The symptoms of bowel cancer can include:
These symptoms can also be due to complaints other than bowel cancer. But do get them checked out by your doctor, especially if they go on for more than 4 to 6 weeks.
For more information see our cancer prevention leaflet "Bowel cancer – What you should know (pdf 2.34MB)".
Testing for bowel cancer when you have no symptoms is called screening. There are plans to roll out a national bowel cancer screening programme in 2012. For more information on screening for bowel cancer visit the National Cancer Screening Service website. Screening involves a test that checks for hidden blood in your stools and a colonoscopy, if needed. Talk to your GP if you feel you or your family are at high risk.
If you are concerned about any of the above, please contact our helpline.
If you are worried about any symptoms of bowel cancer, visit your G.P. He or She can do a small number of tests first, such as;
Proctoscopy: In this test your doctor looks inside your back passage. To do this, he or she passes a short thin tube into your back passage while you are lying on your side. Air is then pumped in so that the doctor can see the area more clearly.
Sigmoidoscopy: A longer tube with a camera is used in this test. The tube is carefully put into your back passage. A light inside the tube helps the doctor see clearly. Your doctor can see any abnormal areas in one part of your bowel. He or she can take samples of the cells in your bowel. This is called a biopsy.
Colonoscopy: This test is like a sigmoidoscopy, except your whole bowel can be looked at. Photos and samples of your bowel can be taken during this test. This test can take about an hour and can be uncomfortable. You may be given sedation , just before the test ,to help you relax.
CT colonography: This is a newer test and not available in all hospitals. It is also known as a virtual colonoscopy. Air is put into your bowel by a tube put into your back passage. A number of CT scans are taken to look at your bowel. A biopsy cannot be taken during this test.
These scans can help to stage the cancer.
Learn more about the above tests
The stage of cancer describes the size of your cancer and whether it has spread from its original area to other areas in the body. Knowing the stage of your cancer will help your doctor to decide on the best treatment for your cancer.
Your doctor will stage your bowel cancer using the TNM staging system. TNM refers to the size of the tumour (T), if it has spread to your lymph nodes (N), and if it has spread to other parts of your body as metastases (M). It is a complex system but it can be roughly described as the following:
Stage 1: The cancer is in the inner wall of your colon or rectum only.
Stage 2: The cancer is in the muscle layer of your colon or rectum and may have spread to nearby tissues.
Stage 3: The cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes.
Stage 4: The cancer has spread to other parts of your body, for example your liver or lungs. This can also be called advanced cancer.

Another excellent article detailing exactly why this atrocious department must be abolished. The only problem? Romney will not abolish it. His Security Advisor is Michael Chertoff who gave us the naked body scanners and Romney, although has said he's not a fan of the TSA procedures, still wants to control airport security with 'updated measures' - whatever that means. But then again Romney is not very big on the Constitution.

Innervate doesn't keep you in one place... :)
Perhaps you meant evocation?
Besides, this skill scales with your health and mana pools; the more you got the powerfuler (if that's a word lol) it becomes. Unlike innervate OR evocation I might add, as these scale from spirit instead. Or, at least innervate does. So, once you start getting epixes and a huge mana pool, an innervate really doesn't give you all that much back. Except if you happen to have a spirit tap going on you at the same time that is...
Dispersion looks like a great, awesome skill, unless you happen to be swimming in mana for some reason. I don't see why pretty much every spriest wouldn't want to stick ONE lousy talent point in that slot.

Rapper 50 Cent Out of the Hospital After Car Crash
NEW YORK (KTLA) -- Rapper and actor 50 Cent is out of the hospital after being hurt in a car accident early Tuesday, his rep said.
The 36-year-old's SUV was rear-ended by a big rig on the Long Island Expressway, according to a website associated with him, ThisIs50.com.
A message posted on the site around 3 a.m. said: "50 Cent was in a bad accident tonight as his bulletproof SUV was rear-ended by a Mack truck on the LIE in NYC. He was put on a stretcher and taken to the nearest Queens hospital where they are currently running tests on his neck and back."
Photos of the rapper on a stretcher and wearing a neck brace also appeared on the site.
50 Cent's rep confirmed that he was taken to New York Hospital Queens where he was treated for "minor neck and back injuries."
The performer, who's real name is Curtis Jackson, is now out of the hospital and is "doing fine," his rep added.
His driver, Bruce Miller, was also injured.
Music website Complex Music reported that the driver of the big rig said the load in his truck shifted, causing him to lose control.Copyright © 2014, Orlando Sentinel

Twins-Orioles: PregamePosted on May 7th, 2009 – 4:07 PM
By La Velle
The tarp is on the field.
I'm not kidding.
This time, the radar shows only a small cell moving through the area. Everyone expects the game to be played. So the arks will stay locked up.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire did not back off his comments from last night that the game should have never started. The players feel the same way. But they are going to move forward and try to avoid a third straight loss.
Some minor league notes:
The biggest news is that righthander Shooter Hunt, the Twins first-round sandwich pick last year, has been demoted to the bullpen at Class A Beloit after posting a 10.43 ERA in five starts. He walked 29 batters in 14.2 innings.
"It's a mental thing now," Twins minor league director Jim Rantz said.
Carlos Gutierrez has been named Twins minor league pitcher of the month after going 0-1, 0.79 with a 0.65 WHIP.
Santiago Santana was named minor league player of the month after batting .393 with three homers and 10 RBI at Beloit.
Rene Leveret, the burly slugger at Class A Fort Myers, is out with a sore hamstring.
Rochester infielder Alejandro Machado has a swollen left knee.
Shortstop prospect Estarlin De Los Santos might have a stress fracture in one of this shins. He's undergoing tests
Catcher Eli Tintor has been released. Alan De San Miguel will take his place at Class A Beloit.
Fort Myers infielder Yangervis Solarte is out for the season because of labrum surgery.
Outfielder Danny Ortiz, a fourth-round pick last year, might be done for the year because of meniscus problem.
Jason Pridie recently had a 16-game hitting streak at Rochester end. He must have been getting a hit a day because he entered today batting .255.
Finally, Joe Gaetti, son of G-Man, has been traded to the Rangers organization. For what? It could be a player, or, "it could be a dollar," Rantz said. Sounds like one of those deals where an organization is in a jam for bodies. The Twins help the Rangers now, the Rangers help the Twins later – or give them a dollar.

