Tina Wilson-Cohen is calm, encouraging, and confident, especially when she's teaching kids how to fire guns.
Today, the Josoeitz family came in for a lesson with her over their spring break.
"I think it's important to know how to use firearms for your own safety and to teach discipline," says Ken Josoeitz, standing with his kids Hannah and Ethan.
Most surprising to Ken, though, was that his wife Sindy would want to join.
"I said, 'Sure, I'll go with you,'" she says.
More and more of Wilson-Cohen's clients are women and families, and the surge in sales to this cohort suits her style just fine. She offers black and pink targets.
"Pink...has a calming, soothing effect. Gun ranges are intimidating, especially for women."
Nearly 47 percent more women are shooting today than a decade ago, according to the National Sporting Goods Association, and a Gallup poll last year found 23 percent of American women now own at least one gun. Several retailers hold "Ladies Nights," and enrollment in one women's only conceal-carry class at the Red Castle Gun Club in Tulsa, Okla., is up 400 percent, according to published reports.
"There's more safety awareness out there now for women, and there's also more firearm training available to women that hasn't been before," says Wilson-Cohen.
And the gun industry is responding to that.
"We see the pink and the purple grips on the guns and it's really there as a marketing tool to go ahead and draw more women in...they're not stupid, hence the pink targets," she adds.
Women are certainly juicing the numbers, but other factors are pushing sales higher. A record 16.4 million firearm background checks were conducted in the U.S. last year, up from 14.4 million in 2010. A weak economy and fear of President Obama pushing for gun control in a potential second term have weapons sales soaring.
"It's booming," says Jessica Goode, who sells guns at Sharp Shooters in Lorton, Va. "The weapons are flying off the shelves. We can't keep them in stock. It's the economy. People are feeling unsafe nowadays, they want protection."
That means big profit for gun makers like Smith and Wesson , Sturm, Ruger and hunting superstore Cabela's . Stocks of the companies are surging, and orders are off the charts, leading Sturm, Ruger to halt new orders, as they try to meet the demand.

All-round performance pleases Martinez
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez believes his side are better equipped than last season to pull off another relegation escape.
The Latics have become the Premier League's Houdini act under Martinez and they took a significant stride towards safety following a 3-0 win at fellow strugglers Reading. It was a first league win of 2013 for Wigan and, more importantly, lifted them above Reading and out of the drop zone for the first time this year.
"We are disappointed with the points tally that we have got. We need to get more points on a consistent basis," Martinez said. "We came into a game which is a massive, massive relegation battle I thought we were composed and able to enjoy our football."
Arouna Kone's quickfire double at the end of the first half gave them an advantage they quickly made decisive after the break when Maynor Figueroa combined with Franco Di Santo for the defender to net a rare goal.
Reading's afternoon quickly deteriorated and when Pavel Pogrebnyak saw red on 55 minutes the visitors were already banking a win to inspire belief they are again on course to beat the drop.
Martinez added: "We limited Reading to no shots on goal in the game and that is a real compliment. The quality of our attacking play was also a real difference.
"We've been showing that this season but we've never had that clinical way of defending and keeping a clean sheet. That's why I am so pleased with the performance."
Wigan defied the odds to stay up last season when they won five of their last six games - including successes over Arsenal and Manchester United. The scale of those heroics are unlikely to be required again this time around, and in any case Martinez believes his team are better prepared to tackle a relegation scrap.
"I think we've played much better than last season," he said. "I think we've been very consistent in terms of performances. We've improved in every department from being able to keep clean sheets and defend well.
"In football you are as good as your results and unfortunately we haven't been able to represent our performances with results. Probably that's why I am so pleased. We defended really well and we stopped them at source."

Burkhead, Team Jack Members Smiling Everywhere
Follow Randy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/RandyYorkNsider
The first five words in the fifth neurosurgery update from the Hoffman family delivered encouraging news for Team Jack fans across the country and around the world: "We are smiling in Boston," Andy Hoffman wrote on the Jack Hoffman CaringBridge website that chronicles the 6-year-old Nebraskan who underwent a second surgery for brain cancer Monday at Boston Children's Hospital.
Jack Hoffman has a relationship with Husker running back Rex Burkhead, and ABC-TV commentators Sean McDonough, Matt Millen and Jeannine Edwards highlighted that bond Saturday night while officials reviewed whether Burkhead's 17-yard touchdown run would hold up in the fourth quarter of Nebraska's 34-27 nationally-televised win over Ohio State.
During the delay for that confirmed review, McDonough introduced the story, saying: "Fans here love Rex Burkhead, and what's not to like? Terrific young man. Good student. Well respected. Jeannine Edwards will tell us a story about a relationship he's formed with a 6-year-old boy who's battling cancer."
Edwards talked about the "Team Jack - Pray" bracelet Burkhead has worn in three straight wins, and Millen finished with this: "Hey Jack, you picked a good guy to watch, and we'll be saying a little prayer for you." McDonough said Burkhead told him that he intended to call Jack whenever possible after Monday's surgery.
Stage is Set for the Victory of Life
Andy Hoffman reported on Jack's Journal site that the "neurosurgeon is very happy with the result. She states that 90+ percent of the tumor was removed! The seizure foci are all gone so hopefully Jack won't have any more 'episodes'. Dr. G feels 'very good' about Jack's long-term prognosis. Jack will still be subject to serial scanning and possibly future treatment, but the stage is set for the victory of life."
Groggy and sleepy from the anesthesia, Jack is stable. "He has good vitals, passes basic neurological testing, knows everyone's name, has told us that he loves us, and can respond to demands," his father said. "He appears neurologically sound. We pray that his physical functions will all be intact as well. We have no reason to believe they won't be."
Plans called for Jack to move out of ICU Tuesday morning, and all signs continue to be encouraging. Andy had another encouraging an update after Jack had "a great night". His dad said he was "quite chatty" when he woke up at 4 a.m. and even briefly played his iPad, finding an old friend, "Tap Zoo", his favorite app. Andy said his son "had been begging" to have his catheter removed since 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, and Tuesday morning, that wish was granted. "He's still quite sleepy and in a lot of pain," his father said, "but overall, he's doing fantastic."
Jack's mom and dad continue to be "amazed and overwhelmed by all of Jack's prayer warriors. We do not have the words in our vocabulary to describe our appreciation to everyone that has bent over backwardsto Pray for Jack," Andy said. "We believe in the power of prayer. We have seen it work first-hand on yet another occasion. Jack's prayer team is the best in the world. Thank you!"

