United States Senator
January 28, 2010
Senate Judiciary Committee
S. 1749, Cell Phone Contraband Act of 2010
Thursday, January 28, 2009
Statement of U.S. Senator Russell D. Feingold
I support Senator Feinstein's bill and think we should be doing everything possible to ensure that inmates are not able to engage in criminal activity behind prison walls. I hope that this bill will discourage prison guards and family members from smuggling cell phones to prisoners. But there is an issue raised by this bill that we ought to consider before the bill goes to the floor.
As I understand it, many state and local prisons charge exorbitant rates for inmate telephone service. While other telecommunications rates have been declining over the last few decades, inmate phone rates have been climbing. Some prisons only offer collect calling services, and they charge up to four dollar connection fee and as much as one dollar a minute. These excessive rates are unacceptable, especially because it is usually the family members of the inmate who bear the brunt of these high fees. In addition, some prisons apparently receive what sounds a lot like a kickback from the providers of telephone service -- perhaps as much as 50% of the charges for the calls.
I realize that this can amount to a lot of money and prisons are reluctant to give up a source of funding on which they have come to rely, but I am concerned that the proliferation of cell phones in prisons may, in part, be due to this practice. I think this is something we need to look into, in order to both provide reasonable phone rates to prisoners' families, and also to reduce the incentive for smuggling cell phones. I hope that Senator Feinstein will be willing to work with me on this as the bill goes through the legislative process.

Which Flowers Mean What?
That is a question that I get all of the time. The truth is, each flower really does mean something different, and you want to ensure that you are sending the right message. Red roses for example signify love, while something like yellow roses means friendship. In order to properly figure out which ones you need to send, you will most likely be able to find categories on the website that have the flowers separated for different situations and occasions. But, it wouldn't hurt to do some research on your own on the net, or even ask a local florist for some help on what each flower means.
Sometimes The Order Is Just Wrong
Some times now matter how hard you try, they still get the order wrong once the day comes. This is a problem that does happen from time to time, and this is where that reading of the terms and policies page comes into play. You want to make sure you get a full refund and do everything by the book so that they don't have a chance to deny you that refund for some reason. Then you can call them immediately and discuss the situation with someone. Don't be afraid to ask for a manager or someone in charge either. Often times they have more pull and can fix your situation faster.
Delivery Time
The last thing I want to talk about is picking a service based by delivery. There are some places that will simply ship the flowers in a box, which is pretty much a moment killer, not FlowerDelivery.com. You want to look for the ones that will ship the flowers by messenger and the places that will leave them open. By open, I mean not in a box and how they are intended to be. There are also lots of places that just take better care during transportation. For this reason, you usually want to stick with a local place or a place that branches out all over. They will have an easier time delivering.

