The announcer said brightly, "She is completely effaced right now, and she just lost her mucus plug."
Plummer found the film so saccharine that he even developed a nickname for it: "The Sound of mucus."
It would be similar to smoking, only less…and you might get a chronic cough, or raise a little [mucus].
1660s (replacing Middle English mucilage), from Latin mucus "slime, mold, mucus of the nose, snot," from PIE root *meug- "slippery, slimy," with derivatives referring to wet or slimy substances or conditions (cf. Latin emungere "to sneeze out, blow one's nose," mucere "be moldy or musty," Greek myssesthai "to blow the nose," myxa "mucus," mykes "fungus," Sanskrit muncati "he releases"). Old English had horh, which may be imitative.
mucus mu·cus (myōō'kəs)
The viscous slippery substance that consists chiefly of mucin, water, cells, and inorganic salts and that is secreted as a protective lubricant coating by the cells and glands of the mucous membranes.
A slippery and somewhat sticky fluid secreted by the glands in mucous membranes. Mucus lubricates and protects the mucous membranes.

Allergy ShotsPosted by: Jodi
Category: Medical
Posted on: July 31, 2001 at 17:53:40
Our almost 2-yo male JRT, Max just had his fourth allergy shot. After trying everything we could with our regular vet, we went to se a specialist. The doggie dermatologist said he knew right away that Max had environmental allergies, not food. So, we allergy test him (poor baby had 36 needles poked into him). THe good thing was that we finally found out what he was allergic to...EVERYTHING. In fact, the dermatologist said he had never seen a dog so young be so allergic. In addition, the vet said his allergies were genetic.
Anyway, I contacted the breeder to see if either of his parents or any of his siblings had any signs of allergies and she said no. How is this possible? Are JRT's prone to allergies?
Regarding the shots, the vet said we will have to be on allergy shots for ever. Is that true? Do you know of any situations where the allergies cleared up and shots were no longer necessary? Any information you have would be appreciated.

This is the only putt putt course around that I know of so there's not another one to compare it too. It's not very fun compared to the ones in tourist areas. No theme or anything.
Considering that it's the only putt-putt we have in the area, it'll have to do. Course is fun to play but is overdue for some upkeep. The railings are rusty and the green turf is pulled up on every hole. Could use some maintenance.
This place is a lot of fun and very close, clean , friendly staff, always well painted and plenty of parking.
This Putt-Putt has been here for many years and could stand an upgrade. My kids like to go here, but enjoy the ones at the beach better. I'm not sure how they stay in business except that there isn't anything like it nearby.
The businesses around this Putt-Putt continue to grow and with that comes more traffic, which makes this...
the place is kept clean and the prices are cheap. very friendly staff and always welcome you there. great place for kids
Needs to be completely updated. Employees are nice, but they need to take advantage of being the only putt putt place around, and make it a destination instead of the only option.
we wnt a few weekends ago since there really isn't anything to do in kingsport these days. It was kind of run down when we were there and people were allowing their kids run around everywhere and throw balls at people, etc. I know they are kids, but there needs to be some sort of rule put in place/enforcement of...
Fun for the family or birthday parties. I mean who don't like to play putt putt. It was the basis original putt putt. Orange and White, no plastic dragons or green creeks. Just a place to take a date and laugh through the course
great for the family enjoyed playing with everyone and a nice place for a birthday party fun fun fun
It is a good value, especially on Saturday when you cna play all day for 6.50 but the carpets are getting quite worn. I do not think they have been changed or updated for many many years.

White Rice With Wild Mushrooms And Merguez
|Extra virgin olive oil
|2 Tablespoon
|Japanese short grain rice
|1 1⁄2 Cup (24 tbs)
|Mushroom broth/Chicken stock / low-sodium broth
|3 Cup (48 tbs)
|Soy sauce
|1 Tablespoon
|Wild mushrooms
|1 Pound, thickly sliced (Such As Oyster)
|Merguez sausage
|1 Pound, casings removed
|To Taste
|Freshly ground black pepper
|To Taste
1. Preheat the oven to 350° In a medium enameled cast-iron casserole, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the rice and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until lightly toasted and well coated with oil, about 3 minutes. Add the mushroom broth and soy sauce and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over very low heat until the rice is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate.
3. Add the merguez to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat, breaking up the sausage with a spoon, until cooked through and lightly browned in spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Return the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Stir the merguez and mushrooms into the rice.
4. Bake the rice, covered, in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the casserole from the oven and let stand for about 10 minutes; don't remove the lid. Fluff the rice with a spoon and serve.

