John Santopietro, MD
Earlier this year, John Santopietro, MD, joined Carolinas HealthCare System to serve as the new chief clinical officer of behavioral health.
Prior to his new post, Dr. Santopietro served as the chief medical officer for Connecticut's Community Health Resources. He was also president of the Connecticut Psychiatric Society (CPS), the state branch of the American Psychiatric Association.
In that role, Dr. Santopietro was instrumental in developing the response to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings by sending psychiatrists to ground zero, who then provided services to all those impacted by the tragedy.
Recently, CPS honored Dr. Santopietro with the Service to CPS award, which commended his role in coordinating the response to Sandy Hook and continued efforts to promote behavioral health on a national level.
Here at Carolinas HealthCare System, Dr. Santopietro and his team are working through the newly created behavioral health service line to significantly and positively impact the unmet mental health needs of the local community.
What inspired you to specialize in behavioral health?
I was always interested in people, behavior, groups and what makes us tick. I took a course in college on Freud and was hooked. In medical school, despite a few temptations - including surgery - I became ever more fascinated by the brain and what makes the difference between people who recover from mental illness and those who continue to struggle. The minute I got into practice, I recoiled at how the behavioral healthcare system was so distressed and was doubly hooked. Now, I am fully committed to doing what I can to improve this.
What attracted you to joining Carolinas HealthCare System?
I think I am getting a reputation now as the 'sweet tea psychiatrist' after I wrote a piece about my excitement of finding Carolinas HealthCare System called, Sweet Tea and Mental Health Transformation for Psychiatric Times. In an epically, under-resourced field like behavioral health –even in the last four years, four billion dollars was drained from state mental health budgets in the United States – Carolinas HealthCare System's current focus on behavioral health provides a unique opportunity for truly innovative work to drive system transformation. Ahead of the curve, the System has arrived at the realization that investing in a strong behavioral health program is necessary for success in the value world, given how so much cost is driven by undertreated mental health issues. It is also the right thing to do – something deeply felt here, as well.
What are some of the biggest challenges facing mental health today?
Clearly, our biggest challenge in behavioral healthcare is stigma. It is in my opinion the primary reason people suffering with mental health issues avoid treatment. It is also the primary driver for the field being under-resourced, both in terms of funding for treatment and funding for research.
That said, we are making clear progress. We are having a national conversation about mental health in a way we have not in 50 years, fueled in part by national tragedies and in part by the healthcare dynamics at play. The federal government has begun funding the crucial scientific quest to map the brain, and those who have a good read on the pulse of the field predict more systems, like ours, are investing in the space as we are evermore focused on outcomes and cost.
Do you think stereotypes about mental health still exist today?
Absolutely. More than half of our community members who are suffering today with a mental illness go without treatment for this very reason. One driver of stigma is the perception that a condition is untreatable. Ironically, the vast majority of people suffering with mental illness recover with good treatment – 80 percent for bipolar, 70 percent for depression for example - but this has not made it into the community's collective understanding, likely because what's visible are many untreated or undertreated patients.
What are several top behavioral health initiatives underway at Carolinas HealthCare System you'd believe are of interest to providers?
First and foremost, is our ground-breaking project to integrate behavioral health service into primary care. We will leverage Carolinas Healthcare System's existing telehealth infrastructure by starting with well-proven national models and then innovate so we can take them to scale. When excellent behavioral health is part of the primary care team, there is no doubt that quality goes up for both medical and psychiatric measures, and costs go down.
Also, we are building a state-of-the-art behavioral health hospital with 66 beds in Davidson, N.C. It is hard to overstate the significance of building a new facility in an environment where resources are shrinking. It is a clear signal that we are committed to investing in behavioral health and in meeting community needs. When completed next year, the system will comprise 350 psychiatric beds. At Carolinas Medical Center-Randolph alone - with its 66 psychiatric beds and other programs - they treat 22,000 individuals annually with 550 employees, including a medical staff of over 50 and clinical staff of over 200.
I would also like to formerly welcome Martha Whitecotton, MSN, FACHE, senior vice president of behavioral health services, as the co-leader of the service line. She brings great energy, impressive leadership and a proven record of success in our System.
What is your background in medicine?
I completed my undergraduate degree at Yale University, medical school at Northwestern University, my internship and residency at Harvard's Cambridge Hospital and fellowship at Harvard's Austen Riggs Center.
What books are you reading?
Right now, I am reading The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg and The Power of Myth with Joseph Campbell.
Who are your role models?
My two grandfathers are my role models. One ran a fish market; he taught me to get up early, work hard, put customers first and not to fear getting your hands dirty. The other was a craftsman who worked in auto tops and was one of the most naturally gifted people I have known at connecting with and finding the good in others.
Favorite quote?
I am currently liking The Master Craftsman Leaves No Mark, which I picked up in a book recommended to me on arrival here at Carolinas HealthCare System.
Tell us about your family.
My wife Kathy and our three boys - Max, Griffin and Beckett - are my strongest sources of support and hope. If any evidence exists that I have done anything right in my life, they are it.

