The Volcano and the Studebaker – where's the missing link?
Ken Spencer's Ford Volcano. Image courtesy Henry Ford Museum
While researching Ford designer Ken Spencer a few weeks ago, I noticed something peculiar: The roofline on his vastly underappreciated Volcano concept from 1949 closely resembled the roofline on the Studebaker Starliner hardtop and Starlight coupe, which debuted in 1953 and essentially remained in production (under different names, of course) over the next decade. Could there be a connection?
As previously noted, the Volcano was prescient in a number of ways. Two-tone paint was relatively uncommon at that time, and compound wraparound windshields wouldn't come into vogue for another five or six years. Plus, as the Farrells note, the 1956 Lincoln's long, low streamlined look came directly from the Volcano. There's one other significant element to the Volcano, though – the constant-width reverse-angle C-pillar that necessitated a wraparound backlite and irregularly shaped quarter window.
Plenty has been written about the 1953 Studebaker Starliner/Starlight that put such a design into production. Michael Lamm, the former editor of Special Interest Autos, once called the Starliner "the best looking U.S. production car of the 1950s." Commonly attributed to Raymond Loewy, the Starliner/Starlight actually originated with sketches done by Bob Bourke, a designer in Loewy's employ. According to Bourke's account of the Starliner/Starlight design process, as related in Automobile Quarterly Volume 10, Number 3 (1972), Bourke and four other designers under Loewy were given free rein in 1951 to come up with new body shapes and designs and then directed to turn those designs into quarter-scale models. In a later interview with the Automotive Design Oral History Project in 1985, Bourke elaborated on that process a little, but said there were only three other designers involved in that process: Holden "Bob" Koto, Don Bruce and Vince Gardner. Loewy selected Bourke's and Koto's designs to advance to full-sized clay shapes, both rendered on the two halves of the same full-size clay model. Studebaker executives ultimately chose Bourke's side of the clay model to turn into the production car, but in all his reminiscing about the process and about how certain aspects of the 1953 Studebaker design came to be, Bourke never once discussed how the distinctive C-pillar originated.

If we were to assume that the C-pillar did originate with Spencer's Volcano, then how exactly did it migrate from Gil Spear's Advanced Studio at Ford to Loewy's studio concentrating on Studebaker designs? Automotive historians might point out that Bourke and Koto were instrumental in the design of the 1949 Ford, but that happened without the two ever setting foot in Dearborn; Bourke and Koto instead assisted designer Richard Caleal with a clay model for the 1949 Ford on Caleal's kitchen table in South Bend in 1946. Otherwise, none of the four (or is that five?) Starliner/Starlight quarter-scale group appeared to have had any experience with Ford during that general period.
However, according to Robert Andrews, another Studebaker designer from that era who was also interviewed for the Automotive Design Oral History Project, there were others involved in the Starliner/Starlight design process, including Ted Brennan, Ed Herman, and John Cuccio. Up to the point the 1953 Studebakers were designed, none of those three appear to have had any direct involvement with Ford either, but Cuccio may still be the missing link here. Like Spencer, Cuccio was a World War II veteran who attended the Pratt Institute; in fact, according to the Farrells, Cuccio got hired on with Loewy after the war through a friend from Pratt who was already working for Loewy, indicating that Cuccio knew how to work his contacts.
As it turned out, Cuccio and Koto ended up working full-time at Ford, but their Dearborn days didn't start until a couple of years after the Starliner/Starlight went into production.
Could Cuccio have been acquainted with Spencer? Could that acquaintance be the path of migration for that C-pillar? If so, is that why Bourke never seemed to discuss that particular design element in what many consider his greatest success? Or are we just drawing connections that aren't there?

