our cooking and came up with the idea to do this book," she says. "We've had such a great reception."
The club, which dates to 1929 and is 42 members strong today, uses the money for a scholarship and a number of projects. Those include maintaining a Meditation Garden in the St. Paul's Episcopal Cemetery on Chapel Road and a Champney Rose Garden at the Ravenel Depot on S.C. Highway 165.
"We do a lot. The money goes a long way," she says.
The cookbook is priced at $20 and is available at several locations and also by mail, with an added $4 shipping fee. Email email@example.com if interested in a mail-order.
Retail locations include the Edisto Museum and King's Market on Edisto Island; The Piggly Wiggly and Firehouse restaurant in Hollywood; Charleston Collections near Citadel Mall; Historic Charleston Foundation on Meeting Street; and Magnolia Plantation.
Here is a good summertime recipe from the book:
31/2-pound chicken
2 onions
6 red potatoes
2 zucchini squash
1/2 cup white wine
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 ripe tomatoes, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
Oregano to taste
Olive oil
Parmesan cheese to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Wash and cut up chicken; pat dry.
Peel and slice onions, potatoes and zucchini.
Butter a casserole dish generously. Place chicken in center, surround with onions, potatoes and zucchini. Pour wine and lemon juice over all. Sprinkle to taste with salt, pepper, oregano, olive oil, Parmesan cheese and ripe tomatoes over all.
Bake until chicken is tender and juices run clear (Internal temperature should reach 165 when a meat thermometer is inserted into the thickest part of the thigh; about an hour.)
A recipe from Patti herself:
For cake:
1 (18.25-ounce) box white or yellow cake mix
1 (3.4-ounce) box pistachio instant pudding mix
3 eggs
1 cup club soda or ginger ale
1 cup vegetable oil
For frosting:
1 package Dream Whip dessert topping
1 (3.4-ounce) box instant pistachio pudding mix
11/2 cups milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For the cake: Combine all ingredients together. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed for 4 minutes. Pour cake batter into a greased and floured bundt pan.
Bake for 45 minutes. Cool in pan 10 to 15 minutes then invert onto wire rack to cool.
For the frosting: Mix all ingredients and blend until frosting thickens. Spread over the top of the cake.
Optional: Add nuts or cherries for decorations.
Gennie Segal of Mount Pleasant is looking for a recipe for an Italian cookie "that is just as wonderful" as biscotti, but not biscotti. She is hoping someone will come forth with a family recipe.
Coworkers are seeking slow-cooker recipes with chicken or beef that are good for summer eating.

What is estradiol topical?
Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a female sex hormone that regulates many processes in the body.
Estradiol topical (for the skin) is used to treat certain symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, and vaginal dryness, burning, and irritation.
Estradiol topical may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of estradiol topical?
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using estradiol topical and call your doctor at once if you have:
- abnormal vaginal bleeding;
- a lump in your breast;
- confusion, problems with memory or concentration;
- heart attack symptoms--chest pain or pressure, pain spreading to your jaw or shoulder, nausea, sweating;
- liver problems--nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, tired feeling, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
- signs of a stroke--sudden numbness or weakness (especially on one side of the body), sudden severe headache, slurred speech, problems with vision or balance;
- signs of a blood clot in the lung--chest pain, sudden cough, wheezing, rapid breathing, coughing up blood; or
- signs of a blood clot in your leg--pain, swelling, warmth, or redness in one or both legs.
Topical estradiol is absorbed through the skin of a child who comes into contact with this medicine. Call your doctor if a child who has close contact with you develops swollen nipples or enlarged breasts.
Common side effects may include:
- breast pain;
- headache;
- vaginal itching or discharge, changes in your menstrual periods, light vaginal bleeding or spotting;
- thinning scalp hair; or
- nausea, vomiting, bloating, stomach cramps.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What is the most important information I should know about estradiol topical?
You should not use this medicine if you have any of the following conditions: a history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot, a bleeding or blood-clotting disorder, liver disease, abnormal vaginal bleeding, history of an allergic reaction to estradiol topical, or a hormone-related cancer such as breast or uterine cancer.
Do not use if you are pregnant.
Estradiol may increase your risk of developing a condition that may lead to uterine cancer. Call your doctor at once if you have any unusual vaginal bleeding while using this medicine.
Children should avoid coming into contact with skin areas where you have applied estradiol topical. Topical estradiol is absorbed through the skin and can cause side effects in a child who comes into contact with this medicine or with skin where the medicine was applied.
Estradiol should not be used to prevent heart disease, stroke, or dementia, because this medicine may actually increase your risk of developing these conditions. Long-term use may also increase your risk of breast cancer or blood clot.
What should I discuss with my health care provider before using estradiol topical?
You should not use estradiol topical if you have:
- abnormal vaginal bleeding that has not been checked by a doctor;
- any type of breast, uterine, or hormone-dependent cancer;
- a history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot (especially in your lung or your lower body);
- liver disease;
- a bleeding or blood-clotting disorder;
- if you are pregnant or may become pregnant; or
- if you have ever had an allergic reaction to estradiol topical.
Estradiol will not prevent heart disease, heart attack, stroke, breast cancer, or dementia, and may actually increase your risk of developing these conditions. Estradiol may also increase your risk of uterine or ovarian cancer. Talk with your doctor about your individual risks.
To make sure estradiol topical is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
- unusual vaginal bleeding;
- heart disease;
- asthma;
- epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
- liver or kidney disease;
- hereditary angioedema;
- endometriosis;
- a thyroid disorder;
- lupus;
- high levels of calcium in your blood (hypercalcemia);
- migraines;
- gallbladder disease; or
- risk factors for coronary artery disease (such as diabetes, smoking, being overweight, having high blood pressure or high cholesterol, having a family history of coronary artery disease, being older than 40, or if you have had a hysterectomy).
