--- I have modified the code so that all the terminal outputs are done by one executable. I have attached the source files, after compiling type "make go" and the code will execute. The previous code output was from a supercomputer cluster where the two processes resides on two different nodes.

The news that Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX ) is now offering its employees the opportunity to pursue an online bachelor's degree at no cost has been met with accolades, with even a U.S. Congressman voicing his support and praising the company's offer of a "free online education".
It didn't take long, however, for the readers of fine print to point out that the word "free" is a bit of a misnomer. Additionally, the strong inference that the company itself would be paying the tab for employee degrees was also revealed to be quite overblown, with Starbucks claiming "full tuition reimbursement" that is actually a discount package provided by Arizona State University, its collaborative partner.
So, is the Starbucks College Achievement Plan a wonderful new employee benefit, or a public relations campaign? In my opinion, it's both – and here's why.
Limitations are many
The program's restrictions were outed very quickly by the Chronicle of Higher Education, which had interviewed CEO Howard Schultz and ASU President Michael Crow on June 15, one day prior to the program's official announcement. During the interview, Schultz noted that the college plan could cost the company "hundreds of millions of dollars a year".
Two days later, the Chronicle revisited the issue, with additional input from ASU's Crow. The "automatic, up-front scholarship" that Starbuck's Q&A webpage addresses doesn't come from the company, but is being provided by the university. Juniors and seniors would receive $2,420 per semester, while lowerclassmen will get only $1,267. Starbucks has pledged to make up the difference in costs for upperclassmen only; freshman and sophomores can apply for aid, including student loans.
Why the big disparity in benefits? The program is actually geared toward finishing a degree, rather than beginning one. This introduces another limiting factor for the program's participants: Employees with partial degrees will have far fewer degree choices open to them than those just starting out. For some, this may mean that, despite the 40 degree options ASU offers, they might not qualify at all.
A new option in the realm of higher educations
Although Starbucks has said that about 100,000 of its workers will be eligible for the plan, the actual number of participants will likely be between 4,000 and 12,000 for the first year, according to ASU's Online Dean Phil Regier.
If 8,000 upperclassmen enrolled in the fall, the plan would cost ASU about $384 million each year, and Starbucks $176 million, based on Crow's estimates. Eventually, Regier believes that as many as 20,000 workers may take advantage of the program.
These numbers are not trifling, nor are the investments by both Starbucks and ASU. For the latter's part, Crow notes that the program is well worth the university's time and effort, and that the school will still make a profit.
As for Starbucks, the fanfare surrounding the announcement makes it clear that the company expected kudos for the plan. The program's launch on June 16 in New York followed Schultz's ringing of the opening bell at the NASDAQ in Times Square, and featured his and Crow's participation, as well as that of U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
Despite the spotlight-hogging, Starbucks is doing its workers a good turn – even with the program's limitations. Though there seemed to be some confusion at the beginning regarding the up-front tuition remission policy, Starbuck's investment, even by ASU's estimates, will truly be in the hundreds of millions each year.
With the costs of higher education becoming more and more burdensome, having another option -- despite its limitations – helps to increase available choices. It also expands our concept of what a college education should provide: knowledge and training that spurs upward mobility, without imparting onerous debt on its participants. For that last part alone, both Starbucks and ASU deserve praise.
Another great investment in the future
The smartest investors know that dividend stocks simply crush their non-dividend paying counterparts over the long term. That's beyond dispute. They also know that a well-constructed dividend portfolio creates wealth steadily, while still allowing you to sleep like a baby.

The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard
By Robert E. Howard
(Del Rey, Paperback, 9780345490209, 560pp.)
Publication Date: October 28, 2008
Other Editions of This Title: Compact Disc, Compact Disc, MP3 CD, Hardcover
Shop Local
Enter your zip code below to find indies closest to you.
Here are Howard's greatest horror tales, all in their original, definitive versions. Some of Howard's best-known characters–Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn, and sailor Steve Costigan among them–roam the forbidding locales of the author's fevered imagination, from the swamps and bayous of the Deep South to the fiend-haunted woods outside Paris to remote jungles in Africa.
The collection includes Howard's masterpiece "Pigeons from Hell," which Stephen King calls "one of the finest horror stories of [the twentieth] century," a tale of two travelers who stumble upon the ruins of a Southern plantation–and into the maw of its fatal secret. In "Black Canaan" even the best warrior has little chance of taking down the evil voodoo man with unholy powers–and none at all against his wily mistress, the diabolical High Priestess of Damballah. In these and other lavishly illustrated classics, such as the revenge nightmare "Worms of the Earth" and "The Cairn on the Headland," Howard spins tales of unrelenting terror, the legacy of one of the world's great masters of the macabre.
Robert E. Howard, renowned creator of Conan the Barbarian, was also a master at conjuring tales of hair-raising horror. In a career spanning only twelve years, Howard wrote more than a hundred stories, with his most celebrated work appearing in Weird Tales, the preeminent pulp magazine of the era.
"For stark, living fear . . . what other writer is even in the running?"
–H. P. Lovecraft
"[Behind Howard's stories] lurks a dark poetry and the timeless truth of dreams."
–Robert Bloch
"Howard had a gritty, vibrant style–broadsword writing that cut its way to the heart, with heroes who are truly larger than life."
–David Gemmell
"Howard's writing seems so highly charged with energy that it nearly gives off sparks."
–Stephen King

