New York, NY—January 18, 2010
Led by David L. Helfet, M.D., and Dean G. Lorich, M.D., and including physicians from NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, the team has been working round the clock at Hopital de la Communaute Haitienne in Port-au-Prince suburb of Petion-Ville and have already performed more than 50 surgical procedures. With air transport provided by global medical device company Synthes and surgical supplies donated by Synthes, Hospital for Special Surgery and NewYork-Presbyterian, the team is working under extremely rudimentary conditions with limited security.
The medical team currently in Haiti will be relieved tomorrow evening when a new team from Hospital for Special Surgery will take their place. "This is an important humanitarian effort that requires our team to perform hands-on medicine on people who have been suffering since the earthquake last week," said Dr. Helfet. "We had to quickly adjust from the high tech Hospital for Special Surgery environment with the most state-of-the-art radiologic and surgical equipment, to a makeshift hospital where we are trying to save lives and limbs."
According to Louis Shapiro, President and CEO of Hospital for Special Surgery, "It's in times like these that we need to act with skill and compassion. We are extremely proud of our team and the contributions they are making to help the people of Haiti. We will continue to contribute to these efforts as best we can in the coming days and weeks."

Areca (Betel) Nut Chewing Habit among High-School Children in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (Micronesia)
Oakley, Eric, Demaine, L., Warnakulasuriya, Saman, Bulletin of the World Health Organization
The adverse health effects associated with areca (betel) nut use include oral and oropharyngeal cancer, oral premalignant lesions and conditions (oral leukoplakia and submucous fibrosis), gum disease and addiction (1, 2). Chewing areca nut is widespread in south Asia and in the Pacific region (3). A study in Papua New Guinea has reported that areca nut use is highly prevalent among adults in Melanesia (4). In Taiwan, China, where the habit is practised widely, particularly in the aboriginal areas (5), many reports suggest that this chewing habit starts at a young age (6-9).
Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), Republic of Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands belong to the geographical area of Micronesia which covers a large portion of the central and western Pacific Ocean. Apart from their geographical separation from Melanesia and Polynesia, the Micronesians are distinct in their physical appearance. In addition, each island group represents a unique culture with specific customs.
Together Guam and the CNMI form the Northern Mariana Island chain which extends in a north-south direction between the equator and Japan. The CNMI is an unincorporated territory of the USA and consists of 14 principal islands, three of which are inhabited. Saipan, 12.5 miles long and 5.5 miles wide, is the CNMI's largest island and is home to 90% of its population (about 58 000 people in 1995). The indigenous ethnic group are the Chamorro people, who comprise approximately 60% of the population. In the late nineteenth century a migration of islanders from the Caroline Islands (now the Federated States of Micronesia) occurred. The descendants of these immigrants are called Carolinians. Due to the proximity of the CNMI to Asia, there is also a large representation of other racial groups such as Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese and people from the Republic of Korea.
Areca nut use among the inhabitants of Guam has been reported to be widely prevalent (10). In Guam, areca nut (pugua) chewing is an old tradition, particularly among Chamorro people (the indigenous people of Guam and Saipan) (http:// ns.gov.gu/pugua.html). Most of the chewers in the islands surrounding Micronesia use the soft immature nut, split open and filled with lime (calcium hydroxide) and wrapped with piper betel leaf. Chamorros traditionally chewed the hard mature nut with lime with or without the leaf. The chewing habits among adolescents in Micronesia have not been reported. We conducted a cross-sectional study on high-school students in Saipan with the objective of describing the prevalence, correlates of use, reasons for chewing and reasons for disliking the habit, and to characterize the associated clinically detectable oral mucosal lesions.
Materials and methods
On Saipan there are three public high schools with a total of 2415 students of whom 1186 are female and 1229 are male. Several small private high schools, all religion-based, were excluded from the study. Permission to undertake the study in the three schools was obtained from the school authorities. Information about the study and consent forms were sent to the parents and legal guardians by schoolteachers and collected prior to the study. Participation was voluntary. All consenting students (with the signed consent of their parent(s) or guardian(s)) who attended the school on the days of the examinations and were physically present in the science classroom in each school at the time of the visits by the research team participated in the study. The mean age of the high-school students was 16 years (range 14-18 years).
During 2004, the three schools were visited by a dentist who acted as a screener and a registered dental hygienist who administered the questionnaire to the participants. The 15 item questionnaire was self-completed by students during class time under the supervision of the dental hygienist. …

