 A poet at age 11, David Meltzer began his literary career during the Beat heyday in San Francisco and early on took his poetry to jazz for improv wonders, which he continues to astound listeners with today. He is the author of many volumes of poetry including The Clown, The Process, Arrows: Selected Poetry, 1957 – 1992, No Eyes: Lester Young, Beat Thing, and David's Copy. City Lights published his most recent book, When I Was A Poet, as # 60 in the Pocket Poet's Series, and will publish his forthcoming Two-Way Mirror: A Poetry Notebook coming out in February 2015. Meltzer has edited numerous anthologies such as Reading Jazz, Writing Jazz, and San Francisco Beat: Talking with the Poets. He was also the lead singer and guitarist of the psychedelic folk-rock group Serpent Power, whose eponymous 1967 Vanguard Records LP was listed by Rolling Stone as one of the top 40 albums of the Summer of Love (which included a number of classic albums released that year, including Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles). He taught in the Humanities and graduate Poetics programs at the New College of California in San Francisco for 30 years. In 2011 he received the SF Bay Guardian's Lifetime Achievement Award. He is now performing in and around the Bay Area with his wife, poet Julie Rogers.

 A classic book of poetics by a major Beat Generation poet, published in a beautiful gift edition.

 "The poem is perhaps the highest verbal form of communication. It illuminates and it conceals. It is as precise and as vague as a mirror."—David Meltzer, Two-Way Mirror

 Two-Way Mirror is a classic book of poetics by Beat Generation poet David Meltzer. Written in short remarks, autobiographical anecdotes, and inspirational quotations drawn from philosophical, ethnographic, and literary sources, Two-Way Mirror is both a nondidactic guide to the art Meltzer has devoted his life to, and a literary pleasure in itself. Attractively bound and printed in a deluxe gift edition, and featuring Meltzer's collection of found artwork collaged from thrift-store grammar books, this new and expanded edition retains the charm of the original while updating it for the present day.

 Building upon the version he self-published in 1977, Meltzer has written additional material that considers the effect of technological developments since the book's publication, as well as an foreword in which he reflects on the history of the volume, its inception and its usefulness. With its various writing prompts, Two-Way Mirror has proven to be both inspirational and practical, a teaching tool and a guide to creativity that makes the perfect gift for poets at any stage of development.

 Praise for Two-Way Mirror:

 "David Meltzer had set out, when he was very young, to write a long poem called The History of Everything, an ambition that his later poetry brought ever closer to fulfillment. Here, in Two-Way Mirror, he shows us the underpinnings for such an enterprise: a brilliant & wise work as rich in insights & discoveries today as when it was first published in 1977. I know of no better amalgam of poetry & poetics & no better introduction to the ways in which poetry can emerge for us & lead us beyond ourselves & toward our own fulfillments. Meltzer's grace of mind & the life of poetry that surrounds it make the case complete."––Jerome Rothenberg

 "A great book of learning from a lifetime's thoughts of the poem. Ramble, scribble, tickle, lightbulb! Timely and highly worthwhile."—Clark Coolidge

 Praise for David Meltzer:

 "One of the greats of post-World War Two San Francisco poets and musicians. He brought music to poetry and poetry to music!"––Lawrence Ferlinghetti

 "David Meltzer is a hidden adept, one of the secret treasures on our planet. Great poet, musician, comic, mystic unsurpassed, performer with few peers. His ear and his erudiation are fine-tuned and precise. A kind of bop-perfection pervades his work."––Diane di Prima

GARY Waddock will wait as long as it takes in order to bring the right players into Oxford United.
The U's head coach has only so far signed striker Danny Hylton as he shapes his squad for next season's campaign.
But while several other Sky Bet League Two clubs have made numerous acquisition, Waddock is prepared to sit tight to ensure that any new faces fit the criteria he is looking for.
"There is an awful amount of hard work and preparation that is being done here, everyone can rest assured of that," he said.
"I'm like every other fan and in an ideal world the whole squad would be assembled the day after Northampton match.
"But that just doesn't happen.
"You can't just phone up a player, meet him the next day and get every- thing done and dusted straight away – that's not the way it is."
The United boss added: "It is crucial that we make sure we get the right kind of people in.
"We know the types of player we want and we are all working extremely hard to make sure that happens."
Waddock has held plenty of meetings with potential signings and their representatives and is hopeful of transfer activity in the near future.
But the former Wycombe Wanderers boss says he will not be rushed into anything.
"My phone has constantly been on charge with all the use it's getting at the minute," he said.
"I have had numerous meetings with players and agents.
"We've missed out on one or two and when that happens you have to start the whole process over again.
"But it's the busiest time of the year by far and it's all about getting the right players in, which I am confident we will do."
The U's squad report back for pre-season at the end of the month, and while their boss would like to have added to his squad by then, he appreciates there are advantages of playing a waiting game.
Players still without a contract often drop their demands the closer it gets to pre-season, and with many clubs having already spent most of their budget on new faces, others can pounce.
"That's certainly one positive," he commented.
"Players want to look at their options and see what's out there, of course they do.
"But at the back of their mind as pre-season looms is that they have not got a club and want to be involved somewhere.
"We have kept the majority of the squad from last season and we weren't far away, so it's a case of making sure the new additions are the right ones.
"I'm willing to be patient to make sure that's the case."

