Overview: Global enterprises are rapidly adopting cloud infrastructure and SaaS applications broadly, and the Internet is now a part of their business critical infrastructure. With combined public and private resources, the network itself needs to go hybrid, combining the strengths of the highly reliable MPLS with the ubiquity, price, and speed of the Internet. The hybrid networking model from Riverbed Technology enables organizations to adopt hybrid networks to maximize the performance of applications, increase network availability, and reduce costs while retaining IT control and minimizing complexity. This paper explains how Riverbed path selection technology is a superior approach for designing hybrid networks.

The most common reference to ideal emotion is the "unconditional love" attributed to the beloved pet dog, who remains devoted to his or her guardian through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, and even after death, as legends attest. A psychiatrist specializing in marriage and divorce suggests that even if the practice of unconditional love by humans seems unattainable, the pet love received and given provides pragmatic lessons to help sustain and heal relationships between humans.
While nonhuman animal emotions are labeled as "pure," human emotions include mixed feelings and struggles with conditions imposed on relationships. Writing for Psych Central, Suzanne B. Phillips, Psy.D., ABPP licensed psychologist, adjunct professor of clinical psychology at Long Island University and faculty member at the Derner Institute of Adelphi University, observes that couples may vehemently disagree on most topics, but usually both soften to agree that the dog, cat, bird or horse is great. "In fact, if there is any criticism, it is the verbalized wish to receive the kind of love and attention the pet is getting such as 'I only wish she was as affectionate with me as with our dog!' or 'You should hear him speak to this animal - he never speaks to me that way' and the reply 'The dog demands nothing from me - he just gives unconditional love.' or 'The cats are a predictable source of comfort and soothing - they want to be near me.'"
Phillips points out that in fact pets do make demands on their owners, whether it's undesired behavior or fussy eating habits. The pets receive human love that overlooks those shortcomings in the pet-guardian relationship. She poses the question, can we learn something from our relationship with pets that might enhance our relationship with partners? She answers that pets can teach us about long-lasting love if we are willing to take a closer look at ourselves and consider "you get what you give." Giving something positive invites unconditional pet love and works for human love, too. Phillips suggests observing the "pure," in-the-moment emotions of a pet and applying them to a human relationship: the positive greeting after absence, the lack of defensive expectation of what your partner might feel, not holding grudges for bad behavior, taking a forgiveness attitude that assumes the best, acceptance of who the love object is, and adapting positively to "for better or for worse."
Licensed clinical social worker Susan Pease Gadoua, who writes about marriage and divorce for Psychology Today, lost her dog suddenly and wrote about her feelings. She received comments from readers, some feeling in their own lives that they had a harder time dealing with the death of a pet than when a human partner moved out. Pease asks "How is it that we can have a much stronger connection with an animal? A being with whom we can't converse or share our worries with?" Her conclusion is: "Because we receive unconditional love from our dogs, cats, birds and bunnies, we feel unconditional love for them. When we allow something to love us and dedicate their lives to us, it brings out the faithful and open-hearted parts of us. We bond around our mutual love - even when nothing can be spoken (perhaps because nothing can be spoken!)"
In another article, Phillips suggests that a pet can be "the emotional third in your relationship," much like a therapist, creating opportunities to heal after an argument, offering solace to a fearful partner after a scary life change, performing antics leading to mutual laughter, defusing a tense situation into a moment of sharing, and creating shared activity, such as an evening walk with the dog, to bring a couple closer. She has seen how a pet's need can take priority over individual needs and provide a valuable third choice. More, observing how one's partner interacts or treats a pet as a relationship forms and then during the routine of living together can open up a new perspective, endearing him or her in a brand new way.
Every day they share our lives, our faithful pet valentines provide for us in many ways.

Freezer was not freezing Robert D. • Mount Pleasant, MI • July 06, 2014 My Repair & Advice I ordered the run capacitor, based on AppliancePartPro's 5 most common problems listing this part as the probable cause. Being just before the July 4th holiday, I couldn't get a repair person out for 1.5 weeks. If this didn't fix it, I was going to have to go out and buy a new freezer just to save all the food. This saved my couple year old 24.9CuFt freezer from ending up in a landfill. I am going to order another one just to have on-hand so the next time isn't an emergency. This makes my 5th major appliance I have diagnosed and repaired using he resources on appliancepartspros.com and will come back to them the next time for sure! Was this review helpful to you?

Order was shipped same day, arrived and everything works just fine. Second purchase from this company and everything has been perfect, fast and accurate. Best prices out there too!

Within the next two months most of our internships will reach the halfway mark. When six months of internship are completed, the Lay Committee is invited to join with the supervisor and the intern in completing an evaluation. Planning for that evaluation might well begin in January.
First of all, look up the evaluation questions here, on our website.
This will give you an overview of the task ahead. Review the questions together as a committee. If there are topics no one on the committee has knowledge of, make a plan to talk to the appropriate people. (For example: if no one on the committee has young children, you might want to solicit the opinions of some parents and some young people on the intern's ability to teach children and youth.)
Next, plan for how you will complete the evaluation. Some committees talk through all of the questions, then ask the chairperson to write up a summary of what has been said which is then shared with the whole committee before it is submitted. Other committees ask each committee member to fill out the evaluation form individually, and then bring in a hard copy, with the chairperson or some other individual serving as editor to make up the final committee report.
Finally, plan for how the evaluation will be shared with the intern. Sometimes the chairperson will do this individually; at other times it will be done at a meeting of the committee.
However you do it, remember that the evaluation is a tool to help the intern grow. This is a supportive process as we develop leaders for the church. However it is done, the process should include open communication and a lot of good conversation between the committee and the intern.

