I have a Turner Reich triple convertible with the serial number RE0010 on both cells. The lens is an F 7.0 Series II, 12.4", 19", 25", mounted in an Alphax shutter. Anyone have an idea about the serial number? I don't think Gundlach used the Kodak CAMEROSITY codes or was even still in business in 1954. Maybe a prototype or a special run from the government? Any information from the great and the good would by appreciated.

Nasdaq can't shake Facebook troublesAugust 23, 2012: 12:33 PM ET
Nasdaq can't seem to put the Facebook IPO debacle behind it.
Shortly after the botched IPO, Nasdaq proposed a $40 million settlement to compensate brokers who were affected by trading glitches on Facebook's opening day (May 18).
Nasdaq (NDAQ) upped that figure to $62 million in mid-July, and Nasdaq CEO Bob Greifeld called it "definitive" during a July 25 conference call with analysts.
Citigroup (C) and UBS (UBS) have come out swinging. In a letter filed with the SEC late Wednesday, Citi said Nasdaq's compensation plan would only cover a "very small fraction of its losses."Citi went on to say, in its 17-page letter, that Nasdaq should be held liable for its "misdeeds" and not be permitted to claim any type of immunity.
UBS also deemed the plan"inadequate to address the magnitude of Nasdaq's unprecedented failures."
But others urged regulators to approve the plan. Citadel, another affected broker, called Nasdaq's offer "objective and fair."
The other broker-dealers that lost money on Facebook's opening day have just a few days left to submit comments to the SEC.
Facebook stock plunges to all-time low
The fiercest critic of the original plan, Knight Capital Group (KCG) CEO Thomas Joyce, has been silent in recent weeks, after a trading glitch at his own firm nearly closed Knight's doors. A spokesperson for Knight Capital said the firm is not sure whether the market maker will submit comments.
Once the comment period is closed, the SEC will make a determination on the appropriate settlement.
On the July conference call, Nasdaq's CEO said the payout would be distributed in the fourth quarter, pending SEC approval.

Whenever I travel, aside from visiting Sacred and Mystical places, I also make sure that I try out the local dishes of the place that I'm visiting.
In one of my visits in Laoag, Ilocos Norte, I tried a different kind of pizza at Saramsam. I know pizza is not considered as an exotic food; however, this pizza is different because it's made of Ilocos Longganisa or Ilocos' local sausage and the other pizza is called Pinakbet Pizza, which is made of local Ilocos vegetables.
Pinakbet is a mixed vegetable dish cooked in fish sauce. The vegetables are usually sitaw (string beans), ampalaya (bitter melon or bitter gourd), okra, and talong (eggplant).
The Ilocos Longganisa Pizza is surprisingly good. It's actually quite simple, they used Filipino style tomato as a base sauce and they simply put the Ilocos Longganisa on top of it with some cheese, it's just as simple as that, and the taste is surprisingly good.
However, the Pinakbet Pizza, which was hyped a few years back, is a great disappointment. I thought it is really made of vegetables cooked Pinakbet style and place on top of a pizza dough, however, the Pinakbet pizza is simply a pizza dough with Filipino style tomato sauce and cheese then they simply place the vegetables on top of the pizza dough and tomato sauce. It taste bad and a great disappointment, other than the vegetables, there is simply no touch of Pinakbet.

