Q.What is your greatest concern for America's financial future?
A. On a national basis, the two worries that rise to the top of my list (among many others) are the twin dangers of our growing dependence on imported oil and on imported money to fund government spending. Even worse, we import both from countries that are not our friends. Here's a quick look at the basics of each situation.
Danger of our national debt
Almost every year, the U.S. government spends far more than it takes in through tax revenues. In the fiscal year just ended, our government spent about $1.8 trillion more than it collected -- a record budget deficit. The sum total of all our deficits, going back through the years, is our national debt. It is approaching $8 trillion dollars. That's money we borrow by selling IOUs -- Treasury bills, notes and bonds.
The real problem with all that debt is that 47 percent of it is owed to foreigners! Nearly half our debt is owned by foreign central banks, including China -- one of our largest creditors. They have lots of dollars -- money we've sent to them as we purchased their consumer goods. So far, the Chinese and others have been willing to lend us money, buying our Treasury bills, notes and bonds, at the current very low interest rates. But what happens when they see the U.S. is also creating more dollars -- inflation -- to help pay its bills?
At some point, those lenders are going to suggest that they would like higher interest rates -- or some other important concessions -- in order to keep lending us money to finance our government spending.
And that will be a critical moment -- when our lenders start making demands! We give away our future freedoms when we grow indebted to those who do not necessarily have our best interests at heart.
Danger of imported oil dependency
The second great dependency is on imported oil. The statistics are frightening. In the United States, we use 21 million barrels of oil a day. Of that amount, 13 million barrels are imported. In fact, the United States, with only 4 percent of the world's population, uses 25 percent of the global supply each day!
This huge financial issue came into focus recently when I heard legendary oilman T. Boone Pickens speak about our vulnerability. Before you jump to the conclusion that the view of an "oilman" might be self-serving, the reality is quite the opposite.
Pickens has spent more than $62 million of his own money trying to educate Washington leaders in both parties to the dangers of U.S. dependence on imported oil from countries that are potential enemies. He has backed everything from wind power to solar to geothermal to natural gas (which we have in great abundance) as alternatives to importing oil. Pickens says the world sees it as both piggish and foolish -- using too much oil, and not demanding enough from the countries we protect. While the Chinese buy up reserves around the world -- and even have a deal with Iraq to develop their oil fields -- the U.S. has nothing to show for the lives lost and the money spent in that country!
Pickens is doing more than complaining. You can find his suggestions and join his attempt to inform Congress at www.pickensplan.com/theplan/.
One central aspect of Pickens' solution is to offer immediate tax credits to move our nation's fleet of more than 6 million 18-wheel trucks from diesel to natural gas fuel. Because about about 5 million of the 13 million barrels we import daily come from OPEC, a switch to natural gas as truck fuel could cut our dependence on OPEC in half! America is overflowing with new natural gas discoveries that have pushed its price down to record lows compared with oil. We would cut our dependence on foreign oil -- and our vulnerability to sworn enemies and fickle friends.
The greatest fear
These two growing dependencies -- on imported money and imported oil -- top my greatest fears for the future of our free enterprise system. The truly sad thing is that we could solve these problems if only our representatives in Washington -- in both political parties -- would focus on these dangers. And that's The Savage Truth.

Lessons Lyrics - Rush
Review The Song (2)
Sweet memories
Flashing very quickly by
Reminding me
And giving me a reason why
I know that
My goal is more than a thought
I'll be there
When I teach what I've been taught
And I've been taught...
You know we've told you before
But you didn't hear us then
So you still question why
No! You didn't listen again!
You didn't listen again!
Sweet memories
I never thought it would be like this
Reminding me
Just how close I came to missing
I know that
This is the way for me to go
You'll be there
When you know what I know
And I know...
You know we've told you before
But you didn't hear us then
So you still question why
No! You didn't listen again!
You didn't listen again!

aww yeah | Reviewer: Jake Fuller | 10/22/13
A classic example of rush's musical prowess; everybody is on their A-game, not just on this song, but the whole album as well. Geddy's bass fills are god-tier on this song, and the lyrics are relateable, I give this song a 5/5.
Favorite song on album | Reviewer: Dawn Pedrick | 8/31/05
This song takes me back to when I was 16. I love this song and the whole side two of this album. The album had already been released for 8 years at that time, but I was hearing it for the first time in my boyfriends attic room. I would listen to it over and over. I have it now on CD and when I listen to it, I can't help but wonder whatever became of him. That's one of the reasons why I watch America's Most Wanted...

Farmer Yohannes smiling all the way to the bank – chicken and eggs sustain Ethiopian farmers
Farmer Yohannes holds his sixteen (16) eggs, five hundred Ethiopian Birr and his brand new savings account book for his first ever bank account with only two entries – the starting balance and one subsequent saving deposit. He is celebrating a successful chicken farming enterprise; a partnership with his wife who helped feed the chickens at the right time and with his daughter who kept the records. Besides all that, he is also a converted believer to proper animal husbandry. This may be the reason Tadelle Dessie, a scientist in animal genetics and breeding; and the project leader, based at ILRI's Addis Ababa campus, says that 'chicken farming is the first ladder in the pathways out of poverty' when we discuss the project with him.

