Asthma is a chronic disease that affects the function and lining of the airways or tubes of the lungs. It narrows the airways and makes it difficult to breathe.
There are different degrees of asthma. Some children may have mild asthma with rare flare-ups. Others may have a severe, constant asthma.
Tightening of the muscles around the airway and chronic inflammation cause airways to narrow. This makes it hard to breathe.
The exact causes of asthma are unknown, but genetics play a role.
Certain conditions are known to trigger an asthma attack. These include:
- Respiratory infection—more common in younger children
- Exercise, especially in cold air—more common in teenagers
Substances that cause allergies include:
- Pollen
- Dust
- Animal dander
- Mold
- Food, rarely
- Sinus infections
- Tobacco smoke or other chemical irritants
- Sudden change in weather
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your child's chance of asthma include:
- Family history
- History of allergies and/or eczema
- Exposure to tobacco smoke
- Respiratory infections before age one and common colds before six months of age
- Premature birth
- Chlorinated pool use in children who are already at risk for asthma
- Taking medications such as acetaminophen
Symptoms may include:
- Shortness of breath
- Coughing
- Trouble breathing
- Wheezing
- Chest tightness
- Fatigue
- Complaints of chest pain
- Difficulty during feeding in infants
- Trouble sleeping
- Avoiding exercise or sports
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor will listen to your child's lungs. Your child may be referred to a specialist. A pulmonologist focuses on the lungs. An allergist/immunologist focuses on allergies.
Your child's lungs may be tested. This can be done with:
- Spirometry test
- Challenge test
- Medication trial
Images may be taken of your child's bodily structures. This can be done with x-ray.
Your child may be tested for common allergens that may trigger symptoms. This can be done with skin testing.
Your child's oxygen concentration may be measured. This can be done with pulse oximetry.
Talk with your child's doctor about the best plan for your child. You and your child's doctor should also create an asthma action plan. This is a plan your child will follow to help control asthma and handle asthma attacks. Treatment will vary based on symptoms and the number of asthma episodes your child has. It is important that you stick to your child's treatment plan.
Treatment options include the following:
Lifestyle Changes
You can help your child reduce the chance of triggering an asthma attack by making lifestyle changes, such as:
- Know what your child is allergic to and avoid known triggers. These may include certain pollen, dust, foods, and air pollution.
- Avoid outside activities if there are high levels of air pollution, pollen, or mold spores.
- Keep your windows closed during seasons with high pollen or mold spores. Air conditioning may help filter out allergens during warm seasons.
- Consider getting a portable HEPA unit air cleaner to use in sleeping areas, for your heating/cooling system, and your vacuum cleaner.
- Avoid exposing your child to tobacco smoke.
- Have proper heating, cooling, and ventilation systems in your home.
- Keep the humidity down in your house. This may help prevent the growth of mold.
Medications used to treat asthma fall into one of two categories:
- Short-term medications used to treat an asthma attack, such as bronchodilators and corticosteroids
- Long-term control medications to relax the airways and keep them from tightening, such as inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta agonists
In addition to the medications, children older than six months should get a yearly flu shot. Children with asthma are at a higher risk of having complications from the flu.
Your child's asthma may be triggered by allergies. In this case, your doctor may advise allergy shots. These shots are small amounts of an allergen injected into the skin. Over time, your child will react less to the specific allergen(s). With less triggers, the asthma also decreases.
Sublingual immunotherapy may also be used. This type of treatment involves putting the allergic substances under the tongue, rather than using allergy shots.
There are no known ways to prevent your child from developing asthma. You can encourage your child with asthma to reduce the risk of asthma episodes by following the treatment plan and avoiding triggers. General guidelines include:
- Avoid strong chemicals or odors like perfume.
- Avoid challenging outdoor exercise during days with high air pollution, a high pollen count, or a high ozone level.
- If cold weather triggers your asthma, avoid strenuous activities in cold weather. If you must, use a scarf or mask to warm the air before it reaches your lungs.
- Avoid secondhand smoke. Do not allow anyone to smoke in your home.
- Don't use a wood-burning stove or fireplace, including unvented gas fireplaces.

With the price of solar panels falling more than 50 percent last year, what is the impact on the U.S. solar industry as it battles to compete with China?
You are here
SEIA is the solar energy industry's go-to source for the latest coverage on solar power, including U.S. and international policy, research and polls, business and financing trends, and more. Our staff strives to support the media covering solar energy issues and guide our members on effective media outreach with clear statements, background materials, news and multimedia resources.
SEIA is committed to informing policymakers, the media, and the American public about the benefits of solar energy for today's communities, our economy, and our country.
Learn more from our statements and industry news below.
Installations of Solar Energy Systems Double
When it comes to solar power, more and more Americans are seeing the light.
U.S. Solar Power Growth Jumps to New Record
The U.S. solar industry installed a record number of panels in 2011, more than double 2010, and is likely to see strong growth again this year, according to a new report.
New Solar Panels Blossomed Despite a Tough Year for the Industry
Last year seemed like a dark one for the solar industry: stiff competition from China drove American manufacturers to layoffs and even bankruptcy, while the low price of natural gas and the loss of a critical government subsidy weakened incentives for new solar developments. And then there was the long shadow of Solyndra, whose bankruptcy after receiving federal loans cast a pall over other green-energy endeavors.
Colorado Solar Installations Jump in 2011
Colorado remained fifth in the nation for photovoltaic installations, as the number of megawatts installed jumped 69 percent to 91 megawatts in 2011 compared with 2010, according to a study released today.