SHELBURNE-Historic Shelburne Farms, the 1,400 working farm on the shores of Lake Champlain will reopen Saturday, May 7, just in time for Mother's Day.
It will be the beginning of a busy season, with the farm's Inn open for breakfast, dinner and overnight stays, guided tours of the property throughout the day, seven days a week until mid-October, and the tractor-drawn wagon carrying excited children and their families to visit the farm animals at the Children's Farmyard. It is 39 years since the historic estate, founded in the 1880s by Dr. William Seward Webb and his wife Lila Vanderbilt Webb, became a non-profit organization committed to keeping the land in agriculture and exploring ways to communicate a message that would encourage a sense of connection to the land.
Today field trips bring thousands of school children to Shelburne Farms where they learn about nature, agriculture and how to take responsibility for the future, the network of walking trails provide access to the landscape and refreshment to the soul, the Inn welcomes guests from all over the world with its tradition of gracious hospitality.
The Inn's dining room showcases the produce of local farms, orchards and gardens while the on-site herd of Brown Swiss cows produce milk that is transformed daily in the cheese rooms of the Farm Barn into award winning cheddar cheese.
The farm's unique Children's Farmyard welcomes children (and every other age group, too) to meet farm animals, learn about their importance to our lives, and even how to milk a cow.
When you visit the farms, the Welcome Center and Farm Store at the main entrance to Shelburne Farms at 1611 Harbor Rd., at the corner of Bay Road in Shelburne, will be the starting point for a tour, the wagon-ride to the Children's Farmyard, and the walking trails.

AUGUSTA -- Between the three early bogeys, the three birdies and an eagle midway through the round, and the two bogeys late, Lucas Glover's demeanor changed very little during Saturday's third round of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.
The former Clemson All-American and reigning U.S. Open champion posted his second straight 71, leaving him way off the pace at 2-over 218 heading into today's final round.
"The middle was good. The start and finish was bad, but I played well. It was a little iffy in the morning and a little iffy this afternoon, but I hit a lot of good shots and knocked in a few putts, so 1-under isn't too bad, I guess," Glover said.
Saturday was a microcosm of Glover's year. His best finish is a tie for ninth at San Diego where he had a chance to contend but "botched it on the back nine."
"It's been very average," Glover said. "I haven't put a tournament together yet. It's the same thing as last year. I worked hard and it all clicked. I'm still doing the same stuff, so when it clicks I've got to be ready."
Glover's problem, he said, is that he's "not hitting it where I'm looking. I'm not making any putts. But like I said, that could change overnight."
Glover said the biggest difference for him since winning last year's U.S. Open is that he's not playing quite as much, taking time off in an effort to stay fresh.
"Hopefully, that will pay off. I'm working hard, trying to do the right things," Glover said.
Glover said playing Augusta National is a matter of knowing when to take your chances and when to take your medicine. All his bogeys, he said, were because he missed his shot in the wrong place.
"Fifteen, I knew I had help with a good hole location. I had 191 to where I had to land it and that's a perfect 6-iron. I had good vision, because I did the same thing a couple of years ago, the same hole location, the same everything. It was one of those things. The ball landed in the right spot and got the right bounce and rolled up close," said Glover, who converted the 3-footer for eagle.
"Sixteen (a bogey), I missed it where you can't miss it in that right bunker. I had to hit a miracle shot to keep it on top, so I got what I deserved, which was 4."
Glover said his attitude for today and for the rest of the year is to "keep working, knowing you're doing the right stuff."
"I can't stink forever," he said. "But if it doesn't (get better), then I'll go back and change some things. But my good shots are still pretty good. I've just got to be patient and work hard.
"I've got to try to hit it where I'm looking, make some putts and see how many birdies I can make."
Back-to-back eagles
Phil Mickelson's spectacular play where he eagled 13 and 14 and birdied 15 mirrored former Coastal Carolina All-American Dustin Johnson, who played that stretch of holes the same way in the final round last year. Johnson shot 73 and tied for 30th. Johnson had four eagles last year, matching Bruce Crampton's tournament record. Mickelson also eagled 13 during Thursday's opening round.
In 1982, Dan Pohl eagled 13 and 14 and birdied 15 and 16 in the third round on his way to shooting 67. He lost in a playoff to Craig Stadler.
By the numbers
There have been a total of 21 eagles this week, including eight on the back nine Saturday. Kenny Perry, who lost to Angel Cabrera in a playoff last year, eagled 13 and 15 Saturday … The only hole that did not yield a birdie Saturday was No. l7, which was understandably also the most difficult of the day, playing to an average score of 4.458, two-hundredths of a stroke more difficult than the par-5 15th, the easiest hole … Average score Saturday was 72.585.
Westwood or Lefty?
The Masters champion has come out of the final pairing on Sunday on all but two occasions since 1990. Nick Faldo in 1990 and Zach Johnson in 2007 are the exceptions. Lee Westwood and Phil Mickelson share the final pairing, teeing off at 2:40 p.m.