Voices from Husker Nation
What a wonderful story! As a mother of a son who survived Leukemia, I know what the Hoffman family is going through. When events happen that allow the family to forget the illness and be a "normal" family, even if only for a few hours, those moments and events are priceless. And to have a person like Rex keep the relationship going is even more admirable. He is truly a "hero" on and off the field. My prayers are with the Hoffman family as they go through this difficult time. I pray for Jack and that God guides the medical teams in their treatment of Jack. And I pray for Rex Burkhead! What a gift! Betsy Elder, Paxton, Nebraska
Great article on Jack Hoffman and Rex Burkhead. Rex sure seems to be as good as it gets when it comes to college athletes. Very fine young man. I was at the game on Saturday night with my son (a student at Northwestern in Chicago). First half couldn't have been worse, and the second half couldn't have been better. Have read and enjoyed your Husker material for years. Mick Higley, Denver, Colorado
I can't say enough about you bringing this young man's story to light and the connection with Rex Burkhead, our CLASS ONE Husker! This is a great story, and I, too, will be praying for Jack and his family. Rex is obviously the perfect role model for young people, and I'm proud that he's a Husker! Thanks again! Ron Conrad, Husker fan
I have a 4-year-old daughter who is in perfect health. Thank God. I don't know if I could handle anything bad happening to her. I just hope everything turns out great for this little boy. As for Burkhead, he could fumble the next 20 times he carries the ball, but he still would be considered a hero in my book. What a great role model for Jack to have. Once again, my prayers are with you Jack. Go Big Red. Joseph Anderson, Omaha, Nebraska
Jack's situation proves that there are more important things to be discussing and concerned about than "reporting" and press conferences. Victor Lee, Albion, Nebraska
Thanks for the outstanding articles! I work for Jack's dad, Andy, at Krotter Hoffman Law Firm in Atkinson. You simply cannot believe the inspiration Rex has instilled in the Hoffman family's life , as well as ours! Keep up the great work! Go Huskers, Team Jack and Team Rex!!! Barb Ohde, Atkinson, Nebraska
Thank you for sharing the beautiful story about Team Jack and Rex Burkhead. Please keep us all informed, as much as the family will allow on Jack's prognosis. Linda Handke, Lincoln, Nebraska Editor's note: The family encourages all who are interested to follow Jack's progress on his personal CaringBridge website, where his father is writing daily updates.
What a great story. Would love to join an official prayer team and will keep him in our thoughts and prayers. Todd Cleaver, Phoenix, Arizona
The power of prayer is amazing. Thank heavens for people like Rex Burkhead who care. Steve Lauver, Spirit Lake, Iowa
Wow. This is what life is all about. Love Husker football. However, there are more important things out there. Go Jack Go!!! Doug Peterson, Denver, Colorado
I just wanted to tell how much I enjoy your articles on the N-Sider Blog and thanks for the update on little Jack. Continue the great work, and I look forward to whatever is next on your blog. Mike'l Severe, Omaha, Nebraska

It was a treacherous morning on local freeways Thursday morning, with one driver killed in a crash on the 134 Freeway in Toluca Lake and a big rig that jackknifed, at one point closing all lanes of the 5 Freeway in Glendale.
In the westbound 134 Freeway crash, one person was killed and traffic was backed up for miles.At least two vehicles were involved in the crash at Cahuenga Boulevard. The collision, which was reported to the Los Angeles Fire Department around 4:30 a.m., closed several westbound lanes.
Two other people suffered minor injuries in the crash, officials said.
Earlier in the morning, authorities said a semi-truck was traveling north on the 5 Freeway in Glendale when it hit the center divider about 2:21 a.m. and jackknifed, blocking the northbound lanes and dumping debris across the southbound lanes.
Officials told KABC-TV that about 20 drivers got flat tires or other damage to their cars, but no injuries were reported.
"I have three flat tires. I have front and back bumpers, they're broken. I don't know what happened under the car, so I got to check it out tomorrow," driver Martik Sargysan told the television station.
The California Highway Patrol reopened the southbound lanes just after 6:30 a.m., but the northbound traffic continued to be diverted until about 8 a.m.
Officials told L.A. Times it was unclear whether the rain had anything to do with the accident.
The Los Angeles Times contributed to this report.

The imprint we make on social media often allows a window into our thoughts.
And the late Jerry Brown recently wrote on Facebook about the prospect of becoming a father, and wanting to live a slower life.
In a post dated Nov. 29, Brown wrote about a life away from the spotlight.
"Sometimes when I actually get a chance to get away from football I think of how bad I want a family (wife, children) and how the fast life isn't as fun as it use to be after living it for so long," he wrote.
He also mentioned "my lil one coming soon," adding a layer to the avoidable tragedy that unfolded this morning on a Dallas highway.