Out for Good
The view from under South Hill, as interpreted by Luca
Tagged as "fall splash 2011"
Friday, October 14, 2011
It's finally here - the 10th Anniversary of the LGBT Center and Fall Splash/LGBT and Allied Alumni Reunion is taking place right now! Please join us as we celebrate all LGBT and Allied alumni, and the ten years of the campus LGBT Center. You can browse a complete schedule of LGBTA-themed events, and learn a bit more about the LGBT Center and our four LGBT-themed student organizations, or access the complete schedule of all Fall Splash/Alumni Weekend events.
Our kick off event with alumna Janet Green in commemoration of National Coming Out Day took place last night, and there are five additional events that will take place from now throughout the weekend.
Celebrate along with us, either on campus or from afar, by sending some festive LGBTA-themed e-postcards, viewing or listening to our incredibly talented students who have created LGBTA-themed videos and music, or connecting with us via Facebook.
This will be a great opportunity for current students to meet and network with LGBT and allied alumni, and for alumni to learn more about the center and its work, our award-winning status as one of the most welcoming campuses for LGBT students in the nation, and our current LGBTA-themed student organizations and other offerings and accomplishments.
If you're an alumnus, things may have changed a bit since you were here as a student. I have heard from alumni spanning decades, and the experiences and campus environment for LGBTA students has varied over the years. The LGBT Center is but a small part of the long and very rich history of LGBT and allied students at Ithaca College. With the help of some wonderful folks at the Library and the Ithacan, we have been able to find references to an LGBT-themed student group on campus consistently all the way back to 1979. (It's the student organization currently called Prism, but it has had several names over the years including Gala and BiGayLa, among others). And just a few weeks ago, a researcher in our college Office of Institutional Advancement contacted me when she discovered a document from 1971 that detailed a meeting of 11 students who were interested in establishing an IC chapter of the Gay Liberation Front. These are all vital, but sometimes lost (or temporarily lost) pieces of history, and the LGBT Center wants to collect them so our current students can have a sense of this important history and the role of LGBT and allied students throughout the years.
I invite you to share your recollections and experiences of all things LGBT and Allied during your time as a student at IC. If you're joining us in person, there will be several ways for you to share your stories throughout the weekend. If you can't be with us this week, I invite you to share your stories right here using the comments function. And whether you visit IC this week or not, consider creating a short video and sharing it - upload it to YouTube and share the link via the comments section on this post.
Some suggested questions to consider might be:
- How did your time at IC contribute to the person you are today?
- Tell a story about your time at IC through the lens of LGBTA work/identity/community/climate. This might be something specific about a student organization, class, professor, or initiative.
- Share a fond reflection of IC
- If you were magically transported back, what one thing would you love to do or experience again at IC?
LGBT and Allied Alumni Reunion and the tenth anniversary of the LGBT Center....It's always been inside of you, you, you. And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough. Connect with us in person or online, and be a part of our future.
Tuesday, April 26, 2011
The celebration of the 10th anniversary of the IC LGBT Center will take place during Fall Splash/Alumni Weekend 2011 in October - be sure to save the date - October 14 - 16, 2011! For all the latest news, be sure to "like" the new Ithaca College LGBT and Allied Alumni Facebook page. To get in a festive frame of mind, check out this video made by current first-year student Ben R., with music generously provided by Ithacappella and Premium Blend:

Dead whale buried in sand at Oregon Coast
FLORENCE, Ore. (AP) - State officials say a fin whale has been buried at the same beach where it washed ashore during the weekend.
The Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation says Florence-based Leisure Excavating buried the 30-ton carcass in a hole 11-feet deep Monday. The corpse will decompose naturally.
The burial occurred after biologists examined the remains to determine a cause of death. Their findings have not been released.
Heceta Head State Scenic Viewpoint will reopen Tuesday.

Blaine Boyer can be a free agent on Opening Day
Adam Rubin of ESPN New York learned that Blaine Boyer can opt out of his contract next Thursday and become a free agent on Opening Day. It had been assumed Boyer could still be sent to the minor leagues.
Boyer has allowed 1 run in 8 innings this spring, while striking out 7 and walking 2.
As such, Rubin now believes Boyer and Pedro Beato are most likely to join Francisco Rodriguez, Bobby Parnell, D.J. Carrasco, Tim Byrdak and Taylor Buchholz in the team's Opening Day bullpen… meaning Jason Isringhausen heads home, and both Manny Acosta and Pat Misch would need to pass through waivers.
This is going to be a tough call. Yes, Boyer has looked good this spring, as he has not walked many batters. But, we're talking about just 8 innings in Spring Training against weaker competition. What's more, he's 29 years old, and though he had a pretty good year in 2009, the Mets will be his fourth team in 6 seasons.
This is not to belittle or dismiss his impressive spring and potential for 2011, but I'm trying to keep this March in the context of his 10-year career – all of which needs to be weighed against Isrignhausen's clicky elbow, and the risk's associated with exposing Misch and Acosta to waivers.
I don't know what the right move should be.

