Has your doctor suggested some diagnostic tests for you? If you're having symptoms that are hard to explain, diagnostic imaging is often the best way for physicians to determine the cause. Some tests can also be valuable for routine screening. Depending on what exam you are going to have, you may be nervous. You may wonder what to expect.
Here are the basics for the most common diagnostic tests.
· X-ray: An x-ray is a noninvasive test that uses a small amount of radiation to enable physicians to study the inside of your body. X-rays are used to look at bones, joints, the heart and lungs, and other organs. They can also detect the presence of foreign objects. X-rays are useful for reviewing your upper and lower GI tract. For these tests, radiologists will also use a contrast agent to help them better view the areas in question. You will either drink this liquid or have it injected in your body. Most x-rays are completely painless. They can range from 15 minutes to longer than an hour, depending on the specific procedure.
· CT scan: During a computerized tomography (CT) scan, x-rays are used to take cross-sectional views of your body, providing more detail than traditional x-rays can. These scans are often used to look at organs, tissues, and bones. Most CT scans take about 15 minutes and are painless. They can help radiologists detect tumors, look at skeletal issues, and guide biopsies. Sometimes a contrast agent will be needed.
· Ultrasound: This test uses sound waves to review your organs and tissues. It is done in real time, which helps radiologists study the motion of fluid in your blood vessels. You might need an ultrasound to monitor the growth of a baby, review heart function, or assess plaque buildup. The procedure is painless and usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. Depending on your situation, you may need to fast before the test or you may need a full bladder.
· MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses magnetic waves to create two- and three-dimensional images of your body. MRIs are often used to look at internal injuries, detect tumors, check for disease, or determine if treatments are working. An MRI can take an hour or longer, and you need to lie perfectly still, so some patients are offered sedatives before the test begins. You also may need to fast before the test.
· Mammogram: This test uses a low dose of radiation to screen women for breast cancer. Before the test, you will be advised not to wear perfume, powder, or antiperspirant. The test itself requires that each breast be compressed twice, for a total of four images. Some women report that the test can be uncomfortable, but it is usually quick.
· Bone density testing: One of the best bone density tests is duel-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), which uses x-rays to review the health of your bones. The test is painless and usually takes about 15 or 20 minutes.
· Nuclear medicine: This is a branch of medical imaging that helps diagnose heart disease, certain cancers, and many other conditions. It uses small amounts of radioactive material to help physicians review the inside of your body. In some cases, you may need an IV or a catheter. You may feel uncomfortable when those are inserted, but otherwise, the test is painless.
Before undergoing any of these tests, you will be given instructions about any restrictions or directions you should follow. Be sure to tell your physician if you are pregnant or could be pregnant.
At Denton Regional Medical Center, we offer a wide range of diagnostic imaging tests, including x-rays, CT scans, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. Most of these services, as well as DEXA screening, are also available at Mayhill Diagnostic, our outpatient imaging center. Mammography services are offered through our partners at Solis Women's Health.

Style: Lexie Sport
Well, GLORY! Women's sportswear doesn't have to be all pink and lilac. Finally, some brands are getting it. There are some new kids on the block with their ear to the street of what women really want from their active wear and Lexie Sport is definitely one of them.
Launched in 2012, they've already caught the eye of the likes of Drapers and Vogue. I'm diggin' their use of graphics and angular design. I also like the way they shoot their product – it's gritty and real and has women running in urban environments at night or boxing. To me, that just resonates more than some more traditional sportswear shoots.
I quite like their grey and black colour palettes but it'll be interesting to see how they work more vibrant colour into their design.
Definitely a brand to watch.
What do you think of the Lexie Sport look?

The Most Unusual Smartphone Add-Ons
Most people simply rely on apps to expand the utility and capabilties of their smartphone. But there are certain tasks that require specific hardware add-ons, like medical monitoring or even something as chilling as radiation monitoring. Check out these unusual smartphones and accessories that can make your smartphone that much smarter...
1. The Radiation-Detecting Case by DoCoMo: In post-Fukushima Japan, it makes sense to be able to detect the ambient radiation level, allowing you to ensure that you're never exposed to much radiation. DoCoMo has also developed cases that allow the measurements of ultraviolet rays and body fat percentages.
2. iDevice Blood Pressure Monitor: Heart rate monitors for smartphones are about a dime a dozen, but this device from Withings allows you to check your blood pressure. It's compatible with a host of different iOS devices and will be available soon.
3. BlackBerry 9980 Limited Edition: This BlackBerry popped up on a Chinese website, so it hasn't yet been established if it's really the 9980, but it sure looks like the BalckBerry from the future.
5. Smart Baby Monitor: This is also from Withings and it's compatible with your iPhone. It allows you to monitor your baby, from basically anywhere. The product is supposed to be released this Autumn.

