Tim Gunn is an American fashion and television personality born on July 29, 1953, in Washington D.C. With experience from the Parsons School of Design in New York City, Gunn broke out as a fashion mentor on the hit TV reality show Project Runway (2004). His signature catchphrase, "make it work," made him a fan favorite. Gunn also starred on his own show, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style in 2007. That same year,
"Make it work."
"It's a little costumey."
he joined Liz Claiborne as its chief creative officer.
Early Life
Designer and television personality Timothy M. Gunn was born on July 29, 1953 in Washington, D.C. Gunn's mother, Nancy, helped found the library for the Central Intelligence Agency, while his father, George William Gunn, worked as a Federal Bureau of Investigations agent. A fifth generation Washingtonian, Gunn was raised in the capitol's bucolic Cleveland Park neighborhood. His childhood, however, was anything but idyllic. Gunn was a shy and unhappy boy, who preferred playing with Legos and assembling his sister's Barbie toys to sports, which greatly displeased his father. Gunn changed schools frequently as a result of debilitating social anxiety issues.
Passion for Design
After graduating from high school, Gunn enrolled in Washington's Corcoran College of Art and Design, where he discovered a passion for design and sculpture. He received his bachelor's in fine arts from Corcoran in 1976, and set up a sculpture studio in D.C.'s Dupont Circle, working in the medium of paper and illustration board. He also took a job at Corcoran teaching design and working in campus admissions. In 1983, he was hired as an Assistant Director of Admissions at the Parsons School for Design in New York City. He rose through the ranks at Parsons, eventually becoming an associate dean.
In 2000, Parsons' fashion department was in a state of turmoil. The curriculum had grown stale and stagnant, a lethal combination in an industry obsessed with the cutting edge. Gunn took over the department for what was supposed to be just one year, but he stayed on for seven. During that time he completely revamped the program, helping to place Parsons in the upper echelon of respected design programs. "It ended up being a tremendous labor of love," Gunn said. "It was hugely daunting and hugely unsettling in many ways, but what kept me focused and kept me on a straight and narrow line were the students."
'Project Runway'
Gunn was at Parsons when the producers of a forthcoming reality television show named Project Runway called. "I can remember my tone - in fact, I'm ashamed of it," Gunn recalled. "I was a little haughty and I said that I felt what they wanted to do sounded terrible and that the industry was in enough trouble without a reality show." Reluctantly, Gunn agreed to meet with producers from the Bravo TV network. He was won over by their vision, and allowed Bravo to stage the show at Parsons during the summer break and agreed to serve as an on-air mentor for contestants.
Project Runway premiered on December 1, 2004. Audiences and critics soon warmed to the weekly design contests, and to contestants' big personalities and creativity.

NEW ZEALANDPROTECTING PENGUINS FROM GLOBAL WARMING More than half of the world's 19 penguin species are in danger of extinction — and eight of them live in New Zealand. Determined to save penguins from global warming and other threats, the Center petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2006 to list 12 penguin species under the Endangered Species Act, including New Zealand's southern rockhopper, Fiordland crested, Snares crested, erect-crested, macaroni, royal, white-flippered, and yellow-eyed penguins. PROTECTING RARE NEW ZEALAND BIRDS The Center has been working to secure Endangered Species Act protection for eight imperiled New Zealand birds, some of the rarest and most beautiful in the world. Although ornithologists petitioned for the listing of these birds in 1980, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has delayed protecting them for more than two decades. Thankfully, a 2006 Center lawsuit has now compelled the Service to propose endangered listings for four of the eight birds: the black stilt and the Chatham, Magenta, and Cook's petrels. Endangered Species Act protections could further restrict buying, selling, and importation of these birds, help ensure that U.S. government activities and funding for projects abroad don't jeopardize the species or their vanishing habitats, and increase conservation funding and attention.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Deno Stanley remembers ordering lunch at the McCrory's lunch counter when he was a kid. Now he stands on the other side of a counter in the same building, as the owner of Adelphia Sports Bar & Grille, the restaurant he opened recently at 218 Capitol St.
"It was easy for me to see the vision of what we wanted here," Stanley said.
Stanley developed Adelphia's menu, a fusion of dishes from his Greek heritage and sports bar fare, with the help of an old friend and Culinary Institute of America graduate Douglas Miller.
Miller came up with an unusual menu item Stanley thinks he just might have invented. He dips chunks of feta in a light tempura batter, then fries it to form a crispy exterior. Deep fried feta is served on pita triangles with kalamata olives, tomatoes, cucumber and onion drizzled with Yia Yia's dressing, made from his Greek grandmother's recipe.
"I don't even like feta, but this is great," said Stanley. That's right. The grandson of Greek immigrants doesn't like feta.
Gyros are the other signature item on the menu. He wraps the gyro meat in a pita with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and creamy tzatziki sauce, also made from Zoe Stanley's recipe. Other Greek specialties include marinated shrimp, Greek and hummus salads, baked chicken and spanakopita
Standard sports bar fare such as wings, sliders, nachos, burgers, sweet potato and regular fries, onion rings, grilled chicken or deli sandwiches join a variety of salads, soups, turkey burgers, lavash (flatbread) vegetable wraps and deep-fried green beans on the menu. Dinner entrees feature grilled salmon, shrimp, filet mignon and New York strip steak.
Lunch business is brisk. Stanley didn't hang a sign out front for the first four days, but the word spread and the lunch crowd increased steadily every day. Adelphia is open daily, from 11 a.m. through the wee hours of the night. If that sounds vague, it's because Stanley is waiting to see if the crowds will come after the bars close in the evenings.
"The kitchen will open until midnight, and we'll serve a limited menu after that," he said. "I'm following my grandfather's philosophy. He said that if they know we're open, they'll come."
Stanley is the son of Charleston parking lot magnate Spyro Stanley, who has one of his lots across the street from Adelphia. Stanley's grandparents immigrated to the United States from Greece in 1907 and opened a bar and grill on Summers Street and a two-story restaurant on Capitol Street, on the current site of Kinko's. The first floor was a pancake house and the top floor was a Greek restaurant called Athens by Night open for dinner.
"I grew up bussing tables and working the cash register," Stanley said.

