Olympics good for economy, say London businesses
Wed, 28 Jun 2012
Print this page
Three-quarters (76%) of London businesses say the Olympics and Paralympics will have a positive impact on regeneration and half (51%) think they will help improve transport, according to a CBI (Confederation of British Industry) survey.
The survey of 250 employers found that enhancing skill levels remains the area where firms think the Games will have the least impact (37%).
Sara Parker, CBI London director, says: "The 2012 Games will help showcase London around the world and will be good for the economy."
Half of employers (50%) intend to let their employees work from home during the Games and 57% will adapt their working hours, while 46% of firms say they will allow employees to have time off to attend events.

k cnn.com today had a story with the headline "GOP's new youth ambassador: Lady Gaga?"
Thought that seemed a bit odd so I clicked on the story which you can see here:
Immediately the title is ridiculously misleading and by itself is spreading misinformation. The first paragraph is also equally as misleading. Plus adding a picture of Gaga to the right, more misleading.
The long and short of it is some college kid made a youtube video parodying a Lady Gaga song. How in the hell that qualifies as front page headline news for CNN... Fuck CNN is retarded. But what's far worse is it's spreading retarded to you know, adults. Reading CNN. They're the informed decision makers of our country. And they're DUMB.
I have huge problems with "reputable" news sources like CNN doing shit like this. First off THIS IS NOT NEWS. Even if it had been Lady Gaga making a video denouncing government spending that doesn't qualify as headline news.
Being incredibly misleading completely takes away my confidence in CNN as a source for news at all. They don't realize the damage and out right lies they're spreading around to millions of people everyday with their clumsy idiot "reporting" Just looking at the comments shows just how many people fell for this "start with a LIE and then vaguely mention what really happened later" tactics. This makes me realize that people
A) didn't even read the article to the third paragraph to realize it was just some college kid doing a parody youtube video.
B) they did read the article but were too stupid to comprehend what it was actually saying.
Both options disturb me to no end. Honestly I've seen WAY more intelligence from trolls on 4chan than these blog commenters on CNN. And what makes this SUPER uplifting is the retaredness is flowing from both political parties in the comments. The huge amount of hatred towards each other and so many of them don't even understand that Lady GaGa wasn't even involved. There are tons of comments about celebrities should shut up nobody cares about their opinon, or how stupid the republicans are to use Gaga as their spokesperson. NONE of these people even read the article. It's childish internet flaming one another and NONE of them seem to even realize what CNN was writing about because over half of the "news" article was deliberately misleading.
This is my problem with traditional news media. They aren't about actually giving people meaningful facts or being truthful and to the point. They're wasting time with misleading fulf pieces and deliberately "flame war" causing articles. It's a waste of time to read this drivel, and it's dumbing down the world even more than it already is. Honestly I apologize to even bringing this up to you fine people of Snafu. I just made us ALL a lot less intelligent by introducing CNN articles into our lives. We're much smarter reading my comic about dick and fart jokes than we'd ever be bothering with a trusted modern news source. I look forward to the Media dieing. I won't miss them.

