Real-life stories of out-of-body experiences, encountering a special light, greeters from the afterlife, life reviews, tunnels, and 360-degree vision - are all part of this intriguing look at near-death experiences (NDEs) by one of the world's noted authorities, P.M.H. Atwater. Atwater shares her amazing findings, based on her sessions with more than 4,000 adults and children, and over 40 years of research; a breathtaking culmination to a successful and controversial career.
Atwater examines every aspect of the near-death phenomenon: from first-hand accounts of survivors experiencing flash forwards, waking up in morgues, and developing psychic abilities, to stunning cases of groups experiencing NDEs together. Atwater offers statistics from her findings to show the distinctive common patterns that people experience, as well as the common aftereffects and how it changed their lives.
She also explores the physiological and spiritual changes that result from near-death experiences and looks at the connections between the NDE experience and what is often called "enlightenment." Near Death Experiences provides a glimpse of not only what lies beyond the veil of our temporal existence, but points to what - or who - we really are and what we are meant to be.

"Deep and Heart felt"
A very deep and interesting spiritual and scientific listen of NDE. Learned a lot. Clinical in explanations at times but the overall picture is sound, uniform and very interesting.
"Well done research"
The authors extensive experience shows profoundly in this wonderful book. It was so good I had to buy the paper version.
"Too much like a text book"
I very much enjoy books on NDE and have enjoyed listening to some of the best of them.. This one, however, I didn't find that interesting.. It's written like a text book, half the time I realized my mind had wandered elsewhere because so much of it was just so very uninteresting.. There are interesting parts here and there, but I'd much rather listen to accounts of NDE as told by the person, not having someone tell a very short Readers Digest account of someone else's experience, then dissect it in her own opinion... Just wasn't that interesting..
"The headline of the book sounds good but"
There is no story like I expected. It was like listening to a text book without a story line. Very disappointing.
"Some good information but a lot of author theories"
Probably not.
70% of the book is theories about the reason for NDEs by the author with words saying why she believes this but there really is little backing for it. If she gathered the information interviewing NDE'rs she shares little of that to back this 70%. She also basically says everything is true. She talks about the creator and evolution one sentence after another and other opposites. Sorry not everything can be true. Be very careful with this book. I would only believe the NDE stories and the thoughts directly derived from them. There is also a great deal of leaning towards psychics. Maybe it is my bias but I see a difference between NDEs and what psychics do.
No scenes in this book but the actual NDE reported stories are the best part of the book. But be ready to listen to lots of theories that are unsubstantiated in between.
All the theorizing and word lists that I still don't understand.
There are many much better books about NDE's out there. Be very careful with this one as not all of this book is fact. Much of it is supposition and some is out right contradictory. The parts of this book I believe to be true are much better presented in other NDE books like Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences.
"Not my cup of tea"
The story seems jumbled, I was looking for NDE stories, this is all over the place with few stories. Hard to follow for me just not what I had hoped
"Needs fact-checking"
While the subject is fascinating and provocative, the author reaches too many conclusions, stating them as facts when they are not facts at all. This created for me a lack of trust in the other material presented in the book. But the sheer number of cases which the author states that she has researched makes for a compelling case for NDE's as a real phenomenon. But the overstatement of many of her conclusions left me hard pressed to know what to believe and what not to believe.
No, but I may remain skeptical because of it.
Competent and well-spoken.
The large number of cases of NDE's (over 3000?) that the author claims to have researched was a surprising number and lends some credibility to the phenomena.
One of the best books written on the NDE experience I've ever read. This book will be a classic.
"More Science Than Story"
If you are interested in the science behind NDEs, you may enjoy this book. Not enough details about the NDEs themselves. Because of that, can't recommend.

