  • September is Sepsis Awareness Month

    Sep 11, 2014

    CDC--Despite the fact that sepsis affects more than a million Americans each year and kills up to half of them, a new survey published by Sepsis Alliance found that fewer than half of all Americans have ever even heard of the term ‘sepsis.’ Sepsis is a serious illness that can develop when the body’s normal reaction to fight an infection goes awry and can quickly become life-threatening. The body’s immune system releases chemicals into the blood to fight infections but sometimes those chemicals can cause inflammation, which can lead to blood c...

  • New York Times Article Details Cournoyer Operation

    Sep 11, 2014

    If you ever wanted to know anything about the Jimmy Cournoyer case, an article in the New York Times titled, “The Rise and Fall of the Biggest Pot Dealer in New York City History,” which ran on September 5, 2014, is thorough and fascinating. Brought about in the news again because of the 27 year prison sentence Cournoyer recently received, the author, Alan Feuer, must have spent an immense amount of time collecting the information.

  • THE IROQUOIS WOMENS ROLE IN THE LONGHOUSE

    Sep 11, 2014

    In the old days the Iroquois extended their household “matriarchal” giving the women outright ownership to the land and housing. There were no discontinuities in her upbringing. She was the one to carry on the clan and its prerogatives right through to her children to keep up the strength of numbers in the clans. The girl was fondly and permissively treated as the boy. Children were not punished. They participated in activities as soon as they were able and were not disciplined in any harsh physical fashion, nor weaned too young. Surrogate mot...

    Q: High-performance replacement windows are the best cure for old, drafty windows. A: An interior storm window can cut your energy loss, at a fraction of the price. If you need to cut heat loss from a single-pane or leaky double-pane window, an interior storm window can be an excellent, low-cost solution.