Ex-girlfriend says Mazzaglia had choking fetish: Says she told police about her past with Dover murder suspect
Thursday, October 18, 2012
DOVER — "I saw this happening from a mile away," Catherine Fish said, reflecting on the death last week of a University of New Hampshire sophomore.
Although Marriott's body has not been recovered, prosecutors say they have gathered "credible" evidence indicating Mazzaglia suffocated or strangled Marriott inside his apartment on Mill Street on Tuesday, Oct. 9, the night she went missing. Foster's Daily Democrat has learned the death occurred during a sexual encounter, although it's unknown whether Marriott was a willing participant. The attorney general's office announced Marriott's death Saturday, and Mazzaglia was arraigned on the murder charge Monday. Few details of the police investigation have been released, and documents relating to the case remain under seal at Dover District Court. Foster's has asked the court to release investigatory materials pertaining to the case. In the absence of an explanation for the death, those who knew Marriott and her suspected killer have been puzzled by the crime. Friends remember Mazzaglia, an aspiring actor and 2006 UNH theater graduate, as a "nice guy" who was enthusiastic about martial arts and active in local theater. Mazzaglia also operated a number of online accounts, including a profile on the dating website OKCupid.com under the username "DarkKaiser." Mazzaglia does not drink or take drugs, according to his page, which lists hobbies such as "gaming" and "watching movies." The same user name, DarkKaiser, was also used by a 29-year-old Dover, N.H., man on the website FetLife.com, an online meeting place for bondage and fetish enthusiasts. The profile indicates the user is interested in a "lifetime relationship, a play partner, princess by day, slut by night, a sub." Now 28, and living on the West Coast, Fish said she was stunned, but not surprised to learn of the charges against Mazzaglia this week. After graduating from high school, Fish said she traveled to New Hampshire to live with Mazzaglia inside a basement unit at the Sawyer Mill Apartments, the spacious apartment complex in Dover where Marriott was allegedly murdered last week. The pair dated off-and-on for about 17 months, between January 2002 and May 2003, she said. A phone directory from 2003 at the Dover Public Library indicates residents named "C Fish" and "S J Mazzaglia" both resided at the Sawyer Mill Apartments that year. The directory does not list the apartments they lived in, but does indicate the two residents shared the same phone number. When Fish moved in, Mazzaglia had recently been kicked out of Rensselaer, and he was spending a lot of time with social groups at UNH, such as the school's "pagan circle," she said. He was enthusiastic about the game Dungeons and Dragons, and was attending night classes at UNH in hopes of being accepted as a full-time student. UNH had refused to accept Mazzaglia after he left Rensselaer, according to Fish, who said the refusal came as blow to Mazzaglia. "You'll find with this guy that his ego must be appeased," she said. Fish said Mazzaglia never physically abused her during their relationship, but he was "severely sexually abusive" and "refused to accept 'No' as an answer." "He would throw a tantrum if I refused to have sex with him, to the point where like, throwing stuff," she remembered. "It was very clear that 'No' wasn't an option, so it was coercion always in that regard." Fish said she believes Mazzaglia's interest in asphyxiation continued when they moved in together, but her recollection has grown hazy due to stress from the relationship. However, there is one conversation Fish claims to remember clearly: Fish said Mazzaglia once told her to avoid wearing necklaces around him because "the urge to choke me was very strong." Fish said she was enrolled at McIntosh College, the former business college in Dover, at the time, and moved into the school's dorms when she finally decided to break off her relationship with Mazzaglia in May 2003. Fish said she didn't take action against him, such as filing for a restraining order, because she didn't perceive his actions as a form of abuse. "I didn't think that what he was doing was wrong," she said. "I knew I didn't like it, but because he didn't hit me, I didn't associate that with domestic violence." Since then, Fish said she has contacted UNH's Sexual Harassment and Rape Prevention service several times to discuss the situation, and has also relayed her experience with Mazzaglia at "Take Back the Night," an annual event held on the UNH campus to raise awareness of domestic abuse and sexual assault. A friend in New Hampshire contacted Fish to inform her about Mazzaglia's arrest, she said. Since then, Fish said she's been in contact with local police to relay the details of her relationship. A spokeswoman from the attorney general's office and Dover Police Chief Anthony Colarusso both declined to comment on whether Fish has been in contact with investigators. "I cannot comment one way or the other because it's an ongoing and active investigation," Colarusso said. Mazzaglia's next court hearing is scheduled for Oct. 29. |

The Poweraid TBS concept was developed to enhance midrange power, torque, and fuel efficiency. The unique dyno-proven "Helix Bore" of the Poweraid throttle body spacers causes a spinning action of the incoming air-charge as it passes through the throttle body. This extremely beneficial air-charge carries all the way into the combustion chamber, producing a super-atomized mixture, which creates tremendous gains in midrange power and overall efficiency. This is the key element to the horsepower success.

Parathyroid hyperplasia is the enlargement of all four parathyroid glands. The parathyroid glands are glands in the neck that produce parathyroid hormone (PTH).
Parathyroid hyperplasia may occur in people without a family history of the disease, or as part of three inherited syndromes:
In people with an inherited syndrome, a changed (mutated) gene is passed down through the family. You only need to get the gene from one parent to develop the condition.
Symptoms may include:
Blood tests will be done to check calcium, phosphorus , magnesium, PTH , and vitamin D levels. A 24-hour urine test may be done to determine how much calcium is being removed from the body and is leaking into the urine.
Bone x-rays and a bone density test (DXA) can help detect fractures, bone loss, and bone softening.
Surgery is the preferred treatment. Usually 3 1/2 glands are removed. The remaining tissue may be implanted in the forearm so a doctor can easily operate on it if symptoms come back. This tissue will also help the body control calcium levels.
Increased calcium levels persist or return about 20% of the time after surgery.
Parathyroid hyperplasia can cause hyperparathyroidism, which leads to an increase in blood calcium levels.
Complications include increased calcium in the kidneys and osteitis fibrosa cystica (a softened, weak area in the bones).
Patients may also have complications from the other tumors that are part of the multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes. See also:
Call your health care provider if:
Patients with a family history of the MEN syndromes may want to have genetic screening to check for the defective gene. Those who have the defective gene may have routine screening tests to detect any early symptoms.

Thank you,
Awaiting response from Sea Shepherd to see if money raised can specifically go towards increasing their reward. They are currently offering $10,000 and the Humane Society is offering $2500. Figured its going to be sunny and warm on Sunday, and rather just sit here and say, "Ah that sucks for that whale", to actually try and do something about it, especially when it washes up close to home.
If they say it can't go specifically towards the reward, the fact that they're offering $10,000 in the first place would still make me want to fundraise for their causes.
Thank you! Awesome, man! Good Luck!!!!!!!
if the whale was stranded and suffering then this is a humane act. I didn't get the details from that article.
What is the penalty for shooting and/or killing a whale?
this is all cute and all but i kinda wish people would be just as enthusiastic about other things too. like if a poor black man gets murdered no one gives a **** but when a whale is shot (which is wrong, yeah) everyone gets excited and wants to help out
you are correct. noone give a damn when a black man gets shot because theyre taking over the world. All they do is have illegitimate children whom they dont care for and cant financially support.
This is going to go nowhere fast......
next time a black man gets shot youre saying we should do a paddleout? get the hell out of here
Getting back to the whale....
Ryan, is there a PO Box or something we can send $$ too to Sea Shepard? I cannot find anything online. (Boss is looking over my shoulder right now...)

