Guillain-Barré (Ghee-yan Bah-ray) Syndrome is an inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nerves outside the brain and spinal cord.
It's also called:
- Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
- Landry's Ascending Paralysis
Read More
GBS is characterized by the rapid onset of numbness, weakness, and often paralysis of the legs, arms, breathing muscles, and face. Paralysis is ascending, meaning that it travels up the limbs from fingers and toes towards the torso.
GBS came to public attention briefly when it struck a number of people who received the 1976 swine flu vaccine. Although not in the news as much today, it continues to claim thousands of new victims each year, striking any one at any age, regardless of gender or ethnic background.
The rapid onset of weakness, frequently accompanied by abnormal sensations (numbness, tingling) that affect both sides of the body similarly, is common. Loss of reflexes, such as the knee jerk, are usually found.
- Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (AIDP) 75% – 80% of cases fall into this 'classic' category
- Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy (AMAN) Similar to AIDP, but without sensory symptoms
- Acute Motor Sensory Axonal Neuropathy (AMSAN) Severe variant of GBS more prevalent in Asia, Central America, and South America
- Miller Fisher Syndrome Characterized by double vision, loss of balance, and deep tendon reflexes
Living with GBS
Recovery may occur over six months to two years or longer. A particularly frustrating consequence of GBS is long-term recurrences of fatigue and/or exhaustion as well as abnormal sensations including pain and muscle aches. These can be aggravated by 'normal' activity and can be alleviated by pacing activity and rest.

Maybe I have just been very lucky. But since cata's release I have had real life interfere with WoW time and haven't been able to raid. My experience in LFR has been nothing but pleasant. The worst I have had to deal with was once on the spine of deathwing DPS who didn't know the fight killed all the tentacles and the tank didn't move the amalgamation to the right spot. After a single wipe, the fight was explained and we went on to finish the raid.
IMHO Raid Finder has been a bright spot of this expansion, and groups are way more cooperative than even 5man lfg's.
Hah... It's especially funny when you have people panicking over the Amalg's health being at half because the tank hasn't picked up any bloods... only for it to be a case of the tank actually being SMART and waiting til the Amalg is low on health (around 4 million or so) before grabbing all the bloods at once... 'Cuz, you know, it does more damage with blood stacks and AoEs once it hits 9, so the less time spent at that point the better for the healers. =P

Activity 1. Swing low, swing high
You might not have noticed but when you're flying through the air on a swing, you are engaged in a battle – a battle against gravity! The force of gravity tends to pull things towards the ground, so to get up high, you need energy to overcome it.
When you start off on the swing, you use your legs to push yourself off, and this gives you energy to get the swing moving. By pulling on the ropes and moving your legs back and forward you can increase the speed of the swing, and your motion energy, which will help you to get up higher. When the energy runs out at the top of the swing, gravity wins, and sends you back down.
Would a heavy person make the swing go faster than a lighter person? Recruit an adult and try this for yourself! You'll find it's possible make the swing travel faster and go higher whatever weight you are, but the size of the person on the swing doesn't affect how long it takes to swing back and forward.
The only way you can make the swing swing more speedily, is to shorten the ropes . As Dom discovered, not only did his feet not touch the ground any more, but he swung back and forward slightly faster than before.
Activity 2. The wheelbarrow challenge
Keen gardeners often have a wheelbarrow to move heavy items around the garden. That's because a wheel barrow makes the job far easier. The wheelbarrow acts as a lever, which is a simple machine which allows us to lift heavy objects. The wheel is the pivot, the fixed point which the handles turn around. The longer the handles or the further from the pivot we apply a force the easier the load is to lift.
You can test this for yourself if you have two identical loads – Dick and Dom used 50kg of potatoes in bags. Try carrying the load by yourself, and notice how heavy it is. Now plonk the load in the wheelbarrow and have a quick rest! When you're ready, try using the wheelbarrow to lift them. You should find it's easier – in fact you may even find you can cart an adult around, if you can find one willing to volunteer!
Activity 3. Spades and superhuman powers
Another type of lever you'll find in the garden is a spade.
Find a piece of earth you're allowed to dig in … Now plunge the spade into the ground, and try digging a hole with your hands held low down the shaft, not far above the metal part?
Now for comparison, move your hands to the top of the handle. You'll find you can exert lots of pressure on the ground to dig the earth out, without much effort. That long handle is there for a reason!
A see saw is another example of a lever. If you sit close to the pivot at the centre, it's very hard to lift your friend into the air. The further out you are, the easier it is. Even a small child could lift and adult into the air if the seesaw was long enough … As Dom said, a lever effectively gives you superhuman powers!

