The Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children's Center opened May 1, 2012. Take a look inside at what families and visitors can expect.Virtual Tour
Maria Oliva-Hemker, M.D.
Navigating childhood and adolescence is tough enough under ideal circumstances. No car, no cash and plenty of homework, not to mention Dad's bad jokes. It's enough to make a kid crazy. Now throw into the mix a chronic disease that can destroy the digestive system and you're standing in the shoes of the young patients seen every day at the Johns Hopkins Pediatric IBD Center.
IBD stands for inflammatory bowel disease, which, like cancer, is actually many diseases grouped under one. The best known IBDs are Crohn's disease, which can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, and ulcerative colitis, which attacks the colon. Even among experienced physicians, IBDs are considered adult diseases– a potentially dangerous assumption, as many of the 140,000 annual pediatric IBD cases often go misdiagnosed for years.
"In the public at large, no one thinks of kids having IBD," says Maria Oliva-Hemker, director of the Pediatric IBD Center. "Even many pediatricians believe IBD is a disease only of adulthood."
The initial symptoms – persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, rectal bleeding and weight loss – can recur each time the disease flares. Controlling these flares is at the heart of Oliva-Hemker's work. With no cure for Crohn's, and only a serious surgical intervention – removal of the colon – for curing ulcerative colitis, medications are usually the first course of treatment. However, such medications often call for frequent dosing throughout the day – not an easy task for families. Indeed, the medication non-compliance rate, according to Oliva-Hemker's latest study in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology & Nutrition (February 2007), is a depressing 33 percent, which helps explain why children suffer repeated outbreaks. Medicines such as steroids and anti-inflammatories effectively push 90 percent of mild to moderate IBD cases into remission, though rarely permanently.
"We have good data that 50 percent of patients either can't sustain their remission without steroids, or they don't respond at all," says pediatric gastroenterologist Carmen Cuffari.
That's why Oliva-Hemker and Cuffari are now focusing on a new class of medicines that may offer greater efficacy with fewer side effects. These so called "biologics" are genetically engineered mini-missiles that inhibit specific GI enzymes thought to set off inflammatory flares.
Forty percent of children with moderate and severe Crohn's went into remission using Remicade, after being extremely non-responsive to traditional therapies. Some researchers believe those numbers could jump to a 60–70 percent response rate if Remicade, the first FDA approved biologic for use in Crohn's, were offered earlier in treatment. It's also possible that drugs like Remicade could drive milder cases of pediatric IBDs into longer remissions, or be introduced as part of a more effective drug "cocktail."
With biologics now at their disposal – and some 100 now in development – Oliva-Hemker's team is researching just how and when to deploy these powerful weapons. Because drug companies and the government don't collect much pediatric drug data, Oliva-Hemker and her colleagues participate in a consortium of 18 national pediatric IBD centers. That allows them to follow nearly 1,000 pediatric IBD patients, and learn everything from optimal dosing schedules to targeted treatments.
Developing pediatric clinical trials to test these hypotheses is part of the plan. The data is vital because severe IBD in children often presents more aggressively than in adults, and drug efficacy varies depending on age of exposure. Also, children who develop a chronic illness have a greater chance of being exposed to more drugs for longer periods of time than adults. Rare side effects for drugs such as biologics may not show up in FDA approval studies, requiring ongoing monitoring of patients taking biologics.
In a recent editorial for the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Oliva-Hemker noted that in a very small percentage of pediatric patients, Remicade use was associated with T cell lymphoma and a surprising increase in infections such as tuberculosis. "They have to take the risk/benefit ratio into account," Oliva-Hemker says.
With a second biologic, Humira, now FDA approved for clinical use in Crohn's, and Remicade, now also approved for ulcerative colitis, IBD treatments may soon promise longer remissions. Cuffari notes that a pivotal study with non-biologics found that "early, aggressive treatment within six weeks of diagnosis of the disease leads to better long-term clinical response" (Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, February 2007) – possibly bringing the center one step closer to its goal.
"We're looking to alter the 'natural' course of the disease," explains Oliva-Hemker, "so that our young patients can grow up leading active, healthy lives."

Our Pink Flower Leaf Dorm String Lights are the perfect way to add a little charm to your dorm :).

