The N.Y.E. Group necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 169 diseños de 33 diseñadores freelance.
How often do you sit online and try to figure out where to go and what to do, but you just end up getting stuck looking at the same four websites? Wouldn't it be great to have a website that gave you some suggestions based on your interests?
Fetcheo.com will "fetch" information from around the web for people who may not know exactly what they are trying to find. Hopefully, this will help not only the user, but also the sites we suggest.
As far as the underlying company and developers, we like to think of ourselves as innovative and edgy with a side of traditional.
Our primary audience is anyone who is tired of being bored online. Doesn't help much, does it? This can range anywhere from the stay at home mom to the bored college student.
Design: Go wild and be creative, but we do like the whole web 2.0 feel.
Suggestions: We're open to whatever you have to offer. You're the graphic designer - not us. That said, we wouldn't mind seeing some options incorporating a dog or some sort of design in addition to the wording (but not super cartoon-y). You know, FETCHeo. Again, this is definitely not mandatory and you're the designer. If you have a better idea, we'd much rather see that.
Color scheme: Again, open, but we need for it to look good on a variety of backgrounds so hopefully the logo will have colors that will work with a number of other colors. We are not thinking a random bright green here. We will be working with more subtle colors - think a light green, light blue, black, light grey as backgrounds.
Format: ideally a vector format so we can resize and play around with it. Since we plan on using it on a variety of backgrounds, we need the final product to have a transparent background.
Solid color option: Once you have your idea and the draft version of the logo, we would also like to see the logo as a solid color (think a plain white logo on black and vice versa) that can be used in later print work and in other locations on the site.
Favicon: extra points to those designs that translate well into a favicon.
We will be extremely involved in this process and will give feedback as soon as possible.

1. Additional federal spending transfers resources from the more productive private sector to the less productive public sector of the economy. The bulk of federal spending goes toward subsidies and benefit payments, which generally do not enhance economic productivity. With lower productivity, average American incomes will fall.

In response to this week's news that the beleaguered U.S. Postal Service is facing $238 in losses over the coming decade, Charles Krauthammer lamented the inevitable demise of the government mail monopoly:
Ray LaHood as Santa Claus
U.S. News & World Report's columnist, Paul Bedard, reports that Transportation secretary Ray LaHood told him that it's fun playing Santa Claus to states and cities around the nation.
Privatize the U.S. Postal Service
In August, President Barack Obama commented that "UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. … It's the post office that's always having problems." We found out just how deep those problems were when Postmaster General John Potter announced that the U.S. Postal Service is facing $238 billion in losses over the next 10 years.
Federal Aid to States is Too Popular
The Economist's Free Exchange blog asks: "[W]hy isn't federal aid to states more popular, and popular enough to get through Congress, given that nearly every American lives in one?"
More Black Eyes for DHS
The Department of Homeland Security is in the news for a range of management problems. Bureaucratic bungling at DHS has been an agency hallmark since its creation in 2003. In 2008, the House Committee on Homeland Security counted $15 billion worth of failed DHS contracts for various projects since its inception.
EDA, NADO, & Appropriations Hearings
A couple weeks ago Orson Swindle, an assistant secretary of commerce for economic development in the Reagan Administration, was kind enough to send me news articles from his days battling policymakers over porky Economic Development Administration projects. In a 1989 Insight article, Orson gave a nice summation of one of the problems with special interest spending:

Businesses Cite Government as the Problem
According to the latest Small Business Economic Trends survey conducted by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, 31 percent of respondents said the single most important problem facing small businesses is "poor sales." "Taxes" and "Government Regulations and Red Tape" came in second and third place at 22 percent and 13 percent respectively. Combining the two, the biggest problem facing small businesses according to respondents is government.

E-Discussion Forum - Gender equality in education: Looking beyond parity - 26 March to 6 April 2012
The IIEP 2012 e-forum will build on the IIEP evidence-based policy forum of the same title held in October 2011 as part of the comprehensive follow-up on forum recommendations proposed by participants. In order to ensure continual collaboration on issues relating to gender, the online forum will bring together a number of actors, including participants who were unable to attend the IIEP evidence-based policy forum in 2011, to carry on this knowledge exchange.
The e-forum will resume the debate initiated during this event on how the education system can function pro-actively in the equal interests of girls and of boys, men and women, on an interactive virtual platform. It will look at evidence, experience, and research from around the world at two different levels. Firstly, at the school and classroom levels through analysis of gender differences in student learning achievement; and secondly to examine how gender equality can be enhanced in relation to educational leadership in planning and management.
For further information, please email us at email@example.com.

