Syphilis is bacteria infection that is most often spread through sexual contact.
Primary syphilis; Secondary syphilis; Late syphilis; Tertiary syphilis
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted, infectious disease caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum. This bacterium causes infection when it gets into broken skin or mucus membranes, usually of the genitals. Syphilis is most often transmitted through sexual contact, although it also can be transmitted in other ways.
Syphilis occurs worldwide. Syphilis is more common in urban areas, and the number of cases is rising fastest in men who have sex with men. Young adults ages 15 - 25 are the highest-risk population. People have no natural resistance to syphilis.
Because people may be unaware that they are infected with syphilis, many states require tests for syphilis before marriage. All pregnant women who receive prenatal care should be screened for syphilis to prevent the infection from passing to their newborn (congenital syphilis).
Syphilis has three stages:
Secondary syphilis, tertiary syphilis, and congenital syphilis are not seen as often in the United States as they were in the past because of the availability of:
Symptoms of primary syphilis are:
The bacteria continue to grow in the body, but there are few symptoms until the second stage.
Secondary syphilis symptoms may include:
Symptoms of tertiary syphilis depend on which organs have been affected. They vary widely and are difficult to diagnose. Symptoms include:
Syphilis can be treated with antibiotics, such as penicillin G benzathine, doxycycline, or tetracycline (for patients who are allergic to penicillin). Length of treatment depends on how severe the syphilis is, and factors such as the patient's overall health.
For treating syphilis during pregnancy, penicillin is the drug of choice. Tetracycline cannot be used because it is dangerous to the unborn baby. Erythromycin may not prevent congenital syphilis in the baby. People who are allergic to penicillin should ideally be desensitized to it, and then treated with penicillin.
Several hours after getting treatment for the early stages of syphilis, people may experience Jarish-Herxheimer reaction. This is caused by an immune reaction to the breakdown products of the infection.
Symptoms and signs of this reaction include:
These symptoms usually disappear within 24 hours.
Follow-up blood tests must be done at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months to ensure that the infection is gone. Avoid sexual contact when the chancre is present, and use condoms until two follow-up tests have indicated that the infection has been cured.
All sexual partners of the person with syphilis should also be treated. Syphilis is extremely contagious in the primary and secondary stages.
Syphilis can be cured if it is diagnosed early and completely treated.
Secondary syphilis can be cured if it is diagnosed early and treated effectively. Although it usually goes away within weeks, in some cases it may last for up to 1 year. Without treatment, up to one-third of patients will have late complications of syphilis.
Late syphilis may be permanently disabling, and it may lead to death.
In addition, untreated secondary syphilis during pregnancy may spread the disease to the developing baby. This is called congenital syphilis.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of syphilis.
If you have had intimate contact with a person who has syphilis or any other STI, or have engaged in any high-risk sexual practices, including having multiple or unknown partners or using intravenous drugs, contact your doctor or nurse, or get screened in an STI clinic.
If you are sexually active, practice safe sex and always use a condom.
All pregnant women should be screened for syphilis.

The world economy has been in the doldrums—both stagnant and sluggish, by all accounts. In turn, military and aerospace (mil/aero) forecasts have indicated steady if not significant decline.
Defense budgets have been reduced in the U.S. and U.K., but bolstered in other locales. Just this year, in fact, a wealth of countries—including, in no particular order, China, India, Iraq, Japan, Russia, and Saudi Arabia—are reported to have growing militaries.
Whereas military investments have waned, commercial aerospace has been (pardon the pun) taking off. This month, NASA officials announced preparations for a 2020 mission to Mars; this singular space exploration mission is expected to translate to $100 million in industry contract awards—a tremendous opportunity for mil/aero businesses, technology advancement, and the aerospace community as a whole.
On 18 July 2013, Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) announced that the House Appropriations Committee had passed a Commerce, Justice, and Science appropriations package for Fiscal Year 2014 that included $1.315 billion for planetary science within NASA's budget. The amount of the package is particularly interesting; earlier this year, the Obama Administration submitted a request for a $1.217 billion for planetary science—a full $100 million less than the amount approved for the planetary science budget.
"The NASA portion of the bill that was just passed goes a long way towards plugging the funding shortfall that threatens our leadership in the exploration of the solar system," says Rep. Schiff.
Things certainly are looking up for space, it seems. This mil/aero geek will stop his use of bad puns, but will continue the budget and Mars mission discussion in the next installment.

