Encephalitis and meningitis facts
- Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain.
- Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes (called meninges) that surround the brain and spinal cord.
- Both infections can be caused by bacteria or viruses and rarely a fungus.
- Headache and fever are the most common symptoms of encephalitis and meningitis. Stiff neck, confusion, or lethargy can also be present.
- The diagnosis is usually made by performing a lumbar puncture (spinal tap).
- A CT scan or MRI of the brain can also be helpful but usually is only done in addition to the spinal tap.
- Treatment depends on identifying the underlying cause. If bacteria are causing the infection, then antibiotics are indicated.
- Anyone experiencing symptoms of encephalitis or meningitis should see a doctor immediately.
- Depending on the organism causing the infection, close contacts can also get sick and need to be evaluated by a health-care professional.
- Basic methods that help to prevent the spread of infections (hand washing and covering ones mouth when coughing) can also help prevent the spread of some forms of meningitis.
- Being up to date on vaccinations will help prevent certain forms of meningitis.
What is encephalitis?
Encephalitis is brain inflammation. There are many types of encephalitis, most of which are caused by infections. Most often these infections are caused by viruses. In addition to infections, encephalitis can also be caused by certain diseases that result in an inflammation of the brain.
What causes encephalitis?
Encephalitis is a rare condition that is caused most often by viruses. The leading cause of severe encephalitis is the herpes simplex virus. Other causes include enterovirus infections or mosquito-borne viruses. The very young and the elderly are more likely to have a severe case.
Exposure to viruses can occur through breathing in respiratory droplets from infected people, certain insect bites, and direct skin contact.

Is it wrong to masturbate with your boyfriend at fourteen years old?
Question Posted Saturday March 31 2012, 5:40 pm
Hi. I'm 14/f and my boyfriend an I have been talking about having sex. He really wants to and was respectful enough to just ask instead of trying to pull my pants off, unlike my ex's and I've told him that I don't want to and he knows how I feel about the whole thing so he hasn't asked that question exactly, but he has hinted a couple times and got the same answer and then yesterday he brought up the topic of masturbating and right away this came to my head;
If I don't have sex with him but still satisfy him somehow (by masturbating for him & letting him watch and masturbate if he wants to) then is that wrong? Of course I don't want to tease him by telling him that I have this idea and then not do it so my question is;
Is this wrong? I'm 14/f, virgin and I want to stay virgin until my wedding, by the way
Thank you for all answers!

answered Sunday April 1 2012, 11:08 am:
I agree with masterclinic in that you at age 14 are too young to fully understand what you want sexually. Yes you want to remain a virgin until you marry and that is a good thing. You may change your mind later in life, possibly in College when you believe you have found Mr. Right. That would not necessarily be a bad thing.
For now though it is wrong because at your age being in a position of masturbating with your boyfriend puts you in a very vulnerable position. I had a letter just yesterday were a girl, younger than you, felt pressured into having sex with her boyfriend even though she did not want too. She was in a very similar situation to what you describe. Being forced or compelled after you say no is rape and that is what I told her. So I ask you why put yourself in such a position?
Their is nothing wrong with masturbation. If you need to then do so in your bedroom with the door locked so you are not disturbed. Masturbating with your boyfriend is really foreplay to sex; a position you are to young to handle should he try to push you in anyway to have sex with him.

Well in the end, it is all up to you. You probably need time to think about it.
I started messing around with a guy when I was 15. I'm still a virgin. But pretty much every guy wants sex. Make sure he knows that you want to wait till you're married and doesn't bring it up all the time. I had problems with that guy because he really wanted it after we kept messing around. Things ended really bad. So yeah, I regret everything I ever did. But I'm happy with who I'm with now and everything going on. I wish I waited for all that till now.
Anyways, it's your choice but I'd wait unless you're completely sure of what could happen and you're feelings for this guy.

answered Saturday March 31 2012, 8:31 pm:
Yes it's wrong, but not because of your age. By 14 most boys and girls dont know what they're ok with (sexually) so they end up regretting what they did as teenagers. It's obvious that you don't know what you want out of it; you say you want to wait till marriage but you dont know why that is, your not confident that it's what you will do (not should do).
You need more time to think about this; so try this. Clear your mind of everything that you've been told your whole life about sex. Your parents, friends, family, church, class mates. All of they're opinions do not effect your thinking right now. And now that your blank think what will make YOU happy.
This is something that can't be answered in one sitting; think it over for a while.
Im Gunna tell you how I came across my answer (short version), hoping that it'll help.
My family is catholic so my parents waited till they were married, I wanted the same thing as a young teenager but after thinking about it for some time and being in a relationship I learned something I did not know back then. Sex was being taught as something BAD (unless it was done after marriage). It was very narrow minded to me and I'm as open minded as it gets, so for that and many other reasons I split away from the church. I found someone about a year later and after sometime of being together I knew I wanted to have sex. It wasn't for my own selfish reasons (to feel good), it was because I felt sex would satisfy my need to be as close as I could to her and I was right. It wasn't bad, it was perfect and we had a great relationship. Even though it ended I don't regret it at all; that's because I waited for Someone I loved.
I hope it helped but if it doesn't what I'm trying to say is make sure it feels right; that you think about it and don't do it if your so confused. Because I'f your confused then you'll most likely end up regretting it

