Unbelievable read what he had to say: On January 1, 2015 I was ready to commit myself and become dedicated to change my lifestyle. You have helped guide me on the right path of exercising, eating healthy, and motivating me to believe in reaching my goals. I will always remember our first training session together. The half hour fitness test was brutal and made me realize how much I let myself go. I have played sports all my life and always tried to stay fit. Unfortunately, I started to make excuses not to work out and made many bad choice with unhealthy foods. However, during the 30 day challenge I learned that I am capable of eating healthy and making time to work out with no excuses. Your program is simple but powerful. I was able to work out only for thirty minutes a day. All the exercises in your program I was able to do at home with little equipment. My family become involved in my daily routine. My daughter and son helped count for me, play music and marked off my times. It was a truly epic moment as my wife also become motivated to work out with me. My family now became much healthier and happier as we can spend more time together. Overall, I truly thank you for your time, guidance, knowledge, and motivational message that have helped me reach some incredible numbers. I started at 260 pounds barely able to do a sit up, push up, or burpee. Today, after 30 days I am 234 pounds and able to do sit ups, pushups, and burpees better than I did in my earlier years. It is amazing to me how I feel so much stronger, younger, energetic, and motivated. I look forward to my daily workout because I know that in a half hour I will have work harder than I would ever have spending hours at a gym. Thank you for changing my life and I look forward to the next phases of training.
Understand it's never over
Health and fitness is a life long commitment. Too many people sabotage their efforts because they think they are finished when they hit their weight loss goal.
Once they lose the weight they want, they go right back to their previous life style that caused the excess weight gain in the first place! NO! You've got to stick with it! And remember, it is easier to maintain once you reach your goal.
5 Tips to Relieve Muscle Soreness
ICUfit TRAINING
1. Start SLOW
It's very tempting to begin an exercise program with a lot of enthusiasm, but try your best to go at a reasonable pace. If you've never exercised, or it's been a long time since you have, go much easier than you feel you are capable of on Day 1 and ramp things up at a pace that is based on how you feel. If you're not sore, go a little harder the next day. If you're a little sore, take it down a notch.
2. Hydrate
Dehydration can also make you sore. In fact, once you're used to your workout program, nearly all-excessive soreness is due to dehydration or nutritional deficiencies. Adding exercise increases your water needs. A lot. Hydration is your body's first defense against, not only soreness, but also most illnesses and other maladies.
How much water you need varies depending on your activity level, lifestyle, where you live, etc., but an easy gauge to use is to drink half your body weight in ounces each day. That's before you account for exercise. For each hour you work out, you should add another 32 ounces (on average). This, too, varies based on the individual, heat, humidity, exercise intensity, and so forth, but you probably get the idea. You need a lot of water for optimal performance.
3. Have a Post-workout Fuel
After you finish exercising is your nutrition sweet spot. The quicker your muscles recover, the less sore you get, so you never want to skip your post-workout meal! What this meal should consist of has been debated for ages but countless modern studies show that glycogen depletion (replenished quickest with simple carbohydrates), should be your primary concern. Glycogen is a fuel that your muscles store in limited amounts. When you run out of it during exercise, your workout goes south very quickly. When it's gone, muscle damage increases until it's been restored.
Protein, which repairs muscle tissue, your muscles are hungry after exertion they crave protein. Choose natural sources such as fish, poultry, lean meats, nuts, lentils and quinoa.
4. Move More
Even though you might want to flop onto the couch, cold drink in hand, first move a little more. Slowly and gently is fine. Get the blood flowing into those sore muscles by simply walking around the house or around your neighborhood.
5. Soak in a Tub
A warm bath cures many ills, and always helps ease stiff muscles. You'll also sleep better after a bath, helping you awake refreshed.
Whether it's lasagna, spaghetti, ravioli, or any type of
pasta dish I'm all in.
I love Italian foods.
The only problem is they're all way too high in calories,
fatty oils, sauces, and cheeses.
Although things like spaghetti are usually "off limits" unless
it's a cheat day, today's recipe is an exception to the rule.
So if you're sick and tired of Chicken and Broccoli, you're
going to love the new recipe below.
Introducing Low Carb Turkey Spaghetti
Serves 4
- 1 spaghetti squash
- 1 lb. ground organic or farm raised turkey breast
- 4 cups low fat marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup of raw parmesan cheese
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cut spaghetti squash in half and remove seeds. In a shallow
baking dish place skin side up in 1 inch of water and bake
uncovered for 45 minutes.
3. When cool enough to handle, hold squash with 1 hand
and with a fork in the other hand, remove center into a
bowl (it will come out looking like spaghetti).
4. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
5. In a medium skillet, cook turkey until no longer pink and crumbled.
6. Season with salt and pepper.
7. In a small saucepan heat marinara until warm and add cooked
turkey to sauce.
8. Place 1 serving of squash on a dinner plate and top with 1
serving marinara sauce.
9. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, and enjoy.
You can even substitute the turkey breast with grass fed
beef or buffalo if you want.

Prep Time Saves Time (prepare meals ahead of time)
Eating healthy can be a pain when it comes to time. Healthy foods are not ready made in bags that you can tear off shelves. Nope, the foods with staying power have a lot of chemicals and other junk in them. That's why they can sit on shelves for so long in the first place.
