text: Laser and Reconstructive Surgery Frequently Asked Questions Q: Are "cosmetic" procedures reimbursed by insurance companies? A: Procedures considered "cosmetic" by the insurance companies are NOT covered by insurance companies. These include laser treatments of "brown spots," freckles, tattoos, hair removal, scars, and "broken blood vessels" such as telangiectasia and spider angioma. Sclerotherapy (spider vein treatments) are also considered "cosmetic" by the insurance companies. Q: Are laser and surgical procedures performed at the initial visits? A: No. All new patients require an initial consultation to enable the physician to evaluate and examine the skin, diagnose the skin lesion(s) and ultimately, plan and discuss the procedure(s) with the patient, in detail. Q: Are lasers dangerous? Who should use them? A: Like many other medical devices, lasers should only be used by individuals who are trained in indications for their appropriate use, fully versed in the technology (including safety), and of course, highly experienced in the field of application. As a medical procedure, skin laser surgery should properly be performed by physicians with dermatological training. Q: Is general anesthesia necessary? A: No. While several practitioners do use it, general anesthesia would appear to be a matter of individual preference rather than essential. While its safety record is very good, general anesthesia is not a frivolous undertaking. Other techniques of anesthesia are available and are routinely used in this practice: e.g. topical anesthesia, cryo-anesthesia and local nerve blocks. Dr. Oon Tian Tan, who has had the longest clinical experience of any physician with this new generation of lasers, has not used general anesthesia in the treatment of thousands of patients. Q: There seem to be a lot of different lasers. Is there a "best one"? A: Indeed there is much confusion about this and even in the medical profession, there is not unanimity. How, then, does a patient get unbiased information? There would seem to be two routes. In one approach, patients decide to educate themselves. The wide availability of medical literature databases has allowed many patients to examine the last decade of published research and approach the physician as informed consumers. As an alternative, the patient can contact those national organizations and charities which have impartial information. Q: What is laser skin therapy? A: The last ten years has seen a revolution in techniques for treating certain congenital and chronic skin problems headed by a new generation of lasers. A key feature has been selectivity - the effective removal of the lesions without unnecessary damage to surrounding structures. This has resulted in: minimal scarring the treated skin appearing "normal" in texture and color Previous lasers, and even some currently being used, do not have this degree of safety. Laser treatment of Portwine stain birthmarks in children with the pulsed dye laser has been most predominantly featured but this represents only one of the successes. Now, several skin problems, congenital and acquired, medical and cosmetic, in young and old, can all be treated by lasers. Q: What is the recovery like following laser treatments? A: The post-operative recovery following laser treatments will vary according to the laser used. Some laser treatments will leave minimal skin changes, allowing you to return to your normal life immediately following the treatments while others will require some "down time." The details of the different recovery periods will be discussed with you at your initial consultation. Q. Are procedures (such as laser, surgery, cosmetic) preformed at the initial appointment? A. No. All new patients require an initial consultation (meaning no procedures are carried out) to enable Dr. Tan to evaluate and examine the skin, diagnose any issues and ultimately, plan and discuss in detail possible treatment methods.

Editor's Note: This is the third in a series on the San Juan Hospital, which will celebrate a half century of service on January 6, 2010.
Last week, we reminisced about the battle that took place in the late 1950's over whether Blanding or Monticello would get a new hospital. Monticello won the special election by a slim margin and the rest is history.
The new hospital was completed in late l959 and the move from the old hospital occurred the first week of January, 1960 during the worst snowstorm of the winter. The $750,000 edifice opened for business January 6, l960. Its doors have been open continuously since then.
Bricks and steel make hospitals. But they are empty shells until educated, dedicated, caring personnel arrive to make the building come alive. The doctors, nurses, technical personnel and other employees are the spirit of the hospital and many people have worked and cared so that the rest of us had a place to go when sickness and accidents occurred.
In the summer of l973, a medical student named Alan Norton Lindsay from the University of Utah did an eight-week internship at the San Juan Hospital in Monticello under the tutelage of Dr. Carroll D. Goon. Upon completion of his sojourn in Monticello he wrote an essay on the experience which was published in a medical journal. His writing gives an outsider's view of the life of a rural doctor and his hospital. Excerpts:
"I went to Monticello Utah, 50 miles south of Moab. It seemed to me to be in the middle of nowhere. It has a drug store, three drive-ins, and a drive-in movie. Its major excitement aside from outstanding outdoor activities of all kinds is watching the award-winning high school marching band and discussing past football glories. It has many interesting and wonderful people, two very good doctors and a hospital.
"The longer I stayed, the more convinced I became that the supposed inadequacies of small rural hospitals were more than compensated for by advantages that a large city hospital could never offer.
"In a small hospital like Monticello's there is a much more relaxed atmosphere than in large ones. There is a slower pace and there is less need for regimentation and departmentalization.
"The patient is made to feel more like a guest than a burden to the staff. He is not besieged with strange doctors and medical students. There is a new nurse every shift, but she is likely to be a neighbor, and somehow nursing care takes on an added dimension when it is a friend who is being treated.
"I was officially working under Dr. Carroll Goon, but I also spent a lot of time with Dr. Jerrold Smith, the other physician in town. Dr. Goon makes the San Juan Hospital unique among small hospitals because he is a board certified surgeon and is thus able to tackle surgical problems that most general practitioners would hesitate to approach.
"On the average day, Monticello's two doctors see 50-70 patients in their private practices. On Monday the number would jump to between 70 and 80. After a holiday, visits could be astronomical. For instance, on July 5, 1973, Dr. Goon saw 98 office patients, many of whom had done too much celebrating the day before.
"All in all, my summer in Monticello taught me many things. I am convinced that all medical students should spend some time witnessing rural medicine. From my stay, I learned that good small town medicine is indeed possible and that the medical community should take pride in the work of the rural practitioner.
"I learned that it takes a certain type of man to practice successfully in rural America: One who enjoys small town life and the people with whom he will associate; one who enjoys facing a day not knowing what to expect -- injuries from an auto accident, an acute appendicitis, hay fever, a C-section, school physicals, fulminating meningitis; one who enjoys overcoming the difficulties of sometimes inadequate facilities; one who feels that he is capable of handling most of what he sees; and one who recognizes his own limitations and is willing to quickly send a patient on when he feels that he cannot adequately care for him."
– Alan Norton Lindsay
Despite its isolation, San Juan County has truly been blessed with great doctors and nurses and the supporting personnel over the last half century.
The thrust of this article is to name and honor the hundreds of people who have served. The best brains at the hospital in 2009 have tried to remember, and what records there are have been searched, but no doubt someone will be missed. For that, we apologize in advance.
Doctors who have served since l960, in chronological order as best we could determine are as follows: Dr. Lacy, Carroll D. Goon, Jerrold C. Smith, Terry Henrie, DeLaMar L. Gibbons, James D. Redd, Dr. Fallon, Peter De Wolfe, Roland Benedict, James Herbert, Kim McDonald, Kelly Nickolson, Steven Warren, Paul Mayberry, Val Jones, Joel Porter, Nathaniel Penn, Robert Mena, Manfred Nelson, Steve McArthur, Sandy Nielson, Jay Reddy, Rajani Katkuri, Martin McNeil, Jerry Howe, Kevin Matteson and Gene Key.
Doctors presently serving at the San Juan Hospital are: Mahana Fisher, Paul Reay, Steven Bloink, Kris Hayes and Curtis Black.
Nurses: Will be featured in a future article.
Administrators since 1960 are: Lloyd Hamilton, Ronald Nielson, Arlow Freestone, Wayne Ross, William Reger, Rayburn Jack, Norma Nielson Hobbs, Rick Bailey (interim administrator) John Fellmeth, Larry Putnam, Dana Barnett, Craig Ambrosiani, Cleal Bradford, John Hart, Lyman Duncan, Dennis Moser, Craig Preston and Phil Lowe.
Radiologists: Dorr H. Burns, Robert Swenson, Clyde Cukendall, William Ellingson, Vaughan Johnson, Jim Furze, Mark Walter, and Billy Bardin. For the last several years x-rays are transmitted electronically to the University of Utah where they are viewed and returned, sometimes within minutes.
Anesthetists/ CRNA's: Dr. Joe Hamilton, Connie Whipple, Lillian Birch, Mitch Bailey, Kay Osteen, Brad Young and Larry Turrin.
Office Personnel: Margaret Bronson, Leda Young, Rita Walker, Cheryle Harbison, Frances Scheer, Eloise Herron, Jerilyn Ward, Frances Erickson, Linda Richardson, Roma Young, Jill Gorrie, Alice Marsh, Susan Taylor, Deana Dalton, Joyce Coleman, Julie Robinson, Sue Morrell, Francis La Giglia, Tracy Walker, Erin Barry, Haven Davis, Kristen Christensen and Holly Walker.