Mark Turgeon making friends in Baltimore
With players to meet, a coaching staff to assemble and a recruiting class to save, Maryland men's basketball coach Mark Turgeon has plenty to do during his first week on the job.
On Friday morning, College Park's busiest man took some time out of his hectic schedule and made an impromptu drive up I-95 for a meet and greet with Bernard C. "Jack" Young, Baltimore's city council president.
"[Maryland assistant] coach Bino [Ranson], he texted me and said the new coach wants to come in and meet you and talk to you. He wanted to meet all the leadership of Baltimore," Young said Friday. "He came here today, spent about 45 minutes in my office. I had somewhere to go and I'm quite sure he had other people to meet. We just talked about basketball, expectations of kids who come from Baltimore [and then go to] Maryland. I found him to be a very likeable person, a straight shooter. I like people who are straight shooters. I look forward to working with him and helping him be successful here in Maryland."
A diehard basketball fan and champion of the city's Recreation and Parks department, Young said his first impression of Turgeon "was just amazing." There was plenty of talk about basketball players staying in school and earning their degrees. And there was some good-natured chiding from Young, a Ravens fan, related to Turgeon's Kansas City Chiefs.
Young said they didn't discuss specific high school players from Baltimore – which would include City shooting guard Nick Faust, whose signing Young attended and who the city council president considers a "surrogate" nephew. But Young did share his feelings with Turgeon about where he'd like to see Charm City's top talent end up in college.
"I told him how Baltimore is a hotbed of talent and we prefer our kids to really stay in the state of Maryland," Young said. "I shared with him [information] on the Towsons, the Coppins, the Morgans, Loyola and Maryland. We would prefer if our kids stay here locally to build up our own programs to be nationally ranked."
Young said Turgeon hopes to meet with other Baltimore leaders, including Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. The new Terps coach already has one prominent ally in the city's political circle.
"What can you say about a man who wants to reach out to the leadership in Baltimore? That says a lot about the coach," Young said. "He said some things that made me know that he's going to be a great coach at Maryland. We just have to make sure the talent from Baltimore looks at Maryland."

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Joyce Giraud: Brandi Glanville Is Attacking Lisa Vanderpump to Become the "Queen Bee"
We witnessed a lot of scenes on this week's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills involving the ladies speaking ill of people they used to be close to. And Joyce Giraud thinks she has the answer as to why it's happening.
Joyce says she's surprised to see Brandi Glanville having bad things to say about Lisa Vanderpump. "Seeing Brandi bashing Lisa to Kim was horrible!" Joyce writes in her Bravo blog. "Brandi bringing back something she had already discussed and resolved in a previous season was a pathetic attempt to stay relevant and was the beginning of what I saw as a coup against Lisa. [Lisa's] very own dream team, conspiring against her!"
And Joyce is similarly surprised at what Yolanda Foster has to say about Lisa. "I frankly do not understand Yolanda's jabs at Lisa," Joyce writes. "I think they are all fighting to be the Queen Bee, so they decided to attack Lisa."
"Brandi is the one who started plotting against Lisa from the get-go when she was supposedly 'warning' me against her very own BFF," she says. "That's a hypocrite and a desperate girl that will even betray her own BFF just to stay relevant!"
Do you agree that Yolanda and Brandi were betraying their friendships to Lisa?

LUBBOCK, Texas – A west Texas man pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of possessing child pornography. He faces a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine and a lifetime of supervised release.
This investigation is being conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Big Spring Police Department. This guilty plea was announced by U.S. Attorney Sarah R. Saldaña of the Northern District of Texas.
Jacob Ray Albarado, 20, of Big Spring, Texas, has been in custody since his arrest in March 2013. U.S. District Judge Sam R. Cummings ordered a presentence investigation report with a sentencing date to be set after that report is completed.
According to court documents, after befriending a minor female (Jane Doe), Albarado communicated with her with his cell phone for more than one year. In late 2012, Jane Doe began a dating relationship with Albarado and ran away from her home to his apartment in Big Spring. Albarado and Jane Doe agreed to produce a video depicting the two of them engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Albarado then used Jane Doe's cell phone to produce a video of her while she engaged in sexually explicit conduct with Albarado.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven M. Sucsy, Northern District of Texas, is in charge of the prosecution.
The investigation was part of Operation Predator, a nationwide HSI initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders and child sex traffickers. HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-347-2423 or by completing its online tip form. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators.
Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, via its toll-free 24-hour hotline, 1-800-843-5678.
HSI is a founding member and current chair of the Virtual Global Taskforce, an international alliance of law enforcement agencies and private industry sector partners working together to prevent and deter online child sexual abuse.

Identity Theft
A Resource Guide for Victims
The crime of identity theft is one of the quickest growing crimes in history. The government statistics are staggering. The largest credit bureaus report millions in losses every year and the crime has risen 1400% since 1997. In 1998 the U.S. Office of General Accounting released a report detailing the damage this crime had caused. They reported 750,000,000 in losses in 1997 alone. The Federal Trade Commission reports that one in four will fall victim of the crime.
In 1998, Penal code section 530.5 was enacted, making it illegal for a person to obtain your personal information and attempt to use it to obtain goods, services, credit or medical information.
The following is a guide for victims and potential victims. It lists what to do's, tips for prevention and resources available through the Sutter County Sheriff's Office and the Internet. This guide also contains many of the important phone numbers that are needed to assist you in your situation.

