But apparently a tear in the carotid artery is the leading cause in strokes among young people.
1540s, "pertaining to the two great arteries of the neck," from Greek karotides "great arteries of the neck," plural of karotis, from karoun "plunge into sleep or stupor," because compression of these arteries was believed to cause unconsciousness (Galen). But if this is folk etymology, the Greek word could be from kara "head," related to kranion "skull, upper part of the head," from PIE root *ker- "horn, head" (see horn (n.)).
carotid artery n.
An artery that originates on the right from the brachiocephalic artery and on the left from the aortic arch, runs upward into the neck and divides opposite the upper border of the thyroid cartilage, with the external and internal carotid arteries as its terminal branches; common carotid artery.
An artery with its origin in the common carotid artery, with branches to the superior thyroid, lingual, facial, occipital, posterior auricular, and ascending pharyngeal arteries, and with the maxillary and superficial temporal arteries as its terminal branches; external carotid artery.
An artery that arises from the common carotid artery opposite the upper border of the thyroid cartilage and terminates in the middle cranial fossa by dividing into the anterior and the middle cerebral arteries; internal carotid artery.
carotid ca·rot·id (kə-rŏt'ĭd)
Either of two major arteries, one on each side of the neck, that carry blood to the head. adj.
Relating to either of these arteries.

But there is also a separate 2002 FEC enforcement case that says a personal gift from a long-time friend could be used to make a divorce payment because of a pre-existing relationship and the fact that the loan wasn't given to advance a candidacy.
"The bottom line here is that in order for this to fall within the campaign-finance area, the money will have to have been some way coordinated with Edwards or his campaign," said Democracy 21 President Fred Wertheimer, who follows campaign finance law. "That makes the money which did not go through the campaign committee, nevertheless, an illegal campaign contribution or expenditure."
Some believe this case could ultimately serve to highlight problems with campaign finance law.
"The problem is that campaign finance law is overly complicated," Allison Hayward of the Center for Competitive Politics said. "Here we have an individual who has engaged in what most people would say is egregious behavior but the statute provides no ready answer for either the prosecutors or the defense attorney."

Originally written on Fox Sports Midwest | Last updated 10/12/12
We all make choices in life. They range from serious to frivolous: Which car to drive, where to attend college, whom to approach at a nightclub, whom to date, whom to call at 3 a.m. if we need to post bond. We face decisions each day. Go back to January, and Jeff Fisher had a choice between South Florida sun and a Midwest franchise that had set. The St. Louis Rams were as stable as waves off Key West in a tropical storm after Steve Spagnuolo was fired. They went 15-65 in the last five years. They paid Josh McDaniels real money. They devised "Ram Rules." Little went right. Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins rolled out the velvet carpet in their courtship of the former Tennessee Titans coach. They flew him to their Davie, Fla., facility via helicopter. They trotted out Carl Peterson. They ran two separate searches, knowing that, much like the current pair of New York Jets quarterbacks, two equals none at all. In the end, the chase worked out for everyone. The Rams got their man and t...

