Throughout the morning children and their families can enjoy drawing, funky junk sculpture and clay workshops facilitated by Gallery educators, artists and voluntary guides. A highlight of Sculpture Garden Sunday is a unique opportunity for visitors to work with local artists including Simon Scheuerle, Jennifer Jones, Phil Nizette, and Tony Steele to create an installation piece.
Other activities include a Sculpture Garden children's trail which enables families to explore the sculptures in the garden and Ickle Pickle Productions will engage audiences with a theatrical response to the outdoor collection during the morning. Gallery conservators will also conduct workshops to share some of their secrets about how the Gallery cares for its outdoor sculptures.

It will probably feel like summer for a while longer, but summer officially ended here in the northern hemisphere at 4:47 a.m. MDT on Sept 23.
According to NASA Solar System Ambassador to Utah Patrick Wiggins, "At that moment the sun will glide southward across the celestial equator, an event known as the September or autumnal equinox."
The celestial equator is an imaginary line in space directly above earth's equator.
On the day of the equinox the periods of daylight and dark are about equal and the sun rises due east, and sets due west, which Wiggins notes, "Can be a problem for drivers in Utah where so many roads run due east and west."
While we who reside in the northern hemisphere think of this month's equinox as the start of the shorter, cooler days of fall, those in the southern hemisphere, where the seasons are reversed, see it as the start of the longer, warmer days of spring.
The next similar event, known as the March or vernal equinox, will occur when the sun moves northward across the celestial equator next March, marking the start of northern hemispheric spring.
Similarly, there are two times a year when the sun is furthest from the sky's equator. One is at the start of summer, when it's furthest north, and the other is at the start of winter, when it's furthest south. These events are known as the June and December solstices.

The Emery County Sheriff's Office held a forensics/CSI camp for area students on July 21. The camp was one in a series of camps sponsored by the education committee for the Emery County Economic Development council.
Other camps have included an archaeology camp, dino camp, paleontology camp and a theatre camp.
The CSI camp began with Capt. Kyle Ekker speaking on how to investigate crime scenes. Sgt. Norm Vuksinick, Det. Sgt. Robert Blackburn and Det. John Barnett were also involved in instructing students in investigating a crime scene from start to finish.
Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon spoke to the campers about a career in law enforcement and told them about the sheriff's office and how things work there.
Kyla Bunnell who graduated from Weber State University in criminology also spoke to the students about a career in forensic investigation.
Students were taught the basics of securing a crime scene and gathering evidence. The students were taught to make a plaster cast of a footprint to be entered as evidence. They sprayed the foot print with hair spray to set the print and then mixed the plaster. It is the same ingredient dentists use for impressions for dental work. The students began investigating the mock crime scene by taking photographs of the entire area and the victim. Victims should be checked first to see if they are alive or dead. The crime scene was sealed off and all unauthorized people were not allowed into the crime scene.
Deputy county attorney, Brent Langston spoke to the students and stressed the importance of keeping a crime scene clean and accurate. He said the gathering of evidence is crucial for prosecuting a case. A crime scene is kept clean by not allowing people to walk all over and damage evidence. He said it is the duty of law enforcement to preserve the evidence and find the truth about what happened at the crime scene.
"Some people think we can solve every crime, but that is not necessarily true that we can solve every case. Sometimes DNA evidence and fingerprints are hard to find at a crime scene. The county attorney's office and the sheriff's office work together on gathering the details for a case. Right now we are working on the evidence for an armed robbery," said Langston.
Det. Vuksinick said, "The officer who arrives first is in charge of the scene. They will check the victim first. They are in charge until the sergeant and detectives arrive. If evidence is contaminated then it can't be used in court."
The students kept a photo log of the crime scene and labeled and recorded all evidence. The students were also taught to make a sketch of the crime scene. Some of the evidence is put in a plastic bag, but other evidence isn't put into bags because it may damage the evidence. The students received handouts which specified how to handle and catalog all the evidence. The photographic record is very important in detailing how the crime scene appears when the first responder gets to the scene.
The students learned how to look for clues at the scene which lead to the solving of the crime or to determine if a crime has been committed. Sometimes homicides are made to look like suicides to try to cover up a crime.
Det. Sgt. Blackburn told the students about wounds. He said the entrance wound is always a smaller hole than the exit wound. He described how the wounds look can tell you a lot about the nature of the crime.
Sheriff Guymon said, "We hope this forensics camp will be an ongoing tradition. It is important to expose our young people to real life situations. It is also important to mentor young people with an interest in a career in law enforcement. That is how we will get qualified individuals to fill available positions. I don't believe there is anything better than a home-grown peace officer that understands Emery County and its people."
Those participating in the camp included: Ashley Stilson, Beverly Gilpin, Naomi Fortner, Mandee Allen, Daniel Gilpin, Wyatt Nelson, Sam Kofford and Wylie Nelson.