You are statically assigning an IP number in your "free" range to a particular host with a KNOWN ethernet number below. I don't know what dhcpd would do in that case -- something sensible one would hope but then, maybe not. The range statement is really there so you can dynamically allocate addresses from the range to hosts you may never have seen before that you don't care to ever address by name (as they might well get a different IP number on the next boot). DHCP servers run by ISP's not infrequently use the range feature to conserve IP numbers -- they only need enough to cover the greatest number of connections they are likely to have at any one time, not one IP number per host that might ever connect. Departments might use it to give IP numbers to laptops brought in by visitors (with the extra benefit that they can assign a subnet block that isn't "trusted" by the usual department servers and/or is firewalled from the outside by an ip-forwarding/masquerading host). You want "only" static IP's in your cluster, as you'd like nodo1 to be the same machine and IP address every time. Be a bit careful about your use of domain names. As it happens, I don't find cluster.org registered yet (amazingly enough!) but it is pretty easy to pick one that does exist in nameservice in the outside world. In that case you'll run a serious risk of routing or name resolution problems depending on things like the search order you use in /etc/nsswitch.conf. Even my previous example of rgb.private.net is a bit risky. You should run a nameserver (cache only is fine) on your 192.168.1.1 server, presuming it lives on an external network and you care to resolve global names. Similarly you may want: option routers 192.168.1.1; if you want internal hosts to be able to get out through your (presumed gateway) server. Finally, if you want nodo1 to come up knowing its own name without hardwiring it in on the node itself, add option host-name nodo1; to its definition. I admit that I do tend to lay out my dhcpd.conf a bit differently than you have it below but I don't think that the differences are particularly significant, and you have a copy of the one I use anyway if you want to play with the pieces. You should find a log trace of dhcpd's activities in /var/log/messages, which should help with any further debugging. On your nodo1 host, make sure that: cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes and cat /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=nodo1 and that in /etc/modules.conf there is something like: cat /etc/modules.conf alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 tulip (or instead of tulip, whatever your network module is). If you then boot your e.g. RH client it SHOULD just come up, automatically try to start the network on device eth0 using dhcp as its protocol for obtaining and IP number, ask the dhcp server for an address and a route, and just "work" when they come back. Hope this helps. rgb > server-name "server.cluster.org" > > subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 > { > range 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.10 #my client has the ip > 192.168.1.2 > #and my > server the static ip 192.168.1.1 > option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; > option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; > option domain-name-server 192.168.1.1; > option domain-name "cluster.org"; > > host nodo1.cluster.org > { > hardware ethernet 00:60:97:a1:ef:e0; #here is the address of the > client's card > fixed-address 192.168.1.2; > } > } > > And finally some files on my server. > > NETWORK > ------------------------------------------ > networking = yes > hostname =server.cluster.org > gatewaydev = eth0 > gatewaye= > ------------------------------------------ > > HOSTS ( In my server and in the client I have the same on this file ) > ------------------------------------------ > 127.0.0.1 localhost > 192.168.1.1 server.cluster.org > 192.168.1.2 nodo1.cluster.org > > > Ok thats the information, I am a little confuse, could you help me please > =).

Zipcars already live on campus, and your student can drive them by the hour or day. (Really!) Let them run errands, go to a job interview, even visit home for a weekend.
the "take-a-car-to-college" debate ends here.
- Zipcars are new. Most retire at the ripe old age of two.
- Zipcars are pampered. They're cleaned and maintained regularly. And they get 24/7 roadside assistance.
- Zipcars are smart. Students who drive Zipcars instead of buying their own cars save hundreds every month.
See the numbers:
Students just reserve online, let themselves in with their Zipcard and drive! See how it works.