A class action--which allows many plaintiffs to consolidate similar or identical claims into a single lawsuit--offers advantages to both plaintiffs and defendants. If you've been injured or defrauded by a company and believe that others have had the same experience, talk to a class actions lawyer to learn whether you have grounds for a lawsuit. A class actions attorney can investigate the potential scope and magnitude of a lawsuit, and determine whether another class action lawsuit has already been filed with the courts. If the law firm determines that a class action is appropriate, it can prepare and file the lawsuit on your behalf.

A family from the Midwest formed a crescent around the posted menu outside an Italian restaurant on Mulberry Street, the main (and only) drag of Manhattan's shrinking Little Italy. It didn't take long for the Latino restaurant barker — the guys who stand on the sidewalk trying to lure in the indecisive and hungry — to pounce: "Ciao, bellas," he said, using the Spanish plural of the Italian noun. "Come in and eat," he added, motioning with a sweep of his arm toward the open door. The family, though, thought better of it and moved on.
Welcome to Little Italy. Once a ghetto for new Italian immigrants, the neighborhood stretched south to north from Canal to Houston streets and east to west from Bowery to Lafayette Street. But as Italian immigrants made money, the prospect of more space and better living conditions lured them to other parts of Manhattan or the outer boroughs, and Chinatown expanded right up to Mulberry Street.
The neighborhood is now a shell of its former self, an anachronism of fake accents and generally mediocre restaurants, frozen in a time warp when eating sloppily executed "I-talian" cuisine was the norm among New Yorkers. Mulberry Street's sidewalks are populated by tourists who may not know their farfalle from their fusilli but have the impression that the most authentic Italian experience in New York can be found here.
Photos: Restaurants of New York City's Little Italy
Italian has always been the cuisine of choice for New York. You don't need to walk more than a block or two most anywhere in Manhattan to find a restaurant serving pasta and red sauce. But in recent years, a new wave of Italian restaurants has appeared, run by chefs that have taken the cuisine up a notch. The results have turned Italian into the new French cuisine. It's no longer cucina povera, comfort food, but splurge-worthy and Michelin-starred.
Some examples include Locanda Verde, Scarpetta, Marea and Maialino, among many others, and this doesn't include the recent wave of outstanding Neapolitan pizzerias that have opened in the Big Apple.
Little Italy, however, has been left out of this trend, until recently. In the last year, restaurants serving inspired Italian cuisine have popped up on Mulberry Street. They're in Nolita — an acronym New Yorkers mistake as North of Little Italy, but according to the Italian American Museum on Mulberry Street, it means Northern Little Italy. Together with a few new night-life spots on Mulberry, these places are bringing back locals to a street that has been colonized by tourists for decades.
Two people who are (unintentionally) leading the way are Rich Torrisi and Mario Carbone, Italian American chefs from Westchester County and Queens, respectively. Both logged time in the kitchens of celebrated New York Italian restaurants before jointly opening Torrisi Italian Specialties in early 2010. The restaurant, whose location on Mulberry is simply a coincidence because they liked the space, made appearances on almost every New York restaurant critic's end-of-year best new restaurants of 2010 list.
But what makes Torrisi particularly interesting is that it's serving Italian American fare — that much maligned and disrespected cuisine that most talented Italian-leaning chefs won't touch with a 10-foot spatula.
"Italian American cuisine has a bad reputation because it's bad," Torrisi, 31, said when I sat down with the two chefs just before the lunch rush. "For ages, talented chefs were cooking French and even now that they're doing Italian again, Italian American dishes are seen as a bastardized version. But we're doing it because that's what we are, that's what we grew up eating."
They seem to be doing something right. As out-of-towners browse the menus of the mostly tourist-filled restaurants a couple of blocks down Mulberry Street, locals are lined up outside Torrisi every night starting at 5:15 hoping to get in. (Torrisi doesn't take reservations.)
During the day, Torrisi offers sandwiches — chicken parm, for example — and sides of seasonal vegetables. But at night, the lights are dimmed and a $50 multicourse prix-fixe menu is offered, serving Italian staples such as devil's chicken, and others, such as ricotta gnocchi with goat meat, that allow the chefs to exercise some creativity. All the ingredients are sourced from as close to the restaurant as possible.
"If our goal was to open an Umbrian restaurant," Carbone, 31, said, "then we'd get Umbrian products. But we're Italian American — and so we're using American products.
"In a way, sourcing locally is more Italian than importing your ingredients from far away." If you had any doubt, said products line the walls of the restaurant, broken up only by, inexplicably, a photo of Billy Joel.
Across the street and a few storefronts down sits Rubirosa, another Italian American restaurant that has quickly garnered attention (and lines) since opening in 2010. Like Torrisi and Carbone, Angelo Pappalardo, who worked at Esca, an upscale Italian restaurant in Midtown before opening Rubirosa, the Mulberry Street location was not by design. "I looked at a lot of spaces around town and eventually a friend told me about the Mulberry space but in a negative way, saying, 'I know a nice space, but it's on Mulberry,'" Pappalardo said.
He took it anyway, and now produces a menu that echoes the food he grew up with at his parents' well-known Staten Island pizzeria Joe & Pat's: bruschetta, variations on the theme of pasta and his father's popular recipe for thin-crust pizza — which Pappalardo asserts his father says is better than the original.
An outpost of Le Baron, a famous Paris nightclub, will be putting up its velvet ropes in the next couple of months. Also, the much-buzzed-about Mulberry Project, a subterranean cocktail bar (with small plates) occupying an old Italian speak-easy, has opened in the center of Little Italy restaurant schlock. It's all enough to make one local publication declare Mulberry Street the next Meatpacking District, the hip downtown Manhattan neighborhood that epitomizes trendiness.
