I was 16 years old and realized I couldn't remember my last period. I heard that the drug store tests were rarely accurate and was afraid to waste the money. Looking in the yellow pages (this is 1987), I saw a Planned Parenthood ad for a free pregnancy test and called. The testing center was far away and I didn't have a car. But, they had a volunteer that would give me a ride. I made arrangements to be picked up at a convenience store near my boyfriend's house.
When they told me I was pregnant at 10 weeks, I didn't know how to react. I just said I needed to go outside and have a cigarette. I paced back and forth for several minutes. My boyfriend just watched me.
The Illinois Planned Parenthood Center was under a federal mandate and couldn't discuss abortion options with me. They gave me a counselor's phone number, several brochures and offered a room full of baby items to choose from. I went home in a daze.
I did not want to carry a baby to term, let alone raise one. I was a mess-up kid. My boyfriend slowly pulled away from me. He didn't share any thoughts, and was relieved when I mentioned abortion.
Not that I need to give any explanation, but I was a 16 year old kid. I had struggled thru my parents nasty divorce, an alcoholic father, 2 rapes, and a suicide attempt. I felt trapped. I couldn't tell my friends, not that I had many. But, I didn't even confide in my closest friend. I just couldn't talk about it. I was scared it would become known all over school. I knew if word got out that I was getting an abortion, that I would be caste out. I already went thru that at my last school with slut-shaming. And I wasn't going to let it happen again. The only person I would talk to was the counselor that Planned Parenthood referred me to. I would call and just cry on the phone. I can't do this. I can't even manage my own life. How can this happen to me? She would listen, offer hope and ask me questions. These calls got me thru the shock.
When I was ready to approach my mom, she didn't want to talk about it either. When I told her I needed an abortion. Her reaction was pretty much. "OK, you can use your savings account to pay for it." She didn't offer any comfort. My older sister told me where her friend went for the procedure, and I booked an appointment.
It was obvious I disappointed my mom. A voice in my head told me I did a horrible thing. If it wasn't horrible, I would be able to talk about it openly. Not long afterwards, my boyfriend left me for someone else (who he was cheating on me with).
Today, I'm 41 years old. I'm still at peace with the choice I made. I have no regrets and I am finally no longer ashamed. I made a decision for me and my body and it was the right thing to do at the time.
However, I would never wish for anyone to feel so alone and scared as I did. That is why I volunteer at my local Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest. Planned Parenthood offered me a free, safe pregnancy test. They actually had a volunteer come and pick me up. They gave me consulting help, when I was so confused. They gave me someone on the other end of the phone line. I am so very grateful for their support thru such a difficult time in my life.
For those in the Pacific NW, I also want to mention that The CAIR Project can offer financial help for those in Idaho, Alaska, Washington and Oregon. If you're in another state, contact the National Network of Abortion Funds.
I'm also no longer ashamed to attach my photo and name to this story. We need to break abortion stigma. Abortion is part of basic health care and it should be safe, accessible and affordable for all!

Who is ultimately in charge of my son's overall health care treatment?
April 7, 2010
Multiple doctors and specialists for a toddler--but no one seems to be overseeing his treatment as a whole. Who is supposed to be my main source of information when he's having immediate, severe health issues?
My toddler has a primary care physician, and that is who we see for regular illnesses, concerns, etc. The usual. Because of my son's severe GERD, the pediatrician referred us to a gastroenterologist.
Through the GI doc we discovered (via an upper endoscopy) that my son has
. Well, that sucks, but at least we know WHY he's in so much pain when he eats. Great.
Meds are dispersed while we visit an allergist. Allergist says no apparent allergies show with the prick testing, so we need to stick with the GI doc.
We've been treating his GI issues for about 18 months now, knowing he must have SOME allergy, but not knowing what it is.
This weekend, his face blew up, eyes swelled shut, welts all over his body. Go to the ER, get a shot of Epi and some benedryl, it's an allergy, but we don't know why. Next day, I forced the pediatrician to do CAP-RAST testing and CBC. They said that it was unnecessary, but I insisted that we find out his IgE levels. Tests came back today and he's got a severe reaction to something (IgE through the roof) but again he tested negative to all the allergens.
So I know I have to take this further, because I can't have my toddlers throat closing up and just assuming there's nothing I can do. But who is the person to make the goal/treatment plan? Do I make a list of what I want and take it to the pedi? After all, that's not the doc treating the chronic issues. Do I talk to the GI doc? The allergist said he was fine. Who, in this mess of doctors, is supposed to take the reigns and decide the course of treatment? I feel like I'm really going to just explode on one of these doctors because I'm pushed off to another doc every time I ask a question.
For the record, I really do like these doctors and think they've treated us very well. I don't always trust or use western medicine, and the fact that I'm spending so much time with doctors is a sign that something is *really* wrong with my son.
So how do I handle this so the treatment is coordinated on all levels? Who oversees everything and decides the next step? How do I communicate to the doctors that one person needs to be my son's "go to" doc and care for the whole person?

