COMBAT CARE: Schenarts saves soldiers, others at Afghan hospital
At a dusty base in Afghanistan, Dr. P.J. Schenarts is doing what he loves: taking care of the injured.
"To work here, you need your funny bone, your back bone and your brain bone," said Schenarts, better known there as Lt. Col. Paul J. Schenarts, a trauma surgeon and deputy commander of clinical services, 344th Combat Support Hospital. "I feel like it's not only my duty, but an honor for me to be able to do this. Being able to provide critical care to soldiers is really wonderful."
Dr. Paul Schenarts, an ECU surgeon and lieutenant colonel in the
Army Reserves, treats a patient at the 344th Combat Support
Hospital in Afghanistan.
Schenarts is an Army reservist, associate professor of surgery and assistant dean for clinical academic affairs at the Brody School of Medicine. From July until October, he served his sixth tour of duty in the Middle East. He returned Oct. 14.
The hospital, at Forward Operating Base Salerno, stays busy. During one 38-day period this summer, hospital staff responded to 39 traumas and admitted 47 patients. They took nearly 600 X-rays, performed 57 surgeries, conducted 259 CT scans and treated 56 battle-related injuries.
"This is a trauma hospital," said Lt. Col. Gregory A. Kolb, commanding officer. "It's not a typical hospital like we have in the U.S. Most of our patients are trauma patients."
Approximately 90 percent of those who arrive at Salerno Hospital do so by helicopter and are coming to get treatment for injuries sustained in battle, mostly from improvised explosive devices, shrapnel and gunshot wounds.
"This hospital is completely on par with hospitals in the U.S.," Schenarts said. "We don't lack anything. We are able to get diagnostic results back very quickly here, usually within a matter of minutes. That doesn't happen in the States."
Although their main focus is saving soldiers' lives, the hospital also treats contractors, coalition forces, detainees, Afghan National Security Forces and local nationals on a case-by-case basis.
Recently, staff treated several civilians who had been the target of an insurgent ambush and massacre that claimed 12 lives. One of the survivors was happy to be treated by the hospital staff.
"I thank the ISAF forces so much," said Gula Gha, a 28-year-old Pakistan native from Parachinar District, Pakistan. "If it was not for their help, I would have died. I had lost a lot of blood, but the American doctors saved my life. I will never forget them."
With the combination of the latest technology and highly-skilled medical staff, soldiers can rest assured they will receive the best care available if they find themselves at the CSH.
"This is a great hospital with a great staff," said Schenarts. "We provide excellent quality care, and we treat the best patients in the world ... the soldiers."

[iPhone] Embark on a high seas choose-your-own-adventure tale with Choice of Broadsides
Posted By Tucker On February 21, 2013 @ 12:10 AM In iOS | 1 Comment
[1]Does anyone else out there feel like the "Genius" recommendations in the App Store app are totally bogus? To be fair, my recommendations are probably a little skewed because I use my phone for testing apps and games that I'm reviewing. Some of those apps and game I get to pick myself, but many of them are assigned to me, and aren't apps I'd normally check out.
As a result, my "Genius" recommendations are usually all total garbage that I have no interest in. Today was a rare exception. Based on my interest in Frotz (which I reviewed here [2]), Genius recommended that I check out a game called Choice of Broadsides. It's a totally cool game that I never would have found otherwise!
Main Functionality
Choice of Broadsides is a choice-based text adventure game, similar to those old "Choose Your Own Adventure Books." The developer, Choice of Games, describes Choice of Broadsides as a "swashbuckling naval adventure, in the spirit of C. S. Forester's Hornblower or Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin books, with a dash of Jane Austen."
[3]Choice of Broadsides starts off in the middle of a battle, which is a great way to draw players in. Not long into the game, however, you'll get a bit sidetracked as you fill out a questionnaire that will tailor your profile and attributes based on your responses. It's a really clever way to establish the world of the story, and engage players.
Ladies (or parents with female children) will really appreciate the fact that you can play as a female character. In fact, if you choose to play as a female character, you play in an "alternate timeline" where women are the exclusive gender allowed to serve at sea, while men stay on shore and rear children. It's rare to find a game that has such positive female role models.
The ads are really obnoxious in this game, and can sometimes take you a bit out of the world of the story. I'd gladly pay 99 cents to get rid of the ads, but $4.99 seems a bit steep compared to what other games are charging.
As expected in any text-based game, Choice of Broadsides really needs to be played by people who love reading, and who have the attention to catch small details in the story that they will be quizzed on later. If you have the focus, Choice of Broadsides is sure to be a richly rewarding text-based experience.
Choice of Broadsides totally sucked me in from the word "go." I'm so glad that Genius recommended this game to me, and I can't wait to check out the other titles from the same company. If you loved "Choose Your Own Adventure" books growing up, have a soft spot for naval history, or just love a ripping good story, check out this free game ASAP.

Hectic & Home
I received guests for 3 days and I must say, I enjoyed the company and the children noise.. I know, sometimes I amazed myself too.. Hehehe..
On Thursday I will be back to KK to catch up with Lucy & her baby Sophie.. I am excited to meet Sophie for the very first time! And then on the weekend, we have organized a little reunion party for my Likas girls school '94 batch at Sutera Harbour. Will definitely be blogging about that!
After I come back from KK, I will be re-admitted into Sunway Medical for another surgery... I just can't wait for all this to be over with so I can move on with life!
I have ordered the food for Christmas eve dinner and I have done all the Christmas decor shopping (which isn't much, so no point showing pictures)... All I need to do now is sit back and enjoy that occasional glass of wine while I still can!