PRINCESS 1 – Oldest Princess
PRINCESS 12 – Youngest Princess
CROWD: Prince 1 to 12 – no dialogues
(The Twelve Princesses are dancing in their bedroom. The King opens the door and enters. He has a key in his hand)
KING: Good evening my dear princesses.
TWELVE PRINCESSES: Good evening, father.
KING: It time to go to bed.
TWELVE PRINCESSES: (running to their beds) Yes, father.
KING: Oh, and don't forget to say your prayers.
TWELVE PRINCESSES: (kneeling down) No, father.
PRINCESS 1: Father, why do you always have to lock up our door?.
KING: My dear, I love all so much, that all I want is to keep you safe.
TWELVE PRINCESSES: We love you too!.
KING: (raising his hand and showing them the key) Sweet dreams my precious daughters.
TWELVE PRINCESSES: Sweet dreams, father.
(The king leaves. The princesses yell happily and start dancing again)
PRINCESS 2: Hurry up!. We have to go!.
TWELVE PRINCESSES: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
PRINCESS 3: Put on your shoes!. It's time to dance all night!.
(They put on their shoes)
TWELVE PRINCESSES: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
(Princess 4 pulls away her bed from the wall, they enter a secret door, and walk through a long hall)
(The King is talking to a servant)
SERVANT: What is worrying you, my king?.
KING: It's my daughters' shoes!.
SERVANT: Oh, I know my king. Shoes are so expensive!.
KING: It's not that. They are having every day a new pair of shoes, and that is not possible.
SERVANT: Well, at night they are locked up in their room, so they can't go anywhere.
KING: They are hiding something!. And I know that tomorrow morning when I go into my daughters' bedroom, their shoes will be all thorn to pieces as tough they had been dancing all night. I can't imagine how their shoes are all full of holes!.
SERVANT: It is a great mystery. How are you going to figure it out?.
KING: I will issue a proclamation. Go and tell all the land, that any one who can discover in three days and nights how the princesses shoes are danced to pieces in the night, may have one of the princesses of his choice for marriage, and will be king after my death.
SERVANT: What if many come, but no one succeeds?.
KING: The witch from the forest will turn them into frogs!.
SERVANT: Tomorrow morning I will do as you told me. Good night my king.
(The Servant leaves)
(A Soldier wearing a bandage in his arm is reading the proclamation nailed to a tree. He sits on a stone, and starts to eat a piece of bread. An Old Woman wearing a cloak approaches him)
OLD WOMAN: (looks at the soldier's arm) What happened to you?.
SOLDIER: I was in the army, but was discharged because I was wounded, and I can no longer serve.
OLD WOMAN: Where are you going?.
SOLDIER: I don't know where I am going, or what am I going to do, but I think I would like to find out where it is that the princesses dance, and then in time I might be a king! .
OLD WOMAN: Well, that is not a very hard task. I am going to tell you the secret. When the princesses go to sleep, they will offer you wine, but don't drink it, because it will put you right to sleep and you will never discover anything.
SOLDIER: That is a very good advice.
OLD WOMAN: (takes off her cloak and gives it to the soldier) Whenever you wear this cloak, you will be invisible, and then you may discover things that are not seen.
SOLDIER: What should I do?.
OLD WOMAN: When you put it on, just follow the princesses wherever they go.
SOLDIER: I am determined to try my luck. Thank you.
OLD WOMAN: Now go to see the king!.
(The soldier stands and leaves)
(The King is in his throne. The soldier is before him)
KING: I am glad to have you in my palace. I imagine why are you here.
SOLDIER: I came to solve the mystery.
KING: Come with me. I'll take you to a room next to my daughter's bedroom, and I hope to have good news tomorrow morning.
(They go to the princesses' bedroom. Each of the princesses is reading a book. The King and the Soldier enter)
PRINCESS 5: (stands and leaves the book on her bed) Another one, father?.
PRINCESS 6: (kisses the king on his cheek) You have to trust us!.
KING: (to the soldier) As you can see, these are my beautiful daughters, and you will marry one of them, if you find out how their shoes are all worn out. (to the princess) I will not lock up the room tonight, but he will be watching you. Sweet dreams!.
TWELVE PRINCESSES: Sweet dreams!.
(The King and the Soldier go to another room.)
KING: You will stay here, and I'll see you tomorrow.
(The King leaves the room. Princess 7 enters)
PRINCESS 7: (gives a cup of wine to the soldier) I brought you a cup wine. It will help you to relax
SOLDIER: (takes the cup) You are very kind. (pointing with his finger ) Oh, what's that behind you?
(Princess 7 turns around, while the soldier throws the wine behind his back)
PRINCESS 7: Where?.
SOLDIER: Never mind, it was nothing. Mmm, the wine was excellent!.
PRINCESS 7: I'm glad you liked it!.
SOLDIER: (yawning) I'm so tired! (he lays on his bed, closes his eyes, and starts to snore)
(Princess 8 enters)
PRINCESS 8: How is he?.
PRINCESS 7: He's fast asleep!.
(Princess 9 enters)
PRINCESS 9: Poor man!. Or should I say poor slimy frog?.
PRINCESS 7, 8, AND 9: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
(Princess 10 , 11 and 12 enter)
PRINCESS 10: Come on!. We have to go!.
PRINCESS 11: I am eager to dance!.
PRINCESS 12: I don't know why it is, but while you are so happy I feel very uneasy. I am sure something bad will happen tonight.
(Princess 1 and 2 enter)
PRINCESS 1: You are always afraid! Have you forgotten how many kings' sons have already watched in vain?. And as for this soldier, even if we had not given him wine, he would have slept soundly enough.
PRINCESS 2: We are safe now.
(Princess 1,2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 leave the room, and go to their room. The Soldier stands up, puts on the cloak, and follows the princesses to their room. They can't see him.)
PRINCESS 3: Ready?.
PRINCESS 4: Let's go!.
PRINCESS 5: Put on your shoes! .
PRINCESS 6: It's time to dance all night!.
(they put on their shoes)
TWELVE PRINCESSES: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
(Princess 4 pulls away her bed from the wall, and they enter a secret door.)
(The Princesses are in a long hall walking in a single line. The first one is Princess 1 , and the last one is Princess 12. The Soldier follows them. They keep walking, and the soldier steps on the dress of Princess 12.)
PRINCESS 12: (alarmed) Ouch!. Someone has caught my dress!.
PRINCESS 11: (turns around) Who?.
PRINCESS 10: (turns around) There's no one here!.
PRINCESS 1: (in a boring voice) You silly creature!. You caught it on a nail, let's just keep going.
(They keep walking into a grove of glittering silver trees. The soldier breaks a branch of the tree making a loud noise, and hides it under his cloak).
PRINCESS 12: (shaking) What was that noise?. That never happened before!.
PRINCESS 1: It is only our princes, who are shouting for joy at our approach.
(They keep walking into a grove of shimmering gold trees. The soldier breaks a branch of the tree making a loud noise, and hides it under his cloak)
PRINCESS 12: (shaking) What was that?. Is someone following us?.
PRINCESS 1: It's only our princes.
(They keep walking into a grove of glittering diamond trees. The soldier breaks a branch of the tree making a loud noise, and hides it under his cloak)
PRINCESS 12: (shaking) What was that?. I'm scared!.
PRINCESS 1: Will you get ahold of yourself. It is only the princes, who are crying for joy.
(They keep walking and reach a lake. There are twelve little boats with twelve handsome princes in them. One of the princesses gets into each boat. The soldier steps into the same boat as Princess 12. The prince starts to row)
PRINCE: The boat is heavier today. Something happened.
PRINCESS 12: Well, it's not me. It must be the heat. It is very hot today!.
PRINCE: Shhh can you hear the music?.
PRINCESS 12: What a sweet melody. I want to dance, and dance, and dance all night!.
(They arrive to the castle. The other princesses and princes are waiting for them. They get off the boat, and each prince dances with his princess. The soldier dances with them too).
PRINCESS 2: (yelling) It's three o'clock in the morning!.
TWELVE PRINCESSES: And all our shoes are worn out!.
PRINCESS 3: We must leave!.
(They get on the boats. The soldier places himself in the boat with Princess 1. The Twelve Princesses wave good-bye to the princess)
TWELVE PRINCESSES: We promise to come again tomorrow night!.
(The princesses start to row back. When they get to their bedroom the soldier runs on before the princesses, he takes off his cloak and puts it beneath his pillow, and lays down on his bed. The princesses approach him and hear him snoring)
TWELVE PRINCESSES: Now all is quite safe!.
(They go to their bedroom, take off their shoes, and go to bed)
(The Princesses are talking to each other. The King and the Soldier enter. The Princesses get in a straight line and bow)
TWELVE PRINCESSES: Good morning, father.
KING: Good morning, my dear princesses. (to the soldier) Now tell me young man, why my princesses shoes are ruined every night as though they had been danced to pieces.
PRINCESS 1: Father, please, you're exaggerating.
KING: (to the soldier) Do you know where my princesses go every night?.
SOLDIER: Sure I know. There is an underground palace, where your princesses dance every night, with twelve enchanting princess who must remain there because they are under an enchantment, and the princesses go down and keep them company every night until three o'clock in the morning.
TWELVE PRINCESSES: (surprised) Oh no!.
KING: (to the princesses) Is it true?.
TWELVE PRINCESSES: (ashamed) Yes, father, it is true.
PRINCESS 4: There is no point in lying.
KING: (to the soldier) Do you have proof of that underground palace?.
SOLDIER: Yes, I have.
(The soldier takes out from his jacket a silver twig, a gold twig, and a diamond twig, and gives them to the king. The king takes the three branches)
KING: Can someone give me an explanation?.
PRINCESS 5: We like to dance in that beautiful and enchanted palace.
PRINCESS 6: It's like a dream come true!.
KING: What is wrong with this palace where you live in?.
SOLDIER: You have to trust your daughters, and give them freedom, instead of locking them every night like birds in a cage.
KING: (to the soldier) I just wanted to keep them safe. (to the twelve princesses) Your mother always knew what to do. It hasn't been easy for me to take care of you, and know what is best for you. Please forgive me.
(The twelve princesses kiss the king)
PRINCESS 7: We love you!.
PRINCESS 8: You have been a great father to us!
KING: I'm so happy! (to the soldier) Very good soldier, it seems like you solved the mystery. My dear young man, you may choose the hand of one of my daughters in marriage. Which would you take?.
SOLDIER: All your daughters are very pretty, and I am no longer a young boy, give me the eldest in marriage.
TWELVE PRINCESSES: Oh.
SOLDIER: I fell in love with her the minute I saw her, and to me, she is the most beautiful of all.
KING: Fine! .
SOLDIER: But wait. It's not only my decision, she has to approve. (to Princess 12) What do you say? Do you love me too? Do you want to be my wife?.
ELEVEN PRINCESSES: Say yes!. Say yes!.
PRINCESS 8: Come on!.
(Princess 1 approaches the soldier)
PRINCESS 1: I will marry you.
PRINCESSES 1 to 11: Yes!.
PRINCESS 1: With one condition.
SOLDIER: What is it?.
PRINCESS 1: How did you find out about our secret place?.
SOLDIER: Now you see me. (puts on the cloak) Now you don't!.
TWELVE PRINCESSES: (surprised) Oh!.
(The soldier takes off the cloak. Princess 1 approaches him)
PRINCESS 1: So you followed us, and we could not see you.
SOLDIER: Yes. This cloak makes me invisible.
PRINCESS 1: Where did you get it?.
SOLDIER: An old woman gave it to me.
PRINCESS 1: She was not an old woman. She's was witch!.
SOLDIER: To me, she was my fairy godmother!.
PRINCESS 1: I love you. And I will marry you.
PRINCESSES 1 to 11: Yes!.