answered Saturday March 31 2012, 7:18 pm:
You will get a multitude of responses on this with some people thinking its wrong and others the opposite. It's really subjective.
The question should be do you think it's wrong? It all comes down to your perception of it and whether you feel it's right. That's something nobody can decide but you.
The truth is that this isn't hurting anyone and it's up to you. You have to be 100% comfortable with your body and sharing something so private with him. You also have to be 100% sure that you are doing this for yourself and not just for him to be satisfied when you don't want sex.
You and you alone are in the driver's seat and have to set up boundaries about touch, that there's no sex etc. and that you're remaining a virgin and never let it cross into uncomfortable territory. I guess what I'm saying is to really think hard about this and consider pros/cons before agreeing to this. If for any reason you feel weird about it than don't.
As you know masturbation in any form is safe and 100% normal. Adults do engage in this together and it's not uncommon. In a way your parents would HATE you doing this at all but would probably applaud you trying to handle hormones in a way that isn't intercourse. It's better to this than become pregnant or be in risky behavior. Know your own morals and if waiting til marriage for sex is important don't do anything to compromise that.

Every fall, Starbucks whips the nation into a frenzy over its signature fall espresso drink: The pumpkin spice latte, which costs about $4 a cup. It's gotten so intense, there was even a recent bidding war on eBay for the special pumpkin latte sauce, which gives the drink its seasonal flavor.

Pumpkin is cropping up more in the grocery store aisle, such as McCann's pumpkin spice-flavored Irish oatmeal, prices vary. "We've seen pumpkin mentions on chain restaurants up 38 percent over the past two years," said David Henkes, vice president of Technomic, Inc., and food industry trendwatcher. "We have never seen so many pumpkin offerings, both in restaurants and in grocery stores."

Stan Frankenthaller, the executive chef at Dunkin Donuts, may be to blame for helping to feed the pumpkin craze. "We added four new pumpkin menu items this year alone," he told "Nightline. "We started years ago with just the donut and of course the munchkin. We added muffins, then we added two pumpkin lattes. We sell a lot of bagels, so we have pumpkin cream cheese, it just goes on and on."

Turns out marketing pumpkin is about selling a feeling, like gathering around the fire to roast Kraft's Jet-Puffed Pumpkin SpiceMallows, prices vary. "You know the cool nights, the fireplace, all those sorts of things that are about the autumn, pumpkin is a big part of it," Stan Frankenthaller said. "It kind of signals to the consumer that now it's time."

How about cracking open some cold pumpkin beers with your buds? Sam Adams Brewery manager Jennifer Glanville told "Nightline" they use actual pumpkins to make their pumpkin-flavored brews.

Part of the pumpkin product allure is that they are sold for a limited time. Pringles has pumpkin pie spice potato crisps for this fall only at Walmart for $1.79 per can. "Any time there is the perception of scarcity, consumers are going to go for it," David Henkes said. "If it's only around for a certain amount of time, consumers are going to grab for that, because next time it might be gone."

Death and Dying
A Heart of the Buddha Teaching
Feb 2012, Oxford
According to the later Indian tradition of Buddhadharma the person entering the dying process or having passed beyond the moment of death, has the opportunity to become more open to what is real than at any other stage in their lifetime. However this opportunity needs to be fostered by someone who has some practice in developing openness, clarity and sensitivity of heart and mind. This can be done by a helper, or mandala of practitioners. This teaching familiarises practitioners and others with the ways in which these methods can be used.
Available as [CD] + [DVD].

DVD £24.99 (£17.99 for Longchen members)
Longchen, Longchenpa and the Dzogchen Lineage
A Heart of the Buddha Teaching
Dec 2011, Friends Meeting House, Oxford.
Dzogchen (or Maha Ati) translates as "Great Perfection" and is considered
by the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism as the highest and most
definitive path to enlightenment. Of all the different teachings of the
Buddha, Dzogchen is considered by many Lamas to be the most appropriate for our time.
From the perspective of Dzogchen the ultimate nature of all sentient beings
is said to be pure, all-encompassing, primordial and naturally occurring
timeless awareness. The analogy given by Dzogchen masters is that one's
nature is like a mirror which reflects with complete openness but is not
affected by the reflections.
Longchen Rabjam (1308-1364), Longchenpa, one of the greatest of Tibetan
scholars and realised masters, was responsible for bringing together many
diverse teachings of Dzogchen and set out a complete foundation for its
study and practice

Karma: Working with our World
Rigdzin Shikpo
Oxford, October 2010
A Heart of the Buddha Public talk with questions and answers on Karma from the Dzogchen perspective
Karma means action. It encompasses all the actions we do with our body, our speech, our mind. We shape our world by the attitudes and actions we have created and performed. What we do is important because it produces results that radiate into the future affecting ourselves and everyone. These results return to us like images in a mirror. Our actions give rise to the world around us and it is within that world of actions that we live our lives. There are many wrong ideas about karma and its results. Rigdzin Shikpo's talk helps to clarify in great detail the nature of karma and shows how it can help us to understand our world in a meaningful way. It was recorded at Oxford Town Hall in October 2010.
CD (MP3 format) £10.00 + p&p
DVD £24.99 (£17.99 for Longchen members)

