Skin tightening procedures are able to tighten and smooth the skin for a healthier, more youthful glow. These procedures promote new collagen growth deep within the skin in order to decrease the appearance of wrinkles and provide an overall refreshed look to the skin.
At the office of Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Steven H. Dayan of Chicago, Illinois, we use multiple technologies for skin tightening. These can improve mild to moderate fine lines and wrinkles occurring around the eyes and mouth, as well as mild to moderate skin laxity, or sagging in various spots on the body. It is a good option for individuals in need of more limited lifting who are not yet ready for a facelift, and for those who have already had a facelift and need a little touch-up.
Minimally invasive skin tightening procedures are performed in the office, do not require anesthesia and involve minimal risk. Treatment times average thirty minutes to one hour depending on the area being treated. It is important to remember that these are progressive treatments. Results are not seen immediately but rather improve with time.
Achieve younger-looking skin on your face and body with this advanced microneedling and fractional radio frequency (RF) device at SDMD designed to smooth the skin. Morpheus8 targets the skin in the treatment area more deeply than any other microneedling device available, affecting deeper layers of skin and fat with the tiny needles and fractionated radio frequency energy. The treatment encourages the skin’s natural healing process while at the same time tightening, lifting, and smoothing lax regions for an immediate and dramatic overall rejuvenation effect, all without the need for surgery.
Morpheus8 may help to:
- Diminish lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds
- Lift and tighten lax skin in various areas, such as around the jowls
- Smooth skin
- Reveal a younger-looking appearance
- Provide long-lasting skin rejuvenation

An outbreak of proliferative haemorrhagic enteropathy (PHE) occurred in two epidodes and affected 372 adult pigs in the breeding units of a minimal disease piggery; 186 pigs died. In the initial episode breeding sows and boars of all ages were affected, suggesting infection of a fully susceptible population. Animals involved in the first episode of the disease did not show clinical symptoms at a later date and further clinical cases occurred only in animals introduced into the breeding population. Antibiotic feed medication was an effective method of prophylaxis. Bacteria resembling Campylobacter sputorum subspecies mucosalis were isolated from the intestinal mucosa of affected animals.

City Keeping Employees Off of Inappropriate Web Sites
CORPUS CHRISTI (Kiii News) -
The City of Corpus Christi is said to be keeping a close watch these days on workers who use city computers. The idea is to make sure they are not using them to look at pornography.
John Spiess is with the City's Department of Municipal Information Systems. They are the ones who investigate such things. He says a number of City employees have recently been disciplined for viewing pornography in the workplace, and they do have ways now of keeping track of that sort of thing.
"In the past, we have allowed incidental internet usage by employees for personal use, much like you do on a telephone, because in all truth, how would you police that," Spiess said. "But it's understood it can't be inappropriate action, and with Mr. Olson coming here, he has stressed it at a more senior level."
All City employees have to sign an agreement that they won't be visiting inappropriate Web sites on City time and using equipment.


Malayalam director Jeethu Joseph unveiled the first look motion poster of his upcoming film Kooman - The Night Rider. He has teamed up with actor Asif Ali, who will be playing the lead role. The announcement was made on Wednesday, February 2. Kooman marks the first-time collaboration between Jeethu Joseph and Asif Ali. Bankrolled by producer Allwin Antony under the banner of Annaya Films, the movie is written by KR Krishnakumar
Sharing the motion poster, Jeethu Joseph wrote: “Unveiling the title and motion poster of my next #Kooman - The Night Rider starring #AsifAli, written by #KRKrishnakumar & Produced by #AllwinAntony under the banner of #AnanyaFilms !!! (sic).” Actor Asif Ali also shared the video on his official Instagram handle and wrote, “The much-awaited announcement is here! Teaming up with Jeethu Joseph.”
With eerie music playing in the background, the motion poster depicts a man walking past what looks like a forest. We see an owl in the foreground and a silhouette of a man in the background. The motion poster hints at an intriguing horror or thriller flick. Further details about the cast and crew are awaited.
Jeethu Joseph’s last directorial venture was Drishyam 2 and the Telugu remake of the film, Drushyam 2. Headlined by superstar Mohanlal, Drishyam 2, is a sequel to the 2013 hit crime drama Drishyam. After its release in 2013, Drishyam was remade in other languages. Drishyam 2 released on Amazon Prime Video in February last year. The first installment traced the struggle of Georgekutty, played by Mohanlal, and his family after they come under suspicion when the son of Inspector General of Police Geetha Prabhakar gets killed. Like the first installment, the sequel also opened to largely positive responses. He is currently working on films such as Ram and 12th Man. Meanwhile, Aashiq Ali was seen in films like Kunjeldho, Ellam Sheriyakum and Aanum Pennum last year.

Sharp-eyed travellers can find an historical gem when visiting the village of Painswick, in the Cotswolds Hills of west-central England.
In 1644, Painswick was occupied by Parliamentarian forces during the English civil war.
It was later recaptured by Royalists, but the fighting was so severe that bullet and cannon shot marks remain to this day on the tower of the parish church of Saint Mary.
The marks are one of the highlights of the historic Gloucestershire village, which is built mainly of mellow, honey-coloured Cotswold stone and features quaint, narrow streets.
We visited Painswick to see friends who live nearby, but couldn’t pass up the chance to first spend time in the beautiful village that is promoted as the ‘Queen of the Cotswolds’.
Sitting quietly in the Cotswolds Hills and surrounded by lovely Gloucestershire countryside, Painswick is about two-and-a-quarter hours from London via the M4 motorway or two hours by train from Paddington Station.
Our first stop was the church, which is known world-wide for the yew trees planted in its grounds and an unusual ceremony held each September.
The church yard is famous because it boasts 99 yew trees. According to local folklore, many attempts to grow the 100th tree have never succeeded.
While no one seems willing to swear that the 100th tree story is correct, it certainly gets plenty of publicity and draws large numbers of visitors to the village.
Each September, the church is also the scene of a ‘Clypping’ ceremony that apparently comes from the old Saxon word ‘ycleping’ that means embracing. It involves local children carrying ‘nosegays’ or a small bunch of flowers, joining hands around the church to form an unbroken chain.
The children sing the Clypping Hymn as part of a re-dedication of the church. The custom is apparently thought to date to 1321.
While checking out the yew trees, we were impressed by the collection of chest tombs and monuments standing in the church yard.
Dating from the early 17th century onwards, the tombs were apparently carved in local stone by local craftsmen.
Church officials told us that the oldest tomb is dated 1623.
Behind the church, near the Painswick courthouse, are a set of 17th Century stocks and we wandered to the Falcon Hotel, said to have the oldest bowling green in England.
After a quick look at Painswick’s former post office, which is the only example of exposed timber framing in the village and the striking Georgian frontage of a building known as Beacon House, we took to the road to visit our friends.
Like most of the Cotswolds settlements, Painswick is a picture-postcard example of a traditional English village.
However the area’s historic gems like the civil war reminders, yew trees and the Clypping ceremony make this slice of heaven stand out from the crowd.
We wholeheartedly recommend a visit.