Dolly Parton announces water coaster coming to Splash Country
Swim suit-clad families crowded together next to Bear Mountain Fire Tower in Dollywood's Splash Country waterpark on Saturday to see Dolly Parton herself.
Parton was there to announce plans to build Tennessee's first water coaster, RiverRush, at Splash Country.
RiverRush will combine rushing water with a hydromagnetic coaster to create a thrilling water ride with tight twists and turns, dark tunnels and plunging drops.
The track of the water coaster will be 1,175 feet long and stand four stories tall.
"You know me. I love making a big splash, and RiverRush is all that and a whole lot more," Parton said.
Riders will sit four to a toboggan-style boat propelled by a high-speed conveyor belt. The boats will climb 237 feet in the air in preparation for a 25-foot 45-degree angle drop.
Parton on Saturday dressed the part: Wearing a sparkly blue suit and red cape, Parton's character was "Splash Woman," and she didn't disappoint with her entrance.
"Anyone need to cool off?" she asked the audience after riding onto the stage in a raft and squirting a water gun in the air.
"She was very flashy, very 'Dolly-ish,'" said Nancy Heinrich of Maryville.
She and her family have been to Dollywood parks seven times, and she said they were glad to finally get to see Parton.
Parton performed a short skit with 10 kids from the East Tennessee area, in which "Splash Man" was seeking more adventure in his life and "Splash Woman" was able to help by unveiling the new ride.
Tom Sayres of Knoxville watched his grandson Mason Myers, 9, up on stage. The children in the skit were dubbed "Splash Kids" and got their own capes and T-shirts.
"RiverRush is the product of the next generation of water coasters, and we are thrilled that Dollywood's Splash Country will be home to Tennessee's first and only water coaster for families to enjoy," said Amy Owenby, vice president of waterparks.
Dollywood opened 12 seasons ago and has added four new rides to its parks since 2006. RiverRush is expected to open in May 2013.

About Newport Martial Arts
Our History on the Island
Newport Martial Arts is a family owned and operated martial arts school offering instruction for students ages 3 and up, white belt through advanced black belts. We hope you find all the information you seek on our website, but if not, please feel free to contact us. Our martial arts family has been teaching karate on Aquidneck Island since 1995. The first school, located at the Connell Highway rotary, was owned and operated by Shihan Don Rodrigues under the name Don Rodriques Karate Academy. In 1997, the business was purchased by Mr. Alan Toti, one of Shihan Rodrigues' black belts who moved the school to it's current location at the rear of the building at 800 Aquidneck Avenue. At that time, the name was changed to Newport Martial Arts. In June of 2005, the school was purchased by its current owners, Mr. Steve Burrill and Ms. Linda Haverty, two of Mr. Toti's black belts. In the summer of 2008, the current owners expanded the facility to add a second training area on the first floor space facing Aquidneck Ave.
Interested in learning more?
Our Facilities
Newport Martial Arts currently consists of two spaces at 800 Aquidneck Avenue in Middletown, RI. The "upstairs" space, with frontage on the street, has 600 sq. ft. of mat, a viewing area, and one bathroom. The "downstairs" space houses the Proshop; the office; 900 sq. ft. of mat; a viewing area; two large bathrooms; and a private lesson (or individual practice) room. At NMA, we pride ourselves on being "mother clean" -- you will never hesitate to let your children be barefoot on our mats or in the bathrooms.

Parise's Gone Wild! Here's A List of Remaining Crappy UFAsWednesday, July 4th, 2012
Parise is gone. $98 million over 13 years from your home state team will do that to some people. Deal with it.
Parise is gone. $98 million over 13 years from your home state team will do that to some people. Deal with it.
It's here! The day we've all not been waiting for… UFA Day!
Today marks the 17 year anniversary of the New Jersey Devils' first Stanley Cup Championship.
After the New Jersey Devils selected Stefan Matteau (player profile) with yesterday's first round pick, they were back at it today in rounds two through seven in the 2012 NHL Draft.
The New Jersey Devils have selected Stefan Matteau with their first round pick, 29th overall, in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
The league announced the hosts for the next two NHL Entry Draft's today, with the home of the New Jersey Devils, the Prudential Center, hosting the 2013 Draft.
It seems like the season just ended (I guess because it just did for us Devils fans), but the schedule for next season is already here!
With the Stanley Cup Final over, and (what will seem like) a very short off-season, it's time top look at the upcoming free agents for the New Jersey Devils.
Blah, blah, blah…we know the deal. The Devils are still playing hockey! This guide will (hopefully) lead you in the right direction, no matter what you're looking for.
Whether you're looking for tickets, a viewing party, a local establishment that has fine drink specials for adults, or what channel the Devils will be on, this guide will (hopefully) lead you in the right direction.

