How To Remove Pet Odor
Pets come with lots of love and companionship but, they also come with some very unpleasant odors. And when you're watching television on your couch and smelling bathroom mess, or lying down in bed and smelling wet dog, then you're probably too busy thinking about how to remove the pet odor to spend a lot of time cuddling with them. Well don't think about it anymore! You can get rid of pet urine odor, kennel odor, and any other unpleasant smells that your beloved pet drags in with them. And, you can do it safely and easily too.
If it's pet urine odor that you want to get rid of, you'll first need to clean up the mess, and that's probably going to be the most difficult part of the job. Be sure to entirely soak up any pet mess and to thoroughly wash the area with warm, soapy water. You're never going to get rid of pet urine odor if you don't clean it up entirely so make sure that you get every last drop. Then, if the smell is particularly offensive, open the windows and try to air the room out as much as possible.
Sometimes though, it's not just when pets make a mess that they create bad smells; sometimes it's just from being a pet. This is often the case when it comes to their bedding or their kennels. And that pet odor can be so strong that it fills the entire room. If that's the case, cleaning it will definitely help, but you'll need a little more than that to get the smell out, and keep it out.
If you've already tried to fight the battle of bad pet smell, you've probably already tried products such as air fresheners and air deodorizers. The problem with these areas is that they don't actually destroy the smell, they simply cover them up with another scent. Eventually, that scent will go away, and the pet odor will be back. These products also won't destroy the cause of the offensive odor, and because of this, the odor will continue to be an ongoing problem as well.
Come read our testimonials and find out how this product alone has helped so many pet owners just like yourself! You'll be amazed at just how many pet odors there are, and the effectiveness of this product at eliminating all of them!

While much of the media noted the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9th, Marion Smith, the executive director of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation in Washington, D.C. recently took to the pages of The Wall Street Journal and reminded the world that communism remains the malevolent force that it has always been. "As important as the fall of the Berlin Wall was, it was not the end of what John F. Kennedy called the 'long, twilight struggle' against a sinister ideology," writes Smith. "By looking at the population statistics of several nations we can estimate that 1.5 billion people still live under communism." This evil is a daily, present force for misery abroad still, yet it goes on ignored or downplayed by the American media.
While there have been roughly 100 million dead victims of communism, according to the authoritative Black Book of Communism, its totalitarian regimes have failed to generate the widespread fear and loathing associated by most of our liberal news media organizations and by Hollywood with Nazi Germany. Smith adds 400 million abortions from China's one-child policy to the death toll that communism has wrought worldwide.
But Nazis continue, some 70 years after the death of Adolf Hitler, to be the evil, totalitarian force that Hollywood falls back on to incite fear and loathing. The Nazis certainly were that, and deserve that judgment from history. The Holocaust, in which some six million Jews were murdered, stands as one of the singular atrocities in history. But other than Hollywood's decision to give an Academy Award for best foreign film in 2006 to "The Lives of Others," which depicted life in the Communist police state of East Germany, Hollywood has, both in TV and on the screen, largely ignored the blight on the 20th and 21st centuries that communism was, and continues to be. As a matter of fact, communists are often portrayed as heroic revolutionaries who fought for the common man and social justice, and were unfairly singled out for persecution or assassination by the American government, particularly by conservatives.
"Today, Communist regimes continue to brutalize and repress the hapless men, women and children unlucky enough to be born in the wrong country," writes Marion Smith, who points to China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, and, perhaps, the "most shocking," North Korea. Lives have been lost, tortured, imprisoned, starved—all under the banner of communism. The perpetrators are even nearby, just off the coast of the United States: "In Cuba, a moribund Communist junta maintains a chokehold on the island nation," writes Smith. "Arbitrary arrests, beatings, intimidation and total media control are among the tools of the current regime, which has never owned up to its bloody past."
In 2007, I produced a 30-minute video for AIM that marked the unveiling of the Victims of Communism Memorial in Washington. You can view it here. It includes comments by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), former Rep. Tom Lantos (D-CA), and former President George W. Bush.

>Sunday news and notes…
>Good morning everyone.
Baseball the big story today as two Mount Si graduates are swinging some good lumber, helping their teams out. On Friday, North Bend's Ian Atkinson got his first home run for Missouri Western Friday in an 11-10 loss to Kansas's Fort Hays State in game one of a twinbill. Atkinson homered in the seventh inning with a runner on off of FHSU reliever Garrett Morgan. The junior continued his tear in the nightcap of the day, a 12-8 loss by MOW to FHSU. Atkinson went 3-5 with an RBI.
Yesterday, it was fellow Wildcat Derek Aldrich's day to swing the stick. In the first game of a twinbill with Menlo, Aldrich went 1-4 with a run scored and RBI in an 11-5 GFU win, then in the nightcap, the junior went 1-3 with 3 RBIs and two runs scored as GFU rolled to a 15-5 blowout.

