Market Wrap: Investors Take Cover as Ukraine Tensions Flare
A speech by Fed Chair Janet Yellen left investors unsure about the direction of interest rates in the coming months, and tensions between Ukraine and Russia surged.
A speech by Fed Chair Janet Yellen left investors unsure about the direction of interest rates in the coming months, and tensions between Ukraine and Russia surged.
Storms and a late Easter were popular excuses for the first quarter, and corporate America was supposed to turn around in the second. But it's not.
Stocks traded lower for much of Friday but rebounded late, ending the week in positive territory as we prepare for earnings season to kick into high gear.
A business-as-usual report from the Fed pushed the S&P 500 to a record high Wednesday, while Amazon was in focus as it unveiled its new smartphone.
Records fell on Wall Street Friday as another solid report on housing lifted the market for the second day in a row, and sent the S&P 500 to a new high.
A late afternoon buying spree lifted the Dow Jones industrial average into record territory Friday.
Heavy selling on Wall Street extended to Friday as markets were led down by JP Morgan Chase. The DJIA, Nasdaq and S&P 500 all ended the week sharply lower.
The market rallied early thanks to a better-than-expected jobs report, but the gains quickly faded over the situation in Ukraine. The major indexes ended Friday mixed.
Brick-and-mortar retailers are starting to effectively compete against online-only competitors by leveraging the ubiquity of their stores to improve delivery times.
Stocks ended Tuesday mostly higher, led by some of the big names on the Nasdaq. The Dow fell 44 points, but the S&P 500 gained 5 points, and the Nasdaq rallied 28.
It was the S&P 500's turn to close at a milestone level, and a big deal may be brewing the cable industry.
The economy added 204,000 jobs last month, despite the government shutdown. That was nearly double the consensus expectation, and enough to push the Dow to another record.
Shoppers are constantly offered store credit cards in exchange for instant discounts, and mostly, smart shoppers say no. Here are a few that can be worth saying yes to.
Stocks rose Friday as investors bet that the partial government shutdown and the battle over a looming U.S. default would finally be settled.
Earnings throughout the retail industry have been pretty dismal, but Gap has bucked the trend, posting a 25 percent net increase and raising its outlook.
Celebrate the Fourth of July by grabbing discounts on clothes, office supplies and electronics. These are the best Independence Day promotions happening this week.
A couple got more than they expected after placing an online order with retailer Banana Republic: confidential files of 20 former employees, including Social Security numbers.
A new report reveals Walmart got clothes from Bangladesh factories it supposedly cut ties with -- again. Here's why it's hard for even retailers to know who made your clothes.
P&G is bringing back A.G. Lafley as president and CEO, while Google reportedly is facing a new investigation into its dominance of Internet ads.
After a garment factory collapse in Bangladesh killed over 1,100 workers, many companies signed an accord to improve safety conditions there. Not on the list: Walmart and Gap.
Despite a series of accidents that have killed hundreds of people in recent months, dozens of major retailers and apparel makers continue to operate in Bangladesh.
U.S. stocks closed modestly higher on Thursday, with the Dow ending at a record for a third straight day as jobless claims data pointed to a pick-up in the labor market's recovery a day before the closely watched payrolls report.
Every Friday, we scour the Internet for the best deals and freebies available for that weekend and beyond. Here's what we found this week.
After a so-so holiday season, retailers are going discount-crazy in January. And it's not just the usual winter apparel deals: The deep price cuts are hitting everything from socks to designer clothing to consumer electronics.
Every Friday, we scan the weekly ads, deal sites and retailer marketing emails to find the best deals available for the coming week. Here are a few of the best freebies and limited-time offers we found.
Dell was once the envy of the consumer tech industry, but its days sales growth are long past. The PC maker saw its profitability drop sharply as sales tumbled 11% to $13.7 billion in the quarter that just ended -- even further than analysts expected.
Walmart and several other leading North American retailers are going to court to fight orders from the Quebec Board of the French Language that their outdoor signs be modified in order to appear "more French."
Outlet stores have come a long way, baby. No longer mere repositories of last season's cast-offs, factory stores are now among the healthiest retail sectors, hawking new, trendy items made expressly for them. Credit the recession for the change -- and for more reasons than you'd expect.

