Obama phones Israeli PM to discuss Iran deal
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama has phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss a tentative deal with Iran over its nuclear program.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters traveling with Obama on Sunday that the United States looks forward to consulting with its ally Israel on international negotiations with Tehran. Earnest says the White House understands Israel's skepticism about Iran's intentions.
In an early morning announcement, Tehran agreed Sunday to a six-month pause of its nuclear program while diplomats continue talks aimed at preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
Netanyahu criticized the deal, calling it a "historic mistake" and saying he was not bound by the agreement.

Rosa Parks , nee Rosa Louise McCauley, (born February 4, 1913, Tuskegee, Alabama, U.S.--died October 24, 2005, Detroit, Michigan), African American civil rights activist whose refusal to relinquish her seat on a public bus to a white man precipitated the 1955-56 Montgomery bus boycott in Alabama, which is recognized as the spark that ignited the U.S. civil rights movement.
In 1932 she married Raymond Parks, who encouraged her to return to high school and earn a diploma. She later made her living as a seamstress. In 1943 Parks became a member of the Montgomery chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and she served as its secretary until 1956. On December 1, 1955, she was arrested for refusing to give her bus seat to a white man, a violation of the city's racial segregation ordinances. Under the aegis of the Montgomery Improvement Association and the leadership of the young pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Martin Luther King, Jr., a boycott of the municipal bus company was begun on December 5. (African Americans constituted some 70 percent of the ridership.) On November 13, 1956, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a lower court's decision declaring Montgomery's segregated seating unconstitutional, and the court order was served on December 20; the boycott ended the following day. For her role in igniting the successful campaign, which brought King to national prominence, Parks became known as the "mother of the civil rights movement."
In 1957 Parks moved with her husband and mother to Detroit, where from 1965 to 1988 she was a member of the staff of Michigan Congressman John Conyers, Jr. She remained active in the NAACP, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference established the annual Rosa Parks Freedom Award in her honour. In 1987 she cofounded the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development to provide career training for young people. She was the recipient of numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1996) and the Congressional Gold Medal (1999). Her autobiography, Rosa Parks: My Story (1992), was written with Jim Haskins.

YANKEES/RED SOX: Newtown remembered on Opening Day
NEW YORK >> Newtown police detectives Dan McAnaspie and Jason Frank, lifelong Yankees fans both, got to close for Mariano Rivera on Monday.
Shortly after Rivera had finished a press conference prior to the final Opening Day of his career, McAnaspie and Frank passed Rivera in the hallway -- both men in a bit of awe -- and took over for the future Hall of Fame closer at the podium.
"Stuff like this helps to take away from the thoughts of the tragedy from that day," McAnaspie said. "We really, really appreciate it."
The two were among about 120 Newtown first responders invited by both the Yankees and Red Sox to Monday's season-opening game at Yankee Stadium. Both teams dedicated the game to the victims of the Sandy Hook tragedy, their families and the greater community of Newtown. Pregame ceremonies featured joint honor guards of Newtown police and firefighters, as well as a moving moment of silence during which the names of the 26 victims scrolled down the center field video board. Both teams -- in fact, all teams in baseball -- sported Newtown patches on their uniforms, and Newtown ribbons were painted on the grass in front of both teams' dugouts.
Commemoration of the tragedy will continue throughout Major League Baseball this season, including "Newtown Day at Yankee Stadium" on July 7, when 3,000 children, families and members of the community will be invited to the Yankees' game against Baltimore. For McAnaspie and Frank, whose police department is still struggling to cope with the horrible memories from that day, a respite like Monday is greatly appreciated.
"It clears our minds of things," said Frank. "We realize that there's stuff outside from work ... Words can't describe how grateful we are."
Frank said he's spent more time over the last few months dealing with individual fellow officers than he ever has in his 17 years on the force, "just for the listening, the laughing ... the crying. It gets us through the days."
When asked prior to the game what he'd be thinking of during the moment of silence, Frank, his voice cracking a bit, said: "The children, the families, the victims ... I'm sure I'll be crying ... It's still, to this day, heart-wrenching. That's what I'm going to be thinking about, and I'm sure the rest of the world will be thinking about."
Players on both the Yankees and Red Sox realize they can play a small yet important role in helping some sense of normalcy return to the community.
"We cannot do much, we cannot change what happened. I wish we could," said Rivera.
"But we'll try to bring them great moments and take the tragedy away from their minds for a little bit."
Added fellow Yankee reliever Joba Chamberlain: "We play a game for a living. (What happened in Newtown) is life. If we have the opportunity to maybe make somebody smile and let them get away from something, and also honor the fact that life is really so precious, it does mean a lot to us because it affected a lot of people in our community, being so close to home. It's nice to know we can put smiles on faces in times of tragedy, and also be able to recognize them and show them what the importance of life is and what it means to all of us."
Red Sox reliever Craig Breslow, a Trumbull product and Yale graduate, visited the Sandy Hook site this winter along with bullpen mate Andrew Bailey. He participated in a baseball clinic at Newtown as well as a charity event at Chelsea Piers in Stamford. Breslow just hopes the memory of the tragedy doesn't get lost in this day and age of fast-moving news cycles.
"I just think it's important that, as we gain some distance from the event, we don't forget it, because it's such a monumental tragedy, people's lives have been changed forever," Breslow said.
"I feel like, at times, when something of that proportion happens, there's an immediate outpouring of support, then four or five months down the road, it's kind of like it's all forgotten. I think we have to remember that it's a town that has changed forever."
Shortly after the tragedy, Red Sox third baseman Will Middlebrooks took to Twitter to show his support for gun control.
"Watching Barack Obama speak about a proposal to reduce gun violence," he Tweeted on Jan. 16. "I like what I'm hearing." #ChangeComing.
On a warm, sunny day kicking off another baseball season, the gun control topic wasn't on the minds of a lot of players.
"I think I know better than to voice my opinion on that," said Breslow.
"There's validity to both sides of the argument. I think, ultimately, we need to probably avoid any kind of immediate reaction or movement and take a look at what the best way to prevent something like this would be."

Weather Blog: LRC Pattern Check
Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 blog! With quiet weather in the forecast through Thursday, today is a great opportunity to talk about Lezak's Recurring Cycle, or the LRC. The LRC is a weather pattern theory that allows for accurate forecasts to be made weeks or months in advance. In today's blog we will use the LRC to highlight some upcoming weather over the next 2+ weeks.
Let's start with a quick LRC refresher.
- New weather pattern develops around the start of fall
- Determining the cycle duration is key
- Once the pattern is set, it cycles from fall through the following summer
- Allows for accurate long range forecasting
These are the basics, if you want more info please email email@example.com
As identified last October, the current cycle duration of this LRC season is around 51-53 days. Using this cycle duration we can compare previous parts of the weather pattern to help forecast our weather in the coming weeks. We have been using the LRC here at WISN 12 since 2009 with a great deal of success!
Before we highlight a feature set to return in early August, let's use the LRC to show how the cooler weather expected this coming weekend is right on schedule.
Average highs this weekend(July 27-28) in Milwaukee are 80 degrees. Cooler than average temperatures in the 70-75 degree range are in the forecast. Depending on clouds, a couple spots may see a day in the upper 60s!
The 500mb(middle of the atmosphere) forecast map below is valid at 7am Saturday. Notice the trough or low pressure area('X') over the western Great Lakes. This trough will allow 'cool' temperatures to overspread the area.
Using our cycle duration we can look back to June and find when this part of the pattern last occurred. The archived 500mb map below is from June 6. Again the trough was in place over the western Great Lakes. Even the small upper level low off the California coast is present!
Now let's project forward and look at the forecast into the start of August. The map below is a medium range forecast map from the GFS computer model projecting out 288 hours. What does that mean? Often it means this far out the model is not very accurate and filled with errors. However, using the LRC and knowing the pattern we can determine if the forecast map below may be on the right track.
The key feature on the map below is the ridge or high pressure area pushing into the middle of the country. Ridges in the central U.S. often lead to warm or hot temperatures in the summer.
Comparing the forecast map above to the previous cycle shows the ridge in place during mid-June. The 500mb map below is valid on June 14. As the ridge arrived in southeast Wisconsin warmer temperatures resulted.
Once again warm/hot temperatures are expected as the ridge nudges into Wisconsin. The warm-up should start to occur around August 4-7. This period will likely produce at least one 90 degree day. As the warm/hot weather returns a few showers and thunderstorms may ridge along the edge of the heat landing here in southeast Wisconsin. Cooler weather will return after this warm spell, so no extended heat wave is anticipated.
Using the LRC, the first 15 days of August should produce above average temperatures in Milwaukee.
After mid-August the weather pattern will likely move into a transitional phase, when projecting long range becomes difficult. Once the new pattern is set we will work very hard to determine the new cycle duration, locate the position of long term longwave ridges and troughs, and finally put that information together to make the winter forecast! An exciting 3 months ahead!
For the latest weather information watch WISN 12 News at 4:30-7am, and 5, 6, & 10pm. Follow me on Twitter for weather updates throughout the day @jnelsonweather
Have a great day!