>Saturday news and notes….
>Good Saturday morning. Hope you all enjoyed our video clip yesterday.
Anyway, here's what's on the plate this morning.
-College women's hoops last night in San Diego saw UCSD rip Humboldt State 86-51 in the final regular season game for both teams. Caitie Richards (HSU/Fr/Snoqualmie) got to start, and she finished with three points. Humboldt opens the playoffs at home next week against CSU Monterey Bay.
-The cooler leads off with a sad, but very important, story that all of you parents must read. Warning: the story is graphic, and reader discretion is advised. The item, from the Orange County Register, talks about the sudden death of a star high school softball player, and what that has meant to her family and friends. This will be an interesting story to watch since this could also be a wakeup call for a lot of folks as well.
-More on that basketball brawl from South Carolina, as punishments were announced yesterday for that incident earlier this week, according to the Greenville News. Also, according to the News, both teams were summoned to meet with state high school sports officials at their offices, and as part of that, received a talking-to about sportsmanship from two former college football coaches and a local state lawmaker. First time we've heard of such a thing, but we think that was a good idea. Thoughts?
-Another night on the ice for North Bend native Zach Brooks, and we were there to see this by the way. Here's the box score for the game in Everett which he officiated between the Silvertips and Tri-City Americans, won by the Americans in a shootout. 2-1 in that session, 4-3 the final score.
Great game by both teams, as Everett rallied with three in third to overcome early 2-0 hole. TC tied game with 30 seconds left, then game went to OT and shootout. Clayton Cumiskey of the Silvertips had 2 goals and an assist, and those of you who are NHL fans should know he is the younger brother of Colorado Avalanche player Kyle Cumiskey, who is having a solid season with that team.
Anyway, the highlight of the night was our discovery of a "Zach Brooks Fan Club." And we have the sign here to prove it. A couple of Silvertips fans who occupy front-row seats along the rink put this together, for what reason we have no clue. The sign we have here says "Linesman Brooks Fan Club," in reference to the fact Brooks works as a linesman in the Western Hockey League, which is the league both the Everett and Tri-City teams play in. One would think refs are the most disliked people in a sporting event, but this certainly changes that…. Good stuff.
Light weekend for club action, but we have some college stuff for you as the weekend goes on. So stay here and we'll keep you updated.
>Here it is, in living color. "The Shot."
What you see here, ladies and gentlemen, is what we have been promising you all week. This is the first time we have uploaded video to this blog, and this is certainly worthy of that history. This is "The Shot" by Mount Si girls' basketball player Haley Chase which won the game at the buzzer against Liberty February 16. We thank Brooks Malberg, Mount Si videographer for this. With that, enjoy.
>Around the lunch table…..
>This one is a good one for Mount Si administrators to chomp on and offer their thoughts, so if any of you are reading, please post your thoughts on this topic in the comments.
We told you yesterday about that brawl which happened following the playoff boys' basketball game in Greenville, SC. Well, according to the Greenville News, high school basketball coaches in that part of the state could look at making a radical change in response to this: getting rid of the postgame handshake. Huh?
>Random thoughts on this Friday…..
>A couple of short commentaries for you.
-First, thoughts on last night: Mount Si's boys played a competitive game against a team that we had felt would be a very difficult challenge. Franklin showed why they are among the best in the state year in and year out with their strong second half effort which helped them beat the Wildcats. Mount Si appeared to have taken control at halftime, but the Quakers made adjustments and those changes paid off in the second half. And you can owe that to their coach, Jason Kerr. Kerr is one of the state's top high school coaches, and he showed why last night. Franklin played strong defensively in the second half, especially in the back court, and they were able to translate that into a good offensive effort. Kerr has his team well-prepared, and this Quaker team will be a threat going forward. The Franklin-Rainier Beach semi next Tuesday will be something to see. We would anticipate a sold-out gym at BCC for that one next week.
As for the Wildcats, the feeling of dejection is understandable, but everyone knew going in that this would not be easy at all. Coming into this tournament, there were eight legitimate state contenders from this district, and six of those were Metro teams. The Metro League is the toughest league in the state, and they showed it again yesterday. Kingco, in addition to Mount Si's loss, went 0-3 (both Bellevue and Juanita's girls teams fell to Metro opponents as well).
We can argue all day about changing the system to make it easier for Kingco teams to compete and get to state in basketball, but as long as there are as few schools as there are in this conference compared to Metro, and as few schools in Kingco as there are that are good as some of these top Metro schools, this will continue to be an issue.
Wildcats play O'Dea at home Tuesday at 7:00 in a rematch of a January game which Mount Si lost by one point at home.
-Many of you have heard or seen by now the stories in the media about Mercer Island's Northwest Yeshiva High School and their girls basketball team having made state, but being forced to forfeit their tournament run yesterday due to a school religious observance. Here's our sister paper the Mercer Island Reporter's story on them for those who don't know the story.
Our thoughts would be that both sides are in the right. Northwest Yeshiva, an Orthodox Jewish school – and the first school of their faith in the state to advance a team to a state tournament, according to several accounts – was fulfilling its religious responsibilities by observing a fast which took place yesterday; this fast prevented them from even drinking water, which the school rightly felt would put the athletes in jeopardy. The school tried to work a solution out with the WIAA, but to no avail, largely because the association was concerned, again rightly so, with the potential impacts to other teams in the event.
There was an easy workable solution to this, and that was to switch the times of the winner's and loser's bracket games. But again, the association's concerns about impacts for other schools won out in the end, hence the forfeit.
So, what now? This, according to WIAA boss Mike Colbrese in an interview with Q13, was the first time this type of thing has been an issue. Should a policy be implemented in the future to deal with what we are calling specific needs for specific schools when it comes to tournament scheduling? We would say no, since we doubt this is an issue that will be coming up every year. But, we would suggest that if a policy needs to be implemented, we would suggest the following:
In this type of case, the WIAA and requesting school work to come up with a workable solution, but once such a solution is agreed upon, the WIAA must get the consent of other schools impacted by this change, which in this case would have been the seven other schools in that half of the girls' draw. Schools' coaches, athletic directors and principals must all sign off on the change, and if one of those people from a school says no, then the school as a whole would be saying no. All schools would have to sign off on the proposed solution in order for it to occur.
Such a policy in our view would shift the public criticism, and possible lawsuits, away from the association and into the laps of these schools, and you know these schools would have full incentive to say yes because if they say no, they would be likely in for a PR nightmare.
If the school and its lawyer, which Q13 reported the school has hired, want to see changes, we would support their efforts. Nothing, however, is likely to be discussed by the association until their next executive board meeting, next month. Including whether the school could be sanctioned for their forfeit yesterday, which is a different deal in itself.
As we just mentioned, if you look at the Q13 story, you'll see that they reported Northwest Yeshiva has hired a lawyer, and we would guess this is to be ready to roll with the WIAA should the school be sanctioned by the association for yesterday's decision. We hope the WIAA doesn't make the mistake of sanctioning the school, and instead look to come up with a fair solution for all involved that covers future situations of this type. Sanctioning the school would in our view invite a needless legal headache for the association, one which we would expect they would not win. So just don't go there, folks. Work with the school, not against them, and make things fair for everyone involved.
Thoughts? Discuss.
>Around the lunch table today…..
>We have this from the Greenville News in South Carolina, where high school athletic officials are looking into what happened following a playoff boys' basketball game last night between Greenville Southside and Abbeville (S.C.) high schools. Southside won the game over Abbeville, who coming in had not lost this season, and after the game a brawl took place. There's video of it, too, courtesy of WYFF, the NBC station down there.
Watch the video, and discuss. What kind of punishments should players from both teams face, and also fans of both schools as well?
>The rest of the bracket for the next two days as we see it….
>You've seen what we think about today's Wildcats boys game, now let's talk about the rest of the games.
O'Dea vs. Rainier Beach (8:15) – This will be the feature matchup of the next two days as these two perennial Metro rivals meet tonight to see who advances to the semis. O'Dea won a hard-fought game with Mercer Island Tuesday, so they already should be in playoff mode, which could make this game very interesting. Dustin Watts (15.0 ppg/Seattle Times) leads the Irish against a very good RB squad which has only lost three times all season, all to Oregon squads over the holidays. That team has been one of the best all season, and they beat O'Dea earlier this season. This will be a good game, so head down and watch. We think RB will get this one tonight.
Mount Si's boys will be there scouting most likely, since their next opponent comes from either of these teams so whatever happens with them today, there's no rest for the weary next time out.
Sammamish vs. Chief Sealth (4:45) – We have been watching Sealth with much concern as of late, because they are starting to become as good as they were in 2006, when Mount Si nearly lost to them at districts. The Seahawks have beaten most of the good Metro teams at least once this season, and we would assume are probably similar to that '06 team, athletic, and able to make tough shots.
We were hoping Mount Si wouldn't draw Sealth, because we were concerned about a repeat of that '06 near-heartbreaker. But we are happy to see Sammamish get them, because we think of any of the Kingco teams in this event, the Totems match up the best with this Sealth team. Sammamish held on to beat Bainbridge Tuesday, and really, at this point, are playing their best basketball of the year, largely because no one expects them to make any statement in this event. Anthony Do and Danny Wruble lead this Sammamish squad, which will need to shut down Sealth's Tomas Ogbaslassie (16.1 ppg/Seattle Times) for them to have a chance.
On our board we have Sealth, but here we will say this one is a toss-up. But Sealth has beaten more good teams thus far, so we would give the advantage to the Seahawks. But this one will be close, and could be an OT special.
Seattle Prep vs. Bellevue (8:15) – Everyone knows about Aaron Bright, the Stanford-bound star from Bellevue. But Prep has a two-pronged attack, led by DJ Fenner (18.7 ppg/Seattle Times) and Mitch Brewe (16.0 ppg). And this is a Panther team that might have a little chip on its shoulder after nearly being sent packing by a hungry Lakeside team Tuesday night. Bellevue can not get caught looking past their opponent in this one. Bright of course is the big name, but we also liked the play of Kendrick VanAckeren, who scored a dozen in the Kingco title victory over the Wildcats last Friday. And then there's Nate Sikma, who was shut down (just five points) by Mount Si last Friday, who will be matched up against that Fenner/Brewe duo inside. If Sikma does the job we expect, we think the Wolverines will get it done. Bellevue in a close one tonight.
Cleveland vs. Bellevue (3:00) – Cleveland comes in off a win over Bishop Blanchet, and draws a Bellevue team who has had a week to prepare, and knowing how Wolverines coach Ron Tinnin likes to scout, should have a good idea of what to expect. The Eagles will be facing their toughest opponent since the nonleague schedule and their game with Oregon City, so experience will be key. Bellevue is led by seniors Alyssa Gilbert and Kelly Meggs, and they have been one of the tougher teams in Kingco this season. We would expect postseason experience to become the factor in what we think could be a close game, and Bellevue in our view has the advantage here, so we look for the Wolverines to move on.
Juanita vs Holy Names (4:45) – The Rebels take on a Holy Names team which has rolled to a 20-2 record, with many of their wins being of very convincing fashion. The Cougars' two losses this year came against Kingco 4A teams, so that should give the Rebels a little bit of hope. They will need senior Kimberly Baba and sophomore Kate Cryderman once again to lead the way; those two were Juanita's top scorers in the win Tuesday at Franklin. But if the Cougars shut them down, it will be a long night. Holy Names has a balanced offense led by Clare Conricode (14.1 ppg/Seattle Times stats), so Juanita's defense will be in for a battle. We expect the Rebels to give Holy Names a good test anyhow, but we also think the Cougars simply have too many weapons on offense, and we favor HN in this one.
Nathan Hale vs. Seattle Prep (3:00) – These two teams met earlier this season, with Prep winning handidly. We would suspect the same as well, especially if their top scorer, Kari Luttinen (19.3 ppg/Seattle Times) has a good day. But another player to watch has a familiar last name to local hoop historians: McMillan. Yes, ex-Sonic great Nate's daughter Brittany plays for Prep, and at just under 10 points a game is their second-leading scorer. But if Luttinen gets into trouble, we would expect B-Mac to step in and help out.
We were impressed with the play of Gabby Evans the other night for Hale in their win over the Wildcats, and while Kaylin Hudson was shut down for the most part thanks to foul issues, we would expect Hudson to be busy tonight for the Raiders. Hale as we told you the other night is well-coached, and their win against Mount Si, especially after surviving a tough second half, should give them some confidence going forward. But at the end of the day, head-to-head matters, and Prep has that one in its corner, so we take the Panthers.
Lakeside vs Mercer Island (6:30) – MI will be in for a challenge, as Lakeside comes in off a good win Tuesday against Bainbridge. The Lions fell to Mount Si earlier this season, but is a good team that is looking to peak at just the right time. The Islanders will need the scoring of Hailey Gullstad and the solid play of Jae Shin and Kate DaPron among others to have a chance to succeed, which we think they will. It will not be easy, but we expect an Islander win.

