US soldier convicted in WikiLeaks case granted name change
Published on Apr 24, 2014 4:28 AM
(REUTERS) - Former US soldier Bradley Manning, who is serving 35 years in prison for turning over classified files to WikiLeaks, can change the name Bradley to Chelsea to reflect her desire to be treated as a woman, a judge in Kansas ruled on Wednesday.
Manning's name is now legally Chelsea Elizabeth Manning, according to the decision handed down by Leavenworth County District Judge David King.
Manning will be issued a new birth certificate to reflect the name change. Manning's gender remains male but Manning identifies as a woman.
In a statement issued after the ruling, Manning said she hopes her actions help lead the military and other institutions to recognise the needs of transgendered individuals, including a need for specialised healthcare. "If I'm successful in obtaining access to trans healthcare, it will not only be something I have wanted for a long time myself, but it will also open the door for many people, both inside and outside the military, to request the right to live more open, fulfilled lives," Manning said.

New York City Plumbing Certification Training Program Overviews
There are a handful of schools in New York City that offer plumbing certification programs. Read an overview of the programs, requirements and admission info at three schools within 30 miles of downtown, and find out which school is the right one for you.
Plumbing Certification Programs in New York City
In general, journeyman plumbers need to be registered, and master plumbers need to be licensed by New York City to be employed. These require different levels of education, training and experience. Different schools in New York City give students the opportunity to study as journeyman plumbers and master plumbers.
This article looks at three institutions that offer plumbing training, all within 45 minutes of downtown, and the programs they offer. Statistics that prospective students should know, such as enrollment, school type and costs, are presented in a table. At the end of the article are the names of several other New York City-area schools that offer plumbing training programs.
- Students can earn a plumbing certificate through the Nassau Board of Cooperative Educational Services (Nassau BOCES), which is about 28 miles from the heart of the city.
- Just five miles from downtown, Empire State College offers an associate's degree program in conjunction with an apprenticeship program offered by an area plumbers union.
- Bronx Community College does not offer a degree program, but students can take part in a plumbing immersion program. This school is 13 miles from the city center.
Nassau Board of Cooperative Educational Services
While not a traditional college or university, the Nassau BOCES offers classes and certificates through its Adult Evening Program. Several vocational certificates of completion are offered, including Heating Systems Service Technician, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Technician, Trade Electricity and, of course, Plumbing. The Plumbing certificate program includes Green Certified courses.
Plumbing Certificate of Completion
NASSAU BOCES' plumbing certificate program is part of its Construction Trades division of certificate programs. It's a 258-hour credit program with 6 required courses including Plumbing I and II, Oil Burner I, Gas Burner, Solar Hot Water Heating and Blueprint Reading. The introductory plumbing course trains students in fitting pipes and understanding the organization of venting, drainage and waste systems over the course of 20 class sessions. The second plumbing course is a little more advanced, training students water heater repair, drainage system maintenance, pipe installation and New York City plumbing codes over 16 class sessions. It should be noted that both of these classes require students to bring some of their own tools.
Empire State College
The apprentice training program through Plumbers Local Union No. 1 gives students the opportunity to receive direct training from experienced plumbers. Students receive training through a special center located in Long Island City. The training center is part of the Harry Van Arsdale Jr. Center for Labor Studies of Empire State College. The apprentice training program is approved by the New York State Department of Education and follows guidelines set by the U.A. Training Department. A partnership with Empire State College allows students to go through the apprentice training program while earning an associate degree.
Associate in Science in Labor Studies
In total, students earn 64 credits for this associate degree. The apprenticeship typically lasts 5 years and students receive at least 720 hours of instruction. The training is meant to be hands-on so that students can gain professional experience as they prepare for careers as plumbers. As part of the associate degree program, students take classes in writing, literature, United States history and literature. Students who complete this degree program can seek employment as a plumber or transfer to a university to earn a 4-year degree.
Bronx Community College
Plumbing courses are offered through the college's Continuing and Professional Studies program, which allows students to enroll in career-technical classes that train them for future vocational careers. All of the classes are hands-on, giving students the opportunity to access tools and equipment that they would use on the job. Students must have a high school diploma before enrolling in the Continuing and Professional Studies program. Students are trained by professionals who have first-hand experience in the field as plumbers, electricians and carpenters.
Plumbing Immersion
The plumbing immersion program lasts 139 hours. Classes are offered twice a week in the evenings. Within the program, students take classes in shop safety, construction math, management and plumbing. All of the classes are guided by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER). By the end of the program, students can qualify for employment as a plumber.