It's supposed to be the primary care doctor. Primary care doctors are your 'medical home' and they are the ones who coordinate care when you've got several specialists on board. After all, each specialist only knows part of what's going on.
IANYD, but I see you've already gotten a lot done. Why do you need to 'make a list of what you want'? Are you planning to request a bunch of additional tests? Just remember, the internet is a wonderful thing, but it doesn't replace medical training, and your doctors should help you decide what testing is necessary and what is just a waste of your money. If a test is not going to change anything about treatment, then there is probably no point in doing it. Not sure what you're planning, but that just goes for general medical issues.
Sometimes people do have allergies and it takes time to figure out what the allergy is to. If there is further allergy testing to be done (I'm not sure on this because I'm not an allergy/immunologist) then you could get that, otherwise, I'd just avoid everything he ate that day and try each thing back one by one with your Epi Pen at your side until you figure it out. Or whatever your allergy doc advises.
At least allergic reactions are treatable and can be preventable.

Your kiddo's primary care physician is the person who should be helping you coordinate who you talk to, when it's not clear which specialist makes sense.
That said, since your son's face swelled up and he had welts all over, I think the allergist might be more willing to reconsider the case at this point. Unfortunately for some people it is difficult or impossible to determine what is causing an allergy, but that doesn't mean the allergist can just ignore that there clearly is a dangerous allergy present. He or she should be able to help you deal with it, whether or not they pursue finding out the exact cause. Maybe that means getting you a prescription for an Epi-pen, working out a strategy to eliminate potential allergens in your home, or referring you to a group for parents whose kids have scary allergies.
That said, the responsibility for coordinating treatment and overseeing everything often falls to the patient (or the patient's parent, in this case). No matter how dedicated your PCP, they will never have the details of your son's history and condition at the forefront of their mind the way you will, because they just can't. So take notes when you go for visits. Bring written questions. Ask what your next step should be, what you should be doing at home, and who you should talk to next. Use
websites to learn as much as you can about your son's condition. Be an advocate for him.
Sorry you have to deal with this, it sounds really frustrating. Hang in there.

Nthing the PCP - they should ultimately help coordinate the care and have enough details from the specialists to track your son's progress, even if the PCP isn't specifically treating each problem. And if the allergist doesn't keep looking for the cause of your son's allergic reaction, the PCP can refer you elsewhere - sometimes it's necessary. The PCP probably isn't the best person to diagnose the allergy, but they should be supporting the process by making sure your son gets to the right person.

be the PCP, but
is right - it will be you. There is a tremendous lack of coordination in patient care, and the PCP won't have the time or all of the information to make sure your son is receiving optimal care. Our PCP is generally a nice and caring person, but in a dire medical crisis, she was useless. If you have no medical training, you can't possibly know whether you are managing your son's care adequately.
You might want to consider a Patient Advocate, if there is one in your area who specializes in allergies or non-specific medical diagnoses. This is someone whose job it is to coordinate care, help you make sense of the information you receive and help you deal with insurance issues (this could be vital). Some are volunteers. Some are paid professionals.

As someone who also experiences EE, the only contribution I have to make is that there isn't necessarily an allergen your kid is being exposed to. EE can be caused by a variety of things, and the "allergen" (I don't think that's scientifically proven yet) isn't necessarily something you'll ever be able to detect or avoid. It's pretty rare for kids that young to have EE; though. You may want to consider an immunologist or related doc, to check for autoimmune disorders.
The PCP is normally supposed to take charge of this as other commenters have mentioned. However, in the difficult healthcare environment seen today in Western medicine, it's rare to find a doctor who can really follow these kinds of issues up and insure a high standard of care. I think you have a couple of choices; one as already mentioned is to put this on your own shoulders: You'd be doing that anyway even if you had someone to manage the "medical" side of it for you. Another is to consider a concierge doctor, which i'll leave it to you to do some research on.

I had a child with very severe health issues - a brain tumor. She was not diagnosed by her Pediatrician, but it was her Pediatrician who noticed a very, very subtle problem that lead to the diagnosis of the brain tumor. Her Pediatrician was from a very very good practice, and stayed in tune with the oncologists, the ER docs, the palliative care, docs and the hospice docs from not just one but TWO hospitals (here in Philadelphia and in Memphis), as needed. That is to say, we requested our specialists to send reports to the Pediatrician, we separately worked to keep her up to date, and we involved her in the care plan for what to do in case my daughter needed to be seen by a local, outpatient, non-oncology doctor. The Pediatrician was not always the one directing this care, but she was an important and valued part of the team who took the time, courtesy and professionalism to fill a very important role.
You need to stay on top of a lot of things - you know your child better than docs will. My husband could 'smell' a neutropenic fever an hour before it started, after a couple of months of chemo. We kept a notebook of every medicine (OTC and Rx) we gave our daughter, and when. Every time she ate, what and how much. Every time she wet or soiled her diaper (when you live inpatient in the hospital with a baby, you get used to weighing diapers, and recording timing becomes second nature). Every time she threw up, or if anything out of normal happened. I cannot emphasize enough how often how many different practitioners told us this was helpful, appropriate and important toward maximizing their ability to properly care for my daughter, and minimize her discomfort. Some tips: get a binder with dividers and ask the docs what kinds of items you need to monitor. In that binder, keep a record of exactly what prescriptions are being used, and what dosages. Having the discharge statement from any hospitalizations is helpful. Ask docs to prepare detailed instructions, and bring those with you when you see other specialists. It really, really, really, really cuts down on the downtime, waiting time, double-checking and doubt that you and your child will have to undergo. Get care plans for "if X happens then do Y" and so forth. Docs won't always volunteer them, but we asked for them and usually received them. I know this sounds time consuming, but the organization saves effort, frustration and stress (for you and the child) in the long run. And one of the nice things about it is that docs sometimes doubt parents reports of problems, but if you've got 3 months of consistent note taking to prove it, then...THEN they listen.
In my experience, medical practitioners are happy to have a parent who is kind and understanding of their limitations, but also ALL OVER their child's care. Know stuff. Ask questions. Courteously double check/doubt things when appropriate. Listen, ask questions, listen to the answers. If your Pediatrician can't be a valuable, cohesive, central part of this team, get recommendations from the specialists for one more equipped to respond to and monitor your child's health problems. Also, try to get involved with other parents in your area, or nationwide, to determine what steps they've used to best monitor and guide care.
Being the parent of a chronically ill child requires active leading. The pediatrician is central, but you've got to manage all systems. You've got to tell them to talk to one another. You've got to be
courteously aggressive
at every moment you interact with a medical provider. "Allright Allergy Doc, before we are discharged I want to confirm the following: Have you/will you send a report to the GI doc and the Pediatrician? What are the discharge instructions? Does anything change from an Rx standpoint? What side effects do I expect? (Most important) What kinds of things should I look out for that signal an urgent or emergent situation might be happening, and what steps do I take? Are there any limits to activity levels? Etc. Etc." I am telling you, respectfully and kindly refuse to sign discharge papers until you get every question answered. And then once you are home and settled in, get everything in your binder.