For those upset that the budget debate is getting ever further removed from the real world problems of an economy that is suffering from a deficit of 9 million jobs, there is good news. The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) has produced a budget that is intended to make the unemployment situation better rather than worse.
The story of course is that we are still in a situation where we need the government as a source of demand in the economy. This is independent of how much we like the government or the private sector. The private sector does not expand and create jobs just because governments want it to, as is being discovered now by leaders in the United Kingdom, Greece, Italy, Spain and everywhere else where deficit reduction is now in vogue. In the current economic situation, loss of demand from the government is a loss of demand to the economy. That is why recent steps to reduce the deficit, such as the ending of the payroll tax cut (which put money in consumers' pockets) and the sequester, will lead to slower growth and higher unemployment.
The CPC decided to produce a budget that recognized this reality. It provides for a mix of short-term measures aimed at immediate job creation, such as jobs programs and additional money to defray state and local government revenue shortfalls, along with an ambitious long-term infrastructure agenda. According to estimates from the Economic Policy Institute this agenda would create 6.9 million additional jobs by the end of next year compared to the CBO baseline scenario.
The CPC also include measures that should make any serious deficit hawk happy. On the spending side they want savings from cutting the military budget, reducing payments to drug companies under Medicare, and establishing a public option in the health care exchanges that will go into place next year under the Affordable Care Act.
On the tax side, they propose eliminating a number of special interest tax breaks, establishing higher tax marginal tax brackets (up to 49 percent) for very high income households, a higher estate tax (55 percent) for the richest of the rich, and imposing a financial speculation tax and a carbon tax. The net effect of these policies stimulate now, cut later, and result in a deficit that is just over 1.0 percent of GDP by the middle of the decade and a debt to GDP ratio that is on a clear downward track.
The Serious People will undoubtedly claim that the CPC budget is not politically realistic and use this fact as an excuse for ignoring it. But this is a case of a serious double-standard. Does anyone believe that the middle class tax increases implied by the Ryan budget's ending of deductions (which he will not even identify) are politically realistic? How about his plans for cutting Medicaid by close to 40 percent?
Clearly political realism is not a criterion used in determining whether a budget proposal deserves attention. The public would do well to focus on the substance of the CPC budget and its rationale. The Washington insider crew is a tough lot to crack, but even they can sometimes be moved by a combination of evidence and public opinion.