MIDDLETOWN, R.I. – Opening the New England Football Conference (NEFC) season on the road, MIT held a 21-16 halftime lead against Salve Regina University but the Seahawks scored 13 fourth-quarter points and shut out the Engineers in the second half to come away with a 29-21 win. Senior Jake Laux (Dousman, Wis.) led the MIT defense with 15 tackles and recovered a fumble for a touchdown, while junior Justin Wallace (Palatine, Ill.) ran for 60 yards and a score for the Engineers.
MIT (2-1, 0-1 NEFC) was put in a hole early when Salve Regina (2-1, 1-0 NEFC) held the Engineers on the first possession of the game, forcing a punt. Senior John Wenzel (Mandeville, La.) got off a 39-yard boot, but Phil Terio took the ball at his own 39 and eluded the MIT defenders all the way to the end zone for a 61-yard TD return for the Seahawks. Senior Joel Santisteban (Lawrence, N.Y.) blocked the extra point attempt, leaving the score at 6-0 just two minutes in. The Engineers got the score back on Salve's first possession when sophomore Alex Noakes (Watkinsville, Ga.) sacked Seahawk quarterback Steven Wilken for a 16-yard loss to the SRU 11. Wilken fumbled on the play and the ball got into the end zone where Laux pounced on it for the score and a 7-6 MIT lead.
Salve Regina came right back with a 30-yard field goal from Christian Clark that capped off a 64-yard drive that was kept alive by a Wilken 52-yard run on a third and one play. MIT's defense then came up big again on the next Seahawk possession when senior Rhys Borchert (Pocatello, Idaho) picked off Wilken at the SRU 43. On the next play junior Peter Williams (Portland, Ore.) hit sophomore Nathan Varady (Fayetteville, Ark.) with a 34-yard pass to give the Engineers a first and goal. Two plays later junior Brad Goldsberry (Elizabeth, Colo.) took it in from the one to put MIT back on top, 14-9, with 39 second left in the first quarter.
Salve Regina saw Alex Hulme return the ensuing kickoff 28 yards to the 43, setting up the Seahawks for an answering score. Wilken hit back-to-back 15-yard passes, the second a scoring strike to Matthew Traynor that put Salve back on top, 16-14. Williams hit sophomore Karson Ota (Katy, Texas) for 56 yards on MIT's next play to give the Engineers a first and goal, but was then intercepted by Frank Musco in the end zone to thwart the scoring chance for the Engineers
The defenses then took over and the two sides traded punts on the next four possessions. With two minutes left in the half Wenzel came up with MIT's second interception of the game, picking off Wilken at the SRU 46. Williams then hit Ota for 24 yards to the SRU 22, Goldsberry ran for eight and then Wallace took it the final 14 for the score and another lead change, putting the Engineers on top 21-16 at the 1:03 mark.
Salve Regina drove to the MIT 10 on the first possession of the second half, but the Engineers held on a fourth-down play and turned around to drive to the SRU 25 before stalling. Freshman Tucker Cheyne (Avon, Conn.) came on for a 42-yard field goal, but his attempt was blocked by Hayden Stanton to keep it a five-point contest. The quarter went on to remain scoreless, with both teams coming up with interceptions to halt drives.
MIT pinned Salve Regina on its own six late in the third quarter, but the Seahawks went on to put together a 14-play scoring drive that resulted in a nine-yard TD run by Richie Edwards. Salve went for two, but Wilken's pass attempt failed, leaving the Seahawks with a 22-21 edge. After Salve held MIT on its next possession, the Seahawks went 81 yards in a quick two minutes, with Wilken hitting Paul Panarelli for a 41-yard TD with 7:11 left hat proved to be the final points of the day. MIT had a final chance with two minutes to go, but Williams was intercepted for the third time on the day, this time by Terio at the MIT 28, and the Seahawks went on to run out the clock and preserve the victory.
Williams hit on 15 of his 26 attempts for 214 yards, but threw the three interceptions. Ota led the receivers with four catches for 85 yards. Wilken completed 16 of 28 for 181 yards and two scores and was also intercepted three times. Edwards led the Seahawks with 120 yards and one TD rushing, while Hulme and Dan Buonocore each made five catches to top Salve Regina. Danny Ives led the Seahawk defense with 11 tackles.
MIT will make its long awaited home debut this season next Saturday when it hosts Curry College at 1:00 p.m. in Steinbrenner Stadium. Salve Regina will be on the road next weekend, taking on Nichols College at 1:00 p.m.

Bedroom Desks: Yea or Nay
I'm not talking desks where you get serious work done here - that would make it difficult to relax in what should be the most calming room of the home. But a small desk in the bedroom can be helpful for small tasks and leisurely letter-writing (if that's done at all anymore!). Here are some examples:
My own home has a very tiny desk in the bedroom (first image). I use it to store thank-you's, paper, pens, envelopes, a couple of books, and a few small accessories. The desktop is a perfect place to surf the net a little before hitting the sack. I could bring the computer to bed with me, but that just leads to staying online for way too long and losing sleep.
I suppose a very small space could double up and use the desk as a bedside table (image three), but I'm not sure I'd want a desk that close to my head when trying to sleep.
Do you use a desk in the bedroom? How do you put it to use?

Biological and Environmental Research (BER)
The Genomic Science program supports fundamental research on plant and microbial systems biology to advance DOE missions in energy, climate, and environment.
Program Description
DOE's Genomic Science Program supports DOE mission driven fundamental research aimed at identifying the foundational principles that drive biological systems. These principles govern the translation of genetic codes into integrated networks of catalytic proteins, regulatory elements, and metabolite pools underlying the functional processes of organisms. It is the dynamic interaction of these nested subsystems that ultimately determine the overall systems biology of plants, microbes, and multispecies communities. The ultimate goal of this program is to achieve sufficient understanding of the fundamental rules and dynamic properties of these systems to develop predictive computational models of biological systems and new approaches for rational biosystems design.
Advancing fundamental understanding of these systems bridges critical knowledge gaps that must be addressed to enable biological solutions to critical DOE missions. Development of innovative approaches for sustainable bioenergy production will be accelerated by systems biology understanding of non-food plants that can serve as dedicated cellulosic biomass feedstocks or microbes capable of deconstructing biomass into their sugar subunits and synthesizing next generation biofuels (either from cellulosic biomass or through direct photosynthetic conversion). The Genomic Science program's research also brings the -omics driven tools of modern system biology to bear on analyzing interactions between organisms that form biological communities and with their surrounding environments. Understanding the relationships between molecular-scale functional biology and ecosystem-scale environmental processes illuminates the basic mechanisms that drive biogeochemical cycling of metals and nutrients, large scale carbon cycle processes, and greenhouse gas emissions in terrestrial ecosystems or bioenergy landscapes.
The major objectives of the Genomic Science program are to:

Choosing the right person to help you sell your home is one of the most important steps of selling your home. Therefore, choose wisely.
It is recommended to, at a minimum, speak with two or three real estate brokers from different agencies. Ask prospective brokers the same list of questions in order to compare their answers, and find out what specifically they would do to sell your house.
Above all, choose a broker that you feel comfortable with and like.
"I would say selecting a Realtor, choose someone you're comfortable with and has [your] best business interest in mind, and someone that has a marketing plan that fits [your] type of home that they have," Re/Max Plaza Realtor Kim Keefe said.
A real-estate agent is a home seller's guide through the process. Perhaps the most important part of the process: pricing.
"There is nobody to look at a home if it's not priced properly," Keefe said.
By the time you meet with an agent, he or she will have done research and will know what price that comparable homes in the market are selling and closing for.
In today's market, this can mean a significant loss, but a good Realtor will know the tricks to maximizing your experience.
The first step in selling a home is preparing it for a sale. It's not a bad idea to have your home inspected by a home inspector before being listed. Eventually, buyers will conduct their own inspection, but it's a good idea to know what they are going to find by getting there first.
It also helps to price the home realistically and make repairs ahead of time so defects won't become a problem later.
A key for preparing the home for marketing is to get it photo-ready.
"How a home looks in a photo is everything," Keefe said. "What buyers are doing right now is using photos to rule out a property, not to rule them in."
And don't forget the outside. Never underestimate the power of curb appeal, or the first impression of the home from the outside. Buyers often are taking a drive past a listing and can rule it out before even stepping foot inside.
"If sellers want to spend any money on the home, the curb appeal is huge," Keefe said.
Keeping the grass cut and the lawn tidy helps make a great first impression.
Other projects include painting or washing the exterior of the house, including window casings, shutters and doors, and washing the windows inside and out.
Keep the front door area clean, Keefe warns. When a real-estate agent shows your home, they typically spend a few minutes unlocking the lock box while buyers are scrutinizing everything.
On the inside, touching up minor defects could go a long way. Put a fresh coat of paint on the most used areas of the home to clean and brighten it up. Washing the walls, floors, bathroom tiles and carpeting also helps.
Get rid of clutter. Clean out closets, the garage, the basement and the attic, using self-storage if necessary. Replacing air filters also will help keep the dust down.
Get rid of any bad smells in the home. It is recommended to pay attention to pet or cigarette odors. Scented potpourri or candles can help with that, or pop a batch of frozen cinnamon rolls or homemade bread into the oven for a great aroma.
Once the inside and outside are in tip-top shape, photos are taken and the home is marketed, the real work for the real-estate agent begins.
They often will follow up on leads, talk with other agents, and revisit their marketing plan for as long as the home is on the market.
"I think that once you finally get that great phone call that there is an offer waiting ... the next toughest part is the negotiation," Keefe said.
What's toughest isn't necessarily price, but most often is the terms of the contract.
Next, a seller can expect a home inspection to take place, followed by the appraisal process ordered by the lender. Then it's off to the title company to move forward with the closing documents.
"I would advise [sellers] to seek a trusted Realtor professional," Keefe said. "And then to continue with good communication and asking questions every step of the way so they're comfortable with the process."

