Wheezing is a high-pitched whistling sound during breathing. It occurs when air moves through narrowed breathing tubes.
Alternative Names
Sibilant rhonchi
Wheezing is a sign that a person may be having breathing problems. The sound of wheezing is most obvious when breathing out (exhaling), but may be heard when taking a breath (inhaling).
Wheezing most often comes from the small breathing tubes (bronchial tubes) deep in the chest, but it may be due to a blockage in larger airways or in persons with certain vocal cord problems.
Common Causes
- Breathing a foreign object into the lungs
Bronchiectasis Bronchiolitis Bronchitis
- Emphysema (COPD), especially when a respiratory infection is present
Gastroesophageal reflux disease
- Heart failure (cardiac asthma)
- Insect sting that causes an
allergic reaction
- Medications (particularly aspirin)
- Smoking
- Viral infection, especially in infants younger than age 2
Home Care
Always take all of your medications as directed.
Sitting in an area where there is moist, heated air may help relieve some symptoms. This can be done byrunning a hot shower or using a vaporizer.
Call your health care provider if
Call your health care provider if:
- Wheezing occurs for the first time
- Wheezing occurs with significant
shortness of breath, bluish skin, confusion, or mental status changes
- Wheezing keeps occurring without explanation
- Wheezing is caused by an allergic reaction to a bite or medication
If wheezing is severe or occurs with severe shortness of breath, you may have to go directly to the nearest emergency department.
What to expect at your health care providers office
The doctor or nurse will perform a physical examination and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, including:
- When did the wheezing begin?
- How long does it last?
- When and how often does it occur?
- Is it worse at night or in the early morning?
- What does the wheezing sound like?
- Does it make breathing difficult?
- What seems to cause it?
- Eating certain foods?
- Taking certain medications?
- Do any of the following things make it worse?
- Being around pollens, insects, dust, chemicals (perfumes, cosmetics)
- Being in cold air
- Exercise
- Sickness (such as a cold or the flu)
- Stress
- Does it go away without treatment?
- What helps relieve it?
- Rest?
- Medications such as bronchodilators?
- Do you have any other symptoms, such as:
- Bluish color to lips or nails
Coughing Fever Loss of consciousness Loss of voice
- Panic or confusion
- Puffy, red eyes
- Stuffy nose
Swellingof the lips or tongue
- Did you have an episode of
- Did you have an insect bite?
- Do you have a history of
asthmaor allergies?
- What medications do you take?
- Have you been around tobacco smoke?
- Have you recently been sick?
The physical examination may include listening to the lung sounds (
Tests that may be done include:
- Blood work, possibly including arterial blood gases
Chest x-ray
- Lung function tests
A hospital stay may be needed if:
- Breathing is particularly difficult
- Medicines need to be given through a vein (IV)
- Supplemental oxygen is required
- The person needs to be closely watched by medical personnel

DailyDirt: Parents, Don't Let Your Kids Grow Up To Be Cowboys...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Intrinsic motivation should be what drives kids to study hard and be diligent with chores. However, there are plenty of parents that try to bribe (or just pay) their kids when they've gotten good grades or mowed the lawn. Do kids learn how to be more responsible when they get paid -- or do they learn to expect a payment for every little task? Perhaps it depends on the type of task. [url]
- Parental cultures vary quite significantly around the world. It's not uncommon for Vietnamese mothers to potty train kids by 9 months. Norwegian kids take naps in strollers outside in freezing weather. In the Polynesian Islands, toddlers take care of babies. [url]
- Parenting advice is everywhere -- telling parents not to praise their kids too much.. or to let them play with matches occasionally. Kids certainly do need to learn how to fend for themselves at some point, but between the extremes of helicopter parenting and "Lord of the Flies" parenting, there should probably be a nice middle ground.

Bergdahl Meets With Army General Investigating His Disappearance
Two Months After Being Freed by Taliban, Bergdahl Gets First Chance to Tell His Story
WASHINGTON—Two months after being freed by the Taliban in a controversial prisoner-exchange deal, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl got his first chance Wednesday to tell the story of his capture and five years in captivity.
Sgt. Bergdahl met for the first time with the U.S. Army general investigating his disappearance from an Afghanistan Army outpost. Eugene Fidell, Sgt. Bergdahl's private attorney, said the Army sergeant discussed his case for several hours at a Texas military base....

Create a timeline for a female ancestor using your favorite software program or an online timeline generator such as OurTimelines. Post an image of it or link.
I did this, but I couldn't figure out how to show an image and the link I tried was just to the website.
Do you share any physical resemblance or personality trait with one of your female ancestors? Who? What is it?
People tell me that I look a lot like my mother. We also sound a lot alike on the phone. I have also been told that I have my grandma Joan's strong will and my grandma Pat's ability to cook.

A sequel to Catherine isn't in the cards, according to Atlus.
Their kinda busy with Persona 5 atm. Plus Atlus's "Persona Team" (the makers of Catherine) never make real "sequels". Their stories always conclude. Even in Persona games, eac one is a brand new story. They might make another similar game to Catherine (another block-puzzle based Romance/Morality-based game) but it won't be called Catherine. That game is done. They will probably start with a new cast of characters so they can have more freedom with where the story can go, instead of unnecessarily dragging Catherine's story on with a sequel.
I don't think a sequel is necessary, it's a good game on its own, it doesn't need to become a franchise and quite frankly, I'm not sure it would gain much by doing so.
On the other hand, I would enjoy either a 3DS or Vita port (most a Vita one since it would be able to keep the original content mostly intact).
I dont mind as long as they make "The Golden Playhouse" a series, that way "No Chaterine sequel" is null void.
how can there be a sequel to a game with such an ending? even the golden playhouse wouldnt work since thats also tied to catherine story
IDC right now, just give me my Persona 5!
(JBTW, I love Catherine and most other Atlus games xP)