The main treatments for heart failure are making lifestyle changes and taking your medicines. However, there are procedures and surgeries that may help.
A heart pacemaker is a small, battery-operated device that sends a signal to your heart. The signal makes your heart beat at the correct pace.
Pacemakers may be used:
When your heart is weakened, gets too large, and does not pump blood very well, you are at high risk for abnormal heartbeats that can lead to sudden cardiac death.
The most common cause of heart failure is coronary artery disease (CAD) , which is a narrowing of the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. CAD may become worse and make it harder to manage your symptoms.
After performing certain tests your doctor may feel that opening a narrowed or blocked blood vessel will improve your heart failure symptoms. Suggested procedures may include:
Blood that flows between the chambers of your heart, or out of your heart into the aorta, must pass through a heart valve. These valves open enough to allow blood to flow through. They then close, keeping blood from flowing backward.
When these valves do not work well, blood does not flow correctly through the heart to the body. This problem may cause heart failure or make heart failure worse.
Heart valve surgery may be needed to repair or replace one of the valves.
Some types of surgery are done for severe heart failure when other treatments no longer work. These procedures are often used when a person is waiting for a heart transplant .
You may need a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) if you have severe heart failure that cannot be controlled with medicine or a special pacemaker.
Intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) help maintain heart function in people who are waiting for transplants. They can also help patients who have a sudden and severe decline in heart function. The IABP is a thin, implanted balloon. Most often, it is inserted into the artery in the leg and threaded into the artery leading from the heart (aorta).

Possibly the worst latte ever courtesy of whole foods. It was a 10 second gusher shot - sour as hell. The shame of it is that Whole Foods bought a really nice Nuovo Simonelli machine and quality grinders, but then apparently gives zero training to the people using it. If you aren't going to hire and train the right people, places are better off with a push button superautomatic - a la starbucks to eliminate the human factor.
My search for a new go-to coffee led me to Red Bird Espresso. I'm using a Clever Coffee Dripper to brew it (no espresso machine here). I think the description from the Red Bird Coffee web site is spot on: "Rich, balanced and aromatic, this espresso starts with a distinct hazelnut-chocolate aroma and progresses to sweet chocolate, roasted nut and caramel flavors in the cup, with subtle citric acidity. It finishes with a rich and lingering aftertaste. When used with other brewing methods, citrus and dried fruit notes add to the complexity and depth."Some people have commented that it is like drinking a Snickers bar (which goes too far for me). I'm loving this coffee. Almost makes waking up early worthwhile. ALMOST .Barry

Tessent for 3D-IC Test
Three-dimensional stacked integrated circuits (3D-ICs) are composed of multiple stacked die, and are viewed as critical in helping the semiconductor industry keep pace with Moore's Law. Current integration and interconnect methods include wire bond and flip-chip and have been in production for some time.
The next generation of 3D integration incorporates through-silicon-via (TSV) technology as the primary method of interconnect between the die. The migration to 3D-ICs connected by TSVs presents three new test challenges to the industry:
- Managing the escape rate of defective die at wafer test to meet target post-packaging yield.
- Testing memory die stacked on logic die configurations.
- Testing logic stacked on logic die configurations.
The Tessent® silicon test and yield analysis solutions provide a comprehensive set of design-for-test (DFT) capabilities that address the known-good-die testing challenges. These include the industry-leading solutions for ATPG, compression, logic BIST, memory BIST, boundary scan, mixed-signal BIST and silicon learning.
Testing Stacked Memory-on-Logic
Using Tessent' s integrated hierarchical test capabilities, high-quality tests can be implemented for stacked logic and memory die. Tessent MemoryBIST provides at-speed testing of stacked memory die with support for all popular DRAM protocols, including those supporting the common JEDEC WideIO interface standard. This allows memory BIST controllers in a logic die to handle a variety of memory die stacked on top for different product variations.
Tessent also supports at-speed testing of memory buses, which covers both bond wires and TSV interconnects. A shared-bus capability enables test of multiple memory die on the same interconnect.
Testing Stacked Logic-on-Logic
For logic-on-logic stacks, the Tessent hierarchical test capabilities are used to test the stacked die and the TSV interconnects. The ATPG and BIST tests that were generated for single die testing are reused, saving test development times. The patterns are re-sequenced as required to ensure correct pattern distribution and application across multiple die.
The Tessent hierarchical ATPG solution is used to test TSVs between logic die. These TSVs are assumed to exist between the boundaries of scan isolated cores on neighboring die. Test patterns are generated using the full package netlist where a gray box model is used for non-targeted die and/or cores.
By using a combination of hierarchical test architecture, high compression scan testing, and BIST technologies, the Mentor Graphics Tessent solution provides the highest quality and most economical 3D-IC testing available.
Tessent TestKompress®
DFT insertion and automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) with high compression.
Tessent MemoryBIST
Built-in self-test for embedded memories.
Tessent LogicBIST

