Start Your Day with This Superfood Trio/
Are you looking for an easy to prepare, tasty breakfast that's not the "same old thing"? What if I told you this breakfast contains three superfoods and takes just 10 minutes to prepare. Well it's true!
Eggs are a nutritional powerhouse, containing nearly every nutrient essential to humans. This high quality protein source is a great way to start your day. See my last post about how to make a decision when buying eggs. There are just so many choices these days!
Turmeric has remarkable anti-inflammatory properties and is an extremely rich source of antioxidants. The curcuminoids within turmeric (the major ingredient that gives turmeric it's bright orange color) are said to be 5-8 times stronger at scavenging free radicals than vitamin C & E. The anti-inflammatory properties provide amazing healing powers. So powerful that they can be used to help prevent or alleviate cancer, arthritis and Alzheimer's disease. The major ingredient in most curry powders is turmeric, so using curry powder is a great way to include turmeric in your diet.
Kale is another great source of anti-oxidants which work to savage free radicals and limit damage to your cells. It is one of the top vegetables in the ORAC list. This list measures foods' ability to scavenge free radicals. Additionally, compounds in kale are converted into isothiocyanates which have impressive anti-cancer effects.
Not a bad way to start your day...
Recipe: Basted Eggs Over Curried Kale
Basted eggs are similar to an over easy or fried egg except instead of flipping your eggs you cover them and allow steam to finish the cooking process.
Serving: 1 (easily multiply for additional servings)
Prep Time: 10 minutes
4-6 kale leaves
1/3 cup water
1/2 tablespoon butter or coconut oil (plus some for the egg pan)
1 teaspoon curry powder
salt and pepper
2 eggs
- Prepare greens: In a small to medium sized pan (with a lid) place 1/3 cup water and 1/2 tablespoon butter or coconut oil and heat over medium heat (the fat helps your body absorb antioxidants from the kale and turmeric). De-stem kale, tear into medium-sized pieces and add to pan. Sprinkle curry powder over the kale plus a pinch of salt. Cover for 5 minutes. Uncover and stir the kale. Cook uncovered for 3-5 more minutes.
- Prepare eggs: While the kale is cooking, heat a small to medium sized skillet (depending on how many eggs you are making) to medium heat and add enough butter to lightly cover the bottom of the pan. Allow the butter to heat for a minute but do not let it burn. Crack in the eggs and lightly salt and pepper. Allow the bottom to set and the white to become nice and bright (mostly cooked white, yet a little cooking on top remains). Add a tablespoon of water to the edges of the pan and cover immediately. The steam will cook the top of the egg. This process happens quickly so don't walk away. Over easy eggs will be finished in 30 seconds to a minute. A little longer for over medium and 2-3 minutes for a fully cooked yolk.
- Plate: Using a tongs or fork, place cooked green on a plate, leaving any extra juices behind. Place cooked eggs on top and enjoy immediately. Both greens and eggs cool down quickly and taste best hot!

I hope you enjoy your last moments of peace. Same schedule for GT's right?
I hope your ready for the start of hell
I don't know if I will venture in there so much unless the Bulls are handling their business. I would probably get de-modded if I went in there speaking my mind. Good luck to you sir.
If the Bulls lose game 1 all hell will break loose, the Bulls are suppose to win at home so I think it will be a lot calmer if they take care of business. Heat win game 1 and expect a lot of infractions/bannings. Glad I'm not modding the NBA forum.
I just got done reading where I left off in the NBA thread. Biggest waste of 20 min of my life. It's just back and forth. Everybody thinks their team will win. Though Bulls fans think it will be close and some of your guys see a 15 point blowout AT home in Chicago. I like most of the Chicago's people train of thought though, safe but optimistic. Your guys are just like we got this in 3 games by 20 points a game! Either way this place is going to be unbearable whenever the series is over.
dude, the NBA forums in general are starting to really wear on me. I don't even feel like posting in there the majority of the time.
yep, I won't be posting in there. What is the point?
What you did was good.

The Pros and Cons of Going on 'Shark Tank'
Con: "Keeping up with the fast pace of growth is difficult."
Hartwick of Surfset Fitness: "The exposure is good and bad. When that many people see your product, it invites a lot of business you're probably not set up to deliver on. It took us six months to handle the regular demand that we have now. Asking people to wait for products that aren't quite ready is difficult, too."
Dallas Robinson, co-founder of Kisstixx Lip Balm: The exposure was fast and immediate. The website was full of orders. We started getting international sales inquiries. We didn't have the bandwidth to deal with 13 or 14 countries' regulations.
Noonan of Wicked Good Cupcakes: Our business has grown 500 percent since we aired. Having to scale up and be ready and not knowing at what point we were going to level off at was hard. We had to deal with customer service not being ready and not having enough staff. We had to change our website so it was more responsive.

