I have had a pacemaker for a year. I have been feeling exhausted and dizzy most the time. I am content Rate Response and all other tweaks are OK, so please read on.
I had a thought whilst gardening. I literally ran out of air whilst gardening. I realised I was exerting myself but not moving my left side so the Rate Response didn't pick up I was exercising and nor should it. It was as if someone had put a plastic bag over my head. It was easy to recover but made me think -- If you use the oxygen in your blood and your pulse doesn't go up to compensate that would cause dizziness (brain gets no oxygen) and likely exhaustion.
I then thought the same must be the case for stress. If stressed the heart rate goes up because ...

Coping with My New PM
Posted by imatos on 2014-04-28 12:39. 6 comments. 341 reads
Hi Everybody,
I am really glad I found this forum. A really wonderful forum member suggested I share my PM experience and I think that is a great idea.
Back in 2002, I was having a lot of palpitations so I decided to go see a cardiologist. An EKG was done and it showed a First Degree AV Block and my cardiologist also found my heart rate was too low, so he decided to send me to the emergency room.
I was admitted and during my stay lots more tests were done and among those tests an EPS (Electrophysiogy Study, I think that is how is spelled) and they did see the first degree av block but no treatment was necessary. Upon discharging the hospital doctor did say that way in the future I might need a pacemaker,...

New PM Implanted

Hi There,
I am 48 years old and just got a PM implanted on 4/22/14. It was the most scariest thing to go through. I hope to find support and information on this forum.
So far, I have been feeling fine, the only thing is that I do get really warm when talking, especially on my face and I can tell my heart rate is elevated. Has anyone felt anything like that?

I have been coming to this site since I got my pacer 7/29/13 after 10 long days close to death in CCU. The support here was terrific and exactly what I needed. Thank you again to all who helped me I will never forget. That being said and I do not want to upset anyone here but whenever I reads a response to a new PM insertion it makes my skin crawl at the suggestion that someone is depressed, bipolar, or some other psychological disease. How can it be anything but natural to feel badly when your life is turned upside down in an instant. I will tell you my family, friends and physicians all thought I was nuts when I kept complaining about being short of breath on exertion. I had my pacer checked several times and every time I was told it was...

Im 23 yrs old and had a pacemaker put in april 11, 2014 I didn't know where else to turn. I have so many mixed feelings. I feel different than everyone else, wishing I didn't need this but of course im so fortunate as well. Everyone thinks now that im supposed to be okay since I have a pacemaker and like its not a big deal. Since I've had the pacemaker except the last 2 days I feel like an energizer bunny, seriously lol it feels so good though to be able to do things now. Several months before thet finally found out what was wrong after being hospitalized on and off for about 8 years it got so bad where I couldn't get out of bed when I did I always felt light headed and even had to stop going to college doctors always said oh nothing is wr...

How long to feel better
Posted by jimcummi on 2014-04-25 14:04. 8 comments. 260 reads
I had a pacemaker fitted 10 days ago after my pulse rate had dropped to 30. I had passed out a couple of times so was hoping this is the solution. The only difference I feel is that I no longer pass out. Still very tired most of the time and do not feel safe to go any distance. People tell me that after a week or so I should feel much better, but that is not the case. CanI really expet to be my old self in time and play bowls again and go away on holiday? Something I can only dream about at the moment.

Following an anagram and stent mid December 2013 because of multiply fainting episodes I had Medtronic Advisa MRI SureScan dualcore Pacing System inserted mid February '14. I left hospital a became quite ill with the flu (three weeks). Then had a lung infection which is not great due to my COPD for eight years now.
I am finding it difficult to cope with PM. Any advice please.

I have a Medtronic Consulta CRT for four months and am doing well with it. It still needs more tweaking for hills, I wish that an aircraft mechanic had been involved in the design and put an altimeter in so it could kick in when I am doing stairs or hills but I guess that will come in the next model. Perhaps I should take out a patent for it!
My question is that being paced 100 % how does the flight or fight effect of adrenalin work. I understand that it is only horizontal movement/arm movement will increase the pacing rate. I am curious as I have been in a few situations where previously my rate would have increased but nothing changes now. Stress fright, and anger seem to affect differently. Previously I was able to do relaxati...

I had my pacemaker put in 10/22/2013 (going on 6 months now) for 3rd degree heart block only. Had a St. Jude Pace maker put in under the skin and I am on no medications and no other heart issues or health problems.
However, I have been struggling with shoulder/neck pain from the procedure and still in PT for it and am gaining my range of motion back slowly. Last week I experienced a heavy chest and sore feeling more on the left side and that of course, scared me, so off to the ER and they did the usual tests and the heart/pacemaker are fine, blood work--fine, X-rays fine and sent home with muscle relaxers(which I did not take because I am not into all these meds).

