2008 PARALYMPIC GAMES: Popovich Sets Paralympic Record in 50m Freestyle (S7)
Sept. 14, 2008
BEIJING, China - On day eight of swimming competition at the National Aquatics Center, U.S. Women's Swimming Team co-captain Erin Popovich (Fort Collins, Colo./Silverbow, Mont.) set a Paralympic Record (34.22 ) in the women's 50m freestyle (S7) prelims. Popovich, who has won four gold medals and one silver so far at the meet, is looking to "go out with a bang" on her last race of the Beijing Paralympic Games.
"I want it really bad," said Popovich. "I want to show that I can hold it in the prelims and then do just as great tonight. The 50 [meter] is tricky. In the 400 [meter races], you can play with it and see where to make your move. In this one, you have to go all out."
U.S. teammate Cortney Jordan (Henderson, Nev.) will also be vying for a medal in the 50m freestyle (S7.) Going into finals, she is seeded fourth with a time of 35.57.
"That was a best time for me and I feel really strong," said Jordan. "Tonight's going to be a great race. I feel really prepared. The other races [in Beijing] have given me a lot of experience and I'm ready to go out and get another medal."
In addition to Jordan, five more U.S. swimmers are seeded third or fourth heading into Sunday finals: Miranda Uhl (Alachua, Fla.), Kelley Becherer (Sheboygan, Wis.), Lantz Lamback (Colorado Springs, Colo./Augusta, Ga.), Justin Zook (Plymouth, Minn.) and Susan Beth Scott (Colorado Springs, Colo./Cape Girardeau, Mo.)

In the Catbird Seat/Joe Kirkish
Youth and old age – life's Alpha and Omega. It begins with a "tabula rasa" (blank slate) on which you write just as much as you like for the better part of a century; then with a nearly full slate you begin sharing with others providing others are willing to listen.
A first grade school teacher wanted to know what her youngsters in their formative years had collected, so she gathered some well known proverbs and gave to each child the first half of a proverb, asking the youngster to come up with the remainder of the proverb. The following are what the kids wrote, their slates already starting to fill up:
Better to be safe than punch a fifth grader.
Strike while the bug is close.
It's always darkest before daylight savings time.
Never underestimate the power of termites.
You can lead a horse to water but how?
Don't bite the hand that looks dirty.
No news is impossible.
A miss is as good as a mister.
You can't teach an old dog new math.
If you lie down with dogs, you'll stink in the morning.
Love all and trust me.
The pen is mightier than the pigs.
An idle mind is – the best way to relax.
Where there's smoke there's pollution.
Happy the bride who gets all the presents.
A penny saved is not much.
Two's company, three's the Musketeers.
Children should be seen and not spanked or grounded.
If at first you don't succeed get new batteries.
When the blind leadeth the blind -get out of the way.
On the other hand, nearer the Omega side of his slate is Will Rogers, who grew up to become one of the greatest observers of American life. While performing onstage with his fancy rope tricks, he would toss his aphorisms out to his delighted audiences. Here are a few:
There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.
Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
Never miss a good chance to shut up.
Always drink upstream from the herd.
If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket.
There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading; a few who learn by observation; the rest have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.
Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.
If you're riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.
Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.
Eventually in life you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Some people try to turn back their life odometers. Not me. I like to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
You know you're getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
Big mystery: I wonder how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.
Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
If you really want to annoy your neighbors, tell the truth about them.
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft; today it's called golf.
If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.
Rotten Tomatoes averages: "Oblivion," B-

AUSTIN, Texas - Gov. Rick Perry today honored Texas athletes and coaches who participated in the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games with proclamations recognizing their accomplishments at a reception and photo opportunity at the State Capitol.
"This year's Paralympic Games engaged and inspired the world and reminded us of the resilience of the human spirit and the pride of accomplishment," Gov. Perry said. "I'm proud of these Texans for representing the Lone Star State in Beijing and continuing the time honored tradition of sportsmanship and unity at the Paralympic Games."
The governor noted that Texas Paralympians are role models for all Texans, motivating others to live healthier lifestyles. For young Texans in particular, these athletes are an example of how discipline, strong character and dedication lead to success.
An avid runner, Gov. Perry has made fitness and healthy lifestyle choices an important part of his healthcare initiatives. Too many Texans face serious health problems as a result of poor nutrition and lack of exercise. Complications from being obese cost the state billions of dollars each year from lost productivity and increased burden on the healthcare system.
Recently, the governor participated in the Capitol Steps Challenge, a two week competition in which he challenged governors from the 49 other states and their teams to participate by wearing pedometers to clock their daily activity. The winning state team will be declared the Most Active Governor's Team in the nation at the Capitol Steps Challenge Awards event Feb. 21, 2009, in Washington D.C. They will also be presented with a $50,000 donation to their state's childhood obesity program by Sir Richard Branson and Virgin HealthMiles.
In 2004, Gov. Rick Perry launched the Texas Round-Up statewide fitness initiative and 10K race to motivate and encourage Texans to become more active and to incorporate healthy choices in their daily lives. Today, Texas Round-Up is an independent not-for-profit organization working to improve the health of Texas through education and promotion of physical activity and healthy living. Texas Round-Up provides Texans with tools, opportunities, and programs that encourage and allow for Texans of all ages and fitness levels to participate.

