Food allergy is an immune system reaction that occurs soon after eating a certain food. Even a tiny amount of the allergy-causing food can trigger signs and symptoms such as digestive problems, hives or swollen airways. In some people, a food allergy can cause severe symptoms or even a life-threatening reaction known as anaphylaxis.
Food allergy affects an estimated 6 to 8 percent of children under age 3 and up to 3 percent of adults. While there's no cure, some children outgrow their food allergy as they get older.
It's easy to confuse a food allergy with a much more common reaction known as food intolerance. While bothersome, food intolerance is a less serious condition that does not involve the immune system.
For some people, an allergic reaction to a particular food may be uncomfortable but not severe. For other people, an allergic food reaction can be frightening and even life-threatening. Food allergy symptoms usually develop within a few minutes to two hours after eating the offending food.
The most common food allergy signs and symptoms include:
In some people, a food allergy can trigger a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. This can cause life-threatening signs and symptoms, including:
Emergency treatment is critical for anaphylaxis. Untreated, anaphylaxis can cause a coma or even death.
Some people have an allergic reaction to a food triggered by exercise. Eating certain foods may cause you to feel itchy and lightheaded soon after you start exercising. In serious cases, an exercise-induced food allergy can cause certain reactions such as hives or anaphylaxis.
Not eating for a couple of hours before exercising and avoiding certain foods may help prevent this problem.
In many people who have hay fever, fresh fruits and vegetables and certain nuts and spices can trigger an allergic reaction that causes the mouth to tingle or itch. In some people, pollen-food allergy syndrome — sometimes called oral allergy syndrome — can cause swelling of the throat or even anaphylaxis.
This is an example of cross-reactivity. Proteins in fruits and vegetables cause the reaction because they're similar to those allergy-causing proteins found in certain pollens. For example, if you're allergic to ragweed, you may also react to melons; if you're allergic to birch pollen, you may also react to apples.
Cooking fruits and vegetables can help you avoid this reaction. Most cooked fruits and vegetables generally don't cause cross-reactive oral allergy symptoms.
Common cross-reactivity between pollens and fruits and vegetables:
See a doctor or allergist if you have food allergy symptoms shortly after eating. If possible, see your doctor when the allergic reaction is occurring. This will help your doctor make a diagnosis.
Seek emergency treatment if you develop any signs or symptoms of anaphylaxis, such as:
When you have a food allergy, your immune system mistakenly identifies a specific food or a substance in food as something harmful. Your immune system triggers cells to release antibodies known as immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to neutralize the culprit food or food substance (the allergen). The next time you eat even the smallest amount of that food, the IgE antibodies sense it and signal your immune system to release a chemical called histamine, as well as other chemicals, into your bloodstream.
These chemicals cause a range of allergy signs and symptoms. They are responsible for causing allergic responses that include dripping nose, itchy eyes, dry throat, rashes and hives, nausea, diarrhea, labored breathing, and even anaphylactic shock.
There are a number of reactions to food that cause similar symptoms to a food allergy. Depending on the type of food intolerance you have, you may be able to eat small amounts of problem foods without a reaction. By contrast, if you have a true food allergy, even a tiny amount of food may trigger an allergic reaction.
Because a food intolerance may involve some of the same signs and symptoms as a food allergy does — such as nausea, vomiting, cramping and diarrhea — people may confuse the two.
One of the tricky aspects of diagnosing food intolerance is that some people are sensitive not to the food itself but to a substance or ingredient used in the preparation of the food.
Common conditions that can cause symptoms mistaken for a food allergy include:
Celiac disease. While celiac disease is sometimes referred to as a gluten allergy, it isn't a true food allergy. Like a food allergy, it does involve an immune system response, but it's a unique immune system reaction that's more complex than a simple food allergy. This chronic digestive condition is triggered by eating gluten, a protein found in bread, pasta, cookies, and many other foods containing wheat, barley or rye.
If you have celiac disease and eat foods containing gluten, an immune reaction occurs that causes damage to the surface of your small intestine, leading to an inability to absorb certain nutrients.
Food allergy risk factors include:
Factors that may increase your risk of developing an anaphylactic reaction include:
Complications of food allergy can include:
Because doctor's appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared for your appointment. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. Some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
If your child is seeing the doctor for a food allergy, you may also want to ask:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may save time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
If you suspect you have a food allergy, avoid exposure to the food altogether until your doctor's appointment. If you do eat the food and have a mild reaction, over-the-counter antihistamines may help relieve symptoms. If you have a more severe reaction and any signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, seek emergency help.
There's no standard test used to confirm or rule out a food allergy. Your doctor will consider a number of things before making a diagnosis. The following may help determine if you're allergic to a food or if your symptoms are caused by something else:
Skin test. A skin prick test can determine your reaction to a particular food. In this test, a small amount of the suspected food is placed on the skin of your forearm or back. Your skin is then pricked with a needle to allow a tiny amount of the substance beneath your skin surface.
If you're allergic to a particular substance being tested, you develop a raised bump or reaction. Keep in mind, a positive reaction to this test alone isn't enough to confirm a food allergy.
Elimination diet. You may be asked to eliminate suspect foods for a week or two and then add the food items back into your diet one at a time. This process can help link symptoms to specific foods. However, this isn't a foolproof method.
Psychological factors as well as physical factors can come into play. For example, if you think you're sensitive to a food, a response could be triggered that may not be a true allergic one. If you've had a severe reaction to a food in the past, this method may not be safe.
The only way to avoid an allergic reaction is to avoid the foods that cause signs and symptoms. However, despite your best efforts, you may come into contact with a food that causes a reaction.
For a minor allergic reaction, over-the-counter or prescribed antihistamines may help reduce symptoms. These drugs can be taken after exposure to an allergy-causing food to help relieve itching or hives. However, antihistamines can't treat a severe allergic reaction.
For a severe allergic reaction, you may need an emergency injection of epinephrine and a trip to the emergency room. Many people with allergies carry an epinephrine autoinjector (EpiPen, Twinject, Auvi-Q). This device is a combined syringe and concealed needle that injects a single dose of medication when pressed against your thigh.
If your doctor has prescribed an epinephrine autoinjector:
While there's ongoing research to find better treatments to reduce food allergy symptoms and prevent allergy attacks, there isn't any proven treatment that can prevent or completely relieve symptoms. Unfortunately, allergy shots (immunotherapy), a series of injections used to reduce the effect of other allergies such as hay fever, aren't effective for treating food allergies.
Two treatments being studied are:
One of the keys to preventing an allergic reaction is to completely avoid the food that causes your symptoms.
Don't assume. Always read food labels to make sure they don't contain an ingredient you're allergic to. Even if you think you know what's in a food, check the label. Ingredients sometimes change.
Food labels are required to clearly list whether they contain any common food allergens. Read food labels carefully to avoid the most common sources of food allergens: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy and wheat.
Involve caregivers. If your child has a food allergy, enlist the help of relatives, baby sitters, teachers and other caregivers. Make sure they understand how important it is for your child to avoid the allergy-causing food and that they know what to do in an emergency.
It's also important to let caregivers know what steps they can take to prevent a reaction in the first place, such as careful hand-washing and cleaning any surfaces that might have come in contact with the allergy-causing food.
Research on alternative food allergy treatments is limited. However, many people do try them and claim that certain treatments help.
Herbal remedies. A few small studies of herbal remedies have shown some benefit in reducing symptoms and preventing anaphylaxis, including some Chinese medicine formulas. However, there's no reliable proof yet that these work.
In addition, concerns exist about the quality of some herbal preparations from China. If you do take an herbal remedy, be sure to tell your doctor about it. It may affect test results or interact with other medications you take.
A food allergy can be challenging and a source of ongoing concern. Having a good source of information and the opportunity to discuss the condition with others who share your concerns can be very helpful.
A number of Internet sites and nonprofit organizations offer information and forums for discussing food allergies. Some are specifically for parents of children with food allergies. The Food Allergy Research & Education website can direct you to support groups and events in your area.
Many people find it helpful to talk to others who are dealing with the same challenges.
The best way to prevent an allergic reaction is to know and avoid foods that cause signs and symptoms. For some people, this is a mere inconvenience, but others find it a greater hardship. Also, some foods — when used as ingredients in certain dishes — may be well hidden. This is especially true in restaurants and in other social settings.
If you know you have a food allergy, follow these steps:
Be careful at restaurants. Be certain your server or chef is aware that you absolutely can't eat the food you're allergic to, and you need to be completely certain that the meal you order doesn't contain it. Also, make sure food isn't prepared on surfaces or in pans that contained any of the food you're allergic to.
Don't be reluctant to make your needs known. Restaurant staff members are usually more than happy to help when they clearly understand your request.
If your child has a food allergy, take these precautions to ensure his or her safety:

Man Claiming He Invented the Internet Sues 326
wiedzmin writes "A low-profile Chicago biologist, Michael Doyle, and his company Eola Technologies, who has once won a $521m patent lawsuit against Microsoft, claim that it was actually he and two co-inventors who invented, and patented, the "interactive web" before anyone else, back in 1993. Doyle argues that a program he created to allow doctors to view embryos over the early Internet, was the first program that allowed users to interact with images inside of a web browser window. He is therefore seeking royalties for the use of just about every modern interactive Internet technology, like watching videos or suggesting instant search results. Dozens of lawyers, representing the world's biggest internet companies, including Yahoo, Amazon, Google and YouTube are acting as defendants in the case, which has even seen Tim Berners-Lee testify on Tuesday."

By M. Scott Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
For anyone who likes to be spooked out by a movie, "Dark Skies" can do the job.
It stars Keri Russell and Josh Hamilton as a pair of suburban parents trying to put up a good front during hard times.
Little do Lacy and Daniel Barrett know that their hard times are just beginning.
At first, they think someone with plenty of creativity and too much time is messing with them, and the trouble could be caused by one of their kids, Sam (Kadam Rockett) and Jesse (Dakota Goyo).
Over the course of the movie, the weird occurrences become more frequent and more intrusive, and they affect the family members in different ways.
The family's outward veneer is stripped as friends, neighbors and authority figures start to see the Barrett's suburban life falling apart.
And still, the family doesn't know exactly what's causing their trouble, nor do they know why they've been singled out for such treatment.
I've been deliberately vague because I don't want to ruin "Dark Skies" for anyone who might enjoy its chilling and startling moments. Writer and director Scott Stewart knows how to manipulate an audience's emotions.
I'm not a big fan of pictures like this, so it's hard for me to be won over. But I have been won over in the past, so I know quality when I see it, and "Dark Skies" isn't it.
When everything is explained at the end, I was annoyed, though not as annoyed as a woman in the theater who spouted a few obscenities at the screen.
I can't be specific, but "Dark Skies" ends in a way that made me think, That's just stupid. The big reveal is supposed to make all the little events in the movie add up to something. Instead, it subtracts.
If you're primed for vicarious frights, "Dark Skies" probably will deliver. But if you want anything other than scary moments, you're better off looking elsewhere.
I give "Dark Skies" a D.
It's showing at Malcos in Tupelo, Corinth and Columbus, as well as Hollywood Premier Cinemas in Starkville.
Look for movie reviews in Scene on Thursdays, and listen each Tuesday morning on Wizard 106.7 between 8:30 and 8:45 a.m.
Wizard review
Kelli Karlson with Wizard 106.7 gives "Dark Skies" a C.
"It was quite disturbing at times. I don't like to think about it."

text: Hello everyone. Just dropping a line to keep you up to date on what's going on with Rafting Newfoundland. It's going to be a busy week! For those of you who have stayed here, you have seen the potential for the landscaping. Well by the end of next week it's going to be completed! I have a landscape technician hired to do the job and he's very exited to get going. The road right from the highway will be upgraded with class A as well as the chalet driveways. Right after this landscaping is completed we will be concentrating on the raised deck in front of the chalets and surrounding the hot tub…all pressure treated. In addition to all this we are erecting a new, full color 5×10 lighted highway premises sign to replace the old one. I encourage anyone who may be looking for high end accommodations or if you are just curious to drop in and see the project. It is something special for Newfoundland!

