Strong, fighters, courageous, outstanding, brave, caring: VETERANS. These are just a few words I use to describe the many men and women who have fought and risked their lives for this country. They put their lives and dreams on hold for the millions of people in the nation to protect our lives, our rights, our freedom, and our land. That is just one reason why on November 11th of every year, we dedicate our love, support and appreciation to the US veterans as we honor the many who have fought or are still fighting right now for us. Do we thank them enough?
Veteran's Day is a day to honor, thank, support and appreciate all military personnel who have served, died or are still serving in any war. We celebrate Veteran's Day by parades, assemblies, memorials and speeches because they commemorate the sacrifices that veterans and soldiers made.
Many people do not know the effect deployment can have on a family, a soldier, the economy and a veteran. The economy could go through a depression. People could lose their jobs. The economy could weaken. A family could lose loved ones. A soldier could leave one way, but come back another way mentally and physically, or not come back at all. Deployment has an effect on all our lives in some way. If it weren't for the soldiers of the armed forces, we could have lost everything.
I come from a family of great men and women who have served in all wars. My great granddaddy, several aunts, uncles and cousins have served in many different wars such as the Korean, Afghanistan, Vietnam and every other major war the US has served in since World War I. I salute them for their courage and bravery!
We should thank the soldiers for everything they have done to help, protect and serve the United States of America. Without them, where would we be as a nation?

Former South Carolina pitcher Michael Roth cruised through the first three innings of his first Major League start Wednesday night, but got rocked in the fourth and took the loss.
Roth (1-1) allowed six hits and five earned runs in 3 1/3 innings of the Angels' 11-3 loss to Texas, walking two and striking out two. The Rangers scored nine runs in that fourth inning.
Roth gave up just one hit through the first three innings. But in the fourth, the first five batters reached on three singles and two walks.
"Whenever you walk the leadoff guy, that's never a good thing," Roth told reporters. "I made some OK pitches, they put some good swings on it, but two walks is what really killed me."
Elsewhere among Lowcountry players in pro baseball Wednesday:
• First baseman Justin Smoak (Stratford HS, USC) continued his good work of late, belting his first home run of the season in the Mariners' 10-3 loss to Houston. Smoak was 1 for 3 and is 5 for 10 in the last three games, raising his average to .228.
• Pitcher Bobby Parnell (Charleston Southern) got the win in the Mets' 7-3 victory over the Dodgers, working one inning of scoreless relief. Parnell is 1-0 with a 1.17 ERA and two saves this season.
• Centerfielder Brett Gardner (Holly Hill, College of Charleston) was 1 for 4 in the Yankee's 3-0 loss to Tampa Bay, keeping his average at .250.
In the minors Wednesday:
• Pitcher Asher Wojciechowski (Beaufort, The Citadel) made the start and worked five innings in a 6-3 win over Midland, allowing five hits and two earned runs with two walks and six strikeouts. Wojciechowski did not figure in the decision, and the earned runs were the first he's allowed this season. He's 2-0 with an 0.78 ERA in five appearances for Class AA Corpus Christi.
• Outfielder Justin Greene (Stratford HS) went 2 for 4 and scored two runs in Class AA Mobile's 4-3 win over Mississippi. Greene hit a triple and is now batting .250.
• Pitcher Drew Cisco (Wando HS) worked seven innings and allowed six hits and three earned runs, walking none and striking out five, but took the loss in Class A Dayton's 3-1 loss to Lansing. Cisco is 1-1 with a 2.42 ERA.