As a surgical pathologist, I examine tissue samples removed by biopsy or surgery to provide patients with accurate diagnoses. I am an active member of two dedicated teams of specialists in gynecologic and genitourinary pathology and work closely with surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and other healthcare professionals to offer quality subspecialty cancer care for our patients.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I maintain an active commitment to translational research in the diagnosis and pathogenesis of disease. My research is focused on the genetic understanding of gynecologic cancers, particularly endometrial stromal tumors (mesenchymal tumors of the uterus) and gestational trophoblastic disease (diseases of the placenta), as well as copy number variation polymorphisms and their applications in surgical pathology practice.
I am actively involved in the education of outstanding fellows who train in general surgical oncologic, gynecologic, and genitourinary pathology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I am also an invited lecturer in gynecologic pathology at national pathology courses.

Secondary hypertension (secondary high blood pressure) is high blood pressure that's caused by another medical condition. Secondary hypertension differs from the usual type of high blood pressure (essential hypertension), which is often referred to simply as high blood pressure. Essential hypertension, also known as primary hypertension, has no clear cause and is thought to be linked to genetics, poor diet, lack of exercise and obesity.
Secondary hypertension can be caused by conditions that affect your kidneys, arteries, heart or endocrine system. Secondary hypertension can also occur during pregnancy.
Proper treatment of secondary hypertension can often control both the underlying condition and the high blood pressure, which reduces the risk of serious complications — including heart disease, kidney failure and stroke.

A Kansas House committee is preparing to debate sweeping anti-abortion legislation aimed at ensuring the state doesn't subsidize abortions even indirectly through tax exemptions or credits.
The measure on Thursday's agenda of the Federal and State Affairs Committee also would strengthen a law designed to prevent medical residents from performing abortions on state property.
The bill has the strong support of abortion opponents, and abortion-rights supporters consider it the most serious threat to access to the procedure being considered this year.
Under the bill, a woman who has an abortion couldn't include the cost in calculating her medical expenses if she deducts them on her income taxes. Also, groups providing abortion couldn't claim the same sales tax exemption on certain purchases as other health care providers.

This is a detection type barrier that can be used to surround an area in a dome, and allows them to monitor said area remotely.
The barrier itself is twofold in nature: first it create a giant, dome-shaped barrier which surrounds a designated area including the sky above it, as well as below the earth. The sphere has several circles which have the kanji for boundary (界), and "barrier" (結界, kekkai) inscribed in them. The barrier is connected to a second, smaller barrier called a Sensing Water Ball (感知水球, Kanchi Suikyū)[1] which the technique user uses to detect entrants into the barrier as well as maintain the size, and shape barrier. When someone passes through the barrier, the sphere ripples at the point of entry.[2] This sphere is made from water,[3][4] and persons, or chakra is represented as varying-sized blimps.
This barrier is the one which surrounds Konohagakure and is maintained by the village's barrier team.[5] During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Inoichi Yamanaka and Ao erected this barrier which was used by the Allied Shinobi Forces' Sensor Division to monitor the battle from the headquarters and pass information on to the Intelligence Division.

Cadmium toxicity occurs when a person breathes in high levels of cadmium from the air, or eats food or drinks water containing high levels of cadmium. Cadmium is a naturally occurring metal. It is usually present in the environment as a mineral combined with other elements like oxygen, chlorine, or sulfur. Either short-term or long-term exposure to cadmium can cause serious health problems. If you suspect you have been exposed to cadmium, contact your doctor right away.
Most cadmium used in the United States is a byproduct of the productions of metals such as zinc, lead, and copper. It is also found in the following products:
When cadmium enters the air, it binds to small particles. It falls to the ground or water as rain or snow, and may contaminate fish, plants, and animals. Improper waste disposal and spills at hazardous waste sites may cause cadmium to leak into nearby water and soil.
Having skin contact with cadmium is not known to cause health problems, but the following exposures to cadmium can cause serious health problems:
Anyone can develop cadmium toxicity as a result of cadmium exposure. Factors that increase your chances of being exposed to cadmium include:
Eating food or drinking water contaminated with high levels of cadmium can result in:
Breathing in cadmium can result in:

Doesn't all new CPUs come with a built-in hardware (P)RNG?
Phoronix: New "Jitter Entropy" RNG Proposed For Linux
The Linux kernel RNG implementation for providing random numbers has worked quite well for its years in use. However, a new jitter entropy generator implementation has been proposed that is capable of providing 100 kB/s throughput of randomness...
Doesn't all new CPUs come with a built-in hardware (P)RNG?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RdRand (uses RNG to seed PRNG)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardwar...or#Clock_drift (VIA C3)
More entropy the better when you really want Random numbers.
Entropy is something that is unpredictable, hard to guess.
PRNGs are algorithms that need to be seeded (keyed) with some entropy before they can output anything. Simple example of PRNG: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC4
(T)RNGs get entropy from physical properties, like thermal noise, nuclear decay or in this case CPU timing jitter.
(T)RNG is usually used to seed PRNG.
Both types output statistical random data.

