I just tested my Metolal stored in a 1/3 full sealed glass bottle for 28 months.
It seems not to work anymore,blank film.I tried adding more sodium hydroxide but this did not revive it, failure was not due to atmospheric CO2 reacting with hydroxide in the original mix.
I wonder if the sulfite content of the concentrate could be increased.
(1) Crawley (BJP Jan 6 1961) found sodium sulfite at 5g/L in the working solution is best with Metol as developing agent,it removes the oxidation products.
(2) More sulfite might be a better preservative if oxidation was the cause of the failure.
To get 5g/L at 1:50 dilution means 250g/L sulfite in the concentrate.
This is close to the solubility I looked up 270g/L.
I wonder if there is any opinion on increasing the sodium sulfite in the concentrate.

Patterson named POW
South Dakota State women's soccer defender Dani Patterson was named Defensive Player of the Week for her performances Oct. 15-21.
Patterson started both games for the Jacks this weekend, a pair of one-goal, shutout wins versus Kansas City and South Dakota. Patterson and the SDSU defense held both teams to four shots on goal and stifled some of the top forwards in the league.
The Jacks jumped ahead of the Kangaroos in the league standings with the wins, as well.
It is the first POW award of her career and the first for any Jackrabbit this season.
The wins kept SDSU's postseason hopes alive as it heads to Omaha for its regular season finale. Game time is set for 3 p.m. on Friday in Omaha, Neb.
The complete release is available on The Summit League website.

While his name is bubbling with a bit of controversy and drama these days, I'll speak for myself and say it does not change my opinion on Jeremy Scott. I'm not defending his actions, but simply put – I've always been a big fan of the way he operates and designs boundlessly…a creative freedom I find rare, and wish more individuals could share.
Moving onto the shoes, and in addition to the 3 pairs we received earlier this week, a new set of Adidas x Jeremy Scott Wings has come in. The upper is a lot to digest, with an upper being dubbed "Rainbow Hologram" which fuses colors in a cool way that I remember I used to see on stickers growing up. Each panel of the shoe is embedded with the whole spectrum of colors as are the bold detachable wings on the side. The outsole is translucent and has a minimal glitter effect to it, and best of all…these Wings are also available in adorable infant sizes as well!

Last week, I submitted an entry into the CodeRack contest. CodeRack, if you haven't come across it yet, is a competition designed to encourage Rubyists to build and share Rack middleware.
My entry allows Rack-based applications (in other words, pretty much any web app built in Ruby on recentish frameworks) to output log information to the Firebug console. It turns out that the same Javascript API is supported by WebKit so it works in Safari, and probably Chrome as well.
It works by taking advantage of the fact that Rack apps (and middleware) take as their sole parameter a hash containing the environment - all the CGIish stuff like user agent, HTTP method and the path information. Apps and middleware can add information to this hash so it can be shared.
FirebugLogger expects logs to be stored in this environment hash with a key of "firebug.logs". Each log entry is a list with two members: a level and a message. Rack based apps can append to this list and the middleware then appends a script block which makes the appropriate Javascript calls to the logging API.
I also have the middleware in a Github repo, along with unit tests and a Rails plugin which adds the middleware to the Rails middleware stack and provides a nice API for adding log entries.
Since I wrote this, it turns out my little middleware was a finalist! I didn't place, but I'm still pretty pleased that people liked it. Thanks to everyone who voted!

Telephone Services at UVa
Cellular Phone Service
For information about cellular telephone service in student residence areas, see our Information for Students page.
Faculty and Staff
Important! Before You Order Your Phone...
Prior to activating a cell phone or PDA (iPhone, BlackBerry, iPad, etc.) that has been provided by or funded by the University, the recipient must complete the Employee Agreement Concerning the Use of University-Owned Cell Phones and PDAs form and submit it to your department/unit's fiscal administrator for their records.
Ordering Directly From UVa-Contracted Vendors
Faculty and staff needing wireless and cellular telephone service may purchase cellular telephone/wireless services directly from UVa-contracted carriers by accessing existing cooperative contracts negotiated through UVa Procurement and Supplier Diversity Services.
In the past, ITS Communication Services was the single University contact for cellular services, which VITA required in 2003. Since then, ITS has continued to process orders for service and equipment, and incorporated VITA charges into departmental billing. This process, when added to VITA's processes, has resulted in inefficiencies and delays which directly impact departments. Buying straight from the carriers provides more choice and better service.
Existing Orders Through ITS Communication Services/VITA
Existing services previously ordered through VITA will continue and billing for those
services will remain unchanged. ITS Communication Services no longer accepts new orders
for service and equipment through VITA (effective Oct. 1, 2010). Please direct any questions
regarding VITA orders to ITS Communication Services at 4-4106 or by
IMPORTANT: If you currently have service through VITA and switch to one of the cooperative contracts, please contact ITS after the new service is set up in order for ITS to cancel your VITA service, otherwise the VITA billing may continue.
Cancellation of Cellular Service
Requests to cancel service, change service, or port numbers for cellular phones ordered through VITA must be submitted to ITS Communication Services. Please do not contact the local carrier about any of these issues. Failure to properly notify Communication Services about changes could result in ongoing charges.

This is the culmination of a journey that began with a very rudimentary drawing I did to relieve some tension while staying in a cockroach infested Army hotel in El Paso, TX more than a year ago. Finally, she is complete. A real work of love and patience. Her halo is gilded in 23k gold.
Mary�s artistic journey began with a fascination for all things bright and beautiful. Growing up in a small Montana town afforded many opportunities to revel in the glory of Mother Nature, but not a lot of cultural opportunity. Second oldest of eleven children, and raised in a very strict traditional Catholic home, Mary was exposed to a lot of religious art as a child and became interested in more contemporary art as she got older. After Graduating from Stevensville High School in 1992, Mary attended the University of Montana where she studied theater. During this time period she mainly painted with oils and watercolors in her spare time. Her current focus is primarily encaustic, though she also often works in acrylic and...

