GERD facts: What you should know By WILLIAM C. DENGLER, MD, FACS Maria Parham Medical Center
Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a problem that you can't get away from. Advertisements bombard us each day and row upon row of boxes, bottles and pills are seen in the drug stores. The reason: GERD is a significant problem that is extremely common and should not be ignored. Approximately 30 percent of the U.S. population suffers from Please see GERD, page 2
Did you know that… • Each year approximately 114,000 Americans are hospitalized and 36,000 die from influenza and its complications? • Influenza, a disease which is preventable by vaccine, is the sixth leading cause of death among U.S. adults? • The injectable vaccine is made from killed virus, so you cannot get influenza from the influenza shot? • It takes two weeks for your body to develop immunity to influenza after the vaccination? • Approximately 50 percent of infected people have no symptoms but are contagious? • Influenza is highly contagious and spread by coughing, sneezing, direct physical contact and contact with objects that carry the virus (such as doorknobs, phones and desktops)? • Influenza, a viral infection, cannot be treated with antibiotics? • The vaccine is safe for pregnant women? In fact, a fever caused by influenza or other infections early in pregnancy can lead to birth defects in an unborn child.
Who should get vaccinated? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone 6 months or older should get a flu vaccine each flu season. It's especially important that the following
Maria Parham Medical Center kicked off the flu season Oct. 7 with a Point of Distribution exercise drill. POD is process where the hospital can quickly dispense medication to a large number of people in the event of a disaster or epidemic. By combining the POD drill with this year's flu shot, a team of healthcare providers were able to administer over 320 flu shots along with gathering information pertinent to the drill in just three hours. groups get vaccinated either because they are at high risk of having serious flu-related complications or because they live with or care for people at high risk for developing flu-related complications: • Pregnant women • Children younger than 5, but especially children younger than 2 years old • People 50 years of age and older
• People of any age with certain chronic medical conditions • People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities • People who live with or care for those at high risk for complications from flu, including: health care workers; household contacts of persons at high risk for complications from the flu; or household contacts and out of home caregivers of chil-
dren less than 6 months of age (these children are too young to be vaccinated)
When to get vaccinated The CDC recommends that people get their seasonal flu vaccine as soon as vaccine becomes available in their community.

FROM PAGE ONE GERD. Its most common symptoms are heartburn, chest pain and regurgitation. GERD can also cause cough, hoarseness, worsening asthma and sore throat. It is caused by a malfunction of the valve located between the stomach and swallowing tube (esophagus) allowing acid that is normally made in the stomach to "reflux" back up into the esophagus. For many, symptoms are mild, but in others severe lifestyle-limiting problems can occur. It is important to understand that GERD is a chronic and progressive disease meaning that it tends to get worse with time and requires lifetime therapy.
In addition, the disease causes esophageal cancer. Approximately 20,000 people will die this year from this deadly disease. The usual treatments offered are medications and pills, which are effective in most patients in resolving their symptoms. About 90 percent of suffers who take acid-reducing medications have their symptoms resolved. While this provides relief, most do not realize that the reflux continues. However, feeling better does not mean their reflux is cured. In fact, it always continues. Maintaining relief requires taking these medicines for life and does not reduce the risk of cancer. There are other therapies available that a GERD sufferer should be made aware of, including minimally
invasive laparoscopic surgery that repairs the faulty valve, reliably stopping the reflux and eliminating the need for medications. More importantly, stopping the reflux reduces the risk of developing cancer. The most important thing is to understand that GERD is a serious, life-long disease, often causing severe symptoms, that carries a cancer risk along with it. Getting a proper evaluation as well as education about the disease is essential for obtaining proper treatment. Take GERD seriously.

How stress affects your health No one likes stress. It makes us anxious and irritable, but does it also make us more likely to have illnesses? It seems so, and not just for the things that come to mind, such as ulcers and high blood pressure. This is a field that is being studied extensively and researchers are learning how stress affect sour lives, especially in regard to such serious illnesses as heart disease and cancer. It has been known for a long time that increased stress in life makes it more likely for you to have infections during the months that follow. The
most serious factors that lead to stress are deaths in the family, divorce and changes in residence or jobs. Statistics have shown that even what we consider to be good changes, such as a raise in pay or moving to a nicer home, are great enough stresses that illnesses are more likely to occur the following year. There is also evidence that anxiety significantly increases irregular heart beats, raises the blood pressure and even affects our ability to fight cancers. Some studies have shown that tumor cells grew faster in patients

who were under stress — the defenses against tumor cells appeared to have decreased in those individuals. Sudden death from irregular heart rhythms has been reported to be more common in people under psychological strain. Blood pressure readings are higher when a person is under stress. There are even reports that diabetes and some forms of arthritis can be related to stress. Just where this will end no one knows, but we do know that for a happy and healthy life it is good to keep stress levels down to a minimum.

