Cecostomy is a surgery to clear the bowels of feces. It is used for children with fecal incontinence due to severe health problems. Fecal incontinence is being unable to control your bowels. This can involve symptoms ranging from severe constipation to having a bowel movement at an unexpected or embarrassing time.
Children with this problem often have severe constipation. In some cases, liquid feces passes around the solid feces. It can leak out which can be embarrassing and frustrating for the child.
Cecostomy is slightly different from the traditional enema that is used to relieve constipation. An enema is given directly through the rectum to help release the feces.
In the cecostomy, a tube (catheter) is used for the procedure. This tube is inserted into the cecum. This is the first portion of the bowel or large intestines. It is located in the lower right abdomen. Liquid medicine is injected into the cecum through this tube. This helps coax the feces out of the body through the rectum.
Generally, fecal incontinence would have to be very severe and not responding to other treatments to require a cecostomy. Most children with this problem will have success with other less invasive types of treatment.
The procedure may be needed if your child has any of the following:
The anus isn't allowing feces to pass properly (an imperforate anus)
Spinal problems, such as spina bifida
A combination of the two above health problems
Other muscular problems
Most children do not have any problems with the procedure. However, it does have some risks. These include:
Catheter getting displaced
An infection in the abdomen (peritonitis) caused by misplacing the catheter
Mechanical failure of the catheter
Growth of tissue at the catheter site
Bleeding and irritation at the catheter site
Skin infections and other infections around the insertion point for the catheter
Getting ready for the procedure includes the following:
Before the cecostomy tube can be inserted, a bowel prep may be done to clean the colon.
The bowel prep includes following a clear-fluid diet for two days before the procedure.
The night before the procedure, your child will likely need to drink a solution provided by the healthcare provider. This is a laxative used to clean out the bowels.
On the day of the procedure, an abdominal X-ray will be used to make sure the bowel is free of stool.
Your child will need to stay in the hospital for the procedure to insert the cecostomy tube. The stay usually lasts around one or two days. In general, the procedure will go as follows:
Doctors will usually use IV sedation (relaxed while awake for the procedure) or a general anesthesia (asleep for the procedure) for cecostomy tube insertion.
Doctors usually inflate the colon with air until the cecum is distended.
The doctor puts surgical tools through the skin and into the cecum and attaches the bowel to the abdominal wall with stitches, sutures, or fasteners.
The doctor inserts a special hollow needle into the cecum.
A catheter, or narrow tube, is threaded through this needle and into the cecum.
This procedure can also be done with a laparoscope. With this technique, the doctor puts a laparoscope into the belly button.
The process outlined above is what is done to insert the cecostomy tube. The process of a cecostomy itself will then be done occasionally to relieve the bowels based on your child's needs.
Once the cecostomy tube has been put in, your child will stay in the hospital until the next day for observation. This will help lessen the risk of complications. Your child may need to go back to the doctor for a "contrast study" to make sure that the catheter is placed properly. For this test, contrast dye is injected through the catheter and into the cecum. Then an X-ray is used to examine this dye and make sure that it travels into the cecum. Your child may also need to return for replacement of the original catheter tube.
The insertion of the cecostomy tube is just the first step in relieving fecal incontinence. After about a week, you will give your child an enema through the cecostomy tube at home, with guidance from your child's doctor. This process will involve putting liquid into the cecostomy tube. This liquid will pass into the cecum to encourage a bowel movement. Your child's doctor will tell you how often this will need to be done.
Tell your child's healthcare provider about any of the following:
A noticeable skin infection at the catheter site
Bleeding or swelling at the site
Pus leaking from the site
The catheter becomes dislodged or moves
Abdominal pain
Your child will likely need to have the catheter removed and replaced occasionally. This will have to be done for hygiene reasons and to avoid the risk of complications.

Jigsaw and CDI: A Perfect FitFriday, March 5th, 2010
Over the last couple of weeks, I've been getting oriented with Jigsaw, seeing the progress they're making and wondering how this work will affect our Java EE world. Though I still have a few questions remaining, I've found the high-level concepts to be very impressive. Moreover, the language-level approach that Jigsaw is taking is well-suited to integration with Java CDI. As you may know, Caucho is a major supporter of the Java CDI spec and we're working on our own implementation, called CanDI. In this blog post, I'll talk about the cool parts of Jigsaw and sketch a proposal for how Jigsaw and CDI might work together in the future.

