A head injury is any trauma to the scalp, skull, or brain. The injury may be only a minor bump on the skull or a serious brain injury.
Head injury can be either closed or open (penetrating).
Head injuries include:
Head injuries may cause bleeding:
Head injury is a common reason for an emergency room visit. A large number of people who suffer head injuries are children. TBI (traumatic brain injury) accounts for over 1 in 6 injury-related hospital admissions each year.
Brain injury; Head trauma
Common causes of head injury include:
Most of these injuries are minor because the skull protects the brain. Some injuries are severe enough to require a stay in the hospital.
Head injuries may cause bleeding in the brain tissue and the layers that surround the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage, subdural hematomata extradural hematoma).
Symptoms of a head injury can occur right away. Or symptoms develop slowly over several hours or days. Even if the skull is not fractured, the brain can hit the inside of the skull and be bruised. The head may look fine, but problems could result from bleeding or swelling inside the skull.
The spinal cord is also likely to be injured in any serious trauma.
Some head injuries cause changes in brain function. This is called a traumatic brain injury. Concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury. Symptoms of a concussion can range from mild to severe.
Learning to recognize a serious head injury and give basic first aid can save someone's life. For a moderate to severe head injury, CALL 911 RIGHT AWAY.
Get medical help right away if the person:
Then take the following steps:
A serious head injury that involves bleeding or brain damage must be treated in a hospital.
For a mild head injury, no treatment may be needed. However, watch for symptoms of a head injury, which can which can show up later.
Your health care provider will explain what to expect, how to manage any headaches, how to treat your other symptoms, when to return to sports, school, work, and other activities, and signs or symptoms to worry about.
Both adults and children must follow the health care provider's instructions about when it will be possible to return to sports.
Call 911 right away if:
Although no child is injury-proof, parents can take some simple steps to keep their children from getting head injuries .
Not all head injuries can be prevented. But the following simple steps can help keep you and your child safe:

BAGGING CARLA: Speaking of the first lady, who gave a royal flush of fashion credits to Dior last week during her London sojourn, Tommy Hilfiger is the next brand hoping to benefit from her fashion touch. A limited edition tote signed by Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is to be put up for auction April 21 at Hilfiger's Parisian flagship on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. The item is one of four remaining bags from the sold-out line launched last fall to benefit the Breast Health Institute. A gaggle of fashion bloggers, including Cory Kennedy, will be among around 60 high-profile guests who will be invited to bid. Bruni-Sarkozy has also been approached to squeeze an appearance into her schedule. For faraway fans, two signed bags will also be sold via online auctions on tommy.com and elle.fr in the run-up to the event, while Hilfiger's Parisian flagship will host a silent auction open to the general public during the three weeks leading up to the event.
DOUBLE BOOKED: Dakota Johnson — spawn of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson and newcomer to the Manhattan social scene — painted the town red on Thursday night. Decked out in a scarlet Moschino cocktail number, the 18-year-old aspiring model and actress (she just signed with IMG) stopped by Saks Fifth Avenue for a W magazine-sponsored preview of Moschino's fall line. Next, Johnson headed downtown to Paris Commune, where she joined a Zac Posen-clad Eva Amurri at her fete benefiting the UNA-USA's HERO initiative. A gaggle of young thespians like Taylor Momsen, Mamie Gummer and James Snyder (who headlines the new Broadway production of "Cry Baby") rubbed elbows with the hostess' mom and step-dad (Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins). Silent auction lots included photos by Sarandon and Robbins, a dinner and wine tasting at Daniel and fashion looks from Alberta Ferretti, among others. Amurri's charity (for which the starlet is a Goodwill Ambassador) supports children in HIV/AIDS communities in Sub-Saharan Africa.

I rarely go to weddings (maybe it's because most of my social circle is either already married or never going to be), but a year ago a friend invited me to one.
As my friend's date I wasn't obligated to bring a gift, but I'd I'd been told the bride and groom liked to cook, so I got them a few of my favorite kitchen gadgets from Sur La Table as a wedding present. I put my present on a table with dozens of other gifts, and hoped that it wouldn't get lost in the pile.
I was fairly certain that soon after the wedding I would receive a thank-you note for my modest-but-thoughtful-and-super-practical gift. Alas, the postman never brought one. Months passed, and I wondered…Did the couple not like my gift? Had it disappeared? Been regifted? Eventually I just forgot about it altogether.
Until yesterday, that is. I flipped through my mail and was surprised to see the long-awaited thank-you note. Oh it was beautiful, all right—handwritten, very personal. But I have to say I had mixed emotions: Sure, it was great to know that my gift had been received and, in fact, "loved." But I couldn't help feeling that I shouldn't have had to wait an entire year to learn that my present hadn't been disliked, lost or regifted after all.
Actually, Emily Post states that thank-you notes should be written within 3 months of the receipt of the gift.
Moral of the story: Honor your guests—don't wait a year to send out your thank-you notes!