Record nearly broken at 19th annual prostate screening Three local physicians — Drs. Linga Vijaya and Adrian Ogle (urologists) and family practice physician Dr. Gary Smith — didn't go home to spend the evening with their families after a busy day at their respective practices Sept. 14. They chose, instead, to assist with a free screening that may enable men in our community to spend more evenings with their families. This is the 19th year that Maria Parham Medical Center has offered free complete prostate screenings for local men. Vijaya has been involved since the very beginning and Ogle came to assist after opening his practice in Henderson a few years ago. Smith was a newcomer to this year's event. (Dr. Kirit Trivedi has helped for many years but happened to be out of town this year on the screening date.) These three physicians,
along with phlebotomists from MPMC and other clinical staff members from Maria Parham and elsewhere, screened 174 men between 5-7 p.m. that evening. This number was second only to the number screened in 2009, which was 181. Research says that men over the age of 50 should see their doctor once a year for a complete medical examination that includes a prostate checkup. The American Cancer Society recommends that men at high risk — African-American men or men who have a father, brother, or son diagnosed with prostate cancer before age 65 — begin screenings at age 45. Men at higher risk — those with multiple family members affected by the disease before age 65 — should start even earlier, at age 40. According to the American Cancer Society's
Key statistics about prostate cancer Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men. The latest American Cancer Society estimates for prostate cancer in the United States for 2011 are as follows: • About 240,890 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed • About 33,720 men will die of prostate cancer
• About one man in six will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. • More than 2 million men in the USA, diagnosed with prostate cancer are still alive today. • Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men. • About one man in 36 will die of prostate cancer.
website, prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer found in American men, next to skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in men, behind only lung cancer. Prostate cancer will affect one man in six during his lifetime, and one man in 36 will die of this disease. More than 2 million men in the United States who have had prostate cancer at some point are still alive today. If you are a male who fits the screening criteria and were not able to come to the event this year, consider calling your family doctor or urologist to make an appointment. Prostate cancer is much more treatable and the survival rate is much higher when detected early.
Drs. Linga Vijaya, Adrian Ogle and Gary Smith volunteered their time at the recent free prostate screening event that takes place annually at Maria Parham Medical Center.

When it comes to the elderly, falls are dangerous Falls in elderly people are a major health problem. Approximately 20 percent of all elderly people have at least one fall each year. These falls usually result in many bruises and lacerations. At other times, the damage is worse — broken bones are common from even relatively minor falls. Often a fracture means the end of independent living, at least for the time it takes the injury to heal. When the fractures occur in the hips or legs, the recovery period may take a couple months and make it quite difficult for a person to get back to his or her normal activities and level of independence. Many things can be done to decrease the risk of falls at home. Failing to see potential hazards leads to many falls so it is important to have good lighting in the home
and to have one's vision checked each year. Avoid the possibility of tripping on the edge of a rug by eliminating, or at least minimizing, the use of area rugs. And, of course, keep all walking areas free of clutter. Hand rails should be installed where there are steps or stairs and slippery areas (in particular), such as bathrooms or porches. Remember that good shoes provide foot protection as well as better traction. A misstep is most likely to occur when one is in a hurry, so slow down. Also, rising too quickly may cause lightheadedness for a moment — just long enough for someone to fall. Medicines can contribute to falls by causing confusion, dizziness, unsteadiness or a brief episode of low blood pressure. Review your medicines with your doctor.
Since telephones are one's source for help in case of injuries, they should be conveniently placed and accessible from the floor if possible. An excellent precaution to take is to enroll those susceptible to falls in an emergency response system that allows the person to contact someone for assistance when they need help after a fall or other physical ailment. Maria Parham Medical Center offers an emergency response system called Lifeline. This system allows users to signal for 24-hour emergency assistance from their homes by simply pressing a button. Lifeline is an immediate response system for emergencies in the home. A speaker telephone unit is installed through the normal household telephone jack and a wireless remote

Preventing ear infections in children Ear infections are one of the most common problems for children in the preschool years. Some children will get repeated infections that never seem to clear up completely. However, keeping the ears free of infection and fluid is very important at this age when so much of a child's learning and social development depends on good hearing. Fortunately, there are many things a parent can do to help protect a young child's ears

from infections. First and foremost, maintain a clean environment. Pollution is a big factor in causing the congestion that will eventually lead to plugged ears, fluid accumulation, and infection. Cigarette smoking is a major cause of irritation to the airways. Children will develop runny noses, congestion of the nasal passages and coughing from cigarette smoke. These conditions predispose them to infections and also prevent
children from resolving infections as easily. Heating with wood or kerosene is another source of pollution which contributes to congestion and infection. Oil, gas and electricity are all cleaner alternatives. For young children, being put to bed with a bottle is a problem. Milk or juice will pool around the Eustachian tube and promote infections.

Combating the three risk factors for heart disease
A person should visit their doctor annually for a complete check-up that includes determining your likelihood of developing heart disease.
How do you fight against the risk of having a heart attack? There is a tremendous amount you can do to decrease your risk of the most common cause of death and you can start at any age. You can fight all three of the major risk factors for heart attacks. You can treat hypertension, you can stop smoking, and you can lower your cholesterol with diet, exercise and medicines. Also, taking one aspirin a day makes the blood less likely to clot and close off the arteries that feed the heart. By using aspirin to prevent these small clots, nearly half of all heart attacks can be prevented. If you have hypertension,
beta blockers may be a good choice of medicine. They decrease the chance of having a first heart attack as well as subsequent heart attacks. Diabetes is a significant factor in heart disease. Diagnosing it early and controlling blood sugar levels carefully is vital. Exercise is very important. Exercise lowers the blood pressure, makes the heart more efficient, lowers cholesterol and helps you lose weight. Finally, recognizing a heart attack early is crucial. Medicines can dissolve the clot that is obstructing circulation to the heart muscle, but only if they are given within 5-6 hours of the onset of symptoms. This
means that you must be aware of the signs and symptoms of a heart attack: chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea and a sweaty feeling. Even an increase or change in angina that has been stable can indicate the early development of a clot. See your doctor promptly if these symptoms occur. For more information on combating heart disease, visit the American Heart Associations website — www.heart.org or ask your family physician for help.

