REPUBLICAN FEAR REVOLT OF FARMERS; Chief Cause of Concern Shown by the Roosevelt Men. Gov. Odell Said to Hold Senator Platt Responsible for Granger Disaffection -- Attitude of Mr. Barnes.
Special to The New York Times. ();

ALBANY, April 18. -- It is the opinion of the best-informed and most far-seeing of the Republican politicians that the differ- ences between Senator Platt and Gov Odell may well give President Roosevelt cause for great concern as to what New York will do for him in the Presidential contest in 1904.

Ziptight device for stabilization
My physician is doing an ulnocarpal stabilzation via a ZipTight device. Has anyone else had their physician's use this and if so, what code do you use to represent it? I thought about using 25337 but the description really doesn't match what he does. Here is the op note:
On the carpal surface on the ulnar border of the hand, a 1.5 mm wire was inserted onto the carpus and driven through the carpus and through the cartilaginous end of the ulna. This was confirmed under fluoroscopy. The wire was then driven through the soft tissue side on the radial side. A small stab incision was created over both aspects of the wire. A 3.2 mm drill bit was then obtained and the wire was over-drilled. The drill was taken through to the radial side of the wrist very carefully. At this point, the wire was withdrawn and the Beeth needle to the Biomet ZipTight device was placed into the cannulated drill and the drill was pulled back through to the ulnar side, bringing the Beeth needle with it going through the tunnel created for the ZipTight device. The toggle on the carpal side was then engaged. The washer on the head of the ulna was then tightened and the ulnar carpal joint was stabilized with tensioning of the ZipTight device in an excellent fashion. With the tensioning completed, each side was tied over, cut short, and the 2 small stab incisions were closed with 3-0 Vicryl and 4-0 Monocryl. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! |
25337 is for 2ndry repair and 25320 is for primary repair; the Coding Companion does state for 25320 'by any method'. So depending on the surgery being the initial repair or 2ndry repair I would agree with these codes.

7 Personal Finances Lessons I Learned in My Twenties
I turn 30 next week [gulps audibly]. Now that I'm an old man, I thought this would be a good time for me to share some of the financial things I did right, plus a few of the things I did very wrong during my twenties. [Note: I wrote this with my 5 day old daughter sleeping on my lap. It would have been 10 things, but I could only think of 7 before she needed a diaper change.]
- I started saving for retirement early. You've heard it a million times, but I'm telling you, start saving for retirement NOW. I got my first post-collegiate job at 22, and I promptly set up my 401(k). Every time I check the balance these days, I can't help but smile.
- I spent too much money on cars. I've mentioned before that the biggest financial mistake I ever made involved a car. As I've gotten older, I've learned that they're just tools for getting you from point A to B. I should have known that new car bliss only lasts for about a month, but the payments last for years. Thankfully, I learned from my personal tendencies, and do what's best for me in the long run.
- I kept investing even when things looked bad. A lot of people decided to sell their investments when the market bottomed out. I decided to keep buying, and I doubled that money when things came back around. Remember, buy low and sell high.
- I stayed at a job I hated for way too long. The money was good, and I couldn't walk away despite the fact that my health and relationships were suffering. The term "golden handcuffs" is a real thing, and I'll never fall victim to it again. It's just not worth it in the big scheme of things. On the bright side, the things I learned at that job helped me with this site.
- I automated everything. I can't tell you how much money I've saved by having my bill payments and monthly savings automated. I socked away more cash than I would've if I had been moving it manually, and I avoided late fees from missed payments.
- I splurged every now and then. Spending more than you should is good for you now and then. However, there is a smart way to do it. Spend your money on experiences, or things that can be sold later to recoup some or all of the cost.
- I started this blog. I wanted to share some of the things I had been taught with the world, but I ended up learning more than I ever imagined. Over 178,000 people follow this site these days, so I feel more of a responsibility than ever to give sound advice. As I dig for content for this site, it has led me to awesome advice that I never would have come across otherwise. If you want to take your expertise in something to the next level, just start teaching what you know to others.
Maybe You Don't Really Need More Money
becomingminimalist.comEven though our basic needs have been met, our desire for money persists. Far too often, this desire begins to take root as a need inside of us. Before we know it, we forget that we were talking about a want and begin confusing it with a need. But what we need and what we want are rarely the same.
We don't really need more money. Instead…
- We need to show more spending restraint.
- We need to discover gratitude and contentment.
- We need to practice generosity.
- We need to stop comparing our lives to others.
- We need to change our view of money.
- We need to realize our lives are far more valuable than the amount of money we possess.
Again, we don't really need more money. Maybe what we really need is far more difficult to discover… but also, far more valuable.