TOP 9 Rapidshare Search Engines Review
If you never dealt with rapidshare, you are not an Internet user. Millions of people every day upload and download files to rapidshare – this modern info giant. So that users always could find what they search for, there exist special search engines, which search only for rapidshare links and thus save your time and effort. There are hundreds (if not thousands of them) nowadays.
Each one chooses for himself, how to download files from rapidshare in the most convenient way. But, as far as have noticed, main criteria remain the same: easy search and relevant results, high download speed, possible additional advanced options and user-friendliness. Today I'd like to make a surface user review of 9 rapidshare search engines, which, to my mind, are in the top.
- http://rapid4me.com/
- http://rapidlibrary.com/
- http://www.rapidsharemix.com/
- http://www.filestube.com/
- http://rapidpedia.com/
- http://fileshunt.com/
- http://rapidqueen.com/
- http://rapidshare-search-engine.com/
- http://avilib.com/
What is noticed at first site is a guide for beginners. Though it is not that important for promoted rapidshare users, for many dummies it will be of good help. The design is pleasant, no unnecessary ads, banners and other similar spam (but rather profitable one, should I admit), I believe it means that rapid4me's developers really care so that their users could find what they want without being attacked by numerous banners.
You may also add rapid4me.com to your search engine list and that's also very convenient, if this search engine meets your demands. What I didn't notice at other similar resources I found at rapid4me.com: here together with rapidshare links, one can find torrents (http://torrents.rapid4me.com ) and .pdf (http://pdf.rapid4me.com ). Such a universal search engine. Good idea, to my mind.
This resource has already won its popularity and has it's own number of devoted users. They also have an option "Rapidshare Search Toolbar from Rapidlibrary " and besides provide search by different files types. At first sight everything is clear, but when you choose the file to download and get to the list of links, you may feel a bit puzzled because of number of colors at the page and other things which distract attention. Personally for me it is a minus, though it is very subjective, sure thing. In all the rest this search engine deserves attention.
When only you visit homepage, you see a logo and developers' promise to provide users with "new updated, constantly improving database". And whenever I tried to find some certin file, my searches were rather successful. So let's hope that developers do not act against their conscience and are absolutely sincere.
Another useful feature that bursts upon my eyes – an ability to download the file in question quicker than by other similar resources. You don't need make additional clicks – just choose the file, enter CAPTCHA to have access to the links and voilà – start the download process.
Rapidshare, megaupload and mediafire search engine provides users with advanced search by word, phrase, date and size, which sometimes may be essential for the search process. The process of search and download is quick and doesn't require registration. Another interesting detail – premium accounts are said to cost only $1.99. Does this mean high download speed or just unlimited access to the resources of... filestube.com??? The latter is true as it turned out. Would you like to pay for what other similar resources provide on a free basis? The choice is upon you!
This search engine allows us to take the bull by the horns. You have come to find and download some file – you are welcome, nothing will distract your attention from the main aim. Came – found – downloaded. Everything is precise and clear as it should be!
Rapidshare SE possesses a huge rapidshare links base, which you may get... only after you pay for the access code. But when you do, you are promised to be shown to "unlimited access to all files stored on our servers with no size and speed restrictions". Intrigued? Me too. All the rest satisfies the most sophisticated users: design, simplicity, user-friendliness – perfect!
Rapidshare search engine doesn't provide any advanced search options, searches in titles, specific file types etc. This search engine specializes on its main function – search for and give access to rapidshare links. What else is need from a decent functional rapidshare search engine?
As soon as you enter this page, you see the list of recent searches and get the idea of what users usually look for. Enter the file you need and get to another page with the list of links. Very convenient - smooth motion of your mouse to the search results and you have all info about the file: size, search tags, status, file type. You are satisfied with this info – start downloading.
One more easy to use search engine on rapidshare. What I like about particularly this one – it's minimalism in design is professionally combined with maximal functionality. If you don't like overloaded pages with numerous options you never make use of, avilib.com is YOUR rapidshare search engine. The download procedure remains the same.

My first (puppy?) love
OK, there is this one story that I wanted to blog about, sort of 'brought up' by our recent trip to PD. Some of my close friends know about this already..
I went dating for the first time in my life when I was 13. I knew him since I was in primary 6! We went to different secondary school, while he went to Sabah College, I went to SMK Menggatal. But we kept in touch through telephone and we would meet up and hang out on weekends.
Most of the time, we would just hang out at his parents house and his parent would send me home after they got back from work. His parents knew my parents, so dating him wasn't a problem.
I got close with his school friends too, one in particular named Nor who used to stay over-night at my place.
We used to call him 'Boy' (a very popular nickname back then). He was my very first kiss, my very first love, puppy or not.. And we were carefree and happy...
However, one day he called me... Instead of talking nonsense lovey dovey stuffs, he said we should break up because we should be focusing on our SRP exam. I was heartbroken but because I think there was truth to his excuse for breaking up, I took it with open but still broken heart.
And then, I went out with some of our friends after that phone call. I remember we met up at this ice cream place at Kompleks Karamunsing... And then one friend said how could Boy broke it up with me over Nor, my friend.. I was surprised, I didn't know that the two had been double timing me.. And he chose her over me... My heart broke again...
A few months after that, I heard from a friend that Nor got pregnant and didn't know what to do with it since he was leaving with his family to America. Talk about Karma!
I haven't seen him again after that until recently, when we were in PD. Someone very familiar-looking opened the door to the restaurant. I glanced at his name tag, and I sort of suspected who he was. He pulled the chair for me to sit, when I asked him if he was 'him'.. He said yes and we hugged, it has been a loooong time I said and you broke my heart.. and we laughed about it. I of course introduced him to Bo. He was very professional though, but his colleague took over the servicing.
After all that happened many many years ago, he reappeared as my waiter? Talk about Karma vol. 2!
As George Herbert put it: Living well is the best revenge!
Of course revenge was never my intention.. It's just Karma at work...