On the transition as new hitting coach:
The transition has been really good. The coaching staff has made it a lot easier on me than what it could be. It's definitely been a whirlwind.
On what he knew about Ole Miss before taking the job:
I definitely had a lot of respect from afar for Coach Bianco and his program. I knew more than I thought I would because Ben Fleming, the strength and conditioning coach, was with me at Kansas State and we overlapped by a year for the 2013 season, and I kept in touch with him, so it was nice to know him through the process. Mike Bianco's work speaks for itself with 14 years and what he's done, continuing to build and getting to Omaha last year. I got to see them play quite a few times. They were a lot of fun to watch and played with a blue-collar mentality and a chip on their shoulder, and that's something I want to be a part of.
On what he looks to add and what he brings from his previous coaching experience:
It's a good fit because I pride myself on the mentality part of coaching. I want a bunch of guys who are going to blue collar and play with a chip on their shoulder, really play the game and outwork their opponent. I pride myself on that as a coach, and I hope our offense is going to pride themselves on that as well. I bring that dynamic to the staff. We have a bunch of good players and a bunch of good recruits, and I feel really good about where the program is right now.
On the reception on the road from fans and recruits:
Things are different when you put the script "Ole Miss" across your chest. That's no disrespect to Kansas State. I was in Atlanta last week recruiting, and I had to call back to the office and ask Andrew Case, our director of operations, what Hotty Toddy meant because I got six or eight Hotty Toddy's the first day I had the shirt on. To be honest, I wasn't sure what they were saying, if they cursing at me, or they were happy, or what they were, so I had to get an education on that. The response has been unbelievable. It's been overwhelmingly positive. People have been very supportive around town for the little bit that I have been here. It's really exciting to get going. It's going to be a great experience for my wife and I.
On summer workouts and talking to current players about the upcoming season:
I have talked to them quite a bit. I have been able to reach out to quite a few of our position players, especially the older guys. The coaching staff and the returning players are really excited about hopefully taking that next step. We want to be the last team standing in Omaha, not one of the last four teams. That's our goal, and that's the goal for a lot of teams, especially in this league. It's a dogfight, and you can't get to that goal without doing your job in the summer and fall. It's an exciting time, and the confidence is at an all-time high, probably, for his program, and that can be attributed to last year's team.
On what's needed to take Ole Miss to the next level:
We're on the right track. We're in a very good spot. It goes back to recruiting and getting the most talented players that you can find. But more so than the talent part of it, the best teams are the teams who can match the talent part of it with guys who are willing to give up a little something of themselves for something greater. That's why it was fun to watch Ole Miss baseball from afar because you could tell it was team and those guys loved playing with one another. If we can keep on that track, the sky is the limit, not only for this team this year, but the program and the future.
On being a former catcher on staff with two other former catchers in Mike Bianco and Carl Lafferty:
When you're a catcher, you're at the only position on the field, where everyone is looking to you. That's important. You're supposed to be a leader. I was not an elite baseball player. I was a pretty average player, and that's OK. One of the good things about that was I had to work pretty hard for everything I got and that helped me in my coaching career. They would say the same thing about being a former catcher. If you look around at the managers in the major leagues and minor leagues, there are a lot of former catchers because of the responsibility placed on that position.
On his younger brother, Jeff, and what he has learned from him and his major league baseball experience:
He's my best friend and we talk a couple of times a week. He had a whole different experience than what I did as an average player. He saw the other end of the spectrum. We talk often and he has a perspective of the Stephen Head's and Seth Smith's of the world, those types of people. He had an unbelievable college career, and he was an All-American and a high draft pick, and he was fortunate and blessed enough to play in the big leagues for parts of four seasons. He provides some valuable advice from his experience, but more than anything, he's really excited that I have this opportunity.
On his relationship and previous work experience with Ben Fleming:
It's important for me in the transition because I can bounce a lot off of him. The one year we worked together, we had a pretty special year at Kansas State and made it to the Super Regional and had the best year in school history. I trust his opinion. He's relentless in the way he works with kids. Coach Bianco really values him and what he does. It's good to have some familiarity with someone in this program getting here. I can't help but have a good relationship with Carl Lafferty. It didn't take long to build that because we were the two guys out on the road and recruiting.
On recruiting and how Carl Lafferty has helped in the transition:
It's a tough transition when you go from one part of the country to another part of the country and trying to land on your feet and hit the ground running. What's made it an easy transition is Carl. He's very gifted on the road. He has an unbelievable ability to know players and know everything about them. He knows who they are, who they play for, and where they're from. When you have someone as gifted as Carl is from a recruiting standpoint, it makes the transition a lot easier, that's for sure.
On the plan for the rest of the summer and preparation for fall practice:
The important thing, as we move forward before school starts, is to build relationships with players. That's what I believe most of coaching is. If I can start to build relationships and get these guys to trust me and what I'm all about and help them understand that I'm willing to work with them, everything will take off from there. I'm confident that will happen. Outside of recruiting, which is the life blood of the program, I want to build relationships with our current players and hit the ground running once school starts in late August.
On what fans should expect from the offense:
We want be aggressive in a lot of different ways. It can be driving the ball out of the yard, driving the ball in the gaps and stealing bases. I want to be really sound in every aspect of our offense, whether that's the ability to hit and run, steal bases and get down bunts. We want to hit the ball in the gaps because if you can do that, balls will go out of the yard and you will be able to do some things offensively. We're going to be uptempo and really aggressive and take the fight to the other team from the offensive side of things.
On the new ball and how it changes the game:
I don't know if it will change my philosophy as a hitting coach, but it will change the game. I trust what the NCAA is doing and there needed to be a change. I think the new ball is going to make a difference. Hopefully, in our ballpark, it makes the difference with a lot more beer showers for our team.