The following adverse reactions are also discussed elsewhere in the labeling:
Dyspnea [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
BRILINTA has been evaluated for safety in more than 10000 patients, including more than 3000 patients treated for more than 1 year.
PLATO used the following bleeding severity categorization:
- Major bleed – fatal/life-threatening. Any one of the following: fatal; intracranial; intrapericardial bleed with cardiac tamponade; hypovolemic shock or severe hypotension due to bleeding and requiring pressors or surgery; clinically overt or apparent bleeding associated with a decrease in hemoglobin (Hb) of more than 5 g/dL; transfusion of 4 or more units (whole blood or packed red blood cells (PRBCs)) for bleeding.
- Major bleed – other. Any one of the following: significantly disabling (e.g., intraocular with permanent vision loss); clinically overt or apparent bleeding associated with a decrease in Hb of 3 g/dL; transfusion of 2-3 units (whole blood or PRBCs) for bleeding.
- Minor bleed. Requires medical intervention to stop or treat bleeding (e.g., epistaxis requiring visit to medical facility for packing).
- Minimal bleed. All others (e.g., bruising, bleeding gums, oozing from injection sites, etc.) not requiring intervention or treatment.
Figure 1 shows major bleeding events over time. Many events are early, at a time of coronary angiography, PCI, CABG, and other procedures, but the risk persists during later use of antiplatelet therapy.
Figure 1: Kaplan-Meier estimate of time to first
PLATO-defined 'Total Major' bleeding event
Annualized rates of bleeding are summarized in Table 1 below. About half of the bleeding events were in the first 30 days.
Table 1 : Non-CABG related
bleeds (KM%)
Clopidogrel N=9186 |
Total (Major + Minor) | 8.7 | 7.0 |
Major | 4.5 | 3.8 |
Fatal/Life-threatening | 2.1 | 1.9 |
Fatal | 0.2 | 0.2 |
Intracranial (Fatal/Life-threatening) | 0.3 | 0.2 |
As shown in Table 1, BRILINTA was associated with a somewhat greater risk of non- CABG bleeding than was clopidogrel. No baseline demographic factor altered the relative risk of bleeding with BRILINTA compared to clopidogrel.
In PLATO, 1584 patients underwent CABG surgery. The percentages of those patients who bled are shown in Table 2. Rates were very high but similar for BRILINTA and clopidogrel.

Although the platelet inhibition effect of BRILINTA has a faster offset than clopidogrel in in vitro tests and BRILINTA is a reversibly binding P2Y12 inhibitor, PLATO did not show an advantage of BRILINTA compared to clopidogrel for CABG-related bleeding. When antiplatelet therapy was stopped 5 days before CABG, major bleeding occurred in 75% of BRILINTA treated patients and 79% on clopidogrel.
No data exist with BRILINTA regarding a hemostatic benefit of platelet transfusions.
Drug Discontinuation
In PLATO, the rate of study drug discontinuation attributed to adverse reactions was 7.4% for BRILINTA and 5.4% for clopidogrel. Bleeding caused permanent discontinuation of study drug in 2.3% of BRILINTA patients and 1.0% of clopidogrel patients. Dyspnea led to study drug discontinuation in 0.9% of BRILINTA and 0.1% of clopidogrel patients.
Common Adverse Events
A variety of non-hemorrhagic adverse events occurred in PLATO at rates of 3% or more. These are shown in Table 3. In the absence of a placebo control, whether these are drug related cannot be determined in most cases, except where they are more common on BRILINTA or clearly related to the drug's pharmacologic effect (dyspnea).