Northwest, Delta Talks Fail to Yield Deal
Under the bankruptcy law, that leaves Northwest free to impose its terms. Delta's pilot union said it would conduct a strike vote after talks failed and the matter headed to arbitration.
Strike threats loomed at two of the nation's largest airlines on Thursday after talks with pilots did not yield agreements.
Northwest Airlines Corp. has the power to force the pay cuts and work rule changes it wants on pilots, which would almost certainly prompt a strike. The company kept talking anyway.
And the pilot union at Delta Air Lines Inc. said it would conduct a strike vote after talks failed and the matter headed to arbitration.
Delta Air Lines Inc. and Northwest, the nation's third- and fourth-largest airlines, have said they need long-term pay cuts so they can emerge from bankruptcy protection. Both filed for Chapter 11 protection on Sept. 14 in New York.
To get those concessions, both carriers asked bankruptcy judges to let them reject some union contracts. In Northwest's case, that process led to a court-imposed Wednesday deadline and a tentative agreement with flight attendants.
But not Northwest's pilots. Wednesday's deadline came and went without a deal and without a ruling from Judge Allan Gropper on whether Northwest can impose its demands on pilots. Under the bankruptcy law, that leaves Northwest free to impose its terms, the pilot's union and bankruptcy experts said.
Gropper indicated to attorneys "that would not be wise. (That) if they had that intention to advise him first," said Wade Blaufuss, spokesman for the Northwest branch of the Air Line Pilots Association.
Northwest spokesman Kurt Ebenhoch wouldn't comment directly on whether, or when, the company would impose terms on pilots. But he did say, "It's our intention to continue negotiations until the judge makes his decision."
More than 92 percent of Northwest pilots voted to authorize a strike if the airline imposes its terms on them. Northwest said a strike would be illegal and that it would seek an immediate injunction to stop one.
A prolonged pilots' strike could be enough to sink either airline. Atlanta-based Delta has described a strike as "murder-suicide."
Delta said in a memo circulated among employees Wednesday that it has offered to increase its pilots pay 1 1/2 percent at the end of 2008 and another 1 1/2 percent in 2009. Delta is now offering its pilots a $330 million note instead of $300 million if it terminates the pilots defined benefit pension plan. The pilots are asking for a $1 billion note.
Delta also said it has offered its pilots equity in the company once it emerges from bankruptcy. Its memo didn't say how much.
The arbitrators will hold two weeks of hearings at a downtown Washington hotel starting March 13 to decide whether to grant Delta's request to throw out its contract with its pilots so the airline can impose up to $325 million in cuts unilaterally. The union is currently offering about $115 million in average annual concessions.
Nothing precludes the sides from continuing to negotiate up to and through the hearings.
The two sides agreed to arbitration instead of letting the bankruptcy court make the decision.
In late 2004 pilots agreed to a five-year deal that cut pay and benefits by $1 billion annually. It included an immediate 32.5 percent pay cut.
In December, Delta and its pilots reached an interim deal on pay cuts that would be replaced by the long-term deal the sides are currently discussing.
According to the company, the average pay of pilots last year who worked the full year was more than $157,000.
The arbitrators would have several weeks from the end of the hearings to make a decision, and rank-and-file pilots have not yet voted on a strike authorization, meaning no strike is imminent. However, Lee Moak, a pilots union leader, said late Wednesday the pilots would vote on strike authorization due to "management's continued intransigence at the negotiating table."
He said voting would begin on Monday and last four weeks.
Eagan, Minn.-based Northwest said the tentative deal with flight attendants gave it the $195 million in annual savings it sought, toward a goal of $1.4 billion from all its workers. The union said Northwest dropped its demand to use more non-U.S. flight attendants on overseas flights, which had been at the core of its strike threat.

With helping to burn more calories and increase metabolism Capsiplex gives you the results you need quickly! With being able to burn up to an extra 278 calories each day, it's no wonder all the celebrities are going crazy for Capsiplex, and now you can have it too!
The Most Potent Weight Loss Formula
On The Market
Let's have a closer look at the ingredients of Capsiplex:
Capsicum Extract - (600mg) this is the powerhouse of the formula. Capsicum Extract reduces appetite, increases metabolism, burns calories, reduces body mass and reduces body fat.
Caffeine - We've included this for its ability to increase resting energy expenditure, while also increasing lipolysis and fat oxidation. It is also able to increase your energy, alertness and concentration.
Piperine - Adding this to the formula is like adding a turbo charger to a car. It squeezes more power out of it. One of the most important things about nutrients is their absorption rate, meaning how much of it is actually used by your body. Typically this amount is low in comparison to the amount of the nutrient you actually ingest. Piperine raises the level at which nutrients are absorbed.
Niacin - Niacin which is another name for Vitamin B3, helps in releasing energy from carbohydrates, proteins and fats, making your body utilise them more efficiently. Niacin also works to decrease the level of cholesterol and fat in the bloodstream. If you are deficient in niacin your metabolism may slow down, thereby increasing the potential for weight gain. When you have a healthy metabolism it can increase the percentage of fat your body burns as energy.

'Zebra Chip' Disease Concerns Northwest Potato Growers
Northwest agriculture researchers say they are finding more cases of a zebra chip disease in the region's potatoes. The malady mars spuds with dark streaks, making them unsuitable for sale. The latest case cropped up near Hermiston, Ore.
First discovered in the Northwest last year, zebra chip is a grower's worst nightmare. Silvia Rondon with Oregon State University say the insects that carry the disease are the size of aphids. She says they multiply more in the summer.
"The warmer it gets, the shorter the life cycle -– meaning going from adult, egg, nymph and adults again," Rondon says. "The perfect temperature for these guys is upper 80s."
Zebra chip disease has already damaged Texas's potato industry. In the Northwest, the potato industry is worth billions of dollars.

