december 3, 1997 A new month. The year is almost gone. Boy, they sure go quicker as you get older.
Kirby is doing better so far. Still keeping an eye on him.
Some of the cats seem to be under the weather. I don't know if it's because it's colder or the rain we had, or what. They just don't seem up to speed. I haven't noticed any sneezing or coughing, though.
The new windows are in and a big hit with the cats. They like laying in the bay windows. The first couple of mornings, I had the cat pee to contend with, but it seems to have tapered off.
So far, this month has been slow. I hope it stays that way. Knock on wood.
december 4, 1997 Well, I spoke too soon. There is something wrong with Georgie. It's his right eye. The conjuctiva is really red. *sigh* So, I have him on Neo-Predel that soothes the eye and terramycin for treatment of infections. I also am giving him Baytril, in case its due to a URI. If he doesn's show any improvement by tomorrow, to the vet we go. I just noticed this last night, he was fine yesteday.
Red slept in the living room all night. Yay!! Thinking back to last year when he was living in the rafters, it's sure nice to have him down and in. He will let me cuddle with him if I lay down next to him, but if I sit next to him, he runs off. He isn't comfortable with me being taller than him. He has to have easy access to my head and face.
I had to give Sandy a pill yesterday. *I* could hear the heavy equipment.
DeeJay has started sleeping in the bedroom during the night, not just during the day. He use to do this a long time ago and just recently came back in. He seems grouchier than normal, too. I wouldn't doubt that it has something to do with his kittenhood leg injury. It probably pains him now that he is getting older. Heck, he will be 10 next year.
december 6, 1997 The rain finally started this morning. Could it be? Finally? El Niño? I doubt it.
The sound of the rain on the roof wakened me at 3:45 this morning. I noticed that my husband wasn't next to me. I got out of bed in search of him. He was on the couch, I asked why. He said that when we went to bed that he couldn't get to sleep. And then because of both Boney and me snoring.....hmmph. I went back to bed, leaving hubby on the couch.
DeeJay came in this morning at 6 to get me out of bed to open the backdoor and let him out. It was pouring down rain at the time and as usual, he gets mad at me. He runs in. He runs out. Back in. Yowing all the time. He went to another door to be let out. He ran out, still wet. He was one annoyed cat.
I opened the catdoor and Benny went out. He ran alongside the house, back to the patio and back in the sliding door. He didn't care for all of that wetness, either.
I took Georgie to the vet yesterday afternoon for his eyes. Turns out he has a bad case of chlamydia, which is what I had been treating him for. The vet says it can take a while to show any improvement. He looks fine this morning, but I'm going to give him the full course of treatment. He really is feeling better, he was running down the hall, chasing another cat.
I gave somebody (in Canada) on the internet information about what had been done with Benny and Kirby for their urinary problems. Her vet called my vet, her vet started her kitty on Elavil and she wrote yesterday saying that her cat seemed to be feeling better. I hope he's okay.
december 7, 1997 We went to get petfood yesterday and on the way, I said, hey, let's go to Disneyland today. It's supposed to be raining!! So, after getting food and bringing it home, we did.
All the way up, we kept wondering when we would see the rain. Dark clouds all around us, but that ray of sunshine just followed us all the way up. Darn it. The weather was the reason we took the truck.
We arrived around 1:30pm and the weather was great, crisp, clean, a little on the cool side. When we walked in, you could hear the Christmas music. It was so nice. Our first stop was where the old Carnation food place use to be. We got a couple of cookies and I got a gingerbread snowman. And we got a large coffee. We walked up to town square and sat on a bench to eat our goodies. Having read in Mickey Secrets about the bottomless cup of coffee, Brian decided to carry the coffee cup with him until we were ready for some more coffee. Free. See, once you buy coffee there, your cup is refillable anywhere. Next stop, Indiana Jones.
Brian brought his camera for the express purpose of getting shots of all of the heiroglyphs. I am going to put them up on my Disney site. Something fun to do while we are deciding when to go. We rode Indy, then just kicked around the rest of the day. A pretty easy day. On the train, before we reached the ToonTown station, the conductor mentioned a rainbow over ToonTown. Brian got a pic of it. I hope it turns out. He was a shooting fool, that's for sure. On the monorail, he got a pic of our truck in the parking lot, I bought a new umbrella and he took a pic of me standing in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle, holding the umbrella open. It has Mickey Mouse ears on it.
We checked out the newly renovated Small World. Oh, my, what a wonderful job of Christmas decorating they have done. They redid the dolls so that they don't clack anymore. And having them sing Christmas carols, as well as the Small World song. Absolutely wonderful. It was still light when we got off and we walked around some more. About five oclock, we were in Fantasyland, waiting for Casey Junior. And the rain started. My umbrella was a very nice thing to have. They were only running one train and the line was long. Brian and I only had on sweatshirts, having left our coats in the truck. While on Casey Junior (Brian snapping those pics) we decided to go to the truck, Brian would wear my extra sweatshirt, cause his was soaking wet, and his jacket. I just put my raincoat on over my wet sweatshirt, no big deal. We figured that the Monorail cafe would be the best bet for dinner. The water at the curb was about three/four inches deep and I couldn't jump over it. So, I went in it. I only got a small amount of water in my boot, nice. Then we ate, went back to Disneyland, took pictures of the lights at Small World, since it was dark, and then came on home.
The rain that we missed on the way up, we found on our way home. Oh, boy, did it rain. We made it home in a little under two hours, walking in the door a little before nine. The cats were glad to see us and I think they had been sleeping all day, because they were very wound up. They did settle down before too long. And we watched some tv and went to bed.
I bet Brian got some great pictures. I hope he did.
december 11, 1997 It's cold!!! Brrrr..... and windy. Yesterday morning it was below 30, but there wasn't any wind. Today, it's not quite as cold, but that wind cuts right through ya. Maybe eating that icecream drumstick wasn't such a bright idea. The cats don't seem to like this weather, but the dogs like it. Shoot, when it was raining Sandy and Junior were laying out in the rain. One of our cats likes bad weather. Benny just loves to be out in the drizzle and he loves the wind blowing in his face. He will sit on the rock out back and face into it. Goofball. Buddy is laying in the sun right now. Next to the food dish. He does so much better when we force him into the shop at night. At least we know he will be warm.
I went to the postoffice yesterday to get a box to send a couple of cat toys out. These are leftover from when we tried to sell cathouses at catshows. I took it to get the right length box. The lady behind me really liked it. She bought it. That was kind of funny. I also got stamps and sent my rpcc Kissamouse Cards out. New Zealand, Australia, Canada and England as well as the U.S. I haven't sent out cards in years.
Georgie is doing much better. He is running and jumping and playing. He ran outside and up the big cat tree, hung his head back and looked at me as if to say "Hi, Mom!!". He's so cute.
Lisa is turning into a bullygirl. I called her that this weekend, and of course, Brian says, "why do you say that? she didn't do anything wrong". I just raised my eyebrows at him. "Oh, yeah? Think so?" So, last night, she is laying in the cat tree tube that faces the garage door. Benny started to walk in and she flew out of the tube and attacked him. Poor Benny, he ran back into the garage and into the rafters. This morning, I heard hubby calling Lisa, "bullygirl".
When I came into my Geo editor to type this, this morning, I noticed that I had 18M. Wow!! So, I checked it out. Regular GeoPlus is now 15M. Maybe the additional 3M is for being a featured page. Which I have been since last February. I know that regular featured pages got more space. This is great!!
december 15, 1997 It's the middle of the month and we are so broke. What's the old saying? So broke we can't even pay attention?
One of the cats is peeing blood. I noticed a small amount on the kitchen counter Saturday morning, Georgie had sprayed in front of me a couple of times the day before, which is what he does when he is getting sick. So, I started him on the ammonil/amoxicillan combination. There was a greater quantity of bloody urine on the same spot this morning. So, the volume is there, which is good. It's still bloody, which is bad. I just hope I'm treating the right cat.
Couldn't find Red last night, and it was pretty nippy in the garage (I have double sheets over the door to keep alot of the cool air from coming into the house.) I looked all over, finally looked in the cathouse with the deck that's in the living room. He was curled up all nice and snug on the blanket that's in it. I petted him and he purred. What a good cat he is.
