Psychological Medicine Service
A Welcome from Director, Kimberly Yonkers, MD
Welcome to the Yale Psychological Medicine (PM) Service Website. I'd like invite you to explore our site to learn about how we are striving to develop a state-of-art academic behavioral health service that encompasses both outpatient and inpatient services with tripartite mission of clinical care, education and research.
The Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine programs at Yale New Haven Hospital have had a long and distinguished history since their inception. Since 2011, we have re-organized all consultative and collaborative psychiatry programs at the Yale New Haven Hospital at the York Street Campus and the St. Raphael Campus under one umbrella of the Yale Psychological Medicine with the goal of striving to deliver integrated care to medico-surgical patients with behavioral symptoms.
The overarching goal of the Yale Psychological Medicine Service is to "move the field forward" to better the lives of medico-surgical patients with psychiatric comorbidity. Our specific aims can be summarized in three domains: clinical programs, educational programs, and research programs.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Former President Bill Clinton took supporters here on a stroll down "fact lane" Friday night, passionately making the case that economy is well on its way to recovery.
"People don't feel it yet. I get that. The deficit was going down three years in a row before a majority of the American people would say 'Ya, it's going down.' People didn't feel it," Clinton told a crowd of more than 2,000 people. "And the damage was much deeper this time around. I'm telling you, we are coming out of this, we are moving in the right direction. If you stay with this policy and you stay with this president and you elect Tammy Baldwin, you will feel it."
The comments come one day after GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's campaign jumped on Clinton's remark that the economy is "not fixed."
At a rally late Thursday, Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan said he agreed with the former president, and used it as an attack against the current administration's economic record.
But in remarks that lasted nearly one hour, Clinton was careful to say the economy is not "hunky dory" but stressed that the nation's economy was on the mend.
In recent weeks, Clinton has been one of President Barack Obama's most active surrogates, headlining rallies in nearly all the key battleground states. His appearance here at the University of Wisconsin Green Bay was also in support of Democratic senate candidate, Rep. Tammy Baldwin. The high profile race in the Badger State has gotten plenty of interest from outside groups who have poured millions into advertising in the state, to which Clinton warned supporters to "follow the money."
The 42nd president was particularly critical of the Super PAC Crossroads, run by Karl Rove, a former aide to President George W. Bush. "You all remember Karl Rove, don't you? Now he was part of a great economic record," Clinton said to laughter. "He's out there plugging for Gov. Romney and plugging for Tommy Thompson, and if you liked the economics of the previous 8 years, you will just love what they do. You gotta follow the money sometimes, folks."
Clinton also used his trip here to reflect on some of the pleasant memories from his own time in office, even briefly addressing his legacy. "When you have more yesterdays than tomorrows, there are only 3 things that matter: Are people better off than when you quit than when you started? Do children have a brighter future and are things coming together or being torn apart?" he said.
"The rest of it is all background music."

The two people who had the most glam hits in the 70's were two men who never even appeared on Top of the Pops.
Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn (commonly known as Chinnichap) are the songwriters responsible for the hits of the Sweet, Suzi Quatro, Mud and Smokie to name just a few. From 1973 until 1978 they had an unbroken run of hit singles. In 1973 and 74 alone they had 19 hits in the top 40 of the UK singles chart, including 5 number ones.
Both men were already in the music industry when they first met. Chinn was a part time songwriter and Chapman a musician with the band Tangerine Peel.
The two of them joined up with Mickie Most's RAK label and began writing songs for the Sweet.
With the help of the two men, Sweet had an uninterrupted string of hits over the next few years, and Chinnichap went on to enjoy equal success with Mud and Suzi Quatro, including number one's with Tiger Feet, and Lonely This Christmas for Mud and Can the Can and Devil Gate Drive for Suzi Quatro.
Smokie were the next group to benefit from the Chinnichap magic having five hit singles between 1975 and 78.
Though often accused of churning out 'mechanical' music, no one can deny the popularity of their compositions. A lack of respect at the time, and since has led to accusations of 'deliberate commercialism, degrading the standard of music' Which is a bit rich when you consider the present day music industry.
In an interview with Nigel Thomas in 1974 Mike Chapman said:"We write singles, but they're very much harder to sell than an album. Singles you've got to sell in three and a half minutes and you've got to sell it quick, and you've got to sell it good"
The duo were famous for beginning their songs with the title and then writing the song around that, for example 'Wig Wam Bam'. The songs were written rapidly, often overnight and recorded with equal speed. Later songs written for Smokie became more thoughtful and emotional, but still as catchy and tuneful.
It was only with the advent of punk rock that their star began to wane as fewer performers wanted to work with them. They continued to write hit songs well after the glam rock period had ended, such as Mickey a number one for Toni Basil and Kiss You All Over by Exile, but despite this Chinnichap eventually separated during the early 80's. Chapman turned to production with his greatest success being Blondie's Parallel Lines in 1978, while Chinn eventually left the music business all together. The only comparable songwriting partnership since with as great a success rate was the Stock, Aitken and Waterman team in the late 80's.
Tom Tom Turnaround is a song written by Chinnichap and performed here by the Sweet, but was originally a hit for Australian pop group New World in 1971.
"The bottom line is this. writing songs might be easy to do, but it's incredibly hard to do well"Mike Chapman, Guardian interview 2000.