CORPUS CHRISTI — Aaron Gomez is just 19 years old, but he's already getting his first shot at headlining an amateur mixed martial arts fight card next month.
Gomez will fight 33-year-old Tyler Keen, of New Braunfels, in the main event of the Rock's Extreme MMA amateur card Feb. 9 at the American Bank Center exhibit hall.
That bout will highlight a card with 13 fights featuring almost exclusively local fighters. Reserved seats in the 1,700-seat venue are sold out, but there still are general admission tickets available.
"I'm so excited for this," Gomez said. "I'm surprisingly not even nervous for this fight, because I know I'll have my friends and family there cheering me on, and I'll have teammates fighting that same night."
Gomez says his 2-4 amateur record is deceiving, because "I had the last two fights kind of taken away from me. I really consider myself 4-2."
Keen is 4-2, but has lost two straight unanimous decisions in the past five months.
"I've been training really hard for this fight," said Gomez, who trains at Weapons at Hand Martial Arts. "One of my training partners fought (Keen), so I know a little bit about him. His standup is really good, so I'll be ready for that."
The amateur fights will set the stage for a pro MMA card featuring local fighters such as Hector Munoz, Chris Pecero and Patrick Ybarra on March 23 at the American Bank Center.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Former New Mexico state Sen. Odis Echols, who later become a prominent lobbyist, has died at the age of 82 after a long illness.
Lobbyist Scott Scanland said Echols died Thursday in Albuquerque and had battled dementia for several years.
Echols served in the Senate from 1967 to 1976, as a Clovis Democrat. During part of his tenure, he was the Senate majority whip and chairman of the Rules Committee. Echols ran for governor in 1974, but lost in a six-way Democratic primary to Jerry Apodaca, who won the general election.
Scanland said Monday that Echols became a lobbyist in the late 1970s, and his clients included Bernalillo County and Sandia Pueblo.
Echols is survived by his wife, Millie Leahy, a son and grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are pending.

I Love It. I get only response from the ladies and sometimes even from men. It's definitely a turn on for the ladies. Every female that I pass by or they pass by me, they'll either say mmmm you smell nice. What's that you have on. You smell good. I then turn to them and say thank you but I can't tell you the name. Because if I do you won't be thinking apart your partner. You'll be thinking of me. I'll either get a smile or a you got me.

I've noticed some packages are differenciated only by the inclusion of "winter travel" and an additional 50-100 bucks or so. What exactly does winter travel entail?
Re: Winter Travel
Wow...great observation and question. I haven't seen it....can you refer to the property in question? Sometimes there will be more details at the bottom of the auction. You actually have to click on it to find any other notes.

Oy! Besties really are the best, but sometimes you've just gotta tell 'em to mind their own business. How you keep your hair down there (or anywhere else on your body, for that matter) is 100-percent your business.
Pubic hair is totally natural and it is suppose to be there and it's not disgusting! Your pubic hair protects the sensitive skin surrounding your private parts from getting irritated by your clothes. Trust me, if you shaved yourself bald down there and then put on a pair of jeans, you'd notice a huge difference.
To shave or not to shave (or wax or otherwise remove hair…) is a decision that can only (and should only!) be made by you. What you choose to do with your bod is nobody else's concern. Don't feel pressured to change your ways just 'cause your friends rag on your habits. My advice? Tell 'em to shut up, then change the subject.

Have netcat listen on port 8000, point browser to http://localhost:8000/ and you see the information sent. netcat terminates as soon as your browser disconnects.
I tested this command on my Fedora box but linuxrawkstar pointed out that he needs to use
nc -l -p 8000
instead. This depends on the netcat version you use. The additional '-p' is required by GNU netcat that for example is used by Debian but not by the OpenBSD netcat port used by my Fedora system.
'watch' repeatedly (default every 2 seconds, -n 1 => every second) runs a command (here ':', a shorthand for 'true'), displays the output (here nothing) and the date and time of the last run.
I thought it to be obvious but it seemingly is not: to exit use Ctrl-C.
grep -- displays process ids
-v -- negates the matching, displays all but what is specified in the other options
-u -- specifies the user to display, or in this case negate
The process loops through all PIDs that are found by pgrep, then orders a forced kill to the processes in numerical order, effectively killing the parent processes first including the shells in use which will force the users to logout.