Consider making meals for the week on a Sunday, putting them in containers and freezing them, saving you time during the week.
2. Summertime Playlist: Update your tunes with a summer time playlist that has you thinking summer, beach, and bikini! Motivate your body and mind with some upbeat music.
3. Crank Up the Cardio: For better fitness results and a healthier you increase the intensity of your cardio sessions by making them longer, adding intervals of strength training or trying a new routine(example: Spinning, Kickboxing, Zumba).
4. Add Yoga: Beginning a yoga practice will help the body gain strength, balance and increase flexibility. Yoga helps promote metal focus and can keep your body and mind motivated to your goals.
5. Add Weight: Increasing the resistance load in your strength training workouts will help add a challenge and increase the intensity of your session.
Why are intervals better then doing steady state cardio?
Efficiency. Studies have shown you can get as good as a workout in 15 minutes with high intensity intervals that you could do an hour workout on a treadmill. When adding intervals to your workouts you are able to get a better workout in a shorter amount of time.
Builds a healthier heart. When you are you doing intervals your are pushing yourself into an anaerobic zone for a limited amount of time which helps to build stamina and in turn helps to pump blood more efficiently throughout the body.
Lose fat not muscle. Steady state cardio can cause you to lose weight that comes from muscle loss but doing interval training can help to keep muscle while losing fat.
Increased fat burning. When doing intervals you are able to burn more fat not only during your workout but also after. High intensity interval training has been shown to release HGH (human growth hormone). HGH is responsible for increasing fat metabolism.
Try adding some intervals into your workout today. Need help #askmehow

David Wood
1914 - Poem by David Wood
Married villages emptied to the call.
Young single men from well-worn towns
Changed from suits and flat caps to khaki.
They changed their hob nailed working boots
To lugging clay-sucked boots of the trenches.
They marched down roads lined with
Loving wives and girlfriends waiving.
They marched to the slaughterhouse of
Flanders fields where poppies blossomed,
Their blood filled petals beckoning all who
Passed by and fell to the bullet or shell.
Death clinging low to the ground. Death
Walking, sickle sweeping from side to side,
With Death saying, 'I claim him' over and over.
August 1914 was just the beginning of hell.
Lions marching into the unknown and oblivion.

What percentage of PS3 games give the option to scale? (plus audio question)

Re: What percentage of PS3 games give the option to scale? (plus audio question)
yeah unfortunately most ps3 and xbox 360 games is rendered in 720p internally and must be upscaled. There's but only a handful of true 1080p games.
Both the ps3 and the 360 does the upscaling so the display needs not take care of that. It was only in the early ps3 games where the display had to upscale to 1080p from 720p as sony didn't release complete info to devs about the internal scaler. On the 360 this was always automatic.
As for audio I was speaking generally, most people don't notice the difference but some do.
I notice the difference in dynamic range too as I've composed music for so many years and is used to listening
Ogg is far better then mp3 in maintaining the dynamic range across the bit rates.
Dts 5.1 is 1536 Kbps so its greater then mp3 and ogg.
while dolby 5.1 is 384kbps or 448kbps.
they both offer lossless 7.1 compression and the ps3 and games supports that however I don't think all games make use of it as it takes up a crap load of space.
Flac is a lossless format you can store your music in btw and I think it's open source like ogg.
If you really want good dynamic range closer to that of analogue recordings you need to go 24bit audio as it offers much better sound resolution so to get less sound aliasing when bitrate isnt a factor anymore but everything in your audio chain needs to support this. The ps3 does in the lossless formats.
I really like the new dx11 texture compression methods as they work much better with the multi colored detailed maps. as the old compression methods were ment for black and white.

Here are my thoughts on the "Boost Your Replication Throughput with Parallel Apply, Prefetch, and Batching" presentation I attended today.
Here's what happening today at the 2012 MySQL Conference.
This post is just a quick update as to what is going on at the conference today. Here are the keynotes from Mark Callaghan's presentation, entitled "What Comes Next for MySQL".
Yesterday was an exciting and busy day – lots of good talks, conversations, and beer! Let me take you back to the morning sessions and the first keynotes of the day, Sam Ghods of Box: "MySQL: Still the Best Choice for Mission-Critical Data".
Pedro's dinner was full! I didn't count, but we had 9 tables of 8-10 people or so – dare I say almost 100 people? Lots of beer, margaritas, and good conversations! Here are a few pictures from the event.
If you're at the conference, please come join us for the MySQL Community Dinner at Pedro's and meet some of the people behind Pythian. We're always hiring so if you're interested, please attend the talks and tutorials being presented by Pythian folk, talk to us, or check out the job openings!
It's that time of the year again! Collaborate time: the world's only user-driven, user-run Oracle conference. From April 22nd to 26th, thousands of Oracle professionals are heading to Las Vegas for a week's worth of presentations, education sessions, networking opportunities, and who knows what else (it's Vegas, after all!). Here is what we have planned for Collaborate 12!
If you're planning on running Oracle VM with Amazon EC2, there are some important limitations you should know about. As part of my work getting the Oracle Linux Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 2 working, I tried using the Oracle-supplied Oracle Linux 6 AMI images that are listed as community AMIs by Amazon. Here are my findings.
