Forum focuses on court choice
Residents hosted talks on Roberts, his past decisions
More than 35 people attended the forum as part of an effort to educate people on Roberts and his past decisions.
"When Sandra Day O'Connor announced her resignation, progressive groups began to look at ways to make our voices heard," said Sandra Peeples, who served as hostess for the forum.
Several discussions later, Peeples and like-minded people decided that educating the public about Roberts' background was essential.
"We decided what would be best for Corpus Christi would be to get together and talk about some of the issues," Peeples said.
Peeples also said several online petitions opposing Roberts's nomination have been circulated among local progressives.

For those of you that tried to use a pre-sale code before and weren't able to get tickets, you will have another chance for the 8/21 and 8/22 dates. If you haven't already purchased your maximum number of tickets, you can use your code to access the pre-sale on Friday, May 1st 10AM - 10PM. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Saturday, May 2nd at 10AM.
If you already bought your maximum number of tickets (Fan Club Members = 4 and Album Pre-Order = 2), your code will not work, so just jump in for the public on-sale.
See you on the road!
- I thought all tickets were $20? I was just on ticketmaster and the only seats left are selling for $350!! cshoo
- I always buy the tickets to the closest to the front, and yes they are a little pricey, but don't forget, you can get tickets except for the first 100 seats for $20. But think about this... Wanna see lessor entertainers where seats start at $500 and the cheapest are $75 to $100. Really, The best deal ever... And for far better music than Beeber (LMFAO) or any of those people out there that only play (Think molded music dictated by record companies) what appears and sounds like the same crap every song. I've seen him twice and I'm planning to go again... Best deal for the best music from the hardest working entertainer in music... milesatwood1

Maggie Sottero: Designer Style
Maggie Sottero's mission "to make dreams a reality" says it all. In this globally popular collection, traditional details like lace, beading and crystal come together with contemporary silhouettes made for walking down the aisle. That award-winning appeal is due not only to a collection full of rich, beautiful gowns, but also to quality. At a price point rife with cut corners, Maggie Sottero sets itself apart with trend-conscious design, sewn (instead of glued) embellishments, and superior construction.
Maggie Sottero Brides: The Right Designer for Me?
Many brides can find a gown they fancy in Maggie's deep collection, especially women who, after trying several on, still want something more "bridal." However, Maggie Sottero's designs definitely lean toward the elaborate, and ladies who would describe their bridal style as simple may not find their match.
What we love most about Maggie is that their gowns' fit and finish belie their price! Maggie's trademark corset closure and focus on structure almost never fail to put a smile on brides' faces. That, combined with a liberal use of Swarovski crystals and other high-end adornments, makes this designer a favorite!
Maggie Sottero: Bridal Style
Maggie Sottero gowns definitely strike a chord. Women often surprise themselves with how they respond to them, and we think it has everything to do with aesthetic. Modern styling, lovely draping, lace and sparkle whisper of royalty without the requisite bippity-boppity-boo…something that, until slipping one on, brides don't realize is missing.
- Kirstie by Maggie Sottero, Size 6