Davina Conveigh sighed looking out the window of her parents' car as they pulled up to Davina's new school. Davina and her twin brother Antony were to be joining Madison Prepetory School a fact neither of them were excited about until Davina spotted a group of kids in army greens, she sat up, excitedly, and the sudden movement caught her father's attention. He looked out, the passenger's side window and also spotted the boys.
"Ah yes, I forgot Madison has a JROTC program." Samuel Conveigh commented and glanced at his daughter as they got out of the car. All her life Davina had wanted to be in s military program, she had even begged her parents to let her join military school, but Davina had also always been very delicate and so her parents didn't feel military school was a good fit.
"Is this some kind of punishment, Dad?" Davina asked staring at the boys.
"No, and I've already arranged your schedule, for you so don't even think about joining." Davina sighed and looked at Antony who looked ready to blow up on their mother.
"Come on, Antony; let's see if we can find the counselor's office." Davina said grabbing her bags. Her twin sighed and followed suit, and watched as she stared at the boys dressed in camouflage catching their breath.
"Forget it, Sis you know Mom would never go for it." They stepped inside the large building.
"I don't see why not. I played softball –"
"And broke your finger."
"Sprained your wrist."
"Twisted your ankle."
"Dislocated your shoulder, that one still has me confused."
"Go-kart racing,"
"Slipped a disk in your back."
"And volleyball."
"In which you broke your nose, dislocated your thumb and re-sprained your wrist. Just face it Davina, you're not cut out for physical activity." Davina sighed. "Here it is."
"Hi, I'm Mrs. Payne." Greeted the counselor when the twins stepped inside her well organized office. "You must be Antony and Davina Conveigh."

Tibetan Calendar of the Year. [Wisdom Publications]
Tibetan Art Calendar 2010
I've seen these around for years. Produced by Buddhist publisher Wisdom, a quality outfit, these calendars are big, high-quality, really frame-able art. If you're going to get a spiritual/Buddhist calendar, this one may not be full of Pema Chodron quotes, but it'd be my choice. To buy or for price info, click here.
More info:
Poster-sized reproductions of classical paintings produced to the highest standards. An annual favorite
This is why Wisdom's Tibetan Art Calendar is so special. It's an affordable way to enjoy incredibly rare and meaningful works of sacred art, year-round. These thirteen sacred paintings by Tibet's master painters represent a variety of classical images, mandalas, deities, and icons. Each poster-sized picture is produced to the highest German printing standards, and is suitable for framing. Complete with in-depth explanations of their cultural and philosophical significance, these exquisite fine art reproductions will be treasured for years to come.
Praise & Reviews
Three-time honoree for classical art by the Calendar Marketing Association.The curator of the Rubin Foundation's Himalayan Art Project has called Wisdom's Tibetan Art Calendar an incredible fine-art collection in itself.
A three-time Calendar Marketing Association "Best Classical Art" award-winner, the Tibetan Art Calendar is an unmatchable value and a perfect gift for any Buddhist, yoga practitioner, or art lover.
The antique scroll-art masterpieces seen in Wisdom's Tibetan Art Calendar 2008 are called thangkas. While the thangka is common to Tibetan Buddhists, its finest examples are highly sought-after in the international art community and have become hot properties in the same vein as Oriental rugs and ceramics. As a result, the best of these works are seldom, if ever, available for public viewing.

Donation Funds
Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship (ADF) is an international Neopagan church devoted to creating a public tradition of Druidry. Our members are attempting to revive the best aspects of the Paleopagan faiths of our ancestors within a modern spiritual, scientific, artistic, ecological, and holistic context. Our Motto: Why not excellence?
The following describes the different "funds" or "targets" you specify a donation to be directed toward. You can donate to ADF when you join, renew, or at any other time you like. Thank you for helping us make the Vision of Our Druidry a reality!
Note: ADF is a 501(c)3 religious organization, so your greatly appreciated donation will be tax-deductible in the U.S. If you plan to claim such a deduction, please save your receipt of the donation.
ADF Cares | Building Fund | Campaign Fund | Compassionate Membership | General Fund
Land Fund | Military Comradeship | Prison Ministry
ADF Cares
An ongoing project for assisting those of natural disasters. In 2005, $500 was raised and donated to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund.
Building Fund
Capital for designated projects to assist in the advancement of ADF. (A possible example is a museum shop at Brushwood Folklore Center, approved in 2008).
Campaign Funds
This is an effort to raise funds to supplement the operating budget with targeted donations and avoid increasing membership fees or reducing services.
- Archdruid Travel Fund – this fund is to assist in covering the time and effort spent as ADF's Religious Leader and for travel expenses.
- Clergy Travel Fund – this fund is to assist in the travel expense for our clergy members to visit solitaries and groves, and to attend organized retreats by the Clergy Council.
- Regional Druid Travel Fund – this fund is to assist in the travel expenses for Regional Druids to attend the annual meeting and visiting groves and meetings in their respective regions.
Compassionate Membership
This fund allows ADF to grant membership to individuals who are financially-challenged so severely that they cannot afford membership, but who feel the call of Our Druidry in their hearts and souls and request that we consider gifting them with a year of membership. If the Mother Grove determines that they are indeed unable to afford membership on their own, ADF will draw from the Compassionate Membership fund if possible in order to provide it to them for free.
General Fund
This fund allows us to direct the funds where they are most needed and is thus where we would greatly prefer all donations to go. However, if you want your funds directed to a particular purpose instead, that's fine too—every little bit helps!
These are only suggestions, members may be compelled to send in a donation towards the annual list fee for a guild or kin; they may want to donate to make the Yule card to members an annual thing; or just for an as needed by the organization.
Land Fund
This is a collection of donations our members have contributed toward the dream of one day purchasing land for the members of ADF to hold rituals, build shrines to the Gods and spirits, and work and play together as we bring the Vision of Our Druidry to fruition for ourselves and our children. ADF currently uses whatever spaces we are able to rent or use from others, but it would be even better to someday own our own land dedicated 100% to the work of our Druidry in honoring the gods, ancestors, and spirits of nature.
Military Comradeship
Supplying deployed military personnel with 'pagan care packages' (ritual supplies, books, CD, etc).
Prison Ministry
Project for supplying spiritual materials and books for incarcerated pagans.
Thank you for you consideration in supporting the vision of ADF.