Product Description
David Sax's delightful travelogue is a journey across the United States and around the world that investigates the history, the diaspora, and the next generation of delicatessen.
David Sax was alarmed by the state of Jewish delicatessen. As a journalist and lifelong deli lover, he watched in dismay as one beloved deli after another closed its doors, only to be reopened as some bland chain restaurant laying claim to the cuisine it just paved over. Was it still possible to save the deli? He writes about the food itself—how it's made, who makes it best, and where to go for particular dishes—and, ultimately, what he finds is hope: deli newly and lovingly made in places like Boulder, Colorado, longstanding deli traditions thriving in Montreal, and the resurrection of iconic institutions like New York's 2nd Avenue Deli. No cultural history of food has ever tasted so good.

Product Description As a journalist and life-long deli obsessive, David Sax was understandably alarmed by the state of Jewish delicatessen--a cuisine that once sat at the very center of Jewish life had become endangered by assimilation, homogenization, and health food trends. He watched one beloved deli after another shut down, one institution after another shutter only to be reopened as some bland chain-restaurant laying claim to the very culture it just paved over. And so David set out on a journey across the United States and around the world in search of authentic delicatessen. Was it still possible to Save the Deli?Join David as he investigates everything deli--its history, its diaspora, its next generation. He tells us about the food itself--how it's made, who makes it best, and where to go for particular dishes. And, ultimately, there there is for hope--David finds deli newly and lovingly made in places like Boulder, traditions maintained in Montreal, and iconic institutions like the 2nd Avenue Deli resurrected in New York. So grab a pastrami on rye and sit down for a great read--because Save the Deliis an energetic cultural history of Jewish food, a vibrant travelogue, and a rallying cry for a new generation of food lovers.
Amazon Exclusive: A Letter from David SaxDear Amazon Reader, I assume you're here because you either love Jewish deli like Jewish deli, or want to learn to love Jewish deli. Well, you're in luck. That's why I'm here too. In fact, that's the whole idea behind Save the Deli. If I can get twenty more people to eat a corned-beef sandwich, I've done my part. Mission accomplished, right? Well, not exactly. As you can see from some of the reader reviews already on Amazon, deli lovers are a fiercely opinionated bunch. They know what's the best and if anyone dares say otherwise, they're willing to hit the battlefield and inflict damage. Look into those reviews and you'll read criticisms about how I didn't go to X deli, or didn't go to Y city, and how dare I say that LA has deli that's as good, or even better than New York! Who am I to question the conventional wisdom about Jewish deli? Blasphemy! Heresy! Heartburn! But it's true. In Save the Deli, I talk not only about the great delis in New York--like Katz's, Carnegie, and 2nd Ave Deli--but also about unknown places in Detroit, Chicago, Salt Lake City, LA, Denver, Florida, and Toronto. I eat deli in London, Paris, and Krakow. The point here is to convince you that great deli knows no geographical bounds, that you can have a cabbage roll in Charlotte, North Carolina, that's better than one in Brooklyn, that great blintzes aren't tied to any one city or state. Now before you light the pyre, let me tell you about how I came to this realization. Three years ago, when I began working on this book, I too had fallen prey to the misguided notion that great deli was only confined to New York and Montreal. Anything outside those cities had to be a pale imitation. I, like many Jewish deli lovers, was narrow-minded,could see and imagine no further than the local delicatessen I frequented…a village simpleton who knows nothing beyond his little shtetl and the salamis therein. But as I hit the road, in search of the story of delicatessen in American and around the world, I tasted revelation after revelation. It first happened in Brussels, where I encountered a fancy sandwich shop called Gilles. I dismissed it as a hokey deli until I layered their delicate smoked brisket on a warm onion roll and realized an entire new world of deli potential. Two weeks later I was in Paris, eating chopped liver with foie gras, duck sausage, and calves-foot jelly at Maison David. I'd stepped through the looking glass. When I hit the road in America things were no different. Who knew the rye bread in Detroit was the best anywhere? Who knew a new deli in Boulder, Colorado, made its own schmaltz? Who could suspect the level of kitchen prowess I'd find in Los Angeles, where a kishke at Brent's blew me away? Do you know what it's like to be blown away by kishke? It's akin to a religious moment; your mouth is so in love with this crackling fat-stuffed sausage that it floods your brain with endorphins. It's a watershed event. I'd love for you to experience that. Great deli knows no geographical limits. If there's one thing I learned on this whole journey to Save the Deli, that's it. I hope everyone that reads this book will realize this. It doesn't mean the delis in your hometown serve up sandwiches any less delicious than before. It doesn't mean that the deli you grew up with in Brooklyn was anything less than spectacular. But I implore you to look out beyond your deli counter at the world of possibilities. Then go. And taste. You won't regret it.