Clinical Psychology PhD San Diego
A Scholar-Practioner Model
Many programs in clinical psychology have committed themselves to either research or practice. The research-heavy programs are dedicated to the training of future academics who intend to spend the majority of their time in the pursuit of grant funding. The practice-heavy programs are sometimes fairly criticized as neglecting the science base of the profession. We have developed a truly integrated scholar-practitioner model. In their clinical training, students learn from highly regarded and experienced professionals who are able to teach the "how to" of the most empirically supported psychotherapy and assessment techniques. Students also join research groups working closely with established applied researchers who collaborate with them in a supportive and exciting environment. As they progress through the program, students are able to choose a mentor in an area of interest to them. Well known research experts on the faculty run research groups on topics such as traumatic stress, mind-body disorders, biofeedback, autism, neuropsychological and personality assessment, schizophrenia, pediatric psychology, mindfulness and acceptance based therapies, neuroimaging, and multicultural psychology.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a good match for the CSPP San Diego PhD program? The admissions committee of the CSPP San Diego PhD program looks for students who have a strong academic background, evidence of interest in a future career in clinical psychology, and a belief that rigorous research training can provide one foundation of effective clinical work.
What is the difference between the PhD and PsyD training? While both programs provide excellent clinical training, the PhD program provides skills that will allow the graduate to integrate other activities (such as clinical research, program evaluation, teaching) into their repertoire. Our students have chosen careers such as tenured teaching positions, program evaluators, research coordinators, directors of clinical centers, often in addition to private practices.
How are statistics and research design training handled in the program? In our program research foundations are covered by four courses. Each is taught by a core faculty member who has developed a successful method of conveying the material. Students rate these courses positively.
What the class sizes? Class sizes range from six to 15 depending on whether the topic is foundational or advanced.
How involved are the core faculty in direct teaching of the foundational courses? The majority of foundational courses are taught by core faculty to ensure that students get consistently superior basic knowledge necessary for success in the field.
What are some typical dissertations?
- The Effects of Heart-Rate Variability Biofeedback on Breast Cancer Patients (Stages I, II, III) Undergoing Chemotherapy Treatment
- The Generalization of Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback Videogame Training and Physiological Arousal in Response to Psychological Stress
- The Utility of Oral Reading In Assessment of Premorbid Neuropsychological Functioning in Hispanics
- Comparing the Effects of Total Sleep Deprivation on fMRI Brain Functioning and Behavioral Performance in Older and Younger Adults during a GO-NOGO Task
- Development and psychometrics of the Dissociation Continuum Scale II
- Dissociation, fantasy proneness, and suggestibility in participants with varying levels of trauma exposure
Will I be able to present and publish my work? Students are mentored in writing for peer reviewed journals and presenting at conferences. Our objective is to see each and every student in our program submit a paper for publication before graduating from the program and have at least two conference presentations or posters during their graduate career.
The CSPP San Diego Clinical Psychology PhD program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association (APA), which requires that we provide data on time to completion, program costs, internships, attrition and licensure.

Reviewed By: A customer from Missoula on 10/17/12
This light is very bright, attaches easily to your bicycle and seems awesome out of the box ... you might even be inclined to buy one for a friend ... don't be fooled. Soon after your purchase, your light will begin to rapidly drain its batteries (we're talking in a couple of days. Literally.) and will unwaveringly fail you in any bumpy conditions. Due to the shoddy assembly, any minor bump you hit will cause the batteries to disengage from the LEDs, and your light will turn off. So you know when you hit those icy pothole-covered roads at 10pm thinking your bright light will guide your way to safety? Think again. You will ride blindly into the night. When you try to turn the light back on it will immediately shut off. This light is awful. I thought it was so great when I first bought it that I bought two (one for my boyfriend). I have since sent one of them back to Princeton Tec, which they replaced, and now both the newly replaced, and other fairly new one (8 months?) are both electrical taped together and sitting in a box in my basement waiting to be steam punked or something. Oh, and you think maybe this one is still a good idea because of the blinking red light on the sides? Don't worry, that light will stop blinking on the traffic side about two weeks after you install this light on your handlebars. I replaced both lights with the Princeton Tec EOS (sold here as well) which is cheaper, better, brighter, and waterproof and way way better.

Rules for "do" or "make" followed by a noun
Any regular rule applicable for those words "make" and "do" while using with some nouns?
- make war
- do the homework
- make a new plan
- doing my own business
Any rule ladies and gentlemen, or just memorize every case one by one?

How about "make do"?

True that in English 'make' and 'do' aren't really synonyms, though it's interesting to note that this doesn't apply to French and Spanish (and probably the rest of the Romance languages).
faire de la guerre = make war
faire des devoirs = do homework
Perhaps it's worth investigating how English came to have this distinction?