I love creating things, not just buildings
She has been described as "Nigeria's most prolific female architect " and "The face of Architecture. "But there is more to Olajumoke Olufunmilola Adenowo, the Principal Partner, AD Consulting, than that. She is an inspirational and motivational speaker, wife and a mother. She shares with ADA ONYEMA about her career, experiences and other sundry issues
HOW has it been operating as an architect in Nigeria? We thank God for our clients. Our clients are our prime motivation. We offer bespoke services to a discerning private clientele and they believe in us and it's their delight with our work that motivates us. Every organization we've worked with has its peculiar culture but over the years, I've seen that our core values of diligence, following due process and integrity serve us well in every situation.
What is it like working in a male dominated profession?
I have always told my team that because they are led by a female principal, we cannot afford to make mistakes. Mistakes that would ordinarily be overlooked in men are counted as evidence of incompetence in women. So, we must work hard and go the extra mile so that the quality of our work exceeds expectations.
What is AD Consulting all about?
AD stands for Architecture and Design We are a 17-year-old firm uniquely positioned to offer complete architectural services from design through to supervision and also complete interior architecture and design services. I hear of people needing other service providers to finish their buildings after an architect has done his work but that is totally unnecessary with AD. We conceptualize every aspect of the building from inception, from the foundation down to the last light fitting; we know where every piece of furniture and every drape is going right from inception. From the feedback we get, our attention to detail is unparalleled.
What major projects has AD Consulting been known for?
In all, we have done over 80 buildings, so this is a tough question. Over the years, we have worked on different projects; we did the Guiding Light Assembly in Ikoyi, Lagos, a complex with a 2,500 seater auditorium and an office block, for functionality in spite of its complexity. There's a Governor's and Deputy Governor's lodge that a visiting President and his team said were the most beautiful buildings they had ever been in. We have worked on smaller projects but significant in meaning like the Committee of Wives of Lagos State officials (COWLSO)
In Kaduna, there is the Flagship NUB (now First Inland Bank) on Gowon road that really caused a stir because we finished the project in just three months, which was a surprise when people found out that the Architect was a woman.
Besides your job at AD Consulting, you also run an NGO called Awesome Treasures Foundation for women, youth and children. What inspired it?
I really love people; I believe in people till they prove me wrong. I discovered decades ago that the only thing that gives me lasting joy is when I make someone else happy. I hate wasted potential and want everyone to be the very best they can be. I have been told I have an unusual passion for Nigeria. I can't stand the gap between our potential and our reality. I believe Nigeria's destiny is to be the exemplar for the black race and we are failing not just our country but our race. I hate all the oppression and suffering when something can be done. This is why I decided it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness. I should do my own little bit.
Apart from being the founder of ATF you have been described by the media as "Nigeria's most prolific female architect " and "The face of Architecture", is there any relationship between your Architecture and ATF?
There is a definite synergy. AD Consulting actively supports Awesome Treasures Foundation. It still is the sole corporate sponsor. Sponsoring some of ATF outreaches like Voice of Change radio program focused on leadership. AD is not just an architectural firm, it is also a centre for personal development as we are focused on the development of each individual person working with us with an aim to raise leaders. We give young people a chance to show their skills and talents here.
Why did you study architecture?
From when I was a toddler, my parents took me on trips with them, perhaps because there were no other children to leave me with. But this broadened my mind and exposed me to great architecture at an impressionable age. Architecture is an outlet for my creativity. I like creating things, not just buildings. I also like clothes and furniture. I write songs, poetry, books and love to take photos.
How challenging is it to be a wife, mother and an entrepreneur?
God's grace makes His will possible. If as women, we can keep our priorities right, things become easier. We can't please everyone anyway, so let's please God, give our family (husband and children) their rightful place and face our God-given assignment. Next, let's nurture meaningful God ordained relationships and everything else comes after, if possible.
Are you romantic at heart?
I like the way you put that question. I am romantic at heart, but it's just that my schedule forces me to be more pragmatic!
How did Mr Adenowo sweep you off your feet, was it love at first sight?
It was certainly friendship at first sight. That first day we talked for hours, discussing issues, I noticed that we did not discuss people or events, I mean the mundane stuff, so I knew we could have a lasting connection. He ended up rearranging his programme for the next few days just so he could spend hours with me daily. We met when I was on holiday with our mutual friends. He says he was sure as soon as he met me.
Interestingly our backgrounds are similar, so ours was not the Nollywood film courtships of boy takes girl to the shops to win or buy her over with shopping! I had already started my own business when we met and more importantly, I was brought up to be independent so my background won't even allow me collect gifts from men. So, he won me over with his wonderful personality! I wonder at what passes for courtship these days, because it looks more like some girls set up an auction and they decide in the end to go with the highest bidder. We ladies should marry men that respect and love us; we should be content with what we have so we are not forced to marry an obviously wrong man just because he can afford to fund our lifestyles. Learn to be happy with whatever you can provide for yourself. I speak to a lot of young decent men and they are tired of the materialism. The men who play along with the girls' demands disrespect the girls in the end because they know they are for sale. Contentment solves so many problems. Ladies, the choice is ours!
Tell us the secret of your youthful looks?
Thank you, that's sweet of you! In spite of the indisputable passage of time, I don't feel old most days. Like almost every woman I know, I still feel like a girl inside. Also, I don't carry my age on my forehead; I never feel "why is she talking to me like that? I am older than she is!" I am surrounded by young people. My sons are young and we are friends and most of my staff are under 40. Awesome Treasures Women are of all ages but they are all bright and youthful! I love, respect, listen to and associate with young people and the young at heart. That may be the secret.
As a fashionable woman, how do you see style?
I think Style is summed up in the saying "To thy self be true" style is knowing who you are and expressing who you are in a way that's comfortable, elegant and functionally beautiful and inoffensive to any decent person. Let me elaborate. Dysfunctional fashion is not stylish. I have seen ladies in knee length boots in Lagos and no matter how much the boots cost or whoever designed them, a much cheaper functional outfit suited to our weather would be more stylish. Dressing so immodestly that people are embarrassed on your behalf is not stylish and it's certainly not stylish if you are so obviously physically uncomfortable in what you are wearing that it affects your behaviour! Clothes must fit you and not you fit them!
If you could bring back one era of fashion, what would that be?
I prefer looking forward. I believe with the bright designers we have in Nigeria, the best is yet to come. However, I do like what Coco Chanel did for women through liberating us from the corsets and unreal silhouettes women had to have before her style revolution. Before, Coco women were suffocating and fainting just to look good!
How do you like to spend your weekends?
I am usually speaking at conferences at weekends, attending ATF and site meetings or visiting our sons in boarding school. My weekends are as busy as weekdays or more.
What rules do you live by?
My aim is to make the Bible my manual for living. I keep learning daily.
What fashion accessory would never be found wanting in your closet?
Well, I can't think of any accessory that I find indispensable in my wardrobe. Basics - yes, accessories -No. Style is about expressing your individuality, so there's a certain way one can wear any accessory that will either look good or terrible.