Charities Share the Gospel and Change Lives
How businesses and programs across the country put faith into action. June 17 issue feature.
One way people live out Gospel values is through charities, foundations and their businesses. They show there's no room for an "either/or" response — a "both/and" answer is needed.
One business living Christian charity in a big way is Broetje Orchards of Prescott, Wash. The company's tagline alludes to Scripture — "First Fruits of Washington" (FirstFruits.com). As one of the largest privately owned apple orchards in the country — the orchard sends apples and cherries coast-to-coast — Broetje's stated mission as a Christian organization is founded on a biblical principle: "to be a quality fruit company committed to 'bearing fruit that will last' (John 15:16)." "The orchard was founded on the belief that faith and business can be incorporated in a single mission," states Broetje's website.
More scriptural foundations came in 1979, when founders Ralph and Cheryl Broetje saw their workforce change quickly. Young Latinos were replacing the typical U.S. migrant families who were no longer traveling because of gas prices. The situation led them to believe God was calling the orchard to live out biblical principles about treating immigrants as native-born people (Leviticus 19:33-34) and others like "God shows no partiality. … He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing" (Deuteronomy 10:18-19).
Pope Paul VI's 1967 writings on migrant peoples also influenced the mission, which the orchard mentions on its website, including Populorum Progressio (On the Development of Peoples). With more than 1,000 permanent employees and a workforce swelling to 2,800 during harvest season, Broetje has invested over $10 million building two communities that include nearly 250 units of affordable housing and seasonal housing for employees, plus home ownership opportunities for them. Broetje built a huge daycare facility for the workers and subsidizes the costs; it also founded Vista Hermosa Elementary to educate Latino students in grades pre-K through 5. In addition, the orchard also founded a youth ranch for struggling teens. And every year Broetje Orchards donates 50% of its profits to the needy around the world. Employees get to direct some of the charitable contributions.
And the Broetje family, through their Vista Hermosa Foundation, has given more than $50 million so far to help developing peoples in East Africa, India, Haiti, Mexico and Central America. Broetje is a model business in what it means to be one's brother's keeper.
In the Midwest, Bridges of Iowa in Des Moines is more than a foundation. It's a ministry that is also its brother's keeper, but in a whole different way (BridgesofIowa.org). This faith-based treatment program acts as the bridge that men and women in trouble with the law because of drugs and alcohol can use to cross from addiction and crime to spiritual well-being and productive lives.
Don Lamberti of the Casey's General Store chain, Bridges' founder and chair emeritus, put in more than $2 million to start the program 12 years ago when he saw that jail wasn't helping change the lives of those incarcerated because of their drug or alcohol addictions. He wanted to do something to help change lives.
When his son Anthony discovered a book on the subject written by Episcopalian priest Frank Constantino, Lamberti went with friends to check out that author's Bridges of America program in Florida.
One of the friends who checked out the Florida program was Thomas Jackowski, a criminal defense lawyer who was tired of seeing his clients in and out of prison because of their unaddressed addictions.
Lamberti and Jackowski believed they saw a state-of-the art program run from a faith-based perspective and wanted to emulate it themselves with a Catholic perspective. Jackowski well remembers Lamberti saying, "I believe I'm being told by God to do it. I want to be part of the solution. And you're going to do it for me." Jackowski did. Today he is Bridges of Iowa's CEO and executive director.
"Don was the central driving force behind it," Jackowski says. "He funds it, attends every meeting and graduation, and we speak weekly about it. He and I firmly believe this is part of the New Evangelization." Jackowski describes the founder and his family as staunch Catholics and credits Lamberti with bringing him back to the Catholic faith.
Faith, in fact, is the indispensable foundation for the Bridges program, which is heavy on the faith journey and personal accountability aspects of additions recovery. "Scriptures tell us we have to be accountable to God and to each other," Jackowski says. Secular treatment modalities are joined to the faith-based program — all carried out by a staff who have advanced training and international accreditation.
The religious aspect begins on day one. Although people seeking treatment don't have to be Christians to enter, Jackowski explains, 100% leave as believers."
We open the door for them, but they have to walk through it," he says. When they do, they find "the program is heavily steeped in Christ-centered teaching."
Although founded, funded and run by Catholics, Bridges of Iowa is nondenominational. Working with clients are two Catholic deacons and several Protestant ministers. A Catholic priest sits on the board. There are prayer groups and traditional Bible study. About three years ago none of the clients were involved with the Catholic Church. Today, one-third are, with a number of Catholics wanting to come home to the Church. During their average stay of 12-18 months, clients also learn to become gainfully employed and financially responsible, emphasizes Jackowski. In the last phase, clients move to transitional living, also set up by Lamberti. Bridges graduates 40-50 men and 15-20 women a year, and their rate for remaining abstinent after a drug-treatment program is well above the national average. It's almost 80%. And 95% of those who might temporarily relapse get back on track.
"We believe this is a God-inspired effort," Jackowski says.
Certainly the two deacons — Mike Manno and Steve Reed — believe that as well. Bishop Richard Pates encouraged their involvement.
"The faith component is what really takes it over the top," says Deacon Reed. He points out that a number of the men had previously gone to 60- and 90-day programs. "If there isn't a faith component, it doesn't take hold; there's a lot of recidivism. But not here."
Reed notes a lot of the program is Bible-based and focuses on the teaching of good, Christian principles. And for added assistance Catholic clients can get involved with the Knights of Columbus or a Catholic community.
"They can't succeed unless they are in contact with God, and they need other people to support them to this journey back to sobriety," he says. He adds that graduates are encouraged to go to church at least weekly, and some even become Knights. And the program has a ripple effect because it not only affects and helps the individuals, but also their families.
In Asheville, N.C., George Pfaff, a spry 85-year-old, puts his faith into action. For his Diocese of Charlotte, he still carries on the work that his George and Jane Pfaff Family Foundation started several years ago in their former Diocese of Albany, N.Y., where the Pfaffs resided for 40 years.
Although Pfaff dissolved the foundation after he retired, he and his wife, Jane, continued the same work of helping fund the seminarian programs in various dioceses. That included not only their Albany Diocese, but also in their Florida diocese's seminary in Boynton Beach when they lived in Delray Beach.
Today, for the Diocese of Charlotte, he's in the midst of a five-year effort called Friend to Seminarians. Instead of giving them a basic donation, he made a challenge grant. "They have an annual fund drive for the seminary, and I persuaded them they would do better if they made it a matching fund," he explains. "I provide the match. I'm giving them $100,000 a year for five years, and they use that for getting matching grants."
The challenge is working better than expected. "This is only the second year," Pfaff says, "and they gained $33,000-34,000 over the $100,000 they needed for the matching money. So that really helped get the whole activity going."
"The significance of that kind of generosity is that it encourages other people to make commitments to the seminarians at a more significant level who would not have done that otherwise," says Jim Kelley, director of development for the Charlotte Diocese.
Explaining the history of his interests, Pfaffs says: "I was reasonably successful in business, and my wife and I decided we would make seminaries the No. 1 beneficiary of our legacies."
After Jane, who suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and was wheelchair-bound for several years, died two and a half years ago — the Pfaffs were married 57 years — Pfaff not only continued funding seminarian programs.
Through his parish, St. Eugene Church, he started participating in a Christian-based program at a nearby women's prison. "Basically, they say if you want to be successful in re-entering society, you have to be a Christian-minded individual and work at it," says Pfaff, who gives each woman in the program a copy of Father John Bartunek's book on prayer when she graduates.
"I say to them in no uncertain terms," explains Pfaff, "one way to make it on the outside is to believe in God and practice it."
He's certainly a man who practices what he preaches.

Training explained by Army generals
December 18, 2008
Fort Leavenworth A new manual released this week outlines how the Army will train soldiers to switch from combat to civil stability operations — or do them at the same time.
Called full spectrum operations, it's something the Army has been doing in Afghanistan and Iraq for years. Now, the training for conducting the operations is on paper as doctrine.
"It's designed to help develop an expeditionary Army," said Lt. Gen. James Thurman, the Army's deputy chief of staff.
Thurman took part in a video news conference Wednesday from Washington, D.C., and answered questions from the Pentagon's press pool and news reporters at Fort Leavenworth. Participating at Leavenworth were Brig. Gen. Robert Abrams, commander of the fort's Combined Arms Center-Training, where the manual was written.
"The manual codifies much of the training we've been doing," Abrams said.
The recent wars have shown that the Army needs to be able to conduct conventional warfare with tanks and infantry but also be able to conduct counterinsurgency operations against small enemy units, often operating among the civilian population. But soldiers also need to know how to stabilize an area's civilian population, as well as its government, the generals said.
"It's not equipment that wins wars, it's people," Thurman said.
The new manual, called FM 7-0, doesn't go into specific details about how to train — that's left to commanders — but outlines how to plan, prepare and assess training.
"It puts commanders back in the driver's seat of planning their training," Thurman said.
A Web-based Army training network is being developed that will address the "how" of the training. The manual was planned in coordination with the Marine Corps, Thurman said.
"We don't operate by ourselves," Thurman said.
The manual is a follow-up to other manuals released this year, including FM 3-0, which changed the way the Army operates in offensive, defensive and stability operations.
The new manual can be downloaded by the public without charge at www.leavenworth.army.mil.

