I have to admit that the day after any given holiday for shopping is my favorite day of year for savings.
I have to admit that the day after any given holiday for shopping is my favorite day of year for savings. I find it is a great time to get great savings on items that can be used throughout the year. I remind Leavenworth residents to head out to area stores on Monday to make sure they do not miss out on great savings.
One of my favorite things to purchase during the after-Easter sales is Easter egg dying kits for next year. I usually can find these items to be 50 percent off or more and I stick them in a closet and save them for next year. I also find that the plastic Easter baskets that go on sale for under $1 are great for sand buckets and can be used as containers to hold things.
Another thing I like to stock up on during after- holiday sales are toy trinkets and candy. I typically search for items that are spring in color. I find these toy trinkets to be perfect goody bags to be used at my children's birthday parties and also serve as great prizes when teaching small children.
Several stores also place their Easter paper products on sale. You can find paper products that are spring in coloring, but do not have a bunny or an egg on the product. These items are great for birthday parties, baby showers and other social functions throughout the year for a fraction of the cost.
Finally, I like to pick up cooking supplies. Not only do I enjoy picking up the spring cake mixes, spring colored springs, but I also love purchasing cupcake holders during the after- holiday sales. I find that I can purchase 75 cupcake holders for under a dollar and these are great to use throughout the year when making muffins and cupcakes for various events.
Make sure you set your alarms for Monday and you head out to the stores for the great after- Easter sales. If you plan ahead you can find savings on items that can be used throughout the year.

Feeding Less
Operators of cattle feedlots probably used less of the grain as the domestic herd on March 1 dropped 7% from a year earlier, more than the 6.4% expected by analysts, Dennis DeLaughter, an analyst at Vantage RM in Houston, said by telephone.
The worst drought since the 1930s cut corn production by 13% and left inventories on Dec. 1 at 8.03 billion bushels, the lowest for that date since 2003, according to the USDA. Use of the grain in livestock feed for the year that began Sept. 1 is forecast to rise to 4.55 billion bushels from 4.548 billion a year earlier, even after the price gained 17% in the 12 months through yesterday.
The production decline may have been overstated, DeLaughter said. The USDA raised its Dec. 1 corn stockpiles estimate by 2.26 million bushels, indicating more was in storage at the beginning of that month than previously thought.
"That tells us there was a very large amount of corn that was uncounted during the fall quarter," Terry Reilly, a senior commodity analyst at Chicago-based Futures International LLC, said by e-mail. "That lessens our confidence in USDA's fall survey."
China Sales
Soybean stockpiles on March 1 totaled 999 million bushels, also the lowest since 2004 and down 27% from 1.374 billion a year earlier, the USDA said. Analysts forecast inventories at 948 million bushels.
Last year's drought and increased sales to China eroded inventories in the U.S., which until this year was the world's biggest shipper of the oilseed. Exports from Sept. 1 through March 14 totaled 31.9 million metric tons, up 24% from the same period a year earlier, USDA data show.
Soybean planting will drop 0.1% to 77.126 million acres, the USDA said, based on its annual survey of farmers. Analysts forecast an increase to a record 78.351 million. Seeding may decline because growers expect prices to drop as output rises in South America. Brazil's crop is forecast by the USDA at a record 83.5 million tons and exports at 38.4 million, making it the world's largest shipper.

Tool Test: Get the Advantages of Hide Glue Without the Glue Pot
By Christopher Schwarz

From the August 2005 issue #149

Traditional hide glue has many advantages for woodworking. It's reversible – a little heat and water allow you to disassemble a joint. And the glue can be tweaked (by adding urea) to have a longer open time.
But most hide glues require that you mix them yourself, keep them heated in a glue pot (carefully watching the temperature and for mold growth) and they have an odor that puts off some people.
In response, furniture maker and conservator W. Patrick Edwards developed Old Brown Glue, which has all the advantages of traditional hide glues and none of the disadvantages. Old Brown Glue comes premixed, is liquid at room temperature and has almost no odor (it's as mild smelling as your yellow glue, really). And after using a couple bottles, I am really sold on this glue as an excellent adhesive for assembling furniture and chairs.

Swifty sees dance as art
THERE'S a lot of talk about fly-in, fly-outs across Central Queensland. But you won't see "Swifty" in a fluorescent vest on a Friday night.
In fact, if you head out on the weekend, you're probably likely to see this 26-year-old Queenslander wearing not much at all.
But just because she makes her money as a stripper, be careful about calling Swifty any nasty names.
"I have a tattoo down my side that says 'truth and freedom - the words of others shall not shackle me'," she says.
"And I take that pretty seriously.
"I don't tolerate bad behaviour and it frustrates me when guys come in and think it's a brothel.
"It's not. So I tell them to go find a number in a newspaper."
Swifty considers herself an artist. She's a dancer. An illusionist. A photographer.
She picked up a 35mm camera when she was five years old and spends her spare cash on lenses and flashes.
"I chase light like some people chase waves," she says.
"Some people might think I'm a bit of a joke.
"But most of my friends are impressed with my level of professionalism."
When she's not dancing or taking photos, Swifty is mother to Darian, 6, and Gypsy, 3.
"If they ever decided to do this themselves I would be okay with it as long as they understood what they were getting themselves in for and treated themselves with respect.
"You need to have a clear set of morals and boundaries and never sell yourself short."
Swifty worked as a stripper before she became pregnant with Darian, when she was in her second year of studying as an architectural draftsperson and again after she and her partner separated.
"I looked for a job every day for a month and I couldn't even get a job at Hungry Jack's," she says. "So then I thought 'I like to party, I like to dance, I like people, let's take it a step further."
She contacted an agency, spent one nerve-racking night at her first strip club and has been mastering the art of dancing in her heels ever since.
"I like to dance, I love the stage and it gives me a sense of freedom and confidence."
"The human body is a beautiful thing and should be celebrated."