Hello, I recently had a second echo cardiogram (a year after my first which lead to me getting a pacemaker.) my ejection fraction in my left ventricle went from 40 - 50 to 30-35. I have gained weight but my blood pressure has been 130/80 or so. I am scheduled to see an electro-physiologist. Have you heard of a PM being related to this?
Thanks, Tony

Hi everyone, I am a 59 year old female and after having dizzy spells and palpitations for about six years I have been diagnosed with complete heart block and had a pacemaker fitted three days ago. I got really scared today when I had another dizzy spell and I just feared that it has not worked. I am really scared of pulling the wires out of my heart. I know it all sounds silly but if someone could please give me some reasurance I would be so grateful. I just need other people who had problems when they had theirs fitted to help me please xxx

Thank you for the positive words of encouragement. Each day I am getting a bit stronger and feeling more at ease with my new heartbeat. I had my post op visit monday staples removed and all looked and went well. The doc did turn on a second lead that wasn't activated at time of implant, no issue at the office. It was that night when laying down that the strong thump thump that rocked my body and i must say freaked me out a bit. The technician did tell me that i may experience something like this, i was just not prepared for it to be so powerful i went back the next day where the tech was soooo wonderful, understanding and did dial the impulse back a bit.

Hi, I am a new member as of today, had my pacemaker/ICD put in two months ago. This was my new year's surprise. I definitely feel better, but am having a hard time coping with the fatigue. I have good days and probably over do things, like errands or chores, then I am knocked off my feet and fall into a hole of fatigue and it takes days of climbing back out again. Yesterday was the worst. On Saturday I had energy and did errands, cooking, etc. Sunday I fell into the hole and could hardly do anything. Monday I took off from work to do things I had appointments for, but asked myself all day, should I really be doing this? Well, I did it anyway. Yesterday I went off to work tired, then shortly after that I became sweaty, pale and just wanted ...

Newly Diagnosed and Scared
Posted by koolaid on 2014-04-15 22:46. 9 comments. 457 reads
Hello all,
Here's my story: Since February (for 3 mo), I've been experiencing sporadic shortness of breath. I was told it was a lung virus. Then, a month later and seemingly unrelated, the chest pain started, scaring me enough to go to the ER. There, they told me I had chest wall irritation and sent me home. The EKG and blood tests were fine.
A week later the chest pain got even worse, and I went to the ER again. What followed were: 3 EKGs 1 ECG, a treadmill stress test, blood work, and 24-hour monitoring. ALL TESTS showed nothing wrong. However, the nurses seemed concerned that my heart rate would beat irregularly, first rapidly then slowly, dropping as low as 40 one time. They released me telling me I was fine and to fol...

I am halfway through my PT for my shoulder/neck area. I was doing all the exercises (maybe too much--because I want to get better quickly) and my chest started hurting really bad so I called my doctor and of course, GO TO THE ER and get checked. Did that yesterday and everything is well with the Pacemaker/heart(not on any meds except Advil). I had a bad muscle spasm in my upper back which caused the chest pain and was given muscle relaxers and sent home. I followed up with my doctor and he said to try Celebrix and gave me some samples to try for the inflamation in the shoulder/back. I read the side effects and they are not too good--do I take this or not? I will discuss it with my PT and see what he says. Any other advice?

Do any of you ever ask yourself "Why Me?" ... I have lived all my life with CHD. I was born September 3, 1974. I had open heart surgery when I was 2 months old. I have lived dealing with the constant concern of my heart and life. Back in 2012 I was refereeing basketball and my heart rate shot up to 240 for over 3 hours. I ended up back at Duke , 7 days , packermaker implanted. Now I take 3 pills twice a day. I just don't understand why I was picked to live this way ? What does God want me to do ? I am a Christian and saved. I wonder what my purpose in life is sometimes. I am a good husband and father of 2 kids. I just get depressed sometimes thinking about it. I am in good shape and walk and run alot. How do you cope ? Do you talk to anyon...

I suffered sudden cardiac death feb 6th, Thank god there was a gentleman there that performed cpr on me untill the rescue squad got there. The rescue squad zapped me 4 times on the way to the hospital, the hospital put me into an induced coma for 5 days to lower my body temp, had internal brain bleed from the fall. I woke up feb 11th to be told I had to get a pacemaker or I would die, that was quite a shock because I did not have any symptoms prior to this. I am since doing much better, even back to work, but having some trouble dealing with the enormity of it all. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi At 43 I learned that I had congenial third degree block and was told I needed a pacemaker. Before the pacemaker I was so much happier. I felt good, had more energy and was very active. It has only been 4 weeks since the surgery but I feel crappy and worse. My back hurts and I have nausea everyday. I have gained 5 pounds and tell the doctors that I feel terrible. They tell me everything looks fine. Right now I will take any advice. Thank You.