I'm going to test Oracle's Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel out, and an obvious way to do this would be using Amazon EC2, providing high-capacity instances on demand. After some blind allies getting the Oracle Linux UEK2 kernel working with Amazon EC2 and Oracle VM, I found that I could make it work without Oracle VM, with Amazon's default Xen hypervisor. Here are the steps I used.

Was there EVER a better post game interview in MLB in 2012? I'll argue NOT. The Seattle Mariners, and Seattle are falling in love with their new outfielder.
"It's hard not to!"
Eric Thames last night drove in the winning run for the Mariners in the bottom of the 9th inning against the Tampa Bay Rays.
It was the first career walk-off hit for him.
Thames blooped a two-out, walk-off single over the head of Tampa Bay second baseman Sean Rodriguez to cap a two-run ninth-inning rally as host Seattle ended the Rays' season-high seven-game winning streak.
The two-run rally came against major-league saves leader Fernando Rodney, who had converted 22 consecutive opportunities.
Seattle's uprising kept Tampa Bay's Matt Moore from recording his fourth consecutive win.
M's catcher John Jaso gave him the shaving cream pie during our live interview.
"MY Mouth was OPEN!" Will go down as one of the best Mariners quotes ever.

Digging in at Yale's Sustainable Garden
Yale is one of many colleges that are now operating an organic vegetable garden. The garden has 300 varieties of plants, and is staffed by student volunteers who do all the work.
Students love it. The number of volunteers exceeds the need to operate this one acre garden year round. College students want to change the world, and more and more of them are realizing the importance of growing their own food.
The video on page 2 takes us to the children's garden at the San Antonio Botanical Garden where we see 10-13 year-olds gardening organically.

New Boeing contract splits engineers, tech workers
SEATTLE Boeing Co.'s engineers have accepted a new four-year contract while technical workers rejected their offer and voted to authorize a future strike.
The union representing both groups had recommended rejection of the contract because it would not provide pensions to new employees. They would have a 401(k) retirement plan instead.
The union called that unacceptable, but the Chicago-based aerospace company said the change was important to its future.
The vote tallied late Tuesday came as the company is trying to solve battery problems that have grounded its new 787s.
The engineers and technical workers in the union work on plans for new planes and solve problems that arise on the factory floor. The two units bargain at the same time, but their contracts are separate and independent agreements, the union noted.
While a strike by the technical workers is not imminent, the vote means the negotiating team can call one at any time, said Bill Dugovich, spokesman for the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace.
The engineers' vote means those 15,500 employees have a new contract in place, Dugovich said. Union negotiators hope to resume contract talks soon on behalf of the 7,400 technical workers, he said.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner said in a statement that the company was pleased with the engineers' vote but "deeply disappointed" in the technical workers' rejection of what he called the company's "best and final" offer.
"The realities of the market require us to make changes so we can invest in new products and keep winning in this competitive environment," Conner said in his statement.
"That's why our proposal to move future hires to an enhanced 401(k)-style retirement plan is so important, as we have repeatedly emphasized over the course of these negotiations."
Boeing spokesman Doug Alder said the company is legally obligated to have discussions with SPEEA, but he noted Conner's statement about the importance of the 401(k) transition for future hires.
"That remains our position," Alder said.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said he's concerned about the split vote and spoke to union and Boeing representatives, urging them to resume negotiations.
"We cannot overstate the importance of the aerospace industry to the economy of Washington," Inslee said in a statement. "There are more than 131,000 employees in aerospace-related companies working across the state, the vast majority of which are directly reliant on the Boeing Company."
Union members rejected one contract offer in October. The previous contract expired in November.
SPEEA went on strike for 40 days in 2000.
"With this second rejection by technical workers of Boeing takeaways, it's time for the company to stop wasting resources and improve its offer to reflect the value and contributions technical workers bring to Boeing," SPEEA Executive Director Ray Goforth said in a statement. "That way, we can avoid a strike and focus on fixing the problems of the 787 and restoring customer confidence in Boeing."
The latest labor unrest is happening as U.S. regulators launch an open-ended review of the 787's design and construction. Last month, a battery on a parked 787 caught fire in Boston. On Jan. 16, another 787 made an emergency landing in Japan after another battery problem.

14. A method for mounting a cooling system to the head and neck of an individual having a brain or spine injury comprising the steps of:
providing a device having top and back panels and a neck brace having front and back members;
providing cooling medium in the device;
activating the cooling medium;
interfacing the back panel to the back member to form an integrated unit;
placing the integrated unit on the back of the head of the individual;
placing the top panel on the top of the individual's head;
placing the front member on the front of the individual's neck;
interfacing the top panel to the front member; and
interfacing the front member to the back member.
The present invention relates, in general, to the field of head, neck, and spine medical treatment, and more particularly, to a cooling device for the brain and spinal cord of an individual with a brain or spinal cord injury for reducing trauma to those areas.
Without limiting the scope of the invention, its background is described in connection with brain and spinal cord treatment, as an example.