& *. t �� The College News 'OL.XIV jjajfcfcfc BRYN MAWR (AND WAYNE). PA.. WEDNESDAY. MAY 16.1928 PRICE 10-CENTS VASSAR DESCENDS, VARSITY DECAMPS Bryn Mawr Loses All One Match to the Visitors. - But DOUBLES A WALKOVER Sennacherib came down like a wolf on .the fold, hut this time he was disguised under a tasteful spring lamb's skin. And what are spring lambs wearing this year? White dresses, bare legs, and bright short socks, These ruthless in- vaders swept down from the North and before we could say anything'more than "good shot!" we were quite completely gobbled up. Only one succulent gobbet was left, and that was Carla Swan's match Which she won in straight sets. Otherwise we were swallowed up with painful efficiency, although Barbara Humphries caused some severe convul- sions of the grisly beast's gorge before she followed the rest down the little red lane. * Frances Bethel, '28, playing number one for us, was beaten 6-2,.6-3 by Vir- ginia Platt, Vassar's number one player. ' The game was in reality much closer than the. score would .seem to indicate. '. It was a contest of hard drives and long back-court rallies in which Miss Platt's superior steadiness won out almost every time. Miss Bethel played a good game, but her opponent's driving was harder and her placing far more accurate. Miss Platt successfully seized every oppor- tunity of coming up to the net, and also successfully passed Miss Bethel on the rare occasions when she tried the same tactics. Miss Platt played the Western game-of waiting longer for the ball and using the same grip for both back and forehand shots. May Day? Yes! The college has declared itseff < overwhelmingly in favor of a repetition of Big May Day in 19:t0, according to the College News poll taken last week. Of the approximately four' hundred votes recorded, only two were uncompromisingly opposed to continuing the tradition. One suggested holding some sort of large scale celebration while varying its character: perhaps a Spanish carnival instead of an Elizabethan May Day. But ninety-nine per cent, wanted to see Queen Elizabeth back on the campus unchanged. Smoke in Town Change hi Rule Largely Effected by the Retiring Board. ' ,.-.. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 New League Meets Reports Made and Heads of De- partments Elected for Next Year. On Wednesday evening. Miy 9, a meet- ing was held of what was then called the "new Organization," which has since then attained to the dignity and distinc- tion of a rear name�The Bryn Mawr League. After a few introductory words from R. Biddle, the president of the League, the business of the meeting, namely, the reports of the three groups and the choosing of a name, was taken. The first report was that of S. Brad- ley. Head of Worship, ^fiss Bradley explained the plan for next year by which we are to have five regular chapel services�that is, five servpes led by out- side ministers during the year. For this the League is anxious to secure men who are of the greatest interest to the �student body, and so would welcome any suggestions. In addition to these serv- ices there will be other less formal ones, as many as we wish. They will be led �/ *Xi6enti Q�-1n��3^ers of the faculty,, and will consist of short talks, readings, and organ and Choir music. In connection with *he music it has been decided that the choir mistress should be on Miss Bradley's committee so as to facilitate the arrangement of the musi- cal services. The committee will also have charge of the Maids' Sunday School. New Arrangement for Ministers. O.-Stokes, Head of Discussion, has. as she said in her report, arranged with the Worship Graup that the ministers who come to hold the chapel services should, whenever possible, stay over Sunday night and Monday in order to meet the Discussion Group. He would � perhaps speak in chapel Monday morning, and a tea would be given for him in the afternoon. Thus those who were inter- ested would have the opportunity of talk- ing to him in small groups, and of meet- ing him informally. Two hostesses were chosen to entertain the guests of the League, M. Martin and H. Thomas. Miss Stokes said that a question-box CONTINUED ON PAOB � Faculty Loses to Varsity Despite Startling Goal One can not say that the Varsity team beat the Faculty without adding at once that the Faculty made one startling goal! The combat between the teams, which took place Monday afternoon, was in- tensely interesting, and the onlookers were breathless with excitement most, of the time. The moments- not included in the word "most" were devoted to occa- sional laughter. We were certainly en- tertained ! The game began with Varsity on a rush for a goal, but they did not realize what opposition they had in the Faculty and it was some time before they scored. Seely and Buck and Hart worked won- ders in the hackfield, and, Fieser and Sloan on the forward line turned out to be dashing players. Dr. Fieser won our admiration at the very beginning, for such clever tactics arc not often seen in hockey. He showed a tendency to sit upon the ball when a presuming under- graduate got too close to him, and he was very deft at abandoning the stick for the more practical use of the hand, lie made several spectacular runs down the field, and showed remarkable ability in stopping hits. �;� Dr. Diez also applied the intelligence to the sport. He found that, the ball could cover ground in a fray most eftsily when kicked. He fought valiantly against Guiterman, who can cover ground at an amazing rate herself. Dr. Hart and Blanchard had several little combats on the side. They had a greav deal of trouble at" some moments in mak- ing up the ball's mind as to its owner. The second half was marked by a great many long shots. Wills and Guiter- man fought hard for the honor of the home team, and Hirshberg was invulner- able as a back. Dr. Fieser and Buck were the only two who could push their rapid way through her. Varsity had made only one goal the second half when Lanman dramatically scored one for the Faculty! There was a momentary halt in the game while the players overcame their emotions. The end was soon reached with the Varsity triumphant with a score,.of 6-1. But the Faculty DID make one goal�and they deserved it! Their swiftness and fierce- ness thrilled us all. For a while we thought we had May Day upon us again. The audience w�c quite sure we were once more in the midst of our Elizabethan revels. Buck and Bartle appeared with Harvesters' Hats shading their brows by means of their ample and costumed- brims, and Seely outdid herself in Tumbling. Even Euclio came down to see the finish, looking precisely as important as he did in Midsummer's Night Dream. All we lacked was a Fury or two to remove the dead at the end of the game, or poor Miss Sloan, who received "external in- juries" on the shin during the first half. The line-up: Fowler..........R.

This striking change in the smoking rules was adopted by the Association at a meeting in Taylor Hall on May 9. The lisf of places where students may eat after the theater in Philadelphia was also extended to include Child's on Chestnut street" and on ;Broad street, Whitman's on Chestnut street and Huyler's. . Rosamond Cross, President of the executive board, remarked in proposing the amendment to Resolution X that the chief credit for the new rule should go to the old -board, whose efforts are largely responsible for the generous stand taken by the trustees and the President. Some discussion arose from' the fact that smoking is still forbidden in restau- rants in the village, where the students are more conspicuous. But it was brought to a harmonious close by V; At- more, '28, who made a strong plea for moderation. The authorities, she pointed out, are making a great concession to student opinion. To criticize or to in- crease our demands would be ungrateful. Her words- were applauded enthusias- ticaHy by the entire Association. After the discussion the motions for amendments to Resolution X . (which deals with smoking) and Resolution XIV were read and, passed, without a dissent- ing vote in either case. ?Blanchard.......R.I..........E. Diez ***WHls.........C. F, ..........

Republican or Democrat? Hoover or A\ Smith? The weak points and the strong of the Republican and Democratic parties, and the comparative merits of. Smith and Hoover were clearly presented by Pro- fessor William Roy Smith in his talk on I'residential Candidates in chapel on Fri- day morning. Both parties are very definitely divided along sectional lines. Prohibition is the main issue occasioning a split among the Democrats, while the Republicans are faced with the serious problem of recon- ciling the agricultural West to a policy which is essentially that of the industrial Mast. The Republicans, however, have a stronger party nationally; their press agents are better; and then there is ever that old tradition that prosperity is an attribute of Republican rule. Equal Chances for Candidates. . Hoover and Smith as outstanding can- didates of these two parties appear to have fifty-fifty chances of ultimate suc- cess. Mr. .Hoover is handicapped in the West by his stand on the tariff, in the Mississippi Valley since he believes that part of the money for Flood Preventive work should be levied from those in. the afflicted area, and in the South on ac- count of bis radical step in abolishing race segregation in offices. Mr. Smith is .ajM\ in 'disfavor in the West where LowdeFi coulrj very well beat rmro in addition the fact that Mr. Smith is a Catholic has been over-much exploited by the New York World and the New York Times, Undoubtedly rcligjon will play both ways and it is almost as unfor- tunate an issue to bring up during cam- paign times as the fact that Mr. Smith is a member of Tammany Hall. This word immediately conjures up lurid pic- tures and makes people forget that Smith is the master of Tammany, not the ser- vant. Undeniably he is the best execu- tive living in this country today, and his New York experience will serve him well for any future work. With his present following he could carry New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and pos- sibly Massachusetts and. Rhode Island.� Will He Ron? "In concluding I might say just � word about the enigma of the campaign, that is: what will President Coolidge do?" Professor Smith declared, "Whether he is in earnest or not remains to be seen. Coolidge is not a dead pos- sibility by any manner of means."