Prep football roundup
By Staff Reports
Published in Sports on November 22, 2009 1:50 AM
JACKSONVILLE -- Top-seeded and unbeaten Southwest Onslow eliminated James Kenan 17-6 from the N.C. High School Athletic Association 1-AA (large-school) football playoffs.
The Stallions (13-0 overall) entertain Pender on Friday.
The Tigers finished the season 7-6.
"Southwest is a very good football team and we knew it would be tough going in there," said Kenan head coach Ken Avent Jr. said. "We played a solid game, but we couldn't come up with that one big play to put the pressure on them."
James Kenan put together a 14-play, 10-minute drive in the opening quarter, but came up empty. A series of penalties prevented Avent Jr.'s team from getting into the end zone and gave Southwest some momentum.
The Stallions broke the scoreless tie on Zach Matics' 35-yard field goal in the second quarter.
"Our game plan was to keep them off the field and early in the game we did that," Avent Jr. said. "We converted a few third and longs, and were able to sustain a couple drives."
The teams played to a third-quarter stalemate.
Southwest scored twice in the final period on Jamaal Williams' 1-yard plunge and Aarace Brooks' 56-yard interception return.
James Kenan avoided the shutout on Parker Jones' 80-yard scoring strike to Dasmine Smith. Jones completed 5 off 11 passes for 123 yards, while Victor Parker led the ground game with 91 yards on 25 totes.
Kendric Faison paced the Tigers' defense with 15 tackles. Jaime Gonzales added eight stops. Delante Miller and Dontrill Hyman logged six tackles apiece, while Kyle Bostic had five tackles.
"I am really proud of this group of kids, and especially the seniors tha we had," said Avent Jr. "They had a lot of opportunity to give up this season and they never did which is impressive."
North Duplin 0
ELKIN -- Despite a 217-yard effort from Devin Oliver, North Duplin saw its season come to a close in a 26-0 loss at Elkin in the second round of the NCHSAA 1-A (small-school) football playoffs Friday evening.
Oliver accounted for 217 of the Rebels' 227 yards of total offense. The talented tailback finished the season with 1,466 yards and 10 touchdowns.
"We had some good drives," said North Duplin head coach Hugh Martin. "We had a penalty or two here or there that put us behind the chains a couple of times. We had one turnover as we were driving. Devin did a super job for us."
Rebels' quarterback James Kornegay ran the offense in the absence of starter Alan Schilling.
Elkin scored a touchdown in every quarter and led 14-0 at the half.
North Duplin closed the season by winning three of its last four games and finished 5-8 overall.
"It started with the Ayden-Grifton game we started playing a lot better," said Martin. "We had a great amount of intensity about us. Even though we didn't win at Ayden, we started playing better toward the end of the season."

If you’ve at any time considered seeing someone coming from another country, the chances are excellent that the idea excites and intrigue you. After all, who fails to want to experience a different culture and get acquainted with an entirely fresh group of people? However just like any type of partnership, dating in other countries could be a lot of work. You’ll likely always be navigating variations in social best practice rules and customs, and even politics ones.
Cultural differences can display a challenge, but they don’t have to become a barrier. As an example, in England and Indonesia, people may be direct and say the actual mean without worrying regarding hurting other peoples feelings — as opposed to in the usa where currently being overly polite is often the rule of the day. In addition , Families are trained that they have many options, and it can be difficult to settle on one individual when there are so many other “fish in the sea” to choose from. This can be seen in how women and men approach a date or possibly a first hug.
In North Korea, where people are strictly https://www.kientrucnha.net/uncategorized/features-of-a-american-wife.html monitored by the government, dating is growing rapidly almost impossible. However , some couples have been proven to meet in secret, and just spending time jointly is a so what for the folks there. In Japan, people are expected to be a bit more formal when they are going out with, which can make it tough for some couples. However there are some individuals that embrace the more structured internet dating rules and locate them to become very pleasant.
When it comes to flirting with someone from another country, do not focus too much on the words and customs and instead, focus on the things you have in accordance. This will allow you to build a strong foundation on what to move ahead with the marriage. For example , should your partner was raised celebrating Halloween really different way than you have, sharing this tradition with them can provide you with both a feeling of nostalgia.
As the romance grows, it will be vital that you understand what every other’s outlook are for the future of the relationship. For instance, if your spouse is right from Latin America, it’s usual to spend a while “friend zone”ing visit these guys – https://chinesebrideonline.com/shenzhen-women/ the love interest before moving on to a even more romantic relationship. This is sometimes a tricky transition for a few people, particularly if it feels like you’re just wasting time.
Sooner or later, you’ll need to decide if you want to move to the other’s country or perhaps if long-distance is what will work for you. This is an essential decision that can be extremely emotional, yet it’s also a chance for you to grow your romance even more and get a truly exceptional love message to tell.
In the end, dropping in love with an individual from a different country is an extremely rewarding knowledge. With a little planning and communication, you can earn the leap and find the happily-ever-after.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Tsubasa Kajitani’s first reaction to the magnitude of a title at Augusta National was a heavy, audible sigh.
Could you put into words what winning this event means to you?
Where to begin.
Then again, it was that kind of day at the iconic course. The lead changed so many times it was head-spinning. Kajitani was two shots back at the start of the day. When she birdied Nos. 14 and 15 – right about the time the leaders were splashing through Amen Corner – Kajitani suddenly had the outright lead. Even a double-bogey at No. 17 couldn’t derail her day.
Kajitani, at the urging of a veteran caddie who has carried the bag for other Japanese amateurs at Augusta National, put it in the rearview. It was key in finishing off her day.
“I changed my mind and I just switched off and switched on to the 18th,” she said. “So that’s why I made a par on 18.”
It took another par there in an extra hole with Emilia Migliaccio, but Kajitani now has the honor of being the first player from Japan to win at Augusta National. She followed Hinako Shibuno, who won the AIG Women’s British Open in 2019 to become the first Japanese major winner.
The 17-year-old said she hoped this title would improve her World Amateur Golf Ranking. Ideally, she’d like more of this stage. That should hardly be a problem.
“I’ve played a few professional tournaments in Japan, as well as some big tournaments in America, but you can’t really compare with this tournament,” Kajitani said.
As the Olympics heads to Tokyo in Augusta, golf in that country will be in the spotlight.
The back nine at Augusta National traditionally features some heroics. It certainly presented that two years ago when Kupcho played the last six holes in 5 under for a 67 and a four-shot win at the inaugural Augusta National Women’s Amateur.
This year, the back nine was more like a hard reset as a handful of players crowded the top of the leaderboard and traded the lead. Rose Zhang, the world No. 1 amateur and a co-leader at the start of the day, was the last one to fall away.
Zhang, 17 and a favorite this week, scrambled from the first tee shot – which landed left in the trees – and got up-and-down for par from the front bunker there. Her undoing ultimately started at the 13th, where she drove it left in the creek and eventually had to go back to the tee. She pulled a 3-wood to go for the green from 202 yards, landed in the penalty area and eventually walked away with a triple bogey that put her behind the eight-ball for the rest of the day.
She birdied 14 but bogeyed 17 and ultimately bowed out when she failed to make a 10-footer for birdie on No. 18 that would have allowed her to join the playoff at 1 over.
“I think for this event, I could have played a lot better,” Zhang said. “There were a lot of small things that I really want to work on when I get back, so hopefully I’ll just be able to take some notes and then come back even stronger.”
Only one player broke 70 on Saturday and it was Maja Stark, who holed an 18-footer for birdie to make the 36-hole cut and teed off in the first group. After firing a 77 – which included a back-nine 42 – here two years ago, Stark strung together six birdies on her way to a redemptive 69.
Only four other players broke par.
“The course is a lot tougher than what it was,” said Olivia Mehaffey, a fifth-year senior at Arizona State who finished ninth after a closing 75. “I knew we were never going to see a 67.”
Count Mehaffey among the women who, at one point, sat in the driver’s seat. She had a share of the lead until she reached the 12th tee, where she waffled between an 8- and a 9-iron. She chose the 9, tried to hit it hard and caught it heavy instead, leaving it in the water on her way to double-bogey.
Mehaffey, a walking azalea in her pink sweater and matching skirt, went for the green in two on the par-5 13th and splashed that one, too.
“Thought for a minute it was really good,” she said. She scrambled for par there, played the next four in even and closed with a bogey to land at 3 over.
This is likely the last time Mehaffey will compete at Augusta National, having already delayed a professional career for an extra year at Arizona State – a decision forced by the pandemic. But the reroute brought many blessings, not the least of which was another shot at Augusta National.
“I’m kind of the person that tries to make the best out of whatever situation I’m in,” she said.
Saturday nearly presented a storybook swan song for Emilia Migliaccio, too. The Wake Forest senior started the day four shots off the lead, birdied the first hole and knew she was in the game.
“I was looking at the leaderboard the whole time,” she said. “My coach told me to be aggressive all day out there and if you get in the lead just play more conservatively and see what happens.”
Migliaccio has been ranked as highly as No. 3 in the world. She has won five times in college golf and is a likely selection to the U.S. Curtis Cup team this fall. But this year began with the tough but validating decision that she won’t turn professional after graduating from Wake Forest in the spring. Instead, she’ll join Golf Channel’s editorial staff for the summer before returning to Wake Forest to work on a master’s degree in communication, a two-year program.
Kim Lewellen, head women’s golf coach, had many discussions with Migliaccio about the future. Ultimately, Migliaccio’s decision not to pursue professional golf was freeing. It was firm too.
With an ANWA trophy in her hands, would she have revisited her immediate future?
“It wouldn’t have changed her mind a bit,” Lewellen said.
Migliaccio had her mom Ulrika on the bag on Saturday, a mother-daughter team that was a first at Augusta National. Nearly 30 years ago, as an All-American in women’s golf at Arizona, Ulrika made a similar decision to pursue finance instead of professional golf.
“The golf, the better she got, I believe, the more emotionally draining it became,” she said of her daughter’s career.
Ulrika’s second ride in the game came as a golf mom but, as she noted, “this might be the last rodeo.” She’s caddied for Emilia in at least a dozen tournaments.
A win would have brought Emilia a five-year ANWA exemption, but her world ranking could remain high enough for a return trip. Perhaps there is another scene to play out at Augusta National in the Migliaccio story.
That, however, will have to come in a later act.
“I’m ready for a new chapter,” she said. “I see a lot of opportunities for myself still in the golf industry but not as a professional golfer, and I’m so happy with that decision.”