In clinical studies BRILINTA has been shown to increase the occurrence of Holter-detected bradyarrhythmias (including ventricular pauses). PLATO excluded patients at increased risk of bradycardic events (e.g., patients who have sick sinus syndrome, 2nd or 3rd degree AV block, or bradycardic-related syncope and not protected with a pacemaker). In PLATO, syncope, pre-syncope and loss of consciousness were reported by 1.7% and 1.5% of BRILINTA and clopidogrel patients, respectively.
In a Holter substudy of about 3000 patients in PLATO, more patients had ventricular pauses with BRILINTA (6.0%) than with clopidogrel (3.5%) in the acute phase; rates were 2.2% and 1.6% respectively after 1 month.
In PLATO, gynecomastia was reported by 0.23% of men on BRILINTA and 0.05% on clopidogrel. Other sex-hormonal adverse reactions, including sex organ malignancies, did not differ between the two treatment groups in PLATO.
Lab Abnormalities
Serum Uric Acid
Serum uric acid levels increased approximately 0.6 mg/dL from baseline on BRILINTA and approximately 0.2 mg/dL on clopidogrel in PLATO. The difference disappeared within 30 days of discontinuing treatment. Reports of gout did not differ between treatment groups in PLATO (0.6% in each group).
Serum Creatinine
In PLATO, a > 50% increase in serum creatinine levels was observed in 7.4% of patients receiving BRILINTA compared to 5.9% of patients receiving clopidogrel. The increases typically did not progress with ongoing treatment and often decreased with continued therapy. Evidence of reversibility upon discontinuation was observed even in those with the greatest on treatment increases. Treatment groups in PLATO did not differ for renal-related serious adverse events such as acute renal failure, chronic renal failure, toxic nephropathy, or oliguria.
Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of BRILINTA. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of an unknown size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Immune system disorders – Hypersensitivity reactions including angioedema [see CONTRAINDICATIONS].
Read the Brilinta (ticagrelor tablets for oral administration) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Effects of other drugs
Ticagrelor is predominantly metabolized by CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A5. Ticagrelor is also a p-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate.
CYP3A inhibitors
Avoid use of strong inhibitors of CYP3A (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, clarithromycin, nefazodone, ritonavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, indinavir, atazanavir and telithromycin) [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
CYP3A inducers
Avoid use with potent inducers of CYP3A (e.g., rifampin, phenytoin, carbamazepine and phenobarbital) [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
Use of BRILINTA with aspirin maintenance doses above 100 mg reduced the effectiveness of BRILINTA [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and Clinical Studies].
Effect of BRILINTA on Other Drugs
Ticagrelor is an inhibitor of CYP3A4/5 and the P-glycoprotein transporter.
Simvastatin, Lovastatin
BRILINTA will result in higher serum concentrations of simvastatin and lovastatin because these drugs are metabolized by CYP3A4. Avoid simvastatin and lovastatin doses greater than 40 mg [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
Because of inhibition of the P-glycoprotein transporter, monitor digoxin levels with initiation of or any change in BRILINTA therapy [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
Other Concomitant Therapy
BRILINTA can be administered with unfractionated or low-molecular-weight heparin, GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors, proton pump inhibitors, beta-blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers.

EMU leaders speak of the life and lessons of an alumnus, Glen D. Lapp '91, whose body was found in Afghanistan on August 6, 2010. He was an unarmed health worker on a relief mission with 9 others who also were murdered. Lisa Schirch, PhD, EMU professor of peacebuilding and director of the 3D Security Initiative, talks about being guided around the capital of Afghanistan by Glen during her work-visits since 2009 and their last conversation a month ago on lessons the U.S. government should learn from humanitarian workers, especially the Afghans themselves. EMU president Loren Swartzendruber explains how Glen embodied the ethos of EMU and how some graduates of EMU will continue doing nonviolent service and relief work despite the obvious dangers.

Clint Eastwood and wife, Dina, separate after 17 years of marriage
It's been a bad week for Hollywood marriages.
First, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones announced their separation.
Now comes news that Clint Eastwood, 83, and his wife, Dina, have gone their separate ways, too, after 17 years of marriage.
Dina Eastwood, 48, confirmed the split to Us Weekly, telling the entertainment magazine that though they are close, she and Eastwood have been living separately for a while now.
A source tells the magazine that the Eastwoods amicably split up in June 2012.
That was just two months before Eastwood's now-famous conversation with an empty chair on stage at the Republican National Convention.
They have one daughter together. Eastwood has seven other children.
Us Weekly contacted Eastwood's manager, who said only, "I know nothing about that."
Publicists for Douglas, 68, and Zeta-Jones, 43, were just as terse in announcing their clients' split after almost 13 years of marriage.
"Catherine and Michael are taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage. There will be no further comment," they said today in a joint statement to USA Today.

Reaching Children in Need
hile School of Medicine pediatricians and UM/Jackson residents continue to provide the best care for their young patients, a national initiative has extended its mission to provide the best for these doctors. The Dyson Foundation has selected the Department of Pediatrics as one of ten programs in the country to receive a grant to develop programs focused on community-oriented and community-based health care.
The Anne E. Dyson Community Pediatrics Training Initiative will provide up to $500,000 per year for five years for School of Medicine programs that reach out to children in surrounding neighborhoods, such as the Pediatric Mobile Clinic. Initially founded to provide relief after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, the clinic addresses the unmet health needs of children in Miami-Dade County who live in poverty. Its services include free physical exams, medications, immunizations, and vision and hearing tests.
Programs like the Pediatric Mobile Clinic are so important to the families of our community who cant afford proper health care for their children, says Arturo Brito, M.D., director of the clinic. The generosity of organizations such as the Dyson Foundation gives us the support and encouragement that are essential in continuing our outreach and service to Miami-Dades underserved population.
The training arm of the Dyson Initiative will support Jackson Memorial Hospitals pediatric residency training program. UM Department of Pediatrics faculty, who serve as attending physicians in the training program at Jackson, will redesign the curriculum to broaden instruction on community issues that impact child health, including poverty, cultural diversity, immigration, violence, and crowding in public schools. They will team with local organizations, such as Miami-Dade County Public Schools, to learn how to best address the unique needs of children in South Florida.