Rockets second 'training camp' comes at right time
If there was an urge to return to McAllen, the Rockets did not give in to it.

Early Intervention: a Rationale
Why is early intervention so important?
The loss of contact with reality characteristic of psychosis can be a very frightening and traumatic experience. A person's first episode of psychosis can be particularly distressing and confusing for the individual, their family and peers, since the experience is so unfamiliar and difficult to understand. Given that this first episode commonly occurs in adolescence or early adult life, an important time for the development of identity, independence, relationships and long-term vocational plans, the onset of psychosis can therefore cause considerable disruption and numerous secondary problems can develop.
Developmental disruption
A psychotic episode commonly isolates the person from others and disturbs peer relationships. The person's personal and social development will be put on hold, or may even slip backwards. Impairment of school and work performance is common with the potential for profound damage to future vocational prospects and consequent financial insecurity.
The impact on the family can cause strained or severed relationships and increased psychological morbidity amongst family members. In addition substance abuse may begin or intensify and the risk of suicide is increased. The longer the illness is left untreated the greater the risk of permanent derailment of the person's psychosocial development.
Biological Toxicity
There is also evidence to suggest that delayed treatment may cause the illness to become more biologically entrenched and less responsive to treatment. It appears that in some way psychosis may be biologically toxic. Indeed, longer periods of untreated psychosis have been related to slower recovery rates and reduced chances of full recovery, greater relapse rates and lower levels of social and occupational functioning. These effects appear to be independent of other prognostic factors. By contrast, early diagnosis and treatment leads to improved recovery and outcome.
Many individuals unfortunately experience prolonged periods of untreated psychosis during their first-episode. Numerous studies have demonstrated major delays between the onset of psychotic symptoms and the initiation of appropriate treatment. These delays, although variable, are often in the order of many months to a year or more.
Achieving Early Intervention
Clearly, this problem needs to be addressed. But how do we achieve early intervention? In practice, a number of strategies are required.
One important strategy is community education aimed at increasing the public's awareness of these disorders and improving their knowledge of early signs.
In addition to increasing knowledge, we also need to lessen the fear and stigma associated with mental illness, which can cause some people to delay seeking help. In conjunction with this, we also have to promote awareness of these disorders amongst service providers working with young people, in particular general practitioners (GPs), teachers, and other professionals working with young people.
Although the presentation of first-episode psychosis is a relatively low frequency event in general practice, GPs have a crucial role to play. GPs are the first point of contact for the majority of people seeking assistance for their health concerns, whether they are physical or psychological. GPs are therefore quite likely to be the first person in a position to identify what is going wrong.
Theoretical concepts and principles of early psychosis
The underlying principles of intervention in early psychosis are threefold:
- Opportunities for clinical care should be made available in the shortest timeframe possible
- Assessment and prevention of secondary morbidity decreases the risk of mortality and morbidity in early psychosis
- Ongoing research is required to substantially test the efficacy of current treatments and to develop secondary prevention opportunities
Preventative intervention can occur in the three key phases of early psychosis:
- The "at-risk" phase, when symptoms are subtle and can be confused with adolescent development issues
- The period of frank symptoms of psychosis that remains untreated, which may compound the issues of risk and the development of prolonged disability
- The critical period after the onset of the first psychotic episode, which can be up to five years in duration, when treatment needs to be comprehensive and phase-specific
The International Early Psychosis Association Clinical Practice Guidelines were presented at the 3rd International Conference on Early Psychosis, Copenhagen, in 2002. Click here to view the full length guidelines.
The Second Edition of the Australian Clinical Guidelines for Early Psychosis were published in November 2010 and are available via the Orygen website.