My romantic getaway.. PD
The PD trip was ok. The room was nice, but I have a feeling that it's not going to stay that way for a long time.. In fact, I give them maybe 1 year? It's not that bad but I've seen better. Despite that, the service was excellent!
Our room rate at joint promo with UOB credit card was at RM391 nett which was inclusive of one night stay, dinner for 2, breakfast for 2, minibar & welcome drinks.
This place is super new.. The grand opening was on 1st November... When we woke up to the sound of drilling in the morning, we sort of suspected that most of the rooms were not fully done up yet.. On our way to check out, we saw contractor with trolley carrying safe boxes.
I do have another story to tell from this trip, but I'll blog about it later.. In the meantime, I am thinking of doing up the home office to be well, home office but also double as a guest room.. Since I've been receiving lots of out of town guests lately. I need to get rid of my work table and re-organize the storeroom.. and then I can start looking for sofa bed or even better something like Murphy bed wall bed which will definitely look nice in the room. Something like this:-

How many days to Christmas?? Not long now... I am going to do small family dinner with just me, Bo, my sister and close friends on Christmas's eve, just to keep the tradition going... I am already planning on getting the real Christmas tree from Ikea.. because my Christmas tree is pathetically small and I don't have space to store huge fake Christmas tree and the ornaments.
So this year, there will be no restaurant.. no getting stuck in traffic in downtown KL.. I am going to order turkey or lamb leg from La Bodega, like I used to do and just get a few bottles of wine to complement the dinner. The liquors need to be finished anyway.. We've been having it for years!
I used to do dinner at home for Christmas eves but last year, we were too lazy so we opted to go to Bo's favorite French restaurant instead. And I am excited to be doing dinner party again this year!
I am sure to take a lot of photos & some videos too! I am getting a video cam for Christmas as part of Christmas present series. I will definitely share them with you guys.
By the way, you can now share your files (photos, documents etc) and make money at the same time? Just upload and start making money.. And, you're gonna love it for the speed, the service and the support from their team. Try it! I think I'm switching too (I've been using Mediafire).

Dine with petai..
Oh my! My stomach hasn't stopped growling (and not because I'm hungry) and I just had a piece!
I went to meet up with an old friend who I haven't seen in ages last night. We decided to have dinner at Madam Kwan Pavilion. As I was busy talking to Yvonne, Bo made the order.. Fish Head Curry, Sambal Prawn with Petai and Mixed Vegetable... Not exactly a balanced diet but that's how simple he is.
Anyway, when they tasted the petai, everyone was saying how delicious it was. I was tempted to try.. Mind you, I have never tasted petai in my whole entire life.. I can't even stand the smell! Before I know it, I was scooping a spoonful of Petai onto my plate. I took one, and when the taste registered, I had to literally swallow it with lots of water! And I think that lots of water made me full, I didn't enjoy the rest of my food...
But, of course I enjoyed the evening. Talking and catching up on old time. We realized how many things and people have changed. If it's not for Bo calling it an early night, we would have stayed on for dessert.. just like old times!
Oh... on the way home last night, Bo told me that those petai will give me gas and I'd be passing gas more often. A fact that he failed to tell me before I put them on my plate and in my mouth! True enough.. I am still feeling bloated! I am never touching petai again in my entire life!
By the way, since we are nearing the year end.. maybe it's time that you have new website design for your company or personal website to usher in 2010. Please visit here business web design for negotiable price on stylish, modern looking design combined with high performance and functionality.

R&R in Bali
The next morning, we went to Bvlgari Resort in Uluwatu just for breakfast and spa visit. My aunt's friend, who's also a Spa Director in Los Cabos wanted to see how it looks like since they are using the same products. The food was ok but all of us agreed that the use of so many black colors in the resort made it look depressing.. And the service was under expectation... We werenot impressed!

The only thing more surprising than Colton's exit from the show are his co-star's candid reactions.
Teen Wolf fans were shocked, saddened, etc. when news broke that Colton Haynes wouldn't be returning for the MTV series' upcoming third season — and it sounds like some of his cast mates were just as stunned. "We found out when everyone else did," Crystal Reed told The Hollywood Reporter at Jersey Shore's "Restore the Shore" fundraiser in NYC. "I didn't think that it was actually gonna happen … it was shocking for me."
Tyler Posey, the show's leading wolf, was apparently less surprised.
"There was talk about him doing this after the first season, so we were kind of used to it," Tyler admitted. "But then it actually happened. It definitely sucks, it's definitely weird. It's gonna be weird to film it without him, but we have a good group of people on our show and we'll survive."
As for Colton's off-camera relationship with the Teen Wolf cast, Dylan O'Brien doesn't think it will be damaged by his departure.
"I feel like it won't even feel like he's gone," Dylan said. "He'll probably be still hanging out with us on set and still come to our parties when the show's on. We're still really good friends with him and we're still gonna hang out with him … we wish him good luck, and we're still gonna see him always."
Are YOU bummed about Colton's sudden exit from Teen Wolf? Drop me a comment with your thoughts on a Jackson-less season three.

