On a recent trip to Lang Co Lagoon in Thua Thien Hue Province, an MFF small grant project site, I met Nguyen Xuan Vinh who runs a local seafood restaurant. Right at the start of the project Vinh volunteered to plant two hectares of mangroves. When asked why, he said: "I remember many rare and precious aquatic species in the lagoon when mangroves were abundant. But now the mangroves are almost gone and it's hard to find any such species. If I can bring them back, it will bring a huge profit to my restaurant, and the only way to do that is to plant mangroves. Mangroves also help to purify the water better than any modern machine". Vinh used the internet to teach himself how to plant mangroves and raise fish and crabs under the mangrove canopy.
At the time, however, the fragmented mangroves in Lang Co were not classified as "forest" but as "unused" land. The area was also under the control of the Chan May-Lang Co Economic Zone and any land use change needed to be approved by the zone's management board. And since the board prioritized economic development, it turned down Vinh's plan to plant mangroves.
With funding from MFF, the NGO Center of Community and Research Development (CCRD) worked with local Forest Protection Department (FPD) to survey the mangroves. The survey showed that mangroves had once covered over 100 hectares of the lagoon but since the 1990s had declined sharply: today only nearly 16 hectares remain. FPD concluded that it was necessary to add these mangroves to the list of forest areas requiring proper protection and management, which also made it possible to allocate the mangroves to local people.
As a resident of Loan Ly, one of the two villages that were allocated mangroves, Vinh is now allowed to plant mangroves and gain benefits from them. He raises red snappers (Lutianus erythropterus) and mud crabs (Scylla serrata). He has invested nearly VND600 million in fish and crab seedlings, a dyke to protect the mangroves against floods, and hiring guards. He expects to break even in two years. He can sell 1 kg of red snapper at his restaurant for VND300,000 VND and 1 kg of mud crab for VND150,000.
Vinh is so keen on his fish-crab-mangrove "polyculture" that he's interested in buying seedlings of rare aquatic species to see how they grow in the mangroves. He told us that he used to be a timber trader and now wants to do something to compensate for the damage he once caused. He also said that other fishermen, even oyster culture households, are well aware of the importance of mangroves but often have no alternative to cutting them down.
If Vinh's mangrove polyculture model succeeds, other people will pay attention and start doing the same thing. A lesson from Vinh's story is that only when people see real benefits from nature conservation will they be willing to protect the environment. In other words, planting, protecting, and benefit sharing are all needed for lasting mangrove conservation, a point made by Ho Trong Cau, Vice-Chair of Phu Loc District People's Committee, in his opening speech at the community mangrove planting day in Lang Co on March 26, 2013.

Fast-moving fire roars through Calif. neighborhood, destroying 5 homes and damaging 10 more
FAIRFIELD, Calif. – Officials say a fire that tore through a Northern California neighborhood destroyed five homes and damaged 10 more.
Fairfield Fire Battalion Chief Matt Luckenbach tallied the destruction Wednesday, a day after the blaze.
About 50 people fled after an initially small roadside fire spread in the city about 50 miles northeast of San Francisco shortly before 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Luckenbach says no injuries were reported. The wind-driven fire started in grass near Interstate 80, jumped a creek, skirted a freeway sound wall and raced through the neighborhood, spreading through treetops.
The seven-alarm blaze eventually grew to 40 acres.
Luckenbach says it took nearly 200 firefighters more than two hours to get the fire under control.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

News Release
Joslin Diabetes Center President and CEO Ranch C. Kimball to Step Down
BOSTON – May 29, 2009 – Joslin Diabetes Center, the world's preeminent diabetes research and clinical care organization, announced today that its President and CEO Ranch C. Kimball will step down by the end of August. Kimball has been widely credited with improving the overall health and fiscal stability of the world-renowned organization.
Appointed in February 2007, Kimball, who previously served as Secretary of Economic Development for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, was charged with expanding philanthropic giving to the Joslin, completing the sale of a Joslin-owned real estate parcel, improving Joslin's fiscal stability and raising Joslin's visibility in the community.
"The Board of Trustees and I are pleased that Ranch achieved our strategic goals which, when combined, have put Joslin on solid footing for our future," said Kevin E. Conley, Chairman of the Board of Trustees. "Under Kimball's leadership, philanthropic giving expanded dramatically with record giving in 2008, we completed the sale of a strategic real estate parcel, raising important revenue, Joslin's financial position was solidified, and the Joslin's visibility is significantly enhanced. We are extremely grateful to Ranch for his tremendous work to strengthen this vital institution."
Kimball also led a strategic planning process to identify a long-term vision for the Joslin. That process contributed to Kimball's decision to step down.
"As part of our strategic planning process, it became clear that the next step for the Joslin is to further refine its scientific and medical agenda," said Kimball. "I believe those goals are best achieved by a leader with a different background and experience. I am honored by the opportunity to have contributed to the important work of the Joslin."
Kimball will work with the Board of Trustees through August to support a search for his successor. Trustees and colleagues praised Kimball for his management ability and his commitment to the Center's health care mission.
"Ranch was exactly the President and CEO we needed at the time, and he set the stage for the next phase of the Joslin," said John Brooks, Trustee and Finance Chair of the Center. "His willingness to work alongside the Board while we restructure leadership around our medical and scientific programs is welcome, and we will miss him."
"Ranch did a great job understanding the clinical and scientific issues in diabetes. We'd always see him walking through the halls in Clinic, asking doctors and nurses what was working, what wasn't, and about patient care," said Howard Wolpert, M.D., Director of the Insulin Pump program at Joslin and member of the Board of Trustees. "He brought a level of passion and commitment to our clinical care model for diabetes treatment."
In addition to his service in the Romney administration, Kimball is one of Boston's most respected and well-known leaders. He serves on the boards of the Mass Business Roundtable, and Boston World Partnerships. He is Chair of the Board of Overseers of the Museum of Science, and Vice Chair of the Board of MassPort, where he also chairs the audit and finance committees. He was previously managing partner of private equity firm Kissinger McLarty Capital Group, and a long-time partner at Boston Consulting Group.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A delegation of medical volunteers with the Israeli rescue organization ZAKA have already been in the Philippines for a week identifying and providing aid to the many victims of super-typhoon Haiyan.
The Israeli medics and paramedics have extensive experience in providing disaster relief around the world. In addition to large amount of medical equipment and supplies, the group also took along a large quantity of food.
Israel's national airline, El Al, did its part by flying the team and its equipment over to the Philippines free of charge.
After arriving in the Philippines, the ZAKA team chose one of the harder hit islands and set up its base of operations in a local town that was almost completely destroyed by the typhoon.
Mission commander Matthew Goldstein noted that "there wasn't a single building that wasn't destroyed or severely damaged. The place looks like a ghost town. There is complete chaos and a huge number of casualties."
Members of the ZAKA rescue mission plan to continue working the area for the foreseeable future.
The upcoming issue of Israel Today Magazine will feature a center spread highlighting the work of Israeli rescue teams in the Philippines.

