The Legionella bacterium was directly correlated to the illness and deaths at the Pennsylvania American Legion Convention at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Philadelphia during the summer of 1976.
Legionnaire's disease can be transmitted when susceptible hosts inhale mists containing Legionella Bacteria. Cooling towers and evaporative condensers - both of which are wet-type, heat-rejection devices which produce large volumes of mists that are often contaminated with Legionella - have been found to be sources of outbreaks in a number of published and unpublished investigations.
JCAHO EC 1.7 Compliance As of January 2001, health care facilities accredited by JCAHO must have a management program to "reduce the potential for organizational-acquired illness." The new standard, numbered EC 1.7, holds health care facilities responsible for "managing pathogenic biological agents in cooling towers, domestic hot water, and other aerosolizing water systems."
In the UK and in other European nations there has been a tremendous concern over the health and legal implications of Legionnaire's Disease, resulting in government regulations and mandatory periodic cooling tower sanitation. Rochester Midland's Risk Minimization Program offers a way to demonstrate "reasonable care" against potential litigation and associated health risks. This program consist of three components:
- Proper water management programs as defined by CTI, and implemented by your staff and RMC.
- Independent lab certification that system water is Legionella free at time of sampling.
- Compliance with JCAHO EC 1.7
Rochester Midland will work with your organization to develop a management plan describing how to establish and maintain a utility systems management program to reduce the potential for organizational acquired illness. The plan provides processes for managing pathogenic biological agents in cooling towers and other aerosolizing systems and includes the alternative solution of using ozone as a biocide.

Click 3X & PBS Explore Life, The Universe, and Everything Else This Fall
Click 3X recently wrapped a series of visually stunning promos for a pair of exciting new shows from long-time client PBS:
PBS Arts Fall Festival
and the universe-dissecting
series. Gearing up their best animation, compositing, design and VFX, the studio churned out a brilliant parade of imagery to promote the two new series.
"We've worked with Click 3X for years with great success and results, and they've become one of our go-to design companies," noted PBS Senior Creative Director John Ruppenthal. "A lot of companies will listen, but they don't always hear. Click is different - they adapt and adjust to our feedback and come through with an end-product that is perfect every time. Plus, their versatility is astounding - that they can dive in and bring such polar opposite ideas as we have in these two campaigns to life is absolutely unreal."
"PBS wanted some attention-grabbing work that would capture the essence of these two great shows, and they knew Click 3X could handle it," noted Click 3X Managing Director David Edelstein.
PBS Arts Fall Festival
is at the center of the network's fall lineup, offering full-length musical and theatre performances, artist and performer profiles, behind-the-scenes documentaries and mini-films about the wide array of art scenes across the US.
Click 3X spent the summer collaborating with the PBS team to develop the project. The key was to find a way to spotlight beautifully shot thematic moments, as well as upcoming show footage, in a way that illustrated how such diverse performances could all come together in one place. By featuring a blend of powerful, brilliantly colored graphics and star-studded footage, Click was able to harness that sensibility, first with an internal sizzle, and then through a long lead tease, promos, and key show packaging.
"We wanted to illustrate how the arts festival embraced the entire nation," stated Creative Director Ders Hallgren. "Of course, when you're dealing with such renowned artists, the promotions have to equal the fantastic art that the shows profile, so we had to pull all of our creative powers together to develop some really knock-out stuff."
Nova's Fabric of the Cosmos
, starring acclaimed physicist and author Brian Greene, explores a series of compelling questions that lie beneath the surface of our everyday existence: What is space made of? Is time travel possible? Can you exist in other universes? In its promos, Click 3X beckons potential viewers to the series with an illustration of the Big Bang in reverse; a high-speed, twisting ride through the cosmos, past masses of celestial bodies blinking in and out of the picture in a series of explosions and a flutter of disintegrating and reforming matter.
Click 3X worked with Greene and the PBS team over a several-month period to cater the promotion directly to the series' main message points. After a comprehensive design phase that explored the use of live-action, illustration, and both 2D and 3D animation, the teams agreed upon a final look. Click 3X then joined forces with accomplished matte painter Bill Mather (
Star Wars
Forrest Gump
) to create the sequence's look, which they executed in Maya and Flame under the creative direction of Click 3X artist Theo Maniatis.
"These projects really showcase our team's ability to create compelling design fused seamlessly with our powerful VFX and 3D divisions," shared Hallgren. "We were thrilled with the opportunity to work with PBS on such wild rides, both across our nation and through space."

