Symposium planned on Eisgruber book, March 9
Posted March 2, 2007; 06:07 p.m.
A symposium focusing on "Religious Freedom and the Constitution," a book co-written by Princeton Provost Christopher Eisgruber, is planned for 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 9, in 101 McCormick Hall.
Three scholars will comment on the book, published this year by Harvard University Press, and then Eisgruber will respond.
Participating will be: Marci Hamilton, who holds the Paul R. Verkuil Chair in Public Law at Yeshiva University's Cardozo School of Law; Erik Mazur, associate professor and chair of religion at Bucknell University; and Winnifred Sullivan, associate professor of law and director of the law and religion program at the State University of New York-Buffalo Law School.
Eisgruber wrote "Religious Freedom and the Constitution" with Lawrence Sager, dean of the law school at the University of Texas-Austin. The authors offer an understanding of religious freedom called "equal liberty" that is guided by two principles: that no one within the reach of the Constitution ought to be devalued on account of the spiritual foundation of their commitments; and that all persons should enjoy broad rights of free speech, personal autonomy, associative freedom and private property. With "equal liberty" as their guide, the authors offer practical terms for the settlement of many hot-button issues that have plunged religious freedom into controversy.
Eisgruber is the Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Public Affairs in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the University Center for Human Values. From 2001 to 2004, he served as director of Princeton's Program in Law and Public Affairs.
The symposium, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Center for the Study of Religion.

Ok I've restarted pc, rebooted/boot tethered iPhone 4 and I get the same error. Has anybody used iFaith to restore to 5.0 while on 5.0 and then tried updating to 5.0.1? I'm beginning to wonder if that's been tested and if it won't allow to. That would suck! I'd forever be stuck on 5.0. I cannot figure out any other way. There's only one more option and I'm waiting for the ipsw to be downloaded straight through iTunes. I've downloaded the ipsw from 3 other sources and I always get the same message as before, that the firmware is not compatible with this device.
Poet, update to 5.0.1, then save your blobs and apticket with iFaith. Then open Redsn0w, select the 5.0 ipsw, then jailbreak. Shut off the iPhone, select again the 5.0 ipsw (while you're still on 5.0.1) then Just boot. You will boot into 5.0.1 jb'd.
Why do you want to restore to 5.0 when you're already on 5.0? Curious.
iPhone "Nathan's iPhone 4" cannot be restored/updated because firmware is not compatible
So im wondering if using that custom ipsw from iFaith has some how messed up my phone and won't let me update now. It worked great restoring to 5.0 (while on 5.0), but I have no idea what the problem is now. I'm downloading the ipsw straight through iTunes right now (7 hour download) to see if that works, but I'm not sure how because I downloaded the ipsw for iPhone 4 5.0.1 from 3 very reliable sources including modmyi that all give me the firmware not compatible message
It takes a couple hours to do it all but it worked for my Verizon iPhone. Good luck!
The issue I'm having is that when I try to restore or update through iTunes it's telling me the fw is not compatible like its for a different device but I have the right ipsw. It's the original apple signed ipsw, not custom (for 5.0.1)
If you used tu sometime check so its not pointing the host to cydia( just à tip)
Since my iphone is on 4.3.3... will i be able to to 5.0.1 and if wanted to go back to 4.3.3?? and if so how??
Of course, you don't really need to update to 5.0.1 to save your SHSH w/ APT. Tiny Umbrella's latest version has been updated to save the SHSH w/ APT, so you could just use that, since Apple is still signing 5.0.1.
The other thing you can try is to restore using a custom Sn0wbreeze 5.0.1 IPSW if getting the iFaith SHSH w/ APT is that important to you and none of these other suggestions work.
If none of these work, you should just try to update the phone on another PC, or make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed, as this could cause it to not recognize the firmware as well. Good luck!
If you have access to another PC, I would definitely try to restore using the other PC. When the restore is finished you will just plug the phone back into your normal PC and right click on your iPhone in the left pane of iTunes and click on restore from backup. This will put all of your stuff back on it.
NOTE: I'm not trying to ruffle your feathers either. I feel like you have been immensely helpful to a lot of people today, I just think your off the mark regarding this one thing. Thanks for all your help!!
To go back to 4.3.3, you will use iFaith, just make sure to have the SHSH blobs for 4.3.3 saved so you can cook your custom iFaith firmware file. If you have any trouble downgrading try using iTunes version lower than 10.5, but this should not be an issue.
I think that if you give it a week, you'll not mind the tethered jailbreak, if that is what you are worried about. I have been using the tethered jailbreak for 2 months and it is surprisingly stable. I have only had to boot my phone twice, and those 2 times were because I let my battery die. With the SemiTether tweak that's out now, even if you do let your battery die as soon as you hook it up to a charger you will be able to boot to a stock state. It's very stable; these guys have worked very hard on this. Give it a chance and keep on top of your battery and you'll not mind it at all.
I upgraded straight from my jb 5.0 two days ago and I'm running a fresh restore. So you CAN update from a modded OS without any problems. I haven't noticed anything yet. I'm not jailbroken though(holding off for the untethered so I don't have to restore)
[QUOTE=iSteveO;6330751]IF you need to preserve your baseband for unlocking, you can update to iOS 5.0.1 using a custom sn0wbreeze IPSW, and you will already be jailbroken. If you are not concerned with the baseband and are not unlocked, then you can just do a regular clean restore using iTunes normally for 5.0.1 while they are still signing it before the public release of 5.1. Then, if you plan on staying on 5.0.1, you can jailbreak using redsn0w if you didn't use sn0wbreeze. Or after you've restored from apple you can restore again using a sn0wbreeze 5.0.1 IPSW to jailbreak; your preference.
To go back to 4.3.3, you will use iFaith, just make sure to have the SHSH blobs for 4.3.3 saved so you can cook your custom iFaith firmware file. If you have any trouble downgrading try using iTunes version lower than 10.5, but this should not be an issue.

