What is bacterial endocarditis?
Bacterial endocarditis (BE) is an infection of the valves and inner lining of the heart (called the endocardium). It happens when bacteria the skin, mouth, intestines or urinary tract enter the bloodstream (usually during a dental or medical procedure) and infect the heart.
Causes & Risk Factors
Who gets bacterial endocarditis?
Although BE can occur in anyone, people who already have a diagnosed heart valve problem, an artificial valve or a heart defect are at greatest risk. Having a heart murmur sometimes increases the chances of getting BE. Your doctor can usually determine whether you have a type of heart murmur that increases your risk of BE.
Do medical and dental procedures increase the risk of BE?
If you have a heart defect or valve problem, dental work (including professional teeth cleaning) and some medical procedures (such as colonoscopy, cysoscopy and sigmoidoscopy) can increase the risk of bacteria entering the bloodstream.
Diagnosis & Tests
How can you tell if you have BE?
Fever, chills and other flu-like symptoms may be the only signs of BE. Other symptoms are unexplained weight loss and weakness. Your doctor may suspect you have BE if he or she hears abnormal heart sounds with a stethoscope. Your doctor will then need to do more tests, such as blood tests and echocardiography (looking at the heart by using ultrasound) to find out if you have BE.
How is BE treated?
BE is treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics are usually started intravenously (through an IV) in the hospital, but many people can finish their treatment at home. For more complicated infections, heart surgery may be needed.
Are there complications of BE?
Once infected, your heart may not pump blood as well as it did before. This is called heart failure. Other problems include irregularities of the heartbeat, damage to the heart muscle and blood clots. If BE isn\'t treated, it can lead to death.
Can BE be prevented?
If you have a heart defect or valve problem, be sure to inform your doctor or dentist. If you plan to have your teeth cleaned or have another one of the procedures that increases your risk for BE , you may need antibiotics prior to the procedure. The antibiotics can help keep bacteria surviving in your bloodstream. Check with your doctor to see if you require antibiotics before a dental or surgical procedure.

At #TCAs13 today:
NBC Entertainment boss Bob Greenblatt called this "the year of improvement" for the Peacock network. NBC had its most competitive 18-49 season in nine years, he noted, with no help from Super Bowl or Olympics.
"Flat is the new up," Greenblatt said. Time-shifting via DVR helps add audience.
"We need to be in the event business," Greenblatt says, predicting critics are likely to hear that from all broadcast networks. NBC will highlight live sports, "The Voice," "America's Got Talent," a new live game show called "Million Second Quiz," a live "Sound of Music" at holiday time. "They feel immediate. We're looking for more and more of those events."
This "event" strategy, apparently, is how broadcasters hope to combat the superior drama surge on cable, Netflix, etc.
Greenblatt counts miniseries as events, too. Coming up: a six-hour mini- based on Cleopatra, a four-hour mini- on Hillary Clinton starring Diane Lane, sequel to "The Bible," update on "Rosemary's Baby," a remake of Stephen King's "Tommyknockers" (after seeing success of "Under the Dome"), and Mark Burnett "Plymouth" about pilgrims landing.
Paul Telegdy, president of alternative and late-night programming, likewise stresses "event" strategy and social media connections. He counts late-night variety/talk as "event"-like.
So, let the other guys win Emmys for smart drama and adult comedy. NBC sees its future in big tent, mass appeal "events" as the way to compete. Remember, "Girls" gets maybe 1 million viewers while the Thanksgiving Day parade on NBC gets 44 million. It's not about art, it's about commerce.

Principal's Message
Welcome to Marblehead Elementary!
This is an exciting time for our school. We are in the process of developing a focus on Environmental Literacy as a unifying theme for our academic studies. As a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) school, students are engaged in a cross-curricular study of human interaction with the natural environment in the interests of solving complex problems.
Our students develop an understanding that environmental challenges face every aspect of society. Through problem-based learning opportunities, students gain the skills needed to help solve these complex problems through cooperation and negotiation with different and often competing stakeholders. Reading, Writing, Math, Social Studies are taught authentically through lessons and activities that focus on human interaction with the environment. In partnership with The Ocean Institute, the program combines indoor and outdoor classroom lessons, hands-on laboratory investigations and stewardship of the school garden and outdoor classroom as a microcosm of the larger environment. The goal of this program is to help students develop 21st-century skills that will translate not just into an introduction to careers such as Environmental Engineering, Geology or Environmental Law, but also to develop responsible citizenship.

United States U.S. Military Indiana Military Records
Military records identify millions of individuals who served in the military or who were eligible for service. Evidence that an ancestor actually served may be found in family traditions, census records, naturalization records, biographies, cemetery records, and records of veterans' organizations. Military records can give birth dates, marriage dates, death dates, spouse's and children's names, and localities of residence throughout the life of the family.
Many military records are available at the Family History Library, the National Archives, and the Indiana State Archives in Indianapolis. The United States Military Records Wiki article provides more information on the federal records and search strategies.

