On Tuesday, people in the Pioneer Valley got a taste of Fair Trade at Ten Thousand Villages on Main Street in Northampton.
Fair Trade products ensure that the farmers who grow them get paid fair wages.
On Tuesday afternoon, a Fair Trade farmer from Guatemala joined other representatives from Manos Campesinas, a nonprofit Fair Trade organization, at a booth to give away samples of fair trade products, like coffee and chocolate.
It also was a chance for people to learn more about Fair Trade and how people can become more conscious consumers.
"Here in the Pioneer Valley, we're all very progressive people and so it's a chance for people in the valley to live their values through their purchases and that's why it is important, because we are progressive and we can make an impact in our purchases on the farmers' lives in the Southern Hemisphere, Latin America or Africa," said Yuri Friman, chair of the Amherst Fair Trade partnership.

The views in these blogs are those held by the individual blogger and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton Football Club.
About the authorView articles
More so than almost any other figure at the Club, our Season Ticket prices come in for close scrutiny – checked and rechecked by us; poured over, analysed, and commented by the press.
And, like all prices, they only ever seem to head in one direction. There's a commonly held view that football is getting less and less affordable. But is it true?
I knew our FA Cup pricing had been 'keen' this year, I knew we'd talked about the price of the matchday programme recently and I also remembered talking to our caterers about the price of a pint. So I asked one of the team to spend some time looking at all of our prices over recent seasons. Here's what they came back with:
Ten years ago, for David Moyes' first game in charge, a programme cost £2.50. A year later it went to £2.70 and in 2004, up to £3 where it has remained – no price rise for 8 years.
The Club's official monthly magazine, Evertonian, has been £2.95 for a decade and the End of Season Review DVD sells for £15.99 – it was also £15.99 in 2001/02 when David first walked into Goodison Park.
Meanwhile, evertontv used to set subscribers back £4.99 per month but today it's free-to-view for all supporters and, we feel, a better service than ever.
And this year's home shirt when it launched last summer would have set you back £42, £3 less than the 2008/09 version and £8 less than eight seasons ago, when we paid £50 for the shirt with Keijan across our chests.
All these prices compare well with the rest of our household budget - the cost of fuel, Council tax bills and the cover price of the Liverpool Echo have all doubled over David's time as Manager.
After much deliberation, adult Season Tickets will go up for the 2012/13 season but this season, a Main Stand early bird ticket was the same price as it was six years ago. Even better for the adult in the Family Enclosure bringing the kids, your price is £77 less than it was in that same season and it will be the same again next season.
With our new prices, the biggest beneficiaries are young Evertonians. The notion that football is getting harder and harder to afford isn't true for our young fans and their parents.
If you were 10-years-old in 2005/06 and wanted to sit with your granddad in the Main Stand, you'd have paid almost £20 per game, or £349 for the season. Your younger sister, just going into her final year at Junior School next year, has the good fortune of enjoying a whole season for just £95.
Cup tickets have gone down in price too. In 2007/08, FA Cup third round tickets cost £18 for adults and £8 for juniors. This season, they were £16 and £5, respectively.
Three years ago when we last reached the quarter final stage of the competition the cheapest adult ticket for our game with Middlesbrough was £30 and the cheapest junior £15. For the game on Saturday week those prices have been reduced by £5 and £10 respectively.
A final example brings us right up to date with Dad taking his two children to the Spurs game this weekend. He buys his tickets in the Family Enclosure and picks up a couple of programmes.
At half-time, they all have a pie. He has a pint and the kids have a soft drink each. He goes home having spent £82, only £1.10 more than he would have parted with in 2007/08 which means 'football' inflation is running at just over 1% in total over 4 years.
From a fan's point of view that can't be bad. And definitely not true of our petrol, gas, food and tax bills.