I keep trying to do the update and I'm getting an error message from ITunes... 3194.. and I read up on it and did do all the things that caused it but doesn't seem to work.
Ok, to all the people that were trying to help me for the " iPhone xxxxxxx cannot restore because firmware is not compatible" issue, I figured out the problem after running through ifunbox/ssh all night long. This is incredibly strange and just making my frustrations with Apple even larger. I recently purchased (in August) an iPhone 4 for my fiancé and then purchased a 4s about a month ago. For some reason they had changed the serial number on this phone in their records so it was showing it as I have 2 iPhone 4s's. It didn't show when I was custom ipsw for 5.0 when I needed to restore from other issues (literally 15 min after iFaith v1.4 was released so that saved my *** greatly. I thank iH8sn0w for pming me and letting me know before I updated to 5.0.1 without saving those APTickets). So after Apple changed that serial number to what it was supposed to be, I have been able to update to 5.0.1. I know somebody said something about that tu can save them (which I did save them with TU) , but they're useless until a new version of redsn0w is released (from what I gather from musclenerd). So I wanted to make sure I grab them now with iFaith just in case something happened and that ability changed. I'd rather be safe than sorry. So I saved my APTickets for 5.0, then updated to 5.0.1, saved APTickets for 5.0.1 (which doesn't have to be jbn to grab the APTickets btw), and then downgraded back to 5.0 and everything worked perfect. Thanks for all your ideas and I just wanted to tell you about the stupidity that Apple has shown. Thanks
The news is that the untethered JB will work with 5.0.1As I reported earlier this week, iH8sn0w released iFaith version 1.4 which allows you to save your iOS 5.0 SHSH blobs and APticket so that you can create a custom iOS 5.0 firmware file to use in downgrading your iDevice back to iOS 5.0. The guide on saving your iOS 5.0 SHSH blobs and APticket can be read here. iFaith works with iOS 5.0.1 too. But since people are nervous that the Chronic Dev Team's untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 might not work with iOS 5.0.1,
I fixed my issue... A little bit of reading and found out the issue was a setting with TU.... So in good to go now
i have an iphone 4 running on 4.3.3 cfw (custom firmware ) and would like to preserve my baseband and upgrade to 5.0 or 5.0.1, i would like to know if i can follow the above tutorial to create the CFW and update it while preserving the baseband using ifaith
Where's the "one click root" app? My bad wrong forums xD
But on a serious note (not to upset the fanbois) This is nice to have and as like a lot of people I am too waiting for a 4s jailbreak

Family: Fabaceae, Pea view all from this family
Description Cytisus scoparius, the Common Broom and Scotch Broom, syn. Sarothamnus scoparius, is a perennial leguminous shrub native to western and central Europe.
In Britain and Ireland the standard name is Broom, but this name is also used generically for other related species, and the term Common Broom is sometimes used for clarification. In other English-speaking countries, the most prevalent common name is Scotch Broom (or Scot's Broom); English Broom is also occasionally used.
There are two subspecies of Cytisus scoparius:
Cytisus scoparius subsp. scoparius. Throughout the species' range.
Cytisus scoparius subsp. maritimus (Rouy) Heywood. Western Europe, on maritime cliffs. Differs in prostrate growth, not over 0.4 m tall, and downy young shoots.
Plants of Cytisus scoparius typically grow to 1–3 m (3–9 ft) tall, rarely to 4 m (13 ft), with main stems up to 5 cm (2 in)thick, rarely 10 cm (4 in). The shrubs have green shoots with small deciduous trifoliate leaves 5–15 mm long, and in spring and summer is covered in profuse golden yellow flowers 20–30 mm from top to bottom and 15–20 mm wide. Flowering occurs after 50-80 growing degree days. In late summer, its legumes (seed pods) mature black, 2–3 cm long, 8 mm broad and 2–3 mm thick; they burst open, often with an audible crack, forcibly throwing seed from the parent plant. This is the hardiest species of broom, tolerating temperatures down to about -25° C, +10° F. Cytisus scoparius contains toxic alkaloids that depress the heart and nervous system.
Cytisus scoparius is found in sunny sites, usually on dry, sandy soils at low altitudes. In some places outside of its native range, such as India, South America and western North America, it has become an ecologically destructive colonizing invasive species in grassland, shrub and woodland, and other habitats .
As a legume, the shrub fixes nitrogen in the soil by a symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium bacteria.
Habitat Cities, suburbs & towns, Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Fields.
Range Alaska, Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Great Lakes, Texas, Eastern Canada, California, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, New England, Western Canada, Northwest.

