When William Whitehair was a boy, he learned from his elders the importance of string games to the Navajo people.
"In the summer time, this is when the spiders play their string games and spin their webs," Whitehair recalled them saying. "In the winter time we spin our webs and tell stories."
Then, with a few careful flicks of his hands and fingers, he turned a white string threaded between them into a sky full of stars. He turned his hands again, transforming the string into a nest. He then created a lizard.
"This is how we teach our stories," said Julius Chavez, a Navajo weaver from the Navajo Reservation in Arizona.
Whitehair and Chavez are among a group of Navajo people spending part of this week teaching Salt Lake City and Park City students about their culture and traditions. They're in Park City as part of the Adopt-A-Native-Elder Program's 23rd Annual Navajo Rug Show and Sale at Deer Valley's Snow Park Lodge.
As part of the program, schools from across the country "adopt" Navajo elders, sending them money for food, medicine and firewood. And Navajo weavers visit Park City each year to sell their rugs and share their culture with those attending the show, including students on field trips.
The program serves 525 traditional Navajo elders.
"The program is very special to my people because this is where they get a lot of help," said Mary Robertson-Begay, of Big Mountain, Ariz., noting that elders on some parts of the reservation don't have electricity or running water. "I've seen my own parents benefit from this."
Plus, she said, they enjoy teaching kids about their culture, erasing misconceptions and misinformation.
"I just want people to know who we are," Robertson-Begay said, "and get first-hand experience learning from us instead of always having to rely on books."
In addition to learning about string games, students from several schools also learned about Navajo music, language and weaving Thursday.
Leo Holiday, of Monument Valley, showed students a basket he wove, explaining its construction out of sumac gathered from river banks and mountains. And Robertson-Begay described the way some Navajo women wear their hair, asking one of the Navajo "grandmothers" to stand with her back to the crowd. Another woman then undid her bun revealing wavy, grey hair that dropped to the back of her knees, eliciting "wows" from the kids.
"If you just let your hair down, that means your thoughts are all over the place," Robertson-Begay explained, "so to keep your thoughts together, you keep your hair tied up."
The elders then took turns tying students' hair into the same types of buns.
"I thought it would be cool to try," said Asinate Tapa'atoutai, a freshman at Salt Lake City's Academy for Math, Engineering and Science after having her hair done. "I didn't really know a lot [about the Navajo], but now I know more."
Students also got a chance to meet some of the "grandmothers" they've been helping over the years.
Students from Midway's Soldier Hollow Charter School presented several quilts and letters to their "grandmother," 76-year-old Katie Furcap, who gave them, in exchange, a small rug.
Furcap clutched the quilts, thanking the children in Navajo. Her daughter, Darlene Furcap, translated.
"She's very happy that she got the gifts from her students, her grandchildren," Darlene Furcap said. "She said, 'Thank you for remembering me to keep me warm for the winter.'"
Soldier Hollow third-grader Ellie Wright said afterward it was "a cool experience."
"You don't get to do that every single day," she said.

First Annual Father Daughter Dance
Renee Brown & Christopher Griffin of Pure Noire, LLC
Friday, June 28, 2013 from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM (EDT)
Let us recognize our fathers and give them some much needed appreciation and recognition for the jobs they do!
It's time to show your little girl how special she is, no matter how old she is!
Fathers, Uncles, Grandfathers, and Godfathers you are invited to spend an evening filled with laughter, dancing, music, light dinner and refreshments, photos and more!
Mission Statement:
Pure Noire Modeling Coterie (PNMC) strives to mentor and aide young women in discovering their inner and outer beauty by giving them the tools to approach life with poise, confidence, style and grace. PNMC will nurture young women and equip, empower, and educate them to grow mentally, physically, and socially to be able to function with their peers and become leaders of their own destinies.
Christopher Griffin, CEO, had the idea of starting a youth program for 5 years prior to the initial conception of PNMC. As a former LEAP Site Coordinator, Lead Tutor for New Haven Reads, and Transitional Coach for Youth Continuum, Chris has developed a love for youth and a passion for making change in his community. With 6 years of modeling under his belt and a vast number of fashion shows, Chris has gained experience and knowledge of the fashion industry. When the idea sparked for PNMC he realized that many young women and girls lacked self esteem and weren't being taught how to have style and grace. With the support of Co-Founder Renee Brown, COO, the dream was born. Renee has a bachelor's degree in English from Southern Connecticut State University and has an entrepreneurial spirit. The idea of starting a Modeling Organization for young girls seemed perfect for New Haven because this city doesn't have a program of this unique stature. Our young women are allowing the media to define beauty and they are emulating what they see, negative and positive images. She believes it's up to us to mentor them and help them find themselves. Renee has created many partnerships with people in the fashion industry through her work as a hairstylist and brings that exposure to the program. Renee is a mentor and role model for many young women who she has worked with through LEAP and at SCSU. She currently serves the community through her position as a Care Coordinator at the Clifford Beers Clinic. Christopher is currently employed at Children's Community Programs as a Youth Development Coach serving juvenile paroles ages 15-19.