Return of the Yeti0 Reviews
The Yeti has striked!
"Man, the Yeti got me!" Nick said, glaring the empty spot on the inside of his locker door.
"Really. He did?" Warrick said, peeked inside Nick's locker curiously and grinned. "Guess that means you didn't break my record then?"
"It was only two days away. Besides nobody even wants to break that other record you made. Was it three minutes that you were able to keep Jamie in your first time? And step away from my locker. I don't want any of your DNA to contaminate my evidence", Nick said showing Warrick away. He just hoped his day was going to be a quiet one so that he could have enough time to process his current scene.
While Nick was taking out the proper evidence collecting equipments, Warrick watched his friend's actions with great amusement. He was more than curious to know who had enough courage to snatch Jamie from Nick. None of the new ones who didn't know Nick's obsession for this game would ever dare to break into his locker and those who might have guts to do it, knew they would very likely get caught. Then of course there were those, including himself, who knew Nick's obsession, but were skilful enough to avoid all the traps he had planted. And all of those people, again including him, were having way too much fun watching Nick to wipe his locker every day after shift so that the prints he would get off from the locker after Yeti attack would be fresh ones.
Nick had already dusted most of the inside of his locker door when a red haired girl stepped to the locker room. The unsure look on her face, that was very common for those who were not used to unisex locker rooms, melted to a more questioning one when she saw Nick first dusting and now lifting a print from his locker.
"You're that new audio girl, right", Warrick asked, understanding the hilariousness of the scene - after all, he had been grinning since the return of the Yeti and he at least knew what was happening.
"Mmm… yeah", the girl said turning slowly away from Nick, who seemed like he hadn't even noticed her coming in.
"Then this might look little weird to you", Warrick asked smiling to the red haired girl whose name he didn't remember ever hearing.
"After giving blood donation, running across half rotten snake in glass jar in the community fridge and listening fifteen minutes how these two guys argued about blue lightsaber vs. red ones, this - is pretty normal", the girl said and smiled. "Unless of course there is some really weird reason for him to dust his locker".
"Nah, he just got attacked by Yeti", Warrick said like that should explain everything. Apparently it didn't.
"Yeti? You don't suppose the USA government really have division like X-Files?" The girl asked, not sure if she should take Warrick seriously or not.
"Well I don't know about that, but that isn't the case in here. Yeti is a thief".
"A thief? Somebody broke to his locker?"
"And he only has this day to figure out who is it".
"He's leaving the division?"
"What! No no no… He's not going anywhere. It's the rules".
"Rules?" The girl said now more confused than ever.
"Yeah it's a game made by… actually I don't know who made it up. Anyway, we have a picture of this man… or woman, we haven't even figured that out, in a snowy mountain top. Nobody knows who she or he is or where the picture came from. That's why we just call the person in the picture Jamie", Warrick explained glancing over his shoulder to the empty spot in Nick's locker where the picture had been the few weeks. "So the game starts when somebody, the Yeti, stoles the picture. Yeti is supposed to put Jamie on his or hers own locker and the one it was stolen from is supposed to find it before the end of his or hers shift".
"And if they can't find it", the girl asked not so freaked out anymore. She too had had her own share or weird games in her previous job.
"Then he loses. So Nick here is trying to figure out who's the Yeti this time. And this should be interesting too… last time he didn't find the Yeti on time. Man the look on his face back then", Warrick said receiving an ugly look from Nick, who apparently wasn't as sucked to his investigation as it seemed.
"What happened to him?" the girl asked curiously.
"Nick? Well he…" Warrick started but the girl interrupted him.
"No, Jamie. What happened to it when Nick couldn't find it on time?"
"The Yeti won and kept it of course. And next time it was stolen from him by a new Yeti and so on…" Warrick said. "But hey, there is some fifteen minutes till the shift starts so… wanna grab a coffee with me? I can tell the most famous Yeti incident I have witnessed by the years I've been here", Warrick said smiling charmingly. And to a smile like that, you didn't need to think the answer twice.
Nick sit in front of his computer, eyes fixed to the screen where the more or less familiar faces ran buy. Occasionally computer found a match and one by one he excluded his pile of prints. Who would have known people leaned against others lockers this much.
Nick scanned his last print to the computer, straightening up a little. He had purposely left this one last because it was the most promising one. He didn't want to jump on conclusions on this one. If he went to a wrong locker now it would be the end of game for him. Last time when he had been attacked by Yeti he had just been promoted to Level 3. It had really eaten up him then when the Yeti was later exposed to be some young summer help. And the fact that he had been dealing with a double homicide that day hadn't sounded like a good excuse back then.
Now when he looked back, he realised how childish he had been to freak out so much from a thing like that - especially when he really had had his hands full with that double. So as much as Rick enjoyed laughing at him for that, none of them would be laughing if he had neglected his investigation because of a game.
This time though he was lucky, because there had been a slow night and he only needed to worry about his paper work.
The flipping on the computer screen stopped on that thought and Nick turned his full attention to the screen. He silently cheered inside his mind. Getting of from his chair he practically ran away from the research room to Grissom's office. Luckily he was there, fully swallowed by some thousand page old looking book.
"Grissom, Brant McKinney has Jamie. I need the key", Nick said so fast the words barely were understandable.
"Brant? You sure about that", Grissom said, looking Nick behind his glasses and putting his book down.
"I'm sure", Nick said and meant it. He really was sure of it. Brant was a Level 2 CSI who was up for a promotion. He was also a little too cocky for his own good. He fit perfectly for the character who would try to challenge one from Grissom's team. And his print was found from the upper frame of his locker door. He probably though he would only need one glove but probably need some support when taking off Jamie.
"Well if you're sure…" Grissom said and walked to the key cabinet, where all the spare keys were. It was easy to find the right key in the well organized cabinet and soon Grissom and Nick were strolling through the glass windows. They had collected a couple of curious eyes along them and when they finally came to Brent's locker there were half a dozen people standing behind Nick.
Taking a deep breath Nick put the key to the lock and opened the door. Everybody stared the almost empty locker that instead of picture of a person on snowy mountains had a piece of white paper in it with words 'Round one for me, bro' on it, the last 'o' shaped like a deformed heart.
~The End~
And now back to KYV… this drabble was of course inspired by that snowboarder picture that keeps changing its locker… If my memory serves me correctly it had been at least in Sara's and Warrick's locker.

