Urinary (or bladder) incontinence happens when you are not able to keep urine from leaking out of your urethra, the tube that carries urine out of your body from your bladder. You may leak urine from time to time. Or, you may not be able to hold any urine.
The three main types of urinary incontinence are:
Bowel incontinence is when you are unable to control the passage of stool. It is not covered in this article.
Loss of bladder control; Uncontrollable urination; Urination - uncontrollable; Incontinence - urinary
Normally, the bladder begins to fill with urine from the kidneys. The bladder stretches to allow more and more urine.
You should feel the first urge to urinate when there is around 200 mL (just under 1 cup) of urine stored in your bladder. A healthy nervous system will respond to this stretching sensation by letting you know that you have to urinate. At the same time, the bladder should keep filling.
The average person can hold around 350 to 550 mL (more than 2 cups) of urine in the bladder. Two muscles help control the flow of urine:
When it is time to empty the bladder, the bladder wall (detrusor) muscle contracts or squeezes to force urine out of the bladder. Before this muscle squeezes, your body must be able to relax the sphincter to allow the urine to pass out of your body.
To control urination, you must have:
Incontinence is most common among the elderly. Women are more likely than men to have urinary incontinence.
Infants and children are not incontinent before they have been toilet trained. Children up to age 6 may still have accidents sometimes. Young (and sometimes teenage) girls may leak a little bit of urine when they laugh.
It is normal for children to wet the bed until age 5 or 6.
Causes of urinary incontinence include:
Incontinence may be sudden and go away after a short period of time. Or, it may continue long-term. Causes of sudden or temporary incontinence include:
Causes that may be more long-term:
See your health care provider for tests and a treatment plan. What type of treatment you get depends on what caused your incontinence and what type you have.
The following methods are used to strengthen the muscles of your pelvic floor:
For urine leaks, wear absorbent pads or undergarments . There are many well-designed products that no one else will notice.
Other treatments include:
If you have overflow incontinence or cannot empty your bladder completely, you may need to use a catheter. For more information on catheter use, see also:
Talk to your health care provider about incontinence. Health care providers who treat incontinence are called gynecologists and urologists. They can find the cause and recommend treatments.
Call your local emergency number (such as 911) or go to an emergency room if you suddenly lose control over urine and you have:
Call your health care provider if:
Your health care provider will ask about your medical history. You will have a physical exam focusing on your abdomen, genitals, pelvis, rectum, and nervous system.
Your health care provider may ask questions such as:
Tests that may be performed include:

implements a native Common Lisp client library for the 'Advanced Message Queueing
Protocol'. The implementation comprises wire-level codecs, implementations
for the standard protocol objects and methods, a functional interface for message-,
stream- and object-based i/o, and a device-level simple-stream implementation.
The library targets the revisions of the published AMQP protocol as of versions 0.8, 0.9, and 0.10. This means that it should work with respective RabbitMQ, Apache ActiveMQ, and Qpid implementations. The implementation architecture should also accommodate a control structure appropriate for the prospective 1.0 version - as least as described in preliminary drafts. For each version, a distinct package comprises the object and method definitions for protocol entities and codecs as generated from the respective specification documents.[1] Each collection is a complete projection, which means there is some amount of duplication. The package and directory names names follow more-or-less the naming conventions of the xml protocol documents[2]:
AMQP-1-1-0-8-0 | version 0.8 | [amqp0-8.xml, amqp0-8.pdf (2006-06)] |
AMQP-1-1-0-9-0 | version 0.9 | [amqp0-9.xml, amqp0-9.pdf (2006-12)] |
AMQP-1-1-0-9-1 | version 0.9r1 | [amqp0-9-1.xml, amqp0-9-1.pdf (2008-11-24)] |
AMQP-1-1-0-10-0 | version 0.10 | [amqp.0-10.xml, amqp.0-10.pdf (2008-02-20)] |
In order to modify the translation and/or generate new codecs consult the :de.setf.amqp.tools
All protocol versions are expressed through a common interface[3] which is specialized for the common
abstract classes. The initial connection phase determines the correct concrete connection implementation
to be used to communicate with the broker. Given which the other concrete object and method classes are
elected from the same package. One determines the version support directly by loading the respective
version's .asd
file, which makes its connection class available for negotiation.
This is intended as the base for a distributed semantic store. What one has here is a reasonably complete engineering prototype. It consumes phenomenal amounts of memory and runs astonishingly slowly: 5 - 10 milliseconds and 1 to 10 thousand bytes per round trip. A request entails ten levels of generic function dispatch, half of which require keyword processing. A response call stack is about as deep, but with somewhat less keyword processing. As almost everything between the interface commands and the frame buffers is generated code, once it is clear which aspects should remain available for specialization and/or optional arguments, the protocol call stack would benefit from recasting uninteresting elements as ordinary functions of fixed arguments - depending on implementation type, by a factor of ten to sixty.
It would also be nice to generate a table similar to RabbitMQ's to record protocol conformance and compatibility with brokers. Eventually. The present tests are limited to
The library has been built and probed in the following combinations