Genetics professionals are health care professionals with specialized degrees and experience in medical genetics and counseling. Genetics professionals include geneticists, genetic counselors and genetics nurses.
Genetic professionals work as members of health care teams providing information and support to individuals or families who have genetic disorders or may be at risk for inherited conditions. Genetic professionals:
Your health care provider may refer you to a genetic professional. Universities and medical centers also often have affiliated genetic professionals, or can provide referrals to a genetic professional or genetics clinic.
As more has been learned about genetics, genetic professionals have grown more specialized. For example, they may specialize in a particular disease (such as cancer genetics), an age group (such as adolescents) or a type of counseling (such as prenatal).
Your health care provider may refer you to a geneticist - a medical doctor or medical researcher - who specializes in your disease or disorder. A medical geneticist has completed a fellowship or has other advanced training in medical genetics. While a genetic counselor or genetic nurse may help you with testing decisions and support issues, a medical geneticist will make the actual diagnosis of a disease or condition. Many genetic diseases are so rare that only a geneticist can provide the most complete and current information about your condition.
Along with a medical geneticist, you may also be referred to a physician who is a specialist in the type of disorder you have. For example, if a genetic test is positive for colon cancer, you might be referred to an oncologist. For a diagnosis of Huntington disease, you may be referred to a neurologist.
These online resources can help you find a genetic professional in your community:

Quite simply put: This is the best Bluetooth bargain you will see now through Black Friday and beyond.
Smartphone Bluetooth devices are essential but they have barely evolved over the past decade. That all changes today with the ultimate hands-free bargain - and it's ingenious as far as I'm concerned.
Bluetooth earpieces for smartphones usually have cumbersome pairing modes and limited call amplification, and they force you to use even more cords and chargers. Who actually wants to carry around a second charger?
The device I have hunted down by viewer request is incredibly tiny but also more powerful than anything its price range.
With distracted driving concerns on the rise, especially for students, this tech deal I found also ensures safety:
- Top-notch sound quality and background noise cancelation
- Strong voice amplification
- Weighs only 3 grams!
- One of the world's smallest Bluetooth devices
- No charging cable required; USB magnetic clasp eliminates wires
- 18-month warranty
- Pairs with two smartphones simultaneously
- We got more than hours of talk time in our tests
- Works with Apple, Android and many other Bluetooth-ready devices
- Will work with iPhone X and works with new iPhone 8 as well
- Filters ambient noise
- Extremely discreet
- Lowest-recorded price
69% Off Top-Rated Smartphone Bluetooth + Carrying Case + Prime Shipping

Thus far, is the 2010 Census a success or failure?Wednesday, April 28th, 2010
Obviously, for me, the jury is still out on the above question. But on Monday, Ed O'Keefe of the Washington Post tackled this question:
At least 72 percent of American households returned their forms to the U.S. Census Bureau this year, matching returns for the 2000 headcount. Final numbers will be announced on Wednesday and Obama administration officials cheered the early numbers late last week as evidence of successful outreach efforts.
But a leading Republican Census critic phoned The Eye within minutes of Friday's announcement and raised an interesting point:
"This census cost more than double what the census cost in 2000," said Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah). He finds it curious that officials would be happy to only match 2000 figures despite a 2010 budget that was more than three times what was spent ten years ago.
"They spent $300 million on advertising that a lot of us were critical of and they're getting poor results in the places we know we have problems," he said, referring to a controversial Census Bureau Super Bowl ad panned by critics.
The agency's 2010 budget was the same as 2000 on an inflation-adjusted basis, said Census Bureau spokesman Steven Jost.
"We spent just 5 percent more in equivalent dollars this year on a population that was 10 percent bigger," he said in an e-mail. The 2000 Census was also the first conducted with a paid advertising campaign, so 2010′s headcount needed an equally robust ad strategy to stay even with previous numbers, he said.
In his e-mail Jost listed other reasons for only breaking even with 2000: The country has grown in size and diversity since 2000 and the last headcount was conducted at a time of economic prosperity when Americans had a better opinion of government.
"Most observers of the census during the last several years predicted these factors would make the job tougher in 2010 but so far the public has got us off to a great start," Jost said, noting that the second part of Census operations kicks off soon when census takers start knocking on doors.
So who's right? Chaffetz or Jost?

Lady Gaga Spending Holidays in Japan
She may have spent Thanksgiving in New York City with her family, but Lady Gaga is traveling for Christmas and New Year's. The Mother Monster is going east for the holidays. The Far East, that is. The singer was photographed at LAX in Los Angeles on Monday (Dec. 19) where she caught an outbound flight to Tokyo, Japan.
Shots of Gaga were posted here, as she was cloaked in all-black, wearing a blond wig with bangs and extreme, round sunglasses while breezing through security. While many celebs like to travel comfortably in sweats and Uggs for lengthy flights, Gaga was dressed in typical Gaga regalia, even though she was about to hop on an at least a 12-hour flight. Sometimes we don't know how she does it. We definitely love those flared leg, tassel-decorated pants she was rocking.
Gaga confirmed her travel plans via Twitter, post hacking. She tweeted: "Phew. The hacking is over! And just in time, I'm on my way to Japan! So excited to spend Xmastime with my TokyoMonsters!"
Let's hope no one else gained access into Gaga's Twitter while she spent half a day flying the friendly skies.

