Bank of America Corp. (BAC:US), the second- largest U.S. lender, won Federal Reserve support to buy back as much as $5 billion in stock, the firm's first repurchases since the financial crisis.
Bank of America also can redeem $5.5 billion in preferred shares, the Charlotte, North Carolina-based company said today in a statement. The lender's stock climbed 3.9 percent to $12.58 at 5:29 p.m. in extended trading in New York, after advancing 4.3 percent in 2013 through today's close.
Buying back stock may help rebuild the credibility of Brian T. Moynihan, who has made restoring shareholder payouts a priority since 2010, when he became chief executive officer. Moynihan came under fire in 2011 after fanning investor expectations for a "modest" dividend increase, only to have the Fed reject his request, and he didn't ask the central bank for anything last year.
"Buying back common shares is the best way to continue to drive value for our shareholders," Moynihan, 53, said in the statement. "We have more than adequate capital to support our strategic plans."
Bank of America said it didn't seek approval to boost its 1-cent quarterly dividend. Analysts (BAC:US) surveyed by Bloomberg predicted on average that the payout would increase to 3 cents, with some estimates as high as 5 cents.
Preferred Shares
A company's earnings per share improves when the number of stock units drops, and redeeming preferred shares lowers interest payments. Bank of America has about 10.8 billion shares outstanding, some of it created when the firm sold $19.3 billion of its stock to repay U.S. bailouts in 2009.
The Fed blessing starts to make good on a vow Moynihan made at the lender's March 2011 investor day, in which he proclaimed the bank, once the biggest in the U.S., was again a "growth company" that could return capital to shareholders.
The lender slashed its 64-cent dividend (BAC:US) in 2008 to conserve capital and took $45 billion in government rescues under then- CEO Kenneth D. Lewis. Even after repaying the funds in 2009, Bank of America couldn't increase payouts because of demands to improve capital ahead of coming international rules.
The bank also trailed JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC:US) in putting the financial crisis behind it as the company incurred more than $40 billion in costs tied to defective mortgages inherited from the 2008 takeover of Countrywide Financial Corp.
Bank of America's capital levels rose to a record 9.25 percent last year after Moynihan sold more than $60 billion in assets (BAC:US) and purged expensive debt from its balance sheet.
Under this year's stress tests, Bank of America's Tier 1 common ratio fell to 6.04 percent after including the lender's plan to repurchase stock. That's higher than JPMorgan's 5.56 percent and Wells Fargo's 5.94 percent. The minimum required to pass was 5 percent.

I typed the obligatory "Why do you have to poop so much after you run?" search into Google and more than three million results popped up.
Why do all these baby-related things inevitably involve poop and other bodily functions? Because babies are disgusting.
how not to be a dick
I don't have a ton of control over what my body does, but you have 100% control over being a shitty, judgmental human being.
in a relationship
If they can't handle a bit of bathroom humor, then we probably aren't a good match anyway. I'm pretty disgusting.
first period
Do you remember Kotex Personals Protective Panties? If you don't, that's okay, because I'm pretty sure that my mom was the only person who bought them.
The coolest, most confident women I know, the ones who get up in arms about slutty Halloween costumes and binders full of women, very often don't even feel comfortable enough to poop at work.
I feel like she must know she smells, because she also wears a ton of perfume. It doesn't mask her poop smell at all, it just mixes with the poop smell to create a disgusting poopourri smell that literally makes me feel ill.
The joy and the wonder of having new life growing inside of you, the fierce bond you develop with your fetus and the supposedly hot fetish sex. I pretty much hated every moment of it.
bathroom talk
I'll never joke about anal sex again.
household drama
Really, what good is the Internet if you can't tell people that sewage is bubbling up into your shower?
The plastic bag poking out of my pocket is just for show, okay! I'm way too lazy to scoop poop.

To dress up these two living room windows was quite a challenge for a while for the owner of the house. One window was deeply set with a different length and height then the other one.
I suggested a cornice to cover the height differences and make them equal height. The deeply set window disappeared once the cornice was placed on the outside of it.
The small patterned fabric was chosen to allow further transformation in the room, either in the form of a new furniture or just accessories.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Planned Parenthood says it's closing 1 of its three Tulsa-area facilities that provided nutritional services to low-income mothers because the state terminated its contract with the health services agency.
Planned Parenthood of the Heartland spokesman Pat Schnake (SHNOK'-ee) said Wednesday the agency will close its west Tulsa facility by the end of the month.
Schnake said six agency employees who helped administer the federal Women, Infants and Children, or WIC, program already had been laid off Jan. 1 after a federal judge denied the agency's request to stop the state Health Department from ending Planned Parenthood's WIC contract.
The Health Department claims it ended the contracts after 18 years because of declining caseloads and higher costs. Planned Parenthood argued the decision was because of its support of abortion rights.

