Non-communicating hydroceles
Non-communicating hydroceles may also be present at birth or develop as a boy matures. In a non-communicating hydrocele the tail end of the process vaginalis has closed appropriately. The fluid surrounding the testicle is created by the lining cells of the process vaginalis and is unable to either drain or be reabsorbed efficiently and thus accumulates. Since this fluid is walled off, the size of the hydrocele is generally stable and does not reflect intra abdominal pressure.
How are hydroceles diagnosed?
The diagnosis of a hydrocele is generally made clinically. An apt description of a hydrocele surrounding a palpable (something that can be felt) testis would be that of a small water balloon containing a peanut. The differences between communicating and non-communicating hydroceles described above help to support the suspected diagnosis.
A bedside test, transillumination, provides confirmation of the condition. Transillumination involves placing a small light source (commonly an otoscope - the medical device used to examine the ear) against the swollen scrotum. The fluid filled nature of the hydrocele side is distinctly different from the non-involved side of the scrotum. In rare cases either ultrasound or X-ray study of the region may be indicated. In unusual cases where a hydrocele may be a secondary phenomenon to pathologic cause (caused by disease), surgical exploration may be necessary to establish the diagnosis.
What is the treatment for hydroceles?
In 95% of congenital (present at birth) hydroceles, the natural history is one of gradual and complete resolution by one year of age. For those lasting longer than one year or for those non-communicating hydroceles that manifest after the first year, surgical repair is indicated since these rarely resolve spontaneously.

This XL 350TM is below my expectation,
This review is from: TomTom XL 350TM 4.3-Inch Portable GPS Navigator (Lifetime Traffic and Maps Edition)(Discontinued by Manufacturer) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I am a user of TomTom GPS for many years. I have models GO910 and GO730. I bought XL-350TM because of its life time traffic and map updates and my good experience with their GPS. This is a lower end model that doesn't have mp3, video, FM, blue tooth etc. That's ok. I have better devices for that. I just need GPS feature. However after playing it for awhile, I am quite disappointed. Here is why:
1) The touch screen is difficult to use. It's very sluggish and unresponsive. It is so frustrating to brows the map.
2) There is no text instruction of the planned route. So you don't know which freeway/highway you are going to take unless you brows the map, which is so difficult.
3) There is no "shortest route" selection as alternatives. I agree that most time "shortest route" is pretty stupid. But users need to get an idea on the shortest way and plan route around it to balance speed and distance.
4) There is no itineray features. You spend all the time to plan a route and cannot save and reuse it?
5) You cannot avoid an area, such as avoid the roads through New York.
6) You cannot save your own POI by categories.
7) searching POI doesn't return much. I would prefer to wait a few seconds more to cover larger area.
All these above features existed in the models that I use. In my view, this new device is only useful for those who just want to type in an address and follow the directions. Anyone who wants to do more than that, such as examine the route or plan a different one, it is difficult to use.
June 13, 2010
Returned the XL350TM today and checked other models in the store. The higher end model TomTom Go740 still has the functionalities above. Seems TomTom stripped too much in their lower end model. Checked some Garmin models. Overall, I still likes TomTom Go740 better.
I would like to find a GPS that can provide following. Not sure if there are any available on the market:
A) an option to display miles to the next "rest area" (or other POI, such as McDonalds) on the screen. Currently you can do a "Find...", but that requires working on GPS while driving, which is dangerous.
B) Warn user if it will be difficult to find gas stations ahead, such as before entering mountain area or desert.
C) An alternative route method that balance driving time and distance. The "fastest" route to an airport my GPS finded was 1 minute faster than another route, but needs to drive 10 more miles. One way is to let user input a prefered conversion ratio, something like "It's ok to drive 1 more minutes if that can save me 5 miles".

