Not everyone who has cancer dies from it. In fact, there are nearly 12 million cancer survivors living in the United States today. However, if your loved one's cancer cannot be cured or controlled with treatment, then planning for how you and your loved one will handle the last stages of the disease can ease the burden for both of you. Ideally, you should make these decisions together, while your loved one is well enough to participate. Doing so can help give your loved one a sense of control and relieve you from having to make difficult decisions on your own at a time when you need to grieve.
What kinds of things should we plan for?
Palliative care: The goals of palliative care include relieving pain, improving emotional, spiritual and mental well being, and support for family members. A number of people can be involved in providing care, including members of the health care team, family, friends, a counselor or spiritual advisor. Palliative care can take place in a hospice setting. See our handout on Palliative Care.
Hospice care: Talk with your loved one about hospice care and advanced directives. Hospice care is for people whose illness can't be cured or controlled with treatment. Hospice focuses on providing the most dignified, pain-free existence possible to people in their last stage of life. Advance directives are instructions on what kind of care your loved one wishes to receive when he or she becomes unable to make medical decisions.
Financial and legal issues: You and your loved one may wish to have an accountant or lawyer help you sort through financial and legal issues. You can review items such as your loved one's insurance policies, finances and his or her will. Make a list of people who should be contacted upon the death of your loved one, such as friends and family, employer, financial advisor and members of his or her place of worship. You may also want to make a list of where to find items like important documents, computer or cell phone details, car keys, credit cards and passport.
Funeral arrangements: Perhaps the most difficult part of this process is planning your loved one's funeral. Talk with your loved one about his or her preferences (for example, burial or cremation) in relation to your budget. Ask your loved one how he or she wants the service to be conducted. For example, you may want to discuss hymns or readings to include in the ceremony and people your loved one would like to have as pallbearers. Don't feel that any detail is too small to discuss. When selecting a funeral provider, be sure to compare prices, services and payment options. It will be easier to do this sooner rather than later.

Constituent Update - November 1, 2013
FSIS Announces New Generic Labeling Rules and Guidelines
Today, FSIS announced the latest step in its efforts to streamline and improve the approval process for meat and poultry product labels and to implement value-added business practices that support the overall food safety mission. The agency is expanding the circumstances in which labels may be considered "generically approved." Under the revised generic labeling rule, statements on labels that are defined in FSIS' regulations or the Food Standards and Labeling Policy Book will not require prior approval. Revising this rule to include such statements allows companies to create and use new labels for meat and poultry products more quickly and efficiently, while still ensuring consumers have truthful information available to them as they make decisions when shopping for food. Moreover, the use of generic labeling will help products get to retail shelves faster, and it also helps FSIS' staff focus on more difficult food labeling or food safety issues.
Labels bearing special claims such as "vegetarian fed" or "no added antibiotics" will still need to be submitted to FSIS for approval. Once such labels are approved by the agency, the company does not have to resubmit the label to the agency for approval if the company later adds statements that are defined in FSIS' regulations (e.g., a defined nutrient content claims, such as "low fat"). FSIS' inspection personnel will continue to verify some aspects of labels in plants, including comparing the ingredients list against a product's formulation, as they were doing before this final rule.
Companies still need to submit labels bearing certain claims, such as organic, natural or animal-raising, as well as labels for temporary approval; products produced under religious exemption; and export-only that bear labeling deviations. Other examples of special claims that need to be submitted for approval include:
- Gluten free: certified and non certified;
- Implied nutrition claims: Heart Smart; Baked not Fried; and Made without Butter;
- Natural claims: All Natural; and 100% Natural;
- Negative claims or free claims: no animal by-products; no MSG; no MSG added; and no preservatives.
Expanding provisions for generic labeling reduces the number of labels that need to be submitted to FSIS for review. FSIS inspectors will continue to verify that all labels are accurate, not misleading, and in compliance with all labeling requirements. The agency will provide extra guidance and instructions for its inspectors to continue in-plant labeling verification activities.
FSIS will present a series of webinars and will provide new guidance online to help the industry, especially smaller producers, take advantage of this time- and cost-saving measure. This new rule follows the May 2012 release of an online Label Submission and Approval System (LSAS), which 1) makes it possible for food manufacturers to submit label applications electronically; 2) flags application submission errors that could delay the approval process; and 3) allows users to track the progress of their submissions.
FSIS encourages industry to embrace both generic label approval and LSAS as means to get approved labels on their products more quickly. To learn more about the generic labeling rule, visit http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/regulations/federal-register/interim-and-final-rules. The compliance guide is available at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/wcm/connect/bf170761-33e3-4a2d-8f86-940c2698e2c5/Comp-Guide-Labeling-Evaluation-Approval.pdf?MOD=AJPERES.

Lepore was awarded a Bancroft Prize for her book The Name of War and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for New York Burning.
He moved to Bancroft PLLC, a more ideological, small firm founded by Viet D. Dinh—another Bush administration lawyer.
It was just such a situation that led to the Bancroft family selling Dow Jones to Rupert Murdoch.
The Journal's then-owners, the dysfunctional Bancroft family, did not inspire confidence.
His book, The Rise of American Democracy: From Jefferson to Lincoln, won the 2006 Bancroft Prize.
"You two fellows shoot a match," said Tillinghurst to Bancroft and Conrad.
It seemed to Bancroft that they had not a thought in common.
Oak differed with him on this point, holding that Bancroft did more rewriting, but Nemos persists that this is an exaggeration.
In a whisper Bancroft asked Mrs. Conklin to let him have a word with her husband.
Not even Messrs. Bancroft and Palfrey have thought it unworthy of their eloquent pages.