Featured Program
Interesting newsmakers and intriguing personalities in politics, sports, arts and culture. This half-hour talk show airs on both CPTV and WNPR.
The weekly series feature two in-depth interview segments or, when the guest and topic warrant, the entire half-hour is dedicated to one interview. Either way, this series delves into the lives and experiences of guests in unexpected ways, offering insightful and memorable interviews.
Not your typical public television show, Front and Center is hosted by Ray Hardman, an award-winning broadcast journalist. Hardman brings his own intellectual curiosities, artistic sensibilities and personal passions for what's happening in Connecticut and beyond to Front and Center. His extensive news and public affairs experience -- combined with a passion for the arts and personal justice -- lead to questions that always get to the heart of the matter.
Front and Center with Ray Hardman was developed as part of Connecticut Public Broadcasting's longstanding mission to provide programs that inform, entertain, educate and inspire the communities it serves in Connecticut and beyond. "We want to take this show beyond the traditional talk show or public affairs program, and offer something that's different and thought-provoking," said Jay Whitsett, vice president of programming for CPTV.
"One of the real pleasures in life for me is to hear a good story. I am truly fascinated by people and the stories they tell. Many times, their experiences influence and teach us in subtle and not so subtle ways," Hardman said.
"Like most public television viewers and public radio listeners, I am curious about so many things, not just politics and the news of the day," Hardman said. "Things like culture, sports and the arts say a lot about who we are as a society, and, in my opinion, are well worth exploring in a talk show format. There a million stories out there... I am very excited to have the chance to share my curiosity with CPTV viewers and WNPR listeners."

Fracking Your Future: Shale Gas Industry Targets College Campuses, K-12 Schools
2:41 pm in Uncategorized by Steve Horn
Cross-Posted from DeSmogBlog
In Pennsylvania – a state that sits in the heart of the Marcellus Shale basin – the concept of "frackademia" and "frackademics" has taken on an entirely new meaning.
On Sept. 27, the PA House of Representatives – in a 136-62 vote – passed a bill that allows hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking" to take place on the campuses of public universities. Its Senate copycat version passed in June in a 46-3 vote and Republican Gov. Tom Corbett signed it into law as Act 147 on Oct. 8.
The bill is colloquially referred to as the Indigenous Mineral Resources Development Act. It was sponsored by Republican Sen. Don White, one of the state's top recipients of oil and gas industry funding between 2000-April 2012, pulling in $94,150 during that time frame, according to a recent report published by Common Cause PA and Conservation Voters of Pennsylvania. Corbett has taken over $1.8 million from the oil and gas industry since his time serving as the state's Attorney General in 2004.
The Corbett Administration has made higher education budget cuts totaling over $460 million in the past two consecutive PA state budgets. The oil and gas industry has offered fracking as a new fundraising stream at universities starved for cash and looking to fill that massive cash void, as explained by The Philadelphia Inquirer:
Half of the fees and royalties generated by leases of State System of Higher Education lands would be retained by the university where the resources are located. Thirty-five percent would be allocated to other state universities. The remaining 15 percent would be used for tuition assistance at all 14 schools.
"I've become extremely concerned, disturbed, and disgusted by the environmental consequences of fracking," a professor at Lock Haven University told Mother Jones in a recent article. "They've had explosions, tens of thousands of gallons of chemicals spilled. And we're going to put this on campus?"
Mother Jones' Sydney Brownstone also explained that Pennsylvania isn't the only state playing this game, writing:

In 1996, Joshua Aidlin inherited a set of woodworking tools and machinery from his father, sculptor Jerome Aidlin. As a young San Francisco–based architect, Joshua would spend his evenings and weekends using the tools to craft furniture, often accompanied by his friend and fellow architect David Darling. "We'd make furniture in the shop and really get our hands dirty," recalls Darling, AIA. In the process, they learned to think about design as a sensory art, one in which the way something feels, smells, and sounds means just as much as its visual impact.
At the time the two architects, who were born six days apart and met at the University of Cincinnati, both held day jobs at local firms. When they decided to start Aidlin Darling Design in San Francisco at the tender age of 32, their furniture pieces helped them win architectural commissions, as well as at least one employee. "One of the things that drew me here initially was that those early pieces showed the craft of making, and an exquisite materiality and attention to detail," says Peter Larsen, now a principal at the firm. "It showed a level of design rigor that was really valuable."
Aidlin, AIA, and Darling don't typically fabricate furniture or details themselves anymore; instead, they devote their time to designing. Their 16-person office does have a wood shop, mostly for models and mock-ups. "We have great relationships with fabricators who can make things faster and better than we could," Aidlin says. "There's a happy creative divide between maker and designer. Everyone's pushing each other, and it ends up being really exciting."
Houses have long made up the backbone of Aidlin Darling's portfolio, and over the past few years the firm also has designed award-winning restaurants and other public projects. It's currently working on two wineries, a bookstore, an adaptive reuse arts center, and a Stanford University chapel and meditation space centered on the work of the late painter Nathan Oliveira—along with a handful of custom homes.
No matter what the project type, involving the contractor, subs, and fabricators in the design process is a crucial Aidlin Darling maneuver. Dan Pelsinger of Matarozzi Pelsinger Builders, a frequent collaborator, remembers being surprised by the firm's willingness to solicit feedback from him the first time they worked together on a house. "They asked us what we thought of the details," he remembers. He pointed out some unnecessary flashing, and it was removed from the plans. "I didn't think guys who were so design-oriented would welcome that kind of input from a builder."
Certainly Aidlin, Darling, Larsen, and their staff are obsessed with design. But they've also got a practical streak that keeps them grounded. They're constantly searching for solutions that serve multiple purposes. For example, take the perforated zinc façade of 355 11th Street, a LEED-Gold remodel containing Matarozzi Pelsinger's office, another architect's studio, and the restaurant Bar Agricole. "It's not just whimsical," Aidlin says, and he's right: the façade serves as a conductor of light and fresh air, a shading and passive cooling device, a reference to the original metal cladding, and a stylish cover for inexpensive aluminum windows.
Along with engaging outside collaborators in the design process, Aidlin and Darling have made it a point to reach out within the firm and give their staff members significant amounts of responsibility. "I was blessed with great mentorship at the firms I worked for," says Darling, citing Richard Brayton, FAIA, and Stanley Saitowitz. "It made me want to pass that on." Project architects at Aidlin Darling are intimately involved in both the creative and technical sides of a job. "Working there was a pretty tremendous experience," says Michael Hennessey, AIA, LEED AP, a former employee who now has his own firm. "They're just all-around really good architects, and they instill that culture in their office."
Aidlin Darling's culture also entails a rigorous effort to understand the site and the client, which typically translates into a sustainable approach. "We put a high value on site specificity, and sustainability is almost a natural outcome of that," Larsen says. On its more bucolic sites a project team will even camp out overnight, to gain a feeling for the property's levels of natural light, its temperature changes, and the sound of the wind or ocean at different times of day.
The firm always returns to the idea of generating a holistic sensory experience, in which aural, olfactory, tactile, and visual effects play equally important roles. "It's not an additive process, but an extractive one," Aidlin explains. "You're extracting the solution that's always been there."
This loft in San Francisco's Mission District was dark and cluttered before Joshua Aidlin, AIA, and his client got their hands on it.
The client for this San Francisco addition hoped to leave the original 1950s house as unaltered as possible.

Post-partum Depression!? Perfect, that wraps things up nicely. I was wondering why you would go on a rampage at the White House with a 1 year old kid in the car and be stupid enough to think you'd get away in an area that has more cops than a police academy. Now I know.
I have to admit, I don't understand post-partum depression. The whole purpose of getting pregnant is to have a child. Why would you get depressed when it works? In the old days women would get pregnant continuously, having 12 or 13 kids. I guess that prevented PPD back then.