FDA Approve U.S. Pediatric Dose for Raltegravir
January/February 2012
On 21 December 2011, the FDA approved dosing recommendations for raltegravir (Isentress) for paediatric patients ages 2 to 18 years and weighing at least 10 kg.
In addition a 100 mg scored chewable tablet and 25 mg chewable tablet was approved for use in paediatric patients.
Safety, efficacy and formulation data were from the IMPAACT P1066 Phase I/II study in 126 treatment experienced children (age 2 to 18 years) who received either the 400 mg film-coated tablet formulation (6 to 18 years of age) or the chewable tablet formulation (2 to less than 12 years of age). Raltegravir was administered with an optimised background regimen.
The Dosage and Administration section includes the following dosing recommendations and dosing recommendations for pediatrics. Main changes to the product label are also included below.
General Dosing Recommendation
Paediatric Dosing
Dosing is recommended based on age and weight:
Warnings and Precautions
Raltegravir chewable tablets contain phenylalanine, a component of aspartame. Each 25 mg raltegravir chewable tablet contains approximately 0.05 mg phenylalanine. Each 100 mg raltegravir chewable tablet contains approximately 0.10 mg phenylalanine. Phenylalanine can be harmful to patients with phenylketonuria.
Adverse Reactions
In the IMPAACT P1066, frequency, type and severity of drug related adverse reactions through week 24 were comparable to those observed in adults.
One patient experienced drug related clinical adverse reactions of Grade 3 psychomotor hyperactivity, abnormal behavior and insomnia; one patient experienced a Grade 2 serious drug related allergic rash.
One patient experienced drug related laboratory abnormalities, Grade 4 AST and Grade 3 ALT, which were considered serious.
The following information was added to Section 12.3 Pharmacokinetics:
Clinical Studies
The median age of the 96 study participants in IMPAACT P106 receiving the recommended raltegravir dose was 13 (range 2 to 18) years, 51% female, 34% Caucasian, and 59% Black. At baseline, mean plasma HIV-1 RNA was 4.3 log10 copies/mL, median CD4 cell count was 481 cells/mm3 (range: 0-2361) and median CD4% was 23.3% (range: 0-44). Overall, 8% had baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA >100,000 copies/mL and 59% had a CDC HIV clinical classification of category B or C. Most subjects had previously used at least one NNRTI (78%) or one PI (83%).
Ninety-three (97%) subjects completed 24 weeks of treatment (3 discontinued due to non-compliance). At Week 24, 54% achieved HIV RNA <50 copies/mL; 72% achieved HIV RNA <400 copies/mL or =1 log10 HIV RNA drop from baseline. The mean CD4 count (percent) increase from baseline to Week 24 was 119 cells/mm3 (3.8%).

Embedded Common Lisp
It's possible to "apt-get install ecl" on Debian on FreeRunner, but as of 23.11.2009 prepackaged ecl fails with "Absurd stack bottom value". This error is due to libgc, which tries to obtain stack bottom from /proc/self/stat and fails. The workaround is to build ecl from source, configuring it with "--enable-boehm=included" and building garbage collector with USE_LIBC_PRIVATES defined. Worked for me with ecl 9.10.2. In QtMoko v22, prepackaged ecl "0.9j (CVS 2008-02-16 11:33)" works, but doesn't understand Unicode.

MADRID (AP) — A bus swerved off the road and crashed in central Spain on Monday, killing nine people and injuring 21 others. Officials said the driver was arrested on a charge of reckless driving.
The accident occurred close to the town of Tornadizos, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) northwest of Madrid, when the local bus went off the road as it was coming down a mountain pass.
Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz said the bus driver passed a drug and alcohol test, and the bus was fit for the road. However, the driver was arrested and was due to appear before a judge later in the day, accused of reckless driving resulting in death, Diaz said.
He said officials were trying to work out the bus's speed at the time of the crash. No problems were detected with the road surface, he said.
Authorities did not identify the dead and injured, who were all passengers.

Treasury's $29 billion seven-year note auction, the final government coupon sale of 2013, drew the highest yield in more than two years as the Federal Reserve plans to wrap up its bond-buying by the end of next year.
The notes drew a yield of 2.385%, the most since June 2011, exceeding a forecast of 2.374% in a Bloomberg News survey of seven of the Fed's 21 primary dealers who are required to bid at the auctions. The bid-to-cover ratio, which gauges demand by comparing total bids with the amount of securities offered, was 2.45, trailing the average of 2.57 for the previous 10 sales.
The auction completed four note sales this week totaling $112 billion after the Fed said yesterday it will reduce monthly asset buying to $75 billion in January, from $85 billion this month.
"After the Fed's announcement, the general bias for yields is higher," said Adrian Miller, director of fixed-income strategies at GMP Securities LLC in New York. "Without Fed buying in the long end, there is some aversion to holding debt there. The question also remains, can the Fed execute an unwind of tapering without disrupting the market? And the jury is still out on that."
Indirect bidders at the seven-year auction, a class of investors that includes foreign central banks, purchased 41.7% of the notes, versus an average of 40.3% at the past 10 sales.
Auction Detail
Direct bidders, non-primary-dealer investors that place their bids directly with the Treasury, bought 17.1%, compared with the 19.1% average at the past 10 auctions.
The central bank left unchanged yesterday its statement that it will probably hold its target interest rate near zero "at least as long as" unemployment exceeds 6.5%, so long as the outlook for inflation is no higher than 2.5%.
"The cat is out of the bag with the Fed news, and that has left the greater risk of higher yields on the long end, even as the short end is supported," said David Ader, head of U.S. government-bond strategy at CRT Capital Group LLC in Stamford, Connecticut. "The tapering process is underway, and if data continue to get better, the acceleration in tapering will continue, which argues for a more bearish outlook."
Policy makers have maintained the benchmark rate, the target for overnight loans between banks, at zero to 0.25% since 2008 to support the economy. A majority of FOMC participants -- 12 out of 17 -- in economic projections released today saw the first increase in the rate in 2015.