The Greek Orthodox Mar Saba Monastery in the Judean Desert east of Bethlehem seems to hang precariously from the walls of the Kidron Valley. But it is as sturdy as the faith it represents: it was built some 1,500 years ago, and is one of the oldest still-inhabited monasteries in the world. Like the Monastery of St. George to the north, Mar Saba was founded by monks seeking solitude and to emulate the prophets, Jesus and John the Baptist. Originally they lived in caves, but as their founder Mar (Saint) Saba gained fame for his piety, the monastery was built.
Its dramatic view is a highlight of a trip that many Christian groups enjoy, traveling by four-wheel-drive vehicles that can navigate every corner of the desert. Some visitors even hike down to the monastery, which women can view from the Women's Tower, and men can enter to see the church where the remains of St. Saba are preserved.

A few months after the Berlin Wall came down in 1989, my wife and I were wandering around the eastern part of that city and came upon a little antique shop, where the last vestiges of the old Communist ways were slowly being flushed out, much to the owner's dismay.
Under the Soviet-backed regime, he told us through our translator friend, he'd had a dozen employees to staff a business that would have fit in the average American living room, with space left over for a bratwurst stand and a beer garden. All those workers were paid by the state. In fact, the shop owner got his paycheck from the government, too, since his cheesy junk emporium never turned anything that remotely resembled a profit.
He snorted (in German) at the mention of that word (also in German). It wasn't about profit he said, it was about jobs. And if we didn't buy something, he wasn't going to have one for long.
We did our bit for the fledgling market-based economy by purchasing a "guaranteed authentic," Lucite-encased piece of the now-defunct wall. Never let it be said I don't care about jobs.
Actually, I don't care about some jobs. Particularly if they're phony ones like those subsidized by the former commie government. I'm also not much of a fan of pseudo-capitalist promises of jobs, when they serve as inducements to win support for political positions that are about as sustainable as the old East German economy.
For example, even though I have no problem with gambling, I was turned off by the ad campaign last year for a racino in Biddeford that barely mentioned its real purpose. Instead it stressed that it was all about jobs. In spite of a sell that was harder than a Lucite case, the plan to legalize slot machines went down to defeat, in part because voters believed its proponents were being deceptive weasels.
I was reminded of the failed racino on January 24 when I read an op-ed in the Bangor Daily News by Jeremy Payne, the executive director of the Maine Renewable Energy Association. Payne is pushing a referendum that may be on the ballot later this year to increase the amount of wind power and other alternative-energy sources that Mainers use. But he devotes precious little space to that aspect of the proposed law. Instead, he says it's all about jobs.
Payne insists the measure will create "hundreds of jobs." He contends they'll be "manufacturing, engineering and construction jobs." He's sure the referendum is "the right idea to put people back to work" and reminds his readers that "Maine needs jobs." In all, he cites jobs and employment at least eight times.
He mentions wind turbines once.
I checked carefully, but couldn't find anything about gambling, although that could be hidden in there, too.
Supporters of this effort to require that 20 percent of Maine's electricity comes from new renewable sources do have something to say about how much such a mandate will reduce electric bills.
Beth Nagusky of Maine Citizens for Clean Energy told a State House news conference on January 18, "Nobody has a crystal ball and can accurately predict energy prices, but we have looked at a range of assumptions in doing our analysis, and we believe it will lower prices over time."

Family: Carangidae, Jacks view all from this family
Description The crevalle jack, Caranx hippos (also known as the common jack, black-tailed trevally, couvalli jack, black cavalli and yellow cavalli) is a common species of large marine fish classified within the jack family, Carangidae. The crevalle jack is distributed across the tropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic Ocean, ranging from Nova Scotia, Canada to Uruguay in the west Atlantic and Portugal to Angola in the east Atlantic, including the Mediterranean Sea. The crevalle jack is distinguishable from similar species by its deep body, fin colouration and a host of more detailed anatomical features including fin ray and lateral line scale counts. It is one of the largest fish in the genus Caranx, growing to a maximum known length of 124 cm and a weight of 32 kg, although is rare at lengths greater than 60 cm. The crevalle jack inhabits both inshore and offshore waters to depths of around 350 m, predominantly over reefs, bays, lagoons and occasionally estuaries. Young fish dispersed north by currents in the eastern Atlantic are known to migrate back to more tropical waters before the onset of winter; however if the fish fail to migrate, mass mortalities occur as the temperature falls below the species tolerance limits.
Habitat Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Ocean or bay shallows, Open ocean, Rivers & streams, Tidepools.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, Texas, California, Eastern Canada.

