At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To detect the presence of an infection caused by toxin-producing Clostridium difficile bacteria
When to Get Tested?
When a person has mild, moderate, or severe diarrhea that persists for several days with abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and fever, following antibiotic therapy
Sample Required?
A fresh or refrigerated liquid or unformed stool sample that has not been contaminated with urine or water
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
These tests detect an infection of the digestive tract by toxin-producing Clostridium difficile. These are bacteria that may be present as part of the normal bacterial flora in the digestive tract; they are present in up to 65% of healthy infants and 3% of healthy adults. Sometimes, when broad-spectrum antibiotics are used to treat infections, the balance of the normal flora in the digestive tract is disrupted. Normal bacterial flora that are susceptible to the antibiotic are eliminated from the digestive tract, while C. difficile that are resistant to the antibiotic remain and begin to overgrow, or new types (strains) of C. difficile are acquired.
The strain of C. difficile that is present may produce two toxins: toxin A and toxin B. The resulting combination of decreased normal flora, overgrowth of C. difficile, and toxin production can damage the lining of the lower portion of the digestive tract (colon) and lead to severe inflammation of the colon and prolonged diarrhea. Dead tissue, fibrin, and numerous white blood cells can form a lining over the surface of the inflamed bowel (a pseudomembrane), a condition that is referred to as pseudomembranous colitis.
Production of toxin by C. difficile is the most common cause of diarrhea in people who develop diarrheal symptoms while hospitalized. C. difficile toxin is detected in the stools of up to 20-30% of those with antibiotic-associated diarrhea and greater than 95% of those with pseudomembranous colitis. While the organism is frequently carried by infants, it does not usually cause diarrhea in this population. The risk of being symptomatic increases with age and increases in those who have weakened immune systems, have acute or chronic colon conditions, have been previously affected by C. difficile, or who have had recent gastrointestinal surgery or chemotherapy. C. difficile-associated diarrhea usually occurs in people who have been taking antibiotics for several days, but it can also occur several weeks after treatment is completed.
C. difficile-associated disease is a spectrum of illness ranging from mild diarrhea to a more severe colitis, or to toxic megacolon or perforated bowel, which can result in sepsis and death. Signs and symptoms may include frequent loose stools, abdominal pain and cramps, nausea, fever, dehydration, fatigue, and high white blood cell count (leukocytosis). Treatment typically involves discontinuing use of the original antibiotic and administering specific oral antibiotic therapy to which the C. difficile is susceptible. Most people improve as the normal flora re-establish, but about 12-24% of those affected may have a second episode within 2 months.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A fresh liquid or unformed stool sample is collected in a sterile container. The stool sample should not be contaminated with urine or water. Once it has been collected, the stool should be taken to the laboratory immediately or refrigerated and taken to the lab as soon as possible.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

