Now we get Jones vs. Vitor Belfort. Really? Are they serious? That's not even a close bout IMO. UFC 152 is on September 22, it's supposed to be anyway.

Fall has arrived on the buffet behind my sofa.
All of my little pumpkin paintings were created by Karen Harvey Cox at A Scrapbook of Inspiration.
Since this is visible from both sides, it's nice to be able to put a second picture on the other side of the hinged yard stick.
My lonely velvet pumpkin was made by my friend, Susie. She has told me that I will get another one this year. Maybe if I print her promise on my blog, she'll have to give me another one. (Are you reading this, Susie?)
I know I already showed you my hutch, decorated for Fall. I'm old, but I'm not so old that I don't remember I showed it on my last post, but I got carried away, and now it's exploding with Fall and Halloween, so I'm sharing it again.
Thank you for stopping by. I am linking to Table Top Tuesday at A Stroll thru Life. laurie

SEMA wasn't the only crazy car event going on in Vegas the first week of November. Round 9 of the Global Rallycross took place at the South end of the Vegas strip and MIQ couldn't miss the action. Though Toomas Heikkinen had clinched the championship in Charlotte, there was a battle going on for the other podium spots. Check out the action!
SEMA 2013 rode into the Las Vegas Convention Center last week bringing us the hottest trends, products, and vehicles to drooling gearheads. To put it mildly, SEMA is insanity. 4 short days and 4 long nights leave show goers exhausted (bad pun?) but there's no better car wet dream on the planet!

SLU OB/Gyn Chair Plans Scientific Meeting for 5,000
Dr. Raul Artal Set Agenda for Women's Health Doctors
What do 5,000 obstetricians, gynecologists and women's health researchers talk about when they get together for their annual meeting?
|Raul Artal, M.D.
Ask Raul Artal, M.D., chair of SLU's department of obstetrics and gynecology. As chair of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Scientific Program Committee, he's responsible for planning the group's annual educational conference.
The event, which features 350 talks and presentations, will be held April 30-May 4 in Washington, D.C.
"It's a big undertaking to organize an annual meeting for such a large group," Artal said.
"At the same time, it is incredibly rewarding to be able to focus attention on the latest clinical practices and scientific and technological developments that are critical to women's health. We are so fortunate that the presenters are among the most prominent scientists and clinicians in our field."
Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, will deliver the lead lecture, which pinpoints exceptional opportunities in biomedical research. As a sequel, Dr. Roberto Romero, chief of the prenatal research branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (a branch of the NIH), will discuss cutting edge developments in predicting and preventing preterm births and neonatal complications.
A distinguished panel of speakers will share their insights on preventing and lowering maternal mortality around the world. Physicians also will debate the role of traditional gynecology surgery in an era of minimally invasive surgery.
The physicians also will hear a presentation on the role of women's primary health care providers in eradicating misogyny, which Artal characterizes as a "major public health issue."
Faculty from SLU's department of obstetrics and gynecology will present as well. For instance, four gynecologists will demonstrate various gynecological procedures to the physicians gathered in the nation's capital remotely from Midtown St. Louis, using the facilities of SLU's Center for Anatomical Science and Education.
The conference caps off many months of intensive planning, Artal said, and a very busy year.
Immediately before the ACOG scientific meeting, Artal will preside over the meeting of another group, the Council of University Chairs of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The meeting is Artal's last as president of the organization that includes 125 chairs of obstetrics and gynecology from U.S. and Canadian universities.

Here is a bit of a diversion from cast iron, although there are ways to do this with cast iron. I ended up somehow with a mini mountain of Anaheim peppers.

I researched this and I am pretty sure that these are the peppers in the grocery store variety said chilies. If I am wrong,

This is a great collection of public domain texts related to ethics. While someone via searching could find the full text versions of many of the readings used on this site what makes this collection special is that the texts are organized into categories and that the page for each indivual reading contains key paragraphs from the text, reading questions and information about the author of the text. It's a nice colelction of readings that feature key points and theories from the history of ethics.Technical Remarks:The site design is simple but it's very easy to navigate back and forth through the site and there is a very helpful table of contents much as you would find in a tradational textbook.

