Should a one-party town have its elected officials reflect "unity and common purpose?"
That's the Question of the Day.
(I'll bet PG&E lobbyist Willie Brown would answer in the affirmative.)
Deets below.
Wednesday evening, 455 Golden Gate Avenue:
Click to expand
Veteran Democratic activist Mary Jung was unanimously elected to serve as the San Francisco Democratic Party's chair, and several DCCC members were elected to fill leadership roles that will be critical to the local party's success heading into the November 2012 General Election. Top priorities discussed at the public meeting include re-electing President Obama, returning the Speakership to House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi by helping reclaim a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, and pushing to expand the number of Democratic voters citywide.
"I'm honored to serve as Chair of the San Francisco Democratic Party, and I look forward to working hard with my fellow Democrats in an election year with so much at stake," said Party Chair Mary Jung. "San Francisco Democrats elected a terrific team to lead our county central committee, and I think it reflects a spirit of unity and common purpose. I'm confident in our ability to help return President Obama to the White House, make Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi Speaker again, re-elect Senator Feinstein, and pass Gov. Brown's revenue measure so California can maintain vital public services, restore quality education for all, and support our most vulnerable."
Other officers elected at the general meeting held at the California State Office Building's Milton Marks Auditorium on Golden Gate Avenue are: First Vice-Chair (Finance) Zoe Dunning; Second Vice-Chair (Issues) Alix Rosenthal; Third Vice-Chair (Voter Registration) Trevor McNeil; Fourth Vice-Chair (Club Chartering and Development) Leah Pimentel; Recording Secretary Kat Anderson; Treasurer Tom Hsieh; Corresponding Secretary Matt Dorsey; and Parliamentarian Arlo Hale Smith. Rafael Mandelman will serve on the DCCC's Slate Card Committee along with the Chair and Treasurer. A committee tasked with proposing party bylaw changes to incorporate requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act, which assures public access and participation in local government public meetings, will include David Chiu, Arlo Hale Smith, Matt Dorsey and Hene Kelly. That ad hoc committee will seek to fully harmonize local party bylaws with relevant provisions of state law to address concerns that the election of six members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to the DCCC may occasionally trigger Brown Act requirements.
The committee also adopted two resolutions: one in support of placing AB 1648, a campaign finance reform measure known as the DISCLOSE Act, on the California ballot; and another expressing the Democratic Party's support for City College of San Francisco.
About the San Francisco Democratic County Central Committee
San Francisco's Democratic County Central Committee, or DCCC, is the governing body of the local Democratic Party as defined in California's Government Code and Elections Code. The DCCC is comprised of local Democrats elected by voters in each Assembly District, as well as partisan-level Democratic elected officials and nominees who serve as Ex-Officio Officers. Current members elected from the 17th Assembly District are: John Avalos, David Campos, David Chiu, Malia Cohen, Petra DeJesus, Matt Dorsey, Bevan Dufty, Zoe Dunning, Leslie Katz, Rafael Mandelman, Carole Migden, Leah Pimentel, Alix Rosenthal, and Scott Wiener. Members elected from the 19th Assembly District are: Kat Anderson, Kelly Dwyer, Bill Fazio, Tom Hsieh, Mary Jung, Hene Kelly, Meagan Levitan, Eric Mar, Trevor McNeil and Arlo Hale Smith. Ex Officio members are: U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, U.S. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, Attorney General Kamala Harris, State Senators Leland Yee and Mark Leno, and Assemblymembers Fiona Ma and Tom Ammiano.

Forum rules and no-advertising policy
As a participant on this forum, it is your responsibility to know and follow our rules. Please read this message in its entirety.
Board Rules
1. You're responsible for what you say.
As outlined in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, The Chronicle of the Horse and its affiliates, as well Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd., the developers of vBulletin, are not legally responsible for statements made in the forums.
This is a public forum viewed by a wide spectrum of people, so please be mindful of what you say and who might be reading it—details of personal disputes are likely better handled privately. While posters are legally responsible for their statements, the moderators may in their discretion remove or edit posts that violate these rules. Users have the ability to modify or delete their own messages after posting, but administrators generally will not delete posts, threads or accounts upon request.
Outright inflammatory, vulgar, harassing, malicious or otherwise inappropriate statements and criminal charges unsubstantiated by a reputable news source or legal documentation will not be tolerated and will be dealt with at the discretion of the moderators.
Credible threats of suicide will be reported to the police along with identifying user information at our disposal, in addition to referring the user to suicide helpline resources such as 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-273-TALK.
2. Conversations in horse-related forums should be horse-related.
The forums are a wonderful source of information and support for members of the horse community. While it's understandably tempting to share information or search for input on other topics upon which members might have a similar level of knowledge, members must maintain the focus on horses.
3. Keep conversations productive, on topic and civil.
Discussion and disagreement are inevitable and encouraged; personal insults, diatribes and sniping comments are unproductive and unacceptable. Whether a subject is light-hearted or serious, keep posts focused on the current topic and of general interest to other participants of that thread. Utilize the private message feature or personal email where appropriate to address side topics or personal issues not related to the topic at large.
4. No advertising in the discussion forums.
Posts in the discussion forums directly or indirectly advertising horses, jobs, items or services for sale or wanted will be removed at the discretion of the moderators. Use of the private messaging feature or email addresses obtained through users' profiles for unsolicited advertising is not permitted.
Company representatives may participate in discussions and answer questions about their products or services, or suggest their products on recent threads if they fulfill the criteria of a query. False "testimonials" provided by company affiliates posing as general consumers are not appropriate, and self-promotion of sales, ad campaigns, etc. through the discussion forums is not allowed.
Paid advertising is available on our classifieds site and through the purchase of banner ads. The tightly monitored Giveaways forum permits free listings of genuinely free horses and items available or wanted (on a limited basis). Items offered for trade are not allowed.
Advertising Policy Specifics
When in doubt of whether something you want to post constitutes advertising, please contact a moderator privately in advance for further clarification. Refer to the following points for general guidelines:
Horses – Only general discussion about the buying, leasing, selling and pricing of horses is permitted. If the post contains, or links to, the type of specific information typically found in a sales or wanted ad, and it's related to a horse for sale, regardless of who's selling it, it doesn't belong in the discussion forums.
Stallions – Board members may ask for suggestions on breeding stallion recommendations. Stallion owners may reply to such queries by suggesting their own stallions, only if their horse fits the specific criteria of the original poster. Excessive promotion of a stallion by its owner or related parties is not permitted and will be addressed at the discretion of the moderators.
Services – Members may use the forums to ask for general recommendations of trainers, barns, shippers, farriers, etc., and other members may answer those requests by suggesting themselves or their company, if their services fulfill the specific criteria of the original post. Members may not solicit other members for business if it is not in response to a direct, genuine query.
Products – While members may ask for general opinions and suggestions on equipment, trailers, trucks, etc., they may not list the specific attributes for which they are in the market, as such posts serve as wanted ads.
Event Announcements – Members may post one notification of an upcoming event that may be of interest to fellow members, if the original poster does not benefit financially from the event. Such threads may not be "bumped" excessively. Premium members may post their own notices in the Event Announcements forum.
Charities/Rescues – Announcements for charitable or fundraising events can only be made for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations. Special exceptions may be made, at the moderators' discretion and direction, for board-related events or fundraising activities in extraordinary circumstances.
Occasional posts regarding horses available for adoption through IRS-registered horse rescue or placement programs are permitted in the appropriate forums, but these threads may be limited at the discretion of the moderators. Individuals may not advertise or make announcements for horses in need of rescue, placement or adoption unless the horse is available through a recognized rescue or placement agency or government-run entity or the thread fits the criteria for and is located in the Giveaways forum.
5. Do not post copyrighted photographs unless you have purchased that photo and have permission to do so.
6. Respect other members.
As members are often passionate about their beliefs and intentions can easily be misinterpreted in this type of environment, try to explore or resolve the inevitable disagreements that arise in the course of threads calmly and rationally.
If you see a post that you feel violates the rules of the board, please click the "alert" button (exclamation point inside of a triangle) in the bottom left corner of the post, which will alert ONLY the moderators to the post in question. They will then take whatever action, or no action, as deemed appropriate for the situation at their discretion. Do not air grievances regarding other posters or the moderators in the discussion forums.
Please be advised that adding another user to your "Ignore" list via your User Control Panel can be a useful tactic, which blocks posts and private messages by members whose commentary you'd rather avoid reading.
7. We have the right to reproduce statements made in the forums.
The Chronicle of the Horse may copy, quote, link to or otherwise reproduce posts, or portions of posts, in print or online for advertising or editorial purposes, if attributed to their original authors, and by posting in this forum, you hereby grant to The Chronicle of the Horse a perpetual, non-exclusive license under copyright and other rights, to do so.
8. We reserve the right to enforce and amend the rules.
The moderators may delete, edit, move or close any post or thread at any time, or refrain from doing any of the foregoing, in their discretion, and may suspend or revoke a user's membership privileges at any time to maintain adherence to the rules and the general spirit of the forum. These rules may be amended at any time to address the current needs of the board.
Please see our full Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for more information.
Thanks for being a part of the COTH forums!

