Content: Just don't call her Navajo. As for the Indian term, I believe it came into use when more Indians form India immigrated to the US and it became a confusing term. As least that why I call them Native Americans. S Puppy

by being called a Native American but they don't seem to use
the term much themselves. On occasion a tribe name will be
used if there is a need to differentiate between tribes, as in
a Sioux speaking about the Cheyenne. Dogface

Now that you've had a chance to think about it, isn't it pretty obvious, welby? Indians called themselves "people." There would be no need for a word that differenciated them from people from other continents, because they didn't know that there were people on other continents. light strand

The term "native American" is increasingly being used to describe all aboriginal peoples within the United States. That includes Native Alaskans, and American Indians, and sometimes Native Hawaiians. In very general terms, Indians come from the lower 48 states. I'm sure there are exceptions. I've spoken with more than a few paranoid Indian affairs lawyers who don't like to use "Native American" because they fear the term may one day be used to undermine the trust responsibility that the United States has toward American Indians. | http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php/t-182092.html |

Believe me when I say it's a good thing to be paranoid in that line of work. Things are steadily changing, but a few years ago you could make a good guess as to whether or not a piece of Congressional legislation was good for American Indians just by reading the title. If it said "Indian" in the title, it was usually good. If it said "Native American," it was often crafted by some weasel who was trying to screw them over. Since the term now often encompasses the Indians of the lower 48 and Native Alaskans, it's a less certain indicator. | http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php/t-182092.html |

The following are facts and statistics gathered from the most-cited sources regarding abortion. Ultimately, to know the truth is to know more than just the facts and numbers. Truth is a person, so it’s not an encounter with an idea that will adequately change us. It is an encounter with God that will bring true transformation. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” Minds can be swayed by facts, but an encounter with the Lord changes both hearts and minds. Abortion worldwide

According to the Guttmacher Institute, “Women who obtain abortions are predominantly poor or low-income, in their 20s and unmarried; black women and Hispanic women continue to be disproportionately represented among abortion patients.” Abortion Norms After 20 weeks gestation
The United States is one of only seven countries in the world that permit elective abortion past 20 weeks. Upholding laws restricting abortion on demand after 20 weeks would situate the United States closer to the international mainstream, instead of leaving it as an outlying country with ultra-permissive abortion policies. | http://bound4life.com/statistics/ |

Bourbon Homework
Content: Theses grains are cooked and fermented to begin the bourbon making process. There are typically three grains in every bourbon mash bill: Corn, Rye or Wheat, and Malted Barley. Each grain percentage will vary based on distillery but generally, distilleries use three types of mash bills, Low Rye 8%-14%, High Rye 15%-35% and Wheated 18%-20% (Bonus: Rye mashbill 51%+). You can review the Distillery Summary to see which mash bills are used by the major distilleries. Corn – This is the base of bourbon and adds a majority of the sweetness in bourbon. The actual corn flavor fades with aging, but if you’ve ever tried Buffalo Trace White Dog, you’ll immediately pick up on the corn taste. Corn ranges from 51%-80% of the mash bill for most distilleries. If it drops below 51%, it’s no longer bourbon. | http://bourbonr.com/blog/bourbon-mash-bill-explained/ |

Rye – Mainly used as a flavoring grain, rye adds the spicy, minty or cinnamon flavor of bourbon. Try a rye whiskey like Bulleit or Smooth Ambler Old Scout Rye to pick up on the flavor notes of rye. You can even try eating rye toast to get a better idea of the flavoring rye adds to bourbon. Rye ranges from 8%-35% of the mash bill for most distilleries. | http://bourbonr.com/blog/bourbon-mash-bill-explained/ |

Content: If the family doctor chooses not to make a referral to a psychiatrist or psychologist, he or she will probably will treat it with an SSRI like Prozac. But the true diagnosis may turn out to be something different than depression. Not recognizing mania combined with depression, for example, is a risk because this is how many bipolar disorders are missed. Even of the depression cases that are correctly diagnosed by the family doctor, 80% are given too little medication for too short a time. ( 2) Starting with the family doctor might still be a good idea for anyone suspecting mental illness, however, because the doctor can rule out possible physical causes for mental symptoms. Some tests that are commonly done are EEG, MRI, or PET scans to rule out seizure disorders, and some lab tests to determine pituitary and thyroid function. In mainstream mental health, medication is an important ingredient in treatment of mental illness. Although the family doctor can prescribe medications, a psychiatrist is more familiar with the wide range of psychiatric medications, how to use them in combination, and how to manage their side effects. ( 3)
A majority of people diagnosed with a mental illness by their family doctor are not referred to psychiatrists. The doctor probably chats with them for a few minutes, writes a prescription, and sends the individual home. | http://brainblogger.com/2006/06/15/anti-stigmatization-family-doctor-or-psychiatrist/ |

If the individual is concerned that additional professional investigation is needed, they should insist on being referred to a psychiatrist. On the other hand, if the family doctor does suggest that an individual see a psychiatrist many people do not go at all and refuse additional treatment, because for the rest of their lives, when asked “have you ever been to a mental health professional”, they will have to say “yes”, risking jobs, relationships, insurance coverage, admission to schools, etc. due to stigmatization. They are afraid that a visit to a psychiatrist will label them as “nuts”. They may not have faith in the mental health system at all, or may not have confidence in psychiatric drugs. | http://brainblogger.com/2006/06/15/anti-stigmatization-family-doctor-or-psychiatrist/ |

And, it might just seem easier to keep their illness secret if they consult with only their family doctor. It is society’s discrimination against the mentally ill which puts a person seeking treatment in the predicament of risking the results of stigma just by trying to find the best treatment for an illness that deserves no more discrimination than any physical illness.

Indeterminism
Content: Indeterminism does not mean all events are like this – another common confusion people make. A mix of causal events and acausal events would be considered “indeterministic”. In fact, if there are just one or two acausal events in the universe, such possibilities means that the universe is “indeterministic”. It simply means that the universe is not entirely causal. It’s important to note that we simply don’t know if the universe is deterministic or indeterministic. Some people who quote Quantum Mechanics make the claim that such proves the universe is indeterministic. They are wrong. It all depends on the Quantum Interpretation the person is subscribing to. Some interpretations, such as the Copenhagen Interpretation, are indeterministic, others, such as Bohmian Mechanics or a Many Worlds Interpretation are deterministic. There are a whole bunch of interpretations. | http://breakingthefreewillillusion.com/terms/indeterminism/ |

They are “interpretations” OF the science. Think of them more as the philosophy of why things are the way they are within the mathematics and experiments of Quantum Mechanics. Each of the interpretations have parts that are very counter-intuitive.

