Tips on Investing
- Consider carefully your investment strategy, such as the risks and long-term returns.
- Verify through your own independent research all investment decision. Don't rely entirely on the advice of any single individual.
- Keep in mind that the individuals touting a stock may be company insiders or paid promoters who stand to profit at your expense.
- Determine if an analyst's firm has underwritten a recent stock offering by read the stock's prospectus. Some prospectus' can be found online with the Security and Exchange's EDGAR database. Go to www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
- When you invest with a securities brokerage firm, ask for: information about the person handling your account and the firm itself; complete information about the risks, obligations and costs of any investment; and recommendations consistent with your financial needs and investment objectives.
- Be sure to get the following information from your broker: copies of completed account forms, agreements, and statements; and complete information about commissions, sales charges, penalties, maintenance or service charges and transaction or redemption fees.
- Research whether a brokerage firm or sales agent has been disciplined by regulators or criminal authorities by contacting the Attorney General's office or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. at (800) 289-9999.
- Ask if a brokerage firm is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which provides limited customer protection if a brokerage firm becomes insolvent.
- For more helpful tips on understanding investing, go to the Attorney General's web site at www.ag.ny.gov.

Self-help Approaches
Some feelings of stress, anxiety and depression may be relieved by the use of relaxation techniques and exercise. Progressive relaxation training is helpful in relieving panic feelings and can help people to gain some control over what is happening to them. Yoga, Tai Chi and other exercises are also believed to be beneficial. The key is in finding the approach which helps each person. For some people, relaxation is best found by taking part in physical activities, such as running, walking or gardening, rather than by relaxation. Access to psychological interventions
Psychological interventions include formal approaches and guided self-help. CBT in particular has been found to be very effective in treating common mental health problems. CBT is based on the idea that negative thinking results in negative reactions. It involves assessing the reasoning behind a person's thinking, and then gradually exposing them to the situation that causes stress or anxiety in order to change behavior and boost self-confidence.

With forecasters predicting extremely cold and snowy conditions this winter the time has come to make sure you have everything you need in place. This is often easier said than done, we lead busy lives but it's essential that at a very minimum the basics of winter preparedness are taken care of before the bad weather sets in.
The lower than usual temperatures that a 'bad' winter brings sees a surge in electricity usage at the very time when power outages are far more likely due to the weight of snow and ice, as well as strong winds bringing down power lines.
Every so often the weather throws us a curveball in the form of an 'historic' event, such as the snowstorm and blizzard, nicknamed 'The White Death' that hit the US in 1977. You're not going far when 10 feet of snow gets dumped on the neighbourhood are you? You can see some amazing photographs and hear the original radio broadcasts on the following video.
In the UK 1962-63 stands out, a winter that paralysed the country for weeks.
Dividing your preparation into different 'bit-sized' chunks will help you get everything in place.
To avoid insurance claims and/or expensive repair bills your home should be winter ready. These articles will help:
- Things to do before winter arrives
- Howard: An Alaskan who thrives regardless of the weather
- Add a heat sink to get extra heat from your wood stove
Make sure your vehicle is in a good state of repair, has a full tank of gas and is equipped to deal with cold weather emergencies. These articles may help you:
Inside the home also needs to be ready. You have no idea how long you may be stuck at home and should plan accordingly. Obviously you need to be well supplied with enough food, water, toiletries and pet supplies but you need to think outside the box, what if the power goes out? What if the water supply is affected? What about sanitation? Do you have a decent first aid kit and OTC as well as prescription medications?
- 14 simple ways to get ready for winter
- To flush or not to flush? That is the question
- Gastrointestinal issues in a crisis: What to do when the poop hits the pan
- Anti-histamines a must have for preppers
- 12 OTC medications you shouldn't be without
- Our unhealthy love affair with electricity
So what are those forecasts predicting? Cold, snow and lots of it sadly…I hate the cold so much I can't tell you.
A very cold and snowy winter has been forecast on both sides of the Atlantic this year – which bodes badly for the UK because we fail to cope in an average winter let alone a bad one! You can read about the winter forecast for the UK here.
As for the US, if the weather watchers are correct parts of the country are going to be battered by snow storms high winds and below average winter temperatures:
Frequent storms to bring above-normal snowfall to northeastern US
Frequent storms across the northeastern U.S. this winter may lead to an above-normal season for snowfall.
"I think the Northeast is going to see more than just a few, maybe several, systems in the course of the season," AccuWeather Long-Range Forecaster Paul Pastelok said.
Unlike last season, in which most of winter's snowfall came from a few heavy-hitting storms, this winter will last into the early or middle part of spring and will feature frequent snow events.
According to Pastelok, accumulation may be limited in areas south of New York City, such as Philadelphia, D.C. and Baltimore. These areas will see a handful of changeover systems, where falling snow transitions to rain and sleet.
"But still, Boston, Hartford, along the coastal areas up into Connecticut and southern New England, they can still have a fair amount of snow," he said.
Overall, it's predicted that the region will total a below-normal number of subzero days, though the temperature will average 3-5 degrees Fahrenheit lower than last year.
You can view the rest of that report, which covers other areas of the country here.
As usual when a storm is in the offing the store shelves will empty in a matter of hours, the unprepared will go into meltdown. Getting prepared in advance means all you and yours have to concentrate on is getting home from school and work – and that's something else that shouldn't be left until the last minute or you may not get home at all.
Well I for one hope the forecasts are wrong…I may have mentioned one or two (dozen) times how much I hate winter but at least if they are right I am well stocked and ready for it.
Take care,