ADHD in Children Health Center
ADHD Medication Titration
Titration and the Role of Parents
Prescribing ADHD medication isn't always an exact science. It can sometimes take weeks or months to arrive at the correct dose for your child. Make sure that all your questions about the medication and the titration process are answered. And make sure that you fully understand what to expect from the medication before you begin using it.
Parents, as well as the child with ADHD, will need to participate in this process. ADHD medications affect every child differently. So it's important to monitor your child for improvements and side effects during titration.
After your child has been taking the ADHD medicine for at least one week, you and your child's teachers should track ADHD symptoms. You and the teachers should be alert for and report any side effects that occur during treatment.
After a month of treatment, see your child's doctor again. At that time, the doctor can make sure that the:
- medicine is working
- dosage is correct
- side effects are acceptable to you and your child
Once the proper dose is established, experts recommend visiting the doctor regularly -- about every three to six months. The doctor will check whether the drug regimen your child is taking is still appropriate and effective.
If your child does develop side effects, don't change the medication dose or stop taking it without first talking to the doctor.

Meet the Mutants: Your guide to the characters of X-Men First Class
- Tuesday, May 31, 2011
About the actor: Lucas Till had a leading role in Battle: Los Angeles and portrayed a young Johnny Cash in the Oscar winning film Walk the Line. Some of Till's early work includes starring opposite to Jackie Chan in The Spy Next Door and Miley Cyrus in Hanna Montana: The Movie.
AKA: Sean Cassidy
While this goofy red-head may be inept at flirting; he still shows his worth in the ranks of First Class. Banshee's powerful lungs, throat, and vocal chords allow him to produce a sonic scream capable of shattering glass. While good for stunning enemies, his powerful voice can also be used as a type of radar and, with the help of certain equipment, even allows him to fly. Like his teammates, it's only through Xavier's patient tutelage that his full potential is realized.
*To view the Banshee character trailer, click here
About the actor: Caleb Landry Jones has appeared in many major films including No Country for Old Men and The Social Network. He has also had recurring roles in the television series Breaking Bad and Friday Night Lights.
AKA: Angel Salvadore
Angel Salvadore is a young dancer who possesses a beautiful set of dragonfly wings. Don't get too close though, as she can also shoot acid projectiles from her mouth. Early trailers have depicted her meeting Charles and Eric who politely offer her a job "that doesn't involve taking your clothes off". Whether she shares her employer's faith in humanity remains to be seen.
About the actor: Zoe Kravitz is the daughter of musician Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet. Kravitz made her acting debut in 2007's No Reservations which starred Catherine Zeta Jones and Aaron Eckhart.
AKA: Armando Munoz
As his name suggests, Darwin's power has to do with evolution. His mutation allows him to alter his body to suite his environment, growing gills when under water or gaining night vision when the sun goes down. He is among the first mutants recruited to join the X-Men, but soon finds himself at a crossroads between Charles Xavier's dream of mutant prosperity and Sebastian Shaw's goal of world domination.
About the actor: Edi Gathegi had a notable recurring role as Dr. Cole in the FOX medical drama House, and also portrayed the vampire Laurent in the films Twilight, and New Moon. His other acting credentials include Gone Baby Gone, directed by Ben Affleck, and Crank with Jason Statham.
The Hellfire Club
Facing off against the X-Men in the new movie is The Hellfire Club, a group of socially elite mutants bent on world domination. The Clubs leader, Sebastian Shaw hopes to start a war among humanity that will end with mutants inheriting the earth. Below are the clubs members.
Black King
AKA: Sebastian Shaw
The lead villain of X-Men: First Class, Sebastian Shaw was a Nazi collaborator whose early studies on mutation destroyed the life of young Erik Lehnsherr. Now, as leader of the Hellfire Club, Shaw hopes to use the escalating tension of the Cold War to his advantage and sets off a chain of events that put the entire world in jeopardy. As a mutant, Shaw has the power to absorb kinetic energy and re-channel it, using it to create explosions or grant him super strength. Recent trailers have also shown him donning a particular helmet that fans of the X-series will find all too familiar.

Dumb & Dumber (1994)
Plot Summary
A pair of dumb friends named Harry and Lloyd set out on a cross country trip to return a briefcase full of money to its rightful owner, a beautiful woman named Mary Swanson. However, the duo are unaware of a bigger conspiracy involving Mary and the briefcase, and a pair of criminals involved in the conspiracy attempt to chase Harry and Lloyd down for the briefcase.- Written by Sam
Lloyd Christmas is a limo driver who's a few beers short of a six pack. His equally clueless roommate Harry Dunn is an operator for a mobile pet grooming service called "Mutt Cutts". One day Lloyd is assigned to pick up a wealthy customer for a ride to the airport. He believes this customer - named Mary Swanson - is the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. Little does Lloyd know that Mary is the victim of an elaborate kidnapping and extortion plot, and that the trip to the airport was supposed to be the payoff to release her kidnapped husband. Lloyd grabs the briefcase and that sets off a chain of events that see him and Harry going to Aspen, Colorado hell bent on delivering the briefcase to Mary. But along the way, they meet nearly every seedy and shady character involved in the conspiracy. But Lloyd doesn't know that the briefcase he's set on delivering to Mary contains nearly $5 million in cash. And his friendship with Harry is tested at every stop along the way, will they make it to Aspen and live the high life? Or face the wrath of the kidnappers and the FBI?- Written by halo1k

Working as a limo driver, Lloyd drops off the beautiful Mary at the airport and instantly falls in love with her. Watching Mary through a window, Lloyd witnesses her leave her case behind. Grabbing her case, Lloyd is too late, but soon thinks of the next best thing. Dragging Harry with him, Lloyd heads off to Aspen to deliver the case to her personally. However, Mary isn't the only person after the case, as a pair of criminals are after the same case.- Written by FilmFanUk

