CBS Corp to sell CBS Outdoor international
CBS Corporation (CBS Corp) has officially put its international outdoor arm up for sale, ending years of speculation that it would offload the business, which includes the UK operation.
CBS Outdoor: resolved differences over its London Underground contract
In a statement last night, CBS Corp said it would pursue a "divestiture" of its outdoor business in Europe and Asia, and would convert its outdoor arm in the Americas into a "real estate investment trust" (REIT).
It is believed there is no specific timeline for the sale and it is understood that CBS Corp will involve trade and other buyers in the process.
There has been speculation that CBS Corp would sell its outdoor business for some time, and it was widely believed that the problems the UK business had with the London Underground (LU) contract were preventing a sale.
However, in early 2012, CBS Outdoor and LU announced they had come to a "comprehensive agreement" which resolved their differences over the contract, one of the biggest of its type in the world.
Leslie Moonves, president and chief executive officer, CBS Corp, said: "We believe the moves we are announcing today will unlock the tremendous value of these unique quality assets.
"We have studied the benefits of converting our Americas operations into a REIT, and we are increasingly enthusiastic that this transaction — as well as the sale of our business in Europe and Asia — will achieve significant value for our shareholders."
The rumour of a possible sale was fuelled by Moonves's comments at the Deutsche Bank Media and Telecom investor conference in Florida in March 2011, when he said outdoor was not a "core business" to CBS.
Jean-Charles Decaux, chairman and co-chief executive of JCDecaux, has expressed an interest in CBS Outdoor in the past, but mainly in its US assets. JCDecaux could run into competition difficulties if it tried to buy the Europe operation.

Beating the Heat on the Street

When the heat rises dramatically during summer months, people experiencing homelessness are at extreme risk of exposure-related illnesses associated with the rise in temperature. This article provides a brief description of the signs and symptoms of heat related disorders and provides a perspective on how one veteran outreach worker works outside the box of conventional approaches to assist this vulnerable population.
As an outreach worker and a formerly homeless person in recovery, I know firsthand the impact hot summer days can have on those of us who must survive almost continual immersion in the natural elements. While people are often acutely aware of hypothermia, when core body temperature drops too low, it is also important to consider hyperthermia, when core body temperature rises too high. Heat-related illness can occur when a person's body is unable to compensate for the increase in temperature and cannot properly cool off. Cooling occurs normally by sweating and evaporation, but in some situations an individual's perspiring is simply not enough to cool the body down. When this occurs, a person's internal temperature can quickly rise into the danger zone. If left unchecked, the high body temperature may damage the brain or other vital organs and can even result in death.
Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
states that "Extreme heat is marked by temperatures that stay 10° or more above the average high for a region over a period of weeks." The following information provided by the CDC can help individuals recognize heat-related emergencies:
Heat cramps
are painful spasms of the leg or stomach muscles that may be accompanied by heavy sweating. They do not require medical attention, but the person should stop all activity, sit quietly in a cool place, and drink water, juice, or a sports drink.
Heat exhaustion
is marked by extreme fatigue, heavy sweating, thirst, headache, dizziness, fast and shallow breathing, nausea and vomiting, pale and moist skin, and a fast, weak pulse. If untreated, the symptoms may progress to heat stroke. Cooling measures may include rest in an air-conditioned environment, light weight clothing, cool non-alcoholic beverages, and a cool shower or bath.
Heat stroke
is a life-threatening hyperthermic condition caused by breakdown of the body's thermoregulation. The skin no longer sweats and becomes red, dry, and very hot. Body temperature is above 103°F and can rise rapidly to 106° F in as little as 15 minutes. Chest pain, shortness or shallowness of breath, and abdominal pain may be present along with confusion, anxiety, a rapid pulse, and throbbing headache. Until emergency medical care arrives, caregivers should start to cool the person rapidly with whatever methods are available: remove extra layers of clothing, fan, wrap in a wet sheet, sponge with any cool liquids, or spray with cool water from a garden hose.
While the medical aspects of over-exposure to heat are certainly important to understand, they are not the only issues individuals face when the mercury rises. Sweltering days may cause significant difficulties in individuals' daily routines while increasing overall risk factors to those who must endure them. My own anecdotal street experience in dealing with the heat on the street has found that when the weather turns oven-hot for days at a time, cities get even hotter. Thanks to heat-absorbing properties of asphalt and concrete, this is known as the "urban heat phenomenon" (Rampulla, 2004).
People experiencing homelessness are already under significant stress from difficult living conditions. Adding unbearable heat for long periods can reduce coping mechanisms and a person's temper may increase as patience and tolerance shorten. Several other troublesome issues can also arise as a result of extreme heat, including:
Insomnia can increase due to intolerable sleeping conditions.
The inability to keep food cool in extreme heat conditions can increase the risk of food spoilage and heightens the risk for illness for those without access to refrigeration.
Hot temperatures can also cause some to take increased risks in order to beat the blazing heat by swimming in dangerous and/or polluted waters, trespassing to access cool areas, drinking alcohol more heavily than normal, using drugs to escape the misery, etc.
Alcohol and coffee are diuretics which can quickly deplete the body of available fluids, while certain drugs, especially amphetamines or cocaine, create hyperthermic responses in the body under normal conditions. Using speed, crack or cocaine during heat waves can spell disaster for a person.
With this knowledge in hand, I approach outreach differently during very hot days. I try to use a large air-conditioned van and fill several coolers with ice and bottled water. I make my rounds and offer "cool seats" inside the van when I encounter people on the street. I have a small DVD player and a selection of comedies that folks can watch as they take 30 minutes to sit in a cool environment and rehydrate themselves. I also provide free "shuttle service" to the local libraries and day shelters so folks don't have to walk to "cooling centers" in the heat. I try to regularly visit people I know to have serious and/or chronic health issues that make them more susceptible to the heat. Finally, I purchase extra daily bus passes and hand them out so individuals can escape the heat by riding in air conditioned public transportation.
Summertime brings with it additional dangers and problems for those on the streets, but it also brings new opportunities for outreach and engagement as well. A kind face, a cool seat, a short ride, a bottle of iced water, and a bus pass will be remembered by those you've helped for a long time to come, and you may just save a life in the process.