Description Referring now to the cross-sectional view of the in-process DRAM circuitry FIG. 1, N-well regions 11 have been formed in a lightly-doped P-type substrate 12, silicon dioxide field isolation regions 13 have been formed, a gate dielectric layer 14 has been formed on active areas 15, and a three-layer stack 16, consisting of a first conductive layer 17 (in a preferred embodiment of the process, the first conductive layer is either doped polycrystalline silicon or doped or undoped polycrystalline silicon coated with a refractory metal silicide), a silicon dioxide buffer layer 18 and a thick silicon nitride layer 19, has been formed by sequential deposition steps. All transistor gates will be formed from the three-layer stack 16. Referring now to FIG. 2, the three-layer stack 16 of FIG. 1 has been patterned and etched by use of photoresist 20 to form a series of wordlines 21 in the N-channel region and an unetched three-layer expanse 22 in the P-channel region (i.e., the N-well region 11). The unetched three-layer expanse 22 is the distinguishing characteristic of a "split-polysilicon" CMOS DRAM process. At this point in the process, N-channel source/drain regions 23 are formed by implanting light doses of arsenic or phosphorous (N.sup.-) to form lightly doped drains (LDD). Referring now to FIG. 3, after the photoresist 20 (seen in FIG. 2) has been stripped, N-channel source/drain regions 23 are reoxidized which also results in the formation of oxide sidewall spacers 31 about the patterned edges of conductive layer 17. Next, a silicon nitride spacer layer 32 is deposited over all in-process circuitry. Referring now to FIG. 4, the silicon nitride spacer layer 31 has been anisotropically etched to form spacers 41 on the sidewalls of the wordlines 21 and on the sidewalls of the unetched expanse 22. The anisotropic etch is terminated at the point where the spacers 41 cover the edges of all three layers of each remnant of the sandwich 16. Following the formation of spacers an arsenic N.sup.+ implant is performed to form deeper diffusion regions 40 and a silicon nitride etch-stop layer 42 is deposited over all in-process circuitry. Following the deposition of the etch-stop layer 42, a thick insulative mold layer 43 is deposited on top of the etch-stop layer 42. Boro-phospho-silicate glass is deemed to be the preferred dielectric material from which the mold layer 43 is formed. After the mold layer 43 is deposited, it is planarized. Although a number of planarization techniques are known in the art, chemical mechanical planarization is deemed to be the preferred method. FIG. 4 represents the departing point for two distinct variations of the process. Thus, the process continues with FIGS. 5a or 5b. Referring now to FIG. 5a, mold layer 43 has been patterned with a contact photoresist mask 51, and etched to form storage node contact openings 52, and to also remove those portions of the mold layer 43 that are superjacent the P-channel (N-well) region, thus creating a recessed region 53 in the mold layer 43 above the unetched expanse 22. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5b, mold layer 43 has been patterned with a contact photoresist mask 51, and etched to form storage node contact openings 52, however using this option, mold layer 43 is also masked off so that the periphery regions remain covered with mold layer 43. This region can later be patterned after cell formation (FIGS. 6-8) in order to define the p-channel devices. During cell formation mold layer 43 would be thinned down to bring the stack height to minimum which provides a better angle when the p-channel devices are patterned. Once cell formation is completed and the p-channel devices patterned, the processing steps would continue as described later in FIGS. 9-11. Referring now to FIG. 6, a second conductive layer 61 is blanket deposited (i.e., such that it covers all in-process circuitry). As a capacitance enhancing feature, the second conductive layer 61 is preferably doped hemispherical gain (HSG) silicon. Doping may occur in-situ during deposition, or it may occur subsequent to deposition. The polysilicon-lined N-well region and contact openings are then optionally filled with a filler material 62, such as photoresist or spin-on glass. The resulting structure is then planarized, preferably using chemical-mechanical planarization in order to remove horizontal portions 63 of the second polysilicon layer 61. The remaining portions of the second polysilicon layer 61 fill the recess in the mold layer 43 above the N-well and the storage-node contact openings 51. The latter portions will function as the storage-node capacitor plate 64. Referring now to FIG. 7, the filler material 62 has been removed and the mold layer 43 is thinned during an etch-back step until portions of the second conductive layer 61 which line both the recesses above the unetched three layer expanse 22, and the storage-node contact openings 51 extend above the surface of the mold layer 43. A cell dielectric layer 71 is then formed on at least the exposed surfaces of the remnants of the second polysilicon layer 61. In a preferred embodiment of the process, the cell dielectric layer is a silicon dioxide-silicon nitride-silicon dioxide sandwich, and the silicon nitride layer of this sandwich is blanket deposited via chemical vapor deposition. Following the formation of a cell dielectric layer 71, a conductive cell plate layer 72 is formed on top of the cell dielectric layer 71. In a preferred embodiment of the process, the cell plate layer 72 is also a layer of doped polysilicon. A silicon nitride etch stop layer 73 is then deposited on top of the cell plate layer 72. Referring now to FIG. 8, the capacitive layers (the second conductive layer 61, the cell dielectric layer 71, and the cell plate layer 72) are removed from all but the cell array region through the use of a series of selective etch steps, thus exposing the mold layer 43. The mold layer 43 is then thinned to a level that exposes the upper surface of the unetched three-layer expanse 22, yet does not expose the source/drain regions of N-channel transistors that will be formed in region 80 that is peripheral to the cell array. Referring to FIG. 9, following the masking of the entire N-channel region with photoresist 93, and the masking of the unetched three-layer expanse 22 to provide a mask pattern for P-channel device gates, the in-process circuitry is etched to form those P-channel device gate electrode 91. Also in FIG. 9, after P-channel device gate 91 is formed P-channel source/drain regions 92 are formed with a blanket boron-difluoride implant into n-well region 11 and on opposing sides of p-channel gate electrode 91. Referring now to FIG. 10, after removing photoresist 93, seen in FIG. 9, a phosphorus halo angled implant is performed using all four angle orientations as shown. This implant forms a halo 101 of n-type impurities around P-channel source/drain regions 92. This n-type halo prevents punch through of depletion regions at higher drain voltages and enhances the short channel effects and robust transistor characteristics. Referring now to FIG. 11, an ozone oxidation step is performed to form ozone silicon dioxide spacers 111 about the vertical conductive portion (polysilicon 17) of gate 91 and to form a ozone silicon dioxide layer 112 that will insulate source/drain regions 92 from a subsequently formed conductive layer. The purpose of this ozone oxidation step on the PMOSFETs gates is twofold. First, due to ozone's low temperature characteristics, fewer thermal cycles are used and thus the P.sup.+ boron does not diffuse into the channel region as readily (short channel characteristics are enhanced). Second, curing the thin gate oxide region with low temperature oxidation for any plasma damage due to the process of patterning the PMOSFETs gates. One aspect of the present invention is a low temperature oxidation process for fabricating thin oxide layers comprising growing a the gate oxide sidewall spacers in an ozone-containing atmosphere, which atmosphere is generated at a temperature substantially in the range of 600 957 therein. The preferred temperature range is 750 C. Oxidation in the presence of ozone dramatically increases the oxidation rate over dry oxidation. The faster oxidation rates permit the use of the lower oxidation temperatures, which in ram, result in less stress, reduced electrical encroachment, and a reduced amount of enhancement dose of dopant. The reduced enhancement doping is very much needed to maintain short channel characteristics. After this ozone oxidation step, a conformal non-conductive layer 113 is formed to cover gate 91, source/drain regions 92 and field oxide regions 13. Finally, the entire structure is covered with an insulating layer 114, such as BPSG. The device is then completed using process steps as dictated by the manufacturing process being used. Optionally and referring now to FIG. 12, a fluorinated barrier layer 120 is formed along the gate sidewalls and extends to the diffusion regions 92 to further enhance the gate sidewall oxidation. Although only several embodiments of the new process have been disclosed herein, it will be obvious to those having ordinary skill in the art that modification and changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and the scope of the process as hereinafter claimed. For example, though the process teaches the development of a DRAM memory device, the concepts shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 depict a general concept of the present invention in that the insulated transistor gates can be used for any semiconductor device where transistors are used. Furthermore, though FIGS. 11 and 12 show specific diffusion profiles generated by certain implant techniques, they are shown as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of an in-process dynamic random access memory at a stage of manufacture where N-well regions have been formed in a lightly-doped P-type substrate, silicon dioxide field isolation regions have been formed, a gate dielectric layer has been formed on active areas, and a three-layer sandwich, consisting of a first polysilicon layer which is doped to render it conductive, a silicon dioxide buffer layer and a thick silicon nitride layer, has been formed; FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the portion of the in-process memory of FIG. 1 following the patterning of the three-layer sandwich to form a series of wordlines in the N-channel region and an unetched expanse in the P-channel region (i.e., the N-well region); FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the portion of the in-process memory of FIG. 2 following reoxidation of the N-channel source/drain regions and a blanket deposition of a silicon nitride spacer layer; FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the portion of the in-process memory of FIG. 3 following an anisotropic etch of the silicon nitride spacer layer to form spacers on the sidewalls of the wordlines and on the sidewall of the unetched expanse of the stacked sandwich layers, an N.sup.+ source/drain implant, a blanket deposition of a silicon nitride etch stop layer, the primary purpose of which is to cover active areas, the deposition of a boro-phospho-silicate glass (BPSG) layer, and the planarization of the BPSG layer; FIGS. 5a and 5b are cross-sectional views of the portion of the in-process memory of FIG. 4 following the patterning and etching of the BPSG layer to form storage node contact openings; FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the portion of the in-process memory of FIG. 5 following the deposition of a second polysilicon layer and chemical-mechanical planarization of the resulting structure; FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the portion of the in-process memory of FIG. 6 following an etch back of the thick insulative layer, deposition of a cell dielectric layer, deposition of a cell plate layer, and optional deposition of silicon nitride capping layer; FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the portion of the in-process memory of FIG. 7 following removal of capacitive layers from all but the cell array region; FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the periphery portion 80 of the in-process memory of FIG. 8 following masking of the N-channel region (not shown), and patterning and etching of the unetched expanse of sandwich layers in the P-channel region 80, a photoresist strip, and a P-channel source/drain implant; FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the portion of the in-process periphery portion of FIG. 9 following a phosphorus angled implant; FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the portion of the in-process periphery portion of FIG. 9 following a photoresist strip, an ozone oxidation step, forming of a conformal non-conductive layer and the forming of a blanking insulating layer; and FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of the portion of the in-process periphery portion of FIG. 9 after forming an optional fluorinated barrier layer about the transistor gates. This invention relates to integrated circuit manufacturing technology and, more specifically, to a process for isolating transistor gates. The business of producing dynamic random access memory (DRAM) devices is a very competitive, high-volume business. Process efficiency and manufacturability, as well as product quality, reliability, and performance are the key factors that determine the economic success of such a venture. Each cell within a DRAM device, an individually-addressable location for storing a single bit of digital dam, is comprised of two main components: a field-effect access transistor and a capacitor. As component density in memory chips has increased, it has been necessary to at least maintain cell capacitance as cell size shrinks. Each new generation of DRAM devices generally has an integration level that is four times that of the generation which it replaced. Such a quadrupling of device number per chip is normally accompanied by a decrease in device geometries. All DRAM memories of 4-megabit and greater density utilize cell designs having three-dimensional capacitors. Although both trench and stacked capacitor designs have proven serviceable at the 4-megabit level, most manufacturers now seem to favor the stacked capacitor design for its manufacturability and somewhat higher yield. Most current-generation dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) utilize CMOS technology. Although the term "CMOS" is an acronym for (C)omplementary (M)etal (O)xide (S)emiconductor, the term CMOS is now more loosely applied to any integrated circuit in which both N-channel and P-channel field-effect transistors are used in a complementary fashion. Although CMOS integrated circuit devices are often referred to as "semiconductor" devices, such devices are fabricated from various materials which are either electrically conductive, electrically non-conductive or electrically semiconductive. Silicon, the most commonly used semiconductor material can be made conductive by doping it (introducing an impurity into the silicon crystal structure) with either an element such as boron which has one less valence electron than silicon, or with an element such as phosphorus or arsenic which have one more valence electron than silicon. In the case of boron doping, electron "holes" become the charge carriers and the doped silicon is referred to as positive or P-type silicon. In the case of phosphorus or arsenic doping, the additional electrons become the charge carriers and the doped silicon is referred to as negative or N-type silicon. If a mixture of dopants having opposite conductivity types is used, counter doping will result, and the conductivity type of the most abundant impurity will prevail. Silicon is used either in single-crystal or polycrystalline form. Polycrystalline silicon is referred to hereinafter as "polysilicon" or simply as "poly". Although polysilicon has largely replaced metal for the MOS device gates, the relatively low conductivity of that material (even when heavily doped) has led many semiconductor manufacturers to create a layer of refractory metal silicide on transistor gates in order to decrease sheet resistance and, thereby, increase device speed. In conventional DRAM processes, two additional poly layers are used for the lower and upper cell capacitor plates. CMOS manufacturing processes generally begin with a lightly-doped P-type or N-type silicon substrate, or lightly-doped epitaxial silicon on a heavily doped substrate. Although P-type silicon is usually chosen as the starting material, selection of N-type silicon as the starting material changes the process very little, the primary difference being that for a given step, dopant types are reversed. Triple polysilicon layer manufacturing processes for contemporary stacked-capacitor dynamic random access memories require some fourteen to eighteen masking steps. As device geometries shrink, each photolithographic step becomes more costly. In light of the costs associated with masking operations, manufacturing processes which permit a significant reduction in the number of masking operations are greatly preferred. What is needed, therefore, is split-polysilicon CMOS DRAM technology which permits P-channel processing late in the process flow without using an additional mask and therefore minimizes subsequent thermal cycles and allows for better short channel characteristics. Since p-channel FETs commonly use boron for the source/drain implants (boron has a very high diffusivity rate during thermal cycles), less thermal cycles will result in very robust PMOSFETs. An embodiment of the present invention teaches a semiconductor manufacturing process for forming insulated transistor gates by performing a temperature controlled insulation step (preferably at a temperature ranging between 600 insulation about the sidewalls of each transistor gate. Another embodiment further enhances the present invention by forming a fluorinated barrier along the transistor gate and extending to the transistor's diffusion region.