McQuarrie and Kim Explore Differential Equation Models
Posted by Pengxeu Thao '15, Roseville on Tuesday, Jul. 1, 2014
Barry McQuarrie, associate professor of mathematics, is one of 11 University of Minnesota, Morris professors collaborating with students in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Undergraduate Summer Research Program. McQuarrie is advising Sae Sun Kim '15, Namyangju-si, South Korea, through research on differential equation models.
A key purpose of the project is to implement a method to fit a differential equation to a data set. The models resulting from their work aim to easily extract estimates of parameters from experimental data and be used across multiple disciplines.
The team has discovered a technique for its research and now needs to apply it to data. They plan to research and build a Chua circuit to demonstrate data and test different models. Kim will use Mathematica for coding and will present findings in LaTeX, a professional typesetting software that will render his work.
"These methods and programs are good for undergraduate research opportunities because they produce professional-looking results," says McQuarrie. "It's good technology for students to be proficient in."
Kim's involvement in the project not only ties in to his own academic interests, but also builds relevant skills at an early stage of his career. This valuable opportunity brings him both experiential benefits and interdisciplinary knowledge.
"This has been a great opportunity to get paid and get research experience," says Kim. "My time with this research lets me know what's going on in the world of mathematics and see its relationships with my own physics interests."
In September Kim will present his discoveries from this summer at an HHMI presentation. His work will build on McQuarrie's HHMI-funded research from this summer and the previous one.
The Undergraduate Summer Research Program is supported in part by a grant to the University of Minnesota, Morris from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute through the Precollege and Undergraduate Science Education Program. Additional information is available at morris.umn.edu/hhmi/.

Dogs in Sausalito - A few friendly reminders to assist you in avoiding a citation.
Sausalito is a very dog friendly city. Just look at all the businesses that put water bowls near their front doors and have treats available for our canine companions. However, this does not mean that everyone appreciates dogs, especially those with owners with bad manners and disregard for our City's laws.
Sausalito does have a leash law! It is against the city ordinance to allow a dog to run off leash in any public place except at a designated dog park.
We also have a clean-up-after-your-dog law. Dog owners or handlers are required to pick up after their dog on any public ground or private property not belonging to the owner or handler. It is a separate violation for dog owners or handlers to have their dogs in public, but not be in possession of a baggie or wrapper to pick up after their dog.
Dogs are allowed on leash in most City parks. There are a few exceptions. Dogs are prohibited from Cazneau Park playground, Harrison Park playground, Robin Sweeny Park enclosed children only playground, and Southview Park enclosed children only playground.
Here is some additional incentive to obey the dog related laws in Sausalito if being considerate of others is not enough. The violation citations are expensive!
For 2012, a violation of any of these infractions will cost you $80. ($15 base fine and $65 in penalty assessments & surcharges levied by the court)
For 2013, a violation of any of these infractions will cost you $162. ($35 base fine and $127 in penalty assessments & surcharges levied by the court)
So, remember to keep your dog on a leash, and clean up after your four-legged friend!
Reade Lane will be closed to through traffic on October 1, 2012 through October 5, 2012 from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm for construction of a public sanitary sewer line segment replacement job between 701/693 Bridgeway and 112/104 Bulkley Avenue on Reade Lane.
Residents at 100, 104, 112 Bulkley Avenue and 5, 7, and 10 Reade Lane should plan to leave with vehicles by 8:00 am and return after 5:00 pm. The contractor, Hardiman Construction's Trenchless Titan, will make every reasonable effort to accommodate residents leaving after 8:00 am or returning home prior to 5:00 pm; however, residents should expect significant delays when doing so.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Sewer Coordinator Pat Guasco at (415) 289-4192 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com

At the City Council meeting Tuesday the 25th of September, Jim Swindler, Deputy General Manager of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District's Ferry Division updated Council and the community on a project to replace the passenger access ramps, vessel docking float, and ferry vessel boarding gangways at the ferry landing to improve access for ferry passengers traveling to and from Sausalito. The project includes two key segments of work: (1) conducting the required environmental studies, and (2) the design, engineering, and construction of passenger access ramps, vessel docking float, and passenger gangways used for loading/unloading. The project will enhance passenger safety by providing improved loading/offloading operations for passengers and bicyclists, as well as improved accessibility for persons with disabilities. Access to the vessels, will be easier, faster, and safer for all ferry users.
Mr. Swindler also advised the Council and community on the recent award of a $2.4 million grant the District received to fund landside improvements in Sausalito. While conceptual masterplans for those improvements have been prepared and reviewed in the past, the City and the District expect to retain a design consultant using the grant funds to prepare and seek community input on several alternatives prior to recommending a project to the Council. A Council-approved project would then require Planning Commission, potentially Historic Landmarks Board, and Bay Conservation and Development Commission approval before construction can occur. Questions regarding these significant public enhancement projects can be directed to Jonathon Goldman, Director of Public Works at 415-289-4176 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District (GGBHTD) is planning to replace the existing passenger boarding system at the Golden Gate Sausalito Ferry Terminal at Anchor Street and Tracy Way in Sausalito, CA with a new boarding system.
The new boarding system will improve operations by providing a wider, more modern facility with reduced gangway slopes and float platforms for easier boarding and unloading of all passengers, including bicyclists and persons with disabilities, during all tide conditions. The new vessel boarding system will not change the current passenger capacity in the Golden Gate Sausalito Ferry Terminal landing area.
To maintain regularly scheduled ferry service for both Golden Gate and Blue and Gold Fleet during construction, a temporary ferry vessel boarding configuration will be used for about is six months. Trenching will occur for a distance of approximately 30 feet, to extend utilities to the new facilities. There is no dredging is associated with the construction.
The GGBHTD is serving as the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and intends to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project. An Initial Study has been prepared for the proposed project. The Initial Study identified potentially significant impacts associated with the project related to air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, and noise. Each of these impacts would be mitigated to less-than-significant levels with implementation of the identified mitigation measures, which are included as part of the project.