Issues on ovarian cancer screenings It's always good to do screening tests for cancers or illnesses. For example, pap smears have greatly reduced cancer of the cervix because they pick up early tumors and also pre-cancerous changes. By comparison, ovarian cancer is one of the more difficult cancers to screen for. Who should be tested and what tests are worthwhile in screening for ovarian cancer? Both of these questions are still being debated by the experts. The main tests available are a blood test for a tumor protein called CA 125 and an ultrasound. Both of them are fairly expensive. Since ovarian cancer is fairly uncommon, the
screening tests are not recommended for every woman. At this time, the women who should receive these studies are those who have two close relatives with ovarian cancer. Also, having one relative with ovarian cancer and one with breast or colon cancer is also an indication. An exam and a discussion with your doctor about any symptoms is the first step in diagnosing this or any other illness. A routine exam will pick up tumors that have become quite large but may miss smaller tumors. The CA 125 blood test may pick up changes earlier than an exam, but still not early enough to
change the course of the tumor for some women. High-tech ultrasounds done with a probe in the vagina are the most reliable test and they can find small tumors and even determine changes in blood flow to the ovary which may indicate a tumor. Unfortunately, this test is not available in all medical centers. Nor is it covered by insurances unless there are adequate criteria for increased risk of ovarian cancer. If you have questions about ovarian cancer, talk to your doctor. If you need to find a doctor, go to Maria Parham Medical Center's website at www. mariaparham.com and click on the "Physicians Page" tab.

The importance of fire and smoke detectors It's easy to smell smoke. Why bother with a smoke detector? Fires are very dangerous and thousands of people lose their lives in accidental fires each year. Thousands more suffer from severe burns that heal slowly, cause great pain and leave devastating scars. Many victims are children, and often fires occur when they are asleep. It is a great surprise to most people that smoke will not wake a person up from sleep. It is because the carbon monoxide makes a person sleepier and the smoke asphyxiates a person without even rousing him. Don't count on the smell of smoke to wake you up. This is why smoke detectors with loud alarms are so useful in preventing loss of life from house fires. They should be placed near sleeping areas where they will be heard easily if they go off. It is also important to make sure that the batteries are fresh and functional. It is all too common that the batteries are "borrowed" to run a toy or some other
device, but a person often forgets to replace them and is left with a false sense of security. This is an excellent reason for having more than one smoke detector in your house. Be sure to check the batteries monthly when you pay your bills. Besides using smoke detectors, there are many other things you can do to cut down on the risk of house fires. Maintain your
furnace and heaters. Besides being safer, they will be more efficient and cost less to run. Do not leave matches or lighters where children can get a hold of them and warn children against playing with fire. Keep flammable material safely locked away. And most importantly, do not smoke cigarettes — they are the cause of thousands of house fires.

Keep kids with pink eye at home Every parent dreads having his child come home from school with pink eye, but it is more common than most people think. Pink eye is a contagious disease and it spreads easily through schools and day care centers where there are numerous children in close contact. It is the most common eye problem among children. With pink eye, or conjunctivitis, the white part of the eye becomes red and yellowish matter builds up on the lid margins and eye lashes. Pink eye can be caused by infections such as bacteria or viruses and also by non-infectious causes, such as allergies,
or irritation from smoke or dust. Viral infections are the most common cause. Doctors cannot always tell from an exam which of these is the cause, but when there is a chance of a bacterial infection it is usually treated with antibiotic eye drops. The pink eye generally improves nicely in two to three days, but should be treated for a full week. A culture is seldom taken, unless the pink eye does not improve. The matter from bacterial infections is rather thick and sticky, and in the morning the eyes are usually stuck shut. The child has to pry his eyes open or use warm compresses to help loosen the debris.
Viruses cause a discharge that is usually watery and thin. The eye does not feel like it is glued shut. Allergies also cause a watery discharge and mild redness and can appear very similar to a virus. A child with pink eye should stay home from school until the infection is cured. He should also use separate towels at home and the whole family should wash hands frequently — hand to hand contact is the most common route of spreading the infection. Remember, pink eye is very contagious and should be treated immediately with a visit to the doctor's office.

Allergy testing: just 'scratching' the surface Allergy shots are the most specific treatment for allergies. In order to prescribe allergy shots, however, testing must be done to determine which pollens, molds, dusts or danders are causing your allergies. After the exact causes of your allergies are known, your doctor can order serums that help your body build up the right immunity. Allergy testing is actually fairly simple. For the initial testing, scratches are used. In fact, this is usually all the testing that is needed, unless certain allergens — such as molds — show equivocal results. Scratch testing is done
by making a small scratch about 1/8 inch long. The scratch is so minor that it is difficult to see where it is unless the skin reacts to the solution that is applied. If the test is positive, a wheal of up to 1/4 to 1/2 inch in size, with a larger surrounding area of redness, will develop. Rows of the different allergens are applied — the animals, dusts, molds, tree pollens, grass pollens and weed pollens. Occasionally, your doctor will test for other allergens, such as foods. When there is some doubt about the significance of a scratch test result, a tiny droplet of
the allergen is injected just barely into the skin. This is called an intradermal test. If these are needed at all, usually only a small number are required to confirm scratch tests that were not clearly positive or negative. The scratch tests must develop for 30 minutes before the final reading and intradermal tests for about 20 minutes. Before scheduling any allergy testing, it is wise to consult your doctor. Talk to your family physician about any concerns about you may have about possible allergies or go see a doctor who specializes in allergy and immunology.

People with known, severe allergies should always have an "epi pen" nearby and understand how to self administered it if necessary.
Anaphylaxis — a severe allergic reaction The allergic reaction that causes the airways to close off and shock (low blood pressure) to occur is called anaphylaxis. It is a very severe reaction that can occur very quickly after exposure to an allergen. For example, a bee sting can cause a person to collapse so quickly that it appears to be a cardiac arrest. In other cases, it may take several minutes to develop, but nearly all anaphylactic reactions occur within 30 minutes of the exposure. Bee stings are a major cause of these anaphylactic reactions and cause about 40 deaths each year in this country. Yellow jackets are the most common cause. Paper wasps and honeybees seldom cause anaphylaxis. Foods can also cause these reactions. The most common one is peanuts. Allergic reactions to other types of nuts, milk, soy, fish and berries are also relatively common. Some food additives can cause it. Mono sodium glutamate is a chemical used to keep vegetables looking fresh and potatoes white. This chemical was banned in 1986 for most uses, but it is still available for use in certain foods. A person with
a sensitivity to mono sodium glutamate should check at restaurants to be sure that none has been used in preparing salads or potatoes. Even common allergens, such as pollens and dusts, can cause anaphylaxis, especially if there is a very high exposure. Persons who have experienced these reactions should have an epinephrine kit available when there is any risk of exposure so immediate treatment can be given. Always see your doctor for any severe allergic reaction.