How Much Will Money Matter?
So far this week, the big presidential campaign news is Mitt Romney's massive fundraising haul for the month of June. The Romney team raised $106 million last month, out-raising President Obama by $35 million and besting Democrats for the second month in a row. There are important asterisks to the GOP gains—in particular, a large portion of this money has been raised for the technically ongoing primary, and can't be spent until after the convention—but it's still impressive. If the Romney team can sustain this pace—it's possible they're collecting low-hanging fruit, and the numbers will drop off later—then it will have a large financial advantage in the fall. But how much does that actually matter?
The Obama team wants you to believe that fundraising could be the deciding factor in the election. In an email to supporters, campaign manager Jim Messina warned, "The gap is getting wider, and if it continues at this pace, it could cost us the election." In the same email, Obama adds that "We can win a race in which the other side spends more than we do, but not this much more."
The problem with this picture is that the jury is out on the question of money's effect on a presidential election. Obviously, if you don't have the funds to air advertising or run a get-out-the-vote operation, you're in trouble. But at a certain point—particularly in presidential elections—it's not clear whether an advantage or disadvantage means anything for the final outcome.
I emailed political scientist Brendan Nyhan, an assistant professor of government at Dartmouth College, for this thoughts, and he offered a little skepticism. "I tend to think the effects of money in politics are overstated," he wrote. "The reason is that campaign donors are strategic—candidates who are likely to win are more likely to attract funds, which means that the apparent correlation between funding advantages and winning can't be interpreted as causal.
"Also," he added, "much of the money that is raised goes to TV ads that have short-lived effects and tend to cancel each other out in competitive races." In a recent post, the Monkey Cage's John Sides made a similar assessment: "The effect of ads seems to dissipate quickly, even within a week. So you may not need to think about the effects of ads for another 3+ months." Put another way, we essentially have to wait until just before the election to start thinking about the effectiveness of ads on voting, because those effects are so fleeting.
There's also what Nyhan calls the "marginal benefit of campaign funds"—the more money you spend in an election, the lower the benefit of each additional dollar. With the large amounts that will be spent in this campaign, an extra hundred million dollars on either side won't make a significant difference.
With all of that said, Nyhan offered a few important caveats. First, anything can matter in a close election. It's unlikely, but still conceivable, that a few extra television ads in a few more states could mean the difference between victory and defeat for Obama. Moreover, we've never seen a situation where the incumbent president is outspent by his opponent. This is unexplored territory, and the possible effects of that difference are unknown. By virtue of being the incumbent, Obama is already well-defined in the eyes of the public. If this were an open election, spending money to "define" him would make sense. As it stands, it might be something of a waste (though not, of course, for Romney's campaign consultants).
When it comes to messaging, Obama doesn't actually need a fundraising advantage. By virtue of being the president, he has the ability to shape the national conversation—something he's recently used to great effect. The fact that he can shift the agenda to same-sex marriage, immigration, or health care means far more than Romney's money advantage; regardless of how much he raises, Romney will inevitably fight some of the election on the president's turf.
For Romney, there is one clear benefit to a money advantage: He could invest more resources into his ground game. The ability to mobilize and turn out your voters can mean the margin between victory and defeat, or the difference between a narrow win and an impressive landslide (see the 2010 midterm elections). But again, a campaign will eventually run into diminishing returns. Even with a billion dollars in the bank, there are only so many volunteers you can train, so many neighborhoods to canvas, and so many places where you can find and persuade new voters.
Given the huge amounts that will be raised on both sides, odds are good that money will have a marginal effect on the outcome of this election. The presidency will largely be determined by the fundamentals: unemployment, economic growth, the incumbent's approval rating. At this point, as I argued yesterday, the fundamentals still favor Obama. Mitt Romney, Karl Rove, and the Republican Party can spend billions; it won't change the fact that it's simply unusual for an incumbent president to lose reelection when there's positive economic growth (even if it isn't enough to bring the economy to where it needs to be).
If you want to know where money will have its greatest effect, look to congressional elections. A few million dollars in a few states can—and likely will—mean the difference between the status quo, or an ability to direct the nation's agenda.

Jamelle: Barack Obama's 2008 campaign set the standard for fundraising. Obama is the Tiger Woods of politics. Woods did things no other golfer ever had done, even Jack Nicklaus was amazed. Barack Obama made political people realize that $1 Billion for an election campaign was achievable and would not necessarily be perceived as buying an election. If Romney & SuperPACs do outraise and outspend Obama he has no one but himself to blame. He was the first Presidential candidate to refuse public funding and the spending limits that go with that. "Hoist by his own petard", Will Shakespeare. Serves him right.

Obama won't be outspent in the handful of states where it matters. And he's had staff on the ground in all those states months ago.
Plus, it seems the GOP strategy is throw all sorts of messages against the wall an see what sticks, while Obama has fond a message that does work and is repeating it over and over in the swing states.
And one more thing... the Electoral College is still very much in Obama's favor.
Thu, 2012-07-12 22:57
But, but, but, no... This can't be right. Hasn't it been an article of faith among liberals for the last 40 years that money in politics is corrupting? Wasn't that the reason for imperative of public funding of campaigns? Isn't that the reason that the Citizens United decision was a sign of the apocalypse?
If money isn't that important, doesn't that undercut one of the most important things that all liberals have known forever?
Please, say this was just a joke!