DOWNEY — Officials have not yet released the names of the three people killed in a shooting rampage Wednesday in Downey, and the suspected shooter is still at large.
Los Angeles County Coroner's officials did say this morning that the victims included a Hispanic man in his 20s and two Hispanic women in their 30s.
A property record search showed the residence where the second shooting occurred was owned by Susana Perez, and a sign in front of the house this morning read: "RIP Susana. A great mother."
Other names affiliated with the residence on property records include Cesar S. Garcia and Antonio Salinas. Police are trying to locate at least one resident in Mexico, officials said.
Officials still say all three victims — and two others who were shot and are in critical but stable condition — are related, though a woman claiming to be the sister of one victim said in news reports this morning she isn't related to the others.
Those shot but not killed included a 13-year-old boy and a woman. They are expected to survive their injuries.
The motive for the killing is still not known. Gunfire erupted at about 11 a.m. Wednesday at United States Fire Protection Services, 8722 Cleta St., just off Lakewood Boulevard; a second 911 call was received minutes later at a nearby duplex where the family lived.
Two of the dead were shot at the business, the third was shot at the house.
Sources told the Press-Telegram that the suspect kidnapped two of the victims at the business and took them to the residence in the family's vehicle, after which two more family members were shot. Lt. Dean Milligan of the Downey Police Department confirmed police were investigating this as a likely scenario.
Police confirmed Wednesday that a woman and teenager were originally at United States Fire Prevention, but somehow got to the home in the Black 2010 Camaro before being shot. Milligan couldn't confirm if they drove themselves or were kidnapped by the suspect, but said there was no forced entry at either location.
The crime scene this morning at both the business and the residence was quiet. Police tape that had roped off the area Wednesday afternoon was gone, and no police were at either location.
Suzanne Blevins, 40, a business owner and lifelong resident of Downey, showed up this morning and placed florwers near the home. She said that the two women who were killed were both mothers, and that they had six children between them.
"This is absolutely tragic," she said. "We now have six kids without moms."
A prominent rumor circulating among neighbors and students at nearby Downey High School — which went on lockdown yesterday after the shooting began — was that one of the victims was a manager at the Coca Cola plant across the street from the family's business, and that the shooter was a disgruntled employee.
However, a spokeswoman with Coca Cola said Thursday afternoon that this wasn't true and the company had no connection to the shooting.
"All of our folks are accounted for," she said.
Police supervisors would not confirm that this morning. Milligan, who addressed media Wednesday in two press conferences, couldn't be reached for comment.
Milligan said yesterday that officials "do not believe this was a random attack," but wouldn't speculate on a motive.
Police are scouring surveillance video today from surrounding businesses, trying to figure out what happened and locate the shooter.
Witnesses and neighbors described a chaotic scene shortly after hearing gunfire, including seeing a young boy screaming for help in the street. Other witnesses reported seeing a woman bleeding from her head, sitting on the sidewalk.
Police said the suspect fled in the family's 2010 Black Chevy Camaro, which was registered to one of the victims, officials said. The license plate number is 6 LEA010.
The suspect was described by one of the victims as a black man who is 6 feet tall, about 230 pounds and 30 years old, police said. He is armed and should be considered dangerous, officials said.
A neighbor two houses to the east of the family duplex said she heard two gunshots Wednesday, but "it didn't phase me." She said the mother and father and their four kids — three boys, including the 13-year-old, and a girl — live in the back house at 8520 Cleta St., and the father's parents live in the front.
Another neighbor who didn't want to give his name said Wednesday that the 13-year-old boy came out running and yelling "please help me, my mother's shot in the head."
The neighbor added that "she was a great mother. It was a great family. This was a tragedy."
A man sitting in a jeep across the street in front of his son and daughter-in-law's house had tears in his eyes, saying he was scared for the safety of his family.
"I'm not going to leave until (the suspect) is caught and I know that my son and his family are safe," he said.
On Thursday, Dean Wright, who owns the septic supply business next door to United States Fire Prevention, said he didn't hear gunfire on Wednesday, but the sound of someone yelling.
When he looked outside his door, he saw police officers with guns drawn surrounding the building.
Wright identified one of the owners as Robert, and said he told police that the man's mother had been shot in the face, and that the secretary, presumably Susana Perez, was dead. Wright added that at the family's home, the gunman shot and killed the wife of a brother in the family and injured the teenage boy.
Wright said he didn't know the identity of the fifth victim, but police said a man was also killed at the business. He did say that the two dead women each had children, six total between the two.
"So now there are six children without mothers because of this idiot," Wright said. "It makes me just want to throw up."
Wright, who has owned his home for 40 years, said the area is "relatively safe," but added that United States Fire Prevention did have a robbery "a few years ago."
"I've never seen nor heard of anything close to this," he said. "I was driving to work this morning and thanking the good Lord for how much I love coming to work."
On Thursday afternoon a woman with her mother and two small girls visited the crime scene at the business. The woman sobbed as the two small children, expressionless, held hands. The woman, who wouldn't give her name, said her daughter's father was the man killed in the rampage Wednesday.
"My daughter doesn't have a father," she said, crying. "I don't even know what to say — to you, to my little girl, to anyone."
After pausing in an attempt to control her emotions, the women cried "no, no, no."

This is one of the grand causes of the success of Jesuitism in this country.
But the vital force of Jesuitism had suffered no diminution.
There is apt to be a spirit of Jesuitism in all men consumed with zeal, determined on success.
Cavour sought him, and asked him to reveal the secrets of Jesuitism.
There was a Jesuitism in this speech, which did not recommend it or its speaker to the Contessa Violante.
The "Account of the Conscience" is of the very essence of Jesuitism.
"I prevent the progress of Jesuitism and Idolatry," he said to himself.
Suppose they even succeeded in suppressing Jesuitism altogether in that country, what then?
The emotional element in Jesuitism appealed strongly to women.
But this is Jesuitism seeking to relieve itself of the painful obligation of loving God.