180-proof? No thanks! I enjoy not going blind.
It was a pretty good episode, but I didn't think the ending felt right at all, it stank of "we're building up a new story arc!!!" and it didn't help that the big baddie actress was a regular on a recently-canned FX series. Raylan took care of business without drawing and killing people, without even running his weapon, that was pretty slick. I did feel like the aspect with Deputy whatshername got lost though. But there were a few Raylan moments that felt spot-on.

First talk in President's Lecture Series set, Nov. 21
Posted November 15, 2006; 11:38 p.m.
Simon Morrison, associate professor of music, will present the first talk in this year's President's Lecture Series on Tuesday, Nov. 21.
He will speak on "The Unknown Prokofiev" at 4:30 p.m. in McCosh 10.
Morrison will discuss his efforts to track down lost scores and choreographies as part of his research for a forthcoming monograph with Oxford University Press. In 2005, Morrison and colleagues re-created the choreography, costumes and elaborate mechanical set of one of the great lost ballets of the 20th century, "Le Pas d'Acier" by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev. This spring, Morrison will co-produce a staging of "Boris Godunov" featuring a Prokofiev score that has never been used for a live performance of Alexander Pushkin's play.
Morrison, who earned his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1997, focuses his research on Russian and Soviet music (especially ballet and opera), French and Russian Symbolism, and neo-classicism. In 2007-08, he will be working with choreographer Mark Morris on a restoration of the ballet "Romeo and Juliet."
The lecture series was initiated by President Shirley M. Tilghman in 2001 to bring together faculty members from different disciplines. The other lecturers scheduled for this year are: Andrew Moravcsik, professor of politics and director of the European Union Program, on Wednesday, March 28; and Elizabeth Gould, professor of psychology, on Wednesday, April 25.
The lectures will be webcast; for viewing information, visit Webmedia.

Missing GSP- repost
My name is Jon I am new to the forums but I have been a follower for a while. My friend Curt took our GSP to Kansas on Monday and hunted all day around Clay Center KS (Milford wetlands wildlife area) on the west side of Milford Lake between 11th and 12th rd. "Bullitt" our Gsp got spooked around dark and would not load up in the truck for some reason and ran away from the group. At about 9pm they decided to find a local hotel and return to the area at first light, they also left a carpet from the dog box and a shirt. When the guys returned to the area the next morning he was nowhere to be found, they then chose to hunt the same area all day tuesday but didnt have any luck spotting my dog. This dog actually belongs to my 14yr old son who right now is needless to say devastated! I am kicking myself right now for letting our young dog go hunting without me but I thought it best for him to make the trip to find some wild birds. Bullitt unfortunately is not chipped and had no id collar on when he ran off. If anyone has any info or any people that they can contact in the area for us it would be much appreciated, I want to have a happy Christmas and not a sad one! Thanks to everyone especially Hunter for all that has been done already. Curt and I have contacted many people already including the regional game office, landowners, farmers, and locals in town including the radio station. A reward will be paid for his safe return. Bullitt is liver roan patched and ticked with a solid liver head, I will upload a pic tomorrow, Jon 423-421-2751

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|When my daughter was going to school out in Marquette, I fished the Whitefish and Escanaba a few times with moderate success. I relied on local advice and cross referenced a book: "Trout Streams of Michigan" by Janet D. Mehl and Co. which is very dry and business-like but pretty thorough in it's coverage.
Michigan advise
Hello all,
I'll be in Michigan on a family vaction the last week in June first week in July and I was wondering if there is anyone on the site that has some first hand experiance on the were's and the how's of the area. From what I can tell it looks like our timing sould be good for the famed Michigan Caddis (Hex) hatch. We'll be camping along the west coast then up into the U.P. (Pictured Rocks) then back down RT 75 into the Indian River / Grayling area. Any input on the trout and things to do w/ the family would be apprieciated.