From the Food Editor: Suburban treat makers sweet on chocolate
When the wind blows in the right direction, the sweet aroma of Bloomer Chocolate Company can nearly knock you right off the road as you drive into the Loop.
But chocolate does not just hail from our Windy City. A handful of suburban chocolatiers and treat shops will be showing off their confections at the Chicago Fine Chocolate and Dessert Show Oct. 18-20 at Navy Pier, and, thankfully, this show is open to the public.
The Chocolate Pretzel Pizza from Sweet Secrets Artisan Chocolate in Wheaton, for example, is a finalist for Best New Product.
Chocolatiers Terri Kinney and DeDe Barnicle came up with the Chocolate Pretzel Pizza by combining their kids' love of chocolate and pretzels into a pizza. Their signature pretzel bark provides the crust; toppings include crunchy pretzel pieces, broken sugar cones, sugarcoated chocolate candies, chocolate cookie chunks, double chocolate chips, sprinkles and a chocolate drizzle.
This unique treat, available in single servings and shareable (or so they say!) 9-inch and 12.5-inch sizes, are packed in a pizza-style box. The larger pizzas also come with a special mallet for breaking into bite-sized pieces.
Kinney said the treat has become as popular, maybe even more so, as the truffles that started their business rolling.
"We're seeing many parents send them to their college-aged kids as a care package or a treat before finals." Check out sweetsecretschocolate.com for the entire line of treats.
Other suburban companies to keep an eye out for while you're at the show include All Chocolate Kitchen (Geneva), Aztec Gold Gourmet Chocolates (Cary), Crio Bru (St. Charles), Four Brothers (Wheaton), Oak Mill Bakery (Des Plaines) and Ts Toffee (Spring Grove).
Besides wandering among the aisles of handcrafted goodies, you can watch baking and treat-making demos from the passionate pros at the French Pastry School or sit in on the confectionery seminars. Tickets cost $25 and are available at chicagochocolatefestival.com.
Not singing the blues: Pastry chef extraordinaire Alain Roby will be among the celebrity chefs at the Navy Pier chocolate show and he's got plenty to sing about.
Besides the success of his shop All Chocolate Kitchen in Geneva and his upcoming induction into the Chicago Culinary Museum's Chefs Hall of Fame, Roby will unveil his latest all-chocolate sculpture -- a 1,000-pound, life-size blues musician -- at the Chicago Fine Chocolate & Dessert Show. If that wasn't enough, this week he launches the second edition of his cookbook (it will be available on amazon.com as of Oct. 12).
"Alain Roby's American Classics, Casual and Elegant Desserts" ($39.95) includes mouthwatering recipes from the original book (Raspberry and Blueberry Summer Pudding, Caramel Pumpkin Flan) and promises more unique treats.
You can also get the book and see some of Roby's other chocolate and sugar creations at All Chocolate Kitchen, 33 S. Third St., in downtown Geneva.
Inspired, but need more time? The deadline for entering the Daily Herald's Home Baking Challenge has been pushed to Oct. 21.
As a refresher, we're looking for recipes in the following categories: bread pudding, butter tarts, carrot muffins, Christmas fruit cake, coconut macaroons, lemon pound cake, marble Bundt cake, oatmeal cookies, peanut brittle and pecan pie. You can enter multiple categories.
Baking experts will review the recipes and invite the bakers of the top three recipes in each of the categories to present their treats to a panel of judges (including Baking Secrets columnist Annie Overboe and myself) Nov. 7 during our Home Baking Event at Novak and Parker in Mount Prospect.
Recipes will be evaluated on taste, creativity, appearance and texture. The top recipe in each category will then compete for prizes at America's Baking and Sweets Show, Nov. 15-17 in Schaumburg.
Good luck.
If you just want to come to the Home Baking Event for the baking and treat decorating demos, sit tight. Details on tickets will be forthcoming.
• Contact Food Editor Deborah Pankey at firstname.lastname@example.com or (847) 427-4524. Be her friend at Facebook.com/DebPankey.DailyHerald or follow her on Instagram, Pinterest or Twitter @PankeysPlate.

From Wikipedia
Brand/Importer Information:
Within five years, Walthers had grown so much that larger quarters were needed. Space was found on Erie Street, where everything -- from milled wood parts to metal castings to decals -- was made in-house. 1937 also saw a new line in HO Scale, featured in its own catalog. Bill brought operating layouts to the 1939 World's Fair, which gave the hobby a big boost. Soon, though, the growing possibility of war overshadowed these successes, and supplies were becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.
During the war, model manufacturers were ordered to stop production in order to conserve critical metal supplies. Walthers produced what it could from nonessential materials. A series of ads in 1943 saw Bill literally scraping the bottom of a barrel! The postwar boom meant rapid growth for the hobby; however, small homes and new families left no room for O scale layouts, and many modelers moved to HO Scale.
The next twenty years brought great change. In 1958, Bill retired and his son Bruce took over. Just as full-size railroads were being hard-hit by new technology, so too were model railroads. Leisure time was spent in front of the TV set, not the train set. In 1960, Walthers became a full-line distributor of other manufacturers' products while continuing expansion of the Walthers lines. By the start of the 1970's, business was booming again, and Bruce's son Phil joined the company.
Expansion and diversification continue under Phil's tenure. The establishment of the Walthers Importing Division added several international lines. The manufacturing plant was modernized. Code 83 track was introduced in 1985, giving layouts more realistic proportions. In 1990, the Cornerstone Series buildings were unveiled. Combining a freight car with a related industry, the Cornerstone Series makes it possible for modelers to duplicate authentic operations, enhancing layout realism. The Train Line Deluxe Sets and locomotives debuted in 1994. These sets feature the detailing of serious models and an affordable price -- allowing newcomers to get started, and then build-on to their first set, rather than replacing it.
In 2005, Walthers purchased Life-Like from Lifoam Industries. With this purchase Walthers acquired the Proto Lines that have become the backbone of their locomotive and rolling stock segments.
Today, Walthers continues to expand, improve and develop a wide range of products. Their latest selection can be found throughout Walthers.com and their printed catalogs, along with items from over 300 other manufacturers.

Milwaukee's mayor lends a hand filling potholes
Milwaukee's mayor lends a hand filling potholes
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett helped fill potholes Wednesday morning.
Now that it seems winter is officially over, pothole crews have switched to using hot mix asphalt, which works better at filling the holes.
Barrett talked a little bit about how much this costs the city.
"This year we've had over 5,000 calls, which is up 2,100 from last year," Barrett said. "I think we had about $1.5 million in it for this year, and that's real money."
If you live in Milwaukee and want to have potholes fixed in your neighborhood, you can call 414-286-CITY to report them.
To keep up with the increased calls, all seasonal workers are on duty to fill the potholes.

Syngenta and Bayer CropScience proposed an action plan to help unlock the EU stalemate on bee health.
This follows the failure of the European Commission to reach agreement with Member States on an appropriate response to EFSA's report on the theoretical risk to bee health from neonicotinoid pesticides.
John Atkin, Syngenta's Chief Operating Officer, said: "This comprehensive plan will bring valuable insights into the area of bee health, whereas a ban on neonicotinoids would simply close the door to understanding the problem.
(See Neonicotinoid pesticides still under fire)
"Banning these products would not save a single hive and it is time that everyone focused on addressing the real causes of declining bee populations. The plan is based on our confidence in the safety of our products and on our historical commitment to improving the environment for bees."
Dr. Rüdiger Scheitza, Member of the Board of Management of Bayer CropScience and Head of Strategy & Business Management, said: "Even though all the evidence points to various parasites and diseases being the true cause of poor bee health, we are keen to do everything in our power to give consumers confidence in our products.