The show is missing a lot for season 3 that is now out. I have watched every episode since the premier season 1 and routinely.. I was looking forward to season 3 as much as i did the others, but now that Colten is not in season three I am bummed I think the show sucked so far (tatoo) and it is not the same without him on there, even though we still have three leading characters, and major talent, we also lost one really great one and there's a major difference, for the worse now. its not the show i loved and looked so forward to watching anymore!! After waiting all winter for season three, I feel like I'm not even watching the same show!! Gosh! i am seriously so pissed off!! The show isn't what I grew to love anymore. This is the first time I can say, I don't even care much bout next Mondays episode at this point

It is so upsetting to learn that Colton won't be returning next season, his departure will leave so many unanswered questions about his character. A coworker at DISH and I have spent months theorizing about the reason behind his blue eyes in the finale. I hope that the new season still manages to address many of the mysteries and doesn't disregard them altogether. Even with this sad news; the wait for the new season has been so hard. To cope, I have been re-watching the past season I have recorded on my DISH Hopper. The 2,000 hours of recording space has been amazing with all of my shows, I never have to worry about running out of space. I will be using it when the show returns, to stay caught up with all of the werewolf drama I miss. This show is going to be very strange without Jackson around. He played such a crucial role in the second season, so I hope that he can at least make a cameo at some point to tie up loose ends.

DIY: No-Carve Pumpkins
I'm sharing a peek of my no-carve painted pumpkins today! They were actually so easy to do --after I spray painted them a variety of colors (gold, gray, tan and matte black) and let them dry for 24 hours I spent an evening sipping an apple cider cocktail (recipe coming soon) and decorating them. I have them flanking my mantle and really enjoy getting to see them everyday! You can see the full DIY on Glitter Guide next week.

PRESEASON ALL-CONFERENCE SELECTIONS LEAD MOREHOUSE MAROON TIGERS AND HOWARD UNIVERSITY BISON as schools meet for 35TH time in AT&T NATION'S FOOTBALL CLASSIC
Morehouse and Howard to open 2012 seasons in Classic as longstanding rivalry continues
Washington, D.C. – The on-field rivalry between Morehouse College and Howard University continues this fall when the two football programs meet for the 35th time in the second annual AT&T Nation's Football Classic at RFK Stadium on Saturday, September 1 in the season opener for both schools. Kickoff is 3:30 P.M.
Bragging rights are at stake for the two teams whose combined rosters include 12 preseason All-Conference selections. The return of outstanding players such as Bison All-American linebacker Keith Pough and Maroon Tigers running back David Carter, coupled with the memories of last year's inaugural Classic thriller in which Howard pulled out a nail-biting 30-27 win, promises to make this year's rematch even more competitive. The Bison hold a 22-10-2 advantage in the series including four straight wins.
"The sense of tradition between these two schools inspires a classic college football experience that we are happy to once again bring to our nation's capital," Erik A. Moses, managing director of Events DC's Sports and Entertainment Division. "Last year's game was exciting for both schools and their fans. We expect the same determination and drive from both teams to come out victorious and register their first win of the season."
Whereas last year's inaugural game started a great sports tradition in our nation's capital, the Bison victory set the stage for another enticing match-up this year. Howard Head Coach Gary "The Flea" Harrell will look to Pough for defensive leadership. Pough, who is included on most preseason football honors lists, was named a 2012 NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Preseason All-American and the College Sports Madness Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Preseason Defensive Player of the Year. Pough is also one of 20 finalists for the highly coveted Buck Buchanan Award presented annually to the best defensive player in the FCS. With a strong season, Pough could break the FCS record for both total tackles and tackles for a loss in a career. Assisting Pough on the defensive side of the ball is red-shirt senior defensive back DeCarlos Knight. Knight, a 2012 preseason All-MEAC Second Team Selection, recorded 46 tackles, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and a pair of blocked kicks in the 2011 Season.
Offensively for the Bison, quarterback Greg McGhee, last year's MEAC Rookie of the Year, College Sports Networks "Inside the Huddle" 2011 Black College Freshman of the Year and inaugural Classic MVP, will be back under center for his sophomore season.
"Last year's victory over Morehouse was a huge win for us and was a catalyst for a great season for us," said Harrell. "With this year's Classic being the season opener for both teams, the energy and level of play is going to be that much more intense."
On the opposing sideline, the Maroon Tigers have reason to be confident as they were picked to win the East Division in the 2012 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) Football Preseason Poll. Eight Maroon Tigers were selected to the Preseason Football All-Conference Team including 2011 SIAC Player of the Year and AFCA All-American running back David Carter, who returns for his senior season. Carter is just 150 rushing yards shy of setting the career rushing yards record at Morehouse currently held by John David Washington (son of actor Denzel Washington) with 3,669 total yards. Last season, the Morehouse defense finished the season ranked second in total defense in the SIAC, and with three first team All-SIAC members they will aim to finish the 2012 season on top. They will look to build on a 2011-2012 season record of 8-2 as they seek redemption from last year's Classic nail-biting loss.
"Last year was the kind of game that football fans love to see, especially in an inaugural HBCU classic," said Morehouse Head Coach Rich Freeman. "While we didn't come out on top, I know our team played hard until the very last snap. As a coach, that's all you can ask for and this rivalry inspires the best performances out of our young players. We are looking forward to traveling back to the nation's capital, playing in this year's Classic and bringing the trophy home to Atlanta."
Morehouse's eight SIAC Preseason All-Conference selections include running back David Carter, offensive linemen Jan-Michael Coke, Marlon Jones and Shea Martin, defensive lineman Scottie Williams, defensive back Justin Oliver and linebackers Brandon Houston and Elijah Anderson.
Howard's four MEAC Preseason All-Conference selections include quarterback Greg McGhee, offensive lineman Cory Gwinner, linebacker Keith Pough and defensive back DeCarlos Knight.
Individual tickets for the football game are priced $25 to $50 (plus applicable fees), and on sale at ticketmaster.com http://www.ticketmaster.com/ATT-Nations-Football-Classic-tickets/artist/1560982http:/www.ticketmaster.com/ , Ticketmaster outlets, the Howard University Box Office located at Crampton Auditorium and the Morehouse College Bookstore. Group tickets, suites and premium tickets are available by calling the ATTNFC Hotline at 202-608-1135. Credit card payments accepted only (Mastercard and VISA).