Rusty, I think, would be surgically attached to me if it were possible. He has been very needy lately, following me around, sleeping on my head (trying to, anyway). He's also been losing weight. He does that every year. He puts on weight during the winter, loses it during the summer. But he seems thinner than usual. His appetite is good, though. I am giving him Nutrical supplement. He likes it.
I think we may have a URI going through the house. Alot of kitty sneezes and sniffles. I need to get more Baytril from the vet.
We haven't decorated at all for Christmas. Brian was going to try to get the new window in the bedroom, so we could put up our animated Mickey and Minnie. He hasn't had a chance, and we don't think it will be done in time for Christmas. Oh, well. I don't feel all that Christmassy anyway.
Brian has resigned himself to the fact that we won't be moving for a while, if ever. This is good news to me. He isn't happy about it, though. But, he is excited about taking care of our current home, now that the dreams of a new home have been put on indefinate hold. We really need a new roof, our roof is the old wood shake which is not up to the building code anymore, so we have to replace it with something else, eventually. He has always hated the look of asphalt shingles, but what he wants is way out of our price league. He has been anxious to paint the house and kept bringing pages and pages of paint samples home. I finally chose a blue theme. Dark blue one the wood, medium blue for the stucco, and a white for the trim, since our new windows are trimmed in white. I told him, now we can get asphalt roofing. There is the most adorable house with the same paint scheme and it has differing colors of grey asphalt shingles on the roof. I think its a sharp looking house. He already bought the paint, it's back in our shop. It's nice not to think about moving.
december 17, 1997 Lonee is being so sweet. It's been months (since she found the backyard) since she has let me cuddle with her. Yesterday, she was laying up in the bay window in the dining room and I went over and started petting her. She actually stretched out towards me and snuggled onto my arm. I petted her and scratched her for a good long time. She gave me headbutts and was cheek rubbing my arm. It was very nice. She let me do it again this morning.
Buddy got into the catfood in the shop. He didn't get very much, but now his stool is very loose and unformed. Darn it. I will have to watch him closely, because of the pancreatitus he had a couple of years ago. I don't want him getting sick again.
I haven't found any bloody urine on the counter in two days. Looks like Georgie was the problem kitty. *sigh* These poor little guys. I feel so badly for them. Last week he had the ointment, now the pills.
Looks like Red is becoming well established as a house kitty.
The piece of plexiglas we put up in the opening to the hall to keep Bobby from wandering around the house at night got broken somehow. So, Brian put up a piece of wood. It's short, but Bob can't get over it and the other cats find it really easy to negotiate. And now they can see it. The other night, Pepper ran full speed into the plastic. Poor thing. It's really irritating when Bobby gets lost in the house at night. He has plenty of food, water and warmth in the tv room and he can go into the garage to potty. He can't climb into the catboxes, so he just goes in front of them. I don't care for that in the hallway. Then he starts that yowing, like where am I? We don't have the problem at all as long as he stays in the tv room.
Dear God, so far today, I've done all right.
I haven't gossiped, and I haven't lost my temper.
I haven't been grumpy, nasty, or selfish, and I'm really glad of that!
I'm probably going to need a lot of help.
Last night, we heard a noise in the other side of the house while we were watching tv. I investigated. Checked the bedroom, bathroom, popped into the office, took a quick look around and didn't see anything. I did another round, came back into the office and there was my keyboard laying on the floor, keys laying around. Seems little Benny, who likes to lay above it, stretched and kicked it off. No damage and the keys popped right back in. Whew.
december 19, 1997 Wednesday we went shopping and didn't get the cats in before we left. When we got home, just about everybody was in. Benny was still outside, up on the bank. Watching him, he ran up the hill, onto the fence and back down, under one of the trees. I went over to get him and he had a tree rat or something big. This rodent was on it's back screeching at Ben. And Ben kept smacking it and trying to bite it. Then the rodent would get away and run under the pine needles where Benny would find it. I was finally able to grab Ben and brought him in the house, and the rat got away. Ben sat by the door all night, he wanted his *toy*.
I was thinking about Red and Lonee this year as opposed to last year at this time. They both have the option to go outside this year, they are much more comfortable here. Last year, Red was still living in the rafters and this year he is spending most of his time in the living room. He likes the cathouse with the deck that's in there. I have a blanket in it and he sleeps inside. Lonee, who really likes hanging out in the backyard, has been spending her days indoors, also, since the weather has cooled off. It makes me feel good to know these cats that spent so much of their lives on the street are now choosing to be inside, dry and warm.
Red is the only cat that purrs at dinnertime. I have fourteen cats crying for dinner and Red purrs. He is a very considerate cat. :-) He's the only one that ever says "thank you".
december 23, 1997 They put Brian's father in the hospital Saturday. He hadn't eaten for a couple of days and he wasn't drinking any liquids either. They ran tests on him and he has pneumonia.
We went Christmas shopping Sunday. Brian finally decided this weekend that we would buy gifts for others. How nice. We spent a gazillion dollars in a few hours time. He had planned on putting our new bay window in the front on Saturday and he was really excited about decorating the window. But then the thing with his dad happened, so no decorations this year.
I made a quick trip to the vet this morning. Benny's ears were burning up, he was breathing hard and he turned up his little grey nose at tuna. Scary, especially knowing that the vet's will be closed for the holidays. I called, they said bring him in. They took his temperature and he had a slight fever. The doc did a thorough checkup and couldn't find anything wrong with Benny, so he thinks that maybe Benny is getting a cold. Ben got sub q fluids and a shot to bring down his fever. I am to give him amoxicillan for a week. The doc said that he will be around Friday if anything happens.
I also bought some of that new stuff named "feliway". It's supposed keep cats from spraying. It was really expensive, $35 for a small bottle (Merry Christmas, I guess). Hopefully the manufacturer will find a cheaper way to make it. According to the paper that came with it, this stuff mimics feline facial pheromones and cats supposedly don't spray where the faces rub. We'll see. If it works, it will be worth not listening to hubby complain about it.
It was really hard for me to leave the vet's office today. Elana brought the new clinic kitten into the examining room and he climbed onto my arm. They have had him since 3 days old, his name is Hugh. He is so tiny and he is a very light orange and white. He walked up my arm and started sniffing my face and put his little mouth on my eyelashes. Awww, he reminds me of Rusty when he was a baby. He checked out my face with his little warm nose and then settled into the crook of my arm. When I was paying the bill, he started getting playful and I had him on his back kissing his belly and he was nibbling at my face and trying to catch me with his paws. I wondered out loud if anybody would miss him if I just happened to put him in Benny's carrier. Or maybe put him down my sweatshirt, I told him he would have to be still, though. I'm telling you, I fell in love this morning. The doc said that he hardly ever sees this little guy so mellow with a client. He likes me!! Hugh likes me!!! I just love kittens so much, I would love to have two more. Hubby always says that it wouldn't be fair to our current kitties, well, maybe not, but is it fair to leave a kitten running along the side of the road? Or some of the other situations we have encountered? I guess we'll cross that bridge if we ever come to it. I do know that I hated leaving that baby this morning. I didn't want to put him down so Sherri took him and put him in her jacket. He started playing with her long hair. *sigh* Then Benny and I came home, I let him out of the carrier and the little mutt ran over and ate some hard food.
december 26, 1997 Christmas is over, but now Brian's brother is in town. I guess hubby will be gone visiting for the next week. *sigh* I thought maybe he could do some small house repairs.
Georgie was really in a fighting mood last night. He was after everybody. I caught him in the garage going after Kirby after he had already tangled with Maggie and big time with Lisa. I held him and talked soothingly to him and petted him. Kept telling him to calm down, chill out. This morning I pulled a claw sheath from under his eye. I wonder why he gets like that. It drives me nuts.
Benny is okay. That's a relief.