Monogamous pair-bond formations between male and female individuals of Amphiprion percula are very strong and correlated with the small territory size that this species occupies. Despite being restricted to the immediate vicinity of its host anemone, Amphiprion percula can breed/spawn year round due to the perpetually warm tropical waters they inhabit.
Initiation of courtship is highly correlated with the lunar cycle. The moonlight serves to maintain a high level of alertness in the male, which then leads to increased social interaction with the female. Several days before spawning, the male will show morphological and behavioral changes: fin erection, chasing, nest preparation, and "signal jumping." This last trait is depicted with rapid up and down swimming motions. Finally, extensions of anal, dorsal, and pelvic fins accompany the aggressiveness of the male (Fautin and Allen, 1992)
The choice of nest site is important for later survival of the eggs. It is usually located under the tentacles of the host anemone and securely positioned on a patch of cleared rock (Myers, 1999). The male has been known to nip at the bottom edges of the tentacles in order to cause retraction, and thus providing enough clearance to clean the area (Rosenberg and Cruz, 1988). Initially, the male clears algae and debris with its mouth only later to be joined by its mate (Fautin and Allen, 1992). There is clear emphasis, then, on male parental care, and this will be crucial when the eggs become vulnerable to predation.
Actual spawning procession takes place during the morning hours, and generally lasts about 30 minutes to more than two hours. At this stage, the conical ovipositor of the female becomes visible. Several eggs are extruded through this structure with each slow and deliberate pass as the belly gently brushes the nest surface. Following closely behind is her mate, who externally fertilizes the eggs as they are laid. The number of total passes during each spawning session is high, and the amount of deposited eggs range from 100 to over 1000, depending on fish size and previous experience. Older, more experienced mating pairs will produce more eggs. The eggs of Amphiprion percula are about 3-4 mm in length (Fautin and Allen, 1992).
After egg deposition has finished, the incubation period begins. At this time, the male actively mouths and fans the eggs, while simultaneously being on guard against any predators (Rosenberg and Cruz, 1988). Because the eggs are attached to the bottom substrate via adhesive strands, additional protection is provide by the overhanging tentacles of the host anemone (Allen, 1997). Removal of dead eggs and debris is also important in keeping a well-oxygenated nest and is accomplished by the male. The female, in contrast, is occupied with feeding during this time (Fautin and Allen, 1992). (Allen, 1997; Fautin and Allen, 1992; Myers, 1999; Rosenberg and Cruz, 1988)

In the case of the California canned San Marzano tomatoes, from SiLtd (Simpson Imports), the label on the can clearly states that the tomatoes are grown in the U.S.
But it says "San Marzano" all over the can. And most people probably don't know "Grown domestically in the U.S.A." also means "not San Marzano."
Most people don't have the slightest idea what San Marzano means period.
But it says "San Marzano" all over the can. And most people probably don't know "Grown domestically in the U.S.A." also means "not San Marzano."I remember the first time I saw those cans. I didn't know if they were San Marzanos or not. In fact, I wasn't sure for a long time, even though I had already done a good bit of research on the subject.If I wasn't a pizza nut, I would never notice the part of the label that says "Grown domestically in the U.S.A." All I would see is the four large tomatoes that say "San Marzano" in large print. And I think most of the people who buy those cans buy them because they think the can has San Marzano tomatoes in it.
I think enough people do have the slightest idea what "San Marzano" is supposed to mean, which is why these cans bother me.
I don't know if Cento DOP San Marzanos are really San Marzanos, even though they have all the proper labeling. But what I do know is that they always taste amazing. I've gone through two cans of Stanislaus Saporito Filetto di Pomodoro in the last month, and they're not as good as Cento DOPs. But I didn't expect them to be as good, and they're not labeled in a way that would make me expect them to be as good as San Marzanos.
You're not telling people that 40% hydration is OK for Neapolitan pizza dough, are you? Why not? My guess is because 40% is not OK for Neapolitan. I'm guessing you don't tell them that because if you tell them 40% is OK, you know you won't be helping them in any way.I'm sure you're gonna tell me my analogy is apples and oranges, so go ahead. But explain why this time.
I believe the reason why no such suit has been initiated (as far as I know) after all these years is because San Marzano is a varietal. In addition, Simpson Limited has clearly stated that their tomatoes are grown in the U.S. That takes us back to buyer beware. Peter
Georgia Vidalia onions couldn't be grown in other areas due to the composition of the Georgia soil. No where else could produce an onion as sweet. I forget what it was in the soil, but whenever people tried to transplant them out of state, they didn't get the same onion. I don't know whether that might hold true with tomatoes, but I do believe in terroir making a difference in flavors personally. Well, certain things, with cheese and sourdough starters for example.
Cory, Don't know if you knew this but there are other places that have sweet onions too that are indigenous to their area.Texas has their 1015 Super Sweet(planted on Oct.15) and Washington has what's called Walla Walla's. I think Hawaii has a particular sweet onion too.
I'm sorry Craig.....we prolly posted at the same time, yeah riiiight! OK, now this has turned informative. Would you mind telling me the correct word to be used instead of indigenous."The Walla Walla sweet onion is named for Walla Walla county in Washington where it is grown.[1] Its development began around 1900 when Peter Pieri, a French soldier who settled in the area, brought a sweet onion seed from the island of Corsica with him to the Walla Walla Valley.[2] This sweet onion was developed by selecting and reseeding onions from each year's crop that possessed sweetness, jumbo size, and round shape."So, this onion is indigenous to Corsica..correct? Now, what is it's relationship(correct word) to Walla Walla county? Thanks.
Our garden must have low sulfur soil or something, because ours are as sweet as any Vidalia I've bought at Whole Foods. Guess I need to find a way to get our soil tested for the sulfur content.
I gotta stir the pot on this one. I learned this on here but I would never be able to find the thread. With the centos, you have to look at the barcode. The barcode will tell you where in Italy the tomatoes were grown. If you see ROA on the barcode than that means that the tomatoes were grown in san marzano italy. The irony to all of this is that the cento san marzano tomatoes are not grown in san marzano italy because they do not have the ROA. However, the cento pomodoros are grown in san marzano italy but of course are not san marzano tomatoes. I prefer the ROA poms myself.
You want the Cento's that say ROA1 PELATI on the bottom of the can. All 6 cans of the 35oz Cento Italian tomatoes I have in my pantry have this printed on the bottom.
In NC you pay more for the 28oz certified's(can't get the 35's) than Craig pays for his 35oz DOP cans. Going to have a talk with my grocery man...
I loked at a couple different stores today and all of the Cento Italian (35oz), DOP, and Organic all had ROA1 PELATI on the bottom of the can. The one can of Certified I found did not.
Its the centos puzzle. Its pretty confusing. All people need to know tho is that if its got ROA on the barcode than it was in fact grown in san marzano italy. If it doesn't have ROA, than it was grown somewhere else in italy.