A new bill introduced on Thursday by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) seeks to put an end to price gouging through the use of data caps by Internet service providers.
Dubbed the Data Cap Integrity Act (DCIA), the bill would require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to establish standards for how ISPs measure network traffic, and give the Commission the power to ensure that data caps are not put in place for the sole purpose of generating income. Instead, data caps would only be allowed for managing network congestion.
In addition, the DCIA would require ISPs to provide tools to customers that allow them to monitor and manage their own data consumption in real time. It also mandates that ISPs must explain how customer data usage information applies to "the terms of the data cap" instituted by a consumer's ISP.
"Internet use is central to our lives and to our economy. Future innovation will undoubtedly require consumers to use more and more data – data caps should not impede this innovation and the jobs it creates," said Wyden in a statement. "This bill is intended to help consumers manage their data more effectively and ensure that data caps are used only to serve the legitimate purpose of addressing congestion."
To regulate data caps, DCIA would further enhance the FCC's Net neutrality rules, stating that ISPs may not "provide preferential treatment of data that is based on the source or the content of the data." This would, for example, prohibit ISPs like Comcast from placing caps on the streaming of videos from Netflix, while instituting no such caps for videos played through its own Xfinity app.
Sen. Wyden's introduction of DCIA follows the release of a study by the New America Foundation, which found that data caps, especially those on home Internet connections, "are hardly necessary." Instead, wrote NAF, these data caps "are motivated by a desire to further increase revenues from existing subscribers and protect legacy services such as cable television from competing Internet services."
The DCIA is sure to meet intense opposition from the ISP industry, which has repeatedly argued that the FCC does not have the authority to regulate the Internet because the global network has not been officially classified as a "telecommunications" service. Libertarian "open Internet" advocates who believe the FCC should not regulate Internet companies have already come out against Wyden's bill, saying that data caps help keep the price down for light Internet users, while rightfully placing more financial burdens on those with high data consumption.
Some ISPs have taken the fight against Net neutrality even further. Verizon, for example, filed a brief in federal court earlier this year arguing that the FCC's Net neutrality principles violated the U.S. Constitution because "broadband networks are the modern-day microphone by which their owners engage in First Amendment speech."
Republicans in Congress have also come out against the FCC's Net neutrality rules. Last year, House Speak John Boehner (R-OH) vowed to put an end to the rules.
What do you think of Sen. Wyden's bill? Are data caps for the sole purpose of generating income fair to consumers? Let us know what you think.

SANTEE, Calif. (AP) — Calling their deaths "an abomination," a priest memorialized a California mother and young son killed by a family friend who also abducted the woman's 16-year-old daughter.
Saturday's service for Christina Anderson and 8-year-old Ethan Anderson at the Guardian Angels Roman Catholic Church in Santee was open to the public.
"For the death of Tina and Ethan there are no easy words," the Rev. Kevin Casey told the memorial gathering, according to the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/157LSe3 ). "We are touched by this evil and we can never be the same again."
The pair were found at the home of James Lee DiMaggio, who set it ablaze earlier this month and then took off with Hannah Anderson. The tearful teenager entered the church carrying a blown-up photo of her mother and brother. Their remains, and those of the family dog that was found shot to death in the burning house, were blessed by a priest during the service.
DiMaggio was killed by FBI agents Aug. 10 in the Idaho wilderness, ending a six-day search that spanned much of the western United States and parts of Canada and Mexico.
Authorities have declined to discuss a possible motive in the deaths and haven't addressed other details of the case, including how Hannah was treated by DiMaggio during the ordeal.
"We struggle with deaths like this because they are not right. They are an abomination," Casey said.
Investigators have said DiMaggio set fire to his home using a timer, giving him a 20-hour jump on law enforcement.
DiMaggio's family has requested paternity tests to determine if the suspect fathered the children.
Hannah's father, Brett Anderson, gave his DNA to investigators to confirm Ethan's identity. DiMaggio named Hannah's grandmother, Bernice Anderson, as the sole beneficiary of his employer-issued life insurance policy, making her eligible to receive $112,000.

The new ReactOS newsletter has been published. "Currently the main development branch "trunk" even though it has many new features and bug fixes since 0.3.0, it currently has several issues that prevent it from being relatively useful. Furthermore functionality that once worked no longer does, this is called a regression. Until trunk has been reasonably fixed 0.3.1 will not be released. Be assured that the developers are working hard on fixing the current issues and bringing forth a good public release as soon as humanly possible."

How We Thrive in Community
For us, a big part of maintaining a global business footprint is continuously making a conscious effort to create positive impacts in the communities where we work and live.
Corporate Social Responsibility
We understand that social problems require solutions created by many people working together within a larger system – a system not unlike the internal operations at Equifax where we do not function separately but together to achieve our goals.
Our community engagement approach looks beyond our philanthropic resources to leverage our business competencies. What this looks like in practice is:
- An investment of millions in Equifax Foundation dollars around the world
- Hundreds of thousands of dollars in matching gifts annually to support our employees' passion for non-profit work
- Innovative "boots on the ground" economic development initiatives in Atlanta and St. Louis that take a collaborative approach to growing these areas with resources that include small business support, workforce development, innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities, as well as general financial tools and education
- Volunteer blitz events as well as teams dedicated to supporting the efforts of core community partners year after year
- Fostering catalytic community partnerships focused on providing consumers and the communities in which they live with the knowledge and information they need to be at their very best.
Global Effort
Abroad, our widespread international offices continually engage in a variety of amazing activities to help support causes and projects that align with the needs of their local communities. Their efforts focus on environmental issues, social welfare, community relations, and nutrition & education for underprivileged youth.
Some highlights of our teams in action include:
With a focus on protecting the environment, we support "Equidad" (www.equidad.com), which has a network of people sharing knowledge and best practices for social development via the use of information technology and the recycling of obsolete materials.
United Kingdom
We raised $130,000 at our charity ball for the Children's Bereavement Center in Nottinghamshire, England. The largest one-off item sold was an Olympic Torch from the 2012 games that went for $23,000. The event included over 250 colleagues, clients and suppliers.
United Kingdom
In October, the London charity committee hosts a 'Rugby World Cup' social night. The evening supports Theodora's 'giggle doctors' hospital, which provides much-needed laughter and fun for sick children.
We support "Casa de la Amistad" (House of Friendship), a regional nonprofit for low-income children with cancer. We matched employee donations with an additional percentage from our foundation.
We formed a special program to help young people get their first job in the Paraguayan job market. The new program provides 100 students per year with training after graduation.
With the help of our volunteers, our collaboration with the Junior Achievement Foundation has helped improve the education of more than 500 children and young people in Spain. This scheme, aimed to combat absenteeism, help them acquire new skills and knowledge, as well as create more opportunities for their employability in the future.

Quote: He's back! From the filmmakers that brought you Chucky comes the terrifying return of the pint-sized doll possessed by the spirit of a notorious serial killer. When a mysterious package arrives at the house of Nica (Fiona Dourif), she doesn't give it much thought. However, after her mother's mysterious death, Nica begins to suspect that the talking, red-haired doll her visiting niece has been playing with may be the key to the ensuing bloodshed and chaos. The return of America's favorite toy, voiced again by Brad Dourif, is unrated and full of more blood-splattered thrills and chills.

I think ill get the complete series box set. I only have seed of chucky on dvd and been meaning to get the others so this is probably a good time to do so. Also Amazon has the set at 50 bucks which makes each movie under $10. So pretty good deal if you want to get all the movies at once. I read the first mvoie is the 25th aniversary dvd that came out and the 2 and 3rd are the orginal releases and seed and bride are the most recent releases. I just got that info from someones comment on Amazon so take it for what it is.
CGI Chucky!
Did the Chucky doll get possessed by Newt Gingrich?
no... way... lmao
i'm getting the box set for sure, seems i'll have to order it from amazon.com since its US only though. but even if this one sucks, i like the first 5 so its a no lose situation for me.
but yeah the animatronics definitely look cheaper this time, not surprising considering its DTV but still disappointing. though he looks cool in the shot where he seems to have dark circles around his eyes so maybe there's hope.