I think that it would be good to have separate sections within 'beauty & fashion', such as cosmetics, plastic surgery/body modification, clothing, hair, etc. This way, it'd be easier to find threads as opposed to sorting through threads that you're not interested in. And maybe sticky some of the main threads, such as the Nail Thread, Where to Find thread, and Creations thread. These are just some ideas based on lurking here for a while (:
Keayara wrote on 15 November 2011 - 05:04 PM:
I think sub forums are a pretty good idea.
Possibly also a neater way for reviews to be organized.
Improving the stickies in the forum, some very large threads aren't stickied yet.
Quicker response on mods banning spambots, although it's pretty good already, faster could always be better.
Move the ulzzang thread to celebrities, all the other different races of ulzzang threads are in the "other celebrities" section, I don't see why korean ulzzangs are the exception.
Also the obvious nasofix advertising one. =/

Another thing we're looking into is possibly doing beauty swaps within Soompi (like the ones you see on MakeupAlley), let us know if you guys have any ideas on that? Or if it's something you would even like to do (also let us know if you think it's a lame idea too)?
Keayara wrote on 15 November 2011 - 11:00 PM:
I think that's a great idea, but requires a lot of implementation and regulation. I mean it'd really suck if some girls were dissapointed because they had scammers for their partner.

For some reason, I thought there was a thread that listed and linked many of the major topics. It would take work to maintain, but something like that would be nice instead of having so many pinned topics.
I don't know what the MUA beauty swap is, but just those two words sounds like something I'd be interested in!
Mmm... I don't like the subforums idea. The B&F forum isn't very active IMO and I like to have it as a whole because I can see most of the new threads/new posts on the first page. An idea for those who want to look at specific threads/specific topics is to perhaps implement tags for posts so one could click on a tag, and posts with the tag will show up?

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Hogettes will oink no more.
The group of male fans who have cheered on the Washington Redskins for three decades while wearing dresses, floppy hats and pig snouts announced Friday that the group is retiring.
The Hogettes said on their website that it's a "new era." They say they'll still be Redskins fans and will be continue to help raise money for children's charities - although in more "incognito" fashion.
Hogettes founder Michael Torbert told The Washington Post that 30 seasons is "enough of guys in pig snouts and dresses."
The Hogettes began in 1983, when they started putting on dresses to entertain patients at children's hospitals. They also became fixtures at Redskins games, getting their name from the team's legendary "Hogs" offensive line.

English Hardcopy Black & White | $ 6.93
When he created Shanghai Tang in 1994, Hong Kong businessman David Tang intended to launch China's first bona-fide luxury brand. In the first few years, Tang's flamboyant, cross-cultural style and ties to celebrities fueled the buzz surrounding the brand. But the brand was unable to establish its core customer outside its home market of Hong Kong, and the company struggled to find a niche among successful, established global luxury brands. In 2005, under new leadership and revised creative direction, Shanghai Tang expanded into several regional markets worldwide, with a particular focus in Asia. But was the company on track to become the first global Chinese luxury brand?
learning objective:
To introduce and illustrate the concept of luxury lifestyle branding in a global context. To elicit analysis and discussion of branding issues relevant to the luxury lifestyle apparel segment. To examine key branding lessons, include the following: Strong luxury brands have rich, cohesive brand images and deeply entrenched brand values; Strong luxury brands resonate with consumers by clearly and consistently communicating what the brand means; Building a strong luxury brand is an art in which creativity is crucial; In the luxury apparel sector, violating a brand promise can have negative consequences; Keeping a luxury brand fresh over time requires innovation and relevance throughout the marketing program.
subjects covered:
- Geographic: Hong Kong
- Industry: Apparel accessories

Parking fight leads to arrest of Salem man
Police said Keith Butzien, 27, moved his car but only after he greeted officers with a profanity-laced tirade. As police were leaving the 307 Main St. residence, they noticed him "flipping them the bird" from his apartment window and yelling something.
Six minutes later, the neighbor called police to report Butzien again had blocked her car.
Butzien, police were told, also shouted "Have a nice day pig" at the officers as they were leaving. Police again went to Butzien's apartment and was met by a "volatile, aggressive" Butzien yelling profanities, according to a news release. "I know your name and number, and I will see you on the street," Butzien allegedly threatened.
Officers told Butzien he was under arrest, and police said he immediately began "hostile actions toward the officers, who were able to quickly take him into custody."
He was charged with criminal threatening, resisting arrest and two counts of disorderly conduct.
Police said when Butzien threatened them, they heard a small child crying inside the apartment. One of the officers stayed with the child until care could be arranged.
Butzien's car also was moved so the neighbor could leave.
Butzien was later released on $500 cash bail pending arraignment.

Lindsay McPhail to dance with the local stars
The woman who shot to fame locally as a result of the recent Extreme Makeover: Home Edition TV event, will be back in the spotlight in November.

Phoronix: Dissecting The ATI/AMD Linux Driver
If you have been reading our ATI/AMD Linux display driver reviews for some time, you will know that there are periods where it doesn't look like the fglrx driver is actively being worked on, but in fact changes are being made "under the hood". We are going through one of these droughts right now where not many new features or bug fixes are being introduced, though a lot of work is going on internally. We have decided to dissect the last 19 months of driver releases from ATI/AMD to expose some interesting facts and what should be coming in the future.
you know, this new strings could be just stubs :]
if there are so many changes, why aren't we noticing a thing?
I've little hope right a the moment. They might be able to pull something off- but with past performances, I doubt it. I'm sure most of the rest of the long-time Linux users echo that sentiment.
It'll probably be into middle of next year before we have anything to speak of unless they give out the technical info to drive the R300, R400, etc. chipsets so that the DRI team can do something of it. Unless they throw quite a few people (That KNOW Linux) into the mix, they're not going to have enough resources in the time left to them to get anything good enough to be excited about by the end of this year. They may pleasantly surprise me, but my gut level feel of the whole situation tells me it's not going to happen.
i'm tired of hoping that "maybe the next release will be better". i just need decently working xv. is that too much too ask?I think that's been explained already... do you have no hope left for the end of the year?
if it doesn't happen - i'm using opensource drivers.
if it does happen - great, i'll try it. but i'll hope that opensource driver devs catch up.
if it won't change a thing - opensource drivers again.