I wandered down Mulberry Street to find out what the other half thinks of this development. Inside Vincent's, an old-school restaurant just off Mulberry, I met owner Vincent Generoso, along with Sambuca's Café owner Ralph Tramontana. Both hold positions (vice president and president, respectively) in LIMA, Little Italy Merchants Assn. They were aware of what was going on up the street but dismissed it with a "fuggetaboutit." Then I mentioned the neighborhood restaurants' inedible reputation among New Yorkers. This time Tramontana had a more out-sized reaction.
"No, no, no!," he said. "Sure, there might be a bad apple or two, but these are quality restaurants down here. Some of the places here have been around a long time — Vincent's, 1904; Grotta Azzurra, 1908," he said. "If these were terrible restaurants, they wouldn't still be around."
Point taken, but it's clear that Little Italy, at least the southern stretch of Mulberry Street, is fighting an uphill battle. And with the arrival of restaurants such as Torrisi Italian Specialties and Rubirosa, as well as hip cocktail lounges such as Mulberry Project, a bigger divide may occur. Little Italy for the locals? Little Italy for the tourists?

Jason Catala rebounding after disappointing New London school board loss
New London - Jason Catala's face still reddens when he talks about the panicky feeling he experienced last November when he realized he hadn't been re-elected to the city's Board of Education.
The five-term incumbent Republican was at party headquarters with his young daughter and mother, keeping tabs as the numbers came in.
"I knew it wasn't good," said Catala, "and I kept thinking, this is really happening, it's true.
"But immediately after I started thinking about running again."
And about switching his party affiliation.
Two weeks later, after attending the final school board meeting of his last term, Catala sat in his car and completed a change-of-party form he had been carrying around with him. And he mailed it.
For Catala, a lifelong Republican, it wasn't so much about party affiliation as it was about serving the students and parents of the city again.
"I just felt I wasn't finished yet," he said, explaining he wanted to be involved in the school board's decision-making on Common Core State Standards, magnet schools and selection of a new superintendent.
Two years earlier, Election Day 2011, was an epiphany for Catala. He was barely re-elected for his fifth two-year term, garnering just two more votes than the last-place finisher. And when he saw post-Election Day photos, he was dismayed by his size and appearance.
"I was just a mess," said Catala, 39, acknowledging that he weighed close to 300 pounds and struggled to secure the button on his suit coat.
That 2009 to 2011 term on the school board had been tumultuous, and by his own admission today, Catala was part of the problem.
"I was nit-picking and taking things personally. I was very frustrated," he said. "And I had gotten a reputation as a rabble-rouser."
The city's schools were in trouble and rather than focus on meaningful ways to raise test scores and standards, board members were bickering.
At one meeting, Catala went off on a tirade about whether hot dogs prepared at the schools were served on bread or rolls and whether students got seconds and teachers had to pay for their food.
The state had already sent an observer to board meetings who warned members to "get your act together" or risk state intervention, and that ultimately did happen, when in June 2012 Steven Adamowski was appointed special master to help direct improvements in New London schools.
Catala, a teacher in the gifted and talented program in New Haven schools, was already on his own path to self-improvement.
A new board had been elected and with the change in faces, Catala said he tried a more conciliatory approach. Democrat Peg Curtin, the current board president who was elected in 2011, said the tone and temperament of school board meetings changed, and all voices were heard, which hadn't been the case in the recent past.
"(Catala) was insulted, he had not been treated with any sort of dignity," she said in his defense. "But with four new members, everyone was treated with respect. There was no more picking on anybody."
When the state mandated training for school board members, Catala attended every session.
At the same time, he was going through a personal transformation, drastically changing his eating habits. He cut his usual daily calories from about 3,500 to 1,000, kept a food journal and exercised. In 14 months, Catala lost about 130 pounds.
"People thought I had the surgery, but I didn't. And I never saw a specialist. I just counted calories and walked," he said.
Looking back, he said he realized he had been leaving board meetings so frustrated that his blood pressure was spiking.
A single father, he looked at his daughter, Elizabeth, now 7, and decided to focus on her.
"I didn't want to drop dead on her," he said.
He used to leave school board meetings infuriated and stop at a local eatery to pick up a late dinner, usually his favorite chicken Parmesan with ziti. He switched that to a salad and low-calorie entree.
By the fall of 2013, Catala was convinced voters would re-elect the new and improved Jason, and it stung when they didn't.
Maybe, he finally decided, it was time to switch parties.
Although everyone else in his family is a Democrat, Catala registered as a Republican when he turned 18, mostly, he explained, to be different.
He served five terms on the school board and one term on the City Council. He ran four times for state representative but never won.
He describes himself as a fiscal conservative, but said he's open-minded on almost every other issue.
His decision to become a Democrat, he admits, is about finding a path back to the school board.
Catala has been attending Democratic Town Committee meetings and talking to party members.
Bill Vogel, chairman of the city Republican Town Committee, said Catala has the right to choose a party, and added that "it is easier to win as a Democrat in New London."
Democrats and unaffiliated voters outnumber Republicans 5 to 1 in the city.
"I think with Jason, no matter what party he's in, his heart is on his sleeve, and he's there, doing it, for the good of New London," said Rob Pero, a former city councilor and ceremonial mayor who is also a Republican.
"Jason wants to do what's right for the school system. He wants to serve again."
Democratic Town Chairman William Satti said when Catala called to tell him he was switching parties, he welcomed him.
It's still 20 months until the next municipal election, too soon to know whether Catala's name will be on the 2015 ballot.
"Maybe it's selfish of me (switching parties) because I want to run again," said Catala, who through all of his terms never missed a regular board meeting.
"But it seems just when I had everything going for me, then I didn't get re-elected again."