Robert Redford's Beaten-Up Face: A Tribute
Here's to hoping he wins for All Is Lost
Byon October 17, 2013
Published in the November 2013 issue
I stopped snarking about movies a few years back. No epiphany, no turning point, no defining insight, but in 2009, during an interview with Jeff Daniels, he talked about visiting a hospital and meeting wounded vets who loved Dumb and Dumber: "If it connects with people, and 25 out of 25 soldiers want to talk about it because it made them laugh? The defense rests."
I more recently pondered this matter of art versus entertainment while writing a profile of Robert Redford (April), whose work as both an actor and director has long been derided and dismissed by film critics, beginning with the late Pauline Kael, who spawned hundreds of twits wasting millions of words mocking movies that don't meet aesthetic criteria wholly irrelevant to the filmmakers. Beyond a pro forma nod to the Sundance Institute, this clown chorus still scorns Redford.
I can't wait to see what they make of All Is Lost (in theaters now). A brilliant movie, its cast consists of Redford, a yacht, ruined and adrift, and the sea. The yacht has a name; the character doesn't. No dialogue, flashbacks, subplots, or grinning volleyballs, just a man fighting for survival in the fierce grip of Nature: That's all there is.
All Is Lost is J. C. Chandor's second feature; he also wrote and directed 2011's Margin Call, nominated for an Original Screenplay Oscar. Chandor's cinema vocabulary here is pure astonishing, truly but his most crucial move was offering Redford the role. Whatever was once pretty in his face, sun and wind have long since burned away; what remains is an enacted distillation of calm strength and quiet courage more credible and cross my heart manly than anything by Bogart or Brando. When I saw Redford in Utah last winter, he laughed about how stupid pride had led him to insist upon doing his own stunts in this film; he had taped snapshots of his swollen, battered mug to his office wall. He was exhausted by the effort. And, at the age of 77, he was exhilarated by it.
The man hardly needs anyone's sympathy, but some respect for the actor is decades overdue. His career, onscreen and off, has uniquely bridged Hollywood and Art, but that's a separate matter. He has earned that fking Oscar. All Is Lost won't be any sort of box-office blockbuster, but it's far too good a movie, with too great a performance by Redford, to ignore.

Exchange Rates and Casualties During the First World War
AbstractI estimate a single factor model of Swiss exchange rates during World War I for five of the primary belligerents: Britain, France, Italy, Germany, and Austria-Hungary. At the outbreak of the war these nations suspended convertibility of their currencies into gold with the promise that after the war each would restore convertibility at the old par. However, once convertibility was suspended, each currency became a state-contingent claim; after the war it would pay off at (or near) the old par if the country won or pay off significantly less than par (perhaps nothing) if the country lost. The single factor extracted from the five exchange rates appears to contain information on contemporaries' expectations about the war's outcome. Innovations to the single factor are correlated with time series on soldiers killed and wounded and soldiers taken prisoner.

The opposite Cycles of Laws and Decrees
AbstractThe present study aims to test Meltzer and Richard's (1981) hypothesis that lower-income individuals vote for candidates who favor higher taxes and more redistribution. Assuming that left-wing parties advocate a general increase in taxation, we estimate a vote function for the French Cantonal elections. We show clear-cut evidence that an increasing proportion of voters receiving social assistance raises the number of votes in favor of left-wing parties. This result highlights the importance of including redistribution aspects when estimating a vote function.

This is sad indeed. A young teen is dead over something stupid, and his father has gone completely nuts. It's just a good thing they caught on to his plans before anyone got hurt.
Let your reps know how you feel about your 2nd Amendment Right. http://www.ruger.com/micros/advocacy/takeAction.html
I blame the feminization of the male youth today. Everyone gets a trophy, every one is a winner, no one gets told no, and your problems are the most important thing on the planet. Geez, these kids need to quit being coddled and told to man up.
The young learn early in life that they have just been born in a violent world, usually within the first minute of birth.
"If we hope to create a non-violent world where respect and kindness replace fear and hatred, we must begin with how we treat each other at the beginning of life. For that is where our deepest patters are set. From these roots grow fear and alienation or love and trust." (© Suzanne Arms)
After reading that article it sounds like the nut didn't fall to far from the tree. With a dad like that, the kid was doomed from the start.