Other Schools in the Area
Students who want to learn the plumbing trade have a few more options in the New York City area. Hostos Community College offers a personal enrichment class in plumbing. The school is located about 11 miles from downtown New York City. Another option is LaGuardia Community College, located about 7 miles from the city, and offers a Green Professional Building Skills program in plumbing. Finally, the New York City College of Technology offers an architectural technology bachelor's degree program and a specialized bachelor's degree program in facilities management that both include courses on plumbing and plumbing design. These programs can be ideal for someone wishing to pursue master plumber licensure.

The data relating to real estate for sale on this website comes in part from the Internet Data Exchange program of the MLSListings™ MLS system. Real estate listings held by brokerage firms other than Intero Real Estate Almaden are marked with the Internet Data Exchange icon (a stylized house inside a circle) and detailed information about them includes the names of the listing brokers and listing agents.

The information being provided is for consumers' personal, non-commercial use and may not be used for any purpose other than to identify prospective properties consumers may be interested in purchasing.
Los Altos Real Estate
Los Altos real estate was once comprised of summer cottages scattered between farms and orchards, with the original name of Banks and Braes. Like so many Bay Area cities, development really began when a railroad company purchased Los Altos real estate, in this case from Sarah Winchester, and started train service between present-day Los Altos and San Francisco. The city continued to grow after Southern Pacific Railroad began running five daily trains through town in 1908. In 1952, this Silicon Valley neighborhood was officially incorporated and became the 11th city in Santa Clara County.
The 2010 United States Census placed the Los Altos population at 28,976, with a significant majority of Los Altos real estate made up of owner-occupied single-family homes. Situated in the San Francisco Bay Area at the San Francisco Peninsula's southern end, Los Altos stands out among San Jose suburbs and San Francisco suburbs as a smaller city committed to its reputation as a quiet bedroom community. Unlike many other cities offering Silicon Valley homes for sale, Los Altos keeps a tight rein on commercial zoning, which is one reason Los Altos real estate is in high demand. With commercial establishments limited to downtown and a few small office parks and shopping centers along El Camino Real and the Foothill Expressway, those who choose Los Altos real estate can rest assured they will enjoy a sense of smaller-town living, while benefiting from easy access to arts and culture, dining and shopping nearby.
Families who opt for Los Altos real estate enjoy some of the best public and private schools in the state, many of which boast significant numbers of graduates going on to attend respected universities. This Silicon Valley neighborhood provides an array of well-established sports organizations, including the Bay Area's largest youth baseball program, along with soccer, basketball, cheerleading and football programs. Los Altos real estate owners also enjoy a history museum, historic homes, parks, and an array of celebrations and events throughout the year, including a pet parade, Halloween festival, fall festival, homecoming parade and farmers' markets.
Because the city is committed to maintaining its small-town feel, Los Altos real estate owners enjoy the benefits of large residential lots, a sound baffle that reduces noise for homes near the Foothill Expressway and a well-designed street layout allowing residents to avoid the downtown area. Situated in an area totaling just less than 6.5 square miles, all Los Altos real estate is close to shopping, entertainment and dining, but residential neighborhoods are purposely protected to ensure residents will continue to enjoy living in a bedroom community that offers a quiet respite from the nearby high-tech industry. All of this comes together to ensure that Los Altos real estate is always in high demand.

