The objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between serum nicotine levels and tumor response of squamous cell cancers of the head and neck (SCCHN) to radiotherapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy.
Correlation of RECIST response, volumatic response, pathologic response (in patients receiving post-treatment neck dissection), and hemodynamic response (tumor oxygenation and blood flow) will be performed.
The exposure to tobacco related carcinogens is highly dependent upon dose as well as interindividual characteristics of metabolism. Risk assessment of carcinogenic profiles for nicotine and its individual metabolites is complicated by interindividual variations in nicotine metabolism associated with quantitative nicotine exposure, gender, genetic polymorphisms, and behavioral and environmentally induced differences in nicotine metabolizing enzyme activities. Consequently, differences in smoking behavior or tobacco use have been correlated to differences in nicotine metabolism resulting in cessation strategies based upon tobacco use, nicotine dependence, and behavioral modification. Cotinine has been shown to be a reliable marker of nicotine exposure and more reflective of recent rather than acute nicotine use with better assessment of baseline nicotine levels. Therefore, subjects will have blood samples drawn weekly during radiation for cotinine analysis.
Radiation therapy efficacy is known to be dependent on tissue oxygen status. Since therapeutic treatment is less efficacious in patients with poorly vascularized/ hypoxic tumors, it is desirable to identify and target such patients for special treatment. Recent magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography investigations have shown that there are significant blood flow changes during radiation or chemo-radiation therapy, suggesting that early blood flow may have prognostic value. Among those methods for oxygen and blood flow measurements, the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is more benefit with merit of non-invasive, portable, fast test, and inexpensive. Our instrument system combined near-infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is capable of monitoring tissue oxygen and blood flow simultaneously. This hybrid diffuse optical instrument has already been used for monitoring of therapeutic effects (e.g., radiation therapy, chemotherapy) in tumors in human head & neck and breast. In this study, we will use this hybrid instrument to investigate the hemodynamic responses to different therapies (radiation alone, radiation + chemotherapy) in patients with different nicotine levels. Baseline measurement of tissue oxygen saturation, total hemoglobin concentration and blood flow using a hybrid optical instrument (DRS for oxygen measurement and DCS for blood flow measurement). A hand-hold optical probe connected to the hybrid instrument will be placed on the head/neck tumor for about 3-5 minutes, then move it on the normal arm muscle for control purposeTumor oxygenation and flow measurements will be performed at the beginning of every week during the treatment period. During this monitoring process non-invasive blood pressure monitoring will also occur. Weekly optical measurements will be obtained during treatment.In this study we will investigate the hemodynamic responses to different nicotine levels and different therapies (radiation alone, radiation + chemotherapy).

DVD: The Venture Brothers, Season 3
Release date: March 24
Cost: $24 on the [adult swim] site, but I've seen it for $17.99 and cheaper online.
I've been getting really impatient for the fourth season of [adult swim]'s best show, The Venture Brothers, to come out. Unfortunately, that's not happening until at least October, so in the interim, I've been rewatching all of the previous seasons for-- here I go, embarrassing myself publicly again-- at least the fourth or fifth time. Yes, I have a problem. A problem that was only exacerbated by receiving The Venture Brothers: Season 3, in the mail. Which is a show that, even though I've watched every episode about twenty times apiece by now, couldn't possibly be improved upon. When it comes to detailing the trials and tribulations of costumed villains and their harassed, pill-popping, unscrupulous nemeses, Jackson Publick pretty much hit the nail on the head. It's sort of like a cartoon superhero Behind The Music.Actually, the only thing that this show does need is some more fans. Whenever I try to talk to someone about how awesome it is, I almost always get a blank stare in return. It's sort of like when I dressed up as Birdgirl last Halloween, along with my boyfriend, who was Harvey Birdman. You know, from that old [adult swim] show, for which Stephen Colbert did one of the voices? Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law? No? Doesn't ring a bell? I'm not surprised. Two Halloweens later, not a single solitary person has ever been able to identify who we were, or had heard of the show, which in my mind is a serious contender (along with Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Sealab) for best [adult swim] show of all time. This could be because The Venture Brothers, unlike most cartoons, requires you to watch the show from the beginning to catch all of the jokes. This could be because teenagers watch [adult swim] more than, you know "real" adults do. Or it could be because I'm hanging out with a bunch of Philistines. I mean, come on: what are you going to do with your next rainy day? Watch Grey's Anatomy DVDs? Ick.