Frances Moore Lappe
Twenty-seven years after it was established, the World Food Prize is getting unprecedented attention. The protest marches, dissenting op-eds and contentious panel discussions about GMO safety and corporate control of agriculture highlight complex issues that have too often been left to scientists and corporations to decide.
The controversy shouldn�t offend or dismay the organizers who work hard to arrange the symposiums and award ceremony and to host international dignitaries for Iowa�s signature event. Nor should it tarnish the legacy of Iowa�s Norman Borlaug, who fathered the Green Revolution and founded the prize. The dissents are a healthy sign that world hunger, food production models and sustainability have made their way into the public dialogue.
Happily, the prize is reaching out to dissenting speakers. This is the first year that Frances Moore Lappe has been invited to be on a panel. And in a sweet synchronicity, she will be honored Saturday by a dissenting organization, the Women�s International League for Peace and Freedom, with a Strong Feisty Woman Award.
Lappe is the author of the 1971 bestseller �Diet for a Small Planet,� published the year after Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize. Her book argued for a plant-centered diet and called grain-fed meat production wasteful and a contributor to global food scarcity. She developed almost a cult following for arguing that world hunger is caused not by a lack of food but by food policies that concentrate power in the hands of a few corporations.
I spoke to her Mondayin advance of her Friday morning panel. Her new book is �Ecomind: Changing the Way We Think to Create the World We Want.� Its main idea, she says, is that we must shift from a �scarcity mind� to �ecomind,� one that does not see growing more food as the solution.
�The fundamental premise is fear-driven � that there�s not enough,� said Lappe. �The message from the biotech industry is, �The world is running out of food. Starvation is around the corner without us. Trust us.� That leads to the conclusion that we�ve got to give up our power to big corporations.�
Lappe even critiques the notion that genetically modified seeds create higher yields, citing a New Zealand study comparing yields from non-GMO crops in Western Europe with GMO crops in the U.S., which found no difference. She argues that in the last 30 years, the Green Revolution has hardly reduced hunger. �If it weren�t for China�s progress since 1990, worldwide we�d have managed to cut hunger by 6 percent � leaving 842 million still chronically hungry. �
Some diets, resulting from replacing crop diversity with monocultures, have left some 2 billion people nutritionally deficient, she claims. Worldwide, UNICEF says one in four children is nutritionally stunted, meaning their growth and development is not what it should be. In the United States, it�s around 5 percent.
�The U.S. is a prime example of absolute production success. But 47 million people don�t know where their next meal is coming from,� Lappe said.
And in India, despite the Green Revolution, one in two children�s growth is stunted, Lappe says. But she found hope in southern India�s Andhra Pradesh state, where about 5,000 women in 70 villages save and share seeds and farm organically in a cooperative. They used to work for landowners and suffer hunger and depend on government ration cards.
Twenty years later, they grow an abundance of food, Lappe wrote. They�ve built water conservation trenches and established �synergistic� cropping patterns. They have a growing cooperative market and produce almost three million more meals a year than they once did. That�s significant in a state known for its high rates of farmer suicides � the result of debt from the high costs of buying seeds, fertilizer and pesticides for high-yield agriculture.
But if, as Lappe claims, the problem is not one of quantity, what about Borlaug�s contribution with high-yield crops? �His work was in isolation,� she claims, because it didn�t consider the �systems� through which this technology would be made available. �What we need is seeds that don�t make people dependent on purchased things they cannot afford.�
So Lappe recommends the World Food Prize �go deeper� into the root causes of hunger, include award selectors with direct experience and honor transparency. Lappe said Kenneth Quinn, president of the World Food Prize Foundation � whom she calls �very, very kind� and impressive � told her some of that is already being done. But she questions if someone from Monsanto would have won, saying, �They are part of a system that is at the root of hunger � the concentration of power, the lack of transparency in the biotech industry.�
The prize, she says, �can�t realize its vision of nutrition and sustainable food for all people, while still reinforcing the premise of �lack� and the productivist mindset.�
This is tricky. The World Food Prize can play a vital role in spotlighting important issues and inspiring engagement and solutions � but only if it isn�t locked into a singular framework of solutions. Knowledge is not static, but evolving, and yesterday�s answers can be today�s problems. Fortunately the reverse is also true.

Shooting Schedule – Keep or Throw?
Based on my last post, I received another question regarding clients and client relations. My last post discussed those who like to include a little too much information into their videos. This particular question focuses on clients who can't stick with the shooting schedule. Here's the question:
My client is very knowledgeable about his business, but won't follow a cut sheet to save their lives! We've been there to give directions and they are great about that. However, any general advice on how to shoot this smoothly (even w/o the cut sheets) so the post production isn't a hair puller?
Let me first say that video shoots rarely stay on schedule. Once you get on location, things can get shuffled around and your day can run late. So, don't panic if you're at the end of the first day and you haven't accomplished all that you hoped. I have written some articles on this blog that discuss shooting schedules. Hopefully you can find some valuable info in my archives that will help you schedule your video shoots.
Second, when you're talking to your client about the shooting schedule, try approaching the subject from a financial angle. Staying true to the shot list will help everything run more efficiently, which will save your client money. I always tell clients that spending the time in pre-production to create and maintain a solid shooting schedule is vital to staying on budget.
Third, realize that many times you will simply have to "go with the flow." As I said earlier, things fluctuate. Often, the activity on location will dictate how and what you shoot, not the other way around. For example, while working on a video project for a manufacturing company, I simply had to shoot the action as it happened. I couldn't tell the foreman, "Hey, we need to shoot 'X' at station 2 right now," because the manufacturing process has its own schedule. Sometimes there was no activity at station 2. I simply had to stay flexible and go where the action was. It did mean I had to jump around quite a bit, but that's part of the documentary process. Sometimes it can't be contained in a nice, neat shot list.
If you find that you are shooting your project in this style, remember to do one of two things (doing both would be even better):
- Maintain a running log of what's been shot
- Slate everything (simply write down on a piece of paper what the camera is looking at, hold it up in front of the camera, and film it for a few seconds, just for reference).
Having a reference marker in your footage will help tremendously in post-production. That way, your editor can easily match up your shot with what's mentioned in the script. Let's say your video is for a drilling company and the script reads, "With our new, state-of-the-art Hole-Maker 9000, we can…" Well, if your editor has hours of footage showing different types of machinery, how is he/she supposed to know which piece of footage is the Hole-Maker 9000?
Yes, staying on schedule will make everyone happier and it will keep production costs down, but remaining open to new possibilities means that you may find a great storyline when you least expect it.