Above Average Australian Rainfall Places Pet Owners on Notice This Upcoming Flea Season, Announces Online Pet Accessories
Leading Online Pet Store, Online Pet Accessories, announces its distribution of Frontline Plus in order to control flea infestation as the warm weather and flea season arrives.
(PRWEB) February 21, 2012
Online Pet Accessories, the leading pet shop in Australia, has announced its release and distribution of Frontline Plus for all of its current and prospective clients, in light of the expected problems that the increased rainfall in the country will be bringing to its inhabitants.
According to the Australian Government´s Bureau of Meteorology, the amount of rainfall that came in during the past year has increased significantly – which may result to a flea infestation epidemic that may exceed proportions beyond those of the flea seasons experienced in the past.
The Bureau, using more specific numbers, has released its annual rainfall statistics for the year 2010-2011 of major Australian locations, like the following: Perth — which had an increased annual rainfall of 70.9% in 2011 compared to 2010, Melbourne — which had an increase of 23.15% for the year 2011, Sydney — which had 21.63% increase for the year, Cairns and Darwin — both locations having an increase in rainfall of 24.92% and 25.58% in the year 2011, respectively.
Unfortunately, this increase in rainfall in the country has dramatic consequences for pet owners and pets alike. This is because of the fact that with more rain, more moisture and humidity will be in the air, which is the perfect breeding atmosphere for fleas — thereby resulting to a flea infestation during the warm weather which will be harder to control.
And what makes this situation even worse is the fact that though pet owners opt to treat their pets for their flea problems accordingly — there are those who tend to respond a little too late — thereby putting their pets in a disadvantage and in danger.
Because of this seemingly bleak scenario, many pet owners in the country are now looking for the best ways to control and defeat this flea infestation problem as soon as possible. However, not all of the products that have come out today are as efficient and as effective as they claim themselves to be.
This is the primary reason why Online Pet Accessories released Frontline Plus – which is considered by many experts to be the most efficient solution against fleas. According to studies, this product has been specifically designed in order to kill fleas in every cycle — this made possible by first extinguishing the adult fleas on the pet, and then later on the killing of eggs as soon as they are hatched.
Frontline Plus´ special formula has also been found to be able to put larval and pupal development to a halt immediately — resulting to the prevention of flea reinfestation and stopping the outright contamination of the pet owner´s home. Indeed, in order to maintain the safety of one´s pet and to retain the safety of one´s home — it is essential that one is able to use only the most viable and effective flea product.
This is why every pet must be treated with Frontline Plus at least once a month. And to further ensure that fleas are controlled before the warm weather arrives — treatment of the pet during winter is also strongly recommended by experts.
Frontline Plus and other pet supplies are sold and distributed by Online Pet Accessories — Australia´s leading online pet store. If you have any inquiries or concerns, do not hesitate to contact them at (08) 9296 7544 or visit their website at http://www.petshop-online.com.au.

Welcome, skip to the content.
Despite the vagaries of the global economy, air travel continues to grow. The aviation industry is also highly competitive and rapidly changing, affected by constantly evolving passenger behaviour, technological developments and of course fuel prices.
Airports are not immune to this pressure as they have to compete for traffic, by offering excellent facilities at reasonable landing charges, while providing a good return on investment. This is true if the facility is procured by private interest or government.
Great design has the potential to significantly alter the profit equation for an airport, so should be a key consideration from the earliest planning stages. Aurecon has a unique ability to integrate airfield and terminal design in a way that minimises capital spend, but helps maximise revenue.
It is also the case that airport projects are complex, with multiple stakeholders and interfaces, often delivered with a requirement to maintain scheduled operations. Aurecon can assist with planning, financial modelling and procurement methodology, to deliver on time, to budget, with minimum disruption.
Aurecon has decades of experience in the aviation sector. From the kerb at the taxi drop-off, to the end of the runway, Aurecon contributes to the complete solution.
Aurecon is working with Perth Airport on all three of its Domestic Terminals and International Terminal 1. This project description refers to Aurecon's work with domestic terminal 2, designed to meet the needs of air services for regional Western Australia, particularly the resources sector, as well as some interstate services.