Wednesday, 04 Mar 2009 10:20 AM
Whoever believes there is no God has not stood in a standby line at an airline counter hoping to board a flight.
The back story: I recently went to Santa Cruz, Calif., to attend a bat mitzvah, a religious rite of passage for a 12- or 13-year-old Jewish girl equivalent to the more well-known bar mitzvah, which marks a Jewish boy's 13th birthday. The ceremonies are somewhat like Confirmation for Christian youths.
In my family, in which we have seven grandchildren in the line created by the union of my sister Pat Thaler and her late husband, Alvin, we celebrate such ceremonies with the whole family: my sister's three sons, their wives, children, and me.
This time, the ceremony was in California. As we sought to fly home, a snowstorm hitting the East Coast was expected to dump 10 to 14 inches of snow on New York City and cause havoc at the city's three major airports.
So as Pat and I left for the San Francisco airport, we hoped for the best and learned the worst. Our direct flight to New York City had been canceled. When we checked in, a young woman took charge of us and, after clicking away at her computer, said: "I can get you to Chicago and there you can connect with a plane to New York."
We were delighted, until we learned upon arriving in Chicago that our flight to New York had been canceled. This time, a man behind the counter said, "You are in Chicago for the night. Tomorrow I can get you on a plane to New York in the afternoon, and because of the weather, I can get you a reduced price for reservations at an airport hotel and put you on standby for the 6:40 a.m. flight."
By this time, we were numb and happy to get to a hotel to rest. When registering at the hotel, the clerk told us to get down early for the shuttle bus to the airport because a wedding party would fill it up and leave us waiting for the next shuttle. Instead of waiting to board the 5:30 a.m. shuttle, we got up at 4 a.m. and took the 4:30 a.m. shuttle.
At the airport, we were notified that the 6:40 a.m. flight to New York was canceled and we ran to the gate for the 6 a.m. to New York, which already had a line of 90 standbys. We added our names.
I said to the woman at the desk, "My name is Ed Koch. Just for identification purposes, I was once mayor of New York City."
She nodded, not at all impressed, and we became standbys 91 and 92.
I knew it was hopeless and prayed that our afternoon confirmed seats would not be canceled. About halfway through the calling of names, I heard the name Koch called and ran to the counter, elated. The young woman said, "Sorry, Mr. Koch, we are calling for Steve Koch."
My sister said to me, "If by a miracle, there is one ticket, you go." I replied, "No, I'll never leave you alone here," as though I were thinking and talking of leaving her in Hitler's Germany.
A short time later, the clerk called, "Ed Koch and Pat Thaler," and we were on the plane.
Those who tell me there is no Intelligent Designer are talking through their hats. As I walked to enter the plane, I almost saw the face of God. But hopefully, that is at least five years off.

Get Out in the Sun
It's still a couple of months away before we can officially say it's summer, but it sure does feel like it already. Winter pretty much passed us by and spring has already been very hot. Your diet and how you care for your skin can promote health, as well as seriously hinder it. Your diet also plays a huge roll in how the sun affects you, for better or for worse.
Now is a good time to revisit some important health topics related to the sun and summertime because many people strive for a bathing-suit body. Speaking of, the Boston Marathon is today, and organizers have warned runners that they should be very fit and well-trained if they are going to race this year. They're actually allowing runners to defer to next year if they want to bow out before the start. I don't anticipate many will take them up on this offer. Eighty-plus degrees is a hot day for a marathon, especially when surrounded by thousands of people. Even if you don't want to exercise in hot weather, (which often isn't a good idea), you'll want to be ready for the sun and heat. Break out your Swimmies and read on.
The first things to address are the sun, sunburn, and sunscreen. Contrary to popular belief, the sun is not bad for you. Actually it's essential for good health. Covering up in long-sleeved clothes and a hat when you're out in the sun is usually a bad idea, especially if you always block your skin from the sun. Sure, burning is very unhealthy, but so is a lack of sun exposure. How about sunscreen? Are you a Banana Boat family or a Coppertone kid? I hope neither. Rubbing common sun lotions on your skin is terrible for you. There are healthy types of sunscreen out there, but they're hard to find, and even many in health food stores such as Whole Foods are not what you should be rubbing on your body every day.
What's the best way to avoid sunburn? Stay indoors? Yeah, but that's not healthy. Actually the best way to not burn is to consume adequate healthy fats and antioxidants in your diet. That means you should be loading up on coconut milk & oil, eggs (yolks), butter, cream, avocados, nuts, seeds, and even some fatty fish or fish oil. Along with that, plenty of colorful fruits, vegetables, and herbs will provide you with the antioxidants to combat any free radicals you might receive from the sun. Hopefully you aren't creating free radicals from your sunscreen – many people do as their sunscreen or sunblock creates photoreactivity on their skin, and that's no good. For more the sun and sunscreen, catch up on the article I wrote last year – here.
Now let's not forget about vitamin D. It's what everybody is talking about and everybody thinks they need to take it. Should you? Well that depends a lot on how you live and where you live. Can you get it from the sun? The angle of the sun's rays, your skin type, and what's on your skin all contribute. Many areas are out of their "Vitamin D Winter" but many locations now only have a small window of the vitamin D emitting UVB rays during the day this time of the year. For everything I think you should know about vitamin D, read here.
Healthy sun exposure is enhanced by adequate nutrition, as mentioned earlier. Fats and antioxidants are so important. Are you looking for a diet to help you either lose some winter weight or one to improve your overall health? I think the ideal diet for the majority of people is a Paleo-Type Diet. Eating this way will improve your health on the inside, and on the outside too. After all, your skin is a reflection of your health. A person eating a healthy diet will not cook like a lobster in the sun. If you're very fair skin you'll stand a much better chance against the sun if your diet is supplying adequate nutrition, and perhaps with some non-harmful sunscreen, if needed, you'll have one of your most enjoyable summers yet.

Did I miss the part on where we could get the ECO sunscreen? Also, my kids have very fair skin; do they make an over 30 spf and do sunscreens even do anything for you over 30 spf?
Ok I know that it's diminishing returns over SPF 30. But. Over 30 does offer additional protection if you are sweating a lot or swimming: You can lose some screen and still get SPF 30 protection.
I am very fair (freckled ginger person). My strategy for vitamin D collection is to slather up on the bits that are hard to chop a carcinoma out of (head, face, hands) and not worry so much about the big expanses that are easier to deal with (Legs, upper arms) .