UW-Sheboygan unveils new Center for Engagement Learning
Dr. Terry Grall to serve as Interim Director
The University of Wisconsin-Sheboygan welcomes a new face to the campus this summer and unveils a new department that will provide area businesses and working professionals with a local resource for their business development and professional training needs.
Dr. Terry Grall, local entrepreneur and former business owner, joins the campus as the new Interim Director of the Center for Engagement Learning (CEL). Grall, who holds a bachelor's degree in Industrial Design, a master's degree in Environmental Design and a Ph.D. in Ergonomics, comes to the position with more than 30 years of business experience. Most recently, Grall served as the founder and CEO of Consumer Care Products, Inc. of Sheboygan and Plymouth. After selling the business in 2007, Grall has worked as a consultant in the ergonomics and safety field, developing a number of devices that have led to five U.S. patents and numerous professional honors.
As the new CEL Director, Grall will work to develop new and engaging programs that will assist Sheboygan County businesses to educate their their leaders in areas such as Executive Management, Human Resources, Research/Engineering and other Business Development teams.
The department will expand on the previous services offered through UW-Sheboygan's Continuing Education Office and will add three new focus areas: Business Development, Professional Training and Research & Technology Transfer.
"My interest in this position is centered on my wish to help UW-Sheboygan and the local community more fully gain the value of using higher education to address real world business development, sustainability and leadership problems and issues," Grall said. "The ultimate goal is to create a new and exciting professional level foundation for assistance to the businesses that exist or want to start or move here. I also believe there is a large and strong professional core of talent here that has been untapped that can help to expand these real world learning experiences for both UW-Sheboygan faculty, staff and students."
New programs in development under Grall's leadership are a series of courses on Chinese politics, language, history and culture, as well as others focusing on India and Brazil – all of which are fast emerging as new markets for area manufacturers.
Other new projects that are under consideration include Water Quality Testing and Research; Special Education Primer Courses; Prevention of Eating Disorders; Seniors Fall Prevention; Historic Travel and Study on the Mississippi and Australia; Vibration Technology and Health/Wellness, and many more. More new programs are also in development for the Continuing Education and CEU branch of the department. Grall said new ideas for programs are always welcome.
"UW-Sheboygan has the full university networking capability to find the answers to the questions that area businesses may have and can provide the continuing education area professionals need to succeed and stay ahead of their competition – both now and in the future," Grall added.
Grall is a graduate of Sheboygan North High School and lives in Plymouth with his wife, Lisa, and daughters Alivia, Arianna and Greta.