I have the XL335TM and can set POI alert. I have one set for 2.5 miles from a Rest Area on my route for example. I think there is an option to see the text route on the new models by selecting one of the status bar areas on the XL350

Bastian Schweinsteiger warned newly-crowned world champions Germany can dominate for years to come.
The Germany midfielder says their squad is the perfect age to ensure they emulate Spain's recent success by making sure the World Cup is just the beginning.
It could go down as the greatest World Cup of all time and Schweinsteiger insists that winning their first trophy will give this Germany squad the experience and hunger for more, starting with the Euro 2016 Championship.
"We are fit, we are hungry and we have some good players who are 25 years of age and around that age," said the Bayern Munich star.
"This will give us hunger, absolutely. We want to do it again at the next tournament. The important thing is that the young guys have the experience of this tournament.
"We will go to France in 2016 and try to do it again for sure. We have the experience now from what we have done here and that will help us. I think what happened before in South Africa at the last World Cup helped too.
"Every title is important. I'm happy that we won this title with the guys. Since the tournament was held in Germany in 2006, we always go as far as the semi final, finish third place or reach the final in 2008 but lose.
2014 World Cup Final in pictures:
"But now we have taken one step more and that is the most important thing for the whole of this squad.
"I think we have some players who have a big future and I think the Spain team and the Brazilian team changed a little bit. We believe we are now the No1 team in the world."
Schweinsteiger was a key part of Joachim Low's World Cup winning squad as they rose to their manager's pre-final challenge of creating history by becoming the first European team to win the trophy in South America.
Low also claimed they are good enough to go on and dominate for a generation and with the likes of Mesut Ozil, Thomas Muller and Toni Kroos all in their mid-20s they have a wonderful opportunity to build on their success.
But Schweinsteiger, who insisted he can play at the next World Cup when he will be 33, claimed the experienced players have also been crucial.
Schweinsteiger said: "The final was the same, we believed in ourselves and we said, 'Come on, guys. We have to do this. We have to take this chance.' We did it. This is a great feeling.
"We have quality players, but the most important thing is that we have the tradition in our game. We have the mentality of the Germans. We can run, we can make pressure, we can defend and the mix between this is the solution.
"We have a young team but we also have some players like Philipp Lahm, Mesut Ozil and Per Mertesacker who have the experience. This mix makes a big difference.
"We are the first European team to win the title in South America. I said to other people after the game that for me it has been special, the experience we have had here.
"We played the final for the Brazilians as well because we want to say thank you. We did it. I like the culture of the people. They are happy – not like the Germans sometimes!"
Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels also believes Germany's team has the potential to get better and even become the best squad for a generation.
Hummels added: "We have very good young players in Germany. Most of the team is about 25. I think we have six or seven of us who are born in 1988, so there's a big chance to stay successful in these next years, but of course it's just a chance, not a guarantee.
"I was only born in 1988. I only saw 20 years of German football. Maybe it's the best generation of the ones I have seen, but I can't say anything about 1974, 1982, 1986, 1990 because I didn't see them.
"We knew that this was a special team in 2009 when we won the European Under-21 Championship. If you see the names, there are something like ten players in the World Cup who played in that tournament. Six or seven of them are from Germany, the rest from other countries."

N.M. city wins appeal in lawsuit over crosses
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - A federal appeals court has rejected claims that using Christian crosses in city logos and buildings is unconstitutional.
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver affirmed a lower court decision to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Las Cruces residents Paul Weinbaum and Martin Boyd against the city, and another claim by Weinbaum against Las Cruces Public Schools.
Las Cruces, Spanish for "The Crosses," routinely uses three crosses in its city and school district logos.
In a 43-page opinion released last Friday, the appellate court acknowledged that use of such symbols raises legitimate constitutional concerns. But justices found the use of crosses "is not a religious statement" and is based on the city's unique name and history.
A U.S. district judge in Las Cruces dismissed both lawsuits in 2006, ruling that "a city may make use of images that have a religious connotation as long as the primary or principal effect is not to endorse religion."
El Paso attorney Brett Duke, representing Weinbaum and Boyd in their joint claim, would say only that he was reviewing the ruling.
Co-founder of Promise Keepers returns to fold
DENVER - Bill McCartney, the former college football coach who forged Promise Keepers into a formidable men's movement, has come out of retirement to lead the evangelical Christian group.
McCartney, 68, has returned as chief executive officer and chairman of the ministry he co-founded. McCartney replaces Tom Fortson, who resigned voluntarily, said Ed O'Brien, Promise Keepers general counsel. The announcement was made last week.
Promise Keepers has struggled to find an identity since its heyday in the mid-1990s. In 1996, the group drew 1.1 million men to 22 stadium conferences; 10 years later, 18 conferences attracted some 132,000.
Tax forms also show steadily declining gifts, grants and contributions to the Denver-based group - from $15 million in 2002 to $9 million in 2005, the most recent year for which figures are available.
Cleveland Catholic parishes protest
CLEVELAND - A downsizing plan that could shutter more than 45 Roman Catholic parishes in the Diocese of Cleveland is prompting some Catholics to look for ways to save their churches.
More than 20 regional groups of parishes are preparing recommendations for closing or merging parishes in response to population shifts to the outer suburbs and the ongoing clergy shortage. Bishop Richard Lennon is expected to decide the fate of the parishes by March. The most closures are expected in Cleveland, where about 25 parishes are in danger of being shut down.
An increasing number of parishes have decided to fight to stay open.
European Mormons hope to add members
FRANKFURT, Germany - The Mormon church has consolidated its European headquarters to Germany as it undertakes a bid to increase its membership across the continent.
More than half the members of the Salt Lake City-based church live outside the U.S., with about 450,000 members living in Europe.
The new senior church leader is Robert C. Oaks.,

