Nick's Friday Round-Up: Angry A.D.D. Edition
Mmmm, I sure hope those pizza-shaped marshmallows taste as good as they look!
I don't know how I'm suppose to follow-up Lisa's post from yesterday with some crappy Friday Round-Up, but here we go.
In relation to the opening picture. CEREAL IS AWESOME! I LOVE CEREAL! One thing that makes me sad about cereal nowadays is the fact that they never put good prizes in them anymore. What the heck?!? I remember when you could buy a box of cereal, and get a full-sized Ninja Turtle as a prize inside! (that previous statement may be slightly exaggerated for emphasis) /mini-rant Cereal boxes have changed their marketing over the years to appeal to a different generation of kids. Here are 15 examples of how cereal boxes have changed over time. [buzzfeed]
We've become very familiar with how some of the biggest websites look. Usually they're clean and stream-lined and can go 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Unless you're on dial-up, in which case, I pity you. Let us take a quick trip back in time to see how websites such as Google and Youtube looked like when they first launched, shall we? [mashable]
This right here will be the only thing I post, related to Single's Awareness Day. I will spare you all from a Nick Rant about how ridiculous I think this day is. So yeah... here are 35 geeky Valentine's Day cards. [gammasquad]
Apparently the Super Bowl Half Time Show was a secret ode to Skyrim
Looking back to last Sunday and the Super Bowl halftime show. SRSLY?? C'mon... SRSLY? When will the people in charge of finding these performers realize that they are making horrible choices. The only person not lip syncing was Cee Lo. Who actually thought that having Madonna do the HT show was a good idea? UGH! /mini rant. There are only a couple halftime shows that I consider to be awesome. SB XXXVII with No Doubt, and SB XXVII with Michael Jackson. SB XXXV with Aerosmith wasn't too bad either. I got to thinking who would be an amazing person to play the halftime show? Strangely enough I then found this article. BRILLIANT! Why Weird Al should play the Super Bowl. [gammasquad]
Back to the Future. One of the best trilogy's to ever grace the silver screen, but what about the stage? There's a possibility of BTTF becoming a stage musical. [blastr]
With the sponsorship of Red Bull, a man attempts to break the sound barrier without any vehicle, only his body, by jumping from a height of 22 miles. It makes all the sense in the world! Let's do a skydive, in a space suit, from just under the ozone layer so as to not burst into flames, and try to break the sound barrier with my body, because, hey, SCREW YOU TERMINAL VELOCITY! [geekologie]
What happens when two of the best video games from completely different time periods collide? A MASS EXPLOSION OF AWESOME! Skyrim, meet Portal 2. Portal 2, Skyrim. That's right folks, not only did Skyrim officially release their mod tools with a bonus Portal 2 mod, BUT hidden within these releases are hints to either a Portal 2 related quest, or a future Portal 2 related quest. Seriously, my brain can't handle this. [geekosystem]
This kid decided to say "Screw you!" to his DNA encoded fear of falling. Then he decides to do parkour from the edge of the roof of a 20 story building, and the arm of a massive crane. My legs were shaking just watching this guy. You know... that feeling you get in your legs when you get too close to the edge of a high place? Yeah, that feeling. [dailywhat]
Here are 25 animals who think they're people. [buzzfeed]
There are very few shows that can literally make me laugh out loud during nearly every episode. Even fewer that make me laugh so hard I can't breathe. A few examples are Home Improvement, Psych, Friends, The Big Bang Theory, and the newest addition, New Girl. New Girl has made me laugh more in just the last 2 episodes, than I have at any show in a long time. As of 2 weeks ago, New Girl had one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen from any show ever in the history of television. If you disagree, your argument will be marked as invalid on the basis of "your sense of humor is broken, and may God have mercy on your soul." Here is the scene I speak of. I warn you now to put down any food or drink you may be consuming at the moment. [youtube]

Connecticut has the highest percentage of urban tree cover in the 48 contiguous states. The study from the US Department of Agriculture's Forest Service also shows that Connecticut ranked first in urban/community areas. So, don't be surprised by pictures of downed trees in Connecticut in the Hurricane Sandy photo gallery below, or the thumbnail picture above. One note: Connecticut wasn't always this forested. Nearly 75% of the original forest was cleared for agriculture, first by Native Americans, later by European settlers.