Community college program to trains workers for manufacturing jobs
FINDING THE TOOLS: Spurred on by an expected increase in manufacturing jobs over the next 10 years, Northern Essex Community College
has partnered with Greater Lawrence Technical School
to develop a machine tool training program to prepare workers for those jobs.
The pilot program is being launched late this month, and will train 10 unemployed or underemployed individuals.
Developed with input from local companies, the program will train workers to operate computer numeric controlled machines, which are used to produce metal parts with high precision.
Graduates of the program can expect to compete for jobs paying on average of $22 an hour, said George Moriarty, director of the college's workforce development and corporate relations.
"After decades of decline, manufacturing is enjoying a significant rebound in Massachusetts and across the nation,'' Moriarty said. "Low-paying factory jobs have been replaced by careers with competitive wages in advanced manufacturing fields such as semi-conductors, aerospace, plastics production, and medical equipment.''
Today, most of the work is done by software, computers, and robotic equipment, which means skills such as blueprint reading, metrology, and math are essential.
The training will provide an introduction to the programming, setup, and tooling for computer controlled machines. Topics will include system parts, fundamental coding, basics for numeric parts programming, and operation of turning and milling centers.
The course also will provide instruction in mathematics and applied geometry.
Northern Essex will provide classroom instruction in theory and applications at NECC Riverwalk in Lawrence, while Greater Lawrence Technical School in Andover will provide hands-on machining experience.
Partners in the effort include The Merrimack Valley Workforce Investment Board, which will help organize employer involvement and assist in identifying job opportunities, and the ValleyWorks One-Stop Career Center, which will recruit, assess, screen, and refer candidates for the program.
ValleyWorks also will assist with case management, job placement, and follow-up. Local employers will participate in candidate selection, provide internships and financial support, and will have the first opportunity to hire those who complete the program.
For more information, contact Moriarty at email@example.com.
GIVING GOES ON: Its toy drive is over, but StonehamBank
continues to collect money and coats to help the less fortunate.
Bank branches in Billerica and Stoneham are accepting monetary donations for this year's Buy A Bed Program for Mission of Deeds
in Reading.
More than $500 was collected in 2011 and the hope is that this year's donations will exceed that before the Jan. 14 deadline.
StonehamBank Billerica also is partnering with the Billerica Lions Club
to collect Coats for Kids in association with Anton's Cleaners through Jan. 12. The goal is to exceed 100 coats.
The bank is accepting adult coats and jackets as well. Anton's Cleaners provides repairs and cleaning. From there, the coats are sent to charities such as The Salvation Army, Rosie's Place, and The Wish Project.
WHO'S WHAT WHERE: Lyn Skarmeas
has been named vice president of business development and provider relations at Hospice of the North Shore & Greater Boston. An advocate for quality hospice services, Skarmeas will communicate with referral sources and the community to enhance their understanding of hospice services. She has worked in the Massachusetts nonprofit home care and hospice field for the past 18 years. "One of the most important messages we can bring to the public and medical community is that patients can and should access hospice services sooner,'' she said. "By accessing our full range of services in the months — rather than weeks — before the end of life, we can help our patients and their families enjoy a better quality of life.'' A lifelong resident of Danvers, Skarmeas is married to Danvers School Committee chairman Arthur Skarmeas
and is the mother of two. . . .
Gene Wintner
is retiring from Northern Essex Community College in Haverhill after 30-plus years as a professor of developmental reading. Wintner started his career at the college as coordinator of the reading lab in 1979. He was named to the faculty in the early 1980s and is credited with developing the college's basic reading course, which helps students expand vocabulary and comprehension skills. Wintner has also written several reading textbooks.

3636 Bienville St., New Orleans, 504.482.9120
The food that immigrated with the Sicilians more than a century ago is deeply embedded in the food found in New Orleans neighborhood restaurants, and Liuzza's is a model of the form. Its menu is a populist expression of our culinary cultural gumbo, where soul and red-gravy Italian cooking (this may be New Orleans' best eggplant parmesan) meet Creole and down-home American cuisine (gumbo and onion rings taste particularly great together here). Most of it is more than satisfying, particularly enjoyed with a frosty globe of tap beer.
Open: Lunch: M-S. Dinner: Tu-Sa.
Entree prices: $7-$15.
Standout dishes: Eggplant parmesan, gumbo, onion rings and french fry po-boy.
Reservations: No.

We're enjoying our main floor reno, its really transformed our house into a functional, modern living space (our kitchen is now the envy of our friends and family!). The sign of a good reno is not regretting having done something differently, we've been in the space for a few months now and wouldn't change anything.
- Ryan and Lexy Regush, Saskatoon
Sincere appreciation for all your hard work on our home. We love it!! We never worried about a thing when we away South as we knew it was in professional and expert hands!

We approached Westridge based on the positive reviews on google. After several discussions with Regan and viewing of their built homes we decided to go with Westridge. We are so pleased that we made a right decision. Regan and his team are so professional, experienced and patient. They built our dream home yet stayed within our budget. The whole process was very enjoyable and never got delayed. Thank you Regan, Tara and other team members!
- Yan Zhou, Saskatoon

Choosing a builder is one of the most important decisions that are made during the building process. We looked around at a few builders and we chose Westridge Homes just after the first meeting. Westridge Homes staff members are professional knowledgeable, honest and friendly.

I cannot say enough great things about Westridge Homes! The entire process has been stress free and they have far surpassed our expectations. We could not be happier with our home. I'd highly recommend Regan and his team at Westridge.