'Bye Bye Manchester United' was the English title used by Munich's Abendzeitung to describe Bayern Munich's 3-1 win over the Red Devils on Wednesday night.
"The dream of a back-to-back Champions League title is still alive," its story read. "They may have fallen 1-0 behind, but that was a wake-up call. Three goals in 17 minutes from Mandzukic, Muller and Robben."
The Abendzeitung gives the biggest of credit to Bayern's victory to United - for stinging them with Patrice Evra's bolt out of the blue. "Woe betide anybody who attempts to hurt this Bayern," continued the paper. "That goal made Bayern become Bayern once again."
The Suddeutsche Zeitung said that Bayern had "powered their way" into the semi-finals, touching on the same theme. "Sometimes a beast just needs to be irritated before it rediscover's its hunting instinct," it claimed. Evra's goal was just that.
"In the 58th minute, FC Bayern - the treble winners, Club World Cup winners, the best club on the planet, coached famously by the greatest coaching genius in the universe - were out, for an instant."
The tabloid Bild crowned Thomas Muller as "the Bayern king" thanks to his goal which made it 2-1, and prompted Sky's studio guest Franz Beckenbauer to liken him with the eponymous namesake Gerd. "Yes, that goal reminded me of Gerd," said Bayern's honorary president.
Sixty-nine seconds was the length of time Bayern "had to tremble" before Mandzukic levelled. "It was a deserved, but difficult victory, setting up what will be a fantastic semi-final, no matter what," according to the Bild.
Die Welt was less enthusiastic about the defending champions' victory, on the other hand. "This defence must improve," it titled.
While suggesting that Bayern were the better team over the two legs, it claimed work must be done to reach a third straight final. "Regardless of the draw, the defence must improve. They allowed Wayne Rooney far too much room and did not always look safe when United countered."
Nevertheless, the main theme in the German press was one of a dominant Bayern side who just needed stimulation before responding, and with a look to Friday's draw, the Express summed up the sentiments: "Madrid or Mourinho - it doesn't matter, the main thing is reaching the final."

Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) will host a free lecture April 9 on the power of personal observation in reviewing business opportunities – just one tool that businesses must use in order to be successful.
Andy Wong, MHCC instructor, will present "India Incorporated versus China Incorporated: A Personal Journey," noon – 1 p.m. in Town & Gown (Room AC2057) on the Gresham Campus, 26000 S.E. Stark St. Wong's presentation is open to students, MHCC employees and the community. Parking is free on all MHCC campuses, no permit required.
"The impact of India and China on the global economy is growing," Wong says. "As international businesses increase their activities in both countries, there is a need for more knowledge about how to do business in each one. While much is written about these two countries, wise businesses must also do their research in person." Wong travelled to India and China in January while on sabbatical.
Wong's presentation is part of MHCC's Worldview lecture series, and will explore environmental issues, infrastructure, entrepreneurship, consumer behavior and other cultural and political factors that impact a business's ability to succeed in these markets.
About the speaker Andy Wong is an instructor at Mt. Hood Community College where he teaches courses in introductory business, leadership and international business. Prior work experiences include banking and high technology. He is a founding member of the Master of International Management program at Portland State University. He has also taught full-time at George Fox University and Linfield College. His international experience includes working for an Oregon-based high technology company doing business in Europe and Asia and as a supervisor for a Japanese company in Osaka, Japan.

As a matter of fact, I definitely recommend downloading the free trial from the Pinnacle web site and trying that out first, whether you're interested in 3D or not. According to Brandon Le - Blanc over on Microsoft's official Windows blog, Microsoft is intending to let current Windows users upgrade to Windows 8 as little as $39. It will be the quickest and the best antivirus software and anti malware to respond on the Windows 8 vulnerabilities. The part I had essentially the most trouble with is switching forwards and backwards between Metro and Desktop modes. So exactly what is the point. FAT and NTFS include the file allocation system found in Windows operating system to control all the docs file. Now with the Windows 8 version of Angry Birds Star Wars it is simple to download it and enjoy playing it. At that point, it's not longer a matter of whether an app will work about the OS, but instead a question of whether an app will are powered by everything from an ARM chip on up to some quad-core CPU. The Setup program then selects the optimized version with the download (up to 25% smaller) that is right for the PC (32-bit or 64-bit). This way you don't need to worry about hacking. Add it as soon as your users need being able to switch some numeric values with pre-defined step or when the input info is quite sensitive. Installing Xbox Smart - Glass will give you the advantage of creating a 2nd screen to get a better console experience along with maps, song queues (games) and stats. A little information about the azure is necessary before speculating anything in regards to the next version of Windows. There simply is nowhere for these devices and Microsoft and their partners should be working in order that they are all taken off the shelves. With the D9 Conference, Microsoft revealed what sort of all new OS works flawlessly without requiring just the most recent apps, and also using the well-versed Windows programs and software, providing people all from the resources and abilities they have visit count on from Microsoft. The new anticipated release time for that complete SDK is the same time when Microsoft sets in motion Windows Phone 8. The test version was downloaded in approximately 70 countries after Microsoft gave its presentation of Windows 8. With the Metro user interface being used with Windows 8, touch friendly designs will never be limited to mobile phones. Windows systems are been the prospective of attacks, hacking and virus and malware attacks. NET will continue to be an important role since the framework which the cloud computing service for the people same apps and devices will run. In the mean time, users all over the world are awaiting this latest OS application being launched and keeping their fingers crossed. It is readily available for free download, and is available in three different packages:. Click Settings then More PC Settings. Windows 8 upgrade assistant will warn of potential software or hardware compatibility issues, so in case you're PC isn't up for the mark when it comes to hardware compatibility, there might be issues. So expensive is being talked and discussed new Windows app Marketplace. Some may disagree, but my conclusion is clear; Microsoft has all smudged again. When looking at reset a forgotten Windows 7 password, one of the most efficient way is to make use of a third- party Windows password recovery tool. So here i am, over 12 years later, and what has changed at Microsoft. Also you can look into the Windows 8. iso image with a DVD, If you don't have an. Let's not check out far. By time Windows 8 is able to launch, the cost of 128-bit chips is still too expensive for the average consumer to purchase. Download Windows 8