E-Verify 'The Legal Workforce Act' (H.R. 2885) although just voluntary at this time, is an electronic program operated by the Social Security Administration and Customs and Immigration Enforcement. —The last entity I would listen too is the Liberal Press, who have transferred their loyalty to hard core radical people like socialist George Soros? The mainstream media Editorial reeks of deceit and rhetoric, when it comes to illegal immigration. The progressives in the news media are especially dangerous. The liberals will lie and cheat, no matter the consequences to America. So it is with E-Verify, which they have demonized because, it actually flags illegal immigrants in the workplace and opens up jobs for U.S. citizens and residents. The liberals have been very predominant in using the influence of the press, to erect a barrier against Mandatory E-Verify, except they didn't reckon on the growing masses of the TEA PARTY. Unlike the two main political parties the TEA PARTY will enforce all laws and statutes pertaining to illegal immigration, whereas the Dem's and GOP tend to intentionally overlook such state ordinances as Sanctuary Cities and states like California?
Even the House Speaker John Boehner has refused to bring up compulsory E-Verify for a House vote. Obviously he and his entrenched colleagues will not allow it anywhere near the Congress, as he and his fellow conspirators are subject to the corporate donations, to keep the old school corrupting our system of government. E-Verify is just one bill that must be passed to save the jobs of millions of low income Americans mainly.
The Independents, and uncountable numbers of delusional Democrats, Republicans are recognizing that the Lib-Democrats are out to win the grand price in November, but now millions of TEA PARTY people will not fall into their political trap. This is the same with photo ID to vote, who have ruthless personages as U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and the Kings court caterwauling 'voter Suppression', when all the TEA PARTY requests is a fair and equitable election. Surf the internet under 'Voter Fraud' and you will discover the hundreds of cases of this diabolical use of our most trusted right of American citizens, being compromised by NON CITIZENS, felons and illegal aliens. This began with inception of canvassing provided by ACORN organization, which signed up just about anybody and were eventually caught and 11 states are resolving this criminal issue.
Another law that remains quietly concealed from the public is the Rep. Steve Kings THE BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ACT (H.R.140). An astronomical amount of money is being extracted from every taxpaying American that supports the annual arrival of an estimated 400.000 smuggled babies into the United States. They are concealed in their Mother's womb and once here becomes the taxpayers charge. These females although illegal that once they set foot on American soil, their offspring receive a free delivery, free heath care and a free education, thanks to unfunded mandates handed down by the courts. The only salvation from this misjudged law is to amend the 14th amendment, which an only child with one citizen parent qualifies for instant citizenship. Illegal alien parents are well aware that if they smuggle the unborn child through an international airport terminal or past the U.S. Border Patrol, they are free and clear as the misguided law stands today.
With only four months to go before D-Day us the voter only has that one slender chance of changing the direction of our country. With the democrats cocooned with the Liberals, the only promise is uncontrolled 'Tax and Spend' so elevating the 16 Trillion dollar deficit we owe the rest of the worlds investors. Then under the Republicans, a lesser of the evils, but even so they must be controlled by the TEA PARTY LEADERSHIP.
Anybody who contradicts the writings in the U.S. Constitution, who is adverse to a real border fence, who is unconcerned about the 20 million plus illegal aliens already here or the harbinger of a further invasion from Central and South America needs to be relieved of their seats in Washington, not excluding the majority of legislators in Congress, state governors as Deval Patrick of Massachusetts, Jerry Brown of California, and Mayors as Rahm Emanuel of Chicago, Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles—all must be replaced by TEA PARTY MEMBERS. All the pro-illegal immigrant law makers are destroying this sovereign country, as they are well aware that illegal aliens vote. That is why Americans, Hispanic, Latin, Black, White Asian and others should join one of the thousands of local chapters of the TEA PARTY. They should be ready to oversee the elections, including the rampant fraud in the absentee ballot. Around the country the election rolls are crowded with the names of the deceased, others who have moved to a different state. There are many ways our most sacred of rights have been compromised and only the citizen voter can change it.
Remember under Obama Imperial court we will be paying not only for any person who illegally ventures here, but for millions of Americans who have found it easy, to just live of the taxpayer. Beneath our feet is abundance of wealth in oil, natural gas and coal for energy that President Obama denies us. Those trillions of dollars in excess gallons of crude oil could clearly go to replenish state treasuries and the remainder could be sold to our friends in other countries. Under Obama and decades of environmental zealots, we have not been cut off from our own resources, relying on governments abroad that hate us. Even the abundance of oil from Canada is better than dealing with foreign potentates.

One word to think about: DVR. This year a lot more people have them than did in 2008. My 70-something parents rarely watch shows in real time, they'll wait at least 20 minutes so they can skip over the commercials as we all do. Since TV advertising is one of the biggest things on which politicians can spend all their campaign funds, DVRs could lower the point of diminishing returns.

Dr. Sheldon Cooper the pedantic theoretical physicist character from the TV show is famous for his unique take on humour, usually following his jokes with a gleeful cry of 'Bazinga!' and it's this phrase that has now been immortalised. A team of Brazilian biologists discovered the orchid-bee and named it Euglossa bazinga. According to Dr. André Nemésio, a biology professor at the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia in Brazil, this was intended to 'honour actor Jim Parsons and his brilliant interpretation of Sheldon Cooper'.
Steve Molaro, the executive producer of the Big Bang Theory, was incredibly flattered and was sure Dr. Cooper would be too as 'after 'Mothra' and griffins, bees are his third-favorite flying creatures'.

I personally had a very traditional thanksgiving with a little smallpox on the side. ;)
Take me to the window and understand
I got a rocking chair in my skin.
And every time the wind blows
It brings me down to meet the mood I'm in.

Grown men who are hiding behind screen names to badger others on their conduct in life. Well excuse me mother @#$%&, its a game where grown men @#$%& throw frisbees around a big open field, if you've nothing better to do than play golf and rape each other with words then your a sorry son of a @#$%&.

Please do not from this day forward hide behind not so clever screen names so you wont get your ass kicked. Where i come from you were a man and said @#$%& to peoples faces with dignity, now we have a bunch of computer literate @#$%& girls with dicks gossiping about who popped wheelies in parking lots, and who hit 12 aces in a day and lied about it. I'll tell you this much i play golf on tuesdays so if anybody has something bad to say just come and talk to me, i may like or not, and if not you may get a few choice words from me that you wont enjoy. Hear me loud and clear ladies, its about time you all grow up and use this for what it was supposed to be, a sport to have fun, no politics, no nothin. Just a couple of hours to hang out with friends and throw a bunch of discs.