As I was looking through my afer/wedding dress/reception sort-of/
I realized my sort of wedding dress looked like Aunt Josephines dress
only mine was white, puffy sleeves, but the bottom of my dress was
tight like a mermaid, I think, Josephines dress was more puffy, I'll have
to check, I laughed when I looked at the pictures and saw the resemblance, I was married in
BLACK in January and had a gathering in July, I gained too much weight
at christmas time and couldn't fit into the dress so I lost some weight for
July and wore it then for pictures. Only problem was....
my husband offered to get the Hawaiian Leies, I told him the colors were
RED and WHITE, but I forgot one important factor,
he's color blind, so after I had changed into my dress, he came
walking towards me with this GRINCHY GREEN Hawaiian Lei, I was
dismayed, to say the least, it all went downhill from there.
I look back now and I laugh, but at the time, you want everything to
be perfect and it was absolutely the opposite.

George Clooney's ex Elisabetta Canalis was sent packing last night on the Dancing With The Stars results show.
Despite scoring pretty well on Monday night and landing in the middle of the pack, it seems Elisabetta just didn't have enough fan support to keep her on the show.
She found herself in the bottom three with David Arquette and Chaz Bono though her score of 21 was actually better than the scores of 18 and 17 received by David and Chaz in that order.
And while the show kept Chaz in the bottom three before announcing his safety, host Tom Bergeron announced he was not really in the bottom three or at risk of going home. Perhaps Elisabetta was sent packing because viewers were a little turned off over what seemed to be an attitude by her towards her partner during Monday night's rehearsals footage.
Elisabetta, 33, however took her elimination rather well. "For me, it was a gift every day staying here, really. It was a great adventure," she said, thanking those who voted for her.
Her partner Val Chmerkovskiy, newbie and younger brother to Maksim Chmerkovskiy, was however a bit harder on himself. "I'm sorry. I wish I did better for you," he told Elisabetta for not taking her further in the competition. "But I'm very lucky to be here, and I really appreciate the opportunity."
Some are also wondering today whether the nasty tweets by the Kardashian sisters last week might have led to Elisabetta's early demise on the show.
Dancing with the Stars returns next week on Monday night at 8/7c.

Get some sleep AND avoid cell phone radiation!
Sounds like a good idea to have your child's phone out of his/her room overnight, so they get some sleep, and also because cell phones emit unhealthy radiation that should be kept at a distance from our bodies and heads. Children are even more at risk from this radiation due to their still-developing and smaller brains and skulls. Holding the cell phone away from the ear helps reduce radiation; even a half inch helps. On speaker is better. Sleeping with it under the pillow is not a good idea, yet teens have been known to do so! I've read the fine print in the manuals that used to come with the phone (now you have to search online). They said to hold the phone a half inch to an inch away from the head. Yet this information was buried on the last pages of the manuals, so no one read it! And now that the companies are saving paper by putting the manuals online, even fewer people know of this. Phones emit radiation even when not in use, unless completely turned off. Best to keep phones at least six feet away from anyone's head while sleeping!
(1) Cathryn, February 5, 2013 2:23 AM
Texting at night
Having your child's phone in your room (or, at least, not with the child) also means they can get more sleep, because sometimes children can text back and forth late into the night, and it means that the child is having a lot of interrupted sleep, or less sleep waiting in anticipation for the next text! So it's definitely a good idea for a child to not have their phone in their bedroom overnight. It doesn't need to be there!

Jeff Vanderbeek, he's the guy above, not the guy from Dawson's Creek. He owns the New Jersey Devils, or at least he "owns" them in the same way that the Wilpons own the Mets or Frank McCourt owned the Dodgers. Oodles of his debt weigh the team down, and he can't pay it off. The Devils missed a loan payment back in September, and their surprising run to the finals apparently didn't save them.
So, explains Josh Kosman in the New York Post, the league plans to take the Devils away:
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman is preparing to take control of the money-losing hockey franchise in the event Vanderbeek fails to refinance the Devils' debt before a looming Aug. 14 deadline, The Post has learned.
In recent days, the commissioner's office has told potential suitors to be ready in case he moves on the team and pushes Vanderbeek aside, a source close to the situation said.
Vanderbeek is near a deal to sell a majority stake to a mystery investor, which would allow him to keep control of the Eastern Conference champions, one source said. The proceeds from a sale would be used to repay lenders much of the $77 million in past due debt.
Vanderbeek made his money as an executive at Lehman Brothers. He left in 2004, before the firm's bankruptcy. Maybe now's a good time to give his former coworkers a call.

At the 2013 National Association of Active Investment Managers Annual Conference, Kelli Cruz, a managing director at Pepin Consulting, addressed the importance of succession planning.
Among the most important reasons to have a succession plan is that clients are concerned about it. "What happens to the firm if something happens to you?" Cruz asked attendees on Tuesday.
The next generation of advisors is a vital part of succession planning. For many advisors, Cruz said, the "ideal solution [to succession planning] is an internal successor." Furthermore, the earlier advisors begin planning, they more options they have available to them. "There's less runway in front of you in terms of exit strategy," Cruz said. However, just 36% of advisors have a plan to develop an internal successor.
Finally, she asked, "You plan for your clients' retirement, but what about yours?"
Cruz referred to a survey her firm conducted for InvestmentNews in 2012. Most advisors want to exit their firms over time, she said, leaving the operations and day-to-day management of the business first.
According to that survey, half of the 400 respondents surveyed were in some stage of succession planning. However, 44% were just "planning to plan." Of the 6% of respondents who had no plan, Cruz noted the median age was just 46, so their lack of a succession plan was more a reflection of where they were in their careers.
When it comes to transferring ownership of a practice, the biggest challenges are determining compensation and share valuation, Cruz said. To mitigate those challenges and increase the value of the firm, she suggested several objectives for advisors.
It's important to define a consistent client experience, Cruz said. "Not everyone in the firm is on the same page." She suggested advisors think about their clients who give referrals; how do they know the people they refer to their advisor will have the same experience? "Advisors need to institutionalize the delivery of advice."
Advisors should also develop and follow consistent processes for employees. Over time, employees' responsibilities can blur as jobs change and roles become blended. "It's hard to create leverage when a lot of people are involved," she noted.
It's essential for advisors to create businesses where they are dispensable, Cruz said. "Most of you have probably created businesses where you're indispensable," she told attendees. "You have to be willing to give up control and look at multiple owners."
Referring to a 2010 study, Cruz pointed out that the top performing firms had multiple firms owners, regardless of size.
Regarding employees, "Bad hires come from desperation," she said. She recommended firm owners "recruit ahead of their need" and constantly be in recruiting mode. Even if they're not ready to hire someone, they can build a pool of qualified, interested candidates to pull from when the time comes.
Matching a new hire to the firm's culture is more important than matching them to the job description, Cruz said. "You can teach people" to do certain tasks, but you can't teach them to fit in with your firm, she pointed out. She stressed that a job descriptions don't equal goals, though. "Goals tell employees what is expected of them beyond tasks."