All kids have to learn how to "play well with others." Even the most socially aware child will encounter a hurdle or two. For parents and teachers of children with special needs, ordinary "bumps in the road" to healthy societal acceptance can seem like insurmountable obstacles.
The James Stanfield Company recognizes this, and in an effort to give all children a fighting chance to operate comfortably within social situations, has created the nation's number-one library of research-based behavior management programs. The entire Stanfield collection is designed to give even the most socially challenged child the tools that can make life–be it in pre-school, kindergarten, middle school, high school and beyond–a little more manageable.
Our BeCool VideoModeling® conflict management programs, for instance, concentrate on helping individuals cope with teasing, bullying, and anger–both the anger of others directed at them and their own. We use humor, and lots of it, knowing that studies prove people learn best when they're laughing. Stanfield BeCool programs include videos, parent/teacher guides, and–in many cases–interactive CDs with multiple games that give kids the chance to practice the "BeCool" mindset in a variety of real-world scenarios.
The BeCool VideoModeling® programs teach how to recognize and identify feelings and how to respond to them in positive, emotionally healthy, and self-loving ways. The results are better social skills, a higher sense of personal self-esteem, and a more emotionally intelligent mindset.
If you'd like to receive a Stanfield VideoModeling® catalog or speak to one of our highly trained staff, call 1-800-421-6534 or email email@example.com.
The child who is 'left behind' most is the one who leaves school without transition readiness.