This is the scarf handmade from camel hair, a fabric renowned for providing exceptional warmth without excessive bulk. Handcrafted on the banks of the River Shannon by McKernan, a family-owned firm whose 19th century Hattersley and 80-year-old Donegal tweed looms weave intricate, impeccably tailored scarves. The camel's soft, thick hairs allow them to thrive in harsh environments where temperatures plunge to -40� F and yield garments that deliver superior insulation and breathability. The scarf's tight herringbone weave provides a reliable barrier against brisk winds that sweep onto Irish shores from the Atlantic or swirl along New York City streets. The scarf's selvage edge prevents unraveling and it is finished with hand-knotted fringe. Brown. 64" L x 9" W x 1" D. (5 oz.)

It's no secret that models often struggle to stay thin. And it's also not a rarity to see some of them looking so emaciated that it's entirely evident they are depriving themselves of normal meals and nourishment.
But a new claim from Australia Vogue's former editor alleges that some fashion models are so desperate to stay skinny that they're eating tissues (yes, you read that correctly).
Former Australian Vogue Editor Kirstie Clements, who was let go last May, has come out with a tell-all book. Among her revelations? To ease hunger pains, many models are turning to a non-traditional source: Kleenex. She makes this startling claim in her new book, "The Vogue Factor."
The International Business Times shares the details:
One of the most shocking claims to come out of the book is that models still frequently starve themselves to stay super skinny, often resorting to eating tissues to help them feel full. Clements details a lunch date with an unidentified Russian model who claimed her roommate is a fit model "so she is in hospital on a drip a lot of the time."
Recounting a Vogue shoot in Marrakesh during her 13-year tenure as Editor, Clements wrote that she didn't once see the top model eat a single meal for the three-day gig. Even worse, Clements recounted that on the last day of the job, the model could hardly hold herself up or keep her eyes open. She had also penned that "when a model who was getting good work in Australia starved herself down two sizes in order to be cast in the overseas shows … the Vogue fashion office would say she'd become 'Paris thin.'"

text: Los Angeles County Museum of Art sifted through its archives to present a grouping of large-scale sculpture and painting installations, film, photography, and works on paper artists, architects, and scientists—all of which reinterpret, or rather, complicate, the idea of maps, monuments, landscape, and built environments. The conceit is based on artist Gabriel Orozco's Lost Line (1993–1996), a plasticine-and-cotton-string sculpture that Orozco says is "the opposite of a static monument," and that I say, looks like roads circling the moon. All in all, Lost Line: Contemporary Art from the Collection features works by 39 people, including Uta Barth, Lecia Dole-Recio, Shannon Ebner, Harold Edgerton, Barbara Kasten, Jim Lambie, Yunhee Min, Ed Ruscha, Robert Smithson, Frances Stark, and Buckminster Fuller, whose Dymaxion Air-Ocean World Map (1981), is juxtaposed with works associated with land art and conceptual art.

Anti-Phishing Solutions
Your organization can defend against phishing attacks by implementing various solutions or security strategies. Depending on the nature of the attacks and the environment involved, Entrust promotes the use of strong authentication, encryption and secure e-mail communication to help stop phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks.
- Strong Authentication: Entrust IdentityGuard for Consumers
- Encryption & Authentication for Internet Applications: Entrust TruePass
- Secure Email: Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server
A phishing attack occurs when a user receives a fraudulent or "spoofed" email representing a trusted source (e.g., bank, retailer or credit card company). This e-mail leads them to an equally fraudulent Web site that maliciously collects personal information, including account information, passwords and PINs.
Man-in-the-Middle (MITM)
A sophisticated type of phishing, man-in-the-middle attacks occur when an attacker attempts to intercept communications between two parties, such as a customer and a financial organization, without their knowledge.
By doing so, the attacker becomes "the man in the middle." Both parties are unaware of the attacker's presence. So, acting as a proxy, the attacker can both review and manipulate the contents of the messages he is relaying between the two parties.

