Coalition for Change: The Real Team of Rivals?
(Hi everyone, I'm the new guy, Pink Polo. The Pundit should adding my bio shortly. Below is my first post here at IDB, which is also crossposted on my blog, Theory in Practice. To get a sense of what you can expect from me, check that out – or my travelogue from 2006, the Pink Polo Goes to Africa. Anyway, here beginneth my first post. Hope you like it! – The Polo)
Amidst the media-driven furore surrounding the rollout of Pres.-Elect Obama's cabinet, and the "One President at a Time" message that has become a press meme over the last weeks of economic consternation in this country, there is a real, no-foolin', honest-to-goodness street fight for the governmental leadership of a major Western power: Canada.
Yup, America's Hat decided that what's good for those of us below the 49th Parallel might make sense for them too.
You might remember (though no one would blame you if you didn't) that Canada held a federal election less than 45 days ago. That election, despite some close polling just days before the election spurred on by the horrendous economic news that hit in October, was won handily by the Conservative Party, and the incumbent Prime Minister, Stephen Harper. There has been, however, no honeymoon period for the new government. As you've no doubt seen from the news in this country, the economic news has gone from "Holy Crap" to "Stockbroker Suicide Watch" to its current state, "China's Redheaded Stepchild" in a matter of what seemed like hours. Leading the charge to ignominy has been the automotive industry, especially General Motors, which has very quietly become one of the most unfathomably awfully run companies in the history of modern economics. Adam Smith himself, were he to come back from the dead, would take a look at GM's books and "future plans" and quietly cry himself to sleep reading a copy of The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money.
Would care to hazard a guess as to what one of Canada's largest employers is?
Yup. General Motors. Ford too, for that matter. Windsor, Ontario – just a Sarah Palin glance away from the rusting former automotive capital of Detroit – became a hub for car production over the last few decades thanks to Canada's national health care scheme, which helped (wait for it…wait for it) shave overhead costs while getting essentially the same quality of work.
Now, back to today's issues for our neighbours to the, uh, Nourth. As Pres.-Elect Obama has already begun tackling the severe economic crisis that he will face as President beginning the 20th of next January by touting his new team of advisers, promoting economic stimulus and infrastructural redevelopment across sectors, so too has Mr. Harper, the Canadian Premier set to work on a new budget that will drastically and directly affect the lives of ordinary Canadians who seek assurances that their government, as ever a world leader in the welfare of its citizens, will once again provide the safety net they need to survive this deep, globally interconnected recession.
So, as Mr. Harper presented his budget to the Parliament last week, what schemes might his Conservative government concoct to see Canada through rough seas? Increased unemployment benefits? Job retraining programs to keep workers at pace with global trends? An Obamaesque commitment to reinvestment in infrastructure?
The answer they got was very simple. Nothing.
The Harper government provided no economic stimulus in the new budget, not even one of his good buddy George W. Bush's ridiculous tax rebate debacles.
And that brings us to the extraordinary situation we see unfolding right above us as we speak. Almost immediately, the opposition parties saw their moment, and thus was born one of the oddest political marriages in Western political history. The three major players in this new arrangement – Canada has never had a formal coalition government since the end of the Dominion – come from very distinct political paths. First, the leader of the opposition, Stephane Dion, leader of the Liberal Party. Quebecois, and with a political mindset forged from the rule of his predecessor, Jean Chretien, Dion led his Liberal Party since defeat in the 2006 election, after the disgraced Paul Martin was forced out by a Conservative non-confidence vote, through this latest round of voting, which saw the worst Liberal defeats in the history of the Party. He was so reviled within his own party that he began the leadership fight to succeed him even before ballots were cast. At this moment, three men are lined up behind him, fighting it out for the position of Liberal leader from May 2009. His political obituary was written, in stone, over the last month, as he seemed bound and determined to leave his party in disarray.
And now, Stephane Dion is the clubhouse leader for Prime Minister in a new government that could be formed within days. Talk about zero to hero…
Also in the mix is the man who has very quietly risen to prominence as one of the most Progressive political leaders in the Western world, Jack Layton. Layton, an Ontarioan and leader of the New Democratic Party has very quickly made himself into a kingmaker of sorts in federal politics. By providing the roadmap back to governance for the Liberal Party, Layton was able to secure six cabinet positions in the proposed new government, as well as a number of lower-level bureaucratic positions of importance for his party. Layton, and the NDP's, influence will thus have much more of a broad impact under this arrangement, particularly given the leadership struggle in what would be the ruling party. Thus, while Layton's gamble does not necessarily cement the NDP as a force to be reckoned with on the federal stage, it does better serve his constituency than Ed Broadbent's fool's errand during the Trudeau period in the 1970s. This, then, is truly the exciting part of the story for progressives on both sides of the border, as Canada looks towards a more progressive stance as America's staunchest ally. Now, that's change you can believe in!
But here's where the story gets really, really (are you even still reading), and I mean, really interesting. Given the disastrous results for the Liberals in the October poll, the combined NDP/Liberal Alliance would represent only 44% of Canadian support and only 114 seats in the Parliament, as opposed to the Conservatives 37% and 143 seats, respectively. So, how do we get this idea off the ground? Mais oui! Le Bloc!
The Bloc Quebecois' 50 seats, and 10% of federal support would push the coalition government to a majority government, of sorts. So, done deal, right? Well…geh…okay, does anyone know the Bloc's single, solitary issue?
Health care? No. The economy? No.
Reinstituting the Quebec Nordiques' hockey franchise? No…well, okay, maybe that too?
Yeah, Le Bloc is the separatist party of Quebec. So now, this coalition Canadian government will be held up by a party whose sole purpose is to work for the "rightful" independence of one of its provinces. However, of all three men who entered into this compact in Ottawa this morning, Gilles Duceppe may be the one who made the critical misstep. First of all, he is now going to have problems at home with the hardcore separatists who will only see him ganging up with a Federalist Quebecois and the Anti-Conservative (BQ voters tend to be issue matched with the Conservative Party) Layton. And second, perhaps more critically, Duceppe has promised to not push a non-confidence motion of his own for eighteen months, effectively declawing Duceppe to hold his former rivals to the fire on issues of import to Quebecois voters. At the first sign of trouble, he should expect a leadership fight bubbling up from the PQ (the provincial wing of the party), especially given Duceppe's own inability to secure more seats in the Federal Parliament or push a referendum on independence in his nearly ten years as party leader.
Now, these three men sit at the same table, a partnership forged from practicality, not politics, putting country before party. This team of rivals can look forward only to uncharted waters and stormy seas, but, if they can make this almost farcical arrangement work, it may cement prosperity for Canadians for decades to come. And, hey, it's fun to watch for us Americans. (Okay, maybe just us political geeks…)