Gear Review
Cute, Comfy & Convenient!
I love these board boots! They are soft on the inside, so comfortable and really easy to tighten up with the boa system. I got the white pair and was worried I would get them dirty & scuffed up as a beginner snowboarder. However, these boots have been able to hold their own and still look pretty new after the season. The only annoying thing is that it is a little difficult to hook my leash into the wire laces.

Did you give Bravo's new show The Fashion Show a chance? I did and overall I thought it was amusing. The caliber of designers isn't the most impressive, but I loved the live audience aspect. I'll definitely continue to watch.
If you loved James-Paul's winning look, you can purchase his black Rubik's Cube dress and navy bolero ($199 and $99, respectively) right now. I can see those with avant-garde taste totally rocking it. Be sure to check back to Bravo's shopping section every week because all winning looks will be available to the masses. Neat, huh?

Yeah I was pretty unimpressed with the workmanship as well. I was a little upset that they booted the menswear guy, because even though his outfit was GOD AWFUL and he technically deserved it, at least they know the man can sew. The girl they let stay was just thoroughly mediocre and I think the other guy had a lot more potential... oh well.

Unlike Project Runway, The Fashion Show isn't that dramatic and interesting. However, since I love fashion so much, I will continue to watch the show and am interested in seeing what these designers will produce. I do think, however, that the first challenge was quite difficult for being a first challenge. My two favorite looks were the one featured above and the one that Merlin created. Although I wouldn't wear this week's winning look (I'm short, and the dress on me won't look good at all!), I do like the bolero--but not that much where I'll spend $100 on it. Hopefully the Fashion Show will win me over in weeks to come.

The efficiency and longevity of an implantable electrotherapy device is greatly improved by utilizing a biocompatible coating material to selectively cover desired portions of the electrotherapy device and/or the related leads. This coating thus allows only specific portions of the device to be in electrical contact with the patient's tissue, thus more closely controlling the electrical signal transfer characteristics of the device. Because a more concentrated or localized signal transmission characteristic is possible, the efficiency of the electrotherapy device is greatly improved. Further, because power is being more efficiently and effectively utilized, the overall longevity of the implantable device is also improved.