I'm going to be an adult for a moment and talk to you guys about An Important Thing
Namely, your finances.
But the thing is, I'm like, old. I'm 37. And I made a lot of mistakes when I was younger and I really wish someone had explained some stuff to me back then so maybe I can write a thing and help some of you guys out.
Okay so hopefully you know about stuff like having a job, getting money for said job, and you have at least a checking account. If you don't know about these things you can ask questions. Seriously. I am not like an all knowing person but I have probably done some things you may have questions about and I can relay what I know.
Anyway, what I wanted to recommend are are two really important things I've found that are EASY and HUGE HELPS.
1) Please buy and read this book. UGHGH BOOKS AND IT MIGHT BE BORING I know. Really. But someone recommended this book to me a few months ago and I bought and read it and it was so extremely helpful. It was written for EVERYDAY PEOPLE of low (like, even down to minimum wage) to middle income ranges so quite likely, it is relevant to you.
For me, there were 3 parts to that book. Some of it didn't apply to me right now but might in the future. Some parts were REALLY RELEVANT TO ME RIGHT NOW and basically revolutionized how I'm taking care of my money. And some of it was "Ugh I learned THAT the hard way and I realllllly wish I would have read this book 15 years ago" (long before it existed.) But if you're like, 0 - 20 years younger than me there's a lot of really good stuff in there that could really save you a lot of pains in the future.
Note that that link isn't an affiliate link or anything. I just am recommending it because I think it's extremely good and helpful and sincerely think a lot of people should read it.
It's going to teach you how to divide your income to help you spend the rights amount of money on the things you need, the things you want, and how to save money, as long as you're actually getting income. Even if your credit is terrible and you're already in a heap of trouble financially it'll help you get out of those problems and even talks about how to deal with creditors and the best ways to deal with your debt. If you're barely scraping by, it'll help you get on your feet and get some money put away. Or if you're just starting out, it'll help you stay out of trouble. Or if you're like me and doing pretty well but don't feel like you have a really solid plan and need to know WTF to do now that you're stable and want to make sure you're going in the right direction, it helped. The point is, seriously you guys, spend $10.20 on that book and it could really help with your financial future.
And life is really so much better when you have a plan. Even if you're not where you want to be, even if you're deep in trouble, having a plan to get out of trouble and/or to get where you want to be feels 100% better than ignoring it and hoping you win the lottery or it'll all work out on its own eventually (you won't and it won't.)
2) Mint.com. Mint is a free site that basically organizes your financial life for you. You let it look at your accounts and you can very easily see how you're doing financially with it. (It's read-only, you can't move money around with it, they use 128-bit encryption etc. It's about as secure as it can be. If you're worried about security, read here.) You can do budgeting, you can set goals for yourself, you can get alerts when you have major transactions happen or you get low on money in an account, all sorts of stuff. It's kind of hard to explain everything Mint does, but it has a good explanation page here. Personally I have 5 accounts at 2 different banks for various savings and checking accounts, I always know where all my money is, and I can always easily tell what I'm spending too much money on with it.
If you don't use Mint, then find another way to keep track of what you spend and how much you spend on it. Figure out what you spend way too much money on and how you can start getting yourself to save some. I can't really tell you how to do this because I've been using Mint for many years and it works very well for me.
I could talk for a long time about all the dumb mistakes I made when I was younger. How I ruined my credit, how I paid over $4000 for a $1700 bedroom suite (and by "suite" I mean a bed frame, headboard and a dresser), how I ran up credit cards, how my parents had to bail me out, how my mom had to co-sign when I bought my house, and a lot of other really, incredibly stupid things I did. But I won't, unless you really want me to. Don't be dumb like I was. I know thinking about your finances is some how both boring AND scary but taking even just a few hours out learn, put some serious thought into stuff and start doing SMART things now can save you a world of hurt in the future.
Becoming an adult is really scary, and if you guys have questions or want advice about being an adult stuff, you can ask me. If this is at all helpful to you, and you want me to make more posts like this, mash like or something to let me know.
Create a budget with these simple steps
Financial advisors will be the first to tell you: if you want to buy a house, get out of debt, save for retirement, or achieve any other financial goal, you have to make a budget.
There are many online tools to help you with budgeting, including mobile apps. But you don't have to have access to technology to create one. All you need is a pencil and some paper. These tips will help you get started.
Track Your SpendingFor your budget to be effective, it´s important to know exactly where you're spending your money each month.
- Write down all fixed monthly expenses or use your favorite online tools or mobile apps to track where the money goes.
- Make sure to include your cash expenses since they can easily go unreported, especially if you're using computer software.
- Add seasonal or annual expenses such as car registration, tax preparation fees, vacations, or expenses related to the holiday season.
Track at least two months to get a sense of your average of expenses and avoid high or low months.
Track Your IncomeThe second part is identifying your monthly income. It is important to be accurate since you will be making financial decisions based on what you make. To make an accurate assessment:
- Write down all net income from each job or income source for one month. This may include regular salary, temporary jobs, unemployment compensation, and public assistance. If the amount varies, average it out to the last 12 months.
- Include income that occurs less frequently like annual bonuses, dividends and interests, tax refunds, etc.
Once you've identified your expenses and income, it's time to make a budget. Consumer.gov has lots of information on creating a budget, but you can also follow these quick tips:
- Create a document with two columns: one with your monthly income and another with your monthly expenses. FDIC.gov has an example of a budget worksheet (at the end of the page).
- In the expenses section, separate them by fixed and flexible. That way you can prioritize your monthly expenditures.
- If monthly expenses exceed income, then you have to look for ways to reduce expenses or make more money. It's usually more feasible to reduce flexible expenses such as mobile phones bills, water and electricity.
It is ideal to have a monthly budget where income is greater than expenses, and where the budget includes a monthly savings amount. This can help you balance your family budget. Because things can change month to month, experts recommend that you remain as flexible as possible and adjust when needed.
How to Choose a Credit Counseling Agency
It's easy to get into debt. It's much harder to get out of it.
Fortunately, there are credit counseling agencies that can help you get your finances in order. They can help you figure out a budget and stick to it while managing your debt and avoiding future financial pitfalls.
However, not all credit counseling agencies are the same. Some offer free or low-cost services while others charge high fees or might not be trustworthy. The following tips will help you choose the right credit counseling agency.
Look for Agencies with a Good ReputationMost reputable credit counseling agencies are nonprofits that offer free or low-cost services. However, the fact that an agency is a nonprofit does not guarantee that it is affordable or that it has a good reputation. Here are some tips for selecting a credit agency you can trust:
- Ask family members and friends if they can recommend an agency. It's best to pick one that has been around for several years and has a well-established reputation.
- Use credit agencies or credit counseling services referred by credit unions, banks, universities or military bases.
- Choose a credit agency that's been approved by the Federal Government.
You can also check out state and local consumer agencies to find out if a credit agency has complaints.
Compare Services and CostsOnce you have a list of agencies you can trust, the next step is to take a closer look at the services and costs they offer so that you can choose the one that best serves your needs. Be careful with credit agencies that charge high fees for services that you can get for free somewhere else.
Some of the most common services offered by credit agencies include:
- Professional, person-to-person assistance with managing your money and debt.
- Help putting together a family budget and sticking to it.
- Free workshops and educational material.
Before finally choosing a credit agency, it's worth writing down a list of questions you might have so that you can avoid surprises such as hidden fees or limited services. Here are some questions to help you pick the right credit agency.
- Are there different fees for different services? Some agencies might charge for initial consultations or a monthly fee. Be careful with agencies that pay their employees more depending on the services you sign up for.
- Will you be signing a contract before getting counseling? If so, be sure to read the contract before signing it.
- Does the agency have the right certifications to provide credit counseling? It's best to use agencies that have been certified by independent organizations.
- What is the privacy policy of the agency? It's important that your personal and financial information is protected.
"Make a will. Pay off your credit cards. Get term life insurance if you have a family to support. Fund your 401(k) to the maximum. Fund your IRA to the maximum. Buy a house if you want to live in a house and you can afford it. Put six months' expenses in a money market fund. Take whatever money is left over and invest 70% in a stock index fund and 30% in a bond fund through any discount broker and never touch it until retirement."
—Everything you need to know about money by Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert.

