Lady Antebellum headlining Wisconsin State Fair Aug. 9
The Wisconsin State Fair has locked in Lady Antebellum for Aug. 9, the fair's first main stage headliner to be announced for 2014.
The country-pop act has come a long way since an early morning gig at the Mayfield Mobil gas station in Richfield. Winning record and song of the year Grammys in 2011 for its smash breakthrough single "Need You Now," on top of many other awards in the past few years, the trio of Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood saw its last three albums at the top of the Billboard charts, with 13 million digital singles to date sold in the U.S., according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Included in that tally is the playful hit "Downtown," the lead single off the band's latest studio album, "Golden," released last May. An opening act has yet to be announced. »Read Full Article

Commissioner Larry Scott, above, and the Pac-12 Conference hired Ed Rush in May 2012. / Kyle Terada, USA TODAY Sports
In the wake of an investigation by the Pac-12 Conference, Ed Rush has resigned as the league's coordinator of men's basketball officials, the league announced Thursday.
"I would like to thank the Pac-12 for giving me the opportunity to lead a group of officials who are working so hard to make the Pac-12 the best officiated conference in college basketball," Rush said in a statement issued by the Pac-12 on Thursday. "My first and highest concerns have always been the integrity of the game of basketball and the honor of the craft of officiating. While I am proud of what we have accomplished, my decision to resign reflects my strong desire to see the Pac-12 officiating program continue to grow and thrive."
According to reports by The Seattle Times and CBSSports.com, Rush told a group of officials on the Thursday of the Pac-12 tournament in Las Vegas that he would give them inducements if they issued Miller a technical foul or ejected him from a game. Rush reiterated a similar message in a Friday morning meeting. Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott called Rush's actions "completely inappropriate."
Rush served as the Pac-12's coordinator of men's basketball officiating for less than a year after taking the job last May following a 32-year career as an NBA referee.
"I want to express my appreciation for the great contribution Ed made to basketball officiating for the conference during his tenure, particularly in the area of training and the cultivation of new officiating talent. All of us at the conference thank him for his years of hard work, and we wish him well," Scott said in a statement.

Come on people, this is actually pretty ideal. I have always had a strong belief that the best way to make a game multiplatform is not merely having porters bring it to a limited range of target platforms, but to have the code out for it so that support can be offered to any platform that want's it. Just think about what would have happened even so more modern mainstream titles had their source code released so soon after release. Thank what would have happened if Rage had it's source code out now instead of some time down the line. I can not see how one can really complain about how this particular launch is being handled - I am not even sure if RMS would.
I do share some of the concern over id's future though, as they do seem to be flailing about without a real sense of direction and are seeming being mismanaged. Even if we no longer get a port on launch day (at least at the moment) they are still the single most supportive developer of free software games and engines, and there loss would still have repercussions to anyone interested in free gaming and free software in general.
This is actually good news - do not get too hung up over it.

I prefer Spock, lizard, scissors, paper, rock.

I wish the role reversal was more apparent.
I think it's just my love of the Pyro, but this reminds me of Team Fortress 2. It's cute!
So that's how paper always wins...
A very clever idea, and extremely well executed by Radscoolian. I'm a big fan of the fire effect coming from the flame-thrower. Great design all around, but that fire really seals the deal for me.
LMAO at the rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock reference!
Lizards?... SPOCKS?... Is that like the "live long and prosper" Vulcan hand-sign?... I'm so confused!
This shirt is awesome! How fun and clever. My favorite types of shirts.
If I didn't have "Rock, Scissor, Dragon" I'da bought this. But in the shirt kung foo, Dragon winz.
Repap always wins.
They should have used Dwayne Johnson's head instead of that boulder.

Okay, I KNOW about the sizing chart... and order all my shirts in XL (possibly still too small for me depending on lunch) But are there other fluctuations in shirt size as well? I've noticed a few I've ordered seem to fit much tighter than others.
Don't wear this shirt: when you're teaching a little kid . . . Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly. - Dalai Lama
Here ya go.
A nice play on the old game. I can dig it
I feel bad for paper. It was always a little ridiculous that just covering rock spelled the stone's gravelly doom, but now all he has is a nail file against a jackhammer and a flamethrower.
Congrats on the print. The fire tutorial was informative as well. I'm hoping to be able to implement it into future designs.
This is sure to bring endless confused looks from everyone who sees it... I'd love to hear stories of people's reactions sometime.
Cute, everyone gets an upgrade.
Definitely thought this was a Team Fortress 2 reference at first glance. Still looks like it from a distance. Great design anyway.
Ugh, looks like yet another asphault woot tee will be heading my way soon... Great job on the design, it looks fantastic!
Narfcake wrote:Tsk, tsk, Mr. Scissors - operating equipment without safety goggles. Mr. Rock has the right idea.
Not to mention the fact that he only has one helmet when he obviously needs two.
Adding just Lizard and Spock is for wusses. Real men play RPS-25. RPS-101 also exists, but it's really the equivalent of "God-mode." PS: Congrats radscoolian! Awesome shirt, I'll definitely buy one.
Play rock, paper, scissors against a machine! http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/science/rock-paper-scissors.html I, for one, welcome our new rock, paper, scissors-playing overlords.
terrenceistheman wrote:reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock-paper-scissors-lizard-Spock
That pentagram of a graph just shows this to be devil worship. Or sorcery. One of the two, definitely.
Thank you so much, everyone! This means a lot to me and my family. I wonder if I should retire.
Classic role reversal... love it!
Paper is stupid!
This is exactly how I say the game! The name of the game is Scissors, paper, rock, my friend's opinions be damned!
One word: Awesome.
Congrats on first place Radscoolian!!!
Well I'll go fix the tear in the universe that this shirt has created, brb.
Its Rock, Paper, Scissors please. In for 1
I always thougtht that rock should rip through paper, given its over strength, but a flamethrower will work. Oh, and speaking of flames, I like the look of the fire there, it has a real yet cartoony look, if you catch my meaning.
I personally liked it best on blue but congrats Radscoolian!
wren1024 wrote:I wish the role reversal was more apparent.
I wish the story/explanation was printed on the T... otherwise I'm going to have to memorise it.
Paper is such a wuss, like Rock even needs to do much to defend itself. All Rock has to do is get a little damp.

