The stimulation of scalp and falling of hair is stopped and the hair growth is promoted by applying to the scalp first a sliding, zig-zag suction followed by a pulsating, that is, variable, suction, applied at right angles to the skin to activate the circulation of blood and lymph and the nourishment of the hair bulbs.

This invention refers to a method and device for increasing the circulation of blood and lymph and the nourishment of the hair bulbs on the scalp.
In particular, this invention refers to the use of a vacuum generator to increase the circulation of the blood and lymph and the nourishment of the hair bulbs, particularly suitable for stimulating the scalp, stopping the falling of hair and promoting hair growth.
It is known that the human scalp has an average of 1,000 hair follicles per square inch. At the bottom of the follicle which is a pocket, is a finger-like projection called the "papilla". The hair bulb forms a socket for the papilla. Within the hair papilla is a blood supply which permits the growth and generation of the hair.
The hair follicle is supported in a layer of tissue called the reticular layer. The outer layer of the skin is the epidermis. The undersurface of the reticular layer, below the hair follicle, rests on a layer of fatty tissue termed the "adipose tissue". The scalp moves upon the skull. In a normal individual the human head sheds 50-80 hairs per day. As each hair sheds, it separates from the papilla and the root gradually works upwardly through the follicle until it falls from the scalp. While the hair is moving upwardly through the follicle, the papilla gives life to a new hair which replace the one being lost. As described in Arthur Rook-Rodney Dawber-Malattie dei capelli e del cuoio capelluto-LE-Capozzi Editore, pages 10-13, the stages of the natural biological cycle of hair are:
anagen (productive phase of the hair cycle in a follicle) the average duration of which is about 2-5 years;
catagen (transition phase): 2 weeks;
telogen (quiescent stage): 3-4 months. This stage lasts until the hair is shed and anagen again.
In the anagen stage, hair grows about one-half inch per month. The hair has a life cycle of 2 to 6 years and as the hair sheds, the papilla gives life to a new hair. At about 16-18 years of age for men, later for women, the transition stage (catagen) begins. The galea, interposed between the adipose tissue and the areolar tissue is a resilient layer which permits the scalp to move with respect to the skull. During the transition stage, the galea loses its resiliency, begins to thicken, expands outwardly and exerts pressure upon the adipose tissue. The pressure from the expanding galea is exerted upon the blood vessels and the lower end of the follicle. The result is that the papilla receives a decreased supply of oxygen and blood. The pressure also foreshortens the follicle. In the telogen stage, which is the terminal stage, the galea has expanded and has lost substantially all resiliency. The pressure decreases almost completely the blood flow to the papilla. The hair follicle because of the pressure shortens to approximately one-half its original length and without nutrient flow into the papilla, ceases to function. The hair follicle is not dead, but reaches the telogen or resting stage. In the telogen stage, the scalp cannot generally be displaced more than one-eighth inch upon the skull.
One of the main causes for falling hair is the reduced circulation of blood and lymph caused by the reduced size of the epithelial bed. In fact, the insufficient nourishment received by the hair, due to a decreased blood and lymph circulation in the epithelial bed in which it is inserted, as well as insufficient oxygen supply, causes the hair loss.
Also, the stagnation of waste matters arising from tissular breakdown and the accumulation of fats due to hypersecretion and poor elimination prevent the regular access of oxygen to the same tissues. In these conditions, the normal conditions for the hair growth are lacking, the hair falls and a difficult or impossible regrowth of a new hair occur.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,428,368 to Torii discloses a massage pulsating device which helps to promote the health and the beauty of the body. According to this reference, air suction and pressure are alternately applied on the surface of the body to activate the working of the subcutaneous tissue and to produce blood circulation by alternately causing the contraction and explansion in the subcutaneous muscular and cellular tissue, and to exchange the fats and other waste matters with fresh secretion. The massage device of this reference, however, could not be used on the scalp and would cause irritation of the scalp skin.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,841,322 to Spelio describes a process and apparatus for stimulating facial and neck tissue by improving lymphatic and venous circulation and improving arterial blood flow and reestablishing capillary permeability. The process consists of rhythmic mechanical manipulative action, i.e. application of cyclic contraction and relaxation to the facial and neck area, by means of frusto-conical cup connected to a variable pulsating vacuum pneumatic device. Spelio, U.S. Pat. No. 4,003,373 regulates the unit to give 130-190 revolutions per minute.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device for stimulating the scalp, stopping the fall of hair and promoting the hair growth.
It is another object of this invention to provide a method and a device which allow an increase in the blood circulation and the lymph in the scalp and the nourishment of the hair bulbs.
It has now been found that the above objects are achieved by a method which comprises the treatment of the scalp first with a sliding, zig-zag suction and then with localized, prolonged pulsating suction and decompression actions, applied at right angles to the skin, so as to cause a temporary dilatation of the capillaries and the vessels facilitate the flow of the blood and lymph and stimulate the circulation from the inside towards the outside and from the outside towards the inside.
The above suction actions are produced by two different suction means: the sliding suction and decompression action is obtained by frusto-conical suction means, running over the skin of the scalp; and the localized, prolonged and pulsating suction and decompression action is obtained by cup-shaped suction means, fixed to every area of the scalp.
Prior to and after the application of the two suction actions, the skin may be treated with a warm solution applied to the scalp including vasodilators, stimulants, fixatives of the blood and the lymph.