This is as simple as it gets,
Many people who follow me on Tumblr are in their teens or 20s and this piece of advice is for them in particular. I didn't start saving and building a portfolio until I was 30. Don't make the same mistakes as me.
"6. ADJUST YOUR MENTAL BUDGET Appalled that a romantic weekend getaway for two will cost you $1,000? Don't worry; it won't. For some reason, people always assume that the alternative to travel is to stay home and spend nothing. Instead, you should be subtracting what you save by not being home. Surely you would have gone out for dinner and a movie one night, at least, so knock off $100. Add in gas, groceries, electricity, etc., and you've got at least another $50. Your weekend now cost $850."

Thank you, NYT, for validating the method I use to justify just about all of my luxury expenses over and above the usual.

I come to MUA all the time to read reviews, but never leave any myself. I was recommended this product after asking for something to help with the redness/scarring present on my chin from pimples there that I've been unable to get rid of. The acne doesn't bother me as much as the scarring does. I was a bit hesitant to purchase this after seeing the price (!!!), but I opened the box and saw how big the tube was. The girl at Ulta also told me it would last awhile, and that she had good results using it for the same reason. Anyway, this stuff is great! I noticed an immediate difference in the redness on my chin from past pimples! I am still working on getting rid of all the acne, which means some bumps are still present, so I cannot tell if it is helping relieve the slight cratering left in that area as well. I think it has been. I have been using this on new red marks left from pimples, and can see them lightening within a day or two. I also use this on my under eye area before applying my eye cream. I can't say for sure if it's doing much there, but a little extra retinol never hurt anybody. This product it is definitely helping my redness/scarring which is what I bought it for. I am very pleased with my results. Will recommend and re-buy!

I have only been using this product for the past 5 nights but I think I am falling in love with it. I am 27 so don't have any real wrinkles but I DID have some very fine lines on my forehead which now have practically disappeared. I have very dry skin which is prone to flaking in Winter time if I don't puts heaps and heaps of moisturizer on so I was a little dubious about using a retinol product, but I can safely say that my skin, in just a WEEK, is so much better and smoother, no flaking whatsoever! I do however have some acne scarring on my chin and I haven't noticed a difference with them yet but they are probably deep and will take longer to clear. I also do get hormonal breakouts every month so it will be interesting to see if this product helps with that but I will have to wait and see - I will update in a few weeks but right now I would say this products is EXCELLENT especially if you are after that smooth, plumped up, glowing looking skin...and who isn't!!

This product saved my skin. After years of having clear skin I started breaking out on my forehead and cheeks at age 38. I tried different moisturizers and stopped using hair styling products, thinking I was having a reaction to them, but nothing worked. Help Me completely cleared up my skin after about 2 weeks of using it, and a year later my skin looks better than it has in years. I use this with Hope in a Jar SPF during the day and non SPF at night.

I have dry, sensitive, breakout prone skin. This is fragrance free so does not bother my sinuses or skin. This helps my 'fisherman's face' : I have pale, couperose skin, with whiteheads and acne. So it definitely helps dry up whiteheads, lessen breakouts, and fades my pinkish brown melasma. It is drying so I put my Cerave lotion on first, wait 20 to 30 minutes and then put it on. I use 1-2 x a week. Will always repurchase.

I have sensitive/combination skin, and I was looking for a miracle after experiencing my first intense breakout in months if not years. I've been using a pea-size amount on my face for approximately three weeks every night, and I have noticed that my skin is significantly clearer/brighter without any retinol-induced irritation. I am usually pretty sensitive to harsher products and was apprehensive of a break-out/rash, but I've only seen improvements. I highly recommend Help Me for others with sensitive skin. For those who are not seeing results, I would recommend exfoliating and toning before using this to give it a little boost.
EDIT 1/7/13: Still awesome, but purchase this on Amazon! It's much cheaper than at Sephora/Ulta.
EDIT 2/27/13: My first tube lasted me for 3+ months of generous, daily use!!

This stuff is so expensive, it's $60 in Canada. Ouch. But a little goes a long way. when I put this on before bed I wake up with nice skin. It's not working miracles, but I really do see a difference in my skin when I use it.