Tripler AMC command group steps up to the plate -- literally
December 1, 2011
By Jan Clark, Tripler Army Medical Center Public Affairs
TRIPLER ARMY MEDICAL CENTER, Hawaii -- In the true spirit of the day, the command team, Tripler Army Medical Center, visited inpatients bearing gifts and later served staff and patients Thanksgiving dinner in the Anuenue Café, Nov. 24.
"It was an uplifting experience for me as I accompanied the commander and Mrs. Gallagher as they went from room to room talking to our patients," said Staff Sgt. Robert King, food service non-commissioned officer.
The visit to the wards was especially poignant when Brig. Gen. Keith Gallagher, commander, Pacific Regional Medical Command and TAMC, and wife Sandra, visited the Intensive Care Unit.
Flown in from Guam following hospitalization there, sixty-one year old Anthony Santos, underwent quadruple heart surgery just the day before. Already sitting up and feeling pretty chipper, the retired (30-year) Marine and former firefighter hadn't had any heart problems until recently, when he was told he needed surgery now.
"The doctors are pretty great over here, that's what got me up and Adam. Everything went very well. I'm feeling good -- I should only be here a couple of more days then I can go home," said Santos.
Following visits to every ward within the hospital, the team gathered in the Anuenue Café where they donned an apron and chef's hat and took their places in unfamiliar territory -- behind the serving line.
"I really enjoyed the role reversal. It was great for staff morale because they got to be served and it was obvious that our command team enjoyed the opportunity to serve," King said.
An addition to the team was Lourdes Acosta, daughter of Navy Capt. Jose Acosta, deputy commander for clinical services. A freshman at Sacred Hearts Academy, Lourdes accompanied her father as a means of fulfilling a community service school requirement, but came away with more than that.
"I think that it was really great to help spread the joy to the people by serving them food," she said.

Thanks Zach. And yes, most people don't know the true power of being a breeder. And now that i stumbled upon a god among pokemon, i will never reveal my secrets for how i got him. All i know is that all i really need is one more Spiritomb to learn moves to take out the last 3 types and i will be set forever. I may even be willing to trade he extras later on. But for now, the power stays with me. Who knows, if you work at breeding, you could create a god as well.

Many of Red Balloon's entrees reserve plate estate for ripe and green plantains, which charm diners with their sweet flavor, smooth texture, and the comedic timing of their peels. Bites of beef and pork seared on the grill teem with smoky, charbroiled flavors, as forks plunge into adjacent mounds of rice and beans. After meals, tamarindo, chia con limón, and other fresh juices cleanse palates and embolden bodies for vine swinging all the way home. The Red Balloon's simple, scarlet awning mirrors its no-frills, food-centric focus.

New feature: anime 'cover' images
Here at Anime-Planet we've always tried to focus on only putting up high quality, unique information, such as hand-written synopses and personally-taken screenshots for every series - this is one thing that helps distinguish AP from other sites.
But we also know that it's hard to use the site as a primary resource if entries are blank, so we're working on a few projects to fix that.
Starting today, all blank anime, when possible, will have a 'cover' image - such as a promotional movie poster, an official DVD cover, etc. You can click the cover just like a main image if screenshots are up, to see a bigger-sized version. HERE'S AN EXAMPLE. Covers go away once screenshots are added. While it seems like a small feature, this ended up being a fairly time-consuming feature to add and test.
A team of volunteers and myself added these images over the last few days - there were certain anime that didn't have an acceptable cover image, such as DVD specials (promo shots aren't released for the specials themselves), music videos, certain older/obscure titles, etc. But most do now have covers.
If you'd like to look at the list of anime without cover images, go to the browse anime page, click 'advanced', and then click the new 'needs cover' button on the right. You can still use the 'no images' button instead to see which anime don't have screenshots.
While putting up cover images breaks our 'only put up high quality/personally done info' rule, the goal is still that eventually we'd have screenshots up for each of these. Hopefully this is a good, temporary step to make sure that you can tell what an anime will be like while using AP.
There are parallel efforts going on to get more people trained on submitting screenshots, and even an effort regarding synopses, so stay tuned for those. In the meantime I personally will try to focus on adding full entries for series without covers (as ideally all titles will have EITHER screenshots OR a cover image) and hopefully the screenshot trainees can too!
I'd like to thank the following volunteers for dropping everything to help shape the guidelines and add images in only a few days' time:
Hope you enjoy the feature, and as always, if you enjoy it or the site, please consider making a donation - all donations go straight into site hosting costs and new features.