KINDERHOOK - Learning about science can be fun, even over the summer.
For the proof, NewsChannel 13 checked out a portable planetarium.
It's from the Dudley Observatory.
With the help of experts from the Museum of Innovation and Science, it helps educate students across the Capital Region.
"To have had this experience as a kid for me would have been just awesome," said Justin Rupert.
Now, Rupert gives that experience to children all summer long.
This week's stop was the Kinderhook Library.
"It's just a really big dome that everybody crawls into, sits around the edge and I have a projector in the middle that displays all the stars all along the inside of it," Rupert explained.
"I thought the space dome was real cool. I really like the spring constellations," said one young kid.
It's not just the kids who love it.
"Really awesome," said Melissa Schieren, a parent. "I try to do every program at two different libraries around here so that they get to do fun stuff like this all summer long."
"They love to see how things work and hopefully it will help them in their future," she added.
Other locations the planetarium will be at this summer include:
Saturday, July 26: Diver Public Library & Valley Falls Library at Hoosick Valley Central School, 136 Main Street, Schodack – 10:30 a.m. (518) 753-4344
Wednesday, July 30: Johnstown Public Library, 38 South Market Street, Johnstown (various times for different ages) (518) 762-8317.
Wednesday, August 6: Gloversville Public Library, 58 East Fulton Street – 1 p.m. (518) 725-2819.
Monday, August 11: Watervliet Public Library, 1501 Broadway, (call for time – (518) 274-4471)

Wow from the Washington Post:
Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich in 1999 asked his second wife for an "open marriage" or a divorce at the same time he was giving speeches around the country on family and religious values, his former wife, Marianne, said Thursday.
After one counseling session, Newt Gingrich asked Marianne for an "open marriage" — though not in exactly those words — so that he could see other women, she said.
Marianne, who had attended services in a Baptist church with her husband, refused.
"He said the problem with me was I wanted him all to myself," she said. "I said, 'That's what marriage is.' He said [of Callista], 'She doesn't care what I do.' "
Marianne said, "He was asking me for an open marriage, and I wouldn't do it."
Gingrich has refused to discuss the interviews with his ex-wife. And obviously, an ex-spouse is someone who may have an ax to grind. But I suspect that this is going to be more damaging than just having been married three times. South Carolina primary is tomorrow ...

What was supposed to be a close game between the University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs and the Winona State University Warriors, turned out to be more of a Bulldog football clinic than an actual game.
On Saturday Oct. 9, 2010 the Bulldogs defeated the Warriors 59-17. The first touchdown of the game was completed at 3 minutes and 18 seconds into the game by senior running back and Proctor, Minn. native Brian Hanson. The Warriors were able to get on the scoring charts with a field goal completed by Thomas Kinney. UMD would further their lead when senior running back, Brad Foss completed a 10 yard run for another touchdown, making the score 14-3 just a couple minutes into the second half. Only four minutes later did UMD score again. This time a 3 yard run made by senior running back and captain Isaac Odim would place another 7 points onto the score board for the Bulldogs. The first half closed out with two additional touchdowns completed by the Inver Grove Heights, Minn. stand out sophomore quarterback Chase Vogler, and a Miami, Fla. senior wide receiver, Dre Sherrill. The Warriors were able to put 14 more points on the board through Sean Hertz. UMD was ahead 28-17 going into halftime.
The second half started with a 39 yard field goal completed by junior kicker David Nadeau, who is a White Bear Lake, Minn. native. After these three additional points, the Bulldogs offense and defense stepped up their game and never looked back. WSU was unable to put a single point on the scoring charts in the second half, whereas the Bulldogs tallied up 21 additional points. Odim ran 21 more yards to put the ball in the end zone. Following Odim's touchdown, St. Cloud, Minn. native, and junior wide receiver Collin Stinogel was able to receive a pass from sophomore quarterback Jon Lynch who comes to UMD from Plymouth, Minn. to rack up another 7 points on the board. Finally, the last touchdown of the game came from Hanson, who opened up the scoring charts for the Bulldogs in the beginning of the game.
During a post-game interview, "To come out and perform like that, and win in such a convincing manner is satisfying. It was an overall great team win" said sophomore offensive lineman Garth Heikkinen, in regards to how he thought the team played that evening.
Additionally when asked how he felt about his team's performance, sophomore free safety Cameron Harper said "I feel real good about it. We did what we wanted to do and we didn't give up any big plays on defense."
Next weekend the Bulldogs are traveling to the University of Mary to face the Marauders in their homecoming game. Kick-off is set for 1p.m. To follow your UMD Bulldogs, you can click on the following link for live statistics during the game. http://sports.umdbulldogs.com/football/xlive.htm

Harvard University
The work of Carla J. Shatz, Ph.D., has been instrumental in discerning the basic principles of early brain development and the role of neural activity in how and when neural connections are formed. She made the revolutionary discovery that long before vision is possible, the retina generates waves of spontaneous activity that are critical for cellular pattern formation in the brain. Dr. Shatz currently serves as the Nathan Marsh Pusey Professor and chair of the Department of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School. She helped to develop the Harvard Center for Neurodegeneration and Repair and leads its Center for Brain Imaging.