'Cause I know you don't mean the Oregon Ducks - as yes they've won 15 straight or so on the road in such strongholds as Pullman, Wash., Boulder, Colo., and maybe Tempe, Ariz., but technically wasn't the (lousy) 2010 BCS championship game that they embarrassed themselves in on the road too?
I know if you take those kinds of games - neutral site road games - into consideration, 'Bama's again got it all over your runner (or is that perennial also-ran?) Ducks as best road team in the country. 'Bama's "BCS road games" always have a happier outcome and so long as their "strength of (7-time defending BCS championship conference-) schedule" is good enough to get them back there, works for me.

Proteins are involved in how our bodies develop and fight disease as well as how we behave and how we sense the world around us. Genes are instructions for making proteins, each of which is made up of some combination of building-block molecules called amino acids. Proteins can be hundreds of amino acids long, so they are complex and difficult to study. Although protein sequencing to find out the order of the amino acids in a particular protein is pretty easy for a biochemist, it is not simple for a biochemist to figure out all the possible shapes those amino acids can fold into.
is a popular online citizen-science game, in which players are scored on the structure of proteins that they've folded. In Foldit puzzles, for example, players are rewarded for solving
, places where the protein is not consistent with known biochemical patterns.
Seth Cooper
is the lead designer of Foldit, and one of the original creators of the game. He is currently the creative director for the
Center for Game Science
at the University of Washington. In a
Science Observer
American Scientist
associate editor
Katie Burke
discussed Foldit and other citizen science games. The following is an extended version of her conversation with Cooper:
Compare playing Foldit to playing other games. What did you use as your inspiration, and what can a person who hasn't played Foldit expect?
It's most like a puzzle game. There's not a lot of fast-paced action. There are no time-critical kinds of things, other than approaching the deadline for a particular puzzle closing. When we started, we often thought about it as a 3D Tetris. In
you're trying to fit all the blocks together to fill in all the empty space and remove the lines, and protein folding is a lot like that, except it's in three dimensions. You want to remove all the empty space from the interior of the protein by packing everything in as tightly as possible. But there aren't a lot of nonscientific games out there that are very similar to it that I know of. It definitely requires some kind of 3D spatial reasoning to follow.
You can also build your own protein, which could be a little bit like
, because there's more creativity in the new design puzzles. You're not just trying to solve a problem that already exists—it's much more open-ended. You can build the protein up, more or less from scratch, starting with a scaffold that you can change to be whatever you want, building it with whatever little molecular subcomponents that you feel like. So there's a lot of freedom and creativity.
What was it like to work on gamifying protein folding?
When we started out, we didn't know what parts of the protein folding problem people would be good at, which parts people would find interesting, how much we would need to teach people about protein folding to allow them to be effective players, how we should make the protein look, what kinds of ways people should be able to interact with the protein. There were all these different variables and possibilities to consider. And it's a double challenge when you're making a game that has some kind of purpose, because you not only have to make a fun game, which just by itself is a pretty big challenge, but you're also constrained by having to make a fun game that has some real scientific application. Before we released the game, we spent about a year coming up with prototypes. The game development team was going back and forth with the biochemists in the
Baker Lab
here at the University of Washington, seeing what they thought would be useful and watching people play the game to see where they got stuck, where they got confused, what kinds of things they liked to do and what kinds of problems they could solve. In a sense, we haven't really stopped doing that.
We released Foldit about four years ago online, after a year of alpha testing. Instead of just a few people in the lab talking to people directly, we're now using telemetry and analytics. The game records the structure and the moves that the players do, and we get data that we use to improve the game in every aspect, from the quality of the scientific results that are coming back to how long people play the introductory levels that are supposed to teach the game. The whole game is like an ongoing, continuous experiment. We release updates every couple of weeks with new features. Every week, we publish a different set of puzzles. So we're adapting the game to the players to make it the most effective scientific problem-solving tool that we can.
What sort of people like playing this game, which requires quite a time investment to get to levels where they are working on a real-life protein?
A lot of different people
are interested in playing the game. I think it's much broader than what you might typically consider the core gamer demographic. There's a pretty big international community. Most of the players are from the United States, but there are a large number from Europe, Australia, New Zealand and other countries. I think that a lot of the players are brought into the game or at least stick around for a number of reasons: They are motivated by the sense of purpose of contributing to science. It's a game, but you're not just playing a game. Something can come out of it, and we've shown that scientific results actually do come out of the game-play. A lot of the players, top players even, don't have much background in biochemistry, and they're still able to do well and solve interesting problems.
Do you get such a broad group because the game provides a variety of motivations, which in turn draw in a lot of different people?
We built the game using many different rewards or motivations. It's designed to encourage competition, because everyone is trying to fold their version of the protein better than everyone else to get the highest score. But it's not just every person competing against every other person. There's a lot of social interaction that's supported by the game—chat and forums and things like that. Players can form teams to work together. So individual players can fold the protein for a little while, and then they can share that with other members of their group, who can pick up where they left off. The whole group gets credit for what the members have done, and the groups are competing against each other as well.
The leaderboard system on the website is also meant to motivate people. We support different skill sets, rewarding and recognizing players for doing what they're good at. There are leaderboards overall for everyone, but there are also leaderboards for different types of puzzles, for individuals working alone and for groups working collaboratively.
There are puzzles that are just protein structure prediction, where you're trying to figure out the shape of a naturally occurring protein. And then there are puzzles where you're trying to design an entirely new protein. There are extra tools in the game that allow you to change the amino acids and the atomic structure of the protein, rather than just fold up some existing one. And we actually have a fairly recent type of puzzle, called "