Did anyone else notice the almost-unibrow?
LMFAO.. I posted that in another picture and was coming here to post.
Unibrow for the win.
Drawn-on unibrow, no less.
She's retarded right? Has anyone actually heard her string two coherent sentences together?
One of these is an orange gourd decorated to either entice or frighten. The other is a pumpkin.
Skin discoloration AND a hungry for flesh look. Oh, I get it! She is a zombie. I am ashamed I missed this.
Unibrow and happy trail in almost every picture, or is that her spray tan running? Yes yes epitome of sexy!
This child is extremely unattractive.
so with all the $$ spent on bad plastic surgery , bad dye job and spray tan, she didn't bother to get her snaggle tooth fixed???
Whatever. She looked good. Just a bunch of jealous mommy types that saw hubby's eyes drifting.
CourtneyYay! Oh my goodness- I am at work and I just qseuaked out "Yay!" out loud and I am sure that everyone here thinks I am crazy. Soo excited! I would like the letter "A" for AceMan. And now I am going to have to go out and buy some pink and purple and green fabric and try to make one for Emerson because I am sure she will want one too! Thanks so much Paige!
I would introduce your eyebrows but it seems they have already met…

Need help with Snapper Drive system
Hi there...I'm new to this site and was hoping the experts out there could give me some pointers on a Snapper Hi-Vac I just bought. I searched the forums for this info and came up empty-handed.
The Snapper I bought used of course. It appears quite old and is the Hi-Vac variety with a steel deck. I can't tell what year or model it is, and to complicate things it does not have the original engine (it has a Honda HRC216 on it that starts first pull every time.)
The self-propel system does not work at all. It appears fairly simple to work on and I am fairly handy so I plan to work on it myself. The belts are there and though old, I'm guessing they are not the issue. I know many of you out there have rebuilt these and it's these experiences I would like to tap into. Please give any advice/pointers/things to look for/tell me off for posting incorrectly, etc.
I thank you in advance for all of the sage advice.
Replace the belt......and check to be sure the idler pulley is free and turning and the spring on it is working. Then adjust the spring going up to the handle to get the drive belt to engage.

AT&T has announced a deal with Verizon Wireless that will allow the company to continue to build out its 4G LTE network in the U.S., through the acquisition of 700 MHz spectrum from Verizon Wireless. The 700 MHz band was originally used to broadcast analog TV channels, but the transition to digital TV made them available for auction in 2008. Verizon won Block A during that auction, along with U.S. Cellular, with licenses covering urban areas, while AT&T was the biggest buyer, acquiring 227 licenses in the sale.
AT&T uses the 700 MHz spectrum to provide 4G LTE coverage to its customers in the U.S., along with spectrum in the AWS band. As part of the deal, it is providing licenses of the AWS spectrum in several markets, including LA, Fresno and Portland, to Verizon for use in the continued deployment of its network. AT&T's spectrum acquisition will allow it to deploy LTE covering 42 million people across 18 states, the company said in a press release.

Quaker Valley sophomore discovers recipe for helping others
Michael Scimio soon will get some real-life experience as a cook and, at the same time, help others as part of a school project.
The Quaker Valley sophomore will be the chef for a roast beef dinner fundraiser from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday at the Veterans of Foreign Wars hall in Leetsdale.
Proceeds from the dinner, which also will include potatoes, green beans, a drink and dessert, will go toward Tuesday's Children, a nonprofit organization that serves those directly affected by the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, including children, families and responders.
Scimio said he chose to offer the dinner because he always has loved to cook, is a culinary-arts student at Parkway West Career & Technology Center and wants to become a chef.
"So I wanted to put my skills to use for a good cause," he said.
The goal is to raise $1,000 in his 10th-grade project.
"I picked this charity because I feel that as time passes most people tend to forget the difficulties these families still face everyday," said Scimio, son of Paula and Paul Scimio of Leetsdale.
"Unfortunately, other tragedies happen and people give attention to those, and I wanted to let the people affected by 9/11 know that they are not forgotten."
Amanda Story, the Tuesday's Children events and public relations coordinator, said Scimio's fundraiser is "fantastic.
"There are great supporters of Tuesday's Children out there, and we are so lucky," she said.
Tuesday's Children was started in the wake of the events of 9/11 after it became apparent that someone had to stand up and help the families who lost loved ones that day, she said.
"The founding members were all from the tri-state area and saw the impact, felt the impact first hand," she said."We are, unfortunately, continuously adding new registrants who need our help to our programs. We will continue to provide programs for all of those affected by Sept. 11 for as long as they need us and we're able."