The lanterns are simple sculptural volumes that change in form and function from season to season. The screens are made of latticed white cedar and translucent polycarbonate.
When we called Lisa Gray, AIA, and Alan Organschi to talk about their Rising Star award, it took a while for the married couple to start discussing their current work. There were so many tangential topics to touch on, from the relationship between building design and the matriarchal social structure in Indonesia's Sumatra, where Gray spent seven months on a Fulbright scholarship after graduating from Yale School of Architecture in 1987, to the impact of urbanization on the craft tradition there. Organschi talked about the late Italian architect Giovanni Michelucci's expressive Church of the Autostrada, a monument to the workers who built the highway through the mountains connecting Milan and Naples.
As co-editor in the late 1980s of Perspecta: The Yale Architectural Journal, Organschi had interviewed Michelucci and invited to him to lecture at the school. With postmodernism in full swing, he recalls, architecture was about image and iconography, not the technology of assembling buildings. "In his book Contradiction and Complexity in Architecture, Robert Venturi had denigrated Michelucci's church—he said it was too picturesque," Organschi says. "But in a later edition, he added a footnote that he'd visited the building, and that it was actually incredible. That encapsulated everything we were trying to comment on at that moment. Architects were so preoccupied with the representation of architecture that they were willing to stake their critique on pictures rather than experiencing it."

What does this have to do with a 17-year-old firm in New Haven, Conn.? A lot, as it turns out. Gray and Organschi, New England natives who met at Yale, are obsessed with the relationship between design ideas and how they are executed, often combining detailed hand work with building-scale fabrication processes that let them reinvent what architecture can be, and how it might go together. Their make-it-happen methodology gives their work its unique character. It also suits the times we live in, freeing them from some of the conventions that bog down building and opening the door to tight budgets and delicate sites.
But these techniques are just a means to an end. The pair is less interested in expressing craftsmanship, technology, or structure than in how planes and forms interact with light and the landscape, and do so with the quietest moves. In fact, they don't use the word craft. "When Alan and I opened our firm, we were very attracted to the idea of building things really well and thoughtfully, but not in an intentionally one-off way," says Gray, who also oversees Gray Design, the firm's interior design arm. "Over time we became more interested in the ability to preplan and prefabricate to create something unique but replicable."
Building has always been Gray Organschi's ethical and creative center. Organschi put himself through school doing carpentry and making furniture. Building at a small scale, he was fascinated by all the steps that can compromise design. "It's hard to muster all the economic, political, social, and manpower forces to create a building with a really good idea behind it," says Organschi, who teaches a housing studio at Yale. "It's not like being a painter with a paintbrush. You're shooting for this high level of energy that conveys the goals, whatever they are." Occupying the street level of the firm's three-story former warehouse is Jig Designbuild, an offshoot fabrication and construction company. The six architects working on the upper floors aren't just drawing pictures; they're going into the workshop to design the assembly systems, though CNC milling and other production work usually is outsourced.