This is a great product!! Usually retinol products irritate my face badly but this did not AT ALL. I use this only at night and I was my face with purity, use Origins Perfect World Serum, then this Help Me lotion and then I finish with Bobbi Brown's Intense hydrating night cream....face has looked great and I haven't had any breakouts while using this combination. Highly recommend for those in the 30's that are looking for a product with retinol in it that doesn't irritate your skin and the price is great...a little bit (less than a pea size) covers my entire face.

I keep buying this when I run out, which says a lot. The packaging doesn't thrill me because the tube looks sort of sad and used-up after the first couple of uses, which is tragic if you like to play with your products and line them all up to admire them.
I noticed that my lines and red splotches were really helped by this when I first started using it. Now I don't know if I'm really seeing any difference, but my fine lines and splotches aren't getting worse and I've been going through the sort of surprising early 30s aging that reminds you that 25 is long gone, so it has to be working.

Very disappointing :-( At NZ $92 for the teeny tiny tube which resembles a travel-sized toothpaste, I was expecting a miracle; however, after six weeks of continual use I have not seen any benefits whatsoever (despite taking photographs and comparing them). The good thing about this product is that a very small amount (pea size) goes a very long way.

All in all this is a good product if you use it every night. I have used it now for 6 weeks and noticed a great improvement in overall clarity and beauty of my skin.
With that being said, it took about 2 weeks for my skin to not sting when using this. Also, make sure NOT to get it in the eye area - it is really inflammatory.

Having used this every evening for the past 13 months, I have noticed huge improvements in terms of pigmentation and size of my face pores.
I absolutely love this product - Its highly absorbent, the smell is ok and it does not leave a burning sensation like other retinol creams.
I use this on top of Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Serum and the combination has transformed my face from oily-acne-disaster into a beautiful and smooth young woman's face.
I do not have wrinkles so I cannot comment on the effect on wrinkles, but I had acne and high pigmentation and I swear by this product.

I have been using philosophy help me on and off for about a year now. I first got it at sephora along with the purity cleanser and the hope in a jar moisturizer. When I first started using it, it gave me AMAZING results. I used it after cleansing my skin and before moisturizer.
The retinol in this product helped with my existing acne scars, it prevented break-outs and definitely smoothed out my skin's texture. My skin truly looked amazing, clear and very even-toned. It also helps in shrinking your pores.
I think this is a gentler retinol product than for example dr. brandt's overnight resurfacing serum. However, after about six months, I felt like this product stopped working. Perhaps my skin got used to it, I'm not really sure what happened.

I decided to use this for at least six weeks before reviewing it. The verdict is in and it really is a wonderful product. It shrunk my pores, banished my red patches and acne, reduces the appearance of fine lines and gave my skin back it's healthy, even glow! I can't say enough about this product and I will always repurchase it. I love the packaging and the fact that you can get out every last drop of the product. I wish it were a little less expensive but, a little goes a long way and I can see this lasting for probably about 4-6 months... I have used it daily for six weeks and have probably used less than 1/4 of the tube, so the cost per use isn't really high. if you haven't tried this, you should!

Can't believe I'm just now reviewing this, thought I did a long time ago. I've been using for about a year now and let me say this...this is the absolute best thing I've ever done for my face. I'm a skin care junkie, love trying new things and hardly ever repurchase b/c there's just so many fun options out there but this little gem I've bought 3 times now. I use it after I wash my face and if I want particularly glowing skin use after exfoliating. Seems to work best at night, when I wake up in the morning my skin is super soft, pores shrunk, no blemishes...I could go on. Do your face a favor and try at least a sample. Price is kinda steep but for me totally worth it.

I have been using help me for almost a year now. I notice an improvement in my skin texture and pore size when I use this nightly but have not really noticed an improvement on the fine lines i am starting to get on my forehead. When I first started it did have a drying effect so now I just mix some moisturizer in with it or use it every other night. Overall a decent OTC retinol product but I am on the lookout for something that is more effective on my fine lines.

This is the best retinol/ anti wrinkle/ wrinkle remover cream I have used. I worked at Sephora and have tried just about everything. Most products are too drying and seem to enhance the wrinkles prior to peeling the skin. I've also been through the whole olay line including the rx and the neutrogena line and Roc. Nothing worked like this or was a simple to use. I'm 29 and it's taken 5 years off my face. The most effected areas are laugh lines, eyes and the line I get between my brow from working in front of a pc all day. I'm amazed and think I'll never do without it.

I used a whole tube of this stuff, and I didn't notice any difference at all. Was pretty bummed out because it seemed make some interesting claims on the packaging. Perhaps this might do more for more mature skin since retinol is suppssed to do wonders for wrinkles.

This was recommended to me by another shopper in the store.. The woman suggested using just a small amount of the "help me" with a moisturizer (like a moisture cocktail), she liked the Philosophy "hope in a jar", I used Perricone moisturizer.. I have been using "help me" and "Perricone" for 4 days and nights (yes 2x daily) and I am experiencing slight extra dryness, but no irritation.. I cannot comment on any changes other than no breakouts and no excess redness.. I will give this another 2 weeks and see how it goes.. I will breakout within 1 to 2 days of using a product, have not with this so I am still keeping my fingers crossed that my skin likes this and improves..