BY LEVEL FORTY, you should have this whole healing thing well in hand. Whether you've taken up with a sympathetic tank and the two of you terrorize the countryside, or you've become a past master of the Looking For Dungeon Tool, this stretch of leveling road is an opportunity to truly hone your craft.
Your Satchel of Helpful Goods these days will contain items for your shoulders and fingers; with two fingers, you'll likely make out with three free blues in this leveling section, rather than two. Don't forget and accidentally purchase those expensive, uber-sexy shoulders right when you ding 40.
Acquiring higher-end (read: more expensive) crafting mats should drive much of your choices about where to level. Mats for items in the 200-300 level range can be more expensive than top-tier crafting mats, and buying them on the auction house is likely going to bankrupt you (unless that tank you found happens to double as your sugar daddy). To add insult to injury, much of what you're crafting at these levels isn't going to sell for much, if anything. Mageweave in particular is tough on the pocketbook at this point, but can be farmed successfully in Felwood at this level. Tanaris becomes particularly profitable for miners and skinners from these levels forward, and you can quest there to boot.
And don't forget to pick up your Journeyman riding skill and a sweet new mount when you hit 40.
- 40 5/5 Mental Strength
- 41 1/2 Focused Power
- 42 2/2 Focused Power
- 43 1/3 Enlightenment
- 44 2/3 Enlightenment
- 45 3/3 Enlightenment
- 46 1/1 Power Infusion
- 47 1/3 Improved Flash Heal
- 48 1/3 Focused Will
- 49 2/3 Focused Will
- 50 3/3 Focused Will
- Shield/Renew tank
- Flash Heal small damage
- Greater Heal big damage
- Shield specific DPS/yourself if they're consistently taking a lot of damage
- Spam Fade if you're taking a lot of aggro
- Power Infusion on yourself at 25% of your mana level
- Feralas (40-50)
- Tanaris Desert (40-50)
- Badlands (35-45)
- The Hinterlands (40-52)
- Stranglethorn Vale/Searing Gorge (43-50)
- Feralas (40-50)
- Tanaris Desert (40-50)
- The Hinterlands (40-52)
- Searing Gorge (43-50)
- Azshara (45-55)
- The Blasted Lands (45-55)
- Felwood (48-55)
A slow casting spell that heals a single target for X to Y.
Slow and big. Big and slow. Though the name couldn't be more boring, and it is a spell geared towards Holy priests, this is a handy spell to rely on when you know your tank is about to take a massive damage hit. Also useful for topping yourself up from near-zero after a particularly nasty solo leveling run-in.
Power infuses all party and raid members, increasing their Stamina by X for 1.00 hour.
Prayer of Fortitude, like the later Prayer of Shadow Protection and Prayer of Spirit, is a party-wide buff that uses one Devout Candle as its reagent. You'll be casting all three before every raid and instance, and it's useful not to have to stand around and hit five people individually with Power Word: Fortitude. Party-wide buffs are your responsibility as a good healer, so do stock up on the candles.
5 out of 5 points: Increases your total intellect by X%.
Continuing from last time, you'll finish picking up these talents at 41, 42, and 43. At this point, your mana pool can handle the drain of mana that all those more powerful spells will require.
2 points: Increases damage and healing done by your spells by X%. In addition, your Mass Dispel cast time is reduced by Y sec.
Focused Power is a no-brainer, now that it increases your healing by 2% with the first rank and 4% with the second rank. Mass Dispel also gets a boost, but that will come in handy more in the Icecrown Citadel fights than in the earlier instances.
3 points: Increases your Spell Haste, and Spirit by X%.
It's popular these days to pooh-pooh Spirit, but its importance to the size of your mana pool is undeniable. As mana management becomes more of an issue, Spirit's importance grows. As you level, mana pool size is more important than it is during raiding, when gear can pick up the mana slack, so pick up both levels here. And in no universe is more haste not a good thing!
1 point: Infuses the target with power, increasing spell casting speed by 20% and reducing the mana cost of all spells by 20%. Lasts 15 sec.
Though I hesitate to add anything to your casting bar so early on, I go for Power Infusion this early in the game to give every aspiring Disco priest an opportunity to remember to use it. Power Infusion is a fantastic ability, but with its long cooldown and slightly obscure usage, its easy to forget to mash it when needed. Part of the reason you're leveling as a Disco is to really learn to use your spells to their best effect: picking up Power Infusion early will hopefully increase your use of this, the most underutilized of utility spells.
1 out of 5: Reduces the mana cost of your Flash Heal by X% and increases the critical effect chance of your Flash Heal by Y% on friendly targets at or below 50% health.
Start pushing points into a very unexciting but useful talent that improves your Flash Heal substantially by the time you take all five points (which you will, in the end). Though unsexy, you'll be glad you did.
3 points: After taking a critical hit you gain the Focused Will effect, reducing all damage taken by X% and increasing healing effects on you by Y%. Stacks up to 3 times. Lasts 8 sec.
Finish out your talent tree to 50 by picking up all three ranks of Focused Will. Though ostensibly a PvP talent, if you find yourself running a lot of PUGs with tanks who can't hold aggro, or solo/duo leveling, you'll be glad you did. This makes it onto my list of essential talents in the as you finish up towards fifty solely because when you hit level 60, the Outlands instances you'll be running introduces you to a massive influx of Death Knight tanks who have little to no experience tanking. There are exceptions of course, but chances are enormous that you'll be on the receiving end of a larger number of hits than ever before. It's nice to roll with the punches.
By level 50, then, your talent tree will look like this:

Amstrad PCW8256
Amstrad computers claimed a substantial part of the computer market in the UK, but were never common in the US. This model was sold as a personal word processor through Sears, but came with CP/M, BASIC, and Logo.
Contributed by: Steven D. Brewer
The IBM PC is perhaps the most iconic computer of all time, symbolizing the transformation from when computers moved from the backroom and office to the home.

Powerbook 100
The first modern laptop computer, which set the design characteristics that would define the industry, the Powerbook 100 has been recognized as the one of the most transformative computers of all time.
Contributed by: Steven D. Brewer
TRS-80 Model 100
The Model 100 version of the classic TRS-80 set the standard for mobile computing for a generation. It was still in service -- and in demand -- 20 years later for journalists and scientists working in remote areas due to its ability to use retail batteries (D-cells) and communicate reliably through simple telephony.
Contributed by: Steven D. Brewer
NeXT Cube
After Steve Jobs left Apple, he started NeXT to build high-end computer workstations. They were expensive and didn't achieve commercial success. Early versions, like this one, had neither a floppy nor a hard-drive and, instead, used an odd magneto-optical disk.
NeXT was ultimately purchased by Apple and its operating system, NeXT Step formed the basis of MacOS X.
Sir Timothy Berners-Lee, the creator of the World Wild Web, used a NeXT computer for software development which became the world's first web server.