Ear tags stir fresh interest in goats in Ethiopian village
Tilahun Seyoum is by all standards a grown up responsible husband, father and community leader. He also belongs to the school of thought that believes, to learning there is no end. Thus, after many years of keeping goats, cattle and sheep, he has in the last few months, learnt one new thing. He has learnt that the yellow tag now hanging from the ear of his goat means that the goat will sell for a higher price compared to that of his friend in the neighbouring village. That yellow tag means the parents of the animals are known and performances of its future offspring can be predicted hence the higher value compared to untagged animals. Continue reading

Tracking livestock tribes, families increases incomes and productivity
Did it ever cross your mind that cows, goats, sheep and all animals have tribes, families, clans and other family groups much like human beings do? Or that keeping track of those families is as important as it is for human beings? Understanding livestock families' means understanding the parents of an animal, specific characteristics like the dominant colour of their skin, the likely weight it should have, the amount of milk or taste of meat it should produce when properly fed and its ability to cope with certain environments. It also involves understanding what feed and how much is best for that "tribe" (breed) of animal to produce the best milk or meat. Continue reading

Man, 25, is indicted on graffiti charge
CORPUS CHRISTI - A 25-year-old Corpus Christi man accused of vandalizing several businesses has been indicted on a graffiti charge.
Michael Stephen Gonzalez is accused of spray painting a shopping center and three other businesses on Nov. 13. Gonzalez, who is free on $5,000 bond, was indicted Wednesday on a graffiti charge. The state jail felony is punishable by as many as two years in jail and a fine not to exceed $10,000.
Shortly after the vandalism, authorities released surveillance footage from one of the businesses that showed a man covering his face with his hand as he spray painted the lens of a security camera.