Sparkling Camden Yards, home of the not-so-sparkling Baltimore Orioles.
BALTIMORE — Say what you want about the Orioles — and there are plenty of negative things to say about this franchise — but they still call Camden Yards home, and there are few ballparks in American that can top this place.
That's about the only thing the Orioles can hang their hats on right now, though. They were struggling last month when they came down to D.C. and lost two of three, and they're struggling worse now. Dave Trembley was fired, Juan Samuel has taken over as interim manager and the search for a permanent replacement goes on. In the most astounding stat you'll ever find, Baltimore first basemen have yet to hit a single home run this season. Think about that. Just mind-boggling.
So, once again, the Nationals have an opportunity to seize the moment and take down an inferior opponent. They won't have Stephen Strasburg in this series, but they will have J.D. Martin (who has pitched well despite his 0-3 record), Livan Hernandez (who was fantastic his last time out) and Luis Atilano (also coming off a strong start).
Now, the question on everyone's mind: Who is DH'ing tonight? The answer; Josh Willingham. Willie Harris is in left field. (Don't blame me, I'm just the messenger.) However, Michael Morse is starting in right field. Roger Bernandina is on the bench.
Check back for updates throughout…

Finally! After all that time being stuck on the bench! You've got to play your best 9 and for once we get to see Willie Harris get the spot he so badly deserves! Also – why the he!! did we ever trade Hanrahan? Bring back Milledge!
- HHover - Jun 25, 2010 at 8:03 PM
Glad to see Morse in there. Too bad Riggleman apparently feels he has to start Willie in LF for balance.
- Cwj - Jun 25, 2010 at 8:06 PM
Hanrahan was a disaster for the Nats last year. He's doing OK for the Pirates, but the Nats have Storen, Clippard and Capps. Also, Burnett (who they traded for) continues to pitch well.The Nats simply must take this series against the terrible O's. It's a shame Stras' schedule doesn't allow for a start this series. It would likely be a mismatch.

Mark,What are you hearing about Harris's future here….is anyone with the Nats…beside Riggs backing him for more playing time? Orr would be a better hitter and can play anywhere…he has 8 HRs. Mench, Davis, Boomer W. even Maxwell would be a better bat than Harris.
- Anonymous - Jun 25, 2010 at 8:14 PM