If the LS1/LS2/LS6 engine family has a shortcoming, it has to be the rocker arm mounting, which doesn't allow for adjustment. Non-adjustable rockers have become standard in virtually all late-model pushrod engines, largely because they reduce the amount of labor, skilled or otherwise, required to assemble engines. But what is an advantage for an engine manufacturer is usually a decided disadvantage for vehicle owners and performance specialists when they modify an engine for increased power output.
Various types of adjustable rocker arms have been developed for LSx engines, but the most unique is the patented shaft rocker assembly designed by Bill Curtis of Curtisbilt Corporation. The Curtisbilt rockers are as easy to install and adjust as a typical stud-mounted rocker arm, but they offer the stability of shaft mounting. Curtisbilt actually uses Comp Cams Pro-Magnum rocker arm bodies, (both 1.75:1 and 1.85:1 ratios are available), which are machined to fit on individual pedestal-mounted shafts. A tongue on the end of one shaft allows it to interlock with a groove machined into the shaft of the mating rocker for each cylinder. When a pair of adjacent rockers are adjusted and locked, the assembly becomes a single-shaft assembly for each cylinder. With the tongue-and-groove interlock positioned inline with rocker motion, the pedestal beneath each shaft can be rotated to adjust lifter preload or lash (if mechanical lifters are installed).
Although the actual adjustment procedure is fairly simple, it takes a bit of "playing" to become proficient. This is largely because of the precise machining of the tongue and groove on the shaft ends. Each tongue fits in its mating groove with virtually no clearance. This extremely precise fit completely eliminates play between mating shafts, which consequently have the same rigidity as a single shaft with two rockers mounted on it. But when adjusting the rockers, it's easy to miss the fact that proper preload can seemingly be established without the pedestal firmly positioned against the cylinder head (because the tongue-and-groove fit is so precise, lifter preload can be established even if the rocker pedestal isn't fully seated).
After a bit of experimentation, we found the best way to adjust the Curtisbilt rockers is to rotate the adjuster and chase it with the lock bolt. Once you get the feel of the procedure, it's a simple matter to adjust all 16 rockers. In fact, the most challenging part of LSx rocker adjustment may be developing a means of determining when the lifter corresponding to each rocker is on the cam's base circle since there is no pointer or markings on the vibration damper to indicate top dead center or any other crankshaft position.
The easiest way to do this is to follow the practice used by some race-engine builders. Not usually ones to take the obvious at face value, many racers don't subscribe to the belief that both valves must be closed when a piston is at top dead center. Their method of adjusting lifter preload or valve lash is to rotate the crankshaft until an exhaust valve just begins to open, then adjust the intake rocker for that cylinder. Then they rotate the crankshaft again until the intake valve opens and starts to close. Just before the intake valve is fully closed, they adjust the exhaust rocker. This method ensures that each lifter is on the cam's base circle when the rocker is adjusted. It also makes it relatively easy (although somewhat tedious) to adjust all rockers because you don't have to be concerned with following a particular cylinder-by-cylinder sequence-just rotate the crankshaft until a particular exhaust valve begins to open and adjust the mating intake rocker. Then rotate the crank as required and move on to adjusting another rocker.

Public consultation on information provided to consumers about characteristics of furniture products Közzététel időpontja:: 11/12/2013
- Határidő:
- 04/03/2014.
Objective of the consultation
Information about specific furniture product characteristics, provided to consumers at the time of purchase, may be insufficient for them to compare between different furniture products sold on the EU market as a basis for informed choices. For example, such information may relate to furniture product weight, dimensions, origin, materials and substances used, quality processes applied, product durability, instructions and precautions on use, cleaning and disposal, etc.
In this context, some EU countries have introduced or been considering developing information schemes specific to furniture products, which complement information required under the EU product safety legislation. These national schemes may well facilitate consumers' purchasing decisions, however, their divergent information content can possibly impact the companies trading furniture across the EU.
The objective of this public consultation is therefore to gather stakeholders' views on the possible needs for and impacts of enhanced information accompanying furniture products sold in the EU.
Target group(s)
Citizens and consumer organisations, market surveillance bodies, other government institutions, standardisation organisations, test laboratories, intergovernmental organisations, interest groups (manufacturers, importers and exporters, retailers, consumers, environmentalists), trade unions, individual manufacturers, individual importer and exporters, individual retailers, research institutes and consultancies.

