This poisoning is from swallowing or breathing in (inhaling) nail polish.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.

Home Treatment
Do NOT make the person throw up. Seek immediate emergency medical care.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- The patients age, weight, and condition
- The name of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known)
- The time it was swallowed
- The amount swallowed
Poison Control
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.
What to expect at the emergency room
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patients vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
- Breathing support
- Blood and urine tests
- Endoscopy -- camera down the throat to see burns in the esophagus and the stomach
- Fluids through a vein (I.V.)
- Irrigation (washing of the skin and eyes), perhaps every few hours for several days
- Medicines to treat symptoms
- Skin debridement (surgical removal of burned skin)
- Tube through the mouth into the stomach to wash out the stomach (
gastric lavage)
Outlook (Prognosis)
How well a patient does depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment was received. The faster a patient gets medical help, the better the chance for recovery. Nail polish tends to come in small bottles, so serious poisoning is unlikely if only one bottle was swallowed. However, always seek immediate emergency medical care.
Some people intentionally sniff nail polish to become intoxicated (drunk) by the fumes. Over time these people, as well as those working in poorly ventilated nail salons, can develop a condition known as "painter syndrome." This is a permanent condition that causes walking problems, speech problems, and memory loss. Painter syndrome may also be called organic solvent syndrome, psychoorganic syndrome, and chronic solvent encephalopathy (CSE). CSE can also cause nonspecific symptoms, such as headache, fatigue, mood disturbances, sleep disorders, and possible behavioral changes.
Sudden death is possible in some nail polish poisoning cases.

He will be greatly missed, but his stories, poems, and songs will live on forever in our hearts and minds.
He came to this earth on Sept. 9, 1931, in the mining town of Dolores, Colo., to James Wesley Oliver, Sr. and Ida Beatrice Pinkerton Oliver. As the son of a government trapper, Jim spent his childhood summers in a boy's paradise, fishing, hunting and trapping in the La Sal Mountains near Moab, Utah. These fond memories later became the stories that delighted his family and friends and formed the basis of his book, "True Life Adventure Stories of Little Jimmy Oliver, The Trapper's Son."
Always an active and energetic man, Jim played football throughout high school, college, and the U.S. Navy – which he served in during the Korean War. During his term of service, he was wounded on the battleship USS Oriskany.
Following his service for our country, he married Loraine Castagno on Aug. 8, 1956, in the Logan LDS Temple.
Jim was a man of many talents and great industry. As a carpenter, he built three homes during his life, the first at the age of 18. He graduated from Utah State University in 1960 with a degree in industrial education and taught industrial arts at Roosevelt, Granger, and Kearns high schools. In 1973, he joined the engineering department at Brigham Young University, where he spent 17 years teaching in the mechanical engineering machine shop.
Known by many as a man with a "perfect brightness of hope and a love of God and of all men," Jim served dutifully in the church, loving Scouting. He was a dedicated student of the scriptures and engaging teacher.
Jim spent the last five years of his life under the same quality of loving care in the Heritage Care Center in American Fork.
Jim is survived by his wife of 56 years, Loraine Castagno; and five children: Sharon Warner (Ken) of Springville, John Wesley Oliver (Denise) of Lincoln, Neb., Rose Palmer (Brian) of Redlands, Calif., Tracy Schultz (Craig) of Orem, and Julie Andersen (Chuck, deceased) of Lehi; 25 grandchildren; sister, Dixie Dalton; in-laws, Glenna Oliver and Lola Mae Oliver of Moab, Frank and Ella Santiago of Provo, LaRae Castagno of Orem, LeRoy and Donna Rose of Tooele; and many nieces and nephews who loved him.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and brothers, Lonnie and Delbert Oliver; sister, Marjorie Hill; and son-in law, Charles Andersen.
Services were held in the White Church in Mapleton. Viewings were held on Friday, Feb. 8 and Saturday, Feb. 9, prior to funeral services.
Services were under the direction of Wheeler Mortuary, Springville, Utah.

NGS 2011 - Conflicting Social Media Policy
Their official policy stated "NGS does permit and encourage the use of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and blogging at the conference as a way to summarize, highlight, excerpt, review, critique, and/or promote the presented materials, syllabus materials, or the conference in general . . ."
Imagine my surprise when session after session we were told to "turn off" cell phones and all other electronic devices. The announcement varied but almost every session I attended made an announcement anywhere from a simple "turn off your cell phone" to a detailed announcement of all the specific devices that should be turned off. Occasionally there was an added statement to the effect of "if you have the syllabus on your laptop or other device you can leave it on as long as you aren't using it for anything else." Some speakers even prefaced this information with "we have been told to announce . . ." which sounded a little like "this isn't my idea." There was no question about the intent of these announcements. They did not mean "silence your cell phones but feel free to use social media to promote the conference."
So what does this mean? Did the conference management fail to read the official social media policy? Did the official social media policy really mean "we encourage the use of social media as long as you don't actually use it during a session?" Does NGS not understand that social media is most effective as an event is happening? People aren't going to wait until after the conference day is over to go back to their hotels and tweet out numerous updates about things that happened throughout the day one right after another. People at home trying to follow along want to know what's happening as it's happening not hours later. Instant information is the whole point of social media. You can't say you encourage it and then tell everyone to turn off every device that could be used for it.
I hope NGS comes to a better understanding of social media before 2012.