Cam McCaul is Back 8
After breaking his femur at Crankworx Colorado this past August, Cam McCaul is back on the bike, shredding like nothing ever happened. Filmed today, November 1, the official opening day of Dirt Jump Season in Aptos, CA.
sspomer's videos 0 of 1529 « Previous Next »
Plus, it seems that Piotr's injury was worse than normal. Remember Cam's break was as clean as it could have been, thus, making it easier for the bones to heal. If you compare it to, lets say, Fabien Barel's femur break, in which he broke it in more than one piece, bones displaced and everything, thats a different thing, and obviously, different time recovering... Also, as said before, every body heals differently, maybe Cam is also a quick healer too...
Great to see him back on the bike thouqh, he is so skilled!!
@ piotr, it all comes down to things like calcium injections, diet, and properly designed sports rehab by people that know their stuff. Most of us dont get access to this type of help so it takes a lot longer, also it sounds like you did a good job on yours- all injuries are different...
Cool!!!! i'm just wondering do US riders have got better bones then Euro?
I broke my femour (split open) amd i wasnt walking for almost a year;(
Great to se him on a bike again

Memory Card Buying Guide
Memory cards are everywhere today and there are so many types, brands and speeds that it can get confusing at times when one is looking to purchase one. They can be found in PDAs, Cellphones, Computers, Cameras, MP3 players, game systems and many other gadgets on the market today. The primary use for many types of memory cards is digital cameras with cellphones coming in a close second as more and more phones are coming equipped with a slot for them to let you expand your storage capabilities.
One important thing to know about memory cards is that not all cards are created equal, and that is in terms of quality and their transfer speeds, being a product reviewer, over the years I've had the chance to own and test many brands of cards, of course doing what I do I've got many gadgets and have purchased many memory cards as well.
From my experience it's often better to go with a name brand over a cheap inexpensive lesser known company when purchasing anything tech related, this I've found goes the same for memory cards, it might be cheaper but in the long run you'll regret purchasing it as it won't last as long and usually with cheaper cards they perform below their rated or advertised speeds.
Types of Cards:
Compact Flash: CF Cards were one of the first types of cards produced, and still are, they are a very popular memory card for digital cameras, the format has been around since 1994 and was first produced by SanDisk. There are two primary types of CF cards, Type I and Type II, TYPE I is a flash memory based card, where the TYPE II, also sometimes called Microdrive, is usually a miniature hard drive that offers a longer lifetime over it's flash based counterpart, but being a hard drive makes them more susceptible to shock and damage from vibration, they also draw more power that flash cards, so even if your device says CFII compatible it might not be compatible with Microdrive CF cards. Type II cards can also be flash based as well, but flash memory CFII cards are rare, so make sure you pay attention to the specifications of your device before purchasing this type of card.
SD/MMC Cards:
SD or Secure Digital and MMC or Multi Media Cards are very similar, they're exactly the same size in fact, and are basically interchangeable. The major difference between them is the fact that you can secure, or write-protect the files or data on an SD card where you can't on an MMC card. These types of cards can be found in all sorts of devices, from older cellphones, to cameras, MP3 players and numerous other types of portable devices.
Mini, Micro and Reduced Size Cards:
There is a subdivision of SD/MMC cards as well, these are essentially the same but just smaller.
-Reduced Size MMC cards are half the size of MMC cards and not very popular anymore, they were primarily used in Nokia and Siemens cellphones a couple years ago but were replaced with the miniSD cards.
-MMCmicro Cards are very similar to microSD in size and appearance but they are not interchangeable, these cards can be found in cellphones primarily, but as of now the microSD format has overtaken it in popularity.
-miniSD Cards are SD cards but only smaller, here again these are primarily used in digital cameras and cellphones, but can be found in many other types of gadgets like MP3 players. miniSD cards are often confused with microSD cards by consumers who just aren't paying attention to what their specific device needs, so when purchasing make sure you are getting the correct card for your device.
-microSD Cards have almost become the standard for cellphones today, these can be found being utilized in almost every major brand of cellphone to allow consumers to add more storage capacity to carry more 'stuff' with them. Since many newer cameras today come with high resolution cameras that not only take stills but can take videos, the need to expand upon the built in memory has increased.
The introduction of the microSDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) card has come about to solve these capacity problems, but not all devices are compatible with these newer SDHC cards, so again you'll need to make sure your device can support this newer format before making a purchase. Another note about microSD cards is that they too come in different types or Classes of cards; as of now they are categorized by three classes, 2,4 and 6. The number corresponds to the speed of the card itself, 2MB/s, 4MB/s or 6MB/s, and not all Classes are compatible with all devices, so even if your device can use a microSD card that doesn't mean it can use all three Classes of cards, you'll need to make sure what Class of card is compatible with your device before your purchase.
xD-Picture Card:
xD cards are a proprietary memory card standard introduced by Fujifilm and Olympus in 2002 and is basically just for those brands of digital cameras and voice recorders. There are three types of XD cards, standard, Type H and Type M, newer cameras can use all three types of cards, but older cameras and devices cannot, you'll need to check compatibility to make sure what works with your specific device. The main difference between the types of cards is speed, Type H is the fastest of the three formats and of course the most desirable for it's speed and capabilities.
Memory Stick:
Memory Sticks are another proprietary memory card and can usually be found in and compatible with Sony branded devices. There are five types of Memory Sticks varying is sizes and uses: Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo, and Memory Stick Micro M2. If you own a Sony product chances are you'll have to buy one of these styles of memory cards for it as no other will fit. The major differences between the styles of cards is the rated speeds and capacity and of course compatibilities with Sony devices.
Other Cards:
There are other types of cards out there besides those I've listed, but for the most part they've gone by the wayside and most are no longer even in production, as with all technology smaller, larger capacity and higher speeds dominates the industry. Depending on your device, you may need one of these older style cards, but chances are you'll have a tough time finding a card for it.
SmartMedia cards are one such type of card, chances are if you own an older Fuji or Olympus brand camera it uses one of these cards, as of about 2002 these stopped production altogether.
Basic things you should know about Memory Cards:
Erase/Write Cycles and Lifetime of cards:
All memory cards are rated for a finite number of times that they can be written to, and usually this is something that is found in the 'fine print' and not as well publicized as the cards other traits like capacity and speed, this basically means that you can record data to them only a certain number of times before it fails and basically won't work anymore.
Rated Speed:
Speed rating on cards can be very confusing, I've got a card that says 144X on it, what exactly does that mean to the average person you might ask? Most cards come with a speed rating on them, what most people don't know is that the advertised rated speed you see is for peak speed, not the average speed of the card. Most people think that seeing a higher number or higher speed is the better choice, but that's not always true, take CF cards for instance, they normally come in speed rating of 40x, 80x and 144x, unless you have a super high end camera you have no need for a 144X speed card. The average consumer camera works perfectly fine with a 40X card, there's no real reason to pay a premium for a faster card that your camera won't utilize. Always check the specs of your device, if your device is rated only at 40X transfer speed then even if you buy an 80X card it will only transfer at 40X speeds.
A note about counterfeiting:
When purchasing any type of memory card please only buy from a reputable source, there are many counterfeit memory cards on the market today that look exactly like their official counterparts, but they are sub-standardly manufactured, slower, low-quality and most likely just plain junk. You might think you're getting a great deal on a good card, but the old adage of 'if it's too good to be true then it probably is' stands true here, be suspicious of these great deals please.