Charter school student participation grows by 76 percent in five years
Advocates prepare to celebrate success of public charters during National Charter Schools Week, May 6-12
WASHIINGTON, D.C – The number of students attending public charter schools across the country has grown by an estimated 76 percent in the last five school years, according to the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools (NAPCS).
As parents, teachers and students from across the country prepare to celebrate National Charter Schools Week next month (May 6-12, 2012), advocates are recognizing the tremendous advancements in public charter schooling that have laid a new, bipartisan foundation for education reform in America.
Student enrollment in public charter schools grew from 1,165,200 students in 2006-2007 to an estimated 2,035,261 in 2011-2012. Over the same period, the number of public charter schools grew by 41 percent – from 3,999 to 5,627 – with an expected 521 new public charter schools opening in the 2011-2012 school year alone.
"Support for public charter schools transcends party lines and ideological backgrounds, with more Americans now realizing the extraordinary opportunities that public charter schools provide to children, communities, and our country," said Ursula Wright, interim president and CEO of NAPCS. "Yet despite the significant growth experienced in recent years, demand for charter schools in our country far outpaces the number of seats available to students in these schools."
Next month, thousands of participants will celebrate National Charter Schools Week with special events and activities at schools across the country. The awareness generated by these events will compliment local advocacy efforts like seeking improvements to laws that would allow for the creation of new charter schools, equitable funding for charter schools when compared to traditional district schools and increased access to unused or under-utilized public school buildings.
In just 20 years, the public charter school movement has reached 41 states and the District of Columbia by enacting charter school laws. (The nine states that do not have charter school laws are Alabama, Kentucky, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia.) Maine passed its first charter school law in the summer of 2011. There are now approximately 5,600 public charter schools enrolling what is estimated to be more than two million students nationwide. Charter schools are tuition-free public schools that are allowed to be more innovative while being held for accountable for improved student achievement. These figures were compiled based on data from state departments of education and state charter school support organizations and resource centers.
For more information about public charter schools, or about National Charter Schools Week, visit the website of the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools.

Starting today, following a 5-0 vote by the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) , depositors in foreign US bank branches will officially no longer have recourse to a $250,000 in deposit insurance. The notional amount of deposits at risk: $1 trillion. This is not a new development: the FDIC rule to curb insurance on this category of deposits was proposed earlier this year, and today was the formalization.
I think Citibank is the only major US bank with branches in Sri Lanka.
The FDIC's action was prompted by the move last year by U.K.
regulators to propose changes in the way deposits held at overseas
branches should be treated. FDIC officials said.
If the UK proposals are implemented then HSBC deposits in Sri Lanka will no longer be insured.

ROCK HILL, S.C. - Part of college life is developing a student's creative side and providing a supportive environment for the student to unleash the imagination. Learning how to express that trait is the subject of "The Creative Habit" by Twyla Tharp, which was recently selected as the Common Book for incoming Winthrop University freshmen to read this summer.
The university's 2007-08 Common Book is the fourth installment of the Common Book Project sponsored by University College. Serving on the book selection committee were faculty, staff, students and a representative from the York County Public Library.
Committee members believe the book will strike a chord with each reader, and that it offers unlimited possibilities for academic programming across each discipline and college. Jennifer Solomon, assistant dean of University College, believes the selection will help shape the college experiences of incoming freshmen. "The book encourages you to examine yourself and to explore ways to tap into your inner creativity. What a great way to encourage students to explore this important concept at the beginning of their college careers," Solomon said.
Tharp, touted as one of America's greatest choreographers, began her career in 1965, and has created more than 130 dances for her company as well as for the Joffrey Ballet, The New York City Ballet, Paris Opera Ballet, London's Royal Ballet and American Ballet Theatre. She has received two Emmy awards and a Tony award and was inducted into the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 1993. In addition, she was made an honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1997.
In her second book, "The Creative Habit," Tharp discusses the need to make creativity a part of everyone's life and the willingness to make it a habit. Complete with 32 practical exercises, the book encourages the reader to scratch for ideas, get out of a rut and get into a productive rhythm.
The Common Book Project is one of many programs designed to integrate Winthrop students into the university environment and provide a common academic experience. Incoming freshmen receive information about the book at orientation and read the book during the summer.
University College administrators and members of the Common Book Committee will spend this spring on programming for the book during the fall. Previously, programs have involved a lecture by a book's subject, public art, and last year's program that included audience participation and a 20-minute video featuring Winthrop professors, staff and students.
"Fostering creativity is what college is about," Solomon said. "This book and the related programs, presentations, and projects will help turn student spectators into student participants in the creative process."
For more information, contact University College at 803/323-3900.

Any good recipes for pregnant women in the first trimester?