Revolutionary War (1775–1783)
The Revolutionary War was fought before Indiana became a territory in 1800. Many veterans of the war came to Indiana. There are many nationwide indexes of Revolutionary War soldiers. For information about these indexes, see the United States Military Records Wiki article, "Revolutionary War" section.
For a master index of Indiana Revolutionary War soldiers see:
- Wolfe, Barbara Schull. Index to Revolutionary Soldiers of Indiana and Other Patriots. Indianapolis, Indiana: Ye Olde Genealogie Shoppe, 1983. (Family History Library book 977.2 M22w) This indexes most of the volumes listed below as well as many other sources.
For lists of soldiers see:
- O'Byrne, Estella C. Roster of Soldiers and Patriots of the American Revolution Buried in Indiana. 1938. Reprint, Baltimore, Maryland: Genealogical Publishing, 1968. (Family History Library book 977.2 M2o 1968; film 873911 item1). Shows birth, marriage, and death information for 1,394 soldiers and patriots. The spouse and children are usually listed. For a soldier index including wives and children see:
- Waters, Margaret R. Index to Roster of Soldiers and Patriots of the American Revolution Buried in Indiana, Indiana D.A.R., 1938. N.p.: M. R. Waters, 1958. (Family History Library book 977.2 M2o Index)
- O'Byrne, Estella C. Roster of Soldiers and Patriots of the American Revolution Buried in Indiana. Brookville, Indiana: Indiana D.A.R., 1966. (Family History Library book 977.2 M2o vol.2; film 1035773 item 7). This is a supplement to O'Byrne's book mentioned above and includes information concerning 350 soldiers whose names are not given in volume one. It also provides additional information on about 130 soldiers who are listed in volume one.
- Miller, Marion H. Source Book for Patriots Buried in Indiana. Indianapolis: Indiana Society D.A.R., 1990. (Family History Library book 977.2 M2m) This lists about 400 additional soldiers not listed in the two books above and gives the name of the soldier, his spouse and children, with birth, marriage, death, and service information.
- Waters, Margaret Ruth. Revolutionary Soldiers Buried in Indiana (1949), With Supplement (1954). Reprint, Two volumes. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing, 1970. (Family History Library book 977.2 M2w; film 1428707 item 4; fiche 6046585.) This book lists about 300 soldiers who are not mentioned in O'Byrne's two books above. It contains the soldier's birth and death date and place, proof of his service, and the names of his children, if known.

War of 1812 (1812–1815)
There are helpful nationwide indexes of service and pension records for soldiers of the War of 1812. For more information, see the United States Military Records Wiki article, "War of 1812"section.
A useful source that lists the Indiana soldiers is:
Franklin, Charles M. Indiana, War of 1812 Soldiers: Militia. Indianapolis: Ye Olde Genealogie Shoppe, 1984. (Family History Library book 977.2 M2fr) This contains transcriptions of muster rolls and payrolls of various companies as they are preserved in the National Archives. There is a surname index.
In 1886, 1890, and 1894, records were made that list some soldiers from the War of 1812 (and later wars), and their widows and orphans:
Indiana Adjutant General. Enrollment of the Late Soldiers, Their Widows, and Orphans of the Late Armies of the United States, Residing in the State of Indiana for the Years 1886–1894. Salt Lake City, Utah: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1988. (On 89 Family History Library films beginning with 1605057). These lists of veterans and their widows and orphans were made by county assessors, starting in 1886. They include veterans of the War of 1812, Indian Wars, and the Civil War. The lists were made in 1886, 1890, and 1894. They list name, rank, company, regiment, state to which the regiment belonged, race, war, present post office address, and number of children under 16. The index to these records is:
Index to Indiana Enrollments of Soldiers, Their Widows and Orphans, 1886, 1890, and 1894.Salt Lake City, Utah: Genealogical Society of Utah, 1988. (On 13 Family History Library films beginning with 1556996). This index provides the name of the person, the county and township of residence, and the year of enrollment. The records are in order by county, township, then alphabetical by surname. This index is a partial substitute for the 1890 census. The original records are at the Indiana State Archives, and the card index is in the Genealogy Division of the Indiana State Library. The index is to the 1886 Enumeration; if it was missing for a township or town, then the 1890 Enumeration was used; if both were missing, the 1894 Enumeration was used. The original enumerations are a second set, with the first set deposited in the Clerk of the Circuit Court's office. Whenever an enumeration was missing at the Indiana State Archives, the clerk's copy, if found, was microfilmed and is in the Family History Library.
"Index to War of 1812 Pension Application Files," a multi-roll microfilm set, is available at the Indiana State Library and in The Genealogy Center of the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne.
The Genealogy Center of the Allen County Public Library also has Indiana Territory Militia muster rolls, payrolls and receipt rolls for the War of 1812 on microfilm.