Associated General Contractors of Massachusetts Creates Endowment for Building and Construction Technology Program at UMass
Contact: Elizabeth Raffaele 413/545-3903
AMHERST, Mass. – The University of Massachusetts Amherst has received a $100,000 gift from the Associated General Contractors of Massachusetts (AGC MA) of Wellesley, Massachusetts. The gift, also made possible through the Construction Industry Association of Western Massachusetts in Springfield, will provide support for the building and construction technology (BCT) program and its students. The BCT program is part of the department of environmental conservation in the College of Natural Sciences.
AGC MA is the state's leading commercial construction association. The gift represents the second endowment dedicated to supporting UMass Amherst's BCT program. In addition to providing financial support for BCT's programs, the gift will make it possible for four students a year to receive scholarships.
The BCT program prepares students for careers in construction management, sustainable building systems, and building materials technology. BCT offers undergraduate and graduate degrees as well as continuing education programs. The program is located in the new John W. Olver Design Building, a distinctive architectural landmark and the largest, most technologically advanced academic contemporary wood structure in the U.S.
"We are grateful for our partnership with the Associated General Contractors in supporting the building and construction technology program at UMass Amherst. We applaud the association's commitment to pursuing quality, excellence, and joint initiatives that improve and advance the industry," said Alex Schreyer, director of the BCT program.