Eat whatever you can handle. Morning sickness, fatigue, and cravings don't usually make for thrilling meals. With my son, I wanted to eat bizarre things--like jarred Pace salsa (ick--but it tasted so good then), and potatoes all the time. This time (I'm at 31 weeks), I ate thankfully wanted to eat a lot of falafel, but I would not touch a potato with a 10 ft pole. It's depressing sometimes to think about what you want to eat or what you ARE eating, but you'll get through it.
February 3, 2011
No sushi ! And limited fish....talk to your OB/GYN as others have said, but a lot of fin fish have high levels of mercury. Limited exposure during the entire term is recommended.
February 2, 2011
I could not stand the smell of cooked ground beef!
February 2, 2011
I had extremely challenging levels of nausea well into my seventh month with both boys, and it wasn't just morning sickness; it was morning, noon and night sickness. The only thing that really made me feel great when I ate it was beef Burgundy. I'm not kidding. It was like a drug. I felt wonderful and not nauseous when I ate it and terrific the next day. Crazy but true. I say, go with your instincts on what appeals to you. Yes, you need to be thoroughly supernourished. Take your vitamins with whatever you can keep down, and always remember that the time will fly and the minor inconvenience of pregnancy digestion and appetite issues will be behind you before you know it. The other recommendations posted so far are all very good. ;o)
February 2, 2011
I used to make my wife calcium-supercharged smoothies. I'd cut up fresh fruit and freeze it (on a cookie sheet, then transfer to a bag so you don't end up with a large block of frozen fruit). I'd throw some fruit in the blender, along with some skim milk, some skim milk powder for extra calcium, and I'd sweeten it with molasses. Really good and helped to make sure she got enough calcium, which is pretty important, not only for the baby, but also for the mom. My understanding is that there's some thought that insufficient calcium intake during pregnancy can contribute to osteoporosis later on.
February 2, 2011
Yes, I agree with previous posters. Check with the doctor and see what his/her guidelines are, but also find out what cravings the pregnant woman has. When I was pregnant, I didn't crave so much meat as endless fresh vegetables (luckily my first trimester was in the summer, so there were lots to choose from!). Very simply prepared food like a baked potato was also enormously satisfying to me.
February 2, 2011
Among the foods I couldn't tolerate during pregnancy was broccoli - even the smell would send me running - but as soon as my daughter was born and my hormones returned to some semblance of normalcy, I was fine with everything again. But the oddest part of food during pregnancy were the cravings - I was a vegetarian at the time and lusted for meat! Early in the pregnancy, I shocked myself and my husband by devouring a full grilled chicken breast (both halves) in one sitting. Just one of the early indications that life with children is life-changing.
February 2, 2011
Thanks for all the information!
February 2, 2011
In my second trimester now and I didn't really have any particular food aversions, other than not really having an overall appetite. I'd say in general,dishes with quinoa, brown rice, salads - healthy grains and veggies are good anytime, especially when pregnant.
February 2, 2011
If you suffer from morning sickness (in my case, morning/noon/night sickness) first trimester is usually worst - so a woman may be uncharacteristically picky then. I had serious ever-changing food aversions, so it was hard to predict: one day broccoli, the next something as innocent as cereal with milk on it. My only sustained craving was bacon - but that's not the healthiest thing to over indulge in. (Not saying I didn't, notice.) In terms of relieving morning sickness, I tried everything; nothing helped. Lucky me. Second trimester, was far easier, thankfully.
So, besides the health restrictions mentioned above (no raw fish, raw cheeses, etc.), I'd let those preferences guide you. Also, I became fairly anemic while pregnant, which is fairly common, so if that's an issue, iron rich foods are useful (even if dutifully swallowing those awful smelling iron pills.) Red meat, dark greens like spinach, dried fruit, etc. - whichever the woman likes.
February 2, 2011
I kept a good supply of Candied Ginger which calms the stomach when chewed. And soda crackers!
February 2, 2011
Agree with hardlikearmour about food aversions--mine were poultry, seafood and coffee! I ate A LOT of steak when I was pregnant. Also, pregnant women should have no tuna or raw fish of any kind. And the guidelines keep changing-- find out what her doctor advised about her diet.
February 2, 2011
You're going to need to talk to the pregnant woman, as they can have food aversions from the pregnancy hormones. I've heard of something as seemingly innocuous as boiling rice inducing nausea! You definitely need to avoid raw cheese, lunch meat/deli meat that is not heated to at least 160º F, paté-type meat, refrigerated smoked fish that is not cooked in something and undercooked meat of all types -- these can carry Listeria, a bacteria that can lead to miscarriage.

The early beginnings of meat marketing might have coincided with the first settlements of mankind and the development of different trades and professions. Since then, meat has developed into a valuable commodity in many countries. Fresh meat is a highly perishable good and therefore prone to spoilage and must be treated with utmost care for consumer protection. Meat must be produced, transported, stored and marketed under hygienic conditions.
Often fresh or frozen meat is shipped from one region around the globe to markets with higher demands. Industrial meat processors, when faced with a shortage of raw meat materials, are able to import large quantities of frozen meat trimmings from around the world for further processing. It might well be that a canned meat product found on a supermarket shelf in Africa contains buffalo meat from Asia, pork from Europe and beef from South America.
In industrialized countries fresh meat is mostly generated in modern slaughter facilities and an uninterrupted cold chain is applied during cutting, transportation and marketing. Meat inspection and quality control procedures are put in place and implementation is monitored by Government authorities. Depending on the location, basically two different marketing systems can be observed:
In rural settings of industrialized countries, the whole meat marketing chain is often covered by traditional butcheries selling fresh meat produced in the immediate surroundings, thus avoiding long supply chains. Butchers have direct contacts to the smallholder livestock producers and provide fresh meat and specialized meat cuts to their customers. Having their own slaughter, cutting, processing and sales facilities ensures the freshness and traceability of the meat offered. The responsible local authorities monitor the introduced meat hygiene and safety regulations.
In urban centres and industrial areas, the number of small butcheries selling their own produce directly to consumers decreased substantially over the last decades. With growing populations and increasing demands for meat, better suited marketing systems were needed. Modern supermarket outlets took on this role. Such high volume meat production and trade require stringent quality control systems to avoid health hazards for the consumers. Due to the distance from livestock producing areas and resulting longer supply chains for the meat, freshness and traceability present a challenge for all parties involved in the marketing chain. The development and subsequent introduction of stringent quality control systems and efficient traceability mechanisms was a logical consequence.
In some countries where a fast industrialization process took place joined by a concentration of urban population and the development of mega cities, serious problems in food supply emerged. Due to prevailing consumer preferences, fresh meat is often still sold in traditional wet markets, but must be transported from far outside the cities without adequate infrastructure. As a result, serious health hazards for consumers can emerge. In recent years, supermarkets are emerging in such areas, but prices may be higher and meat is often not affordable to lower income groups.
In developing countries with predominantly agricultural based economies, fresh meat is still mainly distributed through traditional wet markets or simple meat stalls. These wet markets and meat stalls are often attached to slaughter places or in the proximity of rural slaughter facilities. In the absence of functional cold chains, fresh meat is purchased in the early morning and cooked and consumed the same day. Meat inspection regulations are put in place by local authorities to facilitate the supply of safe and wholesome meat to consumers, but implementation and monitoring still varies widely.
In all above mentioned cases, strict regulations on meat hygiene and safety must be applied. In order to facilitate the efforts of Governments and regional and international authorities, FAO and WHO have established the Codex Alimentarius. The various codes are frequently updated and availed to authorities as guidelines for the establishment of appropriate food safety regulations.

