Changing conventions: city leaders
Moving beyond policy-based decisions to reshape cities with insights gained from data
Infrastructure. Operations. People.
What makes a city? The answer, of course, is all three. A city is an interconnected system of systems. A dynamic work in progress, with progress as its watchword. A tripod that relies on strong support for and among each of its pillars, to become a smarter city for all.
Smarter cities drive sustainable economic growth and prosperity for their citizens. Their leaders have the tools to analyze data for better decisions, anticipate problems to resolve them proactively and coordinate resources to operate effectively.
As demands grow and budgets tighten, solutions also have to be smarter, and address the city as a whole. By collecting and analyzing the extensive data generated every second of every day, tools such as the IBM Intelligent Operations Center (US) coordinate and share data in a single view creating the big picture for the decision makers and responders who support the smarter city.
Planning and management
Long-term insights based on comprehensive data analysis, followed up through efficient daily management, help a city stay vital and safe for its citizens and businesses. Learn more about planning and management solutions for smarter cities.
Fundamental services—such as roadways, mass transit and utilities—make a city desirable and livable, but the key to keeping them viable is readiness for constant change. Learn more about infrastructure solutions for smarter cities.

Looking around the room, it's clear that our university's commitment to serving our nation and all nations has not changed one bit since John F. Kennedy's legendary visit in 1960. President Kennedy's impromptu remarks that day on the steps of the Michigan Union challenged students to give two years of their lives to help people in the developing world.
He inspired a movement on campus that led to one the most remarkable service projects in American history, the Peace Corps. That was over fifty years ago. Before the Foreign Assistance Act, before even the U.S. Agency for International Development, there was you.
Since then, the University of Michigan and the Ford School of Public Service have embraced their role as leaders in the global effort to tackle the greatest challenges of our time. You are the number four all-time contributor to Peace Corps, with a total of more than 2,450 volunteers since 1961.
We are here not only because we have a deep appreciation of the importance of food security, but also because we understand that hunger and undernutrition have a long-term impact on our nations' health, economies and security.
Around this time last year, the worst drought in 60 years had put more than 13.3 million people at risk across the Horn of Africa
At the same time, a similar emergency was building across eight nations in the Sahel, where a devastating combination of drought, conflict and displacement was affecting millions. Last November—even as we were responding to the crisis in the Horn—we began sending humanitarian supplies to the Sahel.
This is an exciting and important time for development. We're beginning to see incredible results taking shape—results that aren't just impacting individuals or communities, but entire nations. El Salvador has achieved 96 percent primary school completion rates for boys and girls—up from 81 percent 10 years ago. In Ethiopia, in the last six years, under-5 mortality has fallen by almost 30 percent—thanks, in part, to efforts to empower 30,000 community health workers with live-saving tools.
And in Afghanistan—probably one of the hardest places on earth to see clear development results—we've helped reduce maternal mortality to one-fifth of what it was a decade ago and expand basic services from only 6 percent of the country to 64 percent. Some of these results have brought us above and beyond our MDG targets, as we've seen this past year, when the world met the goals of reducing poverty by 50 percent and halving the proportion of people without access to clean drinking water.
Remarks as Prepared
It is a pleasure to join you today, because I believe we have a real opportunity at this moment in development. For decades, our community has talked about the importance of building community resilience to perennial disasters, like droughts and floods.
But every year, as many as half of our emergency workforce mobilizes to East Africa. And every year, communities from the Horn of Africa to the Sahel brace for a possible season of lost livelihoods—a season of starvation.
We know that more than 90 percent of the adult population in the developing world is unbanked. And more than 2 billion of these unbanked individuals are already using mobile phones in deeply innovative ways. In fact, I've seen the real potential for this work myself not far outside of Nairobi, where I met a dairy farmer named Gitau who didn't have access to the electric grid or running water. But by using a mobile phone app called iCOW, he could invest in his business, vaccinate his animals, improve their feedstock, and track milk output and local prices. "Information is power," he told me.
There's an exciting opportunity here for those of us working in this field. An opportunity to usher in a new era of development by forming public-private partnerships that change the way we do business—while expanding opportunity to millions. That's why we came together to build a network called the Better Than Cash Alliance—to accelerate the adoption of electronic payments around the world and to bring electronic payments and mobile money into our USAID programming with an eye towards greater gender equality and financial inclusion.
Time and again, the U.S. Agency for International Development has turned to the researchers, professors, and students here at FIU to help us tackle some of the greatest challenges of our time: from minimizing the risk of disasters in El Salvador to ensuring the sustainability of some of our most precious natural resources, like the Mara River in Tanzania. It's a partnership that has not only grown over time, but has delivered some extraordinary results for people around the world.
In the late 1980s, FIU and USAID partnered on the Agency's first major media initiative, which focused on training journalists across Latin America in investigative journalism and election coverage. Within a few years, it brought media owners and journalists together to produce the first journalist ethics code for Central America. This effort built on a long-standing partnership—dating back to 1984—to strengthen the capacity of justice systems in Latin American countries.
HANOI -- Good morning. It is my great pleasure to help open the seventh annual meeting of the Joint Advisory Committee. I would like to thank Deputy Minister Tuyen for hosting this meeting in your new headquarters building. I would also like to recognize the international partners who have joined us this morning, including representatives from the United Nations, the Czech Republic, and New Zealand.
Your presence here exemplifies the multilateral partnership that is helping Vietnam respond to environmental and health challenges related to Agent Orange.