Lodged Objects: If your pipes are blocked, it could be because of grease, dead animals, plants or garbage.

An area in Germany that is a national park around the Elbe valley and is so named due to two Swiss artists Adrian Zingg and Anton Graff who arrived at the Dresden Academy of Art in 1766 and felt the Elbe Sandstone mountains and river valley reminded them of their homeland. Prior to this the area began to be settled from the 13th century and many of the castles, fortresses and ruins from this day forward are preserved within the national park.
The sandstone rocks which characterise the area are a huge draw for many rock climbers with some 14,00 climbing routes over 1,100 rock pinnacles. An area of free climbing and even jumping between the pinnacles has also been established, a heart stopping site for the uninitiated spectator.
Within the park lies the Bastei, a spectacular rock formation towering 194 metres above the Elbe and were formed by water erosion over one million years ago. The rock can be reached by the Bastei sandstone bridge and offers inspiring views of the park and river valley.


Festival season has come to Arkansas, and you'll find very few beer festivals as big as Little Rocktoberfest. This year's event is this Saturday at Dickey Stephens Park in North Little Rock from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. Most Central Arkansas breweries will be there as will several homebrewers from the Central Arkansas Fermenters club. Tickets are $30 when you buy before Saturday and $40 the day of the festival. For $65, you can get VIP status and enter at 5 p.m., tasting some special beers made just for the early crowd. A portion of the proceeds will go to Arkansas Hands and Voices, which supports children who are hard of hearing.
Midtown Little Rock's first brewery will officially be open on Thursday. Buffalo Brewing Company at The Water Buffalo will hold its grand opening this week. The brewery will have more than a dozen taps, with only three or four of those pouring Buffalo Brewing beers. The rest will go to Arkansas breweries, from Flyway to newcomers 501 Brewing. The small taproom will have a few seats; most of its business will come in the form of take-home growlers. For a sneak peak at the new brewery, check out our feature from earlier this month.
Today is the day Moody Brews releases its excellent Earl Grey ESB at Vino's Brewpub. Brewmaster Josiah Moody created the recipe in collaboration with Apple Blossom Brewing Company in Northwest Arkansas, and this is the first time its been back in almost two years. By the way, get a VIP pass to Little Rocktoberfest and you'll get to try the Earl Grey ESB cask-conditioned with nectarines.
Speaking of beers at Little Rocktoberfest, the festival will be your first chance to try Flyway Brewing's Coffee Cake Stout, the fall beer in Flyway's ongoing cake series. It will go on tap at the brewery after that. And if you're looking for a place to watch the Hogs take on Texas A&M, Flyway is putting out a brisket nachos special on Saturday. Judging by how good its pork was last week, the brisket should be a winner.
This is the week that Great Raft Brewing out of Shreveport makes their Arkansas debut. There are several events going on around the launch this week. Tomorrow (Tuesday) they are keeping with their Louisiana roots and having a big patio party with Faded Rose and Maddie's Place starting at 5. They will move to Flying Saucer Wednesday night and then on to Argenta Thursday night at Reno's and Four Quarter. There will likely be other opening parties, keep an eye out.
Blue Canoe Brewing Company is expanding its distribution in Central Arkansas, which means you should be seeing more Paddler Wheat, 4×4 Pale Ale and Whittler Milk Stout around town. At the taproom, you can try the new Whoo Brew Belgian session ale, which was brewed with the fall season in mind. Also, Blue Canoe will soon be releasing a special pumpkin beer aged for nine months in a rum barrel from Nicaragua. That special release will be coming later this week or early next week.
Paris, Arkansas-based Prestonrose Farm and Brewing held a wonderful Little Rock debut at Kent Walker Artisan Cheese on Thursday, bringing three of their brews into the city. You can still stop by Kent Walker and try the remaining beer on tap. It's available both in pints and growlers to take home. Oh, and if you're in the Paris area, stop by Friday through Sunday to try Prestonrose's new Calypso Wheatmelon, brewed with watermelon and cantaloupe.
Rebel Kettle tomorrow is debuting "C-ing is Believing," a saison dry-hopped with 100-percent Brett hops. That beer is only available in take-home growlers, and will only be on tap Tuesday. Then at 4:30 Thursday, the brewery will unveil "Show 'em Your O-Fest," which is Rebel Kettle's version of an Oktoberfest-style Marzen beer.
Lost Forty Brewing today will release The Big Dam Beer wet-hop ale. This light ale uses the first Cascade hops of the season while staying light at a drinkable 5.5 percent ABV. And Lost Forty has announced it will release 2016's version of Nighty Night at the end of October with a "Zombie Lumberjack Ride" event, featuring an evening bike ride in full Halloween costume. We'll have more details of the event next month.

CES can potentiate the effects of analgesics
Finally, noting that CES is apparently an effective treatment for pain, several studies have been done to assess its potential to potentiate the effects of analgesics. One anesthetist gave 90 urological patients and 30 abdominal surgery patients N2O (nitrous oxide) in concentrations of 75%, 62.5%, or 50% alone, or in combination with CES during surgery. After 20 minutes patients were given a painful stimulation with Kocker clamps on their inner thigh for one minute. It was found that CES increased the potency of all three levels of N2O by 37%.
In a more elaborate study, 50 patients underwent urological operations with anesthesia induced with doperidol, diazepan, and pancuronium. Half the patients also were given CES treatment during the surgery. Anesthesia was maintained as necessary throughout the surgery by an IV fentanyl drip. Those patients receiving CES required an average of 33% less fentanyl to maintain anesthesia than did those who were not receiving CES.
It was found in both of the above two studies, that analgesia was maintained for a longer period following surgery among those patients receiving CES, than among those who did not.

A Summary Look at CES Studies of Insomnia
Primary insomnia as a complaint lasting for a least one month, of difficulty initiating and/or maintaining sleep or of the presence of non restorative sleep, as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.1 The International Classification of Sleep Disorders Revised (ICSD-R) uses the term "psychophysiologic insomnia" for a complaint of insomnia, and for the associated decreased functioning during wakefulness, and regards insomnia of 6 months duration as chronic.
Estimates of the number of people in the U.S. who suffer from insomnia range from 18 million to 24 million in adulthood, and up to 20% in later life, or 7 million in persons 65 years of age and older, with women being about two times as likely to develop insomnia as men.
The primary function of sleep is to ensure adequate cortical function when awake.5 According to one theory, two processes interact in normal sleep production. The sleep homeostat drives the sleep-wake schedule toward a balanced requirement (prolonged wakefulness incurs a "sleep debt"), and an internal circadian timer regulates the 24 hour biological clock's sleep wake cycle.6 Together, the two processes regulate not only the amount of sleep but the type of sleep an individual will experience. The two processes also differ across the life span, with young children experiencing longer sleep periods, with more rapid eye movement (REM) sleep than do adults, and the homeostatic drive declines with age.
Good sleepers do not have a recipe for falling asleep and staying asleep. Instead the good sleeper is regarded as passive in the sleep process in which internal and external cues act as automated setting conditions for sleep. According to the inhibition model, there is both a physiological de-arousal, and a cognitive de-arousal, allowing sleep to occur.
Under conditions of cognitive arousal, sleep will usually not occur. Students are taught that according to Freud, the first step in becoming an insomniac is to worry that one will not sleep when one goes to bed. Recent research has borne out the fact that mental worries of any kind, but certainly a fear of not falling asleep and worrying about the resulting consequences of this for one's life the next day, clearly deactivates the cognitive de-arousal required for sleeping.
When asked what kinds of thoughts they have when they attempt to sleep, insomniacs provide a long list, typically including planning, thinking things out, especially things with a negative emotional content, fear of not sleeping, plus concentrating on worrisome changes that are operative in their lives. Persons who have no sleep problems, when asked what they think about when they go to bed at night, are more likely to answer, "nothing especially."
While medications are often used to treat insomnia, those that are of the benzodiazepine and related families have limited usefulness over the long range, since they suffer tachyphylaxis and produce tolerance. The use of cognitive behavior therapy is often suggested since it can often quickly identify the things that the insomniac is doing that is defeating the brain's attempt to de-arouse.
Other things that can keep people awake are illnesses, especially pain, depression, medications of various types, sleep apnea, anxiety and other stress related disorders. These would all need to be addressed and evaluated in any therapy that is provided to the insomniac.
Of additional interest to practitioners of electromedicine is the fact that the head in the awake person has a negative ionic charge anteriorly and a positive ionic charge posteriorly. Those charges reverse, both when the person is asleep, and when under general anesthesia. The person whose head remains ionically negative in front will not sleep until it reverses.