The first of the fee-free days on federal lands in the United States in 2013 is Jan. 21 on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The National Park Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service will all waive fees associated with entry into areas typically requiring a payment to enter.
"Our national parks, national wildlife refuges, national forests and other public lands offer every American a place to enjoy outdoor recreation, learn about our nation's history and culture, and restore our souls and spirits by connecting with the natural beauty and wildness of our land," Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar said in a statement. "By providing free admission, we are putting out an invitation to all Americans to visit and enjoy these extraordinary treasures that belong to all our people."
Other fee-free dates in 2013 are April 22-26 for National Park Week, June 8 for Great Outdoors Day, Aug. 25 for the National Park Service's birthday, Sept. 28 for National Public Lands Day, Oct. 13 for National Wildlife Refuge Week and Nov. 9-11 for Veterans Day weekend.
Not all agencies participate in each of the dates, and the fee waiver does not cover services within the park such as camping, transportation and tours.
"America's great outdoors should be experienced by everyone," said Salazar. "Our fantastic network of public lands provides world-class recreational opportunities, the chance to view abundant wildlife in natural habitats, sites that showcase our nation's rich and diverse history, and some of the most incredible scenery found anyway. The fee-free days will give both first-time and repeat visitors a good reason to spend time in these extraordinary places."

Look for an arrangement by Ralph Ford. It's probably a Warner Bros. chart.

Conveniently at least metaphorically two of Romney's secret campaign strategies intersect at this juncture in his campaign.
Both strategies are not evident and are more like secret goals ... the White Horse Prophecy .. whereby Romney as the unofficial head of his church is elected and moves America towards becoming a theocracy. The history of this prophecy is embedded in the Mormon church and well documented. Romney himself has been designated as the chosen one by the leaders of his church.
To this very day there is no evidence to suggest that the goals of the white horse prophecy are not intact within the Mormon church.
Romney is the De Facto leader of his church due to his prominence and influence.
Then we have the the Gish Gallop which was on full display at the first Presidential debate.
However, how many debate watchers are going to accept that Romney used such a ploy? or even grasp what the Gish Gallop is?
For one thing most of his supporters believe anything he says in the first place!
When the truth makes it appear as though a large number of peeps are stupid they look at each other and say naaahhhhh!
This is the reaction the GOP depends upon when it tramples over the truth and convinces their supporters using lies. It is human nature for us to place beliefs above facts. Religion is a good example.
However more and more educated humans do not embrace religion but science instead. In america we believe in science much more so than the masses in third world emerging nations.
Many third world leaders depend on religion to placate and distract the masses. Prayer is a substitute for many things, as is hope.
Even in america to a lessor degree religion is used to manipulate and placate the masses.
One of the goals of the GOP is to inject religion into our lives and make the constitution a bible.
Other goals of the GOP include white male supremacy which is why Romney and his church have been embraced by the white male GOP power brokers.
America is in the throws of a struggle much like that of South Africa past .... and huber wealthy white males are attempting to control OUR nation.

|Information for:
|Campus Communicators
The Iron Bowl is next month, but Auburn University and the University of Alabama are already in rivalry mode as the two schools collect non-perishable food to stock local food banks.
Now in its 20th year, the Beat Bama Food Drive unites students, faculty, alumni and community members to help fight hunger and poverty in the state.
The good-natured competition reaches far beyond the campuses.
"This is the largest food drive for us and one of the largest drives in the state of Alabama," said Martha Henk, executive director of the Food Bank of East Alabama. "It's not an exaggeration to say that the results of this drive determine whether some families have meals for Thanksgiving, Christmas and on into the new year. It has that dramatic of an impact."
The six-week competition runs until Nov. 25 and includes a number of events: benefit nights at Chill Yogurt, Gigi's Cupcakes and TCBY; 5K and Night Bike at Chewacla State Park; and a silent auction. Eighteen barrels are located on- and off-campus to collect non-perishable items, and donors are asked to contribute $20 to commemorate the 20th anniversary.
Auburn, the reigning champion, has beaten Alabama 11 years of the past 19. Last fall, Auburn raised the highest amount either school has collected to date, 273,650 pounds of food. Auburn's goal this year is to raise 350,000 pounds, approximately one month of operation for the Food Bank of East Alabama.
"The incredible aspect of this is that there are no losers," said Leanna Barker, president of the Beat Bama Food Drive. "Everyone truly benefits as we are able to provide food for thousands of individuals."
Tim King, advisor for the Center for Community Service at Auburn, said that while the target is ambitious, knowing the number of mouths that will be fed keeps participants motivated.
"The food bank is in a deficit and we want to do everything we can to reach our goal," King said.
Henk, who became executive director of the Food Bank of East Alabama a year after the challenge originated, said it has been incredible to watch it grow.
"We started out raising 500 meals, and today more than 1.2 million meals have been provided from this food drive," Henk said.
While the event is student-driven, it is not solely for the universities. The community supports the cause by creating local competitions between schools and businesses.
"The main goal for both Auburn and Alabama is that we are educating our students, faculty, staff, community and fans nationwide on the huge issue of food insecurity and how they can help," said King. "There are 22,130 people in Lee County facing this issue and it is our duty in the Auburn Family to do what we can to help our neighbors."

SOS Adoptable of the Day: Snowbell!
Breed: Poodle - Chihuahua (mix)
Gender: Female
Altered: Yes
Ref. no.: 111013
Snowbell is a tiny, little thing, weighing in at approximately 14 pounds. But boy does she have a big personality! She has only been with us a few days and she is already starting to shine. Snowbell was surrendered by her previous owners, so I do have some background information on her. She turned 9 this September and is a Chihuahua/Poodle mix. She is considered a Senior canine, but when you interact with her, you'd never guess she is 9 years old. She has the softest, fuzziest coat, with the tiniest hint of curls about her face and ears. The curls and her delicate face give her the appearance of a little pup. She loves to snuggle with her people, but she is also a fan of playing fetch with small, soft, squeaky toys. She also loves to go for walks and knows the meaning of the word, so unless you intend on taking her for a stroll, your best bet is to spell it out! Snowbell has exhibited great "potty" skills and has yet to have an accident in the house, so there hasn't been a need to crate her. She gets along great with our other small dogs, but was initially intimidated by the resident cats. Now that they've had the chance to sniff each other out, she doesn't pay them any mind. She has yet to be tested around small children, but like many small dogs, she is particular about how/when she is picked up, so she may be best suited for a home with no children, or at least older children that can take direction. Snowbell is the complete package---she's still energetic, she's cute as a button, AND she's housebroken! Snowbell loves to wear sweaters, so if you're looking for a snuggly, walking buddy with a bit of fashionista flair, then this may be the dog for you! Her senior adoption fee is only $100. To apply for adoption, please fill out an on-line application at www.saveohiostrays.org. Save Ohio Strays does NOT claim or guarantee any breeds given in this description. SOS NEVER ships pets and will not adopt out to a driving radius greater than 3 hours from Medina, Ohio.To read more or comment...