Thank you Steve,
Your explanation is pretty satisfactory to apply on new cases.
0 vote • Permalink • Report Abuse
Not a rule so much as understanding the meanings of the verbs "to make" and "to do," which are not at all synonymous.
The former means to create, while the latter means to perform or accomplish. If we substitute those words in your examples, we have:
create war
perform homework
create a plan
perform my business

The field configurable AP4390 series dual channel isolators offer wide ranging input and output capability for scaling and transmitting analog DC signals. The AP4390 series will accept input voltage spans from 10mV up to 100 volts, as well as input current spans from 1mA to 100mA. For a full scale output range, the input zero and span potentiometers enable 50% input zero and span adjustability. For example, the 0-10V input range can be elevated to 5-10V or compressed to 0-5V.
The AP4390 series offers 6 popular ouput ranges which are either positive voltages and currents (e.g. 0-5V, 0-10V, 0-1mA and 4-20mA) or bipolar voltages (-5 to 5V and -10 to 10V). The model number defines the ouput channel ranges as shown in Table 1.
The 4-20mA compliance is a powerful 20VDC per channel. All models in the AP4390 series accept bipolar inputs and each I/O channel offers selectable normal or reverse acting operation (e.g. 4-20mA or 20-4mA).
Each Action Pak in the AP4390 series is a dual, three-port, industrial isolator -- both output channels are optically isolated from their respective input channels up to 1500 VDC. The two ASIC-based I/O channels are independently transformer isolated from the selectable 120/240VAC power supply
The Action Pak AP4390 series of field configurable isolators is useful in eliminating ground loops, converting signal levels and providing signal drive. The AP4390 series' dual channel design conserves installation space in high density applications and offers superior cost-benefit value over single channel isolators. The wide ranging capability of the AP4390s provides universal spare part coverage.
The AP4390 series is equipped with dual function LED signal monitors. The green, top-mounted LED indicates line power and input signal status. Active line power is indicated by an illuminated LED. If the input signal is 10% above the full scale range, the LED will flash at 8Hz. Below 0%, the flash rate is 4Hz.
Each channel of the AP4390 series can be independently set for a wide variety of input and output ranges.

Ordering Information
The factory presets all inputs for 4-20mA. The preset for positive based output channels is 4-20mA and -10 to 10VDC for bipolar voltage output channels (as shown in Table 1). The supply power is configured for 120 VAC operation. For other I/O ranges, remove the four base screws and case to access the I/O cards.
Replace the cover before applying power.
1. Position input jumper "W1" for Current (I) or Voltage (V) input.
2. Set position 5 of the Input Range Selector for Unipolar or Bipolarinput operation.
Note: A bipolar range selection will double any range from Table 2 (e.g, 10V span = ±10V bipolar span)
3. Set position 6 of the Input Range Selector for Normal or Reverse operation. Reverse acting produces a decreasing output with an increasing input.4. Using Table 2, configure positions 1 through 4 of the Input Range Selector for the desired maximum input. Round the desired maximum input value to the next highest range (e.g., 0-70V = 100V range).
WARNING: Do not change switch settings with power applied. Severe damage will result.
1. For the AP4390 channels A and B, and the AP4391 channel B, use Table 3 to configure the output selector switches for one of the four(4) standard output ranges.
2. For the AP4392 channels A and B, and the AP4391 channel B, position output jumper "W2" for -5 to 5V or -10 to 10V.
1. Configure the AC jumpers for either 120 or 240 VAC operation.
1. Connect the input to a calibrated DC voltage or current source and apply power. Wait 1 hour forthermal stability before monitoring the voltage/current output.2. Set the calibrator to the desired minimum input and adjust the Zero potentiometer for the desired minimum output.3. Set the calibrator to the desired maximum input and adjust the Span potentiometer for the desired maximum output.4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for best accuracy.

I was disappointed that after the terrific build up, we never got to actually see the tremendous, eponymous crack. Are you holding back on us, your devoted readers and fans? Do you fear we can't handle it? Show me the crack!
i remember this guy and this whole incident well, laughing at your wobbly round dining room/kitchen table, over red wine and ceasar salad, dubbing him "dr. buttcrack."
i'm sitting here at work, reading this, trying not to guffaw out loud…
riveting…i was on the edge of my seat!!!
Hmmm you are too kind to leave out the HemRoyhoid part. And for all you fans who have not met the fantastic artiste in person–she has a gorgeous smile–false teeth or no.
it could be worse. you could've stayed with the butt crack.

Dr. Maral Skelsey's Ratings
Dr. Skelsey removed a BCC from my cheek. It was so gently and beautifully done that even I can't tell there was anything there. It healed with no scar whatever. She is truly gifted. I have seldom been cared for so well.

Dr. Skelsey performed Mohs surgery on my elderly mother and I was very impressed with her practice. The office decor is bright, cheerful, and (for a medical facility) elegant. Dr. Skelsey's staff couldn't have been more kind and helpful. Mohs surgery involves a good deal of passing time in the lobby waiting for results so surroundings and amenities to pass the time are important. Ample magazines of all types were available and the staff regularly checked in with updates and offered cookies and juice. The surgical suite, too, was bright, clean, and spacious. The surgical team also was most kind.

