The Eagles are a clutch team that plays its best football when the going gets toughest, shaking off adversity and coming back in the fourth quarter to win back-to-back games by just one point.
The Eagles are a sloppy team that makes far too many mistakes to be a legitimate contender, getting outplayed for most of the game twice in a row before barely winning back-to-back games by just one point.
Both are true. But which one better describes the 2012 Eagles? Are they the dynasty in the making that Michael Vick said they were before the season started? Or are they just a mediocre team that missed the playoffs last year and will miss the playoffs again this year?
If I could answer that question with any certainty I'd make my home in Las Vegas, not Chicago, but from where I sit, I believe that the Eagles are a better team than they were last year, and a better team than they've shown so far this year. And considering that they are, in fact, 2-0 after Sunday's 24-23 win over the Ravens, if they're better than they've shown they're going to be pretty good.
On offense, I simply don't believe the Eagles can play any worse than they have in the first two weeks of the season, when they've turned the ball over nine times — nine times — in just two games. The Eagles are the first NFL team since 1983 to start the season 2-0 despite having at least four turnovers in each of their first two games, and it's unimaginable that they can keep turning the ball over at this level. Michael Vick, who has never had more than 14 interceptions in an entire season, just can't keep throwing interceptions at the rate he has been so far this season, with six in two games. He'll get better.
And on defense, I believe the Eagles are clearly better than they were a year ago, and that's almost entirely because of linebacker DeMeco Ryans, who arrived from Houston in a trade this year. Ryans was outstanding on Sunday against the Ravens, recording an interception, a sack, two tackles for loss, a pass breakup and six solo tackles. He looks like one of the best defensive players in the league right now.
So with the Eagles now 2-0 and six days away with a surprisingly big game against another 2-0 team in Arizona, I believe they're one of the league's best teams. They're going to win most of their games this season, and by a lot more than one point.
Here are my other thoughts on Week Two in the NFL:
The replacement officials took a step backward. After doing a more or less solid job in Week One, the NFL's replacement officials did a mostly lousy job in Week Two. And the problem was less about any one particular blown call than it was a general sense that the officials weren't in control of the game. The crucial personal foul penalty on Redskins receiver Josh Morgan for throwing the ball at Rams cornerback Cortland Finnegan, for instance, was the correct call. But the officials had permitted so much post-play pushing, shoving and taunting in that game that it felt arbitrary when they finally decided to call the penalty on Morgan just before what could have been a game-tying field goal for the Redskins. And it was like that across the league on Sunday: Officials seeming unsure of themselves and unable to take control of games. Consistency is of paramount importance in officiating, and if the NFL can't get consistency from the replacement officials, then the NFL needs to end the lockout of the regular officials.
Darrelle Revis proved in his absence how good he is. The Jets' shutdown cornerback was out with a concussion, and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had an easy day picking apart a depleted Jets secondary. Roethlisberger found open receivers all day, completing 24 of 31 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns, and the Steelers cruised to a 27-10 win. Without Revis, the Jets' defense is going to have a hard time stopping anybody. They need him back soon.
C.J. Spiller is an elite talent. The Bills used the ninth overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft on Spiller, a running back out of Clemson, and he disappointed as a rookie. But we've seen enough of Spiller to know now that he really is a Top 10 talent. Spiller had 15 carries for 123 yards in Sunday's blowout of the Chiefs, a week after he had 14 carries for 169 yards in a loss to the Jets. And although a lot of people didn't notice it, Spiller had a great end to the 2011 season as well, carrying 67 times for 391 yards (5.8 yards a carry) over the last five games of last year. Spiller is a stud.
Gregg Williams was a good coach. Just look at how the Saints' defense has fallen apart without him. Williams, the former Saints defensive coordinator who has been banished by the NFL for running a bounty program in New Orleans, may have engaged in egregious misconduct, but no one has ever accused Williams of not knowing how to run a defense. The Saints' defense allowed quarterbacks Robert Griffin III and Cam Newton to pick them apart, and the Saints, who have already given up 75 points this season, are 0-2.
Reggie Bush is finally the Reggie Bush he was supposed to be. Remember how incredible Bush was at USC, and how he was supposed to be a game-changing running back in the NFL? It never really worked out that way in New Orleans: Yes, Bush was a fine player, but he was more like an interchangeable cog in a well-oiled Saints offensive machine than a uniquely talented playmaker. But now that Bush is in Miami, things are different. He has 760 yards in his last six games, including 172 in Sunday's win over the Raiders, and his two touchdown runs on Sunday were beautiful. Breaking four tackles on his way to the end zone on a 23-yard run. Racing 65 yards down the sideline. That's the Reggie Bush we were supposed to see. That's the Reggie Bush we're finally seeing.
I have no idea what to make of any of the 1-1 teams. There are 19 1-1 teams in the NFL right now, and there will be 20 after the 1-0 Broncos play the 1-0 Falcons tonight. And I really don't know which ones are good and which ones are bad. I think the Patriots and Giants are a couple of good 1-1 teams, and I think the Vikings and Dolphins are a couple of bad 1-1 teams, but I don't know. That's what's so fun about the start of the NFL season. None of us knows.

As the weather continues to get hotter and hotter more measures need to be taken in order to keep cool while doing the outdoor activities we all love to do. With an Ultra Sport Evaporative Vest from HyperKewl® all it takes is 1-2 minutes of soaking in water to provide temperatures up to 15°-20° cooler for several hours. Upon submerging the vest in water the HyperKewl fabric used will absorb, store and then release water within the vest through evaporation, much like our bodies, to cool us down. Upon removing the vest from soaking, excess water should be gently squeezed out and wiped away before wearing. The Ultra Sport Evaporative Vest has a wide range of uses such as when working outdoors, exercising, sitting in the stands during a ball game or to simply escape the heat when it starts climbing up and over triple digits. The cooling effect produced by the vest combined with its high visibility design also make it ideal for use by runners and cyclists to help keep them cool and easily seen.
Size Chart Size Chest Front Length (Back is 2° Longer) Small 34-36° 20° Medium 37-39° 21 Large 40-42° 22° X-Large 43-45° 23°
This vest is also available in the following sizes, each sold separately:
- Small
- Large
- X-Large
How it Works: HyperKewl fabric absorbs and stores water when it is submerged. Water is then released within the layers of the vest through evaporation to create a chill effect similarly to the way in which our bodies cool themselves through evaporation.
Instructions for Use: Submerge vest in water for 1-2 minutes, squeeze out excess water, wipe dry and wear.
Washing: In order to maintain the longest life possible it is best to wash with a gentle soap and brush.
Note: High humidity (90%+) will diminish the fabrics ability to evaporate water to provide cooling.

