MARCH OF DIMES - March for Babies
The company i work for actually helped sponser March of Dimes this year...the year i was pregnant. They had their march a few weeks before my water broke early and i had a 26 weeker. I didnt march but I did donate, but only because it was a work thing and i didnt really look into the whole thing, now i wish i would have all the more.
Mommy to my former 26 weeker- DD Felicity (4) and my termie- DS Xander (1)
we were the Ambassador Family for this year as well for our area. We had such a great time a raised about $2,000 dollars as a family team :)
I have always donated in the past because I have felt that it was a great cause but not until this year knowing what they do did it actually hit close to home with the birth of my son. Now I make sure that all my donations are done in his name and his honor :). But it's such a wonderful cause and I do hope to march and take him with me next year.
C mom to: J 5/09 34w 4d. SARCASM IS A GIRLS BEST FRIEND... Freedom of religion is great but freedom from religion is by far a more grand feeling.
I donated and marched last year. I'm hoping to organize it a little more next year though... get a team to march with me and raise more money...

I had never known what they did either until after I had DD. A friend of mine, who lost one of her twins at birth, sent me information for the walk . . . it was the weekend DD was released from the NICU so we didn't attend. I am SOOOO wanting to get involved this year though and possibly get a team together. Has anyone put your own team together? How did it go?

I haven't marched, but my ds #1 had done Reading Champions before (they get pledges for each book read during March) and raised money that way. Well, let me tell you, we pursued it big time this past March! Both boys did it, and although they mostly got flat pledges (vs per book), they each read over 30 books (for older ds 30 pages of a chapter book counts as a book). Dh's work was pretty supportive, but I think almost half of what we raised was personal too. The boys raised over $500 together, and their school broke their own record for the most they'd raised. I know at dh's work, the boys made letters with pics of them with dd when she was tiny to put with their sign up sheets, and at the awards ceremony at their school later in the spring, they mentioned dd being a preemie.
I am currently awaiting volunteer opportunities with our local chapter, having called a few weeks ago. They might have me do a radio interview on Nov 17 (Preemie Awareness Day), but the time slots were very early and I have to get my boys on the bus, so not sure.

We put our own team together. You can do everything online now including taking donations.
they have e-mails you can send out to let people join your team and it will also let you register for your walk.
you might need to wait a little while to start a team for next year, but I haven't looked into it yet.
I donated and organized a team for the march this year.

Part of my job here at PAN is keeping track of the latest research about how pesticides are harming children's health. This has kept me too busy of late, as studies seem to be coming fast and furious linking pesticides with childhood asthma, autism, birth defects, cancer and more. One recent study gave me serious pause. We already understand that some chemicals can change how our genes function; now researchers know that this damage can be passed from one generation to the next. I'm no scientist, but I understand enough to know that compromising the DNA of future generations is... Read More

The controversial pesticide atrazine, found in U.S. drinking water and linked to cancers, birth defects and low fertility, is on the big screen this weekend. And Syngenta, largest pesticide corporation in the world and maker of atrazine, is fighting with fire. The chemical giant's PR machine is in high gear, downplaying the risks of atrazine exposure and even claiming that its gender-bending chemical can save the day. Greenwashing at its best. Corporate spin machine In response to last week's release of the film Last Call at the Oasis, Syngenta's... Read More

I've been hearing through the grapevine that the U.S. Department of Agriculture was startled by the public uproar over Dow AgroScience's application for approval of its controversial new GE corn, designed to be used with the infamous and highly hazardous weedkiller, 2,4-D. By quietly opening the public comment period on December 21, 2011, the agency had apparently hoped to slide this one by without attracting public attention. Instead, a vocal and growing movement of people from all walks of life has emerged to challenge the Big 6 pesticide/biotech companies' introduction... Read More

Today, PAN released water sampling results from communities across four Midwestern states — Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota — that indicate atrazine is present in drinking water at levels well above those linked to birth defects and low birth weight. Exposure to this common herbicide and potent endocrine disruptor can also increase risk of several types of cancer, including ovarian and thyroid. Atrazine is found more often than any other pesticide in groundwater — 94% of drinking water tested by USDA contains the chemical. The weedkiller is the second... Read More

Media are all atwitter about a new Nature study by researchers at McGill University and the University of Minnesota that compares organic and conventional yields from 66 studies and over 300 trials. In extrapolating the study's findings to the charged question of how to feed the world, more than a few got it all wrong. The core finding of the study is that "yield differences [between organic and conventional] are highly contextual, depending on system and site characteristics." In other words, sometimes organic does better, sometimes conventional does. In fact, the... Read More

Last week, the Chinese government officially announced that the country will phase out use of Syngenta's paraquat, an herbicide linked to Parkinson's, cancer and reduced fertility. The official announcement stated that the ban had been imposed "in order to protect the health and safety of the people" and gave a phaseout timeline of four years. Paraquat is listed as a highly hazardous pesticide, and, according to Keith Tyrell, Director of PAN UK, paraquat ...is one of the deadliest pesticides available in the world today.