The Northwest provides a special set of challenges for athletes and spectators alike. From its retractable roof to its ground rules, learn everything you ever wanted to know about Safeco Field and how to catch a game here.
An investment in the Safeco Field naming rights was made by Safeco, a Seattle-based insurance and investments company. Founded in 1923, Safeco shares a commitment with the Mariners to invest in and provide service to the communities where our customers, fans and employees live, work and raise their families. Safeco has been a major sponsor of Mariners community relations projects including the annual Safeco Mariners Caravans and the Safeco Coaches Clinics. Since 1994, these two programs have taken Mariners baseball to the hometowns of Mariners fans of all ages and provided free baseball skills clinics to tens of thousands of young people. The Mariners are very proud of our partnership with Safeco.
The ballpark's one-of-a-kind retractable roof is designed to cover but not enclose the ballpark, thus preserving an open-air environment. The structure covers nearly 9 acres, weighs 22 million pounds, and contains enough steel to build a skyscraper 55 stories tall. The three movable panels glide on 128 steel wheels powered by 96 ten horsepower electric motors. A push of a button closes or opens the roof in an average of 10-20 minutes (depending on wind and other weather conditions). The roof is self-grounded (in the event of lightning strikes) and is designed to withstand 6-7 ft. of snow and sustained winds of up to 70 mph.
Ball Hitting Roof Trusses
A batted ball hitting a roof truss in fair territory shall be judged fair or foul in relation to where it lands or is touched by a fielder. If caught by a fielder, the batter is out and base runners advance at their own risk.
A batted ball hitting a roof truss in foul territory is a foul ball, regardless of where it lands or is touched by a fielder. If caught by a fielder, the batter is out and the base runners advance at their own risk.
Movement of Roof
If a game is started with the roof closed, it may be opened when, in the opinion of the home club, climactic conditions warrant such opening. However, roof may be opened only once during a game and shall commence only between innings after the umpire crew chief has been notified. Prior to opening of roof, the visiting club may challenge the opening if it feels a competitive imbalance will arise. The crew chief will make a final decision based on the merits of the challenge.
If a game is started with the roof open, it may be closed during the game. The decision to close the roof shall be made by the home club, and may be made solely for the comfort of its fans. Play will continue during roof closure if possible. However, the umpires have the right to stop play during this process if they determine it is necessary to do so.
These policies may be modified from time to time as more experience is gained with the roof and its impact on play.
Safeco Field features one of the most comprehensive scoreboard systems in Major League Baseball, including 11 electronic displays and an old-fashioned hand-operated scoreboard in left field. A new high definition video display system was installed for the 2013 season, replacing the main scoreboard in centerfield. Measuring 56.7 'x 201.5' (11,425 square feet), the new HD LED screen is the largest in Major League Baseball and one of the largest in professional sports. The out-of-town scoreboard in left field displays current inning scores of games in progress from around the Major Leagues. Two, first-of-their-kind play-by-play boards along the first and third base lines display running summaries of plays to help fans follow the action. Four auxiliary boards display player at-bat information, pitch speed and type, and additional game-in-progress information.
Safeco Field's playing surface is a custom designed state-of-the-art field. It features a specially designed drainage system and a custom blend of four kinds of Kentucky bluegrass and two kinds of perennial rye grass to provide the optimal playing surface for the athletes, the retractable roof, and the Northwest climate. The drainage system includes layers of drainage pipe, pea gravel, sand, and grass. A spider web of one-inch plastic hose circulates hot water under the grass to bring it out of dormancy in time for Opening Day, and also compensate for shade and low levels of direct sunlight.
Outfield Area
The hand-operated scoreboard in left field is part of the left field fence. A ball must clear the scoreboard (defined by yellow horizontal line) to be a home run. If a batted ball hits the cyclone fence under the scoreboard and above the padded wall, and the ball lodges behind the padded wall, it shall be ruled a ground-rule double whether it lodges behind the wall on the fly or on a bounce.
The ladder and the handle attached to and to the right of the scoreboard are beyond the padded wall. A fly ball striking either the ladder or handle shall be ruled a home run.
A ball must enter the dugout to be considered a dead ball.
Photographer's Areas
The ball is "in play" if it hits any of the railings defining the photographer wells and bounces back onto the playing field. The vertical rails in the middle of the wells are considered in the wells and are out of play.

This is a great item. The first one I received free in my order from Jeffers and is always displayed in my front window. It is bright, but needs to be a bit larger to be the attention getter it needs to be.