It creates a tree-style output of all the (sub)folders and (sub)files from the current folder and down(deeper)
Quoting some of hackzine's words
"Murphy Mac sent us a link to a handy find/sed command that simulates the DOS tree command that you might be missing on your Mac or Linux box. [..split...] Like most things I've seen sed do, it does quite a bit in a single line of code and is completely impossible to read. Sure it's just a couple of substitutions, but like a jack in the box, it remains a surprise every time I run it."
cd into the directory that contains the file.
this is just the usual move command but shortcut'd.
say you wanted to move a photo img1.png from ~/photos/holidayphotos into the parent directory which is ~/photos
command would be:
~/photos/holidayphotos$ mv img1.png ..
I use Ubuntu so this'll work in debian but not sure what else.
Suppose you made a backup of your hard disk with dd:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/mnt/disk/backup.img
This command enables you to mount a partition from inside this image, so you can access your files directly.
Substitute PARTITION=1 with the number of the partition you want to mount (returned from sfdisk -d yourfile.img).
The large context number (-C 1000) is a bit of a hack, but in most of my use cases, it makes sure I'll see the whole log output.
This is useful if you have a program which doesn't work well with multicore CPUs. With taskset you can set its CPU affinity to run on only one core.

If you have ever shown up at work with a brown paper bag containing a soggy peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a bag of potato chips and a diet soda, you may be a good candidate for Sad Desk Lunch (http://saddesklunch.com/). I'm certainly not discouraging bringing your lunch from home. In fact, I am suggesting just the opposite! Preparing your own lunches and snacks puts you in control of your food choices, and the healthy choice doesn't have to be a sad one. Read on for some tasty ideas that don't involve a drive thru or a pre-packaged frozen meal.
Healthy Lunches
- Soup - Homemade soup is a great choice for multiple reasons. First, you can make a huge batch and freeze the leftovers until you are ready to use them. Second, you can throw in just about any ingredient you choose. A blended soup consisting of sun dried tomatoes, onions, red peppers and your choice of spices is hearty, filling and great for dunking a nice, crusty whole grain bread. And a light broth with chopped onions, carrots, celery and chicken will taste better than any chicken soup from a can.
- Salad - Salads are another easily customizable choice. Just chop up your favorite mix of fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds, add some protein (try roasted organic turkey or nitrate free deli meat) and pack a separate container with olive oil and vinegar as a dressing. One of my go-to combinations is spinach, strawberries, chopped bacon, green onions, pistachios and sliced avocado with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
- Deli Wrap - Maybe you would rather take a bite out of your salad than eat it with a fork. If so, try a deli wrap! A whole wheat tortilla (or gluten free if you are sensitive to gluten) spread with hummus and wrapped up with roasted peppers, spinach and shredded chicken makes a tangy and nutritious lunch.
- Leftovers - The thought of leftovers may sound bland and boring, but if you are making healthy and delicious recipes at home, they can be just as good the next day. Just make a little extra and pack it away before you even start eating. Stir fries or chili can have their encore during tomorrow's lunch break, just be sure to pack them in glass or bpa free containers for proper reheating.
Pair your lunch with any of these healthy snacks to get you through the afternoon slump
- Homemade trail mix made with dried fruit, nuts and dark chocolate chips
- Fresh fruit such as bananas, oranges or grapes
- Apple slices with almond butter
- Veggie sticks with hummus, guacamole or salsa
- Nutrition bars (only if they are made with natural ingredients that you recognize such as fruits, nuts and honey)
Don't fall victim to sad desk lunch syndrome. Use your lunch time to take a break from the computer screen, really enjoy your food and recharge for the afternoon.