The recent letter from CW4 Steven Kersting reminded me that the term "settling with power" is somewhat misleading ("VRS vs. Settling With Power, February 2008, page 7). Power has little to do with the phenomenon.
As I discussed in the July 2007 issue, in a vertical descent, tip vortices are being generated that self-activate themselves to go down at a speed that is determined by the rotor disc loading. At some descent speed, the helicopter is coming down at the same speed as the tip vortices and so the rotor gets entangled with them. It is now in the vortex ring state.
Not only does the local environment become chaotic, making the thrust fluctuate, but the average thrust decreases. This is due to the surrounding tip vortices inducing some of the wake to make a U-turn and come back down through the rotor, as shown in the photo (at right) taken from one frame of a smoke movie. At a constant pitch, this reduces the angles of attack on the blade elements.
The magnitude of the loss is shown on the plot of thrust versus rate of vertical descent. This is based on model tests conducted on a "long track" where the air stands still and the model moves through it, unlike a wind tunnel in which the model stands still while air moves past it. (The results are the same.) Although the test results were presented in coefficient form, I have converted them to represent a helicopter that hovers at 4,000 lb with a collective pitch of 12 deg.
The effects on the plot have also been observed in a wind tunnel test simulating vertical descent by using a remote control on collective pitch to hold thrust constant as the tunnel speed was increased. Initially, the required pitch went down, but at the speed for the vortex ring, it had to be increased.
As the rate of descent slowly increases from hover, the pilot must initially reduce the collective to maintain thrust equal to weight. If, in this initial phase, the rate inadvertently increases, the thrust increases and the helicopter returns to the rate it had before the disturbance. Thus, we can say that initially the thrust is stable with descent rate. For this helicopter, that characteristic changes above 500 fpm as it enters the vortex ring state. Beyond this point, if there is an inadvertent increase in the rate, the thrust decreases and the helicopter comes down even faster. Thus, it is unstable. If the pilot just hangs on, the helicopter will all by itself increase its rate of descent until it reaches a region of stability above 1,500 fpm on its way toward vertical autorotation. Even if, while in the unstable region, the pilot increases collective, he will only get a transient increase in thrust that will do him little good since the lines for higher collectives are also unstable. Down he comes!
In a wind tunnel or on a long track, it is possible to acquire steady test data in the unstable region because the model cannot respond to changes of thrust. That is not true in the flight of an actual helicopter. The instability makes it impossible to acquire steady data in the vortex ring state. The pilot would be moving his collective up and down in a vain chase of any steady condition at which to take data.
What about power?
As you can see, power did not enter into this discussion. It does come in, as a secondary consideration, in those wind tunnel tests where the thrust is held constant with collective. In the steady conditions for vortex ring, the downward inflow shown in the smoke-movie photo simulates a rate of climb and consequently the power required goes up. In flight, since no steady point can be obtained, this effect would generally not be observable.
So our vocabulary should change. Instead of "power settling," I would rather refer to the phenomenon as "thrust instability." This situation involving the vortex ring state should not be confused with that other "power settling" condition illustrated by flying to the top of a mountain in forward flight but finding there isn't enough engine power to hover and so settling as the rotor rpm drifts into the red zone. I would call this "running out of power" and so we have eliminated "power settling" from our vocabulary.
Besides vertical descent, the problem also occurs in low-speed forward flight, which will be discussed next time.

The Talara (30.6MW) and Cupisnique (81MW) developments are located in the regions of Piura and La Libertad, respectively. Total investment is approximately $250 million. The projects are under construction and will use Vestas 1.8MW turbines.
Commissioning is scheduled for end-2013. Both wind farms have 20-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) under Peru's renewable energy resources (RER) programme.
The Peruvian government is yet to fix a renewables target, but it is pushing wind to help meet power demand, expected to grow 12% annually to 2016.
In its 144MW February 2012 power auction, the government also granted a PPA to the 32MW Marcona wind project, in addition to Talara and Cupisnique.
Since then, it has granted wind prospecting concessions for more than 300MW to Spain's Endesa and Elecnor as well as local developer Energía Renovable Peruana.