Decided that collecting SW did not require completeness, only interest and happiness.

Have still held out against owning a cell phone or portable MP3/downloadable music player device.
Came to the realization that I'll probably remain single and not a father, uncle, or grandfather. (this might sound bad, but it's okay)
Voted in two presidential elections, and many other elections (there are more than just ones every four years, citizens).
In person, saw the Pittsburgh Pirates win a (actually saw three) regular season baseball game in which they won. Seriously.

9.18: Radius or Diameter of a Circle Given Area
Remember Terrence and his swimming? Take a look at this problem.
Terrence swam in a pool with an area of 452.16 sq. feet. What is the diameter of this pool?
To figure this out, you will need to know how to problem solve to find the radius or diameter of a circle. This Concept will teach you how to do this.
We have seen that when we are given the radius or the diameter of a circle, we can find its area. We can also use the formula to find the radius or diameter if we know the area. Let's see how this works.
The area of a circle is 113.04 square inches. What is its radius?
This time we know the area and we need to find the radius. We can put the number for area into the formula and use it to solve for the radius, .
Let's look at what we did to solve this. To solve this problem we needed to isolate the variable . First, we divided both sides by , or 3.14. Then, to remove the exponent, we took the square root of both sides. A square root is a number that, when multiplied by itself, gives the number shown. We know that 6 is the square root of 36 because .
The radius of a circle with an area of 113.04 square inches is 6 inches.
What is the diameter of a circle whose area is ?
What is this problem asking us to find? We need to find the diameter (not the radius!). What information is given in the problem? We know the area. Therefore we can use the formula to solve for the radius, . Once we know the radius, we can find the diameter. Let's give it a try.
The radius of a circle with an area of 379.94 square centimeters is 11 centimeters.
Remember, this problem asked us to find the diameter, so we're not done yet. How can we find the diameter?
The diameter is always twice the length of the radius, so the diameter of this circle is centimeters.
As we have seen, we can use the area formula whenever we are given information about a circle. If we know the diameter or radius, we can solve for the area, . If we are given the area, we can solve for the radius, . If we know the radius, we can also find the diameter.
Find the radius of each circle.
Example A
Area = 153.86 sq. in.
Solution: inches
Example B
Area = 379.94 sq. ft.
Solution: ft.
Example C
452.16 sq. m
Solution: meters
Here is the original problem once again.
Terrence swam in a pool with an area of 452.16 sq. feet. What is the diameter of this pool?
To figure this out, we need to use the formula for area and then solve using the given information.
We need to find the diameter of the pool. We can figure this out by doubling the radius.
The diameter of the pool is 24 feet.
Here are the vocabulary words in this Concept.
- Circle
- a set of connected points that are equidistant from a center point.
- Diameter
- the distance across the center of a circle.
- Radius
- the distance from the center of the circle to the outer edge.
- Area
- the space inside a two-dimensional figure
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
What is the radius of a circle with an area of 530.66 sq. inches?
To figure this out, we use the formula for finding the area of circle, then we solve using our given information.
The radius of this circle is 13 inches.
Video Review
Here is a video for review.
- This is a James Sousa video on finding the radius or diameter given an area.
Directions: Find each radius given the area of the circle.
1. 12.56 sq. in.
2. 78.5 sq. m
3. 200.96 sq. cm
4. 254.34 sq. in
5. 7.07 sq. ft.

Sara Curran receives mentoring award
Posted July 12, 2001; 11:18 a.m.
for Women in Society has selected Sara Curran, assistant professor of sociology, to receive the group's mentoring award. The award is presented annually to a sociologist who offers outstanding academic, professional and personal mentoring to colleagues and students.
The honor recognizes mentoring as work that "frequently goes unnoticed but that is crucial to the success of individual sociologists, to the strength of specific departments, and to the vitality of the discipline as a whole," according to the SWS award committee.
"One of the things I enjoy most is doing research with other people or helping people to define their own research projects," Curran said. "I feel happy to give back to other people what I have gotten from my own mentors."
Curran was nominated by graduate students at Princeton.

Nart Villeneuve has published a detailed summary of recent malware attacks on media and human rights groups who work on Chinese issues. He highlights a disturbing new trend. On Wednesday, Amnesty Hong Kong's website was repurposed by hackers to infect visitors with a wide variety of nasty malware. The Nobel Prize's website was also defaced earlier this month, for the same ends.
As with the e-mailed Nobel invite malware CPJ described earlier this week, these attacks target one vulnerable member of the dissident community, then use that person's own communications to infect others.
If you're an organization whose audience in China is of interest to the authorities, please take extra care with the security of your website. As Villeneuve says, even if this spate of attacks ebbs, attacking online news sites to spread targeted spyware is a trend that is bound to continue.