Anesthesia, or anaesthesia (see spelling differences; from Greek αν-, an-, "without"; and αἲσθησις, aisthēsis, "sensation"), has traditionally meant the condition of having sensation (including the feeling of pain) blocked. This allows patients to undergo surgery and other procedures without the distress and pain they would otherwise experience. The word was coined by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. in 1846. Another definition is a "reversible lack of awareness", whether this is a total lack of awareness (e.g. a general anaesthestic) or a lack of awareness of a part of a the body such as a spinal anaesthetic or another nerve block would cause. Anesthesia differs from analgesia in blocking all sensation, not only pain.
Today, the term general anesthesia in its most general form can include:
Patients undergoing surgery usually undergo preoperative evaluation. It includes gathering history of previous anesthetics, and any other medical problems, physical examination, ordering required blood work and consultations prior to surgery.
There are several forms of anesthesia. The following forms refer to states achieved by anesthetics working on the brain:
The level of anesthesia achieved ranges on a continuum of depth of consciousness from minimal sedation to general anesthesia. The depth of consciousness of a patient may change from one minute to the next.
The following refer to the states achieved by anesthetics working outside of the brain:
In Central Asia, in the 10th century work of Shahnameh, the author, Ferdowsi, describes a caesarean section performed on Rudaba when giving birth, in which a special wine agent was prepared as an anesthetic by a Zoroastrian priest, and used to produce unconsciousness for the operation. Although largely mythical in content, the passage does at least illustrate knowledge of anesthesia in ancient Persia.
The use of herbal anaesthesia had a crucial drawback compared to modern practice — as lamented by Fallopus, "When soporifics are weak they are useless, and when strong, they kill." To overcome this, production was typically standardized as much as feasible, with production occurring from specific famous locations (such as opium from the fields of Thebes in ancient Egypt). Anaesthetics were sometimes administered in the spongia somnifera, a sponge into which a large quantity of drug was allowed to dry, from which a saturated solution could be trickled into the nose of the patient. At least in more recent centuries, trade was often highly standardized, with the drying and packing of opium in standard chests, for example. In the 19th century, varying aconitum alkaloids from a variety of species were standardized by testing with guinea pigs. Despite these refinements, the discovery of morphine, a purified alkaloid that soon afterward could be injected by hypodermic for a consistent dosage, was enthusiastically received and led to the foundation of the modern pharmaceutical industry.
Another factor affecting ancient anaesthesia is that drugs used systemically in modern times were often administered locally, reducing the risk to the patient. Opium used directly in a wound acts on peripheral opioid receptors to serve as an analgesic, and a medicine containing willow leaves (salicylate, the predecessor of aspirin) would then be applied directly to the source of inflammation.
In 1804, the Japanese surgeon Seishū Hanaoka performed general anaesthesia for the operation of a breast cancer (mastectomy), by combining Chinese herbal medicine know-how and Western surgery techniques learned through "Rangaku", or "Dutch studies". His patient was a 60-year-old woman named Kan Aiya. He used a compound he called Tsusensan, based on the plants Datura metel, Aconitum and others.
In modern anesthetic practice, these techniques are seldom employed.
In the West, the development of effective anesthetics in the 19th century was, with Listerian techniques, one of the keys to successful surgery. Henry Hill Hickman experimented with carbon dioxide in the 1820s. The anesthetic qualities of nitrous oxide (isolated in 1773 by Joseph Priestley) were discovered by the British chemist Humphry Davy about 1799 when he was an assistant to Thomas Beddoes, and reported in a paper in 1800. But initially the medical uses of this so-called "laughing gas" were limited — its main role was in entertainment. It was used on 30 September 1846 for painless tooth extraction upon patient Eben Frost by American dentist William Thomas Green Morton. Horace Wells of Connecticut, a traveling dentist, had demonstrated it the previous year 1845 at Massachusetts General Hospital. Wells made a mistake in choosing a particularly sturdy male volunteer, and the patient suffered considerable pain. This lost the colorful Wells any support. Later the patient told Wells he screamed in shock and not in pain. A subsequently drunk Wells died in jail, by cutting his femoral artery, after allegedly assaulting a prostitute with sulfuric acid.
Another dentist, William E. Clarke, performed an extraction in January 1842 using a different chemical, diethyl ether (discovered by Valerius Cordus in 1540). In March 1842 in Danielsville, Georgia, Dr. Crawford Long was the first to use anaesthesia during an operation, giving it to his friend, who was also a school teacher (James M. Venable) before excising a cyst from his neck. Long got the idea to do this from his observations at ether frolics. He noted that participants experienced bumps and bruises but afterward had no recall of what had happened. He did not publicize this information until 1849.
On October 16, 1846, dentist William Thomas Green Morton, invited to the Massachusetts General Hospital, performed the first public demonstration of diethyl ether (then called sulfuric ether) as an anesthetic agent, for a patient (Edward Gilbert Abbott) undergoing an excision of a vascular tumor from his neck. In a letter to Morton shortly thereafter, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. proposed naming the procedure anæsthesia.
Despite Morton's efforts to keep "his" compound a secret, which he named "Letheon" and for which he received a US patent, the news of the discovery and the nature of the compound spread very quickly to Europe in late 1846. Here, respected surgeons—including Liston, Dieffenbach, Pirogoff, and Syme—undertook numerous operations with ether. An American-born physician, Boott—who had traveled to London—encouraged a leading dentist, Mr James Robinson, to perform a dental procedure on a Miss Lonsdale. This was the first case of an operator-anesthetist. On the same day, 19 December 1846 in Dumfries Royal Infirmary, Scotland, a Dr. Scott used ether for a surgical procedure. The first use of anesthesia in the Southern Hemisphere took place in Launceston, Tasmania, that same year. Ether has a number of drawbacks, such as its tendency to induce vomiting and its flammability. In England it was quickly replaced with chloroform.
Discovered in 1831, the use of chloroform in anesthesia is usually linked to James Young Simpson, who, in a wide-ranging study of organic compounds, found chloroform's efficacy on 4 November 1847. Its use spread quickly and gained royal approval in 1853 when John Snow gave it to Queen Victoria during the birth of Prince Leopold. Unfortunately, chloroform is not as safe an agent as ether, especially when administered by an untrained practitioner (medical students, nurses, and occasionally members of the public were often pressed into giving anesthetics at this time). This led to many deaths from the use of chloroform that (with hindsight) might have been preventable. The first fatality directly attributed to chloroform anesthesia (Hannah Greener) was recorded on 28 January 1848.
John Snow of London published articles from May 1848 onwards 'On Narcotism by the Inhalation of Vapours' in the London Medical Gazette. Snow also involved himself in the production of equipment needed for inhalational anesthesia.
The surgical amphitheatre at Massachusetts General Hospital, or "ether dome" still exists today, although it is used for lectures and not surgery. The public can visit the amphitheater on weekdays when it is not in use.
Opioids were first used by Racoviceanu-Piteşti, who reported his work in 1901.
Physicians specialising in peri-operative care, development of an anesthetic plan, and the administration of anesthetics are known in the United States as anesthesiologists and in the UK and Canada as anaesthetists or anaesthesiologists. All anaesthetics in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Japan are administered by physicians. Nurse anesthetists also administer anesthesia in 109 nations. In the US, 35% of anesthetics are provided by physicians in solo practice, about 55% are provided by ACTs with anesthesiologists medically directing Anesthesiologist Assistants or CRNAs, and about 10% are provided by CRNAs in solo practice. - -
In the US, medical doctors who specialize in anesthesiology are called anesthesiologists, and dentists who specialize in anesthesiology are called dental anesthesiologists. Such physicians in the UK, Canada and Australia are called anaesthetists or anaesthesiologists.
In the US, a physician specializing in anesthesiology completes 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, 1 year of internship, and 3 years of residency. According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists, anesthesiologists provide or participate in more than 90 percent of the 40 million anesthetics delivered annually.
In the UK, this training lasts a minimum of seven years after the awarding of a medical degree and two years of basic residency, and takes place under the supervision of the Royal College of Anaesthetists. In Australia and New Zealand, it lasts five years after the awarding of a medical degree and two years of basic residency, under the supervision of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists. Other countries have similar systems, including Ireland (the Faculty of Anaesthetists of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland), Canada and South Africa (the College of Anaesthetists of South Africa).
In the UK, Fellowship of the Royal College of Anaesthetists (FRCA), is conferred upon medical doctors following completion of the written and oral parts of the Royal College's examination. In the US, completion of the written and oral Board examinations by a physician anesthesiologist allows one to be called "Board Certified" or a "Diplomate" of the American Board of Anesthesiology (or of the American Osteopathic Board of Anesthesiology, for osteopathic physicians).
Other specialties within medicine are closely affiliated to anaesthetics. These include intensive care medicine and pain medicine. Specialists in these disciplines have usually done some training in anaesthetics. The role of the anaesthetist is changing. It is no longer limited to the operation itself. Many anaesthetists perform well as peri-operative physicians, and will involve themselves in optimizing the patient's health before surgery (colloquially called "work-up"), performing the anaesthetic,including specialized intraoperative monitoring (like transesophageal echocardiography), following up the patient in the post anesthesia care unit and post-operative wards, and ensuring optimal analgesia throughout.
It is important to note that the term anesthetist in the United States usually refers to registered nurses who have completed specialized education and training in nurse anesthesia to become certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs). As noted above, the term anaesthetist in the UK and Canada refers to medical doctors who specialize in anesthesiology.
CRNAs may work with podiatrists, dentists, anesthesiologists, surgeons, obstetricians and other professionals requiring their services. CRNAs administer anesthesia in all types of surgical cases, and are able to apply all the accepted anesthetic techniques -- general, regional, local, or sedation. CRNAs do not require Anesthesiologist supervision in any state and only require surgeon/dentist/podiatrists to sign the chart for medicare billing in all but 16 states.
In the US, anesthesiologist assistants (AAs) are graduate-level trained specialists who have undertaken specialized education and training to provide anesthesia care under the direction of an Anesthesiologist. AAs typically hold a masters degree and practice under Anesthesiologist supervision in 18 states through licensing, certification or physician delegation.
In the UK, a similar group of assistants are currently being evaluated. They are named Physician's Assistant (Anaesthesia). Their background can be nursing, operating department professional or another profession allied to medicine or a science graduate. Training is in the form of a post-graduate diploma and takes 27 months to complete. Once finished, a masters degree can be undertaken.
Anesthesiology assistants should be distinguished from anesthesia technicians.
In New Zealand, anaesthetic technicians complete a course of study recognized by the New Zealand Association of Anaesthetic Technicians and Nurses.
In the United Kingdom, personnel known as ODPs (operating department practitioners) or anaesthetic nurses provide support to the physician anaesthetist (anaesthesiologist).
Local anesthetics are agents which prevent transmission of nerve impulses without causing unconsciousness. They act by binding to fast sodium channels from within (in an open state). Local anesthetics can be either ester or amide based.
Ester local anesthetics (e.g., procaine, amethocaine, cocaine) are generally unstable in solution and fast-acting, and allergic reactions are common.
Amide local anesthetics (e.g., lidocaine, prilocaine, bupivicaine, levobupivacaine, ropivacaine and dibucaine) are generally heat-stable, with a long shelf life (around 2 years). They have a slower onset and longer half-life than ester anaesthetics, and are usually racemic mixtures, with the exception of levobupivacaine (which is S(-) -bupivacaine) and ropivacaine (S(-)-ropivacaine). These agents are generally used within regional and epidural or spinal techniques, due to their longer duration of action, which provides adequate analgesia for surgery, labor, and symptomatic relief.
Only preservative-free local anesthetic agents may be injected intrathecally.
Effects may be localized or systemic.
Examples of systemic effects of local anesthesia:
Local anesthetic drugs are toxic to the heart (where they cause arrhythmia) and brain (where they may cause unconsciousness and seizures). Arrhythmias may be resistant to defibrillation and other standard treatments, and may lead to loss of heart function and death.
The first evidence of local anesthetic toxicity involves the nervous system, including agitation, confusion, dizziness, blurred vision, tinnitus, a metallic taste in the mouth, and nausea that can quickly progress to seizures and cardiovascular collapse.
Toxicity can occur with any local anesthetic as an individual reaction by that patient. Possible toxicity can be tested with pre-operative procedures to avoid toxic reactions during surgery.
An example of localized effect of local anesthesia:
Direct infiltration of local anesthetic into skeletal muscle will cause temporary paralysis of the muscle.
Volatile agents are specially formulated organic liquids that evaporate readily into vapors, and are given by inhalation for induction and/or maintenance of general anesthesia. Nitrous oxide and xenon are gases at room temperature rather than liquids, so they are not considered volatile agents. The ideal anesthetic vapor or gas should be non-flammable, non-explosive, lipid-soluble, and should possess low blood gas solubility, have no end organ (heart, liver, kidney) toxicity or side-effects, should not be metabolized, and should be non-irritant when inhaled by patients.
No anesthetic agent currently in use meets all these requirements. The agents in widespread current use are isoflurane, desflurane, sevoflurane, and nitrous oxide. Nitrous oxide is a common adjuvant gas, making it one of the most long-lived drugs still in current use. Because of its low potency, it cannot produce anesthesia on its own but is frequently combined with other agents. Halothane, an agent introduced in the 1950s, has been almost completely replaced in modern anesthesia practice by newer agents because of its shortcomings. Partly because of its side effects, enflurane never gained widespread popularity.
In theory, any inhaled anesthetic agent can be used for induction of general anesthesia. However, most of the halogenated anesthetics are irritating to the airway, perhaps leading to coughing, laryngospasm and overall difficult inductions. For this reason, the most frequently used agent for inhalational induction is sevoflurane . All of the volatile agents can be used alone or in combination with other medications to maintain anesthesia (nitrous oxide is not potent enough to be used as a sole agent).
Volatile agents are frequently compared in terms of potency, which is inversely proportional to the minimum alveolar concentration. Potency is directly related to lipid solubility. This is known as the Meyer-Overton hypothesis. However, certain pharmacokinetic properties of volatile agents have become another point of comparison. Most important of those properties is known as the blood:gas partition coefficient. This concept refers to the relative solubility of a given agent in blood. Those agents with a lower blood solubility (i.e., a lower blood–gas partition coefficient; e.g., desflurane) give the anesthesia provider greater rapidity in titrating the depth of anesthesia, and permit a more rapid emergence from the anesthetic state upon discontinuing their administration. In fact, newer volatile agents (e.g., sevoflurane, desflurane) have been popular not due to their potency (minimum alveolar concentration), but due to their versatility for a faster emergence from anesthesia, thanks to their lower blood–gas partition coefficient.
The two barbiturates mentioned above, thiopental and methohexital, are ultra-short-acting, and are used to induce and maintain anesthesia. However, though they produce unconsciousness, they provide no analgesia (pain relief) and must be used with other agents. Benzodiazepines can be used for sedation before or after surgery and can be used to induce and maintain general anesthesia. When benzodiazepines are used to induce general anesthesia, midazolam is preferred. Benzodiazepines are also used for sedation during procedures that do not require general anesthesia. Like barbiturates, benzodiazepines have no pain-relieving properties. Propofol is one of the most commonly used intravenous drugs employed to induce and maintain general anesthesia. It can also be used for sedation during procedures or in the ICU. Like the other agents mentioned above, it renders patients unconscious without producing pain relief. Because of its favourable physiological effects, "etomidate has been primarily used in sick patients". Ketamine is infrequently used in anesthesia practice because of the unpleasant experiences which sometimes occur upon emergence from anesthesia, which include "vivid dreaming, extracorporeal experiences, and illusions. However, like etomidate it is frequently used in emergency settings and with sick patients because it produces fewer adverse physiological effects. Unlike the intravenous anesthetic drugs previously mentioned, ketamine produces profound pain relief, even in doses lower than those which induce general anesthesia. Also unlike the other anesthetic agents in this section, patients who receive ketamine alone appear to be in a cataleptic state, unlike other states of anesthesia that resemble normal sleep. Ketamine-anesthetized patients have profound analgesia but keep their eyes open and maintain many reflexes.
The following agents have longer onset and duration of action and are frequently used for post-operative pain relief:
Another potentially disturbing complication where neuromuscular blockade is employed is 'anesthesia awareness'. In this situation, patients paralyzed may awaken during their anesthesia, due to an inappropriate decrease in the level of drugs providing sedation and/or pain relief. If this fact is missed by the anaesthesia provider, the patient may be aware of his surroundings, but be incapable of moving or communicating that fact. Neurological monitors are becoming increasingly available which may help decrease the incidence of awareness. Most of these monitors use proprietary algorithms monitoring brain activity via evoked potentials. Despite the widespread marketing of these devices many case reports exist in which awareness under anesthesia has occurred despite apparently adequate anesthesia as measured by the neurologic monitor.
A bestseller by Robin Cook, Harmful Intent has an anesthesiologist as the main character, who uncovers a legal conspiracy aimed at his specialty.
The 1978 film Coma depicts a series of events at the Boston Memorial Hospital in which patients are intentionally put into a comatose state via anesthesia and their organs later sold.
Metallica has a song from their album Kill 'Em All called (Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth.
Awake, a 2007 suspense thriller, is about anaesthesia awareness[see below].