From Publishers Weekly
This is a book about Jewish food, Sax's prologue reminds, and it would be a shame to read it on an empty stomach. It's true; just a few chapters in, and you'll find yourself hungry for hot pastrami sandwiches, matzo ball soup, maybe even ready to try some gribenes (chicken skin fried in chicken fat). As freelance writer Sax explains, however, it's getting harder and harder for even the best delicatessens to stay open; the profit margins on sandwiches are atrocious, and young Jewish families tend not to embrace the food the way their ancestors did. Still, Sax has found a few truly outstanding delis, and not just in New York City—joyful moments in this otherwise elegiac travelogue come with the discovery of delicious schmaltz in Colorado, or the legendary smoked meats of Montreal. Along the way, he interviews deli owners, meat cutters and customers, digging deep into local histories wherever he visits. The well-crafted portraits don't string together perfectly, but individual chapters shine—such as the passages on the death and rebirth of Manhattan's Second Avenue Deli or the disappointment of Poland's attempts to reinvigorate a Jewish culture almost obliterated by the Holocaust. A helpful appendix includes addresses of all the delis Sax discusses and then some; readers in the right cities are sure to start planning visits straight away.

Meet the New Farm Bill
Same as the old farm bill.
Feb 24, 2014, Vol. 19, No. 23 • By DAVE JUDAY
The president just signed into law the Agricultural Act of 2014, a multiyear, comprehensive agricultural, rural, and nutrition policy measure. As legislation goes, it was rather unremarkable. What was remarkable was the path it followed to approval. Unlike most farm bill debates, which tend to be festivals of bipartisanship and comity, this one split lawmakers—rural from urban, House from Senate, Republican from Democrat—along every political fault including between the Tea Party caucus and the rest of the GOP.
Something for everyone.
A farm bill is typically passed every five years, and besides payments to farmers includes international food aid, rural development projects, food safety inspection, and, in recent decades, renewable energy incentive programs. There are enough programs to attract votes from all sorts of off-farm political interests. As President Obama said, it's the legislative equivalent of "a Swiss Army knife."
Indeed, the single largest program in the farm bill is food stamps, renamed the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) five years ago. The food stamp program was married with the farm bill during the Carter administration in order to build a rural-urban coalition for the 1977 farm bill. This politically arranged marriage served both sides well until now, as SNAP has grown to consume 79 percent of all spending under the farm bill and the political dynamics in Congress have changed.
First, the 2010 elections decimated the ranks of the Democratic Blue Dogs, the moderate to conservative, mostly rural, mostly Southern Democrats in the House. Enough so that when it came time for the minority to assign seven new members to the House Agriculture Committee after the election, there weren't enough Democrats from farm districts to fill the seats. Several members interested in SNAP took the assignment, notably Reps. Marcia Fudge from Cleveland, now chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, whose priorities are ending childhood obesity and expanding nutrition programs, and James McGovern of Massachusetts, self-described "unrivaled supporter for social justice and fundamental human rights." Not your typical Ag Committee members.
Second, the Senate Agriculture Committee was chaired by Debbie Stabenow (D-Michigan), who when writing the first version of the farm bill in 2012 was up for reelection in a state which that year had 1.9 million food stamp recipients and 56,000 farms. Her priorities were clear, and SNAP was preserved. The Senate bill called for a mere $4 billion in cuts over 10 years from SNAP's $800 billion baseline—about 0.5 percent. Her farm program reforms proved controversial too, leaving an unusual split among farm and commodity groups.
For its part, the House Republican majority was divided between farm program advocates and the Tea Party caucus, whose priority was to trim spending, especially on entitlement programs like SNAP, but on farm programs, too. Majority Leader Eric Cantor feared he could not get a farm bill passed with the two factions splitting the GOP—especially before the 2012 election. He had to balance a bill that would cut enough in SNAP and farm programs to gain Tea Party votes but not so much that it would lose Democratic votes over SNAP or the remaining Republican votes over farm programs. So Speaker John Boehner postponed the bill until after the 2012 election.
Democrats used this to their advantage in farm states. As Jerry Hagstrom recently reported in National Journal, "there is evidence that the unwillingness of House Republicans to take up the farm bill in 2012 helped elect Democratic senators Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota, Jon Tester in Montana, Joe Donnelly in Indiana, and Claire McCaskill in Missouri." Donnelly replaced former Ag Committee chairman Richard Lugar. McCaskill defeated St. Louis-area congressman Todd Akin, who opposed the 2002 and 2008 farm bills, though other issues obviously were at play in those races. Heitkamp and Tester, though, were challenged by sitting House Republicans; the two Democrats made an issue of the challengers' inability to convince the House Republican leadership to bring up the farm bill.