Court Ruling Puts Extractives on Notice
Friday - 2/1/2013, 5:06am  ET
Today, a Dutch court delivered a judgment finding Shell's Nigerian subsidiary partly liable for environmental and social damage its operations have caused in Nigeria. The result – while qualified – has potentially significant implications for Shell, as well as other extractive companies operating in sensitive areas around the world. With a ruling due this spring in a similar case before the U.S. Supreme Court, investors should consider integrating such factors into their stock analysis.
Black gold in the Niger River Delta
Shell and other oil majors have long and troubled histories in the Niger River Delta of West Africa. Oil exploration has strafed large swathes of the area, compromising water tables, devastating fisheries, and undermining livelihoods.
The local population largely blames Shell for poor maintenance of its infrastructure. Shell says the leakage is almost entirely due to sabotage. I would suggest that even if sabotage is the primary cause, it surely demonstrates that Shell has not nurtured its relationship with local communities and, as a result, the company is losing a resource -- leaked oil -- and spending money in court that could have been put to better use.
The court ruling seems to agree with me on the subject of sabotage:
Shell Nigeria should and could have prevented this sabotage in an easy way. This is why the district court has sentenced Shell Nigeria to pay damages to the Nigerian plaintiff .
For a full history of Shell's activities and missteps in the region, please read my free article, "Shell, the Supreme Court, and Corporate Liability."
No clear winner
Four Nigerian fishermen and farmers, and the Dutch arm of activist group Friends of the Earth, filed the suit in 2008 in the Netherlands, the home of Shell's global headquarters, seeking reparations for lost income from oil-contaminated land and watersheds. Activists saw the case as a test for whether the world would start holding multinationals accountable for the behavior of their foreign subsidiaries, in this case, Shell Nigeria.
The outcome in this case was mixed. The court ordered Shell Nigeria to pay unspecified damages to one farmer, but dismissed the other four claims. Shell declared itself happy with the verdict , which exonerated the parent company, while holding the subsidiary liable . However, a blog posting today from the Dutch arm of Friends of the Earth declared the ruling "a very important victory indeed ." Objectively, it appears the case does not set a clear precedent either way, but it does further weaken Shell's lame assertion of helplessness in the face of "sabotage."
According to a Reuters report, Menno Kamminga, professor of international law at Maastricht University, said the ruling could open the door for other Nigerians who claim losses resulting from Shell's operations to file lawsuits in the Netherlands. "The fact that a subsidiary has been held responsible by a Dutch court is new and opens new avenues," he said. The court did not just examine the parent company's liability, but also considered "abuses committed by Shell Nigeria, where the link with the Netherlands is extremely limited," he said. "That's a real breakthrough."
Next up will be the U.S. Supreme Court decision that is due sometime this spring. Analysts agree that the outcome of Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum will have implications not just for Shell, but also for all multinationals with operations in sensitive regions of the world where human rights violations are prevalent .
Shell is not the only company with a serious interest in the Niger River Delta. Total , Chevron , and ConocoPhillips all have a significant presence there, as well, and studies have found that they have also contributed to the kind of pollution that is at issue in the Kiobel case. The Sustainable Investments Institute (Si2) conducted a recent study attempting to calculate a dollar amount for which corporations – explicitly including Total, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips – could be liable if they were held to account for the damage they've done in the broader Niger River Delta region. Si2 concluded that total liabilities, excluding punitive damages, could range anywhere from $16 to $51 billion. With punitive damages, the costs could be far higher. For several of the companies analyzed, the potential costs of addressing oil spill damage in the Niger Delta could wipe out a significant portion of annual earnings -- more than 40 percent of 2011 net income in some cases.
Chevron is currently engaged in a landmark legal battle, as well. The company is facing an unprecedented judgment against it in Ecuador to the tune of nearly $19 billion, for widespread pollution of the Ecuadorian rainforest. Shockingly, in the face of its own shareholders' calls for increased accountability, Chevron is pursuing a strategy of legal action against these shareholders .

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)Question: Replacing a round Honeywell T87 with a Digital Honeywell ThermostatHello - I am replacing a round Honeywell thermostat with a non-programmable digital Honeywell unit. I have a hot water system with multiple zones and with no air conditioning. There are three wires at the thermostat. On the old round unit the red wire went to the R terminal, the white wire went to the w terminal and a green wire went to B terminal. I hooked up the new stat the same way but it would not work. If I selected "fan on" instead of "fan auto" the zone would heat up but would not shut off (hot water kept flowing even if I selected a temp below room temp). Appreciate your help. - Patrick - 1/20/12 Reply:Patrick, typically the three wire thermostat hookups would be exactly the same for the old and new thermostats. For details of wiring a typical and simple digital Honeywell thermostat, see Honeywell 5-2 Day Programmable Thermostat - RTH2300B1012. For help in understanding the wiring of your old thermostat, see Three-Wire Honeywell Wall T87-F type Thermostat wiring and also see Generic HVAC Thermostat Control Wiring Points Question: Replacing a mercury thermostat with a digital unitI am replacing an old mercury thermostat with a digital. my system is a heat pump. my neighbor gave me the digital, no instructions, no box. i'm trying to decide if this is even a heat pump compatible thermostat. on the therm it has c, g, rc, rh (which are linked by a black wire.) w, y, b, and o. coming out of my wall is, white connected on old therm w2, yellow connected to y, green conn g, black conn e, red to r, blue to b and bro to x. any help would be great. - Kurt 6/4/12 Reply:Kurt, as you see in the examples at For help in understanding the wiring of your old thermostat, see Three-Wire Honeywell Wall T87-F type Thermostat wiring and also see Generic HVAC Thermostat Control Wiring Points. Many thermostat wiring setups are straightforward or "cookbook" but why not find the brand name on your thermostat and then you can obtain the installation instructions right from the manufacturer? Also, Honeywell's thermostat replacement advice (and most likely that of all thermostat manufacturers) warns: Watch out: MERCURY NOTICE: Do not put your old thermostat in the trash if it contains mercury in a sealed tube. Contact your local waste management authority for instructions regarding recycling and proper disposal.[5] ...