Google Business Apps: Modern, Cool and Not for Everyone
For years Google has touted its Google Apps/Gmail ecosystem as a worthy replacement for Microsoft/Exchange. Now, with Chromebooks and moves toward offline access, it's driving the point home. And of course, Android is a done deal. However, the cloudified nature of Google's products is both a blessing (mobility) and a curse (security), and Google's data privacy policies give many IT pros pause.
Among the 289 respondents to our InformationWeek Google in the Enterprise Survey at organizations with 50 or more employees, 20% use Google Apps/Gmail. Other data points:
>> 76% expect to get some percentage of their business applications from Google within two years.
>> 55% see Google's tendency to "fail fast," quickly shutting down projects that don't perform as desired, as a major concern (38%) or deal breaker (17%) when considering it as a business applications provider.
>> 46% say some percentage of their workforces could conceivably move to Chromebooks.
>> 32% cite end user demand as a top driver for supporting Google products, the No. 1 answer.
In this report we:
>> Analyze how respondents perceive using Google products for business - including Google Apps, Gmail, Chrome and Android
>> Advise IT pros on evaluating the suitability of Google products in their shops
>> Present two full data sets: with only larger companies and with 80 respondents from companies with fewer than 50 employees included.
Respondent breakdown: 34% hail from organizations with 5,000 or more employees; 25% have 10,000 or more. Education, financial services and government are well-represented, and 43% are IT director/manager or IT executive management (C-level/VP) level. (R7401013)
Survey Name InformationWeek Google in the Enterprise Survey
Survey Date September 2013
Region North America
Number of Respondents 368; 289 at organizations with 50 or more employees and 80 with fewer than 50 employees
Purpose To gauge Google Apps/Gmail adoption in the enterprise
Methodology InformationWeek surveyed 368 business technology decision-makers at North American organizations. The survey was conducted online, and respondents were recruited via an email invitation containing an embedded link to the survey. The email invitation was sent to qualified InformationWeek subscribers.

12 things Giambattista Valli can't live without
Peek Inside Mindy Kaling's LA Home
12 things Giambattista Valli can't live withoutMore
His stylish acolytes are known as "Valli Girls"—but, like, think chic to the max, not tubular or gnarly. Ever since Roman designer Giambattista Valli founded his Paris fashion house in 2005 (after seven years at Ungaro), he has attracted a fan base that ranges from Hollywood ingenues to models and socialites of all ages. A fan of architecture and design, Valli based his fall haute couture collection on floral patterns inspired by classic European porcelain.

Nvidia Corp. on Wednesday said it had enabled support of physics effects processing using PhysX application programming interface (API) on its GeForce graphics processing units. The support of PhysX sounds promising and will add a selling point to Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs), however, right now end-users will have very few benefits of the PhysX feature.
Starting today, any owner of a GeForce 8-, 9 or GTX 200-series graphics card can download special ForceWare 177.83 drivers along with certain demos, games and mods from Nvidia's web-site and enjoy improved quality of physics effects created using PhysX engine developed by Ageia and which is now used in many different scenarios.
"Seeing really is believing and is the reason why we compiled all of this great PhysX content into a free download for our end users. We want GeForce owners to experience for themselves these amazing effects to get an idea how PhysX will make games much more lifelike in the years to come. Physics-accelerated content is already here, and there are a ton more titles on the way. We can't wait for our customers to jump in, get wet, and tell us what they think!" said Ujesh Desai, general manager for GeForce GPUs at Nvidia.
But while Nvidia seems to be confident that all the DirectX 10-compatible GeForce owners will take advantage of PhysX technology, there are practically no games that take massive advantage of PhysX. In fact, the vast majority of titles benefit very slightly from PhysX engine.
Nevertheless, end-users are likely to benefit from PhysX support going forward, provided that Nvidia works hard to persuade game developers to take advantage of GPU-accelerated physics processing. Actually, adding more objects into a scene of a game not only means necessity for more raw computing horsepower, but also for more graphics processing power. Therefore, the actual benefit of GPU-accelerated PhysX may not be obvious on certain types of hardware.

Vinyl May Be Dead But The Records Live On
Contributing Monkie Jennifer Buonantony
Topics of Interest clothing accessories, Fashion, re-used, recycled products, vinyl
Published on February 11, 2009
Section G Living, Style / Fashion / Beauty
What happens if you're an avid record collector and your daughter cracks your favorite Fleetwood Mac vinyl? If you're Meg Musick Makely — and your maiden name literally indicates that music is part of your life — you preserve the memories attached to that record by turning it into a fashion accessory. Meg made her first bracelet out of vinyl that day in her Chicago-based home. With the encouragement of her friends, she set up a modest stand at Chicago's annual Wicker Park Festival that draws nearly 15,000 music lovers. They come to watch "up and coming" bands, purchase eclectic arts and crafts, and sample local foods. From there, she was featured in several magazines and it wasn't long this former ballet teacher and jewelry sales rep had turned a broken record into a career.
In creating her pieces, Meg mastered a technique of using heat to shape the vinyl into its desired look. In making her bracelets, she uses a special cutting tool to slice the cross-section of the heated album where the band's label appears. She cuts out the desired width for the size of the bracelet and then molds the strip into its shape.

Meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine (Subcutaneous route)
me-NINJ-oh-kok-kal pol-ee-SAK-a-ride VAX-een
Brand Names:
- Menomune-A/C/Y/W-135
Dosage Forms:
- Powder for Solution
- Injectable
Uses of This Medicine:
Meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine is an active immunizing agent used to prevent infection by certain groups of meningococcal bacteria. The vaccine works by causing your body to produce its own protection (antibodies) against the disease.
The following information applies only to the meningococcal vaccine used for meningococcal bacteria Groups A, C, Y, and W-135. These groups cause approximately 50% of meningococcal meningitis cases in the U.S. The vaccine will not protect against infection caused by other meningococcal bacteria groups, such as Group B.
Meningococcal infection can cause life-threatening illnesses, such as meningococcal meningitis, which affects the brain, and meningococcemia, which affects the blood. Some persons with meningococcal meningitis and/or meningococcemia also may die. These diseases are more likely to occur in young children and in persons with certain diseases or conditions that make them more susceptible to a meningococcal infection or more likely to develop serious problems from a meningococcal infection.
Immunization against meningococcal disease is recommended for persons 2 years of age or older who are at risk of getting the disease because:
- they have certain diseases or conditions that make them more susceptible to a meningococcal infection or more likely to develop serious problems from a meningococcal infection.
- they are living in, working in, or visiting an area where there is a strong possibility of contracting meningococcal disease.
Usually a person needs to receive meningococcal vaccine only once. However, additional injections may be needed for young children who remain at high risk for meningococcal disease.
Meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine is to be administered only by or under the supervision of your doctor or other health care professional.
Before Using This Medicine:
In deciding to use a vaccine, the risks of taking the vaccine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this vaccine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
In general the use of meningococcal vaccine is restricted to persons 2 years of age and older; however, in some cases children as young as 3 months of age may be vaccinated. This vaccine has been tested in older children and, in effective doses, has not been shown to cause different side effects or problems than it does in adults.
Older adults—
Many medicines have not been studied specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be known whether they work exactly the same way they do in younger adults. Although there is no specific information comparing use of this vaccine in the elderly with use in other age groups, this vaccine is not expected to cause different side effects or problems in older people than it does in younger adults.
|Pregnancy Category
|All Trimesters
|Animal studies have shown an adverse effect and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women OR no animal studies have been conducted and there are no adequate studies in pregnant women.
Studies in women suggest that this medication poses minimal risk to the infant when used during breastfeeding.
Other medicines—
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are receiving this vaccine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Receiving this vaccine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
- Measles Virus Vaccine, Live
Other interactions—
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
Other medical problems—
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this vaccine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
- Severe illness with fever—The symptoms of the condition may be confused with the possible side effects of the vaccine
Proper Use of This Medicine:
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
- For injection dosage form:
- For prevention of meningococcal meningitis:
- Adults and children—One dose injected under the skin.
- For prevention of meningococcal meningitis:
Side Effects of This Medicine:
- Symptoms of allergic reaction
- Difficulty in breathing or swallowing
- hives
- itching, especially of feet or hands
- reddening of skin, especially around ears
- swelling of eyes, face, or inside of nose
- unusual tiredness or weakness (sudden and severe)
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
- More common
- Redness at place of injection—may last 1 or 2 days

- Less common
- Chills
- fever over 100 °F (37.8 °C)

Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Build a Plane builds two planes, Day 1Monday, June 17th, 2013
If you're in aviation, you've probably heard that phrase before—particularly if you did an accelerated rating or a type rating. Today I heard that phrase applied to the process of building an airplane.
"Building an airplane" and "drinking from the firehose" are generally not concepts that you hear in the same conversation, but when you consider that we're talking about assembling an Experimental kit in two weeks, it all makes sense.
The kids who took their first deep drink from the firehose today are eight teenagers from high schools in Michigan and Minnesota. They are the winners of an aviation design contest sponsored by Build a Plane and the General Aviation Manufacturers Association. School's out, and they're here in Arlington, Wash., to spend some quality time with fiberglas, rivets, and bucking bars.
The day began at 7 a.m. with a briefing at Glasair's Customer Assembly Center at Arlington Airport. (We should all have hangars this immaculate and organized. Talk about a place for everything and everything in its place!) By the first morning break, the students had begun mounting rudders and installing rudder cables, and mounting the main landing gear and tires. In another corner, fuel lines were being threaded along a wing.
Glasair's Two Weeks to Taxi program has several years under its belt, and the level of preparation that goes into it is evident. To the casual observer, today looked a little like "organized chaos," as one observer put it—but it was also apparent that a lot of progress was made. That's good, because the plan is to get the first of the two airplanes ready to taxi on Wednesday, June 26, and an FAA inspection on Saturday, June 29.
Will they make it? Stay tuned as I post updates from Arlington and the progress of the Build a Plane/GAMA projects.

People with chronic lung disease often benefit from participation in a specialized outpatient exercise and education program known as pulmonary rehabilitation. The Pulmonary Rehabilitation program provides a thorough intervention for patients with impaired lung function.
The goal is to improve patients' overall function and increase their ability to perform regular daily activities and improve a person's quality of life. Our pulmonary rehab program is staffed by specially-trained medical professionals to assist you in managing and living with your specific lung condition.
Patients referred for pulmonary rehab have one of the following:
Pulmonary rehab is covered by most insurers and is offered at a time that is convenient for you. Pulmonary rehab is typically eight to 12 weeks for two to three days a week. The length of time per workout depends on your individual program.
Enrollment is easy; just ask your physician for a referral and call to make an appointment at one of our locations below.
While you are at pulmonary rehab, your team may include respiratory care practitioners, social workers, nurses, and your primary physician. You will complete a detailed interview, brief physical exam, and a comprehensive review of your medical history.

You can make hemp milk or add it to many vegan recipes. Love this product because it is pure, organic and raw. No heating has taken place to acidify it. No heat keeps it alkaline.

Adding the contact form to the menu in Drupal 7
Written by Tim Sisson
Views: 20,207
Published: Jul 18, 2012
Comments: 6
Before being able to add the contact form into your main menu, you should have already installed the contact module and configured the settings. Now, you need to create a way for your website's visitors to actually find and access the form. You can add a contact link to your main menu via the Drupal dashboard.
- Log into your Drupal 7 Dashboard
- Go to Structure >> Menu
- Click Edit Menu next to Main Menu
- Click on the List Links tab in the top right
- Ensure you are on the LIST LINKS tab (tabs are shown in the top right) and then click Add Link in the top left
- Fill out the desired fields with the appropriate data.
Menu link title This is going to be the actual text the users click on in the menu to get to this page. Path As the contact form by default is located at http://domain.com/contact, enter contact as the path. Description The Description field will display its contents when using the mouse to hover over the menu link. Enabled The Enabled box must be checked for the menu item to be visible. Show as expanded If this menu item has children, always show the children. Parent link Parent Link is for use if you want to place the menu under another menu item as a child. By default, this is set to <Main Menu> so it is on the top level. Weight Weight is a numerical designation for where the item will display in the menu. The lower the number, the higher or more to the left the menu item is placed.
- Click Save
Now, when you visit your website, you'll see that there is now a link to your contact from in the menu bar.