U.S. retail sales rose in August from July because consumers paid higher gas prices and bought more cars and trucks. They were more cautious elsewhere, suggesting the weak economy has made many selective about spending.

(WRCB) - In Dade County, Georgia, people are still counting blessings one year after the historic and deadly tornado outbreak destroyed many communities.
Survivors know they're lucky to be alive.
"The ceiling right there in the hallway started falling on me," recalled Rachel Phillip.
She and her young daughter, Devorai, called Mountain View Apartments in Trenton home for just a month and a half when a tornado destroyed most of the small complex in seconds.
They were in a neighbor's apartment on the second floor when the tornado struck. The Phillips' unit on the same level was also torn apart.
They feared for their lives, but tried to stay strong, unable to escape to the ground floor before the storm hit.
"I just shook it off," said Phillip. "I was like I'm not dying here in this apartment. God, I'm sorry, but I'm not dying. You're not taking me right now."
Phillip said she didn't hear the storm coming, it was raining so hard. The storm left its mark in the blink of an eye, but to Phillip the whole thing happened in slow motion.
Shaken, she had to regroup quickly to comfort then twelve-year-old Devorai.
"I can't lose it in front of my daughter because then she's going to lose it," said Phillip. "It's alright. It's going to be okay. It's just stuff. It can be replaced. We're still alive."
They received help from FEMA, but Phillip said it wasn't enough. They're thankful for additional assistance provided by local organizations and the community.
Phillip said the experience brought her and her daughter closer to God and each other and has made them more passionate about helping others.
"It brought us closer to family and friends even more than ever before," stated Phillip.
Most of the time since the tornado has been spent living with Phillip's mother at Edgewood Townhouses.
They've been packing at a furious rate, said Phillip, ready to move back to their home at Mountain View, free of the physical scars from the storm a year ago.

Look! Recycled Glass Landscaping
While in Austin a few weeks ago, we spotted an interesting choice of landscaping material right outside of Aviary: recycled glass. We love the sustainability factor, as well as the look of the mixture of blues and greens with just a bit of amber thrown in. Unfortunately, we didn't ask the owner of Aviary for further information (he was so friendly, we're sure he would have given us the scoop); but, we think it may have been a product called EnviroSCAPE.
According to manufacturer EnviroGLAS' website, "EnviroSCAPE is the newest trend in decorative, eco-friendly, sustainable landscaping! EnviroSCAPE recycled glass and porcelain aggregates come in a range of sizes, with virtually no sharp edges."
Does anyone have any experience with this product (or a similar one) in their own home?
11 Comments
glass, no experience.
but there are plenty of driveways, patios, and parking lots covered in bits of sea shells and at least one with tumbled broken china in provincetown, mass.
not the most comfortable on bare feet but a nice change from other surfaces, and no harder on the soles then turkey gravel or pebbles, in the right area.
I don't know if they are still doing it, but the City of Austin was giving away glass mulch from their recycling center earlier this year.
I've used recycled glass from Bedrock industries in Seattle in a pathway. ( www.bedrockindustries.com )
--It's gorgeous. I used the "Rainier Green" - the pale green that you see when you look at glass plate on-edge. They have a bunch of other gorgeous colors but this was the subtlest one.
--Bedrock has really nice people, and their recycled glass tiles are fabulous, too.
--It's really expensive. You need a lot to fill even a small path, and a ton doesn't go nearly as far as you think it will.
--It's loud to walk on (though not much worse than regular gravel).
--My cats won't walk on it and I wouldn't walk on it barefoot - it's tumbled but there are still some sharp edges.
--Glass pieces keep migrating into the beds next to the path (again, gravel would do this too, but the glass is more noticeable).
But it's really really pretty.
Whoops - I meant "Rainier Clear", and I'm not seeing it on their website. They have it at their stoneyard, which is just a blast to wander around anyway.
The city used to provide free glass mulch from the recycled glass that they picked up. They are now transitioning to a single-stream recycling system and I don't know if they will continue to offer the free glass. I tried to find some info online to no avail. But, did find this:
If anyone has more info, please share!
Virtually no sharp edges isn't the same as no sharp edges but besides that I don't really like it as a landscape feature. I do like recycled glass in fireplaces though.
It makes me think of an aquarium bottom.
I like it. It looks like a million small gemstones. But there have to be some sharp edges. I don't blame your cat for not wanting to walk on it, and I would feel really bad if a little kid cut themselves open.
Plus it must get really hot, and this may affect nearby plants.
Looks good in the right environment but the twigs, bark mulch, dirt and rocks that will inevitably make their way onto the path will look messier and more incongruous than they would on something like a crushed granite.
That is absolutely beautiful! What a creative idea. I'm going to be doing some landscaping soon. I wish that I could do something like this. http://www.affordablesprinklingandlandscape.com/landscaping-in-cheyenne.html
I really like the look of this. It kind of ties the landscape together. I just want to look at it all day! http://erikslandscaping.net