ADVOCATE TOLERANCE Enthusiastic Discussion Follows Miss Bird's Talk The hour or more of discussion which'J followed Miss Bird's speech on Sunday evening was perhaps even more stimulat- ing than her lecture. Discussion seemed to thrive and glow hi the Common Room far more than it has ever done in the dreary atmosphere of the showcases. Certainly the interest shown by a com- paratively large number of people, on a Sunday evening, was the most aus- picious possible inauguration for the new Kryn Mawr League. If Miss Bird's set speech convinced her hearers of her sincerity and charm, her power and command of information in informal discussion impressed them with her intelligence and ability. The first subject which came up was the question of racial difference. Miss Bird was asked whether there was any truth in the semi-scientific assertions that the col- ored race is mentally or physically in- ferior to the white, and incapable of coining up to its standards. Miss Bird countered with a list of pure Africans who have achieved great intellectual and artistic prominence: Florence Wheatley, the young poet; Dr. Du Bois. and Roland Hayes the singer. Attacked on the other hand as to whether the mingling of the two races produces an inferior or de- generate * ype \ she pointed to Booker Washington, son qf a white man and a colored woman, and one of the greatest educators of all time (though she her- self did not claim this Car him). But the question of intermarriage is not a paramount one to the negro of today, except as an asjiect of white prejudice and timidity. Within his own race at this moment there is enough to interest him in the new movement among the yourlgcr people. If color is important to him. he has all shades from white to black to choose from. Questioned as to her personal feeling towards intermar- riage, Miss Bird confessed candidly that she cotild not declare flatly against it. since it �t^an established fact. There are more tliarTThree million mulattos in the United States today, and a compara- tively small proportion of full-blooded negroes. Racial integrity is a thing of the past: there is no hojic of developing an art, or a civilization, or a personal- ity that is purely black. It must be American as well. Increased Negro Achievement. negroes Ao meet with modern industrial competition would result in the exhaus- tion and ultimate disappearance of the race was overpowered by a smashing array of facts which Miss Binl seemed to have at her fingers' ends. Negro population, negro banks, negro schools, negro real estate in homes and farms have doubled, tripled and increased a hundred-fold since the Civil War. De- cidedly the race is on the up-grade. Another subject that came up was the^ question of negro art; is it essentially primitive? This opened up the whole field of aesthetics, capably circumscribed however by the tactful and capable ef- forts of Miss Bird. She pointed out, however, that civilization movgs_hi_cyilfis.. It begins and ends with the primitive and the simple or simplified. This is what our modern art (perhaps our whole civilization) is going back to. In this connection Miss Bird uttered one tell- ing phrase : "I would rather be a primitive man CONTINUED ON PAOB S "There is no race problem in America today." said Miss Crystal Bird in -her lecture given Sunday evening in the Music Room of Goodhart Hall. What America is confronted with just now is a race situation, the causes of which are both manifold and of long standing. The great mass of American people cannot escape the knowledge that such a situation does exist. It is apparent in 'newspapers, in magazine articles, in actual experiences, in the segregation which confronts the negro in theaters, churches, and all places of amusement; and, finally, .it is most apparent in the erroneous information concerning lynch- ings and the inability of the negro to vote intelligently. There is, too, an im- possibility for the negro to obtain any sort of 'a position that will enable him to live a respectable life, although he may be as well equipped mentally as any of his more successful competitors. Whites Misunderstand Negro. These, primarily, are the causes for a race situation. Mosf 6�f them are due to a prejudice which dates back in the first place to the slave trade. But the ignorance here involved is more the fault of the white man than the negro. The colored man's experience of having lived so many years in the homes of the whites during the slavery^period has given him the advantage of understanding the mind of the white man more thoroughly than CONTINUE!*. ON PAGE 4 Athens Excavated Difficulties Involved in Litigation and Depth of Re- mains. ________ -� On Wednesday morning.

Before the war the Greek Govern- ment had determined tfp excavate the agora, but during the succeeding years more modern activities claimed its atten- tion, and after 1918 the national finances were in no condition to back the under- taking.

More evidence has emerged that the Catholic Church enabled and covered up the criminal acts of paedophile priests. From the New York Times:
"The retired archbishop of Los Angeles, Cardinal Roger M. Mahony, and other high-ranking clergymen in the archdiocese worked quietly to keep evidence of child molesting away from law enforcement officials and shield abusive priests from criminal prosecution more than a decade before the scandal became public, according to confidential church records."
"Rather than defrocking priests and contacting the police, the archdiocese sent priests who had molested children to out-of-state treatment facilities, in large part because therapists in California were legally obligated to report any evidence of child abuse to the police, the files make clear."
Did Cardinal Mahony and other high-ranking clergymen break the law?
If so, what law? If not, should there be a law against what they have done?
Will any of them ever see the inside of a prison cell?
If only we could put the entire administrative heirachy of all the churches in prison for the fraud they perpetrate... What a day that would be!
At the very least, he is guilty of a misdemeanour which is failure to report child abuse. Many regions have such laws. I had to look it up for California, but the law includes clergy as mandatory reporters. I have seen two different penalties listed though. One is a fine of up to $1000 and up to six months in county jail, and the other is a fine up to $5000, and a year in county jail. Not sure which is currently in effect.
But in this case it does step beyond failure to report and into outright concealing the abuse, in which case I echo those who said 'obstruction'.
I think charges need to be pressed. If a man of the cloth chooses his religion over secular law, so be it, but I believe in that man's right to accept the consequences of his own actions. That said, my understanding is that the Vatican, on paper at least, does not support concealing child abusers and has instructed clergy to report offences to secular authorities. I don't really get the ins and outs of Catholic power structures, but it seems to me that he is out of order on both secular and religious fronts.
It seems the statute of limitations in California for obstruction of justice is three years, which limits the prosecutor's options. They could still be charged but some political and legal acrobatics would be required first. The California state legislature could pass a special measure that temporarily lifts the statute of limitations for obstruction of justice and criminal conspiracy. They've taken similar steps before and for similar reasons.
Ah, I overlooked the timeline. That's what I get for skimming. Thanks for the info and the clarification.
Remember this from Dawkins and Hitch. I thought it was a brilliant idea !!
Yes, but not on his head - in a kind of 'rectory' way

Social is a far cry from the tatty pub it replaced. Despite some near-cliché hip elements—yet another Hemingway drinking quote on the wall—this 118-seat dinner destination surprises with sophisticated cooking behind a menu deep with enticing dishes. When pressed for a category, Jeffrey Boullt, the executive chef who has lived and worked in several states, settles for Progressive American with Southern influences.
O.C. abounds with restaurants eager to pamper couples looking for a special night out. Katherine Nguyen offers seven suggestions for date-night destinations, from casual Kettlebar to sumptuous Studio at the Montage.
Just across the freeway from downtown San Juan Capistrano, Marbella Plaza offers top-notch restaurants and an upscale boutique, each with a distinct style and vibe, away from the hustle and bustle of the historic district.