," in which there are multiple subpieces of the protein that are all exactly the same; they're symmetrical. You can only change one of those subpieces, and when you change that one, all the others change in that same way. So we reward all the different kinds of skills that people can bring to developing solutions to each type of game. The game also looks fun and approachable to make players feel more motivated than they might when opening up a science textbook and seeing a standard picture of a protein.
What is the outcome when you design a protein? Is it synthesized?
In Foldit's design puzzles, the players are able to build a hypothetical protein and see how it works in the game. The game's score is based on a proxy for how well the protein would work in the lab, whether that's how well it catalyzes some reaction that the scientists are interested in, or how well this protein sticks to some part of a virus, or even in the case of the Symmetry puzzles, how well the protein sticks to itself. Then we take the solutions that players come up with and present those to scientists for analysis. Solutions that are promising are then synthesized in the lab. We've been doing this for a fair number of the puzzles that the players have completed now.
We published
a paper
several months ago about a structure that the scientists and the players codesigned. The scientists were interested in an enzyme that catalyzes the Diels-Alder reaction, which brings together two small molecules to form a particular kind of bond that the scientists were interested in making. This catalysis would be useful for building other kinds of small molecules, such as drugs and chemicals. We went back and forth between the scientists and the players with several rounds of puzzles. In the end, we designed an enzyme that was about 20 times more efficient in catalyzing the reaction than the one the scientists had started with. And the really cool part of the solution was that the players had inserted about 13 amino acids, a really big departure from the structure that we started with. When the scientists looked at it, they said it was such a drastic change that it was something they wouldn't possibly have considered, because they wouldn't have thought it would work at all. But the players didn't know that, so they just tried something that they thought would work, and it turned out to work really well. So they ended up with an enzyme that was much more efficient than, and quite structurally different from, the initial enzyme.
What are some other major breakthroughs that should be highlighted?
One really exciting recent result was with something in the game called "The Cookbook," which allows the players to script or code up their strategies in the game. You basically write up what we call a
, which is an automated tool that will run moves in Foldit that the players have written. Players can share and modify these recipes online. We had this tool in the game so that we could learn strategies from the players and then automate those strategies. When we looked at the data, we found that one recipe was beating pretty much the next couple recipes combined in terms of popularity. This recipe was called "
Blue Fuse version 1.1
." It was pretty simple, only a few lines. When one of the biochemists we were working with looked at it, he said it looked pretty familiar to him because it was similar to an algorithm that they were developing in the biochemistry lab, but they hadn't published it yet. Organically, the community of Foldit players had come up with the same algorithmic moves that the scientist in the biochemistry lab had come up with independently. So we wrote
a joint paper
on both of the algorithms.
Have educators used Foldit? How does Foldit help players understand proteins?
We've been contacted by a fair number of teachers who are using Foldit for their classes. We know that sometimes they assign playing a puzzle for homework, so the students can see what proteins are like and get a sense of what they are before they learn the scientific details. We designed the game not necessarily to teach biochemistry but to teach the mechanics of how you would go about folding a protein. The game is a good starting place to encourage excitement about science and proteins, before getting into details of how proteins work. But one of the things that we're starting to work on now is a version of the game that's tailored specifically toward use in the classroom. We're supporting as much of the scientific curriculum as we can through interaction with proteins and other biological molecules. We'd like this version to be an effective teaching tool, while also setting up a way for educators interested in using the game to connect more easily. That way, when someone comes up with a good way to integrate the game into the classroom, other teachers could learn from that.
Do you think that humans will always be better than computers at folding proteins?
Once the players have the ability to automate some of the things that they do, some of the game becomes strategizing when you would run particular algorithms. If the players came up with an algorithm that solves protein folding, that would be really amazing. Proteins are very complex. It would take a long time, I think, for computers to catch up with people in many of these spatial reasoning and visual processing problems, because there are just so many variables. But even beyond that, players can be creative and come up with new things, which is even more challenging for computers to do. I think that thinking in nonintuitive and novel ways puts people even that much further beyond what computers are able to do.
What are the major changes that you've seen as the game has developed?
We started the game in 2007 and released it in 2008. The
that we published compared the players' protein folding with the biochemists' state-of-the-art protein-folding algorithm. The game teaches some high-level rules, and one of them is that hydrophobic regions of the protein should be on the interior of the protein and away from water. In the game, hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions are color-coded. The players fixed incorrectly exposed hydrophobic areas better than the computational algorithm could. Soon after that paper, we
discovered the shape of a retroviral protease enzyme
that is associated with AIDS in monkeys. Then we added support for the recipes and the scripts, and we had
the "Blue Fuse" result
. We've added support for protein design, which resulted in the
design of the Diels-Alder enzyme
. Recently, we added support for the different leaderboards for the different puzzle categories. Since then, we've added a lot of new features, such as the "Symmetry" puzzles. We also added puzzles based on electron density, where, from some experiments, you can get a little information about where the mass of the protein is, and you can visualize that as a cloud that you want to fit the protein into. We just released a version of the game that supports Kinect. Rather than just using the mouse and keyboard, you can use
to grab parts of the protein and push pieces with your hands. We wanted to try to support more natural 3D interactions and movements with the proteins.
What can we expect from Foldit in the future?
In addition to novel protein designs, new symmetry games, the latest interactions using Kinect, and innovative educational interfaces, we're also looking into new kinds of games beyond Foldit. One idea is based on DNA and DNA nanomachines. You can use DNA as a building material and, based on the preferences of the nucleotide-base pairings, you can cause DNA to self-assemble into little shapes, machines and devices that move and interact with other molecules. We want to build something inspired by Foldit through which players build little pieces of DNA from scratch or from some initial scaffold. These DNA pieces can be designed to do things such as move around in the body, help to actively build up structures or fight a disease. We want it to be really open-ended, so that players can come up with things that we haven't even thought of. There's really no telling what people will be able to do if you give them the tools and the power to do it.