Back Pain
When you feel pain, it is really a reaction to signals transmitted throughout your body. These signals are sent from the pain source -- such as a sore back, through the nerves in the spinal cord, and up to the brain, where they are perceived as pain.
Different Types of Pain
The origin of some pain is neuropathic, while other pain is nociceptive. This is important to know because different treatments work better for each type of pain.
Neuropathic pain is caused by damage to nerve tissue. It is often felt as a burning or stabbing pain. One example of neuropathic pain is a "pinched nerve."
Nociceptive pain is caused by an injury or disease outside the nervous system. It is often an ongoing dull ache or pressure, rather than the sharper, trauma-like pain that is characteristic of neuropathic pain. One example of nociceptive pain is arthritis pain.
Some people experience mixed pain, which is a combination of neuropathic and nociceptive pain.
Chronic versus Acute Back Pain
Chronic back pain is commonly described as deep, aching, dull or burning pain in one area of the back or traveling down the legs. Patients may experience numbness, tingling, burning, or a pins-and-needles type sensation in the legs. Regular daily activities may prove difficult or impossible for the chronic back pain patient. They may find it difficult or unbearable to work, for example, even when the job does not require manual labor. Chronic back pain tends to last a long time, and is not relieved by standard types of medical management. It may result from a previous injury long since healed, or it may have an ongoing cause, such as nerve damage or arthritis.
Acute back pain is commonly described as a very sharp pain or a dull ache, usually felt deep in the lowerpart of the back, and can be more severe in one area, such as the right side, left side, center, or the lower part of the back. Acute pain can be intermittent, but is usually constant, only ranging in severity.
Sometimes, acute back pain can be caused by injury or trauma to the back, but just as often has no known cause. Patients with acute back pain, even when it's severe, will typically improve or completely recover within six to eight weeks.
Approximately half of all back pain patients have acute pain caused by trauma. A contusion, torn muscle, or strained joint resulting from a back injury can cause acute pain. Patients with any of these conditions typically exhibit pain, muscle spasms, and decreased functional activities. Treatment of acute back pain is short-term and usually successful. With physical therapy, follow-up treatment, and prevention practices, these patients typically return to full functionality in a few weeks. Occasionally, these patients will re-injure themselves and have to return for a short course of treatment. Patients with acute pain occurring more than three times in one year or who experience longer-lasting episodes of back pain that significantly interfere with functional activities (e.g., sleeping, sitting, standing, walking, bending, riding in or driving a car) tend to develop a chronic condition.
Mechanical back paina form of acute painis aggravated by movement and worsened by coughing. This type of pain is usually alleviated with rest. Mechanical back pain is typical of a herniated disc or stress fracture. For patients with this condition, forward movements of the spine usually cause pain. In addition, posture, coughing, sneezing, and movement can all influence pain coming from the spine.
When acute back pain is severe and travels down both legs, it could be caused by lumbar disc diseasethe most common cause of true sciatica, another form of acute pain.
Diagnosis of Acute Back Pain
- X-raysPainless, non-invasive imaging process that utilizes photographic film to absorb electromagnetic radiationhaving an extremely short wavelength of less than 100 angstroms and the ability to penetrate solids of various thicknessestransmitted through a material body. These images, also known as radiographs or roentgenograms, are used to diagnose and monitor the treatment of various disorders.
- CAT Scan (computed axial tomography scan)[also called a CT scan (computed tomography scan)]Another painless imaging technique that utilizes a computer to produce detailed three-dimensional images of a body from a collation of cross-sectional X-rays taken along an axis. Of all the imaging techniques that are currently available, the CAT scan is best able to produce images of bone, blood, and soft tissues.
- MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)Non-invasive technique for imaging the spine that involves rotating a magnet around the body and exciting its hydrogen atoms. A scanner is then utilized to detect the energy emitted by the excited atoms. MRIs provide exceptional detail of the spine's anatomy, since the human body is composed primarily of water, which is two parts hydrogen. The single most useful test available for diagnosing spinal disorders.
- MyelogramA test procedure that involves injecting a radiographic contrast media (dye) into the sac (dura) surrounding the spinal cord and nerves, and then taking X-rays of the spine. This allows the radiologist to specifically X-ray the nerve roots. In this way, any abnormalities within the spinal canal can potentially be identified to aid in the diagnosis of certain spinal problems, such as nerve compression or a disc rupture.
- Bone ScanA test procedure that involves intravenously injecting a small quantity of a radiographic marker into the patient, and then running a scanner over the area of concern. The scanner detects the marker, which concentrates in any region exhibiting high bone turnover. A bone scan is utilized when there is suspicion of tumor, infection, or small fractures, i.e., conditions that all result in high bone turnover. A Bone Scan does not replace the above tests, but may provide additional information by eliminating other serious problems.