You summed it up perfectly, Linda! Incredibly frustrating and just made them seem incredibly out of touch. It would also be nice if the conference wasn't a "Dead Zone" for signal. Although not really their fault it compounded the problem.ReplyDelete
I wonder if it just isn't clear how social media promotes a conference, not detracts from it.
Great post, Linda! I wonder if they are passing out a script to room moderators from 10 years ago and don't even realize that it should be updated. Let's say turn off the noise, not the devices.ReplyDelete
I heard a lot of the "we have been told..." too. I used my netbook & broadband to go to tweet out during sessions. And yes, "Dead Zone" is right Cheryl!! But considering it was marshland until about 15-20 years ago at least we got spotty service.ReplyDelete
I just don't feel that NGS really embraces the benefits of social media via Twitter, Facebook and the like. Maybe they will for the next conference.
Really appreciate your thoughts. We requested room monitors to have attendees turn the phones to silent or vibrate but we might have missed updating the script. Thank you for pointing it out to us and it will definitely not be an oversight next year.ReplyDelete
We do appreciate your support of our event and of NGS over the years.

Cheryl & Denise - The dead zone was definitely frustrating. I've got a few things to say about that in the next post.ReplyDelete
Denise - I wondered how you were tweeting & figured you must have Verizon since their phones seemed to work - at least much better than AT&T's non-existent service.
Tina - Looks like you are right.
NGS - Thanks for the quick response. I look forward to Cincinnati.
I agree, Linda! It was completely contradictory!ReplyDelete
Hi Linda, I was really confused by that as well. Especially with all the Twitter chatter and complaining of other conferences I've "listened" to via people's twitter feed in which they were discouraged to turn off their phones as well. I honestly felt like we all had an opportunity to tweet merrily along through the opening sessions and did so, especially with Buzzy Jackson who was a great speaker and then it was as if we were punished and all communication "rights" yanked out from under us by the big "blackout." Well...not really but that's what it felt like :-)ReplyDelete
Hello Linda and all the commenters. Thanks for a great conversation and I also admire the fact that NGS was able to monitor the conversation and jump in (which does, in fact, demonstrate that they do "get" social media).ReplyDelete
As National Publicity Chair for FGS 2011, we've been struggling with putting together a social media policy that is accurate, workable, and serves both social media users and the presenters as well as other attendees. To be honest, from my research of other conference policies, NGS and FGS are still on the cutting edge with their policies.
Question: what if a social media policy included this: a) all presenters and speakers are briefed ahead of time as to the social media policy but could still make an announcement at the beginning of their own individual sessions, prohibiting the use of social media; b) a mention of the taking of photographs for use with social media tools (not many policies mention this); c) a statement that cell phones and mobile devices should not be used such that they emit an audible ring/notification nor for the use of audible voice conversations which could interrupt the presentation - however, such devices can be used for social media purposes (unless specifically prohibited by the speaker - see above)?
Linda, great job on the post and I'm thrilled to see that NGS responded.ReplyDelete
Thomas, I think that is a workable plan. I think presenters should have the option to prevent use of social media (although I don't know why they would want to; frankly, I've found that presenters who didn't want to be tweeted - well, their presentations weren't worth tweeting - but that's just my experience). Furthermore, at previous conferences, I've interpreted the request to turn off my cell phone as meaning to turn off the sound; it would be nice if that were clarified in both the policy and the announcements.
Thanks Tonia & Thomas.ReplyDelete
I initially interpreted the turn off request to mean silence but as the announcements kept coming (and some were much stronger than others) it really felt like they meant what they were saying and, from the comments here, others also did. I should also mention that of the sessions I attended, there was rarely a monitor making the announcements. They were made by the speakers who mostly prefaced it with "we've been told to announce" type statements. It really didn't seem to be their personal policy.
I found it interesting that the only session I attended that I can say for sure there was no mention of turning off anything was Anne Roach's Tech Tools & Gadgets. At the time I just thought - of course the RootsTech chair isn't going to make that announcement.
I agree with you both that a speaker should have the option to prohibit the use of social media for their presentation (although if they are confident in their presentation and abilities as a speaker I don't know why they wouldn't want the free publicity).
Photography is another issue that I actually forgot to mention. Most of the time, we were told the use of cameras was prohibited. Sometimes there was a reference to "personal" photography which some of us discussed and weren't sure about. If we wanted to take pictures to use on blogs is that personal? I can see why speakers wouldn't want flashes randomly going off during their presentation but maybe it could be limited to no flash photography.
The bottom line is the policy needs to be clear and it needs to be consistent in print, online and verbal announcements.
While the policy at this conference was confusing and contradictory, it sounds as though NGS is listening and that we should be seeing a shift/evolution toward a policy of "social media OK if OKd by speaker; noise not OK." Overall, encouraging. Excellent conference report!ReplyDelete
Regarding photographs, I thought there were plenty of opportunities to take photos of the speakers before and after their presentations, without interrupting their presentations.ReplyDelete
I agree that flash photography would be annoying during the session for both the speaker and the audience.
And standing up to take a photograph of a speaker in the middle of the session, such as was done during the opening ceremony would be quite annoying for audience as well (even without flash).
Regarding cell phones, I took it to mean the noise was the issue and not the prohibition of social media like twitter. It was unfortunate the number of people who forgot to silence their phones. If it was meant to mean no twittering, wouldn't they have said no iPads and laptops as well?
Ginger - I was in a couple of sessions where laptops/netbooks/tablets were specifically mentioned.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 20, 2011 at 7:26 AM
I was not at NGS, so I cannot say with certainty, but a policy against photographs during a session could also be a way to discourage people from taking photos of every Powerpoint slide. It has happened to presenters. Taking a photo of one or two to supplement note-taking is fine, but all of them? Not so much. (And it was not a matter that the attendee had difficulty writing.)ReplyDelete
Amy - That's a good point about photos and maybe a good reason to not allow them at all. I don't have a problem with not allowing photography. The wording about no "personal" photography was just a little confusing and as with every other part of these announcements - it wasn't always mentioned. I know one or two of us discussed it at the time wondering what constituted personal photography - or really what constituted non-personal photography.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
While I am disturbed about this organization not following its own social media policy, I would have been outraged to have been told to turn off my netbook. This is my primary notetaking device. Did they tell people they couldn't take notes with a pen and paper, too? I don't think I would want to attend a conference where the organizers are NOT tuned in to needs of the attendees.ReplyDelete
Susan - Did you see NGS's response early in the comments? Apparently, the whole thing was a misunderstanding and oversight in updating the announcement scripts. I'll be anxious to see what happens next year in Cincinnati.ReplyDelete

