During an asthma attack, also called an asthma exacerbation, your airways become swollen and inflamed. The muscles around the airways contract, causing your breathing (bronchial) tubes to narrow.
During an asthma attack, you may cough, wheeze and have trouble breathing. An asthma attack may be minor, with symptoms that get better with prompt home treatment, or it may be more serious. A severe asthma attack that doesn't improve with home treatment can become a life-threatening emergency.
The key to stopping an asthma attack is recognizing and treating an asthma flare-up early. Follow the treatment plan you worked out with your doctor ahead of time. This plan should include what to do when your asthma starts getting worse, and how to deal with an asthma attack in progress.
Asthma attack signs and symptoms include:
Signs and symptoms of an asthma attack vary from person to person. Work with your doctor to identify your particular signs and symptoms of worsening asthma — and what to do when they occur.
If your asthma symptoms keep getting worse even after you take medication as your doctor directed, you may need a trip to the emergency room. Your doctor can help you learn to recognize an asthma emergency so that you'll know when to get help.
If your asthma flares up, immediately follow the treatment steps you and your doctor worked out ahead of time in your written asthma plan. If your symptoms and peak expiratory flow (PEF) readings improve, home treatment may be all that's needed. If your symptoms don't improve with home treatment, you may need to seek emergency care.
When your asthma symptoms flare up, follow your written asthma plan's instructions for using your quick-acting (rescue) inhaler. If you use a peak flow meter to monitor your asthma, PEF readings ranging from 50 to 79 percent of your personal best are a sign you need to use quick-acting (rescue) medications prescribed by your doctor.
Asthma can change over time, so you'll need periodic adjustments to your treatment plan to keep daily symptoms under control. If your asthma isn't well controlled, it increases your risk of future asthma attacks. Lingering lung inflammation means your asthma could flare up at any time.
Go to all scheduled doctor's appointments. If you have regular asthma flare-ups, low peak flow readings or other signs your asthma isn't well controlled, make an appointment to see your doctor.
Seek medical attention right away if you have signs or symptoms of a serious asthma attack, which include:
An overly sensitive immune system makes your airways (bronchial tubes) become inflamed and swollen when you're exposed to certain triggers. Asthma triggers vary from person to person. Common asthma attack triggers include:
For many people, asthma symptoms get worse with a respiratory infection such as a cold. Some people have asthma flare-ups caused by something in their work environment. Sometimes, asthma attacks occur with no apparent cause.
Anyone who has asthma is at risk of an asthma attack. You may be at increased risk of a serious asthma attack if:
Asthma attacks can be serious.
Be prepared for your visit to your doctor so that you can get the most out of your appointment. At each visit:
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time together. Some good questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
For adults and children over 5 years old, lung (pulmonary) function tests are used to check how well the lungs are working. Poor lung function is a sign that your asthma isn't well controlled. In some cases, lung function tests are used in asthma emergencies to help check the severity of an asthma attack or how well treatment is working.
Lung function tests include:
Peak flow. Your doctor may take a peak flow reading when you come in for a scheduled visit or for emergency treatment during an asthma attack. This test measures how quickly you can breathe out. You may also use a peak flow meter at home to monitor your lung function.
The results of this test are known as peak expiratory flow (PEF). A peak flow test is done by blowing into a mouthpiece as hard and as fast as you can with a single breath (expiration).
Spirometry. During spirometry, you take deep breaths and forcefully exhale into a hose connected to a machine called a spirometer. A common spirometry measurement is forced expiratory volume, which measures how much air you can breathe out in one second.
The results of this test are known as forced expiratory volume (FEV). Spirometry can also measure how much air your lungs can hold and the rate at which you can inhale and exhale.
Nitric oxide measurement. A newer diagnostic test, this exam measures the amount of nitric oxide gas you have in your breath. High nitric oxide readings indicate inflammation of the bronchial tubes.
To do this test, you exhale slowly into a mouthpiece attached to an electronic measurement device. This device is attached to a computer with a monitor that displays your test results.
If you're having an asthma attack, follow the steps in the asthma plan you worked out with your doctor. If your symptoms don't improve, seek immediate medical care.
Home treatment steps to stop an asthma attack generally include taking 2.5 to 5 milligrams of albuterol (ProAir HFA, Ventolin HFA, others) every 20 minutes for an hour. You may also use a different quick-acting medication. Generally, less medication is needed for children and in adults with less severe symptoms.
Your plan for treating an asthma attack at home may include oral corticosteroid medication such as prednisone. Ask your doctor if a plan for home corticosteroid treatment of an asthma attack is right for you.
If you use a peak flow meter to monitor your asthma, peak expiratory flow readings ranging from 50 to 79 percent of your personal best are a sign you need to use albuterol or other quick-acting (rescue) inhaler medication. Routinely checking your peak flow readings is important because your lung function may decrease before you notice any other signs or symptoms of worsening asthma.
If you go to the emergency room for an asthma attack in progress, you'll need medications to get your asthma under immediate control. These can include:
After your asthma symptoms get better, your doctor may want you to stay in the emergency room for a few hours or longer to make sure you don't have another asthma attack. When your doctor feels your asthma is sufficiently under control, you'll be able to go home. Your doctor will give you instructions on what to do if you have another asthma attack.
If your asthma symptoms don't improve after emergency treatment, your doctor may admit you to the hospital and give you medications every hour or every few hours. If you're having severe asthma symptoms, you may need to breathe oxygen through a mask. In some cases, a severe, persistent asthma attack requires a stay in the intensive care unit (ICU).
All asthma attacks require treatment with a quick-acting (rescue) inhaler such as albuterol. One of the key steps in preventing an asthma attack is to avoid your triggers.
The best way to avoid an asthma attack is to make sure your asthma is well controlled in the first place. This means following a written asthma plan to track symptoms and adjust your medication.
While you may not be able to eliminate your risk of an asthma attack, you're less likely to have one if your current treatment keeps your asthma under control. Take your inhaled medications as prescribed in your written asthma plan.
These preventive medications treat the airway inflammation that causes asthma signs and symptoms. Taken on a daily basis, these medications can reduce or eliminate asthma flare-ups — and your need to use a quick-relief inhaler.
See your doctor if you're following your asthma action plan but you still have frequent or bothersome symptoms or low peak flow readings. This is a sign that your asthma isn't well controlled, and you need to work with your doctor to change your treatment.
If your asthma symptoms flare up when you have a cold or the flu, take steps to avoid an asthma attack by watching your lung function and symptoms and adjusting your treatment as needed. Be sure to reduce exposure to your allergy triggers. And when exercising in cold weather, wear a face mask.