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A collection of antique postcards has been donated to the Cookeville History Museum by historian Ridley Wills II of Nashville.
Judy Duke, administrator of museums for the city, told the Cookeville Herald-Citizen that the small box full of postcards provides a thumbnail history of Cookeville.
Some of them will be displayed, most likely in the next year, after they are catalogued and archived. They show churches, homes, hotels, main streets and people.
The paper said Wills had collected postcards for more than three decades.

My main project at Dropbox has been a new automated build system (we call it Changes), mostly focused on code quality. Right now it's a very thick layer on top of Jenkins, which means we do a significant amount of HTTP requests between the two. I'm also a pretty lazy developer, and I hate testing my code (manually, at least). This left us with a pretty tricky problem in Python: reasonable HTTP mocks.Read more
It's been almost a year since I joined Dropbox. In that time I've been almost entirely focused on our automated build system (we dubbed it Changes).

The present invention relates generally to a patient monitoring system and more particularly to a monitoring system including an interrogation appliance for retrieving data from an implantable medical device or devices and transmitting the data to a remote processor for converting and forwarding the data to a desired destination for viewing, storage, or analysis.
Implantable medical devices (IMDs) such as cardiac pacemakers, cardioverters and defibrillators (ICDs), hemodynamic monitors, and drug delivery devices, are being offered with increasing capacity for storing physiological and device performance data. Physiological sensors for monitoring various patient conditions such as heart rhythm, blood pressure, respiration, patient activity level, heart wall motion, and blood chemistry may operate in conjunction with an IMD and home based instrumentation for acquiring continuous or periodic physiological data for processing and/or storage by the IMD or for clinical management. Such data may be used by the IMD in automated therapy delivery or by a clinician in diagnosing or monitoring a patient condition and in therapy management.
The development of remote patient monitoring systems allow IMD data to be transferred from the patient's IMD to a home monitor and from the home monitor to a central database so that the data may be reviewed by a clinician without requiring the patient to be present. However, a patient may visit various specialists or other clinicians not associated with the device follow-up clinic. Data stored by the IMD may be useful to such clinicians in combination with information they obtain during an office visit, such as results from physical examination, laboratory tests or patient interview. However, the specialist or other clinician may not have direct access to the central database storing the remote IMD monitoring data. The data in the central database may not be updated at the time the patient is visiting the specialist or other clinician. Therefore it is desirable for a clinician, who may not be affiliated with the IMD follow-up clinic, to be able to gain access to stored IMD data. Clinicians could provide better patient care by having IMD data at hand when evaluating an IMD patient. Since patients having IMDs may be seen at numerous medical care locations, providing a programmer at each facility may not be economically feasible. Furthermore, placement of an IMD programmer in the many facilities that may see IMD patients places training burden on clinicians who may only occasionally see patients having IMDs. What is needed is a system for accessing data from the IMD where the format and content of the provided information can be customized to each facility based on the medical specialty and type of patient assessment to be performed.
The present invention provides a system for accessing IMD data including an interrogation appliance for retrieving data from an IMD and a processor for receiving retrieved data from the interrogation appliance, converting the IMD data to a viewable form, and transferring the converted data to a desired data destination. The desired data destination may be a secure web page, fax machine, e-mail address, or other designated destination associated with a display or printer. The transferred data is then displayed or printed such that it is viewable by a clinician, usually located in the proximity of the patient.
The interrogation appliance includes telemetry circuitry for communicating with the IMD to retrieve all or a subset of stored data. The interrogation appliance is further equipped with a communication unit, which may be a telephone, cable, or wireless modem, for transmitting retrieved data to a processor.
The interrogation appliance may optionally include a display for indicating the status of communication functions. In some embodiments, the interrogation appliance may be the designated data destination and generate a display of converted IMD data received back from the processor. Alternatively, the interrogation appliance may include a printer or electronic storage medium for presenting or storing the IMD data.
The interrogation appliance may include an interface for coupling external monitoring equipment or for enabling a user to interact with the interrogation appliance. Additional data not collected by the IMD may be included in a data transmission to a processor. Such data may be acquired by external monitoring equipment or during physical examination or patient interview. Such externally obtained data may be combined with data retrieved from the IMD by including an interface in the interrogation appliance to allow connection of external devices or user-entered data to be received by the interrogation appliance.
The processor receives raw IMD data from the interrogation appliance via a communications network. The processor performs conversion or translation of IMD data to produce a data file useful and readable by a clinician. The converted IMD data file is forwarded to a data destination via the same or another communication network.
The processor may be included in a remote patient monitoring system associated with a centralized database. A data file forwarded to a data destination by the processor may include data stored in the centralized database to allow trend analysis. Alternatively the processor may be a dedicated processor for converting and transferring data received from an interrogation appliance and may be locally or remotely located relative to the interrogation appliance.
In one aspect of the present invention, the processor is a networked processor for receiving IMD data from any number of interrogation appliances located at various facilities, which may be in different geographic locations.
In another aspect of the present invention, data transferred to a designated data destination may be filtered based on the interrogation appliance identity or the data destination. Filtering may be performed by the interrogation appliance or the processor. The interrogation device may also annotate the IMD data with information regarding the type of assessment performed or some information about when the interrogation occurred to aid in future patient assessment.
In some embodiments, the interrogation appliance may further be used to deliver programming instructions from a centralized processor and database. Programming instructions entered or pending on the centralized database may be transmitted to the interrogation appliance after IMD data has been received and reviewed by the central processor. Programming instructions may then be downlinked to the IMD by the interrogation appliance.
Interrogation appliance 22 is adapted to communicate with a processor 42 via communication link 25. Processor 42 converts retrieved IMD data to a usable data form that may be presented in a viewable format for the clinician. As used herein, conversion of data to a �viewable� form refers to any alpha-numeric or graphical data format that is readable by a clinician. Data retrieved from the IMD is initially in a device format that is generally unreadable by a clinician in its raw form.
Processor 42 executes data conversion algorithms as well as other data processing or analysis to produce a readable data set presenting IMD data signals or parameters. �IMD data� as used herein refers to any data acquired for storage or real-time transmission by IMD 10. Such data may include device-related data, such as device performance parameters or diagnostic test results, and/or physiological parameters or signals measured by sensors associated with IMD 10.
Processor 42 may be located locally or remotely relative to interrogation appliance 22. Communication link 25 between processor 42 and interrogation appliance 22 may be established via a wired communication line, such as a telephone or cable modem, or via a wireless communication link which may be RF communication, satellite communication or any available wireless communication technology such as Bluetooth or WiFi.
