Aortic Valve Stenosis
Living With Aortic Valve Stenosis
How you will feel and how aortic valve stenosis will affect your life will vary greatly depending on whether you have symptoms and the treatment decisions you make.
If you have no symptoms
- Watch for changes in your health. See your doctor right away if you have any signs of chest pain, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, palpitations, or other symptoms that worry you.
- Keep your heart healthy. Make healthy lifestyle changes such as eating a heart-healthy diet, staying at a healthy weight, and managing other health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
- Get the tests you need to monitor your health. You will need to have an Reference echocardiogram Opens New Window every 6 months to 1 year for severe stenosis and every 1 to 5 years for mild to moderate stenosis.Reference 1
- Be active, but you might need to avoid strenuous exercise. Physical activity is good for your overall health. But the type of exercise that is appropriate varies depending on how severe your aortic valve stenosis is. If you have mild stenosis, you will not need to restrict your level or type of physical exercise. But if you have severe stenosis, you should avoid strenuous activities such as weight lifting or running. Talk with your doctor about what kinds of exercise are safe for you.
If you have symptoms
- Decide on treatment. After symptoms of stenosis appear, you'll need to decide whether to have valve replacement surgery. For more information, see Reference Surgery.
Manage heart failure. If you don't have surgery, you will likely develop
Reference heart failure Opens New Window. But you
can make lifestyle changes to manage heart failure, such as:
- Eating a low-sodium, heart-healthy diet.
- Being active with walking or other mild exercise. Avoid strenuous exercise, including weight lifting. Talk with your doctor about what kinds of activities are safe for you.
- Quitting smoking.
- Taking medicines for heart failure.

The stovetops of Paulette's Island Place kitchen simmer with a plethora of authentic Caribbean dishes, which draw their complex flavours from Jamaican, African, Amerindian, British, Spanish, French, Dutch, Indian, and Chinese cuisines. Chefs assemble meats and seafood into small and large plates of curries and stews, as traditional Jamaican fruitcakes rise in the ovens. In addition to a Caribbean menu of breakfasts and dinners, the kitchen turns out Canadian mainstays such as sandwiches, chicken wings, and burger patties in the shape of Jacques Cartier's head.
The name of So Thai Restaurant is rooted in two meanings: So is the first part of the founding family's last name, and is also indicative of the eatery's degree of authenticity. By ensuring that each dish balances the five fundamental taste senses—spicy, sour, sweet, salty, and sharp—So Thai Restaurant is simply sooo Thai. The theme carries to the menu, where a chili-pepper icon denotes five levels of spice from no spice, which is similar to ketchup, to so spicy, which is similar to burning ketchup. Traditional Thai dishes including pad thai and drunken noodles comprise the majority of options, though chefs also prepare specialties with uncommon ingredients including barbecue pork, red snapper, and kaffir-lime leaves. With nearly a quarter century of experience in the Thai-restaurant business, the Sookthis family expertly prepares dishes that sync flavor and aromatic components.
Formerly Ernesto's Country Italian Inn, The Courthouse Grille overhauled its name, menu, and interior to become the intimate Italian-American eatery it is today. While still featuring a selection of Chef Ernesto's best-loved dishes, the menu has expanded to include eclectic cuisine such as seafood-stuffed crêpes and lobster mac 'n' cheese.
The restaurant's façade remains as formidable as ever, with white columns supporting porches in front of the yellow, clapboard siding. The peaks of pediments rise above arched, floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the dining room with the natural light craved by potted plants and solar-powered chefs.
Steeped in tradition, Mario's Restaurant has served up old-school Italian cuisine since 1948, when it opened as a casual but luxurious supper club. The crystal chandeliers cast warm light on tables covered in white linens, which attentive servers top with a vegetable and relish tray the moment diners are seated. As chefs prepare house specialties tableside, the dining room fills with the rich aromas of buttery broiled lobster tails, veal piccante, and fresh pasta sauce. Guests can also take a whirl on the dance floor during ballroom-dancing sessions on weekends.