Dear Mr. Vanity,
You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you. But reflecting on (what I perceived as) your vanity, I realized that maybe you were just ahead of your time. I guess the shape of vices change with time too, because if I were to transport your actions into this selfie era, I'd probably think nothing of it. But what is it then that made me call out your vanity all those years ago? Continue reading

Rapping over superhero music will make any emcee sound good. The X-The Detective produced beat for "Blitzkreig" is definitely superhero music but Lord Jessiah, Drugs The EmCee and All-Wise do fantastic jobs with their verses. They come with a Wu-Tang-esque flow which works great with the beat.

suggested headline: How Many Andrews Are Out There?
Hutchinson police and Reno County sheriff's officers are increasingly being confronted by cases involving mental health and drug plagued individuals who really shouldn't be in jail but under some form of treatment. Unfortunately, for public safety, jail and criminal charges are often the only practical way of dealing with those who have little or no means of handling their problems; are without a job or insurance, homeless or estranged from family to a point where they cannot get financial or personal assistance.
I had an opportunity to personally see one of the many examples of these problems recently while riding with HPD. Names and cities are changed to protect privacy but make no mistake, this situation is real and typical of similar cases encountered almost daily by local authorities.
A 911 call comes from a concerned mother in another town. Her 23 year old son (we'll call him Andrew) has a history of drug problems, has come to Hutchinson but his car has broken down and is out of gas. She reports he is possibly armed with a gun and knives, suicidal and threatening to blow up his car. He is located sitting in his vehicle near a local convenience store. He is ordered at gunpoint (remember, the officer has been told he is armed and possibly has an explosive device) to get out with his hands in plain view. Fortunately, he quickly complies, is handcuffed and interrogated.
He is cooperative, frustrated, angry, and starts to cry. A search shows no weapons, no drugs, no explosives but a needle in his pants pocket which he warns the officer about as he is patted down. He later admits to using meth, having "shot up" the previous day and appears to be coming down from a high. He is homeless, has no money, says he hasn't eaten in four days except for stealing a convenience store snack and later being given something to eat by the store. He knows no one in Hutchinson, is angry with his mom and family members who he says accuses him of being on drugs when he is not and won't listen to his problems. He has worked in the past at an oil field job making $2,000 per week but has lost that and other jobs, probably because of his drug problems, which started when invited to snort from a broken light bulb at age 14.
At the hospital, where he is taken for protective custody and evaluation, a Horizon's Mental Health staffer reviews his history and offers admission for treatment. She warns it won't be easy, will take work and willpower but at least he will have a safe place and some food along with time to start turning around his life. He hasn't had a shower in 10 days and has been sleeping in his car. He is clearly at this end of his rope emotionally and financially. I lose contact on whether he is still in treatment, has progressed or slipped back into old habits. Throughout 3 hours of hospital waiting and during initial street contact police show concern and empathy, Hutchinson Regional Medical Center and Horizons perform admirably. Officers keep the mother informed by phone.
I admit to having an unusual interest in this story. In another city, I know a boy, about the same age, with amazingly similar problems involving pain killing drugs, no job, criminal history, a fractured and estranged immediate family, homeless, sometimes living out of a car but now without transportation, sometimes associating with highly questionable people in a ghetto setting. Numerous past efforts to help with money and advice have seemingly gone without success. I am devastated.
These, friends, are what many of the people in law enforcement, hospitals and mental health professionals are dealing with in today's society. A valuable lifeline is the $410,000 Reno County taxpayers provide annually to Horizons, which recently launched an admirable new program called "mental health first aid" to enable law enforcement to better recognize mental health problems on the street. Tax support for treating mental health issues is a drop in the bucket compared to counseling, medication and other needs.
I am proud of the job local mental health, police and others are doing to help but if often seems like that "little Dutch boy," trying to hold back water from the dam with his finger in an ever expanding hole. We can't stop trying. Much more needs to be done.