College access is taking center stage on the national education policy scene, and College Summit has a large role to play as evidenced by the following events/activities:
Thought Leadership
2013: SMART SHOPPERS: The end of the "College for All" debate, provides high-level recommendations for government, educators, and business to help parents and students become "smart, discerning shoppers."
2011: Seizing the Measurement Moment, reports the progress each state has made in getting data into the hands of parents, educators and policymakers and makes recommendations for all states to ensure they are aligned and making progress on their college and career-ready goals.
2009: The Promise of Proficiency focuses on using postsecondary outcome data to drive high school reform.
2008: High Schools as Launch Pads highlights the importance of building a college-going culture in order to improve student achievement and attainment.
Elementary and Secondary Education Act Recommendations
When reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Congress has the opportunity to support state and district efforts to leverage postsecondary data to improve student achievement. In addition to continued support for the development of state longitudinal data systems, Congress should respond to community and parent demand for postsecondary outcome data.
Recommendation #1: Parent-Centered Measures
Place in the hands of parents and communities a top-tier set of reporting measures on the issues parents care most about – easy to understand, meaningful outcome measures that inform parents and communities on the progress of their children's schools:
• Math / English Achievement
• High School Graduation
• College Enrollment
• Credit Accumulation
Recommendation #2: Reward High Schools for Postsecondary Progress
Through competitive grant programs and incentive/reward programs, reward states and K-12 districts that improve students' postsecondary achievement. In addition, allow states to select "postsecondary outcomes" as one of the required categories of improvement/diagnoses indicators for school improvement.
Social Innovation Fund
College Summit supports federal policies that identify innovation, invest wisely, and release civic energy to solve today's pressing social problems. A core focus of this support is for the Social Innovation Fund (SIF), a public-private investment partnership established under the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act in 2009. The SIF is administered by the Corporation for National and Community Service and designed to leverage philanthropic support to invest in intermediary grant making organizations. These organizations then fund effective portfolios of nonprofit organizations to help them grow to serve more low-income communities.

Sony phones | Sony Xperia Miro review
Compact & slimline designSony is busy launching Android phones left, right and centre in 2012, and we're busy liking them. The Miro is another one to like, and in fact it's one of the best entry-level smartphones we've reviewed. The Miro is almost exactly the same size as the mid-range Xperia U, but it's a couple of millimetres thinner, making it very easy to handle. It's a smart-looking handset available in a range of colours, and with a new-style LED light located just above the XPERIA logo below the screen. The light flashes discreetly to notify you of messages, facebook updates and other events and can be customised to your preferences. You can even change the colour of the light. The Miro is large enough for a 3.5 inch screen, which is the same size as rivals like the HTC Desire C and Samsung Galaxy Ace. The screen is a standard LCD display with a decent 320x480 resolution and benefiting from an anti-reflection coating. Ice Cream SandwichThe Miro runs Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) which isn't quite the latest release, but isn't far off. An upgrade to 4.1 (Jelly Bean) is on the cards for later in 2012. Like other Xperia phones, the Miro has been customised with Sony's Timescape app which integrates your communications into a single place, including facebook, twitter, email and texts. Facebook is closely integrated into the user interface, so you can easily share photos and music with friends. The photo album app lets you share photos on facebook and see likes and comments directly from the app. Similarly the music player lets you share your music tastes and see what others like. The calendar app automatically displays birthdays and other events from facebook. Photos & videoThe Miro has a high quality 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and a pulsed LED flash for extra brightness in low lighting. It can record video at VGA resolution and 30 frames per second. A second VGA front-facing camera can be used for self-portraits or for video chatting. The 3.5 inch screen isn't the biggest for watching videos or viewing photos, but it does the job. MusicSony phones have always enjoyed a great reputation for music and the Miro is no exception. The music player app is fully featured and sound quality is good, with a manual equaliser available for fine tuning plus Sony's xLOUD feature, which does what its name suggests and pumps up the volume on your speakers! TrackID can recognise a music track and identify the song and artist for you. Sony's subscription service, Music Unlimited, gives you access to a large library of music which can be listened to offline. Good connectivityThe Miro is a 3G phone with fast HSPA data capability. It also has Wi-Fi for even faster data access in a Wi-Fi zone, and it can function as a Wi-Fi hotspot itself, enabling other Wi-Fi devices to connect to the internet. It also supports Bluetooth and USB connectivity. DLNA lets you stream images or video to a compatible TV. You can also use it to stream music wirelessly to a hifi. A 3.5mm audio jack lets you plug in a standard-fit headset. The only thing missing is NFC, which doesn't yet feature on any phones at this price point. Processing powerRemember that the Miro is an entry-level smartphone and you won't be disappointed by the less-than-sparkling 800MHz processor. It's enough to power a phone of this type, although it doesn't give the ultrafast responsiveness of an Xperia T for example. Memory is generous, with 4GB of built-in storage, although only 2GB is available to the user. For additional storage you can add a 32GB microSD memory card and there's an additional 50GB of cloud storage available if you want it. Strong battery lifeAll smartphones drain battery power at an alarming rate, but Sony understand this and have equipped the Miro with a big 1500mAh battery. It's the kind of battery that typically powers much higher-end smartphones, and that means that it's more than adequate for the Miro. You ought to be able to go for a couple of days between charges even if you're a moderate to heavy user. Conclusion - an impressive low-cost smartphoneFor an entry-level smartphone, the Xperia Miro does all we could ask of it and more. It's a better phone that the similarly-priced Tipo. The 3.5 inch screen is as big as most rivals, and offers a crisp display while keeping the phone compact, slim and lightweight. The 5 megapixel camera is excellent, and while it lacks HD video recording, it does offer a secondary VGA camera for video chat. The Ice Cream Sandwich operating system works well, and we like Sony's tweaks to the user interface, especially the close facebook integration. The onboard memory is generous, and the cloud storage is a welcome bonus. Connectivity is excellent, and the battery life is a particular strength of the phone. If there's one thing that feels a bit mediocre, it's the rather lacklustre 800MHz processor, and for that reason you may prefer the Sony Xperia U or the HTC Desire X.