However, this was not the case this time. In under an hour, money was scattered about the stage (twice), and an interesting thing happened to a violin -- but more on that later.
The "Fresh Ink" composition recital last Monday was charged with social commentary and insights into the natural world. The recital began with "Rolling Hills, Rolling Thunder" by Carl Haskins '09 as a musical appetizer for listeners. According to Haskins, the piece explored "the range and sounds of the string bass" while tonally portraying a storm intruding on the placid pastoral scene of the introduction via metrical interruptions.
After priming the listener's palates, "Fresh Ink" took its first move towards social commentary with "A Poor Man's Change" by Whit Noble 08. The piece expresses "the longing of the poor for comfort" with borrowed harmonies from Henry Cowell and the eerie sound of change dropping into a glass jar. At the end of the piece, the change dropped into the jar is dumped onto the stage to leave the audience with the feeling of emotional chaos.
Next, Jacob Dalager '09 stole the night's attention with performers wearing ski masks and a smashing finale. "Para todos todo, para nosotros nada" screams revolution through its five movements: "E", "Z", "L", "N" and "¡Ya Basta!." "E" for Ejército, the march of the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (Zapatista Army of National Liberation), which was established in 1994 in Chiapas, Mexico, begins the piece with a burning first violin melody over the rest of the quartet.
The second movement, "Z" for Zapatista, represents the community's desire for resistance by the players switching instruments. This movement brings an audience intimately into contact with the piece as they laugh during each switch. The performers play the movement on open strings "to demonstrate the effectiveness and beauty of simplicity" in revolution.
"L" for Liberación contrasts the fuller sounds of the first and second movement with unsettling, alternating harmonics. The Zapatista Hymn in "N" for Nacional brings a merry-go-round feel to the stage that contrasts the harshness of the rest of the piece and opens the audiences ears in preparation for the finale.
"¡Ya Basta!" finishes the piece with "a call for change." The music of this last movement is far overshadowed by the performance aspect. Midway through the piece, the music halts. The violist takes the first violinist's bow, walks to the side of the stage and proceeds to pick up a black violin with a red star on the back -- the Symbol of the EZLN. On the other side of the violin is a dollar sign.
After playing for a short while, the performer, still in a black ski mask, takes the violin and smashes it on stage like a heavy metal guitarist. Pieces of the violin scatter about the stage as money that was hidden inside floats above the destruction. The rest of the performers proceed to stomp and destroy what little is left of the violin. After the performance ended, the audience clapped loudly and laughed with vocal gestures of astonishment. One student simply commented: "Holy crap, are you serious?"
The last piece, by Paul Heggeseth '08 came back to themes of nature with his electotronica piece "And Deeper." The piece addresses issues "between the natural world and the human world" through interposing rain forest sounds with machine gun fire and clips from Mahler's third symphony. With the lights turned down low, listening to an electronic piece over a P.A. system is almost movie-like. It's easy for a listener to sit back and just listen as opposed to focusing on the visual aspect of a more traditional performance.
The general reaction after "Fresh Ink" was positive. "I enjoy attending composition recitals because of their laid back atmosphere," Sarah Johnson '08 said.
And these new ideas were done justice by not over-saturating the audience with material. The recital felt cohesive and rounded, which was unexpected and appreciated. And the extra excitement of a violin being smashed didn't hurt any either.

At Misti Belle's Hair & Beauty, savvy stylists sculpt and cut hair to complement each client's unique personality and facial angles. With a specialty in hair coloring, the team members use top-shelf products to bring out rich, natural-looking colors and can inspire hair to become as smooth as Kenny G's speaking voice with quality keratin-treatment products.
Bronzed and Beautiful's mobile services offers quick and meticulous airbrush tanning without the hassle of a salon. Technicians deploy to the client's home with various customizable spray-tan options, all of which are organic, all-natural, and paraben-free. Although naturally fragrance-free, aromas such as cherry blossom or country apple may be added to the solution, as can glitter. In addition to bronzing skin, Bronzed and Beautiful also brightens teeth through whitening pens, toothpaste, and mouthwash.
Becky M. Hogge, a licensed cosmetologist for more than 24 years, sees Urban Escape Salon and Day Spa as a space outside of time. She and her staff view their venue as a sanctuary where clients can recline and recharge before walking back into busy schedules. Managing such an oasis is not as restful as visiting one, however. To update her repertoire of services, Becky attends hair shows and continuing-education classes throughout the year. Her resulting expertise allows her to style all hair types, to imbue strands with fresh color, and to craft formal updos for special occasions. She is also certified in keratin straightening treatments and staunchly believes in the aesthetic value of professional salon products. Formulas from Redken, Pureology, and Bioelements all contribute to her trimming and texturizing appointments.
In addition to haircare, the spa hosts a catalog of relaxing body treatments. Massage techniques range from Swedish and deep-tissue modalities to hot-stone work and reflexology. Nail technicians beautify hands and feet with mani-pedis and paraffin dips, a more professional moisturizing method than wearing lotion-filled mittens. Custom facials, facial waxing, tanning, and makeup applications round out the menu of pampering services.
Lounging amid the salon's robin's-egg blue walls, guests undergo full-on makeovers via 3-D nail designs and cut and color treatments. One Touch of Paradise is also a multicultural salon, which means that each stylist is an expert in all hair types, regardless of color or texture.