In the war against overeating, the holiday season presents a virtual minefield of tempting sweets and sumptuous feasts that can result in unwanted pounds.
Faced with these dangers, do we just hoist the white flag of surrender?
No, say dietitians. Arm yourself with strategies to sidestep the kind of indulgence that leads to remorse when January rolls around.
We asked dietitians for their suggestions:
Find ways to get more exercise during the temptation season: now into January. Sneak in more physical activity naturally, like parking in another lot that is farther from work.
On the job, dont keep candy at your desk. Youll cut 125 extra calories a day by placing the dish out of sight or six feet away from your workspace.
Plan ahead. Have healthful foods, like low-fat yogurt, available so you dont go to the break room and have to have that brownie
When you bring a healthy snack to work and tell yourself, This is my snack, youre engaging in mindful, not mindless, eating.
Try to include fruits and vegetables into meals and snacks. Choose foods that are high in fiber, vitamin-rich, are more filling and have fewer calories.
Stay hydrated throughout the day. The body doesnt distinguish between hunger and thirst. Drinking plenty of water can stave off the hunger pangs that come with trying to restrict calories.
Make the foods you usually eat more appealing by incorporating cranberries or other colorful fruits. Add cinnamon and Craisins or raisins to a bowl of oatmeal. When foods are more attractive, people will usually choose it. This is especially true for children, who are drawn to food thats fun-looking, bright and colorful.
Presentation is paramount, too, when youre hosting a party at home. When you serve healthy food as the first items on a buffet and on fancy dishes, people generally take more. Start the line with pretty fruit, a nice vegetable tray or fruit kabobs.
When meal planning, look at the plate. A meal of turkey, mashed potatoes and corn is a tan plate. Switch out some elements for Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes, or a spinach salad with pomegranate seeds and vinaigrette. You get all the holiday colors (as well as) healthful foods.
Add fruits, such as apples or pears, into stuffing recipes
Consider tweaking traditional and comfort foods. In mashed potatoes, for example, omit sour cream, cheese and butter, and use mashed cauliflower instead.
Reduce your calorie intake throughout the day if youre planning to attend a party that night.
Before the party, eat a snack from two food groups. Eating something high in fiber and something high in protein will keep you feeling fuller longer.
Eat a piece of fruit with low-fat cheese or whole-grain bread so youre not famished when you go to the party. When youre hungry, those high-calorie foods will look twice as tempting.
At the party, use a smaller plate; you will eat less.
Drink one calorie-filled beverage followed by one non-caloric beverage, such as water. People are not aware of the calories they consume from beverages as much as those from food. Even with fruit punch, especially if you added 7-Up or a calorie-full soda, the caloric count mounts.
Give nonfood gifts that encourage physical activity, such as passes to a local water park or bowling. Or, instead of food, give a service, such as free baby-sitting.
Food is part of our culture. Its tied into all those feelings that go with it. We like to treat ourselves. We like to treat each other.
Those emotional underpinnings of tradition make it tougher to choose healthier options.
Those habits dont necessarily need to be broken maybe just adjusted a bit. Enjoy those traditional foods that you look forward to, just eat less of them.