@JayB – Maxwell? Surely you jest
- Bowdenball - Jun 25, 2010 at 8:18 PM
I disagree with your assessment about the Baltimore 1B woes being the most astounding stat you will ever see.LF is generally considered the prime "offensive" spot in the field. It's the best place to hide.The Washington Nationals starting LF, on a day AFTER A DAY OFF, is batting … drumroll please … .151, with an on-base percentage of .240, and slugging percentage of .321. And he's not even batting in the lowest spot in the order.THOSE are the most astounding stats I, or anyone else, will ever see.
- Anonymous - Jun 25, 2010 at 8:20 PM
Maxwell? Seriously? I swear some of you guys have such a man-crush on that guy you'd marry him if you could. Is that why you all want him in DC again, now that it's legal? He's probably the only player that's been on the team this year to perform WORSE than Harris at the plate…
- Hendo - Jun 25, 2010 at 8:26 PM
1. Re Maxwell and man-crush: Maxwell is married and bigamy is still illegal, even in D.C., so that's out.2. Camden Yards may be a gem but that Hilton hotel is an abomination.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jun 25, 2010 at 8:40 PM
Is Willy Mo Pena still around? He could be DH'ing and batting ahead of the other great Willie on this club.
- JayB - Jun 25, 2010 at 8:55 PM
I said even Maxwell….which tells you how far Harris's skills have slipped. He is just a complete waste of roster space….ANYONE would be better. He is not going to turn his season around….he is done (except for making outs for Riggs it seems)!
- Anonymous - Jun 25, 2010 at 8:57 PM
Maybe we could re-sign Anderson Hernandez..just in case we need to put on another suicide squeeze…There are some real quality players that the Nats have had. Maybe in the spirit of the All-Star game and Willie Harris getting a start someon could put together a Nats' All-Star roster featuring Harris, Kearns, etc.
- Doc - Jun 25, 2010 at 8:58 PM
How about Rick Eckstein weighing in on what's going on with the hitters right now? He seems to be one coach who is really doing his job!
- alm1000 - Jun 25, 2010 at 9:07 PM
No No No!!! Harris for Bernadina – our worse hitter for our best. Good thing the rest of the team can pick up the slack…Harris must go, there must be someone in AAA or AA that can hit better than .150.
- Slidell - Jun 25, 2010 at 9:26 PM
Was hoping for a "shake'em up" lineup against the O's— Substituting Michael for Roger doesn't exactly cut it. And, starting Willie in Left amounts to a thumb in the eye for all his complainants. Also, it completely negates the theory of the DH. JD has as good of a chance at the plate. Why, in the name of all that is holy, can't we put our best possible lineup on the field?
- JayB - Jun 25, 2010 at 9:35 PM
IF….Riggs is right then what does that mean for a good team….If Morgan is only good in July-August then what good is he to a team that is trying to win 90 games? Riggs is the perfect .456 win% manager. He is gone next year.
- JayB - Jun 25, 2010 at 9:41 PM
"so we're going to be real patient with him." ……Isn't this the exact words Riggs used a few hours before Rizzo shipped Lannan to AA?
- Anonymous - Jun 25, 2010 at 9:50 PM
At this point I prefer Whiting and his 25 runs above average total zone plus his .420 OBP over JMax. Right handed Nyjer?
- natsfan1a - Jun 25, 2010 at 9:58 PM
Wait…Nyjer is treading water in a glass? I'm sooo confused. :-)True, the placement of that hotel is quite unfortunate (of course, we have some ugly parking garages in our view at Nats Park, so I'll just hold on to my stone here). My fave view is at AT&T Park, but I am not unbiased…
- Ernie - Jun 25, 2010 at 10:02 PM
Riggleman is aware that the interleague games still count on our record, right? They're not like exhibition games where you don't have to win. Where on earth does he get this idea that the DH position is for the scrubs to get a chance to play? Willie might be the greatest guy in the world, but the world doesn't owe him the right to play. He's still getting his money. I loved the guy last year, but he's slowed down a lot since then. Whether we're contenders or not, I buy my season ticket package with the idea that the goal is to field the strongest team on a daily basis, not to give some good guys a chance to break out of slumps. I grew up in Columbus watching hitters with the Clippers trying to break out of slumps so they could get back to the majors. I paid a lot less for those seats. A major league ticket should mean I get to see the guys who already know what they're doing. They handled Lannan well. I want to see him work it out and get back up here. I want the same for Willie. Just not for my $50 a night…

Regarding the Baltimore park: a faux park, top to bottom. No soul. Everything in it is fake – the warehouse, the fake retro lettering, and so on. Not my favorite park.Regarding the lineup — not the shakeup I was waiting for.From another thread: I kinda like this dribble. [sic]

Is it just me, or is it kind of crazy that the only position player on the 40-man that's in the minors is Justin Maxwell. The only other position player on the 40-man is Maldonado, but he's on the 15-day DL.Do we really need an extra 13 pitchers on our 40-man?Mark, I think this should be something to bring up to the Rizz when you get the opportunity.

Anon @9:23, Nyjer 4 for 4 is like last year when the Nats picked up Nyjer as he did it with the glove, OBP, and running.I am hoping this is the start of Nyjer channeling his Tony Plush and his swagger. He can ignite this sleeping offense.

OK I guess I'll wait on the 4 horseman :)but if he goes 6 for 6 I'm going to start to believe in the Jay B conspiracy theory between Juan Samuel and Riggleman.

..And now we don't have to worry about who the official scorer might give a 'W' to. At this rate, we ARE going to have to worry about which Nationals pitcher will get the 'L'.

Holy cow, 4 errors!
- Jim Riggleman - Jun 26, 2010 at 3:12 AM
Well I guess sometimes you've just got to tip your cap to the other team and let's give some credit to Willie Harris who finally got a hit. You can't win them all and we'll just have to go out there and play a little harder tomorrow afternoon. But I'm proud of Willie and I consider that a victory of it's own kind. And what are you really going to do about it? Rizzo doesn't have the balls to fire me! Just wait until tomorrow when I bench Zimmerman and Dunn both because Kennedy and Gonzalez need some playing time. You can't stop me!

Orioles sweep–Riggleman gets fired.
- HHover - Jun 26, 2010 at 3:17 AM
I'll say this for the Nats–I'm impressed with their ability to find fresh ways to lose.The crap-stastic play of the middle infield means that Jim doesn't have to worry about making excuses for playing Willie.

I'm driving home from Baltimore now. This one definitely hurts the most. What a demoralizing loss.

Riggleman will find some way to polish the turd. He always does.