Before and after each treatment cycle, the follicular cycle dynamics of the hair of the patient is examined to determine the percentage of the hair in the anagen stage, in the catagen stage and in the telogen stage to establish the successive treatment cycle and conditions.
The studies of the follicular cycle dynamics are based on the dermatological tricological analysis, generally called trichogram (see Arthur Rook-Rodney Dawber-Malattie dei capelli e del cuoio capelluto LE-Capozzi Editore pages 14-17) which consists in comparing the hairs in the anagen and telogen stage by examination of pulled hair by microscope. This technique gives remarkable results provided that at least 20 hairs, and preferably 50 hairs are examined. Hair is washed 2 to 3 days before test, because washing eliminates hair in telogen stage. It should be noted that the hair root is much less damaged by quickly pulling rather than by a slow traction.
In normal subjects the percentage of hair is: man: 83% in the anagen stage; 2.9% in catagen stage and 15% in telogen stage. Woman: 85% in the anagen stage; 2.1% in catagen stage and 11% in telogen stage. The above technique is necessary to evaluate the three stages (anagen, catagen, telogen) because it allows to check if the telogen stage is altered, with an acceleration and therefore an increase of the number of hair in telogen stage.
The object of the sliding suction action followed by the prolonged suction, alternating with different values and therefore "pulsating", suction and decompression actions is that of creating a stimulation of the capillary tissue as high and as differentiated as possible. The stimulations, created by the suction actions of the suction cups, work with forces substantially at right angles to the skin and from the inside towards the outside and the outside towards the inside, drawing the blood and the lymph from the areas of greatest depth and stimulating the cellular metabolism and the expulsion of waste matters and stagnant water.
The sliding suction action is achieved by using frusto-conical suction cups, with a small diameter capable of creating a concentrated suction actions as they are transferred from one area of the scalp to the other, in a zig-zag fashion.
The vacuum generator can be of any well-known type and provided with connections for suction cups of various types for the suction actions required. The vacuum generator is provided with one or more regulators for the degree of vacuum and a timer to automatically determine the duration of each application.
The device then allows in the second stage for the cyclical variation of the degree of vacuum, in such a way that phases of greater vacuum alternate with phases of moderate vacuum and viceversa, as it also allows the variation of the time of each application. Devices for the programming and automatic regulation of the intensity, of the periods and the cycles can also be used.
According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the effects of the suction action are increased by a prior treatment of the epithelial cells with a warm solution applied to the scalp. The warm solution may include vaso-dilators, such as alcohol and sulphur, stimulants, such as nettle and burdock, "fixatives" of the blood and the lymph such as rosemary.
The stimulation of the hair bulbs by suction action, may be optionally followed by a treatment with infrared rays and with ultraviolet rays.
The crux of the present invention resides in using the sequence:
(a) a suction action, for a period of roughly 1 hour, with a vacuum generator provided with frusto-conical suction cups, sliding for roughly five minutes over all areas of the scalp in a zig-zag fashion;
(b) a suction action, for a period of roughly 1 hour, with a vacuum generator provided with wide diameter suction cups, fixed to every area of the scalp for roughly 10 minutes and with a "pulsating" and cyclic suction action that is alternating from high to low vacuum; carried out one after the other in the same sitting.
The treatment first with sliding suction and then with pulsating and cyclic suction is repeated once a week.
A warm solution containing vasodilators, stimulants and fixatives of the blood and the lymph is preferably applied prior to step (a) and/or after the step (b).
Infrared radiation for a period of about 10-15 minutes associated with the treatment with the warm solution described above, and ultraviolet radiation for a period of roughly 10 minutes may also be optionally used. The treatment with the warm solution is preferred in order to improve the suction actions and to give a refreshing and pleasant feeling to the patient.
In particular, the sliding suction cups used in step (a) must apply a vacuum sufficient to maintain a nearly tight contact on the skin, so that they can remain sucking, but at the same time they can slide on the scalp. For this purpose, a suitable shape in such that the end portion is formed by rounded off edges having a thickness high enough to bear the sealing load, by letting expand the inner air, but remaining easily slidable without irritating the outer epithelium, and massaging it upon sliding, while the inner vacuum sucks the blood and lymphatic fluids from the deeper layers.
A particularly suitable shape of sliding suction means is of frusto-conical type, having small diameter, preferably from 10 to 20 mm, with walls of about 2-4 mm in thickness, and with rounded edges, having a diameter of the same order of magnitude as of the walls. These sliding suction means are made of material which is neither heat-conductive, nor subject to be damaged and should not absorb moisture and fats. A polyamide is preferably used.
The stationary suction means used in step (b) are intended to operate under stationary positioning with pulsating suction, viz., with vacuum value alternately varying between maximum and minimum values and have a much greater surface area with a diameter of about 35-50 mm, so that when the vacuum varies between 0.1 and 0.75 kg/cm2, the suckers are kept under a thrust in the order of 2-15 kg, for about 10 minutes. Under loads of such values, they must remain for long time on an epithelial area without wearing off the skin at their edges, and for this purpose, a large-radius profiling of the edges and the adoption of a not irritating, not heat-conductive material are needed, due also to the reduced depth of the epithelial layer. Vacuum-generating appliances of known type, already applied for other treatments and equipped with joints for suckers and vacuum control means, can be used for the treatment of the thin epithelial layer which constitutes the scalp. It should be noted, however, that the appliance should allow the vacuum to be very finely graduated, so to promptly match the sensibility of the patient and operating condition for a well determined patient to be constantly preserved with time, must be used.