Turbocharger from TurbochargerPros.com - Learn about Turbocharger and
Supercharger! Boost provided by either a turbocharger or a supercharger is 6 to 8
pounds per square inch (psi). Since normal atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi at
sea level , you can see that you are getting about 50-percent more air into the
engine. Therefore, you would expect to get 50-percent more power. It's not
perfectly efficient, though, so you might get a 30-percent to 40-percent
improvement instead.
Turbocharger and Supercharger - Know the difference!
The key difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger is
its power supply. Something has to supply the power to run the air compressor.
In a supercharger, there is a belt that connects directly to the engine. It gets
its power the same way that the water pump or alternator does. A turbocharger,
on the other hand, gets its power from the exhaust stream. The exhaust runs
through a turbine , which in turn spins the compressor
There are tradeoffs in both systems. In theory, a turbocharger is
more efficient because it is using the "wasted" energy in the exhaust stream for
its power source. On the other hand, a turbocharger causes some amount of back
pressure in the exhaust system and tends to provide less boost until the engine
is running at higher RPMs. Superchargers are easier to install but tend to be
more expensive.

Editorial Staff • West End • 23 Oct 2000
On the face of it, Napoleon has many things going for it. This is the story of a man who rose from ordinary beginnings (although not quite as humble as legend has it), who within 20 years had conquered most of Europe and whose influence on military training, law-making, education and the belief in the Single Market still has resonance today.
Unfortunately, the authors have chosen to focus on his relationship with his first wife, the notorious Josephine. With a wealth of political intrigue to draw on, it beggars belief that so much of the action is concentrated on the romance between these two participants; both of whom (in real life) sought pastures new soon after marriage.
This new musical is much better in the politicking. After all, these were tumultuous times and famed opera producer, Francesca Zampello draws maximum nuance from Bonaparte's situation. She is superbly aided by designer Michael Yeargan, who makes maximum use of the relatively small Shaftesbury stage. He utilises every design trick to bring Napoleon's epic adventure to life, including giant mirrors, back projections and a two-level stage.
However, as the old saying goes, no one goes home whistling the scenery. When you go to a musical, what you wans are memorable songs: I found it hard to recall one tune just ten minutes after leaving the theatre. Although Andrew Sabiston's music is at least vaguely competent, Timothy Williams' lyrics are a veritable mish-mash of triteness, cliches and dodgy rhymes.
It's a pity because there's an impressive cast. Uwe Kroeger (who shares the part of Napoleon with Paul Baker) has a strong voice and makes for a charismatic general (although his acting does appear to consist of one expression - a sort of pop-eyed stare) and Anastasia Barzee is an effective Josephine. Best of all, David Burt is a devious Talleyrand (oh, and why did no actor make an effort to pronounce his name properly?) who steals the acting honours.
There have been some terrible musicals in London in the past couple of years. This is not another one - but it is rather dull. There was much in Napoleon's life that would make a good subject for a musical, all it probably needs are a decent lyricist and composer.

The Official World Rankings Seem Legit
So a long time ago, Tiger Woods took over the World Golf Ranking from Tiger Woods. It was actually June 12, 2005 when Tiger snagged the top spot in the rankings away from Vijay Singh. He has been atop this list ever since.
The rankings are made to rate the best golfers in the world. Two years ago, Tiger won the U.S. Open, and then stopped playing golf because he injured his knee and it needed surgery. He'd take off golf from June 15, 2008 to March 12, 2009, a span that Tiger kept the top ranking the entire time, although he wasn't playing. Some though it might give others a chance to overtake him, but he had accumulated enough points to keep the ranking. When he won at Bay Hill two tournaments later, he secured the number indefinitely.
Now comes a similar situation. Tiger is still the top golfer in the rankings, but hasn't had the type of year we are used to seeing from the man in red. Talk for the second half of 2010 has been about Phil Mickelson having multiple chances of becoming number one in the world for the first tim in his illustrious career. Given that Phil will most likely never win the career Grand Slam because of his struggles at the British, this honor could be the last feather in his career cap. Mickelson had a crummy second half of the season, however, and could never jump Tiger.
But Lee Westwood can now, even though he's been hurt since the Bridgestone Invitational in early August. Actually, he will jump him no matter what. Thus the power of the Official World Rankings. See, Lee could have been number one in the world if he had finished first or second at the Dunhill Links Championship this week, but he said his lingering calf issue continues to bother him (didn't say much about that last week at the Ryder Cup, *nudgenudge).
No matter, even if he doesn't start the Portugal Masters next week, an event he had penciled into his schedule, he will be number one over Woods by the end of the month.
I know the rankings are a two year process, but it seems rather ridiculous that a guy could top someone after he's been hurt for nearly three months. The guy isn't even playing and he's gaining points to swing past Woods?
The irony of it all is that Tiger would still have a ton of points from this time two years ago if it hadn't been for his injury. But, whatever ... let the best crippled golfer win.