Tips and tricks for easy Perl programming in Vim
The Vim editor has any number of tricks for helping you avoid unnecessary typing. In this month's article, we look at some effort-saving Vim techniques for Perl hackers.
There is probably no other decision in a programmer's life that is so important and so irrevocable as their choice of an editor. Once you opt for Vi or Emacs, you will tend to stick to your guns and attempt to coax the last ounce of performance out of your favorite tool. Once you decide on an editor, it is better to learn as much as you can about it. More effective use of an editor not only reduces the danger of Carpal tunnel syndrome, but also helps you code far more quickly and with fewer typos. The Vim (Vi Improved) editor has a number of advantages over its venerable predecessor Vi. Over the years, Vim has been extended dramatically to support hard core programmers; it is highly configurable and plug-in extensible – in fact, Vim can be tailored to suit almost anyone's taste or style of working.

Amsterdam's greatest charm may also be its greatest enigma: how can such a gracious, historical treasure house also multitask as the most offbeat metropolis in the world? From Rembrandts to rock and roll, the city has always been a mesmerizing mix of old and new. Now, as this new edition reveals, Amsterdam and the entire Netherlands is being dramatically revamped for the 21st century by artisanal trendmakers, designers, star chefs, and future-forward architects. Fodor's curated coverage includes the best of the country beyond Amsterdam, including Haarlem, the Hague, Delft, and Rotterdam. Expanded Coverage: The year 2013 will be a banner one for Amsterdam, as two top museums will unveil massive renovations: the Rijksmuseum (home of Rembrandt's Nightwatch) and the Stedelijk (a modern-art collection). New write-ups showcase the city's hip "outlier" neighborhoods: North Amsterdam, the Eastern Drydocks, and the gentrifying De Wallen "Red Light" district. The dining chapter dishes on the burgeoning school of Amsterdam cuisine (turbot on a bed of beetroot and sea nettles, anyone?), and a "Netherlands Today" section focuses on high-profile topics such as the changes for "vice visitors" (laws concerning sex and drugs), contemporary design, and immigration. Illustrated Features: Packed with gorgeous color photos, this new edition will add images of iconic recent Amsterdam buildings, such as the Nemo science center designed by Renzo Piano, the ARCAM center for architecture, and Delugan Meissl's Eye Film Institute, along with new design-centric hotels such as the Conservatorium and the Andaz Amsterdam. A two-page feature presents top Dutch designers. Indispensable Trip Planning Tools: The Top Attractions, If You Like, and With Kids features make planning a snap, as do Great Itineraries.

Prep football: Immokalee's Mackensie Alexander to be officially named to All-American Bowl on Oct. 12
Immokalee senior Mackensie Alexander will make his selection to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl official next week.
One of the top-ranked defensive backs in the country, Alexander was selected for the national high school all-star game in April. The U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Tour will head to Immokalee High School on Oct. 12 to honor Alexander and present him with the jersey he'll wear in the game.
The jersey presentation and pep rally begins at 11:30 a.m. in the high school gymnasium. The All-American Bowl is Jan. 5 in San Antonio's Alamodome.
The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Alexander is ranked the sixth-best senior football player in the country by ESPN. Recruiting website Rivals calls Alexander the No. 7 defensive back in the country and the seventh-best recruit in Florida. He originally committed to Tennessee, but decommitted before the season.
In January, Alexander participated in the U.S. Army National Combine, an invite-only event for the nation's top 500 underclassmen. The combine was at the Alamodome and ran in conjunction with the All-American Bowl.

I am looking for someone to have fun with. I want a guy that is driven as well and has good work ethic. A sense a humor is very important to me.

I love sports, on the big screen, attending in person, or playing. I absolutely LOVE traveling. I enjoy traveling by myself - but of course would love to find someone to share those experiences with me. Just ask about other - out of characters.