For this purpose, the present invention provides a particular model of appliance, which allows the steps of the cycle to be controlled and which permits to follow the progress by electronic moderators, in particular by a microprocessor.

FIG. 6 illustrates the use of frusto-conical suction cups for the treatment of the scalps of two patients at the same time;
FIG. 7 illustrates the use of suction cups for prolonged applications;
FIG. 8 shows the movements of the frusto-conical suction cups used on the front part of the head of the patient, and
FIG. 9 shows the movements of the frusto-conical suction cups used on the left side of the head of the patient.
In FIG. 1 the sliding suction means 1 is shown, of small diameter (from 10 to 20 mm, preferably 15 mm), which is placed on the skin 2 of the patient with its walls 3 of thickness "s1 ", and having its top edges with rounded profile, with a diameter equal to the same thickness "s2 ", preferably 2 mm.
The suction means is constituted by a not heat-conductive, semi-rigid material, preferably nylon 6 or nylon 66. It is obtained by moulding or by mechanical machining from rod, and is perfectly polished. When the stationary partial vacuum Vf, preferably of 0.3-0.75 kg/cm2 is applied, the skin 2 is deformed to 2', and comes to rest against the rounded edges, creating a fairly tight seal, without blocking the underlying capillaries, and allowing a manual side pressure to slowly slide the sucker throughout the portion of area of 2-6 cm to be treated with the vacuum not being interrupted. The treatment with the sliding suction means 1 is repeated for each portion of the scalp skin 2.
In FIG. 2A, the stationary suction means 5 applying the pulsating partial vacuum is shown; it is of larger diameter than suction means 1 (from 25 to 50 mm, preferably of 40 mm), and is lying on the skin 2, already previously treated by the sliding suction means 1, through the wall 6 ending with inwardly curved rounded edge 7 of thickness "s2 ", and with curvature diameters equal to the same thickness, and preferably of 4 mm. The suction means 5, in this case too, made from semirigid and not heat-conductive material, preferably from nylon 6 or 66, which does not irritate the skin, and can produce a tight seal without intermediate gaskets even under very low values of vacuum VP which can alternatively vary between vacuum of from 0.1 to 0.75 kg/cm2, so maintaining a thrust ranging from 2 to 15 kg. Under such a vacuum variable with selected frequency, the skin 2 is cyclically deformed between extreme positions 2" and 2'", which create a continuous perpendicular flux and reflux between the outmost and the deepest epithelial layers, whilst the magnitude of the deformed area induces also transversal equalizer fluxes.
The small diameter sliding suction means 1 is provided with a rounded smooth edge for the contact with the scalp surface. The stationary suction means 5 is provided with an inwardly curved peripheral flange 7 for assuring the stability of the suction means on the skin in the vacuum stage and for avoiding compressions on the skin which prevent the blood afflux from the deepest derm to the surface derm. The outwardly curved flanges would not be suitable for this purpose. Suction means 1 and 5 are connected by means of the usual flexible hoses with screw, plug or bayonet joint to the central panel board of the appliance, mounted with the container, wherein the vacuum pump and the actuating pneumatic devices, as well as the electrical and electronic actuation devices are housed, being inspectable. In particular, and referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, from the vacuum pump 40 two pneumatic circuits 41 and 42 branch off, respectively for the sliding suction and the pulsating suction, each circuit being provided with micrometric adjustment means 43 and 44 respectively, and with vacuum gages 45 and 46 respectively.
The circuit of the pulsating suction is connected also to the pressure regulator 47, which allows the cyclic partial inlet of air to reduce the vacuum level. The regulators operate under control by an electronic circuit, which define very finely the values, and guarantees their exact reproducibility with time.
The function of the sliding massage is always performed by one single suction means D of type 1 of FIG. 1, whilst the function of suction locally stable and with value cyclically variable between minimum and a maximum value can be performed by two suction means, by the joints A, B being multiple, so that at the same time either a plurality of suction means of the same shape can be operating, or some suction means having a diameter reduced to about 25 mm (see FIG. 2B) can be used, to match particular profiles of patient's head.
In the writing diagram of FIG. 5, the electric or electronic components from normal industrial production are shown, which actuate and control the pneumatic device throughout its various operating steps. A power feeder 50, connected to the mains (generally at 220 V 50 Hz), by switching on switch 51 feeds both the motor of the vacuum generator 40, and the timer 52, as well as the cadencer 53 (or a microprocessor cumulating both these functions), which can be switched over (in the particular embodiment shown) so to actuate either of the adjustable pulsating vacuum lines A-B.
A subordinate switch 54 actuates the massage line through D. All timed operations are signalled by light indicators 55 and are controlled by the timer or the microprocessor and displayed, as regards the residual time to dispatch the step, by the integrator display 31 (see FIG. 3).