I'm certainly not suggesting you run out and buy one, for exactly the reasons Gabriel mentions - but once you get it up and going media altar is the only term that's apropos for the Momitsu. Robert and I decided to overdo it last Christmas and get him one, and he has complained about the device from that point all the way up until last Saturday, when he finally got it going and began lying prostrate before it in supplication.
Let's get the basics communicated:
Actually I think they're made in Taiwan, where it is said many things are made. The interface and user experience is often a glimpse of Pandemonium, and there are many things about the way it works that recall a torture implement devised by an alien mind. Imagine that you turned on your DVD player and got a 404 error - this is what I'm talking about. You would make a sound like Gabriel made and all the glass in your house would break outwards. Downloading a three gig torrent of Arrested Development and then queuing it up with your remote from the couch is actually kind of humbling and (as far as I am concerned) describes an alternate distribution model for television. There are other ways to accomplish this feat, but they involve hooking my machine up to the rest of the edifice or (optimally) going all-out with a Media Center PC - I've just never been able to authorize it. Or get it authorized, perhaps I should say. Mine was a hand-me-down from Robert, who clearly has no problem whatsoever with the lines I just mentioned or indeed any other kind of line.
The "Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards" have just reached the nominee phase, it looks like. Years ago we made a point of refusing any awards that might arise from it, making Smart-Assed cartoons about self-awarding bodies, but in recent years we have just sort of let the things happen with the idea that even if you disagree with the mechanism being rude when someone is nice to you is probably unnecessary.
But seriously - "Penny Arcade" for best Web Design? That's not just nonsense, it's actually insulting and an indictment of that body's power to evaluate stimuli. The "size" of Penny Arcade, such as it is, distorts those awards. I was worried that it would bleed us into the more prestigious award categories as it has in years past, potentially damaging our stature as unsung wanderers - but this year's picks are a pretty diverse bunch, and I'm relieved to see that the destabilizing effect doesn't seem as great. I'm beginning to think that "PA for Oustanding Web Design" is an organized, annual protest designed to reveal those proceedings as a tawdry sham.

To cultivate these carnivorous plants, hold the following 4 advices.
1 - Repotting : as soon as buying, in a large pot fitted with plastic saucer or in a tray with water tank gauged. Do not be afraid by ridicule, it requires a depth of 20 to 40 cm minimum, and as much on the sides, whether for a single plant or four. The repotting is done every four years, renewing only the substrate.
2 - Substrate : only composed of 70% of natural peat moss (certainely not brown peat) without any addition, + 30% sand for aquarium bought in an aquarium store. Thoroughly mix the 2 elements and waterlogged.
3 - Watering : preferably use two kinds of water: rainwater harvested of course in a non-polluted area, or demineralized water (not flavored) which serves to irons steam and batteries. Let dip the base of the pot in 2 to 3 cm of water from the beginning of May to October. For pots with water reserve, place the water level to a quarter of the height gauge. In winter, from November to April, do not let water in the saucer, just keep the soil barely moist: touch it with your index finger, a trace of moisture should remain on the finger. Watering should be done during this period on the top of the substrate.
4 - Light : essential to the growth of carnivorous plants, otherwise you will see your plants being deformed and pass from life to death.
► In springs when the frosts are finished, place them outside on a window sill, balcony, or garden, always in direct sunlight, do not get in during sudden weather changes.
► During winter, in the house put them near the windows at 10 or 15 cm of the glass at the same level as the latter. Temperatures must be between 1 °C and 16 °C, for 2 or 3 months. They can grow well in a conservatory or greenhouse, if the temperatures are respected.
Never do it. Never believe it.
► Never spray the plants with water.
► No fertilizer, they are frugal.
► Do not feed with insects nor with chopped meat. They won't die of hunger, their roots allow them to draw water, and small amounts of minerals contained in the peat. The supplement is made by the catched preys.
► Do not use the ultra fast trap closure of Dionaea as a vegetal gadget. Even if young children are the best audience for these green crunchers, you must inform them about these traps. The jaw-leaf closes only three times, then dies.

Depending on the look you want, we have several options available.
When deciding on which to choose you should start with the question "Do you want to paint the doors?"
If the answer is YES we would recommend you get Tulip wood, it gives a great finish, doesn't show too much wood grain, and knots wont come through.
The inside of the cabinets would then be Oak Veneer, and this is perfect for oiling or varnishing, if you are doing this please see our page with painting advice.
If you want a natural wood finish we recommend our Oak doors & Oak Veneered cabinets. These can be pre-oiled for you or you can do yourself.
We can spray-paint your cabinets and Oil the inside for you in our factory (1 colour as standard, additional colours charged at £100 per colour)
You can choose the custom-colour, we just need a swatch from you showing the colour, and we will use our colour matching service. Please note that the matched colour will be as close as possible from our paint manufacturers and may be a slightly different shade to the swatch due to the finish of the paint.
If you wish to have a test swatch painted & posted to you we can arrange this, but due to the colour matching costs and costs of cleaning all the equipment after this one swatch this costs £100. Please contact us if you require this.
We can also pre-oil the inside of the cabinets for you, so they arrive ready to use.

I've been paying quite a bit of attention to the story of Edward Snowden — the former CIA contractor who leaked classified information to the American public about how the government is spying on us through acronym-laden programs known as "PRISM" and "MUSCULAR". Allow me to be your tour guide as we uncover just a few of the ways in which the NSA has broken the law and spied on American citizens.

By Susan VanZanten Gallagher, SPU Professor of English and Director of the Center for Scholarship and Faculty Development
When Seattle Pacific University's distinguished lecturer, theologian Jürgen Moltmann, referred to "the lark of hope" at this year's Day of Common Learning, I was astonished. With the poetic prompting of Emily Dickinson, I had been thinking about hope in terms of bird imagery for several months.
Dickinson's poetry has long served me as a rich stimulus for spiritual meditation, and in the last few years, I've been composing brief written reflections on individual poems,
paying particular attention to the way in which poetic language and structure push us off the dock of reading and into the lake of meaning. The convergence of Dickinson and Moltmann at a particularly difficult period in my life has given me a new perspective on the life-affirming work of the Holy Spirit.
Dickinson begins poem #314 by using quotation marks to call our attention to the fact that she's going to try to define a profound concept that can only be approximately evoked by the four letters h-o-p-e. After opening with this linguistic symbol, the poem piles up mysterious images of a "thing with feathers" endlessly singing a "tune without the words" while "perching" in the soul. It is only in line 7 that the metaphor is openly identified as a bird, which finally explains those feathers, the perching, and the song.
This concrete image of a little bird,
however, evokes an unsubstantial feeling, a personal experience, a non-physical entity. The verbal image is feathery, not quite solid, like the bird of the Response cover; it pours out pure sound, not recognizable words; and it paradoxically resonates the sweetest in the middle of a howling storm. However, this
little bird, let's call it a lark, has infinite strength and power. It keeps us warm, or alive, despite icy gales and unfamiliar territories. Its song "never stops," doubly emphasized by the dash-bracketed phrase, "at all." The subsequent stanza break adds a third emphasis to the bird's infinite music.