Liverpool secure new deals for starlets Marc Pelosi and Cameron Brannagan
LIVERPOOL pair Marc Pelosi and Cameron Brannagan have committed to signing new long-term deals at Anfield.
"Marc Pelosi and Cameron Brannagan commit their future to Liverpool by signing long-term deals."
Versatile midfielder Pelosi joined Liverpool in 2011 after impressing in the FIFA Under 17 World Cup with the USA, where he captained his nation to the last 16.
The 19-year-old is currently out of action with a broken leg, but has shown enough promise and has been rewarded with a long-term professional contract.
Unlike Pelosi, Brannagan has come through the ranks at the Reds and has established himself as a vital part of the Under-21s squad this term, a side that has won five of their eight outings, and has earned himself his first professional contract.
The box-to-box midfielder, 17, has been impressive form this season, with three goals to his name already, and along with Pelosi is touted to be the future of Brendan Rodgers' side.

Ahead of London Fashion Week, which begins today and runs until Tuesday, leading global consumer intelligence firm Mintel has published research suggesting that fashion e-commerce firms are "pushing all the right buttons" with UK consumers. Sales of clothing and footwear in the UK have exceeded £10 billion this year, a year-on-year increase of 14.5 per cent. Sales are expected to reach £19 billion by 2019, as online sales now account for around 17 per cent of total fashion spending (up from 13 per cent in 2011).
Tamara Sender, Senior Fashion Analyst said: "The market for online fashion continues to see robust growth as consumers become more accustomed to shopping online. Increased participation in shopping via smartphones and tablets has helped to bolster sales as consumers look to shop for clothes anytime and anywhere". Although growth has slowed slightly from its peak of 19 per cent in 2012 as the market begins to mature, the outlook is still good for the industry.
While the majority of people (86 per cent) still use their laptops or desktop computers to buy fashion online, e-commerce behaviour is changing and more shoppers than ever are using mobile devices (13 per cent). Furthermore, almost half of consumers (44 per cent) have click-and-collected clothes in the last 12 months, and men are almost as likely to use click-and-collect as women – a significant development from last year when click-and-collect was almost exclusively used by women. Sender added, 'As consumers combine different channels to shop for clothes, retailers have to ensure that shopping is truly seamless and that they give customers a consistent shopping experience whatever channel they choose to use".
In spite of the growth in online sales, customers have made it very clear that they still favour multi-channel formats, especially when it comes to returning clothes. Over a third of women say they prefer to return unwanted items to a bricks-and-mortar store, and this remains a key obstacle to many shopping online. Sender said that familiarity with a shop and experience of their sizing helps, which "benefits multichannel retailers and means that pureplays have to work hard to gain trust and loyalty from customers".
As Londoners prepare their wardrobes for London Fashion Week, the British Fashion Council has offered fashionistas the chance to watch many of the shows this year from the comfort of their living room. Shows such as Whistles and Holly Fulton have gone one step further, streaming the shows from their own stores where they will offer drinks, a live DJ and limited edition products to create the feel of a live show.
Organised by the British Fashion Council, London Fashion Week takes place twice a year in autumn and spring, and is considered to be one of the 'Big Four' fashion shows, ranked alongside New York, Paris and Milan. It is one of the biggest trade events held in London, attracting over 5,000 visitors, and is currently sponsored by Mercedes Benz and Toni & Guy.

Another Surfer Killed by Shark Near Acapulco
Less than a month after 24-year-old Adrian Ruiz of San Francisco died after being bitten by a shark while surfing off Troncones beach in Acapulco, another surfer has been attacked and killed by a shark just 6 miles away. Osvaldo Mata Valdovinos, 21, was attacked Friday while surfing off Pantla beach, which is located west of Acapulco. The species of shark involved is not yet known.
This continues a string of attacks at beaches not typically known for these types of encounters with sharks. Exactly four weeks ago, Dr. David Martin was taken by what is said to be a 17 ft. Great White while swimming off of Solana Beach in San Diego. The following week saw the death of Ruiz by a shark whose identity is still being debated, many suspect it was a tiger while Mexican authorities claim it was a reef shark.
Aside from the tragic and unexpected life of another fellow surfer, this second attack near Acapulco is sure to escalate the tensions between those with two very different views on how to react. The response following the Ruiz attack by the Mexican authorities raised an incredible firestorm of opposition. The day after the attack, baited hooks were set to catch any sharks in the area without discretion. Environmentalists vehemently opposed the hunt and demanded that authorities post signs in the area's beaches warning about sharks as an alternative to shark-slaughtering.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the loved ones of Osvaldo Mata Valdovinos. We will keep you posted as more information is obtained