By Dr. Anthony BorgeseAssociate ProfessorCity University of New York-Kingsborough Community College, Brooklyn, NY
At Kingsborough Community College,part of the City University of New York, entrepreneurship professors allow students to learn the tools of the entrepreneur through a multi-faceted approach. First, students create their own businesses through a variety of methods. Some professors utilize the $10 business. This is a method wherein students are given $10 to create their own micro-businesses. These student businesses tend to become resellers of existing products such as cakes or water. Other professors require students to start their own E-Bay based businesses. These businesses are usually bartering type businesses, or students finding things in their parents' garages and attics and reselling them online. While both of those methods are great ways to teach entrepreneurial skills, Kingsborough transformed business education by creating its own program called Virtual Enterprise.
What is Virtual Enterprise?
Virtual Enterprise is a unique, experiential-learning methodology wherein students create and operate their own virtual businesses in a global economy of over 4,000 firms in 40 countries. Pierce and Jones, (1998) found that students engaged in contextual learning are more motivated, use self-directed methods aimed at acquiring in-depth understanding and have superior long-term recall compared to students involved in more traditional teacher-led activities. This is one of the foundations for Virtual Enterprise.
With VE students create a business concept and then implement the plan within the confines of the IVE Global Marketplace. Once students choose the type of business they wish to operate, they create a business plan, estimate start-up costs, and make an oral presentation to investors from the local business community for virtual start-up capital.
After the venture capital presentation is made, CUNY's Institute for Virtual Enterprise provides virtual seed money to the VE firm along with a corporate bank account. VE students use that seed money to pay bills, make inventory purchases and start to operate their virtual businesses. They learn the financial aspects of running a business by doing it, as opposed to just learning the theories behind financial management and regurgitating them on a written exam.
What makes VE more effective than other experiential learning methods is its global marketplace and the financial aspects of its MarketMaker component. (www.ivefinancial.com) The MarketMaker is the virtual economy behind VE methodology; its educational, electronic, financial teaching tools make VE courses truly unique. It consists of a virtual bank, a virtual stock market, virtual credit cards and a virtual ecommerce shopping mall. The virtual bank simulates a real banking environment. Students gain valuable cash flow management skills and learn about lines of credit, payroll and other banking aspects of running a business.
The virtual credit card allows students to learn the skills of using credit properly. Virtual business credit cards are offered to virtual enterprise firms to make purchases and pay bills. Finally, the IVE Shopping Mall allows students to trade their virtual products in a global electronic marketplace. After receiving the initial seed money to start a new VE firm, students can upload their products to the IVE Shopping Mall. The IVE Shopping Mall is a global electronic commerce marketplace for all virtual enterprise students and firms worldwide. VE is an international program with students participating around the world. This provides another learning moment, as students have to learn how to deal with different languages and cultures as part of international trading within the VE marketplace.
Besides learning the financial aspects of running a business, students also learn the sales, budgeting, negotiation, human resources, and technology skills of running a business. For example, marketing plans have to be created and implemented. This includes creating advertising, estimating sales goals, as well as uploading products to the IVE Shopping Mall to sell or trade products. VE students learn a variety of communication skills by negotiating with suppliers or becoming human resources employees and working as the intermediaries between employees and management within the VE firm.
Funding and Awards
The earliest funding of VE methodology, outside of CUNY, came from corporate sponsorships. Corporations that mirrored the VE firms started by VE students were more than happy to provide monetary and in-kind funding to IVE. In addition, Kauffman and Coleman funding was obtained after various presentations at USASBE and National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE) conferences. All of this funding was a windfall for IVE, but the major funding was yet to come.
The first major funding for Virtual Enterprise based methodology dissemination was called: Project Welcome. (http://www.kbcc.cuny.edu/announcement/project_welcome.html ) A $1.6 million grant was was awarded under the President's Community Based Job Training Grants, as implemented by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration. Project Welcome's purpose was to train students in Hospitality and Food Service Operations. The curriculum employed was a variety of Virtual Enterprise courses. Students learned hospitality and food service operations through VE courses. The program lasted three years and remains in existence, despite the original funding being depleted.
After this promising start, VE methodology continued to receive good-sized grants. A $139,000 grant was awarded by the New York State Department of Labor to train dislocated youth in "green" technology and urban agriculture. This program was also endorsed by the National Conference of Workforce Educators as the basis for national community college groups to start a "best practices in green" education curriculum. Again, VE methodology was the basis for the educational component of this program.
Finally, a $750,000 NSF grant in STEM education was awarded to IVE to infuse business and entrepreneurship into STEM disciplines. (http://www.ive.cuny.edu/viewarticle.php?sid=147 ) IVE had bought its own "entrepreneurship across the curriculum" initiative a number of years previous, so having been awarded a grant to bring entrepreneurship skill sets to non-business students was a natural evolution for IVE. Virtual Enterprise courses were offered in a variety of academic disciplines, but were most prevalent in career programs where VE courses became a major part of teaching the business side of the program.
All of these funding opportunities allowed for the proliferation of Virtual Enterprise methodology into a variety of colleges and universities academic, career and business programs. It also led to a variety of "contract" education programs for IVE. The latest "contract" education contract was for $600,000 to train hospitality and food service workers in Brooklyn's Coney Island. Like Project Welcome, students in this program will learn business skills by taking Virtual Enterprise courses and then apply those skills by working in the newly revitalized Coney Island.
Professional conferences, like the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship Annual Conference (USASBE), allowed IVE administrators to present their findings and "get the word out" about this transformative way of teaching business. No greater accolade for Virtual Enterprise could have been received other than USASBE's Innovative Entrepreneurship Course Award at USASBE's 2008 Annual Conference. (http://usasbe.org/about/awards/education.asp#course ) Virtual Enterprise methodology received the award and was finally recognized as being truly innovative by administrative bodies outside of CUNY and grant funding agencies.
Student Cohorts Served
Since its inception, Virtual Enterprise courses have been introduced to a variety of student cohorts. For example, VE is offered to students in the "My Turn" Program at Kingsborough. This program allows students over the age of 55 to take courses, free of charge, on a space available basis. My Turn students love the program because VE courses allow them to socialize as well as learn business skills they previously did not have. A small Coleman grant supported this endeavor, and created many senior-aged entrepreneurs. Most of these students wound up creating their own E-Bay based businesses because the VE courses gave them the confidence to believe they could succeed.
The Virtual Enterprise program has also been administered in over 40 countries, and the amount of international collaboration is growing. Each year, the Institute for Virtual Enterprise holds a Virtual International Trade Show. At the trade show, VE firms make real sales pitches via teleconference. Students from around the world make their sales pitches; then time is given for the students to buy and sell their products. (At the last iteration of this conference VE firms from Australia, Ghana, Belgium and Austria participated. (http://ive.cuny.edu/viewarticle.php?sid=154 ) Obviously, this is not an easy feat to accomplish due to time zone differences and language barriers. However, the videoconferences build student presentation skills, and communication skills in general, as they have to learn how to overcome those barriers to sell their products.
Educators who are interested in the methodology can go online at: http://www.ive.cuny.edu to view some of the activities and initiatives associated with Virtual Enterprise. A teaching tool kit is available for all professors that utilize Virtual Enterprise methodology. Instructors collaborate with a VE staff member to facilitate access to the various tools such as The MarketMaker financial software, the online shopping mall, and the banking program. VE instructors then allow their students to research the VE marketplace and create their own virtual businesses.
For anything to be transformative, by definition, it must change something dramatically. The old way of teaching business courses is a recipe for failure for our students. There is a 1996 quote from D.H. Hammond et al that states: "Many professors still require students to memorize their course materials and then complete closed-book examinations. We could find no record of a business meeting in which the CEO said, 'Please put all your books and notes under the table and take out a clean piece of paper; we are going to make a business decision.'"
This quote remains the inspiration for Institute for Virtual Enterprise administrators to bring VE methodology worldwide. Business should not be a discipline that requires students to memorize and regurgitate facts and theories. Business is learned by doing. This is true just as much for failing businesses as well as successful businesses. Sometimes, VE students learn more through what they did wrong as they do from what they did right.
The Institute for Virtual Enterprise will continue to profess the benefits of Virtual Enterprise methodology. IVE's successes are clear that VE methodology works. From funding, to awards, to faculty development, to the creation of well-prepared business students, Virtual Enterprise is truly a transformative teaching methodology.

Puget Sound Energy is the Pacific Northwest's largest utility producer of renewable energy. We own and operate three large wind farms in Washington state: the Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility in Kittitas County; the Hopkins Ridge Wind Facility in Columbia County; and our third and largest wind operation, the Lower Snake River Wind Facility, in Garfield County.
Our three current wind facilities produce up to 773 megawatts of electricity, enough to meet the power demands of nearly 200,000 homes, making us the third-largest utility generator of wind power in the U.S.
The three large wind farms we built and operate generate enough power, on average, to serve nearly a quarter-million homes. In some cases, PSE sells the excess green-energy attributes generated by our wind facilities to other entities across the nation. The revenue from these sales helps to reduce our customers' power costs and allows other utilities to take advantage of the benefits of renewable energy.