Welcome to the Message Boards at Cprogramming.com
These boards are intended to help with problems, allow individuals to collaborate on projects, to answer questions, and generally communicate and debate, especially in relation to programming in C or C++. Before you ask a question, or post on these boards, please observe the following guidelines:
1. Remember this is a public forum. See the Homework Policy for more details about policies on post deletion etc.
2. There are many tutorials already made by the webmaster and moderators at http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial.html. There is also a board FAQ, which contains answers to many commonly asked questions. For other common questions please consult the FAQ Board, and for questions concerning the board itself, like how do I post, what is Private Messaging etc., checkout the vBulletin FAQ.
3. Please follow the forum structure when posting. Post threads on the board best suited for the topic. Please do not cross post (i.e. post the same question on multiple boards). Do not bump threads. (Bumping: Posting messages on threads to move them up the list or to post on a thread that has been inactive for two weeks or longer).
4. Don't ask people to do all your work for you. It is especially discouraged to request completed Tests, Quizzes, and Assignments, or graded work without permission from the instructor. However, this board has no way of policing whether people are asking for help on graded assignment, and we can accept no responsibility for it happening. Again, see the Homework Policy for more details.
5. Please be careful of your language and content. Keep everything suitable for children, or it will be edited. Do not do things such as * out certain letters, or purposely misspell profanity to bypass filters. This board is a PG-13 environment. The moderators reserve the right to remove or close any thread that they deem to be inappropriate.
6. Messages relating to cracking, (erroneously called "hacking" by many), copyright violations, or other illegal activities will be deleted. Due to the overlapping boundaries of code with malicious intent, and other legitimate uses of it, the moderators will assess each potential infraction on a case by case basis.
7. Please construct posts with content that furthers the community or holds some merit. Messages posted solely to increase post counts, SPAM, and pointless one-liner posts are discouraged. Solicitation of any product without the consent of the Administration is forbidden. Do not post requests for clicks on referrer links of any kind. This includes indirect solicitation such as linking to a website whose purpose, in whole or in part, is such solicitation. Advertising for programming groups and jobs is allowed only on the recruitment board. (Please note the Recruitment Board Rules.) Anyone with questions about this policy, or who wants permission to post something of this nature, may PM me.
8. Do not flame/troll. Messages whose intent is to "Flame," "Troll," or purposely insult or incite another person, or any portion of a post that "flames" will be deleted.
9. Users are allowed only one account unless they are given special permission to hold multiple accounts. Users may not share their account or password with others.
10. Moderators have been granted the right to use their best judgement in the pursuit of community prosperity and peaceful operation. They are permitted to police posts that do not directly infringe the technicalities of a Rule, yet fall outside the intended spirit of them. Also note; The administration reserves the right to modify these guidelines and rules, along with the terms and conditions of use for these forums, at any time, without notification.
11. Be Nice.
Tips for Efficient and Successful Posting
1. Don't use all caps.
2. Use descriptive subject lines. Do not put URGENT!, or NEED HELP NOW, etc. in your title; it will not make people look at it any faster. Doing this makes many old time helpers on this board not look at the post at all.
3. When posting code, do not post your entire program if you only need help with one function. Post as little as possible. People are much more likely to read small amounts of code and help you, than they are to read a hundred lines of code.
4. Use code tags whenever you are posting code more than a line or two in length. More information on code tags can be found on the sticky on top of all forums (except the General Discussion board).
5. For maximum response results, try to Ask Questions to Smart Way.
A list of who our moderators are may be found here.
If you have any questions please feel free to PM or e-mail me at email@example.com .
Thank you,

A big day for health in Wales
- 9 July 2013
- From the section Wales politics
Guest post from @TobyMasonBBC
There are few days in the Assembly at the moment where the state of the health service isn't in the spotlight - today was exceptional in that there were three major stories happening at once. They're at once separate but linked.
First up, the current top brass of Betsi Cadwaladr health board were in front of the Public Accounts Committee to answer some tough questions about the joint WAO/HIW report into governance. They got a pretty rough going over, not helped by the disclosure by consultants, hours before the hearing, of a claimed spike in mortality statistics at Ysbyty Gwynedd. The officials refused to confirm figures, but admitted they were urgently looking at the reasons behind "a drift up in numbers".
They also lit the fuse on a slow burn row - which was the admission that some acute and specialist services are unlikely to be viable across three sites in North Wales. It means that they're facing a similar controversy to that in South Wales around services at the Royal Glamorgan in the fairly near future.
There were also questions about cancelled operations at the end of the financial year, lengthening waiting list figures and tensions at the top of the organisation. It wasn't a surprise that the session ran well over its allotted time.
Health finances, fiction and fantasy

It's become an annual ritual - a bit like the dreaded visit to the dentist. Today's the day we get to see the final accounts for the seven Welsh health boards.

Steve Thomas, the man who leads and speaks for local government in Wales, is an expert at speaking the language of "quantum funding under pressure" and how "the interface between services needs to accelerate."
But he's also a man who knows how to speak the language of blunt. Today he'll be at conference and at it full pelt. He'll be in the company of local government leaders who fear that the Chancellor's spending review next week, and its impact on the Welsh Government's budget - and eventually theirs - is "the public expenditure equivalent of the nightmare before Christmas".

What Carwyn Jones had to say on the shape of the Welsh economy in his regular briefing to the media this week was overshadowed by another matter he wanted to get off the First Ministerial chest.
But the warning he sounded, and tone he struck, shouldn't be lost along the way.