Game: | Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories |
For: | Toshiko Kasen |
Location: | Torrington, Staunton Island, Liberty City |
Target: | Kazuki Kasen |
Reward(s): | |
$4,000 | |
Unlocks: | Bringing the House Down |
Unlocked by: | A Date with Death |
- "My men dishonor me... but it is fitting that I kill you myself. You two! Leave us! I am going to enjoy thrusting my sword into you."
- — Kasuki Kasen.
Cash in Kazuki's Chips is the final mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories given to protagonist Toni Cipriani by Toshiko Kasen, the wife of Yakuza leader Kazuki Kasen, from her apartment in Torrington, Staunton Island, Liberty City.
Toshiko informs Toni that now Kazuki knows of their actions, he is coming to kill both of them. Toni decides to kill Kazuki before he arrives and goes to a compound in Belleville Park, where is ambushed by Yakuza gang members coming from the compound and from Yakuza Stingers. Toni manages to escape, killing them all, but Kazuki escapes in a helicopter, flying to his casino in Torrington. Toni follows him and kills the Yakuza men guarding the casino. On the roof of the casino, Kazuki challenges Toni to a sword fight, which Toni wins. Toni returns to Toshiko's apartment, where a distraught Toshiko realizes what she has done. Wanting to be truly free she kills herself, by falling out of her apartment window, landing on a car below.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Head over to Kazuki's place and kill him
- Kill Kazuki's Guards
- Kazuki's chopper is heading for the Casino
- Look out - here come more Yakuza
- Kill Kazuki
- Go to Toshiko's apartmant
The reward for completing the mission is $4,000 and, if the player has also completed No Money, Mo' Problems, the mission Bringing the House Down is unlocked.
- Kazuki Kasen - Killed by Toni on Toshiko's order for neglating her.
- Toshiko Kasen - Kills herself after learning of her husband's death and to be free.
Unlike The Da Nang Thang, it is impossible to "cheat" at the swordfight; the helicopter parked on the roof is invulnerable to prevent it being destroyed with a rocket fired from the adjoining roof, there are two men with assault rifles who will gun the player down if they use any weapon but the katana, and Kazuki himself is bulletproof.
The compound in Belleville Park remains owned by the Yakuza by 2001, where it is given over to Claude to be his safehouse in the events of Grand Theft Auto III.

I never used to go anywhere without my cell phone. It was not only a means of communication, but my sole timepiece, and not knowing the time made me crazy.
That all changed one afternoon when my oldest son was two years old. After four years of living in the Southwest and its two seasons of hot and hotter, we moved to the upper Midwest. I couldn't wait to experience the change in seasons, so one crisp October day I packed up my son and a picnic lunch and headed to a nearby state park to see some fall colors.
When we arrived, I unfastened the buckles of his car seat, retrieved our lunch, and instinctively reached for my cell phone. Then I paused.
It was one of those rare days when I had no other obligations or deadlines. My husband was on a business trip, so there was no one waiting for us to come home. I asked myself, 'What if I just don't worry about time today?'
I returned my cell phone to its resting place among the loose coins in front of the gear shift and turned my full attention to enjoying the afternoon with my son.
After our picnic lunch, we wandered over to a pile of fallen leaves. My son splashed through them up to his thighs, tossed them in the air, and giggled as I buried him over and over. "Wow!" he gushed appreciatively as gusts of wind rearranged the pile and made little leaf cyclones.
While he was enthralled, I felt myself growing bored and impatient. I wanted to pull out my "five more minutes" ultimatum and move on to something I deemed more interesting; but, without my phone, I would have had no way of knowing when five minutes had passed. Then I reminded myself, 'There is nothing you have to do today except be with your little boy.'
I gave myself over to the freedom of not worrying about what would come next. Right now, nothing mattered except sharing in my son's joy of as he raced through those leaves.
We went for a walk and came to a bridge spanning a river. I let him run back and forth across it as many times as he wanted, a carefree "Whee!" accompanying each crossing. We wandered farther up the path. He peered at the insects hopping through the tall grass, and I was right there with him. The ability to share in his wonder and curiosity came naturally once I quit clinging to a preconceived schedule.
When he tired of walking, we headed back to the car. I welcomed the delay when some flowers caught his attention. We stooped and examined them to his satisfaction before moving on.
I can't tell you whether that afternoon lasted one hour or four, but I do know that we both had the time of our lives. Eckhart Tolle points out that humans existed for millennia without clocks. Our modern obsession with time perplexes me when I remember this. I wish for less attachment to time. I wish for more afternoons when time doesn't matter. I wish for my son's ability to be fully in the present moment.
I have to live by the clock day-to-day to keep appointments, interact with the adults in my life, and meet my children's all-important bedtime deadline each night. Whenever I can, though, I put all my clocks out of sight and out of mind. I let my children take the lead and slip into their world, where nothing matters but the present moment and time is reckoned in hugs and laughs instead of hours and minutes.