One Step Forward…
Written by Jeff Thredgold, President, Thredgold Economic Associates
November 11
The October U.S. employment report was a mix of good news and bad news…mostly bad. However, a number of data points within the report provide more support for the notion that U.S. economic growth has returned, with prospects for reasonable (if not exciting) economic performance during 2010 and 2011.
First of all, the nation's unemployment (jobless) rate usually continues to rise and job losses typically continue to be reported during the first stages of an economic rebound. This was especially true following the conclusion of the two prior recessions—each lasting eight months—during 1990-91 and during much of 2001. No differences this time around the economic cycle.
Employers embraced a "shoot first, ask questions later" approach to job eliminations late last year and during 2009's first few months as the bottom fell out of the economy. Such employers typically take a wait and see attitude regarding new hiring when crystal ball gazers (lowly economists) argue that the economy has changed directions. Layoffs continue, although they do slow down.
The most newsworthy (and painful) item within the latest employment report was the sharp rise in the jobless rate to 10.2% in October—the highest since 1983—versus September's 9.8% rate. While the consensus view of forecasting economists had expected a 10.2% rate to be reported sometime during the next few months, the rapid jump in just one month was a surprise.
The jump occurred even as reported job losses during October (down 190,000 jobs) were very close to expectations (down 175,000 jobs). Better news saw previously reported job losses of the two prior months reduced by 91,000 positions.
While of no consolation to the tens of thousands of people who lost their jobs in October, the labor market IS getting better. Job losses during 2009's first three months averaged 691,000 monthly. Average losses over the past three months averaged 188,000 monthly…a 73% decline!
The U.S. economy has now lost jobs for 22 consecutive months, the most painful period since the Great Depression. However, the plunge in employment…especially during the past 12 months…suggests that job gains could occur sooner rather than later in this economic recovery. As noted before, inventories of goods on the shelves and in warehouses are now so slim as to require a significant rise in output (and hopefully hiring) in coming quarters.
Different Stories
October was another of those months where the two primary pieces of information (the jobless rate and the employment change) told somewhat different stories. As before, the problem rests with the data coming from two different surveys.
The employment data comes from a monthly survey of roughly 400,000 medium- and large-size businesses. It is the more complete of the two surveys.
The unemployment rate comes from a monthly survey of roughly 60,000 households. The October spike in the unemployment rate was tied to a substantial drop in the number of people who describe themselves as self-employed, as well as a decline in the number of teenagers who have jobs (CNNMoney.com). Estimates of changes in teen employment and the self-employed are simply not measured very well in the household survey.
Teen Experience
The spike in the jobless rate for teenagers is especially worrisome. The current teenage jobless rate…(Note: this only includes those teens actively seeking jobs) is 27.6%, the highest on record.
Extended high levels of teen unemployment mean that thousands of potential younger workers don't get a chance to develop workplace skills. They don't get a chance to show what they can do to merit higher incomes. They don't get, and may never get, that initial job that can soon lead to higher earnings potential and lifelong success in the workplace (The New York Times).
Better News
In addition to the revised data indicating 91,000 fewer jobs lost in August and September, the first meaningful rise in two years in "temp" employment (up 34,000 jobs) was important. Employers usually bring on temporary workers before adding to permanent payrolls. The data is one more indicator of a likely rise in overall payrolls sooner rather than later.
Also, average hourly wages grew more rapidly than during the month before. The 0.3% rise (up five cents) to $18.72 hourly was better than the one cent rise during September. Still, the 2.4% rise of the past 12 months was the smallest year-over-year gain in five years.
Simply Ugly
There's no getting around the fact that much of the October data was depressing…
More Productive Workers
In addition, the U.S. Labor Department reported last week that the average non-farm worker's output (productivity) rose at a 9.5% annual rate during 2009's third quarter. When combined with the 6.9% annualized productivity increase during the second quarter, it represented the strongest six-month productivity growth pace since 1961 (The Wall Street Journal).
Strong productivity gains are good news in terms of keeping the U.S. workforce competitive with that of the world. Strong productivity gains also help keep inflation in check. But strong productivity gains mean that employers are getting better performance…greater output…from existing workers, negating for a time the need to add new workers.
Cause…and Effect
Given Administration and Congressional desire for a greater and greater role in our lives…government-mandated health care changes that will only add to business and health care costs…proposed "cap and trade" legislation that will only add to business costs…and an anti-business fervor from all too many in Washington, one can hardly blame businesses for a lack of new hiring.

Everything you need to understand or teach The Return of the King by J. R. R. Tolkien.
The Return of the King is the final book in Tolkien's trilogy The Lord of the Rings. The story
opens as Gandalf and Pippin are headed east to Minas Tirith, picking up immediately where the
previous story, The Two Towers, left off. In Minas Tirith, the two meet Denethor, and Pippin
offers him his sword in service of Gondor out of appreciation for the sacrifice Boromir made for
the Hobbits.

Darren Schick grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania but now also lives in Manhattan, where he sells expensive china and crystal stemware to some of the nation's top retailers.
When Ward and Schick met for the experiment, "Primetime" told them that they were about to compete. Both were going to try to connect with someone they had never met.
But connecting to that person didn't mean finding them -- that would have been too easy. The challenge was to link up by creating a human chain of contacts that ended with their "target," a man named Petey Pierre.
Pierre lives in Bedford Stuyvesant, also known as Bed-Stuy, a neighborhood of Brooklyn that has little in common with the areas Ward and Schick call home. In a region ripe with economic depression, Pierre has been trying to make a name for himself as an amateur boxer.
"Primetime" showed a picture of Pierre to Ward and Schick and asked them a simple question: Do you know this man? Both said no.
"Primetime" showed Pierre a picture of the two people who were about to start searching for him. Though Pierre said Schick "looks like a Spanish guy from 'The Young and the Restless,'" and Ward "is all right looking," he had never them either.
Asked if he thought Ward and Schick could connect with him just by building a chain of their friends and acquaintances, Pierre shot back, "No way, I think it's impossible. It's like 100 degrees of separation right there."
But Ward and Schick were much more optimistic. Each felt sure they could accomplish the task.
According to "Primetime's" rules, the winner of the contest would be the person who connected to Pierre in the fewest number of steps. Was six degrees all that separated them? Were the links fewer or much more? Or was a connection established at all?
What played out in the experiment took both Ward and Schick through surprising twists and turns.