"The significant lack of agreement between the European Commission and the Member States needs a bold plan so that farmers in Europe can continue to produce the high quality affordable food, in a way that promotes the health of bees and other pollinators. We believe that such a plan as this can be delivered."
The key features of the action plan are:
1. Significantly scale up the creation of pollen rich, flowering field margins across the EU to provide essential habitat and nutrition for bees.
2. Support for the establishment of a comprehensive field monitoring program for bee health including the detection of neonicotinoid crop protection products - particularly in maize, oilseed rape, sunflower and cotton.
3. Mandatory implementation of strict measures to mitigate the exposure risk to bees; these are currently already recommended by the manufacturers and effectively applied by most farmers as good agricultural practice.
4. Investment in and implementation, at the earliest opportunity, of new technologies which further reduce dust emissions from the planting of seed treated with neonicotinoid crop protection products.
5. Further investment in the research and development of new solutions for the main factors impacting bee health, which include parasites and viruses, and establishment of area-wide long-term pilot studies which demonstrate their effectiveness.
Action plan details
In further detail, the key features of the action plan are:
Significantly scale up the provision of pollen rich flowering field margins across the EU to be sown alongside bee attractive crops treated with neonicotinoids to provide habitat and nutrition.
• This would build on Syngenta's 10-year Operation Pollinator program which has demonstrated that these margins dramatically increase pollinator populations, including honeybees.
• This would address one of the main factors identified by the European Commission in the decline in bee health.
Support for the establishment of a comprehensive field monitoring program for bee health including the detection of crop protection chemicals.
• A comprehensive program, following the guidelines for surveillance projects by the EU Reference Laboratory for honey bee health, shall be established.
• The current monitoring work of the EU reference laboratories on bee health, supported by national bee institutes, should be reinforced and extended.
• Within this new scope the detection of chemicals from crop protection, particularly neonicotinoids, and veterinary products should be included.
Mandatory implementation of strict measures to mitigate the exposure risk to bees.
• High quality treatment of seed to take place only in certified production sites which participate in a Quality Assurance Scheme.
• Strict rules governing the use of treated seed, such as the mandatory use of deflectors in planting machinery, application only by professional and certified users, and improved information exchange between farmers and beekeepers.
• Bayer Crop Science recently developed "SweepAir", a new air-cleaning technology for maize sowing equipment offering a significant improvement in comparison to standard technology; first field tests with the prototype indicate a dust reduction well above 95%.
Want access to the very latest in agriculture news each day? Sign up for the Western Farm Press Daily e-mail newsletter.
Invest in and roll out new technologies which further reduce the dust emissions from the planting of seed treated with neonicotinoid crop protection chemicals.
• Bayer CropScience and Syngenta are both working on new solutions to further improve the coating of seeds treated with crop protection chemicals and the way they are planted to ensure that dust emissions are minimized.
• Some of these solutions are ready to be deployed and we commit to continuing our investment in the research and development of these risk mitigation measures.
Further invest in the research and development of new solutions for the main factors impacting bee health.
• The European Commission identifies disease and viruses such as Varroa destructor, American foulbrood, European foulbrood, Nosema spp., and honey bee viruses as the main cause of the decline in bee health.
• Bayer CropScience and Syngenta have both invested in the research and development of new solutions to these parasites, diseases and viruses and commit to stepping up our activities in this area.
• Bayer CropScience and Syngenta commit to supporting area-wide long-term pilot studies which demonstrate their effectiveness.

Allen West becomes news anchor
Ex-congressman now member of media, hosting online show
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – Former U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., has found life after Congress, and will host a brand-new online news show starting next month.
"I'm Allen West and this is Next Generation," West says in a promotional video.
"We'll shine a spotlight on the challenges facing young Americans, whether it be out-of-control spending, crushing debt or unacceptable levels of unemployment. These issues threaten the opportunities of the next generation, and our nation's collective future. We don't want the American Dream to fall by the wayside. We want to leave things better for those that come after us. That's why we're standing up for the next generation."
West will be hosting the show, produced by PJ Media, from Washington, D.C., and will be joined by correspondents Michelle Fields, a former reporter for the Daily Caller who gained attention when she confronted actor Matt Damon about teacher tenure reform in a media interview, and John Phillips, host of his own talk-radio show on KABC in Los Angeles.
The outspoken West, a favorite of the tea party, had been targeted for defeat by Democrats in one of the most high-profile congressional races last November, losing to political newcomer Patrick Murphy.
The first episode of "Next Generation" is scheduled for broadcast Feb. 4.
West, a 22-year veteran of the U.S. Army, says he'll continue to be a voice advocating for principled, pragmatic solutions to the issues affecting our constitutional republic.
"I enjoyed my time serving as a member of the 112th Congress," he said. "However, those who think losing a congressional race defines me and ends my service to my country fail to realize what drives my patriotism and passion for America. True leaders do not need a title, just a conviction, a cause, and the character enabling them to make a stand.
"To have been the first black Republican member of Congress from Florida since Josiah T. Walls in the Reconstruction Era was just the dream that my parents sought and … their goal was realized by their son. To have represented the highest-per-capita-income ZIP code in America, a place where when I was born in 1961 my parents could not have visited, truly epitomizes the essence of the 'fairness' of America. No matter where you are born, this country does not limit what you can achieve, and we do not have a system of class or caste."