What do you guys think? Are you a fan?
Make a Dark Dorm Appear Light and Bright
Living in a tiny dorm definitely has it's pros and cons (okay, I admit probably more pro's than cons), and one of the cons is definitely the chance that you'll be living in an apartment with little to no natural light. Most likely, you're going to end up with a room with a tiny window at one end, and a lone boob light in the middle of the room. That's it.
So if you don't have the money to pay for a fantastic apartment (like the one pictured above) with gorgeous, streaming sunshine, there are a few other ways to ensure you're space isn't the dank, dungeon you're terrified of ending up in.
1.) Lighten the walls. If you never excelled in your 7th grade science class, don't worry, here's a quick lesson in how light works: light colors reflect light, dark colors absorb it. Now I'm sure you aren't allowed to completely re-paint your room (and if you are allowed, go for it!), so try other things. I once lived in a room for 5 months that was dark, (and I'm talking dark), royal blue, with no windows. So I hung up light, baby blue sheets on the walls, and it made a world of a difference!
2.) Add lights throughout. Like I mentioned earlier, your room probably comes with one main light source in the middle of the room, leaving the corners of your room looking sad, dark, and if I may…a bit creepy. Make sure to add light in these little edges of your room. Adding some floor and table lamps can really brighten up a room. Even a corner night-light (like the one shown below) can make a huge difference.
3.) Hang mirrors. Mirrors are often one of the most underused items in a small space. They not only bounce light around the room, but they also give the illusion that there is more space. And what's even better, a mirror can fit into any interior design motif. They can be edgy, graphic, hip, romantic, vintage or modern. Hang a large mirror or go for a "collected" collage of smaller mirrors. Feel free to be creative!
4.) Choose the right accessories. Just as mirrors will help bounce light around a room, so will other reflective surfaces. Think crystal chandeliers or metallic lamps. In addition, understand what takes up "visual weight" in a room. A thick, dark, wooden side table will seem to weigh down the room, while a light and airy glass and metal table will almost seem invisible to the eye, creating the illusion of more space.
5.) Add plants. Bringing in a little of the outdoors makes any room automatically seem more fresh. Even a small box of herbs on the kitchen counter will be sure to keep your room feeling a bit more upbeat. Just be sure you're not bringing home something like a bouquet of oriental lilies, and they can become incredibly overwhelming in a small space.
How do you make your dark, dungeon-like room a little brighter?
Lighting to Get Your Study (or Swerve) On
Folks, it's all about lighting.
Try and doubt me on this, I dare you. Ever want to create that perfect mood? Whether it's for studying, cooking, talking, or…well…ya know…the mood…whatever you have in mind, lighting is going to get you there.
And the #1 and #2 biggest lighting culprits in dorms? The overhead "death light", and the desk lamp. Both are bright, both are annoying, and both are universally unflattering. If you look good and are able to concentrate well while in either one of these lighting conditions, than congratulations. You are a freak of nature and should probably be modeling at Home Depot or something.
My cure? Well first of all, the light bulb. Get rid of that harsh light and go for something more easy on the eyes, basically anything other than a bright flourescent white light. And second of all? Get a better light fixture!
I'm a HUGE fan of both of these hanging pendants. A white feathered shag covering (which is both chic and exotic) and a dainty white layered one, with a more unique twist. They both soften whatever bulb is contained within them, meaning the number of headaches should proportionally decrease as the number of complements proportionally increase. I mean c'mon. They're gorgeous.
Another trick? Go for something shiny that reflects light about the room. It will make your space seem larger and more grand. Something silvery, shining, and fabulous that I have in mind? This, a silver sequined chandelier. It's perfect for classin' up a diny dorm room without moving over into disco ball territory.
So get movin guys! The semester has really only just begun, and the holidays are coming up. If ever there was a time to make your dorm more cozy, homey and extremely inviting, it's now!
Dorm Tip #2
So you are heading to college for the first time this fall. On the one hand, pretty freaking scary, but on the other - well, it's your time, guys….finally!
Now this applies to on so many levels. Your time to shine, to really explore who you are and what you want to accomplish, your time to begin to find out how you want to live your life and maybe even decide who you want to live it with!
When you plan out your dorm, take the time to create a space that reflects who you are. Find those items that are going to make your space your own. Never bring too much (look back at Dorm Tip #1!) but bring the stuff that counts. Find some prints that you want to spend time looking at and that might even inspire you. Find dorm lighting that creates the feeling/environment you want. NEVER use the overhead flourescent lighting that every dorm seems to have. This will kill any good vibes in your dorm immediately (trust us!)
At TheGoodLifeOnCampus.com our "slogan" if you will, is "My Place, My Way"… recognizing this unique time of creative freedom and exploration - regardless of who you are and what you are into. We think you should take a little time to find the right items to create your space your way - this is exactly the WRONG time for a trip to the same old target and bed & bath shops - because that's what everyone else will do. Take your time, find what intrigues you, that is affordable, and create "your place, your way". There is a reason our slogan isn't "my place, just like everyone else's place" : it's boring!
Now we recognize that this might sound like we are exaggerating the importance of a dorm room and what it looks and feels like. Well that may be, but maybe it's not too much of an exaggeration. Spend one day in a dorm room that is a total freaking mess and you will understand why avoiding that fate is important. Think about how you feel when your surroundings inspire you rather than bore you or depress you…
So take your time, shop around, and create an affordable dorm - and refuge- that inspires you to do great things, that gives you peace, and helps you be you. The best part is that exactly what that is, will change - forever, most likely. So be flexible, try on differently styles and approaches and change it every year (or more often) if you want. But most importantly, have fun making it yours!

Makes a nice Anonymous 4.5/5 roll over for details
Good points Excellent sound quality and battery life for both the handset and headset. The hands free speaker is fantasic and the recipient of the call can not even tell you are on hands free.
Bad points Minor gripe! You appear to have to take the phone off the power base for the power saving features to turn off the screen back light. If you leave the phone on the charge unit (when it's not charging) the back light stays on and if it's in your bedroom makes a nice night-light!
Other thoughts
Ligo called me when I ordered the units because they did not have the headset in stock. Offered to hold the entire order or send them seperately so we'd have the new phones without delay. Very nice customer service, and very unusual - hence 10/10 purchasing experience.

Headset makes my life easier Jeanie 4.5/5 roll over for details
Good points This is the first time I have ever deviated from having a BT 'phone,and I was pleasantly surprised. I found it easy to put in family numbers in the categories. Having PD the headset makes my life so much easier to chat and volume easy to adjust on them. Head set well worth money spent.
Bad points Still haven't worked out how to make answer phone louder to listen to messages through the base.
Other thoughts
I found customer service very helpful when I rang for advice before making purchase. Ordered around 10.15am one morning, delivered the following morning. Amazing and at no charge!!!!

Yoruba Culture of Nigeria: Creating Space for an Endangered Specie
The history of colonisation dates back to the 19th Century. Africa and indeed Nigeria could not exercise her sovereignty during this period. In fact, the experience of colonisation was a bitter sweet experience for the continent of Africa and indeed Nigeria, this is because the same colonialist and explorers who exploited the African and Nigerian economy; using it to develop theirs, were the same people who brought western education, modern health care, writing and recently technology. The challenge therefore is even though Nigeria gained independence in 1960 and the colonialist physically gone and there is no denying that they left some positive legacies, but Nigerians and indeed the Yoruba ethnicity have become Europeans in black skin. Using existing literature and observation, this paper therefore examines the negative impact of colonial influence on the Yoruba ethnicity, culture, values and language, which posits it as endangered specie, a culture that is fast losing space among elitist homes, public and private and schools. The paper recommends the use of mother tongue, traditional attire, bearing of traditional names and eating of local foods among Yoruba ethnicity and the continued inclusion of mother tongue as compulsory subject.