I happen to have two close friends with separate, odd, and complex allergies, and since they both had a hard time getting diagnosed as adults, I mention these things in case you haven't run across them or in case they pique something in your mind.
One of them has multiple, actual FOOD allergies. She was only able to get properly diagnosed with a blood test AND a poo test. She's allergic to soy, casein, and gluten to start.
My OTHER friend has Oral Allergy Syndrome, which is basically that her pollen allergies are so incredibly bad that she has reactions to foods that "impersonate" certain kinds of tree and grass pollens. I know you said he was tested for allergies, but I mention this because she has pretty severe GI issues related to never-ending post nasal drip. Not up to EE, but with certain foods (melon, avocado) she experiences closing of the throat and tingling.
I hope you can get his allergens diagnosed soon. Good luck.

Also: Sometime, at some point, you may have a meltdown at a doctor or nurse. They may be telling you something, and you are just terrified. Or you don't beleive them. Or your child is sick and hurting and not feeling good and they can't make that stop soon enough. It will be okay, you will get through that. You'll have a meltdown, and then wish you hadn't, and then apologize. I am telling you right now, that you are ALLOWED. You don't have to be able to handle it every moment of every day. People will understand, and if you ask people to, sometimes they will pick up the slack. But when I say "courteously aggressive" above, and "respectfully" and stuff, that is important. Get a good group of docs on your team, and then get a good relationship with them. That is how sometimes, if you are lucky, as I was, they give you their personal cell phone numbers and tell you it's okay to call at 2am on a Sunday - or any other time - if you really need to.

I think Medieval Maven may really be onto something with her suggestion of
Oral Allergy syndrome.
It's initiated by pollen, which is hitting peaks right now in many places in the northern hemisphere, and it can give rise to the symptoms and signs you've mentioned in your son:
Swelling of the lips, tongue, and uvula and a sensation of tightness in the throat may be observed. Seldom it can result in anaphylaxis.[5] If a sufferer swallows the food, and the allergen is not destroyed by the stomach acids there is a good chance that there will be a reaction from histamine release later in the gastrointestinal tract. Vomiting, diarrhea, severe indigestion, or cramps may occur.[6] Rarely, OAS may be severe and present as wheezing, vomiting, hives and low blood pressure.[7]
Apparently it's often not found with the usual extract-based prick testing:
Prick to prick testing with fresh foods is more reliable for some extremely labile allergens such as those found in apple than testing with commercial extracts which will commonly give a false negative. If the history is suggestive and the skin prick test negative, fresh foods should be used.
To confirm OAS, the suspected food is consumed in a normal way. The period of observation after ingestion and symptoms are recorded. If other co factors like combined foods are required, this is also replicated in the test. For example, if the individual always develops symptoms after eating followed by exercise, then this is replicated in the laboratory.
It sounds to me as if your allergist is the weak link in your chain. I would want someone experienced in dealing with OAS.

Your primary care doctor is the person who is supposed to be holding all the strings, but in addition to what others have said, a thing that will help is that if you get copies of test results etc and carry them with you to appointments. When I was pregnant and dealing with a hematologist as well as my ob, it was very frustrating to have an appointment and find that a lab test result that was supposed to be sent to the specialist hadn't gotten there. I learned to make sure I had copies with me. Keeping your own notes will also help--sometimes you'll find yourself with a doctor who is saying, "well, the blah-blah-blah test was negative," and it will be really helpful if you are on top of things enough to say, "Actually, that test showed a mild positive," or, "No, we had decided not to have that test at that time."

jamjam, it doesn't sound like OAS to me.
The allergic reaction Lullen described is anaphylaxis and can occur with any allergen. She didn't describe any GI effects such as vomiting or diarrhea, just pointed out that her son also has severe reflux and EE, which often is found concurrently with other regular allergic issues like asthma, eczema, and allergic reactions. A more straightfoward explanation would be that in addition to EE, her son has a regular allergy or multiple allergies.

In large part, the person is you. Request copies of all the medical records. Get a binder and organize them. Add pages where you type out symptoms, adverse events, etc. and the date and time that they happen. Take this binder with you to every appointment. Be the annoying parent who asks a lot of questions.
Without hijacking the thread, just let me say that if my stepmom hadn't done this for my brother, I hate to think how much worse off he would have been.
I don't mean to suggest that the doctors aren't compentent, I'm sure they are. But aren't all together in the same room discussing this case. You're the common link here.