An indeterministic interpretation that assumes acausal events happen, have to contend with what it means to say that an event has no cause. I go much deeper into this within my book, but there are problems that need to be addressed when an event simply cannot have any spacial or temporal determinacy (which means it could happen anywhere, at anytime, or never). That’s not to say that a deterministic universe wouldn’t have troubling counter-intuitiveness built in as well (e.g. non-local hidden variables, decoherence, etc.). What’s important, and what I stress, is that even if such an indeterministic universe existed, any acausal events that occur could not help free will. They would be every bit incompatible, and in fact, it is more likely to make things much worse to any creature in which an acausal event happens for the process of a decision. At best, if the acausal event just happens to produces the same results a causal event would, such would be benign. | http://breakingthefreewillillusion.com/terms/indeterminism/ |

SEPTRIN: 13 July
Dear Sir,
I have just read articles on the toxic effects of Septrin and wondered if you have any reports of growth problems for children prescribed this drug. My son, Mark, was prescribed Septrin at the age of 3 months in January 1988. He had kidney problems which resulted in continuous infections until he was 6 months old and had a hemi nephrectomy. Investigations showed that he still had reflux from the bladder after his operation and he remained on Septrin . This was a daily maintenance dose, 5ml every night before bedtime. After his operation he remained fit and well and there appeared to be no side effects from the drug and he continued on the maintenance dose. until he was about 4 years 9 months in 1992. At this point it was decided that he should stop the drug and no further kidney infections occurred. | http://briandeer.com/septrin/bactrim-effects-10.htm |

We were referred to Great Ormond Street hospital for further tests. His father is 6′ 4″ tall and I am 5′ 7″, this is considered to be above average for both male and female. A close eye was kept on his growth and although he was very small, he still appeared in proportion and very healthy. Measurements were made of his wrist bones and his predicted adult height was 5′ 2″. This is very small for two such tall parents. | http://briandeer.com/septrin/bactrim-effects-10.htm |

Measurements were made of his wrist bones and his predicted adult height was 5′ 2″. This is very small for two such tall parents. As he approached the time for adolescence to commence there were no developments at all. He progressed to the adolescent clinic at the Middlesex Hospital in London. At the age of 15 Mark was prescribed a monthly dose of Sustanon in order to kick start his body into puberty, an event that showed no sign at all at this stage. Sustanon began the changes needed for Mark and he began to develop into a young man, however, it did not also have the desired effect of helping him to grow. In December 2003 Mark started on a daily injection of Genotropin growth hormone in the hopes that this would increase his statue, unfortunately this has been unsuccessful. | http://briandeer.com/septrin/bactrim-effects-10.htm |

Bactrim-Septra: a secret epidemic
Chronology of a newspaper campaign
Content: As he approached the time for adolescence to commence there were no developments at all. He progressed to the adolescent clinic at the Middlesex Hospital in London. At the age of 15 Mark was prescribed a monthly dose of Sustanon in order to kick start his body into puberty, an event that showed no sign at all at this stage. Sustanon began the changes needed for Mark and he began to develop into a young man, however, it did not also have the desired effect of helping him to grow. In December 2003 Mark started on a daily injection of Genotropin growth hormone in the hopes that this would increase his statue, unfortunately this has been unsuccessful. His height remains at under 5′ tall and his 17th birthday is in October this year. Mark’s consultant has no answers as to why Mark is so small. He says that he will revisit Mark’s endocrinology when he has attained maximum growth. Recent x-rays showed that Mark’s bone age is 15 months behind his years and so there is room for improvement. There is a strong possibility that he will have to remain on the Sustanon for the rest of his life. | http://briandeer.com/septrin/bactrim-effects-10.htm |

My daughter, who is now 20 years old, is the same height as me so there does not appear to be a problem for her. There are no height problems in either of our families, in fact my ex husband’s family are all well above average height, even his sisters, one of whom is 5′ 10″.
Mark is a healthy and well adjusted lad. He has always been aware that he will not be tall and of the problems that he had as a baby. He was born by caesarean section, two weeks early, at a good size, 7lbs 12 ozs. | http://briandeer.com/septrin/bactrim-effects-10.htm |

I was prescribed Septra for a spider bite. Within two hours of taking one dose my air way and chest felt “tight” and it was very difficult to breathe. I was taken to the emergency and was given steroids and Benedryl for the side effects. I am now taking three different medications for three days just to offset the one dose of Septra.

Good Afternoon Brian..
I am writing to you to see if you have heard from anyone who has taken SMZ-TMP or has had their veterinarian perscribe this drug to their dog and experienced problems with their thyroid levels dropping well below the extreme lower levels….If so, could you e-mail to me those encounters…This is why…
My 12 pound, 15 yr. old dachshound had symptoms of having a possible urinary stone or infection…His urinary test came back okay but he was urinating more frequently than normal and also while sleeping and seemed to be in discomfort when he went to sit or lie down…So the Vet but him on 480mg. of SMZ-TMP for 14 days, 1/2 tablet twice a day…just in case he had an infection that was not picked up in the UA….The medication made him drowsy during the first week and where normally he is very verbal (not barking…he makes all kinds of verbal noises as if talking) he became very silent…That seemed strange but I thought it was just because the medication made him sleepy…By that Saturday and Sunday he was in such a deep sleep it was scary so I stopped giving him the whole tablet and only gave him the shorter of the half of a tablet once a day on Sunday and Monday…He seemed to improve a very very slight bit…On Tuesday during the day, I called the doctor’s office to be sure this was an antibiotic and that the dosage was correct for Theodore’s size…I was assured all was well…By Tuesday evening when I got home from work, Theodore had much problem standing up without falling to one side or the other…I took him outside to go to the bathroom and he just stood against the little garden fence as though he were still asleep…He tried to eat his dinner but seemed to have much difficulty eating…I called the doctor’s office again…This time they went over symptoms but not the one’s he had…I told them I was going to stop the medication and that was agreeable…My Vet was not in and would not be in until Friday…I was advised that if Theodore was not better in the morning I could bring him in for another Vet to see him that the medication should be totally out of his system by Wednesday evening…He was a little more improved but not enough in the morning so I took him to the Vet’s office and he was seen by another associate. | http://briandeer.com/septrin/bactrim-effects-10.htm |

I asked if Theodore’s system could be extremely sensitive to this medication and that would prompt the symptoms…I was again told that this is a very commonly used antibiotic…that the dosage was appropriate for his size and the likelyhood was very small…This vet said he looked good…She did not see a need to give him fluids to flush out his system or to take blood or UA test…I asked if she was sure and she said no…They could observe him if I wanted to leave him but they would not take any tests at this time…I felt that would just ad to his stress and brought him home…He did not improve completely by Wednesday evening so I call my vet…Again I asked if he would be sensitive to this medication, how long before it would no longer be in his system and the symptoms to stop…I was not answered..It was suggested I bring him in on Saturday to see my vet. I did…He took an extensive blood work up and called me yesterday, Monday 7/19/04, to report the following: The tests revealed emzines in his liver which has caused some damage, his chloresteral was extremely high and his thyroid levels were far below the lowest level point…
I again asked if Theodore could be extremely sensitive to this medication and again was told most likely not but there are exceptions..
Mostly, I was repeatedly told that I had to keep in mind that Theodore was old….I do not accpet that…I am right on top of my dogs’ health and they lack for nothing…These symptoms were not there before he took the medication….I also went through the list of meds the dogs had been prescribed prior for UA infections and bladder infections and found that this very drug had been used on one of my dachshunds who suffered with a brain tumor and was having a repeated problem with bladder infections and the usual antibiotics were not working…She became so lathargic (sp?) that I thought she had died…rushed her to the vet…He flushed her system and she recovered….that was about a year and a half ago and I had forgetten the name of this drug until I fould the bottle with the remaining pills that I had saved so I would not forget and ever have perscribed again…I took those to the doctor’s office with me and showed them to him and his associate and shared to joggle his memory Cricket’s episode…He remembered. Theodore has been almost as lethargic as Cricket but he has moved when I tried to awake him and he could walk somewhat where she could not…Her health problems might have also contributed to her extreme reactions…So now Theodore is on thyroid medication to hopefully bring up his levels….I am to see the vet in a week to review his improvements…If he does not show the improvements the vet thinks he should show then the vet wants to do a two part blood test…
If this drug is this dangerous…WHY IS IT STILL ON THE MARKET!!…Does the medical community have to experience massive deaths before they admit to it’s danger bef | http://briandeer.com/septrin/bactrim-effects-10.htm |

I have had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic called sulfamethoxazole that I took for 6 days. I have never had such a reaction. Of course I was told to go off med.. At night is when it happens that I wake up with big red welts around the lower front and back of my body that itch like crazy. I was taking it for an infected burn. During the day there are no symptoms while when I wake up it is awful maddening itch. I bought some Benedryl and oatmeal bath powder. This has been the last 2 days.