Greensboro is a city in North Carolina. It is named after Nathanael Greene, a Patriot general who fought a battle here during the Revolutionary War. Population is about 250,000. The famous author William Sydney Porter, better known as O. Henry, was born here. It can be sleepy and genteel but is enjoying a newfound reputation as a great place for young people. Downtown especially is experiencing a surfeit of bars, music venues and restaurants.
Get in
By plane
Piedmont Triad International Airport (IATA: GSO), [7] (PTI as the locals refer to it), has around 75 daily flights to most major hubs on the east coast.

Other recommendations
Stay safe
Greensboro is a charming southern city but has its share of crime just like any other large area in the state. Common sense is your best friend; don't ever leave your car unlocked or with valuables visible. Walk in well-lit places at night, especially downtown. The South and East sides of the city are a bit rougher than the rest, and Lee Street in particular is rather sketchy. Best to drive through if you don't have specific business there. When going to places late night on High Point Road, be aware of your surroundings--this is one of the areas that has seen the most increase in late-night crime. Cops are everywhere and generally helpful but remember they are VERY serious about what they do.

Jamie Donaldson of Wales aces 6th hole, 24th golfer to make hole-in-one at the Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga. – Jamie Donaldson has made a hole-in-one at the Masters.
The Welsh golfer aced the sixth hole during Thursday's opening round. He becomes the fifth golfer to make a 1 at the 180-yard hole known as Juniper. And it's the first since Chris DiMarco in 2004.
Overall, it was the 24th ace in Masters history. Last year, Bo Van Pelt and Adam Scott made holes-in-one at No. 16.
Donaldson's brilliant shot left him at 1 under for the tournament, three strokes behind the leader, David Lynn of England.

March 12, 2010 – The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has produced an interactive storybook, "I Know My Fire Safety Plan," for teachers and parents of children with autism to work with the child on what to do if a smoke alarm sounds. The story is designed for high functioning children with autism ages 6 to 9. It can also be helpful to children with other developmental disabilities.
"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 110 children in the United States have an autism spectrum disorder. It is important that we reach children on the autism spectrum and encourage parents and caregivers to use this new NFPA educational tool to help children understand what they should do to escape safely when they hear the smoke alarm sound," said Lisa Braxton, NFPA public education division project manager.
"I Know My Fire Safety Plan" breaks down important points into easy-to-follow steps and uses the social story format, a commonly used communication tool for children with autism. It acknowledges the apprehension children with autism may feel when a smoke alarm sounds or loud fire trucks with firefighters in turnout gear enter the neighborhood. Parents are advised to practice their fire safety plan with their children, and then read the story with them.
Participants are encouraged to use the interactive story to its full capacity by typing in their name, age, physical features, and the location of their outdoor meeting place. Children can also take part in the story by clicking on the corner of each page to turn it and they may start and stop at will.
The interactive story has been reviewed, at all stages of development, by the NFPA public education division's Parents and Teachers of Children with Disabilities Advisory Group. It has also been reviewed by a psychologist from a school that serves children and adults with autism and by a respected author of manuals on crafting social stories.
Learn more about this and other resources for people with disabilities.
NFPA has been a worldwide leader in providing fire, electrical, building, and life safety to the public since 1896. The mission of the international nonprofit organization is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training, and education.