Bills training camp observations: Day 14
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 9 2014 8:43PM
The Buffalo Bills returned home from North Carolina with their first victory of the preseason and didn't delay themselves from getting back to work. Head coach Doug Marrone elected to take the practice field on the next night in what turned out to be an abbreviated session.
How did the Bills look less than 24 hours removed from the game? Here are some observations from the day:
Lightest practice of camp
- Before the day had begun, Doug Marrone addressed the media and told reporters that Saturday's practice would be a lighter type of day because of the turnaround from the win over the Panthers. He didn't disappoint in that respect, holding to his promise and only making his team go through a practice that lasted one hour and 45 minutes, which is anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes less than an average day for the Bills. The team took the field in helmets, shoulder pads, jerseys and shorts, but were instructed not even to play to a 'thud,' which means just minor contact without anyone hitting the ground. Saturday was a non-contact practice to not only keep the Bills in the proper practice and scheduling habits, but also to not just rest on only the work that was done Friday night in Charlotte. The team hustled off the field and most fans had left St. John Fisher College before it was even 9 pm.
Daily EJ update
- There wasn't too much to dissect for Manuel with a practice that really didn't prove to be all that strenuous. He went through a pair of 7-on-7 drills as well as a couple of 11-on-11s that were mostly nondescript. Through the 7-on-7s, Manuel and the other quarterbacks rarely threw to the outside and mostly just settled for underneath and dump down options. All across the board, you would like to see the quarterbacks take a few more chances in 7-on-7 than they did on Saturday. However, one play of Manuel's sticks out because he didn't tip his hand to the safety. Sammy Watkins ran free with the defense in a zone look, and Manuel froze the safety in his spot knowing Watkins was open before delivering the pass to the rookie. He did not do the same in an 11-on-11 drill later on in the practice, however. Manuel was looking for tight end Scott Chandler over the middle of the field and telegraphed it, which allowed Da'Norris Searcy to jump the play, break it up and tip the ball in the air for his defensive teammate to bring down the interception. The second-year quarterback also chipped in a fade pass to the right sideline to Mike Williams that had the right amount of touch and distance. Williams hauled it in and proved to Manuel once more that he's able to go up and get the ball with the best of them.
Interesting first-team secondary
- Due to the lighter practice, the Bills were likely trying to get significant playing time to some players that don't normally get the opportunity. No changes were more noticeable than what the secondary looked like. Stephon Gilmore resumed his familiar role at right cornerback, but most everything else was different from Wednesday's practice ahead of the Panthers game. This time around, rookie Ross Cockrell was lined up at left cornerback, Corey Graham was the nickel corner, Duke Williams played free safety and Da'Norris Searcy assumed the role of strong safety. Aaron Williams did participate in practice but was with the second team. Don't look too much into these developments, specifically with Aaron Williams, because Saturday could have just served as a practice to keep him a bit more fresh. Cockrell and Graham getting snaps at those positions is good experience for them if the team gets into a bind due to injuries during the regular season.
McClain getting time with the 1s
- The Bills also implemented some different looks on offense as well not only because of the amount of time they had planned on practicing, but because they were also a bit shorthanded from an injury perspective. With starting left guard Chris Williams injured, the Bills used rookie Cyril Richardson and Antoine McClain as the first-team left tackle. Of the two, McClain got the majority of snaps during team drills in what was his biggest chance to date to show the coaching staff that he could help the roster. He had to be disappointed with his day after allowing pressure up the middle in not only the passing game, but also having some runs to his side thwarted because he couldn't sustain his block. As soon as Williams gets back he'll take back the starting duties at left guard. He likely would have regardless of McClain's performance, but now McClain likely won't be pushing for more time based on his chance Saturday.
Inactivities Aplenty
- Chris Williams (back) was one of a whopping nine players who sat out of the practice due to some sort of injury. He was joined by safety Derek Brim (hip), cornerback Ron Brooks (thigh), wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (hamstring), safety Kenny Ladler (hamstring), cornerback Leodis McKelvin (hip), safety Jonathan Meeks (neck), tight end Tony Moeaki (hamstring) and linebacker Ty Powell (medical) as those unable to participate in the Saturday session. Many of the names listed as inactive for Saturday's practice have also been mentioned in prior practices as well, so perhaps it was just a rest day for most because of the quick turnaround from the preseason game.
Bills' MVP: HB C.J. Spiller
- The running back got the ball quite a bit during team drills and displayed the same burst and quickness that he had on Friday night against the Carolina Panthers. He has consistently gotten the first reps with the first team before a sub comes in and the same goes for the preseason games as well. He's going to be a big part of the offense that will boast other quality runners.
Bills' LVP: Third-team offense
- In their lone 11-on-11 drill, the Jeff Tuel led squad couldn't muster much of anything against the third-team defense. They were given five plays near the end of practice, and it started off with Alan Branch beating J.J. 'Unga for a sack up the middle. The next play, defensive tackle Damien Jacobs and cornerback Bobby Felder combined for a sack without any blockers around them. Tuel stormed back with two straight dump downs to Evan Rodriguez without spotting anyone open down the field. The five-play stretch was then concluded by defensive end Bryan Johnson beating left tackle Edawn Coughman quite easily for their third sack in five plays.
Up Next:
The Bills get back on the practice field on Sunday at 2 pm. The session at St. John Fisher College is open to the general public.

The price of gold is back in a bull market if your yardstick is the conventional one — a 20% rise off the lows.
Nomura's metals and mining strategists apparently aren't convinced. While the group's looking for gold to get back above $1,500 before long, they're not looking for much more heading into 2014. They instead argue gold faces a tough time next year on account of gold's old frenemy — real interest rates.
Here, Nomura's people are looking for a rise. When real interest rates are on the upswing, gold tends to become less attractive to investors.
A few months back, we showed you research to the effect that gold's price has been 82% negatively correlated with real rates over the years. It appears to be the closest link between gold's price and any other phenomenon in the market, according to the research.
From the Nomura note:
The current difficulties facing emerging markets appear to be dampening global growth sentiment and the recent rise in US treasury yields is beginning to be perceived as a potential headwind for the recovering US economy. A material change to US growth expectations or the generalised path of tapering of QE anticipated by the market could see gold resume its bull market should there remain unanswered questions surrounding global monetary policy in a post-QE world. On balance, however, in a rising real interest rate environment, we would continue to expect that Western gold disinvestment continues in 2014.
They've also got a note of worry about weaker central-bank demand in Asia:
One aspect of the upcoming changes in gold supply and demand that needs to be accounted for is the shifting FX reserves build up in emerging markets. As the capital account balances in emerging markets deteriorate, there are fewer funds that can be put towards gold.
Investors are pushing the niche's big ETFs higher Wednesday. SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and iShares Gold Trust (IAU), which track the price of the metal, are ahead by 0.3% apiece. Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) is rising by 2.3%. Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) is ahead by 1.7%.