MORE BAD THAN GOOD IN IRAN NUCLEAR AGREEMENT: Iran has 440 pounds of weapons-grade uranium that can be made into an atomic bomb in only weeks; it has enough low-enriched uranium for eventual construction of four more nuclear weapons; it has about 18,000 centrifuges that enrich uranium - 10,000 of which are currently operating; and it is within one year of completing a heavy-water reactor that will immediately produce plutonium, a fissile material immediately ready for a nuclear weapons. On the other side, the world has imposed about $120 billion in sanctions on Iran.
The six-month agreement reached on Saturday between Iran and the group of six countries comprising the world's greatest powers will require Iran to eventually neutralize its weapons-grade uranium, delay further enrichment of low-grade uranium, halt installation of additional centrifuges, and allows continued construction of Iran's plutonium-producing reactor but precludes installation of key components. The U.S. agreed to lift sanctions on Iran in the form of $7 billion in immediate cash from exports and another $5 billion by releasing some of Iran's funds frozen in foreign banks. The powers also agreed that no additional sanctions would be imposed for six months.
The good: After three decades of virtual isolation, Iran is actually talking to the rest of the world. The agreement gives all parties six months for further improvement of relations and possibly more curtailment of Iran's nuclear ambitions. And it may encourage Iranian moderates to push for the country to rejoin the civilized world.
The bad: The agreement doesn't adequately describe the verification process; doesn't stop construction of the plutonium-producing reactor; doesn't require Iran to immediately rid itself of its weapons-grade uranium; doesn't require Iran to turn off any of its centrifuges; and is adamantly opposed by Israel and Saudi Arabia - the two countries most at risk should Iran develop a nuclear weapon. Further, the agreement precludes Congress from imposing additional sanctions for six months. It certainly looks like the bad outweighs the good!
POLL OF RHODE ISLAND VOTERS: Some expected and some surprising news came out of the recently-conducted PROJO/WPRI-12's poll of Rhode Island voters.
57 percent of voters think Rhode Island is moving in the wrong direction. Thank goodness Governor Chafee is a lame duck. No matter who is elected as his replacement, things will likely get better. Now if only our voters will throw out some of the anti-business, anti-jobs legislators, things will certainly improve.
It's a no-brainer that the economy/lack of jobs is the top issue that concerns Rhode Island voters. The economy garnered 57 percent of voters' concern as the top issue facing our state. Next came taxes and health care at 12 percent each, education at 11 percent, and gun control the lowest at only 5 percent. Though gun control was thought by voters to be the least important of the five issues, the Providence Journal - with its anti-Second Amendment agenda - gave the gun control issue equal headline billing on the front page along with the economy issue. Disregarded were the higher-concern issues of taxes, health care and education.
Rhode Islanders in general, not just those on Aquidneck Island, oppose tolls on the Sakonnet bridge. Only 35 percent of statewide voters support the tolls. Let's get rid of them!
What about Obamacare? More Rhode Islanders oppose it than favor it. Red states already oppose Obamacare overwhelmingly; with cobalt-blue states like Rhode Island now turning against it, the unpopular law may be doomed.
As most realized already, Providence Mayor Angel Taveras is a popular politician whose poll numbers indicate he would do a good job as governor. Of course, after the dismal performance of his predecessor, David Cicilline, it would be hard for a follow-on mayor not to be found favorable. Taveras has done a very good job and voters recognize it.
Though public service unions have tried very hard to discredit her because of her signature pension reform, General Treasurer Gina Raimondo remains popular among Rhode Island voters with the majority saying they trust her investment decisions. It shows that "doing what's right" still appeals to the majority, even in the face of nefarious union opposition that uses underhanded tactics and misleading statements. The primary showdown between Raimondo and Taveras should be interesting indeed.
Happenings in Cranston don't generally get the statewide attention of those in Providence or in state government. Nevertheless, Mayor Allan Fung's name recognition and accomplishments seem to be better known than thought. The poll showed that even in a Democrat-dominated state, Republican Fung rates only about five percentage points behind Taveras as the candidate most able to improve our economy. Fung's prospects will likely improve as more voters learn of his business-friendly record in Cranston.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE GETTING OLD WHEN...: Many of us were mesmerized in our twenties by the frenetic energy of the then-30 something Rolling Stones front man, Mick Jagger. We all thought that we and Jagger would never get old. This week it was announced that the still-going-strong Jagger is about to become a great-grandfather! Yep, when the music idol of your youth becomes a great-grandpa, you know you're getting old! But, maintaining energy and relevance like Jagger's means getting old isn't such a bad thing?
DEMOCRATS ERR ON FILIBUSTER CHANGE: U.S. Senate Democrats arbitrarily changed the rules on how many senators must be in favor before a presidential nominee can be approved. Now only a simple majority of 51 is required instead of the previous 60 that ensured input by the minority party on controversial appointments. This and future presidents will be able to pack the federal courts with far-left or far-right ideologues.
What will now stop a future senate, either Republican or Democrat, from further changing the rules to eliminate the 60-vote filibuster for Supreme Court appointees and for passage of highly controversial legislation? If America thinks the current congress is doing a lousy job, wait until congress can push through anything it wants without input from the minority party.
RHODE ISLAND EXPOSES ANOTHER OBAMACARE PROBLEM: Last week United Healthcare of Rhode Island dropped about 20 percent of its doctors from the company's Medicare Advantage network. The insurer claims the move is intended to keep the network "more focused around the needs of our members (and to) encourage higher quality health care coverage and help keep that coverage affordable for them." Perhaps the last phrase is the most telling - "keep that coverage affordable for them."
Many doctors who are being dropped from the network believe they are being pushed out because they treat a large number of patients with high-cost afflictions. Many of these patients will opt to change insurance companies and keep their doctors rather than change doctors in order to stay with United. Of course, the only other major health insurance company in Rhode Island is Blue Cross Blue Shield. So, the theory is that United will profit from high-cost patients leaving while Blue Cross will suffer by taking them on. But, not only does United profit, their remaining patients also profit since United can keep its costs down and charge remaining patients less for insurance.
How does this apply to the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)? It points to a way that healthcare insurance companies can get around one of the primary provisions of the law. Obamacare requires insurers to take on all patients, even those with very costly preexisting conditions. United's procedure of dropping doctors with high-cost patients from its Medicare Advantage network will likely be adopted by Obamacare insurers. The law says insurers can't refuse a high-cost patient but it doesn't say an insurer can't drop a doctor who treats high-cost patients from its network. It's just another glitch among many in the president's unworkable plan.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: Steve Tobak, a former executive in the technology industry, in a Sunday Providence Journal commentary piece about the blatant lies that led to congressional passage of Obamacare, stated: "I wish this was just about lying, dishonesty, and accountability. To me, it goes way beyond that. To me, and apparently the Merriam Webster dictionary, this is fraud: 'Fraud (noun): deceit, trickery; specifically: intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right.' If a CEO or CFO of a public corporation pulled something like this, it would be fraud. The only difference is this fraud was committed against the American people."
The State pension system clearly needed reform,but not Raimondoform. From the beginning,Raimondo had her personal poltical interests ahead of reform (witness the obscene amount of money she has raised from the financial sector). Clearly,the absurd COLA of 3% had to go. Linking Cola's with those granted to Social Security makes sense,and would be impossible to argue against. The phony cart and pony charade she had leading up to the reform was a joke. She had her plan from the start,and the meetings and board were a smokescreen.The system was underfunded without doubt,but individuals participating in it (I'm not in it),paid their contribution every pay period. But many communities in it skipped their contribution over the years. Could she please tell us who they were and who authorized the lack of contribution.
The legislature clearly wanted to put this behind them,with little thought to it's benefit,or a potential legal challenge.
How about this idea for for reasonable reform. Those already in the system,would retain the benefits,except the COLA's would be linked to Social Security increases. All new empoyees as of a date fixed,would contribute 10% of their pay,matched by a 10% contribution by those in the system. The money is invested in funds the employee is comfortable with (similar to the defined contribution plan). At the end of service, the State,or participating community has no further involvement with the retirees pension. This should make Raimondo's friends on Wall Street do back flips.
Raimondo has a huge political ego. If she truly wanted to see the system fixed,she would run for a second term as General Treasurer. But we will no doubt hear,"I can do more good as Governor". A line as phony as everything she has said to this point in her career..