My labia has swelled up making sitting, walked etc very uncomforatable. Now i believe i have been on this medication once before about 2 years ago for a UTI. If i recal correctly, when i went in asking about why it hurt so much and why everything was so swollen, i had a dr. ask me “well do you think its herpies?” “ are you sure your husband has been faithful?” | http://briandeer.com/septrin/bactrim-effects-20.htm |

Bactrim-Septra: a secret epidemic
Chronology of a newspaper campaign
Content: That night she had sudden urges to urinate and couldn’t hold it and ended up wetting the bed, floor. This happened about 3 times then she ended up vomitting. Her temperature spiked to 41C. I had called the pharmacist to see if there are any harsh reactions to this drug. He told me he hasn’t heard of any and that it may be a flu that she has, aswell as a UTI. He also said that these symptoms come with having a UTI. She has no appetite and is still vomiting. I gave her childrens motrin for the fever, pepto bismol for her upset stomach as well as the sulfatrim (earlier).She wakes up in the night crying and yelling for me and doesn’t know why and is very disorientated. Now I went on the internet tonight to see what the reactions are and have found your site. Oh my god I can’t believe this drug is still on the market! Worse yet that they prescribe it to children!! | http://briandeer.com/septrin/bactrim-effects-20.htm |

I gave her childrens motrin for the fever, pepto bismol for her upset stomach as well as the sulfatrim (earlier).She wakes up in the night crying and yelling for me and doesn’t know why and is very disorientated. Now I went on the internet tonight to see what the reactions are and have found your site. Oh my god I can’t believe this drug is still on the market! Worse yet that they prescribe it to children!! I am out raged and I am going to tell this doctor all about your site so that maybe he will never prescribe any of these Meds to any one ever again. I will not be giving her anymore of this drug. Tahnk you so much for this site it just may have saved my daughters life. Desiree C, Medicine Hat, AB, Canada

Content: Cooking the Beef
Let the beef come to room temperature before you put it in the oven. Stand the roast in a pan, and season it generously with salt and pepper to taste. Start the beef in a hot oven at 425 F for the first 30 minutes, then lower the temperature to 375 F for the remaining time. Cook it to your preferred temperature using the following time recommendations: Rare: 11 minutes per pound
Medium: 14 minutes per pound
Well: 16 minutes per pound
You can test the temperature with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the beef. For safety, USDA guidelines recommend cooking roasts to a minimum of 145 F, with at least a three-minute rest after you pull it from the oven. Keep in mind that the temperature will increase another 5 to 10 degrees as it rests, however, so you can pull it slightly below your target temperature. | http://britishfood.about.com/od/introtobritishfood/a/roastbeef.htm |

Content: no! In fact, agriculture usually requires more labor per unit of food produced than does foraging
That is, a farming family has to work more hours per year to provide its own food than a foraging family does
That is why modern (or recent) foragers like the ! Kung prefer to forage rather than to farm
they were quite aware of the farmers who lived near them and the methods they used
but they could get the food they needed with less work by foraging
When Richard Lee asked the ! Kung why they don't farm, one famous reply was "Why should we farm when there are so many mongongo nuts?" butthis only works as long as there aren't too many people for the wild resources to support
when there is a lot of land per person, that is, a very low density of people
if there isn't enough land (or there are too many people), foraging just can't provide enough food
and farming (or herding animals) becomes the only alternative to hunger
This is counterintuitive to many people
we tend to assume that foragers live a hard life and are constantly on the brink of starvation
while we tend to assume that farmers have a comparatively stable, easy source of food
In fact, farmers generally work harder and have less free time than foragers. Agriculture is a devil's bargain
You get more food per acre
But you get less food per hour of work
In economic terms, agriculture increases the returns to land, but decreases the returns to labor
In a given area, agriculture can produce more food overall, and so feed more people
But they have to work harder than before to survive
There is an old idea that when people switched from foraging to farming, they escaped the pressures of a precarious existence and suddenly "had the time" to develop "civilized" features like art, literature, science, and technology
but now you know that it was quite the reverse
farmers have lessfree time than foragers
so we need some more sophisticated explanation for the development of complex society
Agriculture allows people settle in one place (become sedentary), and creates reasons for them to do so
It allowsthem to settle because
agriculture can provide enough food in a limited area that the food is not exhausted before the next season replenishes it
so people don't have to move in order to get food
It encouragesthem to settle because
fields must be tilled, weeded, irrigated, harvested, etc., which requires people to be there at many different times during the year
harvests produce a lot of food at one time, which has to be stored for use over a longer period
staying near the stored food is easier than carrying it around
Under some circumstances, foragers can be sedentary or semi-sedentary, too
but this is not common, and usually involves extreme specialization on one or a few very productive wild resources in specially favored places
we will see that these special circumstances may have been keys to the initial development of agriculture in certain favored locations
agriculture, on the other hand, allows and encourages people to become sedentary in many different environments
Agriculture and sedentism tend to lead to population growth
They tend to increase fertility for biological reasons
Increased carbohydrate consumption from agricultural crops may keep body fat levels high enough to increase fertility (or at least not periodically reduce it)
foragers often get very lean during the season of scarcity (it varies in different regions), which reduces female fertility
this is an effect familiar to female runners and dancers
Less mobile mothers have fewer spontaneous abortions
Since the mother does not have to carry her infant around while foraging, sedentism makes it practical for a woman to have more than one infant at a time, allowing larger families
mothers are not forced to take measures to prevent having another infant while a previous one is still small
such as abstinence rules, contraceptive measures, induced abortions, or infanticide, all of which were practiced by at least some foragers
Less mobile mothers may wean children sooner; this shortens the period of reduced fertility due to lactation
They may wean earlier simply because the child is not always right in their arms or on their back, as it is for mobile foragers. This has the unintentional result of increasing fertility
They also may wean earlier with the intention of having more children for farm labor; many foragers are aware of the fertility-inhibiting effect of lactation
Agriculture also provides economic incentives to have more children
Farming creates a greater demand for labor, that is, kids to help with the work
Sedentism reduces the cost of having children, since the mother does not have to carry them around as much
So farmers tend to have large families, and the population tends to grow

The Disadvantage & Advantage of Short-Term Financing
How do I Get a Short-Term Unsecured Loan? If you have a small business, you might find yourself short of cash from time to time. You might also have ambitious plans to grow your business. Either way, one way to get the money you need is to borrow it. A short-term loan is repayable within a year, whereas a long-term loan isn’t due for more than a year and perhaps much longer. Lower Interest Rates
Short-term interest rates are usually lower than long-term ones. You therefore pay less interest for a short-term loan because of both the lower interest rate and the shorter amount of time you’ll be paying interest. Short-term loans can be faster to obtain if they are relatively small, as they often are, because lenders do less underwriting (that is, evaluating your creditworthiness) for small loans. These loans can be used to plug cash shortages resulting from unexpected expenses, sales shortfalls, seasonal effects or other reasons. Lines of Credit
Frequently, businesses set up lines of credit that allow them to borrow money quickly when it's needed and then pay it back at their own pace. | http://budgeting.thenest.com/disadvantage-advantage-shortterm-financing-23376.html |

Frequently, businesses set up lines of credit that allow them to borrow money quickly when it's needed and then pay it back at their own pace. A line of credit allows you to borrow and reborrow money up to the credit limit and only pay interest on the money you actually borrow. This is a convenient and flexible short-term borrowing technique that lets you minimize your interest costs. However, the interest charged on these lines can vary over time. Use of Alternative Lenders
Banks are the usual source of long-term business loans, but short-term loans are available from alternative sources, such as online and peer-to-peer lenders. A peer-to-peer loan is arranged on a website where borrowers and lenders come together and negotiate terms. | http://budgeting.thenest.com/disadvantage-advantage-shortterm-financing-23376.html |