So there we were, on our annual company retreat. One of the highlights of our year. A chance for the whole Here Comes The Guide staff to be together, get some hard work done, and just hang out.
The good news: we were at Woods Hole in Pebble Beach. Gorgeous location, comfortable home perfect for our retreat, right on the ocean. We were getting lots of good work done and enjoying each other's company.
The bad news: 5 of the 8 us, including me, were very sick. We had The Flu. I, for one, can't remember being that sick.
Then, the most wonderful thing happened. Through the front door swooped the lovely staff from Tarpy's Roadhouse, there to make our dinner. But more than that, they took care of us. They made us tea, they served us in front of the TV so we could watch Glee and they whipped up fantastic, comforting food: a salad with apples, pecans and gorgonzola, steak and garlic mashed potatoes, Chilean sea bass with a mango relish and, finally, strawberry shortcake—yum!
Afterward, they cleaned up while we all limped to bed. Still sick, but cared for and comforted.
Yes, the food was great, but the love they delivered with it was just what this sniffly group needed. If they can perform that kind of miracle off-site, imagine what they can do at their very own location. Thanks, Tarpy's!

You've done it—you found "the dress." Now it's time to pull the rest of your look together. Before you proceed, it's useful to identify which shade of white your dress really is so that you can begin to add the finishing touches like jewelry, shoes, and hair accessories.. (This article should help.)
"Your accessories work best together if they are in the same color family, and have the same tones," says Lisa Levine of Perfect Details, a Burlingame boutique and online shop specializing in bridal jewelry, wedding shoes and other fashion accessories. "You'll almost never get an exact color match, so a little lighter or darker is fine and actually adds texture and dimension."
There's one exception to this rule: "Mixing different shades of white and ivory is not recommended." Ivory tends to range from cream to slightly yellow, depending on the fabric or material. And the hues don't play well together. If you're unsure of what coordinating pieces to choose for your white dress, Lisa has a stylish solution:"This season there are many dazzling silver and gold accessories…why not go for the shimmer?"

This article discusses poisoning from mercury.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or a local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
There are three different forms of mercury that cause health problems.
Elemental mercury can be found in:
Inorganic mercury can found in:
Organic mercury can be found in:
Note: This list may not be all-inclusive.
Elemental mercury is usually harmless if touched or swallowed. It is so thick and slippery that it usually falls off your skin or out of your stomach without being absorbed.
Considerable damage can occur, however, if mercury is made airborne into small droplets and breathed into the lungs. This can often occur by mistake when people try to vacuum up mercury that has spilled onto the ground.
Breathing in elemental mercury will cause symptoms right away (acute) if enough mercury is breathed in. Symptoms will also occur over time (chronic) if little amounts are inhaled every day. If this occurs, symptoms may include:
Depending on how much mercury is inhaled, permanent lung damage and death may occur. You may also have some long-term brain damage from inhaled elemental mercury.
Unlike elemental mercury, inorganic mercury is usually poisonous when swallowed. Depending on the how much is swallowed, symptoms may include:
If inorganic mercury enters your bloodstream, it can attack the kidneys and brain. Permanent kidney damage and failure may occur. A large overdose may cause massive blood and fluid loss from diarrhea and kidney failure, leading to death.
Organic mercury can cause sickness if breathed in, eaten, or placed on the skin for long periods of time. Usually organic mercury causes problems over years or decades, not immediately. In other words, being exposed to small amounts of organic mercury every day for years will likely cause symptoms to appear later. Regardless, a single large exposure can also cause problems.
Long-term exposure will likely cause neurological symptoms, including:
Medical evidence suggests that being exposed to large amounts of the organic mercury called methylmercury while pregnant can permanently damage the baby's developing brain. Most doctors will recommend eating less fish, especially swordfish, while pregnant. These recommendations are made to be extremely cautious. Small exposures are unlikely to cause any problems. Women should talk to their doctor about what they should and should not eat while pregnant.
Determine the following information:
However, DO NOT delay calling for help if this information is not immediately available.
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure.
Inhaled elemental mercury poisoning may be difficult to treat. The patient may receive:
For inorganic mercury poisoning, treatment usually begins with supportive care. The patient may receive:
Treatment of organic mercury usually consists of medicines called chelators to remove mercury from the blood and away from the brain and kidneys. Often, these medications will have to be used for weeks to months.
Breathing in a small amount of elemental mercury will cause very few, if any, long-term side effects. However, larger amounts will lead to a long hospital stay. Permanent lung damage is likely. There may be some brain damage. Very large exposures will likely cause death.
A large overdose of inorganic mercury may cause massive blood and fluid loss, kidney failure, and likely death.
Chronic brain damage from organic mercury is difficult to treat. Although some people never recover, some success has been seen in patients treated with chelation.