It wasn't in a manger, but Bailey, a 3-year-old female black Labrador retriever who was turned away by her owner, gave birth in a shelter on Christmas Eve — and now 12 of Fairfax County's newest residents are seeking loving homes.
"Bailey's owner brought her to an animal shelter in Hughesville, Md., on Dec. 12 and said 'I don't want her anymore, she is pregnant,'" said Stephen Push, public relations director for the Annandale-based Lab Rescue section of the Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac. "Bailey had her puppies in the animal shelter and then they called us to find them all homes."
According to The Humane Society of the United States, 4 million cats and dogs — about one every eight seconds — are put down in U.S. shelters each year. Often these animals are the offspring of cherished family pets. Six-to-eight million pets end up in shelters each year — both surrenders and strays — and half of those generally are never adopted. In addition, 25 percent of pets in shelters are purebreds and most end up homeless through no fault of their own — "moving" and "landlord issues" are frequently listed as the top reasons people give for relinquishing their pets, according to the society.
"We at Lab Rescue generally try to rescue purebred labs," said Push. "The shelter called us because they said the dogs all appeared to be full labs, but we wouldn't have turned them away even if they hadn't been. We have been known to rescue some lab mixes. Strays tend not to come with verifiable papers."
Push said Bailey and her brood took the number of labs his organization rescued in 2012 up over the 1,000 mark. "With the 11 puppies included, it took us to 1,003 for the year," he said.
According to Push, the numbers have been steadily increasing over the last six years.
"In 2011, we rescued 902," he said. "The economy seems to have a lot to do with it, and this year we had a few Hurricane Sandy-related rescues thrown in there as well."
Bailey and her puppies are currently residing in Fairfax at the foster home of Yvonne Young, 59, until they are old enough to be adopted next month.
Young has volunteered with Lab Rescue of the LRCP for the last four years, taking in pregnant labs and new families like Bailey's. Young says her seven grandchildren are thrilled to watch the foster puppies as their eyes begin to open for the very first time, fortunately in a safe environment.
"Bailey is the sweetest thing," Young said. "I tend to identify with the mother dogs, but I also get my puppy fix with all the puppies."
Young said Bailey and her litter will all be available for adoption in about six weeks, right around Valentine's Day.
"In the meantime, we get to watch them take their first steps and the grandkids get to name them so they can be registered with the rescue group," she said.
According to Young, anyone can apply to adopt Bailey or any of her Christmas puppies, but there is a stringent screening process that ensures they will not return through the rescue process.
"They will check your references and make sure you do not leave the puppies alone for more than four hours at a time," she said. "They may even perform some home visits to check up on them. The criteria is pretty tight but it is a wonderful thing to see them going to good homes."
For more information about adopting Bailey, her puppies, or any of the many labs available through Lab Rescue of the LRCP, contact the organization at 301-299-6756, or go to www.lab-rescue.org.

Brown Bag: Faculty Fellows Robert Brunner and Ted Underwood
Room 1040, NCSA Building, 1205 W. Clark St., Urbana
Robert Brunner, Department of Astronomy, and Ted Underwood, Department of English, will describe progress they have achieved so far during their 2012-2013 fellowship collaborations with NCSA. Brunner's project focuses on Collaboratively Exploring the Dark Universe while Underwood is working on An Implementation of Topic Modeling that Addresses Humanists' Interest in Historical Change.
Abstract (Brunner's talk): Large astronomy surveys hold the potential to address fundamental questions about our Universe. But to fully leverage the utility of these data require new approaches. One area where this has become fundamentally clear is source classification, where we must cleanly separate stars from galaxies. In this presentation Brunner will review this classification challenge, discuss some recent work, and highlight how this work is relevant to NCSA.
Title (Underwood's talk): "Learning to recognize literary genre in a collection of documents that are internally heterogenous"?
Abstract (Underwood's talk): The problem of classifying text has received a great deal of attention in the field of machine learning. But classification algorithms are typically tested on collections of relatively short documents — articles, for instance, in newspapers or journals. Historians and literary scholars confront a different problem domain. Documents come to us in volume-sized packages that contain heterogenous parts: for instance, a collection of poems and plays may be prefaced by a prose introduction. Fortunately, segmenting volumes and classifying genres can be viewed as mutually supportive aspects of a single workflow. The models we develop in a first pass at genre classification can be used to divide volumes into segments that are generically distinct along simple axes (e.g. poetry/prose, fiction/nonfiction). Once that division is complete, we can train subtler classification models on the segments and learn to distinguish subgenres (e.g. lyric poetry or the detective story). The whole problem is interestingly complicated because literary texts can belong to more than one genre, and domain experts don't necessarily have an exhaustive list of genres. So at later stages of classification, the process may take on an unsupervised or semi-supervised character. I've completed the first stage of classification (poetry/drama/prose fiction/nonfiction) in a collection of 500,000 volumes; I'll present those models and describe a prototype segmentation algorithm that relies on them.