India: high court rules coal mining licenses illegal
The Supreme Court of India ruled (PDF) Aug. 25 that all coal mining licenses awarded between 1993 and 2010 are illegal. The court found that the licenses failed to comply with the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act of 1957 (PDF); Section 3(3)(a)(iii) of the Coal Mines (Nationalisation) Act of 1973 (PDF); and the principle of trusteeship of natural resources. The ruling cited arbitrariness, lack of transparency, lack of objectivity, allotment tainted with mala fides and corruption, and made in favor of ineligible companies tainted with mala fides and corruption. The court will now decide if 218 such licenses should be canceled.
BRICS nations plan new development bank
The BRICS group of five nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa—held its sixth annual summit this year from July 14 to July 16 in Fortaleza in the northeastern Brazilian state of Ceará and in Brasilia, the Brazilian capital. The main business for the five nations' leaders was formalizing their agreement on a plan to create a development bank to serve as an alternative to lending institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, which are largely dominated by the US and its allies. Although the project will need approval from the countries' legislatures, the BRICS leaders indicated that the group's lending institution would be called the New Development Bank, would be based in Shanghai and would be headed for the first five years by a representative of India. The bank is to start off in 2016 with $50 billion in capital, $10 billion from each BRICS member. The BRICS nations will maintain control of the bank, but membership will be open to other countries; in contrast to the IMF and the World Bank, the New Development Bank will not impose budgetary conditions on loan recipients.
India: condemn Maoist assassination of journalist
India: tribal people expel mining company
India's Dongria Kondh tribe have overwhelmingly rejected plans by British mining giant Vedanta Resources for an open-pit bauxite mine on their sacred lands, in an unprecedented triumph for indigenous rights on the subcontinent. Twelve Dongria villages unanimously voted against Vedanta's mine during consultations ordered by India's Supreme Court in April. The court based its ruling on the Dongria people's religious, cultural and social rights. The mine would destroy the forests and disrupt the rivers in the Niyamgiri Hills of Orissa state, which are central to the livelihood and identity of the 8,000-strong tribe. Advocates charged the mine would spell the end of the Dongria as a self-sufficient people.
India: ethnic strife spreads across northeast
A 48-hour bandh, or civil strike, called by the United Naga Council (UNC) has shut down the ethnic Naga areas of India's northeastern Manipur state, with roads blocked and most businesses closed. The UNC called the bandh to press demands for a "separate administrative set-up" for Manipur's Nagas. Amid the strike, the Kuki State Demand Committee (KSDC) announced it would launch its own 48-hour bandh in the ethnic Kuki areas of Manipur to press demands for creation of a new "Kukiland" state, to be carved out of Manipur. (PTI, Aug. 12) Meanwhile, the All Assam Adivasi Students Association (AAASA) is blocking the road linking Assam and Nagaland states to demand autonomy for the tribal peoples or adivasis whose lands straddle the border. The decision to launch the blockade came after an advasi man was killed in an armed confrontation with Nagas in June. (NNN, June 6)
India: Gorkha separatists block tea exports
An indefinite general strike in India's West Bengal state has brought production of the world-famous Darjeeling tea to a halt, threatening to send global prices soaring. The strike was called Aug. 3 by the Gorkha Janamukti Morcha (GJM) to demand independent statehood for the region's Nepali-speaking Gorkha people in the Darjeeling hill district, to be called Gorkhaland. The strike has reportedly cost the industry £1.5m already, and state authorities have flooded Darjeeling region with paramilitary troops. "Our demand for Gorkhaland is an old one, and generations of our people have fought for it," said GJM General Secretary Roshan Giri. "Now we want it because we see no future for us in West Bengal."
Uttarakhand disaster portends 'Himalayan tsunamis'
The recent devastating floods in the northern India state of Uttarakhand are being called a "Himalayan tsunami"—and an ominous portent for the future of the millions of people living downstream from the world's highest mountain range. The June floods may have killed as many as 6,000 people, although the majority of these are still officially considered "missing." The deluge wiped out the Hindu pilgrimage town of Kedarnath, causing damage to the 1,200-year-old temple to Shiva there. A smaller temple, built after an ancient one on the site was destroyed in a 1991 earthquake, was entirely swept away by the rain-swollen waters of the Bhagirathi River. "The Kedarnath floods may be only a small precursor to never-seen-before mega-floods," Maharaj K. Pandit, director of Delhi University's Center for Inter-disciplinary Studies of Mountain & Hill Environments, told India Today.
ISI behind Taliban attack on Indian consulate?
Persistent claims that Afghanistan's Taliban are backed by ISI, the Pakistani intelligence service, will certainly be enflamed by the Aug. 3 attack on the Indian consulate in Jalalabad. Nine were killed and some 25 wounded in the coordinated suicide blast and armed assault. No Indian officials were killed, though the blast badly damaged a mosque and dozens of homes and small shops nearby. (Reuters, Aug. 3) A story in India Today on the same day as the attacks claimed that Delhi had warned its ambassador in Kabul, Amar Sinha, of a Pakistan-based plot to assassinate him in a suicide attack, and recommended he beef up security measures. Sepcial commandos from the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), already guarding the embassy in Kabul, were to be deployed to the consulates in Kandahar, Heart, Mazar and Jalalabad. Apparently, just too late...

We are porting a JavaME app to the E61, and have run into an issue. Like other S60 devices, there does not seem to be a way to select a default access point for a Java network call (it would sure be nice if you can fix this sometime!).
However, while on the S60 2nd edition, the user is prompted once per session, on the E61, the user is prompted for an access point with every single network call. Is this a bug? Is there some way to get around this? As it stands, this basically renders our applications unusable, as the user needs to select the access point from 5 to 10 times for each logical operation as we make different network calls.
This is observed when opening an ssl connection, as

We stayed here as a group of friends for our annual reunion. The house is well situated near 2 metros and on 3 bus lines so discovering Paris is easy from this location, there's also a taxi rank at the nearby Place Clichy which was handy. We loved discovering Batignolles, just around the corner which has a lovely feel to it and full of great restaurants and bars. When we wanted more nightlife, we walked to Montmartre, Pigalle to late night bars, nightclubs and bistros. There is also good shopping in Abbesses with affordable designer clothes, shoes, objects, etc. The house itself is perfect for a group because it has a large dining table and a great sunken lounge area. The 4 bedrooms are fine, have been recently refurbished with each's own bathrooms. It's a homely place, has been well lived in and as such, it's very easy to settle in and feel at home. We would definitely recommend it to others and enjoyed our stay. Furthermore, Antoinette the owner was remarkable and responded immediately to any questions we had, gave us insider tips on where to go at night, where to eat, etc. Her house guide is very complete and helped us plan our trip plus it's the perfect size to stay in for a home cooked dinner. There is a good supermarket just next to the mews and an indoor market 10 minutes walk away not forgetting numerous wine merchants in the area. We are planning on coming back next year.Recommended for:Business TravelersFamily Travelers