This book is written to fill the gap between the simple guides, those small books on special topics, and the big books only a few hobbyists need...and for which fewer have the funds. It offers mega-doses of information, concentrated so that it is informative and interesting. Included in this book are photos of over 600 species of fish and 100 aquatic plants, yet this is not an encyclopedia of fish and plants but a practical guide on the keeping, care, breeding and adaptation of aquarium fish and plants. For both biological and aesthetic reasons, we feel live plants and fish belong together. It is a World Class Atlas for the dedicated aquarist.

California Attorney General Jerry Brown can't abide goddamn record companies that fix prices. (Feel free to read that as record companies, straight up.) Anyway, when you bought all those Rico Suave CDs back in the day, you paid too much.
Can I tell you how this all relates to the big scheme of things? No, I get my record co. antitrust lawsuits mixed up. But this whole deal probably had something to do with bad behavior by execs from Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, and/or EMI Group.
But that doesn't matter now. What matters that these melon-farmers are going to own up for past misdeeds by paying for statewide music festivals.
El Protector De La Gente, Jerry Brown:

Brown and Arts Council Host Statewide Music Festivals Funded by a Price-Fixing Settlement
SACRAMENTO -Yodeling, operas, musicals, Japanese drumming and symphonies are among the summer events around the state sponsored by more than a half million dollars from a Department of Justice settlement with music companies in a case of fixing advertised prices.
Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. and the California Arts Council today announced dozens of musical presentations during this summer's festival season and throughout 2010. Visit the California Arts Council's website for a full listing of concerts and events benefiting from the grants:
"The Attorney General's office is proud to be part of providing these cultural events that bring people together to experience all types of music. It's affordable because of our ability to provide discounted tickets," Brown said, "and these performances are a testament to the incredible richness and diversity of the state's music."
The grants support performances and events in 43 of the state's 58 counties, reaching an estimated audience of 200,000.

FS#231 - Disable grid snap for auto snapping

Disable grid snap for auto snapping or otherwise configurable auto snap.
Tuesday, 18 June 2013, 19:07 GMT+2
Reason for closing: Implemented
I like this feature request. Quite often I find that snapping to grid gets in the way and in order to snap to an entity, particularly 'middle', excessive zooming in and out is required to avoid snapping to a grid point. Perhaps it could be a check box in Drawing Preferences>Snap Auto Settings?
+1 when you hide the grid, the autosnap continue to snap the invisible grid and i think the grid is just hide, not deactivate, maybe the performance can be better if qcad deactivate the calculation of grid spacing...
Workaround: you can configure the grid spacing to be e.g. 10000 / 10000 which leaves you with basically one grid point at 0/0.
It would be nice to have some options to configure auto snap. For example the ability to disable grid snap (as stated above), the ability to enable snap on entry, center of a circle (
FS#257 ) etc.
The solution could be to hide the manual snap options when auto snap is enabled and vice versa.
There could be a switch for auto/fixed(manual) and then checkboxes for the modes.
galio: see Edit - Application Preferences - Snap - Auto Snap (QCAD 3.1.1)
Ah perfect, that works great.
Anyways you could consider to hide the the fixed snap options when auto snap is activated.
You could add a button that links to Edit - Application Preferences - Snap - Auto Snap directly.
In the end just the switch for auto/fixed, the button that links to edit Auto Snap settings, the ortho settings and the relative zero options would be visible when auto is activated.
Should i add this as a separate feature request so you can think about if it makes sense?
Please note that QCAD deliberately offers many choices to the user in its user interface. This is intended to encourage (new) users to find the exactly right tool for their task.
If tools and options are hidden too well, users tend to think there might be no such option or tool and might opt for an unnecessary, more complicated solution.
I find myself using fixed object snaps quite often, if things are too dense for auto snap or to snap to center points or arcs / circles.
If you can elaborate on why you intend to hide fixed snaps, maybe I understand your idea a bit better.