The sound of sizzling grills punctuates the gentle whir of beer taps at Basement Burger Bar, a friendly pub nestled beneath the historic Cook & Co. building. Here amidst exposed brick and flat-screen TVs, craft brews and cooked-to-order Angus beef compete for the spotlight as guests crunch through baskets of fried pickles and jalapeño poppers. Proteins such as bison, turkey, and black beans form burger bases, which diners can customize with bacon, grilled pineapple, blue cheese, and more than 30 other add-ons. Instead of cleansing palates with miniature squeegees, the bar draws pintsize baths of Short's seasonal suds and Dogfish Head Brewery ale.
Mazaar's decor blends urban chic with traditional design details. Sleek, shiny tables line up beneath rough-hewn stone archways, and white tassels create silhouettes of iwan arches against textured crimson walls. And though it tends further toward tradition, the eatery's Lebanese cuisine gets equal consideration and care. Chefs mix fresh lemon and cracked wheat into tabbouleh, grill up tender shish kebabs and shawarma, and flavor pan-seared seafood fillets with pepper- and lemon-based sauces. Complimentary, made-to-order pitas accompany every entree to the table, much like government chaperones accompany every MP to the House of Commons annual mixer. Located blocks from the Caesars Windsor casino, Mazaar cultivates a party-friendly atmosphere through flowing libations and live entertainment. Recessed lighting glows beneath the sleek bar where mixologists shake cocktails and pour wines and beer. On select nights, belly dancers weave between tables, mesmerizing diners with their fluid dance moves and slowly swaying pocket watches.

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Patients with heart disease who are underinsured die sooner than similar patients with private insurance, new research suggests.
The finding held regardless of the patients' race, the investigators from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health noted. They suggested that the study results could shed light on racial disparities in outcomes for patients with heart disease.
Although black people living in poor city neighborhoods are more likely to have heart disease and die early from their condition, this may have more to do with their insurance coverage than their race, study author Derek Ng and his colleagues reported.
In conducting the study, the researchers examined information on patients admitted to one of three hospitals in Maryland for heart attack, blocked arteries or stroke. Nearly 5,000 of the patients had a heart attack, more than 6,700 had blocked arteries and just under 1,300 had a stroke.
The study, published online in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, revealed that the patients who were underinsured died sooner than those with private insurance. For example, underinsured patients who had a heart attack had a 31 percent higher risk of premature death, and those with blocked arteries had a 50 percent higher risk of early death, compared with those who were privately insured.
The researchers noted that there was no difference in survival rates between white and black patients. The survival effect was also independent of the patients' neighborhood and economic status as well as the severity of their disease.
Ng's team concluded that for patients admitted to the hospital for serious cardiac events -- such as heart attack, stroke or blocked arteries -- there is an increased risk of premature death among those who are underinsured compared with those who have private insurance.
"Given the recent changes in health insurance and health care reform, these results underscore the need to closely investigate the factors relating to health insurance that may explain these disparities. Indeed, targeting these factors may relieve the burden of mortality disproportionally affecting those who are underinsured," the authors wrote.
While the study uncovered an association between insurance status and survival rates, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.

THURSDAY, Aug. 9 (HealthDay News) -- The cardiac benefits of statins outweigh any increased chances for developing diabetes, even among those who run the highest risk of developing the blood sugar disease, Harvard researchers report.
The concern that these cholesterol-lowering drugs, which include the widely prescribed medications Lipitor, Crestor and Zocor, increased the risk for diabetes prompted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to require labeling that warns users of the risk.
"Earlier this year, concern was raised that patients taking statins had an increased risk of developing diabetes, and on that basis many patients stopped taking their medications," explained lead researcher Dr. Paul Ridker, director of the Center for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention at Brigham and Women's Hospital, in Boston. "Unfortunately, little if any data was available at that time to address not only the risks, but also the benefits of treatment. This is crucial since it is the benefit-to-risk ratio that physicians and their patients need to understand."
The clinical message of this new research is clear, Ridker noted. "The cardiovascular benefits of statin therapy outweigh the diabetes hazard, even among those with highest risks for diabetes," he said. "We hope these new data will better inform discussions between physicians and patients who are considering the use of statin drugs as a possible addition to diet, exercise and smoking cessation."