For the second time since the start of trial, ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's public corruption trial has been delayed because of an attorney's health.
There will be no trial today, but it likely will resume Wednesday.
The delay involves a defense attorney for contractor Bobby Ferguson, Susan VanDusen. She was rushed to the hospital Monday after tripping over a mat outside the courtroom and hitting her face on the marble floor.
"It looks like at the end of the day, she'll be fine. But she took a hard fall," another of Ferguson's lawyers, Michael Rataj, said from the hospital.
In October, Gerald Evelyn, another of Ferguson's lawyers, became disoriented while cross-examining a witness and was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. The trial ended up delayed for about two weeks after it was learned Evelyn had a previously unknown heart issue. He has recovered.
VanDusen's fall occurred following a contentious cross-examination of a prosecution witness, who said her company was forced to hire Ferguson. The witness, Kathleen McCann, had testified that Ferguson's firm did little or no work for the money.
Another defense attorney likely will finish the cross-examination of McCann, whose testimony will wrap up an extortion story alleged by the government. McCann's testimony bolstered that of her former boss, Grosse Pointe tycoon Anthony Soave, who testified that Kilpatrick once forced him to dump his subcontractor and hire Ferguson instead to work on a $50-million contract.
Kilpatrick; his father, Bernard Kilpatrick, and Ferguson are charged with trying to enrich themselves using Kwame Kilpatrick's authority as mayor of Detroit in 2002--08. They deny the charges.
The trial began in September and could go well into next year.

One of the things I most love about online video is how it can propel a person, brand or group from complete obscurity to centre stage, if only for a day.
However for some, a day can be enough, and so this is a tactic that is working well for small, and relatively unknown bands who labour to create a truly unique music video, and then reap the awards of its viral success. We've seen it work for Kina Grannis, the music video that took 2 years to complete was shared and talked about for months afterwards, and look no further than OK GO.
This latest video, Everything Changes, is from Brooklyn-based band Eytan and The Embassy and is is made up of three viral components. Firstly, it borrows from the school of OK GO by composing the entire the video in one long unedited take. Secondly, it has a fairly clever concept, the real-time changing of costumes and reference to known celebrities and thirdly, these two elements combine to create a world first, the world record for the most costume changes in a single take.
In total, there are 18 costume changes that reference music icons from Bruce Springsteen, Bowie & Cobain to Lady GaGa & DeadMau5. I can't help feel the idea was slightly influenced by the advert from Garnier Fructis but at least the execution is different. It too a day to rehearse the video, and thirty take to nail it and if you'd like to see behind the scenes, then watch it here.

Since the advent of cardiac surgery, anesthesiologists at the Corrigan Minehan Heart Center have provided state-of-the-art anesthesia care for patients requiring surgery.
What is the education and training of a cardiac anesthesiologist?A cardiac anesthesiologist is a doctor (MD) who has completed four years of college, four years of medical school, at least four years of graduate-level medical training (a year of internship and three years in an anesthesiology residency program), and at least one year of a cardiac anesthesia fellowship program. During these many years of education and training, cardiac anesthesiologists become very knowledgeable about many areas of medicine, including cardiology, internal medicine, critical care, and pharmacology. However, a cardiac anesthesiologist's education does not end with the completion of fellowship training. Because the field of cardiac anesthesiology is constantly evolving and expanding, cardiac anesthesiologists continually update their knowledge and skills through regular participation in educational courses and symposia, earning certifications as appropriate or required.
What role does the cardiac anesthesiologist have in my care?You probably will not get to know your cardiac anesthesiologist as well as your cardiologist and/or cardiac surgeon. You may not even be conscious or fully aware while this member of your cardiac team does much of his or her work. Nonetheless, this doctor plays many important roles in your care before, during, and after your surgery or procedure, and is an essential member of the cardiac team.
Specifically, your cardiac anesthesiologist:
- Ensures your comfort during surgery or a cardiac procedure with the use of anesthetics tailored to your specific medical condition and existing health issues
- Continually monitors your vital functions (such as breathing, heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure, body temperature, oxygen saturation, and fluid and blood needs) throughout and immediately following surgery or a procedure, making medical decisions on your behalf as necessary
- Manages your care, including any pre-existing medical conditions, throughout surgery and the immediate post-operative period
- Manages your pain during the immediate post-operative period to make you as comfortable as possible
- Provides expert consultation on many issues pertaining to your care, including pain management, anticoagulation, and airway management
What type of anesthesia will I have?
There are four basic types of anesthesia:
- General anesthesia
- Regional anesthesia
- Local anesthesia
- Sedation
If you are having cardiac surgery, you must have general anesthesia, which renders you unconscious, immobile, and unable to experience pain or other sensations. You will also have no recollection of anything that occurred while you were under general anesthesia.
If you are undergoing a diagnostic or therapeutic cardiac procedure in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab or Electrophysiology Lab, you may require only local anesthesia and/or sedation. There are varying levels of sedation, but often you will be given a sedative that produces a "twilight sleep," in which you are not unconscious, but may fall asleep and have little or no recollection of events.
Why is there a preoperative interview and what does it consist of?
The preoperative interview has two important purposes. One is to provide your cardiac anesthesiologist with essential information about your health history and habits so he or she can properly plan and manage your anesthesia and care during and following your surgery or procedure. If, for example, you have a chronic medical condition, such as allergies or asthma, your cardiac anesthesiologist must know this information in order to tailor your anesthesia to your specific situation. In addition, your cardiac anesthesiologist will ask about your use of cigarettes, alcohol, and prescribed or illicit drugs, as these affect how your body responds to anesthesia. The other important purpose of the preoperative interview is to give you an opportunity to ask questions and voice any concerns you may have.
Will I be asleep during my entire operation?
If you are having general anesthesia, you will not be conscious (aware) during your entire operation. You will not experience pain or other sensations and cannot be aroused until and unless the cardiac anesthesiologist chooses to wake you. Be assured that throughout your entire operation, your cardiac anesthesiologist continually monitors and adjusts your level of anesthesia so that you are always adequately anesthetized. However, you may be aware (but sedated), during pre-surgical preparations, so you may have some recollection of the operating suite after your surgery is over.
Will I need a blood transfusion?
You may need a blood transfusion. Today's blood supply is extremely safe, but the risk is not zero. If you have any specific concerns about this issue, please discuss them with your cardiac anesthesiologist.
What are the risks of general anesthesia?
No cardiac surgical procedure is without some degree of risk, which your surgeon will discuss with you prior to your operation. Fortunately, serious complications and death from general (or other types of) anesthesia are very rare today, despite the fact that more cardiac surgery is now performed on older, sicker patients and younger, tinier infants than in the past. The increased safety of general anesthesia is due to many factors, including:
- New, safer drugs
- Sophisticated new anesthesia and monitoring equipment
- Broader, more extensive training of anesthesiologists
- National standards of care that reflect current best practices
What are the side effects of general anesthesia?
Side effects from general anesthesia may occur, but the vast majority are not serious, do not last long, and are treatable. Side effects may include sore throat, headache, back pain, and/or fatigue. Some patients experience nausea or vomiting, but this occurs less frequently than in the past.
When and where will I wake up after my operation?
When you wake up after your operation depends on many factors, including the type of surgery you undergo. Most likely, you will awaken in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit.
Will I experience a lot of pain after my operation?
Some discomfort after a major surgical procedure is to be expected. But strong, effective painkilling drugs are routinely provided to cardiac surgical patients so they can be as comfortable as possible. Patients and families should be reassured to know that the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit staff members are very aware of the importance of effective pain management and very experienced at managing patients' pain.
Will my family members be kept informed about my status during my operation? When will they be able to see me?
At Massachusetts General Hospital, we keep families informed of the patient's status at regular intervals during a cardiac operation. Your family members may visit you as soon as you are moved to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit or (for children) the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