Chucky's head doesnt look right LOL
I don't know about this. I saw the trailer today and I can't quite make heads or tails about this. If that's not enough, it looks like they're lacking the dark comedy that made the first 5 movies entertaining. I'll rent it from Redbox 4 weeks after it comes out to see if I'm wrong.

This weeks Blog of the Week is
I found this site through 'Stumbleupon" and I am so glad I did.
Now here is a cooking blog with a difference. Firstly it is put together by François-Xavier (FX) who is a French-speaking Swiss man living on the shores of Lake Geneva, an hour from both France and Italy. Already I am totally jealous and intrigued. And secondly the recipes and articles are accompanied by great photos with full descriptions on how to achieve the desired result.
I was captivated immediately by the intriguing banner and then my eye travelled down the page to all the interesting recipes and articles.
There are so many interesting recipes such as the Daube de beu saintongeaise or Beef with carrots or the Pumpkin Gnocchis, a recipe I must try as I have never been able to perfect this dish. For a refreshing yogurt salad try the Indian Raita
One article that I found to be very interesting, having lived on a farm where we killed our own meat was about the killing of the pigs. This article may be disturbing to some and you are warned before reading it that there are graphic pictures of a pig being slaughtered in the Moldavian manner.
FXcuisine is a veritable feast for the senses.

'The Amazing Race' is unstoppable once more
If you are a reality show, don't bother to campaign for an Emmy. "The Amazing Race" will beat you. It's lost the category only once, in 2010. It won again this year. "Top Chef" beat it once, but that was because "Race" had gotten lazy, careless. It won't happen again. "Race" won't let it.

Patients with celiac disease have an elevated risk for lymphoproliferative malignancies, particularly if they have persistent villous atrophy, a population-based cohort study found.
Compared with the general population, the standardized incidence ratio for lymphoproliferative malignancy among patients with celiac disease was 2.81 (95% CI 2.10-3.67), according to Benjamin Lebwohl, MD, of Columbia University in New York, and colleagues.
And for those who continued to have villous atrophy of the intestinal mucosa, the standardized incidence ratio was 3.78 (95% CI 2.71-5.12), the researchers reported in the August 6 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine.
Previous studies have suggested that patients with celiac disease are at increased risk for lymphomas, and although the precise reason for this isn't clear, it may relate to ongoing villous atrophy in some patients, particularly those who fail to adhere to a gluten-free diet.
Because current guidelines don't clarify whether patients should have a follow-up biopsy to confirm mucosal healing, and to estimate the risk for malignancy among those with persistent villous atrophy, Lebwohl and colleagues analyzed data and biopsy reports from Sweden's pathology departments for the years 1969 to 2008.
They identified 7,625 patients who had a follow-up biopsy between 6 months and 5 years after having had an initial diagnostic biopsy.
Almost two-thirds were women, and the median age at the time of diagnosis was 25.
A total of 43% had evidence of ongoing villous atrophy on the second biopsy.
During a median follow-up time of 9 years after the second biopsy, 53 patients (0.7%) were diagnosed with a lymphoproliferative malignancy. The incidence in the overall group was 67.9 per 100,000 patient-years.
In contrast, the incidence in those with ongoing villous atrophy was 102.4 per 100,000, the researchers reported.
Multivariate analysis adjusting for age, sex, education, and duration of disease found a hazard ratio for lymphoproliferative malignancy of 2.26 (95% CI 1.18-4.34) among those with ongoing mucosal disease compared with those who had healing of the intestinal mucosa.
Among these patients with persistent villous atrophy, the higher risk was most prominent during the first 12 months after the follow-up biopsy, with a hazard ratio of 3.67 (95% CI 0.80-16.86), decreasing to 1.99 (95% CI 0.79-4.97) after 5 years.
"In some patients, persistent villous atrophy may reflect a gradual healing process, and a future biopsy may show mucosal healing," the researchers explained.
Specific subtypes of disease that were associated with higher risk when villous atrophy persisted were non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (HR 2.82, 95% CI 1.29-6.17, P=0.009) and unspecified non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (HR 4.31, 95% CI 1.27-14.61, P=0.019).
There also was an increase in risk, although nonsignificant, for T-cell lymphoma (HR 3.51, 95% CI 0.75-16.34, P=0.110).
An additional factor that was associated with greater risk was biopsy evidence of total or subtotal villous atrophy (HR 3.96, 95% CI 1.65-9.50), which was particularly pronounced in patients with T-cell lymphoma, who had nine times the risk (HR 9.23, 95% CI 1.66-51.34).
"Our finding of an association between persistent villous atrophy and risk for [lymphoproliferative malignancy] supports the practice of performing follow-up biopsy as a complement to dietary assessment," Lebwohl and colleagues observed.
"This study shows that the results of the follow-up biopsy matter," Lebwohl told MedPage Today.
"The result of the follow-up biopsy may spur the patient to improve dietary adherence, which will eventually diminish the increased risk," they suggested.
The study did have limitations, including a lack of information about gluten avoidance and the possibility of inadequate statistical power and reverse causality.
The researchers also didn't consider the economic effects of repeat biopsies, "and a cost-benefit analysis about this approach is warranted."
Nonetheless, "these findings should prompt further evaluation of mucosal healing as a goal for patients with [celiac disease] to reduce their risk for [lymphoproliferative malignancy]," the researchers concluded.
The study was supported by various organizations including the National Institutes of Health, the Swedish Research Council, the Celiac Sprue Association, and the Swedish Research Council.

A Jones County man has been accused of sexual behavior with dogs, officials said Tuesday.
A Jones County man has been accused of engaging in sexual behavior with dogs, officials said Tuesday.
Marc David Harpel, 30, of Emmett Lane in Maysville, was charged Monday by the Jones County Sheriff�s Office with seven counts each of felony crimes against nature and misdemeanor solicitation for crimes against nature, according to a press release from the Jones County Sheriff�s Office.
On Nov. 15, the Jones County Child Protective Services Deputy received information from a concerned citizen accusing Harpel of engaging in sexual behavior with neighborhood dogs, as well as viewing internet pornography in front of his minor children, according to the release.
The accusations against Harpel were investigated by the sheriff�s office, which said investigators found enough evidence to support multiple felony charges of crimes against nature. Harpel is accused of sexually assaulting at least two dogs, including one female pit bull, and using the Internet to ask other individuals to join him in committing sexual acts with dogs, Capt. J.T. Eimer of the Jones County Sheriff�s Office said.
Harpel is a staff sergeant in the Marine Corps based at Camp Lejeune.
The Marine Corps had previously issued a military protective order on Nov. 20, followed by the issuance of an N.C. Domestic Violence Protective Order on Nov. 21, to protect Harpel�s spouse and children after he allegedly made threats against them, according to the release. Marine Corps authorities ordered that Harpel be temporarily confined to the base brig aboard Camp Lejeune as a precautionary measure, according to the release.
Base officials turned Harpel over to the sheriff�s office on Monday and he was placed in the Jones County Jail under a $14,000 secured bond, according to the release.
�The Marine Corps has been cooperating with the authorities as soon as it learned of this incident,� 2nd Marine Division officials said in a statement. �The actions of Staff Sgt. Harpel are contrary to the high standards of personal conduct and performance expected of Marines and will not be tolerated. The overwhelming majority of Marines conduct their duties with honor and compassion that brings credit upon the Marine Corps and the United States.�
Harpel is an infantry unit leader assigned to 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines, 2nd Marine Division. He joined the Marine Corps in July 2001 and was promoted to his current rank in January. He has deployed multiple times, most recently in support of Operation Enduring Freedom from December to May, according to a press release from 2nd Marine Division.
The Jones County Animal Crimes Unit will be pursuing additional animal cruelty charges against Harpel, and as the investigation is ongoing, additional criminal charges may follow, according to the release.
Eimer said the sheriff's office is not expecting to make additional arrests, and Harpel does not appear to own any dogs of his own at this time.
The Jones County Sheriff�s Office is working in conjunction with Camp Lejeune�s Provost Marshal�s Office Criminal Investigation Division, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, as well as other base authorities.