Frank Beckerman Hears the Call to Help Others
rom the first transmission of his implantable hearing aid, Frank Beckerman considered himself the recipient of a miracle. Ive called it a revelation, Beckerman says of the device he received as part of a clinical trial at the University of Miami Ear Institute.
Now Beckerman has made it possible for the Ear Institute to bring the technology to more patients. Through a major gift to the institutes research program, he is helping UM physician-scientists to develop new treatments for deafness.
Beckerman is accustomed to bringing innovations to the public. He created Tops retail stores in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1948. A precursor to todays discount supermarkets, Tops brought one-stop shopping to mainstream America.
Beckerman was an ideal participant for the Ear Institutes clinical trial of the Vibrant Soundbridge, the first FDA-approved implantable hearing aid. An alternative to conventional acoustic hearing aids, the device eliminates the usual drawbacks of an external aidsound distortion, background noise pollution, and discomfort. When Beckerman visited the institute to address some of those problems, he didnt hesitate when his physician, Thomas Balkany, M.D. 67, Hotchkiss Professor of Oto-laryngology and chairman of the Department of Otolaryn-gology, asked him about participating in the study.
My personality is go, Beckerman says. So I went for it. Im so grateful for what the Ear Institute has given me, that I wanted to do anything I could to give something back.
Family Influence
family is like an organization. Guidelines, structure, monitoring, nurturance, and protection are provided by the leadership of the enterpriseparents, in this case. Each family builds its own tradition for how members relate with each other, under the leadership or lack of leadership by the parents. All members of the organizationsons and daughtersplay an important role. But when problems strike the family organization, you cant simply fire a troubled relative as you would a delinquent employee.
Thats when the Center for Family Studies steps in. Like a corporate consultant called in to revamp a companys operations, therapists from UMs Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences meet with families to teach them the communication skills necessary to work through adolescent conflicts. Such guidance can help families become a phenomenally effective treatment agent for troubled teens.
The family is a powerful influence in an adolescents life, explains José Szapocznik, Ph.D., director of the center. They have a tremendous influence on young family members behavior and development.
The Eckerd Family Foundation agrees and has given $750,000 to help Szapocznik and Olga Hervis, voluntary associate professor of psychiatry, bring their proven family therapy model to communities around the country. The foundation will support a three-year program in which the Center for Family Studies will create a training package for its Brief Strategic Family Therapy Model, one of four major methodologies in the country using a family-based approach to treat troubled adolescents. The model has received national recognition, including approval from U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson.
During the first year of the Eckerd-sponsored initiative, a training module will be created and 18 community providers from around the country will be chosen for its implementation. Trainers from each site will be chosen during the second year to learn the methodology and gain skills in educating others on the therapy techniques. The second and third years will bring trainers together for educational and collaborative conferences.
Sending its expertise out into community clinics has been a primary goal for the Center for Family Studies in recent years. Its establishment 30 years ago fostered 25 years of progressive research in developing the nationally renowned model of family therapy.
A Grandmothers Dedication to Research Endures
hen Ryan Dandes got a Hurricanes football signed by head coach Larry Coker, he couldnt wait to give it away. But rather than trade it for other sports memorabilia, the 13-year-old added the footballs value to research efforts at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. In memory of his late grandmother, Ryan began a fundraising project to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah while continuing her mission.
I loved my grandma, and she was always there for me, Ryan says. It was important to her to help fund research for people who were fighting the same cancer she did, even after she was gone.
After doctors told her she had ovarian cancer in 1990, Bernice Kraslow found few educational materials to answer her questions. In response, she created a forum at UM/Sylvester for women to support each other through knowledge and hope. Clinical staff dubbed her an honorary Cancer Education Consultant.
Sometimes doctors cant provide everything a patient needs, says Ramin Mirhashemi, M.D., director of the UM/Jackson Familial Ovarian/Breast Cancer Center. Bernice stepped in and, by being realistic, humble, and determined, helped to create an outstanding program.
Her family, which includes her husband, UM trustee David Kraslow, has established the Bernice Kraslow Ovarian Cancer Research Fund to foster learning and discovery to advance cancer treatment at UM/Sylvester. For information or to make a donation, please call 305-243-9088.
A Champion of Children
he University of Miami lost a dedicated supporter and friend last summer when aviation pioneer George E. Batchelor died at age 81 following a brief battle with lung cancer.
Batchelors relationship with the School of Medicine began when he came seeking a second opinion regarding the three-year timeline for survival that doctors gave his young son, Falcon, who suffered from cystic fibrosis. Under the care of Robert McKey, Jr., M.D., founder and then-director of the UM Cystic Fibrosis Center, Falcon lived far beyond his first doctors diagnoses. The 20 quality years we had with Falcon after his visit to the campus were a gift from the University of Miami that we will never be able to repay, Batchelor often said.
In appreciation for the care Falcon had received at the UM Cystic Fibrosis Center, Batchelor donated $10 million to the School of Medicine in the mid-1990s to create the Batchelor Childrens Research Institute. And at the buildings dedication ceremony in May 2001, he pledged another $5 million to establish the Micah Batchelor Endowment Fund, honoring his late grandson.
Through his generosity, Batchelor aimed to bring the same dedication and expertise he found during his sons treatment at the School of Medicine to families in South Florida and around the world. His support of the research that will one day advance clinical care offers peace of mind and hope to families with children suffering from a variety of pediatric disorders.
George Batchelors passion was for research and treatment of childhood diseases, says John G. Clarkson, M.D. 68, senior vice president for medical affairs and dean of the School of Medicine. He leaves a legacy of concern for our most vulnerable citizens that will provide improved health and well-being for decades to come.
Chef Carmen Gonzalez Cooks for a Cure
hat could be better than fine wine, a gourmet meal, and the warm company of friends? Treating your palate could help treat patients at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center through one of its newest donor campaigns, Chef Carmen Cooks for a Cure.
Carmen Gonzalez, renowned executive chef and recipient of an honorary degree in the culinary arts from Johnson & Wales University, established this $1 million fundraising campaign in memory of her close friend Anne Bennett, an executive at Southern Wine & Spirits, who was treated at the cancer center. After Bennett lost her battle with lung cancer last January, Gonzalez chose to honor her memory by lending her talents to support the facility that treated her friend with care and dignity.
The doctors and nurses at UM/Sylvester take time to not only look after their patients, but the friends and family there with them, too, Gonzalez says. They understood our pain and helped to ease it.
A tribute dinner for Bennett last May, accompanied by a silent auction, brought South Floridas best chefs to Coral Gables and brought in $20,000 to benefit UM/Sylvester. During the coming year, Chef Carmen will expand her recipe for success by preparing gourmet meals that will give new meaning to wining and dining significant donor prospects of the cancer center.
If you are interested in hosting an installment of Chef Carmen Cooks for a Cure in your home, contact the UM/Sylvester Office of Development at 305-243-9114.
Avon Calling
utheria Hollis sat alongside Route A1A, massaging her fallen arch, waving away pain as supporters drove by and honked their horns. And she still had 30 miles to go, marching with nearly 2,000 other brave souls who set out from Boca Raton around dawn one weekend last spring, walking 60 miles to downtown Miami in just three days to support the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade.
Hollis, a clinical research coordinator at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, was one of ten walkers from the School of Medicine who braved hard streets and hot weather to raise money to fight cancer. Orlando Silva, M.D., walked with bad blisters on his feet. Nurse Rose Boise spent the weekend apart from her husband and two small children. Each UM participant completed the trek into Miami-Dade County, helping to raise more than $2 million for the event.
The mission of the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade is to fight cancer in the medically underserved, a population regularly addressed at UM/Sylvester and the Taylor Breast Health Center (BHC) at Jackson Memorial Hospital. The Avon Foundation capped off the annual walk with the announcement of a $500,000 gift to UM/Sylvester and Jacksons BHC, citing their diverse patient populations and world-class physicians as the best to carry out its crusade.
One of the things that we pride ourselves on, which the Avon Foundation gift will certainly be contributing to, is that we are multilingual, multicultural, multiethnic, says Judith Hurley, M.D., assistant professor of medicine and member of UM/Sylvesters site-based breast cancer disease group, whose program was selected as primary recipient of the gift. Our practitioners are multiethnic in their background and multilingual in their abilities. And I think when your caregiver is like you, its a level of comfort.
Roderic Pettigrew Brings New Focus to Biomedical Imaging
ast summer, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) took a page from the book of Roderic I. Pettigrew, M.D. 79, Ph.D. A new institute was created to support research in bioengineering and bioimaging as a path to improve health care diagnosis and treatment. The mission has been Pettigrews own in a career dedicated to developing progressive techniques in magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. The NIH not only borrowed his philosophy for its new branch, it also adopted his expertise. Fittingly, Pettigrew has been chosen to serve as the first director of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering.
His contributions extend into the operating room through development of three-dimensional imaging of a patients beating heart, granting surgeons a view not attainable by even their own eyes. The list hardly stops there. Pettigrew has been involved in the development of cardiovascular MRI since its inception nearly 20 years ago. And with his new post at the NIH, Pettigrew looks to guide advances in biomedical imaging well into the future. The focus now is on implementing progression in bioengineering to offer earlier diagnosis and applying biomedical imaging across the board to improve public health.
The University of Miamis Most Distinguished Alumnus for 1990 found his place at the School of Medicine within an accelerated M.D. program for individuals who already hold a Ph.D. in a scientific field. Granted that degree in applied radiation physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Pettigrew came to UM to round out his medical education.
Aileen Marty Has Commanding Role in U.S. Security
ea to shining sea has become a way of life for Aileen Marty, B.S. 78, M.D. 82. She crosses the seas to bring her expertise to thousands of health care practitioners and aid workers around the world, and as a commander in the United States Navy, she also helps to safeguard them. Commander Martys most recent post has found her melding the two roles, serving the U.S. government in developing curricula to prepare the country for the now-too-real threat of biochemical warfare.
Expertise and coincidence came together in Martys career following the September 11 terrorist attacks. As surreal cases of what seemed like anthrax infection began to pop up around the country, a random encounter brought together Martys mother, Judy, and a family member of a Boca Raton mail courier who was ill with symptoms resembling those of inhalation anthrax infection. After Judy Marty suggested that the family contact her daughter, an expert in emerging infections and pathology, Dr. Marty was among the first to confirm their worst fear. Luckily, the diagnosis came in time, and the courier made a full recovery.
In a second twist of fate, Laboratory Aspects of Biowarfare, a journal edited by Marty, was released days after the September 11 attacks. The book was a huge seller.
Today, Marty teaches an intensive course on weapons of mass destruction at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland, where she also serves as president of the Faculty Senate. Her instruction extends to students from the German Navy and firefighters from across the United States.
This educator has found inspiration in her own teachers at the School of Medicine. World-class individuals in their respective fields seem to wind up as professors at the University of Miami, Marty notes.
Student Crowned Miss Florida USA
econd-year School of Medicine student Carrie Ann Mewha proved she has brains and beauty, capturing the 2003 Miss Florida USA crown in July. Mewha, who represented Broward County in the com-petition, plans to specialize in maternal and child health. She will compete for the Miss USA title in February.