Case Western Reserve law dean takes shots from writer in
American Lawyer
Blog Entry:
January 17, 2013 2:37 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
"Doubling down on a losing hand is rarely a good move, yet that is precisely what
Case Western Reserve Law School
dean Lawrence E. Mitchell is doing."
That's the tough-minded first sentence of
this piece
, on AmericanLawyer.com, from Steven J. Harper, an adjunct professor at Northwestern University and author of the forthcoming book "The Lawyer Bubble: A Profession in Crisis."
Mr. Harper writes that Dean Mitchell "has made himself the poster child for deans in denial — the law school story of 2012" with a
New York Times
op-ed piece
last November and a Jan. 4
Bloomberg Law (video) interview
. (My Nov. 29 blog post about Dean Mitchell's original defense of law schools is
Last June, Mr. Harper notes, the
American Bar Association
released data showing that nine months after graduation, only about 50% of the law school class of 2011 had found full-time jobs that required a law degree.
In text accompanying the Bloomberg Law interview, the news service says the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects there will be 74,000 new lawyer jobs this decade — but American law schools will produce more than 400,000 graduates.
Despite those numbers, "it's not clear to me there's an oversupply problem at all," Dean Mitchell says in the interview. With so many legal needs of the poor going unmet, "finding different paths for people who truly want to be lawyers opens up all sorts of possibilities" for law graduates to find jobs, he tells Bloomberg Law.
"As support, he cited low-income people who go without legal services," Mr. Harper writes. Bloomberg Law interviewer Lee Pacchia then "asked him how debt-ridden graduates paying Case more than $40,000 in annual tuition could take on such work full-time."
"His response was less than persuasive," Mr. Harper writes. "It's a mistake, Mitchell said, to 'measure the worth of higher education by the dollar return on the investment.' Perhaps he has a point, but it's not really an answer to Pacchia's question."
The piece goes on at length with sections labeled "Cost Spiral," "How About Decent Jobs?" and "Optimism Untethered to Reality," so that should give you a sense of the tone of Mr. Harper's argument. If you enjoy academic food fights, by all means read this.
This and that
That'll pay for some free agents:
The Akron Beacon Journal
FirstEnergy Corp.'s
stadium right naming deal with the
Cleveland Browns
is worth $6 million a year, and it runs for 17 years.
Do that math and that's $102 million — on par with naming rights
in Indianapolis (20 years, $122 million) and Philadelphia (21 years, $139 million).
Up all night:
Forest City Enterprises
is proposing a "mixed-use innovation center" in San Francisco with up to 1,000 housing units, 2.2 million square feet of office space, and spaces to accommodate 275,000 square feet of artisans, retailers, designers, and boutique manufacturers.
The project at San Francisco's Pier 70 was unveiled to the public this week at a Central Waterfront Advisory Group meeting, the
San Francisco Business Times
In an interview with the newspaper, a Forest City senior vice president, Alexa Arena, says the developer is aiming for a lively, around-the-clock environment.
"We think to deliver an office campus of the future, it includes residential," Ms. Arena says. "The two are intimately connected. If you don't have a 24-hour living place, you are not responding to the talent and the kind of talent companies need to house."
Ticket to savings:
Cedar Point
in Sandusky is one of the amusement parks mentioned in
Wall Street Journal
about the perks offered to guests who stay at the parks' hotels.
"For travelers planning a theme-park vacation, it is increasingly valuable — although not necessarily less expensive — to stay at one of the resort's hotels,"
The Journal
says. "That is, a family may pay more to stay at a theme park hotel, but receive high-value, hard-to-get perks as part of a lodging package, which the major parks are increasingly offering to entice more guests to sleep inside their gates."
Park operators including Disney and Universal "are emphasizing exclusive benefits such as early park access and line-hopping privileges, as well as more room discounts and package deals," according to the story.
Guests who stay in on-property hotels at Cedar Point are allowed early access to some popular rides, including the new
roller coaster, the story notes. (
The Journal
doesn't say it but I will — GateKeeper looks like it will be incredibly fun to ride.)
Park spokesman Bryan Edwards tells the newspaper that guests also are eligible for the least expensive-available ticket price of $34 rather than $55. This week, the story notes, "Cedar Point introduced a payment plan option for guests, letting them spread out their lodging bill over four payments."