The brain and spinal cord form the central nervous system (CNS), the body's chief controlling and coordinating centers. The brain, which is housed in the skull, is the major organ of the body for control of all the body's voluntary and involuntary activities. The principal parts of the brain are the brain stem, the diencephalon, the cerebrum, and the cerebellum. Cranial bones and the cranial meninges protect the brain and cerebrospinal fluid serves as a shock absorber for the brain and circulates nutritive substances from the blood to the brain. A large round hole called the foramen magnum is located at the bottom of the skull. It is through the foramen magnum that the spinal cord passes down from the brain into the spine. The spine is a bony column which serves as a protective surrounding for the spinal cord.
When an area of the body collides with an external source in its surroundings, severe trauma and swelling of the tissue may occur in the injured area. To reduce swelling, treatment often consists of lowering the temperature of the injured area.
Lowering temperature is often achieved by applying a cold element or substance to the injured area. In some instances, the treatment has been as simple as applying ice to the location of the injury. More sophisticated methods have included applying cold packs to the injury. Heretofore, in this field, cold therapy has generally been limited to the limbs of the body including the leg (particularly the knee), the arm, and the shoulder. Treatment of this type has generally been applied most consistently in situations involving athletic injuries. Cold therapy has also been used for aesthetic purposes such as applying cold packs to the face to reduce bags under the eyes and for purposes of reducing the pain of headaches. Therapy has generally required refrigeration of the packs.
When the brain or spinal cord is traumatized due to injury, the extent of the trauma to the brain or spinal cord is not always readily apparent. The collision of an individual's head with external surroundings causes the brain to collide with the individual's skull, which may produce welling of the brain. Swelling can restrict the flow of fluids that normally circulate around the brain and, potentially, cause the fluids to accumulate and therefore compress the brain down into the floor of the skull and cervical bone of the spine. The collision of the individual's head or body with external surroundings may cause injury to the spinal cord and result in swelling. To reduce the effects of this secondary trauma, the present invention can be placed over the head, neck, and spinal regions to lower the temperature in those areas and help reduce swelling. The reduced swelling of the brain reduces the potential for more serious injury to the individual.
Therefore, there is a need for a device that may be easily transported and applied in emergency situations but may also be used in rehabilitative environments. Also, there is a need for a device that requires no special storage conditions such that implementation of such a device requires extensive redesign of, or requires, additional space for storage facilities. Furthermore, there is a need for a device that may be flexibly and easily adapted to a individual at the scene of an accident while not adding additional stress or pressure on the individual.
The present invention disclosed herein is a cooling system that includes a head and neck device which can be cooled to reduce trauma to the brain. The cooling device facilitates cooling of the head and neck which reduces swelling of the brain. Reduction of swelling of the brain helps to decrease both short and long term damage to the brain of a patient.
In one embodiment, the cooling system includes a head device and a neck brace. The head device has a front panel and a back panel; each panel capable of housing a cold element to facilitate cooling. The front panel may include a plurality of fastening devices to secure the head device to the head of the individual. The front panel may also include a plurality of orifices to facilitate access to the ears of the individual. The back panel of the head piece may include a plurality of fastening devices and a bottom appendage; the fastening device being positioned to come into contact with the plurality of fastening devices located on the front panel for complete coverage of the head and over the carotid arteries. The back panel may be elongated by attaching a back panel strip that covers the back along the spinal cord for cooling.
The cooling system may also include a neck brace having front and back brace members and a chin support. The neck brace may further include a plurality of orifices that allow air to circulate to reduce heat buildup which may cause sweating and discomfort of the individual. The neck brace may also have a hole for, e.g., facilitating a tracheotomy to assist the individual in breathing, if necessary. The neck brace may also include a fastening device to secure the neck brace to the individual and to support the head device.
In another embodiment, the cooling system of the present invention may be a one-piece head device. The head device includes an opening for facial exposure and is capable of housing a cooling element. The head device further includes a flexible material.
In yet another embodiment, the cooling system of the present invention comprises a cooling device and a cooling element system. The cooling element system includes a connecting mechanism whereby the cooling element may enter the cooling device, a storage device for housing said cooling element, and a release system.
The present invention allows Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel to monitor bleeding of the individual, if any. The present invention also facilitates management of the airway by allowing for tracheotomy treatment. Because of the facial opening of the present invention, the eyes, nose and mouth of the individual may be monitored.
For a more complete understanding of the features and advantages of the present invention, reference is now made to the detailed description of the invention along with the accompanying figures in which corresponding numerals in the different figures refer to corresponding parts and in which:
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view of the brain with cerebrospinal fluid;
FIG. 1a is a cross sectional view of the brain with cerebrospinal fluid after a traumatic injury;
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of one embodiment of the present invention as placed on an accident individual portraying the left side view;
FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of the left side view of one embodiment of the present invention in application;
FIG. 4 is a schematic illustration of the top view of the top panel of the head device of one embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration of the top view of the back panel of the head device of one embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 6 is a schematic illustration of another embodiment of the present invention as placed on a medical patient portraying the t side view; and
FIG. 7 is a frontal view of yet another embodiment of the present invention having a cooling element system fluidly connected to the head device.