Because my own reaction to the shared email was immediate and strong, I was surprised that no one mentioned the issue that struck me right between the eyes. Perhaps courtesy demanded that this particular issue be ignored, particularly since the name of the email correspondent had been included. For that reason, I decided to withhold my comment, i.e., not have it appear in conjunction with the email. But I think there's an important point to be considered. Hence I'll make my remarks here, where they won't be associated with anyone by name. They are relevant to everyone, anyway.
The email in question consisted of only 98 words, including the greeting and signature. In the body of the letter there were just seven sentences. But in that short bit of correspondence, there were no less than eight spelling errors and seven errors of grammar and/or punctuation.
Call me the grammar police if you will, but this email was sent on behalf of an organization that hopes to get genealogists to hand over their research for preservation and sharing. Don't get me wrong--I think preservation and sharing is great, but I would be very reluctant to give my research to an organization for which correctness is apparently a nonexistent priority.
Earlier in the month, the subject of poor grammar and the resulting lack of credibility had come up in another context. I won't go into it further except to say I'm so very thankful for the teachers who taught me how to use English correctly, and for the schools which deemed that an educational priority. It is, by far, the most essential skill I learned in school.
January Accomplishments
I've been working on three books this month:
- a photo book about a place I enjoyed almost daily in 2005-2006. Selecting photos for this one was fun, but drawing them together into a cohesive book is harder than I thought it would be. In the end, this may be two or three books instead of just one.
- the dad book. I tried using a book of interview questions to get my dad talking, and used an iPhone app to unobtrusively record what he said. That didn't go along as easily as I'd have liked, although he was willing to answer questions. With my dad, it works best to ask the right question at the right moment. Spontaneity is key. Taking notes or asking questions from a list is like throwing a soggy blanket on a match. I totally get that... I'm the same way.
- a compendium of materials about Reverend Samuel Stone. Currently this book stands at 174 pages, and in the interest of avoiding burn-out on the topic, I've taken a little break from it before deciding whether to cut pages or add more. Either way, my deadline for this one is the end of February.
I haven't vacuumed yet this year . . . . . you got a problem with that?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy or HBO therapy is a medical treatment that enhances the body's natural healing and strengthens the immune system. Originally used to treat SCUBA divers with decompression sickness, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has also proven valuable in treating many other medical conditions, including chronic wounds. It can play a significant role in promoting healing as a part of a wound-care plan that may also include surgery, antibiotic therapy, physical rehabilitation and more.
Therapy is administered in a hyperbaric chamber that delivers 100 percent oxygen with increased atmospheric pressure, stimulating the entire body's natural healing responses.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy promotes healing by increasing the level of oxygen in the tissue and improving the healing efficiency of the white blood cells.
In addition, hyperbaric oxygen therapy:
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is beneficial for diabetic patients with difficult non-healing ulcers, as well as those with arterial ulcers and other types of wounds that fail to respond to conservative therapy.
Medicare-approved conditions treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy include:
Treatments are administered daily, Monday through Friday, requiring the patient to be present for approximately two hours each day. The course of treatment varies by diagnosis, but generally includes 20 to 40 therapy sessions.
The word hyperbaric is derived from "hyper," which means over or above, and "baro," which refers to the barometric pressure. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, then, is high-pressure oxygen therapy.
HBO therapy requires that the patient breath 100 percent pure oxygen inside a chamber filled with compressed air. The air pressure inside the chamber can be increased to as much as six times normal atmospheric pressure. The extra pressure increase blood oxygen to many times its normal level. The blood vessels deliver this super-oxygenated blood to tissues throughout the body to help heal, fight infection, decrease swelling (edema), and aid in the growth of new blood vessels (capillaries). These benefits cannot be achieved by breathing normal amounts of oxygen in a regular room.
Memorial Hermann facilities operate two types of hyperbaric chambers. At the Texas Medical Center, the hyperbaric chamber is a steel cylinder that is approximately six feet in diameter and 34 feet long. The chamber has more than one compartment, or room, and is known as a multiplace chamber, which allows prompt physician access should the need arise. The main room is quite large and can accommodate up to 12 patients as well as a technician or nurse. Patients are able to either sit or recline with only minimal limitations of movement. An inside attendant monitors all patients. A chamber operator, nurse and doctor stand by outside the chamber. A special intercom system allows for constant communication, and windows or ports allow you to see out of the chamber.
At our other facilities we operate monoplace chambers that are clear acrylic single-patient units to deliver hyperbaric oxygen treatments. These chambers are 7.5 feet in internal length and 33 inches in diameter. The chambers are under constant staff supervision allowing un-interrupted communication between the patient and chamber operator.
During a treatment, which usually lasts about two hours, patients in a multiplace chamber are free to read, talk, rest or listen to music. If they are being treated in a monoplace chamber they can rest, watch TV or a movie during treatment.
Because the chamber is pressurized with 100 percent oxygen, certain items cannot go into the chamber. These items include lighters, matches, cigarettes, cell phones, nylon or synthetic fabric, wigs or hairpieces, dentures, make up, petroleum jelly, lipstick, lip balm, ointments, hearing aids, watches, hair spray, hair oil/relaxers, or hard contact lenses.
Should you have any questions, our staff will be happy to discuss them with you before treatment begins.
In general, most health insurance plans and Medicare cover the conditions listed.
For specific questions about insurance coverage, please contact your insurance provider directly.