An elementary school teacher in Kitsap County has been charged with three counts of felony voyeurism.
An investigation turned up more than 1,000 photographs, including some of young girls.
The Kitsap Sun reports that authorities talked to Sean Steven Johnson, 44, after reports that someone was taking inappropriate photographs at the Kitsap County Fair on Aug. 26.
Johnson is on paid administrative leave from the Central Kitsap School District, where he had most recently been a teacher at Cougar Valley Elementary.
The Sun reports:
When deputies searched the camera after obtaining a court-issued warrant, they found nearly 1,200 pictures of females as young as 11 and as old as in their 40s. They included pictures taken "under tables, under bleachers and down their shirt," court documents said.
And one more note from The Sun:
Sheriff's detectives are still investigating the case. They ask that anyone who feels they have additional information pertaining to the case call Kitsap County Sheriff's Detective Aaron Baker at 360-337-5611.

By Caitlin Mack '12(T5)
Univ. Communications
Last August, Alykhan Alani '12 (T5) joined the newly-established adolescent health care team at Anthony Jordan's Woodward Health Center to address the increasing need for care among youth ages 10 to 19 in Rochester's Southwest quadrant—an initiative that Alani is helping to spearhead through research and outreach efforts.
"We're looking to the existing literature and conducting our own research to determine the specific health care needs and barriers to care for youth who live or attend school in the Southwest quadrant," says Alani. "The goal is to better implement and market services we already offer, and expand our efforts where the need in the community is currently unmet."
According to a 2011 youth risk behavior survey commissioned by the Rochester City School District, the number of students who regularly saw a primary care provider was around 69 percent. "The importance of preventative primary care for adolescents and their families cannot be overstated," Alani explains. "What makes Woodward an integral and unique member of this community is that we are committed to meeting our patients' needs regardless of their ability to pay."
Alani is one of six fellows currently participating in Rochester Youth Year (RYY), an AmeriCorps VISTA-sponsored program that places recent graduates in community-based organizations for one year to create or expand initiatives addressing various challenges facing youth and families in Rochester. Graduates of Rochester Regional Network colleges, a consortium of seven institutions of higher education in the Rochester-area, are invited to apply to the program, which is based at the Rochester Center for Community Leadership (RCCL) at the University of Rochester.
Through the RYY program, Alani works alongside primary care providers at Woodward to analyze the health needs of youth residing in the 19th Ward and Plymouth-Exchange neighborhoods and build capacity for the implementation of youth programs and services there. Beyond meeting patients' needs in a clinical setting, Alani also helps link youth to a variety of services, including HSE (high school equivalency) prep, tutoring and afterschool programs, access to food pantries, temporary housing, and conflict resolution workshops.
"Affordable, quality health care is a real need just about everywhere, but especially in this community," says Alani. "Socio-economic status has profound implications for health and longevity. While we work in a dynamic and vibrant community, we must remain cognizant of the economic marginalization this community has, and continues to endure."
Alani also conducts ethnographic research that seeks to understand and address non-biological determinants of health. "While we need to meet the immediate need for healthcare in our community, this effort cannot be divorced from the on-going struggle for economic, social, and environmental justice," he explains. "When we begin to conceptualize interpersonal violence, addiction, housing and food insecurity, interpersonal and institutional racism, and even residential and business zoning as public health issues that affect our collective welfare, we're confronted with an opportunity to address these challenges in unique and meaningful ways. Social determinants of health are often circumstantially or environmentally imposed on people–mitigating them requires us to continually chip-away at structural inequalities by not only interrogating the ways power and privilege operate in our own lives but also seeking to engage these structures at the institutional and policy-making levels."
Alani also was brought on to strengthen the health center's relationship with various youth-oriented community organizations operating in the Southwest quadrant, such as the M.K Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence, Teen Empowerment, Rochester Youth Outreach, the Boys and Girls club, schools such as Wilson Commencement Academy and School 29, recreation centers, and faith-based institutions. He conducts focus groups with staff, volunteers, and youth from these partner organizations to ascertain their perspective on healthcare and facilitates the establishment of referral and enrollment networks.
Alani's passion for community health and desire to live and work in Rochester after graduation was sparked the summer after his sophomore year while working at Anthony Jordan Health Center on Hudson Avenue as part of Rochester's Urban Fellows Program. "That was my first experience with on-the-ground community health work, which fueled my desire to explore career opportunities within Rochester's nonprofit sector," he says.
Alani has maintained ties to Rochester's public health program through his efforts at Woodward, hosting undergraduate research interns Alyssa Teck '15 in the fall and Jenna Kole '14 in the spring. Both were enrolled in Dr. Nancy Chin's community engagement class.
"I firmly believe that service-learning initiatives allow students to have an engaging and meaningful experience with the Rochester community beyond shopping and nightlife. It can really change one's perspective on this city," he says. "Investing institutional resources into service learning programs and expanding the role of campus institutions like the Rochester Center for Community Leadership and University-affiliated partners like the Gandhi Institute is vital to fully realizing not only our commitment to Rochester, but our cherished and sanguine motto, Meliora."
Last year, Alani completed a Take 5 project studying social capital and community development, which solidified his interests in grassroots and community organizing and non-profit work. He graduated last May with a bachelor's in international health and society and minors in gender and women's studies and religion.