ABSTRACT: Objective. Rheumatoid nodules (RN), a classic cutaneous extra-articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis, can often cause discomfort or cosmetic embarrassment. This research determined the effectiveness and complications of corticosteroid injection of the RN.
Methods. Using a repeated measure design, 66 consecutive symptomatic RN were measured, underwent corticosteroid injection with 1 to 2mL of a 50:50 mixture of 1% lidocaine and triamcinolone acetonide (20–40mg), and then reassessed at four months for softening, reduction in size, and complications, including infection.
Results. The mean age of our patient group was 53.3±10.6 years; 45 percent were Hispanic, 55 percent were non-Hispanic White, 100 percent were seropositive (rheumatoid factor and/or anti-CCP antibody), and 87.5 percent were female. Baseline mean RN diameter was 0.50±0.51cm and four months after injection was reduced to 0.29±0.33cm (decreased 42% or 0.21±0.57cm reduction, 95% CI: 0.46 <0.21< 0.37, p=0.013), 100 percent (66/66) were less painful, and 77 percent (51/66) were palpably softened. However, 70 percent (46/66) demonstrated cutaneous atrophy and/or hypopigmentation at four months, 53 percent (35/66) nodules recurred within 12 months, and 47 percent (31/66) nodules were eventually surgically removed.
Limitations. Two (3%) of the larger RN (2.5cm on the olecranon and 2cm on the 2nd toe) became infected and failed antibiotic therapy, necessitating surgical excision for complete resolution.
Conclusion. For short-term symptomatic relief, smaller RN can be safely injected with triamcinolone. Large symptomatic RN (≥2cm) are at greater risk of infection; thus, in these cases, lower corticosteroid doses or surgical excision may be preferred. In the long-term, effective systemic antirheumatic therapy with treat-to-target is the best approach.