5 A must buy for FPS fansjimisfireburns | 23/01/2011 | See all jimisfireburns's reviews (35)I was after this game since launch, but the only thing that delayed me getting it was the reports of faulty controls using Wii Remote. After choosing from a few default settings, I find the controls to be perfect, and it is easy enough to pull of a quick snipe with the zoom button. Using the Wii Zapper makes it even better and more immersive.The graphics are great for a Wii game, and the plot and action are top notch. As said before, you can be a real spy and pick soldiers off one at a time, or equally as satisfying is going in all gung ho. I am a fair few hours into the single player game, and it may not be the longest campaign mode. But you can revisit levels, do more objectives and follow other paths and of course, it becomes even more difficult and realistic.I would recommend this for those that want a great single / multiplayer shooter on their wii. The controls can be changed easily, and I would speculate there is a setup to suit anyone - or you could just use a game pad I guess. Though the whole draw for Wii games was the Wii remote controller. But yes, get this game now. Bond is Back - woohoo!!
5 bond is backstozza | 17/01/2011 | See all stozza's reviews (59)great game and graphics for the wii very good, however the game is not perfect. Firstly the Wii controller is terrible to use so dont even bother trying, use a classic controller instead. Also its takes forever to unlock guns and gadgets online and there is also no ranking system which is frustrating. You should be up against people of similiar level to yourself however you can be up against people from level 1 to level 56 and sometimes you just get wasted which makes it frustrating and also at times if you have done well in a game you get "host quitting" which means the xp you have earned in the game is lost and doesnt count, again unfair. These minor grumbles aside the game is very addictive and great fun and will keep you playing for a long time. I havent really bothered with the main game as the online is the main selling point. Great game and I would say up there with the best wii games so well worth getting.
5 Goldeneye is now a excellent 1st person shooter for the Wii.dragonlord | 09/01/2011 | See all dragonlord's reviews (442)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer Number 1 Games Reviewer Top 10 Music Reviewer Top 100 Books Reviewer Top 100 Clothing Reviewer When I heard Goldeneye was being redone for the Wii it got me very excited because the N64 version was a ground breaking game which had the most amazing four player deathmatch mode. My mates and myself had many hours of fun playing the 1997 classic shooter which is now 14 years old!I'm glad to say that the four player deathmatch mode is very good on the Wii version and you can have fun playing it online too with up to eight players. My two favourite James Bond henchmen "Oddjob" and "Jaws" are back with another six classic characters included. There are many deathmatch modes for you to enjoy including the two classics like Golden Gun and Paintball. We now have the pleasure of being "Daniel Craig" instead of the original Goldeneye Bond "Pierce Brosnan" because this version is set in present day. The graphics are very good for a Wii game and the music score creates a great atmosphere whilst you are having fun killing baddies in a spy type way. I play this game using a Wii Zapper which comes free with the enjoyable Link's Crossbow Training and it can also be used with the equally fantastic 1st person shooter but more gory Call of Duty: Black Ops. Eurocom have done a wonderful job of revamping this old classic and I'm sure this version will be remembered in fond light too because it's easily in the top three best Wii shooters at the moment.
5 Best Wii game so far.....jcnowell | 10/11/2010 | See all jcnowell's reviews (1)A brilliant remake and update of one of the most memorable games. The game play is brilliant, whichever way you decide to play it, and indeed there are many ways. My advice - buy it with the Gold Controller. It's easier to play and is shiney. However, during an excellent PaintBall multiplayer game with my partner (who is now HOOKED too) we played using the Wii Remote. This makes the most of the point and movement controls. Much harder to grasp but once you've got it you feel like you're even more within the game. All in all a fantastic game. Not just for the shoot-em-up professional but a game for all. BUY IT. No, really....Now!
5 Fantastic game that brings back great memoriesanj024 | 06/11/2010 | See all anj024's reviews (7)From the very beginning its clear that Eurocom have taken a lot of effort to bring this game using the classic N64 game as a blueprint. Though the locations have stayed, they are now told in a new way, with different actors, weapons, gadgets taking place over the original. But the ultimate trump card is that of stealth, just like the original you will have to make a conscience choice of silence over guns blazing. My advice is to always get in close for a silent takedown as simple head shots can be quite difficult (even on the lowest difficulty) and usually require a number of well place shots to ensure no other guards hear you. In terms of control, this really is down to your own personal preference, i found the wii remote config "experienced 3" very similar to Medal of honor heroes & Metroid prime 3. Online multiplayer really outshines this time with only a few minor niggles (no wii speak + fiddly bounding boxes on split screen multi )Overall this is a fantastic game for both old & new gamers that truly shows what the Wii is capable of and finally gives the system a 1st person shooter worthy of the highest honour. For once motion control feels just right !!!!

A serum magnesium test is a measurement of how much magnesium there is in the blood.
Magnesium - blood
Blood is most often drawn from a vein. The vein usually used is on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
The procedure is done in the following way:
For infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin and make it bleed. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. Afterward, a bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.
No special preparation is needed.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel slight pain, or a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is done when your health care provider suspects you may have an abnormal level of magnesium in your blood.
About half of the body's magnesium is found in bone. The other half is found inside cells of body tissues and organs.
Magnesium is needed for nearly all chemical processes in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, and keeps the bones strong. Magnesium is also needed for the heart to function normally and to help regulate blood pressure. Magnesium also helps the body control blood sugar level and helps support the body's defense (immune) system.
1.7 to 2.2 mg/dL
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your health care provider about the meaning of your specific test results.
A high magnesium level may indicate:
A low magnesium level may indicate:
There is very little risk in having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one person to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks may include:

Let's rely on morocco to go on an adventure. The Arab culture is well marked, but the country knows how to welcome its visitors, with wide open arms and open minded. Discover this magical kingdom, great in contrasts and so many surroundings: The Mediterranean, the desert, the mountain and the Atlantic… Let go, be enchanted by one thousand and one nights.
Located in North Africa, Morocco almost touches Europe, just separated from the South of Spain by the Strait of Gibraltar. It is the mythical home of the Sahara Desert. After the Roman Empire, the Arabs took over this territory and since then the Muslim religiousness plays an important role in the country. However the proximity to Europe makes the people's mentality closer to western concepts. It is a country rich in landscape contrasts: Bordered by the Atlantic coast, you may find its most important provinces, such as the capital city, Rabat, and also the mythical cities of Casablanca and Marrakesh. Concerning Marrakesh, that lies at the foot of Atlas Mountain range, that run down the backbone of the country, dividing the northern cities – Fes, where one of the largest medinas belongs – And also the most desert portion of the country: Ouarzazate or Er Rachidia. In a country as dispersed as Morocco, with so many cultures, you will also find diversity in the climate; the average annual temperature is 21 degrees. The cuisine is so very exotic. Impossible to go to Morocco and not taste one of the many tagines – Fish or meat – Or the traditional cous-cous. And if you ever go to Marrakesh dare try an orange juice!

Westminster's Audio Visual department will host its 8th biannual E-Recycling Drive on Saturday, April 20th from 9 am-noon at the Hoyt Science Resources Center Loading Dock. Through the signing of House Bill #708, the Covered Device Recycling Act (CDRA), Pennsylvania has made it easier for consumers to recycle old technology. In addition, as of January, 2013, Pennsylvania law makes it illegal for certain technology items to be placed on the curb to be thrown away. (Please note: Fees still apply to businesses and organizations.)
Covered materials, as laid out by this act, refers to the following:
- Laptop and desktop computers
- Computer monitors
- Computer printers
- Computer mice
- Any other device sold exclusively for external use with a computer that provides input or output into or from a computer
- Televisions with a screen size more than 4 inches diagonally
Manufacturers of "covered materials", according to the act, must establish a recycling plan with a recycler certified by the R2 or E-Steward programs. These certification programs assure that materials entrusted to them are disposed of properly, not put in landfills or shipped overseas to third world countries. Used computers and monitors, gaming systems, microwaves, televisions, and various other expired technologies will be responsibly recycled by We Recycle, a certified E-Steward recycler, through affiliation with A GreenSpan, Inc., a computer recycler out of Pittsburgh, Pa. A GreenSpan will also provide labor and transportation for the event. Those items not considered "covered" still require a small fee for processing.
"Technology becomes outdated at an alarmingly fast pace, and knowing what to do responsibly with obsolete tech can be difficult," said Erin Sullivan, Assistant Equipment Circulation Manager and Green AV member. "These E-Recycling Drives make it convenient for the college and surrounding community to recycle their older technology in a safe and effective manner."
The E-Steward certification enables individuals and organizations who dispose of their old electronic equipment to easily identify recyclers that adhere to the highest standard of environmental responsibility and worker protection, and that they keep materials in North America.
All monies go directly to the recycler. Westminster College provides the drop off location and Audio Visual Services provides volunteer labor for these drives. No money is retained by the College.
To date, over 57,000 pounds of outdated technology has been recycled responsibly through the Westminster AV drives. Doing so diverts it from landfills where various toxic substances can quickly breakdown and leak into food and drinking water. These substances have been documented to connect to various severe health problems and learning disabilities.
For more information on the PA act and what will be recycled free of charge, visit www.electronicrecyclers.com/legislation-pennsylvania.aspx or contact A GreenSpan at (866) 904-7726 or firstname.lastname@example.com. For details on the E-Recycling Drive, contact AV Services at (724) 946-7188, firstname.lastname@example.com, or by visiting our Green AV website.