I really have an interest in "mobile outreach" and the outreach you are facilitating is not a practice I have heard of before, but it certainly fits in with mobile medical units that serve to outreach to people on the street! Truly, I think it's an innovative approach to an issue that has received too little attention.
In addition, it raises the point about how individuals make transitions to and from different locations as the seasons change, in order to reside in a more comfortable weather conditions (hopefully where it's not too hot and not too cold). As it was pointed out earlier, the dangers related to excessive exposure to heat have not been paid enough head, but your efforts are truly paving a way for others to follow!
Steven Samra from Nashville

Because I perform outreach in "The South," finding ways to beat the heat and at the same time find innovative methods for engaging people are always at the top of my priority list. The van seemed like a viable option and while it turned out to be great for that particular purpose, it also had the added benefit of making me recognizable while in a vehicle! I would often return to the van after a meeting or errand to find several people nearby, awaiting my return.
Also, because I chose specific parking areas whenever I headed into the downtown area of Nashville, I could wander the streets and yet be sure that if someone wanted to connect with me but couldn't find me as I walked, they could wait by the van. You'd be surprised how many people my initial contact with began "at the van."
Rachael Kenney from Golden

My spellcheck says that hyperthermia is spelled wrong, which clearly indicates that it doesn't get as much attention as it deserves. For people in cooler parts of the country the heat isn't a big issue but for states like Arizona, where dozens of people experiencing homelessness die due to heat related complications each year, this is a huge problem. In July, there were three deaths in three days in Arizona, the heat was above 110 for each of those days.
We have extra beds in the wintertime for the cold but what about places for people to go in the summer heat?
Laura Gillis from Baltimore
September 01, 2010
I love the idea of a van as a "cooling center" in the outreach setting. In our city, public buildings are used as cooling centers. The van allows for a more accessible place for people on the streets in the heat. Also, what an engagement tool!
Neil Greene from Newton Centre

As these hot summer days continue, I hope your outreach and engagement techniques are picked up by many others.

Redlands, Loma Linda, Riverside, CA
A former rocket-fuel plant in the region ceased operations in 1974, but work continues to mitigate disposal practices that occurred decades ago and were approved at the time.
Monitoring wells have been installed on the site itself, and Lockheed Martin has funded replacement wells for the city of Loma Linda. Lockheed Martin has worked closely with Loma Linda to ensure that the city has replacement water for its residents when it was discovered that their wells had been impacted.
We continue to work with the city of Riverside to ensure that it has all the tools to protect its citizens and provide clean water. In the city of Redlands, we continue to work with city officials to replace wells impacted by the former facility.
As efforts to address contamination from the site have been underway, the Corporation has reached out to the community in several ways, including sponsorship of Space Day programs in an elementary school in one of Riverside's most economically disadvantaged neighborhoods.
At the same time, Lockheed Martin has worked diligently with local officials to keep communities involved in the cleanup projects.