Professor M.C. Mirow has published a chapter entitled, "Teaching Latin American Legal History" in the book Teaching Legal History: Comparative Perspectives (London: Wildy, Simmonds & Hill, 2014) edited by Robert M. Jarvis. The book contains more than 60 essays by professors of legal history in the United States who were asked to describe methods and sources for teaching their sub-disciplines of legal history.
"I was honored to be asked to contribute to this important volume for legal historians. By talking about what we do in the classroom as legal historians, we are able to engage the community of teachers and scholars. I am certain this book will be a starting point for generations of new legal historians in the future," Mirow said.
Professor Charles Jalloh gives keynote speech to Hague Conference
Associate Professor Charles C. Jalloh gave a keynote speech at the 2014 international conference, Africans and Hague Justice: Realities and Perceptions of the International Criminal Court in Africa which was held May 23-24. Professor Jalloh's paper, "Africa, the Security Council and the International Criminal Court," examined, among other things, the negative perceptions of U.S. policy as a permanent member of the Security Council with veto power on the International Criminal Court's credibility in Africa. It provoked vigorous discussions afterwards. This interdisciplinary conference was convened by The Hague University of Applied Sciences (The Netherlands).

FIU Law graduates its 10th class
In 2002, the 67 men and women of FIU's College of Law's inaugural class took a risk when they enrolled in a brand new law school. A school that shared space in the University's library and hadn't yet accredited been accredited by the American Bar Association.
But, their risk paid off.
"I count myself lucky to have been a part of FIU Law's inaugural class," said Christine Lopez. "I had complete confidence that I would be prepared to pass the bar and be practice ready. FIU Law provided me with all of that and more."
On May 28, 2014, FIU Law graduated its 10th class marking a milestone achievement in the still relatively new law school and offering the opportunity to reflect on how far it has come.
The vision to start a public law school in South Florida began 25 years ago. Cesar Alvarez of Greenberg Traurig, LLP along with community leaders and supporters approached former Governor Jeb Bush with an idea: to educate a different kind of lawyer. The plan was to provide South Florida's diverse population with an opportunity to obtain an affordable, first-rate legal education. With the help of countless lawmakers and University leaders, Founding Dean Leonard Strickman and a group of accomplished, committed academic turned to the vision into a reality.
In 2005, FIU Law held its inaugural commencement and in 2013 graduated its 1,000th alumni. Today FIU Law is ranked #100 by U.S. News & World Report and continues to be spotlighted for its achievements.
Student Bar Association President and recent graduate, Alisha Mays, is proud to be a part of the 10th graduation class.
"To be a part of this milestone class is exciting, because I see where we have been, but I also know that the future is bright," she commented. "Our school will continue to grow and flourish, and I am excited to watch the story continue. I've heard stories about how FIU Law started, with classes being in the Green Library. But now, you wouldn't even think we are as young of a school as we are. We attract some of the top students and professors to our school, and our alumni are out practicing and representing us so well. My time as a student at FIU Law may be coming to an end, but it's really just the beginning, and the legacy of FIU Law will continue. I am proud of our class and all of our accomplishments, and I truly look forward to seeing what we continue to do once we graduate."
From humble beginnings, FIU Law has quickly become a highly-respected institution with its own unique values and traditions and continues to flourish under the leadership of current Dean R. Alexander Acosta.
The strength of FIU Law's alumni is felt throughout the legal profession. Graduates have accepted 26 state appellate or federal clerkships since 2009 including six at the United States Circuit Courts of Appeals; more than 90 are employed as assistant state attorneys, public defenders, or in county attorney offices; five have become Presidential Management Fellows; and more than20 have been named Rising Stars by Super Lawyers.
"We have come a long way in a short time," Dean Acosta shared. "FIU Law continues to add to its list of recognitions: student quality, graduate success, faculty productivity and diversity."