I think Pot should go next.
I think Pot should go next.
My perfect day would be waking up in a hotel room/house on a beach somewhere, preferably Hawaii but I am not really that picky, as long as I can smell the ocean air and hear the waves. Of course Nick would be with me and we would... hang out for a bit. Then once we were wide awake we would go sit out on the balcony having some coffee and watching the waves wash the footprints off the sand.
We would of course smoke a little and enjoy the cool breeze, there would be no crying kids or anything to disturb my zen moment.
Then once we started getting hungry we would meet my sister and her boyfriend (who of course is on our vacation with us) at a nice restaurant somewhere on the beach. They would have the best bagels and lox in the area and some wonderful mimosas.
After breakfast the boys would go do something manly while my sister and I do some shopping, walk down the beach, enjoy the sun and breeze, and I get hot rock massages at the hotel spa, maybe even a facial. Pampering ourselves and drinking champagne served to us by some scantily clad hot man (or woman).
Then we would walk down the beach to find the boys who find a hidden little local bar, nothing touristy, it will probably just have a hidden door with the word COCKTAILS over it. We will play some pool, put some money in the jukebox, make friends with the bartender and ask him where the best place would be to get a great seafood dinner and then do some dancing. We would also get a recommendation for a local tattoo parlor from whoever has the best body art work in the bar.
We would go get tattoos, then go back to the hotel, get all dolled up and go have an amazing dinner, probably some crab legs or some wonderful fish dish. It will be cooked to perfection and they of course will have a wonderful beer selection. We will have a few beers, talk for awhile, then head out to do some dancing. Wherever we end up will have a pool table and an awesome dj. The boys will play pool while my sister and I get our groove on.
Then after dancing we will walk/stumble back to the hotel, my sister and her boyfriend will go to their room and Nick and I will go to ours. We will go out on our semi secluded balcony and fuck like bunnies under the stars with the sound of the waves in the background.
OK for pictures, I lost most of them off my computer but here are a couple...
My sister and I on the beach in Hawaii.
My girlfriends and I before a night out on the town.
Enjoying some beers at the Kona Brewery.
Okay, first things first... Mr. Sparks, am I still A:On your ignore list? B:Your shit list? C: On shaky ground? Or, D: There's still a chance to meet as long as I behave myself and wear a turtleneck sweater and a bag over my head?
Marc, can you please list specific details of the most felonious thing you have ever done or are currently involved in?
First beer you remember getting drunk off of.
To paraphrase Adlai Stevensen, I will not volunteer, but I will accept a draft. So Randy should yell at Audra if this gets boring. It could go either way.
It was the end of the first day of my first Coachella. I had been wanting to come since 2003, but never made it until 2007. It was return of The Jesus And Mary Chain that finally got me to go. Ultimately, the JAMC set was a little underwhelming, and while I saw great stuff all day long, I certainly had not had that magic moment that was going to bring me back over and over. Towards the end of the day, we had taken to wandering around, catching a tiny bit of everything. We were feeling pretty exhausted and figured we would settle in to watch Bjork.
I remember walking into the fringes of the crowd, and, looking back, it seemed darker than it usually does. We (my wife and I) were really having trouble working our way up, so we had a seat pretty far back. She was late going on, and were so far back and to the right that we really needed the screens to see anything. I remember her opening song was really annoying me, and I was getting irritated because all they wanted to show on the screen were those weird digital instruments someone was playing. I've never been a huge Bjork fan, but I loved the Sugarcubes in high school and college and I wanted to see her. Whatever her second song was annoyed me even more, and I remember being disappointed that the day really wasn't that amazing, even though I had fun.
So we decided to get up and walk around more, even though we were wiped out. We wound up walking into the Mojave just as Gogol Bordello came on. I had heard a couple tracks, but didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be one of the best concert experiences of my life. Everyone...EVERYONE in the crowd were joined together. My wife usually hangs back at shows, but she kept pushing forward, drawn to the stage. Instead of draining what energy we had left, the show was feeding it.
I've seen them a bunch of times since then, and it's always fun, but there was something special about that night, and I think almost anybody who was there would agree. They've never come close since, and neither has the positive energy that was in the crowd that night.
When we walked out with giant smiles on our faces, it was SO quiet. The Bjork crowd was already gone, and I think DJ Shadow was done too, though I remember looking over and seeing stuff still up on his video screens. It seemed so peaceful walking out. We had a hotel, but I remember walking past the campgrounds and thinking how nice it would be to just lay down in the grass and go to sleep. I knew I would be back, and I knew I would be camping.
I think where someone stands on the Brokendoll issue says a lot about who they are. I have always taken a sigh and roll my eyes approach to BD. I rarely have insulted her (at least to my memory), and when I did, it was usually in a very teasing manner. Sometimes, I got uncomfortable when people were particularly cruel to her.
On the other hand, I have seen HER be very cruel to other people, a few of whom I consider good friends. And, most importantly, I have no patience at all for Pete. Since BD and Pete cannot be separated...they will always stick up for one another...this lead to me exploding metaphorical bile all over BD a few weeks ago. But I felt a little bad about it, especially since most of it should have been directed at Pete.
If we ever met, I would likely tip my imaginary hat politely and be on my way. You aren't on my shit list, but I just can't imagine what we would have to talk about.
Honestly, I probably have nothing to say here. I have never been to jail, or had any contact with law enforcement beyond parking/speeding tickets. I have never been much of a drug user...nothing other than pot...and certainly have never been in possession of enough to be a felony. I strive to always be ethical and moral, so I certainly don't do anything that brings financial or physical harm to anyone.
I think the only way I could get a felony is if I got REALLY unlucky with DUIs. I try to be very careful and never drive when I feel anything approaching "drunk". However, I'm sure I've been a hair over .08% enough times to get 3 DUIs in 5 years, if I got caught every single time.
Hmmmm...when I was in high school, I didn't drink. I think I had a can of Bud once on a school trip, and also remember having a shot of schnapps once.
In college, I drank a LOT...but rarely beer. I didn't like it for the same reason I don't like shitty beer now. College kids do not drink craft/micro/import brews. They drink whatever is free or on sale. Plus, "good" beer was much harder to find back then. The first time I ever got really drunk, it was on cheap champagne, and for a year or so, that's what I would drink. I would have a beer every once in a while- probably MGD- but champagne, wine, and liquor were my intoxicants of choice.
But, I do remember a night that MIGHT be the correct answer. I lived in a dorm where the rooms were small apartments, and they all opened up into a courtyard. Also, there were a lot of people over 21 there...I'm not sure how I got in at 19, but usually it was a long waiting list. So, this place was party central. Most weekends, the courtyard was full of people and everyone's front doors were open. People ducked into the living rooms (they had windows to the courtyard) to drink, and the back rooms to fool around or smoke up. It was like a ghetto Playboy mansion.
One night, my friend came over to hang out, but things were pretty quiet. There was a party going on next door, but it was a lot of frat guys, so we decided to just watch a movie. My roommate came in with a case of Olympia Dry. I still shudder thinking about it. The refrigerator next door was full, so he stashed it in ours. He invited us to have a couple if we wanted.
He returned a bit later, and we had drank the whole case. I have no idea why we did it. Maybe things do taste better when you steal them.