All controls and supervision instruments indicated in the diagrams are installed on one single front panel board 30 (see FIG. 3), together with the vacuum gauges 45 and 46 of the two steps. According to an embodiment of the present invention, each sitting of the treatment of the scalp comprises the following stages carried out in succession and in the following sequence:
A warm solution is applied to the scalp for roughly 10 minutes which is made up of:
1 liter of pure alcohol,
100 gr. of rosemary,
100 gr. of nettle,
50 gr. of burdock,
10 liters of warm distilled water, and
100 gr. of precipitated sulphur.
The sulphur and the alcohol act as "vasodilators". The rosemary acts as "fixative" in the sense that it contributes to stabilize close to the hair bulbs the blood drawn up by the suction cups in the suction treatment in the following phase.
The nettle and the burdock are cell stimulants and contribute to the revitalization and growth of the hair.
This treatment has the object of warming the cells and preparing them for the physiotherapy treatment to follow.
In this stage, which is of a physiotherapy type, use is made of the vacuum generator provided with the connections D for frusto-conical sliding suction cups 1 and A and B for stationary suction cups 5. Each frusto-conical suction cup 1 has a single suction hole which creates a concentrate and passing suction action.
The frusto-conical suction cups 1 are made to run over the skin thus creating a momentary suction action. Wide diameter suction cups 5 create a localized "prolonged" suction action, that is suction cups which remain attached to one point on the skin for a certain interval of time.
The suction actions of the large diameter suction cups 5 are of the "pulsating" type, that is the degree of vacuum is varied cyclically. Flexible connections 28 join the suction cups 1 and 5 to the respective connections A and B or D of the device 30.
The suction cups are attached and detached easily from the respective connection by means of bayonet connections, or of another type, not indicated on the drawings.
This second stage is done in two phases: in the first phase the "sliding" suction frusto-conical cups 1 are made to run over the scalp, for example on the heads X (seen from the side) and Y (seen from the back) of two patients; (FIGS. 8 and 9) in FIG. 6 the arrows indicate the route of the suction cups at each area. The suction cups 1 indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 6 are at the beginning of the route and those indicated by a full line are at the end of the same. The distance between the beginning and the end of the route is about 2-6 cm.
In this first phase, the suction is discontinuous or at intervals. When one area is covered, one passes to the following adjacent area in a sort of zig-zag.
Each area requires a treatment of more or less 5 minutes and the entire sitting is more or less one hour.
In the second phase, likewise of roughly 1 hour, the "fixed-pulsating" suction cups 5 are used which are applied (FIG. 7) to the areas of the head of patient X who has already undergone the first phase of treatment.
Tests made by Applicant proved that the concentrated passing suction action must be carried out before the localized prolonged suction action.
The average time of application, for each area, is roughly 10 minutes. In this second phase, the suction is cyclic. During this phase the device, correctly regulated, cyclically determines a phase of maximum vacuum value of the duration of roughly 12-14 seconds and then a phase with a lower value of 7-8 seconds. The number of the cyclic evolutions is 3-5 for min.
After this treatment with the pulsating suction cups, the treated scalp may be treated with warm packs of the solution used in the first phase, using the infrared rays for heating. Ultaviolet rays may be optionally used for a progressive time of from 3-15 minutes.
The total duration of each sitting is roughly 2.5 hours and is given once a week.
Tests made by the Applicant on many patients have shown interruption in the fall of hair right from the first few weeks of the treatment. After roughly ten weeks a beginning of regrowth was found. Obviously the treatment described can be given on all parts of the head and therefore even on the front of the head X (FIG. 8) or on the opposite side (FIG. 9). The arrows show the movements preferable for the "sliding" application. Naturally treatment can be given with the device to several patients at the same time. Thus, for example, FIG. 6 shows the treatment with sliding suction cups 1 on both the back part of the head of patient X and on the right side of patient Y. The suction cups 5 can be applied to a third patient who has finished the treatment with the sliding suction cups. Suction actions of various types obtained with the frusto-conical and the large diameter suction cups create on the various areas of the scalp effects similar to massage but much more intense and with the difference that they work at right angles to the skin and not predominantly parallel as with the massage itself.
The suction action also causes a temporary dilatation of the capillaries and the vessels greatly facilitating the flow of blood and lymph. The pulsating suction action from two or more different vacuum values determines, owing to a natural internal reaction, a stimulation of the circulation from the inside towards the outside and from the outside towards the inside.
The result is that the treatment subject of this invention increases the circulation by drawing from the lower levels the blood and the nutrients, while the toxic waste is eliminated and the cellular metabolism is greatly increased.
The method of the present invention was applied on about 3,000 patients suffering from a generic (hormonal, seborric or hereditary) baldness or from a stress deriving baldness (telogen effluvium). The results obtained are listed in the following tablets; the patients are subdivided according to the starting baldness stages, as classified by Arthur Rook-Rodney Dawber-"Malattie dei capelli e del cuoio capelluto" LE-Capozzi Editore, pages 108-110, and the age.
The results were determined by the visual and trichogram analysis of the hair before and after the treatment. In the tables, the result is given by the percentage of hair growth.

The following experiments demonstrate that it is necessary to carry out the treatment first with the sliding suction cups and then with the pulsating stationary suction cups of larger diameter and that the opposite sequence would not be satisfactory.