In an exemplary embodiment, processor 42 is located at a remote location and is communicatively coupled to multiple interrogation appliances located in various clinics, hospitals or other third party facilities. In this way, processor 42 serves as a central data conversion and processing system for any number of interrogation appliances 22. As such, interrogation appliance 22 may be embodied as a simplified communication unit for data transfer from an IMD 10 to processor 42 without requiring costly, high-level processing technology on board. Providing this simplified embodiment of an interrogation appliance to allow read-only access to IMD data is a low-cost solution to fulfilling a need for IMD data access by clinicians located in numerous, unaffiliated facilities, not directly associated with the IMD monitoring database and not fully trained in IMD programming functions. Low-cost interrogation appliances for IMD data transfer may be located at facilities throughout the world having communication with a central processor 42 for performing high-level data conversion and analysis.
Processor 42 transmits converted data results to a designated data destination 34 associated with the particular interrogation appliance 22 from which data was received. At least a portion of IMD data received by processor 42 from interrogation appliance 22 is transferred to the designated data destination 34 via an appropriate communications network 35, which may be a telephone, cable, or wireless communication network. Processor 42 may include associated long-term memory for storing IMD data. All or a subset of IMD data received from interrogation appliance 22 may optionally be stored by processor 42.
A designated data destination 34 may be a secure Internet-based web site, an email address, or a facsimile number. Data destination 34 is associated with a display 36 and/or printer 38 to allow a viewable form of received IMD data to be generated. A clinician may thus view IMD data on a secure web site or in an electronically mailed document on a computer display, or on a printed facsimile. The clinician may choose to print the web page or electronically mailed document to generate a printed record of the data.
Typically, the IMD data received at the data destination has not been analyzed by a medical expert system for providing diagnostic or therapy management results or recommendations based on IMD data. Rather, data received at data destination 34 will typically include converted raw, parameterized or trend data that may be analyzed and reviewed by the receiving clinician according to his/her medical specialty or interests. When IMD data is received by a secure web site or in an electronically mailed document, the data may be imported into locally running applications or custom programs for further processing and analysis or stored in a local database.
Interrogation appliance 22 may further include an interface 40 for coupling other external medical monitoring equipment to interrogation appliance 22. Additionally or alternatively, interface 40 may be embodied as a user interface to allow a clinician to enter data collected through physical examination, patient interview or other external measurements. Data received by interrogation appliance 22 through interface 40 may be combined with data retrieved from IMD 10 for transmission to processor 42.
IMD data retrieved by interrogation appliance 22 may be a subset of data based on the identity of interrogation appliance 22. An interrogation command sent to IMD 10 from interrogation appliance 22 may include identification code indicating the identity of interrogation appliance 22 and the type of data it is authorized to receive. Alternatively, interrogation appliance 22 may receive all IMD data available but may be configured to transfer only selected data to processor 42. As such, interrogation appliance 22 may include a processor for filtering data to be transferred to processor 42. Data selected for transferring to processor 42 may be predetermined or selectable by a clinician using interface 40.
IMD data may be alternatively or additionally filtered by processor 42. Processor 42 may select data to be transferred to data destination 34 based on the identity of interrogation appliance 22 and/or the designated data destination 34. Data received from interrogation appliance 22 may include appliance identity code. Data received from interrogation appliance 22 may further designate the data destination 34. A designated data destination 34 associated with a particular interrogation appliance 22 may alternatively be stored in memory associated with processor 42. Thus, control over IMD data distribution to authorized recipients may be incorporated in the data access system shown in
A remote IMD monitoring system includes a central processor 32 for converting and analyzing IMD data and an associated central database 33 for storing IMD data. Central processor 32 and database 33 may be an Internet-based or other networked system used for remote patient monitoring and may be associated with a medical expert system. Central processor 32 receives data from in-home monitors or programmers for use in remote patient monitoring, for example as described in the above incorporated references.
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, central processor 32 also receives IMD data from interrogation appliance 22 via a communication link 28, which may be established via the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network, a telecommunications network or other appropriate communications network, and may be a wireless communication link. Central processor 32 and database 33 may be located at a clinic and receive IMD data from interrogation appliance 22 via a networked host server 30.
Any number of interrogation appliances 22 may be located at various facilities and communicatively coupled with central processor 32 and database 33. Interrogation appliance 22 retrieves IMD data from IMD 10, and transfers the data to central processor 32 via communication link 28. Central processor 32 performs any data conversion and processing necessary to generate an IMD data set that may be presented in a viewable form, either on display 36 or printer 38. Central processor 32 transfers processed IMD data to data destination 34, which may be an email address, a secure web page, or facsimile number as described previously. Central processor 32 may also optionally store received IMD data in central database 33. If such data is stored, an alert message may be generated to notify the clinician(s) responsible for managing the remote monitoring system that new IMD data has been received. Central processor 32 may maintain a log of communication sessions with interrogation appliance 22.
Data processing and transfer operations performed by processor 32 may utilize data previously stored in central database 33. IMD data received from interrogation appliance 22 may be combined with other historical data stored in central database 33 to allow data trend analysis, either by central processor 32 or locally at data destination 34. Data transmitted to data destination 34 may be a subset of retrieved (and stored) data based on the identity of the interrogation appliance 22 sending the IMD data and/or the identity of the data destination 34 receiving the processed data.
More than one data destination 34 may be associated with an interrogation appliance 22. An interrogation appliance 22 may be used by multiple users at a particular facility for accessing IMD data. Code indicating the designated data destination 34 for receipt of retrieved IMD data may be transferred with retrieved IMD data from interrogation appliance 22 to processor 42. Alternatively, a data destination address or number may be stored by processor 42 in associated memory for use upon receipt of data from a particular interrogation appliance. The interrogation appliance 22 sending IMD data may be identified according to identification code or header information sent with IMD data. Processor 42 uses this information to select the appropriate data destination 34.
Electrodes 68 may also be used for sensing electrical signals within the body, such as cardiac signals, or for measuring impedance. In the case of cardiac stimulation devices, cardiac electrical signals are sensed for determining when an electrical stimulation therapy is needed and in controlling the timing of stimulation pulses.
Electrodes used for sensing and electrodes used for stimulation may be selected via switch matrix 58. When used for sensing, electrodes 68 are coupled to signal processing circuitry 60 via switch matrix 58. Signal processor 60 includes sense amplifiers and may include other signal conditioning circuitry and an analog-to-digital converter. Electrical signals may then be used by microprocessor 54 for detecting physiological events, such as detecting and discriminating cardiac arrhythmias. Electrodes 68 may be used for measuring impedance signals for monitoring, for example, edema, respiration or heart chamber volume.