Tom Osborne announced his retirement as Nebraska's athletic director effective Jan. 1.
"It has been a pleasure and an honor to work in the Athletic Department for the past five years," Osborne said at a press conference. "I hope that there have been some good things that have been accomplished during that time. I appreciate Chancellor [Harvey] Perlman giving me this opportunity. I've had the privilege of working with some outstanding people in the athletic department and have confidence that the trajectory of the athletic department is very good."
Osborne has been the school's athletic director since 2007. He will continue to assist the athletic department during the transition.
No one has been more synonymous with Nebraska athletics and for that matter college football in general than the 75-year-old Osborne.
He spent 25 seasons as the head football coach (1973-97) accumulating a record of 255-49-3 (.836) during that time including three national championships – two of them in back-to-back in 1994 and 1995 – before winning his third in 1997.
He is in the college football Hall of Fame and is currently ranked 17th in all-time coaching victories.
Following his retirement in 1997, Osborne served three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. After leaving politics, he rejoined Nebraska as the athletics director in 2007. He was responsible for helping the school make the transition from the Big 12 to the Big Ten in 2011.
"It's been a privilege to work with Tom," University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman said. "The move into the Big Ten could not have happened without Tom's support."
According to the school, Perlman has already begun the search for Osborne's successor.
Don't forget about Matt's Murschel's weekly mail bag. If you have any college football questions you would like answered or just issues or players you would like his thoughts on please email him at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at @osmattmurschel.