How do new NFL draft picks get jerseys with their names on the back so fast?
Every player who is in New York to hear their name called and give a big bro hug to commissioner Roger Goodell is given an official team hat (on sale now!) and a jersey with their name on the back.
Wait, how did that happen if they were just drafted? No, they don't have 300 jerseys for every team in the back and dig out the Tavon Austin Rams jersey when St. Louis takes him.
Nike, who took over as the official jersey supplier to the NFL last year, is on site and sews the names on as the picks come in.
Pro Football Talk reported that Nike did that for the first time last year. It's just good business for Nike to keep that going this year, which is why all the picks have new No. 1 jerseys to mug for photos with.
We're guessing the guys in the back like picks like "Ansah" and "Fisher" more than "Richardson," but they've cranked them all out for the new first-round picks.
How do they get the names on the jerseys so fast? They put Milliner on the back of Jets jersey in 30 secs twitter.com/darrenrovell/s…

Roumen Velkov pleaded guilty this morning in Henderson County Superior Court to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 48 to 60 months in jail.
Roumen Todorov Velkov pleaded guilty this morning in Henderson County Superior Court to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to four to five years in jail with credit for time served.
Family members of the five people who died when Velkov drove his tractor-trailer into a line of stopped traffic on I-26 in 2010 wept that the sentence was a "miscarriage of justice."
One by one, they stood in front of the court describing their loved ones and the void their deaths created. As his translator relayed their cries, Velkov began to rock with his head lowered. Tears streamed down his face.
N.C. Highway Patrol troopers say Velkov, 48 at the time of the wreck, never braked as he plowed into traffic along eastbound Interstate 26 near Fletcher around 11 p.m. Oct. 24, 2010. The vehicles were stopped because of a previous accident near the Butler Bridge Road overpass.
The 18-wheeler careened into nine vehicles and a guardrail before finally coming to rest, according to investigators.
Velkov pleaded guilty to five counts of involuntary manslaughter, and Judge Alan Thornburg consolidated the charges into three counts. Each count carries a maximum sentence of 50 months, or a little more than four years, in prison.
Velkov, who has been in jail for 29 months and has no prior criminal record, was sentenced to 16-20 months for each of the three counts, with credit for time served. He still has at least 19 months but no more than 31 months to serve, or a year and seven months to two years and seven months.
In addition to involuntary manslaughter, Velkov was charged with one count of assault causing serious bodily injury, which was dropped, and having falsified records and holding an improper medical certificate, which he pleaded guilty to.
'You've left me with nothing'
Charles Novak, 22, was killed instantly in the chain-reaction collision set off by Velkov's tractor-trailer.
"Sixteen to 20 months," his mother, Jackie Novak, cried out in court Friday.
"You took everything from me," she said to Velkov. "You've left me with nothing."
She said Charles Novak was her only son, and she recalled the day he was first handed to her in the hospital.
"They said, 'Here's your son,'" she cried. "Immediately, like every parent, I started thinking about birthday parties and graduation and grandchildren."
Through sobs, she recalled the day her son was handed to her for the last time — at his funeral.
"This is my son. This is what is left of my son," she said, holding up a duffle bag containing his ashes.
"I couldn't have any more children. I had six miscarriages. He was my miracle and you just took him away because you didn't feel like stopping," Jackie Novak said through tears.
Crash investigators suspect Velkov fell asleep behind the wheel. Trooper Chris Jeffries testified in court Nov. 16, 2010 that Velkov told him at the scene, "I could not stop."
Witnesses testified in 2010 that Velkov was driving erratically, weaving and straddling lanes at a high rate of speed, and showed no sign of slowing down as they approached the line of stalled traffic.
Jeffries said Velkov's vehicle was in proper working order and that Velkov tested negative for drugs and alcohol. Investigators found a falsified medical certificate for Velkov and a falsified driving log.
The wreck claimed the lives of Novak, of Hendersonville; 23-year-old Theresa Seaver of Asheville; Amber Reed, 26, of Hendersonville; and Gail Kimble, 55, and Alvin Kimble Jr., of Lexington, S.C.
"That October Sunday was a beautiful one spent in her company. We talked of plans for her future, her wanting to be a nurse," Christy Seaver Baker said of her sister, Theresa Seaver. "I have no doubt in my mind that if her life were spared, she would be impacting countless more people with her infectious spirit and compassion as a nurse ... which she so desperately wanted to be."
"I mourn her hopes, her passion and her dreams. She will never be able to live to her full potential," Baker added. "Picking out an urn for your beloved sister — when all I wanted to do was just hold her one more time. The coldness of it all haunts me to this day still."
Gail Kimble died 30 minutes after the crash. Reed passed away two days later.
Keara Carpenter and Lacey Frederics were both seriously injured in the pile-up.
Reed's parents also spoke.
"We are still hearing from people whose lives have not only been touched, but in one way or another, bettered by our Ami. She was sweet, kind, loving, funny and she made every day of my life brighter just by being mine," her mother, Nita Nalley, said while reading a tearful statement to the court.
"She died as she lived, doing for others. She was an organ donor and there were six people whose lives were impacted by Amber, and they never even met her. She was my child, my inspiration and my hero. Amber was and will forever be, 'My special angel.'"
"I do not have to convince Mr. Velkov of his horrible act, but to show the court that he deserves to spend as much time in jail as the court allows. I know that no matter what the outcome, it will not bring back our loss," said Amber Reed's father, Alfred Nalley.
"There is a picture of Amber and me dancing at her wedding two years before her death. ...As we danced she said, 'Daddy this is your song.' Playing was 'I Loved Her First,'" Alfred Nalley said. "This would be my last dance with my Ami."
Assistant District Attorney Doug Pearson said there were inconsistencies noted on Velkov's driver's log of times he should have been driving and resting. He said drivers are required at all times to carry a certificate from a medical examiner showing physical fitness and ability to drive.
Pearson said Velkov's certificate was "falsely obtained with false documentation."
"What Mr. Roumen Velkov has done is nothing short of a life sentence to me and our family," said Alfred Nalley. "It was Mr. Roumen Velkov solely alone who killed five innocent members of our families and injured nine others."
"We now live miles away from where Teri took her last breath," Baker cried. "I have to live with knowing that on her way back from visiting me that Sunday in October, she died a gruesome death while I slept so soundly in my bed in Charlotte. Since her death, I wake up every morning feeling this emptiness and sadness deep in my gut — this is how I start my days."
Jackie Novak's sister, Michelle Novak, doubled over, shuddering with sobs as she explained the affect her nephew's death has had on her and her sister. After the plea, the two talked about their next trip to Washington, D.C., where they said they will continue to lobby for change in trucking safety laws.
"We will change it for the next family," Jackie Novak said.
Some changes are already in the works, they said. Medical certificates are "much more difficult to get now," Jackie Novak said, and truck drivers are also required to put in so many training hours.