The report was published Aug. 9 in the online edition of The Lancet.
Ridker's team used data from a trial that was conducted to find out if one particular statin, Crestor (rosuvastatin), could prevent heart disease in patients who never had heart disease. The trial, which included nearly 18,000 patients, was the first to reveal the possibility that statins could increase the risk for diabetes.
However, Ridker's group found that the risk of developing diabetes while on Crestor was greatly influenced by a person's existing risk for developing diabetes.
Over the five years of the trial, patients taking Crestor who didn't have any risk factors for developing diabetes didn't show an increased risk for developing the disease.
Patients taking a statin who had one risk factor for diabetes, however, saw a 28 percent increase in their risk of developing the disease.
Moreover, although statins did increase the risk for diabetes among those with risk factors for diabetes, these patients were 39 percent less likely to develop heart disease and 17 percent less likely to die, the researchers found.
"Among those with one or more major risk factors for diabetes, there were 134 fewer heart attacks, strokes and other major cardiovascular events among those who got the statin, but this came with the hazard of 54 new cases of diabetes being diagnosed. This group is already at high risk for getting diabetes, a group who are already considered candidates for statin therapy," Ridker noted.
Patients taking statins who were not at risk for diabetes had a 52 percent lower risk of developing heart disease and no increased risk of developing diabetes, the research team added.
"Among those with no risk factors for diabetes, there were 86 fewer heart attacks, stroke and other major vascular events among those who got the statin as compared to placebo, with no new cases of diabetes at all. So, for this group, there was cardiovascular benefit with no diabetes risk," Ridker said.
Dr. Gerald Watts, the Winthrop Professor of Medicine at the Cardiometabolic Research Center of the University of Western Australia and co-author of an accompanying journal editorial, said that "statins can lead to diabetes if you are predisposed to diabetes and this could be an issue when treating people at low risk of heart disease."
The benefit of statins in preventing heart disease, however, outweighs their risk in leading to diabetes, he added.
"Watch out for diabetes if you are on a statin and are at risk of diabetes," Watts said. Risk factors for diabetes include obesity, family history and abnormal blood sugar levels, he said. "If you are on a statin make sure you lead a healthy lifestyle," he added.
Another expert, Dr. Gregg Fonarow, a spokesman for the American Heart Association and a professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles, said that "statin therapy has been clearly demonstrated to prevent cardiovascular events and premature cardiovascular death in men and women."
"This study confirms there is substantial net benefit of statin therapy even when fully accounting for the diabetes risk," he said.
For more information on statins, visit the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
TUESDAY, July 31 (HealthDay News) -- Even mild depression or anxiety may raise your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and other causes, according to British researchers.
And the greater the level of psychological distress, the higher the odds of death from heart disease, the researchers say.
"The fact that an increased risk of mortality was evident, even at low levels of psychological distress, should prompt research into whether treatment of these very common, minor symptoms can reduce this increased risk of death," said lead researcher Tom Russ, a clinical research fellow at the Alzheimer Scotland Dementia Research Center of the University of Edinburgh.
For the study, published online July 31 in BMJ, Russ and colleagues analyzed 10 studies of men and women enrolled in the Health Survey for England from 1994 to 2004. Data on more than 68,000 adults aged 35 and older was included overall.
Each study looked for connections between chronic psychological distress and the risk of dying from heart disease and other causes, including cancer.
Pooling data in this way is called a meta-analysis. In such a study, researchers look for common patterns across several studies.
Over eight years' follow-up, the researchers found even very mild depression or anxiety -- subclinical levels -- raised the risk of all-cause death, including cardiovascular disease, by 20 percent. Looking specifically at death from heart disease, mild psychological distress raised this risk 29 percent, the study found.
For the highest level of depression or anxiety, the risk of all-cause death rose 94 percent, the researchers found.
Risk of death from cancer was increased 9 percent in cases of very severe depression or anxiety, the investigators found. Lower levels of psychological distress were not associated with increased risk of cancer death.