Considered in totality, President Barack Obama's foreign policy has been remarkably strong, surprisingly aggressive, and — more often than not — successful.
There are certainly aspects that trouble progressives: the heavy reliance on drone attacks, for example.
It is a measure of how dangerously unstable the planet has become that the basket of issues so perversely complicated that they defy even a hint of resolution seems to grow continuously: a Palestinian state, Iran's nuclear ambitions, North Korea's ongoing gangsterism, Syria's civil war, Mexico's drug-trafficking troubles.
Still, America's relations with the rest of the world are in a far better position than they were in the bad old days of George W. Bush. The US has wound down its presence in Iraq, is getting ready to do the same in Afghanistan, and has taken significant steps, along with Russia, to scale back its arsenal of nuclear weapons.
The killing of Osama bin Laden and the ongoing decimation of Al Qaeda's command structure speak to Obama's tenacity and resolve.
All of this drives the Republicans crazy. Obama, in very simple terms, has succeeded where the bully boys of the Bush administration failed.
Now, into the breech steps Republican senator John McCain, the failed presidential candidate whom history will remember as the man who inflicted Sarah Palin on the national political scene.
McCain wants the Justice Department to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate leaks that brought to the public's attention the news that the US was most likely involved in the cyber-attacks aimed at slowing down Iran's efforts to build a nuclear bomb.
It must kill McCain that those attacks were successful. If they had occurred when he or some other Republican was president, McCain would be boasting that they were solid evidence of the GOP's superior grasp of foreign policy.
With every passing day, McCain is sounding more and more like a bitter old fool. He wanted to keep the wars in Iraq going. He resists pulling out of Afghanistan. He favors a direct attack on Iran. And now he's agitating to get the United States involved in the admittedly horrible bloodbath that is Syria.
McCain won't rest until America has invaded much of the Muslim world. Until that day comes, presumably under President Mitt Romney, McCain is determined to discredit Obama's foreign-policy success.
It is not enough for McCain that the Republicans have reduced the federal government to virtual impotence during the worst economic crisis in our lifetimes. Now he wants to neuter the Obama White House so that it is incapable of conducting foreign policy.
McCain's conduct calls to mind the words of Samuel Johnson, who famously said that patriotism is too often the last refuge of scoundrels.
While McCain is busy trying to manufacture a phony crisis in Washington, a real and terrible economic threat is developing in Europe.
The Euro zone is in the early stages of a meltdown. Greece is scheduled to hold national elections on June 17 that may well result in its eventual withdrawal from the common economic currency that unites most of industrialized Europe.
If that were to happen, Europe could be plunged into an economic crisis the likes of which it has not seen since end of World War II.

Seems like this Op Ed in the NY times is trying to absolve Nancy & her crew of "responsibility"
What ever happened to owning up to one's responsibilities? At least toward the end of the article, there is an indication that the Gang of Four could have acted responsibly if they had moral conviction on the matter. Then it is again excused because the memory of 9/11 was still "raw".
Whether waterboarding is torture in the most accepted sense or not ... if these people had or have a moral conviction about it, that moral conviction should not be subject to "fear". If it is "bad" now, it was also "bad" then. If it is "bad" now, then they failed to act in accordance with their convictions when they could have/should have stood up for their convictions.
I find it hard to trust those whose moral convictions are based on what is expeditious to their political careers. Doesn't matter whether they are D or R.

"At that or any other briefing, and that was the only briefing that I was briefed on in that regard, we were not -- I repeat, we were not -- told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used, " Pelosi said on April 23.

The Senator who had by then taken Pelosi's position on the Committee did write a letter of objection on the issue. Pelosi says she "supported the letter". Wonder how she could do that if she didn't know anything? So, at some point she definitely knew that the interrogation methods were being used. It appears that there is nothing in writing from Pelosi to indicate her "support" of the letter of objection.

Nancy Pelosi has been caught in a lie. Anyone surprised? I am not. How will the liberal media cover this? Will they spend much ink on this? Doubtful.
A week from now, most of the American people will forget Nancy Pelosi was caught lying just as they forgot California Senator Barbara Boxer had the most outstanding "bounced" checks (wasn't it over 800 checks she wrote on her government account when it was out of funds ?). I don't recall ever hearing the end of the "free loans" she acquired nor do I recall how much her total came to. And did she ever pay the money back?
Anyone remember the outcome?
Funny thing, Majority Leader Hoyer, a card carrying liberl from my home state sounds like he is willing to leave Nancy hanging out to dry on this one.

Last paragraph of the CNN article:
"But when asked whether Pelosi testifying would be appropriate, Hoyer did not directly answer the question, saying, "The issue is what was done. If you don't have the facts pounded on the table, they (Republicans) are pounding on the table, or they are pounding on Speaker Pelosi. Take your pick. But they are doing so as a distraction, as a distraction from what was done in this case."
To what is Hoyer refering to when he says in the last sentence, "...what was done in this case."?
'What was done' is Nancy lied about what she knew! She should be the poster child for term limits!!!

for those of you who are familiar, how far does the video go in the development of the pup. It is quite pricey and also wanted to know if it is worth the $$$
Hopefully someone can post the contents or something to let you know how far it goes.
I'll say this about the $$$...
Buying a quality product and getting the right start for your pup at $129 is so much cheaper than fixing problems that develop from trying to save money with inferior or less complete products.
A quality training program is an investment in your puppy.
Plus, you can likely sell the think used in a few months for $90-100. So net cost will be $30-40. Think about it.

my pup is 13weeks. been working with her but looking for a solid system. is it too late to start her on this
The Hillman puppy training video brings the pup up to doing steady doubles.And lays the foundation for force fetch.You will have a nice dog on completion without any negative issues .Well worth the money..
I just ordered it from what i hear its worth every dime
I am about 2 weeks into it with my pup who will be 4 months next week! She has been doing fantastic and I really like the program! If the pup does not pick up on a days lesson just repeat it and work at your own pace as it is not a race! I can throw a mark and my pup won't move till released! No pressure at all just fun learning for the dog! Worth the money and can resell as mentioned!!! Really looking forward to getting into basics with this pup as he will be more than ready!
Just ordered it... I guess if i'm going to do this myself no sense skimping on the most important part... Still less than half of one month with a trainer
Got the complate set for Chtistmas from my wife.
Looking forward to trying it with the new puppy this spring.
Everyone I have talked to about the program has spoken highly of it.

It's not so simple. I approached the FBI with a proposal to use the military's already proven laser guidance and tracking systems to detect and rapidly respond to these threats. They apparently filed it under "kook" and never responded. The FBI is not interested in actually solving these cases. They're interested in finding someone to make an example out of and hopes that'll provide enough deterrence.
It won't.

If anyone has any other strategies for managing shader parameters in D3D9 / OpenGL, please share them below as well!
Part 0 - why?
D3D9 (without the Microsoft Effect framework, or the CGFX framework) only provides the interface of there being a global set of "constant registers". IMHO, the D3D10/11 abstraction of having a global set of "buffer registers" (each of which contains a number of constants) is not only easier to manage as a user of a graphics API, but also allows for much more efficient rendering systems.
Also IMHO, the GL abstraction of "shader instances" -- an object that contains a link to a program plus all of the constant values to be used with that program -- is the most inefficient abstraction to build an engine on top of, and is hard to manage due to different groups of constants being produced by different sources with different frequencies. The CBuffer abstraction solves all these issues elegantly.
Part 1 - describing your cbuffers.
If we're using SM2/3 on D3D9, then we don't have the cbuffer syntax available, so we need an alternate way to describe them when writing our shaders.
One option I've used professionally is to make your own shader language that cross-compiles into HLSL, which gives you the option to use whatever syntax you want -- this requries a large time-investment to get up and running though.
A simple option is to use a naming convention, and lots of manual register specification. Because I want to be able to set the values of an entire CBuffer with one call to Set*ShaderConstantF, we need all variables within a "cbuffer" to be in contiguous registers (hence the manual register allocation).
This option might lead you to write code that looks like below, and you can extract the cbuffer layouts by parsing the code.
//cbuffer material : register(b2) { float4 diffuse; float4 specular; } float4 cb2_material_diffuse : register(c0); float4 cb2_material_specular : register(c1);The option that I personally prefer is to embed a small piece of Lua code at the beginning of the shader file, enclosed in a comment. All my content-pipeline tools are written in C#, which is dead-simple to integrate with Lua, thanks to LuaInterface.
/*[FX] cbuffer( 2, 'Material', { { diffuse = float4 }, { specular = float4 }, { foo = float }, { bar = float2 }, { baz = float }, }) */ ...Before compiling a shader file with FXC, a C# tool extracts and executes the above Lua code (which as well as describing CBuffers, also describes techniques/passes/permutation-options, which are used to determine how many times to run FXC, and with what arguments). After running the Lua code, the C# tool has a description of the desired CBuffer layouts, which it can translate back into HLSL to produce a new temporary shader file, such as the snippet below. One advantage of this approach is it allows you to implement modern CBuffer packing rules, as long as you're ok with the scoping violations caused by #defines:
float4 diffuse : register(c0); float4 specular : register(c1); float4 _packed0_ : register(c2); #define foo _packed0_.x #define bar _packed0_.yz #define baz _packed0_.w #line 1 "D:\blah\test2.hlsl" ... original file contents herePart 2 - determining used CBuffers
Once you've got the above temporary HLSL files, you'll compile them as many times as is required by your techniques/passes/permutations - not all of the resulting binaries will use every CBuffer.
Below is my function for calling FXC - note that it uses both the /Fo option and the /Fc option, to output a shader binary and a text file that we can parse to get some information about the binary. Sure, you can load up the binary and use the D3D API to reflect on it, but I found this simpler, and I like KISS. The resulting binary code is returned, and the text file is parsed to fill in the usage parameter.
public byte[] CompileShader(string inputFile, ShaderProfile profile, string entry, Dictionary<string, string> defines, ShaderUsage usage) { string exe = Path.Combine(m_project.engineDirectory, "tools/fxc.exe"); string args = "/nologo /O3 "; args += String.Format("/E{0} ", entry); switch (profile) { case ShaderProfile.Pixel: args += "/Tps_3_0 "; break; case ShaderProfile.Vertex: args += "/Tvs_3_0 "; break; default: /* error handling */; } foreach (var define in defines) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(define.Value)) args += String.Format("/D{0} ", define.Key); else args += String.Format("/D{0}={1} ", define.Key, define.Value); } string tempOutBin = Path.GetTempFileName(); string tempOutAsm = Path.GetTempFileName(); args += String.Format("/Fo\"{0}\" /Fc\"{1}\" \"{2}\"", tempOutBin, tempOutAsm, inputFile); Process.Output output = Process.Run(exe, args); foreach (var msg in output.stderr) {/* error handling */} byte[] code = File.ReadAllBytes(tempOutBin); string[] info = File.ReadAllLines(tempOutAsm); ParseFxcResults(info, usage); File.Delete(tempOutBin); File.Delete(tempOutAsm); return code; }In the text file, you can search for "// Registers:" to find the section describing the register allocations actually used by the binary. I then use the Regex of:
(i.e. // some space, name=everything until next space, more space, reg=until next space, more space, size=until next space)
...to extract data from each line into the named-captures of name, reg and size. All you really need to do here, is collect all of the 'c' registers that are used and compare them against the cbuffer descriptions from earlier -- if the register lies in the range that you allocated for a cbuffer, then that cbuffer is used by this binary.
You can use this information to create a mask for your engine, so your engine knows which cbuffers need to be set prior to drawing something using this binary (to avoid useless shader parameter setting).
This allows to, for example, to have a "Transform" cbuffer, which is only referenced by your vertex-shader, and a "Material Colours" cbuffer, which is only referenced by your pixel shader -- The user of your API can naively bind their CBuffers to both the pixel and vertex shader cbuffer slots (i.e. 'b registers'), but your engine can avoid setting the transform data into the pixel constant registers, and avoid setting the material colours into the vertex constant registers.