A belated happy new year to everyone... and three trios plus an organ and tenor combo to greet 2010...
Evan Parker Trio and 'Geometry.' Starts off busy, fragments of saxophone and bass running round each other as the drums lay out a broad sweep underneath to carry them. Dropping back to solo drums, intricate use of space and silence, a sparseness that builds back into more layered and complicated rhythms then eases again into pointillist dabs of sound at the high end of the range, spliced with sudden runs into the lower sax register. Parker coming from small pieces of sound to build a knottier line, disrupted by sudden register leaps, his trademark illusion of playing several lines at once. Fast clattering from Lytton, cymbals occasionally lashing through like sabres, who falls out to leave Parker strafed by Guy's prodding and speedy pattering. Sometimes hard to distinguish who is playing what in an area where rhythm, melody and sound disrupt conventional boundaries. Going to the end on some throaty blowing and quick-walking bass, Lytton sure-footedly booting it along. Three as one, post-Euclidean definitely...
Another trio... Jimmy Giuffre with Bob Brookmeyer and Jim Hall, their version of 'Blue Monk, from 1958 and the album 'Western Suite.' Jumping across time and genres, shadowing the 'archetypal' nature of the original, they come in on an easy swing propelled by Hall's guitar in a chugging straight four that echoes the likes of Freddy Green. This timeless feel reinforced by Guiffre on clarinet, blending with the trombone as a two thirds approximation of the classic New Orleans front line. Giuffre solos first, chalameau register with the odd piping move into higher registers, occasional trombone shadowing. Brookmeyer solos after the leader, in turn swathed in Giuffre's woody obbligatos. Hall chordally thunks out a couple of choruses with ghostly support from trombone and clarinet before spreading out melodically but staying within basic bluesy parameters. A masterly minimal and original look at one of Monk's greatest tunes that takes it back to its roots without being preciously retro. This trio manage to create a large airy space to move through – while generating a full sound that belies the numbers. Hall is the backbone for this strategy – his deep moving notes offer the illusion of a bass while his chord work fills out the middle. Giuffre dropped the drums in his ground-breaking trios of the fifties, probably because his own visions of freedom in jazz would have been shackled by most conventional modern jazz drummers of the time... I always see a link between him and Ornette Coleman, not least their Texan connection...
... which leads to: Ornette and his 1965 trio on tour in Europe, recorded at the Tivolis Koncertsal, Copenhagen, Denmark, November 30, 1965. One of my favourite lineups, Izenzon on bass and Charles Moffett on drums to support the leader, on fine form that year. This is 'Clergyman's Dream,' one of those odd yet memorable Coleman tunes, combining a brief slow slurred section with a sprightly answering. Ornette takes an exhilarating solo, bluesy combined with unfettered freedoms - themselves grounded in the logics of the blues? Izenzon plays fairly solid four throughout then moves outwards in his own solo – fast runs and pauses that indicate his thought processes, subtly backed by faintly hissing cymbals. Moffett up next for a swinging section that combines those old jazz virtues with a new linearity and melodic sense, new in the sense that although his antecedents – Max Roach and Kenny Clarke to name two who explored the extended rhythmic melodic possibilities given by bop but one could go further back to Warren 'Baby' Dodds for the sake of inclusion – had done similar, they were still playing in the main across set chorus structures. Moffett has the wide open spaces in front of him to explore... and does. Ornette returns and the track goes into some intriguing stretching and contracting as the rhythm breaks up. Back into the theme for the last minute of so ending on a rapid run through. Cue applause and rightly so...
Going out on some Gene Ammons and Richard 'Groove' Holmes from a live recording at the Black Orchid Lounge in Chicago in 1961... I've mentioned before when putting up a couple of tracks from the album that I bought this when I was a teenager and have that obsessive fondness for it still, remembering how it was when young, with little money and no great range of stuff to buy anyway in the jazz racks of the local shops, so that each album became a small treasure. This is a joyful bounce through 'Exactly like you,' 'meat and potatoes' jazz I called it before, the classic organ and tenor combo. Swinging, soulful, social music – yet with some bite to it, due to the skills involved. Ammons solo combines big-hearted r and b rawness with some hurtling bebop flurries later in, Holmes ice cool organ, like the joys of a menthol cigarette in more innocent days. Some trading between the constituents at the end to keep the crowd happy – the applause sounds as if they succeeded. The whimsical thought just occurred to me that Groove Holmes sounds like a hip building company specialising in real estate for bohemians...