Do not use estradiol topical if you are pregnant. Use effective birth control to prevent pregnancy while you are using this medicine.
Estradiol can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. This medicine may also slow breast milk production. Do not use if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I use estradiol topical?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not use this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Estradiol may increase your risk of developing a condition that may lead to uterine cancer. Your doctor may prescribe a progestin to take while you are using estradiol, to help lower this risk. Report any unusual vaginal bleeding right away.
Read all patient information, medication guides, and instruction sheets provided to you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Apply estradiol topical only to clean, dry, unbroken skin. Do not apply to skin that is red or irritated. Never apply this medicine to the breasts.
To use the topical gel (such as Estrogel):
- Apply estradiol topical gel to the outside of your arm, from wrist to shoulder. Use the gel at the same time each day.
- Do not rub the gel in, but allow it to dry on your skin for at least 5 minutes before you dress.
- The gel form of this medicine is flammable. Avoid using near open flame, and do not smoke until the gel has completely dried on your skin.
To use the topical emulsion (such as Estrasorb):
- Apply this medicine while you are sitting down. You will use two foil pouches each time you apply this medication, unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
- Cut or tear open the foil pouch and place the pouch on top of your left thigh, with the open end of the pouch pointing toward your knee.
- Hold the pouch with one hand and use the fingers of your other hand to gently push all of the medicine out of the pouch and onto your thigh.
- Spend at least 3 minutes rubbing the gel into your entire left thigh and calf. Rub any excess medicine onto your buttocks.
- Cut or tear open the second pouch and apply the medicine to your right leg using the same method described above.
To use the topical spray (such as Evamist):
- Apply the spray to the skin on the inside of your forearm, just below the elbow. Use the spray at the same time each day.
- Place the cone of the spray applicator directly to your skin and hold the pump upright. Press the pump fully one spray. If your doctor has prescribed more than one spray, choose a different place on your inside forearm for the second spray. Use only the number of sprays your doctor has recommended.
- Do not rub the spray in, but allow it to dry on your skin for at least 2 minutes before you dress. Do not wash your arm for at least 30 minutes after applying the spray.
Wash your hands with soap and water after applying the gel or emulsion. Avoid allowing other people to get this medicine on their skin. If this happens, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
Children should avoid coming into contact with skin areas where you have applied estradiol topical. Topical estradiol is absorbed through the skin and can cause premature puberty in a child who comes into contact with this medicine or with skin where the medicine was applied. Cover treated areas with clothing to protect others from coming into contact with the skin where you apply this medicine.
Your doctor should check your progress on a regular basis (every 3 to 6 months) to determine whether you should continue this treatment. Self-examine your breasts for lumps on a monthly basis, and have regular mammograms while using estradiol.
If you need surgery or medical tests or if you will be on bed rest, you may need to stop using this medicine for a short time. Any doctor or surgeon who treats you should know that you are using estradiol.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Use the missed dose as soon as you remember. If you are more than 12 hours late, skip the missed dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, breast tenderness, drowsiness, and vaginal bleeding.
What should I avoid while using estradiol topical?
Do not apply sunscreen to your skin at the same time you apply estradiol topical.
Avoid getting this medicine in your eyes. If this does happen, rinse with water.
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may interact with estradiol and lead to potentially dangerous effects. Discuss the use of grapefruit products with your doctor.
What other drugs will affect estradiol topical?
Other drugs may interact with estradiol topical, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Tell each of your health care providers about all medicines you use now and any medicine you start or stop using.
Where can I get more information?
Your pharmacist can provide more information about estradiol topical.

I really shouldn't say "affair"—just a gathering of about four or five at thc home of a young man. v;ho was an actor sometimes—when he could get work—and at other times, he helped his father fix roofs. He was a young man in his middle twenties. All of a sudden he arose. "Excuse mc, a minute," he said, "I've got tc write a play." r smiled—So did several others. "Funny fellow," I said. "He's going to write a play in a minute." "Yes," they chiriwd, "he's tliat way. He keeps ou writing plays, but nobody ever sees them but himself." Roofer Turns Playright But now he has clicked—and "howl Yes, it's John Wexley—<jf \vhom I do pen these lines—authoi' of "The Last Mile," which appears to he the outstand¬ ing hit of the New York season. Already sold out for three months in advance, with an offer from Hollywood of $100,- 000 for the fihn right.s. Wexley is a nephew of Maurice Schwartz of Jewish Art Theatre fame, and now and then he has played parts with his uncle. Not so many years ago, he was hoboing over the country and claims the ,chain]Honship for sleeping in town jails. In his tramping, for want of money to stop at hotels, he lodged at pplice_ stations—in no less than (15 tovrais and villages. His real iiamc, hy the way, is Jacob Wexler. Origin of "British" There have been two books recently is¬ sued dealing with the life of King George and from them I gather that while the whole world calls the Prince of Wales hy the name, Edward, he is just plain David to his royal pa and ma. Some day then we shall have a King David on the throne of Britain. And then, I dare say, that group of English¬ men who have always maintained that