An individual's actual risk of death remains small, however, and people shouldn't assume they are doomed to an early death if they suffer from a psychological disorder.
Dr. Glyn Lewis, a professor of psychiatric epidemiology at the University of Bristol in England and author of an accompanying journal editorial, said evidence linking stress to heart disease continues to mount.
"If we can reduce the psychological impact, then this should reduce the biological response," he said. But how to accomplish that remains a puzzle.
A type of psychological treatment called cognitive behavioral therapy is designed to help people change the way they respond to potentially stressful events, Lewis said. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches patients to change their thinking about situations and to react less emotionally.
"This might help people with [clinical] depression, but there is no evidence that this might help the much larger numbers of people who have low-level symptoms that are below the diagnostic threshold for depression," he said.
While antidepressants might improve depression, previous studies have linked their use to greater risk of heart disease, according to background research in the study. About 7.5 percent of United Kingdom residents have depression and anxiety disorders, Lewis said.
Changing this stress-disease dynamic might also involve keeping common risk factors for cardiovascular disease in check, another expert said.
Dr. Gregg Fonarow, a professor of cardiovascular medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, said many studies have demonstrated an association between depression and anxiety and cardiovascular events, cardiovascular deaths and all-cause mortality.
But so far, no evidence has shown that treating depression or anxiety reduces the risk of heart disease, Fonarow said.
Many different mechanisms may connect psychological distress to cardiovascular disease, including increased sympathetic nervous system activity, stress hormones such as cortisol, chronic inflammation, unhealthy lifestyle factors and inattention to early symptoms, he said.
"For people with depression or anxiety, focusing on proven cardiovascular risk factor interventions, including maintaining healthy blood pressure, body weight, cholesterol levels, engaging in regular exercise and not smoking, may represent the best course of action to lower their cardiovascular risk," he advised.
For more information on cardiovascular disease, visit the American Heart Association.
MONDAY, July 30 (HealthDay News) -- A regional system of improved care for cardiac arrest patients in Japan reduced the risk of death and the number of survivors who suffered brain damage, a new study finds.
An advanced post-cardiac arrest care system implemented in the Aizu region in 2009 included emergency medical services taking patients directly to hospitals specializing in advanced care or from an outlying hospital to a specialty hospital after a patient's heartbeat was restored.
Researchers compared data on patients who suffered cardiac arrest before and after the regional system was established and found that survival to discharge increased from 2.3 percent to 4.2 percent.
One month after cardiac arrest, favorable neurologic results were seen in 51 percent of survivors after the new system was introduced, compared with 19 percent before.
Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when an abnormal heart rhythm causes the heart to stop beating.
The study was published July 30 in the journal Circulation.
"Although there were concerns that the proportion of survivors with severe neurologic disability would increase, this did not occur," lead author Dr. Takashi Tagami, an assistant professor at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo, said in a journal news release.
The advanced care system in the study includes therapeutic hypothermia (cooling of the body), appropriate fluids, cardiovascular medications, respiratory management and procedures such as percutaneous coronary intervention to open blocked arteries.
The American Heart Association refers to this group of treatments as the "fifth link" in what it called the Chain of Survival for sudden cardiac arrest.
"These findings suggest that the 'fifth link' is associated with an increase in survival rate as well as improvement of quality of life among survivors," Tagami said.
The U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute has more about sudden cardiac arrest.

Classics in Italy
May Term 2013
Hampden-Sydney College & Sweet Briar College
Rome to the Renaissance: The City in Italy
Summer Study Trip 2013
Prof. James Arieti (Classics, HSC)
Prof. Lynn Marie Laufenberg (History, SBC)
Description: When Aristotle called man a "political animal," he asserted that a polis, or "city-state," is the natural human habitat. This course explores the nature of the city historically and philosophically as well as demographically, topologically, and architecturally. We shall give special attention to the city in Italy, the hub of western urbanism for much of European history, as we see how intellect attempted to carry into practice the ideas of human social life. We shall take up the concept of the city in classical thought with focused readings from Herodotus, Thucydides, Aristotle, and Vitruvius and, for his insights into the ancient city, selections from Numa Denis Fustel de Coulanges' insightful The Ancient City. In Italy, we shall visit and discuss Etruscan settlements, the remains of ancient Rome and follow the urban progress in the medieval communes, and in city planning of the Renaissance. In addition to the authors mentioned above, primary sources will include Plato, Livy, Augustine of Hippo, Leon Battista Alberti, and Machiavelli, Pompeian graffiti, and anonymous medieval chronicles. Travel fees and tuition apply. V.1
No pre-requisites.