WATSONVILLE — Police have arrested a man suspected of a series of sexual assaults on young women and teens in the city during the past three years.
Jose Navarro, 28, of Corralitos, faces three felony charges and one misdemeanor charge, and additional charges are pending, Watsonville Police Chief Manny Solano said.
Navarro was arrested without incident Wednesday in Marina, and identified by several of his victims, Solano said. Navarro also implicated himself in other attacks, police said.
According to police, women and girls as young as 14 were grabbed and groped in more than 20 attacks since 2009, mostly while victims were walking on the north end of town in the areas of Green Valley Road and Freedom Boulevard. In one incident, the attacker tried to drag a woman into bushes near the Crossroads Shopping Center on Main Street.
"We always were concerned that he might get more aggressive," Sgt. Saul Gonzalez said.
In 2010, police released a sketch of the suspect that provided hundreds of leads. A crime analyst searched for patterns to try to determine where the attacker might strike next. Undercover female officers were sent out as decoys.
But the three-year investigation of the suspect, dubbed by "The Groper" by police, was stymied by the "random and unpredictable" timing of the attacks, detective Albert Lopez said.
"Some were during the day. Some were at night," Lopez said. "He"d stop for months at a time. He lived in the community and knew we were on the lookout."
A break came when a surveillance camera caught an attack on a 21-year-old woman about 10 p.m. Oct. 20 as she walked into La Princesa Market on Main Street. Police were able to circulate the video through news media, and the community responded with tips that helped detectives identify Navarro.
During a search of Navarro"s home on Browns Valley Road, police said they found clothing linking him to the crimes.
Navarro, who police said has lived in the area for at least 10 years, is employed by a San Jose-based trucking company, assisting drivers at job sites. He was working in Marina at the time of his arrest.
Because Navarro was dispatched to various locations, Solano said it"s possible there are other victims in San Jose and elsewhere in the region. If so, Solano said he hopes media coverage of the arrest will persuade them to speak up.
Police also want to hear from victims who reported incidents in Watsonville but have moved out of the area.
"We"ve removed this individual from the streets, and it"s now safe to come forward," Solano said.
Navarro is being held in County Jail on $155,000 bail.
Police ask anyone with information about the groping cases to call the crime tip line at 831-728-3544 or Lopez at 831-768-3361.

PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 7 (UPI) -- NASA says a small telescope on one of its spacecraft has made a big discovery, an example of a galaxy cluster, one of the rarest and largest galaxy groupings.
The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer has detected one of the massive structures -- a collection of thousands of galaxies bound together by gravity -- NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., reported Thursday.
Such galaxy clusters were created out of seeds of matter formed very early in the universe, and grew rapidly in a phenomenon dubbed inflation, astronomers said.
"One of the key questions in cosmology is how did the first bumps and wiggles in the distribution of matter in our universe rapidly evolve into the massive structures of galaxies we see today," said Anthony Gonzalez of University of Florida, Gainesville, who led the research program using the WISE data. "By uncovering the most massive of galaxy clusters billions of light-years away with WISE, we can test theories of the universe's early inflation period."
The first cluster spotted, MOO J2342.0+1301, is more than 7 billion light-years away, which means astronomers are seeing it as it existed halfway back to the time of the big bang.
It is hundreds of times more massive than our Milky Way, they said.

Big Change in Maine Drug Testing
Loosening the Reins on Maine's Drug Testing Law
Most of you are familiar with Maine's drug-testing statutes, and some of you might have gone through the rigmarole of getting a drug testing policy approved by the Maine Department of Labor (MDOL). Under Maine law, you cannot drug test employees without first having an MDOL-approved policy. Even with an approved policy, however, employers are subject to a host of limitations on when and how they can test employees, as well as what they can do with employees who test positive for a controlled substance. A change in the law could have a major effect on Maine employers that have employees who are covered under federal drug-testing requirements.
Existing law for federally covered employees
Until recently, individuals "subject to substance abuse testing under any federal law" were some of the few employees who could be drug tested in Maine without an MDOL-approved policy. Even those employees, however, were still protected by the rehabilitation requirements of Maine law if they tested positive for controlled substances and could not be terminated on the basis of a single positive test.
New legislation and what it means
New legislation could change the face of Maine's drug-testing landscape. Legislative Document 1241, as originally proposed, would have lessened certain restrictions on when nonfederally covered employees could be drug tested, including after an accident or for probable cause. An amendment, however, changed the legislation to provide that "any employer subject to a federally mandated drug and alcohol testing program . . . and its employees" are exempt from Maine's drug testing laws in their entirety. The bill, as amended, was signed into law by the governor on June 2, 2011, and took effect September 28, 2011.
Any Maine employer with federally covered employees is no longer required to follow Maine's drug-testing statutes for any of its employees (federally covered or otherwise). Instead, it can test all of its employees under the federal standards. The amendment's bill summary supports that interpretation and explains that the language was designed to allow an employer covered by federal requirements "to extend its [federal drug-testing] program to its entire workforce . . . [and] have the same substance abuse policy for all employees."
The good news
Employers that have some employees subject to federal drug-testing requirements (e.g., commercial drivers) no longer have to have an MDOL-approved policy for the rest of their workforce (e.g., secretaries, janitors, office workers, and the like). Now you can test all employees and applicants under your federal policy. If you elect to take that route, you should review your federal drug testing policy, amend it to include all employees, and be sure to communicate to all workers the changes and the end of your old drug-testing policy. It's important to remember that to avoid the MDOL drug-testing requirements you must have at least some employees on your payroll who require federal drug testing.

