Joined a crossfit gym back in April. Go 2 times a week - but not consistently.
After more intense arm workouts, my arms swell considerably, from 4 inches above the wrist to 2 inches below my shoulders - both arms.
No pain. Just tenderness?most likely from the workout, not the swelling. At first, I can not bend my arms all the way up - only half way. As swelling disappears, I can then bend my arms like normal.
This has occurred twice now. Saw a general physician today - her only diagnosis - maybe you're just building muscle.
The 1st occurrence - swelling lasted 4 - 5 days. 2nd occurrence - swelling is still present - going on 1.5 weeks.
I was told to see an Orthopaedic physician - however, I am not having any pain, just swelling.
Any ideas ? thx.
Take care, Rich
If your problem is due to exercise induced compartment syndrome then it will resolve with rest but return with exercise. You will also notice that your grip becomes weaker as the swelling increases.
Hope this helps.
It is discovered through a blood test for muscle enzymes (cpk) caused when the muscle membranes are overstressed and release myoglobin into the blood stream. This can cause kidney failure in some cases if not treated. If your urine is tea colored, head to the emergency room. You will need to have an IV to lower the enzyme levels in the blood stream.
There is quite a bit of info on the crossfit and livestrong sites regarding this issue. My doctor was not familiar with it and went through the roof when I asked her to check and my cpk level was twenty times higher than the normal acceptable level. No joke. The ER doctors were at least familiar with it and knew what to do.
Still going through the treatment and have been restricted to no exercise at all for at least another week til the levels are normal. Not even a walk. Hope this helps someone. I never heard of it before.
To answer your questions, I figured out I had it within four days of the injury via my web search but did not have it confirmed until a week after the date of the injury. I had the necessary blood work done that day but did not get results until three days later. At that point, I had my doctor's attention and everything moved pretty quick.
I did not have to be hospitalized although I did get a trip to the emergency room for an IV when my cpk (muscle enzyme) levels continued to climb after a week. I did not have any kidney issues which was good and I found that while my levels were high, they were nothing compared to some that the sports medicine doctor I eventually saw for treatment had seen in the past. My highest read was 6100. It's supposed to be between 0-308. She has treated patients with levels between 50 to 100k.
As for treatment, it has been fluid and rest. No arm exercises for eight weeks. I just started back two weeks ago and what I can do is pretty lame. Sets of 3-5 pushups and curls with 2.5 pounds of weight. The doctor I saw was a sports medicine specialist and said it would take six months for a full recovery. There is no set plan and no real test group in my age bracket to go off of as it usually happens to people much younger. I was told to just start slow with the affected muscle group and work up. It's very frustrating.
Two months later, I still have issues with arm fatigue and cramping caused by compartmentalization. I'm not sure what the long term recovery will be but will follow up with my physician in a month if I don't start seeing significant improvement in the fatigue/pain areas. Hope that helps.

Credit Suisse extends its lead in terms of European hedge fund assets, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are neck and neck again in terms of mandates, but the chasing pack are closing the gap further on the top five players
After losing its place at the top of the rankings for the first time during the financial crisis, Morgan Stanley has now closed the gap again on Goldman Sachs to leave the two firms neck and neck as the leading prime brokers in European hedge funds by numbers of mandates, as well as leaving Morgan Stanley narrowly ahead of Goldman again by assets.
But Credit Suisse, which was the biggest beneficiary of the changing prime brokerage marketplace during the crisis and which emerged as the market leader overall by assets for the first time last year, has substantially extended its lead at the top of the table by assets again as at the end of 2010.
Deutsche Bank had been the other main beneficiary of the wave of hedge fund firms in Europe that were switching prime brokers during the crisis and was the only other firm apart from Credit...