"Okay, I fessed up to hubby and he's okay with it!
He did say, "But I don't know how you're going to get it here"
Me: "The big rolling suitcase"
Hubby: "That suitcase is full of clothes" (Storage)
Me: "That's okay, I can take the clothes out, but I'll have trouble carrying the suitcase up the stairs"
Hubby: "Take a taxi!"
I would marry him again and again."
Oh my. Possibly the most romantic thing ever.
Now go get that Phoenix 429!!!
p.s. The eBay Bell is shocking - it even has the 429 brand on it. Nothing but the Name Brand is changed. I am horrified at the price.

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – As Mississippi's Legislature launches a session expected to be dominated by education issues, school reform will be the subject of a discussion in Tupelo next week.
Nancy Loome, who leads one of Mississippi's largest public school advocacy groups, will lead both discussions on Tuesday, Jan. 15. That includes a lunch bunch at 11:45 a.m. and a town hall meeting at 6:30 p.m. Both will be held in the Parish Hall of All Saints' Episcopal Church, across from the Lee County Library at 608 West Jefferson Street in Tupelo. They are sponsored by Parents for Public Schools and the North Mississippi Education Consortium.
"We'll be talking about school reform and what initiatives have worked in other states and in other countries to improve student achievement," said Loome, the executive director of The Parents' Campaign.
Loome also will answer questions about the upcoming legislative session and the proposals and initiatives being studied by the state's lawmakers, such as charter schools, a third-grade reading program and scholarships to allow low-income students to attend private schools.
Both discussions will last about an hour and will be similar, but questions will dictate the nature of each. There will be more time for questions at the evening event, Loome said.
"These discussions take on a life of their own," she said.
Organizers urge anyone interested in public education – from parents to teachers to community members – to attend.
"People need to be well informed," said Cecil Weeks, the director of the North Mississippi Education Consortium. "We are not taking a position to support any particular piece of legislation or any particular thought. People can have an opportunity to ask questions, get information and go away better informed than when they came."
Anyone interested in reserving a free lunch for the event should call (662) 372-0371. Reservations are not required to attend.

Two juveniles — ages 13 and 15 — have been arrested after allegedly robbing a man at gunpoint early in the morning on Jan. 1, authorities said.
Calcasieu Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Myers said the youths were charged with armed robbery and resisting an officer by flight. The 13-year-old is also facing a weapon charge.
Myers said the juveniles took an undisclosed amount of money from a man at gunpoint on U.S. 171 near Graham Street and then fled on foot.
The gun was later found behind a laundromat, she said.

EMA to Review New Hep C Drugs for Possible Hep B Reactivation »
"The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has launched a review of the six direct-acting antivirals approved for use in the European Union for treating chronic hepatitis C virus infection, the agency said today.