We've got a few casting stories to share this afternoon. Briefly:
- Chris Pratt is in talks to star opposite Vince Vaughn in the comedy remake of Starbuck.
- Mos Def has joined Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley in the music-themed drama Can a Song Save Your Life?
- X-Men: First Class star Lucas Till is in talks to lead the werewolf film Wolves.
Hit the jump for more details.
First up, Parks and Recreation standout Chris Pratt is in talks to join Vince Vaughn in the currently untitled remake of the French-Canadian comedy Starbuck. The film centers on a middle-aged man who finds out that he fathered 533 children via sperm donation. His life is turned upside down when a few hundred of the donor babies "express an irrepressible need to meet their father." Ken Scott, who directed the original, is onboard to helm the remake for DreamWorks. Variety reports that Pratt will play Vaughn's lawyer, who has kid of his own. Production is set to get underway later this year.
Fresh off a stint on Showtime's Dexter, Mos Def has joined the cast of the music drama Can a Song Save Your Life?. Directed by Once helmer John Carney, the film centers on a washed-up A&R man (Ruffalo) who forms a passionate bond with a young singer-songwriter (Knightley) from out of town, and they try to help each other change their fortunes for the better. Hailee Steinfeld also stars, and Mos Def will play Ruffalo's longtime business partner in the recording industry. He's not the first musician to join the project, as Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green also appear.
Finally, X-Men: First Class star Lucas Till is in talks to lead X-Men screenwriter David Hayter's directorial debut, Wolves. Per Heat Vision, Till would play a young man who transforms into a werewolf and finds himself the person of interest in the murder of his parents. "He goes on the run, eventually arriving at a small town named Lupine Ridge that has a history of supernatural happenings. There he finds the secrets to his past." Steve recently interviewed makeup supervisor Dave Elsey, who described Wolves as "very violent and bloody." He also revealed that the werewolves in this film speak. Producers are eyeing a September start date in Toronto.

Apple, Carriers Start Taking Orders for iPhone 5c
Those wanting one of Apple's colorful new iPhone 5cs can place their orders in just a couple hours' time.
Apple will start taking orders at midnight PT, as will the major U.S. carriers. Apple's online store is down ahead of the move, while AT&T is offering a countdown on its whole site, making it challenging to do much of anything besides wait to order Cupertino's latest.
Although Apple and its partners are taking preorders for the iPhone 5c, there are no preorders for the higher-end iPhone 5s. Both models are slated to hit store shelves next Friday.
Meanwhile, the carriers are doing their best to tout their various advantages. T-Mobile — enjoying its first iPhone launch — is pushing its "un-carrier" approach and low down-payment options, while Sprint is noting its totally unlimited option.
"We are very excited to bring the innovation of iPhone 5S and the fun features of iPhone 5C to our customers paired with the benefit of Sprint's Unlimited 4G LTE plans," Sprint VP David Owens said in a statement.
AT&T, Sprint and Verizon are selling the 16 gigagbyte iPhone 5c for $99 with a new two-year contract. T-Mobile, which is no longer subsidizing phones, is offering an introductory price on the iPhone 5c of no money down and $22 per month for 24 months.

2011 Toyota Tundra, 2011 Ford F-150 Deemed Top Safety Picks By IIHS
After testing five full-size trucks, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety selected the Toyota Tundra and Ford F-150 as Top Safety Picks for 2011.
Becoming a Top Safety Pick requires a vehicle to score a "good" rating in the front, side, rear, and rollover crash tests. Only Ford F-150s built after February 2011 -- when Ford revised the truck's roof structure, allowing it to withstand forces 4.7 times the vehicle's weight -- earn the lofty Top Safety Pick designation. Interestingly, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the 2011 Ford F-150 scored a four-star overall rating out of a possible five stars based upon its own testing.
The Toyota Tundra was also named as a Top Safety Pick, thanks to its previous "good" test scores in the front, side, and rear impact results, along with the ability for its roof to withstand a force of 4.5 times its weight. Like the Ford, the Toyota has a four-star overall safety rating at the NHTSA.
The Nissan Titan is next in line with the IIHS's ratings. The Titan's "acceptable" rating was limited by the truck's strength-to-weight ratio of about 3.6 -- a rating of at least 4 is required for a "good" rating. A current NHTSA rating for the Titan is unavailable, as the agency has yet to test the truck to its revised NCAP standards.
Unfortunately, other full-size pickups didn't fare quite as well in the IIHS' testing. The 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 each earned a "marginal" rating from the IIHS. According to the NHTSA's results, the Silverado earned a four-star overall rating, while the Ram scored three stars overall.

Spoiler warning: it's because the Democrats use the concept of "acceptable losses."
Consider the story of Jim and Patrick Moran… and let us not make this a Democratic/Republican thing. Instead, let us go foreign: imagine that a report had come out that the son of an Australian* politician had been caught viciously beating his girlfriend in a drunken rage. The incident was witnessed by police, who made an arrest (getting assaulted themselves in the process); the victim went to the hospital, and allegedly treated for a skull fracture and a broken nose. Now also imagine that the politician HAPPENED to be a senior figure in his political party, and who HAPPENED to belong to a federal-level legislative body that HAPPENS to have direct oversight over the municipality where the attack took place; and that the politician's son just HAPPENED to be able to plead down from felony assault to regular assault and probation. And, to cap it all off… the victim is in classic fashion sent out to claim that it was all an accident – and then the politician declares the whole thing to be an 'embarrassing situation.'
If all of this happened on the other side of the world, do you think that there would be anybody credible – on either side of the American political spectrum – who would not agree that the politician needed to be investigated?
Anybody? Continue reading Why Jim Moran's son Patrick will get away with domestic abuse.