Rickson Gracie heads new 'old school' fight show in Brazil
Rickson Gracie heads new 'old school' fight show in Brazil - Fighters OnlyJiu-jitsu legend and former vale tudo fighter Rickson Gracie has created an event that promises to astonish the fans.
Mestre do Combate debuts on November 22nd in Rio de Janeiro and has a format designed to leave viewers with no doubts about who has won the fights. Among the innovations is a weigh-in rule that has fighters hitting the scales on the day of the show, to eliminate big weight cuts.
In addition, the bell will not sound at the end of the round if it looks like a fighter is nearly about to be knocked out or submitted; the action will be allowed to run its course. Judges have also been eliminated - the winner will have to get the victory by KO/TKO or submission over two rounds, being the first of ten minutes duration and the second of five.
The rule is designed to give preference to martial arts ability rather than athletic ability. If there is no submission or stoppage, three votes will decide the winner - one vote from Rickson, other from the referee and the third of the public.
We want to create a new paradigm and recover values from the fight that were lost over time. Today, MMA fighting means blood and money. We will honour the warrior spirit and the fighting art, says Rickson.
Mestre do Combate also offers individual and team competitions. Inside the ring, the fighters go one-on-one but each of them will be part of a team that will represent a Brazilian city. One coach and five athletes (at heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, welterweight and lightweight) form the teams.
* I really like the same weigh in ideas and the round not being stopped if it looks as though a finish is about to happen.
Not too sure about the votes for a winner, interesting concept but I can see issues arising.