Who Regulates Nursing Homes? | Deficiencies and Plans of Correction | Enforcement Remedies | Penalty Letter | Alternate Resolutions | Designation of Penalty Monies | Nursing Home Regulations | Information About Enforcement Actions
CDPH is responsible for ensuring nursing homes comply with state laws and regulations. In addition, CDPH has a cooperative agreement with CMS to ensure that facilities accepting Medicare and Medi-Cal (in California, Medicaid is referred to as Medi-Cal) payments meet federal requirements. Of California's 139,390 skilled nursing beds, on any given day approximately 68 percent are occupied by a Medi-Cal beneficiary.
Each year, CDPH L&C staff conducts approximately 1,320 on-site inspections of nursing homes and responds to approximately 6,650 complaints and 19,300 events reported by facilities. Events that facilities are required to report to CDPH ("reportable events") include interruptions of services essential to the health and safety of residents; alleged or suspected abuse; all fires, disasters, and other risks to resident life or health resulting from accidents or incidents at the facility; and administrator or director of nursing personnel changes. Investigation of complaints and reportable events also requires on-site inspections. These inspections, called surveys, evaluate compliance with both state and federal requirements.
CDPH L&C has over 600 surveyors and uses teams to inspect nursing homes. Teams consist primarily of registered nurses (RN) and life safety code surveyors. On some inspections, the teams may be joined by other professionals, such as pharmacists, nutritionists, physical and occupational therapists, infection control experts and physician consultants. RNs are the primary surveyors for complaint inspections, with consultant staff participation as needed.
Federal certification inspections are generally conducted on-site over a four to five day period, during which the inspection team evaluates all aspects of resident care and nursing home procedures and practices, and assesses facility compliance with state and federal standards. Areas of care reviewed during a federal certification inspection include residents' rights, facility practices, quality of life, activities, assessment and care plans, quality of care provided for specific needs, dietary services, housekeeping, staffing, pharmacy, physician services, environment, disaster preparedness, and quality assurance. Surveyors review compliance with state licensing requirements during the federal certification inspection or during a separate licensing inspection and during on-site complaint investigations.
Inspections include observations of resident care; inspection of all areas of the nursing home; interviews of residents, family members, staff or other individuals; and inspection of medical records and other documents. The inspection team also evaluates the quality of resident care through an analysis of statistical data reported by nursing homes and by a review of reportable event information or other notices filed with CDPH.
Inspections in response to complaints or reportable events are generally shorter than certification inspections and focus on those areas of resident care or services alleged to be violated. If during the course of a complaint investigation CDPH uncovers additional problems, a full on-site inspection may be initiated.
CDPH inspects nursing homes at least once every 9 to 15.9 months. The statewide average is once every 12 months, but is more frequent for facilities with poor inspection results and numerous verified complaints. CDPH conducts inspections without prior notice and changes inspection schedules annually to make it difficult for facilities to anticipate surveys. CDPH typically inspects nursing homes on weekdays, but survey teams also conduct inspections at night, on weekends, and during holidays.
At the conclusion of each inspection, CDPH shares its findings with nursing home administrative staff in an exit interview and in a survey report to the facility. Following each inspection, CDPH issues a written Statement of Deficiencies to the facility, listing each deficient practice identified during the inspection.
All nursing facilities in California must meet mandatory state standards that set the minimum and essential requirements of care for continued licensure. Survey teams also evaluate whether facilities meet federal requirements and certify their compliance with federal care standards. Facilities failing to meet the state or federal standards are subject to fines or other enforcement actions.
A deficiency is a nursing home violation of one or more specific licensure or certification requirement. Deficiencies range in scope and severity from isolated violations with no harm to residents to widespread violations that cause injuries or put residents in immediate jeopardy of harm or death. CDPH may identify a deficiency as a result of an on-site inspection that substantiates a violation of requirements. If CDPH identifies a deficiency, the nursing home must submit a written plan of correction detailing how and when the facility will correct each deficiency. CDPH may direct specific corrective measures. When conditions at a facility pose a serious risk to the health and safety of residents, CDPH declares an immediate jeopardy status. The facility must take immediate corrective action and if correction is not achieved, the facility may be terminated from receiving Medicare and/or Medi-Cal funding. If improvement does not occur, CDPH may need to find a new owner or relocate the residents.
In many cases, nursing homes correct less serious deficiencies by implementing a written plan of correction without incurring fines or other penalties. If warranted, CDPH may impose a fine, appoint a temporary manager or receiver, suspend or revoke the nursing home's license, or use other remedies for violations as provided by state or federal law. State statute categorizes citations that impose a civil monetary penalty as Class B, A, or AA. The associated fines range from $100 to $1,000 for Class B, $5,000 to $20,000 for Class A and $25,000 to $100,000 for Class AA. The citation class and amount of the fine depends upon the significance and severity of the substantiated violation, as defined in California law. Federal enforcement remedies include a written plan of correction, directed training, state monitoring, denial of payment for new admissions, ban on admissions, and fines ranging from $50 to $10,000 per day for survey violations and $1,000 to $10,000 for specific instance violations, such as a determination of immediate jeopardy or significant harm to the patient. The amount of the fine depends upon the scope and the severity of the substantiated violation(s).These actions are prescribed and defined in federal law. While CDPH can impose state fines, it can only recommend to CMS that a federal remedy other than a written plan of correction be imposed. CMS may impose, modify, or waive CDPH' recommended remedy.
When CDPH cites a nursing home for violation of a regulation or law, the Department issues a notice letter and a document (Form 2567 – Statement of Deficiencies) identifying the specific violations. These are public documents available from the CDPH L&C local district office.
Nursing homes can dispute survey findings and penalties. Facilities may ask to discuss the accuracy of inspection findings during the course of an inspection visit or during the exit interview. Nursing homes also may request a formal appeal depending upon the seriousness of the violations and whether the violations are state or federal requirements. State and federal law offer/provide different appeal processes.
CDPH deposits all penalty monies collected for violations of state standards into a special fund (Citation Penalty Account) which can be used for purposes related to the care and protection of facility residents. The Citation Penalty Account allows CDPH to safeguard facility residents and avoid closure of a facility whenever possible.
California licensing requirements are found in the California Code of Regulations, Title 22, Division 5 Chapter 3 – Skilled Nursing Facilities Section at https://govt.westlaw.com/calregs.
Federal requirements for certification as a provider for Medicare/Medi-Cal are found in the Code of Federal Regulations: 42CFR 483.00 at www.cms.hhs.gov.
Information on state and federal inspections and complaint investigations is available from CDPH. As you review an inspection report, it is important to remember that nursing homes have the right to appeal survey findings and penalties. Such appeals may be pending at the time the report is issued. On appeal, CDPH' decision may be upheld or reversed, or a settlement may be reached in which fines are reduced.
Inspection reports show only a one-time "snap-shot" of nursing home compliance with established standards. To assess more fully the quality of care provided by a facility, it is important to review current and past survey reports. You may also wish to discuss services and performance levels with your doctor and with family members or friends who have used a facility. A visit to the facility may also be appropriate.
Complete inspection reports and nursing home plans of correction, edited to ensure patient confidentiality, are available at each nursing home as well as at the CDPH L&C local district office. Recent federal inspection surveys are posted on the web at www.medicare.gov/NHCompare/home.asp.
The Health Facilities Consumer Information System (HFCIS) website provides health care consumers and general public with information about licensed long-term care facilities and hospitals throughout California. A nursing home or hospital can be located by entering a zip code, city, or county. A map will appear displaying the facilities located within the look-up area.
In addition to numerous links to other governmental, advocate and provider organizations, HFCIS also provides consumers and general public with an on-line complaint form to file a complaint regarding a specific facility. Upon submission, the complaint is forwarded to the appropriate Licensing and Certification District Office for investigation.