The heart is a pump. It's divided into a right and left side, each with an upper and lower section. The upper section, called an atrium, receives blood from the body and pumps it through a one-way valve into the lower section, called a ventricle. These valves prevent the backward flow of blood inside the heart. The right side of the heart receives the "blue" oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs where oxygen is added.
This red oxygen-rich blood leaves the lungs and enters the left side of the heart. It's then pumped into the aorta, which distributes it throughout the body to provide necessary oxygen and nutrients for growth and normal body functions. As the body removes oxygen, the now oxygen-poor blood returns back to the right side of the heart and the cycle continues. A wall, called a septum, separates the two sides of the heart. In this way, there is no mixing of the red and blue blood. The heart muscle receives oxygen-rich blood from special blood vessels called the "coronary arteries." The pumping function of the heart is controlled by an internal electrical system much like a battery and internal wires.
What Is Heart Failure?
For a child to grow and develop, the heart needs to maintain normal pump function, to provide optimal blood flow throughout the body. However, sometimes the heart of a child may not function normally. The term "heart failure" describes a heart that's not functioning properly. It does not mean that the heart has stopped working, but that it is not working as well as it should. Heart failure occurs in adults due to effects of smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary artery disease and bad heart valves. It can also occur in newborns, infants, toddlers and teenagers for other reasons. Since heart failure has different causes and outcomes, it's important to recognize how it's diagnosed, treated and even cured in younger children.
There are two primary causes for heart failure in children and adolescents. The first, called "overcirculation failure," occurs when blood mixes inside the heart due to a congenital heart defect. The second, called "pump failure," occurs when the heart muscle becomes damaged and no longer contracts normally.
What Causes Heart Failure in Children?
- Overcirculation Failure: About 1 percent of all newborn infants will have some type of structural heart defect. In some of these defects, there are holes between the right and left chambers inside the heart. Because of these holes, the blue and red bloods mix inside the heart. A defect of blood vessels in the head or other parts of the body (AV malformation) can cause similar mixing of the blue and red blood but outside the heart. Abnormal heart valves can also cause heart failure. An abnormally formed valve that does not close properly causes blood to leak backwards. Rarely, a Strep throat infection can result in damage to otherwise normal heart valves, causing them to leak as well. Finally, low blood (anemia) can also result in heart failure. These defects lead to overcirculation failure. In each instance, an overload blood flow pattern occurs in one or more of the sections of the heart. The normal forward blood flow is interrupted and the heart becomes an inefficient pump.
- Pump Failure: As in the adult, a child's heart may develop pump failure. This can be caused by a virus infection that damages otherwise normal heart muscle or from problems with the coronary arteries that occur from birth or are the result of infection and prevent effective blood flow to the heart muscle itself. Older children and teenagers may complain of becoming tired quickly, especially if a virus infection has caused heart muscle damage. Certain drugs, some necessary to treat other medical problems (like cancer or leukemia) can also damage the heart muscle. The heart's electrical system also may be abnormal from birth or damaged by infection, causing the heart to beat too slow or too fast. Sometimes one of the heart valves does not open properly causing pressure to back up inside the heart chambers. Rarely, severe chest trauma may damage the heart. Children with muscular dystrophy may eventually also develop problems with their heart muscle. In all of these situations, the heart muscle fails to function normally and the heart becomes an inefficient pump.
How Is Heart Failure Identified?
In infants, heart failure often presents with breathing trouble, poor feeding, poor growth, excessive sweating or even low blood pressure. At times, heart failure can look like other problems such as colic, pneumonia, or other respiratory infections. Often parents may note that an infant takes longer to feed or becomes uninterested in feeding after a short time. If heart failure is caused by too rapid a heartbeat, parents may feel the rapid heartbeat through the chest wall when the infant is sleeping or resting quietly.
If your physician suspects that your child may be experiencing symptoms of heart failure, a chest x-ray may help to determine if the heart is enlarged. You also may be referred to a pediatric heart specialist (pediatric or congenital heart cardiologist) for further evaluation and testing. Additional tests can include an electrocardiogram (EKG) to evaluate the heart rhythm or an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) to evaluate heart structure and function. Both of these tests are simple, typically performed in the physician's office or clinic and are not painful for the child. However, depending on the child's age and ability to cooperate, light sedation may be necessary to obtain the best test results.
Sometimes, older children (usually over age 4) may be asked to perform an exercise stress test to evaluate heart-lung function. At times a more detailed and invasive test, called a heart catheterization study, may be required. In this test, a small plastic tube (catheter) is placed inside the heart from a blood vessel in the leg or arm to record pressures and the amount of oxygen in the different parts of the heart. Commonly a small amount of an x-ray dye (contrast) material is injected to make a movie of the heart function and coronary arteries. The child usually receives deep sedation to ensure the best test results. Since this test is performed in a special catheterization procedure room or laboratory, a short admission to a hospital is often necessary.
How Is Heart Failure Treated?
If heart failure is caused by overcirculation due to a congenital heart defect, surgery is often necessary to repair the defect. Often your physician may initially treat your child with medications to help unload the excessive volume, lower blood pressure resistance and allow the heart's pump function to improve. At times your child may need to be hospitalized to begin this treatment. These medications may include diuretics (water pills) and afterload reducers. Since overcirculation causes poor growth, your physician may consider nutritional supplements to ensure that your child is receiving enough calories to compensate for the increased energy requirements. Other dietary changes such as low salt and low fat diets may be discussed. Following appropriate treatment, your child's condition and symptoms may improve. This is called compensated heart failure. However, the underlying cause may persist. If heart surgery is required, you will have the opportunity to discuss the types of surgery or other treatments available.
If the heart failure is caused by pump failure, the same medications listed above may be used. Sometimes other medications that lower blood pressure help the heart pump better. Hospitalization may be necessary to further improve heart function. At times, surgery may also be required, such as replacing a damaged heart valve.
Pump failure caused by too slow a heartbeat often requires a pacemaker. These small battery-operated devices are like tiny computers and are implanted under your child's skin with a small wire connected to the heart. This requires a surgical procedure. Pacemakers remind the heart to maintain a normal heart rate. If the pump failure is caused by the heart beating too fast, your child may require medications to control the heartbeat. At other times, a specialized heart catheterization procedure called radiofrequency ablation may be recommended to correct the abnormal heart rhythm by applying short bursts of radio waves to the area of heart muscle causing the rapid heartbeat.
Rarely, if pump failure is caused by irreversible muscle damage, heart function may not improve with medication but may continue to get worse. In this situation, a special pacemaker, mechanical pump (LVAD) or ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenator) may be necessary to temporarily improve heart pump function. If heart muscle function continues to deteriorate despite therapy, your heart specialist may discuss the need for a heart transplant.
Heart failure can happen to all children. However, it is not necessarily a hopeless condition. Many of the causes can be repaired. It's important that parents and family members understand the causes and treatments of heart failure in children and to ensure that proper medical care is provided. As newer techniques and medications become available, most children with heart failure should be able to grow and lead active lives.

The kit here works well and I am happy that I bought and installed it. Nice filter and induction tube and hoses/clamps. The intake tube that connects from the throttle body to the airbox is somewhat tricky to get in, you really have to position it and snake it in correctly; I loosened some other clamps on the intake manifold side and rotated the throttle body piece upward. I ended up temporarily loosening the throttle body to get the tube into position then repositioned the parts. Runs smoothly!