On Tuesday, 971,126 signatures were delivered to county registrars throughout California in support of a ballot initiative to require labeling of genetically engineered (GE) foods. Ninety-three percent of Americans say they want to know when they are eating GE food. With up to 80% of the non-organic products on our shelves containing GE ingredients, and little-to-no studies on their long term health effects, people across the country are concerned. And people in California are demanding the right to know. With a spot on the ballot now virtually secured, Californians will have the... Read More

What's Really in the U.S. Military Budget?
Much more than the oft-cited $515.4 billion.
It's time for our annual game: How much is really in the U.S. military budget?
As usual, it's about $200 billion more than most news stories are reporting. For the proposed fiscal year 2009 budget, which President Bush released today, the real size is not, as many news stories have reported, $515.4 billion—itself a staggering sum—but, rather, $713.1 billion.
Before deconstructing this budget, let us consider just how massive it is. Even the smaller figure of $515.4 billion—which does not include money for fighting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan—is roughly equal to the total military budgets of all the rest of the world's nations combined. It is (adjusting for inflation) larger than any U.S. military budget since World War II.
But this is simply the Pentagon's share of the military budget (again, that part of it not related to war costs). Since most reporters writing about this are Pentagon reporters, that's the part of the budget that they consider their turf.
However, the Office of Management and Budget's documents focus on a broader category called "National Defense," which also includes $16.1 billion for nuclear warheads and reactors under the Department of Energy's control and $5.2 billion for "defense-related activities" at other agencies (mainly the FBI). There is also $4.3 billion for mandated programs (most having to do with military retirement and health care for victims of radiation sickness).
So, that brings the total, so far, to $541 billion. ("National Defense," by the way, does not include programs in the Department of Homeland Security; that's another story.)
Then there is the $70 billion emergency war supplemental that the Pentagon is requesting for FY 2009. (In one sense, it is strange that they're requesting this upfront; supplementals are usually submitted in the middle of the year, to cover unanticipated expenses. In another sense, it's refreshing that Robert Gates' Pentagon—as opposed to Donald Rumsfeld's—is making no effort to disguise what will definitely be needed.)
Now we're up to $611 billion.
Finally, as the Pentagon's budget documents note up front, in the "Summary Justification," Congress has yet to approve $102 billion left over from the supplemental for FY 2008. And so—in terms of how much Congress is being asked to authorize this year—that brings us to $713 billion.
But let's delve into the Pentagon's base line figure—the $515.4 billion that has nothing directly to do with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. What's in there? Do the U.S. armed forces really need that much for the everyday maintenance of national security?
About a quarter of that sum—$125.2 billion—is for personnel costs: understandable. Another third—$180 billion—is for operations and maintenance of equipment (a bit more mysterious, since this is apart from the O&M costs brought on by the war). But a larger sum still—$184 billion—is for what the Pentagon calls "major weapons systems."
This includes $45.6 billion for military aircraft, including $6.7 billion to buy 16 more F-35 stealth planes. The F-35 is still in its early stages; the Pentagon has, to date, spent only about one-tenth of what it estimates to be a $300 billion program. It's not too late to ask if we need such a costly, sophisticated fighter jet, given that air-to-air combat is not likely to be a major element of future wars and, to the extent that it might be, we're way ahead—in numbers and technology—of any prospective foe. Or let's accept the proposition that China's air force is going to be a formidable rival by the year 2020: Do we need to tear full-speed ahead on the F-35 now? Could we slow the program down and see how things shape up?

David Bowden acknowledged up front that it's rare for him to mention his Columbus Indiana Philharmonic and heavy metal band Metallica in the same breath. But that's precisely what he recently did when he previewed the professional ensemble's season that opens Sept. 13.
That's because superstar violinist Rachel Barton Pine, among the most sought-after strings players worldwide, will bring her eclectic tastes to town for several days of music. Oh, and she's playing standard Mozart and more with the orchestra.
But the Chicago musician, with her own metal band playing originals to Metallica and Pantera covers, will perform a variety of styles in a separate concert with some Philharmonic players Sept. 11 at The Commons — with details still unfolding.
Bowden, who began the booking process three years ago, calls Pine, 39, "a first-tier, internationally known soloist." She is also a great magnet for younger audiences, including even headbangers, that the Philharmonic actively seeks.
"We hope that people will find out about her and her metal band and say, 'I've got to hear this girl,'" Bowden said.
The eight-date season features other must-hears, including the high-energy choral group, Indiana University's Singing Hoosiers in February, and homegrown vocalist Mary Claire King in April.

It's easy to forget that Larry Phillips hasn't announced his candidacy against Ron Sims for King County Executive what with the numerous appearances in local media (including us) criticizing pretty much anything and everything about how Sims runs the county. But technically he hadn't made it official, until today. Sort of.
Phillips just kicked out a press release to say he'll be officially announcing his candidacy tomorrow at 9 a.m. This being the internet age and all, he hasn't waited for the for-reals-official announcement to launch his Web site www.goforitlarry.com.
"I'm running for King County Executive to chart a new beginning for the county," said Phillips. "Times are tough right now, and the public deserves a county government that is more relevant, inclusive, cost-effective and productive."
Six months ago, Phillips formed an exploratory committee to measure the grassroots support for a campaign for King County Executive. Since then, he has received hundreds of responses and contributions from people from all over King County with the same message: Go For It Larry!
Phillips has a strong record of public service as a King County Councilmember. He has worked to keep sheriffs on our streets, to protect thousands of acres of forest lands and to solve our region's transportation gridlock.
Phillips plans to travel to every corner of the county to learn from the public about what they want to see happen in their own communities.