Solar-curtain "soft house" plan proposed by MIT prof
Heavens be praised* - the energy security/climate/fuel-price crisis has been solved by an MIT professor. Remarkably, not a professor of engineering or science either - but an architecture prof. Sheila Kennedy and her partner Frano Violich - assisted by other architects - have designed a "soft house" powered by "energy harvesting …
1/5 aint half bad...
...when you consider another energy story today about wind power generation not being able to provide a sustained energy source - surely this tech can take up the slack for that, when the winds die down throughout europe!
But yes the UK would probably see a very small fraction, perhaps 1/100th of that sunlight, until we get a lucky summer - this year hasn't been all that bad - I've got my dinky experimental 2.4watt solar panel powering a small 12v computer case fan permanently blowing into my dining room!
But the thing stops spinning as soon as the thinnest sliver of cloud covers it up.
I reckon it'll take about 10 or so large car batteries with some serious solar panel surface area (costing thousands in all) to even have the slightest chance of running my electrical needs.
Even boiling a kettle will take serious amounts of energy, and probably kill the batteries with its fast drain rate.
Lets not forget these curtains dont work without somewhere to store the energy - much more costs, less reason to come off the national grid!
Am I being stupid...
...but if the curtain was made 'less inefficient' by moving around the house and tracking the sun to capture all those lovely rays, wouldn't that mean that as a soft home-owner I would be normally be subjected to as much sunlight as is preferred by Nosferatu and co.
This leading to chronic rickets endemic to stupid soft-homed and soft-boned home-owners who opted to buy a house with the BFGs shower at one end.
Paris - cos she could firm-up the bones of even the softest home-owner.
Take it to the native americans...
...this technology would be perfect for big, "smart" wigwams! At least in places like Arizona. The conical shape would have excellent surface area proportions and there's lots of solar energy to be had. Plus they could get back to their traditional way of life.... ^_^
Also, isn't this a great excuse to bring cloaks and capes back into fashion? Think of the possibilities!
Even if you had that arrangement, there's only one or two sides of the house being illuminated at once. Also, if these curtains absorbed a lot of light to generate more power, you'd end up offsetting that with higher lighting bills. I suppose you _could_ install Light-Pipes from the roof if you were designing a new house to help lower this offset.
This could be a viable power source for foreign second homes; say somewhere in the south of Spain. You'd have a big battery pack under the house (maybe even an electric car as well) and it'd charge them up while you were away. If you had a garden there it'd probably be sufficient to run a sprinkler every so often and keep a robotic lawnmower roaming about. When you turned up for a holiday, it'd draw power from batteries and curtains. You could even sell some power back to the Spanish power grid if they have provisions for that sort of thing.
Except it'd all get nicked or torn. And infested with insects swarming over the lovely warm porous stuff.
Overall, I'd say it was "passable" as an idea if they explained possible uses and ways you could lower your power consumption to within- or close to- the 16kWh.
facts or bile?
I agree that the architects facts were thin on the ground but I regret that your own were not exactly spot on either. Take the 'average' house energy usage figures you use, you didn't mention, and I quote "85 per cent of energy used in households was for space or water heating".
Now since it is no big thing to build a fully passive house, i.e. one with zero external heating requirements (www.scanhome.ie is one example I know well, plenty of others exist) that reduces you 'electrical' requirements for an average house from 60kWh, to 9kWh. This can be reduced further with the use of low energy bulbs, switching off instead of standby etc. All stuff you would do anyway if you were building a passive house. So we are now talking about running a very comfortable house on as little as 3 or 4 kWh.
I completely accept that curtains are not a very viable solution, even if it did get the professor's name in print, but does that really justify getting your hackles that far up?
Power Demand, Architects and Photo-Voltaics
@Paul Smith ..... I recall a solar house in the US needing only 3kWh per day, including running a fridge, so that seems feasible. It was fairly austere living, though, by modern standards.
A bit off topic ..... Having lived in 12 (or is it 13?) homes now, I'd suggest that the homes that architects design are not designed for humans - none that I know of, anyway. What goes on in their heads is a mystery to me, particularly with regard to the wierd shaped furniture that they think people own.
Now, a bit more on topic .... How are these curtains supposed to withstand poor weather (high wind, sleet, etc.)? And what exactly happened to the solid walls that are supposed to keep that nasty weather and cold on the outside, not to mention thieves and nosey neighbours?
A long time ago, and amongst other things, I studied photo-voltaics under Prof Martin Green, who, at the time, had just invented the world's most efficient solar cell (since superseded). IIRC, his team gave up on efficiency (output-per-m2), instead focussing on cost minimisation (output-per-dollar). Personally, to achieve uptake of solar (photo-voltaic) power on a signficant scale, the low-cost approach seems a more sensible one ..... and fairly far removed from solar curtains in the "soft house".
16kW curtains, 60kWh per house
And you'd power 6 houses? Well, maybe for a few months of the year, if you were sufficiently polar.
Besides which, how much pollution is generated in the production of said PV-curtains and how often would they need replacing? Most photo-voltaics aren't half as eco-friendly as they claim to be.
According to my maths
If professors are bad, and architects are bad, then professors of architecture are at least bad^2, and may even be badder like bad^6 if Van der Waals forces are in play. I bet they didn't think of that.
Actually, we're all agreed about how to validate architects and verify their designs. Architects should use the buildings they design. If it's an office, they should work in it. If it's a house, they should live in it. If it's a school, they should take architecture classes in it. If they really think they have a viable solar powered house, let's see them not paying the leccy bills and wearing three overcoats. If they fail they should be restricted to designing dog-houses and monkey-houses. (Definitely not penguin pools, or parrot cages).
Then, finally, at last a Thousand Flowers might blossom.
Step slowly back into reality
From the looks of that picture, there are no real walls. While the government and various law enforcement agencies would rejoice at the complete elimination of privacy, I'm not so sure people will like it too much. And I hope you don't like your possessions, as they'd be nicked pretty much immediately. Not to mention the lack of solid walls and insulation means the house will be too hot in the summer and way too cold in the winter. Lack of humidity control would be great. Hope you like water and sleet/hail coming in, too. And insects, arachnids, and other creepy-crawlies.
Even if their plan is to take a normal solid-wall house and hanging these panels on the outside, there are a number of additional issues:
How will the panels hold up to rain, sleet, hail, and snow? How about hurricanes and tornados? How resistant will these panels be to various creepy-crawlies? Oh, and I hope you weren't too attached to the notion of being able to look out the window and actually see the outside world since these panels will block the windows.
That doesn't even get into the cost of such a plan. There's a reason roof-mounted solar panels aren't too popular -- because they're extremely expensive.
Twisting the Q-Tip in too far
I wish I had a bigger shower. One where my elbows don't bump. One where I can move. A shower so big that I can walk around in it. A shower that needs furniture! A shower so big that my friends can come over! I'll build an entire house that's one big oval rail with a giant shower curtain!
The aluminum foil coat is mine, just like in the model.
The Elephant in the room
Is the UK-USA average of 60-73 kilowatt hours, while it's considered just fine to piss that much energy away, alternative energy schemes are all DOA.
But then where is the profit in that route eh?
Pointless excersize in futulity
IMHO it's a waste of energy, time & money to make & install the curtains, the house could not be near any trees (including bushes on the ground) or other buildings that may shade the solar curtains because the power produced from solar panels significantly drops if even a small part is shaded by your hand or even a few leaves, and then to get the most out of the sunlight provided you have to angle the panels/curtains at the sun because in the middle of the summer you'd want your solar panel/curtains to be almost flat not vertical (as in the case of hanging curtains)
Just stick panels on the roof like everyone else is doing.
Incedentally I live literally just down the road from where Damien Hurst has bought a new building for his studios and will be spending £1.5M on a 310kw solar setup, the building is still an empty shell but I'm keeping a curious eye on the progress whenever I pass by.
re: facts or bile
I'm guessing you define "average household" as one that does not have a refrigerator, stove, washer, dryer, microwave, hair dryer, computer or TV. And such a definition would probably fit in the early 1900s, but not in the early 2000s.
Average LCD TV (let's say 125W), receiver (60W), subwoofer (11W), and DVD player (7W) used for 6 hours = 1.218kWh
Smaller average LCD TV (let's say 100W) used for 4 hours = 0.400kWh
Average computer (80W), monitor (35W), speakers (10W), router (8W), and cable/DSL modem (9W) used for 6 hours = 0.852kWh
(3) 25W lamps used for 6 hours = 0.450kWh
1600W hair dryer used for 15 minutes (3 people, 5 minutes each) = 0.133kWh
That's just what I could think of off the top of my head, and it's 3.053kWh per day in addition to refrigerator, stove/range/oven, washer, dryer, and microwave. A total of 9kWh per day MIGHT be possible if the family does not use the stove/range/oven often, does not have a washer or dryer, does not go into the refrigerator often, does not use the microwave often, uses fluorescent lights, and does not leave lights turned on when not in use.
For the record, my daily use (excluding my two computers) is 5-6kWh. I live alone, and I don't pay for heat. I use 20W energy-efficient fluorescent lamps, and I only have one lamp on at a time. I only use the stove about once every week or two, and that's only about 20 minutes to cook pasta. I don't use the microwave, and I don't have a washer, dryer, or hair dryer.
Keep them drawn all the time?
Am I the only person to have detected a small problem in their plan? Don't most people close their curtains at night and open them again during the day? So the only time these solar-panel curtains will be exposed to the sun is at... night.
@Chris C
That's got to suck for you then. Either you don't have many clothes or you end up spending considerably more on the laundromat than you would one home appliances and electricity bills.
A really picturesque concept, but about as realistic as expecting to heat your home by lighting your farts.
Unrealistic energy production assumptions aside, what would one of these things look like after a year in Glasgow?
>A really picturesque concept, but about as realistic as expecting to heat your home by lighting your farts.<
My wife is vegetarian; I think that this would be a perfectly feasible solution.
Checking my power bills
And I find I peaked at 16kWh a day, in mid winter with electric heating and water. More usually they're around 10kWh. Are you really suggesting that Brit and Yank households are that energy inefficient on average? I'm not exactly pushing myself to conserve energy either.