John Yoo, author of the Bush Administration's laughably wrong legal justification for torture, accuses President Obama of flouting the law by overruling DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel's determination that the continuing military action in Libya is illegal. Because, as John Yoo knows better than anyone, real presidents stack their OLC with substanceless hacks who will say whatever they want to do is lawful, rather than hiring lawyers with integrity and then overruling them.

I am OUTRAGED. Between the execution of Troy Davis last night (with this cherry on top today) and the suicide of 14 year old Jamey Rodemeyer, it's all I can do not to cry my eyes out. I've been feeling helpless and can't fathom how innocent people can be killed like this and what that says about our country. I can't help asking myself, Why Didn't Anybody Stop This?
I was going to write a cute and cheeky blog post about the Homo Homecoming fundraiser I'm putting on for John Avalos next Saturday. But instead I'm about to get serious about why I'm supporting him. After years of Bush and Arnold and Gavin (and all of them really), I want someone in power who's watching out for us. I want someone in City Hall who's a real person, who's part of the community, and who's willing to put their ego aside to fight. I want someone who isn't going to sell our city to the highest bidder, because I want my friends and the freaks and the families to stay. I want somebody who will help stop some of this madness. I don't normally put any faith in elections, but I'm not sure I've ever seen a viable candidate who gets it and who can hold it down with very few compromises. And that's why I'm putting my time, energy, and money behind John Avalos.
So please, please, please do 2 things for me right this minute:
2. Invite friends + colleagues by email, Facebook, Twitter, or talking to them!
And for the haters: Do I think that having John Avalos as mayor will solve all the city's problems? Hell no. But I think he'll be a thoughtful advocate who will help shape the right conversations and shake up the way things happen in this city. The rest will be up to us.
If you want to get more involved in the Avalos campaign, talk to me or take a look at the campaign website.
UPDATE: Just wanted to add a link to the sweet write-up we got in the SFBG (for posterity).

PISCATAWAY, NJ – The Rutgers women's soccer team will play 19 regular-season matches during the 2004 campaign, including a Sept. 10 home contest against 2001 NCAA champion Santa Clara, head coach Glenn Crooks has announced.
The Scarlet Knights will take on the nine-time national semifinalist Broncos on the first day of the Rutgers Classic. In all, Rutgers will host 10 matches at Yurcak Field, and will play a total of nine teams from the 2003 NCAA Championship field, including the national runner-up (Connecticut), two Elite Eight teams (Santa Clara, Florida) and two Sweet Sixteen programs (West Virginia, Villanova).
Rutgers will begin the season with a pair of home dates, taking on Drexel Friday, Aug. 27, at 7:00 p.m. and Fairleigh Dickinson Sunday, Aug. 29, at 7:00 p.m. The Scarlet Knights will then travel to the West Coast, playing at Loyola Marymount Friday, Sept. 3, and USC Sunday, Sept. 5.
The Scarlet Knights will return to Piscataway to host the Rutgers Classic Sept. 10-12. Rhode Island will play Michigan State at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, followed by the Rutgers-Santa Clara match at 8:00 p.m. On Sunday, the 2003 NCAA quarterfinalist Broncos will face the Rams at 12:00 p.m., followed by Rutgers and Michigan State at 2:30 p.m.
Following a Sept. 17 match at 2003 NCAA quarterfinalist Florida, RU will return home to begin BIG EAST Conference play against Seton Hall on Wednesday, Sept. 22, at 7:00 p.m. Following five years of divisional play, the BIG EAST will abandon the divisions for the 2004 season, playing as a 12-team league. Each school will play 10 of the other 11 members during the regular season, and the top eight teams will qualify for the 2004 BIG EAST Championship.
RU will play at Connecticut, the national runner-up a year ago, on Sept. 25. The Scarlet Knights will host Monmouth on Tuesday, Sept. 28, at 7:00 p.m. before traveling to Villanova, a team that advanced to the third round of the 2003 NCAA Championship, Oct. 1. Rutgers will host Boston College Sunday, Oct. 3, at 11:00 a.m., then finish its non-conference slate with a trip to Princeton, NJ, to take on the in-state rival Tigers on Oct. 5.
Rutgers will get back to league action with a match at Georgetown Oct. 8 and a home date against Syracuse Sunday, Oct. 10, at 1:00 p.m. Following an Oct. 13 contest at St. John's, the Scarlet Knights will finish their home schedule with a pair of BIG EAST foes, taking on West Virginia, another 2003 third-round NCAA team, Friday, Oct. 15, at 7:00 p.m. and Pittsburgh Sunday, Oct. 17, at 1:00 p.m. Rutgers will wrap up the regular season Oct. 22 at Notre Dame.
The Rutgers women's soccer team (10-7-5, 3-2-1 BIG EAST) advanced to the second round of the 2003 NCAA Tournament and the quarterfinals of the BIG EAST Tournament.