Net loss for the third quarter of 2012 was $8.6 million, or $0.38 per share, compared with a net loss of $5.8 million, or $0.30 per share, for the third quarter of 2011. During the third quarter of 2012, AcelRx recognized revenue of $166,000 resulting from reimbursement for work completed under a research grant from the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, or USAMRMC, for development of its ARX-04 product candidate, a single dose Sufentanil NanoTab® for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain.
Research and development expenses for the third quarter totaled $6.9 million, compared with $3.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to expenditures associated with three ongoing Phase 3 studies for ARX-01, the Sufentanil NanoTab PCA System, AcelRx's lead product candidate for the treatment of post-operative pain. General and administrative expenses were $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared with $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2011. This decrease resulted primarily from lower intellectual property and market research expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, AcelRx reported a net loss of $22.8 million, or $1.09 per share, compared with a net loss of $13.7 million, or $0.83 per share, for the same period in 2011. As of September 30, 2012, AcelRx had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $23.4 million, compared to $31.9 million at June 30, 2012 and $35.8 million at December 31, 2011.
"We continue to make progress in the execution of our Phase 3 program for ARX-01. During the third quarter, we initiated our third Phase 3 clinical trial, received four additional U.S. patents related to our sufentanil NanoTab technology and we were notified that ARX-01 was deemed sufficiently novel that we would be allowed to use the centralized filing procedure for ARX-01 in Europe," stated Richard King, president and CEO of AcelRx. "In addition, we completed treatment of the final subject in our Phase 3 clinical trial comparing ARX-01 to IV PCA with morphine. We expect to announce top line data from this first trial later this month and results from our two other ARX-01 trials is expected in the first quarter of 2013."
Review of Third Quarter Accomplishments and Corporate Update
- In August 2012, AcelRx initiated the third of three planned Phase 3 clinical trials for ARX-01, a double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy and safety trial in adult patients with post-operative pain following hip or knee replacement surgery. This study is designed to enroll approximately 400 patients and is being conducted at approximately 45 academic and community hospitals in the U.S. The primary endpoint is the sum of the pain intensity difference to baseline, over the 48 hour study period, or SPID-48, which is the FDA standard for post-operative acute pain studies.
- Dosing of the last patient in the Phase 3 open label, active comparator study comparing efficacy and safety of the Sufentanil NanoTab System to the commonly used IV PCA with morphine is complete, and top line data are expected in November, 2012. Top line results from the two placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical studies, one treating post-operative pain in patients following abdominal surgery and the other treating post-operative pain in patients following hip or knee replacement, are both expected during the first quarter of 2013.
- During the third quarter, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued four additional patents covering AcelRx's proprietary NanoTab technology. AcelRx has now received a total of five U.S. patents underpinning its four product development programs and proprietary NanoTab technology.
- The European Medicines Agency, or EMA, notified AcelRx that it will permit registration of the Sufentanil NanoTab PCA System via the centralized procedure. This procedure will allow AcelRx to submit a single Marketing Authorization Application to the EMA for approval to market ARX-01 in all 27 EU member states, as well as in the 4 European Free Trade Association countries.
- In early November 2012, AcelRx dosed the first patient in a Phase 2 study for ARX-04, its single dose sufentanil NanoTab product candidate for the management of acute pain. The study is funded by a grant from the USAMRMC and will enroll approximately 100 patients following bunionectomy surgery, randomizing them into one of three groups to receive one of two sufentanil NanoTab dosage amounts (20 mcg and 30 mcg) or placebo.
Financial Outlook
AcelRx anticipates that research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first half of 2013 will increase as AcelRx conducts and completes the Phase 3 clinical trials for ARX-01. Development of ARX-04 through Phase 2 clinical work and Phase 3 preparatory work is expected to be fully funded by a grant from USAMRMC. The development of ARX-04 beyond Phase 2 and initial preparations for Phase 3 is dependent on the identification of additional funding from USAMRMC or other sources. Additionally, AcelRx anticipates modest increases in general and administrative expenses due to costs associated with expansion of its corporate infrastructure to support ongoing development of its product candidates.

After putting on contrived, dull stories short on laughs last week, "The League" gets back on track with its latest.
The big show-stealer this week is a vastly stupider Ruxin. Tired of his lording his superior brain over the group, Pete has the guys take the Wonderlic intelligence test (also taken by NFL players) to determine who is officially the smartest once and for all. Ruxin comes in a distant third behind Pete and Andre, the unforeseen effect being a mental block that manifests as a significant drop in his IQ. Stupid Ruxin is kind of the best: he makes simple grammatical errors, puts a judge's robe on backwards... it's as if Nick Kroll played Taco this week, and he did it better than Taco. Perhaps I've gone too far.
Meanwhile, since he has been deprived of his commissioner status this season, Kevin attempts to fill the void by moving toward judge status, exhibiting a truly disturbing "judge face" that legitimately looks like he's trying to pass a kidney stone.
Taco attempts to make a sweet gesture to his brother by commissioning an ice sculpture of Kevin's likeness at a party where the wannabe-judge is attempting to ingratiate himself to the powers that be. Unfortunately, Stupid Ruxin fumbles the purchase, delivering a sculpture of only Kevin's lower half, and according to Taco, he doesn't even get the penis bulge right, pretty critical in a sculpture of that area.
Once again, this week there's little for Pete and Andre to do this week aside from ridicule Ruxin's drop in intelligence and get head lice, respectively. Thankfully it doesn't affect the episode negatively as it did last week.
Final Grade: B
I found the "stupid" Ruxin character, well.... stupid (and not very funny). Taco was also sharp as a tack this time, totally against character established through the whole series. In contrast, I preferred last week's episode (Rafi rules!) and don't particulary care that each character gets a lot of airtime. I just want to laugh.