this has been a very very painful and long recovery and have about 120 rom and strength back in leg if finally coming back
I cant walk up stairs or steps and avoid at all cost and if I do I drag my left leg up because it to painful to walk up the steps.
anyways, all was going well and my leg locked up and took over 2 hours to work its way free so I could bend and straighten it again.
I called my dr and he advised me of scar tissue. it happens more frequently now and I can almost feel when it is going to lock up and the last 2 times it locked up I had to manually manipulate it before it worked free. the dr did another mri and showed no tear is tendon and in place and a grade 4 lesion blah blah blah. said no surgery and to keep kicking along as best as possible for better words but now its locking up more and more frequently and having to manually manipulate it to free up
does this sound correct? what is going on? surgery? pain tolerance?
second opinion?
any advise would be greatly appreciated and I prefer not go to another dr as I don't want to jump around since he knows my knee and wht has been done.View Thread

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't. In my experience there are also two kinds of Rays fans: Those who hated James Shields last season, and those who simply thought he was unlucky.
Shields is off to a phenomenal start to the 2011 campaign: His ERA is 2.35; his walks are down; and he's just looking dominant. Two complete games in a row can have that effect. So, is he really pitching that much better than in his forgettable 2010, or has he just been getting luckier?
The thing we can definitively say is that Shields is getting way luckier. Look at his batting average on balls in play, left on base percentage, and home runs per fly ball compared to years past.
2010 |
2011 |
Career |
.341 |
.236 |
.305 |
68.4% |
83.3% |
71.7% |
7.0% |
13.8% |
11.1% |
These statistics are the three things to check when looking at a pitcher's luck. Bradley Woodrum did a much more detailed and entertaining job of explaining it (in the links above), so be sure to check out those videos if you aren't already familiar with the stats.
What we're seeing here is that for all three statistics, Shields' 2010 was very bad; his 2011 (so far) has been very good, with his career numbers almost smack-dab in the middle. BABIP, LOB%, and HR/FB are the factors that a pitcher has minimal control over and tend to stabilize around the pitcher's career norms over the course of a season. His bad luck last season made him look like a bum, and his fortune now makes him look like a beast.
I am not enough of an expert in pitch usage to say whether James Shields has done anything to alter his numbers or improve his results. He has a devastating changeup and his curveball has looked outstanding, to complement a fastball that has maintained the increased velocity we saw last season (average 4-seam fastball velocity of 91.5 mph both years). What I can say is that Shields is walking fewer than 2 batters every nine innings and that he is striking out nearly two batters fewer as well.
2010 |
2011 |
Career |
2.26 |
1.88 |
1.99 |
8.28 |
6.34 |
7.34 |
The decrease in strikeouts may look concerning, but not to me. I see James Shields as a complete pitcher, one who is willing to sacrifice greater strikeout numbers to play to his defense and, in the process, go deeper in games. He clearly still has the ability to strike guys out when he needs to, and I personally would rather see him pitch deep into games to the tune of a few less strikeouts.
What all of the numbers are saying is that James Shields is who he always has been. He's looking like an ace right now, but don't be fooled. He has been as lucky this season as he wasn't last year. In all likelihood he will return to his career averages and be very, very good (but not great).