What support is available for students and alumni interested in law teaching?
Why do so many YLS graduates choose judicial clerkships after graduation?
How does CDO assist students in connecting with alumni?
In which locations do YLS graduates work?
What do YLS graduates earn?
What support is available to students who pursue public interest careers?
CDO offers numerous resources for students interested in careers in public interest and government. Among the resources available to students are programs on becoming a public defender, working in civil rights and pursuing a career with the U.S. Department of Justice. In addition, YLS participates as a member-school in two public interest careers fairs, one in New York and one in Washington, D.C. In addition CDO provides an online summer employment evaluation database which students can search to learn more about the public interest employment experiences of their fellow students. Students are also encouraged to reference the public interest guides authored by the CDO, including Criminal Prosecution, Working on Capitol Hill and International Public Interest Law.
YLS is a leader in providing grants for summer public interest work and educational loan repayment assistance. First, YLS has the most generous loan forgiveness program in the country. The Career Options Assistance Program (COAP) allows students to choose public service and other modest salaried positions after graduation by paying all of their academic loans if they earn less than a specific yearly income, and partial payment for those with higher salaries. Click here for complete details on the program including the specified income levels. In addition, the Summer Public Interest Fellowship program provides up to $6,000 for students who need financial support to pursue a public interest job in the summer. Five thousand dollars of this funding is guaranteed; student fundraising will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to the total $6,000 summer budget.
Finally, YLS has awarded 34 public interest fellowships to its graduates for the 2013-14 academic year. Because of these programs, Yale graduates can consider employment opportunities without salary being the determining factor.
What support is available for students interested in private sector employment?
Considering first non-clerkship job choices, approximately 60% of YLS graduates begin their legal careers in law firms. CDO offers extensive support to students pursuing law firm positions, including individual counseling sessions, programs on law firm practice areas and culture, and individual meetings with alumni through our Mentor in Residence program. The online summer employment evaluation database maintained by CDO enables peer to peer mentoring, through which students can learn more about the private sector employment experiences of their fellow students. CDO also authors several publications to assist students considering private sector options, including Law Firm Practice, Lawyers in Business, Critically Evaluating Pro Bono Policies and Programs and Assessing Law Firms: Culture, Clients, Compensation and Beyond. Many upper-class students pursuing law firm summer positions secure those positions through the Fall Interview Program.
What support is available for students and alumni interested in law teaching?
YLS alumni have been extremely successful on the law teaching market and are currently law professors in every conceivable subject at schools of every type in every area of the globe. CDO and the Law Teaching Committee offer extensive advice and support for YLS graduates entering the market, including individualized CV advice and the compilation of a YLS CV book disseminated to every law school in the country. In addition YLS annually hosts Moot Camp, which provides YLS alumni candidates an opportunity to return to Yale, attend instructional programs on the law teaching market and publishing, and moot their job talk before an audience composed of faculty, students, fellows and other alumni.
The Law Teaching Series for students is held throughout the academic year and includes information sessions ranging from "Developing a Research Agenda" to panels on clinical law teaching. These sessions alternate with workshops giving student authors a chance to present their work to the Law School community and receive faculty commentary.
Why do so many YLS graduates choose judicial clerkships after graduation?
There are many reasons why so many of our graduates pursue judicial clerkships upon graduation. Working closely with a judge in a one- or two-year clerkship provides an excellent overview of the legal system in action, hones research and writing skills, and often provide a mentor for life. In recent years, we have seen an increasing number of graduates choose to work for one or two years after graduating before clerking.
YLS graduates have an excellent record of securing judicial clerkships at the state and federal level. CDO assists students and alumni seeking judicial clerkships in many ways. An attorney counselor is dedicated to advising students and alumni seeking judicial clerkships. CDO authors three guides on clerking, Judicial Clerkships in the U.S; Opportunities with International Tribunals and Foreign Courts; and U.S. Supreme Court Clerkships. The office organizes many programs during the year on exploring clerkship opportunities and navigating the application process. CDO maintains an online database containing confidential comment surveys from prior judicial law clerks which students and alumni can explore prior to applying to judges. The office also provides a Judges Address Database to assist clerkship applicants and their recommenders in creating cover letters and mailing labels. Finally, CDO works with law school staff to facilitate the bundling and delivery of clerkship application packets and recommendation letters.
How does CDO assist students in connecting with alumni?
CDO provides students with multiple ways connect with YLS alumni. In conjunction with the Office of Alumni Affairs, CDO maintains a network of more than 1600 alumni in the YLS Career Connections who are interested in providing career advice and guidance to current students and fellow graduates. In addition, the Yale Career Network is the University equivalent to YLS Career Connections and is available to all YLS students and alumni. It is a database of alumni from all schools within Yale who have offered to assist students or fellow alumni seeking career advice.
Each year, CDO hosts over 60 educational programs to enlighten students about career paths and job search strategies with many of these events feature our own distinguished alumni. In addition, through the Mentors in Residence program dozens of alumni return to the Law School to meet individually with interested students to discuss career paths. Finally, CDO's Mock Interview Program partners students with alumni to enhance students' interview skills.
In which locations do YLS graduates work?
Each year YLS graduates accept their first jobs in a wide variety of U.S. cities and in numerous foreign countries. The most popular geographic destinations for recent graduates are New York City, Washington, DC, and California.
What do YLS graduates earn?
Beginning salaries depend on the type, size and geographical location of the employer. A graduate accepting a position in a large New York City law firm will earn approximately $160,000, while a graduate commencing work in public interest in DC may earn $30,000-$80,000. A graduate starting work with the New York County District Attorney's office will earn around $50,000. Because of Yale's loan forgiveness program, Yale graduates can consider employment opportunities without salary being the determining factor.