the English are the lost Ten Tribes, will urge more strongly their beliefs. One of ' their arguments, I understand, is based ¦ on the very .word—"British." They say it comes from the Hebrew words— "Brith Ish'* — that is, a man-of tbe Covenant. . Penn On the Indians But if I were disposed to accept any theory of the Ten Tribes other than thev were assimilated with their neigh¬ bors and so were lost, I would rather lean to the claims made for the Amcfican Indians. If you want to read something inter¬ esting along those lines, go to your li¬ brary, and dig up some of the writings of William Penn, the Quaker founder of the State of Pennsylvania. Penn belieyed that the Red Men were Hebraic^ in origin. He pointed out that the Indian tribes were in the habit of offeripg as a sacrifice their first fruits, that in their councils, it was the elders who decided, jn true Scriptural fashion— they also believed in a Great .Spirit but worshipped many other things as subor¬ dinate, gods, and did not the Hebrew prophet exclaim—"How many are thy gods, O Israeli" Moreover, Pnen thought that the Indian tongue had sim- i-arities to the Hebrew and Penh knew Hebrew. He thought, too, that their fa¬ cial features, bore much in common with the Jews. Impressed by Jerusalem If you want t6 know who will be the real Jews of tomorrow, don*t visit yoiir so-called ghettoes — don't search out those who have been steei>ed and saturated in a Jewish atmosphere. At least, that's my theory. Instead, visit the homes of those perhaps, whom you have felt were a bit alienated from the Jewish idea. Recently a young girl, daughter of a Jewish multimillionaire, Many Are Looking Forward To the Zionist Concert On March 23rd Cantor Anshel Freedman la In Charge Of All Arrangements For The Affair To Be Held At Hebrew School Plans arc nowmidt^r way for the con¬ cert being arranged by the Coliimbus Zif^nist District to be licld on Sunday, March 23rd, at the Columbus Hebrew School Auditorium on East Kich Street, it was announced this week by Robert Mellman, president of the District. Cantor Anshel Freedman of the Agudath Achim Synagog has charge of arrange¬ ments for the affair and is now getting together some excellent musical features and numbers for this occa.sion. One of the special events of this con¬ cert will be the presentation of a radio to the lucky number selected from a large box containing all tickets which have been sold for the affair. The Ex¬ ecutive Board have ' been distributing these tickets during the past few weeks and according to many of the inembers, a large .sale has thus far occurred. At the last meeting of the Executive Boar<l held last Siindny, it was decided to start a si>eclal cami>aign in order tb collect outstanding delinquent dues from those niembers \vho have not paid Ihcir dues for W29. Letters received from national ofTicials of the Zionist Organi- xatiunof America urge Coliimbus to in¬ crease its menihership and also to collect outstanding delinquent dues. A commit¬ tee is now working to plan procedure for this purpose. The Executive Board have under, ad¬ visability the niatter of arranging a pro¬ test meeting for March 16th in reference to the religious persecution of the Soviet Russian Government. Letters have been received from the American Jewish Con¬ gress urging Columbus to eoopcrate with, all other communities in holding protest meetings. Leaders of the community have not definitely decided what to do. This matter wiir be decided during the coming week. Word has been received from Isaac Carmel of Oeveland that Rabbi Barnett R. Brickner will be available for a joint meeting of thc Columbus Zionist District and the B'nai B'rith Lodge during the month of March. Definite plans will be Eimounced later.

SERVICES AT THE BRY¬ DEN ttOAD TEMPLE SUNDAY MORNING "Does Capital Punishment Prevent Murder?" will be the subject of Rabbi Jacob Tarsh¬ isb's lecturii this Sunday morn¬ ing, at 11 o'clock. As usual the address will be broadcast over WAIU, 468 meters, 640 kilocycles. Those who can at¬ tend the services in person are urged to do so together with*^ their families. The broadcast¬ ing has been arranged by the Temple Board of Trustees for those who find it inconvenient to be in personal attendant at the non-Bectarian services. Last Sunday morning the Rabbi spoke on "Who Is Your Friend?" He has received numerous let¬ ters regarding the joy and in¬ spiration which his radio talks have brought to hosts of people throughout Central Ohio. Wollstein, secretary of the Brotherhood. Vocational guidance is one of the im¬ portant themes for the adolescent boy and even adults arc^anxious to haye an analysis of various fields of vocation by those qualified to discuss such matters. The program committee tinder the ciiair¬ nianship of Dr. S. D. Edelman has ob¬ tained the following representative men: Harry C. Bard, president of More¬ house-Martens Co., as a business man; John XL Vorys, of Vorys, Seymour, Sa¬ fer and Pease, as an attorney; Professor Herbert Osborne of Ohio State Univer¬ sity as a teacher; and Dr. J. F. Baldwin, as a physician. Tbe last two meetings have been pro¬ nounced very successful and it is hoped to maintain the same enthusiasm and in¬ terest at this meeting on Tuesdaj'. Allan. Tarshish will preside at the meeting. It was announced' this week that one hundred and four members of the Broth¬ erhood are subscribers of ,the "Jewish Layman," a magazine published by the National Federation of Temple Brother¬ hoods; Tbe last two meetings this year were commented upoii by the "Jewish Lay¬ man" in the last Issue and as a result of this, several very cQmmeiKlatory letters were received from other Brotherhoodf throughout the country. To £>cople who know anything about rare books thc name Roscnbach is magi¬ cal and it was no surprise to them when Dr. Abraham S. Wolf Roscnbach oi Philadelphia, America's most eminent bibliophile, celebrated Washington's Birthday by calmly announcing that he had purchased from the Royal tristilution of Great Britain 20,000 documents and\ letters constituting a virtual day by day record of the British army's struggle against thc American colonists. i he value of this collection in dollars and cents cannot be measured and to histori¬ ans and scholars -it is invaluable. Some of thc rarest and most precious literary gems in the world arc now or have at some time in thc last 25 years been in Dr. Rosenbach's iwssession. Imbued with the book-collector's passion in his youth and