Knowing the Sheep
I have spent the past few months talking about the various functions of a pastor/elder/shepherd. So far, we have seen from Scripture that pastors/elders/shepherds are to both feed and lead the sheep. This month we are going to see a third function: knowing the sheep.
We see in John 10:14-15 that Jesus is the good shepherd. And in his words, "I know My own and My own know Me, even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father." In this verse we see the loving relationship both between Jesus and the Father, but also how that extends into a loving relationship of knowing and being known by the Good Shepherd. In turn, pastors/shepherds/elders, as caretakers of God's flock, are to know the sheep, which happens on both a macro and micro level.
On a macro level (church as a whole), pastors are to first know who are sheep and who are not. Although no human will ever be able to discern perfectly who has trusted in Jesus and who has not, pastors should seek to know, by relying on the Spirit, who has responded in repentance and faith to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Ideally this is best accomplished through the church membership process. Those who are saved, and are thus members of the universal Church, becomes members of the local church. Thus, local church membership becomes the process of the church affirming who has and has not trusted in Jesus Christ. From there, pastors labor to feed the congregation as needed, assuring those who are not saved hear the gospel, and those who are saved are taught the whole counsel of God. This is one of the reasons why a high value is placed on church membership, as it helps the pastors discern where someone is in their spiritual growth in order to disciple them according to their needs.
Secondly, macro knowing involves the pastors/elders/shepherds knowing the characteristics of the local church body. Knowing the spiritual gifts which are prevalent in the body, its traditions, its past joy and scars, etc. Knowing the body in this way both allows the elders to discern where the Spirit might be leading the congregation, and then how to practically lead the church there.
On a micro level (individual members), pastors/elders are to know their sheep personally. In other words, every member should have a personal connection with at least one pastor/elder. This does not mean that elders are to merely know the names of the sheep, but to know their spiritual maturity, history, occupations, habits, family, spiritual needs. Then and only then, pastors are able to care for the sheep well, because they are able to teach, lead, and minister based off real needs instead of perceived needs. Furthermore, members then know they have someone to share life's joys and sorrows with, someone who will care for them in time of need, and someone who display Christ's love to them.
And with that said, here is a self-confession: I, as your current pastor, am not doing this well. While I have taken the opportunity to get to know many of you on a personal level, there are still many of you I have yet to sit down and know. In addition, even those whom I do know on a personal level, I still have not consistently followed up to discern present prayer requests and needs. Simply put, much work needs to be done, and for that I ask for your forgiveness.
With that, however, I ask also for your help in moving in that direction. The Lead Team has been discussion the process of deacons and elders for over a year now and what that might look like in our church. From those discussion we are desiring to move to a structure that, among many things, will free up the church leadership to know you all more deeply, to better care for your needs, and to disciple you more lovingly and effectively as you seek to grow in the Lord. I ask that you pray about these proposed changes, to ask questions, and then to ultimately help us as a church be able to know you better so you can grow as a disciple.
In His Grace,

What new Clubs could we set up to encourage people to use the schools REALLY COOL STUFF after school hours?
The young peoples Favourite ideas were,
Robot Rugby Club! - The young people invented a new sport called Robot Rubgy!
Monster Club,

Your living room being an important area of your house needs your attention more than any other areas and it really is mandatory for you to decorate it in varieties of ways to make it beautiful and appealing before eyes of every visitor and guest coming at your house and this isn't difficult, just a small knowledge about things is needed.
First of all select a good theme and color and paint your walls, doors and windows with that. Place good furniture as in sofas, side tables, central tables and dining table and chairs.
Fix beautiful lightning fixtures that would illuminate your entire living room. Place lamps on tables and floors to give great affect. Place central wallpapers, photo frames and sceneries on your wall along with wall hangers and baskets fill with flowers and lights.
Placing big flower pots on floor and vases on tables is great living room decoration idea. Place a large mirror on any wall in centre of your living room and decorate the borders with good frames and textures. You can also place statues on corners and sides of your living room. Place good curtains on your windows that blend well with theme.

Moroccan spiced carrot salad with harissa, cumin & maple syrup
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Harissa is a North-African spice paste that blows my mind (and mouth) on many different levels. Roasted peppers, chillies, coriander, garlic and spices form its base, and this fiery blend is used extensively to flavour meats, soups, stews, and couscous, apart from being used as a condiment in dips etc. I read somewhere that it's also common to find people slathering it on bread and eating it for breakfast! Oh, that would definitely kick-start your day now, wouldn't it.
A small dollop of this paste goes a long way – it can be used as a marinade for your chicken drumsticks, mixed into a spicy soup (I think chickpeas would work nicely here), slathered on some fish and pan-seared, the list is endless. I think it might just have overtaken Sriracha in my kitchen this season. That's a bold statement, I know.
I sliced the carrots into thick batons because I wanted them to retain their shape upon roasting, and also to still have a bite to them. If I'd found a smaller, thinner variety of them here I would've roasted them whole. The balance of the spicy harissa against the earthy sweetness of maple syrup is subtle without being too overpowering.. you know it's all about the yin and yang. —Kirthana | Theblurrylime
Serves: 3 - 4
grams carrots
teaspoon Harissa paste
teaspoon cumin seeds
teaspoon smoked paprika
teaspoons maple syrup
Coriander leaves (for garnish)
- Preheat oven to 200 C (400 F) and line a baking tray with aluminium foil. You could alternatively using an oven-proof dish.
- Cut the carrots lengthwise into batons approximately the size of a French fry. Mix together all the ingredients above (except the coriander leaves) and toss the carrots evenly in this marinade.
- Lay the coated carrots in an even layer on the baking sheet and roast for 25 – 30 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through. Sprinkle over coriander leaves and serve.
- (NOTE : Cooking time would vary depending on the variety and size of the carrots, so make sure to keep an eye on them after 20 minutes).

Sports reporting is one of the first jobs in journalism where multiple mediums were expected out of a reporter's daily product. Even years ago, when the black and white scores arrived folded on a fan's doorstep, they could likely hear their favorite writer on the radio every now and again.
Mark Zuckerman was that reporter. His career started in print, and he became well-known by fans in Washington writing for The Washington Times. His career took an interesting turn in 2010 when the Times collapsed its sports department and Zuckerman found himself asking fans to support his work covering the Washington Nationals spring training.
After an unexpected outpouring of financial support from his readers, Zuckerman launched NatsInsider.com and became one of the few reporters to successfully pull-off a paywall. Now, Zuckerman reports for Comcast Sports Network where he still covers the same team, but in a very different way than he did when his career began.
Ben Raby, who covers the Washington Capitals, works in radio, television and reports online. When Raby's career began, he was exposed to a number of different mediums. But, he couldn't decide which he liked most.
It's All Journalism producers Megan Cloherty and Michael O'Connell talk to Zuckerman and Raby about how "new media" has redefined their jobs and altered sports journalism for good — and bad.

HVAC Valve as a valve serves a large variety of needs in HVAC automatic temperature control systems. HVAC Control valves come in a wide assortment of shapes and sizes, and can be controlled in many ways. Mainly three different types of HVAC valves are used ball valve, globe valve and butterfly valve. Ball Valves control hot and chilled water with glycol solutions up to 50% in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to provide two-position or modulating functions. The key principle of globe valve operation is the perpendicular movement of the disk away from the seat. This causes the annular space between the disk and seat ring to gradually close as the valve is closed. A butterfly valve, is a quarter turn ,rotary motion valve that is used to stop, regulate, and start fluid (air, gas, water, steam) flow in pipes. Butterfly valves are easily and quickly operated because of 90o rotation of disk from a fully closed to fully opened position. Butterfly valves are also called quick turn valves.
Increasing demand for residential sector is expected to drive the demand for HVAC Valve market. Moreover, increasing demand from commercial applications are raising the demand for has led to increased demand for HVAC Valve.

Tennessee Wins Digital Government Achievement Award for Driver Service Center iPads
NASHVILLE --- The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security announced Monday that Tennessee has earned a Digital Government Achievement Award for use of Apple iPad technology in its state driver service centers. The iPads are located inside certain centers to help improve wait times for customers who need to renew or replace driver licenses.
The Center for Digital Government issues the Digital Government Achievement Awards for outstanding state and local agency and department websites and applications. Fifty-six awards in eight categories were given this year. Tennessee's iPad project was honored in the Government-to-citizen State government category.
"We are honored to earn this award, but it is the satisfaction of our customers, the citizens of Tennessee, that matters most. Our customers have reacted very positively to this technology. Thousands of citizens have used these new tools to easily and quickly renew their driver licenses," Commissioner Bill Gibbons said.
The department installed 72 iPad kiosks last June inside 26 driver service centers across Tennessee. Customers who visit specified driver service centers to simply renew or replace a lost driver license may use a special application installed on the iPads to quickly complete and pay for the transaction using a credit or debit card. Customers normally receive the new driver license within minutes of the transaction. Other services are also available by using the iPads, including the ability to change addresses on existing driver licenses and process reinstatement payments. In the near future, customers will be able to use the iPads to schedule road test appointments.
The department also encourages citizens to renew driver licenses online at www.tn.gov.
The Center for Digital Government is a national research and advisory organization providing information technology policies and best-practices guidelines for state and local governments. The awards program is in its 17th year.
The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security's (www.TN.Gov/safety) mission is to ensure the safety and general welfare of the public. The department encompasses the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Office of Homeland Security and Driver License Services. General areas of responsibility include law enforcement, safety education, motorist services and terrorism prevention.

NORTHBROOK — A predominantly Korean congregation in Northbrook held an outdoor worship service Sunday to protest actions village officials have taken to prevent them from meeting in a warehouse the church owns in an industrial park.
Northbrook officials say city zoning laws prevent the Petra Presbyterian Church from using the warehouse for services because it is in an industrial park. Officials also say the warehouse violates building codes governing facilities that host mass meetings.

|An essential aspect of science is a community of scholars cooperating and competing in the pursuit of common goals. A critical component of this community is the common language of and the universal standards for scholarly citation, credit attribution, and the location and retrieval of articles and books. We propose a similar universal standard for citing quantitative data that retains the advantages of print citations, adds other components made possible by, and needed due to, the digital form and systematic nature of quantitative data sets, and is consistent with most existing subfield-specific approaches. Although the digital library field includes numerous creative ideas, we limit ourselves to only those elements that appear ready for easy practical use by scientists, journal editors, publishers, librarians, and archivists.