Sudan police throw teacher in jail for naming teddy bear Muhammad
What is wrong with these people??!! I'm paralysed with disbelief after reading a story that Sudanese police arrested a British schoolteacher and accused her of insulting Islam after she allowed her 7 year old pupils to name a class teddy bear Muhammad. She had asked the children to choose their favourite name for the new class mascot, which she was using to aid lessons about animals and their habitats. In a class vote, the pupils rejected her own suggestion of "Faris". They came up with eight names including Abdullah, Hassan and Muhammed with 20 out of 23 deciding to call the cuddly toy Muhammad – also the name of one of the class's most popular boys, and a very common Muslim name.
It would seem entirely natural that children would pick a familiar name, which also has some resonance for them, to name a mascot. How is this possibly an insult? Nobody is saying the Prophet is a teddy bear. For anyone to even suggest that is simply ridiculous. Islam is supposed to be able to grasp the abstract, rather than diminish everything to the concrete. That is why it talks about the believers as those who 'believe in the unseen'. This attitude shows a disappointing and almost quite comical literalism. Comical in its complete absurdity and small-mindedness. Comical, except for the poor teacher in question who must have been shell-shocked with this whole situation. And is now facing quite frightening (and entirely dispropotionate and shameful charges)
I don't believe naming a teddy bear 'Muhammed' is offensive. Children will often name their toys with names they like, or are familiar with, both of which apply in this case. Further, I don't believe that the lady in question meant any malice – she was simply offering the children the opportunity to reach a collective decision of their own, which was then agreed by the parents by letter. There does not appear to be any slur or insult intended at all – quite the reverse, the teddy seems to have been part of an education and literacy programme of which I'm sure the Prophet Muhammed would have been proud. My sympathies are with the lady, and I ask the Sudanese authorities to consider the substance of the matter rather than simply the sensationalist headlines. I also ask them to live up to the values of generosity, understanding, common sense and 'soft sweet words' which are the bastions of the Islamic ethos.
Naming a teddy bear is not an insult. But now this is turning into a power struggle with the poor woman caught in the middle.

The Salvation Army Thrift Store is offering a new way to get even better bargains - "Preferred Customer Status." Preferred customers receive special bargains every month, from 15-50 percent off and notification of those special sales. Sales are announced throughout the store and on the store's Facebook page which can be found at "The Salvation Army of Fond du Lac."
The next special sale for preferred customers is scheduled for Saturday, June 29, when all regularly priced items will be 50 percent off.
"Anyone can become a 'preferred customer,' says Michael Detert, the store manager. "You simply fill out a simple form, we give you a preferred customer card, and you're a Preferred Customer!"

Past Pupils
Greetings to all of our Past Pupils from the Past Pupils Committee.
When the Past Pupils Association was formed many years ago it had two objectives in mind; 1. To keep former pupils in touch with the school and one another, and, 2. To maintain a permanent Association with a close interest in the present and future welfare of the School. (Taken from the rules of the Association)
Each year it is a struggle to reform the Committee with enough interested members to carry on these objectives. Yet each year a small, but dedicated committee is formed. And it is thanks to the committee, who give generously of their time, that we are able to organize the Past Pupil Reunion.
In the last few years the reunions have become extremely successful. Past Pupils are delighted to visit the school and see all the changes. The short service in Calry Church brings back many memories of weekends at the boarding houses. This year we are delighted to welcome back Past Pupils who have not returned in fifty years.
However, the committee feels that the success of the reunion has been at the expense of the Associations second objective - to maintain a close interest in the present and future welfare of the School. The committee does not have enough man power to organize fundraisers in order to, as we have in the past, improve the facilities in the school. Recent projects include providing a set of six new cups for the sports day, and temporary outdoor lighting for the hockey pitch. There are many projects we would do if we could, including providing extra seating in the grounds and buying a folding stage to encourage the drama productions - the list goes on.
There are changes ( as yet undecided) and challenges ahead in the schools future. These changes will take time, but ultimately ensure the continuation of a school that we can be proud of.
As Past Pupils is there is any way that you feel that you can contribute to our two objectives, please do. Speak to any of the committee members or contact the committee through the school.
We encourage you to add your details to the guest book as many of our records need to be updated.
We hope to meet you at a reunion in the not to distant future.

Some at Occupy Boston have begun to focus more on the arts, from last week's pop-up art show to a new series of poetry readings aptly called OccuPoetry, which Suffolk Professor Fred Marchant of the English department, an admirer of the Occupy Movement, has decided to get involved in. He has participated in both OccuPoetry sessions held at Dewey Square. OccuPoetry is organized by Susie Davidson of the Boston Globe and, while nothing is finalized as of right now, there are plans to continue the series every Friday afternoon. The most recent OccuPoetry occurred on Friday in honor of Veterans Day.
Professor Marchant is a veteran himself, having served for two years in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War, until he was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector of the war – "one of the first Marine officers to ever have been honorably discharged" as such, according to Graywolf Press, a non-profit publisher. Marchant says he mainly objected to the senseless killing of innocent Vietnamese civilians, as can be seen clearly with the My Lai Massacre of 1968 in which nearly four hundred women, children, and elderly men were killed.
"This symbolized everything that was wrong with the war," says Marchant. And he feels the same way about today's wars. Still today, in Afghanistan and Iraq, Marchant sees the casual killing of civilians and the excessive collateral damage.
Marchant's first book was published in 1994, and it was around that time when he got involved with the William Joiner Center for the Study of War and Social Consequences at UMASS Boston. He has been reading and teaching with this center ever since. Through the William Joiner Center, Marchant has traveled to Vietnam several times. It is also how he got involved with OccuPoetry.
When asked why he admires the Occupy movement, Marchant says,"[For the longest time] we have been without a language for talking about the price we're paying for social inequalities. Occupy Wall Street has been creating a language to name the sources and causes of our suffering. I also really like the multi-generational quality of Occupy. It has found something in common across years. We are not the same age but we have the same issues; we're all citizens."
He also raised a point in regards to the critics of the movement — he doesn't understand why people feel that those involved in Occupy were just "supposed" to have a solution to these problems in our society — "the problems that the last five presidents have been struggling with. That just de-legitimizes it all," said Marchant.
The professor participated in the first OccuPoetry session several weeks ago, and after having a great experience he decided to read again at the second one, held on Veteran's Day. He was joined by about nine other readers; among them were students, professors, prominent occupiers, and those that were just visitors to Dewey Square for the day. Many of the poems did focus on Veterans Day and the Occupy Movement, but that was not at all a requirement.
Marchant read two powerful poems, one written by William Stafford, a conscientious objector of World War II, and the second written by him, entitled "Conscientious Objector Discharge," from his book The Looking House. Conscientious objection, or the refusal to participate in a war due to religious beliefs, morals, or ethics, has had great influence on Marchant's life, and it plays a prominent role in his writing, as could be heard with this poem. "You will need a lawyer to clear you, and a shrink to say you are sane, but they both know that already and are secretly glad to do something against this war." Its words resonated strongly with anyone in attendance questioning our current wars.
Davidson says that she plans to continue OccuPoetry after having two great first experiences. They are planned to be held every Friday afternoon at Dewey Square, and they are open to the public.