Marc dude - the proudest moment of your childhood (0-18 yrs).
Sparks -
Boxers or briefs?
I've met a ton of them. The easiest answers are MJA and MissingPerson, because they are the rarest...plus, who doesn't like free frozen lemonade? Actually, not just because they are rare...they are two of the funniest people here. I'll throw Hannahrain in too, but that should be pretty easy to manage.
7th grade...I am a skinny (!?!) nerdy kid. An 8th grade jock sits behind me in Spanish class and picks on me every day, flicking my ears. He is about a foot taller than me. One day, as I'm walking into class, he comes running up and jumps on my back, piggyback style. I almost lose my balance and fall over, but throw him off. I turn around and take a swing at him, but he's so tall, I miss completely. He starts laughing...and I smash him straight in the nose, walk away, and sit down at my desk. He walks over...shaking with anger, with a bloody nose and kind of crying...and starts POUNDING on my face. It stings, but it's not a big deal, and I just glare at him. The teacher comes in and sends us both to the principals office. He talks to us, and then leaves us in the room alone. The other guy starts crying, says he's in big trouble. I said "I'm in trouble too". He said "No I'm in trouble all the time, he's going to put the blame on me!" Douchebag keeps crying until the principal comes back and sends us back to class. Nothing happened...as far as I know, my parents never found out either. And I never got picked on again.
Boxer Briefs, of course.
And, maybe if you asked questions to me during my week, you'd realize I'm not as stupid as you may think I am...I know what the fuck BMOTW is ,and how it works, Corrina. And, I also know if I hadn't of asked MY questions and I actually was on Mr. Spark's ignore list, you woulda been a pal enough to point that out as well...
Perfectly understandable and acceptable answer. And, if that opportunity should arise, you should know that first, I will praise your fine choice in Coachella headware and ask where one would find such a fashionable and convenient festival item. That would be followed by a polite curtsy.I think where someone stands on the Brokendoll issue says a lot about who they are. I have always taken a sigh and roll my eyes approach to BD. I rarely have insulted her (at least to my memory), and when I did, it was usually in a very teasing manner. Sometimes, I got uncomfortable when people were particularly cruel to her.
On the other hand, I have seen HER be very cruel to other people, a few of whom I consider good friends. And, most importantly, I have no patience at all for Pete. Since BD and Pete cannot be separated...they will always stick up for one another...this lead to me exploding metaphorical bile all over BD a few weeks ago. But I felt a little bad about it, especially since most of it should have been directed at Pete.
If we ever met, I would likely tip my imaginary hat politely and be on my way. You aren't on my shit list, but I just can't imagine what we would have to talk about.
From that point on, I'd probably have no choice but to wait for my cue as to whether I should then offer a friendly hug, or readjust my tu-tu and continue on my merry way.
Now, here's my next question for Mr. Sparks... After seeing pictures of your wife, I can only say she has what I call a contagious smile...the kind of smile that makes the world smile with you. What was the first thing you noticed about her that made you say, "Yeah, that's what I want in a partner?"
Hmmmmm...I'm not sure I can answer that. She does have a great smile. And boobs. She had a horrible perm when we met. It certainly wasn't about physical attributes.
I will tell you how we met and it might shed some light. We had been chatting for a few weeks in an IRC room. (Old school internet chat.) At first, I thought she was a guy, because she was talking about another female chatter who had fell asleep and she was snoring. I though they were boyfriend/girlfriend, but they were dormmates. Anyway, I figured out that not only was she a woman, but that she was around my age. I had been dating a ton of women from this chat room, but they were all 5 or 6 years younger than me and it never went anywhere.
I was planning to have a party one Friday, and had sent her an e-mail invite. A few days after I sent it, it was Friday and she said "I'm looking forward to your party tonight." I told her it was the following week, and she said she was mad because now she had no plans. I said "Well, we could do something tonight. Meet me here at 8 and we'll figure something out."
By "here", I meant in the chatroom. At 8, I logged in and waited for her. I had forgotten I had given her directions to my house. Suddenly, there was a knock at my bedroom door. She had come to the house, and my roommate had let her in and sent her down the hall.
She later told me that she would have never normally gone to a stranger's house, let alone knock on his bedroom door. She said something inside was telling her it was OK. She had a boyfriend of 5 years in Tucson. He had never come to visit her in Flagstaff. A few weeks later, she went to Tucson for the holidays, and I went to see her the day after Christmas. That was the end of the other guy.
Did you know Bob Clawges died? Did you think Mr. Cichinsky was gay?
your ≠ you're
[boarderwoozel3] dying or tim & eric
[boarderwoozel3] I'll take dying
Yes, I heard about Mr Clawges (who was very obviously gay). Mr Cichinsky was harder to tell...I never had him for a class, and only knew him as the guy who did dramatic monologues in church. At the time I was in school, he was involved with, and possibly married to my English Teacher, so we were more freaked out by that...she was very annoying. He very much reminds me of a college friend of mine who I have found out finally came out of the closet.
Since no one else knows what we are talking about and this is the Get To Know You thread, I will add that in 5th grade, I played the lead character of Robin in the Bob Clawges directed play "The Runaway Snowman". (With set design by his "roommate".) It was basically Frosty The Snowman if Frosty latched onto one kid, and then the kid let the fame of building a talking snowman go to his head. Although there is filmed evidence of this somewhere in my parents house, it was thankfully silent super 8 film. However, you can see a scene from another production of this little piece of holiday magic here...
sparky - you can pick 5 musicians from any era, dead or alive, to have dinner with. They are guaranteed to be interested in talking to you and not snooty or aloof. Which 5 do you pick and why?
That's a tough one. I went through one of those 100 sexiest celebrities lists and only a few of them caught my eye. Not into skinny, not into blonds, not into women who seem overly made up. I like funny girls...if I got to an comedy show like The Groundlings or UCB, I always walk out with a crush on one of the women.
First off, the clock is ticking, but Salma Hayek is still the sexiest woman in the world. I wouldn't know how to explain why...it should just be known.
The second place spot is a kind of rotating slot of comedic actresses, depending on what I've been watching. Lately it's Lizzy Caplan...
...who is on Party Down, which you all should be watching and laughing your asses off to.
This years' Coachella crush is Florence...
The fat guy in me would like to put a vote in for Giada De Laurentiis
And, I would have my nerd card revoked if I didn't mention
But...I don't know, I'm not really into celebrities, because I don't know them. I'm way more into personalities and sense of humor, which is why I get those crushes on comediannes, because they show more of their personality than an actor or model. Last time I went to UCB, I saw Jen Kirkman...
...and got a big old dumb crush. Here she is (looking kind of frumpy) explaining why she doesn't fantasize about celebrities...
Last edited by M Sparks; 04-06-2010 at 08:44 AM. Reason: I'm dumb
Tom...I will take my time on that one and get back to you.
you should check out clips of True Blood if you wanna see Lizzy Caplan's bewbs.
is Tree really your wife's name? it's a cute moniker.
Bugs Bunny was always the funniest cartoon character...period. I can watch old Loony Tunes and Merrie Melodies to this day and laugh my ass off. They are timeless.
I used to read Richie Rich comics when I was very young...the TV show was awful, but I liked the comics because I liked all the cool gadgets in his house. I was a tech geek very early on.
I never was into super heroes, but I would read SpiderMan and Fantastic Four comics on occasion. Also, even though I was very young, I somehow knew this was a good thing...
sparky are we gonna have a beer together at coachella?
Do you have any pets? If so, what are their names, breeds, ages. Did you pick them out, or did they pick you?