Rafa Nadal won an unconvincing second straight Madrid Open title after Kei Nishikori sustained a back injury when closing on victory in the second set of Sunday's final and was forced to retire early in the third.
Japan's Nishikori, the 10th seed and one of the game's rising talents, made a blistering start on Nadal's favoured clay to win the first set 6-2 and was a break up in the second and serving at 4-3 when disaster struck.
After a long rally with the score at 15-30, the Japanese pulled up clutching his back and Nadal went on to win the game and the set 6-4 to force a decider.
In a tremendously disappointing finish to an entertaining encounter, Nishikori could barely walk to the net to shake hands after Nadal had raced into a 3-0 lead in the third.
"It was my hip and actually everywhere after the second set, my legs were hurting too much," Nishikori, who came through a gruelling three-set semi-final against David Ferrer, told a news conference.
"It was very sad, especially as I was winning, playing almost the best tennis in my life," added the 24-year-old, contesting his first Masters 1000 final and fresh from his debut title on clay in Barcelona last month.
"But there is some, you know, good side too. There is a lot of confidence I get from this tournament."
The premature end to Sunday's showpiece left the jury out on Nadal's form ahead of his bid for a record-extending ninth French Open singles title when the clay grand slam starts at the end of the month.
His latest triumph, his fourth Madrid crown, was the 27-year-old Majorcan's 63rd career title and 44th on clay, two short of Guillermo Vilas's all-time record of 46. He has 27 Masters titles, also a record.
However, he has struggled on the red dust this season, losing in the quarter-finals in Monte Carlo and Barcelona and there is a sense that his days as the king of Roland Garros may be numbered.
Certainly the way Nishikori dictated play in the early stages will have set alarm bells ringing but Nadal still has this week's Rome Masters to fine-tune his game before heading to Paris.
"There was some moments where, I don't know, I couldn't find myself," Nadal told a news conference.
"It wasn't that I didn't want to play or I was missing intensity, I was just mentally blocked," he added.
"When you're blocked, you just need a spark to go out there and compete again.
"I was just fighting because if I had the chance I was going to be there to take it."
Asked about his prospects for the French Open, Nadal added:
"Well, much better, of course. Whenever you win in sport, well, it's something basic. It's a vital part of sport.
"Even though I think that today I did a not so good first set, I think I did a great tournament. This is the reality of the situation."

I have had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) since March 2002. Both of my sons also got ME/CFS at ages 6 and 10. Our younger son fully recovered after 10 years of mild illness. Our older son still has ME/CFS and also has Lyme disease plus two other tick infections. This blog is about how our family lives with chronic illness, with a focus on improving our conditions and enjoying our lives in spite of these challenges.

Immune System Abnormalities in ME/CFS
Within the first year of getting sick, before I even had a diagnosis, I knew that some sort of immune system problem was at the heart of whatever this mystery illness was. I saw the same pattern, over and over again, with recurring symptoms like sore throat, flu-like aches, and congestion, but it was obvious these weren't colds - the symptom pattern was exactly the same every time, signaling the start of another relapse (you learn to instinctively call them crashes pretty early - it's the perfect description). One Infectious Disease doctor told me I was just catching a lot of viruses, but I had never in my life had two viruses that were exactly the same, and now I'd had a half dozen in a year. The only thing that made sense was that my immune system wasn't working correctly.
When I finally got my diagnosis of ME/CFS, a full year after getting sick, I was hungry for information and devoured everything I could find about CFS - in books, on websites, and through the other people I was gradually finding online. I discovered that my instincts had been correct and that a dysfunctional immune system is at the root of CFS. Although the exact cause of ME/CFS is still not known, its immune system abnormalities have been documented in dozens of research studies. Most experts agree that there is some sort of infectious agent that triggers immune system dysfunction and that the dysfunctional immune system is the engine that sustains the illness and causes a cascade of domino effects in the endocrine and nervous systems that lead to our substantial and disabling symptoms.
Most illnesses of the immune system fall into one of two categories. There are immune system deficiencies, like AIDS, where the immune system is suppressed and doesn't respond properly to infectious agents. On the other side, there are auto-immune diseases, like MS, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and others, where the immune system is over-active and not only over-reacts to infections but also attacks the body itself. Unfortunately, ME/CFS does not fit neatly into either of these categories. This means that established treatments for the two types of problems, such as treating auto-immune disease with steroids, don't usually work for people with ME/CFS).
One of the most fascinating things that I learned in that second year of illness was that ME/CFS has characteristics of both types of immune system disorder: parts of our immune system are over-active and parts of it are under-active. This is sometimes referred to as a Th1-Th2 imbalance or a Th2 dominance. Now, AP Biology was many years ago for me, so I'm no expert, but here is my understanding. The Th1 and Th2 referenced above refer to two different types of T-helper cells, part of the immune system. Th2 cells generally respond to viruses and allergens, among other things, while Th1 cells respond to bacterial infections (among other things).
ME/CFS is characterized by an imbalance, where our Th2 cells dominate. This means, in simple terms, that when someone with ME/CFS is exposed to viruses or allergens, our immune systems over-react, creating the kind of cold or flu-like immune response I described above, all signs that the immune system is responding (even in a healthy person, most viral symptoms are caused by the immune system response, not by the virus itself). This is why just being exposed to someone else's cold can cause a severe crash, even though we don't actually "catch" the cold and why many of us have problems with allergies and food intolerances.
On the other hand, with fewer Th1 cells around, our immune systems under-react when exposed to bacterial infections. This is why people with ME/CFS are extra-susceptible to sinus infections and bronchitis. For instance, Jamie and I rarely catch colds, but if one of us gets even a bit congested, it almost always leads to bronchitis, requiring treatment with antibiotics. In fact, I had to go to the doctor's office yesterday to get treated for a bladder infection!
This also explains why those of us with ME/CFS often have bad reactions to vaccines, causing lengthy relapses or even acting as the trigger that starts ME/CFS. It's not the fault of the vaccine: it did what it is designed to do and stimulated the immune system to create antibodies. But, with our overactive Th2 cells, we respond with a prolonged immune response (i.e. crash) that would not happen in a healthy person. I have long believed that allergy shots were the trigger for my own ME/CFS for this reason. I have also observed over the years, for both of my sons and me, that our worst, longest-lasting crashes are usually those triggered by exposure to a virus.
This is a VERY simplified explanation of what is happening in our immune systems. There have been lots and lots of research studies detailing dozens of different types of dysfunction in the immune systems of those with ME/CFS, and each of these problems causes other problems, in a cascade of cause-and-effect. People with ME/CFS generally have low Natural Killer Cell function and all sorts of problems with our cytokines (where levels of certain cytokines are high and others low). Much of this is beyond my understanding.
The best resource I have seen in all these years is an excellent article written by Dr. Nancy Klimas, published in 2007 in Current Rheumatology Reports, that details all of the known abnormalities in ME/CFS patients' immune systems and how these lead to dysfunction in the endocrine and nervous systems. The paper contains dozens and dozens of references to scientific research studies that document these abnormalities. Although much of the article is beyond my understanding, it is an excellent paper to print and hand out to doctors. I especially like to give this article to doctors who don't understand ME/CFS or don't believe it is real because it provides lots and lots of hard scientific facts on the physiological basis of ME/CFS. I think this one article alone can change the minds of skeptical medical professionals! You can look at an abstract of the article online or download a pdf file of the entire article (it's 6 pages long).
OK, so that is a very general overview of immune system abnormalities in ME/CFS (please remember that I am not an expert in this field - if you see I have made a mistake in this post or know of other information that might be helpful to others, please share it in the Comments section or send me an e-mail). I will try to explain how Immunovir has helped me in the next post. Now, time to make dinner...
(P.S. 1/18/12 Addendum: Since I wrote this post last week, I have done more reading on this subject and have found that some research papers explain the Th1-Th2 functions differently, stating that response to viruses is a Th1 function (for which we are underactive), not Th2. I don't know which explanation is correct, but the bottom line is still the same: people with ME/CFS have a Th1-Th2 imbalance which means that parts of our immune system over-respond and parts of our immune system under-react.)
See my new post on Treating ME/CFS with Immunovir for information on how I am treating the Th1-Th2 imbalance.