There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
What is a rotavirus infection?
Rotavirus is a contagious virus. Among children, it's the leading cause of severe diarrhea. In some infants and children, diarrhea may be so bad that they become dehydrated and may require emergency care or hospitalization.
What causes a rotavirus infection?
Rotavirus usually spreads from fecal-oral contact. This normally happens because of poor hand-washing or from consuming contaminated food or water. In addition, the virus:
Are rotavirus infections common?
Most children have been infected with Rotavirus by the time they are 3. In fact, rotavirus infections are the most common cause of diarrhea in children. More specifically:
What are the symptoms of a rotavirus infection?
Symptoms of a Rotavirus infection range from mild or severe. They may take up to two days to appear after coming in contact with the virus. While symptoms may vary child-to-child, the most common include:
Can you prevent rotavirus infections?
Proper hygiene, hand washing and cleaning surfaces (such as toys and door knobs) are the best way to prevent catching a rotavirus. In addition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are two brands of vaccines that can help prevent Rotavirus infections, given when your child is 2 months, 4 months and potentially 6 months.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

It was another day of next to nothing concrete happening in NBA. Sorry, folks. It appears that free agents, much like media types, are just waiting to see what LeBron James decides to do. Once he picks a team, the floodgates will most certainly open.
Speaking of LeBron, as one does, respected NBA reporter Chris Sheridan is saying that "a plugged-in source" tells him that "there is a 90 percent chance that LeBron James will return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and it will be announced on www.lebronjames.com if it happens." Sheridan thinks the move makes sense, for these reasons:
1. There is nothing left for him to accomplish in Miami. He went there for four years, he went to the NBA Finals all four years, and he won two titles while learning what it takes to be a champion. Nobody can ever take that away from him.
2. A chance to return home as a successful, seasoned adult with a chance to deliver the city of Cleveland its first championship in any sport since 1964 is too much of a legacy opportunity for James to pass up.
3. And another thing: The best player he has a chance to team up with is named Kyrie Irving.
Now, those points seem debatable, especially the last one, considering that Chris Bosh appears to be giving James every chance to let them team up again in Miami. Also, it is still not out of the question that, when the music stops, James could be teammates with Carmelo Anthony.
But the greater takeaway is the ever-building drumbeat of LeBron-to-the-Cavaliers. Remember that before The Decision in 2010, rumors were rampant that James and Bosh would join forces with Dwyane Wade on the Heat. Well, the rumors are rampant again, but for a Reverse Decision of sorts. Unfortunately, rumors are all we have right now.
Well, I guess we do know that James is set to meet with Heat string-puller Pat Riley on Wednesday in Las Vegas. Previously in Vegas, on Monday, this happened:
LeBron James & Dwyane Wade had dinner at LAVO in Vegas late last night with some friends before going to Marquee Night Club, a source said.
— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) July 8, 2014
LAVO spokeswoman on dinner last night: "James and Wade enjoyed items from the LAVO menu such as sea bass, steak and grilled vegetables." — Scott Cacciola (@ScottCacciola) July 8, 2014
(H/T cbssports.com)
So read into that what you will. I read, "Mmmmmm … sea bass …. "
Oh, and here's something concrete!
Yahoo Sources: Utah's Gordon Hayward reaches agreement on a four-year, $63M max offer sheet with Charlotte. http://t.co/YitfvLOEhQ
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 9, 2014
Of course, the Jazz can match the Hornets' offer, meaning that Hayward might not be going anywhere. Darn, just when the free agency picture appeared to be getting 0.1% clearer.