A fantastic rumor about who might be directing the upcoming "Harry Potter" spinoff has turned out to be fantastically false.
Late last week, Oscar-winning "Gravity" filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron was linked to direct "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," the upcoming film written by J.K. Rowling based on her 2001 charity novel of the same name. It wouldn't be Cuaron's first time in the Wizarding World, as he helmed 2004's "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," widely considered one of the best films in the series.
But Cuaron will not be directing "Fantastic Beasts" after all. In an interview with Spanish news agency EFE (translated by Digital Spy), the director said, "I have a lot of love for that universe and I tremendously admire JK Rowling, but today, for the present, projects based around lots of visual effects don't attract me. I'm coming out of a five-year process of doing visual effects and now I sort of want to clean my palate of that a little bit."
It's disappointing news for fans who hoped the next "Harry Potter"-inspired film would have some of Cuaron's signature magic, but it's encouraging to hear that a filmmaker as talented as Cuaron wants to stretch new muscles.
Still, it leaves the question wide open: Who will direct "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"? Warner Bros. will have to answer that question, as well as questions of casting, in the near future, as the film is set for release on November 18, 2016.
Who do you think should direct "Fantastic Beasts"?

Ahhhh... the sun is out and there's brand new vinyl on record store shelves. That's what I called a perfect Tuesday in the summertime. If you're a fan of vinyl, it's a perfect day to go hunt for gems new and old.
There are a bunch of cool new releases out today, especially local ones like Modest Mouses' No One's First and You're Next and the Cave Singers' Welcome Joy. And as you should already know, the Cave Singers are playing an in-store at Easy Street Records in Queen Anne tonight at 7 p.m. After the jump, vinyl columnist Jason Ferguson, gives readers plenty of info on all of the new vinyl and reissue packages that are in stores as of today.So, are you as tired of hearing about the 40th anniversary of Woodstock as I am? No? Well, dig your brown-acid-stained fingers into Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music, a five (yes, five!) LP collection of (most, but not all of) the dirty-ass weekend's music; the deluxe box set - issued on Rhino/Warner Bros - also comes with a book. It's out this week.
Topping the list of excellent new releases out on wax this week is the debut album from hotly touted Florida indie-psych duo Blind Man's Colour; Season Dreaming is filled with dreamy space-pop along the lines of Animal Collective and Deerhunter, and is so good that even Kanye West had to acknowledge the group's awesomeness.
The new one from Pissed Jeans - King of Jeans - is also out on wax today from Sub Pop.
On the reissue front, fans of bombastic alt-rock should be stoked to pick up the Muse catalog. Origin of Symmetry, Showbiz, Black Holes and Revelations, and Absolution are all being reissued today by Warner Bros. as 180g, double-LP sets.
A little less hi-fi, but perhaps tons more essential is a monstrous four-LP box set on the Monk label that collects nearly everything ever recorded by Charley Patton. You're Gonna Need Someone When You Die isn't cheap, but this Delta Blues material has never sounded better.

What are your hobbies? How do you occupy your time to plan for the future?
Currently I'm a marketing associate at one of the Big 4 consulting firms. In my free time, I enjoy practicing yoga and dance (obviously!), indoor rock-climbing and taking hikes – anything that keeps me active in my non-working hours!
Have you ever worked for a charity? Who/what would you like to volunteer for?
Yes! I've organized several seminars and fundraisers on campus to raise awareness about breast cancer with my sorority in conjunction with the Susan G. Komen Foundation. In college I also danced annually at the Washington Square Children's Halloween Parade, Toys for Tots and participated in Relay for Life. I would love the chance to one day work with Habitat for Humanity!
What is it about New Jersey that you love?
The Devils!
I'm proud to be a Devil's Dancer because…
All my teammates and our coach are as talented as they are beautiful – which pushes me to be the best dancer I can be. Also, the Devils are blessed with such loyal fans who make our jobs that much more exciting!
Three fun facts about yourself:
1. I have a second degree black belt in taekwondo.
2. I am the proud puppy mama of a Shiba Inu named Kobe.
2. I was Co-Captain of the nationally ranked NYU Dance Team with Devils Dancer AJ, who is also my best friend!
What was the greatest moment of your life thus far aside from becoming a Devils Dancer?
Graduating from New York University's Stern School of Business with a double major in Marketing and International Business (and a minor)!