These results are impressive. They managed to achieve 30 to 70% speed with 1/10th or less of the manpower and only a few months of development... I wonder what this could become with 20+ full time developers working on it.
Phoronix: Benchmarking The Intel Ivy Bridge Gallium3D Driver
While Intel only supports their classic Mesa DRI driver when it comes to their open-source 3D driver on Linux, developed independently is also a Gallium3D driver for Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge generations of Intel graphics processors. In this article are benchmarks of the new Intel (i965) Gallium3D driver with Ivy Bridge HD 4000 hardware.
These results are impressive. They managed to achieve 30 to 70% speed with 1/10th or less of the manpower and only a few months of development... I wonder what this could become with 20+ full time developers working on it.
The question is whether this perf difference is really due to gallium or the driver backend pieces? And if it is gallium, this project can be a great opportunity to identify and fix those slow paths. I know, not so exciting for Intel, as they've got nothing to gain here.
Doubtful. I believe Nouveau is usually slower mostly due to re-clocking issues, and when it comes to R300-R500, the Gallium driver can beat the final catalyst driver that was released for those cards.
There may be a CPU-usage issue for faster cards, but there's ongoing optimization work to also improve the Gallium layer to reduce unnecessary/redundant work.
If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it's because of the shader compiler backend. Note that it's TGSI-based and named "toy compiler":
Now that Gallium supports both TGSI and LLVM IR (i.e. more than one kind), it probably wouldn't be too hard to add support for GLSL IR and drop in the classic driver's compiler backend. Less than a week, I'd imagine.
OA 0.8.5 uses fixed function rendering. Surely the shader compiler has little effect there?
Yep, I'm pretty sure that's it, and plumbing GLSL IR though Gallium would allow it to reuse the existing shader compiler backend that Intel has spent so much time optimizing.
However, i don't think Gallium support would be that easy. Right now i don't think it supports LLVM IR directly, it just allows translating TGSI into that before it goes to the driver. I don't think you'd want to go from GLSL IR -> TGSI -> GLSL IR inside gallium, which means you'd have to add the ability to remove TGSI from the pipeline altogether, and i think that's still quite a bit of work to be done before that can happen. Maybe not, though.
Gallium tries to translate everything into shaders. The fixed function calls get translated into TGSI, and then the driver is responsible for calling into the hardware correctly, which is generally going to be by creating shaders.Originally Posted by curaga
This does build on top of quite a bit of work already done by the Intel devs. For example, it shares all the same kernel driver code, and i imagine quite a bit of the hardware driver code was just copied out of the i965 driver.Originally Posted by kbios

Intel has some "egg on their face" and "foot in their mouth" to gain here:
1. if someone can finally prove that Gallium architecture is performant.
2. leveraging gallium allowed 1/2 guys to do what took 20 Intel engineers.
And users have much less chance of being denied features
simply because Intel chooses not to implement them.
Ah, the sweet satisfaction that comes from those simple words: "I told you so!".
It almost makes it worth the wait!

The Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle – NASA awards design, develop, and build contract
September 1, 2006 Yesterday NASA awarded the contract to design, develop, and build Orion, the primary next generation vehicle for human space exploration. Lockheed Martin got the approximately US$4 billion gig and now has the enviable task of creating the Orion - an advanced crew capsule design that will succeed the Space Shuttle in transporting human explorers to and from the International Space Station, the Moon, and eventually to Mars and beyond. Orion will be capable of transporting four crewmembers for lunar missions and later supporting crew transfers for Mars missions. Orion could also carry up to six crew members to and from the International Space Station. There is an excellent overview article on the NASA site here and an extensive image library here.

This is AWESOME NEW'S, IMHO!!!!!
First Star Trek and now Star Wars? It seems as if J.J. Abrams will get the keys the Millennium Falcon after all. What does this mean for Star Trek? How will the two universe/ fan bases co-exist with the same director? Many would argue that Abrams already made a Star Wars movie with his rebirth of Star Trek in 2009. Let's not get ahead of ourselves now... first the news.
USA Today and a Tribble loaded space freighter of other news sites are also reporting that Kathleen Kennedy courted Abrams heavily for the job. Deadline is reporting that "It's done deal with J.J.,".
"J.J. Abrams will direct the next "Star Wars" film for Disney, taking stewardship of one of Hollywood's most iconic and lucrative film franchises", an individual with knowledge of the production told The Wrap.
The screenplay for Episode VII is being written by Oscar winner Michael Arndt (Little Miss Sunshine). This will be the first script not overseen by Star Wars creator George Lucas. Abrams will be the third director to helm a Star Wars film, George Lucas directed four of them. Abrams will join Richard Marquand, who directed Return of the Jedi (1983), and Irvin Kershner helmed The Empire Strikes Back (1980).
We have our writer Maniacs and our director. Are you ready for 2015, the next summer of Star Wars?
The ST movie was a brainless, Star Wars flavored, action film dressed up as Star Trek. Sinnce Abrams prefers Star Wars, maybe it will be better. Then again, I don't want my Star Wars to be a brainless action flick either. I'd like a few thought worthy concepts and ideas with my explosions and lens flares.
I am absolutely ok with with this. I thought Star Trek was terrific and am looking forward to the sequel. I thoroughly enjoyed Super 8. IMO, no way he can do worse than Episodes I-III. I never watched Lost, simply because that's not my bag, but I don't know of anything Abrams has done that was bad.
Daaaaaaamn!!! Still seems like getting the film in theaters by May of 2015 could be a bit tricky.
Great news.
And Kara, watch Super 8 and you will see that he can do movies with heart and passion and still use SFX with a good story.
Let's NOT go down that old argument againt of the new ST Vs the old...pleaaaaaase....
New ST was different but very well adapted into modern culture. TDKR IMO has been the biggest personal upset. Very excited for this just worried that maybe Abrams is involved with projects with similar themes that may inhibit creativity. we shall see..
fuck yes, this is great . i really liked the new ST. movie super 8 was fun and now he gets this"" damn i can't wait ..and Kara, please wtf, are you talking about? ahh second that i don't care. this is going to be funnnn, ....

Delixe: Even if that's true and this was just some mix-up and even if they start adding this missing expacs you will still see the same level of hatred for EA. There are people on this forum who would prefer it if EA took all their games and just left becuse they think EA is somehow 'infecting' GOG.
i pretty much have my load of hate for EA, but oh by did relation shift in the last few years through activision, bobby kotick, and so much stuff thats basically killing gaming as a nice hobby i have problems buying stuff from some publishers, even if i really really want the game, there are publishers where i wont ever buy it before the price is significantly low, but in times like this, EA is far away from being one of the big bads

As others have said it fits tight. I wear a 7 1/8" hat and the product is snug. It has stretched with time and I find it most comfortable wearing it just below the nose. Breathing through it is not bad. It is what is is. Midly wind resistant, cheap and small enough to get under snug helmets. It does exactly what i need it to do, and I would recommend it for anything down to about 15 degrees.

I like how this balaclava looks. It makes you look like a ninja. I'm not sure about the fit though. If I try to wear it over my nose, it really squishes my nose down. Based on the picture, it looks like you're supposed to wear it over your nose. Maybe it is just for people with small heads?

- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Bought this for biking on the cold days but it's good to wear snowboarding too. The face hole is a really good size, fits under helmets no problem, stays dry, and the neck comes down at a really goof lenght.
Debbie C
How cold would you say this is good to?
Great for a small head/face
Fabric and weight is great. Unfortunately, cut is too tight. My one and only ride with it was uncomfortable due to the feeling that my face was being crushed. Would work well for a woman or smaller man. (I'm 6'2", 195 lbs.)