The British and Irish Lions had the profligacy of Kurtley Beale to thank for victory by the most narrow of margins in Brisbane, as the Australian back missed two late penalties to ensure the visitors triumphed by two points.
Wallabies winger Israel Falou provided the first score of the eagerly-awaited encounter, before a sensational solo try from Lions dangerman George North got the away support rocking.
Another Falou success before the interval momentarily hushed the Lions faithful, but the unerring accuracy of Leigh Halfpenny's boot ensured Warren Gatland's side entered into the break with a 13-12 lead.
Alex Cuthbert recorded another Lions score during the second period, only for Beale to kick two penalties to bring Australia back within two points as the absorbing match edged towards its conclusion.
Beale fluffed an opportunity from 30 metres to send Australia ahead with only minutes remaining, before suffering the heartbreak of another miss in the dying seconds.
The 24-year-old was presented with the chance to claim victory, only to slip on his approach to kick the ball - sending it wide of the posts - and condemning Australia to defeat.
Victory for the Lions in pursuit of a first series win in 16 years was greeted by a host of other sporting stars - most notably from current and former England cricketers ahead of this summer's Ashes against Australia.
Stuart Broad, set to play a starring role for England as they pursue a third successive Ashes win, tweeted his delight at the 23-21 win for the Lions, having previously posted an image of himself wearing the famous red jersey.
He said: "Brilliant entertainment! When it's your day, it's your day! #lions."
Ex-England captain Michael Vaughan and Ashes winner Paul Collingwood also joined in the gloating following the epic win
Vaughan tweeted: "Slipping hell.... What a lovely win...!!! Part 1 of my weekend double sorted......"
Collingwood said: "Sport can be seriously cruel at times #lions #winners."

Johnson, Nyquist
Surprise Campus
Returning after almost a year
in the Merchant Marines spent in
training, out at sea, and in the
British Isles, Earl Johnson, Cadet
Midshipman, and Bethel student
of last year, made a surprise visit
to the campus.
With a leave of seventeen days,
he was on his way home to Port-land,
Oregon where his father, Dr.
Linus Johnson, is pastor of the
Temple Baptist Church.
"It's nice to be back home," and
"Yes, I stopped to visit `Quarny'
(Miriam Quarnstrom) in Cleve-land,"
were his most frequent re-plies
to questions asked about
Following his leave he is to re-ceive
furthur schooling at King's
Point Academy on Long Island,
New York, after which he will be-come
an ensign.
James Nyquist was another
Bethelite back on furlough. He is
in the U.S.T.U. studying engineer-ing
at the University of Kansas.

Decides Convention
"The Junior College is in the best situation to assist in the educa-tional
progress following the war, because it is recent in development,
has not fallen into ruts of customs and procedure, and is quickly adjust-ed
to changing conditions."
This was the conclusion of the main discussion of the Annual
Convention of the American Association of Junior Colleges, which was
attended by Dean Emery Johnson, in Cincinnati, Ohio in the middle
of January.
In an interview Dean Johnson stated that the convention was
centered around the problem of post war period and many notables
were present. Among those who spoke were: Lord Halifax, British
Ambassador to the United States, and the Honorable Carl J. Hanbro,
president of the Norwegian Council and League of Nations.
Mr. Johnson thought some of the quotations rather interesting. He
says, "Lord Halifax had this to say: "There are two things wrong
with Nazism: First, the Nazis say that nothing is true except that
which conforms with Nazi philosophy. Second, the Nazis request the
whole attention of the individual as it concerns the state.
"This is challenging to us because we democracies must be first to
reject the idea of the subjection of the individual to state. We must
never lose the right of individual in society. Nazism is an example of
the wrong thing being done with enthusiasm." The topic of Mr. Hanbro
was : "The Result of Nazism on the Educational Organization of Nor-way.
He said, "The future of the world lies with teachers more than
any other group. The most imporant standards which education must
propagate are the standards of suffering and sacrifice. We must be
worthy of winning the peace."