Walking the walk for the common good
In Ruskin, what is old is new again.
By MITCH TRAPHAGEN
RUSKIN — It was a beautiful morning for a walk. Drivers in cars honked and waved as a large group of people adorned in red t-shirts walked through neighborhoods in Ruskin. Those taking part in the walk could feel good about doing something for their community. Those honking and waving could feel good that their neighbors cared enough about their community to walk the walk, as it were. Those walking were putting (shoe) rubber to the road to help realize a dream: a cultural center in Ruskin.
Saturday was the fourth annual South Shore Cares Walk-a-thon sponsored by Keller Williams Realty and other area businesses. Though the charities and causes have changed each year, the commitment to the community has not. This year, the event, a three-mile walk through Ruskin, was to raise funds and awareness for the proposed Firehouse Cultural Center, a project of the Ruskin Community Development Foundation.
Art is one of the tenets upon which Ruskin was founded more than a century ago. The legacy of that spirit not only endures, it has spread from Sun City Center to Apollo Beach and Riverview. The Firehouse Cultural Center is an extension of that legacy, the quintessence of the spirit upon which South Hillsborough was settled. That members of the community joined together to walk towards the goal of realizing the proposed center is certainly fitting. Working together towards the common good is exactly what the founders hoped for all those years ago.
In Ruskin, what is old is new again. The current home of Hillsborough County Fire Rescue at 101 1st Avenue, NE, is land that was donated to the county decades ago by the Ruskin Commongood Society, the cooperative organization that formed Ruskin. Today, as the firefighters and first-responders prepare to move into their new building on College Avenue, the Board of County Commissioners has signaled approval of a plan to return the land and the building to the community. They have paved the way for the Firehouse Cultural Center, pending an acceptable financial plan for the center from the Ruskin Community Development Foundation (RCDF).
"I'm so excited about this project," said RCDF member Sandy Council. "This will mean so much to our community. The potential is limitless. The expertise of the group of people working on this have the ability to create a world-class facility; most certainly one of regional impact. Not to mention the potential to kick-start the redevelopment of the downtown."
According to Council, the word "Ruskin" was not included in the name of the center for a reason. Although the spirit of John Ruskin; the artist, architect, and philosopher whose writings and ideals formed the basis for the founding of the community, will be celebrated, the name was chosen to ensure the center represents not just Ruskin but all of South Hillsborough.
The RCDF, working with the Southshore Arts Council, hopes the cultural center will focus on the "full spectrum of the arts, and on education for all ages. [With] Center programs encouraging participation, engagement, discovery and learning. Firehouse Center will offer experiential connections to the arts and to the unique history, culture and natural environment of the south county region."
The hope is that the center will inspire not only artists and the public appreciation for art but also more matter-of-fact pursuits, acting as a spark for the revitalization of downtown Ruskin. With the waterfront community becoming a leading regional magnet for tourism, the possibilities for new, and locally owned businesses in that district appears promising. The Firehouse Cultural Center could give rise to a renaissance for not only the arts in the region but also for business, the residents and those who visit.
But it all comes down to money. The Board of County Commissioners, while supporting the project, wants to see a viable financial plan before handing over the land and the old firehouse. According to Council, the expenses are easy enough to tally, including tens of thousands of dollars that would be needed to make the current firehouse restrooms ADA-compliant. The revenue is more difficult to tally. In order for this project of regional scope to take off, regional support from the public will be required. Currently, the center is supported by the RCDF; the Arts Council of Hillsborough County; the Southshore Arts Council; the University of South Florida, School of Art & Art History; along with south county businesses such as Keller Williams Realty and the Ruskin Redneck Trading Company. The biggest impact, however, will be in the hands — and the wallets — of south county residents themselves.
What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.
— John Ruskin
John Ruskin passed away a decade before his Florida namesake community was founded but his words still echo through thousands of posts on Twitter and Facebook, along with countless web pages. Certainly his spirit lives on in the few dozen people adorned in red t-shirts emblazoned with the words "South Shore Cares" who walked through neighborhoods to help build something for the betterment of the community at large. Indeed, what they did is what matters.