Does anybody know exactly what kind of running lights were used on WWII u-boats?
I have several 72 scale type VIIc's and the new 35th scale XXIII. I've decided since I can't afford to take them RC I may as well build them static. Might be nice to light them correctly. I wonder. did they have any lights in the conning tower for watch officer's to read their instruments?

Think Sandy was just a 100-year storm that devastated New York City? Imagine one just as bad, or worse, every three years.
Prominent planners and builders say now is the time to think big to shield the city's core: a 5-mile barrier blocking the entryway to New York Harbor, an archipelago of man-made islets guarding the tip of Manhattan, or something like CDM Smith engineer Larry Murphy's 1,700-foot barrier — complete with locks for passing boats and a walkway for pedestrians — at the mouth of the Arthur Kill waterway between the borough of Staten Island and New Jersey.
Act now, before the next deluge, and they say it could even save money in the long run.
These strategies aren't just pipe dreams. Not only do these technologies already exist, some of the concepts have been around for decades and have been deployed successfully in other countries and U.S. cities.
So if the science and engineering are sound, the long-term cost would actually be a savings, and the frequency and severity of more killer floods is inevitable, what's the holdup?
Political will.
Like the argument in towns across America when citizens want a traffic signal installed at a dangerous intersection, Sandy's 43 deaths and estimated $26 billion in damages citywide might not be enough to galvanize the public and the politicians into action.
"Unfortunately, they probably won't do anything until something bad happens," said CDM Smith's Murphy. "And I don't know if this will be considered bad enough."
Sandy and her 14-foot surge not bad enough? By century's end, researchers forecast up to four feet higher seas, producing storm flooding akin to Sandy's as often as several times each decade. Even at current sea levels, Sandy's floodwaters filled subways, other tunnels and streets in parts of Manhattan.
Without other measures, rebuilding will simply augment the future destruction. Yet that's what political leaders are emphasizing. President Barack Obama himself has promised to stand with the city "until the rebuilding is complete."
So it might take a worse superstorm or two to really get the problem fixed.
The focus on rebuilding irks people like Robert Trentlyon, a retired weekly newspaper publisher in lower Manhattan who is campaigning for sea barriers to protect the city: "The public is at the woe-is-me stage, rather than how-do-we-prevent-this-in-the-future stage."
He belongs to a coterie of professionals and ordinary New Yorkers who want to take stronger action. Though pushing for a regional plan, they are especially intent on keeping Manhattan dry.
The 13-mile-long island serves as the country's financial and entertainment nerve center. Within a 3-mile-long horseshoe-shaped flood zone around its southernmost quadrant are almost 500,000 residents and 300,000 jobs. Major storms swamp places like Wall Street and the site of the World Trade Center.
Proven technology already exists to blunt or virtually block wind-whipped seas from overtaking lower Manhattan and much of the rest of New York City, according to a series of Associated Press interviews with engineers, architects and scientists and a review of research on flooding issues in the New York metropolitan area and around the globe.
These strategies range from hard structures like mammoth barriers equipped with ship gates and embedded at entrances to the harbor, to softer and greener shoreline restraints like man-made marshes and barrier islands.
Additional landfill, the old standby once used to extend Manhattan into the harbor, could further lift vulnerable highways and other sites beyond the reach of the seas.