Photo: Thinkstock She called me today. She was tired, she said, of being alone. I knew what it took her to call and ask a favor, and of course my answer was yes, come quickly. There was soup for lunch, and then she needed a nap, and I settled her into the guest room and tucked her in as I once did my children, pulling the blanket up to her ears and tiptoeing down the hall. The silence that settled was nearly palpable as she lay tangled in dreams and I sat trying to sort this new bend in the road of our friendship. We who had shared everything from first job to first child, we who could sit on the front steps and settle the world's problems in an evening, we who agreed on nearly everything important but what made up a pizza topping and whether Jane Austen was a necessary adjunct to the well-lived life, we who'd cried in movies and laughed over lunches for years together, were moving apart. She'd embarked on a long, slow, and certain end to her life. I was square in the middle of mine.
There must be something we can do, I'd thought, when she first told me. I've always been the kind of person with bookshelves of directories, an Internet-site list that doesn't quit, and little pieces of paper that shower from my diary with scribbled phone numbers of therapists, doctors. Have you tried this? What about that? I asked her, and stuffed envelopes with clippings and dropped books on her doorstep. And she nodded and smiled, and I'd find them unread in the hall when I arrived with a casserole and a bottle of wine. She'd laugh at my offerings—bath salts, when she was a shower person, the book of encouraging verse, when we'd once howled at sentiment. I wanted to fix it. When I couldn't, I fixed cookies. As the weeks went on, I was all bustle and she was silent. We were reticent where once we were fluent. She knew things I didn't know, I was afraid of intruding; the easy assumptions of friends' shared space had vanished. Never before had I felt the force of the expression "in rude health"—my own sturdy self seemed to me like an affront to her. Would I say the wrong thing? Better to say nothing at all, I thought and subsided, reduced to answering-machine messages and cheery cards in the mail, and so the silence grew. A week went by, then another, till the phone call came. Where are you? I miss you, she said, and I admired the grace in the act, the hand across the widening gap. I climbed on the bus, holding the flower that had seemed irresistible at the corner, just one, a rose that spoke of summer. I was up against it—what did I have to offer if I couldn't offer a cure? I waited at her door, twirling my flower, tongue-tied again. But she was there, and she was smiling. Come keep me company, she said. I've missed you. And so, in fits and starts, we began to make a different friendship, this one based on bedrock. For when you can't mend what is broken at the center of a friend's life—whether it's the marriage that's gone forever or the lost child or the vanished job—you learn a deeper truth, how to accept the unacceptable and, however slowly, move along together. In the end, all I have to offer is, perhaps, a little comfort as the waters rise. Next: The best way to comfort a friend From the February 2001 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

GraphicsPathIterator Class
.NET Framework 4.5
Provides the ability to iterate through subpaths in a GraphicsPath and test the types of shapes contained in each subpath. This class cannot be inherited.
Namespace: System.Drawing.Drawing2D
Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
The GraphicsPathIterator type exposes the following members.
Name | Description | |
GraphicsPathIterator | Initializes a new instance of the GraphicsPathIterator class with the specified GraphicsPath object. |
Name | Description | |
Count | Gets the number of points in the path. | |
SubpathCount | Gets the number of subpaths in the path. |
Name | Description | |
CopyData | Copies the PathPoints property and PathTypes property arrays of the associated GraphicsPath into the two specified arrays. | |
CreateObjRef | Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) | |
Dispose | Releases all resources used by this GraphicsPathIterator object. | |
Enumerate | Copies the PathPoints property and PathTypes property arrays of the associated GraphicsPath into the two specified arrays. | |
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) | |
GetLifetimeService | Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) | |
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) | |
HasCurve | Indicates whether the path associated with this GraphicsPathIterator contains a curve. | |
InitializeLifetimeService | Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject.) | |
NextMarker(GraphicsPath) | This GraphicsPathIterator object has a GraphicsPath object associated with it. The NextMarker method increments the associated GraphicsPath to the next marker in its path and copies all the points contained between the current marker and the next marker (or end of path) to a second GraphicsPath object passed in to the parameter. | |
NextMarker(Int32, Int32) | Increments the GraphicsPathIterator to the next marker in the path and returns the start and stop indexes by way of the [out] parameters. | |
NextPathType | Gets the starting index and the ending index of the next group of data points that all have the same type. | |
NextSubpath(GraphicsPath, Boolean) | Gets the next figure (subpath) from the associated path of this GraphicsPathIterator. | |
NextSubpath(Int32, Int32, Boolean) | Moves the GraphicsPathIterator to the next subpath in the path. The start index and end index of the next subpath are contained in the [out] parameters. | |
Rewind | Rewinds this GraphicsPathIterator to the beginning of its associated path. | |
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)

The case of the copycat fire serpent
When we hear knock-off, names like Rolex or Gucci usually come to mind. Now assault rifles can be added to that list.
Case in point: Mexico's new FX-05 Xiuhcoatl assault rifle is closely based on the German-based Heckler and Koch's G-36V, Mexidata columnist Allan Hall writes. So close that both the German government and HK accused Mexico of copying the G36V design.
Those aggrieved demanded that Mexico destroy the new FX-05s and pay damages or face legal action. Mexico temporarily stopped production on the Xiuhcoatl--which, by the way, means fire serpent in Nahuatl.
Apparently the whole production of … Read more

Wintry weather |
2nd Winter Storm in As Many Days Strikes Cornfield
As you can see from Picture 1 taken around 8 p.m. and Picture 2 taken around 11 p.m. the snow is really accumulating and still coming down.
I took the first 6 photos with my Canon Kiss Digital Rebel 300D at 8 p.m. and again at 11 p.m. Iohn was at work for the earlier pictures so couldn't scold me for being out in the weather. These photos were taken here in the Cornfield at Farmersburg.
The last 4 images were taken when Iohn got off work in Terre Haute shortly after 10 p.m. with his Blackberry. The streaks are actually the snow falling so quickly. Those images were taken on the south edge of Terre Haute.
Yes, I managed to talk Iohn into going back in the snow with me to take some of the pictures.
We are going to try and get more photos tomorrow in the daylight hours.