The present invention disclosed herein includes a head device and a cooling medium for cooling the head and spine. Cooling of the head and spine facilitates a reduction in swelling of the brain and surrounding tissue after injury, which helps to minimize long term damage to the brain. The present invention also encompasses a method for using the head device and for activating the cooling material to facilitate cooling of the brain after an injury.
It has been reported that approximately 20 percent of all head injuries are classified as severe and hence may be potentially life threatening. The overall effects of traumatic brain injuries are permanent and complex, thus, management of traumatic brain injury is of critical importance. Management of the effects of the injuries during the critical time period following severe brain injury or during what professionals in emergency medicine have termed the golden hour affects the survival and recovery of those individuals. This golden hour includes the time the patient is at the scene of the accident and the essential field stabilization and transport of the individual to a medical facility. The golden hour also includes a window of opportunity to determine how extensive the damage is to the brain. Neurologists may need to perform a CT scan to evaluate the extent of damage to the brain and to determine if there are bleeds, lesions contusions to the brain, and/or fractures to the skull. On-scene intervention also includes procedures that are as unobtrusive as possible and limit damage to the brain. Current emergency protocols require checking airway, breathing, and circulation (ABC's)followed by neck and spinal stabilization when neck and back injury appears to be evident before transport.
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view of the brain with cerebrospinal fluid. The brain 12, as well as the spinal cord 14, is generally protected against injury by cerebrospinal fluid 16. The cerebrospinal fluid 16 circulates through the subarachnoid space 18 that is around the brain 12 and spinal cord 14. The cerebrospinal fluid 16 also circulates through the brain 12 via ventricles 20. Normally, cerebrospinal fluid 16 is absorbed as rapidly as it is formed. Cerebrospinal fluid generally leaves the body at the same rate it is produced, about 0.47 milliliters per hour, through the arachnoid space 18 at the top of the skull 15. The cerebrospinal fluid 16 is a clear, colorless, fluid having a watery consistency and contains vital nutrients including proteins, glucose, salts, and white blood cells. The cerebrospinal fluid 16 also circulates nutrients delivered via the blood.
FIG. 1a is a cross sectional view of a brain having swelled against the skull 15 designated as 22. When a brain injury occurs there is primary physical damage that can kill or disable. But there are also secondary insults to the brain 12, which result from the swelling of the brain 12. When swelling occurs, the brain 12 will swell against the skull 15, thus blocking the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid 16 around the brain 12 and blocking the flow of nutrients through the ventricles 20. The internal pressure builds and squeezes blood vessels blocking the flow of blood which carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain. A reduction in the flow of nutrients to the brain 12 also causes secondary damage to the brain 12. The build up of fluids 16 causes inter-cranial pressure (ICP) to build and the brain swells against the skull and blocks the exit point of cerebrospinal fluid 16. The brain also becomes damaged by pressing against the wall of the skull. All of the above cause additional or secondary injury to the brain. The elevation of the heart rate increases more blood to the injured area of the brain, thereby causing more damage due to swelling and the presence of blood destroying brain cells.
The present inventor has recognized that application of a cold element to the head, neck, and/or spine reduces the swelling of the brain and spinal cord after an injury and reduces the increased flow of blood by means of cooling the carotid artery. Reducing swelling is particularly important in emergency situations such as vehicle accidents which involve head and/or spinal cord injuries as there is eminent potential for build up of blood and cerebrospinal fluid in the cranial cavity. Damage is further intensified because the heart rate is increased as a natural response to trauma, thereby increasing profusion pressure (more blood to the injured site). In the case of penetrating or open head injuries, the problem of increased pressure due to blockage or exit capabilities is naturally reduced as the skull has been penetrated, but reducing the flow of blood to the area may help to reduce the amount of hemorrhaging.
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of one embodiment of the present invention as placed on an accident individual. The accident individual 10 is found immobile at the scene of the accident. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) has standard guidelines by which treatment is administered to brain and spinal cord injury individuals. EMS will perform the ABC's and make an assessment using the Glascow Coma Scale (GCS) which assesses the person's level of consciousness by eye opening, visual tracking, response to pain, and environmental stimulation to determine if a brain injury is suspected. If the person is unconscious, the stabilization of the head, neck, and back is completed. EMS personnel will be able to place the cooling system 24 on the head of the individual 10 in order to reduce intercranial pressure consequently reducing trauma to the brain and in turn, reducing or minimizing brain damage. The cooling system 24 is mounted on the head and neck of individual 10 through the use of head device 30 and neck brace 32. The cooling system 24 stabilizes and cools the head and neck of individual 10. The use of the cooling system 24 can be used in addition to current neurological protocols as an effort to reduce the need for a shunt, thereby reducing the need for invasive procedures to an already injured site.
Referring to FIG. 3, the head device 30 includes a top panel 34, a back panel 36, and a back panel strip 37 all of which are made of flexible material 38. Flexible material 38 may be, e.g., plastic, flexible foam, cloth, paper, or rubber. The flexible material 38 may have non-metallic properties that allow the head device 30 to be worn into a magnetic resonance imaging ("MRI")machine after individual 10 is brought to a medical facility. Head device 30 also includes a top layer 40 and bottom layer 42 that allow the cooling properties of cooling system 24 to be activated.