Fluid retention
Mild swelling and fluid retention (called edema) is quite common during pregnancy, especially in these last weeks. Some women will notice that their feet and ankles become puffy by the end of the day.
Be sure to tell your health care provider about any swelling you experience, particularly if you have severe or generalized swelling, especially in your hands or face, or a sudden weight gain of more than 1 pound. These symptoms may indicate a complication known as preeclampsia, a form of high blood pressure in pregnancy. Other symptoms of preeclampsia include severe or constant headaches, blurry vision or seeing spots, and pain in the upper right area of the abdomen. Early treatment of preeclampsia can help prevent the condition from becoming worse and prevent it from causing other complications.
Ways to alleviate normal swelling include:
|I'm having trouble getting comfortable while sleeping. Is there any position that's best for me and my unborn baby?
As your unborn baby grows and increases the size and weight of your uterus, finding a comfortable sleeping position can be a challenge. Lying on your back should be avoided due to pressure on the inferior vena cava, a major vein that returns blood from the lower body to the heart. Long-term pressure on this vein may limit the blood flow to the placenta. In addition, this position can increase pressure on your back and intestines and may be uncomfortable. Sleeping on your stomach during pregnancy should also be avoided, because of pressure on the fetus.
The best sleeping position for a pregnant woman is on her side, especially the left side. This allows for maximum blood flow to the unborn baby and improves kidney function in the mother. Improved kidney flow helps to reduce any swelling. To get more comfortable on your side, try placing a pillow between your knees and one behind your back. Don't panic if you wake up and find you are on your back, just turn over to one side.

A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blood clot that develops in a blood vessel elsewhere in the body (most commonly from the leg), travels to an artery in the lung, and forms an occlusion (blockage) of the artery.
A blood clot (thrombus) that forms in a blood vessel in one area of the body, breaks off, and travels to another area of the body through the bloodstream is called an embolus. An embolus can lodge itself in a blood vessel, blocking the blood supply to a particular organ. This blockage of a blood vessel by an embolus is called an embolism.
An embolism to the lung may cause serious life-threatening consequences and, potentially, death. Most commonly, a PE is the result of a condition called deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in the deep veins of the leg).
The heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins make up the body's circulatory system. Blood is pumped with great force from the heart into the arteries, then into the capillaries (small blood vessels in the tissues) and returns to the heart through the veins. Much of the force of the heartbeat is lost when the blood enters the veins and results in the slowing down of the blood flow through the veins back to the heart. Under certain conditions, decreased blood flow may contribute to clot formation.
Blood clotting is a normal process that occurs in the body to prevent bleeding. The body makes blood clots and then breaks them down. Under certain circumstances, the body may be unable to break down a clot, which may result in a serious health condition.
Abnormal blood clotting in the veins is related to a combination of several problems such as "sluggish" blood flow through the veins, an abnormality in clot forming factors, and/or an injury to the blood vessel wall.
Blood clots can form in arteries and/or veins. Clots formed in veins are called venous clots. Veins of the legs can be classified as superficial veins (close to the surface of the skin) or deep veins (located near the bone and surrounded by muscle).
Venous clots most often occur in the deep veins of the legs. This condition is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or deep vein clot. Once a clot has formed in the deep veins of the leg, there is a potential for part of the clot to break off and travel (embolize) through the bloodstream to another area of the body. Deep vein thrombosis is the most common cause of a pulmonary embolism. Therefore, the term venous thromboembolism (VTE) may refer to deep vein thrombosis and/or the complication, pulmonary embolism.
Other less frequent sources of pulmonary embolism are a fat embolus, amniotic fluid embolus, air bubbles, and a deep vein thrombosis in the upper body. Clots may also form on the end of an indwelling intravenous (IV) catheter, break off, and travel to the lungs.
Risk factors that are associated with the processes that may increase the risk of a venous thromboembolism include:
A risk factor is anything that may increase a person's chance of developing a disease. It may be an activity, such as smoking, diet, family history, or many other things. Different diseases have different risk factors.
Although these risk factors increase a person's risk, they do not necessarily cause the disease. Some people with one or more risk factor never develop the disease, while others develop disease and have no known risk factors. Knowing your risk factors to any disease can help to guide you into the appropriate actions, including changing behaviors and being clinically monitored for the disease.
The following are the most common symptoms for pulmonary embolism. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently:
You may or may not have these symptoms should a pulmonary embolism occur. Usually, if a PE is suspected, the doctor will check your legs for evidence of a deep vein thrombosis.
The type and extent of symptoms of a pulmonary embolism will depend on the size of the embolism and whether the person already has existing heart and/or lung problems.
The symptoms of a pulmonary embolism may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Pulmonary embolism is often difficult to diagnose because the signs and symptoms of PE mimic those of many other conditions and diseases.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for a pulmonary embolism may include any, or a combination, of the following:
Specific treatment will be determined by your doctor based on:
Treatment options for pulmonary embolism include:
An important aspect of treatment of pulmonary embolism is prophylactic (preventive) treatment to prevent formation of additional embolisms.
Because pulmonary embolism is caused by an embolus formed elsewhere in the body (generally in the legs), and because it is often difficult to detect presence of a venous embolus prior to the onset of complications such as a pulmonary embolism, the prevention of these emboli is necessary in the prevention of PE.
In order to prevent pulmonary embolism, the only effective way is to prevent deep vein thrombosis. Prophylactic treatment to prevent DVT includes:
Many patients remain at risk for development of DVT for a period of time after they are either discharged from the hospital or transferred to a different type of care facility. It is important that prophylactic treatment for DVT continue until the risk for DVT development has been resolved.