This is excellent, Sue and helpful even to me, who has been sick for so long. You are such a storehouse of info. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Renee. BTW, the Th2 dominance also explains why those of us with CFS have such difficulty getting rid of Lyme and other bacterial co-infections - our immune systems don't fully respond to them.ReplyDelete
What a great write up Sue! It was so helpful for me to read. I should know but I never understood the immune dysfunction involved.ReplyDelete
I feel like printing out your post and taking it to my next MD appt.
Thank you!
thanks for a very imformative post.
the TH reaction makes sense to me. i have been spending 8 years reducing the effects of mercury poisoning(dental amalgams).i never get sick but get bacterial side effects all the time. I am presently doing a 28 day course of infused ABX to try to get rid of a leaking elbow bursa sac.

thanks for the info in the blog which i think is similar to the views of Dr. Myhill in the UK and thanks again for your emails PeterReplyDelete
Thanks, everyone, for the kind words of support! I'm glad you're finding this helpful.ReplyDelete
I should emphasize that the Th1-Th2 imbalance is only a part of the many immune system abnormalities we experience with ME/CFS...but learning about it did help me understand our illness better.
I'm curious to see what other immune problems research uncovers over the next while, especially with the success of the team in Norway. M.E. has always been a very "immune" experience for me and I too, believe that at least in my case it's at the heart of the disease.ReplyDelete
I've tried 3 anti-virals so I'm curious to hear what Imunovir is doing for you to help? I'm cautious to try another one do to some pretty sig. reactions I had with my recent 5 mo course of Valtrex.
Upnorth -ReplyDelete
Immunovir is an immune system modulator, not an anti-viral, so it is entirely different from Valtrex and other anti-virals. Your significant reaction to Valtrex was most likely a herx reaction - a positive sign that the med was killing off viruses in your body.
I will try to get to the Immunovir post tomorrow...but it's a really busy week here, and tomorrow is Craig's birthday! We'll see how the day goes...
Thanks for the excellent post Sue. My brother felt awful for several days after getting a flu shot recently, and I told him that is a common occurrence for those with CFS. However, I couldn't explain WHY that happens, so passing along your post to him for more info.ReplyDelete
David -ReplyDelete
Yes, that kind of reaction in a healthy person is fairly common, too. It's the same mechanism - the immune system is stimulated by the vaccine to create antibodies, which sometimes results in some mild flu-like symptoms (not from the vaccine itself but from your body's response to it). Of course, it;s typically mild and short-lived in a healthy person. I got a flu shot last year that triggered a month-long crash!
Sue, this particular reaction I had was felt by both me and my physician to be clearly a "side effect" of the meds that occurs in about 7% of long-term users. That being said, I was probably having some herxing going on as well. Either way, I'm not going on Valtrex again...that was my third shot.ReplyDelete
However, perhaps we would try an immune modulator like Imunovir, I'll see what my specialist has to say about it next time I see her.
Upnorth -ReplyDelete
Oh that's a shame! I know some people have had good luck with anti-virals. I've been on Valtrex or Famvir for several years - it has helped a little but not a lot. My EBV and HHV-6 numbers are positive but not all that high.
This is really nice information for ME/CFS patients.ReplyDelete
Your brain is working much better than mine for you to have an understanding of TH1/TH2. Although dx with fibromyalgia, I also have high antibody titers to EBV, HHV-6, and CMV. I tried Famvir about a year ago and it gave me terrible nausea. I took it for 6 weeks, took a week off, and tried again for another 2 weeks and then quit. Knew it was probably a Herx reaction but just couldn't take it any longer. Will be talking to my neurologist about getting rid of the viruses and getting her input.ReplyDelete
- Colin Smith2:02 PM
Hi, I recently had surgery to remove a tumour in the bladder followed by a course of BCG auto immune therapy. The BCG brought on attacks of ME/CFS from which I have suffered for many years.ReplyDeleteReplies
Interesting, though not surprising! I'm not familiar with that particular treatment, but anything that messes with the immune system will cause problems with ME/CFS. I know one guy who developed ME/CFS for the first time after chemo - it can act as a trigger, too.Delete
Consider trying some of the immune modulators that are helpful in ME/CFS - they might help you pull out of this relapse and won't hurt your tumor treatment since they don't suppress or stimulate the immune system but help to normalize it. Here's more info:
And one other treatment that has helped our immune systems normalize more recently:
Good luck! Thanks for taking the time to comment and share your experiences.