Could I use this as a monster for my card game? I will make sure I credit you.
Real monsters wear pink!
the coloration on this is awesome, vibrant and unusual, but still with enough muted tones to give it a creepy-crawly subterranean beast vibe. Maybe from a hidden cave somewhere deep in a jungle environment?
You've got such and imagination... And great skills

While sailing from Kodiak to Yakutat, he found unexpected shelter from a storm in this bay. He named the Bay Resurrection because it was the Russian Sunday of the Resurrection. Seward was named for U.S. Secretary of State William Seward, 1861-1869, who negotiated the purchase of Alaska from Russia in 1867. In the 1890s, Capt. Frank Lowell arrived with his family. In 1903, John and Frank Ballaine and a group of settlers arrived to begin construction of a railroad. Seward became an incorporated city in 1912. The Alaska Railroad was constructed between 1915 and 1923, and Seward developed as the ocean terminus and supply center. By 1960, Seward was the largest community on the peninsula. Tsunamis generated after the 1964 earthquake destroyed the railroad terminal and killed several residents. As an ice-free harbor, Seward has become an important supply center for Interior Alaska. Culture Seward is primarily a non-Native community, although the Qutekcak Tribe is very active within the community. Seward's annual Fourth of July celebration and its grueling Mount Marathon race attracts participants and visitors worldwide. Other annual events include the Seward Silver Salmon Derby in August and the Polar Bear Jump-Off Festival in January.

A Time to Deny
Canadian environmentalist Lawrence Solomon talks to TAS about his new book, The Deniers, and the long, hard road of global warming skeptics.
There is no shortage of reasons to suspect the debate over manmade climate change has been woefully incomplete. After all, alarmists' primary response to critical components of their case disintegrating -- the "hockey stick" graph debunked, doomsday computer models exposed as farce, no actual temperature rise since 1998 -- has been to cackle condescendingly, emit ever-louder catcall comparisons to flat-earthers and Holocaust deniers, and respond to every call for debate with a declaration that...the debate is already over.
Knee-jerk demagoguery and a refusal to engage opponents are not typical hallmarks of a movement with facts on its side, as renowned Canadian environmentalist Lawrence Solomon ably demonstrates in The Deniers, absolutely essential reading for those seeking to truly understand the intrigue and intellectual dishonestly that has thus far prevented a reasoned debate on the merits of climate change science -- which is, incidentally, anything but settled.
Solomon, who appears at a CEI Capitol Hill Book Forum on Friday, was kind enough to speak with TAS about The Deniers, free thought in science, and the environmental devastation that could potentially be wrought by global warming "solutions."
So, judged by your resume, you do not appear to be a right-wing reactionary moonlighting as an oil company stooge. How did a good soldier in the fight for environmental justice wind up in the company of such personae non gratae in your chosen field?
Lawrence Solomon: Environmental protection relied on sound science. If we allow science to become a tool for propaganda, the environment will ultimately suffer.
The Deniers began as research to fill a few of your National Post columns, and grew into something much larger. Were you shocked by the caliber and number of climate change skeptics you discovered?
LS: I didn't know what to expect, but I was pretty sure I would find at least a few top caliber scientists. I didn't expect to think, as I do now, that the majority of top scientists may be in the skeptic camp. The press has not been doing its job. Had it done even a minimal amount of fact checking and investigation it would have realized that the science is not settled.
Is the zeitgeist such that global warming skeptics simply don't have a shot at breaking through to the political mainstream?
LS: Most of the scientists I profiled aren't interested in becoming campaigners on climate change. They aren't policy wonks. They just want to do their science.
Granted. But with the stakes so high, is there any way scientists, like the remarkable individuals you profile in The Deniers, could better connect with the culture at large and somehow circumvent the hostile media?
LS: Most don't want to connect with culture at large. Some do, and these are working hard at it. I don't know what pathway they'll find to finally get through to society at large, but I have no doubt that they'll find it. Their ally, after all, is Truth, and that makes for a potent combination.
Do you believe, convinced of a "planetary emergency," global warming alarmists see themselves as justified in using whatever fear-mongering means necessary to move people to accept their solutions -- to join the side of the angels, as it were?
LS: Most environmentalists are sincere in their belief that climate change could bring catastrophe. They aren't being disingenuous.
Then again, you write of your experiences with skeptics who "don't want to be found at all and try very hard not to appear as dissenters. They have no wish to be called names in the press, or to lose their jobs, or to have their funding cut off as many deniers have." Certainly the media deserves blame, but aren't some sincere environmentalists and scientists helping to squash legitimate debate, too?
LS: From the typical environmentalist's point of view, the debate isn't legitimate. They think that the science is settled, that the time for debate is over, that debate amounts to foot-dragging. But the environmental camp is split. Environmentalists in the Third World are not eager to see the Third World's destroyed to fulfill some Western environmental vision. I expect tensions to surface between these two camps.
Are pressing environmental issues being ignored because of the all-consuming fixation on global warming?
LS: Without question, many environmental harms are being ignored or exacerbated while society tries to address a global warming concern that may not exist.
One of the things you talk about in the book is the tendency of politicians to say, as John McCain frequently does, that we should somehow regulate carbon emissions because, to paraphrase, if global warming is real action will ensure we won't all drown in boiling oceans and if it isn't we'll basically have a cleaner planet. What's wrong with that?
LS: Kyoto is not benign environmentally. It is spawning destructive policies such as carbon offsets, which lead to the conversion of farmland and forests in the Third World to carbon-intensive eucalyptus plantations. Kyoto is also promoting uneconomic nuclear plants and hydro-dams, which flood fertile river valleys upon which millions of people in the Third World depend. In McCain's case, and probably Lieberman's, a chief motivation for their support for emissions reduction is national security. They see climate change as a weapon in their arsenal. They hope climate change reforms will reduce Western dependence on potentially hostile oil exporting nations such as Russia and Iran, and at the same time weaken their despotic regimes economically.
As someone with years of experience in the trenches, what do you see as the global warming endgame?
LS: If climate change science doesn't turn around and soon demonstrate concrete evidence of harm, the global warming issue might well just melt away. I have met very few people who have strong convictions about global warming. In their bones, they don't believe the end of the world is nigh.