Treating Insomnia with CES
While CES came to the U.S. as "electrosleep" and its intent was to put patients to sleep when the current was turned on, that simply did not occur irrespective of the manipulation of the stimulus parameters.
Along with Kratzenstein's observation in 1743 that putting electricity on his body during the day helped him sleep at night,13 more modern clinicians and patients also observed that the use of CES, while not directly inducing sleep, helped them sleep better.
Studies began which attempted to assess the ability of CES to enhance sleep, even sometimes hours following treatment. In one study 10 patients were allowed to sleep in a sleep lab which monitored their EEG during the night. Half were given CES and half sham CES. After 30 minutes of stimulation daily for 10 days, it was found that those patients receiving actual CES went to sleep faster, awoke fewer times during the night, spent more time in Stage IV sleep, and reported feeling more rested the following morning. At two year follow up, the CES treated patients were still sleeping normally, while the sham treated patients were not.
Sleep stages are often divided into Stage I, in which there is a feeling of drowsiness, with alpha waves (8-13 cps) and theta waves (4-7 cps) predominating. Stage II is characterized as light sleep in which theta waves predominate. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is found in this Stage when beta waves (13-40 cps) invade the theta. Stage III is a deeper, non REM stage of sleep in which theta and delta waves (0-4 cps) predominate, and Stage IV is the deepest, most restful stage of sleep in which delta waves predominate.
Soon a growing number of researchers discovered that CES not only ensured sound, restful sleep for patients suffering from insomnia, but effectively treated stress in the process, as measured by various psychological measuring scales of depression and anxiety.
Feighner studied 21 long term insomniacs in which a global rating scale of sleep was employed. From the change in sleep pattern observed, a two-tailed t test of probability was obtained at the .0002 level. It should be noted that since this was a cross over design, the change given here was computed on the first group of treated patients prior to the cross over.
Flemenbaum studied 28 outpatients who had suffered from insomnia for from 3 to 4 years. They were provided with five, 30 minute CES treatments. The results were scored on a global rating scale, and a 50% improvement in their sleep was found that persisted six months later.
Frankel added a most unusual study to the CES insomnia literature in that half of the patients were treated with 100Hz, while simultaneously the other half were treated with 15Hz, then the two groups were crossed over. It was never explained why those two pulse rates were chosen, and in the data analysis, they were never broken down separately. The study statisticians combined data from both the 100 Hz and 15 Hz patients before the cross-over, then again following the cross-over so that any treatment effects from either Hz separately could not be ascertained.18 That study technique will be evaluated further in the section on recommended clinical treatment procedures with CES.
Gomez studied self withdrawal from methadone maintenance in 28 heroin addicts in a VA hospital. It was discovered that the treated patients, but not the controls, significantly reduced their prn sleep medication requests beginning the third night of the 10 day treatment.
Hearst gave 28 psychiatric outpatients five, 30 minute CES treatments or sham treatments, and had both physicians and the patients complete a global rating of sleep. The treated patients scored 42% higher than did the controls on sleep improvement.
Hozumi and his group studied a group of 27 inpatients with multi-infarct dementia, giving them either real or sham CES for 20 minutes a day for two weeks. They found that in addition to significantly improving their sleep, CES was significantly effective in improving sleep related behavior disorders such as nocturnal wandering and nocturnal delirium.
Kirsch compiled physicians' ratings for 500 patients previously treated with CES. Among the 500, 135 complained of persistent sleep problems, and although they were treated for various lengths of time, 79% said they had experienced significant improvement of 25% or greater. The average improvement among the over all group was 62%.
Lichtbroun did two double-blind studies of fibromyalgia patients who customarily have very poor sleep. The first group of 30 self rated their sleep pre- and post-study in which they had received one hour of CES or sham CES per day for three weeks. Their self-rated improvement was 72%. Following the same treatment protocol, the second 60 patients rated their sleep as being 82% improved
Moore, gave 17 patients five days of CES, 30 minutes per day in a cross over design. The first group to get treatment prior to the crossover reported a 46% improvement on self rated sleep scales.
Patterson has two studies in the peer reviewed literature which address insomnia. One was a seven year retrospective review of 186 addicts who had been treated with neuroelectric therapy (NET), her version of CES, and the other was a small, 18 patients study of addicts. Sleep improvement was found in the first group to be 56% and in the second group, to be 55%.26,27
Philip withdrew patients from anti-depressant medication so they could be given electroshock therapy. The drugs were tapered with CES for one week. Philip was totally unaware of the ability of longer term CES to effectively treat depression, so while the patients got through their drug abstinence period successfully with 42% better sleep, they still faced the often dreaded electroconvulsive shock therapy.
Rosenthal completed three studies with 9, 18 and 22 patients, respectively, in which a clinical rating scale was used to assess changes in sleep behavior in his subjects. Patients were treated for 30 minutes a day for five days with CES or sham CES, and experienced 50%, 60% and 81% sleep improvement.
Straus gave CES or sham CES to 34 inpatients who suffered from insomnia. The study compared the effects of CES with that of phenobarbital in inducing sleep. The patients' sleep improved over the one to two week treatment period approximately 33%. CES was rated as good as phenobarbital in inducing sleep, but had none of the adverse side effects.
Tyers completed two studies with fibromyalgia patients in which he gave them CES for one hour a day for three weeks. A10 point self rated sleep questionnaire was completed pre- and post-study and it was found that while in one study the 20 subjects' sleep improved 79% on the average, the sleep of the 56 patients in the second study only improved 53%.