Assistant Golf Coach
Brian Craig returns for his second season as assistant golf coach, after playing under head coach Buddy Alexander from 1988-1992. Craig returned to Gainesville to help coach the Gators in 1997, helping the team to a tie for fourth place in the SEC and a 14th-place finish at the NCAA Championships last season.
Prior to returning to Gainesville, Craig played professionally on several Mini Tours. He ended the 1996 season ranked 15th on the money list on the Golden Bear Tour. Craig competed in the 1994 U.S. Open and placed sixth in the 1994 Jamaican Open. He also won the 1995 Northwoods Classic on the PowerBilt Tour and one event on the Future Majorz Tour in 1996. He finished 11th on the money list on the Powerbilt Tour in 1995.
He replaced Nicky Goetze, who was named the head coach at the University of Texas El Paso in September, 1997.
Craigs responsibilities include coordinating the Gator Golf Camps as well as working with players in practice and helping with recruiting.
"We are very fortunate to have someone capable, like Brian, to step in and not miss a beat," said Alexander. "He has a lot of enthusiasm and experience as a player and will make a great coach."
Craig, 28, graduated with honors in 1992 from the University of Florida in economics. In 1992, he was named to the Golf Coaches Association All-Academic team and was a three-time SEC Academic Honor Roll selection, ending his UF career ranked 26th in all-time rounds played at Florida (64). He was a member of the both the 1992 SEC and East Regional Championship teams. His best finish as a Gator was a fourth-place finish at the 1991 Gator Invitational. He also ranks 18th in UF school history with seven top-20 finishes and 15th with five top-10 finishes.
Craig was an accomplished amateur and junior golfer. He was the sixth low amateur in the 1990 Carolinas Open and took sixth place in the 1990 Amateur at Brick Landing. He also tied for 15th at the 1990 Southern Amateur and advanced to the semifinals in the 1987 North Carolina Amateur Championships. As a junior golfer, Craig won the 1984 and 1986 North Carolina PGA Junior Championship. He also won the 1984 Southern Golf Association Junior Championship and North/South Junior Championship.
Born August 20, 1969, Craig is a native of Gastonia, N.C.

|Treatment of primary aldosteronism: Where are we now?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21305359 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Primary aldosteronism (PA) is an important cause of secondary hypertension, is being increasingly diagnosed and may account for more than 10% of hypertensive patients, both in primary care and in referral centers. Aldosterone excess is associated with adverse cardiovascular, renal and metabolic effects that are in part hypertension-independent. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy remains the mainstay of treatment for unilateral forms of PA, whereas medical treatment is recommended for bilateral forms of PA. However, a favourable surgical outcome depends on several factors and many patients are not suitable for this treatment. On the other hand, surgery in patients considered to have bilateral PA may contribute to better blood pressure control. In this review, established and novel strategies for the management of different types of PA are discussed.