Percutaneous (through the skin) urinary procedures help drain urine from your bladder and get rid of kidney stones.
Percutaneous nephrostomy; Percutaneous nephrostolithotomy; PCNL; Nephrolithotomy
A percutaneous nephrostomy is the placement of a small, flexible rubber catheter (tube) through your skin into your kidney to drain your urine.
Percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (or nephrolithotomy) is the passing of a special medical instrument through your skin into your kidney. This is done to get rid of kidney stones.
Most stones pass out of the body on their own through urine. When they do not, your doctor may recommend these procedures.
During the procedure, you lie on your stomach on a table. You are given a shot of lidocaine. This is the same medicine your dentist uses to numb your mouth. The doctor or nurse may give you medicines to help you relax and reduce pain.
If you have nephrostomy only:
If you have percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (or nephrolithotomy):
The place where the nephrostomy catheter was inserted is covered with a dressing. The catheter itself is connected to a drainage bag.
Reasons to have a percutaneous nephrostomy or nephrostolithotomy are:
Percutaneous nephrostomy and nephrostolithotomy are generally safe. Ask your doctor about these possible complications:
Tell your doctor or nurse:
On the day of the surgery:
You are taken to the recovery room. You may be able to eat soon if you do not have an upset stomach.
You may be able to go home within 24 hours. If there are problems, your doctor may keep you in the hospital longer.
The doctor will take out the tubes if x-rays show that the kidney stones are gone and your kidney has healed. If stones are still there, you may have the same procedure again soon.
Percutaneous nephrostolithotomy or nephrolithotomy almost always help ease the symptoms of kidney stones. Often, the doctor is able to get rid of your kidney stones completely. Sometimes you need to have other procedures to get rid of the stones.
Most people who are treated for kidney stones need to make lifestyle changes so that their bodies do not make new kidney stones. These changes include avoiding certain foods and not taking certain vitamins. Some people also have to take medicines to keep new stones from forming.

Eye Trax's remote-monitoring security cameras incorporate solar technology with cellular communication, enabling customers to monitor remote construction sites or equipment yards anywhere cellular service is available without the costly expense of trying to provide power and an internet connection to those areas. "The need for remote security monitoring on construction sites is greater than ever, yet many contractors continue to struggle with finding the right method or equipment to successfully protect their investments," says Jerry McSorley, president, Eye Trax.
The cameras use the available cellular network in order to transmit pictures, eliminating the need for the infrastructure of a computer, phone line, internet connection, router, and power which is required for the traditional wireless cameras. Eye Trax wireless, solar-powered construction cameras make remote area surveillance an inexpensive reality.
According to McSorley, most construction cameras on the market today are either modified hunting cameras or high-end, time-lapse video cameras that don't offer motion-sensing technology. Eye Trax's cellular-based construction camera is indefinitely powered by a solar panel, triggered by motion, night-vision capabilities, and controlled by a web-based User Interface or Mobile Phone App. These features, and all the traditional features of a time-lapse video camera, are incorporated into the design.
Eye Trax's solar-powered wireless motion activated camera system utilizes an integrated passive infrared sensor that measure changes in thermal activity in the camera viewing area. A passive infrared sensor (PIR) creates an invisible thermal grid in front of the construction camera viewing area. Once this thermal grid is disturbed with an introduction of a new thermal profile, the construction camera will trigger and in less than half of a second and start taking pictures. "Typically a human, vehicle or large animal will cause the motion activated camera to trigger," says McSorley. "This process of triggering the motion detection camera is considered an 'event.'" All events captured by the motion-activated construction camera are time and location stamped and then immediately sent over the secure cellular network to the Eye Trax cloud based servers with a location, time and date located on the pictures. Eye Trax's construction camera system offers an option to receive event notifications on any mobile phone via SMS message or email. The SMS pictures or email from the construction camera can be received 24/7.
The Eye Trax construction camera is powered by a very small, lightweight solar panel (14 in x 14 in) — it only requires 12V in order to operate. An internal battery, located inside the aluminum housing of the system, will allow the camera to operate for a full five days in the event of inclement weather. The camera is optimized to provide a 90-degree field of view and is designed with two lenses: One for daytime color pictures and the other for black and white nighttime pictures. The camera lenses are surrounded by 55 infrared lamps that will illuminate an area up to 75-ft away from the camera face. The unit can operate in a temperature range of -10°F to 140°F.
The mounting bracket for the Eye Trax unit is fully orbital and can be attached to any surface. The operator can choose from using zip ties to stainless steel screws to mount the unit.
This mounting option is available for quick installation and removal without digging a hole or hiring a 3rd party. When the Eye Trax's barrel mounting pole system weighs only 25 lb when it is empty, which means anyone can pick it up and easily move it to a different location. When it is filled with water, it weighs nearly 500 lb, making it difficult to be moved or disturbed by inclement weather. The Barrel Mounting Pole system can be filled with water through the top of the barrel with a garden hose and emptied out through the bottom through the spigot. This application is used on construction sites where a construction camera is needed in one location for a temporary basis.
Eye Trax's new patent-pending Barrel Mounting Pole will be on display for the first time at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2014.The company's exhibit will be at Platinum Lot, Booth 8502, of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