USAID has been very happy to partner with the American Bar Association and the Addis Ababa University Law School in the development and publication of five legal textbooks authored by Ethiopian legal experts. I am especially proud of this collaboration since this is the first set of textbooks to be revised in 40 years. This is a remarkable and commendable achievement. I congratulate the authors who are faculty at Addis Ababa University and St. Mary's College--Ato Getachew Assefa, Ato Muradu Abdo, Ato Elias Stebek, Ato Wondwossen Demissie and Ato Fikremarian Merso.
Thank you to the Government of Ethiopia, particularly to the Ministry of Agriculture for hosting this workshop along with the Agricultural Transformation Agency and the Joint Sector Working Group for Rural Economic Development and Food Security which is co-chaired by the Ministry, the World Bank, and USAID. Welcome to all participants, particularly my fellow G-8 colleagues, private sector partners, and other new and potential partners in this grand New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition in Ethiopia.

Apple's Q2 Earnings Slightly Exceed Analyst Expectations, Sees First YOY Profit Drop in a Decade

It may not be able to do so in the future, though
Apple managed to meet analyst expectations regarding its second quarter earnings report, and even plans to dole out additional cash to investors.
For Q2 2013 that ended March 30, Apple posted a net profit of $9.5 billion ($10.09 per diluted share). However, profit was down 18 percent compared to the same period last year; this was Apple's first year-over-year profut decline in nearly 10 years. Revenue came in at $43.6 billion, which was a boost from $39.2 billion in the year-ago quarter.
Analysts expected around $10.07 per share on revenue of $42.5 billion.
Second quarter sales were at 37.4 million iPhones, 19.5 million iPads and a little under 4 million Macs.
"We are very fortunate to be in a position to more than double the size of the capital return program we announced last year," Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, said in the statement. "We believe so strongly that repurchasing our shares represents an attractive use of our capital that we have dedicated the vast majority of the increase in our capital return program to share repurchases."
Apple now has $145 billion in cash, and the board announced that it will return an extra $55 billion in cash to shareholders as part of a capital program that was introduced in March 2012. The board said it will double the $45 billion cash-return program, intending to up the spend on share repurchases and buybacks to $100 billion through the end of 2015.
For Q3 2013, Apple expects sales of $33.5 billion-$35.5 billion and gross margin is expected between 36 percent and 37 percent. Analysts were anticipating Q3 sales of $39.34 billion and gross margin of 38.8 percent.
Many investors weren't expecting the best figures to come from Apple's quarterly earnings report this time around, mainly because the Cupertino-based company has had a pretty tough year – and it shows in the company's stock price. Apple shares have fallen from $702.10 in September to $406.13 at the time of this article. The
stock price plunged to $400
after supplier Cirrus Logic Inc. warned investors that its margins had weakened. This is indicative of Apple's weak sales of flagship devices because Cirrus's chip stock fluctuates mainly with the sales of Apple's devices – since that's its largest customer.
Apple ditched Google Maps as its main iOS maps app in favor of its own in-house service last year. Apple Maps debuted with the iOS 6 launch in September, but the application failed miserably when it
came to navigation and geography
. Apple CEO Tim Cook was even forced to apologize for the mishap.
Beyond the mapping issues, Apple had a huge executive shakeup in 2012. In October, Apple Vice President of iOS Software