Japan Office Space
This Japan office space is one to remember! The bank was created by the architectural firm emmanuelle moureaux architecture + design, developing the office space in the Japanese city of Shimura. This Sugamo Shinkin bank's Japan office space was designed to look like a layer of rainbows. The rainbows are formed by stacking various coloured slabs together, contrasted against a bright white background the colours seem to pop out of the building creating a wonderful explosion of colour. The building really comes into its own at night, when the layers are gently illuminated.
Here at eOffice we have partner locations all over the world, including Japan. If you are looking for stylish and affordable office spaces in Japan you can find out more here. We have locations is several cities across the country.

Watson's water hammer pulse
Watson's water hammer pulse is the medical sign which describes a pulse that is bounding and forceful,[1] rapidly increasing and subsequently collapsing,[2] as if it were the sound of a waterhammer that was causing the pulse. A waterhammer was a Victorian toy in which a tube was half filled with fluid, the remainder being a vacuum. The child would invert and reinvert the tube; each time the impact of the fluid at each end would sound like a hammer blow.[3]
This is associated with increased stroke volume of the left ventricle and decrease in the peripheral resistance leading to the widened pulse pressure of aortic regurgitation.
"Watson's water hammer pulse" and "Corrigan's pulse" refer to similar observations. However, the former usually refers to measurement of a pulse on a limb, while the latter refers to measurement of the pulse of the carotid artery.[1]
- "Corrigan's pulse" is named for Sir Dominic Corrigan, the Irish physician, who characterized it in 1832.[4][5]
- "Watson's water hammer pulse" is named for Thomas Watson, who characterized it in 1844.[1]
To feel a water hammer pulse: with the patient reclining, the examiner raises the patient's arm vertically upwards. The examiner grasps the muscular part of the patient's forearm. A water hammer pulse is felt as a tapping impulse which is transmitted through the bulk of the muscles. This happens because the blood that is pumped to the arm during systole is emptied very quickly due to the gravity effect on the raised arm. This results in the artery emptying back into the heart during diastole, therefore causing a palpable pulse.
Water hammer pulse is commonly found when a patient has aortic regurgitation. It can also be seen in other conditions which are associated with a hyperdynamic circulation. A more comprehensive list of causes follows:
1. Physiological
2. Cardiac lesions
- Aortic regurgitation
- Patent ductus arteriosus
- Systolic hypertension
- Bradycardia
- Aortopulmonary window
- Aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva
3. Syndromes or High output states
- Anemia
- Cor pulmonale
- Cirrhosis of liver
- Beriberi
- Thyrotoxicosis
- Arteriovenous fistula
- Paget's disease
4. Other causes

A toxin is a poison made by living cells or organisms. Toxins can
cause health problems on contact or when they are absorbed by the body.
The severity of a reaction to a toxin varies greatly. A bee sting
causes a minor reaction in most people. But eating food containing botulinum toxin can cause a deadly
reaction. Usually, the severity of the health problem caused by a toxin depends
Treatment can be as simple as staying away from the toxin and
limiting future exposure. In some cases, treatment with substances, such as anti-venom, can prevent serious illness.
Fortunately, the levels of most toxins in the environment are low.