Motorola's flagship Droid RAZR Maxx has been updated and reissued as the Droid RAZR Maxx HD, and the company continues to aim for the iPhone's soft spots.
At the top of the list is battery life. The RAZR Maxx HD claims the same 21 hours of talk time as the prior model. That's an estimated 32 hours of "mixed use," a formula based on a study of how people use their phones. As a very light user, I found it lasted several days without a charge.
The Maxx HD also has the Google goodies that were banished from the iPhone, like Google Maps and Google Talk, and it uses the speedy Google Chrome as its default browser. It also has the latest YouTube app, which you won't find on the iPhone.
While the Maxx HD comes with the Android Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, it will be among the first to upgrade to the Jelly Bean operating system at the end of the year. Jelly Bean will add Google Now, an app that learns how a phone is used and provides alerts based on where the user is and what that person is doing; voice search, which is Google's version of Siri; and actionable notifications, which build in shortcuts for dealing with alerts.
The phone comes with 32 gigabytes of built-in storage, and a slot that will accommodate an additional 32 gigabytes in a microSD card.
The Maxx HD has a slightly faster processor than the older Maxx, at 1.5 gigahertz versus 1.2 gigahertz for the prior phone.
It also has a slightly larger Amoled screen than the old Maxx, 4.7-inch, 720p to the old version's 4.3-inch screen. Video played smoothly, clearly and without interruption.
The main camera is eight-megapixel, with an LED flash; the front-facing camera is a 1.3-megapixel.
It is 4G LTE compatible and works with 3G, 2G and many overseas networks.
It has a comfortable heft and and the Kevlar back is coated with a soft material.
Also unlike the iPhone, it's available only at Verizon, for $300 with a two-year contract.

The IAIS and OECD conducted an online consultation between 17 March and 30 April 2009 on the draft Issues Paper on Corporate Governance . This issues pages provides background on insurer corporate governance, describe practices and identify possible regulatory and supervisory issues.
The issues paper was developed jointly by the IAIS Governance and Compliance Subcommittee and the OECD Insurance and Private Pensions Subcommittee. It takes into consideration the OECD Guidelines on Insurers' Governance and existing work within the IAIS, and is informed by responses to the IAIS-OECD survey and by a joint IAIS-OECD roundtable held in Paris in December 2008 as well as by the supervisory experience of the members of the subcommittee and an summary report on the survey responses.
This issues paper is distinct in having an insurer corporate governance focus and discusses a variety of topics from this perspective. The paper identifies issues relevant in determining if an insurer's governance is sound and appropriate for the nature, scale and complexity of the business and its overall risk profile and relevant in the assessment of whether it is being adequately implemented.
The paper does not aim to present proposals or recommendations – but rather to inform further considerations by the IAIS and the OECD by describing important components of an insurer's corporate governance framework.
IAIS Members and Observers, OECD Member countries and other interested stakeholders were invited to submit comments on this draft issues paper considering the following issues:
The IAIS and OECD is grateful for comments received on the draft issues paper which also provided useful input to future work on insurer's corporate governance within the two organisations.

"I'm living a dream-come-true," says Local 10's Baron James. "I'm absolutely thrilled and grateful to be part of the Local 10 News team and living in this South Florida paradise no less."
Baron spent 10 years at FOX 4 News in Dallas-Fort Worth as a weeknight main anchor/full-time journalist/passionate humanitarian.
He was born in Louisiana and studied pre-med at Xavier University in New Orleans, before wrapping up journalism school at Louisiana Tech University. He put aside his original plans to become an anesthesiologist and landed his first television news job in Monroe, LA.
Baron has shared with viewers many one-on-one chats with a wide-range of public figures, politicians, celebs, humanitarians and his personal favorites -- ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
He was on the ground as authorities searched for answers, after the Space Shuttle Columbia exploded in the sky over North Texas killing all the astronauts on board.
And he's quite familiar with weather coverage -- from tornadoes to snow and ice and hurricanes along the Louisiana and Texas coastlines.
But he also has a lover for telling the good news stories. Stories like that of a 90-year-old woman, Miss Anna Seals, who was living in squalor rat and roach infested housing, getting limited assistance, until he and his news team were able to improve Miss Anna's living situation and that of so many other seniors.
"I thank God I'm at Local 10 news to work my tail off for you," Baron says. "My philosophy is that news should be informative and balanced -- not all bad news -- but good news too, more of a true reflection of the lives we live or aspire to live."
Baron says that one of the greatest and most fulfilling ways he knows of to connect our lives and experiences is through helping others -- volunteering, community service.
He has volunteered his time to help many organizations, including Educational First Steps (helping underprivileged kids get the resources they need to learn); Contact Crisis Line, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS); SPCA; The Mayor's Summer Reading Program and Toys4Tots.
"I also hope to see and meet you as I passionately volunteer my energy, heart and hands with charitable and other non-profit groups to serve our many diverse communities here in South Florida," Baron says.