get Behind the Band
By Joyce Gilbert
Students, unite your instrumental talents and give Bethel the band
she needs!
More cooperation is needed at the present time than ever before for
musical instruments are unavailable and time is limited. Professor
Stjernstrom has agreed to set aside a part of his valuable time to this
end ; you can utilize that opportunity.
Was the student body last year more capable than that of the pre-sent
year? A few of those members are still here to aid in this pro-ject.
How about it fellow classmen; can you do it?
The announcement relating to this item has been made several
times without sufficient response, but each capable student knows
what be or she can do about it. Bethel's musicians owe it to their fellow
basketball teams, their Alma Mater, and themselves.
Bethel Office Turns
Service Allen's Center
By Hazel Nelson
-• • r I ITT
Page 2 THE BETHEL CLARION
With the help of Uncle Sam's
Post Office, Bethel is now a center
for Service Men and Women. The
membership consists of approxi-mately
four thousand young
people from Swedish Baptist
Churches all over the United
States who are at this time in
uniform and serving their coun-try.
Of course, most of you have wit-nessed
the extreme hurry and
bustle in the office these past
months so perhaps in your inquiry
of this hurried state of affairs, you
have heard of this new project. If
not, you will want to know about
the service your school is render-ing
in the way of patriotism and in
the interest of the spiritual as well
as physical welfare of the men
and women in the armed forces.
The file case you lean upon in the
office when asking for your se-mester
grade is the one which con-tains
the names and addresses of
all those in the service. They are
arranged according to the location
of their camps and were obtained
in response to letters sent out to
all the Swedish Baptist Confer-ence
Churches explaining the 4ask
which Bethel has been undertak-ing.
At Christmas time cheery and
encouraging letters were written
by our college dean, Emery A.
Johnson, were sent to those _ser-vice
men and women within the
United States introducing Bethel
and explaining to them the pur-pose
of the correspondence, .which
is to pass on to them names of
other Christians in the same camp
so they may know who they are
and get acquainted with them. In-cluded
in these letters were con-venient
pocket-size directories con-taining
the names of the Swedish
Churches and their addresses.
These are to help them when they
arrive in a strange place and want
to attend some church but know
not which one nor the address. -
In every mail brought in this
year, answers have come to Dean
Emery. A. Johnson. As V-Mails
were sent to the men over seas,
there were many answers in V-
. Mail from men engaged in enemy
combat, in the air, on the ocean,
and even deep in the jungles. All
were mutual in their expressions
of gratitude and appreciation to
the school for what they are doing.
The question prevailing in your
mind by now may be, "Doesn't the
constant changing of addresses
cause difficulty in keeping the
records?" Yes, it does and that is
where the churches must be relied
upon for cooperation in keeping
the office informed as to the cor-rect
addresses. However, we
have found the churches eager to
cooperate and they have indicated
their appreciation' too of anything
done for their "Boys," as they call
them. Dean Johnson is answering
each letter individually with news
that would especially interest that
particular person. Within this
week, two and one-half thousand
two-page letters are going to be
sent to those in service _camps in
the United States. In another
week, regular letters will also be
sent to those over-seas. Our Con-ference
Press Publication, The
Standard, will be mailed to those
asking for it and different types
of tracts will be enclosed to those
requesting them for their own
reading and to pass on to others.
When a gold star is added to the
service flags in any of the 'Con-ference
Churches, Bethel too hon-ors
the memory of that one who
has made the supreme sacrifice in
the service of his country.
Letters and literature being
thus mailed out is not restricted
merely to those service men and
women in the Swedish Baptist
Churches. You may submit the
name of your relatives and friends
and they to will receive the same
The membership of the Service
Men's Center by mail is rapidly
increasing and Dean Johnson ex-pects
it to reach a total of approx-imately
five and one-half thousand
addresses when all the Conference
Chui7ches alone have responded.
What will be the outcome? A
great deal of expense, time and
labor spent—spent, but we know
you will agree, not in vain. For in
the contacts made through the
correspondence to these, our loved
ones in the service, will they be-come
more united in fellowship
with other Christians and in fel-lowship
with the Father above and

I would like to tell you about a
man whom I met several years
ago. I have never forgotten him

so impressed by him. Since meet-ing
him and speaking to him and

wealthy man, he is a

simple man, he demands utmost
honor and respect. He is not in

care for boasters. He is an honest
man and despises the very acts of
dishonesty that are committed
daily round about him, yet in spite
of this, he sees good in everyone,
even the worst.
He has been laughed at many
times. People say that his ideals
and principles are too narrow-minded
and to live by them is
utterly absure. People also say he
is foolish because he has turned

One of the practices cultivated
by the freshmen, practiced dili-gently
by the sophomore, and per-fected
by the seminary students is
that of resting, or to put it more
bluntly, of catching up on one's
sleep, to the accompaniment of
the soothing, gentle tones of the
There are many angles to this
subject (as said the geometry Stu-dent
as he tried to solve Phytho-goras's
theorem—pause for a snic-ker)
but let us venture forth into
the methods. First, one of the
most popular schools is the "hand
over forehead" group. This form,
however, is frowned upon by the
experts in this field, inasmuch as
inevitably, one's hand slips off the
forehead when one falls asleep,
and the resulting thud as your
head meets the desk is the cause
of many dirty looks from other
"resters" 'who are abruptly a-waken
by the noise.
Then there is the "Well, so
what" school which believes in
simple and openly sprawling out
and going to sleep. But this too, is
considered bad form since it gives
the teachers serious doubts as to
their teaching ability and we all
agree that it pays to be nice to
one's teacher or does it? One some
times wonder.) At any rate, this
By Weston
Mail getting is one of the high-est
points in our daily activities.
We all look forward to that letter
from home (?) with a ferver of
anticipation that's totally unquen-chable—
I believe we're all justi-fied
in our eageress. After all
what's more relaxing than a nice-ly
written letter??
I had never really thought of
anything but what my thought for
letters might contain until one day
last week. It was then that the
post office offensive forced me
bodily against the wall farthest
from my box. Finally in exaspera-tion
I decided to pull my milling
arms down to a respectable level
and watch the "Morning Mail Mas-sacre"
from my unwanted point
of vantage.
As a result of my observation I
became of the personal opinion
that we, the Bethel Student Body
are divided into four mail receiv-ing
groups—normally we are as
First: The morbid looking "No
Financial Backing From Home"
Second: The "Package in the
Office" group. (who incidentally
school is frowned upon because
their reaction is hardly tactful or
diplomatic, to say the least.
Which brings us to the final and
best school, advocated by the ex-perts
in this field. This is the
camouflage or deceptive school of
thought which simply consists of
getting two or three of the biggest
persons in the class to sit before
one, naturally toward the back
of the room and then simply go-ing
to sleep behind this, adequate,
(we hope) screen.
But a warning at this point—if
you are one of those individuals
who have a tendency to snore, this
practice of drifting off to slumber-land
is definitely discouraging in-asmuch
as there is something dis-concerting
to the teacher when
one is in the midst of lecture to
have a snore break through—and
it is rather incongruous, to say
the least, to hear a steady, distinct
snore while the German teacher
is conjugating "schlafen" or is
asking "Wie viel Uhr gingen Sie
Zu Bett jetzt Nach? or such.
And this parting word of advice
from an expert: "Endeavor, inso-far
as possible, to—ah—rest—as
inconspicuously as possible since,
for some inexplicable reasons,
teachers do not seem to appreciate
this form of resting." But don't
let the fear of consequences deter
you from trying this highly relax-ing
practice—and if you need any
more pointers, kindly refer to the
author's book on "Classroom Ex-ercises
in Mental and Physical Re-laxation"
or "How to make up for
the night before the morning
usually further the congested con-gestion
by their obnixious pack-ages).
Thirdly: The contented "Letter
from Mom" (?) group (Those with
that contented expression).
Lastly: The "Give Me My Chap-el
Notice and Look at How Dusty
My Mail Box Is" group.
As perfect proof of the 9:46 con-gestion
I'll illustrate by what hap-pened
last Wednesday. I, being an
early P. 0. arriver, received my
"package in the office" notice be-fote
the usual clamor. I immediate-ly
obtained the package (which
proved to be my clean clothes
and with it and my school bag
grasped firmly in my right hand
set off in the general direction of
the water fountain. Suddenly the
latter wave of Mr. Carlson's Hist-ory
Class poured out with that de-termined
look of mail in their
eyes. Believe it or not by the time
I finally reached the water foun-tain
I had on a clean shirt and
was studying zoology.