Skirting EU law: The rebranding of incandescent bulbs as 'Heat Balls'
A German businessman is getting around a law banning incandescent bulbs by selling them under a different name.
Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 12:35 PM
Photo: James Bowe/Flickr
You gotta hand it to German businessman Siegfried Rotthaeuser, who came up with a brilliant run around the European Union ban on conventional incandescent light bulbs — he rebranded them as "Heat Balls" and is importing them for sale as a "small heating device."
Rotthaeuser's website is in German, but Google does a passable job of translation. First, he's clear that the Heat Ball isn't for lighting, stating (in German, the following is translated) "A HEAT BALL ® is not a lamp, but it fits in the same version!"
Further down: "The use of Heat Balls avoids the lack of heat. The intended use of heat Balls is the heating. "
The funny thing about this is that incandescent bulbs are fairly efficient when they are used as heaters, throwing off around 95 percent of the energy they draw as heat. In colder climates, using the bulbs for lighting isn't always an inefficient choice as the bulbs add to the warmth of the home.
The problem is that people will buy Heat Balls primarily as a way around the ban on incandescent bulbs. Rotthaeuser's Heat Balls could end up taking off in a market starved for the familiar warmth of the incandescent bulb.
The solution to this problem is a better lightbulb. We need LEDs and CFL bulbs that offer good light in an inexpensive package. We're getting there but are still more than a few more cycles of R&D away.
In the meantime, if you live in Germany and are jonesing for an incandescent, take a look at the Heat Ball.