If the playoffs started today, the Dallas Mavericks would be the No. 4 seed and hosting a playoff series. This seems almost improbable when you think back at how this season started for Rick Carlisle's team losing three in a row and four out of five. Now sitting at 21-13 and a roster that's finally getting healthy, the defending champions are finally rounding into form.
However, with the losses of Tyson Chandler and DeShawn Stevenson and the additions of Vince Carter and Lamar Odom, one has to ask if this team is properly built to make another title run. Many have speculated that Dallas is using 2012 as a holding pattern year, and with the free cap space they'll receive at the end of the season, they'll be able to bring in one or two marquee free agents.
But that's looking ahead, as the Mavs can only focus on the right now. Some have speculated that Rodrigue Beaubois is available, but the Mavs don't seem eager to move him. Are there any alternatives for the Mavs, or is this the best Mark Cuban's team will have to offer going into the backstretch of the season?
Here are the complete Western conference standings going into the second half of the season.

Soon after learning to dive in Southern California, I was invited along on a night dive dubbed "the squid run". I followed along, not knowing what to expect. That night dive marked my introduction to swarming squids en masse and opened my eyes to something completely unexpected. Later, when I looked up the California market squid (Loligo opalescens), I learned that they belong to a much larger family of marine mollusks, described as Cephalopod — meaning head-foot. In fact, the Cephalopod family is a fairly organized class of marine animals that include octopus, squids, cuttlefish and nautiluses. With the exception of nautiluses, other cephalopods can be seen on virtually every dive or dive site in the Indo-Pacific, making them a very sought after and photographed subject. Certain species like the flamboyant cuttlefish are considered a Holy Grail find by photographers and can create quite a stir whenever found on a dive site.
Both squid and cuttlefish can be found on the same sites as they tend to share the same habitat and feed on similar creatures. Crabs, shrimp, fish and even other squid and cuttlefish make up the diet of these active carnivores.
Squid and cuttlefish are somewhat similar as they both move rapidly through the water column by compressing water through a siphon tube much like a hydro jet. They both have arms, ink sacs and suckers. Both exhibit a high degree of curiosity and intelligence, and they learn quickly and hunt cooperatively.
Cuttlefish and squid also have several unique and defining features that sets them apart from each other. The first and most prominent difference is an internal structure called a cuttlebone found on the inside of the cuttlefish, a porous calcium carbonate mineral similar to coral; the squid has an internal plastic like substance that supports the mantle.
All cephalopod cuttlefish and squid have very poor blood circulation, and therefore need more than one heart — three to be exact. There are two brachial hearts located behind each set of gill plates dedicated to pump oxygen into the blood during the gas exchange. The third heart is used to circulate the blood through the rest of the body, and even though all three hearts pump at the same time, they must rest often or risk cardiac arrest. History shows (or theorizes) that cephalopods have evolved from a fossil count of over 10,000 individual creatures to approximately 600 that exist today. Natural selection has a way of weeding out those that cannot adapt, leaving us with a more sophisticated class of cephalopods that is highly adaptive, intelligent and tactile.
Mike Bartick was born and raised in Southern California, not far from the ocean in Huntington Beach. After finding his first nudibranch on an Open Water checkout dive, he was immediately hooked on diving. Bartick, who splits his time between the Indo-Pacific and the Eastern Pacific as a freelance photographer, photojournalist and field guide, shoots with a Nikon D300 and D300s, Sea and Sea housings, and YS-D1 and YS 250 pro strobes.