Cardiac catheterization involves passing a thin flexible tube (catheter) into the right or left side of the heart, usually from the groin or the arm.
Catheterization - cardiac; Heart catheterization
You will get medicine before the test to help you relax.
The health care provider cleans a site on your arm, neck, or groin and inserts a line into one of your veins. This is called an intravenous (IV) line.
A larger thin plastic tube called a sheath is placed into a vein or artery in your leg or arm. Then longer plastic tubes called catheters are carefully moved up into the heart using live x-rays as a guide. Then the doctor can:
If you have a blockage, you may have angioplasty and a stent placed during the procedure.
The test may last 30 - 60 minutes. If you also need special procedures, the test may take longer. If the catheter is placed in your groin, you will usually be asked to lie flat on your back for a few hours after the test to avoid bleeding.
You will be told how to take care of yourself when you go home after the procedure is done.
You should not eat or drink for 6 - 8 hours before the test. The test takes place in a hospital and you will be asked to wear a hospital gown. Sometimes, you will need to spend the night before the test in the hospital. Otherwise, you will come to the hospital the morning of the procedure.
Your health care provider will explain the procedure and its risks. A witnessed, signed consent form for the procedure is required.
Tell your doctor if you:
The study is done by trained cardiologists with the assistance of trained technicians and nurses.
You will be awake and able to follow instructions during the test.
You may feel some discomfort or pressure where the catheter is placed. Some people have some discomfort from lying still during the test or from lying flat on your back after the procedure.
In general, this procedure is done to get information about the heart or its blood vessels. It may also be done to treat some types of heart conditions, or to find out if you need heart surgery.
Your doctor may perform cardiac catheterization to diagnose or evaluate:
The following procedures may also be done using cardiac catheterization:
Cardiac catheterization carries a slightly higher risk than other heart tests. However, it is very safe when performed by an experienced team.
The risks include:
Possible complications of any type of catheterization include the following:

Curiously, the yucca fries ($6.95), native to Peru and served with most entrées, are only middling, not really crisp, while the plantains — from Africa — are wonderfully sweet, and the yuquitas ($6.95) — native to Brazil — are glorious. This may be due to the fact that yucca is closer to pure starch than is a potato, so the symphony of starch, grease, and salt is uninhibited by too many vitamins or minerals. It also may have to do with correct frying temperatures, which are different for yucca and potatoes. Certainly the huancaina sauce, borrowed from an Andean potato dish, is a major factor in the success of Machu Picchu's yucca fries. It's creamy with rich flavor and real bite courtesy of the Peruvian yellow chili called aji amarillo. Another creamy sauce is available, this one green and a little less incendiary. Both make wonderful fried-yucca dips.
Choclo Peruano ($6.99), a seasonal peasant meal of corn on the cob with only eight rows of giant white kernels, is a fine traditional appetizer. It comes frozen from Peru and is served with rubbery white cheese. You could also move into the key of meat with combination street-snack platters. The "Picante" ($12.99) features grilled tripe, chicken gizzards, and pieces of beef-heart meat, all pre-treated with cumin and pepper. The beef heart, the classic "anticucho" ($7.99 à la carte), is the best, though the gizzards are too chewy and need more taste of the fire. The tripe are the easiest to eat, but don't absorb flavor so well.
Machu Picchu has some fun salads, such as quinoa ($6.95), which is a novel use of the unusual grain. I've never had it as a cold molded salad, but it works better than pasta salad, garnished with avocado and few of the giant corn kernels. The Machu Picchu salad ($6.99) is similar to a garden salad, with kernels and cheese cubes. The Misti salad, served with many of the entrées, is named for a looming volcano near the mile-high colonial city Arequipa. Unfortunately, this is a modest heap of lettuce and tomato.
Familiar appetizers and small plates are less interesting. The empanada ($3.50) is a fine pastry turnover with a chopped meat and vegetable filling that isn't at the level of the Argentine version, or even a decent Cornish pasty. But the tamale ($6.99) is enormous and certainly fills you up, as it's mostly tamale and not much pork. I didn't see any hot sauce bottles, so I borrowed some of the huancaina sauce.