A colposcopy is a special way of looking at the cervix. It uses a light and a low-powered microscope to make the cervix appear much larger. This helps your health care provider find and then biopsy abnormal areas in your cervix.
Biopsy - colposcopy - directed; Biopsy - cervix - colposcopy; Endocervical curettage; ECC; Cervical punch biopsy; Biopsy - cervical punch; Cervical biopsy
You will lie on a table and place your feet in stirrups, just like you would do for a pelvic exam. The health care provider will place an instrument (called a speculum) into your vagina . This allows your doctor or nurse to better see the cervix.
The cervix and vagina are gently swabbed with a vinegar or iodine solution. This removes the mucus that covers the surface and highlights abnormal areas.
The health care provider will place the colposcope at the opening of the vagina and examine the area. Photographs may be taken. The colposcope does not touch you.
If any areas look abnormal, a small sample of the tissue will be removed using small biopsy tools. Many samples may be taken. Sometimes a tissue sample from inside the cervix is removed. This is called endocervical curettage (ECC).
There is no special preparation. You may be more comfortable if you empty your bladder and bowel before the procedure.
Before the exam:
This test should not be done during a heavy period, unless it is abnormal. Keep your appointment if you are:
You may be able to take ibuprofen or acetaminophen (Tylenol) before the colposcopy. Ask your doctor or nurse if this is okay, and when and how much you should take.
You may have some discomfort when the speculum is placed inside the vagina. It may more uncomfortable than a regular Pap smear .
Some women may hold their breath during pelvic procedures because they expect pain. Slow, regular breathing will help you relax and relieve pain. Ask your doctor or nurse about bringing a support person with you if that will help.
You may have some bleeding after the biopsy, for up to 1 week.
Colposcopy is done to detect cervical cancer and changes that may lead to cervical cancer.
It is most often done when you have had an abnormal Pap smear. It may also be recommended if you have bleeding after sexual intercourse.
Colposcopy may also be done when your health care provider sees abnormal areas on your cervix during a pelvic exam. These may include:
The colposcopy may be used to keep track of HPV, and to look for abnormal changes that can come back after treatment.
Your doctor should be able to tell you if anything abnormal was seen during this test. A smooth, pink surface of the cervix is normal.
If the colposcopy or biopsy does not show why the Pap smear was abnormal, your health care provider may suggest that you have a cold knife cone biopsy.
A specialist called a pathologist will examine the tissue sample from the cervical biopsy and send a report to your doctor. Biopsy results most often take 1 - 2 weeks. A normal result means there is no cancer and no abnormal changes were seen.
Your doctor should be able to tell you if anything abnormal was seen during the test, including:
Abnormal biopsy results may be due to changes that can lead to cervical cancer. These changes are called dysplasia, or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).
Abnormal biopsy results may be due to:
If the biopsy does not determine the cause of abnormal results, you may need a procedure called a cold knife cone biopsy.
After the biopsy, you may have some bleeding for up to a week. You may have mild cramping, your vagina may feel sore, and you may have a dark discharge for 1 - 3 days.
A colposcopy and biopsy will not make it more difficult for you to become pregnant, or cause problems during pregnancy.

Mentor held its 12th Integrated Electronics Solutions Forum (IESF) in Dearborn, Michigan on Thursday. It was very well attended, with over 500 visitors representing automotive OEMs, tier 1s, and a range of services and support organizations. There was a real sense that some of the business drivers and values in the automotive world have changed for ever – it is hard to imagine now that car makers have in the past proudly declared their automotive fuel consumption figures at less than 10 mpg, and cars weighing in at over 5000 lbs. The new badges of honour are those of safety, economy, planet-friendly, and low cost. With the change in approach to design and materials, software has become a massive component in a modern vehicle. The concepts of virtual prototyping have become mainstream as highlighted in the keynote speech by Dr Mircea Gradu from the Chrysler Group Powertrain division. Virtual Prototypes allow design wrinkles to be identified earlier in the design life-cycle, and engineers can begin integration activities sooner rather than later. The second keynote speaker, Dr Cole from the Center of Automotive Research, picked up on the fact that building cars was now a very diverse, multi-disciplined activity. In the past the design process was dominated by mechanical engineers, but now software engineers, computer scientists, and process engineers, and many others are as important. The continuous challenge of integrating teams, tools and processes has not gone away, and it is reported by Peugeot Citroen (PSA) that this remains the real holy grail. Car maker want fewer process automation tools, rather than more, but they all need to communicate with each other, and share common data.
This year at IESF, seven parallel "expert tracks" were established, covering a wide range of automotive topics : Wire Harness Design, Manufacturing Process, AUTOSAR, Vehicle Network Design, Embedded Software, Thermal Analysis, and Automotive Data Management. The anticipated rapid adoption of AUTOSAR was picked out in the keynote speech of Mentor CEO Wally Rhines as a key area to watch, Today just 2% of vehicle Electronic Control Units (ECUs) are AUTOSAR based, but this is expected to be 25% by 2015, as more and more vendors standardize on AUTOSAR as a way to define the interface between the software function of the ECU, and hardware platform runs on.
The Embedded Track featured several new and existing technology areas. The GENIVI Executive Director Steve Crumb highlighted the role that the GENIVI standard platform for Infotainment systems is now playing, and that the first production units based on GENIVI-compliant Linux platforms should be driving round within 12 months. GENIVI has established an ambitious roadmap of new functionality reaching out over the coming years, and as more features are added, the research and development costs of infotainment platforms should fall. The flexibility offered by Embedded Virtual Platforms was highlighted by Karry Kleeman of Open Kernel Labs – this will offer the ability to combine multiple operating systems, such as Linux, Android, RTOS/OSEK, on a single hardware platform. Freescale and Mentor have solutions endorsing this approach and are seeing strong interest from prospective adopters.
On the software side, Jim Zemlin, Executive Director of the Linux Foundation, spoke about the massive role that the Linux operating system plays in the world already, and this is set to grow in automotive. Every day, over 800,000 new Linux-based mobile phone handsets are registered, 90% of the Wall Street's financial transactions occur on Linux servers, and we now see massive growth in embedded Linux in car Infotainment systems and Cluster Consoles. The software component in a luxury vehicle today is said to represent 13-15% of its value, and growing all the time. Part of this is already open source software, that has crept in by stealth from Tier One component suppliers, and open source software but is now ready to be adopted and recognised as a main stream component. Automotive companies are having to take on the issues of liability, maintainability and integration of open source.
Paul Hansen, editor of the Hansen Report, spoke about the future possibilities of "the cloud". Vehicles not only communicating with each other, but communicating with live databanks of information, reporting on experiences of other vehicles, such as slippery road conditions ahead, or stationary lines of traffic. Google would likely have a key role to play, as self-elected keeper of global street map information.
Each year the numbers have grown at IESF, and Mentor is running additional events in Japan, Germany and Shanghai later this year. It was a very interesting day.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ConnieJ Jacobs - European size cup
I'm afraid people are judging the Tassimo 6 oz size as "small'. Only in America do we expect our coffee to be a minimum of 8 ounces, and more likely 12 oz. More doesn't mean better.
If it's a good coffee, and Jacobs is, you don't need more than 6 oz at a time. It just goes cold! I look at Tassimo now and see that the American sizes have crept into their previous excellent coffee. I know have to use a Coffee Mug instead of a coffee cup (which holds 6 oz). Please stay with 6 oz. Even the expresso is coming in a 6 oz not 4oz or 2 oz. I say again, More isn't BETTER.