Outdoor and Adventure
This collection of hats give you any type of safari, outback, western, or pith helmet that you may need on any outdoor excursion. Whether you're going hiking along a nature trail, fishing with your son, or just barbequing in the backyard, it is important to have a hat that is comfortable and practical. Each style of hat here offers protection and comfort in their own ways.
Safari hats generally have the smallest brims of the group, contoured downwards in the front and the back. They are the most casual of the bunch, great for a family picnic or a walk in the city. Most outback hats have chincords to ensure that your hat will not fly off. These hats are great for boating and hiking. Westerns have bigger brims that flared outwards on the sides, good for neck, face and shoulder coverage. Pith helmets are classic, sturdy hats that protect your head from minor bumps and bruises. No matter which hat suits your style best, be sure that it will be ready for any outdoor adventure.

A scenic, unspoiled site might seem an unequivocal asset in designing a vacation home. But Wyoming's Wapiti Valley, the mountain-rimmed 50-mile run of the North Fork Shoshone River east of Yellowstone National Park, could intimidate even the most self-assured architect. The grandeur and openness of the landscape tends to make buildings look like toys, and the region's harsh weather can make them feel equally insubstantial. Both aesthetically and literally, says architect Brett Nave, "you're on your own out there." But Nave, with then-partner Lori Ryker, rose to the challenge, producing an idiosyncratic, impressionistic house that becomes part of this magnificent setting without disappearing into it.
Nave's Los Angeles–based clients presented an unusually open-ended program, specifying mainly that the house face away from the highway that borders their 120-acre property and toward the hills where they hike and ride horses. "It's wild for miles and miles and miles to the north," Nave says. "It's elk and bears and wolves; that's it." Given the house's exposure, Nave adopted something of a split-screen view, "designing the way it looks from a distance, but how it feels from standing right there." The floor plan stretches along an east-west axis, bookending a central great room with a master suite to the west and a secondary bedroom suite to the east. A freestanding private gym extends the axis toward the east; a guest suite stands off to the south. The layout is intentionally simple, Nave explains. "There's this constant flow from one end to the other."
Working upward from the plan, the house builds layers of complexity in materials, geometry, light, and views. A 2-foot-thick rammed earth wall anchors the great room, screening views to the south, while a high glass wall opens toward the north. A canted butterfly roof—rising from south to north—floats above a high clerestory, reinforcing the orientation toward the mountains. The main house's two bedroom wings, as well as the gym and guest house, shelter under separate and distinctly different roof forms. Favoring large expanses of glass over punched openings, Nave located the house's few conventional windows to offer poetic, fragmentary views. "Anywhere you are in the house you have another vignette," he says, "but nothing's framed, so it's more like being in the landscape than like taking pictures of the landscape."
"I almost always try to design space first, from the inside out, and I don't worry as much about [exterior] form," the architect explains. But the house's long, eccentrically rhythmic profile was no accident. A rambling composition suggestive of old Western mining camps, the building also echoes the jagged ridgeline of China Wall, the outcrop whose dragon-tail silhouette towers over the site. A variety of wall surfaces—rammed earth, standing seam metal, wood-veneer panels, plate steel, spaced hardwood boards, and expanded-metal screening—represent "an attempt to build different shadows at different times of day," Nave says. "From a distance, it looks like rocks and shadows and protrusions from the ground. That's what we were trying to do."
Succeed as it might as landscape sculpture, however, a house is still a house, and this one also successfully provides secure shelter in an inspiring but unforgiving environment. "We clocked [the wind at] 108 miles per hour at one point on this site," Nave says. "It's super windy, very harsh, with lots of sunshine. The snow doesn't stick around very long; it blows away." Radiant heating in the concrete floors keeps the interior comfortable under normal conditions, but Nave specified a forced-air backup system to shorten recovery time when the interior temperature is allowed to drop.
On mild days, though, with its wall of folding glass doors drawn open, the great room takes on the character of a luxurious lean-to. Simple decks, with no railings to filter the view, project into the native grass and sagebrush meadow. And if the owners aren't riding in the hills, one imagines them unwinding outdoors, recalling their last foray and planning the next, inhabiting a space that extends far beyond the walls of their house.

Choking is when someone can't breathe because food, a toy, or other object is blocking the airway (throat or windpipe).
Heimlich maneuver - adult or child over 1 year
A choking person's airway may be completely or partially blocked, so that not enough oxygen reaches the lungs. A complete blockage is a medical emergency. A partial blockage can quickly become life threatening if the person cannot properly breathe in and out.
Without oxygen, permanent brain damage can occur in as little as 4 - 6 minutes. Rapid first aid for choking can save a life.
Occasionally an object will enter the lung. While the person may appear to improve and breathe normally, in a few days symptoms may develop, such as:
The universal distress signal for choking is grabbing the throat with the hand.
Other danger signs include:
How to perform the Heimlich maneuver:
After removing the object that caused the choking, keep the person still and get medical help. Anyone who is choking should have a medical examination. Complications can occur not only from the choking, but also from the first aid measures that were taken.
Seek medical help right away if you find someone unconscious.
When the person is choking:
After the object is successfully dislodged, the person should see a doctor because complications can arise.
These could be signs that the object entered the lung instead of being expelled.

Factiva on Twitter content curation and the devaluation of journalism
David Chivers vice president, Factiva products at Dow Jones & Company tells Social Media Portal (SMP) how the free-only models have had an impact upon businesses and how publishers are reacting via pay walls. He explains, "The low point for the information industry as a whole happened when there was an expectation that all content should be free due to the availability of free content on the Web."
He adds, "I believe this trend significantly devalued premium content and professional journalism. As a result, professionals were making business decisions based on content from non-credible sources and learned that hard way that not all content is the same or can be trusted, which ultimately impacted their business."
Later in the interview he shares how things are now transitioning, with similar sentiments shared with the recent reporting of the Washington Post grappling with content models by The Guardian.
Recently, Factiva announced adding Twitter content to its product suite and shared with SMP more on how it works and why business intelligence is increasingly important to brands. Ten year-old Factiva sources content from nearly 200 countries, in 26 languages and across 31 industries. Factiva tries to base content on the business needs of its customers and focuses on relevant geographies, roles and industries of interest. It reviews content across all mediums including newspapers, newswires, publications, social media, and multimedia.
Twitter curated content from Factiva sources tweets from the most influential global influencers adding to the information gathered from its traditional sources and blogs. Its editorial staff will use technology and selective means to choose content for its product an attempt to bring the best and the most relevant research for its clients.
Chivers continues, "Factiva leverages a combination of technology and editorial staff to curate content from Twitter's "firehose." The curated Twitter content in Factiva covers 31 industries, including energy, financial services and technology, with a focus on the most influential tweeters from around the globe.
"The real-time content is available via Factiva Snapshot, a news dashboard that helps businesses to efficiently gather intelligence and identify trends, opportunities and risks. And, this is just the start. We expect to continue to add services involving Twitter content," adds Chivers.
In the interview Chivers reveals the challenges of keeping up-to-date with the demands of clients in a recent interview and how their greatest fears are evolving with social media networks. He also boldly offers advice on how business can manage their own content and work better with social media and networks in addition to sharing in what he deems to be the greatest areas that business should focus upon throughout the rest of 2012 and into 2013.
Elemental, is the communications consultancy that created and manages the Social Media Portal (SMP). SMP interviewed Factiva in a recent article published on and for SMP.