Upgrading and replacing computers over the years can leave you with a stockpile of unused components. If you have an old hard drive lying around, then rather than leaving it to gather dust, you can put it to good use as an external hard drive.
While there are already quite a few hard drive cases on the market that will accommodate an internal laptop hard drive, the Enermax Jazzmate stands out from the crowd thanks to some very handy features that its competitors have left out.
The first thing you notice about the case is how small it is - not much bigger than the 2.5-inch hard drives it can hold. This turns it into a very useful portable drive that you can carry around with you without much trouble.
The casing is so much smaller than the other hard drive enclosures you'll come across because of its 'Cooling Plus' mesh design, which allows air to flow freely through the case, efficiently cooling the drive.
Another nice feature of this case is that you don't need to screw or unscrew anything. You simply unlock the case, slide off the top and place your hard drive inside. It's so simple to add and remove hard drives that you can swap them at will – ideal if you have a number of otherwise unused drives going spare.
Adding hard drives couldn't be easier, and it only took a couple of seconds to fit a hard drive, close the case, plug it into the computer and then access the files.
Even better, the Enermax Jazzmate comes with a USB 3.0 cable. Plugging this into a USB 3.0 port gives fantastic speeds, almost comparable with internal drives.
The price is impressive as well – if you've already got a spare hard drive you can have a fully functioning large capacity external drive for only £20. If your laptop refuses to boot, this is a very affordable way of recovering your files – just take out the drive, insert it into the Jazzmate and connect it to a working PC.

The Forevermark diamond brand from the De Beers Group is developing a television commercial for its new ''The Center of My Universe™'' product concept to celebrate ''the woman,'' a unique and beautiful woman who is the central force in ''the man's'' life. Charles Stanley, the president of Forevermark U.S., explains how the concept will be marketed heading into Christmas season 2012. Forevermark will also offer the commercial to its retail partners in multiple lengths to run in local markets on television, in movie theaters, online and in-store.
On a national level, Forevermark will feature the spot in a variety of high-impact digital video placements, including Full Episode Players and top network websites. The Center of My Universe product concept provides ''a twist on a classic design,'' according to Stanley -- the halo setting. The Center Of My Universe will create an emotional focus, meaning and relevance around this design motif that is anchored in the strength and brilliance of one central Forevermark diamond.
The Center Of My Universe concept is based on the idea that a woman is the core of her family's life, keeping the thousands of tiny elements that make up their world in motion. Forevermark has reserved premium commercial placements for jewelers in more than 2,200 movie screens during NCM's FirstLook pre-show program during the Christmas holiday season. Each theater was carefully chosen for its proximity to Forevermark jewelers, as well as its high attendance and high household income demographics.
Forevermark officially launched in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2011. Stanley discusses how the diamond brand has achieved its targets so far and addresses how consumers are becoming increasingly aware of where diamonds come from.

Causes of DDH
What causes Hip Dysplasia?
The exact cause(s) are not known. However it is widely believed that hip dysplasia is developmental. This is because hip dysplasia is known to develop around the time of birth, after birth, or even during childhood. This is also why hip dysplasia is often referred to as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).
It is currently believed that infants are prone to hip dysplasia for the following reasons:
Hip dysplasia is approximately 12 times more likely when there is a family history.
Genetics plays a role, but is not a direct cause of hip dysplasia.
- If a child has DDH, the risk of another child having it is 6% ( 1 in 17 )
- If a parent has DDH, the risk of a child having it is 12% ( 1 in 8 )
- If a parent and a child have DDH, the risk of a subsequent child having DDH is 36% ( 1 in 3 )
The baby's womb position can increase pressure on the hips
The positioning of the baby in the womb can cause more pressure on the hip joints, stretching the ligaments. It's thought that babies in a normal position in the womb have more stress on the left hip than on the right hip. This may be why the left hip tends to be more affected.
Babies in the breech position are more likely to have hip instability than babies in a normal womb position and have an increased risk of DDH.
Normal womb position.
Breech womb position.
Babies with fixed foot deformity or stiffness in the neck (torticollis) have slightly increased risk of hip dysplasia. This may partly be due to limited space in the womb from these deformities.
Also, around the time of birth, the mother makes hormones that allow the mother's ligaments to become lax (stretch easier) so that the baby can pass through the birth canal.
Some infants may be more sensitive to these hormones than others, allowing for excessive ligament laxity in the baby. Girls usually have more ligament laxity than boys and girls are 4-5 times more likely to have hip dysplasia than boys.
The bones of an infants hip joint are much softer than an adult hip joint
It is easier for an infant's hip to become misaligned (subluxate) or dislocate than an adult hip. This is because an infant hip socket is mostly soft, pliable, cartilage. Whereas an adult's hip socket is hard bone.
Illustration of an infant hip joint that's still developing. The brown areas represent dense bone, where the grey areas represent soft, pliable cartiledge.
Illustration representing an adult hip joint. Note how the grey areas that were present in the infant joint are now completely replaced by hard bone.
Infant positioning during the first year of life
Cultures that keep infants' hips extended on a cradleboard or papoose board have high rates of hip dysplasia in their children. Cultures that hold infants with the hips apart have very low rates of hip dysplasia. For this reason, swaddling with the hips extended during the first few months after birth should be avoided, and a hip-safe method should be used.
Picture of a mom carrying her child in a back sling. Her babies hips remain spread (wrapped around her mother's back) keeping the hips is a safe position.
Picture showing how a papoose board (or cradleboard) is used. The child's legs are kept close together, extended, and tied down tightly by the wrap on the board.

A historical perspective
For additional background information on causes of hip dysplasia, the IHDI has made the following, long-lost, feature-length video about a study done for hip dysplasia in Saskatchewan Native Americans.

Following several months of discussions and planning, the principals of the schools in the Little Hawkeye Conference – which includes Knoxville, Pella and Pella Christian High Schools – voted Wednesday to admit Dallas Center-Grimes into the league.
Pella High Athletic Director Dale Otte says while the addition certainly benefits the other Little Hawkeye Conference schools, the move also meets the growing needs of the Dallas Center-Grimes district.
"DC-G is a growing school district, so they were especially looking for lower level opportunities that they weren't quite getting in their other conference. We're talking about freshman 'A/B' games, middle school games and even some sophomore/JV-type games," said Otte. "Some schools couldn't quite match that, and we have several school in our conference – if not all – that can match those opportunitys for [Dallas Center-Grimes]."
The departure of South Tama from the league last school year reduced the number of members to seven, and Knoxville High School Athletic Director Randy Wilson says the return to an eight-team league will make for a higher level of competition across all sports.
"To have eight schools is going to make the conference track meet more competitive; [and] the conference cross country meet. We should be able to get back to having a traditional conference-style wrestling tournament," said Wilson. "With the addition of DC-G and what they will bring to the table, it's going to make a very tough, very competitive conference."
Pella Christian High School Activities Director Brad Engbers says they're happy to add another strong competitor to the conference, despite the fact that it will put another team toward the top of several sports.
"As the smallest team in the conference, some may think, 'oh, what's this going to do for Pella Christian, playing schools that are two and three times our size,' but our kids and coaches want to compete, and we feel like we put teams on the floor or field that are competitive," said Engbers. "We're just happy to have another team that has the same passion for quality athletics that we do."
The addition of Dallas Center-Grimes to the Little Hawkeye Conference will also help make scheduling easier by reducing the number of non-conference games each school has to add to their schedule. The Mustangs will begin conference competition in the fall of 2013.