You are here: Home » Rescue Procedures » Company Voluntary Arrangements » Explained
Company Voluntary Arrangements can seem complex, but they are really quite straightforward, below are CVAs explained.
There is legislation that enables a company to make a private arrangement with all its unsecured creditors. The Company Voluntary Agreement procedure was introduced by the Insolvency Act 1986 "IA86" and is simply a formal mechanism which permits a company, which has debt problems, to reach a compromise with its creditors on the repayment of its debt.
Imagine if your company could
Well a Company Voluntary Agreement could allow your company to do this.
The CVA can be tailored to suit the company's and creditors' needs. It could involve a five year payment plan or a full and final settlement in the form of a lump sum to creditors or a combination of the two.
The Company Voluntary Agreement avoids the need for liquidation, can save jobs and investments. A further advantage is that the Supervisor is not required to investigate the directors' conduct nor submit reports to the Dti as in liquidation. However, if the directors' conduct has been severely lacking, the Supervisor will need to advise creditors of this and this could effect creditors desire to support the CVA.
The options for a financially distressed business need to be very carefully considered. If you need more information on Comapny Voluntary Agreements then simply forward your details on our Contact Form and we will contact you. Alternatively ring us on our FREEPHONE ADVICE LINE 0800 781 0990.

Quite frankly, even if it goes your way, your career continues in much the same way as the day before.
That, by the way, is a good thing. Administration, congress, initiatives, and economy not-withstanding, you are still very much in an
Economy of One.
The old administration didn't really help or hurt your career - the new administration won't either. Those who get hired into cabinet positions not-withstanding ;)
One of the question in my
books' chapter on self-assessment (
Chapter 5 - Self-assessment) is how you, if asked by your boss how you might be able to improve your job's performance, would answer.
The self-assessment part revolved around whether your answer would involved mostly external factors (the economy, my co-workers, the company's policies, etc.) or whether improvement would involve self-improvement (better time management, more diligence in maintaining organization, more self-directed training and study, etc.).
I think we are in big trouble if we hitch our wagon to the "next" political movement as a career development strategy.
Seriously, are there those of you out there who believe that this election will, one way or another, dramatically alter your Economy of One?

Note from the OCA editorial staff: TAKE ACTION in support of Maine's organic dairy farmers.
Stonyfield Farm and HP Hood ignore their organic family farmers request to be paid a fair price for their milk; some of their farmers head into bankruptcy
Deerfield, MA: What is more important to Stonyfield Farm and HP Hood, market share or the health and welfare of their organic family farmers?
If you ask 24 year old Mark Ouellette, Jr., who supplies organic milk to HP Hood that is sold under the Stonyfield label, his answer is very clear: "market share." "I'm losing up to $.60 per gallon producing milk for the Stonyfield brand. I've used up my line of credit, I'm close to maxing out my credit card because of spiraling feed and fuel costs." he added, "Last fall, I and many other organic farmers told both Stonyfield and HP Hood what was happening and we were given a 3 cent per gallon increase. Now another 8 cents starting on April 1st, this is a slap in the face."
Mark's father was one of the first dairy farmers to sell organic milk in Maine, and Mark started working with him when he was fourteen, with a dream of working together to expand the family farm. After graduating from high school, Mark realized he needed more experience and equity and starting working on the farm which he purchased two years ago. "I had the opportunity to buy this farm and everyone said there was a tremendous future in organic dairy," says Mark, "so my family and I made the commitment and invested over half a million dollars believing that Gary Hirschberg would stand by his pledge to his organic dairy farmers."
Gary Hirschberg, Stonyfield's President and CEO, proudly proclaims on the Stonyfield Farm milk carton that "organic dairy farmers are our heroes" and their website states that "Paying farmers a fair price for their products is an important tenet for many involved in organic agriculture". Stonyfield Farm licenses their name to HP Hood LLC, owned by the John Kaneb family, who procures, processes, and distributes the organic fluid milk line.
Stonyfield Farm also donates "10% of it profits to help protect and restore the Earth." "Perhaps Gary's priorities are misdirected and he should not make so much profit at the expense of organic farmers that lead the way in protecting and preserving the Earth," says Maine organic dairy farmer Henry Perkins.
Mark Ouellette's answer is a lot simpler "Gary should honor his marketing pledges. I milk 80 cows and don't make enough to pay all my farm bills," says Mark, "I can't afford basic health insurance for my wife and son; these low milk prices are killing me!"
Mark is not alone. Aaron Bell, a 30 year old organic dairy farmer, has analyzed his costs and knows that he needs at least a 60 cent per gallon increase to break even. "The cost of electric, grain, fuel, labor have all gone up in the last year but the pay price has remained static," says Aaron, " We invested $250,000 in our organic dairy with the expectation that it would increase our profitability, not that we would lose money. It would be a shame to close up shop after 8 generations with the ninth looking on with eager eyes."
Maine dairy farmer Nick Michaud had a different response. He is giving up organic production and heading back to conventional production. Nick is not alone; 4 farms in VT and 5 in New York have stopped organic dairying and returned to conventional production in the last six months.
Since 2001, the average price paid to farmers for their organic milk has increased by only 29%. By any measurement, whether they are for soft costs (insurance, living expenses) or production costs, this does not represent an adequate return for the skilled labor and capital investment of organic dairy producers. The data that has been collected by USDA Agricultural Research Service and the Universities of Vermont, Maine, and Wisconsin indicate that the base price paid to family farmers in the Northeast in 2007 should have been $28.50 and needs to rise to $33 for 2008 rather than the current average of $27.50.
Across the country other farmers are suffering from the same problems. "There is a very serious situation going on right now and some of our very best farmers are looking at bankruptcy," says Darlene Coehoorn, Wisconsin farmer, Organic Valley member-owner and President of the Midwest Organic Dairy Producers Alliance (MODPA), "and we need Organic Valley, Stonyfield Farm, HP Hood, and Horizon Organic to recognize that our families are suffering. While the major brands are signing on new farmers with bonuses and incentives, they need to take care of their farmer-owners and farm partners by paying us a price for our milk that allows us to support our families and pay our farm bills."
The costs of doing business are rising. Health insurance rises each year with an increase of 78% from 2001 to 2007 and a projected increase of 10% in 2008. Fuel prices have risen by an average of 20% over the last two years depending on the location of the farm. The cost of shell corn has risen from $168/ton in 2001 to $380/ton and higher in 2008; barley from $150/ton in 2001 to $290/ton in 2007 and is now $390/ton as well as purchased forages having more than doubled in the last six years. Given the rapid increase in the organic poultry industry and human demand for corn and soy, combined with little increase in organic grain acreage and oil peaking over $100 a barrel, there is no sign of any decrease in the price of purchased feed and energy.
As New York farmer, Organic Valley member-owner, and National Organic Standards Board member Kevin Englebert writes in the latest NODPA News, "The problem comes back to the same old story (organic) dairy farmers are not receiving enough money for their efforts. The best, long term solution remains receiving a fair price for our organic milk."