Further, it is necessary to apply both types of suction in sequence. Fifteen test subjects having varying degrees of hair loss and of varying ages were selected and status of the test subjects is reported in the attached table. The test subjects were divided into three groups (Group A, Group B and Group C). Each group of five test subjects was subjected to the following treatments:
Each test subject was subjected to a massage treatment with a warm solution, applied to the scalp for about 10 minutes, consisting of:
1 l. of pure alcohol,
100 g. of rosemary,
100 g. of nettle,
50 g. of burdock,
10 l. of warm distilled water, and
100 g. of precipitated sulphur.
Each test subject, treated with the warm solution, was subjected to a sliding suction action by means of the frusto-conical suction means having a diameter of 15 mm, connected to a vacuum generator. The vacuum value was 0.5 kg/cm2. The area involved in each treatment was about 4 cm2 and the treatment was carried out in a zig-zag fashion by sliding the suction means over the skin of the scalp.
The treatment time for each area was about 5 minutes and the entire setting about 1 hour.

The reason for using the two steps in the sequence mentioned herein-above is that if the pulsating suction were applied first with the large suction means, the skin would be raised too much and massage could not be carried out because it would cause too much irritation. Further, it is important when the cyclic pulsating suction is applied to have the inner bead in the suction cups as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, and that the material be rigid, otherwise if a deformable material were used and without the inner bead, the skin would be raised. The treatment is carried out for a period of 10 weeks with a two-hour duration each week. The first treatment with the sliding frustoconical suction cups lasts about one hour and is carried out about 1.5 minutes per each area of the scalp. The second treatment with the pulsating cyclic suction cups is also carried out for one hour applying the suction cups for about 10 minutes for each section of the scalp. In the treatment with the pulsating suction cups, the vacuum varies from a minimum of 0.1-0.75 kg/cm2 to a maximum of 2-15 kg/cm2 This corresponds to a minimum of 2-3 cycles per minute.

Grand Ole Opry stage sat under 2 feet of water
NASHVILLE, Tenn. The iconic Grand Ole Opry House stage sat under 2 feet of water at the peak of deadly floods that ravaged Tennessee last weekend, but there was finally a bit of good news for residents facing a relentless grind of death and destruction.
Even as rising water lapped around their knees, a group of 10 to 15 workers moved some of the hall's most precious music memorabilia out of harm's way and Opry officials said Friday they are optimistic they can restore much of what has been damaged.
"It breaks your heart, but it's our responsibility to be sure that that building comes back to life, and it will," Opry president Steve Buchanan said.
The outlook for other devastated areas of Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky looked more grim: The death toll climbed to 31 with the discovery of a missing kayaker's body in Kentucky. Twenty died in Tennessee alone.
Mayor Karl Dean raised the damage estimate for Nashville alone to $1.5 billion Friday, with 17 percent of Davidson County still to be checked. Already officials know 9,300 properties have been damaged and almost 2,000 of those are residences. Dean said the damage total will go up because it doesn't include damage to roads, bridges or the contents of the buildings.
"While the numbers seem daunting, and they truly are large, Nashville is in the process of recovering," Dean said.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano planned to tour the area Saturday. She'll find residents already repairing their homes and business owners pushing to re-open as the Federal Emergency Management Agency is handing out money. More than 12,000 Tennesseans had registered with FEMA for disaster assistance by midmorning Friday with 250 inspections complete, and the agency had already approved $1.5 million in individual assistance.
The Opry House faced one problem: It's easy to put a value on a waterlogged couch, but how do you price Porter Wagoner's dressing room or the instruments in the Roy Acuff collection at the Opry House?
Buchanan gave details Friday on how Opry employees whisked away instruments, tapes and other important pieces to safety Sunday night at the Opry House as water overran a nearby levee. He did not want to give details on specific pieces, but "a lot of very important pieces" were moved.
"There's been moments we felt great - we got these items and they are safe and fine," Buchanan said. "But we will not feel a sense of relief until we've been through this entire process."
One special concern - the 6-foot circle of floorboards from the old Ryman Auditorium stage that was home to the Opry for so long - appears to be salvageable.
"It is in remarkably good condition," Buchanan said. "We will ultimately need to replace the stage. But we replaced the stage every few years, but not the circle. The circle will be back center stage very soon."
Gear that several musicians - from stars to session players - stored in lockers at the Opry House were inundated, though.

Pickup line for old people: Hey baby, you better call life alert, cause i've fallen for you and can't get up.
Looking for a good man with goals and dreams to be the best they can be. Seeks true love, a shoulder to cry on, good laughs, and a best friend for life. A jack of all trades would be a plus. I'm a communication type of girl. I like talking on the phone or in person once I warm up. I also like talking in bed instead of turning on the tv. Relationships become stronger that way. I also love reading a good book in bed before sleeping. I'm a real goofball and a dork also a bit nerdy. I love to play video games. Halo, call of duty and need for speed just to name a few. Romance still lives in my heart. I'm working on my pharmacy career and hope to be at the forefront of my career. I love my friends and family very much. In a nutshell: I'm sweet, funny, smart, romantic, coffee addict, loves music and concerts, likes to read, cook, travel, sightseeing, enjoys movies but mostly comedy and horror. Who doesn't like a good laugh and i'd make a good cuddle buddy when the movie gets too scary. If I put too much here I won't be a mystery. And what's the fun in being predictable. ;)

Name: Andrew Heo (pronounced HEE-oh)
Age: 31
Organization: Civilian: Air Force's Space Logistics Group, Sustainment Division; Reserve: 14th Test Squadron (14TS)
Title: Civilian: Information Assurance and Logistics Manager; Reserve: Information Assurance and Vulnerability Assessment Test Manager
Nominated for: His logistics, communications and test evaluation roles for the Air Force. During the past year, he overhauled the information assurance program, ensuring that $10 billion of Space-Based Infrared System assets have worldwide availability. He is an active community volunteer and was recently named a Distinguished Young AFCEAn of the Year. Heo also completed a rigorous information systems professional track at the National Defense University and is completing his doctorate in management.