Something found.
Down at my mom's recently, I noticed a couple of these glass globes floating in the fish pond next to her porch and asked her what they were.
She told me Dad had found them when he was stationed in Korea back in the early '70s, and that they're glass floats from old fishermen's nets.
I liked the thought of Dad halfway around the world in his early 20s, finding these things which were no longer useful, but thinking they were neat and unusual enough to keep a few, so I asked Mom if I could take one home to keep on my desk.
Three pictures of my dad
With Kelsey now free of the Windows machine, I finally got around to setting it up in our back room, mostly so I can use the flatbed scanner. (The old Microtek parallel port never played well with the Linux machine, and I can't justify buying a newer, nicer scanner at the moment.) I've had some old pictures of Dad I've been wanting to preserve electronically for awhile now, so I used a couple for today's test run of the reinstalled software.
The first two are from Dad's time in the Air Force.
The first one's labeled on the back in Mom's handwriting: Rich – basic training. Amarillo 1968 or W. Falls 11/68.
That makes my dad 21 years old. (Unless it's before 5/5/68, in which case he's 20.)The funny thing is, I look at this picture and see, well, my dad. Even though he's just over half my current age in this photo, I can't see him as just a couple years removed from being a teenager. Not that he looks old, but I can't mentally detach the future Rich Booth from the one standing here under the Texan sky.
I was two-and-a-half years from coming into the world when that picture was taken. This one's from a few years later:
Ah, the classic "Take a picture of me taking a picture! It'll be great!" (Funny: I have a very similar Polaroid picture from the early 1980s of my friend Mike shooting toward me with his Polaroid camera. The gag never goes out of style, right?) This is South Korea, and though it's an undated shot, the location means it's got to be somewhere between November 1970, when I was born, and 1972, when Dad came home and left the service. (Update 4/13/10 – According to mom, Dad left for Korea in late July of 1971, was home the month of Feb 1972 on leave, and home for good in Aug. of 1972, so there are two six-month windows when this picture could have been taken.)
And yes, those hills do look like the ones in M*A*S*H, don't they?
I'm still a little fascinated by the black and white pictures Dad and his friends took while they were overseas. (And I'm grateful to my mom for her vigilance and organizational skills, because we've got a well-organized collection of meticulously labeled and dated photo albums that make feeding my nostalgia cravings easy.)
I had those two sitting around waiting to be scanned for a long time, but I just dug up the third picture this afternoon because it came to mind recently after reading this post about E.T. – The Atari Game. (I also listened to the Retroist podcast on this particular movie/merchandising juggernaut not too long ago.)
Now, I'm pretty sure my little brothers got this cartridge for Christmas, 1982 – I have a picture of them wearing their footie pajamas and excitedly holding the silver-and-red Atari game box over their heads – and I'm also pretty sure that's the same Christmas I got my first camera – that Polaroid instant I mentioned earlier. That would explain why I have a bunch of weird, staged, fairly pointless pictures that all seem to reflect a pretty small time window.
Case in point – this picture of Dad celebrating the triumph of being the first person in the Booth house to beat that effing E.T. game. I totally put him up to this pose, because, you know, I could take a picture of it!
Now, what's kind of weird about having picked these three pictures is that Dad is clean-shaven in all of them, despite the fact that he had a moustache for pretty much his entire adult life. (This time in the early 1980s when he decided to shave it off? He grew it back as soon as someone said he looked like his brother, my Uncle John. His significantly older brother.) In fact, outside of seeing these photos, it's really hard to remember Dad without his moustache.
I can remember taking this picture, and having having Dad stand there in front of the fireplace. And since the Christmas decorations are still up, I deduce two things: 1) It's probably no later than the first or second week of January, 1983 and 2) We must have played the hell out of E.T. for those first few weeks we had it, because I remember that it felt like it took for-freaking-ever for someone to finally win at the damn thing.

Would you lug around a tablet nearly twice as heavy as the competition if it meant the thing was virtually indestructable? If you're prone to gadget disasters, then you just might like the Android-powered Panasonic Toughpad A1.
Slashgear says the Honeycomb tablet is powered by a dual-core Marvell process running at 1.2 GHz, 1 gigabyte of RAM, 4G data and a 10.1-inch screen, the IP65/MIL-STD-810-rated Toughpad A1 can withstand water, dust, four-foot drops and freezing temperatures. But it also weighs 2.13 pounds which makes this thing a certifiable tank of a tablet. Add it's considerable ugly factor, and you'd have to have a serious need for one of these things.
Pricing and release date are still unknown, but along with the A1, Panasonic also plans to release a 7-inch version dubbed the B1. [Panasonic via SlashGear]

Fighting the French
A New ConceptProduct Code: B0074EU
Book Description
Nowadays the French Defence 1...e6 is one of the most popular openings in response to 1.e4. I'd like to suggest a new concept of combating it.
White plays 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 and then deploys his pieces according to the scheme Ngf3, Bd3, c3, 0-0, against almost anything that Black may play. This will usually lead to exchanges in the centre and the appearance of an isolated queen's pawn for White.

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake will play its second match of the 2013 MLS season on Saturday, when it faces Eastern Conference foe D.C. United at 5:00 p.m. MT at RFK Stadium. The Claret-and-Cobalt seek its first win in the nation's capital, having gone 0-4-3 in seven previous MLS matches in D.C., along with a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup loss in 2010.
Saturday's match will be broadcast live on ABC4, ESPN 700 AM and 102.3 La Gran D/1600 AM. ABC4 will air the 30-minute Ford Postgame Show immediately following the match; ESPN 700 will begin its pregame coverage at 4:00 p.m. MT and will air an hour-long postgame show immediately after the final whistle.
The Claret-and-Cobalt ride into Saturday's match on a high following a pair of late goals from FW Alvaro Saborio on Sunday to defeat 2012 Supporters' Shield champion San Jose Earthquakes 2-0 in the team's season opener. The Saborio double improves RSL to 31-5-5 all-time in games in which the Costa Rican scores, giving him 55 goals in 93 career RSL matches. The game-winning goal was Saborio's 20th of his RSL career, coming in his 16th multi-goal match for the club.
For the second consecutive season, RSL snapped an extended home unbeaten streak at the home of the defending Supporters' Shield champion with a two-goal victory (3-1 win at the L.A. Galaxy to snap its 26-game home unbeaten run in the 2012 opener). The Claret-and-Cobalt will look to do it again on Saturday at D.C., which hasn't lost at RFK Stadium since opening day last year – a run of 16straight home games without a loss.
RSL GK Nick Rimando and MF Kyle Beckerman each hit career milestones in Sunday's win, with Rimando becoming the second player in MLS history to register 100 regular season shutouts and Beckerman becoming the 20th player in league history to hit 300 career regular season appearances. Additionally, DF Tony Beltran became the 10th player in RSL history with 100 career starts.
Rimando trails only unsigned GK Kevin Hartman on the all-time regular season shutouts list, sitting 12 clean sheets behind the former L.A., Kansas City and Dallas 'keeper. RSL will honor Rimando's accomplishment in a special pregame ceremony ahead of the Claret-and-Cobalt's home opener against the Colorado Rapids at Rio Tinto Stadium on March 16 (fans encouraged to arrive early prior to the 4:00 p.m. MT kickoff).
Beckerman is the seventh player with RSL ties to reach 300 career regular season appearances. The Claret-and-Cobalt captain joins Jeff Cunningham (365), Chris Klein (333), RSL Head Scout Andy Williams (332), Rimando (320), Carey Talley (315) and RSL Head Coach Jason Kreis (305) as current/former RSL players in the exclusive club.
RSL won 1-0 in its lone meeting with D.C. United in 2012, riding a second-half Will Johnson header to down the Black-and-Red, 1-0, in a lightning-delayed match at Rio Tinto Stadium on Sept. 1, 2012.
Real Salt Lake will again be without regular starters MF Javier Morales (R Lateral Meniscus Injury), DF Nat Borchers (R Quad Surgery) and DF Chris Wingert (R Metatarsal Fracture) due to injury. RSL MF Ned Grabavoy will again miss this weekend's match to attend to family issues. For D.C. United, perennial All-Star Dwayne De Rosario will miss the match while serving the second game of a two-game suspension picked up for an incident in a preseason match.
The Claret-and-Cobalt will return to Utah on Sunday for a week of training ahead of its March 16 home opener at Rio Tinto Stadium against Rocky Mountain Cup Presented by Mark Miller Subaru rival Colorado Rapids.