Until somebody figures out how to build a car that doesn't rely on a battery, dead batteries will remain the bane of all motorists. While we recently discussed how to choose the right replacement battery for your car, properly maintaining and charging your car's battery will prevent battery failures and keep you from unnecessarily having to replace your battery.
One of the major causes of battery failure is improper maintenance of the battery itself or the attached terminals and cables. Corrosion of the battery posts and the cables that attach to it can reduce the ability of the charging system to re-invigorate the battery and lead to a constantly undercharged battery that could let you down when you least expect it. Proper cleaning of the terminals and replacement of frayed cables will ensure the charging amps being produced by the alternator or generator are making their way into the battery. For those traditional batteries that still have removable caps, the water level inside should also be periodically checked. The battery will not recharge to its full potential unless the plates inside the battery are covered in electrolyte. As the battery charges, the chemical reaction releases water vapor, which will lower the water level in the battery. Once the level becomes too low, the battery will not accept a charge or a jump start. New batteries no longer have caps to inspect; however, they still use a venting system. On some sealed batteries, the vapor is reclaimed, while many import car non-sealed batteries use a vent tube that expels vapor and gases safely away from the battery.
For recharging a dead battery, there are several different types of battery chargers to consider. The fastest method is the jump box or commercial fast charger with a boost mode. These chargers will provide a sufficient jump charge of amps in place of your bad battery, and the charging system should produce enough amps to maintain the electrical system until the battery can be fully recharged. Jump boxes usually provide between 500 and 1,200 amps of boost for starting, but they are not meant to be used as a charger. Commercial chargers will recharge a battery quickly at a high amp rate, usually 60 to 100 amps per hour and will have a separate boost switch for jump starting that provides 50 to 250 amps for starting power. Commercial chargers will also have a timer that can be preset to protect the battery from overcharging.
Most home-use chargers are medium-duty units that charge your battery at between 5 and 50 amps. Features may include a small boost charger, timer or automatic shut-off that senses when the battery is approaching full charge and shuts itself off. These smaller battery chargers take longer to complete a recharge, but are less likely to cause damage to your battery over a commercial fast rate unit.
When storing a car over several weeks or months, the possibility of the battery discharging while at rest is another concern. Newer vehicles have computers and other power accessories that remain active while the car is at rest, and these electrical items can slowly drain a battery until it no longer has enough cranking amps to start the vehicle. For this reason, trickle chargers have become widely popular. The trickle charger produces a constant small amp charge, usually 2 amps or less, that keeps the battery fully charged while at rest. The trickle charger can also keep the battery from freezing in extreme cold because the chemical reaction it causes during the recharge process produces a small amount of heat. Some of the 500 milliamp chargers still need to be monitored and disconnected periodically; however, most trickle chargers you see on the market today have an automatic shut-off and turn-on mode that will maintain your battery over extended periods of time without constant checking.
Most battery manufacturers recommend that you use a trickle charger to recharge a discharged battery. Because the amp ratings are low, the trickle charger can efficiently bring the battery back up to full charge slowly without causing any excess heat or sulfating caused by chargers with larger amp rates. Although the trickle-charge process can take days to complete a recharge, several manufacturers recommend that it is the only way to "top off" the charge on their batteries. Faster rate/higher amp jump boxes, commercial or medium-duty chargers can be used to get a dead battery strong enough to start your car; however, the battery should still be finish-charged with a trickle charger regardless of which charger you use initially.
If you are considering outfitting a garage or storage area for your car, it is recommended that you invest in both a trickle charger and a larger unit with an emergency boost mode to cover all bases. Known brand names such as Schauer, Exide, Battery Tender, Die Hard and Schumacher may be more expensive, but have been found to be more reliable and longer-lasting than cheaper models. Brand name units can also be rebuilt, while cheaper units are often bounced off the wall or driven over in anger when they fail.
A few cautions about using jumper cables. First, make sure both vehicles share the same voltage and either positive or negative grounding before attempting to use jumper cables. Most (but not all) six-volt systems are positive grounds and most (but not all) 12-volt systems are negative grounds, but check to make sure, especially with British cars. Crossing wires or supplying too much voltage will cause a battery to explode or leave you with two vehicles in need of a jump. Additionally, after hooking up the vehicle to be charged first, install the positive on the vehicle supplying the juice and the negative to a convenient ground on the block instead of the negative battery terminal. This ensures that, if there is a spark when the last collection is made, it will not be near the battery where gases could ignite.
I have been using the Battery Tender Junior model on several batteries for years. The oldest is in a car I drive once a year or less. Prior to the Battery Tender I was putting a battery in that car at least every two years. The battery in that car is now over 8 years old. Fantastic product…and, no, I am not affiliated with Battery Tender in any way.
We used to have new (GM) vehicles come in, especially during the winter, with the batteries next to dead. Charging them for an entire weekend couldn't bring them back, so the batteries got sent to the battery recycle bin and new ones were installed under warranty. Then we got a new Divisional Service Manager who told us that the Delco batteries with the green (Delco Eye) had a unique acid formula (his words, I never bothered to check for myself) and thus needed some hefty jump starting in order to stir up things inside. He told us to use the big charger and toggle back and forth from boost to fast until we could see the green 'eye' bobbing around in the sight glass. Then put it on a moderate charge until the green showed steady. Finish with a trickle charge to cool things down. Following that formula our warranty scrap rate dropped to zero.
You're right. Sometimes a dead battery won't start accepting a charge unless you zap it first with some pretty heavy amperage, but then it's best to use a trickle charge to let it charge slowly. A Battery Tender is great at keeping the battery from sulfating and freezing while not in use and greatly increases the life of a battery. I own Batteries Plus in Burton, MI, so I've seen it several times. If you are storing an RV, boat, motorcycle, lawn tractor or classic car through the winter consider the use of a tender.
I'm seeing 'float chargers' being advertised – where do they fit in the picture? Is that another name for a trickle charger?
float chargers are the same as trickle chargers with automatic shutoffs. Usually less than 2 amps but good for over winter maintenance.
Batteries are probably one of the things that differentiate the novice from the experienced driver. When I buy a [used] car, I always buy a new battery immediately, and tend to the terminals and associated wiring, having remembered many, many escapades involving standing in the rain by the side of the road while the rest of the world drives by my dead car.
This may sound selfish, but I NEVER carry jumper cables, due to the potential for killing my alternator. Call me paranoid, but you never can tell when the person you're helping will , say, pull off the positive lead and accidentally arc it against the ground, leaving you helpless, and with an expensive repair for your Good Samaritanism. During those few times I've needed it, AAA is usually there within an hour.
BTW is it possible to top up a non-sealed battery that does not have removable caps? Sealed batteries seem to be the way to go, and you failed to mention that you should only use DISTILLED water for topping up.
Otherwise, another excellent article!
I have great results with small 12V solar chargers on my tractors, outside all winter. But had some dry out on those with caps.
Distilled water only; how about rain water, or adding fresh acid?
Was very disappointed with a deep-cycle Optima battery that lost power.
No Acid, you never lose the acid potency just the water vapor, so adding acid just creates more gases. Batteries in the seventies were often "hyperspun" which was a process that added acid to wet the plates and add a small charge, then they were spun on a centrifuge to remove the acid, so the batteries would be lighter to ship and technically "dry' .
Years ago we used to get vehicles in the shop that had broken batteries due to collision. I repaired a hundred of them that had broken cases but otherwise were good. I'd top them up with acid from ones beyond repair, and never bought a new battery. I had one of these I pirated from a 70's Toronado in a 1963 Pontiac four door hardtop for over ten years, and it never did cause a problem, summer or winter. Needless to say none of my friends had to buy a battery either. Todays batteries are a fraud on the consumer when compared with those old heavy weights.
Interesting. In NY state, battery acid is like compression fittings, the sales person can sell them to you if you ask for them, but if you tell them you are using the acid to refill a battery or the compression fitting to repair a brake line, the salesperson cannot, by law, sell them to you without assuming partial liability. Found this out after a local auto parts store lost a 4 million dollar law suit. 1-ton pickup carrying 3 tons of scrap had brakes fail going down a hill, caused by a $2.00 1/4-inch brass compression fitting. The acid was also mentioned during the trial proceedings. Of course this was 15 years ago, but I doubt the laws have gotten any more lax since then.
Have a railroad caboose in Oregon that all systems run on 12v dc. Use a " Battery Tender" to keep deep cycle battery charged all year long and works quite well.
Lots of stories with some good info. I found over the years that engines that were maintained so they started quickly with minimum cranking had the longest lasting batteries. Excessive cranking heated the battery cable connections expanding the clamps then cooling off to form a gap that required more current to bridge the gap and eventual failure.
Something to think about is to use a "smart" battery charger, as those devices are programmed to be the most flexible.
If you have a fully-discharged battery — which we'll call is one that doesn't allow you to start the car — in order to fully recharge it you want to:
1. feed it current at a (higher) constant voltage for an extended period; this will cause amps to gradually lower over time as the potential between the two (charger & battery) becomes slower, but does the most work at putting energy back into the battery
2. feed it energy at a constant (low) current, I forget the mechanism of what this does but it basically (in my mind) "polishes off" the battery so it keeps the energy introduced in # 1
That's why, if you use a smart charger, you may wonder why it takes so long with the charge current changing radically. If I correctly remember my battery theory, an equalizing charger / battery tender is basically # 2 above.
"Until somebody figures out how to build a car that doesn't rely on a battery…"
Uhm, crank start and magneto? A few people have figured that out already! 😀
I have that model. Its a ford model T
My 55 T-bird has no small drain on the bat. like newer cars. After winter in unheated garage with no charger, cranks up fine. Mobile 1 oil really helps lighten the load.
My experience with Duralast bats has been excellent; can't remember how old it is. Have another one in 91 T-bird SC with every accessory its old & great. (not affiliated)
I've had a few years experience with batteries as many of us over 70 have. My best battery to date has been a jell filled unit lasting so far 10 years in a 99 Silverado which has constant drain from the computer and radio system. But it still comes back to maintenance of the vehicle. Any battery will not last with improper maintenance
"at a high amp rate, usually 60 to 100 amps per hour."
Sorry to be pedantic, but "60 to 100 amps per hour" is not a valid statement. The "per hour" is redundant. 100 amps for 1 hour would be 100Ah and that is a quantity of electricity.