When Toronto mayor Rob Ford's friend and occasional driver, Alessandro Lisi, would drop by Richview Cleaners in a leafy Toronto neighbourhood, he sometimes hung around after the shop closed to share a joint, said the owner.
Mr. Lisi, who is known as Sandro, brought in the mayor's cleaning and mending – as well as marijuana, according to Jamshid Bahrami, who operates Richview.
Mr. Bahrami told The Globe and Mail that Mr. Lisi supplied him with marijuana, which Mr. Bahrami said he is authorized to use to treat his rheumatoid arthritis.
"Sometimes Sandro gets it for me, sometimes lots of people get it for me," he said in an interview on Friday. "I don't drive."
A Toronto police raid of the shop Tuesday – part of an "ongoing criminal investigation" – also found "traces of cocaine," according to Mr. Bahrami.
Mr. Lisi, 35, and Mr. Bahrami, 47, face several drug-related offences, including possession and trafficking. They were each released on $5,000 bail. Mr. Lisi's lawyers did not respond to requests for comments Friday. Mr. Bahrami maintains he is innocent.
Mr. Bahrami, a father who immigrated to Canada from Iran in 1987, was unclear on the source of the cocaine in his shop, though he said he sometimes has friends over. But he said he's not a drug dealer. "That maybe is from the customer's pocket that has fallen down here. Maybe it was there," he said, standing in front of racks of clothes in the narrow store. "I agree I party sometimes here after the closing. I have like a beer. Somebody must have done a line [of cocaine]."
Asked to elaborate, Mr. Bahrami said: "Is that a crime? Is it a big crime?"
Mr. Lisi has been in the media spotlight in recent months, after it was revealed he was the subject of a police probe into attempts to retrieve the alleged Ford drug video. Mr. Lisi, who has been spotted at Mr. Ford's side chauffeuring him to official functions and fending off reporters, was described by the mayor on Wednesday as "on the straight and narrow." "[I've] never once seen the guy drink. Never once seen the guy do drugs," Mr. Ford said.
Mr. Ford did not take journalists' questions on the Lisi investigation on Friday while in Austin, Tex., for a business development mission. His spokesman did not respond to an e-mailed list of questions about Mr. Bahrami. After reports surfaced in May of an alleged video that appears to show him smoking crack cocaine, Mr. Ford said: "I do not use crack cocaine." He has also denied the existence of the video.
Mr. Bahrami said he has never met Mr. Ford, but sees the mayor outside his shop, which is in a busy strip mall that has several small stores, about a 10-minute drive from Mr. Ford's house in Etobicoke.
Mr. Bahrami said he became friends with Mr. Lisi, who lives with his parents about 10 minutes away from his business, after he began dropping off his dry cleaning a couple of years ago. He's also brought in Mr. Ford's cleaning and mending "because I have a very good tailor," Mr. Bahrami said. He noted that Mr. Lisi has invited him to his parents' home, but said he declined the offer because he had to work. On at least one occasion, Mr. Lisi's mother sent food to his store.
On Tuesday evening, Mr. Bahrami said Mr. Lisi dropped by as he was closing. The dry cleaner was tired from working all day, he said, so they went to the back of the shop and "we had a joint."
Mr. Lisi, whose black Range Rover was parked out front, went to get something from his car when "boom, they just rushed," Mr. Bahrami said of police. "I said 'what happened?' and suddenly other cops jumped here, handcuffed me – 'put your head down, put your head down.'"
They searched his shop, eventually leaving with a box of evidence including a jar of marijuana, he said. Both men spent the night in custody. By Friday morning, Mr. Bahrami – whose customers call him "Jay" – had reopened the shop he's owned for almost 20 years. He was also busy cleaning up the mess that police left behind and fretting about the future of his business.
"Wouldn't you be worried?" he said. "Put yourself in my shoes."
Mr. Bahrami's wife, with whom he has a nine-year-old son, lives in a North York townhouse the couple purchased in 2001. Neighbours said they believed that the couple were separated and Mr. Bahrami was living in the back of his cramped shop – something both he and his wife now deny. "There's no shower, there's no kitchen, there's no nothing here," he said, but acknowledged he would sleep there from time to time.
Mr. Bahrami said he believes the police and media are out to get Mr. Ford. On Friday, The Globe confirmed that Toronto police had used an airplane as part of an investigation into the mayor's associates. "That's my mistake and his mistake, too," Mr. Bahrami said, referring to Mr. Ford. "Being nice, being stupid, being naïve, you know."
"They want to pin the mayor," he said. "And I know I'm stuck in the middle."Report Typo/Error

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am a 23 year old now mother of 2 and a wife, when I was 19 I was charged with a felony trying to cash a check that was not mine I ended up with deferred adjudication and 2 years probation that was the first and last time I have ever got In any trouble, now that I have matured more I am realizing how important It is to have a squeaky clean record in order to get better jobs, I would like this expunged from my record I pay nearly 1,500 mth for daycare so money Is tight for my husband and I can I do this process myself? if so what are the steps?
I assume that your conviction was in California. If so, then the following advise can help you.
There are 2 things that you can do.
First you may be able to do a motion under 17b of the penal code to reduce your felony conviction to a misdemeanor. You should have a lawyer for this but it is not that expensive to do this.
The second motion is a motion under PC 1203.4 of the penal code. This would be a motion that would "expunge your record" for most purposes. There is a filing fee that ranges from 60 to 120 dollars to get this done. You can attempt to do this on your own by downloading the forms or going to the court where you were convicted and picking up the forms.
If you have more questions you can visit our website at wklaw.com or you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I hope this helps
Paul J. Wallin
Wallin and Klarich
If you want a lawyer to help you t
Are you sure you have a felony conviction? You mentioned that you entered a deferred adjudication program. Did you complete the program? If so, the charges may have been dismissed. Go to the court that handled your case. Go to the criminal clerk of courts office, and ask to see the docket or journal entry that resolved your case. You might not even have a felony conviction on your record. Good luck.
Disclaimer: I am not offering legal advice, assume I do not know the law in your state and that I am just making suggestions for starting points for when you do speak with an attorney. Do NOT rely on anything I write and contact a lawyer in your area immediately after reading my posting.Ask a similar question
I assume that your case was in Texas & that Texas laws apply. If you received a deferred adjudication probation (meaning that the court deferred the adjudication of your guilt and placed you on probation or what is also known as community supervision) and you were not revoked, then you can apply to have your record sealed. You apply in the court in which you got the deferred. There is a filing fee but it is not a difficult situation. I have seen some people in Houston file pro se (meaning for themselves). The statute of limitations must have run on the case and the court will have to find that it is in the best interest of you and of the community to seal your record. Be aware that a sealed record does not prevent law enforcement from seeing the case; it only seals it as to public views. Good luck.
CynthiaAsk a similar question
While in Texas you do not qualify for an expungement because of your deferred you may qualify for a motion for non disclosure. Typically, you must wait five years after you successfully completed the deferred adjudication. I have explained how to do this in the legal guides and blogged about the differences between a expungement and a motion for non disclosure. I will leave the link for the blog below.
You should contact a criminal defense attorney in your area in order to determine if you qualify for a motion for non disclosure.