This is my new favorite. This coffee is amazingly smooth. I enjoy a robust coffee and usually drink a French Roast but Jacobs Kroenung is not only full bodied, it does not have an acid-y finish, at all. Be aware the Tassimo pod of this pours a shorter cup though, but it's absolutely perfect!

Rated 5 out of 5 by GermanCoffeeLover Mild, Nutty, Low Acid, and Light Roasted
I think Jacobs coffee gets so many bad reviews because the wrong people are drinking it (wrong=someone who enjoys a dark roast). Jacobs coffee is the best coffee for those who enjoy a Light and Mild Roast. This coffee is low acid and good for those who have acid intolerance issues. It has a nutty and creamy taste. It isn't bitter. If you like a dark roast and bold coffee, this isn't for you. If you like a nutty and creamy taste and don't like the burn acidic coffee's leave you with, this coffee IS for you! I run it through my Tassimo twice to get a bigger morning cup.

We are having issues with this coffee pod. The first one leaked all over and out of the Tassimo machine. The second one made only a small amount of coffee - less than the Espresso pod.
Before we try another one, we'd like to know if there have been problems with this coffee before. Our Tassimo machine works great for all of the other pods. Thanking you in advance, SGH

I love reading/learning about similarities in so-called "myths" that are so strikingly similar as to be very hard to dismiss the idea that they share the same source. Which, according to mainstream science, is impossible since ancient cultures were unaware of each other and had no contact with each other due to limited navigational understanding/experience back then.
In reading different cultures flood "myths" it is amazing to me how these stories, allegedly totally independent of each other, share such extreme similarities. When you really consider what is said in these stories, it is just way beyond logical to even consider it is just mere coincidence.
I mean, if all these cultures' stories simply had to say, "hey my village was flooded, only a few survived, etc..." then it'd be easy to dismiss as coincidental and move on. But, when it has much more detail, it gets much harder to simply dismiss. Here is but a few examples:
The ancient Vedic Aryan Hindus (Indus Saraswati) spoke about a series of Ten Pitris who ruled before the global Flood. Ancient Babylonian legend speaks of a pre-Flood series of ten kings. The ancient Egyptians described Ten Shining Ones who ruled consecutively before the Deluge. The last of these kings in the aforementioned lists was the hero who led seven others aboard a vessel in which they survived the global Flood. In ancient India, the hero was Manu who survived the global-Flood with the Seven Rishis. In ancient Babylon, the hero's name was Zisudra who spear-headed the survival on the Ark of seven other humans, the Seven Apkallu. In ancient Egypt, the Flood hero was Toth who survived the Deluge along with the Seven Sages.
Of course, as is in every case, nothing is 100%. Same here. While flood myths exist in every culture, there are also differences in many cultures. I just find it highly interesting that cultures that allegedly never mingled, share such amazingly similar stories.

A synovial biopsy is the removal of a piece of tissue lining a joint for examination. The tissue is called the synovial membrane.
Biopsy - synovial membrane
The test is done in the operating room, usually during an arthroscopy or small incision.
After anesthesia, an instrument called a trocar is inserted into the joint space. This tool helps push fluid in and out of the area. A biopsy grasper is inserted through the trocar and turned to cut out a tissue segment.
The tools are removed. A bandage is applied.
Tell your health care provider:
With the local anesthetic, you will feel a prick and a burning sensation. As the trocar is inserted, there will be some discomfort. If the surgery is performed under regional or general anesthesia, you will not feel the procedure.
Synovial biopsy helps diagnose gout and bacterial infections, or rule out other infections. It can be used to diagnose autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, or uncommon infections like tuberculosis.
The synovial membrane structure is normal.
Synovial biopsy may identify the following conditions:
The test may help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis , lupus, and other autoimmune diseases.
There is a very slight chance of infection and bleeding. Rarely, there is a chance of the needle striking a nerve or blood vessel.
You will need to keep the wound clean and dry until your doctor or nurse says it is okay to get it wet.

As I come to the final month of my time at Anna Maria College, I find it almost overwhelming to reflect on my four years here. In 2010 when I was fresh from the classrooms of my high school, I found myself in a new era of my life that I had not adequately prepared for. During my first semester, I struggled to keep up with the increased demand of succeeding and I thought that I may not be able to reach my goals. However, being at such a small institution, I quickly found myself surrounded by the right group of students—both upperclassmen and those in my own class—who showed me how to get the most out of my Anna Maria College experience and turn myself around.
As the years went by, class-by-class, semester-by-semester, I finally reached my senior year. As I sat in my first class as a senior, I looked back and realized how much I had done in what seemed like such a short period of time. Through being an orientation leader alone, I had worked with various freshman classes and saw in a lot of them what I saw in myself when I was in those students' shoes. Some were confused, some were prepared, and some were in-between. I was able to reassure them that even if they didn't know exactly what they wanted to do in life, they had plenty of time, resources and support at AMC to help shape their future.
In addition to learning from my peers, I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with various administrators at Anna Maria College. Many have become my mentors, as well as some of the greatest advocates for student success that I know. I remember vividly President Calareso's speech on move-in day in August of 2010. He encouraged us to absorb everything and anything we could while at Anna Maria College. I'm certainly glad I took his advice.
Now, with graduation being merely a blink away, I look to the next phase of my education. I'll be attending the Higher Education Administration graduate program at Merrimack College, where I'll also be part of a fellowship program in the Office of Academic Enrichment. My undergraduate experience at AMC helped shape my intended future and I look forward to making a career out of helping students make their transitions into higher education.
I often remind myself that I more than likely wouldn't have gotten to this point in my life if it wasn't for my experiences, support and growth at AMC. It's amazing how much can change in just four years. Between the friends you make, the ones you lose, the goals you reach, and the new goals you set, the Class of 2014's upcoming commencement is a culmination of what each of us achieved as individuals over these critical last four years.Emergency Translation Toronto

This week's blog showcases an interview with Sarah Collins, a senior and Music Education Major at AMC. Sarah is very active on campus and is the President of the Music Education Club, Publicist and Pit Director for the Zecconian Players and a former SGA Senator for the School of Visual and Performing Arts
Here's what Sarah had to say:
Why did you choose AMC?
When I was in high school looking for colleges, my band director suggested AMC because of its strong music program. He got me in touch with the band director at the time and we really hit it off. I came for my audition for the music program and met many of the professors and knew it was the right fit for me.
What did you like about AMC when looking into this school?
One of the best aspects of AMC is that it's a small school where you're not a number, but you're a person. During my time here at AMC, I have been able to get specialized help on various subjects due to small classes and professor availability. I also like that when I came for my audition, the professors and students alike wanted to get to know me and came right up and introduced themselves. Once I officially decided to come to AMC and when I came back, the professors and students remembered me. That's what's important to me.
What are your favorite aspects about this school?
One thing that I really like about this school is how involved the students are with the Student Government Association (SGA) and all the clubs we have on campus. I have been a very active member of the SGA and have worked with various people around campus to make this school the best it can be.
Recently, the school redesigned the library and we now have an Information Commons above the library to study and use the computers and printers. It has been a great addition to this school to give us more opportunity to study and do homework.
Anna Maria College is a great choice for continuing your education. It offers a variety of majors within six different academic schools: Business, Fire and Health Sciences, Justice and Social Sciences, Education, Humanities, and Visual and Performing Arts. The class sizes are small so you are able to get to know your professors and receive more individualized attention.
Anna Maria College also offers 17 Men's and Women's athletic teams and a diverse group of clubs one can join. More importantly, students go to college to further their education and to gain the knowledge and experience to start a career. AMC has the programs and resources to assist students successfully enter the workforce. The College also has a Fifth year option for students to obtain their master's degree.
Another positive is Anna Maria College's affiliation with the Higher Education Collaborative of Central Massachusetts. This organization allows students to take classes at 11 other schools for no additional cost, which means you can take a class of interest to you that might not be offered at AMC.
Finally, AMC is a great choice because you will get a great education and it will set you up for a successful career.
When I was a senior in high school and looking at colleges, there were a number of factors that were important to me. The first, and one of the more important factors was that I wanted to go to a smaller school. I didn't want to go to a college where I was just a number in a huge lecture hall. I wanted a school where my professor would know my name and face, and where I could get help if I needed it.
Another factor was the athletic department. I was a member of the golf team in high school and I wanted to play in college. Anna Maria College helped me achieve that goal, and I have had a great time with my fellow team members.
I was also looking for a school that had a variety of majors to choose from because I was unsure if a degree in business was a good choice for me. Because AMC offers so many choices, I was able to take business classes and criminal justice classes to see where I fit best. I decided that business was the right major for me.
Next week I will discuss why I think you should choose Anna Maria College.

I recently encountered a sticky conundrum as editor of a student-run digital news website at the University of Southern California.
A woman, the centerpiece of a story on the continued plight of the architecture industry in California three years after the recession, contacted one of my reporters in a panic. The source was a Canadian citizen, and it became too expensive a few years ago for her California employer to sponsor her work visa. She was laid off. She took the only job she could find in Vancouver—at a 40 percent salary cut.
Now, times are better. Our source wants to work stateside again in an architecture firm and is setting up interviews with potential employers. But there's one big problem: when potential employers google her name to do a background check, they notice this old article, and her visa troubles wave a red flag. Would they have to sponsor her too, and at what cost? Her complaints in the story about having to take a job in Vancouver reek of sour grapes. She grouses about working for her old corporate company. And she admits to having accepted the steep pay cut in Canada, which could now hurt in salary negotiations.
This article, she said, might be keeping her from getting a job, and she wants it removed.
That was when I realized our newsroom has no policy on what the industry has termed "unpublishing"—the removal of online news articles. And I am not alone, says Kathy English, public policy editor at the Toronto Star.
"I think news organizations are moving toward figuring it all out," English said. "Even just this week I had four requests (to unpublish)."
She wrote a report [pdf] on the issue in 2009, which found that about half of newsrooms polled lacked an unpublishing policy.
"Public requests to unpublish are becoming increasingly frequent and are expected to increase," English wrote in her report, after polling more than 100 editors across North America.
Three years later, the news industry is still catching up as unpublishing requests escalate, said English, and journalistic coverage, often called the "first draft of history," migrates from paper to screen.
"There is something different about online content, because it lasts forever and is easily accessible," English said. "It's not the same as newspapers in trash bins."
Though most editors agreed, according to English's report, that there are some cases that justify deleting information—like inaccuracies or legal concerns—few editors in America would remove our architecture story. Across the board, editors refuse to redact a story because a source regrets something he or she said.
But is that fair to sources? Today, a print past isn't hidden in newspaper archives or on microfilm. Even old content is just a click away. Google takes a snapshot of each page it examines and stores it as a cache. Pages that were removed can still come up in searches. Beyond Google, the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has archived more than 150 billion web pages from 1996 to now.
As editors hold firm, the web creates more and more of these "digital tattoos" that can never go away and are much more visible than in previous journalistic eras. Even if a news organization does decide to remove or alter an article, it's no guarantee the original content doesn't still live somewhere on the Internet.
Recently, English said, the Toronto Star staff decided it needed to take a name out of a piece for legal reasons.
"Working with our webmasters, it took about three days to figure out how to do that with Google, because it was in the abstract," English said. "It was a really hard thing to do. And that made me also realize we can't say yes to all these things because we don't have the manpower."
Ultimately, the dilemma is to balance the concerns of sources with English's practical manpower concerns and the obligation a publication has to its audience.
"There's a contract with the reader," English said, to preserve coverage in most cases. Unless the concern of the source is an egregious legal one, or a matter of protecting a source's physical safety, a publication will rarely, if ever, remove an article though, as English notes, "people often make a compelling case, and you feel so bad for them
I get the human dimension of this."
So does USC Journalism Professor Joe Saltzman.
He remembers a time in 2000 when he wished the USC undergraduate newspaper, the Daily Trojan, showed compassion to one of his former students, who came to the journalism school after a battle with drugs.

I am looking for an affordable way to record my daughter's piano playing. I have a limited budget and can't afford a PZM-6D. Can I use a Sound Grabber II to do a grand piano recording? I am using a Tascam digital mixer connected to a PC. The mixer comes with two XLRs and two 1/4" plugs. And what does it mean by "high-Z unbalanced output"?
Joe Wong
Reply: The Sound Grabber is intended mainly for recording conferences and videos. It normally plugs into a miniature cassette recorder or camcorder.
"High-Z" means "high impedance", or a high resistance to AC current (about 1500 ohms in the Sound Grabber). However, most recorders are designed to work with low impedance microphones (about 250 ohms). An "unbalanced" output is a signal on a cable with a shield and one conductor. An unbalanced output picks up more hum than a balanced output, which has a shield and two conductors.
If your recorder has a 3-pin professional XLR mic connector, it is designed to work with a low-impedance balanced microphone. All Crown mics except the Sound Grabber and GLM-100E are low-impedance balanced.
Costing $99 or less, a Crown GLM-100E mini microphone can produce studio-quality recordings. However, it needs a connector and a 9-volt battery.
A wiring diagram is below. To reduce cost, the GLM-100E has no connector, but you can solder on your own connector.
1. Solder the red lead to the + wire of a 9-volt battery clip.
2. Solder the shield to the wire of the 9-volt battery clip.
3. Also solder the shield to pins 3 and 1 of the XLR male 3-pin connector.
4. Solder the white lead to the + wire of a 10 microfarad electrolytic capacitor.
5. Solder the wire of the 10 microfarad electrolytic capacitor to pin 2 of the XLR connector.
If you don't want to do the wiring, you could buy a GLM-100 microphone, which already has an XLR connector. It is phantom powered and costs about $200.
If you are using the GLM-100E, plug the XLR connector (that you soldered) into your mixer's XLR connector. Be sure phantom power is turned OFF in your mixer.
If you are using the GLM-100, plug its XLR connector into your mixer's XLR connector. Turn ON phantom power in your mixer.
As a starting point, tape the microphone to the underside of the raised piano lid, in the middle.

Equalities Network
NFDC and its partners (including the Police, PCT and voluntary agencies) are keen to ensure services being provided are meeting the needs of the community. We already receive feedback from the majority of the community with our Citizens Panel, however there is some concern that feedback and involvement may be being missed from those who may have other needs. This could be resulting from their age, disability, gender, race, religion/belief or sexual orientation. It is hoped that the Equalities Network will prevent this from happening. Individuals can take part in a number of ways including focus groups, questionnaires, telephone interviews or home visits.

5 recommend Turtle Beach8755ronin | 30/11/2011 | See all 8755ronin's reviews (32)I absolutely love online gaming and get frustrated with the headset that came with the xbox, its flimsy and you cant have the tv on too loud as it disturbs the rest of the family. I wanted to be able to listen to loud game play and speak to the other gamers at the same time, I bought these from argos but they are cheaper with play.com. Firstly they are very robust and the build quality is very good. The headphones are extremely comfortable indeed, possibly the most comfortable I have ever used. You can adjust the game play and chat sounds separately which is great. They also have a bass boost toggle so you can increase or decrease the boost to your liking. The sound is absolutely awesome and I was really surprised as they are low to mid range value. I really felt like I was at the cinema, every deep sound bellowed through the speakers and you can hear sounds coming from all around including subtle noises. Overall a very good set of headphones for the price and well worth a purchase. I have listened to headphones costing over 100 pounds and these really do sound just as good.
5 First reviewMrJargon | 17/12/2011 | See all MrJargon's reviews (1)This is honestly my first ever review of a product usually i dont because i dont think it means much but for the beaches i will take the time. I bought the turtle beach x11 almost 2 years ago and they lasted be this long with excellent quality and i only need to change because of my own bad habits breaking them. I ordered the new x12 version since the old set never failed me and i am not dissapointed by far the best headset ive had in this price range the improvements from the old set are significant to warrent a new version and they still deliver the excellent turtle beach quality you love. I am a PC gamer just to clarify these headsets are not just for XBOX users.
5 Great Value for money!MrAlex94 | 23/01/2012 | See all MrAlex94's reviews (4)I got these for my xbox and the build quality is great!The sound is crisp and allows you to easily understand people over xbox live.I also use these for my pc when i am recording my own voice and it works perfectly.Its a must have!
5 Just WOWJDtallproof | 14/11/2012 | See all JDtallproof's reviews (3)I'm not exadurating but I am picky about my headphones... Turtle beaches have got to start making headphones for casual use. These are monstourously good. I love thebass contol settings as they can be changed according to your playstyle. It offers very crisp highs and a deep, rich bass that i'm astounded by. If you are a gamer, dont even think about getting these. Buy it. I have been using these to play music through my pc and its absolutely brilliant. the x12s really deliver in sound quality. Finally the robust feel and build means here probably going to last you a while. astounding!
5 All ways the turtle beachesXAFigzz | 26/06/2012 | See all XAFigzz's reviews (1)I have been with the turtle beaches for a long time and they have never failed me i started off with the x1's! yes they were so fricken awesome!! and then actually waited a very long time till i upgraded too the x11 and never looked back they are the worlds comfiest headset with such great sound quality knowing on CoD where players where coming from there footsteps and even reloading! The x12 are an upgrade and are so amazing for the value! guys dont miss out on this awesome set of headphones to improve your gaming!!XA Figzz

Epispadias is a rare defect that is present at birth (congenital). It is located at the opening of the urethra.
In this condition, the urethra does not develop into a full tube. The urine exits the body from the wrong place.
The causes of epispadias are not known. It may occur because the pubic bone does not develop properly.
Epispadias can occur with a rare birth defect called bladder exstrophy. In this birth defect, the bladder is inside out and sticks through the abdomen wall. Epispadias can also occur with other birth defects.
The condition occurs more often in boys than girls. It is most often diagnosed at birth or soon afterward.
Males will have a short, wide penis with an abnormal curve. The urethra most often opens on the top or side of the penis instead of the tip. However, the urethra may be open along the whole length of the penis.
Females have an abnormal clitorus and labia. The urethral opening is often between the clitoris and the labia, but it may be in the belly area. They may have trouble controlling urination (urinary incontinence).
Signs include:
Tests may include:
Patients who have more than a mild case of epispadias will need surgery.
Leakage of urine (incontinence) can often be repaired at the same time. However, a second surgery may be needed.
Surgery can help the person control the flow of urine. It will also fix the appearance of the genitals.
Some people with this condition may continue to have urinary incontinence, even after surgery.
Ureter and kidney damage and infertility may occur.
Call your health care provider if you have any questions about the appearance or function of your child's genitals or urinary tract.