Increase in Feed cost for organic dairy compared to pay price
2001 2008 % Increase
Whole shell corn $168 $380 126%
Oats $125 $370 196%
Barley $150 $390 160%
Wheat mids $105 $330 214%
Roasted soy beans $450 $1,145 154%
Pay price $ 21 $27 29%
The mission of NODPA is to enable organic dairy family farmers, situated across an extensive area, to have informed discussion about matters critical to the well being of the organic dairy industry as a whole, with particular emphasis on: Establishing a fair and sustainable price for their product at the wholesale level. Promoting ethical, ecological and economically sustainable farming practices. Developing networks with producers and processors of other organic commodities to strengthen the infrastructure within the industry. Establishing open dialogue with organic dairy processors and retailers in order to better influence producer pay price and to contribute to marketing efforts.

Rex Ryan's memorable moments and quotes
During an interview with WEEI's "Dennis and Callahan Show" in the preseason, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said he doesn't watch "Hard Knocks" because he "hates the Jets." Ryan, of course, responded, noting that his brother, Rob, won a pair of Super Bowl rings as a Patriots assistant coach.
"My brother has a couple Super Bowl rings and he loves Tom Brady. I don't like Tom Brady."

Tired of how long it takes to do your payroll with Excel? Discover how some smart Kenyans have made their payroll routine so much quicker and easier
What's your biggest hassle in doing your monthly payroll?
- Is it the calculations?
- Or the many different reports you need to churn out?
Whichever of these two related tasks bothers you most, I have good news for you, both will vanish using Nifty Payroll software.
- The calculations are done behind the scenes (hiding away all the complex formulas).
- Every report you need can be opened with a single click from one long payroll report list (all calculations done, properly formatted, ready to print or email).
Just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, here is what I mean by the calculations and the reports …
The Calculations
There are only really three main calculations you need to do – PAYE, NHIF, NSSF. And they're fairly simple. (If they were complicated how would the government expect people to comply?)
PAYE and NHIF amounts are both computed from tables provided by KRA and NHIF respectively.
They work on the same basic principle:
A table of salary amounts is provided and the amount to be deducted for a salary is indicated in that table. The graduated amounts are called brackets. For example the current PAYE brackets are as follows:
- 0 Kshs – 10,165 (Tax for this bracket (10%) – 1,016)
- 10,165 – 19,741 (Tax for this bracket (15%) – 1,436)
- 19,741 – 29,317 (Tax for this bracket (20%) – 1,915)
- 29,317 – 38,893 (Tax for this bracket (25%) – 2,394)
- 38,893 and above (Tax for this bracket – 30%)
NHIF is straight forward, pick the amount to be deducted for the bracket where your salary falls.
PAYE is a little more complicated. You don't just pick the amount from your bracket, you compute a fraction of the amount for your bracket depending on how much above the minimum your salary is. Then, you also add the amounts from the previous brackets to compute your total deductible PAYE.
It is a bit complicated, but once you have a working formula, it's simplified a lot.
NSSF is simple, one universal compulsory figure for everybody. There's the matter of voluntary NSSF contributions, but that's also a single amount with no complicated brackets like for the other two.
So those are the main statutory (government-enforced) calculations.
The Problem With Reports
In my opinion, the many reports you need to create from one basic set of payroll data is the real hassle of doing a payroll.
If everybody was happy with one simple, big report you would never need a specialized payroll software …
… but these guys want the information formatted like this, those guys only want to see this bit of information, the other chaps over there don't want so and so to see this and this column, and on, and on, and on, ad nausea.
So you go through the tedium of creating every single report you need, which is bad enough as it is until this happens …
… after you're done and have all your beautiful, shiny reports done, some amounts need to be changed! To the dustbin with all of them, you have to start building all of them up again!
A total nightmare! There are far better ways for us to spend our time than building spreadsheets over and over!
Example Reports
So here are a few of the different reports you've got to create every month.
- The NHIF guys want you to do returns a certain way
- NSSF usually immitate NHIF
- PAYE (KRA) now needs you to format your information for uploading to the online system
But the government isn't the only one who needs reports
- The boss needs to see a summary schedule
- The Pension people need their report
- Of course let's not forget the payslip every employee must have
- The SACCO guys are waiting for theirs
- The accountants need to post their journals
All of these peoples needs is what makes a payroll such a complicated thing. Simple calculations, many reports in many different formats.
Take The Pain Away
You really don't need to go through all that hassle every month, here's one solution to the problem – Nifty Payroll
You can try it for free with no obligation to buy after.
The Free Trial comes with instructions on how to use the software starting with a Quick Start Guide that shows you how to get up and running from keying in your employees to getting all your reports.
Thereafter you'll get emails showing you the details of how to do the most common payroll tasks
I think it's the best way to evaluate if Nifty Payroll takes your hassle away in a way you like. Go ahead now and put in your information in the form below to immediately get the Free Trial.