Summer travel course; approximately two-weeks; intensive course (May/June, 2013)
Work to be Completed: Students will be expected to attend several preparatory seminar sessions prior to departure (to be held at both HSC and SBC). Advance readings in the secondary sources will also be required. While in Italy, students will attend site-lectures and walking tours given by course instructors. They will also participate in discussions of primary sources (contained in a course reader). In addition, students will prepare (prior to departure) and a site-talk of about fifteen minutes for delivery on a location of their choosing (they will sign up for a site from a list of possibilities). Finally, upon return to the U.S., students will complete either a short scholarly paper that develops the research they presented for their site talk or an analytical paper on a topic of philosophical import that arose in the readings or in class discussion.
Price: TBA soon
Students: taken for 3-credits in History (or Classics at HSC); may count toward MARS minor at SBC or Foreign Study at HSC. Level of course: 200; no prerequisites, though a course in ancient, medieval, Renaissance history, Roman history, Western Culture.
Open to alums (and other associates of SBC/HSC), who will be charged and activity fee, but will be exempt from homework. All participants are expected to be intellectually engaged in the material covered on the study-tour.
Application & deposit information from Sweet Briar College is forthcoming

Hasta La Vista, Baby! (by an unknown soldier in Afghanistan)
Remember when Puerto Rico was raising heck about the US Navy using that nothing little island just off the coast of Puerto Rico for bombing practices, which they had used for the past 75 years? Demonstrations were held, Hollywood left wingers, Al Sharpton, and his fellow demagogues went down there to demonstrate to get the Navy out? I am sure it infuriated you just as it did me at the time. W-e-l-l-l, here is our revenge.
Always be careful what you ask for, you just may get it!
One of the many headaches that the U. S. has had was the Puerto Rican Island of Vieques. In the waning years of the Clinton Administration, protesters demanded that the US Navy abandon bombing and naval gun fire exercises that had taken place on the largely uninhabited island for nearly seventy years. Liberal icons bumped into one another to fly to Puerto Rico, boat over to the island, trespass (but never on a day that there was an exercise scheduled) and get arrested for the benefit of the New York Times or Newsweek. They included:
Reverend Al Sharpton,
Mrs. Jesse Jackson,
Joan Baez,
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,
Edward Olmos,
Michael Moore and
Ramsey Clark, just to name a few.
In 2002, the bombing exercises were transferred to an Air Force bombing range in central Florida, not far from the Jacksonville and Pensacola Naval Air Stations. In January, many of the protesters were back in Puerto Rico, celebrating the final bombing exercise on Vieques and waved Puerto Rican flags and placards that read, "U.S. Navy, get out of Puerto Rico."
The following February, Secretary of Defense, Rumsfeld,
announced that the U.S. Navy will close the Roosevelt Roads Naval Air
Station in Puerto Rico in 2004, eliminating 1200 civilian jobs as well as 700 military positions. This naval facility is estimated to have put nearly $300 million annually into the local economy.
The next day a stunned Governor, Sila Calderon, held a news
conference in San Juan, protesting the base closure as a serious blow to the Commonwealth's fragile economy. The governor stated that, "The people of Puerto Rico don't now nor never did have an interest in closing the Vieques bombing range or the Roosevelt Roads Naval Base. We are interested in both staying in Puerto Rico." (!)
When asked, the Commander-in Chief, Western Atlantic Command, said, "Without Vieques, I see no further need for the facility at Roosevelt Roads. None."