Rheumatoid nodules, the classic cutaneous manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), are associated with seropositivity, vasculitis, erosion, extraarticular complications, and more severe disease, but must be differentiated from gout tophi, sebaceous cysts, foreign body granulomas, multicentric reticulohistocytosis, and other confounding skin lesions.1-3 The nodules are typically firm, nontender, and freely movable within the subcutaneous tissue, although they can be attached to deeper structures such as periosteum, fascia, or tendons.2 They are usually from 2mm to greater than 5cm in diameter (Figure 1). Rheumatoid nodules tend to arise in areas subject to pressure or trauma, particularly over bony prominences. Thus, these lesions are found most commonly on extensor surfaces such as the olecranon process and the proximal portion of the ulna. Other locations frequently involved include the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints, the ischial tuberosities, various joints in the foot, and the sacrum. Although rheumatoid nodules are usually asymptomatic, they can cause pain, can be easily traumatized, causing non-healing ulcers, and commonly result in cosmetic embarrassment for the patient.
To resolve rheumatoid nodulosis, effective antirheumatic systemic therapy for RA and cessation of cigarette smoking are always indicated, and resolution or reduction in size of nodules is often observed with effective therapy.4-7 However, certain systemic therapies for RA may actually provoke rheumatoid nodules, especially methotrexate and anti-tumor necrosis factor drugs.8-10 Thus, if the patient is otherwise responding to anti-rheumatic therapy, surgery is often used for symptomatic or troublesome rheumatoid nodules, especially if ulcerated or infected.2,3,11,12 Another alternative is injection of the rheumatoid nodule with fluorouracil or corticosteroid, treatments that have been shown to decrease nodule size.13,14 Corticosteroid alone is most commonly injected into the nodules, and has been shown to be effective by pioneering studies of Ching et al and Baan et al, but there has been concern about subsequent infection.2,14-17 The incidence of infection after corticosteroid injection is unclear as the study by Ching et al injected 24 nodules and the study by Baan et al nine nodules with corticosteroid with no reported infections, implying an infection rate of three percent or lower.2,14-17 In the present study, we injected a larger number of rheumatoid nodules of various sizes specifically to determine clinical response rates, long-term outcome, and complications, including infection.
Inclusion and exclusion criteria and study structure. This project was approved by the institutional review board (IRB) (Human Protections Office of the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA). All studies were carried out in accordance with the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki (JBJS 79A:1089-98,1997). Patient confidentiality was protected according to the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and all data has been de-identified. Using a clinical care repeated measure design where each nodule served as its own control, we injected consecutively 66 rheumatoid nodules in eight RA patients over a 10-year period and the data was logged into our procedure database.The IRB permitted retrospective analysis of our procedure database and medical records to determine outcomes. Inclusion criteria for nodule injection were 1) individual 18 years of age or older, 2) the diagnosis of RA, 3) the presence of symptomatic or cosmetically displeasing rheumatoid nodules, and 4) the desire of the patient to have the nodule injected rather than surgically removed. Exclusion criteria were 1) impaired, incarcerated, or pregnant individuals, 2) individuals younger than 18 years, 3) the presence of an erosion or infection on or in the rheumatoid nodule or overlying skin, or 4) allergy or intolerance to lidocaine or triamcinolone acetonide. RA was classified using the American College of Rheumatology/European League of Rheumatism 2010 Rheumatoid Arthritis Classification Criteria.18
All patients complained of a rheumatoid nodule that was painful, awkward, or cosmetically offensive and wished to have the nodule injected rather than removed surgically (Figures 1 and 2). All participants signed informed consent before any examination or procedures.
Patients were examined on the day of the procedure and four months later. Nodule diameter was determined by palpation in the longest axis and was expressed in centimeters (cm). Long-term follow up and the interventions of excisional surgery or reinjection were determined by patient interview and retrospective medical chart review. Complications including adverse medication reactions, skin depigmentation or atrophy, hematoma, or infection were recorded.
Injection technique. The sixty-six rheumatoid nodules consisted of 18 nodules on the thumb, 31 nodules on fingers other than the thumb, 13 nodules over the olecranon process of the elbow, and four nodules on the foot or toes. The rheumatoid nodule was palpated and marked with ink (Figure 2). The skin was first cleaned with chlorhexidine 2% for antisepsis. Depending on the diameter and depth of the nodule, a 25 gauge 5/8 inch (15.9mm) or 1.5 inch (38.1mm) needle (BD, Franklin Lakes, New Jersey) was mounted on a 1- or 3-mL syringe (1- or 3mL Luer Lok syringe, BD) filled with 1ml of 1% lidocaine (Xylocaine® 1%, AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP, Wilmington, Delaware) and 1mL (40mg) triamcinolone acetonide (Kenalog® 40, Westwood-Squibb Pharmaceuticals, Inc, New York, New York). Since there is no real or potential space in a rheumatoid nodule, a 1- or 3-mL syringe was necessary to generate adequate pressure to inject into and rupture the resistant substance of the rheumatoid nodule.19 The 25g needle was introduced through the skin and through the proximal tissue into the substance of the rheumatoid nodule (Figures 2 and 3). Aspiration was then attempted and if there was no fluid or blood yield, the lidocaine/triamcinolone was then injected into the nodule until the nodule fractured (ruptured and dilated with injectate) (Figure 4). 1 mL (20mg triamcinolone acetonide in 0.5mL of 1% lidocaine) was used on nodules 2cm or less in diameter, and 2mL (40mg triamcinolone acetonide in 0.5ml of 1% lidocaine) was used on nodules greater than 2cm in diameter. The needle was then extracted, and firm pressure applied to the puncture site. The puncture area was washed with chlorhexidine and a sterile adhesive bandage was applied and then reassessed at four months for softening, reduction in size, and complications, including infection.
Data analysis. Data were entered into Excel (Version 5, Microsoft, Seattle, Washington), and analyzed in Simple Interactive Statistical Analysis (SISA) (Consultancy for Research and Statistics, Hilversum, The Netherlands). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the demographic and clinical characteristics. Continuous variables were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) and categorical variables were expressed as total number with percentiles. Measurement data was analyzed using the Student t-Test calculating both p values and confidence intervals.
The mean age of the rheumatoid nodule cohort was 53.3±10.6 years, 45 percent were Hispanic, 55 percent were non-Hispanic White, 100 percent were seropositive (rheumatoid factor and/or anti-CCP antibody), and 87.5 percent were female. Baseline mean rheumatoid nodule diameter was 0.50±0.51cm and decreased to 0.29±0.33cm four months after the injection (a reduction of 42% or 0.21±0.57 cm; 95% CI: 0.46 <0.21< 0.37, p=0.013). One hundred percent (66/66) were less painful, and 77 percent (51/66) were palpably softened. However, 70 percent (46/66) demonstrated cutaneous atrophy or skin depigmentation at four months (Figure 5). Moreover, 53 percent (35/66) nodules recurred within 12 months, 50 percent (33/66) were re-injected, and 47 percent (31/66) nodules were eventually surgically excised. Two (3%) of the larger rheumatoid nodules (2.5cm on the olecranon and 2cm on the second toe) became infected with methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and were treated unsuccessfully with antibiotics (Figure 5). Subsequent surgical excision was required with subsequent complete resolution.
Hollingworth first described the technique of corticosteroid injection to decrease the size of rheumatoid nodules in 1968.17 Later Ching et al15 using injected methylprednisolone and Baan et al16 using injected triamcinolone described statistically significant decreases in the size of rheumatoid nodules in controlled studies. The present study using a paired repetitive measure design confirms that corticosteroid injection of rheumatoid nodules decreases the size (diameter) of rheumatoid nodules. The present study described a 42-percent decrease in nodule size, 100 percent reduction in pain, and 77 percent palpable softening of the rheumatoid nodule. This is similar to the 25 to 50 percent reduction in nodule size and pain reported by Ching et al,15 and the 30 to 80 percent reduction in size and pain reported by Baan et al.16 Neither previous study reported actual softening of the rheumatoid nodule in addition to reduced size, although this is somewhat a subjective determination. Injection of rheumatoid nodules with fluorouracil has also been reported, but this technique has never become popular for treating rheumatoid nodules, due to the perceived toxic nature of fluorouracil.13,14
Injection of rheumatoid nodules is not routinely performed in contemporary medicine for a number of reasons. First, modern systemic therapy of rheumatoid arthritis with disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDS) and biologics have been shown to reduce the size and number of rheumatoid nodules, presumably from decreasing systemic disease activity, thus suppressing the processes that drive rheumatoid nodule formation.4-9 For example, corticosteroids, sulfasalazine, colchicine, penicillamine, tocilizumab, and rituximab amongst others have been reported to decrease nodule size and numbers.2-8 On the other hand, methotrexate, infliximab, and cigarette smoking have been reported to increase rheumatoid nodule formation in some patients.7-10 Moreover, in contemporary RA treat-to-target strategies recommend either placing patients on combination antirheumatic therapy or switching to a completely different drug regimen in patients who develop rheumatoid nodules or other extraarticular manifestations.20 Thus, many or most patients will eventually be placed on antirheumatic therapy that has the potential to reduce rheumatoid nodule formation, and thus direct injection treatment of the nodule is often not necessary.2-8, 20
Another reason that injection of rheumatoid nodules is not frequently performed is the concern of infection resulting from the injection.2,7,15-17 Infections are theoretically more likely in the rheumatoid nodule due to the structure of the nodule, which is that of a granuloma.1-3 As recently reported in the excellent histopathologic study of Shin and colleagues,3 a typical rheumatoid nodule consists of an external layer of highly vascular granulation tissue with perivascular lymphocytic infiltration, a layer of less vascularized stromal fibrosis and palisading histiocytes, and an avascular center or cleft of fibrinoid necrosis containing immunoglobulins and other proteins, often complicated by cystic degeneration. If the avascular fibrinoid necrosis or cystic area becomes infected, it may be resistant to antibiotic because of the absence of a resident blood supply, and chronic draining fistulae may result (Figure 5).2, 3,12
The prior studies of Ching et al15 and Baan et al16 reported a total of 33 rheumatoid nodules injected with corticosteroid with no infections. While encouraging, these small numbers of cases would not typically detect an infection rate below three percent and did not reflect other previous publications in which infections and fistulae after corticosteroid injection of rheumatoid nodules were documented.1,2,15-17 In this study, 66 nodules were injected and two infections (3%) were noted, both infections in nodules 2cm in diameter or larger (one an olecranon and one a toe nodule). Both rheumatoid nodules were infected with methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and resulted in fistulae formation, were clinically resistant to antibiotic therapy, and required complete excision of the infected nodule for complete resolution. Infections associated with corticosteroid injections can be widely diverse and can include common organisms such as Staphylococcus or Streptococcus, or may be polymicrobial, or involve unusual fungal or bacterial species.21,22
Other reasons that corticosteroid injection of rheumatoid nodules is not routinely performed are the complications of skin depigmentation and dermal atrophy (Figure 5).23 In the present study, 70 percent (46/66) demonstrated cutaneous atrophy or skin depigmentation at three months which is considerable, although this complication is generally reversible. It is likely that the larger triamcinolone dose (20-40mg) used in the present study contributed to this complication, as Ching et al used lower doses (4-10mg) and did not note this level of atrophy or depigmentation.15 Moreover, in the present study, injected rheumatoid nodules tended to recur.2 The present study demonstrated that of the 66 nodules injected 53 percent (35/66) nodules recurred within 12 months likely due to incomplete systemic disease control. Thus, in the present study 47 percent (31/66) nodules were eventually surgically removed after multiple injections, again emphasizing the tendency for the nodules to recur in the setting of higher systemic disease activity.
Limitations. This was not a randomized controlled study, but a case series. Nonetheless, the evidence regarding complications of corticosteroid injection of rheumatoid nodules is likely reliable. Also, the injected nodules occurred in various areas of the body, rather than in a standardized anatomic location. Alternatively, these variable anatomic locations closely resemble the typical nodule locations of a patient with RA and nodulosis seen in the outpatient setting. As is common practice, multiple symptomatic nodules were injected in the same patient, potentially confounding the effects of local corticosteroid versus systemic corticosteroid effects on individual nodules. Finally, the current treat-to-target strategies may suppress rheumatoid nodules through more effective systemic therapy of the underlying rheumatoid process, reducing the need for directed rheumatoid nodule treatment.20
For short-term symptomatic relief, rheumatoid nodules can generally be safely injected with corticosteroid. In the long-term effective treat-to-target systemic antirheumatic therapy is the preferable choice. Large nodules (≥2cm) are at greater risk of infection; in these larger symptomatic nodules the use of lower corticosteroid doses, watchful waiting for effective systemic RA suppression with treat-to-target strategies, or initial surgical excision may be preferred.