Scott Forstall was booted
from the company as a result of the poor job on the maps app. John Browett, head of Apple Retail, was fired at the same time for orchestrating a failed retail hiring formula. A month later, Richard Williamson -- manager of the Apple mapping team –
was fired
as well.
Competition from Google's Android operating system and it's key hardware maker Samsung has posed a huge threat toward Apple, too. Apple's iPhone only represented about 19 percent of worldwide smartphone shipments in 2012 while all Android-powered smartphones accounted for about 70 percent.
Android will even beat Apple in the tablet sector
this year, according to a new report from IDC.According to IDC, iPad shipments are expected to make up 46 percent of the tablet market for 2013, down from 51 percent in 2012. Android-powered tablets are expected to increase their market share to 49 percent in 2013, up from 42 percent in 2012.
Samsung is expected to
break another profit record
for its fiscal Q2 2013 quarterly earnings, with an earnings guidance of $7.7 billion USD profit (up from $5 billion USD in the year-ago quarter).
Apple and Google are even branching out to another competitive realm in mobile electronics: wearable technology. Google is now offering its
Google Glass headset
(which is an augmented reality device) for $1,500 to early adopters and Apple is developing a smart watch, which could be
released as early as this year
. Microsoft is said to be working on a smart watch, too.
showed a bit of fear
in March during the eve of the Samsung Galaxy S IV launch. Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, told
The Wall Street Journal
that Android's fragmentation was "plain and simple" and that Android-powered devices are the kinds of phones that are given as free replacements to feature phones. He also said that iOS is a much more smooth experience because Apple is responsible for both the hardware and software.
While Apple clearly had a ton of problems to contend with over the year, one of the major worries that investors have is whether Apple can continue to create innovative products and keep up with the likes of Samsung/Google. Many have complained that the iPhone has only had very minimal changes over the years, and that competitors are taking greater risks as far as hardware/software design and functionality.
Apple is looking to improve, however, with recent efforts like
bringing hardware and software design teams together
for greater collaboration. This could mean greater, more innovative products on the way.

Loc: Northamptonshire, England Actually, there are probably a lot more of us who are descended from other Europeans who came to Britain during the Roman occupation. Plus, as we already know from previous studies, quite a lot of us are descended from the various Viking groups which came over here in the 9th to 10th centuries for a bit of rape and pillage and then either stayed or went home for the missus before settling here. Britons are mongrels, there's no doubt about that!_________________________

Loc: Lancaster, UK The article says, "The study concluded: "Since the number of Italians or descendants of Italians in the legions did reduce very much over time, we estimate conservatively that one million men in Britain descend from Romans in the direct male line."
As to the numbers of people in Scotland bearing these genes, this is most probably mainly a result of the large Italian immigration to scotland - particularly Glasgow - in the late C19 and early C20. Movement between Glasgow and Blefast may possibly explsin some of the Irish results, although there is also the consideration that there was a fair amount of trade between Ireland and the Romans - and withn italy, later on. Casual relationships with sailors and travellers, resident agents and traders, all bring a likelihood of gene distribution.