Influenza (flu) is a lung infection caused by a specific influenza virus. People can get the flu at any time of year, but it is more common in the fall and winter.
People who get the flu usually have some or all of the following symptoms:
Most of these symptoms usually last for 2 to 7 days. The cough and weakness can last for up to 6 weeks. This can make exercise and even day-to-day activities difficult.
Most people who get the flu will not get seriously ill. But the flu can be more serious for some people. Typically, those most at risk are in one of these groups:
Anyone who lives or works with people from these groups should be immunized with the flu vaccine (shot). That way, people from these high-risk groups are less likely to be infected with the flu. The flu vaccine is discussed further down the page.
Usually, treatment is focused on the symptoms the person is feeling. For example, if your child has a fever, you can give him acetaminophen (Tylenol) to reduce fever.
There is also a medicine available to help treat flu in patients 1 year old or older. Contact your child's doctor for more information.
The flu spreads very easily from an infected person to others through coughing and sneezing. It is also spread by touching objects after someone with the flu has touched them.
Your child will be placed in a single room and will not be able to visit the playroom until they are feeling better. Ask the Child Life Specialist to bring toys and supplies to your room.
Hospital staff will be wearing a mask, eye protection, gloves, and gowns when they visit.
Wash your hands often, either with alcohol-based hand rubs or soap and water, before and after touching your child and before leaving your child's room. Hospital staff should wash their hands as well.
If you or anyone else who has visited becomes ill with symptoms of the flu, let your child's doctor or nurse know.
The following are ways to avoid getting the flu:
If you have the flu, you should do the following things to avoid spreading it:
The influenza vaccine (flu shot) is made from pieces of killed and/or live altered flu viruses. It contains 3 different types of flu viruses. A person who receives the flu shot develops immunity for the types of flu in the vaccine. "Immunity" means the body builds up protection against the virus.
The body needs about 2 weeks after the shot to build up protection against the virus. This protection lasts for about 6 months.
The flu shot will not protect against other viruses.
People need a new flu shot every year. The flu virus changes each year, so a different vaccine has to be used each year too. Doctors and scientists find out the types of flu virus that are circulating around the world. The vaccine is then made to protect against the types that are most likely to occur each year.
The flu shot is free to people living in Ontario. Anyone older than 6 months of age should have the flu shot unless there is a reason not to. Ask your child's doctor if your child can get the flu shot.
A flu pandemic is an outbreak of the flu virus that spreads quickly around the world. Flu pandemics happen when a new type of flu develops. Because it is new, people have little or no immunity against it. This means that all people could be at risk for serious illness.
Avian influenza (bird flu) is an example of a new type of flu. It has spread between birds and has now infected humans. So far, there is little spread between humans. If human-to-human spread becomes common and avian flu is spread worldwide, then a pandemic would be declared.
If a pandemic is declared, pay attention to public health messages about what to do and who is at risk. In the meantime:
There are further steps you and your family can take to help protect yourself from pandemic flu.

Richard Desmond is preparing to wield the axe at Express Newspapers.
Senior insiders say the owner has lopped 10 per cent, or £5 million, off next year's editorial budget at the Daily Express, the group's flagship title.
He wants to use the cash to pay for promotions and give-aways in an effort to boost circulation. The cuts are certain to lead to more job losses, according to informed sources.
Desmond has told the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) that there are currently no plans to cut jobs.
He is keen to acquire the Telegraph titles should they come on to the market and, to maximise his chances of doing so, is anxious to counter his image as a vicious cost-cutter.
However friends of Chris Williams, the former Express editor who walked out last Thursday, say that Desmond's decision to wield the axe was a major factor in Williams's decision to quit.
He has taken a job with Associated Newspapers, which publishes the Daily Mail, and been replaced by Peter Hill, who has edited Express stablemate the Daily Star for five years.
Desmond is likely to offer voluntary redundancy to long-serving staff, who will be offered lucrative pay-offs. The cuts will be completed by March.
He has already slashed overheads at the Express group since acquiring it three years ago. Around 150 journalists were made redundant shortly after he arrived.
Daily Express deputy editor Nicola Briggs has been told that Hugh Whittow, currently doing the same job at the Daily Star, is to take her job.
Features executive Dawn Neesom is the favourite to edit the Daily Star.
Senior Express sources say that the papers are hugely profitable, despite recent reports suggesting that they are making little, if any, money.
They say that the four titles made £9m last month - even though the Daily Star Sunday, which Desmond launched this year - is loss-making.
Talking for the first time since taking up his post, Hill indicated that he will change the tone of the paper.
He is expected to reduce the prominence of stories about house prices and pensions - subjects that regularly appeared on the front page under Williams's editorship.

The Gift of Giving
So, you've decided to donate money to a cause or institution you passionately support. Choosing where to invest your money can be a difficult decision. But it wasn't for the late Wirt C. Belcher, a lifelong West Virginian and alumnus of West Virginia University, whose generosity continues to benefit his alma mater.
Belcher was born in Saulsville, W.Va. and earned a master's degree from the WVU College of Human Resources and Education – now the College of Education and Human Services – in 1951. Following the passing of his wife, Mae, in 1999 and before his passing in 2005, Belcher created the Wirt C. and Mae S. Belcher Endowment Fund through the WVU Foundation to support education and research at WVU.
With an estate valued at more than $1 million, Belcher said in an interview before his death that he "had to leave the money to someone" and that he'd "rather give it to the University than to the government."
The fund annually benefits the WVU Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy and Dentistry, as well as the College of Education and Human Services and the College of Law.
"I gave to the College of Human Resources and Education because I got my degree from there," Belcher said when he created the endowment. "I chose the School of Medicine because everyone needs a doctor, and also because I had a college professor who invited me to his house and told me I should go to med school. I was his top lab student, but I couldn't afford medical school. I gave to the School of Dentistry because I lost all of my teeth. Everybody needs a dentist."
And regarding his decision to donate to the WVU College of Law, Belcher had a witty response for that as well.
"Well, I always got myself into trouble, and everybody needs someone to defend them."
The most recent gift of $100,000 from the Belcher fund will be split evenly by the five schools and colleges to support students, faculty and staff.
But while the fund has generously provided opportunities for colleges and programs across the WVU campus, monetary donations weren't the only way Wirt and Mae Belcher chose to make an impact in the lives of others.
Both Belcher and his wife were lifelong residents of West Virginia and former educators, and while they didn't have any children, they dedicated their lives to educating and serving others.
Wirt Belcher first received a teaching certificate, followed by a bachelor's degree from Concord College in 1936, teaching in Wyoming County schools.
Mae Belcher also received a teaching certificate as well as a bachelor's degree from Concord College in 1943. Mae would then attend Duke University, Marshall College and Columbia University where she'd receive a master's degree, principal's certificate and supervisor's certificate.
Mae was also elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates in 1958, where she'd move on to serve two terms.

text: Cape Town - Former Springbok coach Jake White believes Heinrich Brüssow's injury early in the Springboks' clash against the Wallabies proved costly.WIN a pair of the new adidas rugby bootsClick to BUY the Springbok kitchen recipe bookThe Boks crashed out of the tournament with a narrow 11-9 loss in Wellington on Sunday.Brüssow left the field early in the first half with a rib injury, and White feels it was a massive blow to the Boks' fortunes.Australia's flanker David Pocock had a field day, stealing many a Springbok ball - albeit with a bit of help from referee Bryce Lawrence - to prove how vital a "fetcher" is in the modern game.White was in the past renowned for not believing a "fetcher" is necessary, but seems to have changed his stance on the issue. "David Pocock had a massive influence on the game. Many may think it's a big statement for me, but Heinrich Brüssow's departure from the field and how much the Wallabies missed Pocock against Ireland (when Ireland won 15-6), showed how important a fetcher is in this World Cup," said White on his website, RugbyXV.White also lauded the performance of South Africa's Schalk Burger in New Zealand. "Schalk Burger showed again why he is such a phenomenal rugby player. For me, he was by far the best South African player at the World Cup, and that was highlighted by his showing against the Wallabies," said White.* Click HERE for the latest RWC odds on BET.CO.ZA

Re: best system for senior classical music listener
Don't ship a turntable across the country to New York if you can avoid it. Wait until you settle in somewhere then search for your new system in earnest. I'm sure a good Linn dealer can arrange to get your turntable set up for you, especially if you happen to be buying several components of your new system from him! That's probably not strictly necessary but, again, the idea is to have a setup where the whole is greater, musically speaking, than the sum of its parts. Quantity does not equal quality here, so trust your ears and don't assume you must have big speakers or a zillion watts-per-channel.
I have a rather enjoyable 1958 EMI recording of Rossini's Il Barbiere with Gobi and Callas. During that nice little ditty "Una voce poco fa..." the lady hits a couple of notes which can lay bare a tweeter with an uneven response. On a well regarded large pair of floor-standing speakers costing around $5,000 per pair you could literally hear the tweeter breaking up with unnatural harshness and crackle. The same aria played on a $500 pair of bookshelf B&W speakers had Callas nearly bringing me to my feet with her rendition. Ah, Maria, when you were bad (dare I say frequently?) you were truly awful, and when you were good you were a delight. However, the $1600 Magnepans (MG 1.6 maybe?) actually placed the singers on the stage in front of me. And my old pair of Quad ESLs? Mmm, sheer magic!
OK, enough rambling. You get the idea ...........

I have found the Truth and it doesn't make sense.
The ladies under 35 are too young for him. If he goes for the young ones, I would seriously question his maturity level and seriousness. Older guys who like much younger women give me the creeps. Some of these women are not much older than his daughters!
..but..but... I just thought that Suzanne looks like a fun person to have around, she has this twinkle in her eye. Well, that actually fits Patsy, in a wayOriginally Posted by queenb
Edits... I messed up reading the names. The person I was looking at was Deborah. Yeah, Suzanne is very Patsy
ps. This is just my opinion in the matter.
OK out of the blocks, I'm liking Lola. She seems old enough and presents herself as more mature (my opinion from the picture).
Deborah looks like Morgan Fairchild.
Agree with berries on the Ivanna Trump, Kelly Jo, and Suzie matches!
When you put your whole body into the dance, your spirit will follow.
Here is my take. Very judgemental..I know. Reality TV brings out the worst in me. Sarah looks like Kelly-jo in about 15-20 years. Suzanne looks like she is going for the Ivanna Trump look. I wanted to hear more of her voice to see if she had an accent. Tina... just sue the doctor. That is one bad eye job. Melanie is my favorite. She seems classy, decent, nice and is beautiful.

Learning in the real world: IWC students undertake Gladstone field trip
Each year, full-time and part-time students of the IWC Master of Integrated Water Management travel to Gladstone for a 10-day intensive field trip as part of the Catchment and Aquatic Ecosystem Health module.
Gladstone, home to Queensland's largest multi-commodity port, is an area of significant economic growth in Australia. Much of the development in the region is related to mining, with raw commodities exported and imported into Gladstone. Recent developments such as expansion of the port facilities, and corresponding issues of the health of the harbour, have attracted significant attention politically and within the community over the past few years.
2015 field trip highlights
Through harbour and site tours, the Masters students met with a wide range of local stakeholders involved in the management and monitoring of the development in the region and learnt, first-hand, examples of integrated water management in practice. These tours also provided local context to the module's lecture content which is about understanding catchment and receiving water disturbances and the consequences for aquatic ecosystem health.
The field trip contained an interesting mix of theoretical content delivered by Dr Wade Hadwen from the Australian Rivers Institute at Griffith University, and context-specific information from a wide range of guest presenters, including:
- government (Gladstone Regional Council, Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection and Gladstone Ports Corporation)
- not-for-profit agencies (Fitzroy Basin Authority, Capricornia Catchments, Gladstone Healthy Harbour Partnership)
- universities (Central Queensland University)
- private companies (Gladstone Area Water Board, Queensland Alumina Limited and Infofish).
"I really enjoyed working with my classmates during the field trip in
Gladstone. We all approach water issues in completely different ways and
it's fascinating to learn about our approaches while working on the
same assignments. Gladstone allowed me to take apart the puzzle pieces
of a complicated water issue, and to put my classroom education around
integration to work in real life. I came out of the intensive course
feeling like I had a better idea of why water-related issues are so
difficult to tackle and how we can approach useful solutions", said Kimberly Worsham.
Learning outcomes
The field trip focused on building the students' awareness of complex issues in a developed catchment that has a history of environmental health issues. The information gathered throughout the field trip helped them understand the local context of the region and build their own view of the issues and challenges that lie ahead, particularly around the monitoring of the health of the catchment, harbour and the Great Barrier Reef.
"During the Gladstone field trip I learnt first-hand from academics, industry groups, government authorities and landowners about the issues and complexities in managing Gladstone Harbour. I also took advantage of a day off to snorkel and dive on the Great Barrier Reef, climb Mt Larcom and relax on the beach at 1770 and Agnes Water. With renewed friendships and continuing enthusiasm, I am now looking forward to the next round of field trips at the end of this year and next year", said Erin Sellers.
Problem-Based Learning Project
Whilst in Gladstone the Masters students undertook a problem-based learning project in collaboration with the Gladstone Healthy Harbour Partnership (GHHP). The primary aim of the 'Gladstone Healthy Harbour Model Use Project' is to help form a better understanding of how the GHHP can structure, communicate, share and discuss scientific information and knowledge in the form of a Harbour Model. This will inform and assist with the strategic management of the health of the harbour in the longer term and assist in working towards the vision of a healthy, accessible, working harbour.
Masters students split up into nine teams of 4-5 members each and interviewed a range of 18 stakeholders from industry, government, Traditional Owners groups, environmental organisations and NGOs to learn how stakeholder values and perceptions can be elicited and used to improve decision-making in complex, multi-stakeholder water management contexts. As this project forms part of their assessment for the Masters program, each student writes up a report with a sample of the best reports being presented to the GHHP and the stakeholders involved.
The Harbour Model is a good example of integrated water management in practice - bringing together environmental, economic, social and cultural knowledge; combining multiple stakeholder and community perspectives into a single vision; and integrating scientific knowledge and community aspirations into local government, state government, industry and NGO planning and management decision-making.
More information
IWC Master of Integrated Water Management
The IWC Masters program creates water leaders by drawing on international teaching and research from many fields to provide a trans-disciplinary, whole-of-water-cycle approach to water management.
Scholarships for the next intake of the IWC Master of Integrated Water Management remain open until 1 October 2015 for domestic candidates (applications are now closed for international candidates).