City commission discusses Town Branch plans, fate of flood-damaged building still unknown
Published 5:35 pm Thursday, December 9, 2021
The Winchester Board of Commissioners continues to discuss plans to repair the Town Branch drainage system while a local business owner waits to hear on the fate of his building.
Stephanie Blain of Palmer Engineering presented plans to the board on Tuesday designed to curb events like the Oct. 7 downtown flash flood.
The worst flood damage took place on E. Broadway St. when the overburdened drainage system eroded the foundation of the building that houses Cartwright Designs.
Email newsletter signup
The building sustained a partial collapse and was condemned the next day, leaving the design shop closed and tenants in the upstairs apartments displaced.
Two plans seek to remedy the issue by moving the drainage system out from under the building by installing a series of box culverts.
One plan has the drainage system starting in Church Aly. before it connects with Broadway St. The estimated cost is currently $985,011.
Blain said existing utility lines would make that plan “trickier” than the others.
An alternative plan would have the culverts start behind the alley on Highland St. and then connect it on Broadway. The estimated cost is currently $1.4 million.
Blain said the issues presented by the alley utility lines also affect the plan but that it presents “reduced crossings” once work began on the Broadway St. section.
A third plan would have the city purchase the building, demolish it and replace the culvert in its current location. The project would cost $581,518.
Blain said it would not cause any issues with traffic in the area. The other two plans would require a road closure.
Palmer does have an estimate for how much it would cost to fix the building.
“We have estimated the building repairs currently at $215,00,” Blain said. “A large amount of that is the fill that would be required under the floor slab to stabilize all that.”
City Manager Mike Flynn said that structural engineers recently did some salvage work at the building.
“They performed work within the building. There’s been a lot of the debris inside the building that included a car and a lot of the things around the structure that had felled in that area have been removed,” he said.
The building’s owner, Wes Cartwright, still has concerns, which he relayed through his father, Don.
“He’s got financial stress right now,” Don Cartwright said. “It’s been two months; the bills haven’t stopped.”
Cartwright said that Wes cannot do any work since the utilities remain shut off at the building.
“He has no income, and he hasn’t for two months. There’s no income foreseeable until he gets some electric turn on down there,” Cartwright said.
He asked if the city could do anything to help his son.
Mayor Ed Burtner did not say the city would not help, but he advised that discussions between Cartwright’s attorney and the attorney for the city’s insurance carrier “need to play out.”
The board heard the first reading of two ordinances.
The first ordinance would create an administrative hearing board to serve both the city and county.
The proposed board would have five members: two appointed by the mayor, two appointed by the judge-executive and one appointed by both. It would be in charge of enforcing uniform building code standards, violations and penalties, providing appeal hearings, issuing property liens, and adopting a nuisance code.
The second ordinance, number 6.5-51, would amend the city’s nepotism policy.
Both ordinances require another public reading before they can be voted on.
GRC JROTC Honored
The board honored the national champion George Rogers Clark JROTC team with certificates of recognition.
The men’s team took first place in the team competition at the JRTOC All-Service Raider Nationals held last month in Georgia.
Burtner awarded the key to the city to the squad’s commander, Logan Dawson.
Dawson took home an individual national championship in the Ultimate Raider event.
Depot Street will be closed from 4 to 9 p.m. next Tuesday, Dec. 14, for the Winchester Old Fashioned Christmas Parade.
The parade starts at 6 p.m. and will move continuously along Main St. to the Hickman St. intersection.
The Clark County Homeless Coalition, representing several other local organizations, requested and received approval from the board for $5,400 to help house the homeless during extreme winter weather events.
The city received the board’s approval to surplus three SUVs from its fleet of vehicles.
The board voted to hire Bryan Duty and Kelly Webster as EMTs.