Picking A Generic RPG System
I'm looking for something that's easy to learn, uses some manner of skills and traits, allows for at least semi-crunchy combat, doesn't have a huge list of situational rules for special events, possibly using a point-buy system, that makes sense when you think about it. Should be easy, eh?
I've put the candidates thus far into various divisions. These are the games (with the exception of the Final Four) that I've decided I won't be using this go-around:
The No Chemistry Division
GURPS 4e—I respect the system, but it's never clicked for me. Probably won't start now.
HERO—See above.
JAGS—Yeah, I get about halfway to the point where I'm going to pick up and run JAGS or JAGS-2 again, then it all falls apart. It's like that ex-girlfriend you keep thinking about getting back with, then you go out together, and you have nothing to say to each other. I love everything about JAGS except....JAGS, apparently. Wait, that's not right. I love the thought of JAGS? There—I have now put more thought into my relationship with a role playing game than that with several exes. Happy?
Cortex—Still reading. Not digging it right now.
The Too Pretentious To Seriously Consider Division
The Window—OK, so it sounds like the author has mellowed over the years. But this is too rules-light anyways, I think. But I can never get past the writing. That's a shame when a product allows that to happen.
The RPGnet Sweetheart Division
Wushu—Automatically eliminated by merit of it being recommended at 114,567 times a year at RPGnet whether it actually meets the criteria for what people want or not. RPGnet Wushu fans, if given a chance, will recommend Wushu to you not only as an RPG, but as a dietary supplement, living will template, breakfast cereal, and a political manifesto for Bolivian Leftists. As an afterthought, I will add it is way too loosey-goosey for what I'm after.
The Crunch-Lites
PDQ/PDQ#--I really, really enjoy the PDQ system. But it's a little light on structure for this go-around. I think I want to run Swashbucklers of the 7 Skies at Gen Con, though!
FUDGE—For me, FUDGE was never quite as solid as FATE. And I've decided I don't like FUDGE dice.
FATE—Even though the 3.0 version of FATE is a little more fleshed out, I think we're going with something a little more traditional this time around.
The Eric Gibson Has Killed It For Me Division
d6—Right now, I'm just so tired of the crap surrounding the on-again, off-again drama of d6, I don't even want to look at d6. It isn't the system's fault, but I'm tired of it right now.
The Just Outside Division
Iridium Lite—I have an on-again, off-again project I've been using Iridium Lite for. I really think I need a break. The system is fun, and makes sense. But not this time.
Savage Worlds—Yeah, it's nothing against one of the hottest rulesets on the market, but I don't think it'd work for my current gaming circle. Another time, perhaps?
The Final Four
GenreDiversion3—How can you not like Precis Intermedia? All they do is make solid, affordable gaming products. In baseball, GD3 would be that guy who reliably hits .275 every year, is decent in the field, and can be counted on for about 16-17 home runs. I've got a few concerns regarding scalability, but let's see how another read goes.
Basic Roleplaying—Basic Roleplaying is fantastic. It's got a Quick Start version—always a plus, and the system has been around so long for a reason. It's easy to add options to, but I'm not totally sure I'm sold on combat or roll-under. And I don't know that I want to put the time in to customize just now.
EABA—This is a system I hadn't messed with in a while, and in reading it again, it really made a lot of sense. I love the Universal Chart, I love the simplicity and scalability, I love the points-buy scheme (I think). Let's see if I remember why I put it aside or not.
Mini Six—Somewhat free of the d6 fallout I mentioned above, Mini Six has a lot of good things going for it: easy to pick up, short, and free. If my current d6 hangover doesn't kill it, this may be it.
So, that's it. I have a lot more reading to do. I've already flipped through a lot of other free systems aside from the ones mentioned above, but unless something new comes across my radar this week, one of those is it.