IMD 10 may additionally or alternatively be coupled to one or more physiological sensors 70. Such sensors may include pressure sensors, accelerometers, flow sensors, blood chemistry sensors, activity sensors or other physiological sensors known for use with IMDs. Sensors 70 are coupled to IMD 10 via a sensor interface 62, which provides sensor signals to signal processing circuitry 60. Sensor signals may be used by microprocessor 54 for detecting physiological events or conditions. For example, IMD 10 may monitor heart wall motion, blood pressure, blood chemistry, respiration, or patient activity. Monitored signals may be stored in memory 78 and may be used for sensing the need for delivering a therapy under control of the operating system. Physiological data may be recorded continuously by IMD 10 or upon a detected triggering event or change in a monitored physiological condition. Acquired physiological data may be stored for later transfer to an external device or transferred in real-time. In accordance with the present invention, acquired physiological data may be transferred to interrogation appliance 22.
The operating system includes associated memory 56 for storing a variety of programmed-in operating mode and parameter values that are used by microprocessor 54. The memory 56 may also be used for storing data compiled from sensed physiological signals and/or relating to device operating history for telemetry out on receipt of a retrieval or interrogation instruction. All of these functions and operations are known in the art, and many are generally employed to store operating commands and data for controlling device operation and for later retrieval to diagnose device function or patient condition. Microprocessor 54 controls device diagnostic functions, such as lead impedance monitoring, stimulation threshold testing, and device longevity estimation. Microprocessor 54 may also manage the storage of device performance parameters such as pacing capture success rate, frequency of delivered therapies, and response to delivered therapies. Device-related parameters acquired by IMD 10 may be transferred to an external monitoring device, such as interrogation device 22 in accordance with the present invention.
IMD 10 is equipped with telemetry circuitry 64 and antenna 65 for bidirectional communication with an external monitor. Programming data and monitoring data are transmitted during downlink or uplink telemetry between IMD telemetry circuitry and external telemetry circuitry included in an external device such as interrogation appliance 22. In an exemplary embodiment, telemetry circuitry 64 and antenna 65 are implemented as a long range telemetry system which allows IMD communication with an external device, such as interrogation appliance 22, to occur without requiring the use of a programming head or wand. Long-range telemetry systems are generally disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,482,154 issued to Haubrich et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,240,317 issued to Villaseca et al., and U.S. Pat. No. 6,169,925 issued to Villaseca et al., all of which patents are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. In other embodiments, close range telemetry systems employing a programming head containing a telemetry antenna to be placed over the implanted device may be employed.
Interrogation appliance 22 is provided with a communication module 82, which may be in the form of a hard-wired or wireless modem, for coupling interrogation appliance 22 with a communications network. IMD data received by interrogation appliance 22 is transferred to a networked processor via communications module 82.
As noted previously, interrogation appliance 22 may optionally be provided with an interface 40 to enable connectivity with external patient monitoring equipment. Interface 40 may additionally or alternatively include a user interface to allow a clinician to enter data obtained during physical examination, patient interview or other external measurements. A clinician may also use interface 40 to select what types of IMD data or parameters are retrieved during a telemetry session. Telemetry sessions between an IMD and interrogation appliance 22 may occur automatically when an IMD is within communication range of interrogation appliance 22. Alternatively, a push-button, touch-screen, or the equivalent may be included in interface 40 to allow a clinician to initiate a telemetry session.
Interrogation appliance 22 includes memory 78 for storing control programs used by microprocessor in controlling the communication functions of the interrogation appliance. Memory 78 may further include data registers for storing data received from an IMD. Data storage capabilities allow received data to be stored until a communication link can be established for transferring data to a central processor. Retrieved data would not be lost in case of an interruption or delay of network communication.
Microprocessor 74 is typically a relatively low-level processor used for controlling communication functions of appliance 22 in transferring data from an IMD to a processor. High-level processing power needed for data conversion is incorporated in a networked processor as described above. However some low-level data processing functions, such as data filtering, may be performed by microprocessor 74. In order to reduce the amount of data or eliminate unwanted data received by a clinician at a designated data destination, IMD data received from an IMD may be filtered by microprocessor 74 prior to transferring the data to a processor. A clinician may be interested in only a portion of or a certain type of data available from an IMD. Interrogation appliance 22 may therefore be configured to filter retrieved IMD data such that excessive amounts of processed data are not received at the designated data destination. Furthermore, with respect to patient privacy, it may be desirable to limit the type of data ultimately being transferred to a data destination for use by a third party. Microprocessor 74 may be pre-programmed to filter data in accordance with a clinician's needs and patient privacy issues. Alternatively, a clinician may use interface 40 to select data to be transferred to a processor.
The interrogation device may also annotate the IMD data with information regarding the type of assessment performed or some information about when the interrogation occurred to aid in future patient assessment. This information may be forwarded with the IMD data to the data destination for record keeping purposes. The information may be additionally stored by the networked processor in a log of communication sessions with interrogation appliances. Interface 40 may be used by a clinician to enter information to be included in the IMD data annotations.
Interrogation appliance 22 may optionally include additional features available in commercially available programmers or in-home monitors. For example appliance 22 may be equipped with a floppy disk drive, CD ROM drive or other electronic data storage medium. Appliance 22 may further include a strip chart recorder or other data recording unit so that a record of received data can be generated. Interrogation appliance 22 may be provided with a display, such as an LED display, for indicating when data transmission is occurring and completed.
In some embodiments, the designated data destination for receiving processed IMD data may be the interrogation appliance 22 itself in which case the interrogation appliance 22 would include display 36 and/or printer 38 (shown in
In addition to facilitating retrieval of data from an implanted device, interrogation device 22 may be used in remote programming operations. Operating parameters or programs stored in an IMD for controlling IMD functions may be programmed or updated via interrogation device 22. Programming instructions that may be pending in a central database 33 (
Thus a system to access IMD data has been described for use by a clinician or other third party, who does not normally have access to or operating knowledge of a full-function IMD programmer or does not have access to data stored in remote monitoring databases. The disclosed system allows for secure distribution of selected IMD data to designated data destinations. The system provides a low cost solution to providing IMD data access by using a networked, high-level processor for converting and processing IMD data received from simplified interrogation appliances that may be placed in numerous facilities at different geographical locations.
Aspects of the present invention have been described herein according to detailed, illustrated embodiments. However it is recognized that numerous variations of these embodiments may be conceived for implementing a system for providing access to IMD data. The various embodiments described herein should therefore be considered exemplary, not limiting, with regard to the following claims.