Drug chains and their business partners are providing unique programs and services in recognition of American Diabetes Month.
Inside This Issue - News
NEW YORK – Drug chains and their business partners are providing unique programs and services in recognition of American Diabetes Month.
CVS Caremark Corp.'s MinuteClinic health clinic subsidiary, for example, has teamed up with Bayer Diabetes Care to offer free A1c tests at its clinics in select CVS pharmacies nationwide through November 25.
"Our goal is to provide convenient locations where the more than 24 million Americans with diabetes can walk in and see a practitioner to receive advice and basic testing to help them better monitor their condition," explains Andrew Sussman, president of MinuteClinic and senior vice president/associate chief medical officer at CVS Caremark. "The A1c test is the best measure available to assess a diabetes patient's immediate condition and determine whether any changes in treatment and lifestyle habits are needed."
At Rite Aid Corp., nearly 1,200 stores nationwide hosted Diabetes Solutions Days November 2 to November 4, offering free health screenings and self-management solutions to patients living with diabetes, caregivers and those concerned about diabetes.
Visitors also had the opportunity to get vaccinated against flu and/or pneumonia. Those vaccinations are considered especially important because flu and pneumonia kill between 10,000 and 30,000 diabetes patients every year.
The services are part of Rite Aid's year-round focus to help diabetes patients take the best care of themselves. The chain also provides cholesterol, blood glucose and blood pressure screenings; body mass index (BMI) readings; and personal pharmacist consultations.
Rite Aid is also offering a free 20-page Diabetes Care guide that was developed with the American Diabetes Association. The guide is being provided in Rite Aid stores and online at riteaid.com/diabetes.

FF's Trade Deadline Coverage Details
Many of you may have been around last year when Michael Farkas inaugurated the Faceoff Factor trade deadline liveblog. If not then, you may have been around for Farkas' free agency liveblog on July 1.
If so, you know what to expect: up-to-the-second updates of trades, signings and waiver claims beginning at 8:00 a.m. and ending when the trades end.
For those new to the process, note this: Farkas works the phones all day and frequently breaks news of trades before large media outlets, such as TSN, ESPN, and Sportnet.
This year, we'll add a few new elements.
- Farkas now not only will update live with each transaction, but he'll give his opinion as to who "won" in a trade, or if each signing or waiver claim is good or bad for a team.
- In addition to Farkas' liveblog, Zach Boslett and I will be updating regularly with in-depth stories of big trades (giving more information than we can fit in a table format in the liveblog) and rumors.
Needless to say, this is your one-stop shop for everything trade deadline.

Answer: When the fulcrum is located close to the load, a small force applied to the end of the lever bar farthest away from the fulcrum is magnified so that the lever bar easily moves the heavy load. The force is magnified when the long part of the lever bar moves through a great distance. The short part of the lever bar, located between the fulcrum and the load, moves through a much smaller distance.
There are three
types of levers: 1st Class, 2nd Class, and 3rd Class. The relative
position of the load, fulcrum and force determine the class of lever.

Surface Water Quality/National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
The Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) National pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is a federal program designed to reduce storwmater pollutant discharges to receiving waters of the United States.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) required that Seminole County, as well as the 7 cities within the County apply for and receive a MS4 NPDES permit. The overall goal of this permit, as part of the Federal Clean Water Act, is to reduce the amount of pollutants in stormwater runoff that is discharged directly into natural waterbodies, streams and river systems. This goal is achieved through a comprehensive stormwater program that includes water quality and biological monitoring, watershed and pollution prevention education and water quality improvement projects. The County is required by our MS4 NPDES permit to track all of our NPDES tasks throughout the year and to summarize them in an annual report which is submitted to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP).
The NPDES goal of pollution prevention is also achieved through state regulations that were implemented in the 1980's, which require developments to construct stormwater systems that provide water quality treatment for stormwater runoff typically in the form of a stormwater pond. Stormwater requirements associated with development are permitted either through the St. Johns River Water Management District (www.floridaswater.com), the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (www.dep.state.fl.us/mainpage/default.htm) as well as any necessary County development permits (www.seminolecountyfl.gov/gm/devrev).
As part of the County's NPDES permit compliance program, we sample lakes and rivers throughout the County. For more detailed information on water quality throughout the County please visit the Seminole County Watershed Atlas (www.seminole.wateratlas.org).