imbibing tlic book atmosphere of his uncle's book-shop. Dr. Uosenbach has been on the hunt for rare books since he was eleven. Millions of dollars' worth of literary treasures have been uneartticd by him and be has said millions more will yet be uncovered. Dr. Rosenbacli considers book-collecting thc most exhil¬ arating si)ort of all next to love. In ad¬ dition to being a collector he Is a walking cncycIoj>cdia of dates, quotations and de¬ scriptions of rare pamphlets and manu¬ scripts. If we didn't know better we might think that Salmon O. Levinson of Chi¬ cago was a publicity hound for he gets Into the public prints often. The father of the Kellogg Peace Pact and one of the outstanding advocates of world [)eace by treaty and the man who more frc- c)uently than any other has been men¬ tioned as the most likely recipient of thc Nobel Peace Prize for 1929 is again in the headlines. This time he is voted one of thc twelve living men and women who are considered the most effective public influence - for 'international cooperation and world peace. He was chosen in an international questionnaire sent out by the World Unity Magazine to educators, clergymen, e^tors kndi sociologists in all parts of the world. Levinson was one of five Americans selected, the others being Herbert Hoover, Jane Add^mj, Frank Kellogg, and Elihu Root. Lcvinsori was seventh in the list of vqtes, those below him being Remain RoUand, Jan Smuts and Ehrich Marie Remarque. L. SILLMAN ADDRESSES ZANESVILLE B'NAI B'RITH LODGE CHILDREN'S MASQUERADE PARTY AT THE EAST BROAD ST. TEMPLE A children's masquerade party will take place tomorrow (Sunday) after¬ noon, March flth, at 2:30 o'clock, at the East Broad Street Temple. All parents are request^ to bring or send their children, as a very enjoyable time is in store for them. On Sunday afternoon, March 2nd, Gi- hon Lodge No. 105, L O. B. B., was ad- tressed by Justin L, Sillman of Colum¬ bus. On this occasion five new niembers were inducted into the Order. Mr. Sill¬ man spoke on "Romance and the Jew." Rabbi Israel Klein of District No. C, L 0. B. .B., delivered an instructive address on "The Work of tbe B^nai B'rith.'' The meeting was marked by an unusually good attendance, despite the inclement v.eatber. SISTERHOOD SABBATH WILL BE CELEBRATED ON FRIDAY EVENING/ &IARCH 14th TKe annual Sisterhood Sab¬ bath under the auspices of the Rose E. Lazarus Sisterhood of Temple Israel will be held on Friday evening, March 14th. ac¬ cording to an announcement by Mrs. Flora Daisy Loeb, presi¬ dent. Mrs. Saul Lavine of Pitts¬ burgh, president of the Penn^ sylvama State Federation of Temple Sisterhooda. and also chairman of Religious Schools for the National Federation of Temple Sisterhood^i as well as a member of tbe Executive Board of the N. F. T. S., will be the speaker of the evening. Mrs. Edwin J. Schanfarber will read the services. Mrs. Simon Laza¬ rus will Introduce the speaker, and M'a. A. W. Loeb will ^ve the clwiing prayer. It is hoped that a representa¬ tive attendance will turn out tp greet the speaker of' the eve¬ ning. In the death of Sophie Levin, the Red Cross movement has lost one of its most indefatigable workers and tireless lead¬ ers. Few . Americans have not at some tinie or other contributed to the annual Red Cross roll call. It was this plan of fund-raising that was developed by So¬ phie Levin "who was to Pittsburgh's so¬ cial welfare world what Lillian Wald is to New York and Jane Addams to Chi * cago. In the passing ot the founder of the Mothers' Pension League of Alleg¬ hany County the mothers of Pittsburgh are deprived bf their most active cham¬ pion. Once the secretary of the late Dr. Leonard Levy of Temple Rodef Shalom she drifted into Red Cross work during the Belgian Relief Campaign. I.ater she directed the work of raising funds for the German war sufferers and the vic¬ tims of the Mississippi flood. Her^jears cf effort along welfare linies culminated shortly before her death when the Na¬ tional Red Cross presented her with a medal which she accepted on what was to be her death bed. George Jean Nathan, who for veai s has figured in this country together wilh Mencken as one of the twin "bad hoyii" in American literature and journalism, has left the "Mercury." In the March issue of that well-known green-covered magazine of Babbitt-baiters, Nathan's usual "Clinical Notes" and theatricil re¬ views do not appear, nor does "George Jean Nathan, contributing editor" appear any more on the "Table of Contents" page, where we find for the first time the name of "Charles Angoff, assistant' editor" (also a Jew). There Is no edi¬ torial announcement or explanation of the reason for Mr. Nathan's severance of the famous partnership with Men¬ cken, which began with the old "Smart Set" and continued when .Alfred Knopf decided to give the two "eiifants Icr- ribles'* a new medium for the expression bf their iconoclastic ideas in the "Ameri¬ can Mercury." One explanation may lie ii: the fact that Natlian is spending a good part of his time nowadays in Paris, and is thus unable to "cover" the New York theatrical season. It is rumored however that Nathaii has for years been (lissatisiied with Mencken's absorbed in¬ terest in the "zoological garden of American politics," as displayed on the I^ges of the "Mercury," that he lamented the fact that the "Mercury" devoted so little space to belles-lettres and so much to the "booboisie," and that he once face¬ tiously introduced Mencken to a friend afi "tlie coming mayor of Baltimore" As a matter of fact Nathan resigned several years, ago as co-editor of the "Mercury** and became merely its contributini? editor. And now literature and journalism have parted company completely.

Are citizens receiving the greatest development impact for their development dollar? This is the basic principle at the heart of International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), a voluntary, multi-stakeholder initiative that seeks to improve the transparency of aid, giving citizens in developing and donor countries the information they need to hold their governments to account for use of those resources.
Last week, as Publish What You Fund (PWYF) released their second Aid Transparency Index (ATI), which assesses adherence of the world's major donors to their IATI commitments, the question turned from one of how institutions performed on the index to one of how aid transparency enables effectiveness, accountability and social change in real terms.