What really causes ulcers? Stress, coffee and spicy foods — that's what many people think cause ulcers. Stress certainly appears to play a role, but foods do not cause ulcers and even coffee is questionable. Spicy foods and coffee may make ulcers feel worse, but they are not likely to cause them. A bacteria called Helicobacter pylori has been found to be an important factor in most persons with ulcers and occasionally in persons with gastritis and other stomach symptoms. Studies have shown that killing this bacteria with antibiotics and antacid medicines will
cure the ulcer most of the time. A few other things are known to make ulcers worse. Cigarette smoking is one of these. Ulcers may be difficult to cure and are also very likely to recur if a person keeps smoking. Helicobacter pylori infections have also been associated with smoking. Arthritis medicines are a common cause of ulcers because they damage the protective lining of the stomach. Some people are more sensitive than others to ulceration from these medicines. Steroids are another type of medicine that will contribute to ul-
cers. In fact, any medicine that decreases inflammation tends to damage the protective defenses of the stomach. If you have had ulcers once from these medicines, you must be very careful if you use them again. Fortunately, there are now medicines that help protect the stomach if you must use these medicines. Physical stresses such as severe burns and serious or chronic illnesses are also common causes of ulcers and gastritis. Spring and fall, for some unknown reason, are also associated with an increase in ulcers.

Pneumonia: adults need their shots too "Shots" are not just for children. We are getting more and more useful vaccines for other infections and many of these are for older age groups. One of the most important vaccines is the pneumonia shot. Pneumococcus is a bacteria which frequently causes pneumonia as well as a number of other serious infections, such as meningitis. This shot will protect a person against 90 percent of the important strains of this bacteria and help prevent pneumonias. It does not protect against other bacterial pneumonias or viruses, however. Often a pneumococcal infection strikes and spreads
so rapidly that it becomes life-threatening before antibiotics can take effect. This is especially true in the elderly, whose immunity is usually weaker and responds more slowly. The vaccine may give a person the extra protection needed to keep a serious infection at bay or slow the spread of infection until antibiotics and white blood cells take effect. Who should get the vaccine? Like with flu shots, those who are at highest risk are persons over 50 and anyone with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart, lung or kidney disease. The vaccine is extremely important for
anyone who has had their spleen removed. Your doctor can advise you about the many other indications that might exist for you. Serious side effects from the vaccine are rare, but soreness at the site of the injection, a low-grade fever and mild muscle aches are not uncommon. In most respects it is similar to the flu shot, but the one big difference is that the shot is only given once, not each year. However, many doctors are now giving a booster shot if it has been over six or eight years since the first shot. Talk to your doctor to see if getting a pneumonia vaccine is right for you.

Dealing with diabetes in children There are two kinds of diabetes. One type affects older people and the other attacks children. The type that affects children is much more serious. These children suddenly lose their ability to make insulin and will require insulin shots immediately and for the rest of their lives. Interestingly, the two types are not closely related to each other. The adult type runs in families and is largely determined by genetics. In the juvenile form, heredity plays a minimal role. Even if both parents of a child have juvenile-onset diabetes, the child will still have only a 15 percent chance of developing diabetes.
Why do some children get juvenile diabetes? It appears to be an immune disorder where the insulin-producing cells are destroyed by a person's own antibodies. How the process begins is unknown, but certain viral infections seem to set off this auto-immunity. There are also genetic factors and possibly environmental factors that may be involved. When juvenile onset diabetes starts, the damage to the insulin-producing cells is sudden and severe. The insulin producing cells do not recover and the child will need insulin for the rest of his life. Other medicines used for diabetes do
little to help. This juvenile form comes on so suddenly that a child may be fine one day and will have lost 10 to 15 pounds and be severely ill in two to four days. Because it begins so suddenly, screenings for diabetes in children are seldom useful. Once diabetes is diagnosed, the blood sugar should be regulated as closely as possible to prevent complications. Tight control of the blood sugar is the best way to pre-
vent the complications so commonly seen in diabetics: hypertension, heart disease and damage to the eyes and kidneys.

breast-feeding has been shown to reduce the risk of ear infections. The other big cause of ear infections is exposure to viruses from other children, especially in day care centers. The larger the group of children, the
greater the number of viruses that are spread around. Try to keep day care groups small. Talk to your child's physician about any concerns you may have about their health.

First title defence for Cathal Pendred in Dublin on June 1...
If Pendred takes this he has to be in the UFC next but if Mills get`s it he`s the top of the tree in Europe and close to the big show again.
Awesome fight, glad I`ll be there to see it.
Mills FTW.
all the respect in the world for Mills for taking that straight out of the ufc, good stuff
I like it! Usually not a fan of guys getting a title shot coming new into a promotion, but this one is certainly justified.
Che Mills talks about the Cage Warriors deal
It seemed an obvious choice from the offers i got
great fight, how could anyone complain!