Below are some commonly asked questions concerning stormwater and NPDES:
What are the effects of stormwater runoff?
Stormwater runoff is the transport vehicle for pollutants. Any dirt, oil, grease, fertilizer or other pollutants on the ground can be picked up by stormwater runoff and carried into the stormdrains, lakes and rivers. These pollutants may include nutrients which provide food for unwanted aquatic plants like hydrilla and algae. Excessive algal growth can lead to decreased oxygen in the water that fish need to breath, resulting in fish kills. Bacteria and other pathogens from pet waste can create serious health hazards in ponds and lakes. See also our
Watershed video
What's the difference between a storm drain and a sewer drain?
The sewer drain and storm drain are two completely separate drains that go into two separate systems. The sewer drain and sewer system takes all household wastewater and routes it through a plumbing system into a wastewater treatment plant. Some examples of sewer drains you may see are in the wash area at the back of a restaurant and the drain in the floor of a public restroom. The storm system routes rainwater off the streets into a storm drain which empties into a stormwater pond or directly into a river, ditch or lake. Some examples of storm drains you may see include the open curb inlet along roadways and the square storm grate commonly seen in parking lots.
What is a stormwater pond?
You probably walk, cycle or drive by a stormwater pond almost every day. There are two main types of stormwater ponds, a detention pond which typically has water in it most of the year. These are the ponds that people often refer to as their neighborhood lakes. However, these ponds play a critical role in managing our surface water quantity and quality. Stormwater detention ponds are designed and constructed to reduce flooding and play an important role by catching and filtering polluted run-off from roads, parking lots and overfertilized lawns. While some pollutants biodegrade within the stormwater pond, others are more persistent and accumulate in the sediment. Therefore, one should never swim or eat fish from a stormwater detention pond. A storwmater retention pond is typically dry and usually only has water init for a few days after a rainstorm. These retention ponds also are designed to reduce flooding and filter stormwater runoff. The stormwater filters through the sand bottom and eventually enters the groundwater.
What is an illicit or illegal discharge?
Any substance released into the separate storm water drainage system that is not composed entirely of stormwater or uncontaminated groundwater. Examples of illicit discharges include dumping of motor vehicle fluids, household hazardous waste, paint, grass clipping, leaf litter or animal waste. Exemptions of allowable discharges are listed in Seminole County code Sec 270.400.
If you witness or think an illicit discharge is taking or has taken place, please call Seminole County at 407-665-ROAD or report it through the County's Watershed Atlas at

Roller Coasters and Air
Name: Joe F. Status: student Age: 16 Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 2001-2002
Hi, I am doing a roller caster project in my physics class. Every thing I've looked up on the Internet about coaster physics begins with "Neglecting air resistance...". What if I did not want to neglect air resistance what if I wanted to calculate it in my equations. How would I do that?
Including air resistance means a great deal more work. Air resistance takes into account the work necessary to move the air molecules out of the way so the cart can move forward. There is no specific formula for air resistance. It depends on the shape of the roller coaster cart: a flat front results in more air resistance than a rocket-shaped front. It depends on speed of the roller coaster, which is constantly changing. It depends on temperature and humidity, how dense the air is at that particular moment. If a scientist wanted to include air resistance, he would calculate the motion without air resistance for a similar roller coaster, make actual measurements for that similar coaster, and then figure an average effect of air resistance for that kind of roller coaster.
If you want the formula for air resistance, sometimes called aerodynamic drag, a formula that works well is (drag force)=-b*(speed)^2. Aerodynamic drag is proportional to the square of the object's speed. The "b" is a constant determined by experiment, based on all things mentioned above. There is no theoretical value for "b".
If the cart of a roller coaster is aerodynamically designed (not just a flat plate on the front) and has a significant amount of mass (maybe 500 lbs, with riders included), air resistance will not have a huge effect.
Dr. Ken Mellendorf
Physics Instructor
Illinois Central College
Neglecting air resistance is a pretty safe assumption on most coasters since the only surface area that would contribute to air resistance is the front part of the roller coaster. The coaster is so massive relative to the small area at the front contributing the most to wind load. Of course, this becomes less true for coasters like Batman at Magic Mountain, where your legs are hanging out in the air. Coasters like this would probably have a greater wind resistance / length of coaster. To qualitatively account for this you would need to consider the front part of the coaster as a wind load as well as the many tentacles (peoples legs) hanging from the large mass. To quantitatively account for the drag from peoples heads and legs would require a little knowledge of fluid dynamics and Stoke's Theorem. It is a pretty safe assumption to neglect air resistance.
-Darin Wagner
If you do not want to neglect air resistance, then you have a problem.
Air drag depends on the air density, the velocity squared, the cross-sectional area of the object, and the air-drag properties of the object.
Fine, that seems easy enough, except when you start trying to put numbers to these things and trying to solve them. A simple equation for drag is:
D = 1/2 * C * p * A * v * v
Drag equals on half of the drag coefficient times the air density times the cross-sectional area times the velocity squared.
So, when trying to calculate the velocity of the coaster, you will find that the velocity will depend on the acceleration, but the acceleration depends on the force, which in turn depends on the velocity squared. This is a differential equation, and it cannot be solved using simple algebra, or even advanced algebra. Additionally, the velocity will also depend on the wind speed in the direction of the coaster travel, and this will change throughout the ride.
Next, you have the density of air. This depends on the temperature, altitude, and humidity. You can use an average, but then you are not going to get an exact result.
The cross-sectional area is next. For a coaster, this will be a big problem to calculate. Typically, they are not simple circles, squares, etc. so it will have to be measured in some fashion. Additionally, the area will change during the ride. As you go around a corner, for example, different parts of the train will be moving in different directions. You always want the area in the direction of travel. So for each point along the track you will need to figure out the area. Again you could simply use one area and hope for the best. Additionally, the area will depend on the shapes and sizes of the riders, and will thus change for each ride.
Finally, you will need the drag coefficient. The way you get this is by measuring it in a wind tunnel or some other such mechanism. There really is not any way that it can be accurately determined any other way. The type of paint, exact shape, and all kinds of other things will affect this number. Again, this will change as you go around curves, and the riders change.
So once you have all this figured out for every point along the track, you are ready to rock and roll. However, you will have had to make many simplifications, and your numbers will not be very accurate, probably not even accurate within 50%. Additionally the equations will be extremely complicated. But if you do all that work, you will find that the air drag contributes a small amount to the overall forces. Coasters move at relatively slow speeds (compared to their terminal velocity), and so the velocity squared factor makes the air drag diminish rapidly at relatively slow speeds.
So, most people do the sane thing, realize that either way they will have to fudge the answers, so they say "Neglecting air resistance..." and use the simpler set of equations.
Alternatively, some computer systems model the air as millions of tiny particles, and simply run a simulation of the whole thing. If you have a software package that can do it, that is your best bet. The way this works is that at a given moment all the forces are calculated and determined, everything is moved a little bit, collisions are detected and resolved, and all the new velocities are worked out. Typically a few hundredths of a second are simulated each step. The math is quite simple, and it works fairly well. It again is not completely accurate, but can be made more accurate by taking smaller time slices and adding more particles to the simulation.
Hope this helps.
Eric Tolman
Computer Scientist
Roller coaster friction is significant. It is also remarkably complex and has no single, easy, formula for application. There is bearing friction which is temperature dependent. The air resistance varies by cross-sectional profile of the car, particularly the front car. Track conditions, materials, and wheel materials have influence. The barometric pressure, humidity, winds, and other atmospheric conditions effect the friction. Velocity profile of the ride matters, since air drag is not a linear function. Roller coasters used to be designed with a "friction profile" that was done more "by the seat of the pants" rather than calculated. We now have computer modeling, where every few milliseconds, we can model what is happening. It is an enormous amount of calculation. The different design companies closely guard this as proprietary information.