text: PL Discusses challenges in nursing sector Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:00 - Thursday, 26 April 2012, 00:00 Labour leader Joseph Muscat yesterday discussed the challenges in the health sector, and how they should be dealt with, at a meeting with officials of the Malta Union of Midwives and Nurses. The meeting was held as part of the party's May Day activities. Dr Muscat said there were several sectors where there could be public-private partnerships, so as to attract more women to work in the health sector. They needed to look beyond the bed shortage problem when referring to problems in the health sector. One of the main problems is the shortage of nurses and it had been a fundamental error when the government limited the number of new nurses, resulting in foreign nurses now being employed. Patients and their relatives must appreciate the work nurses do and accept that the problems in the hospital are not the fault of the nurses.

The Linux kernel development process is akin to a game of leapfrog. Even-numbered kernels (v2.0, v2.2, v2.4) are stable kernels, and odd-numbered kernels are unstable, or development, kernels. As soon as a kernel is released as an even number, the next odd numbered kernel is born, and historically, the previous even-numbered kernel is placed into maintenance mode.
Thus, with the advent of v2.6, Linux kernel v.2.4 will be maintained with security patches and bug fixes, but official releases of the v2.4 kernel will not contain new features; major updates will be handled in the v2.6 branch. Also following the official release of v2.6, the v2.7 kernel will soon be born and become the rough framework for the as-yet-unspecified v2.8 kernel.
During the development process, the LKML (Linux Kernel Mailing List) is the main sounding board for the kernel developers, and in fact, anyone developing core Linux code. The list is not restricted, so any Linux user may post questions or commentary regarding any Linux kernel. Because any question for the list may have been addressed previously, the LKML archives are a great resource to those working with the internals of the Linux kernel or trying to debug a problem.
During the course of my kernel testing, I ran into a few interesting anomalies with the v2.6-test kernel series and posted my findings and thoughts to the list. The first post detailed an issue regarding poor per-character performance of the v2.6.0-test8 kernel. Less than 30 minutes later, Linus Torvalds had responded to my post and offered some suggestions, followed by Bill Rugolsky Jr. and Andrew Morton adding insight. Within six hours, the problem had been reliably reproduced by a number of core Linux kernel developers, and traced to an issue with a library linked by the NPTL (Native POSIX Thread Library) code. The problem was fixed by Ulrich Drepper of Red Hat and incorporated into the next release.
A few days later, I noticed another performance issue. The Samba tests under the v2.6 kernel were ridiculously slow. The numbers I was seeing on the Intel Xeon system were truly terrible. I had previously tested the lower-level kernel subsystems on this server and seen no problems with performance, but the higher-level tests showed a significant bottleneck somewhere. Another post to the LKML, followed by responses from Torvalds and Morton, helped me identify the source of the problem.
I had originally configured my array controller, LSI Logic's Fusion-MPT, without RAID so that each disk was viewed as a stand-alone SCSI drive. I did the I/O subsystem tests with this configuration and noted very high performance results. During a rebuild of the server, however, I reconfigured the disks into a RAID1 array. I then performed the Samba tests, which produced abysmal performance numbers. Naturally, that didn't make sense.
The problem was with the Fusion-MPT drivers. With a RAID array built on the controller, the MPT drivers simply don't function properly, rendering the overall system very sluggish. Reconfiguring the controller to use stand-alone drives fixed the problem, and the performance was stellar. This issue was relayed to the developers responsible for the Fusion-MPT drivers, but a fix has yet to be incorporated into the official kernel, and v2.6 was released with this bug intact.