Whats Changed ** Number 2 Student Protests **
Over the last 30 or so years we have seen how political protests often started by students for a cause that is just and correct has changed society
These range from the protests in South Africa against apartheid segregation that combined with political support from around the world with sanctions against South Africa to force change
To the latest where protests started in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya as part of the "Arab Spring" against dictator regimes drew support from the ordinary working man and woman plus political, media and popular support from around the world leading to the overthrow of the corrupt regimes.
Some are still going on in
Syria is one example and currently those in power have used force using the Police, Army and who ever else to squash the protests.
Israel is a second example where hundreds of thousands have taken to the streets to protest Social Inequality, this is still ongoing
Some have failed a number of times for example in Burma where each time the protests have been squashed
We send our kids off to University to broaden their horizons, provide them with the knowledge to make informed decisions and hopefully and most important the higher education needed to find decent payed careers which will allow them to pay back high levels of student loans required to finish their degrees.
Whats Changed
Occupy Wall Street / We are the 99% protests
For the first time since The Vietnam War students in the United States took to the streets in large numbers during the Occupy Wall Street and the We are the 99% protests, in general from everything I have seen and read they have protested peacefully.
Their gripes ranged from large Student loans with poor job prospects to Wall Street Bailouts to the current inequality in our society between the 1% and the other 99% . What is interesting is the number of ordinary working men and women that were beginning to show support for the protests. It is scary in many ways that as soon as larger numbers of the General Populace were seen to be showing support the protests have been squashed using the Police.
Unlike media support for the Arab Spring Uprisings our media has done everything to discredit them
I did not see the media change the name of the Libya Arab Spring Uprising to LAS for example but the media has changed the name of these protests to OWS ( Occupy Wall Street ) .
It is also interesting that there is little media coverage in the United States of the social justice protests in Israel which included hundreds of thousands of protesters but wide coverage of Arab Spring protests.
The "Israeli Social Justice Protests" are essentially the same as the "We are the 99% protests" and "The Arab Spring Protests" protesting about the inequality of wealth distribution between the haves and the have nots.
The big question on my mind is now that force and the law has been used to squash these protests in the United States is will they disappear as those in power are hoping or will they re-appear in a more violent form due to frustration. My personal hope is that frustration does not lead to a more violent style of demonstration as they will lose the increasing support of the general populace.
I feel for the students. it must be frustrating to do "the right thing" go off to college to enhance your career prospects and while studying build up student loans ranging from $10,000 to $75,000 only to find no decent paying jobs when you have finished and obtained your degree. College education fees ( and the loans required ) have increased exponentially over the last few years as state and Federal Funding has decreased in real terms. Colleges and Universities have also increased fees significantly more than inflation. Those that talk about kids working their way through college have little idea of the challenges facing these kids.
One further comment over the last 30 years the parents of these kids have less disposable income available so are less able to help.
A Question for the readers
Should the students be allowed to protest peacefully against what they feel are injustices in our society ?

In 1968, I saw the students protest in Grosvenor Square, London, against the vietnam war. I watched as they protested in Prague against the communist intention to take over Czechoslovakia, when Dubchek started reforms.
I have watched the students protest aginst all manner of things.
if I may say this, the Establishment fears the youth of the next generation, mainly as they seek to change what is seen as inequality. I have to agree with the students. yes the powers that be will try and stop the protests, and they will ramp up the action. But in the end, all that happens is frustration, resentment, and a situation where tension begins to rip at the heart of a society.
For myself? I envy the students the freedom to protest, some how we lose that energy, as we get older. we become more "comfortable", less prone to upset the apple cart. But, when I see the young ones start to raise questions, I begin to feel that I too should ask questions of our government.

They should be able to protest. What we all should protest is college football coaches making $50,000/week as the MU coach does.

Everyone should be able to peacefully protest what they believe are social injustices. However...here in Portland, the "occupy movement" has degenerated into an ever-increasing number of homeless people, druggies, social misfits and society drop-outs who have nothing else better to do than camp out and shout power to the people! It's become pathetic. They have destroyed several beautiful city parks, are costing the taxpayers thousands of dollars in repair costs, police overtime dollars, disrupting traffic and mass transit for those 99% who are trying to get to work and actually support their families. They're hurting the very segment of the population that they're claiming they want to help. It's becoming hypocrasy. It's quickly becoming the 98%, or the working people who support themselves, their families and our society, the 1% who are the large corporate greedy, obscenely rich, and the 1% who are unemployed, "sponges" on the society who claim they want nothing to do with society, but prove otherwise by taking everything that the rest of us working stiffs will hand out free of charge to them. I don't know what it's like in the rest of the country, but that's what it's become here in Portland. Land of the weird. And, the sad part is that on a base level, I agree with everything they started out representing. The world will only change when each person, individually decides to change themselves. That's the way to change the world. I don't have much hope that anything's going to improve.

Thanks all for the comments, I must admit I have not been to any of the protests so can not make comments on specific protests, I have no doubt that trouble makers have joined protests to give legitimacy to their own actions, it is up to the organizers of these protests to ensure they do not get hijacked by yobs and thugs who are just out for trouble,
I also think it is a shame when those in power use the police to break up genuine protests by those who believe the wealth of the country has moved from all to a small powerful minority who own or control the media, police and have undue political influence.