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Wendee Brunish: nuclear explosion phenomenology
"So that others may live"
The motto of the Los Alamos canine search and rescue organization that Wendee Brunish supports aptly defines her life, too.
At work, this Lab astrophysicist spends long hours searching the planet for concealed weapons of mass destruction. Dedicated to halting terrorists, Brunish studies nuclear explosion phenomenology, helping finding and characterizing underground facilities, where weapons of mass destruction (chemical, biological, or nuclear) or conventional weapons are being built or stored.
After hours—and often for days in dangerous conditions—she's searching steep, heavily wooded mountains for missing persons.
Nuclear explosion phenomenology studies address real world concerns
A technical staff member at the Lab since 1984, Brunish works in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Division. She studied chemistry (inspired by both of her parents) at Vassar College before switching majors and obtaining a master's and doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Illinois.
Dedicated to halting terrorists, Brunish studies nuclear explosion phenomenology, helping finding and characterizing underground facilities, where weapons of mass destruction (chemical, biological, or nuclear) or conventional weapons are being built or stored.
Expanding horizons for young women
Brunish is equally dedicated to supporting diversity and mentoring women at all stages of their lives.
A member of the Laboratory Women's Committee and first chair of the Employee Advisory Committee, she helped establish the Lab's Ombuds Office.
She regularly participates in the Expanding Your Horizons workshops, which increase young women's interest in and awareness of mathematics, science, and other nontraditional professions.
She also founded an organization that rescues animals.
Not just a girl—overcoming gender stereotypes
Brunish knows how difficult it is for women in sciences, having encountered discrimination many times.
Once when presented to a classroom of college students that she'd be teaching, a professor introduced her as "this pretty little girl." At technical meetings, Brunish is often the only woman in the room, and she says women are still treated differently.
Women still have to prove themselves every time they enter a science arena, says Brunish, whereas when male scientists meet other males, they presume they are knowledgeable.
She looks forward to the day when there are enough female scientists and engineers so that they no longer have to go above and beyond to prove their technical prowess.
Breaking boundaries to reach a common goal
She says the most vital traits for women in science are perseverance and "just enough orneriness so that when someone says, 'You can't,' you just try harder."
"I am most proud of the fact that I am one of the few women at Los Alamos, in the United States and in the world to work on the containment of underground nuclear tests," says Brunish. "Vital to weapons testing, the containment team worked together to achieve a common goal of great importance."
"No one stopped to think about organizational boundaries or gender or ethnicity, because we all had to work really hard and cooperate closely or we would not get the job done."
A dash of humor never hurts
When thinking of what the themes of The Women in History Monthly worldwide—character, courage and commitment—means to her, Brunish touts cooperation and reliability founded on hard work.
With a dash of humor thrown in!
A tireless advocate for people and pets alike, in 1995 Brunish was awarded the Governor's Award for Outstanding New Mexico Women.

Use of Scilab for space mission analysis
By Thierry Martin, CNES
Scilab has been used successfully for now several years, in CNES (French National Space Agency), in order to carry out flight dynamics activities and mission analysis (orbit design). The presentation will explain how Scilab is used throughout the satellite cycle of life, ie from the early trajectory design phases up to the operations. Scilab is one tool within the rich software environment and we will present how Scilab fit within the various tools used. Finally, we will give some words on the development and use of an orbit analysis toolbox written in Scilab.

Sheriff's Office will be raised high tonight despite an order by President Barack Obama that flags across the country be lowered to half-staff to honor the death of iconic South African leader Nelson Mandela.Sheriff Rick Clark told The Greenville News that he has ordered the flag be raised at the end of today because he said the honor of lowering flags to half-staff should be reserved for Americans."The flag at half-staff is for Americans' ultimate sacrifice for our country," Clark said. "We should never stray away from that."The flag has flown at half-staff and will continue to during daylight hours today in honor of a Lowcountry law enforcement officer who was killed and in honor of Pearl Harbor Day, Clark said.However, come tonight, the flag will be raised, he said.On Thursday, Obama ordered that flags be flown at half-staff on public grounds until sunset Monday.The federal flag code "does not prescribe any penalties for non-compliance nor does it include enforcement provisions" and "functions simply as a guide to be voluntarily followed by civilians and civilian groups," according to a U.S. congressional report commissioned by the U.S. Senate.In a proclamation issued Thursday ordering flags at half-staff, Obama said that Mandela "achieved more than could be expected of any man.""While we mourn his loss, we will forever honor Nelson Mandela's memory," the president said. "He left behind a South Africa that is free and at peace with itself — a close friend and partner of the United States. And his memory will be kept in the hearts of billions who have been lifted up by the power of his example."Mandela is regarded the world over for his leadership in bringing South Africa out of the racial discrimination known as apartheid. Mandela was imprisoned in 1964 for his revolutionary activities and wasn't released until 27 years later.In 1994, Mandela was elected president of South Africa and lived a philanthropic life until his death Thursday at the age of 95.
All anyone has to do if find one instance of the death of anyone else not a US citizen where the flags were flown at half mast in Greenville.....whatta putz.
Upon presidential proclamation, which has recently included: the interment of Frank Buckles,[24] the death of Senator Ted Kennedy,[25] the remembrance of the 9/11 attacks,[26] the death of Pope John Paul II,[27] the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003,[28] the victims of Hurricane Katrina,[29] the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami,[30] the deaths of Coretta Scott King[31] and Rosa Parks,[32] the Virginia Tech massacre,[33] the Fort Hood massacre,[34] the 2011 Tucson shooting, the funeral of Neil Armstrong,[35] the death of Libyan Ambassador Chris Stephens, the 2012 shooting in Aurora Colorado, the 2012 Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting, the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings,[36] the death of Nelson Mandela,[37] the 2013 Washington D.C Navy Yard shooting, and the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F.