Sverre Helge Hassel (1876-1928)
Sverre Helge Hassel was born on 30 July 1876 and grew up in the working class district of Grønland in Kristiania (Oslo). His parents were "restaurateur and dance host" Martinius Pedersen Hassel (born in Skotselv 7 February 1851) and Elise Mathea Pedersen.
Sverre Hassel's grandfather, Petter Nilsen, worked as a blacksmith at the Hassel ironworks at Modum, and he moved there with his wife Kristine Birgitte Johannesdatter between 1858 and 1863. They had seven children who grew up at the ironworks. Sverre's father probably took the surname Hassel from here when the family moved to Kristiania.
Sverre Hassel was married to Helene Topper (born 1876) and they had two sons and a daughter.
As soon as Hassel was old enough, he went to sea to earn his mate and shipmaster certificate after some years of duty on board the training ship Christiania. This training vessel was originally built in Maine, US, under the name Star of the Empire, and it was used as trading vessel in the East Indies. A Norwegian committee bought the vessel from Great Britain where it had been renamed Lady Grey. In Norway it was rebuilt as a "training ship for boys who were destined to be sailors". Hassel must have been one of the first boys who were lucky enough to join the vessel. In 1883, 127 young boys applied, only 30 were accepted. The boys came from all parts of the society, and the routines on board the ship were strict. Hassel's experience from his years on the Christiania must have given him a good background for the discipline needed at the Fram some years later. It is said that captains who got rookie sailors from the Christiania could state that "The Christiania was a good school, both for the human nature and educationally."
Between 1898 and 1902, Hassel participated as an all-round man on the polar ship Fram on Otto Sverdrup's expedition to northwest Greenland and the islands north of Canada. The expedition mapped c. 150 000 km² of land by dog-sled, which made Hassel an expert dog driver. This was the greatest geographical mapping ever done on a polar expedition so far.
After returning to Norway in 1902, Hassel became a constable in the Navy, stationed in Horten. In 1904 he got an engagement as a customs assistant in Kristiansand. It was in Kristiansand that he joined Roald Amundsen's expedition with the Fram in 1910 as an expert dog driver. Hassel had got one year's leave from his engagement at the customs office, and his plan was to join the first part of the expedition when it apparently was heading towards the Arctic. But, when the Fram reached Madeira in the summer of 1910, and the crew was informed of Amundsen's plan to conquer the South Pole, Hassel, as the others, accepted joining the expedition to the Antarctic. On December 14, 1911, he, Amundsen, Hanssen, Olav Bjaaland and Oscar Wisting were the first to reach the South Pole - Hassel driving one of the sledges.
Hassel said this about the expedition and the climate at the South Pole in an interview Roald Amundsen had with The New York Times 12 March 1912:
"It was not very cold, and near the pole itself we experienced fine weather. I have known it colder in Christiania. Without the dogs, however, we could not have got through and kept up our food supplies. Dog flesh is not the worst kind of food. The dogs are very ready to eat each other; indeed they are sometimes fonder of their companions dead than alive. Captain Amundsen is a wonderful man. We could never have accomplished the journey without him."
Hassel said no to Amundsen's offer to extend the expedition to the North Pole, and went back to customs work in Kristiansand and later in Farsund.
In the winter of 1913 he held over 100 lectures about the expedition to the South Pole. In October of 1916 he wrote a long letter to Fridtjof Nansen with the suggestion of making the Fram into a museum. It was Otto Sverdrup who later started this work.
In 1922 Hassel became a customs manager in Grimstad. He and Roald Amundsen kept their relationship, and in June 1928, 51 years old, Hassel died of a heart attack in Roald Amundsen's garden while visiting his friend. Roald Amundsen himself died in an airplane crash only 12 days later.
Sources tell that Hassel was a low-voiced person, and that he was a loyal companion to Amundsen, despite the sometimes very negative characteristics he could give Amundsen in his South Pole diary. He represented Amundsen both in Hjalmar Johansen's and Kristian Prestrud's funerals. It has been said that he was a "rare skilled and sympathetic man with a strong personality who held his friends' admiration and trust".
Mount Hassel in Antarctica is named after him. He also has a street named after him in Stavanger, and the waters between Amund Ringnes Island and Ellef Ringnes Island in North Canada were named after him the "Hassel Sound".

Keel of the Monitor laid
On this day in 1861, signaling an important shift in the history of naval warfare, the keel of the Union ironclad Monitor is laid at Greenpoint, New York.
Union Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles appointed an Ironclad Board when he heard rumors that the Confederates were trying to build an iron-hulled ship, as such a vessel could wreak havoc on the Union's wooden armada. In September 1861, the board granted approval for engineer John Ericsson, a native of Sweden, to begin constructing the U.S. Navy's first ironclad.
The wooden keel was laid at the Continental Iron Works at Greenpoint. Carpenters worked around the clock on the frame while the iron sheathing was prepared for the hull. The vessel was not large—172 feet long and 41 feet wide—but its design was unique. The craft had an unusually low profile, rising from the water only 18 inches. A 20-foot cylindrical turret in the middle of the ship housed two 11-inch Dahlgren guns that topped the flat, iron deck. The ship had a draft of less than 11 feet so it could operate in the shallow harbors and rivers of the South.
Ericsson pushed the production to be as speedy as possible, but he could not deliver the ship by the January 12, 1862, delivery date. It was finally launched into New York's East River on January 30. Many small engine problems also needed to be solved before the craft was commissioned on February 25. The Monitor sailed for Virginia soon after, arriving at Chesapeake Bay on March 6. On March 8, 1862, it engaged in one of the most famous naval duels in history when it clashed with the Confederate ironclad the Virginia (which had been constructed from the captured Union ship Merrimack). A day of heavy pounding produced a draw; each ship was immune from the other's shots. A new naval era had dawned.

Roogoo tasks players with guiding meteors in the form of shaped blocks though a series of rotating disks as a means of saving the planet Roo and the entire Roogoo race. If aligned correctly, the disks allow the blocks to reach the ground and scores are awarded. However, it's not as easy as simply rotating the disks to form a neat tunnel. Various obstacles and enemies will impede the blocks' transit and with the flow of meteor blocks steadily increasing as the game progresses, players will have to think on their feet to save the Roogoo and rack up seriously high scores.

10-Steps to Growing Those Tasty Tomatoes
by Amy Lignor
The Guinness Book of World Records shows the largest, plumpest tomato weighing in at 8.61 pounds, grown in Walla Walla, Washington. (Now that guy knows how to grow tomatoes!) The tomato is also rated as the most popular fruit in the world. (Even if you wish to argue the point that, to you, it's a vegetable.) But no matter how you wish to categorize it, you can grow incredibly plump, juicy tomatoes that would make any meal look and taste even better. The process is simple. In order to harvest the most delicious tomatoes, you can simply follow these 10 tried-and-true steps that will literally transform you from a beginner to a master gardener.
First, and most importantly, you need to choose the perfect spot so that the tomato plants have the right 'home' to thrive in. What this means is choosing a bright, airy spot. There must be room between plants for air to circulate in order to get the right amount of healthy flow for the plants to grow. In addition, choose a spot where at least ten hours of light shines per day. Tomatoes are one plant that needs that ultimate sunshine to become the best of the best.
Secondly, you must make sure to rotate the crop. The key to producing and keeping a rich vegetable patch is to alternate your tomato bed between a few perfect spots in the garden; this will diminish the risk of any soil-borne diseases that can occur.
*It is important to note another fact here. There are, on record, thousands of tomato varieties in active cultivation worldwide, and certainly not all will be perfect for your climate, landscape, etc. Make sure to do your research ahead of time and find exactly what's best for you to grow.
When you have found those perfect garden spots, make sure that you plant your tomato seedlings up to the first true leaves. The stems need to be buried. New roots will sprout quickly and more roots mean more fruits. Plants with large root systems need less water and can stand up to those large summer storms. The fine 'hairs' lining the stem develop into roots when they come in contact with soil. By burying a large portion of the stem at planting time you will double the size of the plant's root system and encourage productive plants.
When it comes to watering, soak your tomato bed once a week, or every five days at the height of summer. Water directly on the soil, not on the leaves.
Make sure to prune during the growth process. By pruning away the non-fruiting branches, you will direct the tomato plant's energy and root system where it belongs – into growing bigger, better tomatoes.
When determining how to stake the plants, research the variety of tomato you have planted and go from there. However, if you have chosen a more vague variety to plant (i.e., Brandywine) use approximately six-foot stakes. Make sure to put in the stakes when transplanting to avoid damaging roots.
While the first fruit is ripening, to encourage new growth, add compost around the stem and trim some of the upper leaves.
Approximately three weeks after you plant tomatoes in your garden, put in another set so all of your harvest doesn't come at once.
Then comes the harvest. Make sure to pick tomatoes when ripe: Watch the bottom of the fruit carefully, seeing as this is where tomatoes begin to ripen. When it comes to large heirloom varieties, lightly squeeze the fruit to test for firmness. Once the first bloom of red appears on the skin of the tomato, harvest time is right. For other varieties there are other ways to plan. As an example, take cherry tomatoes. In this case, flowers will be followed by tiny green fruits. After a few weeks, those turn into full-blown cherry tomatoes. A truly ripe cherry tomato will come off its stem very easily and is most definitely worth waiting an extra day for, so hold off on picking them until they're ripe.
The question most often asked is whether or not tomatoes can and should be picked while they are still green? If you're seeing a bit of red on those green tomatoes, picking them individually and bringing them inside may be the best chance for ripening tomatoes…but only when the season is coming to a close. Like many fruits, tomatoes continue to ripen once they've been picked.
By using these processes, you may not earn that new world record, but you'll love those sauces, salads, and menu of items you will create with those tasty tomatoes.

During the first seven months of this year, farm prices for fresh-market vegetables averaged 14 percent above a year earlier, according to the latest USDA Vegetables and Melons Outlook.
After declining 4 percent from a year earlier this past spring, farm prices were expected to average at or below a year earlier this summer, with weather-delayed crops coming to harvest and crowding the market through August.
During January through July, preliminary data indicated that shipments of fresh-market vegetables – excluding potatoes and melons – from domestic sources were up 3 percent from a year earlier. Import shipments during this time were lower due to the winter freeze in Mexico. Most of the gain in domestic movement occurred prior to May, with volume lower each month May through July.
According to USDA, the May-July decline likely reflected planting gaps and reduced yields caused by the cool, wet spring in California, drought in Georgia, and periods of extreme heat and flooding in the Midwest and East.
Shipments from domestic sources, which account for the majority of volume during summer months, were 7 percent below a year earlier in July but were expected to increase in August.
Area for harvest of 11 selected fresh-market summer vegetables (excluding melons, onions, and potatoes) was forecast to rise about 1 percent for this past summer to 269,300 acres. This compares with a 2 percent increase last summer and steady area this past spring.
Only four of the 11 surveyed crops registered increased acreage, with most of the increase coming from a 17 percent advance in carrots and a 6 percent gain in head lettuce.
Fresh-market carrot supplies (largely from California) had been chronically short since the severe February freeze with the surge in summer area likely reflecting a need to normalize supplies after several months of sustained high prices.
A 9 percent reduction in summer area was noted for snap beans with marginal declines for four other crops, including tomatoes (down 1 percent).
California, accounting for 48 percent of this year's summer-season vegetable area (up from 46 percent a year earlier), increased its acreage 4 percent.
New York, the second-leading summer-season producer with 16 percent of fresh-market vegetable acreage, was expected to harvest 1 percent less area than a year ago, largely because of small reductions in snap bean and sweet corn area.
New York is the leading source for fresh-market sweet corn, cabbage and snap beans in the summer. Michigan, the third leading summer fresh vegetable state in terms of area, expects to harvest 19,500 acres this summer—the same as a year earlier.
Most crops late
Growers in most summer-producing states battled cool, wet conditions during planting season, with most crops one to two weeks behind normal development.
The market situation for fresh-market tomatoes (excluding grape/cherry) compared with a year earlier was as follows:
• Shipment volume during June-July was down 1 percent from a year earlier due to the cool, wet spring and a late start for many local deals.
• Market volume of greenhouse tomatoes increased 49 percent during June-July due largely to greater volume of hothouse Roma (plum-type) tomatoes.
• Prices at the point of first sale (largely grower or shipping point) averaged 39.4 cents per pound during June and July—up 11 percent from a year earlier.
• Market News retail prices for field-grown round tomatoes during June and July averaged $1.30 per pound (down 3 percent); hothouse sold for $1.51 per pound.
• January-June import volume was down 13 percent from a year earlier to 1.92 billion pounds, led by greenhouse tomato volume (up 11 percent).
• January-June export volume was up 12 percent from a year earlier.
• Per capita use is projected to be 20.4 pounds in 2011, down slightly from 2010.
The summer (largely July-September), area for harvest of the three leading melon crops (watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew) was estimated to be 84,700 acres — 7 percent less than a year earlier. Area is expected to be down for all three melons.
California melon growers, who account for 41 percent of national summer melon area, apparently shifted into other crops this year, reducing area devoted to the three top melon crops by 11 percent. Although melon area was down in California and Georgia (down 12 percent), growers in the Texas planted 12 percent more melon area, with both watermelon and cantaloupe acreage rising.
Watermelon is the top melon crop during the summer in terms of acreage and shipments. Watermelon area for harvest was down this summer, with growers in every state except Texas (up 13 percent) reducing area.
Despite the incentive of higher prices a year ago, unsettled spring weather and better returns for alternative crops may have encouraged growers to shift area out of watermelon in 2011.
As reported by Market News, U.S. average advertised retail prices for cantaloupes have remained around $2.26 each this summer. Average retail prices for seedless watermelon have declined seasonally since peaking at the start of the domestic season in April at $4.97 each — falling to $3.62 in July.
Honeydew melon retail prices have been relatively steady, averaging between $3.07 and $3.28 since April.
Despite uncertainty in the economy, consumer food demand appeared strong through July, with both retail and foodservice expenditures reported about 3 percent above a year earlier in July.
Adjusted retail grocery sales in July were stronger than the January-July average, while the change in adjusted foodservice sales was about the same as the January-July average.
With higher energy costs keeping pressure on shipping rates, consumer prices for fresh-market vegetables averaged 6 percent above a year earlier over the first seven months of 2011.
During July, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for fresh-market vegetables also averaged 6 percent above a year earlier.
Average retail prices in July were higher than a year earlier for the majority of fresh vegetables.

Wayland honors students with achievement awards
Several students from Wayland Baptist University received honors during the May 8 recognition chapel on the Plainview campus.
Graduating seniors Jennifer Beal and Brian Street received the prestigious Citizenship Awards. Honorees for the award are chosen for Christian attitude, acceptable academic record, diversity of interests, loyalty to American ideals, personal integrity and the exemplification of the Wayland spirit.
"They exhibit a servant's heart and their commitment to Christian ideals have made them a favorite of faculty, staff and students," said Dr. Paul Armes, WBU president, upon presenting the awards.
Both Beal and Street affixed nameplates to the perpetual plaque hanging in the foyer of the Gates Hall administration building after the chapel ceremony. Beal is the daughter of Ned and Judy Wharff of Hobbs, N.M. Since coming to Wayland in 1998, she has been involved in Student Foundation, cheerleading, Zeta Zeta Zeta, and student government, serving this past year as student body president. She was also honored this year as the Outstanding Student in English and Speech, was named to Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universities and received the honor of Spinning Wheel from the student body. She will receive a bachelor's degree in English and speech.

A Sandwich a Day: Prosciutto Sandwich at Sullivan Street Bakery Chelsea
A new sandwich every day.
In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
Simple is key here. Bread, cheese, meat, pickles. That's the Prosciutto Sandwich ($11) at the relatively new outpost of Sullivan Street Bakery in Chelsea—simple but really top-notch ingredients.
This sandwich is an update of the original Prosciutto-Mozzarella Sandwich at the Hell's Kitchen location. The differences kick off as soon as you order the sandwich. First off, you'll note that the sandwiches at the Chelsea location are made-to-order by the "sandwich guru." Meats sliced on the spot. Bread split right there and then. All to mean you get a fresher sandwich—not soggy, not stale.
Next, you realize that the bread has changed, for the better. Instead of the narrow, soft Stecca bread cradling the ingredients, there's a round, mini version of the Pizza Bianca, which is actually made from the same dough as the Stecca but baked differently. It's crispier and holds up better as a sandwich bread than the Stecca.
Finally, a delicious addition has been added to the filling: pickled shishito peppers. So now you have an acidic and occasionally spicy kick to counter the super-creamy buffalo mozzarella and salty-in-a-good-way prosciutto di Parma sliced nice and thin. The only tiny, tiny wish we would make to the sandwich guru was to bless us with more of these little pops of pickled flavor.
If you have your stomach set on getting this sandwich, we recommend calling ahead. Not all sandwiches on the menu are available every day.

Organizations that use prepackaged ERP/CRM, custom, and third-party applications are seeing their production databases grow exponentially. At the same time, business policies and regulations require them to retain structured and unstructured data indefinitely. Storing increasing amounts of data on production systems is a recipe for poor performance no matter how much hardware is added or how much an application is tuned. Organizations need a way to manage this growth effectively.
Over the past few years, the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) has promoted the concept of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) as a means of better aligning the business value of data with the most appropriate and cost-effective IT infrastructure — from the time information is added to the database until it can be destroyed.
While the SNIA defines what an ILM system should accomplish, it does not specify any particular technology for implementing application ILM. According to Informatica, archiving is one approach that can be particularly effective — if organizations follow archiving best practices to ensure the optimal management of data during its life cycle.
This slideshow features Informatica's best-practices approach for implementing application ILM archiving.

The perceived value of IT certifications is a perennially hot topic, but it heats up even more in a tight economy. The current economy appears to be loosening somewhat, with tech hiring picking up. Yet in a recent post about hiring trends, Ann All cited a worrisome statistic from a Robert Half Technology survey. Forty-three percent of CIOs said it was tough to find skilled IT pros. So is getting a certification in a sought-after skill a way for IT job seekers to get an edge on the competition?
This slideshow highlights the top 15 certifications, based on the number of times each is mentioned in job openings posted at Dice.com as of Nov. 1. You also can see how demand has grown over the past year.