This is one of the simplest raid encounters I've ever, well, encountered. The first time I did it, though, was a gear check - we wiped to the enrage our first attempt. Still, if your group is having trouble with Argaloth's enrage, you're going to come up very short on Maloriak and even Halfus's enrage would probably stretch you.
Because of the very simplistic mechanics, Argaloth is also a great Patchwerk-style dps dummy. Melee dps will have lower dps values than they would if they could stay behind their target the whole time, but an intelligent raid leader can easily compensate for that in their analysis. It's also a decent way of looking at healers because as long as you 2 heal it (10 man) both healers will be required to handle raid damage, tank damage, dispelling, and personal survival. Also, since the raid is easily accessible (i.e. PUGable), anyone should be able to gather data from it. For guilds that want to gauge their own progress, test their recruits, or want to see logs of applicants, this fight is excellent.

I'm in Santa Cruz. I arrived at 7:30 this morning. Met a really cool Indian guy named Rangeen (sp?) on the bus. Santa Cruz more beautiful then I remembered it. The weather is beautiful. It was chilly this morning, but hiking around with my backpack and guitar has kept me plenty warm. It's a pleasant 70 something degrees right now. I've made some progress on a song I'm working on. Today has been a really great start to the trip.

Jacob gets 10 day ban
Daryl Jacob
(Healy Racing Photos)
Riding the well-backed Ulis De Vassy, Jacob was disputing the lead in the Racing Welfare Fox-Pitt Handicap Hurdle when he appeared to mistake a marker pole 50 yards from the finish for the winning post and momentarily eased his mount down.
Although it seemed unlikely that his mount would have got the better of the battle with 9/2 winner Quaddick Lake, the winning margin was only a neck and the stewards ruled that he had failed to ride out "on a horse that could have been placed first" and banned him for 10 days.
Jacob declined to comment on the stewards' decision, but the ban which covers racedays from December 20 to January 1 includes his ride aboard Kauto Stone in the King George VI Chase and the Coral Welsh National at Chepstow on the following day.

"If somebody told you there was a medication that could treat 100 different conditions, didn't require a prescription, was free, and had no bad side effects, you wouldn't believe them," says Harvard Medical School psychologist Carol Ginandes, PhD. "I don't want to sound like a snake oil salesman, because hypnosis is not a magic wand. But it should be made available as a supplementary treatment for all patients who could benefit. Right now."
The above quote attests to the power of the mind and the mind-body connection. When you enter the hypnotic state, your conscious mind disconnects completely and you engage with your subconscious mind, which contains a record of everything that has happened in your life. By connecting with the subconscious, you are able to retrieve information that helps you understand how repeated experiences, messages and influences can cause "dis-ease" within us. Hypnosis can help free you from the impact of those previous influences that contributed to emotional, mental, or physical ill health.
While often misunderstood, hypnosis is a very natural process that we enter into every day (while concentrating, focusing, day dreaming, driving, etc.). Because each person is unique, we may experience hypnosis in slightly different ways, but, overall, it is soothing, comfortable, and pleasant. Some people have referred to it as a mental massage. And by learning how to do self-hypnosis during your first session, you can return to that wonderful state anytime you'd like. While there, you are always in control and will return to a fully conscious state whenever you want or need to. Hypnosis empowers you make the changes that lead to improved health. It can also serve as a complimentary approach to enhance the outcomes of other health modalities and treatments.

The Oregonian reports this afternoon that Portland City Commissioner Amanda Fritz has asked the same question I posed this morning: who at Multnomah County gave the order for Sonia Manhas to be fired? As written by Brad Schmidt: "Fritz declined to comment on Cogen's decision to reject calls from the Board of County Commissioners for his resignation. But Fritz did say the county should explain why Manhas was forced to resign Wednesday and who in the county pushed for it."
Who indeed pushed for Ms. Manhas to leave the county, making some say that the county has a double standard, one for women and one, much more lax, for men? I believe that with one exception, everyone above Ms. Manhas in the county hierarchy -- every one of the suspects -- is female: her supervisor, the county attorney, the deputy county attorney, and the four commissioners. Mr. Cogen himself is the lone exception, leading to the Homeric conclusion that unless Mr. Cogen himself ordered her to lose her job, Ms. Manhas became the victim of a double standard applied not by the male establishment, but by other women.