This application claims priority from provisional application Ser. No. 60/495,235, filed Aug. 14, 2003.
The present invention generally relates to implantable electro-stimulation devices for use in the human body. More specifically, the present invention relates to the specific configuration and tailoring of non-conducting coatings so that electrical stimulation signals are more carefully controlled through the remaining surfaces of the device.
The human heart normally maintains its own intrinsic rhythm in order to consistently pump a proper supply of blood throughout the body's circulatory system. However, some people are afflicted with irregular cardiac rhythms, or cardiac arrhythmias, resulting in diminished blood circulation. Drug therapy is one mode of treatment for cardiac arrhythmias. Unfortunately, drug therapy is not effective for treating all cardiac arrhythmias. Hence, alternative modes of treatment including an implantable electrotherapy devices, such as pacemakers and defibrillators, are utilized.
Patients with bradyarrythmias, or symptomatic or slow beating of the heart, are often treated with pacemakers. These devices deliver timed sequences of low energy electrical stimuli to the heart via leads having one or more electrodes placed about the heart. With proper timing of the electrical stimuli, heart contractions are regulated such that the heart contracts at a proper rate, greatly improving blood supply throughout the body's circulatory system.
Patients with malignant tachyarrhythmia, or potentially life threatening fast beating of the heart, are often treated with implantable cardioverter defibrillators. These devices deliver high-energy electrical stimuli called defibrillation countershock to the heart. The countershock interrupts the tachyarrhythmia allowing the heart to establish a perfusing rhythm which allows the heart to completely fill with blood before pumping. Other implantable electrotherapy devices include pacer/defibrillators, which combine the functions of pacemakers and defibrillators, drug delivery devices, and other systems designed for diagnosing and treating arrhythmias.
In addition to the above heart conditions that are treated with electrical stimulation signals, various muscle and nerve conditions also benefit from electrical stimulation. For example, electrical signals may be used for pain management, where signals effect nerve system reaction. Further, electrical systems also include muscular stimulation devices, which provide appropriate-signals to the body to aid in injury recovery. In another example, drug delivery is achieved using electrical signals to "drive" certain drugs into the body.
Conventional implantable electrode leads used together with implantable electrotherapy devices are commonly known. An implantable electrode lead is generally comprised of at least one electrode for supplying an electrical stimulation pulse or sensing an electrically evoked response of the heart, an electrical connector for connecting the electrode lead to an implantable electrotherapy device, and a lead body inserted between the electrode and the electrical connector for transmitting an electrical signal between the electrode and the implantable electrotherapy device. In some cases the connector is eliminated as the lead body is directly connected to the therapy device.
When providing electrical signals to the human body, a minimum threshold signal level is often required in order to establish current flow. Once achieved, the same signal flow can be maintained using less overall power. Further, this threshold becomes a major design consideration for the implantable device. The threshold itself generally relates to the electrical characteristics of human tissue. Further, the configuration of the electrodes themselves will affect the amount of power required to overcome this threshold (which is often measured in terms of current density amperes per centimeters squared). Thus, the surface area of the electrodes will have a direct affect on the threshold current achieved, and thus the overall power required for any particular device.
Biocompatible materials have been developed for covering implantable leads with dissolvable coatings for improving initial placement and extraction of leads and electrodes. In addition these coatings help to minimize infection and scar tissue development around leads and electrodes. (See e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 6,584,363 B2).
In addition to the electrodes, the implantable device itself is a source of electrical current. The configuration of the device's surface area will also effect the electrical operation of the device. Hence, there is currently a need to control the surface area of these electrical components that are exposed to patient tissue when the electrical signals are emitted from the implantable electrotherapy device (including pacemaker or defibrillator surfaces and lead and electrode surfaces).
Implantable electrotherapy devices (e.g., pacemakers, defibrillators, etc.) are all specifically configured to provide a desired electrical signal to a patient. Often, these devices include control or signal generation circuitry that is included within a "package" or "can". Further, these devices often utilize electrodes, which are placed some distance away from the main device body. The "can" is also configured to operate as an electrode in the system, thus creating a current path when combined with the remote electrodes.
At the present time, the entire implantable device package is utilized as one electrode. The present invention utilizes a biologically stable, non-conductive coating material applied to the device package to modify the amount of surface area exposed to human tissue. Additionally, the electrodes cooperating with the device package are similarly coated in order to provide only a limited amount of exposed area. By eliminating the conducting surface area exposed to patient tissue, the current density may be more easily controlled. More specifically, the same amount of current density can be achieved using much lower current levels. Because lower current levels would be required, the efficiency of the overall system is enhanced. Additionally, the longevity of the implantable electrotherapy device is increased because lower power levels are required.
Further details of the preferred embodiment can be seen by reading the following description in conjunction with the drawings in which:
The present invention pertains to a non-conductive, biocompatible coating, such as a polymer, ceramic, Teflon or silicon based material for use in conjunction with an implantable electrotherapy device. More specifically, it pertains to the use of such a coating on specific surfaces of the implantable electrotherapy device and leads in order to selectively enhance and control of the delivery of electrical current to the surrounding human tissue.
Referring to the drawings, a device 10 of the present invention is depicted. Preferably, the device 10 comprises an implantable electrotherapy device 10. It will be understood that electrotherapy device 10 contains electrical circuitry required to generate all electrotherapy signals desired. The bottom surface 12 of the implantable electrotherapy device may be coated with a non-conductive, biocompatible material 14 such that some portion 16 of the surface remains uncoated and electrically active. The remaining surfaces of the implantable electrotherapy device, including the four sides 18 and top 20, may also be coated with a non-conductive, biocompatible material.
The portion 16 of the implantable electrotherapy device that remains uncoated will allow electric current from the device to enter the surrounding human tissue in a specific, localized fashion. In this manner, a predetermined current density may be delivered to a specific area in the body. Allowing this specificity for the delivery of the electrical current will improve the performance of the implantable electrotherapy device for stimulating heart response. In addition, the implantable electrotherapy device 10 will operate more precisely for a longer period of time because less energy will be used.
The size of the exposed area 16 is proportional to the current density that passes therethrough. Thus, one aspect of the present invention provides a coating 14 that can be removed from the device by a physician or technician in order to custom-fit the size of the exposed area to the application.
Referring now to
The foregoing detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention has been provided for the purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise embodiments disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to practitioners skilled in this art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application, thereby enabling others skilled in the art to understand the invention for various embodiments and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. It is intended that the scope of the invention be defined by the following claims and their equivalents.