Date palms have always been one of Iraq’s national samples. It is the country’s national tree and its existence has been documented to the earliest periods of the country’s history. Named “The Black Land” due to the black horizontal line of millions of date palm trees located in southern Iraq, by the 1970s-80s, Iraq had about 30 million date palms, producing 1 million tons of dates yearly. However, over the past four decades production has fallen; largely due to Iraq's famous waterways been exposed to political and economic hardships.
During the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988) vast agricultural lands suffered a great deal of damage. In the 1990s farmers were left to fend for themselves amid severe international economic sanctions against Iraq. Decades of wars, infrastructure neglect and the impact of climate change have all contributed to deteriorating agriculture output in Iraq. Today, the number of date palms have nearly halved. From 30 million to a mere 17 million, of which only 11 million are actually palm date-producing. To cover the increased domestic demand, date imports from neighbouring countries have witnessed a rise which has further influenced the local markets.
To diversify Iraq's economy, new governmental initiatives are pushing the private sector towards investing in agriculture. One of the recently established projects is Fadak Farms, located 160 kilometres south of Baghdad in the western desert of Najaf governorate.
Fadak Farms is a commercial endeavour established in 2011 by the Shia Endowment Authorities - Imam Ali Shrine’s foundation. Today, the Farms has cultivated 12,500,000 square meters (out of 20,000,000 square meters) of its total farms’ area. The project is boosting the local economy by providing employment and high-quality products, which, in turn contributing to the overall stability. Mr Mustafa Anber, the head of Fadak Farms said
“Our project does not only support economy but also provides stability, especially now with the oil prices drop and the pandemic, we need to rely on developing local economy”
Anber went on to say that the project is also aiming to reclaim larger areas of the desert in Najaf, by re-greening it with grassland. “We want to establish an integrated agricultural land in Najaf where we can expand our production to include fruits, vegetables, and fodder crops, besides date palms”. Animal husbandry is also included in the Farms expansion plans. The project also includes planting grain crops such as wheat, and they are smaller special farms for planting flowers and fruit and vegetable seedlings”.
According to a 2011 report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), Iraq is under increasing pressure to feed its population, which grows by 2.8 percent annually. To combat the pressure, Iraq will need much more than the current USD 5 billion to import basic food to meet the annual shortages. Sustainably cultivated domestic production is the solution.
Fighting desertification is one of the problems that Fadak Farms administration is working hard to combat. The farms are located in remote areas outside Najaf city. It is part of the desert that has been expanding for years because of loss of arable lands. The Endowment provided water to its project by drilling wells at depths of 150-200 meters This is particularly important as the Tigris and Euphrates rivers do not pass through Fadak Farms areas.
However, this approach is not risk-free, because groundwater is not always suitable for agricultural purposes. Thankfully, the water pumped up from the wells at the Fadak Farms proved fresh and usable. The Farms also introduced sustainable farming through the implementation of new irrigation technology like central sprinklers, linear sprinklers, and fixed sprinklers.
In 2020 unemployment rate in Iraq stood at 12.82 % compared to 9.12% in 2003. But this increase has been the case for decades. In last couple of years, unemployment reached unprecedented rates. This pushed Iraqis to take to the streets demanding grand reforms including more job opportunities for younger people. According to Anber, Fadark Farms is helping with local unemployment issues. Hundreds of employees have been recruited, and with the expansion plans, more positions will be open soon. The farm has employed veterinarians, engineers, administrators, accountants, workers, farmers, and guards most of them are from Najaf governorate.
“We give people who live nearby the propriety to work in our farms. This way we are fighting local unemployment at least”
More Fadak Farms
The Endowment is running several ‘Fadak’-projects. The direct supervision is under different religious authorities. For example, in Karbala governorates, there is another Fadak Farm around 5 million cubic meters, that is mainly designed for cultivating the finest species of date palms. This farm contains around 21,000 palms, and its production in 2020 was around25 tons of dates.
“Year after year we are becoming a well-known brand. There’s an increasing demand in our products, and we are working hard to supply the local markets” Fadak farms dates became a popular product in the local markets, especially cities around Karbala.
“That was not an easy work, it required patient but now our exceptional efforts are paying off. We also see that our hard work has motivated others to invest in agriculture in Iraq” Anber added.
Fadak Farms have opened the door for other agricultural investments in the desert. For example, a new project by a Kuwaiti businessman invested in planting date palms in the deep southern desert of Basra. The area was a battlefield during the first Gulf War in 1991 but now it is a flourishing farm; Al-Babtain. This first of its kind project is a big step towards maintaining peace with neighbours and strengthening economic relations and growth.
“The project reportedly plans to grow 80,000 date palms and build a nature reserve for deers and ostriches. So far the project cost is $58 million, and we have around 15,000 date palms”. Said the deputy investor.
Iraq authorities granted this project a business tax exemption to encourage more investors. Iraq hopes that by facilitating such investments, the economy will improve. Such projects are also playing a vital role in stability by providing jobs, improving the environment and rebuilding the country's crippling economy.

The textbooks for college courses can cost a pretty penny, especially if the publishers keep putting out a new edition year after year. Even if students manage to find someone to purchase their used copies, it's still a losing proposition for the average student. That all might change soon in California.

Beginning at noon ET today, YouTube will roll out a new Creative Commons designation within the YouTube Video Editor which will allow video uploaders to license their work under the CC-By-3.0 license or to browse through a library of "over 10,000 Creative Commons videos," including some uploaded by C-SPAN, PublicResource.org, Voice of America, and Al-Jazeera. Especially neat is the set of possibilities this will open up for video remixers.