Missing out on set bonuses with 10 or 20 int in favour of haste gems really doesn't make sense since you're reforging away haste. Also, I wouldn't recommend relying on DI for a few reasons, albeit the latter is debatable (I guess). Static over proc, it's more reliable which is better for heals ultimately.
BoTG may not be better than Genesis, but it's definitely better than Living Seed! I ran tests with it myself, even fully stacked and reforging for crit the amount healed is TINY compared with other spells looking at overall data. Considering that a huge chunk of our healing is Rejuv, and that Living Seed is conditional (as in only crits proc), BoTG beats it pretty easily. Even if you're doing a lot of tank healing, it's nearly worthless. Sadly. In theory it's a great spell.
As for trinks... Losing 450+ int (considering your raid experience) in favour of crit and passive int is a bad call. ICD is too long, and passive int has a multiplying negative effect on throughput ESPECIALLY considering the trinks you should be needing on in H DS, etc etc. For similar reasons I don't like relying on DI. You're a good player, and your style is interesting, but I question the value of some of your decisions, especially gearing and reforg priorities. You have skill, but you could be maximizing your throughput by making a few small changes.
Parkwaydrive: DI is great on a druid. Even on 25 mans. Depends what fight, what classes you're with, what specs, etc. Not that simple.
I don't like Living Seed's unreliability and the tiny amount it heals for. I'd rather take a realiable buff to one of our most powerful spells, and an ohshit button. So I spec BoTG and NS instead. Pure numbers are not the be-all and end-all for healing. I'm sorry that my gentle disagreement offended your delicate sensibilities, but I genuinely was just trying to help by making suggestions.
Edit: Err, the math you use relies on having your spec, which is linked... and then you are dual-feral specced? O_o It's not very convincing, though your other work is quite impressive. Other blogs are saying it depends on your healing style. If you are doing 10s or 5s and rely more in direct heals, then LS is much more likely to provide a healing boost. If you heal more with hots and do 25 mans (which I do), then the value of LS drops. Those blogs also show the raw numbers of their work, which is a bit more convincing. You are correct that I was oversimplifying, but it is by no means an objective call that everyone should follow.

Hey guys,
I just read the descussion about dropping t12 4p a page before and now I have a lame question.
Does it make sense to switch from mostly t12 normal to t13 normal? Higher itemlvl= int + secondary stats, regardless set boni?
Our Tank is full t13 now and next raid our tokens go to other raidmembers, and I thought I should ask someone with knowledge if it is worth it, or to step aside for Dmg dealers.
We now have 1 HM down, probably going to attempt the next Heroic boss today, and from what I've heard of they are a lot mor heal intensive then normal mode or Morochok. I did not have any mana issues during any fight...do I really need the 2p t13 bonus?
Thanks in advance
PS: Anyone interested my Armory: http://eu.battle.net/wow/de/characte.../Leokan/simple (trying to be not Moonkin specced)
Your logic is flawed. Yes a huge chunk of your healing comes from rejuv. but BotG increases that by ~1% per point. 2 points is about 2%. living seed does about what, 3,5% of my total healing? Thats a lot better then BotG. Now, in 25 it would be different, but since I do 10m and I need to keep healing the tank, I cast lots of HT/nourish and those crits are awesomeConsidering that a huge chunk of our healing is Rejuv, and that Living Seed is conditional (as in only crits proc), BoTG beats it pretty easily. Even if you're doing a lot of tank healing, it's nearly worthless.

As for my haste, I just got my weapon and I've gotta start all over with gems/ reforging. Just haven't done it, been a bit busy with TOR since I got it >.>
And I've never relied on DI. Got it for a while when we had 1 SP and 1 boomie with three locks, but I'd always lose it on Alys for sure and other fights depending on our mages whims, so didn't bother to reforge around it. It's not something *I* reforge around, but others have, and Parkwaydrive saying it's useless always was just silly.
As for LS vs. BoTG, it's situational, as others have said. I like it because a lot of things proc it when you regrowth in tree as well as when I have to tank heal. BoTG just doesn't do enough for me, though I don't particularly like LS either. If I had my choice, I'd take NEITHER of 'em, but you have to take one to advance
Many of the restoration blogs and resource link to my calculator - check out Lissana's guide and Myrrar's guide.
The source for the calculation can be seen from the web source.
It's pretty clear, even if your only source of Living Seed comes from Swiftmending every 15 seconds, it will do more healing than BotG talent. BotG is THAT terrible and overrated a talent.
Point out any blog that says otherwise - you can be pretty sure the author doesn't know about BotG additive stacking.
For 10s and 25s if you keep LB up as much as possible, use ToL correctly so you get CC a normally amount of times, you use Rg vs HT correctly, along with all the other basics, it's rare this tier for it to be anything but NB > LS > BotG
If you test for yourself and they are drastically different on all fights, you may want to take a look on how you heal because you are probably doing something wrong.
NB is a no brainer. LS vs BotG is normally the only thing debatable, but outside of a very few instances where you shouldn't be specing yourself after anyway, botg is pretty terrible.
Thanks very much for taking the time to explain all that nicely and for the patience with my ignorance of the complicated mechanics of BotG etc. Makes sense, though it seems like BotG is not working right, because it seems to be pretty useless given how it stacks. Definitely changing my spec. I forget who asked before, but I almost exclusively raid heal 25s. But even then it seems LS EASILY beats out BotG, even with just 1 point. Gonna spec for it.
Fights virtually consist of low/medium damage phases, where only tanks get constant DPS and the most of the raid damage is avoidable, and short but heavy read-wide AOE damage phases. Now ask yourself two questions:
1. Do you really care how many %s LS gives you when your raid takes like 10-15k DPS? I definitely don't.
2. Do you direct-heal through heavy raid-wide damage? I hope not (free RG's in ToL should be the only exception).
When sh*t is about to happen we either pop CDs or spam rejuvs. And that's where ANY +heal bonus for rejuv matters, while LS is almost worthless. So, although I agree totally that BotG is weaker in theory, it's still more desirable in an actual fight.
both talents are crap. perseverance is king because druids are the weakest healers from all classes and dead healer does 0 healing
Objective data vs Subjective opinions, we'll see which one people will believe in.
So, even though when testing your actual numbers from a fight LS leads to more effective healing than BotG, BotG is better?
No. LS leads to more healing because it leads to more healing. The amount of extra healing RJ gets from BotG in any phase does not compete with the healing LS gives throughout a full fight.
What you are saying makes absolutely no sense. 10k effective healing or 5k effective healing? Those aren't actual number, but you get the point. BotG does so little additional healing because it stacks additively it's worthless.
I raid 25s, I blanket RJ a lot of the time. I only use RG in emergencies and on CC. I hardly ever HT. I never nourish besides downtimes. LS equals to more healing than BotG.
Just because you 'feel like it would give more healing' doesn't mean it does. BotG is broken, end of story. If you read the OP, as it says,
You assume because we RJ a lot now the talent is better. You can math out your own healing and see that'a not the case. This isn't theory, this is taking logs and seeing fact.BotG stacks additively. Meaning with two points you only get right over 2% instead of 4. There is really no reason to take 2/2 botg and only really should take 1/2 if you are dropping massive amounts of regen points and have a ton to spare.
Per Dendrek: Rejuvenation is affected by several additive effects, meaning that although BotG should increase healing by 2% per point, it actually increases healing by MUCH LESS than 2%. In fact, it's worth something close to 1% increase per point. That's a 1% increase to Rejuv's healing, not a 1% increase to overall healing. It's very likely close to a .5% increase per point to overall healing. That amount is so small it almost makes those wasted talent points.
The value of living seed isn't the hps you get but the potential to save a players life when they need fast healing immediately. With NB and living seed, regrowth is actually a very potent flash heal. Trying to analyze the spell in terms of % healing done on WoL is like trying to assess the value of NS based on how much throughput it does on an average fight.
I don't understand the debate here between BotG and LS...
It takes thirty seconds to open up your parses, punch a few numbers into a calculator, and see the clear and objective result. BotG is terrible, LS is less terrible.
It's a complete and utter no-brainer.
With most restos losing their 2T12 bonus, the spec I would recommend is http://www.wowhead.com/talent#0hbhZMZMfzudMruouo