The hood though, I think it needs to be seen in motion (post a video of the car in motion with the hood at various angles).
I'm sure people would also have their reservations about my hood:
I think that hood fits that car well. Are those projectors aftermarket? How bout those red calipers? How'd you have them done. I'm thinking of having mine done either red or blue. The v calipers come in silver.
The hood was made my MPD Inc and is fiberglass on top of the OEM structure, it's a copy of the 2002 Camaro SS hood (it even uses the same hood grille and is as functional as a ram air hood can be on a sideways motor).
The calipers are a dual piston setup (from a 2002 Camaro Z28 supposedly could have used corvette C5 brakes too but couldn't find a donor as cheap as these were -free- as I was owed a favor from a guy at the salvage yard) to replace the stock single piston setup. Just had to re-tap the Camaro caliper bracket to 14mm from 12mm bolts and it bolted right up and was a decent improvement.
I sprayed them with high temp paint after cleaning them up then mounted them. Caliper color choice really depends on the color of your car. I think yours is black if memory serves correctly. I did an obvious black and red theme on my car, so red fits mine. Whichever color you choose make sure to pick one that you can continue to accent it elsewhere if desired. I think the yellow brembos look really good on a black car.
The headlights I did a custom retrofit of HID projectors into the stock reflectors. I've done this to the 02 Deville DTS that I had and my girl's 03 Jetta.
Sent from AutoGuide.com Free App
I have the real deal
Caddy is my dd.
Wow interesting stuff on that Monte Carlo.
High temp paint.. Where can I get it and how long can I expect it to stay on there before I have to reapply? Does it have a shine to it like the paint on the car?
My car is indeed black. I'd say yellow calipers are nice with black rims. I'd like to go red but nowadays kias have red calipers from the factory if you order them. Although they're not nearly as big as mine. That's why I was thinking blue.
Scroll to near the bottom of the page.
Now I have to find a way to keep the v logo on there. Stencil?
Also, I've discovered that the dealer did a shoddy job of spraying my rims before selling the car to me because there is overspray on the calipers. It partially covers the v logo. Gotta figure that one out too.
Awfully dirty from wet sanding & buffing but nearing completion!!!!
Don't know if this was asked yet but are you planning on cutting out the center of the rear bumper for the V-coupe exhaust to fit into? Personally I think it looks silly hanging down like that...
Yes, the muffler is going to be raised up about 2 inches & the bumper will wrap around the sides of the tips.Quote:

Schools, libraries see hundreds of requests to ban books
By Ledyard King, Gannett News Service
WASHINGTON John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men is on high school reading lists across the country. But the classic novel occasionally appears on another list as well — of books that some parents want pulled from shelves because of vulgar language, sexual content or some other reason.
Every year, public libraries and schools across the country collectively field hundreds of requests from parents, public officials and activists pressing for the removal of books they deem inappropriate. That includes literary classics, human sexuality manuals and, occasionally, even the dictionary, according to the American Library Association.
The American Library Association has logged more than 9,600 requests to remove books from library shelves, summer reading lists and school classrooms since 1990. The actual number is considerably higher, association officials say, because most challenges are handled quietly.
The number of cases in which a book was removed has declined over time, according to Judith Krug, director of the association's office of intellectual freedom.
"The community is rising up and saying, 'No, you are not going to remove these materials. We can make up our own mind,'" she said, "I give a lot of credit to the public."
The annual list of book challenges compiled by the American Library Association is based on news accounts and reports from librarians. Association officials keep the vast majority of requests confidential.
Gannett News Service analyzed 272 publicly reported challenges compiled by the association from 2003 through March 2008 and found that:
• Challenges came from communities in 41 states, some from organized groups and others from parents and patrons. Most of the challenges — 222 — targeted books at a school.
• Sexual content was cited 144 times, making it by far the most common basis for a challenge. Vulgar language, racial themes, violent images and anti-Christian content also were mentioned often.
• In addition to Steinbeck, famous authors whose works have been challenged include Mark Twain (The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn ), Maya Angelou (I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings ) and J.K. Rowling (the Harry Potter books).
• Most challenged books stayed on the shelves. Of 176 different books challenged in cases that led to some resolution, 99 (56 percent) were retained and 65 were removed. Another 12 remained available but with restrictions, such as a requirement for parental permission.
People who ask that books be removed from a library shelf or school reading list target titles that might seem harmless to others, Krug said.
In 1993, school officials in Churchill County, Nev., received complaints about "objectionable language" in the American Heritage Dictionary. The officials decided to keep the dictionary anyway.Most challenges focus on keeping certain books away from children.
Kathleen Subia of Chandler, Ariz., asked the local library to remove a book called, Where Willy Went after her 7-year-old daughter pulled it from a shelf in the children's section. The book contains pictures explaining conception from the perspective of a sperm cell.
"It's actually a great book if I was looking to explain to my children how people reproduce, but it forced me to have that conversation with my children when I wasn't ready for it," Subia said. "I thought the kids' section was safe."
Chandler's library board decided to keep the book where it was.
In Maine, JoAn Karkos stole a book on human sexuality from the children's section of libraries in Lewiston and Auburn and sent the libraries a check to cover the cost of the book, which she called "pornographic."
"Lyrics have warnings. Movies have warnings. But our publicly funded libraries do not have warnings," said Karkos, a 65-year-old retired credit union loan officer who was fined by a court.
Krug said libraries strive for diversity, not balance. If someone doesn't like what's on the shelf, they don't have to read it, she said.
Anne Marie Wlodarczyk of Lackawanna, N.Y., said she was outraged earlier this year when a local school board member asked that six books dealing with the occult be pulled from shelves at the local middle school.
"It's important for children to read, and I will not let my child be hindered," said Wlodarczyk, whose son is a high school freshman. "How do you expect a child to grow? I'm sorry, you can't hide the outside world from them."