Tax-Exempt Sector:
Governance, Transparency, and Oversight Are Critical for Maintaining Public Trust
GAO-05-561T: Published: Apr 20, 2005. Publicly Released: Apr 20, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9039
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The tax-exempt sector under section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code covers over a million-and-a-half entities of varying sizes and purposes. Its diversity allows it to address the needs of many citizens. To help it do so, Congress and some in the tax-exempt sector itself encourage good governance practices by exempt entities. Transparency over exempt entities' activities is aided by public access to their annual tax returns. As the nation's tax administrator, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has a key role in overseeing this sector. Oversight can help ensure adherence to exempt purposes, protect against abuses, and sustain public support for the sector. The Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means asked GAO to address (1) the growth of the section 501(c) tax-exempt sector; (2) the role of governance and transparency in ensuring that tax-exempt entities function effectively and with integrity; (3) IRS's capacity for overseeing the exempt sector, including its results and efforts to address critical compliance problems; and (4) states' oversight and their relationship with IRS in overseeing the tax-exempt sector.
The section 501(c) tax-exempt sector has grown steadily in reported assets, revenues, and expenses. For example, between 1998 and 2002 (the most recent year of data), its reported assets grew to over $2.5 trillion---with 12 percent growth for 501(c) charities and 22 percent growth for other 501(c) entities (noncharities). Accordingly, this tax-exempt sector comprises a significant part of the nation's economy and workforce. For example, spending in this sector appears to be about one-tenth of our economy and the paid exempt workforce appears to be comparable in size to some of the largest sectors of the U.S. civilian workforce, such as food and lodging. Good governance and transparency are essential elements to help provide assurance that exempt entities operate with integrity and effectiveness in meeting their missions. Good governance facilitates well-run operations that dissuade abusive behavior. Transparency sheds light on entities' practices, which enhances ethical and effective operations and facilitates oversight by the public and others. With recent concerns about abuses in the tax-exempt sector, renewed attention is being given to improving governance practices and increasing the transparency related to the sector. Staffing trends and insufficient data have contributed to IRS being challenged in executing its oversight role. IRS has begun to increase staffing, obtain better data on tax-exempt entities, and increase its capacity to analyze and use the data it obtains. For the critical compliance issues IRS has identified, it has started special initiatives to improve compliance. States often oversee tax-exempt entities, frequently focusing on protecting the public from fraudulent activities and guarding against misuse of charitable assets. States and the IRS believe that more data sharing would make their oversight more efficient and effective. Consistent with our earlier recommendations, IRS has improved its processes for sharing its oversight data with the states, and Congress is considering expanded data sharing.

I'll bet a box of donuts he told Rick that they're all infected and they'll zombify when they die, bitten or not. Remember? When they asked about the blood tests Jenner didn't say they were okay.

The virus was probably dumped in the water supply or something. That's how it spread and the first walkers appeared. There had to be a first zombie who wasn't bitten. It makes sense.

wtf did jenner say!
If you really want to know what it is....
Lori is pregnant!!!
Remember Jenner did blood tests, and he only told Rick this. If it were something zombie related he would have told the others also. Yes, he did tell Rick earlier that there were no big surprises with the blood tests, but that is when he was planning to kill everyone, after he decides to let them go he then tells Rick.
I don't know how to the little "spoiler alert" bar, so I just gotta say it.
Yes, I believe Jenner discovered Lori was pregnant. She was pregnant in the comic book series, and it was all up in the air whether or not the baby was Rick's or Shane's (for that matter, we don't know even in the comic series, much less the AMC show, if Lori and Shane were screwing even before the Rise so it could date from then...we do know that Lori and Rick were having some issues before he was shot) before it all became a moot point for the gang.
But I would hazard a guess that (1) Jenner told Rick that Lori was pregnant and (2) that he saw Shane get nasty with Lori on a video circuit; being a smart guy, he put two and two together even if he didn't have the sound turned up on that particular camera. I would even go so far as to venture that Andrea might also be pregnant with Dale's child. In the comic series they are an item, though she does not conceive. Jenner might even have told Andrea she was pregnant, thus causing the in-shower crying jag we witnessed; then again, she might just have been crying with the stress of all she had been through, now that she was in a position of relative safety and able to let loose.
i am also thinking Andrea as well who was pregnant (my wife is just finishing her morning sickness ) ...but it would be kinda creepy if Dale was the father, as he seems more like a father to the WHOLE group, especially to Andrea & her sister.
Perhpas we'll see a flahs back for Andrea regarding the baby?