PADUCAH, Ky. (AP) — A young Paducah man has waived a preliminary hearing, sending manslaughter charges against him to a grand jury.
The Paducah Sun (http://bit.ly/XMrJ2I ) reported 21-year-old Nicholas Barbee was wearing a white tie with the name Braydion painted on it in court Tuesday. Barbee was caring for 3-year-old Braydion Matlock on Feb. 9 when the toddler was fatally shot. Braydion was the son of Barbee's girlfriend, Maria Lopez.
Barbee told police he accidentally shot the toddler. Police said the weapon was a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol.
Police charged Barbee with second-degree manslaughter.

Art and Maxby David Wiesner
Staff Pick
Wiesner's newest masterpiece pays homage to the art theories and movements that have influenced his award-winning style over the years. A brilliant new picture book about art and friendship.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Max and Arthur are friends who share an interest in painting. Arthur is an accomplished painter; Max is a beginner. Max's first attempt at using a paintbrush sends the two friends on a whirlwind trip through various artistic media, which turn out to have unexpected pitfalls. Although Max is inexperienced, hes courageous—and a quick learner. His energy and enthusiasm bring the adventure to its triumphant conclusion. Beginners everywhere will take heart.
"Three-time Caldecott winner Wiesner (Flotsam) introduces a desert lizard named Art, a self-important portrait painter who undergoes a metamorphosis, inside and out, when his pesky lizard friend, Max, decides he wants to paint, too. 'What should I paint?' asks Max; the narcissistic Art says, 'Well... you could paint me.' Literal-minded Max begins applying blue to Art's knobbly skin. A series of philosophical questions arises: is Art still Art when his painted coat bursts off him mid-tantrum, like a reptilian sun gone nova? Is he still Art when Max douses him with water and the remaining color drains right out of him, rendering him transparent? Is he still Art when his outline collapses into a pile of tangled wire? As Max attempts to reconstruct his friend, an early effort has Art resembling a preschooler's spiky drawing of a monster ('More detail, I think,' Art says drily). This small-scale and surprisingly comedic story takes place against a placid backdrop of pale desert colors, which recedes to keep the focus squarely on the dynamic between the two lizards and the wide range of emotions that Wiesner masterfully evokes. Ages 5 — 8. (Oct.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright PWyxz LLC)
Every day, Snail waits for Fish to come home with a new story.
Today, Fish's story (about pirates!) is too grand to simply be told: Fish wants to show Snail. But that would mean leaving the familiar world of their book—a scary prospect for Snail, who would rather stay safely at home and pretend to be kittens. Fish scoffs that cats are boring; Snail snaps back. Is this book too small for the two feuding friends? Could this be THE END of The Story of Fish and Snail?
Deborah Freedman, author of Blue Chicken, has created a sweet and playful story about friendship that truly jumps off the page.
About the Author
David Wiesner's interest in visual storytelling dates back to high school days when he made silent movies and drew wordless comic books. Born and raised in Bridgewater, New Jersey, he graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration. While a student, he created a painting nine feet long, which he now recognizes as the genesis of Free Fall, his first book of his own authorship, for which he was awarded a Caldecott Honor Medal in 1989. David won his first Caldecott Medal in 1992 for Tuesday, and he has gone on to win twice more: in 2002 for The Three Pigs and in 2007 for Flotsam. He is only the second person in the award's history to win the Caldecott Medal three times. David and his wife, Kim Kahng, and their two children live near Philadelphia, where he devotes full time to illustration and she pursues her career as a surgeon.