In Egypt and Tunisia, women were on Twitter, on Facebook, and on the streets. Women from all walks of life were marching alongside men, pushing boundaries and breaking gender stereotypes, just as eager for change, for human rights and for democracy. ... In these moments of historic transition in Egypt and Tunisia, it is important to ensure that women's rights are not set aside as something to be dealt with after the "crucial" reforms are won. Women's rights should be at the top of the list of new priorities. ... Women ... expect their state ... to uphold their dignity and worth, and to adopt laws, policies, and strategies that translate these words into tangible results. ... Only when women participate fully in policy-making and institution-building will their perspective be truly integrated. The concept of democracy is only truly realised when political decision-making is shared by women and men, and women's full participation in institutional re-building is guaranteed. Societies in which women are excluded, formally or informally, from public life, cannot be described as truly democratic.
Pillay has vociferously decried the use of violence against protesters in recent months as protests have spread across the Middle East and North Africa [BBC Backgrounder]. Last week, Pillay condemned the response by Middle Eastern governments [JURIST report] to peaceful protests during her opening remarks at the UN Human Rights Council [official website], urging the international community to take a strong stance against violence in Libya. In February, Pillay called on the Libyan government and Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi [BBC profile] directly to stop the violence directed at protesters [JURIST report] within that nation. Also in February, Pillay said that the Libyan government's response to recent protests may amount to crimes against humanity [JURIST report].

Coats for Cubs
An HSUS campaign to repurpose old fur coats for injured wildlife begins in November.
In November, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) will begin its annual Coats for Cubs recycling program, in partnership with Buffalo Exchange. The program addresses the problem that many people own old fur coats that, for ethical reasons, they now choose not to wear. Coats for Cubs takes these coats through donations at Buffalo Exchange stores and then turns them into blankets for injured or orphaned wildlife at wildlife rehabilitation centers. The fur, cut to an appropriate size for the animal, then helps serve as a stress-reliever, a warm nest, or a toy for the animals. More than 200 wildlife rehabilitators participate in the program, collecting the fur for animals such as rabbits, bobcats, foxes, and raccoons. Coats for Cubs kicks off November 13 and runs through Earth Day, April 22, 2011.