RSL History v. D.C.
Real Salt Lake leads its all-time series with D.C. United 6-5-4. Despite its winning record against D.C., RSL has struggled in matches at RFK Stadium, posting a 0-5-3 record in eight all-time MLS matches in the nation's capital, with a 0-1-0 mark in U.S. Open Cup action.
RSL won its only match against D.C. in 2012, getting a 48th minute goal from former RSL MF Will Johnson to down the Black-and-Red 1-0 in a lightning-delayed match at Rio Tinto Stadium on Sept. 1. That game was suspended in just the fourth minute, with the delay lasting a total of 84 minutes.

The inaugural Bellator heavyweight champion Cole Konrad (7-0 MMA, 5-0 BFC) is back for an encore. He won't have to defend his shiny new belt just yet, but he's back in the fray, nevertheless.
Konrad is set to face his stiffest test to date Saturday in a non-title affair against Paul Buentello (29-13 MMA, 0-0 BFC) on the main card of Bellator 48. The event takes place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. and airs live on MTV2.
The fight was initially supposed to happen in April 2011 at Bellator 42 in the aftermath of Konrad's season three tournament final win over Neil Grove.
Bellator champions take fights outside their title stranglehold periodically in order to bide time while contenders emerge from the various tournaments.
In Konrad's case, the impetus is also to challenge him incrementally while he continuing to mature as a prospect.
The aforementioned veteran Buentello was pegged as the man to provide the next test. However, "The Headhunter" was eventually forced to withdraw due to a back injury.
Konrad's patience has been tested ever since.
"Ten months is a long time," Konrad told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). "I prefer to fight every eight weeks if I could."
As soon as he found out the fight was off he immediately put the brakes on and took a step back not knowing whether the fight would be rescheduled or exactly what the future would hold.
"I took about three weeks (off after the disappointing news) and then I jumped into a camp with Pat Barry for his fight with Cheick Kongo," Konrad said. "Pretty much when that fight was finished I was ready to go on my training camp. I've been able to keep the training going kind of in cycles, with some different peaks and some different times off. It was good for me mentally and physical. It kept me hungry."
Despite the mileage accumulated by the 37-year-old Buentello, he remains a credible foe at this stage in the game.
Buentello is a tough, powerful brawler with names like Alistair Overeem, Tim Sylvia, Andrew Arlovski, and Ricco Rodriguez scattered throughout his resume.
"Paul has the biggest name out of anybody I have fought," Konrad said. "He's done the most. He has the most credentials. He brings the most experience, which is always dangerous."
"Respect your elders" is clearly a mentality that also extends to the sport of MMA. Konrad is fully aware of what stands in front of him. He respects Buentello as an opponent. He's just not going to approach him any differently from a mental perspective than he did against the Rogent Lloret's or the Damian Grabowski's of the world.
"I wouldn't say I look at it any more difficult than any other fight," Konrad said. "I approach everything the same mentally. I'm just excited. I'm ready to go. I usually rise to the level of my competition. I think you'll see the best out of me that you've seen so far."
The two-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion has made a rather smooth adaptation to MMA so far in his young career. Win or lose, he knows he still has a ways to go to round out his overall game.
It's easy to forget he began his professional career just a year and a half ago. Since then it's been a constant battle to continue to evolve and push the envelope. Some areas are further along than others.
In the meantime, if a formidable test arises with an outcome hanging in the balance, he's comfortable knowing his well-documented wrestling skills can get him over the hump if need be. That's his safety net.
"I still train my wrestling a lot," Konrad said. "I train my striking, obviously a little bit more because I need more work there. I'm not going to let my strength go just to get better in some other area. I work on my wrestling. I work on my transitions from punches into takedowns. I'm not going to get away from my base.
"That's my biggest pet peeve, when all the sudden someone who's good and successful in one area tries to switch over to another area and starts getting beat for no good reason. It doesn't make any sense. I'm out there to win, so I'm going to do whatever I have to do to win."