1D Tells You How To Catch Your Crush's Eye!
Even if your friends insist it was a long-time coming, when you're still in shock, it's common to feel like the split came out of nowhere. Like one minute you're the adorbs couple everyone wants to be—and the next you're sitting home crying and watching The Notebook on repeat. Even if it feels like your BFFs don't understand, anyone who's gone through a breakup has been there. Even super-star Jenette McCurdy knows what it's like to feel blindsided by the end of relationship. Jennette and ex Andre Drummond were the cutest couple—constantly tweeting each other, and then next thing you know, they were totally dunzo.
How To Get Throught It: When you're still reeling from the shock of a split, it's easy to focus on all the great times you had together and ignore the bad. But remember, you didn't just randomly breakup. Regardless of who officially called it quits first, there was a reason you didn't work out. Try not to obsess over what happened or who did what; instead focus on what's next for you.
After dating the same person for awhile, you get used to having someone to hang out with all the time and text when you're bored, and it's tempting to fill that void by jumping into another relationship right away. The problem is your post-split judgement tends to be a little impaired, which means like Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev, you might rebound with the first guy who flirts with you next—even if they're totally wrong for you. After splitting from Ian Somerhalder, Nina jumped into the arms of her BFF Julianne Hough's bro—Derek. While dating your bestie's bro could end in disaster when things go south, lucky for Nina it looks like even though her rebound-ship did last long, her friendship survived.
How To Get Through It: Adjusting to being single again is rough, but moving on too quickly can land you in the wrong relationship and lead to another breakup (or worse, the end of a friendship!).

New Mexico Supreme Court ruled unanimously that a photographer who would not accept an assignment to photograph a gay commitment ceremony was guilty of discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The court's position
The gay spokesperson:Quote:
The Huguenins today can no more turn away customers on the basis of their sexual orientation photographing a same-sex marriage ceremony than they could refuse to photograph African-Americans or Muslims, Justice Richard Bosson wrote in the courts unanimous decision.
But there is a price, one that we all have to pay somewhere in our civic life, the justice wrote. The Huguenins have to channel their conduct, not their beliefs, so as to leave space for other Americans who believe something different. That compromise is part of the glue that holds us together as a nation, the tolerance that lubricates the varied moving parts of us as a people.
While my position on gay "marriage" is one that favors civil unions with the same rights as herterosexuals, I'm not sure I agree with compelling a someone to participate in someone else's religious ceremony which stands for values a person cannot condone.Quote:
Its about discrimination, she said. Its not religious rights versus gay rights. We have a law on the books that makes it illegal to discriminate against LGBT persons. It makes it illegal for business to do that and this business broke the law by discriminating against this couple.
It seems different to me to treat LGBTs equally in all legal and social respects v. asking someone to participate in their religious beliefs. Participating voluntarily would be different as well v. compulsion by threat of legal action, and the articles cites "thousands of dollars in fines."
I'm just not sure about this.

March Days I, 1883
Max Klinger
German, 1857 - 1920
etching and aquatint on japan paper
62.5 x 45.5 cm; plate: 46 x 35.7 cm
Purchased 1978
National Gallery of Canada (no. 23131.10)
Although the title refers to the March Revolution of 1848, Klinger intended these three etchings to illustrate a fictional revolution in contemporary (1883) Berlin. The current mood in the city was explosive due both to economic hardship among the lower classes and to the Bismarck government's adoption of the so-called "Socialist Laws" of 1878, which forbade meetings of socialist and communist organizations and the distribution of their literature. In the first print, a rowdy group of revolutionaries celebrates a victory. In the foreground, rebels walk arm-in-arm, while in the background the crowd plunders a wealthy house. In the second composition, rebels fight a losing battle. From left to right, figures range from those standing and fighting to those dead and fleeing. At the far right, an apparition expressing utter hopelessness stands under an advertising column. In the final print, armed soldiers lead a convoy of rebels away from the city through a romantic, moonlit landscape. This scene of sombre darkness reflects the end of the failed revolution.