Governor of North Dakota
Current officer
The 32nd and current governor is Jack Dalrymple, a Republican appointed in December 2010 after John Hoeven resigned to become a U.S. Senator. Dalrymple is eligible for re-election in 2012.
The state Constitution addresses the office of the governor in Article V, the Executive Department.
Under Article V, Section I:
The executive power is vested in the governor... |
A candidate for governor must be:
- at least 30 years old
- a resident of North Dakota for at least five years
- a duly registered elector of North Dakota
North Dakota elects governors in the Presidential elections, that is, in leap years. For North Dakota, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016 are all gubernatorial election years. Legally, the gubernatorial inauguration is always set for the fifteenth of December following an election. Thus, December 15, 2012 and December 15, 2016 are inaugural days.
If two candidates are tied after the general election, a special joint session of the legislature shall cast ballots to choose among the two highest vote getters.

The Lieutenant Governor succeeds to the office whenever the office is vacant for any reason.
If the Lieutenant Governor is unable to serve, the Secretary of State serves as Acting Governor until the vacancy is filled or until the governor's disability is removed.
Additionally, under Article V, Section 10, and Governor who asks for or accepts any bribe automatically forfeits the office.
The governor has the power to sign and veto laws, and to call the Legislative Assembly into emergency session. The governor is also chairman of the North Dakota Industrial Commission. The governor is responsible for seeing that the state's laws are upheld.
The governor is commander-in-chief of the state's military forces, except when they are called into the service of the United States. The governor may prescribe the duties of the lieutenant governor. Additionally, the governor is responsible for presenting the state budget to the legislative assembly.
Other duties and privileges of the office include:
- Seeing that business of the state is "well administered" (§ 7)
- Addressing the legislature periodically on the state of the North Dakota and making recommendations for legislation (§ 7)
- Granting reprieves, pardons, and commutations and delegating that power within the confines of the law (§ 7)

It started with a climbing accident that left local climber and teacher Jim Barnes too injured to climb for a while.
Things did not improve when he stepped on a stingray and his foot got infected.
Not only couldnŌĆÖt he climb, he couldnŌĆÖt walk very far.
For a man accustomed to constant physical activity, it was a time of sheer frustration.
He decided to hop on a road bike and thatŌĆÖs when the love affair started.
A letter that would alert Mammoth Mountain Ski Area that it is ŌĆ£out of complianceŌĆØ with its federal permit to run June Mountain as a ski area is still winding its way through local, regional and Washington D.C. U. S. Forest Service offices and has not been delivered to MMSA, according to forest officials.
Thirty-five years ago Wednesday, something extraordinary in the course of human history occurred. A tiny, nondescriptŌĆöbut powerfulŌĆöspace-faring craft, called Voyager, took to the stars, loaded with greetings, images, music, and art gathered from across the planet Earth and imprinted on an old-fashioned record.
Its mission was simpleŌĆöto say hello to anyone, anything, that might be listening.
The Inyo National Forest, Mammoth Ranger District is announcing the beginning of the wind-fallen tree removal work in Reds Meadow Valley, for hazardous fuels reduction. The tree removal work will take place on approximately 220 acres and will be accomplished under a contract known as the Red Devil Stewardship Sale.
For safety, visitors to the Reds Meadow Valley are urged to not enter areas where tree removal work is in progress and to drive slowly on the Reds Meadow Road because of increased traffic associated with tree removal activities.
On Friday afternoon, if you were trying to drive up Canyon Blvd, you would have been surprised to see a sight unique to this town—a large gathering of mud covered teams dressed in strange but matching outfits all showering together in the middle of the road.
The Labor Day Doubles Tennis Tournament was held at Snowcreek Athletic Club on Saturday-Monday, September 1-3.
Blue skies and warm temperatures greeted the 73 players, their families and the many spectators who enjoyed the competitive matches over the three-day weekend.
Along with players from Mammoth, Swall Meadows, Crowley and Bishop, the draw sheets also listed players from Bakersfield, Southen California, Hawaii and Nevada. On Sunday evening tournament entrants and their guests enjoyed the playersŌĆÖ party hosted by The Bistro at Snowcreek.
After months of wavering, the Mono County Board of Supervisors voted Wednesday to fund air service subsidies, joining the Town of Mammoth Lakes and Mammoth Mountain Ski Area.
The Mammoth Huskies fell to Kern Valley, 44-26, Friday night at Gault/McClure Stadium, but it wasn't for lack of trying ŌĆö especially by senior tailback Tyler Wormhoudt.
Injured a week ago with a sprained knee, Wormhoudt was cleared to play on Wednesday, and boy, did he play on Friday night.
The Huskies' running back picked up a whopping 269 yards on the ground, on 31 attempts. That averages 8.7 yards a carry. He scored three touchdowns, too, In addition, he returned five kicks for 220 yards, totaling 489 all purpose yards.
But it wasn't enough.
Each Tuesday afternoon at the town tennis courts, a strange cadre of people, carrying odd racquets and yellow whiffle balls, take to the playing surface.
It is not the U.S. Open.
It is not tennis.
The people play ŌĆ£PickleballŌĆØ each Tuesday evening from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and theyŌĆÖre looking for more converts to the sport.
It is played with what looks like an oversized table-tennis paddle, on a shortened court. It is a doubles-only format, at least under the canopy of trees in Mammoth, and it looks like a load of fun.
Britt Cogan, facing an impressive national field in the Summer Biathlon National championships in Auburn last Friday, won the womenŌĆÖs division by more than two minutes ahead of her closest competitor.
Cogan, 25, arrived from Mammoth Lakes from Wisconsin four years ago but went to college in Iowa, playing soccer instead of cross country skiing in her home state.
As an orthopedics technician at Mammoth Hospital, Cogan met Dr. Mike Karch, the mastermind of the Mammoth Biathlon, who has been behind her training, both on snow and off.
MammothŌĆÖs Youth Football team does not have uniforms, is short of funding, and has a host of other issues facing the players and coaches this year.
But so far, playing well is not one of them.
The Little Huskies whupped up on Trona, 31-13 last weekend, with two players, Ryder Radcliffe and Ricky Johnson, scoring two touchdowns apiece and with Danny Longino scoring one.
More than that, the team held Trona to just 13 points, which was enough to put wind in their sails for their next game at Big Bear next weekend.
The Mammoth Lakes Repertory Theatre this week announced its season, beginning Oct. 4 with ŌĆśThe Marvelous WonderettesŌĆØ and ending May 3 with a return of the Long Beach City College Studio Singers.