I hope you don't mind when I comment on a few of the games mentioned here:
Cortex - I have to admit I like it very much. It has a lot of things in common with Savage Worlds, but it's skills system has a bit more granularity, which is a good thing. You really should give it a second look.
Wushu - Haha, I just wrote a review about this game. I think it could be fun, but it's probably not suited for every setting. And I think it probably works better with one-shots than full-blown campaigns.
PDQ/PDQ# - I highly recommend giving PDQ a try. It's a great narrative game. But since you are looking for semi-crunchy combat, it's probably not the right choice for you.
FATE - Definitely my favorite game that I never actually played. I really hope I can change that when the Dresden Files RPG comes out.
Savage Worlds - I love SW. Yes, I do. I even plan to name my firstborn after it! ;)
BRP - A solid choice. Especially if you look for an easy to learn system that's not too "indie". BRP is a classic system that has aged pretty well if you ask me. It's still one of my favorites.
MiniSix - The best implementation of the D6 system on 8 pages! 'Nuff said! :)
EABA - I have heard it is pretty good. I think I should check this out, too.
- February 8, 2010 at 7:50 AM
- Rob Lang said...
Superb post! You've certainly included all the big systems I could think of.
By your list, you're almost implying that there isn't a free crunchy generic system. I can't think of one. Can any of your readers? Stargazer?
- February 8, 2010 at 7:55 AM
- Stargazer said...
I have to admit I usually avoid systems that are too crunchy. As I said before, I am a pretty lazy GM. I need simple systems. :)
But I am sure there are some extremely crunchy free games around. Wasn't FUZION pretty close to the HERO?
- February 8, 2010 at 8:01 AM
- Zachary The First said...
Thanks for the comments, guys! Really, a lot of free RPG systems are less crunchy. FUZION and JAGS both have some fiddly bits, as does Hinterwelt's Iridium system. It just seems when it comes to free RPGs, for every rules-medium or rules-heavy one there is, there are 3 rules-light ones.
My post wasn't strictly about free generic RPGs, just generic ones, but an interesting point!
- February 8, 2010 at 8:07 AM
- Tim Brannan said...
Have you considered Unisystem?
The Cinematic version has skills, point buys, crunch combat that is still very easy and one simple rule mechanic. All you need is a d10.
If you prefer more crunch there is the Classic Unisystem.
Both are pretty much my go-to games for everything.
- February 8, 2010 at 8:17 AM
- Zachary The First said...
Yeah, it's been a long time since I tooled around with Unisystem. Honestly, I didn't like something about it, though it now escapes me precisely what that was...
- February 8, 2010 at 8:31 AM
- Stu said...
instant fuzion for fast playing and normal fuzion if you want that extra level.. I much prefer instant fuzion tho.
- February 8, 2010 at 9:10 AM
- Rob Conley said...
Too bad about GURPS. It's basic form is pretty straight forward. They still have the 3rd edition GURPS Lite and the difference between 3e and 4e are inches. Perhaps that would make it click for you.
- February 8, 2010 at 9:10 AM
- WalkerP said...
Very interesting and helpful post, Zach. I agree with a lot of your assessment (and your hilarious grouping titles), except the final four, most of whom I was never able to really get into for some reason or another.
But I do have one question, intrigued as I am on the Mini D6. Would you say it is crunchier than PDQ? How would you compare the two?
- February 8, 2010 at 9:24 AM
- Zachary The First said...
@Rob: You know, I love GURPS sourcebooks, but GURPS Lite both 3e and 4e never do it for me. I can't precisely tell you why, which is frustrating.
@WalkerP: Mini Six is perhaps just a little more potentially crunchy, being a distillation of the d6 concepts.
- February 8, 2010 at 10:21 AM
- James V said...
I've always liked Risus. Though I would say by your criteria, it's way too light.
- February 8, 2010 at 11:06 AM
- Zachary The First said...
I LOVE Risus. It's the best easy pick-up one-shot RPG of all time. But yep, you guessed it.
- February 8, 2010 at 11:57 AM
- Vincent said...
I'm fiddling around with Mini Six (and Savage Worlds) right now, so I'd love to see you dig into Mini Six, which I think is All of the Above :)
BRP is definitely something to consider (I sure want to love it), but I had concerns about how much I'd have to front end for creatures, vehicles and so forth.

@Vincent: Mini Six is fun, and it may be that I end up using it. Then again, my d6 burnout may extend to it. Either way, I'd love to see it reformatted into a slightly cleaner presentation—I think it has a really good thing going for it right now, and that would only help.

I'm not incredibly familiar with a lot of systems, but I've got a couple comments. I agree that the writing of the Window system is quite pretentious. I was amused by how in one part they said "It's bad to describe attributes in terms of numbers," and then turned around and did just that in their sample character sheets. At the same time, I do think it's an interesting approach, and one that merits some look.
Wushu is definitely not a crunchy system, although if you're looking to play it, check out Wushu Reloaded, which suggests a mindset that's very conducive towards more serious games as well as actiony fun one-shots.
I think that crunchy systems are very hard to model, generically. If you want to be able to tackle any genre, the rules have to be heavily expansive, which tends to make them clunky. I'm a big fan of genre-specific rules, because I feel that each genre has a distinct feel to it, and that it's best to take that feel and then explore around with it.