The Word of the Day for July 17, 2009 is:
omnibus • \AHM-nih-bus\ • adjective
- 1 : of, relating to, or providing for many things at once
- 2 : containing or including many items
Example Sentence:
At the beginning of the school year, teachers held an omnibus meeting to tie up many of the loose ends that were left unaddressed over the summer.
Did you know?
The adjective omnibus may not have much to do with public transportation, but the noun omnibus certainly does — it not only means "bus,"but it's also the word English speakers shortened to form "bus." The noun "omnibus" originated in the 1820s as a French word for long, horse-drawn vehicles that transported people along the main thoroughfares of Paris. Shortly thereafter, omnibuses— and the noun "omnibus" —arrived in New York. But in Latin, omnibus simply means "for all." Our adjective omnibus, which arrived in the mid-1800s, seems to hark back to that Latin omnibus, though it may also have been at least partially influenced by the English noun. An "omnibus bill" containing numerous provisions, for example, could be likened to a bus loaded with people.

A couple finds divine purpose in serving and safeguarding the children in their neighborhood
Victoria and Daniel Allen have a classic love story: 25 years ago they met in church as young adults, became best friends, got married and grew their family. But their desire to build a loving home for children didn't stop at their doorstep — it extended to their Garfield Park community, where for the past 18 years, they've led Divine Purpose Youth Performing Arts Center (DPYPAC), a 501c3 organization.
DPYPAC's mission is to support young people who have dreams related to the arts, dance and music; the organization positions participants to realize those dreams through academic tutoring and character-building education that emphasizes strong relationships with peers and family. The Allens are unique because they tap into the students' creativity and energy to shape DPYPAC offerings; being connected to children lives in their souls.
"I've always had a passion for children, even when I was a child. I always brought kids home, combed hair and gave away clothes, doing anything that I could do to try to help someone else. My husband has such a big heart for youth, too, and so we just shared our dreams and our ideas," Victoria says. "When it came to forming DPYPAC, he said we need to go for it."
Each weekday during the school year, DPYPAC picks up 45-50 students from five elementary schools, provides snacks, and then sends the kids to performing arts classes or helps with their homework. Older students receive support, too. Three days a week, Daniel Allen, a music teacher and Chicago Police Department 11th District sergeant, manages Beyond Rhythm and Rhyme, an initiative for boys (14–18 years old) established through After School Matters. It taps into the teens' interest in rapping and affords Daniel a platform to talk with them about their broader dreams and goals.
Other weekdays, DPYPAC is running Safe Haven After School Program, where enrollees play video games, or write and listen to music in a studio, letting the teens interface with the recording equipment and learn engineering skills
"We just let them 'do them.' If it's going to keep them safe and off the street, it's no problem," Victoria says.
Nestled in a Garfield Park building (shared with two other nonprofits: United for Better Living, who collaborates with DPYPAC to run the Safe Haven After School Program, and Fathers Who Care), DPYPAC is in its 10th year of year-round programming. It recently opened summer camp registration, giving working parents five weeks of daylong, structured and engaging activities for $150 per child — Victoria acknowledges that the rate is well below market yet affirms that DPYPAC intentionally set it to be as affordable as possible for Garfield Park families.
"(This is) one of the best jobs that I've ever had, but the hardest job (too). It's such a struggle financially, sometimes you just want to throw your hands up and say, 'Lord, I tried,'" Victoria confides."But then, when I look back at them (the children), I keep fighting. I keep going when I see them come through the doors and (receive) the little hugs, all that. I say, 'OK, God, something has got to happen.'"
May 5th, something is happening: The organization will host a pre-Mother's Day fashion show and luncheon fundraiser : open to the public, $15 donation, and guests will see DPYPAC youth perform, model and dance with their moms.
"We started off doing this at the local park, before we moved to our own facility — we have young people who are now college students, married and have children," Victoria triumphs."I must say that it's just a blessing to see all of these young people doing well: working, taking care of families…it's good to see that we had a big part in that."
This is a story about the Community Safety and Peace strategy of the Partnership for Safe and Peaceful Communities.
If you are an employer, you can hire young people at risk. If you are a community leader, you can help improve police-community relations. If you are a health care provider, you can support trauma-informed care to gun violence victims. If you are a funder, you can support any one of these efforts. Whatever you do, your voice matters when you speak up in support of policies that can make our neighborhoods safer. Reach out to learn more.

I don't know anything about hockey, nobody close by plays hockey, we live in the South, so it's not really cold enough here!!! So I did my page on the Great Wayne Gretzky!!!!
I kept it pretty basic, not much embellishing for a page like this, I thought it should be more graphic.
I did add some black hemp twine and a little faux stitching!
And a tiny little Tim Holtz clip!!! This is a really neat grungy collection, it could be used for anything masculine, not just hockey, there are enough generic patterns on the back!