Natasha Richardson, the luminous British actress from one of the world's great acting families, whose performances ranged from the high-brow drama "The Handmaid's Tale" to the lightweight comedy "The Parent Trap" and the Tony-winning Broadway production of "Cabaret," died Wednesday. She was 45.
The wife of "Schindler's List" actor Liam Neeson and daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave and the late film director Tony Richardson died at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. The cause of death was not announced, but she had been hospitalized after suffering a devastating brain injury while skiing Monday.
"Liam Neeson, his sons and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha," said a statement released by publicist Alan Nierob. "They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."
Richardson was injured at Mont Tremblant, a luxury resort in Canada. The actress was taking a lesson on a beginner's run near the bottom of the ski area and was not wearing a helmet when she had what first appeared to be a minor accident.
She initially reported that she was well, but soon started to complain of a headache. Hours after the fall, the star of a number of acclaimed stage plays -- including "Anna Christie," "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Closer" -- slipped into unconsciousness, and she was transported Tuesday from a Montreal hospital back to New York, where she was surrounded by family and friends.
The actress' most recent film credits came in last year's "Wild Child" opposite Emma Roberts and 2007's "Evening" with Meryl Streep, Claire Danes and Redgrave. The "Evening" part was one of a number of recent roles Richardson had had in productions with her closest relatives. On television, she appeared as a guest judge on the just-concluded season of the cooking show "Top Chef."
Richardson was born in London on May 11, 1963. In addition to Redgrave, other actors in her family include sister Joely Richardson, a star of the television series "Nip/Tuck," and aunt Lynn Redgrave, whose film credits include "Georgy Girl" and "Gods and Monsters." Richardson's grandfather was legendary Shakespearean actor Michael Redgrave.
Her father was an acclaimed writer, director and producer who won the directing and best picture Oscar for 1963's "Tom Jones." Tony Richardson, who died in 1991 at age 63, also directed "Look Back in Anger" and "A Taste of Honey."
The actress' 72-year-old mother, who won the supporting actress Academy Award for 1977's "Julia," still acts in theater and film.
Just before the skiing accident, Richardson was considering a Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim's "A Little Night Music" with her mother, after a highly praised one-night January staging at New York's Studio 54.
Although Richardson may have come from royal show business blood, she did not try to use her ancestry to advance her career, but rather saw her family's creative business as something of a classroom.
"I know the pressures of being the daughter of a great actress," Richardson said in a 2005 interview with London's Independent newspaper. "But it's inspiring. You learn so much that other people don't get to learn until later on. My father being a director, I [learned] a real work ethic. You think: 'One day, I'd like to be as good as that.' But when I was starting out professionally, I had a level of attention put on me that I didn't deserve or wasn't ready for. And it was hard, particularly in England, to make my way."
Richardson trained at London's Central School of Speech and Drama, hiding her family connections, and subsequently picked up minor parts in little-known theater and television productions. In 1985, she made her West End debut, playing the troubled young actress Nina in Anton Chekhov's "The Seagull." A year later, Richardson was cast in her first prominent movie role, starring in director Ken Russell's "Gothic" as "Frankenstein" author Mary Shelley.
A variety of more prominent movie and stage roles followed, but Richardson often gravitated toward artier film productions, with mainstream movies more exception than rule. Despite her British roots, she often played iconic American characters -- including Patty Hearst (in a movie of the same name), Blanche DuBois in Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire" and the title role in Eugene O'Neill's "Anna Christie."
With a gravelly, seductive voice (once compared to a combination of honey and iron filings), Richardson was frequently willing to play emotionally vulnerable roles. "I just feel for her," she told the Times in 1993 about Anna Christie. "Her anger and her loneliness and her pain."
Richardson's movie choices in 1990 exemplified her creative taste. That year, she starred in "The Comfort of Strangers," a drama about a couple (Richardson and Rupert Everett) trying to repair a failing relationship, and "The Handmaid's Tale," an adaptation of Margaret Atwood's novel about a future theocracy. Hinting at her growing interest in theater, the screenplays for both movies were written by the playwright Harold Pinter.
Richardson made her Broadway debut in 1993, playing opposite Neeson in "Anna Christie." She was married to producer Robert Fox at the time; they divorced that year, and she married Neeson in 1994. The couple had two sons together, Micheal and Daniel, and Richardson left acting for three years when they were born.
"I have a famous mother, and it took me years to get over that," she once told London's Mirror. "Now I have this really famous husband. I definitely feel a loss of confidence. Perhaps that's partly why I love living in New York, being free of all that family baggage, being open to all sorts of possibilities."
Richardson continued to appear in movies, with the highest-profile roles coming in the 1998 remake of "The Parent Trap" opposite Lindsay Lohan and Dennis Quaid, and 2002's romantic comedy "Maid in Manhattan" with Jennifer Lopez.
But Richardson's most distinguished work was delivered inside London and New York's theaters: as Sally Bowles in director Sam Mendes' revival of "Cabaret" in 1998 (for which she won a Tony and a Drama Desk award); a year later in the Broadway production of Patrick Marber's "Closer"; reprising a role once played by her mother in the 2003 London production of Henrik Ibsen's "The Lady From the Sea"; and 2005's Broadway revival of "A Streetcar Named Desire."
Los Angeles Times reviewer Laurie Winer said of her "Cabaret" performance: "Wearing a slip, torn stockings and dirty hair, she dazzles simply by lifting her huge, wondrous eyes -- lined in yesterday's stained makeup -- tearfully to the theater's low balcony."
In his Times review of "Closer," Michael Phillips wrote: "On stage, the unglamorously glamorous Natasha Richardson has a wonderful way of asking a question as if it were a statement, as if the question mark were extraneous and obvious. She does that in a way that reveals, warily, a bit of her character's insides."
Richardson was often drawn to stories that illuminated a character's deepest -- and sometimes darkest -- secrets.
In 2005's "Asylum," a movie she spent seven years getting made (taking an associate producer credit to help move it forward), Richardson played Stella, the unhappy wife of a psychiatric hospital doctor. The film, in which Richardson's character is drawn to a mental patient, failed to attract an audience in the United States, but it did bring the actress several British honors.
"One of the reasons I related to Stella, and why I think a lot of women relate to her, is that we've all had moments in life when you look at the edge of the abyss and think, 'Am I going to throw caution to the wind?' " she said in a 2006 interview with London's Evening Standard. "Most of us decide to pull in the reins. Stella doesn't."
In addition to the revival of "A Little Night Music," Richardson in recent years performed in several other projects with her closest relatives. In the 2005 film "The White Countess" she appeared opposite Lynn and Vanessa Redgrave. Two years later, she and her mother played a mother and daughter in "Evening."
Times staff writer Mike Boehm contributed to this report.