UL Offers Critical Safety Information For Post-Hurricane Sandy Recovery
NORTHBROOK, Ill., Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- UL (Underwriters Laboratories), a world leader in advancing safety, offers critical safety information for post-hurricane Sandy recovery in the areas of:
- Portable generator safety
- Flood damage
- Contamination by foodborne illness
Using portable generators safely to avoid carbon dioxide poisoning and electrocution:
- Place the portable generator as far away from the home as possible.
Do not use a generator inside homes, garages, crawlspaces, or other partly enclosed areas. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can build up in these areas. Using a fan or opening windows and doors does not supply enough fresh air. Only use a generator outside and far away from windows, doors, and vents. These openings can pull in generator exhaust.
- Never use a generator to power the entire home.
Homeowners should use generators only to provide power directly to a few household items, such as a refrigerator, freezer or lights. Generators used to power a building during an outage must be connected through transfer equipment that isolates the generator supply from the utility supply.
- Use outdoor extension cords to the household items needing power.
Use heavy, outdoor extension cords not indoor-only extension cords. Note the maximum wattage the generator produces and never exceed that amount with the appliances you plug in. Appliances should have their wattage listed on the product.
- If available, use a portable ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) with the outdoor extension cords to help prevent against shock hazards.
GFCIs protect from electrocution and are the outlets that have the "Test" and "Reset" buttons on the electric outlet. The majority of portable generators do not include GFCI protection.
- Portable generators typically are not weatherproof.
Generators can pose the risk of electrocution and shock when used in wet conditions. Use generators outdoors on a dry surface where water cannot reach it.
Managing and evaluating water-damaged materials.
- Remove porous materials, such as carpet, drywall, ceiling tiles and pressed wood furnishings immediately.
If damaged by floodwaters, these items must be removed because of the chemicals and bacteria carried in floodwaters. Remove these items as your first step.
- Evaluate semi-porous materials, such as framing lumber as it may be salvaged by scrubbing and pressure washing.
- Set aside non-porous items such as solid countertops and flooring for cleaning later.
They may be restored with soap and water then sanitized if needed. It's important to clean while these materials are still wet versus letting them dry out and making them wet again. Also, clean before sanitizing, as sanitizers are not effective on soiled surfaces.
- To prevent mold and moisture issues, the drying process must be underway within 72 hours of cleaning.
Materials damaged by rainwater or burst pipes may be retained only if the structure of the material is not compromised and the materials are effectively dried out within 48 hours.
- Water damage is cheaper to repair than mold damage; water damage turns to mold damage in three to seven days.
- Mold can be destructive to the internal structure of the building and may eat away at it for months or years until it is too late to save the structure.
On first glance, surfaces with mold growth may seem like they need only a quick scrub of some cleaner to fix, but in reality, mold growth can be much more than just a cosmetic issue.
- Mold also can be a health hazard.
Exposure to mold spores and other components of mold colonies may trigger respiratory illnesses such as asthma and allergies.
Avoiding foodborne illness.
- If food looks or smells bad, discard it.
"When in doubt, throw it out."
- Dispose any food directly in contact with flood waters.
If food comes directly in contact with flood waters, discard it to prevent microbiological, chemical, and/or physical contamination. Sewage and other bacteriological waste may be present in flood water as can chemical contamination from household chemicals, automotive fluids, and agricultural materials such as fertilizers and garden pesticides.
- Use a thermometer.