Aims & Scope
Diabetic Medicine, the official journal of Diabetes UK, is published monthly in simultaneous print and online editions.
The journal publishes a range of key information on all aspects of diabetes mellitus and issues regularly include original articles, reviews, reports, editorials, comment, news and correspondence. All material is peer-reviewed. The journal seeks to provide a forum for the exchange of information between clinicians and researchers worldwide and all health professionals responsible for the care of patients with diabetes.
Surplus generated from the sale of Diabetic Medicine is used by Diabetes UK to care for, connect with and campaign on behalf of all people affected by and at risk of diabetes.
Diabetic Medicine invites the following types of submission:
Research articles
Original research articles relevant to diabetes mellitus science and practice are the journal's primary mode of communication. Clinical science and clinically-relevant basic science papers will be considered. Original articles must include a structured abstract (maximum 250 words), should not exceed 3,000 words of text and should be limited to 30 references (Vancouver style, see section 4). Inclusion of supplementary materials in the form of underlying datasets, multimedia files or accompanying slidesets is encouraged.
Qualitative research papers may consist of up to 4000 words and 30 references. Anything additional to that should be submitted as supporting information for online publication only.
Manuscripts should adhere to reporting standards. Randomised controlled trials should adhere to the CONSORT Checklist. Observational studies should adhere to the relevant STROBE Checklist. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses should adhere to the PRISMA Checklist. Checklists must be completed and submitted electronically with the manuscript using file designation 'Supporting Document NOT for Publication'.
For purposes of presentation only, accepted research articles are divided into the following sections:
Care Delivery
Educational and Psychological Aspects
Health Economics
The journal aims to publish concise, high-quality review articles of recent advances in laboratory or clinical research. Review articles are usually solicited by the Editor-in-Chief but unsolicited reviews are welcome. All will undergo peer-review. Review articles must include an unstructured abstract (maximum 250 words), should not exceed 5,000 words of text and should be limited to 50 references (Vancouver style, see section 4). Use of illustrations and figures is encouraged.
Trial protocols
Diabetic Medicine now welcomes submission of trial protocols. Manuscripts must include a structured abstract (maximum 250 words), should not exceed 3,000 words of text and should be limited to 30 references (Vancouver style, see section 4). Inclusion of supplementary materials in the form of underlying datasets, multimedia files or accompanying slidesets is encouraged. For trial protocols of health care interventions, the last section of the abstract should be Trial Registration: listing the trial registry and the unique identifying number, e.g. Trial Registration: Current Controlled Trials ISRCTN73824458. Please note there should be no space between the letters and numbers of the trial registration number. The trial registers that currently meet all of the ICMJE guidelines can be found at http://www.icmje.org/faq_clinical.html . Publishing your trial protocol in Diabetic Medicine does not commit you to submitting subsequent reports of the study to us, although we do, of course, welcome such submissions.
Short reports
Concise reports of original or important observations, short reports should not exceed 1,500 words and are limited to one figure, one table and 20 references (Vancouver style, see section 4). A structured abstract is required.
Case reports
Case reports submitted after 1 May 2012 will be published online-only in Diabetic Medicine. The abstracts of case reports will continue to be published in the relevant print issue. Case reports remain fully citable and will continue to be indexed by PubMed.
Case reports should describe unusual clinical cases and must carry a new or important message. Cases that present a diagnostic, ethical or management challenge, or that highlight aspects of mechanisms of injury, pharmacology or histopathology are deemed of particular educational value. Descriptions of a series of cases stand a greater chance of being accepted. The Editors reserve the right to ask authors to revise a single case report into a Letter to the Editor.
Case reports should not exceed 1,500 words and are limited to 3 tables and/or 3 figures and 20 references. A structured abstract (maximum 250 words) must be provided using the following sub-headings: Background, Case Report, Discussion. The submission of supplementary materials (additional figures, tables, datasets, multimedia files, etc.) which add value to cases is encouraged.
Items of correspondence may be in response to issues arising from recently published articles, or short, free-standing pieces expressing an opinion. Letters should be formatted in one continuous section and should not exceed 800 words, 1 figure/table and 10 references. No abstract is required. Please give the name(s) and affiliation(s) of authors at the end of the letter. All letters are subject to peer-review.
Editorials and commentaries provide expert opinion to hot topics. Whilst typically commissioned by the Editors, unsolicited submissions are welcome. Editorials and commentaries should not exceed 1,000 words and 10 references (Vancouver style, see section 4). No abstracts are required.