Great practice. Mohs surgery is complicated and time-consuming and the waits can be longer than ideal, but it's worth it!

Very good care, surgery leaves very, little if any, scaring. Very little pain. Highly reccommended.

Visited for full body screen and precancer on face. She's the typical Doc that's too busy to be thorough (she missed a visible precancer)& uses scare tactics to try to push patients into biopsies. Why not try non-surgical options before permanently scarring someones face? Educate yourself & research ALL options before letting doctors cut into you. Remember, you will have to live with any 'mistakes', not the doctor. The waiting area is way too bright(color & lighting). Do you really want to be on display if you have skin cancer or undergoing unsightly therapy on your face? Do you realize, you will be placed in the waiting room during your Mohs surgery? Also, some of the nursing staff lack basic knowledge on common prescribed meds (e.g. Solaraze). Remember, doctors are in the BUSINESS of selling health. And the skin cancer BUSINESS is very profitable. Caveat emptor.

Dr. Skelsey was prompt in doing the surgery. She was pleasant and called me after the surgery to determine how I was doing and whether I had any questions or concerns. I just had the most recent surgery on this Tuesday but a previous surgery was very successful.

In a joint statement issued as a press releaseon April 19, Senators Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) stated that "The least of our worries is a criminal trial" and that "Under the Law of War we can hold this suspect [Dzhokhar Tsarnaev] as a potential enemy combatant not entitled to Miranda warnings or the appointment of counsel."
A second press release issued the following day by Graham's office in the names of Senators Graham, McCain, and Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), and Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) pursued the same theme, stating, in part:
• "The accused perpetrators of these acts were not common criminals attempting to profit from a criminal enterprise, but terrorists trying to injure, maim, and kill innocent Americans."
• "The suspect, based upon his actions, clearly is a good candidate for enemy combatant status. We do not want this suspect to remain silent."
• "A decision to not read Miranda rights to the suspect was sound and in our national security interests."
• "The public safety exception is a domestic criminal law doctrine that allows questioning of a criminal suspect without Miranda warnings for a limited time and purpose."
• "We hope the Obama Administration will consider the enemy combatant option because it is allowed by national security statutes and U.S. Supreme Court decisions."
• "American citizens who take up arms against our nation or collaborate with our enemies have been held as enemy combatants. This is well-established principle of American jurisprudence and authorized by congressional statute."
• "An enemy combatant held under the Law of War is not entitled to Miranda rights or appointment of counsel.
• "We will stand behind the Administration if they decide to hold this suspect as an enemy combatant."
"I strongly disagree with the Obama administration's decision to rule out the enemy combatant status for the suspect at this time. I believe such a decision is premature. It is impossible for us to gather the evidence in just a few days to determine whether or not this individual should be held for questioning under the law of war," Graham told reporters April 22 during a press conference at the Capitol.

What locative media can learn from archaeology
One thing at a time, here's the draft version of a paper Matt Ward and I recently wrote for a Leonardo Electronic Almanac special issue on locative media. Comments are welcome.
Locative Media as Socialising and Spatialising Practices: Learning from Archaeology (pdf)
Abstract. Pervasive computing and locative media are emerging as technologies and processes that promise to reconfigure our understandings and experiences of space and culture. With the critical hand of material and cultural studies, we start to shape questions about locative media representations of urban mobilities, and begin to unearth some of the struggles and tensions that exist within these fields of operation. By looking at archaeology's constitutive processes of collection, ordering and display we highlight some of the problems found in mapping people and objects in space and time, and ask what kinds of social/spatial relations are made possible in particular locative media projects. Ultimately, we take archaeology's critical focus on authorship and ownership, explain its relevance to locative media, and suggest questions to consider in the future research and design of locative media.