These are lean times for tourism. One of the few bright spots on the horizon is China, where increasing numbers of wealthy residents are looking to visit other countries now that they are permitted to do so. New Zealand is competing with 140 other destinations to attract them and appears to be doing quite well.
Heavy investment by airlines and airports has seen Chinese visitor numbers grow from about 30,000 in 2000 to around 180,000 this year. The Chinese do not stay long - an average of six days, 10 fewer than the average overall - but their total spending while here exceeds that of British visitors, making China already our second largest tourism market, behind Australia.
China's largest airline, Guangzhou-based China Southern Airlines, began daily flights to Auckland a year ago and its promotion of this destination has been credited with much of the growth. It is bringing 250 Chinese travel agents to Auckland next month to see the region's attractions and meet business leaders.
What a pity then, that the Government has done a deal with China Southern to relax visa requirements for its frequent flyer card holders, raising questions in Parliament last week. In itself, the deal sounds innocuous - passengers wealthy enough to be frequent flyers will not face the usual requirement to show they have sufficient funds to support themselves - but Immigration New Zealand should not be doing this sort of deal with a single airline no matter how beneficial it has been. Immigration Minister Nathan Guy said the visitors would still need a visa to enter and still face health and character checks. But the deal has worried the department's Intelligence Risk and Integrity Division which is annoyed that it was not consulted until the discussions were well advanced.
Its manager said in an internal memo leaked to Winston Peters: "One of the key risks is imported criminality but because this is not a recognised adverse outcome for Immigration NZ it seems to be ignored." The manager believed the deal "sets a dangerous precedent" and he said China Southern's record in supplying correct passenger information was "very patchy".
Mr Peters has thickened the plot by producing a travel magazine article in which SkyCity casino's president of international business boasts of "working closely with China Southern Airlines to bring VIP gamblers into Auckland seamlessly". The article said, "the casino was in talks to make the visa process easier".
The minister says he is not aware of any SkyCity involvement in the deal and the casino says that while it was "always talking to the Government" about easing customers' visa requirements, it was not involved in China Southern's arrangement. There is nothing to suggest the deal will allow criminals to enter the country more easily. The removal of an obligation to show evidence of sufficient funds would not make much difference to a high roller who wanted to come here to spend ill-gotten gains at the casino. The suggestion is an unfair smear on the airline and its card holders in the absence of any evidence to support it.
But it is the sort of slight the Government invites when it gets too close to a commercial operator. Its pokie deal with SkyCity is still under an Audit Office investigation.
China Southern Airlines is clearly doing well for New Zealand and itself but so is Air New Zealand on its China services. If immigration can safely do anything to ease travel it should do so for all. It should not be in one airline's favour.