DUDLEY — Police and the district attorney's office are investigating an accident Saturday night on West Main Street that injured five people.
Authorities did not release the names of the people involved in the accident, and police did not say the extent of the injuries.
Police and firefighters were called to a three-vehicle accident on West Main Street (Route 197) near Center Road about 8 p.m. Saturday.
Police said a 2000 Toyota van driven by a man from Webster was traveling east on Route 197 and was turning left on Center Road when it collided with a 2010 Toyota Camry driven by a Northboro woman who was heading east on Route 197. A third vehicle, a 2009 Chrysler being driven by a Dudley resident, was involved in the crash.
Four passengers in the Toyota Camry and one person in the van were taken to a Worcester hospital for treatment. The accident is under investigation.

Canton and Stark County road crews were still cleaning up downed trees and branches Monday morning following the severe winds that hammered the region.
Crews were working to restore power early Monday morning to about 1,000 AEP Ohio customers in the Canton area following the wave of fierce winds that hammered the region Sunday night.
Most affected were northeast Canton and Canton South, said an Ohio AEP spokeswoman. Also without power were customers in the 38th Street area in Canton. Parts of East Canton also were without electricity.
A power outage also caused a two-hour delay at Paralee Compton school in Canton.
Elsewhere in Stark County, road crews were still dealing with downed lines and trees. In Canton, electrical lines were on the ground between two parked vehicles in the 14th Street and Spring Avenue NE area, according to the city street department. Nobody was inside the vehicles.
Trees or branches also were down in the 14th Street and Plain Avenue NE area.
A portion of Columbus Road NE was still closed about 8 a.m. in the Bentler Avenue NE area. A fallen tree brought down power lines in the 3900 block of Columbus in Plain Township, according to the Stark County engineer's office.
The large tree on Columbus was uprooted in the front yard of a home on Columbus between Bentler and Breezewood Drive NE.
The road would be reopened after power company workers tended to the lines, said Eric Rehfus, the county's highway superintendent.
Columbus had been closed since about 10 p.m. Sunday.
Trees and branches also had fallen on some other county roads, but they had been cleaned and were open early Monday morning, Rehfus said.

ATS Bible DictionaryRedeemer
A name given to Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world, because he redeems mankind from the bondage and guilt of their sins, by dying in their place, and thus paying their ransom, Matthew 20:28 Galatians 3:13 Ephesians 1:7 1 Timothy 2:6 Titus 2:14 1 Peter 1:18,19 Revelation 5:9. In the law of Moses, Le 25:25,48, this title is given to one who has the right of redemption in an inheritance, especially to a near kinsman, who may redeem it from a stranger or any Jew who had bought it. Such was Boaz, who, being one of the nearest relations of Elimelech, married Ruth the heiress of Elimelech, and thereby reentered into the possession of her estate. Jeremiah redeemed the field of his nephew Hanameel, which was on the point of being sold to another, Jeremiah 32:7,8. So Christ became a partaker of flesh and blood, that as our near kinsman he might redeem for us the heavenly inheritance, Job 19:25,26.
The nearest kinsman was also called the redeemer of blood-in our English translation, the avenger, or revenger of blood; and had a right to revenge the blood of his murdered kinsman, Numbers 35:12,19,21 De 19:6,12. To protect the innocent from these avengers, or redeemers, God appointed cities of refuge throughout Israel. See REFUGE, CITIES OF.
Easton's Bible DictionaryHebrews goel; i.e., one charged with the duty of restoring the rights of another and avenging his wrongs (Leviticus 25:48, 49; Numbers 5:8; Ruth 4:1; Job 19:25; Psalm 19:14; 78:35, etc.). This title is peculiarly applied to Christ. He redeems us from all evil by the payment of a ransom (q.v.). (see REDEMPTION.)

Holy See Denounces Misuse of Protection Principle
Posted byon 10.01.08 |
The Vatican continues to take every opportunity to discourage preemptive war: "The use of violence to resolve disagreements is always a failure of vision and a failure of humanity. The responsibility to protect should not be viewed merely in terms of military intervention but primarily as the need for the international community to come together in the face of crises to find means for fair and open negotiations, support the moral force of law and search for the common good," Also see this statement.

District Judge prepares to step down
After almost 21 years on the bench, 118th District Judge Robert H. Moore III is calling it a career.Sort of.A retirement reception for Moore was held Friday in the district courtroom where he presided since being appointed to the bench by then-Texas Gov. William Clements on March 1, 1990.Moore began his legal career after graduating from the University of Texas law school in 1969. He served as 118th District Attorney from 1973 until 1976, then returned to private practice until receiving the call from Gov. Clements to fill the unexpired term of then-District Judge Jim Gregg."And I've been here ever since," Moore said.Watching predecessors Gregg and Ralph Caton in action got Moore interested in serving as a judge."I saw that this was something I'd like to try," he said. "I've worked with a lot of good people over the years. We've got a great group of judges out here in West Texas, and I've enjoyed working with them."Asked what he would remember most from his term in office, Moore noted the 2001 renovation of the old county library, which was upgraded to house the district courtroom, as well as offices for the district judge, attorney and clerk."That's one of the highlights," he said. "I certainly didn't do it single-handedly, but to have had a hand in that was a neat experience."