In the early days of embedded systems, software engineers typically had some understanding of hardware design. Indeed, in many cases, it was the hardware designer who implemented the software. Over the years, as the amount of software development has increased, engineers have become less and less "hardware aware". I find this transition interesting from the viewpoint of an embedded software … Read More

This is not government or political but it is a conspiracy. First UCLA refused to admit who was giving out private medical information and just when the feds tracked the person down, she "quit" and died of cancer. Whoa! Hello? Did UCLA give Fawcett's medical info to tabloids to pressure her to donate? It looks that way. Then they murdered someone to cover it up.
"Calling Dr. Mengele. You have a phone call on line 1, Dr. Mengele."
Moral of the story: Stay away from UCLA. Far, far away.

For a balanced diet, you need the right types and amounts of foods and drinks. This keeps your body healthy.
Know how many calories your body needs every day. Know what size portions your body needs. A balanced diet also includes avoiding too much of some foods and making sure you get enough of others.
Stock up on healthy foods. Avoid foods like chips and candy. They are high in calories. They also don't have much nutrition. Eat healthy snacks instead.
Choose different healthy foods from each food group. Eat foods from each group with every meal.
Good sources of protein include turkey and chicken with the skin removed. Buffalo meat is also good.
Eat lean cuts of beef or pork. Trim away any visible fat.
Eat plenty of fish and shellfish.
Beans are also good sources of protein, including pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, lentils, split peas, and garbanzo beans.
Nuts and seeds are part of a balanced diet. You can also eat tofu, tempeh, and other soy products.
Eggs are a good source of protein and low in saturated fat. But they are very high in cholesterol. Do not eat more than 4 eggs yolks per week. Or try eating dishes that only include egg whites.
Always choose fat-free (skim) or low-fat (1%) dairy products, and try to consume 3 cups per day. Cheese is also a healthy choice, but only in moderation.
Other good dairy choices are milk, buttermilk, and low-fat ice cream. Yogurt is best when it is fat-free or low-fat.
Cream cheese, cream, and butter are not healthy dairy products.
Grain products are made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley, or another cereal grain. Foods made with grains include pasta, oatmeal, breads, breakfast cereals, tortillas, and grits.
There are two kinds of grains: whole grains or refined grains. Choose mostly whole-grain foods. They are much healthier for you because they have the entire grain kernel. These include whole-wheat flour, bulgur (cracked wheat), oatmeal, whole cornmeal, and brown rice. Buy foods that have the words "whole grain" or "whole wheat" on the package.
Refined grains are changed to make them last longer. They also have a finer texture. This process removes fiber, iron, and many B vitamins. Refined grains include white flour, white rice, or de-germed cornmeal. Eat fewer foods that often have refined grains, such as flour and pasta.
Products with added bran, such as oat bran or bran cereal, are a good source of fiber. Just remember, they may not be whole-grain products.
Oils are fats that are liquid at room temperature. Most of these oils are high in monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats. This is the best oil to use for cooking.
Many healthy oils come from plants, nuts, olives, or fish. Healthy choices are canola, corn, cottonseed, olive, safflower, soybean, and sunflower oils.
Any fats that are solid at room temperature contain saturated fats. Saturated fats are much less healthy for you and are often high in cholesterol. Fats found in animals and some fish are higher in saturated fats.
Saturated fats may be found in some foods. Some vegetable oils also have saturated fats. These are coconut, palm, and palm kernel oils.
You can reduce saturated fats in your diet by eating only a small amount of egg yolks, hard cheeses, whole milk, cream, ice cream, butter, and fatty meats.
Trans fats and hydrogenated fats are often found in fried foods. They are also in some donuts, cookies, and crackers. Many processed foods and margarines have them.
Avoid fried foods. Fried food absorbs the fats from cooking oils. This increases your fat intake. If you do fry, cook with polyunsaturated oils.
Boil, grill, poach, and bake fish, chicken, and lean meats.
Read food labels. Avoid foods that have saturated fats, hydrogenated fats, or trans fats.
Fruits and vegetables are lower in calories. They are also packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Eating many fruits and vegetables can help you control your weight. It may also reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases.
Fruits and vegetables are high in fiber and water. This helps fill you up. Replace high-calorie foods with fruits and vegetables. This can lower the calories and fat in your diet without leaving you feeling hungry.
Be careful not to eat too many fruits. They do have calories. But try to eat 2 cups (4 servings) of fruit and 2 1/2 cups of vegetables (5 servings) per day for an average 2,000-calorie per day diet. You can always add more low-calorie vegetables to your diet.
Divide your dinner plate. Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables. Fill the other half with whole grains and meat.
Replace half of the cheese in your omelets with spinach, onions, tomatoes, or mushrooms. Replace 2 ounces of cheese and 2 ounces of meat in your sandwiches with lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, or onions.
Add chopped broccoli, tomatoes, squash, onions, or green peppers to your dishes instead of pasta or rice. Use frozen or canned vegetables if you don't have fresh ones.
When you feel hungry during the day, eat some baby carrots or an apple. Choose fresh fruit for dessert. Avoid cookies, cakes, or pudding.