Looper(5-2) vs Sonnanstine(5-1)
Wainwright(3-2) vs Garza(2-1)
Lohse(3-2) vs Jackson(2-3)
Lohse's start is in question due to a sore throwing shoulder. Mike Parisi would replace him in the rotation for his Sunday start.
Tonight's Matchup:
Scouting Report:
Rays: Sonnanstine had picked up wins in four consecutive starts prior to Sunday's outing against the Angels, when he allowed five runs on eight hits while walking two to take a no-decision. Sonnanstine's best pitch is the slider, but in order for him to pitch well, he needs to locate his fastball to set up the vast array of pitches he throws from all different angles. He is 3-0 with a 4.05 ERA in three road starts this season. This will be his first career start against the Cardinals.
Cardinals: Looper skipped his side session after working 8 1/3 innings in the thin Colorado air the start before, but he said he felt physically fine when he allowed four runs in six innings against Milwaukee. He struggled keeping the ball down, and Ryan Braun took advantage by smacking two home runs in the Cardinals' 5-3 loss. Looper only walked one and hit another batter -- but both of those scored in the first inning to spot the Brewers an early lead.

WISDOM ON A GLOBAL SCALE H+K Strategies offers senior counsel, insightful research and strategic communications planning throughout the world. We have over 87 offices around the globe, and our clients represent 59 of Interbrand's 2013 Top 100 Global Brands. Fifty percent of global Fortune 500 companies have chosen to work with our firm, and our relationship with WPP - one of the world's largest communications groups - gives us an unmatched worldwide presence. Our firm has been in the wisdom business for close to 90 years, and our world-class teams of trusted advisors and creative experts have a wealth of experience in strengthening brands, reputations and bottom lines. Our teams collaborate across time zones, languages and cultures to engage in public conversations that help clients make solid decisions and craft compelling messages. THE PUBLIC'S SEAT AT THE TABLE To achieve success in today's business environment, companies must look beyond traditional sources of insight and advice. We believe in the importance of the public, and our wisdom about that area is as actionable as traditional counsel regarding management, finance or law. Our goal is to put the public back into public relations, and that charge shapes every area of our practice. On a global scale, the public is now connected in ways that put the reputations of corporations, institutions, products and high-profile individuals in its hands. There is no longer simply a target audience to be reached and persuaded, nor distinct "publics" to deal with individually. They are now a collective, united force that must be factored into decisions made at the highest levels of leadership.

You allow slugs? I haven't the heart to salt them...yet...but that point is coming soon. For the moment, I just pick them up and throw them. I'm hoping they'll learn and teach the other slugs. They have plenty of food. They don't need to eat what I've planted.