Vincent Enyeama has expressed his belief that he owes Nigeria Africa Cup of Nations success having been involved in the nation's set-up since 2002.
The Super Eagles defeated Mali 4-1 in their semi-final this week to initiate a final against Burkina Faso, and Enyeama said that reaching the Africa Cup of Nations final is one of his greatest achievements.
"I think it is high time that I get to lift the trophy," Enyeama told Goal.com. "We are all determined to win. Every player is ready and I think it will take a team effort for us to win this cup."
The goalkeeper was named stand-in captain when he has started games without full-time skipper Joseph Yobo in the line-up, but he dismissed any full-time role with the honour.
"I am just a goalkeeper wearing a captains belt, but the true captain is Yobo and the rest of the players," Enyeama said.
"When we enter the field everyone is a leader, and I think that is what has made us successful."
He won the footballer of the year award in 2009 whilst playing in Israel, and also the Caf Champions league twice with Enyimba, but Enyeama believes those achievements don't compare to the Afcon.
"Yes, I know that I have achieved a lot of things in my football career, but I still owe my country the Afcon," he added.
"The mood in the side has been great and I have had a great relationship with coach Stephen Keshi. He comes in with depth of experience and belief in all the players. It is always great playing under such a coach."Going to the final, we don't know what will happen, but we know that we are going to give it our all and God will do the rest."

Liu Bolin: An Immaterial Cyber Monday
When days like today's Cyber Monday (and recent Black Friday) provide a pervasive view of how people relate to material things, an alternative perspective is always welcome. We can, for example, step into the world of brilliant Chinese artist Liu Bolin— whose work prompts another way of looking at our relationship to the world around us.
Liu Bolin is most known for his camouflage pieces. In these composed photographic works, Bolin meticulously paints his body to blend in with his environment— a kind of Where's Waldo for the intellectual set. In "finding" Bolin, people construe the work as everything from political to environmental. However his work speaks to you, it undoubtedly has the power to inspire some new idea about your place among the physical things that surround you.

IT Management Slideshow: 10 Ways to Stand Out as a Leader
Do you sometimes feel like a powerless manager who can't affect change? Do you think that any one of dozens of people could sit in your chair and the outcomes would all be the same? Don't worry, we won't tell. It's easy to get discouraged, but remember: This isn't why you've worked so hard to pursue the path of being a CIO. So, consider the book "StandOut: The Groundbreaking New Strengths Assessment from the Leader of the Strengths Revolution" (Thomas Nelson/Available now). This guide will help you bring out the qualities within that will allow you to emerge as an organizational agenda-driver. Author Marcus Buckingham goes beyond affirmative platitudes to offer prescriptive tools to help readers evaluate and maximize their own strengths. These strengths "can be put to good use, or they can be put to bad use," he writes. "If you don't own your own strengths, if you don't know them and understand them and consciously decide how you can best apply them in your life, they will come out anyway. But you won't be in control of how they do." The book also sheds insight on how to sharpen your managerial skills. Buckingham runs The Marcus Buckingham Company, a training and management consulting firm. For more about the book, click here.

Mento fountains a hit at 4-H Day Camp
Science Fun was on display at the 4-H Day Camp Monday afternoon.
Students used materials found in almost any kitchen to do experiments.
Ingredients included vinegar, baking soda, food coloring, Ziploc bags, Dawn dishwashing detergent, Mentos, pop rocks and Diet Cola.
Explaining why a Mentos fountain works, 4-H Coordinator Debbie White said, "Mentos is a mint candy with a hard shell with small holes in it," she said. "Carbon dioxide is in the soda.
"The carbon dioxide sticks to the Mentos candy; the carbon dioxide builds up and then explodes, White said.
"The reason diet soda is used is because it is sugar free," White said. "Should you get any on you, it won't attract insects because it has no sugar and isn't as sticky as regular pop."
There were two Mentos fountains. They both performed beautifully.
The Mentos fountains were the students' favorite experiment.
Citlati Soldana, age 11, explained the experiment of food coloring in milk.
"You put some food coloring in milk," Citlati said. "They don't mix.
"Then use a cotton swab that has some Dawn dish soap on it.
"Put the cotton swab in the middle of one of the colors and the color goes out of the middle," Citlati said. "That's because there is a chemical reaction between the fat in the milk and the soap."
The dates for other 4-H Day Camps are scattered through June, July and August. Some classes are already filled up.

text: Children's Brain and Spinal Cord Cancer Program Brain and spinal cord (also known as central nervous system) cancers are the second most common type of cancers in children. Treatment has continued to advance, and more children with cancer are saved every year. Still, treatment for these children is extraordinarily complex. That is why an entire team of doctors specializing in childhood brain and spinal cord cancers works together on every child's care. The team meets twice a month to to discuss each patient in great depth. A custom treatment plan Our specialists develop an individual plan for each child that includes initial treatment and follow-up care. These plans take into account the unique needs of each patient and their family, including quality of life. Surgery is the most common treatment. Some patients receive radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy, either in addition to surgery, or instead of surgery. In addition, our brain tumor patients have access to leading treatment and therapies by participating in clinical trials through the Children's Oncology Group, a worldwide cooperative supported by the National Cancer Institute. The Children's Oncology Group is dedicated to studying the best treatment for childhood cancers. These treatments include targeted therapies tailored to the specific genetic make-up of each individual tumor. Our team of specialists The team is led by a board-certified pediatric neuro-oncologist; a pediatric neuro-oncology nurse certified by the Association of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Nurses (APHON); and a neuro-oncology nurse practitioner, who is dedicated to managing any long-term side effects ("late effects") and follow-up care. Team members include pediatric sub-specialists in: Oncology Neurosurgery Radiation oncology, including Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery Endocrinology Physiatry (development and rehab specialists) Neurology Neuropsychologists Audiology Neuro-ophthalmology Care for the whole child At Randall Children's Hospital, we know that children need emotional, spiritual and educational support, too. A social worker providers emotional and practical support and resources for patients and families A child life therapist and teacher works with each child After treatment ends Medical advancements have helped reduce the effects of cancer and treatment on children. However, children with brain and central nervous systme tumors sometimes need long-term care and support to overcome the effects of treatment on their growth and development. Randall Children's Hospital offers rehabilitation services and follow-up care in a convenient clinic setting.

Get a vet immediately . Latest research says do not walk them & ideally get an supply of Finadyne on hand to relax the gut muscles. A so called 'rescue' mob lost one last week, no vet, just kept filling it up with beer . There are successful acupressure points to use whilst awaiting professional help. Google brings them up.

You're right Gay, can't beat finadyne. Assuming it's a fairly mild colic.
If the horse is sweated up and obviously in extreme pain, call the vet.