Drive Me to the Moon
Thanks to advanced electrical wiring developed for space, some racing drivers are now steering sleeker and potentially faster cars in competitions here on Earth.
Sophisticated wiring techniques developed for ESA satellites are now used in Formula One cars, improving their performance and weight.
"We identified a need in the space marketplace, where wiring needs to be robust, flexible, lightweight and able to withstand large forces," said Terry McManus, project manager for UK-based Tekdata's Cryoconnect space division.
In space, Cryoconnect began using materials that become superconductive at the low temperatures in space. They also developed a method of weaving wires together in a flat, loom-like configuration. These flat bundles of electrical wiring are flying on a number of space platforms.
The company developed the wiring 'harness' for one of ESA's Herschel instruments, and a harness was produced for ESA's Planck High Frequency Instrument to work at only a tenth of a degree above absolute zero to survey the remnant light from the Big Bang.
Cryoconnect is also working on the harnesses for the three instruments on the international James Webb Space Telescope, the successor to the Hubble and Spitzer observatories.
These electrical systems required a good deal of innovation. "The bit we've been able to bring to the equation is selection of exotic materials as well as the weave methodology," said Terry.
Space weaving lands on Earth
Three years ago, Tekdata decided to take what they had learned in space and use it in autosport.
"Many of our space solutions are far in advance of the current technology available in the motorsport marketplace. Race teams have relied on basically the same technologies for many years," said Tekdata's business development manager Mike Tickner, whose background is in designing and building wiring systems for Formula One cars.
"We're transferring best practices from space to auto," said Terry, but, unlike in space, Tekdata still uses traditional copper wiring for cars.
What was changed is the way the wires are bundled. Typically, electrical wires are bundled in a round harness but Tekdata has created flat, woven harnesses like those in satellites.
For racing cars, they can more easily be fitted beneath a seat, under the skin or in the bodywork of a car. "You can lay it out flat, it's flexible and fits in places a traditional cable won't," said Mike.
This means that a car's aerodynamics are no longer compromised by the placement of the wiring. This can lead to better performance and lower weight, crucial in racing. Elements like the gearbox can also be connected differently, maximising space and potentially saving more weight.
European space programmes spin-off potential
"Research and development for European space programmes often produces novel leading-edge technological solutions when applied to systems back here on Earth," said Matthew Edwards from STFC Innovations, the UK broker for ESA's Technology Transfer Programme Office.
"A traditional case on how best to fit electrical cables into a car has here been resolved by adapting a very special spacecraft cabling technology."
Now that the sporty Ginetta G60 road car uses Tekdata's flat-woven electrical wiring, the fit is better in the highly complex and small vehicle.
"The amount of wiring in cars is increasing year by year," said Mike, as autos become increasingly sophisticated with more electrical sensors and control systems.
Electric cars are a strong potential market for this space technology, because "The amount of electrical technology in electric cars is significantly more than in standard ones," noted Terry.
While flat weave wiring for racing cars can make them lighter and more aerodynamics, the main advantage for electric cars would be to fit more wiring into less space.
For now, these wiring systems from space have just started to show their mettle here on Earth.

With so many tickets sold in advance of the release of "The Hunger Games," reviews may be beside the point. With millions of readers already drawn into Suzanne Collins' trilogy about the post-apocalyptic world of Panem, the way has been paved for a successful release. Add to that a huge publicity storm -- I think the star, Jennifer Lawrence, has been on the cover of every magazine except "Muscle and Fitness" -- and you're looking at record ticket sales.
Still, movie critics insist on weighing in. They have to earn their pay, after all, by dropping references to Tarantino and the score. So here are excerpts from some reviews:

Aunt Ura
This portrait was among several inherited by my husband from the possessions of his great-grandmother Susan (Leach) Sherman. It's quite a large portrait measuring 20″tall by 16″wide and you quickly see that the portrait has been touched up to a considerable extent, in fact the clothing looks like it's been painted on. In comparing her hair style style to picture samples from various eras, it appears that this portrait could have been taken in the 1860's although that's far from clear. And her dress with a little white ruffle and bow at the neck compares with dresses from the 1860's and 1870's as does the smooth (vs puffed) sleeve. This dignified and stately lady is only identified (on the back of the portrait) as "Your Father(s) Aunt Ura." Unfortunately we don't know to whom Susan Sherman was addressing that statement. Since the portrait was in with very similarly styled portraits of Solomon Leach and Susan (Higley) Leach, Charles Leach, and Milton Higley, it's probable that Aunt Ura was connected to either the Higley or Leach lines. But just what the relationship is we have no idea. Yes, Aunt Ura, we'd really like to know who you are!