possibilist fanfiction—21. give the bruises out like gifts. also currently: queer & post-colonial theory, extra dry decaf skim cappuccino, good rosé wine, mason jars, callused knuckles, all of the quiet ghosts in bloom. (& quinn fabray.)
the art of boxes
[these updates might be a little shorter than my one-shots, but they'll be frequent. listen to regina spektor's "firewood" because she wrote it for faberry. you can read the story here, on my lj, or on ffn. part 1 here.]
two. sadness would rise from our bones and evaporate in sunlight the way morning fog burned off the river in summer
"I love your shoes," he says, gesturing to her oxfords.
Quinn turns her head to glance at the guy next to her. He has dark, rich skin and even darker eyes, hair cropped close to his scalp. He's tall and thin and Quinn's pretty sure he's a dancer. She smiles. "I love your shoes."
He laughs. "Flea market in Berlin," he says, then sits in the chair next to Quinn's, so that they're sharing the thin table. It's the second day of syllabus week, and Quinn's early to her first Analysis of Literature class because she'd left plenty of time for her to get lost and still find the right building, which hadn't actually happened.
"I got mine in Ohio," she says.
The guy smiles, offering his hand. "I'm David."
David leans back in his chair. "So are you from Ohio?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
David pats her on the shoulder with a sympathetic pout. "Well, if it makes you feel any better, I'd never have guessed that."
Quinn twirls her pen between her fingers. "That does, actually."
"Excellent," David says, adjusting his scarf. "I'm from Dallas."
"I'm sorry."
"Me too."
"It's okay. I'm from Ohio, remember?"
David smiles. So does Quinn, uncapping her pen and doodling a little in her brand new notebook.
"I'm a sophomore," he says.
David says, "I'd never have guessed that either."
Quinn laughs. "Excellent."
More people start to file in and soon their professor arrives, hands out syllabi. Class goes by quickly and they get out a little early.
As they walk out of the building, David asks, "Where are you headed?"
Quinn points in the direction of her dorm.
David crooks his arm. "Me too."
Quinn smiles and slips her hand around his forearm.
"So, Quinn, you're a dancer, right?"
Quinn smiles. "Yeah. You too, huh?"
David nods. "We should dance sometime together."
Quinn slows down, turning so that she can look at David. "I—uh—"
David shakes his head, waving a hand in the air. "Oh, honey, it's not a date. Did you think it was a date? Because I'm a pretty obvious gay and if you couldn't tell that, we're really going to need to—"
Quinn smiles, wrapping her arm around David's again. "I just wanted to be sure. I'm gay too," she says.
"You are the hottest lesbian I've ever seen," David tells her, hugging her playfully.
He's the second person she's told at Yale, and Quinn thinks of the box that her new camera came in—it was small, but it held lenses and instructions on how to see the world.
They get to her building and Quinn says, "I can't wait to dance with you."
David smiles. "It was nice to meet you, Quinn."
Quinn thinks of Casablanca.
Wednesday evening, she and Hazel are deciding where their new My Brightest Diamond poster should go—over Quinn's desk or on Hazel's closet door—when Hazel asks, "So have you come out to Rachel?"
Quinn sucks in a breath, sits down on her bed. "No. Not yet."
"But you like her?"
Quinn nods. The mattress shifts as Hazel sits down next to Quinn. "Does she like you?"
Quinn shrugs.
"Is she gay?"
Quinn tugs on the sleeve of her Yale sweatshirt. "I don't think so. But she—Rachel's just—I could give her everything."
Hazel wraps an arm around Quinn's shoulders and says, "Please don't start crying."
Quinn laughs. "I can't promise anything."
Hazel's fingers squeeze Quinn's arm gently. "You should tell her. At least that you're gay."
Quinn nods. "She'll be fine with that. She has two gay dads."
"Oh," Hazel says. "Should I clear my schedule for a gay pride parade soon, then?"
Quinn rolls her eyes. "You're so funny."
"That's what they tell me."
Quinn takes a deep breath. She leans her head against Hazel's soft sweater.
"And besides," Hazel says, "if there was any girl in the entire world someone would go gay for, you'd probably be up there on the list."
Quinn laughs and Hazel winks playfully.
They hang the poster above Quinn's bed, because Quinn knows be brave, dear one, be changed, or be undone should be the chorus pumping through her blood.
She can't fall asleep on Thursday night. It's silly, because she wants to be rested for when Rachel gets there the next afternoon, but it feels like the night before an AP Exam or a big final—Quinn feels pressure and Quinn feels the heavy, heavy weight of a million expectations, and Quinn feels her own frustration at not being able to escape the smoke of the house of herself that's on fire from her very own matches.
She falls asleep in the ink of the early morning, and she has nightmares: She can see twisted metal and hear the crunch of glass as paramedics make their way to her car. She can't move and she can't breathe.
She wakes up sweating, and it's still dark. Her clock says 5:24 am, and Quinn takes her shaking hands and places them against her shins. The air in her dorm stings her lungs but her nerves fire correctly—miraculously—and all ten fingers are vivid along her legs.
She picks up her phone and climbs out of bed, walks into the hallway as quietly as possible, so Hazel doesn't wake up.
Santana answers on the second ring. "Fuck you, Quinn," she says.
"I'm sorry." Quinn can hear the tremble in her voice, so she's sure Santana can too.
Santana sighs, but she doesn't say anything. Quinn listens to the comforting sounds of her breath—oxygen masks and chest tubes and this is going to hurt—and then Santana says, "You're okay."
It's certain and gentle and her stitches had come out, and Quinn believes her.
She says, "Thanks, Santana."
"I still hate you," Santana says, but then she says, "I'm glad you're okay, though."
Quinn creaks open the door to her room and climbs in bed. "Love you," she whispers.
Santana says, "Yeah. Love you too."
Quinn sleeps soundly until her alarm goes off in the morning.
It's 3:31 when Rachel's train gets in. Quinn almost feels sick, but it's not from dread; she's just excited now.
And then Rachel's the third person off, and there really aren't that many people at the station so they see each other right away.
Quinn forces herself to walk normally—instead of running-across-the-field-in-Dirty Dancing-happily—but Rachel skips a little.
She's wearing a short red dress with little birds printed on it, and sunglasses, and then Quinn is holding her in her arms, and it just feels so good, so right, and Rachel's hair is still long and soft and a pretty brown, and Rachel says, "I've missed you so much."
Quinn remembers birthday presents from her sister when they were little, a box full of her favourite chocolate, ever year.
They walk around Yale for a little while—Quinn points out a few of her favourite spots—and then Rachel grabs her hand.
Quinn pretends like it doesn't mean anything, and Rachel rambles on and on when Quinn asks about her classes, but Quinn can't help but think that if anyone walking around right now, to classes, to meet friends for coffee, to see their lover, saw them, they'd think they were together.
Her chest feels tight at the notion, full and heavy in the good way, the same way that beautiful books and the ocean make her feel: like she's small and insignificant, but like there is a whole world out there constructed just for her.
"And then, my professor asked each of us to say our favourite animal, and this one girl, Martha, I think—"
"—Rachel," Quinn says, and Rachel stops talking. "I have, I have something to tell you," Quinn says. She wasn't planning on telling Rachel now—the goal was to wait until two hours before Rachel was supposed to leave on Sunday afternoon, so that if it got really awkward Rachel could just take an earlier train but Quinn would have at least gotten to see her for a little while—but Rachel's face looks so gentle when she nods and her hand feels so warm and small and perfect that Quinn says, "I'm gay."
Rachel's brows knit together and she leans forward a little, but she doesn't take her hand away. "Are you—you're sure?"
Quinn nods.
Rachel bites her bottom lip and Quinn remembers seeing the container of blood and fluid being drained from her lung, red and translucent and horrible.
But then Rachel smiles a little and says, "You make so much more sense now."
Quinn laughs. "It's great, isn't it?"
Rachel nods, squeezes Quinn's hand. "It's wonderful."
They walk to a restaurant just by campus that Quinn knows serves vegan stuff—it's the first thing she looks for now, when she goes anywhere—and they sit at a little booth, Rachel across from her.
They talk happily about classes and music—Quinn wants to ask about Finn and she wants to ask about Rachel's sexual orientation and she wants to ask about lips and fingers and breasts and then she thinks it's funny that her brain short-circuits to a Rachel-like rambling default mode—but nothing serious.
The waiter brings their food, and then Quinn hears Rachel take a deep breath and put down her fork.
"I know it must've been really hard for you to decide to be honest with yourself," she says.
"Yeah," Quinn mumbles.
Rachel shakes her head. "With your background and your faith, I just—did you know for a long time?"
"Yeah," Quinn says again.
Rachel puts her fingers between Quinn's. "I'm so proud of you."
Quinn bites her lip. "You know when you're standing on the beach, and you just look out at the ocean, and it's like you're the only person in the entire world. Small and alone."
Rachel says, "Yes."
Quinn nods. "But then you just kind of think that maybe one other person, on some other continent, somewhere entirely different, someone you'll never even know, ever, is doing the same thing. And you think of them, and you hope they're thinking of you."
"Is that what you feel like now?" Rachel's voice is a whisper.
Quinn smiles. "Yeah."
"Me too," Rachel says.
The weekend is simple. Rachel laughs at Hazel's impression of Quinn in the morning, and they all have dinner the next night with David and a few other friends from the dorms, and Rachel sleeps in Quinn's bed without question.
They are friends.
At the station on Sunday, Rachel says, "Your hair's gotten so long."
Quinn nods. "I've been too busy to get a haircut."
Rachel tucks a strand behind Quinn's ear. "Come see me anytime."
"How does next weekend sound?"
Rachel laughs. "Perfect."
They hug for a long time.
Rachel doesn't treat Quinn any differently. It's heartbreaking but it's also the most comforting notion Quinn has ever felt: They're still continents apart, but continents shift and there are boats to take them across the sea.
i mention lyrics from "be brave" by my brightest diamond. the chapter title is from "light boxes" by shane jones.