Reporting standards
Manuscripts should adhere to reporting standards. Randomised controlled trials should adhere to the CONSORT Checklist. Observational studies should adhere to the relevant STROBE Checklist. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses should adhere to the PRISMA Checklist. Checklists must be completed and submitted electronically with the manuscript using file designation 'Supporting Document NOT for Publication'.
Style guide
Diabetic Medicine does not recognise the term 'diabetic' as a noun. Preferred style is 'people (or person) with diabetes' or 'in the group without diabetes', rather than 'diabetic people (or person)', 'diabetic patient' or 'non-diabetic group'. The terms 'Type 1' and 'Type 2 diabetes mellitus' (abbreviated to Type 1 and Type 2 DM) are preferable to IDDM and NIDDM. 'Men' and 'women' should be used in preference to 'males' and 'females'. 'Participant(s)' or 'person'/'people is preferred to 'patient(s)' or 'subject(s)'.
If your paper does not adhere to this style it will be returned to you for changes before being considered for peer review.
Abbreviations & units
Except for units of measurement, abbreviations are strongly discouraged. Avoid abbreviations in the title of the manuscript and in the Abstract. The spelled-out abbreviation followed by the abbreviation in parentheses should be used on first mention unless the abbreviation is a standard unit of measurement.
SI units must be used throughout except for blood pressure (mmHg) and haemoglobin (g/l). Gas or pressure values should be given as mmHg with kPa in parentheses or vice versa. Where molecular weight is known, the amount of a substance should be expressed in mol or appropriate subunit (mmol). Energy should be expressed in kcal or joules (J). The solidus may be used in a unit as long as it does not have to be employed more than once (e.g. mmol/l is acceptable), but ml/min/kg is not acceptable and should be replaced with ml min-1 kg-1.
HbA1c Measurement
Diabetic Medicine has adopted dual reporting of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) measurement. HbA1c measurements must be reported in IFCC units (mmol/mol - no decimal point) in addition to derived NGSP units (% - one decimal). IFCC units should be listed first followed by NGSP units in parentheses. A HbA1c conversion table is available here. NGSP SD's can be converted directly to IFCC SD's. To do so the slope of the Master Equation to convert NGSP results to IFCC units must be used. For example: 0.3% SD NGSP = 0.3 X 10.93 = 3.3 mmol/mol SD IFCC (then round to the nearest integer).
Original publication
Submission of a manuscript will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere at the same time. The author must supply a full statement to the Editor about all submissions and previous reports that might be regarded as redundant or duplicate publication of the same or very similar work. Data that have been published as an abstract of no more than 300 words in a scientific meeting are acceptable; the abstract reference should be quoted under the abstract.
Conflicts of interest
Authors are responsible for disclosing all financial and personal relationships between themselves and others that might be perceived by others as biasing their work. To prevent ambiguity, authors must state explicitly whether potential conflicts do or do not exist.
When reporting experiments on human subjects, indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional or regional) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 1983. Do not use patients' names, initials or hospital numbers, especially in illustrative material. When reporting experiments on animals, indicate whether the institution's or a national research council's guide for, or any national law on, the care and use of laboratory animals was followed. A statement describing explicitly the ethical background to the studies being reported should be included in all manuscripts in the Materials and Methods section. Ethics committee or institutional review board approval should be stated.
Patients have a right to privacy that should not be infringed without informed consent. Identifying information should not be published in written descriptions, photographs and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Identifying details should be omitted if they are not essential but patient data should never be altered or falsified in an attempt to attain anonymity. Complete anonymity is difficult to achieve and informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt. For example, masking the eye region in photographs of patients is inadequate protection of anonymity.
All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship and all those who qualify should be listed. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content. One or more authors should take responsibility for the integrity of the work as a whole, from inception to published article. Authorship credit should be based only on 1) substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; 3) final approval of the version to be published. Conditions 1, 2 and 3 must all be met. Acquisition of funding, the collection of data or general supervision of the research group, by themselves, do not justify authorship. All others who contributed to the work who are not authors should be named in the Acknowledgements section.
Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)
As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), adherence to these submission criteria is considered essential for publication in Diabetic Medicine; mandatory fields are included in the online submission process to ensure this. If, at a later stage in the submission process or even after publication, a manuscript or authors are found to have disregarded these criteria, it is the duty of the Editor to report this to COPE. COPE may recommend that action be taken, including but not exclusive to, informing the authors' professional regulatory body and/or institution of such a dereliction.
The website for COPE may be accessed at: http://publicationethics.org/

Accepted Articles
Further to acceptance in Diabetic Medicine, manuscripts are immediately made publicly available online. 'Accepted Articles' have been peer-reviewed and accepted for formal publication, but have not been subject to copyediting, composition or proof correction. The service provides for the earliest possible dissemination of research data following article acceptance. Accepted Articles appear in PDF format only and are given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows them to be cited and tracked. The DOI remains unique to a given article in perpetuity and can continue to be used to cite and access the article further to print publication. More information about DOIs can be found online at http://www.doi.org/faq.html. Accepted Articles will be indexed in PubMed.
Neither Diabetes UK nor Wiley can be held responsible for errors or consequences arising from the use of information contained in Accepted Articles; nor do the views and opinions expressed necessarily reflect those of Diabetes UK or Wiley.
Early View
Research Articles (Research: Subcategory and Short Report: Subcategory) accepted by Diabetic Medicine are covered by Wiley-Blackwell Publishing's Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.
A PDF offprint of the online published article will be provided free of charge to the corresponding author via Author Services. Paper offprints of the printed published article may be ordered online. Please click on the following link, fill in the necessary details and ensure that you type information in all of the required fields: http://offprint.cosprinters.com. If you have queries about offprints please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

My son has hit the terrible twos. Today has been especially bad - throwing things, dumping water glasses, etc. Well, he came over and dump a full glass of water. Without thought, I reached out and bopped him on the head, like I do with our cat who does the same thing. I was instantly stunned by my own actions, horrified that I physically hit my kid (even if it didn't phase him a bit) and filled with shame. Especially when I grew up in a bad family environment.
My husband was next to us and right when I bopped my son, he grabbed my wrist to restrain me. I looked at him, horrified about what I did and saw the worst angry expression on his face - a look I've never gotten from him before. By now i'm crying and I pulled my wrist free and went to reach for my son. My husband grabbed my wrist again and said "don't", like he thought I was going to hit my son again.
This more than anything else upset me. I can work through the shame of being physical with my son. I can even accept, and understand, my husbands first time of restraining me. After all, it was an honest reaction from him.
But the second time horrified me - did he really think i'd hurt my kid? And since it all happened so fast, I know he was going with his gut instinct. I feel like I've lost all of my husband's trust in me and I've lost faith in him to have trust in me (if that makes any sense).
He tried to comfort me later, after I sobbed over my kid for 10 minutes. But he didn't even understand what was going on - even asked what happened.
I feel like our relationship just took a major blow and have no idea where to go from here.

Bandwidth is defined as a range within a band of frequencies or wavelengths. Bandwidth is also defined as the amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of time. For digital devices, the bandwidth is usually expressed in bits per second(bps) or bytes per second. For analog devices, the bandwidth is expressed in cycles per second, or Hertz (Hz).
The bandwidth is particularly important for I/O devices. For example, a fast disk drive can be hampered by a bus with a low bandwidth. This is the main reason that new buses, such as AGP, have been developed for the PC.