Skiing on the highest mountains of Europe and sunbathing on a subtropical beach 25 minutes later. Crazy!
It is also the oldest wine producing country in the world, with free wine wherever you go.
And Batumi is called the Las Vegas of the Caucasus. See and watch more about it:
WILL Mikheil Saakashvili, Georgia's president, "do a Putin" when his second term expires in 2013 and maintain his power by appointing himself prime minister? Bidzina Ivanishvili (pictured), one of the country's richest men, thinks so.
The president, Mr Ivanishvili claims, has a monopoly on power, reinforced by a docile "pseudo-opposition" and control of the media. Mr Saakashvili and his cronies, he contends, control private business in Georgia through use of the tax system and the judiciary. To save his countrymen, Mr Ivanishvili says he wants to enter politics.
This is an unexpected development. Having made billions in Russia in the 1990s, Mr Ivanishvili has always shied away from public life. He has funded several projects across Georgia, including a vast Orthodox cathedral in Tbilisi, the capital, as well as theatres, national parks and medical clinics. He transformed his home village, in the west of the country. Yet, as a profile in Prospect magazine last year shows, he remains a mystery even to his fellow Georgians, let alone to outsiders.
Mr Saakashvili has likened Mr Ivanishvili to the Count of Monte Cristo, the fictional creation of Alexandre Dumas. But the parallel is starting to look less apt. Mr Ivanishvili appears to be motivated by disappointment rather than revenge. Moreover, the fictional count displayed immense cunning in his pursuit of his enemies. Mr Ivanishvili's intention to highlight Georgia's tragedy contains elements of farce.
Take his two open letters, released on October 7th and October 12th. The initial attack on Mr Saakashvili captured the headlines. But both documents are long, rambling and eccentric. In the second, Mr Ivanishvili lists the politicians and journalists with whom he will not co-operate; detailing private conversations from several years ago, he also calls on Vano Merabashvili, the interior minister, to resign. It is a curious way of launching a political campaign.
Then there is the question of Mr Ivanishvili's Georgian citizenship, which the government revoked on Tuesday, barring him from founding a political party in Georgia. Legally, the authorities are on safe ground here. In his first letter, Mr Ivanishvili revealed that he also holds French and Russian citizenship. By Georgian law, if you acquire citizenship abroad, you automatically lose your Georgian citizenship. If you want to regain it, you must submit a formal letter—to the president.
Mr Ivanishvili has played into the authorities' hands. The timing of the revocation of his citizenship does smack of pettiness. But Mr Ivanishvili has only himself (and his advisers) to blame.
Inevitably, Mr Ivanishvili's links with Russia have attracted attention. Relations between Russia and Georgia show no signs of improvement; last week, talks over Georgian support for Russia's bid to join the World Trade Organisation broke down in Geneva, again. Government officials have accused Russia of financing the Georgian opposition. Little wonder, then, that one politician from the ruling party responded to Mr Ivanishvili's announcement by branding him a Russian stooge.
But Mr Ivanishvili's French links have been less scrutinised. He is close to France's outgoing ambassador, and has built a state-of-the-art French school in Tbilisi.
The France-Georgia relationship is warming. In a visit to Tbilisi last week, Nicolas Sarkozy, France's president, rebuked Moscow for its failure to abide by the terms of the 2008 ceasefire agreement with Georgia that he brokered. "France will not resign itself to a fait accompli," he told cheering crowds. Mr Saakashvili said that the "historic" visit had boosted Georgia's bids to join NATO and the European Union.
This is not the first time that a wealthy Georgian has tried to take on Mr Saakashvili. Badri Patarkatsishvili launched his 2008 bid for the presidency with a similar attack on Mr Saakashvili. Running on the slogan "Georgia without Saakashvili is Georgia without terror", he won just 7.1% of the vote.
If Mr Ivanishvili's nascent co-operation with Irakli Alasania, the most credible opposition leader, leads somewhere, he could have more success. But the Count of Monte Cristo would have urged him to step up his game.
Correction: An earlier version of this piece stated that Georgian law precludes dual citizenship. This is not quite right: Georgians who acquire foreign citizenship lose their Georgian citizenship, but may regain it, without losing their foreign nationality, by applying to the Civil Registry Agency.

#500 Flapper Step-In Underwear. $11.00 (US funds) Just like it's nineteenth century cousin, our #707 mid-nineteenth century chemise, this 1920's chemise can be worn under a corset. Yes, they wore corsets during the Flapper era. Just like today, not all women followed the latest fashion, especially women who had worn corsets in their youth. Woman with mature figures would have found it difficult to wear the light weight undergarments fashionable during the 1920's. Young women with slight figures could wear the bandeau and forgo corsets or girdles and wear their chemises over their bandeau. The drawers close with a tab in the seat that buttons from back to front. The pattern is multi-sized 10 through 20. Fabrics suggested at the time were silk crepe de Chine, China silk, fine cotton or rayon. Purchase 2-1/8 Yds. of 36 inch wide fabric.

Anyone know any apps that support this feature on the ipad?