Beth Dichter's curator insight, May 6, 8:14 PM
Technology is a tool. When to use, how to use it, why you use...these are some of the questions that each of us must consider. To help us effectively integrate technology it is helpful to have a pedogogical background or framework. This post explores three approaches:
* SAMR Model - Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefintion
* TPACK - Content Knowledge, Pedagogical Knowledge, Technological Knowledge and the overlapping knowledges that occur: TP Knowledge which helps us understand how to make content more accessible; TC Knowledge which helps us pair or combine appropriate technology to content; and PC Knowledge which allows us to pair pedagogy with content.
* Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs paired with Technology
This article presents a great overview of all three of these pedagogical approaches, and all have been covered in this Scoop.it so if you are looking for additional information do a search here.


text: WRIGHTSTOWN, Wis. (WTAQ) - A passer-by notices flames coming out of a barn Saturday morning and calls fire crews. It happened around 10 a.m. on County Highway D in Wrightstown. Officials were able to save some of the animals but not all of them. Greenleaf Fire Chief Glenn Geurts says between 15 to 20 small cows were killed in the fire. Officials think the fire began in the upper area and caused significant damage to the dairy area.

(Sports Network) - The Ottawa Senators will have Daniel Alfredsson back in the lineup tonight when they try to eliminate the top-seeded New York Rangers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference quarter-finals at Scotiabank Place.
Alfredsson skated on the second line at practice on Monday and will play after he suffered a concussion in Game 2 of the series in New York.
Carl Hagelin, who was suspended for three games for hitting Alfredsson, will also return for Game 6 tonight.
In other roster news, Senators 2009 second-rounder Jakob Silfverberg will make his NHL debut tonight in place of fellow rookie Mark Stone. Stone registered an assist in Game 5 while playing alongside Jason Spezza.
The Rangers lost one of their own players to a concussion in Game 5, as Brian Boyle suffered a head injury after taking a big hit from Ottawa's Chris Neil. Boyle, who has three goals in this series, will not play tonight and Neil will not face a suspension for the hit.
Ottawa has taken the last two meetings to grab a 3-2 series lead over the Rangers, who entered this postseason as the top seed in the East for the first time since they won their last Stanley Cup title in 1994.
With a win tonight, the Senators can become the 11th No. 8 seed to upset a No. 1 since the current playoff format began in 1994. The Los Angeles Kings became the 10th team to pull off that upset on Sunday when they eliminated the top- seeded Vancouver Canucks in the Western Conference quarterfinals.

Updating AMC manually - no automatic updates
Please proceed as follows to update the AMC and its components manually to the latest version:
Check first if the IUM (Internet Update Manager, integrated in AMC) has already downloaded the latest versions of "AMC Server", "AMC Frontend" and "AMC Agent". To do this, click within the IUM on [Server]:7050 > Released products.
Check the individual products for their actual version which is shown in the right part of the window.
The IUM has to be updated, if the latest versions are not shown. Right-click in the Internet Update Manager on Released products and select Update mirrored products.
Then, update the AMC Server by right-clicking on the "Avira Security Management Center Frontend". Select Update > Server > Start update.
After a few minutes, do the same for SMC Frontend:
Right-click on Avira Security Management Center Frontend and select Update > Frontend.
To update the AMC Agents to the latest version, please right-click on the Security Environment and select Commands > Avira SMC Agent > Start Update.
To verify the AMC version afterwards, please click with the left mouse button on "Avira Security Management Center Frontend" and select from the MMC menu Help > Info about Avira Security Management Center Frontend.
Finally, check if the software packages stored in the AMC are up to date. If they don't have the latest version, you have to update them as well. Right-click on "Software Repository" and then select Update Software Repository > Start update.
The Software Repository can also be updated automatically. Select Schedule update in the same menu.
Usually the update of the AMC should also work automatically without any problems, if you configure it as follows:
Please make sure that "Automatically synchronize software repositories between AMC and IUM servers" is checked within the AMC at Configuration > Update.
If there is more than one IUM Server integrated in the AMC, you can choose the IUM for this purpose from the list "Default IUM for all updates" in the pull-down menu above
Please also verify that "Activate automatic mode for AMC updates" is checked at Avira Internet Update Manager > [Server]:7050 > Server Settings > General.
This option makes sure that the assigned groups will be updated with the help of the automatic update mode.