I followed this morning's hearing at Multnomah County with great interest. The commissioners listened to public testimony on a resolution, introduced by Judy Shiprack, that calls on county chair Jeff Cogen to resign because of his affair with Sonia Manhas, a manager in the county's public health department. Ms. Manhas has resigned her position, saying that unnamed county officials forced her to quit. The commissioners voted 4 to 1 for the resolution, with Mr. Cogen understandably voting against it.
One argument that Mr. Cogen's detractors are making is that since the other person in the affair was forced to resign over this issue, in fairness Mr. Cogen should resign also. Let's assume that unnamed county officials in fact forced Ms. Manhas to resign. Consider the possibilities.
First, Ms. Manhas may have violated county policies so egregiously that she deserved to be fired. In that case the question should be whether Mr. Cogen also violated county policies so egregiously that he should resign. The public evidence so far indicates that he didn't.
Second, Ms. Manhas may not have violated county policies sufficiently to merit being fired. In that case the question the commissioners should be asking is not whether Mr. Cogen should resign, but who at the county unjustly pushed Ms. Manhas out. The number of suspects is limited: the five commissioners, Ms. Manhas's supervisor, and the county attorney. It strikes me as very odd that the county has not disclosed who decided to fire Ms. Manhas.
Third, it's possible that Ms. Manhas did not tell the truth when she said that county officials forced her to resign, but in that case the county would have promptly denied her statement and said that she resigned of her own free will and not under pressure from her employer. The county hasn't said so, so I rule this out.
Thus, it's wrong to say "Ms. Manhas had to leave, so Mr. Cogen should also," unless both of them violated county policy to the same egregious degree. If the other commissioners believe that Ms. Manhas was unjustly terminated, then they should find out who ordered her to leave. There's time enough to look into what Mr. Cogen did.

I think people were saving up their scandals waiting for Professor Bogdanski to start his blog sabbatical, including perhaps the one involving Multnomah County chair Jeff Cogen and county health department manager Sonia Manhas, who had a workplace affair that recently ended. It's a story with all the elements of the genre: rising political star, attractive employee, out-of-town trips, flirtatious e-mails, and so on. The crescendo of disclosures led the Oregonian to call on Monday for Mr. Cogen to resign.
Much as I'd instinctively like to join the chorus to "throw the rascal out," I've been searching through all of the smoke looking for the fire, and I haven't found it. The suspicion that their relationship brought Ms. Manhas preferential treatment doesn't so far have any facts behind it. Her push to work two days a week in his office was an idea that Mr. Cogen said he liked, but so far as has been reported, did nothing to bring about. The only county money he expended on their affair, at least as reported so far, is $50 on a hotel room upgrade in Atlanta. (At that modest rate, one Rudy Crew is worth dozens of Jeff Cogens.) Notably absent from the smokestorm is any allegation that Mr. Cogen and Ms. Manhas broke a law or a county policy.
Mr. Cogen and Ms. Manhas have brought shame on themselves and embarrassment to his wife, her husband, and their children. But merely being the object of derision is not, even in politically correct Portland, a firing offense. I'd like to see Mr. Cogen stay in his job and let the voters judge him in the next election based on his performance in the boardroom. I do predict that he won't be going to many out-of-state conferences between now and then.