Sydney cyclist Peter McDonald (Drapac Porsche) stole the march on his more fancied rivals in a three-up sprint to claim the gold medal in the Elite men's road race on the final day of the Scody Australian Open Road Championships at Buniyong, Victoria.
McDonald outfoxed three-time time trial World Champion and newly crowned Australian time trial champion, Michael Rogers, and his Team Columbia teammate, Adam Hansen in a spurt of speed down the final straight into the finish.
The 30-year-old bike mechanic crossed the line in 4:10:34 to claim the biggest win of his career so far.
"It hasn't sunk in yet, this is huge," said McDonald who last month claimed the silver medal in the Australian Criterium Championship and was thrilled to claim the victory. "It doesn't beat anything and is the biggest win so far by a mile.
"They had two riders against me, which makes it really hard," said McDonald. "I was happy when it was just Dodger [Rogers] and myself, but when Adam came across I thought no way – two Team Columbia riders, I had no chance.
"So to beat two guys that race full-time for one of the world's biggest teams, I really didn't know what to think, I couldn't believe that I won a finish like that against two Pro Tour riders,"
Whilst neither Rogers, who claimed silver, nor Hansen in third place are renowned for their sprinting they admitted they got it wrong in the final kilometres, allowing McDonald to use his sprinting speed to full advantage and claim the win.
"Today I tried everything I could and unfortunately it didn't come off at the end," said Rogers. "That's just the way cycling is and unfortunately that's the way it happens, just a communication error between us, so if it happens once in a hundreds races, that's not too bad.
"Two sets of legs are better than one and Adam rode really well to get across to us, but unfortunately for Team Columbia it didn't go the way we wanted it but there are plenty of other races in the year."

We talked at length about the NVIDIA-infused Titan supercomputer already, but we haven't been able to talk about the GPUs that help make the magic happen. In this article, we're doing just that. We'll see what the Tesla K-series of "GPU Accelerators" bring to the table and are capable of, and also take a look at where CUDA usage stands today.
In our look at the Titan supercomputer, housed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, we mentioned that there were a couple of features and design choices that made it unique. At the forefront, the entire supercomputer is comprised of nodes that implement one CPU and one GPU, for a total of 18,688 each. Second, the GPU chosen for the job was NVIDIA's Tesla K20X, an up-to-this-point unreleased card. Given its capabilities however, it has been long-awaited.
With Titan having just become the world's fastest supercomputer, it's no wonder NVIDIA chose to promote it heavily. After all, that in turn promotes the Tesla GPU itself, and touts its capabilities. While Titan's creators were blessed with the ability to purchase the GPUs in advance, the rest of the world has had to wait. Today, that wait over, as NVIDIA is formally announcing the K-series, consisting of the K10, K20 and K20X.
Unlike NVIDIA's other GPU launches, we didn't receive a sample of one of these cards for review, and the reason boils down to the fact that this is not a typical GPU, nor are we setup to properly test one. Unlike gaming GPUs and those used for workstation purposes, the goal of Tesla GPUs is to compute complex math as fast as possible. Even if you had one, you wouldn't be able to game with it. There are no video outputs, and likely no logic at all on the board to drive them even if they were there. Tesla is a brand that means business, designed for those who have some of the most serious jobs on earth.
For gaming, it's not uncommon to see the latest generation of GPUs deliver up to a 25% performance boost, which for all intents and purposes is quite good. But that kind of boost pales in comparison to what's been seen on the compute side of things, and the table below helps us to understand why.

The top-end last-gen Tesla offering was the M2090, a card that offered dream-worthy performance at the time of its launch. It delivered 1.33 TFLOPs of single-precision floating-point performance, and 0.66 TFLOPs of double-precision. In this single generation increase, we can see that the proper M2090 successor, the K20, boosts those values to 3.52 TFLOPs and 1.17 TFLOPs, respectively. This, all while decreasing the power consumption from 250W to 225W.
For customers in need of even more performance from a single GPU, there's the K20X. It features additional cores and higher clock-speeds. For those working on projects that benefit more from single-precision performance, NVIDIA also offers the K10. This card features a dual-GPU design, and while it becomes just about useless for double-precision performance, it boosts the single-precision to 4.58 TFLOPs, 1.06 more than the K20. Because both of these GPUs can get hot, they're designed strictly for server use, as a typical workstation chassis can't provide the airflow such cards would need. Even the K20 would be pushing it, but a proper and well-thought-out airflow scheme can make it suitable.
For this launch, NVIDIA inundated us with information and fun facts, so we're going to be storming through a lot of that here. It just about makes up for not being able to benchmark the card for ourselves!
One of the first slides we were shown emphasizes the sheer amount of demand out there for scientific computing. When NVIDIA launched its Fermi architecture in 2009 (GTX 400 series), things were beginning to pick up fast. With that launch, we all began to see just how seriously NVIDIA was taking GPGPU computing, as the cards excelled in that area. It didn't take too long before users of Folding@home were picking them up to maximize their output. As time has passed, pure GPGPU throughput has varied on the desktop side, but on the Tesla side, performance has increased dramatically.
According to the above slide, the demand for "accelerated computing" has increased 50-fold since 2008. While that might sound like an outrageous number, it doesn't strike me as unreasonable. In 2008, GPGPU was in its infancy, and we were mostly unsure of what the future would bring. As GPU vendors pressed forward, NVIDIA especially, the future of GPU computing became super-clear. We're at a point right now where GPU computing isn't just viable, but necessary, and supercomputers such as Titan prove that.
It's easy to understand that GPU computing has gotten better over the past few years, but the following slide really puts things into perspective. It showcases how the performance-per-watt has changed since 2008, and the results are pretty staggering to say the least. With the current Kepler-based GPUs, GFLOPs per watt has increased by a factor of five. By 2015, NVIDIA wants to increase that to a factor of fifteen.
Let's tackle some other interesting statistics that don't have too much to do with the hardware itself. CUDA, NVIDIA's extension to C and Fortran, is now being used in 8,000 institutions, with its SDK having been downloaded a total of 1.5 million times. To date, 415 million+ CUDA GPUs have been shipped. It boggles the mind. In terms of actual CUDA applications, those have increased in popularity as well, as you'd likely expect. From 2010, the total number of CUDA apps increased by 61% across top supercomputing fields.
Emphasizing the fact that some simulations can be more efficient on CUDA than traditional CPUs, NVIDIA gave an example of material sciences application WL-LSMS. With 2% of the lines of code being changed for CUDA's sake, the throughput for a given simulation has been increased from 3.08 PFLOPs to 10+ PFLOPs. The 3.08 PFLOPs measurement was reached in 2011 with the help of Japan's K supercomputer.
It wouldn't be an NVIDIA GPGPU launch without some Intel-jabbing, so we have that thanks to Intel's upcoming Xeon Phi. If that doesn't sound too familiar, it helps to realize that it's inspired by the work done with Larrabee, which never came to market. Years ago, when Larrabee still seemed to be a real product, we talked a bit about the differences between it and CUDA. In the end, without actually being a programmer, it's hard to appreciate either side's perspective on things, but even today, NVIDIA remains adamant about its CUDA architecture being superior.
Wrapping things up, NVIDIA provided a fun infographic that shows off some of the statistics we've talked about already, and adds in a couple more:
If you're interested in reading more on NVIDIA's latest Tesla cards, we're making a couple of documents available in case they're not easy to find after the launch:

Originally written on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 11/11/14
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed starting guard Mike Brewster on injured reserve and signed running back Keith Toston. Brewster broke a bone in his left hand against Buffalo on Dec. 2. Toston spent the preseason with the Jaguars before being waived in final cuts. He re-signed with the team in October and played against Green Bay in Week 8, returning two kickoffs for 49 yards. The Jaguars are without running backs Maurice Jones-Drew, Rashad Jennings and Jalen Parmele. Toston played the 2010 season with St. Louis after earning a roster spot as an undrafted rookie. He finished with 54 yards on 19 carries and added two receptions for 29 yards. He was with the Rams for the 2011 preseason before being waived on final cuts.

Tao and Schooling get $20k and $40k from ex-BAS V-P for SEA Games efforts
Published on Jan 23, 2014 6:10 PM
SINGAPORE swimmers Tao Li and Joseph Schooling were further rewarded on Thursday afternoon for their efforts at last month's SEA Games.
Last April, former Basketball Association of Singapore vice-president Pang Chin Keong pledged to reward athletes $20,000 for each gold medal, from their fourth gold medal onwards.
Tao, 24, bagged four golds and one bronze in Myanmar, while Schooling, 18, won five golds and one silver.
Tao's mother Li Yan and Schooling's mother May received the $20,000 and $40,000 cheques from Pang at Imperial Treasure restaurant at the Paragon. Tao is currently training in China, while Schooling is back at Bolles School in Florida.

Sorry for this low level question, but I am just trying to get clear about sessions. Using Session variables in applications, I would like to reuse the some of the variables name in two different applications. Am I understanding correctly, if used Session.RemoveAll it would only clear out the session variable that is used in the current application? Example, if user has 2 separate appliations running in browser and have some of same session variables names when the Session.RemoveALL is executed only the variables for that application would be removed and will not effect the application that is running?
Jul 10, 2013 04:38 PM|Rion Williams|LINK
The Session itself should not be accessible between applications, so each of your applications would have different Session state objects, each with their own set of keys and values that are stored within them.
The Session.RemoveAll() or Session.Clear() methods will both clear all of the values contained within the Session of the application that they are called within (and will not affect the other application).
Jul 10, 2013 04:41 PM|godistop1|LINK
Thanks so much for quick response and clarification!

Whether your browsers share sessions is down to how the browser implements cookies etc. One browser might share sessions between instances, one browser might not.
If your application is having its session shared then clearing in one will clear in the other. If your browser makes your app share sessions across browser instances is nothing your application can control.
Edit: Rion, by "application" I think he means the client browser, not the .net application.
Jul 10, 2013 06:56 PM|Rion Williams|LINK
I believe that is the case.
To clarify, seperate ASP.NET Applications (ie those existing within different application pools) will not be able to share Session values, however if you are referring to "Applications" as actual browser instances then the case could be different.
Browsers are capable of sharing Sessions (as a single ASP.NET Application might server multiple browser instances). However, in this case both of the browsers are using the same Session object so when you call Session.RemoveAll() or Session.Clear() the values will be removed from both instances (browsers).
If the applications were actually two distinct applications (ASP.NET Applications) then calling those same methods would only clear it out within the Application where the call was made.
Jul 10, 2013 07:05 PM|godistop1|LINK
Yes, I am talking about 2 separate ASP.Net applications. If user opens another tab starts the same application, if I understand correctly, than there could problems of sharing the same session variables. I was researching what would be the best method of preventing the user from opening another tab and starting the same application that was running. Any suggestions? Your answers have been quite helpful! I am fairly new to ASP.Net and still learning more complicated code for my applications.
Jul 10, 2013 07:22 PM|Rion Williams|LINK
If you are using two seperate ASP.NET Applications (which are completely distinct) they are not going to be able to share Session values between one another (each Application will have its own Session object).
I believe there are a few suggested methods out there for actually storing these values within a database and using that to share between the two applications (as mentioned within TonyDong's answer in this thread).
You likely wouldn't want to prevent the user from opening a new tab (it's typically best to avoid disabling behaviors that users are typically accustomed to) but if the user opens a new tab and accesses the same application. Since you have two applications, the browser will likely share the Session if you access the same application within one that is already open.
Consider you have two applications running, ApplicationA and ApplicationB.
If ApplicationA is open in your browser and contains several values within the Session and you opened up a new tab and accessed ApplicationB through it, nothing would really happen involving the Session. A and B woul both have their own Sessions, which would be completely ignorant of one another.
If you decided to open another tab within your browser of ApplicationA (which is already open), this new tab should be able to access the Session values from your other instance of ApplicationA (your initial window that was opened) and changes should be persisted between requests.
If you were to clear out all of the Session values from A or B, it would only affect the browser instances of A or B respectively (calling Session.Clear() within one of the browser instances running ApplicationA would affect all of the browser instances that are running the ApplicationA application).
Jul 10, 2013 07:32 PM|godistop1|LINK
Rion excellent explanation, but the last paragraph I do have a question. You said Session.Clear() would affect all the browser instances, would Session.RemoveAll() act the same way when running the same ApplicationA?
Jul 10, 2013 08:02 PM|Rion Williams|LINK
For all intensive purposes, the RemoveAll() and Clear() methods are identical (RemoveAll() actually calls Clear() internally).
What I was referring to was that the use of Session.Clear() would clear out the Session values of all of the browser instances that were targeting that particular Application. If the values were cleared through calling Session.Clear() within ApplicationA, all of the browser instances targeting A would lose their Session values, however B and the browser instances targeting B would be unaffected and vice versa.
Jul 10, 2013 08:04 PM|godistop1|LINK
OK, I understand.
Jul 10, 2013 08:59 PM|Rion Williams|LINK
No problem. (Hopefully that explained what I meant by my original answer a bit better)