Whoa-hoa-HO, chief -- there's a baby innat bathwater.
You know you love you some D6, man. Just roll up your sleeves, swish away the Gibson and pluck that game outta there.
What's that? You can't? Okay, GD3 then. I approve of it; what else do you need? NOTHING, that's what. I'M FREAKIN' DOC ROTWANG!! That's like saying "No" to The Pope!
I'm with Vincent on the BRP thing. It's a swell game but does request a chunk of prep -- unless you feel like Shemping a lot.

GD3 is pretty sweet, Doc.
How can one say no to the Gaming Pope? Unless I am, in fact, Gaming Martin Luther. Hmm....

Nice post.
Free and crunchy? What about Tri-Stat dX? The basic rules are simple, but it has a complete power system that can handle superpowers, magic, vehicle construction, etc.
As for the Final Four, I'd go for EABA like a shot. Great game system, especially when combined with Stuff.

It's amazing how many generic systems there are, huh? I will give Tri-Stat another look-see.

I want to hear progress reports on this! I'm going through the same process myself. BRP is my current front runner, but I'm not sure if it really qualifies as universal - sure it can do a lot of things, but mixing them together is more complicated than it appears at first glance. So if you want a vampire, say, working with humans, that may be tough to balance.
I'm going to check out some of the systems mentioned here, so keep us up to date on your search.

Will do, Sean!

That's a really useful round up, and of the systems I have looked at pretty much echoes my own views. I will have to try and get hold of the others and have a look at them.

having used fuzion a lot, I found when I checked out other generic systems it was so much a case of similiar but not different enough to evolve away from fuzion and use something else.
if your already familiar with a generic system you may find it not worth the trouble to go with something else.
I looked over gdi/gd3, cortex (which I really didnt like), iridium core+light, tristat, d6, brp, sw, etc. I guess their genericness lends so much similarity to them all.
Nothing was compelling enough or different enough that would get me to move. Being able to use cutdown fast play instant fuzion or crunch full fizion gives me all I need.
If you have not checked fuzion out in a long time, the current free ruleset (v5) is much better than the old old v4.
Also OpenCore is pretty nice (OGL rename of ActionSystem!, which was theft of Fuzion and slapping an OGL on it...).

Yeah, but your system is really generic--it skews towards fantasy, IIRC. I believe your shattered psyche will yet recover. :)

Escape the crowds on this relatively unknown 11.5-mile loop trail in the western Yosemite Valley and be rewarded with views of Yosemite's major icons, including El Capitan, Bridalveil Fall and Sentinel Rock.
You may already know the story of North America's forgotten prairie: 170 million acres of native grasslands nearly lost in just one generation, precipitating the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.
Whether you're new to the board or an experienced surfer, you'll love ditching the crowds to chase waves on these clean, protected beaches across the country.
Chances are you've "seen" the Grand Canyon, either in photos or actually standing along the South Rim, peering down into the indescribable abyss.
South Florida. Palm trees frame postcard views of boats slicing through blue-green water as swooping birds cry overhead.
There are some national park secrets that are only revealed in the winter. And each park offers different adventures to discover. Yellowstone National Park, for example, is a snow-lover's paradise with a host of active options.
From snowshoeing, cross country skiing and winter bird watching to the annual National Christmas Tree Lighting, rides on the Polar Express and warm apple cider, our national parks certainly know how to celebrate winter and the holiday season!

SCDOR arrests man in Horry County for state tax evasion
Columbia, SC (October 16, 2012) --- Officials from the SC Department of Revenue today arrested David S. Mitchell for three charges of state income tax evasion for tax years 2007, 2008 and 2009.
While a resident of Horry County, David S. Mitchell, a timeshare salesman, failed to file income tax returns for 2007 through 2009 and pay taxes due. Mitchell filed W4 withholding allowance certificates with his employer claiming to be exempt from withholding tax.
Mitchell evaded the assessment of state taxes on his gross income of $488,325; he therefore has an outstanding tax liability of $28,404 due to the state.
Mitchell, 46, could face penalties of up to $30,000 in fines and/or up to 15 years in prison if convicted of the charges. He is currently being held at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center in Conway pending a bond hearing.