The birthday song — Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, etc. — is still under copyright protection. If you want to sing the song on TV, or in a restaurant, or whatever, you have to pay a licensing fee to Warner/Chappell, the music company that owns the rights. The company makes about $2 million a year off the song, according to one estimate.
A lawsuit filed in federal court last week seeks to change that. The complaint (online here) argues that the copyright to the song, if it ever existed at all, "expired no later than 1921." Warner/Chappell hasn't responded to the suit yet; I left them a message this morning asking for comment, but I haven't heard back.
The story of the song is long and weirdly complex. The short version is: A pair of sisters published a song called "Good Morning to You" in 1893. Over the next few decades, the song morphed into "Happy Birthday to You." In the 1920s and '30s, a couple versions of the birthday song were published in copyrighted songbooks.
But Happy Birthday to You was in wide circulation for years before it was published and copyrighted, and it's not clear who wrote that version of the song, according to Mark Rifkin, one of the lawyers who filed the suit. (The plaintiff is a filmmaker who's making a documentary about the song.)
The complaint goes through the history of the song in excruciating detail. One key detail: The complaint says the lyrics were published by the Board of Sunday Schools of the Methodist Episcopal Church in a 1911 book, long before copyrighted versions of the song appeared. Here's the key page:
For more: a recent (pre-lawsuit) episode of On the Media had a good overview of the history of the song; this Reuters story has more on the details of the lawsuit. And see our recent story, When Patents Attack … Part Two!


text:
"While the sample makes this look like a label, I edited so there is a "to: " line and a from line (e.g. From: Matthew and Andrew). I love these as birthday present gift tags."
"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"
"We are using these stickers to put on blue take out boxes for the candy buffet at my daughter's Baby Shower. Our stickers read "sweet treats". They match the invitations we ordered from you. I'm very happy with the quality of all of the items we ordered. Thank you!"
"I wanted stickers to seal Valentine's treat bags for class - This design is perfect for boys, as most are quite girly (not that there's anything wrong with that!)."
"I love these and I love that you can create cute cupcake decorations by placing these on top. What a great way to decorate birthday cupcakes at a reasonable price!"

With the advent of Father's Day, Air Facts blogger John Zimmerman shares his memories of flying with his Dad: "I've been flying with my dad for literally my entire life, growing up in the back of different airplanes while he flew me and my three brothers on family trips. Occasionally, I got to move up front to the right seat. A look through the family photo albums finds the obligatory picture of me in the cockpit with my dad, yoke in hand, smiling from ear to ear. It's pretty clear I thought my dad was a superhero back then, and 20 years as a pilot myself haven't changed that opinion much." Read the full post here.

Europe is increasingly polarised. The decisive issues in the latest European elections were austerity and racism, with parties implementing austerity continuing to lose votes.
The campaign to cancel government debt is gathering some momentum in European Union countries.
In Greece, Alexis Tsipras, leader of SYRIZA consistently calls for a cancellation of at least some part of the Greek debt.
Unions in a number of European countries have called a mass one-day strike for November 14. It is the first time since the crisis began that co-ordinated industrial action has been organised in a number of different countries. It represents an important step forward in the growing collaboration between the workers' organisations in a number of countries and poses the question of a European-wide action programme to deal with the crisis.
By Jane West
After the elections in Western Europe in the first half of this year it is a good moment to take stock of the overall state of the class struggle in the region.
By Nicky Dempsey
The latest European Union summit highlighted the divisions among the national political leaders. But they are unified on one point – the working class and the oppressed of Europe will pay for the crisis.
By Tom O'Donnell
The Europe Against Austerity conference in London on 1st October will provide an important opportunity to discuss the current austerity offensive and raise the issues of macro-economic policy required for an alternative way forward to be advanced.
July's terrorist atrocity directed against the Norwegian Labour Party has been a lethal reminder of the role violence plays in Europe's far-right. The twin attacks in Oslo and at the Utoya island youth camp resulted in 77 deaths, primarily of young people.
By Bryan ConnorDuring the international financial crisis US imperialism has succeeded in striking further blows against its European and Japanese capitalist competitors. Data on the US economy to be published later this week will probably show US GDP has regained its pre-crisis level. That means an average zero percent US growth for three years – a terrible performance. But Japanese and European production are even worse, remaining below their previous levels four years into the crisis. The US, however, has been pursuing policies that worsen the economic position of its European and Japanese competitors – pushing Japan to engage in confrontational policies with its largest trading partner, China, and in Europe both cheering on every step of belt tightening in countries such as Greece and Ireland and trying to break up the Euro.

1) Get yourself ready to be thrown into a different kind of crowd- where everyone has something to do, and life is more dependent on schedules than on spontaneity.
2)This advice goes to international students: prepare yourself to write all the time. Pages and pages of writing that by the time you graduate, you will be able to put your work into a 300 page long book. Most foreign countries, of course, don't focus high school education on writing in English.
3)One last, crucial advice is to build an enormous winter closet. If you have never experienced having the inside of your nose freeze, or having your face hurt from the extreme cold, it is better to be cautious and purchase layers of winter clothes. If you are walking to class and no one you know recognizes you from all the layers, you are doing it right.

A co-founder of New York magazine, Milton Glaser also designed its iconic visual identity. In 1954, with several university classmates, Glaser co-founded Push Pin Studios, before striking out on his own. Not shackled to commercial conventions, his work is bold, pared-down, and yet highly expressive. Each piece is as distinct as each client and spans multiple medias and styles. Now 84, Glaser's continuing influence on contemporary illustration and design is infinitely invaluable.