Detroit City Council rejects 30-year lease of Belle Isle, proposes 10-year deal insteadBy Associated Press
Related links
The Detroit City Council has unanimously rejected a plan to lease the 985-acre Belle Isle park to the state for 30 years, proposing a 10-year deal instead. The 30-year lease that Gov. Rick Snyder and Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr signed Oct. 1 would make Belle Isle a state park, saving Detroit $6 million annually in maintenance. After rejecting the deal Monday, the council voted 4-2 for a 10-year lease. Councilman James Tate said there is no perfect agreement, "but I do think we've gotten a lot closer." "You can't say no without a viable alternative," Tate said. "I believe that's what this body has put together." It was unclear whether Snyder and Orr will accept the counter-proposal, but an Orr spokesman said Monday that the emergency manager still backed the original deal. Orr said earlier that he would implement the lease as signed unless the council came up with a plan that made equivalent cost savings. "Orr believes the current lease agreement ... provides the best framework in which to ensure that Belle Isle regains its luster as one of the city of Detroit's crown jewels," Bill Nowling said in an email to The Associated Press. Orr has asked a federal judge to place Detroit under bankruptcy protection, saying it cannot meet $18 billion or more in long-term debt that includes underfunded obligations of about $3.5 billion for pensions and $5.7 billion for retiree health coverage. Under the Snyder-Orr deal, Michigan would invest $10 million to $20 million over three years. An annual $11 per-vehicle admission charge would apply, as at other state parks. Snyder withdrew a similar offer earlier this year following council opposition. City Council President Saunteel Jenkins said the council's proposed lease has "more definitive plans," including provisions to ensure Michigan keeps promises to upgrade the park. "We know they can fund improvements on the park. But the question is, will they fund the improvements on the park?" Jenkins said Monday. "We want the lease to be written to fund improvements on the park or be able to terminate the lease." Council members Brenda Jones and JoAnn Watson voted against the lease and the counter-proposal as well. "The council should not be pushed into approving a lease," Watson said. "There's nothing wrong with the city operating its own asset. Belle Isle is a significant treasure. It's a treasure we can manage better, and we have the capacity to do that.

hey there this is the first boy that im having,i already have 2 girls i am 22 weeks and 6 days so exsited
Congrats!! You must be thrilled! How old are your little girls? Boys are so much fun - I have two of them now and they are such a joy. Congrats again. :-) Any names?
CONGRATS! That is great news! How old are your girls? Do they know about their baby brother? Dad must just be beside himself. :) I remember when working in the NICU a few years ago I was taking care of triplets-2 girls and a boy. Dad came in, in the morning with a blue baseball one-sie-and he was just beaming ear to ear. He shared with me that they already had two girls at home. He said that he had been living in the land of pink for the last 5 years and he finally had his boy! Can you imagine the amount of pink, ponies, barbies and dolls in a house with now 4 girls?! I've always smiled when recalling that morning. What are you most excited about, about having a baby boy? How are you feeling?
So glad you shared with us, keep us posted on how things are going for you and family.
Ohh congratulations! Little boys are so amazing and cute! You will just fall in love instantly and so will your girls! Congratulations and good luck!

I would like to know who thought it was a good idea to remove "import data..." and "export data..." from this particular flavor of the worst front end to an otherwise badass rdbms. I shouldn't have to fight with a program to get my databases in order. What a joke.
I recently ran into a neat little nugget of functionality in C# with events. Normally in C# when we define events we stop at something like this:
public event EventHandler<MyEventArgs> MyEvent;
The thing is, you can explicitly implement the add and remove accessors if you throw some curly braces into the mix. Why does this matter? Imagine that you have a MainForm, and a usercontrol named ControlPanel. ControlPanel contains another usercontrol called hiddenControl that exposes an event that you want to handle in MainForm, but all MainForm has access to is ControlPanel...
public event EventHandler<MyEventArgs> MyEvent{ add{ this.hiddenControl.MyEvent += value; } remove{ this.hiddenControl.MyEvent -= value; } }
Now you can subscribe to the event in MainForm without making the usercontrol member public in ControlPanel.