(Hepatitis A Vaccine, Inactivated) Intramuscular Injection
VAQTA is an inactivated whole virus vaccine derived from hepatitis A virus grown in cell culture in human MRC-5 diploid fibroblasts. It contains inactivated virus of a strain which was originally derived by further serial passage of a proven attenuated strain. The virus is grown, harvested, purified by a combination of physical and high performance liquid chromatographic techniques developed at the Merck Research Laboratories, formalin inactivated, and then adsorbed onto amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate.
VAQTA is a sterile suspension for intramuscular injection. One milliliter of the vaccine contains approximately 50U of hepatitis A virus antigen, which is purified and formulated without a preservative. Within the limits of current assay variability, the 50U dose of VAQTA contains less than 0.1 mcg of non-viral protein, less than 4 x 10–6 mcg of DNA, less than 10–4 mcg of bovine albumin, and less than 0.8 mcg of formaldehyde. Other process chemical residuals are less than 10 parts per billion (ppb), including neomycin.
Each 0.5-mL pediatric dose contains 25U of hepatitis A virus antigen and adsorbed onto approximately 0.225 mg of aluminum provided as amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, and 35 mcg of sodium borate as a pH stabilizer, in 0.9% sodium chloride.
Each 1-mL adult dose contains 50U of hepatitis A virus antigen and adsorbed onto approximately 0.45 mg of aluminum provided as amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate, and 70 mcg of sodium borate as a pH stabilizer, in 0.9% sodium chloride.
What are the possible side effects of hepatitis A vaccine (Havrix, Vaqta)?
You should not receive a booster vaccine if you have ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction after the first shot.
Keep track of any and all side effects you have after receiving this vaccine. When you receive a booster dose, you will need to tell the doctor if the previous shots caused any side effects.
Becoming infected with hepatitis A is much more dangerous to your health than receiving the vaccine to protect against it. Like any medicine, this vaccine can cause side effects, but the risk of serious side effects is extremely low.

What are the precautions when taking hepatitis a vaccine, inactivated (Vaqta)?
Before getting hepatitis A vaccine, tell your health care professional if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients (such as neomycin, formalin, latex in some vials/prefilled syringes), which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before receiving this vaccine, tell your health care professional your medical history, especially of: bleeding problems (such as hemophilia, low platelets, anticoagulant treatment), current illness with fever.
If you have decreased immune function from other medications (see also Drug Interactions) or other illness (such as HIV, leukemia, lymphoma, other cancer), your body may not make enough antibodies to protect you from hepatitis...

NHL playoffs: Washington Capitals down New York Rangers 1-0 in overtime
By Sarah Kwak
The key to the Washington Capitals' success in this series was always going to be patience in the face of New York's stifling defense and goalie Henrik Lundqvist. On Saturday, after 68 minutes of trying to get a shot past the Rangers' Vezina Trophy winner, the Caps finally broke through on a power play. Set up at the point, Caps defenseman Mike Green took a feed from Mike Ribeiro and whipped a one-timer that barely caught Rangers center Derek Stepan before hurtling past Lundqvist for a 1-0 overtime win at the Verizon Center that gave Washington a 2-0 series lead.
It was yet another demonstration of this team's power play prowess. Though the Rangers had been much better about staying out of the box than they were on Thursday night, a delay of game call in OT proved to be their undoing. Here are some more observations from Game 2:
GAME 2: Recap | Boxscore | Highlights | Complete postseason schedule
• Rangers coach John Tortorella doesn't talk about lineup changes, but the minor adjustments he made set up his team for a physical battle. Center Brian Boyle, sidelined since April 16 with a lower body injury, and winger Derek Dorsett, who was playing his first game for the Rangers since his trade from Columbus, have a penchant for showing some toughness. Boyle was eased in with just 11:29 of ice time but still contributed six hits; Dorsett delivered seven. Feisty captain Ryan Callahan led New York with eight, but there was nary a player on either side who wasn't throwing his body around. New York logged 58 hits in all while the Caps threw 50. It'll be a wonder if either side can keep up that kind of pace in Game 3 and beyond.
• The Capitals deserved to win, as they largely outplayed New York and created more and better quality scoring chances. But Lundqvist, as he has been for years, was a game-changer. His 37-save performance gave the Rangers a chance to steal this one, and it was a welcome effort after his relatively subpar outing in New York's 3-1 series opening loss. Repeatedly bailing out his defensemen, Lundqvist stonewalled a good number of the Caps' golden chances and was by far the best Ranger on the ice.
• Shadowed by Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh, Alex Ovechkin has been forced to look for open teammates, and he's been setting them up for tap-ins -- yet another way the winger has begun to diversify his game – but the Capitals spoiled several scoring chances by making an extra pass or hesitating before pulling the trigger. In the second period, Marcus Johansson, a natural center and puck distributor, was on the doorstep and looking at a wide-open net after receiving the puck right on his tape, but instead of unloading a quick shot, he stickhandled for just a moment, giving Lundqvist time to move post-to-post and Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh a chance to get his stick in the way. In the third period, on a 2-on-1 break with Nicklas Backstrom, Johansson passed -- behind the play. • Six weeks ago, I wouldn't have been able to pick Steve Oleksy out of a police lineup. But through the first two games of this series, the 27-year-old journeyman minor leaguer has looked like a bona fide NHL blueliner. Not only has he been physical, leading the Capitals with nine hits on Saturday, he's shown some excellent on-ice vision. Recall the long lead pass he fed to Johansson for the winning goal in Game 1. Throughout Game 2, Oleksy created a handful of scoring chances with sharp passes through open lanes. Perhaps his ability to read the expanse of ice in front of him is a result of his days as a catcher in college baseball. Called up during the regular season largely because coach Adam Oates was looking for a right-handed shot, Oleksy at one point in his career thought about abandoning hockey in favor of opening pizza shops. Making the most of his opportunity, he's been a feel-good story in Washington.

