Hospitals in areas with large minority populations are more likely to be overcrowded and to divert ambulances, delaying timely emergency care, according to a multi-institutional study focused on California.
The researchers examined ambulance diversion in more than 200 hospitals around the state to assess whether overcrowding in emergency rooms disproportionately affects racial and ethnic minorities. They found that minorities are more at risk of being impacted by ER crowding and by diversion than non-minorities.
The study will be published in the August issue of Health Affairs.
"Our findings show a fundamental mismatch in supply and demand of emergency services,'' said lead author Renee Y. Hsia, MD, assistant professor of emergency medicine at UCSF. She is also an attending physician in the emergency department at San Francisco General Hospital & Trauma Center.
"If you pass by a closer hospital that is on diversion for a hospital 15 minutes down the road, you are increasing the amount of time the patient is in a compromised situation," Hsia said. "It puts these patients at higher risk for bad health outcomes from conditions like heart attacks or stroke, where minutes could mean the difference between life and death.''
Ambulance diversion is triggered when a hospital's emergency department is too busy to accept new patients - ambulances are rerouted to the next available ER, sometimes miles away. It is especially common in urban areas, particularly in recent years as demand for emergency care has risen.
This is the first study using hospital-level data to show how diversion affects minorities, the authors said.
The scientists looked at emergency departments at all of California's acute, nonfederal hospitals operating in 2007. Pediatric hospitals were excluded because they typically do not treat adults, as well as hospitals in counties that forbid the practice of ambulance diversion. Altogether, the study involved 202 hospitals in 20 counties where diversion is permitted - the majority of them are not-for-profit facilities.
In all, 92 percent of the hospitals were on diversion for a median of 374 hours over the course of the year. Those serving high numbers of minorities were on ambulance diversion for 306 hours compared to 75 hours at hospitals with fewer minority patients.
"Because ambulances typically transport patients needing true emergency care, diversion reroutes the neediest patients away from their nearest hospital, representing a failure of the systems to provide the intended care,'' the authors wrote.
Some limitations to the study were noted: Diversion is an imperfect measure of overcrowding, and even when an emergency department is on diversion status, certain patients - particularly trauma patients - still can be accepted. Additionally, the study looked solely at California hospitals.
"Emergency departments and trauma centers are closing more frequently in areas with vulnerable populations, including racial and ethnic minorities,'' Hsia said. "This is a systems-level health disparities issue that requires changing the 'upstream' determinants of access to emergency care. It's not just a problem at the level of the emergency department itself, but of the hospital and entire system."
The authors say their research points to the need for systemic reform, including better management of hospital flow and statewide criteria regulating diversion policies.
Co-authors are Steven M. Asch, MD, MPH, Robert E. Weiss, PhD, David Zingmond, MD, PhD, Li-Jung Liang, PhD, Weijuan Han, MS, and Heather McCreath, PhD of UCLA; and senior author Benjamin C. Sun, MD, of Oregon Health and Science University.
The study was funded by the Emergency Medicine Foundation, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, UC Los Angeles, Older Americans Independence Center, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Physician Faculty Scholars program.

Gotta Get this Off My Chest...
I detest making the sandwich, always have and always will. (Especially on a large quilt.) I pleaded with DH to look at the situation and come up with some ingenious method or gadget to make it easy and he walked away. We would be so filthy rich if he would. And don't say "why don't you come up with it yourself" - I'm too ignorant.
There, I feel a little better.
Hating to sandwich a quilt is what drove me to buy a frame - I don't have a longarm on it -- only a regular straight stitch machine with a 9" throat -- small by today's standards for a sewing machine. Every time I quilt in 5" of space and grumble, I remind myself how much I hate to sandwich & pin.
I used to take mine to the fellowship hall at church and put tables together. It was so much nicer than rolling around on the floor. If there is a quilt guild near you see if they have a frame you can use to hold the back while you pin the sandwich.
I can't get down on the floor to do mine so I take it to work and either use the Board Room table or put some tables together in the training room. I can usually find someone interested enough to help. I can get a good sized quilt laid out and pinned over a lunch hour.
Boy I'm with you on that one!!!
For a baby size I can use my ironing board. Other sizes I lay out on top of the hot tub.
I have tried the sprays, basting glue, boards, and gun things and nothing makes it easier for me.
I would love to have a frame, and DH said go for it, but my sewing room is small so I keep putting it off.
I agree!!! I have several tops done, but that sandwiching is for the birds! I can also do a baby size or sofa quilt on my sewing table with lots of frog clips to hold it, but you have to move it every 15 inches or so. I have room for a frame, but would want a machine to go with it, so that is out!
Our church got rid of our old tables that would have worked with frog clips to hold and gone to the white plastic tables, so that doesn't work well either!
You have the support of the rest of us!!!
Forget about the floor. I have one of those conference tables (or maybe banquet tables??) in the sewing room and I use those plastic carpenter's wood clamps to hold it taught to the table while I pin-baste, but I have to do the middle first, then move it to one side, smooth it out, clamp, pin, then go to the other side and do the same.
I hate it.
I had the absolute worst time with sandwiching. I dreaded it, and it was never perfect. I finally decided to try Patsy Thompson's method--and it works so well for me. I wasn't sure if it would work, so I didn't want to go to the trouble and expense of a design wall. So I bought poster boards at the dollar store; put them up on the wall with finishing nails (the least damaging to the wall); taped the seams between the boards...and Voila!, a design wall.
The plan was for this to be a temporary solution...and if it worked, I would get fancy boards and cover them with felt. They are still up there and work great. Because I never put felt on the boards, I have to pin the quilt up there, but that's no problem. With my "design wall" and spray basting, I no longer dread sandwiching--and I no longer get puckers in the quilt backing. I still use pins to hold the sandwich together (I don't trust spray basting that much).
Here is a link that might be useful: Sandwiching a Quilt
I would love to try the spray basting method BUT isn't it harmful for you to breathe in the spray fumes? Especially in a room like most of our quilting rooms. I too hate to sandwich so I do it on my bed (what a pain) or my dining room table (only for couch quilts).
I wonder if Patsy Thompson has anymore YouTube video's. I haven't seen any new ones in a long time.
I am so glad not to be the only who dreads this part of quilting. My knee won't bend so I can't use the floor.
For GS's quilt, I scrubbed the [asphalt] driveway and had DH's help. Won't do that again, he's willing but is unable to comprehend that 'smoothing the fabric' doesn't mean stretching it diagonally. Used spray baste and loved it, but I would emphatically NOT use it inside. Not only do mfg's directions advise to use only in a well-ventilated area, the sprayed mist *does* migrate to the surrounding area.
For DD's quilt, another scrub-the-drive session and a neighbor's help, but the wind made it impossible -- and for the next month, every day she was free turned out to be a windy day. I finally bought two small folding tables (each opens to 4'x2' end-to-end makes 8'x'2') and pinned. That worked out, but the weight of the sandwich meant holding the bulk of the quilt on chairs; awkward but do-able. The tables fold very neatly and fit under the bed when not in use. Gonna save my pennies and buy 2 more so the opened area will be 8'x4'.
Or I'll just bundle the thing up and send it off to be long-armed. VA quilting is well-established now, and her prices have gone up, but her work is truly very good. OTOH, quilts the size I make would cost $160 to $300, which is enough to make me a bit more willing to pin or spray!
I sandwich my quilts on my living room wood floor, but the older I get the harder it is on my knees to move around on the floor for pinning the layers together. I usually don't have help, so I use 10 lb and 8 lb weights to hold the layers stationary as I pin them and stretch them to make sure the backing fabric does not bubble up on me. We plan to downsize in future years when we move to our next house and probably won't have the floor space then, but there is always the dining room at my church that I can use.
Best to you,
My only experience with spray basting was a disaster and almost made me stop quilting. The queen size quilt I used it on is a puckery mess and always will be. I'm glad to know it's worked for others and perhaps I would consider it on a small wall hanging, based on your experiences, but never again on a bigger quilt.
When I can't take the quilt to work to use the larger tables there, I use painters tape to hold the backing in place and drape the backing over my dining room table. After pinning the center section, I move the backing, batting and top a couple feet at a time until I have it done, taping each section as I go and supporting most of the weight of the finished or waiting sections on chairs. It's not perfect, but it works. I can't afford to have them long armed, except for very special quilts.
All together now.....G....R....O...A...N....oh, the knees....oh the back.......oh the arms........what a pain!
I make do with laying my quilts on a folding cardboard cutting surface that I lay on my bed. Larger quilts (what few there are) are sent to a longarm quilter.
Nice to know I'm not alone...also a reason I've steered clear of doing anything larger than a twin size quilt. Also the reason I have several tops done, but there they hang...waiting for me to finish.
I do mine on the floor, and the results are just ok. I may give the dining room table a try for the next go round.
I did find a video where where the quilter used two- two by fours (sanded and painted so they did not snag) and wrapped or sandwiched the layers using a wrapping technique...,Anyone ever try it?
I'll take a look tonight and see if I can find the link...it was awhile ago I came across it...I'll go searching again.
I used to use the floor for large quilts but that is a thing of the past age dictates that it is either sent out or I do it on the dinning table. I have spray basted small quilts but being small makes them easier to pin so I have done both.
My question is: I have a lg. hand quilting frame and have often wondered it that could be used to baste a lg. quilt. It isn't exactly easy to put the quilt onto it but it might work for one I would other wise send out.
What are your thoughts on the subject?
I think you're talking about Sharon Schamber's method at the link below.
I used it on a king-sized quilt a few months ago and it worked great. I highly recommend this method. Really so much better than crawling around on the floor. And has some advantages, in my opinion, to working in sections on a table without using the boards. I would do it again next time I have a large quilt.
Here is a link that might be useful: Sharon Schamber hand basting a quilt
I am so with you. I am ashamed to say I have tote boxes full of quilt tops I have made in the past few years! To me the fun part is making the quilt top. I have never sent my tops out to be quilted, always quilted my own. I don't want to step on any toes here but I was telling DH how many quilters sent their tops out to be quilted. He said to me, if they don't quilt their tops they aren't quilters, they are sewers...hmmmm What do you all think?
I personally need to do the entire thing myself from start to finish. But I realize there are those who have no problem only doing part of it, whether it be no interest in it, a physical problem, or just can't master that particular step well enough. I guess if one wants to get technical, a quilter quilts, a piecer does patchwork. But then there are very few people who can build a house or a car from start to finish, there are plumbers, carpenters, electricians, mechanics, upholstery and body finishers, etc. So it's OK to specialize if that's what floats your boat.

Husband is very excited to test his new toy
The basket is awesome since it is adjustable. The holes don't appear to be so large that the food would fall through it. My husband is dying to try it out, and we finally have decent weather so he can.I recommend this product.

Jared Burton RP NYY 2 days ago
Burton (back) has re-signed a minor league contract with the Yankees on Sunday, The Westchester Journal News reports.
Burton had been unconditionally released Thursday but the club has apparently decided to bring him back. The 33-year-old, who will likely begin the year with Triple-A Sranton/Wilkes-Barre, is still recovering from a strained lat and will resume playing catch later Sunday.
Jared Burton RP NYY 5 days ago
Burto (back) was unconditionally released by the Yankees on Thursday, Joel Sherman of MLB Network reports.
The veteran, who was battling a strained lat, did not show enough during spring training to earn a spot on the roster, let alone in the organization. The 33-year-old will look to catch on with another team after making 68 appearances for the Twins in 2014.
Jared Burton RP NYY 6 days ago
Burton (back) will play catch within the next few days, the Kansas City Star reports.
Burton has been shut down since last Thursday with a strained lat, but appears to be on track to return to spring league action at some point next week. The 33-year-old signed a minor league deal with the club in February, and will likely need to be healthy and have strong showings toward the end of the spring in order to crack the big league roster by Opening Day.
Jared Burton RP NYY 2 weeks ago
Burton is dealing with a strained lat and will undergo an MRI on Thursday.
Burton agreed to a minor league deal in February with an invite to spring training, and has been competing for a spot in the Opening Day bullpen. The 33-year-old reported that he's dealt with a similar injury previously and that he didn't believe this was as serious, but the results of the MRI should give a clearer indication of how long he'll be sidelined for.
Jared Burton RP NYY 1 month ago
Burton agreed to a minor league deal, which includes a spring training invite, with the Yankees on Monday.Burton spent the previous three seasons in Minnesota, where he made 68 bullpen appearances in 2014, posting a 4.36 ERA and 3-5 record. He'll look to make an impact in spring training with hopes of cracking the Opening Day roster, though he isn't likely to be much of a fantasy commodity in 2015.
Jared Burton RP NYY 5 months ago
The Twins have declined Burton's option for the 2015 season, Tyler Mason of Fox Sports North reports.
With this development, Burton will become a free agent. He finished the season with a career worst 4.36 ERA in 68 appearances.
Jared Burton RP NYY 6 months ago
Burton will remain in the closer's role during the series against the Diamondbacks, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
This what was expected when Glen Perkins was shut down for the season with a left forearm strain. Manager Ron Gardenhire said he will find other spots to use Michael Tonkin and Lester Oliveros. However, there was no definitive mention of whether Burton would hold the closer's role in the final series of the season, although that may have been implied.
Jared Burton RP NYY 6 months ago
Burton picked up a win, retiring the only two hitters he faced in the 10th innings before the Twins pushed across the winning run in the bottom of the frame.
With closer Glen Perkins possibly out for the rest of the year, Burton is expected to get the ball in save situations over the last 10 days of the season. If you are desperately seeking saves, he might be a worthwhile addition.
Jared Burton RP NYY 6 months ago
Burton will get the first shot at closing games while Glen Perkins is sidelined with an arm injury, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
The Twins haven't ruled out Perkings from pitching again, but his return would seem unlikley at this point. It's also possible the Twins could give save chances to Michael Tonkin and Lester Oliveros.
Jared Burton RP NYY 7 months ago
Burton will act as the Twins' closer Saturday with Glen Perkins (neck) unavailable, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Burton threw 24 pitches in Friday's game, but it appears he will still be summoned from the bullpen if the Twins find themselves in a save situation Saturday night. Burton, who picked up a save earlier this season, has posted a 3.26 ERA and 15:8 K:BB ratio in 19.1 innings out of the Twins' bullpen since the All-Star break.

Parna, cannuck, the rest of yas,
Parna, i have more reason to identify with the infirm reference made then yourself. I truly am the infirm as i am made functional with a diet of pharmaceuticals. I am fairly certain that the punch was meant for me as much as anyone. Cannuck, that was a cleanly thrown left hook, kudos.
In the process of construction it is important to disassemble that which doesn't add to the long term functionality of the edifice. This function is important to weed out immperfection and misconcreptions. Disassembly is something I have always excelled in. As you can see Cannuck, I look upon such behavior as neccessary. It is a thankless occupation, but...I love it. But you and i seem to have an aptitude for it, just remember to leave as many pieces intact as possible. This allow those best equip to reassemble to perform their functions as easily as possible.
Also cannuck, drinking while musing is never a good idea as it can cause destrction well pass the scope called for. I have always tried to used dismantling as a surgical tool.
Parna, my friend. It takes a special kind of courage to display a carthasis for the benefit of all. Your intellect has alawys been in conflict with your spiritual abilities. Without a doubt your intellect is the superior of the two gifts, that is not to imply that your spiritual gifts are lacking, just the opposite. This conflict leaves you grinding gears aa you attempt to shift between the two.
If you lead with your intellect and rely on the spiritual only in matters dealing specifically with spiritually, few will be your equal.
So the rest of yas keep on building, continue to do what you do best and assist others in matters not specifically given to your nature.
Aruna, thanks for correcting me, your velvet glove hides the hammer nicely. hahah
soft as a kiss hard as a nail
aka 20093181
Thank you for these words, aka. I agree with them very much, and have been struggling in separating the two. In the beginning, my goal was to merge the two, which, at least for myself, I have been successful at.
In response to the part I put in red; You are saying I need to separate the two, correct?
I need to (somewhat) leave my intellect out of spiritual matters...no, I think I have that backwards.
Could you explain that in better detail for me?
Thanks, this resonates strongly with what I am going through at this time. I have recently shifted gears again, and have been interested in the spiritual side of things, rather than the science of things.
Maybe the two are like the interstellar cloud and the local interstellar cloud? Just popped into my mind while reading this

My PS4 was one of the ones that didnt work when I got it. The Blue light just blinked on start up. Call Playstation and they are having me send it back to them and I'm getting a new PS4, well thats what the CSR said to me on chat.
FYI: I called all over the place looking for another one and since I cant find one Ive decided the Playstation route is the best for me.

I'm also a guy that has had 3 Play stations 3's throughout my house since near day 1. I also rarely play games, I mostly use them for Bluray and media streaming. My kids don't even heavily play them for games (PC gammers). I don't need anything advanced. I would use Tversity to stream fom my server and on the PS3 just play my music/home videos from the simple lists provided by TVersity.
I've never owned a Xbox and never would until now (95% because of the bluray drive). While I have a PS4 boxed up to give the kids for Xmas. I have used my PS3 as the center of my dedicated home theater for 7+ years and now it seems that Sony is shafting me.
With the new Xbox with the ability to stream and run Blurays disks, it sounds like Xbox will take over for me unless Sony patch's this content. I'll put the Xbox in the hometheater, PS4 on a TV for basic use and keep my PS3's at the other locations.

Just dropped in on this thread and I am so glad I didn't get my PS4.
I have 2 PS3 & love them, never thought I would consider a Mickysoft product.
If all that I read is true, Sony you lost me. Does everything through PS3 media server.
Even my favorite golf game (hot shots golf( is being ruined by Sony .
Trying to make them work together has ruined the game with shrunken down compromised code.
I am or Was a Sony person for 40 yrs, if they are done with me, I also am done with them.
Sony is forceing me to experience an XBOX, and why not. Keep my PS3 & get the Xbox instead of the
consumer crippled PS4. (At least for me).
Funny, maybe this will teach them to give consomers all that they want.
I AM IN SHOCK, swear while typeing this upseting post, I will be getting an ZBox,
as it makes no sence to support a company who doesn't care or listen.
This should be reposted throughout the WWW so you will see how many feel like me, Betrayed.

Knowing that almost all new TV's carry all the functionality for streaming and much more, PS3 has really nailed it by removing that function from the console. Why put the added cost into a machine that will just be duplicating technology 99% of people will already have. Nobody needs a PS3 for streaming anymore, unless you're someone using an old TV or...a cheap one.
This is Sony looking into the future and shaping it. They don't care about people whining because the PS4 doesn't act as a media server because they know that the majority of these people will have this technology in their TV's or computers or other standalone devices.
For all the people crying about this, get over it. Nobody cares if you get an Xbox or just keep using your PS3's.

Good point. With the invention of smart tvs and all the streaming devices out there(Roku, Apple TV, chromecast, etc.) and the fact that a lot of people that have or are going to buy a PS4 already have a PS3, there would be no need to add all the media center functionality. The only argument on the other side is simplicity. One device that can do all of that with little complexity. I don't always agree with that line of thinking, but I can understand it. $500 is a lot to pay for all of that. I know I'm going to buy a PS4 for one thing, gaming. I'm the kind of customer that Sony is counting on.

|Source: [1]
Shah Nyalchand pronunciation (help·info) (14 September 1915, Dhrangadhra, Gujarat – 1 January 1997, Junagadh, Gujarat) was an Indian Test cricketer.
Nyalchand was a left arm medium pace bowler who was particularly effective on matting wickets. His only Test match was against Pakistan at Lucknow in 1952/53, which was one of only two occasions that a matting wicket was used for a Test in India. He returned figures of 3 for 97. Frank Worrell once described Nyalchand as the 'king of matting wickets'.
Nyalchand played 24 seasons of Ranji Trophy, half of which were for Saurashtra. He captained Saurashtra for three seasons. His most successful season was 1961/62 when he took 27 wickets, including a split hat-trick against Maharashtra. During this purple patch, he took ten wickets in three consecutive matches across two seasons. Apart from the Test, he appeared for a few times for zonal sides against visiting teams. He toured East Africa with the Sundar Cricket Club of Bombay in 1957.
Nyalchand was schooled in Sir Ajitsinhji High School in Dhrangdhara. He worked as a draughtsman with the Public Works Department of Gujarat government at Rajkot. He did cricket coaching for a time and was the recipient of an aid from the benefit fund of BCCI. His death was from a massive heart attack.

The Parallax II: Future Sequence - Between the Buried and Me

- Record Label: Metal Blade
- Release Date: Oct 9, 2012
- Band members: Paul Waggoner, Tommy Rogers, Dan Briggs, Blake Richardson
- Summary: Produced with Jamie King, the sixth studio album for the metal band is a sequel to its 2011 EP release The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues.
- Record Label: Metal Blade
- Genre(s): Pop/Rock

Score distribution:
Positive: 5 out of 7

Oct 19, 2012Both daring and down right difficult to turn away, consider this among the band's finest work of their career thus far.
Oct 19, 2012Rogers' guttural growls sound more menacing than ever, and what the album lacks in originality it makes up for with feverishly inventive riffs and melodies, making The Parallax II: Future Sequence the band's most inspired release since Alaska.
Oct 19, 2012Parallax II may be the strongest 72 consecutive minutes they have put together so far. [Nov 2012, p.86]
Oct 29, 2012At 72 minutes, it's quite the voyage--but please, don't remain in your seat at all times. [6 Oct 2012, p.53]
Oct 19, 2012With The Parallax II: Future Sequence, Between the Buried and Me have managed to craft metal that's not just for metal heads, but will excite them just the same.
Oct 19, 2012A 72-minute concept album that includes some of its freshest material yet, but also some of its dullest.
Oct 17, 2012This isn't to say Future Sequence is a bad album; at times it's as engrossing as their past material... Pretty awesome. But the feeling that's left by when minute 72 has run up is that of sonic overload.

Everything about this album from first listen just blew me away. Tracks like "Lay Your Ghosts To Rest", "Melting City", and "The Silent Flight Parliament" are 10-15 minute progressive epics. Great vocal work from Tommy Rogers and the guitar work is just amazing. This album can best be described as one word...... EPIC!!!!!!!!!!

Openmoko Releases Schematics
Mobile phone vendor Openmoko announced that they are publishing the schematics for the Neo 1973 and Neo FreeRunner mobile phones.
The company, which has a reputation for openness within the highly closed and proprietary mobile phone industry, already provides an open software stack for building custom applications. Openmoko also recently released CAD files for the phones under a Creative Commons license, letting designers modify the look and feel. The release of the schematics completes the drive to openness by adding the opportunity for engineers to modify the electronics.
According to Openmoko architect Werner Almesberger, "One of the freedoms we value the most is the freedom to explore. To fully understand the details of complex systems, to adapt and enhance them."
CEO Sean Moss-Pultz adds, "Why should industry be afraid of opening up its design? Schematics are simply another form of documentation and vital to future success, service, and satisfaction in the market. We believe our products would be incomplete without them."
The schematics will be available at the openmoko.com and openmoko.org websites under a Creative Commons license.

Lemon and orange peel
Posting here instead of cooking forum but I notice that many receipes ask for a small amount of lemon or orange peel--that is 1/4 teaspoon etc
Because here it is hard and expensive to get good lemons and oranges, how much difference is the "real stuff" against the peel in the bottles and how long can the jars be kept-
Does it taste the same etc' Are certain brands better??
I do have bottles of orange and lemon peel (Penzey's brand) on my shelf. I rarely use them--they're okay, but definitely not as good as the real thing. I wouldn't ever chance using a lower quality (supermarket) brand. Makes SUCH a difference with herbs and spices to get fresh, high quality products--the stuff in the supermarket could have been sitting around on the shelves for years, and is often manufactured with less than high standards (you don't know what else is in it besides the spices).
Look, when you do buy fresh citrus, why not zest the entire thing, measure what you need for your recipe and put the rest in a small container in the freezer? It freezes just fine and will still be better than the dried stuff.

I worked at Verizon Wireless as a contractor (more than a year)Pros
A relatively comfortable work environment with a decent work-life balance and plenty of learning opportunities. Casual Fridays are a bonus. Generally speaking, people stick to their 8 hour/day schedule (unless OT is required). Management is very accomodating with scheduling/vacation time. Employee benefits include 50% off wireless family service plans as well as a pension plan.Cons
Contractors are treated like second class citizens compared to employees. Some managers are stuck in their old ways performing job duties which results in routine micromanaging. Not uncommon to find people working through lunch. Very high turnover for contractors. On-site gym and annual company picnic exclude contractors.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Heineken Cup - Team of the Round
ESPNscrum Staff
December 19, 2011
Harlequins' Mike Brown celebrates his place in Team of the Round © Getty Images
John Afoa Mike Brown Domenico de Luca Nick de Luca Nick Evans Luke Fitzgerald Florian Fritz Allan Jacobsen Yoann Maestri Timoci Matanavou Chris Robshaw Julian Salvi William Servat Devin Toner Thomas Waldrom
Following another action-packed round of Heineken Cup action, ESPNscrum puts together the Team of the Round.
15. Mike Brown (Harlequins) - Two tries in a famous win over Toulouse, great in defence and a constant threat. Must be there or thereabouts for an England comeback.
14. Timoci Matanavou (Toulouse) - Proof - if it was needed - that real pace can be a nightmare to deal with. Has done exceptionally well since being plucked from relative obscurity in ProD 2.
13. Florian Fritz (Toulouse) - The early replacement did everything asked of him and more, like dropping a match into a box of fireworks.
12. Nick De Luca (Edinburgh) - Edinburgh won this game in the first-half and De Luca had the better of Cardiff's much-vaunted midfield. Superb break to set up their only try.
11. Luke Fitzgerald (Leinster) - The forgotten man of Irish rugby scored an eye-catching brace to leave Declan Kidney on notice prior to the Six Nations.
10. Nick Evans (Harlequins) - While Luke McAlister endured a shocker for Toulouse, Evans kept his side in the hunt with superb passing, great organisation, and strong kicking from hand and the tee.
9. Eoin Reddan (Leinster) - Preferred to Isaac Boss, he did what he does best and kept the tempo lightning fast - far too fast for Bath.
1. Allan Jacobsen (Edinburgh) - So, so important to Edinburgh. Always holds his end up in the scrum and is a tireless presence, hassling at the breakdown and tackling for as long as his wee legs will keep him upright.
2. William Servat (Toulouse) - He ended up on the losing side, but Servat was excellent. He picks support angles that some centres wouldn't be able to draw on a blackboard.
3. John Afoa (Ulster) - An All Black with a reputation for pace and power, he proved that he's at home with the ground and pound as he helped Ulster dominate Aironi up front.
4. Yoann Maestri (Toulouse) - The giant youngster rounded off a brilliant try - set up by the venerable Jean Bouilhou - and looked the part around the park.
5. Devin Toner (Leinster) - Brought in to dominate the sky, Toner also showed an array of skills that helped Leinster attack from all over the field. One superb dummy set up a try for Fitzgerald.
6. Chris Robshaw (Harlequins) - The Quins skipper has been in fine form all season and just keeps passing leadership tests left, right and centre. His exclusion from England squads has to this point been baffling, but shouldn't continue for much longer.
7. Julian Salvi (Leicester) - The Australian has slotted into the Tigers pack seamlessly and is one of Europe's top practitioners at the breakdown. Throw in a try for good measure.
8. Thomas Waldrom (Leicester) - Solid and dependable, Waldrom gave Leicester the confidence and solidity from the base that they lacked at times in France last weekend.

HEMP High-Altitude Electro Magnetic Pulse What is it – Where does it come from • What I am referring to is a nuclear explosion in the ionosphere. • Missile or exploding satellite 200-300 miles up. • The free electrons in the ionosphere start cascading down knocking loose more electrons as they collide with air molecules. • By the time they reach ground level you have 50,000 – 150,000 volt low amperage power surge that will travel along exposed wiring. Solar Flare • http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/mystery_monday_031027.html – In early September in 1859, telegraph wires suddenly shorted out in the United States and Europe, igniting widespread fires. – "The plasma blob that was ejected from the Sun hit the Earth," he said. That's a relatively routine event. What preceded the strike was more unusual. "The blob came at exceptionally high speeds. It took only 17 hours and 40 minutes to go from the Sun to Earth." Solar storms typically take two to four days to traverse the 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). – the Northern Lights, solar-induced phenomena more closely associated with regions near Earth's North Pole, were documented as far south as Rome, Havana and Hawaii, with similar effects at the South Pole. – An electrical storm that causes fires from telegraph wires across two continents would do vastly more damage in our electronic society of today. Asteroid or Comets • A meteor just missed us by 45,000 miles the last week of Feb 2009. That is only twice as far as our communications satellites. – It was estimated at 20 yards by 30 yards. – Roughly the same size leveling nearly 800 square miles of forest in the infamous ―Tunguska Event.‖ – In 1908. something — presumably a meteoroid, most experts say — streaked across the sky and exploded at an estimated height of 28,000 feet with a force equivalent to 185 Hiroshima bombs, leveling some 800 square miles of forest. Simulations by the Sandia National Laboratories showed that object could have been just 90 feet across. – Large enough to wipe out transistors worldwide. • February 24th, 2009 a previously unknown comet passed within 38 million miles at its closest point. =160 times further than the Moon. Why do we care? • Every transistor not protected from surge would blow up. • Electrical power stations would not function. • Your car would stall never to restart until you replaced the electronic ignition and fuel injection. • Your unprotected electronics would be toast. – Radios – TVs – Portable phones and cell phones – Modern automobiles. • The industry to supply new transistors would probably also be toast. • It could take days, weeks, or even months to restore power. • If you have a working radio and power after the event it could be weeks before you can transmit to anyone. How did we find out about HEMP • In the early 1960's we successfully shot down some of our own Minuteman Missiles with an Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) with a nuclear warhead. • It intercepted the Minutemen in the ionosphere destroying the missiles while still in space. There was no radioactive fallout as the ABM was a ―clean‖ warhead and the warheads in the Minutemen were reduced to small chunks of plutonium that fell into the ocean. – You can handle plutonium if you don't inhale any powder or have open cuts that would allow it into the bloodstream. – Your clothing would stop the alpha particles from the plutonium. – There are no gamma rays, etc from the chunks. • In 1859 telegraph was only 3 years old and a solar flare caused enough current to cause fires and shorts throughout the system. Unintended Results • 800 miles away in Hawaii – Cars stalled, but restarted after 10-30 minutes. – Street lights and traffic lights came on during the daytime with some burning out. – Burglar alarms were set off everywhere. – The few transistor devices around back then were toast. – There was no harm to any humans except for a few traffic accidents when the traffic lights all came on at once. – All radio and TV channels were jammed for 30 minutes to an hour. Some had cooked equipment. • 3-4 ABMs over the USA would cause nationwide toast. • We signed the SALT I ABM treaty to ban ABMs because the HEMP could do as much damage than letting the missiles hit. The US would recover if we lost a few cities. What would happen if we lost all communications and our vehicles for a year or two? • My brother's metal building construction company put their computers in a faraday cage to guard against HEMP. • Daily they backed up their data and took the tapes to an underground lead-lined vault several stories below downtown Oklahoma City. • Military equipment was designed to prevent HEMP damage. • The F-16 fly (and other aircraft) by wire was tested by putting it on a tall wooden ramp and hit by artificial lightening. I only know of one ramp. • Several EMP room size testing facilities still exist to test military radios. • Aircraft like the E-3 AWACS and the flying command post are electronically sealed to protect all the electronic gear inside and have Xener diodes to prevent EMP from coming through cables to antennas, etc. – We had to refurbish some of these for AWACS testing because they had fallen into disuse when the Berlin wall fell. What has changed in peacetime? • The faraday cage at the metal building company now has holes in the walls for local area network wires. The wires are not protected. The metal rubber sealed door was replaced with a standard door. • Much of our military equipment is no longer protected. • I had to fight (with Boeing help) to keep the E-3 AWACS protected. Officially we no longer worry about HEMP, but with the radar dish and rest of the antenna farm on the AWACS, we kept the aircraft protected for the safety of the crew from its own emissions. • Every thing we own is now full of transistors, • We laughed at the Mig-25 when we discovered it had miniature tube type electronics. – Tubes are 1 billion times more resistant than to EMP than transistors. How do you protect your equipment? • Wrap emergency gear in airtight aluminum foil or keep it in an airtight metal box until after the HEMP event but insulated from the box itself. • Does your emergency generator have transistor ignition? • Build your radio shack as a faraday cage by using grounded chicken wire in the walls and roof, sealing the metal door with rubber gaskets. • Air exchangers would have grounded metal filters. • Install Xener diodes on wires. • Use major surge protectors. We're not talking a 100 volt power surge…a 100,000 volt surge. • Keep an old hard wired telephone powered from the phone line. Hopefully the phone company is still EMP protected (last time I visited one was 15 years ago). • A simple tube type CW rig should still work. Iran or another small country • Ahmadinejad publically stated he wanted to attack the US with HEMP. • Iran may develop a few warheads. • Iran has Scud missiles with a 600 mile range. • Iran has modified a freighter to hide, then launch a Scud missile. • He could therefore launch these from outside our territorial waters off our coasts and have them explode in the ionosphere. • Many Arab countries have their own satellites orbiting around right now. I don't know if any of them contain warheads. Major War? • I don't know whether to believe Russia. – They are still doing military R&D – They are still producing military equipment. – Have plenty of warheads. – Sell whatever to unfriendly countries. • China is still undergoing a major buildup. – An old fashioned diesel submarine on battery power can be as quiet as a good nuclear sub. – Have plenty of warheads. – Sell whatever to unfriendly countries. Summary • Amateur radio may be critical in the future. • CW will get out when nothing else will. • If there were no radio or TV stations, a very simple CW radio might go far. • We might consider protecting emergency radios from EMP. • I have no idea what the odds of an EMP event are – I have done little on my own. – I used to keep a car that would run afterward. – I have an receive only emergency radio wrapped in foil inside a metal box. – I would like to afford a better stored radio.

Synchronous Scanning Methods for Organic Spectroscopy with Fully Resonant Four-Wave Mixing
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 39, Issue 2, pp. 230-243 (1985)
Acrobat PDF (1299 KB)
New synchronous scanning methods are developed for fully resonant four-wave mixing experiments with three input frequencies. Enhanced sensitivity and selectivity are observed for the vibrational and vibronic resonances that are coupled, consequently simplifying the spectral information obtained. The factors affecting selectivity and spectral simplification are discussed. Spectra obtained with the use of two-laser and three-laser CARS reveal various schemes of multiple resonance. Under resonant excitation at moderate power, saturation and power broadening reduce the effective electronic resonance enhancement. Resonances based on coupling between vibrational and vibronic levels are less susceptible to such power-induced phenomena. It is demonstrated that four-wave mixing with three input lasers provides the capabilities of measuring intermode vibronic coupling terms of the third-order susceptibility and performing fully resonant nonparametric four-wave mixing experiments that have the same characteristics as CSRS but are free from molecular fluorescence.

Coffee Stain on Granite
Does anyone have a "recipe" for the poultice that would get out a coffee stain from granite kitchen counters?
Thanks so much!
Hi Karen, I have had luck with blue dawn and flour. Check out this link and search poultice here on GW. There is thread that gets quite specific about different kinds of stains. I would try the least complicated first. Another thing I have found with my light granite is that sometimes the stains work themselves out over time.
Here is a link that might be useful: Stain removal
Here's a poultice for removing coffee from marble. I don't know if it works for granite.
Here is a link that might be useful: Thread: Marble poultice
Hi orubis,
My kitchen granite is Yellow River or Antique Queen. I'm not sure of the exact name but it is a light granite with earth tones (beige, rust, brown, etc.). You probably should ask one of the stone experts regarding the best stone for maintenance, stains and spills.
Sadly, most stone salesmen I've dealt with could just as easily be selling used cars or time share condos: ask about staining and they give standard answer 1.a> 'Seal it annually, and it shouldn't be a problem.'
Mention that some granites don't really need sealing and they look at you like they are dogs and you're playing the harmonica.
Pity about the Yellow River, though: it's one of my favorites.
Hi oruboris,
Sorry about misspelling your name in the previous post. Unfortunately, I think we have more knowledge thanks to this Forum then most of the granite/marble/stone people (with of course the exception of all those wonderful stone experts on this web site). When I asked the fabricator about lemons or anything aciditic staining, he said he never heard of such problems and all I needed to do was seal. Maybe I'm confusing the properties of marble with granite, but he didn't seem to be aware of any potential problems.
It seems staining is something that can happen regardless of sealing. Although sealing helps quite a bit (I may be wrong on this point and would certainly welcome the correction). But when I cut tomatoes, strawberries or raspberries, I'm very careful to clean up my mess immediately. Now I've learned I have to do that with coffee spills as well.
Although I commented on my experience with a poultice I feel the need to clarify. I used the poultice on my sample piece, unsealed, and once on an oil stain which was very minor. My Shivakashi (mostly white, with grays and browns)is very forgiving because of all the variation. Over 3 years, I have not had a problem with staining.... wine, food coloring, sauces, citrus etc. The food coloring I let sit, stained but also seemed to work itself out over time. Perhaps others with granites with less variation might chime in, but I think there is more worry than is warrented on this point.

Hi, there!!! I came here to know about latest coffee exporters in the USA, can somebody provide me information on this matter. I heard about the fluctuation coming in the coffee exporters due to market strategies by our president. I want to know if there is any other option than following this one.