Tomorrow, March 1, the United States Senate will vote on Senator Roy Blunt's amendment to restore the conscience rights recently trampled underfoot by the Health and Human Services mandate, which forces religious and prolife institutions to provide insurance that covers abortion-inducing drugs. The vote comes two weeks after Senate Majority Leader Reid said he would allow a vote on the amendment before going back on his word and precluding the vote. Unless Reid has another parliamentary trick up his sleeve to delay the vote again, each and every U.S. Senator will have to go on the record tomorrow as for or against the liberty of conscience.
Senator Blunt's amendment tracks the language of the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act (S. 1467, H.R. 1179) and provides comprehensive conscience protection for those who object, on moral or religious grounds, to abortion-inducing drugs, sterilization, and contraception. If made law, the amendment will reverse the mandate the administration is forcing upon thousands of religious hospitals, schools, and social service organizations.
It's critical to note that Senator Blunt's amendment will not just preserve and protect conscience rights that our country has cherished since the time of our founding; it will also ensure that religious institutions and charities can continue to provide important services for our local communities. As Cardinal Francis George of Chicago recently observed, "Unless the Obama administration's mandate that all health insurers offer abortifacient drugs and sterilization is rescinded, Catholic hospitals and health care institutions in the United States will be gone in a couple years."
If the administration and its allies are truly committed to health care coverage for all, why force religious hospitals to close their doors by squashing their deeply held religious beliefs and imposing crippling penalties on them for noncompliance? Far from jeopardizing health care services, protecting the rights of religious hospitals to practice what they preach will permit them to carry out their religious mission of caring for the sick and infirm.
Indeed, how could a governmental bureaucracy possibly cover the loss of health care services Catholic hospitals, for example, provide? Approximately 600 Catholic hospitals in the United States account for 15.4 million ER visits, 86 million outpatient visits, and 5.4 million admissions. Add numbers from other religious hospitals who conscientiously object to abortifacients, and the tally is even more staggering.
Those who oppose the Blunt Amendment are trying to avoid the conscience issue at the heart of the matter by focusing on alarmist hypotheticals instead. Senator Durbin, for example, said, "Under the Blunt amendment, if an employer objects morally to vaccinations, then their insurance policy wouldn't have to cover a potentially lifesaving vaccination."
Seriously, Mr. Durbin?
What shred of data supports the notion that protection of conscience rights will lead any number of employers to deny children necessary vaccinations? Such alarmist speculations shouldn't be taken seriously. Moreover, any employee who disagrees with their employer's conscientious objection to one or more health services is free either to seek employment elsewhere or purchase insurance coverage on their own -- to the extent permitted by Obamacare. While this may appear burdensome to some, it is nothing compared to the burden the HHS mandate imposes on the right to freedom of conscience. It is nothing compared to the countless individuals and families who rely on religious institutions and charities for medical care, food, shelter, and education.
The Blunt Amendment is hardly the revolutionary act its opponents claim it is. The amendment is a simply a restorative, corrective measure; a way of returning conscience rights to those robbed of them by the administration and the HHS mandate.
The nation will closely watch tomorrow's vote on conscience rights. We will soon see just how seriously the United States Senate regards our first freedom -- the right to religious freedom.
As we approach the one year anniversary of the Hobby Lobby decision , where the Supreme Court held that the HHS Mandate violated the religious liberties of business owners, it's clear that the struggle to vindicate religious freedom and the right to conscience is far from over. Having said that,
Today the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that could cripple ObamaCare. The Supreme Court has a critical opportunity to reject IRS regulations that illegally authorize tax subsidies for purchasers of health insurance on federal healthcare exchanges. The ACLJ has filed an amicus...
After his "glib" apology before Congress this week for calling the American people "stupid," ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber attempted to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and … dodge every substantive question that came his way. He refused to answer even the simplest questions like how much ( millions )
From day one, we have warned that the real danger of Obamacare is not in the 2,700 pages of its text (as bad as they are), but in the hundreds of thousands of pages of rules and regulations that would flow out of that text. This week provides yet another example of that danger, and it is in the...

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon Senate has rejected a Republican effort to expand the tax guarantee that the state gave Nike last year to more companies. Senators rejected the effort in a party-line vote yesterday. Lawmakers last year voted to permit Nike to continue calculating its state tax bill based on the current formula, known as the single sales factor, even if the state changes the formula in the future.

Yes agreed Steve. I in fact have a Trek bike similar to ones used. The point is however that I was making is that there is only so much safety can be helpful in a race which pushed the limits of the racer. It is an evolving thing in the F1 and AC racers, but the sports will always remain unsafe by their very nature.