used bow presses?
Im looking for a fully functional used/preowned bow press in the northeast? I live in Maine but will travel to New Hampshire, Vermont or Mass. for the right price, that's if there is no shipping. This is my first bow press so I would rather start with an inexpensive model until I understand how and why on the basics. I generally work on all my own bows and have decided to go to the next level instead of going to a pro shop due to recent events at a well known shop. Have a brand new Quicksilver34ss model brought to pro shop and they said they install rest,sights,timing servings and so on and I was hesitant because just had a bad experience in the past,thats why I do things on my own,also I enjoy archery very much. Long story short the head tech dropped my new bow and also put 3 scratches over 2" long on the riser so that was the main reason im done with most shops and in market for a used bow press. please contact me at (207)446-9581 my name is Glenn if any one has 1 to sell. Thank you! call anytime up to 11pm

Spigner House garners preservation, green awards
By Peggy Binette, email@example.com, 803-777-7704
A home once owned by a South Carolina senator's wife and acquired by the University of South Carolina 50 years ago has been renovated and is earning awards for green building and restoration.
The Spigner House, which forms the campus' east boundary on Gregg Street, will be awarded the 2013 Preservation/Restoration Award Thursday, May 2, by the Historic Columbia Foundation. The renovations completed last summer earned LEED Gold, making Spigner House the fourth university building to achieve gold status by the U.S. Green Building Council. Other buildings include Patterson and Honors residence halls and the Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library.
"LEED certification at the highest possible level is the goal of building and renovation today, and USC is certainly committed to becoming ever more sustainable," said First Lady Patricia Moore-Pastides who helped guide the project. "In the Spigner House we were able to restore the craftsmanship and beauty of ages past while creating a space that will last well into the future with low environmental impact."
Acquired by USC in 1963, the former private residence now features entertaining and meeting space on the first floor and houses Carolina Dining/Sodexo offices on the second floor. A number of sustainable features led to the LEED Gold rating including appliances and HVAC equipment that exceed energy performance standards, low-emitting finishes and materials and low flow water fixtures to reduce water use.
Originally built in 1915, it was bequeathed to Henrietta Geddes Baily Spigner, the wife of Sen. Adolphus Fletcher Spigner Jr., by her aunt Annie Gertrude Pressley. Sen. Spigner is a 1903 USC law graduate and served in the S.C. Senate from 1915- 1919, representing Richland County, before being named solicitor for the 5th Judicial Circuit.
USC is a leader in sustainability. The university was named to the 2013 Green Honor Roll, receiving the highest possible score on Princeton Review's "Green Ratings." It was the only university in South Carolina and was one of two universities in the Southeastern Conference to earn the top ranking.
All new construction on the university's campus is built at LEED Silver or higher standards. Its most ambitious green project is the new Darla Moore School of Business, which It is on track to become the largest LEED Platinum building in South Carolina, with the university pursuing a Net-Zero rating through a partnership between the Moore School and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Is Florence headed back into the studio?
Listen to Florence + The Machine on iHeartRadio
Florence Welsh may be back at work. After declaring a year-long hiatus last year, the singer is rumored to be back in the studio.
According to "Digital Spy," a rising British EDM producer by the name of MNEK tweeted on Wednesday that he would be working with Florence for the next three days. MNEK is known for having created tracks for girl group Little Mix and Rudimental. But it's unclear whether she's at work on a follow-up to Florence + The Machine's 2011 album Ceremonials.
The news already has fans chatting, many taking to Twitter to express skepticism about the group going in a more EDM direction.