Number Caught Entering U.S. Illegally Rises Again
Data add fuel to debate over beefed-up border security
The number of people caught illegally entering the U.S. is up for a second straight year, according to federal data, adding fuel to the debate in Washington over whether the border should be better secured before any overhaul of immigration laws.
U.S. Border Patrol agents apprehended 388,422 people trying to enter without documents during the 11 months ending in August. That is already more than the 364,768 caught the year before, with a month still to go in the patrol's current fiscal year, which runs through September.
The largest increases occurred in Texas, which has accounted for more than half of apprehensions and is the current hotspot for human and drug smuggling along the Mexican border. "It obviously means more people are coming this way," said the patrol's Rio Grande Valley sector chief, Rosendo Hinojosa. Many of those caught are entering for the first time, he added.
The numbers are still far below the peak, from 1980 to 2005, when the Border Patrol averaged more than one million apprehensions a year. Migration from Mexico, which over the past four decades made up the largest immigration wave into the U.S. in modern times, shows no sign of reaching pre-recession levels, a report Monday by the nonpartisan Pew Hispanic Center said.
But after six years of declines, apprehensions have now risen for two years in a row despite the construction of a partial fence along roughly a third of the nearly 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border and a quintupling of border agents to more than 21,000 in the past two decades.
The rise in apprehensions is likely to underscore calls to better secure the boundary with Mexico before Congress allows those already here illegally to gain legal status or citizenship.
Some Republican lawmakers have said aggressive approaches, such as another doubling of agents or construction of a full border fence, should be part of any such measure, noting what happened in 1986, when Congress allowed people in the U.S. illegally to stay only to see more waves of illegal immigration.
An amendment included in the bill that passed the Senate in June boosted those efforts at a cost of $46 billion. But it was criticized as overkill by members of both parties, and the GOP-led House has thus far taken a different approach. A bill that cleared the House Committee on Homeland Security on a bipartisan vote called for crafting a border strategy before new money was committed.
"We have already spent some $75 billion on the border with relatively little to show for it," said Rep. Michael McCaul (R., Texas), chairman of the committee. "We don't just want to keep throwing money down there without a strategy."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) is considering introducing a version of the Senate bill that strips out the amendment ramping up border security and swaps in the House panel's measure committing no money upfront until a border strategy has been established, a House Democratic aide said.
While it is unclear how the House will respond to the uptick in people caught entering the U.S., some experts believe it could lead to additional border-security spending in some form, as lawmakers seek to protect themselves from critics of immigration reform.
"Politically, border security is going to have to be a big part of any package, because it is a way for Republicans supportive of reform to cover their right flank," said Lanae Erickson Hatalsky of Third Way, a Democratic group advocating a middle ground on immigration.
Even in some of the Texas border counties most heavily affected by illegal crossings, there are mixed feelings about whether a further militarization of the boundary can solve the immigration problem. The Texas Border Coalition, a group of elected officials and business leaders, says the federal government should instead direct more spending to modernizing overcrowded ports of entry, which would speed trade as well as snare drug and human smugglers.
"When I look at Washington's approach to border security, I see so much wasteful spending," said Monica Weisberg-Stewart, a McAllen, Texas business owner who chairs the coalition's border-security panel. "I see a fence that has more gaps than barriers and other measures that are just funneling illegal traffic to our ports of entry."
The Pew analysis found that the size of the undocumented immigrant population in the U.S. rose to 11.7 million in 2012 from 11.4 million in 2010, partly due to the growth in migrants from Central America. Impoverished people from that region are now the fastest-growing group of illegal immigrants, federal officials and immigration experts say.
Demographer Jeffrey Passel, lead researcher of the Pew report, called the increase in undocumented immigrants statistically insignificant overall, and said that the more telling finding is that migration from more populous Mexico doesn't appear to be returning to former levels. The U.S. recession, tighter border security, drug-cartel violence and a lower fertility rate have discouraged migration from Mexico in recent years. Smaller families mean fewer working-age people putting pressure on that country's labor market.
Still, some areas along the border remain battlegrounds. They include Brooks County, Texas, an hour north of the border, where authorities have found the corpses of 76 suspected illegal immigrants this calendar year, on pace to approach last year's death toll of 129.
"Here we are, some 70 miles from la frontera, and we're still getting this type of traffic? It's crazy," said Brooks County Chief Deputy Sheriff Benny Martinez.
Mexicans still make up the majority of those caught trying to enter illegally. But what the Border Patrol calls OTMs—people from places other than Mexico—represented more than a third of total apprehensions so far this fiscal year. One of them was Donald Betancourth, 29 years old, who said he crossed the Rio Grande in April after a month-long journey from El Salvador atop a freight train laden with migrants. At the Texas border, he arranged for a smuggler to guide him across the river and take him to Houston for $2,500. But the smuggler left him and 19 others in the south Texas brush.
After three days without food, Mr. Betancourth said he surrendered to border agents. He is seeking asylum on grounds that he faces persecution at home because he is gay, and is out on bail in Houston while he awaits a response. "We risk everything to come here fleeing from problems and looking for a better life," he said. "But I decided that if they deport me, I will never make the trip back again."
More Central Americans are certain to continue trying to enter the U.S., driven by economic desperation and violence in their home countries, scholars said.
While Mexico has been beset by drug violence, some parts of Central America are even more dangerous. San Pedro Sula in northwestern Honduras had the highest murder rate in the world in 2012 according to the Mexico-based Citizens' Council for Public Security and Criminal Justice, which compiles worldwide homicide statistics.
Now that Central Americans are better established in the U.S., they help new arrivals find jobs and housing, and can afford to pay smugglers to sneak their relatives across.
"The Central Americans have a much more difficult time trying to survive [in their native countries] than the Mexicans, so they keep coming," said Néstor Rodríguez, a sociology professor at the University of Texas who studies Central American migration.

An update from Lael C Melville, PsyD, a 2016 M.Div. candidate and president of the Perkins Black Seminarians Association, who also is blogging at "Following the Passion of the Cross to El Salvador":
Now I lay me down to sleep, God help my exhausted feet
If I should die before I wake, God bless my joy it is no mistake
For I have found the fuel that ignites, the fire in the darkest nights
The fire is from God above, the essence His unchanging love
Today (Wednesday, March 12, 2014) we visited an agency called Pro Search Association of El Salvador. The goal of this agency is to find missing children. A stark contrast to our earlier visit to a neighborhood school, Blanco Rose. At the neighborhood school 250 children, teachers and staff greeted us. The beautiful faces of the children along with the prepared songs and dances were now a stark contrast to children's voices silenced. In a life full of contrasts, the questions become apparent. What is our role as pastors in the margins between the living and the lost? What can we do locally (in our own neighborhoods) and globally in our world to enhance the perspective of an abundant life in our world for all? How do we help create the change we want to see?
Yesterday I introduced the idea of a finite human being in relationship with an infinite God. This relationship between God and human beings has the capacity to thrive wherever we are. The essential ingredients to thriving are: fuel, air and desire. The fuel is the recognition that there is opportunity at hand. That fuel is a reminder that somebody may want to have a relationship with God who has not had an opportunity to hear about God. Second, the air is the environment or culture. That is, how will the church (human beings who have a relationship with God) respond based on Christian beliefs (Bible) and social context? Finally, desire is that which God provides when Christians acknowledge that there are life situations and circumstances that are bigger than our capacity to respond. All three conditions are available in San Salvador (and likely in most other countries around the world).
The challenge I am extending to others and myself is to take inventory of your surroundings. Next, assess whether your humanity (finitude) has an opportunity based on a relationship with God (infinity) to respond to need/poverty/lack. That is, do we realize our own limits? Do we realize how much we need God to respond to issues concerning the human condition? Finally, be still and listen for the desires of your heart. View the response of your heart as a call to action.
The silence of the missing children and the laugher of the children of Blanco Rose is an opportunity for all to assess. What are the opportunities of our life? What assessments do we need to respond to? How will our findings make this world a better and safer place for our children, that is, the children of the world?

I think I'm the easiest one in my family to buy stocking stuffers for. (Yes, we're still doing stockings as grown-ups.) My dad and brother are harder–things that they want that could fit in a stocking are generally expensive and electronic. I think the perfect stocking stuffers are fun and quirky and kitschy. So, I thought I'd show you what Santa could put in my stocking this year for my Wednesday Wants.
Pink Elephant Dish Scrubber Brush
I actually have a dish brush on my Christmas list! I doubt I'll get one quite this cute, but I would love to have this little guy on the side of my sink.
Bag in the USSR Toiletries Bag
Possibly a little big for the stocking, but it could be stocking-adjacent! I love the retro Soviet feel of this bag. And I'm a little bit obsessed with finding the perfect toiletries bag. I am still looking for one just the right size with just the right feel. Maybe this is it? Probably not, but I would still love to add it to my collection!
1960's Vintage Inspired Gold Tone Pen Necklace
Calling my Joan Holloway Harris fantasy! I've talked about this pen before, but never gotten it. I want it!
Spiderweb Lace Cylinder with Wooden Matches
Winter is for candles and fires in the fireplace. I like to keep a box of matches around, but most matchboxes are kind of ugly. I love the idea of having a decorative matchbox, and this is perfect. A little Gothic for the fireplace.
I have no idea where I would wear these intricately cut decorative lashes, but I've been wanting them ever since I saw them. Even if I just wore them around the house to clean toilets, it would make me happy.
I have a style aversion to flesh-toned bandages. Instead, I have Curious George bandages, Tiki bandages, Cammo bandages, and Bling bandages. I would love to add these cutesy, girly bandages to my collection.
Stila Make an Impression in Moscow Makeup Palette
Four icy-cool eyeshadows and a dual lip and cheek cream would be a perfect stocking stuffer. Perfect for adding a winter look to your makeup collection, these colors look like rosy lips and cheeks fresh from a walk in the snow.
I could be a comic-book hero with this headband! This embroidered headband from Etsy seller Janine Basil is the piece that I'm most tempted by right now. I think I could pull it off, right?
No coal for anyone! What should be in your stocking? (Or, you know, your Jewmas sock?)

