U.S. blood supply critically low
BY HEATHER MOYER | Bayport, CO | October 22, 2000
The United States' blood supply is critically low, the American Red Cross reported last week. Major cities are hardest hit, including New York, Los
Angeles, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit, and Washington, D.C.
Disaster relief organizations say when blood shortages arise, they get just as involved. "As (Church World Service) people we at times become involved with all aspects of
disaster. If there was a blood shortage in an area, we would then encourage the interfaith to put the word out to their congregations," said Joann Hale, a Church World Service
(CWS) disaster resource consultant.
The blood shortage makes any demand during an emergency much harder to meet. "Patients who need blood in emergency situations absolutely depend on a readily available
supply," said Red Cross President and CEO Dr. Bernadine Healy. "A blood shortage is a disaster, and we need the same level of public support for this disaster as we do for a
hurricane, tornado, flood, or fire." The summer is usually a low supply time for the country because high schools, universities, and colleges are not in session. This group makes
up fifteen percent of the Red Cross' collection during the non-summer months.
Linnea Anderson of the Red Cross of Central Maryland said they're trying to step up recruitment efforts during the shortage to get the blood supplies back to normal. "We do
try to get notice out before the shortages happen, but many don't take notice until the cupboard is bare, until it's an alarming thing," said Anderson.
St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore reports that it has been feeling the crunch quite a bit, though. The hospital receives all its blood from the Red Cross and said while they have been
able to meet all needs, their supplies have been low. Methodist Hospitals of Dallas said they've been experiencing a general shortage of blood all year but have had no major
problems. "So far we've been able to meet all demands," said Gary Morey of the hospital. "We don't expect anything bad to happen this summer though, either."

For the first time in 12 years, violent crime in Los Angeles has climbed to a stunningly high rate, driven by an increase in reported aggravated assaults.
Crimes in the four categories that account for Los Angeles's violence are robberies, homicides, rapes, and aggravated assaults.
According to the Los Angeles Times, while the percentage of robberies and homicides saw a slight increase, rape saw a 12.4 percent spike. Aggravated assaults shot up by 24.2 percent, compared with the rate of assaults in 2013. The Times posits that the increase correlates with a gross understatement of the city's true level of crime. The LAPD's misclassification of nearly 1,200 serious violent crimes as being low-level offenses over the course of a one year period also plays a role. Police reportedly recorded aggravated assaults as minor incidents during that period as well, the Times notes.
This year alone, the LAPD's statistics show that 1,900 aggravated assaults occurred in 2014 than in 2014. Over 900 incidences of domestic violence cases were also recorded. That statistic is reportedly four times the amount recorded last year.
The dramatic increases are reportedly attributed in large part to a national campaign to improve awareness about domestic violence, which allegedly emboldened more victims who were willing to come forward and report the crimes to authorities.
"Things don't quadruple from one year to the next," said criminology professor at Northeastern University James Alan Fox to the Times. "There is no real reason to believe that all of a sudden men and women are abusing their partners more than ever."
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said he does not think L.A. is any less safe than before, citing the historically-low level of homicide and shootings in the city.
"I think we have some things we have to work on. But folks have to recognize that crime cascades over time… That doesn't mean that every year will be safer in every exact category as the year before. But the overall trend in crime in Los Angeles has just dropped dramatically," Beck told the Times.
Some experts suggested to the Times that due to the LAPD's recent changes to the way it classifies crimes, it probably will take several years before they can provide an accurate accounting of crime in the city.The LAPD's year-end statistics are slated for release in mid-January.

The five element pagoda is a powerful cure for the deadly 5 YELLOW in Period 8... all through the next twenty years, the 5 yellow becomes even more powerful than it was in period 7 being an earth star in an earth period. This brass 5 element pagoda is specially designed with the character "Chien" to suppress the deadly 5 yellow. Chien is a powerful sign which represents heaven. In addition, it is carved with auspicious calligraphy featuring "Fuk Luk Sau" to protect family members.

The corset is finished!
It's done!
Kind of. I didn't get the chance to put as much glass on the corset as I wanted to. I plan to encrust more glass and pearls onto it in the coming days.
John, my professor, also asked that I make a few changes. He thinks that it would look better without the waistband -- he thinks that it distracts from the embellishments. I really like it and I'll be sad to see it go. It seemed his real problem was with the bow at the back, so maybe if I found a way to remove the bow but keep the waistband, we could find a happy medium.
He also suggested that I change the shoulder straps from grosgrain ribbon to some other kind of strap. He said that it cheapens the look and that the white of the ribbon and the white of the pleather are different and that bothered him.
He seemed to be pleased overall by my work. I'm really happy with the result and I'm looking forward to developing it more.

dogs on leash
kid friendly
nature trips
trail running
Bring plenty of water - the water in the restrooms is non-potable.
Easy hike with awesome reward. Starts at a parking lot in Ciona next to Osteria Ciona. Walk through tiny town and next to several homesites before getting to the trailhead. Once you get to the top where the restaurant is and the disembark point for the cable car, use the restroom and take in the views to the southeast before heading up another hundred feet or so to the church. The top of the church provides the best panoramic views.