This is just a beauty of a guitar, it's a Collings OM2H, which is their Orchestra Model. It's a body shape that is one of the most popular for 14 fret acoustics, well loved by fingerstyle guitarists.
Compact size wise, it's as useful on the sofa as it would be mic'ed up on stage. With a body that's only 4 inches deep, it's comfortable to hold and produces a balanced tone and instant response.
This particular guitar has had the all Koa treatment thrown at it, with Koa back, sides and top. This is a favourite tone wood here at Peach, and looks as stunning as it sounds. It imparts a warmth and focus, particularly in the midrange. Koa starts life on a guitar a little tight and bright, but it opens up like no other wood producing a sweet and resonant tone given some time and energy.
Ships in a colling deluxe hardshell case.

This weekend we celebrate the Second Sunday of Advent. The readings this weekend focus on preparing for the Lord. In the Gospel of Matthew, we are introduced to John the Baptist who is a cousin of Jesus. We will read about John this week and next Sunday because he is a major figure during the Season of Advent and focuses on preparation and repentance. He says "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Prepare the Way of the Lord."
Advent is a time to renew and deepen our relationship with God. It is a time of prayer. As believers who continue to await Jesus' Second coming, let us draw hope from these texts and prepare for the Lord.

Colon cancer is expected to claim the lives of 49,700 American men and women in 2015. Despite the fact that this form of cancer is highly treatable when discovered early, colon cancer remains the third deadliest form of cancer in the United States. Due in part to low testing rates, only 40 percent of people are diagnosed at an early stage while the cancer is still localized (Source: American Cancer Society).
It doesn't have to be this way!
March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, an annual observance dedicated toward raising awareness for this deadly disease and educating people on the importance of routine colon screening. Whether you're a colon cancer survivor, advocate or caregiver, there are plenty of ways you can get involved! Check out these colon cancer awareness campaigns taking place all throughout the month of March:
One Million Strong
Drawing inspiration from the more than one million colon cancer survivors, One Million Strong is an award-winning campaign designed to spread colon cancer awareness through events, videos, marches, and stories of strength and inspiration. Check out their calendar for upcoming events near you.
Blue Star States
Governors must sign a proclamation each year declaring March as Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. In 2014, 46 governors chose to participate. Let's work together and get this number to 50! Contact your governor to request a proclamation and make your state a Blue Star State. Fight Colorectal Cancer has all the tools you need, including a step-by-step guide, instructions for your state, and even a sample proclamation.
Undy 5000
How about a brief run around the neighborhood? Literally. The Undy 5000 is a family-friendly race that encourages participants to run in their boxers or briefs to get people talking about colon cancer. Funds raised from this event help the Colon Cancer Alliance support local and national colon cancer services. Check here to check for race locations near you. No race in your hometown? No problem! Start your own virtual team and host an event in your community.
Dress in Blue Day
National Dress in Blue Day is Friday, March 6. Dress in the signature color of colon cancer awareness to help spread the word that colon cancer is preventable and treatable with routine screening. Want to take it a step further? Start a team or fundraiser to generate funds for the Colon Cancer Alliance's financial assistance programs.
Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is a great opportunity to share life-saving information with those around you. Find a way to get involved in your community and let your voice be heard that colon cancer is preventable and treatable. Your words and actions can save lives!

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – Another bicycle crash during the Tour of the Gila.
But this crash was minor compared to Wednesday's crash that involved 80 racers.
Two riders were airlifted to a hospital in Tucson.
KRQE News 13 talked with the race spokesperson Thursday who says one rider broke a jaw and other facial bones. Another has a hip injury.
Cyclists say it was one of the worst crashes they've seen.
Racers were going downhill at about 45 miles per hour when it happened.
The cyclists in Thursday's crash weren't seriously hurt.
The race wraps up Sunday.

If you want the OZx airstrips (340+) to show up in FSX airport selection list and being able to select to fly to and from them, you can download the BGL files at the bottom. That will add these airstrips to FSX list of airports/airstrips. The download contain one BGL for each region.
This is very basic. It does not contain afcad files, but you can select the airstrips in FSX list of airports, and start at a airstrip or fly direct to an airstrip by using the FSX flight planner and GPS. The airstrips that did not have an ICOA code I have allocated a YZ.. code so to facilitate selecting the airstrip by name or by code. I have added an excel spreadsheet for all the airstrips with their ICOA codes that is included with the download file.
If u don't want to see the airstrips, they just remove the BGL. A very easy process.

EPA Proposes Standards to Reduce Mercury Discharges from Dental Offices

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today proposed standards under the Clean Water Act to help cut discharges of dental amalgam to the environment. Amalgam is a mixture of mercury and other metals that dentists use to fill cavities. Mercury is discharged when dentists remove old fillings or remove excess amalgam when placing a new filling.
Studies show about half the mercury that enters Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) comes from dental offices. Mercury from amalgam can then make its way into the environment in a number of ways, including through discharge to water bodies. Contact with some microorganisms can help create methylmercury, a highly toxic form of mercury that builds up in fish, shellfish and fish-eating animals. Fish and shellfish are the main sources of human exposure to methylmercury.