Ok, so, I have my thoughts on this already...but I am posting this because I would like to have all of your input. Thank you so much.
I have come to realize that the only good candidate for a sponsor is a guy. I just dont know if its such a good idea. He is knowledgeable and according to all the people there...he has had great success as a sponsor. Maybe I am being to picky. But I want someone that I think can understand me, someone that I feel I can trust with my life and someone that I feel really wants to help because they really want to help. I get the feeling from some that they do it because 'AA says we are suppose to do it" not the outlook im lookin for. Anyways. This guy seems like he could be helpful. But, he has made it clear that he looks at me as something other than a sponsee. He said that he wants to get me through the steps, learn everything about me...and then once im through the steps...DATE me! Then proceeded to tell me how wonderful he thinks I am. I just think that would be asking for trouble. He has taken it upon himself the last couple weeks to show up at all the meetings I go to. I didnt think anything of it...just coincidence. Until someone said...why are you coming to these meetings? You never come to these. You always go to the ones in the morning! He confessed to me that ever since he saw me at my 1st meeting, he had been using the meetings as a way to keep seeing me.
He wouldnt back off. I didnt know what to tell him. He just kept talking. I told him that, sponsor or not, I wouldnt be going out with him. He then, of course, asked why. GEEZ....so...I tried to explain why. I thought I did a great job of getting my reason across...politely. Well, that just gave him incentive to 'try harder'. Ugh. Seriously? Whats with this guy? I am no where near as great as he makes me sound!
I know that its a bad idea. I really do. But here is one question. If I KNOW what I will, or in this case, WONT do. Should it matter what his intentions are?
And since I will have 30 days on Friday. I want to really work this program. I have done a lot on my own. But I want someone to look at what im doing and tell me if im doing it right or not.
There are things I am looking forward to...but those things are on hold till I can, truly and thoroughly get through the steps. And, that is a smart idea, even though im not a big fan of the idea! I want to be the best me I can be.
What do I do?
Love you all

SJulian1 wrote: How is this a practical design for a shirt? It's way too small to see any of the detail. If someone were on the other side of a room, this shirt would look like a messed up circle with some blobs in it. ... Yeah, actually. If it's a simple phrase with only a few words, and took up the whole shirt, then it would be fine.But all the key features of this design are indistinguishable from only a few feet away. Why would you want to wear something that will just look like blobs to everyone you pass by? And besides that, with the bottom half of the circle is smaller than the top half, how is that "Balanced"?. I would just *love* to hear the excuse you have to justify why it was designed that way. ... I'm going to have to side with those who are saying they aren't the same design. Ramyb tends to reuse general ideas over and over and over again. So yes, both designs are spherical and located on the chest of the shirt. But that doesn't mean that he just rehashed the Aztec design and slapped on a new name. Ramyb just uses the same few formats because he isn't really that creative. There are plenty of legitimate faults to many of his designs, people can't go out of their way to make up something to complain about. Because when that happens, then all the blind Ramyb supporters can point at all the complaints, even valid ones, and say that we're just trying to bash on Ramyb. ... My complaints need to be objective? How is wanting a design that people can actually see the detail of not objective? But I can accept the fact that not everyone will share my opinion about that. Although, the fact that this shirt is suppose to be about balance, but the two halves of the circle aren't even close to being proportionate isn't really something that can be disputed as acceptable.
Holy freaking crap, SJulian1, someone's mother didn't love them when they were a child, did she?!? You are going to be a lonely, bitter old man that chases small children off his lawn with his cane and his pistol. It's shirt woot. If you have to get your kicks by coming on here and bashing others to make yourself feel better, then you need get a life buddy. If you think ramyb's designs are so repetitive and obnoxious, why don't YOU submit a better one? Until we see that design and until it breaks the top 9, knock it off, please!