Prostate Problem Symptoms
Frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and inability to urinate are just a few symptoms of enlarged prostate (BPH), a common prostate problem.
*Prostate problems facts medical author: Charles Patrick Davis, MD, PhD
Frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and inability to urinate are just a few symptoms of enlarged prostate (BPH), a common prostate problem.
The prostate is a gland about the size of a walnut. It is part of the male reproductive system and wraps around the tube that carries urine out of the bladder. It grows larger as you get older. If your prostate gets too large, it can cause health issues. Having prostate problems does not always mean you have cancer.
Sometimes a doctor may find a problem during a routine checkup or by doing a rectal exam. If you think there is something wrong with your prostate, see your doctor right away.
Here are some examples of non-cancer prostate problems:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, means your prostate is enlarged, but is not cancerous. It is very common in older men. An enlarged prostate may make it very difficult to urinate or cause dribbling after you urinate. You may feel the need to urinate a lot, often at night. See your family doctor for an exam. Treatments for BPH include:
Acute bacterial prostatitis usually starts suddenly from a bacterial infection. It can cause fever, chills, or pain. It might hurt when you urinate, or you may see blood in your urine. See your doctor right away. He or she can prescribe medicine to make you feel better.
Chronic bacterial prostatitis is an infection that comes back again and again. This is a rare problem that can be hard to treat. Sometimes taking antibiotics for a long time may work. Talk with your doctor about other things you can do to help you feel better.
Chronic prostatitis, also called Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS), is a common prostate problem. It can cause pain in the lower back, in the groin area, or at the tip of the penis. Men with this problem often have painful ejaculation. They may feel the need to urinate frequently, but pass only a small amount of urine. Treating this condition may require a combination of medicines, surgery, and lifestyle changes.
Some doctors think that men younger than 75 should have yearly PSA tests; others do not. Not all prostate cancers are life-threatening, and treatments can cause side effects. Sometimes high PSA levels can be caused by infections, BPH, or small cancers that may not grow or spread. Your doctor may prefer "watchful waiting" until there are signs that treatment is needed. Researchers are studying ways to improve the PSA test so that it detects only cancers that need treatment.
Prostate cancer is common among American men. Your chance of getting prostate cancer may be affected by your:
At the start, prostate cancer does not cause symptoms. As the cancer grows, you may have trouble urinating. Some men need to urinate often, especially at night. Others have pain or burning during urination, blood in the urine or semen, pain in the back, hips, or pelvis, and painful ejaculation.
To find out if these symptoms are caused by prostate cancer, your doctor will ask about your past medical problems and your family's medical history. He or she will perform a physical exam. During the exam, your doctor will put a gloved finger into your rectum to feel your prostate for hard or lumpy areas.
Your doctor may also do a blood test to check the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level. PSA levels can be high in men with an enlarged prostate gland or with prostate cancer. You may also need an ultrasound exam that takes computer pictures of the prostate.
If tests show that you might have cancer, your doctor will want to confirm this with a biopsy. He or she will take out tiny pieces of the prostate to look for cancer cells. Your doctor may want to do a biopsy again to re-check the results.
Treatment for prostate cancer depends on whether cancer is in part or all of the prostate or if it has spread to other parts of the body. It also depends on your age and overall health. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment choice for you. You may want to ask another doctor for a second opinion.
For cancer that has not spread from the prostate to other parts of the body, your doctor may suggest:

What kind of treatment did you have for your prostate problem?Post View 1 Comment
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH or enlarged prostate) is very common in men over 50 years of age. Half of all men over the age of 50 develop symptoms of BPH, but few need medical treatment. This noncancerous enlargement of the prostate can impede urine flow, slow the flow of urine, create the urge to urinate frequently and cause other symptoms like complete blockage of urine and urinary tract infections. More serious symptoms are urinary tract infections (UTIs) and complete blockage of the urethra, which may be a medical emergency.
BPH is not cancer. Not all men with the condition need treatment, and usually is closely monitored if no symptoms are present. Treatment measures usually are reserved for men with significant symptoms, and can include medications, surgery, microwave therapy, and laser procedures. Men can prevent prostate problems by having regular medical checkups that include a prostate exam. Contact your doctor or other medical professional if you have these symptoms:

Remember when I "read" The Hobbit?
I've finally seen the second movie.
This second act is even less based on a true story. They weren't chased into the cabin by a great beast. We're missing the really long trek through the forest where they run into the wood elves several times. Added that whole section of Gandolf's adventures. There are… No Orcs. No Orlando Bloom. No love interest. No healing magic. No hiding on the boat. No dwarf left behind. No fighting Smaug. Not one bit of fighting Smaug.
Lots of noes.
In fact, the scene where our little burglar meets the terrible dragon was much better in the book. Yes, you heard me right, I like that section in the book. Of course, I could just be remembering with fondness that part of the animated movie which was word-for-word from the book.
Anywho, the movie was definitely a different tone from the first – dark, dangerous… and a little bit of romance.
I'm finding I'm not inclined to rewatch it as it plays on cable, certainly not like I do the first. Oh, look, An Unexpected Journey is on. *Click* Cool, it's the part of the Thunder Battle. (I love that part with the giants fighting. Really, though, in the book, they were just playing games, not fighting.)
Now, the armies are assembling and a Great Battle is coming. We shall see who lives and who dies. ( No, really. The book is very specific on who dies but it's anyone's guess for the movie.)