This study looked at prostate cancer patients who were found to have "adverse pathologic features" (invasion beyond the prostate or positive surgical margins) after surgical removal of the prostate. There are two schools of thought with regard to this group: treat with radiation after surgery, or wait until a recurrence occurs to start radiation. Patients were assigned between 6/15/88 and 1/1/97 to immediate radiation versus observation following prostatectomy. To date, the radiation group has a significantly improved "biochemical disease free survival" (defined as PSA<0.4) at both 5 and 10 years (See the table above for results). A large number of patients ultimately received hormone ablation therapy, but this was delayed an average of 2.5 years in the radiation group. Overall survival was improved in the radiation group, but did not achieve statistical significance (the level at which the improvement didn't just happen by chance). As for side effects, there were more reported in the radiation group during treatment, but 2 years post- surgery, the groups had similar quality-of-life scores, so that it seems the side effects resolved over time. A second study (EORTC study 22911) has also confirmed these results. These results mean that radiation therapy immediately after surgery should be considered standard of care in patients with "adverse pathologic features".
Sep 17, 2014 - For patients with high-risk prostate cancer, testosterone recovery is shorter for patients receiving 18 months versus 36 months of androgen deprivation therapy, and is associated with improved quality of life, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Radiation Oncology, held from Sept. 14 to 18 in San Francisco.

Children's Hospital of Wisconsin is committed to educating families about safe sleep practices. The A,B,C's of Safe Sleep stands for A = Alone, B = on the Back, C = in a Crib. During 2006-2009 more infant deaths occurred due to unsafe sleep practices than because of SIDS. Some of the unsafe practices included use of soft bedding such as pillows, blankets, quilts, or bumper pads; bed- sharing with adults or siblings; infants placed on tummies or sides when put to sleep; or infants placed on a couch, chair, car seat, or swing for sleep. Infant exposure to second hand smoke or adult caregivers who are impaired by alcohol or drugs can increase the risk.
What are the recommendations for safe sleep for infants?
- Place the infant on their back to sleep.
- The infant should be alone in a crib or Pack N' Play.
- Younger Infants (newborn until able to roll over) may be bundled for the first few months with cotton blankets wrapped snuggly around the baby up to the baby's chest with hands free, or older infants (around 3-4 months) can be placed in a sleep sack. Stop using sleep sacks once the infant pulls up or stands and transition to well fitting P.J.'s.
- Maintain a smoke free environment.
- Avoid overheating the infant. Baby should not be sweating or hot to the touch. Avoid using fleece because it doesn't breathe.
- Use a firm mattress covered with a fitted sheet.
- Remove pillows, blankets, stuffed toys, and other objects from the crib. Don't use devices to prop the baby on their side.
- Try a pacifier once breast feeding is established.
- Use an approved crib (slats no wider than a soda can).