Pediatric Kidney Expert Receives Young Investigator Award
June 8, 2012 — Rebecca Ruebner, MD, who cares for patients with kidney disorders at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, received a Young Investigator Award of the American Transplant Congress (ATC) at its national meeting this week in Boston.
Award recognizes research on end-stage kidney disease after pediatric liver transplantation
Dr. Ruebner, a fellow in the Division of Nephrology at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, received the award in recognition of research she presented June 5 at the ATC, entitled, "Risk Factors for End-Stage Kidney Disease after Pediatric Liver Transplantation."
In this study, a retrospective analysis of outcomes after all pediatric liver transplantations performed in the U.S. from 1990 through 2010, Dr. Ruebner found that end-stage kidney disease was relatively uncommon in these children, occurring in 167, or 2 percent, of the 8,976 patients who received liver transplants.
Children have lower rate of end-stage kidney disease after liver transplant but a higher mortality rate — close monitoring needed
"This rate of end-stage kidney disease in children is considerably lower than that found in adults who received liver transplantation," said Dr. Ruebner, "but children who do develop end-stage kidney disease have a high mortality rate." She added that in all patients who receive liver transplants, the immunosuppressive drugs they must take to prevent their bodies from rejecting the donor liver carry a risk of kidney damage.
Dr. Ruebner said the study reinforces the importance of closely following children for the first signs of kidney disease after they receive a liver transplant. The Nephrology program at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has consistently ranked in the top four pediatric programs in the nation by U.S.News & World Report' survey of Best Children's Hospitals.

After more than twenty years of running Barefoot Contessa, the acclaimed specialty food store, Ina Garten published her first collection of recipes. The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook was an overnight sensation, but it's the kind of success that can only be grounded in years of experience. In it, Ina shared her ideas for familiar food but with outstanding flavor and -- most important of all -- recipes that really work.
Now, with Barefoot Contessa Parties! Ina shares secrets she has gleaned from her years not only as a caterer but as a dedicated party giver. The keyword here is fun. Ina's parties are easy to prepare and fun for everyone, including the host. Forget those boring Saturday-night dinners that just won't end. With Ina's advice, you're certain to have all your friends saying, "Wasn't that fun!"
Ina has packed Barefoot Contessa Parties! with plans for pulling off parties like a pro, stories about her own parties, and tips on assembling food (rather than cooking everything) and organizing like a caterer. In the spring you can invite your friends to a party where they all make their own pizzas. Come summer, it's into the garden for a lunch with grilled lamb and pita sandwiches that guests assemble themselves. In the autumn, when it's not Thanksgiving, Ina roasts a fresh turkey, which her friends enjoy with popovers and a creamy spinach gratin. And on a snowy winter's day, everyone is invited for a lunch buffet with seafood chowder and butternut squash and apple soup.
Ever since Ina published her first book, people write, e-mail, and stop her on the street to say how much they love the food. She's reached new heights here with recipes like sour cream coffee cake--the ultimate breakfast treat. Salads? The red lettuce, balsamic onions, and blue cheese; Chinese chicken salad; and panzanella may be the best you've ever tasted. Filet of beef is easy to make for a fancy dinner with oh-so-good gorgonzola sauce, or sliced into sandwiches and served with lobster rolls for a Superbowl party. And fans of The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook will be delighted to find the recipe for the Lemon Cake they drooled over but only saw pictured, right here in this book.
With so many great ideas and recipes in these pages for you to use, your friends will start to wonder why your parties are always so much fun.
INA GARTEN is the author of the bestselling The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook and of the popular monthly column "Entertaining Is Fun" in Martha Stewart Living magazine. For more than twenty years, her Barefoot Contessa specialty food shop has been celebrated for its style as well as its delicious food. Ina lives in East Hampton, New York, and Southport, Connecticut, with her husband, Jeffrey.
This is a really fantastic book. I love Ina's style. Her recipes are easy to follow and assemble. Each recipe has a full-color photo, which is also a plus. Love it!
Another great addition to my cook book library, as always there are great ideas to help me with my dinner parties!
This is the cookbook that makes my barefoot series complete. Everything I've cooked from Ina's series has been a winner!
This book is great, and I was purchasing this as a gift for my sister. It was easy to purchase and send straight to her.I love Ina's recipes - they are easy and wonderful
I bought this as a gift for my mom, and she LOVES it. I have tasted many of the dishes she has made from The Barefoot Contessa Parties, and they are really delicious. Definately a crowd pleaser.
This book was more than I expected it to be. It provided me with great entertaining ideas as well as everyday meals. I would recommend this book to all.

This is my most anticipated act of the entire festival.
Everyone should really consider making The Weeknd a huge priority on Sunday. It will be monumental!
Is he big enough for outdoor stage? Or definitely gobi act
This is my third most anticipated act of the weekend, under Radiohead and Pulp. Meaning that he is top priority on Sunday.
It is mandatory that he plays during the night
Yeah, I'm looking forward to this most on sunday as well. Pretty weak day.
He'll certainly play at night, but I doubt he'll close a stage. Wherever he plays it's going to be packed.
This is certainly going to be something special
Probably one of the top 3 acts I really want to see that weekend.
No. It's R&B with space noises.
Anyone have any idea what time slot and stage you think he'll play at?
Probably around 2 in the Gobi.
I...dont get this? It sounds so poppy. Im getting an R Kelley vibe.
Flight Facilities 02/25 @ Fonda
I really don't get the Weeknd hype
5/1 Sleater-Kinney @ The Palladium
5/8 Stephin Merritt @ The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever Cemetary
5/30 Neutral Milk Hotel @ Pappy & Harriets
6/4 The Mountain Goats @ Pappy & Harriets

He'll have 25% more live experience for the W2 performance than W1.
Probably the set I'm looking forward to most.
"The Morning" is my favorite song of the year. It just makes me want to grind so bad. Such sexy music. The 808 drum machine just plain makes the sexiest beats in the world. There will be so many girls there

You use them for skiing and snowshoeing, why not use them while hiking, backpacking and mountaineering?