Airlines have already canceled more than 2,700 Friday flights as they get ready for a storm that threatens to dump up to three feet of snow from New York City to Boston.
Flight-tracking website FlightAware shows 728 cancellations at the three big airports in the New York area. Another 191 flights to or from Boston have been scrubbed, and 137 in Toronto.
Airlines issued so-called "weather waivers," allowing passengers flying in the storm-affected areas to change their flight date without paying a change fee.
Airlines try to get ahead of big storms by canceling flights in advance rather than crossing their fingers that they can operate in bad weather.
At Sky Harbor Airport Friday morning, we didn't see many canceled flights -- the boards had "on time."
What the airlines may not be telling you is that if you have a connecting flight to a city back east, the first leg of your flight may be okay, but you could get stuck there because the second leg may be canceled. Other flights may be re-routed.
As always, the best thing to do is call your airline ahead of time or check online.

Music is a two-channel medium, but is home theater stuck with 5.1? What's the maximum number of channels for home theater?
Just about every mid-price or more expensive receiver is a 7.1 channel model, but only a tiny minority of buyers actually use all seven channels, or do they? Take the Poll and tell us how many channels you use in your home theater.
Sony announces a pair of hardware bundles designed to make it easy to add iPod and iPhone compatibility to almost any car stereo.

Trend: Print Explosion
"Print was key for this season. There were many permutations on the trend, from Mary Katrantzou's graphic, colourful designs to fun vegetable patterns at Dolce & Gabbana. Prabal Gurung featured the look of the season -- his metallic-motif pants and aqua jacket were just stunning and are top of my wish list."

MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) The Milwaukee Bucks say they want to keep point guard Brandon Jennings. But if they don't sign him by 11 o'clock tonight, he'll become a restricted free agent next July – and the Bucks would have to match any offer Jennings gets in order to keep him.
He was the 10th pick in the 2009 draft. And only two other players from that class have agreed to long-term extensions – Blake Griffin of the L-A Clippers and Ty Lawson of Denver.
Jennings started all 66 games in last year's lockout-shortened season. For his first three years in the league, Jennings has averaged almost 17 points and five-and-a-half assists per game. The Bucks don't open their regular season until Friday night at Boston. The Celtics lost at Miami 120-to-107 in their opener last night.

University Relations
The South Dakota Board of Regents today approved Northern State to offer a master's degree in banking and financial services, building on its successful undergraduate programs in that field.
"This graduate-level degree expands Northern's curriculum to better meet the workforce needs of the banking and financial services industry in South Dakota and the Midwest region," said Regents President Kathryn Johnson.
A master of science degree will prepare students for a competitive market upon graduation, she said, and also provides current professionals in the field the skills needed to advance their careers. The regional banking industry expects a number of executives to retire over the next several years, creating a need for qualified individuals to fill management positions.
A former banking regulator said the key to any financial institution's success is the quality and education of the management team; Northern's graduate degree will give new and current employees the tools to effectively compete in the industry. The university consulted with industry leaders during development of the curriculum.
NSU already offers bachelor and associate degrees, a minor, and certificates in the banking and financial services program. Today's action also authorizes the new graduate degree for distance delivery, allowing bankers from across the country to earn this credential online.
The Board also approved online delivery for several of its existing degrees, including master's degrees in leadership and administration, teaching and learning, instructional design in E-learning, and training and development in E-learning. Officials said putting these degrees online expands educational opportunity to more students who find themselves place bound due to work or family considerations.
A bachelor's degree in international business studies at NSU was also approved for online delivery.

Hello, My Way Home readers! We're Ellen and Aileen from Love and Lavender where we showcase gorgeous weddings, detailing the story of couples' love and their big day, and beautiful DIY ideas for your own weddings! We're so excited to be sharing Aileen's wedding day with you all today!
Putting together a wedding can be nerve-wracking, because it's a one-time event. Unlike decorating your house, where you can change things as you want, once your wedding is over, it's over. When I was planning my wedding, I had such a hard time deciding on a color scheme or "theme." Finally, I realized that as long as everything reflected Ben and I, instead of just copying some picture-perfect wedding from a magazine, that I'd be happy with it. We took a good look at the way we like to live, dress, and our style in general. Because of this, we decided not to have fancy bridesmaid dresses, expensive floral centerpieces, or a huge five-tier wedding cake. We're not really that fancy of people, so why would we pretend to be on our wedding day?
Staying true to our personal style really helped us to stay in our budget, and better yet, because we truly liked everything we used in our wedding, we kept most of it and found a way to work it into our decor in our new home. The mason jars that held our flowers, the vintage suitcase the programs were in, and the paper pinwheels I made–all of these found their way into our home somehow.
When planning your wedding, of course it's fun to look at magazines and blogs to get inspiration–my sister-in-law and I run the wedding blog Love & Lavender, and I looked at blogs daily for ideas. But remember, it's not about emulating someone else's wedding, it's about making a day that reflects you and your hubby-to-be! So take a good look at what you already like and own. Chances are, you have some beautiful things that you can incorporate into your wedding decor–your collection of globes, your grandma's china teacups you can fill with flowers, or maybe a beautiful chandelier you can hang from the trees. When you do decide to make or buy something, consider if you can keep and use it afterward. Maybe you'll make some sweet bunting that you'll later hang in your kitchen. Maybe you'll have a spread of cakes on vintage cakestands that will later find a home in your hutch.
Of course, it's not to say that everything you use in your wedding has to be used in your home afterward. But as you're buying things, this can be something helpful to consider–"Is this something I would like to keep after the big day?" That way, you stay true to your style, end up spending less money, and will have a wedding that truly reflects you! I love the way my wedding turned out and I'm so glad I didn't just pick a trendy color scheme or do something just because that's "what people do" for weddings.
-Aileen & Ellen