Hanging out with your best friend always makes things better. Even if you're a zombie living in a post-apocalyptic world and your only purpose in life is to walk around aimlessly looking for human flesh, it still helps to know that your best bud is by your side. This bromantic relationship is what viewers can expect in Summit Entertainment's latest release, Warm Bodies, out Feb. 1.
Comedic veteran Rob Corddry creeps into theaters as M, a middle-aged zombie who supports and protects his best friend, R (Nicholas Hoult), when the teenager falls in love with a human. "It was a little bit meatier than your normal best friend bro part, which I tend to play a lot," Corddry tells Hollywood.com.
The actor's unblinking stares and giggle-worthy groans — not to mention the best one-liner we've heard in a long time — provide a large part of the film's comic relief. But what was Corddy's undead inspiration for his zombie persona? The actor was quick, yet slightly ashamed to answer our question: "Brain injury patients," he revealed.
In the film, the perfectly healthy (and alive) Julie (Teresa Palmer) brings her zombie beau, R, home to meet her father. In real life Corddry has two young daughters, so naturally we needed to know: What would happen if his daughters wanted to date a member of the undead?
Check out out full interview with Corddry below to hear his hilarious answer!

Industry executives weigh in on the FFANY chief's dedication to footwear.
Larry Tarica
Co-president of the footwear division, LF USA
"We have been so fortunate to have Joe be part of our industry, as our longtime FFANY leader and an overall collaborator. The years I spent as chairman of FFANY were enjoyable largely due to Joe's partnership. We can all appreciate his unwavering dedication to breast cancer research, all the while shepherding these accomplishments with his characteristic dignity and modesty. All of us in the footwear industry owe Joe our appreciation and accolades."
Blake Krueger
Chairman, president & CEO, Wolverine World Wide Inc.
"I've had the pleasure of working with Joe for many years and have enjoyed his partnership and leadership [on] the FFANY board. He's a unique and highly successful individual, and one who's had a significant impact on the footwear industry. His extensive experience working on both the wholesale and retail sides of the business has helped build FFANY and Shoes on Sale into one of the best shoe shows and finest and largest fundraisers in the industry. Joe's tireless dedication to FFANY and the industry is reflective of its sustained growth and the huge impact of its charitable endeavors. He always keeps his finger on the pulse of what's going on globally in the industry and translates this in a meaningful way into the fashion footwear segment of the market."
André Assous
Founder, André Assous
"I met Joe at Charles Jourdan, and over the years we've had a special friendship. He's responsible and likeable. He's done a fantastic job handling FFANY and Shoes on Sale. It's a fantastic accomplishment. I'm sure when he [retires] he will miss the people in the business."
Ron Fromm
Chairman, Brown Shoe Co.
"Joe, first and foremost, is a quiet, determined, focused and effective leader. He bolstered FFANY as a brand [due to] his early learning [skills] at Charles Jourdan, [where he developed] a brand-consciousness. He has a love for the New York fashion market. He is an endless ambassador and supporter of education in the footwear industry [in promoting] Ars Sutoria. He's also used celebrity to increase awareness of QVC Presents 'FFANY Shoes on Sale.' His leadership has been good for FFANY and the industry in raising the level of awareness [for both]. He also likes to have fun and has made FFANY parties fun. He believes in a happy industry. Joe is always trying to make FFANY contemporary for the future."
Danny Schwartz
CEO, Schwartz & Benjamin
"I met Joe when I came into the industry in the late 1970s. He was then president of Charles Jourdan, at the time one of the elite brands in the industry. Through the years, I got to know him through industry functions and spent a lot of time with him on FFANY matters. He told me stories of when, as a young buyer at Neiman Marcus, he'd have lunch with my grandfather Benjamin and uncle Harry, who would [on occasion] get him drunk. [However], he learned a lot from them. He has a wonderful skill set, is a self-starter and very strategic."
Eli Footer
Former co-chairman, Schwartz & Benjamin
"I met Joe when he was 19 and a buyer at Bullock's shoe department. [After he had] made strides there, Neiman Marcus was looking for a shoe buyer and interviewed him at our [company's] offices. While at Neiman's, he did things that were so creative, forward and 'with it' — [particularly] the way he merchandised product. After Neiman Marcus, Roland Jourdan of Charles Jourdan hired him to run the [U.S.] business. It was an international company and he was the eyes and ears of the business in America. He made an impact, [especially] with its Fifth Avenue store."
Dick Jacobson
Former president, FFANY
"I became close friends with Joe when he was at Charles Jourdan. From the very beginning, he supported FFANY. He was welcomed by me as then-FFANY president with open arms. He was a wonderful choice [to succeed me]. He had the skills that would be needed when I left. He had the executive abilities I didn't to hold it together and make it grow — he was forward-thinking. It was luck that someone like him was available."
Jim Issler
President & CEO, H.H. Brown
"Joe Moore has been an example of humility, passion and hard work while serving as president of FFANY for many years. His accomplishments are many, and the success of the Shoes on Sale charity event is one prime example. It took a special kind of individual with unique skills to work with our industry's retail and wholesale executives and focus their energies, which Joe did, and for that we will be forever thankful."
Scott Silverstein
CEO, The Silverstein Co.
"First, I consider him both a friend and a mentor. His years of industry experience before FFANY and FFANY's now-unique position within the industry make him a great person to talk to. On his watch, FFANY reclaimed its position as the premier fashion footwear show, as well as deepened its charitable partnerships with many new plans for the future. I'm very happy that Joe will be with me during my upcoming tenure as chairman, as well as helping us through the transition."
Rick Muskat
EVP, Deer Stags Concepts
"I've been acquainted with Joe for more than 35 years. I have gotten to know him well over the past few years while working on the FFANY board. [We've] developed ways to expand FFANY's reach in the men's fashion sector. He not only grasps but fully embraces how technology can be employed in enhancing FFANY's importance and influence in our industry. This is evidenced by the e-learning project he's championing to expand the knowledge of shoemaking to all who work in the footwear industry. Joe's passion and dedication to FFANY and the shoe industry is only surpassed by his humanity."
Debbie King
VP & DMM of women's shoes, Bloomingdale's
"Joe Moore is a fixture in the footwear industry and has been a proven leader. He has had such a positive impact on our trade. I commend his commitment and efforts to build long-standing relationships with the many designers and retailers [in our business]."