Benq DC C50 digital camera
3.5 out of 5
5MP, Li-Ion Batteries
Looks may not suit all, tiny LCD
Acer spinoff Benq is a relative newcomer to the digital camera market, yet that still hasn't stopped it creating a five mega pixel digicam in a stylish casing. However looks aren't everything.
Designed with a chunky retro style the Benq camera has opted for a turndial on the top of the camera to access the majority of its settings. They range from playback to shooting modes making for an easy control mechanism and resembles the Early Canon cameras.
Benq claims that this has been done so as not to confuse users with multiple menu screens, but the likelihood is judging by the size of the screen, Benq were worried people would have a hard time seeing things. The screen is very small for your average digital camera - a mere 1.5" - and as the majority of manufacturers increase the size of this screen almost month on month Benq lags behind in this area. Those not wanting to rely on the screen can use the optical viewfinder - another rarity these days and there is even a diopter correction dial.
Inside, the camera offers a 12x overall zoom (3x optical and 4x digital) that all records onto a 5.1 mega pixel 1/1.8" CCD chip. Images can be saved in four different sizes and three different quality grades offering maximum options to saving space if need be. The camera comes with a 32Mb SD Card and the unit's power derives from a lithium-ion battery.
Picture quality overall was very good and the camera coped well with strong contrasting colours - see the test shots including the pink and yellow coats. Automatic white balance managed to cope well with the snow in our test shots also, although the shutter lag did cause some problems when trying to capture action.

A jewel for wear by television actors which consists of light-reflecting light-transmitting material. The jewel has cusps with external surfaces which reflect rays of light frontally approaching the jewel at Brewster's angle, thus substantially eliminating or greatly diminishing the amount of reflected light from such rays. A layer of carbon black may be used to absorb light portions which enter the jewel.
1. A jewel of light-transmitting, light-reflecting material comprising a generally flat bottom portion with cusps mounted thereon, said cusps projecting perpendicularly upwardly from said bottom portion and having light-reflecting surfaces which include means to greatly diminish the reflection by said surfaces of light which approaches said jewel frontally in a direction perpendicular to said flat bottom portion, said means comprising that the angle of said surfaces to said bottom is defined such that said perpendicularly approaching light strikes said surfaces at an angle which is substantially equal to Brewster's angle for the material of said cusps.
This invention relates to the type of jewels that can be worn by television actors with impunity in the type of light phenomenon that naturally exists when regular jewels are used and which consists of complete "blooming" with light or with blackness of the television set raster by the intense reflection of light by such jewels. The phenomenon is due to the intense concentration of light on the television camera tube caused by the concentration of light from the jewel. The invention describes the makeup of the jewels that solve this problem but in no way deter from the attractiveness of the jewel.
A representative embodiment of this invention is here presented, but it will, of course, be appreciated that the invention is susceptible of incorporation in still other forms of wearing accouterments such as buttons, etc., and of course to household hanging objects such as lamp tear drops, adornments on doors also made of glass or reflecting materials where the same obnoxious phenomenon can occur.
This invention has been disclosed to the U.S. Patent Office under the Document Disclosure Program with document No. 026986 with date Jan. 4, 1974, as recorded in that office.
FIG. 1 is a Front View of the jewel makeup proposed and
FIG. 2 is a Side View of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a Cross-Sectional but typical view of the jewel proposed.
The figures will depict the use of the main idea of the invention. The main idea is that instead of making the jewels so that they reflect the most light (as is commonly done in nearly all the jewels used for adornment) the use of the physical law of light reflection embodied in the name Brewster's angle is used. Such term refers to the angle of light reflection which does not allow light to come out of the material where the light impinges. This is based on the principle of Brewster's law of reflection which correlates polarization with the refractive index. This is mentioned here before the FIGS. 1, 2, 3, are explained because it is impossible to show the refractive index in the figure and Brewster's law shows the the angle of maximum polarization depends on such refractive index. The jewels here depicted are made of glass because for such the polarizing angle does not change much over the whole visible spectrum. Another way to express Brewster's law is to say that the light is "plane polarized". For glass the angle of incidence making operation of Brewster's law in accordance with this invention possible is 57°. The jewels are designed so that light hits the jewel's facets at this angle (from the perpendicular to such jewel's facets.) This will be shown referring to the figures alluding to the fact that under appropriate lighting conditions, no reflection from such facets can take place, the main nature of the invention here claimed. The jewels need not be made of glass only, the refractive index can be changed to fit any jewel design where the refractive index obtains the operation of such Brewster's law for the purpose of the invention effectiveness, e.g. that the reflected and refracted light from the jewel facets be at 90° from each other. The construction of the jewels here described for describing the invention have another advantage over ordinary jewels and that is that the refracted ray of light in the jewel itself is absorbed by a carbon black medium instead of being reflected by a mirrored surface as in ordinary jewels.
FIG. 1 is the Side Elevation of the jewel, but with the facing part of the sidewall omitted to expose the cusps, representative of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevation of the jewel, but with the facing part of the sidewall omitted to expose the cusps, and
FIG. 3 is a Cross-sectional View of FIG. 2, such cross section showing the constructional features of the jewel. Numbers on the jewel drawings refer both to parts of the jewel and also direction of light rays impinging on the jewel, being reflected by the jewel (such reflection being kept at a minimum since this is the substance of the invention) and also the refracted ray of light in the jewel. The jewel in FIGS. 1-3 includes a flat bottom portion with cusps projecting perpendicularly from the bottom portion. Explicitly the number 4 shows a light ray approaching the jewel frontally and impinging the surface of a cusp at Brewster's angle (following Brewster's law) from the perpendicular (No.5) to the jewel cusp surface. No. 7 is the refracted ray inside the jewel, and No. 6 being the reflected ray, which in this case is greatly diminished and can even be zero, such being the object of the invention. Brewster's law calls for an angle of 90° between the refracted ray 7 and the reflected ray 6 in order that Brewster's law action take place, viz. greatly diminished reflection or no reflection. No. 8 is one cusp of the jewel, No. 9 another cusp of the jewel, No. 10 is the middle cusp of the jewel, No. 11 is another cusp of the jewel. No. 11, No. 12 and No. 13 are better referred to in FIG. 3, where No. 11 is the cusp, No. 12 is a feature of the jewel consisting of a layer of carbon black, covering the bottom of the jewel (also shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) such carbon black being the agent that absorbs the refracted rays 7 in the jewel. The construction of the jewel is shown in simple terms with only a ray of light No. 4 impinging on the jewel face. The side of the jewel shown as No. 13 and which is a round side of opaque material completely around the jewel has the purpose of shielding light rays from the jewel and minimizing light rays at other than the Brewster's angle from the perpendicular to the jewel face or facets. This completely describes the make-up of the jewel with its cusps of glass.