Environmental and Human Health Effects of Manufactured Nanomaterials
The purpose of this collaborative research program is to strengthen support by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) of research un the potential implications of nanotechnology and manufactured nanomaterials on human health and the environment. Research areas of interest include the toxicology, fate, transport/transformation, and bioavailability of nanomaterials, as well as human exposures to these materials. Proposals should address one of these topics.
The EPA supports research to meet its mission of protecting the environment and human health. Information used in risk assessment, which comprises hazard identification and exposure assessment, is central to the EPA's methods to meet its mission. As such, the EPA is interested in funding research on the possible risks and exposure routes of newly produced chemicals and materials at the nanoscale.
At the NSF, proposals should assist and enable the engineering and scientific communities to advance the frontiers of research, innovation, and education. The research should focus on emerging and potentially transformative research ideas, application of new expertise, or new approaches to established research topics.
NIOSH supports research to identify and investigate the relationships between hazardous working conditions and associated occupational diseases and injuries; to develop more sensitive means of evaluating hazards at work sites, as well as methods for measuring early markers of adverse health effects and injuries; to develop new protective equipment, engineering control technology, and work practices to reduce the risk of occupational hazards; and to evaluate the technical feasibility or application of a new or improved occupational safety and health procedure, method, technique, or system.
Nanotechnology has been defined by the interagency Subcommittee on Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology of the federal Office of Science and Technology Policy as research and technology development at the atomic, molecular, or macromolecular levels, in the length scale of approximately 1- to 100-nanometer (nm) range, to provide a fundamental understanding of phenomena and materials at the nanoscale, and to create and use structures, devices, and systems that have novel properties and functions because of their small and/or intermediate size. The novel and differentiating properties and functions are developed at a critical length scale of matter typically under 100 nm. Nanotechnology research and development includes manipulation under control of the nanoscale structures and their integration into larger material components, systems, and architectures. Within these larger-scale assemblies, the control and construction of their structures and components remains at the nanometer scale. In some particular cases, the critical length scale for novel properties and phenomena may be under 1 nm (e.g., manipulation of atoms ~0.1 nm) or larger than 100 nm (e.g., nanoparticle-reinforced polymers have the unique feature at ~200-300 nm as a function of the local bridges or bonds between the nanoparticles and the polymer). See http://www.nano.gov/for more information.
Many industries are currently involved in nanotechnology-related activities. Among these activities is the manufacture of nanoscale materials that are used in a wide range of products, such as sunscreens, composites, medical devices, and chemical catalysts. According to data collected by the National Nanotechnology Initiative, the quantity of manufactured nanoscale materials is expected to grow significantly in the next five years. Business Communications Company has projected a $10 billion global demand for nanoscale materials, tools, and devices in 2010. This large increase in demand and production could lead to environmental exposures of humans and other organisms to nanoscale materials. …

During the two months of my mother's steep decline, I fell into a habit during my visits to farmer's markets. I would purchase two bouquets, one for my apartment and one for her room. I didn't think much about it one way or another. Just an inexpensive way to try to cheer her up.
After she died, I discovered I couldn't buy flowers any more. There was almost a mild paralysis in me, as I neared the flower stand. The last bouquet I bought sat in its vase on my dining table, wilting and stinking up its water, until the cleaning lady threw it out. Isn't it odd the way our selves make decisions outside the city limits of our consciousness? I simply had no conscious say in the matter of flower-buying. It's one of the little ways I became aware that my sorrow will linger. I miss my mom. I have no parents now. And I never had siblings. It feels a little lonely.
Anyway, if this were the sort of blog where I took pictures with my cell phone and posted them, I would show you the little bouquet I finally bought, three weeks after her death. It's very pretty, but it doesn't feel exactly right, sitting there. But it's a beginnning.

How are large deceased fish disposed of?
I have never had any fish too big to flush once it died. Now, with my 90 gallon, there are a bunch of possibilities of fish that I never had before, including fish too big to flush. When a fish too big to flush dies, what do you do with it?
Bury it in your garden. The fish will decompose and fertilize your plants.
Posted via Mobile Device
I do the same. If you don't have a garden, put the dead fish in a ziplock in the freezer and on trash day take it out and plop it in a can.
i prefer the burying.throwing out and arowana or a flowehorn in the rash is asking for bad luck and it's not very respectful to the fish either. if the fish jumped out of the tank maybe you can make it dinner... joking.but seriously there are people who actually eat these fish.
Cook him and eat him.
Best with some sort of marmalade
Or stick it in your neighbors mail box :3
I guess you could also chuck it in the woods for the ferals to eat :twisted:
I read a book once that warned people to incinerate their fish...
Their argument was about diseases accidentally getting introduced to the water supply (same reason you're not supposed to throw invasive plants like anarchis or hygrophila outside.)
Umm i don't think people will go that far
If I had an incinerator....