Group inverses for singular M-matrices are useful tools not only in matrix analysis, but also in the analysis of stochastic processes, graph theory, electrical networks, and demographic models. Group Inverses of M-Matrices and Their Applications highlights the importance and utility of the group inverses of M-matrices in several application areas.
After introducing sample problems associated with Leslie matrices and stochastic matrices, the authors develop the basic algebraic and spectral properties of the group inverse of a general matrix. They then derive formulas for derivatives of matrix functions and apply the formulas to matrices arising in a demographic setting, including the class of Leslie matrices. With a focus on Markov chains, the text shows how the group inverse of an appropriate M-matrix is used in the perturbation analysis of the stationary distribution vector as well as in the derivation of a bound for the asymptotic convergence rate of the underlying Markov chain. It also illustrates how to use the group inverse to compute and analyze the mean first passage matrix for a Markov chain. The final chapters focus on the Laplacian matrix for an undirected graph and compare approaches for computing the group inverse.
Collecting diverse results into a single volume, this self-contained book emphasizes the connections between problems arising in Markov chains, Perron eigenvalue analysis, and spectral graph theory. It shows how group inverses offer valuable insight into each of these areas.

Obama aide calls for proprietary trading ban
16 January 2009
One of Barack Obama's key advisers on the banking industry has called for large financial institutions to be banned from certain proprietary trading activities, just one day after Deutsche Bank disclosed that it was likely to lose €4.8bn ($6.3bn) in the fourth quarter, primarily on the back of adverse credit and equity prop trading performance.

UNP Western provincial council member Mujibar Rahuman told Sri Lanka Mirror that the attack has taken place amidst the evening prayer.
A few has been hospitalized who got injured at the clash and the security forces have laid heavy guard to the area.
Colombo General hospital sources say that 2 policemen and a civilian who got injured from a clash in Grand Pass has been admitted to the hospital.
A spokesperson in Bodu Bala Sena said that the BBS has no involvement in the incident.
According to eyewitnesses about 10 Buddhist monks suspected to be from the Ravana Balaya group, allegedly attacked the mosque despite the police guard.
The area remains tense after a few houses were also attacked on the Swarna Chaitya road in Grandpass where the mosque is situated.
The attack took place soon after Maghrib or evening prayers, sources told Colombo Telegraph.
The Ravana Balaya group called for its relocation within one month. Security forces personnel have now been stationed around the mosque to assist the police to keep calm.

Sampath by being racist you do not damage your soul , do not be happy thinking you get a chance to scold Muslims, each and every troubles you cause to Muslims let it be by word , writing, planing , hiting or by any means be warned that mean you are ruining your self. do you know what happend to men who did insult to Mawanella mosque some times back, same type of punishments will arrive to you , your racist organizations and specially to racist leaders as well from almighty Allah who has infinite power, if he wills then you and your racist leaders are nothing to Allah.Delete
if one was to ask who is your creator,or maker..its not buddah,not jesus,not krishna..as they were also human beings..only muslims i think give the most sensible answer..Allah, a power,not a person ..the creator of the entire universe..ReplyDelete
Islam is a religion of peace not a religion of violence..the quran has been mis quoted to suit the peoples views,if one was to read in context the whole concept of war and jihad would be understood.jihad means in arabic to strive not fight. and fighting is only allowed only if all peaceful means of solving the problems fail,it is the very last and final option not the first, in order to protect yourself from oppressors. Not only about this,the quran has rules and regulations about every single aspect of life ex. charity,fasting,prayer,marriage,business, cleanliness,..etc.
I have read the translation and i feel very disappointed how it has been misunderstood.
I appeal people to really understand something before unnecessarily having hatred towards it.
I am really sorry for my comments my muslem brothers, you opened my eyes, i yesturday night searched in the internet about islaam and muslems and i was really impressed, we sinhalese buddhist have been going astray worshiping the statues of buddha which is made of stone sand and cement, and it has no power at all, i think islaam is the true religion and all including sinhalese buddhist should follow islaam it is the correct way of life, all temples should be converted to mosques sri lanka should soon become muslem contry....ReplyDeleteReplies

to the muslim brothers do not over react when some diffiulties happend .the muslims are been adviced to seek the help of almighty allah during times of oppression or in danger .by some who try reacting in bad and fowl language we too become on lowly path .so be patient and try to educate the others what islam is really .if we also try to ackt in promoting hate then the problems will become worse.the sinhalese brothers are more patient and understanding but in every community you find the black sheep even in muslims as yu can see how our so called islamic countries are divided and killing there own breatheren .so best is he who ackts with patience and in constancy and seek allahs help and surely allahs help is with those who strive in the path of allah .wasallam -shirazReplyDelete

