May, 2012: In Harlem, another Bullying-related Suicide
Again the headlines scream "…driven to Suicide.." , …hangs himself after bullies tease…" and sadly, it appears that we are reading the same articles we read only a few short months ago—with one important difference. Adults in authority knew what was going on, and had taken measures to keep young Joel Morales safe. According to one media source, relatives had even filed a police report, and Joel had been transferred to a different school. If this was not effective, what can be done?
Parents, teachers, and authorities are at a loss—but bullying is hardly the first social issue to be rather impervious to the efforts to change "normal" behavior. Think of alcohol abuse—how intractable it still seems, yet how effective AA and Mothers Against Drunk Driving became. The School Assemblies they spoke at are the only ones many parents today remember— parents who are now able to reach out to all manner of support when they discover their own children are abusing substances.
Think back even further, when wife-battering was put on the social agenda in the 1970's. This physical abuse was—and still is–hidden and denied, because its victims fear retribution.—something often expressed by victims of (and bystanders to) bullying. Even though this fear persists, victims of battering have more options today than they did only a generation ago–and more than do victims of bullying today.
While drunk driving and spousal battering can still be pointed to, what has changed are the norms of society. The responses of others around the inebriated or the abused. Social support in all guises—formal laws and shelters to informal support groups–for victims, perpetrators, and others who are affected abound, and are readily available. More importantly, there are enough individuals who do not believe drunk driving or wife battering are cool, or even acceptable, and it is this informal network of support that has created safe spaces and modified behaviors. There are bystanders who are able to intervene—without fear of retribution. And it is changes in the day to day responses of bystanders that will slowly change the formidable issues that now characterize bullying. Culture is outraged—and this is the first crucial step. Outcry is being made, and the swell from below will change norms—but it will take time.
It is a well-known , sad-but-true irony that most wars have been fought in the name of religion. The same judgmental tendencies which armed the righteous on battlefields are now playing themselves out in Tennessee courtrooms. There, members of the Family Action Council of Tennessee ( FACT ) seek exemption from any 'bullying' laws that seek protections for, or educational initiatives designed to insure tolerance of, individuals who express LGBT identities. Legal locus is shifted to attributes of the victims, as opposed to the behaviors of the bullies.
'All men are created equal', when written, referred only to white men—legally. Men of any other race were not fully human ( and women were an entirely different story). Now it seems FACT wants to courts to acknowledge that men (and women) of all races are equal under the law, but not men (women) of all sexual persuasions. They are not entitled to protection in the pursuit of happiness—and their life and liberty may be at stake as well.
Bad Behavior on Display: The Republican Debates
According to Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney does not care about the 'very poor'
Mitt Romney mockingly congratulated Newt Gingrich on the 15th anniversary of his censure for ethics violations
And on it goes. Ron Paul has even produced campaign ads that have been banned. These ads, like the statements above, are not lies. And admittedly, the stakes are high—presidential nomination of the republican party.
So is it ok to "play" in ways that state legislature is trying to ban in the schoolyards??
Mockery, out-of-context implications, cruel 'asides', and attempts to intimidate are all fair tactics we have no qualms about modeling for our children.
Perhaps they are ok for children to mimick since what is at stake for them is of even greater consequence to their daily well-being than any campaign is to the well-being of the candidates.
Be clear, outside the context of the campaign, we would call this behavior 'bullying'
We all have done or said things that we might be held accountable for—just as Newt might be held accountable for the fact of his ethics violations censure or the fact of his numerous marriages, or Mitt for the facts surrounding his business decisions while running Bain capital, but can't these facts speak for themselves?
Perhaps not.
Start the discussion with a concrete example that has been publicly censured: What about Ron Paul's ads are not factual? What (if anything) about them is wrong?
Once Again, Teen Suicide….What could Her Brain Waves have told us?
Sadly, another teen, this one on Staten Island, has taken her own life, and both humiliation by peers and loss of relationship have contributed to her tragic decision. Amanda left a note—as if the comments on her facebook page weren't enough.
Relatives, but not her school, knew of the bullying as well as her suffering.
What if doctors had known too?
Could neuropsychology come to play a role in helping the victims (even as we continue to address the problem itself?)
C. Nathan DeWall claims that research has found "common neural overlap between social and physical pain mechanisms." In other words, the pain centers that light up in our brain when we experience social shame, rejection, and exclusion are the same pain centers that light up when we are physically injured. (This is probably evolutionary—rejection by a mother, and/or exclusion by the primary social group or tribe, would threaten survival as much as physical injury).
Which leads to the question, can medication designed to reduce pain-sensitivity—such as over the counter acetaminophen—help reduce the pain, thus preventing the suffer from reaching a threshold that is intolerable, and taking extreme action? Preliminary Research apparently indicates it can. Perhaps this fact needs to be added to our growing arsenal of tools attempting to address this social issue, and prevent tragedies like the one Amanda Cummings' family is suffering.
"….yeah he found a six-shooter gun. In his dad's closet hidden in a box of fun things, and I don't even know what. But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you better run, better run, outrun my bullets…"
—Foster the People.
I was truly puzzled to hear all the criticism of this song….people not letting their children download it, complaining that it shamefully glorifies tragic school shootings, that it encourages copycats, etc.
The obvious response– 'but isn't that what we want our rock music to be—a social commentary?' was quickly followed by the realization that no-one of my generation went to school with the thought of gun-violence secreted in the back of their brain. It never occurred to us that a classmate might bring a gun to school. So kudos to this generation for putting the issues of their generation on the table for processing—in the parlance of their generation. "Adults" have hardly been able to address the topic in productive ways, or in language that is meaningful to those who do have to process the possibility—if not reality—of school shootings every day. Why would we even think to do anything less than use the song to open and encourage dialogue around the topic—whether that is what the band intended or not.
MICHIGAN on way to MANDATING anti-bullying PROGRAMS in schools
Michigan's senate voted today to require schools to adopt anti-bullying PROGRAMS.
Kudos on taking action, and requiring more than a vaguely-certified bullying point-person in each school.