What a pretty, intimate pastry shopReplyDelete
Thanks for all the info. Definitely worth the trip
- Anonymous2:49 PM
I've been reading your blog for a couple of years now, and I have to say yours is the best (and I read ALOT of blogs :)ReplyDelete
I've noticed in a couple of your posts that you'll adhere to certain "rules" for lack of a better word when it comes to food, i.e. "never eat dessert unless its fabulous" and that you "never normally eat the shortbread crust"...is this how you (and now your fellow Frenchwomen) keep your weight in check? Are there any other rules to follow that you could share or maybe do a post on them one day? I would love to hear about them....
Also, I notice you swim a lot....do you go everyday and do you find it really helps with keeping slim?
I look forward to your posts everyday.
Do as I say not as I do..Delete
I don't eat crust because I don't like it..never have.
I swim about 4 times a week because I love it and because I have to for the sciatica I had a few years back.
Otherwise it's fun to make up rules but I'm not much good at sticking to them if they interfere with my immediate desires.
I'm not French and never will be.
I snack too much.
Cheers Carolg
Where have you been all my life Rach3?Delete
I just love that shop:)ReplyDelete
I see you:)
Tu portes tes lunettes noires?:)
My friend sent me such a cute book in the mail today..well 2..but one is called My Little Paris..cannot wait to read it..
Thought of her..of me..of you:) Etc..
Interesting to see the men as Tootsies,,and Mrs.Doubtfires etc..Replies
Totally your kind of place MoniqueDelete
I hate when the young men laugh. :) I love your rule, do as I say.....ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh it was all in good funDelete
He made me laugh too ;))
The bread! So many loaves, so little...wait...do I detect a distinct preference for tartes over bread? Mais, oui! When do the loaves get their close-ups? Please, one day when you have become bored with all the beautiful pastries (maybe by l'annee 2039?), maybe un petit close-up?ReplyDelete
I love the more rustic look of this place...in contrast to the high-polish places in Paris. Lots of charm and looks delish and relaxed. Delightful as usual, CG ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
That's the word!Delete
The flavors are the same way
So great to see you write about Veronique Mauclerc! We made a pilgrimage there during our last trip to Paris and it was fab! We are heading back to Paris again next month and will be using your blog to help plan some of our itinerary. VanessaReplyDelete
- Vivian Swift5:12 AM
I was there two days ago and I loathed the place but if you enjoy the old time snotty Parisian sales staff attitude that despises the notion of customer service then by all means you should go here. And the "tea room" is just a wooden picnic table shoved into a hallway in front of the famous old stove where you can maybe get a cup of overpriced pekoe, that is, if the sales staff is in the mood, but then again, some people go for that, so if you do then this is definitely right up your alley.ReplyDelete
Just because she's a female baker doesn't mean Veronique gets free pass when it comes to professionalism. You know I'll have more to say about this rip-off joint when I get back to my blog.Replies
So sorry you had a negative experience.Delete
Many salon de the have just a communal table like that especially in London.
I think it's more convivial and fun.
I shall agree to disagree with you.

Keeping Up With The Carters: Beyonce, Jay-Z And Blue Ivy Spotted In Toronto
Mr. and Mrs. Carter took some time before they hit their respective stagess to enjoy a meal together with their daughter Blue Ivy today (July17) in Toronto, Canada.
Before kicking off his Legends of Summer tour tonight with Justin Timberlake and Beyonce heading to Chi-town for her Mrs. Carter Show, the family of three stopped in at Nervosa Trattoria for an Italian-inspired lunch. Bey waved at the waiting paparazzi and fans while Blue shared her father's somewhat confused, somewhat disinterested expression.

The four finalists for Goodyear North America's Highway Hero Award have been announced. While any one of the four could win the 27th annual award, they are all heroes in my book.
George Lantzy, of Turtle Creek, Pa.; Jesse Lee Seal, of Alma, Ark.; Stephen Page, of Gloucester, Mass.; and Junichi Shimizu, of Gladstone, Ore.; will vie for the honor, which will be announced the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville. The winning driver will receive a $10,000 U.S. Savings Bond, a plaque and a ring. The other finalists will receive a $5,000 U.S. Savings Bond and plaque.
"These four individuals represent the thousands of professional truck drivers who work every day across North America. Each year, this program offers an opportunity for recognition of those who put their lives on the line to help others," said Joseph Copeland, vp for commercial tire systems for The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company.
Each of the drivers risked their lives to save a stranger's – and did it without giving it a second thought. Last year's winner, Colorado truck driver Jorge Orozco Sanchez , saved two young girls after a crash in October 2008. Previous winners have pulled families from burning vehicles, ponds, and more.
Below is a brief description of the incidents (supplied by Goodyear) for which each driver for the 2009 award has been nominated.
George Lantzy, of Turtle Creek, Pa., a driver for Fubar Trucking. As Lantzy drove his tractor-trailer on Route 22 outside of Weirton, W.V., on March 12, 2009, he noticed a car along the highway's shoulder that was slowly drifting into traffic. As he drove closer, he saw an elderly woman slumped over the steering wheel, and realized something was drastically wrong. The car was headed toward a potential accident on the busy highway, so Lantzy made a snap decision to get involved. He maneuvered his rig alongside the car, then drove in front to allow the car to contact the rear of his trailer, thus creating an impromptu roadblock and easing the woman's car away from danger. Once he was able to force the out-of-control car to a standstill, police and paramedics arrived. The driver, who had suffered a heart attack, was transported to a nearby hospital where she made a full recovery following surgery.
Stephen Page, of Gloucester, Mass., a driver for Pit Bull Trucking. On July 14, 2009, Page was driving along U.S. Interstate 80 near Clearfield, Pa., when he spotted a fire in the woods alongside the roadway. He and another driver ran into the woods to find the burning wreckage of a double-unit rig that gone nearly 1,500 feet off the highway. Upon reaching the driver of the truck, he first believed the driver had not survived, but then realized he had lost consciousness. The cab was getting hotter by the second, and Page and the other driver struggled to remove the victim. Finally, with the help of two more truckers who had stopped, the injured driver was removed before the tractor and trailer were completely destroyed by fire. Page stayed with the injured driver, talking with him as he drifted in and out of consciousness. With severe burns, the man was eventually flown to a hospital. He has a long road to recovery, but is alive, thanks to the lifesaving efforts of Page and others.
Jesse Lee Seal, of Alma, Ark., a driver for PDP Unlimited. Early in the morning of Oct. 7, 2009, Seal was driving his 18-wheeler southbound on U.S. Interstate 530 near Little Rock, Ark., when another truck ahead of him abruptly swerved left, went across the median and the northbound lanes, eventually coming to rest on an opposite embankment. As this happened, the truck lost a fuel tank, which caught fire. Seal quickly stopped his truck, grabbed his fire extinguisher and ran across the lanes to provide assistance. As he passed by, he extinguished the burning fuel tank, then hurried to the disabled truck. Once there, he was able to open the hot door, put out the fire that was burning the driver's legs, and cut the seat belt to remove the injured driver.
Junichi Shimizu, of Gladstone, Ore., a driver for Chipman Relocations. As he drove westbound on Highway 12 near Fairfield, Calif., on Feb. 20, 2009, Shimizu witnessed a vehicle cross the centerline of the road and strike an automobile in front of his truck. The auto spun into the ditch, and the other vehicle then hit his tractor twice before bursting into flames. Upon coming to a stop, Shimizu called for assistance and then headed to the vehicle that was in flames. Unable to open the driver's side door due to the damage, he told the driver to protect his face and he punched out the glass in order to pull the driver free of the car. Gaining help from another motorist, he was able to free the driver's foot, which was wedged under the dashboard, then carry the driver to safety. Running to the other car, he quickly assessed that the driver was deceased, but there were two injured passengers inside. The passengers were removed, and Shimizu retrieved his fire extinguisher to keep the blaze under control until the local fire department arrived. The three rescued individuals had extensive injuries, but all survived.