My mom's writing a parent statement for my counselor for my college apps. And she just called me in to ask what sort of stuff she should put under the "any special challenges/obstacles your child has overcome..." section that my counselor didn't already know. I.e., did my counselor know that I was gay?
Hah, wow, I love it, I actually JUST checked out my Gay and Lesbian Guide to College Life from the library today!
So it was a touch awkward, but she started telling me how proud she is of me, the courage and confidence I've shown. She was tearing up a little (but just a little, thank god). Then she was asking me, oh, wasn't it wonderful to have the GSA there since 7th grade. Well, I only started going regularly last year (though I've wanted to since like 9th or 10th grade, but had a sched. conflict). I wanted to at first, but I quit right at the beginning of 7th grade "so people wouldn't think I was gay." Haha. Also, I think it might've been my mom who encouraged me to that. Oh well.
But still. That was... strange... (esp. considering that I spent the afternoon blowing off HW to watch lesbian short films on Logo). But nice. In a strange way... nice. Yeah. Or something.
BUT, homework now. Just wanted to share ^^

I wonder if there will be a consensus after this unofficial poll.
Seaweed cleanses? I don't think I want to know.
What I care about:
1: Universal healthcare, IOW Medicare for all.
2: Reining in the military/industrial/congressional complex. (Eisenhower said military/industrial complex in his speech just before leaving office but he originally included congress in it.)
3: Hauling the thieves of wall street into court to be tried for their massive and deliberate financial crimes.
4: Sending cheney/shrub/rumsfeld to the world court to be tried for their massive and deliberate war crimes.
5: A strong viable Socialist party for the USA to the left of the Democratic party and the elimination of the rethuglicon party. -
Sounds good.
But if we just had a Demo and a Socialist Party, would we still need the democrats? Couldn't the Socialist Party just control it all? -
If the portion of Lesbians to general population were equal to this strip's representation, we would have over population solved. :)
Lesbians have children. Just because they prefer intimacy with women, it doesn't mean that they don't have maternal instincts.
The conservatives are necessary to the Dielectic, comrade.
Single payer universal health care. The sensible choice for us. Something Pres. Obama gave lip service to but sold us out on to get a modified version of the present corporate health care. (The one kind no one else wants.)
True. Even the corps don't want it. That's why they created the tea party to oppose it.
If she's not careful she'll be at it until the sun goes down, maybe even after that :)
I suggest North Dakota.
Dielectric? Thought that had to do with anodes or cathodes or some such.
@ Clark Kent:
re #4 – what is your reason for omitting good ol' Condi Rice, the recent token combo Woman/Black shill at Augusta? (Imagine the constant smiles).
re the word "Socialism" – did you forget that the unthinking morons in the US Rightwingnut world are totally programmed to think Socialist=Communist=Dictatorship=Stalin?
They are utterly incapable of realizing the stunningly obvious fact that every nation on Earth that is more prosperous than the US is Socialist. They usually are just totally ignorant of the remotest shred of awareness that there actually ARE nations more prosperous than the US, with virtually no poverty, better public health, lower infant mortality, and better education.
They completely resist or ignore (if anyone dares suggest it to them) that the US is the ONLY developed country without some form of universal health care.
The Greedy Rich have done a masterful job of programming all their lower class slaves in the US. They march off to slaughter (work at poor paying jobs) with their grim rictuses firmly in place, self – righeously certain that they are doing what they must.

UKcrew South African Summer - FreeRide Project 2 'the beginning'
Following the success of the 'FreeRide Project' Movie that we produced at the end of 2011 after full years riding, we have decided to start work on the FreeRide Project 2. We kicked off 2013 in Cape Town, South Africa spending the season over there getting some riding in and re-connecting with the crew! (Hadlow, Court, Light and Boulding). True to form we where as unorganised as ever and all on our own schedules, none the less we have made a start...here is the pre-view to get the taste buds flowing:
The FRP2 will span the globe following the UKcrew riders Aaron Hadlow, Tom Court, Sam Light and James Boulding. We will hit some different countries, new locations and ride with the local crew's wherever we go...expect to see some action from more riders in this movie!!

Put your passion into focus.
The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) has recognized several specific teaching and learning strategies as High Impact Practices. These educational approaches have been successful in supporting in-depth learning at the college level. Some of these key High-Impact Practices shape our Big History program—a first-year experience that is a common intellectual experience and writing intensive. Second Year Experience "Colloquium" delivers content using additional High Impact Practices while still fostering the development of writing and research skills. High Impact Practices used in experiential learning colloquia are Service Learning and Community Based Research.
My colloquium helped me gain a profound understanding of my relationship with food and the Earth. Because of our colloquium, I became aware of the factors that affect a community's food access. I also gained the wisdom to know what choices and what actions I need to take in order to provide a healthy lifestyle for myself, my family, and my community. – J. TeodoroExperiential Learning at Dominican University of California helps prepare students to be socially responsible global citizens and ethical leaders who incorporate the Dominican values of study, reflection, community, and service into both their professional and personal lives. Integrating knowledge with action in the local and international community, students engage in a process that includes appropriate preparation and ongoing reflection to develop the habits of mind required to learn effectively from experience and to address complex issues in our interconnected world.
No more waiting for graduation to put your knowledge to work in the real world. Collaborate with a local non-profit, conduct research with community partners, or collect data in a national park. In the "Colloquium" program the San Francisco Bay Area is your classroom!
Service-Learning integrates meaningful community work, through planned and mutually beneficial partnerships, with academic curriculum, enriching learning through intentional reflection on the dynamic relationship between theory and practice. Service-Learning embraces the principles of reciprocity between all parties—the community partners are co-educators, faculty and students are engaged citizens, and the academy becomes an active member of the local and global community. Please visit Dominican's Service-Learning Program page for more information.
Community-Based Research is "a partnership of students, faculty and community members who collaboratively engage in research with the purpose of solving a pressing community problem or effecting social change" (Strand, Marullo, Cutforth, Stoecker, Donohue. Community-Based Research and Higher Education. 2003)
Fieldwork is any study or project conducted in person, in a natural or community setting outside of a classroom, possibly through interviews, surveys, observation, data collection. It is not necessarily done to meet community-identified interests or in conjunction with a community partner. This includes projects done on campus. Therefore it is experiential but not necessarily Service-Learning or Community-Based Research.