The politicians did their work.
Now what?
What kinds of programs?
Will they be pre-emptive, or caught up with mediation and victim-services?
For K-12, or just targeted grades?
Is there funding allocated?
How extensive will they be? Are school assemblies considered 'programs'??( What do you remember from school assemblies??) How about 'poster-campaigns' or 'respect for all' week? (Does anyone expect these type of initiatives to be "enough" to be effective?)
On what basis will such "programs" be adopted? (that is, who has answers and what are they?)
How long between the passing of this bill, the answering of these questions, the implementation of 'programs', and the assessment of their effectiveness?
In the meantime, what to do while we wait and watch?
Bills and Laws are great, but it really does take a village.
Teens (especially teen girls)…and their daily dramas….and the shocked remorse when the upshot is a suicide. We have begun 'fixing' the problem by affixing blame: it is 'the bullies.' We further assuage our consciences by becoming active in the outcry against the tolerance of relationally aggressive behaviors—especially at schools.
But still, people silently wonder—suicide? How could it have gotten that bad? I was (am) bullied. It seems it could only have gotten that bad if there was no support structure for the victim….But s/he could have gone to the guidance counselor, or to any of her teachers, or to me…I would have helped, so…… suicide? I Don't Really Understand. Why didn't she just…..
Gone to 'helpful' adults And What? asked them to step in and mediate, knowing all along that they might be able to address specific instances, but what of the daily nuances, what of the whole, what of the cumulative effect of the bullying, on top of all the other 'stuff' going on: on top of_____, as well as ______, and _____, and homework and parents and hormones?
It is a tangled web , as Hannah Baker explains in this extraordinary book.
Before she commits suicide. Read it.
As the scandal at Penn State continues to dominate the news, talk about why the key administrators and law enforcement 'didn't do more' is accompanied by disgusted head-shaking: because of 'fear of losing their jobs.' Such speculation, while not wrong, has not taken into consideration 'the bystander effect'—which suggests that most of us would not have acted much differently.
Although the Huffington Post has already noted this angle, it bears repeating on a bullying blog site.
Of course they were afraid of losing their jobs, just as fourth grade bystanders are afraid of 'telling' on a bully, for fear of losing all that they have—their social standing in the schoolyard. But they also did what most bystanders do: they deferred responsibility, assuming that 'someone else' would take care of it. Paterno passed the buck to Curley, Curley to Schultz and presumably, Spanier. Spanier was let go immediately because as president, he should have stepped in. But as president, he must delegate, and he had Curley overseeing athletics…..and Curley of course deferred to the president….and round it goes…..each thinking the other was 'handling' the situation.
This is not to defend what they did, or to suggest that no cover-up was involved. But it is to add another consideration to our understanding of how and why it happened. Kitty Genovese had how many witnesses to her murder, all of whom deferred to the person in the next apartment, who might have seen something more….and 'handled' the situation.
It is a question of the cost of assuming responsibility in our society—how forgiving are we if someone 'says something' and is wrong? Not to mention, what is often (though clearly not in this instance!) the cost of being right?
Will the Supreme Court get to know Kara Kowalski?
Remember Kara Kowalski? Maybe not. 2005 was almost 7 years ago, and sadly, so many instances of cyberbullying like hers have been in the news since then. Kara, a cheerleader and reigning "Queen of Charm" at Musselman HS, created a MySpace page called S.A.S.H. and invited a number of her friends to check it out. In her deposition, Kara claimed that S.A.S.H. stood for Students Against Sluts Herpes, but her peers said otherwise. What it really stood for was Students Against Shay's Herpes, Shay being a fellow student who was pictured on the page. Students posted photos, photoshopped them, left derogatory messages, and were, in general, demeaning and hateful. Kowalski , found guilty by the school officials of creating a 'hate website' which was against school anti-bullying policies, was suspended for 5 days, kicked off the cheerleading squad, and (ironically) prevented from crowning the next "Queen of Charm."
Kowalski sued the school, claiming they violated her free speech and due process rights, and claiming the school had no authority to punish her, as she had created the website from her home.
She lost her case, and just this summer, lost her appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. This has not deterred her. She is now seeking Supreme Court Review—and, sooner rather than later, the Supreme Court is going to need to revisit the issue of student's freedom of speech, which they ruled on in Tinker vs. Des Moines in 1969 (see my earlier blogs on cyberbullying).
Julie Hilden, writing for CounterPunch, is hoping she does not get it. Hilden discusses the complexities in the case, most notably the fact that legal remedies already exist to address Shay's rights, a fact which fritters away her need for school authorities to intervene on her behalf, and the blurring of lines distinguishing a bullying case from a First Amendment case. While Hilden's arguments are convincing, Kowalski's behavior was heinous, and surely bullying behaviors which the courts will need to address will be complicated, and involve Freedom of Speech issues. AND, for precisely that reason, the court will need to sift the complex set of factors which are involved in this claim, and determine which to prioritize in setting legal precedent. That would seem to be half the battle in such cases—'seem to be' from the perspective of a concerned citizen, not a lawyer. Refresh your memory of the case Would you want your school to be able to sanction Kowalski if she created a MySpace page about your daughter, turning her into a social pariah at school? Would it be reasonable to claim such a page would interfere with her ability to learn? (Are my pandering, emotional appeals going to be left to dangle off a legal chessboard? Should they be?)
Guidance counselors, parents, and concerned teachers have traditionally consoled victims with the adage "s/he only picks on you because s/he's insecure". Perhaps. But is this the whole picture? Maybe bullies aren't acting out of their insecurity, but reacting to some other factor— physical or psychological.
In a 1988 study, Jack Katz interviewed hundreds of prisoners, and analyzed hundreds of criminal acts (from property damage to extreme violence against individuals). In a majority of cases, he discovered that the perpetrator felt humiliated, and that the crime was caught up with this feeling. That is, their angry, violent actions were reactions. They were responses to the 'inadequacies' (and their shame over them) that the bully felt—by being 'dis'ed' by their victim, or by some other, unrelated event which publicly humiliated them. Perhaps it is this initial action that 'triggers' an insecurity, a (mis?) perception of how others 'must see them' that must be responded to—publicly.
Bert Baruch Wylen's Interview with his bully, in an article entitled "What My Bully Taught Me" http://life.salon.com/topic/interview_with_my_bully/ , seems to support this theory. Think back on your own experiences—as victim, bystander, or bully. Does this fit? Make sense?