Last week I wrote about the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Windsor, in which the Supreme Court held unconstitutional the provision of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that defined marriage as between one man and one woman. Justice Kennedy, writing for the court majority, decided the case on federalism grounds: the definition of marriage has traditionally been left to the states, some states have defined marriage to be between one man and one woman, others have defined marriage to be between two adults without regard to gender, and it isn't really the federal government's business to impose its own definition of marriage that disqualifies certain state-recognized marriages from being recognized by the federal government. In the particular case, two female New York residents were legally married in Canada. After DOMA was adopted, New York passed al law that recognized same-sex marriages that were legal where made as being legal in New York. One spouse died and left her estate to Windsor, the surviving spouse. Windsor claimed the marital estate tax deduction, the IRS denied the deduction based on DOMA, and the Supreme Court eventually held that the one-man-one-woman portion of DOMA was unconstitutional. Rights that New York chose to recognize, Justice Kennedy wrote, could not be taken away by the federal government.
The same day, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in Hollingsworth v. Perry, the Proposition 8 case from California. The voters of California passed the Proposition 8 initiative, basically a mini-DOMA that forbade same-sex marriage in California. A same-sex couple challenged the initiative. The state declined to defend Proposition 8, and a federal trial court held that Proposition 8 unconstitutionally discriminated against same-sex couples. The chief petitioners of Proposition 8 asked to intervene in the case, on the ground that the state wasn't defending their initiative. The California supreme court said that under California law, the chief petitioners of an initiative have standing to defend their ballot measure if the government won't, and allowed them into the case. The petitioners appealed the trial decision to the court of appeals, which affirmed the trial court and held that Proposition 8 was unconstitutional. The petitioners then appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court vacated (cancelled) the decision of the court of appeals, holding that because the chief petitioners, who didn't want to marry persons of the same sex, would be in the same position whether Proposition 8 is upheld or struck down, they had no standing to defend the measure. Even though California law (the court said) gives the petitioners special standing to defend their measure, the federal government doesn't have to recognize the special rights that the state court grants. This, of course, is contrary to the Court's decision of a few minutes earlier, in which it insisted that the federal government must recognize rights granted by the state on matters of state concern, such as marriage; apparently in the Supreme Court's view state legislation is not as important to the states as marriage is.
The kicker comes in the clever way that Chief Justice Roberts, writing for the Hollingsworth majority, disposed of the case. If he and the Court had affirmed the ruling of the court of appeals, then it would be the law of the land that Proposition 8, and by extension similar measures in other states, are unconstitutional: that is, states could not constitutionally prohibit same-sex marriage. He didn't do that; instead, he and the Court vacated the Ninth Circuit ruling on the ground that the petitioners didn't have standing to defend Proposition 8, and therefore the Ninth Circuit should not have heard their appeal. That means that the Ninth Circuit's ruling that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional is not the law any more. The decision of the trial court is still in place, I think, but that decision applies only to California and doesn't bind any other state or federal court. That's pretty clever.
But wait -- there's more. The really clever, or possibly diabolical, thing is what will happen if the case gets back to the California federal trial court. Unlike when it heard Hollingsworth v. Perry several years ago, that court is now bound by the Supreme Court's decision in Windsor, which holds that as a matter of constitutional law, the states can regulate marraige and decide who can get married. (The Windsor court majority very carefully did not say that states were required to recognize same-sex marriages.) The upshot? The Windsor court in effect said that Proposition 8 is constitutional, and the Hollingsworth court kept the California decision from preventing the other 49 states from banning same-sex marriage.
Chief Justice Roberts pulled off an amazing bit of legal legerdemain: the result of the two victories for proponents of same-sex marriage is that 49 states can now constitutionally ban it.

Yesterday the Supreme Court issued its decisions in two cases connected with same-sex marriage, one involving a challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act (the Clinton administration's law that defined marriage, for all federal purposes, as between one man and one woman), and the other involving California's Proposition 8, a voter-approved initiative that defined marriage in California as between one man and one woman. The results of both cases will go down as landmarks, but the opinions themselves suggest that the Justices would benefit from some graduate courses in constitutional law and legal writing.
The first case, United States v. Windsor (opinion here, in PDF), is a tax case. Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, both women and residents of New York, were married in Ontario, Canada in 2007, where same-sex marriage was legal. Ms. Spyer died in 2009 and left her entire estate to Ms. Windsor. Legacies to spouses are exempt from federal estate tax. Ms. Windsor paid $363,053 of estate tax and then sued for a refund, asserting that as Ms. Spyer's surviving spouse, the gift to her was exempt from the federal estate tax. The IRS asserted that under Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, Ms. Windsor had not been married to Ms. Spyer within the meaning of the estate tax laws, even if New York considered them to have been married. A trial court held Section 3 unconstitutional and ordered a refund. The United States appealed, sort of, and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the District Court. The United States appealed that decision to the Supreme Court, sort of (I say "sort of" because in its appeal the United States asked the Supreme Court not to reverse the Second Circuit, but to affirm the decision and hold that Section 3 of DOMA was unconstitutional.)
In his opinion for the Windsor majority, Justice Kennedy gives a good analysis of whether the Court can hear the case at all: is there a real case or controversy if the United States and Ms. Windsor are advocating the same position? When he gets to the merits of the case, he wanders afield from the legal principles, and loses track of time. For instance, he describes New York's marriage law as follows:
By its recognition of the validity of same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions and then by authorizing same-sex unions and same-sex marriages, New York sought to give further protection and dignity to that bond. For same-sex couples whowished to be married, the State acted to give their lawful conduct a lawful status. This status is a far-reaching legal acknowledgment of the intimate relationship between two people, a relationship deemed by the State worthy of dignity in the community equal with all other marriages.