A 27-year study has shown that the negative effects of climate change are increasing the mortality rates of Magellanic penguin chicks in Argentina.
The Earth's changing climate has increased the frequency of extreme weather events around the world, such as droughts, storms, abnormally high or low temperatures and wildfires, which have led to the decline of many flora and fauna species, including the Magellanic penguin.
A recent study, published in the online journal PLOSone, followed 3,496 Magellanic penguin chicks in Punta Tombo, Argentina, between 1983 and 2010. In this area, there has been an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events, which were found to be increasing the mortality rate of young Magellanic penguins. Professor Dee Boersma, who led the research, said, "It's the first long-term study to show climate change having a major impact on chick survival and reproductive success."
Extreme weather patterns can cause mortality, as the chicks can contract hypothermia. When Magellanic penguins are young their down is not waterproof, and if it gets wet an individual cannot control its body temperature. At times when temperatures are much higher than usual, some chicks may contract hyperthermia, which is also fatal. Indirectly, climate change is increasing chick mortality through starvation, as altered fish behaviour decreases hunting success for the adult penguins, which are then unable to feed their chicks.
It is estimated that the negative effects of global warming were responsible for around 7% of Magellanic penguin chick mortalities over the period of the study, while 40% were due to starvation. The authors of the report, Professors Dee Boersma and Ginger Rebstock said, "Climate variability in the form of increased rainfall and temperature extremes, however, has increased in the last 50 years and kills many chicks in some years."
The study also found that adults start laying their eggs three days later than previously recorded, which decreases the amount of time the young have to develop before the main storm season begins in November. Professor Ginger Rebstock said, "We're going to see years where almost no chicks survive if climate change makes storms bigger and more frequent during vulnerable times of the breeding season, as climatologists predict."
As well as climate change, it is also thought that several other factors have contributed to the decline of the Magellanic penguin, including oil spills, water pollution, reduced prey availability from overfishing, being caught as bycatch and disturbance from tourists.
The study also suggests that the negative effects of climate change in the region were affecting other Argentinean species. Populations of other penguin species around the world, such as the Adélie penguin, are also in decline due to decreasing sea-ice and other issues relating to altered weather patterns.