|Feather extensions styled by Phia Salon in Columbus, Ohio. Photo by Michael Houghton.
"Our salon is on fire with feather extensions! More than 100 have gone out the door in the last two weeks alone. This is the easiest add-on service we have ever offered, and from a marketing perspective, they've allowed us to maintain our image of being on the forefront of new trends. Stylists who wear feathers sell feathers, and not just to guests in the salon. Whether they are at the dentist, the gym, the bank, etc., the extensions create a buzz and draw in new guests."--Mary and Scott Randolph, owners of Randolph's Salon in Waterford, MI
"The work of art that our team created on Gendala Kelli Anna (part owner and manager of Phia Salon), has been a source of joy for her, a source of inspiration for our team, and has been met with awe in our community. She is approached almost daily as a celebrity with comments such as 'ohmygosh, it's YOU' or 'I've heard about you' or 'You're that feather girl!'--Elizabeth Bella, co-owner, Phia Salon, Columbus, Ohio
"Feather extensions and colored extensions need to be displayed on the staff. They are the walking billboards for these new trends. Also, have the stock available as these are quick-impulse purchase and partner with a great company."--April Lyn Graffeo, Indra Salon and City Spa, with Pure Talent Academy of Andover, MA
"We have been having a lot of fun with hair tinsel and feather extensions. We won't make a zillion dollars on these, but they are a great little add-on for a quick change. It is my opinion that we have cut, colored, teased, sprayed, curled and everything else to hair over and over that we are as bored as our clients. This idea is new and fresh. The 'bob' was around in the 20s, 40s, and 60s, then it finally decided to become a classic, so it is no longer new. The 'blonde bombshell' was great in the real movie star era, then it came again in the 60s and 80s into the millennium. The point I'm trying to make is we cannot change hair using traditional methods because what is new is actually old again. So, what's next? Let's add 'stuff' to that tired bob or overhighlighted hair. Tinsel, crystals and feathers are a great new offering. We presented it at our local Chamber of Commerce EXPO, showcased by our newly crowned Miss Lake Norman 2011 and Miss Lake Norman Outstanding Teen 2001. We sent photos out in an eblast, and posted them on Facebook. The employees are all wearing them, and heck, I did too. Prom time is just around the corner and I can see these new items being work instead of the ever famous Baby's Breath. If Beyonce can wear tinsel to the Grammies, these kids can wear them to the prom! We even have young girls, ages 3-10, wanting them. One mother toldme in early March that her girls' tinsel had lasted since December. Not only are they fun, but they are 'eye catching.' They draw attention and that is good for business because it starts a conversation. In our current society, 'conversations' are what sells, whether it is in person, in a blog or some other form of social networking. Get those clients talking!"--Pat Helmandollar, owner of Savvy Salon and Day Spa, Cornelius, North Carolina
Caroline Sumner, Miss Lake Norman Outstanding Teen 2011, models the feather extension she received at Savvy Salon and Day Spa in Cornelius, North Carolina.
"Our clients are going crazy for feather extensions. As soon as they hit the market, our staff started wearing them and now 90 percent of our staff, including the men, wear them. That is the only marketing we are doing, but almost every client asks about them. We are not retailing home extensions, we only offer them as a service. As a service, it's about three times more profitable than a haircut when you look at profit per minute."--William George, James Joseph Salon, Boston, Massachusetts
"The specialty extensions have been a big hit. For us, it's mostly the feathers and the colored hair extensions. We are working on the tinsel and crystal strands, but they aren't as big a hit yet."--Sondra Thrasher, owners, Appearance Hair Color and Design
"We have been doing feather extensions for about six months now. Our feathers are in bundles of seven feathers with an array of colors on each bundle, highlighting one main focus color. We have had to do no advertising and it has been a consistent stream of revenue for us. It takes very little time on our stylists' part and is an easy 'up-sell' to clients. Many of our stylists have the feathers in their hair, leading to a great conversation starter in the chair. These feathers have been in high demand, and they've brought new clients to our salon, many have now have become clients or hair or skin services. All this is from the buzz due to word-of-mouth in the salon."--Noelle Mills, service manager, Signatures Salon, Lake Charles, LA
"We've noticed it's the young, school-aged kids coming in for color extensions. It is a $15 add-on service and it helps boost some retail sales when our stylists recommend shampoos to help maintain them. It also gets them in for a cut, and their moms as well. The removable clips and combs are OK, but it seems the color extension services are really the ticket."--Cheryl Duignan, co-owner, Tru, St. James, NY
"We have been successful with hair extensions for several years now, and are now experiencing a high interest in feather extensions. We are utilizing Fine Featherheads and offering them as a retail item, with a small fee for application. We have several stylists, assistants, and one service coordinator wearing or modeling them. This occurred by accident—when the first shipment arrived, the staff went crazy and scooped them up! Since that was a sure sign they were going to be a hit, we placed a sizable second order, and have even had to place a third. All in less that three weeks. For us, the clientele who seem most receptive to wearing them are primarily in their 20s. They see the feathers as fun and whimsical, and the 'natural' element is appealing to them. Personally, I think Steve Tyler's presence on 'American Idol' is helping to push this trend. We are displaying the feather extensions on a mannequin head in our retail area. We first colored and foiled the mannequin in the very latest trends for stpring, then applied the feathers. Then we barrel-curled the hair and feathers to show that the feathers can actually be styled. The mannequin is a bit creepy (they all are!) but it is generating dialogue and interest in feather extensions, as well as the color technique."--Ginny Eramo, Executive Director, Interlocks Salon & Day Spa, Newburyport, MA
At Interlocks Salon and Day Spa, a mannequin models the feather extensions in the retail area.
"It's all about feathers, feathers, feathers this Spring. We use Facebook, website and mass emails to promote them. They are so popular we can't keep them in stock or even find places to order them from. By having our staff wear them around we get tons of interest from clients seeing them wear the feathers."--Anna Martin Craig, Trashy Roots Salon, Round Rock, TX
"We have just started looking into getting them. We have a girl who can make them into clips, so you don't have to do them as extensions, they can be removed. They are SO chic and the color and texture of them are divine. Love this trend!" --Kim Baker, Bijou Salon, Skaneateles, NY
A quick run-down of what different salons are charging for feather extensions:
- Tru Salon: $15
- Interlocks Salon & Day Spa: $40 per feather bundle, which includes 5 feathers
- Savvy Salon and Day Spa: (1 for $10; 2 for $20; 3 for $25, 6 for $50)
- Trashy Roots Salon: For the 'short and thick' feathers it's 3 for $10; for the 'long and skinny feathers, it's $8 a piece