At least three people sit, each with a different size drum, and act out "call and answer" patterns, which are played on the drums. Contemporary drummers often use two or three batás in a stand on their percussion set-up. LP Batás have precise, gracefully tapered shells, with increasing thickness to the smallest point, for a great, strong sounding drum.

11 projects
4 projects
6 projects
4 projects
7.J. Funding: The recommended budget was met. In addition, the Autism Speaks Global Health Initiative projects address this objective, though they have been coded to their specific scientific areas and are not represented in this funding amount. Also, the CDC provides personnel and help to States, territories and countries as requested, but the budget for that assistance is not reflected in the portfolio analysis figures because this work is not done through grants.
Progress: Progress has been made in addressing this need, but not all responsive projects were reflected in the funding amount because some of them were conducted through sources not captured in the portfolio analysis (non-autism specific funding sources) or the projects were assigned according to their scientific topics rather than to this objective. In addition to providing supplemental funding for ADDM site surveillance, Autism Speaks funds projects on surveillance conducted by sites outside of the ADDM network, such as the Kwa-Zulu-Natal Autism Study in South Africa.
Remaining Gaps, Needs and Opportunities: While progress has been achieved, ongoing efforts are needed in this area.

Summary: Get an overview on what is available in precision measuring with laser and digital tools that can level and plumb, measure angles, measure distances and more. For more great tool advice, visit www.toolselect.com [2].
MIKE: Well, if you go digital with one of those things, now you can actually get a read-out for what that angle is.
BARNABY: That's better than relying on your partner. "Is it level yet? Is it level yet?" "What?"
MIKE: "What's it worth to you?"
BARNABY: Hey, what's happening? Barnaby here. You know, Mike, I was once talking to an old time woodworker who said, "You can tell the value of a carpenter by the length of the man's level." This guy showed up once with an eight-foot level on a job site and everybody was like, "I am not worthy. I am not worthy." Because it is all about making sure that everything is spot-on on the job.
MIKE: It makes your job easier when things are plumb and when they're level and you know what to expect.
BARNABY: Right. Well, I'll tell you what, now these days they've digitalized levels and angle measures and T-bevels and protractors. It's all about superfine measurements and so that's what we're doing right here is a category overview, and we're kind of talking new tech and, yet, we both are kind of old school. You've been at construction for what, about 20 years?
MIKE: About that, yeah.
BARNABY: Yeah, and I've been dropping my level for about 15 years doing a lot of home improvements.
MIKE: That's good for them.
BARNABY: Yeah, we'll see if these things hold up a little bit better over time. It is kind of a wonderful marriage of the angle finder and the level in a lot of these devices.
MIKE: Yeah, and you start out with those old angle finders; they're not really old, they're still in use. Just being able to tell you what angle something is running at. Whether it's a pipe that you're working with as a plumber and you want to know exactly what the run on that thing is going to be or whatever.
BARNABY: I was just putting in a soil line in a bathroom and we were trying to figure out, "Gee, I wonder exactly how much fall do we really need to get that stuff out of my world into the world of the sewage treatment." When you have a beech handle, which wouldn't obviously stick to PVC, but still, it will give you actually measurements of inches over footfall, millimeters over meters. So, it gives you a real accurate measurement as opposed to the old bubble.
MIKE: Yeah, you're taking some of the guess work out of it. You're taking more precision and putting that back into it. That's nice.
BARNABY: Yeah, and I love the fact that if you're working with pipe that this is magnetized so you just stick it up and there it is.
MIKE: A lot of them are and they've got that V-groove in it so it really grabs the pipe nice, so those are real handy for that application.
BARNABY: Yeah, all right, well let's get back to the length of a level right here. They come in varying lengths, right?
MIKE: Yeah.
BARNABY: And this one right here is the big daddy of the bunch on the table.
MIKE: The four-footer.
BARNABY: Right. And it has laser to it.
MIKE: Lasers.
BARNABY: I think it's amazing. Right?
MIKE: Everything needs lasers, Gerry.
BARNABY: Yeah, now what's a laser for in a level, do you think?
MIKE: If you want to transfer a mark. If you're working with cabinets or something and you've got a line where you've got to transfer it across the room, you can fire that laser up and you know exactly what you're getting at on the other end of the room, so that's handy. Or if you've got to point at something.
BARNABY: Right.
MIKE: Or you've got a cat or a dog.
BARNABY: A PowerPoint presentation and you're just like, "Hey, look at this."
