Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
Dr. Talcott did not report having any of the following types of financial relationships with industry during 2014 and/or 2015: consulting, scientific advisory board, industry-sponsored lectures, service on Board of Directors, participation on industry-sponsored committees, equity ownership valued at greater than 5% of a publicly traded company or any value in a privately held company. Please note that this information may differ from information posted on corporate sites due to timing or classification differences.
Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
Insurance Information
Physicians who provide services at hospitals and facilities in the Mount Sinai Health System might not participate in the same health plans as those Mount Sinai hospitals and facilities (even if the physicians are employed or contracted by those hospitals or facilities).

Let me give my two cents:
I have the D70s (which I won in a sales contest, that makes owning it kosher lol) and I do use limitedly (pretty much only for band photography of my buddies bands) and I have shot the D2X, and it is an impressive camera, but in my opinion it just doesn't stand up to a 4X5. Its sacrafising quality to save money and time. If everyone did that then there would be no qualilty products in this world.
Though I love my F100 with TTL flash, its a godsent in flash photography.

Reassessing the Role of Nuclear Weapons
Kimball, Daryl G., Arms Control Today
Beginning Jan. 20, U.S. nuclear weapons policy can and must change. The U.S.-Soviet standoff that gave rise to tens of thousands of nuclear weapons is over, but the policies developed to justify their possession and potential use remain largely the same.
Previous post-Cold War efforts to update the U.S. nuclear posture fell woefully short. Deployed arsenals have been halved, yet the United States and Russia still retain approximately 5,000 warheads each, mainly to deter a surprise attack by the other. Current policies also call for the possible use of nuclear weapons to defend U.S. forces and allies against conventional attacks and counter suspected chemical or biological weapons threats.
There is broad agreement that yesterday's nuclear doctrines are no longer appropriate for today's realities. If President Barack Obama wants to fulfill his promise to "dramatically reduce" U.S. and Russian arsenals, restore leadership needed to strengthen the nonproliferation system, and make the elimination of nuclear weapons "a central element of U.S. nuclear policy," he should redefine and radically reduce the role of nuclear weapons.
There is no conceivable circumstance that requires or could justify the use of nuclear weapons to deal with a non-nuclear threat. Given the United States' conventional military edge and the twin threats of proliferation and terrorism, nuclear weapons are a greater security liability than an asset.
As an eminent National Academies of Science panel concluded more than a decade ago, "[T]he only remaining, defensible function of U.S. nuclear weapons in the post-Cold War era is 'core deterrence': using the threat of retaliation to deter other countries that possess nuclear weapons from using them to attack or coerce the United States or its allies."
According to the panel, which included Obama's new White House science adviser, John Holdren, this approach would also eliminate any need "to develop and test nuclear weapons of new types for new purposes."
If Obama directs the Pentagon to conduct a congressionally mandated nuclear posture review on the basis of this "core deterrence" mission, then Washington and Moscow could each slash their respective arsenals to 1,000 or fewer total warheads. This would open the way for Obama to fulfill his campaign pledge to initiate "a high-level dialogue among all the declared nuclearweapon states on how to... move toward meaningful reductions and the eventual elimination of all nuclear weapons."
Unfortunately, a bipartisan congressional commission formed last year to advise Obama on the nuclear posture review appears to be plagued by "oldthink." Its December 2008 interim report accepts antiquated assumptions about the value of nuclear deterrence and implies that the United States is on the brink of losing the capability to maintain its nuclear weapons. …

What the Body Does Not Remember
Abbey Theatre from May 16th to 18th 2013
The show first premiered in 1987 and it created a new landscape for dance. It was the first work from Wim Vandekeybus and Ultima Vez.
Audiences can prepare for bricks to be thrown across the stage and for bodies to be seen colliding in the mid air of the stage. This risky choreography is not normal body language but 15 years on this gripping show is still stunning audiences.
Tickets for this show are priced from 18.00 to 35.00 Euro.

Nicholas Wade reports in the New York Times:
… Read the rest
In the Oaxaca Valley of Mexico, the archaeologists Joyce Marcus and Kent Flannery have gained a remarkable insight into the origin of religion.
During 15 years of excavation they have uncovered not some monumental temple but evidence of a critical transition in religious behavior. The record begins with a simple dancing floor, the arena for the communal religious dances held by hunter-gatherers in about 7,000 B.C. It moves to the ancestor-cult shrines that appeared after the beginning of corn-based agriculture around 1,500 B.C., and ends in A.D. 30 with the sophisticated, astronomically oriented temples of an early archaic state.
This and other research is pointing to a new perspective on religion, one that seeks to explain why religious behavior has occurred in societies at every stage of development and in every region of the world. Religion has the hallmarks of an evolved behavior, meaning that it exists because it was favored by natural selection.

text: First Lady Calls Herself 'Busy Single Mother' Michelle Obama quickly corrects herself in TV interview By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted Apr 5, 2013 10:59 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (38) (Newser) – A Vermont TV station's interview with the first lady is getting lots of attention for unintended reasons, notes Mediaite. In the course of talking about the demands on busy parents, Michelle Obama slipped up and referred to herself as a "busy single mother" before quickly correcting herself. The excerpt from WCAX: "Believe me, as a busy single mother—or, I shouldn't say 'single.' As a busy mother." Then: "Sometimes when you've got the husband who's president it can feel a little single, but he's there."

Good Summer Listens
Not the Typical Self-Improvement Book
This is how: proven aid in overcoming shyness, molestation, fatness, spinsterhood, grief, disease, lushery, decrepitude & more — for young and old alike by Augusten Burroughs — According to Amazon.com reviewer Mari Malcolm: In writing and in life, Augusten Burroughs has repeatedly summoned the courage to grab the wolves of his past by their foaming muzzles and peer into their wild eyes until he owns them — and because of this, he's survived nearly every horrific experience a person in a modern-day, first-world country could face and emerged as an astonishingly well-adjusted person. After turning his profoundly messed-up early life and its alcoholic aftermath into six harrowing, uplifting memoirs — including Running with Scissors and Dry — Burroughs lost interest in writing about himself.

Chris Yenkey joined Chicago Booth in 2011 as Assistant Professor of Organizations and Strategy. Professor Yenkey's primary research interest is in extending sociological theories of social diversity, segregation, and inter-group trust into the analysis of market development. This line of work is exemplified by his work on multiple aspects of investor participation in Kenya's frontier stock market, the Nairobi Securities Exchange. Here, he analyzes how ethnic group boundaries influence the transmission of market information through a diverse society and how coethnicity paradoxically increases investors' vulnerability to fraud without reducing their trust in the market. The causes and consequences of fraud are the focus of an additional line of research, where he studies the social influences that lead actors to engage in corrupt practices as well as how organizations respond to corrupt acts.
Professor Yenkey's dissertation research on the social foundations of market construction in East Africa received several awards in 2011, including the William H. Newman Best Dissertation Paper Award from the Academy of Management, the Louis R. Pondy Best Paper Award from the Organization and Management Theory Division of the AOM, and the Ronald S. Burt Outstanding Paper Award from the American Sociological Association's Section on Economic Sociology.
While earning his PhD in Sociology at Cornell University, Yenkey served as a visiting scholar at the Institute for Economic Affairs in Nairobi, Kenya. More recently, he was Associate Director of the Center for the Study of Economy and Society at Cornell University from 2010-11. Prior to his graduate studies, Yenkey received a BA in Economics from the University of Texas-Austin in 2001 and served as a Research Associate in the Department of Economic Research at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City from 2001-03.
When he's not studying the social construction of markets, Chris prefers to be with his family, exercising outside, or some combination of the two.

Yenkey, Christopher B. Forthcoming. "Mobilizing a Market: Ethnic Segmentation and Investor Recruitment into Kenya's Nascent Stock Market." Administrative Science Quarterly.
This paper studies how actors from diverse and competing social groups can come to identify as members of a common market rather than agents of their discrete social group. The goals of the paper are to identify the mechanisms driving social segmentation in a nascent market and strategies for integrating disparate groups. The empirical context is the recruitment of domestic investors into Kenya's nascent stock market, a setting characterized by weak formal institutions and high levels of inter-ethnic distrust. Rather than exhibit a blanket preference for homophilous peers, potential investors increasingly attend to prior performance experiences of coethnics where local exposure to corrupt financial organizations is higher and where the market is increasingly identified with distrusted political rivals. Inter-ethnic residential and religious integration moderate this pattern of distrust, but results suggest that the most effective strategy to achieve inter-ethnic integration is through the use of national rather than ethnic language advertising campaigns to reframe the market as a common social identity. Implications of these findings for organization theory, economic development, and the sociological study of markets are discussed.
With Palmer, David. In press. "Drugs, Sweat, and Gears: An Organizational Analysis of Performance Enhancing Drug Use in the 2010 Tour de France," Social Forces.
This paper seeks a more comprehensive explanation of wrongdoing in organizations by theorizing two underexplored causes of wrongdoing related to an organizational participant's embeddedness in formal organizational structures and informal peer relationships: the criticality of a person's role in their organization's division of labor, and their social ties to deviant peers within their organization and industry who vary with respect to their experience with social control agents. We investigate how these factors influenced wrongdoing in the context of professional cyclists' use of banned performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) in advance of the 2010 Tour de France. This empirical setting provides two advantages: it permits evaluation of a wider range of potential determinants of wrongdoing than is conventionally possible, and it allows for the use of a measure of wrongdoing that is not subject to the type of bias that plagues most previously used indicators. We find substantial support for our prediction that actors who perform critical organizational roles are more likely to engage in wrongdoing. Further, we find that while undifferentiated social ties to known wrongdoers did not increase the likelihood of wrongdoing, ties to unpunished offenders increased the probability of wrongdoing and ties to severely punished offenders decreased it. These effects were robust to consideration of other known causes of wrongdoing in organizations: weak governance regimes and permissive cultural contexts, performance strain, and individual propensities to engage in wrongdoing.

There are so many decisions to be made when it comes to weddings that sometimes we can feel overwhelmed by the choices in front of us. Selecting a wedding cake used to be a relatively easy affair as there was generally only a few choices of design, flavor and filling – all that has changed as wedding cakes have become a refined business. Today the choices in flavor and filling are enormous and require lots of taste testing to finally come up with what suits you best. Here are descriptions of some of the most common wedding fillings:
Buttercream is a creamy, light and tasty frosting made with eggs, sugar and butter. The classic buttercream is made with egg yolks while a meringue version is made with the egg whites. Both versions are very tasty and a perennial wedding cake favorite.
Custard and pastry cream is a filling made with milk and eggs. This delicious filling is a good choice for winter weddings or marriages held in a temperature controlled reception hall as warm temperatures will cause the filling to melt.
Ganache is a truly sumptuous filling made from heavy cream and rich, dark chocolate. It can be used either as a filling or an icing.
Mousses or Mousselines generally used as an alternative to buttercream. Easily flavored with fruits or liqueurs, this dreamy filling must be served chilled for the best effect.
Fresh Fruit is an easy and delicious way to complement any flavor or wedding cake. Not only can fruit be used in between the layers but it can also be used to decorate the cake.
The best filling choice will depend on several things including location, flavor of the cake, style and the kind of decoration you want on it. If you want a simple cake then almost any filling or frosting will do. However, if you want an elaborately decorated cake then you might not have a choice but to choose a buttercream or fondant icing.

Samsung Galaxy Chat arrives, just as BlackBerry phones move away from Qwerty keyboards
Samsung has announced an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich handset with a Qwerty keyboard aimed at the more digitally social of users, just as RIM is to dispense with its keypads in favour of a full touchscreen for BlackBerry 10 - at least to begin with. Good timing?
The Samsung Galaxy Chat has a 3-inch touchscreen at the top and a full keyboard underneath. It's pre-loaded (as most of the company's smartphones) with the proprietary Samsung ChatOn (you don't want to say that with a lisp) social messaging service.
And the fact that the big S also highlights the Game Hub and its entertainment centre, AllShare Play, gives you a further clue as to the target market for the Chat.
However, Quick Office is also present from the box, so it's not all play.
Specs-wise, the Galaxy Chat has an 850MHz processor, a 2-megapixel camera on the rear (nothing on the front), Wi-Fi, USB 2.0, Bluetooth v3.0, accelerometer, digital compass, 4GB memory and a microSD card slot that can expand that (up to a further 32GB).
It's no beast, measuring 59.3 x 118.9 x 11.7mm and weighing 112g, and its 1,200mAh battery is quoted as offering up to 300 minutes of 3G talk time, 380 hours of standby.
The Samsung Galaxy Chat will be coming to Spain first, in July, and then will roll out across the rest of Europe. Carriers have yet to show their hands on plans or prices.

Marketing, one of things many people including analysts, fanboys, haters and bloggers and the media alike have expressed their opinions on why BlackBerry is in the current state it's in today. That's all about to change though, according to BlackBerry's newly appointed Senior VP of Marketing, Mark Wilson.
The Thorsten Heins team included CMO Frank Boulben and we all know the kind of reception his attempts received, but it would be unfair to point the finger entirely at him. Superbowl ad, anyone?
This time, it's different. It really is. Not only is John Chen from outside of BlackBerry, he isn't emotionally attached to the brand and he's also brought along his Sybase colleague, Mark Wilson, giving him the Senior Vice President of Marketing title.
Advertising Age had the chance for a Q&A with the new CMO to ask what his current marketing tactics were and where he wanted the BlackBerry to go and how he's attempting to make the BlackBerry synonymous with work, whilst fighting FUD and using BlackBerry die-hard professionals for a campaign.
The Q&A is as follows:
Advertising Age: What are your top marketing objectives for BlackBerry?
Mr. Wilson: The No. 1 objective is making BlackBerry synonymous with work, and that means professional mobility, enterprise mobility and really everything we do in terms of brand, defining our value proposition, defining our go-to-market tactics and ecosystem support. For people who are choosing a device or mobile platform to help them be productive and efficient — while at the same time protecting their security and privacy — we want them to choose Blackberry.
Advertising Age: How are you differentiating the Blackberry brand in the highly competitive smartphone space?
Mr. Wilson: When we look at the smartphone market, we call it the 'sea of sameness.' We differentiate in two ways. One is, we are absolutely focused on delighting professionals and giving them the best experience in terms of being highly productive in a secure way. At the same time, we drive a lot of innovation in terms of the design of the devices. They don't have to necessarily all look the same.
A second point of differentiation is around security. As these devices have gotten more powerful, and people are more aware of others being able to get access into those devices, we see that security and privacy are increasingly important.
One of the things we're doing is taking BBM — our mobile messaging platform — into the enterprise. In the last few weeks, we launched BBM Protect, which allows you to have secure messaging on your device, which is something that enterprises really want.
Advertising Age: You just introduced a new fact-checking site to correct misinformation about smartphones. What drove this?
Mr. Wilson: We found that certain competitors across all of our businesses, including software and services, were making claims that were just absolutely inaccurate. And we saw that sometimes the media were picking up on that. We really wanted to set the record straight. We call it 'Fighting FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) with facts.' We'll take documents that our competitors create and — with a red marker — will mark them up to show that what they're saying is clearly untrue. Overall, we've gotten a lot of positive feedback about it.
Advertising Age: Are you launching any new ad campaigns?
Wilson: We recently rolled out our "Endorsers" campaign. We have several endorsers, such as Arianna Huffington, who are just avid users — she has four BlackBerry devices. So instead of having paid endorsers that you see from several brands, we're just using people who are die-hard fans. So we're doing more of that. We feel that it's very organic and very true to the brand.
We also just launched the BlackBerry Z3 (touch screen) device in several emerging markets. We've launched this around the idea of connectedness and 'the power of connectedness.'
Advertising Age: How are you using social media to connect with business customers?
Mr. Wilson: We have invested in brand journalism to really drive a thought leadership program through social media. We've hired people with journalistic backgrounds and have seen a significant uptick in the number of people who are reading our blogs, citing our blogs in news articles and virally distributing them.

The line in Mexico is more highly automated so you get a better product at the end of the day. It roughly costs an American manufacturer $5000 per person to run a line in mexico compared to $50000 per person in the US. When you have a hundred person assembly process, it is very easy to justify additional sensors, camera, pokeyokes, etc, when the equipment ends up in Mexico because of the cheaper labor rate. I see it all the time. We will put a $10,000 dollar vision system on an assembly process that goes to mexico, because they cannot do anything right, and then that same customer will order a duplicate machine to be used in a Michigan plant and request that the vision system is left off and part quality will be left up to the operator.
Also, the plants in Mexico take quality very seriously. I was very surprised by this on my first trip down there.

And how amorous you become when your courtship with the muses is going strong.
He was certainly more than anxious to have an amorous relationship.
In but a few minutes, we were introduced to the object of Justin's amorous display, the gorgeous and talented Linda Fairstein.
Nobody will argue about the proper English spelling of amorous, from the Latin root amor.
His dark-blue eyes, guiltless of amorous droop, wide and bright, had in them a strained intensity of regard that was painful.
However, in such cases it is most often the old man who is amorous.
Amongst the rest was the illustrious peer of amorous memory.
But, I repeat, this question has nothing to do with amorous intoxication.
I thought I would like to speak to her, not for any amorous reasons, but because I felt curious to hear her adventures.
It was she—it was her arms and necks which gave that semblance of amorous vitality to her fruit.
c.1300, from Old French amorous (Modern French amoureux), from Late Latin amorosum, from amor "love," from amare "to love" (see Amy). Related: Amorously; amorousness.

Sorry, I'm not a very good member here! Most of you probably don't know me. I've been working on a project for the past 4ish months inspired by some threads here, at LFF, and other places. I just developed some of the images I made with this camera over the summer, so I thought I would share some info on the camera, the work that was put into making it, and the results that I have gotten so far.
First, a photo of the camera itself:
It folds up nice and neat, a very compact package:
The back of the camera was entirely designed by me (which is why it looks so rough! LOL), the most important part is the grips which hold on the standard double darkslide, but I'll talk about the design in a minute.
There's also a secret storage compartment, I wish I had a light meter or something convenient that fit in here...
Okay. I guess I'll start with the design. This camera has no tilts, shifts, etc. and cannot accept any other back than a standard double darkslide. Some people might think this is crazy. But, then again I don't think a 4x5 rangefinder is for them. In my opinion, the whole idea of a 4x5 with a proprietary viewfinder is to be as convenient as possible. You don't want a system that requires you to use ground glass for every photo. If you did, you'd be shooting on a tripod with a viewing hood and all sorts of crazy stuff. And that's cool, I like shooting 4x5 that way too.
This camera does not belong on a tripod. I think that's the most important part for me. I'm a young photo student (well, not even a photo student) and I still find shooting 4x5 to be a little uncomfortable. I love the quality but I'm not a fan of the time it takes. Don't get me wrong, I love taking time to make the photograph (example), but for certain things it's just not practical at all. I wanted a large format camera that did away with all of the conventional aspects of large format photography, and was simply just a camera. So that's why the back is small enough to only accept double darkslides...it's one of the smallest backs I've seen designed for this type of project. Most people bolt a graflok on there and it's really bulky. I used springs (scraps from the camera back) and attached them to L-shaped aluminum pieces, and attached those onto the back of the camera. They stick out a bit, but it's the best I could come up with.
I'd also like to talk about the process of building the camera.
I started with your typical Polaroid 160 camera:
And a Polaroid 900:
The 900 has a wonderful rangefinder (not by Leica standards, but just in the sense that the rangefinder and viewfinder are actually in one window), but the body has an electric lens and is a bit crappy. The 160 on the other hand, as a crappy viewfinder and a really nice body. The 110A and 110B are best, but hey this is what I had. I also had a few lenses in mind, but the only simple way to do this is to stick with the stock 127mm Rodenstock so that you don't have to modify the cam to fit with a different focal length. So I stuck with the Rodenstock.
I took apart the 900's rangefinder:
And started to scrape away at the 160's sticky leather:
And gutted the inside of the 160:
The film back is made out of some obscure olympus 4x5 microscope adaptor, a $20 ebay score:

I was pretty pissed off when I found out that the DKC trilogy was de-listed from VC. There could be a number of reasons why the trilogy was de-listed: licencing issues, lack of popularity (which I doubt) or Nintendo could be planning to transfer the trilogy to the Wii U's VC (nothing confirmed). I also heard that there's a Donkey Kong game coming out for the Wii U. How cool would it be if Nintendo remade the DKC trilogy for the Wii U?
Ha ha. I found this pretty amusing.

Dublin Travel Guide
This Victorian gem with its ornate molding and red velvet boxes is a Dublin institution, hosting a rotating schedule of stand-up comedy, big-name rock gigs, and popular theater.
What started almost three centuries ago as a humble weaving shop (in the Wicklow village of the same name) is now a retail empire.
An oasis of tranquillity in the teeming center of Dublin, this campus of wide green lawns and stately 16th-century buildings is the city's undisputed jewel.
The library's founder, the Archbishop Narcissus Marsh, believed that everyone should have access to books on medicine, law, science, travel, navigation, mathematics, music, classical literature, and, of course, theology.
The Cobblestone is located at the top of Smithfield, near the Four Courts, in the North Inner City. The D7 area has recently become very trendy among the late '20s and early '30s and many mingle with inner city Dubliners in this convivial old bar.
There's nothing immediately distinctive or compelling about Peter's…but then, unassuming comfort is essential for a good Dublin pub. What is notable here is the absence of both trinkety tourist-bait décor and flickering televisions—and the presence of real neighborhood locals.
Also known as the Dublin City Gallery, this delightful and manageable contemporary art gallery is arguably the city's finest art space. The selection of work by 20th-century Irish artists is strong (including pieces by Sir John Lavery, Jack B.
The resting place of 14 of the executed leaders of the insurrection of 1916.
Attending a true Dublin "trad session"—a group jam session featuring instruments like violin, mandolin, banjo, accordion, and uilleann pipes—is a memorable event.
The latest addition to the George's Street scene takes a humorous angle on the current economic recession. The owners have outfitted the bar-restaurant like a tenement, with recycled furniture, a hodgepodge of tag-sale objets, and lines of hanging laundry.
The best in Irish design is showcased in this Nassau Street store, handily located between Trinity College and the National Museum on Kildare Street.
Housed in a graceful building that is itself a sort of exhibit (with classically Victorian architecture and a rotunda based on Rome's Pantheon), this archaeological museum explores Ireland's ancient Celtic heritage.
A standout collection of European masters.
The cheeses are displayed on long wooden tables and kept at a constant temperature of around 50 degrees.

Porphyrias are a group of rare disorders passed down through families, in which an important part of hemoglobin, called heme, is not made properly. Heme is also found in myoglobin, a protein found in certain muscles.
Alternative Names
Acute intermittent porphyria; Hereditary coproporphyria; Congenital erythropoietic porphyria; Erythropoietic protoporphyria
Normally, the body makes heme in a multi-step process. Porphyrins are made during several steps of this process. Patients with porphyria have a deficiency of certain enzymes needed for this process. This causes abnormal amounts of porphyrins or related chemicals to build up in the body.
There are many different forms of porphyria. The most common type is porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT).
Drugs, infection, alcohol, and hormones such as estrogen may trigger attacks of certain types of porphyria.
Porphyrias involve three major symptoms:
- Abdominal pain or cramping (only in some forms of the disease)
- Light sensitivity causing rashes, blistering, and scarring of the skin (photodermatitis)
- Problems with the nervous system and muscles (seizures, mental disturbances, nerve damage)
Attacks can occur suddenly, usually with severe abdominal pain followed by vomiting and constipation. Being out in the sun can cause pain, sensations of heat, blistering, and skin redness and swelling. Blisters heal slowly, often with scarring or skin color changes. They may be disfiguring. Urine may turn red or brown after an attack.
Other symptoms may include:
- Muscle pain
- Muscle weakness or paralysis
- Numbness or tingling
- Pain in the arms or legs
- Pain in the back
- Personality changes
Attacks can sometimes be life threatening, producing:
- Low blood pressure
- Severe electrolyte imbalances
- Shock
Exams and Tests
Your doctor will perform a physical exam, which includes listening to your heart. You may have a fast heart rate (tachycardia). The doctor may find that your deep tendon reflexes (knee jerks or others) do not work properly.
Blood and urine tests may reveal kidney problems or other problems. Special tests can measure porphyrins in the blood.
Some of the other tests that may be done include:
- Blood gases
- Comprehensive metabolic panel
- Porphyrin levels and levels of other chemicals linked to this condition (often checked in the urine)
- Ultrasound of the abdomen
- Urinalysis
Some of the medicines used to treat a sudden (acute) attack of porphyria may include:
- Hematin given through a vein (intravenously)
- Pain medication
- Propranolol to control the heartbeat
- Sedatives to help you feel sleepy and less anxious
Other treatments may include:
- Beta-carotene supplements
- Chloroquine
- Fluids and glucose to boost carbohydrate levels, which helps limit the production of porphyrins
- Removal of blood (phlebotomy)
Depending on the type of porphyria you have, your doctor may tell you to:
- Avoid all alcohol
- Avoid drugs that may trigger an attack
- Avoid injuring the skin
- Avoid sunlight as much as possible and use sunscreen when outside
- Eat a high-carbohydrate diet
Outlook (Prognosis)
Porphyrias are life-long diseases with symptoms that come and go. Some forms of the disease cause more symptoms than others. Proper treatment and avoidance of triggers can help prolong the time between attacks.
Possible Complications
- Coma
- Gallstones
- Paralysis
- Respiratory failure (due to weakness of chest muscles)
- Scarring of the skin
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Seek medical attention as soon as you have signs of an acute attack. Talk to your doctor about your risk for this condition if you have a long history of undiagnosed abdominal pain, muscle and nerve problems, and sensitivity to sunlight.
Genetic counseling may benefit people who want to have children and who have a family history of any type of porphyria.

BBB® receives several calls a day from consumers stating they 'won' a substantial prize from a sweepstakes they don't remember entering or receiving several threatening calls from a debt collector they don't even know. Sad, but true some fall prey to the pressure of giving away account numbers, prepaid money cards or personal information. What's worse is the number of scam artists that actually do manage to pull off the con. Then the con artist comes back time after time – kind of like an annoying mosquito.
If you get a call asking for money to settle a debt, claim a prize or are repeatedly harassed by a caller, jot down the number, the name of the company and if possible get the name of the person. Then call us – we'll take a swat at them. Start with someone you can trust. Visit bbb.org.

Course overview
The Bachelor of Design (Architecture) comprises cutting edge content from the latest research and is designed with a global perspective. The course places emphasis on real application, allowing you to study architecture from day one.
You will explore architectural ideas, history, philosophy, design and communication as well as building science and technology. The course is designed to meet the needs of students who ultimately intend to complete the Master of Architecture and practise architecture, but alternative units may be taken if you wish to pursue a different career direction.
Some of the units you will study include Graphic and Coded Communication, Building Materials Science, Architecture Design, Computer Aided Modelling and Construction and Structures.
Units in the course may include assessment hurdle requirements.
Professional recognition
This program is accredited (within Australia) by the Australian Institute of Architects, the Architects Registration Board of Victoria and the Architects Accreditation Council of Australia, when followed by successful completion of the Master of Architecture, S700.
Fees and charges
Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL)
EFTSL is the standard annual full time load. Eight credit points is considered a standard full time load for one year. Each unit you study has an EFTSL value. You can add these together to calculate your study load each year. Depending on enrolment, you may be enrolled in more than or less than the one EFTSL each year.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
Under the present legislation, a Commonwealth supported place is one for which the University receives some Government funding. Students enrolled in these places are required to contribute part of their course costs. To be eligible for a Commonwealth supported place you must be an Australian citizen, or New Zealand citizen or holder of a permanent visa who will be residing in Australia for the duration of your study.
Full-fee paying (FFP)
A full-fee paying place is one which the University does not receive any Government funding. Students enrolled in these places contribute the full cost of their course.
Domestic full-fee paying places are available to Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens or holders of a permanent visa.
Fee information for all domestic students
The current Federal Government has proposed a number of major reforms for the higher education sector (see the Higher Education and Research Reform Amendment Bill 2014), including fee deregulation in respect of domestic student fees. This legislation may be reintroduced to the parliament in the latter half of 2015 and if passed, will impact on the CSP and FFP course fees applicable in 2016.
* Therefore, the indicative annual course fee shown is provided as a guide only. It has been calculated on the basis of a typical enrolment of a student undertaking the course in 2015, and reflects the cost involved in undertaking full-time study within the specified discipline. The 2016 CSP and FFP course fees may change if the Commonwealth Government's proposed fee deregulation and reforms legislation is passed.
The actual fees charged by Deakin University, will depend on the individual unit discipline and may vary from the indicative course fee cited, particularly if units are chosen from a number of disciplines. The cost of each unit offered in 2016 can be viewed from the Unit Search. Should a change in Government policy affect the cost of units offered, the website will be updated as soon as possible.
The fees per unit/credit point may be otherwise subject to an annual increase due to rises in the cost of course delivery and service.
This information is provided as a guide only. No representation is made that the information provided is current or accurate. Deakin assumes no responsibility for persons relying on indicative course fees to calculate the total future cost of their course. Applicants can email email@example.com au for more information about 2016 fees.
Fee payment assistance
Australian citizens or holders of a permanent humanitarian visa, enrolling in a CSP or FFP, may be eligible for HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP respectively. For more information about HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP visit the Study Assist website.
Career opportunities
As a graduate of this course you may be employed in private architectural practices, government organisations and private companies in property development, building and design.

Outside of Sprint's Galaxy S III variant, no other carrier-branded models have been made to officially support Google Wallet. That's all set to change today with a maintenance update rolling out to owners of the US Cellular unit. Details of this maintenance release, uncovered by Android Police, outline a host of incoming bug fixes bundled in with Amazon's app suite and Mountain View's aforementioned mobile payment app. The leaked screenshot also indicates that other NFC-equipped devices on the operator's lineup could be joining the fray soon, though nothing's specified. You can go ahead and try to pull the OTA now, but for those of you with ants in your pants, a manual solution is available at the Samsung source link below.

The Mars Curiosity rover is gearing up to boogie on the beach as NASA sends it on a new mission to study the Red Planet's fascinating sand dunes.
An analysis of the water on Mars may have to wait until NASA's human Mars mission in the 2030s.
The Mars Curiosity rover is trying a new, easygoing drilling technique, and early results indicate acidic water conditions way back in the planet's history.
An electrical hiccup means the Mars rover will be sidelined for a few days as NASA tries to locate the problem.
Curiosity's latest self-portrait shows the plucky machine surrounded by Mars landscape details, including Mount Sharp, cliffs and the crater rim.
Satellite shots provide a unique and insightful look at our world, and other worlds, like the Red Planet, too.
Mars Curiosity makes an amazing discovery, organic matter on the Red Planet that makes up the building blocks of life.
It's the last Crave show of 2014. This week, Curiosity makes a huge discovery, the US Navy has a shark drone and American satellites detect an increase in holiday lights from space. Happy New Year from all of us at Crave!
Molecules found by Curiosity on Mars have been confirmed as organic matter -- the building blocks of all known forms of terrestrial life.
Much like how the flow of water on Earth carved out the shape of the land, so too did it sculpt the surface of Mars, once upon a time.


text: Hey Guys, This is my first post to Physics Forums. If I posted this question in the wrong area or am violating some other etiquette, please let me know! I'm working on a proof and am currently stuck. I'm trying to prove that x (a weird number, an infinite product to be specific), is NOT a perfect square. At first I thought I could say that if x converges to a value between two perfect squares, it then can't be a perfect square. Then I realized that 1, 4, 9, 16, 25,... are not the only perfect squares. There are also 0.16 (0.4^2), 6.25 (2.5^2), etc. How could I go about showing that x is a perfect square? or that sqrt(x) is irrational? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this! Thanks so much! Justin