Don't look now, but you're being followed. You have been, in fact, since the day you were born. The good news is that the people following you are doctors, nurses, and other health care providers. And the way they're tracking you is on paper, through your personal medical history.
Each time you hop up on a doctor's exam table or roll up your sleeve for a blood draw, somebody makes a note of it in your medical records. All that scribbling adds up over time. Even if you're the healthiest person alive, you'll still manage to accumulate crate upon crate of paperwork by your 21st birthday.
Chances are you won't ever pore over all those pages. But there might come a time when you want to get information from your medical records: Maybe you'll need to provide your college or new job with a record of immunizations before you can start. Or perhaps you want a new doctor to know your full medical history.
As you start taking charge of your own medical care, it helps to know what's in your medical records, how you can get them when you need to, who else is allowed to see them, and what laws are in place to keep them private.
You might picture your medical records as one big file in a central storage facility somewhere. But actually they're in lots of different places. Each specialist who treats you keeps his or her own file, and each of these is part of your medical records.
Your medical records contain the basics, like your name and your date of birth. They also include the information you give to your family physician, dentist, or other specialist during an examination.
You know how doctors often ask a series of questions — like about how you're feeling that day or your family medical history? Well, all of your answers go into your doctors' records, along with the results of any medical exams, test results, treatments, medications, and any notes doctors make about you and your health.
Medical records aren't just about your physical health. They also include mental health care. So if you went to family therapy back when you were 6 and your parents were divorcing, it will be somewhere in your records.
U.S. law gives patients the right to see, get copies of, and sometimes even change their medical records.
If you're younger than 18, your parent or guardian will probably need to ask for copies of medical records on your behalf. However, more states are allowing minors to take charge of their own health services, so ask your doctor, hospital, or health system about what access you have to your records.
Medical records — particularly test results or imaging studies like X-rays — can be confusing for people who aren't trained in reading them. Something that might look scary on an X-ray or MRI might be nothing to worry about. So if you do look at your records on your own, keep that in mind and ask a doctor if you have questions.
Start by figuring out who has the information you want. If it's dental information you're after, contact your dentist's office. If it's a general health issue, you'll probably want to talk to your family doctor.
When it comes to requesting medical records, different providers have different ways of doing things. Some might ask you to fill out an authorization form. If so, you'll want to be ready with information like this:
A health care provider's office might charge a fee to cover the cost of having someone make copies. Some offices put test results and imaging studies on a CD-ROM. You'll probably have to pay for mailing the records to you or another doctor (if you won't be picking them up in person).
The law gives health care providers up to 30 days to provide copies of medical records, but almost all health care organizations supply records a lot faster than that. Most people get their non-critical care records within 5 to 10 business days. If records are needed faster — like when a patient needs medical treatment — the health care provider holding the records usually releases them immediately.
If you need to get records for non-emergency situations (such as switching to a new doctor), it's safest to give plenty of notice. Let the medical provider who has your records know that you'd like copies a few weeks ahead of any appointments with your new health care provider.
They can — but it almost never happens. When it does, it's because a doctor's office is trying to protect a patient's privacy or safety. For example, they may withhold medical information if they're not sure the person requesting the records has a right to see them. Or they may not release records if they think it will lead to the patient being harmed.
If health care providers deny access to records, they must give the reasons why in writing within 30 days. If any request for medical information is denied, a patient has the right to ask for the decision to be reviewed again.
If you notice something missing or something you think is wrong in your medical records, you have the right to request a correction. Ask your doctor's office to explain how they handle changes to your records and what you need to do to request a change. The law gives health care providers 60 days to make the changes or deny the request.
Your information can be used and shared with the following people or groups, when needed:
Parents have access to their kids' medical records until the child is 18. However, many states now allow doctors to decide whether or not they disclose certain information to parents — like about sexual health or substance abuse, for example. The law also states that parents no longer have access to their teens' health records if they agree to let them have a confidential relationship with their doctors.
Most hospitals or doctors make every effort to protect patients' privacy when it comes to sensitive information that's in their medical records. Sometimes a health care provider will feel that it's not in the best interest of the patient to release information to parents, even when a child is younger than 18.
For mental health records (such as the notes a therapist takes during counseling sessions) the age when parents no longer have access to a child's medical records is 15 or 16, depending on the state.
After you reach 18, your parents cannot see your records — by law. For some people, that may not be a problem. It may even seem like a good thing! But what if you have a health problem and need your parents to make decisions about your care if something happens? If you want your parents to have access to your records after 18, you'll need to sign a document authorizing them to do so, just as you would with anyone else.
It's a great idea. Many health care experts recommend that patients keep their own medical summaries or Personal Medical Records (PMRs). That way, they can bring them along on visits to specialists, new doctors, or even an unexpected trip to the emergency room.
Your PMR should include the following information:
Once you compile your PMR, you can keep it up to date by requesting test results and other medical records as they come up in the future. If you keep your PMR electronically, you can store a copy of it on a flash drive so it's always with you (if you do this, it's a good idea to password-protect it).