Today we conclude Lide Plowman's letter in 1921 in which she remembers her father and all the activities of her younger days. The chart of the family tree is at the bottom of this post.
Father was a good manager. I cannot remember the time when we lacked any of the necessaries, and we had many luxuries. His motto on which we were raised was "Sell what you do not need to eat". So cream, butter and eggs were used as we needed them.
Father was very handy with tools. He and Sam Boughton made the loom which we all remember and will acknowledge was well made and substantial, also the warping bars and scarns (I cannot find this word in the dictionary), quill heads and I do not know about the big wheel and reel.
The house was later lathed and plastered by father, and we had many things our neighbors did without.
I remember when he took the last load of wheat to Detroit, driving horses, and received 50¢ a bushel. He brought home worsted checked cloth for mother and grandmother dresses alike. After that he could get money for it nearer home, so that the trips to Oakland and Detroit were visiting trips.
I went with them when I was eight and Sate [note: Sate was Sarah Elizabeth, JSW] was little, and I had a straw bonnet which made me rather vain. Uncle George's was our first stopping place and aunt Mary Brown lived three miles from there. We had a horse team and stayed in Lansing the first night at the Old's Hotel. From Lansing on we had plank (1853) roads and had to pay toll before we could pass the toll gates.
Father, aunts Eliza and Mary, had quite a good district school education. He was much interested in learning, and had quite a few books and read the news papers thoroughly. The New York Tribune was a constant visitor with us. He took an interest in all the things that helped to make good citizens. It was a great cross to him when the sight of one eye was injured by a wood chip.
After that I read the papers to him, which was the year Freemont was running for President, and was beaten by Buchanan (1857). I got my first taste of politics then, and like it still. He was always school director and took the Michigan Educational Journal. It was from this journal that he found the problem for me to solve, which was a study for me for weeks or months. I give credit to father for stimulating in me a desire for knowledge.
A hare to shun a gray hound ran full 40 leaps before the dog began. And for her life so nimbly did she strive, that to his three leaps she gave always five. But two of his are equal to her three. To catch the hare, how many leaps made he?
I finally studied until I proved he could never catch her. But father thought I must be mistaken. When I studied algebra I found they sometimes gave problems with negative answers. I am sure this one problem helped me greatly in my study of mathematics. [Note: I agree with Lide. The dog will never catch the hare. JSW]
Father had a great deal to do in running the business of the township. I do not remember when he was not Justice of the Peace, and the office of Supervisor was about equally divided between him and Moses Bartow. Mr. Bartow was a democrat with only a few republicans in the township. But father had the confidence of the people, and many staunch friends among the leaders. When neighbors had trouble and came to him to try the law on them, he would always talk to them and try to adjust it out of court, while the other justices enjoyed the lawsuits, indeed rather courted them.
This has been all of father, as most of you do not know of the long ago, but mother would fill as large a paper with all she had to do and faithfulness with which she fulfilled her duties to a large family.
She lived very near her children and entered into their joys and sorrows as a faithful mother should. What pleasure it was to have her come out and play "coop" and "Hide and seek" with us. She had great tact in making work seem play, such as running races at knitting and sewing, and seeing who could shell the most peas. We were eager to work with her then, and it made work play when we were working with her.
Our older brother have given her a tribute that any woman might crave, that she was a good a mother to them as an own mother could be. And we younger children did not know the difference between them and ourselves. No one ever had better brothers than they, and no mother had better children.