This status is a far-reaching legal acknowledgment of the intimate relationship between two people, a relationship deemed by the State worthy of dignity in the community equal with all other marriages.
Justice Kennedy then continues:
DOMA seeks to injure the very class New York seeks to protect.

DOMA seeks to injure the very class New York seeks to protect. By doing so it violates basic due process and equal protection principles applicable to the Federal Government. * * * The avowed purpose and practical effect of the law here in question are to impose a disadvantage, a separate status, and so a stigma upon all who enter into same-sex marriages made lawful by the unquestioned authority of the States.
Justice Kennedy recognized earlier in his opinion, but forgot it here, that Congress passed DOMA before New York or any other state permitted same-sex marriage. That is, using his reasoning, DOMA sought to injure a class that didn't yet exist.
I predict that legal scholars will mostly celebrate the result of the Windsor case even as they tactfully gloss over the argument the Court used to get to that result. What saves Justice Kennedy's opinion from being considered bad (as a piece of legal writing) is that Justice Scalia's dissent is even worse. I'll have more to say about that in another post.

I welcome New York's approval of same-sex marriage for several reasons, one of which is my long-held (if slightly tongue-in-cheek) opposition to special rights. New York is taking away the privilege of gay couples to separate without judicial intervention; they'll now have to go through the divorce courts just like their heterosexual neighbors.

New York election, same-sex marriage
In the 1940s, De Beers recommended that the groom should spend two months of his salary on the ring for his betrothed. (De Beers, which controls much of the diamond industry, didn't discourage grooms from paying more.) Today De Beers is more circumspect, saying only that the groom should establish his budget based on his income and what he wants to spend. Meghan O'Rourke, writing in Slate in 2007, brought economics into the picture, and argued that the tradition of the man giving his fiancee an expensive ring as evidence of his commitment to marry her replaced her right to sue him for breach of promise of marriage. She made a Galbraith-style economic argument: lots of policy, but no equations.
Roger Staiger, a noted real estate consultant, lecturer at Georgetown University, and adjunct professor in the graduate school of Johns Hopkins University, has now introduced mathematics into the question. Writing in the current issue of Live Valuation, a magazine for the appraisal industry, Professor Staiger suggests treating the cost of the engagement ring as equivalent to payment for an option to enter into a transaction at a fixed future date, and then applying the Black-Scholes theory of option pricing to compare the price of the ring to the present value of the bride's expected future earnings. (Black-Scholes is the most common method of valuing options, and used by public corporations to assign values to their outstanding grants of stock options.) He used Jessie, one of his students, newly married to Tom, as an example. His surprising result: De Beers would recommend that Tom pay $18,300 for Jessie's engagement ring, but the Black-Scholes valuation method sets a fair economic value for the option to marry Jessie at $140,000. Tom got a bargain, and Jessie now has the evidence to prove it.