You've got to give credit to the Orioles. They're a professional team, they brought their "A" game, they had their "game face" on today, and they never quit on themselves.It's still a long season and it's just one game. Tomorrow's another day. One loss is the same as any other loss. Since our two teams have a strong financial interest in MASN, we're not going to get too upset about this one.In terms of "Rivalry," none of our players care about Washington. Few could find Washington and Baltimore on a US map–they couldn't care less about either city. They make lots and lots of stupid errors. It's a low IQ team. Low team for hitting in the clutch. Very, VERY low intensity team.Not one Nationals player is as mad as any of the people writing on all these Nats boards. They are the picture of indifference.We are all wasting our time and money.
- Cwj - Jun 26, 2010 at 4:05 AM
Crushing loss. I only watched off and on on the TV. 6-0 at one point, 6-3, 6-7. Yowza.I really think Capps should have replaced Clippard before the lead was given up in the 8th. If Capps is the closer, test him.
- natsfan1a - Jun 26, 2010 at 11:13 AM
Yep, this one hurt. Plus, Nyjer was robbed of the Elvis wig – by his own team.

Have you ever had Irish oatmeal? Or maybe you know it by a different name, such as pinhead oats or steel-cut oats?
If you're not familiar, steel-cut oats are oats from which the inedible outer husk has been removed. The oat groats (the inner part of the oat kernels) are cleaned, and then chopped into three or four small pieces as they're passed through steel cutters. Whatever you call it, this dish is a delicious and very healthy whole grain. [Read more…]

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Cranial Ultrasound
Cranial ultrasound uses reflected sound waves to produce pictures of the brain and the inner fluid chambers (ventricles) through which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flows. This test is most commonly done on babies to evaluate complications of premature birth. In adults, cranial ultrasound may be done to visualize brain masses during brain surgery.
Ultrasound waves cannot pass through bones, so an ultrasound to evaluate the brain cannot be done after the bones of the skull (cranium) have grown together. Cranial ultrasound can be done on babies before the bones of the skull have grown together or on adults after the skull has been surgically opened. It may be used to evaluate problems in the brain and ventricles in babies up to about 18 months old.
Complications of premature birth include periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and bleeding in the brain, including intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). PVL is a condition in which the brain tissue around the ventricles is damaged, possibly from decreased oxygen or blood flow to the brain that may have occurred before, during, or after delivery. IVH and PVL increase a baby's risk of developing disabilities that may range from mild learning or gross motor delays to cerebral palsy or an intellectual disability.
IVH is more common in premature babies than in full-term babies. When it occurs, it most commonly develops in the first 3 to 4 days after birth. Most cases of IVH can be detected by cranial ultrasound by the first week after delivery. In contrast, PVL can take several weeks to detect. For this reason, cranial ultrasound may be repeated 4 to 8 weeks after delivery if PVL is suspected. Several cranial ultrasound tests may be done to evaluate areas in the brain.
Cranial ultrasound may also be done to evaluate a baby's large or increasing head size, detect infection in or around the brain (such as from encephalitis or meningitis), or screen for brain problems that are present from birth (such as congenital hydrocephalus).
Cranial ultrasound may be done on an adult to help locate a brain mass. Because cranial ultrasound cannot be done after the skull bones have fused, it is only done after the skull has been surgically opened during brain surgery.
In babies, cranial ultrasound usually is only done:
In adults, cranial ultrasound may be done during brain surgery to help locate a brain mass.
No special preparation is required before having this test.
If an older baby is having the test, it may help to have the baby be a little hungry. The baby can be fed during the test, which will help the baby to be comforted and to hold still during the test.
This test is done by a doctor who specializes in interpreting imaging tests (radiologist) or by an ultrasound technologist (sonographer) who is supervised by a radiologist. For a baby, cranial ultrasound may be done at your baby's bedside in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). With the baby lying on his or her back, the transducer is moved across the soft spot (fontanelle) on top of the head. You may be asked to hold your baby during the test. Pictures of the brain and inner fluid chambers (ventricles) can be seen on a video monitor.
For an adult, cranial ultrasound is done during brain surgery to help find a brain mass.
A cranial ultrasound usually takes 15 to 30 minutes.
There is usually no discomfort involved with having a cranial ultrasound test. Unless the gel is first warmed to body temperature, it may feel cold when it is put on the skin.
There are no known risks linked with a cranial ultrasound test.
Cranial ultrasound uses reflected sound waves to produce pictures of the brain and the inner fluid chambers (ventricles) through which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flows.
The size and shape of the brain appear normal.
The size of the brain's inner fluid chambers (ventricles) is normal.
Brain tissue appears normal. No bleeding, suspicious areas (lesions), abnormal growths, or evidence of infection are present.
Bleeding in the brain may be present, which may indicate intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Repeated tests are often done to check the bleeding or to look for problems caused by the bleeding.
Suspicious areas or lesions around the brain's ventricles may be present. This may be a sign of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), a condition in which the brain tissue around the ventricles is damaged.
The brain and ventricles may be enlarged from the buildup of excessive amounts of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This may point to hydrocephalus.
Abnormal growths may be present, which may point to a tumor or cyst.
Suspicious findings may be present, which may point to encephalitis or meningitis.