London just loves your bully sticks. It makes me happy to see how he runs off with them with he tail waving.
The only reason i did not give you a 5+ has to do with how confusing your sizing is..it takes me 2 days each time I order because it gives me a headache and the pencils have no relationship to the size and the size names are not consistent.
I highly recommend a sizing chart. Also some items have a number count and others go by weight. OMG REALLY! a ordering nightmare. i.e. the "regular" vs the "medium" ...I thought would be the same size in thickness, but surprise the reg equal approx 2 of the medium..I was greatly disappointed.
I'll even volunteer to do one for you if I could understand your system.
I would also like to see an approx. calorie count.
Ending on a positive note your prices are excellent.:)! (Posted on 9/19/14)

- WARNING! and Praise! Review by Walter
Your Rating Product ValueBull 200 All Natural 6 inch Thin Bully Sticks
Do not open the box when the dog is around! She drove me CRAZY for about an hour trying to find the sticks.
I gave her the first one and she was a little apprehensive at first but it still only took 5-10 minutes for her to consume it.
Dog information: 11 pound miniature poodle.
Previous product we used was True Chews L'ils. These sticks are slightly larger in diameter than the continually shrinking True Chews sticks. Size is consistent throughout the bag.
Odor is slightly more noticeable than with the True Chews but I attribute that to there being 200 in one bag instead of 6. Whatever the reason the smell is not overpowering or offensive.
A great value for a great product. Delivery as expected with tracking information provided on shipment. (Posted on 9/17/14)

Liébana Quesuco is a rare, semi-sweet, mild cheese made from three milks --try Mahón,Tetilla or San Simón as a substitute.
Makes 4 servings.
Prep Time: 15 min.
Cook Time: 1 hr.
Average Customer Rating: 5 out of 5based on 1 reviews
Read Reviews / Add a Review
1 brioche-type loaf of bread1 smoked Liébana Quesuco cheese (or Mahón,Tetilla or San Simón)Caramelized onion:1 lb 2 oz onions4 tbsp brown sugar4 tbsp oil4 tbsp vinegarSalt
Caramelized onions: Finely slice the peeled onions and place in a pan with the sugar, vinegar, oil and salt. Simmer until any liquid has evaporated and the onions are beginning to caramelize. The process can be speeded up by cooking the ingredients in a covered container for 15 minutes in the microwave, then quickly boiling off any excess liquid.
Slice the bread into medium-sized slices, trim any rind off the cheese and cut it into wedges. Place one wedge of cheese on each slice of bread then top with a spoonful of caramelized onion. Place the canapés in a hot oven 360 degrees F for 5 minutes to quickly melt the cheese.
Serve hot, direct from the oven.

Motorhead mainman Lemmy Kilmister has nearly completed work on his solo record.
And even if his recent health woes mean his days on tour are numbered, he has a stack of studio projects he wants to get done, including with his rockabilly outfit Head Cat.
The band recently rescheduled their winter UK and Europen tour dates for early spring next year when it became clear Kilmister hadn't fully recovered from the illnesses that put him in hospital for three weeks during the summer.
The solo record features two tracks with the Reverend Horton Heat, two with The Damned, a track with Dave Grohl and a track with Joan Jett.
Lemmy's aiming to record with Skunk Anansie vocalist Skin before the project, which was begun as far back as 2004, is complete.
The 67-year-old confirms he's given up smoking and now only drinks wine, and he's bought an exercise bike in a bid to stay keep fit.