Federal Reserve Governor Elizabeth Duke, who had taken a lead role on housing issues at the U.S. central bank, and whose term had expired in January 2012, resigned on Thursday, the Fed said.
Her resignation is effective August 31. Fed governors can remain in office after their terms have expired, until they are replaced.

Duke, 60, was appointed in August 2008 by former President George W. Bush. The Fed said she made no announcement about her future plans.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke thanked Duke for her service, particularly in the field of banking.
"She brought fresh ideas grounded in her deep knowledge of the banking industry and the real-world dynamic between borrowers and lenders. I wish her the best in her future endeavors," he said in a statement.

Chicken Point Cabin by Olson Kundig Architects
Olsen Kundig Architects takes a sustainable approach to design, like this lakeside shelter in the woods located in Northern Idaho. The Chicken Point Cabin uses durable and unfinished materials and maintains a strong connection with the outdoors through a large, louvered door.
Winner of numerous deign awards, the Chicken Point Cabin is lauded for its use of large windows and large doorway to the outside. The large window-wall, measuring 30 feet by 20 feet, opens the entire living space to the lake. The low maintenance materials, concrete block, steel, concrete and plywood will last for many years to come and are left unfinished to maintain a stronger connection with the natural setting.

30. Re: Runtime Environment / ConfigurationKeith Babo Sep 18, 2011 7:52 PM (in response to Magesh Bojan)
Looks top notch. I do have one question about the ComponentLoader class and the following const:
public static final String COMPONENT_CLASS_SUFFIX = ".deploy.ComponentImpl";
It appears as though we require components to have a class named with the above in the 'deploy' package. Can we get around forcing this requirement? In the deployer code, we also appear to require that component implementations extend BaseComponent.
Class<? extends BaseComponent> componentClass = Class.forName(className).asSubclass(BaseComponent.class)
While it is required that component implementations implement the Component interface, there's no requirement for them to extend our base/support class.

One other thing. I realize this is not directly related to your changes, but your changes made me think of it. :-)
We are including a list of components in the core repository modules for AS6 and AS7 at the moment. We need to change this to the release repository. Not as part of this particular issue, but I'm hoping maybe this is addressed by Tom's changes to the assembly ...

I hinted this to Tom, specifically for AS6. Everything are core modules, so that people who touch any core module can do the respective changes to the deploy stuff only in core, the release will pick up these changes. But it is good to keep them in release repo as their tests can only be perfomed there.

Not sure where we are on this at the moment, but this just popped up over in AS7 land: http://community.jboss.org/wiki/AS7XMLParserValidationProposedIdea

Darran is not talking about validating those configuration documents, rather he is talking about validating the configuration parser implementations.

The Community Service Studies (CSS) Minor is a multidisciplinary program that provides a framework for understanding and engaging in critical social issues at the level of community. While the notion of community is increasingly complex, the program explores the nuances of community as defined through the lens of groups with common affiliation, identity, or grievance that may be geographically or nongeographically-based. The curriculum relies heavily on community-based service learning courses and is designed to provide students with a foundation of analytical, reflective, interpersonal, and leadership skills. Through supporting university partnerships with Chicago-area community-based organizations, students gain a local perspective on social justice issues, including those built on race, class, and gender inequalities and other forms of social, economic and political exclusion.

As the Florida football team turns its attention to Missouri, the offensive line is coming off its worst performance of the season.
As the Florida football team turns its attention to Missouri, the offensive line is coming off its worst performance of the season.
In last Saturday's 17-9 loss to Georgia, the Gators rushed for a season-low 75 yards and quarterback Jeff Driskel was sacked five times.
UF offensive center Jonotthan Harrison believes the last game was just an aberration.
"You guys won't see that anymore out of the offensive line," he said.
The biggest issue Florida's linemen had against the Bulldogs was pass blocking, as Driskel faced constant pressure when he dropped to throw.
"There were times when there was a miscommunication," Harrison said when asked about the pass protection problems. "It could have been between center and guard, or guard-tackle, tackle-tight end. Whatever the position may be, there was just a communication error, and when that error occurs, then the play will not function as smooth as it's supposed to."
Harrison said he and the rest of the offensive line held a players-only meeting Sunday and talked about how the unit can improve.
"Last game wasn't our best performance, but we've shown what we're capable of and it's well known the potential that our offensive line has," Harrison said. "I just know we're going to bounce back this Saturday and make sure everyone is fundamentally sound on the offensive line."
Florida's lack of pass protection led to three fumbles from Driskel, two of which were recovered by Georgia. The Gators put the ball on the ground a total of six times (four lost), and they will be at risk to do the same against Missouri.
The Tigers lead the nation in forced fumbles (17) and are second in fumbles recovered (14). In their 33-10 win over Kentucky last Saturday, they forced six and fell on three. On one of the turnovers, defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson scooped up his own strip and ran it back 60 yards.
UF offensive coordinator Brent Pease said his players must be aware of Missouri's ability to knock the ball loose.
"You look at a few plays on film and Richardson strips one, picks it up and runs it back against Kentucky all the way to the 20-yard line," Pease said. "So it's something our guys better know and they better have some ball security, because these guys are going after it."
As bad as Saturday's struggles were for his offense, Pease believes his players have learned from the loss and it will help them prepare for the Tigers.
"We gotta do a much better job with turnovers because that's a thing that ultimately hurt us the other day," Pease said. "If you don't put that in the back of your mind and understand you gotta get better from it and tighten it down in practice, the same thing can happen. But we'll go back and recreate drills that we gotta put some emphasis in this week."
UF coach Will Muschamp also said the Gators have to improve their ball security, but he isn't overly concerned with the fumbles they had against Georgia.
"We had four turnovers coming into that game," Muschamp said, "so we just need to do a better job of being more cognizant of ball security in those situations. We've done a good job of that for the previous seven games. It's not been a recurring issue throughout the year."
Other than the games against Texas A&M and South Carolina, Florida's offense has gotten off to slow starts this season.
The Gators have scored on their opening drive just twice, and one of those started at the opponent's 2-yard line.
On Tuesday, Pease put much of that blame on himself and his play calls.
"We gotta start a lot faster," he said. "Some of it (is) I gotta develop a better rhythm for them and get the kids where we got the ball moving a lot better. I gotta do a better job."
From a player's perspective, Harrison said the offense often has assignment issues in the first quarter and must eliminate them earlier.
"If one person misses that block or one person steps to far to the left, it can mess up an entire play," Harrison said. "So if we can get everybody on the same page, we will (start faster)."