Tuesday, March 6, 2012 - Miami Gardens, Fla.
Three St. Thomas pitchers shut down the bats of the Wilmington University baseball team on Monday night, as the Wildcats fell 4-0 in the first game of their week long Florida trip, losing for the first time in 2012.
After starting the 2012 campaign with a three-game sweep over Merrimack last weekend, the Wildcats fell to 3-1 on the young season, dropping a contest at NAIA's St. Thomas (19-5) on the Florida teams home field.
Wilmington could only muster two hits on the night, and only five total base runners, while Emilio Ogando threw seven shutout innings with four strikeouts to pick up the win. Ricky Claudio and Dane Stone each pitched an inning of relief to close out the game for the Bobcats.
St. Thomas scored in three consecutive innings, but would only need the one run it picked up in the bottom of the third to secure the victory.
Antonio Sepulveda doubled off Wildcat starter Tim Racek to start the home half of the third. Joel Capote then singled to put runners on first and third with no outs. The Bobcats tried to sneak a run home on a double steal, as the Wildcats got Capote out at third, but Sepulveda came home for the 1-0 lead.
The Bobcats would add two more in the fourth and a single run in the fifth to round out the scoring.
Racek was touched for three runs (two earned) in 3.2 innings pitched in the loss. Rob Gore got his first action of the 2012 season, as he threw 1.1 innings while giving up one run on three hits. Tyler Fries pitched the sixth and seventh innings in scoreless fashion, only allowing one hit and one walk. Frank Samluk also saw his first action of the season, throwing a scoreless eighth inning while striking out one Bobcat.
Jordan Oncay and Adam Soley picked up the hits for the Wildcats, each going 1-for-4 on the evening. Brandon Payne and Kyle Hitchens each worked a walk while Joe Harbach was plunked with a pitch as the only other Wildcats to reach base.
The Wildcats will have a chance to redeem themselves on Wednesday, as they move to the Santaluces Sports Complex in Lantana, Fla., for a doubleheader against Saint Rose. Game one is schedule for a 2 p.m. first pitch.

Design of Light Emitting Diodes (LED)
E. Baur, M. Sabathil, and N. LinderOsram Opto Semiconductors GmbH, Regensburg, Germany
For a proper design shaping of light emitting diodes, the exact knowledge of the current distribution in the active area is essential. On the one hand, one has to achieve a uniform current density over the chip area, on the other hand, one has to avoid current crowding in the neighborhood of the electrical contacts.
In this paper it is shown first how a LED can be modeled by COMSOL Multiphysics. The main problem here is to implement the nonlinear current-voltage characteristic with the use of two different domains. Second, the simulations are compared with experimental results.
The simulated voltage drop over the whole chip can be compared with the measured voltage drop on the top of the LED-contact-grid. Furthermore, the current density is immediately related to the optical power density generated and a comparison has been made between the simulated current density and the density distribution of the optical power across the chip.

Phototherapy uses lightwaves to treat certain skin conditions. The skin is exposed to an ultraviolet (UV) light for a set amount of time. Phototherapy uses a man-made source of UV light. UV light also comes from the sun. When combined with a medication called psoralen, the procedure is known as psoralen UVA (PUVA).
UV light shuts down immune system cells in the skin. It can help in skin conditions that are caused by an overreaction of the immune system. Skin conditions that are treated with phototherapy include:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The UV lights may negatively affect your skin in a number of ways, including:
PUVA treatment may also cause:
If you have received a great number of phototherapy treatments, you may be at risk for:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
You will be asked to remove any clothes that cover the skin being treated. Areas that do not need treatment should be covered and protected as much as possible. Some safety steps include:
Make sure to inform your doctor about any medication that you are currently taking. Some medications, including over-the-counter medication, can increase the risk of side effects.
Types of phototherapy include:
Treatment over a large area may be treated in a treatment unit. You can stand in this unit during treatment. Smaller areas may be treated with smaller units. A laser treatment will use a laser light that is focused on the specific area.
The first treatment is usually very short, even a few seconds. Your phototherapy sessions will vary in length. It will depend on your skin type and the strength of the light chosen by your doctor. Treatments rarely last longer than a few minutes.
Generally, several treatments are required each week. The length of treatment will depend on the type of phototherapy:
Treatments will continue until your skin is clear. Sometimes, occasional maintenance treatments are needed. The maintenance sessions can usually be done in your doctor's office or with a home UV light unit.
You may feel a warm sensation on your skin, similar to a mild sunburn. Your doctor can recommend medication if you have discomfort after treatment.
It is important to avoid natural sunlight when you are receiving UV light treatment:
Your doctor should regularly examine your skin for skin cancer. UV light exposure from sunlight causes skin cancer. Long-term PUVA treatment can also increase the risk of skin cancer. No studies have found a direct link from nbUVB phototherapy to skin cancer.
It is important to monitor your recovery. Alert your doctor to any problems. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

A parathyroidectomy is a surgery to remove parathyroid glands. There are four parathyroid glands located in the neck. The glands make a hormone that balance the level of calcium in the blood.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The surgery is done to remove one or more abnormal parathyroid glands. The glands can be abnormal due to cancer or for other reasons.
A minimally invasive approach is usually done if only one gland needs to be removed. If more than one gland needs to be removed or if the doctor needs to do additional surgery in the neck, a conventional approach may used instead, which involves making larger incisions.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Your doctor will:
You should:
General anesthesia is used most often. It will block any pain and you will stay asleep through the surgery. In some cases, local anesthesia may be used instead. The area will be numb but you will be awake.
There are different types of minimally invasive surgeries that may be used, such as:
A small incision will be made in the neck. A small tube with a tiny camera will be passed through the incision. The images from the camera will be sent to a TV monitors so the doctor can see the glands. Other small tools will be passed through the tube to detach and remove the gland. Once the gland has been removed, the incision will be closed with stitches.
A radioactive substance will be injected into your body. The abnormal gland will absorb the substance but the healthy glands will not. A small incision will be made in the neck and a small probe will be inserted. The probe will detect signals that are given off by the radioactive substance in the abnormal gland. This will help the doctor find the abnormal gland. Other small tools will be passed through the tube to detach and remove the gland. Once the gland has been removed, the incision will be closed with stitches.
With either surgery, if all four glands were removed, a part of one gland may be placed in a different area of the neck or in the forearm.
Between 30 minutes and 1-2 hours (depending on the type of surgery)
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
You may need to stay in the hospital for a day or you may be able to leave the same day. Ask your doctor if this is an option for you. Your doctor may also choose to keep you longer if you have any problems.
After your surgery, the hospital staff will:

This post has been edited by bOnEs: May 23 2008, 08:55 PM -------------------- Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life. As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people: You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life. Or: You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot. You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say. |

Dana Mackenzie's book is a display of modern mathematical developments, which have brought about the solutions of several old and important questions in number theory, topology and the theory of dynamical systems. More recent areas, related to finance and computer science, have also witnessed a lot of attention-grabbing events — some good and some bad. For those with a mathematical background this book makes a fascinating read. |
This is a fascinating book on the application of game theory to situations in philosophy, politics, law, history, literature and even the Bible. The author shows that real insight can be obtained into optimal strategies for dealing with some famous dilemmas. |
Clearly and interestingly written, humorous and varied, requiring only a minimal familiarity with math, The hidden mathematics of sport is a pure pleasure to read. It contains an impressive array of mathematical topics, much broader and more unusual than standard findings about the statistics of sports or the equations governing the motion of projectiles. |
It's quite refreshing to find a book on maths that is so upbeat and infectious as How to build a brain. Certainly the title is a misnomer; one would immediately associate it to artificial intelligence or biology, but in reality this book is about how mathematics finds its way into many aspects of our world. |
In 2006 the Fields Medal — one of the highest honours in mathematics — was awarded to Grigory Perelman for solving the Poincaré conjecture, a famously difficult problem that had stumped mathematicians for a century. To the surprise of many, and the excitement of the media, Perelman declined the award and withdrew not only from mathematics but from the world generally. In Perfect rigour Masha Gessen sheds some light on this brilliant and perplexing character and the reasons why he would renounce both the worldly rewards of his mathematical achievement and also his beloved vocation, mathematics itself. |
Loving and hating mathematics is an intriguing title, but it doesn't tell you what this book is about. More informative is the subtitle: Challenging the myths of mathematical life. The book is a collaboration between a mathematician, Reuben Hersh, and a psychologist in the fields of linguistics and education, Vera John-Steiner. |

Alan Darr Gilmore Collection - Blu-Green With Envy
Written by Chris Shelton on May 13, 2011 Alan Darr's Hi-Test Gilmore CollectionWhat's the difference between a collector and a hoarder? I often wonder as I tour garages. A thread certainly binds the great ones: they're packed with neat stuff. As a whole, car people are wonderful gatherers. It's largely from necessity; owning obsolete things makes us rather opportunistic.
But the line separating collectors and hoarders isn't so clear, at least according to two behavioral scientists who answered-or at least tried to answer-that question on the radio one evening. They'd just recently published a book on the subject, and given the popularity drummed up by reality hoarding shows of late, they found a forum on one of my favored interview programs.
What made that question stand out was the day that preceded that particular evening. Actually that question more than stood out; it gave me the heebie-jeebies. It would have you too were you in my position. I thought someone was messing with me. I looked as calm as possible. Then I glanced furtively for a camera.
No more than 30 minutes prior I'd left Alan Darr's house. Alan collects petrolania, the hardware and marketing material generated by the petroleum industry: globes, pumps, signs, advertisements, and so on. As far as petrolania collections go, his is one of the more sought-after.
But what makes Alan's collection so coveted is not its size as much as its focus: for around 40 years he specifically collected items created by and for the Gilmore Oil Company.
Gilmore, if you didn't know, has a special place in the petrolania world. For 45 years it did more than sell gas, oil, and service; it basically facilitated America's love affair with the automobile. And in doing so, Gilmore produced a seemingly unnatural amount of stuff: packaging, advertising, flyers, cards, pens, matchbooks, license plate toppers, and ashtrays. And that's not to say anything of the pumps, globes, signs, and other things used in the distribution of petroleum products.
And if Gilmore made it, Alan Darr might have one. That's what made the program so compelling: Alan has packed a good part of his house with Gilmore-related items. Every square inch of his two-car garage's perimeter is chockablock with signs, banners, plaques, displays, and so on. As the collection grew, it spilled over to fill all but 6 or so square feet of one of his home's bedrooms. How would these experts judge Alan? I listened, and wondered.
It all started with the Model T
They say that Henry Ford's Model T put the world on wheels. Henry's T certainly put Alan Darr on his path. "I had a '27 roadster pickup and I thought, 'Gee, it would be kind of neat to get an old gas pump,'" he says. "I worked for the fire department. Everyone had to have a little sideline job because you couldn't live on what they paid you at the fire department. I was kind of into old cars ... so I'd just buy parts and advertise them in Hemmings. I'd see a '40 Ford coupe behind some guy's house so I'd ask about buying parts off it. I'd take the money I made from that and go onto something else.
"Along the way I'd find signs and artifacts, and most of that stuff I'd end up keeping. So eventually I was buying and selling parts so I could buy more signs and pumps and so forth. That stuff was starting to get hard to find. People were grabbing it whenever it showed up. I was taking just about whatever I could get my hands on."
A stash practically in his backyard focused his efforts. "I was just on the outskirts of Toledo, Washington, and I see this pump sitting alongside this closed-up auto shop. It had a Gilmore globe on it," he explains. As the story went, the shop was once a Gilmore station that closed when its owner decided to join the Army Corps of Engineers. What made the find especially compelling was its completeness: "Inside his shop it was just like 1943 because he'd just closed the doors and left," Alan reveals. And best of all, newfound retirement in the '70s inspired its owner-the guy who shut the shop decades before-to clean house. "I ended up getting a lot of that stuff," Alan admits. "It took several years but most of everything he had in there I ended up with."
Though inspired to collect more Gilmore, Alan admitted he still bought whatever he could find. "I kept picking up other West Coast items with the possibility that I'd have to trade something to get a Gilmore item," he notes. "It was just a lot of wheeling and dealing; I used to keep a notebook of all the collectors who had Gilmore stuff. A lot of these guys ... had only one or a handful of items. Well, for whatever reason, something would turn up and they'd want to turn part of their collection into money." In one instance a collector wanted to bankroll his granddaughter's wedding. He just happened to have a globe. As Alan instructed, "You gotta get it when you can."
And get it he has, which is why I couldn't keep my mind from drifting as the interview proceeded. I learned a few things as the experts put a finer point on the line that differentiates a collector from a mere hoarder. For one, a common theme ties a collector's stash. That's Alan. A collector also gathers objects of relative worth. Yep, that's also Alan.
It's when they specified that a collector knows exactly what he or she has, knows precisely where to find it, and willingly shows it off that I started sweating. I wring my hands at the prospect that someone may see the disheveled contents of my garage. God forbid someone like Alan stumble upon my divine mess: it's a space bigger than his yet won't accommodate more than one small car due to the randomness that stuck to me over the years.
That's when the gravity of the interview struck me. "Forget Alan," I thought to myself. "They're talking about me," or more specifically, about the way I'm not.
Needless to say, I bought the book. I know it's here ... somewhere.