MIKE: And they need a little exercise and you fire up the laser.
BARNABY: Right.
MIKE: This one right here tells you what angle something is at. You can tell on a stair run what your angle's at or you can tell with plumbing what your angle's at. A lot of them have an audible beep to them, which is nice because you can set a pipe or a beam or something and you don't have to be looking at the level necessarily. You may be jacking a beam and trying to get it up to level and as it approaches level it starts to beep and when it hits level it goes to a solid tone.
BARNABY: Yeah, well it's better than relying on your partner. "Is it level yet? Is it level yet?" "What?"
MIKE: "What's it worth to you?"
BARNABY: With these devices, you've got to wonder about the durability and so, for that, you should definitely be looking at the overmolding and end caps on it. So, if you do drop it, it's going to take some shock absorption.
MIKE: Yeah, you don't want to be dropping them. Once in awhile it's going to happen and so you've got to look at what kind of abuse will it withstand and there are all different accuracies, too. You can look at how accurate of a level do you really need and which one's got more accuracy. Stuff to think about.
BARNABY: Right, and also some of the features. As we look at this right here, it's got this interesting … you can see that at night almost. It's got a phosphorescence to it.
MIKE: It's got a glow.
BARNABY: You can see it if you're upside down because it will actually flip for you and you can just take it to this direction, to this direction, and even if you flip it over this way the numbers flip for you.
MIKE: Yeah, and different ways you can read it out. So, if you're working above your head, you can still read the digital on that one.
BARNABY: Absolutely. Then we get into the angle finders right here, which is oh so very necessary. Crown molding, base, whatever you're talking about, you've got to know what the angles are.
MIKE: Yeah, it makes a big difference. If you're new to crown molding or if you're doing crown molding a lot, knowing what that angle is, knowing takes the guesswork out of some of that sneaking up on a cut business with a piece of crown mold.
BARNABY: Oh, I had guys doing some crown in my house and they were just calling out numbers lickety-split just yelling out to the guy on the saw and bam, bam, bam, it's all snapping up perfectly and they were using things like this.
MIKE: Well, they're handy. It's just a nice little trick. It takes a little bit of the mental work out of the game and it gives you an accurate result.
BARNABY: Right, and you know size matters once again as far as measuring angles. You've got the shorter arm right here, you've got the larger arm, and some are actually transformable.
MIKE: Yeah, this one's transformable. You can slide this one out, get a little bit longer arm on it or you can move it back the other way. You can get into tighter spots with it. It's got a display on both sides, all things to kind of keep in mind. How you're going to use the tool, what options do you want when you're using the tool. If you're working above your head and changing the configuration a lot, you might want to think about a display on two sides of the unit.
BARNABY: Right, and sometimes you don't need the big boys, you need the smaller ones right here. This would be more for woodworking, or it could be transferred into tile. We're talking about T-bevels and digital protractors.
MIKE: Yeah, you got the digital protractor here. So, if you've got a piece of wood that you want to transfer an angle onto, you can just set it on the wood, you can get a digital readout of exactly what angle you got, you can mark it and then you can cut it. Or you get into the old T-bevels where you can grab an angle off something and transfer it back. With these guys, you wouldn't really know what the angle was. You would know that the angle is this. That's the angle.
BARNABY: Right.
MIKE: Then you could transfer that right onto a blade on your saw. You could get your cut right. Well, if you go digital with one of those things, now you can actually get a readout for what that angle is. So, now you know what the angle is, you can hit hold and if you bump it you don't lose it, which is handy because I've heard of that happening to other people where they bump them and now they've got to go back and reset it, but that, of course, never happened to me. But if it did, you'd still have the angle here and now you've got the number and you can transfer that to anything else. You can actually transfer it to your different saws without having to actually set it up on there. That's a nice thing.
BARNABY: Yeah, boy it has come oh so very far in a very quick fashion, hasn't it? That's the reason for this category overview, to keep you up to speed on what's happening in the world of tools.
So, what we're going to do is put a lot of these out for testing and so you'll be able to see individually how they perform in the hands of the appropriate user.
But we just wanted to give you a quick overview of what it is that's happening in the world of laser measurements, levels, angles. It's all just accuracy on the job site. That's what we're all after. Right tools for the right job. ToolSELECT.com [3].