Providing the Discourse That Attracts Terrorists
The Saudi government has finally understood the enormous threat to its own rule posed by fanatics adorned with religious motivations: 15 of the 19 perpetrators of the September 11th attacks were of Saudi origin. It took officials in Riyadh one year before they were able to admit this. And now terrorists are committing murder in their own kingdom.
A self-critical reflection on the reasons for this home-grown terror is not on the agenda of those ruling and governing in Saudi Arabia. Dr. Abdurrahman Zamil, who has close ties to the King himself, is one of the 120 members of the Majlis ash-Shura, the King's advisory council.
"Saudi Arabia never brought forth extremists. It is America that has produced the extremists because in the 1980s not only did they come to Saudi Arabia, but also to Egypt, Algeria, Palestine, Iraq and Pakistan. They recruited all these people to fight against communism in Afghanistan."
Saudis in Afghanistan
In fact, thousands of young Saudis went to Afghanistan in the 1980s, and many were treated as suspected terrorists after their return to the Wahhabist kingdom, thereby possibly having been further radicalized. But according to Dr. Turki al-Hamad, a liberal, this is only one side of the coin.
"We provided the thoughts, the religious discourse that attracted the terrorists. So they went to Afghanistan, to Chechnya and all these countries, only to come back with the idea that they can pass judgment and declare everyone and everything heretical. It is a mix of both. But we cannot repudiate the internal roots of terrorist ideas."
The value system of Saudi society, which is based on a pact between the al-Saud clan and the religiously reactionary Wahhabist clergy made more than a hundred years ago, clears the way for radicalism, according to Turki al-Hamad.
Creating a climate of terrorism
"Certain values must be spread by our education system, for example tolerance, getting along with others as human beings, as other races, or as 'nonbelievers.' There are values that must be planted inside the minds of young children if we are to have a new society. If we continue teaching our children hatred and intolerance, then these ills will grow and a climate for terrorism will be created. They are just waiting to be picked up by someone."
According to a survey carried out between August and November of the past year, almost half of the 15,000 Saudis questioned said they feel sympathy with the terrorist leader bin Laden. This does not surprise Turki al-Hamad.
"We have, for example, many good doctors and engineers whose minds are full of terrorist ideas because of the values that have been imparted to them."
Fighting the symptoms, not the disease
So far the Saudi government has relied mostly on their security forces to fight terrorism. But Turki al-Hamad says that this only wards off the symptoms but not the illness itself.
All signs point to further confrontations in Saudi Arabia, despite recent successes in fighting terrorists. In the past year the Saudi security forces have shot three suspected terrorists –mostly recently in Riyadh Abdel-Aziz al-Murqrin.
The leaders don't understand that the constant influx must be stopped if the quagmire of terror is to be dried up for good. Reformers such as Turki al-Hamad would like to change the climate, starting at the roots of the problem in the upbringing and education of young people. This means that the curricula in schools and universities must be changed, their contents must be oriented much more around the needs of the modern world.
But people like representative Abdurrahman Zamil think this is an empty gesture given the US's apparent strive for democracy in the Middle East, which is ultimately aimed at gaining total control of the whole region under Washington's whip. Al-Zamil says.
"Criticizing the King creates problems"
"Our religious schools create what we call young religious Muslims, who are for the government. Our teachers, our prophets and our clergy here tell us to never revolt against your king or your rulers and to never criticize them publicly. This is against our belief because it creates problems."
This may have worked well fifty years ago, when Saudi Arabia had a population of about 3.5 million. Now there are 23 million. And there is a rapidly growing rate of unemployment, in some areas over 30 percent, the per capita income has dropped by two-thirds over two decades, and the religiously motivated intolerance of young men has drastically increased. For Turki al-Hamd, there is only one way out:
"Reform is a must for everything. You cannot remain a child your whole life. Countries, states, political systems are the same. Even if you have a system that is good, it must be reformed so that it can survive. That's why we need reforms."

DEP's water quality sampling stations were installed to enhance our water quality monitoring program and to comply with federal and state drinking water regulations.
The stations provide a uniform and sanitary sampling environment that has improved the efficiency of water sampling efforts, and thereby help protect public health.
DEP collects more than 1,300 water samples per month from up to 546 locations. Water samples are analyzed for bacteria, chlorine levels, pH, inorganic and organic compounds, turbidity, odor, and many other water quality indicators.
A total of 965 sampling stations have been installed citywide. Sampling from the stations began in March of 1997.
Locations for the stations were chosen based on the need to gather representative samples of the water quality in all distribution areas. Consequently, factors such as population density, water pressure zones, proximity to water mains, and accessibility were considered.
The stations rise about 4 1/2 feet above the ground and are made of heavy cast iron. Inside, a 3/4 inch copper tube feeds water from a nearby water main into the station. Each station is equipped with a spigot from which water samples are taken. The total cost of the construction and installation of the stations was approximately 11 million dollars.

A Daughter Remembers Dad's Letters
Jeffrey Zaslow, a longtime Wall Street Journal writer and best-selling author who died in February at age 53, wrote unforgettably about life's milestones, from birth to marriage to death. He would have passed one of his own on October 6, 2012, his birthday. To commemorate the date, Jordan Zaslow, the oldest of his three daughters, remembers what it was like to read her father's words—both private and public. Zaslow was perhaps best-known as the coauthor of "The Last Lecture" (2008) with Randy Pausch.
"XXX – Dad." That's how my father often ended his emails and lunch notes to my sisters and me. He'd throw in an occasional "O" in between the X's to signify a textual hug. There were even times when he'd sign off, "Love, your loving father."
I recently found one note from my junior year of high school. He signed "Love, Dad.*" A few inches lower on the page, he clarified what the asterisk denoted: "*Jeffrey Zaslow." It was silly, clever and endearing. It was his personality, wrapped in a brown paper bag.

LOL, the Nemu character went down in flames in Gift. Her epic meltdown in the latter stages may have even outdone the infamous Kaede.
Nemu's only competition in DC was the loli siscon character and her victory was never really in question in DCSS. In DCII the Nemu-character has two stabs at it so you have to like her chances (though odds favor the older one, who looks less like Nemu than her younger sister).
There was also an interesting role reversal in Canvas2 - where the Nemu character looks like Sakura and the Sakura character looks like Nemu. But I think DCII anime will play it closer to the vest and award the victory to Otome - the real drama comes from the magical sakura tree and not "which girl will he choose?"

Thats the reason DCSS failed they just handed her the win they brought her back to soon. It would of been a lot better if they kept her away for atleast 15-20 Eps then brought her back in. Then it would of been like who dose he go with his old love or new one. At the start of DCSS it looked like he was getting hella close to Kotori <3.

Back to the main topic... do you think this show should get its own subforum? They could import DC and DCSS threads into the forum (as well as all of the game threads), as a point of reference. Could be interesting.

I wonder in D.C. II who the 'winner' will be...in the first Da Capo you could pretty much tell from the opening credits that Nemu would win (My Iron-Clad Rule for Picking Bishoujo Anime Winners: the girl with the most screentime in the OP and ED is going to win). In D.C. II it seems like Otome and Yume would be the front-runners based on their prominence in promo shots...

As for DC II? I feel safe in picking an Otome win and safer in predicting that "picking a girl" will not be the focal issue in the show. The sakura tree always took priority over all else, as the source of magic and life on the island. Wonder what tricks the tree has up its sleeve this time around.
As for the rule for picking Bishoujo anime winners... good luck picking the winner of Shuffle! using that method. But I don't see too many exceptions to this rule. DC II will likely follow suit.

As for D.C. II, as DanielSong39 said, I don't think "picking a girl" will be the main focus, as it'll probably just become obvious over time who Yoshiyuki has feelings for. The first 2/3 of the story are really more about school life, and the interactions between the cast. The nice thing about the D.C. II game, at least, is that there's lots of that. I wouldn't think they'll really delve too deeply into the romance side of things (other than brushing the surface) until 2/3 through the show (sort of like the original D.C. anime). We'll see, though.

My guess on the show structure:
Episodes 1-8: Introduction; focused mostly on home and school life.
Episodes 9-16: Development and resolution of the Yoshiyuki-Koko-Nanaka love triangle; group outings.
Episodes 17-24: Main plot. The mystery of the sakura tree; Sakura and Otome's efforts.
While Otome is at the heart of the main story I really hope the show does proper justice to the band and the whole deal with Koko and Nanaka. It's the second most important plot point in my opinion and the girls need closure - even if it ends with both girls getting dumped.

By the way, Moonphase's blog confirms that the Animation Production for D.C. II will be done by feel, who've worked on both previous D.C. anime in one capacity or another (assistance on D.C., production on D.C.S.S.), and recently worked on Otoboku and Nagasarete Airantou. So this isn't very surprising, since ZEXCS is working on both Kujira and Rental Magica this Fall.
The other thing the blog mentions is that, apparently, they're they're not going to be releasing a lot of information about the cast, crew, and other details until the show actually airs. The message on the website fits that description. With the amount of promo they've been doing for the game cast (especially the VAs for Otome, Yume, and Koko), I sort of wonder if they might just keep the voice cast in this one. Then again, that'd be a pretty big change for King Records (who, as far as I know, always recast with their own talent), so we'll see...

Interesting, thanks for the news...I'm glad feel's doing it, I think while with D.C.S.S. they didn't have a great story to work with, that won't be a problem with D.C. II. I think more than anything else I'm relieved it's not being animated by Doumu, so there won't be any cabbages

Alrighty, from the top then...
Two Generations ago...
Asakura Junichi: Protagonist of the original Da Capo. Married Nemu and supposedly had a daughter named Yuki. Current whereabouts are that of taking care of the original house and his two Granddaughters, Asakura Otome and Asakura Yume. Said to have the powers of dreamwatching and candymaking.
Yoshino Sakura: Older cousin on Junichi's maternal side(and completely disregarding it by calling Junichi "onii-chan") and current principal of Kazami Gakuen. Still looks not a day above her immortal age of 11-12. (The frozen timepoint where she moved to America to study) Holds a doctorate degree from her studies in the US, as she became a teacher in both the DC game and the DC Second Graduation manga. Current whereabouts are living in the Yoshino household next to the Asakuras with her new tenant, Sakurai Yoshiyuki. Currently is accomanied by a tiny dog by the name of Harimao. Whereabouts of Utamaru the cat are unknown. Confirmed to still practice magic.
Asakura Nemu: Not much is known about where grandmother Nemu went...
One Generation ago...
Mizukoshi Maika: The school physician in Kazami Gakuen. Not much is known about her past, save for the fact that she lives in the very same house that Moe, Mako, and Tomoya (the younger brother) lived in. Speculation is still up in the air as to whose daughter she is... (Though Sakura probably knows)
I'll put up the main cast next post. Gives you time to digest the giant flow of time that has happened, yes?

If you feel in immediate danger at any time always call 999. If you are very frightened, but not in immediate danger contact Greater Manchester Police on 101. Police will arrange a convenient time to meet you and take relevant details in order to give more specific safety advice to you. An officer will sit with you and discuss all the things that have been happening to you. It is important that you tell the officer everything that has happened, even if you think it may sound trivial or contact the National Stalking Helpline on 0808 802 0300
How you can help yourself:
- Take a mobile telephone with you when you go out.
- Carry a personal attack alarm and learn how to use it - do not carry anything that is meant for use as a weapon.
- Try to alter your daily routines, ask friends to go with you whenever possible, and always try to let someone know what your plans are.
- Keep a record of what happened, where, when every time you were followed, phoned, received post or e-mail.
- The more details you have the better, how the offender looked or sounded, what they were wearing, the make, and number plate or colour of their car.
- Keep letters, and parcels as evidence: even if they contain frightening or upsetting messages, do not throw them away and handle them as little as possible.
- Keep copies of e-mails on disk and print out hard copies, do not delete the original.
- Making notes in a diary is a good idea. Write the information down as soon as possible, when events are still fresh in your mind.
- Tape record telephone conversations if you can and keep the tape.
- If you recognise the handwriting, you can keep letters or parcels as evidence without having to open them.
- Make sure you keep any stored messages (including text messages) or telephone numbers that you have received on your mobile phone and caller ID units.
- Use 1471 on the phone and write down details of calls received, including the time received, and the telephone numbers (even unanswered calls).
- Tell your friends, neighbours and work colleagues about what is happening.
- Do not speak or engage with them in any way if they're seen taking photos as this may lead to a confrontation
- Contact your telephone company to see what action they can take against malicious callers or register with Telephone Preference Service to be removed from direct marketing lists.
- Print pages of evidence from social networking sites and times messages were posted
Avoiding unwanted calls:
- Answer the phone by saying 'hello', not your name or number.
- Try to keep calm and not show emotion, many callers will give up if they don't think they're making an impression on you or your feelings.
- Use an answer machine to screen out calls and only talk to people you want to.
- If the caller rings again, put the handset down on a table for a few minutes - the caller will think you're listening. After a few minutes replace the handset, you do not have to listen to what the caller has to say.
- Use 1471 on the phone and write down details of calls received, including the time received, and the telephone numbers (even unanswered calls).
If you know or find out who is stalking you:
- Do not confront your stalker or even engage them in conversation.
- Do not, under any circumstances, agree to a meeting to talk about how you feel about them constantly bothering you.
- Do not respond in any way to calls, letters, or conversations. If you ignore the phone nine times and pick it up on the tenth, you will send the message that persistence pays. Once they have your attention, they will be encouraged to carry on.
- Seek advice from the police, a solicitor or the National Stalking Helpline about what you should do.

Fuse™ Technologies year-in-review: An exciting launch in 2013 with more to come in 2014
December 27, 2013
July 2013 marked the launch of AGCO's new global precision agriculture initiative, Fuse™ Technologies. The Fuse strategy and customer benefits were shared with the world at several key events, involving customers and dealers.
AGCO's Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) leadership unveiled this new strategy at a precision agriculture conference in Lleida, Spain on July 9, 2013, and again the following week in Springfield, Illinois at North America's largest precision agriculture tradeshow, InfoAg. The launch was well-received globally, garnering broad exposure on the international business wires as well as with regional media.
Following these launches, Fuse Technologies had a significant presence at the 2013 Farm Progress Show in Decatur, IL, in August. The team hosted two well-attended information sessions during which a panel of AGCO experts and local personalities presented the Fuse strategy and other precision farming topics.
Fuse also had a noteworthy presence at Agritechnica in Hanover, Germany, in November which included the debut of a 3D, interactive smart farm visual that brought the Fuse connected strategy to life for visitors to the AGCO area in Hall 9. Fuse experts were stationed in each brand area to further explain how Fuse helps customers within each brand, and Fuse also had a presence in the Smart Farming exhibit hall.
In the APAC region, AGCO ATS dealers gathered in New Zealand in August for comprehensive training in AGCO's technology offerings. The Fuse South America launch began with the annual dealer meetings in that region: Massey Ferguson dealers in Argentina in November, and Valtra dealers in Brazil in December. The South America customer launch will soon follow with a Fuse presence at regional trade shows starting in early 2014.
An AgCommand website release with new features and updates went live in November, with updates for the mobile app launched this December. There were several product launches at Agritechnica as well: TaskDoc® which is now available on select Massey Ferguson combines, VarioDoc availability for select Fendt combines, and Fendt Section Control for most new Profi Plus tractors.
There have also been numerous activities for AGCO employees and dealers to learn about the new Fuse strategy and get excited about how we are delivering on our vision to provide high-tech solutions for professional farmers feeding the world.
What's next for Fuse Technologies? ATS recently launched the Fuse Contact Center, a dedicated, global customer support center, first open in North America with more regions coming on board in early 2014. The Fuse team will continue to provide ongoing support of the strategy from product development to marketing and communications. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest Fuse news!

U.S. Cooler manufactures Premium Quality Walk-ins at Very Reasonable prices.
This walk-in comes with a 1/2 HP penthouse indoor refrigeration system. Penthouse Systems provide two great advantages. First it comes with a condensate evaporator and does not require the installation of an evaporator condensate line. Second, and probably the most important advantage, is that there is not an evaporator coil hanging inside the walk in to hit your head on, or come in the way of shelving and take up precious storage space inside the walk in. This system is a little higher in cost but the advantages probably make it a better value.
System comes with a condensing unit, evaporator unit, and associated parts installed on a plug. This unit is pre-charged and ready to be set in the refrigeration cut out on top of the walk in. This refrigeration system rates a 1 on a scale of 5 with 5 being the hardest most technical to install and 1 being the easiest. This refrigeration system must be installed by a licensed refrigeration technician.
Our company can assist you with this installation.
Refrigeration unit includes a 1-year parts and labor warranty. Walk-in panels include a 10-year repair or replace parts only warranty. All other parts carry a standard 1-year parts warranty.
Refrigeration system is designed to hold product at 35 degrees Fahrenheit with product entering at 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
This indoor walk-in requires a minimum of 3,582 BTUs. Details.
Estimated Shipping Weight: 1091 lbs.
When your walk-in is shipped, you will receive an email with the delivery company's name and your PRO number. For exact delivery date, please contact the delivery company. The complete system comes delivered on a pallet banded and wrapped for further protection. A forklift will be needed to unload unit or the unit can be unpacked and unloaded panel by panel off the pallet while it is still on the truck. Two or three people will need to be available to receive delivery if this choice is chosen. You may be charged a surcharge if it takes too long to unload the truck. Additional freight will be charged for lift gate, residential deliveries and limited access.

Liberty News
UPDATE: Jerry Falwell Library groundbreaking moved to Wednesday
UPDATE: Due to forecasted inclement weather, the Jerry Falwell Library Groundbreaking Ceremony has been postponed to Wednesday, March 7.
Liberty University will break ground on its largest building project to date - the new Jerry Falwell Library - at 10:45 a.m. on Wednesday, March 7. Liberty's convocation will move outside at that time.
Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr., along with members of the administration and Board of Trustees, will join students, faculty and guests behind the Schilling Center.
The event will stream live on Liberty's facebook page.
The $50 million project was announced in October 2011 and is part of a quarter of a billion dollar campus transformation planned in the next five years.
Located at the heart of campus, the new four-story, 170,000-square-foot structure will be the first building at Liberty to be named for its founder and will contain a museum that will memorialize his life and ministry.
The building will be a blend of Jeffersonian features and modern architecture. It will be adjacent to a new commons area, which will be bigger than the lawn at the University of Virginia, and will overlook a new lake behind the Vines Center, the university's basketball arena and convocation center.
The library will integrate new information technologies with traditional resources, with portions of the collection stored in a state-of-the-art automated retrieval system. The main entry floor will provide the latest in computer lab technology, research assistance and customer service, while the upper floors will be primarily quiet study areas. An open four-story atrium will rise from the museum and through three floors of learning commons areas, an open two-story traditional reading room, terraces of study spaces inside and outside, and an open two-story food court to provide dining service for the more than 2 million visits expected to this facility each year.

For the Packer family of Middleboro, this past summer was a whirlwind of shocking news, medical appointments and anxiety about what the future holds for their infant son, Brayden.
For the Packer family of Middleboro, this past summer was a whirlwind of shocking news, medical appointments and anxiety about what the future holds for their infant son, Brayden.
"June 26, 2008, was the worst day of our entire lives," said Erin Packer, Brayden's mother.
On that day, the Packers found out that Brayden, now 9 months, was diagnosed with a rare disorder that impacts only one in 200,000 children.
"I received a call from the dermatologist's office that Brayden had a biopsy at a week prior," Packer said. " …The doctor explained to me that Brayden had Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis and that it was a rare blood disease. I cannot remember much about the rest of the call but his words after the name of the disease play in my mind over and over again. He said that we would have to take Brayden in to see an oncologist/hematologist. When those words came out of his mouth, my heart just crumbled."
The months that followed included trips to the Dana Farber Institute in Boston, extensive tests at Children's Hospital - which included 28 X-rays - as well as blood work and urine screens.
Packer said she and her husband, Bobby, found the X-ray procedure among the most difficult.
"This process was heart-wrenching for Bobby and me because we had to physically hold him down and he screamed the entire time," she said.
The good news, however, was that the other tests came back negative, and the couple's son had LCH contained to skin lesions at this time.
Brayden's aunt, Sharon Stone, is helping to organize a benefit in West Bridgewater to raise awareness about the condition and assist the family with rising medical expenses.
"LCH gets no government funding for research because is affects so few people," Stone said.
The condition, she said, can progress to impact bones, organs, and blood, beyond the initial skin lesions.
"At first the rash looked like cradle cap or maybe eczema," Stone said.
Treatment creams had no impact on Brayden's skin. The rash-like scales spread from his head to his back and stomach.
Erin Packer works as a sales assistant for a life insurance company in Bridgewater. Though the company has granted a lot of time in unpaid leave, the situation gets costly as medical bills mount.
"Juggling all these appointments and traveling to see a specialist in Texas… all the unpaid leave gets expensive," Stone said. "Some bills aren't covered, and when there's an appointment she also loses her pay for the day."
The disease can wax and wane and have flare-ups at different times, but the family is hopeful, Stone said.
"My goal is I believe it will go away and his body will get through this," she said.
The funds from the benefit will go toward the current bills, and be saved if a recurrence occurs.
"If it doesn't come back," Stone said. "we'll give whatever money is left to research for the disease so other children won't have to go through what Brayden went through."She also hopes parents may learn from the story.
"Most important to me is that maybe parents will read this and not brush off a rash," Stone said. "Erin followed her motherly intuition and was persistent. She knew something was not quite right."
Packer added that Brayden's brother, Tyler, 7, also has been impacted by the disease battled by his little brother.
"I was nervous while I was pregnant how Tyler would react to having a sibling because he did not have to share our attention for 6 ½ years," Packer said. "Tyler is the best big brother to Brayden. He loves Brayden so much and is always trying to make him laugh or smile... I catch him often looking in the rear view mirror singing to Brayden… He makes all of these funny faces while singing so he laughs.
"As devastating and scary Brayden's diagnosis was for Bobby and me, it was equally scary for Tyler. Not only was he having to share our attention with his new brother but now he found out that he is sick. At diagnosis he knew that there was something very wrong because he saw all of us crying. It is hard to explain to a 7-year-old in terms that he can understand that his brother is very ill."
"It's been quite the learning experience for Erin and Bobby, and stressful for everyone," Stone said.
For Packer, the upcoming event really will assist the family.
"The fundraiser is going to help our family tremendously," Packer said. "Since Brayden's diagnosis in June, every day that I have had to take off for appointment, because he is not feeling well, and to travel to Texas for a second opinion were all unpaid. The money raised will help pay for uninsured medical bills, co-payments, gas for travel into Boston, parking and other bills that accumulated due to unpaid time off… Bobby and I grateful for all the people who have helped organize and make this fundraiser a success."
The benefit will be held Saturday, Nov. 1, at 7 p.m. at the Canoe Club Ballroom, 2 South St., West Bridgewater. The event will include an auction, raffles, 50/50 raffle, food, and a cash bar. All proceeds will help Brayden's parents offset medical costs and support research for this rare condition.Tickets are $25 in advance or $35 at the door.
Checks should be made payable to the Brayden Packer Fund and may be dropped off or mailed to Citizens Bank at 755 Bedford Street; Winter Place; Bridgewater, MA 02324.

Fostering Agroforestry Measures and Sustainable Livelihoods through Eco-Agriculture Micro-Loans
Managed by the regional microloan foundation (MLF) "Imdodi Rushd" established in 2009 under the Gissar Biodiversity project, the eco-agriculture microloan system has helped rural community members in four target jamoats – namely, Rabot (Tursunzoda city), Sabo (Shahrinav district), Khonakoi Kuhi (Gissar district) and Romit (Vahdat city) – build environmentally sustainable livelihoods. As a non-commercial financial institution, the MFL has so far disbursed microloans on agricultural, SME, livestock and horticulture activities in 66 villages of the target jamoats. As such, the eco-agriculture microloan system is designed to support small individual or group-based projects that both generate income and increase the capacity of the local population to adapt to climate change and climate variability through agro-forestry.
In addition to providing financial assistance, the MLF, in close collaboration with the JRC and local forestry agencies, conducts educational activities and trainings among beneficiaries and rural communities regarding the purpose and operations of the MLF, loan management, and modern agro-forestry technologies.
- Microloans disbursed to 66 villages
- educational activities and trainings on the purpose and operations of the Microloan Foundation, loan management, and modern agro-forestry technologies conducted
- reduction of number of migrant workers to the Russian Federation in target jamoats
Thanks to the loan she obtained from Imdodi Rushd, Mrs. Sattorova Sanomoi, Director of School No. 100, was able to cultivate 28 ha of semi-supplied[1] rain-fed land in Devak village, jamoat Rabot. With an initial loan of 7,000 Somoni (USD 1,500) last year, she planted potatoes, melons and almond trees, making a net benefit of 3,500 Somoni (USD 750) with the sale of harvested products and was able to pay back her loan one day ahead of the set deadline. In addition to the micro-credit, Mrs. Sanomoi also received trainings and attended introductory workshops on loan management and agro-forestry. Together, the MLF and the JRC conducted a total of nine days of trainings on deforestation, agro-forestry and agro-investment, SMEs and trade, as well as on sanitary cleaning among the whole community. According to Mrs. Sanomoi, microloans help women gain greater financial autonomy. With a second loan of 7,000 Somoni invested in cattle breeding, she increased her livestock from one to seven cows and expects to be fully economically independent within two years.
In jamoat Rabot, the eco-agriculture loan system also enabled residents to rehabilitate and reinforce slope lands, enrich the soil and maximize their yields by using the proper methods, schemes and type of crops. Together with agro-forestry training, the loans helped the community transform formerly eroded and degraded slope lands by using an inter-cropping system, thereby securing their homes and producing additional forage for animals for the winter. According to microloan recipient Mr. Saloidin Toirov, "through eco-agriculture microloans, we were not only able to influence the price of seedlings and saplings but also improve livestock breeding products like milk and butter." He stresses how the flexible and affordable lending conditions of Imdodi Rushd allowed him and other community members to produce locally adapted quality seedlings and saplings. As a result, two nurseries of 0.5 ha and 1 ha respectively have been established in the area by Mr. Toirov and other members of the community to sell seedlings and rehabilitate slopes. "This is how we make our lives more sustainable," explains Mr. Toirov. "I'm sure that very soon I will get my yields, repay my loans and have enough money to pursue my farming practice next year without taking any more loans".
One of the most significant impacts of microloans in upholding rural communities' livelihoods and creating income generating opportunities can be observed by the reduced number of migrant workers to the Russian Federation, as well as in the interest of members and representatives of neighbouring Jamoats in obtaining loans and benefiting from the MLF's activities.
[1] Semi-supplied lands received in average between 500ml and 800ml of precipitations.

I wish I could take a minute this Repeal Day to post a list of swell goings-on around town, but alas, Providence doesn't seem to have anything going on. I could dig around in my books and find a classic cocktail to post (and I may still do that), but why follow the crowd?
Instead, I figured I'd help you program the music for your happening bash. The following songs, unless Wikipedia has lied to me yet again, all have some peg in 1933, the year that Prohibition finally ended. Some of them were written a year earlier but premiered in 1933, whereas the rest are fully Repeal Year babies.
Some of the songs are performed by their original artists, but most are not, and most are also not 1933 recordings.
Included in the mix are two very different versions of Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler's "Stormy Weather," just to show how versatile these songs are. Enjoy.
- Fred Astaire, "The Carioca." From 1933's Flying Down to Rio, the first Astaire/Ginger Rogers picture. It's always nice to remember that Astaire could also sing.
- Hoagy Carmichael, "Lazy Bones." The (only?) instance of a song performed by its composer. Hoagy 'n' me went to college together. I've eaten in the former cafe where he wrote "Star Dust," and he's the third-best thing about the film version of To Have and Have Not.
- Henry Hall, "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" Number three said nix on tricks, I will build my house with bricks. He had no chance to sing and dance 'cause work and play don't mix. This is from the Disney short, "Three Little Pigs," which premiered May 27, 1933.
- Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington, "Drop Me Off in Harlem." Louis + Duke = Nothing else to say.
- Maude Maggart and Fiona Apple, "(It's Only A) Paper Moon." Maggart and Apple are sisters, and they join up on this fun a cappella recording of Arlen and Harburg's standard.
- Jerry Orbach, John Lesko, & Various Artists, "Lullaby of Broadway." Okay, fuck it: this is a stretch. In 1933, there was a musical film called 42nd Street. In 1935, a song called "Lullaby of Broadway" first appeared in an unrelated movie. A later Broadway production of 42nd Street co-opted "Lullaby." It wasn't in the source material, though, so it's a cheat. Y'know why I say "fuck it"? It's always nice to remember that Orbach could also sing.
- Jimmy Durante, "Inka Dinka Doo." You're the top. You're Inferno's Dante. You're the nose on the great Durante.
- Doc & Merle Watson, "Stormy Weather." A little more Harold Arlen, this time writing with Ted Koehler. Doc Watson, who's still kicking around at 85, is a country and bluegrass pioneer. Merle, his son, died in 1985.
- Ike & Tina Turner, "Stormy Weather." Tina Turner, who's still kicking around at 69, is … aw, to hell with it, you know who she is.
- Bill Evans & Stan Getz, "Night and Day." Finally, a little Cole Porter, but I'm gonna cheat you of the lyrics because I'm a son of a bitch. Porter wrote this for his 1932 play, Gay Divorce, but 1933 saw it become a hit, when Fred Astaire recorded it.
- Bryan Ferry, "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." Recorded for his 1974 album, Another Time Another Place.
- Frank Sinatra, "You're Getting to Be a Habit With Me." From Frank's sublime Songs for Swinging Lovers.
- Ginger Rogers, "We're in the Money." I began with Fred, so it makes sense to end with Ginger. This is her original recording, from Gold Diggers of 1933. This song's a good reminder of the context in which Prohibition was repealed; the lyrics directly mention the Depression and bread lines. (In fact, sociologist David Hanson even links the Depression directly to the repeal of Prohibition.)
Oh, and because I love you, an embedded YouTube video of the always-dapper Ferry singing "Smoke":

WSOC: The Keagin Collie Moment of an A10 Championship

WSOC: The Keagin Collie Moment of an A10 Championship
I've been covering the UD women's soccer program for nearly as long as Head Coach
Mike Tucker
has been coaching the Flyers -- which is about as long as UD has regret over my diploma. I thought I had seen all there was to be seen, until I saw the 90-minute beatdown Sunday afternoon in the Atlantic-10 Championship in Kingston, RI. The Flyers butchered #1 seed St. Joseph's 7-0 like a steer visiting the slaughterhouse. The Hawks walked into the game with an 18-1-2 record and 17-match unbeaten streak. They came out the other end as hamburger.
Not only did the Flyers abuse St. Joseph's on the scoreboard, they abused them
in the game of soccer
. It's not that Dayton ran up the score -- the Hawks were
it wasn't 10-0 or 11-0. Dayton did whatever Dayton wanted, and they did it doing all the right things at the right time.
wanted to pull hair in the school cafeteria. Dayton took it to the octagon instead. It was a fighter jet digesting a bird into engine #1 and never slowing down.
Things went so right because everyone that took the field became the best version of themselves -- whatever that individual ceiling was. Erin O'Malley was back to her old self again, setting Karl Malone-esque picks to shield the ball from opposing midfielders. Libby Leedom played eyes-up and head-strong, and Alexis Kiehl did what Alexis Kiehl does -- turn every matchup into a beep test until the opposing players tap out from exhaustion.
Freshman Micayla Livingston touched so far beyond her previous high water mark, the American Sports Network telecast sounded like her own paid promotional infomercial. Just 20 minutes into the match, her defender was grabbing the shorts and calling "uncle". Livingston saw it and played
The Flyer back line operated with the precision of a German rail time table. Nadia Pestell ran loose like a pit bull with a snapped chain and stuck a cork in everything in her direction. Yet her offensive punch might have been even better -- her booming overlaps up the sideline got her deeper into the Flyer offense than she'd been all season. And it was all natural and unforced. Every time she made the call to push high, it was the right thing to do. She understood where the mismatches were and her speed was a weapon worth exploiting.
Along with Sarah Byrne, Hanna Merritt, and Nicolette Griesinger, they made SJU's top-scoring offense look like lawn ornaments. A10 Offensive Player of the Year Dakota Mills -- all 5-11 of her -- touched the ball about six times all match. If you want to slow a great player down -- deny them the ball. Smart soccer once again. The Flyer defense was never really tested because they made sure there were never balls to be tested against. Working that little bit harder at the beginning made their jobs so much easier at the tail end. Even three weeks ago this concept was elusive. On Sunday afternoon, it was almost perfection.
The overall work rate and off-the-ball movement was -- well -- off the charts. Every player had an open passing lane to an open player because a teammate did the extra work to fill free space and provide an outlet. After a while, the game looked so easy to the Flyers. Every time someone had the ball, they had two or three options -- all on the ground. The match had great passing, but the
work was done away from the player with the ball -- and everyone on the team pitched in.
To say Dayton won at least 80% of the 50/50 challenges is probably unrealistic -- it was probably higher than that. Players went after loose balls like a pack of crazed dogs. After a while, the Hawks were so physically demoralized they began to lose their mental toughness as well. And every time the Flyers saw weakness, they tightened the screw even further.
The number of times any player can play to 110% of their ability 100% of the time in any game in any season is about 2-3 matches at most. Dayton got that from every player in the same game.
When Keagin Collie body-slammed Dakota Mills at midfield, the match was over
. That was a play from a player I had not seen all season. The champion wrestler. And while Collie got whistled for the foul,
it didn't matter
. She made her point that things were going to be different today.
It's amazing to think that UD had to win a home match against
in the regular season finale just to qualify for the A10 Tournament at all. In essence, this was a four-game single elimination tournament and the Flyers outscored their opponents 15-1. For a team that couldn't stop anybody defensively for two-thirds of the season -- the Flyers have amassed five clean sheets in the last seven matches. Offensively, UD exploded. Five of the 15 goals came against the two best defensive teams in the league (
- Quarterfinals, GW - Semifinals). UD outscored the top scoring team in the league (SJU) by seven goals in the Championship. I'm sure if you ask GK Kaelyn Johns she'll tell you she prefers
having much to do inside the box.
Remember when the Flyers were 3-8-3? It was literally about 2.5 weeks ago. They will be playing in their 10th NCAA Tournament next week and how they get seeded should be one of the most interesting storylines of the bracket. Their record is not great, their RPI is awful. Yet they just cut through the best of the A10 like a hot knife through warm butter. The odds are the Flyers will have a major 1st Round challenge on their hands.
The reversal of fortune is one of the most dramatic I've ever seen in the program, but this team had a lot of improving left on the table heading into the final week of the regular season. By and large they underachieved up to that point, coughing up results to mediocre opponents by hemorrhaging goals-against and relying too heavily on one player in the offense. They took a lot of criticism -- much of deserved -- but everyone around the program knew they had more to give. The hurdle was convincing the players they had it in them. And the first order of business was demanding a better work ethic over 90 minutes. No more naps, no more feet off the gas pedal, no more inexcusable gaffs or mental meltdowns. Fans saw a much better work rate against UMass when the finality of the season was at stake. Tucker also tweaked the lineup and stuck an extra defender in the back line. He also returned Leedom to the attacking midfield where she's most comfortable. These were small but significant changes.
Against St. Louis, they took it to place it had not gone all season. I believe it was at this point that Dayton started believing in themselves again. Instead of playing with one another, they started playing
one another -- demonstrating love for their teammates by how hard they work to make their teammates better on the field. Love is an action, not a feeling. Once placed in action, players fed off one another and collectively surfed the tidal wave into shore.
Even had the Flyers won 2-0 -- or had lost 2-1 -- it was one of the best matches ever played under Mike Tucker. The passing was impeccable, movement purposeful, defending high-class, and work rate -- how many times can it be said -- the work rate drove the bus. Nothing juices up a team like watching each other dig to a place deep inside one's ticker. No Flyer team has
played as hard since UD's 3-1 loss to Virginia Tech in the 2009 NCAA 2nd Round.
Sunday afternoon was soccer at a near-elite level. The kind good enough to beat NCAA at-large teams. And here's the most interesting part of the 180-degree turnaround -- there's no reason why the Flyers can't do it again. Nobody did anything against St. Joseph's that was beyond their skill set. There were no video-game bicycle kicks, nutmegs, fortunate bounces off the crossbar, or feasting on a cupcake to feel artificially better. Every goal was manufactured with high-level build-up. Every defensive stop was collective and sound. Every 50/50 challenge was an individual battle for supremacy.
And that's perhaps the most gratifying part of this championship team. What came so difficult three weeks ago looked so easy at times on Sunday afternoon in Kingston, RI. Truth is, it was anything but easy. The Flyers played their guts out and nobody tried to fake the sweat equity. They had each others' "six" which is all any coach can ask in team sports: to be the best version of you, so you can help your teammates become the best version of themselves.
We got another win in us?