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.
Will previously-planned downstream investments be cut back in 2015 due to lower global oil prices?
Yes 59%

Customer Reviews Back to Top
Comments: I've had an 8' Blade on my boat for quite some time now - over a year. The only thing I've regretted about the purchase is the fact that I didn't buy two of them! The blade on my boat has seen plenty of use this tournament season, and has held up beautifully. At the time of purchase, I was somewhat on the fence on whether I should go with a Talon or Power-Pole. I have no regrets! It doesn't seem to spook fish - I.e. it is quiet. This has been, hands-down, the best upgrade on my boat! There's a reason you see them on the pro's boats - they flat out work. They are durable in extreme use cases. I'm not proud to admit that I've forgotten it was down while trying to get the boat on plane at least once. Didn't phase it one bit. Love it, and will purchase another one as soon as the boss gives the OK. I also need electronics on the boat, but will hold off on them until I get the second pole, as I feel that will pay more dividends in my tournament fishing activities. Get one, you won
't regret it.
From: Shawn: Tampa, FL USA
Comments: The Talon system is much easier to use and maintain,you should look into buying one or two of those instead.
From: Tom: Plant City, FL
Comments: these things are amazing
From: Alec: MA
Comments: Also, the video seems to imply that this blade comes with the wireless foot control...This control seems to be OPTIONAL as well as it did not come in my box. Again, it is not pictured or listed but the video seems to imply that it is included. Just another FYI.
From: Pskirner: Cleveland, Ohio
Comments: To be clear, if you watch the video, it seems to imply that the power poles come, included with the box, the jack plate mounting bracket. I know it is not pictured nor listed, but that is what seems to be implied on the video. They DO NOT come with said bracket. Other then that...can't wait to try them, as I got my 2 10' poles today.
From: Pskirner: Cleveland, Ohio
Comments: :Just had a 10 ft. installed on my Triton. Pump motor is a little load running wide open but can't hear it at all on slow. It was worth the wait for the new one...the extra 2 ft. is the ticket!
From: Curt: GA