Gangrene is a dangerous and potentially fatal condition that happens when the blood flow to a large group of tissues is cut off. This causes them to rot and die. Although gangrene often turns the affected skin a greenish-black, the word gangrene is not related to green, but rather to the condition itself. It comes from Greek and Latin words for a gnawing sore or decayed tissue.
Gangrene happens when blood supply to certain tissues is stopped by an infection, an injury such as a burn or combat wound, or a chronic disease. Chronic diseases that harm the circulatory system include diabetes, peripheral artery disease, and Raynaud's disease. These can often lead to gangrene. Traumatic injuries like burns or an infected dog bite may also stop blood flow. Severe cases of frostbite can also lead to gangrene. Frostbite is a condition in which the skin freezes.
Symptoms of gangrene depend on its location and cause. Dry gangrene usually starts with a red line around the affected area. This area then turns black.
These are other symptoms of gangrene:
Coldness and numbness in the affected area
Pain in or beyond the affected area
Redness and swelling around a wound
Sores that keep cropping up in the same place
Persistent, unexplained fever (temperature higher than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius)
A foul-smelling wound
Striking discoloration of the skin, with shades of greenish-black, blue, red, or bronze
Pus or discharge from a wound
Blisters and a crackling sound under the skin
Confusion, pain, fever, and low blood pressure, especially if the gangrene is internal
The earlier gangrene is treated, the more successful the treatment is likely to be. So if you have any of the above symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
If you have symptoms of gangrene, your medical team will perform a physical exam to check for signs of tissue death. They may also ask you about any chronic health conditions you have that could be related to the gangrene.
Your doctor may also want to do lab tests to check for gangrene. A higher than normal amount of white blood cells, for example, can mean you have an infection. Your doctor may take samples of tissue or fluid from the affected area and looked at in the lab. If your doctor suspects internal gangrene, he or she may order imaging tests or surgery to find out for sure.
Treatment of gangrene will usually consist of one or more of these procedures:
Antibiotics. These medications can be used to kill bacteria in the affected area.
Surgery to remove the dead tissue. This is called debridement. It can help keep the gangrene from spreading to healthy tissues nearby. In cases where the gangrene is widespread, a finger, toe, or even a limb may need to be amputated.
Maggot debridement. This is a nonsurgical alternative to traditional debridement. During this procedure, clean fly larvae are placed on the affected area to eat away dead tissue and remove bacteria. This is a painless procedure.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy. During this procedure, you are placed in a special pressurized chamber that administers oxygen at high pressures, forcing more oxygen into the affected area. This can speed healing and help kill bacteria. This treatment is especially effective in people who develop gangrene from diabetic foot ulcers.
Vascular surgery. If your gangrene is caused by poor blood flow, your doctor may recommend surgery to improve circulation. People whose gangrene is a result of a blocked artery, for example, may have bypass surgery or an angioplasty to fix the problem.
Gangrene is a medical emergency. The outlook with gangrene depends on the location and size of the affected area, as well as any other medical conditions you might have. Gangrene is often life-threatening, so immediate medical attention is crucial.

Insect Bites and Stings
- Home
- Health Info
- Insect Bites and Stings
- Biting insects (such as mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks)
- Stinging insects (such as bees, yellow jackets, hornets, wasps, and fire ants)
|Mosquito Bite
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk Factors
- Work or spend a lot of time outdoors
- Live in warmer climates
- Fail to use proper protection
- Forget to use flea and tick preventive measures for pets
- Collect insects as a hobby
- Mild swelling
- Redness
- Pain
- Heat
- Itching
- Shortness of breath
- Wheezing
- Swelling, redness, or hives covering most of your body
- A feeling that your throat is closing up
- Nausea or vomiting
- Chills, muscle aches, or cramps
- Weakness
- Fever
- Abdominal pain
- Headache sweating
Home Care
- Wash the affected area with soap and water.
- Place an ice pack or cold compress on the affected area. Use the ice for about 15 minutes every few hours. Do not place the ice directly on the skins
To help relieve itching consider:
- Use calamine lotion
- Antihistamines
- Topical steroid cream, such as hydrocortisone
- To reduce swelling or pain, consider acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
- To remove a stinger—Use a sharp edge, such as a credit card. Gently scrape the edge over the site to push the stinger out.
To remove a tick—Use tweezers to grasp the tick by the head. Pull the tick gently but firmly up and away from the skin. Hold the tick just above the skin until it releases its bite.
- Ticks can carry infections like Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain Spotted fever . The sooner you remove the tick the smaller the chance of infection.
- Note: if the tick's mouth breaks off in the skin, it can be left there. It does not pose an infection risk. The mouth will be pushed out during normal skin growth.
Medical Attention
- Emergency treatment to stabilize life-threatening symptoms
- Medications to reduce swelling and other allergic reactions
- IV fluids
- Use insect repellents. These work against biting insects such as mosquitoes.
- Reduce the amount of exposed skin. Wear long sleeve shirts and pants when possible.
- Avoid sweet-smelling perfumes, deodorants, lotions, hair sprays, and colognes.
- Avoid wearing bright colors.
- Wear gloves when gardening.
- Stay inside at dawn and dusk. Mosquitoes are most active during these times.
- Stay away from areas where mosquitoes breed, such as areas around still water.
- Use caution around areas where insects nest. Areas include walls, bushes, trees, and open garbage cans.
- Be cautious in areas where spiders might be hiding. Areas include undisturbed piles of wood, seldom-opened containers, or corners behind furniture.
- Do not disturb bee or wasp nests.
- Keep foods covered as much as possible when eating outdoors.
- Cover outdoor garbage cans with tight-fitting lids.
- Remove any areas of still water from around your house. This may include turning over lids or pots around your yard that have collected rainwater.
- Use flea and tick control for pets. Regularly treat your home for fleas during warmer months.
- Treat fire ant mounds with insecticides.