""Many years ago, our company founder, Al Conklin, sold a new twin-engine business aircraft to a very successful entrepreneur. He had established a bit of a rapport with the individual and, after the sale, asked him straight out, 'How can you justify the cost of this airplane?' His reply? 'What is the cost of a divorce?'"–David Wyndham, president, Conklin & de Decker"
Founders Keepers
Set in the middle of Zurich, Switzerland, the bucolic Baur au Lac Hotel dates from 1844 and is still run by the family that founded it. It offers an oasis of pastoral calm in an otherwise hopping city.
The Pavillon, the property's lovely semicircular restaurant, overlooks a massive lawn and Lake Zurich. Located near the busy Bahnhofstrasse, Paradeplatz Park and the city's financial district, it attracts royalty, heads of state, sheiks and film and soccer stars.
The menu, which is accompanied by an impressive wine list, offers elegant, contemporary dishes, such as an unusual persil simple et pomme verte—parsley cream soup with Sauvignon Blanc and green apple. Another standout is côte de veau, a Swiss classic, which is expertly pan-fried veal cutlet drizzled by tarragon gravy over polenta with just a hint of mustard. Also try the fillet of wild turbot en papillote (turbot baked in parchment) with green asparagus velouté, which the chef pairs with green asparagus purée and nutmeg-filled ziti. So green, so delicious.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — On an almost perfect Monday night for Alex Smith, the San Francisco 49ers flexed their NFC West dominance with a 24-3 flattening of the Arizona Cardinals.
Smith completed 18 of 19 passes for 232 yards and three touchdowns — two to Michael Crabtree and one to Randy Moss — to help San Francisco (6-2) open a two-game lead in the division and send Arizona (4-4) to its fourth consecutive loss.
Smith's only incompletion was dropped by a wide-open Delanie Walker in the first half.
"Eighteen of 19, I have never seen that," San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh said. "How important for your quarterback to play very well? It is very important and I don't know how you play much better. It was a fantastic game by him."

Arizona defensive tackle Darnell Dockett could hardly believe what Smith had done.
"Everyone's surprised. My 5-year-old son's surprised," Dockett said. "But at the end of the day it wasn't like he had to make the long perfect throws. He had some guys open and we missed some tackles and they made plays."
Smith was 14 of 15 for 146 yards and two touchdowns, both to Crabtree, as the 49ers built a 17-0 halftime lead.
Moss caught a 47-yard TD pass, dodging tacklers down the sideline on a play that seemed to turn back the clock to the receiver's prime. He tied Terrell Owens for fourth on the NFL career touchdown list with 156.
Smith, who tied a career high with the three touchdown passes, spread out his completions to 10 receivers.

Oops! She Crashed It Again.
Why celebrities are such bad drivers.
For a time, the staples of "just like us" photography were celebrities such as Nicole Richie or Lindsay Lohan, with handlers in tow, emerging from "traffic school"—that Californian institution where drivers are sent to do perfunctory penance. (Studies have suggested they do little to improve traffic safety.) "The 'Mean Girls' actress looked extra-girlie in a purple hoodie with pink shorts and black leggings," one Web site observed of Lohan as she emerged from traffic school before assuring us, "but later she got to kick back and enjoy her celebrity lifestyle at the grand re-opening of the flagship Fendi Boutique on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California."
That sentence embodies the writhingly conflicted feelings we have toward celebrity. On the one hand, they are ultimately unknowable and out of reach to the average person, and so we seem to revel in the moments that, paradoxically, show them stripped of the mechanisms of fantasy that go into building this sense of exaltation. The U.K. reality show Britain's Worst Celebrity Driver plays on this feeling: dressing down celebrities who are still, at the end of the day, celebrities. (Britain's Worst Everyday Punter Driver doesn't quite have the same pizazz.) Perhaps contempt helps breed familiarity. Writing of the "Just Like Us" photographs, Virginia Heffernan aptly observed: "At first I thought, who cares? But then the magazines taught me to care, and mistake the new unkempt images for intimacy, if intimacy is something I might achieve by rooming with a celebrity at a mental hospital."
We also need to know, though, that celebrities can get away with things precisely because of their stardom; a counternarrative to the harsh blog judgment of celebrity drivers (type speeding tickets or DUI into TMZ.com) is the story of celebrities escaping a ticket with a smile and an autograph. In "celebrity driving," there is a poignancy in law-enforcement encounters because traffic is often the only place where most people actively experience the law in their lives. Who wouldn't want to have the moment, say, that Patrick Dempsey had, when pulled over for speeding: "The cop was really cool. He said, 'At least you're driving the Porsche properly.' He said 'Oh, I know you!' and I got out of it." Or how about William Shatner: "Most of them like to have a chat about when I was on Star Trek. Then they say, 'OK, Bill, not so fast next time.' " (Visions of "Warp speed, Scotty" jokes by troopers in mirror-tinted shades).
In this light, what is most revealing about the celebrity-driving episodes is what they show about our feelings toward those celebrities—and about driving. Writing in the Weekly Standard, Louis Wittig perceptively noted of celebrity DUIs, "the crime itself, which is more or less the equivalent of attempted criminally negligent homicide, takes a backseat to the hairdo. When Nicole Richie was popped—driving the wrong way down a six-lane highway, high on Vicodin, with her headlights off in the middle the night—the gossip blogs were, understandably, agog. But not for the reason you think. It was because the police report revealed that the scary-skinny Richie weighed just 85 pounds." When Mel Gibson was pulled over for DUI, it was his drunken slurs—not his driving—that attracted the most notice.
The lighthearted treatment of these episodes betrays the ways in which bad behavior in cars is still often viewed as a "folk crime"—something not entirely out of the bounds of normal behavior, something less than "real crime." Consider the case of DMX, one of a number of rappers known to be a menace on the road. (Note that traffic violations provide an easy way for gangsta rappers to burnish their non-law-abiding reputations without actually having to do hard jail time.) It is shocking that this repeat offender, arrested not only for DUI but for impersonating a federal agent while trying to avoid paying $9 worth of parking fees at JFK Airport, is still behind the wheel. His attorney hinted at our cultural laxity toward traffic laws when he declared, after his client was pulled over for going 104 in a 65-mph zone, "This is not a major concern and we are dealing with it appropriately. Basically, it's only a traffic violation."
Unless it crosses the thin line into a felony. That's the fate that befell the then-17-year-old Nick Bollea (a professional "drift" racer and the son of Hulk Hogan), who was jailed for "reckless driving involving serious bodily injury" (a third-degree felony) in a severe 2007 crash that left his passenger with permanent injuries. As the celebrity site TMZ noted, "[T]aking into account the last twelve months, anyone could have seen Nick Hogan's high speed car crash coming—from a mile away!" as Bollea's record was littered with at least four violations for excessive speed (and given a warning on at least one other occasion, according to one source, but not ticketed because of his half-celebrity status). There is a real question as to why he was still legally allowed to drive, given the violations and the risk profile for teen drivers, who die on the road at a rate higher than anyone. (In the United Kingdom, newly proposed legislation will see novice drivers lose their license after one speeding infraction.) But Bollea's case, viewed by some as just another celebrity driver behaving badly, reveals the big societal shrug we give to acting illegally behind the wheel. Celebrities drive just like us—they just get better publicity.