If you want to read just one book on sex and conception, let it be this. This is all there is. Period.
Actually, even if you do not want to read a book on sex and conception, you must read Like A Virgin. Because, it is the kind of book that sets off orgasms — in the brain. As Prasad peels off layers, chapter by chapter, page by page, tiny frissons go off in the brain at periodic intervals as the mind grapples with the scene behind the curtain — the very secret of life. Sperm meets egg in union, and there is life.
Reading the book is like watching one of those well-produced documentaries on Discovery channel. Only, Prasad has none of the benefits of the television medium, not those 3D ultrasound incursions into the womb, nor the stunning graphics. But she has her super skill — her felicity with words, the ability to breathe life into them outside labs. Having worked previously as a cancer genetics researcher at Imperial College London, she moved on to the field of Science Communication and policy. Not very unlike how the sperm worms its way in its purpose to seek and join in union with that single egg, to create life.
This story begins, as Prasad says, with sex, 850 million years ago. But she begins in media res, in the bedroom of Catherine de Medici, wife of King Henry II of France. For 10 long years, Catherine was unable to produce an heir for the French throne, possibly because a physiological deformity in her husband, but nevertheless, bore the blame for it. (History records that subsequently she had 10 children).
Over the centuries, the situation has been quite the same for women. The past century, Prasad argues, every innovation in reproductive technology, from using anaesthesia during child birth to ovarian transplantation, has been met with criticism. Most have been seen as a threat to the traditional family — a change in the roles of men and women. However, that is not the central theme of the book. "Male plus female equals baby will not be our only path forward. As we conceive the inconceivable and take full control of how and when we bring the next generation into the world, we are sure to dislodge many notions of sex and gender along the way."
Futuristic ideas
In this future, it would be possible to create functional eggs and sperms in a petridish, as it were. Then, the ultimate solo parent would probably be a woman who might use two of her eggs, converting one into a pseudo sperm to fuse with the other egg. Enter the artificial womb, allowing ideal conditions for the foetus to thrive in. Then the woman can even keep working until the moment the baby is born. In the words of William Harvey, Ex Ova Omnia (Out of the egg, all things). Goodbye, man. Yes, that is how Prasad blows your mind. And, provokes too. That is probably what happens when a writer drags futuristic ideas out of the heads of crazy scientists onto the pages of a book.
A very well-written book, as you discover, again and again. For someone who has to deal out long strings of letters, the simplest being XX, XY, by way of explanation, Prasad's way with words stands her in good stead. Look, for instance, at the way she explains genetic mutations: Mutations are mistakes that occur while copying the DNA when the cells are dividing. Much like Chinese Whispers — the more a message passes around, the more distortion occurs. An excellent raconteur, she weaves these strings of letters through the fascinating stories of the "virgin mother" Emmimarie Jones, and her daughter Monica; the world's first test tube baby Louise Brown; the boy FD who had two X chromosomes, one too many for a boy, Jane from Boston who was told two of her three sons (all conceived naturally) were not her kin. Just as interesting are her attempts to explain the role of the placenta; what happens in the womb post conception; infertility; the various approaches to making babies — you don't even wrinkle your nose at the part that deals with parthogenesis (where the female gives birth untouched by a male, or virgin birth) of komodo dragons.
Indeed, going by Aarathi Prasad's book, human reproduction might too go that way. "The reproduction of the future is set to rewrite much of the fabric of human society." Like a Virgin is a little prelude to that revolution.