So, "Yanqui go home?" Fine. But we'll take our dollars with us. Hasta la vista, baby!
On February 21, the Secretary of Defense also announced that
starting this year, the U.S. European Command would begin moving most if not all of its active combat and support units from bases in Germany to others being established in Poland, The Czech Republic, Hungary and Turkey, to "better position them for rapid deployment to likely hot spots in those parts of the world."
Immediately the business and government leaders in the German states of Hesse, Rhineland and Wurttemburg, protested the loss of nearly $6 billion in revenue each year from the bases and manpower to be displaced. A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry speculated that the move may be, "...what the Americans call 'payback' for the actions of this government in opposing military action in Iraq."
" Does anyone know the German translation for "Hasta la vista, baby?" (Aufwiedersehen Shatzie)
Oh, ain't it nice to see a government with guts and a good
GOD BLESS AMERICA and GOD BLESS GEORGE W. BUSH !
Great post, cfs3. Isn't that what the Germans call "shadenfruede", that is, when you can take pleasure in another's painful mistake.
Ha ha ha, stfu. The Germans will have the last laugh when we're scraping the bottoms of our oil barrels while they sit cozy in their solar powered homes with the 2 Hydrogen cars in the garage. And get ready for the wave of Puerto Ricans moving to the States.
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
Last laugh? Doubtful. The next laugh, hell no. Their unemployment is already over 10 percent. What do you think the loss of the US military bases will do?
Puerto Ricans moving to the States? They're already here. The base closed down at the beginning of '03. And the US economy is still going up. Go figure.
Great post! Time for Bush to close the borders!

I'd like to hear what Al Sharpton thinks now.
Is that a trick question?
No, not really. He wanted the Navy out, so they're out. He got what he wanted, now the local economy sucks. What's he got to say about that?Originally Posted by cfs3
I was poking fun at his conginative abilities (or lack thereof).
I'm sure he blame it on Bush and the Republicans for starting it...
We need "The Great Wall Of Mexico" to begin construction. But please ... with out frickin Haliburnteveryone involved so we can have less of the project's funds stolen.
If that's true, you should have warned Clinton. He used Haliburton too.
cfs you aren't going to be such a Party fool as to defend the honesty of Hal are ya? C'mon man these guys have been sued way more then any current company listed ... and lost.
And fuck Clinton he's old news.
BTW why would i warn Clinton? I'm a Republican ...
I was poking fun at his cognitive abilities (or lack thereof).
I'm sure he blamed it on Bush and the Republicans for starting it...
Whoops ... ... probably wanna be careful when you put down someone else's conginative abilities.
Don't be mad cfs ...
Bush is still on my shit list. At the head as a matter of fact but I liked what was going on with base redeployments when it all came out. The Germans pose no threat now and fuck France so send the base funding to a more useful part of the planet ... someplace more timely. WWII is over I hear ... time to move on.
Here, I'll spare you a few commas: ,,,,,,,Originally Posted by BoneCrusher
There's no "whoops" about it. Sharpton jumped on the anti-US military bandwagon in Costa Rica and now the Costa Ricans are paying the price. The man didn't give much thought to the future ramifications. Probably because he didn't live there.
It's not about the Germans being a threat. They haven't been a threat to the sovereignty of the US since World War 2. It's that their current leader was re-elected on an anti-US campaign and the Germans bought into it. Spit on US, and we'll take our resources and money elsewhere. What's not to understand?
The French haven't been a real threat to anyone since Napoleon. Besides, who mentioned the French?
They've been closing bases since Clinton was in office. What did the people in some of our states do to deserve the closure of bases in their hometowns?

The majority of them elected Clinton who did his best to get rid of the armed services.
The base closure in Germany means a slightly slower response time to aid in French defenses ... fuck the French.
You seemed to miss the humor in mispelling your hack at Al Sharpton's mental abilities but I just thought it was funny and wanted to share the mirth. Thus the whoops.
Commas? I've no use for them generally cfs. Ease up and laugh more ... your hack on Sharpton was funny.
It's not so much to not protect the French, it's that the "hot spots" around the globe have changed since the Cold War. The French territory isn't that pivotal any more.Originally Posted by BoneCrusher
As for missing the purposeful misspellings...well...they kinda fit in with the not-so-purposeful misspellings.
Thanks for the kudos. Sorry about coming off harsh, but I come from a forum where the political debates were tough.
It was not a party issue anyway friends and neighbors. Fact is every Prez since Ronnie has had a piece in base closures. I think this is absolutlely the best idea BushCo has moved on since they went after the Tallybeenbanned. We WILL see more of our bases getting some heavy action from this move which equals more caskets. That I don't like. The free German vacation some of my friends have enjoyed will not be option and less people will feel as secure reducing enlistment. If the odds of being in the shit are increased the enlistment rate will fall. I like that.
What bases did Ronald Reagan close? Name some. Closing a base because a new one opens in its place doesn't count.
And yes, war means dead soldiers. But I guess your motto is "If it's too hard to do, it's not worth doing". The liberal slogan.
Peurto Rico is basically a welfare state anyway. Who do you think is really going to be paying for all those people out of work?
Your also going to be paying for the increased cost of the military using other practice bombing facilities, none of which are as good as the one at Viequez Island. Not having this facitlity available also lowered the training standards of the US Navy. But hey? It was a good way for any of these liberal mutts to get on a front page. Funny, but most "liberals" were backing their cause back when all this was going on, as, I suspect, many of you were.

Local Lab Rescue Hits Milestone As Need for Volunteers Grows
As the number of abandoned labs in the Washington, DC area rise, the Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac is more in need of donations and manpower than ever.
A local dog rescue group celebrated its 1,000th rescue in a year on Dec. 29 when volunteers took in a black Labrador and her 11 puppies — the highest number of dogs the Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac has ever rescued in a single year. Bailey, the 3-year-old lab, and her puppies were abandoned in Hughesville, Md. by their owner. Fairfax resident Yvonne Young, one of the LRCP's 200 foster parents, took them in. While the rescue was a milestone for the group, founded in 1991, it's also a reflection of the growing number of labs that are abandoned each year — a problem that requires more donations and volunteers with each passing day. Locally, LRCP is most recognized for the two adoption events they host each year at Weber's Pet …

Octo-mom has too many kids. . . I use too many colors, but that's where the similarities END - completely
I've always felt the goal of my foil work in color was to make each clients hair look as close to a childs as possible.
Someday just look at a 10 or an 8 or even a 12 year olds hair ( if it is Level 7 thru 10) they just have so many tones and so many levels in it, I decided long ago that was to be a goal of mine in foils.
Currently the trend is not for multiple colors in hair, but truthfully it is my one true love as far as Color. There would be many times I would use between 6 & 8 colors in foils using the slices technique... one of the reasons for my quick success I believe. . . . in Malibu no one did that.
Actually at Sassoon.... no one went to that trouble. . .I just loved the results.
The only hard part about it?
Mixing the bowls up ,
but at the time I had a couple of great assistants
that loved having projects to do..
I'm sure they took that trick to their practice as well.
Being an Intern or assistant in any field
is the single best way to advance

Increased competition, downward pressures on fees and elevated client expectations require lawyers today to respond faster while maintaining high quality. Law firms and individual attorneys need structural aids to improve productivity and assist in quality control. Systems let lawyers spend more of their time on the high-level, challenging work they enjoy most. Following are some of the reasons why systems matter:

As with most bold proclamations of the type that accompanies this month's column, an important clarification is necessary.

I vividly recall the chat I had years ago with a teammate on a youth basketball squad. We sat high above the court, killing time between tournament games. The teammate, whom I'll call Bob, was easily our most talented player ? he had a near-perfect shot, was adept at dribbling with both hands and was highly skilled in all other facets of the game. Yet, he was not our most valuable player, did not lead the team in scoring and, in fact, shied away from taking the big shot at the end of games.

As part of the Tribe's most recent effort "to improve the quality of life in Oregon consistent with the Tribe's values," Spirit Mountain Community Fund gave out $902,699 in grants to Oregon nonprofits and Tribes on Wednesday, Sept. 12.