One day someone will read my blog and ask me to review books for their magazine or publication! That is the hope. To read all day and get paid (or even to be given books!!) would be amazing.
Anyway… I digress… todays book is by NZ author Laurence Fearnley again. Why is it that every novel by a kiwi (that has been published within the last ten years and that I have read) has this cool, dreary tone about it? A slow, pondorous, introspective tone. If you read any of the books by NZers that I have blogged about lately you will know what I mean.
This book was a sad love story between an older man and a young girl. They are brought together in unusual circumstances as Edwin searches to find his mother that he hasn't seen since he was seven. This story is about an unravelling and a coming together and it is beautiful but it is also tragic. However, at the end, it was redeeming. A true love story for those who can't stand vapid, sappy ones.

Dying woman's faith grips health worker
May (name changed) poses for a photo during her first visit to a clinic in a Muslim region where Jenny Byrd (name changed), a family nurse practitioner, works. Though there was nothing Byrd could do to treat May's cancer, she helped care for the 32-year-old woman -- physically and spiritually -- in her dying days.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This story is part of an International Mission Board multimedia package on how Southern Baptist missionaries are ministering to the health needs of women overseas. Additional coverage will appear Friday in Baptist Press.
RICHMOND, Va. (BP) -- "Why have you come to see me?" family nurse practitioner Jenny Byrd* gently asks a woman named May*.
Without a word, the thin, frail woman lets her wrap fall to her waist. Tears roll down Byrd's cheeks as she stares at the rotting flesh on the woman's chest -- large tumors in her breasts and lymph nodes have erupted into open, festering sores. May's left breast is one solid, baseball-sized tumor, her stretched skin ready to burst.
Byrd, who has worked at the busy North Africa and Middle East clinic since 2008, knows there is little she can do for the 32-year-old woman.
"[The cancer] smelled rotten, looked rotten and broke my heart at the road we would walk ahead...," Byrd said.
Beneath May's stoic demeanor and her bright-pink laffaye, a traditional dress for the region, are a storm of problems. May's husband, who took a second wife after she fell ill, has kicked her out of the house and forced her to leave their village. Neighbors whisper that an evil spirit or omen is attacking her -- or perhaps Allah is punishing her. Leaving two of her children with their father, she and her youngest son now live as outcasts with her parents.
For the next four months, Byrd gives May hospice care -- visiting her hut twice a day to treat her infection and help ease her pain.
May is one of millions of women around the world who lack access to or knowledge of good health care. Issues routinely treated in America are life-threatening for women overseas: fertility, depression, pregnancy, AIDS, childbirth, rape and gynecological issues to name a few. Male-dominated cultures also leave women with minimal education. Many of them live in poverty and are regarded as property.
Over the next few weeks, Byrd feels burdened to disclose that she is a Christian; she prays with May and shares bits of the Gospel, but Byrd must use caution witnessing in a Muslim society. She also is concerned whether she can clearly explain God's Word in a new language.
Amid Byrd's uncertainties, the Lord awakened her late one night with this message: "Why have you not told her about my Son?"
The Southern Baptist worker rationalizes her reasons for not sharing -- she might be kicked out of the country, she doesn't speak the language very well, someone could retaliate against her family -- but the Lord tells Byrd not to worry, simply obey.
"The next day as I was seeing other patients and working, the Father would give me a line at a time as to what I was to say to May," Byrd recounted. "I would stop and write it down then continue on with my work. By lunchtime, He had told me every word to give to May."
After work, Byrd makes her way to May's home -- a small, grass hut tied together with strings; a plastic mat on the ground is the bed for the entire family. Nearly 30 people are sitting around visiting May and her family.
As Byrd approaches, fear grips her heart.
One visitor is wearing snow-white robes -- typical dress of a Muslim religious leader in the area. He sits at the edge of the group, speaking to no one.
"How am I to be so direct about Your truth when so many who oppose You are here?" Byrd quietly asks the Father. She receives no response -- God has already given her the answer.
Byrd enters the hut to tend to May's wounds, aware the visitors close by can hear their conversation.
"May, if you were sleeping and in the night had a vision and was told to do something, what would you do?" Byrd begins.
Immediately, May responds, "You better do it or else trouble will come."
Emboldened, Byrd continues.
"God spoke to me last night and told me I had to tell you about Him, His love for you, His plan for you and His healing for you."
May listens intently as Byrd shares the Gospel. Then, with the exact message God has given her, she tells May that God wants to know her decision.
"I choose to follow Jesus!" May exclaims.
Typically, those from Muslim backgrounds take many times of sharing, and even dreams and visions, before they believe in Jesus.
May continues to receive hospice care from Byrd for the next couple of months. She grows daily in her faith in Christ, even as her body wastes away.
"Many days, she exhibited a faith far beyond most believers who've known truth their entire lives," Byrd said.
One August afternoon in 2009, Byrd receives the phone call from May's father she has been dreading. "She's dead" is all he says.
Islamic culture dictates a body must be cleaned and prepared for burial within 24 hours, so May's family obtains a linen garment and prepares soap and water to wash her body. A Christian, or "infidel," is never allowed in the room with the body, but May's family asks Byrd to help clean and dress their loved one.
A village woman who also is helping removes May's bracelets and flings them across the room in typical mourning behavior. Byrd retrieves May's most treasured bracelet and slips it on her own wrist. When May's mother sees this tender act, she sends the other woman away -- Byrd alone has the privilege of preparing May for the grave.
"I was in complete peace as I worked with May's body one last time," Byrd said. "I knew she was in heaven and pain-free and cancer-free."
May's life and death challenged Byrd to become a bolder witness -- even now as Muslim religious leaders visit her clinic -- and to have a childlike faith, expectantly waiting on God.
"I did not know what to do for May," Byrd said. "... All I had was our heavenly Father, and ultimately that was all she needed. She left this earth with complete and total healing, inside and out.
"May continues to challenge me. ... We all need to be faithful to the task of bringing healing to broken hearts, broken people and to our broken world."