Community activist priest and Silicon Valley executive are featured commencement speakers
June ceremonies also will award honorary degrees
The 153rd Santa Clara University Commencement ceremonies for undergraduate and graduate programs on June 11 and 12 will feature speeches by a community activist priest and by a Silicon Valley executive.
Gregory J. Boyle, S.J., who works with youth gangs in Los Angeles, will speak at the Saturday morning, June 12, undergraduate commencement in Buck Shaw Stadium.
Approximately 1,200 undergraduate degrees will be conferred from the College of Arts and Sciences and the schools of engineering and business.
Willem "Wim" Roelandts, a former Hewlett-Packard executive in his native Belgium and current CEO of Xilinx, will speak at the evening graduate commencement Friday, June 11, in the Leavey Center.
It will be the first commencement in the remodeled athletics arena. Boyle will be awarded an honorary Doctor of Faith and Justice degree at the 8:30 a.m. undergraduate ceremonies on June 12.
Also at the undergraduate commencement, former professional football player Ronnie Lott will receive an honorary Doctor of Public Service, and Sister Barbara Flannery, CSJ, will receive an honorary Doctor of Religious Education.
Boyle is the founder and executive director of two programs, the Jobs For a Future employment referral center, and the Homeboy Industries economic development program, that serve at-risk and gang-involved youth in the Los Angeles area. The Los Angeles native received bachelor's and master's degrees from Gonzaga University and master's degrees from Loyola Marymount, the Weston School of Theology, and the Jesuit School of Theology.
A former high school teacher, he was a prison chaplain in Mexico and Folsom, Calif., and pastor of the Dolores Mission. He is a nationally renowned speaker at conferences for teachers, social workers and criminal justice workers, stressing the importance of adult attention, guidance and unconditional love in preventing youth from joining gangs.
Wim Roelandts
Roelandts has been CEO of Xilinx since 1996. Prior to Xilinx, he spent 30 years at Hewlett-Packard starting as a service engineer in his native Belgium and ending his career there as a senior vice president in charge of the company's $6 billion computer systems business. Roelandts is on the boards of the Semiconductor Industry Association; the Fabless Semiconductor Association; and Santa Clara University's Center for Science, Technology, and Society. He also helps raise awareness and funding for a host of community causes.
Barbara Flannery, CSJ
Flannery is a member of the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet and has been Chancellor of the Catholic Diocese of Oakland since 1994. With her leadership, the Oakland Diocese has become a model for how the church can help victims and those priests who are accused of sexual abuses.
As an outgrowth of meeting many victims of clergy sexual abuse, Flannery helped develop the Ministry for Survivors of Clergy Sexual Abuse, which has planned a campaign titled "No More Secrets" encouraging victims of clergy sex abuse to come forward.
Ronnie Lott
Lott is best known as a Hall of Fame football player, but he also has been a leader in community service. His 14-year NFL career culminated in his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In 1989, he founded All Stars Helping Kids, a non-profit organization which helps disadvantaged youth in the Bay Area. The organization created an All Stars Technology Room and children's garden at UCSF Children's Hospital. In 2001, Lott founded Olympius Capital, a minority-controlled firm committed to enhancing diversity in the financial services industry.
In 2002, Lott was selected to join The Guardsmen, a service organization of business and professional members devoted to advancing at-risk Bay Area youth by funding indoor and outdoor educational programs. He is a graduate of the University of Southern California.

Gynecologic laparoscopy refers to a group of procedures that use a small camera to examine the female reproductive organs.
See also:
Exploratory laparoscopy - gynecologic; Laparoscopic tubal ligation; Laparoscopic oophorectomy; Laparoscopic hysterectomy; Laparoscopic egg harvest
The procedure is usually done in the hospital under general anesthesia. A thin tube (catheter) is inserted through the urethra into the bladder. Another tube, called a nasogastric (NG) tube, may be passed through the nose and into the stomach to empty your stomach.
After cleaning the area, a small surgical cut is made above or below the belly button area. Carbon dioxide gas is injected into the area to raise the abdominal wall. This makes a larger space to work in and makes it easier for the surgeon to see and work with the organs.
The laparoscope is then inserted so that the surgeon can examine the organs of the pelvis and abdomen. Other small cuts may be needed.
After the procedure, the cuts are closed with stitches and covered with bandages. Depending upon the operation, a drain may be placed into one of the areas to drain any fluid that may build up.
Do not eat or drink for 8 hours before the test.
If you are under general anesthesia, you will feel no pain during the procedure. However, the surgical cuts may throb and be slightly painful afterward.
If you get a local anesthetic, you may feel a prick and a burning sensation. You may have pain at the site of the surgical cut. Afterward, the cuts may throb for several hours and may be slightly painful.
Your health care provider may give you a pain reliever.
You may also have shoulder pain for a few days, because the carbon dioxide gas used to inflate your abdomen can irritate your diaphragm, which shares some of the same nerves as the shoulder. You may also have an increased urge to urinate, because the gas can put pressure on the bladder.
Depending on the procedure you have done, your health care provider may advise you to avoid eating and drinking for a period of time afterward.
Gynecologic laparoscopy is done for the same reasons as open surgery.
Laparoscopy can be used to:
Abnormal results vary based on the type of procedure.
There is a risk of puncturing an organ. This could cause the contents of the intestines to leak, or lead to bleeding into the abdominal cavity. This may need more involved surgery. Severe injury may result in infection or the need for a blood transfusion.
Women who have already had surgery to the abdomen or pelvis may not be able to have laparoscopic surgery.
Surgery can lead to scarring, which prevents laparoscopic instruments from safely passing into the area. Scarring may also prevent the abdominal wall from being pushed out of the way properly when the carbon dioxide is injected.