So this weekend, I had it ALL working.
Then yesterday I discovered I had a problem, I could not dial out to C*NET.
I thought, it must have been a FreePBX module I installed.
Nope that didn't fix it.
Oh well, reinstall time.
BAD idea, this made things much worse, because I didn't even think of ONE little thing, see, as I discovered someone told me after I ranted on the C*NET mailing list. CentOS has an issue with setting static domains with netconfig. See I had a problem with that before, and fixed it, but didn't realize what it was, or if what I did actually was what had fixed it.
I ranted and grumbled and wasted those guys time, when I should have know better.
and you know what the problem was? There was an outbound route that was getting in the way that I should have deleted anyway.
What's going on there PhoneGnome? For more than 5 hours my device has not been connecting, and I can not get to my.phonegnome.com.
Data center problems? No status update on the blog? That's not good customer service!
Telling your users/customers nothing, is worse than giving bad news.
When I was a kid I liked the idea of being able to pick up the phone to find out the time, or the weather. That's REALLY what fascinated me about phones, not talking to people, but having a machine talk back to me, locally we always had phone numbers you could call to do that, like the time number 358-1212 or the number a local TV station, channel 17 had provided to get information, 641-1717
As I got older, I also became fascinated with Voice over IP (or VoIP] technologies, I once had a phone attached to my computer and had Vocaltec Internet Phone software, back when I still was on dialup. I also played with a Windows port of Asterisk once, just to see how such an awesome VoIP PBX actually worked, and a FREE one no less.
Just before I moved into my own place, I started thinking about setting up my own Asterisk server here and doing some cool things with it.
As a starting point, I got a new magicJack, and a PhoneGnome, and a cordless phone that I could blue tooth link to my mobile phone. Once I got that all set up and working, I wanted MORE. Then I got Bria for my notebook, and started playing with that, BUT I still wanted Asterisk.
In my searches of what all I could do with Asterisk, I stumbled upon C*NET. DANG so if I get onto that, I can call all of those numbers? People with phone switching equipment and old phones connected to Asterisk? WANT! Oh and wait, I can get check the weather too?
So, I asked if I could take some of the old computer equipment home from the office. I have been working on this for a few weeks now.
And guess what!?!? I AM ON C*NET
Now what I have at the moment, pales in comparison to, for instance, Los Angeles Telephone or Green Mountain Telephone
But it's mine. 1-260 on C*NET is MIIIIIIIIIINE!
Right now I am running PBX in a Flash (PiaF-Purple) and I can dial out to PSTN numbers with a 9+number, C*NET with an 8+number, and tollfree numbers just as they are.
More to come
Why, does Document Manager STILL not install on Windows 7 64-bit? Hello? HELLO MCFLY? Anyone home over there? Windows 7 64-bit has been around long enough for there to be support for it, and for that matter, we can't be the only people having this issue. GET WITH THE TIMES!
Also, please, please stop screwing with your site, I have to Google for the drivers for our Document Center, because you make it impossible to find the right part of the site! NICE with the complicated junk and the redirects… also, your "business support" link just takes me back to the front page of the site.
A couple of weeks ago, I got a brand new, 3rd generation Amazon Kindle, my second Kindle I have ever owned. Today, after realizing my iPod didn't sync right, I decided I would pick up my Kindle today instead, slide the switch….uh oh
Part of the screensaver remained on the screen, and from there it only gets worse! Tried to troubleshoot it, and reset the thing, and reset the thing, and reset the thing, and reset the thing. After each reset the screen got worse.
Shot an email off to support, they told me to call, so they could go through it with me, and possibly file a warranty claim, so I called, and was told to charge it and follow the hard reset instructions in the email I was sent. Guess what, it's exactly what I already did, about four times.