First IT mentor: Col. Steve Hennessy. I was his executive officer at Scott Air Force Base, and he truly valued the power of mentoring. Col. Hennessy always made the office environment comfortable and engaging to his personnel, ensuring they had the right tools to get the job done. His ability to connect with his team and provide scaled and valuable mentoring were unparalleled in any commander I had ever seen. Additionally, he always communicated to me that being well rounded and knowing how to engage with people are valuable traits to have. Finally, the most important thing he taught me was that doing the right thing for the right reasons is critically important to being a respected leader.
Latest accomplishment on the job: Recently, I was assigned to be the sustainment lead for one of the [Space-Based Infrared System] sites to ensure that requirements directly given from operators are readily translated to our sustainment engineers. Being able to speak both languages and helping facilitate our warfighters are daily accomplishments.
Career highlight: It has been amazing to be part of the 14TS and help stand up an information assurance testing capability for the Air Force Space Command. It's a unique team comprised of some of the hardest-working IT professionals I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. We bring our "A" game to try to meet the challenges that information assurance presents to all stakeholders of a system.
Favorite job-related bookmark: Google.com. Not only do I use this site to look up important knowledge about events going on both nationally and globally but I also use it every day to learn something new about my job and career.
Favorite app: Mint is a great application that is easy to use. It offers the ability to look at your whole financial picture in one consolidated program. It's also a great tool to see how many times you were too lazy to make dinner and took the family out to eat instead!
Dream non-IT-related job: General manager of a professional sports franchise. It would be great to take a small-money market team and take down any of those overspending teams who always try to "buy" championships. I'll take a team of passionate players who put out their best effort any day.

Laurence Reisman: It shouldn't take 140 characters to describe why Indian River County's water-sewer survey of South Beach residents belongs in the trash heap
As someone obsessed with learning, then sharing, on Twitter — even with its 140-character limit — it's easy to find 10 characters that describe a survey sent out by Indian River County last month.
I could add: WASTEFUL
The survey, sent to 4,000 South Beach property owners who receive Vero Beach water or wastewater service, asks whether they want service from the city or Indian River County when the city-county franchises expire in 2017.
Cost of the survey: Only $5,800, according to Jason Brown, the county's budget director, adding that the South Beach Property Owners Association asked for the vote. The surveys, sent by a contractor, have a spot for the names and signatures of property owners and include their addresses and a survey control number on each ballot.
So much for getting an honest assessment of each property owner. When was the last time government asked you to vote, but your ballot included your name, signature and address?
The issue came about largely because some people on South Beach are tired of paying electric, water and sewer bills to the city without representation.
In the case of electric rates, the city's are outrageous, so there's a wise move to sell the utility to FPL, which has the cheapest rates in Florida. A few years ago, city officials proposed plans to dramatically increase its water-sewer rates, but have since backed off — in part fearing customer backlash. Meantime, City Manager Jim O'Connor has made efforts to streamline the once bloated operation.
The issue is fraught with politics and squabbles between some county commissioners, city council members and their staffs. Cutting through the baloney, survey recipients received little data to help them determine which way to vote.
Frankly, the whole notion of this nonbinding water-sewer survey seems irrelevant. If the county does not want to renew its franchise, will it buy the city's pipe or lay its own to serve South Beach? Unlikely. Perhaps the county could use the survey — as silly as it is — as a bargaining chip to renegotiate with the city.
But the city already showed its commitment to non-city customers by offering favorable rates to customers in Indian River Shores, who renewed their franchise last year. O'Connor said he is willing to offer South Beach folks the same deal.
But the best option for all customers is for the city and county to stop butting heads and really work together to form a regional utility. Sadly, to this point, neither side has shown that it has selfless leaders willing to work in the best interest of everyone.
The county's lowball offer to buy the city's water-sewer service was dissed by the city, so the county took the acquisition off the table. A merger makes more sense.
As for which utility is better? As a customer served by each utility in my 28 years here, I prefer the city's water, yet I think the county runs a more efficient operation.
If I received a survey, I'd vote by tossing it in the basket for waste — which is where it belongs.
As for Twitter (Twitter.com), I am amazed at how much information is at my fingertips. I "follow" 77 people, so on my phone or computer I see what they're interested in and what they've been reading. They often send what their followers have been reading.
One of the people I follow is Scott Milfred, editorial page editor at the Wisconsin State Journal. He follows Roger Simon, chief political columnist at Politico, who tweeted early Friday morning a joke from Conan O'Brien: "President Obama can order drone strikes on American citizens. So this is the last Obama joke I will be doing."
Over the past week I've learned more about the deficit, fledging online companies and received breaking news alerts from around the world. I've broken my own news, referred my followers to some great stuff I've read and even reprinted my 1988 Press Journal article in which I proposed to my wife.