Wilshere will lead 'one day'
Sat, 26 Jan 2013 08:02:00
Jack Wilshere could become Arsenal's youngest starting captain on Saturday, but Arsene Wenger will not give him the full-time job just yet.
Thomas Vermaelen handed Wilshere the armband when he was forced off injured during the midweek victory over West Ham, and the midfielder is likely to lead the side out for their FA Cup tie at Brighton.
At 21 years and 26 days Wilshere is 56 days younger than Tony Adams was when he became skipper, and the England international has long been considered a natural heir to the likes of Adams and Cesc Fabregas.
Wenger said: "Honestly, Vermaelen made that choice (against West Ham) and I let him make it. It is always interesting to see when Vermaelen is out who he feels spontaneously should be the captain. I did not want to stop him.
"Wilshere is naturally a guy who is not scared of anything on the football pitch and that is usually the sign of a leader. He wants to win and shows you that.
"Of course he will be one of the leaders of this club - in fact he already is. A leader is somebody who does everything on the pitch to help his team to win. And he does that.
"If you are asking me if I will take the captaincy away from Vermaelen? No. But I think Jack will be captain of this club one day.
"It is important that the player gets to the stage where he develops first completely into an accomplished football player and then takes responsibility to take care of other people."

- [opening lines]
- Hank: You folks see that flashing sign up there? Now, that sign says: "Applesauce." No, no, I'm kidding. It says "applause." Ray, do me a favor. Could you flick that once? [crowd applauds] All right. Now remember. You're all a big part of the show, so the better you are, the better Larry is. You see this gentleman? He's giving me this sign and it says, "We're on in ten seconds." So get ready to have a good time. All right, here we go. This is exciting, isn't it?
Season 1[edit]
The Garden Weasel (a.k.a. What Have You Done For Me Lately?) [1.01][edit]
- Hank: That one Green Giant spot has been a real monkey on my back. I'll tell you one thing: If they ever ask you to put on a pair of green tights, no matter how much they offer you, you just walk away. Walk away.
- Larry: I'll remember that.
- Artie: Fine, you just go home. I'll come over there later; stick a red hot poker up your ass. We'll call it even.
- Larry: Okay. You have my address, right?
- Artie: And your poker size.
- Larry: The only reason I'm not running for president this year, I swear to God, is I am afraid no woman would come forward to say she had sex with me.
- Larry: Sonny Bono did not get elected to a Senate seat here in California. That's when you know you live in California, when you look on the ballot and Sonny Bono is running for a senate seat. I was really towards running for the Captain of Captain & Tennille, because evidently, he at least has some military experience.
- Larry: So how many of you saw Bill Clinton on Arsenio Hall when he played the sax? Well, good to know you're watching my competition.
The Promise [1.02][edit]
The Spider Episode [1.03][edit]
- Jeannie: [after Larry considers going through with the spider stunt on his show] Let me get this straight. You're willing to confront your fears if it's in front of 20 million people and for a laugh? So, can we start a family if I have a baby at The Greek Theater?

Party [1.10][edit]
The Warmth Episode [1.11][edit]
- Larry: I'm telling you, I have a real problem. Twenty people could say they liked me, Artie, and I am telling you I'd still be thinking: seventeen of them are lying, two of them probably have severe emotional problems and one of them is probably confusing me with Larry King.