TIME AND CLIMATIC forces have long been at work here sculpturing the earth to form today's scenery and providing soil, slope, and exposure for plantlife. Topography within the monument, typical of southwestern Arizona, is characterized by short, northerly trending mountain ranges separated by wide, nearly level valleys, or basins. Mountain slopes are rugged and precipitous, with surface rock bare or covered with only a veneer of talus. There are few seeps and springs and no permanent streams in the entire monument. Nevertheless, during hundreds of centuries, intermittent streams caused by periodic rains, particularly the sometimes torrential cloudbursts of summer, have carved the mountains, molded alluvial fans, and built the gently sloping outwash plains, or bajadas, spreading out along the mountain bases.
The Ajo and Growler ranges are part of the extensive Basin and Range physiographic province of western and southwestern United States and northern Mexico. These ranges were caused by immense block-faulting that created sharp, staggered ridges with deep valleys between. The diagrammatic drawing below shows this original formation. Valleys between ranges are not the result of wearing away by stream-cutting but, on the contrary, they are troughs partly filled with debris eroded from the mountains and deposited by sheet erosion and ephemeral streams.
Now knee deep in the outwash of their own debris, desert mountain ranges have built sloping alluvial fans of rocks and gravel around canyon mouths. These fans join to form continuous, slightly sloping aprons, or bajadas, of finer materials that have been deposited farther out. Toward the centers of the valleys are wide, nearly level plains of clay and silt which may be hundreds of feet deep in places.
Sudden but brief storms drop a considerable volume of water on the mountains within the monument. Most of this runoff passes west and northward by means of a system of arroyos and sandy washes into the usually dry bed of the Gila River. About one-fifth of the monument area drains south into the Sonoyta River of Mexico, thence toward the Gulf of California. These well-defined drainage systems indicate that a long time has elapsed since the occurrence of earth movements that gave rise to the present surface features.
Mountains in the monument are of two typesthe mesas, with broad, nearly flat summits capped with lava; and the sierra type, with knife-edge ridges and pointed summits. Slopes of the latter are precipitous, and canyons are more open than those of the mesas. Maturely eroded ranges are generally bordered with outwash aprons, while the mesalike, lava-capped mountains are not.
Geologists tell us that at some time during the Paleozoic era (180 to 510 million years ago) this region settled beneath the sea and remained there until the beginning of Permian time. During the following 120 million years of the Mesozoic era, this area was probably land. About that time molten lavas invaded the deep buried bedrocks, cooling slowly to form granite. (For ages of the geologic formations and rock units, see table below.)
Ages of formations and rock units, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument1
Somewhat later, a new invasion of molten materials pushed closer to the surface, forming "Tertiary granites." Cooling magmas separated into solutions that produced the mineral deposits at Ajo and elsewhere. Grayish-white rhyolite dikes and intrusions associated with this early Tertiary activity are noticeable in the Growler Pass area and include outcroppings of black, gray, and green obsidian (volcanic glass).
During the middle and late Tertiary period, violent volcanic activity took place in the vicinity. Surface eruptions resulted in the formation of two great series of volcanic rocks (andesitic tuffs and breccias, and lava flows), which are the dominant rocks composing the major mountain ranges of the monument today. Earth movements ending about the close of the Tertiary period (perhaps extending into the Pleistocene) brought about the great displacement of earth blocks that roughly outline the present mountain ranges, as well as the depressed areas between them.
Geological history, then, recounts that the Sonoyta Hills, the Quitobaquito Hills, and outcroppings along the southwestern foot of the Dripping Springs Range and also near Growler Pass are remnants of ancient schists, gneisses, and granites, more recently uncovered by erosion. The granites resulted from slow cooling of intrusive Precambrian or Mesozoic magmas. The schists and gneisses are ancient rocks probably of varied types which have been changed, or metamorphosed, to their present forms.
The Puerto Blanco, Growler, and Ajo Mountains are composed of thick layers of volcanic materials that were poured out during the series of great Tertiary lava flows and were later lifted by block faulting. Erosion continuing since that time has worn down these mountains, cutting canyons in their slopes and depositing the debris in the depressions between ranges, thus forming the wide, nearly level Ajo, Sonoyta, La Abra, and Growler valley plains.
A few small, widely scattered centers of mineralization developed in connection with the early molten intrusives. Silver, lead, and some gold were found along outcroppings of these very old rocks in the southern and southwestern base of the Puerto Blanco Mountains. Other mineralized pockets, principally containing copper, occur in outcroppings of the old rocks near Growler Pass in the northwestern part of the monument and at Copper Hill in the northeastern part.
The only well-bedded sedimentary rocks recorded within the monument are layers of shale (probably Paleozoic) sandstone, limestone, and a bouldery limestone conglomerate which have been generally metamorphosed by heat from the volcanics into phyllite, quartzite, and marble, respectively. In the process of alteration, these rocks were rendered more resistant to weathering, and hence their outcrops form prominent ledges.
These very old sedimentary deposits occur along the extreme northern border of the monument about 1 mile north of Growler Pass and in low hills at intervals for 3 miles farther north. No fossils have been found in rocks within the monument, those once contained in them having been destroyed during the process of alteration. Some fossils do occur in the limestone boulders of the Locomotive fanglomerate outcropping in the Growler Mountains north of the monument.
Rocks of the earlier volcanic action constitute the greater part of the mountain masses. They form cliffs and precipitous slopes even where they have been covered by flows of more recent lavas. Within the monument, these volcanic rocks occupy some 90 square miles of the surface. They make up the greater part of the Ajo and Dripping Springs ranges, and also the northwestern part of the southern Growler Mountains.
These older volcanics include a wide range of eruptive materials, the most prominent of which are the andesitic tuffs and breccias and the brown and purplish-brown flow-lavas which are increasingly prominent toward the top of the series.
Younger flows of basaltic andesite and basalt cover many of the older volcanic rocks. The most extensive and youngest lava deposit within the monument is the capping that covers the greater part of the southern range of the Growler Mountains, almost 30 square miles in area. Generally, it rests on the eroded surface of earlier volcanics, and in places it overlaps other old formations. Erosion has removed this cover from earlier tuffs and lavas in a rugged, pinnacled area of 2 or 3 square miles immediately south of Bates Well.
Even the youngest volcanics have been faulted and in some places deeply eroded. They are nearly everywhere tilted somewhat, and at many places they are overlapped or buried by alluvium to depths of several hundred feet. Much of the lava forming both the older and younger flows probably rose to the surface through fissures, for no volcanic plugs or other evidences of vents of former volcanoes have been found within the monument.
Between the widely separated mountain ranges lie broad alluvial plains, or valleys. These deposits, made up of enormous quantities of material eroded from the mountains, vary in character with the types of rocks from which they were derived. In general, the texture of the alluvium changes with the distance that water has carried it from the mountains. Large boulders are most numerous near the mouths of canyons; smaller boulders and pebbles dominate farther out; and sand, silt, and clay are found mainly in the lower and flatter central areas of the plains. The coarsest material maintains the steepest slopes, whereas the finer silts and clays have built up surfaces that are nearly level. Much of the alluvium is thought to have accumulated during Pleistocene times, but some of the deeper basin fills may date back even to the Pliocene. The process of erosion which carries debris from the mountains out into the valleys is, of course, continuing and will keep on as long as there are mountains and running water to erode them.