The five models with a variety of lengths and wattages make it very customer friendly. It has a shatter resistant design, automatic safety shutoff to prevent overheating, and an indicator light.
I've had this heater for about a year now without any issues. When calibrating, the numbers on the heater aren't reliable but if you use the tank's thermometer, it's not that difficult to properly calibrate it. Once you do, you shouldn't have to think about it again. The indicator light is a big plus so you can know when it's actually on. And one of the biggest advantages is that it's FULLY submersible which many heaters aren't.------------------------------funkman262's 90g Planted Tank Journal
This heaters price was right but it died after three months. It was always inaccurate for the temp I wanted it to run for the entire time I had it.------------------------------
Google is your friend. Use it!!!
I have 2 of these one in 20G and a 55G. I have had no major issues besides the numbers on the unit do not match the actual temp, but it is within a degree or two and is easily fixed by starting and letting it run and monitoring it at first to see where it is running. It is a safe buy. :)
The affordable price of this heater makes it good for entry level applications. The fact that it is fully submersible is also a plus. The biggest con is that the temperature listed on the dial is never really what your gonna get. I bought and over sized one for my tank and in order to get my tank to 76 degrees i had to set the heater to almost 81.------------------------------40 Gallon Breeder Planted: harlequin rasbora rummynose tetra corydoras cherry barbs

There are a variety of issues that can increase the risk of having a PAD. Fortunately, many of the risk factors can be avoided or managed. The more factors you control, the more you reduce your risk of PAD.
Quit Smoking
Chemicals in tobacco smoke contribute to the build-up of plaque in the arteries, increasing your risk of atherosclerosis. Smoking can also cause immediate changes in blood vessels, like spasming, which can affect blood flow.
Quitting smoking is the best way to put yourself on the right track. Talk with your doctor about tools and programs to help you quit. Secondhand smoke can be damaging as well, so try to avoid that when possible.
Reach and Maintain a Healthy Weight
If you are overweight or obese, talk to your doctor about a plan to lose weight. Adopt a sensible eating plan and exercise regularly. Plan to lose weight gradually to help you maintain your weight at the desired level. Consider consulting with a dietitian, who can help you with meal planning and portion sizing.
Eat a Healthy Diet
Your diet can affect your "bad" and "good" cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
A well-balanced diet includes plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and nuts. Also consider substituting bad fats for good fats. This means eating more mono- or polyunsaturated fats like olive and canola oil, and less saturated and trans fats which can raise your bad cholesterol levels.
General guidelines include adding fish, which contains omega-3 fatty acids, to your diet at least twice per week. Talk to your doctor about whether you should take omega-3 supplements.
Exercise Regularly
Regular aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking, using a stationary bike, or treadmill, can help improve blood vessel health and blood flow. Regular exercise will also help strengthen the heart muscle, decrease the heart's workload, and lower blood pressure. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise per day on most days of the week.
Daily Aspirin
If you are at high risk for PAD, your doctor may recommend taking daily aspirin to help control blood clots. Blood clots may be more likely to form and cause greater problems in people with PAD. Since aspirin therapy is not without risk, be sure to consult with your doctor before taking an aspirin a day.
Manage Other Health Conditions
Certain medical conditions are associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and PAD. While not all risk can be eliminated, carefully managing these conditions can greatly decrease the risk of blood flow problems. Work with your doctor to help manage:
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Hypertension

Arthritis, itself a group of more than 100 different diseases, is one category of rheumatic diseases. Rheumatic diseases may cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints and other supporting body structures, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones. However, rheumatic diseases can affect other areas of the body, including internal organs. Some rheumatic diseases involve connective tissues (called connective tissue diseases), while others may be caused by an autoimmune disorder, which means the body's immune system attacks its own healthy cells and tissues.
Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases may be treated by your doctor and/or other medical specialists and health care providers. Several doctors from different medical specialties may be involved in the treatment at the same time. This multidisciplinary team approach is particularly important in managing the symptoms of a rheumatic disease, especially as many symptoms are chronic and change in severity over time.
Some of the more common medical professionals involved in the treatment of arthritis and other rheumatic diseases may include the following:
While your primary care doctor may treat and/or diagnose your disease, he or she may refer you to a specialist.
The orthopedist may have completed up to 14 years of formal education. After becoming licensed to practice medicine, the orthopedic surgeon may become board-certified by passing both oral and written examinations given by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery.
Many orthopedic surgeons choose to practice general orthopaedics, while others specialize in certain areas of the body (for example, foot, hand, shoulder, spine, hip, or knee), or in a specialized area of orthopaedic care (for example, sports medicine, trauma medicine). Some orthopedists may specialize in several areas and may collaborate with other specialists, such as neurosurgeons, rheumatologists, or physiatrists in caring for patients.
Physical therapists, or PTs, are very important members of the health care team. They evaluate and provide treatment for people with health problems resulting from injury, disease, or overuse of muscles or tendons.
Physical therapists have an undergraduate degree in physical therapy, and many have a master's degree. In order to practice, all graduates must be licensed by their state by passing a national certification examination.
Physical therapists may practice in a variety of settings, including:
As related to arthritis and other rheumatic diseases, physical therapists provide comprehensive training that includes, but is not limited to, the following:
Occupational therapists work in a variety of different settings, including the following:
One in five American adults has arthritis or chronic joint discomfort, according to a 2005 report from the CDC. The CDC found that nearly 47 million people per year have joint problems, which was previously estimated at 43 million people (including children). It also found that 19 million Americans had to limit their activities because of their discomfort. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in America. CDC experts advise people not to ignore the pain and stiffness in their joints, since these symptoms can be treated.
Arthritis and rheumatic diseases can affect anyone, at any age, or of any race. However, certain diseases are more common in certain populations, including the following:
The cause of most types of rheumatic diseases remains unknown and, in many cases, varies depending on the type of rheumatic disease present. However, researchers believe that some or all of the following may play a role in the development or aggravation of one or more types of rheumatic diseases:
The following are the most common symptoms of arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently, and different types of rheumatic diseases present different symptoms. In general, symptoms may include:
The symptoms of arthritis and other rheumatic diseases may resemble other medical conditions and problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.