He always asked me to find him a William-Adolphe Bouguereau painting of angels and saints.
"You may smoke," said the Bouguereau child who was grown into womanhood.
Degas was in the habit of calling him the Bouguereau of Naturalism.
The grounds on which the works of Bouguereau and Cabanel are admired are certainly insufficient.
All Bouguereau's opportunities in life were made by himself, by his own genius.
Alicia rose and, crossing the room, carelessly inspected one of the pictures on the wall, a study of the nude by Bouguereau.
He is a true academician at bottom, but a more versatile and cultured painter than either Cabanel or Bouguereau.
She studied in Paris for many years and was a pupil of the great artist Bouguereau, whom she married.
It was a great, warm tinted nude by Bouguereau, a French artist who was startling his day with his daring portrayal of the nude.
An age which went wild over Cabanel and Bouguereau could not possibly be in sympathy with him.

Don't join the book-burners.Some of today's Dartmouth faculty should follow his advice.
Don't think you're going to conceal faults by concealing evidence that they ever existed. Don't be afraid to go in your library and read every book, as long as any document does not offend our own ideas of decency. That should be the only censorship.
How will we defeat communism unless we know what it is, what it teaches, and why does it have such an appeal for men, why are so many people swearing allegiance to it? It's almost a religion, albeit one of the nether regions.
And we have got to fight it with something better, not try to conceal the thinking of our own people. They are part of America. And even if they think ideas that are contrary to ours, their right to say them, their right to record them, and their right to have them at places where they're accessible to others is unquestioned, or it's not America.
A recording of the speech, in MP3 format, is available on the Class of 1953 website.

Steptoe associate Kevin Fincel has been named a recipient of the Children's Law Center Clinic Attorney of the Year Award by the Volunteer Lawyers Program (VLP). The award honors Fincel's exceptional pro bono service to teens and young adults with limited access to legal services. Justice W. Scott Bales of the Arizona Supreme Court and former Chief Justice Frank X. Gordon, Jr. presented the award to Fincel at the VLP's For Love of Justice reception on June 13 at the Phoenix School of Law in Arizona.
The VLP, co-sponsored by Community Legal Services (CLS) and the Maricopa County Bar Association, established the Children's Law Center (CLC) in 1998 to address the unmet legal needs of children. The VLP increases access to the civil justice system for low-income persons by recruiting, training, and mentoring lawyers who extend services to those who cannot be served by CLS due to limited resources. The CLC collaborates with several service organizations for children to increase legal services to at-risk children.
Fincel, a litigator based in Steptoe's Phoenix office, was recognized for his work with the Tumbleweed Center for Youth Development, a private nonprofit agency founded in 1972 to provide emergency shelter and services for runaway and homeless youth. The mission of the center is to provide a safe space for collaboration with adolescents and young adults in the community who are vulnerable or experiencing homelessness.
Since 2010, Fincel has provided services to teens and young adults who are homeless or have been declared dependent by the courts in a wide variety of matters including emancipation of minors, custody, immigration, employment, and child support. He provides young people with advice and resources that offer opportunities for them to develop their full potential.

r00t@infected ~ $ airodump-ng
r00t@infected ~ $ find / -name airodump* would have found it
Hey guys, im not new to linux, I have had other distros in the past before. However this is my 1st time using BT3.
I'm trying to text my WEP connection, however I cannot find airodump. I have tried 3 different manuals, and countless of searching websites and forums. I tried the run command, the search run program. Even tried searching for it in the programs. I was able to find Kismet very well by the tutorial but can not find airodump.
I'd like to thank you all in advanced and would like to be part of this community.
r00t@infected ~ $ airodump-ng
r00t@infected ~ $ find / -name airodump* would have found it
Seriously? You have used Linux before and you could not find this command? A quick google search shows you the name of the command. It is in the PATH!
locate airodu*
Another simple way to locate a command is the which command,
should output its location,Code:which airodump-ng
In my case
Giving was wanted a code from you the search of the network wireless and the contact through.

The concept has still to take off though. Andrei

fr <mrfm&^jMiihHik)i Jia *i ua utftni,.; ■ i/fiyi * Assistant Secretary of Interior Ada Deer meets with vocal community By Gary Blair Ada Deer's visit to the Twin Cities last Friday was quite eventful. Over one hundred Native Americans filled the gym of the Minneapolis American Indian Center to greet the Assistant Secretary of Interior for Indian Affairs. U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone gave opening remarks and then left without taking questions. Deer told the group she came to learn more about the conditions now facing Indian people and to learn about the programs that serve them. The two hour meeting which ended around 2:30 p.m. was hosted by the Minnesota Affairs Council. Shortly before her arrival, urban enroilees from the Leech Lake Reservation formed a protest outside the Indian Center. Apparently, members living on the reservation had received a one hundred dollar Christmas bonus while urban members were told they would receive the same if they could come forward before 3:00 p.m. on December 15th. According to the protestors, they learned of the money offer at about 1:00 p.m. and they went directly to the Leech Lake Twin Cities office expecting to collect their money. To their disappointment, however, they were told by office staff that the 3:00 p.m. deadline meant they would have to be in Cass Lake by that time if they were to receive the money. The trip takes over three hours by car and they were given less than two hours to get there, so the enroilees were very upset with the obvious unfairness of the situation and were requesting loudly that Deer do something about it.