In general, fainting is caused by decreased blood flow to the brain.
|Blood Flow to the Brain
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Decreased blood flow to the brain can be caused by:
Most commonly, vasovagal spells. Vasovagal spells can occur:
- During medical procedures
- During times of high stress, trauma, or fright
- After standing still for a long period of time
Medical conditions:
- Orthostatic hypotension , low blood pressure when standing
- Dehydration
- Anemia
- Hypoglycemia , which is low blood sugar
- Seizure
- Stroke or transient ischemic attack
- Abnormal heart rhythms
- Heart conditions
- Blood loss
Fainting can also occur as a side effect to medications. These include:
- Blood pressure medications
- Medications to regulate heart rhythms
- Diuretics
- Certain antidepressants
Symptoms may include:
- Sudden loss of consciousness
- Inability to remain standing or sitting
- Consciousness regained without any need for intervention
- Lightheadedness before losing consciousness
When Should I Call My Doctor?
Call your doctor if you are having episodes of fainting. This is especially important if you:
- Have a heart condition
- Have a job where you or others may be at risk if you faint. Examples include airline pilot, bus driver, or machinist.
When Should I Call for Medical Help Immediately?
Call for emergency medical services right away if you have:
- Weakness or numbness of face, arm, or leg, especially on the left side of the body
- Confusion
- Loss of balance, coordination problems
- Vision problems
- Severe headache
- Rapid, irregular heartbeat; chest pain
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with blood tests.
Your heart activity may be tested. This can be done with:
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)
- Holter monitoring
- Echocardiogram
Your brain activity may be tested. This can be done withelectroencephalogram (EEG).
Images may be taken of your blood flow. This can be done withMR angiogram andCT angiogram.
Additional tests may be done. They may include a tilt table test.
If initial tests are unclear, brain images may be taken. This can be done with:
- CT scan
- MRI scan
Treatment will depend on the underlying condition that has caused fainting. This may include medications, lifestyle changes, or surgery.
Knowing the warning signs of fainting can help prevent injury. If warning signs are present, the person should be encouraged to sit or lie down right away.
Decreasing the risk of fainting will depend on the cause. Some factors that may help include:
- Rising slowly and carefully from lying down. Start by sitting up for a minute and then stand up.
- Drinking plenty of fluids.
- Discussing helpful dietary changes with your doctor. This may include eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day.
- Avoiding alcohol or other drugs.
There are certain physical movements that rapidly increase blood pressure and blood flow to the brain. These movements may prevent fainting after warning signs appear. Examples of physical movements may include:
- Crossing your legs while tensing the muscles of legs, abdomen, and buttocks.
- Forcefully squeezing a rubber ball or other object as hard as possible.
- Gripping one hand with the other while tensing both arms and raising the elbows slightly.

Two dead in horrific Veterans Parkway crash
Cape Coral's Chief of Police is calling Thursday evening's crash senseless and one of the worst he's seen in a long time.
The images of this car crash are haunting. Two vehicles - a Hummer and a minivan - flipped upside down.
Debris flew everywhere.
The mangled metal of the minivan crushed two adults inside, killing them.
"We heard a kid crying in the backseat so the first thing we thought was to go them him out," said witness Crystal Vandevender.
Vandevender was driving directly behind the black Hummer. She and another driver had to break a window to get the little boy out.
"He unbuckled the seatbelt of the kid and he wouldn't come out. So I went to him to come and he came to me," she said. "Brought him up on the hill and I sat with him until they got the dad out."
Police identified the Hummer driver as 35-year-old Jason Jones, of NW 40th Place in Cape Coral.
Jones and his five-year-old son, Atticus, were both taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
Chief of Police Jay Murphy tells us this crash on Veterans Memorial Parkway and Chiquita Boulevard was senseless.
"The preliminary information is that the large black vehicle you see on its roof may have been driving in a reckless manner," Murphy said of Jones' vehicle.
Investigators say Jones was westbound on Veterans Parkway around 5:15 p.m. when the Hummer went off the north side of the road, into a grassy area and struck a row of shrubs.
The SUV went back onto the westbound lanes, crossed the median and two lanes of the road before slamming into the driver's side door of a 1992 Toyota minivan.
The impact made the Hummer spin and then flip onto its roof, coming to rest about 50 feet off the eastbound lanes of the road.
The minivan also flipped onto its roof and came to a stop half on the roadway and half on the shoulder.
The driver and passenger in the minivan were killed. They have been identified as 57-year-old Edward Mildner of Hernando, FL, and 48-year-old Joanne Grimes of Venice.
Mildner turned 57 the day of the crash.
A traffic homicide investigation is underway. Police say they do not know yet if alcohol or drugs played a role in the crash, but it is something they will look into.
The impact of the crash is hitting hard for many people who live nearby.
"It's crazy. They have families and lives that we are losing," said neighbor Alina Sandovao.
And many who came out to look at the wreck are holding on to their loved ones a bit tighter tonight
"You're here today... gone tomorrow," said neighbor Raysa Machin.
The fatalities were the ninth and tenth for the City of Cape Coral so far this year.

Commissioners learn majority of employees are overweight
OCI offers health insurance update.
LEXINGTON—On average, Dawson County employees are overweight.
A health insurance update presented to county commissioners on Friday shows a majority of employees who participated in a wellness check this fall have a body mass index higher than the recommended number.
Mark Schlange of OCI Insurance, the county's third-party health insurance administrator, told commissioners 160 of the 187 county employees took the company's wellness evaluation.
Results not only showed a high number are over weight but it also indicates 70% have high cholesterol, 35% have high blood pressure, 27% smoke and 21% have abnormal glucose levels.
Commissioners receive only general reports which include no employee names.
"These numbers give us a starting point when we're considering where you want to go with your health insurance policy," Schlange said. "When you have a self-funded policy, you have to understand where your risks are to help evaluate the program and services."
Cozad commissioner P.J. Jacobson said he is concerned about the issues brought out by the wellness check as well as the 27 employees who chose not to participate in the wellness evaluation, asking if there is a way to get more people to help themselves.
Schlange said offering incentives to employees to work toward health improvement is the best option, suggesting lower deductibles to entice people to change behaviors.
Another insurance representative, Joe Wellington, presented commissioners with information about value-added benefits with no cost to the county such as life or disability insurance.
OCI took over the third-party administration of the county health insurance in July. Changes cannot be made to the policy at this time, Schlange said, but information will help commissioners make those decision next spring.
In other action, county board members approved placement of a stop sign at the intersection of Roads 418 and 763 just north of Cozad.
An accident involving an empty school bus at that intersection prompted the action.
Jacobson called the intersection open, having no obstruction of view in either direction, but he said it is the only intersection on the north-south 418 which does not stop east-west traffic.
Commissioners unanimously approved the stop sign.
In other business, commissioners:
- accepted a bid of $179,554 from Murphy Tractor Supply for a 2010 John Deere motor grader for the roads department with the trade-in of a similar 1997 machine. The other bid received was from Nebraska Machinery for a CAT model for $203,045.
- referred a request for a conservation easement agreement between Spencer and Dona Knauss and Central Platte Natural Resources District to the planning and zoning commission.
- conducted individual workshops with the nine elected county officials to gather information for a more informed decision when the board sets salaries for those positions in January.