The EPA Can't Give Up Ground on Biofuels

Together with eight other lawmakers, Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) recently introduced a bill to eliminate the mandate for corn-based ethanol. This proposal comes just weeks after the Environmental Protection Agency announced plans to reduce the ethanol fuel requirement.
Both moves are reckless and unjustifiable. The nation must break its fossil-fuel addiction.
Corn-based ethanol helps cut domestic greenhouse gas emissions, lowers gasoline prices, and supports hundreds of thousands of jobs. Plans to limit its use will stall the drive for clean energy, while wreaking havoc on the nation's agricultural markets.
Our leaders can't cede ground to the fossil fuels industry. Policymakers must reconsider these misguided plans, and instead, redouble their efforts to promote renewable energy, especially domestic biofuels.
Since the passage of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, fuel manufacturers have been required to gradually increase the amount of corn-based ethanol in most U.S. gasoline. The rule -- known as the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) -- was intended to wean the country away from environmentally hazardous fossil fuels.
Ethanol has been an invaluable tool for mitigating the dangers of fossil fuel use. The corn-based fuel offers one of the few workable strategies for meeting the nation's environmental goals. For example, harmful emissions from ethanol are between 48 and 59 percent lower than gasoline.
And unlike many other renewable energy sources, ethanol is economically sound, selling up to a dollar less per gallon than gasoline. The widespread adoption of ethanol has also strengthened our agriculture industry, supporting 300,000 jobs and contributing $43.4 billion to the national economy.
Not surprisingly, the fossil fuel sector has carried out a relentless campaign to smear ethanol as expensive, inefficient, and damaging to automobile engines. Further, supporters of the Corn Ethanol Mandate Elimination Act contend that using ethanol as fuel raises animal feed and food prices to unmanageable levels.
When you look at the overall low cost of corn as a food ingredient, and the fact that we're meeting all needs for corn with a surplus of more than 1.7 billion bushels this year, this argument falls apart. Further, food prices are much more affected by increases in oil and other energy prices.
Another widespread myth is that gasoline mixtures with more than 10 percent ethanol aren't suitable for many of today's cars. In fact, more than half of the cars on the road today are approved by the EPA for E15 fuel (a 15 percent blend of ethanol), and nearly two-thirds of the nation's cars produced next year will be explicitly approved by their manufacturer for E15 and/or E85.
The EPA has even pointed to a so-called "E10 blend wall" as a reason for relaxing the RFS in 2014. Thanks to the recent drop-off in demand for gasoline due to more efficient cars and fewer miles traveled overall, the agency notes, "[n]early all gasoline sold in the U.S. is now 'E10.'" According to the EPA's argument, without a reduction in the RFS, refiners will be forced to produce gasoline containing more ethanol than most cars can handle.
But the agency's own research shows that blends as high as E15 are appropriate for all cars made after 2001. What's more, automakers continue to turn out flex-fuel vehicles that can run on blends ranging up to E85. In the United States alone, there are more than 15 million flex-fuel vehicles on the road today.
The EPA's policy change is entirely ill-advised. The reform will not only set back an economically viable green initiative, it will leave American farmers in the lurch.
A record-high corn crop this season has already driven prices below the break-even point of about $4.25 a bushel. Proposals to reduce or eliminate ethanol use will lower prices even further, threatening family farms and destroying countless jobs in rural communities.
What's more, corn farmers are already planning for next year's crop. Without the assurance that the Obama Administration will enforce the RFS as promised, determining how much to plant will be more of a gamble than usual.
The goal of the RFS was to accelerate the adoption of renewable fuels across America, and relaxing ethanol standards in 2014 will betray this cause, introduce unnecessary turmoil into our agricultural sector, and hand an unearned victory to the fossil fuels industry. Agency officials and Congressional leaders should waste no time in rejecting these proposals.
Martin Barbre is an Illinois farmer and president of the National Corn Growers Association.