Jamie just got an iPhone 5 and I wouldn't let him take it out of the box without a protective case for it! Cell phones are so expensive and depending on warranty and contract if your new phone breaks you might be stuck buying a new one at full price which is crazy! For that reason my house always looks to Otterbox when buying a cell phone case!
OtterBox.com is the only place where you can build your very own Defender Series iPhone 5 case. The Defender Series case was designed for demanding conditions, heavy use and random accidents. Three layers of defense include a plastic shell that cushions the iPhone 5 while a built-in screen protector prevents scratches and smudges. The rubber layer wraps around the inner shell, creating a practically indestructible iPhone 5 case. A holster is included and doubles as a viewing stand. The Defender Series iPhone 5 case will protect your investment from drops, dust and other accidents. Get the kind of protection that inspires confidence with the Defender Series iPhone 5 case by OtterBox.
It was so cool that Jamie could design his own case and he created this blue and green combination. It took just a few minutes and then in a few days the case was here. It is SO protective and durable, I know nothing will happen to his phone with this Defender case by Otterbox on it! I also love that there is a built in screen protector so that you don't have to worry about the bumps or peeling you get from some screen protectors. Overall this is a very impressive case. It's not too bulky but provides superior protection to keep your cell phone as perfect as it was on the day you got it!
I received a sample for this review. All opinions are my own.

In a match that was rearranged as a day-night affair after flooding on the Waca pitch caused a delay, New Zealand batted first and started disastrously losing wickets at regular intervals in the face of some disciplined bowling by the Southern Stars, spearheaded byEmma Twining (4-17) and were shot out for paltry 114.
Chasing 115 for victory, captain Karen Rolton led from the front, scoring a solid 43 to guide the hosts home. For New Zealand, Helen Watson tried to bring the visitors into the game, triggering a collapse in the middle-overs claiming three wickets but that was not enough as Australia romped home with 4.3 overs to spare.
The annual Rose Bowl series serves as a warm-up for the Women's Cricket World Cup beginning from March 22 in South Africa.

This video purports to show Libyan rebels near Benghazi shooting down one of Moammar Gadhafi's MiGs with a shoulder-fired missile. Thousands of miles away, in New York, the United Nations Security Council on Thursday voted to allow foreign forces — meaning, in practice, NATO — to pick up where the rebels left off.
The Security Council resolution, antiseptically, authorizes the enforcement of a no-fly zone over Libyan airspace. As senior airmen involved in the enforcement of earlier no-fly zones told Danger Room last week, there is no such thing as an antiseptic no-fly zone. The council's call for "all necessary measures" to ground Gadhafi's warplanes and helicopters and to "protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack" means that countries enforcing the U.N. mandate are at war with Gadhafi. Nothing less.
The question naturally becomes: what's victory? How does this end? The United Nations has approved a tactic. It hasn't set out a strategy. The fact that France showed more enthusiasm than the U.S. for the no-fly zone underscores the lack of agreement about just how far this intervention will go. Logically, the endstate implied by the U.N. vote is the end of Gadhafi's rule over Libya. But it's far from certain that's what nations signing on to a no-fly zone are committed to bringing about, especially if Gadhafi proves to be resilient.
Libya's rebels have shown remarkable tenacity and courage in the face of relentless violence by Gadhafi's forces, especially after nearly a week's worth of drastic setbacks. They've called for international support to prevent Gadhafi's copters and jets from attacking them, and now they've gotten it. But most Gadhafi loyalists are confronting the rebels on the ground, not from the air. Blake Hounshell of Foreign Policy writes, "What needs to happen now is swift military action against Qaddafi's heavy weapons — call it a 'no-drive zone,' and perhaps even the bombing of his compound in Tripoli." Do those who'd enforce the no-fly zone have the stomach for that? How far are they actually willing to go to support the rebels?
Andrew Exum of the Center of a New American Security is a veteran of the two other wars that America is waging at the moment. Both of them have proven to be bloody, protracted affairs because of an inability to craft a strategy for what happens after invading, especially after encountering setbacks. Exum thoughtfully writes:
What happens if Gadhafi pulls back? Do we continue to try and press the advantage of the rebels until his government falls? Do we have the authorization to do that? Do we expect a civil war in Libya to drag out, and if so, how will we take sides? If Gadhafi falls, what comes next? What will the new Libyan government look like? Will they be friendly to U.S. interests? Someone please tell me how this ends.
NATO has flown AWACS in the airspace near Libya 24/7 for the past nine days, giving it the coalition ample time to identify targets and Gadhafi's air defenses. Pentagon spokesmen didn't immediately return an email asking what naval or air assets would move into position to support the no-fly zone. Laura Rozen of Yahoo! writes that air strikes against Libya could begin "within hours." If so, the U.S. will be waging a third simultaneous war, with an endgame no clearer than the other two.
And if the video posted here is authentic, then Small World News' Brian Conley was right when he told Danger Room from Benghazi this morning that the rebels shot down one of Gadhafi's jets. Now to see if the international community shows the same resilience.