University of Texas Arlington
UT Arlington In The News - Monday, November 5, 2012
Planning the next collider
Despite the 1993 demise of plans for a super collider in Texas, the U.S. was a strong contender to host a new linear collider as recently as 2007, UT Arlington professor Jaehoon Yu said in a story in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Yu co-organized a weeklong international conference on the subject that was held on campus last month, including an Oct. 24 appearance by Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg. In an accompanying story, physics professor Kaushik De was quoted about a project in which UT Arlington will team with Brookhaven and Argonne national laboratories.
High turnout expected
Although the Latino turnout has lagged in previous years, more than 12.2 million Hispanics are expected to vote this year, according to projections from the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Education Fund, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. "We are going to see a high turnout -- perhaps a record turnout among Latino voters in the United States," said Susan Gonzalez Baker, director of the Center for Mexican American Studies at The University of Texas at Arlington.
Funding a close campaign
Days before Election Day -- as the battle between President Barack Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney reaches a fevered pace -- Texas donations have added up to more than $61 million, according to a Fort Worth Star-Telegram story that quoted UT Arlington political science professor Tom Marshall. "Many, many states are very close in this election," Marshall said. "The easiest thing to do in the last 10 days is to dump money into TV ads and mailers."
Undecided voters matter
UT Arlington political science professor Tom Marshall appeared this morning on KDFW/FOX 4 to talk about the presidential election Tuesday. Marshall said these last few days of campaigning are important and at least 12 states are still up in the air. "Ninety-five percent of America knows who they're voting for. The trick comes down to how that last 5 or 6 percent breaks," he said.
Senate races get attention
Gov. Rick Perry may be able to ram through his priorities over Democratic senators' objections for weeks or months if Republican Mark Shelton beats Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis and Mario Gallegos, a Houston Democrat who died in office Oct. 16, wins posthumously, Bloomberg reported. The story featured UT Arlington political science professor Allan Saxe, who moderated a recent debate between Davis and Shelton. Saxe said: "Davis is very articulate, very energetic and is a whale of a campaigner."
Ohio in the spotlight
Many pollsters say the presidential race is too close to call at this point, but UT Arlington political science professor Allan Saxe says most agree it comes down to Ohio, according to a report on KRLD/1080 AM. "There is a way that Gov. Romney can carry the 270 electoral vote that is needed without Ohio, but that means he would have to garner a whole bunch of other states and it looks very difficult to accomplish it."
Blogging international news
Brent Sasley, UT Arlington assistant professor of political science, has begun writing a regular column on the Israeli elections for the blog Open Zion at The Daily Beast. Open Zion focuses on questions related to Israel, Palestine and the Jewish future.
Preventing SIDS
A UT Arlington team is working on a device that they hope could reduce incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, KDAF/CW 33 reported. Electrical engineering professor J.C. Chiao, doctoral candidate Hung Cao and Heather Beardsley, a research engineer at TMAC, or the Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center, have developed a sensitive wireless sensor system that can detect carbon dioxide exhaled by babies as they sleep.

You let your mom see her like that, so something is done to help her.
Coffee and a shower, then take her to a ***** club to show her what she'll become if she chooses to get ****** up instead of focusing on school.
Then you must have classy joints wherever you live.
make her drink lots of water.
shame on you god is watching! sinners!
sleepover at a friend's place?
Just leave her outside the front door and Mom will handle it.
Ice cold shower, pot of strong tea.
Alcohol absorbtion (metabolise) can be hardly speed up. Hide her, make her sleep, or don`t allow mother in. or if your sis has problem staying sober, maybe it`s better to know and do something.
Put her to sleep. You cant "sober " someone alcohol has to be processed by the body, you can stimulae her with coffee , soda ,sugar,speed etc. but she will still smell of alcohol and probably act strange.
water in face.
Cold shower and a b!tch slap.
just let her sleep it off and when Mom gets home say, oh, she's taking a nap and said to wake her up for dinner.
I was gonna say same thing..... have her drink some water first and put her to bed
good point, I forgot about the water!
that was dumb. you're screwed.
lol - did you check on her to make sure she's ok?
hope she doesnt get home for 9 hours