Are you still using disposable diapers? Lots of American parents are — an estimated 27.4 billion disposable diapers are used and thrown out in the US each year, and those stinky disposable diapers sit without decomposing for over 500 years (or more!) in landfill! Gross, right? To avoid a nasty, diaper-filled Wall-E vision of the future for your grandchildren, (and to help your kids potty-train earlier), we recommend all parents to consider cloth diapering. Getting started with cloth diapers can seem like a daunting task. But with well-designed hybrid cloth diapers that use a combination of washable inserts and super-stylin' shells, green diapering is not what it used to be and it's easy enough for even the most sleep-deprived new parents to handle. What's more, chemical-free cloth diapers are better for your baby's skin, will help your tot potty train earlier and you'll save money in the long run. So we got together with Carolyn Sutton of Charlie Banana to get a primer in cloth diapering. Keep reading to find out what you need and how to get organized, the best ways to launder green diapers and the answer to everyone's burning question, "What in the world do you do with the poo?"
Step 1: Stock Up On Diapers and Supplies
Charlie Banana suggests starting with 24 to 32 diapers. We're not totally sure if you need THAT many to start, especially if you're starting after your baby is 6 months old, but you certainly need at least 15-20. Go with the one-size diapers that fit from newborn to age 3 and this set of diapers will last you through potty training. One-sized diapers have different snap placements at the waist and legs and casing elastic at the legs that can be adjusted for a perfect fit. Charlie Banana's cloth diapers are a 2-in-1 reusable diaper system so each diaper comes with two removable insets that can be tucked inside a front panel. Charlie Banana also offers disposable inserts, which can be a good on-the-go option or a smart solution when you know your child's schedule for going number two. They're biodegradable, plastic free, dye free and fragrance free. While you're making the switch to cloth you may also want to start using cloth wipes. You'll also need a waterproof laundry bag to toss all of the wet diapers, or alternately a bucket in the bathroom. (Editor Jill tosses her wet diapers directly into the washing machine, where they pile up before a load of laundry).
Step 2: Assemble Your Changing Station
Just like you'd stock your diaper changing station with disposable diapers at the ready, you can do the same with your cloth diapers. We used Container Store's Eco-Stripe Drawer Organizers to keep the diapers neat and separate from inserts and wipes.
To make changes quick, pre-assemble diapers making sure they are on the right size settings and stuff the reusable or disposable inserts inside. Toddlers may even be able to help with the stuffing.
Step 3: Put On Your Cloth Diaper
Once pre-assembled, putting cloth diapers on your baby is simple. Just snap them on and you're set. What about taking them off? If it's number one, it's easy, change the diaper like you would with a disposable, and toss the wet-ones in your bucket, bag or washing machine.
But the big question is, what if it's number two? What do you do with the poo? You can dump and rinse disposable inserts in the toilet before adding to your wet laundry bag or bucket. Or if you're using a disposable insert, it's easy to whisk away the poo and toss the whole thing in the diaper pail. Even if your not using a disposable insert for poo, we recommend scraping all of the poop into your toilet and then quickly hand-washing the poopy diaper in the sink before putting in your washing machine.
Step 4: Wash and Dry the Cloth Diapers
Now what do you do with that pile of dirty diapers? Turn the diapers inside out to preserve their bright colors and patterns. You can wash them periodically with other loads of laundry, or you can wash them on their own. Choose a laundry detergent free of brighteners, dyes, softeners, enzymes, bleach and synthetic fragrances since they can cause allergic reactions or cause the diapers to break down and loose absorbency. While you can dry them in the dryer, if you dry them outside you'll save money and electricity. Plus, drying them outside in the sunshine is one secret for keeping them white.
Step 5: Enjoy The Health & Potty-Training Benefits
Besides doing good for the environment, making the switch to cloth diapers has other benefits, too.
Cloth diapers are better for your baby. Disposable diapers contain three toxins that should have no place touching delicate baby skin all day and night.
- Dioxin: This known carcinogen is used in the bleaching process. It's listed by the EPA as the most toxic of all chemicals linked to cancer and is banned in most other countries.
- Tributyl-tin (TBT): Known to cause hormonal issues in humans and animals.
- Sodium polyacrylate: This super absorbent polymer (SAP) becomes a gel when wet. A similar substance used to be found in tampons until it was linked to toxic shock syndrome.
While you may have to invest money to get started with cloth diapering, you will definitely see a major cost saving by the end of your diapering tenure. The average baby uses 6,000 diapers in the first two years and parents typically spend about $800 A YEAR on disposable diapers.
An even better advantage? With cloth diapering, your baby will be out of diapers and into big-kid undies sooner, because cloth diapering can help in early potty training success. When a cloth diaper is wet, babies are more likely to feel the wet sensation than if they were wearing a disposable diaper, therefore, cloth-diapered babies are more aware of their bodily functions and have greater motivation to learn to use the potty.
(Editor Jill's comment: I used cloth diapers for my now 4 year old son, and he was potty-trained before he turned 2!)

Dana and Ray Brandon
Ray's Take I'm always emphasizing the importance of saving. However, saving without specific goals in mind with their time horizons is extremely hard to do. There are just too many distractions in this world – too many well-trained marketers with different agendas. Goal setting is an essential step in the planning process. It's the primary motivating factor. After all, if you haven't identified any goals, what's driving you to save? Just as important, how do you know when you've saved enough?
Goals also give you a sense of progress. As your savings grow you can see how much closer you are to reaching them. They also help you make everyday lifestyle decisions that help you achieve them: do you want to go to that movie or save toward a new computer? Is a night on the town more important than getting closer to buying a new car? Without stated savings goals, you miss much of the motivation to forego instant pleasure.
It's best to set both short- and long-term goals. Short-term goals should be reachable in a year or two. That way you can enjoy the benefits of responsible saving along the way. Short-term goals could be a new TV, vacation or appliance. Long-term goals could include a home, retirement or college for the kids.
With your life partner, draw up a list of goals, divide them into short and long-term and then prioritize. Determine a timetable for achieving your goals. If that TV you want is $600 and you want it in five months, you need to save $150 a month. To determine what rate you need to save at to achieve more expensive, long-term goals, it helps to consult a financial adviser who can help you factor investment growth and inflation adjustments into your savings plan.
Once you've set your goals, keep your list handy for easy reference. When your savings goals are top of mind, it's far easier – and more rewarding – to save.
Dana's Take In his memoir "Angela's Ashes," author Frank McCourt describes his mother's household goals. Their family was desperately poor and a long-term goal was to actually have sheets for the family bed. Certainly puts things into perspective, doesn't it?
When savings goals seem unattainable, perhaps it means that our goals are too grand or undefined.
Start with a concrete and achievable number at first, like saving the equivalent of one month's living expenses in an emergency fund. At the outset, secure the support of all family members and perhaps assign a portion of the goal to each family member. Otherwise, a splurge can destroy savings progress and set up a vicious blame game. Gradually build that fund until it reaches six months of living expenses.
It's a new year and a great time to start the family on a savings goal. Focus on successes along the way and start the savings habit.