Can we find pairs $(x,y)$ of positive integers such that $x^2+3y$ and $y^2+3x$ are simultaneously perfect squares? Thanks a lot in advance. My progress is minimal.
Not a complete solution but an approach that seems like it will work.
Assume $y \gt x$
Then we have that
$(y+2)^2 \gt y^2 + 3y \gt y^2+3x \gt y^2$
If $y^2 + 3x$ was a perfect square, then we have that $y^2 + 3x = (y+1)^2$.
This gives us $3x = 2y+1$.
Substitute in the other expression, and form similar inequalities. This will narrow down to few small cases to consider.
The other case $y=x$ can be treated similarly.

I have not had any swelling, headaches, seeing spots NOTHING my entire pregnancy. I'm 38 weeks today.
Every visit my BP has been "perfect" but yesterday my feet began to swell to enourmous proportions and I got a headache and at one point saw a few "floaters". So, this morning I went up to the drug strore and checked my BP it was 139/100. Is this high? Should I call the Dr.?
I know that some swelling and even headaches are normal near the end and as far as seeing the spots it was literally only a minute and didn't happen again and today the headache isn't completely gone but is better. So I didn't want to call for nothing. What's "normal"?

This paper will focus on a review of the challenges and opportunities for Water Manage-ment and Disaster Risk Reduction in post disaster environments in lower middle Income Countries . The review will draw on grass roots experience from both Indonesia and Philippines.
The paper will outline the cost effectiveness of proactive strategies that consider disaster risk reduction as an integrated component of water management (as strongly indicated in AusAID policy for DRR.)
From Indonesia the reviewed will focus on how SurfAid International has cut into a niche corporate sector to attract funds to support social and environmental services in post dis-aster environments. The paper will look at three programs implemented in parallel by SurfAid International building health wellbeing and self-reliance of remote island communi-ties. Efforts from IWRM projects in Davao will also be consider and how they have pro-duced unintended, but welcome, outcomes in build the resilience of upland communities. Opportunities for better integration between water management and DRR will then be pre-sented.
The Symposium main theme which aims "to identify business opportunities for water sec-tor to integrate into an expanding environmental services industries" will be tackled by looking at the challenges in funding and sustaining funding for water management in post disaster environments. We will review the increasing role of the philanthropy in supporting recovery from disasters and the need to shift from responsive to proactive strategies for disaster management. The paper will present how water management and DRR strategies are both compatible and necessary to enable sustainable development, particularly in dis-aster prone SE Asia.
Finally the paper will apply these lessons and project a vision of how HELP Basins could become a local catalyst, creating a demand for water knowledge services that guides wa-ter actors to be proactive in engage a full spectrum of stakeholders for a truly diversified water business environment that is focus on social, economic and environment outcomes.

My mini fridge has full power, but I come home after a couple of days to find that the compressor has shut off and everything has defrosted and the fridge isn't cold anymore. I can turn the knob and in about 15 minutes it's back to ice cold. Does anyone know whey this keeps happening? I don't want to just toss it if it's something I can easily correct.
Check that the cooling coils are clean and dust free. vacuum if needed. If the coils are dirty and unable to release heat it may make the compressor over heat. Or if it has a reset switch the power will be cut out before it reaches critical temperature.
It is probably a bad thermostat.
A thermostat can be tested by shunting it. Wait until the problem occurs, then connect the two wires that go into the thermostat. If the compressor goes on, it means the thermostat is bad and should be replaced. The thermostat is inside a box attached to the back. It looks like this:
Alternatively, it may be inside the fridge itself if the fridge is larger.