In case you haven't noticed, us humans are really annoying, especially when it comes to pets. We dress 'em up in embarrassing costumes and bathe them til they hate us and honestly? We can't blame them at all for retaliation.
We all have those days when we're just over it. Maybe you're done with the traffic, bad weather or the fact that nothing can go right today. It happens to the best of us, and animals definitely aren't excluded.
We all know cats are quirky little creatures. For starters, they have a knack for imitating 'Shark Week' and 'The Great
Gatsby Catsby'. We're not saying that stuff is weird or anything, it's just that cats always bring an element of hilarity to these sorts of situations. This also includes bath time.
There are a lot of deceptively tough stuff in this world. Diving, sticking on a price tag, even just being a cute little pup can be hard. You know what else can be super challenging? Blowing out birthday candles.
Being a waiter or waitress can be pretty tough at times. Complaining customers, lame tips-- the list goes on. But of course there are the select few awesome diners who actually appreciate their servers (or just want to give 'em a laugh), and they leave a clever notes on the receipt.
It all started with the 'Dogshaming' meme, where owners took to the Web to expose their misbehaving pooches. Then there was bunny shaming, which taught us that even those little guys can get into trouble. But that ain't got nothin' on the latest version -- baby shaming brings this trend to an entirely new level of adorable.
If you've ever held some sort of customer service position, you know it can be incredibly trying, to say the least. Whether you've been a waiter, bartender or even a stylist, getting feedback on comment cards is just part of the ole job. While some notes can be harsh, according to our Instagram findings, a decent amount are actually really helpful.
Optical illusions can play some really weird tricks on our brains. We think we're looking at one thing and then... sike! It's something else. Honestly, what the heck. But you know the best type of illusions? The photograph kind, because they can be all sorts of awesome, strange and funny
It doesn't matter which way we spin it; breaking up stinks. (Unless, of course, you're the breaker-upper, in which case it's like a cause for celebration.) Either way, cutting the relationship cord has gotten a bit easier ever since text messaging hit the scene. As it turns out, break up texts can be hilarious.