Zovirax Injection
(acyclovir sodium) for Injection
ZOVIRAX is the brand name for acyclovir, a synthetic nucleoside analog active against herpesviruses. Acyclovir sodium for injection is a sterile lyophilized powder for intravenous administration only. Each 500-mg vial contains 500 mg of acyclovir and 49 mg of sodium, and each 1,000-mg vial contains 1,000 mg acyclovir and 98 mg of sodium. Reconstitution of the 500-mg or 1,000-mg vials with 10 mL or 20 mL, respectively, of Sterile Water for Injection, USP results in a solution containing 50 mg/mL of acyclovir. The pH of the reconstituted solution is approximately 11. Further dilution in any appropriate intravenous solution must be performed before infusion (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Method of Preparation and Administration).
Acyclovir sodium is a white, crystalline powder with the molecular formula C8H10N5NaO3 and a molecular weight of 247.19. The maximum solubility in water at 25°C exceeds 100 mg/mL. At physiologic pH, acyclovir sodium exists as the un-ionized form with a molecular weight of 225 and a maximum solubility in water at 37°C of 2.5 mg/mL. The pka's of acyclovir are 2.27 and 9.25.
The chemical name of acyclovir sodium is 2-amino-1,9-dihydro-9-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-6H-purin-6-one monosodium salt; it has the following structural formula:
Mechanism of Antiviral Action: Acyclovir is a synthetic purine nucleoside analogue with in vitro and in vivo inhibitory activity against herpes simplex virus types 1 (HSV-1), 2 (HSV-2), and varicella-zoster virus (VZV).
The inhibitory activity of acyclovir is highly selective due to its affinity for the enzyme thymidine kinase (TK) encoded by HSV and VZV. This viral enzyme converts acyclovir into acyclovir monophosphate, a nucleotide analogue. The monophosphate is further converted into diphosphate by cellular guanylate kinase and into triphosphate by a number of cellular enzymes. In vitro, acyclovir triphosphate stops replication of herpes viral DNA. This is accomplished in 3 ways: 1) competitive inhibition of viral DNA polymerase, 2) incorporation into and termination of the growing viral DNA chain, and 3) inactivation of the viral DNA polymerase. The greater antiviral activity of acyclovir against HSV compared to VZV is due to its more efficient phosphorylation by the viral TK.
Antiviral Activities: The quantitative relationship between the in vitro susceptibility of herpes viruses to antivirals and the clinical response to therapy has not been established in humans, and virus sensitivity testing has not been standardized. Sensitivity testing results, expressed as the concentration of drug required to inhibit by 50% the growth of virus in cell culture (IC50), vary greatly depending upon a number of factors. Using plaque-reduction assays, the IC50 against herpes simplex virus isolates ranges from 0.02 to 13.5 mcg/mL for HSV-1 and from 0.01 to 9.9 mcg/mL for HSV-2. The IC50 for acyclovir against most laboratory strains and clinical isolates of VZV ranges from 0.12 to 10.8 mcg/mL. Acyclovir also demonstrates activity against the Oka vaccine strain of VZV with a mean IC50 of 1.35 mcg/mL.
Drug Resistance: Resistance of HSV and VZV to acyclovir can result from qualitative and quantitative changes in the viral TK and/or DNA polymerase. Clinical isolates of HSV and VZV with reduced susceptibility to acyclovir have been recovered from immunocompromised patients, especially with advanced HIV infection. While most of the acyclovir-resistant mutants isolated thus far from such patients have been found to be TK-deficient mutants, other mutants involving the viral TK gene (TK partial and TK altered) and DNA polymerase have been isolated. TK-negative mutants may cause severe disease in infants and immunocompromised adults. The possibility of viral resistance to acyclovir should be considered in patients who show poor clinical response during therapy.
What are the possible side effects of acyclovir injection (Zovirax)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using acyclovir and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- urinating less than usual or not at all;
- fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms;
- a red, blistering, peeling skin rash;
- jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
- swelling, pain, tenderness, or skin changes where the injection was given;
- pale skin, easy bruising or...

About Willamette Valley(will-AAM-it)
Named for the river that runs through the valley from Portland to Eugene, Willamette Valley is home to some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the Northwest. While along the same north/south line as Seattle, the Willamette Valley is protected from Pacific rains by the Coast Range on the western border and the Cascade Ranges to the east. Though sunshine is typically plentiful, rainfall can occasionally be tricky, and the wines here vary vintage to vintage. Within the Willamette Valley is a number of sub-regions, including McMinnville, Dundee and Yamhill.
Notable FactsThe valley is known for its Pinots – Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. With a climate similar to Burgundy – in rainfall, sunlight hours and other climate factors – Pinot Noir has flourished here. Pinot Noir in Oregon produces wines that are fruit forward, yet complex, some with good agebility.
Other than Pinot Noir, many wineries grow Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Pinot Gris from Oregon is delightful in its texture and food friendliness. Chardonnay in the valley adapts well to the cool climate and produces lean, elegant wines.