It's Time for Holder to Go After the Big FishOrganizations Unite, Demand: Top Bush Officials Must Be Prosecuted
These criminals should not be walking free.Click to make a donation to the indictment movement.
A large coalition of human rights organizations and prominent lawyers sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder last week urging him to hold firm against pressure from Dick Cheney and others to narrow the scope of a Special Prosecutor investigating Bush-era crimes.With each passing day the crimes committed by Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are being revealed. IndictBushNow and thousands of people throughout the country are taking to the streets, lobbying Congress, mass petitioning, issuing sign-on letters and taking out newspaper ads to demand that Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld – and not just low level operatives – be held accountable for their criminal acts. Please do your part by making an urgently needed financial contribution. This movement is growing. People from all walks of life are acting together. We urgently need your help. Make a donation now. IndictBushNow supporters and volunteers are active mobilizing support for a serious prosecution of Bush and Cheney. The coalition that sent a letter to Holder includes the American Association of Jurists, Center for Constitutional Rights, National Lawyers Guild, U.S. Human Rights Network and more than sixty others.
Open Letter to Attorney General Holder We, the undersigned, are writing to request that you hold firm against any attempts by former Vice President Dick Cheney, the CIA directors, and the media to silence those who demand that the United States hold accountable those who have committed and authorized torture. We call on you to appoint a special independent prosecutor who is not part of the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute all those who ordered, approved, justified, abetted or carried out the torture and abuse. The people who are held accountable should not be limited to low-level operatives. We are particularly disturbed by the efforts of the reporters at the Washington Post to distort the facts and ignore the illegality of torture. They cited anonymous sources who allegedly said that torture works; these "reports" contradict the newly released report of the CIA's Inspector General. Cheney's claim that your decision to open an investigation into the conduct of the CIA is a politicization of this issue is shameful. If anything, political pressure has led to your office taking too narrow an approach to the investigation. The world community has expressed its revulsion at the use of torture in any form. Torture is illegal under all circumstances. The prohibition against torture is considered in international law on par with laws against genocide, slavery and wars of aggression. Under the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court, it is a crime against humanity. The United States is a party to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT) and the Geneva Conventions. Both treaties expressly require the United States to either extradite or initiate prosecution of persons who are reasonably accused – this is a legal obligation. The U.S. Torture Statute that Congress passed to fulfill our obligations under the CAT outlaws torture committed outside the United States. The U.S. War Crimes Act punishes torture as a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions. In 2006, the Supreme Court affirmed in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld that all prisoners in U.S. custody are protected by the Geneva Conventions. There are many who claim we should ignore the facts and the law and refuse to hold accountable all those responsible for the use of torture. Whether actionable intelligence was gained is not the issue. Nor is the morale in the CIA. We believe the oath of office you took requires that you not pick and choose those laws you will enforce.
Please make an urgently needed donation so that our movement can continue to mushroom all over the country.