When we were asked not long ago to name one of the recent trends in makeup, we said Gloss Gone Wild, and may it rest in peace. Have you, too, had enough goopy, gooey, tacky, supershiny lip gloss fun? Are you just a little tired of the mouthy, pouty, look-at-my-glistening-lips-before-they-explode phenomenon that seems to have devoured the makeup world? Join the club.
We think it's time to revise our game plan to include a more sophisticated, refined, glamorous-looking mouth—and evidently, the people who bring us lipcolor have been thinking along the same lines. Because there's a new generation of lipsticks entering the playing field; the formulas are lighter, the finishes are matte, creamy, shiny (but not too shiny), and there's even a matte-satin hybrid (MAC Mattene). In some cases, the color is as sheer as any gloss. Beauty companies describe these lipsticks with terms such as "butter-like" and "gel-soufflé." But what makes them so delicious and how do you find the one for you? Step 1: Choose a Color Step 2: The 5 Secrets of Perfect Application Step 3: Take Good Care of Your Lips Advertisement

My Epiphone G-1275 has always been a very playable instrument, but at best, it sounded mediocre. The main problem was an imbalance between the pups on the two necks, so I decided (after reading all of the other glowing reviews) to bite the bullet, and replace all 4 pups with these Parsons St versions. I went for the Alnico V at the necks, and Alnico 11 at the bridges. They have turned it from a very ordinary instrument into a fantastic sounding (and looking) guitar that is going to get a lot of playing from here on. From the first opening bars of "Hotel California", I knew I was on a winner. I also replaced the 18 tuners with Gotoh Keystones (see my review) also purchased from Stew-Mac's. Thanks guys..... you're on a real winner here.
I have favorably used Golden Age humbuckers on two other guitars, but after reading comments about the Parsons Street Humbuckers, I had to try a pair. I was so ever pleased. They gave my guitar which is a Brownsville MB630 the sound that it never had before. I love the way it has improved my guitar and will recommend them to everyone. Thank you for having such great products. Bob Hardison
These are great. Just a heads up though, they have long legs. Not good for Strats without modding. Too bad I was dying to put it in to compliment my Golden age bridge pickup. My mistake, pickup is great. I may keep it for an import Paul if I buy one.
Golden Age pick-ups are the best. I'm a Epiphone fan and for $120.00 you can make them sound like a $2600.00 Gibson. Now whats wrong with that?
Hello Everyone: I recently acquired A parsons street humbucker and an overwound humbucker from a friend who couldn't finish a started project. I installed the pickups in a ESP Grassroots les paul, I used a stew mac wiring kit and orange drop capacitors, well let's say the tone is pure classic, the parsons street humbucker sounds like what a PAF should sound like. It sounds like a boutique pickup with out the boutique price. With the overwound pickup in the bridge position it has that nice "BURST" tone you hear in the late 50's les pauls. I am playing them through a marshall jcm 900 and it has that classic tone. With this setup it sounds like Joe Walsh or the Led Man Jimmy Page. I really want to thank the gang at stew mac for bringing an affordable option to our guitars, especially in this economy at the moment. Thanks again
I'd like to thank you for my last order which included an es-175 trapeze a parson st alnico 2 neck pickup and a micro bead pad selection. > I own an es-175 copy that had been made by the takamine factory as a prototype that never went into production. I was never happy with the feel or sound of the guitar but I knew it had been very well built. I used the micro bead pads to take the over polished lacquer down and to polish out the rough edges on the neck and fretboard. I change the pickup and .......WOW!!!!!! not only has the trapeze given it a better acoustic quality and more sustain the micro bead pad polishing has given it a look that resembles 50 years of polishing and the neck feels amazing. Here's the best bit, the pickup is truly stunning. I've often heard people describe tone as sweet, this pickup for me is not only sweet it's much much more. The high tones are so smooth until you dig in and then it has this cutting vintage blues tone, layoff and you get the sweetest of jazz tones. I can hear the plectrum momentarily scrape across the flat wounds on the lower strings to produce this almost breath like quality just before the sound opens out. A truly beautiful and inspiring tone, that I would be happy to put on any guitar and I've owned some amazing guitars in my 30 years of playing which have included some of the best hand wound pickups in the world. Archtops that have been made by the likes of Dick knight, the luthier to Pete Townsend , George Harrison and Paul McCartney.... This humble guitar has now become my pride and joy and has inspired me to reach for greater things. It's also worth mentioning that the previous owner had put one of your ebony bridges on it as well, fantastic, I think I speak for most when I say thank you so much for providing such incredible quality at an attainable price for the not so rich. Yours Lance Thomas
Great sound, great value. Usually, I don't care too much for the pickups in my guitars. I take whatever my luthier recommends and that's about it. My Heritage Prospect from the Mid-90s was an exception. It's a fantastic little guitar but they shipped it with some dark sounding German pickups. It took me some years and many different pickups until I finally found the Parson Street HBs. I chose the Alncio 2 version for both neck and bridge position and I couldn't be happier with that. To me it doesn't get any better just more expensive. The picture shows the guitar after the installation featuring the odd-colored (fitting the pickguard color) HB mounting rings from StewMac.
I have owned so many guitars in almost 50 years of playing that I can't remember all of them but once I put these Golden Age Parsons Street humbuckers in my Epiphone Les Paul Custom Black Beauty I was flat out amazed. I have used Imperials, Fralins, Holmes, Duncan and many others in LP's before but I have to say that these Parson Street PUPS are as smooth, warm, articulate, balanced and crystal clear of tone as any of the previous ones mentioned. I used an Alnico 2 in the neck and an Alnico 5 at the bridge. Combined they are perfect for rhythm playing and the A2 at the neck is superb for playing the blues. The A5 at the bridge is punchy and defined in Overdrive or Distortion modes and clean and punchy in the clean mode. So after the addition of these excellent Parson Street pickups and the master craftsmanship that Mike Forrester of Forrester Kustoms did in making this Epi LP in to a player as good as any "Real Deal" Gibson I have ever owned. This guitar has become my front line instrument for performances and studio work alike.
I have an Epi Les Paul. I like the neck and the weight better than the current Gibson's I can reach. The electronics were awful. Parson Streets, new wiring, caps, pots, switch and jack, a complete setup, and this axe is in a different category of good. These Parson Streets are simply the best PAFs out there.
I own a 1980 Gibson Es 335 Pro that originally came with Dirty Fingers pickups. I have replaced the pickups numerous times with ones that have had higher output and have always been disappointed with how muddy the instrument has sounded. When I replaced my ceramics with a set of the Parson Street Humbuckers, I was amazed at the clarity of tone and balanced output that I believed the guitar always had, but had not yet found! It's wonderful to be inspired each time I plug in! Next up is a Les Paul upgrade!