I also wouldn't rule out safeties Malcolm Jenkins and Roman Harper - or even Pro Bowl punter Thomas Morstead.

MUSIC NERD MOMENT OF THE DAY: Happy Birthday, Sly Stone!
Today is the birthday of one of the most gifted, successful and still conflicted artists to ever walk the face of the earth: Sylvester Stewart, better known to us as Sly Stone. An iconic figure in rock, pop, soul, funk and even Hip Hop to a certain extent (being that much of his music helped to shape lots of funk that would come after it, which would subsequently influence Hip Hop), we would be remiss to not give credit where credit is due.
I mean, think about it: what if Sly Stone had never been born? What if we had not been exposed to the rowdy, soulful and psychedelic music that he created in the 60s that would lead to darker and yet just as brilliant material later on? What it there wasn't a Sly Stone that found his way to California all those years ago and had the courage to combine the elements of so many different kinds of music, as well as to front mixed race and gender band during the height of unrest and social change in America? I personally would like to perish the thought all together. So today, March 15, while there's still some time, let's take time out to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY and thank you to Sly and all he did to influence, push and change music as we know it. Peep some of his greatest tracks below.

Current Time
New York City nightlife
New York nightlife is currently in the midst of a 1920s flashback, with covert, speakeasy-style bars popping up left and right—think dark-lit basement spaces complete with unmarked entrances, absinthe-laced cocktails, and reservations requirements. Some of these spots are legitimately difficult to find and get into; others, like PDT and the Box, are not prohibitively expensive or exclusive and view the mystique as part of the fun.
In general, most of the nightlife worth going out for in New York City takes place below 34th Street, and the super-chic crowd that once descended upon the Meatpacking District (MPD) and Chelsea has left their bottle service behind for the less-mega clubs of the East Village, West Village, and the Lower East Side. That's not to say that the MPD and Chelsea have become ghost towns—quite the opposite. Weeknights are still jumping, but weekends are so overrun with out-of-towners and the much-derided bridge-and-tunnel crowd that crossing Ninth Avenue at Gansevoort Street on a Saturday night can feel like walking through Grand Central Station. On the opposite side of town, Avenues A, B, and C and the side streets surrounding them—plus the Lower East Side's Clinton, Ludlow, and Rivington streets—are drenched in bars, both divey and upscale, and make for prime hopping territory. The stretch of the Bowery from Soho up through Cooper Square has recently undergone a major transformation, with restaurants, bars, and clubs dominating the strip historically known for its halfway houses and dirty rocker bars. Similarly, the once-sleepy Chinatown has awakened as a haven for under-the-radar bars and nightspots.
Most weekend nights, expect things to get jumping around 11 or 11:30 and keep going until last call at 4 am: New York isn't called the city that never sleeps for nothing. In fact, most bars are open seven days a week, with Thursdays, Sundays, and recently Tuesdays becoming serious party nights. Some say that Friday nights are when the real New Yorkers stay in, and catch up on their TV shows and order takeout, but that's only partially true. No matter their age and occupation, everyone in New York likes to party; so wherever you are, expect to mingle with a mix of just-legal New York University kids, Wall Street banker types (there are still plenty of them), downtown artists, and uptown socialites. Since New York nightlife is constantly in a state of flux—clubs change their names and owners on a weekly basis—get a copy of Time Out New York, which has an encyclopedic, up-to-date list of all New York's after-dark happenings.

No need to go all the way to Mount Etna, Hawaii or the Pacific Ring of Fire: there are volcanoes galore in Germany. In the Eifel, one of the largest volcanic regions in central Europe, geologists have recorded approximately 350 cinder cones, spectacular quarries, lava streams, deposits of tuff and pumice that are metres thick, domes, a large number of effervescent carbonated springs and geysers, as well as plumes and hot spots. Here more than anywhere else in Germany, the earth has retained signs of its fiery past, and the many volcanic cones and blue crater lakes tell of the dramatic, flaming genesis of this fascinating region bordered by the Rhine, Moselle and Ahr rivers. This fiery heritage is illustrated and explained at museums, information centres and visitor mines along the route, and visitors can conduct experiments to see which forces are at work and exactly what is going on under the Earth's crust. Many indications suggest that the volcanoes are not extinct, but only sleeping. The German Volcanoes Route offers a huge variety of ways to explore, discover and learn all about these geological phenomena.