The kiddos are back to school today and the house is alarmingly quiet. In an effort to hang on to every last minute of our holiday break, we decided at the very last minute to hop in the car and head up north to Monterey, CA to visit dear friends over the weekend. Having been friends since junior high, we have a rich history and it was time for a visit to let our children play together and spend quality time as families. Monterey is a beautiful part of the state and it had been a while since we had been up there so the road trip was a welcome change of scenery. My two little ones are always up for a traveling adventure so we tossed some things in the car and we were off. Here are a few moments we caught with our camera phones.
Our friends have a beautiful home that overlooks Monterey with sweeping views. It was fun for the kids to search for deer on the property. It was also nice to enjoy the cold, crisp air.
The Monterey aquarium is probably our most favorite aquarium. There are so many hands on activities for the children and the gorgeous underwater animals are just awe inspiring.
My friend's darling children are younger so it was so much fun for my daughter to act a little bit like, "mommy" for the weekend. We miss them already.
We all couldn't take our eyes off of the jellies and my son was especially enamored. Beautiful.
And if you have young ones and ever visit this area, The Dennis the Menace park is FANTASTIC! So much for the children to do and talk about running off some energy!
We also were treated to a wonderful dinner at Casanova in Carmel. Delicious food and fantastic service if you are ever looking for a spot when you are there.
It's now back to reality, but I am actually feeling ready to jump back into our routine. I hope you all had a great weekend. I will be sharing some ways in which I am getting organized for the new year. Stay tuned for that.
And . . . how could I let the day go by without saying,
"Go Irish!"
And to all my Lyons girls, cheers to our Irish team! Be thinking of you as we gather with fellow ND fans tonight!

yep he's cool.
There are at least 10 other Filmation characters I'd want ahead of him.
One of the very few Filmation characters to appear in more than one episode. I think he could make an awesome MOTUC figure. He kinda reminds me of Magneto except substitute Magneto's magnets/magnetism powers and knowledge for Negator's electrical/electronics evil mastermind supervillain genius.
Oh and here's a sweet custom by Faceless One: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...d.php?t=182880 (See I do use the search feature, although it's not always my friend!!)

Negator is cool, and I think he would be even better if he were updated.
I want him to come with the Nerbs(sp?)
RIP Andy Conrad.
Negator would be a great villain to add to the MOTUC!
I'll have to re-watch his episodes, though. I don't remember much about him. Which ones is he in?
Etherian Rebel JOSH for the MOTUC (see my avatar)!
Nerbs, power me!!!!
(or is it Nerves ?)
RIP Andy Conrad.
I want this guy. i didn't know what his name was, but i support this guy.
He could come with the Sunstone from one of this episodes...
was Rohad (M@A mechanical science teacher) i that same episode?
I'm not against him, and I think he deserves to be included in MOTUC.
BUT I'd like to get figures with more tooling first (Scorpia, Octavia, Shokoti, Batros, Dragoon, Red Knight, General Tataran...).
Not one of my most wanted, but I'd love to get him eventually!
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
i think this would make a good figure that would grow on you.
very interesting. like the color & design.
reminds me of the blackstar villain.
He'd be cool.
Also...he stole Toy Frosta's boots.
Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.
You can join the Illumina Facebook page here!
I think he'd be cool in package with the pose in the second picture. He looks pretty menacing in that pic. The 4H would do a great job with him. I'm in.
Support Green Mini-Comic Trap Jaw in MOTUC!
Land Shark in MOTUC!!!!!! Do it Mattel!!! Do it NOW!!!!
Support The Power & Honor Foundation
I want him. I'm sure the Horsemen could do one heck of an update on him. Give him some transparent energy bolts to blast his enemies.
Is always good to have a villain in his fifties.
Hey, Negator is very much akin to Magneto in powers and looks (but let's not get too specific about similarities and dissimilarities) and a major part of Magneto's story was he lost his family in a Jewish concentration camp in WWII. He's definitely past his 50s and he's one of the greatest villains of all time.
I'd like him....but not until 2015 or beyond
He has my support too. I've always liked his character and he has a simple but cool design. He would be very easy to make. We need more stand alone villans in MOTUC - similar to Marzo, Lodar etc
I would really like this guy in motuc.
I love those independent villains.
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, Evil Seed, Lord Masque, Prahvus, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Horde Wraiths, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, Melaktha, ABC Giants, Stridor
I coulda swore there was another thread for this guy... but anyhoo- I'm chiming in with my need for this character to make it into MOTUC. Negator made quite the impression on me when I was a kid- his name and design and powers all made me think that he was an upcoming figure in the line, but alas... it never came to be. He's a must-have from the Filmation side of MOTU, and yes- he needs to come with his Nerbs! Those little guys always freaked me out- in fact, they all kinda look like they came out of Phantasm! It's the closest thing MOTUC will get to a Tall Man figure... LOL!
I really want this guy.
If another Filmation sub gos through I hope this guy makes the list.
Skeleton-Warriors, Ra-Jar, Spinwit, Rock Golem, Evil Seed, Lord Masque, Prahvus, General Tartaran, Hawke, Slob-Boar, King Agho, Hunga the Harpy, Sh'gora, Masks of Power Demons, Nocturna, Lizzor, Horde Wraiths, Sagitar, Crimson Fury, Lodar, Vizar, Angast, Negator, Melaktha, ABC Giants, Stridor
I really want this guy too

>>>>> US Evil horde Hordak/Leech/Mantenna 3-pack <<<<<
$$$$$ Email:firstname.lastname@example.com $$$$$
One of my favorite Filmation villains. I definitely want Negator, he's up on my want list of the toon villains. He was always an interesting villain to me and stood out along with Icer and Shokoti.
I think he did say "Nervs, power me!" Always liked that saying.