Ah...yet another gallery. Suuure. The message is filled with typos and grammar problems. They want you to process payments using your personal bank account, making excuses about why they're not willing to wait for their payments to clear. Trust us, folks, they're not going to clear AT ALL, because the payments are bogus, drawn from closed or nonexistent accounts, and it's all just a ruse to steal your money and identity. Just look at the WHOIS on the sender's IP address! When you add Nigeria into the mix (well known for financial fraud, sadly to say), it starts stinking up the place, don't you agree?Message text:
Hello Dear,
We are an european art company with an immediate opening for a part-time
book keeper/administrative assistant to join our team. You will be working
for us from home. Thames Gallery Of Arts islocated in Aberdeen, Scotland. We
exhibit Contemporary art paintings by emerging and mid-career artists,
including abstracts, landscapes and figures. Our Gallery initiates and
presents an extensive program for local and national exhibitions.
The Gallery's wide client-base includes private collectors, art consultants,
corporate art consultants, architects and interior designers as well as
business, government, diplomatic and social VIPs .Our Gallery offers the
client an extraordinary opportunity to acquire some of the most carefully
curated art in the contemporary, global art market. We are yet to open an
office in the U.S or have representatives in U.S; all our sales are made
seamlessly integrated through a company-wide computer network.
Thus we need to get payments for our products as soon
as it possible and about 90% of our customers prefer to pay through
Certified Cheques and Money orders based on the amount involved.
Unfortunately, we are unable to cash these payments from the US because most
international Cheques take about 10-14 working days for cash to be made
available. We lose about 75,000 USD of net income each month because we have
money transfer delays. We have decided to open this new
job position for solving this problem.
Please note that this job may take 2-3 hours of your time on a weekly basis
and will give you lots of free time to do other jobs. We are looking only
for the worker who satisfies our requirements and will be a competent
assistant. We are glad to offer this job position to you and the best of
your cooperation is highly needed.
1. Receive payment from Customers, No sales involved.
2. Cash Payments at your Bank or cash stores.
3. Deduct 10% which will be your percentage/pay on Per Payment processed.
4. Forward balance after deduction of percentage/pay to any of the
regional offices you will be contacted to send payment to.
Payments are to be forwarded either by Money Gram or Western Union Money
Transfer depending on the one more convenient for you.
Charges for western union/Money Gram will be paid by us and not from your
commission. Local Money transfers takes barely minutes or sometimes an hour,
so it will give us a possibility to get customer's payment almost
immediately .Also, all checks and money orders sent to you are all tax free,
so you do not have to bother about the Irs or any other government agency
when doing your taxes. Please Note that an Employment/Application Form will
be sent to you if you decide to accept our offer.
Thanks Once Again,
Dr.Ken Dominic.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in e-mail, or electrons, or black holes. Nobody sees Santa Claus but that doesn't mean there is no Santa Claus. No one has seen a quark either, or a computer bit, but that's no proof they aren't there. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor adults can see. Great new discoveries and wonderful acts of human kindness are made every day. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen or unseeable in this world.
If, in this age of science and technology, we have learned anything, it is that there is a veil covering the invisible world that not even the most powerful computer or space probe or microscope can penetrate. Only faith, hope, art and love can push aside this curtain and let us see the beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Oh, Virginia, there is nothing more real.
No Santa Claus? Of course there is. He has been with us now for a thousand years. As long as little boys and girls like you believe in miracles, Santa Claus will gladden the heart of childhood. And he will live forever.

30 October 2013 14:05 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Vietnamese state oil marketer, PV Oil, has awarded a tender offering a cargo of December-loading Ruby crude to SK Energy at a weaker premium, industry sources said on Wednesday.
The 300,000-barrel Ruby cargo, for loading on 14-20 December, was awarded to the South Korean refiner at around Dated Brent (Dtd) plus $4.00/bbl FOB (free on board) Ruby, sources said.
The tender closed on 24 October and had validity until 25 October, sources added.
Previously, PV Oil awarded a tender offering a 300,000-barrel cargo of Ruby for loading 25-30 November to SK Energy at Dtd plus $6.50/bbl FOB Ruby, sources said.
Ruby is a medium sweet crude with an American Petroleum Institute (API) specific gravity (SG) of around 35.5 and a sulphur content of 0.08%.
The Ruby oilfield is a joint venture between PetroVietnam and Petronas, the Malaysian state-oil company.
Petronas is the operator of the field with an 85% stake, while PetroVietnam holds the remaining 15%.
The Ruby oilfield includes two wellhead platforms and a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel.

City workers took on new roles during fire
CARLSBAD When the Poinsettia fire erupted in Carlsbad, firefighters weren't only the city workers thrust into action. Behind the scenes, City Hall employees took on new roles coordinating evacuations, comforting residents and providing information in what would become a large-scale disaster.
An information technology worker became a liaison officer at the city's emergency operations center; a public works analyst became a public information officer. The changes were all part of a prepared emergency response plan that kicked into place after the fire broke out May 14 in Carlsbad's La Costa neighborhood, city officials said.
"They did superbly," said David Harrison, the city's emergency preparedness manager, about Carlsbad workers who joined in the response.
The city was already on alert before the fire because of high temperatures and strong Santa Ana winds earlier in the week, Harrison said. Officials switched on the city's virtual emergency operations center — an electronic information hub at the police headquarters on Orion Way — when a fire started May 13 in Rancho Bernardo.
Harrison said he was in the emergency center Wednesday morning making sure "we were up" when the call came in about a fire just off El Camino Real. That's when he decided to staff the center and decisions were made to evacuate the neighborhoods in the immediate path of the blaze.
For the next three days, the operation center was humming with activity receiving information from the front lines, sending out messages to the public about the fire and coordinating evacuations, officials said.
In the room, there were city workers whose normal duties seemed far from the task at hand. One of them was Doug Kappel, an information technology worker who was suddenly coordinating with the Red Cross to establish evacuation shelters.
"I thought it was extremely rewarding because I knew that the work I was doing was helping people get the assistance they needed," Kappel said.
A resident of La Mesa, Kappel spent more than 12 hours a day at the emergency center during the crisis, he said.
"I didn't see my kids for three days," Kappel said.
Maintaining the city's computers may seem like a vastly different job than managing emergency supplies, but Kappel is also a Red Cross volunteer and U.S. Navy reservist.
The city also provides training for the jobs employees are asked to take on during an emergency, Harrison said.
"They are trained to do the work in that position, this isn't ad hoc," Harrison said.
Sometimes the work they are asked to do is somehow related to their field or have previous work experience that makes them able to perform those duties in an emergency, he said.
For example, Craddock Stropes works as an analyst in the public works department reviewing budgets or environmental regulations. But during the emergency, she was a public information officer, working with the city's Communications Manager Kristina Ray to send out news releases, in part because Stropes has experience in public relations. She was director of external affairs at the La Jolla Music Society before she joined the city in 2006.