Many of my Enterprise customers ask how they can use Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) to automate the production of common derivative files from their InDesign files. Derivative files, you ask? InDesign files often represent the "source of truth" for many business documents, from manuals to data sheets to publications and many more types. These documents must be transformed from InDesign into something else (hence the term derivative) in order to be made available on a web site, for instance. The usual method is to export a PDF from InDesign and then upload the PDF as a new asset into the repository. This puts added burden on the author of the InDesign file as well as introducing the possibility of error due to incorrectly set PDF job options. This gets even more complicated if the author must make versions suitable to send to a commercial printer as well as a version that's optimized for reading online as a PDF. This article provides techniques to automate the production of a web-optimized and print-optimized PDF from any InDesign file that appears in AEM Assets.
This article assumes that you have access to Adobe Experience Manager Assets and InDesign Server. In this example, I use AEM 6.1 and InDesign CC Server 2015, but the technique should work with AEM 5.6.1 and higher and ID Server CS6 and higher. You need to ensure that you have configured your AEM Author environment to work with InDesign server according to the documentation found here. The foundation of any successful integration (beyond configuration!) is the combination of Scripts, Workflow Models, and Workflow Launchers.
You can download a package that contains the scripts and a workflow model you can use today. When you install the package, you will have new scripts located at /etc/dam/indesign/scripts and /etc/workflow/scripts. You will also see a new Workflow Model located at /etc/workflow/models/dam/. The Workflow Launcher must be reconfigured, since I didn't want to disrupt your existing workflows after you install the package.
Scripts tell AEM or external applications what to do, and they form the basis of any InDesign Server-based solution. There are two sets of scripts used here: one set for InDesign Server to generate the PDFs and the other for AEM to move the resulting files. First, let's look at the JavaScript to tell InDesign Server what we want it to do and how we want it to respond to the request.
There are a number of InDesign Server scripts included in the basic AEM installation, and I've modified /etc/dam/indesign/scripts/PDFExport.jsx to request specific kinds of PDF from InDesign Server. In addition, the script writes the new PDF files into the InDesign file's /renditions node. These two scripts are located at /etc/dam/indesign/scripts/PDFExport_Print.jsx and at /etc/dam/indesign/scripts/PDFExport_Web.jsx. I could have easily combined these two operations into one script, but I wanted to leave you the option to easily enable or disable each one according to your requirements. You can also combine them yourself or make them fancier, responding to properties you set on the InDesign file in AEM (via XMP) and read out with InDesign Server. Here is the code for PDFExport_Web.jsx, which is almost identical to PDFExport_Print.jsx. The difference is in the value of pdfExportPreset in line 31, the filename set in line 56, and the function return value set in line 57.
//============================================================================== // Export any Indesign document as PDF //============================================================================== //==== get soap arguments ==== if (app.scriptArgs.isDefined("credentials")) { var credentials = app.scriptArgs.getValue("credentials"); } else { throw "CQ host credentials argument is missing"; } if (app.scriptArgs.isDefined("cqHost")) { var host = app.scriptArgs.getValue("cqHost"); } else { throw "cqHost argument is missing"; } if (app.scriptArgs.isDefined("resource")) { var resourcePath = app.scriptArgs.getValue("resource"); } else { throw "resource argument is missing"; } try { //==== create a temporary folder under InDesign server tmp directory to fetch and export ==== // added randomness to the folder name var exportFolder = new Folder("tmp-" + (new Date().getTime() - Math.floor((Math.random()*10000)+1) )); exportFolder.create(); fileName = resourcePath.substring (resourcePath.lastIndexOf ('/'), resourcePath.lastIndexOf ('.')); var sourceFile = new File(exportFolder.fullName + fileName + '.indd'); var outputFile = new File(exportFolder.fullName + fileName + '_web.pdf'); var pdfExportPreset = "[Web Preset]" // Set your PDF Web-ready Export Preset (joboption) here. // You can use any joboption file installed in InDesign Server app.consoleout('Fetching resource from CQ: '+resourcePath); fetchResource (host, credentials, resourcePath, sourceFile); var document = app.open(sourceFile); with (app.pdfExportPreferences) { viewDocumentAfterExport = false; } var myPDFExportPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item(pdfExportPreset); document.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, outputFile,myPDFExportPreset); // close the document document.close(SaveOptions.no); //==== remove the original resource and send the export back to CQ ==== sourceFile.remove(); //==== send file to CQ ==== var target = resourcePath.substring (0, resourcePath.lastIndexOf ('/')) + "/renditions"; app.consoleout('Posting this file to CQ: '+outputFile); app.consoleout('Posting to location: ' + target); putResource (host, credentials, outputFile, fileName + '_web.pdf', 'application/pdf', target); returnValue = "PDF for Web exported and posted successfully"; } finally { //==== remove the temp folder ==== cleanup(exportFolder); } app.consoleout('Finished PDF for Web export using '+pdfExportPreset+' joboptions');
To use these scripts, you need to have a PDF Joboptions file installed in InDesign Server to export your PDF. When you install the package, you will find a new folder at /content/dam/InDesign Server joboptions that contains two PDF Export Presets for InDesign Server. Move these two files to Applications/Adobe InDesign CC Server 2015/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/mul and then restart InDesign Server to load the new settings.
Now that we have the InDesign Server pieces in place, let's look at the AEM script. This is an ECMA script, which is very much like JavaScript, and it's located at /etc/workflow/scripts/move-pdf-renditions.ecma. I've written it as a function that's called twice, once for each PDF rendition, so it's easy to add or remove other renditions as you see fit. This script will be called from the Workflow Model, which we'll look at next. Here's the script code.
var renditionExtension = "pdf"; var mimeType = "application/pdf"; var workflowData = graniteWorkItem.getWorkflowData(); movePDF("print"); movePDF("web"); function movePDF (renditionPostfix) { if (workflowData.getPayloadType() == "JCR_PATH") { var path = workflowData.getPayload().toString(); var resourceResolver = graniteWorkflowSession.adaptTo(Packages.org.apache.sling.api.resource.ResourceResolver); var resource = resourceResolver.getResource(path); if (resource !== null) { var asset = Packages.com.day.cq.dam.commons.util.DamUtil.resolveToAsset(resource); if (asset !== null) { var name = Packages.org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils.substringBeforeLast(asset.name, "."); var renditionName = name + "_" + renditionPostfix + "." + renditionExtension; var rendition = asset.getRendition(renditionName); if (rendition !== null) { var renditionResource = resourceResolver.getResource(rendition.path); var stream = renditionResource.adaptTo(Packages.java.io.InputStream); var targetPath = asset.adaptTo(Packages.org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource).getParent().getPath() + "/" + renditionName; var assetManager = resourceResolver.adaptTo(Packages.com.day.cq.dam.api.AssetManager); assetManager.createAsset(targetPath, stream, mimeType, true); } else { log.debug("rendition " + renditionName + " cannot be found on asset " + path); } } else { log.debug("Item is not an asset: " + path); } } else { log.debug("Item does not exist: " + path); } } }
Workflow Model
There will be a new Workflow Model in your Workflows list called DAM Update Asset with PDF move located at /etc/workflow/models/dam/update_asset_pdf/. It is similar to and derived from the standard DAM Update Asset workflow that comes with every AEM installation. I have changed one existing step (Media Extraction) and added a new step (a Process step called "Move PDFs from Renditions").
The Media Extraction step is designed to convert InDesign documents to other formats required by AEM Assets for a number of key functionalities. These include generating sub-assets (images that are embedded within the InDesign file), page images, extraction of text, and metadata synchronization, among other things. Media Extraction sends the script (and a pointer to the InDesign file) as its payload to InDesign Server. InDesign Server then runs the script and returns something to AEM. It is important that you do not remove any of the existing scripts that Media Extraction launches, but you can always add additional steps. Here, we added two additional scripts to the workflow step: PDFExport_Print.jsx and PDFExport_Web.jsx
Immediately after Media Extraction, I added a new Process step that executes an ECMA script in AEM. For many users, they will access AEM Assets via their desktop using the AEM Assets Companion tool or the Creative Cloud Desktop tool, so this workflow ensures that they get the renditions they need in a place that's easy to find. Also, users of AEM Assets will be able to search for these PDFs like any other asset under management. This script copies the PDFs from /renditions as new assets adjacent to the InDesign file. It is best to leave the PDFs in /renditions so that they can be used by components that might offer the PDF as a download, for instance.
Workflow Launcher
Lastly, it is necessary to change the Workflow Launcher that is triggered whenever a file appears in the repository or whenever a file is modified in the repository. I did not include this change in the package so that you can install the package with no impact on your running system. When you are ready and have tuned the scripts for your workflow, then you can enable the Workflow in the Workflow Launcher panel.
In your AEM Author instance, click on Tools>Workflow>Launchers or visit http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/workflow/admin/console/content/launchers.html (of course, point at your Author instance!). Select the /content/dam(/.*/)renditions/original that has no condition on it (see screenshot below) and click on View Properties, and then on Edit.
The Launcher is designed to run a workflow when a specific condition is met. This workflow looks for any file that appears in the repository and then runs the DAM Update Asset workflow on it. You need to change the workflow to DAM Update Asset with PDF Move and then Save the changes.
Once you've saved the Launcher, you are ready to test. Upload an InDesign document into AEM using your preferred method. You can use drag and drop in a Browser window, AEM Assets Companion, or CC Desktop Tool. If you happen to catch the InDesign Server console, you will see new entries that report on whether IDS was successful at exporting PDF renditions. In a short while, your new PDF files will magically appear next to the InDesign file. Now, go ahead an edit that InDesign file and save it back to AEM Assets. Again, the workflow will run and new PDF files will replace the existing ones, ensuring that you always have access to the latest versions. And, since they are assets under management, you can always revert to earlier versions of the PDF by looking at the asset timeline in a browser.
This new workflow and the scripts that support it expose a new behavior for AEM Assets. While convenient for the user, since it automatically generates useful and necessary derivatives of the source InDesign asset, it enforces known good business processes by encapsulating approved PDF Export settings into he workflow. It also reduces errors by automating a task that otherwise would require several configuration steps in InDesign before they could export the PDF.
I hope that you find this useful, and that you use it as a starting point for further InDesign Server automation using AEM Assets.