Michael Jackson concerts may face legal challenge
By Alex Dobuzinskis
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A music promoter plans to sue to block Michael Jackson from performing in London this year, claiming that a contract signed by the "king of pop" prevents him from giving a concert until July 2010, the head of the promotion company said on Monday.
New Jersey-based AllGood Entertainment Inc contends it signed an agreement in November with Jackson's manager, Frank DiLeo, committing the singer to perform in July 2010 along with his brothers from the Jackson Five and sister Janet Jackson.
Under the agreement, Michael Jackson cannot give another concert until that Jackson Family reunion show, said Patrick Allocco, managing partner at AllGood Entertainment.
AllGood Entertainment sent a cease and desist letter to DiLeo and to concert promoter AEG Live, which has signed Jackson to perform a series of 50 shows at London's 02 Arena starting in July, Allocco said. In the letter, AllGood Entertainment warned that its agreement with DiLeo barred Jackson from performing the London shows for AEG Live.
A source at AEG Live acknowledged the company had been contacted and called AllGood's claims meaningless. The source said rehearsals in Los Angeles are continuing in preparation for the July shows at the 02.
A representative for Jackson did not return calls.
Allocco said his company's plans to sue in federal court come after failed attempts to negotiate with Jackson and reach a deal to allow the London shows to go ahead.
"As of right now we've gotten zero cooperation from anyone, Frank DiLeo refuses to honor our agreement and that's why we're filing a lawsuit by week's end," Allocco said. Continued...

Sri Lankan off-spinner Suraj Randhiv who seemed to have deliberately no-balled to leave Virender Sehwag stranded on 99 in the third match of the tri-series in Dambulla where India won by 6 wickets has apologized for his antics to Sehwag.
Virender Sehwag confirmed through a twit saying that Randhiv had come to his room and placed his apology.
SLC secretary Nishantha Ranatunga had earlier called up the Indian team manager Ranjib Biswal and apologized for Monday's incident.
Sehwag was just one short of his 13th ODI hundred when Randiv, who had not bowled a no ball in the Test or ODI series this season, bowled one which was hit by the opener for a six. However, it did not count because the no ball amounted to India's winning run leaving Sehwag on an unbeaten 99.
Randiv's delibrate no-ball was criticised by Sehwag in the post match press conference and to put an end to the incident, Ranatunga gave Biswal a call to apologize.
"In the morning, Ranatunga called me up personally and apologised on behalf of the board for the Sehwag incident," Biswal said.
"He said this was not in the spirit of the game. Nishantha said 'We have a good relationship with India and we apologise for yesterday's incident'," Biswal revealed.
The Indian manager said Ranatunga asked him to convey the apologies to Sehwag.
"Since the secretary has called us, we are treating this matter as closed," Biswal said.
Ranatunga said that the SLC is awaiting the report from the team manager before deciding on further course of action.
"We have asked him to probe the incident. We will take necessary action in this regard once we get the report. We are upset about the incident and we are unhappy as Sri Lankan cricketers have won the ICC spirit of the game award thrice and these things won't be tolerated," he said.
India comprehensively won last night's match by six wickets but the conduct of the Sri Lankan team caused upset in the visitors' camp.
Minutes after the game, a livid Sehwag told reporters that Sri Lanka had used such tactics earlier also, pointing out that they had left Sachin Tendulkar stranded at 99 with a similar strategy in a match in Cuttack.
Sehwag said that Randiv had not bowled a single no ball earlier and asked "How can he bowl one at this point?"
"It was clear that the Lankan team did not want me to get to my 100," the opener said.

Below is the original rough concept sketch, because it's always fun to see how ideas evolve:
Black Phillip Design + Merchandise
Peter: "Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?
After seeing The Witch I fell in love with it's arresting visuals, crazy soundtrack and breakout star: Black Philip.
I didn't see much merch for the film so I decided to draw up my own design and make it available on shirts, mugs, bags, etc – inspired by 19th century etchings but injected with fresh, bold color.
Update: Thank you everyone for making this my all time best selling design on S6. All of the attention has resulted in it's selection for the site's own curated "Society6 Shop" (not just my own shop's page)! Very cool!
…Black Phillip, Black Phillip, king of sky and land, Black Phillip, Black Phillip, king of sea and sand…
Head Trauma (part 1)
It had been WAY TOO LONG (years) since we had the opportunity to devise a new photo series together, but this past holiday break we were in the right place at the right time and Head Trauma was born. In addition to some fun costuming, we utilized a fisheye lens and off-camera flash lighting, with the final results created completely in camera. Stripped down, haunting and raw, these are just a peek at a few of the images we captured:

More to come….
Fall-Time Vignette

Enough to put you off your turkey dinner? Probably…
The guys at PornHub have released some pretty interesting stats about what type of things brings people to their patch over the Thanksgiving period – based on 2014's most popular search terms. And it's pretty bizarre.
It seems are transatlantic cousins don't only have a hankering for some delicious turkey over the festive period. Some of the most searched terms on the site include: 'Holiday sex'; 'Thanksgiving sex'; Thanksgiving orgy (because, why not?); and a 'Thanksgiving blowjob'.
But these rather revealing stats don't really answer as many questions as its asks. What is thanksgiving sex? Does it involves buttering up your meat? Does it come with extra stuffing? Who knows. But it's enough to put you off your food- that's for sure.
That sheer amount of traffic to the site is staggering too. The overall figures increases by nearly 4,000 per cent over Thanksgiving Day, whilst on Black Friday it goes up (in more ways than one) by 2,785 per cent.
The traffic tends to spike at 2am on Thanksgiving Day, then again at 11am (a standard mid-morning wank, who knew?)… and again at 2am the following morning.
'As always, we hope you enjoyed today's Insights,' the report concludes.
Well at least that answers the question 'can the mind vomit?'. Yes, yes it can.

text: Posted October 17, 2007 Well every now and then a guy wakes up and thinks "I should go fishing today" Yesterday was such a day and I really should have went fishing instead of doing the right thing and trying to get something productive done. Woke up at 4am and stumbled out to the tractor, and by 5 am the throttle was cranked up, hot black smoke rolling into the cool night air and lights blazing into the darkness as I dropped the plow for the first cut of the day and set a course right for the belly of hell. As I sat two thirds of the way down the first pass across the field I looked out the window into the darkness at the mud piled up to the bottom of the door and thought, "Yup, should have went fishing today." After rounding up neighboring farmers, we spent the morning breaking cables pulling with multiple other tractors only to realize we needed something bigger…should have went fishing. After a phone call to All Seasons Contracting a excavator was in route from 60 miles away to dig out may latest trophy…should have went fishing. By dusk we had a tractor on high ground and big hole in the middle of the field, all that was left was to start washing the mud off of everything, of course this is left for the guy that got everything muddy…should have went fishing. So the next time you wake up and think "I should go fishing today", just go. It will be cheaper in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Published: 12th Nov 2014
The popularity of Facebook is showing no signs of abating.
According to figures released in the social network's third-quarter results, 864 million people were using the site on a daily basis during the period. This represents growth of 19 per cent compared to the same time last year.
To put this figure into context, the population of Europe is roughly 742 million, which demonstrates just how popular Facebook is on a global level.
On a monthly basis, the social network received an average of 1.35 billion active users during the third quarter, an increase of 14 per cent year on year.
These impressive figures helped Facebook report an increased profit. The organisation's net income for the third quarter was $806 million (£506 million), which is up 90 per cent when compared to last year.
Facebook founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said: "This has been a good quarter with strong results. We continue to focus on serving our community well and continue to invest in connecting the world over the next decade."
The social network has also revealed that the number of people using its Messenger service, which was launched in 2011, has now reached 500 million.
Peter Martinazzi, Facebook director of product management, stated: "This is an exciting milestone but with a half billion people relying on Messenger to communicate and connect, it is also a reminder that there is so much left for us to do."
Facebook is still some way ahead of Twitter when it comes to popularity. The latter currently has 284 million monthly active users, who are responsible for half a billion tweets each day.
Pop star Katy Perry remains the most popular person on Twitter, with close to 60 million followers, just short of the entire population of the UK. Justin Bieber, Barack Obama, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga complete the top five.
Harry Styles of One Direction fame is the most followed Brit on the network, with some 22 million followers.

Questions on Capresso Coffee Machine - 10 Cup Coffee Maker - MG600 PLUS
- From at 3/25/13 1:48 AM
- How hot does it brew and about how hot does it keep the coffee after brewing? THANK YOU
- All Capresso coffee makers brew at 200 degrees - how hot the coffee stays depends on a few things - if the coffee is brewed into a cold container, glass or thermal the temp
drops. If less than a whole carafe is brewed it also will drop more quickly. This one does have a warmer so it will keep the coffee hot while it is sitting on the warmer.
The warmer shuts off automatically after 2 hours.
Best way to insure the hottest coffee is to brew a full pot and also to "flash" the carafe - or heat it up first by filling with hot water.

Power Boat Guide
The Bayliner 4788 Pilothouse MY is a restyled and
lengthened version of the very popular 4550/4588 Pilothouse
MY that Bayliner produced from 1984–93.
Bayliner designers reversed the radar arch on the 4788 PH/MY and softened the flybridge profile for a sleeker and more modern appearance. Inside, the superb pilothouse floor plan of the original 4788 is a solid winner.
The L-shaped lounge was moved to starboard in the salon, and the increased hull length of the 4788 can be seen in the enlarged galley and salon dimensions.
The guest stateroom is fitted with double berth, and the master stateroom—has a settee with hinged upper and lower berths. Visibility from the raised pilothouse is excellent. The cockpit is sheltered from the sun by a bridge overhang, and the side decks are wide enough for safe and secure fore-deck passage. Cummins diesels will cruise at 20–21 knots.