I read this excellent post from ScottGu and decided to use it with a page that implemented a masterpage. I didn't have to use postbacks in my scenario, but there were links included from the masterpage. The problem is that if you use app-relative paths for your href attributes (ex: ) the browser (FF 126.96.36.199 and IE 7 anyways) interperets the url with pathinfo differently than a url without. The base url includes the original page (ex: http://localhost:3333/rewriter.aspx/default.aspx). Guess what? The webserver picks up the last .aspx extension, default.aspx, that bad boy doesn't exist, and you get a 404 instead of going to http://localhost:3333/default.aspx.
In the comments, Ian Oxley suggested that you can re-base links in your page/css/other static files using the <base> element in the head of your page. I expanded on it a little, since this behavior is only on one page of my site currently, and added the following code into the Page_Load event of the offending page:
this.Header.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<base href=\"" + Request.Url.ToString().Replace(Request.RawUrl, "").Replace(Request.PathInfo, "") + "\">"));
Now the base tag works on both the live site and the one that WebDev.WebServer spins up as well.
[ Currently Playing : Them Bones - Alice in Chains - Nothing Safe: Best of the Box (2:29) ]
So I've been able to dig my teeth into some asp.net hacking recently, and I've been wrestling with learning to use SubSonic in the process.
In dealing with the scaffold control I ran into a funny issue: none of the exposed properties on the scaffold control will output any style info of the GridView that the control uses (that I could figure out anyways). I ended up with black text on a black background. :/ Seeing as I have the source, I decided to give the scaffold control's GridView a little class...hello GridViewCssClass property! I set it up just like the EditTable*CssClass properties, just a string property, with similar attributes to the other properties hanging around there:
[Bindable(true)] [Category("Display")] [Description("Sets the CSS class used by the gridview.")] [DefaultValue(ScaffoldCSS.WRAPPER)] //CDF: just to have something to start with. public string GridViewCssClass { get { return _gridViewCssClass; } set { _gridViewCssClass = value; } }
Then, in the CreateGrid method make it actually do something:
private void CreateGrid() { Label lblTitle = new Label(); surroundingPanel.Controls.Add(lblTitle); lblTitle.Text = "
" + schema.Name + " Admin
"; grid.ID = "grid"; grid.CssClass = this.GridViewCssClass; surroundingPanel.Controls.Add(grid); if (!Page.IsPostBack) { BindGrid(String.Empty); } //add a column to the grid for editing }
And now I can declaratively set the CssClass that the GridView uses to, oh, say, .whitetext :)

[Via It's my life... And I live it...]
Well, this post has been a long time coming. What about PostXING? What indeed? Well, unfortunately for the 1.5 users of PostXING, I had my son Ethan for 6 weeks this summer and spending time with him is waaay more important than hacking on a tool that is basically useful only to a handful of people.
Then there's the issue of competition: I have always recommended BlogJet for people that wanted a good solid blog posting tool that is way more polished than PostXING (and indeed Windows Live Writer) and whose project lead is a really nice, engaging dude. Heck, Dmitry even gave me pointers on how to work with mshtml as I was writing code that competes with his (guess he wasn't too worried about "competition" from PostXING. heh.) And of course the new hip kid on the block Windows Live Writer...what can I say? Even Tomer, who was gracious enough to help me out on developing PostXING, agrees: Windows Live Writer kicks ass. The fact that it's free doesn't help the situation.
At this point I'm not 100% sure what I want to do with PostXING. I had been looking into yet another mshtml wrapper that supposedly handles focus better than the code I have, but my experience so far with mshtml is that it's a focus stealing *** child of wysiwyg editing. The good news: you can actually use a widget that gives you wysiwyg editing without having to install a browser plugin (I'm looking at you, Mono!) The bad news: didn't you read that *** child statement earlier? Geez.
Tentatively what will happen is I will continue to quietly hack on PostXING in order to at least bring it out of beta. But I'm definitely going to be taking my time on it...I am in no hurry at all.
Exactly what I was looking for...I don't know a lot about reflection, so I wonder if there is a more elegant way to get this info.
There are a few things that have to happen for this "regression" to show up. First, you have to be working in .net 2.0 WinForms. Second, you must be using a custom application context. Third and most importantly, you must have at least one form open in your application that handles its closing event and sets CancelEventArgs.Cancel = true.
What's the behavior? While operating under a custom ApplicationContext, what would be my Main form is closed by the user. Since the application context is not associated with that form, I decide to call "Application.Exit()" in an override of OnClosing. My Main form closes, but any hidden forms stick around, thus leaving the application running until you open up task manager (or something similar) and manually kill the process.
Why does it happen? WinForms 2.0 introduced an overload to Application.Exit that accepts a CancelEventArgs parameter. This is what is called by Application.Exit(). If even one of your open forms doesn't think it needs to close itself for whatever reason and sets its CancelEventArgs to true, Application.Exit stops processing and returns control to the application.
Why did I call it a "regression"? This behavior has changed between .net 1.1 and 2.0. In 1.1, if I call Application.Exit, by golly the application exits! I understand the reasoning behind the change. I just wish that there was some indication to it other than Reflector. A comment for intellisense perhaps? Something.
Will it matter to most WinForm projects? Probably not. If you use the default application context (by calling Application.Run(new MainForm()), which is what VS.NET spits out for you from the template) you do not have the same problem. Closing the main form exits the application as expected. If you're using a custom ApplicationContext, tho, watch out.
Close enough. This should be fun.

I was 8 when my mom was pregnant with my brother and bought him this antique dresser. I promptly informed her that a baby would not be able to appreciate this fine dresser and claimed it as my own.
My love affair with antiques actually began long before age 8, when I would wander through my grandparent's house, trying to commit its entire contents to my memory.
However, this did mark the start of my claiming my mother's things as my own, and she was helpless to stop it. She's even more helpless to stop Ellis from "shopping" in her fridge, laughing as Ellis pulls out leftovers and dropping it into a bag and saying in her sing-song voice, We need this. Aaaand we need this. Aaaand we need this.
I love this dresser as much today as I did at age 8. It held my first pair of white Guess jeans with the little zippers up the back. My bff Jerusalem and I used it to mix a batch of chocolate chip cookies late one night because we didn't want to wake up my family by using the kitchen.
The marks of a penny, a hairclip, and a scissors are burned into the surface from carelessly leaving them underneath whatever decorative cloth I had draped over its top.
And now the dresser is in Ellis' room, and even though I tell myself it's still my dresser, I am totally prepared for the day when she claims it as her own. I will outwardly protest and tell her that just because it's in her room, that does not make it hers. And on the inside, I'll be thinking, this is just how it should be.
I wonder what sort of memories Ellis will have of her dresser 25 years from now, what fashions it will hold, what marks will be left behind.
She may not remember how she used to "lock" her dresser pulls by flipping them up (to keep the cat out, of course), but I will.

Only 37% of the UK public support the war in Afghanistan, according to research published today, eight years after it began. Despite the government's attempts to increase support for the war, it is opposed by 56% of the population.
There are some politicians who, if given a choice between attacking powerful people and attacking vulnerable people, find it much easier to choose the latter.
The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has been criticised for avoiding the issue of Trident in his speech to the Labour Party conference yesterday, despite the increasingly vocal opposition to its renewal.
Leading members of the Church of England share the concern of five Anglican bishops about the impact of government economic and social policies on the most vulnerable, a new Sunday newspaper survey claims.
Business Secretary John Hutton's ringing endorsement of coal as a source of energy at the Labour conference makes a public enquiry into plans to build a new coal fired power station at Kingsnorth essential, says Christian Aid.
The President and Vice-President of the British Methodist Conference will be attending the three main party political conferences this autumn and will be pushing a message of social justice in the UK and globally.
PM Gordon Brown has launched a new consultation involving the Labour Party, churches and faith communities. It will focus on identifying the values held in common by different faiths and beliefs - ones that also echo with the non-religious.
A Catholic bishop in Scotland yesterday made a political intervention ahead of elections in May, by denouncing the Labour establishment in Holyrood and Westminster for creating "morality devoid of any Christian principle".

text: Cover picture: The nucleocytoplasmic transport is exclusively controlled via the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) that perforate and span the nuclear envelope. Despite the high throughput of ∼1000 translocations per NPC per s, the NPC strictly controls the passage of cargos, putatively via its natively unfolded domains of phenylalanine-glycine repeats. The mechanisms governing nucleocytoplasmic transport are not well understood, mainly due to the highly dynamic nature and functional redundancy of phenylalanine-glycine-repeat domains. These factors and the complex architecture of the NPC have made it too difficult to investigate the transport mechanisms within the confined geometry of the tiny pore in vivo. Moussavi-Baygi et al. have developed a coarse-grained biophysical model of the NPC to shed light on the nature of nucleocytoplasmic transport through this supramolecular complex. See the article by Moussavi-Baygi et al. on page 1410.

Slowly, as Student Debt Rises, Colleges Confront Costs
In a wood-paneled office lined with books, sports memorabilia and framed posters (including John Belushi in "Animal House"), E. Gordon Gee, the president of Ohio State University, keeps a framed quotation that reads, "If you don't like change, you're going to like irrelevance even less."
Mr. Gee, who is often identified with a big salary and spendthrift ways, says he has taken the quotation to heart, and he is now trying to persuade Ohio State's vast bureaucracy, and the broader world of academia, to do the same.
At a time of diminished state funding for higher education and uncertain federal dollars, Mr. Gee says that public colleges and universities need to devise a new business model to pay for the costs of education, beyond sticking students with higher tuition and greater debt.
"The notion that universities can do business the very same way has to stop," said Mr. Gee, who is also the chairman of a commission studying college attainment, including the impact of student debt.
College presidents across the country are confronting the same realization, trying to manage their institutions with fewer state dollars without sacrificing quality or all-important academic rankings. Tuition increases had been a relatively easy fix but now — with the balance of student debt topping $1 trillion and an increasing number of borrowers struggling to pay — some administrators acknowledge that they cannot keep putting the financial onus on students and their families.
"Tuition levels are at a tipping point.""
Increasingly, they are looking for other ways to pay for education, stepping up private fund-raising, privatizing services, cutting staff, eliminating departments — even saving millions of dollars by standardizing things like expense forms.
And Wall Street is watching.
Moody's Investors Service, in a report earlier this year, said it had a favorable outlook for the nation's most elite private colleges and large state institutions, those with the "strongest market positions" that had multiple ways to generate revenue. Ohio State, for instance, received a stable outlook from Moody's last fall, though the report cautioned about the school's debt and reliance on its medical center for revenue.
But Moody's issued a negative outlook for a majority of colleges and universities heavily dependent on tuition and state revenue.
"Tuition levels are at a tipping point," Moody's wrote, adding later, "We anticipate an ongoing bifurcation of student demand favoring the highest quality and most affordable higher education options."
Colleges can be top-heavy with administrators and woefully inefficient, some critics say, and some have only recently taken a harder look at ways to streamline their operations.
"Schools are very good at adding new things, new programs," said Sherideen S. Stoll, vice president for finance and administration at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. "We are not so good at looking at things we have been doing for 20 or 30 years and saying, 'Should we be offering those academic programs?' "
""We know the model is not sustainable. Schools are going to have to show the value proposition."
At Bowling Green, 62 percent of graduates have debt that averages $31,515, the highest among Ohio public universities that publish the data. In addition to raising tuition, which has been limited by state-mandated caps, the university has laid off employees, encouraged early retirements, required unpaid furloughs and limited pay increases, Ms. Stoll said. The belt-tightening hasn't yet reached the point that academic quality has suffered, she said, but Bowling Green may not be able to offer as much in the future.
"We've done everything and anything to try to operate much more efficiently," she said.
The problems aren't confined to public colleges. Administrators at some nonprofit private institutions said they too had come to realize they could not keep raising tuition and fees. Families have become more price-sensitive since the economic collapse and are seeking deeper discounts on the sticker price.
"We know the model is not sustainable," said Lawrence T. Lesick, vice president for enrollment management at Ohio Northern University. "Schools are going to have to show the value proposition. Those that don't aren't going to be around."
There is a dispute about why college costs have risen so much. Before the economic crisis, some critics argue, both public and private colleges participated in a costly "arms race" to provide better amenities to lure the best students and faculty: new dormitories with one student to a room, frequent sabbaticals for professors, upscale cafeteria food, expanded counseling services and gymnasiums that rival the fanciest health clubs in Manhattan.
Others say education is intrinsically expensive. Health care costs, for instance, have taken a toll, since colleges are labor-intensive. And the expense of keeping up with technology, like wireless Internet and new computers, is high. Here at Ohio State, where tuition has increased by nearly 60 percent since 2002, there is a gleaming new student union, climbing walls that can accommodate 50 students at a time and $2 billion in construction projects under way.
Mr. Gee's compensation package this year, moreover, is worth about $2 million, and The Chronicle of Higher Education has called him the highest-paid public university president. The Dayton Daily News recently reported that Mr. Gee had billed Ohio State for $550,000 in travel in the last two years.
The travel expenses prompted some to question if Mr. Gee practices what he preaches.
"He's very capable. He's a very smart guy, and he's engaging and all these things," said Dale Butland, a spokesman for Innovation Ohio, a nonprofit policy research group. But he added, "Students and their parents who are struggling, not just with coming up with the money, but paying off the debt, I think there is a disconnect between what they are being asked to do and what they are seeing the leader of the university doing."
Mr. Gee maintains that Ohio State is getting its money's worth. On his watch, Ohio State has become a more prestigious university, he says, while remaining a relative bargain, even with fewer resources from the state. It now receives just 7 percent of its budget from the state.
Ohio State costs about $25,000 a year for in-state residents who live on campus. The average debt for graduates who borrow is $24,480.

Question of the Day
When Is It OK to Pee in a Jar?
Sure, Glenn Beck can pee in jars and sell the pee on the internet for thousands of dollars. But what about regular folks, folks who don't have media empires? When is it OK for them to whizz in a jar?

The Council of Experts (COE) convenes at critical junctures to provide OneVoice with strategic guidance. In 2004, the COE gathered to define and develop a set of 10 questions relating to issues at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, building upon existing agreements and proposals (e.g. the Roadmap, Camp David II, Taba, Oslo, etc.). The questions were then shared with hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and Israelis, providing them with an opportunity to participate in a Citizen Negotiations process. Participants voted on the questions using a weighted voting mechanism that included an iterative negotiation process moderated by the COE. The goal of this specific process was two-fold: 1) to highlight areas of consensus and discord between Palestinians and Israelis, and 2) to teach citizens the art and value of compromise while helping to transfer ownership of the resolution process to them.
The Council of Experts is comprised of leading scholars, policy specialists, and thought leaders in matters of Middle Eastern studies, geopolitics, international security, evaluation and measurement analysis, international economics, and arbitration. The Council is also responsible for ensuring the scientific validity and fairness of the OneVoice methodology.

This is perhaps not the most politically correct science fair project, but it definitely gets attention. And although it is more based on presentation than science, most people find it very interesting to learn how an electric chair works. :D
This instructable is quite lengthy, though some parts are optional. You'll probably want to scan each section to find what you're looking for. Have fun and happy building!
Also, please note that I will be linking to Amazon.com for the materials used within this project.
Step 1: First you'll need to find a Barbie with bendable arms and legs.
Don't pay too much, though, as we'll be messing her up quite a bit.
If you'd like, take a mugshot. You can use it in the presentation of the science project. I cut my Barbie's hair and drew circles around her eyes with a pencil, and well as smudging lip gloss around her face. Barbie had a rough night.
I also made an outfit for my Barbie using scrap fabric I had lying around. This is a very simple thing to do that will help your project become more attractive. I've included a quite awful Microsoft paint image to explain it!
This is just so wrong for so many reasons - I love it !
(If Mattel come out with an 'Execution Methods Through The Ages' Barbie accessories range, you should get royalties #;¬)
Agreed. I found my self giggling then I saw this.
but i'm gonna add one more anyway, this is epic, the most iconic image of a barbie doll i have ever seen. you deserve an award of some kind for this.
barbies crime was presenting young girls with a body type that few if any could ever live up to, its about time she paid the price.
Woo hoo!
Or put nichrome wire inside her so she melts.
mwa ha ha ha haaaaaa I am an evil genius and i am going to conquer the world >:)
Diggin' the previous suggestions about making her shake and smoke. I wonder if it would be practical to also add a little baking soda & vinegar device so that she foams at the mouth.... Just a little loose baking soda and a thimble full of vinegar inside her head, and an invisible razor slit for a mouth opening. The shaking makes the thimble fall over, and voila!
instead of a barbie, make a "skeleton" out of wire, "flesh" out of wire wool and"skin" out of ...er...something, hook it up, flip the switch, and BURN BABY BUUURN muhahahahaha
Times Square Hooker Barbie, I will leave it to you to figure out appropriate fashions.
Fix her up with a hocky mask and a nice little pink chainsaw and a stylish leather apron = Psychotic Serial Killer Barbie.
How about Steampunk Barbie?
Cyborg Barbie, replace some of her parts with Transformers action figure parts.
Gulf war Barbie? Give her a nice M16 with pink accents, a flak vest with...you guessed it, pink accents, and other appropriate accoutrements.
Punk Rock Barbie. Similar to Biker Chick Barbie, but with perhaps less practical metal studs, safety pin jewelery, a multicolored mohawk hairdo. You could even do a whole Barbie goes Punk Band. Make some instruments out of polymer clay or something, get Ken, and Skipper and the whole crowd in on the act.