Stena Line orders Ropax vessels at Samsung Heavy Industries
Stena Line has ordered two new RoPax vessels valued at around SEK 2 billion (US $289 million) from Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea.
The vessels will be put into service in 2011 and they are planned to operate on the Rotterdam-Harwich route.
"We have invested about SEK 7 billion in recent years in new and modernized vessels and we have decided to invest a further SEK 6 billion in new ships. The new vessels are part of Stena Line's strategy of improving capacity, service and quality, for our freight customers," says Gunnar Blomdahl, Stena Line's CEO.
The two new RoPax vessels will be built in South Korea by Samsung Heavy Industries. The shipyard has previously built a number of shuttle tankers and ice-class tankers for Stena Bulk.
"We are very pleased that we'e contracted Samsung to build the vessels as we know that they can deliver top quality vessels," says Gunnar Blomdahl.
The two new RoPax vessels are sister ships to the Stena Trader and the Stena Traveller, which went into service on the North Sea earlier this year. The vessels will also be equipped with the latest energy management technology, making them as efficient as possible to run.
"Our focus has been to make the new vessels as energy- and fuel-efficient as possible to minimize their environmental impact, whilst being cost-effective," says Gunnar Blomdahl.

If a spot by the sea is your idea of home, Norfolk rests along the Chesapeake Bay with waterfront residences, shops and restaurants galore. Seven miles of beachfront and 144 miles of shoreline along the city's rivers, lakes and bay make for an array of scenic surroundings. But don't get us wrong; The Tree City also houses botanical gardens and multiple parks. One of the largest municipalities in the Hampton Roads region, Norfolk is brimming with arts and culture, offering festivals, performances, museums and higher education options to its 245,000 residents.
With a population that's large and diverse, you're bound to run into anyone: young professionals, students from Norfolk State and Old Dominion University, members of the U.S. Navy, doctors and reps from the city's burgeoning healthcare community, or any number of artists, from actors to opera singers. It's an educated, ethnically and racially diverse coastal town with something to offer everyone. Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval base in the world, drives a large portion of the local economy, as does shipbuilding, the healthcare complex, railways and defense contracting, though a fair percentage of Norfolk dwellers telecommute and work from home.
This is a city with a slew of options unto itself, but it's also connected to Newport News and the Delmarva Peninsula through bridges and tunnels, for access to additional beaches, museums and historic sites. With stunning natural surroundings, it lends itself to a number of aquatic activities, all while existing just a few hours outside of the state capitol. While you'll most likely need a car, some areas of Norfolk are incredibly walkable: downtown, with an arts district and bayside attractions, is a perfect place to take a stroll, and the nearby Ghent District neighborhoods are an ideal place to call home if you're sans vehicle. If you've got two wheels, the city offers a number of bike lanes as well as the We Roll Together initiative, which campaigns to create a bike-friendly city through education, maps and trails.
If you're looking for fun in the sun, you can always hit the beaches. Be sure to stop in for bayside dining along Ocean View Avenue, and scout out some of the city's best diverse international food hidden in little-expected strip malls throughout the area. Go fishing at one of the area's many spots to cast a line, try kayaking on the water, or play a round of golf at a water-view course. Feel like monkeying around? Try a visit to the Virginia Zoo. And with The Virginia Opera, the Virginia Symphony, the Virginia Arts Festival and the Virginia Stage Company all in play, there's no reason not to catch a performance and feel incredibly cultured, and lucky, in these beautiful surroundings.

Seborrheic keratosis
|Seborrheic keratosis
|Multiple seborrheic keratoses on the dorsum of a patient with Leser–Trélat sign.
A seborrheic keratosis, also known as seborrheic verruca, basal cell papilloma, or a senile wart,[1][2]:767[3]:637 is a non-cancerous (benign) skin tumour that originates from cells in the outer layer of the skin (keratinocytes). Like liver spots, seborrheic keratoses are seen more often as people age.[4]
The tumours (also called lesions) appear in various colours, from light tan to black. They are round or oval, feel flat or slightly elevated, like the scab from a healing wound, and range in size from very small to more than 2.5 centimetres (1 in) across.[5] They can often come in association with other skin conditions, including basal cell carcinoma.[6] Sometimes seborrheic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma occur at the same location, and sometimes seborrheic keratosis progresses to basal cell carcinoma. At clinical examination the differential diagnosis includes warts[4] and melanoma. Because only the top layers of the epidermis are involved, seborrheic keratoses are often described as having a "pasted on" appearance. Some dermatologists refer to seborrheic keratoses as "seborrheic warts", because they resemble warts, but strictly speaking the term "warts" refers to lesions that are caused by human papillomavirus.[7]
Seborrheic keratoses may be divided into the following types:[2]:769–770
- Common seborrheic keratosis (basal cell papilloma, solid seborrheic keratosis)
- Reticulated seborrheic keratosis (adenoid seborrheic keratosis)
- Stucco keratosis (digitate seborrheic keratosis, hyperkeratotic seborrheic keratosis, serrated seborrheic keratosis, verrucous seborrheic keratosis) -- Often are light brown to off-white. Pinpoint to a few millimeters in size. Often found on the distal tibia, ankle, and foot.[8]
- Clonal seborrheic keratosis
- Irritated seborrheic keratosis (inflamed seborrheic keratosis)
- Seborrheic keratosis with squamous atypia
- Melanoacanthoma (pigmented seborrheic keratosis)
- Dermatosis papulosa nigra—Commonly found among adult dark-skinned individuals, presents on the face as small benign papules from a pinpoint to a few millimeters in size.[9]
- Inverted follicular keratosis[10]
The cause of seborrheic keratosis is not known.[4]
Visual diagnosis is made by the "stuck on" appearance, horny pearls or cysts embedded in the structure. Darkly pigmented lesions can be challenging to distinguish from nodular melanomas.[11] Furthermore, thin seborrheic keratoses on facial skin can be very difficult to differentiate from lentigo maligna even with dermatoscopy. Clinically, epidermal nevi are similar to seborrheic keratoses in appearance. Epidermal nevi are usually present at or near birth. Condylomas and warts can clinically resemble seborrheic keratoses, and dermatoscopy can be helpful. On the penis and genital skin, condylomas and seborrheic keratoses can be difficult to differentiate, even on biopsy.
A study examining over 4000 biopsied skin lesions identified as seborrheic keratoses showed 3.1% were malignancies. Two-thirds of those were squamous cell carcinoma.[12]
To date, the gold standard in the diagnosis of seborrheic keratosis is represented by the histolopathologic analysis of a skin biopsy.
No treatment of seborrheic keratoses is necessary, except for aesthetic reasons.[4] Since a slightly increased risk of localized infection caused by picking at the lesion has been described, if a lesion becomes itchy or irritated by clothing or jewelry, a surgical excision is generally recommended.
Small lesions can be treated with light electrocautery. Larger lesions can be treated with electrodesiccation and curettage, shave excision, or cryosurgery. When correctly performed, removal of seborrheic keratoses will not cause much visible scarring except in persons with dark skin tones.
Seborrheic keratosis is the most common benign skin tumor. Incidence increases with age. There is less prevalence in people with darker skin.[13] In large-cohort studies, 100% of the patients over age 50 had at least one seborrheic keratosis.[14] Onset is usually in middle age, although they are common in younger patients too—found in 12% of 15-year-olds to 25-year-olds—making the term "senile keratosis" a misnomer.[15]

A Career with UNDP
Put your ideas, experience and expertise to work.
At the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit on 25 September 2015, world leaders adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which includes a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change by 2030.
We want your help to do it.
As the UN´s global development network, UNDP is at the forefront of today´s development dialogue in championing the poor and disadvantaged. Our focus is on providing developing countries with knowledge-based consulting services and building national, regional and global coalitions for change. With a strong history of inclusion and consensus-building, UNDP has earned the trust and partnership of leaders across the developing world.
We are now hiring a new generation of expert practitioners who want to contribute to those partnerships by offering strategic approaches to long-standing problems. We seek individuals who can communicate advice and new ideas across cultures and all strata of society.
We have a wide range of international opportunities at various levels; competitive salaries offered commensurate with experience.
UNDP, as a matter of practice, does not charge any application, processing or training fee at any stage of the recruitment process.
UNDP is currently aware of fictitious vacancy announcements that are being circulated through the internet, the purpose of which is to get people to register for a training and send in a fee. If you believe that you have received such a notice, please forward it, and any other related information you have received, to firstname.lastname@example.com. Since logos, emblems, names and addresses can be easily copied or reproduced, you are advised to take particular care in applying for vacancies, including undertaking all appropriate measures to protect against the unauthorised use of any personal information you may have provided as a result of the scam.

Inside a posh New York City restaurant frequented by the media elite, Al Gore celebrates his big get for Current TV -- ousted MSNBC's loudest voice, Keith Olbermann. "[He] is a gifted thinker, an amazing talent and a powerful communicator," says Current TV's Chairman Gore about his newest employee. "In a world where there are fewer and fewer opportunities to hear truly distinct, unfettered voices on television, we are delighted to provide Keith with the independent platform and freedom that Current can, and does uniquely offer."
"Now Olbermann will really never be seen or heard," snorts one radio talk show host, referring to Current TV's scant viewership -- Nielsen reports the channel gets as little as 25,000 viewers. Still, Gore hopes that Olbermann's new post as the company's Chief News Officer, along with his equity stake in Current Media, will bolster ratings. "Among his many talents, he has an eye for what works, what doesn't, who would be good on his show and potentially doing other shows," Gore tells reporters in a conference call.
At this week's upfronts, where TV executives showcase new programming for advertisers, the Olbermann news bought Current some much-needed currency. The channel's new shows are inspiring, especially for viewers who want what Current TV CEO Mark Rosenthal refers to as, "real reality programming, not scripted reality programming." Current TV seeks to open minds, spark conversations and form a deep connection with its viewers. Must-see meaningful TV? A noble concept, perhaps even Paddy Chayefsky would've approved.
While waiting for Olbermann's new show to debut (possibly in May), check out some of Current TV's other offerings:
News show where correspondents tackle the hot issues, think: immigration, teenage drug use and tobacco.

it is Wednesday (hump day), June 14, 2017.
We're in the middle of the week. If you are a high school senior, you have either graduated or your day will be Thursday or Friday of this week. If you are near Emporia, Virginia, you can have a good time at the annual "Pork Festival". Today is also Flag Day. I know most of us don't do anything special on this day but I'm just reminding you of what's on the calendar.
Our focus is on getting through this week especially if you are a teacher and you are ready for the little ones to leave. "Sunshine" (grand) finished yesterday and is headed to camp until school opens in August. It is summer weather and most of us will be visiting the beaches and having picnics every weekend until the weather change. Be careful and enjoy!
Here is the question for today:
Are you sparkling now or wherever you go?
Do you leave a little shine behind? Does sparkling make you feel as though you have something to offer this world.
I know that we are not the "life of the party" at all times but who wants to be around a "dull" person that will not smile or "let their hair down" for a minute.
It's true that we all have different personalities. It doesn't matter what sort of personality you have, you can leave your own stamp on people. It's what you do with your life and how you can enhance people's lives that matter:
Here is the card that reflects today's post:
|entry for http://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com
Once the focal image was complete, I layered it on top of another piece of black Recollections cardstock before placing it onto the Neenah white card base.
Once again, thank you for your time and your viewing. I hope something said or done will enlighten your day. Most of all, I hope you can see or feel the "sparkle" I left behind.
Please come again, you're always welcome.
Sending you a hug and LOVE,

Animals We've Recruited For Pest Control...Sometimes With Great Consequences (Slideshow)
Photo credit: Sam Fraser-Smith/Creative Commons
It's no secret that the use of pesticides in agriculture is potentially dangerous.
Those that make, apply, and consume them -- everyone from factory works to farmers to everyday consumers -- are vulnerable to the harmful chemicals they contain. But pesticides also allow farmers to protect yields and meet demand for their crops.
So what are the alternatives? One method is the use of animals—including everything from bacteria and insects to reptiles and mammals—that prey on troublesome pests. But these pest predators do not come without trade-offs of their own—and some have proven to be completely devastating to local ecosystems.

We are excited to introduce you to our 2016 – 2017 Honored Child of the Year, Callie Rose. She is the ten-year-old daughter of Cindy and Roger Rose of Canonsburg, PA in the Southwest District. Callie has been diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy but that has never kept her down. She attends 5th grade at North Strabane Intermediate School, where she participates entirely in the regular courses and maintains straight A's. She plays on the "Mighty Penguins" sled hockey team which is sponsored by the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation along with UPMC Rehabilitation Institute and Dick's Sporting Goods. Callie recently received a new higher back sled to use. At this time, she uses a volunteer pusher but her goal is to soon be able to propel herself. Her school is purchasing wheels for the sled so she will be able to play and practice all year round. Callie likes her American Girl dolls, for which she recently purchased loft strand crutches. Callie also enjoys working on crafts such as painting and Lego's. She is also an independent Girl Scout and plays on the Miracle League. As you can see she is a very busy girl and she cannot wait to meet you all at the Spring Elks Convention.

ONCE AGAIN PA ELKS CARE and PA ELKS SHARE
Pennsylvania Elks Care - Pennsylvania Elks Share!
Since 1963, the Pennsylvania Elks Home Service program has been helping to improve the quality of life for thousands of children and adults throughout Pennsylvania. Read on to learn more about the program and how to make a referral…..
Services are provided:
· By a Nurse and/or Medical Case Coordinator
· In the person's home environment
· Without discrimination
· FREE of charge
Who is eligible to receive services?
· An individual of any age who has a developmental disability (a disability that is manifested before the age of 22)
· A child or adult with physical or mental delays or a combination of both
· Services can continue throughout a person's lifetime, if needed
How are referrals made?
· By a friend or concerned Elk
· By a health care professional
· By school personnel
· By community and human service agencies
· By a family member
***Permission must first be obtained from the individual or family
When a referral is made:
· A visit is made to the home for an intake and initial assessment. The needs of the family and environment are noted at this time
· After discussing the needs with the individual or family, we help to determine the appropriate referrals for services
· When referrals are made, we can assist with follow-up. Home visits are then made on an as needed basis.
The program is primarily
funded by donations from the 110 Elks lodges in
The target population of the Elks Home
Service Program is any resident of

Physical things --- everyday events --- that so many of us take for granted, can be great victories for those individuals facing these challenges. Just learning how to feed themselves a single bite of food can be a satisfying accomplishment. For one of our clients to just stand up, or even simply flash a brief smile, can bring him or her a real sense of pride. We who are able-bodied are obligated morally to give our fellow human beings whatever we can to allow them to experience just one of the everyday activities we enjoy; a drink of water without spilling it; writing their own name legibly; taking a step without faltering. It isn't pity they need, just some help and understanding; the hope that one compassionate human being can give to another.
Unfortunately, as enlightened and informed as today's society is, many of us do not care about anything but our own little world. We are unaware of the challenges that many persons with developmental disabilities face. Many people "fall through the cracks" of today's social service system and have no one to help them. These are the people who benefit most from the Pennsylvania Elks Home Service Program. A group of highly-dedicated Registered Nurses and staff who constantly search for new ways to help their clients become more independent and contributing members of their communities. These efforts have allowed many persons to establish a viable communication with loved ones and friends. In some cases our clients have gained employment to become contributors to the world in which they live. This is not charity, but merely a hand to people who can -- and will -- help themselves.
While you read this, the world's doctors
and scientists are looking diligently for ways to prevent or cure these
disabilities. However today's bureaucratic red tape usually requires a lawyer's
mind when it comes to obtaining the assistance the Elks clients need to become
as independent as possible. The knowledge, skill and compassion needed to do
this job right are all traits the 26
The clients in the Elks Home Service
Program pay NOTHING AT ALL for this in-home consultation service that is
primarily financed by the 110
Today, our more compassionate society views many things in a different light, and more individuals with disabilities are becoming involved in the communities where they live. The Pennsylvania Elks Home Service staff have no cure, no magic waters, no cute little treatments; just a little bit of hope. They can provide a chance for independence for the people who need it most, and thus give them a chance to enjoy simple everyday life.
The Pennsylvania Elks Home Service visitor is usually called in when someone is a few dollars over the cutoff point for government help. A referral can be made when a dedicated mother finds her life dominated by a child's developmental needs, or when our fast-paced, "bottom line" society allows a person to "slip" through the cracks. It is here, at the point where other programs end, that the Pennsylvania Elks Home Service Program truly BEGINS. You see, our staff doesn't have to obey edicts made by people who enjoy good health and income, nor do we have to worry about our clients being a dollar ABOVE or BELOW a certain income. Because of this, the Pennsylvania Elks Home Service visitors are able to devote all of their energies into helping their clients. They have sat at a hospital waiting for a client who has no other family, and they have located apartments for young adults who merely want a life of their own on their own. By being totally unencumbered by the rigidity of rules made by those who have no knowledge of the problems, the Pennsylvania Elks staff has a flexibility that allows them to give the individual client maximum attention.
Beyond the obvious medical assistance, it's at that point when no one else steps forward that the Pennsylvania Elks Home Service visitor really shines. She CAN -- and she WILL stand up for the rights of a child or adult with a disability. The Elks want them to have the best education possible; to live independently; to travel and to fully enjoy ALL the privileges and rights that all citizens are entitled to. We can do this because our staff is not hampered by special interests or the will of ambitious and unscrupulous people. None of the members of the Pennsylvania Elks Major Projects Board of Directors is paid a penny, and this means that the Elks Home Service Program is one program where EVERY PENNY given is used as it was intended --- to help our clients in YOUR community!
All administrative expenses are provided
for by a grant from the Elks National Foundation, therefore every dollar earned
by the Elks lodges goes directly to help the children and adults we serve. Each year of maintaining this vital program
takes an increasing amount of money, all of it raised through voluntary
contributions obtained through the 110 Elks Lodges in
We don't ask a monthly stipend to help a child in a foreign land, which as a noble effort indeed, but our members are asked instead to contribute just $10.00 PER YEAR to help a child in YOUR COMMUNITY; in their community. We will accept donations from any interested individual, and they are tax-deductible under the 501c3 IRS guidelines. If you are an ELK in Pennsylvania this donation is as easy as setting aside two thin dimes, that's just 20 cents of your hard-earned money, every week for a year; and you're even allowed the customary "two week vacation." But when your year ends we'll have our needed $10.00 from you. Why not try putting your pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters into a small jar every night, then use the contents of that as your --- let's not say donation --- but your way of CELEBRATING your own healthy life! It's a terrific way to not only acknowledge your own good fortune, but it WILL allow one of your Pennsylvania neighbors to live more independently --- and you'll be doing all this for only 20 cents a week!
There is no better way to remember a loved one than with a donation or bequest to the Pennsylvania Major Projects Legacy Trust Fund. The Legacy Trust Fund is a permanent fund where all donations are wisely invested, and only the dividends from these donations are used to augment the current Elks Home Service Program income; thus, the ever-expanding principal remains intact forever. This means a bequest is the most feasible way of making your donation work for others well into the future. We thank you, and we wish you GOOD HEALTH!
'Miracle babies' also 'Children of the Year'
By Michael C. Spearing
The Elks recognized the three-year-old
twins a recent press conference in District Justice Brad Lunsford's courtroom
While Jack Orlandi, Exalted Ruler of State College Lodge 1600 spoke, John and Alan and their brother and sister, Josh and Sierra, availed themselves of all useable furniture within striking distance to make toy car highways, mountains to climb and sliding boards to slide on.
Born on
Orlandi said the Pennsylvania Elks Home Service visiting nurse for Centre County, Karen Kay McKalips, was the driving force behind the children's selection out of the hundreds of deserving youngsters.
"Karen lobbied for them at the state
level," Orlandi said. "She told them she thought it was about time
According to the Twin-to-Twin Transfusion
Syndrome Foundation, located in
As a result, one baby gets too much blood, overloading the cardiovascular system, and may die from heart failure. The other baby gets too little blood and may die from anemia.
The babies themselves are normal. The abnormalities are in the placenta, but numerous problems result from the condition.
"Alan was 11 inches long and weighed 1 pound 21/2 ounces when he was born," Andrea Murray said. "John was 14 inches long and weighed 2 pounds 3 ounces."
She said John was born with cardiac
problems and Alan with a host of conditions. Both boys are doing well now,
"John was in the hospital for 95 days and his care cost $600,000, and Alan was in for 195 days and cost about $1.3 million," she said. "Getting all those bills was so stressful. We got stacks and stacks of them."
She said a pleasant surprise came from the doctors and hospitals.
"One day out of the blue, they (the billing office) called us and said, 'We know how hard you've tried,' and then they wrote it off."
Orlandi said Wednesday's event was in recognition of the twins and their indomitable spirit. He said he thought McKalips had it right when she wrote, "Even though they were so tiny you could hold them in your hand, they had a huge will to live. It wasn't the size of the children, but the determination in their hearts that made these little boys survive."

Hamilton, New York (January 31, 2014) - The Colgate women's hockey team hosted its 4th Annual Autism Awareness Game tonight. The women raised autism awareness during the game by wearing custom-designed autism awareness jerseys and with an honorary puck drop to recognize their team manager Katie, who has autism. Throughout the night, they raised money through t-shirt sales, raffles and jersey auctions. During the game, the stadium played recordings of the players reciting information on autism and sharing information about the four pillars of Autism Speaks' mission: science, awareness, family services and advocacy.
Aside from their amazing job fundraising and spreading awareness, the Colgate women did an awesome job on the ice! After being tied 2-2 to Brown after the 3rd period, Colgate took a win in overtime!
Last year, the team raised over $7,000 for Autism Speaks. This year, their goal is to raise $10,000. On behalf of all of our families, Autism Speaks would like to thank the Colgate Women's Hockey Team for their hard work and dedication. Looking forward to the 5th annual game in 2015!
Watch the team's video about the game below:
