The Unfunny Robin Williams

Treatment for Reye's syndrome
There's no cure for Reye's syndrome, but it's possible for a child to have a complete recovery if he receives proper treatment early on. Quick diagnosis and early treatment are key so that doctors can work to protect the brain and lungs against damage.
They'll make sure that the child stays hydrated. They'll monitor his blood pressure and the pressure of fluid in the brain. They may order blood tests, CAT scans, or MRIs.
A child who is having trouble breathing may be put on a breathing machine. And he may be given various medications, depending on his symptoms: diuretics to rid the body of extra fluids, anti-seizure medications for seizures, and corticosteroids to reduce brain swelling, for example.
How to protect your child from Reye's syndrome
Not giving your child aspirin is your best defense.
Reye's syndrome isn't contagious, so you don't have to worry about your child catching it.
To safeguard your child's health, take the following precautions:
- Never give aspirin to your child, or to anyone 19 years old or younger. If your child has a virus (or even viral-like symptoms), ask his doctor what medications you might safely give him for pain relief, if necessary.
- Don't take any products containing aspirin if you're nursing, because the drug is passed through breast milk.
- Read labels carefully to avoid accidentally giving aspirin to your child. Many over-the-counter drugs contain aspirin, including some antacids, anti-nausea, and cold and sinus medicines. Be on the lookout for terms like salicylate, acetylsalicylate, acetylsalicylic acid, salicylamide, and phenyl salicylate, which may be used instead of the word aspirin. (Many over-the-counter drugs aren't safe for young children. Check for age restrictions, and ask a doctor if you have any questions about the appropriateness of a drug for your child.)
See Medicines you shouldn't give your baby or toddler.
See Medicines you shouldn't give your child.

China bulletin
I am just returning from my third visit to China, currently our most important overseas recruitment territory with more than 200 Chinese students studying in Dundee.
I had hoped to get away for a few days from the hype of the pre-Christmas period which seems to start earlier and earlier in Scotland. And so I was surprised and dismayed to find Christmas trees everywhere and the same familiar songs being played in every hotel lobby. It rather proves the point that Christmas is nowadays less of a religious ceremony and more a retailing and partying opportunity. I am therefore looking forward to getting back in time for the University Carol Service on Sunday which always marks the start of the Christmas period for me.
But getting back to the subject of China. My visits have been at roughly yearly intervals and have given me a profound sense of the pace of change and especially their investment in higher education. Given the scale of the country and the vast differences in culture from north to south and province to province, this investment has been remarkably consistently and impressively applied. I visited Xiamen in the south, overlooking Taiwan, then Beijing and Tian Jin which are 1200 miles to the north experiencing a balmy seaside with temperatures of 20 centigrade followed by sub-zero temperatures down to minus 8. Our partner universities in Xiamen and Tian Jin are both investing in enormously impressive new campuses. This new infrastructure is not intended to increase student numbers, which already account for about 30% of school leavers, but to expand research capacity and attract top class, mainly Chinese, faculty from abroad. And they in turn are being judged on their ability to produce high quality fundamental and applied research published in journals with the highest impact in their field.
These developments are bringing in a new era, not just in Chinese universities themselves, but also in their expectations of partner institutions abroad. No longer are they simply looking to send many students overseas through articulation agreements with their partners. Partner institutions will need to develop deeper, if not wider, relationships with their Chinese counterparts including joint research programmes and centres of excellence if they wish to sustain them into the future. It is also certain that more and more of our teaching with overseas partners will need to be delivered in country. We should not be daunted by this changing landscape, however, because it provides substantial opportunity as well as obvious threats. Not least of these will be the opportunity to develop fully funded research proposals of scale with our Chinese collaborators.
In the meantime I am looking forward to getting home after an all-night flight, recovering from the jet lag brought on by the 8 hours time difference, and finally, reluctantly, getting into the Christmas spirit.

Downton Abbey
Is O'Brien Returning to Downton Abbey?
Hide the soap! O'Brien (Siobhan Finneran) might be making her return to Downton Abbey!
The scheming lady's maid and frenemy of Thomas Barrow (Rob James-Collier) left the show at the start of Season 4 and she did it in true O'Brien fashion: in the dead of night without telling a soul.
She'd taken another job with the Crawley family's Scottish cousins, who were headed to India, leaving troublesome daughter Rose (Lily James) behind with their English counterparts. The sudden decampment made for a slightly awkward breakfast the morning following O'Brien's departure, but things carried on as they do at Downton.
Still, Cora (Elizabeth McGovern) had a devil of a time finding a suitable replacement, eventually settling on a referral from Thomas. Phyllis Baxter (Raquel Cassidy) joined the downstairs staff halfway through Season 4 and while she's befriended fellow outsider Mr. Moseley (Kevin Doyle), the nature of her relationship with Thomas remains in the shadows as we head toward Season 5.
Could O'Brien be the one to come clear out those cobwebs? The report, which we admit comes from a rather questionable source (U.K. tabloid The Sun), claims Siobhan would be all about returning to the show.
"I'd love playing her but she'd have to go back for some reason. I'd love to return and wreck the Bates' marriage or something like that," the Irish actress supposedly told the outlet (via The Belfast Telegraph). "Maybe one day O'Brien will fly back on her broomstick to cause mischief and mayhem."
If she does, she best stay away from the Bateses. Those two need a little peace and quiet!
What would you make of O'Brien coming back? All for it or think she should stay in India? Tell us in the comments!

I just love it Zefan!What does the community think?Comon guys, lets hear it!
The Battlefield 2-modification "Battlefield: Korea" deals with the Korean War (1950 - 1953), which is also known as "Forgotten War". The main fractions are: (UN) US, South Korea against North Korea and China. Most weapons and vehicles which used in the Korean War became famous during WWII (T-34/85, PPSh-41, M1 Garand, M1/M2 Carbine,...) but there were also innovations - for instance weapons and tanks which were developed during WWII but came to late to gain significance (i.e. the M26 Pershing tank or the 3.5" M20 Super Bazooka) or jets which were used by both sides in big quantities for the first time (F-80 Shootingstar, F-86 Sabre, MiG-15,..) Our goal is an adequate mix of realism and 'simple gameplay' focusing on historical accuracy and fun.
I just love it Zefan!What does the community think?Comon guys, lets hear it!
The skins are great, and the mod looks promising. Keep it up!
I hate to bump this years later, but what happened? I would really love to see this mod revived. It had-and still has- so much potential, and it is a shame to see such a great idea die off. If I can help in any way, let me know!

A good BUY !!I have just got this pen drive from flipcart and let me tell you I am very impressed. it would provide around 3.75 gb instead of 4gb but never mind. Packing and sending of flipcart have made me order 2 books as well. Only negative of this pen drive is that it is a little small from usual pds in market which may make user a little more cautious but the fact that it is stell coated make it stronger.

Visitors to the Napa Valley are spoiled by choices when it comes to nearby airports. San Francisco International, Oakland International, and Sacramento International are all about an hour away. San Jose International is about a one-and-a-half hour drive from Napa. All of these airports are served by both major and low-cost airlines, a winning combination that keeps fares competitive.
The Napa Valley is about an hour from San Francisco. Most people drive to Napa from area airports or other nearby destinations. Driving to the region offers visitors more flexibility once they've arrived, but those who prefer to visit without a car can find an airport shuttle or limo service to the region, or can hop on a bus tour from San Francisco.
From San Francisco, the most dramatic and beautiful way to get to Napa is to go over the Golden Gate Bridge and up U.S. Highway 101. Though it's less scenic, visitors coming from the East Bay and those in a hurry may want to consider U.S. Highway 80 to Highway 37. For specific directions, use an online service such as Mapquest or Google Maps, or pick up a good old-fashioned map.

Victa gets poetic in ode to 'the expert turners and backyard learners'
Sydney agency Core has gone poetic in its first campaign for Australian gardening tools brand Victa.
The campaign, which introduces a new tagline 'Altogether better', is a response to a brief to highlight Victa's garden and lawn care range.
Core won the business after a competitive pitch last year.
Laura Clarke, marketing communications manager, Briggs & Stratton said: "We want Australians to relate to the people in our ad and understand how Victa's range of products provides Australians with locally tested and designed reliable outdoor power equipment to maintain their gardens and lawns. We're here to help Australians easily manage their garden so that they can get back to enjoying time with their family and friends – and that's why we've created this campaign."

nice ad, nice tagline
Laura says"We're here to help Australians easily manage their garden so that they can get back to enjoying time with their family and friends – and that's why we've created this campaign". Really? I thought it was about market share, brand equity & profit. Not too many of the punters will read your media release Laura, that leaves us industry people left, and we aren't that gullible. But your TVC will probably work gangbusters and its good timing whilst the grass is growing.
Great ad. It really does target the various gardners of the household.
Beery – if they can appeal to the market, increased market share and profit will follow.

INDIANAPOLIS (June 22, 2011) – Iowa Speedway in Newton has been good to Sam Schmidt Motorsports (SSM) through the years, and that can't be good news for its competitors in the Firestone Indy Lights Series. The team is heading to the fast Iowa track where it has seen success with a full head of steam in 2011.
SSM's Indy Lights teams have two victories on the .875-mile oval and countless other top-five finishes. When Ana Beatriz won in 2009, she led a dominating weekend there for SSM. She was followed across the finish line by her SSM teammates Wade Cunningham and James Hinchcliffe in second and third place, respectively.
If that kind of weekend sounds familiar, it's because SSM is heading into Saturday's Sukup 100 at Iowa after showing a similar kind of dominance at Milwaukee this past weekend. Argentinian Esteban Guerrieri, driving the No. 7 Lucas Oil Dallara/Firestone car for SSM, won the pole and led flag to flag to score his first Firestone Indy Lights victory.
Right behind Guerrieri in both qualifying and the race in Milwaukee was his teammate Josef Newgarden, who qualified the No. 11 Copart/Score Big/Robo Pong Dallara/Firestone Indy Lights car second and finished second. Fellow SSM teammate Bryan Clauson slipped a spot from his third-place qualifying effort to finish fourth in Milwaukee driving his No. 77 Mazda Road to Indy Dallara/Firestone racecar.
In addition to Newgarden, Guerrieri and Clauson, the fourth SSM Indy Lights driver, Victor Carbone, drove his No. 3 Nevoni racecar to a sixth-place finish, his best of the season.
Though SSM fell just short of sweeping the qualifying podium and race podium at Milwaukee, the slight slip isn't expected to slow the SSM locomotive as it powers into Iowa. Consider these facts:
- Guerrieri has won three Sunoco Pole Awards in five races this year.
- SSM has swept the front row three times and has had at least one car start on the front row of every race in 2011.
- Guerrieri has finished second, second and first in his last three starts.
- Newgarden and Guerrieri are first and second in the Indy Lights point standings.
- Newgarden has three podiums in the first five races, including two wins.
As Clauson gets more experience in the rear-engined Indy Lights car, and as the young Carbone continues to improve, the SSM locomotive is expected to continue gaining speed. Don't look for it to slow down in Iowa.
Victor Carbone, Driver of the No. 3 Nevoni/Sam Schmidt Motorsports Dallara:
When you go to a track for a first time, what do you do in advance to prepare for it?
"I watch lots of video the team has gathered over the years. Video is the best way for me. I also look at lots of data the team has on all the tracks. Now that I'm living in Indianapolis, I will drive the simulator the team has at the shop. It should be a huge help, as well."
Do you talk to the other drivers about a certain track, as well?
"Sometimes. But I don't think any of my teammates have been to Iowa in a Lights car, either, so that won't help much."
Esteban Guerrieri, Driver of the No.7 Lucas Oil/Sam Schmidt Motorsports Dallara:
How do you prepare for a new speedway like Iowa, at which you've never raced nor have you seen?
"I hope the team will give me the right tools to start learning. I've heard it is quite challenging. It might be a bit easier than Milwaukee, but it is quite a different oval. Of course, I will take full advantage of the practice sessions."
Esteban Guerrieri, Driver of the No.7 Lucas Oil/Sam Schmidt Motorsports Dallara (continued):
What kind of tools does the Sam Schmidt team give to the driver to prepare for a new track?
"I've never seen a team and group of engineers that give so many tools to a driver to prepare for a race than Sam Schmidt Motorsports. They give you video from various practices and races, history in data, track maps and an understanding of the set-ups. No team that I've ever been with has given me these kinds of things. I use all these tools so I can do my best in Iowa, for sure. "
Coming from a road-racing background, does it build your confidence going into more oval races like Iowa knowing you can win on ovals, now?
"Actually, yes. I haven't thought about that but, yes, I will. It's good to go as a winner to another oval, but we have to see what happens. It's even better for the confidence and happiness of the team"
Josef Newgarden, Driver of the No. 11 Copart/Score Big/Robo-Pong/Sam Schmidt Motorsports Dallara:
Having never raced at Iowa, how will you prepare this week?
"The preparation with the engineer the week before is very key. Doug (Zister, engineer) and I will get on Skype together to talk about strategy and go over some data. In this modern era with Internet and everything, it's a lot easier to get together with someone to plan and strategize when you're in two different states or areas of the world."
What have you heard about Iowa?
"I've heard it's a very interesting track. Obviously, it's very fast. I've heard about the bump between (turns) one and two and that it can catch you off. It's something I definitely have to get used to, as well as some of the other elements. I'm sure it will be another great weekend for Firestone Indy Lights."
Is a track like Milwaukee, where you said engineering would be important, a place where it's a definite advantage to have three teammates and their engineers to share ideas with?
"It's a huge advantage. Every engineer has his own philosophy, and everyone wants to go in his own direction. That's a good thing. The more guys on the track going in different (engineering) directions, it's not a bad thing. You can take ideas from four different cars instead of two and sort of join them all together for just the right set-up that you need. Whereas, other guys might be limited by only two minds. It's never a bad thing, and we're in a good position by having four cars on the track."
Bryan Clauson, Driver of the No. 77 Mazda Road To Indy/Sam Schmidt Motorsports Dallara:
You've raced before at Iowa Speedway. In what type of cars have you raced there?
"I've raced a (USAC) Silver Crown car, the Midget and even a (USAC) Sprint car there. I've driven a (NASCAR) Nationwide car there, but never raced one there."
Talk about Iowa's racetrack?
"It's a great racetrack. Everything I've ever driven there has been racey because there is a lot of room to move around and drive through the field. It's a place I always look forward to going to with our USAC cars, so I'm excited to go back there in an Indy Lights car to see what it's like. It's always nice to go to a place that you've seen and have an idea of your surroundings a little bit. "

Protected Areas, a global perspective27/
By Siobhan Kenney and Brian Mac Sharry,
The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is the most comprehensive dataset on the world's protected areas covering both terrestrial and marine protected areas. Currently there are about 200,000 records in the database covering nearly every country and territory.The basis for the database began in 1959, when the United Nations Economic and Social Council called for a list of national parks and equivalent reserves in recognition that they 'are valuable for economic and scientific reasons and also as areas for the future preservation of fauna and flora and geologic structures in their natural state' (Resolution 713 (XXVIII)). The first UN List of Protected Areas was published in 1962. Today the UN List is incorporated into the WDPA ? which was established in 1981. The WDPA consists of spatial information (where a protected areas is) and associated descriptive information (what the protected area is called, its designation type, etc). The database is regularly updated through direct contact with countries and other relevant partners and covers a diverse range of protected areas. The data can be viewed and downloaded via the online map viewer, Protected planet www.protectedplanet.net. The database includes nationally designated areas (e.g. national parks, nature reserves) as well as areas designated under international agreements and conventions (e.g. UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance). In order to qualify for inclusion in the WDPA, a site should meet the IUCN or CBD definition of a protectedThe global protected areas system is in constant flux with new protected areas being created, areas being expanded and contracted, and community and private protected areas receiving increasing recognition. At any one time the WDPA provides a snapshot of the current data that has been made available to UNEP-WCMC and an updated version of the database is produced every month.One of the key uses of the WDPA is tracking global progress towards protected area targets. In particular the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Aichi Target 11 calls for:'By 2020, at least 17 per cent of terrestrial and inland water, and 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well connected systems of protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes.' (CBD COP 10, Decision X/2)In terms of coverage, the WDPA tells us that protected terrestrial areas have increased from 8.9% of the world's land surface in 1990 to 14.6% in 2012, and during this time, protected marine areas have more than doubled in coverage from 4.6% to 9.7% .Figure 1: Map of the WDPA, 2013. Sites in green are terrestrial protected areas and sites in blue are marine protected areas.The database is a joint project between the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), maintained by the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) in Cambridge, UK.

Article Date: 6/1/2008
True story: Two O.D.s practicing in the same community for a number of years developed a friendship and decided to merge their offices on an equal basis. An attorney inexperienced in partnership agreements advised them to choose a majority owner, and, against their wishes, split their equity 51/49. His reasoning: "You never want to have 50/50 ownership in case of a disagreement."
Let's explode one myth about partnerships right now. You do not have to own 51% equity in a business or practice to have authority regarding key management decisions. A legal document can spell out conditions that allow a minority or equal stockholder to have complete authority or veto power over virtually any management area of the practice.
For example; your attorney might use this language: "It is mutually agreed that while Dr. Seer and Dr. Tester are equal partners financially, Dr. Seer will have final authority on all equipment purchases of more than $1,000, and Dr. Tester will be responsible for decisions involving the office space and location of the practice (make your own list here).
In another case, two O.D.s in a 60/40 equity split were ready to offer their employed associate a third partnership. The plan was for Dr. Oldy to sell 33% of his share and Dr. Middel to sell 25% of her share resulting in a 40/30/30 split with the associate, Dr. Newby.
Everything was on go until Dr. Oldy realized that his partners would have a 60% controlling interest if they decided to gang up on him.
Again, the three partners could address Dr. Oldy's concern with a clause in the contract that gave him final veto power over the issues he felt were critical for him to manage, such as the approval to switch major suppliers or terminate long-term employees. This control could be for life, set to expire at a fixed time in the future, or based on Dr. Oldy meeting certain production levels each year. Use your own imagination.
In my column which appeared in OM's April 2008 issue, I made the case that an optometric practice with $500,000 in gross-collected revenues should produce a pre-tax profit of approximately 30% or $150,000. By comparison, the selling price for that same practice is usually in the range of two to three times its pre-tax profits, or $300,000 to $450,000.
Because the market price for an optometric practice is a relatively low multiple of annual earnings, I feel that a profitable practice is worth more to the owner for the long-term income stream it can generate than for the equity you might realize when you sell.
For that reason, out of the three I.C.E. (income, control, equity) elements of a partnership agreement, I think income and control are more important than the percentage of equity you own.
The fact is, it's very simplistic to base control on who has the majority ownership. You can be a minority owner and have control in specified areas if you build that into your partnership agreement. My recommendation is: Just be sure to get an experienced attorney to help you do it. OM

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- A new warning has been issued about the Ogeechee River.
The Effingham County Emergency Management Agency says everyone should stay out of the water after a dead catfish was found about 10 miles south of Georgia Highway 119.
The catfish had blisters and was infected with bacteria. This is the same bacteria that caused the huge fish kill last year.
Experts are advising people not to swim or fish until further notice.

5 Buy-Rated Dividend Stocks: HR, TAL, SO, EPB, PPL
PPLDividend Yield: 4.70% PPL (NYSE: PPL) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.70%. PPL Corporation, an energy and utility holding company, engages in the generation, transmission, distribution, and sale of electricity to wholesale and retail customers in the United States and the United Kingdom. The company operates in four segments: Kentucky Regulated, U.K. The company has a P/E ratio of 13.42. The average volume for PPL has been 4,462,900 shares per day over the past 30 days. PPL has a market cap of $18.5 billion and is part of the utilities industry. Shares are up 8.3% year to date as of the close of trading on Thursday. TheStreet Ratings rates PPL as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its expanding profit margins, increase in stock price during the past year, attractive valuation levels and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat weak growth in earnings per share. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- 39.90% is the gross profit margin for PPL CORP which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 16.80% is above that of the industry average.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- The revenue fell significantly faster than the industry average of 13.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 40.2%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Electric Utilities industry and the overall market, PPL CORP's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Cat Challenges
Basically, cat toys fall into two categories. Play-alone toys run the gamut from catnip-filled balls to laser toys that light up randomly from a stand-alone base. They are great for active cats that initiate their own play. Play-together toys are those you, the owner, must jiggle, twitch, or fling in front of kitty to encourage her to play. We especially recommend play-together toys, for they can help increase the bond you and your cat share.
Toy Tips
Most cats do not fetch toys in the way dogs will. In fact, to entice the best play from your cat, choose toys that mimic the start-and-stop, hide-and-seek, give-and-take elements of natural hunts. Toys that seem to respond to your cat's pats, pounces, and bats entice further play as your cat tries to overcome the toy. The hunt should never be too easy - but your cat should always win.

Letting the water sit for hours does NOT dechlorinate!
So I read in a book that many water treatment places have changed to chloramine which is a form of chlorine mixed with ammonia that DOESN'T evaporate in the air. If this is true we should definatley discontinue telling new fish hobbyist to do this unless they KNOW for SURE that their local treatment plant is using chlorine and NOT chloramine. In Saskatoon they are using chloramine, which was why the majority of my grandmother's fish died when she tried to do it the old way. Beware the chloramine :|
correct that is why using a de-chlorinator prior to adding new tank water is best
This is why dechlorinators often suggested should bind both the chlorine and chloramine, not just chlorine itself. Prime is widely suggested for this reason.
stress coat treats chloramine too.
I use dechlorinator AND let my water sit overnight.Does dechlorinator take ammonia that is already in the water out of the water?
Here's a neat little chart comparing water conditioners.
Product review of Water Conditioners / Dechlorinators for the aquarium
jeaninel, thanks for the info on the water conditioner.,
Yeah thats cool
True, I had no idea. Good to know... Lol even though I've always used drops. They are so easy I don't know why anyone wouldn't use them.
I just worried about everyone telling people they could do that to dechlorinate, especially people that are new to fish.

"It's a first in India and we are extremely excited to be launching this video. This version has not been used even in Bollywood films and watching a video in this ultra high definition format is an immersive experience in itself," Sanujeet Bhujabal, marketing director, Sony Music India, said in a statement.
4K resolution is a generic term for display devices or content having horizontal resolution on the order of 4,000 pixels.
Introducing the song's video in the special version, singer-producer Rahman said: "We wanted this video to be in a format that gives viewers a visual delight as the essence of the video is taken from Raja Ravi Varma's paintings."
"Aa Bhi Jaa" is a visual delight that has artistry inspired by Raja Ravi Varma's paintings. Featuring actors Yami Gautam and Muzammil Ibrahim, the video harkens back to the days of dynasties ruling India.
Rendered by singer Jonita Gandhi, the song is a mellow and slow track that blends seamlessly with poetry by Sibal.

How to Make Grape Jelly
Grape jelly is a traditional recipe that is easy to make and delicious to eat. This recipe for grape jelly takes approximately 30 - 60 minutes.
- 3 pounds of grapes (purple)
- 2 cups of sugar (white)
1Wash grapes and drain.
2Put into large kettle, and cook over medium heat until your grapes are soft, approximately 10-15 minutes.
3Place the grapes into a jelly bag[1], so that the juice drains out into a jar or pot below. Don't add water. Put about 2 cups at a time into the bag, no more. The jelly bag will collect the pulp, skin, and any seeds while the juice that you will use for the jelly drains out.
- Squeeze the juice through the bag with clean hands or by pressing it gently with a spoon. Empty and discard the pulp periodically if the juice is draining too slowly. Rinse the bag if needed.
4Bring two cups of juice to a full boil.
5Reduce heat to low-medium, and add 2 cups sugar. Once sugar is added, do not let the mixture boil.
6Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved; otherwise, it will crystallize if the sugar is not completely dissolved.
7Pour immediately into glass jars.
8Clean the rims of the jars
9Place lids and seals on the jars and
10Process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.

Adrenal Gland Neoplasms
Radiologic Evaluation of Incidentally Discovered Adrenal Masses - Article
ABSTRACT: The increasing use of cross-sectional imaging has led to an increase in the incidental discovery of adrenal masses (adrenal incidentalomas). Although most of these lesions are benign, they often present a diagnostic dilemma. Before creating a management plan, the physician should determine if the lesion is benign or malignant and if the lesion is functioning or nonfunctioning. Incidentally discovered adrenal masses usually are benign adenomas; however, myelolipomas, cysts, hemorrhage, pheochromocytomas, metastases, and adrenocortical carcinomas are also possible. Unenhanced computed tomography and chemical shift magnetic resonance imaging can characterize most adenomas because the lesions have high lipid content. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography can further characterize the adenomas because of the washout characteristics with iodinated intravenous contrast media. Fluorodeoxyglucose– positron emission tomography can be helpful in characterizing some lesions, and biopsy is rarely required. This article summarizes the American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria for the use of imaging modalities and biopsy to characterize incidentally discovered adrenal masses.
Diagnosis of Secondary Hypertension: An Age-Based Approach - Article
ABSTRACT: Secondary hypertension is a type of hypertension with an underlying, potentially correctable cause. A secondary etiology may be suggested by symptoms (e.g., flushing and sweating suggestive of pheochromocytoma), examina- tion findings (e.g., a renal bruit suggestive of renal artery stenosis), or laboratory abnormalities (e.g., hypokalemia suggestive of aldosteronism). Secondary hypertension also should be considered in patients with resistant hyper- tension, and early or late onset of hypertension. The prevalence of secondary hypertension and the most common etiologies vary by age group. Approximately 5 to 10 percent of adults with hypertension have a secondary cause. In young adults, particu- larly women, renal artery stenosis caused by fibromuscular dyspla- sia is one of the most common secondary etiologies. Fibromuscular dysplasia can be detected by abdominal magnetic resonance imag- ing or computed tomography. These same imaging modalities can be used to detect atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis, a major cause of secondary hypertension in older adults. In middle-aged adults, aldosteronism is the most common secondary cause of hyperten- sion, and the recommended initial diagnostic test is an aldosterone/ renin ratio. Up to 85 percent of children with hypertension have an identifiable cause, most often renal parenchymal disease. Therefore, all children with confirmed hypertension should have an evaluation for an underlying etiology that includes renal ultrasonography.
Gynecomastia - Article
ABSTRACT: Gynecomastia is defined as benign proliferation of glandular breast tissue in men. Physiologic gynecomastia is common in newborns, adolescents, and older men. It is self-limited, but can be treated to minimize emotional distress and physical discomfort. Nonphysiologic gynecomastia may be caused by chronic conditions (e.g., cirrhosis, hypogonadism, renal insufficiency); use of medications, supplements, or illicit drugs; and, rarely, tumors. Discontinuing use of contributing medications and treating underlying disease are the mainstay of treatment. Medications, such as estrogen receptor modulators, and surgery have a role in treating gynecomastia in select patients. Treatment should be pursued early and should be directed by the patient.

The Eastern Oregon men are gearing up for a conference track title, while the women are working on individual success, coach Ben Welch says.
Around 22 women and 35 men are participating this season.
The opening meet is the Dusty Lane Invitational in Spokane Saturday. About 20 Eastern athletes will compete there.
Next on tap is the elite Stanford Invitational March 26.
Depending on the weather, the team will compete at the Willamette University Invitational April 2.
Welch said the team has six to seven straight weeks of competition leading up to nationals.
"There's no rest for the wicked," Welch said laughing.
The conference is made up of Southern Oregon University, Oregon Institute of Technology, Evergreen State, Warner Pacific College, Cascade College and Northwest College.
Welch said the team does not have enough depth to pursue a conference title.
"It's a goal down the road," he said referring to recruiting.
The distance runners are Jessyca Barker, Laura Clayton, Stephanie Colkitt, Rian Finney, Keely Hopkins, Jessica Johnston, Shawna Muchow, Lauren Plymire, Nicole Voitovitch, Shelby Zacharias and Kelsey Jones.
Marika Dobos will run the 400 and 800-meter dashes. Sarah Flesher is an 800-meter runner.
In addition to the runners are Melissa Jacobson (throws), Eastern volleyball player Jamie Russell (high and triple jump), Baker High School graduate Amy Servin (jumper), Ashley Rysdam (pole vault), Charlotte Kreger (hurdles) and Desarae Nawras (jumps/hurdles).
Thrower Dirk Bortz and middle distance runner Pat Egelus are redshirting.
Pole vaulter Shawn Trimble returns.
Samuel Wambugu and Ben Carpenter will run distance along with Brian Crowl, Josh Ego, Nick Fikes, Michael Greenman, Eric Griffiths, Mana Martin, Alex McGladrey, Jake Peterson, Tim Riley and Ian Schroeder.
Griffith's older brother Jason joins the team as a distance runner.
"He's a little stud, potentially," Welch said with a laugh.
He said there are significant changes with the throwers Jonathan Cosgrove and Adam Cooper are new; and Ryan Cullen and Matt Jones are throwing the javelin.
Damien Johnson and Matt Young are competing in the decathlon.
"Damien is back," Welch said. "He's a pretty potent returner."
Raymond Field returns from a lower leg injury. He was the runner-up at conference in the 400.
Josh Johnson returns.
Eastern football player Luke Orlando is throwing.
Baker High School graduate Michael Woydziak will run the 400 and two relays.
"We have big point scorers back and not little point (scorers)," Welch said. "Time will tell."

Peter Clarke
Born and raised in New York City, Peter Clarke developed a passion for magical creatures and mystical places at an early age. He spent countless hours at the movies and even more hours creating his own characters and worlds with pencil, paper, and paint. Later, at Parsons School of Design, he dreamed of becoming a fantasy illustrator – quite counter to the rage at the time for high concept editorial and studio art. He nevertheless pursued this direction on his own, looking to such greats as Howard Pyle and Alphonse Mucha. He graduated with a B.F.A in illustration.
After graduating, he started getting various jobs – book jackets, fantasy magazine covers, and the odd prototype illustration or creature design. Peter continued to study with David Passalaqua, a dynamic instructor from Parsons who held his own workshops. Then, after a conversation with a friend about what kind of portfolio was necessary to get a Disney Studios internship, he applied and was accepted into the program in 1992. Six months later he was hired to work at the Disney studio in Burbank. He spent the next several years doing visual development for Dinosaur, Fantasia 2000, Brother Bear and Atlantis.
Peter returned to New York in 1997 but continued working for Disney as a conceptual artist on Treasure Planet. In 1999, he was hired at Blue Sky Studios, which was embarking on its first feature film: Ice Age. As the "environmental designer," he imagined the locations with an angular and faceted look, which set the style of the environments for all of the films. Following the completion of the first Ice Age film, he took a year off to produce a body of personal work, which became his book MYTHOS: A Collection of Fantastical Drawings and Paintings.
2012 ArenaNet (concept development)
2009 Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (concept designer)

Researchers from the University of Saskatchewan and the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) have discovered a massive meteor impact from millions of years ago in Canadas western Arctic.
Located on the northwestern part of Victoria Island, the impact crater, or astrobleme, is about 25 km wide and is Canadas 30th known meteorite impact feature.
Its another piece of the cosmic Earth puzzle, explained U of S geology professor Brian Pratt, who made the discovery with GSC colleague Keith Dewing. Impact craters like this give us clues into how the Earths crust is recycled and the speed of erosion, and may be implicated in episodes of widespread extinction of animals in the geological past.

What Makes ME Feel Beautiful?Roni
Someone asked me the other day,
"What makes you feel beautiful?"
My brain started sifting through your typical female beauty "things"…
The perfect pair of shoes?
Losing the last 10 pounds?
Getting my hair done?
A new dress?
But none of them where quite right. Don't get me wrong, I like all those things (I'd especially like losing those pesky pounds) but they don't necessarily make me feel…
The more and more I thought about this beauty thing the more and more one word kept creeping into my thought process…
When I'm confident I feel BEAUTIFUL. I feel unstoppable. I feel gorgeous.
I realize confidence isn't a "thing" it's a feeling. I would even argue it's an emotion. Whatever it is I can recognize in myself now that I'm a little older. I also can see it on other woman as well.
Think about the last time your saw a confident woman walk into a room. It really didn't matter what she looked like or what she was wearing, did it? Nope, becuase a confident woman is a beautiful woman.
Of course this doesn't mean I don't depend on a "thing" or two to help me in the beauty department. For me there are 3 tangible things I need to help on the confidence/beauty front….
1.) a good haircut–I now keep my hair short so it's even more important to for me to stay trimmed up,
2.) waxed eyebrows, and
3.) lip gloss.
Yes.. I'm a lipgloss junky. One of my absolute favorites is Bare Escentuals Buxom Lips.
I never leave the house without some kind of gloss at my disposal.
I mean… how can I be confident with dry lips? I mean.. and I right? 😉

Newborns have this quirk. :) Try to get your baby plenty of daylight by keeping your house bright and going out if the weather permits. There really is no schedule when they're so young. But it will get better by month 4 or so. Hang in there. :)posted 08/22/2011 by SuruchiGK

Hell's Kitchen cutting back on local indie music shows
Maria Isa performing at Hell's Kitchen
Photo by B Fresh Photography
After nearly two and a half years of hosting regular late-night shows, Hell's Kitchen is scaling back on live local rock. While the potential remains for one-off shows, the regular series booked by Mike Siddall will not continue. Instead, the restaurant and venue is focusing on dance nights and calmer dinner concerts, which have proven more lucrative. The venue was a surprising host to local harder music when it first opened its doors to the local scene, but the pairing wasn't a perfect match.
See Also:
Hell's Kitchen ramps up 'Late-Nite' series
Hell's Kitchen CEO/co-owner Cynthia Gerdes offers the following explanation:
I need to be adamant that we are absolutely not discontinuing late nite music, we're simply moving in a different direction musically. In fact, so many of the special events we've hosted have sold out that we're increasing our late nite music. Mike Siddall did an excellent job booking outstanding local indie rock bands, but unfortunately that segment just didn't grow. The number of folks interested in heavy metal or hard rock at our underground venue paled in comparison to sold-out (400+) events such as Soul Friday, Burlesque Shows, DJ Shannon Blowtorch's Berlin Dance Parties, and the quarterly Grown & Sexy shows with folks waiting in line all the way out to the street.
Bottom line: local indie rock shows -- though a blast for those that came -- were the only genre of music not consistently supported by our customers. Instead, they clearly prefer our rock-the-wall dance parties as well as our more sane Dinner Shows, which allow folks to enjoy our late nite food while watching acts such as our sold out Turkeys Comedy Show or jazz shows with The Wolverines.
The remaining Hell's Kitchen rock schedule will continue through June, with the final weekly show coming from Thunderbolt Pagoda on June 22.
The venue has hosted such locals as Charlie Parr, Self-Evident, MaLLy, Gospel Gossip, the Blind Shake, Buildings, and more.
Remaining schedule at Hell's Kitchen:
6/8: Electric Children/Villa Rosa
6/14: Rootbound/Dwell & the Shape Ship
6/15: Fire in the Northern Firs/Still Pacific
6/21: Goodnight Ritual CD Release
6/22: Thunderbolt Pagoda
Update: the previously listed July 19th show (The Great Went CD Release) has been moved to July 20th at The Hexagon.

It was a close call for a Tallahassee police officer Tuesday, as he wrestled a suspect with a gun.
It happened at an apartment on Texas Street late Tuesday night.
According to police reports, OFC Shepherd Bruner was trying to arrest a man when he realized the man had a loaded gun in his waistband, and another one just out of reach under the couch.
"When they looked under the couch, there was a second handgun, which was fully loaded and had one in the chamber," said Tallahassee Police Spokesman John Newland. "We feel that he definitely would have used it on the officer and fortunately for us, it didn't happen that way and the officer was able to control the situation."
Nineteen-year-old Andrew Campbell is facing a long list of charges from intent to sell cocaine and marijuana to assault on a police officer.

Metro Vancouver leaders say plans to clean up an oil spill in Burrard Inlet are not up to snuff - and should be improved before a proposed new pipeline goes forward.
Those are the views of leaders such as Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, who is spearheading a drive by Metro Vancouver to hold pipeline proponent Kinder Morgan to the highest possible standards in Vancouver Harbour.
Drew said Friday that the company certified for cleanup, Western Canada Marine Response Corp., is not committed to starting operations until six hours after an accident.
He said that's not good enough. "It's all over but the shouting after six hours, which is one full tidal cycle," he said. "A one-hour response time is needed. We also need to ensure the best available technology is employed. I am looking for more substantive commitments than (what's) currently been offered."
The Marine Response Corp. is composed of 2,000 members, including barging companies, freighters, cruise ships and oil-handling facilities like Kinder Morgan, which must have arrangements for spill responses.
Drew's efforts have produced action at the regional level. Metro Vancouver's parks committee has passed a motion asking the regional body to conduct its own investigation into spill risks.
The motion will go to the full Metro Vancouver board on Nov. 29.
Kinder Morgan, which already operates an oil-exporting terminal in Burnaby, wants to more than double the capacity of its line from Alberta. The oil would be transported by tankers for world markets.
Drew believes there is wide support among regional politicians to ensure that cleanup operations employ the "best available technology," not the "world-class" system which industry officials keep mooting.
"What is world class? In a business sense, the expression talks about things like meeting customer standards. Who is the customer that is being considered?" he asked.
In a letter to Drew last month, Kinder Morgan's Michael Davies said the company wants to develop a more effective cleanup system.
"Kinder Morgan is working with the Marine Response Corp. to identify enhancements to existing spill responses," he said. "We have heard concern for both response capacity and response times; we are developing a plan to address these issues."