REVIEW: Godzilla
Let's start with what's great about this latest version of "Godzilla", which follows the 1954 classic and the Roland Emmerich 1998 re-boot. Godzilla looks fantastic after all these years, though he's packed on a few . He has total cred. Also great: for once, it's not New York and L.A. facing apocalypse now. Instead it's Honolulu, Vegas and San Francisco. The CGI is awesome. The destruction scenes easily live up to expectations. Bryan Cranston and a blink-or-you'll-miss-her Juliette Binoche are the most impressive amongst the human co-stars. It's all downhill once they leave.
O.K. Here's what didn't work. You have to wait an hour (!!!) for Godzilla to appear. Instead , we have these two Cloverfield-like monsters on the move, driven by sex and fed by radiation, sucking the power from everything in their path. Aaron Taylor-Johnson ("Kick-Ass") is weak compared to Cranston (who plays his dad). Ditto the usually impressive in much smaller films Elizabeth Olsen. At least Olsen (yes, the younger sister of the mega-rich Olsen twins) finally gets her Hollywood pay day.
The Cloverfield-monster fights get boring and even B-movie-ish. The destruction: never so. Make destruction- not war!!!! Also , it's a hokey ending , though clearly paving the way for a sequel and maybe a franchise. And enough with the 3-D already!!!! Totally superfluous.