There are two main types of colic and its best to have some idea before you start.
using a stethoscope have a good listen for gut sounds - bubbling, rumbling, general gurgling
(Apols if I'm stating the bleeding obvious but if the horse is down you will need someone to keep horse still by holding it's head down while you do this)
no gut sounds = compaction (or possible twisted bowel)
adult horse = Finadyne 10ml I/v followed by some oil (I'd use parafin in preference to any form of vegetable oil)
gut sounds = not a compaction colic
adult horse = Buscopan 30ml i/v
drenches like beer, yoghurt, parafin oil can help with a non-compaction colic but Buscopan is way less messy.

Colic: To Walk Or Not To Walk
There are a number of things that can send shivers of fear running up and down a horse owner's spine. You walk out to the pasture and see your favorite mount standing there three-legged lame, blood dripping from a gaping wound in the leg being held aloft. Serious injury. You walk into the stable and there in that comfortable box stall is a horse rocking back on its rear legs, front legs extended. The horse is in obvious, severe pain. Laminitis. You walk into barn or pasture and there on the ground lies your horse, writhing in agony, its eyes glazed with pain, its coat dirty from rolling. Colic.
How the horse owner reacts in the above three situations can be critical to the animal's survival. In two of them, the action taken by the owner is pretty clear-cut. In the third, colic, there is a good deal more confusion.
The first step, of course, is obvious. Immediately call a veterinarian. What one does while waiting for the veterinarian to show up can be a little confusing when dealing with colic. That is not the case when dealing with serious injury or laminitis. In those two instances, one wants to keep the horse quiet and not moving. In the case of a bleeding injury, one should staunch the flow of blood.
But what about colic? Should you walk the horse until the veterinarian arrives? Should you put it into a corral and use a whip to keep it at a trot? What if it wants to lie down and roll? Should that be permitted (can't horses twist their gut if they roll?), or should the horse be kept on its feet?
Unfortunately for the horse owner, there are no clear-cut answers to most of these questions, only some guidelines. The reason for the confusion is that colic is not a single affliction. The word is used to describe abdominal pain in the horse. There can be many reasons for the pain and, until one knows the cause, it is difficult to decide what approach to take until the veterinarian arrives. (See the cover story on colic in the August 1999 issue of The Horse.)
The universal remedy in years gone by was that the horse should be walked until the pain went away. There have been countless incidents where horse owners have walked and walked and walked. Then, they walked some more, until both they and the afflicted horse were ready to drop from exhaustion. Yet, the horse still suffered from colic.
The reasoning was that if the horse kept moving, it would aid in peristalsis --the movement of food through the animal's digestive system. Researchers are no longer quite so sure that this is true; walking might not be providing a digestive assist.
When food fails to move through the horse's digestive system, impaction colic often is the result. The causes can be many and varied. To understand how and why impaction occurs, we must understand the horse's digestive system and its eating habits.
The horse was designed by nature to exist on forage. It is a grazing animal. If left to its own devices on open range, the horse will eat a little food many times per day. It will graze leisurely until its hunger needs are satisfied, then will perhaps take a long drink, followed by a doze in the sun for an hour or two before leisurely grazing some more.
By eating in such a manner, the horse allows its digestive system to move continually and process the food that has been consumed. The prime area for processing forage is the large intestine. The digestive process involves a form of fermentation where fibers are broken down, nutrients extracted, and waste moved along preparatory to excretion.
It is not the most efficient of processes when compared to ruminants, where digestion of forage takes place in a large compartment of the stomach known as the rumen. The rumen is like a large fermentation vat, while the large intestine is a huge tube that is looped around inside the abdominal cavity.
As long as the horse's digestive system proceeds in a normal manner, all is well. During the process, gas and liquids are produced and are moved along through the system. By pressing your ear against a horse's side or using a stethoscope, you can eavesdrop on this process. When all is routine and normal within the digestive system, there will be a gentle gurgling and rumbling from within.
Unfortunately, things are not always well within the equine digestive system. One of the problems that can occur involves a halting of the food movement process. This is impaction, and it might occur at one of the bends in the large intestine. As the term implies, impaction occurs when a mass of partially digested food blocks an area of the large intestine, making it impossible for the food being processed behind it to continue moving. The result usually is colic.
There are many causes of impaction, but rarely are grass and leafy green hay involved. Forages that would be more apt to cause impaction would be those of high fiber content, such as straw or corn stalks, which the large intestine would have difficulty breaking down. Certain ground feeds that are ingested without adequate water intake also have been implicated. Impaction can be the result of ingested sand as well.
When impaction occurs, there is a cessation of gut sounds. When you press your ear against the animal's side, there will be silence or near silence instead of the normal gurgling and rumbling.
As with so many equine maladies, prevention is far better and often easier to accomplish than effecting a cure. The owner should make certain the horse has plenty of the right kind of roughage in its diet�either leafy green hay or grass�and that it has constant access to water. It stands to reason that if a horse eats small amounts of food frequently, it also should be ingesting water frequently. Concentrates should be fed in small amounts frequently, rather than in a large quantity once per day.
When impaction is suspected, one should call a veterinarian immediately. While waiting for medical help to arrive, one should walk the impacted horse quietly. The activity should do no harm and might help to take the horse's mind off its discomfort.
The veterinarian might administer mineral oil or other substances in an effort to free the blockage, but it would not be something the layman should attempt. Normally such fluids are administered via a stomach tube inserted through the nose. This method would require professional help.
Grain Overload
The horse's digestive process also can get totally out of synch when the animal gets into the grain bin and ingests far more of the potentially volatile food than its digestive system can accommodate. This is another of those situations that send shivers of fear up and down the spine. You walk out to the barn in the morning and notice that the horse's stall door is ajar. Then, with a sinking feeling, you find the horse at an open grain container and realize that the animal has perhaps eaten a week's supply or more.
The stage is set for a form of colic, if it hasn't already occurred. If it hasn't, the horse owner's first move should be to call the veterinarian and not wait for the first signs of colic. Overeating of grain also can result in laminitis, so early treatment is imperative.
Waiting for the veterinarian to arrive might be the time when walking would be advised in the hope that it would assist in keeping the digestive processes working. Besides, it gives one something to do other than just sit idly and stare at the horse while waiting for the veterinarian.
What should not be administered at this point is water. That will hasten fermentation and compound the problem.
Several things happen when a horse ingests too much grain. The digestive process in a horse produces substantial quantities of gas and fluid. When gas and fluid are produced more rapidly than the body can eliminate them, there is distention of the stomach or intestine. Distention causes severe pain. The most serious distention is that caused by gas.
Ingestion of large amounts of grain also leads to the release of toxins from dying bacteria, and these toxins can cause a number of complications, including founder and even death.
Prevention of this form of colic, of course, is far better than any treatment. Stall doors should contain latches that the horse can't open and all grain containers should have covers that can be securely fastened.
Spasmodic Colic
Perhaps the most common colic is spasmodic colic, which is due to muscular spasms of the intestinal tract. It is similar to simple indigestion in people. However, it can be very painful to the horse and can be brought on by over-excitement which causes the release of hormones that can interfere with the normal function of the digestive tract.
Another anecdote. At one time we had a nice grade mare we used for a pack animal. The only problem was that she would colic after being unloaded from a trailer in the wake of a trip to a mountain trailhead.
The first time it occurred, we had traveled only about 100 miles from our home in Wyoming to a trailhead in the Bridge-Teton National Forest. It was to be a new experience. We arrived at the trailhead in the evening. There were a clear sky and a full moon, so we decided to ride to our first campsite, only a few hours' ride away, by moonlight.
The young mare stepped off the trailer and almost instantly cramped up. Colic. She didn't seem to be impacted, so we assumed it was a case of spasmodic colic. We walked her around a bit, but the pain seemed to get worse rather than lessen. We had some Banamine in our first-aid kit and administered it intravenously.
This procedure would not be recommended if you are at home waiting for the veterinarian to arrive. First, of all, he or she might decide it was not the appropriate drug under the circumstances and, second, it could mask symptoms and make it more difficult for the veterinarian to arrive at a correct diagnosis.