Our Man in New Mexico sends a story from today's Albuquerque Journal about two 18-year-olds who went to a nightclub and enjoyed lap dances for two hours each (82 dances between them), then were shocked to find out that each dance cost $30 and that their total bill was $2,460. They had $50 in cash and a $500 credit card limit, and couldn't pay. The club filed a complaint, and the local police arrested them on felony charges of obtaining services valued at over $250 on false pretenses.
Our M. in N.M. asks a number of legal questions, and some picturesque factual questions, about how this situation came to pass. The author of the news story, not being interested in the philosophical questions that engage our M. in N.M., simply says that the two youths should have paid more attention in math class. I noted that, based on the numbers in the news story, each dancer provided about one dance every three minutes, or 20 dances per hour, for a gross fee of about $600 per hour. (That's considerably more than what I charge for my time, but then I don't dance and I take longer than three minutes per customer.)
Then it struck me ("Oh, no," says Mrs. Laquedem). The Oregon pattern is to forbid immoral activity, then to grudgingly tolerate it (in the past with the help of la mordida), then to convert it into a source of revenue for the state,as with alcohol, racetrack betting, and video slots. ("Oh, no," says Mrs. Laquedem again, seeing where this is headed.) Consider: a person playing video poker at moderate speed might play 5 hands per minute, or 300 hands per hour. If each hand costs 25 cents, then the machine grosses $75 per hour. Out of this $75, perhaps $30 is paid back in prizes and some more in commissions to the landlord. Maybe the state makes $20 per hour per machine after paying its other costs.
When I worked out that the lap dancers of Albuquerque were grossing $600 per hour -- as much as eight video poker machines -- it occurred to me that the State of Oregon has at hand a potential revenue source which offers a number of social benefits at least equal to those provided by video poker. The Oregon supreme court has recognized that exotic dancing is a form of speech protected under the Oregon constitution, and the state could provide safe places in which this form of speech could be practiced, unlike the disreputable venues which currently serve as marketplaces for these ideas. The job creation would disproportionately benefit younger people with little work experience. And the revenue is not to be overlooked, as it could easily restore our public schools to full funding. Some cooperation between the regulators of this new revenue source and the Oregon Liquor Control Commission would increase alcohol sales and the concomitant state revenues.
Farfetched? The state has already made the decision to profit from the weaknesses of its citizens, whom it simultaneously protects and exploits. And collectively we're not willing to go back to honest taxation.

A meeting yesterday after work with Pablo (author of the worldwide pablo blog, one of my favorites) led to our engaging discussion about a number of topics, including in particular contrasts between how the Democrats and Republicans have pushed their views in Congress and in the state legislature, and the so-far fruitless efforts of Basic Rights Oregon and others to advance a civil unions bill in Oregon. (For background, please read Pablo's open letter to Roey Thorpe of Basic Rights Oregon criticizing BRO's strategy this session, and her response, also posted on his blog.) My sense is that they both dislike on principle obtaining civil rights for same-sex couples a little bit at a time, but that one is willing to accept and push for incremental gains, figuring that more can be obtained later, and the other favors an all-or-nothing approach: full equality now.
I compared this debate to how the Democratic and Republican parties treat their nominees. Nationally, Republicans who don't like their presidential nominee tend to support the candidate anyway, or at least to be quiet about not liking the guy. For example, in 1988 I rarely heard a conservative Republican say that he hoped Governor Dukakis would win because he didn't think Vice President Bush was truly conservative enough for his taste. The Republican stalwarts recognized that even if Mr. Bush didn't agree with them on many issues, philosophically he was a lot closer to them than Mr. Dukakis was, and they would vote for Mr. Bush. By contrast, I heard liberal Democrats say that because Mr. Dukakis wasn't in their camp on Issue X, they would rather see Mr. Bush win than have an imperfect Democrat in the Oval Office. (They got their wish.)
I think incrementalism is the better route. Gains once achieved are rarely taken away. And with the cause of civil unions and same-sex marriage apparently dead for this session, I offer a modest marketing suggestion to the proponents for the next session: instead of pitching civil unions as a step toward equality, fair treatment, and equal rights (values not historically associated with the State of Oregon; see the continuation below) for same-sex couples, advertise the disadvantages. Why should gay couples be able to dissolve their relationship without going to court, when straight married couples can't? It's not fair, the proponents could argue (with tongue firmly in cheek) for gays to be exempt from a burden imposed on straight couples. "No special rights!" the proponents could argue, twisting the opponents into knots. The proponents can't do any worse than they did this session, and -- who knows? -- they might pick up enough votes to get the measure through the 2007 session. After that, introduce bills to inflict on same-sex couples the other burdens of marriage, a few at a time. It's worth a try.

Aiming High · Working Together · Achieving Our Best
Our Shared Values
Respect · Caring · Honesty · Self-discipline · Tolerance · Team-work
Welcome to St Catherine's - We are a 3 – 11 Primary School, with its own Nursery and a specialist Centre for children with speech, language and communication needs, set in beautiful and extensive grounds.
We aim to provide an environment which is inclusive, caring and stimulating, with high expectations of achievement and behaviour, and where learners develop good self esteem and resilience. This enables them to become active partners in their own learning who take risks and learn from their mistakes. We encourage learners to ask questions and to learn how to solve problems and challenges. We aim to ensure that each learner reaches their full potential and to create an atmosphere where learning is fun by offering a rich, varied and meaningful curriculum.
We live in an ever changing world and we need to prepare our children for the future, enabling them to access lifelong learning. We continue to develop our understanding and use of new technologies; all of our classrooms, including the nursery, have data projectors and interactive white boards and a developing research centre, comprising the library and ICT suite.
Whilst the children's learning is our first priority, we also offer a wide range of extra curricular activities so that all children can achieve and shine in the field of their choice – music, sport or the arts – and we develop the children's emotional literacy and social skills through all that we do in school to enable them to become responsible and positive members of the society in which they live.
Working closely with parents and carers is an important facet of our work in enabling the success of our children. We believe that good communication is the key to an effective partnership, and we are always happy to meet you and discuss any concerns you may have.
We hope that this will be the start of a long and successful partnership between us, and we warmly welcome you and your child to our school family.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Stephanie Gibson
Head Teacher