Not often at all. Personally, I've never been forced to replace mine. I just replace customers' ones. I have a power conditioner and a UPS on all my computer equipment though so i don't have to deal with spikes and brown-outs.
How often do you have to replace your modems and routers? It seems like we've been replacing ours ever year to year-and-a-half.
Posted 24 August 2010 - 22:28
Perhaps it's not your modem/router but perhaps your computer is holding up internet traffic. I have a D-link DSL-G604T on 1.5mbps adsl and it has been working since I bought the router. Have you got anyone to test your phone line for quality?
Posted 26 August 2010 - 07:10
Posted 26 August 2010 - 18:19
D-Link routers aren't the best. What I would recommend is buying a new network card (PCI I suppose? shouldn't cost you more than $10, really) If you can find one in a computer store those things are really cheap. If that doesn't solve I would suggest changing your router for a Netgear or Linksys. They have never let me down (You shouldn't have to replace routers/modems every year! Those should last at least several years if not more if you configure them properly, are well ventilated, etc). Check for firmware and/or updates to all your equipment and software (Games, computer OS, pc hardware, router, etc) so eliminate any kind of conflict or patch that needs to be installed.
Maybe while you're at it, flush your DNS and reset all connections? It has happened with some customer's pc's that they have network issues and their network just needed to be reset, or restarted, etc.
Posted 26 August 2010 - 21:50
Have you done a speed test at speedtest.net when this happens have you tried pinging a computer on the net? This could be an internet connection problem and not on your end.

Bali GPS maps anyone?
Anyone have GPS maps for Bali? I am off there on saturday and would love some maps?:lol3
Maps of Bali
Anyone have any maps of bali for a gps? I am off on saturday and would love to have some maps with me!
Try here may be too late
Which model/brand GPS ?
Well, hope you had a great ride on Bali!
Next time, you can use any Garmin GPS that supports additional maps with the OSM maps for Garmin.
Update: Out of curiosity, I downloaded the OSM maps that cover Bali. Boy! I sure wish I had these when I was there 13 years ago. Give them a try next time and let us know how good they are/aren't.
Just went to Bali and used the OSM maps for my Garmin eTrex. Great accuracy. Can only recommend them to anybody going to Bali.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has become the second member of the RI Washington, D.C. delegation to use the 16-day federal government shutdown as a rationale for raising campaign dollars. In an e-mail message to supporters, Whitehouse decries the Republican-inspired closing of the federal government.
``If there is one thing we have learned in these past weeks, it's that the Tea Party will go to great lengths – including putting the American economy in danger and holding our government hostage – to destroy Obamacare,'' writes Democrat Whitehouse.
A Providence College professor who has been using the government shutdown as a teaching tool says it has had a profound impact on his students.
Political science professor Joseph Cammarano says his students are less likely to want to enter government service when they see the dysfunction in Washington.
U.S Senator Jack Reed said the deal ending the partial government shutdown in the U.S. is long overdue.
"It should have not been contemplated or undertaken in the first place and now we have to get down to real, serious, principled negotiations."
He added that he hopes the partial shutdown hasn't caused lasting harm to relationships formed across the aisle in the senate.
The partial government shutdown is proving to be a problem for some American home buyers. Most lenders require income verification through the IRS. The verification requirement is problematic because most IRS functions have been suspended.
Victoria Doran, president of the Rhode Island Association of Realtors, says it hasn't caused a logjam yet but will if the government shutdown continues much longer.
Rhode Islanders will have to wait a little longer this month to find out what the September unemployment rate was. The state Department of Labor and Training says the data will not be released as scheduled on October 17th because of the partial government shutdown.
Department spokeswoman Laura Hart said the Census Bureau collects data that is used to calculate the state jobless rate.