'Statutory authorities are bound to not only pay adequate compensation but also rehabilitate displaced persons'
The Supreme Court has expressed serious concern at the inordinate delay in payment of compensation to farmers for land, holding that it amounts to deprivation of livelihood, which is a violation of Article 21 (right to life) of the Constitution. "Even under valid acquisition proceedings, there is a legal obligation on the part of the authorities to complete the proceedings at the earliest and to make payment of requisite compensation. The appeals, etc, are required to be decided expeditiously for the sole reason that if a person is not paid compensation in time, he will be unable to purchase any land or other immovable property, said a Bench of Justices B.S. Chauhan and J.S. Khehar.
Writing the judgment, Justice Chauhan said: "It is not permissible for any welfare state to uproot a person and deprive him of his fundamental/constitutional/human rights under the garb of industrial development. A welfare state governed by the rule of law cannot arrogate to itself a status beyond one that is provided by the Constitution. Statutory authorities are not only bound to pay adequate compensation but there is also a legal obligation upon them to rehabilitate such persons. The non-fulfilment of their obligations would tantamount to forcing the uprooted persons to become vagabonds or to indulge in anti-national activities as such sentiments would be born in them on account of ill-treatment without its [the state] resorting to any procedure prescribed by law, without the court realising that the enrichment of a welfare state or of its instrumentalities, at the cost of poor farmers, is not permissible, particularly when done at the behest of the state itself."
In the instant case, "the appellant farmers [in Maharashtra] belonged to a class which did not have any other vocation or any business/calling to fall back upon for earning their livelihood. Depriving them of their immovable properties was a clear violation of Article 21. The appellants have been deprived of their legitimate dues for about half a century. In such a fact situation, we fail to understand for which class of citizens the Constitution provides guarantees and rights in this regard and what is the exact percentage of the citizens of this country to whom constitutional/statutory benefits are accorded in accordance with the law. The appellants have been seriously discriminated against qua other persons, whose land was also acquired. Some of them were given the benefits of acquisition, including compensation in 1966. This kind of discrimination not only breeds corruption but also disrespect for governance as it leads to frustration and, to a certain extent, forces persons to take the law into their own hands."
The Bench said: "The appellants were deprived of their immovable property in 1964, when Article 31 was still intact and the right to property was part of fundamental rights under Article 19. It is pertinent to note that even after the right to property ceased to be a fundamental right, taking possession of or acquiring the property of a citizen was, most certainly, tantamount to deprivation and such deprivation can take place only in accordance with the "law," as the said word has specifically been used in Article 300-A. Such deprivation can be [done] only by resorting to a procedure prescribed by a statute. The same cannot be done by way of an executive fiat or order or administration caprice."
The Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation sought to acquire the lands of Tukaram Kana Joshi and others without fully complying with the formalities. They were unable to get any compensation or even, for that matter, any other land. The Bombay High Court did not provide them any relief either.
Disposing of their appeals, the Supreme Court directed the authorities to complete the acquisition proceedings expeditiously, declare the compensation/award at current market value and make payments to the claimants/persons interested immediately.

Wilander had more variety and a better tactical sense on when to approach and where to put the volley. Wilander's instincts on when to be opportunistic were sooo good. His on court acumen was very like Jimmy Connors but with more margin off the ground.
?? no one had better opportunistic instincts than Connors....Wilander definitely had some similarities to Connors and had some Borg-like attributes as well. Connors was definitely older, and perhaps less patient, when he played Wilander in those events. Still, there were some good matches. That one in Key Biscayne was a dandy. The exos, were modified tournaments...Connors played like his life (or his wallet?) depended on it. Maybe Wilander not so much? having seen a couple of those (Beaver Creek and Suntory) it was clear Connors was playing well...I do recall Suntory being a fast indoor surface, which definitely favored Connors over Wilander; the 2nd set was a blitz. But Connors could do that when he was on, particularly on faster surfaces.

With his hyped debut all set to hit the screens, Harman Baweja gets candid about life, and cinema with PRIYADARSHINI PAITANDY
Better known as Priyanka Chopra's boyfriend till now (an allegation he denies — "We are not seeing each other"), Harman Baweja is all set to get an identity of his own with his debut movie Love Story 2050. "I am more tensed about it than a student waiting for his board results," says the actor.
Telugu version
The film is going to be dubbed in Telugu too. So, is he dubbing? "If I dubbed in Telugu, it would sound like Greek to people here," he jokes.
Talking about Priyanka, he says, "Priyanka is a fantastic actress. She's a perfect co-star. She has absolutely no airs about herself though I'm a newcomer."
Besides Love Story 2050, which releases on July 4, the new comer has a few other projects — Victory, It's My Life, a remake of Bommarillu and What's Your Raashi? Giving a preview of Victory, he says: "It's about cricket and I play a batsman. The film stars 'real' cricketers, and to face them, my body language had to be right. So, I underwent intense training under Praveen Amre for four months." As for What's Your Raashi?, Harman says he can't divulge details, and stops with saying that it's being directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar.
With director Harry Baweja as his dad, why didn't Harman foray into acting earlier? "I'm barely 27 years old and I'm debuting when the time is right. I needed to get experience in the art of filmmaking because my father strongly believes that I need to know everything — what happens behind the camera, during pre-production, on the editing table, and finally acting. So, I took my time."
Harman was offered a few films prior to his debut, but he turned down the offers as he felt that home productions are the best way to get started. Smiling, he adds, "When your father is directing a movie, the environment is far more relaxed and far more controlled. Being my first film, there is a lot of love and care that went into it. And that has helped me do a better job."
Not only does he bear an uncanny resemblance to Hrithik Roshan, but some of Harman's dance movements in the promos also look similar to Hrithik's. Whether it was intentional to make it Hrithik-esque is not known, but Harman insists he loves dancing and took up kathak classes with Sanjay Yadav. But, he adds modestly, "I think that if one were to technically judge my dancing skills, I'd probably fail."
Another similarity between Hrithik and Harman is that when the former made his debut with Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, Kareena was supposed to act opposite him, but she walked out of the film. The same is the case with Love Story … — Kareena decided against doing it. Kaho na… went on to become a hit. So, while Baweja senior and junior hope that their movie too follows the fortunes of KNPH, let's wait and see if the movie springs up another Hrithik!