WOONSOCKET - It was the longest war in American history and the most unpopular American war of the 20th century. It resulted in nearly 60,000 American deaths and an estimated two million Vietnamese deaths.
Forty-seven years after enlisting for Vietnam, Richard W. Schatz says he holds no regrets for his decision, especially at a time when so many of his friends were actively protesting the war.
"I enlisted to serve my country just as my father and my uncles did in World War II," says Schatz, president of the Cumberland Veterans Council and the 2011 grand marshal of the United Veterans Council of Woonsocket's annual Memorial Day Parade held Monday.
The honorary grand marshals were the Woonsocket Elks Lodge 850 and its Ladies Emblem Club No. 27.
"Some of my friends were against the war and when they heard I enlisted I lost those friends," says Schatz, who was also named Veteran of the Year this year by the United Veterans Council. "I felt it was the right thing to do and the only regret I have is that I didn't have friends who could understand and accept my decision."
Hundreds of people lined Clinton Street and South Main Street for Monday's parade, which stepped off at the corner of Cumberland and Clinton streets and ended at River Island Park. People waved flags and saluted as the parade rolled by. The line of march included Mayor Leo T. Fontaine, City Councilmen John Ward, William Schneck, Daniel M. Gendron and Christopher A. Beauchamp, city Veterans Advisor Melvin Defoe, and United Veterans Council President Ernest R. Frappier.
The parade also included a Woonsocket Police Department motorcade and color guard; Woonsocket United Veterans Council color guard and officers; and the Woonsocket High School and Middle School bands.
Also participating were color guards from the Cournoyer-Ducharme-Gosselin-Lambert VFW Post 11519; Belhumeur-Duhamel American Legion Post 62; American Legion Fairmount Post No. 85; Amvets Harnois-Barnabe-Arel Post 7; Woonsocket Post No. 15; Franco-American War Veterans; Disabled American Veterans Chapter 12; and the St. Joseph Veterans Association.
Marchers also included members of lady auxiliary posts, the Woonsocket High School Junior ROTC Unit, Knights of Columbus, Woonsocket Elks Lodge #850, and local Cub Scouts.
Despite overcast skies and intermittent light showers, hundreds lined the streets to watch the parade and take part in the Memorial Day ceremony at the war memorial at River Island Park, where Schatz threw a bouquet of red, white and blue carnations over the bridge above the Blackstone River.
It was the kind of gathering of respect and gratitude Schatz - who served in the Air Force from 1964 to 1965 - wished he and other Vietnam veterans had received when they returned home.
These men and women answered their nation's call, he said, to protect the world from the spread of communism. Some were drafted, many more volunteered to serve in a cause in which they believed.
Because of the widespread opposition to the war, and the strong passions ignited by anti-war activists, Schatz explained, Veitnam veterans were grossly mistreated when they returned home. They could not wear their uniforms off base for their own safety, they were spit upon in public places, and one of the many epithets hurled at them was "baby killer." Even in the Pentagon, military service members only wore uniforms one day a week.
"When I got home and got off the plane in New York, there was a young lady waiting to board another plane," Schatz said. "I was in uniform and she walked up to me and spit in my face and called me a few obscenities. I was very angry, but I didn't want to cause a scene."
Between 1945 and 1954, the Vietnamese waged an anti-colonial war against France and received $2.6 billion in financial support from the United States. The French defeat at the Dien Bien Phu was followed by a peace conference in Geneva, in which Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam received their independence and Vietnam was temporarily divided between an anti-communist south and a communist north. In 1956, South Vietnam, with American backing, refused to hold the unification elections. By 1958, Communist-led guerrillas known as the Viet Cong had begun to battle the South Vietnamese government.
To support the south's government, the United States sent in 2,000 military advisors, a number that grew to 16,300 in 1963. The military condition deteriorated, and by 1963, South Vietnam had lost the fertile Mekong Delta to the Vietcong. In 1965, Johnson escalated the war, commencing air strikes on North Vietnam and committing ground forces, which numbered 536,000 in 1968. The 1968 Tet Offensive by the North Vietnamese turned many Americans against the war. The next president, Richard Nixon, advocated Vietnamization, withdrawing American troops and giving South Vietnam greater responsibility for fighting the war. His attempt to slow the flow of North Vietnamese soldiers and supplies into South Vietnam by sending American forces to destroy communist supply bases in Cambodia in 1970 in violation of Cambodian neutrality provoked antiwar protests on the nation's college campuses.
From 1968 to 1973 efforts were made to end the conflict through diplomacy. In January 1973, an agreement reached and U.S. forces were withdrawn from Vietnam and U.S. prisoners of war were released. In April 1975, South Vietnam surrendered to the North and Vietnam was reunited.
In his speech, Schatz thanked those who took time out to attend Monday's ceremony, which included a wreath laying at the monument.
"For many, this weekend is a fun-filled time when we spend time with our families, have barbecues and watch fireworks," he said. "But the true meaning of Memorial Day is in the conscience of each and every one of you who pulled yourselves away from all that to pay tribute and to remember the 1.2 million men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
"On this day I ask you all to turn your hearts and minds to those who gave so much to this country. "We don't honor war, but those who came home in flag-draped coffins. We can't replace what they have given, but we can remember what they have given."
Schatz, who holds leadership positions with the Disabled American Veterans and other state and national veteran organizations, thanked the United Veterans Council of Woonsocket for naming him veteran of the year, but said that honor should go to every veteran and to every veteran who continue to help other veterans in need.
"They are all veterans of the year, each and every day," he said.
In his remarks, Mayor Fontaine said the overcast skies and light rain were "fitting" for such a solemn occasion "because this is a time we remember with sadness the loss of those loved ones who served this great country."
"But at the same time it's a time to celebrate the greatness of our country," he said. "The United States is the only country in the world that was formed on the principle of freedom. This Memorial Day is a day for us to remember and honor every soldier who has protected those freedoms."