However, colic usually does not strike under the best of circumstances, and when that is the case, the horse owner must make use of options that are available.
In our case, the Banamine did the trick. The mare soon was standing quietly and shortly thereafter was cropping grass. By then, however, the moonlight ride didn't seem like such a good idea. What if the mare became ill again when the effects of the pain killer wore off? We were many miles from veterinary help as it was. We didn't want to compound the problem by riding into the wilderness. We camped overnight at the trailhead. The mare was fine the next morning and throughout the trip.
Unfortunately, the next time we hauled her, the same thing happened. Again, Banamine solved the problem, but by that time, we were worried that we were dealing with a chronic situation. At present the mare makes her home with folks who don't require that she travel.
The "Twist"
One of the most insidious forms of colic is the twisted intestine. As already mentioned, this is a form of colic where no amount of walking will help. The only remedy is surgery, and even that must be performed quickly if the horse is to survive.
Although there has been a great deal of research on the subject, no one is quite sure exactly what causes a twist. For years, horse owners thought that it resulted from a horse's rolling on its back. Researchers have found that this is hardly ever the cause. Many horse owners have whipped their horses to their feet during bouts of colic, fearing that rolling will result in a twist. Research has shown that if a twist is involved, it usually has occurred before the horse ever lies down and rolls.
Nature didn't seem to do the horse any favors in designing the large intestine, which is actually a gigantic tube. In order to fit into the horse's abdomen, the large tube is folded into several sharp bends where food can become impacted and where the intestine can get out of place or twist.
One twist that is commonly encountered is known as large colon volvulus (LCV). It can be treated surgically. This was the subject of a report presented at the 1996 American Association of Equine Practitioners meeting by Rolf M. Embertson, DVM, Dipl. ACVS, of Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital in Kentucky.
Perhaps the point driven home most emphatically by Embertson was that early detection of the condition and immediate surgery are key in determining whether the horse will survive. In other words, if the condition occurred and the owner persisted in walking the horse for hours on end before seeking help, the outcome of surgical treatment would be severely compromised.
Embertson told his audience that medical records of horses requiring colic surgery at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital from March of 1986 through February of 1995 were reviewed, and those of horses with LCV were closely examined. During that time frame, he said, 897 colic surgeries were performed on 828 horses. Seventy-one percent of these horses survived and were discharged. Broodmares comprised 79% of the total case load of surgical colics. (Broodmares are a large portion of the horse population in the area.)
Of the total number of colic surgeries performed, 238 surgeries on 204 horses were performed to correct large colon volvulus.
Embertson had this to say in his report:
"Eighty-three percent of horses requiring one surgery for LCV were discharged from our hospital. Eighty percent (28 of 35) horses with LCV that had an additional surgery for LCV or right dorsal displacement of the large colon survived the second surgery. One hundred percent (two of two horses) with LCV that had a third surgery survived the third surgery.
"The mean duration of illness before presentation was 4.2 hours for survivors and 6.2 hours for non-survivors. The volvulus (twist) was 360 degrees in 68% of the LCV patients, comprising 68% of both the survivor and non-survivor groups. The volvulus occurred most commonly at the base of the cecum when recorded, and 97% occurred in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from the ventrum."
When one studies the above figures, it becomes readily apparent that there is a narrow window of opportunity if a successful surgery is to be performed.
Embertson had this to say in conclusion:
"The shorter duration of clinical signs prior to surgery and an improved survival rate found in this study strongly support the necessity for immediate surgical intervention for LCV."
When foals are involved and surgery is necessary for colic, the prognosis becomes more guarded. Presenting a report at the same conference on the subject of colic surgeries on foals was N.J. Vatistas, BVSc, University of California, Davis. Vatistas reported on a study that involved 67 foals which underwent abdominal surgery for colic at the Davis veterinary hospital. The surgeries occurred between the years 1980 and 1992.
Overall, of the 67 foals in the study, 29 survived longer than two years. Thirty-two were euthanized or died, and six were lost to follow-up.
"Only 19% of the foals with strangulating intestinal lesions survived, in contrast to 69% with non-strangulating intestinal lesions," Vatistas reported. "In addition, younger foals appeared to have a poorer prognosis for survival than older foals."
Another study reported at that conference also indicated that older horses have a good chance for survival if the surgery is performed early. Presenting this report was Suzann A. Carson-Dunkerley, DVM, of the Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine.
Examined in the study were the medical records from 104 horses of 17 years of age or more which were treated at the veterinary hospital for acute abdominal disease from December 1990 through February 1996.
Breed representation was as follows: 31 Quarter Horses, 19 Thoroughbreds, 17 Arabians, eight Tennessee Walking Horses, seven gaited horses, six ponies, five warmblood mixed-breed horses, four draft horses, three Morgans, and four of other breeds.
Carson-Dunkerley had this to say about treatment and its outcome:
"Fourteen of the horses were euthanized after examination without further therapy at the owner's request. In seven cases, the owner's presenting complaint of colic was not related to gastrointestinal pain. Diagnoses (for those cases) included thoracic neoplasia in two horses and one of each with liver disease, pharyngeal disease, choke, ruptured spleen, and uterine artery rupture.
"Surgery was performed on 32 horses. Eleven of these horses were euthanized during surgery because of necrotic or ruptured bowel. Twenty-one horses recovered from anesthesia. Of those recovered, 16 were discharged from the hospital. Of all 32 horses taken to surgery, including those euthanized on the table, 16 were discharged from the hospital."
So, Walk Or Not?
What the above studies tell us is that when colic surgery is required, there is a good chance for a successful outcome with mature horses if the animal is presented for surgery when the affliction is in its early stages. Thus, we come back to the point that getting a veterinarian on the scene early is imperative. A matter of only a couple of hours can be of utmost importance if surgery is required.
In other words, if the horse requires surgery and we insist on walking it for several hours before calling for medical help, we might literally be walking the horse to death.
When considering the question of whether to walk the horse or not to walk it, we might make the comparison with a person who has severe abdominal cramps. The last thing that person would want to do would be to walk about. Instead, he or she would try to find a bed to lie on and to assume a position that provides some degree of comfort.
In essence that is what the colicky horse is attempting. It is seeking a position where the pain is alleviated and there is a degree of comfort. What this means in practical terms is that if the horse with colic is lying quietly, whether on its side or sternally, it is best to let it be.
We must remember that some colics are of long duration with debilitating pain. This means that the horse will need all the strength and stamina at its disposal to fight its way through the affliction. Walking it endlessly can tire the horse and sap its energy.
On the other hand, if the horse is rolling about violently, that action might sap its energy even more than walking. Getting it on its feet and moving might actually result in conserving energy. In addition, when the horse is rolling, there always is the danger that it could injure itself by getting a leg caught in a fence or under a stall door.
Once the horse is on its feet and walking, there is no need for speed. Sending the horse careening around the arena or corral at a run doesn't help anything. It merely uses up the animal's energy more quickly. Walking the horse slowly and quietly is far better than forcing it to move at speed.
Dwight D. Bennett, DVM, Colorado State University, who has authored papers on colic, had this to say in one of his papers:
"Despite what has been passed down through the years, it is acceptable for a colicky horse to lie down. Furthermore, it is considered unlikely that the horse will twist the intestines by rolling. In fact, lying quietly may be good for a colicky horse, because the more energy he uses in kicking, pawing, and rolling, the more rapidly he may go into shock, which is a common cause of death in colicky horses. If the horse rolls violently, he should be walked very slowly. Do not beat the horse to keep him on his feet or keep him moving."
Earlier we mentioned that surgery often is successful in certain types of twists and displacements if the horse is presented for the operation during the early stages of the affliction. Unfortunately, there is another element involved.
Colic surgery is quite expensive because it is major surgery. The horse owner must often make an agonizing decision between surgery and euthanasia, with financial resources being part of the consideration.
So, this discussion concerning whether to walk the colicky horse has come full circle. There is no single, simple answer. It all depends on the circumstances. The only clear-cut conclusion is that veterinary help should immediately be sought when colic occurs or when an onset, because of undue grain ingestion, is believed to be imminent.