We went to Koln with a small child and a baby and this apartment was exactly what we need!
It's near Dom, and it's served by train and U-bahn, if you decide to visit other locations.
Without a car, the apartment is ok.
Ohne Auto ist die Wohnung ok.
Good location, nice room indeed, practical. However, for 4 people scarce. The reception of the TV signal would be better. But was overall a pleasant stay in a very straightforward acquisition and delivery of the apartment. Highly recommended!
Gute Lage, hübsche Einrichtung, zweckmässig. Jedoch für 4 Personen knapp. Der Empfang des Fernsehsignals dürfte besser sein. War aber insgesamt ein angenehmer Aufenthalt mit sehr unkomplizierter Übernahme und Abgabe der Wohnung. Sehr zu empfehlen!
Great location as 10/12 min to train station and Dom.
Clean and really good size for 2 people with separate lounge/dining room.
Bathroom and kitchen are small but adequate.
Small shops nearby and supermarket 10 min away if needed.
I would definitely try and stay again if in Cologne.
Nice owner - nice cozy apartment - good location - what more could you want?
Nette Vermieter - angenehme gemütliche Wohnung - gute Lage - was will man mehr?
Very central but quiet apartment. The contact to the landlord and the house manager was friendly and uncomplicated. We felt very comfortable and will definitely be back!
Sehr zentral und dennoch ruhig gelegene Wohnung. Der Kontakt zu der Vermieterin und dem Hausmanager war unkompliziert und freundliche. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen bestimmt wieder !

Hamilton, Virginia (Edith)
Virginia (Edith) Hamilton 1936–
American novelist, biographer, critic, and editor.
Hamilton has won acclaim for her daring and imaginative fiction in which she explores a variety of themes. She blends such elements as mystery, dreams, legend, and folklore, using an intensive prose style rich in symbolism. Hamilton has helped raise the level of sophistication in young adult literature. Her protagonists are black adolescents who face problems relevant to all human beings, reflecting her belief that "the experience of a people must come to mean the experience of humankind."
Hamilton's characters often display a wildly fertile imagination. Her early works Zeely and The Planet of Junior Brown feature protagonists whose worlds of fancy become more real to them than reality. These protagonists are helped back to a more balanced view of life through sympathetic friends. The same theme is explored again in the Justice Cycle trilogy, where unchecked mental and physical powers result in disaster and a "unit" of psychic characters survives only by helping each other.
Hamilton's most celebrated work, M. C. Higgins, the Great, follows a poor boy's growing awareness of himself and his surroundings. M. C. thinks little of what he has, preferring to sit atop a pole and dream. But when his home is threatened, M. C. stops dreaming. He learns to take pride in his heritage and to be responsible for himself and others. M. C. Higgins, the Great won the Newbery Medal and the National Book Award, both in 1975. Hamilton has received numerous other awards, including the Edgar Allan Poe Award in 1968 for best juvenile mystery with The House of Dies Drear.

Elinore Standard
At the start of Virginia Hamilton's Zeely, Miss Elizabeth and Master John Perry are traveling by train to Uncle Ross' farm for the summer. New holiday names are quickly minted—Elizabeth is Geeder and John is Toeboy.
Miss Hamilton tells with perfect, nostalgic descriptions of the uncle's old farmhouse, of country days and doings, good country things to eat, and of summer nights slept in the dewy outdoors, of moonlight tricks and exchanged whispers in the dark. Best of all, this is the story of Geeder and Zeely.
Zeely Tayber was more than six and a half feet tall, thin and deeply dark as a pole of ebony….
She had very high cheekbones and her eyes seemed to turn inward on themselves. Geeder couldn't say what expression she saw on Zeely's face. She only knew that it was calm, that it had pride in it, and that the face was the most beautiful she had ever seen.
Geeder listens while Zeely tells a haunting story of her own origins and of her people. The tale has a moral and one from which Geeder profits.
Zeely is a fresh, sensitive story, with a lingering, serene, misty quality about it which the reader can save and savor.
Elinore Standard, "Weaving Spells," in Book Week—The Washington Post (© 1967, The Washington Post), June 25, 1967, p. 12.∗
Virginia Haviland
The author of Zeely has surpassed her earlier excellent achievement by dramatizing the history of an Underground Railroad Station in Ohio [in The House of Dies Drear], viewed from its extraordinary present-day milieu…. In depicting Pluto, the bizarre ancient caretaker of the place, and the macabre play-acting devised by his son to scare off the greedy neighbors, Miss Hamilton establishes an almost Gothic atmosphere. Successful in presenting the seemingly occult, she does well, too, with the plain and everyday—the realistic details of household management and the service in the little African Methodist church. Satisfying every demand of the mystery story, the tale far more importantly deals with a boy's searching spirit and the history of a great cause. Thomas's responsiveness to the people in his life, including his twin baby brothers, reveals him to be an unusually sensitive child.
Virginia Haviland, in her review of "The House of Dies Drear," in The Horn Book Magazine (copyright © 1968 by The Horn Book, Inc., Boston), Vol. XLIV, No. 5, October, 1968, p. 563.
Dorothy Sterling
The last few years have seen a slow trickle of children's stories with Negro characters. For the most part these "integrated" books have been the work of white writers who too often have substituted sentimentality and good will for authenticity and depth of feeling. In "The House of Dies Drear" we have a story about black people, written by a black writer, Virginia Hamilton, whose first book, "Zeely," won a prize for promoting interracial understanding.
Above all, Miss Hamilton tells a corking good story. Thomas Small's father, a history professor in a college in Ohio, rents the century-old house that abolitionist Dies Drear built as a station on the Underground Railroad. The night the Smalls move in, things begin to happen. Ghosts walk. Walls slide back to reveal secret passageways. A labyrinth of tunnels leads to a cave under the ground. Thomas and his father explore, investigate and find treasure concealed behind a stalactite curtain. Simultaneously, the boy gains new insights into the history of his people which still, too often, remains stored in academic caves. No matter if the plot unravels too easily. Youngsters, black and white, will gulp the story in a single suspenseful sitting.
"The House of Dies Drear" is written with poetic precision. Miss Hamilton polishes her sentences with care, develops her characters with imagination and love. Thomas is a sensitive boy, self-sufficient, sometimes lonely, his relationship with his father like nothing dreamed of in the [Moynihan Report of 1965, which cited the number of black absentee husbands in proportion to white absentee husbands to support its contention that "the Negro family in the urban ghettos is crumbling"].
Dorothy Sterling, in her review of "The House of Dies Drear," in The New York Times Book Review (© 1968 by The New York Times Company; reprinted by permission), October 13, 1968, p. 26.
Julia G. Russell
[The House of Dies Drear is an] unusual, highly intriguing story skillfully incorporating Civil War history. Thirteen-year-old Thomas Small, his father (a Civil War historian), his mother and brothers arrive at their new home in a small Ohio town…. Thomas is both fascinated and frightened by the legends of escaped slaves, the eccentric old caretaker Pluto; the uncharted passageways of the house, unnerving noises, vandalism in-tended to frighten the Smalls away, forbidding neighbors with threatening sons, and an unpredictable, mysterious little girl. The ending is an anticlimax in view of the preceding tension, but it does serve to tie up loose ends in revealing the treasure of Dies Drear and the mystery surrounding old Pluto…. [The deft lack of emphasis on the family's race] puts the story's interest where it belongs—on the mystery. The fact that the main characters are Negro neither adds to nor detracts from the suspense, but does provide an unobtrusive and convincing point of view for Thomas's discussion of the community with his father. This is a superior mystery with well-sustained suspense and an unself-conscious story of a boy who gains a new appreciation of his heritage. (pp. 53-4)

A stunningly good, absolutely compelling, weird and unique book, Virginia Hamilton's [The Planet of Junior Brown] is the story of three outsiders in New York City: Junior Brown and Buddy Clark, both in their early teens, and Mr. Pool, a one-time teacher and now school custodian. While all three are black, what they suffer at the hands of an uncaring, unfeeling world might be suffered by anybody, anytime, anywhere. Buddy, parentless and on his own, lives by his wits in deserted building where he is the self-appointed guardian of two younger boys. Junior, luckier in material terms, lives comfortably with his overprotective mother, but he is grotesquely fat, withdrawn and, perhaps, mentally ill. Mr. Pool, who had quit teaching 15 years before, stifled by the lack of freedom in an over-structured educational system, is the two boys' companion during the days which they spend together hidden in a secret room he has constructed in the basement of the school. Through the story of the three, The Planet of Junior Brown presents an unforgettable evocation of madness—madness in the individual (overwhelming, generalized fear resulting from unrelieved spiritual/emotional/physical solitude) enforced by the madness of society which is indifference (the indifference which rejects Junior's need, while walking, "to touch a profile here and a full face there … [his] seeing and longing for the faces."). Readers see advances, probably unalterable madness...

Junior Brown [the protagonist of "The Planet of Junior Brown"] is a fat, black, hopeless boy, a 300-pound musical prodigy whose mother has untied the wires of the family piano. He sweats profusely, talks to himself, reaches out on the street to touch the faces of passing strangers and beats out his music lesson on the back of a chair. He looks like Buddha and eats like Paul Bunyan.
Into his miserable life come two friends: the janitor, Mr. Pool, once a teacher but now custodian of the high-school broom closet, and Buddy Clark, a tall, quiet, Robin Hood type. Buddy is the surrogate parent of a "planet" of homeless children, a "Tomorrow Billy" (because he always returns "tomorrow" with the food and...

"The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line," W.E.B. DuBois wrote prophetically in 1903. Virginia Hamilton's excellent biography, W.E.B. DuBois …, is a tribute to the lifetime he spent trying to solve that problem.
Her book follows him through his years with the NAACP, which he helped found. It outlines the great struggles which threatened the civil rights movement from without—whites vs. black—and from within—DuBois vs. Booker T. Washington, for example. It also attempts to set the record straight on Dr. DuBois' later years—to show how and why he was maligned, misunderstood, and ignored because of alleged pro-Communist sympathies.

[Carefully] researched and documented, sympathetic toward the subject yet candid about his failings, [W.E.B. Du Bois: A Biography] is a sober record of the long career of William Du Bois. The biography concentrates on his adult life, giving a detailed account of the teacher, writer, and political activist and very little about his personal life. This lacks the warmth that characterizes Virginia Hamilton's fiction, but it makes a particular contribution in placing the events of Du Bois' life not just in the stream of black history but against the background of what was happening in the United States and how it inevitably affected what was happening to William Du Bois.

Sheryl B. Andrews
William Edward Burghardt Du Bois struggled for ninety-five years as educator, writer, intellectual, and poet against prejudice and fear, so that black people throughout the world could claim their blackness with pride, their humanity with honor. There is no easy definition for such a man; perhaps the most honest approach is simply to chronicle his achievements and let them speak for themselves. [Virginia Hamilton in W.E.B. Du Bois: A Biography] has done just that. With grace and dignity she has recounted the story of W.E.B. Du Bois, quoting from his many works, detailing his very full life…. The book is an affirmation of Du Bois' life, and a fascinating historical document of the Black Movement in America....

They say the pity of youth is that it's wasted on the young. Since we're well into our thirties and because we love the stories of Virginia Hamilton we must agree. Before motherhood descended upon us we could curl up in a corner with "Zeely" or "The Planet of Junior Brown" and cry all alone remembering … wishing … hoping about a childhood of our dreams. Now we gather child, dog and gerbils (after we have extracted their promise not to chew the book) around us on the couch, under the quilt, with a big bowl of popcorn and share "M. C. Higgins, the Great." Actually we're proud to share Virginia Hamilton with our family. They should know the good things.

The richly detailed story of the Appalachian Hills [M. C. Higgins the Great,] tells of a few important days in the life of thirteen-year-old M. C. Higgins, self-styled "The Great."… Much of the story is devoted to the effect that two strangers had on M. C. One was a dude from the city, who was going through the hills making tape recordings of singers and their old songs. (M. C. was certain that when the dude heard his mother's magnificent voice, he would get her started on the way to becoming a great star.) The other stranger was a restless girl who walked fearlessly through the woods and camped briefly beside a lake. She was impatient with the local super-stitions and stimulated M. C. to a wider acceptance...