Four of five Marion County school districts closed because of snow on Tuesday.
For Peabody-Burns, Marion, and Goessel, it was the fourth consecutive snow day. Durham-Hillsboro-Lehigh had three consecutive snow days but had school off on Friday for other reasons.
Centre was the only district to have school on Tuesday. Superintendent Jerri Kemble communicated with multiple county road graders about the condition of roads at 5 a.m., including USD 397 Board of Education member Mark Heiser. The county workers told Kemble that roads were not drifted and buses could pass. Besides a couple buses being shortly stuck, Centre students got to school on time with little issue, Kemble said.
Peabody-Burns Superintendent Lee Leiker also communicated with the Marion County Road and Bridge Department early Tuesday morning. Road and Bridge superintendent Randy Crawford told Leiker not to have school. Leiker saw as much himself, driving bus routes starting at 4 a.m.
"The wind drifted roads shut," Leiker said. "The bus could not have run routes today."
The difference between northern and southern roads was noticeable in the USD 410 district. The northwest part of the district, including Durham was fine, while roads south of Hillsboro were impassable, Superintendent Steve Noble said.
"I gave serious thought to having a late start," Noble said. "There are two groups I worry about the most — young kids and adolescent drivers."
USD 398 Superintendent Ron Traxson noticed a difference in roads north and south of U.S. 50.
With a flurry of recent snow days, USD 398 and USD 411 are the districts in danger of using all available days. Traxson said USD 398 had four days available. With another, snow cancellation, USD 398 would add school days at the end of the year, possibly on May 16 and 17. USD 411 Superintendent John Fast also said his districts limit was four snow days.
"We should be at the end of snow season," Traxson said.
Leiker said USD 408 has about two available snow days. Noble said USD 410 has about 5.5 snow days.
Every district operates on an hourly basis, required by the state to have 1,116 hours of instruction. As one example, USD 410 scheduled 1,176 hours of instruction. USD 397 scheduled for 1,149 hours of instruction time. With recent snow days, the district is scheduled for 1,121 hours of instruction.

This memorial website was created In Loving Memory Of Brianna Mariah Lopez Our loved one. Who was born premature, in New Mexico on February 14, 2002 and passed away on July 19, 2002 . We will remember her forever (*Even though her family does not want us to!!!!*) Brianna was only Five months & Five Days old, and suffered some of the worst abuse imaginable for a child that age. The abuse resulted in the death of this poor baby girl. On record are allegations of sexual abuse, being shaken and beaten,over 13 adult sized bite marks as well as other lacerations and contusions over her entire body. Injuries to her genital and anal area were also found ."She had bite marks on her face, cheek, head, arms, legs, chest, torso, everywhere."Bite marks throughout her body; that were old and new, She had skull fractures that were old and new."She had bleeding on the brain both old and new which means she had been abused physically her entire life."Baby Brianna suffered two rib fractures on the right side of her chest several weeks before her death. She also had bucket handle fractures on both her right and left thigh bones as well as a fracture through the top of her left arm. These injuries were the result of her limbs being forced, twisted, or yanked. "Literally bruised from head to toe, from the top of her head all throughout her body all the way to the big toe on her right foot.She was beaten and raped by her own family."Massive bruising on the head, and then her little fingers were lacerated,& a bruise on her big toe on her right foot," Brianna's family called 911 and said that she had fallen out of her chair and was no longer breathing. On trial for her death were Brianna's mother, Stephanie Lopez who is accused of murdering her, her father, Andy Walters and an Uncle,Steven Lopez who are accused of sexually abusing her and murdering her and her Grandmother, Patricia Walters and one other Uncle, Robert Walters Jr., who face charges of failing to report child abuse. Brianna's uncle Steven , her father Andrew and her mother Stephanie are facing the most time in prison. Though NONE of them will serve enough time to make up for what they did to this innocent baby girl. In Las Cruces, New Mexico there is a small grave of a baby that has been fenced in and locked up. No one can get to the grave to lay flowers or grieve. District Attorney Susana Martinez says this is just another way that Brianna Lopez's parents are causing this precious baby pain, even after her death."They are isolating her not only in her life but also in her death."
Susana Martinez asked for the maximum punishment possible for all of them. Sadly, their sentences do not fit their crimes. It took a jury of seven men and five woman nine hours to find all of them guilty.Andy Walters, the father, received a mere 57 years in prison andher Uncle Steven Lopez received only 51 years for sexually abusingand causing the death of Brianna due to abuse and neglect.Stephanie Lopez, her mother received a very short sentence of 27 years in prison for child abuse and neglect resulting in death. The Jury decided that she was not guilty of intentional abuse since shedid not inflict the abuse but had allowed it to take place.Brianna's Grandmother, Patricia Walters and her Uncle, Robert Walters Jr each got off easy with only 60 days in jail for failing toreport the abuse and save Brianna's life.As each guilty verdict was read, the Lopez and Watlers families showed their emotions by embracing and crying. The only one ofthe defendants to show emotion at that time was Steven Lopez who is the twin brother of Stephanie, put his head in his hands and started to cry.When the jury was dismissed and had left the court room, thedefendants then began to show their emotions by crying and hugging their lawyers who tried to console them. Stephanie and Steven were allowed to hug each other and cry before being lead out of the court room by guards. Susana Martinez, District Attorney had this to say:"To say this child was beaten head to toe is not an exaggeration.""I find their statements extremely self-serving. It's all about how I feel, what I've gone through, how life has been difficult for me since I've been arrested. It's all about I, I, I, and never there was an empathy for Brianna."There was one woman who spoke up for Brianna. A great Aunt name Rosanne Garcia stated:"I heard them pleading for mercy for them not to begiven so many years and they all had defense attorneysto help them but who was there for Brianna when she wasbeing violated and abused."
"The time that they are going to get, is not going to be enough"
~AUTHOR UNKNOWN~ <This is for Brianna's mother>Today there will be silence mommy,no crying will you hear.I didn't mean to anger you,I just wanted you near.Today there will be sleep again,I won't cry out in vain.The nights I needed comforting,were filled with hurt and pain.How could someone so big and strong,strike out at little me?I was a gift, your baby Girlunwanted now, I see.Today there will be love at last,On angels wings I'll soar.Way up high, above the clouds,through heavens golden doors.So mommy, say a prayer for me,for the life I'll never know.I just wish you could have cared for me,for I would have loved you so....... <FOR EVERY CHILD>For every child who cries at nightAlone with shame and frightFor every child who wants so muchTo only feel a gentle touchFor the beaten child, who cries in painWhose tears run silent, like the rainFor the child used to satisfy lustWho never learns to love or trustFor the child taken from her/his homeAnd made to feel so all aloneFor the child whose home is just a shellWhere life becomes a living hellFor the child who smiles but cannot feelBecause of scars too deep to healFor every child who yearns for loveI hope and pray to God aboveTo hear your cries and heal your painAnd give you back your life again~Author Unknown~