I'm going to be running a demo of Dragon Age at a local gaming meetup group, and was looking for suggestions for a good scenario to run in a roughly 4-5 hour time slot. I have all of the published adventures for the game, but am happy to take a look at any fan made adventures if they are good. We'll be doing character generation, so I'm looking for something that works for 1st level PCs.
I'm going to run a short game of DA for my home group as well, but plan to just use Dalish Curse for that one.

ASHBURN, Va. - The Washington Redskins are raising general admission ticket prices for the first time in seven years.
The team announced Thursday that most of the seats will increase in price no more than 10 percent.
The announcement gave no specific details. It did say that the team's ticket prices "remain among the most affordable in the NFC East" _ which consists of only four teams.
That's not all that's going up. The Redskins say it'll cost $40 to park at home games for the 2013 season.
The Redskins are coming off their first NFC East title since 1999, buoyed by the success of rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Renowned as the "Mind of the Renaissance," the genius of Leonardo da Vinci reaches beyond the centuries. Painter, sculptor, engineer and scientist, in each field da Vinci was both master and pioneer.

Against a backdrop of 15th century Italian opulence, DA VINCI AND THE CODE HE LIVED BY follows the original Renaissance man through glittering palaces of merchant princes, accusations of blasphemy, and whispers of betrayal and romance--all to satisfy a limitless desire for knowledge. From the producers of Nation of Islam and Barbarians, and available on DVD for the first time ever, DA VINCI AND THE CODE HE LIVED BY tells the remarkable story of one man's boundless talent, towering legacy, and courage in the face of powerful adversity.

text: I think that if they make class quests, they should use the same item level scaling like they do in Challenge Modes. Part of the problem with the old class quests is that they just became completely trivial as soon as you out leveled them (not to mention, completely unnecessary as Blizz eventually put other methods for getting those rewards in game). If item level scaling was used, it would make the quests relevant for a lot longer. This would also add to the 'prestige' idea that you were talking about in a weekly marmot awhile back. Like Challenge Modes, the rewards are cosmetic and everyone doesn't NEED to have them to progress. Additionally, if someone were to start playing that class later on, and didn't get a chance to do the quest when it came out, they could still experience it closer to how it was originally meant to be done. Now, I know that with different spells and things in expansions, it might make the encounters play out a bit differently... but I think it would still be worthwhile.

The U.S. Senate passes a more than $50 billion aid package for victims of Superstorm Sandy. Our Washington, D.C. bureau reporter Erin Billups has the details.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- With just enough votes, the $50.5 billion disaster aid bill for states affected by Hurricane Sandy was approved in the Senate, meaning three months after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the Northeast, significant aid is finally heading to the region.
"Passage of this bill will mean money for homeowners who lost everything and need to rebuild, small businesses whose doors are still closed but who must reopen and protections of our coastlines and vital infrastructures," said Senator Charles Schumer.
Even with the end in sight, New York and New Jersey lawmakers did not hide their frustration with a process bogged down by politics.
"Ninety-one days, 91 days in which people have not been able to get their lives back on track," said New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez.
Republican concerns with what they considered pork projects in the bill led to delays in the House and a slightly more modest package.
"The bill could have been better if they left in place what the Senate had written," Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said.
Just last week, the vote was delayed as senators squabbled over chamber rules.And even though the Senate passed a similar measure just before the new year, republicans still tried to amend the package, calling for cuts to discretionary funds to pay for the bill.
"We've got a trillion dollar budget deficit, $1.1 trillion to be precise, and we're just adding another $60 billion right on top of that," Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey said.
Once the president signs the disaster bill, the next task will be getting the aid into the right hands. Senator Schumer says from discussions he's had with the administration it's likely money for homeowners and small businesses will be dispersed quickly.
Schumer said, "The fact that governments, railroads and others know that the money is there will allow the rebuilding to occur so much more quickly."
"This is the beginning of seeing light at the end of a very dark tunnel," Gillibrand added.