Kirsty is back in Dakhla this November to run another Kitesurf Progressor & Yoga Retreat!
4th Place PKRA Germany 2012 !!!
Ohh Yeah... I made it again! If anyone would have told me at the beginning of the season, I woulnd't believe it!
I am competing for 3 years now and this is my first full season on the PKRA World Tour. This event was definately the most important and most exciting one since I'm kiteboarding. Finishing 3rd in the Single Elimination and ending up 4th after the Doubles felt like a little dream coming true.
It's hard to describe how i felt after making my way up to 3rd place in the Single Elimination! I was so unbelievable happy and couldn't really believe it at the same time. Winning over Christophe Tack in the second round and my teammate Mario Rodwald in the third round meant that I had a place in the Top 4 of the Singles.
The Semi Final against Youri Zoon didn't go so well. I was struggeling with the increasing wind conditions and didn't really perform good.
On the other side, current tour leader Alex Pastor from Spain lost against Kevin Langeree from the Netherlands and I knew it's not gonna be easy to get 3rd place. The wind was quite good for my 9m kite at that moment and probably more than thousand people where on the beach watching the finals.
I did one of my best heats during the whole competition and managed to win over Alex with a total score from 42.51 points!
The end of the Double Elimination was held on the last weekend, as a lot of spectators where showing up on the beach again. My heat wasn't a easy one. I knew that it would be most likely Alex Pastor coming up and fighting for a place on the podium.
I did my best and had a pretty good heat, but I wasn't really a 100% on top of my game this day and lost against Alex. In the end I took 4th place but I was more than happy with the result!
Flying back home to Austria with a 2nd place at KTE Sylt and a 4th place at the PKRA in St. Peter Ording was sick !

Exploring his home grounds, I found sheer kite-perfection in a country that not many kitesurfers have discovered for themselves yet. It's definitely worth it guys, check out my article and then go and book yourself a ticket . .