Angiodysplasia of the colon is swollen, fragile blood vessels in the colon that occasionally result in blood loss from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Vascular ectasia of the colon; Colonic arteriovenous malformation
Angiodysplasia of the colon is mostly related to the aging and degeneration of the blood vessels. It usually occurs in older adults. It is almost always seen on the right side of the colon.
There are several theories about the cause. The most likely cause is that normal spasms of the colon lead to enlargement of blood vessels in the area. This swelling becomes so severe that a small direct passageway develops between a very small artery and vein. This is called an arteriovenous fistula. It is in this area of the colon wall that the patient is at risk for bleeding.
Angiodysplasia of the colon is very rarely related to other diseases of the blood vessels, including
The symptoms vary. Often, in elderly patients, the symptoms are weakness, fatigue, and shortness of breath due to anemia. There may not be any signs of bleeding directly from the colon. Others may have occasional mild or severe bleeding episodes with bright red blood coming from the rectum.
There is no pain associated with angiodysplasia.
Tests that may be done to diagnose this condition include:
It is important to determine what is causing the bleeding in the colon and how fast blood is being lost. You may need to be admitted to a hospital. Fluids may be given through a vein, and blood products may be required.
Other treatment may be needed once the source of bleeding is found. Most patients stop bleeding on their own without any treatment.
If treatment is needed, it may involve:
In some instances, surgery is the only option. Removal of the entire right side of the colon (right hemicolectomy) is the treatment of choice for someone with this condition who continues to bleed at a dangerously quick rate, despite several treatments by angiography and colonoscopy.
Medications (thalidomide and estrogens) may be used to reduce bleeding and the number of angiodysplasias in certain patients.
Patients who have bleeding related to this condition despite having had colonoscopy, angiography, or surgery are likely to have more bleeding in the future.
The outlook remains good if the bleeding is controlled.
Call your health provider if rectal bleeding occurs.
There is no known prevention.

Comment Re:Japanese school "first errand" (Score 1) 784
... help by watching the children from a distance." Why doesn't CPS do that if they're so worried? I mean, it's good that people are looking out for kids. That's fine. So when two smallish kids are reported out by themselves and the cop spots them, why doesn't he or she just watch from a distance to make sure they're okay? Or if cops don't have the time for that, call in CPS who just watches from a distance.
That way they don't have to fix anything that's not broken, AND the kids are definitely safe. Win-win. What am I missing?

3 plan to paddle board across Lake Michigan
Group plans to leave Milwaukee Sunday for 80 mile trip
NORTON SHORES, Mich. - Two brothers and a friend are planning a more than 80-mile crossing of Lake Michigan by sharing time on a paddle board.
Craig Masselink, 23, his 19-year-old brother, Trent Masselink, and their friend 21-year-old Ginny Melby plan to leave Milwaukee on Sunday on what is expected to be a 30-plus hour trip to their families' cottages in West Michigan.
"Pretty much every year we've said, 'Oh, what if we could paddle board across Lake Michigan,' like kind of a joke but kind of dreaming about it," Melby told MLive.com. "So this year, we decided it's now or never, we're just going to go for it.
"My brother Drew is really adventurous and wanted to paddle board across but he lives in Baltimore now and he has a job, so we're going to do it."
Melby lives in Grand Rapids and spent her summers getting to know the Masselinks, who have a cottage next door to her parents' in Norton Shores.
They plan to set off together with one person on the board while the other two are in a 24-foot boat filled with food, water and supplies.
The paddle aims to raise money for the organization Restore International.
"Bob Goff the author, he's a lawyer who started Restore International where he goes over to Uganda and fights for girls who are being sold into prostitution and young guys who are being turned into child soldiers," said Craig Masselink, a pilot and missionary. "He also fights to prosecute those who are doing that. ...
"One of the things in our training paddles that keeps us working hard and digging is thinking about the kids in Africa we're going to be helping with this."