Willimantic is a census-designated place within the town of Windham. This charming Connecticut town has plenty to offer new residents, and its historic appeal draws in people from across the country.
It's easy to find Willimantic apartments for rent, and those who decide to make the move to the community will find that it is no trouble to seamlessly transition into this welcoming area.
European settlers came to the area in the 1600s, and most of the first residents made their living farming wheat, rye, corn, barley and flax. Industries slowly began to grow in the area, because convenient local rivers and streams provided an ideal power source for sawmills and gristmills.
The town of Windham consists of North Windham, Windham Center, South Windham and Willimantic. These different sections developed at different paces throughout history. During the 1800s, Willimantic became the center of industry in the area, while Windham retained its rural past. During the middle of the century, railroads fueled the growth of the area, and trolleys frequently shuttled residents and travelers throughout the community.
Willimantic's golden age was the Victorian era, when many mansions were built in the community and hotels sprang up to accommodate a high number of travelers. Tourist attractions were constructed, and the community saw a huge influx of immigrants from Europe to work in the area's thriving milling industry. The frequent immigration caused Willimantic to develop into a culturally rich community.
Throughout much of the 1800s, Willimantic was considered a borough of Windham, but by 1893, it officially became a city. In the early 1980s, the city of Willimantic and town of Windham consolidated and became a single town under the name Windham. Today, Willimantic still retains its unique identity even though it is a part of Windham, and is home to more than 17,000 residents.
There are plenty of educational opportunities nearby for those who wish to further their education. Willimantic is home to Eastern Connecticut State University, which traces its history back to 1889. As a long-standing educational leader in the community, the school prides itself in its commitment to strong academics and a liberal arts education.
Students seeking a two-year institution will find that Quinebaug Valley Community College has a campus located in Willimantic, and it offers students the opportunity to pursue an associate degree or professional certificate. With flexible class schedules, online learning options and the chance to attend school part time, the college makes every attempt to make courses accessible to its students.
Willimantic isn't just an ideal place to attend school - it's also a place for residents to find work nearby. With the city of Hartford just a short drive away, a number of residents work within the Hartford metropolitan area. Some of the largest employers in the region include the state of Connecticut, United Technologies, Aetna, Hartford Hospital and Bank of America.
Most residents in town will find that the monthly rent for Willimantic apartments ranges from $800 to $1,250. The median gross monthly rent is $819, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Both Willimantic and Windham are full of local attractions for both residents and visitors to enjoy. The Windham Textile and History Museum features exhibits that teach visitors about the history of textiles and how trends, technology and innovation changed the industry and the region. Also in town is the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum, an institution that guides visitors through the fascinating history of the railroad in the area. Families will especially appreciate the kid-friendly exhibits, such as the 1850s replica pump car that youngsters can operate.
One of Willimantic's highly anticipated annual events is the Boom Box Parade. When no marching band could be found for the annual Memorial Day Parade in 1986, residents took matters into their own hands and created the Boom Box Parade, and groups marched while carrying their radios. This tradition continues today, and is a fun opportunity for residents to get involved with other locals.
To find a Willimantic apartment or rental, check out our apartment listings. Rent.com® is happy to help you find your next home.

iNoobs: Top 12 Web Design Guidelines (For Print Designers)
iNoobs: Top 12 Web Design Guidelines (For Print Designers)
Extracted Page: http://www.inspiredm.com/inoobs-top-12-web-design-guidelines-for-print-designers/iNoobs: Top 12 Web Design Guidelines (For Print Designers)
Welcome to another edition of the iNoobs series – where we teach you how to become a web developer (and how to grow lots of body hair and shoot omega beams from your eyes – because ya'll know that's the only thing that can defeat Superman).
Comic book geeky-ness aside I was asked the other day to help a friend get into web design…
"Holy f$%k," I cursed at my grandmother… "I can combine two loves, kill two birds if you will. I can help my friend (aka my grams) and write a great post for the iNoobs series…"
(Is he already calling this a "great post", sometimes I like his cocky writing style… sometimes it's just too much. And is his "friend" his grandma?)
Yes… and… the parenthesis means YOU'RE thinking it…
On to the design juice…
Top 12 Web Design Guidelines (For Print Designers)
I know a lot of you out there are fantastic designers.
You can mouse through photoshop, clickety-clicking like there's no tomorrow.
You can draw vectors in Illustrator like a boss (sometimes spelled BAWSE for effect).
You can layout stuff out in InDesign that would give any typophile a Times New Roman Orgasm. (Is that a font joke…?)
"I'm not sure, just stay with me."
But you want to know more about web design.
Well, if you're like my friend – as well as a few designers I've coached while working at an ad/marketing agency – you'd like to create some sweet designs for the web, but have some questions like, "Where do I begin?"
Unfortunately, I've tried simply telling designers to "open your eyes" but that never seems to work – but let's start there anyway. Before we get to our bulleted list goodness:
OPEN YOUR EYES (BTW I'm saying this in a sultry Penelope Cruz voice)
As you move throughout the web pay attention to how everything is layed out. Pay attention to everything that has been taken into account (or haphazardly mashed together by the devs). Look at the margins, the size of the site, its behavior as you scroll, the consistency of titles, and boxes, and advertisement space and… EVERYTHING.
Then I would start by replicating the design of one of your favorite sites. That's how I started. Just go find a beautiful site and… do it again, in photoshop or your application of choice (oh shit, I used the word application – when I used to use "program" apple is taking over).
Go recreate and enhance it. Add stuff and play with things. You're a designer you probably have a good eye for design (and hopefully beautiful eyes in general) and will be able to move through your changes tossing the chaff and keeping your delicious wheat.
But, if you must have a complete break down here are my… Top 12 Web Design Guidelines (for Print Designers)
1) Photoshop
Preferably work/design in Photoshop (or export final design to a photoshop friendly format).
We coders like this because of layers. Layers rock for design, and for cutting up HTML/CSS.
While working within Photoshop or other software make sure colors are set to RGB and the resolution of the document you're working on is 72DPI (but these are both defaults). It's important to make sure to keep your design file organized (if using photoshop, keep your layers organized) using groups, and naming. Part of the next steps of cutting up a design into HTML & CSS require that we get to very specific portions of the design and organization helps reduce that time.
2) Design Resolution/Image Size
When considering the size of the website almost 100% of the time we go with a fixed width (set number of pixels) and centered design. If you'll be following this same recommended path you'll need to then set a maximum size for the design (boundaries for which all of the content falls under. For smaller screens 760px is recommended, however with larger and larger screens more readily available the de-facto is currently 960px as it allows lots of design freedom, as well as space for advertising and multiple columns worth of content.
Additional Resources – http://960.gs/
3) Background
It's important to illustrate in the design how the background will be handled so that it can be coded properly. There's a number of different options here:
- Static Background (simple color or image)
- Tiled Background (vertically or horizontally)
- Static Background (an image that stays in place despite scrolling)
Additional Resources – http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/03/31/backgrounds-in-web-design-examples-and-best-practices-2/
4) Navigation
The main site navigation should (in my opinion) almost always be positioned at the top – and only in extreme situations to the side of the site. If you must put it on the side – position it to the left. The site navigation should be one of the most prominent elements on the page and should be consistent across the whole site.
5) Fonts
It's important to understand that photoshop by default will anti alias text (make it look rounded and pretty onscreen – this is the "strong, sharp, etc." setting) and has a host of EXTRA fonts unavailable to most users.
Additionally, when converting the design into HTML, we'll need to make sure we have the same fonts (in the cases where fonts are to be implemented exactly) should you want to use a custom font.
6) Headers/Titles
Much like the fonts consideration it's important to consider headers. Any titles on the site (big areas of text usually signaling a page title) are considered "headers" being consistent here (using a similar font and style) will help in the conversion process.
7) Content
Although the fancy images and colors are important the single MOST important thing is your content (text!) – it's probably the most space any single element will need to take up, and will take the most time of your user (reading) so consider the type/font, the contrast between the content and the background it sits on, as well as secondary elements (for example a blog/news section will typically have a comment section, a box listing the author, date, etc.).
8) Details
Often the best designs are very simple but with consistency and very specific tiny details. For example just adding a slight border and drop shadow to a box can make a world of difference. Great web design is all about those kinds of tiny details, both on the home page as well as throughout the site.
9) Colors/Links
Because of screen discrepancies and considerations for eye site problems it's recommended to contrast your colors as much as possible, particularly links. Although this is ultimately an esthetic decision, contrast can really help ease the use of a website.
10) Graphics
If additional graphics are to be provided it's important to consider file size, we try to compress all graphics as much as possible when posting to the web. For example JPG's are typically compressed to 60% (good balance of size/quality), but Gif's are used in places where not a lot of colors are important, and PNGs are used when transparency in an image is necessary. Because the design is to be provided as a PSD this is a moot issue unless other graphics/images are to be sent or uploaded to the site later on.
11) Goals
For each page being designed it's helpful to sit down and come up with 3 goals (with a major goal on top) for a single page and then design so that you feel those goals are met easily and simply conveyed to a new visitor.
Then test – have a friend come over (perhaps your grandma) and see what the design communicates to them. Remember everyone is different and will have an opinion so although use cases and surveys like this are helpful – stick to your own gut. And seriously, old people make perfect test cases – they are rarely extremely computer savvy and typically get angry quickly so you'll be able to tell if your design is not "up to snuff" (that's an old person saying right?) by the fact that there's now a keyboard lodged in your monitor.
JK – I love old people.
12) Consistency
Be consistent in the overall design, particularly the navigation, title, and page elements. Although typically a homepage will look much different than internal pages consistency is important in communicate the flow of the website.