Water flavored with Sugar Free Drink Packets
If you have a hard time drinking water, I have a 70-oz water jug that I got at Dollar Tree for, of course, $1. Instead of just plain water, I add two of the stick packs instead of 4 required for the amount of water. It is sweet enough and has no calories or sugar.

Toxic Substances Control Act Hearings — A Hopeful Start
February 27, 2009 by
Filed under 2009, Blog, EPA, Events, Front Page, Regulations, Slideshow, TSCA, U.S., Washington D.C.
We noted on Tuesday that the Toxic Substances Control Act would soon be under review. Yesterday was the opening day of the House of Representatives' hearing: "Revisiting the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976." The goal of the hearing is to reform the TSCA. The Honorable Bobby L. Rush (D-IL) opened the hearing with the statement that appears below. With this auspicious beginning, we hold out hope that our lawmakers will take bold, yet carefully considered, action to safeguard the health of our nation and our planet.
Yet, this is only the beginning. We must not become complacent and accept mere lip service. We at BPGL urge all Americans to let your congressional officials know that you're counting on them. All of our lives — and especially those of our most vulnerable citizens — depend on the strength and enforceability of the TSCA. — Julia Wasson
The Honorable Bobby L. Rush's statement appears below:
WASHINGTON, DC — "I want to welcome the Members of the Subcommittee to our first hearing of the 111th Congress. I am honored to chair this distinguished subcommittee and I will strive to serve all of its members honorably.
"I truly look forward to working with everyone on a productive legislative and oversight agenda.
"In this regard, our first hearing of the 111th Congress is an ambitious one and represents a new addition to the subcommittee's jurisdiction. Today's hearing will explore the major issues surrounding the Toxic Substances Control Act, also known as TSCA.
"TSCA was enacted in 1976 and originally consisted of one title, which remains the heart of the statute. While Congress, over the years, has added additional titles to TSCA addressing individual chemicals and substances, Congress has done very little with regard to Title I. TSCA and Title I have never been reauthorized or reformed, and very little oversight has been conducted on the statute's effectiveness. Today, I hope to start a deliberative process that reverses this Congressional inaction of the past. By most accounts, TSCA is badly in need of reform. While opinions may vary on the degree and nature of the reforms needed, there is a broad consensus among a diversity of stakeholders that TSCA needs to be reexamined.
"The scope of TSCA is very broad, and its intent is ambitious. TSCA is meant to provide adequate data on the potential health and environmental risks of all chemical substances and mixtures in the United States. Furthermore, the statute is supposed to provide EPA with adequate regulatory tools to protect the public from unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment. Unfortunately, the statute has seemingly been a failure on both of these basic policy goals.
"Critics contend that the TSCA has failed to generate data on the health risks of the approximately 80,000 chemicals currently in use and the approximately 700 new chemicals introduced into commerce every year. Even though Sections 4 and 5 of TSCA authorize EPA to force companies to test their chemical products and generate risk data, the hoops the agency must jump through in order to exercise this authority have proven to be too burdensome. Rulemakings take years to finalize, cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and are subject to constant legal action by companies who do not want to comply. As a former EPA Assistant Administrator once said, "It's almost as if we have to, first, prove that the chemicals are risky before we can have the testing done to show whether or not the chemicals are risky."
"Furthermore, once the EPA has made a determination that a chemical poses a health or environmental hazard, they have been unable to act on this determination. Section 6 of TSCA provides EPA with broad authority to regulate and ban toxic chemicals, but the burden of proof for action has proved so high that banning a chemical is virtually impossible. I think most Americans would be very surprised to learn that asbestos — a known carcinogen that kills 8,000 Americans every year — has not been banned by the EPA under TSCA, because the courts have ruled that EPA did not meet its evidentiary burden of proving that asbestos is an "unreasonable risk" to the public. If TSCA is incapable of providing EPA with the regulatory tools to ban asbestos, then the statutes seem to be in need of serious repair.
"I yield back the balance of my time."