Brad Pitt states: The same policies that have had so little effect on the country's drug use have deeply and disparately impacted poor and minority communities in the United States. And the masses cheer. The Black community has another reason, justified by a White Liberal, to blame their existance on victimization. Pitt goes on to state: It's one thing to abide by policies that don't make things better; it's another to continue with those that actually make things worse. What about America's War on Poverty? Will Brad Pitt and @UncleRush stand up against the The Great Welfare Society that breeds generational poverty? Aren't liberal policies of dependency and class warfare making the black community worse? Shall we look to Chicago to answer that question?

Brassica oleracea gemmifera
Brussels sprouts are tasty. Honest! As a kid, you were probably force-fed overcooked, mushy sprouts. But properly prepared, they're a delight—and packed with vitamins and minerals.
Hardiness: Grown as an annual.
Planting advice: Sow seeds four to five weeks before transplanting in early summer. Transplant at least 90 days before the first frost. Sow seedlings 2 to 3 feet apart, with rows at least 2 feet apart.
They'll grow about 3 feet tall and produce 20 to 40 sprouts along the stem.
Harvest tips: Pick in about 90 days, when sprouts are firm and 1 inch in diameter, and before leaves turn yellow.
Sprouts keep for about 10 days in a refrigerated airtight bag, and up to a year if frozen. To freeze, blanch in boiling water for three minutes; dunk them in ice-cold water for three more. Drain and store in airtight freezer bags.
Recommendations: Bubbles, Oliver, Royal Marvel, Rubine (red sprouts), Valiant.