The foundation of the School of Medicine dates back to 1789 with the organization of the Medical Society of Baltimore and Baltimore physicians' awareness that their numbers were decreasing following the Revolutionary War. Foreseeing a potential opportunity for charlatans to "practice" the art of medicine, founders of the medical society began to train prospective physicians in their own homes, offering instruction in anatomy, surgery and chemistry. Soon faced with strong citizen protest of anatomical dissection, the physician-teachers petitioned the Maryland State Legislature to establish a college of medicine on a firm basis and under the protection of the law. A charter incorporating the College of Medicine of Maryland was approved by the Maryland General Assembly on December 18, 1807.
The fledgling College of Medicine of Maryland was in urgent need of a proper building, and a lottery was authorized-not to exceed $40,000-to benefit the medical college's building fund. Over the next 15 years, seven more lotteries were authorized to benefit the school. Dr. John Beale Davidge, a native Marylander trained in Scotland, became the first dean and took the chair in surgery. His founding faculty were Dr. James Cocke (anatomy and physiology), Mr. James Shaw (chemistry) and Dr. Nathaniel Potter (theory and practice of medicine). From Col. John Eager Howard, a Revolutionary War hero and doctors' first anatomical theater in violent opposition to the dissection of human cadavers.
From the school's very beginning there was strong emphasis on bedside teaching. The first class of seven received clinical instruction at the Baltimore Almshouse, a warehouse, a theater and infirmary for the poor.
Completed in 1812, Davidge Hall was built by Robert Carey Long, Sr., and modeled after the Pantheon in Rome. The first classes were held in the new building in 1813, the same year the College of Medicine of Maryland became the University of Maryland. In addition to its two expansive circular amphitheaters constructed one atop the other, Davidge Hall was built with dissecting cubbyholes, secret stairways and hidden exits that afforded early students and their professors safe passage from angry mobs. It is said that the 1812 British bombardment of Fort McHenry was viewed from the veranda of Davidge Hall, while in the harbor a few miles away Francis Scott Key was writing the "Star Spangled Banner." Davidge Hall was meticulously renovated in the early 1980's and recognized as a National Historic Place. In 1998 it was designated a National Historic Landmark.
The Baltimore Infirmary, forerunner of the University of Maryland Hospital, was built opposite Davidge Hall in 1823, on the site of the present Baltimore Student Union. It was the first hospital founded by a medical school for the express purpose of clinical instruction. It was also the site of the first intramural residency program established in the United States. Senior medical students lived in the hospital while helping to care for patients. The building was still in active use until 1973, when its clinics were moved into the newly constructed north-wing addition to the University of Maryland Hospital (circa 1934) and the old building razed.
In curriculum development, the University of Maryland School of Medicine enjoys a long and proud tradition as an innovative leader. Maryland was the first school to recognize the value of the basic sciences. In 1800, Dr. John Crawford was the first to vaccinate Baltimoreans against smallpox. As early as 1810, he had presented evidence of the contagious character of tuberculosis. The gift of Dr. Crawford's personal library became the nucleus of Maryland's extensive medical library.
In 1833 the school introduced the first preventive medicine course. The techniques of auscultation and percussion were taught at the School of Medicine for the first time in Baltimore as early as 1841, and in 1844 Dr. David Stewart, the first professor of pharmacy in the United States, initiated his lectures at Maryland. In 1848, Maryland became the first school to require anatomical dissection, followed six years later by the introduction of compulsory courses in gross and microscopic pathology. Compulsory courses in experimental physiology and microscopy were introduced six years later. A milestone in cancer research occurred in 1853, when Maryland's Dr. Francis Donaldson became the first person in America to advocate biopsy and microscopic diagnosis of malignancy. Maryland was the first to establish chairs in the diseases of women and children (1867) and diseases of the eye and ear (1873).
Mergers with the Baltimore Medical College in 1913 and the College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1915 enabled the school to expand its clinical facilities and faculty. Early in the twentieth century, Drs. James Rowland and Louis Douglas initiated off-site obstetrical care and home delivery, prenatal clinics and an Rh blood-typing laboratory, significantly improving infant and maternal health.
The School of Medicine has had its share of medical breakthroughs, including in more recent decades the first successful antibiotic treatment of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, the first cure for typhoid fever and the first laparoscopic ulcer surgery. In 1967, the school began one of the first formalized family practice residency programs in the country. In 1994, Maryland became the first medical school in the nation to integrate medical informatics into its curriculum.
The R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center, which opened in 1961, serves as a worldwide model for emergency medical treatment. The University of Maryland Greenebaum Cancer Center is a strong participant in new drug development and research, and virtually every important drug used in oncology has been tested in this program.
Today's University of Maryland School of Medicine is an exciting, vibrant institution where medical history continues to be written.

This information is provided under a cooperative agreement between the Better Business Bureau and the U. S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which has prepared this information.
FTC Consumer AlertUnordered Merchandise ...You respond to an advertisement offering a free "trial" pair of pantyhose. To your surprise, you receive four pair with a bill.
...You receive a pocket knife that you never ordered. Despite your objections, the company continues to send you notices demanding payment and threatening your credit rating.
What do you do when you receive merchandise that you didn't order? According to the Federal Trade Commission, you don't have to pay for it. Federal laws prohibit mailing unordered merchandise to consumers and then demanding payment.
Here are some questions and answers about dealing with unordered merchandise.
Q. Am I obligated to return or pay for merchandise I never ordered?
A. No. If you receive merchandise that you didn't order, you have a legal right to keep it as a free gift.
Q. Must I notify the seller if I keep unordered merchandise without paying for it?
A. You have no legal obligation to notify the seller. However, it is a good idea to write a letter to the company stating that you didn't order the item and, therefore, you have a legal right to keep it for free. This may discourage the seller from sending you bills or dunning notices, or it may help clear up an honest error. Send your letter by certified mail. Keep the return receipt and a copy of the letter for your records. You may need it later.
Q. What should I do if the unordered merchandise I received was the result of an honest shipping error?
A. Write the seller and offer to return the merchandise, provided the seller pays for postage and handling. Give the seller a specific and reasonable amount of time (say 30 days) to pick up the merchandise or arrange to have it returned at no expense to you. Tell the seller that you reserve the right to keep the merchandise or dispose of it after the specified time has passed.
Q. Is there any merchandise that may be sent legally without my consent?
A. Yes. You may receive samples that are clearly marked free, and merchandise from charitable organizations asking for contributions. You may keep such shipments as free gifts.
Q. Is there any way to protect myself from shippers of unordered merchandise?
A. When you participate in sweepstakes or order goods advertised as "free," "trial," or "unusually low priced," be cautious. Read all the fine print to determine if you are joining a "club," with regular purchasing or notification obligations.Keep a copy of the advertisement or catalog that led you to place the order, too. This may make it easier to contact the company if a problem arises.
Q. Where can I go for help in dealing with unordered merchandise problems?
A. Always start by trying to resolve your dispute with the company. If this doesn't work, contact your state or local consumer protection office, local U.S. Postal Inspector, or the Better Business Bureau in your area for help. The Direct Marketing Association, 6 East 43rd Street, New York, New York 10017, also may be able to help you.
The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint or to get free information on consumer issues, visit www.ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261. The FTC enters Internet, telemarketing, identity theft, and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure online database available to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