Preface: An imaginary dialogue with Tomás Melendo, author of the ar-ticle. (By Marta Román)
(Marta Román): — Tomás, if my kids read this they'll say it's old-fashioned, outdated. No matter what title you give your articles or your conferences, you always end up the same: in love.
(Tomás Melendo): — True, and not only do I "end up" in love, I also begin in love. I know, it's old-fashioned, as our kids say. But so what?
(M. R.): — Weeell… I don't know, try to come across as more… psychologi-cal? …more like an expert educator instead of a desperate parent?
(T. M.): — Ugh! I'd rather be old-fashioned.
(M. R.): — But all who read these things start asking questions…
(T. M.): — But that's a good thing.
(M. R.): — But, we desperate parents are looking for answers!
(T. M.): — Yes, and that's why I write so many articles on education, the per-son, sexuality, family, work, … on love, that is, as you know.
(T. M.): — I mean, that after 40 years of thinking and studying, I can't find answers anywhere else. What else can I do?
(M. R.): — So, there are answers?
(T. M.): — By the cartload, but all of them have to do with love.
(M. R.): — Tomás, let me tell you something curious: Do you know how to say that you love someone in Italian? Voler bene. I see you added "good" to "querer" in your Spanish article, as the same word is used to "querer" (want) a Coke as "querer" (love) your child. When an Italian boy tells a girl he loves her, he says: "Ti voglio bene." Doesn't that sound better?
(T. M.): — Great! Thank you for telling me this. It gives me an idea…
(M. R.): — I knew you'd like it. By the way, I loved your article.
1. Introduction
Father and mother are, by nature, the first educators of their children, a role they cannot renounce. However, it seems that parents today sometimes try to ignore this. And not only do they ask for assistance, they even seek, almost con-sciously and clearly, to be replaced in this irreplaceable role.
1.1 The difficulty of educating
This sort of reluctance is more than understandable. The educational mission of the parents is no easy task, and even less so in modern times.
In any case, this task is full of presumably irreconcilable contrasts. For exam-ple, throughout their lives, parents:
a) must welcome and take in each child —unique, unrepeatable as he is— even though sometimes he might not live up to their expectations. Children are not the "property" of those who beget them, nor can they use them at will: their most radical truth lies not in being our children, but in being children of God, with all the greatness, autonomy and freedom conferred on them by this fact.
b) must respect the children's freedom; even more, they must foster it and make it grow, while at the same time guiding and correcting the children.
c) must be understanding, but also firm with their children, without easi-ly giving up when faced with something that might be bad for them, no matter how much they insist.
d) must help the children in their tasks, without taking over or sparing them the formative effort, as well as the satisfaction and self-esteem that come from a job well done; in other words, whatever a child may reasonably do by himself, must never be done by his parents or other people.
1.2. Learning to be parents
Accordingly, parents must learn by themselves from a very early stage to be parents,.
No job begins its professional training when the candidate reaches an impor-tant position and is in charge of high-risk tasks: no such thing happens, neither in building work, mechanics, graphic arts or design, nor in medicine, architec-ture, engineering, law, the army, politics, management or business...
Therefore, why should the "parenting job" be different? Maybe because par-ents' responsibility seems minor when compared to that of people working in a "conventional" profession?
But this is not so. On the contrary, as I have said for years, following John Paul II: "As the family goes, so goes the nation," because that's how man, the human person, is: the future of society is at stake in every home, and in every marriage.
Is this, perhaps, because it is more of an art than a science?
Even if an agreement on this point were possible, inspiration and intuition are not enough in any kind of art. It is also necessary to receive instruction, training, to practice, as is rightly shown by those artists who seem to perform their task effortlessly. The more "natural" the master work may look, the more work it has required: effort and hard work, often previously consolidated in the form of skills.
1.3. No "recipes", but "principles"
On the other hand, learning the "trade" of parenting and educating is not a matter of acquiring a set of recipes or prepared solutions immediately appli-cable to problems as they appear. Neither is it a cluster of infallible skills.
Such recipes and skills do not exist.
On the contrary, there are principles or foundations for education, to shed light on various situations: parents must be familiar with them, to the point of thinking and living them as part of their own lives, so that they may face daily life with almost no need for deliberation.
This is no easy task.
With this firmly in mind, I now offer a scaled-down explanation of two or three of the principal criteria and suggestions on the "art of arts," as education has been called. Or rather, as will quickly become clear, I will try to point out the ultimate foundation of all educational activity.
2. At the confluence of three loves
The most radical and profound approach to the problem indicates that the key to education and to all its accompanying tasks can be summarized in a sin-gle word —love— and the following two corollaries:
a) First, there is a constant need of learning to love, never assuming that one knows how to love, contrary to what we often think. Benavente's words are worth considering, when he stated that, without exception, "love must go to school."
b) Also, we must foster the conviction that nobody learns to love and to educate as if by magic, but that it is within our power to improve our loving. Learning to love is "the great subject in life," it is the reason we come into this world; St John of the Cross maintained that at the end of our life, we would be examined on the subject of love… and nothing else.
Let's see how these suggestions may take shape.
3. Loving your children
3.1. Genuine, real love
In order to educate their children, the first thing parents need is a true and complete love for them.
According to a French author, education requires, besides "a modicum of science and experience, much common sense and, above all, much love." In other words, it is necessary to master a few pedagogical principles and learn to act sensibly, but never assume it is enough to apply any nice little theory in order to get the right results. All this would prove insufficient, without the indispensible ingredient of an authentic and true love.
Why is this? For very many reasons, most of them discovered by intuition.
a) The first reason, so obvious that often it is overlooked, is that, if we don't love our children, we won't even pay attention to them… except when they stir up trouble "for us."
b) Also, because "each child —as a person— is absolutely irreplaceable," different from all others. It is not a case among many others. Hence, no instruc-tion manual can explain and resolve this alleged singular "case": principles must be fine-tuned according to the temperament, age and circumstances of each child.
c) Consequently, each one must be treated individually, not all in the same way, as we sometimes try to do, even thinking that it is the correct thing to do: Aristotle warned that treating unequals as equals is as unjust —and as ineffective— as treating equals as being different.
d) But in order to treat each child as befitting his unique needs, we must know him well; and only love can let us know each one as he is right now —and as he is called to be in the future— and help us act according to this know-ledge. Even accepting the truth of the old saying that "love is blind," it is much more profound and real to say that love is sharp and perceptive, discerning; and that, when dealing with persons, only a true love can make us able to get to know them well, to their core… and to act accordingly.
e) On the other hand, and particularly in our day, we should differentiate between true love - which aspires to the real good of the loved one, helping him get the better of himself - and its many substitutes: self-love, which may be disguised as compassion or tenderness, passion, whims, sentimentality, etc. I will reflect more on this aspect in a forthcoming article.
3.2. Love is clear-sighted
True love is never blind; to the contrary, it is astute and penetrating.
In fact, it is this type of love that will teach parents:
a) To discover the qualities to be fostered in their children, instead of fix-ating and monotonously insisting on correcting defects. This is a key point to be dealt with in a future article.
b) To realize the best moments to "be there" and to "disappear," to talk or to be silent; this is an issue especially relevant during adolescence, "which God thought of especially for parents," as I usually explain and which we will also discuss in a forthcoming work.
c) To find the time to play with the children and to get interested in their problems, without grilling them, and respecting their need to be alone.
d) To discern the occasions when it's better to "give the children some space" and "not to notice" certain things, from those times when decisive ac-tion, or even a bit of liveliness and faked aggressiveness is needed…
And, as I pointed out, parents are irreplaceable throughout this difficult en-terprise; there are other, more or less efficacious helps, but the decisive point is always them, in the plural: the father and the mother.
Once there was a married couple, living under strong pressure from their professions, looking for a gift for their child in a toy store: they asked for some-thing to amuse him, keep him quiet and, most importantly, to take away his feeling of loneliness. An intelligent attendant wittily explained, "Sorry, but we don't sell parents here."
4. Mutual love
The first thing a child needs for his education is for his parents to love each other.
4.1. Necessary condition
"We do everything to make sure that he's never lacking anything, we see to his every whim, and still…"
Words like these are frequently uttered by many parents who are apparently thrown into taking care of their children —healthy food, vitamins and tonics, sophisticated toys and games, designer clothing and accessories, seaside or winter vacations, no time or expense spared in providing amusements…—, but they forget the most important thing the little ones need: that their own parents love each other and remain together.
Mutual love of parents is what brought the children into the world. And that same love of the parents for each other must complete the task, helping the child achieve his potential and reach the happiness to which he is called.
Education, the natural complement of procreation, must have the same caus-es —the love of parents— that begot the child.
Several centuries ago it was said that, when leaving the mother's womb, where amniotic liquid protected and nourished him, the child would clamor for a different "womb" and a different "liquid," without which he could not grow and develop; that is, those produced by the father and the mother by their true love for each other.
4.2. Sufficient condition
It is then clear that mutual love is a necessary condition for education. But, taking terms in their true meaning —an authentic love between parents— you could also say it's a "sufficient condition."
Therefore, each spouse must, above all, cultivate love towards the other spouse: I will always say, as I say now, that this is the key of the whole family life.
After that, and as a natural consequence of their mutual love, married couples must:
a) magnify the image of the other spouse before the children, teaching them to respect and love him or her;
b) and avoid anything that might decrease or hinder the love the children have towards this spouse.
More specifically, from the children's earliest age the parents must, besides prudently but clearly showing in words and actions the love that binds them together, pay special attention:
a) not to fight or make sarcastic comments toward each other in front of the children;
b) not to let the children do what the other spouse has forbidden… al-though they might later have to come to an agreement in private;
c) to absolutely avoid comments that might make the child distrust or doubt the other spouse: "don't tell your dad/mom about this," etc.
All of this might be summed up in a single principle, to which we will dedi-cate a future article.
Children, each and every one of them, have one single right. A unique right, so fundamental that no one can threaten it.
It is the right to the person of their parents: to their intimacy, their time, their authority, their understanding, their delicacy… As I said, I will address this in another article.
5. Teaching to love
5.1. Beginning and end
As we have just seen:
a) The radical principle of education is that parents must love each other, and as a consequence of that love, they must truly love their children.
b) The end or aim of that education is that the children, in turn, learn to love: this is the only activity that perfects the human being as a person, and in the end, is the only activity that can make him happy.
As Caldera explains, "the true greatness of man, his perfection, and therefore his mission or task, is love. Any other achievements — professional qualifica-tions, prestige, wealth, a relatively long life, intellectual development — must converge in love or else remain empty and meaningless"… and, if it is not ulti-mately aimed at love, it might even prove harmful.
Therefore, although seemingly paradoxical, if to educate is to love, then to love, in turn, is to teach to love, as there is no other destiny for a human being, no other key to his perfection or happiness.
In short, to educate is equivalent to promoting the capacity to love of those we are trying to educate.
5.2. Attentive to others
I will summarise all that has been said so far in one single sentence: the entire educational task of parents must be aimed, in the end, toward increasing the capacity for love in each child and —as the other side of the same coin—avoiding anything that might make him egotistical, self-centred and closed up within himself, less capable of discovering, wanting, pursuing and achieving the good of others.
Children are educated when they are propelled and taught —more so with actions than with words— to be more attentive to others than to themselves.
And this is so, not just in preparation for the future, when they will be en-couraged to study or prepare themselves to "become productive citizens," but also now, in the present.
a) Teaching them, for instance, to make good use of the time they have available right now to help their friends who experience difficulties at school or in any other area.
b) Asking them first "how their friends are", even before asking if they, our own children, had a good time at some particular recreational activity.
c) Asking such questions when they come home from school indicates by our deeds that we give more importance to what they do for others, than to their own grades.
d) Or, when choosing a career or profession, we encourage them to con-sider not only or foremost the professional "possibilities" —which, in the end, translate into economic "chances"—, but in which job they may be more helpful to those around them, and contribute to their happiness.
5.3. To make them happy
And all this, for a very clear purpose: because, only if we teach our chil-dren to love well will we contribute to making them happy and truly blessed.
Happiness and joy, as the most prominent Classical philosophers and top contemporary psychiatrists have shown, are but the unexpected effect of im-proving our own selves, of progressively making us better persons: and this can only be achieved through a better and more intense love, by opening our hearts wide and purifying our love.
In other words: when seeking to educate we must bear clearly in mind that happiness is in direct and exclusive proportion to the capacity for love of each person, which is shown through actions:
a) whoever loves much, is very happy;
b) whoever has a mediocre love, will never achieve full happiness;
c) and whoever doesn't know how to love, or can't or won't love, what-ever his success in all other aspects of human life will end up completely miserable —even if he tries to hide or ignore it, or even if he convinces himself otherwise.
This is why St John of the Cross could confidently state, in his well-known saying quoted earlier: "In the evening of life, we will be judged on love alone"... and nothing else!
6. Recapitulation
Any educative action will only be valid as long as the reason for any coun-sel given for doing or avoiding something, acting or refraining from acting, is authentic love towards the person we are trying to educate or, in other words, for the true good of that person, which must always prevail over our own good; and that good is the development and perfection of his own capacity for love.
Love, therefore, is the key —the beginning and the end, and everything in between— to all education.
Education can only be performed in love, through love and in order to teach how to love.