the potential to improve visibility and funding for EMS, and perhaps other aspects of emergency and trauma care, within the federal government.
While the committee applauds these positive developments, setbacks have occurred as well. As noted above, DHHS's Division of Emergency Medical Services, its Division of Trauma and EMS, and most recently its Trauma/EMS Systems Program have been zeroed out of the federal budget. Federal funding for AHRQ, nonbioterrorism programs at CDC, and other federal programs related to emergency and trauma care at the federal level have been cut. These developments suggest that a fragmented organizational structure at the federal level would significantly hinder the creation of a coordinated, regionalized, accountable emergency and trauma care system. FICEMS can be a valuable body, but it is a poor substitute for formal agency consolidation. FICEMS is expressly focused on EMS, and ultimately has limited power even within this sphere. It is not a federal agency and therefore cannot regulate, spend, or withhold funding. It cannot even hold its own member agencies accountable for their actions—or lack of action.
The possibility of a lead agency for emergency and trauma care has been discussed for years and was highlighted in the 1996 report Emergency Medical Services Agenda for the Future. While the concept of a lead agency promoted in that report was focused on prehospital EMS, the committee believes a lead agency should encompass all components involved in the provision of emergency and trauma care. This federal lead agency would unify federal policy development related to emergency and trauma care, provide a central point of contact for the various constituencies in the field, serve as a federal advocate for emergency and trauma care within the government, and coordinate grants so that federal dollars would be allocated efficiently and effectively.
A lead federal agency could better move the emergency and trauma care system toward improved integration; unify funding and other decisions; and represent all emergency and trauma care patients, providers, and settings, including prehospital EMS (both ground and air), hospital-based emergency and trauma care, pediatric emergency and trauma care, rural emergency and trauma care, and medical disaster preparedness. Specifically, a federal lead agency could:
Create unified accountability for the performance of the emergency and trauma care system.
Rationalize funding across the various aspects of emergency and trauma care to optimize the allocation of resources in achieving system outcomes.

Having a baby is a joyful and exciting time. To help you have a healthy pregnancy and prepare for your birth, a wide variety of childbirth preparation classes are offered at Riverton Hospital, as well as at Intermountain Medical Center, LDS Hospital and Alta View Hospital.
Descriptions of Classes available:
First Time Mom and Dad Class — Offered once a month, weeknights. This class is for women and their partners who are planning a pregnancy or who are pregnant for the first time. Learn about early prenatal care including nutrition and exercise, aids for the discomfort of pregnancy, fetal growth, and the choice to breastfeed. A tour of the birthing center is also offered.
Third Trimester Class — Offered one full day or two half-days on Saturdays, or as a four-part or six-part series on weeknights. Parents should consider their ability to sit comfortably and concentrate for extended length of time before registering for the abbreviated course. Class topics include physical and emotional changes of pregnancy, warning signs, nutrition, labor signs, and the process of labor. Also covered are birthing options, anesthesia options, labor complications, hospital care and procedures, postpartum care, newborn care, and breast feeding. Some time is also set aside to practice breathing, relaxation, and partner support. Bring two pillows for relaxing on the floor.
Lamaze Childbirth Class — Offered weeknights or Saturdays. Lamaze preparation for childbirth teaches that birth is normal, natural, and healthy. Although the course offers many of the same topics as the Third Trimester class, more emphasis is placed on coping strategies, pain relief, and involvement of the labor partner. The class size is smaller to help ensure more individualized instruction, and more time to practice breathing, relaxation, massage, and positioning to facilitate the birth process.
Essential Breastfeeding class — Offered as a one-night class on weeknights. Parents planning to breastfeed are strongly encouraged to take this class prior to delivery. Although breastfeeding is a completely natural process, it is also a learned skill. Class is open to all parents. This class teaches the basic elements of breastfeeding, answers to questions related to breastfeeding and returning to work, plus it demonstrates products helpful to new and experienced mothers. A breastfeeding book is included with the course. The second part of the class will be taught in the hospital after birth. Both sessions are needed.

Sure, Focus Sash + Endavour + Quick Attack. Though it's an one use strategy, you lose the pokemon after it usually. :c
Jeez, a level 5 Starly can even beat up a level 100 Arceus if you do it right! So just try instead of complain.
I just hate ubers. Seriously, can't you play without them? I am sick of seeing Garchomps (and Gengars, but they are not ubers) everywhere. Almost everyone use them.
Oh well, I am just saying. Usually at all forum/site tournaments ubers are banned, so that's why I am saying this.
Well anyways:

This tournament is on JUNE 3.
This tournament will be done in FLAT RULES. So if your Pokémon are LV. 50 or above you're set. If not try finding some Audinos.
In the first round it will be single, second round double, and third round triple.
Only one Pokémon is allowed to have a sleep inducing move.
You cannot have two Pokémon of the same species. Eg. Two Dragonites.
Weaker legendaries like Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres (bird trio), Entei, Raikou, Suicune (beast trio), and Mesprirt, Uxie and Azelf (lake trio) are allowed.
OHKO (One Hit KO) moves are not allowed. These moves are:
Horn Drill
Sheer Cold
Uber Pokémon are not allowed unless stated otherwise.
Everyone's Friend Code (Sorry, I just wanted them easier to find...!)

Alright, ready for the tournament.
Posted 01 June 2011 - 08:41 AM ( #26 )
Just a question Ruby, are your pokemon at the level 50 or above? If you really need to raise your pokemon's levels go find some Audinos and keep knocking them out. It is the quickest way to level up your pokemon.
Oh, okay, I'll do just that. They're at level 40 right now, so only 10 more levels to go. I usually fight them with the Lucky Egg at the Cold Storage.
Posted 01 June 2011 - 09:53 AM ( #27 )
I know
But my point, zuz was that with the right strategy, you can beat up a stronger pokemon. So
By the way, to clear the confusion over using ubers and legendaries. I will try to make the list of the allowed and not allowed ones, if I will write something wrong, please correct me!
So, from what I know:
Not-Allowed legendaries:
- Arceus
- Dialga
- Darkrai
- Deoxys (all forms)
- Giratina (both forms)
- Groudon
- Ho-oh
- Kyogre
- Latias
- Latios
- Lugia
- Manaphy
- Mew
- Mewtwo
- Palkia
- Rayquaza
- Shaymin (only sky forme)
- Victini
- Reshiram
- Zekrom
- Kyurem
Allowed legendaries:
- Articuno
- Azelf
- Celebi
- Cresselia
- Entei
- Heatran
- Jirachi
- Mesprit
- Raikou
- Regice
- Regigigas
- Regirock
- Registeel
- Shaymin (only land forme)
- Suicune
- Uxie
- Zapdos
- Moltres
- Cobalion
- Terrakion
- Virizion
And... few ones I have no idea where to put:
The Unova roaming trio - Thundurus, Tornadus and Landorus,
also Wobbuffet and Wynaut - considering they are ubers not legendaries.

Posted 01 June 2011 - 05:33 PM ( #30 )
^ Agreed.
I'm thinking that Celebi and Jirachi shouldn't be allowed, since Celebi and Jirachi can be pretty strong.. And I think the promotional Suicuine, Raikou and Entei's should be banned since they have slightly higher stats than the normal suicuine, raikou and entei. Regigigas should be banned too since Regigigas has really really really high power..
Celebi and Jirachi : Huge no-no. The promotional Jirachi from Summer 2010 especially because it knows moves it shouldn't.
Prom. Suicune, Raikou and Entei : Gigantic no-no! Every time there's a tournament I see these three in the opposing party. I mean, it would be fine, but it's not fair because they were only avaliable in America and I live in Canada, therefore DON'T HAVE THEM. It really pi***s me off when I see them, so please remove them from the avaliable list :c
Regigigas : Huge no-no. Too strong.
Posted 01 June 2011 - 05:35 PM ( #31 )
Okay thanks Mew for your helpful post.