4) If you using a thermal printer, a barcode will be generated on the cash slips and depoist slips which you can use to call up these slips in re-prints or when deposits are collected. .
November 2005
1) This is a major update > Data integrity further enhanced and the CompuByte Stationery (Two sides split in middle) is now moved to custom stationery and included in the update as a file called i-sta.com. Copy this file to i-sta.bas only if you use compubyte stationery and than compile with sta.exe.
2) Now on X readings you have a list of Credit Cards / Cheques / Tokens(Vouchers). Also after the END key is pressed amount tendered is immediately displayed and you can now accept split payments on a purchase made. This interface ensures correct change handling and has state of art input integrity checking, so day end reconcilaitions are simplified.
3) If your using parameter 178 and tracking serial numbers for cellphones/computers/appliances etc you can now also view these serail numbers on doing a re-print. To check a serial number you insert # (hash) at document reprints F1 and R. You then can seach for a serial number in sales or goods receiving.
4) In the Report Generator you can now also do a command search using the CAT: command to analysis only catalogue items (Thanks to Jeep Clothing). So if you do have a catalogue entry in your stock items you can analyse sales and purchasing of these items (maching that catalogue.)
5) Also in Report Generator you can now analyse sizes according to it's original size matrix (SM:S/M/L/XL) etc. Insert a 1 at size analysis.
6) By setting parameter 184 you can disable insertion of credit card / cheques etc in the NEW interphase.
7) A common question asked is how do you link various codes to one code so that when a specific code is inserted it will call up all subsequent codes (used for hampers or when grouping a number or stock items).
In Special Parameters you insert [LK (followed by all the codes you want to link)
Example :-
You create a goup where all the Hamper codes are in :- Example group 100 will have all the codes for the hampers.
Lets assume Hamper 1 is sold at (at) R10 which has a Plu code 100-1; this hamper has soap Plu 1-1 sold (at) R2 / shampoo Plu 3-2 sold (at) R4 and bath salts as 4-2 sold (at) R8.00 total cost of all three items is R14.00
So if hamper code 100-1 is inserted it shall use all the three items and charge only R10 and not R14. To attain this you create the code 100-1 which has a description of Hamper 1 - Special Discount and in the Special Parameters field you insert [LK 1-1/3-2/4-2] /BC , The slash BC (/BC) is usually used so that it allows you to go below a specific selling margin; Now at the number of units you insert the number of hampers you have created; at the cost of the hamper you insert a zero but at selling you insert -4 (minus four). Now if the hamper is sold it will display the -4 at selling price as the first item than bring up all the hamper items linked to it to total to the hamper value of R10.
Another method can also be used, using the catalogue field, the only difference is you will have to insert H1 (or any short code you want to use) in all the codes linked to it ; so in the above example H1 will be inserted inthe catalogue field in codes 100-1 , 1-1 , 3-2 and 4-2. When you invoice at the PLU code you insert .H1 (a point than H1) to bring up all the linked codes.
If you using sizing matrixes you now can go to your stock package and print stock sheets (scrollable) and it will check if any size matrix is corrupted.
9) Now USB printing works accross all modules without pressing F5 key as long as the USB parameter is set and the bat file that starts the menu or i.bat program has PRN2FILE X:SPOOL in it before the last item is run.
So Whats NEW ! ! !

Hi Everyone!
It seems like information on various local, regional and national genealogy programs is becoming available in a fast and furious manner of late!
The Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) is now making available all of the information related to its upcoming Annual Conference.
This year's 4-day program will take place from August 18, 2010 through August 21, 2010 in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The program is being co-hosted by the East Tennessee Historical Society and the Kentucky Historical Society.
The title of the event is "Rediscovering America's First Frontier".
Please take a look at the following link to the FGS web site that contains all of the information on the conference:
Once you get to the FGS Conference site for information, take a look at the left side of the initial page for a list of sub-links that will take you to the various pieces of conference information that will be at your fingertips. I did not see where the FGS was providing the entirety of the conference information via a PDF file. Instead you can work your way through the conference information section by section via the links for each section.
You will find the following components of the program and the links to get to those pieces of information:
- Registration
- Program
- Focus on Societies
- Speakers
- Keynote
- Special Lectures
- Banquet
- Special Events
- Librarians Day
- APG PMC (Association of Professional Genealogists and Professional Management Conference)
- Hotels and Travel
- Exhibits
- Partners
- Blog
Everything you need to know about this great annual conference is available at your fingertips from the above 2010 FGS Annual Conference link.
I would always encourage fellow genealogists to attend, at some point in their research career, a national genealogical conference of such magnitude. Learning from other researchers is the key to advance your own skills and to be more productive and effective in your own research efforts. The program topics that you will discover at these conferences can be very narrowly "niched". But that "niched" topic may be exactly what you are looking to learn!
A large mult-day conference such as this will be overwhelming. But I can tell you that it will be overwhelming in a very good way!
Even if you do not plan on attending this particular conference I would still encourage you to take a look at all f the conference information, especially the individual programs. It is by doing this that you will see if there is a topic out there that may be of special interest to you that may be the topic that might make your brick wall tumble-down! Take note of it and put it on your "to-do" list to maybe even contact the speaker about the information being presented.
The FGS does a great job in offering such a large annual event.
Take a look at the material. Consider registering. You can register for the entire 4 day program or you can register for anyone of the individual day's programs if you don't or can't be there for all the days. You can save a good amount of program costs if you register for the entire program or for a day's programs by June 1, 2010. After June 1, 2010 the registration costs increase for both the entire conference as well as for the individual day registration.
Take a little bit of time and see all there is about this upcoming FGS Annual Conference in August 2010 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Even if you can't go this time, you will plant the seed in your head to consider future programs