A passion for physics, Zoe Martin, receives exposure to real-world science
Zoe Martin helps the Laboratory mission of nuclear deterrence
Zoe Martin, an undergraduate student, discovered her calling while working with the X-Theoretical Design (XTD) division. Zoe currently works with the Navy Systems group responsible for the physics design and assessment of stockpile systems, which serves the Laboratory's mission of ensuring the safety, security, and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear deterrence.
As a student of the University of New Mexico, Zoe was originally majoring in anthropology; however, as soon as she finished her first summer internship at the Lab she switched to physics. "Physics is such a big field and there is so much you can do. I felt it was a better opportunity," said Zoe. She has been a student for four years now and will continue to return, explaining, "I learn more here at the Lab than I do my whole semester at school."
Zoe has the opportunity to work with her mentor, Leslie Sherrill, a staff physicist in her group. "My mentor is awesome. I couldn't ask for a better mentor. She actually takes the time to explain and teach me relevant information in my field," said Zoe. She also collaborates with other physicists in XTD division, as well as many of the code developers.
Currently, Zoe runs computer simulations to model a set of experiments completed on the OMEGA laser. She analyzes the simulations to inform the values that should be used for a set of mix model parameters, works on detailed comparisons to the experimental data, and helps define the mixing of the materials in the experiments. Zoe said, "My mentor assigned me to work on a reshock experiment, which is being included in a level two milestone at the end of the summer. I am also writing a paper that will be published. I'm pretty excited; not very many undergraduates get published."
Last year, Zoe worked as a part of the National Ignition helping to design targets for National Ignition Facility (NIF), stating "This is one of the coolest things I've done here." As one of the cornerstones of stockpile stewardship, the NIF is able to heat and compress matter to temperatures and densities unattainable anywhere else on earth.
Born and raised in Los Alamos, Zoe was fortunate to get an internship so close to home. She enjoys the New Mexico weather and loves outdoor activities, especially hiking. She also adores animals, especially dogs. She volunteers 5-6 hours a week for the Animal Humane New Mexico in Albuquerque. The Lab program, VolunteerMatch, encourages employees and students to give their time to local community efforts and helps match employee interests with communities' needs. At the Animal Humane Society, Zoe checks out dogs for the day and takes them hiking in the beautiful weather.
The Lab allows students to be mentored by the brightest scientists in their field of study. Zoe recommends an internship at the Lab, stating, "The Lab is helping me down my career path by giving me exposure to resources I wouldn't get anywhere else. I am not just sitting in a classroom learning. I get to work in the physics field and experience it!"

Bristol has long been acknowledged as one of the foremost historic cities in Europe. It's long and diverse history dates back to Anglo-Saxon times. A settlement, known as Brigstowe (a place of settlement by the bridge), grew up between the Rivers Avon and Frome.
It was the diversion of the River Frome in the 13th century, giving extra quayside space, which increased Bristol's capacity as a port. There was considerable direct trade with Europe as well as the english and welsh coastal towns. This helped launch Bristol as England's second city .
John Cabot
John Cabot's 1497 voyage in the Matthew and his landfall on mainland America was apparently predated by Bristol fishing boats sailing to Newfoundland's Grand Banks.
City status
In 1542 prosperous Bristol was granted city status by Henry VIII. The church of the dissolved St Augustine's Abbey became Bristol's cathedral.
Industrial revolution
During the 17th and 18th centuries Bristol's maritime industry boomed. The city continued to grow during the industrial revolution thanks to its developments in:
- railways
- engineering
- manufacturing
- commerce and
- communications.
The legacy of the long colourful history of the city includes:
- some of Brunel's finest engineering work
- splendid heritage of historic buildings
- green spaces
- a beautifully transformed Harbourside and
- restored city spaces.
Brunel 200
Bristol's Brunel 200 celebrations included:
- arts projects
- publications
- exhibitions
- festivals and
- community events.
Abolition 200 legacy
Bristol played a part, together with other British cities, in the transatlantic slave trade. This flourished during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
The Abolition 200 programme commemorated the 200th anniversary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in 1807.