One of the most talked-about films this spring was Paolo Sorrentino's followup to "Il Divo," the oddball roadtrip movie "This Must Be The Place." Starring a Robert Smith-channeling Sean Penn, the film is an odd one, a gothic holocaust dramedy of sorts about an aging rocker wh...Read More »
Despite a rather large and enthusiastic critical embrace of American neo-neo realism ("Wendy and Lucy," "Goodbye Solo," "Ballast," and a few others), there haven't been many (if any) new players entering the field. By contrast, mumblecore micro-indies are cropping up like corn, with young directors seizing the me-too attitude and grabbing shitty cameras to capture characters in apartments talking about relationships or focusing on their own inadequacies. Some are different, some are great, and like anything, you have to wade through the shit (which still get perplexing amounts of overenthusiastic quotes) in order to find the few artists pushi...Read More »
Duo Writing Original Music For Film, Will Also Feature Performance By ByrneItalian helmer Paolo Sorrentino made a name for himself at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival with his film "Il Divo" but he'll more than likely soon be better known worldwide for his upcoming music-centric revenge tale, "This Mus...Read More »
German avant-garde rockers Popol Vuh are producing a special limited box-set containing their scores for the Werner Herzog + Klaus Kinski buddypack of "Aguirre: The Wrath of the God," "Nosferatu," "Fitzcarraldo," and "Cobra Verde," plus "Heart of Glass," which features lead performances by hypnotized actors. Those not down with Herzog's latest (or dismayed that their favorite renegade director became a done-to-death Internet meme where all jokes go to die a million times over) will enjoy the trip down memory lane, as included in the collection is a near 100-page booklet featuring "unseen footage and images." 5,000 copies only, pre-order while...Read More »

Last summer my friend Brent and I caught a ride on a cargo ship headed for the far shore of Alaska's Cook Inlet. Once deposited, we spent the next ten days fat-biking and packrafting through mountainous terrain, tundra, brush, and beaches along Alaska's largest lake, down the Kvichak River to Bristol Bay.
With professional musician Mark Teckenbrock and graphic artist Skyler Kline we have created a film from that trip - 'Hunting For Monsters' which is now available on Vimeo On Demand.
Please watch, enjoy and share.

They should try that out here. I wonder how far it'll go.
LoL. <3 german police.
Germans are crazy... dancing criminals XD
damn....ahahahha. Now that was good! =D but this might belong in the funny vids thread.
the bloke was pretty good with the squats.
Oh lol, I didn't know our police was that funny XD
Policeman: "We do this thing again. Look into my eyes. Please look into my eyes. Cooperate then we are done fast. Look into my eyes."
Man: "You think that I am drunk, or what?"
Policeman: "Look into my eyes or we go to the police office together. Did you drink alcohol?"
Man: "No"
Policeman: "Fine, face that direction. Stretch out your right hand, palm facing the ground. Stretch out your left hand. Put your right hand on your left shoulder. Put your left hand on your right shoulder. Do it a bit faster, we both want to get home today ... place your right hand behind your head, place your left hand behind your head. Now put your hands on your hip. Down to your knees (?). Do you know where those are? Ok, now listen: now you do all those things alone and in a loop, you understand me?
Guy in the car: "Turn on the music." "Louder."
I dont know if you noticed but its a sketch of Comedy Central Germany...
Besides if someone gets stopped by the police like this here in Germany, these officers would definialy lose their jobs.
Its not like in the US where police officers kill black teenager on the streets with 50 eye-witness and nothing happens.
wow that seems pretty racist. just try to take things in good humor, huh? no need to make jabs about past histories.