This profile provides a rare insight into the brash comedian who is as famous for being hilarious as for turning his back on 50-plus million dollars.
- One of the most successful series in Cable TV history.
- Probing interviews and unforgettable footage illuminate the great stories behind great lives.
- A deep look at the unfettered comedian who has been nominated for three Emmy® Awards.

Oh, and he walked away from a television deal worth $50 million. Just... walked away.
This searching episode of BIOGRAPHY® digs deep to get to the root of this fascinating man. Learn of his early life growing up in Yellow Springs and Washington, DC. Trace his early career - launched at 14 at the legendary Apollo Theater - and his gradual rise to fame. Discover how, of all things, unwanted laughter drove him to reconsider his life's work, and find out what drove him to South Africa and what's next for him.

Spartans win golf sectional
With two of the top five individual golfers, Homestead easily won the Norwell girls' golf sectional title Saturday at Timber Ridge Golf Course in Bluffton.
The Spartans were led by Emily Olsen, who finished six strokes off the medalist pace of 76 set by Blackhawk Christian's Jaycee Bunner. Annie Butchko added an 86 for Homestead, which finished with a team score of 346.

AP Fashion Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Michelle Obama made it a fashion tradition Monday night, wearing a custom-made Jason Wu gown to the inauguration balls. The ruby-colored dress was a follow-up to the white gown Wu made for her four years ago when she was new to Washington, the pomp and circumstance, and the fashion press.
She now emerged in velvet and chiffon as a bona fide trendsetter.
"I can't believe it. It's crazy," said Wu, reached at his Manhattan studio. "To have done it once was already the experience of my life. To have a second time is tremendous."
President Barack Obama also struck a similar style chord to his first-term inaugural balls: He wore a white tie with his tuxedo.
The red halter dress was the only one Wu, who went from fashion insider to household name on this night in 2009, submitted for Mrs. Obama's consideration. He collaborated with jeweler Kimberly McDonald on the jeweled neckline. "For this occasion, it had to be real diamonds," Wu said.
He said he felt the dress showed how he has grown up as a designer -- and how Mrs. Obama's style has evolved to be even more confident.
The first family headed out to inaugural festivities earlier on Monday with Mrs. Obama leading a very coordinated fashion parade in a navy-silk, checkered-patterned coat and dress by Thom Browne that were inspired by a menswear necktie.
The outfit was specifically designed for Mrs. Obama, but Browne said he wasn't 100 percent sure she was going to wear it until she came out with it on at Inauguration. "I am proud and humbled," he said.
The rest of Mrs. Obama's Inauguration Day outfit included a belt from J. Crew, necklace by Cathy Waterman and a cardigan by Reed Krakoff, whose ensemble she also wore to yesterday's intimate, indoor swearing-in ceremony.
Obama wore a blue tie with his white shirt, dark suit and overcoat. Malia Obama had on a plum-colored J. Crew coat with the hemline of an electric-blue dress peeking out and a burgundy-colored scarf, and her younger sister Sasha had on a Kate Spade coat and dress in a similar purple shade.
"It is an honor that Sasha Obama chose to wear Kate Spade New York," said the company's creative director, Deborah Lloyd, in an email to the Associated Press. "She epitomizes the youthful optimism and colorful spirit of the brand. We are so proud to have been a part of this historic moment."
Jenna Lyons, creative director of J. Crew, said it was "a huge point of pride for all of us" to be a part of the day -- as the brand was back in 2009 when the girls wore outfits by CrewCuts, its children's label.
"It's amazing to see the evolution of the family. I love the way Michelle looks. She looks beautiful in something so clean and tailored. It's such an elegant choice," Lyons said, "and they all look so sophisticated! You can see how the girls have grown up in the four years, and they're still so alive and vibrant, but more sophisticated."
The vice president's wife, Jill Biden, wore a gray coat and dress by American designer Lela Rose.
Mrs. Obama has worn Browne's designs for other occasions, including a gray dress with black lace overlay to one of the presidential debates last fall, and she honored him last summer at the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards for his contribution to fashion.
Browne made his name in modern -- very modern -- menswear, but he launched womenswear in 2011. He was in Paris on Monday, just finishing previews for his next menswear collection. The idea to use the tie fabric came to him because he was indeed designing these men's clothes at the same time, he explained.
"I wanted 'tailored' for her. For me, she stands for strength and confidence, and that's what I wanted to design for her," he said.
Simon Collins, dean of the school of fashion at Parsons The New School for Design in New York, said the Obamas dressed in their typical fashion: one that shows pride in their appearance.
"They are a stylish couple and their children look fabulous. Too many people get dressed in the dark," he said. "They show it's good to dress up, take pride in how you look. ... It's a wonderful example for America and the rest of the world."
He also noted that the Obamas seem to understand that the fashion industry is a driving force in the U.S. economy and that its lobby is a powerful one. They don't treat fashion frivolously, he observed.