Poem by Anne Brontë
A Voice From The Dungeon
I'm buried now; I've done with life; I've done with hate, revenge and strife; I've done with joy, and hope and love And all the bustling world above. Long have I dwelt forgotten here In pining woe and dull despair; This place of solitude and gloom Must be my dungeon and my tomb. No hope, no pleasure can I find: I am grown weary of my mind; Often in balmy sleep I try To gain a rest from misery, And in one hour of calm repose To find a respite from my woes, But dreamless sleep is not for me And I am still in misery. I dream of liberty, 'tis true, But then I dream of sorrow too, Of blood and guilt and horrid woes, Of tortured friends and happy foes; I dream about the world, but then I dream of fiends instead of men; Each smiling hope so quickly fades And such a lurid gloom pervades That world -- that when I wake and see Those dreary phantoms fade and flee, Even in my dungeon I can smile, And taste of joy a little while. And yet it is not always so; I dreamt a little while ago That all was as it used to be: A fresh free wind passed over me; It was a pleasant summer's day, The sun shone forth with cheering ray, Methought a little lovely child Looked up into my face and smiled. My heart was full, I wept for joy, It was my own, my darling boy; I clasped him to my breast and he Kissed me and laughed in childish glee. Just them I heard in whisper sweet A well known voice my name repeat. His father stood before my eyes; I gazed at him in mute surprise, I thought he smiled and spoke to me, But still in silent ecstasy I gazed at him; I could not speak; I uttered one long piercing shriek. Alas! Alas! That cursed scream Aroused me from my heavenly dream; I looked around in wild despair, I called them, but they were not there; The father and the child are gone, And I must live and die alone.

From President Eisenhower's obsession with the threat of Communist rule and his impatient and aggressive drive to eliminate Fidel Castro to the unrealistic expectations of maintaining covert status all the way through the execution of Operation Zapata under the office of President Kennedy, the Bay of Pigs was littered with evidence contrary to its expected successful outcome Andrew The first signs of failure, though in and of itself would not be credible enough to abort the plans, were the repeated failures to poison Castro and the failure to enlist the Mafia as the CIA's assassin of Castro Andrew The next sure signs of impending failure were the evidence that the enlisted exiled Cuban force that was put in Cuba to establish an underground in Cuba for the overthrow of the Castro regime were ineffective and had been taken into custody in Cuba Andrew Upon recognizing this loss of asset, instead of reassessing the plan and it's true potential or lack thereofit was deemed that less dependence would be placed upon the intended guerrilla force and the main reliance would stand upon the landing force, even though the State Department warned that preparations for that landing were already well-known throughout Latin America, evidencing the already lack of covert potential Andrew The President still believed in the potential to remain covert, at the very least, to keep the US government's hand out of the equation, though this was highly unrealistic and would prove even more so after an arrogant judgment in the President's choice of words in his final State of the Union speech in which he indirectly foreshadowed an American attack against the Communist The bay of pigs essay in Cuba to dispose of Cuba's 1 Trista Lynn Carr INTL Research Methods 16 SEPT Write a Short Essay communist rule in the same manner as Mossadeq and Arbenz after the CIA's involvement in Arbenz was openly known.
President Kennedy's own fascination with guerrilla warfare and paramilitary operations led to his intrigue in continuing on with Former President Eisenhower's fiasco, that in conjunction with President Kennedy's own lack of intelligence knowledge and his blind faith in the judgments and recommendations of those charged with planning the Bay of Pigs Bissell and Lundahl, and later Dulles Andrew In addition to Kennedy's naivety of intelligence and expectation that those in charge of Bay of Pigs knew better than anyone the potential and capability of the plan, was Kennedy's lack of time to truly review the plan and digest the information provided to him.
Upon his inauguration, his primary focus was on filling the twelve hundred jobs in his administration Andrew Upon execution of Operation Zapata, the "quiet" landing in the Bay of Pigs, which was President Kennedy's idea in lieu of the noisy and spectacular Trinidad plan, things immediately began to go wrong and cause problems for the US, leading to exposure of the United States' involvement with this operation as it was with Arbenz.
The first major problem was when the air support struck out, flown by exiled Cubans, supposedly defectors from Cuba's Air Force with no ties to the US, and one of the Bs had to make an emergency landing in Key West Andrew After the air raid was conducted and then stopped due to the risk of exposure of the US's involvement after the emergency landingthe night landing of the amphibious assault was launched and once again, immediately struck failure.
Even after all this, the President and Bissell were unable to accept defeat and made one last drastic attempt at victory through the deployment of a jet from the Essex.
The jet effort was in vain and played no part in any outcome of the Bay of Pigs and Operation Zapata Andrew There are a few repetitive factors that were consistently overlooked, or just flat-out ignored, that could have prevented this fiasco for the United States and both Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy, not through a victory, but through the abortion of the plan and either the implementation of an entirely different plan, or the abortion of the idea altogether.
One such factor that played a key role in this failure was the dogmatic view that this operation could continue to remain covert, even after the warnings and the emergency landing of one of the "defectors" in Key West.
Another factor that played a great role in the failure of the Bay of Pigs was the inaccurate assumption that this exiled invasion force was realistically strong enough to overthrow the Castro regime in spite of Castro's popularity and military forces.
Another significant, albeit behind-the-scenes, factor in the doomed failure of the Bay of Pigs was the DCI's and Plans Directorate's intentionally keeping the Intelligence Directorate in the dark about the operation Andrew In an effort to prevent a repeat operation such as the fiasco at the Bay of Pigs, President Kennedy enlisted some changes to ensure cohesion between branches and organizations and to allow for a checks and balances type of system for major operations.

5 Important Reasons You Should Never Stop Writing
If only there's a law that imprisons writers who discontinued writing for a very long time, I would surrender myself to the authorities immediately.
If only there’s a law that imprisons writers who discontinued writing for a very long time, I would surrender myself to the authorities immediately. No buts, not ifs, no questions asked.
Yes, I’ve been on another online detox this holiday break. I promised myself that I would never touch my Facebook and LinkedIn account this holiday break to make sure that I could start fresh. For once, I wanted to focus my time and attention to my work and my family. I never posted anything on my Facebook and LinkedIn account because I wanted everything to be special. Although the detox was great (and boy, that really did helped me a lot,) I regretted one thing. I never actually wrote anything during this detox session.
To be honest, my write ups were now rarer than Bigfoot (so I did kinda exaggerate it a bit much.) And sad to say, I did lose some followers with this dormant stage. So if you’re still here and you were notified that I wrote something, let me give you a big warm virtual hug.
I do regret not letting my fingers bend and dance with my keyboard. I do regret not letting my mind exercise by thinking of weird yet informative things that I know could make everyone smile and feel entertained. Now, I do just hope that I it’s not too late for me to recover from this dormant stage of writing.
So if you are a writer like me who stopped writing for a certain amount of time, please do us a favor and start off again with me!
Why? Well, it’s because of these reasons:
- You are someone’s idol, hope, and inspiration – I read tons of messages thanking me because I inspired them to write their own thoughts on a medium like this. Yes, I was technically their “reason” to write. Unfortunately, their inspiration expired for a bit. I wonder if they’re still writing even if I was away.
- You works could be a part of their daily routine – Again, your daily posting could be a part of their morning coffee, or night routine. Can you imagine yourself if your family members suddenly stopped greeting you the moment you wake up? Now that’s something, right?
- No matter how bad you write, there will always be someone who loves your work – I do admit that I’m not really that great when it comes to grammar. But what makes me itch for posting daily write ups is that there are people (such as my good friend Paul Drury) who recognize my efforts in providing interesting POVs on a medium full of overused contents and topics.
- Writing helps you loosen up – Stressed? Fed up with that guy who stole your spot in your favorite coffee shop? Irritated because your neighbors were noisy? Trust me when I say this, but the best way to vent out is by writing. TIP: Do you really want to release that stress? Write a rant about everything and just post it online.
- It is because no matter what happens in life, writing is simply one of the best ways to express yourself – And I believe that nobody could deny that fact. Just let your fingertips do the work and let your heart and mind help you out in creating your very own masterpiece.
Readers (and writers alike,) please let this be a wake-up call for you. Continue writing. Continue inspiring. Continue being who you are by writing!