' Tribal casinos wasted millions, auditors say Minneapolis (AP) ~ Indian casinos signed contracts paying outside managers at least $62 million in excessive fees and spent 12 times more than needed to lease gambling machines, the U. S. inspector general said Friday. The report said the Bureau oflndian Affairs, the National Indian Gaming Commission and states failed to enforce laws to assure that Indian gambling primarily benefits tribes. The report said 37 tribal casino businesses ~ one third ofthe total ~ were operating without state agreements in apparent violation of federal law. The report concentrated on Michigan and Wisconsin, where auditors said some of the biggest problems were found. Auditors said six Wisconsin tribes paid $26 million in excessive fees to lease gambling machines — 11 times what the equipment cost to buy. Wisconsin tribes lost another $500,000 from theft and embezzlement. Michigan casinos spent $ 12 million to lease gambling machines worth $623,000, the report said. An overriding conclusion was that many tribes relied on inaccurate financial advice or wasted money because they rushed into the casino business before federal regulations were enforced or even passed. Auditors contacted Indian tribes in Wisconsin, Montana, Michigan, Ne braska, Oklahoma and Oregon during the first half of 1993 for the report. They also interviewed state officials in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nebraska, California, Iowa, New Jersey, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. Auditors did not specify how much money may have been lost by Minnesota casinos as a result of mismanagement or fraud. But in a report in February, the inspector general concluded that Minnesota and Wisconsin casinos lost $11.5 million.

Copyright:. The Ojibwe Mews, 1993 Gaming negotiations reach impasse Gaming law changes delayed until next year By Bunty Anquoe Reprinted with permission of Indian Country Today Washington - Negotiations between tribes and states to find a compromise on changes to the federal- Indian gaming law may have reached a stalemate. The negotiating team of tribal leaders and state officials failed for the fourth time in six months to meet a target deadline for consensus legislation amending the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. Senate Indian Affairs Committee chairman Daniel K. Inouye, D- Hawaii, had said a draft bill was expected by mid-November, although he insists that negotiations are still making steady progress. The senator and committee vice- chairman John McCain, R-Ariz., began the talks with the competing interests in an effort to hold off a full- scale legislative war in the escalating political battle over who controls gambling in Indian country. "There is no stalemate," Sen. Inouye told Indian Country Today. The governors submitted a proposal for amendments and tribal leaders are looking at it. "The process is still working and will go on." But according to a Nov. 15 letter to Sen. Inouye and McCain, the National Governors Association and the National Association of Attorneys General insisted that tribes make concession on game-specific language in any amendments to the Indian Gaming Act or they will leave the negotiating table. The "scope of gaming" has emerged as the threshold issue, both sides have agreed. Since the embattled gaming law was enacted in 1988, tribes and states have clashed in legal and political squabbles over sovereignty and jurisdiction. States, with financial and political support from the private gambling industry, want more control over the scope of tribal gaming. They argue that the gaming law, as currently applied, infringes on states' rights by forcing tribal casinos within state borders. They have been seeking amendments that would limit tribes to specific games authorized unH«' state law and regulations.