Live easy, Live simply
Two years ago, one of the most amazing men in the world stepped out on Kirkwood Mountain in California to compete in the 2011 Freeride World Tour. Ryan Hawks is a name to know with values to live by. His values in life are vital guidelines, in which he followed without command from anyone but himself.
Live every day, all day; Never stop exploring life; Never lose my adventuresome attitude; Be the best friend I can be; Be the best brother, son, uncle I can be; Look out for others; Look out for myself; Look out for my surroundings; Be self-sufficient; Don't be afraid to ask for help; Work hard; Live easy; Live simply.
Ryan Hawks exemplified passion, motivation, commitment, and excellence in all realms of his life. He devoted this to family, friends, and his love for the sport of skiing. Ryan left this world accomplishing another feat in the sport he loves (see story). His presence will continue to be grieved, but his story has something magnificent to share to the world. Whether you are an athlete, a musician, a teacher, business woman or man, designer, artist, humanitarian, foody, or lost on who you are, where you are going, and what drives you, Ryan's values are a stellar guidebook to serve some solid direction and awareness of your own values.
In sport and health psychology, the objective is to guide individuals on their journey toward health, happiness, and self-awareness by achieving goals, conquering challenges and fears. "Get rid of the idea of conquering the mountain, concentrate on cooperating with the mountain- Understand that the only person you have to impress is you." Peter Hawks, Ryan's father. As we set goals, train, work, educate, and aim to please its important to remember why we are doing it and what is the focus. Ryan had clear objectives. His values served as goals to conquer everyday in order to fulfill his life, his dreams, love and the happiness of those around him.
As we set goals we sometimes lose sight of our reason and therefore our self-awareness. For example, next time you go to the gym, check in with yourself, do you have something in mind that you will enjoy there (spin class, yoga, lifting, running?). Or are you going to cave to the dread of another workout and in fact, waste time waiting for the clock to move on the treadmill. Activity is meant to be fun and rewarding. When action is an indication of a process towards a larger outcome there is more purpose. For example, accomplishing the short-term goals brings us closer to the long term. The key to accomplishing our goals is setting specific and measurable short-term goals. For example in order to run a marathon one must accomplish a certain mileage everyday and add on every week. In order to master any skill practice is vital.
Action expresses priorities -Gandhi.
When we positively act on a goal, we become closer to our ideal. Sustaining our action is the hard part but with a list of values and things to do in this busy life, inspirations like Ryan Hawks remind us that it is possible.
Research shows giving creates happiness, and happiness contributes to a feeling of success. Service and justice is something we forget about in our relationships. Ryan lived his life to make others around him happy to be here. He lived now, always and everyday. Its easy to lose track of the present in the process of focusing on the future. Be here, now. It seems simple, yet the difficulty comes in our list of responsibilities. If we are able to clear five minutes of our time to check our Facebook than we are more than likely able to call a friend, tell people we care about them, and share a laugh now and then.
Ryan's mentality and ability to light up the world is inspiring. His values of living are motives in which individuals and teams aim to achieve for ultimate success. These values are core principles to remind us all that with passion, motivation, and commitment to others and ourselves we are capable of achieving satisfying life goals.