We bring lids because we know heat is lost in evaporation. But the following research article seems to explain using a thin layer of oil on the water is more efficient than a lid!(pdf) http://www.aprovecho.org/lab/rad/rl/perf-stud/doc/61/raw%E2%80%8EWhat do you all think?
Edited by MChesney on 12/04/2013 14:50:04 MST.
This article is about losses associated with boiling.If you are simmering for any length of time, it would make a difference.It is not applicable to bringing your water up TO boiling, which is all I do for "freezer bag" meals.
Edited by greg23 on 12/04/2013 15:51:28 MST.
Why not both?
Interesting.The question is, would the energy saved in grams of fuel between the lid- and oil-topped boils be greater or less that the weight of the oil expended vs. the weight of the lid? One boil, likely yes. But the longer you're out, the more oil you'd need to take....
"Why not both?"When water boils the escaping molecules take energy with them. Oil prevents their escape.When the water is not boiling, it is only conduction losses to the air, which is small, per the article.
Edited by greg23 on 12/04/2013 16:00:33 MST.
Very cool. And oil is good to have for extra calories anyway, so it's no net extra weight at all.It seems pretty clear that the evaporative losses will be significantly less on the lower temperature range of of reaching a boil, so on a normal backpacker boil the effect will not be as large. But, assuming that containment of evaporative losses is the main purpose of a lid, this may be as effective as a lid, unless the lid does a lot regarding convection losses.Worth some experiments on a boil from cold water.
Brilliant. I love it. I was thinking how the only drawback--enhanced quantity of woodsies in the water when boiling over a wood fire--was an actual boasting challenge & gnar opportunity, but then the other hit (pretty much always & only think winter camping.) I keep by boil pot pure. Water only in it, all foodstuffs confined to the "cooking" soak-bowl. I certainly wouldn't mind the flavor of oil in my drinking water--wood smoke and funky snowmelt don't bother. But getting the oil sheen in the water bottle would be a drag. Would lose the chance to experience a pure freshet. Didn't study...will later...pdf, but other items pop out. Notable, black vs shiny pot. Shiny less radiation loss. Working hypothesis for my science review will be: facility of loss = facility of gain. Here, heat was electric and ~ all via bottom conduction, so benefit of radiation absorption via flames licking up sides of black pot doesn't arise. Still there's a principle bearing minding: easy come easy go. Didn't see mentioned, but suspect a culprit with a lid is the steam covecting between surface & lid. No steam convection with oil. Thanks!
Edited by charleywhite on 12/05/2013 12:41:01 MST.
Right, we need to ignore the sooty vs shiny pot measurements because the researcher is heating via conduction and we would be, in the field, by radiation so the worst thing the soot would do is absorb a small amount of heat which would then xfer into the pot. The electric range, however, is only efficient if all of the coil comes in contact with the pot directly.A study was done using flames on the first version of the FourDog pot (designed in part by Mors Kochanski) and it was found that anodizing, or blackening, the aluminum yielded a faster boil.
Edited by MChesney on 12/05/2013 12:52:08 MST.
I'm not getting good results with the oil on the water. I used 10W30.--B.G.--
"oil is good to have for extra calories anyway, so it's no net extra weight at all."Maybe, maybe not. If the oil is absorbed into the cooked food, yes. Or if the hiker drinks the hot oily water, yes. If the hot oily waters gets tossed on the dirt, no. Difference in heating (electric vs. pack stove vs. wood) is certainly a consideration. I've never enjoyed ash particles in my food, so a lid on a pot over a wood-burning stove or fire should definitely have a lid, in my book!
"...the researcher is heating via conduction..."Direct contact is good, but if you hold you hand over that element you will realize that radiation plays a big part is electric heating."...we would be [heating], in the field, by radiation ..."I don't think it's that simple. Hot gases bumping (convection) into a metal pot are heating by conduction as well. A hand held to the side of a burner will get hot, but not nearly as hot as if it where in direct contact with the flame.
I like olive oil, but definitely not in my tea, thanks!
That is the problem with leaving the lid at home.What you may gain by using oil you will lose when just boiling water for tea/coffee or chocolate.Mind you I have added olive oil to my hot chocolate to boost the final calorie intake for the day...
This idea was discussed in 2009 at http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=18456I tested the idea and made this comment in that thread:I just poured 2 C of water into my 3C AGG pot and then started added oil to see how much it would take to get a full cover of oil. First attempt - 4 TB (2 oz.). Second attempt, and poking at the oil to try to make it spread out more - 3 TB (1.5 oz). I couldn't get it any thinner than that.I brought the water to a boil and then tried to pour it off with either the oil or water coming first. No luck. There was no way to separate the oil from the water as I poured.So if you are packing oil anyway, and want everything to have oil in it, it might work to skip the lid. However, if you don't always want oil in your water, for hot drinks, for example, you'll need a lid. Otherwise, you'd need about 1.5 oz of oil for every time you boil water. I'm keeping my foil lid.But it was cool to watch the water covered in oil come to a boil without any steam rising at all until just as it boiled.
The oil may have a good effect when cooking in a confined area (e.g. tent) if it reduces steam. I can see it now ... best cold weather practices being to use enough oil with a meal to prevent steam, even if you are using a lid....
Edited by blean on 12/05/2013 18:07:33 MST.
It really doesn't matter what the oil is. You can use butter, for cocoa/tea. It's good in either. Parified butter is just the butter fat, without the liquids/salt. But I think I would rather have my coffee black.
"Mind you I have added olive oil to my hot chocolate to boost the final calorie intake for the day..."??? Coconut cream! So very yummy.
The '09ers like Kathleen probably got this back then, otherwise, like me, you got it overnight. The KEY to the heating superiority of the oil is that it floats; it's edibility is a pure BPL amenity. The floating lid I'm testing is a cutout from a thin silicone cutting sheet. Small irregularities in cutout allow trace bubbling. Only one test so far, but rose without explosion. Let me know how the baking-sheet parchment, and saran wrap work. ;)EDIT: to add I went & read whole thread you linked, Kathleen B. I see I wasn't the only one to think up silicone disks (which doesn't diminish the pleasure of conceiving a good idea! :). Did hidden problems emerge? Surprised this isn't up there with cotton-bad and windscreens-good.