|In response to Re: Basement Toliet Removal
Almost anything is possible. It doesn't sound like a legal installation to me. As to how to remove it, start breaking concrete. You will have to access the drainline to install a closet bend and flange anyway. I have a small 3 function rotary hammer/drill that work great for small concrete jobs like this. Costs about $100 from Grizzly, a little less from Harbor Freight. That includes chisel bits and assorted drill bits.

"Without warning, I had a crushing pain in my chest as though someone was sitting on it. I pulled over on a very busy city street during heavy afternoon traffic and parked right under the 'no parking anytime' sign which caught the attention of a parking officer. She approached my car and I suddenly grabbed her by the chest and gasped, 'I can't breath!'"
The story of my journey begins in 1983. I moved to Los Angeles, met and married my husband (now deceased), and began working full time for the State of California in 1984. My life was full with family events, work projects, vacations, and much fun and promise.
While attending college and working full time, I began to notice I was short of breath during my busy day. I continued to keep up with my daily work routine, but had to drop my college track and dance classes as I could just not keep up with the physical activity the classes required. I continued to experience shortness of breath, fatigue, and generally feel out of shape. I made a mental note to visit my doctor after the upcoming Fourth of July holiday which I was looking forward to away from work.
On June 30, 1992, my life was forever changed. I cashed my paycheck after work and began the drive home. Without warning, I had a crushing pain in my chest as though someone was sitting on it. I pulled over on a very busy city street during heavy afternoon traffic and parked right under the "no parking anytime" sign which caught the attention of a parking officer. She approached my car and I suddenly grabbed her by the chest and gasped "I can't breathe!" I saw the urgent look on her face as she called paramedics, who arrived and took me to Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles. During the week I was there, I had several tests done every day to find out why I was so sick. I remember coming in and out of consciousness and not knowing what day or time it was.
On the morning of Saturday, July 4th 1992, the pulmonologist visited my room. He quickly sat down, and said "We found out what's wrong with you. You have pulmonary hypertension (PH) which is a fatal lung condition for which there is no cure for. Go home, get your affairs in order, and the best we can tell you is that you have five years to live. We will send you home with a prescription to help you breathe but your illness will progressively get worse. Eventually you will need a lung transplant." Then he left the room.
"My family was located miles away and I did not have the strength to pick up the phone and call them. I was alone in a cold hospital room and had just received the most devastating news someone could ever hear."
My mind went into a fog, I felt so confused and very scared. I was hyperventilating through my tears. My family was located miles away and I did not have the strength to pick up the phone and call them. I was alone in a cold hospital room and had just received the most devastating news someone could ever hear. I remember grabbing the nurse by the arm, crying all night, and the only question in my head was, WHAT IS PULMONARY HYPERTENSION AND HOW DID I GET IT??
Since that day, I've learned that pulmonary hypertension is a complex and often misunderstood disease. PH means high blood pressure in the lungs but it's different from regular hypertension. In regular hypertension (also known as high blood pressure), the arteries throughout a person's body are constricted. In pulmonary hypertension, the blood vessels in the lungs become narrowed and the heart has to work harder to pump blood through them. PH is a chronic and life-changing disease that can lead to right heart failure if left untreated.
At the time of my diagnosis (1992), the internet and cell phones were not widely available to search for resources. I had no written information or source of support to find out more information about this medical disease that was to end my life.
"For three years, I did not know anyone who had PH or who knew what PH was. My doctors informed me there was not much information available about pulmonary hypertension and advised me to continue taking the medication I was given."
For three years, I did not know anyone who had PH or who knew what PH was. I continued to work, but always the question stayed in my mind. My doctors informed me there was not much information available about pulmonary hypertension and advised me to continue taking the medication I was given.
My doctor's words were correct. My symptoms of PH progressively worsened, I was short of breath, fatigued, dizzy most of the day and was told I was being referred to a PH doctor center for further treatment.
My life was forever changed again when I visited the Liu Center for Pulmonary Hypertension in Torrance, California. I met a cardiologist, Dr. Ronald Oudiz and his mentor and PH center director, Dr. Bruce Brundage, who knew what PH was and how to treat it. He explained I immediately needed an IV line placed in my chest with medicine attached to a pump (Flolan and CADD pump) that would open up the arteries in my lungs to help me breathe. I would have to wear this pump and medication 24 hours a day, which also required care of the IV site and mixing medication that would be attached to the pump. I refused and delayed his recommendations for 3 months until one spring day when Dr. Brundage told me "you are going to die unless you get this medication!"
I received this pump and medication in 1996 and would wear it for 11.5 years. Being a supervisor at the time at my job, I returned to work and made the effort to explain to my work crew what PH was. I did not explain it too well because I just did not completely understand the disease at the time. My crew and other coworkers were unsure what I was going through but understood I was sick and would see me walking around with the pump on my body in a backpack. With this medication, I experienced 4 IV line infections and many hospital visits for treatment.
I was also referred to UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, evaluated and placed on the transplant list for a double lung transplant. I remained on the transplant list for 13 months. During that time, I move to the top of the donor list and one evening in the middle of the night I was called in for transplant. I arrived quickly, was prepped for surgery, witnessed the lung organs being flown in to UCLA and delivered to the surgery room. After some time waiting, the surgeon told me the donated lungs were not viable from the male donor and I was sent home. Shortly thereafter, I was removed from the transplant list by my PH doctor who informed me the Floan was improving my PH symptoms and quality of life.
What I did not know at that time was that this IV medication (Flolan) and medical pump was the ONLY FDA approved medication available at that time to treat PH. Prior to that, I was given a choice of a lung transplant or I would die in two years or less.
PHA provides resources and support for patients and families dealing with PH and funds research programs to look into the causes and possible treatments to PH. One of the many ways PHA provides resources is through support groups. At the invitation of a nurse who attended to me while in the hospital, I began attending support groups and events for people who lived with PH where I learned more about this medical condition.
I continued to benefit from PHA's knowledge and support and the generosity of global donors and contributors to this association which allowed the creation and addition of two FDA approved oral medications in 2004 and 2007. Finally on October 31, 2007, I was taken off the Flolan pump therapy and walked out of the hospital – PUMP FREE. Finally! I was only on oral medications Letaris and Adcirca and it felt SO GOOD to be free of the pump device. PHA funds research programs that explore the causes of and treatments for PH. In the last 15 years, those research efforts have resulted in the creation of 11 FDA approved medications to treat PH.
I continued to attend local support groups and PHA related events nationwide. In 2011, I became the co-leader of the Greater L.A. PH support group at UCLA medical center/VA hospital in Los Angeles. I plan meetings six times a year that includes scheduling speakers, food sponsorship, social media promotion, and notice to the members by mail.
I'm proud to be a founding member of the new group, SuperHeros: Long Term Living with PH- a group for those who have been living with pulmonary hypertension for eight years or more.
"I lost two close PHriends in 2009 and 2012. These lovely ladies were moms and grandmoms whos lives were full of activity, but left us too soon and now will forever breathe easy. Their passing reminds me that PHA must continue the search for a cure."
Allow me to share a little personal information about me. I lost two close PHriends in 2009 and 2012. These lovely ladies were moms and grandmoms whose lives were full of activity, but left us too soon and now will forever breathe easy. Their passing reminds me that PHA must continue the search for a cure. A first cousin of mine was diagnosed with PH shortly after the birth of her only daughter in 1991. She and I have learned that our PH diagnosis is a result of a defective familial gene on my fathers' side of the family. Her mother and my father are siblings in a family of 9 children with only two siblings alive today.
In 2012, I attended the Congressional Luncheon at the Capitol in Washington D.C to ask my senators to co-sponsor the Pulmonary Hypertension Research and Education Act and teach them the importance of early diagnosis thru The Early Diagnosis Campaign: Sometimes It's PH. PH is often misdiagnosed as asthma, COPD or other common diseases. While PH may be similar to these conditions, it is distinctly different, like a zebra among horses."
I'm often asked why I do so much for this organization. My answer is that I was once a newly diagnosed patient, living alone, and so afraid of dying without knowing what PH is. I've survived beyond the five year time line I was given 21 years ago. My journey was not easy by any means. As a long term survivor, every day is a blessing for me. The loss of close friends to this disease and the hope I bring to newly diagnosed patients who I meet keep me motivated to work towards awareness, support, and hope for a cure!

Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
I really hope Kishimoto starts making sense of all this. I am getting sick of this plot not adding up. The fact that they were able to resurrect the Juubi and seem to believe they can complete their plan without the Ninetails or Eighttails or Sasuke, doesn't make any sense based on what has been explained up until now.
On top of that, it is becoming painful to listen to all of the characters continuously spew cliche ridden lines. In the past Naruto has had some great dialog and complex ideas but lately the characters all seem to have been reduced to recycled stereotypes. Every time I think Naruto has reached the epitome of a one dimensional cliche, he opens his mouth and takes it one step further. Naruto's speeches grow more nauseatingly lame by the chapter. Every time he speaks it is to receipt a cheesy line from other one dimensional hero types. I am finding it increasingly difficult to cheer on anyone in this series anymore. Tobi/Obito, is just a loser who went off the deep end, Madara is just an arrogant bastard with an inferiority complex and Sasuke is just an angry fool with no real ambition beyond killing whoever he can project blame upon. When this series started all the characters seemed to have interesting motivations and complex beliefs but lately it seems like all the characters (at least all the living ones) are just a bunch of children with petty ideals. Most of the characters with deep and interesting points of view are dead. Naruto isn't worthy of being the hero of this story and neither Sasuke, nor Tobi, nor even Madara seem like worthy villains anymore. Madara's goals don't even seem to be consistent with his character, and Obito, who seemed intelligent as Tobi, has now been reduced to a brainwashed moron who has spent his life whining over a girl who was never even his. Naruto and Tobi both just seem like a couple of over powered brats with hero complexes while Madara and Sasuke just seem like a couple of overpowered losers with inferiority complexes.
With that said, there are still a lot of good things in this series, I really just hope Kishimoto has a good explanation for the direction the plot has taken and that he does something to make the characters more interesting again. So far nothing about Tobi's plan has really gone as he said it would and his whole motivation seems questionable at best. There has been no explanation for why he was so interested in Sasuke and Itachi or why he considered Sasuke so important. Madara seems like he has more power than ever and Obito just seems like he doesn't really care anymore. Tobi's whole plot throughout the series has been based around obtaining capturing the Kyuubi and developing the sharingan but neither of those things even seem to matter anymore. Tobi and Madara seem like they can just make the Eternal Tsukiyomi without either of those things so what was the point? I am holding out for a good twist.
@artifice Lol i like ur rant especially the parts regarding sasuke lol...been saying it for a while now but let me just repeat it once again. How sasuke is gonna fit into this final battle is really beyond me, not to mention his motivations for genocide are getting pretty far fetched even by manga standards. I mean even after the meeting with itachi he somehow remained the inane idiot that he is with his warped logic.
As for the part on how the juubi is still being revived without the 8 or 9 tails i think that is the reason why they actually still stand a chance against it right now because it isn't fully powered up. But plotwise the past few chapters haven't really being moving and its about time to change that.
On a side note temari getting more acquainted with shikamaru's family hehe...i like the direction of that.
I second all of what you said up there and I'll add something: Kishi is spamming Kekkei Genkai techniques way too much! They're supposed to be rare...very rare, yet we see a whole platoon using the laser element, and another one using lava element. They're supposed to be unique to Darui and Kurotsuchi!
Anyone noticed the Sarutobi clan being mentioned, ops..i mean shown actually. I didn't know there were other sarutobis out there.
- Nice group tactics...
- Ksihi just threw that Sarutobi clan thing in there lol.
- The Jyuubi's perfect from oh boy...
Fire type
What chakra type are you?
The sarutobi clan is a bit of a head scratchier for me. On one hand you have uchiha and senju, two central clans to not only to konaha but the entire shinobi world. Uchiha were wiped out and no mention was ever made of the senju past the second and fifth hokages. On the other hand you have a main character, sasuke, who is an uchiha named after a sarutobi; specifically, the third hokage's father. From another thread we decided that the sarutobi were companion to uchiha and senju and sasuke sarutobi was a buddy or of significant role to both hashirama and madara. So, with all of that in mind, along with the up to now undisclosed fate of principal clans to sudden appearance of the sarutobi clan in number ...
Will we finally start seeing senju or perhaps learn what became of them? They are the last group remaining lost in mystery and unknown so i have fingers crossed that they get some time in the coming chapters to have their story told.
Tsunade's parents would be a good start if you ask me.
Obito is shown to be succumbing more and more to talk no jutsu and naruto's "radiant rikkoudo" energy. Obito is seeing the shinobi united and of one accord (thanks in part to naruto, a big part) and realizing how it was once his dream and mistakenly abandoned. Madara's words hit obito hard, specifically "its hard to believe the shinobi of different villages could pull off such a perfect combo".. obito's face is telling, because how could he have known someone would succeed in pulling off the miracle of bringing everyone together and saving the world? The mere presence of the shinobi alliance proves clearly to obito that infinite tsukiyomi is not the answer. I give him 5 chapters or less before he turns away from madara and the moon's eye plan.
Rereading chapters 550 to 600 i was able to answer some questions but raise new ones...
Kabuto's motives using edo tensei to help tobi in the "war" was to exchange indestructible combatants for access to sasuke. His reason for using a haxxd up madara is, however, still a mystery and how it is a trump card can go several ways.
Orochimaru wanted sage mode but lacked two things. First, a body that can handle it (kabuto informs us that some bodies are incompatible and cannot handle natural energy/sage chakra) and second, the location of the dragon sage "dojo"
Juugi's clan received it's natural energy capacity from the dragon sage. The "cursed seal" effect resembles the juubi in that they can be defined as a chaotic and destructive force.
Orochimaru's scroll was specifically said to be DATA! data is a type of information that usually can eschew instruction.
Suigetsu was surprised that "even someone like orochimaru could have this" which means that whatever that data was was dealing with ultimate forces well above the level of sannin. Madara, hashirama, and so6p and sons are the only ppl at the level that can make orochimaru be addressed with "even someone like him".
Secret scroll = data of ultimate powers, exudes natural energy, affords taking control of the war, tied to "the human who knows everything "
Obito is Tobirama's great grandson. The proof is in the pudding.
LOL@ everyone from the rock having kekkei genkai (youton).
You guys seem kinda hung up on sudden kekkei genkai showing up en mass.
Kekkei Genkai = a term used to describe an ability to mix two or more natural element into a single jutsu.
Kekkei Genkai jutsus can be performed by two people with different natural element mixing their natural element, no? Though it is kinda hard to believe they can achieve this combo without some measure of training.

St. Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians 4:6-15
Prokeimenon. Mode Plagal 2.
Psalm 27.9,1
O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance.
Verse: To you, O Lord, I have cried, O my God.
Brethren, it is the God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, to show that the transcendent power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For while we live we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you.
Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, "I believed, and so I spoke," we too believed, and so we speak, knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into His presence. For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.

Biology I
About the test
In 2014-2015, Washington switched to the Common Core and replaced some of its End-of-Course (EOC) exams with Common Core aligned tests for reading and math subjects. The EOC currently tests Biology and are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.

Smarter Balanced Assessment
Showing results for all students
English Language Arts
About the test
The Smarter Balanced member states, including Washington, have approved a set of recommendations on achievement levels that help to describe student performance on the new assessments. The achievement levels serve as a starting point for discussion about the performance of individual students and of groups of students in English language arts (ELA) and math. There are other measures that students, teachers, and parents can also use to help evaluate the academic progress of students and schools, such as scale scores, growth models, and portfolios of student work. Smarter Balanced tests align to the new K-12 learning standards in English language arts and math (Common Core), which are more difficult than previous standards. As with any change, there will be a period of adjustment as teachers and students get used to the new standards and tests. Lower proficiency rates do not necessarily mean that schools are performing worse or that students are learning less. It means the tests have changed and are measuring different skills. Smarter Balanced tests have been specifically developed to measure real-world skills that students will need when they graduate. We expect this dip in proficiency to be temporary.

Review: The Object of Nostalgia at A+D Gallery
February 15, 2010 · Print This Article
I was a bit behind the curve when it came to checking out The Object of Nostalgia, up through this Saturday, February 12th at Columbia College's A+D Gallery, having only learned about it last week in conjunction with the CAA panel on the same topic. The show's central organizing question–what is worthy to speak about when one is making "important" art?–is of great personal interest (I'm also keen to apply that same question to criticism, but that's another post). So any exhibition that takes an unapologetic look at our (so-called) "nostalgic" connection to the object in contemporary art-making, or as the curators put it, contemplates the nature of "sentimentality and its conflicted relation to contemporary art" is a most welcome thing for me to behold and overall, a project to which I'm pretty much automatically sympathetic.
Curators Rene Marquez and Lance Winn invited four artists to participate in the show, and asked each of them to select another artist whose work resonated with the exhibition's themes. This all worked quite well, and the result is an exhibition filled with strong pieces, in which aesthetic genres such as portraiture, ceramics, the family snapshot (framed and resting on shelves, no less) and even 19th century dog paintings make a return. I especially liked Dawn Gavin's altered paper map pieces, which serve to remind us that in the age of augmented reality, the two dimensional map has already gone the way of the LP record. Although I tend to think maps alone are compelling enough to contemplate as-is, Gavin's delicate incursions into the map-as-physical object changed my mind. They're surgically precise yet seem to tremble with unspoken feeling.
I also thought Clayton Merrell's paintings were terrific (the one featured in the catalogue is actually not in the show). They're old fashioned plein-air type landscapes in oils and egg tempera, but their surfaces have been brushed over, scratched and scraped and otherwise distressed, if you will, in a manner that suggests a desire to caress the surface, perhaps to the point of being unable to leave it alone.
What's more, Merrill adds all manner of abstract geometric as well as biomorphic forms to his open skyscapes–sunbursts, droplets, along with numerous fractal elements that skitter and unfold and otherwise ladder their way across his compositions. Like all great paintings, Merrill's look better in real life than they do in reproduction, so try and see them in person if at all possible.
There's not a single bad piece in the show. I would, however, have liked to have seen a lot more of Julia Lothrop's tiny oil portraits — there are only two on view here, not enough to make the impact that I'm betting a whole long row of them would have made. Also: if this is the same Julia Lothrop who is a RISD alumni and makes cloth dolls out of vintage fabric — someone made a very grave error in not including those dolls in this show as opposed to the more acceptable little oil paintings. I shouldn't have to elaborate why – take another look at the show's main argument. But if it's not the same Julia Lothrop, then, uh, scratch that.
I also liked Elaine Rutherford's installation very much, but wished that the small video screen of lapping waves wasn't part of it. It's not that I'm against the presence of technology in a show like this, I just didn't want my attention to be taken away, even for a second, from the gilded porcelain cabbage leaves strewn on the wooden shelf before me.