If you suffer from debilitating shoulder pain, you know how much it can limit your movement and ability to perform every day activities such as reaching into a cupboard, dressing, and bathing. Your shoulder may make grinding or grating noises when you move it. It might even catch or lock up. Pain in your shoulder could become severe enough to keep you awake at night.
In general, severe shoulder damage that results from arthritis or injury is initially treated with rest, exercise and medications for pain. Self-help measures, such as applying moist heat or using an ice pack after strenuous exercise, may ease mild pain. In some cases, physical therapy may be helpful. And for some patients, cortisone injections into the shoulder joint may provide temporary pain relief. When these measures no longer help, you may begin to consider having shoulder replacement surgery.
To help determine if you are a candidate for shoulder replacement surgery, your physician may ask you questions about your shoulder pain and how it affects movement and everyday activities. Your doctor may also perform a physical examination to assess your range of motion, the strength and stability of your shoulder, and any tenderness or swelling. Diagnostic tests, to determine the location and severity of damage in your shoulder joint, may include, x-rays, MRIs or CT scans. Source: American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons
With the Joint Replacement Program at Baptist, patient education and support begins at the time the surgery is scheduled, and continues through the hospital stay and the recovery process at home. The patient's family members and primary care physician-or hospitalist on staff at Baptist-are involved in the patient's care from preadmission through discharge. This constant communication contributes to quality care and good patient experiences, which are our priority at Baptist.
The first step in having shoulder replacement surgery at Baptist is being seen by one of our physicians. All orthopedic surgeons on staff at Baptist are board certified, and many have subspecialty training within the field of orthopedic surgery. Each year, our physicians perform more than 1,100 joint replacement surgeries.
The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint consisting of three bones: three main parts: the upper arm bone (humerus), shoulder blade (scapula) and collarbone (clavicle). The ball at the top end of the arm bone fits into the small socket of the shoulder blade to form the shoulder joint.
The smooth, durable surface of articular cartilage covers the head of the arm bone and the socket area of the scapula. This cartilage cushions the joint and allows ease of movement. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that attach your upper arm to your shoulder blade, and allow you to lift your arm, reach overhead, and make circular movements such as throwing or swimming.
During a total shoulder replacement, an orthopedic surgeon removes only the damaged cartilage and bone of the shoulder joint, and then positions a new prosthetic implant to restore the shoulder's normal anatomy. The procedure takes about two hours to perform.
A standard total replacement consists of two parts: a highly polished metal ball attached to a stem that is inserted into the arm bone; and a plastic socket that is implanted into the socket. In some cases, surgical cement may be used to secure the artificial joint to the natural bone. Depending on the condition of the shoulder, your surgeon may replace only the ball if the socket is normal. Patients with intact rotator cuff tendons are generally good candidates for conventional total shoulder replacement.
Patients who do not have a functioning rotator cuff are not candidates for traditional shoulder replacement surgery. For these patients, the reverse shoulder replacement surgery may be an option. This implant reverses the normal anatomy of the shoulder joint--the socket and metal ball are switched.
In a standard shoulder replacement, the socket of the scapula is resurfaced and the ball at the top of the arm bone is replaced. In the reverse shoulder procedure, the ball is placed on the scapula, and the socket is created at the top of the arm bone. This allows the deltoid muscle, instead of the nonfunctioning rotator cuff, to lift the arm.
The reverse procedure may also be an option for patients who had previous shoulder replacement surgery that failed. A standard shoulder replacement can fail for many reasons, which usually results in implant loosening and significant bone loss of the scapula and arm bone. Because of this bone loss, the standard shoulder replacement usually cannot be repeated.
Baptist's Joint Replacement program focuses on pain management, recovery and an early return to normal activities. To help control pain after surgery, patients receive a nerve block that provides pain relief for 12 hours post surgery. This prevents the patient from experiencing most of the acute post operative pain. For the first 24 hours following surgery, most patients are on pain medication delivered via IV. After that point, if possible, most patients are transitioned to oral pain medications. In all cases, pain medication is individualized for each patient to minimize discomfort.
Although they are very rare, complications may include infection, bleeding, instability, tearing of the rotator cuff, fracture and loosening of the implant. The most common complication, when it occurs, is instability. Complication rates are higher in patients who are being revised from a failed standard total replacement to a reverse.
Most patients can resume normal light activities within six weeks following surgery. It takes about 12 to 16 weeks after surgery to resume all activities with no restrictions. It's common to experience some discomfort with activity and at night for several weeks. At Baptist, recovery begins right away with group inpatient rehab, held on the Joint Replacement Unit. Therapists get patients up and moving as soon as possible to restore movement and function.
After discharge from the hospital, your recovery will continue under the guidance of therapists in our outpatient physical therapy program. Baptist has locations for outpatient therapy throughout the metro Jackson area, so you can get care in a facility that is most convenient to you.
If you would like to have shoulder replacement surgery at Baptist, you can use our online form to request a referral to one of our physicians.

text: Actually I agree with Mel, we could obtain extremely useful first-hand accounts which don't involve asking anyone what they like or not, but simply watching what they do. To discover how Sugar is not serving its users, we need lots of raw field data. And to make good use of it, we need that data to be structured. This is the bread and butter of consumer market surveys... just needs to be adjusted due to the young age and cultural differences of the users. Most kids I know get wise as every year passes and will try to answer what is expected... so the trick is to talk about stuff that interests them, and learn while they chat about it. Linguists are constantly faced with a similar problem: if you tell anyone they are to be interviewed by a linguist, s/he will put on the most educated accent they can muster; if you ask in a friendly way what their favorite football team is, or what kind of music they like, or about an important event in their life, you are guaranteed to get authentic linguistic results. A visiting OLPCorps student could tell us: * How do kids (& teachers) start their day with the XO - bright and early, or at a set time every day? * What Activities do they start with? * Which Activities do they spend time on in class? in free time? What do they seem to like the most / the least? * When and where are the XOs charging (=Sugar downtime)? * Are the XOs always / sometimes / never, open and in use outside of class time? * Is anyone left out (i.e. without an XO due to breakage)? * Are kids helping each other when they get stuck on something? * Are the XOs used in the evening? Questions to kids can reveal very interesting information, without asking for detailed criticism: * "Show me some photos you took or drawings you made" -> how do they search and retrieve them? * "When did you take that photo?" -> Are they concerned about having enough space for photos, do they delete old ones if they run low? Do they get the age from the Journal, or just remembering? * "Do you have brothers and sisters? Do you let them look at your computer?" -> Kids will never hesitate to talk about siblings and the answer will reveal: Do the parents look at the computer too? We can spend a minimum of time and yet harvest incredible information by making reporting easy: * standardize a little list like this * ask OLPCorps volunteers to look at the list and print it out before departure, perhaps taking notes on the printed page during the short stay, but never in front of the kids * ask them to submit the little report upon return (or just before) through a friendly webform. Thank them! I am sure OLPC will already be doing something similar. Although the help these sickly students might bring to the sites might be minimal, the help they can bring to the OLPC and Sugar projects as "eyes and ears" using homogenized reporting, leading to usable consolidated results, is a golden opportunity I think to better know how Sugar is being used across cultures. thanks Sean Marketing Coordinator On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 11:21 AM, Bryan Berry <bryan at olenepal.org> wrote: > I highly doubt that OLPCorps personnel will be useful to Sugarlabs. > Trying to work w/ them will just be a time sink. > > 1.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A new spate of gun violence in Chicago left four men dead, Chicago police said on Saturday, less than two days after a shooting spree at a park in the city wounded 13 people, including a 3-year-boy.
The latest shootings came as America's third most populous city struggled to respond to a rash of street violence that killed seven people in less than 30 hours and wounded over a dozen more, according to local authorities.
The four gun deaths occurred in incidents between 6:15 p.m. on Friday and 3 a.m. on Saturday, Chicago Police Department spokesman Mike Sullivan said.
The victims ranged in age from 18 to 37. Three of the attacks occurred in the city's mostly poor South Side, where Thursday night's shootings by suspected gang members carrying an assault weapon took place.
Separately, a teenage boy was found shot and killed in the Park Manor neighborhood on Friday afternoon, police said.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office also reported two fatalities from gunshots at 2 a.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Friday, although details on those shootings were not available on Saturday.
Chicago has one of the worst homicide rates in the country and more violent crime than other large cities such as New York and Los Angeles. The city's police department had been claiming success in stemming the violence with a strategy of flooding 20 high-crime neighborhoods with officers.
Illinois Governor Pat Quinn said on Saturday he would consider using state law enforcement resources to help curb gun violence in Chicago, although he did not outline a specific strategy.
"I think anyone who saw what happened in Cornell Park the other night was horrified by the violence," Quinn said of Thursday's shootings. "I live on the west side of Chicago. It is an area that has been inflicted with violence, and we've got to protect the people."
Quinn added he would be willing to speak with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel or Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy about bringing in state resources. But a spokeswoman told Reuters on Saturday neither city leader had requested that help.
She noted that Illinois State Police already provided help in some violence-prone neighborhoods from Chicago to East St. Louis. She would not comment on whether the governor would support use of the Illinois National Guard as well.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel returned home from Washington, after canceling meetings there, and spoke at a prayer vigil on Friday night where he urged witnesses to Thursday's park shooting to come forward.
"We cannot allow children in the city of Chicago and we will not allow children in the city of Chicago to have their youthfulness, their optimism, their hope taken from them," he said at the vigil. "That's what gun violence does."
The 3-year-old who was among those wounded at Cornell Square Park on Thursday in the Back of the Yards neighborhood was identified by his family as Deonta Howard, critically wounded when a bullet entered his ear.
The boy's grandmother, 39-year-old Semecha Nunn, said on Friday he was at the park with his mother.
"I know my grandson wasn't the target, he just was in the wrong place at the wrong time," she said.
"But if you have any type of sympathy or a heart, you'll turn yourself in," she added, in a message to the shooters.
Nunn, whose oldest son was shot to death less than a month ago and whose fiancé also was wounded in the park, said the violence had to stop.
"I just buried my oldest son, and then to come home to this, yeah, it's scary," she said. "I don't feel safe. It's just sad."
Police say three gunmen were involved in Thursday's attack, which took place on a warm night after residents had watched a basketball game. No arrests have been made, police said.
None of those shot on Thursday had life-threatening wounds, McCarthy said.
Homicides in Chicago this year are down 21 percent compared with last year - at 305 compared with 389, according to the Chicago Police Department.