Rate this Article First Draft. Shura in the Family: Some thoughts by Abdul Malik Mujahid Gender relations in Islam are not based on men-women competition as in the west today but are based on gender cooperation. (Quran: 4:32) Husband is the leader (Qawwam) of the family as defined by Allah (Quran 4:34) But this leader, like all other Islamic leaders, are bound on one side by the Quran and Sunnah and on the other side by mutual consultation amruhum shura bainahum (Quran 42:38) The Muslim family, therefore, like all other Muslim institutions, formal or informal, must be run with mutual consultation. One major cause of problems in Muslim Ummah today is absence of shura. The shura process if adopted as a personal behavior, nourished by the family as a way of life, will benefit the Ummah as well. Some Guidelines for Informal Shura: Informal shura is like talking to each other. It may happen any place and any time. Listen attentively: No TV shows, games, books or newspaper should be in your way if your spouse or child wants to talk to you. Shura doesn't have to be about family affairs: Mutual consultation in the family could be about any topic. It was Umme Salma's advice, may Allah be pleased with her, which the Prophet followed when Muslims were reluctant in obeying the Prophet at the end of Hudaibiah. Allah's peace and blessings be upon the Prophet. A serious topic could be brought up in small doses if shura is not the norm of the family. Many women are afraid of bothering their husbands with "domestic" stuff. But take some time to think about how you'd like your husband to contribute and then talk with him about it. Spouses should brief each other about work, neighborhood, masjid, and each other's activities. Mutual information is necessary for mutual consultation. A family calendar will help tremendously for family time and shura. In the family meeting go over next month's dates (teacher conferences, games, next family meetings etc.). A large month by month calendar in the kitchen, next to the phone may work well. A family leader must encourage shura by being positive. If your wife or children are afraid of your reaction, they will not participate in shura. Shura in a restaurant: Spouses may meet each other everyday without ever actually discussing issues. Set a time to go out and talk. Walking Shura: What about an evening walk to discuss a topic? Some Points for formal Shura: It is a process to reach an agreement on an issue of mutual interest Every one should participate in shura with an open mind Allah's hamd, sana and salawat on our prophet should precede a shura Participation in shura means willingness to sacrifice your opinion if it is not accepted even if you are sure of its soundness. Learn the details of the topic under consultation before you speak. Listen attentively to what others are saying Be respectful in discussing other's point of view. Process of Shura involves abiding by what is agreed upon. Involve all children in the formal shura of the family. They come up with brilliant ideas. Avoid being defensive or sarcastic. Be rational and reasonable. Make dua for barakah in your decisions at the end. (Our children suggest that "Family Meeting" or "Family Circle" is a better title for family shura since "shura" feels too serious. They suggest that this forum should include discussion of any topic from the Quran, Sunnah or current affairs. Non-Verbal Communication: Frank and clear conversation with Taqwa is the key for success (Quran 33:70) Non-verbal criticism (gestures, silent treatment etc.) can cause more problems then we normally realize. Clearly communicate what you mean. Don't expect your spouse to magically read your mind, then be disappointed when he or she doesn't. Non-verbal communication, however, works well in a show of love, thanks, or appreciation. Nevertheless, verbalizing it when you really mean it is better. Criticism is Shura as well: Adab of giving criticism: (i.e. input and feedback) Check your motives (niyyah) first before opening your mouth. You should be doing it only to help someone, not to make yourself feel better than others. Make dua for yourself and the person you are approaching before you actually do it. Think beforehand and choose appropriate words. Don't sound critical, condescending, or judgmental. Timing is important: Don't do it when the fight is on. Criticism is best received when done one to one. Remember the Prophet said "A momin is a mirror to another momin." So just state what you see. Don't exaggerate. keep in mind that your information or even your conclusions may be wrong. Listen to the explanation attentively and accept it even if it is partially correct in your view. Avoid debating the point. Know where to stop. Don't drag on the discussion if it's not going anywhere. Adab of receiving criticism: Thank the person who considers your improvement important enough to help you with his/her thoughts. Welcome the feedback. Ask advice about how it could be improved. Explain if there is any misunderstanding. Admit mistake. Bad timing should not deter you from listening and benefiting. The person criticizing should not be stopped because of location, language, or manners. Do not turn the table and start criticizing that person in the same sitting. Make dua for the person who is criticizing you. Involving Children in Shura: Loving your children is not enough, communication is the key for successful development. Start early on with your kids to get them into the habit of talking with you about their day and their feelings. Shura is among the choice characteristic of Momin. (Quran 42:38) Inculcate it early on. (Our youngest sits down in shura with pen and paper and takes notes although he doesn't know how to write) They should be full participants of any formal or informal shura in the family unless it has to be between father and mother exclusively. Children open up informally more than formally. Two minute sound bites from them in a car may be more important insight into what they feel . Children love to ask questions. Answer their questions with one of your questions: "what do you think?" Think of their questions as the start of a two way conversation (mutual shura may pop in any time). Let children come up with solutions. Instead of giving advice, ask "so what would you like to do about this?" or "How do you think this should be handled?" Delegate an area of responsibility to your child instead of adopting a " do this, do that" style. Avoid electronic overload: TV, Stereos, Computers etc. are a convenient way for kids to close off from their parents. Set rules for TV. (see a 22 TV Tips sheet by the author at www.soundvision.com) Keep your sense of humor. Laughing won't undermine your authority or sabotage the lessons, rather, it will enhance your capacity to communicate. Respect children's opinion Carefully listen to what your kids say without being judgmental or critical. Reward a good idea. More Resources on relateed topics: To discuss Muslim family issues on the internet visit forums.soundvision.com. You can anonymously participate in this discussion contributing your experience and advice. Let's call it an anonymous shura for the benefit of the Ummah. There are several articles and essays on Sound Vision's website about parenting, husband and wife relationship, and education. A detailed version of this paper will also be put there. Br. Kamal will kill me (without shura) if I don't tell you that Sound Vision has a set of three video documentaries about the Muslim Family on sale. The set includes: The Ideal Muslim Husband (the Prophet), Hijab, and Holiday Myths. Khurram Murad's lecture: Saving Children in America has excellent advice for parents.