This is really beginning to make me mad, this was a brand new barely used Kindle. My "Oh that site is awesome" view of Amazon is gone. Don't hate, never hate, but am just blah over it all. Especially after so much has been breaking in my office the last week or so, I really am not happy with machines right now.
EDIT: New Kindle coming next week, just had to get to the right people on the phone, no hassle at all the second try.
Why do things close so early, like the Comcast office by my house at 6! PEOPLE WORK, PEOPLE WHO NEED TO STOP BY THERE can't go before that time! 6? What idiot chooses 6pm?
Can you tell support people are frustrating me?
These last two nights, I've been trying to set up a cable box for my grandmother, and anyone who knows me personally knows I know more about this stuff than the people on the phone do, I use a friend who works for them as an example, he comes to me for tech help. The box won't turn on at all, and just flickers 88:88 every so often.
My grandmother decided to call even though I recommended against it, and the guy on the phone was not only hard to understand, but it appears he either did not understand me, or was not paying attention. I told him the box would not turn on, after some back and forth trying to figure out what box it is, he puts me on hold and doesn't say he's putting me on hold.
Then he takes me back off hold and says "Well maybe it's not turned on" NO KIDDING, I just said it would NOT TURN ON, he sent a reset signal, and it disconnected the phone call, because she has Comcast phone. How stupid can you be, send the wrong reset signal, and he kept referring to the cable box as a modem.
EDIT 06/22/11: Changed title from "Comcast stupidity" to "More Comcast issues" and made some edits to make it easier to read. I wanted to go back and change it yesterday, but WordPress was acting up. Also changed "making me mad" to "frustrating me" I was just having a bad day.
I will happily make it public, how incompetent Prosper.com support people are.
Prosper is an interesting concept, it's a p2p loan service, making it easier for people to get loans when they need them, from people willing to loan their own money, it's very well set up.
In the last year, I have made about 6 attempts to get my bank account information updated with Prosper.com. Each time, they tell me to either fax it or scan it, because my driver's license isn't light enough. A Florida driver's license is made so that it is next to imposible to make perfect copies of, it was done to cut down on counterfeit licenses. The people at Prosper many times have sent me the same form emails, telling me that it was not light enough. At one point they even asked that I call them, which was also of no help at all, they said they saw I faxed it I should try to scan it. That was the 4th try, the 5th try was today, the 6th try, which was faxed, and exactly the same as what I sent for the 5th try.
They are so incompetent, that they don't pay attention to the fact I've had the same issue multiple times, they have even given me at least five, case numbers. A new case number each time I try, that alone shows that they are not smart enough to be paying attention to my issue, or they are just ignoring everything previous, either way that is horrible customer service.
So I am late to the game to discover that Impulse was sold to GameStop, what an awful idea. GameStop SUCKS. People hate GameStop for a reason, for some, they go because the used games, or in some cases it's their only option, the way they have treated PC gamers over the years, it shocks me that someone would sell a PC game retail business to them. They absolutely could give a rat's butt about PC gamers. GameStop is the worst possible option.
Apparently Brad Wardell decided he'd rather Stardock not be a retailer, excuse me, If you don't want to be a retailer, don't start a retail business, plain and simple common sense. As much as I have loved Stardock, I am seriously considering giving up on Impulse and I am not the only one. Very, very bad move.
Who cares, it's nobody's business how Donald Trump and Sarah Palin eat a slice of pizza. Not only that, but to whine about it, is a complete waste of time, I am shocked at the whiners that called into K-LOVE about it the other day. WHO CARES!
A coworker told me, when she was 18 visiting new york, she was chastised for NOT eating it with a fork.