Urine immunofixation is a test to look for proteins in urine.
You will need to supply a clean-catch (midstream) urine sample.
For an infant:
I may take more than one try to get a sample from an infant. An active baby can move the bag, so that the urine goes into the diaper. Check the infant often and change the bag after the urine has been collected. Drain the urine from the bag into the container given to you by your health care provider.
Deliver the sample to the lab or your health care provider as soon as possible after it is done.
No special steps are necessary for this test.
The test involves only normal urination. There is no discomfort.
This test is most often used to check the levels of certain proteins (called monoclonal immunoglobulins). These proteins are linked to multiple myeloma and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia .
No presence of monoclonal immunoglobulins is normal.
The presence of monoclonal proteins may indicate:
Immunofixation is similar to urine immunoelectrophoresis , but it may give more rapid results.

The finished surface is no longer smooth, no longer exhibits unwanted line flash, and can be optimized via the engineered shape, depth, and frequency of the pattern to yield greatly improved line-to-water floatation, casting performance, and overall line suppleness and durability.
• Engineered for cold water use
• Excels in mending and long range casting

This situation is just getting more and more complicated. Pauly allegedly sent Amanda text messages asking her to get an abortion — and now she's trying to sell screenshots of those messages! Additionally, HollywoodLife.com got the exclusive statement from Pauly D. Read what he had to say below.
Pauly D is the proud father of a beautiful five-month old baby, Amabella. However, he felt that getting an abortion was the right thing to do, according to a new report, and even paid Amanda Markert the money for her to get one!
Pauly D Wanted Abortion, Claims Amanda Markert
Amanda, the 25-year-old former Hooters waitress, is trying to sell screenshots of the text messages she has that show Pauly asking her to abort their baby, TMZ reported. Apparently she has been shopping the texts around to multiple outlets, which even show Pauly, 33, volunteering to pay for it!
TMZ has also learned that he ended up actually giving her the money — which she kept, along with the baby. Ouch!
However, Pauly released the following statement to HollywoodLife.com:
Sometimes in life things aren't planned and they may even scare you at first, but they end up being a blessing, that is how I feel about having a daughter, Im looking forward to being a parent to her.
Pauly D Fighting For Custody Of Amabella
Pauly and Amanda had a one-night stand at the Las Vegas nightclub Rehab, so it was clear there was no planning there, TMZ said, so he felt an abortion was the right choice to make.
The two hooked up on August 20, 2012 in Vegas, a friend of Amanda's told HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
"Amanda was a bottle girl at Harrah's in Atlantic City, but she didn't meet Pauly there when he had his DJ residency," the source said. "She did become good friends with Loren, who dates Pauly's security guard, Gerry. She went to Vegas for the night to visit Loren and she wound up hanging out with Pauly at Rehab. Later that night, they hooked up and she left Vegas the next morning. Their one night in Vegas was the only time they've ever been together."
So, HollywoodLifers — are you shocked Amanda is trying to sell the pics of the screen shots? Do you think Pauly has the right to be mad?

She should have used a condom, the morning after pill…I would have aborted!!! But I think this chick was scheming up to get pregnant on purpose. GROSS!!! Abortion would have ended that bad one-night stand…but then she wouldn't be getting child support (as she clearly wanted).
poor kid
you're a dick

this woman is GARBAGE. i cannot imagine a mom even saying out loud something like that. he's right to try to get custody, tho he'll be stuck with that whore for the rest of his life b/c he will have to co-parent with her. by the way, yes, i think he acted trashy, too- the hookup without protection with some random girl. however, she was clearly lurking like a vulture trying to get with that guy. she might as well write that vegas ticket off as a business expense, b/c apparently she's in the biz fo sho. poor daughter, stuck with that for a mom. i hope mom does a 180 w/her character, and hopefully pauly d has seen the light (sounds like he has).

The mother seems like an a $.s. I mean, there's nothing wrong with a guy wanting a one night stand to get an abortion, I wouldn't get one regardless of his wishes, but it's not a crime. With that said though, her shopping the screen texts around is sad. Her daughter is going to grow up and what will she think? I think child support should be sufficient, but if she goes to extra lengths to get money, then she didn't keep her daughter out of love, but for the money.