We demand that Wrestling remains a core sport of the Summer Olympics. Competitive wrestling has been in the Olympics for the past 116 years and has a thriving community of participants and supporters. There was no announcement that Wrestling was being considered for removal from the 2020 Olympic Games and this news has stunned the lead organizations and participators in the sport.
Wrestling must not be lost from over a century of Olympic history. The continuation of this sport is essential for preserving the image of the Olympic Games as an organization dedicated to hosting the most popular of international sports.
For the 2020 Olympics, Wrestling must be approved as a core sport.

I come from two generations of wrestling in a coal town of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Wrestling has always been a big sport in Pennsylvania. I gravitated towards wrestling because it was an individual sport where if you did not succeed it was because of you and you only - I liked that! I was a naturally competitive kid and wrestling became my main focus. As I got a little older, for a time I sought other things such as getting into trouble and other activities that most parents would not be proud of. I teetered on the brink of disaster, but the sport that I enjoyed so much brought me back and everything else fell to the wayside.
Every Olympics I would find out who we had running for the gold. It was important to watch them and emulate their moves. It took some of the key coaches in my life to spark that love for wrestling back in me. One of my coaches was a wrestler on the International level. My coach had wrestled all around the world and spoke 7 languages. The language barrier was not important or an issue for me. He was like a second father and taught me how he learned wrestling in Russia. He was a Russian Armenian who had friends from all around the world. He was respected by Muslims, Christians, and Jews and of every race and creed. He showed me that this was a universal sport much larger than us. He told me bits and pieces of his struggle coming to this country with nothing. He was highly educated and had accomplished many things in Russia. He came here and taught what he had become so great at and in the process made me great too.
This sport builds character and discipline. It was the love for the sport and the universal respect and brotherhood amongst wrestlers that opened my eyes. This is the only sport in the world where a person from Iran can befriend a person from the US under that same brotherhood. This is a sport that goes back in history for men and now for women. I was fortunate in being skilled enough in wrestling to go on to serve in the US Army and come out as a college recruit. I wouldn't have had a chance to get an education without the discipline I gained through wrestling. We as wrestlers don't do it for the chance to make millions. Every young wrestler today does it for that one chance, if you work hard enough to be on the top podium at the Olympic Games.

Twitter is rolling out a significant redesign to their mobile website, the one you see when accessing Twitter.com via Safari on iPhone or iPod touch, and other mobile device browsers. The new web app layout is molded around the official Twitter for iPhone app and is heavily doused in HTML5 goodness, however the menu bar has been switched to the top instead of the bottom.
We want you to be able to access Twitter no matter where you are; regardless of what device you use; or, whether you prefer to access Twitter through a mobile application or the browser. Today, we're starting to roll out a new version of twitter.com for mobile devices. This web app allows us to provide a high-quality and consistent Twitter experience on high-end touchscreen devices – whether or not an official Twitter application is available. It was built from the ground up for smartphones and tablets, which have more advanced browsers that support the latest web technologies, including HTML5.
We're not seeing the redesign on our end just yet, as Twitter has only allowed a small percentage of users to see the new layout. Word around town is that it looks and functions a lot better than the previous design, and judging from the screenshots, we get the feeling we'll all be in full agreement once it's rolled out to everyone.
Any TiPb readers out there seeing the update? Let us know what you think in the comments!