College students get sick a lot; dorm conditions, all-nighters and late weekends all contribute to an environment that breeds diseases. It is almost a proverbial rite of passage to get mononucleosis at some point during freshmen year.
American University's answer to the myriad of other collegiate contagions is the Student Health Center. Lauded on tours as an equivalent to a mother's love and homemade chicken noodle soup, the Student Health Center may be adequately depicted as a more expensive WebMD.
It is widely accepted among students that the Student Health Center is a waste of time. You go hoping for help with a medical problem you haven't been able to solve by already resting and drinking more fluids, but always leave asking yourself why you just spent 30 minutes and $20 to get little answers or help. However, time and time again you return, only to leave disappointed every single time.
The most common treatment recommended by the Student Health Center (according to my informal and unscientific survey of friends) is rest and drink lots of fluids. Whether it is fevers, coughs, colds, sore throats, headaches, nausea or anything short of a severe flesh wound, this simple treatment is recommended with the occasional prescription for antibiotics, just to be safe.
According to Dan Bruey, the director of the Student Heath Center, the SHC, "re-evaluate[s] our services every year and make changes as appropriate."
The Student Health Center also features the Student Health Advisory Committee, which is supposed to help facilitate feedback and change. But like many student government organizations, it doesn't seem to enact changes that are felt by the students at large.
Students resort to having their hometown doctors send prescriptions to CVS, friends provide long-distance treatment or parents who are doctors intervene. In the rare instance where a medical visit is needed, going to the Sibley ER is preferred to going to a pseudo-doctor's office.
That is not to say that the Student Health Center doesn't provide important gynecological, psychiatric and medical care. There are around 14,000 visits to the Student Health Center each year, and the Center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, which is certainly a testament to the improvement that has been made.
But something is still severely lacking. Bruey notes that the Center is designed to replace a primary care physician, but the services provided are simply not enough.
A mixture of nurses, physician assistants and others staff the Student Health Center. Yet the glaring hole is the fact that there is only one M.D. working at the Student Health Center (who shares time in an administrative role). That is not to diminish the skills, training and expertise of the health professionals who work at the Health Center, but there is undoubtedly a functional difference between an M.D. and a nurse or physician assistant. The Georgetown University Student Health Center has six doctors on staff, while George Washington has 10, including two adolescent fellows who are doctors.
Simply put, the American University Student Health Center is not up to par with what one would hope a college health center would be. Georgetown and GW's health centers are open on Saturdays, while American University's is not (as if students only are sick during the school week). There is a certain minimum standard of care that is not being provided — and should be — by AU's Health Center.
The American University Student Health Center's reputation precedes itself. I recently saw a dermatologist located near AU regarding an abscess, and both the dermatologist and nurse strongly criticized the Health Center for prescribing me antibiotics before cultures were done, and continued to bemoan other instances where the Health Center failed to provide adequate and proper medical care.
The common-sense medical procedures like running tests before prescribing antibiotics or running cultures in addition to rapid-step tests are nowhere to be found at the Student Health Center. The fact that other doctors are aware of the AU Student Health Center's reputation is shocking and frankly embarrassing.
What is the purpose of having a Student Health Center without the capability of providing any level of care beyond what can be completed by a pre-med major or maybe even the avid viewer of "Grey's Anatomy" on your floor?
Students know when they are sick, and they do not go to the Student Health Center to simply be told that they are sick. They deserve a medical option other than an ER that will provide them with thorough and accurate diagnosis, as well as effective treatment.