MMA News
Lyoto Machida Back Under UFC Contract With Signing Of New Deal
Unbeknownst to many, former UFC light-heavyweight champion, Lyoto Machida completed the last bout on his contract when he knocked out Mark Munoz in the first round of their recent fight.
I even have it on good authority that he toyed with free agency and took offers from other popular MMA promotions.
In a recent tweet sent out by his manager, Ed Soares, Machida opted to stay with the world's leading MMA promotion and as evidenced by the photo has signed a new deal with The Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Check it out:
It's a done deal!!! Thank you @lorenzofertitta @danawhite @ufc pic.twitter.com/9PK8gnZU3H

The fuck would he do elsewhere? It's funny that guys are talking so much about going elsewhere these days… It's just empty talk to try and get more money… It probably works though, congrats regardless.
Yeah it's a part of negotiations. Before I started my own business I would mention I already had offers the times I had a job interview. Sometimes it was true and sometimes I lied to give them the feeling they had to act quickly and offer me more to get me on board.
It's human to want what others want even employees. Kinda like when people break up because they basically hate eachother and when one of them moves on with someone else the other one gets jealous.
Glad to hear Machida is a business man. I'm sure Edd knows what Lyoto is worth to say the least. Lyoto would make a great champion for a different company and I'm sure would have a decent draw.

open to visitors right now, as there seems
to be a problem with bat droppings.
Beautiful scrapbook pages--you are so right about making the photos the center of attention--they really stand out on your pages.
I love the quote about coffee and mornings! Mine would go..."All the morning in the world will not make me a coffee person!"
Wishing you a very happy 2014!
Whoa, Dianne. I had NO idea you made scrapbooks. These pages are superb. I learn something new each time I visit.
I love the coffee cup. That saying is PERFECT, too. I've actually become a late night person, so what can I say, other than I'll drink it 24/7.
Again, love, love, love those pages, especially the one of the turtles.
You scrapbook too, what a nice surprise to find out. Love them all, especially since they are of my favorite season. I like the focus on the pictures too, so many simple pages in my albums also.
Love the cup and saying, so cute!
Have a HAPPY AND SAFE AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR!!
Lovely scrapbook pages. The photos really do speak for themselves. Looks like a wonderful trip!
Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year Dianne!
Your scrapbook is perfect! I usually keep all the collage stuff out of my scrapbooks too.
Your photos are breath taking, and yes I saw the turtles! LOL
Lovely scrapbook pages and such a nice way to capture special times!
Here's wishing you and yours a great new year Dianne...
Thank you for sharing your creativity and I look forward to more fun and T times with you in 2014!
Good thing you didn't go in the caves if there a smelly toxic bat poop problem--LOL! But the rest looks gorgeous! Of all the different things I've tried I've never gotten into scrapbooking. Maybe one day.
Happy T-Day and Happy New Year! :)
I'm late getting around to all the T stands for Tuesday posts. Your scrapbook looks great. I love the picture of the mug and the quote.
Darla (Happy New Year!)
Thank you for sharing these. It makes me want to walk around in nature again after months without! I always love the delicacy of your journal pages. Happy New Year!
There is nothing ugly; I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, – light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.
"Generally, I am opposed to painting which is concerned with conceptions of simplicity. Everything looks very busy to me." --Jasper Johns, 1959
"Colour is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with the strings. The artist is the hand which plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul."
--Wassily Kandinsky, 1866-1944
"As practice makes perfect, I cannot but make progress: each drawing one makes, each study one paints, is a step forward."
-Vincent Van Gogh