Today's trekking poles are designed to free your legs from having to do all of the work.

A great side dish for stir fries and Asian inspired dishes. I love to make my fried rice Thai style which uses fish sauce, but if you don't have this you could leave it out and increase the soy sauce. This is a perfect compliment to Asian Turkey Meatballs. Double the recipe for more people.

It is weird, considering closed drivers have a huge shared codebase between sytems, that "beta drivers" are still needed in order to play games. I'm toying with Serious Sam 3, and even with "old" drivers (296 series under windows, 304 under Ubuntu 12.04, both stable), game is still playing good, considering I'm using the publicbeta channel, and seeing there are several fixes on the game side, not drivers. Can I assume that it's the same for other games ?
Considering the package format flamewar, deb, rpm, tgz, whatever it is, and how bad it can be configured, Valve is trying to do the same thing as on windows : be independant of the "admin rights" security, like on windows, and like Chrome (installing in Appdata instead of standard place just to be sure of permanent write permission : it's like installing in /home/user directory, not standard way). It may be the worse thing apart from being a closed software. Package dependancy handling has already been a problem for years between distros, I'm not expecting it to be solved magically just because Steam is coming.

Has to be Shadow Weaver followed by Snake Men 2-pack.
Now lets continue the first timers with like Eldor, Darius, Dactys, Calix, Scorpia, and Evilseed please
MOTUC NA Most Wanted: Darius, Kayo, Vizar, Hoove, Lizorr
Trade my Red Stone He-Ro Staff for a Green one
Cy-Chop, followed by Draego Man, and Fearless Photog.
I know Granamyr looks cool, and I don't have him yet....not even a notice....but I have to go with Draego....
I buy what I like, if I don't like it, it stays right where it belongs....far away from my collection....and I own or will own with Granny, only 8 off that list....
Shadow Weaver, Draego, CGm, Randor, Granamyr, Sorceress, Horde Prime & SMAA. I would like to get Griffin....
I would only own Starla if the Star Sisters were individual figures....the rest of the figures from the list I didn't mention, to me....are just bad or unimpressive....
Last edited by shadowfall1976; December 21, 2012 at 05:27am.
Recent.... Lizard Man
Wanted.... NA She-Ra, Jitsu....
Needed.... Dragstor
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
Check here for my My collection page, MOTU and more!
I'm going to say Draego Man...
"Wheresoever on earth he dwells, man is prey to two weaknesses: the need to pray and the need to love."-Marquis de Sade
"It is not by reasoning or by our understanding that we have received our religion; it is by external authority and command."-Michel De Montaigne
Heretical Vintage Purist and Non-Fan Extraordinaire!
1. Dekker
The Master of Arms must truly be a samurai/pirate/jedi being his "surprise" factor wins him all the awards from me. That and he's the element that rounds out the main crew of Masters that I didn't know I always needed.
2. 200X Duncan (SMAA)
Great update to the main co-protagonist of the series. I love the "new" armor, and the great colors. But if we never got him, we'd still have regular MAA...
3. Castle Grayskullman
The brand newest concept, the only reason he doesn't take 1st place is he's a very special occasion/circumstance kind of character.
Eternos Palace King Randor for me. I have waited many years to get this version of the King.
I have to say Eternos Palace King Randor as well, I've always wanted this version and now the royal family is complete.
Shadow Weaver because i wanted for so long, but Draego-Man is awesome.
Quote the Raven, Nevermore.
It can't rain all the time.
"Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another."
Hard list of characters to choose just one! I'll say Granamyr for me.
Most Wanted MOTU Classics:
*MotU ~ Multi-Bot/Tung Lashor *PoP ~ Angella/Mermista *200X ~ Roboto/Calix *Filmation ~ Teela Na/Lord Masque
*Play-Sets ~ Snake Mountain/Fright Zone *Vehicles ~ Roton/Land Shark *Beasts ~ Night Stalker/Stridor
Shadow Weaver....been waiting for 30 yrs on this one. Granamyr would be second. The rest were unnecessary to make.
was hard now i got her but i have to remember shadow weaver was my most wanted unlikely toy. so her.
but tallstar was right up there along with photog cy chop sir lazerlot ad horde prime not to mention vykron
basically im always excited by firsts
Definitely Draego-Man. Could've easily gone with Griffin, though.
Support Green Mini-Comic Trap Jaw in MOTUC!
Land Shark in MOTUC!!!!!! Do it Mattel!!! Do it NOW!!!!
Support The Power & Honor Foundation
so many in 2012.
I long awaited the snake men army builder since I was a kid. the griffin was amazing. the 30th figures were good to have in the line as something completely new. I absolutely love Photog! Horde Prime was a nice surprise. Procrustus & Granamyr are a nice addition & a dream come true. what an amazing year. Vycrom, Star Sisters & SM@A too.
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, Evil Seed, Lord Masque, Prahvus, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Horde Wraiths, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, Melaktha, ABC Giants, Stridor
It is weird because I never had any strong love for Starla as a prototype vintage toy or even her prototype MOTUC figure when it was revealed in 2011. However, she's kind of a sleeper hit for me. Maybe becaue her colors catch my eye more than the others, I dunno.
Procrustus was my #2.
Ask not for whom MOTUC is made, it's made for thee.
If you have to disclaimer your like, then you don't really like it.
Nothing could beat Shadow Weaver. She has been long over due.
"Don't crowd me boys!"
I chose Eternos Palace King Randor!
I looked from a perspective of what I always wanted for many years so any new creations would not fit in that perspective.
A true King Randor without the Battle Armor is what I wanted for a long time!
Shadow Weaver would be my 2nd just because I didn't know about PoP earlier otherwise she would definably be the #1 favorite!
MY MOTUC WANTS: (Rotar), Songster "Kevin Corrigan", Kittrina, Illumina, (Peekablue), (Perfuma), Master Sebrian, Sagitar, Tuskador, Darius, Kayo, Vizar, Nocturna, Spinwit, Artilla, (Saurod), (Twistoid), KARG, Evil Seed 200X, Lord Masque, Hunga the Harpy, Lodar, Mask of Power Demons, (Dragstor), Vultak, Calix, Lizorr, Hoove, Critta, Quakke, Butthead, Staghorn
=> MOTU-Classics-Checklist <=
Granamyr might be one of my favorite figure in the line at all. I've been actually excited about getting this guy since they took the poll at SDCC a year ago, and waited like a little kid for him to come in the mail. Great, great figure.
After just getting Granamyr, now I have to say He is awesome, but since I can't put his tail on for display reasons (he sits too far out with it to sit anywhere but the floor) I still say Draego Man, but Granamyr is second, and I am going to get Griffin this month, since they miraculously have stock after the big sales of 2012 are over....so likely I will change my mind on something, because Griffin looks awesome in pics and reviews.
Draego beats Granamyr simply because of all that detail in a small package, for a 7" figure that dude is well sculpted and just powerful looking. Granamyr is a awesomely huge piece of plastic that is nicely done and well sculpted, the box is cool and everything.
My favorite 2012 figures (in no order) Draego-Man, Granamyr, Rattlor, Mekaneck, Frosta, SMAA (only because of the Duncan mustached head), DB Skeletor & likely Griffin once I get him.
Of second favorite mention....TP He-Man, Horde Prime, EP Randor, Stinkor (smells too bad to keep uncarded) & TOD Sorceress (she just looks better proportioned than the original with the taller boots and articulated thighs).