Other kids won't play with mine?
We take our two and a half year old to the park once a week. She is extremely social and wants to play with other kids there, she is our only child. She runs up to other kids and asks "Do you want to play with me?" or will ask them their name and if she can play with them. Ninety nine percent of the time the other kids look at her and walk away from her. Poor little thing follows them and asks again, and then they run away from her. She continues to ask three or four more kids and she gets the same reaction or they tell her to get away or tell her "No". Usually it's the eight or nine year old girls that take pity on her and play with her. We tell her it's okay if no one wants to play with her and my husband or I will play with her. Even as I am typing this I am heartbroken. I never expected kid to be so cold. I don't get it. She asks politely and introduces herself. Has anyone else experienced this?

Wow! My daughter is only 17 months old- so a bit younger- but thankfully, we have not experienced this yet. I can't believe that the kids wouldn't want to play with her! Maybe you should try to join a play group for your daughter to see if they would be willing to play with her vs. hoping that random kids will play with her. Good luck to you!posted 05/10/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

Katie Holmes Fights For Her Beliefs - Sends Suri To Catholic SchoolTrix
There seems to be a lot of questions out there regarding Katie's marriage to Tom. Is it a sham? Does he control everything she does?
It seems we now have a little better insight to that.
Last week Katie put Tom on a sex diet and enrolled Suri into a Catholic pre-school. Sounds like she had a busy week.
A source said, "They had been having huge problems agreeing on her school. To say they were having arguments is putting it mildly but Tom came around to the idea in the end."
Well, good for her. She got her way and perhaps she's more of a fighter than we first gave her credit for.

A couple of months ago, we were told that Xbox Live Rewards would be incentivizing Achievements this fall. Microsoft has now rolled out that functionality, which allows Gold users who sign up to earn rewards based on how many Achievements they unlock. Looking at the prizes, it's a smart move on their part.
Earning 3,000 to 9,999 Gamerscore will give you a "special gift" (with an approximate retail value of $0.25) during your birthday month; 10,000 to 24,999 Gamerscore adds a 1% rebate on Xbox Live Marketplace purchases every month; and 25,000+ Gamerscore bumps the rebate up to 2%.
Taken as a bonus for something you'd do normally (earn Achievements and buy stuff), it's not completely terrible. I mean, it could have just been Avatar rewards. Frankly, I'm surprised it wasn't.

Katy Perry reportedly is planning to change her image with a complete style makeover in the wake of her divorce from Russell Brand. A source said:
"Katy now wants to find a mature, kind, more settled man and to appeal to him she realizes she must grow up and move well away from her garish image. She's been talking to a brilliant counselor in Los Angeles who's helping her to move on from the pain of her marriage breakdown. She now understands that major changes in her professional life will help her make changes in her personal life."
Well, Katy wouldn't be the first woman to change her look after a breakup! (And honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing the blue hair go) But she's going past skin-deep changes with professional changes, too.
"Katy's talking to top Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein about how to move into acting, as she is desperate to be taken seriously. She realizes people may doubt her abilities but is confident she can change people's minds. She feels she's successfully reinvented herself before when she moved away from her religious family and that she can do so again after Russell."
Of course Katy can reinvent herself. The question is: should she? I'm all for change if it truly reflects a change within. But changing herself just to attract a certain kind of guy? I don't know about that. What do you think?

In recent months, we've shared with you the story of the "New Leash on Life Program" at Craven Correctional Institution in Vanceboro. It's a program that pairs up inmates with homeless dogs.
The inmates perform a community service by training the dogs to become more adoptable.
WITN's own Doppler Dog is a graduate. Monday, Eastern Correctional Institution in the Greene County town of Maury launched its own "New Leash on Life Program." The prison has partnered with three area animal control and protection agencies.
Eight inmates have been selected to train four dogs. Each dog will have a primary trainer and an apprentice trainer.
WITN Meteorologist Jamie Arnold and Doppler Dog were proud to be on hand for the kickoff event.
You can find more about Doppler and the "New Leash on Life Program" by clicking on "Doppler's Doghouse."