When I tried 'git push origin master' to remote repository on my external disk, git warning occured stating that pusing to checkout repository will in next releases of git refused by default. On external disk I have checkouted project and I want to send changes that I did on my computer to these reposiotry. Is 'git push origin master' not the right way? Do I have to 'git pull ...' on repository on my external disk? So I cannot push changes but just pull them? Only working with 'bare' repository is different? So if repository on my external disk was a bare repository I could push changes to it? Do I understand correcly?
Read the warning carefully. The new default prohibition is only on pushing to the currently checked out branch in a non-bare repository. It is perfectly OK to push to any other branch in a non-bare repository.
The reason for this is that the push process has no direct access to the working tree so the index and branch head get changed under the working tree. When you subsequently go to the working tree it looks like working tree has undone the changes pushed mixed in with any changes that were genuinely in development. This makes it very difficult to separate the two sets of changes.
Pushing to other branches has no such downsides. You can then go to that repository and merge those changes into the checked out branch if desired.
You shouldn't push to a non-bare repository because pushing will only update the internal state of the repo, and won't affect the checked-out, on-disk copies of the files. Thus, you could run into problems if you start doing work in that repo without first updating (via

Brief Synopsis
Nonlethal technology, concepts and doctrine may provide the Army a way to retain its political utility and military effectiveness in a security environment characterized by ambiguity and the glare of world public opinion. To explore this, the Army is undertaking programs and initiatives which may make it the driving force in nonlethality. The authors place nonlethality within its larger strategic context and explain how it is related to the revolution in military affairs. They then assess the arguments for and against the integration of nonlethality into American doctrine and procedures. Finally, they offer operational concepts which could serve as the basis for doctrine and for tactics, techniques, and procedures.

1954-09-17 Rocky Marciano w co 8 (15) Ezzard Charles, Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NYC, New York, USA - WORLD
1954-09-17 Rocky Marciano w co 8 (15) Ezzard Charles, Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NYC, New York, USA - WORLD. Referee: Al Berl. Twice postponed due to heavy rain, the contest eventually took place two days later than originally planned. Constantly charging in to put Charles (192½) under pressure Marciano (187) was well on top by the fifth round, having handed out a lot of punishment to head and body. By the sixth though, Charles seemed to have a second wind, and by the end of the session the champion's nose was split badly and blood was pouring down his face. Sticking with it in the seventh, when Charles cut the champion over the left eye early in the eighth thinking the fight might be halted Marciano tore in with both hands to drop his man with a right to the jaw. Back on his feet at 'four' Charles was now in real trouble, and following a barrage of blows to the head he was sent down to be counted out with 24 seconds of the session remaining.
Having suffered severe damage to his nose and eyes, Marciano was out of the ring for quite a time to allow for plastic surgery to take, only getting back into sparring sessions during mid-February 1955. At the same time it was announced that he would be defending his title against Don Cockell in May. Cockell had earned the right to meet Marciano, in that he had beaten Harry Matthews three times and also eliminated Roland LaStarza, but hopes of the fight taking place in England were dashed the following week when it was announced that it would take place in America.

Knox firms specialize in treating breathing disorders
A surge in demand for equipment used to treat breathing disorders is providing an opportunity for some local businesses.
"In the last 10 years, demand for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) equipment has exploded," said Eric Huffaker, general manager of Convalescent, a home medical equipment company located in Knoxville.
The increased recognition of conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is driving the demand for oxygen equipment and CPAP accessories such as tubing, masks and filters.
"We service about 5,000 patients within our area of coverage," Huffaker said.
As many as a half-dozen sleep clinics in the Knoxville area have also driven demand as the relationship between obstructed breathing, poor sleep and conditions such as heart disease become better understood, Huffaker said.
One of the unique challenges of the business is to keep patient compliance or usage of the equipment as high as possible. A high rate of compliance confirms that the patient is getting enough treatment to stem the effects of the disease and additional ailments.
Some insurance companies monitor compliance in association with payment. Convalescent averages an 86 percent compliance rate compared with the national average of about 50 percent, Huffaker said.
"Maximize usage of the equipment maximizes patient care, leading to overall better health and lower cost to insurance companies," he said.
Maximizing patient care by maximizing efficiency is the goal of Jaysec Technologies, an 8-year-old Knoxville-based firm. Jaysec markets software and services that help companies such as Convalescent handle specific business challenges, including maximizing patient care with a high volume of patients.
Jaysec helps home medical equipment, or HME, companies such as Convalescent keep track of patient usage while maximizing efficiency related to other challenges such as inventory and documentation, Huffaker said.
Dan Dillon, Jaysec's CEO, said he founded the company to provide business solutions that address the increasingly complex world of medical billing and logistics.
"The HME's goal is to provide the best patient care possible. Jaysec's goal is to make the business of providing care more efficient and cost-effective," Dillon said.
Reducing the time it takes insurance companies to reimburse HMEs is a key challenge. Streamlined solutions from Jaysec have reduced the process of getting paid from an average cycle time of about 89 days to an average of 47 days, Dillon said.
Respiratory therapists play a key role in the treatment of breathing disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, including teaching the patients how to use the equipment, Dillon said.
The Jaysec software helps the respiratory therapist keep track of patient usage of the equipment. Medicare rules and private insurance requirements specify that detailed records of patient compliance be available for review.
"In case I'm ever audited, I have all the information available with the click of a mouse," Huffaker said.
Saving the time the respiratory therapist devotes to paperwork leaves more time for patient care. Increased time for patient care means the therapists can act as the eyes and ears of the physician, he said.
"We can maintain detailed records that include special needs of each patient, whether they are hard of hearing or need some type of special care," he said.
Another benefit of the Jaysec solution is reducing inventory. HMEs can place orders through Jaysec without carrying lots of inventory. Accessories such as masks are continually being redesigned and replaced with more modern equipment, he said.
"We don't have to worry about getting stuck with lots of inventory if the patients decide a new model of mask is more desirable," Huffaker said.