With six weeks of NFL football now in our rearview mirror, it's about the time of year we begin considering two looming events, the playoffs and head coaches getting their pink slips. Today, we'll be focusing on the latter. Although there are a number of terrible teams around the league, some coaches have a "get out of jail free" card going for them. Most first-year coaches, for example, don't have to worry about job security. Gus Bradley, who is leading one of the worst teams in recent memory, doesn't have to worry about the Jaguars firing him, even if the Jaguars finish with one win on the year. Everyone understands the Jaguars are awful, and no one is blaming the head coach. Other coaches, however, face a more difficult struggle. Tom Coughlin is one of the longest tenured head coaches in the league, and he's won two Super Bowls, yet his job security is tenuous at best. Most feel that the Giants, as one of the models of stability in the NFL, will let Coughlin determine his own fate at the end of the season, meaning a resignation is more likely than a dismissal. Predicting the first coach to get the ax is always difficult. Sometimes, a mid-season firing comes from a team most expected to wait. That being the case, this season's crop of hot-seat coaches is headlined by two utter disappointments. Gary Kubiak, who has been given more rope than almost every coach in NFL history, has been a chronic underachiever from the beginning of his tenure with the Houston Texans. This season has been no exception, and at 2-4, the Texans may begin looking for someone else to lead the team. Wade Phillips, the team's defensive coordinator, has plenty of head coaching experience, and he'd be the perfect interim coach to lead the Texans for the rest of the season in a post-Kubiak era. The other frontrunner comes out of Tampa Bay, where the Buccaneers can't win a game, and rumors have been flying around that Greg Schiano was the leak behind the news that former starting quarterback Josh Freeman was in the first stage of the NFL's drug abuse program. In addition, there's a strong perception that Schiano is a less than honest coach. With so much working against him, it's hard to imagine Schiano making it to the end of the year. Of the two men, it seems likely that Kubiak will actually outlast Schiano for one key reason. The Texans could still turn their season around, especially when we consider how much talent is on their roster. The Buccaneers, by contrast, are just a terrible football team that has virtually no hope of a playoff run, and the negative press the team is getting due to Schiano is just too much. [follow]
No way Tom gets canned...he has earned the right to walk away if he wants to at seasons end. But don't bet on him doing that. He won't want to go out on such a down note. Besides, the way the NFC East is this year the Giants may still win the division. The O Line seemed to jell against Chicago and Jacobs can obviously still play. Add to that the acquisition of John Conner at FB and today's deal to bring in Peyton Hillis and you have the makings of a ground game. They will also get Andre Brown back soon and David Wilson may just return kicks where he is dangerous in space. With a ground game Eli will have more time to throw and could cut down on his INT's. Many of his picks were the fault of the
receiver as well. I'm not giving up on this season just yet Coughlin will find a way to get this team back in the hunt.
And besides, no team has ever lost the first 6 and made the Playoffs...it's a long shot but the Law of Averages would say that a team will eventually do it, why not this season. You couldn't write a crazier script and Hollywood would laugh but ya just never know in sports.