Features include:
I love these shoes! The footbed is contoured and so comfortable. I have a large bunion on my right foot and my feet are pretty wide, but these fit comfortably without rubbing. I usually wear a 10 or 10.5. I tried a 41 in these, but they were a bit too short and my toes hit the end. I exchanged for a 42, which is just slightly long but so much more comfortable. I have the black/gray, but really liked the cherry red, however they didn't have my size :-(
SO comfortable! The shoes do not hurt my feet and that really is saying a lot. They are cute and I would buy them again!

Tay-Sachs Test
Skip to the navigationTest Overview
The test for Tay-Sachs disease measures the amount of an enzyme called hexosaminidase A (hex A) in the blood. Hex A breaks down fatty substances in the brain and nerves. Tay-Sachs is an inherited disease in which the body can't break down fatty substances as it should, so the fatty substances collect in the nerve cells of the brain and damage them.
Tay-Sachs can occur when parents pass on a changed gene to their child.
- If the baby gets the changed gene from both parents, he or she will get the disease.
- If the baby gets the changed gene from only one parent, he or she will be a carrier. This means that the child will have one gene that produces hex A and one that doesn't. The child's body makes enough hex A so that he or she doesn't get the disease. But the child can pass the changed gene on to his or her children.
A Tay-Sachs test may also measure the amount of another enzyme, called hexosaminidase B. People who cannot make either hex A or B have a condition called Sandhoff's disease.
The Tay-Sachs enzyme test is usually done on blood taken from a vein or from the umbilical cord right after birth.
Why It Is Done
A test to measure hexosaminidase A is done to:
- See whether a baby has Tay-Sachs disease.
- Find Tay-Sachs carriers. People of Ashkenazi Jewish, French-Canadian, or Cajun descent who have a family history of Tay-Sachs disease or who live in a community or population with a high amount of Tay-Sachs disease may want to be tested.
- See whether an unborn baby (fetus) has Tay-Sachs disease. This is done early in pregnancy using amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling.
How To Prepare
You do not need to do anything before having this test. If you are having this test to see whether you are a Tay-Sachs carrier, you should tell your doctor if you have had a blood transfusion in the past 3 months.
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have about the need for the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results may mean. To help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the medical test information form (What is a PDF document?).
How It Is Done
The health professional taking a sample of your blood will:
- Wrap an elastic band around your upper arm to stop the flow of blood. This makes the veins below the band larger so it is easier to put a needle into the vein.
- Clean the needle site with alcohol.
- Put the needle into the vein. More than one needle stick may be needed.
- Attach a tube to the needle to fill it with blood.
- Remove the band from your arm when enough blood is collected.
- Put a gauze pad or cotton ball over the needle site as the needle is removed.
- Put pressure on the site and then put on a bandage.
How It Feels
The blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm. An elastic band is wrapped around your upper arm. It may feel tight. You may feel nothing at all from the needle, or you may feel a quick sting or pinch.
There is very little chance of a problem from having a blood sample taken from a vein.
- You may get a small bruise at the site. You can lower the chance of bruising by keeping pressure on the site for several minutes.
- In rare cases, the vein may become swollen after the blood sample is taken. This problem is called phlebitis. A warm compress can be used several times a day to treat this.
- Ongoing bleeding can be a problem for people with bleeding disorders. Aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and other blood-thinning medicines can make bleeding more likely. If you have bleeding or clotting problems, or if you take blood-thinning medicine, tell your doctor before your blood sample is taken.
The test for Tay-Sachs disease measures the amount of an enzyme called hexosaminidase A (hex A) in the blood.
The normal values listed here—called a reference range—are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. Your lab report should contain the range your lab uses. Also, your doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This means that a value that falls outside the normal values listed here may still be normal for you or your lab.
Enzyme measured |
Normal value 1 |
Amount in blood: |
Total hexosaminidase (A+B) |
9.8–15.9 units per liter (U/L) |
Amount in blood: |
Hexosaminidase A |
7.2–9.8 units per liter (U/L) |
- A person who has about half the normal amount of hex A is a Tay-Sachs carrier.
- A person who does not have any hex A has Tay-Sachs disease.
- In rare cases, a person may not have either the hex A or hex B enzyme. This causes a condition called Sandhoff's disease.
What Affects the Test
If you had a recent blood transfusion, you may not be able to have the test, or the test results may not be helpful. If you have a blood transfusion from a blood donor who has normal levels of hexosaminidase A, your level may temporarily be higher than usual.
What To Think About
- A positive Tay-Sachs test may need to be confirmed with other genetic tests. To learn more, see the topic Genetic Test.
- People who have a high chance of being a carrier of Tay-Sachs may want to have a blood test before they have children, to see whether they are carriers. People of Ashkenazi Jewish, French-Canadian, or Cajun descent, or those who have a family history of Tay-Sachs disease or who live in a community or population with a high amount of Tay-Sachs disease may want to be tested.