FACEBOOK QUESTION: Will you go to or have you been to an area Christmas Parade this year? Which one? Click here to tells us at DJournalnow Facebook page.
She's the queen of Christmas parades in Pontotoc. Dot Hardin can remember when the very first parade rolled down Main Street in 1953.
"I remember this so vividly because I was a Jaycette and Claude [her husband] was a Jaycee."
Her daughter, Genie, who was a girl at the time, was in that very first parade, "with Mrs. Mooreland's group."
Hardin said as the years went by the Jaycees and Jaycettes had floats in the parade and she was also part of the parade through the Mississippi Antique car Club.
"In 1956 I remember when the cars came for the parade the late Stanley Faulkner filled those old cars with gasoline. We even had people come in from Memphis for that parade."
Hardin said she and her husband had this 1904 Premier Car that they entered the parade one year during those early years of the parade and the announcer couldn't remember what kind of car it was, "and there are only three of them like it in the world."
In fact, years later, "my grandchildren rode in the parade in that old car with the DAR."
Through the years Hardin has been active in participating in the Christmas parade through the Woman's Club and her children's involvement through school and college.
"I have sat through the cold and storms going to the parade," she said. "And people are good to me by letting me stand in front of them since I am so short, sort of like Zaccheus," she joked.
Pontotoc's Christmas Parade this year is Monday at 6:30 p.m. And now that the sixtieth parade is upon us will we find Dot Hardin there?
She smiled.
"Unless I'm deathly sick or the doctor won't let me, I shall be there with bells on."

A couple of stupid errors snuck into packet-0.0.2a release. First of all, the io_request_lock booboo mentioned below. And then I rediscovered (yes, I've done this before) that SCSI uses the request queue queuedata field to store the pointer to the SCSI device. So now I have to copy that and hack around it. Ben created a CDRW branch of the UDF cvs tree, which has the block_empty function to query blocks for data. I'll release a packet-0.0.2b later today with these fixes, plus include the code to query for empty blocks. This last part alone should give us a _huge_ speed increase! I'll be testing just how much before releasing.
Battling with IDE locking, it's a big mess... I've taken the task of rewriting the internal locking upon me, let's see how this goes.

Hualien, Taiwan
Affiliated 1984 Due to the interest of Bellevue citizens of Taiwanese extraction, members of the Bellevue City Council and the Bellevue Sister Cities Association visited Hualien in 1984. They formed an affiliation shortly after that trip.
DemographicsWith a population of more than 110,000, Hualien borders the Pacific Ocean and is the largest city on Taiwan's East Coast. The geographical location yields magnificent scenery.
The Taroko National Park located in Hualien County was established in 1986 and was of special significance for the environmental protection movement in Taiwan. The park is famous for its marble gorge.
Culture Hualien is home to the Ami and Atayal tribes. The government regards aboriginal culture as an integral part of the island's heritage.
Government Structure The City Council has 19 members elected by the citizens of Hualien.
Industry Hualien has been the most important city for commerce in eastern Taiwan. Hualien is the province's leading producer of marble and jade and is known as the City of Marble. Marble fragments are often used as the material for sidewalks, arcades and buildings. Hualien is expected to grow to a more industrial and commercial city in the future.
Visiting Hualien in 2003 City Council members, including Conrad Lee, Chuck Mosher and then-Mayor Connie Marshall joined the BSCA-sponsored tour to sister cities Hualien and Yao. Elementary school children performed several traditional dances in honor of the visiting delegation.
Guardian lion (fu dog) statues dedicated in 2013A delegation from Hualien visited Bellevue in 2013. A festival was held at City Hall during which a new pair of guardian lion statues were officially installed and "awakened" in a dedication ceremony. More than 85 musicians, dancers and other artists performed for an audience of hundreds.