CD/LP/Track Review
The University of Texas Jazz Orchestra: Once in a Blue Moon
Even though it doesn't generate a whole lot of heat before the high–stepping finale, this largely easygoing and often pensive third album (at least, I think it's the third) by the University of Texas Jazz Orchestra is in most respects its best effort to date. Ensemble work is bright and secure, soloists spry and resourceful, choice of material — much of it composed and / or arranged by UT students or alumni — uncommon but for the most part admirable. For lovers of the alto saxophone Blue Moon is a special feast for the ears with luminous solos by Paul Haar ("The End of a Love Affair"), Mace Hibbard ("Old Country," Greg Moore's "Tubs of Slaw," "Music for a Rolling Doughnut," "Hora Decubitis") and special guest Gary Foster (Cole Porter's "Everything I Love," in a sparkling arrangement by Jack Cooper). "Doughnut," written and arranged by guiarist John Kregor, is performed by the smaller (eight–member) Alternative Improvisation Music Ensemble (AIME), all other numbers by the Jazz orchestra. "Doughnut," "Everything I Love" and Paul McKee's "Old Country" were recorded in concert. The flag–waving closer alluded to earlier is Charles Mingus' fiery "Decubitis," nicely arranged by the orchestra's director, Jeff Hellmer. Tenor Paul White, who wrote and arranged "Tofu Scrambler," takes a slashing solo on "Decubitis," as do Hibbard, trombonist Jerome Smith, tenor Dave Renter and trumpeter Rick White. Pianist Steven Termini is a standout on "Old Country," "Dougnut" and his own composition, "Once in a Blue Moon," while Kregor, flugel Andy Cheetham and pianist Steven Snyder shine on Cooper's "Tom Sails Away," adapted from a work by classical composer Charles Ives (with perhaps a passing nod toward Mr. Harrell). It's an ambitious program and one that usually works, thanks to the impressive talents of the UT students and faculty (and their celebrated guest, L.A.–based Gary Foster). It has become a rule of thumb that university Jazz ensembles keep getting better and better, and the UT Jazz Orchestra is certainly no exception to the rule.