Michael DeHaan has an excellent post entitled "How Open Source Is Your Open Source?". I dare say it is his best post despite getting in a few (Linux) distro biased comments. He proposes a set of community standards that determine the real health and openness of Open Source. In my opinion, a major problem with OSI at the moment is that it perpetuates (mainly indeliberately) that a mere license makes something Open Source. In my view, an Open Source license is really the first step in making software Open Source. Fundamentally, the license provides the "right to fork" in the event that the people running the "Open Source In License Only" ignore the community. However, forking is a pretty wasteful process. It does damage. In the best case scenario, most people vote with their feet. In a worst case, you end up with 2-3 insufficiently resourced projects. Forking is the evolutionary and revolutionary alternative to cooperation.
A lot of "new breed" open source companies and "old school" tech companies that are getting involved in Open Source structure a lot around maintaining control. This can be for many reasons, but a large reason is that Open Source is not, in itself, a business model. Software development does cost money and resources. Finding the right way to fund that is hard. Traditional thinking is that you chain off part of the "property" and charge admission. However, in that process you diminish some of the benefits of Open Source. You loose the synergies of cooperation. These are the golden goose of Wall Street. It is why, despite all of the failures, everyone is still looking for the next Multi-Billion dollar merger. We must question whether Software that is Open Source in License Only, with the same distribution and cooperation characteristics (*1) as proprietary software, actually realizes many of the benefits of Open Source until someone forks it. Is that really Open Source or just Potential Open Source? I guarantee this isn't what your Open Source vendor's marketing department told you.
Michael's post proposes standards that can be summarized and categorized (with annotations and examples at the bottom) as:
project health
Or as Michael Summarizes, "Bottom line conclusion: strive to be Open in everything you do".
So what do you think? Should OSI develop standards beyond the current license-centric set of standards known as the "Open Source Definition"?
In my opinion, a major problem with OSI at the moment is that it perpetuates (mainly indeliberately) that a mere license makes something Open Source.Am I not being obvious enough that I think that Open Source is about Community and not licenses?