On the banks of the Saint Charles River the Bison baseball squad closed out their regular season with a 7-6 heartbreaker to Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon, to drop the series 1-2.
The Dolphins took the lead early with Chuck Opachick, Pete Clifford, Thomas LePage, and Mike McCallister coming across the plate in the first inning. Jacksonville added two more in the fourth inning, scoring Brad Simmons, and Logan James.
Freshman Taylor Merry took the mound for the Bisons and pitched 3.1 innings for the Bisons; striking out two batters. Senior Matt Schnelly pitched two innings of relief allowing only one inherited runner to score, and one hit; and striking out three.
The Bisons exploded into the game in the top of the sixth. Pinch hitter Jared Picchiottino hit a single down the left side, and right fielder Shane Simpkins was hit by a pitch to reach first. A single to center field by second baseman Clay Lehning scored Picchiottino. Catcher Eric Abend singled to second base to load the bases, and third baseman Branden Cadavid, hit a single down the right line to score Simpkins. Left fielder Allen Bolden hit a single down to left field to close out the inning, scoring both Lehning and Abend.
Senior John King would pitch a third of an inning, striking out one, and Junior Chris Burnett pitched two thirds of an inning, allowing no hits and no runs. Sophomore Brandon McClurg would close the game, pitching two innings, only allowing two hits and one run, striking out two.
The Bisons scored two more runs in the top of the ninth. With remaining shortstop Ben Williams reached first on an error by the dolphin first baseman, Casey Bond singled down the right side, and Caleb Joseph was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Shane Simpkins would single down the right line to score both Williams and Joseph.
The Dolphins replied in the bottom by loading the bases. Third baseman Thomas LePage scored the winning run.
The Bisons close out the regular season with a 28-28 overall record, and a 12-15 Atlantic Sun Record. Pitcher Brandon McClurg took the loss to drop to a 4-3 record.
Head coach Jeff Forehand told his team after the loss
"I'm proud of this team that we go down four runs we are not out. It took us some time, but it was great that we were able to pick up six."
"I know nobody wants to loose. I'm as competitive as you guys but, we got accomplished what we wanted to accomplish. 28-28 and in the tournament is great but I'm not settling for that. Us getting the opportunity to play Stetson, the number one seed, and a nationally ranked team that's a tall order but I really look forward to it."
With today's loss the Bisons received the sixth seed in the 2007 A-Sun Championship presented by Progress Energy and will take on the regular season champion and host Stetson University in the first round of the tournament. Game time is set for 6:00 PM CST on Wednesday, May 23 and will be played at Melching Field at Conrad Park in Deland, FL.

By Wesley Ratko
At a meeting of Chestnut Hill Community Association's Development Review Committee last night, the reaction was mixed to a proposal by Bowman Properties to transform the site of the old Magarity Ford dealership at 8200 Germantown Ave. into a retail and residential development anchored by Fresh Market, a grocery chain based North Carolina.
Of the some 60 people who filled the Main Level Conference Room of Chestnut Hill Hospital, roughly half raised their hands to indicate support for the project. Another half indicated they remained opposed, or at least concerned by the size and scale of the development and its potential impact on the nearby neighborhood.
Community representative and West Southampton Avenue neighbor John Beckman presented the committee with a prepared list of those concerns. The concerns were grouped into topic areas, including zoning change, traffic and parking, land use, urban design, operational issues and the community involvement process. Larry McEwen, co-chair of the Development Review Committee asked those in attendance to raise their hands if they'd contributed to the list. More than 20 people acknowledged having had some involvement.
The project, a mixed-use development that will feature space for small retail shops along Germantown Avenue and 14 condominiums above them, will be anchored by a 20,000-square-foot Fresh Market grocery store. The retail building will be five stories and more than 60 feet high and include an additional 6,500 square feet of retail space along Germantown Avenue. In addition to the commercial property, nine attached houses are planned along Shawnee Street at the rear of the property.
Current zoning for the property will prevent Bowman from moving ahead with the plan as it was presented. But rather than seek variances from the Zoning Board of Adjustment to proceed, Bowman intends to seek a change in the zoning from the current C-7 to C-3 on the site itself, which requires an act of City Council. Bowman attorney Matt McClure assured the crowd that any such action wouldn't occur until the council resumes its session in the fall.
The most persistent concern voiced by residents was the traffic impact the new project would have on the Avenue and the side streets around the property. Project manager Seth Shapiro, who is also the president of the Chestnut Hill Business Improvement District, showed a diagram illustrating traffic circulation on the site coming off of Germantown Avenue and exiting onto Hartwell Lane. To prevent traffic from circulating through the neighborhood, the proposal includes a change in direction of Hartwell Lane traffic from westbound to eastbound.
As of last night, the traffic study for this project was still incomplete.
Southampton Avenue resident Mike Gonzales expressed his concern that the project was being planned without a completed traffic study.
"What if the study shows it's too much traffic here?" he asked.
The DRC voted unanimously to send the project to every committee involved in the CHCA review process. The first of which, the Land Use Planning and Zoning Committee, meets again July 7 at 8:00 p.m.