Pro f essor Geor ge D. Cl yde ,
Logan , Utah.
My de ar Professor Cl yde :
I have been attempti ng f or some time to obtain
some defini t e informat ion r elative to the: flow of Li ttle
Bear since 1922 at or above t h e intake of , he Hyrum Irri -
gation Company headga te and the Wellsville headgate . The
reason I a m de sirous of obta1ni D8 this inf ormat ion 1s that ,
as you know, the Utah Power & Light decree which wa s
entered in February 1922 fixes prior righ ts on the stream
and also ad j udio a tes seoondaryrights . Beoause of th is
fact , when the f low of Little Bear reaohes a oertain mini-mum
the prior appropriator s are entitled t o shut off the
sec andary users ..
It is a strange thing , bu t so f ar I have been
unable to find where any measurements have been taken. It
appears t hat the lower water users simp ly deoide for them-s
elves t hat t he fIov! 1s less than the amount deoreed to
them and then prooeed to turh off the water.
I Vias in Salt Lake City a few days ago an d
visi ted the ge olog ioal survey and thought I had f ound what
I wanted . It appears , however , that thi s measuring devioe
is on the east f ork of Little Bear River, east of Avon , so
you see th is measures the water diverted by t he Par adise
Company bu t does not seem to measure the waters of Little
Be a r at ei of the points indioa ted .
I have an important case set f ar trial at Log an
on the 29th inst . involving t h is water . It may be that you
have made some measurements. If you have , I would certainly
apprec iate receipt of such informa tion as you may be able
t o g ive me at once. and if you can be of any assistance to
me I should greatly apprecia te having you as a witness on
that date .
As I reoall it, the adJudioated wa t er right s
prior in t i me to my olients amount to approxi ma tely 110
seoond feet . It is my desire to prove tha t t h e total flow
of Li ttle Bear River, exoluding the waters of the eas t fork .
have been less than that amount each and every year sinoe
2 .
February 1922 durin g at leas t the months of July , Augus t
and September. \'/i t h thi s idea in mi nd , you mi ght be able
to g i ve me s ome definite informa tion, or at least you may
know as a praotioal measurer of wa ter t hat suoh 1s the fact .
I would appre cia te hearing f rom you a t once .
Yours very truly ,

Dear Professor Clyde:
157 North state Street,
Salt '.Lake City, Utah,
March 12, . 1936.
I am still with the Power Co., but we are trying to
tinish the valuation work as soon as possible. Nobody
knows the exact amount of work remaining , but some think
it will require a month or more.
In the mean time I think it well to begin a new search
for employment. There is a possibility of getting transfer-ed
into the permanent work of the Co. I have been trying to
make such a transfer, but much depends upon an opening exist-ing
in the permanent work.
Upon the suggestion of Mr . Waltzing , who designs bridges
for the state highways, I made an application for an engineer's
license. I personally thought that a license was neither ne-gessary
or possible for me to obtain until I have had more
experience. However, I hope that no barm, will result from such
applioation--even tho the license may not be granted. I am
sending you a print of the picture I had taken for the application .
I will appreciate very much any advise or leads to further
employment .. lly place of residence may change after a
month, but mail sent to me at my uncle's address will be kept
tor me or forwarded to a new address. uncle's address
?59 Jeppson Avenue, Salt Lake City, Utah.
I hope that all is well with you and the engineering
class es this year.
Respectfully I remain,
JJ David Yo

The deadly stabbing happened at a downtown Mt. Pleasant apartment just before 4:30 Saturday morning.