The conversation often starts with, �Where are your shoes?�
For many parents trying to get out the door on time in the morning, a child with a disorganized bedroom can be a huge roadblock. The clock is ticking. The bus is coming. And your offspring is searching for his favorite hoodie.
The day often ends with similar challenges: �Is your backpack ready for school tomorrow?� �Where are your library books?�
Getting a child�s room organized can be the first step toward smoother mornings and more peaceful evenings.
�It was nice to be organized 20 years ago,� says organizing consultant Kathryn Bechen, author of Small Space Organizing: A Room-by-Room Guide to Maximizing Your Space (Revell, 2012). But given how busy we are today, she says, �it�s become a necessity.�
Here are some experts� tips on decorating and arranging your child�s bedroom in ways that will simplify daily life.
Get them excited
No need for full-scale redecorating. An offer to rearrange items and perhaps add a few new ones will probably get your child excited enough to help shape up her space.
�Try to make it fun,� Bechen says. �Take one whole Saturday or Sunday for the whole family to work on it.�
Pare down
Eliminating clutter isn�t simple, especially when kids would prefer not to part with anything. Donna Smallin, author and creator of unclutter.com, suggests having kids help haul everything they own into the hallway outside their room. When the room is empty, have them bring back in only their favorite or most necessary things.
You can supervise: When all the necessities are back in, start discussing what might be good to give away, sell, or box up for storing in an attic or basement. Reassure the child that items in storage can always come out again later.
If the room includes a desk, keep it as uncluttered as possible, suggests Dr. Martin L. Kutscher, pediatric neurologist and co-author of Organizing the Disorganized Child (William Morrow Paperbacks, 2009).
Get a bin that holds hanging file folders to store finished papers that come home from school or pending homework. Another small bin can hold pens, pencils and a few other supplies needed for schoolwork. Otherwise, keep the desk clear.
Rethink the closet
To get children excited about actually putting things away in the closet, let them �paint it a neat color inside,� says Bechen. It can be as outrageous as they�d like; it�s hidden behind a door. If they love it and it feels personal, she says, they�re more likely to use it. (For kids who share a room, let each choose the color for one side of the closet.)
Then, work with their habits: If your child isn�t a fan of hanging up clothing, consider filling some or all of the closet with open shelving. Put bins or baskets on each shelf, labeling with words and/or pictures to describe what belongs inside.
You might prefer T-shirts to be neatly folded, says Smallin, but having them wrangled in large baskets is better than finding them on the floor. If shoes get misplaced, add a large crate to the closet where the child can drop them.
If you will be using the closet rod, Smallin suggests adding a small double rod that hangs below one portion of the main rod. Put items the child wears most often on the lower rod, so they�re within easy reach. Or use this extra rod for the clothing the child will wear to school this week. If those items are chosen in advance and all located in one place, you won�t spend time searching for them.
Get playful
Make straightening up fun. Consider buying one large trashcan for sports equipment and another to use as a hamper. Let the child label and personalize the outside. You can even add a plastic basketball hoop to the top of each trash can, so the child can have fun tossing items inside.
�Who doesn�t love to throw stuff?� asks Smallin.
Also, have the child decorate a special bin or basket where tomorrow�s clothes and shoes will go. Then choose a permanent spot for it. Each night, toss in everything your child will wear tomorrow (including the packed, zipped school bag). Better to find missing socks and debate which clothes are appropriate in the evening than do it when the school bus is on its way.
Use the walls
Kids are more likely to use hooks than hangers. So add lots of colorful hooks at your child�s level � not just one or two, but a whole row � to store hoodies, jackets and even pants.
Also consider hanging a shoe bag on back of the door, but don�t feel obligated to use it for shoes. Smallin says it can be filled with socks and underwear, small toys or anything else that needs to be easily located.
Another key item for the wall: a clock with hands. Kutscher says non-digital clocks make time a bit more tangible for kids, helping them notice the passage of time and hopefully stay on task. A large wall calendar that children can reach is also a great way to help them get organized.
Last item: a dry-erase board (WallPops makes one that�s a repositionable vinyl decal) where kids can keep a checklist of tasks for bedtime and morning. Write out the checklist with them, then praise them for using it.
Once you�ve done it
For the first few weeks, Bechen says, �Run through the drill. Tell them, �You come home, you put your things here... .��
Repeat the steps each day, as patiently as possible. And trust that in time, your kids will keep their bedrooms organized out of habit.
�It�s an executive function. It requires the ability to stop, plan, organize and actually execute a goal,� Kutscher says. As that ability is growing, parents need to gently guide the process.
�We take the safety net approach,� he says, �gradually letting the child master the skills, as we stand by as needed.�

Turkish Airlines Euroleague Scores a Slam Dunk for Inclusion by dedicating 24 Games to One Team Partner Special Olympics
.2012 European Basketball Week Events Across SOEE
Barcelona, Spain: The 2012-13 Turkish Airlines Euroleague season is going strong and Europe's most prestigious basketball competition is taking an early opportunity to promote social inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities as part of its acclaimed "One Team" social responsibility program.
Under the "Game 8" and "Game 9" programmes, 24 Euroleague games taking place the next two weeks (November 29 and 30, December 6 and 7) will be dedicated to the athletes of Special Olympics, the world's largest sporting organisation for people with intellectual disabilities and partners of One Team.
There are almost 200 million people in the world with intellectual disabilities. Many of them struggle for the opportunity to be integrated into society and in their communities, and even to receive proper medical care. Many are faced with discrimination, stigma and abuse that deny them their most basic human rights to health, education, and sometimes life itself.
"Once again, the Turkish Airlines Euroleague is demonstrating its commitment to using basketball to empower people with intellectual disabilities," says Mary Davis, President of Special Olympics Europe Eurasia. "Our athletes are thrilled for this opportunity and looking forward to meeting their Euroleague heroes." Just before the start of the 24 Euroleague games, which are taking place in different venues across Europe, basketball players with intellectual disabilities will appear on court alongside Euroleague stars in a show of unity and strength that sends a powerful message of respect, acceptance and inclusion for all.
The Special Olympics athletes will then enjoy that night's Euroleague games as guests of the host clubs. Some of the athletes will also have the opportunity to reveal their basketball skills to packed stadiums by taking part in drills and free throws during half-time or time-out breaks. The dedication of these 24 Euroleague games to Special Olympics is part of One Team's support of the 2012 Special Olympics European Basketball Week. Taking place from November 24 to December 2, European Basketball Week is one week of the year where the European basketball community are called on to play their part in expanding more opportunities for players with intellectual disabilities.
More information is available at www.euroleague.net or www.specialolympics.org.
Launched in 2012, the One Team programme combines the efforts and support of its partners to use the sport of basketball to create positive social change. One Team is the new corporate social responsibility (CSR) and marketing partnership program developed by Euroleague Basketball together with its member clubs and supported by Turkish Airlines.One Team is a best-in-class CSR programme, drawing from best-case examples in the world of sport as well as our own innovation.Visit http://www.euroleague.net/euroleague-for-life/one-team
About Special OlympicsSpecial Olympics is an international organization that changes lives through the power of sport by empowering people with intellectual disabilities, promoting acceptance for all, and fostering communities of understanding and respect worldwide. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Special Olympics movement has grown from a few hundred athletes to 4 million athletes in 170 countries worldwide, providing year-round sports training, athletic competition and related programs.

The Role of Boards of Directors in Corporate Governance: A Conceptual Framework & SurveyRenee B. AdamsUniversity of New South Wales; Financial Research Network (FIRN); European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) Benjamin E. HermalinUniversity of California, Berkeley Michael S. WeisbachOhio State University (OSU) - Department of Finance; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) April 10, 2009 Charles A. Dice Center Working Paper No. 2008-21 ECGI - Finance Working Paper No. 228/2009 Fisher College of Business Working Paper No. 2008-03-020 Abstract: This paper is a survey of the literature on boards of directors, with an emphasis on research done subsequent to the Hermalin and Weisbach (2003) survey. The two questions most asked about boards are what determines their makeup and what determines their actions? These questions are fundamentally intertwined, which complicates the study of boards because makeup and actions are jointly endogenous. A focus of this survey is how the literature, theoretical as well as empirically, deals - or on occasions fails to deal - with this complication. We suggest that many studies of boards can best be interpreted as joint statements about both the director-selection process and the effect of board composition on board actions and firm performance.

I would like to introduce to you the sculpture »You & Me« from the »Scrappies« figurine family. It represents love, affection and mutual commitment - emotions that everyone values and never lose their significance.
The »Scrappies« are inspired by everything you can find in a scrapyard: old nuts and bolts, tin cans, pipes, coils, parts of ball bearings.
But they are actually manufactured in a totally different, novel »3D printing« process. Each of them is made in one piece from fine metal powders.
I had initially made the »You & Me« sculpture as a unique gift for our 30th wedding anniversary, but when Christiane placed the Scrappies on her office desk, her collegues loved them so much that we thought why not share it and make it available to others.
Therefore, and for a limited time, I am offering you my work here, outside of the traditional channels of exhibiting and selling art. Each figurine will be customized with your initials of choice. I will make and ship a unique »You & Me« sculpture for every supporter, be it one or many.

It's been a while since I last watched TV with my laptop but somewhere along the line I've lost the power to watch DVB broadcasts in fullscreen. I'm using Kaffeine (xine engine) but most of the video output drivers seem to crash X or run slow.
I didn't put any thought in to it previously and it ran fine. Is there a preferred driver that I should be using or any other reason why I might have lost any hardware accelleration?
The hardware is a Macbook pro which has an ATi X1600.
8.35 has way better video playback acceleration than 8.36
Sorry for the late reply. I do have the latest drivers but it also seems as though I have no XVideo support.
I'm running Debian unstable and had to do something strange to get the drivers to work with Xorg 7.2 so maybe it didn't work properly.
Doh! I meant xorg 1.3
So are the drivers working for you or not? Did you do the "hack" to get X.Org 1.3 support? Otherwise you'll just need to wait a few days for 8.37.
Ah, turns out that fglrx wasn't even loading so I had to reinstall the drivers again. I'm not used to X failing over to use another video driver!
Video plays quite nicely now :-P