The bison, North America's largest mammal, provides one of the last evolutionary links to the Pleistocene era, a period (1.8 million to 11,550 years ago) when huge mammals dominated the landscape. Just two centuries ago, between 30 and 60 million bison roamed the continent's grassy, shrubby plains and prairies, and their range extended from Mexico to central Canada. In the late nineteenth century, sport-hunting and mass slaughters of this mammal brought the species to the brink of extinction. In 1906, only about 1,000 bison, wild and captive, remained in North America.
Since then—with much thanks to strong conservation efforts that mobilized in the early 1900s—the continent's bison population was able to grow to about 450,000. But fewer than 20,000 of these animals range freely and many contain genes from cattle or other bison subspecies. The vast majority of today's bison are raised as domestic livestock. When wild bison numbered in the millions, and large herds migrated across the open grasslands, their ability to travel freely across vast expanses also meant they grazed across the region, coexisting with prairie dogs, ferrets, burrowing owls, and other grassland animals. These iconic American herbivores shaped the vegetation and landscape as they fed on and dispersed the seeds of grasses, sedges, and forbs. Several bird species adapted to or co-evolved with types of
grasses and vegetation structures that had been, for millennia, grazed
by millions of free-ranging bison.
With further understanding of this giant mammal and through collaborative efforts to restore wild bison on private and public land, bison, native grasses, songbirds and other prairie species may thrive together once again.
Over 90 percent of bison today are under private ownership, raised like cows for bison meat. In fact at the turn of last century, ranchers often interbred bison with cattle to improve their cattle herds. As a result, cattle genes are now present in many bison populations, and few genetically pure bison herds remain. Current policies and a tradition of fencing ranches—as well as issues that include disease and competition for grazing land—discourage free-ranging bison herds in the West. Besides visitors to Yellowstone, the public mostly views bison behind fences rather than as free-ranging, native wildlife. This perceived domestication fosters confusion about the need and opportunity to conserve this wild species.
Bison confined by fences can no longer extensively interact with other species or influence the composition of their habitats by contributing to grassland nutrient cycling regimes and impacting plant communities. While we may not regain the 30 to 60 million bison that roamed this continent only 200 years ago, we can save this species and the ecosystems of which it was a part.
Pioneering conservationists Theodore Roosevelt and William Hornaday originally founded the American Bison Society (ABS) at the Bronx Zoo in 1905 to save the bison from extinction. In 1907, Bronx Zoo staff sent 15 bison by train to Oklahoma's Wichita Mountains Wildlife Preserve to help restore the western Plains' depleted bison population. Recognizing a century later that wild bison and their native ecosystems were still in trouble, WCS re-launched the American Bison Society in 2005. ABS has steadily built a network of bison experts, including ranchers, state, and provincial governments, Native American nations, scientists, and non-governmental organizations from western states, Mexico, and Canada, with the purpose of securing an ecological future of bison in North America over the next century.
WCS is calling on the federal government to better coordinate management of bison across federal lands and working with Canada and Mexico on cross-border bison management. We are also researching and promoting scientific resolutions to obstacles facing bison restoration.
Our conservationists are also studying how the grazing behavior of the bison herds that dot the Great Plains can help keep
grasslands and grassland bird populations healthy, control invasive species, and create seasonal
variety in grass height. Over an area of 450,000 acres, we are working to restore grasslands with a broad range of partners,
monitoring bird populations and bird-bison habitat associations, and
developing science-based guidelines for how to manage bison grazing so that it
creates more bird habitat.
In its second century of bison conservation, WCS is working to restore the wild landscape that enables bison to roam freely, and to support larger, free-ranging herds. The ABS was founded at the Bronx Zoo in 1905.
This Thanksgiving marked the 100-year-anniversary of one of the greatest milestones in the modern conservation movement: the transfer of 14 bison from the Bronx Zoo to Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota.
Steve Zack, WCS's Coordinator of Bird Conservation, explains the ways in which oil and gas fracking efforts may reshape the American prairie, and the consequences for grassland birds and bison.
More than 30 million bison roamed the United States at its founding, but the largest land mammal in the Western Hemisphere nearly went extinct as Americans expanded to the west. Writing for National Geographic NewsWatch, Executive Vice President of Public Affairs, John Calvelli, discusses the ways in which Native American tribes (and WCS) have helped restore bison populations.
Ted Roosevelt V, the great-great-grandson of our country's 26th President, has voiced his support for the bison as the country's national mammal. Writing for USA Today, Roosevelt recounts the mammal's storied history and explains the importance of the National Bison Legacy Act.
In his first blog celebrating bison, WCS Executive Vice President for Public Affairs John Calvelli discusses ongoing efforts to protect this iconic species. WCS has been protecting buffalo since the turn of the 20th century and is currently working with conservationists, sportsmen, Native American tribes, and lawmakers to advance the National Bison Legacy Act.
In concert with the introduction of the National Bison Legacy Act in the U.S. Senate, WCS and its partners have launched a campaign to make the American bison our national mammal.
A new publication by IUCN, written with WCS collaboration, reports on the current status of wild American bison, and makes recommendations on how to ensure the species is conserved for the future.
A national survey says that the American public respect and love bison, but most are unaware that the animals are in trouble. The survey is part of an effort to spark public support for ecological restoration of the species.
It will likely take a century, but conservationists believe they can restore the American bison to a surprising amount of its former range. Particularly important are the grassland ecosystems, both public and private, that might benefit from bison grazing, and local communities that might benefit from having herds flourish nearby.

"There is not going to be a 'next' Serena or Venus. Champions are unique in their own way," adds Fernandez. "[Each of these women] are working so hard on and off the court and becoming more professional all-around, but not everyone develops at the same time. Jamie is 23 and it is all starting to come together for her now; Sloane was ready earlier. You have to be patient. You have to put in the work and get the most of what you have, whether that is top 10, top 50. But one thing is for sure—you have to put in all you have to be the best you can be."

Gun advocates hold rally at Arizona Capitol
PHOENIX — Gun advocates in Arizona have joined nationwide rallies in support of gun rights.
The group Guns Across America Rally for Arizona held Saturday a largely peaceful rally Saturday at the Arizona State Capitol. Hundreds of protesters, some carrying rifles and holstered handguns, waved signs that said "We respect gun rights" and "Defend your constitution before it is too weak to defend."
One man dressed as a Revolutionary War Minuteman carried an antique 1800s-style long rifle, along with sign saying "Tyrants Beware – 1776."
The rally is one of many slated to take place on state capitols across the country thanks to a loosely organized campaign via social media. The rallies were sponsors by the Washington D.C.-based group Political Media.