BARchive: The Lost Bars
by Jim Stewart
At a run on a ranch in Mendocino County I won a case of Olympia long necks from Playland, when it was a new bar at 1190 Folsom Street, long before the Cat Club. I'd heard Playland was a sleeper. The night I went for my case of Oly it was awake.
A body-harnessed doorman crossed his muscled arms over his hairy chest at the head of the line. A man came out, he let another in. The men were hot. It was worth the wait.
Some stood in spotless leathers practicing their S&M, Standing and Modeling. Others were in Levis well worn in the crotch. A whiff of poppers drifted down the line as disco blasted out the door. A fist passed a small brown bottle to me.
I took the bottle, inhaled deeply, and started to hand it back to Well Worn Crotch.
"Pass it along. It's from the doorman. He wants us to stay."
A poppers rush is short but can be intense. I saw an apparition. A bearded man in Gypsy-Hippie-rags. His long robe and wide-brimmed hat were complemented by dozens of dangly necklaces and spangled bracelets. A tambourine hung from a cord around his waist. His dirty feet were bare. A miniature collie wearing a red bandanna trotted behind. With a rattle of jewelry he picked up the collie and leaned toward me.
"Pot?" he said.
I shook my head.
I shook my head again. He moved down the line. Bills were pulled from wallets. My poppers rush gone, Gypsy-Hippie-Man and dog remained.
"Who's that?" I said to Well Worn Crotch.
"Jesus Christ Satan."
"Jesus Christ Satan." He laughed. "He was a lawyer in New York and came here in the Sixties." As if that explained all.
"He's homeless?"
"He declared his apartment an independent country and applied to the U.N. for aid to developing nations."
"Nice if you can get it," Leather Chaps said behind me.
We were nearing the door. The music was louder. Jesus Christ Satan crossed Folsom Street and headed towards The Slot.
Inside Playland I saw it was worth the wait. The crowd, half naked, swayed to the beat of throbbing pounding music. The DJ built the pulse as the closing hour of two approached. Some of the sweat-drenched men left, heading for the baths, others headed for the ongoing orgy in the back room. Great bartenders and back rooms could make or break a Folsom bar.
I fought my way to a hot bartender through the mass of bodies, groping and being groped. With beer in hand I headed for the back room.
The smell of booze and cigarettes, weed and poppers, sweat and testosterone, enhanced the dark scene of men moaning and grunting. Soon I was part of that critical mass of male flesh grinding its way to Nirvana. My body sang.
The din of disco stopped.
"Repent, you mother-fuckers, repent!" The sounds of a shaken tambourine were heard above the grunting and moaning. "Repent, you mother-fuckers!"
"We're not mother-fuckers. We're father-fuckers!" a deep voice bellowed in passion.
A small dog barked.
Jesus Christ Satan!
"Last call, gentlemen. Last call. Drink up, please. It's time."
Another Saturday night, Folsom Street, San Francisco, 1976.

The term "Diverticular disease" refers to a condition where small sacs or pockets develop in the wall of the colon.
Diverticulosis occurs when many tiny pockets, called diverticula, form in the lining of the lower region of the large intestine. Ranging in size from a small pea to a large marble, these pockets form when gas, stool, or liquid put pressure on the weaker spots of the bowel walls.
Most people living in our part of the world will develop diverticulosis during their lifetime, but few will ever have any symptoms. People who have diverticulosis without symptoms or complications should follow a high-fiber diet, but do not need any additional treatment. However, one of every five people who have diverticulosis may develop inflammation of the diverticulae, which is called diverticulitis.
Diverticulitis occurs when one of more diverticula become inflamed. Diverticulitis may occur suddenly and without warning.
Symptoms include:
See your doctor if you have such symptoms. Be prepared to answer questions about your bowel habits, symptoms, diet, and current medications.
The best way to prevent diverticular disease or reduce the complications from it is to maintain healthy eating habits. Ask your doctor to recommend a diet that will enable you to have regular bowel movements. It is important to eat the right amounts and the right types of fiber, drink plenty of liquids, and exercise regularly.
Diverticular bleeding occurs when the small blood vessels that are next to the diverticula are repeatedly injured.
Surgery for diverticular disease involves removing the affected portion of your colon. This can often be performed laparoscopically or through a single incision in your belly-button.

Move over Pepe Le Pew. Life is imitating art in upper Manhattan where residents say smelly skunks are taking over.
"They just come out. There will be just like three or four of them hanging out in the park," one local said. "They're everywhere."
Recent YouTube videos show a skunk in Washington Heights and one in Fort Tryon Park. Their presence has become so common that long-time local Bob O'Brien has a come up with a foolproof way to shoo them: whistles.
Residents here in Hudson Heights say these skunks are bolder, faster and smarter than they were last year. At first they were in Fort Tryon Park, not bothering anyone, and now they say they're spilling into the streets, locals said.
The city admits skunks have become a problem in northern Manhattan. Despite complaints, city officials say they won't trap a skunk unless it is acting sick or unusual; in that case, they'll test it for rabies.
Healthy skunks are pretty harmless until they spray you, according to Dr. Greg Nelson.
"The liquid is quite tough to get off your skin, it's really noxious, you won't make friends easily," he said. "And it may stay with you a couple of days."
But not everyone in town minds smell or the furry critters.
"They're good looking little things and I hear they make good pets when they're deskunked," one person said.
The city said the No. 1 way to minimize the skunk population is to tie up your garbage.