Wow, Biased article? Ya think?
It's wayyy past time to get that junk out of our vehicles, It's not the answer to our energy problems and it�s not nearly as clean as Mr. Barbre wants us to think it is. He doesn�t mention how much Diesel, Fertilizer, pesticide, harvest, transport, or processing chemicals are consumed per bushel? How much ethanol do you get out of a bushel? How many bushels can you get off one acre? Let�s see�
We can get 2.5 � 2.8 Gallons of Ethanol per Bushel of corn and about 18 bushels per acre. That�s about 50 Gallons. We currently use around 6 million acres of corn to produce 1% of US fuel requirements. If you apply how much Ethanol it would take to meet our national fuel requirements you would find that we don�t actually have that much farm land in the entire country! We won�t get into how much fresh water it would take to grow that corn�
One gallon of ethanol is equal to .65 of a gallon of gasoline in terms of energy. (Do a mileage check between E85 and regular unleaded and the change in you mileage should reflect something like that ratio, mine gets 18.8 on Unleaded and 13.2 on E85. No savings there..)
In terms of energy produced per gallon and cost per gallon to produce let look at BTU�s. We will use the LHV (Lower Heating Value) measurement since we�re talking about motor fuel:
1 US Gallon of unleaded gasoline is good for about 115,000 BTU�s. The same Gallon of Ethanol is only good for about 76,000 BTU�s. OK so that�s not so bad right? Here�s the deal killer, the part the EPA and Mr. Barbre don�t want you to know or think about� It currently requires around 22,000 BTU�s of energy to produce that gallon of Gas and 98,000 BTU�s to produce that same gallon of Ethanol. Get that? Methanol TAKES MORE ENERGY TO PRODUCE IT, THAN IT PRODUCES! (Kind of like our government!).
Ask your Boat or Auto mechanic what he thinks about Ethanol and its effects, I�ll take their word before Mr. Barbre�s, I�ve never met a mechanic that doesn�t think it�s hard on engines and fuel systems, even though it may be good for their bottom line. My mechanic told me a bunch of mumbo jumbo about water absorption, bigger molecules damaging �O� rings, and deposits on injectors among other things. My Boat mechanic warned me not to leave fuel in the carburetors because fuel stabilizer isn�t as effective on the ethanol that�s already in regular unleaded (10%). That was expensive too.
Prices, Mr. Barbre suggests that Ethanol has no effect on the price of other commodities, I beg to differ, It�s common knowledge that when the demand for corn went up for Ethanol, Farmers who were producing other things started growing corn instead (wouldn�t you?) The initial drop in corn supplies drove up the cost of animal feed and most other corn products. I�ve seen the cost of pork products, cooking oil, animal feed and other things go up with my own eyes. Most obvious to me was the spike in Deer corn prices, from $6.50 to $10 per 50 lb. bag, OUCH!
It seems to me that Mr. Barbre is, and the EPA has, been blowing smoke up our� Exhaust pipes about corn fuel. But hey, don�t take my word for it, the info is out there (unless you�re talking about the healthcare bill) go look for it.
I hope the Ethanol mandate is defeated, I�m not saying we should stop looking for alternative fuels, who knows in the next hundred years or two we may actually run out of oil? For now, I�m going to fill up the truck (with Regular) pick up a couple bags for my deer feeder, then relax with a BLT and shot of Makers (My favorite use for corn). And as for Mr Barbre and his whiny one sided article? He can go sell that bunk somewhere else, I ain�t buyin.

Funny, someone from the corn growers assoc. would be against lowering ethanol in gas. Could it be because the government is subsidizing the corn growers for this product? Feed prices are directly affected by ethanol use. Sounds like sour grapes on behalf of the writer. No product should be subsidized by the government. Supply and demand is what should regulate the prices in a free market.!

Wyden is also co-sponsoring theOPEN Act, an alternative that focuses on foreign sites and requires due process before shutdown or seizure.From reading the text, the mechanism seems to be financial embargo of any payment processing or advertising for that domain, by U.S. companies. So essentially they would get the wikileaks treatment, I think. Although I'm not sure if the law would require the denial of payment processing for foreign users. Would people in, for example, Sweden still be able to use their Visa card to donate to the pirate bay? Or buy knockoff Louis Vuitton bags?
There's a billion examples of this on there and I had joined them back in 2003, when it was just that they were hells-a-poppin' cheap compared to Network Solutions, who themselves had broken DNS (via their default-to-us-if-the-domain-isn't-around trick) for greed, that GoDaddy seemed like a win-win.I still have a couple domains at register.com that I need to move somewhere else. The worst part is that I never even log onto it, so I usually renew the domains for a long time so I don't lose them. Which makes me log on even less. I ended up losing a domain that way, one that had hosted a somewhat popular website for a while, one that I thought would be fun to re-start at some point in the future.
bored salarymen dreaming of starting the next Facebook.Hahah, true. My domain list is mostly detritus from thinking up some awesome idea that mostly never really got any farther then then buying the domain name.