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a medicine often used to boost
the body's
immune system and make it better able to fight
disease. It is made from donated blood fluids.
Treatment with IVIG may improve
function and lengthen the time before a relapse in people who have relapsing-remitting MS.1 It does not seem to help slow the progression of MS.2
IVIG can also lengthen the time before a second attack in people who take it after the first attack.1
But IVIG is extremely expensive, not widely available, and not
considered practical for long-term treatment of MS. It sometimes may be used to
treat a severe
relapse if you either cannot take or do not respond to
The safety of IVIG during pregnancy and breast-feeding is not known.
Talk to your doctor if you are planning a pregnancy, if you are pregnant, or if
you are breast-feeding.

Nothing is impossible: Yes! But why? It's because I want to be "better" than the others or because I want to improve myself, sharing every achievement I make with the others???

Lee Child steps back into Jack Reacher's early history to tell this story.
It's 1997 and Reacher is still in the military. He's a major in the military police and goes where he's ordered.
He's sent to Carter Crossing, Mississippi, to be undercover and monitor the official investigation of a woman who was murdered. The crime was comitted outside Ft. Kelham, a U.S. Ranger base where there is a top secret operation under way. Randers are being sent to Kosovo and Reacher is ordered to observe the investigation but avoid publicity.
Reacher arrives and meets the sheriff, the attractive Elizabeth Devereaux who is attempting to investigate the murder of the young woman in question, who is white, but also investigate the murder of two black women. All of the women were very attractive but only the white woman's death stiffed up any concern in Mississippi.
Devereaux is hampered in running a complete investigation because her official powers stop at Ft. Kelham's gate. Reacher sympathises with her position and as he gets to know her, he finds she is the daughter of the former sheriff and was a former military police member. She and Reacher agree to work together and develop a romantic relationship.
The plot moves rapidly with built-in humor as Reacher tries to search for answers and deals with a group of local hillbillies.
The pacing is well done as there are moments of tension thaqt are spaced with the relationship of Reacher and Devereaux. We are also interested in the attempt of the military who want to whitewash the investigation for politicial reasons with Reacher's refusal to bend to the attempted cover-up.
"The Affair," is another well written novel by Lee Child, a master storyteller.
4.5 stars moving up to 5.

AboutTwo photographers working together to host an exhibition to show the beauty that remains within ourselves once we grow older. Using documentary portraiture to show the grace and elegance of ageing men and women. The photographs are focusing on the older members of society as the photographers believe they are often pushed to one side, so their knowledge and grace goes un-noticed. They hope to change people's stereotypes of older men and women, by showing positive imagery rather than patronising and sympatric imagery. The photographers wish to share their view of age with an audience, so please come to enjoy wine, beer and maybe some gin.

Leaked doc allegedly confirms Audi RS4 Avant and TT-RS Plus for Geneva
An alleged leaked document from Audi's Swiss importer, AMAG, has reportedly confirmed the RS4 Avant will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.
Information is scarce, but the company has apparently revealed the car will feature a 4.2-liter V8 engine with 450 PS (331 kW / 444 hp). It will reportedly be connected to an S tronic transmission which sends power to a quattro all-wheel drive system.
Besides the RS4, there's word of a TT-RS Plus with 360 PS (265 kW / 355 hp).
Special thanks to WCF member MOMOYAK for the renders!

I love the rs4 .. Had the both genaration.. But audi just could change this engine, its the same as the last generatio! What about the engine on the new s8! Much more torque..
Feb 1, 2012 11:04 am
The RS4 Avant...it's the first and the only Audi I like...and would seriously think about buying if it ever gets imported.
Feb 1, 2012 2:02 am
RS4s rock and this is a SWEEEET wagon!
Jan 31, 2012 3:35 pm
Love RS4s, but after the generally mediocre reviews of the RS5, dropping in the same drivetrain might not pan out well. Hoped they'd use a hotter version of S4 motor, with proper torque. Holding thumbs its good anyway.
Jan 31, 2012 3:27 pm
yehaaa, the RS4 Avant is back!
Jan 31, 2012 2:34 pm
The Olympic Rings brand rules. I like the RS4, but the new A1 with 250bhp really sounds much nicer!
Jan 31, 2012 2:04 pm
Those are not Olympic rings. They signify the 4 companies that were united under 1 make

NASCAR: Sprint Cup rookie Kyle Larson set to become a father
Jun 13, 2014, 10:05 AM EDT
Kyle Larson has become the hottest young driver in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. He recently bought himself his first house.
And by the end of the year, he's going to be a Dad.
Just a few days before Father's Day, the 21-year-old phenom from Chip Ganassi Racing has announced that he and his girlfriend are set to welcome their first child by the end of the year.
Life just keeps getting more and more momentous for him, doesn't it? Even better: His Target sponsorship means he'll get a killer discount on diapers.
"I really have been having a blast this year and there's a lot of stuff going on," Larson said to reporters today at Michigan International Speedway.
"Katelyn and I just found out we're going to have a baby. It's a really exciting time with how good the racing is going, new house and now that. So it's been a lot of fun."
As for this weekend, Larson will compete in both the Nationwide and Sprint Cup events at MIS.
This will be Larson's Cup debut on the two-mile oval, but he has competed there in NNS and ARCA. He finished second in last year's NNS race after starting 11th.
Larson has some mojo going into Michigan after finishing fifth in his Cup debut at Pocono – another impressive run in a rookie season that's been full of them.
All that's left for Larson to do is get his first Cup win and vault himself and the No. 42 CGR team into the Chase. He's currently 10th in the standings.