The GameCity festival takes place during October at venues across Nottingham city centre, including
the Old Market Square, Nottingham Trent University's Newton Building and Nottingham Contemporary art gallery.
GameCity, a Nottingham Trent University project, previously used the two giant screens in Nottingham's Old Market Square. These formed the festival centrepiece and featured groundbreaking gaming experiences, like Martin (GoldenEye, Perfect Dark) Hollis' ambitious Aim For Love, which was the subject of an interview feature on EDGE Online.
Additional coverage highlights included a feature in Wired on the results of the first Off The Map student competition organised by GameCity with Crytek and The British Library. Digital Spy also revealed the nominated games for the GameCity Prize, and additional coverage appeared in Eurogamer, VG247, CVG, Develop and The Guardian.
The UK's first wedding to feature a zombie bride and groom was the centerpiece of the celebrations for the launch of new zombie videogame, Dead Island Riptide™.
Jennifer Blackmore (nee Jones) and Rob Blackmore became the official Dead Island Riptide zombie wedding bride and groom after entering a competition on Facebook, and beat off dozens of applicants by impressing the judges with their genuine love for each other, and enthusiasm for the Dead Island franchise.
Dead Good formulated the PR plan from conception through to execution, focusing on the development of strong picture and video content to ensure that the story was as compelling as possible for mainstream media. The story went global with coverage for the event and game brand across print, online and broadcast. Highlights included the likes of The Sun, Mirror, ITV, Daily Mail, Metro, BBC Radio and NBC News.
Dead Good also won two Game Connection Europe Marketing Awards 2013 for its work on the PR for the zombie wedding.

Paul Middleton, author of A Brief Guide to the End of Oil, has written this piece for us about how Britain's attitude towards energy consumption has changed under Blair's governance; and what the future holds for Britain under Brown.
So Mr. Blair is off, a man determined to watch the sun go down on his decade in power with a cheesy grin and a firmly held belief that Britain, and indeed the rest of the world, is better off than when he started. And while it is true that we have – and here the royal we refers only to Brits – enjoyed a sustained period of economic growth does it follow that Mr. Blair's legacy will be un-ending economic joy? Of course not. Legacy is not so much about the past but the future; it is something that is handed down to the next generation. But what is it that we're getting?

Presenting is how you deliver your curriculum and share results with your stakeholders. These are some of the top FREE tools being used in the field for classroom lessons, newsletters and more.
Google Slides
Google Slides are as easy to use as PowerPoint but are online so they can be easily used collaboratively, embedded or shared.
Mary McCormac, elementary school counselor says:
"I used Google Slides to create a shared slide show with all the elementary counselors in our district. Every page has a picture of the school and a picture of the counselor. I designed the template page and just duplicated it for each school. We have eight new counselors this year so it was a way for everyone to introduce themselves and remains in our Google Drive in case we forget who someone is at a meeting. It helped us get to know one another and make connections (home town, where our counseling degree is from, area of expertise)."
Haiku Deck
Haiku Deck is a powerful image-based presentation tool. Use this when you intend for pictures to speak louder than words; it's great for slideshows, as a digital scrapbook, for celebrating special events or for starting a conversation with pictures.
Susan Spellman Cann, high school counsellor says:
"Haiku Deck is extremely visually appealing, creative, fun, and an easy tool to use. I love that it has a creative commons license built in so that students don't need to worry about giving attribution and neither do I - it's is already built into this great app! Haiku Deck allows you to tell a story in a way that other tools don't seem to be able to."
Prezi is a dynamic presentation tool that many use as a substitute for traditional tools like PowerPoint. Prezi has easy sharing and collaboration capabilities and can create greater audience engagement with its zooming features.
Franciene Sabens, high school counselor says:
"Pretty much anything you would use a PowerPoint for, you can do with Prezi. I use Prezi to create presentations that keep my high schoolers awake and engaged during school counseling core curriculum lessons, even with dry topics like test interpretation. Prezis can also be embedded into websites. I have also created a course pre-registration Prezi with a voice-over that teachers showed to our students while I was out of the building."
Carol Miller, middle school counselor says:
"I love Emaze because there are many templates to choose from and it is more interactive than a traditional PowerPoint presentation. I have used Emaze for several conference presentations and the handouts that you can print are very professional looking. I highly recommend Emaze to anyone wanting a high quality presentation program that is easy to use."

|Itzchak Aloni by Ross, 1964. Source: Ha'Lochem: Izhak (sic) Aloni (The Winner: Itzchak Aloni), by Shlomo Kandelshine, p. 116.
It seems odd, but no widely-available database or web page seems to have Itzhak Aloni's exact date of death. Nor does Jeremy Gaige's Chess Personalia, still the most reliable and complete source -- which gives his exact date of birth and birth name (Izak Schaechter) -- has a death date except for "1985". (Note 13/9/2014: a reader notes that the correct Polish-language spelling of the name, which would be the language the birth certificate was written in, would be 'Izaak').
The date is given by Shlomo Kandelshine in the same book noted above, on p. 35. Aloni died on June 2nd, 1985, and was buried in Holon, Israel. Perhaps the lack of an exact date of death is due to the fact that the only sources giving it are in Hebrew.
Ironically, Shachmat, the Israeli Chess Federation's journal, had to announce his passing in the August 1985 issue -- right after celebrating his 80th birthday with a career retrospective in the previous two issues.
As said before, for consistency's sake I use Gaige's "Itzchak", but notes he was born "Izak". Kandelshine prefers "Izhak" in the English title of his book. All of these are simply variants of יצחק (Isaac). Think of Victor Korchnoi, Viktor Korchnoj, etc. for Ви́ктор Корчно́й.
Incidentally, Schaechter is a Yiddish name which means "kosher butcher". Aloni changed his name to 'Aloni' -- literally, '[like an] oak tree' -- when he was in a kibbutz in Palestine in 1943 (Kandelshine, p. 14). Changing one's foreign-sounding name to a Hebrew one was quite common among immigrants to Palestine and, later, Israel, until the 1960s. Porat, Oren, Aloni and many other chess players of those generations did so.