Manti Te'o was selected Friday night in the 2nd round of the NFL Draft. He was picked 38th overall by the San Diego Chargers.
Across Michiana football fans spent their Friday night watching the second round of the NFL draft. The same thing they did Thursday night, watching to see where former Irish linebacker Manti Te'o would end up. Jack Salter said, "he's a Notre Dame guy just want to see him go in the first round like Tyler did." And Notre Dame Alum Blake Garside said, "we were expecting him to go between 20 and 30 "
But when that didn't happen Salter said, "I was a little disappointed but not too surprised." Garside said, "disappointed, very disappointed "
So what caused Te'o to trip into the second round? His performance in the National Championship game where Notre Dame lost to Alabama 42 to 14? His slow 40 yard dash at the NFL combine? Or the girlfriend hoax? The football fans we talked with think it was all performance based. William Fields said, "his performance in the National Championship game, it was a lot of pressure but those are the types of games he's gonna have to deal with. it just wasn't a great showing on his part." Salter said, "he didn't run well at the combine and they were saying his speed was questionable. " Thomas Jones said, "they're looking for talent and regardless of the publicity and the weird stuff they're still going to go for the players they think can make an impact."
Before the second round of the draft started Friday night, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly appeared on NFL Network. He said Te'o was somewhat disappointed about not going in the first round. "He want to play in the NFL he wants to impact a football team, he's gonna get that opportunity in a very short period of time," said Kelly.
He would be right. Early in the second round came the news Te'o supporters were waiting for. Former Chargers player Jim Hill announced, "with the 36th selection in the NFL draft The San Diego Chargers proudly select Manti Te'o linebacker Notre Dame"
Fans were happy to see Te'o finally taken off the board. Applause erupted at O'Rourkes on Eddy Street. "That's cool I thought he would go pretty quick in the second round, said Jones, the Chargers got him and they really need help."
Some Lions and Bears fans were hoping Te'o land in Detroit or Chicago. But the Notre Dame Alumni Club of San Diego tweeted Friday night that they're looking forward to having Manti in town.