IBERDROLA will finance the acquisition of the U.S. company Energy East via an accelerated and privately placed capital increase (Accelerated Bookbuilt Offer, ABO). The decision was unanimously approved by the Board.
This placement, through which 85 million new shares will be issued, representing approximately 7 % of existing capital, will enable the Company to reinforce shareholder funds and its solid financial situation while broadening the shareholder base.
IBERDROLA has appointed ABN AMRO ROTHSCHILD, CREDIT SUISSE and JP MORGAN as Joint Global Co-ordinators and Bookrunners to the transaction.
The proceeds of this capital increase will be used to finance the acquisition of Energy East, which was approved unanimously by the Board on Monday. The operation represents a renewed vote of confidence in the management of IBERDROLA and its Chairman Ignacio Galán following the successful completion of the acquisition of ScottishPower.
The Board praised the performance of IBERDROLA over the past few years, describing its growth and international penetration as "highly satisfactory". It highlighted, among other fruits of the strategy that has been implemented since 2001, value creation, shareholder returns, job stability and professional developments for employees, quality and security of supply to customers and diversification of risk.
Finally, in the light of the achievements of the Company and projects being developed in the near future, which have transformed IBERDROLA into "one of the world's leading energy companies", Board directors, aware of the importance of the work carried out, unanimously expressed their "commitment to the Company's progress" and their "unconditional support for the management team and the leadership of the Chairman."
The new shares, which are not eligible for the final 2006 dividend (€ 0.593per share to be paid on July 2nd, are expected to start trading on the stock exchange on June 29th with a different ISIN code. The two share types will be unified on July 2nd, when the new shares will have the same economic rights as the old shares.
Improvements in Corporate Governance
The Board also approved changes in IBERDROLA's Auditing and Compliance Committee, whereby member Sebastián Battaner becomes Chairman, the current chairman Ricardo Álvarez Isasi becomes Secretary, and the current Secretary, Julio de Miguel Aynat, becomes a member.
The Board also resolved to modify the IBERDROLA Group's Code of Professional Conduct, to align it with other corporate governance standards used in the company, which have been adapted to the new recommendations issued by Spain's National Securities Market Commission (CNMV).
Among the changes are the inclusion of a vision statement –to be the preferred company on the basis of commitment to value creation, quality of life and protection of the environment— and corporate values (ethics and corporate responsibility, business results, respect for the environment, trust and a sense of belonging to the IBERDROLA Group).
Other new clauses in the Code of Professional Conduct refer to the commitment to human and labour rights, the principle of non-discrimination and equal opportunity for all employees, the reconciling of work and family life, the concept and treatment of insider information, corporate social responsibility, and sustainable development.
The Board also approved the amendment of the Regulations of the Board of Directors to establish the mandatory retirement age for all board members at 70 years.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Pool time and beach sand can be rough on your smartphone.
Now you're thinking of buying a new one, even handing down that tablet to the kids to upgrade that device, too.
Whatever the reasons for your summer tech enhancements, Consumer Reports identified some gadget trends that might help.
Smartphone and tablet screens are getting sharper and wider with more pixels in each display, so text, images and video look even better.
Tablets stole much of the E-readers thunder and sales have plummeted.'
But, back-to-campus shoppers who plan to rely on e-textbooks may find them a better deal than a tablet.
"They're still a very compelling device, particularly for ardent book readers. They have alot going for them. They've become very inexpensive. They're still the best screen on which to read books," says Paul Reynolds.
And, Consumer Reports finds battery life getting longer with each new generation of smartphone and tablet from manufacturers like Apple and Samsung.
Experts say even if it has been a year or two since you've replaced your tablet or smartphone, battery life alone, particularly on the smartphone, might be a good reason to upgrade.

Tuxes and Tiaras at the Met Ball and Childhood Foundation Gala
By Marcus Samuelsson | May 10, 2012
I always like to be out and about, but it's rare that I have the opportunity to don my best two nights in a row. I'm sure you heard about the Costume Institute's Met Ball (if you haven't, it's the fashion industry's night to get as wild and glamorous as they can be), and Maya and I were beyond thrilled to attend this year's opening of "Schiaperelli & Prada: Impossible Conversations".
We both wore Ralph Lauren (Maya looked impossibly stunning) and the scene was just fantastic. Bruno Mars performed (his renditions of "Dirty Diana" and "Roxanne" killed!) and I got to catch up with some of my favorite Knicks players: Amar'e, Carmelo, Tyson. We sat with Chelsea Handler and Andre Balazs, chatted with Kanye and Rick Ross, and I took this gorgeous photo of Maya with Queen B. Read More

Wal-Mart's Price Savvy Ad Campaigns Strike A Nerve
investigate whether or not Wal-Mart's low price claims are valid. After two years of declining sales, Wal-Mart began running an advertising campaign during the spring of last year reemphasizing the low prices it can offer consumers. By being able to identify competitors' prices and turn them into advertisements in short order, the company was essentially able to differentiate itself from the competition in real time. It claims that sales were up 1.2% in the regions where the ads ran over regions where the ads were not aired.After being publicly admonished for charging higher prices, it is not surprising that competitors would be frustrated with Wal-Mart's tactics. However, taking matters to state consumer protection agencies is a step not often seen in retail. Best Buy (BBY), for example, claims that because of its price match guarantee it was forced to lower prices on certain items despite Wal-Mart not having sufficient stock of these items in their stores. Best Buy claims this cost them company millions of dollars in sales over the holiday period. Additionally, they believe that Wal-Mart was not comparing like products in many of their advertisements, claiming to offer lower prices for entirely different, and in many cases inferior, products. Wal-Mart defended its ad campaign on Thursday however, with a spokesman saying, "We are confident on the legal, ethical and methodological standards associated with our price comparison advertisements." What does this mean for Wal-Mart and other companies in the field? This is not the first time the brand finds itself in hot water over this type of price comparison advertising, as Target (TGT) accused them of similar behavior in the 1990s. Wal-Mart ultimately changed some of their ads after that claim.Wal-Mart's (WMT) claim to fame is centered on its status as a rock bottom retailer, providing the lowest prices for consumers across America. However, some notable competitors are publicly lashing out at the company for what they believe to be misleading and unethical advertising that has taken place over the past year. In at least two states, Michigan and Florida, attorneys-general have been contacted by competitors imploring them to