What are the Best Fluid Mechanics Books?
Fluid mechanics is a vast subject and addresses issues related to the mechanical behavior of fluids. Fluids, in general, can mean both liquids and gasses. Fluid mechanics has a wide range of applications, from mechanical and aerospace engineering to geophysics to biomechanics. It will be hard to find real life applications which are not influenced by fluid flows.
This article discusses fluid mechanics books and relevant literature pertaining to different areas of CFD that would be of interest to learners. Starting from basic thermodynamics and dimensional analysis, the article continues to address sources related to incompressible and compressible flows, viscous flows and boundary layers, acoustics, turbomachinery and eventually turbulence.
Dimensional Analysis and Mathematical Preliminaries
Dimensional analysis is a mathematical technique that is commonly used in fluid mechanics to study the influence of parameters on the influence of the flow. Here dimensional analysis is used to build relationships between several variables.
One of the very common non-dimensional numbers is the Reynolds number which quantifies the ratio between inertial and viscous forces prevalent in the flow. For example, when designing large structures in aerospace and aeronautics applications, it is impossible to build real scale models during the design phase. Hence, reduced scale models are used to simulate the same turbulence effects (or Reynolds number flow).
One of the classics is the book titled "Dimensional analysis" by Bridgeman P W. However, the book is quite old and can show inconsistencies with present notation etc. An alternate reference could be the book titled "Similarity and Dimensional Methods in Mechanics" by L. I. Sedov. However, for the more uninitiated, any fluid mechanics book should provide a small overview of dimensional analysis to start with. That would provide a suitable quick read to understand the topic in brevity.
In addition, a basic understanding of vector calculus can go a long way in understanding mechanics easier. Some beginner references include:
- Vectors, Tensors, and the Basic Equations of Fluid Mechanics by R. Aris
- Vector Analysis Schaum's Outline Series by M. R. Spiegel
General Fluid Mechanics Books
Once the basics of dimensional analysis and the rationale for non-dimensional numbers have been established, an apt foundation exists to move into the area of general fluid dynamics.
"An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics" by G. K. Batchelor remains one of the classic fluid mechanics books that addresses the theories of fluid mechanics in an elegant manner. Though published in 1960's, this timeless classic still can hold a reader at sway.
"Physical Fluid Dynamics" by D. J. Tritton provides an excellent treatment of fluid mechanics related issues from the perspective of an engineer. This is a strongly recommended read for mechanical and aerospace engineering who are interested in understanding fluid mechanics.
Large Eddy Simulation of flow around a cylinder
For those who are more mathematically inclined, "Fluid Mechanics" by L. D. Landau and E. M. Lifshitz is a perfect treatise on fluid mechanics. The latest reprint also includes a chapter on computational fluid dynamics and introduces simple computational methodologies for simple flows.
Incompressible and inviscid flows or commonly known as potential flows are very commonly used in design processes. Though simple, they provide an excellent estimate regarding the flow parameters. Most often, like in pipe flows, fluid velocity is small enough that there is no change in density. Thus, they can be considered as incompressible in nature. "Incompressible Flow" by R. L. Panton addresses various issues related to primarily incompressible fluids.
Some topics in this topic for a newbie could include: control volume equations, differential equations, eulerian and lagrangian formulations, Reynolds transport theorem, analysis of stress and strain, Newtonian fluid, Navier-Stokes equations, vorticity equation, energy theorems.
Compressible Fluid Flow
Many of the mechanical and aerospace engineering applications, the fluid speeds are much larger and comparable to the speed of sound. In these applications, the fluid density changes cannot be neglected anymore and thus need to be treated as compressible in nature.
Density variation in the fluid around an aircraft – simulation performed with SimScale
"Modern Compressible Flow: With Historical Perspective" by J. D. Anderson has been a well-renowned fluid mechanics book that is followed in most graduate courses in Fluid mechanics. The book is aimed at engineers and professionals and provides a balanced outlook between traditional methods and modern computer techniques. Another commonly used reference book is "Compressible Fluid Dynamics" by P. A. Thompson. Thompson also provides a balanced approach that is most suitable for applied researchers and professionals.
A timeless classic remains in the book "Elements of Gasdynamics" by H. A. Liepmann and A. Roshko. Liepmann and Roshko bring into this book all their expertise of actually having tested even the first airplanes in the wind tunnels of Caltech. Nevertheless, the book requires a good working knowledge of calculus and basic physics.
Some topics in this topic for a newbie could include:
- Quasi 1-D flow: Shock waves, flows with friction, flows with heat addition, Mollier diagram, the fundamental derivative of gas dynamics, nozzles, subsonic and supersonic flow, choking total pressure, stagnation pressure, static pressure.
- 1-D unsteady flow: Riemann invariants, characteristics expansion waves, shock waves, Rayleigh line, shock adiabat or Hugoniot weak shock and strong shock limits, acoustics contact surfaces, shock tubes, detonation, flames
- 2-D steady flow: Characteristics, Prandtl-Meyer expansion fan, flow around corners: interior and exterior, formation of shock waves, polar diagrams, Mach waves, Crocco's theorem, moving sources, acoustic solution
Viscous Flows and Boundary Layers
All fluids are viscous in nature, i.e. exhibit some frictional behavior. When fluids flow, the neighboring layers of fluids are moving at slightly different velocities and this causes a frictional resistance that is more commonly known as viscosity. The velocity gradient is referred to as strain rate. Some fluids, known as Newtonian fluids, that show a linear dependence between strain rate and viscous force. The constant of proportionality here is often referred to as the coefficient of viscosity. In contrast non-Newtonian fluids, like blood, emulsions etc, demonstrate a more complicated nonlinear behavior.
There are several fluid dynamics books in this regard but three stand out and are commonly used in most universities and by professionals:
- Viscous Flows by F. Sherman
- Boundary Layer Theory by H. Schlichting
- Viscous Fluid Flow by F. M. White
While the books by F. M. White and H. Schlichting are more up-to-date, the fluid mechanics book by Sherman is slightly harder to find. Nevertheless, all these books are a great read to get an insight into the viscous flows.
Some topics in this topic for a newbie could include:
Acoustics, Aerodynamics and Rotating Flows
Fluid flowing in a centrifugal pump – simulation performed with SimScale
Some other tertiary or specialized topics that need a thorough understanding of fluid flows include acoustics, aerodynamics, and rotating flows. Though each topic caters to a different audience, they are all specialized topics for advanced readers and hence clustered here.
Books that provide an interesting overview of acoustics include:
- Acoustics: An Introduction to its Physical Principles and Applications by A. D. Pierce
- Theory of Vortex Sound by M. S. Howe
Aerodynamics in itself is a vast area but some interesting preliminary reads include:
- Foundations of Aerodynamics: Bases of Aerodynamic Design by A. M. Kuethe and C. Y. Chow
- Principles of Ideal-Fluid Aerodynamics by K. Karamcheti
Rotating flows are commonly seen in turbomachinery and a starting reference would be "Rotating Fluids in Engineering and Science" by J. P. Vanyo.
An undisputed book in understanding Turbulence has been the fluid dynamics book on "Turbulent Flows" by Stephen B. Pope. An alternative book for readers who would prefer slightly different notations is the book "Turbulence: An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers" by P. Davidson. Both these books are a treat to read for engineers, scientists, mathematicians and hobbyists alike.
Thermodynamics and Data Tables
Thermodynamics forms the basis of all mechanics. All mechanics are based upon the foundation of the laws of thermodynamics. As a beginner, it is confusing to see how the two are related. However, one needs to understand that mechanics deal with the motion of bodies and all objects are made of smaller particles that are governed by the laws of thermodynamics.
It would not be wrong to say that mechanics is a derivative of thermodynamics. Some important reference to get started with thermodynamics are
- Thermodynamics, Schaum's Outline Series by M. M. Abbott and H. A. van Ness
- Equilibrium Thermodynamics by C. J. Adkins
Some important data tables needed for calculations include
- Equations, Tables and Charts for Compressible Flow, NACA 1135
- Thermodynamic Properties in SI by W. C. Reynolds
- The Properties of Gases and Liquids by B. E. Poling, J. M. Prausnitz, and J. P. O'Connell
So here it is, a list of the best fluid mechanics books to help you understand all areas of fluid dynamics including compressible flows, viscous flows, turbulence, aerodynamics, acoustics, thermodynamics and more. Hope you like it!