All My Children and One Life to Live have been cancelled. Although I am a General Hospital fan,I have always thought of AMC and OLTL as siblings or at least cousins to my beloved GH. Not to mention, I did watch all three of them when I was pregnant with my firstborn, and even watched all three well until his toddler years. But 3 straight hours of soaps started to feel a bit extreme. I felt selfish, and even a bit guilty as I would be glued to the T.V., my little son on my lap with his lambie and blankie. NO housework getting done at all!!! Yup, 3 hours was too much. So I had to cut back. I also started working, and there was no such thing as DVR 17 years ago.
Fast forward to 2011. My DVR list is FULL! I don't know what I would do without it. And General Hospital won out as my top pick soap. Sorry AMC and OLTL. I gave you up a long time ago, but you were never forgotten.
That is all I feel like writing about today. Oh,and my daughters have been very, very pleasant lately. I have really enjoyed their company, and quite frankly I think they have actually enjoyed mine. I also had a wonderful day on Sunday with my 17 year old son. Mother and son, laughing, eating Western Bacon Cheeseburgers, talking as if we were lifelong friends. Yes, great week had by all. Oh, and to add a positive note for my four year old. She found her beloved Whiskers the dog under the couch (stuffed animal,not real dog f.y.i.), and her pre-school sweatshirt that she thought was gone "forevwa" (forever in 4 year old talk) wound up found!! By ME!! In the lost and found!! Yes, great week!
Well, great week except for the people of Pine Valley and Llanview. :( Sorry guys!
There is always room for humor in our day to day lives. Sometimes even your worst day can sound humorous when told days later as a 'story'. In this blog, I will re-tell the 'stories' of my day. With four kids, a husband, a cat, a part time job in an office, and a full time job as a Mama, believe me, I will have stories to tell. So if you are interested, read on. You may find you are chuckling a bit, relating alot, and if nothing else, you may be slightly entertained.

Preoperative localisation of pulmonary ground-glass opacity using medical adhesive before thoracoscopic resection
- 257 Downloads
To evaluate the safety and efficiency of computed tomography (CT)-guided medical adhesive, α-cyanoacrylate, for preoperative localisation of pulmonary ground-glass opacity (GGO) used for guiding the video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical (VATS) excision
The procedure was performed on 188 consecutive patients with solitary GGO (pure GGO = 90 cases; mixed GGO = 98 cases) prior to the thoracoscopic procedure. The complications and efficacy of this method were analysed. The resected GGO was analysed pathologically.
The mean duration of the procedure was 16.3 ± 5.2 min. The preoperative localisation was 100% successful. All GGOs were successfully resected by VATS. Asymptomatic pneumothorax was developed in 16/188 patients (8.5%) and mild pulmonary haemorrhage occurred in 15 cases (7.9%) post-localisation. None of the patients required any further treatment for the complications.
Preoperative localisation using CT-guided medical adhesive, α-cyanoacrylate, is a safe and short-duration procedure, with high accuracy and success rates with respect to VATS resection of GGO.
Key Points
• Preoperative localisation is crucial for successful resection of GGO by VATS.
• Preoperative adhesive localisation provides an up to 100% successful localisation rate with few complications.
• Preoperative adhesive localisation enabled VATS resection in 100% of the GGO.
• Preoperative adhesive localisation is safe and effective for VATS resection of GGO.

GOP: NO DEAL! TRIAL! Panel hits Rangel with 13 alleged ethics charges
House investigators accused veteran New York Rep. Charles Rangel of 13 violations of congressional ethics standards on Thursday, throwing a cloud over his four-decade political career and raising worries for fellow Democrats about the fall elections.
The allegations — which include failure to report rental income from vacation property in the Dominican Republic and to report more than $600,000 in assets on his congressional financial disclosure statements — came as lawyers for Rangel and the House ethics committee worked on a plea deal.
One was struck, people familiar with the talks said, but Republicans indicated it was too late.
The deal between the lawyers will have little meaning if the committee members don't approve it, and Republicans said at the proceeding they were insisting on going forward with a trial. The panel is evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans.
"Mr. Rangel was given multiple opportunities to settle this matter. Instead, he chose to move forward to the public trial phase," said Rep. Jo Bonner of Alabama, the senior Republican on the ethics panel
Chairman Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., has made clear that she wants the committee to be unanimous — leaving little chance for agreement without Rangel capitulating on virtually all counts.
Many Democrats had urged Rangel to settle the case to avoid the prospect of televised hearings right before November congressional elections that will determine which party controls Congress next year.
However, as Friday's public airing of the charges drew nearer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi seem resigned to the case proceeding. READ MORE...