This year's crew, the third for the school, has entirely new blood. Members include: John King, Wyatt LaGrone, Conner Blackfront, Ryan Vogt, and Malique Fluellen.
After their successful trip to Dallas, the team will be serving shrimp and crawfish at the April Classic Car Cruize at Gilmer Discount Tire and Brake on Hwy 155 Thursday, April 26.
At both events, members of the team will exhibit a recently renovated solar car with a new single rear wheel and a shortened roof assembly with the same solar panels and batteries. With the new, 3-footed structure which the students designed using CAD, the team hopes the third edition of the Piney Woods Raycer will be both quicker in response and more stable.
Concessions for the Cruize will be a crawfish and shrimp boil to benefit the Piney Woods Raycers solar car team based at Gilmer High School.
The solar car team will begin serving at 5:30 and will close the concession at 7:30 p.m. Customers can choose between crawfish, hot and mild, and shrimp. Both will be served with a potato, corn on the cob and a drink for $7.50.
Come see the work the team had done to improve the rear suspension and eat crawfish.
This weekend, Earth Day Dallas, is a two day event Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., in Fair Park in the Esplanade with the outdoor exhibits collected around the reflecting pool. Leilani Munter, a biology major turned race car driver, is one of the leading personalities to attend the event.
Visitors will be able to learn about how to become a master naturalist or a master gardener, the role of bees, butterflies, birds, and herbs in the garden, and even how to raise chickens in an urban environment.
The Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico will also perform, and the DFW Truck Farm 5K race will kick off the event.
Earth Day Dallas is a unique, engaging and entertaining family-friendly experience that empowers the attendees with relevant information and clear steps to take and to utilize available resources to switch to eco-friendly projects and to support important non-profit environmental organizations.

There are two more bus stations from where one can get interstate and intercity buses. These bus stations are situated in Bapunagar and Nehrunagar. The bus services for cities like Vadodra, Rajkot, Surat, Gandhidham, Jamnagar, Junagarh, and other cities of Gujarat can be availed from these bus stations. Buses for other states such as Rajasthan, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh can be found from S.T. bus stop. GSRTC operates a range of buses including luxury, semi-luxury, express, ordinary, and intercity express bus services. The fare of these buses is reasonable and the condition of buses is also good. You can book your tickets through makemytrip.com for the desired destination. The online ticket service offered by this website is convenient and user-friendly. Apart from bus services offered by GSRTC, there are several private bus operators in Ahmedabad who offer excellent and extremely comfortable and luxurious bus services. Some of these operators include Ekta Travels, Akhil Bharat tours and Travels, Eagle Travels, Jamnagar Travels and Neeta Travels. The private operators offer bus services to cities including Baroda, Gandhidham, Surat, Gondal, Jamnagar, Virpur, Junagarh, Diu, Chotila, and Bhachau. These private operators ply some very good buses such as Volvo, AC Sleeper, AC Seater, and so on. The fare of these private buses is not on the higher side considering the comfort and luxury provided by them. A trip from Ahmedabad to Mumbai would cost you around INR 600 for non-sleeper bus while you will have to shell INR 900 for a sleeper AC bus for the same destination. If you plan to travel by GSRTC buses, then you have to book your ticket at least 15 minutes before the departure of the bus, whereas tickets for the private buses can be booked in advance www.makemytrip.com. On this site you can also access information about the type of buses, fare structure, and other transport related information. The site also offers various schemes for travelers from time to time. So, next time if you plan to visit Ahmedabad or any other city from Ahmedabad, do not forget to book your tickets well in advance through this site.

Charley Gyder, 77
SUN CITY, Ariz. — Charley Gyder of Sun City was born April 6, 1934, in Franklin, Penn., to Ruth and Charles Gyder and was the youngest of three children.
Charley attended Penn State University in 1952 with the ROTC Program and graduated in 1956 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering.
In 1954, Charley married his high school sweetheart, Mary Jane Widel. After graduating from Penn State, Charley joined the Navy as an officer and became an aviator, serving on board the USS Ranger. He left active duty in 1963 and served in the Naval Reserve for the next three years, and from 1975-85, he served in the Air Force National Guard, retiring in 1985 as a major.
Charley joined Mobil Oil in 1963 and spent 10 years in management before moving his family to Arizona to work for the Arizona Public Service in 1973. Charley had a mind for business and in 1979 he purchased Wilhelm Automotive Service which now has five locations in the Phoenix area. He was active on the National Board of Directors for both the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and the Automotive Service Association (ASA) promoting the welfare of independent repair shops and training for automotive technicians.
Charley loved Peoria and was constantly looking for ways to improve the lives of those living there. Charley and Mary Jane were instrumental in the campaign to raise funds to build a new Performing Art Center to house Theater Works in downtown Peoria. He was an enthusiastic philanthropist and shared his passion for business and community as an active member in Shriners, Rotary, Elks, Lions, and Theater Works. When Mary Jane passed away in 2003, after 49 years of marriage, the Main Stage at Theater Works was dedicated to her for the work they did to bring Performing Arts and Culture to Peoria.
On Oct. 2, 2004, Charley met and married Edna Garrett, a retired Blackfoot teacher. Soon after, they began to share their time between the warm winters of Sun City and the cool summers of Blackfoot. Charley had many interests and friends.
He enjoyed golfing as often as he could and traveled to many known and unknown places. Charley stayed active in the community, loved his family and friends, and passed away doing what he loved most, playing golf.
Charley is survived by his wife, Edna Garrett-Gyder; his five sons: Gary, Greg, Thom, Chuck, and Doug; his sister, Joann Stewart, his brother, Paul; four stepsons, 24 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren.
A memorial service celebrating his life will be held on May 28, 2011, at the Jason Lee Memorial United Methodist Church, 168 S. University, Ave., Blackfoot at 3 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be contributed to Jason Lee United Methodist Church Building Fund or to Theater Works in Peoria, Ariz.