Morning Five: 08.22.13 EditionPosted by rtmsf on August 22nd, 2013
- When you have the facts, pound the facts. When you have the law, pound the law. When you have neither, pound the table. The NCAA would do well to remember this old legal axiom as it enters a dangerous stage of its lawsuit over image and likeness rights collectively known as the Ed O'Bannon case. On Monday of this week, the organization requested a 15-month continuance of the opening date of the trial — currently scheduled for June 9, 2014 — in a shamelessly transparent attempt to solidify its position by distancing itself from one of its most embarrassing gaffes in the past few years. Jay Bilas, anyone? EA sports and Collegiate Licensing Co., co-defendants in the case along with the NCAA, interestingly enough only requested a five-month continuance for the start of the trial. The federal judge overseeing this lawsuit, Claudia Wilken, had requested that the defendants come to a mutual agreement on trial date by Monday, but their inability to come to simple terms on that question may only serve to anger her as she weighs a number of important motions on class certification and other items that will seriously impact the case.
- And the hits just keep on coming. Mere days after a social media-fueled firestorm over the NCAA's initial decision (subsequently reversed) to deny former US Marine Steven Rhodes from walking on to play football this year for Middle Tennessee, another controversy has enveloped the organization over an eligibility question that strains the limits of common sense. As The Star-Ledger's Tom Liucci writes, Iowa State transfer Kerwin Okoro was recently denied a waiver to play for Rutgers in 2013-14 because his medical hardships — Okoro's father and brother each passed away last winter — are not current. The rule on receiving a medical hardship waiver states that the player must show "medical documentation of a debilitating injury or illness to a student-athlete's immediate family member that is debilitating and requires ongoing medical care," technically precluding Okoro from the benefit. But how about some big picture common sense here? While it's true that Okoro will not be required to care for his now-deceased relatives, there are other compelling reasons involving his family's overall healing process that should also be considered in such a decision.
- We've long known that Division I college basketball players are some of the best all-around athletes in the world, what with the core components of elite "athleticism" — speed, agility, strength, flexibility, stamina — all very well-represented in our sport. Several athletes who perhaps weren't skilled enough for professional basketball found their way into other athletic sports — we're thinking about NFL tight ends such as Tony Gonzalez or Antonio Gates here — but, as The Dagger's Jeff Eisenberg writes, a lesser-known version of football played in Australia is looking at college basketball as a nice pipeline to find its next generation of ruckmen. A what, you say? Well, a ruckman is someone in Australian Rules Football who is tasked with securing possession for his team after dead balls and scores through a modified jump ball situation. Who better than to fit that need for our friends Down Under than undersized big men with explosive hops and a knack for getting their hands on the ball. As the world becomes flatter in economics and sport, we imagine that we'll start to hear more stories like these as the rest of the planet discovers just how athletic our basketball players — even those outside the NBA — actually are.
- One of the most discouraging stories of last offseason has resurfaced in a big way with the news on Wednesday that former Xavier-turned-Maryland guard Dez Wells, he of the rape allegations so absurd that the local prosecutor publicly stated they were "fundamentally unfair," has decided to sue his old school for damage to his reputation and a good old-fashioned apology. In an environment where seemingly every semi-public figure claims that he will sue to protect his good name after getting blatantly caught telling bold-faced lies, it's encouraging to see a situation where the justice system will be used to mete out some actual justice. Xavier expelled Wells from its school last summer, citing a decision made by its Conduct Board (and upheld on appeal) that predated the related criminal grand jury investigation; as a result, Wells has since suffered mightily from the school's rush to judgment. That he's bringing this case while he's still playing NCAA basketball is rich with storyline possibilities — could he somehow face his legal adversary in a postseason match-up for the ages between the Terps and Musketeers? We can only hope…
- A lot of schedules have been releasing over the past couple of weeks, and the most notable in the last 24 hours were from a couple of conferences. First, the SEC released its conference-only schedule, featuring
a bunch of mediocre teams that nobody pays attention to until Februarya solid balance of Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday night games with the standard Saturday smorgasbord but lacking the Kentucky-Tennessee battle in Knoxville that has produced so many great contests over the years. A special thank you goes out to Texas A&M and Missouri for that omission. On the other side of the continent, the WCC also released its conference schedule, which means that the only two games of true importance in this league — Gonzaga vs. Saint Mary's, Acts I and II — should already be inked into your calendar (January 2 and March 1). Many more of these releases to come in the next few weeks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Marcus Brauchli, the executive editor of The Washington Post for the last four years, is stepping down at the end of the year and will be replaced by Marty Baron, editor of The Boston Globe.
Brauchli will become vice president of The Washington Post Co., working with Chairman Don Graham "to review and evaluate new media opportunities," the company said.
Marty Baron, 58, has been editor of the Globe since July 2001. In that time, the newspaper has won six Pulitzer prizes. Baron started his career as a reporter at the Miami Herald in 1976. He joined the Los Angeles Times in 1979 and became business editor in 1983. He went to The New York Times in 1996 and a year later became associate managing editor responsible for the nighttime news operations. He returned to the Herald to become executive editor in 2000.
He will start at the Post on Jan. 2.
"We are thrilled to have Marty Baron lead The Washington Post's newsroom, said Katharine Weymouth, the Post's publisher and a member of the Graham family that controls The Washington Post Co., in a statement. "He has a demonstrated record of producing the highest quality journalism, which matches the legacy and expectations of The Post."
Brauchli, 51, was hired by the Post in July 2008 after resigning as managing editor of The Wall Street Journal following its purchase by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. He said at the time that the new owners should have an editor of their choosing.
Brauchli's hiring was one of the first big moves by Weymouth, 46, who became publisher in February 2008.
Brauchli led the Post to four Pulitzer prizes. As the Post experienced declines in circulation and print advertising revenue, he also presided over a period of cost cutting, which included employee buyouts. The Post Co. sold its money-losing Newsweek magazine in 2010 for $1.
"Marcus has contributed immeasurably in the more than four years he has been at the helm of this newsroom," Weymouth said in a statement. "Under his leadership, we have become one newsroom publishing on multiple platforms, traffic has grown substantially and we are consistently recognized as among the most innovative mainstream news sites."
Brauchli's final day as executive editor will be Dec. 31.

I stand corrected.
In the last edition I reported that 85,000 acre feet had already been held hostage behind the Delta pumps to protect a minnow.
Cannon Michael, the water watchdog for the family-owned Bowles Farming Company, Los Banos, Calif., kindly pointed out in an e-mail that I missed the mark by a mile. It is more like 300,000 acre feet that have been precluded from moving through the Delta and into the state and federal water projects delivering water to Central and Southern California since last Dec. 12. This is because of a federal district court judge's ruling last fall protecting the Delta smelt.
The revised estimate came from Steve Chedester of the San Joaquin River Exchange Contractors Water Authority in Los Banos who said the inflow into the San Luis Reservoir is now at a trickle. The outflow is rapidly drawing down the reservoir three months before the peak irrigation season begins.
That ups the ante to representing 300,000 California households. If you figure a household is four people who use an acre foot of water (326,000 gallons) per year, then schools of minnows have basically taken the water supply equal to what is used by the cities of Anaheim, Santa Ana and Riverside for one year.
Of course radical environmentalists do not want to put it in those terms. They'd rather put it in terms of water used by farmers. It always amazes me when farmers are criticized for using water. What do people think farmers are using water for; brushing their teeth or washing pickups? It is used in their business to produce food.
Let's put 300,000 acre feet of water in true "farming" perspective — the production of food people like to eat. The 300,000 acre feet represent the water supply to irrigate 100,000 acres (assuming 3 acre feet of water per crop season). That is high for some crops listed below and low for others. However, allow me to use it for the following points.
Let's translate 100,000 acres of food for the people of Anaheim, Santa Ana and Riverside and the judge and the people who love minnows. If that lost water was used to produce 10,000 acres of romaine lettuce, we're talking roughly 168 million heads of lettuce; 10,000 acres of wheat would produce at least 60 million loaves of bread; and 10,000 acres of processing tomatoes would produce roughly 350,000 tons of tomatoes. I have no idea how many bottles of ketchup that represents. Probably enough to pour on all the McDonalds French fries sold in one year in Anaheim, Santa Ana and Riverside.
And that is only 30,000 of the 100,000 acres.
Okay, that may be a bit hyperbolic. However, the 37 or so million people who call California home, and politicians and judges who govern our state don't seem to grasp what the state's water crisis — compounded by flawed endangered species laws — is all about.
I love minnows. Without them there is no fish or fish bait. I am not advocating the demise of the defenseless Delta smelt. It is a critical part of the Delta's ecosystem.
However, throttling back the pumps that deliver water to 25 million Californians and 3 million acres of farmland is not the solution to the smelt's demise. Those pumps account for what scientists say is less than 5 percent of the smelt losses.
What about the other 95 percent?