Vicki comes down the stairs at her house, looking really rough. Billy comes out from the kitchen. He wants to make her whatever she wants for breakfast. She's a champion, she kicked butt at the mediation. Vicki doesn't feel so great about what happened, she may have frozen one third of NE's assets, but feels the tactics put her on shaky moral ground. Billy sends her back upstairs to start the day over. He's going to bring her breakfast (and more) in bed. As she leaves, Billy calls Primrose to tell her he's transferred half the money. Half? she says, that wasn't the deal. You'll get the other half upon delivery. Vicki has come back downstairs for her book. Who was that on the phone? Billy says works, Phylis? asks Vicki. Billy, what is going on?
Jack is at Crimson Lights, on the phone with Phylis who is at a sleeping Daniel's bedside. (IN A NEW OUTFIT!) She wishes she could put some expresso into Daniel's I.V. Jack plans to meet her at the hospital. Nick comes into Crimson Lights. Jack shows him Skye's keychain seen in the elevator video and found on the trail where Sharon saw Skye. So Skye was definitely in Hawaii, Jack says. My dad lied to me, Nick sighs. Nick wonders if Jack would consider keeping this info between them. Nope, says Jack. Nick worries what Adam will do if released. Jack feels that by withholding info he would be going along with Victor's scheme. Jack guesses that Nick is going to give his Dad a heads up about this. I went to him while you were away, Nick says, he looked me in the eye and called him disloyal for even asking about it. He clearly wants to deal with this on his own, Nick says. So I'm going to let him.
Michael comes into Victor's office. There are reporters waiting, who've given a list of questions for them to review in advance. They decide how they are going to spin each one
Bonnie (ranch housekeeper) greets Diane and Kyle. I'll make sure your bags get to the carriage house. She wants to show Kyle the billiard room and the video games there. All three are excited.
Sharon is at Adam's jail cell telling him how she stood up to Nick and got to spend the day with Faith. She feels that they need to do that with the lawyers. Don't waste your time, says Adam. You need legal protection, you're being set up. And Victor did it brilliantly, says Adam. He managed to convince the world of a murder that didn't happen.
Speaking of murders that didn't happen, Heather enters the DA's office, holding a file folder with Chance's photo in it. Sorry to interrupt, but I need to speak to you both (Ronan's there too). Mind if I handle this? says Ronan. The DA agrees and leaves his office. Heather says to Ronan, I'm sure you are upset with me, but I need you help. You went behind my back and betrayed my confidence, why would I help you? I'm not going to apologize for telling Nina you were sick. Ronan thinks she has a habit of sticking her nose in where it doesn't belong. Heather tells him how she listened to the audio recording of Chance's death, which was deemed inadmissible in court. How did you get that? he asks. Then he warns her to stay out of it, unless she wants to face her own trial. She leaves and a guy in a suit meets up with in the hall. Heather, does this mean you're coming back? He points to the DA office. I wish, she says... Actually, you could do me a favour, she says to him.
Jack shows up at Adam's jail cell to show Sharon and Adam the evidence of the keychain and elevator photo. That's Skye's good luck charm, Adam says. Well it seems to be your good luck charm now. Sharon starts thanking him, but Jack didn't do it for her. If it gets this bastard out of jail, it may turn out to be the worst possible thing I could ever do for you. Guess I'm lucky you hate my father more than you want to see me behind bars. Well look at that, good luck charms already working, Jack says at he saunters off, leaving Sharon and Jack to look lovingly into each others eyes.
Vicki tells Billy that she has noticed lots of hangups when she walks into the room, and that Billy has been secretive and pre-occupied. Billy's been having a hard time and didn't want to burden Vicki with his stuff. What stuff? His phone rings. It's Phylis, who thinks she has a story. Can he come to the hospital to meet her and Jack? He leaves, leaving Vicki to shake her head and sigh.
Nick's been summoned to his dad's office and Victor thanks him for being there and his loyalty. Mike greets the reporter, who understands how delicate the matter is and thanks them for the exclusive interview.
Vicki wraps herself in a blanket, and flashes back to her father asking her why she was doing this. You'd better stop, he says, or you'll destroy the company that built this family. Then she turns on the TV to see the press conference. Victor is explaining about the assets being frozen. Won't that hurt the company? Victor doesn't think it will. But you must have wished you could avoid it, the reporter asks. The only mistake I made was not realizing the full extent my daughters' ingratitude.
Phylis is also listening to it in the halls of the hospital as Billy comes in. Your father-in-law, he's saying what a spoiled brat your wife is. Well, hopefully whatever Jack has is enough to pin his ass to the wall, Billy says. Jack walks in, also listening. I love it, says Jack, he's digging is own grave, live and on camera.
At Crimson Lights, every customer and staff person is riveted to the TV screen and Victor's interview. Vance is watching as Sharon walks in.
At the ranch, Kyle is watching as Diane walks in. Look, it's Victor and Nick! Diane sends Kyle into the kitchen to taste test Bonnie's cookies, then turns up the volume to hear how much Victor trusts Nick, his son and right hand man.
Back in his office, Victor tells the reporter that he feels the NE will be stronger than ever a year from now. The reporter thanks Victor for the interview and leaves. I think that went well, Victor says to Nick. You said all the right things, says Nick, too bad they weren't all true. We can work with a judge to lift the ruling, but if the consortium falls apart in the meantime, it just won't matter. The Dubai sale will fall through, says Nick. Nick and Victor talk about various negotiations that are already falling through. This will mean layoffs, syas Nick. We'll start with Beauty of Nature, says Victor and you make sure that everyone knows they lost their job because of your sister. Ok, says Nick, we'll start at 10 per cent reduction in staff. Ten percent! says Michael, that will cause a panic. Victor slams his hand on the desk, I started this company from nothing....... (I just can't type those tired old lines!). Now it is under siege from my own family. If Jack Abbott and Tucker think they will pick up the spoils, I will declare war. NO ONE threatens me and gets away with it. He stomps out. Michael asks Nick if he wants a ride to the hospital to see Phylis. Nick says no, he'll go later. He needs to see someone.
At the hospital, Billy is trying to wake Daniel up. Phylis talks about how much Abby has been there. Jack says to Daniel, you'd better wake up, there seems to be a peace settlement between your mother and your girlfriend. Jack tells Billy how proud he is of Vicki for going after Victor. And I have enough to finish him office, says Jack.
At Crimson Lights, Sharon shows Vance the evidence and he is impressed. How do you do it? he asks her, you should be a lawyer. I may have to be, if I can't find a lawyer to represent Adam. Never fear, he says, I'll take this all to the DA right now.
Heather is hanging out in the hallway when her former staff guy hands her a file folder. I could lose my job if Spencer (the DA) finds out, he says. Oh no, he won't, says Heather. Ronan passes her without a word and heads into the DA's office, where Christine is waiting. Good, she says, we have a lot to catch up on.
Back at the jail, Sharon tells Adam the good news about Vance being back on the case. You know this is all happening because of you, says Adam. They kiss between the bars.
Back in Daniel\s hospital room, Jack tells Billy that it is his call whether RS| runs the story about Victor and Skye. I don't have absolute proof, says Jack. Billy asks Jack if he has any doubt. Not even the slightest, says Jack. But Jack wants Billy to consider that by running the story, he may make Adam a cause celeb and force the DA's hand. You might not want that on your conscience, says Jack, as he is having trouble with it himself. Sitting by her son's bedside, Phylis is reminding of sitting there when Summer was ill. Victor should have learned something from what happened to Summer and from Colleen's death, but he hasn't. I say you should go for it, Phylis. says.
Back at the ranch, Victor meets up with Diane and asks her how they are settling in. Then she says how sorry she is that he has to go through this ordeal. You sound like you mean it, he says to her. I'll get through it, he says. She asks if there is anything she can do to help.
Sharon's still hanging around the jail cell, when Vance strolls into see Adam. What did the DA say when you showed him the keychain? Adam asks.
Nick storms into Vicki's living room. It was one thing, for you to make your point with Dad. I didn't like it.... but now you have gone too far. Oh, alright, so when this lawsuit was just a symbolic gesture, it wasn't a problem, but now that we actually have a chance of winning, Vicki says. Now 100s of people will lose their jobs, says Nick. You should be saying that to Dad, he could have ended this ages ago. We all know what Dad is capable of, Nick says, the real surprise here is you. You said that I was turning into Dad just before Christmas, and that really made me think. But what about you, Nick says, you don't care how many people you use to get back at him. Vicki looks ashamed as Billy walks in. Get out of my house, Billy says to Nick.
Now Dianne wants to cook dinner for Victor, since the chef has the night off. Victor chuckles, he doesn't remember her cooking skills. Her mac and cheese is delicious, she says. I\m very hungry, Victor flirts. Dianne goes off to scrounge in the fridge. The doorbell rings. Jack has stopped by to warn Victor that things are about to get much, much worse. When will you ever learn that you will never, ever get the upper hand with me, Victor glares.
Christine tells Ronan that maybe he should have drawn Heather out and found out how far her investigation has gone. The DA walks in to join them, wondering if Heather Stevens It's ok says Ronan, I shut her down. Christine reminds them that Heather is persistant. You don't have to tell me, Ronan says, she got me to go to Nina's on Thanksgiving and Christmas. The bug is bug-eyed, how did she manage that? He knows what will get to her and he threatened to arrest her for evidence tampering.
Heather meets an EMT at Crimson Lights. She was looking for the names of the EMTs that looked after Chance that night, but their names are not in the file, she tells him. But she has a photo. The EMT does not recognize them and he is in charge of training, so knows them all. Heather ponders this new info.
Sharon says to Vance that the new evidence indicates that Skye's murder was a hoax. Maybe, says Vance, he is talking to a judge right now. As Vance turns away to take a call, Sharon tells Adam that this might be the last night he spends in jail.
Jack is now inside at the ranch. You seem awfully confident for a man who's about to take a fall, says jack. Victor tells him that he seems like a kid at Christmas, which is funny because he has never spent Christmas with any of his kids (LOL). As Jack is wonderfully whether his kids will visit him in prison, Kyle runs into the room. Dad! Did you come to check out our new home? Just as Jack tries to swallow that, Dianne walks in saying to Kyle that there are cooking dinner for |Victor tonight. Jack is fit to be tied. I don't think Jack had an idea that you were both here, Victor gloats. Explain NOW, Jack says to Diane.
Michael checks in with Phylis at the hospital. Daniel suddenly sits up and calls Mom. She rushes to his bedside and he asks her what he is doing in the hospital. New Years Eve, Phylis says, Daisy, remember?
Nick is just leaving Vicki's house. She looks sad. He's right, I acted like my father. Really? Billy says, if that's true, why isn't he over here kissing your butt. That's what he does to his daddy. She says she doesn't have any more family to lose. She walks off and Billy dials the phone. I want to finish this deal tonight, he tells Primrose.
NEXT: Christine to Nina, what's wrong with Ronan? He may be dying, Nina says. Where's the baby, Billy asks Primrose. Wire me the 2nd million, and you'll have your baby, Primrose says. Do NOT use Victor Newman against me, Jack says to Dianne, bad things will happen.
My thoughts: How is what Ronan does for the holidays relevant to the case they are discussing, or of interest to DA Spencer? Why would Victor let Jack in the house, knowing he only came by to gloat? Why is it that people just come and go, visiting Adam right at his cell? Why aren't there other visitors outside the other cells visiting prisoners. Does Adam have his own wing in the jailhouse? Sharon should be a lawyer? What's next.... Victor - a priest?