IN the awful shooting death of Kendrec McDade up at Orange Grove and Summit Avenue, I'm on the side of the kid running for his life, the kid without a gun.
I know there is another side to the story. Those of us who have written editorials for decades are all too aware of there being on the one hand this, on the other hand that. We can therefore be almost overly even-handed in our views of politics and everything else.
But thinking for myself, going with my gut, I'm not giving in to the establishment excuses about law enforcement being trained to do what it's got to do. Or even responding to statistics about how things are getting better, being-shot-by-cops wise.
I think too many young people who don't have guns are being killed by police officers who do.
I think that when people have "weapons" that aren't guns, the scenario is different. When that tiny woman with a hammer was shot dead by police in the Rosemead mental clinic - I think that was wrong. When that young man breaking windows with a 3-foot metal bar at a Monterey Park Carl's Jr. was shot dead by police - I think that was wrong.
My thinking goes against police training, I know. Death does not arrive by bullet alone. Officers are subject to lethal and even random violence every minute they are on duty, every day of their careers. I'm just saying that training can be wrong. It is not the received wisdom of the universe - it's just the way things are done by an increasingly insider profession. It needs some rethinking. Some views from outside the bubble.
I'm not suddenly - nor was I ever - anti-cop. A good friend I grew up with, the late Kevin White, became a Pasadena police commander. My brother-in-law is a retired career sergeant, and a wonderful scholar of Gandhi's nonviolent philosophy.
In this case, as well as my feelings for young Kendrec McDade and his family and friends, I feel for the officers who were probably just following their training. I even feel for the 9-1-1 caller Oscar Carrillo, who authorities say is an illegal immigrant - my guess would be that, if he was indeed victimized before the incident, that he probably figured saying the suspects were armed - both of them had guns, he eventually told the operator - would increase the chances of police responding to the incident in a timely manner.
So my feelings are all out there. I am Mr. Empathy.
I just don't think being nutty and carrying a ball-peen means you ought to end up shot dead. I don't think being angry and smashing car windows means you ought to go down in a hail of bullets. I don't think - if McDade was indeed a burglar - means he ought to have been shot dead. Alternative scenario: I don't think that being young, and black, while running from officers - even if you are "reaching for your waistband" - means you ought to be shot and killed by them.
I am by definition no expert in these things. That's what I'm saying: I think the insider experts have created a "training" paradigm that ends up making too many innocent people dead. I think there's a way of conduct that would keep our police just as safe and civilians safer.
Add absolute transparency, and a complete lack of institutional defensiveness. We could call it the new Pasadena Way.

Barnes steps up, continues to impress
Red Sox first-round pick fans season-high 12 over six innings
By Sam Dykstra / Special to MLB.com | May 5, 2012 7:52 PM ET
Boston's No. 13 prospect struck out a season-high 12 and allowed one run on four hits over six innings Saturday as the Red Sox held on for a 6-4 victory over the Winston-Salem Dash.
Barnes (1-0) allowed a single Marcus Semien leading off the bottom of the first, then calmed down and recorded seven consecutive outs. The former University of Connecticut standout acknowledged that he wasn't particularly nervous for his first game at a new level.
"I would say it was more excitement than anything," Barnes said. "It's always great to move up a level; that's what we all want to do if we're going to reach the Majors. Everyone wants to move up. I'm happy that it came so soon. But at the end of the day, it's still the game of baseball."
Barnes struck out five of six batters, including four straight, over the fourth and fifth innings. He gave up a double to Juan Silverio and an RBI single to Semien in the sixth but fanned the final two batters he faced.
The 21-year-old right-hander never struck out more than nine batters in five South Atlantic League starts. But he leads the Minors with 54 punchouts in 32 2/3 innings and is second across all levels with a 0.55 ERA. As impressive as his strikeout total may be, the 2011 Big East Conference Pitcher of the Year takes more pride in the latter statistic.
"[Strikeouts] are nice to have. But for me, they don't matter all that much," Barnes explained. "As long as I'm putting up zeros, that's all I care about. Of course, it's good to know that I can get a strikeout if I need one in a certain situation. But I'd rather focus on other things."
Barnes' next start could come Thursday at home against Potomac or Friday at Myrtle Beach, depending on how Salem decides to handle a scheduled off day early in the week.
"I hadn't talked to any of the guys, really, about any of the differences [between the South Atlantic and Carolina leagues], but just from pitching today, you can already see these hitters are more advanced," Barnes said. "They'll make you work for your pitches, so it's something I'll have to work on."
Red Sox No. 19 prospect Jackie Bradley walked three times and scored twice out of the leadoff spot. His .488 on-base percentage is tops in the Minors.
Winston-Salem starter Ryan Buch (2-2) allowed four earned runs on four hits and three walks over three innings.

What I Did This Summer: Conduct whale research
"What I Did This Summer" follows a number of University of South Carolina students this summer as they work, travel, and explore the world. Many of them are blogging about their adventures. This is the ninth story in the series.
Very early one morning this summer, Patrick Boyle stood on a Delaware beach and watched a lifeless North American right whale being towed to shore.
Boyle wasn't alone: some 25 to 30 scientists were watching, too.
Patrick Boyle
"It was a rare event, pretty exciting," said Boyle, a marine science sophomore from Annapolis, Maryland. He is a summer intern with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle Stranding Network.
"You usually don't get to see right whales because they are endangered -- only about 400 still exist -- and getting to examine and study one is even rarer.
"This whale was over 45 feet long and weighed 60,000 pounds," he said. "It was towed to shore so that scientists could determine cause of death and collect skin, flesh, and organ samples to test for chemicals, toxins, disease, worms, and other harmful elements.
Right whale
"At first, it kind of looked gruesome," he admitted. "But we wanted to figure out how this critically endangered animal died. We wanted to see if it was diseased, and we wanted to learn what it ate and how its organs developed. We know a lot of that information already, but there is always new information to get from a whale, or really any organism. Once we started taking samples and removing the meat from the bones, we forgot about what it looked like."
In addition to assisting with the whale research, Boyle has worked on a project to capture and test Maryland's population of Canadian geese for the West Nile virus across the state and participated in a necropsy on an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin.
"After I graduate, I want to keep working in marine science and conservation, but I haven't decided on a specific area yet, maybe coral reefs or marine biology," he said. "The oceans are so pretty. We don't want that stuff to go away."