Commercial Product Group Helps J.J. Collins With CtP Decision, Picks Fujifilm
Monday, November 18, 2002
CHICAGO, IL - It's good to know time-tested relationships are still meaningful in the printing industry. In a day and age where instant gratification is met by the cheapest price, it is not the route to doing business at J.J.Collins Printers. The long time family-run Illinois company has worked with affiliates of Commercial Product Group (CPG), a division of A.B.Dick Company, for over 30 years. When J.J.Collins needed a Computer-to-Plate large format platesetter, CPG recommended Fujifilm's 8-page Violet Saber Luxel Vx-9600. Selecting the right equipment has never been more important than in recent times. Faced with a poor economy and technology advancements that seem to alter the playing field over- night, companies must be diligent in their research and preparation for future business. J.J. Collins will celebrate 125 years of business in 2003, in part due to their ability to analyze and take stock of what trends have developed and where they will lead the company. "We've been thinking about upgrading our CTP capabilities for almost two years," revealed company president Jim Collins. "We looked at the Saber about a year ago but the hold up was it didn't cover all of our sizes. We looked at other CTP devices but nothing matched. In mid-2002 the people at CPG told us the Vx-9600 was exactly what we were looking for, so it became more attractive to us." CPG consists of skilled graphics professionals who help guide over 100 Midwest customers through vendor partnering, pressroom problem-solving and technical troubleshooting, among others. CPG represents Fujifilm and other manufacturers such as Creo. J.J. Collins is a true American success story. Founder John Joachim Collins, a printer by trade, left Cincinnati for Chicago and worked at Rand McNally Co. before starting his own printing company in 1878. The company prospered with the times and came to establish key relationships with major Chicago companies and corporations. Sales, prepress, and design are handled at its suburban corporate office in Woodridge. But all manufactur-ing, warehousing, and distribution take place 170 miles away in downstate Charleston, mak- ing it imperative to be correct when it comes to capital investments. "Any technology that allows us to be more seamless is important, considering the three hours in distance between our plants. There was a learning curve but the timing was perfect. The Vx-9600 is making us be more consistent in the pressroom and we have realized a major cost-savings. We are getting better quality, quicker make-readies, and our proofs and printed pieces are more accurate," said Collins, whose customer base includes Fortune 500 financial, insurance and hospitality companies, and office supplies superstores. The Saber Luxel Vx9600's plate loading flexibility gives J.J. Collins support regardless of whether they use their five-color Perfecting heatset web press, or the eight-color UV multi-sized web for printing point-of-purchase pads, hotel pads, laser cut sheets, direct mail and office products. "This device is exceptionally user-friendly, especially with plates," confirmed Collins, who said his prepress department produces about 150 plates a week. Commercial Product Group is a division of A.B.Dick Company, a leading worldwide supplier to the graphic arts and printing industry which manufactures and markets equipment and supplies for all stages of document creation.

California's Destructive Green Jobs Lobby
Silicon Valley, once synonymous with productivity-enhancing innovation, is now looking to make money on feel-good government handouts..
By GEORGE GILDER
By GEORGE GILDER
California officials acknowledged last Thursday that the state faces $20 billion deficits every year from now to 2016. At the same time, California's state Treasurer entered bond markets to sell some $14 billion in "revenue anticipation notes" over the next two weeks. Worst of all, economic sanity lost out in what may have been the most important election on Nov. 2—and, no, I'm not talking about the gubernatorial or senate races.
This was the California referendum to repeal Assembly Bill 32, the so-called Global Warming Solutions Act, which ratchets the state's economy back to 1990 levels of greenhouse gases by 2020. That's a 30% drop followed by a mandated 80% overall drop by 2050. Together with a $500 billion public-pension overhang, the new energy cap dooms the state to bankruptcy.
Conservative pundits have lavished mock pity on the state. But as America's chief fount of technology, California cannot go down the drain without dragging the rest of the country with it.
The irony is that a century-long trend of advance in conventional "non-renewable" energy—from wood to oil to natural gas and nuclear—has already wrought a roughly 60% drop in carbon emissions per watt. Thus the long-term California targets might well be achieved globally in the normal course of technological advance. The obvious next step is aggressive exploitation of the trillions of cubic feet of low-carbon natural gas discovered over the last two years, essentially ending the U.S. energy crisis.
The massive vote against repeal of the California law—62% to 38%—supports an economy-crushing drive to suppress CO2 emissions from natural gas and everything else. In a parody of supply-side economics, advocates of AB 32 envisage the substitution of alternative energy sources that create new revenue sources, new jobs and industries. Their economic model sees new wealth emerge from jobs dismantling the existing energy economy and replacing it with a medieval system of windmills and solar collectors. By this logic we could all get rich by razing the existing housing plant and replacing it with new-fangled tents.
All the so-called "renewables" programs waste and desecrate the precious resource of arable land that feeds the world. Every dollar of new wages for green workers will result in several dollars of reduced pay and employment for the state's and the nation's other workers—and reduced revenues for the government.