The Wall Street Journal highlights how the consensus forecast has gone from bad to worse, and then even worse since September. An excerpt from the article: Economists in the latest Wall Street Journal forecasting survey, while still mostly projecting growth in the U.S. gross domestic product by the third quarter, largely agree that a "second-half recovery"—a scenario that has been a common feature of most 2009 outlooks—is looking much less likely now than it did a few months ago. Recent data showing just how sharply growth in the U.S. and abroad has declined in the final months of 2008 have cast a deepening shadow over 2009.
As recently as September, economists, on average, thought the U.S. would see annualized GDP growth of 1.2% in the first three months of this year; now, they see a 4.6% decline. Forecasts for the second quarter, the April-June period, have seen a similar shift, from a 1.9% growth forecast to a 1.5% decline, based on the 52 economists who participated in the Journal's February survey.
The average forecast now sees growth in the third quarter at 0.7%, less than half the rate expected last fall. The fourth-quarter picture has also darkened, but just slightly, to growth of 1.9% from the 2.1% seen in November. Five economists see growth declining through the fourth quarter of 2009; they say the current consensus outlook, which says the recession will end in August as GDP growth returns positive, is far too optimistic.
"The consensus is usually late to the party," said Brian Fabbri, chief economist at BNP Paribas, noting that he was one of the few to forecast the current recession two years ago. Now, he is one of the five who sees GDP declining through the end of 2009, along with Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at forecasting firm MFR Inc., Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics, Swiss Re chief U.S. economist Kurt Karl and retired Vanderbilt University professor J. Dewey Daane. I listened to Global Insight's quarterly webcast today; they have become extremely negative. Back in September 2008, they were forecasting +1.0% growth in 2009, but now they are forecasting -2.5%. My, how things have gone downhill so quickly - that's why "precipitous" has become the adjective du jour.

A woman gets pregnant around the days when ovulation occurs. The average time of ovulation is the 14th day of an average length (28 day) menstrual cycle. Ovulation time vary for each individual, and can occur from 12th to 19th day of the cycle . Sperm can live up to 3 to 5 days in a womans reproductive tract, so it is possible to become pregnant if unprotected sex occurs 5 days before ovulation. The life span of the typical egg is relatively short, only around 24 hours. If fertilization does not occur within that time frame, the egg will die...good luck..