*Shad's mind*
*cue birds-eye view of the labyrinth that is Shad's mind. The walls are a dark slate-gray and the floor so black you feel like you're standing on a pit. Scene zooms to the center of the maze, a huge circle with access to the 4 entrances into the maze. In that circle sat a boy. A boy who watches over his host. A boy who makes sure a certain tragedy doesn't repeat itself. A boy who, save the red eyes, looks exactly like a certain other white-haired boy. The one who is, at this very moment, monitoring his host's dreams via a floating square screen. The one who calls himself...Shad's "other half"*
???: Shad. You miss them very much so, despite their past accusations towards your parents. It's almost as if you're not in the soothing state of sleep, the process of which you can enter your own world, you seem dreary, dull, without rapture. You may have the chance you wanted by finally living in the same city as them...but has your heart grown so heavy with sorrow that you no longer care?
*scene shifts to Shad's dream. A meadow covered in pastel green grass stretches farther then the eye can see. There are a few trees here and there surrounded by flower beds. At a distant part of the meadow, there's a large blanket on the ground. On it is a green boom box and various snacks next to it. The people using it however, happen to be 2 little girls. Each of them is wearing a t-shirt of their respective colors of pink and green with hearts on them and blue shorts. One girl with pink eyes has red hair tied and held onto by a hairclip with a big heart on it whereas the other girl has emerald eyes and has black hair. She was singing a song via the mic connected to the boom box*
- Tooku Tooku Omoi hatenaku
Futari ga Mujaki ni waratteta
Ano koro ni modoreru nara...
Blossom: That's good Buttercup.
Buttercup: Yeah whatever.
Bubbles' voice and Shad's voice: We're back!
*Blossom and Buttercup look up at the clear dodger-blue sky and see a streak of blue light. The source of the streak, a girl with blue eyes and pigtails donning a blue shirt with a heart on it coupled with the blue shorts. She descends next to her sisters, carrying Shad who was, in turn, holding a bunch of apples*
Shad: Will this much do?
Blossom: This much?!
Buttercup: We can make even more snacks with this!
Blossom: What kind?
Buttercup: Apple pie, apple cake, caramel apple, candied apple, I heard you can BBQ it too...*goes off into indistinct chatter*
Bubbles: Isn't it pretty Shaddy?
Shad: Not as pretty as you Bubbles.
Bubbles: *giggles*
Shad: Hey, what's so funny? *takes a bite out of an apple*
Bubbles: You always think I'm prettier then everything.
Shad: *takes a daisy out of a flower bed and inserts it into Bubbles' hair* There, now everything's pretty equally.
Bubbles: You're so silly. *lightly pushes Shad down, causing him to roll off a hill*
Shad: WHEEEEEEEE!
Bubbles: Hey, that looks fun! *Bubbles follows suit until they stop at the bottom* That was fun!
Shad: It's always fun when you and your sisters are around.
Bubbles: Really?
Shad: Of course!
Bubbles: We're best friends! Always have and always will. No matter what.
Shad: No matter what? So won't leave me...right?
Bubbles: It's not that I want to, but stuff always happen.
Shad: Not here! Out of all 3 of you, I like you the most! You're the cutest.
Bubbles: *blushes* Aw, stop it.
Shad: There was something I wanted to do for a long time...I just don't know if I should do it now.
Bubbles: Huh?
Shad: Can you...can you close your eyes for a second? Please?
Bubbles: Okay! *closes eyes*
Shad: Ever since I said I liked you, I've always wanted to know if you liked me back. And this...I hope I get this right.
*Shad draws his head closer to Bubbles, preparing to kiss her. But just when his lips are inches away from hers, she turns into mist! In fact, everything around him goes all misty!*
Shad: AHH! What's happening!
???: Shad! Shad!
*Shad's eyelids started to get heavy, then collapses on the ground...or lack of one. In seconds, he feels someone shaking him and opens his eyes, the first thing coming into his vision is none other then...Claire Staydamind*
Claire: Shad, we're here.
Shad: Wha? *gets himself up and looks out the window* We're still moving.
Dimitri: But we're here, aren't we? Look to your right.
Shad: *turns to the right window and sees a large building with a big clock at the top center* That's what people call a university?
Dimitri: Not quite. Megasville University is a little far off. That's Megasville Elementary.
Shad: HUH?! THAT'S an elementary school?! But it's so...so...
Claire: Big?
Shad: Yeah!
Claire: That means it's good for you.
Dimitri: We'll get you a pamphlet of that later.
*the car continues to drive through the large urban area. It's almost bigger then Townsville and has subway stations, parks, and just about everything else you'd expect in a metropolis. Eventually they finally make it into the suburban area and finally, stop at their designated house. The moving truck behind them follows suit and opens the back door as the truck driver begins to unload the cargo*
Claire: *steps out of the car* Home sweet home!
Dimitri: *checks his watch, which says 5:43PM* It won't be home until we fill it up.
Shad: *follows Claire as he takes his Bubbles plushie off the car floor* I'll help.
Claire: Now now, you helped enough when we were packing up.
Dimitri: And you still look a little drowsy. You might want to walk it off.
Shad: *yawns* Okay. I won't take too long.
Dimitri: Good boy. Now first things first. *tries to pull out the box holding the bed*
Claire: Shouldn't we get the other...
Dimitri: *grunts* No! The bed is the most important piece of furniture.
Truck driver: *pulls the box with ease* I got this.
Dimitri: No, I got this! * puts a few small boxes containing his and Claire's clothing and grabs hold of a corner* That'll get the work done faster.
Truck driver: Hey, don't tell me how to do my job!
Dimitri: I'm not. It's called convenience.
Claire: Hold on there, it's tipping! *takes another corner as all 3 of them carry the large box inside the house*
Shad: Guess they have it under control. Now...
*Shad closes the door of the car and starts to walk down the spotless concrete street. He barely even goes past his own home until he sees a very peculiar house*
Shad: Huh? Weird. This house looks different then the others.
*Shad takes a closer look at the house. It only takes a second for him to notice a very odd feature: 3 circle windows at the top!*
Shad: Circle windows? Why does that...No. They live here but right next door? What are the odds of...
*Shad stands on his tip-toes a bit, then notices that he sees pink walls through the windows!*
Shad: *gasps* PINK! I only know 1, no, 3 people who have pink wallpaper! But how? I was a bit surprised when they were right across the street, but...but for them to be RIGHT NEXT DOOR?! Calm down. There's only one way for me to find out. But if it is them...what will I say?
*Shad slowly walks to to the front door of the home that houses the 3 girls he admires so. He stops there and curls his right hand into a fist, which starts to shake a little*
Shad: *shaking* B-b-b-but what if they don't like me anymore? After what I said? They might move away again...because of m-m-me. What if they forgot about me? It's been a year since I saw them. A year isn't that long...is it? Then again, I felt hurt the day Bubbles said she had to go. That hurt felt like it was there forever, so maybe a year is a long time. Better knock just to make sure. 3...2...
*before Shad can say the last number, he heard a sound. A sound of a car coming his way*
Shad: Our car? But we just...*turns around, then gasps, his eyes opening up widely at what he sees*
*in the street a white car makes its way to its driveway. But it's not the car that Shad got all uppity about. It was who's inside the car. He put on his glasses and his guess is confirmed: Driving the car is a man with black hair and a square head wearing a lab coat. In the backseat...the 3 friends of Shad Staydamind. 3 girls. 3 of his most favored heroes. One redhead, one black hair, and the one he admired the most...one blond with pigtails. The car is starting to slow down a bit and Shad knew very well why*
Shad: *starts to hyperventilate a little* H-h-h-h-h-how?! What...what were the...the odds of...of...THIS?! I can't let them see me! Not here!
*Shad tries to run back in his parents' car to hide, but he's so nervous that even his legs stopped working! He only stood there as...*
*inside the car*
Buttercup: *holding a picture of herself in a soccer uniform holding a soccer ball. The frame is etched with the words: Most Valuable Soccer Player* So? I think someone owes me a little something.
Blossom: Owe you what?
Buttercup: You said if I can hold up being in a sports team for a month while getting good enough grades to stay in the team you'd give me 5 dollars AND do my chores for the rest of the semester.
Bubbles: Blossom, you said all that?
Blossom: Ugh. I did. But if weren't for that sports team you wouldn't even have the grades you have now.
Professor Utonium: Now now, no need to fret Blossom. What matters is that Buttercup is motivated to do well in sch...*sees a certain little boy next to the driveway*...sweet...Stephan...Hawking.
Bubbles: Who?
Buttercup: *looks out the window* What, you see a shoo...*mouth agape* Uh...Bubbles?
Bubbles: Yeah?
Buttercup: You might want to see this. I mean REALLY wanna see this!
*the car finally slows down and parks at the driveway. The professor gets out and finally confirms who he saw. The girls, too, are surprised to see the same boy they knew all the way back in Townsville...one year ago. Everything was silent, Shad still a bit shaky, until...*
Bubbles: ........................Shaddy?
Buttercup: Shad! Long time no see!
Blossom: So you came to visit after all.
*inside Shad's new home*
Claire: Whew. Don't know how we did it, but we have our room set.
Dimitri: Yeah, we still have the kitchen and Shad's room. *as soon as he opens the door, Dimitri sees Shad zooming inside the house and up the stairs, as if someone was chasing him* Shad?
Claire: Now what was...*looks down on the floor and sees a small trail of dark spots*...tears? What happened to him?
Dimitri: *hears a knock on the door* Must be the new neighbors. *looks through the doorhole (or whatever it is you call those things that let you see who's at your door without leaving the house) and sees the most unexpected thing: 3 little girls and an old friend* Oooooooookay...that explains a lot.