Carolina at Mobile for game two of a five game set.
Daryl Thmpson (0-3, 4.98) goes against Jarrod Parker (3-2, 6.11).
Parker faced Carolina here in the first series of the year and his line was not impressive. In 3.2 innings he gave up six hits, eight runs of which seven were earned. Hotchkiss got the win that day. Daryl Thompson has pitched better than his record so maybe the guys can turn things around.
I suspect the Pensacola contingent will be on hand again today.

This application is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 09/272,652 filed Mar. 18, 1999.
This invention relates to paintball guns.
The game of paintball involves participants carrying guns which fire pellets of 'paint' or dye which are fired from the gun and burst upon impact to leave a mark at the point of impact.
Most paintball guns use a pneumatic system for firing the paintballs using compressed air or other gas. More recently, such pneumatically operated guns have begun to be electronically controlled for greater effectiveness.
According to the present invention there is provided an electronically controlled pneumatic paintball gun, comprising monitoring and/or controlling apparatus for monitoring and/or controlling one or more parameters of the gun's operation and alphanumeric means for displaying data related to said monitoring or control on a display panel integral with the gun.
The display panel is most preferably mounted on the cheek of the gun.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows schematically an electronic apparatus for use in a paintball gun;
FIG. 2 shows the handle of a gun; and
FIG. 3 shows a display.
A paintball gun embodying the present invention uses a compressed gas circuit supplied with gas from a gas cylinder to eject projectiles in the form of spheres containing paint which break upon impact. The gun is electronically controlled, typically by a microswitch operated upon by a trigger squeezed by a user's finger and the electronics control the firing mechanism and in particular ensure correct timing. The electronics also enable various different modes of firing, such as a semi-automatic mode in which each trigger actuation causes a projectile to be fired, typically up to 20 times a second, or a fully automatic mode in which a single trigger actuation causes a burst of a selectable number of shots. Other parameters such as dwell time, firing rate, number of bursts per second, and so on are also selectable under the operation of the control electronics. A paintball gun of this type is commercially available as the Angel™ gun manufactured by NPF Limited and reference is made to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/137,641.
FIG. 1 shows a control and display apparatus for use in a gun according to the present invention. The apparatus comprises a central processor 1 which typically includes a microprocessor. As described, operation of the gun is initiated by a user depressing a trigger 2 which acts upon a microswitch in known manner. This sends an appropriate signal to fire control/monitoring circuitry 4, which may be at least partially incorporated in the control unit 1 and which can be used to control the rate of fire, dwell time, etc, and also to fire the gun when the trigger has been operated, using the mode designated by the user. These modes may be, for example, manual, semi-automatic or automatic modes or other modes as required or as allowed by the rules of the particular event or tournament he is playing in. These operate in known manner.
A plurality of input buttons 5 a to 5 e are arranged to provide user input to the processor 1 via a user interface 3 and these have several different functions as will be outlined below.
The gun is powered by a battery 6 which is preferably a rechargeable type and which can charge through a battery charger 7 which has a mains input.
An integral alphanumeric display unit in the form of an LCD unit 8, driven by an LCD driver circuit 9 is connected to the processor and this displays various types of data and information. Preferably, a back-light 10 is also provided to enable better viewing of the LCD unit but which back-light may be turned off when required. The alphanumeric display need not necessarily be an LCD display.
Various other pieces of apparatus, sensors, etc, may be added to the control unit and non-limiting examples of these are shown in FIG. 1. There is shown a temperature sensor 11, a timer 12 and a vibrator 13. The timer 12 can be used for various purposes such as for timing a paintball game and for an alarm function and the vibrator 13 may be used as the alarm indicator for the timer 12. In addition, an infrared link 14 is provided which enables programming of the control unit, or by directional data exchange, to take place from a remote PC or other device fitted with a similar infrared unit. Infrared communication devices are well known. A serial link, e.g. RS232C, or other communications link may also be provided.
FIG. 2 shows the grip frame part of a paintball gun. The user holds the grip in the normal manner and squeezes the trigger 2 to fire the gun. As shown, the gun is radically different from previous paintball gun designs in that an LCD display 8 is integral with and incorporated into the gun, in this case on the cheek of the grip frame 15. It could, however, be mounted in any other position/disposition on the gun itself. The control buttons are also distributed on the grip frame. Three of the buttons 5 a, 5 b and 5 c are mounted in a recessed portion where they are always accessible. The remaining buttons in this embodiment are mounted under a cheek plate (not shown) which is screwed or otherwise attached over the cheek, possibly using anti-tamper means, or tamper-indicating means such as seals, and thus are only accessible when the plate is removed. This is because these buttons are used, as described below, to alter various functions of the gun which affect its performance, rate of fire, etc. In many events, the rate of fire or other gun parameters must be set before the game begins and cannot be altered once the match is underway. By being mounted in an inaccessible position, these buttons achieve this objective.