The neck brace 32 may include a front brace member 44, a back brace member 46, and a plurality of orifices 48 for air circulation. Neck brace 32 may also include a chin support 50 that permits the neck brace 32 to be more comfortably fitted to individual 10. The brace members 44 and 46 may include a plurality of inside fastening devices 52 and a plurality of outside fastening devices 54, that permit the brace members 44 and 46 to be fastened and permit the head device 30 to be interfaced to the neck brace 32 and provide a rigid support for the head of individual 10.
Referring to FIG. 4, the top panel 34 having a substantially rectangular shape has a first elongated member 56, a second elongated member 58, and a central portion 60. The elongated members 56 and 58 extend from the central portion 60 of the top panel 34, which permit the central portion 60 to be positioned on top of the head of individual 10. The elongated members 56 and 58 are generally flush with the sides of the face of individual 10. Elongated member 56 and 58 extend down to facilitate cooling of the carotid arteries. The first and second elongated members 56 and 58 include a first recess 62 and a second recess 64, respectively, to provide openings for the ears of individual 10. Accessibility to the ears of individual 10 allows EMS to provide medical treatment, if necessary, as bleeding from the ears can result from traumatic brain injuries. Accessibility to the ears of individual 10 also allows the patient to hear EMS personnel. The central portion 60 may include a third recess 71 for the hair of individual 10. The top panel 34 may further include a fastening device 68 (located on central portion 60), a left panel fastening device 70 and right panel fastening device 72 (also located on central portion 60). Left panel fastening device 70 is generally located below and adjacent fastening device 68 and is generally parallel to right panel fastening device 72, which is located below and to the right of the fastening device 68. The fastening devices 68, 70, and 72 are positioned to moveably connect to a fastening strap 73 that secures the head device 30 to individual 10.
The top panel 34 may also include a first and second reflective member 74 and 76, respectively, whereby the head of individual 10 is readily visible in dark and low visibility conditions. The top panel 34 may also include a bottom fastening device 78 located on central portion 60 that permits the back panel 36 to be connected and provides full coverage of the head of individual 10. The top panel 34 may also include left and right end tabs 80 and 82, located at the ends of elongated members 56 and 58 ,respectively. Located adjacent of end tabs 80 and 82 are end fastening devices 84 and 86.
Now referring to FIG. 5, the back panel 36 is depicted having an appendage 88, a first plurality of fastening devices 90, a second plurality of fastening devices 92, and a third plurality of fastening devices 94. The plurality of first fastening devices 90 are generally positioned in parallel on back panel 36 and used to connect the back panel 36 to the neck brace 32. The second plurality of fastening devices 92 are fixedly attached to the back panel 36 and connect the sides of back panel 36 to the elongated members 54 and 56 of the front panel 34. The appendage 88 has an appendage fastening device 96 fixedly attached to the appendage 88. The appendage fastening device 96 of appendage 88 and the third plurality of fastening devices 94 attach to the cooling strap 73 to secure the head device 30 to the head of individual 10. A back panel strip 37 (FIG. 5a) may be attached to the back panel 36 to facilitate cooling of the spinal cord area.
The cooling medium 98 may be any substance that provides cooling properties to the head device. The cooling medium may include chemical packets that are activated by application of pressure to the packet resulting in an endothermic reaction. The cooling medium may also include ice or generic ice packs that are refrigerated. The cooling medium generally will lower the temperature of the head approximately one to approximately two degrees and may include a large number of packets or changing of packets at predetermined intervals such that the head is cooled.
FIG. 6, depicts another embodiment of the present invention. The cooling system has a head piece 100 having an opening 102 and a cooling medium 98 which allows the face to be exposed for sight and breathing by the individual 10. The head piece 100 has a top layer 104 and bottom layer 106 and the cooling medium 98. The head piece 100 is suitable for non-emergency situations athletic events, such as boxing, where repeated blows to the head occur. The head piece 100 may also be worn when needed by traumatic brain injury patients that are in rehabilitation therapy when needed. Trauma to the brain requires extensive rehabilitation, which may lead to swelling from time to time and which causes setbacks in recovery. Patients in rehabilitation will generally feel a heating sensation. Such swelling and sensation may be reduced by application of the head piece 100.
FIG. 7 is cross-sectional view of yet another embodiment of the present invention. The neck brace 32 and cooling medium system 108 function as integral parts of the neck brace 32. Circulated through the front brace member 44 and the back brace member 46 are a chemical or chemical mixtures that act as coolants. The chemical or chemical mixtures are contained in a tank 110, and their circulation is regulated by valves 112 that are interconnected to the front brace member 44 and the back brace member 46. The flow of chemicals allows for immediate reduction of swelling of the brain and may be, e.g. constant, intermittent or under the control of a temperature gauge or feed back system.
In operation, if cooling medium 98 is resident in head device 30, such as a single-use or replaceable package, then cooling medium 98 is simply activated and the device 30 is placed on the patient. If the cooling medium 98 is stored outside the head device 30, the cooling medium 98 is activated and then placed within the head device 30. The cooling system 24 is then mounted on the head of individual 10.