It is a super tool for fitting frets ....!!! I am very pleased with the performance and the speed of my work. Be well and thank all the children who work there in STEWMAC helping us !!!!! With consideration and respect ..... George Katsigiannis from Greece HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ..... AND HAPPY 2012 !!!!!
How I wish I'd bought one of these years ago. Put it in my press drill: professional results!! And fret dressing is now a breeze, with no annoying "dinks" in the bead where the edge of the hammer caught it. I'm delighted.
well made and a breeze to use... now im doing all my boards with nibs on the binding .... glued and pressed for that classic look...
nice makes accurate fret work
I am sooo pleased with this outfit!! It has worked great for me. Only one small problem, the 16" caul is a little on the thin side and tends to lean a little when pressure is applied, but not a major problem. I'd recommend this to anyone getting into fret work!!
excellent tool - makes accurate fret work so much easier than hammering
My first three necks had hammered in frets. It took a long time to hammer them in, then it took me a long time to file the frets even. This went right into my drill press, pressed them in quickly, VERY little filing afterwards. Never going back to hammering...
I use it with a drill-press and get great results. Most helpful for bolt-on necks! I saved some money buying just the caul since I was also buying a "Jaws" and can use the brass inserts that comes with it.
I use mine in my drill press and can't tell you how much time and aggravation this tool saves me. Perfectly pressed frets every time!!
After years of cave-manning it we discovered this bad boy. We use it daily in the shop.

After the autopsy of baby Elaina Steinfurth came back Wednesday, the Lucas County coroner ruled her death a homicide. Now, only time will tell what comes next in the case.
Elaina's father, Terry Steinfurth Jr., reported her missing June 2, when he says he came to pick her up from her mother and she was nowhere to be found. Elaina's mother, Angela Steinfurth, and her ex-boyfriend, Steven King, were later arrested. Elaina's skeletal remains were found in a box in an east Toledo garage Sept. 11.
Obstruction of justice charges against Steinfurth and King still have not changed. However, more charges could be presented to a grand jury at any time.
While a grand jury did deliberate Thursday, neither King nor Steinfurth's names were on the list of indictments. We will continue to follow this story and bring you the very latest details. Stay updated in our Justice for Elaina section.

Overall, a clean, basic place to stay. Front desk personnel were very friendly. The room was a clean, no frills type of place. A little run down - chips in the formica, a ripped ottoman, could use a bit of paint touch up. No daily housekeeping for short stays, which didn't bother me, as I was there for only 2 nights. No elevator near my room which was a bit inconvenient. Free internet was fast enough for my purposes. I would stay there again.

The Vibe for Fall 2012
Professorial cool meets Italian chic. Missoni keeps the toned-down palette but ups the amplitude this season, letting luxe prints and fabrics do the talking, while earthen hues and a relaxed silhouette make for an eminently wearable look. Fall's ever-present chunky graphic knits are reimagined with more intricate patterns—and find themselves on footwear, for a kicker—and a gray double-breasted suit gets a textural twist, with a fresh coat of marled wool. With this collection, even the most rugged bohemians can dress for cocktail hour.

M&A Roundup: In MI, a $6.4B Merger
One of the best was to a squelch persistent rumor is to acknowledge that it's true.
Last week Henry Ford Health System and Beaumont Health System did just that.
Two of the largest not-for-profit health systems in Michigan publicly confirmed long-swirling speculation that they're pursuing a merger that, if finalized early next year, will create a $6.4 billion integrated healthcare organization serving the southeastern part of the state.
"This kind of change is sweeping every kind of hospital in the United States," Gene Michalski, CEO of Royal Oak-based Beaumont said Thursday in a teleconference confirming the deal.
"Healthcare reform is not going to go away," Michalski said. "There are too many forces that want change in this country to get higher quality, lower cost healthcare for the populations we serve. It is clearly transformative and it is our belief that this collaboration, the joining of these two wonderful health systems, will be transformative in its own right."
"In short, we want to lead events not trail events. These are both strong health systems. We didn't have to partner. We chose to partner."

An Evansville fire house is about to go back in service, after being closed for more than a month for renovations.
It was exactly one month ago that we went inside to see the early progress at Station 14, that's on Willow Road right near St. Ben's School on the East Side.
Well Friday, firefighters were allowed back in to do some final cleaning, preparing to officially move back in on Monday.
During the renovation process they worked out of Station 16 on Washington Avenue.
While they were gone the house got new countertops and cabinets, floors and fresh paint.
The roof has now been replaced.
Some of those renovations being paid for with a county option income tax money back from the state after an accounting error.
"We're all excited about it we've been bunking with the other guys at station 16 and we'll be glad to get back home and have a nice painted, remodeled station. It'll be great," said Capt. Ben Morris, EFD.
The city says all but one of Evansville's 14 fire stations already have or will be getting some updates.
The guys at Station 14 plan to try to get furniture back in over the weekend and again will be able to stay the night on Monday.

Apevia X-Plorer2 features a good list of specifications: a 200mm LED fan on the clear side (window version only) & two 120mm fan for maximum cooling, front accessible ports for two USB2.0, an eSATA port and high definition audio plus an LCD temperature display and more. With cost concerns in mind, the X-Plorer2 offers better cooling, decent quality and modern design in and out than most of the competitive cases in its price range. The X-Plorer2 is an overall well-built case that you would want to show off to friends and family and comes in 6 color options: black, silver, blue, red, green and pink.

Power supply information is a liePros: Pretty much everything but the power supply. The case looks nice, everything fits, good fans, etc. Cons: There's only one real flaw, but it's an absolutely huge one: the power supply is not, in fact, 450 watts. It is 230 watts; the 450W is the power supply model number. Other Thoughts: The company that made the deceptively-named power supply, Turbolink, is owned by Apevia. I gave them my money, and I'll admit the rest of the case is quite nice, but making a model number suggesting higher wattage than there is, by masquerading as a wattage level, is an absolutely scummy business tactic, and you would be better served buying from a more honest company. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Case ReviewPros: Nice case, easy to work with. Cons: Power supply and with it are bad. They are not long enough for a bottom mounted power supply to reach the top of the board to wire the motherboard. The connectors on it are not nearly enough for a case of this size. Other Thoughts: I like all the cases I have bought before this on Apevia. Normally I don't order ones with power supply for the above reasons and I will watch myself from here on out. Bascially the power supply is worthless to me and will sit in a drawer collecting dust. Did you find this review helpful? |
I love this case!Pros: I have found no issues with this case. Lots of cooling options. Cons: . Other Thoughts: I didn't use the PSU that came with it, it is in a different case working just fine right now tho. Did you find this review helpful? |
X-Plorer2 The Joker CasePros: I like the style of the case/design. Plenty of room. Cons: Ok..Did anybody at APEVIA really look or test the cables that come out of the power supply to see if they reach the MB connectors?? It's a APEVIA joke...right !!?? Other Thoughts: Here's a tip APEVIA... Next time you feel like pulling a joke on the NewEgg buyers with short power supply cables included. How about getting somebody at APEVIA to actual test the product design. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good cheap case, power supply is insuffent for a mid gaming rigPros: Good for the price i guess. Nice temp prob. 2 fans that are pretty quiet. roomy. front is nice. removable hard drive bays, for longer video cards. The case is engineered quite well. the bay door is magnetic and has a nice feel when opening and closing it, if ur into that kind of stuff. Cons: power supply kinda sucks, expect to buy to an sata power converter for your optical drive and if your 24/20 pin motherboard and 4 pin (no 8 pin connector) processor power supplies are at the *top* of the board which they generally are, expect to buy extentions for them as well. Other Thoughts: best bet is to buy a case and a power supply separately. You end up spending the extra 20 bucks on extension and converter cables for a cheapo power supply, then having good one. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Nice case!Pros: Decent case for the cheaper cost. Even come with a owners manual which some more expensive cases do not. Cons: none Other Thoughts: everything worked as advertised.It even has a temp probe which I used to monitor my video card temp, case come with 2 fans 1 front and 1 rear both work well not much noise.

Wrap-around Porch For a Wonderful Two Story
The gazebo corner of the wrap-around porch on this charming home is a wonderful place to "hang out" and watch the activity out front. I designed the interior of this home with a lot of other great places. A spacious formal living room and dining room are located to the left of the dramatic two story high foyer. A beautiful u-shaped kitchen with a large center island is perfectly located. It is wide open to the breakfast room and a gorgeous vaulted rear family room.

If you're an entrepreneur or run a small business, chances are you've hired a freelancer or considered hiring a freelancer. And for good reason: when you don't need or can't afford an employee, freelance labor gives you access to talented workers who can take care of a specific set of tasks.
But getting the most out of freelance labor is not always easy because freelancers work differently than employees and many entrepreneurs and small businesses don't understand that. To ensure a successful relationship with a freelancer, here are five common mistakes to avoid.

Cavernous Sinus Hemangioma
Cerebellopontine Angle Epidermoid Tumor
Acoustic Neuroma (Vestibular Schwannona)
Malignant Glioma (Anaplastic Astorytoma)
Malignant Glioma (Glioblastoma Multiforme)
Acoustic Neuroma (Vestibular Schwannona)
Pituitary Adenoma
Chondrosarcoma of the Cavernous Sinus
The enlarged white area on the right side of this MRI scan represents a cavernous hemangioma of the cavernous sinus. The cavernous sinus is the most vascular and anatomically difficult area in the brain in which to operate.
Cavernous hemangiomas in this area can grow to large sizes and cause deficits in the cranial nerves resulting in double vision or facial numbness. Tumors in this area, however, can also represent metastatic cancer.
This patient's cavernous hemangioma was completely resected without postoperative deficit.
The dark mass on the right side of this MRI scan is a cerebellopontine angle epidermoid tumor. These are benign tumors but can be invasive and surround many of the cranial nerves in the brainstem.
These pictures demonstrate how much this particular tumor, which is extraordinarily large, has displaced brainstem which controls the patient's heart rate and their ability to breathe.
Few surgeons have been able to completely resect these lesions and although these tumors are benign, frequent recurrence can be a dangerous problem.
This patient's tumor was completely resected and all of her many preoperative neurological deficits returned to normal.
The large white mass on the right side of this MRI scan represents a classic vestibular schwannoma, also referred to as an acoustic neuroma. These are benign tumors of the nerves that control balance and often present with hearing loss.
The major difficulty in removing these tumors is that the nerve that controls facial movement can often be damaged during the surgery leading to an unpleasant cosmetic deformity.
This large vestibular schwannoma was completely resected, however, without any damage to the nerve controlling facial movement.
The dark circular area on the left side of this MRI scan represents the tumor. This tumor was extremely difficult to resect given its proximity to the sensory and motor cortex of the brain.
It is extremely difficult during surgery to differentiate between the swollen brain surrounding such a tumor and the tumor itself. In this area, however, accidental removal of any of the edematous brain around the tumor would leave the patient unable to use their hand or arm.
To ensure safety during this operation, Dr. Sampson performed the surgery with the patient awake and constantly stimulated the brain surrounding the tumor in order to very specifically remove the tumor cells without removing any of the normal brain cells.
This tumor was resected and the patient's neurologic symptoms actually improved after surgery.
The large white ring on the left side of this patient's MRI scan represents a malignant tumor that arose within the brain. These highly malignant tumors never metastasize outside of the brain but are devastating because of their invasive growth within the brain.
This patient was treated with an experimental protocol developed by Dr. Sampson and his colleagues at the Brain Tumor Center that infuses anti-tumor agents directly into the brain tumor, using specialized techniques.
These techniques allow delivery of very high concentrations of anti-tumor agents to the brain, often in excess of 100,000 times the amount that could be delivered by intravenous infusion or other technologies.
Dr. Sampson is a pioneer in the field of intratumoral infusion and has several protocols for delivering novel therapeutic agents using this technique currently open at Duke University.
The large mass on the right side of this patient's MRI scan represents a large vestibular schwannoma.
This patient had an operation at another university hospital using a retromastoid approach which resulted in partial facial weakness and complete hearing loss.
Because the tumor extends upward and this portion was not removed, the patient suffered from terrible facial pain as a result of pressure on the trigeminal nerve.
Because the patient's hearing had already been scarified by the previous surgery, Dr. Sampson elected to perform a resection using the translabyrinthine approach in order to visualize the facial nerve well and minimize the risks of further damaging this already injured facial nerve.
Using this approach this tumor was completely removed and postoperatively the patient's facial nerve was no weaker than it had been previously. However, three months after the surgery, probably because of the complete tumor removal, the patient's facial nerve functioned even better than before surgery.
The large multicolored mass in the lower center portion of this patient's brain represents a pituitary adenoma. These are benign tumors of the pituitary gland which cause symptoms because of abnormal secretion of hormones, but can also cause blindness by pushing upwards on the nerves traveling to the eyes, as in this case.
This patient presented with rapidly decreasing eyesight and this MRI scan demonstrated this massive tumor. This patient was taken to the operating room by Dr. Sampson where he used a special approach to these tumors called the endonasal approach.
This approach leaves no scars at all on the face as the entire surgery is performed through one nostril.
Despite this limited approach this entire tumor was entirely resected at the time of surgery and the patient's visual symptoms returned to normal.
The massive white area on the right side of this MRI scan represents a chondrosarcoma of the cavernous sinus.
The cavernous sinus is the bloodiest and most difficult area in the brain to operate. Most neurosurgeons do not have the training and experience to successfully operate on tumors or other abnormalities in this area.
However, tumors or vascular malformations in the cavernous sinus can grow to large sizes and cause damage to the cranial nerves resulting in blindness, double vision, or facial numbness. Many tumors in this area are benign, however, and can be completely resected by a well-trained and technically skilled neurosurgeon.
This patient's chondrosarcoma was completely removed without permanent neurologic deficits.

Using named pipes to convert SHN to MP3
For whatever reason, the shorten command line program doesn't accept "-" as a valid output file (stdout). This prevents you from piping its output into LAME, and getting a direct conversion from SHN to MP3.
To get around the problem, I've been using named pipes. Here's my shn2mp3 script:
It's worked fine for me, but if anyone out there knows a better, cleaner, safer way to do this, I'd love to hear it.
Using named pipes to convert SHN to MP3
Nice hint - could be really useful, but I can't seem to get shorten to work. Here's the response in my Terminal:
I installed shorten using "fink install shorten". Where did you get your from? Any idea what magic number might be about? Despite the error response, "shorten -h" doesn't give any info about magic numbers. Oh, not surprisingly, the resulting MP3 file is a wash of static. :-(
Using named pipes to convert SHN to MP3
My mistake! I used the commands above for SHD->MP3 conversion, when I meant to use the RM->MP3 conversion. Shorten was complaining because I wasn't feeding it an SHD file! Now, if I can just compile mplayer with the realaudio codecs, I'll have this working....
Using named pipes to convert SHN to MP3
I've spent way too much time in the last 2 days trying to get mplayer to compile for Mac OS X, encouraged by the original example in this thread of being able to convert RealAudio to MP3. (Actually, the version available in Fink compiles fine, but does not support Real codecs. The latest source files fail out of the box with a compilation error since they tries to use a "-rdynamic" option with GCC. Removing that option by hacking the config files gets past compiling, but just causes mplayer to crash later when trying to load Real files.) |

QB too obvious of an answer, so I'm going with SLB. Based on my assumptions, MLB and WLB have starters in Avery Williamson and Khalid Henderson, respectively. Who will win the SLB spot? I want Josh Forrest to step up, but Miles Simpson appears to be making a nice push (for the record, I've never been a fan of Miles as a player. Just never saw SEC starter in him. JMO) Am I forgetting anyone in the battle?
ShockeyFork said...
Yeah, you left out the guy who has been running more with the 1's this Spring than the two you named: Kory Brown.
I agree with all the positions mentioned so far.....C, CB, RB, QB, SLB. Guess what? There are even more. To me, there are so many position battles going on that it reminds me of the old Lay's potato chip commercial......betcha can't eat just one.

Has D. Blaylock been moved to SLB recently? Everything I've gotten out of the Spring Practice reports points to D. Blaylock running with the 1's at Safety, along with Lowery.
K. Brown has been practicing at SLB (Simpson as well). That was the position battle TheMayor was discussing in his post.
Maybe you're saying you feel that D. Blaylock should be moved to SLB? Not really sure from your abbreviated post though. Can you elaborate?

Newtown, and a Thousand Losses, One Year Later
Last year on December 14, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, twenty first-graders and six educators were killed by Adam Lanza, who then shot himself. This Saturday marks one year.
Most of these wounds are still open. Even where the gaping gash is closed, the surrounding flesh is so tender that the slightest bump brings tears. And in this, these empty arms represent millions.
For many of us, the wounds stay tender to the end of life. My mother's death 39 years ago this week can easily bring tears to my eyes. The wound is healed. I don't look at the scar very often. But the flesh is tender, and the right touch presses sweet tears from the eyes.
Mark Your Calendar
Here is a simple exhortation for all of us who know someone with fresh wounds of loss or with such half-healed scars. Mark your calendar for…

Dump lines may get long
The Olympic Transfer Station in Bremerton is getting some needed upgrades, which could result in longer than usual lines from January 17 through January 21, according to the Kitsap County Department of Public Works.
Construction and network projects to replace aging equipment and upgrade the computer operating system are scheduled during this period, and are expected to slow down service. Customers who an a hurry may want to use another local facility or arrive early in the morning, according to Education and Communications Coordinator Vicki Bushnell.
On January 17 construction may interrupt normal weighing operations. On January 18 and January 19 scales will be fully operational but no swipe card service will be available.
The upgrades will be installed on January 20 and January 21, but there may be some bugs in the system that will need to be resolved at that time.
Bushnell asked that customers' patience will be appreciated during this time, as employees learn the new system.
The Olympic Station is the only Kitsap County waste facility that is open every day, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For more information call (360)337-7555 or go to www.kitsapgov.com/sw.

redirect user login
I have been using this to redirect a user the their profile page, but now I want to redirect them to a specific page on their blog:
`//=Redirect to User's Profile Page after Login
function rt_login_redirect($redirect_to, $set_for, $user){
$redirect_to = bp_loggedin_user_domain($user->id);
return $redirect_to;
add_filter('login_redirect', 'rt_login_redirect', 20, 3);

BBC Releases Poster For DOCTOR WHO Christmas!!

While I always look forward to the Christmas Who specials, I am doubly looking forward to this years as we get our first glance of the chemistry between the Doctor and his newest companion.
Nov. 26, 2012, 8:09 p.m. CST
Hoping this is the start of better times for the show ... No more Ponds, big year ahead ... Come on Moff, prove me wrong!
by GINGE_MUPPET
...soon...enough! I look forward to watching the Christmas special every year with my kids. New traditions and all that. And I can't wait to see more of Ms. Coleman. And you may make whatever innuendo out of that you wish. ??Pseudo?? Out.
This doesn't look like Jenna at all!
I still say easily the worst Christmas episode so far in the "reboot" era.
.... would have been a great tagline, but that one is taken. I, too, was disappointed by last year's special. The prior year's special was great: it ranks among my wife's and my all time favorite holiday specials for anything, period. (I now must watch that, The Grinch, Charlie Brown XMas & Rudolf every year, or it's just not Zagmuk.)
Funny you bring that up...woulda been an excellent time to bring them back...

Wow, so no news article about SHERLOCK series 3 production being pushed back from Jan2013 to March, thus making it very likely we'll see no new episodes before 2014?

Doesn't bode well for ever seeing season 4. Too bad. I guess we still have 'Elementary'. And those pathetic RDJ movies.
just reboot the homes movies with him in the lead somehow

Cant wait! And to the dude above me...there are no awful episodes of Doctor Who.
by paul cook
And I love Doctor Who, but that one was... bad. I'll fall from space and land on my helmet! WTF.
The toothy grin seals the deal for me. If RTD was still in charge, they'd look like regular boring snowmen.
Victorian era, allowing some dress-up and cleavage? Check Ladder extending from the airborne TARDIS, signaling an impossible escape of some kind? Check. Evil looking snowmen (yes roysten, they do resemble Frank from DD)? Check. Depressed/despondant doctor finding a new reason to go on? Check. Sounds like Christmas to me. Wouldn't miss it.

theseeker7 - BBC still says Sherlock Season 3 will show in 2013
by DoctorTom
They just won't say how late in 2013. Want to place bets now that the night of Doctor Who's 50th anniversary in November 2013 we get a Sherlock episode? (Hopefully in addition to and not instead of a Doctor Who special)
Sorry, that's the vibe I'm getting from the second picture. Maybe they'll work better in motion than in the still picture. It makes sense to set this one in the Victorian times. Set it in modern day, the threat would be taken care of by one member of UNIT with a flamethrower. Or by Mickey with a souped up leaf blower. (Didn't Jeremy Clarkson show us one of those once powered by a V8 engine?)

doctorwhorules - yes there are awful episodes of Doctor Who
by DoctorTom
Timelash The Twin Dilemma \ Time and the Rani The Doctor, the Witch and the Wardrobe Fear Her Slipback (yes, it counts despite being a radio adventure - it's an official story put out during the hiatus between Seasons 22 and 23, and proves that Eric Saward can't pull off imitating Douglas Adams) You might find one or two nuggets in these that aren't awful, but the stories as a whole were pretty dire. Especially dire if you compare them against the greats like City of Death, Genesis of the Daleks, The Caves of Androzani, Blink, Midnight or The Doctor's Wife

Just tell me when Matt transforms into the next Doctor
by FrodoFraggins
...has easily been the least watchable, unenjoyable series of new Who for me. Compressed storytelling, broad strokes over subtle emotional beats, and an absolutely wasted and (to use a Brit term) rubbish resolution to Amy and Rory. They should have been left well-enough alone when the Doctor dropped them off at their home late in an episode last season. I really like Matt Smith as the character, but he is being poorly served.
More evidence of Matt being the return of the 2nd Doctor..
I have seen Dr. Who twice. Once, they were attacked by plastic. The second time, these aliens took over the government and were farting a lot. Now, I see murderous snowmen. Why does this show have the following that it does? Can someone explain to me how this isn't one of the shittiest shows ever made? It's a program for children.
I wouldn't call last year's XMas special "bad" per se. That is, there was nothing about it that was done poorly per se. It simply was not good, either: the story was unspectacular, the plot was unspectacular, etc. Indeed, it might be better than I credit it: but the prior XMas special was so good (we've already watched it twice since Thanksgiving!) that Widow might just be the nice looking girl next to the bombshell. (For some of you hardcores, "girls" are half of humanity: for example, the companions are not just clean-shaven boys with prosthetics on their chests.)
The tv show has been on for 50 years. If you can't see the quality of the show, I feel no desire to "explain" the show. You either have taste or you don't.
Yeah, I think Moffat's hit the wall, creatively.
Now I can *definitely* see how a show based partly on fart jokes is worth my time!

So, you watched two episodes of Doctor Who and you think you know it all
by HornOrSilk
I guess you saw Jar Jar in Star Wars and think "Why do people like Empire Strikes Back"? Right? Seriously, what a troll-like comment.
Why do people think something is off with the idea? I mean, the first Christmas special we had.... attack of the Christmas Tree.. so why not Snowmen? The point of the Christmas special is different from the norm... so let it have fun and enjoy the season as well...
Nov. 28, 2012, 12:05 p.m. CST
Now, if Matt Smith was wearing a fireman's helmet, that would be a perfect Harlequin romance novel cover.
by Bill C.
Okay, and JLC would need to be flashing some cleavage, but still.
Take it easy. It's just a kiddie show.
They're getting a little much... The design work isn't too great -- at all. This whole hype-it-up-like-it's-a-movie thing of Moffat is also getting old quick... I dunno, guys. Love Moffat. Love Smith. Love the show right now. But, at the same time, I'm getting a little annoyed by this Moffat cleverness. Hopeful about the new companion and possibilities... And, I also hope that next series, they drop this no two-part episode rule crap. Love the longer stories.
did you see the latest news that JLC wasn't supposed to play Oswin in the Asylum episode at all?

Are these posters ever actually printed, or are they merely for Internet consumption?
by Royston Lodge
Seriously, do they actually post Doctor Who posters around Britain to promote upcoming episodes?
I think it's misdirection done on purpose. That is, I think she was told to say that, to help keep the mystery of her character alive.
Look on Amazon. Here's an example: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009QMYLIU/ref=s9_simh_se_p79_d0_i4?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=auto-no-results-center-1&pf_rd_r=ADFEDBB37A574E6F8F7F&pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_p=1263465782&pf_rd_i=doctor%20who%20poster%20dinasours%20spaceship

NAMPA ŌĆö There was some fabulous wrestling on display over the three day Idaho State Championship wrestling tournament held at the Idaho Center in Nampa. At the end of the tournament, Bingham County came home with a bucket full of medals, 28 to be exact, two of those the gold variety as Skylerr Valentine of Snake River and Chase Call of Shelley each stood atop the podium for their respective weight classes and classifications.
POCATELLO - Recent history pointed to a tough game for the Snake River Panthers as they prepared to take on the Bear Lake Bears Thursday night in an elimination game of the District 5 3A tournament. After all, Bear Lake had dominated the Panthers and the other teams in the fifth district all season, but that is why they play the games this time of year.
RIGBY ŌĆö The Shelley Russets inaugural season in the 4A High Country Conference came to an end on Thursday night as the Rigby Trojans raced past the Russets for a 78-58 victory. "We started the game well but even then you just didn't sense that spirit which is understandable because of the heartbreaker that we suffered on Tuesday," Shelley head coach Dave Hadley said. "We just didn't realize the urgency and once Rigby got a little lead they were able to get real aggressive and then you could just sense us tensing up."
ST. ANTHONY ŌĆö With three minutes remaining in the 2A Nuclear Conference boys basketball championship game, Butte County emptied their bench in a sign of defeat. Moments later the four time defending champion Firth Cougars did the same and after a few scruffy moments, the buzzer sounded on a 56-29 Cougar victory as Firth celebrated their fifth straight district title.
POCATELLO - It is often said that offense is for the highlight reels and defense wins games. The Snake River Panthers turned on the defense Tuesday night as they completely dominated the American Falls Beavers in District 5 basketball tournament action 57-38.
REXBURG ŌĆö The Shelley Russets held a 9-point lead heading to the tail end of the third quarter at Madison High School on Tuesday night. Call it the Madison mystique or the Hawkins magic, whatever the case was, Shelley got caught up in a late wave of a Madison run and when that wave came crashing down, Madison had prevailed in the High Country Conference title game by the final tally of 63-54.
SHELLEY ŌĆō A short time ago, Bryan HuntsmanŌĆÖs old wrestling coach, Alan Gardner, came to HuntsmanŌĆÖs office and handed him an envelope. In that envelope was a letter of congratulations for HuntsmanŌĆÖs selection for induction into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, Idaho Chapter. ŌĆ£Honestly, my first thoughts were, ŌĆśIŌĆÖm not deserving of this,ŌĆÖŌĆØ Huntsman said. HuntsmanŌĆÖs induction into the Hall, scheduled in May, is as an outstanding American who was a wrestler at some time in his career.
POCATELLO ŌĆö Who says that the fifth district doesn't call fouls? On Friday night, the officials blew the whistle 48 times, 30 of those against Snake River, as the Panthers fell to Marsh Valley 53-45 in the first round of the 3A fifth district tournament. "It was one of those nights," Snake River head coach Bob Coombs said. "We still had our chance which is all that you can ask for." Marsh Valley took advantage of the whistles, knocking down 31 of 40 free throw attempts while Snake River were only able to connect on 13 of the 20 charity tosses that they received.