Your question is why I thought maybe it was the 1960s. But then it is hard to know who was imitating whom. What if one day we find out that one of the great designers borrowed all of their designs from a poor guy... and didn't even give him a penny after stealing all of his work. Oh, the horror.

Ahh, those halcyon days when quality time meant calling the babysitter or grammy to watch over the kids while mommy and daddy went out on a date to gaze into each other's eyes over dinner, only to recall what it was like to be free of responsibility.
Or, sacrificing several appointments on your calendar in order to spend quality time with one of your children since you have five or six of them and can't remember their names; let alone the fact that you've forgotten to engage in real conversation with them.
Some might ask, "Well, with all this communications technology on the rise, we're engaged in constant communication. So, what's the big worry?"
High technology is mesmerizing. It is sensational and attractive. We just can't let it go.
It exercises the sensory portion of our brains that appeals to us as much as staring at fireworks, hearing ocean sounds, smelling bread, tasting sweets or touching bubble wrap.
High technology seems to appeal to all the senses. Are we hedonistic?
As much as we want to believe that high technology will foster connection, we might be gravely wrong. It's the word "connection" that we want to address.
Since we humans seem to favor fast over slow, these connections seem to be much faster (and more abundant) these days. Since our brains are becoming more accustomed to faster, and more, connections, the other brain portions are not being worked.
As Kenzie Yoshimura so aptly states in E-Views (Jan. 19), "The same technology … that allows us to keep up with the world is also what is ironically leading us farther away from the people in it."
As our other brain portions aren't being tweaked, we're forgetting about the countless advantages of slowing down. We're forgetting about quality time again because we're so caught up in all of it that we're forgetting to call the babysitter or grammy or stopping anything in order to take a deep breath.
We're forgetting to tweak a basic need for intimacy; that simple moment it takes to gaze into someone's eyes. That simple second it takes to connect with someone at a deeper level other than sensory.
As technological advances "will only add to the growing void in how we relate to one another," it is our responsibility to realize that we have the power to turn off our sensory switches in order to accommodate our emotional switches.
Now that it's the 21st century, perhaps our quality time can be defined as temporarily nixing all sophisticated equipment in order to be free of responsibility. In order to have more face-to-face time. Now, THAT'S a hot date.
Mary Jane Heppe lives in Hood River. She owns one iPhone and one Mac. "Both are avoided/turned off/not on the table when I want a real conversation."

Professional Development on the Menu for MA-HRIR students
The Development and Dinner series lets students practice relevant skills while networking with their colleagues
The MA-HRIR program serves a variety of students, from those just emerging from their undergraduate studies to HR professionals who have been in the workforce for 20 years. To bring the various groups together and foster even greater collegiality, the program recently created the Development and Dinner series.
Twice each semester, students have the opportunity to take part in a professional development course, free of charge, and network with program colleagues over dinner.
"There are so many great people in our program, amazing students with hugely varied backgrounds," says Stacy Doepner-Hove, director of the MA-HRIR program. "Hopefully this will be a good chance to get them together to meet, work together, and get to know each other while they are still students in the program."
The first Development and Dinner session focused on improvisational training that taught students important human resource skills in listening, observation, collaboration, and risk taking.
"Improv theater is the art of creating something out of nothing, instantly," says Doepner-Hove. "Students were able to learn new methods for creative and effective problem-solving in a safe environment for active communications."
The next Development and Dinner session will be held in November, and students are invited to choose what topics they are most interested in.
"We hope these out-of-the-classroom learning experiences will be of interest to all of our students, and will help connect them to the program, and to the school in the future as well," says Doepner-Hove.

Extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields disrupt magnetic alignment of ruminants
Made me chuckle.
The scientists who brought the world proof that, in keeping with ancient lore, cows really do graze along a north-south axis, have found the reason they sometimes fail to display their natural animal magnetism. To recap, as we reported back in August last year, Sabine Begall and colleagues at the University of Duisburg-Essen …
Made me chuckle.
And we care about this, why?
Paris, because she doesn't care either.
... we can assume that if there are no power lines nearby then a ruminant can be used as a compass? What about if you suspend one in mid-air or wrap it in tin foil?
What a load of bull-ocks
so what does this mean later when I feel the need to push one of these over later.
I should take a compass and approach from the east unless there are overhead powerlines??
Is there any Darwinian advantage to be gained by bovine polar alignment?
I think follow-up research is urgently required.
Are cows like fluorescent tubes?
If you stick them under a high tension cable, do they light up?
To call this a load of bullocks? Or a load of Bull?
Did they bother to check the topography of the space? The fields might have been rectangular, and the cows might be aligned length-wise to maximise feeding efficiency by traversing in a straight line, without having to turn around for the next bite - like a hoover in a rectangular room,
Or there might have been many cows and they aligned along the shorter edge of the rectangle, to maximise personal feeding space - like many hoovers in a rectangular room (all operational at the same time).
Just browsing Google Earth does not constitute research.
Could I get a grant to further investigate my lines of thought?
I'm shocked that you missed the fact that the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is abbreviated to PNAS. It's caused more than one female scientist to turn red after realizing what they've just said.
Why do they align north-south? Does the head always face one way and the pat-producer the other? Do they lie down when it rains? Do they really make shoes out of them? Are there red ones? If not, why is the pub down the road named after one?
Who will answer my cow questions?
No worries, I've already got it.
Would it also explain why humans sometimes prefer sleeping in a certain orientation? Like I prefer sleeping north-south (and can't get a good nights sleep at my flat compared to at my parent's home)?
Once upon a time there was field research. It often involved hard slog and getting your hands dirty - especially where cows were concerned. Then along came Gurgle Earth. Now "researchers" can sit around in their offices doing field research without going anywhere near a field.
So the researchers sit chewing their own cud without doing any real research. This is proof, if proof were needed, that our days are numbered. We really are evolving along two seperate paths; those who use technology to make their lives ever easier and will breed a race of unhealthy, unfit, pasty faced (and therefore unattractrive) slobs; and the sporty types who don't use technology like this who will evolve into a healthy and attractive race. A few generations down the line it's unlikely that homo sporticus will want to interbreed with homo lazycus so the latter will become increasingly unlikely to survive since they probably won't have the energy or inclination to breed among themselves being more inclined to simply surf porn.
Paris? She'll probably fall on the homo sporticus side, but the homo lazycus side will not doubt spend time browsing her videos.
There are about a dozen other reasons why herds may tend towards grazing north-south. The mean direction of the sun may be significant enough (either to North or South).
Like growth patterns of grass responding to the average direction of the sun. Or responding to predator behaviour that favours attacking out from one direction.
Speculation about magnetic fields and power lines offers nothing like anything conclusive proof. And that's even before we consider why herds would care anything about magnetic fields.
Or perhaps, Dr Begall, you are wrong and there is no such thing as cattle alignment. Who knows why Cows face one way. Perhaps they like to catch the sun. You certainly don't see the effect with pigeons (proximity perhaps?) You have don't have to look at any fields to see the BS here
Having been lost in the countryside far from a mobile receiver or even roadsigns of any kind, this insight would have saved me several hours of distress, given the number of cows I came across.
Did these boffins happen to record the direction of the enclosing fences?
Well, if genuine scientific evidence turns up that animal behaviour is affected by magnetic fields, and that man made electromagnetic fields like power lines and so on affect this then I'd say that was potentially dynamite... Because suddenly what I've always figured was crazy posturing about health efects of mobile phones and the like gains a quantum leap in credibility because biological effects of weak electromagnetic fields have been demonstrated... Whether that jump in credibility is enough to bring it out of the crazy posturing class into the "maybe we should consider this" category there's no way of knowing yet. So there's the IT angle...
Reads like the perfect entry for the Ignobel Awards
Paris, cos she loves her udders
Satellite pics tend to be taken with sun high above and perhaps the cows prefer their faces or arses in the sun?
Cows will put their arses into the wind when it is raining so that they don't get rain on their faces. Of course the clouds obscure that preventing it from showing up on GEarth.
If it really is the magnetic fields then it should be easy to verify. The cows will feel the same magnetic fields as a pocket compass. Send in a troop of boy scouts and see if they point in the same direction as the cows. Alternatively the government research funds can stand a 5 quid Silva for this important research
Basil Short_Trousers: "What about if you suspend one in mid-air or wrap it in tin foil?".
In that case, you get a compass and a packed lunch.
As for ... Mike Richards: "Are cows like fluorescent tubes. If you stick them under a high tension cable, do they light up?"
That depends on how close you get them to the high tension cable, but that tends to apply to anything near a HT cable, including you. :)
Maybe the cows magnetic alignment has been engineered by Alien Abductors, to make them easier to low fly skim a field, to pick them up more efficiently. In that case, if you suddenly feel compelled to face a given direction, it could be you are about to be abducted. The normal procedure would be to wear a tin foil hat, but I advise caution, as Basil Short_Trousers may think you are his packed lunch.
My missus faces any way she bloody well likes
Are made out of melted cows or something. Perhaps they can be used for navigation.
The planes taking the aerial photos usually fly north/south. Just a thought...
now where's the TinFoil,
them Cyber Cows are buzzin for more....
Further to my earlier posting...
This morning I drove ~65km through rural NZ on the way to work. I went past approx 30 groups of cows, as well as numerous other ruminants (sheep -- duh, this is NZ -- and deer).
In some fields, the animals were pretty random,
In some fields they were predominantly north south.
In some fields they were predominantly east west.
Part of my journey was through a cool valley. The cows in the cooler areas with sun on them were predominantly north/south. That gave them the maximum body area exposed to the sun to warm up.
Part of the journey was over plains with a warm breeze. The cows there were predominantly east west, reducing the amount of surface area exposed to the sun.
Those in shady fields were the most random.
Looks to me like the sun is a bigger factor than magnetics.
"Why do they align north-south?"
- Clearly they are made of iron so align on the magnetic poles. (I assume we are talking Magnetic North and not True North?)
"Does the head always face one way and the pat-producer the other?"
- Well, obviously... otherwise that implies the cow has its head up its arse
"Do they lie down when it rains?"
- The old tradition says they lie down if it is /going to/ rain. Nothing about what happens when it is actually raining.
"Do they really make shoes out of them?"
- And the nice steak on my plate.
"Are there red ones?"
- Of course there are. See question one. This colour appears if you leave your cows out in the rain too long and they rust. OR if you take their skin off to make sure without making steak at the same time.
"If not, why is the pub down the road named after one?"
- Clearly a rusty Bull. Or is the barman wearing a pair of kinky leather boots?
Honestly... the kinds of stupid questions that townies come out with.
Which one would make a female scientist blush:
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Peptide nucleic acids
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons
purine nucleoside analogues
I just don't know.
the simplest explanation?
Well we know that pigeons and some other birds navigate by magnetism using a little iron rich lump in their heads. Experiments have made RC pigeons by controlling coils around their heads.
Also from NZ, they align to the sun for heat or cool, and usually point smelly end to extremes of wind.
Mines the one with the velcro gloves in the pocket...
Given a very strong magnet and a large enough herd will they arrange themselves like iron filings in a giant school science experiment?
Would we now be reading about "pig iron"?

"she loves her udders"
Heck, I would too, given the chance!
Well, obviously... otherwise that implies the cow has its head up its arse
So glad nothing in mouth to keep me from laughing...can't stop. thank you
Years ago a friend who worked as a lineman told me that he used cows to find pylons with bad earths (grounds). If the grounding was suspect on a National Grid or Super Grid pylon, the voltage gradient across the field would actually be detectable (and presumably unpleasant) to the cattle. If a herd of cattle stood in proximity to a pylon but none actually faced it or faced away from it, that was - in his opinion - a likely candidate.
I once asked him why the cows didn't simply move away from such pylons. He couldn't say.
My theory? The deadly magnetic radiation from these electric death wires of lethal death had magnetised the cattle, causing them to be sucked in toward the steel pylon. This is why butchers have to use stainless steel tables and sinks: the steaks would stick to regular steel like huge, blood-soaked fridge magnets.
I have a question: Why is it that the people who believe power lines give you brain cancer because of the EMR they emit are generally also those who believe Tesla was a genius who should have been allowed to deploy his radiative power distribution system?
I don't dispute the genius part of course. Anyone who could invent AC and black out whole towns during his experiments gets that qualification in my book.
Anyway, glad to see the register is getting back to the hard-hitting scientific reporting they do so well and laying off the boring computer stories that have clogged the site of late.
Headline: "Boffins finger reason for non-aligned cows"
And we have the story about the chap with a USB finger...
And I'm not even going to go to "fingering" - I'm just sad that the following word was "reason" and not "Paris..."
Anyone who's been into Barnsley's famous 'trotters a-go-go' will note the random configurations displayed by the cows on the dance floor. I'm not usually prone to masogonistic diatribe, however if you have been there you will understand my sentiment