What a big amygdala you have
A new study published in Psychological Science shows that the size of various parts of the human brain correspond to personality traits. For instance, a high rate of extraversion corresponds with a bigger medial orbitofrontal cortex (the part of the brain just above and behind the eyes). In fact, four of the "big five" personality […] [Read More]
Fake flu fighter
The swine flu pandemic educated a lot of folks about the benefits of Tamiflu, the antiviral medicine that can limit the flu's punch if taken early enough, even in people who haven't had a flu shot. Flu season is a few months away. But the FDA issued a warning today that a product being sold […] [Read More]
Three wildly different cancer studies
These studies don't contradict each other. They complement one another in layers — providing a picture of research on the ground, stepping back to examine practical human resource issues, and soaring up to view politics-meets-health care at 40,000 feet. Starting at sky level: In a cautionary tale, a UC Davis study found that use of […] [Read More]
Are you SURE you're asleep?
One of the more bizarre papers to emerge from the big sleep science meeting in San Antonio this week had to do with the fact that sexsomnia is more common than people thought. Never heard of sexsomnia, you say? Well, it's an official condition, related to sleepwalking. But instead of walking, its sufferers have sex […] [Read More]
Early to bed, Baby
Now there's data to support the "healthy" and "wise" parts of the old Ben Franklin adage, and getting those down certainly can help someone whose goal is the "wealthy" part. Or whose goal is anything at all. A large new study supports early, regular bedtimes for small children. The data from an early childhood longitudinal […] [Read More]
Two interesting studies for parents
Companies that market unhealthy food to children are finding more engaging ways to do so — building "advergames" for websites like Cartoon Network's. A UC Davis public health study of the content of such sites found branding messages were 45 times more prevalent than nutritional messages. No surprise there — these people are in the […] [Read More]
Survival: nurturing up there with fight/flight
An interesting study of stressed-out little girls showed they took much comfort from some mom contact. The study by researchers at the University of Madison-Wisconsin stressed out a group of 7- to 10-year-old girls by having them perform math problems and speeches in front of a panel of strangers, pumping up their cortisol levels. Mom's […] [Read More]
Get out of that ICU bed and move!
It turns out that exercise is good for you no matter how sick you are. And maybe good for the country. The small study was of 57 intensive care unit patients at Johns Hopkins Hospital who had been on mechanical ventilators for four days. Those who worked with physical therapists, even doing very small exercises […] [Read More]
Unintended consequence alert for the obese
Rewarding doctors for having healthier patients skews economic incentives away from piling on the procedures and toward good healthy outcomes — so the logic goes. But one group is warning that the way they're set up, "pay-for-performance" reimbursement formulas in Medicare and Medicaid may encourage discrimination against obese people, since those patients have a significantly […] [Read More]
The miracle cure: common sense
It's a good day for nutrition/lifestyle studies. If you smoke, don't eat your veggies, drink too much, and call it exercise when you lean over to grab the remote, you're physically about 12 years older than your chronological age, and you're likely to die much sooner, according to a study published in the Archives of […] [Read More]

My understanding is that setjmp saves processor registers in a jmpbuf, and that longjmp restores them. Neither sounds exactly high-overhead, certainly less than a chain of function returns.

The Department of Languages and Literatures authorizes make-up examinations only for documented reasons involving personal medical or family emergencies or due to participation in College team sports or legitimate academic events (e.g., Model United Nations, scholarly conferences). If such documentation is provided, it is up to the instructor's discretion to grant a make-up exam or to excuse the student from taking the exam without penalty. If a make-up exam is approved by the instructor, its content may significantly differ in format from the scheduled exam. If the student's performance in the course up to the date of the missed exam makes it impossible to pass the course, even if taking a make-up and scoring 100%, no make-up or special arrangements will be offered.
The Department considers make-up exams a privilege, not a right.

Offensive output of Sue Bird key to Storm's turnaround
A week and a half ago, I wrote that the Seattle Storm's best chance at turning around their lackadaisical start to the 2012 season would come with the return of star center Lauren Jackson in August, after the completion of the London Olympics.