You know the times are changing when the ladies of Downton are showing their arms. Yes, Season 3 starts in 1920 -- hence the (slightly) more revealing clothing -- but things haven't quite reached levels of Jazz Age-era debauchery yet. But the new season of the uber-popular and addictive drama, premiering 9 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 6, on PBS, promises some major changes for the Crawley family and their steadfast help.

HP 2311gt review: 3D on the (relative) cheap side
Not going to beat around the bush here: the HP 2311gt offers passive 3D for only $260 (at the time of this review). From my experience, that's a pretty good price for a 3D monitor.
Sure, the 3D effect requires that you sit at least 2.5 feet away from the screen, but when it works, it's actually surprisingly convincing.
The question is: is it worth it?… Read more

Loudoun County Lyme disease plan eyed by county board
The mild winter that the greater D.C. metro area experienced this year has had one unintended and unwanted side effect - an increase in ticks.
That increase in ticks can lead to an increase in Lyme disease, and it's something that Loudoun County officials are trying to get ahead of before it strikes.
To combat the potential problem, the county's Board of Supervisors is pushing an aggressive anti-tick campaign. It will involve the spraying of six county parks, community surveys, classroom education and special deer feeders.
Loudoun family suffers
It's too little, too late for the Farris family of Purcellville, who all know first-hand what Lyme disease can do.
More than two years ago, Vickie Farris started having intense nerve pain. Now, she's forced to take a multitude of medications to keep it in check.
Her husband, Mike, has it too. So does their sons Joe and Michael.
"I had a bunch of joint pain and surgery," Joe said. Mike reports that he has suffered from joint pain and skin issues as well.
It's not uncommon in the Commonwealth of Virginia, either. The disease, which is carried by deer ticks, has been spreading at an alarming rate.
County has highest rate
Loudoun, by far, has been impacted the most amongst counties in Virginia with 261 reported cases in 2011. However, officials say that up to 90 percent of Lyme cases go unreported.
Lyme disease, a bacterial infection which is spread through the bite of ticks, presents with symptoms such as itchiness, body aches, fevers and muscle pain, among others. At its more serious stages, though, Lyme can cause paralysis, heart problems and numbness.
For the Farris family, Lyme has cut back on the things they love, such as gardening, hitting golf balls or walk in their fields.

Radcliffe: I had doubts over body
12:10am Sunday 8th December 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Daniel Radcliffe has revealed he had a slight attack of body anxiety when he watched the sex scenes in Kill Your Darlings.
The Harry Potter star, who plays Beat Generation writer Allen Ginsberg, admitted he was quite relaxed about doing the full-frontal nudity scenes but panicked a bit when he watched them back.
"I remember thinking at the time, 'I'm in quite good nick'. And then I saw the scene and thought, 'Oh Jesus, I look like a whippet'," he said.
"I was not in any way lean - but I guess it would have been inappropriate for Allen Ginsberg to look like he'd been going to the gym."
Daniel, who previously stripped off in the play Equus, said he now wants to avoid getting naked, although he does bare all in his next two films, Horns and The F-Word.
"It was the only thing I said no to, but I saw the Guardian wrote a whole thesis on the nudity comment," he said.
The 24-year-old has remained steadily busy since the Harry Potter film franchise came to an end in 2011. He made his Broadway debut in the musical How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying, followed by the big screen horror The Woman In Black and the first series of A Young Doctor's Notebook in 2012. He also starred in Martin McDonagh's West End play The Cripple Of Inishmaan.
But he said he enjoys keeping busy.
"Everyone said to me, 'Aren't you tired?'. But I wasn't really. I only get tired if I'm bored. If I stop getting stimulated I shut down, I'm like a dog in that way," he added.
:: Kill Your Darlings is in cinemas now.

The Claremont Institute's Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence (CCJ) Director John Eastman and CCJ Board of Advisor Chairman Edwin Meese III teamed up with Professor Hadley Arkes to file an important amicus curiae brief in the partial birth abortion case, currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Filed on Thursday, August 3, the brief challenges the notion that the Supreme Court has the authority to create new substantive rights and then claim a monopoly on the inherently legislative power of defining the scope of the right and balancing it against other rights of at least equal importance, such as the right to life recognized as "unalienable" in the Declaration of Independence.
"This may be the most important abortion case in a generation," noted Eastman, "and we're delighted that Professor Arkes has joined us in this effort, aimed at reminding the Court of the important first principles at stake."
Special thanks are due to CCJ Deputy Director Karen Lugo, and the Claremont Institute's five Summer 2006 Blackstone Fellows (Nick Brutocao and Carrie McAlister from Chapman Law School; Jessica Bell from Pepperdine Law School; Melinda Diehl from William & Mary Law School; and Tyler Shewey from the University of Pennsylvania Law School), who all provided terrific research assistance on the project.
A copy of the brief is available here.