Figure 3: Age Distribution of Natives and Non-Citizen Immigrants, 2012
Conclusion
Content: This might explain why competition from new immigrants has mostly affected earlier immigrants, who experienced significant reductions in wages from the surge in immigration. In contrast, studies find that immigration has actually raised average wages of native-born workers during the last few decades. Immigrants are at the forefront of innovation and ingenuity in the United States, accounting for a disproportionately high share of patent filings, science and technology graduates, and senior positions at top venture capital-funded firms. In addition, the presence of immigrants often creates opportunities for less-skilled native workers to become more specialized in their work, thereby increasing their productivity. Immigration generally also improves the government’s fiscal situation, as many immigrants pay more in taxes over a lifetime than they consume in government services. However, native-born residents of states with large concentrations of less-educated immigrants may face larger tax burdens, as these immigrants pay less in taxes and are more likely to send children to public schools. Labor Market Competition
A popular view is that immigrants are taking jobs from American citizens. However, although immigrants increase the supply of labor, they also spend their wages on homes, food, TVs and other goods and services and expand domestic economic demand. This increased demand, in turn, generates more jobs to build those homes, make and sell food, and transport TVs. Most empirical studies indicate long-term benefits for natives’ employment and wages from immigration, although some studies suggest that these gains come at the cost of short-term losses from lower wages and higher unemployment. | http://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2016/1/27/the-effects-of-immigration-on-the-united-states-economy |

A popular view is that immigrants are taking jobs from American citizens. However, although immigrants increase the supply of labor, they also spend their wages on homes, food, TVs and other goods and services and expand domestic economic demand.

Most empirical studies indicate long-term benefits for natives’ employment and wages from immigration, although some studies suggest that these gains come at the cost of short-term losses from lower wages and higher unemployment. 1 Standard economic theory implies that while higher labor supply from immigration may initially depress wages, over time firms increase investment to restore the amount of capital per worker, which then restores wages. Steady growth in the capital-labor ratio prevents workers’ average productivity, and therefore their average wages from declining over the long run. Figure 2 shows the pre-1980 trend in the capital-labor ratio extrapolated over the next few decades – the period when U.S. immigration accelerated. Consistent with the theory, the actual capital-labor ratio did not significantly or permanently deviate from that trend after 1980. 2

School lunch prices on the rise
School lunch prices on the rise

Add school lunches to the long list of problems putting educators in a pickle. Amid federal rules that require more fruits, vegetables and whole grain breads, there’s another mandate: increase the price of school lunches to match what the government pays. That directive – along with pricier foods, increasing labor costs and declining sales – is pushing prices up across the region to as much as $3 per lunch. Students in more than half of the school districts in Erie and Niagara counties will pay more for lunch this year. Five districts, including Grand Island, Holland and Cheektowaga-Sloan, will ask students to pay 25 cents more this year. And some school districts will start the new year trying to figure out how to stop losing money on lunches. “You can’t just keep raising the price,” said Frontier School Board President Patrick Boyle. Frontier Central found out the hard way what happens when you increase prices too quickly. | http://buffalonews.com/2014/08/30/school-lunch-prices-on-the-rise/ |

And some school districts will start the new year trying to figure out how to stop losing money on lunches. “You can’t just keep raising the price,” said Frontier School Board President Patrick Boyle. Frontier Central found out the hard way what happens when you increase prices too quickly. Last year, the cost of lunch for elementary and high school students went up 50 cents to between $2.50 and $2.75 to make up for increasing costs. Sales dropped by 10 percent. The same thing happened across the nation as school lunch prices increased. A Government Accountability Office study found 1.2 million fewer students across the country bought school lunches between the 2010-11 and 2012-13 school years. Federally required lunch-price increases and new nutrition standards likely fueled the change, the study found. | http://buffalonews.com/2014/08/30/school-lunch-prices-on-the-rise/ |

Even as prices have gone up and meals have gotten healthier, local schools charge less for student lunches than what they cost to prepare. There are few places you can get a healthy kids meal with an entree, fruits and vegetables, and milk for under $3. “A school lunch is still a good value for the meal that’s provided,” said Anne Rich, food service director in Grand Island. But it’s not as cheap as it once was. | http://buffalonews.com/2014/08/30/school-lunch-prices-on-the-rise/ |

School lunch prices on the rise
Increasing costs
Closing the gap
Content: School lunches are still a bargain. Even as prices have gone up and meals have gotten healthier, local schools charge less for student lunches than what they cost to prepare. There are few places you can get a healthy kids meal with an entree, fruits and vegetables, and milk for under $3. “A school lunch is still a good value for the meal that’s provided,” said Anne Rich, food service director in Grand Island. But it’s not as cheap as it once was. After years of using federal school-lunch dollars to keep prices low, districts have been required since 2011-12 to steadily increase the price of a paid school lunch to close the gap between what the government pays for a student meal and what a child pays. The federal law that required cafeterias to serve more fruits and vegetables also mandates that schools increase lunch prices by up to 10 cents a year until they close that gap. Many local school districts are imposing increases of a nickel or a dime this year to satisfy the federal requirement that lunch prices rise to meet government subsidies. That has pushed the average price of an elementary school lunch in Erie and Niagara counties to $1.82 – up 4.4 percent compared to a year ago. The average high school lunch will cost $2. | http://buffalonews.com/2014/08/30/school-lunch-prices-on-the-rise/ |

But some school districts have found they need to ask families to pay even more than the federally mandated increases to make up for rising costs. “We can’t run in a deficit,” said Mary Brucz, food service director at Cheektowaga-Sloan, where the price of an elementary school lunch will increase 17 percent to $1.65 this year. “ So we had to come to a cost that wasn’t going to hurt our families but could still keep us afloat.” Increasing costs

Several factors affect the increased cafeteria expenses. Food prices are up. The healthier lunches that school districts now serve cost more, and the price of health insurance and other employee benefits continue to rise. All that has happened at a time when fewer students are buying lunch and enrollment in most schools has declined. In Frontier, for example, the district calculates it spent $5.48 for every school meal sold last school year. But it took in only $4.79 per meal – including lunch and snack sales, as well as state and federal reimbursements and the value of surplus food the government supplies. The increasing costs of milk and other foods have squeezed the Frontier lunch budget, but there’s another factor that has driven up expenses even more. | http://buffalonews.com/2014/08/30/school-lunch-prices-on-the-rise/ |

Employee benefits last year increased 28 percent in the district’s food service budget. “Labor costs are going up,” said Frontier Food Service Director Susan Birmingham. “ Certainly, the cost of state retirement in New York State and health insurance is really astronomical.” A proposed 50-cent increase to Frontier’s school lunch prices for the new school year is on hold as Birmingham and administrators explore other options, said Boyle, the district School Board president. Food service directors across the region say they are taking steps to save money as they expand healthy food options. | http://buffalonews.com/2014/08/30/school-lunch-prices-on-the-rise/ |

Food service directors across the region say they are taking steps to save money as they expand healthy food options. Local school districts are bidding together on everything from whole wheat crackers to pizza in an attempt to use their combined spending power to drive prices lower. Districts also have trimmed employee hours and started ordering directly from area farmers. In Williamsville Central Schools, the district has a large warehouse where it stores deliveries of fresh apples and other local produce, as well as products delivered directly from manufacturers. “That does save us a good amount of money,” said Kathryn Christopher, Williamsville’s director of childhood nutrition.