[Until] recently it was rare to find an American under 18 who knew who Paul Robeson is. However, within less than a year, several of his old films have been revived, black students at Rutgers named their student center for him, and a three part series on Robeson, sponsored by National Educational Television, won an Emmy.
Now Robeson's renaissance is further enhanced by Virginia Hamilton's outstanding biography [Paul Robeson: The Life and Times of a Free Black Man]. In a lively narrative style, she recounts Robeson's life from the warmth of his closely knit family, through his professional and political growth, to his persecution during the McCarthy witch-hunt and its final resolution. Virginia...

Louis D. Mitchell
Virginia Hamilton is a craftsman, often good at being just that and nothing more. Biographical artist she is not, in [Paul Robeson: The Life and Times of a Free Black Man], perhaps because of her lack of range and her deficient sympathy in capturing, even for children, the protean character of Paul Robeson. She merely suggests and, given the stature of Robeson, one ought to expect and receive more depth, more insight from a biographer. Perhaps this biography has merit in being pitched to a youthful reader's level—if one is to consider the very young as less intelligent, less worthy of art, less lucid in perception.
Robeson has suffered greatly for his opinions but he stands immensely above...

American award-winning children's literature has sometimes been on the over-earnest side; it seems more difficult to win prizes for writing a funny, even irreverent book. What can one expect, therefore, from Virginia Hamilton's M. C. Higgins, The Great, which has scooped this year's pool by landing the National Book Award, the Newbery Medal and the Boston Globe award? Is it three times as good, or merely three times more earnest than previous winners?
Perhaps a bit of both; Virginia Hamilton writes in heavy but compelling prose. Characters lumber rather than leap from the page, but once in focus they make their mark….
Certainly, this is a sincere and highly original work....

Carol Vassallo
[M. C. Higgins, the Great is] a composite of rich interwoven themes, strengthened by vivid characterization and a deep sense of place. (p. 194)
Much of the story revolves around M. C.'s emotional tension as his love for the mountain conflicts with his belief that the family must leave its home. Further, his friendship with Ben Killburn is thwarted by his family's superstitious dread of the Killburns, whom they consider "witchy." In the end M. C. saves his home by building a wall to stem the onslaught of the threatening "spoil heap." The wall is made of dirt, reinforced by rusty fenders and other car parts and, finally, by the very burial stones of his ancestors, with their markings still...

Jane Langton
Virginia Hamilton likes dangerous edges. She tries things that might not work. Her books are experimental, different, strange. She runs bravely along the edges of cliffs.
Her characters also exist on the edges of things. Often they cross the border into adolescence, teeming out of childhood into the chancy independence of maturity with a bursting strength that sometimes brims over into violence. They are black, but their color is not what is most important about them. At Virginia Hamilton's best, her characters transcend race and youth, and grow larger until they are towering images of dignity and power.
In "Arilla Sun Down" the muscular young presence is Arilla's big brother Jack...

Virginia Hamilton's ["Arilla Sun Down"] delicately explores one of the most ignored facts of American society: that a great many "vanishing Americans" did not really vanish, but were absorbed instead into the relatively friendly black community. The evidence is everywhere for those who are willing to see it: Plains and Cherokee features appear startlingly at the windows of many sharecroppers' shacks and ghetto tenements, as well as in newspaper and magazine pictures of black achievers. And there are less obvious traces of this oddly hidden heritage, habits of mind and deeply rooted beliefs neither Afro nor Anglo in origin.
Imparting these last, subtlest parts of the Native American heritage through...

"Never before has black creative intelligence coincided so opportunely with the development of black pride, the advancement of political-cultural awareness, independence, and style to affect black art" wrote Virginia Hamilton in a 1975 article "High John Is Risen Again" … Nowhere is this "black creative intelligence" so evident as in Virginia Hamilton's own writing, first in M. C. Higgins The Great, and now in her latest book … Arilla Sun Down.
Virginia Hamilton, herself a descendant of slaves, is concerned with black identity. In M. C. Higgins The Great this concern is subtly explored in the history of the Higgins family. In Arilla Sun Down the concern is continued...

[In Justice and Her Brothers, with] school out for the summer and their parents gone for most of the day, 11-year-old Justice is left in the company of her twin brothers, Thomas and Levi, two years older and as different in personality as they are identical in appearance…. The surface action involves Justice's attempts to keep up with her brothers and their gang in such average-kid activities as riding bicycles and catching snakes, but the subtle, sometimes confusing psychic power-struggle underneath has vivid and terrifying effects and is the source of the carefully created tension in the story. Many rich details—heat, dust, smells, patterns of sound, etc. are skillfully woven into a complex plot all the...

Reading Virginia Hamilton is like being shot out of a cannon into the Milky Way. Sometimes just a phrase sends you off, an image or a scene, but invariably at the end of a book you marvel: look how high I've been just on words! Indeed such is the extraordinary quality of Miss Hamilton's imagination that her characters seem to have to go faster than other fictional characters just to keep up with her. They speed past, splintering time: M. C. Higgins (in the award-winning book of that name) swimming as if he were made of quicksilver; Arilla Sundown (in the book of the same title) guiding her sled at breakneck pace to the very edge of a precipice. And now [in Justice and Her Brothers] we have Justice on her...

John Rowe Townsend
Clearly Virginia Hamilton is concerned as a writer with the black, or non-white, experience. To the best of my recollection, no fictional character in any of her work up to the time of writing is white. But there is no taint of racism in her books; as she said herself in [her article "High John is Risen Again"] 'the experience of a people must come to mean the experience of humankind.' All through her work runs an awareness of black history, and particularly of black history in America. And there is a difference in the furniture of her writing mind from that of most of her white contemporaries: dream, myth, legend and ancient story can be sensed again and again in the background of naturalistically-described...

No one can claim that "Dustland," the second book in Virginia Hamilton's trilogy, can stand alone. Nothing is meant to be resolved, and I confess that it's hard to wait for the last and decisive volume. It's not simply that I'm impatient at the interruption of narrative; I want to know what Virginia Hamilton thinks. Is there a future for mankind? That's the kind of question she's leading up to and that's what I want to know. And I won't know until the last sparks have fallen.
In the first book, "Justice and Her Brothers," she introduces her characters: Justice, the 11-year-old heroine, her identicaltwin brothers, Tom and Levi, mirror images of good and evil, and Dorian, their strange friend....

Betty Levin
Virginia Hamilton is a writer of rare depth and range. Her subjects, her stories, her style, continue to press forward and away from what she has written before. "Dustland" is an exception only because it follows "Justice and Her Brothers" and ought to be read as part of the Justice cycle.
Dustland is a place—or is it simply the future?—to which Justice and her twin brothers and their friend travel in their minds. The four children, each endowed with extrasensory power, can only move as a unit from home and the present to Dustland. Their mutual need is a blessing and a burden—as are all intense relationships, all commitments.
In Dustland, nothing the children have previously...

The four children who make up ["the unit" in Dustland], Thomas, Levi, Justice and Dorian, and who in their encounter with "the future" sometimes lose "psychic chunks", are so scantily drawn as to evade the imagination. However assiduously we follow up clues and try to interpret allegories (even with recourse to The New Testament, Tolkien, or Psychic News), without a picture of the children, only available in Dustland's precursor, Justice and her Brothers or towards the end of Dustland itself, we risk bewilderment and boredom. This is a great pity for if the two books had been combined the Dustland episode would have been absorbed into an intriguing whole.

[The Planet of Junior Brown, a] powerful, haunting, troubling book, contrasts sanity and madness, endorsement and rejection of life, commitment to others and absorption with self. Characters are at once individual and deeply symbolic. They are complex and act in ways that are often inconsistent, inimical to their own interests, and totally irrational, yet their behavior is haunting and disquieting and echoes with broader meaning. The treatment of Junior Brown's withdrawal from reality is paradoxical. It is a response to an oppressive, uncaring world, and yet it embodies a surprising innocence. Mrs. Peebs surrounds herself with objects, trying to compensate for a life of losses. Her barely manageable fantasy...

"The Gathering" is the third volume of a trilogy about time travel that might conveniently be called science fiction but is more accurately described as a poet's flight into the future, in the same vein as Marge Piercy's "Woman on the Edge of Time" though unfortunately not as successful….
In volume one of this series ("Justice and Her Brothers" …) "Ticey," her twin brothers and their friend Dorian discover that they share a telepathic bond and a special mission, which will eventually draw them out of their own time. The scenes where the youngsters first test their extrasensory powers work well, mainly because the author manages to inject a bit of magic into the proceedings. In volume two...

The Gathering, volume three of Virginia Hamilton's alluring but incohesive trilogy, is an innovative book; likely to engender a spate of analysis from Black Studies Departments, it is difficult to understand and not easy to read….
Justice, Thomas, Levi and Dorian (transformed in a time warp into "the unit") have returned to Dustland (a country akin to the dust storm-plagued mid-west prairies of the 1930s) in order to guide the decrepit three-legged Slaker mutants to freedom. But once there, they encounter, empathize with and decide to help the half-child leggens, smooth keeps and youngens who, grouped in "packens" of threes, are inching their way towards a Celestial City in the face of...

The author of award-winning M. C. Higgins the Great … and other imaginative works has ventured again into new ways of exploring the human spirit—literally, in [the case of Sweet Whispers, Brother Rush]; one of the three principal characters is a ghost…. The story is minutely and vividly developed, with no jarring of continuity between scenes of present time and past. Each character takes shape both from current behavior and influential factors of his or her background. This interplay of past on present is one of the most skillful aspects of the book, another being the emotional portraiture of several distinctive, empathetic individuals unbared by crisis. The language is a blend of occasionally...

Few writers of fiction for young people are as daring, inventive, and challenging to read—or to review—as Virgina Hamilton. Frankly making demands on her readers, she nevertheless expresses herself in a style essentially simple and concise—though often given to outbursts of intense feeling. And meeting those demands, the reader not only forgives but learns to enjoy her small lapses into obscurity, which a less subtle writer would find intolerable.
Not quite fifteen, Tree (short for Teresa) [the protagonist in Sweet Whispers, Brother Rush] was bright and self-reliant; every day she came home from school promptly, her whole existence centered on looking after Dab, her retarded older...

Tree—short for Teresa—is a black girl with a world of problems. She has never known a father. Her mother is a nurse and stays away for weeks at a time. School means little to Tree. Not only must she cook and keep house, but she has to take care of her older brother Dab, who is marginally retarded and also exhibits symptoms of another illness; he cringes from light, grows absent-minded and distracted, sometimes experiences severe pain. Tree and her brother are extremely close; in the small apartment where they live, he has been her whole world. At the age of 14, she seems ready to expand her horizons.
Such facts are not unusual in a novel for young people, which characteristically loads its...

There are those who say that Virginia Hamilton is a great writer but that her books are hard to get into. [Sweet Whispers, Brother Rush] is not. It fairly reaches off the first page to grab you, and once it's got you, it sets you spinning deeper and deeper into its story. Needless to say, this is not a conventional ghost story. In fact, the function of the ghost in this book is to provide 14-year-old Tree Pratt with a place from which to view her world. (p. 41)
Through the space of [the ghost of] Brother Rush, Tree mystically learns the tragic history of her mother's people. But why does she need to know these things? Why has Brother Rush come? What are his whispers—the message—that he...

FARMINGTON – Thompson Health's Farmington Rehabilitation Department is pleased to provide a new piece of rehabilitative equipment that can help jockeys, competitive equestrians and those recovering from an equine-related injury get back in the saddle.
Called the Equicizer, this non-motorized, mechanical horse simulates a real horse's movement. Through its patented spring-designed mechanism – controlled by the user's level of effort and fitness – riders can rehabilitate, improve body posture and positioning, exercise and practice their technique in a safe, controlled environment.
"Often, our patients come to us with injuries that require them to regain strength and flexibility in order to return to the saddle. Conventional exercises used in rehabilitative therapy assist in this, but do not always recondition the areas of the body that are essential to riding," says Physical Therapist Farley Wagner of Farmington Rehabilitation. "By rehabilitating on the Equicizer, however, patients can recondition these essential areas through simulated riding practices, increasing strength and confidence while decreasing the time it takes to return to riding."
The Equicizer isn't just for equestrians, though. In addition to mountain bikers and motocross enthusiasts, it can also benefit those with neurological or vestibular conditions. Through exercises performed using the Equicizer, those who experience balance problems or dizziness can improve their sense of balance and flexibility while gaining confidence.