Mets hold intriguing chip in Dickey
If there was a time to turn a top-of-the-rotation starter into a package of young prospects, this is it. The Kansas City Royals just gave up four of their best prospects to get Shields and Wade Davis from the Rays.
Dickey had better numbers than Shields and is making less money in 2013. He's also about as marketable as any player in baseball.
That's why these next few days should be interesting as the Rangers, Blue Jays, Red Sox and other clubs look again at the pitching market. Anibal Sanchez and Kyle Lohse are still available in free agency. And there's Dickey.
He's 38 years old and coming off a season in which he led the National League in innings and strikeouts, winning 20 games and the NL Cy Young Award. He seems like a perfect fit for the Rangers, who were unable to acquire Greinke or Shields. Actually, he'd make pretty much any club way better.
Here's the rub. There appears to be a gap between how the Mets value Dickey and how other teams value him. Hey, that's how the game is played. Now, with Shields and Greinke gone, the Mets would appear to be in a stronger position.
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson has asked for such a large package of prospects that some executives have wondered how serious he is about trading him.
On the other hand, Alderson has said all along he's simply in a listening mode, that he's also OK with signing Dickey to an extension or beginning the 2013 season with him and allowing the market to play out after that.
There probably is a part of Alderson that doesn't want to trade Dickey. He became the face of the Mets last summer, his every start an event. Also, if the Mets hang onto him, their rotation would be solid.
But there are holes up and down the roster, and until some of those are filled, the Mets probably won't compete in the NL East. As difficult as it might be for Alderson to deal him, Dickey's value might never be higher.
He pitched more innings than either Shields or Greinke. He had more strikeouts, too, and a lower ERA. Actually, Dickey's ERA was significantly lower -- 2.73 compared to 3.52 for Shields and 3.48 for Greinke. Even if you adjust Dickey's number upward because he is in the NL, he'd be a huge pickup.
He brings more than just great numbers to the table. He has a story to tell, a story of being kicked in the teeth a few times, of refusing to give up, of believing in himself when almost no one else did.
Dickey is pretty close to the nicest guy in baseball, and he's also one of the most marketable. His starts are a reason to go to the ballpark. Dickey essentially invented a new pitch, a knuckleball he throws harder than any previous knuckleballer attempted to throw his pitch.
Dickey would be a nice consolation prize for the Rangers, and there'd be some symmetry in him returning to the franchise that originally drafted him in 1997.
Dickey spent five seasons with Texas and struggled almost from start to finish. Finally, manager Buck Showalter bluntly told him to go back to the Minor Leagues and work on that knuckleball, that his traditional stuff wasn't good enough.
Dickey did as he was told and allowed six home runs in his first start as a knuckleballer in 2006. The Rangers showed him the door shortly after that, and Dickey spent time with five organizations over the next five seasons.
As he kept getting thrown off the bus, he never stopped believing in himself. He continued to tweak his knuckleball and finally came up with a spectacular version of the pitch. This season was a reward for 15 mostly tough seasons.
Because Dickey is 38 years old, there's no way to know how much longer he can pitch at a high level. But the knuckleball doesn't require the arm strength of other pitches, and Dickey has worked hard to keep himself in great shape.
At the moment, he appears the next logical domino to fall in the pitching market. If nothing else, Alderson finally may be able to gauge Dickey's value and whether he should move him or not.

Definitely, the Lake Baikal is a spot of superlatives: it's the world's the deepest, the oldest, the clearest lake that contains the largest volume (20% of the total) of the world's freshwater. Moreover, Baikal is the largest lake in Eurasia, and the deepest lake in the world. That's why the Lake Baikal is one of the UNESCO's World Natural Heritages.
Olkhon Island is the biggest island in Lake Baikal and you can see many of adherents of shamanism believe that it is one of the spiritual island and the highlight of the island is Shamanic Rock. You'll visit to Listvyanka settlement and do city sightseeing tour in Irkutsk and optional boat trip on the Lake Baikal.

The heart is the hardest working muscle in the human body. Located almost in the center of the chest, the adult human heart is about the size of one fist.
At an average rate of 80 times a minute, the heart beats about 115,000 times in one day or 42 million times in a year. In a 70-year lifetime, an average human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times. Even when a person is at rest, the heart continuously works hard.
The cardiovascular system, composed of the heart and blood vessels, is responsible for circulating blood throughout your body to supply the tissues with oxygen and nutrients.
The heart is the muscle that pumps blood filled with oxygen and nutrients through the blood vessels to the body tissues. It is made up of:

text: Listen Europeans Most Open to Those with Intellectual Disabilities Education may play a role in receptivitiy For Immediate Releaseby Cynthia English and Gale MullerWASHINGTON, D.C. -- Gallup surveys in 112 countries in 2010 show people's perceptions of how receptive their communities are to those with intellectual disabilities vary worldwide. More than half of adults (55%) with an opinion on the matter say the city or area where they live is a good place for people with intellectual disabilities. Perceived receptivity is highest in Europe, where 80% say their communities are good for people with intellectual disabilities, and lowest in the former Soviet Union (47%) and Asia (46%).In consultation with Special Olympics, which has extensively studied the challenges that people with intellectual disabilities face, Gallup began measuring global perceptions of receptivity toward this group in 2010. This data provides a first look at these perceptions and reveals important differences within regions.In the Middle East and North Africa, for example, 50% of those with an opinion region-wide say their communities are good places for people with intellectual disabilities. Within the region, as few as 24% of Yemenis say where they live is a good place and as many as 79% of Syrians say this. In Europe, where perceived receptivity is generally high, 52% in Bulgaria say where they live is a good place for people with intellectual disabilities and 91% say this in the Netherlands.More Educated Perceive More Receptivity Where They LiveEducation plays some role in people's perceptions of their communities' receptivity to those with intellectual disabilities, even after one's income is considered. Respondents with at least some secondary education are much more likely than those with less education to say where they live is a good place for people with intellectual disabilities. Less than half of the least educated group say this compared with two-thirds of those with at least four years of tertiary education and 63% for the middle education group. Perceptions of receptivity were not meaningfully different between the sexes or by age after one's income and education were accounted for.It is unclear from the data whether more education leads to more receptivity of people with intellectual disabilities itself, or just the perception of it. What is clear is that much needs to be done in many areas of the world to improve how receptive communities are to these valued members of society. Residents assessments of whether the area they live in is a good place for people with intellectual disabilities are an important part of the ongoing research in this area.For complete data sets or custom research from the more than 150 countries Gallup continually surveys, please contact email@example.com or call 202.715.3030.Survey MethodsResults are based on telephone and face-to-face interviews with approximately 1,000 adults, aged 15 and older, per survey administration. Interviews were conducted in 112 countries throughout 2010. For results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error ranged from a low of ±1.7 percentage points to a high of ±4.7 percentage points. The margin of error reflects the influence of data weighting. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of survey data.For more complete methodology and specific survey dates, please review Gallup's Country Data Set details.