Kicking off the conversation, Duncan Edwards of the Institute of Development Studies challenged the basic assumption that because better data/information is accessible, citizens, governments and institutions will use it in their decision making processes. The common narrative in open development projects is flawed, Edwards claims, it simply cannot be proven that to "provide access to data/information –> some magic occurs –> we see positive change."
AidData, along with several other voices, countered that while open data is certainly not sufficient to provoke positive change it is a necessary baseline to catalyze better development outcomes.
Transparency can only lead to greater social accountability if citizens understand what data means and if there is genuine public debate about a country's development spending. The panelists at the October 24th Brookings Institution launch of the 2013 ATI report suggested how transparency can catalyze positive change:
Government Planning—Hector Corrales from the Honduran Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation demonstrated how the publication of IATI standard data by donor institutions has allowed the Honduran government to map which areas of the country are most in need of aid and what sectors are most in demand. Ultimately, Honduras plans to have a central repository where aid proposals can be submitted by citizens and donor institutions can select proposals according to their institution's mandates and priorities.
More important than citizen engagement in development planning is building social accountability for government spending, argued Caroline Anstey, former Managing Director of the World Bank. While looking at donors' aid is very important, citizens should see how their national government is spending all money, not just aid money. More transparent budget management is a significant role of the World Bank Group's role in the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI), which seeks to help signatories go beyond mere reporting to better management of resource wealth.
Donor-Funded Projects—Sheila Herrling of the Millennium Challenge Corporation argued that rather than simply disclosing data and information, donor institutions must operationalize transparency—ensuring policies and technical decision-making go "hand-in-hand." Data should drive decisions at every step of the process from creating institutional strategies to selecting projects to monitoring and evaluation. Anstey added that what is missing from the chain from donor to disbursement in the field is real-time feedback from citizens. In the private sector, companies continually ask customers what they want, but in development this tends not to happen, not by donors and not by governments. Looking to improve aid delivery to citizens is a critical part of aid effectiveness.
Demand Side—On the demand side, institutions must harness what entrepreneurs are already doing to use data, Robert Goldberg from the U.S. Department of State noted. Institutions can spend a tremendous amount of resources creating ICT platforms that are never used by citizens. During the recent World Bank Annual Meetings, Vinay Bhargava, from the Partnership for Transparency Fund, noted a successful example of social accountability in a conditional cash transfer immunization program where community awareness programs on benefits was tailored to the local context. Danny Sriskandarajah from CIVICUS also noted an example where the organization, Section 27, that worked with parents to develop a mobile service that allowed them to notify officials when textbooks in impoverished areas were not in the classrooms.
At the World Bank, the 2010 Policy on Access to Information, opened the institution to a world of innovative Open Initiatives including— Mapping for Results, Open Finances, Open Data, Open Government Data, Open Knowledge Repository, Open Contracting, Knowledge Platforms and Hackathons to name a few. These Open Initiatives aim to close the feedback loop, encouraging citizen engagement, social accountability and ultimately greater aid effectiveness by making information and data freely available and searchable.
But where's the magic? How can the Bank and other donor institutions be better at catalyzing transparency to achieve greater social accountability? The challenge for the Bank and other donor institutions is to operationalize transparency initiatives under a coherent framework focused on better aid planning both by donors and governments, as well as focused engagement with citizens on what works on the demand side. While the performance of donor aid transparency on a standard index such as ATI is critical, the real magic occurs when focus is shifted to how aid transparency can be used to increase social accountability so that citizens are able to hold their governments to account for use of those resources.

Hi Kate,
Hi Kate,
Great post!
Just to clarify - I DO believe that access to data and information is an essential element and, similarly to Brad Parks and Samantha Custer from AidData, firmly believe that open data and information is critical in underpinning decision making at every level. My main thrust is that this on its own is not enough to bring about change. We need to develop our understanding of the how "the magic" might happen and evolve our work to increase our impact.
So i would argue that essentially my blog post is making the same point rather than counter to Brad and Samantha - data IS important, but there are many other elements which are also important. We really need to do be doing a lot more to understand how we get to the usage and action end of things.
Equally we need to utilise our increasing understanding of what is happening to be able to demonstrate the impact of "open".
Hi Kate and Duncan,
Hi Kate and Duncan,
I think the 'magic' goes beyond us and we will see more of it over time. Our 'Open' is making available, in a steady, reliable and usable way a global public good to enable and empower the public to produce that 'magic'. On the first place, we should be held accountable precisely for producing (and validating) this public good. We should then be able and open to responding to new initiatives that arise from the increased data and information in our operations. But we should be clear about the roles, accountability and attribution. Producing, validating and making available open data is a value in itself from where we should not step back even if the 'magic' disappoints in the beginning and even if it costs us a lot to upkeep. Instead we should rephrase the question: How (and who) can we help the public make better use of the data and information?
We should also monitor and measure the uptake and use of our open data in view of both being better informed about its impact and in order to produce it more efficiently and effectively - for which we are clearly responsible.
WBG (and ex-IDS Leverhulme Fellow 1988-89)
Hi Kate, Having had many
Hi Kate, Having had many conversations with Duncan (referenced in the first part of the post), I am pretty sure he is not "against open" but rather pointing out that we need to think far beyond the tech and the data to a number of other elements that make for effective citizen engagement and accountability work. These are often not sufficiently considered in theories of change because people get caught up with the tech and the data. It seems that we need a better understanding of how these things work, and we need more evidence on what approaches are effective.
It's worth reading the
It's worth reading the discussion about transparency that took place during this http://www.theguardian.com/public-leaders-network/2013/nov/13/lessons-transparency-uk-government-livechat livechat on the Guardian. See, for example, the comments I made about Onora O'Neill"s work on transparency. Basically, she says simple disclosure of information or data is insufficient to achieve what is claimed for transparency. What is needed is communication of the relevant information to the target audience in a context-appropriate manner. Then you stand a better chance of achieving the results that some may claim logically from simply disclosing data/information. A good example is the small print of a travel insurance policy you're considering buying: it may be 'transparent', in the sense that it discloses all the provisions and caveats, but how many people read a page full of 8 point type?

Deluxe, Condo-Style Lodges on Little St. Germain Lake
Wisconsin's Northern Highland region is home to some of the nation's best freshwater fishing, with muskie, walleye, northern pike, bass, and pan fish inhabiting the hundreds of lakes dotting the hilly landscape. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says that "this area epitomizes for many residents the image of 'going north' to sit on the shore of a quiet, cool lake under the shade of a majestic white pine." Surrounded by such majestic greenery, the unincorporated town of St. Germain lies along the banks of Little St. Germain Lake. With access to 2,100 feet of shoreline, Black Bear Lodge provides abundant opportunities for ice-fishing in the colder months—not to mention miles of snowshoeing and cross-country-skiing trails.
The lodge encourages visitors to make the most of the natural surroundings, no matter the season. Several networks of snowmobile trails are accessible near the lodge, including the St. Germain Bo-Boen Trail. You can borrow a pair of complimentary ice skates to glide across the lodge's outdoor rink, and warm up around a campfire afterwards. When the weather warms up, you can rent fishing and pontoon boats, canoes, and kayaks. Paved biking and hiking trails crisscross the property, leading out into Vilas County.
For a break from outdoor recreation, slip into The Bear's Den, where you can fill up on fresh, homemade pizza and burgers while enjoying the pool table, jukebox, and arcade games. Later, retire to a two-bedroom, two-bathroom deluxe lodge home. Each condo-style unit features a great room with a stone fireplace, a lakeside deck or patio with open lake views, and a complete kitchen with a fridge, dishwasher, and stove. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings are tall enough to accommodate visiting Shaquille O'Neal impersonators.
Wisconsin's Northern Highland: Towering Pines in World's Third-Highest Concentration of Lakes
Hundreds of millions of years ago, this area of northern Wisconsin near Michigan's Upper Peninsula looked more like the Rocky Mountains than the Great Plains. But between then and now, protracted erosion and glaciation slowly sanded down the once-towering peaks to produce today's gentle forested hills and endless lakes. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources believes this region boasts the world's third-highest concentration of lakes. There are 900 in the Northern Highland-American Legion State Park, many of which are ideal for fishing, boating, and canoeing. Explore this 220,000-acre state park—the most visited in Wisconsin—to see a wide variety of wildlife, including black bears, otters, beavers, and deer.

Major: Vocal Performance
Accomplishment: Paid background actress in Hollywood
House: Solah
Marissa Roberts is a triple threat: She can sing, she can dance, and she can act. She was a star in Lamoni as a Vocal Performance major, and now, only four months after graduating from Graceland, she's landed work as a paid extra in Los Angeles.
Three weeks after Marissa moved to L.A., she signed with Central Casting Los Angeles, one of the largest casting agencies in California. "Being out here in L.A. is definitely a whole new world," said Marissa. "You really have to want it and keep your head up no matter what. And that's one of many things I can give Graceland credit for. I feel more confident in myself, my career, and my knowledge surrounding my degree."
But Marissa wasn't always so confident in her abilities. "I've been singing most of my life, but I was really shy about it," said Marissa. "I would get really nervous and overthink everything from the song to the audience's facial expressions to if it's really a good choice to go down the 'performance' route. But when I auditioned for the music department and received encouraging words from the choral director, I knew Graceland was going to be a life-changing experience for me."
Marissa's turning point as a performer came during her sophomore year. One of her professors asked her to perform in a Homecoming concert, and while Marissa agreed, she was "freaking out inside," anxious about the large Homecoming audiences and intimidated at the thought of singing with Paulette Votava Resch, a brilliant musician, educator, and vocal instructor. "I'm not exactly sure what happened opening night," Marissa recalled. "I remember hyperventilating as I was walking to my spot on stage behind this sheer curtain, but the moment the lights came on me everything just stopped. It's like I became a different person. I was trying to wrap my head around it all and the crowd's reaction to what had happened. It was an unreal, unexplainable three days of performance."
After that Homecoming of her sophomore year, Marissa learned that performing "isn't about just going on stage and standing there singing a song, but making it come to life through the performance," said Marissa. "After the Homecoming concerts, I saw all the emotion in the audience and in myself, I knew that performance in general was something that I was supposed to do."
Marissa's dream is to be on Glee, the hit TV show that combines singing, dancing and acting "and always affects someone watching in a positive way," said Marissa. "For me, that's something I would love to be a part of. The other day I was on the set of the show Community, and [Glee creator] Ryan Murphy drove past me and was filming a stage down from us. To be that close to a show that has so much meaning for me really puts things into perspective. I believe this is what I'm supposed to be doing, and it's only the beginning."
Marissa is eternally grateful to have had her Graceland Experience, especially with the Music Department. "They were there through thick and thin and continuously supported and pushed me to my limit, never once doubting me," said Marissa. "They are so passionate about what they do and they care about you, not only as a student in the classroom, but as an individual.
"I can't thank my Graceland family enough for the constant support and love. I feel so lucky to have that; it's unreal."

Doctors bracing for flu patientsBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
January 04. 2013 10:36PM
Dr. Ellen Bernard's Epping office has been a busy place the past couple of weeks.
Like other medical offices across New Hampshire, Epping Health has seen a sudden spike in appointments, with patients seeking relief from high fevers, coughing, achiness and overall misery.
Bernard expected to see a lot of flu cases in February and March, but not so many so early in the season.
"I don't remember seeing it this early before and this bad," she said.
And some of the patients she's seen received the flu vaccine but still got hit.
The flu is widespread in 41 states, with 29 states reporting high levels of influenza-like illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
New Hampshire is among 10 states reporting low levels of flu-like illness, but state health officials said cases are on the rise.
"I think it's a very active season and early, in comparison to the last couple of years. The last couple of seasons were milder and peaks were well after January," said Chris Adamski, the state's bureau chief of infectious diseases.
The calls began picking up at Derry Medical Center a week before Christmas and have shown no sign of slowing down.
"It's really starting to hit. We expect the next few weeks we'll continue at this high rate," said Susan Chadwick, director of marketing at Derry Medical Center, which has offices in Derry, Londonderry and Windham.
Doctors have been squeezing patients in for a visit on the same day they call, Chadwick said, and Saturday's schedule is packed with appointments for those like the family of five who visited the office last Saturday and all tested positive for the flu.
Local doctors said it's not too late to get the flu vaccine, unless you're already sick. Since flu season can last into late spring, a flu shot now could still help in the months ahead, although doctors stress that the vaccine won't prevent all cases of the flu.
One reason for the severity of the flu this season may be the type of virus being passed around.
According to the CDC, about 76 percent of the viruses being reported are the influenza A (H3H2) virus, which often contributes to a more severe season.
The H3H2 virus, a second influenza A virus (H1N1) and an influenza B virus are included in the vaccine being used in this year's flu shots, Adamski said.
While the CDC says 91 percent of the influenza viruses analyzed so far are the ones in the vaccine, health officials said there's no guarantee that a person won't catch the flu even after receiving the shot because there could be other strains circulating.
In addition, Adamski said some people may have become ill because they were vaccinated recently and their body hasn't had enough time to build up antibodies.
The vaccine isn't perfect, Adamski said, "but it's the best tool that we have."
Adamski urged people with underlying medical conditions to consult with their health care provider if they experience flu-like symptoms. She said it's also important to check with your doctor if symptoms persist or if a person begins experiencing chest pain or shortness of breath because the flu can lead to pneumonia.
Lamprey Health Care, with offices in Nashua, Newmarket and Raymond, has seen more patients with upper respiratory distress from both the flu and pneumonia.
"We've definitely seen an increase, and many have tested positive for the flu," said Ann Peters, CEO of Lamprey Health Care.
Dr. Martin Schwartzberg, a pediatrician at River Road Pediatrics in Bedford, said his office began seeing children with influenza-like symptoms at the end of November into December.
As a pediatrician, Schwartzberg is especially concerned about children, who are at a higher risk of experiencing breathing difficulties and pneumonia. Because children under 6 months old can't be vaccinated, he said it's important that other family members receive the flu vaccine "so those babies are kept as safe as possible."
The CDC has reported as many as 18 children nationwide have died from flu-like symptoms so far this season.
"My hope is that it will peak soon and perhaps we'll have an early season and we'll be past it much sooner," Schwartzberg said.

In the past year, Baroness have gone through things that would rip most bands apart. They released the double album Yellow & Green last summer that was initially met with divisiveness. Shortly after, the band was involved in a horrendous bus accident - similar in destruction to the fatal crashes involving Metallica and Decapitated that killed key members of those groups. Fortunately for Baroness there were no fatalities in the bus crash, but it left the members hospitalized and the fate of the band unknown. Well, it'll take more than a bus crash to keep the mammoth-sized beast that is Baroness down for long. Frontman John Baizley, along with guitarist Peter Adams and replacements Nick Jost and Sebastian Thomson brought every ounce of their rehabilitated selves to a sizeable crowd at the Granada theater on a humid Tuesday night.
Although Baroness is near the top of "sludge" metal bands signed to
Relapse Records from Savannah, Georgia, their sound is much more rooted
in the riff and melody of heavy metal than the dissonance and power
chords of their friends in Kylesa and Black Tusk. Baizley uses his
distinct melodic vocals in time with driving riffs to create a unique
take on this dirty type of heavy metal. Some songs, such as "March To
The Sea" and "A Horse Called Golgotha" do not shy away from the high
notes on the guitars - a rarity in sludge metal these days. These riffs
and strong bass presence mixed with impressive drum fills make for a
very danceable, or headbanging, live show. With each song played, the
stage lights were changed to the appropriate color from which album the
track originated from. Mostly yellow and green lights, though there was a
healthy dose of blue lighting and an appearance of red lighting for
"Isak" near the end of the set, which sent the crowd into a frenzy.
John Baizley and Peter Adams might just be this generations dual-guitar
attack duo in the vein of a stoner version of Judas Priest's KK Downing
and Glenn Tipton. The sound throughout most of the night was a bit too
loud, rendering Baizley's guitar and the bass sound heads and shoulders
above all else, but it evened itself out at times. And speaking of too
loud, this might have been the loudest show to ever hit the Granada.
"Board Up The House" reached excruciatingly painful levels of volume and
made some in the crowd rethink about being up too close for the band.
Despite that small gripe, Baroness played an outstanding set and the
crowd was extremely receptive. There was a lot of singing along to
nearly every single song which put a big smile on Baizley's face. If
tonight is any indication, Baroness' music transcends the heavy metal
spectrum and is common ground for countless different music tastes and
personalities. If Baroness is indeed taken from us much too soon, at
least their music will inspire and bring happiness for a much longer
The only opener of the night was Coliseum, also from the south. While
the sludge is apparent in their sound, Coliseum is very much rooted in
the hardcore punk scene. Like a grittier, faster, looser version of
Kyuss, Coliseum thrashed through a 45-minute set unleashing songs like
the infectious "Black Magic Punks" and the grooving "Blind In One Eye."