June 14, 1932. G, 1,863,118
SURGEON S INSTRUMENT Filed Oct. 31. 1927 avwentoz Patented June 14, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT o1=1=1c|a JOHN G. H. LIEBEL, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE LIEBEL-FLARSHEIM COM- PANY, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, .A. CORPORATION OF OHIO SURGEONS INSTRUMENT Application filed October 31, 1927. Serial No. 229,937.
This invention relates to a surgical instrument to be used as a scalpel and also to a method of cutting tissue, fat, cartilage, etc. in surgical operations.
The mechanism and method of this invention are susceptible to many surgical uses but thus far have been employed most advantageously, in eradicating cancerous growths and in operating on very vascular tissue both malignant and benign, such as brain tumors. Both of these specified operations are diflicult to perform with the conventional knife due, in the case of cancer, to the likelihood of transplanting malignant cells into the blood stream, and in the case of brain tumor, to the loss of blood and surgical shock.
The present invention permits the rapid cutting of tissues and the sealing of the severed capillaries and lymphatics simultaneously, thus avoiding the spread of malignant cells, infection, the loss 'of blood, and the loss of time involved inchecking hemorrhage and capillary seepage by conventional methods.
Moreover, the use of this invention enhances the patients chances of recovery in that less time is consumed and there is less surgical shock than would be the case were the usual steel knife used.
It has long been known that electricity discharged into the human body with sufiicient concentration has a disrupting effect upon tissue. A direct current at adequate potential would cut tissue but would at the same time produce a very unwholesome, if not fatal electrical shock to a living being as well as undesirable chemical action. Low frequency alternating current would administer a more severe electrical shock than direct current. In order toavoid these difficulties, high frequency currents have had the most common medical application for generating heat within the tissues. It has also been recognized that an undamped high frequency current is capable of disrupting tissue. This is due to the heat generated by the current as it is discharged from a needle or edge. A current of this nature, however, burns or carbonize's the tissue in its immediate path, thereby causing the generation of dangerous toxines. Moreover, a current of this nature does not prevent the bleeding of the patient unless the cutting is done so slowly that a considerable depth of flesh is charred.
One object of this invention is to provide a method of cutting living tissue with an electric current whereby a minimum of tissue is injured.
In performing a surgical operation, such as removing a brain tumor, it is desirable to work as rapidly as possible in order to minimize the shock. During such an operation it is necessary to dissect many varieties of tissue some of which bleed readily and profusely and some less so. It is therefore advisable that the cutting current be controllable so that its cutting characteristics as well as its power of stopping blood flow or dehydrating the tissue can be varied promptly at the will of the operating surgeon.
Therefore, a second object of this invention is to provide a mechanism for cutting living tissue with an electric current, the characteristics of which current are controllable by the surgeon in relation to the tissue being dissected.
Some tissue is more easily out than other tissue and it is therefore another object of the invention to provide a mechanism of the class described wherein the power of the cut ting current is controllable, as well as the characteristics of the current wave.
In order to cut the tissue it is requisite to have available approximately 1000 volts. If the patient were charged with this voltage sparks would jump from the patient to the hands of the surgeon and attendants asthey handled the patient during the operation.
Therefore, another object of the invention is to provide an electrical cutting instrument wherein the patient is maintained at a potential such that the surgeon and the attendants can handle the patient freely without receiving electrical discharge from the patient.
Another object of the invention is to provide a mechanism of the class disclosed which insures the patient against harmful results arising from low frequency oscillation or surges and from electrical shock from the commercial current supply due to grounding characterized by a high frequency and the partial damping ofthe oscillations.
The characteristic of a direct current. an alternating current or of an endamped or continuous wave high frequency current is that it flows through a' definite and'limited path in the living tissue thereby disrupting or charring the cells in that path. The characteristic of a highly damped high frequency current is that it flows through a multitude of paths in the tissue thereby heating a large area but destroying fewer cells having a desiccating rather than a charring or burning action. The characteristic of the partially damped high frequency current of this invention is that it follows a sufficiently direct path immediately ahead of the instrument from which it is discharged to part the tissue ahead of said instrument but also makes contact with the tissue at a multitude of loci thereby drying or dehydrating the sides of the incision with a very limited amount of burning, charring, or cell destruction.
The mechanism best adapted to produce this surgical wave includes an instrument, stylus, needle, knife or electrode adapted to discharge the high frequency current into the patient at the locus of the desired dissection, and a plate or large electrode adapted to make a second contact with the patient to make a return path for the current, although in some instances the return path is not essential. The stylus may be of any desired shape or bluntness. smallness is usually desirable in order to concentrate the current. The blunter the stylus, the greater is the dehydration 'of' the tissue. The stylus and plate are constituted the terminals of a circuit designated the surgical circuit.
A high frequency circuit is so associated with this surgical circuit as to control the wave characteristics of the surgical circuit. Thishigh frequency circuit or control circuit includes a condenser or condensers, a spark gap and an inductance. These three members are proportioned to provide high frequency current of sufficiently constant amplitude to dissect the tisuse, yet of sufliciently inconstant amplitude to dehydrate the sides of the incision. Otherwise expressed, a single alternation of cycle current in the condenser charging circuit produces in the oscillating circuit a series of wave trains, the individual waves of which have differential amplitude, the major amplitude being intermittent, but a certain minimum amplitude being greater than zero throughout the period of the alternation. Obviously, the foregoing description disregards the infinitely brief zero points inherent in the high frequency oscillations at the instant of reversal of'polarity of any given oscillation.
Since different tissues have different tend encies to blood it is desirable that the dehydra-ting power of the applied current be variable in order to provide for efficient operation on these different tissues. Therefore, the control circuit is provided with means for damping the oscillations to different degrecs, such as a plurality of condensers of different capacities selectively incorporable in said control circuit.