Content: Take, for example, Lake Shore Central School District. Elementary students in Lake Shore will pay $1.15 for lunch this year – less than any other district in Erie or Niagara county. Adults who buy the same lunch pay $3.36. “That is really closer in line with the true meal cost,” said Daniel Pacos, assistant superintendent of schools for administration and finance. The federal government also pays more. Its reimbursement for lunches provided to low-income students for free and reduced prices is higher than what districts charge students – a gap federal lawmakers have tried to close by mandating that school districts gradually increase prices. “We’re subsidizing, in a sense, those paying children with the monies that we’re getting from the federal government for our free children,” said Barbara Goodman, director of food services for Akron Central Schools, where an elementary school lunch costs a child $1.80. The federal government pays $3.04 for that same meal, Goodman said. For some districts, the federal requirement to increase prices has helped balance lunch budgets. “It’s keeping us in the black, at this point,” said Paul Blowers, business manager for East Aurora Union Free School District, where the cost of an elementary school lunch will increase by a dime to $1.70 because of the federal rules. | http://buffalonews.com/2014/08/30/school-lunch-prices-on-the-rise/ |

Foot Neuroma Surgery (Morton’s Neuroma)
What Is A Neuroma? A Mortons’ Neuroma is a very common condition affecting the nerves of the ball of the foot. The nerves in this area (between the toes) become painful and inflamed. What Are The Symptoms Of Neuroma
Patients with neuroma may develop pain on the bottom of the forefoot, most commonly under the 3rd and 4th toes, though any toe may be affected. The pain may be dull and mild or severe and sharp. The toes may feel ‘numb’ as times, especially the area between the 3rd and 4th toes. A classic complaint is that patients feel as if they are “walking on a stone or pebble” and/or “feel as if the sock is rolled up in the shoe.” Pain is often worse when walking barefoot. Causes of Neuroma
There are many reasons to develop a neuroma. Improper shoe gear is probably the most likely cause. | http://bunionsurgeryny.com/procedures/foot-neuroma-surgery-mortons-neuroma/ |

There are many reasons to develop a neuroma. Improper shoe gear is probably the most likely cause. Repetitive activity and excessive pressure on the ball of the foot are common. Heredity and genetic factors may also be involved. In many cases the structure of the foot may predispose the condition. Associated conditions that may cause neuroma include: bunion, hammer toes, ligament laxity, and/or a tight calf muscle. | http://bunionsurgeryny.com/procedures/foot-neuroma-surgery-mortons-neuroma/ |

Content: Some patients may have thinning of the fat pad on the ball of the foot, which may result in increased pressure of the nerves. Tight pointy shoes (and high heels) without padding may induce pain in the ball of the foot. Neuroma may occur suddenly, or develop over time. When to Seek Treatment
Common reasons patients seek treatment are: ball of the foot becomes painful, interferes with walking or activities, experiences difficulty fitting shoes, swelling, calluses/corns and/or notice a change in appearance of the foot and/or toe (s). Treatment
Depending on your overall health, symptoms and severity of the neuroma, the condition may be treated conservatively and/or with surgery. Non-operative Treatments For Neuroma
Non-surgical methods for neuroma are aimed at decreasing and/or eliminating symptoms (pain). Simple Treatments Patients Can Do: ● Wear proper supportive shoes
● Use an arch support
● Wear shoes with a wide toe box
● Modify your activities
● Lose weight
● Wear shoes with cushion
Non-surgical treatments Dr. Blitz can add: ● Prescribe an oral anti-inflammatory medication
Anti-inflammatory medication is useful to significantly reduce pain and inflammation. | http://bunionsurgeryny.com/procedures/foot-neuroma-surgery-mortons-neuroma/ |

Content: ● Give cortisone injection
A cortisone injection is a powerful anti-inflammatory medication that is used to rapidly reduce the pain associated with an inflamed nerve. The pain relief that you may experience from the injection (s) is often temporary. Typically injection (s) are administered once every 2 months for a total of 3 injections or until the pain is resolved. ● Give sclerosing alcohol injection
A sclerosing alcohol injection is placed around the involved nerve to weaken its capacity to report pain. In other words, the alcohol injection will ‘deaden’ the affected nerve. The pain relief that you may experience from the injection (s) can be permanent. Typically injection (s) are administered once every week for a few weeks until the pain is resolved. Morton’s Neuroma Surgery
Surgery for neuroma most often involves removing affected nerve in the ball of the foot. An incision is made on the top of the foot and the nerve is carefully removed. Surgeon must remove the nerve far enough back so that the nerve doesn’t continue to become impinged at the ball of the foot. | http://bunionsurgeryny.com/procedures/foot-neuroma-surgery-mortons-neuroma/ |

Does immigration reduce wages for native-born Americans?
Is immigration a drain on the welfare state?
Does immigration help the economy grow?
Whom does immigration hurt then?
Content: How can it be that more workers competing over the same jobs can lead to higher wages? The reason is that it’s not actually more workers competing over the same jobs. Immigration actually changes what jobs employers need to fill. For one, an influx of cheap labor can make certain businesses like farming or restaurants feasible. ( Absent cheap labor, these firms simply could not compete with foreign rivals.) Second, immigrants not only supply labor, but demand it, too. And a larger domestic population through immigration creates more potential customers for business, as well. Is immigration a drain on the welfare state? Another popular argument for maintaining tough restrictions on immigration is that without strict laws limiting immigration, unskilled workers would flock to America to take advantage of its relatively robust welfare state. The economic literature in this area yields conflicting conclusions and varies greatly depending on the country being studied. | http://business.time.com/2013/01/30/the-economics-of-immigration-who-wins-who-loses-and-why/ |

The company has generated $422 million in revenue so far in 2013, and is expected to generate almost $1 billion in revenue next year. Profits: Twitter has none. The company posted a net loss of $134 million in the first nine months of 2013. Analysts don’t anticipate profits from Twitter until 2015, according to Bloomberg. This makes the company’s IPO markedly different from those of Google and Facebook, two companies that were already profitable when they went public. Mobile: Twitter has already become adept at monetizing mobile users, with 70 percent of their advertising revenue in the last quarter coming from mobile usage. This is a key metric that investors obsess over as more and more users surf the Web with mobile devices. | http://business.time.com/2013/11/07/live-updates-twitter-goes-public/ |

Content: The NWCCU establishes accreditation criteria and evaluation procedures for reviewing its member institutions. At publication time, the commission oversees regional accreditation for 162 institutions. If you earn a degree from an online school that is accredited by one of these associations, that degree is as valid as a degree from any other accredited school. Most employers and other universities will automatically accept your degree. National Accreditation vs. Regional Accreditation
Alternatively, some online schools are accredited by the Distance Education Training Council. The DETC is also recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. DETC accreditation is considered valid by many employers. However, many regionally accredited schools do not accept course credits from DETC-accredited schools, and some employers may be leery of these degrees. Find Out If Your Online College Is Accredited
You can find out instantly if an online school is accredited by a regional accreditor, the DETC or another legitimate accreditor recognized by the U.S. Department of Education by searching the U.S. Department of Education database. You may use the CHEA website to search for both CHEA- and USDE-recognized accreditors or to view a chart comparing CHEA and USDE recognition ). | http://businessmajors.about.com/od/choosingaschool/p/accreditation.htm |

10 ways to nurture your child’s self-concept:
Content: Parents and caregivers create a positive emotional bond with an infant through warm and caring interactions. This positive emotional bond with parents and caregivers promotes a child’s healthy self-concept. As the child grows, her ability to interact successfully with her environment nurtures a healthy self-concept. This is critically important in early childhood. The development of a positive self-concept at an early age empowers the child to feel competent, try new things, and strive for success. As parents, we have the opportunity (and responsibility) to nurture a positive self-concept in our children. What can parents do to nurture a positive self-concept? 1. Be mindful of the language you use to describe your children. Do not label them with words such as ‘lazy’, ‘naughty’, ‘aggressive’ or ‘mean’. | http://calm4kids.org/10-ways-to-nurture-your-childs-self-concept/ |

Content: My 64 year old sister is living with a bucketful of health problems and expense brought on by decades of smoking and alcohol abuse – it’s not a pretty picture…I do not want to be her. naughty kittysays: March 12, 2013 at 10:39 am
It’s odd to say that it’s not possible for people to follow the diet when people have and do. However, given the name of this author’s e-book, is it surprising? Look at the average person, who eats loads of processed crap and does no exercise. Is it really true that it’s ‘not their fault’ then if they’re overweight? So what is the explanation – genes? Given that genetic shifts in a population take on the order of hundreds of generations, not two or three, how would the author explain the explosion in obesity since the 1980’s in this country? Maybe what we need, as a culture, is a little emphasis on personal responsibility. It may be comforting to think that obesity and heart disease are things which being inflicted upon us, but the truth is that we’re inflicting those conditions upon ourselves with our daily choices. | http://calorielab.com/news/2012/11/19/the-problem-with-the-dean-ornish-diet/ |

Content: What’s the difference in the IRS’s eyes? There is a difference between repairs and capital improvements as regards your tax filing. Consult your tax accountant for how this impacts you. This post is not advice, just a synopsis. According to Dermody, Burke & Brown, CPAs: “There has been much debate and controversy not to mention a number of court cases regarding whether, or to what extent, the amounts paid to restore or improve property are capital expenditures or deductible ordinary and necessary repair and maintenance expenses.” The IRS has now defined what is capital as opposed to what would be considered a repair and routine maintenance. Property capital improvements include: Fixing a defect or design flaw
Creating an addition, physical enlargement or expansion
Creating an increase in capacity, productivity or efficiency
Rebuilding property after the end of its useful economic life
Replacing a major component or structural part of the property
Adapting property to a new or different use
Under the IRS regulations, capital improvements can be applied to buildings themselves and individually to structural components. These include “heating and ventilation, plumbing, electrical, fire protection and security systems and escalators and elevators.” | http://camcontracting.com/capital-improvements-vs-repairs-whats-the-difference/ |

Under the IRS regulations, capital improvements can be applied to buildings themselves and individually to structural components. These include “heating and ventilation, plumbing, electrical, fire protection and security systems and escalators and elevators.” 1
IRS regulation indicates that “recurring activities (inspection, cleaning, testing, replacing parts, and so on) that are expected to be performed as a result of the use of property to keep the property in its ordinarily operating condition aren’t capital improvements. The activity is considered routine if, at the time the property was placed in service, the taxpayer reasonably expected to perform the activity more than once during the property’s life.” 1
Dermody, Burke & Brown, CPAs have provided this helpful chart. Capital
Repair
Improvements that “put” property into a better-operating condition
Improvements that “keep” property in efficient operating condition
Restores the property to a “like new” condition
Restores the property to its previous condition
Addition of new or replacement components or material sub-components to property
Protects the underlying property through routine maintenance
Addition of upgrades or modifications to property
Incidental Repair to property
Enhances the value of the property in the nature of a betterment
Extends the useful life of the property
Improves the efficiency of the property
Improves the quality of the property
Increases the strength of the property
Increases the capacity of the property
Ameliorates a material condition or defect
Adapts the property to a new use
Plan of Rehabilitation Doctrine
What goes into a Capital Improvement Plan? As mentioned above a CIP identifies capital projects and equipment purchases, provides a planning schedule, and identifies options for financing the plan. | http://camcontracting.com/capital-improvements-vs-repairs-whats-the-difference/ |

Content: Recently, even Republican political leaders have begun voicing their concern over the military involvement in Iraq. Currently, Democrats lack a cohesive and unitive stance on the war. While certain key Democrats like John Kerry propose a timetable for the removal of the troops, others support the president in the matter, most noteably Senator Joe Lieberman. Most, however, call for a plan that will see the gradual reduction of troops while preventing chaos that would ensue upon a hasty retreat of US troops. Democratic presidential hopefuls Russ Feingold and Hillary Clinton both fall somewhere in between Kerry and Lieberman, with Feingold leaning toward Kerry's plan of a planned removal of troops, but with a more flexible timetable, and Clinton seeking out a more moderate stance on the issue. The war in Iraq is arguably the most important issue to the Democrats in the upcoming mid-term elections, and will likely be just as important in two years in the 2008 presidential elections. Reproductive rights
The Democratic Party believes that all women should have access to birth control, and supports public funding of contraception for poor women. The Democratic Party, in its platform in 2000 and 2004, called for abortion to be "safe, legal and rare"—namely, keeping it legal by rejecting laws that allow governmental interference in abortion decisions, and reducing the number of abortions by promoting both knowledge of reproduction and contraception, and incentives for adoption. The Democratic Party opposes attempts to reverse the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade which recognized abortion as a right. As a matter of the right to privacy and of gender equality, many Democrats believe all women should have the ability to choose without governmental interference. | http://campaigns.wikia.com/wiki/United_States_Democratic_Party |

Many Democrats believe that poor women should have a right to publically funded abortions. Some Democrats explicitly oppose the legality of abortion on moral grounds, including former Pennsylvania Governor Robert P. Casey and Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley . A substantial number of party members have been shifting to the center on this issue. Some believe in programs to make abortions less frequent as well as making sure the procedure is legal and available. | http://campaigns.wikia.com/wiki/United_States_Democratic_Party |

A substantial number of party members have been shifting to the center on this issue. Some believe in programs to make abortions less frequent as well as making sure the procedure is legal and available. Senator Clinton of New York said in early 2005 that the opposing sides should find "common ground" to prevent unwanted pregnancies and ultimately reduce abortions, which she called a "sad, even tragic choice to many, many women." [ 1]
Crime and gun control
Democrats often focus on methods of crime prevention, believing that preventive measures save taxpayers' money in policing and medical costs, and prevent crime and murder. They emphasize improved community policing and more on-duty police officers in order to help accomplish this goal. The Party's platform in 2000 and 2004 cited crackdowns on gangs and drug trafficking as preventive methods. The party's platforms have also addressed the issue of domestic violence, calling for strict penalties for offenders and protection for victims. | http://campaigns.wikia.com/wiki/United_States_Democratic_Party |

Headings: Consequences of Poor Mental Health
Consequences of Poor Mental Health
Content: As a result, students with poor mental health may be sicker and use more health care services. Perhaps the most serious consequence of poor mental health is when a student goes as far as attempting or committing suicide. Suicide, which is considered to be the second-leading cause of death among young people, may be the tragic result or consequence of undetected or untreated mental health problems. Academic Impacts
Students report experiencing a host of academic difficulties as a result of having poor mental health. According to the 2005 National College Health Assessment (NCHA), conducted by the American College Health Association (ACHA), a considerable proportion of students said that mental health problems affected their individual academic performance, including receiving an incomplete, dropping a course, or receiving a lower grade in a class, on an exam, or an important project. In fact, four out of the five leading factors found to negatively affect students’ individual performance in the last year were related to mental health. These included stress (ranked first), sleep (third), concern for a troubled friend or family member (fourth), and depression, anxiety disorder, or seasonal affective disorder (fifth). These findings are not surprising in light of other data that illustrate how poor mental health negatively impacts academic success. For example, students with mental health problems like anxiety or depression tend to have lower grades and are more likely than their peers without these problems to drop-out of school prematurely. In fact, researchers estimate that approximately 5 percent of all college students, or more than 4.29 million people, never finished school because of a mental illness. | http://campushealthandsafety.org/mentalhealth/consequences/ |

In fact, researchers estimate that approximately 5 percent of all college students, or more than 4.29 million people, never finished school because of a mental illness. Some authors have suggested that attrition is more often caused by emotional rather than academic factors, which suggests that students who are emotionally healthy may be more capable of meeting the demands of college. Campus and Societal Impacts
The academic consequences of poor mental health go well beyond the individual student. Institutions of higher education can experience the impact of undetected or untreated mental health problems in terms of lost tuition, fees, or alumni donations. In more serious cases, such as when a student attempts or commits suicide, colleges and universities may face lawsuits and encounter negative publicity for years to come. The impact of poor mental health among college students can also have devastating consequences on future employers and society-at-large. | http://campushealthandsafety.org/mentalhealth/consequences/ |

The impact of poor mental health among college students can also have devastating consequences on future employers and society-at-large. Even if students with mental health problems are able to reach graduation, studies have shown that early work experiences can be stifled by having poor mental health and valuable work-related skills and proficiencies can be lost as a result. As future workers and leaders, students may be less productive and take more absences from work upon entering the workforce. Thus, the potential economic and societal burden of mental health problems can be enormous. | http://campushealthandsafety.org/mentalhealth/consequences/ |

What we offer for sale
We specialize in ivory material from the Canadian arctic, but will carry other related materials as they are available. Whether for the collector or for further manufacture, we offer narwhal tusk, walrus tusk, walrus oosik (walrus baculum or penis bone), walrus and polar bear skulls, sperm whale teeth, mammoth ivory, pre-ban elephant ivory, muskox horns and whale baleen. We offer ivory for the carver, knife maker, jeweler, scrimshander, furniture maker and wood worker in either a natural or polished finish. Then there are just as many who appreciate the tusk itself as a natural art form without any processing. Whatever the need, there is a wide selection of this material available. With its dense, closed cell structure, ivory is popular for its tonal qualities in the making of musical instruments. Ivory is better than more porous bone or man-made materials in that it is able to transmit clear sound in the instrument. Mammoth, pre-ban elephant or walrus ivories are sought after for this purpose. We guarantee these materials. If your order does not meet your expectations upon arrival, return it right away and we will refund the purchase price. | http://canadianivory.com/ |

Walrus Tusks - Odobenus rosmarus
Example of Walrus tusks: large outer pair - male tusks with natural finish, 1.8 kg (4 lbs) each, 58 cm (23"); Middle pair - male tusks polished 1.05 kg (2.3 lbs) each, 48 cm (18"); Inner pair - female tusks polished 0.50 kg (1.1 lbs), 38 cm (15")
Walrus tusks arise from two modified canine teeth. They tend to be oval in cross section. The composition in cross section consists of an outer cementum layer. Within that layer lies the dentine. The dentine of the walrus tusk in turn is divided into an outer primary dentine, which has a classical ivory appearance, and then within that layer a secondary dentine, which has an intriguing marbled appearance. It is the presence of this secondary dentine that is characteristic of walrus ivory and differentiates it from other animals. | http://canadianivory.com/ |

It is the presence of this secondary dentine that is characteristic of walrus ivory and differentiates it from other animals. The hardness between the 3 layers is quite consistent. At the base of the walrus tusks is the conical pulp cavity. The pulp cavity includes connective tissue and odontoblastic cells which are responsible for the formation of new walrus tusk material. The size and ultimate shape of the pulp cavity varies from animal to animal but is similar between the 2 walrus tusks of the same animal. Typically, the cavity is 2.5 - 4 cm (1 to 1.5") in depth, but can range from only 1 - 8 cm (0.5 to 3"). | http://canadianivory.com/ |

Fine longitudinal black cracks occur in the cementum of walrus tusks and on into the outermost portion of the primary dentine. These 'breathing cracks' are common on tusks, more on the outer rather than the inner side of the tusk and they occur only outside the gum line. The surfaces of the tusks aren't always absolutely flat. They can naturally grow in a convoluted shape with longitudinal dips and grooves which can enhance some applications. Tusks are formed on both the male and female walrus. | http://canadianivory.com/ |

Content: There is only a small porous core that leaves plenty of thickness for carving or shaping. Walrus Teeth
These walrus teeth are located behind the primary tusks (behind the canine teeth). Ranging in size from 2 to 5 cm (1 to 2 1/2 ") long they are used for micro-carving, small scrimshaw and jewelry. In wood working they are used sliced in inlay or in mask making. Narwhal Tusk - Monodon monoceros
The narwhal tusk (see picture of cross section) is formed from a modified left upper incisor tooth. The tusk is a beautiful spiral of varying tones of white. Narwhal tusks occur on males – rarely on females. Very rarely there are double tusks on one male. The narwhal tusk consists of an outer cementum layer and one inside dentine layer. Inside the dentine is a pulp cavity that extends down most of the length of the tusk, narrowing in diameter and finally disappearing towards the tip of the tusk. | http://canadianivory.com/ |

There is much speculation on the purpose of narwhal tusks in nature.

Content: Yeast Infection treatment, Candida
Welcome to CandidaMD, a professional website resource created by a physician for the purpose of educating the public about Candida overgrowth, which causes many common and serious medical conditions. CandidaMD also provides information on the most comprehensive and effective treatment for Candida. Recent research and clinical experience show clearly that Candida overgrowth is both very common in developed countries, and is the hidden culprit behind the majority of the cases of depression, insomnia, migraines and other headaches, chronic fatigue, anxiety, GERD (heartburn), diabetes and many other serious conditions. While the connection between Candida overgrowth and these common diseases is only beginning to be recognized by the medical profession, the explanation behind this connection is given on the following pages. Fortunately, those who meet the criteria for Candida infection find that the treatment program effectively gives long-term relief from the many related medical conditions caused by Candida. CandidaMD represents the work of John E. Humiston, M.D., a family practice physician who has worked since 2004 with over 1700 Candida patients. | http://candidamd.com/ |

Content: One of the beneficiaries of the law was California's colleges and universities, which saw a massive increase in students and the establishment of several new campuses around the state. The construction industry also saw a boom in building new communities to meet the needs of returning service members. Urban Growth Boom
California experienced unprecedented military, technological, and industrial growth before, during, and after the war, which in turn led to massive increases in migration, population, jobs, and the development of sprawling industrial, urban, and suburban areas. While jobs were plentiful in California cities during and after the war, housing was not. So great was the need for housing that military barracks, Quonset huts, trailers, and other quick-built facilities were used for housing. On the eve of the war, California's population had already doubled since the 1920s, to 3.4 million. By 1962, California had become the most populous state in the union and had grown to 19.95 million by 1970. Approximately six million housing units were constructed in California during the thirty year period following World War II, which was made possible by government regulations, increasing wealth, more job opportunities, and new, quick methods of construction. Along with the population growth came the need for more educational facilities, shopping areas, and means of transportation. Hundreds of miles of freeways and roads were constructed to accommodate the tremendous growth in housing and new types of postindustrial and technology based industries. | http://capitolmuseum.ca.gov/special/ww2/after-the-war |

Content: Depressed individuals who are at high risk of killing themselves may need to be in a hospital temporarily. While this may seem like a drastic measure, it can be life-saving, and it may allow the person to get the treatment and support that they need. Suicide
Suicide is the second leading cause of death in young people. A major cause of suicide is mental illness, very commonly depression. People feeling suicidal are overwhelmed by painful emotions and see death as the only way out, losing sight of the fact that suicide is a permanent "solution" to a temporary state—most people who try to kill themselves but live later say they are glad they didn't die. Most people who die by suicide could have been helped. An individual considering suicide frequently confides in a friend, who may be able to convince them to seek treatment. When the risk is high, concerned friends and relatives should seek professional guidance. Suicidal thoughts may be fleeting or more frequent, passive (e.g., "What if I were dead?") or active (e.g., thinking of ways to kill oneself, making a plan). | http://caps.ucsc.edu/resources/depression.html |

Content: Nonetheless, interactions between Westernized diet and lifestyle and genetic background may accelerate the growth of diabetes in the context of rapid nutrition transition. Epidemiologic studies and randomized clinical trials show that type 2 diabetes is largely preventable through diet and lifestyle modifications. Translating these findings into practice, however, requires fundamental changes in public policies, the food and built environments, and health systems. To curb the escalating diabetes epidemic, primary prevention through promotion of a healthy diet and lifestyle should be a global public policy priority. THE GLOBAL BURDEN OF TYPE 2 DIABETES
The dynamics of the diabetes epidemic are changing rapidly. Once a disease of the West, type 2 diabetes has now spread to every country in the world. Once “a disease of affluence,” it is now increasingly common among the poor. Once an adult-onset disease almost unheard of in children, rising rates of childhood obesity have rendered it more common in the pediatric population, especially in certain ethnic groups. According to the International Diabetes Federation ( 1 ), diabetes affects at least 285 million people worldwide, and that number is expected to reach 438 million by the year 2030, with two-thirds of all diabetes cases occurring in low- to middle-income countries. The number of adults with impaired glucose tolerance will rise from 344 million in 2010 to an estimated 472 million by 2030. | http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/34/6/1249 |

The number of adults with impaired glucose tolerance will rise from 344 million in 2010 to an estimated 472 million by 2030. Globally, it was estimated that diabetes accounted for 12% of health expenditures in 2010, or at least $376 billion—a figure expected to hit $490 billion in 2030 ( 2 ). Its increasing prevalence and associated health complications threaten to reverse economic gains in developing countries. With limited infrastructures for diabetes care, many countries are ill-equipped to manage this epidemic. EPICENTERS OF DIABETES

Obesity and fat distribution
Overweight and obesity are driving the global diabetes epidemic. They affect the majority of adults in most developed countries and are increasing rapidly in developing countries. If current worldwide trends continue, the number of overweight people (BMI ≥25 kg/m 2) is projected to increase from 1.3 billion in 2005 to nearly 2.0 billion by 2030 ( 6 ). Compared with Western populations, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Asia is relatively low, but it is increasing precipitously in parallel with economic development and rapid urbanization. In the past several decades, China's gross domestic product per capita has grown at an average annual rate of nearly 10% ( 7 ). Meanwhile, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Chinese adults increased from 20% in 1992 to 29.9% in 2002 ( 8 ). In Asia, obesity rates do not directly correspond with diabetes rates. | http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/34/6/1249 |

Procedural Justice
Researchers from a variety of disciplines within psychology have come to the conclusion that people care a great deal about fairness. One stream of this research, organizational justice, focuses on issues of justice in the workplace. Whereas most justice researchers agree that organizational justice is a multidimensional construct, this entry focuses on one particularly important dimension of justice called procedural justice. Procedural Justice Definition
Procedural justice is generally defined as the perceived fairness of the procedures used to make decisions. In organizations, these decisions often involve allocating resources such as promotions or raises. While people are certainly concerned with the fairness and favorability of their outcomes, the procedures used to arrive at these decisions can also influence peoples’ reactions. An Overview of Procedural Justice
John Thibaut and Laurens Walker first demonstrated the importance that people place on procedural justice. These researchers examined process control, which refers to the opportunity to voice one’s opinion, and decision control, or the ability to influence the outcome via one’s voice, in the context of legal negotiations. They found that people were willing to give up decision control as long as they were still allowed to voice their opinions about the process used to negotiate a decision. The process control idea has been extended into organizational settings, where employees see procedures as fair when the procedures are correctable, ethical, unbiased, based on accurate information, used consistently, and consider stakeholders’ opinions. | http://career.iresearchnet.com/career-development/procedural-justice/ |

Psychological Responses To Loss
Advance Directives
Caregivers Handbook
Content: Accepting the individual as an “OK” person and being there when needed, is true friendship. Loneliness and depression are considered the most painful processes. When a loved one is removed from their lives, people often are overcome by feelings of utter depression and isolation. Gradually the finality of the loss sinks in—an empty chair near the TV, an unused pillow, a family photo, a missing phone call. Sadness and depression follow and self-pity is frequent. Problems which are manageable when shared with a partner become magnified when faced alone. Sometimes an individual may search for a quick replacement. However, healing and recovery are more likely achieved if the bereaved person completes the grieving process before seeking a new partner or making any new lasting commitments. Delaying major decisions allows people to see new perspectives, to make decisions more easily lived with during the years ahead.

Content: This can happen in stores or restaurants when the card is out of the owner's view, and frequently the credit card information is then sold online through a criminal community. Some identity thieves target organizations that store people's personal information, like schools or credit card companies. But most cyber criminals will target home computers rather than trying to break into a big institution's network because it's much easier. By taking measures to secure your own computer and protect your personal information, you are not only preventing cyber criminals from stealing your identity, but also protecting others by preventing your computer from becoming part of a botnet. Social Engineering
Social engineering is a tactic used by cyber criminals that uses lies and manipulation to trick people into revealing their personal information. Social engineering attacks frequently involve very convincing fake stories to lure victims into their trap. Common social engineering attacks include: Sending victims an email that claims there's a problem with their account and has a link to a fake website. Entering their account information into the site sends it straight to the cyber criminal ( phishing)
Trying to convince victims to open email attachments that contain malware by claiming it is something they might enjoy (like a game) or need (like anti-malware software)
Pretending to be a network or account administrator and asking for the victim's password to perform maintenance
Claiming that the victim has won a prize but must give their credit card information in order to receive it
Asking for a victim's password for an Internet service and then using the same password to access other accounts and services since many people re-use the same password
Promising the victim they will receive millions of dollars, if they will help out the sender by giving them money or their bank account information
Like other hacking techniques, social engineering is illegal in the United States and other countries. To protect yourself from social engineering, don't trust any emails or messages you receive that request any sort of personal information. | http://carnegiecyberacademy.com/facultyPages/cyberCriminals/operate.html |

How Technology can Help the Environment
Content: Even some renewable resources, like trees and water, are becoming contaminated or are used up faster than they can renew themselves because of technology. Waste - Manufacturing technology creates large amounts of waste, and used computers and electronics get thrown out when they break or become outdated. Called " technotrash ," these electronics contain all sorts of hazardous materials that are very unsafe for the environment. They need to be disposed of using special methods. Disrupting ecology - Clearing land where animals used to live to build factories and allowing pollution to contaminate the food chain can greatly affect the environment's natural cycles. Health hazards - Using toxic materials that can harm our health can cause cancer, and technology addiction can lead to other health problems like obesity and carpal tunnel syndrome. You can encourage manufacturers by choosing to buy more energy-efficient and less hazardous electronics and by supporting companies that make protecting the environment a priority. You can also do your own part to reduce environmental impact by not being wasteful and disposing of your electronics safely and properly. Carbon Emissions
Carbon emissions, mostly carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, are greenhouse gasses that are produced by people. Greenhouse gasses are gasses in the atmosphere that trap and reflect heat and radiation back to the planet's surface. | http://carnegiecyberacademy.com/facultyPages/environment/issues.html |

Can we say “Neanderthal?” First, it should be brought to that commentator’s attention rape is not a crime driven by lust or horniness. It is not provoked by short skirts or stiletto heels. It is a violent transgression that is initiated from an obsession with power and control. It is brutal, and there is nothing at all sexy about rape.