While we still do not have a definite answer as to how long he has been upset with the company, we do know now that CM Punk was already contemplating a departure from WWE as early as Royal Rumble 2014. He vented to Mick Foley at the time about not being happy within the company and having trouble dealing with injuries.
After he was pulled from Royal Rumble 2014 at the last minute, Evan Bourne told fans on Twitter that he was still working on making his return to WWE, but as of right now, it does not appear that management is making that a priority backsage.
Since the company wanted to sell the brutality of Brock Lesnar for his match against Big Show at Royal Rumble 2014, they had Mark Henry work an injury angle and take a couple of weeks off. It looks the former world champion is returning to WWE, possibly as soon as Monday Night Raw this week.
After what took place at Royal Rumble 2014, WWE officials were concerned that the audience at Monday Night Raw was going to hijack the event by voicing their opinions, so in order to help squash some of that and control the crowd, management had Daniel Bryan cutting a promo to open up the show.
Long known backstage as someone with a short fuse, Randy Orton was said to be irate with the fans at Royal Rumble 2014 because he feels that they interrupted his performance against John Cena by openly rooting for Daniel Bryan. Orton does have a history of being upset with audiences.
When Alexander Rusev made his debut at Royal Rumble 2014, many were under the impression that it was a permanent call up to the main roster. However, it appears that management wants the developmental wrestler to have a little more seasoning by working in WWE NXT for a few more weeks.
Over the weekend, Jillian Hall visited a WWE live event and was backstage, which led to rumors of her returning to the company. She has since issued a public statement, denying the rumors of her return. Jillian recently brought up the idea of retiring as a wrestler.
Jillian Hall is seriously contemplating retirement from professional wrestling. The former WWE diva has not been booked frequently since leaving the company. Jillian did note that she was open to coming out of retirement if the opportunity to wrestle Melina Perez or Mickie James were to present itself.
Now that she has recovered from facial injuries that she sustained after falling down the stairs, Jillian Hall is ready to get back to work, as the WWE diva has started accepting bookings on the independent wrestling circuit again.
Jillian Hall was recently hospitalized after falling down the stairs at a house belonging to her boyfriend. She received quite a bit of damage to her face, but the former WWE diva revealed a picture on Twitter of her near complete recovery.
Jillian Hall has been hospitalized with head trauma. The former WWE diva stated that she had fallen down the stairs at her boyfriend's house, but it's uncertain if that reasoning was a serious tweet or just a joke.
Prior to the two of them working together in WWE, Jillian Hall was trained by Fit Finlay.