Recipe by Mia
"Delicious baked haddock with spinach, diced tomatoes, smothered in a rich, tangy tomato sauce."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup thinly sliced onion
2 (10 ounce) packages chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds haddock fillets
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced Italian plum tomatoes, juices reserved
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Tarragon, nutmeg & thyme - what a brilliant combination !!! Tasting as I worked my way through the directions, I found it a bit bland for out tastes, so I added 2T freshly minced garlic to the onion for last 2 min of sauté, added 1-1/2 T of capers & 1/4 C white wine to sauce, used 28 oz can diced tomato & increased the thyme to 1 tsp & tarragon to 3/4 tsp. Marvelous dish; definitely making again! Thanks for sharing.
I made this last night & it was good but it didn't have a whole lot of flavor, even after making some changes that others suggested. I think it has potential though! I sauteed the onion in butter & added about a TBSP or a tad more of fresh garlic, added the spinach & nutmeg. Then I put the fish in the dish & sprinkled onion powder, cayenne pepper, & salt on it. Next time I will add garlic powder & regular pepper as well. I put the spinach mixture all over the fish & baked it. When I made the sauce I added 1/4 cup of white wine to it. Next time I'll use a can of tomato sauce & double it cause there wasn't nearly enough! I think with the extra changes it could be really good & healthy dinner :-)

Hubby really liked it, I found it a little bland, think I'll add more spice/herbs next time. We enjoyed it on a bed of rice with asparagras and greens beans. Yum!
I made this except i opted out o making the additional tomato sauce and it was really delicious a great way to do fish!
I made this and it was delicious! I used a can of diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano for added flavor. I found that when I measured the remaining juice from the can of the tomatoes, there was hardly anything, so I just used a medium can tomato sauce and added some sauteed onion, garlic, and the tarragon.
The taste and presentation were great. My son said it was the best fish he had ever tasted. I was disappointed though, because the fish more or less poached in the juices created by the spinach and tomatoes. I would like a dryer finished dish. That is why I gave this dish 4 stars instead of 5.
YUM! Just finished a lunch made with this recipe. I made a few changes though. One because I was hungry and in a hurry when I was making it so I read that the thyme and tarragon went in the acutal dish. I put the herbs in with the tomatoes and it was amazing. I also added chopped garlic, sliced mushrooms and the juice a myers lemon to the spinach mixture, as well as double the nutmeg...I love nutmeg and probably would never think to use it with haddock. After I spread the diced tomatoes on, I sprinked the tarragon and thyme on top of that and baked it. For the sauce I used green onions and added cayenne pepper and left it otherwise spice free. I loved the juice in the dish, I am already thinking of ways to use it in a fish soup. I served it with turnip mashed with butter and seasoned it with sea salt, cracked pepper and just a hint of thyme...plus 1 tsp of maple syrup just for fun. Way Delish!!!
This was so easy and so delicious! I took the advice of some reviewers and added a little more spice and used wine instead of water for the sauce. Doubled the sauce. Yummm! Served with wild rice.