Hi Everyone! Happy Halloween! Be safe, whatever you decide to do tomorrow! A couple days ago I didn't think I would have anything to blog about, but of course now, I've got plenty! My Uncle Jesse is here, visiting from Oregon and my Uncle Luis and Aunt Betty are here visiting from Nebraska! Since my sister Celia and I lost our dad when we were very young, we always loved and respected our uncles so much! You know what makes me feel great? Both my uncles have taken the time to tell Mark how much they appreciate him taking such wonderful care of their niece! Here is a fun fact - Uncle Luis and Aunt Betty got married the same day/year that Mark was born! So, come December 31, Mark will turn 49 and they will have been married 49 years! We have laughed so much and had a great time visiting with everyone! (see photos!)
Went to Moms on Monday night because Vicente turned 77! Vicente is the best! He is so supportive of me and our entire family! He always welcomes us over and we always have so much fun! He makes sure to remind mom to call Cinderella (me)! We wish him many, many more birthdays!! Saba wore her "little black dress", and Mark made Vicente a delicious German chocolate cake! Mark included some Heath chips in there, along w/drizzling some chocolate and white chocolate over the top! We had picked up pizza @ Pizza State and the Fossums joined us as well! Minus Davis of course - boo hoo! Everyone loooved the cake - outstanding job Mark!
So Tuesday after work, I was sooo sleepy, I decided to take a nap! Mark woke me up later telling me dinner was ready (my friend Olgas favorite - Brauts w/Sauerkraut and German Potato Salad). He had just walked away when I sat up and felt that my neck was wet. You guessed it! Dang your good! A BLEED! What? I had been doing so well! I should have known it was coming - see photo of puffy eye! That's usually what that means - I get a puffy eye around the time I'm due to go back to Colorado, but this is early! After a few days of sporting the puffy eye, I could tell it wasn't going to get better, so I called Rhonda in Colorado. I described the eye and she felt some steroids were in order to get rid of that! Meanwhile, she also suggested I have a bone density test, as I've been on steroids periodically now for 4 years. Are we having fun yet? Yeah, poor Mark - I was just covered in blood, so Mark had to take the allergen cover off all my pillows (since I sleep almost sitting up) and my nightgown all had to be soaked and washed.
I'm having fun w/my little Saba! I take her everywhere, and the few times I don't, they ask for her! I took Rulon to work one day and Saba was missed - the clerks @ HEB ask for her too!
Wednesday, our dear friend Terry Schneider had a Mass for our intention, so we went to ST. Pauls that evening. Thank goodness Celia called Mark on his cellphone - we had both fallen asleep and ended up being late for Mass! I was happy that Celia made it out there too - Terry includes the Fossum family in the Mass intentions as well! Rev. James Stembler always has time to talk to us for a few minutes after the Mass and offers more blessings!
So, that has been our last week or so of adventures! As always, I couldn't get through w/out my darling husband Mark! He makes me so happy and takes such great care of me! If I'm not feeling my best, he picks up my slack around here, so not only does he make dinner, but sometimes cleans up afterwards too! Woke up from a nap today (the Neuontrin makes me ridiculously drowsy) and found Mark had gone to the store, picked up my prescription and made dinner!
I thank all of you for all your prayers and well wishes - I sure need them!! Thank you Terry Schneider for all the Masses you have for our healing intentions! This is a hard journey and sometimes I don't handle this well. Last week seems everyone I saw was staring @ me or asking what happened to my face! For some reason, EVERY time there is something on the Health channel w/someone w/a huge tumor or something on their face, people feel they must tell me about it! I really don't want to hear about it - I just want to forget about mine unless I'm in pain or bleeding! I thank all of you that treat me normally and so many of the people I work with are so nice and helpful! This means you ladies in the Tax Assessors Office, Martha Sanchez in Risk Management and Connie Morgan in IT! I've mentioned them before, but they are just the best! There is another lady in the Auditors office that us super sweet, her name is Ida and she always has a kind word for me and asks how I'm doing!
If I could ask for a teeny favor of you - It would mean so much to me if you included my e-mail friend from Holland in your prayers! Marijn is going through so much - he just had his avm surgically removed and lost lots of blood! He is having embolizations now and also the hyperbaric oxygen treatment! Shalon had told me about the latter treatment and I had told Marijn. This has been very helpful to him, so thanks very much Shalon! Shalon just got back from her 9th procedure in Denver - please do keep up w/her blog and website! It's interesting how both she and I have avms on our face, yet there are different ways to medically treat us @ different stages of our avm! This past time, Shalon just got all coils (yikes!) and no alcohol! She has inspired me so much and helped me set up this blog so I can keep in touch w/all of you! Please pray for her as well - that all avm-ers will heal! Thank you for visiting with me and being part of my journey!
Love to all!

Are you kidding me?
Wednesday, October 15, 2008
Hello to all who stop by for a visit! I really hope your world is going just the way you want it! Take time to appreciate and enjoy feeling well if you do feel good today! Don't take those days for granted! Ok! Here we go!
This morning, I am sore from that fall I took yesterday! Aches and pains I didn't count on having this morning! Let me also reach back to late last night when I was trying to fill my prescription for the oxychodone extended release for pain. Originally, that prescription was given to me in CO. Well, HEB here did not want to honor it, so I had dropped it off @ my primary care physician Tuesday so he could rewrite it for me! No problem there - Mark picked up the written prescription that afternoon. Well, by the time we took a nap, got dinner, etc. - we were heading to the 24 hour Walgreens near our home to get that filled about 9pm! I had taken my last oxychodone that evening too! Turns out, they don't have but a few pills, so we were sent across town to the other 24 hour Walgreens, and by now it's almost midnight! Once we get there - the pharmacist says, she can't fill it until they fax my primary care physician a form that he needs to sign. My insurance had approved Dr. Yakes giving me this medicine, but NOT my PCP! Great! I have NO PAIN MEDS! Ok - I thought I could get by with taking the Hydromorphone for breakthrough pain to get me through while I worked, until the pharmacy could get my doctors signature and approval. So ... I went to work, took my "weak pain meds" and proceeded with my day. Lets add the fact that it will rain all day today into the mix! If anyone knows what that means around here - let me spell it out for those of you who don't! H-U-M-I-D-I-T-Y!!!! So the morning is not so bad, my friend Diana had asked me to join her for lunch and Mark would be joining us as well! So, when it's time for us to leave - I knew it was raining and I grabbed my purse and umbrella - completely forgetting my wound care bag! Soon as we stepped out of the building, it felt like a sauna out! The heat and humidity was almost too much! We head to the restaurant, Mark is already there and we place our order. We hadn't been there 10 minutes, when Diana gets all excited and starts pointing to me - right away I suspect the worst! Of course! I'm bleeding! I grab a napkin and put it to my wound area and get Marks attention to help! Of course we know that I left my wound care bag under my desk @ the office! Let's also add that my left ear is hurting and the tube in there is clogged and all I can hear is the muffled sound of my pulse constantly. I know there are people with bigger problems - but this is just something I'm going through right now and I really have no right to complain - but I will anyway because this is my blog! Come on! I have to add some humor, ok?
So, luckily, this is not a major bleed. Diana gets up and finds us more napkins while I'm putting pressure on my face w/one hand and eating enchiladas with the other! Got the bleeding stopped soon enough - finished our lunch and we headed back to the office where Mark redressed the wound area! At this point I'm debating - should I go across town and try and get my pain meds that are finally approved and ready? Oh no - Cyndi thinks she is superwoman and can get by the next few hours just taking another dose of the hydromorphone because I don't want to have to ask my supervisor if I can leave! I don't want my employers to think I'm a hassle because of this avm! So I let another hour go by, and I've taken a Neuontrin thinking I'll be ok! Meanwhile, my hair is a big frizzy mess, so I'm feeling ugly! My co-workers can tell I'm irritable and ask me what is wrong. Bless them for even approaching me in the state I was in! Carlie and Roland laughed when I walked in their area and hissed and made a face over my pain. They are the best - they make me feel better and I appreciate their humor! I really, really, really want to try to hold out and be good and NOT disappoint my supervisor by asking to leave for the day - but I could NOT HOLD OUT ANY LONGER! There was just no way - so ... as soon as my co-worker returned from her lunch hour - I stepped into Mr. Rios office and explained my situation. He is extremely supportive and told me not to worry about what anyone else thinks, and realizes my situation and approved my leaving for the day! He added that after my fall and bleed yesterday, probably 95% of the people would have left if that had happened to them, but I stuck it out! I just wanted Mr. Rios to know that I really tried my best to make it through the day and send him a shout out for being so great about my having to leave! By the time I made it all the way across town to get my meds, I didn't get home until 3:30pm and couldn't take an oxychodone until 5pm! I took a nap when Mark got home and Mark made some wonderful comfort food for dinner! Fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and brussles sprouts! Mark is the only thing that makes me feel good (ok, besides the oxy)! Mark also picks up the slack for me when I'm feeling rotten, like today! When I'm hurting, the last thing I feel like worrying about is cleaning the kitchen or doing anything I absolutely don't have to do! To boot, it's bosses day tomorrow and Mark is making cookies to take to the office! He made choc. chip, oatmeal and peanut butter cookies!
I can't say I'm pain free right now, but hopefully by tomorrow I'll be back on track! It's the worst thing letting my pain get out of control because I couldn't get my meds! The pharmacist said I could have the meds if I paid cash - $184.00! UGH! By the time we got home after trying to get my meds - we didn't get to bed until almost 2 a.m.!
I'm including a photo of my angel Mark that gets me through these rough times! This was taken @ the Mother Cabrini Shrine in Golden, CO! When I get discouraged, Marks got the encouraging words that keep me going! All of you help me get by with your prayers that give me strength and hope! We've come a long way together and have just a little longer to go! Please stay with me on this journey and let us see the end of it successfully together!
Love to all!
Tomorrow is my very last steroid after this procedure! Boo hoo!!! Oh! How could I forget to add this! I went downstairs to get the mail while I was @ work and saw my friend Felice's dad that works in Maintenance. He saw me and came over to ask how I was doing, because he heard about what happened yesterday! Yikes! What on earth is being said? I'm sure I freaked people out with the bloody mess I made after my fall - darn it all! Tomorrow has to be a better day!