And Heatran too, God, no!! It knows a super power fire move (Forgot what it was called), and so no Heatran.
And in general, I think NO promotional pokemon.
Posted 02 June 2011 - 05:42 AM ( #34 )
I just listed legendaries using their tiers, and ubers went to "not allowed" section, while OUs, UUs, and NUs went to "allowed" section. It's just like in competitive gameplay.
Celebi and Jirachi - Yeah, they can be pretty good when you train them properly, don't talk about nooby jirachis throwing Doom Desire left and right. I myself have an Jirachi and planned to use it, but it doesn't have any special moves (It had, but trust me, for me they are completely useless!)and yes, it should be allowed.
Heatran - It's a perfectly normal pokemon, commonly used in competitive gameplay. Okay, it can be good, but it is allowed, so should be here too. I don't really like it, but I am trying to be objective and following the rules. xD
Suicune, Raikou and Entei - Who said they have better stats? LIEZ! I have all three and they don't really have better stats, they just have pretty good natures (which for example, makes a nice boost to Suicune's defense). I never used them though, I just don't like playing with legendary pokemon (except Jirachi, I love it. xD)
And Mew0099 - I live far far away from America, in a little hole named Poland, and I got them, despite no events are ever held in my country. It was a wi-fi event, so everyone were able to get them.
Regigigas - I don't care, it's ugly anyway, but it should be allowed, seeing as it is not marked as uber. It's not that strong really, it's ability makes it sometimes useless. Though well, when you surpass it, it can be pretty dangerous.
Shaymin - I hardly see it anyway, maybe I saw it once, and yes, it is a glass cannon, maybe pretty good attacks, but very easy to kill.
To avoid super-legendary teams though, we can make a rule: only one legendary per team, no more. (I am tired of seeing 6 legendaries in teams too, don't worry. Though usually those teams are noob teams to my luck.)
Don't be so scared and shout "NO TO THIS/THAT LEGENDARY PLEASE!" if trained properly, even a Weedle or Magikarp can sweep like an uber pokemon. If you don't believe, I can link you to a vids on youtube, where some player kills everything with Unown, Magikarp, Bellsprout and Weedle.
Posted 02 June 2011 - 07:05 AM ( #35 )
Sides, the list of what can't be used in random matchup is right here:
Mewtwo, mew, Lugia, ho-oh, celebi, Kyogre, groudon, rayquaza, Jirachi, deoxys, chatot, Dialga, palkia, giatina, Phione, manaphy, darkrai, Shaymin arceus, victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Keldo, Meloetta, Genosect.
And for some reason, Chatot is banned too.
Copypastaed directly from source.

Posted 02 June 2011 - 07:58 AM ( #36 )
And for some reason, Chatot is banned too.
Reason: Privacy and/or Protection. If Chatot uses Chatter, then the other player can hear the Chatot's user's voice. There's a chance it could say something along the lines of 'f*** u'.
Posted 02 June 2011 - 08:18 AM ( #37 )
I think it should be that any pokemon that can qualify into the random matchup battles should be able to battle. Including ubers. But just not promos as to be nice to people like mew. Just to let you know, for us in America, the event wasn't wifi. We had to go to the GameStop in the town 3 towns away and then walk through a mall with a bulging original DS.
And awww, that is very unfair I think o.o
Well, not really worse than living here though, because I miss billiards of events due to them being only in USA/UK (stores events) and not here. I wish I got that special Celebi for my collection.
And about "to be nice to people who haven't got them" thing. I don't want to be rude but really, it's not someone else's fault that they haven't got event pokemon. I missed a lot too, but who cares about it? Why someone shouldn't use their event pokemon just because someone else haven't got it? That's a little nonsense for me, sorry to say that.
And what makes me wonder... you clearly state no ubers in the first post, then allow someone to use Garchomp which is uber, while using Jirachi/Celebi which are not ubers is not allowed. Decide people please, don't make twisted rules.
I am really sorry if my post sounds rude to anyone (I didn't intend it to sound rude in anyway though), but I just want a fair competition.
By the way! Is the same item used twice or more allowed? (example: player uses Pikachu, Jigglypuff and Caterpie, and Pikachu and Jigglypuff hold the same item, for example Leftovers)
Edited by zuz, 02 June 2011 - 01:11 PM.
Posted 02 June 2011 - 01:34 PM ( #38 )
Posted 02 June 2011 - 01:51 PM ( #39 )
You guys in the beginning said No "Ubers" Seems like rules have been changing alot.... Whatever legends survive the cut list... Allow 1 and only one legend.
So any pokemon that you can catch in the game and evolve to become awesome/powerful should be allowed and not considered uber. That will just mean you will have more of a challange on your hands. Which is what you guys need in a tournament, yes? Its not about being able to knock out a pokemon in one hit or element powers... Its about stratagy and tactic. Keep that in mind.
The Chatot removel is a good idea. (Considering it has chatter) I didn't even think of that move... But um... Doesn't the WiFi battle area use chat anyway? Given I haven't battled since Diamond/Platinum sadly.... (Friend in NY couldn't connect anymore)

Finally, after almost a week of no sleep, I am able to register and finally have my team up to level 50. I have no Legendaries in my team It's fine, like mentioned above, it's all about strategy anyways and if anything, I'm just here to have fun and to try my best. I'd just love to see how my beautiful Pokemon fares. So good luck to everyone!!! Let's keep the battles fair and square!!! This is sooo exciting :3

were unfairly treated in home mortgages. Some paid
higher rates of interest; some were misled into
thinking their mortgages would be paid in 15 years,

Denver DA declines to file charges in deadly shooting of home intruder on South Glencoe Street
DENVER - The Denver District Attorney's Office has declined to file criminal charges in the case of an attempted home intruder who was shot and killed by the homeowner.
The shooting occurred around 10 p.m. on July 7 at a home in the 3200 block of South Glencoe Street. According to Denver Police, the man who was shot had tried to forcibly enter a home and was confronted by the homeowner. After that failed attempt, the man continued to create a disturbance in front of the house.
"The homeowner then came out to the porch where the confrontation escalated," the police department wrote in a news release. "The homeowner feared for his safety and the safety of his family and subsequently shot the male."
The man died of the gunshot wound and was later identified by the coroner as 29-year-old Charles McLaughlin.
Police say they interviewed the homeowner, who was never identified. The shooting was also reviewed by the district attorney, who on Friday said it declined to file charges "in light of Colorado laws pertaining to self-defense and defense of others."