Hallowed Ground FAQs
Hallowed Ground Magazine
When is Hallowed Ground published?
Hallowed Ground is published quarterly in March, June, September and December.
Who writes the articles in Hallowed Ground?
The Trust seeks out top historians in their filed to provide our Hallowed Ground feature articles. Preservation news articles are written by Trust staff, while most Field Reports are submitted by the profiled organization itself.
Can I submit an article for publication?
Since we work closely with historians to ensure that our feature articles correspond to areas where the Trust has been actively involved in land preservation, as well as the sesquicentennial anniversary calendar, Hallowed Ground does not publish unsolicited manuscripts of this type. You are welcome to submit story ideas for other departments in the magazine to firstname.lastname@example.com. However, due to space constraints, long lead times and other considerations, our ability to accommodate all suggestions may be limited.
I'd like more information about something I read in the magazine, where should I look?
There are always more fascinating details to every story than we could possibly fit in a given issue of Hallowed Ground. Visit www.civilwar.org/hallowedground to find some of these resources. If you have a specific question, please send it to firstname.lastname@example.com. Try to reference the article or page that inspired your inquiry, so that it can be passed along to the appropriate staff member or historian.
I believe I found an error in Hallowed Ground, how should I report it?
Although we work hard to keep the magazine accurate, mistakes do occasionally happen. Please let us know of any inadvertent errors by writing to firstname.lastname@example.com.
A local preservation group or roundtable I belong to has been very active in a project I think would interest Trust members. How do we get featured in a Field Report?
You can submit a summary of your group's activities (500 words maximum) to email@example.com. Unfortunately space and timing constraints will prevent us from publishing all submissions.
What are the rates to advertise in Hallowed Ground?
Due to Hallowed Ground's status as benefit to Trust members we are legally forbidden from taking paid advertisements. Products and services promoted within the magazine result in a direct monetary contribution to battlefield preservation and are part of longstanding partnerships.
Why is my magazine marked "Last Issue," I just contributed toward a battlefield acquisition?
In order to be considered an active Trust member, you must regularly renew your basic membership in addition to any specific land acquisition efforts you choose to participate in. If you still feel this is in error, contact our membership center at 1-888-606-1400 to verify your record.
How do I change the address my magazine is delivered to?
Your magazine is delivered to the same address as the rest of your membership mailings. To change your address, contact our membership center at 1-888-606-1400.