Morocco 40000
Concierge.com's insider take:
Jemaa El Fna, translated as the Square of the Dead, is the main open space in Marrakesh, and is as old as the city itself. Once the scene of public executions (back in the old days, no need to worry), it is now the city's cultural epicenter, thronged day and night with a carnival of local life, including snake charmers (a few dirhams for a photograph with a snake draped over your shoulders; a few more to have it removed); dentists (teeth pulled on the spot); scribes (letters written to order); herbalists (cures for everything and nothing); and beggars (to whom Moroccans give generously). In the evenings, the square becomes a venue for alfresco eating and entertainment of a bizarre nature with troupes of costumed acrobats, storytellers, magicians, transvestite dancers, and semimystical gnawa musicians attended by small knots of wild-eyed devotees giddy on the repetitive rhythms. Tourists are welcome to watch, but nothing here is staged for their benefit; this place is genuine.
Several cafés and restaurants have upper terraces with ringside seating from which to observe the mayhem of Jemaa El Fna. One of the best of the lot is Café Glacier, which is above the Hotel CTM, with its sweeping, 270-degree view from the roof; some people prefer the Café de France. Come at dusk for purple skies clouded by drifts and curls of smoke as food stalls below fire up the griddles and the smell of grilling meat overlaps with the insistent clattering of hand drums.

Thursday 7 February 2013
Many small and medium-sized businesses have admitted to purchasing or downloading illegal software, new research has shown.
A survey by the Business Software Alliance (BSA) found that over half of firms had engaged in such downloading.
As a result of this, 41 per cent said they believed their details were used in identity theft.
Furthermore, 28 per cent said they had their card cloned, 41 per cent said their product had either not arrived or arrived late. Another 33 per cent claimed they had been charged too much.
Meanwhile, 88 per cent of small businesses said that using illegal software would make them more likely to worry about liability; for example when buying a product that has failed health and safety compliance.
Some companies said the downloading of illegal software was an accident while others said they tried to resolve the situation after they found out the product they had invested in was fraudulent.

How do I clean the Overlord Type 1 jacket?
Hand wash the jacket in warm water and mild liquid laundry detergent. Hand washing minimizes unnecessary stress on the garment. A soft bristle tooth brush helps in removing any bug strikes or road debris.
Rinse the jacket with clean water to remove all detergent. Do not use any form of oxygenated detergent, bleach, fabric softener, or dry cleaning chemicals. These items will damage the jacket.
Drip dry only; do not use a machine.

Well, apparently, you can have multiple blogs, but you can't have multiple profiles. So this one will have to suffice for every site. My Finding My Voice persona says: My dream is to get paid to sing. That dream is slightly complicated by two things: 1) I'm not a big fan of singing in public, and 2) Not many people get paid to sing. I figure, I'll focus on 1, and then maybe 2 will take care of itself. In the meantime, I'm a writer and editor. My The Cookie Queen's English persona says: It's always good to have more than one dream. And one of my others is to open a bakery someday. A cookie bakery. Hence my blog The Cookie Queen's English, a chronicle of cookies ... and the occasional muffin ... and scone ... and ... .

I know finals week isn't the greatest time to talk about nutrition, but I'm doing it anyway.
I've been trying for a long time to articulate exactly why processed foods are the worst, and that sugar is in everything, and [insert long and exhausting rant about food here]. This article does a good job of summarizing how calories just aren't equivalent:
Still Believe 'A Calorie is a Calorie'? (Dr. Lustig was on The Colbert Report if you're interested in watching his interview!)
I did a presentation on high fructose corn syrup a few weeks ago in my Drug Information class discussing the biochemical differences between HFCS and glucose, and it was quite enlightening. (Summary: fructose doesn't stimulate the release of insulin and lectin, which are vital hormones for digestion/appetite control–also fructose doesn't cross into your brain like glucose does to tell it to stop eating, and your brain needs sugar to live!).
Anyway, the best advice you can take away is to eat more fruits and vegetables and less processed foods. As little as possible! If you're on a budget, frozen food works, canned is better than nothing (just watch the sodium and other ingredients).
Be vigilant of your food labels. Look for things with a lot of saturated fat, sodium, and sugar, and stay away from it. I've also mad ea habit of staying away from things with ingredients lists that are paragraphs long (have you seen a Cheez-It box lately?).

text: A heart shaped diamond has a cleft at the top of the stone and typically flaunts great brilliance. For obvious reasons, heart shaped diamonds are considered the most romantic of all the diamond shapes. When finding the right heart diamond for an engagement ring, symmetry must not be overlooked – the two halves of the heart should be identical. As a general rule, heart shaped diamonds smaller than .50 carats are not a good selection, as they will appear smaller after being set in prongs. Three prong and bezel settings are the best match for heart diamonds.

quote:1988,1991,1992,1994,1995,1998-2001,2005....are safe years If you filed in any other year between 1980-2010, you owe more than you paid. Your share of the national debt is equivalent to what tax rates would have needed to be adjusted to , to bring revenue=cost that given year. if you were at the 17% bracket and another was at a 23% bracket, then a 10% increase to tax rates that year would bring you up to a 18.7% and the other to 25.3%...of your Income for that year. A bit of research would have to be done on filings to see how much %tax rate increase would be necessary each individual year, but all is available in the IRS database and not much effort. The idea behind this is that those responsible for the accrual of the debt should be held responsible for the debt. Before you say it's wrong to back tax people, do you think it's right that they now get to push the burden down to others instead? A lien is put onto your estate until the debt is repaid.