For me, it's gotta be Spector! Love this concept, love the sculpt!
Of course, he'll be even better when I'm done customizing him!
Shadow Weaver, just. I do love Starla.
Most-wanted MOTUC: Granita - Hunga the Harpy - The Melog - Melaktha - Vultak - Dylamug - Crita - Sprag, Sprocker and Spritina - the Twiggets King Ahgo
Castle Grayskullman.
Procrustus. Toy of the year. Imagine how awesome it would have been for us as kids if he'd been released at the same time as the minicomic, towering over our five-inch figures. Drago-Man was also surprisingly great.
Fearless Photog! I love this guy and to finally have Mattel make good on their long-ago promise was a high point in the MOTUC line for me. This was another great year though, and every item brought a smile to my face!
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
has to be Shadow Weaver, waited a long time for her

Kosher Soups
Roasted Corn Chowder |
KosherEye.comAdapted from Soup A Kosher Collection by Pamela Reiss Roasting the corn brings out its natural sugars. If fresh corn is not available, thaw and sauté some frozen corn until it has some color on it. Ingredients: 8 cobs of fresh corn (1 lb.) Directions: Preheat oven to 450°. Shuck 8 cobs of corn. Make sure to remove all of the silk and wash well. Place the corn on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with vegetable spray and roast for approximately 20 minutes. Turn the corn every eight minutes. The corn will be ready when it has started to brown slightly on all sides. Set the corn aside and cool. Using a sharp knife (we used the Kuhn Rikon Corn Zipper), carefully cut the kernels off the cob and set aside. Note: Yield: 10 Servings |

Road to Rio: Putting resilience at the heart of development | Helen Clark
16 Apr 2012
The threats to our world and to development are real and imminent. Nearly forty per cent of the global landmass is already degraded due to soil erosion, reduced fertility, and overgrazing.
With a projected increase of the world's population to almost nine billion by 2020, this stress will undoubtedly surge. Our political, social, economic, and technological tools and our policies need to step up urgently to address these challenges, and building resilience must be at the very heart of this effort.
For UNDP, achieving resilience is a transformative process which builds on the innate strength of individuals, their communities, and institutions to prevent, lessen the impacts of, and learn from the experience of shocks of any type, internal or external, natural or man-made; economic, health-related, political, or social.
The question is: how can we support countries in becoming more resilient towards these kinds of shocks?
Building resilience benefits from governance which is active, effective, honest, fair, and responsive and representative. When state institutions fail to guarantee access to justice and a functioning public service, and cannot provide an enabling environment in which people can flourish, communities become more vulnerable to the criminal or other violent entities which will fill any void.
The first priority for building resilience must be prevention, complemented by explicit efforts to reduce societal vulnerabilities and a commitment to maintain the integrity of communities, institutions, and ecosystems.
Resilience-based sustainable development also calls for developing the capacity of the poor to overcome their conditions.
In addition to that, national and local institutions must have high levels of preparedness as they face crises. Building resilience must be comprehensive across all sectors, communities, and institutions.
Pursuing a resilience-based approach to sustainable development will mean significant changes to current global development paradigms. The power to design pathways to development needs to shift downwards to those who know the context intimately and those who are facing and confronting it – the communities themselves.
Resilience also cannot be built overnight. It takes time. But it is our best chance of locking in progress made to date, and advancing equitable and sustainable human development.