Two Princeton students have been honored by USA Today for their outstanding intellectual achievement and leadership.
Lillian Pierce, a Princeton University junior from Fallbrook, Calif., has been named to USA Today's All-USA College Academic First Team. The team honors 20 students who combine high academic achievement with community service.
Pierce, a math major and violinist who maintains a 4.0 grade-point-average, is co-concertmaster and soloist with the Princeton University Orchestra and plays with other area orchestras. She also volunteers as a reader for the blind and dyslexic.
Erez Lieberman, a junior, was named to the newspaper's second team. He was recognized for coordinating and winning a grant to fund research on electochemical grinding, an economical, non-polluting industrial cutting technology. He also is religion chair of Yavneh House and a published poet.

More Alistair Overeem Rumors: Todd Duffee
- Written by Dave Walsh
If you haven't had enough Alistair Overeem rumors, prepare for a new one. Remember the opponent of the week last week? Last week, Bobby Lashley was all-but-confirmed according to multiple websites, with a Strikeforce employee tweeting that Lashley was going to be the man to step up and fight Alistair Overeem. The way that FEG has handled Alistair Overeem is really no different than the way that they handle any other fighter, the main difference is that Overeem holds a championship in a United States promotion, Strikeforce.
This immediately means that any Overeem news garners attention from the media and blogs in the US and the speculation goes through the roof. In a way, it is a severe shortcoming on the part of FEG. FEG has finally found a star that could help them truly break through to a United States audience, but they are treating him like business-as-usual.
Last night, Todd Duffee posted on his Facebook page that you can watch him vs. "Overeem" on HDnet on New Year's Eve. So now there is a post on Sherdog that the fight is "50-50." At this point, Duffee has signed his cotract and the money has been hammered out between his camp and FEG, he simply needs to attain a short-term visa and everything is a go, right?
I feel like a grandfather trying to talk to his teenage grandson about the time he got the clap in Korea while all the kid can think about is getting laid. Everyone is so excited for the prospect of Overeem finally having a fight that they are missing the fact that this feels familiar. Last week Dave Meltzer, the most reliable reporter in the business (I know, Helwani does cool backstage videos, I know) said he was certain of the Lashley fight happening. Last year Andrei Arlovski's camp applied for a temporary work visa and had signed a contract, too.
No matter who the source, how certain they are, until the ink is completely dry and FEG announces it, Overeem does not have an opponent.
UPDATE: According to sources close to the situation, Todd Duffee has agreed to be paid $60,000 to fight Overeem and has not been training for a fight at all, this was completely last minute. Official announcement expected the 27th.

TFK gets the scoop on the new seasons of Kickin' It and Lab Rats
The hit shows Kickin' It and Lab Rats are back, they're action-packed, and filled with laughs! Catch the season premieres of both sitcoms on February 17 on Disney XD when the stars of both series host a telecast.
In advance of the season premieres, TFK Kid Reporter Amelia Compton visited the sets of Kickin' It and Lab Rats in Los Angeles, California. Here, she gives a sneak peek of the new seasons of both shows.
All the Right Moves
The first three seasons of Kickin' It centered on a struggling strip-mall dojo (a martial arts school) and its misfit students. In season four, the karate kids relocate to a new state-of-the-art dojo that's right on the beach.
Returning fans are sure to notice Falafel Phil's facelift as well. Be sure to take a peek at the menu for some interesting, if not appetizing, eats!
Not only do the sets change in season 4, so do the characters. Kim (played by Olivia Holt) leaves the group to attend a martial arts school overseas. Plus, the martial arts ninjas are no longer underdogs. They have, over the course of the series, become prominent figures in Seaford Village.
"We've paid our dues," Dylan Riley Snyder told TFK. He plays the quirky braniac Milton, who divides his time between doing schoolwork and practicing karate. "We're all moving up in the world."
Todd Howard, the real-life father of Leo Howard, who plays martial-arts expert Jack, guest stars this season. Howard has wanted to act alongside his son for a long time, but he doesn't have much experience in front of the camera. "My son has really encouraged me and given me coaching," says Howard.
What's Next for the Super Siblings?
Across the studio lot, Lab Rats is shaping up to be far more action-packed as the cast heads into season 3.
At the end of last season, billionaire and bionic-kid creator Donald Davenport finds himself bankrupt. The hacker turns out to be none other than Davenport's own brother, Douglas.
Meanwhile, Principal Perry discovers the siblings' super powers and threatens to call the authorities. The three bionic kids—Bree, Chase and Adam— run away thinking the FBI is on their tail. But it's really Davenport's evil brother Douglas who is after them.
How will the super siblings escape their predicament? Their plan includes plenty of action and adventure. In the first episode of the new season, Spencer Boldman's character, Adam, gets to dive into the ocean and do some cool underwater stunts. In another episode, the trio finds themselves on the wings of an airplane.
"It's kind of like a big-budget mini-movie in a 27-minute show," says Boldman.
Amidst all the action, the Lab Rats characters mature in the new season, just as the Kickin' It cast does. Bree, for example, is overcoming her awkwardness and becoming more comfortable in the world.
"Our goal was to allow the lab rats to grow up a bit," Billy Unger told TFK. He plays super-sibling Chase. "We wanted audiences to be able to grow up with the characters."