My Rating
My family really enjoyed this trip. Children aged 14 and 11 said it was the best bit of the holidays. The pilots were friendly, spoke to everyone and took photos for us. There was enough time at each area to explore and take photos. If travelling with children it is a fabulous experience for all and not too long so they don't get bored. The bus tour guide was very efficient at pointing things out we would definitely go again.

Mood stabilizers may be used to reduce anger,
impulsiveness, anxiety, depression, or attempts at self-injury associated with
borderline personality disorder. A few medicines
commonly used as mood stabilizers are:
Mood stabilizers are taken by mouth as pills or
These medicines help stabilize certain brain chemicals
neurotransmitters, which control emotional temperament
and behavior. Balancing these brain chemicals may reduce symptoms of borderline
personality disorder.
Mood stabilizers can be combined with other
medicines (such as antidepressants) that are used to treat mood disorders to
help better control symptoms of borderline personality disorder, such as
aggression, impulsive behavior, and anger.1
Carbamazepine is an antiseizure
medicine that is used as a mood stabilizer.
It causes different side effects
than lithium. It can interact with other medicines, and you need to be watched
carefully when taking this medicine. Side effects of carbamazepine can include
a dry mouth and throat, constipation, unsteadiness, drowsiness, loss of
appetite, nausea, and vomiting.
People who take carbamazepine
need to have regular tests to measure the amount of carbamazepine in their
blood. They also need to have tests to check liver function and blood cell count.
Carbamazepine should not be used along with monoamine oxidase inhibitors
(MAOIs), because serious—sometimes fatal—reactions can occur.
Carbamazepine can interact with birth control pills (oral
contraceptives), making them ineffective in preventing pregnancy.
Lithium can be taken for a longer period of
time or used as maintenance therapy.
Side effects of lithium may include
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, trembling, and an increased thirst and need to
urinate. Weight gain in the first few months of use is common, along with
drowsiness and a metallic taste in the mouth.
More serious side
effects of lithium can include blacking out, slurred speech, thyroid
dysfunction, kidney dysfunction, changes in heart rhythm or other heart
problems, and an increase in the number of white blood cells (not usually
caused by an infection).
People who take lithium need to have
regular tests to measure the amount of lithium in their blood. They also need to have
tests to check thyroid function, kidney function, and blood cell count.
High blood levels of lithium can be life-threatening. Sometimes other
prescription and nonprescription medicines cause higher- or lower-than-expected
amounts of lithium in the blood. If you and your doctor decide you should take
lithium, it is important to tell your doctor about all of the other medicines
you are taking.
Divalproex is an antiseizure medicine
that is used as a mood stabilizer.
It can cause side effects such as nausea,
trouble sleeping, dizziness, or weight gain. Other, more serious side effects
can occur but are rare. They include liver problems, pancreatitis, and a severe
allergic reaction.
People who take divalproex need to have
regular tests to measure the amount of divalproex in their blood. They also need to have
tests to check liver function and blood cell count.
Do not stop taking these medicines suddenly. You should taper off of these drugs slowly with the help of
your doctor, to avoid negative and serious side effects. While you are taking
carbamazepine and divalproex, your doctor will need to test your liver now and
then to see how well it's working. If you are taking lithium, your doctor may
also test your thyroid and kidneys.
Mood stabilizers may interact
with other medicines. Tell your doctor all of the medicines you are taking and
ask about possible interactions.
FDA advisory. The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has issued a warning on antiseizure medicines and the risk
of suicide and suicidal thoughts. The FDA does not recommend that people stop
using these medicines. Instead, people who take antiseizure medicine should be
watched closely for
warning signs of suicide. People who take antiseizure
medicine and who are worried about this side effect should talk to a doctor.