I'm nearing my 1,000th tweet and 200th follower. If you become No. 200, I'll write about you in a future column. So, tweet me and follow: email@example.com

|Cultural Heritage Significance
|Principal Period
of Significance
|1880s (fabric) 1880- 1975 (historical use)
|Criterion A
|The former Queensland National Bank building erected in 1880, forms part of the historic Quay Street precinct which is distinguished by its late 19th century commercial buildings. The Quay Street precinct stands as a legacy to the rise of the Port of Rockhampton which served the vast area of central Queensland from 1858. The port was influential in establishing Rockhampton as the premier commercial city of central Queensland and the river wharves fostered the substantial commercial development along Quay Street, enabling it to become the principal business district of the city. The solidity of the buildings were a symbol of Rockhampton's wealth and reflected the confidence with which the community and developers viewed Rockhampton's future.
|Criterion D
|The former Queensland National Bank is an outstanding example of 19th century colonial bank architecture. It demonstrates the principal characteristics of a substantial commercial building in the Classical Revival style, distinguished by the quality of its detailing and materials.
|Criterion E
|The former bank building contributes significantly to the 19th century quayside of Quay Street being one the grandest and most prominently positioned buildings in the street.
|Criterion G
|The former bank building has special association for the people of Rockhampton through its significant aesthetic and historic contribution to Quay Street, which for many is the symbol of Rockhampton and is very closely associated with the image of the city.
|Criterion H
|Designed by FDG Stanley, the building is one of his finest works which bears testament to the prominence of Stanley's work in Queensland.
|The former Queensland National Bank is an imposing two-storeyed rendered brickwork building situated on the corner of Quay and Denham Streets in Rockhampton. It was erected in 1880 for the Queensland National Bank to the design of Colonial Architect FDG Stanley, however it was part of his private contractual work. It was constructed by Rockhampton builders Collins & Mclean for £8000. The Queensland National Bank was the first and most successful of Queensland's three 19th century banks. It was established in 1872 and by 1880, (the year of the construction of the Rockhampton branch) the bank held 40 per cent of the total deposits and advances in Queensland, a higher proportion than any other banking institution in any Australian Colony. The Rockhampton branch was situated in Quay Street, a precinct of solid commercial buildings which developed to serve the passing trade at the wharves from the 1860s until the early 1900s. The former bank's expression of confidence reflected the prosperity the river wharves brought to Quay Street during this period of high commercial activity. Although many of the fine buildings in the locality had their origins from Mount Morgan wealth, this bank predated the discovery of gold at Mount Morgan in 1882 by two years. The construction of a building of this calibre reflected the established success of Rockhampton as a major trade and transport centre of Queensland by the early 1880s. Stanley's design for the building consisted of a banking chamber on its first floor, with a second storey providing a living residence for the bank manager. This combined function was performed by the building for nearly a century. At the time of its construction the Morning Bulletin referred to it as a "handsome structure". It was described by a visiting correspondent from the Brisbane Courier in 1893, as being "a stately colonnaded building". The Queensland National Bank was to become a regular client of Stanley. Stanley's most impressive bank building was the headquarters of the Queensland National Bank in Brisbane which he designed in 1880 and was completed in 1885. Other Queensland National Banks designed by Stanley included, St. George 1878-9, Maryborough 1881 (QHR 600694), Warwick 1881-2, Toowoomba 1885 and Bundaberg 1887. In 1886, Rockhampton architect John W Wilson called for tenders for painting the exterior of the building. Further work to the bank building was carried out under Wilson's supervision in May 1887 including painting and repairs to the building. The Queensland National Bank on the corner of Quay and Denham Streets was vacated in 1975. The banking company moved from the premises to new offices situated in East Street. In April 1975, the former bank building was purchased by the legal firm Rees R & Sydney Jones who had occupied a building three doors away since 1886. Rees Rutland Jones founded the legal firm in 1864 establishing what is today the oldest legal firm in Queensland operating under its original name. Rees R Jones was one of the best known legal practitioners and prominent public identities in central Queensland, eventually becoming a member of the Municipal Council, member for Rockhampton North in the Queensland Legislative Assembly, solicitor for the Mount Morgan Gold Mining Company and the town solicitor from the years 1871 until 1896. Rees R Jones at the time of his death was the oldest practitioner on the Roll of the Supreme Court. Repairs to the former bank building as well as modifications to the internal arrangements of the banking chamber were carried out after the change of ownership in 1975. The original entrance to the building leading from Denham Street was altered, creating a new main entrance off Quay Street. This helped to maintain continuity for the legal firm whose former offices fronted Quay Street. In 1987 further upgrading of the work environment and the introduction of new work practices saw the refurbishment of the premises in 1988. The ground floor of the building (former banking chamber) was redesigned to accommodate professional members of the firm as well as the support and administrative staff. With the increase in staff numbers and the introduction of new workplace technologies, it was decided that a mezzanine floor should be built between the ground and first floor. The first floor of the building (the former living quarters and residence of the Bank Manager) was converted into an area containing the Law Library, Board Room, interview rooms, kitchen and staff rooms. The exterior of the building was repainted, and the interior re-carpeted. Externally the glass and aluminium sections that enclosed the Quay Street second storey verandah were removed opening up the verandah. Extensive areas of the original timber ground floor supporting structures were replaced. The entrance from Quay Street was also closed off and the main entry from Denham Street was reinstated, complying with the original design for the building. The refurbishment was finished in 1989. Additional work was also undertaken in 1993-4.