Your students will love these Christmas play-on-the-page 'print and play' worksheets. Each worksheet features a 'game' component, making them much more interactive than the regular on-paper activity in the classroom!
The worksheets in this pack, have an additional level of interactivity, in that some of them are to be used by pairs of students. They can 'race' each other as they complete the worksheet together. Yes.... a good discussion about HEALTHY competition is probably needed for SOME students. I have never had an issue with this sort of thing in the classroom, as I play LOTS of games, and my students quickly realise that if they don't win today, they most probably will tomorrow! I model how and encourage my students to congratulate their peers for winning and trying hard. If you reinforce it enough, it WILL become part of your classroom culture, I promise!
For these activities, you need only the worksheet, a paper clip and some pens, crayons or pencils! There are 6 different game variations in this packet, to help you cover a big range of learning abilities.
I've picked one to show you today - 'Beat the Reindeer #2'. This worksheet has a double spinner. Students play this one on their own and the aim is to 'beat' the reindeer featured on the worksheet in a grid.
Students spin. If they land on the reindeer, they must shade ONE complete section of the grid.
As they spin the number sections, they ADD the two numbers (inner circle + outer circle) and write the SUM in one square on the game board.
They keep spinning, writing or shading. If they manage to get numbers written in each square before the reindeer is fully shaded, they have won. If the reindeer gets shaded, they have been 'beaten' by him!
This reindeer worksheet is also provided in a version that encourages simple number recognition, in case you have students that are not up to addition yet!
All 23 of my print and play worksheets can be found in this file.
And I would love you to try this one for FREE! Click to grab it from Google Drive!
We read one of my favorite books today - The Little Crooked Christmas Tree!
I sketched this crooked tree worksheet as a color-in for your students also. Give them bright colored markers or crayons and encourage them to make it as colorful as possible. They will really pop with each section shaded a different color. You can download it free from google docs by clicking on the image below!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Ponder and Rudolph Forming Early Bond with Vikings
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -
Three of Ponder's four touchdown passes this season have gone to the big tight end, including two in a surprising victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
On one of them, Ponder never saw a wide open Adrian Peterson in the end zone. Instead he squeezed a throw to Rudolph, who made a beautiful, one-handed catch.
Ponder says their friendship has helped forge a trust in Rudolph. The quarterback knows he can count on Rudolph to be in the right place at the right time, especially in big situations.

Improving your health since 2000
A serum magnesium test is a measurement of how much magnesium there is in the blood.
Blood is most often drawn from a vein. The vein usually used is on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
The procedure is done in the following way:
For infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin and make it bleed. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. Afterward, a bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.
No special preparation is needed.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel slight pain, or a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is done when your health care provider suspects you may have an abnormal level of magnesium in your blood.
About half of the body's magnesium is found in bone. The other half is found inside cells of body tissues and organs.
Magnesium is needed for nearly all chemical processes in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, and keeps the bones strong. Magnesium is also needed for the heart to function normally and to help regulate blood pressure. Magnesium also helps the body control blood sugar level and helps support the body's defense (immune) system.
1.7 to 2.2 mg/dL
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your health care provider about the meaning of your specific test results.
A high magnesium level may indicate:
A low magnesium level may indicate:
There is very little risk in having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one person to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks may include:

Noted Tea Party favorite and combative freshman Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) let his emotions get the best of him over the weekend when talking to some constituents at a bar in his district.
When asked about the U.S. banking meltdown, Walsh screamed, "Don't blame banks and don't blame the marketplace for the mess we are in right now, I'm tired of hearing that crap!"
He then told one man, "Be quiet or you're going to have to leave!"
The full video was posted by a liberal political blog called "Thump and Whip."
Walsh's D.C. office had no comment on the video.