Placement Testing for Transfer Students
Transfer students who do not transfer in credits for the Humanities/ English (HUM 101) or Mathematics (Pre-Calculus or Calculus-I) will be required to take a placement test. The English placement test is a computer based writing evaluation that assesses students' writing skills. Students submit two essays based on topics determined by the Humanities Department that will take approximately one (1) hour to complete. The mathematics placement test is a computer-based test that consists of three sections, Basic Algebra, Advance Algebra and Trigonometry, and it takes approximately two (2) hours to complete. The results of these tests will be used to determine your first semester course in Humanities/English and math.

It's tax-free weekend, a shopping extravaganza rivaled only by Black Friday in metro Atlanta. Shopping centers will go all out for the blockbuster convergence of back-to-school shoppers and bargain hunters July 30-Aug. 2.
"It's an adrenaline rush," said Holly Duffey, general manager of Tanger Outlet in Locust Grove.
Here's a guide to get you ready for the sales tax holiday.
What's in play:
To play the game, you have to know the rules. Simply, clothing and shoes must be priced at $100 or less. School supplies have to be $20 or less. Personal computers and accessories must come in at $1,500 or less. So, if you're thinking of making a big computer purchase, for instance, break up the cart to make sure you don't exceed the per purchase limit.
Have a shopping list:
Take inventory. Did your kid grow into a new shoe or pants size over the summer? What school supplies do you have left over and won't need to purchase again? What extras will you need with the computer? Can your kid live without the Transformers lunchbox?
"A lot of times parents buy things they don't need," said King Springs Elementary School teacher, Kristie Nixon. "Take Trapper Keepers; they always bring them to school and we don't need them. Being informed is your best weapon."
Do your homework:
You could easily save $80 or more on a computer purchase, but before you buy, do some research. Technology writer Bill Husted says spend time on cnet.com and consumerreports.org to find reliable products.
"Unless you already know a lot about computers, stick with brand names," Husted said. "While there are some terrific no-name bargains out there, it takes some skill to separate the good ones from the clunkers."
Buckhead's Best Buy operations manager, Michael Walter, tells consumers to have a budget.That store will open from midnight to 2 a.m. on Thursday to give shoppers a head start.
"An 8 percent savings on anything is a lot of money," he said. "If I can save a little bit, it's great.
What's in, what's out:
There are a few restrictions on tax-exempt items. No books except children's books, dictionaries and thesaurases. Video games, CDs and digital cameras are on the list of taxable items. Handbags and jewelry are also taxable. For a complete list of what's in and and what's out, visit the Georgia Department of Revenue website . Also, hold off on energy and water efficiency products, as another sales tax holiday will take place Oct. 1-4.
What's on sale:
Go through sales papers and websites to find coupons and deals. Then, combine the sales and the tax-free deal. The discounts are more than perception said Shelley Korenbrot, director of mall marketing at Gwinnett Place Mall.
"I wait every year for this, and I don't have kids," Korenbrot said. "Every dollar counts these days.The majority of stores will have amazing sales."
Be comfortable:
Travel light, wear comfortable shoes, carry some snacks and rest. It's a smart strategy.
"Come with patience and a lot of time," Korenbrot advises.

Georgia State Sales Tax Holiday detail…..
July 31st, 2009
2:09 pm
As a mom of a kindergarten student, I don't understand this tax "holiday". So, I get to go all hog-wild filling up my cart with cheap clothes made in China, the schools don't get a dime, and then I have to go out and buy $100 in school supplies.
AND you don't have to spend it on kids. Heck – you don't even have to have kids to participate. In fact, you don't even have to be a GA resident – so happy shoppers are coming in from other states. And how many of these retailers are even based in GA? The profits are going right back to Minnesota, or Arkansas, or NY or where ever. (I mean, please tell me Purdue is getting some kind of kick-back or campaign contributions – please tell me someone did the math, somewhere.)
20 years from now this will be looked back on as a total joke – just like GA's water "plan".
No thanks. I am sitting this one out – conscientous objector. (Fear not, retailers – you won't starve because of me. I'll do my shopping on Monday.)

PS: I saw fishing waders on the list of approved items. Must be Sonny's nod to Springfield, MO.
August 1st, 2009
9:06 am
Yep, waders are exempt. And what kid would want to go back to school without: lingerie, steel toed shoes, snow ski suits, a new shawl or wrap, or a brand new pair of garden gloves for that really chic look?
The idea sounded good when they passed the law…give us a tax break at 'back to school' time. But that list is downright ridiculous!