Just the name "foot fungus" sounds unpleasant, and indeed it is.
This sometimes chronic condition appears when normally occurring bacteria, especially yeast, mold or fungi, grow out of control and/or when the immune system is not functioning properly.
I talked with dermatologist Richard K. Scher, MD, a nail specialist at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, about foot fungus and why some people seem to have so much trouble with it.
The most common form of foot fungus is athlete's foot, or Tinea pedis, named after a species of mold that is most often involved. Interestingly, Dr. Scher reports that some families are particularly susceptible to foot fungus. In fact, even though children are often in the damp, moist conditions that tinea pedis favors, such as swimming pools, the only kids who are apt to get athlete's foot before their teen years are those with a family predisposition to it. In addition to genetic susceptibility, the groups that are vulnerable include the elderly, individuals with diabetes or other circulatory problems and people who have immunosuppressive disorders.
Dr. Scher explains that athlete's foot generally starts in the fourth toe web and moves toward the bigger toes. Its symptoms are hard to miss -- itchy red splotches, scaling and blisters, sometimes leading to fissures or cracks. Athlete's foot can cause burning or stinging and can be quite painful. Although it typically appears between the toes, it also can occur on the soles of the feet and the heels. Complications are rare, although it is possible to get a secondary bacterial infection. If your foot becomes swollen and warm to the touch, call your doctor right away, especially if there are red streaks present.
The first line of treatment, says Dr. Scher, is to use an over-the-counter antifungal cream or powder. Follow the label instructions, he says, and treat with this for a few weeks to a month. Continue using for several weeks after the fungus has cleared to ensure that it doesn't return. If the fungus doesn't resolve itself in that amount of time, you should see a dermatologist, who will prescribe a stronger antifungal medication.
Unfortunately, the recurrence rate of tinea pedis is quite high, says Dr. Scher, and it is contagious. To avoid athlete's foot...
The first line of defense for preventing foot fungus should be good foot hygiene. For those with limited dexterity, arthritis or diabetis, this can present a problem. With this in mind, we've found the Soapy Soles Foot Washer and the Soapy Soles Elite 3 in 1 Foot Washer to provide outstanding foot care with minimal effort. Both Soapy Soles Foot Washers require no bending or stretching in the shower, simply apply a dab of soap to the foot pad and massage your feet. In addition to the Soapy Soles, ActiveForever also carries a wide selection of other foot care aids for a variety of conditions such as diabetes, arthritis and hip injury. Learn more.

T. Steinlein, a noveau artist, created this poster in 1896 for a cabaret known as Le Chat Noir, or The Black Cat.
Steinlein was known for his lithographs and illustrations, and often depicted cats in his art, as he had a fondness for them. This advertisement is perhaps his most famous work, and I consider it one of my favorite design pieces of all time. It is a classic example of Noveau works, and I own a copy of the poster, it and its history are deeply fascinating to me.
As for the cabaret, Le Chat Noir was groundbreaking in its own right, as the first example of a modern cabaret, opening in 1881. It closed in 1897, which was a great disappointment to the many artists (including Picasso) who saw Steinlein's work and wanted to check it out. It enjoyed many famous patrons, was the premier locale for the arts scene, and was the birthplace of many Ombres françaises (shadow plays), the inspiration for the phantasmagorias that were soon to become popular across Europe.
Another group that found patronage in Le Chat were the Incoherents. They were a radical, if short lived art movement that were the precursors to the avant-garde and anti art movements. Their work featured things such as "found" art objects, including the currently trending art of found poetry, as well as children's drawings and surreal photographs.