Artie After Hours [4.05][edit]

- Stevie: Oh, man, I- she's a lesbian, I can tell, right? I've had sex with a lesbian.
- Artie: So you had sex with a lesbian. You gotta have sex with two lesbians, that's the whole point.

A fluvial geomorphic assessment seeks a scientific understanding of how a river's watershed and human land use affect the river channel. Rivers are constantly adjusting to many changes, from dam building or breaching to road and railroad building and even deglaciation. Understanding how these changes alter the width, depth, and form of a river channel is essential for identifying potential problems in a river system and identifying long-term solutions for channel instability.

Bank Stabilization Implementation and Assessment of the Connecticut River near Colebrook and Groveton, New Hampshire. Field Geology Services, 2006
Continuing efforts to address bank erosion problems along the Connecticut River have led to the permitting of a bioengineering project at the Colebrook Business Park, a detailed assessment of bank instability at the Northumberland Cemetery, and production of erosion hazard maps for each town in the study area.
Bank instability at the Northumberland Cemetery is related to: 1) the breaching of the Old Wyoming Dam 3.0 miles downstream of the cemetery; 2) the breaching of Nash Stream Bog Dam in the Upper Ammonoosuc watershed; and 3) the resulting sand bar development on the Connecticut River at the Upper Ammonoosuc River confluence.

Fluvial Geomorphology Assessment of Northern Connecticut River Tributaries (Mohawk & Upper Ammonoosuc Rivers) Field Geology Services, January 2006
A fluvial geomorphic assessment of the Mohawk and Upper Ammonoosuc Rivers, tributaries to the Connecticut River in northern New Hampshire, has identified the major natural and human factors controlling sediment delivery to the Connecticut River mainstem where bank erosion threatens the Colebrook Business Park (adjacent to the Mohawk River) and Northumberland Cemetery (adjacent to the Upper Ammonoosuc).
Final Report selected appendices: Lower Mohawk River Conceptual Design Options Mill Brook Conceptual Design Options
Restoration of the lower Mohawk River alluvial fan was completed in the fall of 2009.
Restoration planning on the lower Mohawk River, near its confluence with the Connecticut River in Colebrook, has led to a project aimed at long-term resolution of erosion at the Colebrook Business Park. This erosion is caused by sediment deposited at the mouth of the Mohawk after the channel was artificially straightened decades ago. Restoring the alluvial fan on the lower Mohawk, using engineered log jams and diversions, will help capture gravel and other sediment from the river's upper watershed before it can enter the Connecticut. Other benefits include waterfowl and aquatic habitat restoration.

Some Mississippi businesses are sounding off against a bill signed into law to protect the religious freedom of the state's residents.
The Mississippi Religious Freedom Restoration Act – which is to take effect July 1 – mirrors one passed on a federal level during the Clinton administration. It is designed, in part, to protect business owners who don't want to do work to promote homosexual activism. Upon signing the measure, Governor Phil Bryant expressed his hope that people realize it contains no element that the federal law doesn't have in it.
"It is the same discussion [that the] the government should not burden someone's religious freedom without a compelling interest," he stated. While the measure does not specifically mention "gays" or lesbians, homosexual activists have expressed concern that some people will interpret it as permission to "discriminate" against those whom they don't agree with or like.
In response to passage of that bill, owners who want the business of homosexuals are now posting blue, circular window stickers that incorporate the rainbow colors typically associated with homosexual activism.
Buddy Smith, executive vice president of Tupelo-based American Family Association, offers his take on the sticker campaign.
"It's not really a buying campaign, but it's a bully campaign," he says, "and it's being carried out by radical homosexual activists who intend to trample the freedom of Christians to live according to the dictates of scripture.
"They don't want to hear that homosexuality is sinful behavior – and they wish to silence Christians and the church who dare to believe this truth."
Smith offers a word of caution for those who do business with facilities posting the decal supporting homosexual activism. "If you do that, you are agreeing with these businesses that Christians no longer have the freedom to live out the dictates of their Christian faith and conscience," he tells OneNewsNow.
A website affiliated with the sticker campaign lists the Mississippi businesses that are participating. One of those listed is Jackson-based Milsaps College, which is connected with the United Methodist Church.
Editor's Note: The American Family Association is the parent organization of the American Family News Network, which operates OneNewsNow.com.
The Marketplace Fairness Act is still up for debate in Washington, and even conservative groups are divided on the issue.

COLUMBIA — Four people have gone to Columbia emergency rooms and clinics with heat-related illnesses since Wednesday.
Three people with dehydration caused by heat went to Providence Urgent Care for treatment, and Boone Hospital Center reported that one person visited its emergency room with a heat-related illness on Wednesday.
Jason Zerrer, a doctor at Providence Urgent Care, advised people to take precautions during the heat wave.
"We have not seen any people with serious heat illness such as heat stroke yet," Zerrer said. "My best advice is to stay inside during the hottest time of the day and make sure to keep hydrated."