Second link wrote:ESTP's least developed area is their intuitive side. They are impatient with theory, and see little use for it in their quest to "get things done". An ESTP will occasionally have strong intuitions which are often way off-base, but sometimes very lucid and positive. The ESTP does not trust their instincts, and is suspicious of other people's intuition as well.
The ESTP often has trouble in school, especially higher education which moves into realms where theory is more important. The ESTP gets bored with classes in which they feel they gain no useful material which can be used to get things done. The ESTP may be brilliantly intelligent, but school will be a difficult chore for them.

Rare earth minerals and related metals are a critical part of our world, yet their future is fraught with difficulties. As irreplaceable finite resources, their days are numbered. And while they're here, the people who labor to mine these minerals and manufacture the products we use face cruel working conditions in Eastern Congo, China and Taiwan.
Rare earth minerals are not "rare" in the sense that they are scarce in the Earth's crust. However, because their concentration in available mineral ores is small, it is often not economically feasible to mine them.
Ninety-seven percent of the world's supply of rare earth minerals comes from China, and it has cut back on exports, claiming it only has a 20-year supply of rare earth minerals left. Although other countries have these minerals in the ground, creating a viable rare earth mine is believed to take upward of 10 years to establish.
Importantly, any country that commits to the mining and refining process is essentially declaring anything within the vicinity a "dead zone." In China, the waters of the tailings ponds where mine waste is discharged contain a Pandora's box of toxic chemicals and radioactive elements, such as thorium, that cause cancers of the pancreas and lungs.
Because of the low concentration of rare earth minerals in the ore, they must be separated and purified, using hydro-metallurgical techniques and acid baths that lead to toxic air pollution so vile that farmers living in China's "rare earth capital" in Baotou found their pigs and cows dying horrible deaths, their vegetables failing to thrive and nearby villagers sickened from poisonous vapors.
Because rare earth minerals power our electronic devices, the demand on their production has skyrocketed over the past decade from 40,000 tons to 120,000 tons a year — so fast that we're running out. Indium, a related metal, is used as a thin-film conductor in flat-panel television screens and solar panels. According to Armin Reller, a materials chemist at the University of Augsburg in Germany, the world has, at best, 10 years before production begins to decline.
Gallium is a blue-white metal that has the unique characteristics of a very low melting point and the inability to oxidize. Gallium has many important uses, and it's essential in making liquid-crystal displays in cellphones, flat-screen televisions and computer monitors. As the market exploded for LCD displays for phones, IPads, IPods and more in the past decade, supplies of gallium have reached such a critical point that Reller projects that existing sources will be exhausted in as little as four years.
Many other rare earth minerals are expected to reach peak levels in the next few years.
Besides the problem of depletion and pollution is the question of how these elements are sourced. The Eastern Congo is a major source of tin, tantalum and tungsten used in the manufacture of cellphones, laptops, MP3 players and video game systems.
Of the 13 major mines in Eastern Congo, 12 are controlled by armed groups, essentially known as the African mafia. Some of these are owned by a Rwanda militia connected to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and others by the Congolese army as its personal bank account. Many of these mines use child labor, forced labor or other forms of involuntary servitude. According to a leading minerals expert in the region, the miners are treated like slaves without any health or safety regulations.
According to J.D. Stier, an expert on human rights issues, the Congo is currently facing the deadliest conflict in the world with more than 6 million people having died since the 1990s. In addition, the Eastern Congo is the rape capital of the world where hundreds of women and girls have been raped as a weapon to send shock, fear and submission into communities that might attempt to fight back. The minerals trade finances the violence by multiple armed groups, sustaining the use of mass rape and murder, thereby securing control of mines, trading routes and other strategic areas.
Given these issues, major questions arise as to the sustainability of our digital world, not to mention the morality of supporting the human rights and environmental degradation that these minerals engender. While it's possible that other substitutes will be found and that recycling can play some role in maintaining a flow of raw material, the overreliance on current technologies might be misplaced.
A few things to consider: (1) If all of your family's memories (photos, letters, history) are on a digital medium, you might consider making hard-copy backups for the future. (2) If you are concerned about the collateral damage to the environment and to miners, see these websites that rank businesses on their corporate responsibility: www.raisehopeforcongo.org/companyrankings; tinyurl.com/greener-stuff.
Technology offers a world beyond what we could have dreamed of just two decades ago. But it has also made us more vulnerable to a global supply chain that is not as stable as it might appear. And those who labor to supply us with the basic components for our technological gadgets rarely profit from our conveniences.
Let's play a role today in creating a more just and less vulnerable world.