The Long View
A sunny breakfast nook occupies the end of this St. Paul, Minn., kitchen by Albertsson Hansen Architecture.
Adan Torres
A paneled, bookshelf-lined opening links the kitchen to a storage-friendly mudroom.
Architect Todd Hansen emphasized the kitchen's horizontality by using extra-long hardware and drawer fronts as well as a 12 and a half foot-long island.

Builder: Harry Jensen Construction, Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn.: Architect: Albertsson Hansen Architecture, Minneapolis; Structural engineer: A.M. Structural Engineering, River Falls, Wis.; Living space: 319 square feet (kitchen); Construction cost: Withheld; Photographer: Adan Torres. / Resources: Ceiling fan: Fanimation; Dishwasher: Bosch; Fittings/fixtures: Blanco; Hardware: Top Knobs; Microwave: Sharp; Paints: Benjamin Moore; Range hood: Vent-A-Hood; Refrigerator: Jenn-Air; Stove/range: Viking; Tile: Royal Mosa; Windows: Marvin
The existing kitchen in this 1920s house lacked size, natural light, and a logical connection to the outdoors. So, as part of a larger renovation, architect Todd Hansen opted to more than double the room's square footage by extending it 18 feet into the backyard. The St. Paul, Minn., home sits very close to the property line on its west side, but Hansen managed to bump out part of that wall by 11 inches, gaining enough width to fit an island into the kitchen. He also added on a generously sized mudroom that helps organize clutter and improves the overall connection to the yard.
By emphasizing the kitchen's long, narrow shape, Hansen turned its unusual proportions into an asset. "We tried to play up the length with things we did in the design," he says. "All the horizontal elements are exaggerated." At 12 and a half feet, the island is longer than usual, as are the kitchen's drawer fronts, cabinet handles, and 12-inch subway tiles. And a 10-foot-long piece of steel affixed to the east wall acts as a magnetic frame for children's art.
Throughout the kitchen and its surrounding areas, this theme of framed objects continues. Open shelving and glass cabinets provide display space for housewares, while bookshelves and ceiling panels line the room's two major entrances. Wall and ceiling panels also set off the tiled bay along the west wall. And painted molding outlines the breakfast nook, turning it into another framed element in this skillfully knit composition.
These kitchens and baths are classic, lovely, and thoroughly modern all at the same time.