An echocardiogram (echo) is a test used to assess the heart's function and structures. A stress echocardiogram is a test done to assess how well the heart works under stress. The "stress" can be triggered by either exercise on a treadmill or medication called dobutamine.
A dobutamine stress echocardiogram (DSE) may be used if you are unable to exercise. Dobutamine is put in a vein and causes the heart to beat faster. It mimics the effects of exercise on the heart.
During an echo, a transducer (like a microphone) sends out ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency too high to be heard. When the transducer is placed on the chest at certain locations and angles, the ultrasonic sound waves move through the skin and other body tissues to the heart tissues, where the waves bounce or "echo" off of the heart structures. The transducer picks up the reflected waves and sends them to a computer. The computer displays the echoes as images of the heart walls and valves.
A DSE may involve one or more of these special types of echocardiograms:
Possible reasons for getting a dobutamine stress echocardiogram (DSE) may include:
There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend a DSE.
Possible risks associated with a dobutamine stress echocardiogram (DSE) include:
There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor prior to the procedure.
Certain factors or conditions may interfere with a DSE such as:
A dobutamine stress echocardiogram (DSE) may be done on an outpatient basis or as part of your hospital stay. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your doctor's practices.

Community Spotlight: The Future of MMOGs
This week's Community Spotlight focuses on the thought-provoking thread, "MMORPG's of the Future. 2030," by user ImmortalBird. In the thread, ImmortalBird wonders what MMOG's will be like in the future, specifically, as far out as 2030:
"What kind of major changes do you think we will see?
I think gaming will become even more popular and thus more players for MMORPG's as the years go by and people get wealthier and wealthier and end up having more leisure time with nothing to do.
I think there will be new concepts for how an MMORPG is designed and how it's gameplay is handled, something quite drastically different than the basis of Everquest and games like World of Warcrafts gameplay. Also the action-element based MMORPG's of recent will take some unusual changes too I think.
Me personally, I'll keep a little bit of an eye out on how things are going, but I won't try out any games unless something just miraculousy captures me like how I felt about games when I was a young boy. Which are slim chances heh."
ImmortalBird's topic sparked some interesting responses, with generally something for everyone. The thread is replete with conspiracy theories involving the end of the world in 2012 (thus making MMOG's in 2030 impossible, duh!), plain ol' funny responses, and of course a few somewhat serious ones.
Let's start with a conspiracy theory by Lansid. We won't have any MMOG's in 2030, we'll all be dead come December 21st, 2012:
"Trick question.There will be no MMORPG's in 2030. Dec. 21st, 2012 we will all be dead.
However in the unlikely event that we all live... I highly doubt the term MMORPG will be used 20 years from now, either by political correctness of evolution of the genre.
10 years ago, the majority of MMO pioneer people were playing Everquest, Asheron's Call, Ultima Online, or Meridian 59... on their 56k modems, PII cores, 256 Megs of ram and 16 Meg vid cards.
10 years ago, the first Silent HIll on the Playstation came out, Nsync, Backstreet Boys, Ricky Martin and Britney Spears ruled the airwaves... The Force was revealed as a parasitic infection in The Phantom Menace, the term "Bullet-Time" was coined from the Matrix, and there was a movie about a witch with three kids running around in the forest and a chicks runny nose that went on to be the most successful indie movie to date.
That's just TEN years ago... and you're projecting TWENTY?
What exists now will be a laughable shadow of what "once was" idealism followed by teens saying "Oh my god, why the hell did you SIT at your computer for hours, days, weeks, years... on end? Talk about archaic!"
Mark my words and archive them."
In all seriousness, Lansid does still make a good point. If we do manage to survive 2012, we'll be mocked by the youngins come 2030 for ever sitting in our computer chairs and playing these games the way we do, perhaps implying that virtual reality or a holodeck style MMOG would be possible by then.
How about another conspiracy theory? This time let's go with the tried and true monolithic Microsoft concept. NinjaNerf explains how Microsoft will rule the MMOG world:
"Before 2030 Microsoft will buy up the majority of the social networks (facebook, twitter and such) and develop them into a giant social mmo network similiar to Second Life but only 100x bigger.
Indie mmorpg developers will be bought into the Microsoft Online Social Network. These will include a list of popular indie games (e.g runescape) and some defunct games by then (e.g. WAR and AoC), and of course Microsoft will also buy Club Penguins from Disney for an outregeous price to promote their kiddy products.
By 2030, we will have major breakthrough in space technologies or may even discover lifeforms from outerspace. So a lot of mmorpg will be sci-fi instead of fantasy.
Since microsoft will turn mmorpg into a social/marketing tool, in game visual advertisement system will be in desire so dying mmo such as Anarchy may still squeeze out a few bucks from microsoft.
We will also see gambling and porn mmorpg.
And of course, Bill Gates will be the president of the United States."
There are some positives to NinjaNerf's future. For example, since we'll apparently discover lifeforms from outer space, most people will tire of fantasy MMOG's, and we'll mostly see sci-fi one's instead. Here's hoping!
Disownation is ahead of all of us. He knows what the future is, because, well, he's developing it:
"In 2030, the term MMO will be a thing of the past.
It will be replaced by VRSRPG (Virtual Reality Simulation Role Playing Game). I know this, because I am developing it."
Vaske1984 offers a brief description of MMOG's in the future:
"1.Sit in the chair.
2.Plug-in device in your brain (matrix thing)
3.And your online :D"
I'm surprised we got more conspiracy theories and humorous responses than a huge discussion debating the possibility of The Matrix like virtual reality.