ARLINGTON, Mass. – Several members of the MIT baseball team recently visited the Ottoson Middle School in Arlington, Massachusetts where they had the opportunity to speak to a group of students. Some of the topics the Engineers spoke to the students about included prioritizing their time, goal setting and helping others.
Speaking with the students at Ottoson were seniors A.J. Hansborough (Deltona, Fla.), Zach Carr (Chatham, N.J.) and Torre Swanson (Redding, Calif.,), junior Ricardo Perez (Vienna, Va.), sophomore Creed Mangrum (Sandy, Utah) and freshman Eben Bitonte (Wichita, Kan.).
"I am so proud to be associated with the six young men that visited Ottoson," remarked MIT assistant coach Todd Carroll, who is also a teacher at Ottoson. "There were 200 students in the cafeteria and you could hear a pin drop when our student-athletes spoke. It is a credit to those young men, not only that they were willing to give up their time to speak to the students, but also that their words and actions carry a lot of weight and truly resonate with young people."

Lisa's Vintage-Retro Room at the Grandparents'
Name: Lisa (9 months)
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia
My husband and I moved into my parents house to be with family for the birth of our baby. We were allocated a room for their soon-to-be grandchild, and I lost no time in coming up with a design for the nursery. We didn't want to invest a lot in a temporary space, so my mission was to reuse whatever items we already had, and find reasonably priced additions.
One of the first items I found for the nursery was the floral wallpaper that defines the shelf and seating area. I stumbled on it at a thrift store, and it was perfect - the motif reminded me of an illustration from a German storybook, which is an ideal jumping off point for a nursery! The style was going to be vintage-retro, which worked with items we already had - like the dresser, side table, table lamp, and ceiling pendant. The rocking chair and ottoman were a gift to my husband, and the ottoman belonged to my parents. All of the big pieces worked very well together and unified either with wood tone or colour.
The mustard yellow, white/cream, and brown colours were taken from the baby quilt that I had made before I was even pregnant, and the blue was added to the palette when I found the wallpaper. I was lucky to find two fabrics that unified and reinforced the whole scheme - the curtain fabric (that was a table cloth originally), and the striped fabric on the toss cushions (originally placemats). The owl fabric I found on Carousel Designs - it adds a kid-friendly image to the upholstery and has a retro vibe, but isn't too juvenile.
The crib is a Craigslist find that was in perfect condition and had a vintage shape. It was hard to commit to painting it, but we needed to eliminate one of the large wood pieces; the chair and foot stool would be too difficult to paint, and the dresser is too valuable to me - so by default it had to be the crib. The crib is painted with no VOC paint, which took a HUGE amount of coats to cover (turns our no VOC primer isn't very adhesive).
The room needed a good focal point when you walk in the door, and I had found retro style alphabet flash cards that I decided to display in individual frames for maximum impact. (This was a relatively inexpensive project! The cards cost around $25, and the frames were $2 each from the dollar store.) I added a chair rail and painted the walls in two colours to reinforce the palette - blue and yellow. I think it adds just enough colour to the room without going overboard. In such a small space I thought it was important to stay as subdued as possible to not have the room over stimulating for a child. Aside from the focal wall, the other walls are a beige tone taken from the wallpaper. The paper's pattern is enough to add some interest, and the same goes for the curtain fabric on the opposite wall. The nursery turned out to be a very restful place for the parents, and a fun room for the baby!
Thanks Vera!

Eagles quarterback Michael Vick was plagued with four interceptions in Sunday's 17-16 victory over the host Cleveland Browns.
Vick completed 29-of-56 passes for 317 uards and two touchdowns. The interceptions nearly finished off the Eagles in their season-opening game.
"It was just stepping up and getting it done," Vick said in a postgame interview. "We had been through so much in the game – penalties and turnovers. But we got out of here 1-0 and that's what's important."
Vick said it was a sigh of relief to steal the win.
"I'd be lying if I said it wasn't [sigh of relief]," Vick said. "Plenty of throws I would like to have back. I just fought through it. When we scored that last TD it was a sigh of relief.
"Late in the fourth quarter it was never frustrated. We just kept fighting. We just keep encouraging each other.
"I have responsibility to this team to lead them, not hurt them."
Vick talked about his lack of preseason snaps. "You can't really simulate it in practice because it doesn't count," Vick said. "We have to have these kinds of games to become a championship football team. They have a tough defense."
Coach Andy Reid said he took some positives out of the performance.
"Every game you can win in the NFL is a good game," Reid said. "We had too many turnovers and penalties. At the end, he [Vick] drove us down the field. I thought he was rusty. I thought it was important that he get back in."