inspirational mail and then too,
the spirit of competition derived
is no doubt of deepest value.

street-car travel. "When in doubt,

Great Northern Depot waiting
room—and I'd never been farther
from the cities than the National
Tea on Larpenteur. So three of
the North End Gang consented to
guide me through a perilous ride.
I don't know why, but they laugh-ed
when I asked their questions:
"Why do they come around to col-lect
your transfer?" "Why do you
get a transfer before you even
enter the train?" "How did they
know there'd be four of us in order
to have four sailors across the
aisle?" _
Do those changeable seats, so
that four people face each other,
have anything to do with the tet-rad

"Does it take more than two
hours to walk from Raymetz's
house down town?" "What kind of
lighting do they have—and do they
pump their water?" "What street

be the biggest joke.)

? Guess Who ?
Outplaying all the
way, the Bethel Cagers came out
on the long end of a 47-30 score.
The Tribemen showed about the
best passing attack of the season
with the result that scoring was
comparatively easy, especially in
the first three quarters.
In the last quarter, the
men outscored the Redskins and
closed the large gap in the score.
During this final quarter, Coach
Hokansan had his starting five on
the bench most of the time.
W,essman led the Indians in
scoring while paced
the ites, putting shots
from the side-count.
Preceeding the varsity game,
the Cambridge Baptist Chulich
Girl's Team tipped the Bethel
Squawks, composed of all fresh-men.
The game was close all the
way, ending in a 13-12 final score.
Bethel Falls
to River Falls
The January chapter of the bas-ketball
season was ushered out
Monday night, January 31, when
a strong River Falls Teacher's
College team defeated the Bethel
Indians 61-45.
Our warriors put up a great
fight, and at the end of the first
quarter had high hopes of taking
a few scalps. But the River Falls'
boys shook loose and had surged
ahead considerably by halt-time.
The Indians outscored the visitors
by 2 points in the second half, but
the damage had already been
done. DeLong, the Teacher's elong-ated
forward, and C. Mast, com-bined
to ripple the cards for 41
points, 24 and 17 respectively.
Wessman and Captain Hails each
got 12 for the home team.
The game was marked by an
all-around scrappy spirit on the
part of both team and student
body, something that has been
slightly lacking up to that time.
Lots of credit goes to our quartet
of fine cheer leaders.
Comets Whiz
Past Bethel
Wednesday, February 2, the
Concordia Comets came through
after a hard fight to win over the
Indians by a score of 50 to 39.
Willis Wessman earned- the top
scoring honors with 5 field goals
and 8 free throws to make a total
of 18 points. Nahnsen, was se-cond
with 15 points. The next
scoring honors wents to Hanne-man
who had 11 points and Hails
who had 9.
At the beginning of the game
the inspired Indians took the Co-mets
by surprise and went into a
lead of 11 to 8 by the end of the
first quarter. By the half, the
Comets had managed to squeeze
out a 20 to 19 point lead over the
Indians. During the first few
minutes of the second half, the
Comets started a fast offence
which put them into a substantial
lead. The Indians threatened a
couple of times before the final
gun, but were unable to keep pace
with the tall and speedy Comets.

|Turmeric and Atripa
Nov 24, 2010
Is it ok to take Turmeric supplements with Atripla? I've heard that turmeric boosts the Cytochrome P450 system. Could this reduce the half-life of the components in Atripla?
Response from Dr. Henry
Good question. The components of tumeric can vary from product to product. Data is limited. If any reader is aware of a published reference looking at tumeric and efavirenz or Atripla please post. I would generally not expect a clinically significant interatction but would inform your HIV provider so he/she can monitor. See below from Wikipedia entry on tumeric:
Turmeric is currently being investigated for possible benefits in Alzheimer's disease,[6] cancer, arthritis, and other clinical disorders.[7]
In the latter half of the 20th century, curcumin was identified as responsible for most of the biological effects of turmeric. According to a 2005 article in the Wall Street Journal, research activity into curcumin and turmeric is increasing, with supplement sales increased 35% from 2004. The U.S. National Institutes of Health currently has registered 19 clinical trials underway to study use of dietary turmeric and curcumin for a variety of clinical disorders (dated February 2010).[8]