|The former National Bank building is prominently located on the corner of Quay and Denham Streets, Rockhampton. The two storeyed rendered brick building has classically composed and detailed facades addressing both streets, with the principal entrance to the former banking chamber off Denham Street, and the entrance to the stair hall and former first floor residence off Quay Street. A shallow pitched hipped corrugated iron roof is concealed behind an Italianate balustrade surmounting the principal facades. The principal facades of the former National Bank comprise two storeyed arcaded loggias. The arched openings are separated with double storeyed smooth finished pilasters with moulded bases and Corinthian capitals. These visually support an entablature comprising base string mouldings, a frieze with moulded rondels aligned with the pilasters and, above this, a dentilled cornice. Projecting slightly from the seven bay Denham Street facade is a central entrance portico with detailing consistent with the loggia with a triangular pediment bordered with the dentilled cornice moulding surmounting the entablature. The arched openings on the facades of the former National Bank have semi circular heads, with moulded architraves and imposts flanking the pilasters separating the openings. More decorative moulding around the arches emphasises the central projecting bay. The Quay Street facade extends for five bays, the middle bay of which has been recently infilled for the installation of a lift. The arched openings are linked by cast iron balustrading on the two storeys. The ground floor loggia has concrete floors and a ceiling clad with small gauge corrugated iron and braced with chamfered timber beams. The upper storey loggia, which features arched openings of shorter proportion than those on the ground floor, has a timber boarded floor and ceiling. The principal opening off Denham Street, accessed through the loggia within the projecting portico is a substantial double timber panelled and moulded door, with semi circular fanlight above, leading into a small entrance vestibule from which double timber framed and glazed doors, also with semi circular fanlight above, give access to the former banking chamber. Surrounding the double timber doors on the external wall is a plaster moulded architrave with prominent keystone. Flanking the doorway are two groups of three round arched window openings fitted with vertical sash windows and fixed louvre timber shutters. The moulded sills of these openings, and of those on the Quay Street facade of the building are integrated into a continuous string moulding at this level. At the northern end of the Quay Street facade is another entrance, comprising a single six panelled door flanked by sidelights, with a semi circular fanlight above. The first floor level features French door openings that correspond to the openings on the ground floor and also have round arched heads. Internally the building can still be appreciated as a former bank, with layout evident on both floors, although recent modifications have been made. From the principal entrance, access is provided to the former banking chamber that is a large room in the centre of the ground floor of the building. The room is interspersed with several masonry piers and pilasters with Corinthian capitals, recalling the external detailing and providing support for large ceiling beams and defining the area where banking desks may have been formerly aligned. As well there are several cast iron columns, also with Corinthian capitals. The ceiling in this space has been replaced with a modern plasterboard ceiling through which services, including air conditioning, lighting and fire services, have been inserted. A modern steel framed mezzanine level has been added to the banking chamber. In a corner is a heavy masonry banking safe with a large iron door (John Tann, Patentee, London) and, internally, a vaulted concrete ceiling. Around the perimeter of the banking chamber access is provided via good quality moulded and panelled cedar doors to many offices that line the external walls of the ground floor. The principal stair is located in the hall off the principal opening to the building on Quay Street. This dog leg stair has a large carved timber newel, cast iron balustrade and is cantilevered from the adjacent walls. The first floor level, which is smaller in plan than the ground floor, houses five major rooms arranged in an L-shaped plan along the two principal facades of the building. Access is provided to these rooms from an L-shaped hallway beginning at the stair hall and continuing around the rear of the building. Generally the interior of the building has plaster clad walls with timber skirtings, concrete floors on the lower floor and timber floors on the first floor and plaster ceilings with deep plaster cornices. The joinery throughout the building is of very good quality cedar. Several chimney pieces survive intact including, on the ground floor, an ebonised timber with marbled infill panels, and on the first floor a green marble piece with red marble inserts as well as a white marble piece. These chimney pieces are complete with cast iron fire places.

It certainly seems that way with the Buckeyes jumping out to a 6-0 start following their smashing win against Nebraska this past weekend. Urban Meyer has the Buckeyes thinking big once agin, but a postseason ban will mean the fun really starts next season. Regardless, Ohio State is opening some eyes now, and they are scary.Here is a quick look at how I graded three of the Big Ten Leaders Division teams midway through their season.

Lefty Tsuyoshi Wada has an injury to his left elbow and could be facing surgery. There was no specific terminology given to the injury, which Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter deemed "a problem" following Tuesday's 2-1 win over Toronto. Showalter stopped short of calling it a tear, but the issue is with the ligament in his pitching elbow. It's an injury, Showalter said, that didn't appear in his initial physical exam in the winter. Wada, 31, signed a two-year, $8 million contract in the winter, and was expected to vie for a spot in the back end of the rotation or as a long reliever. Instead, he's facing the prospect of a season-ending injury before his season even began. Regardless of the extent of the injury and the resulting action -- be it rest, rehab or surgery -- the Orioles can write off Wada for at least the first half of the 2012 season. Even if healthy, there's no assurance Wada would be in the rotation at this point in the season. However, he...