Why did Shanghai, the largest city in China, become one of our 16 Sister Cities in 1979? Well, we should all thank former Mayor and current U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein:
"It was sort of a race between Los Angeles and San Francisco to establish a Sister City relationship with Shanghai and of course San Francisco won – and it was the first such Sister City relationship between an American city and a Chinese city."
(Once again L.A. loses, of course(?) – thanks DiFi.) Now it turns out that our Big Sis is hosting a big party this year – it's World Expo 2010. So, that's a good excuse for a bunch of the Bay Area's cultural organizations to represent, via the Shanghai Celebration featuring Honorary Chair and San Francisco First Lady Jennifer Siebel Newsom.
Jay Xu, Director of the Asian Art Museum, confronting a media scrum after today's announcement:
Check out the calendar of upcoming events all related to the Paris of the East – it's packed, baby. Swan Lake featuring San Francsico Ballet Principal Dancer and Shanghai native Yuan Yuan Tan will kick things off from January 23-31 and then on February 12th comes the debut of the cornerstone of the Shanghai Celebration, a big exhibit at our Asian Art Museum simply called Shanghai. It's going to be mega.
Just ask Jay Xu:
"The 2010 World Expo that opens in May is Shanghai's coming-out party, the official debut as the city reclaims its position as a global powerhouse. The Asian Art Museum's Shanghai exhibition was timed to coincide with this prominent international event. Only through understanding its tumultuous history, can one truly understand the progressive and stylish Shanghai of today."
O.K. then.
Our jet-setting mayor was on hand to cheerlead for San Francisco, a part of his job which I think everybody would agree he does well. He was dressed for rain today, with blue jeans, and a pair of brown shoes that he claimed were "ruined" by the wet:
More deets from the AAA:
"The Shanghai Celebration is an unprecedented, year-long festival presented by more than thirty San Francisco Bay Area organizations commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the sister city relationship between San Francisco and Shanghai.
Spearheaded by the Asian Art Museum, the Celebration runs throughout 2010, coinciding with the World Expo presented in Shanghai from May to October. The more than 50 Shanghai-related programs feature exhibitions, concerts, performances, films, lectures, book readings, artist demonstrations and other special events and cover topics such as Shanghai's architecture, jazz, historic Jewish communities, Art Deco design, filmmaking industry, contemporary art, cuisine, high-rise urban planning and fashion.
The cornerstone of the Celebration is the Asian Art Museum's presentation of Shanghai, a major exhibition examining the visual culture of one of the world's most cosmopolitan cities, scheduled for February 12-September 5, 2010.

When a prominent member of the Jewish community was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago, she learned of the U.S.-based Center for Jewish Healing. She writes in a private letter: "I inquired into the existence of a similar framework in Toronto, but was disappointed to hear that there was no such robust resource."
In fact, the Toronto Jewish Healing Project was established in the mid-1990s by a number of concerned workers in the field. Etta Ginsberg-McEwan, a retired social worker, became its extraordinarily effective volunteer co-ordinator. Rabbis and lay people from across the spectrum of the community joined the committee. Others provided modest funds that enabled us to run groups, conferences for professionals and healing services.
After some years, it became clear that the program needed a stronger framework. Following the lead of large Jewish communities elsewhere, we handed over the reins to a local Jewish agency in the hope that it would expand the activities. It didn't happen. As a result, some of the original initiators and other volunteers have now taken back the program in an effort to revive it.
The need for it has been articulated in the same letter: "I believe that for people going through personal difficulty and pain through serious illness and loss, the value of a resource for material, prayers and general guidance that draws on generations of Jewish wisdom and insight cannot be overstated." This reflects a widely held view.
The letter also articulates the reason: "As soon as one's present-day pain is seen in the context of the continuity of our lives and heritage, it becomes easier to develop the inner, spiritual resources necessary to go on living."
Hence the sense of loss: "Personally, I have found the absence of such a program a void in the community and wish it did exist. It certainly could have been a great source of comfort to me. As in so many other areas, resources are limited, but this need not be a high-cost service."
Indeed it wasn't. Most of the modest funds were spent on telephone, stationery and paid announcements. Those who are now restarting the program are looking for volunteers and, yes, money to cover basic expenses. Jack Kugelmass, a social worker and therapist, has agreed to co-ordinate the work for the time being.
He'll be pleased to hear from potential co-workers and users, and individuals and institutions prepared to provide seed money. He can be reached at 647-873-4804 and at firstname.lastname@example.com. More information can be found at www.torontojewishhealing.com.
Physical pain management and, hopefully, cure is the task of the medical profession. Judaism has always held doctors in high esteem. But there's more to healing than cure. We all know people who've been cured but not healed and those who are healing without being cured.
Healing isn't an alternative to medicine. It isn't a form of psychotherapy or "the laying of hands." Healing seeks to help people reach out to God. In the words of our liturgy: "Heal us, O Eternal, and we will be healed." The same prayer praises God for granting us "complete healing for all our afflictions."
God doesn't cure. Doctors might. But God helps us to carry the burden of illness. Jewish sacred texts provide the context. Many who've come together to study in the hallowed way of Jewish learning testify that that they've been strengthened both by sharing their pain with others and learning from what tradition teaches. The pain hasn't disappeared, but the experience of sharing and learning made it more bearable.
Heeding Holy Writ brings students in touch with the teachers of long ago. The ancients carried similar burdens as we do and asked similar questions. Asking the questions can be no less helpful than finding the answers.
One of the important insights of this kind of study is the discovery that our forebears never lost hope and never gave up on God. They suffered no less than we do, but they sought to transcend the pain, at times even discern a purpose in it. And if they could find hope and faith, so can we. That's the testimony of many who in the past have availed themselves of the Jewish healing program.
Its anticipated return to the Jewish community in Toronto – and hopefully, in time, to other places – will provide a new resource for Jews in need. It won't remove problems, but it may make them smaller, and thus more bearable.