1. Put the haddock, water and seasoning in a pan. Cover and poach for 5 minutes. Reserve any liquor and flake the fish, discarding skin. Fry onion in butter for 3 minutes, then add the flour. Gradually stir in the milk.
2. Bring the sauce to the boil, add the lemon juice, seasoning and strained fish liquor. Simmer for 2 minutes.
3. Add the cheese and fish to the sauce, then pour into an ovenproof dish. Rub the fat into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in oats, dill and seasoning.
4. Spread on top of the fish. Dot with butter and bake in a moderately hot oven for 30 minutes or until the crumble is golden. Garnish with dill.
To skin fish fillets, place skin side down on a board. Rub salt on your fingers to hold the tail end. With a sharp knife cut at an acute angle, using a sawing motion between the flesh and skin.
Information on the pan size would have been helpful but it worked out well! All of the family loved it. Definitely cooked longer than 30 minutes. It was more like 45 minutes and that was with turning the broiler on! Next time, I will turn on the broiler earlier.

Nogizaka46 member Wakatsuki Yumi has announced her graduation.
She released a lengthy blog post where she describes her thoughts about graduating and how her decision to leave took time and was something she carefully thought over. Yumi also mentioned that she greatly enjoyed her time with Nogizaka46 and appreciated the support from other members, staff, and fans.
Wakatsuki Yumi will be graduating before Nishino Nanase, who also recently announced her graduation last week.
Her final performance will be at the end of November.
It seems like Nogizaka46 fans are in for a rather surprising end to the year with several members already having announced their graduation from the group. It's unfortunate, but it seems like most fans in the comment section for her blog appear to wish her good luck and their support.
More details are sure to come so stay tuned for more information regarding her final performance and what her future plans will be. Thanks for everything Wakatsuki Yumi!


The new UN estimate of 34,000 Iraqis killed in 2006 made headlines around the world, but it's almost certainly far too low. The number, as the New York Times reported, was "the first attempt at hand-counting individual deaths for an entire year," and was based on information from "morgues, hospitals and municipal authorities across Iraq."
The first problem with the UN count is that refers only to civilians–and thus almost certainly omitted deaths of Iraqi policemen, soldiers, insurgent fighters, and members of private militias like the Badr brigade. News media failed to report how the UN separated "civilian" casualties from the total, and the UN notably failed to report the total including non-civilians.
The second problem is the UN's methodology, which relied mostly on tallying official death certificates. The UN, according to the Times, argues their methodology is reliable because "a vast majority of Iraqi deaths are registered" with officials because Iraqis want to "prove inheritance and receive government compensation." But many bodies found in mass graves or ditches are unidentified. And there's another problem: according to the L.A. Times, "Victims' families are all too often reluctant to claim the bodies. . . . for fear of reprisals." And of course chaotic wartime conditions in several provinces make it difficult for officials there to issue death certificates even when victim's families do not fear reprisals.
None of the reports in leading newspapers mentioned the other count of Iraqi deaths: the Johns Hopkins study reported last October in the prestigious British medical journal The Lancet. They estimated that 650,000 Iraqis had died as a result of the war–600,000 from violence and 50,000 from other war-related causes. President Bush rejected that figure–"I don't consider it a credible report," he told a press conference last October–and most of the media seem to have agreed.
But The Lancet study used state-of-the art demographic techniques, the same methodology employed to estimate war deaths in Kosovo, Congo, and Rwanda, and in natural disasters around the world. World leaders have cited those figures repeatedly without questioning their validity. It's the same methodology used in political polls in the US: the random sample.
Instead of trying to find documentation for individual deaths, The Lancet demographers, led by Gilbert Burnham of Johns Hopkins University, interviewed 12,000 people in 1,800 randomly selected households across Iraq. At each household, they asked how many people were living their currently, and whether anyone who had lived there had died since Jan. 1, 2002, and if so, whether they died before or after March 2003, when the war began. That made it possible to compare wartime death rates with pre-war rates.
Critics like Fred Kaplan at Slate.com objected. They said 12,000 was far too small a sample for a country of 30 million. But in the US, as country of 300 million, 1,000 people are interviewed in the typical political poll, and nobody objects to that sample size.
Critics also questioned whether The Lancet demographers really were able to interview all the people selected by their randomizing methodology. The demographers respond that they employed Iraqi physicians rather than Americans to do the interviewing, and that the response rate was extremely high, much higher than with political polling in the US.
There's one caveat about The Lancet study–their estimate of 650,000 wartime deaths covers the period that ended in July 2006. By all accounts the violence has increased significantly since July–so The Lancet figure now itself is undoubtedly too low.


The guest speaker at the chapter's May luncheon was Col. Joseph Granata, USMC, commanding officer, Combat Logistics Regiment, 1st Marine Logistics Group (MLG). His presentation, "Marine Corps Logistics in Support of Operation Iraqui Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom," provided an overview of how the 1st MLG conducted logistics operations in support of I Marine Expeditionary Force (I MEF) (Forward) combat units in both operations. The colonel noted the challenges of providing reliable and timely logistical support, and he emphasized the role information technology plays in providing reliable and accurate tracking of supplies and repair parts. The chapter presented three $1,000 scholarships and year-long AFCEA members to recent graduates of the I MEF Communications Training Center wire supervisor course.
Col. Joseph Granata, USMC (l), commanding officer, Combat Logistics Regiment, 1st Marine Logistics Group, accepts a token of appreciation from Maj. Mark Witzel, USMC (Ret.), chapter president, for speaking at the May meeting.

This responds to your letter asking whether DMJ Corporation (DMJ) would be considered a brake hose assembly manufacturer subject to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 106, Brake Hoses (49 CFR 571.106), if it assembles brake hose and end fittings for its own use. The answer is no.
In your letter, you explain that DMJ owns trucks and trailers. You wish to know whether, when the brake hoses on those vehicles must be replaced, they can be replaced by brake hose assemblies manufactured by DMJ itself. You plan to take rubber hose and end fittings manufactured by other companies and completing them into brake hose assemblies for use on your vehicles. You provided printouts (from what appears to be www.Gates.com) of air brake hose and air brake end fittings that you are considering using.
By way of background information, NHTSA is authorized by the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Safety Act) to issue and enforce the FMVSSs for new motor vehicles and new items of motor vehicle equipment. NHTSA does not provide approvals of motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment. Instead, manufacturers are required to certify that their vehicles and equipment meet applicable standards. NHTSA also investigates safety-related defects.
Brake hose assembly means a brake hose, with or without armor, equipped with end fittings for use in a brake system, but does not include an air or vacuum assembly prepared by the owner or operator of a used vehicle, by his employee, or by a repair facility, for installation in that used vehicle.
Based on the information you provided, we understand that DMJ will be preparing air brake hose assemblies for installation in its used vehicles. You have advised us that you are making the air brake hose assemblies only to replace hose on trucks and trailers owned by DMJ.
Thus, the definition of brake hose assembly would not include DMJs assemblage of the hose and end fitting. DMJ would thus not be considered a brake hose assembler and would not have to meet FMVSS No. 106 requirements for air brake hose assemblies at S7.2.3.
Note that the assemblies you manufacture are considered motor vehicle equipment under the Safety Act. Manufacturers of motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment must ensure that their products are free of safety-related defects.
In addition, if DMJs trucks and trailers are commercial motor vehicles, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and appropriate State Department of Transportation agencies may have requirements for your brake hose assemblies. For information about FMCSA requirements, please contact that agency at: 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC, 20590, telephone 1-800-832-5660, www.fmcsa.dot.gov.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Dorothy Nakama of my staff at (202) 366-2992.