Guitarist/vocalist Ryan Patterson gave a quick speech on how their first
ever show was opening for Baroness in 2004 and have basically been
touring with them for almost a decade now. It just made their energetic
set that much more endearing and special for the moment.

Alkaline Batteries
Alkaline battery packs & assemblies or Alkaline Manganese Dioxide cells, have many advantages over zinc-carbon cells including higher energy output. Other significant advantages of alkaline battery packs & assemblies are longer shelf life, better leakage resistance, and superior low temperature performance. In comparison to the zinc-carbon cell, the alkaline cell delivers up to ten times the ampere-hour capacity at high and continuous drain conditions, with its performance at low temperatures also being superior to other conventional aqueous electrolyte primary cells. Its more effective, secure seal provides excellent resistance to leakage and corrosion. Read more
The most popular primary batteries are alkalines. Based on manganese dioxide, zinc and a caustic potassium hydroxide-zinc oxide electrolyte, alkaline-cell technology offers greater capacity for a given cell size compared with Leclanche types, but they cost more and weigh about 25 percent more.
There have been major improvements in alkaline cell performance over the decades. These improvements have been a result of changes in packaging and manufacturing techniques rather than any improvements to the basic chemical system.
In the past, alkaline batteries were made with complex sealing systems and thick steel outer cases and end caps. During the 1980s, a method was developed that allowed manufacturers to use thinner packaging materials and more efficient seals. More room was created for active materials within a given standard cell size, and that increased capacity.
In the early 90s, government mandate ruled out the use of mercury in alkaline cells providing a major challenge to manufacturers. Mercury, an environmental pollutant, was used in alkaline batteries as an anti-passivation stabilizer for the zinc electrode. Without mercury, chemical processes within the battery cause the zinc to function less efficiently as discharge proceeds because of passivation of zinc surface, thus limiting useful battery life. Manufacturers, such as Energizer and Duracell rose to the challenge and we now have mercury free cells that function as well as their predecessors.
They provide excellent performance at a price premium for applications such as toys, radios, and flashlights. Brand name recognition, i.e. Energizer and Duracell, make this chemistry an excellent choice when product image is important.

"Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It is the way it is. The way you cope is what makes the difference."
-Virginia Satir
Did you know that an estimated 17% of community dwelling older adults abuse substances, mainly alcohol? The abuse and misuse of alcohol by older adults is considered a significant public health concern in the U.S.1 It can be difficult to diagnose abuse or misuse disorders as the signs and symptoms of substance/alcohol abuse appear similar to medical and mental illnesses that sometime occur in aging. For example, some people attribute forgetfulness and irritability to be part of the normal aging process, whereas it may occur because of drinking or inappropriately mixing medications with alcohol.
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services refers to alcohol and substance abuse disorders experienced by older adults as a "hidden epidemic" that is underreported, underdiagnosed, and undertreated when compared to younger people.2
Consider the following scenario. Mrs. Smith appeared to be a typical 76-year-old widow living independently in the community. She fell at home and was taken to the emergency department of a local hospital where she was diagnosed with a broken hip. While older adults who fall are prone to fractures, the ED did not recognize alcohol as a contributing factor. However, during her hospital admission, Mrs. Smith acknowledged that she often uses alcohol to cope with and "self-medicate" her arthritis pain.
Often it is shame, embarrassment, cultural values, or other influences that hinder older adults from discussing drinking and related coping behaviors with health professionals. Myths and stereotypes also compound the problems related to substance abuse and treatment of older adults.
Myths and Stereotypes: Alcohol/Substance Abuse and Older People
Professionals working with older people act in their best interest by using evidence-based practice techniques to screen and recommend treatment. There is good evidence that screening helps to identify older adults whose alcohol consumption pattern increases their risk for chronic illness and death. In addition, it has been found that counseling about reducing alcohol intake is effective for as long as 6-12 months.3 Several evidence-based assessment tools are available for use in screening for alcohol problems. A simple alcohol-screening tool we suggest is CAGE, and it takes only a minute to administer.
CAGE - Acronym for brief screening tool that covers several assessment areas:
Two "yes" responses indicate that further screening is warranted. (75%-95% specificity)4
According to the Geriatric Mental Health Foundation, substance abuse involves:
Older people may not be aware of side effects of intentional or accidental misuse of medications or the consequences of combining with alcohol, dependency or withdrawal issues. As Health professionals, we need to educate ourselves, older people and their families about reducing alcohol and medication misuse or abuse. Regardless of whether alcohol is used as a remedy for loneliness, to self-medicate, or to cope with pain, abuse is dangerous.

Jennifer Love Hewitt may be keeping her baby's sex a surprise, but that didn't stop the mom-to-be from celebrating her little one's pending arrival in style.
On Saturday, the Client List star and 25 of her closest friends gathered for a gender-neutral baby shower at L.A.'s Hotel Bel Air.
The baby bash, which was planned by celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss, featured everything from adorable cream-colored baby cupcakes created by Georgetown Cupcakes and old-fashioned milk bottles to a cute display of mini onesies on a clothesline.
Guests were also able to mix up their own perfumes using oils from Ka-mil-yin's scent bar to take home.
To help maintain the theme, Weiss decorated the indoor ballroom with yellow flowers and complementary black and white pillows and chairs. She even shared a few pre-event photos on her Instagram account.
Hewitt, who is due in December, glowed in a flowing lemon-colored sleeveless maxi dress by Rachel Pally with her long brown locks cascading down her shoulders.
According to a source, the happy 34-year-old smiled throughout the whole party while keeping her hand on her bump. She also got teary-eyed when fiancé Brian Hallisay arrived at the end.
The soon-to-be first-time mom also opened gifts including neutral-colored books, baby blankets, toys and more from her good pals.