So ask yourself: does this look like the kind of software that you'd want to use to hear from your 717,000 constituents? Sure, it's a CRM, and not a lot of CRM's look "great to use" but this one, clearly belongs on Daring Fireball's User Interface of the Week not just for its patently bad interface but also for the harm its doing to democracy. --Dear Internet: It's No Longer OK to Not Know How Congress Works
It's Someone who makes a deliberate decision to remove a vast amount of news and information sources from one's diet, sticking to a well constrained allowable set of consumption inputs for their own health's sake.
I'd say there are probably better people to work with against this than Erik Eriksson. His last Internet advocacy campaign wasn't exactly stellar.Having left and right-wing grassroots working together could, in theory be pretty powerful. The whole thing with the Kotch brothers and their funding of the tea party is to fragment the middle class and poor so they can't effectively fight back against wallstreet. Plus erikson is advocating that this be done in the correct way, via primary campaigns
A fund should be created and the left should go out and find candidates to take on the Democrat sponsors. The right should go out and find candidates to take on the Republican sponsors. Heck, maybe Act Blue would let us on the right come by and we can all use their pre-existing platform (a platform no one on the right has even been able to really compete with. Seriously, I'm a big admirer).Too many people don't realize that the only way to get rid of a long-term incumbent is to take them on in a primary campaign. Going after them in the general is just not going to work, districts are way to gerrymandered, and unless there are big demographic shifts or lines need to be re-drawn or whatever, incumbents rarely lose.
GoDaddy has NOT withdrawn its official congressional support os SOPA"Official" support is not that important. What matters is lobbying dollars. But making an example of GoDaddy is a good idea.

Hi all, so I planted a couple rhizomes about 2 1/2 weeks ago and the Mt. Hood had a nice little shoot coming up, about an inch or two and the Newport still has nothing. The Mt. Hood has begun to wither for no apparent reason other than just not liking me. The leaves are turning yellow... could it be too much watering or maybe the Las Vegas heat? It has been hovering around the 100F degree mark but these things should love all that sun!
How often are you watering? You might want to pick up a water meter to make sure the roots are getting watered. How's the soil? Get some good rotten manure on there if you can.
It may be the heat. Depends on how moist the soil is. If the rhisome have only been in the ground 2-1.2 weeks they likely have little root system available to pull in water and you may need to water lightly and frequently.
If the soil stays soggy under a layer of dried crust, the rhisome may be bogged and could be beginning to rot.
1. What did you plant them in? Hops like loose, slightly acid soils The caliche in Las Vegas is more like concrete than soil. When I lived there, I dug deep holes for everything and back-filled with a mix of compost, peat-moss and vermiculite. No native soil at all.
2. They should be shaded for the first couple months.
3. Yellow is a nutrient problem. Nitrogen or potassium or the soil is so alkaline the roots can't absorb anything.
Good chance your water is also alkaline.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Yeah Im having the same problem some of mine sprouted but died back, I have pretty much given up. I used top soil and organic humus, manure mixture. Oh well hop prices are coming down
I am watering 3 times a day with a 2 liter soda bottle and a little spout on the end that doesn't allow for all the water to dump out at once. They are planted in 2 individual plant pots. I can't remember the size but they are about 2 feet tall and 1 foot across. We had some garden soil from previous planting so I used that and a combination of some other top soil. The water is running out the bottom so it isn't getting to boggy, and the soil is moist but not wet.
So putting them in the shade might be a good idea since it will be well over 100F for the next couple months?
I was able to get my hands on a couple more rhizomes just in case these guys don't make it. I figure if I plant them it couldn't hurt since we don't have a real winter here. Our "Fall season" isn't until December. I think I'll pick up some larger planters and some better soil mix and see what I can do about misters. An options right now couldn't hurt!
Thanks for the advice!
If you can place them where they get morning sun, but are shaded in the afternoon, that would also help. Since you are using pots, once the roots are strong, you could move them to get more sun.
Hops are very sensitive to day length and will die-back in the Fall regardless of where you are located.

At last Dylan Redwine's parents have an answer -- the 13-year-old's remains were found today, according to the La Planta County Sheriff's office. It's the most heart-wrenching answer a parent can get, but after months of wondering and hoping since his disappearance last November at least they know now.
The case was wrought with questions from the beginning as Dylan disappeared while visiting his father, Mark Redwine, in his Vallecito, Colorado home. He typically lived with his mother, Elaine Redwine, in Colorado Springs after his parents divorced in 2007.
Mark left Dylan home while he went out to run some errands on the morning of November 19, and when he returned, the boy was gone ... never to be seen again until today when his body was found, about 10 miles from Mark's home.
Since his disappearance, the already contentious relationship between Mark and Elaine has gotten even worse. Both have blamed each other for the boy's disappearance (though neither has been named a suspect), but now they must bury him together. Mark told the paper:
I am reaching out to his mom so he can have a proper burial. Making sure he gets a proper burial and the respect he deserves is what I have to focus on,
Now that the big question has been so sadly answered, the others must be answered as well: Who would harm this beautiful, innocent boy, and why? Police say they are investigating it as a criminal matter, not an accident. There's no good answer obviously, but in these cases, I always hope that it's not a parent, because I can't imagine anything worse than a person taking the life of someone to whom they gave that life. Unfortunately, all too often it is.
In any case, this family deserves to know what happened. Whoever did it deserves to pay the price. R.I.P., Dylan.
What do you think could have happened in this case?

awwwww. this breaks my heart so much. Many prayers for this family
This article doesn't include details, but I am sure the police know who's responsible and pray they will be able to prove it. My heartfelt condolences to the innocent relatives.. It's so sad.
May he rest in peace and give peace to the parents and family. We don' t know what happened but I'm sure if it was murder the person will pay for it. God has another angel in heaven with him!
Heart breaking i pray the family can heal from such a loss. Who in the world could harm a child ,this make's me sick to think people can be so cruel,hateful, and mentally sick.
How does Julie expect us to have an opinion on what may have happened when no actual details are provided?
watching this case on Dr. Phil, the father is as guilty as guilty can be, he didn't even try to look for his missing child, didn't attend any of the gatherings, and seeing that he had threating the mother seveal times and a history of violence, I hope they get him......There is nothing about his story to make the slightest since..