What CFO didn't face a baptism by fire during the economic crisis? Wild swings in currency rates, dramatic shifts in supply and demand, and the virtual freezing of the financial markets tested the mettle of even the most veteran CFO.
Hewlett-Packard's Cathie Lesjak was no exception. She ascended to the CFO role in January 2007, after nearly two decades in the treasury and other finance leadership positions at the company. As the global financial crisis escalated during the second half of 2008, the company was integrating its $13.9 billion acquisition of Electronic Data Systems (now known as HP Enterprise Services). When the crisis peaked, Lesjak was suddenly faced with severe cost-cutting measures, unprecedented uncertainty, and the full spectrum of crisis-related management challenges. Yet, a little more than a year later, the company announced its $2.7 billion acquisition of 3Com, signaling its intention to continue investing in future growth even during the challenging economic environment.
Lesjak recently sat down with McKinsey's Paul Roche, a partner in the Silicon Valley office, to recall the steps she took to ensure that HP could continue to meet its commitments to the market and to look ahead at the company's strategy. The interview took place in Lesjak's office at the company's headquarters, in Palo Alto, California.
Cathie Lesjak biography
Born in 1959
Graduated with a BA in biology in 1981 from Stanford University
Earned an MBA in finance in 1986 from the University of California, Berkeley
CFO and executive vice president (2007–present)
Senior vice president and treasurer (2003–07)
Group controller, HP Software Solutions (2000–03)
Controller and credit manager, HP Commercial Customer Organization (1998–2000)
Serves as a director of Neoware, a company HP acquired in October 2007
The Quarterly: What was your immediate response when the financial crisis hit?
Cathie Lesjak: Our business began to decline in late November of 2008, and by early December we were looking at a lot of different scenarios. The first thing we did was try to ascertain how bad the economy might get and how it would affect our financial performance.
The challenge was to pull together a big picture of all the moving parts, put in place additional measures, and, frankly, get everyone more focused on the tough environment. We started modeling more "what if" scenarios of what we thought could happen and what types of actions we would need to take. By mid-February, we had announced several initiatives. Some were short-term actions, such as cutting travel by almost 90 percent in all but our revenue-generating activities. It's interesting to note that a lot of that travel is never going to come back, even as things are getting better, because people have gotten more comfortable using our Halo video-conferencing solutions. So some things have changed culturally as a result of tough times.
In addition, most of our employees took a pay cut, which gave us an additional cushion. And what we ultimately did, which I think is a little unique, is we converted that pay cut to a bonus opportunity. At the end of the year, when it turned out that we didn't need the extra cushion, we paid bonuses that in the aggregate exceeded the total amount of the pay cuts.
The Quarterly: How did the mix of HP's business portfolio play out, in products as well as services?
Cathie Lesjak: Service businesses have recurring revenue, which makes them very resilient. In this respect, the EDS acquisition couldn't have come at a better time, because it gave us stability just when it was most needed. And our technology services business, for example, continued to do well through the first half of 2009 and only started to feel the impact of the downturn in the second half of the year. The printer supplies business is also very resilient, and in fact, if you look at the mix of hardware versus supplies in 2009, we had 60 to 65 percent of our revenue coming from supplies. Those are very high margin businesses, which also provides a certain amount of resiliency.
On the other hand, our PC, server, and storage businesses require a lot of operating leverage, so their operating profit was down almost twice as much as their revenue was in 2009. Obviously, the good news is that in 2010 we have an opportunity for that profit to come back as the economy picks up.
The Quarterly: You mentioned some of the modeling that you did. What have you done to the planning and budgeting process itself to build in new capabilities or new ways of looking at, for example, scenarios? Did you change that, or was this more of a crisis, in that you responded and moved on?
Cathie Lesjak: There was a real demand placed on the finance function throughout 2009. The challenge wasn't just the recessionary environment; it was also the currency volatility. The late November–December 2008 period was very challenging because we'd get new forecasts showing massive moves in revenue, and obviously therefore in profit. Even through mid-2009, there were still some pretty big month-to-month jumps from a forecasting perspective. Revising the annual plan multiple times to get a sense of what was happening from a currency perspective wasn't something we could put the organization through as often as we wanted, so we spent a lot of time coming up with new models to understand how the different businesses within HP would respond under different sets of circumstances. We were in a position to help senior management really understand the dynamics that were going on—which gave finance a bigger voice at the table.
It was a great learning experience for the business folks as well because the finance people couldn't do it by themselves. They had to go and talk to people, and by asking the types of questions that the finance function asks they got the business guys thinking as well. So it became a much more collaborative effort to deliver the new models and the new understanding of how businesses would respond under a variety of economic conditions.
The Quarterly: Can you give some examples of that?
Cathie Lesjak: If you go back to some of the modeling that I talked about, finance people were saying, "Okay, what happened in the past, when the dollar has either dramatically strengthened or weakened? How quickly did you either raise or lower prices?" Having those types of discussions brings a heightened awareness to everybody about how long it has taken to pass increased costs or savings through to customers in the form of higher or lower prices.
When we first started asking these questions, it wasn't like somebody said, "Oh, you know, for industry standard servers, it's three to four months. For PCs, it's a week." People didn't have those frames of reference. Now, after really thinking it through, there is a better understanding of what the "puts and takes" are for a business, as well as for the P&L. This is helpful to the business folks too.