And it would insure the instrument would sell quickly when the new one is complete.

Eugene Community Mourns Loss Of Historic Ballpark
Crews are still mopping up embers at Eugene's Civic Stadium where the historic grandstands burned down Monday.
The Eugene Police arson team will investigate the fire. Chief Pete Kerns says it's unknown whether the blaze was intentional. Witnesses report 3 or 4 young people were seen at the stadium before the fire. Kerns says he's hoping for the public's help.
Kerns: "Typically in cases like this that have so much community interest we learn who the people were that were seen leaving a scene like this so we don't want anyone to be afraid to come to the police."
Community groups recently purchased the Civic Stadium property to restore the grandstands and create a youth sports venue. Derek Johnson with Eugene Civic Alliance says this is a huge loss but they're still going to create something here.
Johnson: "If we could make a nod to that grandstand when we rebuild this thing that would make us all feel better. It would make the whole community feel better."
Johnson says the Alliance had insured the structure for 3 million dollars. The wooden grandstands were built in 1938 during the great depression. The stadium had been shuttered since 2009 after the Eugene Emeralds left.

The best autumnal walks in Berkshire
There’s no doubt that Berkshire is a walker’s paradise. With sprawling woodland, historic landmarks and breathtaking hilltop views, exploring on foot is one of the best ways to discover all that Berkshire has to offer.
When autumn rolls around, that best gets even better. With the crisp air on your cheeks and rich red and gold leaves as far as the eye can see, an autumnal walk in Berkshire is nothing short of magical. And the best bit? Wherever you want to explore, Berkshire means you’re spoiled for choice.
Dinton Pastures Country Park
There aren’t many autumnal walks in Berkshire that offer more than Dinton Pastures Country Park. In fact, it’s almost cheating to mention it – with 350 acres of woodland and meadow, two rivers, seven lakes and numerous trails to follow, the park could fill a list all by itself.
One of the park’s lakes is a nature reserve, and Dinton Pastures is home to wildlife ranging from deer and peregrine falcons to rabbits, bats and red foxes. There are three public bird hides throughout the park – one of which is wheelchair accessible – for anyone wanting to spot the more than 130 species of birds who call the park home.
Located between Wokingham and Reading, Dinton Pastures has easy access with six pay and display car parks. There are also several cafes dotted throughout the park, from quick coffee and snacks to lakeside lunches.
Donnington Castle and Snelsmore Common Circular
This 3.6 mile walk is right on Donnington Grove’s doorstep, with a free car park at Snelsmore Common. It takes roughly an hour and a half to complete with a few steep inclines along the way, but the challenge is worth it for one of the best autumnal walks in Berkshire.
As you can tell by the name, the main attraction of this route is the medieval ruins of Donnington Castle. Built in 1386, the castle overlooked Donnington and Newbury for almost 300 years and is said to have hosted the Tudor monarchs Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. It was largely demolished after the Civil War, although its original 14th century gatehouse remains standing.
Down in the Snelsmore Common section of the walk you can crunch your way through autumnal woodland and fill up your camera roll with the wild heather as your backdrop. If you need to recharge after – or want something to walk off – there are plenty of pubs and restaurants bordering the common and in nearby Bagnor.
Reading Circular River Walk
You might think all the best autumnal walks in Berkshire mean striking out for the countryside or quaint villages, but even Berkshire’s biggest town has some hidden gems to find.
If you’re looking for a gentle stroll that mixes autumn beauty with seeing the sights, the Reading Circular River Walk is for you. This 3 mile route takes about an hour to explore the Thames and Kennet riversides as well as King’s Meadow beneath lines of autumn trees. The walk is almost entirely flat, with the only elevation being the steps that lead down to and up from the riverside sections.
Being in the town, there are plenty of places along the way to grab a spiced warm drink of your choice or take a comfort break if you need one. For the history buffs, the walk also takes in the ruins of Reading’s 12th century abbey and passes Reading Museum.
Windsor Great Park
One of the county’s most iconic sights is of course Windsor Castle. And luckily for anyone planning a trip to see the royal residence, the nearby Windsor Great Park offers some of the best autumnal walks in Berkshire.
With nearly 5,000 acres of woodland, parkland and gardens, there are actually several ways to explore Windsor Great Park. It’s possible to cover them all in one day if you start early enough, but it’s best to pick one or two walks to avoid rushing around.
The most famous is arguably the Long Walk, which leads from Windsor Castle’s gates to the Copper Horse statue of George III. It’s a fairly straightforward walk from Point A to Point B, but as it runs through the historic Deer Park there are plenty of opportunities to leave the paved path behind for the ancient oak woodland.
For a scenic route with more to discover along the way, check out Virginia Water Lake at the southern end of the park. As well as taking in the tranquil serpentine lake, the route also passes by the Cascade waterfall, stones from Roman temple ruins in Libya, and a Kwakiutl totem pole gifted to Queen Elizabeth in 1958. You can start the 4.5 mile route from the Virginia Water Pavilion, where you’ll find parking and toilets, or round it up to 5 miles by starting from Savill Gardens.
Whether you’re looking for country parks, woodland or tree-lined riversides, an autumnal walk in Berkshire never disappoints. And at Donnington Grove, we’re lucky enough to have a slice of that in our own backyard.
With 500 acres of gorgeous countryside laid out before you, it’s easy to spend the whole day exploring without ever leaving the estate. Enjoy a stroll along the River Lambourn as it passes through the grounds, relax in the walled garden, and watch for the deer, kites and other wildlife who share the estate with us.
If your walk leaves you wanting to experience the estate a different way, Donnington Grove also offers clay pigeon shooting as well as an 18-hole championship golf course and driving range. With the magnificent autumnal countryside as your backdrop, it’s a unique autumnal experience just waiting to be had.