Secondary peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum, the thin tissue that lines the inner wall of the abdomen and covers most of the abdominal organs.
Secondary means it is due to another condition, most commonly the spread of an infection from the digestive tract.
Secondary peritonitis has several major causes. Bacteria may enter the peritoneum through a hole (perforation) in the gastrointestinal tract. Such a hole may be caused by a ruptured appendix, stomach ulcer, perforated colon, or injury, such as a gunshot or knife wound.
Secondary peritonitis can also occur when bile or chemicals released by the pancreas (pancreatic enzymes) leak into the lining of the abdominal cavity.
Foreign contaminants can also cause secondary peritonitis if they get into the peritoneal cavity. This can occur during use of peritoneal dialysis catheters or feeding tubes.
Inflammation of the peritoneal cavity caused by bacteria can result in infection of the bloodstream (sepsis) and severe illness.
Secondary peritonitis can also affect premature babies who have necrotizing enterocolitis.
Note: There may be signs of shock.
Vital signs may be abnormal with fever, rapid heart rate and breathing, and low blood pressure.
Tests may include:
Surgery is usually necessary to remove sources of infection such as an infected bowel, inflamed appendix, or abscess.
General treatment includes:
The outcome depends on the underlying cause, the duration of symptoms before treatment, and the general health of the patient. Outcomes can range from complete recovery to overwhelming infection and death, depending on these factors.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of peritonitis. This is a serious condition that typically requires emergency medical treatment.

Consumers' Willingness to Pay for the Color of Salmon: A Choice Experiment with Real Economic Incentives
AbstractIn most retail markets, sellers post the price and consumers choose which products to buy. We designed an experimental market with posted prices to investigate consumers' willingness to pay for the color of salmon. Salmon fillets varying in color and price were displayed in twenty choice scenarios. In each scenario, the participants chose which of two salmon fillets they wanted to buy. To induce real economic incentives, each participant drew one binding scenario; the participants then had to buy the salmon fillet they had chosen in their binding scenario. The choice data were analyzed with a mixed logit model. Copyright 2006, Oxford University Press.

If the guy wants to leave the game for his reasons, let him go.
Seems like every time a "I am leaving WoW" thread pop's up, people have to judge the person of being wrong.
I to took the plunge not to long ago, and moved on away from WoW, and will never look back. Every one gets engulfed a little in the current game, and some way more then others. This can cause people only to see one side. I played WoW for 2 years and I enjoyed it and had no quorums. And as time went on the game did not go in the direction that suited "my personal play style".
If a player wants to post I am leaving thread let them. So what if there was a change that he did not like, or the style has changed for them. You might like that change, while he did not. Just think of it, if you were in the other players shoes. A bunch of changed that you did not like, and it changed the game for you.
WoW has the most negative community I have ever seen. Try to be positive, and embrace the difference of other players. I know I will get some bashing for posting something that might have a negative effect on your style of gaming. But in the end what else can be said.


text: FAIRBANKS- Several groups are speaking out against Governor Sean Parnell's decision to reject Medicaid expansion in the state. Most recently the Anchorage Daily News wrote an editorial saying, the governor "chooses disrespect for thousands of Alaskans." Alaska Democrats have also voiced their disappointment that thousands more people will remain uninsured without the expansion. According to the Lewin Group report, released by the governor, about 20,000 individuals will remain uninsured that would otherwise be covered with expanded Medicaid.

From the article: Compelling Cases for Souls of Animals
Do you believe cats and other animals have souls? Have you had any personal experiences that you feel back up those beliefs? Or do you think that when they die, they are just gone? Share your stories and opinions with other readers. Questions or responses to other Answers will not be published. Think of this as your own mini-article, but make your case as compelling as you can, within the character limits. Share Your Experiences
Of Course!!!!!!
- Cats are Living Beings; of course they have Souls/Spirit. And their Spirit Lives On after they're gone. My Purrball died last week; & a couple days later she "visited" me. She just loved to dive into my Crafts on the table, happily spewing them everywhere. A couple days after she died, I woke up in the morning to find my livingroom in Shambles! Purrball had Visited; all of my Craft stuff was off the table & all over the floor, a big mess all over the livingroom - just exactly as she did in real life! I just had to Laugh - that was Purrball alright!! After that, I was'nt near so Sad, 'cause I knew she was in Heaven Happy.

Yes, cats have souls (duh)
- Yes, cats have souls. It is obvious to anyone who has ever loved a cat or a dog that there is a soul. It seems to me that personality is a function of the immaterial part of a being, and cats definitely have personality. This is, of course, an emotional response on our part and you could argue that humans attribute human qualities to things not human. Nevertheless, it seems to me that the burden of proof is on the side of those who argue against anecdotal reports of human behaviors, thus soul behaviors, from cats. Even from the theological standpoint, I would argue that cats have souls. Whether you are a dichotomist or a trichotomist, cats could be viewed as having both a material and immaterial part. There is also an argument from the continuity of identity (not enough space left), and the argument from praise & blame. If feel it natural to praise animals for helping humans and think they feel shame when scolded, we obvious treat them as having souls. Yes, cats have souls.
- —Lee_Jones
Do Cats Have Souls?
- Yes, I believe they do.They know when their owner is in pain, whether physical or emotional and they stay close by their side. Their hearts are full of love and that comes from the soul.My Aunt had a cat that died after she passed away- He stayed outside her bedroom door and would not eat- The Vet said he diad of a broken heart.That`s soul. Just after I added my opinion,,My George died the 7th of this mo.,Nov.-- he was nearly 16- I am comforted by the other comments posted here, that he is secure in Heaven and I thank-you for that- Sincerely, Jean
- —Guest Jean Breton
Do Cats Have Souls?
- Yes, cats as well as all animals have souls. The soul is the life force energy that animates the bodies of all living things and gives them consciousness and awareness. All you have to do is look into an animals eyes to know. They feel pain and experience joy and love just as we do. They have strong family bonds with their offspring and companions (both human and animal). Like human beings, cats and all animals are creations of God. They deserve love and compassion, and they also give it back to us.
- —Guest Tumeria Langlois
The afterlife of my cat...
- I have believed in animals having a soul and moving forward to an afterlife and eventually re-incarnating again like humans, but for animals the time on the other side can be short or long, but not as long as for us humans. My cat, my great love had to be put to sleep, because of serious illness. He didn't die at home. For this reason I was so glad that he came to our and his home two days after he passed over. He stood in the middle of the living room floor and let out a cry. The cry was the same as when he had a pain while alive, but I clearly understood that it wasn't a pain issue, he communicated to me that he was confused and didn't understand what had happened to him. I consoled him and then he was taken away, by helpers on the other side. I'm so glad that this happened. I wanted him to return to our home, if only for a minute to be sure that he could find us . Now I'm waiting until he is whole in his spirit body and expect him to let me know that all is well with him now.

Cat's have souls...Indeed they do!
- For a HUMAN to have a "Soul" a "Human" must be "Soulful". When you define it from that, I.E. "Would a Human Pull Another Human From A Burning Building?" (And CAT's have been known to do this with OTHER Cat's, Kittens, and even their "Humans", it proves that they are INDEED Soulful. They have compassion. and a need for LOVE and Attention which shows they can PROVIDE Love and attention. Having a "Soul" does NOT mean your Cat will go to Heaven,or The Bardo or maybe ANYWHERE at all when it dies. There is ONE thing that IS sure. Energy can not be destroyed, it can only be CHANGED. Ergo, made into something NEW and different. I do not pretend to KNOW if YOUR cat will follow you to "Your" Heaven or "Bardo" or maybe "No-Where". THAT debate can go on ad nauseam. What I DO know, is that when I see something that REMINDS me of my beloved lost creature, it "Sparks" something in me. A Feeling, happiness,Joy, and sometimes Sadness. They DO live on. But if it's in the mind or Nature Its a Mystery. ET

My Spooker
- My little sweet girl Spooker passed yesterday morning. She was my little buddy and I will always love her. I would wake up in the middle of the night sometimes to find her next to me looking right into my eyes and I would talk to her and tell her what a good girl she was. I am sure did not understand the words but I do believe she understood what I meant. I will treasure her forever.

Yes, cats have souls
- I had to put my cat Maya to sleep yesterday, June 2 2012. She was 12 yrs old. I had no idea that she was sick and when her rib cage looked like it was straining to breathe, i called the vet. After xrays, the vet told me the bad news and I had to make a decision I have always felt belonged to God. When I first got her in 2001, she use to ride around on my dad;s walker, sit in his favourite chair, which he allowed. My dad died in 2003 and there have been numerous times I have felt his presense. Before Maya died yesterday, I held her and told her to make sure she found my dad. Last night, I was laying in bed, praying for a sign, and my outdoor chimes rang, just a light tinkle. It was a sign that she found my dad, and would be fine. Do cats have souls? Yes they do. I can just feel it. I loved her and she loved me. When the vet injected herm she turned, put her head in my arm and left this earth. I will miss her so much!!

- I have always had at least one cat. Several stories come to mind that I can tell here, but I will tell you one concerning my daughter and our cat Smokey who passed away several years ago. He was my daughter's first pet. My daughter was meeting a friend in England and always wanted to go to Paris. I advised her not to go, because I knew it would be very lonely for her not to have a travelling companion and friend to share the four days with. Well, she went anyway and unfortunately I was correct. She was miserable and terribly sad. On her last night there she stayed in her room and went to bed early crying herself to sleep. During the night she had a most unusual dream. She dreamed she was at the bottom of a large grassy hill standing at the bottom. As she looked up at the top of the hill. Suddenly, one, two, several, dozens, and then hundreds of Smokeys came to her and stood all around her to comfort her with love.

A Sign that he was there!
- The day after my cat , who I loved so much ,was put to sleep my husband and I visited a lovely old village church that was filled with my favorite flowers LILLY's. The smell was was so lovely as we entered the church. I duly lit a candle and prayed that my cat TOM would be taken care of in heaven. That evening at home my husband and I were sitting in the lounge and talking about the lovely village church we had visited, It was then that I smelt a wonderful smell of Lillys I did not say anything to my husband (not wanting him to think that I was completly bonkers!) when all of a sudden he said to me that he could smell lillys!!. This was a sign to me that my Tom had made a connection to me, to let me know that he was aware that we had been in the church that day and he was up there. Now I am not in the least bit religious, but I know that this ment something, so do cat have souls, yes I have no doubt that they do, and someday I will meet him again.

Faith Hope and Love
- Of these three none is greater than love because it is eternal. All sentient beings have souls. An animald soul is not as evolved as ours to seek God or enlightment or worship but when they can bring us closer to the creator they are doing good works. All things that bring us closer to God are good, be they painful or joyful. In bringing us closer to the creator, teaching us love, sacrifice, patience and more they are doing Gods work. This makes them angels on earth with a purpose. Their greatest lessons can come at the end of their physical existence; teaching us detachment and release of the ego. Bringing us closer to transcendence. It is therefore in faith hope, and love that I know our souls are entwined and closer to the creators light everlasting. Amen. Om manni padme hum Nena's mantra

I do feel that my "furry children" have!
- Maybe someone might say I'm wrong! But ever scince my Dear Button's passed, he visits me! (So I don't know what some people would say about that!) When at night I'm sitting on my couch, I feel a cat jump up at the end of it and walk slowly toward me! Now I must tell you I still have living cats, but my couch is very sturdy and even if I watch them jump up, I can't feel them!!! And usually just before this happens I feel a cat brush slowly against my legs!!! And slowly as He did when he was still alive, He stops and lays down with His head on my thigh!! He always did this every night but I don't miss it because He always comes to me!!!!!

A Cat is a Living Soul!
- Do I believe Cats have souls - certainly. Just like humans, we are all Souls. Living Souls. Talking about one livig being here - cats. The soul is the complete cat, the make up of the cat, the entire cat is a soul. Is there life after death for the cat, that many believe that a soul is separate from the body, this may be argumentative, my opinion, is no. From dust you are, to dust you will return. When your cat dies (sadly) then its soul dies. G-forbid, I love my beautiful little precious moggie, I only hope she will be with me for a long time as I enjoy every day with her, she has a beautiful, playful soul. I give her good homemade food I create, and plenty of special love which keeps her coming back for more! She knows she is the queen of my home, which makes her soul so much more beautiful! Cheers Shan http://homemadecattreatsrecipes.com

Her soul has visited
- Less than a week before she passed, my beloved cat found a basket next to the shower to mark. I watched her as I had seen her mark this basket with her whiskers many times. But this time, she marked it vigorously, over and over again . .for about 2 minutes. After I had her put down, I was waiting for the sign she had made it to the spirit world. nothing for hours. Then , I jumped into the shower and I felt her jump into my arms and giving me licks. she wanted me to know she had made it. It wasn't until I got out of the shower and looked down at the basket that I remembered her effort the week before. she purposely marked that spot so I would remember and know for sure that this is where she would would first greet me! Incredible!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am extremely upset with the school this year. We moved here 2 years ago. My daughter's first year was great. We loved her teacher and her willingness to help our daughter progress and communication was great. The Princlple, Mr Brown, was such a good asset to the school. We felt at ease sending our daughter to school. This year we have had one issue after the other. The communication is HORRIBLE!! When concerns were brought to the princples attention, she would not address them. We felt that she would brush us off, and ignore the issue. More or less, that she didn't want to deal with them. After speaking with other parents, we again, tried to contact the princple to seek clarifications, trying to keep an open mind and stay on neutral grounds, but she became very defensive and would not discuss the matter with us.
This school is the best thing that happened to my children. The teachers are very attentive and willing to work with a child that has trouble in many areas of learning. The principal is willing to do alot for the students. My son was being chased home from school by some sixth graders and Mr. Brown took my children to the boys home and spoke to their parents, the boys no longer chase my son home, they stay away from him completely. The PTA does alot for the school, they always find fun things to do. Thank you McKinley Elementry staff. I am sure that my children will remember this school with love.