Business Planning in an Uncertain Economy (half-day seminar)
The external environment of a business is hard to predict: what will the economy do, how will technology change, what impact will new laws have on business? The solution is not to give up on planning, but to incorporate a flexible stance in the company's strategic and operational plans. Dr. Bill Conerly helps participants draw upon their own expertise and experience to learn the keys to developing plans that will enhance growth while also protecting companies against downside risks. This half-day program works with small groups or with large audiences so long as the seating arrangement allows discussion within six-person groups.
The Next Decade: What Businesses Should Do TODAY to Prepare for Tomorrow
Dr. Bill Conerly is an expert on what business leaders should do right now to create a more profitable business future. Bill looks at the big changes we can expect in the next decade – demographics, globalization, finance, and technology – avoiding speculation as much as possible. Instead, he relies on business history, current trends and comprehensive research to make his forecasts. At every step he connects future scenarios with action plans that leaders should put in place now. Specifics are adjusted for the particular audience.
America's Energy Future: Old Lessons Re-Learned
Dr. Bill Conerly predicted 2014's oil price drop a year and a half before it happened—receiving scornful comments at the time. He now presents his framework for looking at energy markets and his latest forecast, and he will tell diesel and gasoline users whether to convert to natural gas. Dr. Conerly began his career with a Fortune 500 user of oil, then shifted to a Fortune 500 producer of coal, oil and gas. He later turned his attention to helping business leaders in many different industries understand the impacts of the changing economy. He always speaks with his well-known sense of humor.
Freedom and Prosperity: The Case for Optimism
In this substantive and inspiring keynote, Bill explains the mechanism for economic growth around the world. Drawing insights from Nobel economists, historians and modern commentators, Bill connects economic and political freedom with economic performance. He ends with a surprising burst of optimism about the fate of the world over the coming decades. He illustrates it all using a few statistics and many stories.
Keynote or Workshop? Most of these topics can be conducted either as a keynote to a large audience or as a workshop for a smaller group.
Motivational Speaker? People use this label in different ways, so here's the data: Bill always has strong content, emphasizing actionable ideas that corporate executives and small business owners can implement immediately. His short-term economic forecast is sometimes optimistic, sometimes pessimistic, but he always expresses his long-run vision of a world growing in prosperity and freedom.
The Package
Included at no extra charge are the following items:
• Promotional video: To promote attendance and enthusiasm, I can produce a 60-second video to help sell the conference. Examples are at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJD7tcSCob8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oh5fGOSo68
• Customization of the presentation: I will talk to leaders of your organization to learn about the topics that most concern the audience members and adjust the presentation accordingly. I emphasize topics within my normal range of "keeping up," such as consumer spending, interest rates, export markets, etc.
• Panel moderation: a great way to continue Bill's work connecting the dots between the economy and business decisions is to follow his presentation with a panel that Bill moderates. You might bring in a CFO, CMO, COO, and HR director, and have Bill ask questions about how his economic outlook impacts decisions in their areas.
• Network with attendees: schedule permitting, I will attend receptions and other networking opportunities at your meeting so that your attendees can ask one-on-one questions. I'll also learn more about their interests and concerns.
• Conversation with management teams: after my presentation, I can meet informally with your management team or board of directors so that they may ask in-depth questions. (No extra fee if scheduled in advance for the same day as the main presentation.)
• Monthly newsletter: to keep economic issues alive, I will grant a free 12-month license for my monthly newsletter. You may insert my newsletter into your own communication vehicle, email it to employees or clients, or I can email it out as requested by meeting attendees.
Additional services:
• Custom research: when a client wants detail that I do not routinely keep up on, I will research the area for a negotiated fee. I can usually come up to speed fairly quickly on a wide range of economics-related topics. In the past, I have done this for specific foreign countries and state economies. I will decline topics too far afield from my regular work.
• Multiple presentations: When you want my speech presented multiple times, we can negotiate a quantity discount. For example, when the client's markets are one or two hours apart, I could do a breakfast presentation in one place, a lunch meeting at another, and an afternoon reception at a third. Fees are negotiated depending on topic variety and location.
• Board/Management retreats: In addition to a presentation, I can attend your entire planning retreat. I'll offer up insights and ask questions throughout the entire time, or upon request from the leader. Often a team benefits from having an outsider raise issues and ask questions.

Greetings from innovation-land
Andrew Taylor
Monday, February 6, 2012
Foundations and other funders seeking to promote innovation in cultural organizations tend to wrestle with two main problems. One, of course, is to find and foster innovative practice in an industry that's often just barely treading water. The other is to share those innovations beyond the inner circle of the project participants. Published reports are long and dry and often go unread. Conference presentations or workshops about the innovations are expensive in both time and money, and reach only a limited audience.
Which is why I rather like the idea of the audio postcard, short little stories of arts innovations, told by the people who made them happen.
EmcArts has
posted 16 such audio postcards
on its ArtsFwd website, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. Each offers short narratives about a different Cultural Innovation Fund project from 2011, with a slide show for flavor and flair.
I'm not sure why the media files aren't embeddable — making them even more easy to share (I can only link to the website, not post a postcard directly on this blog, for example). But it's an innovative idea for spreading good ideas in quick and easy chunks.
Wish you were here.

Waxman-Markey climate bill taken off the fast track by House leaders
"It doesn't have to be this month," Waxman said. "It could be July. But July is going to be awfully crowded with health care. We've got to get the bills to the floor and passed by the end of July. And that's our goal. Both climate and health care."
So says House Energy and Commerce Chair Henry Waxman (D-CA) about his big climate bill in today's E&E News (subs. req'd).
While the House leadership definitely had been putting out the word that energy and climate legislation was on the fast track (see here), Pelosi appears to have reconsidered after meeting with key committee chairs, as E&E News PM (subs. req'd) reported last night.
Indeed, today we learned that the bill has a long way to go to get to the floor. First, there's Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.):
Rangel confirmed his intention to formally mark up the climate bill, rather than simply offer amendments on the floor or sign off completely on the measure. "We are going to have a real, true markup," he told reporters. "It is in our jurisdiction, we owe it to the committee, and to the Congress to have a markup and to get on the floor and explain what we have done."
Then we have the Aggies:
Rep. Earl Pomeroy (D-N.D.), who sits on both the Agriculture and Ways and Means committees, suggested that the entire legislative process could be slowed until Democratic leaders deal with the farm state lawmakers. And the Agriculture Committee members cannot move forward until they resolve their concerns with biofuels and U.S. EPA, Pomeroy said.
The good news is, she remains optimistic, which suggest the bill will get approved by the House this summer:
Speaking with reporters in the Capitol, Pelosi said she saw no significant hurdles to moving the climate bill approved last month by the Energy and Commerce Committee.
"I'm optimistic we'll be able to move forward in a timely fashion so that our legislation will pass the House and send a clear message about Copenhagen," Pelosi said, referring to U.N. negotiations this December on an international climate treaty. "But I'm not putting any deadlines on it. It'll go to the floor when we are ready. They will pass bills out of their committees when they are ready."
"I'll leave it up to the chairmen to talk about their plans and how they're moving to the floor, having their own discussions in marking up the bill," she said.
Well, Copenhagen is in December, so that is a big walk back timing-wise. Also, the buzz had been that committees might not have to pass the bill out, but merely work with House Energy and Commerce Chair Henry Waxman (D-CA) on a manager's amendment that contained agreed-upon changes.
If the bill actually has to be voted on Agriculture or Ways and Means, the process will slow down sharply. Still, key players are still floating the possibility of a house vote at the end of June:
Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), a lead co-author of the climate legislation, confirmed today that Democrats are still weighing a fast-paced schedule that would lead to floor debate before the Fourth of July recess — all while juggling health care. "Could be," Waxman said. "Late June. Early July."
Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), the co-sponsor of H.R. 2454, said he would remain an active player with Peterson and Rangel as the debate advances.
"The bill that Chairman Waxman and I constructed is the central vehicle," Markey told reporters. "But all of these other committees have very important roles to play. Ways and Means and Agriculture are at the top of the list. We will have to work closely with the committees to produce legislation that reflects the consensus that has to be produced in order to move something of this historic magnitude."
I think the smart money is now drifting towards a House vote after the 4th of July, since the House recesses from June 29 to July 3 (full 2009 House calendar here). But the summer recess start August 3, and that doesn't leave a lot of time to handle that other important complicated piece of legislation — health care:
Democratic leaders also pushed back against questions that Congress and the Obama administration cannot deal in tandem with energy and climate change. "The president has been unrelenting in his support on climate change moving, as he has been on health care," Markey said. "These are priorities 1 and 1a for both the speaker and the president."
"There's time for both if we set our minds to it," Baucus added. "Where there's a will, there's a way."
Obama plans an aggressive push for his health care reform package later this week, prompting a question during today's White House press briefing if the president would do the same on global warming.
"Well, cap and trade seems ahead of health care at the moment," Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs replied. "I think that you've heard the president not just throughout his few months here at the White House, but throughout the campaign talk passionately about both issues. And I think we continue to be heartened by progress that's being made in Congress to address how to make ourselves more energy independent and protect our planet, and how do we drive down the costs for families and small businesses struggling with the rising cost of health care."

More on the climate bill: http://www.farmpolicy.com/?p=1187
The ever-present WW II metaphor is inescapable – in this case a line from Ernest Hemingway's pre-war essay, "Notes on the Next War": "Not this August, nor this September, but soon, very soon."
And to complete the metaphor sweep the question is whether W-M is now the equivalent of the weak Civil Rights Act of 1957 or the 1963 bill that has never really been fundamentally changed?
And, Joe, your voice dictation strikes again as you have a "houseboat" in the middle of the post when you meant "house vote"
"Earlier this year, Pelosi said she was not involved in the day-to-day happenings on the controversial bill. But now that it has cleared the Energy and Commerce Committee, Pelosi is on a mission to get the climate change bill — her flagship issue — to the House floor.

More on the climate bill: http://www.farmpolicy.com/?p=1187
In their letter, the agricultural groups again stated that USDA should be granted control over administration of any carbon offset programs for agriculture and forestry, rather than have such programs managed by the EPA. Any carbon program for agriculture should also recognize 'early actors' who have worked to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions or sequester carbon."
Very interesting. The EPA wants to get the USDA out of the way.
Post poning the bill may give a few time to actually read it one time?
It hit me as nasty in that some farmer in Brazil and get carbon offsets but not so in america.
A farmer can get a tax from the epa for using farm equipment but his corn producing 1 ton of O2 per acre is not elgible for an offset. These farmers are highly educated. They wil tell their democrat Representatives about this. July 4 picnic time.
Thisi is about power
Thanks ecostew for the link.
The Arctic will be ice free in the summer by 2015. This may be the last chance to get a "controlled" sampling of how the influenza ecology among migrating birds functions. No time for delays.
"The Arctic will be ice free in the summer by 2015. "
What stakes are you wagering on this? So much faith put into computer models (that haven't been able to predict temperature trends even after only 9 years or whatever since IPCC AR4). I'd maybe give you even odds on ice-free or not, as many scientists have postulated that the earth is headed into 30 years of cooling. So some computer models say one thing, and other analyses say another. Who knows what will really happen? If cap-and-trade passes, but we enter a cooling phase anyway, do I get a refund?
I'll bet my share of Chrysler. Rather own Zenn anyway.
One more prediction – One Wealthy Conservative will buy one Socialist Rag like the NY Times or the LA Times or USA Today, as they are all struggling and headed towards extinction and can be had cheap. This new Paper will prosper – as has FOX NEWS – for about 5-7 years at a huge cost to rest of the libby new media, before all the printed papers find their natural ending and are only posted on-line.
This will save trees, but that is pointless, trees have NEVER been in danger. As paper industries have always re-planted and have increased their recycle practices exponentially over the last 50 years. Asking for a plastic bag at the grocery store – sort of pointless.
Final comment: I love the Earth, the lunatics that claim to represent it's interests, ignore facts, misrepresnt facts, and move goal posts out of hubris (or at lower levels, from ignorance), and continue to miss the real issues where we could and should have impact.

It was located close enough to the University of Illinois which was perfect for our stay. It was great for kids because of the huge warm pool and the included breakfast buffet. I wish they included a soda ticket for kids along with the drink tickets for adults.

Petros Giannakouris, Associated Press
SIMIZA, Greece — In the olive groves around Ancient Olympia, sanctuary of the Greek gods, the trees were once considered sacred, and in many ways they still are.
Carefully pruned and pampered, they are described by farmers with a reverence that could match the language used by makers of champagne or single malt whisky.
So plans to extend a brutal efficiency drive to olive oil production have been met with anger and disbelief. If proposals from a government funded study are adopted, olive oil blended with cheaper vegetable oils will soon go on sale as part of an effort to modernize Greece's economy, which was rescued from near bankruptcy four years ago.
One pro-government lawmaker called the proposal a "cause of war," while olive producers in the fabled hills of the southern Peloponnese region worry that Greece could spoil its own signature product.
Illegal under current Greek law, the new product would need to prominently carry the label: "blended olive oil." EU law does not prohibit blends, which are sometimes used in canned food, including in Spain, the world's largest olive oil producer.
"Greece would lose its monopoly on quality," olive grower Aris Kolotouros said. "It would create a faceless product."
Kolotouros, 38, studied plant science in Italy before returning to look after the olive trees planted by his grandfather 80 years ago.
His 3,000-tree grove lies in Greece's olive belt that stretches from north of Olympia — home of the original Olympic games — southward past the city of Kalamata, nestling among ancient temples and mountains that were the landmarks of Greek mythology.
Mountain villages in this area didn't have electricity until the early 1970s, and older residents still remember operating horse-powered stone mills to crush olives.
"I don't agree with this proposal because our effort is based on a quality product," Kolotouros said, standing next to an enormous pile of pruned olive branches.
"This is our legacy."
Greece is the world's No.3 olive oil producer but has been losing ground to leaders Spain and Italy where farmland is flatter and increasingly mechanized.
The government commissioned the efficiency study from the Paris-based Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, and it came back with a 328-page report of detailed recommendations to change regulations for commonly used products — from books to milk.
It's part of a relentless campaign to slash spending and boost competitiveness that has seen wages and benefits cut severely in a struggle to deal with decades of accumulated debt.
Olive oil, the OECD recommended, should be made available for retail in larger containers, while cheaper blends should be allowed for frying and for use by low-income families.
"I'm against the idea, because olive oil is totally different from other oils and it's good for you. So I don't really see the reason," said Anna Chrysafidou, 50, who runs a small grocery store in central Athens, selling olive oil from Crete and products made by small producers.
"It's hard to say if consumers would go for it. Some people just buy what's on the shelf, others check. And it would depend on how it was marketed. Maybe they'd present it as some great new product."
Despite six years of recession, Greeks still consume more olive oil per capita than anyone else on earth, a staggering 18 liters (4 gallons) per person each year, using up two-thirds of domestic production that averages an annual 300,000 tons, or 10 percent of the global total.

One popular proof is to take $\sin{y} = x$ and then differentiate on both sides. But how do you prove it from first principles? Help very much appreciated.
Is this cheating? We want the limit as $h$ approaches $0$ of $\frac{\arcsin h-0}{h}$. Let $w=\arcsin h$. So we are interested in the limit of $\frac{w}{\sin w}$ as $w$ approaches $0$. Upside down, but familiar!
Now we know the derivative at $0$. We can get the derivative at $x$ by using the $\arcsin$ version of the addition law for sines.
We may define $\displaystyle\sin^{-1} x$ as $\displaystyle\int^x_0 \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}dt$. Then by differentiating both sides, we get that $\displaystyle(\sin^{-1}x)'=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}.$

The relation between cognitive and motor functions in Parkinson's disease is not fully understood. In an incidence population of newly diagnosed drug naïve patients with Parkinson's disease, associations were found between the degree of bradykinesia and postural instability and gait disturbances, measured by the Unified Disease Rating Scale, and different types of cognitive functions. To investigate the stability of these associations over time, we explored the association of differences between baseline and 1-year follow-up in 91 incident cases with Parkinson's disease. The magnitude of change between the two assessments was assessed together with analysis of differences based on which dopaminergic medication was used. Change in bradykinesia was associated with change in working memory and mental flexibility. Changes in postural instability and gait disturbances were associated with change in visuospatial memory. A negative effect of the dopamine agonist pramipexole on phonemic fluency performance was found compared to treatment with other dopaminergic drugs. Change in cognitive and motor functions were associated from time of diagnosis until 1 year after diagnosis. These persisting findings strengthen results from a previous cross-sectional study suggesting similar associations. The effects of dopamine agonists on phonemic fluency should be investigated further.

Every Monday morning, I come into the office with a giant load of groceries. I keep the kitchen at work and my desk fully stocked with food. I try to keep up, but I am constantly hungry. I eat all day long--constantly making trips to and from the kitchen. I also workout twice a day, most days of the week and my Saturday long workouts usually burn upwards of 4000 calories.
I wasn't able to increased my training volume without a complementary caloric increase. Active Expert Matt Fitzgerald's latest article, The Starving Runner. explains this delicate balance of fueling and training. More importantly, he mentions the importance of timing which is something I now realize is equally as important. Does anyone have advice to lend me and the rest of the community for timing meals while meeting nutritional requirements for increased athletic performance? I think we can all benefit from your experiences so please share--thanks for your participation!

I have a source file in my project, which has more than 65,536 code lines (112,444 to be exact). I'm using an "sqlite amalgamation", which comes in a single huge source file.
I'm using MSVC 2005. The problems arrives during debugging. Everything compiles and links ok. But then when I'm trying to step into a function with the debugger - it shows an incorrect code line.
What's interesting is that the difference between the correct line number and the one the debugger shows is exactly 65536. This makes me suspect (almost be sure in) some unsigned short overflow.
I also suspect that it's not a bug in the MSVC itself. Perhaps it's the limitation of the debug information format. That is, the debug information format used by MSVC stores the line numbers as 2-byte shorts.
Is there anything can be done about this (apart from cutting the huge file into several smaller ones) ?

Comment Trollish fun (Score 1) 1565
One has the realize that Slashdot polls, comments, and articles are not a reflecting of the rest of the geek community as a whole. Linux and open-source is a fairly prominent topic within Slashdot, but most geeks as a whole outside the community are rarely concerned with Linux. In other words, Slashdot is not representative of the geek community. I work at a large software company in California with most employees in their 20s, and I do not recall anybody claiming to be a libertarian there. While I am sure there is somebody at the company who considers oneself a libertarian, I would have expected to have encountered a libertarian by now at work based upon this trollish question.
Oddly, the poll results seem odd when most of the outspoken opinions lean more liberal than libertarian within the Slashdot community in my opinion.

Category: baby name Violet
By Abby Sandel, Appellation Mountain
Welcome to a bumper crop of nicely-named starbabies!
This week's celebrity baby names news proves that there's more than one way to choose a great name, whether you're welcoming your first child or your fourth.
Two place names, at least three family names, a vintage gem, a Biblical boy, some daring middles, and a bunch of modern favorites all made headlines last week. There's creativity but also a sense of tradition in these names. It's a balance that many parents try to find.
By Abby Sandel, AppellationMountain
I know that Hollywood isn't one great big playdate, with A-list moms and reality starlets alike pushing their designer strollers through the park together. There's no reason to think that Blue Ivy Carter and Tennessee Toth will attend the same preschool, or that Tori Spelling and Angelina Jolie are trading tips on managing big families.
Which is a long way of saying that of course sometimes one set of high-profile parents will choose the same name that some other headline-worthy couple chose.
To spectators, those repeats can seem significant. Tabloids accuse Blake Lively of stealing a Garner-Affleck baby name. We declare names The Next Big Thing if it pops up on lots of celeb birth announcements.
For fifty years, Charlie Brown and his team of usual suspects made us laugh and learn life lessons. The last official episode of the Peanuts comic-strip appeared fourteen years ago this February. Gone but not forgotten, we're honoring its memory with a survey of Peanuts' most notable names. And while adorable pet names Woodstock and Snoopy will probably never translate into the baby-name scene, there are plenty of interesting choices you may have not expected, drawn from the real life of artist and creator Charles M. Schulz.
Charlie – It's only fitting that the lovable, friendly four-year-old who stole hearts with his catchphrase "Good grief"! has the friendliest boy name. A diminutive of the German Charles, there have been lots of pop-culture Charlies over the years, from Charlie Chaplin to Charlie's Angels, though none of them cuter than the Peanuts' protagonist.