The Colorado House Economic and Business Development Committee held a public hearing March 22 on SB 15, a bill that would have restricted homeowner's insurance carriers' underwriting freedoms and their ability to provide consumers with rates that accurately reflect the consumer's risk of loss exposure. The committee voted 9-4 to defeat the bill and then 8-5 to postpone it indefinitely, so that it is dead for the 2011 legislative session.

Fights To Watch In January 2013
- Written by Rian Scalia
It's the beginning of the month again and that means it's time for me to make people aware of some of the great fights happening this month. This January is actually a pretty down month so there will only be one post with ten fights.
January 6: Yuki vs. Sun Hyun Lee II - RISE 91/M-1MC INFINITY.II - Tokyo, Japan
Yuki is RISE's 63kg champion and he'll be defending that title in a rematch here against Sun Hyun Lee, who defeated him once before back in June. Lee is a very good fighter and Yuki really has a tough task ahead of him. These two are quite the actions fighters so it should be a really good fight with a ton of damage being dished out. It's also five rounds. On paper I'd probably say this is a potential fight of the year, despite it being so early.
January 6: Pornsaneh Sitmonchai vs. Yosuke Morii - RISE 91/M-1MC INFINITY.II - Tokyo, Japan
How can anyone not want to see Pornsaneh fight? After a scheduled fight at RISE last month fell through, he's taking on Yosuke Morii here and coming off a nice stoppage win over Kwankao Chor. Rajapatsaduisarn in November. Morii is going to have his hands full here, as he isn't even the best in Japan at his weight. Pornsaneh of course is going to bring the fight as always and this has all the makings of a good fight, or just a good old destruction from Pornsaneh.
January 9: Songkom Sakhomsin vs. Ekmongkol Gaiyanghadao - Rajadamnern Stadium - Bangkok, Thailand
This is a nice fight at Rajadamnern between two very good fighters, with Songkom being #7 at 118lbs at Lumpini while Ekmongkol is #10 at 122 lbs at Lumpini. Songkom is known a lot for his hands and has vicious KO power that saw him get some highlight knockouts such as the one against Nuengthep Eminentair back in August. Songkom comes off his second win in pro boxing back on December 3 while Ekmongkol won against Saengmorakot Tor Manothammaraksa on December 18.
January 14: Yuta Kubo vs. Roman Mailov - Jawin presents Krush Grand Prix 2013 - Tokyo, Japan
Yuta Kubo is probably Japan's best kickboxer and he looks to continue racking up wins after his unbeaten 2012. This is the quarter final fight of Krush's 67kg GP tournament, which is a one night tournament. Despite coming down in weight from 70kg, Roman Mailov is definitely the underdog here and still the "prospect" in this fight. Most expect Kubo to win but I'm very interested if Mailov will be able to have any success. This fight will tell a lot about where Mailov stands, as he's signed to GLORY and set to debut for them this year.
January 14: Shota Takiya vs. Mike Alamos - Jawin presents Krush Grand Prix 2013 - Tokyo, Japan
One of Japan's best at 55kg, Shota Takiya gets to face a new foreigner now after Andy Howson was forced to pull out of the fight. He'll fight Mike Alamos, the brother of Lumpinee 140lb champion Damien Alamos. Mike is undefeated and with his brother being such a highly touted fighter, the expectations are obviously pretty high. Takiya is one of the top 55kg kickboxers though and Mike, like his brother is a Muay Thai stylist. This fight is particularly interesting because we don't know how well Mike Alamos will do. We'll just have to wait and see.
January 19: Johann Fauveau vs. Ludovic Millet - Meaux, France
After a good 2012 year that saw him beat Jordan Watson, Johann Fauveau kicks off 2013 with a fight that he should win against Ludovic Millet. Fauveau will be making his debut for GLORY on March 23 in London so this should be a good fight to get him going towards that.
January 25: Kevin Ross vs. Chris Kwiatkowski - Lion Fight 8 - Las Vegas, USA
Kevin Ross finally makes his reutrn to action after a long layoff from injury, and he does it live on AXS TV against Christ Kwiatkowski. Kwiatkowski certainly isn't an easy fight after such a long layoff. Ross established himself as one of the best, if not the best American Muay Thai fighters and it should be interesting to see how he does in his first fight back. Ross is always in good fights so this one should not disappoint and will be a great debut for Lion Fight on TV.
January 26: Saenchai PKSaenchaimuaythaigym vs. Diesellek Aoodonmuang - Yokkao Extreme 2013 - Milan, Italy
This is a great fight, and it's not everyday that you see two top Thais fight each other outside of Thailand. Yokkao was good enough to make this a normal fight of five rounds which is how it should be. Diesellek and Saenchai haven't fought yet so it should be interesting to see how they match up, especially with Diesellek's aggressive style and if Saenchai's super busy schedule comes into play. The best part of this fight will undoubtedly be Diesellek's haircut.
January 26: Aikpracha Meenayothin vs. Frank Giorgi - Yokkao Extreme 2013 - Milan, Italy
This is a very good match-up for who's available to fight with Aikpracha. Frank Giorgi is a very game fighter. Of course, the main attraction here is Aikpracha and how he continues to roll and smash everyone in his path. This fight is a good way for both fighters to start off 2013.
January 26: Yoshihiro Sato vs. Kenta - Krush.26 - Tokyo, Japan
Yoshihiro Sato makes his return to fighting in Japan after almost a year of not doing so, against Kenta. Both Sato and Kenta have seen struggles lately and the loser here will plummet even further while the winner will at least start to work back up. Sato is definitely the favorite here and will enjoy a huge height advantage but when it comes down to it, he's still very hittable so this could turn into a battle or just be Sato working over Kenta. Yasuhiro Kido also defends his Krush 70kg title on the card so a Sato win could possibly set up a rematch with Kido.