The power is supplied to this control circuit by a step-up transformer which is in turn supplied with the conventional 110 volt 60 cycle alternating current. The control and surgical circuits can be variously associated one method being the associating via a Variometer whereby the control circuit generates current in the surgical circuit, the power in the surgical circuit being a function of the variometer setting. It is likewise feasible to connect the control circuit with the grid circuit of a three element vacuum tube, and the surgical circuit with the plate circuit so that the control circuit determines the characteristics of the current in the surgical circuit.
Another feature of this mechanism for producing a proper current for tissue dissecting purposes isthe presence of filter condensers in the surgical circuit. These filter condensers filter out and protect the patient from low frequency currents which might result from heterodyming or other causes or from a 60 cycle in case of accidental grounding of the patient or operator.
Other objects and further advantages of the invention will appear in the description of the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a surgeons electric scalpel, showing the preferred wiring of the circuits. 7
A transformer 1 is provided with a primary 2 and asecondary 3. Both transformer windings are connected at one end to the transformer core for a purpose later detwele plate condenser is connected a six plate condenser 10, connection being made by a wire 11.
nected by a'wire 13 to the same terminal of A two plate condenser 12 is con-- the six plate condenser to which is attached switch arm 19 can be swung to connect any one of the condensers into the circuit selectively. It is also possible to accomplish the same result by adding capacities in parallel instead of switching in different condensers of different capacities.
' Connected to this multiple contact switch arm by a wire 20 is the pivoted arm 21 of a second multiple contact switch 22. Between this multiple contact switch 22 and the terminal of the spark gap opposite to the one to which the condensers are connected is disposed the primary winding of a variometer 23. The variometer primary is connected to said gap terminal by a wire 24. This termi nal of the spark gap is likewise connected with the secondary of the transformer by another wire 25. The connection between the variometer and the two contacts of the multiple contact switch 22 is made by means of two wires 26 27 one of which dis oses more turns of the variometer primary 28 in the circuit than does the other. The secondary variometer coil 29 is pivoted in relation to the primary and is connected to the terminal of the primary coil which disposes the full number of primary turns in the circuit. The other end of the secondary variometer coil is connected by means of a wire 30 to a filter condenser 31 of approximately eight plates, the other terminal of which is connected to the machine terminal 32 from which .extends the lead wire 33 on the end of which is the electrode 34 or small knife preferably having a blunt or dull edge which is used in directing the cutting current into the patient. A plate 35 preferably of large area makes the other contact with the patient and is likewise connected to a terminal 36 of the machine by means of. a lead wire 37. This terminal 36 is also connected with a filter condenser '38 of eight plates, the other terminal of which is connected by a wire 39 back to the primary of the variometer at the end connected to the spark gap and thence back to the core of the transformer via wires 24. 25. It is to be noted that the plate 35 is con nected save for the filter condenser directly to a power supply wire. The filter condens r 38 protects the patient contacting the plate from the cycle current. The transform-er which supplies this 60 cycle 110 volt current is always grounded and therefore the connection to a supply wire serves as a ground for the 1000 volt high frequency current.
The patient is, therefore, always at ground potential which means that the surgeon and attendants are free to handle the patient .dur-
ing an operation without sparks jumping from the patient to them.
In order to assist the skilled of the art in constructing machines of this type, the following disclosure is made as one example of correct proportioning of parts.
The transformer is preferably of the leakage type commonly used with a spark gap in generating high frequency currents, and delivers substantially 1000 volts from its secondary winding. The spark gap comprises three sets of gaps connected in series which are spaced usually about 3/44/1000 of an inch apart apiece.
It is to be noted at this point that it is requisite to use a spark gap which will maintain relatively constant spacing between the sparking surfaces regardless of changes in thermal conditions. A spark gap of this type is the thermally compensating gap disclosed and claimed in the co-pendingappli cation of Edwin S. Flarsheim. Serial No. 161,931. Another type of spark remains relatively constant despite thermal changes is described and claimed in the copending application of Edwin S. Flarsheim, Serial No. 228,964.
Were the gap to vary materially in spark electrode spacing during the course of an operation, the current would be altered in quality and quantity and might become intermittent or sputtery in character.
The condensers 9, 10, and 12. are of different capacities to provide different circuit conditions which produce different degrees of damping of the high frequency oscillations. The two plate condenser 12 has an effective area of approximately 2 inches on one side of each plate with a dielectric consisting of approximately six one thousandths of an inch thick mica sheets between said condenser plates. The other two condensers 9, 10, have plates and dielectric of the same dimensions, the increased capacity being attained by increasing the number of plates.
Therefore, when the condenser of small capacity is switched into the circuit, the capacity being small, the discharge is relatively constant and the oscillations relatively un damped. though more damped than would be the oscillations produced by an electron tube. The six plate condenser provides more capacity, less constancy of discharge and greater damping of the high frequency wave trains. The twelve plate condenser 9 provides still more capacity, still less continuous discharge, and still greater damping.
The purpose of the second multiple contact switch 22 is to provide two voltage ranges. contact to the other. the number of turns of wire on the stationary variometer coil is increased from six turns to eleven turns. The secondary variometer coil is provided with approximately twenty turns on an average gap which By throwing this switch from one diameter'of about four inches and is pivotable over F 180 so that it may be variably adjusted to back or boost the potential of the stationary winding and thereby give delicatc control of the out-put current. Two voltage adjustments are therefore provided. First, the multiple contact switch 22 which provides two voltage ranges, and second, the variometer, the turning of the angular position of which increases or decreases the power in the surgical circuit.
It will be observed that the va riometer primary serves as an inductancefor the oscillating circuit and thereby performs a dual function.
In using this machine in a surgical operation, the surgeon uses the light dehydration as is represented by the use of the two plate condenser 12 for cutting through fat or through tissue not particularly inclined to bleed. After areas are reached which are more inclined to bleed, condenser 10 or 9 is switched into circuit in place of condenser 12 thereby increasing the dehydration and permitting the continuance of the cutting and the sealing of'the walls of the incision simultaneously.