I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends!
Tuesday, October 14, 2008
Greetings to all this evening!
How is everyone? Well, I've had quite a day I thought I would share! I still can't believe what happened myself! So, it all started this morning right after I got to work! My co-worker Kathy had been out last week, just as I had, and wasn't in yet this morning - and our Supervisor Mr. Jay Rios was about to leave for a meeting @ the main office - so I needed to go down the hall and leave the phones @ my desk while I did what I needed to. I was rushing, so I could get back, when I tripped over my own shoes, just for being in a hurry! I fell forward and kept hoping I could catch myself before doing too much damage! No such luck! I'm guessing when I fell forward or from the stumble, my right big toe jammed to the end of my shoe and is now hurting! I ended up bumping into the wall, then falling backwards where I hit my knee and then landed on my behind and then on my back! Luckily, @ this time of the morning, many of my co-workers were going about their morning routines and saw what had happened to me! I know there was a man down the hall that asked if I was ok, and I remember saying, "I don't know"! and moaning in pain (and shock)! The next person I remember seeing was Connie Morgan from the IT department! I know she had a very concerned look on her face and ran to grab a handful of paper towels after telling me I was bleeding! I had a feeling that would be happening! From the impact of the fall, I started bleeding from the wound on my face. For those of you new to my blog - I have an AVM (arterial venous malformation)that I have to constantly be looking after! PLEASE VISIT MY FRIEND SHALON WHITGOBS WEB SITE FOR LOTS OF GREAT MEDICAL INFORMATION ON AVMS! YOU CAN GET TO HER SITE FROM MINE, OR GO TO: http://sites.google.com/site/shalonsavm/Home. I remember my co-worker Roland asking whether I needed help getting up off the floor. People were asking me what they could do to help - I said to no one in particular, that I needed my medical bag that was in my desk area. Immediately, my co-worker Gina McMillan ran to my desk and got my 2 totebags. I got up, took the totebags and told everyone I would be ok - I just needed to get the bleeding under control by putting pressure on the wound site. I met Martha Sanchez from Risk Management that is a sweetheart! She told me not to be concerned @ all about the bloody mess on the floor - she was calling housekeeping or someone to come clean up! I want to make sure you know that the bleeding came from the impact of my fall, but not because I actually hit the area of my face or anything. I knew when I hit the floor that hard, that I would probably have a bleed from the wound area.
My co-worker Ray Rodela was very concerned and kept asking what he could do to help. He's always told me if I ever need him to cover the phones while I need to go down the hall, he is more than willing to help! Another co-worker, Kim Escamilla came to the bathroom to check on me, and make sure I didn't need any help getting the bleeding stopped. Grace Garcia, my co-worker kept asking whether I was dizzy or needed to go home. Even the tall, young man that works down the hall came to the bathroom door to ask if I was ok! Gina took over answering the phones until I could get back to my desk, thanks so much! We have a great team of people @ Court Services Supervised by Mr. Jay Rios!
I just wanted to take this time to thank all of you for being so great in my time of need! I know now that I have nothing to worry about should this have been an actual emergency! I think it was Connie Morgan that asked if I needed her to call 911. She came in to my department later in the day to check on me. Martha Sanchez really made me feel better talking to me about some of the things going on in her life medical wise. Of course I filled out a workmans comp. form for my protection - but I think I'll be fine! Thank you so much everyone on the 3rd floor that came to my rescue - I am very impressed with how everyone came together to help!!! Normally when I have a "bleed" @ work, my friend and co-worker Diana Arredondo helps me redress the area, but she was @ the main office @ a meeting, so I was on my own this morning. I probably could have put something together from my wound care bag to cover the area, but I called my husband Mark to come help! After that darned fall, I really needed some TLC and the best one for that job is my amazing husband! He was over right away and got my wound area redressed! After a couple great hugs, I was good to go! I usually keep an extra t-shirt in the bag which I needed to change into after bleeding all over what I was wearing earlier!
A few years back I fell down @ work while I was working @ the main office, and I still have one of those walking casts (boots) - I'm wearing it now and think I'll wear it a while! At least it will slow me down some! Wish I had a photo to include of my co-workers, but I'll see what I can post for now! Thanks again everyone!
Oh! I happened to have taken Rulon w/me to work today, but already I'm being asked where Saba is! For those of you who don't know - Saba is my Therapy Build a Bear! She is named after one of the techs @ the Swedish Medical Center where I have my procedures for my avm! The real Saba is from Eastern Ethiopia and a doll!

P.S. The photo I've included, was taken outside the Whole Foods Mart in Englewood, CO! My sister Celia and I had gone for one of my treatments around this time last year and it was snowing!

False Alarm!
Friday, October 10, 2008
Hi again Family and Friends!
Well, last night we were sleeping soundly - then about 2:30 am my moisture sensor alarm went off! I immediately sat up in bed and was touching my neck area to see if I was bleeding! It's like a firedrill when the alarm goes off! I immediately get out of bed and run to the kitchen sink, while Mark goes to get my wound care bag! Mark is the one that realized it was a FALSE ALARM! We thanked the Lord for that one! It's the heavy duty steroids I'm on right now for the swelling that causes me to sweat a bit! It just turned out that the neckline where the alarm is attached was damp from my sweat and set the alarm off! At least we know it's working, huh?
Here is another photo from our trip! This is nurse Amy and she was taking care of me in Post Op!
Just thought I'd let you know the little things that happen around here during the AVM world we live in right now! Mark went off to work this morning and is doing better w/that cold he had! My left eye is still swollen, but I can see w/it a bit! I'm sure by tomorrow it will look alot better - but see in the photo how my eye was already swelling and the left side of my top lip is swollen too!
Take Care everyone and as always, we'll keep you posted on our adventures! I plan on going to moms today to hang out and help her w/some computer stuff and she'll be happy to see Saba and Rulon!