As things slowly begin to take shape after five weeks of action, some teams are making key personnel changes, including Perfumerias Avenida who is bringing Le'Coe Willingham back to Salamanca.
To ask Willingham to bring the good times back to Perfumerias Avenida is perhaps asking just a little too much. Granted, she was part of clubs' first ever foray to the Final Four, and will for sure evoke many great memories for the Avenida fans. But, they are also a wise bunch, and those supporters will know these are very different times from back then.
|LeCoe Willingham is set to return to Perfumerias Avenida
Pitched in the toughest group of the tournament, the former EuroLeague Women champions have found it tough going so far with three losses from the first four games. However, if Willingham can find anywhere near the level of production she did during the 2009 and 2010 seasons, then the club has a chance of progressing to the post-season.
Willingham is a fine player with a nice shooting touch, good range, and looks a great pick-up for Avenida on paper.
But, they will know she is not the solution - just one part of the solution if they are going to find some much needed form.
There was a visible outpouring of emotion in Krakow this week as Wisla finally got off the mark at the fourth attempt - something which even as a neutral fan was was a delight to witness. The hugely passionate fans created a superb atmosphere for the team ahead of the tip-off, and every one of the players responded in a big way. It brought Krakow alive again and there are few better sights in women's basketball than Wisla playing like that in front of those supporters.
Yes, it was a stirring performance against Sparta&K, one that oozed incredible levels of energy, detemination and purpose. But best of all, Wisla had to play smart to take down such an excellent team as the Russians. I thought Tina Charles showed her class, Anke De Mondt re-discovered her shooting tough from outside, but Cristina Ouvina was incredible and possibly delivered a breakout performance at the elite level.
|Wisla Can Pack head coach Jose I. Hernandez can now hint at a smile in Krakow
Additionally, it was hard not to smile when the cameras regularly panned to Jose Hernandez who was in a fist-clenching and air-punching mood. You can hardly blame him. He's been dealt a pretty rough hand of late with injuries and absences, whilst his team could, and should have beaten BK Imos Brno in regulation time a couple of weeks ago.
Unsurprisngly, all of that sheer frustration was therefore released in a euphoric and liberating manner which was great to see, and hearty congratulations are due to both him, and his assistants Jordi Aragones and Artur Golanski.
It was also a result which gave General Manager Piotr Dunin-Suligostowski a real lift after his recent health scare, and I am sure nobody at the usually very gracious Sparta&K would begrudge those guys the victory on a night when they were just the better team.
At this juncture, I need to hold up my hands in apology to Sparta&K since I failed to mention them in regular despatches before they suffered their first loss of the season. Despite losing to Wisla, they deserve much credit for opening the season with four terrific wins, and I guess there is nothing worse than a great wounded beast like Sparta&K coming off a loss in a competition they are so synonymous with.
The same can also be said for Famila Schio who I have barely mentioned (apologies) and yet they too had such an exceptional first month of the new campaign. I have been particularly impressed with Elodie Godin who has worked tirelessly in the paint and even though she is a French national team player, I always feel she is something of an unsung hero for Schio. Multi-skilled, she has a great eye for a pass and is still the only player to come up with five blocked shots in a single game this season.
|Belinda Snell was on song with her long-range shooting for CCC Polkowice against Novi Zagreb
It seemed that this week's action witnessed some incredible and quite sudden bursts of outstanding three-point shooting - or was it just me? I wasn't specifically watching Belinda Snell light it up for CCC Polkowice, but was taken aback when out of absolutely nowhere, she twice hit back-to-back triples at the start of the final quarter to take the game away from Novi Zagreb.
At almost exactly the same time on a court in Hungary, Jelena Milovanovic caught fire from downtown in the first half for UE Sopron and made a spectacular five-of-six from long range before the half-time buzzer had sounded!
Good Angels Kosice are the only team along with CCC Polkowice to claim 20 offensive rebounds in a game - something which made a big difference in their super win this week against Famila Schio. And, it doesn't stop there, since they also found 15 steals for the second time this season to equal their own record which they share with Galatasaray.
Plenette Pierson starred for Good Angels Kosice during Week Five and became the only player along with Sancho Lyttle of Galatasaray to come up with six steals in a game this season - only 24 hours later, they were both surpassed by Amaya Valdemoro who became the first to register a stellar seven steals as she rolled back the years with a vibrant showing for Tarsus in a loss at Gyor.
Elsewhere, the contest between UE Sopron and Municipal Targoviste was a shoot-out...only it came from the free-throw line, where both teams found themselves on a regular basis and especially the Romanian visitors. They smashed the season-high for attempted free-throws with 47 and impressively, Gabriella Marginean sunk a chart-topping 15-from-15 to help seal the win.
Fenerbahce meanwhile was on fire in France this week against Arras. So much so, they shot the best field goal percentage of the season with a terrific 62.5%.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The organizer of a New Year's Eve Possum Drop in western North Carolina kept folks guessing on whether he used a live specimen to ring in 2013.
Country store owner Clay Logan lowered an opaque padlocked box wrapped with photos of opossums at the stroke of midnight, not revealing what was inside.
"To be, or not to be?" Logan said, quoting the famous line from Shakespeare's Hamlet. "That is the question."
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals filed suit earlier this year against the state Wildlife Resources Commission, which had for years issued Logan a permit to trap a wild opossum.
N.C. Administrative Law Judge Fred Morrison ruled in November that it is improper for the state to issue such a permit, a decision that is expected to be appealed.
Logan's annual celebration draws thousands to tiny Brasstown, where in past years a live opossum was hoisted high in a see-through box adorned with tinsel before being gently lowered at midnight. The animals were released back into the woods after the event.
A lawyer for PETA suggested in court that it is cruel and traumatic to expose a typically shy, nocturnal marsupial to big crowds, loud music and fireworks. Supporters of the tradition say the captured opossums are well feed and cared for, far better off than the flattened carcasses routinely spotted on local roadsides.
Surrounded by mountains, Brasstown is located in the far western tip of North Carolina, a short drive from the state's lines with Tennessee and Georgia.
Logan suggested last week he might use road kill or a stuffed animal Tuesday night, but he also hinted he might defy the court's order. Though is unclear whether he would have faced real legal jeopardy for using a live opossum, Logan has recently been soliciting donations for a defense fund on a website.
In an interview with WLOS-TV (http://bit.ly/TEuKTO ) shortly after midnight, Logan said what is important is that the holiday revealers had a good time, especially the children.
"You gotta have faith," Logan said. "It don't really matter what's in the box. Nobody knows what's in the box. And they had just as much fun, didn't they?"
Unclear whether live marsupial used at Possum Drop

To make Rudolph's nose I used a mini circle cutter on red bell pepper. His eyes are Enjoy Life Foods mini chocolate chips. To make the antlers I melted a handful of chocolate chips in a bag and piped out the design by hand. It would be easier and faster to just stick some pretzels on top for the antlers, so we'll do that next time :) We added some cucumber holly leaves surrounding the plate.
In the upper left compartment Eliana had a Red-Nosed cheese ball (babybel cheese)
In the upper right compartment Eliana had cucumber holly leaves on top of cucumber scraps and sliced green bell pepper. The holly berries, aka red noses, are also red bell peppers.
This bento was super simple to make and Eliana asked for more Rudolph lunches! :) I was sick to my stomach yesterday, but today I am feeling much better so she will be getting another Rudolph today too :)