New York Rangers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins, 7:00 PM at Madison Square Garden
Where To Watch: MSG Network
Where To Listen: 1050 ESPN Radio
Live In-Game Chat: 6:45 PM on BlueshirtsUnited.com
Though they have performed on some of the biggest stages so far this season---including the NHL Season Premiere in Sweden and the outdoor Winter Classic in Philadelphia---the Rangers (44-18-7, 95 pts) will be playing under the true bright lights of a playoff-like cauldron Thursday night when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins (42-21-5, 89 pts) at The Garden. With less than a month remaining in the regular season, the Rangers grasp on first place in the Eastern Conference has slipped a bit, and they now lead the second-place Penguins by six points, with Pittsburgh holding a game in hand. And while the Rangers have struggled a bit of late---they have won two straight after a three-game losing skid, and are 3-3-1 their last seven games---the Penguins have been the hottest team in the NHL, winners of nine consecutive games coming into play Thursday. Dating back to January 13th the Penguins have a phenomenal 21-4-1 record---all achieved without supderstar center Sidney Crosby, who has been sidelined three months due to a concussion. Now Crosby returns to the Pens lineup Thursday against the Rangers to bolster a lineup that has outscored its opposition 35-13 during Pittsburgh's nine-game winning streak. While the Pens are getting healthier, the Rangers still have a few questions marks regarding the health of Henrik Lundqvist (flu), Ryan Callahan (sore foot), and Michael Del Zotto (sore hip) who all missed Tuesday's 4-2 win over Carolina. It is not yet known which of those three key Blueshirts will be able to play Thursday, though the expectation is that Lundqvist has the best chance to be in the lineup. Certainly the Rangers top line is healthy, though, as Brad Richards-Marian Gaborik-Carl Hagelin all notched three points Thursday night, and Richards has eight points (5-3-8) in his last four games.
The Rangers and Penguins are meeting for the fifth time this season, with one more game still to be played in Pittsburgh after this one Thursday at The Garden. The Rangers are 2-2-0 vs. Pittsburgh this season, splitting a pair of games played at Madison Square Garden. On November 29th the Rangers edged the Pens 4-3 in New York as Brad Richards notched a goal and added a pair of assists. Then on January 19th the Penguins skate dout of The Garden with a 4-1 victory, as Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 29 of 30 shots and Evgeni Malkin scored a pair of goals.
"It's definitely a big game. It's one, with this (few) games remaining, to get another two points out of it would be huge. And with their recent success and how close they are to us in the standings, it's a game we'll look forward to and get up for. It's a little bit more important to us."-Ryan Callahan
By The Numbers
With a pair of goals and six points in his last three games Marian Gaborik has increased his team-leading totals to 34 goals and 64 points on the season. Gaborik currently ranks third in the NHL in goal scoring and 16th in points.
The Penguins have a pair of 30-goal scorers---even with Sidney Crosby having played only eight games this season. Evgeni Malkin is second in the league with 38 goals, while James Neal has scored a career-high 31. Malkin is also tied with Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos for the league-lead in points with 84.

Orioles closer Jim Johnson stood by his locker and explained what has become a familiar scene at the end of games.
For his second straight outing, Johnson – the majors' saves leader with 39 – couldn't preserve a one-run ninth-inning lead. And after Paul Goldschmidt hit a solo homer off Johnson to tie Tuesday night's game in the bottom of the ninth, the Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman hit a game-winner in his next at-bat, handing the Orioles their second stinging walk-off loss in as many nights, 4-3, in 11 innings.
Goldschmidt launched the game-winning shot to right on lefty reliever T.J. McFarland's first pitch of the 11th to prompt another celebration at home plate and another quiet Orioles clubhouse.
"We need every win," said Johnson, whose blown save was his eighth of the season. "It's frustrating because I've let a lot go that I shouldn't have. It's hard to gain ground when you can't close the book on a couple games that you think you should."
With the loss, the Orioles (65-54) fell to six games behind the American League East-leading Boston Red Sox, and they now they need a win in Wednesday's afternoon series finale to avoid a sweep and clinch a winning record on their eight-game interleague road trip to San Diego, San Francisco and Arizona.
Tuesday's defeat wasted Chris Davis' major-league leading 44th homer of the season — a two-run shot in the fourth-inning that broke a scoreless tie — and a fine seven-inning start by right-hander Miguel Gonzalez, who held the Diamondbacks scoreless through his first six innings.
A night after Adam Eaton hit a walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth, Goldschmidt's 29th homer of the season sealed a victory for Arizona (61-57).
"Any time you get walked off two nights in a row it's tough," said Davis. "I feel like runs have been at a premuim in both of the last couple of nights. Both pitching staffs threw pretty well. You know they're going to get the last at-bat. You know the ball flies out here."
The Orioles saw a 3-0 seventh-inning lead quickly disappear as their bullpen again failed to hold a lead.
"We move on," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "We didn't do much offensively. We had a couple home runs but we didn't do a lot. They've been pitching us well. We were hoping it could stand up."
After another blown save by Johnson, Showalter faced the question of whether he would consider giving veteran reliever Francisco Rodriguez – who was acquired in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers last month and pitched a scoreless eighth on Tuesday – any future closing opportunities.
"I understand how this works," Showalter said. "A week ago, people were asking what's wrong with Frankie. I don't live in that world.
"We've won a lot in the one-run games and we've closed them out too, so does that matter? That gets thrown out. I don't live in that world. I understand some people do. You can't do it in major league clubhouses and continue to get what we get from our players every day. This isn't easy to do."
Showalter said just three relievers were available to pitch Tuesday – late-inning arms Tommy Hunter and Darren O'Day were given a day of rest – so when Johnson blew the lead in the ninth, it didn't look for for the Orioles.
"It's frustrating," said Johnson, who set a club record with 51 saves last season. "Looking at what the guys have been putting into the games and the way the game unfolded, it's obviously heartbreaking but, you have to forget about it and try to manage something out of the rest of the series."
After Johnson fell behind 3-1 in the count to Goldschmidt to begin the ninth, the Arizona slugger turned on a 95-mph fastball that split the plate and lined it over the left-field fence.
"If I had an answer I'd tell you," said Johnson, whose season ERA rose to 3.42. "I'm going to continue to work and I know what I put into it. I know it's not because or effort or preparation or anything like that. Maybe execution. I threw the pitch I wanted to. I probably could have located it better. You can always go back and find things, strike one or this or that, but I had confidence in every pitch I threw tonight."
McFarland (1-1), who hadn't pitched in 10 days, was the last Orioles reliever available when he went into the game in the 10th. The long reliever pitched a scoreless 10th, but Goldschmidt sent his first pitch of the 11th the opposite way for his first career walk-off homer.
"I threw a bad pitch, left it up the middle, and he was able to get a lot of the barrel of his bat on it," McFarland said. "It's like any other night. I really have no idea going in so I was prepared myself for any moment. I was ready to go in and I just left a fastball middle."
Davis' two-run homer in the fourth put him alone in fourth on the Orioles' single-season home run list, passing Rafael Palmeiro, who hit 43 homers in 1998.

The 2035 Regional Transportation Plan was updated in 2011.
Statewide, the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO), Transportation
Planning Regions (TPR), and CDOT agreed to update their previous plans
(2035) because of the absence of a new federal authorization leaving
funding and guidance uncertain. The out-year of 2035 remains the
20-year planning horizon (out-year). The NFRMPO will convene a full
plan update with the new out-year of 2040 to begin in fiscal year 2013.