In addendum to the earlier post and the response about bushings... The original issue with the powerflex bushings was that they were of a 1 piece full polyurethane design. as a result the top "collar" of polyurethane would be cut off by the movement of the subframe. Also their were complaints that the bushings were shorter than the center pins causing there to be a space between the bushing and the bottom of the car when tightened down. Powerflex, seeing this as a problem, has redesigned these bushings in a way that solves both problems... BEHOLD!
Notice how the pin does not protrude from the bushing.
Notice the new 2 piece design and the metal rings to keep the subframe away from the collars of polyurethane.
These are the new, redesigned, powerflex bushings that are going in Sal's car. He shouldn't have any issues with them.

I've been using ALL medium frames/supers - many of the frames have plasticell - SO - are the EZ Frames from Dadant all that great?? Are they 'long lasting and sturdy"? or do the bees not like them - tell me what you know... your friend, Gena ;)
Thank you for all of your replies/input. I'm not sure what to do - I might experiment. Michael - can you give me a thread to Mann Lake. I've been using the Dadant Plasticell and the catalog doesn't mention cell size. Can I use a 4.9 from Mann Lake when I've been using the larger?? What happens if I mix cell sizes - sound like a disaster... Thanks for moving to the write topic heading. :-\ your friend, Gena

Start with Strawberries
Homegrown strawberries are a billion times better tasting than the hard, rarely ripe, flavorless selection in the supermarket. Strawberries are cold-hardy and adaptable, making them one of the easiest berries to grow.
While most fruit trees take several years to begin bearing, you can harvest your own strawberries the very first summer. And even if you live in an apartment or small home, you can grow strawberries in a container on your balcony, rooftop, patio, or even doorstep. If your horizontal space is limited, consider growing strawberries in a hanging basket or stacked planter, which will allow you to take advantage of vertical growing space as the strawberry plants tumble out over the sides.

Five Things
This article originally appeared at Finding Great Joy as part of Cynthia's wonderful mother-to-mother series. Please take a moment to stop by Finding Great Joy and read through the archives. Cynthia has many beautiful and encouraging words for women striving to be holier wives and mothers.
Early in our marriage, a wise priest counseled my husband to have a "five things" conversation with me. He was to ask me for five things he could do to make me feel more loved and really listen to the answers. Once I finished with my list, it was my turn to ask him: How can I love you better? The simple tête-à-tête has become a very fruitful habit in our marriage. Sometimes we do our listing after a disagreement to reconnect, sometimes at the end of a date to carry the romance into the coming week. Every time I feel the strength of the Sacrament. Christ present in our midst giving us the courage to love more.
The best thing about these discussions is the surprises. The first time we sat down together, I expected something along the lines of cook more hot meals and stop complaining. What I got instead was a list that showed me just how deeply my husband cared for me and our marriage. He wanted me to stop panicking about the future-to trust that he would work hard to provide for our family and, more importantly, that God would provide for us. My husband wanted me to be more confident – about my appearance, my abilities as a wife and mother – but to accept that perfection isn't possible. "You're human. Get over it." He genuinely wanted me to talk to him about my struggles instead of keeping things bottled up.
…And he wanted me to clean the car with him.
That last one made me laugh, but it's a perfect example of how different we are in what we perceive as a loving gesture. I'm as oblivious to a messy car as my husband is to dirty laundry, but it's important to him to make sure the car is orderly with a flashlight, emergency kit and a mechanic's tools all easily accessible. Now it's important to me.
Although our "five things" conversations sometimes feel a bit silly, they've really given us a tremendous amount of insight into the way the other thinks. It can be tempting to love in the way you want to be loved, but marriage is an invitation to go beyond our own desires. Marriage is a call to be the servant; to give the gift of our self to the other. In order to love my husband well, I need to know what will make him feel loved. It's always a bit humbling to realize I don't know him as well as I should!
I feel like a disclaimer should accompany any kind of marriage advice, so here it is. My husband was counseled to try the "five things" conversation within the context of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. I truly believe the Holy Spirit inspired the priest to tell my husband exactly what he needed to hear to make our marriage more beautiful, holy and perfect. If this article helps you find new ways to love your husband better, terrific. If not, that's okay.
I think we as Catholic women are often tempted to look at other couples and wonder why our marriages don't look like theirs. Why don't my husband and I pray the Rosary together every day? Why aren't we part of a pro-life ministry or homeschooling our children? Why isn't our house decked out with statues of the Blessed Mother? Why don't my husband and I have deep theological conversations over our morning coffee? Sometimes these thoughts give us the motivation to do better, but just as often they breed resentment, discouragement and dissatisfaction.
Every marriage is a work in progress. God leads us each by our own way. Love your husband as best you can today, cherish him as the gift he is, but don't be afraid if you fall short. Every marriage has its difficulties, every couple has their own struggles, but we don't need to be afraid. The love of God is alive – working in and through us to make our marriages the most perfect Image of His love on earth.
Happy 2nd anniversary!

This wine is produced to be served at the annual Palio celebrations organised by the Contrade (districts) of Siena, which have taken place since 1656.Predominantly a Merlot and Sangiovese blend, the grapes were sourced from San Felice's renowned Chianti Classico vineyards. Aromas of ripe cherries and violet lead onto an approachable palate, with soft tannins and balanced acidity.
Producer Details
A large estate, with 180 hectares of immaculately maintained vineyards in Castelnuovo Berardenga, which lies adjacent to its sister property Villa la Pagliaia. The wines at both are made by Leonardo Bellacini, a master of the 'non interventionist' approach, giving classic expressions of high quality Sangiovese, restrained and complex and with great balance and depth. The secret lies in high quality grapes from exceptional vineyards, driven by an intensive research programme, in particular by selection of the best naturally occuring clones. The resulting wines are understated but satisfying, unencumbered by new oak, Cabernet or flashy winemaking.
In the Vineyard
Grapes are sourced from vineyards within Castelnuovo Berardenga, at approximately 350-400 metres above sea level.
In the Winery
Merlot was harvested at the start of September, followed by Sangiovese, and finally the Cabernet Sauvignon - towards the middle of October. The wine underwent 9 days fermentation on the skins, followed by malolactic fermentation, and maturation in stainless steel.
Food Recommendations
Serve with grilled meat and vegetables dishes, or simply with pasta.