New Prairie Island Tribal Council takes office Biographer pleased with Geronimo movies despite historical flaws By Bill Kaczor PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP)~ Geronimo biographer Woody Skinner is pleased that two new movies are rekindling interest in the Apache warrior, although both contain historical flaws. - His biggest disappointment, however, is that neither film depicts the nearly three decades Geronimo and his people spent as prisoners of war in Florida, Alabama and Oklahoma. "A lot of people are aware of Geronimo and certainly you've got to appreciate that," Skinner said. "Just because they take him out of context and they have him doing things he didn't do, not doing things he had done ..., that didn't bother me." "Geronimo," the television movie being shown on the TNT cable network, and the theater version, "Geronimo: An American Legend," are heavy on action. Both give the Apache medicine man the hero treatment—an Indian freedom fighter who wins all his battles— that is the antithesis of how Hollywood once depicted Native Americans. However, some Apaches do not view him as a hero, said Skinner, author of "The Apache Rock Crumbles: The Captivity of Geronimo's People." They blame Geronimo forthe 7.7 years their people spent as prisoners, the Pensacola historian said. The nomadic Apaches had been forced to live on a reservation in Arizona but small bands would break out, raiding and killing American and Mexican settlers on both sides of the border. Geronimo, the Mexicans called him that after St. Jerome, the orator, because he would shout for them to come out and fight, led the final breakout of about 150 Indians in May 1885. The theater movie, with Wes Studi in the title role, focuses on this episode. Geronimo's band dwindled to 36 as most returned to the reservation, but more than 5,000 troops were unable to capture him. Finally, Lt. Charles Gatewood, interpreter George Wratten, and two Apache scouts, Kayitah and Martine, found his camp in Mexico the following year and began negotiating his surrender. By then the first of about 500 Apaches had already been shipped to Fort Marion in St. Augustine as punishment for the breakout. Geronimo and about half of his small band later were imprisoned at Fort Pickens on a barrier island south of Pensacola. The POWs at St. Augustine included Apache scouts who had helped the Army fight Geronimo. "If Geronimo hadn't gone out that last time, he only went out with that small number of people, then the 500 Geronimo/Page 3 By Gary Blair After more than a week's delay, the newly elected tribal council of the Prairie Island Reservation was officially recognized by the BIA and was installed into office Friday, December 17, 1993. In a surprising historical victory on December 6, five new members were elected to the reservation's governing body. The small Dakota community is located 6 miles north of Red Wing, Minnesota, and has been the site of heated controversy for more than a year. On Monday of this week, the PRESS received a notice from the old council thatstated, "The entire Tribal Council of the Prairie Island Community together with both the tribal election judge will meet with the press at 11:00 A.M. to present their official letter of protest regarding the Bureau of Indian Affairs reprehensible intrusion into tribal sovereignty and the internal political affairs of their community. "Tribal Chairman Freeman Johnson, Vice Chair Johnny Johnson, Treasurer Vine Wells, council members Edith Pacini and Lu Taylor and election judges Geraldine Walker and Ronald Johnson will present a letter to the BIA on the steps of the BIA in the Midland square building at 331 2nd Ave. S. in downtown Minneapolis. "The letter will state the position of the tribal council on the unjustified and illegal action of the BIA in ordering the installation ofan illegally elected tribal council." The press advisory also included the following: "For more information contact election judge Geraldine Walker..." and it listed her phone number. The notice appeared to have been drafted on tribal stationary with the letterhead blanked out. The letter had the number 30 typed at the bottom as through it was part of larger document. Shortly after the tribe's election top voted getters who are employed at the reservations' casino were demoted. Curtis Campbell, who defeated Chairman Johnson, was one of those forced into a lesser job. Campbell was the casino's general manager. In that same action, Freeman Johnson promoted his son, Ronald Johnson, who was an election judge, from head casino janitor to assistant general manager. According to PRESS sources, the first order of business for the newly elected council was to rescind all the old council's orders made shortly after the electionand that included restoring Campbell and the others to their former positions at the casino. Other formal business included election of officer. Curtis Campbell was elected chairman; the vicechair position went to Darelynn Lehto; treasurer is Allen Childs, Sr.; secretaryisnowByron White; and the assistant secretary/ treasurer is Michael Childs, Sr. Vine Wells, who didnt seek re-election, is quoted in the Red Wing Republican Eagle newspaper as supporting the newly elected council and was highly critical of theoldmembershehadservedwith. Wells served on the council offand on for nearly forty years. Just before press time it was learned that two ofthe old council members had removed theirbelongings from the office building. PRESS sources say one of themsaid, "Wewereplanningtoprotests the election, but we have changed our minds. I will be looking for a job very soon." Another stated, "This is the first chairman I have respect for; I want to work with him."

Washington, D.C. — One of two vacancies on the National Indian Gaming Commission may soon be filled. Peter Goelz, former campaign aide to President Clinton, is the administration's likely choice to succeed current commission chairman Anthony Hope, a Bush appointee whose three-year term expired in May. Mr. Hope, considered a nemesis to Indian gaming by many tribal leaders, will continue in the post until a successor is confirmed by the Senate. Mr. Goelz is a longtime Democratic political consultant and was an adviser to Kansas City Mayor Emanuel Cleaver. According to the Kansas City Star, he previously worked for the riverboat gambling industry. Gaye Kingman, spokeswoman for the National Indian Gaming Association, said Mr. Goelz recently attended a tribal leaders task force meeting on gaming in Reno, Nev. "The tribes really put him through the hoops," shesaid. "We think he got a really good education about Indian gaming." The association, which represents 96 tribes, has not endorsed Mr. Goelz to the chairmanship position which pays $115,700 per year. The three member gaming commission is an independent federal entity that is responsible for formulating and enforcing federal regulations over Indian gaming operations. It also approves management contracts for tribes that have high-stakes gaming compacts with states. Tribes belonging to the National Indian Gaming Association had submitted three names to the White House for consideration for the commission chairmanship. These included: Tim Wapato, a member ofthe Colville Confederated Tribe and current executive director of the Indian Gaming Association; Harold Monteau, a Chippewa-Cree whose law practice is based in Great Falls, Mont.; and Gwen Margolis, a non-Indian Florida state legislator who has worked with gaming tribes in the state. Commissioner Joel Frank's position is also now open and the Indian gaming association has suggested Mr. Monteau orMr. Wapato as candidates for the position, Ms. Kingman said, adding that more names will be submitted in the near future. <

English 8-Balustrade Console Table
- No Longer Available -
An antique barrel stand, discovered at England's renowned Swinderby flea market, lent its genteel patina and unique construction to our table. In the 19th century, balusters were often created from 4 sections of wood, laminated together and then hand-turned on a lathe. We've recreated those balusters true to the antique originals, crafted of solid reclaimed elm with a plank top. Each table is then sanded to achieve an aged patina.