Gary Saint Denis's '1-800-Dentist' Helps Over 4 Million Customers
: Gary Saint Denis
MUM Degree
: BA, Philosophy, 1979
: Chairman and Founder, Trusted Hands Network
Founded and Ran for 24 Years
($50 million annual revenue)
: Santa Barbara, Calif.
Fun Fact
: In 1997, Gary bought a scenic bluff with 4 cottages on it from the Beach Boys' Mike Love
The year was 1984, and Gary Saint Denis was living the life. A successful stock broker at Merrill Lynch in Beverly Hills, he was in this early 20's, energetic, optimistic, financially successful, and reveling in the beach life of Santa Monica. What he really wanted to do, though, he had yet to attempt. When he did manage to realize his vision, it would include founding and running a company worth $50 million — and helping millions of people in need.
Gary grew up in suburban Connecticut, transferring out of Bryant University in Rhode Island to attend MUM (then MIU) in 1974. "My initial college experience was hollow," says Gary, who recalls picking up an MUM course catalog and being enthralled by what he found in it. "I told my parents that's where I want to go." He enrolled at MUM as a philosophy major.
In his senior year, Gary became intrigued by the stock market and investing. After he graduated, he returned home to Connecticut to start an investment company with three MUM classmates. Quickly it thrived. But Gary had always been enchanted by sunny southern California, where he'd been on vacations, and wanted to move there.
He cold-called several stock brokerage firms in Santa Barbara, landing a job at EF Hutton, where he ranked #1 in his class as a new trainee. In 1982, he began work at Merrill Lynch in Beverly Hills.
A socially-conscious vision comes into focus
"What I really wanted was to start my own business," says Gary, who had always been struck by companies that were beholden to the bottom line at the expense of the needs of everyday people. "I wanted to start a business that didn't have a conflict of interest built into it, one that could be successful
a service to society. And I wanted to create a work environment where people would love to come to work."
In 1986, Gary cofounded 1-800-Dentist, a dental referral service, with partner and MUM classmate Fred Joyal. The company started out in a miniscule 300-square-foot office in Santa Monica. Today, 24 years later, it fills 30,000 square feet, employs a workforce of 300, and helps 4.5 million people find dentists each year.
MUM was the path that began it all
"My experience in starting 1-800-Dentist was directly an outgrowth of my time at MUM," says Gary. "I loved being around likeminded people and helping to build that community. That was part of what we were trying to do with the company. My years at MUM laid the foundation for that."
In 2011, after more than two decades serving as Chairman and CEO of 1-800-Dentist, Gary sold most of his interest in the company to the financial services giant, Bain Capital, who bought it out. At the time of the sale, 1-800-Dentist was earning $50 million a year.
What next for this entrepreneur and expert at developing business models that provide services that improve people's lives? In 2011, Gary founded
Trusted Hands Network
, based in Encino, Calif., a firm that matches seniors with the home care services they need.
Says Gary, "We help 'the silver tsunami' — elders who want to age gracefully and at home." Trusted Hands Network comprises over 500 rigorously-screened home health care agencies that provide seniors with the highest quality certified services available on the market.
An MUM family affair
Sometimes, Gary's business ventures yield unexpected, serendipitous outcomes. Like back in 1986, just after he had started 1-800-Dentist with a handful of employees. One of them was a young woman named Joanie, who Gary was interested in. Though their connection was kinetic, she refused to date her boss. Gary, ever the problem solver, came up with a solution. "I fired her," he says. "Soon we were madly in love." The couple married in 1987.
In 1990, their son Remy was born. Daughter Eva is currently a 19-year-old undergraduate at MUM studying business.
Gary's family is steeped in the MUM tradition. His sister, Linda, an MUM graduate, married Chris Hartnett, another MUM grad, and their children,
, Kristen and Grace
all graduated from MUM. Heather is a new MUM trustee and Kristen married Matt Levi, an MUM grad and the son of MUM professor Keith Levi. And the MUM connections don't stop there. Gary introduced his sister, Sandra, to Jack Cross, one of Gary's MUM classmates, whom she married.
"I've stayed in contact with many of my friends I met at MUM," says Gary. "MUM altered the course of my life in so many ways."
Gary sees a deep connection between his successes and the education he received at MUM. "You really do create your own reality," he says. "As
used to say, 'The world is as you are.' I've had the good fortune to have financial success, live in paradise, have a wonderful family, and enjoy good health. At 57, I'm grateful to be able to savor the nature of the relative and enjoy the Creator's handiwork. I've been very lucky, and I never forget that."

(AP) — Judging by their recent results in Boston, a visit to Fenway Park wouldn't appear to help the Detroit Tigers in their quest to return to first place in the AL Central.
The Tigers, though, will have Max Scherzer on the mound for Monday night's series opener against the Boston Red Sox, who will seek their first three-game win streak in nearly six weeks.
As it enters the final series of a nine-game trip, Detroit (54-48) trails Chicago by 1 1/2 games in the Central and is heading to a ballpark where it's lost seven of eight.
The Tigers dropped the first three games during their most recent visit at the end of May before Scherzer (10-5, 4.49 ERA) helped them earn a 7-3 victory in the series finale.