Acupuncture After Tonsillectomy0
Acupuncture After Tonsillectomy: A Safe Alternative to Treat Pain in Children After Tonsillectomy
For thousands, having their tonsils removed is one event that can disrupt the pleasant carefree spirit of childhood, albeit temporarily. It is a very common procedure, though not one that is embraced by both parents and children alike as it can bring about great discomfort and pain. While it does bring relief in the long run, recovery time after surgery can be unpleasant. Prescribing codeine used to be the standard to combat pain and discomfort. As of early last year, the FDA banned codeine for this purpose. Other pain-relieving alternatives have to be sought, and acupuncture after tonsillectomy may be a viable option for children.
It was ascertained that codeine could cause severe complications when used for pain management after a tonsillectomy in children, and hence the FDA ban. Physicians have been trying to find an adequate replacement to ease postsurgical pain in children. One ENT specialist discovered that acupuncture is a safe, easy, and affordable solution. A trial including 31 children of varying ages found that acupuncture relieved symptoms almost immediately. Upon following up with parents, it was also noted that the treatment lasted more than two days. The use of an alternative drug-free therapy over a narcotic has its appeal, especially when it comes to younger children.
In the past, over-the-counter pain relieving medications, such as ibuprofen, have been used to ease post-surgery pain in children but with little success as they can cause severe complications in very young patients. Finding a safe alternative that is just as effective is something many in the ENT field are excited about. Similar studies are underway to help determine if acupuncture would have the same results in children undergoing other types of surgery as well. In the meantime, physicians will continue to take advantage of these findings and employ them when it comes to their smallest patients and mindfully recommend acupuncture after tonsillectomy to parents.
Ear Tube Surgery0
Is Ear Tube Surgery Worth the Benefits?
When a child has fluid in their middle ear, parents are faced with a big decision. Do they choose to take the risk of ear tube surgery and put in ear tubes or do they wait and see? New research is causing doctors to reconsider their positions on this subject.
Researchers looked at cases of children who suffered from otitis media with effusion, or OME, and subsequently who had ear tube surgery. They found that while this procedure improved hearing for a time and relieved some of the pain, putting in ear tubes, in the long run, did not amount to the effects they were hoping for. The improvements in hearing ability as a result of ear tube surgery only lasted less than a year.
Fluid in the middle ear can cause pain and hearing loss, but the fluid itself does not carry an infection. OME affects most children and has at least one case in their childhood years. It is the leading cause for ear tube surgery. One technique is to make a small cut and insert a tube to relieve pain by draining fluid and decreasing pressure. At times this procedure is coupled with another where tissue is removed from the throat. Treatment results were seen to last up to two years. The conclusion of the case review was that while these types of procedures can have positive short-term effects, they do not really make a difference in the long-term development of speech and hearing.
When weighing their options for ear tube surgery, parents should consider the possible positive effects and the short-term improvements in their child's life against the possible risks that come with undergoing surgery. In the studies, researchers were also hoping to find what the effects of these types of procedures would be on adults, but unfortunately the results were inconclusive.
Airflow Airplane Technology0
Better Airflow Airplane Technology Leads to Better Breathing
Advancement in avionics is leading to advancements in healthcare as well. Patients that suffer from pulmonary problems may be able to breathe easier thanks to developments in airplane design. Better airflow airplane technology is helping people with respiratory conditions to breathe easier.
There is a science that studies how algorithms can affect the flow of air or liquid. These computer codes help airflow for airplanes. Since it has been successful, many consider using these algorithms to be more cost-effective than using models. Recently, researchers have started applying this science, also known as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), to study the flow of air in the body, especially as it relates to problems involving the respiratory system. Conditions like asthma and sleep apnea may find new treatments thanks to these algorithms.
The respiratory system is a channel made up of different parts, some firm and others not, that distribute oxygen throughout the body. Many disorders related to disruption of oxygen circulation are caused by the more delicate structures being deformed or even collapsing. Disorders that result can range from annoying to life-threatening.
Researchers are now using the airplane science of CFD and its computer codes to examine medical data taken from people that have respiratory conditions. With the help of MRI, these algorithms allow physicians to better assess problems and recommend relevant treatments to patients. This practice has led to an increased success rate of surgery as well as a decrease in the number of unneeded surgeries being performed.
In the past, doctors have only been relying on clinical diagnosis and medical imaging machines to view the respiratory landscape. Since every case is different and there might be normal variants of a person's airway, success rates of treatment and surgery were somewhat limited. With airflow airplane technology algorithm, or CFD, physicians can better tailor their treatments to the needs of each patient.
Strep versus Sore Throat0
Strep versus Sore Throat: Learn the Difference Here
When school is in session, outbreaks of strep throat can be common. Determining whether this common childhood infection is actually strep or just a sore throat can be challenging. Some parents may not be sure what the differences are or how to determine when to take a child to the doctor for treatment. Here are some things to keep in mind when weighing the differences between strep versus sore throat.
To start, a sore throat is generally caused by a virus. Usually, it will manifest along with other symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose. There is no medicine that will cure a viral infection, so it generally just has to run its course. While they may be similar, there are marked variations between a strep and a virally induced sore throat.
Strep throat is caused by a bacterial infection. It is contagious, and this is one reason it spreads so quickly, particularly among little ones. Sneezing, coughing, and inadequate handwashing are some ways the infection can be spread. Generally, an infection leading to strep throat is treated with antibiotics. Symptoms may include fever, swollen tonsils, nausea, difficulty swallowing, and white and red patches on the throat. When these symptoms present themselves, it is a good idea to call the pediatrician. A swab test can be done to determine if there is in fact a strep infection. Plenty of rest, fluids, and a course of antibiotics are generally all that is needed to have children back to a normal routine.
The question often arises as to whether a child should have their tonsils removed in cases of frequent strep infection. Research has shown that this may be advisable when infections occur more than seven times in one year, or several times in two consecutive years. Talking to your pediatrician is best when making such a decision.
Knowing the differences between strep versus sore throat can save parents an emergency visit expense, but when in doubt always consult a medical professional.
Tonsillectomy for Adults0
Not Just a Procedure for Children: The Benefits of Tonsillectomy in Adults
Some children are prone to sore throats, strep throat, and tonsillitis. At times, these types of conditions are frequent enough that they warrant a tonsillectomy. This can prove to be a blessing for children as it brings much wanted relief. What about adults? A percentage of the adult population complains of frequent and painful sore throat. Missing days from work and school accumulate, and overall quality of life can be hindered. Is tonsillectomy for adults a reasonable solution to the problems experienced? An independent study was done that may shed some light on the topic.
European researchers found a group of individuals willing to participate in the study. Eighty-six patients who complained of frequent sore throat were closely studied. Forty-six of these participants elected to have a tonsillectomy. The others were part of the control group. Follow-up after the procedure was done at five months. Seeing as the patients chose to undergo surgery, the results may reflect a bias. Nevertheless, researchers are certain there was an overall improvement in condition.
For those who had their tonsils removed, only one complaint of a sore throat was made. When compared to the control group, where 80 percent complained of a sore throat at some point within those five months, there is a marked difference. Those who opted to have the tonsillectomy also showed improved numbers when it came to the amount of days from work and school missed.
While a tonsillectomy may be mostly associated with juvenile-associated sore throat, there is a slight advantage to opting for the procedure later on in life. For those adults who suffer from chronic pharyngitis or sore throat, this may be the help they have been looking for. Being a unique study, researchers intend to look a bit further into tonsillectomy for adults later in life.
Benefits of CPAP Therapy0
CPAP Saves Lives of Patients with OSA and COPD
New research is showing that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) could help people who suffer from both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Both types of patients exhibited benefits of CPAP therapy by expressing relieved symptoms, with decreased risk of death retrospectively.
In reviewing a study that was conducted over a three-year period, and included over 200 patients, it showed OSA and COPD sufferers who used CPAP every night have less than 8 percent risk of dying compared to those who don't use the treatment. Those who used CPAP occasionally or seldomly still had a slightly higher survival rate than those who never used CPAP therapy. In this case, some use is better than no use at all. Even the researchers were surprised at the fact that any time logged using the treatment at night had a positive result.
The main cause of COPD, both chronic bronchitis and emphysema, in people is cigarette smoking. COPD cause an obstruction of airflow and restricts breathing. In the United States, chronic respiratory diseases, particularly COPD, is the third highest cause of death. In addition, OSA is relatively common. It affects as much as 7 percent of males and 5 percent of women. Obstructive sleep apnea consists of periods of time during sleep when all or part of the upper air path is blocked, even though the body continues to try to breathe.
CPAP is proving to be the best treatment option for those that suffer from OSA. It gives an ongoing flow of air through the airway by means of a mask. This airflow keeps that channel open that would otherwise be blocked. COPD sufferers, along with medications, receive benefits of CPAP therapy as much-needed oxygen is delivered throughout the body and keeps constricted airways open.
Even if CPAP users only gain a slight advantage in survival rate, it's still worth it if it means more years to a life.
Infant Pneumonia Vaccine0
A Childhood Vaccine that Actually Protects Everyone
New studies have revealed that children and infants immunized with the pneumococcal vaccine prevented the spread of pneumonia to adults. The practice of infant pneumonia vaccine against certain bacteria has eliminated 1 out of 10 cases of the elderly being hospitalized with pneumonia.
Pneumonia—an infection of the lungs—is one of the leading causes of hospitalization in the United States. Even adults who do not get vaccinated benefit from infants who are. The logic follows: If the baby does not get sick, family members cannot get sick, and thus they cannot pass it onto others. Some medical experts even believe the indirect protection that the infant pneumonia vaccine confers to adults—also known as herd immunity—is more effective than the pneumococcal vaccine that is designed for adults.
Researchers retrospectively looked at rate of pneumonia vaccinations over the last decade and found four out of 10 cases of children aged two or under being hospitalized for pneumonia were virtually eliminated since the infant pneumonia vaccine mandate. What's more, the number of adults hospitalized for pneumonia, especially those 65 years of age and older, reduced dramatically.
The bacteria that cause pneumonia can live incognito in a person and the infected person is asymptomatic. Children are often carriers and can pass the bacteria on to older family members, especially to grandparents. The current pneumonia vaccine for children protects against more than 10 types of bacteria that could cause the infection.
The infant pneumonia vaccine initiative was very successful, lowering the cases of ear aches and other types of infections as well. Nevertheless, some experts wonder if by cleaning out this type of bacteria the vaccine is just making room for another pathogen to settle in. More study in this field is required to verify if that can happen. For now, pneumonia hospitalizations are on the decline.
Antacids May Reduce Throat Cancer Risk0
Cancer Alert! Chronic Heartburn May Be an Early Warning Sign of Certain Cancer Types
We usually associate vocal cord and other throat cancers with bad habits, like smoking and alcohol abuse. Chronic heartburn, however, may be a far more accurate forerunner of these types of cancers. What did a recent study reveal to be the best way to protect yourself if you face heartburn issues regularly? Is it medication prescribed by a physician? Believe it or not, antacids may reduce throat cancer risk.
But, haven't previous studies attempting to connect throat and larynx cancer to acid reflux proven inconclusive? While this is true, those studies were all on a very small scale and didn't factor in many variables. The study in question is comprehensive, involving many individuals over a longer period of time. Over 1,800 people participated in the study, with approximately two thirds of those individuals serving as the control group.
The participants were surveyed to learn more about factors in their life that could result in various throat cancers, including their personal habits, family and medical histories, and certain demographic information. They also had to be tested for HPV 16 antibodies, since HPV has been linked to throat cancers and could have skewed study results.
In the end, the study revealed a 78 percent greater risk of the predicted forms of cancers for those with chronic heartburn, even if they didn't use alcohol or cigarettes. On the other hand, those who used antacids to fight their heartburn saw a 41 percent decrease in risk. The antacid users did not take prescription drugs to fight the condition nor were they using homeopathic remedies.
While more research is needed, these initial results seem to indicate antacids may reduce throat cancer risk, particularly among high risk individuals. The study findings may also help doctors identify and screen people who are at higher risk for throat and vocal cord cancers for early intervention.
Calling From The Opposite Hemisphere0
Which Ear Do You Use When Taking a Call?
Really, it is your brain that makes the decision rather than which ear you favor or which hand you prefer to hold your phone with. The reason is because of the way that your ears connect to your brain.
Believe it or not, the speech center of the brain can be on either side. The fact is, however, for nearly 19 out of 20 of us, this is on the left side. Brain hemispheres coordinate with the opposite side of the body. This accounts for why the majority of people are both right handed and talk with the phone held up to their right ear.
Researchers intend to use this information in a number of ways. For example, for many years, there have been concerns over the connection between cell phone use and brain tumors. Since the majority of people hold cell phones to their right ear, you would expect more brain tumors to be focused on that side. So far, researchers are seeing that the only factor that really connects cell phone use and brain tumors is the sheer amount of phone use. Neck cancer does not seem to be related to cell phone use.
Another phenomenon that researchers are looking into is the fact that people use their right hand as well as their right ear. For a right handed person, this seems to make little sense, since they are tying up their dominant hand, which could be used for note-taking or other activities.
5,000 individuals were a part of a study that involved cell phone use and which side of the brain a person's speech center was on. The individuals were already undergoing tests to determine the location of their speech center for one reason or another. The results were then compared to a survey in which individuals revealed which ear they usually hold their phone to. In the study, 68% percent of people who favored their right hand also favored their right ear for phone calls. For lefties, 72% stuck to their dominant side. The study didn't just show that a person wanted to use their dominant hand, but that they wanted to use the ear the correlated with the dominant side of their brain.
Diagnosing Vocal Problems0
The Difficulty in Diagnosing Voice Problems
There are many people who rely on a consistent voice to make a living. Performers need to sound the same on stage, night after night; just as they do in the recording studio, take after take. Voice actors need to sound the same in every episode they record. Television stars have to sound the same from week to week. But the arts aren't the only jobs that require a consistent voice. Lawyers need to be able to speak convincingly and at an audible volume day after day in court. Teachers need to be heard by their classes. Public speakers also rely on their voice, and the list goes on and on. So what happens when voice issues start to occur? Diagnosing the issue quickly can be very difficult.
The fact is that there are a large number of conditions that can cause voice changes, and not all of those underlying causes are physical. True, diseases, cysts, muscle tension, or nodules may be to blame. It is also possible, however, for the voice issues to be psychological. In fact, anxiety is a frequent cause of vocal changes. So what are the keys to diagnosis?
Often, the combination of an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat specialist) and a therapist will be used to make a faster diagnosis. The ear, nose, and throat doctor will look for physical damage and obstructions to the vocal chords using a stroboscopy, or other tests that measure the acoustics of the vocal chords. The therapist will probe for signs of a psychological cause of the vocal issues.
Individuals who suffer from voice problems generally need a personalized solution due to the sheer variety of potential causes of the problem. A combination of medications, surgery, or therapy may be the solution to your problem, and the key to getting your voice back to where your job needs it to be.

