Diarrhea, or loose bowel movements, can occur for many reasons. Food poisoning and infections are the most common causes of acute diarrhea. Chronic diarrhea may be caused by ongoing illnesses of the digestive tract, such as inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome.
Appropriate treatment involves addressing the cause of the diarrhea, if possible. In many cases, however, all that can be done is to treat the symptoms.
Note: Prolonged or severe diarrhea can be dangerous, especially in small children and seniors. The greatest risk is severe dehydration. This can often be corrected through the use of special oral solutions, but in some cases intravenous fluids may be required.
Two trials investigating the treatment of childhood diarrhea with homeopathic remedies were performed in Leon, Nicaragua, and a third one was performed in Nepal, all by a single research group. Overall, the results suggest benefit with homeopathic treatment determined by classical homeopathic evaluation.
The first study followed 81 Nicaraguan children aged 6 months to 5 years, each of whom had acute diarrhea.1 Each child had a classical homeopathic evaluation and then was assigned an individual remedy in the potency 30c, or placebo. The results showed statistically significant improvement in the treated group as compared to the placebo group. (Both groups were also treated with standard oral fluid solutions to counteract dehydration.)
Positive results were also reported in a very similar study of 126 Nepalese children.2
However, a trial of much the same design but including only 33 children, failed to find meaningful evidence of benefit.3 Note that for statistical reasons, studies with fewer participants are relatively likely to miss actual benefits; therefore, this study does not, in fact, tend to invalidate the other two.
Another study by these researchers enrolled 292 Honduran children with acute diarrhea, and tested a fixed combination containing five popular homeopathic remedies.4 The combination remedy failed to prove more effective than placebo.
In classical homeopathy, there are many possible homeopathic treatments for diarrhea, to be chosen based on various specific details of the person seeking treatment.
When a child has diarrhea that is characterized by profuse, foul-smelling stools that are watery, gushing, and painless, and he has a great thirst for large quantities of cold water, then his condition may fit the symptom picture for the homeopathic remedy Podophyllum. He might also be fidgety and restless.
However, if a child is generally hot and desires cold drinks, and has colicky, slimy, foul-smelling diarrhea with green stools that look like green grass, her condition might fit the symptom picture for the homeopathic remedy Chamomilla.
When a child is restless, anxious, and fearful, feels much worse around midnight and has painful diarrhea with burning sensations, he may fit the symptom picture for homeopathic Arsenicum. Other characteristic symptoms include a red, sore anus, discomfort that is relieved by hot applications, and the complaint of feeling chilly, especially on his arms and legs.
For herbs, supplements, and other alternative treatments that may be useful for this condition, see the Diarrhea article.

loved everything about it
Harvest of Love Square Invitations I pinned this invite months before I got engaged. I love how modern the card is. I really loved how easy it was to personalize the colors and quickly get a sample of my exact design. These are very high quality without a high price!
Very Elegant
Half & Half Square Invitations These cards are classy and elegant. The flexibility to customize is great and the quality is wonderful.
Invitation- just what I wanted
Half & Half Square Invitations I loved the way our invitation turned out. I was able to print color on both sides and have it go hand in hand with ur save the date magnet. The only thing I would change is perhaps a little thicker paper option and perhaps a silver or grey envelope. Other than that, I love them!

TeenTelevision is with Lucy Hale (Aria) at the ABC building in Burbank to talk love triangles on the show, what the girls do off set, her fave internet shopping sites and what she really wishes the writers would let Lucy do on "Pretty Little Liars" before the show finally wraps.
Picture this gorgeous, petite brunette wearing a trendy Alice + Olivia black cocktail dress embellished with faux gems and lots of chains. Let's dish….
TeenTelevision: "Liars" is starting up in the summer. Do you have any summer plans this year?
Lucy Hale: I'm going to Rome in June. My best friend is getting married. So I'm really excited. Well, I literally am going to be there for a day and a half because I have to get back to work. But they gave me two days off. So I'm going to go on a weekend and do that. And we're doing a lot of traveling this summer. Like New York and Toronto. I love travelling and I don't get to do it a lot.
TeenTelevision: Go ahead and tell us all the major things that happen this season (yeah, right).
Lucy Hale: I'll share what I can. We pick up where we left off in the finale. We're trying to track down Ian's body and we don't know if he's really dead. If he is "A", did he kill Alison? If he's not, who is "A"? Did "A" kill Ian? All these different questions. But as far as Aria's storyline, she's still with Mr. Fitz and he's no longer a teacher at the school. He's teaching at a college now. And so they can legally date in Pennsylvania. They actually went and figured out that it is legal in Pennsylvania when she's sixteen/seventeen, to date an older man. So she's doing that.
TeenTelevision: Yay!
Lucy Hale: Ah, but there's a love triangle. There's someone else that catches Aria's eye who is more age appropriate, I guess you could say. And she's just dealing with her brother. What we're filming now is Aria's little brother is rebelling a lot in a major way and that's another thing to add to the whole mixture of her crazy life.
TeenTelevision: So, anything more on this love triangle?
Lucy Hale: It's very interesting. It makes her realize how much she really is risking by being with Ezra. The two guys are completely different. Like couldn't be more opposite. So I don't know at this point, which guy she's going to choose. I don't know. Noel is not in the love triangle but he is involved in the second season. That's all I can say.
TeenTelevision: Are you personally more attracted to an older guy or age appropriate guy?
Lucy Hale: I've dated both. I don't discriminate on anything, you know. All options.
TeenTelevision: Troian and Shay were saying how you girls are all close friends. So between the four of you, who gives the best advice?
Lucy Hale: Probably Troian. Troian is very intelligent and she grew up in this business with her dad being who he is (producer Donald Bellasario). And she's just seen it all. And she's so grounded. She is like the older sister. She's just very smart. Not that the other girls aren't. She's wise like beyond her years wise. Like old soul to the max. She's really cool. Really funny, too. I don't think people realize she is so funny.
TeenTelevision: Before the show is over finally, what do you wish the show runners would let Aria do that she never gets to do that you think would be fun for you as an actress?
Lucy Hale: In season two they actually are showing more of her lighter side. I feel like Aria's very sarcastic. And they're giving her more lines like that. And I just want to see them all just go do something fun without "A", drama free. Yeah, just like an episode of nothing goes wrong. I know that's why the show is successful is because everything goes wrong, but I want to see them travel. There are talks of maybe New York for third season for an episode. Whether that happens, I don't know. But that would be fun.
TeenTelevision: What's been your favorite off-screen bonding moment with you co-stars?
Lucy Hale: We went to Toronto in February. I mean nothing really special happened but we all just went out one night and had dinner. It was just really fun. And it just made me realize I work with some pretty cool girls. We have a good time all the time, though.
TeenTelevision: Are you ladies still on your laptops shopping between scenes on set? On a set visit, I saw you doing that.
Lucy Hale: All the time. It's an issue. It's got to stop. We have fun, though.
I like ASOS, Revolve Clothing, Topshop. There's this really one cool one called etsy.com, which is all homemade stuff. Each seller has their different site within this site. And you can find anything. Like things that nobody else will have. They sell food on there, too. And it's like I would not buy food from someone I don't know. That's a little weird. I draw the line there.
TeenTelevision: How has this show changed your life?
Lucy Hale: It's changed my time. It's mainly a lot of scheduling changes. We're working every day of the week. We have the weekends off. But my personal life hasn't really changed. I get recognized here and there but I don't get chased around by the paparazzi or anything. I'm just a lot busier. And get to go to fun events and wear dresses that I would never get to wear.
TeenTelevision: What is it about you that makes you like acting?
Lucy Hale: I just enjoy being artistic. I love singing. I love cooking. I like to paint. I'm not good at it but I like to do it. It's just a way of expressing myself and I feel like you really learn a lot about who you are. You're always growing and you're always taking one step forward. You're always going to become a better actress. I get to work with great people. And it's really cool to be surrounded by people who are really passionate because it's just really inspiring.
TeenTelevision: What's happening for you musically?
Lucy Hale: I just did a ABC Family movie with Warner Brothers, which will be out on DVD this fall and on ABC Family next year. It's called, 'A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song' and I play a singer. I got to record some music for that. It's going to be fun. I can't wait for the soundtrack to be released. And so aside from that I haven't really been working on anything. But I'd like to.
TeenTelevision: Who is the prince in this Cinderella Story?
Lucy Hale: His name is Freddie Stroma. And he's British. And he's gorgeous. Yeah.
TeenTelevision: How do you like to unwind after an exhausting day on the set?
Lucy Hale: I love to catch up on my TiVo. I watch 'Modern Family' and 'Glee'. But I also watch really weird shows. My favorite show ever is 'Bizarre Foods' with Andrew Zimmern. I love it. And I love Discovery Health Channel. It sounds really weird but I like watching surgery so I love to watch TV and play music. I have a dog. And then just sleep. Good old sleep. Yeah.
TeenTelevision: Who do you hope is a guest star on the show someday? I guess I'm asking for somebody you really like a lot and hope comes on.
Lucy Hale: Yeah, I have a girlfriend named Megan Park who is actually on 'Secret Life'. And I think she would fit in really good on the show.

The B&B is located close to the Vatican, so it's easy to get to all the interesting sights quickly. There are also quite a few good restaurants in the area. The owners are very friendly, everything is clean, the breakfast is good, consisting of toast with lots of sweet stuff (jam, nutella, etc. - no cheese, eggs, etc.) and cappucchino, tea or hot chocolate. The only things I can criticize are that the walls are quite thin and you can hear everything your neighbours do as well as the loud street.

Yes you did and I completely forgot about it (that's what you get when it didn't arive on the TODO list for some reason, my memory goes blank after a while). Ok, it has been changed. I'll be testing this just to make sure it behaves as we all want it to but I don't see why not and I assume you have tested it too before you pointed it out so I don't expect it not to work now.

The Government insists only creditworthy borrowers will be able to buy homes with its Help to Buy scheme, as it revealed more details about its housing stimulus programme.

How to buy a new property
The first stage of Help to Buy, which was launched in April, offers interest-free loans of up to £120,000 to give people in England the chance to buy a new-build home with a deposit of just 5% (see the Help to Buy mortgage scheme to launch MSE News story).
Now Chancellor George Osborne has met major housebuilders and mortgage lenders to flesh out plans for the second stage of the scheme, which will see the Government give a guarantee to lenders to encourage more lending to those with smaller deposits on any home from January 2014.
The next stage, which will cover both existing and newly-built homes, will see the state guaranteeing a proportion of a home loan, covering the risk of borrowers not being able to repay (see our Mortgage Schemes guide for the full details).
Guarantees will only be available to borrowers who can afford the mortgages, while those with bad credit ratings will be excluded, the Treasury insists. The scheme will include income checks and stress testing.
It adds guarantees will also not be available for second home purchases, and lenders will be required to collect a declaration stating that the borrower has no interest in a property anywhere else in the world.
It will also not be able to be used in conjunction with any other Government-backed scheme.

How does the guarantee work?
The scheme will be available on homes worth up to £600,000. The state will offer guarantees totalling up to £12 billion on £130 billion of lending. Lenders will pay a fee to use the guarantee.
The current stage of Help To Buy allows people to buy a new-build home worth up to £600,000 with a Government loan of up to 20%, interest-free for five years.
But the guarantee plans have been widely criticised for risking inflating another housing bubble and piling huge housing risk on the Government.
Osborne says: "I'm determined to back people who want to do their best for their families. Help to Buy is about getting behind those who aspire to own a home.
"The mortgage guarantee will support an increase in high loan-to-value mortgages for people who can't afford large deposits, and it will also boost housebuilding. As of today lenders have the detail they need to go away and get ready for next January's launch."

AURORA, Colo. - The police chief in the Denver suburb where a gunman shot 71 people says the suspect was arrested soon after officers arrived.
Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates says hundreds of calls came in starting at 12:39 a.m. MDT Friday and officers were on the scene within 60 to 90 seconds.
He says 24-year-old James Holmes was taken into custody at his white Hyundai parked in back of the theater.
Oates says eventually, 200 officers responded.
The chief says officers found an AR-15 assault rifle -- the civilian form of the M-16 -- a Remington 12-guage shotgun and a .40-caliber Glock handgun in the theater and another identical handgun in the car. Oates says the gunman set off two devices to distract the crowd that released a smoke or an irritant.

Austin's historic Rosewood Courts
Published by
onBy Fred McGhee
"Live Music Capital of the World," "City of the Violet Crown," "Silicon Hills," and "Bat City" are Austin nicknames known the world over. Should "New Deal Utopia" be among them? More specifically, is it appropriate to refer to Austin as a "Public Housing Haven" for its important legacy in this area? I would argue that it is.

Breaking the trend of the last few days, my tale of harassment happens on a train rather than on the street.
Although I've had my fair share of leery, creepy men and their unwanted attention, I've never experienced the kind of verbal abuse that lots of women were talking about last week. My story is not about drunk men, dark evenings and inappropriate banter. It happened on a commuter train, silently, in the middle of the day.
It began relatively innocuously. I was minding my own business, nursing a (slight) hangover on a Virgin train between Birmingham and London at around five o'clock on a cold December afternoon in the window seat of a carriage full to the brim with businessmen (quietly) conducting their business on their laptops, (loudly) discussing their next meeting on their iPhones and Blackberries and (probably) texting their mistresses the time they were coming over that weekend.
At Rugby a man came and sat next to me. This in itself wasn't all that remarkable as there were few free seats left on the train and despite my slight claustrophobia and dislike of people I don't know near me it did not bother me too much. For half an hour nothing happened, I looked out the window, listening to my iPod and thought about the night before while he read the Daily Star or some other tabloid that I wasn't really paying attention to.
Then he decided to 'fall asleep'.
I didn't noticed much at first until his fingers started to graze my thigh slightly. I shifted uncomfortably so they'd fall off, yet the hand remained. I coughed loudly so he was jolted awake and his hand moved as he stirred. Thinking it was innocent I looked out the window again. A few minutes later I felt the hand again this time they were edging a bit closer to my crotch. Then I realised his eyelashes were flickering the way my little sister and I's used to when we were little and were trying to feign sleep to my parents.
Horrified that this was deliberate I trying edging closer to the window but, as anyone who has ever been on a Virgin train will attest that, this did not make much difference.
So I was stuck. Of course what pass through my mind was forcibly pushing his hand away, telling him to piss off or standing up and asking one of the other passengers to swap with me. But I did nothing. I squirmed and I wriggled and I squished myself up against the window until he got off the stop before I did. I think it went on for another half an hour in all.
And I did nothing. That's the worst. Out of everything that has happen in my life, this particular incident doesn't make the top ten on its own. It's not what happened, or that horrible guy, it's how I reacted.
I wanted to say something but I was too scared of what other people would think. I was scared that I was overreacting. Because he didn't try to grope me fully and because I was wearing jeans I tried to rationalise it and told myself that if I screamed everyone else who just think I'm being over dramatic. The other businessmen might have sided with the guy or thought I'd made it up.
This is why I want to tell this story and why I decided to publish it under my own name even though I'd rather my parents didn't find out about it. My mother told me a story years ago about being groped on the Underground in her twenties as part of her 'don't trust strangers' speech at around ten or eleven but as I was already becoming a nascent feminist I assumed that this sort of thing didn't happen anymore, especially not to girls like me. The Queen of standing up to the boys, feminist rhetoric and answering back.
To paraphrase a bad* eighties movie; nobody puts me in a corner.
And yet I let this happen because I was scared people would think I was a silly little girl. In hindsight, those men probably would have rushed to my defence if I'd protested but I was too afraid to test that theory because there are so many occasions where women are told we're overreacting to sexism and abuse; its harmless or just 'a bit of banter'.
So in a way I suppose this is my call to arms. We've won a lot of battles over the past hundred years, we can vote, think and say what we like; we have options to fight back against this sort of thing we just have to use them. Just because we can shrug it off doesn't mean we should or that men like that should be allowed to get away with it.
When it comes to sneaky abuse like this its time women fought back because when we do will probably find everyone is already behind us.

There were some truly beautiful hair and makeup looks on the 2014 Independent Spirit Awards red carpet from all of your favorite stars! See below for our choices for best beauty, click through our gallery, and vote for your favorite!
The 29th annual Independent Spirit Awards on March 1 had some of the most pretty and polished hair and makeup looks we've seen this awards season! Given that the Spirit Awards happen in a tent on the beach in Santa Monica, the watchword seems to be "fresh," as all of our lovely ladies kept it simple on the day before the ultra-glam Oscars.
2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards Best Hair & Beauty: Shailene Woodley & Lupita Nyong'o
The Fault In Our Stars lead Shailene Woodley looked naturally beautiful on the carpet, opting for nude gloss and a light peachy blush. Big lashes brought out her gorgeous hazel eyes, and we just love her slightly ombre pixie cut! Four for you, Shailene.
Spirit Awards Best Dressed 2014: Lupita Nyong'o, Jared Leto & More
Our girl Lupita Nyong'o went with a gold eyeshadow to pair with her metallic gold romper and her skin, of course, looked as flawless as it ever does. We loved her hair, too — with so little to work with, she manages to get so many great looks out of it! Remember the filled-in widow's peak she rocked at the Critics' Choice Awards?
2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards Best Hair & Beauty: Anna Kendrick, Reese Witherspoon & Jared Leto
Anna Kendrick totally killed it — her wavy side ponytail was the perfect casual look, and her ombre color was pronounced in the wispy bangs she left out of the ponytail to frame her face. Big, thick lashes framed her bright eyes and a rosy pink lip went perfectly with her ivory skintone! Just gorgeous!
Spirit Awards Red Carpet 2014: Jared Leto, Anna Kendrick & More
Another star who always looks great in back-to-basic beauty looks is Reese Witherspoon, looking super pretty with a teased, messy updo. Like Anna, she kept the focus on her bright eyes with some bold black liner and lashes and a minimal pink lip with a peachy bronze blush.
Honorable mention: Jared Leto. He looked beautiful, okay? And as genetically blessed as he is, we KNOW that some intense hair care is going into that routine. We will die on this hill: Jared Leto for best beauty, hands down.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I love this more in person! I ordered these for a 50th anniversary party and they are lovely. I was concerned that the color would be yellow but it wasn't. It was more of a gold color, perfect for what I was purchasing for. I did cut edges and it turned out beautiful. The proof readers were awesome too. What a great feature to have. Turnaround time was fantastic too. I can't say enough!"
"I was so pleased with how the menus turned out. These cards are truly lovely and I know our guests are going to love them too."
"We are having a nautical wedding in summer and chose navy blue for this menu card. Exquisite, heavy card stock, looks so much more professional than what you can print on your own computer. Suggestion - if you are having a buffet like we are, you can change the titles of the courses to read other things. For instance, we broke it down as Chilled Hors D'ouevres, Hot Hors D'ouevres, Entree and Dessert. You can play around with the titles until you get it to reflect the meal you are serving. Wish I'd ordered more!"
"Very elegant menu card, the quality of paper is excellent, I would order again if I need to and I will recommend to friends"
"I order this exact design for my wedding invitation/response card/enclosure card and thought that the menu would be a perfect addition. It added a burst of color to the table and complimented my centerpieces very well. Please be mindful that the 'fushia' color appears as more of a 'violet' color when printed. It is best to order samples to ensure that the color is goes with your wedding colors/theme. The paper quality is excellent and the watercolor images are stunning."

Current_Issue.tar.gz - Linux Means Business--and Fun
This month, we focus on Linux in the enterprise. No, not that Enterprise (I'm pretty sure I used the Star Trek joke last year). We're talking about large deployments of Linux. One awesome thing about such an issue focus is that it really doesn't apply only to folks administering huge networks. Most of the features scale down quite nicely for those of us administering a closet in our bedroom, a server rack in the basement or just a database on the couch. In fact, Reuven M. Lerner talks about CouchDB this month. Silly name aside, CouchDB is becoming more and more popular as a non-relational database. If you like what Canonical is doing with its syncing technology in Ubuntu One, you'll want to check out the underlying framework it uses—first and foremost, CouchDB.
Bill Childers has his head up in the clouds again, and this time he shows us how to set up our own cloud with Eucalyptus. Sure Amazon and that ilk are great if you don't have your own servers, but if you already own the hardware, why not make your own cloud? Bill shows how. If you already have your servers set up, perhaps you're just at the point when you need to administer them, whether they're in the cloud or not. Kyle Rankin, an enterprise sysadmin himself, presents a few more tricks of the trade with a series of crafty ways to use SSH.
Perhaps you're not interested in setting up a cloud, and you just want to make your existing servers (or cloud) do something useful. We have plenty of that this month too. Dave Taylor continues his series on scripting HTML forms, Michael Nugent talks about MySQL replication, and Daniel Bartholomew discusses SQL vs. NoSQL (where we get to watch Daniel battle his own version of Point/Counterpoint). Regardless of what services you offer on your servers, you need to be able to monitor them. Also in this issue, Paul Tader shows us Zabbix, a cross-platform monitoring tool that takes much of the sting out of setting up monitoring.
For some of us, Linux in the enterprise is only a dream we'd like to see come to fruition. We labor over our Linux machines at home, yet at work, we're stuck with proprietary operating systems and closed-source programs. Jeramiah Bowling compares Microsoft Windows and Linux in the enterprise, pulling the rug out from under some common misconceptions and providing some real data we might use to demonstrate where Linux might be a better fit. Unfortunately, even if the logic is clear, sometimes politics are a bigger stumbling block than feasibility. Avi Deitcher writes about the whole process of introducing open-source software and ideals to business folks. It's often a difficult undertaking, and Avi has some smart tips.
What if enterprise Linux doesn't interest you at all? Don't worry; we understand. And, even if you work on Linux in the enterprise, sometimes it's nice to come home and enjoy your own Linux machines without worrying about clouds, monitoring, scalability and other 9-to-5-sounding words. Jono Bacon introduces us to Quickly this month. Quickly is a program that supplies templates, tools and a framework to allow quick desktop application development. If you've ever wanted to make your own applications, but didn't want to go through the frustration of the traditional development model, Quickly might be right up your alley.
We also have a review of the Coyote Point Application Balancer, Dirk Elmendorf covers desktop document scanning, and John Knight introduces some fresh projects. Plus, there are all the other articles that make Linux Journal such a fun magazine for geeks. So whether you're building your own cloud, tweaking your existing infrastructure or just killing time on the command line, this issue has you covered.
Shawn Powers is the Associate Editor for Linux Journal. He's also the Gadget Guy for LinuxJournal.com, and he has an interesting collection of vintage Garfield coffee mugs. Don't let his silly hairdo fool you, he's a pretty ordinary guy and can be reached via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. Or, swing by the #linuxjournal IRC channel on Freenode.net.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

April 27 marks the start of the ninth-annual Western Regional International Health Conference (WRIHC), a UW student-organized event that focuses on issues pertaining to global health.
"Global health is such a broad discipline that we have a wide range of interdisciplinary students," Colleen Fulp said. As the coordinator of the WRIHC and a graduate student pursuing a master's in African studies at the Jackson School of International Studies, she works closely with a student committee to organize every aspect of the conference.
"We have students from the school of social work, global health minors, engineers, chemists … essentially, the range of students involved is what is necessary to be able to focus on all the issues that global health encompasses," Fulp said.
With the HUB under construction, the events are spread across Kane, Mary Gates, and Johnson Halls. Breakfasts are served along with other refreshments and amenities for conference attendees, who will choose between a wide array of lectures on diverse topics.
"The student committee, which is around 30 students this year from virtually every department at UW, chose the central theme of this conference as 'At a Crossroads: Choosing Hidden Paths in Global Health,'" Fulp said, "We thought that the same issues are brought up a lot at health conferences, and so we wanted to emphasize those rarely seen."
That same committee produces a list of candidates for speakers and, after several meetings, whittles down the list in order to find candidates with the most suitable background and experience.
"They also work with a small faculty advisory group," said Daren Wade, director of the Global Health Resource Center. "The primary goal is to bring a variety of professionals together so that they can inform and connect students."
Wade also highlighted how the conference attracts students from the entire West Coast; he said the attendees include students from Oregon, Arizona, and California, in addition to the UW. The organizers originally aimed for 600 attendees but are already past their target and expect approximately 700.
The conference's attendance and prestige have only grown since the first conference in November 2002 at the UW, with Dr. William Foege, fellow of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as the first keynote speaker. Since then, keynote speakers have included Dr. Jim Yong Kim, who was recently chosen as the president of the World Bank, and Jeffrey Sachs, a noted economist.
Kavita Ramdas is the keynote speaker at this conference.
"She underlines the theme of the conference quite well, as she works on a lot of the issues that aren't addressed as often at health conferences as others," Fulp said. "Generally, she emphasizes local organization and representation of marginalized communities."
Ramdas is not only the current executive director of the Program on Social Entrepreneurship at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford but also served as president and CEO of the Global Fund for Women from 1996 to 2010, more than doubling the amount of aid available for women's human rights during her stay.
"She has a deep breadth of experience with the lesser-known issues the conference is dealing with," Wade said. "Her talk treads on inequality, social justice, and health, topics that are highly correlated yet not always dwelt upon."
Ramdas and other prestigious speakers, including UW faculty such as Jurgen Unutzer, Judith Wasserheit, Benita Beamon, and Deepa Rao, will present panels on topics ranging from global health diplomacy to global health and the environment. Eighteen breakout sessions will open discussion, spanning funding to clinical issues.
"It's the coordination between graduate and undergraduate, department by department, that really made the conference possible," Fulp said. "The logistics are challenging; allocating funding and utilizing the right sponsors in the right places."
The conference switches locations along the West Coast, moving from Simon Fraser University and University of British Columbia to the University of Arizona. The regional sponsorship of more than two dozen universities and colleges also makes the task easier.
"We get a certain amount of funding from the Department of Global Health," Wade said. "From there, we allocate the budget and then determine the entrance fee."
Attending the conference costs $50 for students and will run until April 21.

The Great Residence Hotel & BKK Suvarnabhumi International Airport are unaffected by the ongoing protests in Bangkok City (appx. 32 Km away). The Airport Vicinity is operating as per usual schedule.
More Info On This Bangkok Airport Hotel
Media Releaase – TAT NEWS – Issued at Bangkok at 12.00 hrs. (GMT+7) on 1 December 2013
The ongoing anti-government protests in Bangkok since early October have been normal to peaceful, & have mostly been taking places at non-tourist attractions. During November, although the gatherings & mobilisations of large crowds in different parts of the city at certain times have caused heavy road traffic, there have been no cases of chaos or violence. Tourists can still travel safely between their hotels, using road-transport, skytrain, subway & water-transport, to many attractions in Bangkok.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) expresses our condolences to families, relatives & friends on the unexpected turn of event for anti-government protesters at Ramkhamhaeng University on Ramkhamhaeng Road, following the clashes between the anti-government protesters (mostly students) & pro-government "red-shirt" supporters that lasted from yesterday evening until this morning. According to Erawan Emergency Center, at least two were killed & 45 more are injured. Meanwhile, Ramkhamhaeng University has announced that more than 2,000 anti-government protesters, mostly students, remain inside the university. No tourists were affected by the incident. Ramkhamhaeng area is in Hua Mark district of Bangkok, & is not where tourists normally go to.
During today, the anti-government protesters remain largely at five main stages at the following locations.
- Democracy Monument on Ratchadamnoen Klang Avenue
- Ministry of Finance on Rama VI Road
- Government Complex on Chaengwattana Road
- Nang Lerng Junction on Nakhonsawan-Phitsanulok Roads
- Makkawan Bridge on Ratchadamnoen Nok Avenue
In addition, the anti-government protesters have announced plans to rally to various locations today. The following locations are where the anti-government protesters may march to.
- Government House on Luk Luang-Phitsanulok Roads
- Royal Thai Police on Rama I Road
- Metropolitan Police Bureau on Si Ayutthaya Road
- Ministry of Education on Ratchadamnoen Nok Avenue
- Ministry of Labour on Mit Maitri Road (off Din Daeng Road)

- TV Station Channel 7 on Phahon Yothin Road
- TV Station Channel 9 on Rama IX Road
- TV Station Channel 11 on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road
- TV Station Channel Thai PBS on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road
During late this morning, there have been reports of tear gas canisters thrown by police in an attempt to prevent the protesters to rally into restricted areas. The incidents occurred within a limited area near Government House & the Parliament only.
Meanwhile, the pro-government supporters have announced an end to their gatherings at Rajamangala Stadium on Ramkhamhaeng Road.
Outside of Bangkok, the anti-government protesters are moreover rallying at several provincial administration halls. Officials have confirmed that none of the provincial halls have been seized by the protesters. No chaos or violence has been reported.
For tourists visiting the kingdom, it should be stressed that foreigners and/or tourists have not been targeted in the ongoing political protests.
However, tourists are advised to be vigilant & avoid areas where crowds may gather. Given the large number of people expecting to attend rallies at the five main locations as well as to join the marches to different locations, roads around or within the protest & rally routes areas maybe temporarily closed to traffic or there may be heavy road traffic at certain times. Tourists are advised to check travel route & road traffic situation to avoid getting caught in traffic.
The Royal Thai Army has advised the public not to panic if they see troops on the move during today & tomorrow (1-2 December 2013).
A total of 12 battalions of royal guards from Prachin Buri, Chon Buri, Nakhon Nayok & Lop Buri & one cavalry battalion of royal guards from Bangkok will be travelling to an oath-taking ceremony for His Majesty King Bhumibhol Adulyadej's birthday on 5 December in Hua Hin, Prachuab Khiri Khan. They will return to their bases after the ceremony.

Nick Montana won't continue the family tradition of playing quarterback for Notre Dame. The Oaks Christian signal caller committed to Washington and new head coach Steve Sarkisian according to the Seattle Times. Montana, one of the top targets on the board for Notre Dame at quarterback, picked the Washington over traditional power houses like Notre Dame, LSU, Ohio State, and Alabama.
"He's an awesome coach," Nick Montana said. "You just have to look at all the guys he's put into the pros."
"He [Sarkisian] is going to get the place turned around," Montana said.
Montana said his father had no complaints that his son wouldn't follow his South Bend footsteps, saying "he's pumped up as well."
With Montana off the board, look for Notre Dame to put the full court press on Andrew Hendrix who visited Notre Dame this week. Hendrix won't bring the fanfare with him that Montana would have, but some believe that Hendrix has more upside than Montana. In fact, Brian Smith recently wrote on the Irish Sports Daily blog that Hendrix sits atop his priority list of remaining recruits.
Yes, I believe Hendrix to be a better player than Montana, not that Montana is a slouch by any stretch of the imagination. If not Hendrix, then Montana goes into this slot. Notre Dame needs a big-time signal caller for this class.
While it would have definitely be great to have another Montana line up under center for the Irish, Weis and staff will have to move on and focus on landing a top notch quarterback like Hendrix for this class after not signing a quarterback last year.
Another name to look out for is Luke Massa. Massa visited for the Blue/Gold game and is a teammate of offensive tackle recruit Matt James. Massa does not yet have an offer from the Irish, but with prospects like Montana, Jake Heaps, and Austin Hinder off the board for the Irish, Notre Dame might have to widen its search for a quarterback for this class.

Queer…We can get Jimmy Hendrix's kid…lol

Oh well best of luck to him. Hopefully we keep the family tradition going with Anthony Barr. That kid is a STUD
C-Dog commented on June 15th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
All the best for Nick Montana. No one should be upset. Neither Nick, Joe his dad, nor the Notre Dame staff should look back.
Good coaching causes creme to rise to the top. No one knew who Joe Montana was when he came to ND. He was 3rd string until injuries. These kids are over developed and over analyzed. I'd like to see an underdeveloped, under the radar great athlete with great character. Weis can mold that into your winner.[Reply]
Ryno commented on June 24th, 2009 at 1:54 am
Hendrix looks like a lock to commit to ND any day now. Andrew probably has more talent than Montana. That will all play out in four years but it still sucks to lose a legacy.

Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Foundation
Average Rating 3.6/5 |
Review by Mojie
I really wanted to love this foundation in spite of having more foundation that I can realistically use already. I've had good results with MUFE's HD loose powder and based on the good reviews here on MUA, I thought this would be a sure-fire winner.
After reading reviews here, I ordered this in 115 Ivory (I wear NW20 in MAC currently, but have worn NW15 in the recent past) since the Porcelain color seemed too light and pink for me. That was a good choice. The color match for me in Ivory was pretty good, but I could have gone just a tiny, tiny bit darker and it would have looked more natural.
The coverage of this foundation is medium with 2 squirts, light but enough for my needs with 1 squirt. It has a thicker consistency than a lot of the MAC foundations I've tried and a small squirt doesn't look like much until it's spread out over the skin. It's easy to think you need more than you really do with this stuff!
I just wasn't impressed with the way this looked on me. I applied it both with my fingers and with a MAC foundation brush and both gave an OK result. The foundation really accentuated any dry spots I had on my skin and tended to look cakey on my forehead in spite of my using a light hand to apply it there. It also started showing wear very quickly. Within 15 minutes of my doing nothing but sitting in my living room (not working up a sweat or anything like that), it was starting to wear off unevenly and looked very unflattering.

Recent developments in processor capabilities, software tools, programming languages and programming paradigms have brought about new approaches to high performance computing. A steadfast component of this dynamic evolution has been the scientific community's reliance on established scientific packages. As a consequence, programmers of high-performance applications are reluctant to embrace evolving languages such as Java. This paper describes the Java-to-C Interface (JCI) tool which provides application programmers wishing to use Java with immediate accessibility to existing scientific packages. The JCI tool also facilitates rapid development and reuse of existing code. These benefits are provided at minimal cost to the programmer. While beneficial to the programmer, the additional advantages of mixed-language programming in terms of application performance and portability are addressed in detail within the context of this paper. In addition, we discuss how the JCI tool is complementing other ongoing projects such as IBM's High-Performance Compiler for Java (HPCJ) and IceT's metacomputing environment.

Command line parametersIn DOS, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows, a batch file is a text file containing a series of commands intended to be executed by the command interpreter. Similar to job control language and other systems on mainframe and minicomputer systems, batch files were added to ease the work required for certain regular tasks by allowing the user to set up a batch script to automate many commands. When a batch file is run, the shell program (usually COMMAND.COM or cmd.exe) reads the file and executes its commands, normally line-by-line. Batch files are useful for running a sequence of executables automatically and are often used to automate repetitive or tedious processes.
DOS batch files have the filename extension .bat. You can use following commands and parameters to operate DAEMON Tools Lite from command line (console) or to create a batch file (see example). The general format of commands:DTLite.exe -[Command [options]] The contents of the square brackets is an optional part of the command, you may use it but don't have to. The square brackets are not part of the command. Before option keywords preceded by a hyphen and multiple parameters are separated by commas.
CommandsAdds single virtual device, returns number of virtual devices or -1 if error. Syntax: -add <type> <type>: "dt" or "scsi" Example: DTLite.exe -add scsi Adds or removes virtual devices (desired number of devices is passed as <n>), returns 0 in case of successful operation result or -1 in case of error. Syntax: -set_count <type>,<n> <type>: "dt" or "scsi" <n>: device number. "0" — "4" allowed, with total maximum of 4 devices allowed (dt plus scsi) Example: DTLite.exe -set_count scsi, 1 Mounts an image file to a virtual drive: Syntax: -mount <type>,<n>,<path> <type>: "dt" or "scsi" <n>: device number. Device numeration starts from zero, so valid numbers are: "0" — "3" (depending on number of installed devices) <path>: path to image file Example: DTLite.exe -mount scsi, 0,"C:\My Images\name_of_image.ape" Unmounts an image from a virtual drive. Syntax: -unmount <type>,<n> <type>: "dt" or "scsi" <n>: device number Example: DTLite.exe -unmount scsi, 0 Unmounts all currently mounted images, returns 0 in case operation's result is OK or -1 in case it is FAILED. Parameterless. Example: DTLite.exe -unmount_all Decrements number of devices, returns number of virtual devices or -1 if error. Syntax: -remove <type>,<n> <type>: "dt" or "scsi" <n>: device number Example: DTLite.exe -remove scsi, 0 Gets a letter assigned to a virtual device. Returns a letter number (0-A,1-B,2-C etc.) in case of success or -1 if any error occurred. Syntax: -get_letter <type>,<n> <type>: "dt" or "scsi" <n>: device number Example: DTLite.exe -get_letter scsi, 1 Gets number of virtual devices, returns devices quantity or -1 in case of error. Syntax: -get_count [type] [type]: "dt" or "scsi", if omitted would return total quantity of virtual drives (dt plus scsi devices) Example: DTLite.exe -get_count scsi Displays brief help on command line parameters. Syntax: -help Example: DTLite.exe -help To create windows batch file:
Batch program description:If you have maximum number of virtual drives installed or program can't add new DT drive by any other reason, you will see the appropriate warning message. Otherwise new DT virtual drive will be added to your system and the program will try to mount an image to it. It's not necessary to point the type of device. By default the type of device is DT. If there is no image file to mount because of invalid path or name of image, you will see warning message and program will finish. In case of successfully mounted game image (to the virtual drive, which drive letter is "D") the program will return the number of the letter: '3' (by alphabetical order, numeration begins from 0). For returned value of 6, the letter is 'G', etc. because numbering starts from zero. Same as drive numeration — number of a new drive (for a newly installed DAEMON Tools Lite) would be '1', because DAEMON Tools Lite adds a virtual drive (that is set to 0) automatically on installation.

Financial Reform Hits Roadblock
By Dirk van Dijk, CFA of Zacks.com
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It is now the end of April, 2010. That is more than two years after the collapse of Bear Stearns (which was eventually taken over by JPMorgan Chase (JPM) with substantial assistance from the Fed) and more than a year and a half since the fall of the House of Lehman Brothers nearly sank the entire world economy. However, apparently, things are being "rushed" in forming a legislative response to make sure that we don't have to go through this all over again.
Wall Street is spending more than $1 million a day to lobby Congress to make sure that whatever passes has no real teeth. Frankly, they like a system where in the good times, they win and win very big, and when it all blows up, the taxpayer picks up the tab. They know that they are about as popular right now as a piranha in a swimming pool. So their best bet is to delay, delay and then try to delay some more. They are betting on the short attention span and even shorter memories of the public.
Financial reform -- real reform -- took a significant hit last night when 41 Senators decided that the subject was not even worthy of bringing to the floor of the Senate for debate. Of particular significance is that Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) voted to prevent debate, joining all members of the GOP. Majority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) switched his vote to nay at the last minute in a procedural mover that will make it more easy for him to call for another vote later this week.
Flaws in the Proposed Bill The Dodd bill is far from perfect. However, its flaws are not that it is too stringent on Wall Street but that it is not stringent enough. That is not the direction that the opposition is pushing. One of the key flaws is that it does very little to constrain the six of the biggest banks in the country. Collectively, the assets of the six major banks in the country amount to more than 60% of GDP, and banking assets are much more concentrated than before the crisis started. That is because during the worst of the crisis, the regulators had to turn to some of the stronger institutions to help save some of the ones that were in most trouble.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Dependent Insurance
All J-1 visa holders in the U.S. must purchase sickness and accident insurance for themselves and their dependents for the duration of their stay which meets U.S. federal requirements. See below for the requirements:
J-1 and J-2 Health Insurance Requirements
(a) Medical benefits of at least $50,000 (US$) per accident or illness;
(b) Repatriation of remains in the amount of $7,500 (US$);
(c) Expenses for medical evacuation of the visitor to his/her home country in the amount of $10,000 (US$);
(d) A deductible not to exceed $500 per accident or illness.
All J-1 and J-2 visa holders will need to confirm that they have from home, or will purchase, health insurance coverage that meets these requirements to maintain their visa status. Upon arrival, ISSO will photocopy your health insurance provider information and confirm your coverage meets the minimum requirements.
Medical services in the United States are expensive. A trip to the emergency room or hospitalization can result in large bills for those without adequate health insurance coverage. If your dependent family members do not have sufficient medical insurance coverage from their home country that extends to the United States, they will need to purchase appropriate insurance to cover them while they are living in Massachusetts.
Short-term insurance plans can be purchased in a variety of plan lengths specifically for visiting the United States.

A friend of mine (Monty2) brought to my attention a great idea for a password login system allowing you to play your character despite your BYONDkey. It was bugged and unreliable, and she asked me to correct this system and reprogram it myself.
Throughout extensive testing, I have found my system reliable and seemingly bug-free.
I don't intend to take credit for the idea, I just wanted to challenge myself to fix a good idea someone else started and didn't follow through with until it was usable.
Comments? Gripes? Let's hear 'em!

More About:
Water availability will be a factor in determining how many alfalfa acres California growers plant for the 2009 growing season, said Seth Hoyt, former USDA marketing analyst.
Hoyt spoke at the early December California Alfalfa Symposium in San Diego. He edits The Hoyt Report, a hay marketing newsletter.
"Some growers are not planting all their alfalfa hay; they're waiting until spring to plant the balance to see if they have enough irrigation water."
The number of acres planted to wheat will also impact alfalfa acreage, he added. "We had a tremendous amount of wheat in 2008 (76% more wheat acres planted than in 2007). I think we're going to see another strong year of wheat next year. In the Central Valley, we'll see more beardless wheat, where the growers have three options … green crop, hay or, if the grain market improves, go into wheat for grain."
The Imperial Valley won't have as many wheat acres as in 2008, but it will be the second largest seen in a long time, he said. "Some growers were able to make contracts earlier in the season for $17-20/bu on durum. The latest offer I heard was $15/bu in the Imperial Valley just recently.
"One grower told me, when he goes into the bank, that the banker knows the water situation," Hoyt pointed out. "He said, 'Wheat is less risk, takes less water and comes off early, so you're more favorable with the banker, because the banker knows what the water situation is."
The processed tomato market may also take some alfalfa acres in the Central Valley. Although cotton acres have dropped to the lowest level since 1930, Hoyt doesn't see alfalfa taking much of that acreage. "We'll have a little bit of that happen, but the big crop I'm hearing that will displace cotton? It's wheat."
"What to expect in 2009? Alfalfa hay acres in California will be down, probably to 920,000 acres. We had 950,000 acres this year. If we have normal rain and snowpack, which we haven't seen yet, there's a chance that acres could even be slightly higher. If we don't get the rain and snowpack, I think that the drop in the alfalfa acres in the central and southern San Joaquin Valley will offset a 10% increase in the Imperial Valley."

Reprinted with permission from Jewish Family & Life! We've also got more varieties, like these matzah balls with fresh herbs and spices, healthy matzah balls with no fat or cholesterol, potato matzah balls, ones that are especially light and fluffy, and yet another approach that's sure to please your taste buds.<<< Less |
DirectionsBeat the egg whites until stiff and set aside. Beat the egg yolks, salt, parsley, onion, oil, pepper, and soup mix until creamy. Fold the egg whites into the egg mixture. Gradually fold in the matzah meal. Cover and chill for 1-1/2 hours. Matzah Ball Hints* Use well oiled or wet hands to form the balls. This (usually) ensures a matzah ball with a definite shape that doesn't fall apart. * Unless otherwise stated, cover the matzah balls as they simmer. DON'T PEEK! Somehow, peeking causes the matzah balls to fall. * Add some of your favorite herbs or spices to any of these recipes. Some common additions are cayenne pepper, parsley, chopped chives, grated onion, grated garlic, and ground ginger. These all add a delicious flavor to your matzah balls. Did you like this article?

Generally, during World War II, ration books were issued once a year, though the beginning of the issue year could vary; the UK dated theirs as 1942-1943 and so forth.
Each member of a family was issued their own book(s); one applied for the books based on their circumstances, as the ration amounts could vary. Pregnant and nursing women and young children, for example, were rationed larger quantities of milk than the general population. If the circumstances changed, one was responsible for reporting the changes or face legal penalties.

Inpsired by Kate Moss "in the Johnny Depp age", Felder Felder's show was a more feminine route for the twins to take for a/w12. With references to Ryan McGinley's photographs of nudes in geological cave, there were sandy colours, abstract prints in a mineral colour palette with a touch of metallics in a copper pleated skirt. Definitely more autumnal than wintry, the models started out wearing sweet chiffon dresses, teamed beaded vests with little knickers before the chunky knits hit the runway. It was the outerwear that was really special; oversized shearlings and leather were warm and boyfriend style – perfect for cold days and winter nights.