Craig Heist, wtop.com
Viera, Fla. - With the Nationals gearing up for their first Grapefruit League game on Saturday against the New York Mets in Port St. Lucie, the pitchers and hitters took part in the first live batting practice session of the spring.
We didn't get the Stephen Strasburg vs. Bryce Harper matchup we all wanted to see but Strasburg got his work in throwing to Tyler Moore, Roger Bernadina, Chad Tracy and Chris Snyder.
"I felt good," Strasburg said. "It felt good to be back out there and everything started to come back as I got deeper into it."
Strasburg threw mainly fastballs during his 37 pitch session but did manage to mix in a few off-speed pitches and he appeared to have a pretty sharp curve ball.
"Yea, it felt good," he said. "I hung a couple of first ones and then it really started to come back and I started to get a lot sharper as I went on."
Some hitters just take passes at pitches during these live batting practice sessions just to try and get their timing down while others will try and get some swings in. Each hitter is different in that way and Strasburg says it doesn't bother him one way or the other.
"Obviously, they are your teammates too so you want them to feel good about it so obviously, it's a little different out there in games in that you don't know what's coming. Same thing for them, they want to get in there and get a chance to time up some fastballs and get their timing down."
Tyler Moore was the first player to take some swings off the 15-game winner from a year ago.
"He looked really good," Moore said. "The ball was coming out of his hand electric, sharp curveball, heavy sink on the sinker and good sink on the change-up so I mean, it's everything you want out of one of your starters and everything you don't want to see as the hitter."
Gio responds to ESPN report
Several weeks ago the Miami New Times reported that Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez was linked to Anthony Bosch, who reportedly supplied performance-enhancing drugs to professional athletes.
Today, Gonzalez met with reporters outside the dugout at Space Coast Stadium to comment on an ESPN "Outside the Lines" report, which sites two sources as saying Gonzalez never received any banned substances from Bosch or his now closed Biogenesis anti-aging clinic.
Gonzalez didn't take any questions but did say, "I'm going to be honest with you guys, I haven't heard anything officially from MLB. I do plan on cooperating with them. I want to get this all done before the season starts. This is all new to me, guys. I do plan on getting ready and looking forward to spring training. I feel confident this is going to come out good."
The Nationals have not heard anything official from Major League Baseball, according to GM Mike Rizzo.
"We are still waiting on word from them and will hold our comments until we hear something official," he said.
Meanwhile, Gonzalez was happy with the way his bullpen session went on Wednesday.
"I felt great and the velocity is still there," he said. "You get some good news from the guys coming up to you and telling you how your fastball looks and it looks a little jumpy. But again, it's coming out there and you are pitching to live hitters and you try and tend to do too much but then again, my job is to control that and keep it composed."
"I was glad I was able to talk to Cat (pitching coach Steve McCatty) about my pitching mechanics and he doesn't feel like there is too much to work on. He feels comfortable I will make the adjustment for my next start and feel good."