A state senator who accidentally killed his granddaughter mentions the death in a fundraising e-mail that's drawing criticism for tying the tragedy to a request for donations.
Democratic Sen. Dave Hansen's fundraising request was posted on several conservative blogs and discussed on a talk radio show in his hometown of Green Bay. The letter talks about the July tragedy next to Internet links urging supporters to "Contribute now via credit card HERE!"
"I was shocked," said Republican political consultant Brian Fraley, who posted the message on his blog. "I don't think the Hansen tragedy should be an issue in his re-election campaign, but how his campaign is attempting to exploit that tragedy for fundraising purposes certainly is an issue."
Jane Hansen, the senator's wife, issued a statement in response to the criticism of the letter.
"It was meant to be a beautiful thing, and I feel terrible that the Republicans are using a tragedy for political gain," she said. "I think this is morally wrong."
She said her husband was unavailable to comment.
Jason Childress, who is coordinating the re-election campaigns of Senate Democrats, declined to comment.
The controversy could easily have been avoided if Hansen had sent one letter mentioning how he was dealing with his granddaughter's death and then another asking for money, said Mordecai Lee, a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee political scientist and former Democratic lawmaker.
"I think Senator Hansen faced a difficult choice that I'm not sure other people in the exact same circumstances would have made," Lee said.
Fraley and Lee agreed that Hansen's talking about his personal tragedy in a fundraising letter opened it to criticism.
Republican officials weren't talking about it Friday. The party's executive director, Mark Jefferson, declined to comment, and party Chairman Reince Priebus did not immediately return a message.
No Republican opponent has emerged in the race to take on Hansen, who is in his second term. The filing deadline is July 8 for the race to be decided next November.
In the letter, Hansen said as he and his family "mourn the loss of our little angel" he decided "God has blessed me with the chance to serve the people for a reason." Jane Hansen said not a minute goes by that they aren't grieving and wishing the accident never happened.
Hansen, 59, was backing out of the driveway of his home on July 13 and didn't notice that his 23-month-old granddaughter, Elliana Zaidel, was behind the car. Police determined it was a "tragic, unfortunate accident," and Hansen was not charged with a crime.
Since then, Hansen's family has established a charitable fund in the girl's memory. A fundraiser for that fund was set for today.
In a letter e-mailed to his supporters, Hansen describes how he and his family received thousands of calls and letters of support, including from Republicans. Within the letter is a link to a news story with him talking about the accident.
"My family and I have decided that now, more than ever, the best way to say thank you to a state and community which has given us so much is to continue the efforts we started," Hansen said in the e-mail.
He ends the message by saying he's never been "particularly fond of asking people for money," but it's necessary in order to win. He then includes details about where to send donations.

A multicore FLAC encoder

Maybe you already know fpMP3Enc, my multicore MP3 encoder...
This time, I'd like to introduce my multicore FLAC encoder. You can download the binaries here.
The package contains Win32 binaries for XP, Vista and 7, and Win64 binaries for Vista and 7.
The FLAC encoder is part of my "fpStream" project. The command-line to convert a WAV file to FLAC is as follows:
FPSTREAM.EXE readfile in -f <wav-filename> + wavin wav -s in + fpflacenc enc -s wav [-<compression level>] + writefile out -s enc -f <flac-filename>
The benchmarks so far:
I used the same test suite as in fpMP3Enc (Intel Q9450, 61 WAV files, about 5 hours playing time). The compression level was 5. The files were encoded one after the other, not in parallel.
- flac 1.2.1: 3 min 26 secs
- fpFLAC x64: 1 min 13 secs
So, the speedup was 2.8x. This is quite good if you consider that this version does not contain any SSE optimizations.
What's missing:
- SSE optimizations
- Metadata support (tags, seek points etc.)
- free of bugs
And some limitations:
- Win32 version: The total WAV file size sum must not exceed 400MiB(? - not sure).
- Win64 version: The total WAV file size sum must not exceed 400GiB.
- Input: WAV 16-bit stereo, 44.1kHz
Comments and feedback are welcome!

These little creatures can be found near the dark, warm places of the home (ovens, furnaces, fireplaces, bed, clothes dryer). They have a very unique tapered shape and can appear to be very flat. The most noticeable feature of the Silverfish besides their silver-gray color are the three thread-like tails found at tip of the abdomen.
Silverfish are drawn to dry starchy substances commonly found in pantries. The glue that binds old book pages together is also appetizing to Silverfish. This explains why they might also be found in the pages of old books, or running around libraries: the printing material used in these items is a food source. Amazingly, Silverfish can live for months without eating. They are harmless to humans, though their presence is usually considered a nuisance.
Silverfish bodies are covered with flexible and slippery scales that protect the insect from capture from larger insects such as spiders. This body covering also allows them to neatly fit within the binding edge of a closed book and feed on the paste.
Another interesting facet about these critters is in the time that they take to mature. Southern Silverfish can see adulthood in 24 months whereas Northern-based Silverfish will take longer. No doubt this is due to the warmer temperatures of the Southern states.
Category: Bristletail
Common name: Silverfish
Scientific Name: Lepisma saccharina
Other Names: Fishmoth
Adult Size (Length): 10mm to 12mm (0.39in to 0.47in) COMPARE