What does it mean to be a Sedona resident? What defines the lifestyle of a Sedonan?
Each year, Sedona Red Rock News attempts to answer those questions with the publication of our annual magazine, Lifestyles of Sedona, and each year it's a new adventure.
The purpose of the publication is to highlight groups, organizations and activities that define the lifestyle we all enjoy in Sedona. From clubs and organizations to schools, activities and the featured couple, Lifestyles touches on all aspects of life in Sedona.
The first task when planning for the magazine begins by identifying a couple who represents a distinct Sedona lifestyle.
In the past, we've featured families, young professionals, tennis players, golfers, mountain bikers and equestrians. This year, we selected a couple who lives and works side-by-side helping residents and visitors at Red Rock State Park.
Mark and Janice Perry are site hosts at the park, located on the banks of Oak Creek, off Red Rock Loop Road. As site hosts, the Perrys live in their RV at the park as volunteers — Janice in the Visitors Center and
Mark in the information booth. Both answer questions for visitors and serve as the first face of Sedona to thousands of first-time visitors.
This year's publication also celebrates the past, present and future of Sedona with stories about Chamber Music Sedona and the Sedona International Film Festival, the completion of the Sedona Fire District's new Station No. 6 and the Sedona Main Street Program's community events.
Verde Valley Sanctuary, Cliff Castle Casino and Verde Valley Medical Center also made this year's magazine along with the Sedona Public Library and Sedona Heritage Museum.
Our intention with regard to Lifestyles is to honor the people who make the community the diverse, exciting and comforting place we all call home, and give outsiders a glimpse at what it means to be a Sedona resident.
Sedona is home to cowboys, philanthropists, volunteers, athletes, movie buffs, artists, historians, educators, civic leaders and entertainers — and we've done our best to showcase each of those lifestyles in 30 pages.
We hope you enjoy reading Lifestyles as much as we enjoy putting it together each year.