XamlReader.Load method
Parses a well-formed XAML fragment and creates a corresponding object tree, and returns the root of the object tree.
- xaml
Type: System.String [.NET] | Platform::String [C++]
A string that contains a valid XAML fragment.
Return value
Type: System.Object [.NET] | Platform::Object [C++]
The root object of the created object tree.
XamlReader provides object construction behavior that parallels how XAML is parsed by the Windows Runtime XAML parser and the use of XAML for defining the UI of a Windows Store app. Parsing the XAML input with XamlReader.Load generates run-time object trees of Windows Runtime objects. The object tree provides a way to program against those objects at run time, by walking through parts of the complete tree.
There are several concepts that are important to understand, when you create objects from XAML with the XamlReader.Load method:
- The XAML content string must define a single root element.
- The XAML content string must be well-formed XML, as well as being valid XAML.
- The XAML content must define a default xmlns. Typically this is the Windows Runtime XAML vocabulary, as identified by http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation.
- Any custom assemblies referenced in a XAML namespace mapping must already be available to the application.
- The XAML should not attempt to specify x:Class, or include any XAML-defined attributes for event handlers.
- You can't use FindName in the general XAML namescope to find a runtime object added, but you can search within the specific XAML namescope of the object created. For more info, see XAML namescopes.
- Object creation logic cannot integrate the loaded XAML with code-behind classes at run time. If you want to add event handlers, you must do so in code by referencing objects obtained from within the object tree structure of the Load result, and using language-specific syntax for attaching handlers (such as
). - There must be existing XAML content; you cannot replace the entire tree of content. You must at the very least preserve the original root element so that the app model implications of a loaded XAML page remain active.
- The object that is created from Load can be assigned to only one location in the primary object tree. If you want to add objects created from identical XAML to different areas of the application's primary object tree, you must parse the XAML multiple times using the same input string, using different destinations for the return value.
- The primary object tree remaining must support an appropriate property to set.
This example creates a single Ellipse from a XAML string, calling Load. Then it connects the created but disconnected Ellipse to the Children collection of an element that already existed in the running Windows Store app. Finally the example accesses the Ellipse again in the location where it was added by using a query, and changes one of its properties.
string xaml = "<Ellipse Name=\"EllipseAdded\" Width=\"300.5\" Height=\"200\" Fill=\"Red\" \"http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation\"/>"; object ellipse = XamlReader.Load(xaml); //stackPanelRoot is the visual root of a Page in existing XAML markup already loaded by the appmodel stackPanelRoot.Children.Add(ellipse as UIElement); //walk the tree using XLinq result and cast back to a XAML type to set a property on it at runtime var result = (from item in stackPanelRoot.Children where (item is FrameworkElement) && ((FrameworkElement) item).Name == "EllipseAdded" select item as FrameworkElement).FirstOrDefault(); ((Ellipse) result).Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Yellow);