The cooling system 24 is mounted by first placing the back panel 36 flat into the inside of back brace member 46 followed by aligning the first plurality of fastening devices 90 of back panel 36 with the inside fastening devices 52 of back brace member 46. Fastening devices 90 and 52 are then connected. The top layer 40 of back panel 36 should face the inside of back brace member 46 such that the third plurality of fastening devices 94 of back panel 36 are unencumbered by the back brace member 46. The combined back panel 36 and back brace member 46 are then carefully and strategically positioned to the back of the head of individual 10.
Next, the top panel 34 of head device 30 is placed on the top portion of the head of individual 10 with the top fastening device 68 of front panel 34 facing the face of individual 10. Once front panel 34 has been positioned so as to cover the top of individual's 10 head, elongated members 56 and 58 are brought down and around the individual's 10 face to the right and left respectively. As the two elongated members 56 and 58 are lowered, a first recess 62 and a second recess 64 are comfortably positioned around the ears of individual 10 within the recesses 62 and 64. The fastening device 68 of front panel 34 sits in close proximity to the eyes but generally do not cover them. The fastening device 78 of top panel 34 is attached to the fastening device 96 of back panel 36, providing full coverage of the head. The reflective members 74 and 76 should generally be readily visible at each side of the elongated members 56 and 58. The two elongated members 56 and 58 will generally meet at the bottom of individual's 10 chin. The left-end fastening device 80 and the right- end fastening device 82 allow, e.g., EMS, to pull gently to snugly fit to head of individual 10.
The front brace member 44 is placed around the front of individual's 10 neck and the elongated members 56 and 58 such that the chin of individual 10 sits comfortably in the chin support 50 of front brace member 44. The front and back brace members 44 and 46 will generally meet such that the plurality of fastening devices are connected to secure the entire cooling system. The cooling strap 73 is then applied centeredly to the front fastening device 96 of top panel 34. Finally, the cooling strap is brought around to attach to the second plurality of fastening devices 92 of top panel 34.
The foregoing description has been directed to particular embodiments of the invention in accordance with the Patent Statutes for the purposes of illustration and explanation. It will be apparent that many alternatives, modifications, and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing disclosure. In particular changes may be made to the shape and size of the head piece and neck brace to accomodate all patients, including humans and animals.

Texas could add $180 million to its economy over three years if it allowed same-sex couples to marry, according to a study from the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law released Wednesday.
The study predicts that more than 23,000 same-sex couples in Texas would marry within three years if the state allowed them to. The legalization of gay marriage would mean a surge in gay weddings, the study estimates, creating a nearly $15 million boost to sales tax revenue over three years. The economic impact would likely be greater if Texas extended marriage rights to gay couples ahead of neighboring states like Louisiana and Oklahoma, because the state could become a wedding destination for same-sex couples, said Christy Mallory, one of the study's authors. But chances are slim that conservative Texas lawmakers would allow same-sex marriage unless the courts force states to do so.
The report, which applies Texas population data to a model based on states where gay marriage has been legalized, provides a financial argument for same-sex marriage, said Kevin Nix, a spokesman for Freedom to Marry, a gay rights group.
"There is a fiscal component, and there is also a families component," he said. "Allowing gay people to marry is actually a conservative value. It's about limited government and it's about stronger families."
Gay marriage opponents have a different view. Jonathan Saenz, executive director of the socially conservative group Texas Values, said the study used a model that wouldn't apply to Texas.
"For 10 straight years, Texas has been ranked as the top state for business. It's no surprise that Texas has also defined marriage as between one man and one woman in its constitution during these same 10 years, since 2005," Saenz said. "California, a state that performs homosexual marriages, is ranked as one of the five worst states for business in 2014. Case closed."
Mallory said business rankings "take into account a variety of factors that contribute to the state's overall economy, and do not negate our findings that marriage would boost spending in the wedding and tourism industries."
Texas voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment in 2005 that banned gay marriage.
But in the intervening years, gay rights advocates in Texas and nationally have gained momentum. That was perhaps most visible in Texas in February, when a federal judge in San Antonio struck down the state's gay marriage ban. Presiding Judge Orlando Garcia stayed the effect of his ruling, meaning same-sex couples are still not permitted to get married.
Gay marriage remains a polarizing social issue in Texas. The state's Democratic Party has called for the complete repeal of laws that deny marriage rights to same-sex couples. But the Republican Party, which dominates state politics, supports marriage "only between a natural man and a natural woman," and this year it endorsed "reparative therapy" for people "seeking healing and wholeness from their homosexual lifestyle." The therapy has been dismissed by the American Psychological Association as having a "serious potential to harm" young people.
Gov. Rick Perry received heated criticism over a recent comment he made comparing homosexuality to alcoholism at a San Francisco event. Perry did not apologize, but he told reporters a week later that he had "stepped right in it," and he stressed the need "to be a really respectful and tolerant country, to everybody."
Legislative proposals to lift the state's same-sex marriage ban have seen a quick demise in the Capitol, like a measure authored last year by state Rep. Garnet Coleman, D-Houston, that never made it out of committee. And no statewide candidate from the Republican Party — which has won every statewide election in Texas for two decades — supports gay marriage. Observers say the most likely path to gay marriage in the Lone Star State would involve a ruling with national implications from the U.S. Supreme Court. Following rulings from courts in several states striking down gay marriage bans, some speculate that the high court could rule on the issue as early as June 2015 — after the end of the state's next legislative session.