In 34 grants to nonprofits, the Community Fund awarded $502,405, funding projects in education, health, arts and culture, environment, historic preservation and public safety.
This quarter's recipients included the Black Parent Initiative of Portland, a 6-year-old nonprofit that uses parent training and coaching to bring about family stabilization in Multnomah County, said Charles McGee, president and CEO of the nonprofit. The $20,000 award will enable Black Parent Initiative to increase services to 250 families from the 200 it served before the award.
This was the first Community Fund grant award for the group.
Many of this year's recipients have received awards in previous years.
"We are proud to have long-standing partnerships with some of our grantees," said Spirit Mountain Community Fund Director Kathleen George. "Consistency and sustainability are essential to some programs. While SMCF is a one-year funder, there are some nonprofits whose mission is so aligned with Tribal values that we are not surprised to find that they have brought us successful applications for many years."
A grant to Woodburn-based Farmworker Housing will improve family and children literacy among farm worker parents whose first language is indigenous to South and Central American roots and whose second language is Spanish. Most do not speak English.
"We're teaching kids and their parents to read," said Executive Director Roberto Jimenez. The $15,000 grant will allow the group to provide services to 60 families, up from the 40 it served before the award.
This was the seventh Community Fund award to Farmworker Housing. Since 2001, the Community Fund has given $252,851 to the nonprofit.
Eugene-based Willamette Farm & Food Coalition received $20,000 to teach children and families in Lane County about local sources of good quality food, and also increase their access to it, said Program Director Megan Kemple. The grant will allow the program to reach more than 1,000 children and families, and is the fourth grant the group has received from the Community Fund. Since 2008, the fund has given $35,000 to the group.
Beyond Toxics received $5,000 for a project entitled "Environmental Justice & Toxics Exposure: Madres por la Salud (Mothers for Health) Project." The funds will enable Project Coordinator Alison Guzman to work with Latino mothers in their lower income communities in an industrial area of west Eugene to teach about "the connection between the environment and health," said Executive Director Lisa Arkin.
The funds will enable Guzman to work with 40 to 50 mothers and, including their families, it will translate into helping four times that many people, Arkin said.
The 12-year-old organization is "one of the few environmental justice nonprofits in Oregon," Arkin said.
"We're giving voice to an underserved population in Eugene," said Guzman.
The Community Fund has given the group three grants totaling $15,000 since 2007.
"These recipients represent a great cross-section of our community," said Community Fund Program Coordinator Louis King.
Grants to six Oregon Tribes included $75,000 to the Burns-Paiute Cultural & Heritage Preservation program; $100,000 to the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw for a Dental Clinic Electronic Dental Records and Digital X-ray system; and $58,000 to the Grand Ronde Tribe for the Seven Tribes Exhibition and Display Cabinetry Project.
"The Tribe is much more than the casino," said Community Fund Board Chairman Sho Dozono.
He was joined at the check presentation by Tribal Council members who are also on the Community Fund board: Reyn Leno, then vice chair, now chairman; Toby McClary, then a Tribal Council member, now Tribal Council secretary, and Tribal Council member Steve Bobb, who gave the invocation.
"The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde is a very generous Tribe," said then-Tribal Council Chairwoman, now Tribal Council member Cheryle A. Kennedy, "and it always has been."
After a few years of reduced funds, stemming from the 2008 economic meltdown, funding available for gifts today is "moderately back on the rise," said George.
The Community Fund has now distributed $57.7 million to nonprofits in 11 western Oregon counties and to Oregon's nine federally recognized Tribes since its inception in 1997.

Scientists observe 'tragic experiment' of tsunami debris
LOS ANGELES (MCT) — Jeff Larson has seen just about everything wash up on the shores of Santa Cruz: bottles, toys, shotgun shells, busted surfboards and fishing floats that looked like they had bobbed across the Pacific.
When surging water driven by the magnitude-9.0 earthquake in Japan tore apart his city's harbor, he was there to scoop up the splintered docks and broken boats that were heaved onto the sand.