Little Theatre's 75th celebration muted by arrest
Little Theatre of the Rockies celebrated its 75th anniversary season on Friday with the announcement of the Tom McNally Scholarship, a special performance of "The Sunshine Boys" and a barroom remembrance for late actor David Richards.
But the festivities were significantly dampened by the explosive news earlier in the day that longtime University of Northern Colorado professor of theater Vance Fulkerson had been arrested on the felony charge of sexual exploitation of children; as well as misdemeanor charges of unlawful sexual contact, and suspicion of marijuana possession.
Here is our slideshow from Friday's festivities:
Little Theatre is the university's professional summer-stock theater program – at 75, the oldest theater company in the state of Colorado. To catch up on all three of these stories:
*Our report on LTR, Colorado's oldest theater company: click here
*Our report on the death of actor David Richards: click here
*Our report on the arrest of Vance Fulkerson: click here
The event drew dozens of current students and alumni from many different eras, including actors Deborah Curtis; John Jankow; Megan Van De Hey (who was just up for two Colorado Theatre Guild Henry Awards); and the spousal team of Michael Stricker and Barbra Andrews from Denver's "best season"-nominated Paragon Theatre.
Allison Vasquez, who recently became the first member of her Texas family to graduate college, thanked McNally for encouraging her to go on to grad school. "I never would have considered it if you hadn't brought it up," she said.
Much-honored Denver actor Bill Hahn (Curious' "Frozen") said McNally taught him how to approach acting with no fear of falling. Marketing executive Catherine Worster Freeland said she applies lessons McNally taught her about acting every day in her career as a marketing executive.
An emotional McNally said he'd remember the day forever. Directing and occasional acting are meaningful to him, "but for me, teaching … that's where it is," he said. "That's what counts."
"The Sunshine Boys" is a special event on the Little Theatre's 75th anniversary season. It features Tom McNally and his real-life brother, Dan McNally, starring in the Neil Simon comedy about a pair of acrimonious old vaudevillian stars reuniting one last time. It plays through Sunday, July 5.
In about a week, we'll post a video podcast with highlights from the events of the day. Keep an eye on www.denverpost.com/theater for that.
As for Fulkerson's arrest … Anyone in Greeley with an official connection to the university was under a gag order from the provost not to speak about it.
But Gillian McNally, in announcing the scholarship to be named for her father, acknowledged that the theater family at UNC now finds itself at a crossroads. "But we face these obstacles together as one theater family," she said.
"In great shock, tonight we feel anger, shame, sorrow about the events surrounding one of our longtime colleagues. But this is not who we are. This is not what we are about. … Tonight we come together as a family to celebrate 75 years of great theatermaking."
Police believe Fulkerson was using a hidden camera in a guest bathroom at his home. And it was clear that may only be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the case Weld County is building against him.
As the news settled in, so too did the realization of the potential devastating ramifications to the theater department, and to the university itself, should the charges prove true.
And yet, of all the emotions that were expressed Friday, both in Greeley and on the internet from hundreds of UNC graduates weighing in from Los Angeles to New York, "surprise" was clearly not one of them.
Should this turn into one of those sexual-misconduct cases where past and present students step forward in large numbers with allegations of inappropriate contact from throughout Fulkerson's 20 years at the college, then the potential litigation could be devastating to the entire UNC theater family, not to mention its effect on future enrollment.
This is one sad story that may take years to fully play out. And the timing couldn't have been worse for a party that was 75 years in the making.

I think I've mentioned in the past that I have a soft spot for Daman Products Co. Inc., Mishawaka, Ind. Not because I think the company is any better than others out there—it's because a trip out there was my first company visit when I first joined Hydraulics & Pneumatics nearly seven years ago. So whenever I see news from Daman, I try to share it.
The first story from Daman is also another item I am pretty passionate about—education. Once again, the manufacturer of manifolds will be sponsoring a Fluid Power Challenge from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on December 2, at Notre Dame's Stepan Center. The competition, which was developed by the NFPA Education and Technology Foundation, challenges 16-20 teams of four from each of South Bend's Junior High Schools to solve an engineering problem using fluid power. They work in teams to design and build a fluid power mechanism capable of solving the work related task. The competition focuses on developing mechanical and fluid power skills. The teams will have a finite amount of time on competition day to reconstruct their machines from a new set of materials and compete. The goals are established to encourage students to select more engineering courses in their high school curricula and to keep their options open for technology-based post-secondary studies.
I've written about the Fluid Power Challenge numerous times in the past; someday, I hope to see one live in action, but regardless, I think it is critical to start engaging young students in fluid power as early as possible. I'm glad to see Daman is doing it for at least the second year that I know of.
The other news from Daman comes about an invention employees there created to reduce worker injuries when it comes to torquing vises used in machining fluid power control parts. A team developed a pneumatic torque multiplier, or angled nut runner, to automatically torque vises, replacing a manual operation that led to a number of repetitive motion injuries.
Not only does it protect workers but the tool offers better load control, preventing over-torque damage to vises and shifting of machined work pieces in vises without adequate torque. The company plans to add one of the tools to all of its work cells in 2012. Daman's Creative Team, which is charged with building new products, is currently looking at the multiplier tool as a possible product to bring to market.
Visit Daman's website and click on "Latest News" to read a complete press release about the device and its implications as well as see some photos of it in use.

Get Off Your Knees: The John Robinson Story
Born a congenital amputee, John Robinson has no hands. His arms stop at his elbows. His lower legs are attached to his hips without knees. He is 3'9'' tall. As a child, John's parents had many worries: Would he be able to go to school? Could he hold a pencil? Could he ever support himself?
Yet, through his remarkable tenacity, talent and faith, John has succeeded in business and in building a family in a way that few may have expected from the outset. In this documentary from WMHT, we get to know a man who has made his way in a world not designed for those without the dexterity of typical arms and legs--a man who has gone on to lead what many would consider an ordinary life. Yet this ordinary life is actually extraordinary when one witnesses the determination required for John to do that which others take for granted, from driving a car to playing a round of golf.
People with disabilities are the nation's most vulnerable demographic, and the obstacles they face in everyday life can seem overwhelming. John's inspirational story teaches those of us with and without disabilities that, with the aid of a strong education and a few caring individuals, we can achieve that which may initially seem impossible.