This German family film was based on a book by Erich Kaestner, whose work was previously adapted for the screen in the films Emil and the Detectives and The Parent Trap.
Ten-year-old Annaluise (Elea Geissler), nicknamed Puenktchen, is best friends with Anton (Max Felder) despite the difference in their backgrounds -- Annaluise's parents work in the medical field and are quite well-to-do, while Anton's father is missing and his mother Elli (Meret Becker) has health problems and can only work part-time at a local café.
When Elli's doctor advises her to take a trip to the seashore that she cannot afford, Anton steals a gold cigarette lighter from Annaluise's folks, causing serious friction between his mother and her parents.
Meanwhile, Anton borrows the café's delivery van to head to Berlin in search of his father, while Annaluise tries to make some extra money to help her friend by performing in the subway. The story also pauses occasionally for musical numbers and mild romantic interludes among the grown-up characters.

Other than that, everything is happening."
Shia said that he is prepared to do "whatever is asked" of him by the notorious director. He's no stranger to nudity as he went full frontal in a Sigur Ros video earlier this summer.

Toyota (NYSE:TM) issued two safety recalls on Wednesday for more than 1.0 million cars related to airbag and front wiper problems.
Continue Reading Below
The recall marks its third since October involving more than a million cars.
The Japanese automaker is pulling back 752,000 Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles, noting the airbag control module for the supplemental restraint system could have been manufactured with a circuit that is susceptible to internal shorting.
That could cause the circuit to experience an abnormal current flow, which can increase heat and possibly damage the circuit. In some instances, it could lead to the front airbags and seat belt pretensioners inadvertently deploying.
Toyota is also recalling 270,000 Lexus IS vehicles due to faulty front wipers. The automaker said the wiper arm nut might not be sufficiently tight. If movement of the wipers is restricted by an external load such as heavy snow on the windshield, one or both of the wipers could break.
The recent string of recalls comes as Toyota struggles to revamp its reputation following several unwanted accelerated recalls that occurred through 2009 and 2011 and affected millions of vehicles.
While Toyota, in a statement, did not mention any injuries or deaths in this week's airbag or seatbelt recall, a spokesman told Reuters that the problems have caused minor injuries.

Nine Saints
|Oriental Orthodox (Non-Chalcedonian) perspective, which may differ from an Eastern Orthodox (Chalcedonian) understanding.
The Nine Roman Saints are credited with enculturating the Orthodox Faith in the Ethiopian Empire after its conversion by St. Frumentius in the fourth century and are widely venerated in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
Arrival of the Nine Saints
It is said that the Nine Saints arrived in Aksum, the first great capital city of Ethiopia, in 480. They came from various parts of the East Roman Empire, having fled the persecutions of the Orthodox who remained faithful to the teaching of St. Cyril after Chalcedon's acceptance of the semi-Nestorian tome of Pope Leo the Great. The most prominent among the Nine Saints were the hieromonks Abba Zemika'el, Abba Aregawi, Abba P'antalewon (Panteleimon), Abba Aftse, and Abba Gerima (also known as Yisihaq/Isaac).
Missionary Efforts of the Nine Saints
The histories of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church record that the Nine Saints lived for a time at St. Pachomius' Monastery in Egypt before continuing on to Ethiopia. After their arrival in Aksum the Nine Saints studied Ge'ez, the national language at that time, and learned the customs of the Ethiopian people. They then spread out in different directions, preaching the Gospel and establishing monasteries wherever they went. Only Abba Libanos ('Fr. Lebanon' - possibly a title derived from his home country and not his actual name) and Abba P'antalewon remained near Aksum, the later founding a church on the outskirts of this city that continues in use to this day.
Of the Nine Saints who left the vicinity of Aksum several established monasteries and churches on old center of pagan worship. In the place where a serpent had long been worshiped Abba Zemika'el overthrown the pagan cult and founded the famous Monastery of Debre Damo. Abba Aftse traveled to the once great city of Yiha, where he converted its ancient Sabaean temple into a church.
Thanks to the work of the Nine Roman Saints the Apostolic Faith was firmly planted in Ethiopia and began to use the Ge'ez language in its divine services instead of Greek. The Nine Saints were themselves responsible for having the translation of the Holy Bible, begun in the time of St. Frumentius, completed. They also had a number of the writings of the Fathers, including those of Sts. Athanasius and Cyril of Alexandria and Pachomius the Great, translated into Ge'ez.
Legacy of the Nine Saints
The Nine Saints are credited in Ethiopia with inaugurating a new era in the life of the young Ethiopian Orthodox Church. The development of the country's sacred music, liturgical life, and literature all received a boost as a result of the Nine Saints' labors and those of their disciples. One of their disciples, St. Yared (Jared), devised the tonal system of Ethiopian Orthodox sacred music and also wrote many hymns. They also enriched the original Alexandrian Orthodox foundations of the Church with a number of Syriac Orthodox artistic, liturgical, and architectural influences. To this day the monasteries and churches they founded in northern Ethiopia are centers of pilgrimage for the Orthodox faithful as well as repositories of ancient texts, relics, and works of art.

@FromSteveHowell This is them attempting to throw dark shade before they choose to declare an election. If I was crazy I'd say the ygov poll was a plant. This government is failing. Like the balrog it's trying to take the rest of us too. How did that turn out?

@Staedtler I agree she has resigned. In the real world. But this is no longer that world. Within our broken consensus we need to discover new universalities. I believe the current administration lacks the vision, belief and credibility to survive that new world. We need a new government.