Women Served By WIA Programs - PY 2005-2007
| Over 1.1 million women have been served by Workforce Investment Act programs from Program Year 2005-2007. The total for PY 2006 was 187,378. The total for PY 2006 was 517,409, and the total for PY 2007 was 416,778. For the three program years, the total served by the WIA Adult program was 653,425. The total served by the Dislocated Worker program was 316,740 for the same period. The Younger Youth program served a total of 108,430 in the three program years. A total of 42,970 women was served by the Older Youth program in the same period.
(The data are from WIA State annual reports. The large increase after PY 2005 is mostly due to an increase in the WIA Adult figures, and this is due partly to co-enrollment in other programs.)

Jerusalem is getting into the "green" spirit with environmental activities from kindergarten and up. And yet, though most residents of the holy city live modestly in small apartments, with one car if any, much more can be done in terms of recycling, energy efficiency and water use.
That's why the city's Bloomfield Science Museum has stepped in to teach a select group of local schoolchildren how to make their city more sustainable for the future.
The museum has been teaching environmentalism and sustainability to Israeli and international visitors over the last three years, says Esthy Brezner, head of educational programs. And now about 300 pupils from several schools are involved in a Bloomfield program supported by the Jerusalem Foundation, the Green Network, the Heschel Center for Environmental Learning and other organizations.
Brezner tells ISRAEL21c that after working for a number of years in New York, she is aware that Israel faces challenges in educating its residents about protecting the environment.
She helped develop a multi-visit educational seminar to train kids on the basics about their city and lifestyle. "We start with the kids and they influence the family so that they grow up with different behavior. I can fight for this because I believe in it," she says.
Green Ambassadors
The curriculum is introduced by teachers at the participating schools in grades three to six, and then the kids meet twice at the museum to solidify what they learned in the classroom. They visit stations around the museum to learn about energy and water conservation, and they see how the museum staff saves energy in practice, for instance by keeping the windows closed in the winter.
As a policy, the museum opted out of the standard environment pavilions one can find at educational museums around the world. Instead the directors decided to show how all existing exhibitions are connected to sustainable values, with accompanying explanations and media.
As part of the Green Ambassadors program, the kids also head over to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to learn about the science of solar energy; tour a wastewater treatment plant; and visit a recycling center.
They then take home what they learned, and continue discussing it at school in a series of workshops developed by the teachers.
A noticeable change in attitude
While the ambassadors program is partnered only with Jewish schools, another museum project already running for several years reaches about 1,000 students annually from 12 Jewish schools and four Arab schools in Jerusalem.
Connected to a pan-European network, the museum is also a member of an EU educational project called ACCENT that aims to raise awareness among schoolchildren of climate change issues.
The Bloomfield Science Museum also recently hosted an innovation showcase, Brezner points out, and a good percentage of these homegrown technologies on display are built around clean technologies. Gaining an understanding of the products of these clean-tech companies was a huge highlight for the ambassadors-in-training, according to Brezner.
All of these efforts make a difference.
"I see a big change in Jerusalem kids," she says. "You see it on the walls, literally."
A boy named Asaf, from the Szold School, said it best: "If we take care of the world, the world will take care of us."

Kitchen Notes: Ingredient Substitutions
Article Digest:
Unless you have a fully stocked kitchen, you're probably going to have to make a run to the supermarket at least once for any new recipe you try. At least I have to. Sometimes, I just don't feel like it, or I'm not willing to spend money on an ingredient that I might never use again. Will something in the pantry or spice rack work just as well? Maybe. The only way to know is to try it and see - but what should I try? Well, here I've compiled a list of possible substitutions from the web, cooking shows, cookbooks, and conventional wisdom.

If you substitute AP flour for Cake, be prepared for your cake to be tough. There is quite a bit more gluten in AP than Cake (or Soft) flour and substituting one for the other has can ruin a delicate recipe.

Just like to point out that you cannot "mechanically hydrogenate" vegetable oil to make margarine. This is a chemical process using a heterogeneous catalyst and hydrogen. In fact, you initially get cis-hydrogenation, but this is followed by isomerisation to the trans- compound because this is thermodynamically favoured.

To substitute AP flour for cake flour: Take 1 cup - 2 Tbsp of AP flour and sift with 2 Tbsp cornstarch. Works like a charm.
(Pastry flour has even less protein, but I've never seen a substitution published.)

Any Canadians out there might wish to note that AP flour up here contains more gluten than American AP flour and cake flour is often not necessary if using Canadian.

In response to heather who just posted:
Kitchen Notes: Wheat Flour
with its explanation of how more gluten results in a tougher, not more tender, baking product.
So cake flour is even more, not less, necessary for Canadians. It is bread flour that one can often make do without.

You can use shortening for butter, but don't substitute the other way around! If you're baking, you're going to end up with a cake that doesn't rise well.

I do not see a listing form making your own chile spice mixture. I've been surprised at how obvious this is in its absence from a number of sources (even a few herbs and spices' books).
Crushed corriander seeds, cummin, crushed/powdered chiles, + ? + ?
Anyone got the ratios?

One more substitution I commonly use is applesauce for oil or butter. If you substitute the exact amount of one for the other then you can't tell the difference in texture or taste (or at least I can't). My favorite place for the substitution is in pancakes, as breakfast foods already get so many other calories (syrup, for one), but you can make the substitution anywhere.

Post subject: Icing Sugar
You say that I can substitute 1 cup of fine sugar and 1tbs of corn starch for 1 cup of confectioner's sugar.
Later, you say that I can substitute 1-3/4 cup of confectioner's sugar for 1 cup of granulated sugar.
I would have expected to use
confectioner's sugar, since the smaller particles would result in less air in the measure, and since the proportion of starch should be too low to make much difference.
Is this a typo, or is there some other chemical property involved?

MACON, Ga. – The Atlantic Sun Conference has announced Lipscomb women's basketball players – senior guard Hannah Phillips and freshman forward Alex Banks – as part of its post-season awards, as announced on Tuesday.
Phillips, a Brentwood native, was named to the All-Academic Team. The psychology major owns a 3.79 GPA over her four years at Lipscomb. Phillips led the Lady Bisons in scoring, rebounds and minutes played this season. Her 13.4 points-per-game average ranked fifth in the A-Sun this season. Phillips also became Lipscomb's fifth NCAA era women's basketball player to eclipse 1,000 points in her career.
"It is once again indicative of the type of recruits we want to bring here," Lipscomb head coach Greg Brown said. "They are student-athletes and Hannah is an excellent example of that. You want players that are consistent both on and off the floor and Hannah is a portrait of that.
"I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her this year and she has left a legacy for others."