As a father of a toddler with a charge from Target showing up on the card just about every other day, that sponsorship couldn't be more appropriate.

Back again & the story so far.
The most recent event in Tita's endless odyssey of contradictions followed her sale of The Lock, the inherited Constable painting which she claimed only to be selling due to her shortage of liquidity resulting from Spain's refusal to pay her for the 'magnanimous' loan of her pictures to the Thyssen Bornemisza Museum. Presumably she assumed the threatened sale of such an iconic, if rather boring painting would loosen Spain's purse strings. However, the Spanish government remained steadfast. But Tita soon forgot her claimed liquidity crisis and long before the cash from the sale could possibly have arrived in her coffers, was soon celebrating her financial sponsorship of an archaeological project in Costa Rica and rebranding of herself as, would you believe, a philanthropist!
The sale itself was in fact rather a damp squib. For after much pre-publicity on the part of Christies to convince everyone that collectors would be falling over themselves to bid the paintings price up to stratospheric levels, there turned out to be only one buyer and the only reason it went for the 'claimed' £20 million (hammer price) was that according to the auction house, the work was guaranteed to sell courtesy of a third party 'irrevocable bidder' that dealers identified as one of Christie's Russian clients and the UK press refused to mention. Newsweek proved more honest and even quoted Richard L Feigen, the NY based dealer as saying 'The Constable sold for the price of a second-tier Warhol. It's ridiculous!' (A Rothko asking price at Basle Art Fair was $78 million while the Munch pastel drawing on paper went for $120 million at auction.)
Beatrice B Shoemaker gave a more informed, if damming explanation: 'Third-party guarantees have been distorting the market for some time – conflict of interest being an unknown concept in these parts. The Constable actually sold on its putative reserve. Although Christies boasted this as the best ever Old Master Painting sale, the actual results show that over 50% of the lots sold (hammer price) at or below the low estimate…Current estimates reflect vendors aspirations. The 25% buyers premium is included in the published price, distorting perception, since the vendor gets the hammer price minus whatever fees he managed to negotiate (10/20%)…So next time around, at the time of the resale, the collector naturally wants to recoup his original costs within the reserve. Result: ever higher figures but (with a few spectacular exceptions) illusory profitability for the punters. Cheers!!!!'… In my book Heini Thyssen is quoted as saying: 'The art business is the dirtiest business in the world.'
Francesca (Habsburg nee Thyssen) criticised Tita for selling the picture but didn't feel sufficiently concerned to make a bid, while Norman Rosenthal pretended it was the reason he was resigning from The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum board. The more likely reason was in fact the loss of the museums sponsor, Caja Madrid and its lack of any replacement.
Meanwhile, back in Germany ThyssenKrupp's shares continued their relentless downhill slide as steel demand slumped and their Brazilian and North American plant 'investments' spiralled. Rumours of buyers came and went while the organisation finally admitted it was considering withdrawing from the steel business altogether. Their share price fell even faster following the news that ThyssenKrupp, having forgotten one of the first rules of business and 'shat in their own nest', had been found guilty of the price fixing of railway lines in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. Presumably these were the same railway lines that had been found to contain hairline cracks and had to be replaced by a cheaper and better quality Polish equivalent.
Down the road in Monaco the family firm was suffering from less tangible problems. 'Baron' Heini Junior's Asset Management lost 350 million Euros via Bernie Madoff but more importantly having made the same mistake as ThyssenKrupp by also shitting in his own nest, Georg had accepted 34 million Euros in Monogasque investment in Bernie's little financial pyramid. Well it turns out that he did so without the appropriate license which not only means that he will be obliged to pay the money back, presumably with interest but could also face five years in the Monaco slammer.