I have a USB drive that I assign the drive letter U: to. Recently whenever I insert it into my Win 7 desktop it doesn't assign it the letter U. It tries to assign it H. If H is unavailable then it doesn't get a letter assigned and I have to manually reassign it each time by going into Disk Management.
Surely something must be wrong. I know I used to be able to assign it U: and have it use it automatically whenever I used it with this system.

New For 2013
The ILX is a new addition to the Acura model line, one priced and sized to attract young buyers to the brand for the first time.
There isn't a single automotive luxury brand today that isn't looking to capture the hearts and minds of a younger generation of buyers. Acura hopes its 2013 ILX resonates with that demographic. On sale since spring 2012, the ILX shares its underpinnings with the Honda Civic, but it's hard to call it a badge-engineered product. Every inch of sheetmetal is unique to the Acura, as is the cabin, which is awash in premium materials. In spite of the shared Civic underpinnings, the ILX drives rather differently than its Honda brethren. Dual-rate dampers and unique rear suspension geometry help improve ride quality over rough surfaces. Body roll is kept in check, and the car is surprisingly neutral when pushed hard into corners. The base model bundles a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with a five-speed automatic transmission. Those seeking more pep can opt for a 2.4-liter four, which is only available with a six-speed manual. Fuel-conscious buyers can also opt for the 111-hp Hybrid model, although its sedate acceleration will hardly set any pulses racing. Standard equipment on all ILX models includes keyless entry and ignition, a power moonroof, Bluetooth phone connectivity, and a Pandora Internet radio interface. The optional Technology Package adds ELS surround sound and navigation, but it's not available on the 2.4-liter model.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags; ABS; traction and stability control; electronic brake distribution; brake assist functions; and a tire pressure monitor are standard.
You'll like:
- Not just badge engineering
- Surprisingly balanced chassis
- Acura's first hybrid model
You won't like:
- Nearly costs TSX money
- Limited options on 2.4-liter model
- Hybrid feels anemic under hard acceleration
Key Competitors For The 2013 Acura ILX
- Audi A3
- Buick Verano
- Cadillac ATS
- Lexus CT200h

safari utensils. . . . .
I was very excited for this product, but they must be more for decoration and not real use. The spoon is too small to hold anything and the fork has prongs that are uneven and one is too sharp to use. Beautiful set, just not for regular use.