Healthcare shortage areas are two types of designation within the United States determined by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). Health professional shortage areas (HPSAs) designate geographic areas or subgroups of the populations or specific facilities within them as lacking professionals in primary care, mental health, or dental care. Medically Underserved Areas and Populations (MUAs and MUPs) only designate geographic areas or populations, and only for their lack of access to primary care services. Geographic areas can designate single or multiple counties, parts of cities, or other civil divisions depending on the state. Populations typically designate those subgroups which face barriers to healthcare access in an otherwise well-served population, such as homeless or low-income groups. Facilities designate specific healthcare locations such as clinics, mental hospitals, or prisons.

Designation process and criteria
The primary factor used to determine an HPSA designation (as stipulated by federal regulations) is the ratio of health professionals to population (with consideration of high need). For example, to qualify as an HPSA for primary medical care, the population to provider ratio must be at least 3,500 to 1 (3,000 to 1 if there are unusually high needs in the community).

Most HPSAs are designated after state Primary Care Offices submit applications for them to HRSA, although some facilities are automatically designated (and federal correctional facilities apply separately). The HRSA reviews these applications to determine if they meet the criteria for designation, and then scores them for primary care and mental health (on a scale of 025) and dental health (026), higher scores indicating greater need.

State Primary Care Offices (PCOs) submit applications to HRSA for most shortage designations in their state. PCOs are the primary state contact for Shortage Designation Branch (SDB). And they have access to the online Shortage Designation Management System (SDMS) application and review system. PCOs use SDMS to manage health workforce data for their states and apply for HPSAs and Medically Underserved Areas/populations (MUAs/Ps).  HRSA uses SDMS to review shortage designation applications, communicate with the PCOs on specific applications, and make final shortage designation determinations. HRSA bases SDMS business rules on shortage designation's governing statutes and regulations, as well as the policies and procedures of the Division of Policy and Shortage Designation (DPSD).

The SDMS Determine Eligibility and Scoring by using standard national data sets, including: National Provider Identifier (NPI) for provider data, environmental System Research Institute (ESRI) for mapping data, census for demographic data, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Vital Statistics for health related data.

HRSA relies on state PCOs to verify and supplement the NPI data by adding provider-level data points required for shortage designation purposes. These data points include whether or not the provider is actively engaged in clinical practice, additional provider practice locations, hours worked at each location, populations served, and the amount of time a provider spends serving specific populations

Depending on the type of designation requested, PCOs may also need to provide additional health and demographic data for which standard national data sets with the sensitivity and specificity required for shortage designation do not currently exist.

Primary Care HPSAs
As of September 8, 2016 there are 6,450 Primary Care HPSAs. The percent of need met is computed by dividing the number of physicians available to serve the population of the area, group, or facility by the number of physicians that would be necessary to eliminate the primary care HPSA (based on a ratio of 3,500 to 1 (3,000 to 1 where high needs are indicated)). The number of additional primary care physicians needed to achieve a population-to-primary care physician ratio of 3,500 to 1 (3,000 to 1 where high needs are indicated) in all designated primary care HPSAs, resulting in their removal from designation. Applying this formula, it would take approximately 8,200 additional primary care physicians to eliminate the current primary care HPSA designations. While the 1:3,500 ratio has been a long-standing ratio used to identify high need areas, it is important to note that there is no generally accepted ratio of physician to population ratio.  Furthermore, primary care needs of an individual community will vary by a number of factors such as the age of the community's population.  Additionally, the formula used to designate primary care HPSAs does not take into account the availability of additional primary care services provided by Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants in an area. Other sources describing primary care supply use other ratios; for example, a ratio of 1 physician to 2,000 population. To meet this ratio, approximately 16,000 more primary care physicians would need to be added to the current supply in HPSAs.The formula used to designate primary care HPSAs does not take into account the availability of additional primary care services provided by nurse practitioners and Dental HPSA Assistants in an area.

Mental Health HPSAs

There are currently approximately 4,000 Mental Health HPSAs. Mental Health HPSAs are based on a psychiatrist to population ratio of 1:30,000.  In other words, when there are 30,000 or more people per psychiatrist, an area is eligible to be designated as a mental health HPSA. Applying this formula, it would take approximately 2,800 additional psychiatrists to eliminate the current mental health HPSA designations. Additionally, while the regulations allow mental health HPSA designations to be based either on a psychiatrist-to-population ratio or core mental health provider-to-population ratio, most mental health HPSA designations are currently based on the psychiatrists-only-to-population ratio.  Core mental health providers include psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, psychiatric nurse specialists, and marriage and family therapists.

Dental HPSAs

There are currently approximately 4,900 Dental HPSAs. Dental HPSAs are based on a dentist-to-population ratio of 1:5,000. In other words, when there are 5,000 or more people per dentist, an area is eligible to be designated as a dental HPSA. 7,300 additional dentists would be eliminated by the current dental HPSA using this formula.

Automatic HPSAs
All Federally Qualified Health Centers and rural health clinics (i.e., facilities which receive federal grants to provide healthcare to underserved populations) are automatically considered HPSAs. "Look-a-like" community-based providers which satisfy HRSA regulations for health centers but not the statutory requirements for grants are also automatically designated. Facilities serving federally recognized Native American tribes, including Alaskan Natives (including all Indian Health Service ,as well as tribally run or dual-funded facilities) are also automatically designated.

MUAs/MUPs

Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs) may be a whole county or a group of contiguous counties, a group of the county or civil divisions, or a group of urban census tracts in which residents have a shortage of personal health services. Medically Underserved Populations (MUPs) may include groups of persons who face economic, cultural, or linguistic barriers to health care.