All this appears to have had a positive effect on sales of my book, in both the UK and Germany. And Spain? Well Spain is Spain and much as I love it and the Spanish people, working with the publisher Groupo Planeta has not been easy and I thus find it somewhat predictable to discover that they had been under considerable pressure from Tita to curtail pulication of our book and replace it with hers. As this is the publishing company whose other Thyssen book 'Carmen Cevera La Baronesa' accused her mother of being a madam and Tita's sexual status being perhaps more professional than amateur one presumes that will also shortly be 'out of print'. All this without even a hint of litigation. Anyway the latest news is that they are scheduled to be bringing out yet another Thyssen book in October which is, according to Tita, Heini's official memoirs. Well it was certainly not something that he wrote himself, so God knows who did.
And finally, ever since I pointed out to a very grumpy and highly dismissive Francesca that some of my family heirlooms were decorated with a coat of arms that bore an uncanny resemblance to that of the Thyssen-Bornemisza's, the historian, Rosemary Thorburn has continued to research my family history. Well I can now reveal that the Hungarian Baroness Ottilie von Schossberger was my great (step) grandmother and that the Schossberger girls married into both the Bornemisza and Batthyany families. The former being where both my and the Thyssen's coat of arms came from. It also gives me as much right (if any such thing actually exits) as any of the existing Thyssen-Bornemiszas to adopt the title of 'Baron' David R L Litchfield. If only this family history had been known in 1939 things might have turned out somewhat differently for the Bornemiszas, Batthyanys and Thyssens, for the Schossberger's were Jewish!
Carmen Thyssen's Salon des Refusés
So finally her museum has opened in Malaga. The international public don't seem particularly interested despite the initial free entry and guest appearances of thirty pictures from Tita's Madrid collection. But the most important event was the subsequent signing of the contract, which should of course have taken place prior to the pictures' arrival and the museum opening. The spokesman for the United Left in Malaga's city council, Mr Pedro Moreno Brenes, even went as far as stating that the signature only happened once the town council had agreed to supply yet further millions to cover running costs.
According to an article in Diariosur Newspaper it also appears that Mrs Thyssen has the right to remove 10% of the pictures permanently and another 15% for up to nine months. So what the Andalucians believe they have invested more than 36 million Euros in may not be quite what they end up with. Already there seems to be some doubt as to the museum's potential profitability as six million euros of the investment is infact a subsidy for the running of the museum for the next two and a half years. After which the museum is expecting to be able to self-finance – but only fifty percent of the running costs -, which basically means the council will probably have to invest at least another fifteen to twenty million for the full fifteen-year loan, from which Tita claims she will not receive a penny.
At the signing of the agreement a small but vocal group of protesters made their opposition to such extravagance obvious. They were members of a recently formed national group of protesters who are unofficially known as Los Indignados.
There is still no news as to why Tomas Llorens and his assistant, Maria Lopez, left the Carmen Thyssen Museum Malaga in such a hurry. One can only presume it was something they considered financially or legally advisable, or possibly both, while Tita must now be somewhat embarrassed by the fact that Llorens remains on the board of the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid. It is also rather confusing that the current director of the Madrid museum, Guillermo Solana, continues to promote Tita's collections despite the fact that the Spanish government has apparently already succeeded in a legal action regarding the passing-off of the Thyssen-Bornemisza "brand", obgliging her to call her museum Museo Carmen Thyssen rather than Museo Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza. God knows how much that cost her to defend or who paid the legal bill for her Malaga venture, considering the tax complications involved with pictures owned by three different offshore trusts!
Anyway, Carmen Thyssen has finally confirmed the rumours that she, like Spain itself, is experiencing financial difficulties. She has even warned the Malaga city council that while she is at present loaning her pictures for 'nothing' she will eventually, of course, have to receive some form of recompense. There have also been accusations that she has failed to show-up for a number of museum-related, social events. Hopefully because she was busy with more profitable pursuits.