Listen to Puddle of Mudd on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Puddle of Mudd singer Wes Scantlin just dodged a stint in prison because charges against him for an alleged drunken brawl on a JetBlue flight, have been dropped!TMZ first reported Scantlin was arrested in Austin, TX back in September, after he allegedly got into a booze-fueled argument with a flight attendant. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing, and Scantlin was charged with public intoxication. Scantlin was adamant he did nothing wrong, and earlier this week he was vindicated when a judge dismissed the charges due to "insufficient evidence". Scantlin struck a plea deal for cocaine possession in July, and was ordered to obey all laws for 18 months, or he could face a prison sentence.Calls to Scantlin's people weren't returned.

Sargassum polyceratium is a Caribbean brown seaweed that can be found in strongly contrasting environments. It is a dominant space holder in many coastal communities. Around the island of Curacao, it occurs in the intertidal (0 m) and subtidal (18 m); on the calm leeward shores and along the heavily exposed windward coast. The general objective of this thesis was to detemine how S . polyceratium is able to persist in such strongly contrasting habitat.

Solar Car Racing
Bionic Arm Design Challenge
Design a Parachute
Sponsored by IBM, IEEE, and TryScience
Welcome to the Solar Car Racing Game from TryEngineering.org
A solar car is a vehicle which is fueled by the sun's energy. Photovoltaic cells in solar panels on the surface of the car convert the sun's energy into electricity. This electricity is then used to run the battery that powers the car's motor or to power the motor directly. Most solar cars are developed for the purposes of racing, due to the present challenges and limitations of using solar energy as a reliable source of vehicular power.
In this challenge you will virtually design and race a solar car.
Select components of your solar car such as the body, battery and tires to optimize performance.
Race your car in a desert and a racetrack environment and see how it performs.
Modify your design based on feedback and performance and race again!

Sarah Palin hates the media so much that she stars in a reality TV show and she keeps "writing" dumb books about how amazing she is. Willow Palin made headlines for her Facebook rant, then Life & Style published a story about Willow drinking vodka and buying marijuana. Bristol reportedly smokes weed, Track Palin allegedly loves his Oxycontin… WTF will Piper get into?
Willow issued a statement to E! news in which she calls Life & Style's drug story "lies." She also congratulates and encourages her older sister on her DWTS run.
"Today I am focusing on a special event – Bristol and Mark [Ballas]'s appearance in the Dancing With the Stars finals. Nothing will take away how proud we are of Bristol and her grit and determination that got her this far… It is disappointing to see people claim they know me to sell stories."
Willow hints that a story about something she did a year ago is "ridiculous."
"As for people accusing me of being at a party over a year ago, the accusations are ridiculous. The same people saying this were also the ones attacking my family on Facebook. Unfortunately some people have learned that there are publications that will pay money for stories, no matter how misleading. Nevertheless, I recognize that my family has been given a great honor and privilege to make a difference in this country, and even though I am just 16, more is expected of me."
Willow didn't refute claims that she's knocked up! Fingers crossed.

text: Here's something we never expected to see: Amanda Palmer in The Economist. Even the high-minded news magazine felt compelled to note the Lexington-bred singer's wildly successful Kickstarter campaign. (In case you missed it, Palmer, who's married to sci-fi writer Neil Gaiman, used the crowd-funding website to raise a whopping $1.2 million to finance her new CD and tour.) "Readers of a delicate nature should be warned that Ms. Palmer's Kickstarter page features some images of exuberant nudity," cautions the conservative mag. The writer points out that most people contributed less than $125, but there were also 34 pledges of $5,000, and those folks will each get a private house concert. Wonder how many of them are Economist subscribers.

Hey! I saw you posted a question on my profile around the beginning of october. I haven't checked my profile in a loong time so sorry if it's too late to get back to you! I think tampons are perfectly fine! They really don't hurt and once they're inside you, you can't even feel em! It will be a little freaky the first couple times but you'll get the hang of it. They are so much more comfortable than pads! Try it for something that you have to wear a tampon for like swimming or wear one for any kind of sport that you do. You will not be thinking about your saggy pad while you're running around and you will be much more comfortable.