Housing and Shelter
Results: 5
Emergency Shelter
Emergency Shelter
Programs that provide a temporary or transitional place to stay for newcomers, people who are in crisis, or homeless individuals in the community.
Housing Counseling
Housing Counseling
Programs that provide comprehensive assistance for people who want to rent or purchase housing including information and guidance about buying and rental costs; how to select affordable housing that meets individual needs; and how to provide for insurance, maintenance and other requirements related to acquiring and paying for housing.
Low Income/Subsidized Rental Housing
Low Income/Subsidized Rental Housing
Housing programs that make rental housing more readily available to homeless people and/or low-income individuals and families (those below 50% of the area's median income). Some complexes or housing units may be reserved for low-income older adults, people with disabilities and/or other special populations.
Street Outreach Programs
Street Outreach Programs
Programs that are staffed by outreach workers who spend time with people who live on the street, build relationships with them, identify and address their immediate needs (e.g., crisis intervention, food, clean clothing, hygiene kits, blankets, someone to listen) and provide information about and linkage to longer-term forms of support such as shelter, counseling, drug and alcohol detoxification and rehabilitation, care/case management and, where applicable, family reunification services. Street outreach programs may be staffed by volunteers or peers who were formerly homeless; and may target special populations such as homeless youth at risk for sexual abuse or exploitation, veterans, or people with specific medical or mental health conditions, or be available to the larger homeless population.
Transitional Housing/Shelter
Transitional Housing/Shelter
Programs that provide extended shelter and supportive services primarily for homeless individuals and/or families with the goal of helping them live independently and transition into permanent housing. Some programs require that the individual/family be transitioning from a short-term emergency shelter. The length of stay varies considerably by program. It is generally longer than two weeks but typically 60 days or more and, in many cases, up to two years or more. The supportive services may be provided directly by the organization managing the housing or may be coordinated by them and provided by other public or private agencies. Transitional housing/shelter is generally provided in apartment style facilities with a higher degree of privacy than short-term homeless shelters; may be provided at no cost to the resident; and may be configured for specialized groups within the homeless population such as people with substance abuse problems, homeless mentally ill, homeless domestic violence victims, veterans or homeless people with AIDS/HIV. In some cases, a "transition in place" option allows families to continue living in the same complex (if not the same unit) where their transitional housing unit is located when they are ready to move to permanent housing. In other cases, the permanent housing option is either public housing or private rental housing supported by a tenant-based voucher subsidy. Included are post-domestic violence shelter housing programs that make affordable rental housing (or other accommodations) available to women, generally those who are coming directly out of a domestic violence shelter or other crisis shelter, often in apartment complexes owned by the shelter; and programs that provide transitional housing and support services for other targeted groups such as military and veteran families and others who need a temporary supportive living environment to maintain stability and begin to thrive.

How to seal your homeBy Brian Sloboda
Staying comfortable at home often means turning up the heat or air conditioning. But comfort can be costly if your home is not properly sealed from the elements.
Roughly half of the energy used by a home powers heating and cooling. In a poorly insulated home, conditioned air slips outside.
Sometimes air leaks are obvious. If you pass by a window or door and feel a change in temperature, something is wrong. Some folks think it means they need new windows, and that could be the case. But for most, spending a few minutes and a few dollars to seal a home adds up to big savings.
Cold air enters a home through small openings. To find problem areas, use a lit incense stick or a recently extinguished match and move it around the edge of closed windows and doors. Here are a few remedies to fix the problem:
Add weather stripping to the edges of windows and doors. Stripping typically uses sticky tape to adhere to the side of the window and fill gaps.
If your home uses single pane windows, consider adding storm windows to the exterior as added insulation.
Replace old cracked caulking. Make sure you use caulking designed for the application. There are different types of caulk for exterior, interior and bathroom applications; don't use bathroom caulk on the outside of your home. Also, make sure the caulk can be painted if you want it to blend in with the rest of your home.
Use insulated curtains to prevent further heat loss.
Remove window air conditioning units when summer ends.
A quick walk around the outside of your home reveals other prime candidates for quick and easy repairs. Anytime a hole is drilled into a home, it creates potential for energy loss. Check pipe and wire penetrations—they should be sealed on both exterior and interior walls. This not only helps prevent energy loss, but also keeps critters from taking up residence.
The ductwork of a forced air furnace, central AC unit or heat pump is another source of energy loss. According to Energy Star, sealing and insulting ducts improves system efficiency by as much as 20 percent. Of course, this requires effort and time. First, focus on ducts running through unconditioned crawl spaces, garages, and attics. Seal ducts using a special duct sealant or metal tape that can be found at most home improvement stores. Despite the name, don't use duct tape — it doesn't last as long as sealant or metal tape.
Once ducts are sealed, check connections at bends and air registers to make sure everything is tight. Once finished, wrap ducts with insulation. Since this may be a dirty and time-consuming job, many homeowners ask a HVAC company to perform this work.
Another dirty job involves adding insulation to the attic and floors exposed to crawl spaces or unheated areas. The amount of insulation needed varies depending on your home's location.
R-values reflect the ability of insulation to resist the transfer of heat. Higher R-values indicate more effective insulation. The typical home will need anywhere from R-38 to R-49 in an attic and R-25 in floors. You can get advice on how much insulation you need at your local hardware store. In an ideal world, wall insulation should also be increased, but this generally is not practical.
Remember, no amount of insulation will help if doors or windows are left open. A rush of cold outside air can cause your heating unit to fire up, especially if the door isn't closed right away. Create a jar and charge repeat offenders $1 each time a door is left open when someone leaves or enters the home. Use that money to buy caulking and weather stripping to seal up windows and other cracks.

Families and robot lovers of all ages are invited to watch the fun at the Columbia Gorge First Lego League (FLL) tournaments starting this weekend.
These free events will be held from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 7 and 8, at The Dalles Middle School, 1100 E. 12th St., and Sunday, Dec. 15 at Wy'east Middle School, 3000 Wy'east Road near Odell.
These tournaments are local qualifiers for the international FLL robotics competition for kids ages 9 to 14. Winners will travel to the state tournaments in Hillsboro in January.
These events are held locally by the Gorge Technology Alliance (GTA) with sponsorship support from Google.
"This is our fourth year of these tournaments and we're excited to have the most kids participating yet, with 55 teams from all across the region," said GTA Executive Director Jessica Metta, who acts as the Tournament Director for the three events. Teams will be traveling from Dallesport, Goldendale, Grass Valley, Hood River, Klickitat, Lyle, Mosier, Parkdale, Skamania, The Dalles and Trout Lake.
In FLL competitions, teams use off-the-shelf Lego robotics kits to construct working robots, which compete on a 4-foot by 8-foot playing field.
Each year, FLL defines a challenge that drives team activities. In this fall's challenge, Nature's Fury: Prepare. Be Safe. Rebuild., teams researched natural disasters and created innovative solutions to solve problems caused by natural disasters that hadn't already been solved.
Each team participates in several rounds of judging including robot design and programming, teamwork, completion of the natural disaster research and, of course, performance on the playing field.
For more information, contact Metta at 541-296-2266 or email@example.com.