Upset with judges they say ignore the law, state lawmakers voted Thursday to make it harder for those in this country illegally to get released on bail if they're accused of certain crimes.
The legislation expands Proposition 100, a measure approved last year by voters that says bail must be denied to any illegal immigrant charged with a serious crime when there is strong proof or presumption that the person is guilty.
It spells out that a judge must believe only there is "probable cause'' the person is here illegally. And it would require the court to consider any relevant information, including hearsay evidence, in making that determination.
Rep. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, said SB1265 is necessary because judges are finding ways to rule there is not enough evidence to conclude someone is an illegal immigrant. He said there are cases where bail is set even when defendants admit they are here illegally.
The measure gained preliminary approval on a voice vote, despite objections of several legislators who said this could result in U.S. citizens being denied bail solely because they speak Spanish.
Pearce said he is unconcerned. He said the determination of legal status would come only after a court concludes there is reason to believe the person is guilty of the crime accused.
"Public safety is paramount," he said. "You ought to be erring on the side of holding people without bond if they're in this country illegally and they've committed serious felonies."
Pearce said there is little problem at a defendant's initial court appearance, when magistrates generally deny bail to those who apparently are here illegally.
But he said that, at least in Maricopa County, more than 85 percent of defendants initially denied bail based on Prop. 100 are allowed by a judge to post bond and go free.
Pearce said "common sense" can help determine whether the person is an illegal immigrant.
Rep. Peter Rios, D-Dudleyville, said he feared Pearce's "common sense'' approach is going to cast a wider net than just immigrants.
"We're going to get some people caught up in that process that are U.S. citizens," he warned. "Simply because they speak Spanish or simply because they have dark hair — they're going to be detained and not eligible for bail.''
He preferred an alternative requiring a "preponderance of evidence'' that the person is in this country illegally. That is generally defined as a standard where there is more evidence one way than the other.

November 27, 2014
Lawmakers gave first-round approval Thursday to a bill intended to reduce the number of incarcerated juveniles in Nebraska and shift the state's focus to treatment.
Sen. Brad Ashford introduced the measure, which passed 39-0, as part of a broader overhaul of the state's juvenile-justice system. The proposal would require that criminal charges against minors would first be filed in juvenile court. Prosecutors could then seek to transfer a case to adult court by filing a motion and a hearing would be held in juvenile court.
A recent study by the Juvenile Justice Institute found that 45 percent of youths charged in Nebraska between 2010 and 2011 were prosecuted as adults. Advocate say the vast majority are charged with misdemeanors.