by Brandon Smith, D&DH reader
Not until last season, when I strapped on a monitor, have I ever considered how hard my heart beats while hunting.
Although opinion varies, many doctors caution against exercising at a level greater than 85 percent of a person's maximum heart rate. This increases the risk of heart attack.
For men, maximum heart rate is calculated by subtracting age from 220. For me, the equation reads 220 – 21 = 199. Eighty-five percent of that is 169.
I found myself battling to keep my heart rate below 169 throughout deer hunting season. Just hiking trails in west Texas, I quickly exceeded my 85 percent maximum. I attained my season high of 201 while pulling a whitetail on a game cart that had two flat tires.
My experiences echoed the results of a study conducted by Michigan's Beaumont Hospital. Published in 2007 in the American Journal of Cardiology, the study fitted heart monitors on 25 middle-aged hunters, 17 of whom had been diagnosed with coronary artery disease.
During deer season, all but three exceeded the maximum rate they had achieved on a treadmill test. Dragging downed game raised heart rates to the most dangerous levels, but several men experienced jumps into the red zone simply from spotting or shooting at a deer.
According to study co-author Dr. Barry Franklin, the strain hunting puts on the heart is attributed to three factors: hunting's strenuous nature, the epinephrine (or "excitement") response upon seeing game and environmental stresses, including cold weather and altitude.
Franklin also notes that many hunters in the study exhibited life-threatening heart-rhythm irregularities (aka cardiac arrhythmia) that had not been apparent on EKG readouts during laboratory treadmill tests. This was a disturbing finding. Heart arrhythmia is the trigger for cardiac arrest.
So what can you do to keep your heart working during the hunting months?
First, get a stress test. Treadmills and EKG monitors can reveal arrhythmia and arterial blockages that increase risks for heart attack. If you are diagnosed with heart disease, your doctor may prescribe nitroglycerin tablets, which dilate blood vessels that may be constricted. A pacemaker that detects irregular heartbeat and shocks the heart back into rhythm may be an option for patients at high risk.
Always carry an uncoated aspirin tablet in a pocket. Chew and swallow it to thin your blood at the onset of chest pain.
Once you have the green light from your doctor, buy a heart rate monitor. Many models include alarms that can be set to your maximum safe rate.
Then embark upon a doctor-approved exercise program. Aerobic exercise that keeps your heart working between 65 and 85 percent of your calculated maximum (the fitter you are, the harder you can work your heart) increases the capacity of the muscle to pump the blood and oxygen needed for the rigors of hunting. It also reduces the chance of dangerous jumps in pulse rate. Exercise in the target zone for 20 minutes at least three times a week.
It's important to stay fit before heading out for a hunt. Take care of your heart and let it only race from excitement, not over-exertion.

Indians send 3B Chisenhall to minors
Indians send 3B Chisenhall to minors
May. 13, 2013
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Indians have optioned struggling starting third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall to Triple-A Columbus.
Chisenhall, who was given the everyday job in spring training, is batting .213 with three home runs and 11 RBIs. Chisenhall went 0 for 3 on Sunday with two strikeouts in a win at Detroit and is hitless in his last 11 at-bats.
The Indians had high hopes for the 24-year-old Chisenhall, who split time between Cleveland and Columbus last season. He batted .268 in 43 games for the Indians.
The team brought up left-hander David Huff before playing a traditional doubleheader Monday against the New York Yankees.
Mark Reynolds, who has played at first and designated hitter, started at third in the opener. The Indians can also use utility man Mike Aviles at third.

ROME (Reuters) - Italy's centre left voted on Sunday to choose the candidate who will be the leading contender to succeed Mario Monti as prime minister after an election in March and take charge of steering the country through a deep recession.
Opinion surveys show Democratic Party leader Pier Luigi Bersani is the frontrunner among five candidates, followed by Florence mayor Matteo Renzi, who has vowed to shake up Italy's political establishment if he is chosen to lead the alliance.
The vote will eliminate a major element of uncertainty in choosing a successor to Monti's technocrat government.
The centre-left alliance is well ahead in opinion polls for the parliamentary election and the winner of the primary vote is in pole position to take over Monti's efforts to control strained public finances and tackle a year-long recession.
Support for Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's deeply divided centre-right People of Freedom party (PDL) has crumbled to less than half than it recorded in the last election in 2008.
Berlusconi said on Saturday he was again thinking about running, deepening the PDL chaos.
"It's time for a return to serious politics, and as a consequence we can start to resolve the economy," said 57-year-old Vincenzo Donna Maria, after he cast his vote for lower house deputy Bruno Tabacci, one of the other candidates, at a busy outdoor polling station in northern Rome.
A woman who voted for Bersani, who did not wish to be named, said she hoped for "a better country, led by honest people".
Both Bersani and Renzi reject the idea, encouraged by international markets, that Monti should return after the vote to continue his economic policies that have so far included unpopular spending cuts, tax rises and labor reform.
Protests on Saturday by tens of thousands of students and workers from across the political spectrum highlighted the levels of discontent among Italians grappling with the slump and rising unemployment in the euro zone's third biggest economy.
While Renzi, 37, is much more popular across the general population than career politician Bersani, 61, he is far weaker among party supporters who will decide the primary.
Organizers expect up to 4 million party and non-party voters to take part in the poll that is open to anyone over 18 who is Italian or resident in Italy regularly, but it is likely that members will make up the biggest proportion of those at the ballot box.
However, Bersani may still fail to secure the 50 percent he needs for a first-round victory, which will mean a second round run-off will be held on December 2. At that point he is likely to pick up the votes of third-placed Nichi Vendola, the openly gay governor of the southern Puglia region.
"I am expecting a run-off because there are a lot of us," said Bersani, talking to reporters at a voting station on Saturday. "All five of us are going to try to lend a hand to help this country emerge from its suffering."
An upbeat Renzi told reporters before joining in a half-marathon in Florence: "If I lose it will have been a great people's experience, but I'm going to win."
The centre right is due to hold its own primaries on December 16, but PDL secretary Angelino Alfano said on Saturday that would no longer make sense if Berlusconi chose to stand.
Further complicating the national political picture is the dramatic rise of the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement, which is now second in opinion polls, and that around half of Italians say they are either undecided or will abstain.
It is also still unclear what electoral system will be used for the national vote, expected on March 10-11, as politicians have been arguing over how to reform an unpopular electoral law that allows party leaders to hand-pick members of parliament.
Voting on Sunday was due to end at 8 p.m. (1900 GMT), with results due around midnight (2300 GMT).