The issue of gay marriage has surfaced in the gubernatorial race between Democratic state Sen. Wendy Davis and Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott. Davis, who supports gay marriage and legal job protections for LGBT Texans, has received significant financial support from gay rights organizations. The political arm of Equality Texas, an LGBT political advocacy group, contributed at least $56,000 to Davis' campaign for governor, while the Washington, D.C.-based Lesbian Super PAC gave $30,000.
Abbott is defending the state's gay marriage ban as part of his job as the state's top lawyer. But Abbott, a personal friend of one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the states who is seeking to get married, has used milder language than many of his Republican colleagues on the subject of gay marriage. "This is an issue on which there are good, well-meaning people on both sides," Abbott said in a February response to the ruling. "It's an issue that will ultimately be resolved by a higher court."

Normally in most Italian cities, we would tell our groups to stay off the main streets & squares because you pay more and get less quality.
Piazza Navona is one exception. This is a beautiful square known to many now, from the Angels and Demons movie (the fountain scene) please note movie fans – you will NEVER see the square so empty as you do in the movie (unless it's in the middle of the night)!
There's a lovely atmosphere in the square (not so much in winter) & it is also romantic for couples. That's not to say only couples should come here and dine. There are buskers singing and/or playing guitar & painters selling their work – sadly there are now also annoying people who try to sell you stupid cheap toys that have nothing to do with Italy. During December, markets are held on this square selling mostly Christmas items.
It's the one place I do tell people to sit on the square because most restaurants have good food without being too overpriced. I'm not recommending one place in particular, just the square and the area itself. If being on the square doesn't appeal; there's plenty of choices on the tiny streets just off the square or behind.
I also practice what I preach – coincidentally, my parents, Aunt & Uncle were here on their tour the same night as my tour was in Rome & had a free night for dinner. Piazza Navona was the only place I thought to bring them when I showed them this beautiful city & will be one of my lasting memories of Rome after 40+ times of being there. Great company, a great atmosphere (in a historical square) and great food…they are mostly the reasons people travel to Italy for right?

People say I am a modern day renaissance man, don't know why because I do not wear tights or clothes that takes you 2 hours to put on. To be honest I have worn tights and they are quite comfy, but that is a totally different story for a different time. I grew up in Southeast Asia in the Philippines, Singapore, but mainly in Hong Kong which is why I consider that where I am from and home. Due to the fact that I had the opportunity of growing up overseas I was able to see things experience different cultures at such a young age which has made me open to a number or ideas and ways of thinking. It has also made me grab the traveling bug at a very young age and it has not let go. I have been all over Asia a number of times, Australia, South America, Central America, and Europe. There is nothing that I won't try and do. I enjoy pushing the envelope with whatever I am doing and wherever I go. I am hoping to attract someone who is strong, confident but also has the inner child still in them, someone who can be fun and be super silly and not worry about what people think or care. Someone that I can have a serious conversation with on any level about anything and who does not judge and have that same person make me laugh and laugh about the most ridiculous things in life. Someone who is not afraid to try new things, enjoys traveling, movies, a work hard play hard person. Ok, enough of opening up and making you run away, things that I enjoy doing. I used to be a semi-pro skier so I enjoy skiing immensely, I sail all the time on SF bay, actually I race every Friday night, I dive as much as possible in warm waters that is. I am huge movie buff and love going to movies all the time, BBQ's in the park, hiking, camping, going to beach, relaxing in coffee shops, yeah SF has a lot to offer and I try to soak it all up and hopefully you will be apart of it.

PRLog - Dec. 21, 2011 - SAN ANTONIO -- Economic Principles And Woes Explained In The New Book, What A Fine Mess!
Ever wonder what in the world is going on with the U.S. Government?
The Economic Comic will give the big picture in words and principles that readers can understand. These principles will help employees, employers, consumers and citizens. What A Fine Mess will help readers understand the difference between what the Federal government should be doing versus the Socialistic role it has assumed. This is the first in the "If I weren't laughing I'd be crying" series.
What a Fine Mess is practical and eye-opening for anyone wanting to understand about the ominous future of the U.S. economy. If the citizens are better educated, an unambiguous outrage will surely follow. From F.D.R. to Barrack Obama, our leaders have bought into the myth that the government is the answer.
After reading this book, readers will know why "You don't ask the arsonist to put out the fire. His answer will be more matches."
"With every piece of legislation, government takeover, or bailout, we are marching toward the precipice of socialism...For those that react to crisis with the call for more regulation and more restrictions, I would propose that you: ask not what your government can do for you, ask what you will be able to do once you have allowed government to do for you," says the Economic Comic, Dr. Daniel R. Coleman.
In this easy-to-read and thought-provoking work, Coleman presents a new set of basic economic principles to help readers comprehend the causes of today's economic woes. Readers will understand why government, though well intentioned, is seldom the best economic choice and discover just what it will take to turn the country around. With a dash of humor, the Economic Comic will prove that we can be optimistic for the future, even though we aren't laughing now.