Tests for Erection Problems
Skip to the navigationTest Overview
Tests for erection problems can help find a cause for a man's problem in having or maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction, or impotence). Erectile dysfunction is a common male problem. Most erection problems are caused by a combination of blood vessel, nerve, or psychological issues.
To find the cause of erection problems, your doctor will first ask about your sexual history and do a physical exam. During the physical exam, the doctor will:
- Check your blood pressure.
- Check your penis and testicles for any problems.
- Order blood tests to check testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), prolactin, and thyroid hormone levels.
Other tests that may be done as part of a physical exam include:
- Blood tests, such as a complete blood count (CBC), blood glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride.
- A urine test.
If the results of your physical exam and other tests are normal, your doctor may have you try a medicine, such as sildenafil (for example, Viagra), tadalafil (for example, Cialis), or vardenafil (for example, Levitra), before doing more tests.
This topic focuses on three more tests you may have after the physical exam and lab tests listed above. These three specific tests used to find the cause of erection problems are:
- Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) test.
- Intracavernosal injection test.
- Doppler ultrasound.
Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) test
The NPT test checks whether a man is having normal erections during sleep. Most men have 3 to 5 full erections during deep (rapid eye movement, or REM) sleep. Men who do not have erections because of psychological problems can still have erections during deep sleep. Occasionally, some sleep problems or serious depression can prevent these normal nighttime (nocturnal) erections.
This test can be done at home or in a special sleep lab. One of two ways may be used.
- A simple ringlike device called a snap gauge made up of plastic films is fitted around the penis. The films break at certain pressures. So an erection during sleep will cause the film to snap.
- An electronic monitoring device records how many, how long, and how rigid the erections are during sleep. An electronic monitoring device is more expensive than using the snap gauge, but it is more accurate and gives more detailed information about erections during sleep.
Tests are usually done for at least two nights in a row. If good erections occur during sleep, the cause of the erection problems probably is not physical.
The NPT test may also be called the stamp test or the rigidity test.
Intracavernosal injection test
During this test, the doctor injects a medicine (usually alprostadil) into the side of the penis to make an erection. This is called an intracavernosal injection. A similar medicine may also be placed into the urethra, the tube through which urine leaves the penis. This is called an intraurethral injection. The fullness of the erection and how long the erection lasts are measured.
Doppler ultrasound test
Doppler ultrasound (also called color duplex Doppler) uses a handheld tool passed lightly over the penis. The tool uses reflected sound waves to estimate the speed and direction of blood as it flows through a blood vessel. The sound waves go to a computer that changes the sounds to colors that are overlaid on a picture of the blood vessel. This shows the speed and direction of blood flow. You may need to have medicine injected into your penis (intracavernosal injection) to cause an erection before the Doppler test is done.
The results of your tests may show which kind of treatment is a good choice for you.
Health Tools
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Why It Is Done
Tests for erection problems are done to help find whether the cause of an erection problem is physical, psychological, or a combination of both.
Physical conditions that may cause erection problems include:
- Problems with the nerves of the penis. Conditions such as multiple sclerosis or diabetes may cause nerve damage that affects a man's ability to have an erection. Also, surgery, injury, or radiation treatment to the pelvic area may cause damage to the nerves of the penis.
- Problems with the blood vessels that supply blood to the penis. Conditions such as hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) may make it difficult for a man to have an erection. Activities such as long-distance bicycle riding on a hard, narrow saddle may increase a man's risk for having an erection problem.
- Low levels of hormones, such as testosterone or thyroid hormones.
- Side effects of medicines, such as medicines taken for high blood pressure (hypertension) or depression.
- The use of tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs.
Psychological tests may be needed if no physical cause is found for an erection problem. Psychological causes of erection problems may include:
- Anxiety about sexual performance.
- Relationship problems.
- Stress.
- Depression or grief.
How To Prepare
Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) test
Do not take any medicines that cause an erection, such as sildenafil (for example, Viagra), tadalafil (for example, Cialis), and vardenafil (for example, Levitra), before the test.
Do not drink alcohol or take sleeping pills for 2 days before you have a nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) test. The alcohol and the pills can change your deep (REM) sleep time, which can affect nocturnal erections.
Intracavernosal injection test
If you are having an intracavernosal injection test, tell your doctor if you:
- Are allergic to any medicine.
- Have any bleeding problems or are taking blood-thinning medicine, such as aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), warfarin (Coumadin), clopidogrel (Plavix), or ticlopidine (Ticlid).
- Have ever had an erection lasting more than 3 hours (priapism).
Doppler ultrasound
You may be asked to avoid products that contain nicotine (cigarettes, chewing tobacco) for 30 minutes to 2 hours before the test.
How It Is Done
Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) test
It is helpful if you wear briefs-type underwear (not boxer shorts) with a fly front when you are ready for bed. Put your penis through the fly front and keep your pubic hair inside the underwear out of the way. Put the device around your penis. After you put the device on, carefully put your penis inside your underwear.
The types of devices you can use include:
- Snap gauge. A snap gauge is a ringlike device made up of plastic films that fit around the penis. The films break at certain pressures. A snap gauge will break during an erection. It can also tell how firm the penis became during the erection. This test is usually done 2 or 3 nights in a row.
- Electronic devices. Electronic devices measure changes in the fullness of the penis. The devices have one or more elastic loops that fit around the penis. These are hooked to a small unit that records changes as the loops are stretched.
Intracavernosal injection test
The intracavernosal injection test is generally done by a urologist in the office or clinic. For this test, you will need to take off all of your clothes below the waist, and you will be given a cloth or paper gown to use.
While you sit or stand, your penis will be cleaned with a special soap. Then your doctor will inject a medicine into the side of your penis with a small needle. After the medicine is injected, your doctor may massage the penis for a few seconds to help spread the medicine in the penis. Some doctors may use a band that is gently tightened around the base of the penis for 5 minutes after the medicine is given to make sure an erection occurs.
A low dose of the medicine is used at first. If the low dose does not cause an erection, then a larger dose may be used. An erection should occur within 5 to 10 minutes after the medicine is given.
The medicine may also be given in a thin tablet that is put in the urethra.
After the medicine is given, you may be asked to watch sexually stimulating movies or to massage your penis to cause an erection. Your doctor will measure how rigid and how long the erection lasts. After the test, your doctor may inject a second medicine to make sure your erection goes away.
Doppler ultrasound
The Doppler ultrasound test is done by a urologist or ultrasound technician.
You will lie down on an examination table. Your doctor may need to inject a medicine or use a soft band around the penis to cause an erection to see blood flow through the vessels.
How It Feels
Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) test
A nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) test does not cause any discomfort, but you may feel embarrassed about doing the test. Remember that it's important to find the cause of your inability to have an erection and you don't need to feel embarrassed about the test.
Intracavernosal injection test
During the intracavernosal injection test, you will feel a sharp, stinging pain in your penis from the needle. If you feel a burning or aching pain during the erection, tell your doctor immediately.
Doppler ultrasound
The ultrasound does not cause any pain. If you get a medicine or device during the test to cause an erection, you may feel embarrassed and the shot may hurt.
Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) test
There are no problems from having the nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) test.
Intracavernosal injection test
The intracavernosal injection test has a small chance of causing:
- Bleeding at the injection site.
- Bruising or swelling around the injection site.
- An erection that lasts for 3 or more hours. This condition, called priapism, is a rare side effect of some medicines used for this test. If priapism occurs, it usually can be reversed using another medicine.
Doppler ultrasound
There are no problems from an ultrasound test. If a device is used to cause an erection, you may have some mild discomfort. If a shot of medicine is used, you have the same chance for problems as the intracavernosal injection test.
Tests for erection problems can help find a cause for a man's problem in having or maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction, or impotence).
Tests for erection problems may include blood tests for testosterone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, and thyroid hormone. A urine test, complete blood count, blood sugar level, and cholesterol and triglyceride levels may also be done.
To learn more about lab tests done for erection problems, see:
- Testosterone.
- Prolactin.
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone.
- Luteinizing Hormone.
- Thyroid Hormone Tests.
- Urine Test.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC).
- Blood Glucose.
- Cholesterol and Triglycerides Tests.
Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) test
An erection has likely occurred if:
- One or more films on the snap gauge have broken.
- The electronic device has recorded an increase in penis size.
An erection has likely not occurred if:
- None of the films on the snap gauge have broken.
- The electronic device has not recorded an increase in penis size.
The test is more accurate if repeat tests show the same results.
Intracavernosal injection test
An erection caused by intracavernosal injection is usually measured on a scale of 0 to 4, with a full erection measuring a 4.
- If the test causes an erection with a value of 3 or 4, it is likely that your erection problems do not have a physical cause.
- If the test causes an erection with a value of 0 to 2, your erection problems may have a physical cause.
Doppler ultrasound
The ultrasound can show if you have blood flow problems as the cause of your erection problems.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Anxiety or pain while having the intracavernosal injection test.
- Sleep problems or the use of sleeping pills.
- The use of tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs.
What To Think About
- Your doctor may do a digital rectal examination to check your prostate gland. To learn more, see the topic Digital Rectal Examination (DRE).
- Doppler ultrasound may not be widely available. To learn more, see the topic Doppler Ultrasound.
- Occasional erection problems are normal. If you are usually able to have and maintain a full erection, tests are usually not needed. Your erection problem may be from stress or anxiety or relationship problems.
- Psychological tests may be recommended if no physical cause is found for your erection problem. You may want to see a counselor who specializes in sexual problems.
- An angiogram may be recommended if initial tests can't find a cause for your erection problems. An angiogram is an X-ray test that takes pictures of the blood flow in an artery. To learn more, see the topic Angiogram. Experts are not sure how useful the angiogram test is because treatment to repair the blood vessels of the penis will be a choice for only a few men with this specific problem.
- Dorsal nerve conduction test, evoked potential studies, and penile biothesiometry are extensive neurologic tests to check the nerve supply to the penis. These nervous system tests are not generally done or are not widely available.