Caitlin Rose
If you're looking for a real standout in the singer/songwriter classification, Caitlin Rose just might be your woman. The press has been raving about her shows at SXSW, paying special attention to her throwback country style with a modern edge. The Nashville, Tenn.-based singer recently released her second record on ATO, a label known for a pretty solid slate of performers like David Gray. I'd recommend checking out this show for a easy breezy Tuesday, but if you're looking for a little more punch in your night, Vietnam is at Soda Bar, Dirty Sirens return to the Griffin and Broken Water perform at the Void.

Word of Mouth: Court Bouillon
Court Bouillon (Court Boo-yee-an), noun: A flavored liquid used for poaching or steaming.
Unlike regular chicken, beef, or even vegetable stock, a court bouillon can be quickly made and then used immediately - it literally means "quick stock"!
Because it's cooked for a half an hour at most, a court bouillon never reaches the same level of flavor or complexity as a full-term stock. This sounds like a negative, but a court bouillon is actually useful for cooking mild-flavored things like fish or vegetables. In these cases, a full stock would tend to overshadow the natural flavors of the food, but a court bouillon gives just right balance of flavor and delicacy.
Traditionally, court bouillons are a simple combination of water, bouquet garni, and an acid - no bones or other animal parts. This acid can be white wine, vinegar, or even lemon. A mirepoix of carrots, celery, and onions or leeks can also be added for extra flavor. Everything is simmered for about a half an hour before the liquid is used for cooking.
In general, a court bouillon is not meant to be eaten itself or reused many times.
Here are a few recipes from around the web!
• Vinegar Court Bouillon from Epicurious
• Wine and Lemon Court Bouillon from the Food Network
• Wine and Vinegar Court Bouillon from RecipeSource

I can't find it right now on epicurious, but I recently tried an awesome recipe for fennel-poached fish that used a similar idea... you simmer a very light stock with herbs, peppercorns, maybe onions/scallions; slice fennel bulbs lengthwise so you have big thick "coins" and simmer them, mostly submerged, in the stock; when those have cooked somewhat, you put the fish on the bed of fennel and half-steam, half-poach it. It ends up really delicate and flavorful.
In New Orleans, they say it KOO-bee-yawn (but soft on the "n"). My mother made this with large whole fish all the time when we were growing up. I'm talking quite large red drum and other "deep sea" catches from the Gulf. Seems she somehow incorporated tomato into hers, but the "bed" beneath the simmering broth was always, always sliced lemon. Deliscioso, if that's a word!

or for Media: Julie Long 585-389-2456
Nazareth College is proud to be the first stop for award-winning author Debra Dean's tour of Rochester as part of this year's twelfth annual "If All of Rochester Read the Same Book" program sponsored by Writers & Books, Rochester's nationally renowned non-profit literary center. The featured book of this tour is The Madonnas of Leningrad (Harper Perennial, 2007), Dean's best-selling debut novel. An Afternoon with Debra Dean will take place on Wednesday, March 28, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Nazareth College Linehan Chapel inside the Golisano Academic Center. It is free and open to the public. She will do a reading, followed by a question and answer session and a book signing. Copies of the book are for sale in the Nazareth College Bookstore. Nazareth College is located at 4245 East Ave., Rochester, N.Y. 14618. An Afternoon with Debra Dean is sponsored by the Nazareth College Marie Callahan Reading Center Memorial Fund and the Graduate Literacy Programs. For more information about Dean and her Nazareth visit, go to www.wab.org or call 585-389-2614.
Born and raised in Seattle, Wash., Dean majored in English and drama at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash. After graduating in 1980, she moved to New York City where she pursued her passion of acting, performing in several long-standing plays. Dean returned to the northwest to study at the University of Oregon and pursue master's in creative writing. The featured book of the tour, The Madonnas of Leningrad, began as a short story but after 10 summers of research and further writing became Dean's best-selling debut novel. Her other noteworthy and award-winning works include Confessions of a Falling Woman (Harper Perennial, 2008), a collection of short stories, (Paterson Fiction Prize and a Florida Book Award) and The Mirrored World, a novel due out in summer 2012.
The Madonnas of Leningrad is a New York Times Editors' Choice, a Borders Original Voice, a #1 Booksense Pick, a Booklist Top Ten Novel, and an American Library Association Notable Book of the Year. It has been translated into 17 languages. The book shifts from two settings, 1941 Leningrad, where the protagonist, Marina, recounts her story of surviving the 900-day seize on Leningrad during World War II, and modern day Seattle, Wash., where her granddaughter is about to be married.
The beautifully written novel commemorates the mind and memory of Marina who is an elderly Russian woman suffering from Alzheimer's. The Madonnas of Leningrad is an elegant tribute to the value and resilience of memory by commemorating the struggles of Marina as a World War II survivor and her present-day battle with Alzheimer's.
Writers & Books initiated "If All of Rochester Read the Same Book" program in 2001. The goal is to encourage people to connect to others in the community through reading and discussion of a shared experience of literature. Each year Writers & Books selects one book for the community to explore together, leading to an extended residency by the author. An estimated 100,000 Rochester area readers have participated in this program since its start.
Founded in 1924, Nazareth College is located on a close-knit, suburban campus in the dynamic, metropolitan region of Rochester, N.Y. The College offers challenging academic programs in the liberal arts and sciences and professional programs in health and human services, education, and management. Nazareth's strong cultures of service and community prepare students to be successful professionals and engaged citizens. The College enrolls approximately 2,000 undergraduate students and 1,000 graduate students.

It's a great place to recognize students and teachers who are achieving at the state, regional and national level. We are also recognizing bright ideas in the classroom.