A 48-year-old Glendale man was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of beating his aunt with a broken table leg after an argument, police said.
Pogo Gurushyan was allegedly drunk and had dried blood on his face when officers approached him at 3:29 p.m. about the alleged assault, according to Glendale Police Department reports.
The back of his aunt's head was covered in blood — an injury, she told police, that was the result of allegedly being repeatedly assaulted by her nephew.
The alleged assault began after they had lunch and coffee and then started arguing over an unspecified issue, according to police. While she was seated, she recalled her nephew suddenly approach and allegedly punch her in the face, police said.
She tried to fight back, but she claimed he broke a wooden table and used one of its legs to hit her several times, police said.
She suffered five wounds to her head and a cut on her left middle finger. Her right eye was bleeding and swollen shut, police said.
Gurushyan was taken into custody on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse, police said.
Soon after, police found the table legs, which were smeared with dried blood.

Shared experience knits friends together
Staff writer
As country neighbors, Myrna Hamm and Jeanne Rziha of rural Durham, have shared many experiences. With almost a dozen children between them, husbands that farm, the same home church, and jobs that overlap at Greenhaw Pharmacy downtown Hillsboro, Hamm and Rziha have a lot to discuss when they get together.
As Hamm was re-teaching Rziha how to cast-on knitting needles while picking up medical folders, they had a chance to reminisce about an experience they shared 25 years ago that changed their lives forever.
"It was one of those days I will remember forever," Hamm said. "The weather was cloudy and cold, kind of like early May this year. I was pregnant with my second child, and I knew I was in trouble as we headed to the hospital."
Hamm and her husband, James, called ahead to Salem Hospital (now known as Hillsboro Community Hospital) to let the emergency room know that she was in labor, even though it was almost two months until her due date.
"I had just started working at the hospital and was not even certified for emergency room work yet," Rziha said. "I put a call in to the person in charge of obstetrics but did not get an answer. I was the only one there and I started praying right away as soon as I heard Myrna was coming in."
Rziha worked as an OBGYN at Herington Hospital prior to joining the Salem staff, but she was nervous about the situation at hand. Hamm, however, said God put her friend right where she needed her that night so many years ago.
"I was so glad to see Jeanne when we got there about 8:40 p.m.," Hamm said. "I was so scared, but we both started praying Hail Mary's together and hoped for the best."
Hamm's six-week premature baby boy, Lucas, was born on May 2, only 11 minutes after she and her husband got into the emergency room at the hospital.
"He was having trouble breathing so we put oxygen on him right away," Rziha said. "He was alive, and strong considering how early he was, just not quite ready to be out in the world."
Hamm said her baby boy was long and skinny, so thin around the chest that she could put her thumb down on one side and touch her middle finger to the bed on the other.
"We Life Watched him to Wichita because he needed neo-natal care," Hamm said. "With Jeanne beside me, I knew it would all turn out all right."
From a small start at 5 lbs., 8 ounces, Hamm's son Lucas grew up under the watchful eyes of his parents as well as concerned neighbor, nurse, and friend Rziha.
"I was his 4-H leader and taught him in religion class at the Catholic Church in Tampa," Rziha said. "I am just glad God heard our prayers when he was born."
Hamm and Rziha see each other at least two or three times each week, but when Mother's Day rolls around each year, their thoughts often turn to that early May day 25 years ago when they worked together to bring a child into the world and keep him alive.
"He turned out to be a very solid baby," Hamm said. "I fed him for the first time the day before Mother's Day, and brought him home after 13 days in the hospital, which was the day before my birthday. Now he is six feet, three inches tall and weighs over 200 pounds."
Lucas went on to play fullback on the Kansas State University football team in 2009 and 2010, but now lives in Marion County and farms with his father and grandfather. He also works at Mid-Kansas Cooperative in Abilene.
Hamm works as billing secretary for Greenhaw Pharmacy, and Rziha is the coordinator for Greenhaw's wellness clinic.

I was taught that shaddah means the letter is doubled; the first "letter is sakin, the second has it's particular..
BarakAllaahu fikum for your informative and enlightening answer to my last question. This question is related in a way and concerns a letter with fat-hah followed by a yaa with shaddah.
I was taught that shaddah means the letter is doubled; the first "letter is sakin, the second has it's particular vowel mark (fat-hah, dhammah, kesrah), (well, except when the letter with sheddah is stopped at...) for example in Allaah Ta'ala's Glorious Names "AL-HAYYu-AL-QAYYUM - Al-HAYY is read as HAA with fat-hah, YAA sekoon, YAA with dhammeh and Qayyum is read as QAF with fat-hah, YAA sekoon, YAA with dhammeh. Is this correct? Do we have then the same sound as words that have MED LEEN i.e KHAIR or `ALAYHIM or BAYNA? Is it the same type of sound but technically it should not be referred to as med leen? I ask because I help a sister with Tajweed on Ayaat-ul-Kursi and I ask her to show me different examples of certain Tajweed rules in the Ayaat and I explained this to her as MED LEEN. God forgive me if I am wrong and speaking about this without the sure knowledge. insha'Allaah can you clarify for me so that I can point out my mistake to the sister. Allaah yezeedik khayr.
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
The shaddah does indeed mean doubled, the first saakin the second with the vowel on the shaddah, but the rules that apply to the letter when influenced by the letter before may change with a shaddah. In the case of the wordswe have a with a shaddah, preceded by a fat-hah. This is not . is when there is a or saakinah preceded by a fat-hah and followed by only one letter which is voweled, and we are stopping on that word with a temporary sukoon, such as last word in the following aayah: . is lengthened two, four, or six vowel counts. Please see the following link for more details: http://www.abouttajweed.com/al-mudood_part_7_medd_'aaridh_leen.htm ; you will need to scroll down half the page to read about .
What you most likely meant is that you suggested to the sister that it was a leen letter. A leen letter is when there is a or saakinah preceded by a fat-hah and not followed by a sukoon. The leen letter is lengthened less than two vowel counts but more than one vowel count.
What we have in the words is a need for a , or accent to make the shaddah on the clear and to prevent us from lengthening the fat-hah on the letter preceding the . We do not lengthen these words and similar types of words the normal length of a leen letter, if we did, the shaddah would not be clear. Please see the following link for a detailed explanation of the and its different conditions: http://www.abouttajweed.com/new_page_7.htm The second case (in the first of the two links on the accent or ) explains the same conditions as are present in the words .
Al-hamdu lillah that you have such a strong desire to present correct knowledge to the sisters you are helping, may Allah increase you in beneficial knowledge.
Wa assalaam alaikum.