text: these were ordered this summer on the tour -- my third commission. the estimated delivery was late oct early nov so it surprised me to see the box outside the door. Very well done. The roll is indeed sweet; did you get it pressed after receipt? I was told the same ETA; have yet to receive my package though. For what it is worth, as I don't have a photographer around, a crappy photograph of my first Chan order, a H&S Crispaire Navy Blazer. On my next order (likely a charcoal suit), I will ask for a slightly longer jacket, with a slightly lower buttoning point probably. Came out well. A longer jacket may work better and you may also consider opening the quarters more (but both are clearly personal preferences).

Beautiful Minds: 10 Inspiring, Always-Stylish Women
Fifty Shades of Grey
by E.L. James
Released in May 2011 by an obscure publisher in Australia, Fifty Shades of Grey made headlines as the first erotic e-book phenomenon. The novel—which began as Twilight fan fiction and centers around a BDSM relationship between college student Anastasia Steele and billionaire tycoon Christian Grey—developed a tremendous word-of-mouth following among women. But what truly ignited sales, the Wall Street Journal noted, that the book's small print run made buying it digitally a necessity. Beyond that, e-readers gave people a veil of privacy. (In other words, no one could judge your book choice by its cover.) Now No. 1. on the New York Times combined Print & E-book Best Seller List, James' steamy novel—and the two other books in the trilogy—were recently purchased by Vintage Books for seven figures and will be widely available in print next month.
Fear of Flying
by Erica Jong
First published in 1973, Fear of Flying by Erica Jong introduced the world to the "zipless fuck"—a no-strings-attached sexual encounter between two strangers. "It is rarer than the unicorn," Jong's narrator, Isadora Wing, declares. "And I have never had one." A semiautobiographical novel about an unhappy housewife who gives in to her fantasies while on a trip to Vienna, Jong's book became integral to second-wave feminism and has sold more than 12 million copies worldwide. And nearly 40 years after its publication, Jong's once-shocking novel seems relatively tame. "Now the girls of my daughter's generation have size 12 feet and booming voices," the author admitted in a 2006 interview. "They read my books and think, Why did my mother hide this from me? It's not that raunchy at all."

Class Action Suit Airs Intel and Microsoft's Vista Dirty Laundry
Jason Mick
February 29, 2008 1:07 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The little sticker that is causing a world of trouble for Microsoft and Intel.
(Source: DailyTech)
Microsoft executive -- "We set ourselves up"
One of the most iconic images of Microsoft's Windows Vista launch in January 2007 was the small "Windows Vista Capable" stickers on computers months before, reassuring customers that when the new operating system came out, their computers could be updated to the latest and greatest. Unfortunately for the consumer it appears that the capabilities that these stickers promised were intentionally exaggerated to benefit Microsoft and chipmaker Intel.
A class action suit filed against Microsoft in April 2007
accused Microsoft of intentionally misleading
consumers with the stickers, claiming the "Vista Capable" logos on computers that were anything but. The suit centered around several key points, among which was that the computers sold could not run Windows Vista's more impressive features such as the Aero user interface, and were left with only a bare-bones skeleton of Vista. The suit
forced Microsoft to redefine
its definition of what exactly "Vista Capable" meant, which included Microsoft's addition of a disclaimer that some of the PCs bearing the sticker could not run significant Vista features such as Aero.
Meanwhile, the legal case proceeded forward. Armed with internal emails obtained from Microsoft, the plaintiffs,
represented by high-power attorney Jeffrey Tilden of Gordon Tilden Thomas & Cordell,
took their case before a U.S. District Judge in order to gain class action status
. In a significant victory for the plaintiffs
U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman
granted the case class action status
, with the primary focus being to determine whether Microsoft intentionally deceived consumers to sell PCs. The judge also opened the door for the suit to also encompass gripes about the lack of Aero if the plaintiffs found another named plaintiff who bough Vista but was unable to run Aero.
Now in the aftermath of the ruling, the Judge Pechman
unsealed 158 pages of Microsoft corporate emails
(PDF) that paint a picture Microsoft would rather not have the public see.
Some of these emails featured Microsoft employees candidly describing the program with, "
Even a piece of junk will qualify" for "Vista Capable" designation. The now famous email from
Mike Nash, currently a corporate vice president for Windows product management, states, "
I PERSONALLY got burnt ... Are we seeing this from a lot of customers? ... I now have a $2,100 e-mail machine."
Less dramatic, but equally damaging was the email from
Jim Allchin, then the co-president of Microsoft's Platforms and Services Division, stating grimly, "
We really botched this ... You guys have to do a better job with our customers."
The most interesting emails though, turn out to be the new ones. While a number of key portions of several emails were redacted, the parts that remain paint a picture of intentional deception that Microsoft virtually admitted to in the internal emails.
In the emails Microsoft executives discuss how the
Intel 915 Chipset
was to initially be deemed incompatible Windows Vista. The policy was abruptly reversed. Says one of the executives in charge of the decision, "
In the end, we lowered the requirements to help Intel make their quarterly earnings so they could continue to sell motherboards with the 915 graphics embedded. We are caving to Intel. We worked the last 18 months to drive the [user interface] experience and we are giving this up."
This admission is extremely significant as it precisely describes what was alleged by the class action suit. Microsoft will have to fight an uphill battle to prove that its employees' email correspondence was inaccurate and misleading.
Other emails make it clear that retailers had voiced frustrations with Microsoft, and were met with stubborn resistance from Microsoft executives due to the policy, which aimed to underhandedly pump up Intel's chipset sales. Says one Microsoft executive, guiltily, "
I was in Best Buy listening to people and can tell you this did not come clear to customers. We set ourselves up."
"This week I got an iPhone. This weekend I got four chargers so I can keep it charged everywhere I go and a land line so I can actually make phone calls." -- Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg

Hempstead, NY – Senior attackmen Jay Card, Jamie Lincoln and Stephen Bentz combined for five goals and six assists to lead the eighth-ranked Hofstra Pride to an 8-5 non-conference victory over the St. John's Red Storm at James M. Shuart Stadium Tuesday night. The Pride, who won their 12th consecutive home game, improved to 6-1 on the season. St. John's fell to 1-6.
Card tallied two goals and two assists, Lincoln added one goal and three assists and Bentz chipped in with two goals and one assist for the Pride. Card's two goals give him 106 in his career, moving him into sixth place on the Pride career goals list. It also extended his consecutive game point streak to 35 contests. Card also moved into seventh place on the Hofstra career points list with 160 (106 goals, 54 assists). Junior goalie Andrew Gvozden made 11 saves and allowed three goals in 55 minutes.
St. John's was led by Ryan Fitzgerald with two goals while Kieran McArdle added a goal and two assists.
The Pride, which led 6-0 at halftime, scored the first seven goals of the game and led 7-0 six minutes into the third quarter. Sophomore Ian Braddish opened the scoring 1:32 into the game off a pass from Lincoln. Junior Kevin Ford, who had a goal and an assist in the game, notched his sixth goal of the year from Bentz with 3:21 to play in the period.
Hofstra added four more in the second as Bentz posted his 12th of the year, from Card, right off the opening face-off seven seconds into the period. Lincoln then fed Card for a man-up goal and his 12th overall on the season with 8:33 to play in the half. Sophomore Adrien Sorichetti added his second goal of the season almost two-and-a-half minutes later before Bentz tallied his second of the game, from Card, 41 seconds after Sorchetti's tally for a 6-0 halftime lead.
Card boosted the Pride lead to 7-0 with a behind-the-head goal, cutting across in front of the cage, off a pass from Lincoln 5:53 into the third. The Red Strom scored three unanswered goals to cut the lead to 7-3 as Ryan Fitzgerald scored back-to-back goals, his fifth and sixth of the year, and Brandon Ayers notched his third of the season with 1:33 to play in the third.
But Lincoln bumped up the Hofstra lead to 8-3 with his 12th goal of the year, from Ford, 2:15 into the final quarter before Joe Granata scored with 3:27 to play and Kieran McArdle notched his 12th of the season with one second remaining for the final 8-5 margin. The Red Storm outshot Hofstra, 33-27, and picked up 22 ground balls to Hofstra's 21.
Hofstra returns to action on Saturday, March 26 when they resume Colonial Athletic Association play and host the Dragons of Drexel at James M. Shuart Stadium. Game time is 1 p.m.

Please update your Flash Player
Lisa has always been athletic. Running down the basketball court in a tournament game her freshman year of high school, she suddenly found herself sprawled on the floor—her knee, shoulder, and neck badly injured. Doctors repaired her knee through endoscopy, a minimally invasive form of surgery that uses miniature medical devices. A tiny camera even took pictures inside her body. On the edge of the photos was the name of the camera's manufacturer: Stryker.
Firsthand Experience
It was a name Lisa was to remember when she attended a career fair in college. "There was a booth for Stryker Endoscopy, and I thought, 'Hey, their devices did surgery on me!'" Lisa ended up with an internship at the San Jose, California, branch of the biomedical device company, working on the manufacturing processes for its miniature cameras and other instruments.
Streamlining and Troubleshooting
Lisa joined Stryker full-time after finishing college. As an industrial engineer in the video unit, she helps figure out how the products can be manufactured in the most efficient, cost-effective way to ensure the highest quality. "I make sure there's minimal waste, that we get the devices out the door fast, delivered on time, and with high customer satisfaction." Lisa likes the way a bumper sticker from the Institute of Industrial Engineers sums up her job: "Engineers make things . . . industrial engineers make them better!"
Understanding People
But Lisa isn't just concerned about Stryker's products. She also looks out for the welfare of Stryker's workers, and asks herself on a daily basis, "How can I make this easier for people? How can I make sure that the work is not hurting them?" One way she achieves this is by designing ergonomically sound assembly lines, set up to prevent employees from suffering repetitive motion injury. Working with people is one of the most rewarding parts of the job for Lisa. "I was really surprised by how much of engineering involves communication and leadership, and an empathy and an understanding of people."
More Surgery
Lisa's surgery during high school was not her last. In fact, after giving up basketball for the supposedly lesser-impact sport of water polo, she reinjured her shoulder. But endoscopic surgery—again using Stryker instruments—made Lisa's recovery time much faster than she would have experienced with traditional surgery. "They reconstructed my entire shoulder through four little holes."
Her recent life has been marked by three more trips to the operating room. So much time spent in the hospital did have its lighter moments, Lisa recalls. "My doctor videotaped one of the surgeries, and he would stop and wave the tools around in front of the camera, saying 'Look, Lisa—Stryker!'"
Helping People Get Their Lives Back
Lisa loves working in the medical world. "Even though I'm not a doctor," she says, "I have some of the same impact because we make the equipment that's in the doctor's hands. Knowing that we make things that give people the opportunity to get their lives back is amazing. I've experienced that firsthand."