CMS weighs in on bid data
BALTIMORE - No sooner had Prof. Peter Cramton released a report that showed 60% to 80% declines in Medicare claims for home medical equipment in Round 1 competitive bidding areas (CBAs), than CMS was dismissing the data.
At a Jan. 25 Jurisdiction C council meeting, Medical Director Dr. Paul Hoover said he hasn't seen any such decline in claims, according to Michael Hamilton, executive director of the Alabama Durable Medical Equipment Association, who attended the meeting. Hoover suggested that perhaps Cramton didn't ask "the right questions" in his Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the data, said Hamilton.
"He said if you don't ask the right questions you get misleading data," he said. "It seems to me it would be a pretty simple process for somebody as experienced at statistics as Cramton must be."
In addition to Hoover, CMS officials have acknowledged "some decline" in claims; they attribute it to reduced Medicare fraud.
When contacted by HME News, CMS officials wouldn't specify a percentage decline in claims or explain why they believe Cramton's report is flawed. It did release a comparison of allowed charges in CBAs versus non-CBAs as proof that the program is necessary to reduce fraud. According to CMS: In Miami, which has 517,370 fee-for-service beneficiaries, there were allowed charges of $221,660,443, or $428.44 per beneficiary; by contrast, in Chicago, which has 1,085,254 beneficiaries, there were allowed charges of $173,922,952 or $160.26 per beneficiary.
Some industry associations are asking the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to investigate the "anomaly" between Cramton's and CMS's conclusions.
"They're using the same data and both sides can't be right," said Wayne Stanfield, president and CEO of NAIMES. "We have no reason to believe that Dr. Cramton would jeopardize his reputation by putting out something that he did not have ultimate confidence in."
Until CMS produces a detailed, data driven analysis that is transparent, then their denials ring hollow.

If CMS states that Cramton is so clearly wrong, then they should have no trouble providing facts to back up their statements.
What a coincidence that both Miami and Chicago have exactly the same amount of allowed charges ($221,660,443).

Are you sure this isn't a typographical error?
Nice catch, Bob. It's been corrected. Theresa
All we know for sure is that spending went down. As far as I can see, neither CMS nor Crampton have shown any facts to prove their points. (Dollars spent per beneficiary again just shows that fewer customers are being served. It doesn't demonstrate that they do or do not need the services that are being paid for by Medicare.) That said, I find the drop in the number of claims to be as worrying as Crampton is.
I'm amazed there's been no comment here on today's WSJ

When someone from Capitol Hill's mother who is on Medicare needs a walker, is provided one from a manufacturer oversees produced in a cave, the walker falls apart she ends up in the hospital with a fx hip, comes home needs a wheelchair which is also made in a cave, the back wheel falls off as they are transfering her to the electric hospital bed, which was also made in a cave, get her in bed and the junction box catches on fire as she uses the pendant, tries to call the homecare company after hours but they went out of business because they only received 20% of the referrals in comparison to last year, then Capitol Hill will realize that competitive bidding is costing the system more money with increased hospitalizations and lack of access to quality HME dealers. We are a service industry not Commodes R Us!
Stop the presses! CMS thinks they are right and their critics are wrong yet offers no proof or transparency to back up their side.....film at 11. :P
On my patient satisfaction survey's there is a question that says "Do you feel your medical equipment kept you from unnecessary hospital stay or nursing home admission" The answer is 100% yes. Have been compiling my own data for years. However it falls on deaf ears. Law makers point the finger to CMS and CMS points the finger back onto the "Law". We have seen that gov't agencies can be just as corrupt as any other corrupt business. So what's the deal? Release the numbers, or do they have something they are trying to hide? The competitive bidding program is a f'ing disaster. WAKE UP AMERICA!
We are rank amateurs in trying to play this "Influence Congress†game when we go up against the mighty engine that is CMS. Those guys live up there and have made a career out of making reality of what they want to accomplish. They are not popular with Congress, but they are effective and know their business.

What they have done with their "evidence†is to hide reality amongst the statistics. Remember, "Figures don't lie, but Liars figure.†For example, if you had a great increase in murder and crime in one small area of a big city and you threw the Numbers into the overall crime stats for the city or state you would see little if any change in the crime rates. But you would be missing/hiding a very real problem in that specific area of the city. There may be a serial killer or gang activity that affects the citizenry of that spot on the globe. This problem would not be reflected in the numbers.

Here in the world of DME/HME I sense the same problem in "reporting the factsâ€. Since DME/HME only compromises less than 2% of the budget, any significant affects from changes in ER Admissions, Death Rates or Hospitalization from DME/HME problems will be impossible to see in the Big Picture. Does this mean there is not a problem in access to care and quality of care? The problem is in how we look at (or don't look at) the situation.