Jenzabar released the latest version of Jenzabar Social at the Educause 2013 conference in Anaheim last week.
Jenzabar Social is a platform for higher education institutions to create online communities through existing social networks, such as Facebook, or to create private online communities. According to Michael O'Heam, product manager for Jenzabar Social, it can be a hassle for schools to keep track of their various social media sites and which ones are official, but Jenzabar Social is designed to make those tasks easier.
"The dashboard within Jenzabar Social collaborates official social media accounts across the institution, from admissions and athletics, to student affairs and alumni relations," he said in a prepared statement. "The different social media accounts are brought together in one secure location through the Jenzabar Social platform, making it easier for constituents to find and track social media presence and activity of their institutions."
According to the company, the new version of Jenzabar Social offers responsive design tools to scale content appropriately for desktops, tablets, or smartphones. The update also adds support for more online social networking tools, including Google+, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter.
Other key features of Jenzabar Social include:

The Coalition for Healthcare Communication (CHC) -- comprised of major advertising, marketing and PR organizations, including the American Association of Advertising Agencies, the Association of National Advertisers, and the Public Relations Society of America -- filed a Citizen Petition with the Food and Drug Administration today asking the FDA to formulate new rules governing consumer advertising of prescription drugs (see "Coalition for Healthcare Communication Seeks New Prescription Drug Advertising Rules").
The proposal calls for the elimination of specific risk information in print and broadcast DTC (direct to consumer) advertising. You know, things like erections lasting 4 hours or longer and sleep binge eating; great material for comedians but a royal pain in the ass for advertisers.
It is very difficult, if not impossible, to communicate risk in the current DTC format -- mostly 60-second TV ads (see "Can Drug Ads Communicate Risk?"). The problem has led many influential stakeholders -- including Senator Frist (see "Deconstructing Frist on DTC") -- to call for a ban or moratorium on DTC. In fact, PhRMA -- the drug industry's trade association in the US -- suggests "companies should spend an appropriate amount of time to educate health professionals about a new medicine or a new therapeutic indication before commencing the first DTC advertising campaign" (see "PhRMA Finalizes DTC Principles"). Not a call for a moratorium exactly, but a tacit recognition of the problem.
Instead of eliminating DTC or grappling with how to communicate risk, the CHC simply wishes to do away completely with the necessity to communicate risk in DTC -- including print and Internet DTC! And they call themselves communicators!
CHC's argument goes something like this:
- Consumers are too dumb to weigh all the risks vs. benefits [CHC doesn't use that derogatory term. Their petition uses the more PC phrase "consumers with different educational and economic backgrounds"]
- Only prescribers -- "learned intermediaries" -- can do this
- DTC ads are effective at getting consumers to visit their doctors and ask about treatment and not effective as an educational tool
- DTC ads, therefore, should not mention specific risks, just say that there are risks and direct consumers to discuss these risks with their physicians.
Here's what the CHC envisions the risk statement in a DTC ad to look like:
"Like all drugs, [drug name] has both benefits and risks. [Drug name] is only available by prescription, and your doctor can explain how [drug name] is likely to affect you. Be sure to tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, and about any other medications you are taking, because this information could affect whether you should take [drug name]. Remember, only your doctor can decide if [drug name] is best for you."
The onus is plainly on the physician. This is the "learned intermediary" doctrine, which has seen better days (ie, starting in 1951 when Congress required FDA to identify drugs requiring a prescription to be filled by a doctor rather than bought over the counter). "Under this rubric," says CHC, "courts recognized that drug manufacturers owe duties of specific side effect disclosure to practitioners, rather than patients, and that practitioners must take responsibility for understanding those risks, relating them to the clinical situation of the patient, and counseling the patient appropriately."
There is one problem -- OK, maybe a few problems -- with the learned intermediary doctrine: how learned is the intermediary? The "duty" of the manufacturer to inform doctors of drug risks has been under scrutiny lately in VIOXX trials and other news that brings into question whether or not drug companies are being completely transparent about risks in communications to physicians (see, for example, "Merck's Hand in the Cookie Jar").
CHC itself cited a New Jersey Supreme Court view that stated physicians play a "much diminished role as an evaluator and decisionmaker" with respect to prescription drugs and that manufacturers using DTC must take responsibility for comprehensive risk disclosure to patients. The CHC's petition effectively retorts: "Not in my backyard (ie, DTC advertising) you don't!"
Another small criticism of the learned intermediary doctrine: it seems a bit quaint in this day when patients have access to the same information as physicians and often surpass them in the knowledge of medications (of course, I am not talking about those "different" patients). Besides, patients are now being asked to make more decisions about their own healthcare -- like how to spend their insurance dollar (heard of "consumer-directed healthcare" anyone?)
According to the CHC, "the patient is the decision-maker only with respect to whether a practitioner should be approached." How atavistic can you get?
The CHC cites a couple of dangers of including specific risk information in DTC:
- "Patients may conclude innocently, but wrongly, that an FDA-endorsed brief summary tells them all they need to know about the risks of taking a particular drug, and
- "they may purchase the drug without a prescription or meaningful diagnosis from 'bargain' web sites, or other non-US sources, thus endangering their health."
Point (2) is the Internet and Canadian Pharmacy Bogeyman scare tactic, which is often used by the drug industry (see, for example, "PhRMA's Terrorist Plot"). I won't say any more about that.
Obviously, I could go on all day about this. I prefer, however, to open this up to your comments: Take the Online Survey Now! Your responses are confidential and you may remain anonymous. You can view the de-identified results as soon as you complete the survey. Thanks!

A Doctor's Tonsil Guillotine
This is a tonsil guillotine,
used for taking tonsils out.
It was used in a doctor's surgery
in Thornton Heath.
Audrey Neeves

Audrey describes Dr Pajnigar:
"Anyway, in the end
I had my tonsils out.
It was down at
the local doctor's surgery.
He was an Indian doctor,
Dr Pajnigar.
I can remember it very well
being taken down there,
laid out on the slab,
and this big thing
coming down from the ceiling,
and the strong smell of ether.
And when my mother came in
Dr Pajnigar went out and said
'You can come in now, mother'.
There was blood everywhere,
she thought I was dying.
He must have been about the
only Indian I think,
in those days,
but nobody ever thought him different,
it must have been
because he was a doctor.
He used to drive around
in a big Rolls Royce
with six Alsatians in it.
But he was a marvellous doctor."
Health care
Audrey Neeves often suffered
from tonsillitis.
Removing tonsils was thought to be
a way of preventing constant infections.
In the 1920s and early 1930s
it was common to have your tonsils
taken out by your GP.
From the mid-1930s
it was usually done in hospital
It is now known that tonsils
form part of the immune system,
so taking them out can be damaging.