St. John's Recreation Center
Parks Cuts The Ribbon And Unveils Mural At St. John's Playground
Tuesday, April 28, 2009
No. 36
Commissioner Adrian Benepe today joined City Council Member Albert Vann, Executive and Artistic Director of CITYarts Inc. Tsipi Ben-Haim, Brazilian artist Duda Penteado, Community Board 8 Chair Robert Matthews, and children from P.S. 92 and P.S. 243 to cut the ribbon on over $4.3 million in renovations and to unveil the beautiful mural, Nature is Love on Earth, at St. John's Playground in Brooklyn.
"St. John's Playground has been transformed into a state-of-the-art recreational destination in central Brooklyn with over $4.3 million in improvements," said Commissioner Benepe. "Thanks to the vision of Council Member Vann, the community benefits from a new playground with a basketball and handball complex. Under Mayor Bloomberg's PlaNYC, we will soon convert its asphalt yard into a vibrant turf field. And all visitors to the park can enjoy the beautiful mural, Nature is Love on Earth, created through a collaboration between Parks and CITYarts, that celebrates nature while raising awareness of global warming."
Thanks to allocations of $2,340,000 from Council Member Vann and $342,000 from Mayor Bloomberg, Parks transformed the St. John's basketball courts into a state-of-the-art outdoor athletic venue, featuring six new basketball courts and 12 handball courts with recreational lighting.
Thanks to an additional $1,291,000 from Council Member Vann, $100,000 from Mayor Bloomberg, and $250,000 from a State EPF Grant, Parks reconstructed the playground with new play equipment, a spray shower, swings, a grassy hill, benches, fencing and landscaping. Additionally, as part of PlaNYC's 'asphalt to turf' initiative, Parks will soon convert the park's asphalt yard into a multi-purpose synthetic turf field for soccer, football and baseball, with $3.3 million in Mayoral funds.
After cutting the ribbon, Parks unveiled the beautiful community mural, Nature is Love on Earth,
created through a partnership between CITYarts and Parks. The mural was coordinated by artist
Duda Penteado and designed and painted by young people from the St. John's Recreation Center
and the surrounding community. It is the 272nd public art project coordinated by CITYarts.

St. John's Recreation Center
The seating area in the playground behind St. John's Recreation Center will be renovated and the seats have been removed. This project will reconstruct the outdoor sitting area adjacent to the recreation center in St. John's Park. The sitting area will act as the central hub for the many recreational activities the park offers, as well as a place for rest and passive recreation. In addition to views of the colorful mural on the center's wall, park goers will enjoy new benches, fencing, picnic tables, game tables and chairs, a drinking fountain, flowering trees and various ornamental plantings.

These types of searches, sometimes called administrative, regulatory, or special need searches, all have one common element: they are not being done for the normal law enforcement needs of discovering crime, but for purposes that are not related to criminal investigation. These searches serve important societal needs other than crime control. The noncriminal purposes that we will discuss in this chapter include inspections of business establishments, drug testing programs, fire scene inspection, border searches, automobile checkpoint and inventory searches, probation supervision searches, and school disciplinary searches.
Initially such government activity was not governed by the Fourth Amendment. In Frank v. Maryland (1959), a case involving a Baltimore City Code provision allowing a health inspector to enter a home without a warrant if he had cause to suspect a nuisance, the Court upheld the validity of inspection without a warrant when it was part of a regulatory scheme designed to protect the general welfare of the community. In reaching this decision, the Court considered the long history of allowing this type of search, the magnitude of the problem the health inspection statute was designed to address, and the statutory safeguards that limited the demands actually imposed on the building owners. The Court decided that the Fourth Amendment did not apply because the search was not conducted to obtain evidence of criminal action. The Court reasoned that the primary purpose of the Fourth Amendment, like the Fifth Amendment, is to provide self-protection: "The right to resist unauthorized entry which has as its design the securing of information to fortify the coercive power of the state against the individual." Thus, unless the government wanted access for the purpose of securing evidence for criminal prosecution, the right to self-protection was not in jeopardy, and the Fourth Amendment did not apply.

'Nationalise mines!' - MalemaWed, 19 Sep 2012 10:30 AM
Expelled ANC Youth League president Julius Malema has likened critics of the nationalisation of mines to those who opposed the end of apartheid.
Malema was asked by Talk Radio 702 host John Robbie on Wednesday how the nationalisation of mines could take place and whether it was plausible.
"You sound like people who opposed our struggle for freedom," answered Malema.
"You are arguing exactly like they argued, that we cannot run the economy... I am telling you that it can sound difficult until it is done."
Malema said the government should "not necessarily" expropriate mines, but should instead use Botswana as a model, where the state owned 51 percent of mine shareholding.
"Why are you not having a problem with Botswana? [Mine companies] are more than willing to work with government in Botswana, but when they come here they are refusing," Malema said.
"I'm not calling for wholesale, blanket nationalisation. We still encourage the involvement of the private sector. We're talking about greater control and participation of the state in the economy."
Malema also responded to questions about reports that the Hawks had concluded their corruption probe and he would soon be arrested.
He said he was not aware of any intention to arrest him.
"I hear that from you at the start of the programme. I hear that from papers," Malema said.
"I've been 'getting arrested' since 2009," he said.
Malema said that if the police wanted to arrest him, they would not have to "create an unnecessary scene".
"Those that are looking for me, they don't have to create an unnecessary scene, they just have to call me, 'Mr. Malema, report to Polokwane police station at 9am', and I'll be there," he said.
Malema also told Robbie that he would return to the ANC, regardless of the outcome of the party's national elective conference in Mangaung.
Malema said he was expelled from the party because a "faction" in the ANC, which was led by President Jacob Zuma, was determined to be re-elected to positions.
"I was booted out by those who felt threatened by my presence in the organisation," Malema said. "They thought my presence threatened their re-election at Mangaung."