Renaissance Brussels Hotel
Rue Parnasse 19, Brussels, Belgium star
Check Rates for Renaissance Brussels HotelChecking Rates for Renaissance Brussels HotelNo availability
Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors
With 262 rooms, the four-star Renaissance Hotel, an outlet of the Marriott Hotel chain, is a mammoth establishment spanning an entire block. Located just around the corner from the European Parliament, the impeccably equipped Renaissance caters mostly to business travelers, but can offer a great value to tourists on weekends.
A complete renovation in September 2010 brought the hotel's rooms up to date. Colorful accents like lavender carpets and light green retro curtains add some spunk, but on the whole this is a business-oriented hotel, ensconced in oak, bulky fabrics and plush upholstery. Not that that's a bad thing. The hotel comes with plenty of amenities like 24-hour reception, a heated pool, sauna and gym, all included in the price. Each room is equipped with a minibar, toiletries and satellite television. All the tiling and marble in the en-suite bathrooms sparkles.
While it isn't situated far from the city center, the Renaissance is still a Metro ride and a ten-minute walk away. The immediate surrounding area is sterile, with very little nightlife, and because of its proximity to EU offices, the hotel tends to be pricey on week nights. However, this fact also means it's a great value for tourists on weekends, when the room rates plunge and the parking lot becomes free. Watch out for the great last-minute weekend deals.
Wi-Fi and breakfast are available for an additional fee. On weekends, the price for the breakfast buffet goes down from the usual €25 to €15.

Here is something we can all identify with and agree upon: it is torture waiting for test results. The anxiety associated with testing is enormous and often begins days before the scheduled scan, x-ray, mammogram, or MRI. This is frequently a topic of conversation in my office, and no one really has any good answers about how to avoid the trauma. There are strategies that can help:
This is a great article (and note that the writer is talking about non-cancer tests, presumably a lower level anxiety) from the New York Times about this situation. Per usual, here is the beginning and a link:
By JAN HOFFMAN
After MaryAnn and Drew Szilagyi, a Houston couple in their early 30s, saw their physician for routine physicals a few years ago, they didn't have to wait for his call about the blood work. Just two days later, Mr. Szilagyi, a banker, logged onto a Web site, perused his lab results and sighed with relief. All normal.
But when Mrs. Szilagyi, who sells luxury kitchen equipment, followed suit, no results were displayed. Instead, a message flashed: Contact Doctor's Office. Her internal alarms began clanging. That day she left four messages for her doctor. No response. The next day, Mrs. Szilagyi, who has a family history of breast cancer, pleaded with the receptionist for help. She pulled Mrs.Szilagyi's chart and said, "I can't tell you what it says, but I don't think you should worry."
Now angry as well as frightened, Mrs. Szilagyi continued to worry. On the third day, the doctor's nurse reached her. What result had caused so much mystery and misery?
Mrs. Szilagyi, it turned out, had a vitamin D deficiency.

It's called a Virgin Chardonnay because it is untouched by any oak influence. The only wood that had anything to do with this wine was the trunks of the vines on which the grapes grew. This wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks. The result is a fresh, elegant wine, with great depth of rich ripe fruit, redolent of stonefruit, peaches and lychees. There is an underlying richness provided by the time spent on lees, combined with subtle complexity of the malolactic ferment component. The finish is soft yet crisp, with a hint of fruit sweetness balanced with an approachable acid level to leave a long, savory, flavorsome finish.

Off day news and notes
Orlando Sentinel reports that Hedo Turkoglu is no sure thing to take the court tomorrow night against the Wizards.
Magic small forward Hedo Turkoglu said his sore left foot was feeling better after sitting out Wednesday night's game against the Bulls. "It's better, so I'll try it again (before Friday's game at Washington)," he said after Thursday's light workout. "I hope to play. I don't want to miss any games."I think the Magic shouldn't rush Hedo back to play against the Wizards. That's a game the team can win without him, let him stay in Orlando and rest so he can be ready for Sunday's game against the Jazz. Brian Schmitz also takes a look at Marcin Gortat in this feature.
Usually, Gortat serves as Howard's backup for the Orlando Magic, relegated to the few minutes that are available. So when Howard checked back into Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics to start the second quarter, Gortat assumed he'd be heading to the bench. "I was surprised when I saw Dwight come in and not point to me," Gortat said. "He was coming in for somebody else [Rashard Lewis]. I was like, 'Wow. I'm playing with Dwight. I can't [mess] up.'"I've written here before that I like what Marcin brings to the Magic, with out without Dwight last night. The only thing I'm starting to worry about now is whether or not the Magic can afford to keep him this offseason when he becomes a free agent. Kyle Hightower has a short notebook, that including this note on Rashard Lewis' poor shooting performance last night.
All things must pass. Lewis' streak of making at least one 3-pointer in 56 straight games came to an end against the Bulls. Lewis was 0-for-9 from the field Wednesday with just three points — all from the free-throw line. The last time Lewis failed to make a trey was Nov. 10 against Portland when he went 0-for-5. The record for most consecutive games with a 3-pointer is 79, set by Dennis Scott (from April 19, 1995, to April 7, 1996).Ball Don't Lie's create-a-cap contest features Stan Van Gundy and Rashard Lewis. Matt Watson at Fanhouse talks about Dwight making history.
Dwight Howard is on the verge of making history and no one seems to notice. He's averaging 2.9 blocks and 14.0 rebounds a game, putting him on pace to become not only the youngest player to lead the league in blocked shots (beating out Marcus Camby by nearly a year) but also only the fifth player in NBA history to lead the league in blocks and rebounds in the same season.HoopsWorld's Steve Kyler talks about the possiblity of Turkoglu leaving Orlando during free agency this summer.
Will Orlando Re-Sign Turkoglu: Hedo Turkoglu will opt out of the final year of his contract this July and will become an unrestricted free agent. This has not been a huge secret; everyone has openly discussed this since the start of training camp in October. Sources close to this situation say Hedo's camp is looking for a deal in the $10 million per season range, and that the Magic were talking about a deal in the $7.5 million range...Sentinel columnist David Whitley continues the "damn you kids and your music" complaint about the in-game experience at Amway Arena.
"Games like Wednesday can use a little artificial stimulation, but I can't let that keep me from complaining like a geezer. I came to hear basketball. Instead I heard organ music, rock music, rap music and the musical stylings of announcer Paul Porter."I'm not a big fan of the non-stop sound effects and music, but it's not exactly something I think about when I'm at the games. I watched the game on TV last night and noticed a big difference. Do you think the noise at Amway is too loud?

It consists of a series of X-ray images of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. The most common use for this medical testing is to look for signs of ulcers, acid reflux disease, uncontrollable vomiting, or unexplained blood in the stools (hematochezia, melena, or positive fecal occult blood).
When the patient needs to undertake an upper GI, he or she is asked to take a fast on the previous day, depending on what the doctor wishes the patient to take or what might be needed for this testing. Normally, the patient must avoid solid food for up to eight hours prior to the appointment and avoid any type of consumable, including water, three hours prior to the testing.
This is a non-invasive test, consisting of an X-ray. In the X-ray room, the patient is given two medications to drink that help improve the quality of the resulting X-rays. The patient may also be administered glucagon, a pancreatic hormone that is injected intravenously. The first drink is very carbonated, made from baking-soda crystals which expands the stomach by causing gas to build in the stomach. The second drink is a contrast agent, typically a thick, chalky liquid containing a barium salt. (This test is sometimes called a barium swallow.) The barium outlines the stomach on the X-rays, helping the doctor find tumors or other abnormal areas.
The patient then has X-rays taken. The doctors usually take a series of pictures with the patient in a number of different positions to capture different poses and views of the digestive system. Normally the patient needs to hold their breath to avoid the pictures from blurring and causing unneeded challenges in diagnosing the illness.
During the test, the doctor may pump air into the stomach to make features such as small tumors easier to see.
After the test[edit]
Patients may feel nauseated immediately after drinking the barium. This is common and may last up to 72 hours following the test. Patients may eat as normal after the procedure but it is important to drink a lot of water to allow the barium to pass through the body more easily. Constipation is common but diarrhea will affect some patients. Another common side effect is the bleaching of solid waste matter; this may last up to 48 hours.

NEW BNMETRICS......or other ways to measure bad Cubs
Posted 30 December 2011 - 02:45 PM
S.A.P. (Slow Ass Percentage)
This stat is designed to illustrate just how slow some runners are...feel free to make suggestions for the formula. So far, my limited research has left me with the idea that .350 is about average speed. Michael Bourn checks in at a .638, Starlin Castro a .478....while Geo Soto is a turtle like .223. Here is the formula:
RUNS SCORED-HR+3b(X2)+SB-CS= FIRST NUMBER (Castro was a 112)
(Castro was at 234)
some other numbers, to either validate or ridicule this new stat depending on your opinion
1982 RICKEY HENDERSON .823 (42 cs!)
Posted 30 December 2011 - 03:38 PM
How about the Soriano's Heinoius Inability Tracker? 5(OBP-.330) + 2(AVG - .270) + SB% + 3B% - .35(K%-BB%) - (1-Fielding%) - GIDP% - 12x1012 *(A), where A = 1 if the player is actually Alfonso Soriano, 0 otherwise. The more negative the score, the more like Alfonso Soriano this player is.
Proof of Concept: Alfonso Soriano's SHIT score is orders of magnitude worse than everyone else in the league, confirming that he is both awful and, indeed, is actually Alfonso Soriano.
Other Players:
Barry Bonds: Career .588, very good ball player, nothing like Soriano
Alfonso Soriano: -12x1012, verrrry low score, very comparable to Soriano, shitty ballplayer
I rest my case

My two brothers and our neighbor actually had a league.
We kept track of W's, L's, and HR's...all in a notebook.
Sadly I still remember that Ellis Burks (of my dominating Red Sox) led the league in HR's...off the bench and from the leadoff spot I might add. He was kind of like a right handed Brady Anderson...minus the sideburns and steroids.

I actually love this stat as a speed and baserunning rater. Just need a way to further remove power from the equation though. Maybe add in inside-the-park-homers, bunt hits, infield hits, stolen third base, 1st to third and 1st to home. That is probably getting outside the scope of the post but this may be a polishable turd.Stat looks great, might try to add in some fraction of doubles into the equation, maybe 1/5th?

Slowest Cub ever?I'm too lazy to do the math, but Mark Grace in the late 90's had to have one of the all time records for SAP. I have a hard time remembering a slower man on the base paths. Grace is one of my favorite Cubs in my lifetime but that dude was hilariously slow.

A 52 year Hammond City Councilman had his guilty plea accepted today in U-S District Court for federal bribery and tax charges. 2nd District Councilman Alfonso Salinas pleaded guilty to one-count of accepting over ten-thousand dollars from the owner of Dave's Tree Service to steer city work in their direction, and to one-count of failing to file a tax return for the 2006 tax year. As a result of his plea, the Councilman's seat is now considered vacant due to the federal bribery charge, which carries a 10 year prison sentence and a 250-thousand dollar fine. He could face one-year in prison and a 100-thousand dollar fine for failing to file a tax return, and must pay over 20-thousand dollars in restitution to the I-R-S.

Whether you believe global warming is a natural phenomenon or the result of human activity, this much is clear: On North Carolina's coastline, relative sea levels are rising and more land submerges each year.
As the Observer's Bruce Henderson reported Sunday, the combination of warming waters, the coast's flat topography, relentless wave action, coastal storms and sinking lands have combined to speed up relative sea level rise. A science panel forecasts a rise of perhaps 1 meter, or about 39 inches, over the 21st century. Few states stand to lose as much as North Carolina, with about 2,000 square miles of land 1 meter or less above sea level.
Hand-wringing and wailing won't do much. Sand replenishment for beaches and dikes such as one being built to surround the town of Swan Quarter will help, if there's enough money. No one believes there will be enough.
Already, erosion and storms have underwashed rows of beach houses at several points along the coast. And while no one wants to retreat, that's in fact what some areas have been doing quietly for decades. State officials believe an important tipping point will occur perhaps a little more than three decades from now, by 2042, when many people and their workplaces, homes and community facilities will have to move inland.
The wisest course will be to make forward-looking decisions now about building new infrastructure and moving existing infrastructure landward. An ambitious plan to remap coastal floodplains with the help of a $5 million federal grant will be invaluable in determining areas of greatest risk. Already DOT is planning to raise the level of U.S. 64 along 28 miles of the Albemarle-Pamlico peninsula. Officials need to apply such long-range planning to everything from boat ramps and public docks to schools, courthouses and other facilities on the vulnerable Outer Banks.
No one's warning that the Banks will disappear entirely under seawater. But if relative sea level rise speeds up to a rate of 6 feet a century because of the melting of the ice caps, our coastline will look very different - with more islands, more marshes and fewer of the broad beaches and expensive coastal homes we became used to in the last half of the 20th century. As sea levels rise, so must our ability to plan for how to cope with this rising tide.