The Quarterly: When you do budgeting in one of the businesses or in a function, do you have a process through the year where spending can be ratcheted up and down without having to do a complete replan?
Cathie Lesjak: We absolutely do, although it's not as if you start the year with a plan and build in the conditions up front. It really happens as the quarters evolve and the year unfolds that you start to think, "Okay, we've got room to make some additional investments that are going to be important to HP in the long term." In 2009, our strategy was to continue investing in sales coverage and R&D to put HP in a stronger position. We wanted to build in the confidence and the cushion so that we could make these investments and take advantage of the downturn, as opposed to being on our back foot the entire time.
The Quarterly: On another topic, did the financial crisis accelerate or change the way you viewed the shift of revenue and the shift of markets globally?
Cathie Lesjak: Longer term, not really. For quite some time, we've been focused on the fact that emerging markets were going to be a good growth opportunity for us—and they have been. In 2009, for example, China actually ended up growing. The first quarter was a bit tough, and we were concerned, but if you look at our fourth quarter, China grew in excess of 40 percent in PCs and more than 20 percent for HP.
The rest of the BRIC1 1. Brazil, Russia, India, and China. countries and the emerging markets definitely had a tougher time. But we still believe, in the long term, that emerging markets are where a lot of the growth will take place. For example, if you look at PC penetration rates in the emerging markets, they're a fraction of what they are in developed markets. So the opportunity is definitely there.
Now, no question, you've got to have the right products. We have set up R&D facilities in India, China, and other locations specifically to do development in local markets for local markets. We've got to design the right set of products, both in the premium and value markets, to make sure that we're targeting the overall market correctly.
The Quarterly: What does expected growth in China as well as in some of the other emerging markets imply for the size and staffing of the finance organization, the treasury organization, controlling, and so forth in those regions?
Cathie Lesjak: Two or three years ago, we concluded that we would need to staff emerging markets differently. Some of them are small, but complex and growing rapidly. If we used our normal rule of thumb in terms of the level and amount of resources that we would place in those countries, we'd end up with less experience than we actually needed there. We realized we'd have to staff these markets as if they were bigger countries, because of the complexity and rapid growth. Folks who are less experienced are fine if a market is growing on a predictable, relatively slow basis. But when business grows exponentially, you need more skilled, experienced people who have seen a variety of things.
So we've decided to overhire, from our rule-of-thumb perspective, so that we're able to take advantage of what each market is going to be, rather than what it is today.
The Quarterly: What effect has the financial crisis of 2009 had on the treasury department within HP?
Cathie Lesjak: There was a whole revamping of our thought process, especially in late 2008 and early 2009. For example, we used to rely heavily on S&P and Moody's and Fitch for their investment ratings, but now we need another layer of scrutiny.
Today, you want to look at a variety of indicators of credit strength, as opposed to just relying on a rating that comes out. Because, frankly, if you looked at asset-backed investments and money markets that invested heavily in asset-backed securities, the ratings in many instances—not in all—just didn't hold up. I mean, things that we thought were AA and AAA, they certainly didn't act like AA and AAA investments. And so, in addition to the ratings, we're looking at other filters, such as the credit-default-swap spreads, to figure out what we want to do.
There have also been a number of changes in treasury as a result of the financial markets in terms of what the opportunities are, what the yields are, and how much risk we want to take. It doesn't help that the yields are incredibly low right now. Almost no matter what you do—unless you go very risky—the yields are low, and I think that's impacting a lot of companies. I get a lot of questions from treasury organizations on what we're doing about the yields.
The Quarterly: What's your sense about the balance that HP's looking for between operating improvement and growth? Because clearly over the years, you've achieved some of each, but outsiders in the Valley would certainly look at HP and say, "Wow, the operational improvement has been tremendous." What's the right mix?
Cathie Lesjak: Getting your cost structure right is the enabler to growth, so we'll always be focused on both cost initiatives and growth. In 2010, we are definitely taking additional cost actions because we're always going to do that, but we're also making more significant investments to cover our total addressable market.
So the folks inside HP are going to hear a lot more about sales coverage in 2010 than they did in 2009. For example, we view the 3Com acquisition as more of a growth acquisition than a cost story, because while there are some synergies—the real long-term value of 3Com is to address more of the market, which includes both networking and data centers. Also, a good chunk of 3Com's business is in China, including a strong R&D presence that we can build on for the future.

Want to learn how to meditate? Or, have you tried at different times but just can't quite figure out how to make it work for you?
This four-class series is geared just for you. Specific, time-honored and easy-to-follow instructions will be given in three areas: body, heart/emotions and mind/mental states. Each week, specific meditation instructions will be given, with an opportunity to put them into practice and have your questions answered.
Handouts will be given at the end of each class, making it easier for you to practice that week's focus in the time between classes. You will also have an opportunity for contact with the instructor, so that your own specific issues can be addressed. There will be opportunities to share with others in the group if you choose, fostering a cohort-like, shared experience to encourage and support your efforts to learn and practice meditation.
Think of this class as a four-week "training camp"—a container for you to not only establish a meditation practice of your own but to also have a "team" to practice with and to draw encouragement from. It is much easier to put into practice any new skill when we have buddies to do it with.
Come see how the two factors of practiced guidance and cohort support can help you to establish a sustainable practice.
Yes, you can! Come join us!