The UEFA Champions League swung back into action last night, with goals galore from Tuesday night's matches.
Italian leaders Juventus soundly defeated Scotland giants Celtic 3-0 in front of a raucous crowd at Parkhead, leaving Neil Lennon to proclaim that only a miracle would allow his side to advance to the next round. Alessandro Matri gave the visitors a dream start, scoring three minutes in and taking a one goal lead. Second half goals by Claudio Marchisio and Mirko Vucinic put the game away for the Old Lady. Even worse for Celtic, midfielder Kris Commons blamed teammate Efe Ambrose in public for the defeat following the match.
Meanwhile in Spain, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Valencia 2-1 off of first-half goals from Ezequiel Lavezzi and Javier Pastore, though star forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic was sent off in injury time after 90 minutes. Valencia scored one back just before Ibrahimovic's dismissal, but it was too late to grab another to tie the match. Now, Valencia will have it all to do in the bubbling cauldron that is the Parc des Princes in four week's time.
Here are some other stories to get your Wednesday started:
The 2013 Copa Libertadores Group Stage kicked off last night with three matches, two of them involving Ecuadorian teams.
In Group 1, Nacional of Uruguay drew with Barcelona of Ecuador by a score of 2-2. Barcelona scored the match's first two goals, taking a resounding lead into halftime, but the Uruguayan side kept pushing and managed a game tying goal in the 3rd minute of injury time to save a point.
In Group 4, Emelec of Ecuador defeated Velez Sarsfield of Argentina 1-0, thanks to an own goal from Sarsfield forward Facundo Ferreyra, while in Group 7, Chilean side Universidad de Chile opened their account with a 2-0 win over Venezuala's Deportivo Lara, with both goals from either side of halftime finished by Chilean striker Sebastian Ubilla.
New Tottenham Hotspur signing Lewis Holtby believes his side can capture the Europa League crown, as their team goes through preparations for their upcoming match against Lyon on Thursday.
The young German midfielder made his first start for Tottenham last Saturday, as Spurs defeated Newcastle 2-1. Using his former experience in the Europa League at Schalke, Holtby is confident that Tottenham have the quality to win the title held by Atletico Madrid.
Spurs have been in fine form in the Premier League and FA Cup, where they have yet to record a defeat since December 9. Currently the side are in fourth place in the Premier League, and just one point behind third place Chelsea.
Liverpool have written to Russian side Zenit St. Petersburg in advance of their Europa League meeting because of the English club's concern over possible racist incidents. (REPORT)
Bayern Munich forward Mario Gomez won't be leaving the Allianz Arena this summer, says the German international's agent. (REPORT)
Brazilian side Gremio have had to close the north end of their stadium due to damage caused by their fan's traditional goal celebration, nicknamed the "Avalanche". (REPORT)
TSG Hoffenheim players Tim Wiese and Tobias Weis have both been fined by their club after being thrown out of a carnival. (REPORT)
What do you think of these reports? Did you expect Juventus to win in the fashion they did? Was Zlatan's red card legitimate? Do you believe Tottenham can hoist the Europa League title?
Share your thoughts below.
Ives, I read an article recently arguing in favor of MLS teams playing in Copa Lib. In your opinion, do you see that as a future possibility? In a purely hypothetical scenario where CONMEBOL invites MLS to play, would the benefits of prize money and exposure outweigh the high cost of travel?
I agree, that's a foregone conclusion, but I don't think losing is necessarily a bad thing for MLS teams. Playing a higher level competition would only help players improve. But winning and developing players would be secondary to earning money and growing exposure, from an MLS perspective. Playing against CONMEBOL teams, especially the home games in the US, would help MLS grow its fanbase. Case in point, casual soccer fans are much more likely to come out for a Galaxy game versus Santos or Boca Juniors than TFC or Puerto Rico Islanders.

Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar, Law Minister S Suresh Kumar, the state's Chief Secretary SV Ranganath, Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Ltd Executive Engineer Vijay Kumar besides Water Resources Minister Basavaraj Bommai and his secretary should all be held guilty for contempt of court, Tamil Nadu pleaded.
Karnataka had triggered a constitutional crisis by defying the Supreme Court's directive that was issued on Sept 28, Tamil Nadu stressed.
The apex court had asked Karnataka to comply with the order of Cauvery River Authority (CRA) that stipulated daily release of 9000 cusecs (cubic feet per second) of Cauvery water to Tamil Nadu.
Accordingly, Karnataka started letting out the river water from the Krishna Raja Sagar dam on Sept 29. However, the state's counsel Fali S Nariman informed the Supreme Court on Oct 8 that Karnataka is not in a position to release any more water to Tamil Nadu. The water release was stopped that day itself.
While pro-Kannada outfits as well as farmers in Mandya and Mysore hailed the development, the reaction in Tamil Nadu was exactly the opposite. DMK supremo M Karunanidhi went to the extent of demanding President's Rule in Karnataka.
The Centre must invoke Article 356 because the situation is so grave, he stressed. "This is not a case of vendetta, but it should be a lesson for other states in the future. Tamil Nadu's fields shouldn't turn graveyards," Karunanidhi said.
Pattali Makkal Katchi chief S Ramadoss urged the UPA government to deploy the Army near Karnataka's reservoirs. He also appealed to the Centre to take over all the dams which are built across the Cauvery river in Karnataka.
To highlight their strong opposition to the abrupt stoppage of water release, CPI activists even tried to block trains in Tamil Nadu's Thanjavur district but police detained them in the midst of the 'rail roko'.
Incidentally, Jagadish Shettar claimed today that the CRA's Sept 19 order "has no basis at all." He told reporters in Bangalore that "the decision was taken without any proper discussion" and described it as "an injustice to Karnataka."
Asserting that the state was right to stop the water release, Law Minister Suresh Kumar said, "We are very confident that Karnataka has done no wrong, we have taken no such step that can attract contempt proceedings. Because we have obeyed the order of the Supreme Court order and that of the CRA and released water."