I obviously don't know what the future holds, but having seen the movie the 13th Floor, I would hope that some day that is essentially what we end up with. For those of you who haven't seen the movie, it is similar to The Matrix, but it fits this discussion better than the Matrix would, as the worlds are created entirely for the purposes of entertainment. Users can, like the Matrix jack into these worlds and assume an identity, with all the worlds living beings essentially being programs or AI.
I won't spoil the movie for any of you out there looking to check it out, but there is a pretty mind bending twist in there, and I highly recommend it!
With that said, what do you think the far away future holds for MMOGs? Do you believe in a more practical future where the games evolve from where we are currently at? Or do you subscribe to the theory that things will be radically different, and virtual reality, a'la the Matrix, is a very real possibility?
Let us know in the comments below!
All I can think of on this topic is the Popular Mechanics and Popular Science magazines of the 50's and 60's. According to them we would have nuclear reactors in our basements, robotic butlers, vacations to the Moon and yes Ittexxan... flying nuclear powered cars... all by the 1990's. Very little of what was in those magazines ever came to pass in the ways they described them.
I look at people talking about the future with a grain of salt now as I know what people 'think' will happen seldom ever does. I'm sure the future holds wonders we can't even fathom at this point but what those wonders are we'll just have to wait to find out.
BrenThu Feb 04 2010 5:17PM Report
You bring up a good and a bad point Brenelael. The reason we aren't near as advanced as the past predicted us to be is because of the dangers that were involved with the beginnings of nuclear science. If any government could overlook a small nuclear disaster and think about the bigger picture then we would have self sustaining power systems and much more I am sure, but governments aren't willing to risk their "disapproval" in case a disaster did happen from something they sanctioned. Therefore, even if the technology is promising they won't pursue it.
The best example of this besides nuclear power is the LHC. Thankfully the swiss and french governments are allowing these experiments to happen and who knows what kind of technology will come from it. Could it destroy the entire world? Maybe. Did they think that nuclear power would destroy the world also? Yes. Did it? No.
Dynamite was discovered and refined after the inventors brother died in an explosion caused by their research, yet look at the technologies and future it has created for us. Sure it is a destructive force, but it also allowed us to mine tons of material instead of chipping away by hand.
The thing is, who is to say whether something is good or bad for our future? The government? I say let people research as long as they aren't harming anyone/thing in the process of researching. If something unpredictable happens to come from the research, like an explosion, then be more cautious, but don't cut the research. If the world is destroyed by someone's research so what? It's not like just you are dying, EVERYONE died, does it matter after that?Thu Feb 04 2010 6:41PM Report
The Matrix is a stepping stone away whether it be literally like that or a 'holodeck reality'.
I heard on the grapevine years ago that some *looks over his shoulder* places are already experimenting with holodeck concepts.
I think the real shift will be when a new type of energy is invented that propels computer technology forward at an even more alarming rate than it is now. An energy that can power computers and houses and cities with very little effort.
I'm a hopeless optimistic...Thu Feb 04 2010 7:12PM Report
I'm pretty sure we're about to see a big boom in the porn industry - it's already starting, innocently enough with "relationship" building mmos and chat rooms.
Soon we'll have sexy avatars, with other people's sexy avatars.
Then imagine the virtual prostitution when VR becomes possible?Thu Feb 04 2010 7:38PM Report
Whew!! I dunno what the future will bring but I suspect it will surprise all of us.
Especialy the silly NinjaNerf who thinks Microsoft will rule all. ROFL, sory...not. Only 35 years ago microsoft came into existance and was given a huge leg-up by IBM ( a comuter king at the time. They gave Bill funding and purchased DOS (who Bill got from a friend for ( i think ) $750) . Originaly the Dirty Operating System.
IBM isn't what it was and I doubt Microsoft will maintain thier dominance. Its near impossible to find generations of great leader/visionaries.
I I like Morv's comment: I think the real shift will be when a new type of energy is invented that propels computer technology forward at an even more alarming rate than it is now. An energy that can power computers and houses and cities with very little effort
I believe that we will come up with new ways to produce and use energy. It is needed and someone will answer that need.
We always base the future on something we know now...though Holodecks sound like a hoot!!!
Did you know that multiple CPUs were linked ( up to 16) as early as the late 1980s by IBM. They also has the ability to put 1GB on a 'single platter' but were certain no one would ever risk that much data on a single drive.
Who knewThu Feb 04 2010 7:47PM Report
Wait Blazz... you never played an asian MMOG or Second Life? :P Not to mention "H" games exist in Japan, though I don't remember hearing of any online one.
My bet is on the "dangers" to current reality brought be a RCE (Real Cash Economy) environment adapted to absorb people from any society segment. Danger is a relative word here, because you can get someone who is unemployed and let him generate something to "live". We have already seen the addictive powers of a MMOG, both from people spending too much time or people spending too little time, along with a failed birth control.
Of course this is only viable if the current governments don't change and decay in another extremist period (*cough* World Wars *cough*), and a lot of other variables such as government actually going AGAINST MMOGs (alienating factor), the world ending in 2012, aliens invading and slaving us to play their MMOGs (or the machines ;)), etc.Thu Feb 04 2010 8:32PM Report
Putting aside the wishful thinking of Matrixstyle complete immersion games ... I think the one thing where future MMORPGs will trump the current generation is in depth and complexity. With increased storage, computing and broadbandth capabilities, future MMORPGs will have the luxury of developing more complex economical and political systems, and thus shifting the game away from combat towards more RL environments.Thu Feb 04 2010 9:14PM Report