Promising News
Thursday, October 9, 2008
Hi Everyone!
Well, our adventure for our recent procedure started when we boarded the plane in Corpus Christi - before reaching our destination (Dallas) I had a bleed! Yikes! As always before one of these trips, we are going on 3 hours sleep, so I had just bumped the coffee on my tray and spilled it on us and right after that the bleed happened. Mark was able to get it all taken care of right where we sat - I told him to call the Stewardess to help! Once she saw what was happening, she took the coffee cup away from Mark and came back w/extra paper towels and wet naps!
We arrived in Denver mid-morning, picked up the car rental and headed to the hotel to change out of our clothing that had blood on it. We then took my two Build a Bears to one of their workshops for a tune-up! One of Sabas arms needed more stuffing in it, and we were changing the "recording" Celia had put in when she bought her bear originally. We decided he'll be a boy bear, but we haven't named him yet! Since he also got more stuffing (at my request), he's a big guy! So I thought of calling him Bruiser (sp?) or Rulon, after the US Wrestler that upset the Olympic Russian that had won three gold medals prior to this Olympics in Australia in 2000!
(see photo of Saba and Rulon getting some stitches open to put more stuffing in)! They both looked so great and you can't tell that they were ever opened up! Of course this service is free!
After leaving Build a Bear, we headed to Dr. Reeds Office where he makes sure my air passages are clear for that breathing tube that I need to have during the embolization! Don't forget - be looking for Dr. Reed on HGTV starting Oct. 13th @ 9pm, as they renovate Dr. Reeds Denver cottage! Dr. Reed was pleased w/how the inside of my throat passages look - so no troubles there! See photo of Shannon doing the endoscopy. Mark took a photo of us on Dr. Reeds office balcony when we first arrived.!
We picked up something for dinner @ Whole Foods and then went back to the hotel to rest! We needed to be @ Swedish Medial Center by 8am where we eventually end up in Ambulatory care to start processing me before having the embolization! Here I am w/one of the nurses in Ambul. Care - Boston, a/k/a Mary! She is always in a good mood and is always eager to help! Sue is our absolute favorite - she is hilarious and in the photo her arms are a blur! I had to get a photo in of Rick - he is the BEST Recovery Room nurse in all my hospital years! Even this time when I was put in recovery, Rick wasn't in charge of taking care of me, but came over to say hello and made sure I didn't need anything - but I needed something for pain and he got on it immediately. He is so great @ what he does and is funny too! He started telling me something that Shalon told him she would be doing on the day of my embolization. They apparently communicate on Face Book (I don't know what that is), but I asked Rick what he was talking about. I had no idea what on earth his response would be, but he said, "Oh Shalon said she is drinking a Starbucks in your honor"! Cool! Mark always brings me a Starbucks White Choc. Mocha the morning after a procedure!
Oh, to boot - there was no room @ the Inn, so I was given a choice. I could go back to the hotel, or I could stay, but would have to spend the night in Ambulatory Care! There were some poor people stuck in ICU and had to sleep there because there were no more rooms available! I was opting for going back to the hotel, but Mark was concerned that I may not be getting enough oxygen on my own and sure enough, after watching me a bit longer - Rhonda, Dr. Yakes P.A. felt I should stay overnight where they could provide the oxygen I needed. It wasn't really as bad as I thought, the only drawback being not being able to shower and get the blood out of my hair! UGH! I know I looked terrible too - my left eye was swollen shut and the left side of my upper lip was huge!
Well, I hear that Dr. Yakes used 12 cc's of alcohol during the embo - and I didn't bleed during the procedure like I did the last time. Dr. Yakes told Mark that he felt we were finally out of the Pacific Ocean and into the Great Lakes as far as my procedures go!
So Dr. Yakes came by to see me in the morning before Mark arrived, and gave me a big hug and told me he was very happy w/what he is seeing! I had an angiogram done (groin stick - eeek!), so that really shows him what 's going on w/the avm! After he left, I went over to Dr. Yakes nurse, Julie and asked if Dr. Yakes really meant what he said about seeing the light @ the end of the tunnel! She said absolutely - he was very pleased with what he saw and it wouldn't be too much longer before Dr. Yakes could do some debulking of the avm! WOW! That is great news! I don't want to get my hopes up, but it would be fantastic to get some of the mass taken out! After the debulking, is when I would have the reconstructive surgery to help me look as normal as possible! We asked about Joanna from Portugal and were told that she has already had a couple of her reconstructive surgery and is looking very well! Can't wait until I can say that about myself as well!
On this trip, Mark has been sick w/lots of coughing, so it really took it's toll on Mark! After leaving the hospital, we headed back to the hotel, I got cleaned up and then Mark wanted to change the dressing on my wound. Well, when he did that, I had a bleed! We had to wait a while to get that stopped, but so far so good @ this point! We were just happy to get home w/out any more incidents!
Oh! I had to include a photo of this nurse in Ambulatory Care named Jill - she reminds us of Rhonda Ganz, a former choir member and neighbor to Celia out on the island! The final photo will be of Saba on the plane on our way home! She got her own seat in fact, so we were all comfortable!
We thank all of you for all your love, support and prayers! I have loved writing on my blog to keep all of you updated on all our adventures in Denver on our journey to getting rid of this AVM!

Hi Everyone!
This will definitely be a happier blog than last time! The dark side of the avm has passed for now ... the steroids took effect, and as you can see from the photos, no more puffiness under my left eye! We all went out to celebrate Marks 21st birthday @ Red Lobster on Sunday! Had fun visiting with Mark and we all went to Mom and Vicente house later to play one of our favorite games - Mexican Train! I finally learned how to play and we all enjoyed having some ice cream and just visiting w/each other! We had so much fun - all this helps give me strength, knowing our family bond is so great! Vicente is always so welcoming and supportive!
I've been doing fairly well - avm wise. Had a very minor bleed here and there, and the main thing has been keeping the pain under control! Guess what time it is too? Time for us to head out to CO! We will leave on Monday and return home Thursday in the early afternoon!
We still have some loose ends to wrap up before the trip - looking forward to going and getting this darned avm stabilized some more! I want the wound area to heal already! Speaking of "wounds" - I'm thinking Saba may be having a little procedure of her own! I think she needs to be "fluffed and stuffed" a little bit - her left arm tends to hang a little looser than her right! I will call the Build a Bear place(s) in CO to see who can get her worked on when we arrive on Monday! Saba must be in her best condition - she gets compliments wherever she goes! I couldn't shake this one little girl on Monday while I was @ Wal-mart! She told me how pretty Saba was and then she had to round up her whole family to point Saba out to them! What can I say, Saba takes after me! Ha, ha, ha! Ok, I'm bobble heading over here, so I need to wrap this up!
Thanks to all who come by for a visit - we'll update this on our return from CO!
Mark & Cyndi
P.S. I must also point out that even though these trips are considered "medical", it's sooo nice to get out of Corpus Christi! Mark has been working overtime lately and of course besides his regular day job, he has the full time job of taking care of me! He's an excellent wound care therapist and especially an all around support for me! This past week we lost a dear choir friend, Smitty Leonard. He and his wife Mary Ella served 18 years in choir and Mary Ella plans to continue her choir ministry. While @ the Rosary, the people in the pew in front of us turned to tell Mark what a beautiful voice he has. Mark replied by telling them he served 21 years in choir, but that @ the moment, taking care of his wife is his ministry! Is he a Godsend or what? Couldn't do this whole AVM thing without all of you out there too! Don't ever doubt what a big part all of you play in my AVM Journey!

Mar-13-09 DCA Releases FY10 Municipal State Aid Figures
DCA Releases FY10 Municipal State Aid Figures
TRENTON - Today, the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) released municipal state aid figures for Fiscal Year 2010 totaling $1,578,973,870.
"Governor Corzine continues to make the right policy choices which have led to the smallest increase in property taxes in a decade and encouraged local governments to examine sharing services," said DCA Commissioner Joseph Doria. "While this budget is lower than the one the Governor proposed in his first year in office, it does reaffirm his commitment to maintaining essential services and protecting those in need of assistance during these difficult economic times."
On Tuesday, March 10th, Governor Corzine presented a budget that called for the largest one-year-cut in spending of any budget in New Jersey history. This marks the second consecutive year in which the budget will be reduced compared to the budget signed the previous year.
The new municipal state aid figures are available on the Department's website at: http://www.nj.gov/dca/lgs/muniaid/aidmenu.shtml.