History Book Club
Primary tabs
Join us as we discuss Hitler's Furies: German Women in the Nazi Killing Fields, a National Book Award finalist by historian Wendy Lower. The book focuses on the variety of women's roles in Nazi Germany, a topic very little has been written about.
Lower focuses on women who went east into Poland, Belarus and other conquered territories as nurses, teachers, secretaries and wives. Writing about several particular women and their stories, the author he asks difficult questions about what German women's part in the genocide was and how we might need to rethink our understanding of how the Nazi state worked. She organizes the book into women who are witness, accomplices and perpetrators of violence in the Third Reich.
Reading the book ahead of time is strongly encouraged, but all are welcome.

Information Sessions
- Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 3:30 in Mary Gates Hall 211 B
About the Program
The program will present Romania's past and present, with an emphasis on how much communist remnants are still part of the everyday life and to what extent history plays an important role in justifying the present. During the Spring quarter, the three orientation sessions will offer students background information about Romanian history and geography, cuisine and mentality, culture and life, as a way of introduction to our exploration on the site.
In Bucharest, Brasov, Sibiu, and Suceava, the major stops of our journey in Romania, students will attend lectures offered by Romanian scholars and will also directly encounter artifacts, edifices, monuments, and artwork previewed in class. Lectures will address topics from medieval history to the 19th century transformation into a nation-state and 20th century literature (Blandiana, Cartarescu, Popescu, Manea), as well as the struggles of artists under communist censorship. In Bucharest, students will have the opportunity to meet award-winning directors (Cristi Puiu and Cristian Mungiu) and watch some of their internationally acclaimed movies.
Film screenings, city walks, field trips to Sighisoara and Bran, and museum tours will complete our experience and, at the same time, will offer students the opportunity to make connections with Romanian students and professors.
Students will upload their findings on the blog everyday, creating thus a pool of topics from which each student will choose one to develop into a 2,500-word article. Articles will be proposed for publication to the journals of our host universities.
To learn more about our host universities visit the following websites:
Center of Excellence in Image Studies, University of Bucharest: http://cesi.ro/ro/info/general.htm

Academic Credit
Students will receive 5 credits which will fulfill Honors Core requirements (Interdisciplinary Studies and Social Science) or writing for Comparative Literature.
Scars on Romanian Culture: Dracula and Ceausescu
5 credits
Honors 394 or Comparative Literature 396
Instructor: Ileana Marin
The course "Scars on Romanian Culture: Dracula and Ceausescu" will present one of the most oppressive authoritarian regimes – Romanian communism –crossing disciplinary boundaries, engaging history, politics, religion, ethics, literature, and arts.
We will read texts (in electronic format) ranging across every major literary genre. We will read and analyze excerpts from the second volume of Mircea Eliade's autobiography (1937-1960), which also became subject to censorship, in spite of the fact that some of his literary works were published in communist Romania. Norman Manea's case is one of the most intriguing in Romanian literature. He initially benefited from the relaxation of the communist restrictions of the 1960s and succeeded in publishing several novels and short stories in which he criticized the regime throughout the 1970s. However, in 1986, his novel The Black Envelope was substantially censored. It was this "massacre" of his work that made Manea leave Romania. From his work, we will read the uncensored version of The Black Envelope (1996). We will also investigate the reasons which impelled communist authorities to ban Ana Blandiana's poetry in the late 1980s. We will also discuss works by D.R. Popescu and Mircea Cartarescu. For this first part of the course we will take advantage of our stay in Bucharest and visit the Museum of National History and the Museum of Romanian Literature, where we will examine artifacts and manuscripts relevant to our discussions. We will also examine Romanian artworks in the National Museum of Romanian Art in order to get an idea how communist ideology impacted arts and how artists responded to censorship.
The second part of our course will be dedicated to the myth of Dracula. We will compare Bram Stoker's novel, which in 1897 put Transylvania on the cultural map of the world, to a series of chronicles, and German and Slavic stories from the fifteenth century, in which Vlad, the ruler of Wallachia, was named "the Impaler". While there is historic truth in the fact that Vlad used to punish his adversaries as well as criminals by impaling them, there is no evidence of any "blood drinking" that could have inspired the vampire story. While we will reconstruct Vlad's portrait in accordance with historical data (we will also read excerpts from Dracula. A Biography of Vlad the Impaler by Radu Florescu and Raymond T. McNally) we will also look at a series of romantic paintings in which he is depicted. Alexandru Andries' Dracula Blues approaches the myth with irony in order to target communist authorities indirectly. Field trips to the Bran Castle, one of Vlad's residences, and to Vlad's native city, Sighisoara, will add to our artistic and literary experience the historical context.
In Brasov and Sibiu we will also learn about minorities' contribution to Romanian identity in spite of the fact that communism tried to annihilate ethnic diversity by displacing minority groups. Our set of lectures in Suceava will be dedicated to religion, as another relevant component of Romanian culture that was suppressed drastically under communism. We will analyze different forms of resistance and examples of survival of religious belief.
The goal of this course is to provide a substantial experience of the cultural oppression and moral perversity practiced by communism. By immersing ourselves into Romanian culture we will increase our awareness about less explored cultural territories and thus transform the exploration of Romanian culture into an exploration of ourselves. Throughout our journey we will be writing a travel-blog in which we will record our experiences and research. We will upload pictures of our trip on the seminar website and the students will be expected to come up with a summary of their experience.
Housing in Romania
Students will be housed in a downtown hotel in Bucharest and in dorms in Brasov, Sibiu, and Suceava.

Selection to the program is competitive and acceptance into the program will be decided based on application materials, interviews, and student's demonstrated motivation to challenge themselves intellectually across academic disciplines and cultures and to work both individually and in groups. The program director is seeking students who are interested in exploring a completely new cultural territory about which they might have learned from novels and films: Romania of Dracula and Ceausescu. The perfect candidates will be adaptable and sociable, ready to take the challenge of immersing into a culture that may surprise them with a combination of Western and Eastern values.