text: 4 Just the same as any of the othersTardisMonkey | 15/04/2010 | See all TardisMonkey's reviews (2)Top 100 Toys Reviewer Bought the Sonic Screwdriver today due to that I needed a closer replica to the one that David Tennant has on screen. Thats what I got. Its the same material as any of the other Sonic Screwdrivers and even makes the same noise and has the same functions. Only problem was that the cap that covers the screw does not fit properly and maybe easy to loose.. So watch out!However its a good cheap replica for any who fan.

I am a Latina Blogger, Small Business Owner and social media consultant. At any given moment I can be found juggling 3 or 4 tasks. It's part of the lifestyle and I love it.
Starting your own business has its perks. You can set your own hours and spend more time with loved ones. Not. This fantasy is what drives many to start a business. It is also what causes them to fail. Reality, in contrast, is very different.
I hate to burst your bubble but starting and running your own business means your hours are erratic, your pay fluctuates and your loved ones can, and do, get pushed to the side as you get your business off the ground.
The good news: It gets better.
However, you must set the foundation for how your family, friends and clients view you. If you see your time as valuable, so will others. With that said, I believe these 6 ground rules are non-negotiable.
- Don't drop by unannounced.
Don't assume because I work from home I can entertain you during my workday. Just as I would not drop by your cubicle, or office, to spend hours chit-chatting, please refrain from doing it during my business hours. Respect my time as I would yours.
- I am not your laundry service, maid, or taxi.
Working from home has its perks. I'm usually able to put my work aside to attend my Tween's school functions; however, when I do, I make up for the time lost by working into the wee hours of the night. My ability to reschedule my time for my son, does not mean that I will reschedule my time to pick up your packages, drive you around, or just run errands for you.
- Conference calls are sacred.
Given that working from home means less face time, conference calls are sacred. They may be the only "real" contact you have with a client or colleagues. These check-in times are vital for establishing a rapport with one another. They are also how you ensure your client and/or colleagues know that you are working and not just watching Dr. Oz.
- My cell phone is an extension of my office.
I know. I know. Whipping out your cell phone when you're with friends and family can seem inexcusable. I get it. In fact, I've heard it countless times. But, our cell phones are an extension of our office. We need to take that call or answer that email, tweet, Facebook post, text, etc., etc. Why? Because starting a small business means that you must give 110% at all times. If we don't take that call or respond to that email, tweet, Facebook post, text, etc., etc. someone else will. So, cut us some slack! If you don't, you may just cost us our client.
- My Small Business is not a hobby.
I often find others do not take my small business as seriously as they should. Let me make this clear. My small business pays the bills, the medical insurance, the 401K, and so much more. A hobby does not. Please make sure you understand the difference. It's a no brainer, you either respect my time or you may find me limiting the amount of time I spend with you.
- My time is valuable and so is yours.
With only 24 hours in a day, 14 if we subtract the amount of time we eat, poop and sleep, we have to schedule everything we do, if we want to keep all the balls in the air. If we schedule time with you, respect it. We want to spend time with you, not waiting for you. Show us you value our time, as much as yours, by arriving on time.
- Coffee does not mean you can pick my brain.
If I were to count on my fingers the number of times I have been invited to coffee and then surprised with a brain-picking session, I would need more fingers. I worked hard to get where I am. I have also spent money on courses, conferences, books, and videos to hone my social media skills. Please don't assume I am going to give it away. My time, and ideas, are worth money. If you would like to pick my brain, hire me as a consultant. You'll not only have my undivided attention, you'll also appreciate, and use, the advice given because you're taking your business as seriously as I am.
Let's talk! Have you encountered any of these situations? If so, how did you react? Leave a comment and share your wisdom!

Technical Papers and Presentations
Exploring the Design Space of Electro Thermal Actuators
W. Hodges, and J.V. Clark
Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA
In this paper we explore the design space of several configurations of electro thermal actuators (ETA) through COMSOL. A unique attribute of ETA is their ability to produce a large and stable actuation force using any semi-conductive material. Comparisons between ETAs are lacking. Without adequate comparisons, it is difficult for designers to readily decide which type and geometry of ETAs might ...