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian prosecutors are conducting wide-ranging checks of hundreds of nongovernmental organizations, as part of what rights activists say are President Vladimir Putin's efforts to stifle dissent and shield the nation from perceived Western influence.
The inspections and searches have targeted up to 2,000 organizations since last month, said Pavel Chikov, a member of the presidential human rights council. The action followed Putin's speech in February before senior officers of the FSB, the main KGB successor agency, in which he urged them to focus attention on groups that receive foreign funding used to "put pressure on Russia."
A team of prosecutors, Justice Ministry officials and tax police spent most of the day Thursday searching the Moscow offices of Memorial, one of Russia's oldest and most respected human rights groups. They were accompanied by journalists from the state-controlled NTV station, which has been used by the Kremlin for hatchet jobs against its political foes.
"This is the result of a directive from the very top, from Mr. Putin personally, to go and deal with all the NGOs that are too independent," Memorial director Oleg Orlov said.
Officials wouldn't comment on the purpose of the visit, but Arseniy Roginsky of Memorial said it could be linked to a recently passed law requiring all nongovernmental organizations with foreign funding that engage in political activities to register as "foreign agents," a loaded term conjuring past Soviet spy mania.
Memorial and other leading Russian NGOs have said they would ignore the law, which they denounced as an instrument for stifling critics with a mixture of repression, fines and inspections.
Chikov said the scale of the government campaign is unprecedented.
"It goes full circle across the whole spectrum," Chikov told The Associated Press. "They're trying to find as many violations as possible."
Putin has long been suspicious of NGOs, especially those with American funding, which he has accused of being fronts for the U.S. government to meddle in Russia's political affairs. After his return to the presidency last May, lawmakers passed the NGO bill along with other repressive laws, including one that broadened the definition of treason to potentially encompass any interaction with foreigners.
The U.S. Embassy in Moscow posted a message on Twitter late Thursday saying: "We are following reports of the unprecedented inspections of NGOs taking place across Russia with great concern." In a second tweet, the embassy said it has asked the Russian government "for clarity as to the reasons behind the actions."
Putin's rhetoric has been part of a broader attempt to draw on nationalist sentiment, which he sees as key to his electoral support, by painting Russia as a target of hostile forces, particularly the United States.
The Kremlin seems particularly rattled by political NGOs, seeing them as an engine behind a series of unprecedented street protests against Putin's rule during the run-up to his re-election. Golos, the nation's main independent vote-monitoring group, which has played a leading role in documenting reports of violations in parliamentary and presidential elections, has had to strip its operations to a minimum for lack of funding. Its regional branch in Samara, a city on the Volga River, has been searched by three separate agencies in the past three months.
Chikov said the prosecutor general's office ordered every region in Russia last month to check all religious, political and social NGOs for violations of Russia's vaguely worded "extremism" law. The law is ostensibly intended to target violent neo-Nazi groups, but has been used against things as wide-ranging as Scientologists and the TV show "South Park," as well as to stamp out dissent.
Memorial is one of about 60 Russian organizations that had depended on funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development. This funding dried up after Russia kicked USAID out of the country last year, but the U.S. made clear that it was not abandoning its support for these organizations.
News website Gazeta.ru cited a prosecutor in St. Petersburg as saying all 5,000 NGOs in the city would be searched.
Members of the rights council sent a letter Thursday to Russia's prosecutor general, saying it has been flooded in recent days with complaints from NGOs and asking for an explanation.
The human rights council said the searches have been carried out by prosecutors, police and the FSB, but also by tax officials, fire inspectors and officials from the labor and health departments, who have nothing to do with enforcing the extremism law.
"Really fighting extremism and trying to scare law-abiding NGOs staff is not the same thing," the council letter said.

Working Load – 350 LBS
Introducing Rollercam®
The traditional Cam Strap has been a staple in gear bags for years. They are easy to use and provide a simple means for positive securement. Rollercam® Technology has finally solved the problem associated with standard cams of not being able to tightened the webbing efficiently and securely.
Current cam strap buckle design consists of a body and a thumb release biased by mechanical springs. The Rollercam® Technology has integrated a roller mechanism, a complex thumb release geometry and multiple springs to allow for a smooth operating cam strap which may be tightened 5-10 times greater than the standard cam. Once you use a Rollercam®, you will never purchase another cam strap ever again.
How it Works
Rollercam® Cam Buckles utilizes new and innovative patented technology for increased performance when using a cam buckle for gear securement. The premise behind the technology lies within the integrated roller and thumb release of the cam body. Figure 1 shows the cross section of a standard cam buckle versus the cross section of the Rollercam®.
When you are securing a cam strap, a maximum force is applied to the cam strap by pulling with your hand and body. When this force is applied in a standard cam, a frictional force is generated between the body and the webbing, reducing the overall ability to securely tighten a standard cam. The pateneted Rollercam® Technology substantially reduces the friction force and allows the webbing to be tightened with ease and a higher force.
By decreasing Frictional Force (Ffriction) through the use of the Rollercam®, the maximum Holding Force (FHold) may be drastically increased. The Rollercam® technology decreases this frictional force resulting in an increased maximum holding force and ease of operation. Table 1 depicts experimental data between the Rollercam® and other standard cams. The shape of the body of the other cams has a drastic effect on the maximum holding force.

Lifestyle Changes to Manage Nutritional Anemia
]]>Main Page]]> | ]]>Risk Factors]]> | ]]>Symptoms]]> | ]]>Diagnosis]]> | ]]>Treatment]]> | ]]>Screening]]> | ]]>Reducing Your Risk]]> | ]]>Talking to Your Doctor]]> | ]]>Resource Guide]]>
Anemia is not really a disease in and of itself. Rather, it is a manifestation of many different conditions, each of which has its own plan of management. However, there are some lifestyle habits that will help to keep you healthy.
Proper nutrition is important for good health. In the case of anemia, the most important nutrients are iron, folic acid, and vitamin B 12 . Talk to your doctor about whether you need to take supplements of one or more of these nutrients.
You can enhance your intake of iron by making sure you get adequate sources of ]]>iron]]> and vitamin C in your diet. Vitamin C increases the efficiency of your body's absorption of dietary iron. Because most grain products in the United States are fortified with ]]>folic acid]]> , consumption of breads and pasta can improve your intake of folic acid.
Anemia stresses your body and under some circumstances may increase requirements for iron by promoting mild blood loss from the bowel. So although exercise is beneficial, you should talk with your doctor before starting an exercise program. Overdoing exercise may place demands on your heart or other organs that would be harmful.
Avoid tobacco products and illegal drugs and drinking excess alcohol. Try to get plenty of rest.
Be aware that nonprescription drugs and natural remedies can play a role in the development or worsening of anemia. For example, ]]>aspirin]]> can irritate the stomach and cause hidden bleeding that results in anemia. Talk with your doctor before taking any nonprescription drugs or herbal remedies.
When to Contact Your Doctor
Until your specific type of anemia is identified, keep in close contact with your doctor and discuss any changes in your routine or your symptoms.

Shaking up the Classroom
For the second year running, a 3rd Grade teacher at the Patricia A. DiChiaro School in Westchester, NY, used Shake-a-Phrase for a Halloween creative writing exercise in her classroom. Mrs. Colacicco, shook up a bunch of Monster-themed Story Starters, printed the individual Starter screens, and engaged her class in a collaborative writer's workshop. Using the story prompts, the students worked together in groups of 2-3, to imagine and write their own creepy and silly story endings. Read more...