On March 27, 1926, Frank (Francis Russell) O'Hara was born in Maryland. He grew up in Massachusetts, and later studied piano at the New England Conservatory in Boston from 1941 to 1944. O'Hara then served in the South Pacific and Japan as a sonarman on the destroyer USS Nicholas during World War II.
Following the war, O'Hara studied at Harvard College, where he majored in music and worked on compositions and was deeply influenced by contemporary music, his first love, as well as visual art. He also wrote poetry at that time and read the work of Arthur Rimbaud, Stéphane Mallarmé, Boris Pasternak, and Vladimir Mayakovsky.
While at Harvard, O'Hara met John Ashbery and soon began publishing poems in the Harvard Advocate. Despite his love for music, O'Hara changed his major and left Harvard in 1950 with a degree in English. He then attended graduate school at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and received his MA in 1951. That autumn, O'Hara moved into an apartment in New York. He was soon employed at the front desk of the Museum of Modern Art and continued to write seriously.
O'Hara's early work was considered both provocative and provoking. In 1952, his first volume of poetry, A City Winter, and Other Poems, attracted favorable attention; his essays on painting and sculpture and his reviews for ArtNews were considered brilliant. O'Hara became one of the most distinguished members of the New York School of poets, which also included Ashbery, James Schuyler, and Kenneth Koch.
O'Hara's association with painters Larry Rivers, Jackson Pollock, and Jasper Johns, also leaders of the New York School, became a source of inspiration for his highly original poetry. He attempted to produce with words the effects these artists had created on canvas. In certain instances, he collaborated with the painters to make "poem-paintings," paintings with word texts.
O'Hara's most original volumes of verse, Meditations in an Emergency (1956) and Lunch Poems (1964), are impromptu lyrics, a jumble of witty talk, journalistic parodies, and surrealist imagery.
O'Hara continued working at the Museum of Modern Art throughout his life, curating exhibitions and writing introductions and catalogs for exhibits and tours. On July 25, 1966, while vacationing on Fire Island, Frank O'Hara was killed in a sand buggy accident. He was forty years old.