Rising 3L FIU Law student receives scholarship from South Miami Kendall Bar Association
Rising third-year law student, Daniel Blackman, received the South Miami Kendall Bar Association's 2014-15 Law School Student Scholarship.
The annual rotating scholarship is made available to Florida International University, St. Thomas University, University of Miami and Nova Southeastern University law students who are entering their third year. The criterion is based on the applicant's financial need, academic achievement and extra-curricular activities within the community.
For Blackman receiving a scholarship from the South Miami Kendall Bar Association would allow him to pursue his goals of working in education law and will give him the opportunity to further hone his skills in both education and law.
The South Miami Bar Association was created to provide legal assistance to the community, and offer support and guidance to lawyers in the area. It has developed into one of the main support systems for many indigent and otherwise needy individuals through its many Pro Bono Programs. The Pro Bono Clinics have provided free legal support to members of the community and allowed legal access to thousands of individuals with guidance from its members.

Call Of Pripyat Complete Mod for STALKER: Call Of Pripyat
24 Jul 13

8 hours ago
More info:
Call of Pripyat Complete is the third entry in the Complete mod series, which is a set of modifications created by professional artists dedicated to enhancing the production quality of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series. The Complete mod series emphasize on improving the original graphics, sound, and atmosphere of each game while preserving the core game elements. Built upon the success of Stalker Complete 2009, which was downloaded by one in every five S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl players, this entry in the Complete mod series is the cumulative culmination of the series� achievements in aesthetically updating the game without changing the original story or gameplay. Designed to meet the desires of new players and veterans alike, Call of Pripyat Complete unleashes the full potential of the latest, climactic chapter in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R and the Complete mod series.
Automatic .exe installer, compatible with XP, Vista, Windows 7, 32 and 64 bit. Works with Steam.
Version 1.0.2
This installer automates the core installation steps you would normally have to do manually.
Important: The save files from mod version 1.0 are only compatible with 1.0.2 Advanced (see below).
Designed for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat version 1.6.02 (works with Steam).
The 1.0.2 version features two installation versions to choose between:
Normal - A well balanced combination of graphical features designed to stay within the original game's system requirements. This version is recommended for most systems to ensure a trouble-free gaming experience, especially if using 32-bit Windows, a laptop, or only moderate hardware.
Advanced - Offering a much greater variety in weather conditions and NPC appearances, this version is designed to take full advantage of high performance 64-bit systems with 4GB or more of system memory and at least 1GB of GPU memory. Select this version if you have an enthusiast-level system and are comfortable with significantly increasing the system resource demand.
You may change which mod version you have at any time through uninstalling & then reinstalling the mod. However, while the Normal version saves are compatible with the Advanced version, the Advanced version saves are not compatible with the Normal version.
There are a few issues that may potentially occur on some systems using the Advanced version of the mod due to higher memory requirements:
- General Issues: Crashes on game startup, when loading a save, changing levels, opening crates, during emissions, etc.
- 32-bit Windows: The game engine runs out of memory when loading textures (mostly on 32-bit systems, older generation video cards, laptops, and other lower-spec systems), regardless of GPU manufacturer or how much memory you have installed.
- ATi Crossfire: There seems to be a specific issue with the latest Catalyst drivers which affects the ATi Crossfire systems when running the mod in DX10/11. If this affects you, learn more at the rage3d forums.
Suggested workarounds for the above issues include:
- Move the Texture Detail slider to 75% or less (applies to both Nvidia and ATi users). There's no noticeable loss in visual quality, but the game becomes much more stable while retaining all the DX10/11 enhancements.
- Use DX9 settings (applies to both Nvidia and ATi users).
- ATi Users: Disable Crossfire (if applicable).
- ATi Users: Roll back to last known compatible Catalyst 10.7 drivers (only works on the 5xxx series and below).

At Nuts and Bolts Hardware, the official STIHL outdoor power-equipment dealer, a friendly staff of handyfolk and hardware experts help clients patch-up pipes, cut glass, or select power tools for an upcoming DIY project. For jobs that need an expert's eye, the shop keeps a handful of technicians who repair small engines, sharpen kitchen knives, and cut keys as guests enjoy complimentary popcorn and coffee.
Family patriarch Nordy Rockler opened the doors of his first store in 1954 to supply his fellow craftsmen with knowledge, friendly advice, and a large selection of tools for at-home woodworking projects. Now, the chain of retail outlets brims with more than 20,000 tools and specialized woodworking equipment. Next to a steely rainbow of hinges, casters, and screws, a supply of lumber and exotic hardwoods provides planks for building tree houses or just leaving around as a warning to uncooperative trees. The tenor buzz of power tools operated by newly knowledgeable guests drifts from educational sessions on operating equipment and woodworking.
James McGuffey, owner of Alamo Door & Awning, built his business on a simple guarantee: he promises customer satisfaction with his newly installed or repaired garage doors, garage-door openers, and extendable awnings, or he doesn't charge for the service. To deliver on such a pledge, he maintains a team of top-notch technicians and a stock of most of the hardware needed for any job. He even sells the hardware piecemeal to those who want to attempt repairs on their own, providing helpful advice and tips for such do-it-yourself projects on his website.