Ever since the two appeared arm in arm on the red carpet at the London Olympics, people have wondered: Who, exactly, is Michael Phelps' new girlfriend?
She hasn't been talking with the news media until now. But in an exclusive interview with The Sun, Megan Rossee seems sporty, competitive and quick to laugh at herself. And, yes, she's also a willowy blond model who loves shoes, sweets and marathon viewings of "Sex and the City."
Though it's been widely reported in the media that Rossee is a cocktail waitress, that makes her laugh because she says she worked at Hollywood's Blok nightclub for only about a month to help pay the bills. Trying to make it as a model is as rough as it is unpredictable, and she wanted a more reliable paycheck.
"It's hard to budget yourself," she says, "when you don't know when you're going to book a job."
Yet Rossee, 25, never dreamed of being a model. In fact, as a child, she wanted to be an actress.
"My parents say I used to run around and spit out lines from movies," she says.
Raising her in Long Beach, Calif., not far from Los Angeles, Rossee's supportive folks got her an agent and shuttled her to auditions. The agent, however, saw her tall and lanky frame and thought she'd have better luck modeling.
Still, even as she headed to college — Lyon College, a small liberal arts school in Arkansas — Rossee's passions lay elsewhere. She had to choose between pursuing modeling and playing on Lyon's soccer team. Soccer won.
"All of my friends were playing at the same time, and I'm a really competitive person," she says, adding that soccer offered immediate gratification and instant thrills; in modeling, rejection is a fact of life. "You win a game, and you know that's a good feeling. If you don't book a job, you take it harder."
After graduating from college, Rossee grudgingly gave up soccer to pursue modeling, saying jokingly, "It wasn't cool to show up with bruises." But with her modeling "on hold," she's brought her inner Beckham back out — saying she and Phelps mixed it up for a little "two-on-two" just the other day.
Rossee isn't comfortable talking much about Phelps or their relationship, just that she met him through mutual friends and one day when they happened to be at the same place at the same time, they hit it off and kept in touch. (The "kept in touch" line also makes her laugh. "'Kept in touch.' Obviously we kept in touch.")
Rossee has modeled for runway, videos and print — you can even glimpse her in the opening montage for the now-canceled ABC Family show "Jane by Design." She's the one in the slinky black dress.
Her favorite jobs have been runway work for designers including Betsey Johnson, Michael Kors and True Religion.
"There is a certain type of collaboration that happens during shows that makes it feel like you're a part of a team," she says. "However, I'm not the most graceful person in heels, which can cause some major anxiety."
While she's taking time off, she has been able to follow Phelps to the Olympic trials in Omaha, Neb., and of course to the Games in London, where she cheered as he made history. That's also where they made their red-carpet public debut.
That appearance vaulted her into the spotlight and made her the target of gossipy speculation that she's in the relationship for the wrong reasons. She seems to be trying to ignore it.
"People are going to say and believe what they want," she says. "I have close family and friends who know me and what I am about, which is what I deem most important."
Rossee has been spending quite a bit of time in Baltimore, tasting crabs with Phelps and accompanying him to a Ravens practice session. She says she loves the city — at least its summery side.
"Ask me again in January, and I may have a different opinion," she says, laughing again. "I'm not a huge fan of cold weather."
She says she looks forward to going to Ravens games (despite being a huge Dallas Cowboys fan), getting better at cracking crabs and checking out the National Aquarium — a date Phelps promised her months ago.
As for the future, she's not inclined to predict. But it seems as if she hopes it includes much more Maryland.
"I'd rather just enjoy it as it comes," she says. "With that being said, I just plan on exploring my passions, surrounded by people that make me happy."
Rossee essentials
A few thoughts gleaned from conversation and Rossee's online statements.
Modeling standards: Don't ask her to do anything too racy: "I am super- easygoing and pretty much down for any type of project (that doesn't involve nudity)," according to her Model Mayhem profile. "I love what I do and hope to further my career as a model as well as a performer."
Resume: Rossee earned a bachelor's in psychology in 2009 from Lyon College in Arkansas. She volunteers in the mental health department at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Long Beach.
She's upbeat: "Don't worry, be happy!" Rossee tweeted. "Love actually is all around!" She's quick with affirmations online for her girlfriends and of course for Phelps — "Yay Michael."
She has a sense of humor: "I wish I lived in the days when it was considered attractive to be plump and pale," she tweeted. She's also a fan of "Impractical Jokers" on TruTV.
The woman can eat: Rossee, despite being a size 2, chows down on shredded beef and barbecue. A coffee drinker, she's partial to York Peppermint Pattie-flavored International Delight gourmet coffee creamer and recently discovered chai tea lattes.
She appreciates the high life: She's lounged on the sand in South Beach and hung out at Chateau Marmont.
Starry-eyed: Rossee was born April 13 and believes in astrology big-time. She regularly tweets relationship-related horoscopes. Example: "An Aries woman will put her man on a pedestal, if he is deserving."
Roots for: Dallas Cowboys. Which could be a thing with Phelps, a die-hard Ravens fan.
Family goals: Someday. "No kids now: 5-10 down the road," she tweeted.

Across from the volleyball courts at the St. Augustine Beach pier, construction of the new Salt Life Food Shack restaurant is underway.
Some of the volleyball players on the courts Monday think the addition could be positive for the area.
"I think it's going to be awesome!," Shane Sheltra said.
Most people welcome the new business. Even a competing businessmen like Sunset Grille owner Peter Darios supports the eatery.
His restaurant is just a few blocks away.
"Business is good for business because business brings business," Darios stated.
Jeff Jabot with Salt Life said the new Salt Life Food Shack will have 6,200 square feet that is air conditioned and other open-air dining.
A business of that size is required to have 118 parking spots according to St. Augustine Beach city documents, but the company asked for and received permission from the city to supply only 69 spaces.
Jabot said there wasn't space for most parking spots because of the, "dimensions of the lot and the size of the building."
That part frustrated Darios.
He said other St. Augustine Beach restaurateurs, including himself, have wanted to expand their businesses in the past.
"Anytime an expansion was brought up, the parking issue was brought up as being the main reason why I couldn't expand," Darios explained.
"The rules are being applied differently now for some reason," Darios said at a recent public meeting.
Salt Life is looking at valet parking options, similar to what the business does with its Jacksonville Beach location, according to Jabot.
Darios hopes the city's new precedent in parking lot rules will help him in the future.
"I think it could be good for everyone on the beach if the same rules are applied to us as they were to Salt Life," Darios said.
Meanwhile, some beachgoers worry the public lot at the pier across from the future restaurant will become even more crowded with restaurant guests.
But others say, bring it on.
Luke Sturgis who was playing volleyball Monday said, "I feel like another quality business can't hurt. If anything it will help."
Salt Life Food Shack in St. Augustine is expected to open in September.