HPSA designations
Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) Section 413(b) required CMS to revise some of the policies that address HPSA bonus payments. Section 1833(m) of the Social Security Act provides bonus payments for physicians who furnish medical care services in geographic areas that are designated by the HRSA as primary medical care HPSAs under section 332 (a)(1)(A) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. In addition, for claims with dates of service on or after July 1, 2004, psychiatrists (provider specialty 26) furnishing services in mental health HPSAs are also eligible to receive bonus payments. If a zip code falls within both primary care and mental health HPSA, only one bonus will be paid on the service.

Effective January 1, 2005, a modifier no longer has to be included on claims to receive the HPSA bonus payment, which will be paid automatically, if services are provided in ZIP code areas that either fall entirely in a county designated as a full-county HPSA or fall entirely within the county, through a USPS determination of dominance, fall entirely within a partial county HPSA. However, if services are provided in ZIP code areas that do not fall entirely within a full county HPSA or partial county HPSA, the AQ modifier must be entered on the claim to receive the bonus.

Some other important points for physician bonuses include:
 Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) will base the bonus on the amount actually paid (not the Medicare approved payment amount for each service) and the ten-percent bonus will be paid on a quarterly basis.
 The HPSA bonus pertains only to physician's professional services. Should a service be billed that has both a professional and technical component, only the professional component will receive the bonus payment.
 The key to eligibility is not that the beneficiary lives in a HPSA nor that the physician's office or primary location is in a HPSA, but rather that the services are actually rendered in a HPSA.
 To be considered for the bonus payment, the name, address, and ZIP code of the location where the service was rendered must be included on all electronic and paper claim submissions.
 Physicians should verify the eligibility of their area for a bonus before submitting services with a HPSA modifier for areas they think may still require the submission of a modifier to receive the bonus payment.
 Services submitted with the AQ modifier will be subject to validation by Medicare.

Affordable Care Act of 2010 Changes (New for January 2011 for the HSIP Bonus)
The Affordable Care Act of 2010, Section 5501 (b)(4) expanded bonus payments for general surgeons in HPSAs.  Effective January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2015, physicians serving in designated HPSAs will receive an additional 10% bonus for major surgical procedures with a 10 or 90 day global period. This additional payment, referred to as the HPSA Surgical Incentive Payment (HSIP) will be combined with the original HPSA payment and will be paid on a quarterly basis.

Today's card is The Seer and is number Nine of the Major Arcana. This card would be more readily known by it's traditional name, the Hermit. As with the previous deck, the Major Arcana show us the various phases, or lessons if you will, of the spiritual journey. While some my attempt to skip the individual steps of this journey, there is a natural progression from The Fool, who represents innocence, naivety, and the beginning of a matter, to Oneness (The World) when one realizes that they are an integral part of all living things in the Universe and that we are all linked by Spirit. In the case of the Shapeshifter deck, there will be 81 cards rather than 78; the creators of this deck have added three additional cards that have significance in the Gwyddonic Druid Tradition which they practice. Note that moving through the phases of the Major Arcana doesn't complete your journey. The concepts continue to present themselves to you at ever deeper levels as they spiral in and out of your journey.
This card relates to the keywords completion, contemplation, and insight for few go where the Seer must travel. The meaning of this card relates to direct experience that causes a transition in your life or way of thinking and leads to completion of one phase before moving on to the next. As the Seer stands alone in a lush woodland, he is alone, much like the eagle he is becoming. This powerful bird of prey is the embodiment of power and keen awareness and also the qualities of swiftness, wisdom, and longevity. As an emblem of majesty, it is interesting to note that the eagle spends much of its time alone or with one other eagle, it's mate. associated with lightning and the powers that control rain and thunder, he understands the power of the Elements and how to work with them. While one arm has already shifted into an eagle's talon, the other holds aloft a large shining crystal that is illuminating his w ay on the path of enlightenment. Tapping into the divine, the Seer becomes the voice of Light and Prophecy, seeing clearly and gliding through various states of being.
A stream flows at the feet of this Seer, and the roots of an Oak tree wind beneath his feet. This symbolizes the Union of personal consciousness with that of Oneness. Green ferns weave through the base of the tree where a squirrel quietly eats three acorns and the standing stone behind him bears a spiral, representing the threefold path of the Goddess and the cycle of life. He wears a belt of red signifying the blood of life, and his tunic his bordered with the twining polarities of the cosmic web.
This card says that Divine sources are coming to your aid. You may meet someone with influence on your path who will take the form of spirit guide, teacher, or deity. But in order to hear this guidance, a bit of silence, meditation, and reflection will be needed. Take one step at a time, listen to your inner voice, and let go of your ego importance, possessiveness, and attachment to results. The Seer shows more need for contemplation, and acknowledging the Truths that you are not willing to sacrifice on your journey. Structure and working with patterns will allow you to align with your True Nature more completely.
May you be blessed with the ability to see that which is not readily seen on your path to the Divine and may you know and celebrate yourself as an integral part of the that which is holy!

Touching stories behind the first Olympics gold medals at Rio
(chinadaily.com.cn and Agencies) Updated: 2016-08-18 14:31 Comments

Vietnam: Veteran Hoang Xuan Vinh wins gold overcoming tough conditions
The 41-year-old veteran Hoang Xuan Vinh won the first-ever Olympic gold medal for Vietnam after claiming the men's 10m air pistol event in the 2016 Rio Olympics.
"I'm happy that I won the first Olympic gold for Vietnam," said Vinh after the match. "It will be my life-time memory."
To overcome that psychological shortcoming, Vinh resorted to another secret. For one year, he practiced only one simple posture over and over -- standing still, making no single moves, saying no single words for two consecutive hours.
Besides the psychological hurdle, Vinh has to overcome another obstacle related to Vietnam's limited budget for sports training. Each day, the marksman is allocated only 100 bullets for practice, one-fifth of the bullets his foreign peers receive.
Vinh took the last media shuttle bus back to the athletes' village after winning the medal as the Vietnam's Olympic Committee did not arrange a special pick-up service. Reporters did not realize they were riding with an Olympics champion until Vinh stepped off the bus, and they applauded loudly for Vinh.
Vietnamese state media reported that Vinh would receive $100,000 from the state on his return - a handsome sum in a country where the average annual income is around $2,100. The prize money will be paid in equal installments over 50 years, and Vinh will be 92 years old until then. The Vietnam government said the decision reflects the country's economic conditions.