Hey all,Not sure what everyone thinks of the new UI on the iPhone but I've found it a bit frustrating. My issue is that on the old UI I could launch the app, and it would go directly to my inbox. I could very quickly swipe out/postpone what I had/hadn't done. It was quick and painless. With the new app, I launch it, it always forces me to pick a list to view then it's a case of tapping and holding to complete/postpone which just doesn't feel smooth or quick in the slightest. I appreciate it has to be this way to have the tile-based UI, but it just doesn't feel smooth to me. Looking through the settings, I can't seem to find a way to change the default view on launch (so I instantly see my inbox when the app loads), is this the case or am I missing something? If not, would it be possible to see this ability added in?
Posted at 9:59am on August 8, 2012
Hi eddible,It's not currently possible to set a default view for the iPhone app, but I'll make sure the development team gets this for review.Thanks for your feedback on the app.

For those of you who don't know who John Squire is - I suggest you check out this video!!!!!!
For me, Johny Marr and John Squire are by far the two best guitarist of the 2013 Coachella line up. However, if push comes to shove and I had to name the best guitarist of the Coachella 2013 line up , well that would have to be John Squire. I'm just so glad the world is finally being exposed to such a talented Guitarist. John Squire is just totally awesome.
*bites tongue* I mean, you do realize how many other bands are on the lineup... right? To properly answer this question, you would need to spend months researching the topic. It's not just going to be your favorite band on the lineup. Sorry, bro. Flea is a better guitarist than Marr and Squire both. Easy.
Check out John Squire's awesome guitaring on this track, especially from 4.00 on wards. Pisses all over Flee big time baby.
Edit- Now that I've researched your evidence... you don't play any instruments at all, do you? There's nothing technically complicated about what he does. There's nothing standout about what he does. He's efficient. That's all. Not even quality efficient, like Clapton. Just okay. Flea is much more a visionary. To say that Squire's melodies are more repetitive than that of a bass player... think about it. Don't fly off the hinges with an uninformed response. Go research the discussion. Anyone who's been playing a guitar for three years can cover completely what Squire did in that song, though I don't see why anyone would want to.

Oh yeah....
Now disappear, smegmaphyte.
Edit- Someone should go post this video, or a similar video, in the best drummer thread to shut all those Stone Rose bums up. It's like not knowing is the only way of life they know.

Plant the right flowers for beautiful colors in dry conditions
Beautiful flowers need lots of water, right? Some do, but many others don't. Flower species that have lived for thousands of years in extreme weather conditions have developed survival skills for drought. Better yet, they look lovely. Choose the ones that are right for your area, and you could save lots of water in a growing season.

13" I-Bar Sealer with Heat Gun

Orbital cellulitis is an acute
infection of the tissues immediately surrounding the eye, including the eyelids, eyebrow, and cheek.
Orbital cellulitis is a dangerous infection with potentially serious complications.
Bacteria from a sinus infection (often Haemophilus influenzae) usually cause this condition in children. Orbital cellulitis due to this bacteria used to be much more common in young children up to age 6 - 7. However, such infection is now rare because of the HiB (Haemophilus influenzae B) vaccine.
The bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and beta-hemolytic streptococci may also cause orbital cellulitis.
Orbital cellulitis infections in children may get worse very quickly and can lead to blindness. Immediate medical attention is needed.
Symptoms of orbital cellulitis may include:
Tests commonly include:
Other tests may include:
The patient usually needs to stay in the hospital. Treatment includes antibiotics given through a vein. Surgery may be needed to drain the abscess
, or relieve pressure in the orbital space around and behind the eye.
An orbital cellulitis infection can get worse very quickly. The patient must be carefully checked every few hours.
With prompt treatment, the person can make a complete recovery.
Orbital cellulitis is an emergency that requires immediate treatment. Call your health care provider if there are signs of eyelid swelling, especially with a fever.
Receiving the HiB vaccine according to recommended schedules generally will prevent most haemophilus infections in children. Young children in the same household who have been exposed to this bacteria may receive antibiotics to prevent getting sick.
Proper detection and early treatment of sinus, dental, or other infections may prevent the spread of infection to the eyes.