When she opened the first Redenta's Garden location in 1992, Ruth Kinler made sure to hire only experienced gardeners. She believed then—and still does—that her employees should be as passionate about the ins and outs of gardening as they are about frolicking among the first buds of spring. Very little has changed in the ensuing two decades; the shop continues to specialize in 100% organic plants and delight area gardeners with its unique varietals. Among the fragrant aisles, one can expect to find rare annuals growing alongside native and water-wise plants, the latter celebrated for their disciplined sipping habits.
As organic gardeners themselves, the store's staff educates customers on seasonal blooms and holds regular classes and events. Though class topics vary, they often include helpful instruction in areas such as organic vegetable gardening, cooking with herbs and vegetables, and safely removing one's hand from a flytrap. Redenta's Garden also assists homeowners with modern landscape design that aims for low-maintenance, eco-friendly solutions.:
LaTour Tree Service's maintenance professionals keep yards lush, appealing, and safe. Technicians perform a variety of tree-trimming services, including shaping and canopy elevation. They can also remove dead trees, unwanted trees, trees that are leaning dangerously close to a structure, or trees with branches that spell out swear words. They use a cutting wheel to transform nuisance stumps into wood chips, and they also specialize in tree planting to cover up bare spots in a yard.

text: Dear developers, I came across the "hidden feature" of random sorting again today when I cleaned up the related code and fixed various issues that it still had. It was impossible to disable this performance-critical feature in SMW, although a global variable had been introduced for that purpose (it was never used)! I traced back the code and found that it had been committed based on a patch that was submitted to Bugzilla (not blaming anyone here, the committer may even have notified one of us core devs to check the code ...). Obviously, the code was not properly reviewed or tested, and the feature was not documented until recently. We should really try to avoid such cases in the future. Especially, any Bugzilla patch should be reviewed by a developer who is familiar with the affected code before being committed. I know that it can be tempting: someone offers a patch for adding a long-wanted feature, and it is so easy to just commit it without further ado -- unfortunately we need to resist this kind of temptation ;-). Since we are heading toward SMW 1.5, I would also like to ask all SMW- committers to double-check that all new features that you committed in the past months are mentioned in the file RELEASE-NOTES, and documented on semantic-mediawiki.org. It is really a pity if useful features go unnoticed simply because we forget to go that final mile of documenting them properly. Thanks for your support, Markus On Freitag, 11.

Furman tries its best to help out each student's financial problems. I received what I needed and I am very happy about Furman.
For the most part it's just FAFSA stuff, though they usually make me send additional documents, which is a pain. For the most part you get whatever they're willing to give at the beginning and just keep getting it for the 4 years, unless your grades or resources significantly change. There's a few special scholarships to apply for before arriving, and a few programs that will get you more money (work study, some chapel stuff, etc.). The people in the financial aid office seem pretty helpful, but don't expect them to cover everything you need--you'll probably need outside scholarships and aid.
They give a good amount of financial aid at Furman if you need it. They are trying to amp up their student population here and want you to come. The acceptance rate is 70% for crying out loud
They have a lot of scholarships, but the tuition is very expensive and the Furman provided scholarships can only do so much.
If you are in need or smart, Furman's got you covered.

Through my own conversations, I have seen a shift in the C suite towards having a better understanding that social technology is no longer a "nice to have" but a "must have" in today's results-driven workplace. There has been significant growth in the deployment of cohesive social platforms as a communications tool to help employees not only understand how their individual role contributes to overall business success but also as a valuable information tool for knowledge sharing and collaboration activities.

2014 CMO's Guide to Social Platforms
Since 2010, CMO has released its annual infographic that highlights the social platforms that matter to marketers.
For this year's guide, CMO.com teamed with data visualization specialist Visual.ly to help with both content and design. For 2014, the Big Four are joined by newcomer SlideShare, 2013 entries Google+ and Pinterest, and Instagram, which makes its second appearance since2012. As in past years, each platform is evaluated by four key criteria: SEO, brand awareness, customer communication, and traffic generation, with performance compared with the past two years (except in cases where the platform was not previously included).

10 Ways to Inspire Employee Loyalty and Commitment
Improving Employee Engagement is not the product of one initiative. Organizations need a framework to achieve significant improvement in engagement. Sequencing and content of the initiative are critical, as is communication.
There have been many traditional approaches to improving Employee Engagement, including Leadership Training, Company-wide 'Programs,' Learning & Development and other such initiatives.