D. Andrade, and D. Schiffabuer
Pennsylvania Breaker LLC, Canonsburg, PA, USA
Pennsylvania Breaker presents a dielectric stress study for its 72kV class breaker. This study was instrumental in the design and testing procedures during the research and development phase. COMSOL was incorporated into the design pipeline as an important tool for rapid reference of complicated and costly steady state electric cases. The purpose of this study was to develop a robust geometric ...
Ionic Current Through Carbon Nanotubes
J.H. Park, and P. Krstic
Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN, USA
Ionic current through an electrolyte filling a carbon nanotube (CNT) is characterized by unusually high current values, due to the strong slip of the fluid at the inner surface of the nanotube, as well as of a dominating role of electro-osmotic component. Using COMSOL, we explore the fundamental features of this phenomenon with respect to the CNT length and excess charge inside the tube. COMSOL ...
Modeling a Focused Microwave System for Transcutaneous Thermal Therapy of Breast Cancer
J. Stang, B. Fowlkes, M. Moghaddam, O. Kripfgans, and P. Carson
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA
A transcutaneous thermal therapy system is being developed for the targeted treatment of breast cancer cells using focused microwaves as an adjuvant to surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). Prior imaging studies are used to ascertain the material properties of the breast tissue, and this data is incorporated into a COMSOL Multiphysics model. Time ...
Energy Harvesting for Microid Microrobots: a Computational Study
J.V. Clark, F. Li, and A. Shankar
Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA
In this paper we present a computational study on energy harvesting for microid microrobots. We examine the feasibility of extracting energy from the ambient environment through the piezoelectric legs of the microid. Microids are microrobots that have insect like dexterity. The microid's use in remote locations makes it imperative for it to be able to recharge itself. Clark et al. presented a ...
Reliability Screening Test for Metal Foil Resistors
A. Cyganowski[1], H. Leidecker[2], J. Brusse[2], L. Panashchenko[2], and T.E. Schmidt[3]
[1]Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, USA
[2]NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, USA
[3]St. Mary's College of Maryland, St. Mary's City, MD, USA
Metal foil resistors are often chosen for NASA space flight applications due to their high precision and stability. COMSOL Multiphysics is used to develop a test that screens out metal foil resistors containing gridline defects. The resistors will be subjected to repeated short duration electrical pulses that induce localized heating and fatigue only in areas with constrained gridlines. The pulse ...
SAW Sensor
S. Liu, P. Wang, and H. Sun
University of Massachusetts Lowell, Lowell, MA, USA
In this paper we study the porous media coating (PMC) effect on the surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor for chemical detection. Intensive research for SAW sensor is focused on using high surface polymer coating such as nanofibrous film to improve the sensitivity and to shorten response time for in situ trace level detections. A theoretical analysis shows the PMC can provide a higher and faster ...

Alport syndrome is an inherited disorder that damages the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys.
Hereditary nephritis; Hematuria - nephropathy - deafness; Hemorrhagic familial nephritis; Hereditary deafness and nephropathy
Alport syndrome is an inherited form of kidney inflammation (nephritis). It is caused by a mutation in a gene for a protein in the connective tissue, called collagen.
The disorder is uncommon. It most often affects males. Women can pass the gene for the disorder to their children, even if they have no symptoms.
Risk factors include:
The disorder damages the tiny blood vessels in the glomeruli of the kidneys. The glomeruli filter blood to make urine and remove waste products from the blood.
At first, there are no symptoms. However, the destruction of the glomeruli over time leads to blood in the urine and may decrease the effectiveness of the kidney's filtering system. Often kidney function is lost over time and waste products and fluids build up in the body.
In women, the disorder is usually mild, with few or no symptoms. In men, the symptoms are more severe and get worse faster.
Symptoms include:
The condition can progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) at an early age (between adolescence and age 40).
Note: There may be no symptoms in some cases. Symptoms of chronic kidney failure or heart failure may be present or may develop.
Signs include:
The following tests may be done:
The goals of treatment include monitoring and controlling the disease and treating the symptoms. It is most important to strictly control blood pressure. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers can control blood pressure and slow the rate at which the disease gets worse.
You may need to treat chronic kidney disease. This can include changing the diet, limiting fluids, and other treatments. Chronic kidney disease will progress to end-stage kidney disease. This will require dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Surgery to repair cataracts (cataract extraction ) or a bulging of the lens in the eye may be needed.
Hearing loss is likely to be permanent. Counseling and education to increase coping skills can be helpful. Learning new skills such as lip reading or sign language and getting hearing aids may help. Young men with Alport syndrome should use hearing protection in noisy environments.
Genetic counseling may be recommended because the disorder is inherited.
Women usually have a normal lifespan with no signs of the disease except for blood in the urine. Rarely, women will have high blood pressure, swelling, and nerve deafness as a complication of pregnancy.
In men, deafness, vision problems, and end-stage kidney disease are likely by age 50.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
This uncommon disorder is inherited. Awareness of risk factors, such as a family history of the disorder, may allow the condition to be detected early.