Richard Mille has taken prices, and watchmaking, to a new extreme with his latest watch, which touts a $2.2 million price tag.
There's a reason Richard Mille watches are known as "the secret billionaire's handshake." The brand is largely known only among the billionaires (and the occasional nine-digit millionaire) who can afford them. But now Mille has taken prices, and watchmaking, to a new extreme with his latest watch, which touts a $2.2 million price tag. However, even if you can afford it, don't bother trying to buy one—it's already sold out. In an interview on CNBC Tuesday, Mille said all 10 of the RM 56-02 Sapphire Tourbillon watches he plans to make have already been ordered. The RM 56-02 has all the high-tech wizardry and physics-defying properties that make Mille watches such a status badge for the rich. To create one case for the watch takes 40 continuous days of machining and an additional 400 hours of machining and finishing for the different movement bridges. Mille makes only 3,000 watches a year, compared with the hundreds of thousands made by Rolex and others.

Guillermo Coria
I have been watching some of Guillermo Coria's matches from 2003 over the last week, which were his Round of 16 match against a 16 year old Nadal from 2003 Monte Carlo, and his semi final and final matches against Gaudio and Calleri on his way to winning the 2003 Hamburg title. They are great matches to watch, and tennis really misses his presence in today's game.
Here is a clip on youtube of Coria winning 2003 Hamburg:
Coria was a great player to watch with tremendous court craft and speed. I personally think that he had the best and most elegant drop shots I've ever seen.
One of the best performances I saw from him was his 6-2 6-2 6-1 demolition of Robredo in the Stuttgart final later that year. His thrashing of Massu in the Kitzbuhel final a week later was almost as good. In fact he won 32 sets out of 32 during that Stuttgart-Kitzbuhel-Sopot three-peat in 2003.
A very underrated match that he played in was his 4 hour 41 minute R4 5 set tussle against Zabaleta at RG in 2003, which was interrupted by the darkness and completed over 2 days.
Was one of "my" players... :(
Se te extraña Mago!!
His 2005 Rome final versus Nadal is the best clay court match ever.
He and Gaudio were such a terrible loss to the sport. They could actually push Nadal, Federer couldn't because of the high backhand weakness Nadal was perfectly designed to exploit.
Not to mention Kuerten, at 26 he was basically retired.
it's too bad he was doping. it's too bad his body broke down at later stages of big tournaments.
Coria is an excellent example of talent overriding structural limitation. Coria is short, probably the same size as Ferrer, but a more talented player. Specifically on clay, he just defends and constructs points more effectively. Or at least he DID.
Coria was the king of clay that one year, clearly the dominant force on clay. But he screwed himself in the RG final vs. Gaudio. Coria was killing Gaudio, who he had owned previously, for two sets then the third was close and at the end of the third the fans did the "wave" for like two minutes and it totally relaxed Gaudio who smiled and loosened up waiting for the crowd to stop the wave. When they stopped, Gaudio was a new player. he stole the third set, then Coria faked in injury in the fourth set. Earlier that year the two almost got into a fight in Hamburg because Gaudio accused Coria of faking an injury so this was a case of Coria giving Gaudio the finger. The injury miraculously disappeared in the beginning of the fifth set but Gaudio was relaxed and pumped up now and it became a battle. Match points saved. Gaudio finally won it, MCEnroe called it the biggest miracle he ever saw in a major final. Coria was never the same after this. He arrogantly gave away the fourth set and blew his one big chance at a major. Next year Nadal emerged and took over the clay courts. Coria's career went into a tailspin, no doubt because of regret for his idiotic ploy vs. Gaudio which blew up in his face.
But Coria was a great player, incredible consistency and technique. Machine like. He was the BEST. But then Nadal came and it was over for him. He had his one big chance, the French Open trophy was in his hand...but he blew it and let it get away.
I saw him playing in Houston at the US Court Championships, which were played on red clay at Westside Tennis Club. He was super quick and consistent, with great movement and real nice form. Very light on his feet. He was a very good player back then and I was thinking man this guy can play and is going to be a threat out here. That may have been 2002, the year that Roddick won it and beat Sampras in the final.
that french open final in 2004 was surreal, watching it at the time or a couple of months back on youtube,
long rallies on coria's championship points...coria at least lost the match points going for clear winners that just missed but really
...OH NOO.000OOOOoooooooooooo00ooo..:shock:
Coria has to be amongst the most unluckiest players of all time, really:
1999: Wins the French Open junior singles title, and Wimbledon junior doubles title.
2000: Coria's start on the main tour. He plays 4 main tour events, including the French Open.
2001: Tested positive for nandrolone in April and banned for 2 years as of August. Coria's ranking was around the 30 mark in this period. In December, a private lab shows the supplement he was taking was contaminated with nandrolone without listing it on the label. Coria sues the company, and years later, gets compensation.
2002: Is still banned for the first 3 months of the year, as the ATP reduced his ban from 2 years to 7 months rather than acquit him. He has to rebuild his ranking after missing out on 7 months.
2003: The only year of his career where he was playing excellent on the court and didn't have negative distractions off the court. He was in the ascendency as a player, particularly on clay. He won 5 tournaments in the year, including a Masters Series event in Hamburg, and winning 3 tournaments in 3 weeks without dropping a set from mid July to early August. He also got married in December 2003. The only real negative of the year was losing to Verkerk in the French Open semi finals.
2004: A mixed year. The high points included reaching the 2004 Miami final after twice coming back from the dead against Benneteau and Gonzalez, as well as increasing his clay-court reputation all the more by comfortably winning Buenos Aires and Monte Carlo, and fighting hard to win very tight matches in Hamburg against Almagro, Horna and Ljubicic, until Federer beat him to end the 31-match clay-court win streak. The lows included the crushing French Open final loss to Gaudio, and getting a shoulder injury at Wimbledon and needing surgery in August, forcing him to miss 3 months.
2005: Another mixed year. A very consistent year across all surfaces, one of only three players to reach at least the R16 at all 4 majors, great finals against a rising Nadal, particularly in Rome, but Coria lost them all. Coria clearly wasn't playing with the same swagger and confidence as before. Starting in July, the service yips starts becoming a major obstacle to his game. By the end of the year, with his results starting to go into freefall, it's clear that he has a problem.
2006: Coria's service yips problems get worse and worse, with only the occasional respite. Despite his problems, he managed a third round at the Australian Open and a quarter final in Monte Carlo, where he was winning matches despite serving 20+ double faults. His results then went well down, and after a first round retirement at the US Open, he was gone from the main tour for some time.
2007-2009: Sporadic returns, on both the challenger circuit and the main tour, including a final French Open appearance in 2008 after Roddick's withdrawal, but barely won any matches. Service yips problems still plagued his game. He retires in April 2009.
He also went through 11 coaches:
Gustavo Luza
Mariano Monachesi
Franco Davin
Alberto Mancini
Fabian Blengino
Gabriel Markus
Jose Perlas
Jose Higueras
Horacio De La Pena
Hernan Gumy
Martin Rodriguez
Coria was not uninjured in the fifth set at all. He was using up extra reserves of energy in an attempt to win.
God dang I miss El Mago.
Unreal clay court prowess.
Never liked his game but he would've been a better foil for Nadal on clay.