STEM education provides many opportunities and challenges. How can our practice evolve to meet the needs of 21st-century learners?
Technical Writing: Every Lesson is a Language Lesson
T. R. Girill
Society for Technical Communication/Lawrence Livermore National Lab.
Technical Writing: Every Lesson is a Language Lesson
"Every science or engineering lesson is in part
a language lesson..." (p. 3-20)
This remarkable claim appears in Chapter 3 of the U.S. National
Academy of Sciences (NAS) "Framework for K-12 Science Education,"
released in August, 2011 (http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?
record_id=13165). The Framework, as its name implies, is not a
grade-by-grade catalog of topics for science teachers to cover.
Instead, it offers a high-level outline of science "priorities,
crosscutting concepts, and core ideas" intended to guide policymakers
at state and district levels. Nevertheless, anyone concerned with
technical literacy will be heartened to find that among the 8
practices that NAS considers "to be essential elements of the K-12
science and engineering curriculum" (3-5) is "obtaining, evaluating,
and communicating information."
Science Genres
The easiest way to explain WHY every science lesson is also
a language lesson is by spelling out the written products that
scientists and engineers routinely make when they work. Indeed,
the pull quote above (3-20) continues "...particularly reading
and producing the genres of texts that are intrinsic to science
and engineering." The NAS Framework goes on to itemize such genres:
"[Science] students should write accounts of their work using..."
* notebooks and journals,
* reports [practice for technical articles],
* posters,
* "explanations with supporting argumentation" [white papers],
* "experimental procedures" [technical instructions],
* oral presentations, and
* detailed plans and drawings [for engineers].
Underlying Communication Skills
More revealing than just a list of written products in science
and engineering, however, is a look at the cognitive repertoire
that a student needs to develop to be able to make those genres
effectively. The NAS Framework talks in terms of "expository
rather than narrative" (3-21) text design skills that students
should build in science class. These include the ability to:
* DESCRIBE their observations clearly,
* ASSERT technical claims carefully,
* INTERPRET science and engineering material from others,
* DESIGN and construct useful, meaningful tables, diagrams,
and charts, and
* USE rich and appropriate "general academic language"
(3-21) such as 'analyzed' or 'correlate' to explain and
compare their work and results.
Role in Life
Like all good curricular frameworks, of course, this one has
its share of grand policy proposals and insights, no doubt intended
to enjoy a future as pull quotes in other people's commentary and
op-ed articles. But such comments-with-a-flourish have their place,
inspiring those who set school policy to notice and embrace the
little content details that enrich and complete useful science
standards (or even specific lesson plans).
In this regard, the NAS Framework does not disappoint.
Just how important is technical literacy in the subsequent work
life of your science and engineering students? Here is a brief
but quantitative answer:
Reading, interpreting, and producing text
are fundamental practices of science...and
they constitute at least half of engineers'
and scientists' total working time (3-19).
And how about a framing comparison with artistic skill, to which
many students and their parents aspire:
...learning how to produce scientific texts
is as essential to developing an understanding
of science as learning how to draw is to
appreciating the skill of the visual artist
Does the NAS Framework also tell how to actually teach the
skills cited above to build the essential genres of science and
engineering? No. Such techniques are left to another place...
such as the activities and exercises summarized at

Definition of Russian Revolution in English:
Russian Revolution
Line breaks: Rus|sian RevolutionThere were two phases to the Revolution: the first, in March (Old Style, February, whence February Revolution), was sparked off by food and fuel shortages during the First World War and began with strikes and riots in Petrograd (St Petersburg). The tsar abdicated, and a provisional government was set up. The second phase, in November 1917 (Old Style, October, whence October Revolution), was marked by the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks in a coup led by Lenin. After workers' councils or soviets took power in major cities, the new Soviet constitution was declared in 1918

Bruins sign GM Chiarelli to four-year extension Boston, MA (Sports Network) - The Boston Bruins rewarded general manager Peter Chiarelli with a four-year contract extension through the 2017-18 season. Chiarelli, who was named general manager before the 2006-07 season, has guided the Bruins to the playoffs six times, including a Stanley Cup championship in 2011 and an Eastern Conference title in 2013. The 49-year-old Chiarelli became just the third GM in Bruins history to win a Stanley Cup in Boston in 2010-11, joining both Art Ross (1929, 1939, 1941) and Milt Schmidt (1970 and 1972). Under Chiarelli's command, the Bruins have amassed a 291-187-62 record during the regular season, including five 90-plus point seasons. In addition to his general manager duties, Chiarelli will also continue serving as an alternate governor on the NHL's Board of Governors. 08/29 15:14:19 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |
