As organizations look to increase efficiency, one of the best ways to accomplish this is by undertaking an IT Infrastructure project. To meet your goals you may be looking at a migration, consolidation, virtualization or a move to converged infrastructure.
The majority of data center technology projects fail because of poor IT/business alignment and project-related setbacks—not because of technology. This is why the strategy phase is so important. The strategy phase includes:

Jessica Alba: I Bring My Young Daughters to Movie Sets!
The star of Fantastic Four and Little Fockers says she's choosier about movie roles so she can spend as much time with her kids as possible, according to People.
"I used to work basically 11-and-a-half months out of the year on location, and now I don't," Jessica says. "I'm really much more picky with the roles that I take."
Jessica says she'll even bring her daughters — Honor, who's 4, and Haven, 18 months — with her to movie sets. Lucky girls!
"I bring them with me," she explains. "[Honor is usually] playing in the kids' corner and running amuck bothering everyone, throwing paper airplanes at their desks — but they love it!"
However, she says her daughter Honor doesn't yet grasp what it is that mommy does for a living.
"To her, Mommy going to work is her sitting in a trailer and me [filming], or it's me at my office," Jessica admits. "I think she thinks it's all my job. She doesn't know the difference!"
If you ask us, Jessica really sounds like a "fantastic" mom!

Ordered 2 to go with my black and white diamond solitaire. Great choice I love that the stones go all the way around and the size. I get soo many compliments on how unique they are!
Well I was so disappointed when I ordered this ring in a size 6.5 and it just fell off my finger. I am a perfect size 6.5 so I knew something was wrong. Yet, it was so beautiful when I put it on that I went through all the trouble of exchanging it with overstock. Since each size is a different item #, I assure you this was no easy task. But overstock was awesome. They gave me a free label to ship back the one that was too big, reimbursed me for the original shipping, and honored all the discounts I had on the previous order. Two days later I had this size 6 which fits my 6.5 finger perfectly. I measured my 6.5 original ring and it was a size 7 so it seems this manufacturer is off in size. However, they are not off in the quality. These diamonds really sparkle and look uniform and even. I bought a pair of hoop earrings from overstock that did not have this same level of quality so I know there can be a range of difference with black diamonds. It is a little weird having the diamond feel all the way around my finger, but the look it gives makes me get over it real quick. I highly recommend this ring if you get it in the right size.
I love the look of black diamonds, and this ring is super cute and glimmers in the light. When I first examined the ring, you could see that the prongs are colored a darker gray color, and some of the black diamonds have that painted on them as well. It is as if they painted the prongs after putting on the black diamonds. It is hardly noticeable unless you are examining it real close. The ring snags and little fibers gets stuck on the prongs here and there. I don't think this is the most comfortable ring in the world, because the prongs stick out and if you're wearing it on a finger in between other fingers, it rubs against them. A half eternity ring would probably be more comfortable, but overall this ring looks great.

Dominion will move forward with engineering and regulatory review processes after a judgment confirmed its right to build liquefaction facilities at the group's Cove Point facility.
Dominion will move forward with engineering, marketing and regulatory review processes, the company said on Monday, after a declaratory judgment confirmed its right to build liquefaction facilities at its Cove Point facility on the Chesapeake Bay in Lusby, Md.
Circuit Court Judge James P. Salmon of Maryland ruled Friday that Dominion Cove Point's agreement with environmental agencies allows it to build liquefaction facilities inside the plant's fenced area and export liquefied natural gas (LNG). The environmental group Sierra Club had maintained Dominion needed its permission to build the facilities.
"Dominion has made considerable progress towards a project that will bring jobs and revenues to the national and local economies," said Thomas F. Farrell II, president, CEO and chairman of Dominion. "We have received support from business, labor, government, community and environmental groups for a major construction project that would bring great benefits to many people. We look forward to working with the Sierra Club and other involved environmental groups to continue the outstanding record of environmental cooperation at Dominion Cove Point."
The liquefaction project is expected to cost between $2.5 billion and $3.5 billion.
Dominion has received permission from the Department of Energy (DOE) to act as an agent for liquefied natural gas exports to countries with free trade agreements and is waiting for DOE action on its application for countries without a free trade agreement. Dominion has entered the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's pre-filing process in anticipation of filing an application in 2013. Engineering studies are continuing and are expected to be completed soon. Terminal services agreements are under negotiation with potential customers, including Sumitomo Corp., a major Japanese trading company.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

The 2006 Year One Experience - Calling All Cars
Written by Johnny Hunkins on August 14, 2006 The Year One Experience is a car show, road race, autocross, drag race and speed parts shopping spreee all in one. The question is can you handle it?We go to Year One's super fling every year. During the month or two leading up to it, we're pretending hardship in our publisher's office, begging for airfare back East. The conversation usually goes something like this: "We're dangerously low on car features, plus we can talk to a bunch of our advertisers at the same time." (Publishers love to hear this stuff from editors.) Keep in mind, we fly all over and see a ton of car shows and races all year long, so it takes a pretty cool event to get us jazzed. Next to SEMA, the Year One Experience is the shizzle.
simultaneously at the Road Atlanta road course and Atlanta Dragway (they're just miles apart), and it has everything. Drag racers, road racers, autocrossers and cruisers can all get their jones on in one place. To top it off, no fewer than six TV shows and their attendant celebrities were thick in the joint. Besides PHR, we saw guys from Mustang & Fords, Mopar Muscle, Chevy High Performance, Super Chevy, Car Craft, and scribes from unspeakable non-Primedia rags. Even Hot Rod Editor Rob Kinnan snuck out of his hotel to face the paparazzi. Trust us when we say this event is one Indian casino away from giving Brian France an Excedrin headache.
It's Sensory Overload
One minute, we're talking to a vendor about bolt-on late-model Mustang parts, the next we're shooting the breeze with a reader about project g/28. Then we're off chasing hotties in our golf cart, 'cause we know you want to see them too. When that gets old, we head over to the autocross and watch guys cut up tarmac. We see Lou Santiago from Spike TV's "Musclecar" show laying waste to his golf cart and stop to hang with him for a while (he's just as cool in person). It's all we can do to keep him from putting a plasma cutter to the thing. The car show is packed, and there we run into Chuck Hansen, formerly of "Horsepower TV." Dennis Gage of "My Classic Car" is doing an interview a few cars over when Joe Elmore whizzes by on his cart (which is in better shape than Santiago's), with camera crew in tow. TV stars and producers are everywhere, and editors are scooping each other in cold blood, just like a 1940s "B" movie. Dude, if you can't get your car on TV or in a mag at this place, your ride might actually suck.
And Then There Are The Nut Jobs...
There is a ton of better ways to make money than getting into the speed parts business, but then who wants to write divorce papers or prescribe penicillin for snotty-nosed kids all day long? Guys in the speed biz, however, aren't afraid to live life. Take Mike Jonas of Stainless Steel Brake Corporation. He brought his brand new LS2-powered Pontiac Solstice just so he could pound it on the road course. Another of our favorite crazies is Brett Voelkel of Air Ride Technologies. You gotta love a guy who takes a mint '70 Buick GSX, stuffs it full of road race parts (including his own air suspension) and beats the crap out of it on America's fastest road courses. But these guys pale in comparison with Bob Johnson, owner of the g-Force 'Cuda, which graced our April cover. Driving up in the g-Force fashionably late, Bob started the predictable riot. It's the kind of car that'll make a dog vomit two blocks away when you light the motor. On a saner note, we got enlightened when we spoke with Kyle and Stacy Tucker of Detroit Speed & Engineering. Did you know before DSE, they both worked at GM as engineers on some of our favorite cars, like the Fourth Generation Camaro and Firebird? We shot their '69 Camaro parts development mule--look for it in an upcoming issue.
Other Stuff
Let's be clear, this is a family event. Got kids? Bring them along next year--there's even an hourly shuttle to the mall in case your wife doesn't share your sickness. I even brought my dad along, by his own admission the world's least horsepower-loving person (talk about over-compensation). He loved it. Lots more cool stuff happened, but there isn't room. Check out the pix and chicks, then go to yearone.com to get the 411 on next year. We've also got more online at popularhotrodding.com.

The real Daylight Saving Time
Well, here it comes again. Are you ready for it? It, of course, is Daylight Saving Time. On Sunday, March 10 we will turn our clocks forward one hour. Notice that it's called "Daylight Saving Time", not "Daylight Savings Time". I'm not sure how we "save" daylight by turning our clocks ahead. I don't think it needs saving. It's been made clear that we can't "buy time", but can we "save time?" It's kind of a confusing name, if you ask me. All I know is that it takes me about a week to adjust to Daylight Saving Time in the spring, and about a week to adjust back to Standard Time in the fall. Apparently the first time we tried to save time was during World War I, supposedly to save energy, but really it simply gives us an extra hour in the evening to work outside, wash the car, or engage in recreation. I know that as a farmer, it didn't matter to me what time it was; so long as there was enough daylight so I could see what I was doing, I was outside – working.Do you know that Daylight Saving Time is mentioned in the Bible? No, this is not a trick question. It's stated in Joshua 10:12-13: "On the day the Lord gave the Amorites (an alliance of the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon) over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel: 'O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.' So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation (of Israel) avenged itself of its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day." There you have it: the real Daylight Saving Time. This wasn't a matter of turning the clocks forward or back, or about having the longest lunch hour in recorded history — the sun actually stood still and the moon stopped to give the Israelites time to finish the battle. In those days, battles began at daybreak, while it was cool enough to maneuver with armor and weapons, before the scorching heat came. The Lord didn't just save daylight that day; He also saved the Gibeonites, who were allies of the Israelites (see Joshua 9:1-10:11).I like what the Bible says in Joshua 10:14: There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a man. Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel!"This brings us to the larger question: How important is prayer? When you pray, do you actually believe that the Lord will answer your prayers? Are you specific enough in praying so that you know without a doubt when the answer has come? We serve a great God, the same God as Joshua served. He's waiting to hear from us.

The Illinois General Assembly convenes at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield. Its first official working day is the second Wednesday in January each year. Its primary duties are to pass bills into law, approve the state budget, confirm appointments to state departments and agencies, act on federal constitutional amendments, and propose constitutional amendments for Illinois. It also has the power to override gubernatorial vetoes through a three-fifths majority vote in each chamber.
Illinois Ballot Question 1 in 1980 altered Section 1 of Article IV of the Illinois Constitution to reduce the number of members of the Illinois House of Representatives from 177 members to 118 members beginning with the elections in 1982.
As of May 2015, Illinois is one of 7 Democratic state government trifectas.
Article IV of the Illinois Constitution establishes when the General Assembly is to be in session. Section 5 of Article IV states that the General Assembly will convene its regular session on the second Wednesday of January.
Section 5 also creates rules for the convening of special sessions. The section allows the Governor of Illinois to convene the General Assembly or the Senate alone. When the Governor calls a special session, the General Assembly can generally only deal with matters related to the purpose of the session, as stated by the Governor's proclamation of the session, but they can also deal with impeachments or confirmation of appointments. Section 5 also allows the presiding officers of both houses of the General Assembly to convene a special session through joint proclamation.

Ethics and transparency
Open States Transparency
The Sunlight Foundation released an "Open Legislative Data Report Card" in March 2013. Illinois was given a grade of C in the report. The report card evaluated how adequate, complete and accessible legislative data was to the general public. A total of 10 states received an A: Arkansas, Connecticut, Georgia, Kansas, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington.[6]
- See also: Comparison of state legislative salaries
As of 2013, members of the Illinois House of Representatives are paid $67,836/year. Additionally, legislators receive $111/day per diem.[7]
When sworn in
Illinois legislators assume office the second Wednesday in January.
- See also: Redistricting in Illinois
The Illinois General Assembly is responsible for redistricting. If the General Assembly fails to meet the deadlines to have a redistricting plan in place, an 8-member back-up commission is used. Illinois is one of a few states to enact a hybrid method of redistricting.
2010 census
Illinois received its 2010 local census data on February 14, 2011. The state population increased from about 12.4 million to 12.8 million residents, a 3.3 percent growth.[8] The state's Latino population grew by 33% from 2000 to 2010, reaching 2 million. Meanwhile, non-Latino population declined by 0.8%.[9]
2011 was the first time under the current state Constitution that one party -- namely the Democrats -- controlled the state House, Senate and governorship during redistricting. A number of Republicans expressed concern that Democrats would draw partisan maps to serve their own interests.[10] Democrats released their proposed Senate map on May 19, 2011, and their House plan the following day. Democrats defended the new maps while being criticized from nearly all sides. Republicans said the maps would likely guarantee a Republican minority for the next decade. The new lines merged a number of current Republican districts, potentially leading to runoffs between incumbents in several districts.[11]
Republicans released counter-proposals on May 26, saying their maps were more fair. Democrats, however, easily passed their plans in both chambers, 35-22 in the Senate, and 64-52 in the House. Governor Pat Quinn (D) signed the new maps into law on June 3.[12]
Role in State Budget
- Main article: Illinois state budget
On the third Wednesday of February, the Illinois General Assembly receives an annual budget proposal from the Governor. The annual budget proposal is for the next fiscal year, which begins July 1st. The Legislature then revises this budget over the course of the next couple of months. In May, the Legislature votes on a budget.[13]
The Illinois General Assembly has had difficulty passing a balanced budget. Illinois faced a combined budget gap of $11.5 billion for FY 2009 ($4.3 billion) and 2010 ($7.2 billion). [14] July 7, 2009. Gov. Pat Quinn and the Illinois General Assembly could not agree on cuts and raising income taxes, leading to Gov. Quinn's veto on July 7, 2009 of budget measures, his second budget veto in a week.[15] The stalemate and ongoing fiscal crisis is not anticipated to be solved by the General Assembly's fall 2009 Veto Session that started on October 14. State Comptroller Dan Hynes claims Illinois currently has $3 billion in unpaid bills.[16]
The Illinois State Senate is the upper chamber of the Illinois General Assembly. It is made up of 59 senators elected from individual legislative districts determined by population. Each member represents an average of 217,468 residents, as of the 2010 Census.[17] After the 2000 Census, each member represented 210,496.[18] There is a movement to modify senatorial districts on a geographic basis in order to more accurately reflect the cultural, racial and political makeup of outstate and downstate. In order to avoid complete turnovers in Senate membership, under the Illinois Constitution of 1970, some senators are elected to two-year terms while others are elected to four-year terms. Senate districts are divided into three groups. One or two of these groups are elected every two years for either a two or four year term. The placement of the two-year term in the decade varies from one district to another, with all districts' terms defined as 2-4-4, 4-2-4, or 4-4-2.
Party | As of May 2015 | |
Democratic Party | 39 | |
Republican Party | 20 | |
Total | 59 |
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Illinois State Senate from 1992-2013.
House of Representatives
The Illinois House of Representatives is the lower house of the Illinois General Assembly. It is made of 118 representatives elected from individual legislative districts for a two-year term with no term limits. Each member represents an average of 108,734 residents, as of the 2010 Census.[19] After the 2000 Census, each member represented 105,248.[20]
Before the Cutback Amendment to the state constitution in 1980, the state was divided into 59 "legislative districts", each of which elected three representatives, yielding a House of 177 members. This unusual system was even more distinctive in that the individual voter was given three legislative votes to cast, and could cast either one vote each for three candidates, all three votes for one candidate (known as a "bullet vote"), or even 1 1/2 votes each for two candidates. After the passage of the Cutback Amendment, this system was abolished and representatives were elected from 118 single member constituencies.
Party | As of May 2015 | |
Democratic Party | 71 | |
Republican Party | 47 | |
Total | 118 |
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Illinois State House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
Partisan balance 1992-2013
Illinois State Senate: From 1992-2013, the Democratic Party was the majority in the Illinois State Senate for 12 years while the Republicans were the majority for 10 years. The final 11 years of the study depicted a shift in the Illinois senate with all 11 years being Democratic trifectas.
Across the country, there were 541 Democratic and 517 Republican state senates from 1992 to 2013.
Illinois State House of Representatives: From 1992-2013, the Democratic Party was the majority in the Illinois State House of Representatives for 20 years while the Republicans were the majority for 2 years. The Illinois State House of Representatives is one of 18 state Houses that was Democratic for more than 80 percent of the years between 1992-2013. During the final 11 years of the study, Illinois was under Democratic trifectas.
Across the country, there were 577 Democratic and 483 Republican State Houses of Representatives from 1992 to 2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states have divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Office of the Governor of Illinois, the Illinois State Senate and the Illinois House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
Roles and responsibilities
Amending the constitution
- Main article: Amending state constitutions
The Illinois state legislature under Article XIV of the Illinois Constitution can begin the process of amending the state's constitution in two different ways:
- A constitutional convention can be held if 60% of the members of both houses of the Illinois General Assembly vote to place such a question on the ballot.
- An legislatively-referred constitutional amendment can be proposed if 60% of the members of both houses of the Illinois General Assembly vote to put in on the ballot, with some constraints which include:
- The legislature can only propose to amend up to three articles of the constitution in any one election.
- The legislature is not allowed to propose any amendments when a constitutional convention has been called up through the time that an election is held on any proposed amendments or revisions that arise from that convention.
Whether the question at hand is about holding a constitutional convention, ratifying an amendment proposed by the Illinois General Assembly, or adopting an initiated constitutional amendment, these ballot questions are only considered successful if voters say "yes" by a supermajority vote of 60% of those voting on the question or a majority of those who cast a ballot for any office in that election.
Joint Legislative Committees
The Illinois General Assembly has three joint standing committees.
- Administrative Rules Committee, Illinois General Assembly
- Legislative Audit Commission, Illinois General Assembly
- Legislative Ethics Commission, Illinois General Assembly

Saffron-II-DT Ergonomic Task Chair Review
The ErgoCentric Saffron is a highly adjustable ergonomic task chair specifically designed for task intensive purpose for those that spend up to 8-10 hours a day sitting at work. It features a supportive mid back design that is particularly beneficial for shorter users looking for shoulder support. It also comes with a curved back rest with built in lumbar support that can be adjusted up or down in order to properly position the lumbar support to meet the curve of the user's lower back. Other notable features that come included are seat angle adjustment, back angle adjustment, seat height adjustment, forward tilt lock out, and back height adjustment.
With back pain becoming almost inevitable for workers spending hours a day in a seated position, it is important to find a solution to relieve discomfort caused by sitting in a poorly designed chair. The problem with most chairs lies in the fact that they are not designed to accommodate people of varying heights and weights. Most office chairs have a weight limit of up to 250 lbs. and are designed to fit users between 5'4"-5'10". So where does that leave the rest of us that do not fit in that height or weight range? Either with a broken chair or maybe even worse, a chair that does not fit us properly.
With ErgoCentric realizing that one size does not fit all they in turn created the Saffron Series line. The Saffron is available in 3 different sizes in accordance with their back height, the low back model, the mid back model, and a high back model. There is also a line of Saffrons that come with a multi function control, which allows for even more adjustability.
What we thought:
Quick synopsis - Comfortable for all day sitting and worth the higher price tag. I originally sat in this chair to test out the smaller seat option that is available with the chair, as I am 5'3" and most chairs put pressure on the back of my knees due to their seat depth. I found the padding on the chair to be outstanding, I can tell that the fabric will hold up for years to come even with 8 hours a day of usage. The back angle adjustment is especially ideal if you spend time hunched over typing during the work day, you are still able to get the support needed by adjusting the back angle forward. The number of different options available on the chair also ensure that you will get a chair that is tailor fit to meet your needs and requirements.
The Bad:
Some may find themselves feeling a bit uncomfortable sitting in the chair if they are used to having a recline feature on their previous chairs. The Saffron DT does not allow for the ability to recline back in the chair, which some people like to do while taking quick stretch breaks throughout the day. This is solved with the addition of a more advanced mulit-function mechanism that can be found in the Saffron MT series. Some people may also find the price to be a little steep, but this can be expected when purchasing any high quality ergonomic chair.
The Good:
The Saffron is a great, high quality ergonomic office chair that can be custom fit to meet the needs of just about any individual. It is also comfortable enough for all day sitting, something all of us look when working long hours 5 days a week. The biggest selling point of the Saffron, is the large number of options available to custom design the chair to fit you. There are three different seat sizes available to accommodate users of varying heights along with 7 different cylinder heights which determine how high the chair can be raised. There are also a number of upgradable features available including a seat slider adjustment that allows for a longer seat depth to be achieved, a memory foam seat option, a triple density(soft foam) seat foam option, an adjustable headrest, the option for a tailbone cut out for those that suffer from coccyx pain, and 5 different arm options.
5/5 Chairs
Overall, the Saffron is a great investment for those looking for a chair that will last them many years while also providing excellent ergonomic support. It is especially recommended for petite users that often have a difficult time finding a chair that will comfortably fit their legs and allow for their feet to remain flat on the floor.

Office Chair Review: Petite ergoCentric Saffron Office Chair!
1. Very customizable.
2. Small seat to fit any petite user.
3. High quality, very durable.
The Thorough Review:
Ergocentric Saffron I Dt- Petite Ergonomic Task Chair EGC-Saffron-I-DT is an absolute value when you combine it's ergonomics, customization, and price. First off, the manufacturer produces a high quality product, so aside from everything, the chair is a great product. On all their chairs, the quality is evident - the parts are strong, the chairs recline smoothly, and adjust easily. This chair is no exception to that, despite its petite size.
A great feature about this chair is the customization of the seat. Many petite users have a hard time finding a small chair that fits them the right way - thus they are uncomfortable and experience pain while sitting. With the Petite Saffron Chair, the options nullify that. There are 3 different seat sizes available that can fit any user, and varying cylinder heights so that a petite user's feet can actually touch the ground - a critical ergonomic principle. The chair is also available with or without arms, to suit the needs of any user.
All in all, this chair really measures up to the standards of any petite office chair needs. Finding the right chair for smaller people no longer has to be an arduous task!
The Ratings:
Ergocentric warrants their chairs for 10 years. And, each chair has a serial number tag on them, ensuring that you can get the right parts for your chair if there ever is any issue. Not that many arise with them...
For a petite office chair, the ergonomic components on this chair are outstanding. This particular model has a smaller backrest, but others in this line offer a tad more ergonomics. Still, getting a petite office chair with ergonomics like this one is a rarity.
Choose from 3 different seat sizes, a bunch of cylinder choices and multiple seat cushions. Not to mention over 40 fabrics. This is a VERY customizable petite office chair.
Overall Rating (Not an average):
Nothing more we can say other than this is a great petite office chair. The customization alone is worth the price - a price that is, at that, a very good value!

Definition | Reasons for Procedure | Possible Complications | What to Expect | Call Your Doctor
This is a surgery to remove severely diseased and damaged lungs. They are replaced with healthy lungs from a deceased donor. One or both lungs may be transplanted. In some cases, a heart transplant is done at the same time. In that case, the procedure is called a heart-lung transplant .
A lung transplant is done to treat irreversible, life-threatening lung disease, such as:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
If you are planning to have a lung transplant, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Before you have a lung transplant, you will go through an intensive evaluation. This is done to determine if you are a good candidate for this surgery. During the evaluation, which often requires a hospital stay, you will have some or all of the following tests:
If you are a good candidate for a transplant, you will be put on a waiting list. There is a shortage of donors. You may need to wait a long time. You will need to carry a cell phone with you at all times. This will allow the transplant team to reach you if a donor lung becomes available. Donors are matched carefully for size, tissue type, and other factors. In some cases, a healthy family member can donate a lung if you only need a single transplant.
Leading up to your procedure:
General anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery.
For a single lung transplant, the doctor will make an incision on your side. It will be about six inches below your underarm. For a double lung transplant, the doctor will make an incision across the lower chest.
You will be put on a ventilator and a heart-lung machine. This machine will take over the functions of the heart and lungs during surgery. Next, the doctor will remove a small section of rib. This will allow access to your lung. The old lung will be cut away from the main blood vessel and bronchus (large airway). The new lung will then be inserted. The doctor will attach the blood vessels and bronchus to the new lung.
You will stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for 2-3 days. The doctors and nurses pulse, breathing, and vital functions.
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
This surgery is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 7-10 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if you shows signs of rejecting the new lungs or have other problems.
Arrange for help at home until you can manage on your own. There will be some adjustments that you will have to make because of the transplant. These include:
It will take about 6 months to recover from a lung transplant.
It is important to monitor your recovery. Alert your doctor to any problems. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
Call for emergency medical services right away if any of the following occurs:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Braden's perfecto fits day-game trend
Braden's perfecto fits day-game trend
Eight of the past 14 perfect games have come in day games, but the modern trend shows something else entirely. Four of the five most recent perfect games -- those pitched by Braden, Mark Buehrle, David Cone and David Wells -- have come during the day. Just one perfect game in the past 15 years -- Randy Johnson's -- was thrown at night.
In fact, three of the past five have come specifically in Sunday afternoon games: Wells, Cone and Braden. Overall, eight of the 19 fit that description, including Jim Bunning's perfect Father's Day against the Mets.
Braden's, of course, came on Mother's Day -- a year to the day after he was hit by a line drive by Vernon Wells in a 5-0 loss to the Blue Jays.
"You know, a year later you don't expect anything like this," Braden said. "I'm just happy to be putting on the costume a year later."
Day and Night
Pitcher | Team | Date | D/N |
Don Larsen | New York (AL) | 10/8/1956 | Day |
Jim Bunning* | Los Angeles | 6/21/1964 | Day |
Sandy Koufax | Dodgers | 9/9/1965 | Night |
Catfish Hunter | Oakland | 5/8/1968 | Night |
Len Barker | Cleveland | 5/15/1981 | Night |
Mike Witt* | California | 9/30/1984 | Day |
Tom Browning | Cincinnati | 9/16/1988 | Night |
Dennis Martinez* | Montreal | 7/28/1991 | Day |
Kenny Rogers | Texas | 7/28/1994 | Night |
David Wells* | New York (AL) | 5/17/1998 | Day |
David Cone* | New York (AL) | 7/18/1999 | Day |
Randy Johnson | Arizona | 5/18/2004 | Night |
Mark Buehrle | Chicago (AL) | 7/23/2009 | Day |
Dallas Braden* | Oakland | 5/9/2010 | Day |
Last July 23, White Sox left-hander Buehrle became just one of six pitchers in baseball history to throw both a no-hitter and a perfect game on separate occasions, joining Cy Young, Addie Joss, Bunning, Sandy Koufax and Johnson. And in the immediate aftermath, he was overcome by the achievement.
"I think it will soak in a little later," Buehrle said moments after he'd completed his perfect game. "I still don't know what happened. Obviously, any time your name gets up there with some of the greats in the game, it means a lot."
After Cone threw his perfect game against the Expos at Yankee Stadium on July 18, 1999, there was a five-year span until Johnson's in Atlanta in 2004. Another five y ears passed before Buehrle's.
Braden's comes less than a year after that one, much like Cone's came 14 months after fellow Yankees pitcher Wells had managed the feat. Both Braden and Buehrle threw their perfect games against Tampa Bay, and the Rays have seven starters who played in both games.
Five of baseball's perfect games -- those of Lee Richmond, Monte Ward, Young, Joss and Charlie Robertson -- were thrown before lights were introduced to big league stadiums. More than 30 years passed between Robertson's perfecto in 1922 and the one thrown by Don Larsen in the 1956 World Series, the longest gap between two perfect games on record.
The 1960's saw three perfect games thrown -- by Bunning, Koufax and Catfish Hunter -- and two of them came in night games. There were no perfect games thrown in the 70's, and the 80's continued the momentum from earlier decades. Len Barker and Tom Browning threw perfect games at night, while Mike Witt made history during the day in 1984.

As we always say; if it's good enough for the President of the United States, it's got to be good enough for us! Old George Washington himself selected this lovely location along the Potomac River, and modern day residents enjoy taking strolling between the monuments, museums, and motorcades. Washington D.C. is split into four quadrants, with the U.S. Capitol building at the center. When searching for apartments, check out the hot cuisine in Penn Quarter, go dancing in Adams Morgan, or check out the rowhouses in Georgetown to get a good idea of what Washington DC has to offer.
Because so many movers and shakers want to live near the nexus of power, rent in Washington D.C. comes in on the high side. If you're looking for apartments in Washington D.C., studios and one-bedroom places generally start out around $1,500 a month. If you're in the market to rent more space, three-bedroom Washington DC apartments can cost anywhere from $3,500 to $7,000. But then again, with that high power government job you're probably not worried about rent, are you?
Politics, naturally, is the main business of Washington D.C with the federal government accounting for at least 1/3 of jobs in Washington DC. That being said, there are still plenty of jobs in other industries. Education, finance, public policy, and scientific research are all important sectors of the local economy.
When you're not working there are plenty of opportunities to explore all the national landmarks that are just a short trip from your apartment. Check out the White House and many famous memorials. Visit the National Archives, the Smithsonian museums and galleries, or the National Gallery of Art. Or you can watch the Washington Wizards, the Capitals, the Nationals, and the Redskins all play.

According to nvidia forums this is a beta driver
Phoronix: NVIDIA 100.14.23 Linux Driver Released
It was just yesterday that we at Phoronix told you to be on the lookout for a new NVIDIA Linux driver. Well, a new Linux driver is now available.
According to nvidia forums this is a beta driver
It doesn't appear to resolve the XVideo corruption bug either. Too bad. At least if it's still beta hopefully there is a chance the fix will still make it into the final release.
For me I see no differences to .19, but your mileage may vary.
i tried to install this new driver on ubuntu 7.10 but ran into some hurdles but now when i try (sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.23-pkg1.run) the terminal responds : sh: Can't open NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.23-pkg1.run.
would anyone have any suggestions on how to fix?
Are you using Ubuntu x64?
Disable restricted modules then execute:
in vt1 by using
sudo sh install-nvidia-debian.sh

Strasburg gets the call for Nats vs. Lohse, Brewers
Nationals welcome Central-leading Crew to start second half
Right-handed aces Kyle Lohse and Stephen Strasburg will kick off a very charged series between Washington and Milwaukee to begin the second half.
The Nationals were upset that injured starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann was their only selected representative at this year's All-Star Game at Target Field before right-handed reliever Tyler Clippard was tabbed to join the squad on Sunday afternoon.
But that's all they have to complain about in their attempt to overcome a disappointing 2013.
Washington entered the All-Star break tied for first with Atlanta in the National League East at 51-42, far superior to the club that broke for last year's Midsummer Classic with a 48-47 record having lost five of seven games.
As the Nationals prepare to battle the Braves down the home stretch, they will host the Brewers in a statement series to begin the second half. Milwaukee boasts the second-best record in the NL and is hoping for a second straight second-half surge.
The Brewers finished the 2013 season 36-28 despite losing Ryan Braun due to a 65-game suspension related to performance-enhancing drugs. The run helped put a 38-56 start behind them and has propelled them into their contending ways in 2014.
Milwaukee could sure use another second-half run considering how the team is limping into the break. The Brewers snapped a seven-game losing streak on Sunday and have lost nine of their past 11 games.
With Milwaukee aiming to rebound, there is no better place to start than away from Miller Park, where they are 24-24. The Brewers are 28-19 away from home, a record they will put on the line against the Nationals' 28-19 mark in Washington.
Strasburg has been electric in 11 starts at Nationals Park this season, compiling a 6-1 record with a 2.38, a 1.10 WHIP and 93 strikeouts in 72 innings. He has recorded nine quality starts in his past 10 turns in Washington.
Lohse boasts six victories on the road, but his 3.99 ERA and .252 opponents' batting average in 11 outings outside of Wisconsin are both numbers that could improve. He is trending in the wrong direction as he owns a 5.28 ERA in his past five road outings.
Brewers: K-Rod hopes to finish comeback season strong
Milwaukee closer Francisco Rodriguez earned his first All-Star nod since 2009 thanks to what has been a return to form for the right-hander in 2014. His 27 saves in the first half are more than he has tallied in any of the past four seasons.
The five-time All-Star owns a better first-half ERA (2.43) than second-half (2.99), including a 4.13 ERA and only one save in 24 innings for the Brewers after last year's All-Star break.
But perhaps being only 17 saves away from passing Randy Myers to enter the Top 10 saves leaders may provide Rodriguez extra motivation on top of Milwaukee's contention in the NL pennant race.
Nationals: Rendon really ripping
One All-Star snub that bothered Washington was that of Anthony Rendon, who fell short in the NL's Final Vote. He is batting .287 with 24 doubles, five triples, 13 homers, 52 RBIs and a .343 on-base percentage -- all career highs.
Rendon has hit safely in 29 of his past 35 games, totaling half of his doubles and more than half of his home runs while hitting .324 (46-for-142), raising his batting clip more than 20 points in a stretch in which the Nationals are 22-13.
Worth noting
• Milwaukee will stick with its rotation order to begin the second half, sending Lohse to the hill on Friday and pitching Matt Garza on Saturday.
• Ryan Zimmerman is batting .294 (10-for-34) with two doubles and two RBIs against Lohse. Jayson Werth is hitting .300 (9-for-30) with three homers, three doubles and six RBIs against Lohse.
• Werth is batting .375 (15-for-40) with six doubles, an NL-best six home runs and a Major League-leading 19 RBIs in July. He impressed last July too, winning NL Player of the Month honors for a similarly strong effort.

DianaBest TweezersThis is the second set of these tweezers I've owned (I misplaced my others and have been missing it so much that I bought another). Best product for use on ingrown hairs and/or splinters. My husband even uses them sometimes. Seriously, I know they're expensive, but they're worth it!posted Mar 6, 2012Link to this post
DanteVery Well Made But...These tweezers are very well made/aligned but there is one main setback which in effect nullifies the company's manufacturing standards.
Its sharp like a pair of scissors in the tip portion as well as several mm's above the point.
The end product of this? many a time it just cut the hair rather then gripping it... Making the hair harder and harder to tweeze. It's certainly possible i just got a lemon.
If you just bought these tweezers and are going to use them for a splinter, test them out on a hair first and see if the above applies to you.... Cutting the splinter's already small protruding portion above the skin will bring you bouts of joy as you go tunneling away deep into your epidermis with these needle nosed tweezersposted Nov 8, 2010Link to this post -
Jan M.Royse City, TexasGreat TweezersI was skeptical about these tweezers and thought that the price was very high. But I had been looking for a GOOD pair of tweezers for months. The first time I used the Rubis tweezers I knew that I had made the right choice. They can pull out even the smallest, finest hairs. Im glad I made the investment.posted May 13, 2008Link to this post
JoeGreat Tweezers, But Don't Drop 'em!Yes, they are definitely the best tweezers Ive found for the price. Im on my second pair. The first fell off the bathroom counter onto the floor and were useless since the tips bent. Now I always keep the little plastic cap on the tips and am extra careful not to drop em. Funny, I wrote a similar review when I dropped the first set and that review conveniently disappeared...posted Apr 15, 2008Link to this post
JoanMadisonville, La.Rubis TweezersThis is the best tweezers we have ever used for the ingrown hair. The tips are so small and pointed that they can get the ingrown hair out before it gets inbedded. I would buy it again they work great.posted Feb 12, 2008Link to this post
Mrs. F.ArizonaVery Happy With This ProductI have tried many different brands of tweezers including the expensive ones at local specialty stores. Nothing compares with the precision of these tweezers. But beware, these tweezers and a magnifying mirror can create quite a plucking addiction!posted Feb 11, 2008Link to this post

Originally posted by Maelwydd One of the primary features of any TES game is that from the very beginning you could deviate from the storyline and do your own thing, you werent forced into choosing between 2 or 3 different things, you could choose them, if you wanted to, but it wasnt something that was forced on you, which.. despite my having been playing Skyrim now since the game came out, i havent actually completed the storyline, i didnt join the stormcloaks, i didnt join the imperials, although i did join a few of the 'dodgier' organisations along the way.. and it was/is a fun game, still.. can you do that kind of thing with ESO.. no, because ESO is just another of the 'you must play the game the way we say' games.. |
Originally posted by ikarrian what you mentioned isn't the only option, Remember how when ESO first came out, immediately everyone started complaining about how they were gonna add skills into the game, after a few months of silence, finally they changed their methods, and went back to Mana, Stamina, Health bars only, no more skills like other MMO. What that means is that if enough people give realistic comments and methods in which they can fix, with time, if they see that its really an big deal, they will change it. I have already Read alot of fixes that others thought of, including, instead of Three Race factions, its Three Power Factions that everyone can join, but is locked after joining. That means, you can have a mixture of different races within one Power faction. Or based on Guild, or based on Political Sides. But nothing is locked once you created your character, only afterwards. And these fixes that I have read doesn't bash the developers, rather its giving them options to make a game that is closer to the feeling of Elder Scrolls. Sitting there and taking what ever the Developer throws at you without any input is the worst thing a Gamer can do. Developers are humans as well, the team that works to bring you the game are also Human, with proper and realistic suggestions and input is what helps them create a better game. Life is a Maze, so make sure you bring your GPS incase you get lost in it. |
Originally posted by Lucioon Also when you think of a TES game you think of the comminity and the mods. While I can completely accept that mods will not happen, the precident is established tha the community is very commited to improving the game. Very often it has been mentioned that Bethesda simply love what the community is able to do with mods. They sometimes come up with some really great idea's and sometime better then what was designed for the game. Now we the community may not be able to mod the game, but in the same spirit as is present within the modding community a responsible developer would understand that, sometimes the community actually knows what they want better then the developer does. It may not happen often but it does happen. So I see any post made by a fan who is critical of a feature and offers a suggestion on how to improve it is 100% within the spirit of the TES series. The only thing they lack is the ability to physically do something about the improvement as they cannot make a mod. I hope the developers understand the valuable imput the community (and lets face it buying public) can provide and pay attention to what people are saying. You know if enough people have the same opinion and opposers are simply oppsed because they don't care it is probably worth a second look. |
ESO should alow players to explore every content as long if player/s don't join any sides. |

Originally posted by DSWBeef This isa problem in all faction games though not just ESO. I remember wanting to play a Shaman in vanilla WoW but my friends wanted to play night elves. Same thing in DAoC, I wanted to play Hibernia (I am Irish after all) but I choose to follow my guildies and play Albion. The trick is to find the right race/class for each faction. I know for a fact I want to play a Dunmer (Dark Elf) but I have also settled on a Bossmer if the guild goes the Aldmeri Dominion. Now if they go Daggerfall I am screwed because I don't like any of those races lol. |

Originally posted by DSWBeef It does promote exploration and there is NO quest hubs. Its based on looking for points of interests on your compass in much the same way Skyrim plays out. |
OP...not at all.In fact I take every opportunity to support faction lock.
Yes it did, but I've learned this game isn't really for TES fans just for those who like daoc. It probably still sell well just because of the TES ip, and then probably drop in active members like mad when people realize they're not getting a TES mmo Then with the few million or so left who like the game will slowly leave one by one as they realize there is no endgame because Zenimax won't be making enough money to support rapid development of content. And then it will fall to the way side just like the many other themeparks before it |
No quite the opposite. Love the fact that they have races locked to factions. Makes them more distinctive. Its far better when you know an enemy race is running towards you, rather than just looking for the hostile name tag. Also locking the leveling areas is fine, just gives me reason to reroll other factions and see the world from their point of view. |
My question is why can't the make it both, have this mega server be PVE and PvP? PVE everything is open everyone can run everywhere.... but if you want pvp you sign up for your faction (like SWG or old school EQ when return the book to be flag pvp) Once you sign up in your faction you will become flag as Pvp and can attack other flag Players, other faction citys guards will attack you ect... |
As it is only 1 server and you can only be in one faction, yes that sucks. Would be better with 3 servers, then you can play all three factions. |
No... If anything, it's piqued my interest. The game is based around three alliances, basically racial alliances. Switching that all up at the character level is going against the point and creates a contradictory game story/world. Race has always been a big deal in TES games, and racism has always been a big deal as well. Cultures and races are very distinct and isolated geographically. It makes complete sense that the alliances would be phobic. There is no middle ground for compromise for the developers, you either let everyone or no one cross-racialize the factions. They had to choose one of the extremes in character creation, contradiction and variation, or culture and limits. They definitely made the right decision, as min-maxing would definitely take advantage of the other and eventually destroy the overall story/lore from within, which is a huge part of any great game. Faction lock made DAoC a great game. Faction pride, sense of belonging, distinct culture and ways of doing things as a group/faction, immediate recognition of enemies, consistent lore, etc. etc. I guarantee you if you could play a troll wizard, lurikeen berserker, or a half-ogre bainshee, DAoC would've been a complete and utter failure. It's nice to see another game making a good decision for a change. |
Originally posted by Ebonheart I don't want to be a grammar Nazi, but I figured I should do a community service. The expression is 'piqued my interest' and not 'peaked my interest'. Pique means to excite or to arouse an emotion. |
Originally posted by evilastro Either works actually. Perhaps I meant that my interest has reached it's peak. Therefore this has peaked my interest. Regardless, I changed it. You should be able to continue with your life now. |
If our guild is locked to one faction then yeah we likely won't be establishing here. Back when DAOC launched it wasn't such a huge issue as you didn't have all these pre-existing guilds that had been playing together for years. I played DAOC once there was a co-op server and was free to roam all territories, and our guild could group together no matter which area we were from. Really wish they'd offer this option for those who don't care to pvp.
Has Guild Wars 2 made everybody anti-faction? Factions have been a part of some of the biggest selling MMO's on the planet. People act like they said there would be no WASD movement or something. What's with the constant mud slinging at TESO? It's blatantly obvious that there is a small, but loud, segment of players that simply want this game to fail, and fail hard. I'm not saying that I think it's an awesome game or a bad game - NOBODY HAS PLAYED IT YET. What if it's fun? Let's wait until we get a chance to beta this sucker before we crucify it. |
Originally posted by Ebonheart Yeah your right racism has been a big thing in TES however why in the world would the Orcs be allied with Redguard or the Argonians allied with Dunmer. I mean Blackmarsh is not that far from Elsweyr and the Argonians are natural born swimmers and sea folk. The Factions were never about rasism or land locks its only about remaking daoc and then slaping a coat of TES paint over it. |

Rangers' road to break goes through Verlander
Texas sends Perez to oppose Tigers ace to close out season's first half
The Rangers fell to Doug Fister and got past Max Scherzer. Now they'll face Justin Verlander in Sunday's rubber match at Comerica Park.
That doesn't sound like an easy path to the All-Star break.
"The three pitchers we're facing in this series aren't just anybody," Texas' David Murphy said. "They're tough on everybody they face. We've had some good battles against these guys. This is their park, and they play well here."
Verlander hasn't been the same dominant ace this season, allowing five runs on 12 hits in seven-plus innings in a loss to the White Sox on Wednesday, but the All-Star right-hander is 7-3 with a 2.92 ERA in 12 starts against the Rangers. It's the fourth-lowest ERA against Texas among active pitchers with at least 10 starts. He has struck out 9.36 batters per nine innings against the Rangers.
"Hopefully, we can answer the call," Murphy said. "These are the last games before the All-Star break. We need to come out with a lot of intensity and play our best."
Texas will counter with Martin Perez, who is 3-0 with a 1.44 ERA in his last four starts since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock. He allowed four runs (two earned) in six-plus innings against the Orioles on Tuesday.
"I just need to keep doing what I'm doing," Perez said. "Concentrate, focus and execute my pitches, and just do my job."
Perez made just one appearance against the Tigers last season, in relief, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits in two-thirds of an inning.
Among the sluggers Perez will be facing is Miguel Cabrera, who has 95 RBIs and will look to become the third player to hit 100 before the break. He is the first player in Major League history to have 30 home runs and 90 RBIs at the time of the Midsummer Classic.
"I'm amazed at what he does every day, but I don't think it's something, really, you probably ever think about until your career is over," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "You sit back and you say, 'You know, I was the manager that year this guy was doing all this.' I'm sure you do that. But you have so much on your plate all the time that you don't really have time to sit back to think about that. But I'm sure at some point in my lifetime I will."
Tigers: Valverde on Triple-A inactive list
Jose Valverde was placed on the temporary inactive list by Triple-A Toledo on Friday due to a family matter. There is no timetable for his return. Valverde has picked up two saves in four appearances since being outrighted on June 27. He's allowed two runs on five hits in four innings.
Rangers: Lewis, Gentry set for rehab assignments
Outfielder Craig Gentry, on the disabled list with a fractured left hand, is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Sunday. Right-hander Colby Lewis could join Gentry on Wednesday, as the Rangers are planning to send him on his rehab assignment. Lewis threw 46 pitches in a batting practice session on Saturday.
Worth noting
• Rangers starters are 10-13 since the beginning of June after Derek Holland's win on Saturday. Before that contest only the White Sox had fewer wins in that span.
• The Tigers are 23-16 all-time against the Rangers at Comerica Park, but they've lost five of the last seven games at home to Texas.

When kids get bigger and older but don't actually grow up, what do you get? Adult Children. Like Harvey and Sally and Berle. As they brave their way into the baffled new world, nobody is prepared for their role, but everyone does their best, pretending to be responsible contributors to society. Because with no power comes great responsibility. But don't tell Berle. He's barely aware that society exists, let alone how it works. And then there's Claremont the dog, who dreams big, naps hard, and may be the most mature of all.