text: Braves' new world. By the way - although Salty was the supposed mainstay of this deal for the Rangers - Feliz who is now at AA Frisco for the rangers - and who throws the ball in excess of 100mph may be the steal of the deal. By Jamey Newberg July 27, 2008On Saturday, Jarrod Saltalamacchia doubled in two runs with two outs in the second, drew a walk and scored on Josh Hamilton's game-busting bomb in the fifth, singled and scored on Michael Young's two-run single in the seventh, and struck out in the eighth. On Saturday, Matt Harrison earned his second big league win, his first on the road, giving up one earned run in five innings of work. He was pitching to Saltalamacchia, who had caught him in the Gulf Coast League in 2003 (both players' debut season), and in the Southern League in 2006 and 2007. Saltalamacchia has caught both of Harrison's big league wins. He didn't catch Harrison's loss or his no-decision. On Saturday in Frisco, Elvis Andrus singled in the first, homered in the third (off righthander Will Inman, one of San Diego's top prospects), was drilled with two outs and nobody on in the fifth -- and proceeded to steal second, and singled in the seventh and proceeded to steal second -- his 40th swipe of the season -- forcing a bad throw that allowed Julio Borbon to score from third and Andrus to scamper to third himself. On Saturday in Frisco, Beau Jones made his AA debut. The 21-year-old lefthander's work: strikeout swinging, groundout, strikeout swinging, ground-ball double, flyout, groundout, groundout, line-out, strikeout swinging. That's 2.2 scoreless innings, one hit, no walks, three strikeouts. Threw 22 of his 34 pitches for strikes. On Saturday, Neftali Feliz, up to 99 innings of work this year (17.2 frames more than his three-year pro total coming into the season), didn't pitch. The Rangers' number one prospect, according to Baseball America and many others, is not hurt. He's fine. Mike Hindman reports this morning on the Dallas Morning News blog, in fact, that Feliz, according to the Rangers, will pitch tomorrow. Saltalamacchia is playing at the same level he was at when Texas acquired him from Atlanta almost exactly one year ago. Harrison is playing two levels up. Andrus is playing one level up. Jones is playing two levels up. Feliz is playing three levels up. The Braves, five games under .500, 6.5 games back (and three teams) in the NL East, and hopelessly out of the Wild Card race, are trying to decide whether to trade Mark Teixeira in the next four days, measuring whether they'd be better off accepting one of the offers from a reportedly diminishing list of suitors (the Dodgers, Angels, and Red Sox are apparently the most interested) or just keeping Teixeira for the next two months and getting a couple compensatory draft picks for him. Not sure whether Manny Ramirez's possible entry into this week's trade mix affects Teixeira's market. Teixeira is having another outstanding season. But Atlanta, after having gone to the playoffs 14 non-strike years out of 15, will not have gone to the playoffs in two seasons with him. Meanwhile, Ron Mahay is in Kansas City and might be the most coveted left-handed reliever on the market right now. Have a great day.

ARTIST ROOMS Louise Bourgeois, A Woman Without Secrets
- 26th October 2013 − 18th May 2014
- Modern One (Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art) | Free
- Artist Rooms
The National Galleries of Scotland is proud to announce a major presentation of works by the great French-American artist Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) in an exhibition entitled Louise Bourgeois, A Woman Without Secrets at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. Highlighting her late work, the exhibition is a first showing of an outstanding collection of works by Louise Bourgeois now on loan to the national ARTIST ROOMS programme, including Poids (1993), Couple I (1996), Cell XIV (Portrait) (2000), Eyes (2001-2005), and two late masterpieces, the cycle of 16 monumental drawings A L'Infini (2008-2009) and the artist's final vitrine, Untitled (2010). These works will be augmented by important loans from Tate, The Easton Foundation and private collections. This exhibition will reveal how Bourgeois, working in a variety of materials and scales, explores the mystery and beauty of human emotions.
Louise Bourgeois, A Woman Without Secrets has been organised in collaboration with Jerry Gorovoy of the Louise Bourgeois Studio and The Easton Foundation, which has very generously lent a number of major sculptural works including Spiral Woman (1984) and a giant Spider from 1994. The exhibition is further augmented through the loan of several key works from Tate's collection, including Avenza (1968-9), Cell (Eyes and Mirrors) (1989-93) and a group of late works in red gouache, dating from 2007-9.
Complementing the exhibition, The Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh will be presenting a major exhibition of Bourgeois's works on paper. Louise Bourgeois: I Give Everything Away, curated by Frances Morris (Tate Modern) features the artist's Insomnia Drawings (1994-95), a remarkable suite of 220 drawings and writings on loan from the Daros Collection, alongside two suites of large-scale mixed-media drawings made during the last years of the artist's life. This exhibition also opens on 26 October, and runs until 23 February 2014.
A fully illustrated catalogue will be published to accompany the exhibition at Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, made possible with support from Hauser & Wirth, Cheim & Read and The Easton Foundation.

President Obama called the incoming prime minister of India on Friday to pledge support and cooperation.
Obama also invited Narendra Modi to visit Washington "at a mutually agreeable time," a White House statement said.
"The president noted he looks forward to working closely with Mr. Modi to fulfill the extraordinary promise of the U.S.-India strategic partnership, and they agreed to continue expanding and deepening the wide-ranging cooperation between our two democracies," the statement said.
The Associated Press reported:
"Opposition leader Narendra Modi will be India's next prime minister, winning the most decisive election victory the country has seen in more than a quarter century and sweeping the long-dominant Congress party from power, partial results showed Friday.
"Modi's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party was winning in enough seats in the lower house of Parliament to exceed the 272-seat majority needed to create a government without forming a coalition with smaller parties, the Election Commission said."

Lambert drew this figure in rough outline as a study for the central standing figure (Henry Lawson) in his Henry Lawson memorial sculpture (cat.121). As with his study Old man with pipe (cat.103), Lambert's interest was with capturing the overall pose of the man. He did not sign this work.
Lambert worked on his designs for this sculpture after Lawson had died, from photographs and memories of the writer. He used models to pose for the figures. In his pose for Lawson, Lambert wanted to show him making the gesture he often did when he was searching for a thought.
Lambert may well have also referred to prototypes from the history of art (as with so many of his works). As Daniel Thomas has suggested, Lambert's loose-kneed, gesturing figure hints at an over-relaxed condition (as a result of inebriation), in a pose resembling that of Michelangelo's 'unclassically tipsy' marble sculpture Bacchus 1497 (Museo Nazionale del Bargello, Florence; Thomas, pp.13–14). Like Michelangelo, Lambert gave his figure a high centre of gravity.