There may be a bit of a glut of Flamenco dancers, singers and guitarists in NYC and environs nowadays, and tourists can get a skirt steak and soléa in more than a few Manhattan spots. But if you wanna get a look at the real deal "Flamenca pura," you will not be disappointed if you head out to Theater 80 on St. Mark's Place for a performance by Noche Flamenca. The group has started a six-week run at the venue and it's a perfect spot for them, so intimate you can see the sweat beads on the dancers' foreheads.
If you're a fan of Flamenco or if you've ever wanted to get an introduction to the art form, I highly recommend them. You can hear some more about Noche Flamenca on the WBGO Journal tonight. Here's a clip from a dress rehearsal last week. Dig. - Cruz
Best Album Covers
July 18, 2008. Posted by Angelika Beener.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
OK, I just had this crazy idea. I'm sure it's not a first, but I never thought about doing this until today. I was thinking to paint a mural on a wall in my apartment using my favorite album cover as inspiration. But I have too many favorite covers, which then got me to thinking about all the dope album covers there are - not just in jazz, but in all of music. So I thought I'd share just a slight few of my favorite album covers of all time - in no particular order. If you have some favorites, share them with me. I'd love to know what your mural would look like.
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Thelonious Monk - Underground
John Coltrane - Coltrane
The Beatles - St. Pepper's Lonely...

When I moved into my present home there was no breaker chart that described which breaker fed what. Don't have a tracer so I spent a couple hours using the kids (then age 10 and 12) as runners and we mapped out all the circuits. I then created a template in MS Excel of my 40 circuit panel and made a nice chart which now hangs inside the door. If I ever make a circuit change in the future it will be easy to revise the chart and post a new one.
No announcement yet.

"When we build let us think we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor for present use alone. Let it be such work that our descendants will thank us for, and let us think, as we lay stone upon stone, that a time is to come when these stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, "See! This our fathers did for us."

more wiring idiocy
Here's another couple for the "what were they thinking list":
When we bought our current house it had a mobile on the property. The main house is fed into a 200A panel; a 100A subfeed goes to a panel in the garage; and from there another 100A subfeed went to the mobile. Plus the previous owner had a couple of 40A circuits in the garage for his welder and compressor and who knows what else. Bad enough, but when someone ran the wires to the mobile they used two nice fat 6AWG? wires off the hot feeds but instead of a third wire of the same size for the neutral what did they use: a 12/2 romex cable with the three wires (black/white/bare) twisted together at each end. When I openned up the subpanel about 3 inches of the romex wire to the mobile was charred. Thankfully the mobile was long gone before I found that.
Another gem: I went to add an outlet to master bathroom as there wasn't one anywhere near the sink. Thought I'd tap into the line feeding the light above the vanity. So I open up the switch box and light box, and hmmm, where the heck is the white wire?? Seems some genius had used the bare ground as the neutral wire to the light. After several days of crawling around in the attic and cursing I finally figured out what they did and got everything rewired properly.

Biometric screenings refer to important health screenings. Knowing these numbers is important to knowing your health status and can be a great starting point for setting a health goal. Biometric screenings may include blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, cholesterol or glucose.
Can I receive my biometric screenings at a campus event?
At this time, no biometric health screening events are scheduled.
What is involved?
A nurse from the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Live Well Work Well Team will measure your height and weight to calculate your Body Mass Index.

What happens as a result of the screening?
You will have a baseline of results to which future measurements can be compared. You may want to share your results with your Health Coach or discuss your results further with your primary care provider if the measurements fall outside of the recommended guidelines.

WeatherTrigger API
The WeatherTrigger API allows users to retrieve weather information for the last 7 days, the current weather, or the 7-day forecast. Users can query data for locations around the world by their geographic coordinates or zip code. Up to three queries can be included in a single API call.
The WeatherTrigger API is both innovative and unique. There is no other API that offers the ability to query the depth of weather data elements (past, current, future) across global locations for a simple yes/no response. Allowing multiple queries within a single request further differentiates the API. Simplicity is its strength, and with an easy to use 'Request Builder' it's very quick to get started.