Blood pressure is a measurement of the force applied to the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps blood through your body.
Your blood pressure can be measured at home, or at your health care provider's office, a fire station, pharmacies, and many other places.
Diastolic blood pressure; Systolic blood pressure; Blood pressure reading; Measuring blood pressure
Your arm should be supported, with your upper arm at heart level, back supported, legs uncrossed, and feet on the floor. Your upper arm should be bare, with your sleeve comfortably rolled up.
You or your health care provider will wrap the blood pressure cuff snugly around your upper arm. The lower edge of the cuff should be 1 inch above the bend of your elbow.
Inflating the cuff too slowly or not high enough may cause a false reading. If you loosen the valve too much, you won't be able to determine your blood pressure.
The procedure may be done two or more times.
Measuring your blood pressure is best done after you rest for at least 5 minutes.
Do not take your blood pressure when you're under stress, have consumed caffeine or used a tobacco product in the past 30 minutes, or have recently exercised.
Take two or three readings at a sitting, 1 minute apart, while resting in a seated position. When measuring your blood pressure outside of a medical office, it is important to note the time of the readings.
Your doctor may suggest that you do your readings at certain times. A common recommendation is to take your blood pressure in the morning and at night for a week. That way, you will get at least 12 readings to help your doctor make decisions about your blood pressure treatment.
You will feel slight discomfort when the blood pressure cuff is inflated to its highest level.
Because there are no symptoms, you can have high blood pressure and not know it. High blood pressure may be found when you visit your health care provider for other reasons.
Diagnosing high blood pressure early can help prevent heart disease, stroke, eye problems, or chronic kidney disease.
All adults should have their blood pressure checked every 2 years, if their blood pressure was less than 120/80 mmHg at the most recent reading. You should have it checked yearly if your last reading was 120-139/80-89 mm Hg.
If you have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems, or certain other conditions, you should have your blood pressure checked more often -- at least every year.
Blood pressure readings are usually given as two numbers -- for example, 120 over 80 (written as 120/80 mmHg). One or both of these numbers can be too high.
Normal blood pressure is when the top number (systolic blood pressure) is below 120 most of the time, and the bottom number (diastolic blood pressure) is below 80 most of the time (written as 120/80 mmHg).
If your blood pressure numbers are 120/80 or greater but below 140/90, it is called pre-hypertension. If you have pre-hypertension, you are more likely to develop high blood pressure.
High blood pressure (hypertension) is when the top number (systolic blood pressure) is 140 or more most of the time or the bottom number (diastolic blood pressure) is 90 or more most of the time. (written as 140/90 mmHg).
If you have diabetes, heart disease, or kidney problems, or if you had a stroke, your doctor may want your blood pressure to be lower.
Most of the time, high blood pressure does not cause symptoms. For most patients, high blood pressure is found when they visit their health care provider or have it checked elsewhere.
See also: Preeclampsia to learn about high blood pressure in pregnant women.
It is normal for your blood pressure to be different depending on the time of day:
Blood pressure readings taken at home may be a better measure of your current blood pressure than those taken at your doctor's office, as long as you make sure your machine is accurate. You can ask your health care provider to compare your home readings with those taken in the office.
Many people become nervous at the doctor's office and have higher readings than they normally would at home. This is called white coat hypertension.

Scentsy has created the ultimate, safe way to not only scent a room but – your entire home – with a Safe Candle alternative.
Just break off 1 (one) piece/cube of wax from your Candle Bar (that's all you'll need) and place it in the top dish of one of your favorite Scentsy Candle Warmers. Turn on the Candle Warmer and our 25, 20 & 15 watt light bulbs will warm the wax the scent of your choice will release our powerful and long lasting fragrances into your home, office, dorm room, classroom, etc. Buy Scentsy Replacement Light Bulbs for $1. These are specially made just for our Scentsy Warmers.
A secret combination of ingredients is used to create a pool of melted wax, which is transformed into a candle bar. We only uses the finest scented oils to give off a wide array of aromas that will please all fragrance palates. The melted wax is poured into reusable containers for easy storage. Our candle wax is allergen free and does not contain soy.
When all the fragrance has left the melted wax in your warmer, you can either pour the melted wax into the garbage or wipe the warmer dish with a paper towel or, you can turn off your Candle Warmer for 10 minutes and then pop out the cooled wax! How easy is that? We even have special Scentsy Grab Tabs that you can use with your Plug-in Warmers to easily remove cooled wax.
When you buy Scentsy Candle Warmers you'll no longer leave your home thinking, "Did I blow out the candle before I left?" Our Candle Warmers never get too hot to pose the threat of fire. They are safe to have around children and pets and, our children each have a warmer of their choice in their room which double as their night lights! Actually, our daughter has had her Zebra Warmer on in her bedroom for 2 years. She never turns it off unless we go on vacation and we've only had to replace the light bulb once!
Again, just nightlight your Scentsy Candle Warmer, drop in a cube of Scentsy Wax, turn it on and… walk away. It's just that simple! Compare Scentsy to other Candles and Room Fresheners