Adsorption of surface functionalized silica nanoparticles onto mineral surfaces and decane/water interface

- … show all 3 hide
The adsorption of silica nanoparticles onto representative mineral surfaces and at the decane/water interface was studied. The effects of particle size (the mean diameters from 5 to 75 nm), concentration and surface type on the adsorption were studied in detail. Silica nanoparticles with four different surfaces [unmodified, surface modified with anionic (sulfonate), cationic (quaternary ammonium (quat)) or nonionic (polyethylene glycol (PEG)) surfactant] were used. The zeta potential of these silica nanoparticles ranges from −79.8 to 15.3 mV. The shape of silica particles examined by a Hitachi-S5500 scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) is quite spherical. The adsorption of all the nanoparticles (unmodified or surface modified) on quartz and calcite surfaces was found to be insignificant. We used interfacial tension (IFT) measurements to investigate the adsorption of silica nanoparticles at the decane/water interface. Unmodified nanoparticles or surface modified ones with sulfonate or quat do not significantly affect the IFT of the decane/water interface. It also does not appear that the particle size or concentration influences the IFT. However, the presence of PEG as a surface modifying material significantly reduces the IFT. The PEG surface modifier alone in an aqueous solution, without the nanoparticles, yields the same IFT reduction for an equivalent PEG concentration as that used for modifying the surface of nanoparticles. Contact angle measurements of a decane droplet on quartz or calcite plate immersed in water (or aqueous nanoparticle dispersion) showed a slight change in the contact angle in the presence of the studied nanoparticles. The results of contact angle measurements are in good agreement with experiments of adsorption of nanoparticles on mineral surfaces or decane/water interface. This study brings new insights into the understanding and modeling of the adsorption of surface-modified silica nanoparticles onto mineral surfaces and water/decane interface.