What we love…
Great variety of high interest puzzle themes introducing lots of basic and advanced vocabulary.
What we'd love to see…
A choice of lower or upper case for display of vocabulary words.
A unique puzzle and mini-game app that is engaging and meaningful with enormous amount of content for building a rich vocabulary.
Our Rating
PUZZINGO Kids Puzzles (Pro) is more than just a puzzle app. It is an extensive vocabulary app where the subjects are presented through different types of toddler and preschool puzzles. And these are not the average puzzles that you find in other puzzle apps. The puzzles in Puzzingo are both engaging and meaningful while the gameplay is ingenious. I'm totally impressed.
The vocabulary words are grouped according to themes or categories which helps children develop skills in sorting and classifying objects. Besides learning the name and sound of each object, they also learn what goes together. You can help your child to gain more knowledge and develop analytical skills by highlighting the similarities or relationship between the different objects.
Each themed pack of puzzles consists of 7 groups of puzzles focusing on 7 different topics within the theme e.g. the core concepts pack includes puzzles on shapes, colors, numbers, counting, emotions, alphabet and weather. Currently there is a total of 22 puzzle packs included in the app covering core concepts, food, professions, holidays, animals, space, life of toys, bugs, pets, dinosaurs, pirates, princesses & fairies, sports, music, fairy tales, super heroes, cars, trains, airplanes, trucks and candy kingdom. What is important to note is that there is a wide variety of high interest themes for younger children to choose from.
From an educator's perspective, I like that the words introduced in each group help to build a rich vocabulary. Learners can see the print (in upper case) and hear the associated word read aloud when they touch each object puzzle, which in turn helps with labelling and word recognition. It is a great app for use in speech therapy. Besides learning the US English language, learners can also learn the vocabulary in Spanish, UK English, Chinese and Japanese.
While I'm impressed with the enormous amount of content that kids can potentially learn from the app, what I find refreshing is the format of the app's gameplay – how it extends the play from one puzzle game to another meaningfully.
Each pack of puzzles consist of 2 types of puzzles, 1-piece puzzles and layered puzzles. Each 1-piece puzzles are easy to complete but each of these puzzle piece brings players to a more challenging layered puzzle. The layered puzzles show the many parts and layers that make up the object shown on the 1-piece puzzle piece. Players learn the names of these parts as they build the object puzzle piece-by-piece. In some cases, the parts could be items that are associated with the theme. For example, the soccer puzzle game introduces terms like goalie, goal, photographer, camera, signs, cone, players, injured player, medics, forward, midfielder, defender, soccer ball, jersey, cleats and shin guards.
Regardless the total number of puzzle pieces that kids have to put in place in order to complete a puzzle game, the app presents only 2 pieces at any one time so that kids won't get overwhelmed. Another toddler-friendly support comes in the form of prompts that show kids where to place the puzzle piece when they placed the piece incorrectly repeatedly.
Once a puzzle game is completed, players are rewarded with an interactive mini-game that helps them to explore further on the theme. Kids can fly an airplane, conduct a band, dress up a character, score a goal, feed a dinosaur, drive a vehicle, play with the toys and many more activities. The games are varied and deliver so much fun with their cute animations and sound effects that they may just overshadow the puzzles in terms of popularity with kids. Repeat play is guaranteed.
If you have a preschooler at home, you definitely need to get Puzzingo. The free version Puzzingo Puzzles offers 7 sets of puzzles and mini-games and a free daily puzzle from one of the themed puzzle packs that is available for purchase. You can purchase individual puzzle packs or an All-Access Pass. This Pass allows your child to play with more than 150 puzzles and enjoy new content and games through regular updates. The latest update for the 2017 Holidays offers the Trucks Puzzles pack and Toys Puzzles pack which are perfect gifts for the holiday season!
With Puzzingo, completing a puzzle becomes meaningful and purposeful. Preschoolers are exposed to lots of vocabulary words from a wide range of topics while reaping the benefits of completing puzzles like spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination, matching and fine-motor skills. With so much content in a single app, I'm positive that your preschoolers will have many favorite puzzles to keep them busy learning and playing.

LONDON (MarketWatch)—U.K.'s benchmark stock index moved lower on Wednesday, after better-than-expected data for the services sector triggered speculation that a rate hike could come from the Bank of England as soon as this year.
The FTSE 100 index UKX, -0.71% fell 0.3% to close at 6,818.63, for a second straight day in red.
Pulling the index lower, shares of Vodafone Group PLC VOD, -0.92% VOD, -1.17% lost 1.2% after the U.K. telecoms regulator Ofcom revealed proposals to cut what mobile operators can charge consumers to make calls. The new charge control would apply to all operators and bring down calling costs to less than half a penny a minute by April 2017.
Barclays PLC BARC, -1.08% BCS, -1.05% gave up 0.5% after HSBC cut the bank to neutral from overweight. The analysts said Barclays's trading-revenue outlook "is much worse than anticipated".
SABMiller PLC UK:SAB UK:SAB fell 1.2% after Morgan Stanley cut the brewer to equal weight from overweight following the stock's recent outperformance, according to Dow Jones Newswires.
Tesco PLC TSCO, -0.67% TSCDF, -0.47% dropped 1.3% after the supermarkets chain posted a 3.7% drop in same-store sales, excluding petrol, in the first quarter.
The London benchmark started the day in negative territory and nudged lower after a strong reading on the U.K. services sector sparked speculation that a BOE rate hike could come sooner than expected. The CIPS/Markit services purchasing managers index for May fell to 58.6, down from 58.7 in April, but beat analysts' forecast of a 58.2 print. Meanwhile, employment growth in the U.K. services industry strengthened to the fastest rate in 17 years.
Christian Schulz, senior economist at Berenberg, said in a note that even though U.K. services and construction PMIs have fallen from recent peaks, the "speed of the economic recovery remains very impressive."
"Record-low interest rates are no longer necessary, in our view," he said. "The latest data support our call that the first hike will come in November 2014."
The BOE has previously signaled that its first rate rise will come in the spring of 2015.
The pound GBPUSD, +0.1314% pared losses after the data and traded at $1.6746 at the time of the U.K. close, up from as low as $1.6699 ahead of the report.
In other movers in London, shares of Sports Direct International PLC SPD, +0.26% climbed 3.6% after Exane BNP Paribas added the retailer to its key-ideas list.