Tire Noise - Bridgestone Potenza??
Anyone been having loud road noise with the Bridgestone Potenzas?
My 2006 650i has the Sport Package, 2200 miles, and I have recently (in the last 200-300 miles) started to notice what sounds similar to "wind" noise, starting at about 25-30mph and progressively getting louder as the speed increases. It certainly could be the outside wind blowing around the car, but I haven't really noticed it much in the past and think it's coming from the tires.
I took the car to the Dealer and the tires were all out of balance - came that way off the truck. "The Dealers don't check balance prior to delivering the vehicle, only tire pressure", so I was told. Re-balanced, no charge of course, but the noise persists.
Anyone with a similar problem? Thanks.

Re: Tire Noise - Bridgestone Potenza??
Tire Pressure - ha that's a laugh. Although their checklist SAYS to check it more BWWs are delivered at close to 50 psi than not. On the other hand my balance has been perfect since 34000 miles ago and now my 2nd set of Bridgestones. No abnormal noise in that time, even when at 33,000 miles when I replaced 1st set. However, othres may have different experience.

Re: Tire Noise - Bridgestone Potenza??
COBRADAV - Thanks for your response.
Do you experience any unusual wind noise that sounds like it's coming from the left front side of the vehicle, at speed?
All of my door and window seals appear to be sealing properly and I see nothing rubbing upon inspection of the wheel well area, calipers, rotor, etc. Any relevant tech bulletins that you've come across?
And... I was thinking of lowering the car 1" or so. Might as well wait until I can get a definitive answer on the noise.

Re: Tire Noise - Bridgestone Potenza??
You will hear the occasional complaint about wind noise or tire noise, but nothing so common or founded in some root cause to warrant a Tech Bulletin. And you will see claims of SIGNIFICANT reduction in road noise by some who have switched to say PS2s. MIne are so quiet I find that hard to believe, but......What I have tried to test for tire noise is start at a stop on a lonely but good type of hiway location and increase speed listening for tell tale signs of tire noise. Also try on different road surfaces. Some tires are more neutral on all surfaces like black top or concrete (I think the Bridgestone are) than others. However, by not having any other brand or type (RFT) on my car I cannot positively state you could not do better
Under certain conditions I do hear some wind noise but am not exactly sure what those conditions are. Obviously high winds and or gusting winds, but usually associated with specific weather conditions and wind direction, not an everyday thing. What with the number of hurricanes or tropical storms I've been through with this car I am pretty impressed:)

Re: Tire Noise - Bridgestone Potenza??
Try setting tire pressure to mfg. spec's that are on the driver's doorjamb. A digital guage is essential. My dealer set pressures much lower on delivery and claimed that the mfg. specs were wrong. I disagree and find with the Bridgestone Potenza re050 tires set at the correct f/r pressures that the car not only handles much better, but is not noisey at highway sppeds. Rnflat tire sidewalls are much stiffer than normal tires, so bumps are more noticable than with regular sidewalls. The bit about your wheels being out of balance from the factory is a little hard to accept at face value. Mine 650i conv, sport option has 6000 miles and the wheels stay in contact evenly with the road with no vibration or bounce, which given the width and stiffness of the tires is impressive.
Re: Tire Noise - Bridgestone Potenza??
Thanks to both of you for your suggestions.
The tire pressure has been spot on (30/33) both before and after the re-balancing and in case I failed to mention it, the tires are RFTs.
The BMW Factory rep was at the Dealer when the re-balancing was being done and agreed that BMW will pay for it, although he stated that this is normally a Dealer/customer charge. Sounded like BS to me, especially for a new $80,000.00 car with 2200 miles on it. Actually, the tires never felt like they were out of balance, but after only 2,200 miles, perhaps the cupping or abnormal wear wouldn't have been present.
The noise is still present from 25 mph on and is rather annoying. Sounds like wind, but I'm sure it's coming from the tires.
I've driven on highway sections of concrete, asphalt, with the windows down/up, even moved the tranny into Neutral to check if the noise was coming from the Steptronic , but the noise was still there. While driving through a tunnel with no other vehicles, I rolled the windows down and still heard the noise reflecting off of the tunnel sides.
I had a similar problem several years ago with Bridgestone S-03s on a Porsche that I owned and Bridgestone acknowledged the problem (a "bad batch") and replaced them. Perhaps the present problem stems from a "bad batch". Car was delivered on 7/25/06.
Thanks. All further suggestions or info will be appreciated.

The roar of Bridgestane Potenza
Never will I trust Bridgestone again. Tires roar, roar, roar. Fast, slow it doesn't matter. It's amazing. They roar at 5 miles an hour. They sound like the old 60's snow tires. Potenza never again. I bought new. now 14,000 miles. Great injustice. I am going to registar a complain with the company rep. at my dealership.Reply With Quote 220.127.116.11
Yes, the tires have worn in a really strange undulating pattern. My alignment is not off, car has never been on an accident, the mechanic is dumbfounded as to how they wore down in a cosine wave pattern there will be a worn piece and an unworn piece alternating. It's really strange.