Fortune and glory kid
Any thoughts on running with a concussion or maybe when to return to running after suffering a one? CT scan was clean, no fracture and no obvious damage but it was a very solid hit on the asphalt after jumping down from the back of my truck. Damn black ice took my feet right out from under me.
I took a spill from my bike at the end of August and got a concussion from it. I was knocked out for about three minutes before regaining a little awareness. I did my first short, easy run five days later. The doctor told me when my headache was gone and I help closer to normal that I could resume working out again but if the headaches returned I should stop for awhile.
MTA: I am no doctor so take what I say for whats its worth........very little. Hopefully Trent will chime in.

CD/LP/Track Review
Don Patterson: Steady Comin' At Ya
Don Patterson (1936-1988) wasn't the most distinctive organist to follow on the heels of Jimmy Smith's success. But, like Larry Young and Shirley Scott who also played piano first, Patterson was undoubtedly one of the more melodic and lyrical of organ practitioners. What's more, while his more popular peers ventured into soul jazz, funk and pop, Patterson stayed firmly rooted within the bop tradition. He recorded a whopping 15 albums for Prestige between 1964 and 1969, then recorded only five more for the Muse label until his final 1978 album, recorded a decade before his death.
Steady Coming At Ya includes all five tracks from Patterson's terrific 1973 Muse LP, These Are Soulful Days, adding one track ("Lori") from his 1972 Muse debut, The Return of Don Patterson and two tracks ("Harold's House of Jazz" and "Room 608") from Movin' Up (1976).
The Soulful Days tracks make this a most worthwhile set and catch Patterson at his very best in a fine quartet featuring Jimmy Heath on tenor sax, Pat Martino on guitar and Albert Heath on drums. The four reflect winningly on Cal Massey's title tune (perhaps better known from Lee Morgan's performance), two standards ("Skylark" and a remarkably un-corny "Whistle While You Work") and two blues (Dizzy Gillespie's "Blue 'n Boogie" and Patterson's 18-minute "Muse Blues"). Throughout, Patterson solos with the sensitive, understated flair of a pianist. Jimmy Heath is well featured on "Whistle While You Work" and "Blue 'n Boogie." Martino, perfectly matched to Patterson for slower tempos, however, excels - as he does elsewhere on the faster tempos. The remaining tracks are of interest to hear Patterson interact in separate quartets featuring the altos of Richie Cole and Eddie Daniels. But they only fill out the CD and don't offer enough of the interest these groups can offer on their own.
Steady Coming At Ya contains some of Don Patterson's best recorded work and offers proof that this melodic bop organist is a neglected talent that, even a decade after his death, remains deserving of wider recognition.
Songs:These Are Soulful Days; Whistle While You Work; Skylark; Blue 'n Boogie; Muse Blues; Harold's House of Jazz; Room 608; Lori.
Players:Don Patterson: organ; Jimmy Heath: tenor sax; Richie Cole or Eddie Daniels: alto sax; Pat Martino or Vic Juris or Ted Dunbar: guitar; Albert Heath or Billy James: drums.