The various functions alterable and displayable on display 8 are as follows:
Various values and words are selectably displayed by a six character alphanumeric display 24 and a plurality of fixed words/characters which are illuminated as required. A battery indicator 20 is displayed at all times and goes from blank to full (all four segments displayed). When down to about 25% power level the last segment only is displayed, and this flashes indicating low power status.
A mode indicator 21 displays the mode of firing and may show single characters or numerals such as A, B, C, 1, 2, 3 etc. Modes are displayed at all times. The mode of firing can only be changed by one of the normally inaccessible tactile switches 5 d or 5 e. The modes available may be, for example, SEMI: (1 shot; 1 trigger pull), BURSTS: (a 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 shot burst per trigger pull), ZIPS (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 shot bursts at a rate of 8.75 shots/sec max). The MROF (Maximum Rate of Fire) function will display 8 when in the ZIP modes.
The vibrator may work in a timer mode for indicating, for example, 5 min intervals by actuating the vibrator for 3 secs. Note: if the 'V' mode is selected the 'V' is displayed on the LCD. Switching the vibratory alarm ON or OFF is selected from a sub-menu function.
Temperature may be displayed in � F. or � C. by the main alphanumeric display 24. A temperature icon is only displayed when the menu calls for it. Temp mode can be selected from the menu; Changing from Centigrade to Fahrenheit is selected from the sub-menu.
A trip meter is a shot counter that can be re-zeroed by the consumer. Trip can be selected from the menu. Resetting to zero is selected from the sub-menu.
A ROF (Rate of Fire) function may measure a string of shots over a selected (eg 1 second) period. The first shot starts the counter for 1 second, any shots that occur in that period are registered on the display. Then the display will not accept any input for a 3-second period. During this period the display will also flash before an additional cycle may start. The ROF mode can be selected from the menu. The data is constantly updated and so no sub-menu is required.
The display can accordingly display not only a desired rate of fire, but also the rate of fire actually achieved by the user, which can fall well short of the desired rate of fire, or could even exceed it for a very skilled marksman. Furthermore, competition rules may set an upper limit on the rate of fire, and this upper limit may be programmed in and displayed on the LCD display (MROF). More details are set out further below.
To power off the gun a tactile switch on the grip must be held for 1.5 seconds which shows the whole display for 2 seconds. Then the display shows the word "SAFE" and the back light switches OFF. The gun cannot fire in the safe mode but the battery meter is still displayed. An automatic power off function may be provided which powers off the gun if no shots are fired for a predetermined period, e.g. 60 minutes.
A unique ID number may be programmable into the gun by the manufacturers or suppliers. This number may affect, e.g. restrict, the modes it is possible for the gun to be fired in and can render the gun less likely to be stolen.
Numerous fault codes can be displayed, for example Fault 1, F1=Over temp=38� C., F2=Under temp=0� C., and so on. The fault can be selected from the menu. Should more than one fault be present the display will alternate at 2-sec cycles. The faults will only clear from the display when the fault condition is removed.
Dwell time may be displayed, e.g. in millisecs=e.g. 0:20=20 ms. Dwell is changed via a tactile button and scrolls from 12 ms to 25 ms.
MROF displays the rate of fire as shots per sec, e.g. 12=12 shots/sec. MROF may be selected from the menu but can only be changed via one of the normally inaccessible tactile buttons on the board. In one embodiment the range is 5 to 20 shots per second.
Note: If a mode of fire has a preset rate this will be displayed under the MODE function and cannot be adjusted whilst in that mode.
A cycles counter is a grand total shot counter that cannot be reset by the consumer, only by the suppliers of the gun or other authorised person.
A TRIP counter is provided, which is a shot counter that can be zeroed by the user or consumer.
A timer is a countdown timer which can, for example, count down from 60 min. At the end of the count the vibrator alarm may be activated for 10 seconds. The timer can be set in 5-min increments, i.e. OFF, 5, 10, 15 etc. A sub-menu allows changes. The settings must remain in the memory even after power has been removed.
The display may also indicate test modes and a BACKLIGHT ON symbol 22 is included. Additional functions displayable include, inter alia, velocity, average velocity, gas pressure and gas usage, for example.
In one embodiment DWELL, MROF, MODE and TIMER functions are stored in non-volatile memory since these settings must be retained even when power is removed.
The button functions may be as follows in one embodiment.
Button 5 a
Gun on/off when held for 1.5 seconds
Display "-live-" when on at all times unless timer started via activation to ready state via switch 4 and pulse vibrator for 3 seconds as confirmation. NOTE; menu switch 5 b is inactive whenever the gun is in "-live-" or timer ready/timer active mode. NOTE timer can only be made active via switch 4. When in timer ready state the timer will show the set time and flash between "-live-" and set time at 1 second intervals. When gun is in the "-live-"/timer ready status, timer starts when first shot is fired then the display will show the timer counting down. The arm will go off prior to time up. This feature allows the players to know when the game end is near and that they have a final opportunity to bring the game to a conclusion. Display "-safe-" when off and switch 5 b is now active and timer stops. Battery status to be displayed at all times; mode status to be displayed at all times even when "-safe-".