There's already a porn MMO. I can't remember what's its called but when I bought DAZ from a third party, advertisements for it were all over that website. The trailer playing in the side bar made it look like the sims or second life with a lot of sex.Fri Feb 05 2010 3:50AM Report
hogscraper, I believe it was called Red Light World. Fell into that lump of online crap when it beta'ed but it did tap into the new current growing model for MMOs, free to play then buy the "extras".
20 years our whole mindest of how MMOs will be different. No doubt the scifi scene will finally emerge with an aweome game that attracts the masses like WoW does today. The play system over the years has always evolved so to see it even remain close to what it is today is rather moot. In that time we will definately see WoW fall from the shelf, Microsoft will probably collapse due to another errant OS "upgrade", VR will be closer but I don't think it will happen for quite a bit longer. One of the elements in all of this cash. Who will still be standing twenty years from now after more economic blunders in our great nation? Businesses are there for cash, that's it. That optimism makes me think in later years we'll see some of these gaming giants to merge to stay alive. Can you see SoE/Blizzard? *shiver* A lot can happen in twenty years, so I say just enjoy the ride and play the snot outta every game out there.
2030? Somewhere between Neuromancer and Halted State. A world where virtual items have real values and can be stored in a bank. Memories can be recorded and drugs will be in the form of microchips.
Unfortunately, the government will now be able to see into your thoughts and track them. Enter a high-tech Orwellian 1984.
Scary, isn't it?Fri Feb 05 2010 9:43AM Report
Just watched the pilot for "Caprica". The VR world in that kinda had me thinking about this topic. Sure the sex and debotcher might have an appeal but signing up for a VR Star Wars experiance would be beyond my dreams... probably way after 2030 though. I figure I will be gone by then.
The new energy mentioned above will probably be the tapping into the brain for VR.Sat Feb 06 2010 1:53PM Report
How about games that utilise real world devices to such an extent that by playing your favourite fantasy hack n slash mmo you can develop an incredible physique that would make you almost as deadly in real ife as in the fantasy on?
Ok though the pace of progress will hit a wall, the economics will be the "braking factor" where technology will become slowed by the fact it becomes beyond affordable, computing technology can progress faster than the mass manufacturing techniques required to build it, unless we get into real far flung tech such as nanotechnological "builders" wherevy you just pay for a blueprint license & your at home nanobots build it for you. Imagine the black market possibilities there...real scary.Sat Feb 06 2010 4:52PM Report
This one is easy, it'll start off with military technology and then slowly shift to commercial just like it does now. For instance, Right now the tech is just using the predator drone and those drones are not only being made into planes but also into walking soldiers or mechs capable of doing even the bare minimum of things like a loader for ammunition while remotely protecting the user from any danger. Advance that to now remotely controlling or logging into (like your surrogate) and that mech is now an extension of your thoughts and you are linked (similar to the apache targeting helmet) to this machine and you go fight far off wars against china with it without putting your own troops in jeopardy.
Now that's in the next 10, take that to the next step and start with that technology moving to the commercial environment and not only do we have these surrogates doing our daily work for us while we are remotely logged in from home and connected to it via these brain links but we now have the option of better looking avatars not just bot looking ones, ones that look like people. and we can extend this into virtual environments by extending it to social networks where you're avatar is created virtually in a world and you log in just the same as you would to day in this neural net.
Now not only do you have both virtual and real world enviroments but you can game in them too...run surrogoate warriors around in some advanced game design like a destroyed city and fight against other players in the ultimate FPS and the npc robots are now your enemies to take out while you and you're guild mates go head to head with futuristic weaponry ....or virtualize it login from your couch using your control glove and your neural network interface v2.0 into this simulated fantasy world where you litterally ride upon the back of a dragon...destroy goblin races and discover vast treasures....Tue Feb 09 2010 2:36PM Report
MMORPG? Dont you mean job? Entropia Universe and Ebay before it already has proven this is the way things are moving. When your MMO starts paying you to play it people will start finding ways to increase the size of those paychecks. Governments will discover how to track and tax those sums as they arrive into bank accounts. Once this happens MMORPG's cease to become games and start becoming reality. Then we need to find something else to entertain us.Tue Feb 09 2010 4:01PM Report