This needs to be shared with your Representatives and Senators. Magic at the end of the day is not Magic. It is just misdirection and sleight of hand. That is what we have here – Something that looks believable and amazing, but is not true.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — A high-profile gathering of Latino public officials turned out to be a win-win for President Obama and Republican Mitt Romney, according to interviews with those who attended. Democrats did not take Obama to task for waiting so long to stop deportations of young illegal immigrants, and Republicans expressed relief at Romney's presence and softer tone.
"I think people are ready to give both of them, really both of them some pass," said Ron Garcia, a Republican from Southern California and a member of the board of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials. "There's some time now to digest what the two candidates have to offer."
The fast-growing Latino community is a pivotal voting bloc in several battleground states, including Florida, Colorado, Nevada, Virginia, North Carolina and Arizona. Obama won two-thirds of the Latino vote in 2008 and is doing even better than that in some polls this year. Analysts estimate that Romney needs to win as much as 40 percent of the Latino vote to win the White House, a goal he is not reaching in several states and one made harder by the tough immigration rhetoric he and other Republican candidates employed during the primaries.
Obama's standing with Latinos was reflected in the enthusiastic cheers and multiple standing ovations he received at NALEO. Better yet for him: the only subject that came close to generating as much fervor as his new policy on undocumented youth was his mention of the Affordable Care Act, a toxic subject in much of the country.
"I was very moved by it," said Mary Rose Wilcox, a Maricopa County supervisor from Phoenix, Ariz. "I saw a toughness that I had not seen the last time he came to NALEO and I like that a lot, because he has done so much — in terms of not only what he did with the executive decision (on young immigrants) but also with the economy."
Her chief of staff, Terri Leija, said Obama's speech motivated her to get out the vote.
While Obama had a natural advantage at the conference, Romney benefitted from offering his own ideas for immigration reform in front of a polite, if unenthusiastic audience. His proposals, aimed in part at keeping families together and highly educated foreign students in the United States, allowed him to move away from his much-scorned "self-deportation" language and reintroduce himself as a general-election nominee sympathetic to the concerns of Latino voters.
"I was a little upset with him over some of the harshness with respect to immigration in the past, but what he said today was something I find appealing," said Juan Zapata, a self-described moderate Republican who chairs the NALEO Education fund. "Softening that rhetoric with regards to immigration will definitely go a long way towards helping Republicans."
If Romney's speech was part of the learning process of how to speak to Hispanic voters, "he's on the right track," said Longwood, Fla., city councilman Bob Cortes, a Republican.
Key to the satisfaction of several Republicans at the conference was a sense that Romney did not outright reject the ideas behind the DREAM Act, legislation that would create a path to citizenship to people brought to the United States illegally as children, if they pursue a college education or military service.
However, several Democrats — including Obama — pointed to Romney's emphatic opposition to the DREAM Act during the primary campaign. Many called Romney's ideas vague and accused him of deliberately avoiding saying whether he would overturn Obama's new policy of letting young undocumented immigrants apply for temporary deportation reprieves and work permits (Romney said in his speech he would propose comprehensive reform that would "supersede" Obama's order).
"This is clearly a contrast between action and words," said Texas State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, a Democrat. "We heard a bunch of great ideas about immigration policies, but we know that when Gov. Romney is fundraising in other parts of the country, he talks about vetoing the DREAM Act, building walls, doing things that take Latinos back for generations."
Many gave Romney credit for appearing at the conference even with the knowledge that the crowd would be largely comprised of Democrats supportive of Obama. "I think he basically showed them that he did care one way or another, he did believe in the Latino vote and that he did believe that immigration is an issue," said Republican political consultant Esteban Ferreiro. "I think he did what he needed to do within his beliefs."
Even Democrats like Utah State Senate minority leader Ross Romero said Romney's intentions seemed sincere, even if his policy proposals were too general. "The fact that he spent 20 minutes, 30 minutes walking the rope line after his speech said to me that he knew he had work to do, he knew that he needed to make those one-on-one connections, and the fact that we were respectful when he was speaking lent for that opportunity," Romero said.
Romney is unlikely to make much headway with his attempts to convince the Hispanic community that the president is taking their votes for granted. Most Obama supporters, like Leija, blame Republicans in Congress for blocking immigration reform. And as for the charge that Obama broke a promise by not appearing at NALEO in every year of his presidency?
"I've been a member of NALEO for 12 years and I've never seen Gov. Romney here," Martinez Fischer said. "The fact of the matter is, [Obama is] the president of the United States and he's the leader of the world and we don't expect him to be at every place every time we have a convening. But we know where we stand within his policies."

What to wear under your tricky summer tops and dresses this season? This week, you all wanted to know how to stay chic this summer without breaking the bank. Jenny's back with some expert answers to your biggest summer style SOS!
Q: Which type of bra would you recommend for summery shirts such as flowy, backless, strapless, spaghetti straps, and cross backs? I have a lot of fun shirts and a couple dresses I want to wear (preferably without a tanktop underneath), but my bras always seem to look funky underneath. The bra will almost always show on the sides, the straps might show, or just don't flow well with the shirt. It's a pain and makes me consider going bra-less. I don't want to buy a bra for every shirt because i'm on a college girl's budget. Please help!
Jenny: I LOVE this bra question. It really is on everyone's mind for summer!
You do not need a bra for each outfit, you just need a great do-it-all bra.
First up is a bra I can't live without, the best investment bra ever; a multi-way bra. Multi way bras are at minimum a great strapless bra, and it's up to you whether you want padded or not. I like the Mia Multi-Way Pushup bra since it gives great lift and has some oomph in the cups.
I wear it mostly as a strapless, but with a quick change of the straps, you can wear the bra as a halter, one shoulder, deep v-halter, and more! The versatility makes this bra function as 8+ bras in one.
Second for me is another life changing bra, the Lace Bare Pushup bra. (We also have our original, non-pushup Bare Bra for all you lightly lined ladies!)
This bra allows you the freedom of going braless (no bra across the back!) while getting the coverage and support of a strapless. The adhesive is amazing (just remember…no deodorant, powder, perfume or lotion where the bra goes or else it won't stick!). This bra will work with everything, from a backless formal dress to an open back tank top. Take good care of this bra and you'll go back to it in your drawer forever to solve tons of outfit dilemmas.
With either option, go with nude for the most versatility with your outfits!
That's it for today! Check out more quick fixes from Jenny here, and look out for more of her answers to your questions each Monday right here on the Aerie blog!