B. The hopper system can be controlled via the gun to suit different parameters ie hopper in semi mode switched on when a rate of 2 shots/second are achieved. In all other modes hopper to switch on after first shot.
C. Codes are used to allow access to certain parameters of the gun, which one may not wish the consumer to have access to. IE: RS232/infrared link to have a code word which will give access to setting the ID number and resetting the CYCLES. Link remains connected for this operation. Menu on the screen hyperlink. RS232/infrared link may have a further code word which will give access to override the lock out status on the internal menus ie the internal menus can be worked on for 1 hour with the gun "live" then lockout reactivates, this countdown stating when the RS232 link is removed. This is required so the guns can be set up in assembly.
D. Power saving feature, ie Electronic Sleep occurs after 10 hours.
E. Should the battery be disconnected when reconnected the gun comes on in "-safe-" mode.
F. The power source is a rechargeable battery that can be recharged without removal from the gun.

I'm developing one social game which is similar to friends for sale game.
In the game user buys and sells friends.
Buyer of the user becomes owner of that user.
I developed logic and it works perfect as per calculation.
But when we have many number of users there is problem with this action of buy button.
E.g. 5 users are on same profile i.e. UserXYZ. Now 2 of them clicks on buy button at the same time, same second.
Amount of cash is being loose from both the accounts but only one becomes owner.
I want to stop this cash losing problem.
This problem occurs because script executes at the same time for both the users but only one of them becomes owner.
I have no idea how to stop this over sale clicks. Website is in PHP/MySQL.
Any help will really be appreciated.

ATLANTA - NOVEMBER 19: Goaltender Tuukka Rask #40 of the Boston Bruins against the Atlanta Thrashers at Philips Arena on November 19, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
Tuukka Rask stopped 21 shots and the Boston Bruins beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 on Saturday night to start December the same way they finished November. Boston beat Toronto for the fourth straight time this season and the second straight game. Nathan Horton and David Krejci each had a goal and an assist for the Bruins, who have outscored their closest pursuer in the Northeast Division 23-6 this season. Rask made his first start since the day after Thanksgiving, a 3-2 shootout loss to Detroit that was the only blemish on Boston's otherwise perfect November. He has won four of his last five, allowing a total of 9 goals. James Reimer stopped 26 shots in his first game in the net since leaving an Oct. 22 game against Montreal with an injury that was not disclosed. He had not lost in regulation in his previous six starts. Chris Kelly also scored for Boston, and Milan Lucic had a pair of assists. Mikhail Grabovski scored Toronto's only goal. The Bruins celebrated their 100th cons...

There are 2 main ways to extend the functionality of SQL Developer
- XML Defined Extensions
- Java Defined Extensions
XML Defined Extensions
XML Defined Extensions require no java programing, just some XML and SQL knowledge.
They are extremely easy to setup, but you are limited to extending certain functionality.
The user has to add these extensions one by one into SQL Developer using the User Defined Extensions preferences pane, so sharing a large extension is a bit difficult.
SQL Developer allows you to extend the
- Database Navigator
- Database Editors
- Database Actions
- Database Reports
Using SQL and XML to define the functionality of the extension.
An XML extension can be enhanced with javascript. This is useful for when you need to build dynamic SQL for your forms base on user input.
Java Defined Extensions
Java Defined Extensions require java programming skills.
More complex extensions can be defined and they can be packaged as complete SQL Developer extensions (.jar files)
SQL Developer has a public java API which can be used to extend more functionality than XML defined extension can.

Jeff Probst to Host New Daytime Talk Show
"Survivor" host Jeff Probst has signed with CBS to host a new daytime talk show premiering in the fall of 2012. Jeff was one of the contenders to replace Regis Philbin, but he removed himself from the running because he didn't want to commute to New York. There's no word yet on how this new gig will affect his role on "Survivor", but that show now films it's seasons back-to-back in the summer, so he could technically host both. Talking about the new show Jeff said "I'm fascinated with human nature and thrilled that this show will allow me the opportunity to connect with real people and explore their stories on a personal level. As I continue with Survivor, I am excited to extend my relationship with CBS with this new adventure in the world of daytime". CBS exec Aaron Meyerson said "Anyone who has seen Jeff on Survivor knows how he connects with people and has an instinct that makes him a natural and compelling host. Whether it's a newsmaker-of-the-day, a celebrity or ordinary folks, Jeff will go further than typical discussion".