While updating a presentation on health and wellness, I was intrigued by the history of a charismatic, iconic rock-and-roll band that defined a genre of music for 30 years.
The band consisted of a lead guitarist, a rhythm guitarist, a keyboardist and a percussionist. Their touring schedule was absolutely daunting with hundreds of concerts a year punctuated by punishing travel.
Now what can we possibly learn from a group of rockers? Well, there was an important takeaway for me. These musicians would typically tour for eight to 10 weeks at a time. But before striking out on these arduous journeys, they would isolate themselves in an obscure part of the world to rehearse, reconnect with families and prepare for the upcoming tour. There were occasions throughout their careers when they cut back on these "musical retreats," and the results were absolutely, predictably disastrous. They lost focus. They bickered among themselves, and their music suffered.
So when you're faced with a demanding project or a series of challenges, take a page from this band's book. You need time alone. You need time to focus. You need time to recharge your batteries.
Anything else we can learn from the world of the musician?

We were at Mayo for a clinic appt. Sept.9, Friday. I had my sandwich and listened to someone playing piano in the Gonda between appts. It was the most beautiful playing I ever heard. At the end of his session, he said something to this effect to those listening - most of you are here because you are hurting or for someone you love who is. That is why we are here, to help you with that. It made me realize the value of beautiful music, especially for those who are hurting.

Perhaps I misphrased it. My bad.I'm sure it does draw out a certain amount of moisture out of the dough, otherwise the bottom wouldn't crisp up, right? What I meant was that the stones, especially the thin ones don't get rid of excessive moisture from the toppings. I could imagine that the stone's thickness is a major factor since they provide a more mass, which in turn generates or radiates more heat? You're the science buff, so help me out here.
Stones certainly can't generate heat either. That's what the elements or flames are for.
What's the proper term to describe the stone's temp/heat output?
radiate or conduct
I would think that moisture or steam would develop between the foil and the bottom crust during baking and result in a less crispy crust. Does that make sense?
Peter,Yes. I think pre- or par-baking is definitely the key to a crispy crust, hence my use of par-baking when I make thin and crispy pizza. Oil will certainly fry the crust to crispiness too.- red.november

Advising information for Research Opportunities
Essentially, psychologists are talking about "research" when we plan a way to answer a particular question. In psychology we may be involved in several types of research involving questionnaires, interviews, or experimental equipment. While research can be conducted with either humans or animals, most of the research currently being conducted in the Psychology Department involves humans.

baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting. |
(part 1) Baseball card production was virtually halted in the early 1940's due to paper shortages created by World War II. The "Modern Era" of baseball cards began in 1948 when Bowman Gum Inc. offered one card and one piece of gum in a pack for a penny. The first important football set was the Mayo set featuring college players in 1984. Other than the 1935 National Chicle set no other key football set was issued until 1948 when noth Bowman and Leaf produced sets. |
1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!! The set even contains seldom seen ROOKIES of Dave Winfield and Dave Parker.