Buying a TV today and need a little input from those more knowledgeable than I. Which one is a better choice. 26" Vizio LED or 26" Sylvania LCD. Thanks.
Buying a TV today and need a little input from those more knowledgeable than I. Which one is a better choice. 26" Vizio LED or 26" Sylvania LCD. Thanks.
You want to get the LED-LCD type for the best picture. I just bought the Samsung 55". It is nice. Had a Sony Bravia before. The Samsung is better to me.
No Fool Like A Old Fool is there?
More info. The TV is an XMAS gift for the MIL for her bedroom. I bought the Sylvania on the Black Friday sale already but today Target has the Vizio for $198.00 and I thought i read somewhere that LED was good technology? Either way she will be stoked I am just trying to get the best one for the best price. The Vizio, if we go that route is $80 bucks cheaper.
What has the "BEST"...it's in the eye of the beholder > but rumor has it plasma still has the edge for the better theater type picture if that's what you like (I do) PLUS, viewing angle is a NON issue.
A local repair shop (a very honest one at that) told me the below...and also > look to the three S's as in Samsung, Sony and Sharp.
They ALL have issues > Only risk/spend the amount of money that you would be thrilled if you got 3 to 7 years out of the set.
BTW > LCD technology is older than plasma by far.
They had LCD before Plasma was even in the think tank.
Advantages of LCD (including LED backlit) > runs cool, good picture, light weight.
Disadvantages of LCD (Excluding LED Backlit in reference to backlight failures only) > Very Fragile, Backlights Fail, Washes out in high ambient light conditions, Poor high angle viewing.
Advantages of Plasma > Generates its own light (no backlight required), good picture, excellent high angle viewing, does not washout in high ambient light conditions, not nearly as fragile as LCD, longer life.
Disadvantages of Plasma > Heavy, Uses more electricity, runs at a higher temperature although the newest units are much better.
Some manufacture's stopping production of Plasma had nothing to do with Plasma technology. It's all about money. LCD's are CHEAPER to build therefore profit margin is higher. The light at the end of the tunnel is the LED Backlit LCD televisions. The Backlight can be replaced on these sets so the overall life should be good excepting for they will still be a fragil set. By fragil I'm told a 2 year old child with a foos ball bat can break a lcd tv screen.
With the above being said > I'm tired of paying for TV and WAY TOO MANY commercials! I'm considering telling Comcast to kiss my ass and about to go with a digital antenna. That leaves no reason for the 50" plasma I once wanted.
I wish they made a 50" CRT/tube > that picture would be fine in my book. Heck, my 1993 36" Tube set still looks great!
I am trying to figure out what to do also. I am looking for a 60" and get torn all directions on which to get.
Needing advice from the tech guys here.
Its time to get the straight scoop from either JY Ruiz or Lorne (RiverRatz) as they are huge entertainment equipment affecianados.
The prices of small sets is so low now that I wouldnr worrry about it, but I would go bigger JMHO.
Rest in PEACE, Trimm Mann
B&D Marine ROCKS!!!
As far as bang for the buck, you can't beat a Panisonic Plasma. The picture is imho better than LCD. Samsung would be another choice in Plasma.
You must prepare for the darkness while traveling in the sunlight!
To wrap my portion of this thread up here's how it went. We got the Vizio, took the other one back and couldn't be happier with the end result. The Vizio is BAD ASS, got 32 great reviews and was smaller and lighter while providing the same size screen as the other set we had purchased. The picture on the LED-LCD is really impressive. Go check it out.
Bought the Vizio on Black friday... 42"... gotta say its WIERD!!! I never knew that HD kinda ruined things... you can tell how fake sets are, and props are!! LOL
I don't know if I like it yet... I feel like I'm there on the set with the movie or show!! I'm oldschool this is our first LCD... were used to rear-projection!! LMAO!!
Does anyone else feel this way?
You only live ONCE... Take life by the horns and RIDE'M Cowboy!!!!
I just got a sony led (NX800) a couple months ago. I love it. However, there is not that much difference from the lcd. From what I found, ther are LCD's, LED, and LCD-LED. Mine is a full LED (edge lit). But I was told the LCD-LED is a little of both.
The full LED tends to have a 3D effect during some programs, but I could control that with adjusting the motionflow adjustment. The LED are the more expensive though.
If you are going to watch lots of sports, get the 240 mghz.
by the way, I heard Best Buy after turday day Tv prices are great, and getting better closer to Xmas ...

Rich Colours!
By Liz
from Winnipeg
Bought the chocolate originally and just received 2 other colours, crimson and royal. Thought maybe these would be too bright for me but instead I am so impressed with the rich hues. Absolutely love this dress so don't hesitate to grab the remaining few as in addition to the fabulous colours, the fabric and feel are also great. Tiana B is a line to follow.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Glad I bought this
By virgo
from Alberta, Canada
I bought this in Royal in my regular size Medium. I was super happy with the fit of this dress and the color is beautiful. It glides over the stomach and butt area yet isn't too big. I know I can wear my Spanx tights with this in the winter and it will still look just as good. I received many compliments on this dress the first day I wore it. I may have to order another one when I return just to have for my fall/winter wardrobe.
Nice dress
By Caroline

Comfortable, pretty!
By Nancy Nine
from Riverport, NS
Very versatile - could wear this to work or for evening out. Love the blue colour. Falls nicely; although it has wide neck, bra straps don't show - unless you want them to!