CD/LP/Track Review
Territory Band: Collide (2007)
The Territory Band has, at its core, players who execute Vandermark's writing with a satisfying proportion of improvised and ensemble playing that has as its contemporaries bands like the Brötzmann Tentet, the ICP Orchestra, and Barry Guy's LJCO. Vandermark has always acknowledged these bands, but this recording brings to mind another band that had ties to his Chicago scene. The music heard on Collide is solidly in the tradition of Sun Ra's vision.
The five-part composition, recorded live in 2006 at Chicago's Millennium Park, opens with a spirited swing. This kind of acknowledgment to jazz history finds Axel Doerner playing some blues-inflected trumpet over the composed parts, only to open things up to the strings of cellist Fred Longberg-Holm and guitarist David Stackenäs. Certainly the crowd felt the groove as saxophonist Fred Anderson strolled into "Part 2, and we hear his signature tenor sound blowing huge notes. The world twists in an odd direction with Lasse Marhaugs electronic accompaniment, a sort of burning electronics akin to a G.X. Jupitter-Larsen' deconstruction. The tradition has morphed, as suddenly the group's swinging is challenged by the digital future. Never fear, the composed section and its beat returns. Anderson deals with the electronics and the ensemble, soloing in front and over the energy systems created.
Part 4 is the culmination of the piece, with the band working at full strength. Vandermark's composition is tested, expanded, and driven hard here. To his credit the music, held together by dual percussionists Paul Lytton and Paal Nilssen-Lovem, is never confused nor does it dissolve into chaos. The last part opens with the drummers calling the session to conclusion. The music churns, not unlike a Brötzmann Tentet, but the true spirit is that of Sun Ra and his love of all things ceremonial. Did the musicians have the urge to parade through the audience carrying Fred Anderson on their shoulders? I bet they did.
Track Listing: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5.
Personnel: Axel Doerner: trumpets; Per-�ke Holmlander: tuba; Lasse Marhaug: electronics; Paul Lytton: percussion; Paal Nilssen-Love: percussion; Jim Baker: piano; Fredrik Ljungkvist: baritone, tenor; Fred Anderson: tenor saxophone; Dave Rempis: alto saxophone, tenor saxophone; Ken Vandermark: tenor saxophone, Bb clarinet; Kent Kessler: bass; Fred Longberg-Holm: cello; David Stacken�s: guitars.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to hydrocortisone: compounding powder, injectable powder for injection, injectable solution, injectable suspension, oral suspension, oral tablet, rectal foam with applicator, rectal suspension
Corticosteroid complications are primarily dose and duration of therapy dependent. Adverse effects have occurred less frequently at physiologic or lower pharmacologic dosages.
Adverse effects associated with duration of corticosteroid therapy include those occurring during short-term therapy (up to three weeks) or those occurring during long-term therapy (greater than three weeks).
Short-term effects have included sodium retention-related weight gain and fluid accumulation, hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance, hypokalemia, gastrointestinal upset and ulceration, reversible depression of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, and mood changes including mild euphoria and insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, mania, catatonia, depression, delusions, hallucinations, and violent behavior.
Long-term effects have included hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal activity suppression, Cushingoid appearance, hirsutism or virilism, impotence, menstrual irregularities, peptic ulcer disease, cataracts and increased intraocular pressure/glaucoma, myopathy, osteoporosis, and vertebral compression fractures.
Cardiovascular effects such as hypertension and congestive heart failure due to long-term fluid retention as well as direct vascular effects have occurred during corticosteroid therapy.
Endocrine effects such as decreased glucose tolerance and hyperglycemia resulting in diabetes-like symptoms have occurred. Hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal activity has been suppressed up to 12 months following long-term corticosteroid administration. Cushingoid appearance commonly has occurred with chronic therapy. Hirsutism or virilism, impotence, and menstrual irregularities may occur.
Corticosteroid therapy may induce glucose intolerance by reducing the utilization of glucose in tissues and increasing hepatic glucose output. Diabetes mellitus requiring diet modifications and hypoglycemic agents has developed in some patients.
Adrenal suppression can persist for up to twelve months after long-term corticosteroid therapy. Giving corticosteroids once a day or once every other day may reduce adrenal suppression. After corticosteroid therapy has been tapered, supplemental corticosteroid therapy during times of physical stress may be required.
Gastrointestinal effects of corticosteroid therapy have included gastrointestinal upset, nausea, vomiting, and peptic ulcer disease. Pancreatitis, ulcerative esophagitis, gastrointestinal perforation and hemorrhage have also been reported.
Gastrointestinal effects most commonly occurring during corticosteroid therapy have included nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, and anorexia. Peptic ulcer disease has been associated with long-term corticosteroid therapy, but is relatively uncommon. Routine prophylactic therapy is not warranted in all individuals. Aluminum/magnesium-containing antacids generally have been used to manage GI complaints without significant drug interactions.
Metabolic adverse effects including hypernatremia (rare), hypokalemia, fluid retention, negative nitrogen balance and increased blood urea nitrogen concentration have occurred during corticosteroid therapy. Glucocorticoids have been reported to decrease the secretion of thyrotropin (TSH).
Musculoskeletal effects of corticosteroid therapy including myopathy, osteoporosis, vertebral compression fractures, tendon rupture (particularly the Achilles tendon), and aseptic necrosis of bone have been reported. Aseptic necrosis has been reported most often to affect the femoral head.
Corticosteroid myopathy has presented as weakness and wasting of the proximal limb and girdle muscles and generally has been reversible following cessation of therapy.
Corticosteroids inhibit intestinal absorption and increase urinary excretion of calcium leading to bone resorption and bone loss. Postmenopausal females are at risk of loss of bone density. Sixteen percent of elderly patients treated with corticosteroids for 5 years may experience vertebral compression fractures.
Immunologic effects of corticosteroid therapy have included impairment in cell-mediated immunity and increased susceptibility to bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections. Immune response to skin tests may be suppressed.
Hepatic effects such as reversible increases in serum transaminase and alkaline phosphatase concentrations have occurred during corticosteroid therapy.
Hematologic effects have included thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, and platelet alterations resulting in thrombolic events.
Dermatologic effects occurring during corticosteroid therapy have included increased ease in bruising, ecchymosis, petechiae striae, delayed wound healing, and acne.
Ocular changes with corticosteroid therapy have included increased intraocular pressure, glaucoma, and posterior subcapsular cataracts.
Psychiatric effects including psychoses, personality or behavioral changes, and pseudotumor cerebri have occurred/been exacerbated during corticosteroid therapy.
Bronchospasm after intravenous hydrocortisone has been reported in some patients with aspirin-sensitive respiratory disease. A challenge study with oral aspirin followed with 100 mg hydrocortisone (IV) resulted in respiratory reactions to aspirin in 45 of 53 patients. These 45 patients then received a hydrocortisone challenge. No naso-ocular, dermal, or respiratory reactions were noted in 44 of 45 patients administered hydrocortisone. One aspirin-sensitive patient experienced bronchospasm and naso-ocular reactions to hydrocortisone and naso-ocular with minimal bronchospasm with methylprednisolone. Following aspirin desensitization and while on maintenance aspirin therapy, this patient again reacted with similar symptoms to hydrocortisone.
Case reports of hypersensitivity reactions to corticosteroids have been relatively uncommon. Side effects have included bronchospasm, shock, urticaria, and angioedema. Cross-reactivity between aspirin and hydrocortisone in patients with aspirin-sensitive respiratory disease has been suggested as the mechanism in patients with asthma, however data are controversial. Anaphylaxis has been most frequently associated with rapid injection or infusion of a high dose of corticosteroid. Reactions may be mediated by an immune or nonimmune mechanism.
Pseudorheumatism or glucocorticoid-withdrawal syndrome not related to adrenal insufficiency has occurred on withdrawal of corticosteroids. Patients experienced anorexia, nausea, vomiting, lethargy, headache, fever, arthralgias, myalgias, and postural hypotension. Symptoms resolved when corticosteroid therapy was reinstated.

He Kills Again
Are You No- one? -- Hey reject, are you no one? Have you no shadow under the sun? You think you have a reason, To keep committing treason, Stay inside and smoke your weed, Only your own demons, you feed, Come forth and talk, We will help you once more walk, Or shall I stamp it on your forehead, And lay all day in your bed? Will you let your demons control you? Override and bind you? You must stand up and believe, And these demons reprieve, Can you be someone on this planet? Or will you let your demons run rampit?
Posted Jul 13, '08 at 10:45pm
srry forgot the first one
He Kills Again -- Laying quietly in your bed, Resting your weary head, You do not hear him coming, For he has guile and cunning, Through the window see you a face in a mask, He seeks to complete his task, Shut the window, lock the door, It is you he's looking for, Don't run, you'll trip and fall, Don't try to hide at all, You're filled with fear as your heart begins to race, Hold those who are dear, as you look into his face, He breaks down the door, You collapse on the floor, Release your life unto him, His task complete, he grins an evil grin, Now he hides, Time, he bides, Be careful in your family den, For tonight, he kills again.

Frescobaldi La Vite Lucente 2010, Tuscany, Italy
Price $40
Score 90/100
Remarks: The 2010 Lucente is back to the more classic style. Make no mistake this is an excellent wine but you will have to cellar this for three to seven years before it hits its stride. Look for a tighter, spicier edition with smoky, meaty red fruit and leather aromas. The attack is linear with cassis, cranberry, plummy, peppery vanilla flavours. Once a second wine, the latest Lucentes stand on their own as super wines. The current mix is 75/25 merlot/sangiovese aged in 55 per cent new French oak and 5 per cent new American oak, 40 per cent French oak, used once.

WINFIELD, W.Va. — An additional sheriff's deputy may soon be on the road in Putnam County.
Sheriff Steve Deweese presented the county commission with a request Tuesday for $13,000 to shuffle some positions to achieve a more suitable rank structure and add a deputy.
Commissioners approved his request pending a legal review by the county attorney.
The sheriff's office runs four shifts, each led by a sergeant and a corporal.
"We just had one corporal on each shift," Deweese said. "Right now we've got a sergeant that's off with an injury and we've got a corporal that's off with an injury, so I've got a deputy running that shift."
A second shift has also recently been run by a deputy as both the sergeant and corporal have had to take time off.
Deweese wants to add a second corporal to each shift to avoid that situation in the future.
To do that, he plans to promote four officers to the rank of corporal, raising their salaries incrementally. To offset the salary increase, he plans to replace a retiring sergeant with a deputy instead of promoting another sergeant.
The retiring sergeant has been serving as a full-time bailiff. The full-time bailiff position will be replaced with three part-time civilian bailiffs, and that's the part of the plan that requires legal review.
State law requires a deputized officer to be available to judges, but county attorney Jennifer Scragg Karr and Deweese believe that if the circuit judges accept a civilian bailiff, they aren't required to assign a sworn deputy to the court.
Deweese said he spoke to the circuit judges and magistrates, and they've all indicated to him that civilian bailiffs would be acceptable as long as they have military or police backgrounds.
The retiring sergeant has agreed to be one of the part-time civilian bailiffs, and Deweese told the commission that the others also meet that criteria.
Karr asked the commission for time to review a relevant case to be certain that civilian bailiffs, with supervision by a sergeant in the sheriff's department, would be legal, so the commission approved Deweese's request pending her review.

4 Monitors with 2012 mini?
Currently have 2010 iMac running 3 extra monitors, 2 with the Plugable USB adapters.
Considering going to a mini for the Fusion drive & upgraded speed. Can I run 4 monitors with it, using the 2 USB adapters? While surfing I bumped into a speck that said the HD4000 could only support 3 monitors and I was wondering if anybody had any more info. Thanks. |

Apple's web site suggests only two for the new Mini on the Mini DisplayPort, so perhaps a third on the HDMI port.
2012 Mac Mini; i5 Quad Core ITX Hackintosh with Blu-ray playback HTPC; 1 TB eSATA Apple TV; 3.8 gHz i7 Quad Core Hackintosh, 2GB HD5870; MacBook Pro i7; MacBook Air; iPhone 4s; 1st Mac=Centris 610 |

You'll have slower graphics performance on the displays with the USB adapters, but you should already be used to that from your iMac setup. In fact, the adapters should run exactly the same speed as before. Out of curiosity, do you lose some of the display effects with your adapters? I have one I've used with my mini, and when using the magnification effect on dock icons, it looks much worse than a monitor hooked to the onboard graphics. I'm guessing mine has no 3D support under OSX, and wondering if thats true of all of them. |

As to the performance of the Plugable adapters: As I don't use them for video (no iTunes movies or Flash/HTML surfing), so I don't see any issues. I use them strictly for tables & graphs in my trading platform. They do have constantly changing numbers, but I don't see much delay or color performance issues. To investigate a better answer for you, I've just opened a streaming news channel player on one of the adapter run monitors. It is a Java based internet plug-in. In the original player size (3"x4"), with motion, it seems a bit jumpy and the color is faded a tad. When expanded to full screen, the jumpiness is almost unbearable. I wouldn't recommend it for full screen video or gaming. But it seems to be fine for text or fairly static information. |

Your Baby
You're reaching an important milestone--the end of the first trimester. Your baby now weighs about half an ounce and is about 2 1/2 inches long from top to bottom. He can open his mouth and wiggle his fingers and toes, upon which tiny nails have begun to grow. Brain development is in high gear, as fetal nerve cells multiply rapidly and synapses start firing.
Hot Topics:
Your Body
Your uterus has moved from the pelvic floor to the front of your abdomen, which -- fingers crossed -- may ease the pressure on your bladder, cutting down on bathroom breaks. A dark vertical line of pigmentation, called linea nigra, may appear on your belly. If so, don't worry! It will disappear soon after birth.
Do's and Don'ts
Do fight fiery heartburn! Try skipping fatty, acidic, or spicy foods; eating small, frequent meals; and waiting a few hours after eating before lying down. You can also take antacids with calcium carbonate, such as Tums.
So much for that fabled glow: Dermatologists say the same hormones that may keep one expectant mom's complexion blemish-free can cause a bout of acne in another. If you're breaking out, use oil-free, noncomedogenic makeup to cover pimples.

As the successor to one of our favourite netbooks, the HP Mini 5102 has some pretty big shoes to fill. It wasn't HP's choice in components that we liked about its 10-inch Mini 5101 business-line system -- after all, most 2009 netbooks shared a very uniform set of parts -- it was the overall design and build quality of the netbook that impressed us.
With a body made of aluminium and magnesium alloy, the 5101 felt significantly more rugged than many of the plastic netbooks it was competing with, and its excellent keyboard layout made typing a breeze. The 5102 offers minor cosmetic tweaks but also more configuration options, including a touchscreen. That means you can create a fairly compelling netbook, but it'll also be an expensive one, as anything above the base configuration will add significantly to the cost. HP has yet to announce UK pricing, but you can expect to pay a premium rate for this machine when it's available in March.
Slick, not a brick
Very similar in appearance to the 5101, the 5102 has a black, brushed-metal lid and matte black keyboard and keyboard tray, offset by a glossy touchpad. The overall look of the netbook is definitely on the business side of the equation, but it's also sleek enough to hold its own at a hipster coffee shop. Although it's not the thinnest or lightest netbook ever, it feels solid and durable, without being a brick.
We were concerned when HP ditched its previous wide, flat keys for a redesigned, pebble-style keyboard on the 5101. The 5102 keeps this new design, and time has shown it to be a good one, although we still have a soft spot for the older design. Important keys, like Shift, are large. Controlling the volume, screen brightness and so on are the primary functions of the top row of function keys, while the somewhat more obscure F-key functions require you to hold down the Fn key. This change from the usual is something we've seen on a few laptops recently, and it seems like a generally good idea.
The 5102's touchpad is of a traditional type, with the mouse buttons located below. We prefer this style to the side-mounted mouse buttons and elongated touchpads found on older HP netbooks, but, at the same time, the touchpad itself is small and its slick surface attracts fingerprints like nothing we've ever seen before. Consequently, it often looks dingy.
The 10.1-inch wide-screen display has a 1,024x600-pixel native resolution, which is the norm for low-end netbooks. As a premium system with an anticipated premium price, we'd expect to see a high-definition, 1,366x768-pixel screen by default (it will be available as an optional upgrade).
Our base-model configuration of the 5102 omits Bluetooth, but otherwise offers a standard set of ports and connections for a netbook. While HP's configuration options aren't live yet, the system will offer a built-in 3G connection. More interesting is the option for a touchscreen. This may be of limited practical use for most people, but it shows the increasing deployment of touch technology in the laptop industry.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Mark Genovese, 518.782.9400, ext 353
YAPHANK, Sept. 7, 2010 – The New York State Nurses Association is urging the Suffolk County Legislature not to approve selling the John J. Foley Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility to a private corporation.
The Nurses Association believes that the sale of a municipal not-for-profit agency with a philosophy is based on service would have a negative impact on the community. Privatization is based on earning a profit. Private health care corporations make money by picking and choosing who they will provide service to – clients that will bring in the most revenue. It denies care to those who are unable to pay, those whose care may be more complicated or time consuming, or those with insurance that is difficult to deal with.
The facility's promotional literature says it has the best staff-to-patient ratio in the region, adding:
"John J. Foley is different, and that difference comes from our people… . There's a sense of community at John J. Foley that you aren't likely to find at most places. It doesn't result from any one thing, but rather from the many things that differentiate Foley from other facilities."
The Nurses Association believes these advantages – and the quality of care they provide as a result – would all be lost through privatization.
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 36,000 members, it is the state's largest professional association and largest union for registered nurses. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

To Do Wednesday: Girls' Night Out
With the so-called "War on Women" raging all this year, we're left wanting to support the young ladies in our lives—while catching up with our closest social-circuit pals. Arden Wohl chairs the committee for tonight's Girls Like Us benefit in support of Girls Educational and Mentoring Services along with fellow philanthropic types including model Karen Elson and (male) director Jesse Peretz. Hostess Jada Pinkett Smith, who knows a thing or two about raising self-confident young ladies—her daughter Willow is a brash and successful young recording artist—will keep things running smoothly as the likes of Natasha Lyonne and Stella Schnabel present readings about self-esteem.

Is Delaware and Maryland part of Northeastern?
Is Delaware and Maryland part of Northeastern?
What a random question for a surf forum. I would say that Delaware is part of the Northeast and Maryland isn't. The Mason Dixon runs between these two states.
northeastern what? MD and Del are typically classified as mid-atlantic states.
there is no real defined lines... sometimes delaware and maryland could be considered northeast, but generally speaking, we are talking about north of New York.
For swellinfo purposes, northeast is north of New Jersey, just for grouping purposes. It is subjective.
Ok. I want to know if Delaware and Maryland are part of Northeastern states. I am starting Northeastern Deaf Surfriders. There is other deaf surfer from the south starting Southern Deaf Surfriders. We are not sure if Delaware and Maryland are belongs to Northeastern or Southern. That is why I am asking a question.
like i said it is subjective. if you are cutting the east coast and half, then it makes sense to include delaware/maryland in the northeast.
why not join forces and do an East Coast Deaf Riders?
Yes I did thought of that. That wouldn't work out anyway. Deaf community is too small and better off to split up between Northeastern and Southeastern. So higher chance deaf people will come to meet up somewhere in the Northeastern or Southeastern near their homes. That way, people wouldn't complain to drive too far away from their home. It also helped the community to come closer together.

Here's an interesting pic of �The Sault Crew� who put on the war paint for the Easter Seals Ball Hockey Tournament. The five of us are huge fans and look forward to their concert come this July in our area. That day was filled with excitement not only for us but the crowd we had following us each game. The war paint took on another life and it brought out the best in us and was truly an intimidating factor. By days end they were playing KISS songs for us during our warm up and after each game.

Access the Global Review here:
Welcome, guest
Mon Feb 21, 2011
Solvency II was approved by the European Parliament in April 2009. Joy Dunbar, editor of Absolute UCITS, looks at the new directive, which comes into force 1 January 2013, and what it means for the UCITS hedge fund industry.
The European insurance industry has to review assets because of a new EU directive due to come into force next year.
The Solvency II Directive requires insurance companies to be more prudent by setting new requirements on capital adequacy and risk management for insurers while imposing varying capital charges on different asset classes.
Bonds have a lower solvency capital requirement than other asset classes like hedge or equities.
The insurance industry in the Europe has total assets of around $6.5 trillion, according to the CEA, the insurance and reinsurance federation for the region.
For EU insurance companies overall, 39.9% of assets are invested in debt securities and other fixed-income securities, 26% are invested in shares and other variable-yield securities and units in unit trusts and 16.9% are invested in loans, including loans guaranteed by mortgages. Less than 5% is invested in other assets.