You never know when you're going to be on a burning plane, careening down towards an alligator infested lake. It's just one of those things. Provided you survive the crash and are given enough time to get your bearings however, having the above Henry U.S. Survival AR-7 rifle in your backpack could help you wade your way through the gators and to some kind of safety. At just (just 3.5 lbs) and 16 ½" long when stowed, you'll barely even know it's there. Several layers of Teflon coating help with the waterproofing, even in harsh saltwater environments. It uses .22 LR ammunition, which is lightweight and fairly easy to carry in large numbers. It's available in camo or black finishes and surprisingly doesn't cost very much: $339 in camo and $275 in black.

Harvesting rainwater can enable industrial companies with sufficient roof space to dramatically reduce their use of potable water for nonpotable applications, easing the strain on municipalities that have to provide ever-increasing volumes of potable water, says specialist precast concrete products manufacturer Rocla.
Rocla is a division of infrastructure and mining products group the Infrastructure Specialist Group (ISG).
ISG sales engineer Justin Kretzmar says the vast use of potable water in South Africa for applications where nonpotable water can be used is worrisome, with many water conservation groups and water engineering firms warning that the country, with its vast majority of arid regions, might soon face water shortages and, by implication, water restrictions. Water rationing has already been implemented in KwaZulu-Natal.
Engineering consulting firm Gibb held a roundtable discussion about water resources last month, during which it suggested that water shortages constituted a looming problem for South Africa, owing to poorly maintained infrastructure resulting in water being wasted.
However, harvesting and storing rainwater in concrete tanks can provide nonpotable, but suitable, water for applications such as washing garbage bins, watering gardens, flushing toilets and laundry services, Kretzmar says.
Municipalities can also use harvested rainwater to water public parks, in street-sweeping applications and for firefighting.
Kretzmar says concrete tanks are the preferred water storage option, as opposed to plastic tanks, owing to the below-ground concrete tanks' low temperatures and lack of light, which inhibit the growth of bacteria. Lime in concrete tanks also helps to neutralise the acidity of rainwater.
Water Harvesting Examples
Kretzmar says the Moses Mabida stadium, in KwaZulu-Natal, is a noteworthy example of rainwater harvesting, with rain that falls onto the roof of the stadium being collected and used to irrigate the fields.
He notes that some developed nations have embraced water harvesting, with significant benefits. The Australian city of Sydney harvests rainwater from the bulk of the city's stormwater drainage network, storing the water in large dams and tanks for reuse.
This makes the city more environment friendly as less water is wasted. In general, using harvested stormwater also eases the strain on existing infrastructure, such as treatment plants and pumps, and reduces maintenance, owing to lighter workloads or greater distribution of existing supply capacity.
About 70 projects across the Sydney region are collecting and reusing stormwater. These projects collect more than 1.3-billion litres of water a year, equal to the amount of water contained in 520 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Further, the evacuation of stormwater into canals or rivers becomes less intensive, owing to the stormwater being stored in purpose-built reservoirs when harvesting rainwater. Subsequently, the risks associated with flash flooding are also mitigated.
Rainfall Attenuation
Another solution to prevent flash flooding and water pooling in urban areas during heavy rainfall is water attenuation.
Increasing urbanisation and paved surfaces, increase the likelihood of flash flooding, owing to stormwater having limited access to seep into underground water tables and rivers through underground means.
Kretzmar notes that a natural area, such as the bushveld, allows for only 2% to 3% runoff when it rains, while the rest of the stormwater seeps through the grass and sand. This is good because it prevents soil and riverbank erosion caused by large volumes of water.
"Once an area has been developed, with buildings that have large roofs and paved and/or surfaced areas, the amount of runoff drastically increases – in some cases by as much as 75%," he says. This puts strain on stormwater systems and leads to the banks of rivers overflowing and water in dams overflowing.
For this purpose, Rocla provides a number of solutions, including attenuation tanks and permeable paving.
Rocla's water attenuation tanks are temporary storage tanks that collect rainfall and slowly release the stormwater into the environment of developed areas in a way that is similar to predevelopment levels of release.
The tanks have a large inlet to allow for large volumes of water to enter, with a significantly smaller outlet to restrict and moderate the flow of water into the environment. This allows the discharged water time to seep into the ground without breaking rivers' and dams' banks or flooding low-lying areas.
Meanwhile, concrete products company Technicrete's (also a division of ISG) permeable paving allows for rainfall to seep into the ground, without any compromises of the load-carrying capability of a typical brick.
The paving contains widened joints, which enables the water to enter and, subsequently, find its way into the natural underground water tables. This prevents runoff and dramatically improves the drying time of a paved area after rain.
Shopping centres and taxi ranks can especially benefit from permeable paving as shoppers, pedestrians and passengers can walk on damp paving without having to navigate pools of water that accumulate in low-lying areas of normal paved surfaces.
Kretzmar says the uptake of Rocla's rainwater-harvesting and attenuation solutions has received some support from industrial clients wanting to improve their green credentials.
He notes that these clients are pursuing these measures on their own accord, with little to no pressure from government on industrial companies to install rainwater-harvesting or attenuation tanks.
Kretzmar adds that municipal authorities do stipulate water attenuation requirements, but says that, in recent instances, the engineers and clients are keen to move away from attenuation dams and, alternatively, towards more elegant and effective systems.