By Michael George, CEO, Continuum
For many of us, Independence Day triggers visions of fireworks, baseball games and barbeques. But for military veterans transitioning to civilian life, "independence" has been more of a euphemism for unemployment recently. While the numbers are improving, roughly 7.3 percent of Gulf War-era II veterans remain jobless, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
To help combat this discouraging situation, some channel companies have implemented veteran re-employment programs specifically for the IT industry. From training and education to financial assistance, technology leaders including Cisco Systems, Continuum, CompTIA, Ingram Micro, Microsoft and others, are enabling veterans to apply the skills learned during their service at high-paying civilian positions.
When you consider that our military personnel have access to some of the most advanced technology on the planet, it makes perfect sense that they would also be some of the most qualified professionals leading technology companies should employ. This is one of the many key reasons why Continuum makes every effort to support our nation's heroes as they transition to civilian technology careers.
Initiatives like the Continuum Veterans Foundation fund training, certification, and job placement activities of former military personnel. Our executive team introduced the program last year by parachuting from a plane. You can check out the video here.
Over the next 12 months, the company plans to distribute more than $100,000 in financial support to non-profit organizations focused on helping veterans find employment – starting at home. Since the program's inception last year, Continuum has hired eight veterans into its existing Pittsburgh Service Desk operation, more than 20 percent of which is staffed by our nation's veterans. The company actively recruits former military personnel because it believes their training, motivation and commitment to serving others helps distinguish it as an industry leader.
"It's completely evident from the moment you meet the Continuum management team that they value the contributions veterans have to offer private corporations," said Matt Tardivo, Continuum Service Desk engineer, and former U.S. Army private, microwave communications. "From the first day I walked in the door, Michael and the other executives were quick to ask questions on ways to improve partner service levels, and other opportunities to leverage our experiences."
CompTIA's Troops to Techs Careers, help ensure that returning veterans and their spouses can pursue IT careers by receiving the education, certifications and job placement resources that support their goals. Since early 2012, CompTIA claims more than 8,000 veterans have taken advantage of the service.
It's part of a larger strategy to support both the Department of Defense and the Armed Forces through the association's Creating IT Futures program. CompTIA has also committed to training and certifying roughly 35,000 veterans and military spouses by the end of this year, and 92,000 by 2016.
From a federal perspective, First Lady Michelle Obama recently announced a new private-public partnership to fill the need for more skilled workers while connecting veterans with high-tech jobs. The program is expected to help up to 161,000 service members convert training received during military service into industry-recognized certifications across high-demand IT professions. By 2020, the initiative is expected to generate roughly 1.8 million employment opportunities with an average annual salary of more than $81,000.
"I think those of us who are called to serve do so because we feel a very strong, personal obligation to support a cause bigger than ourselves," said Dominic Carpini, Service Desk engineer for Continuum, and former U.S. Navy petty officer, second class, electronics technician. "It's the duty each of us has to consider the big picture, the greater good, and work together to build a brighter future. I'm proud to work for a company like Continuum that shares this vision and commitment to give back to its employees, partners and community."
During the July 4th holiday, I encourage you to think about ways you and your company can make a difference in the lives of our veterans. They fought for our freedom, now it is our turn to fight for more opportunities so they can enjoy the benefits of a country that owes them a great deal of gratitude.

Dying Novelties, Part 1: Introduction
It's been a while since my last entry. I got banned for seven days (I don't call myself Jimmy Scythe for nuthin'), played a whole lot of Zelda: Twilight Princess and read the Watchmen graphic Novel. I recommend both Twilight Princess and Watchmen BTW. If you own a Wii or Gamecube, run (don't walk) to the video store and rent Twilight Princess for a week or two. Trust me, you'll be glad you did. I highly recommend that you find a copy of Watchmen and read through it twice regardless of your interest in comic books. Aside from that I've been working.
My job isn't very mentally demanding and requires no interaction with others. As a result, I spend eight hours of my day thinking about what ever subject happens to cross my mind. For the last two weeks that subject has been the video game industry in general. Specifically I've been thinking about the split between "hardcore" and "casual" gamers as well as the industry's new attention to making "casual friendly" games. To condense a very long series of thoughts into a one sentence conclusion: Video and computer games are a novelty.
I'm not the only one that has come to that conclusion either. During some after work poking around on the internet, I came across David Wong's blog entry entitled "Life After the Video Game Crash." Go ahead and read through the whole thing so that we're all on the same page here. Done? Yeah, that's some pretty depressing stuff he's dishing out there. That blog so completely agreed with the conclusions I had drawn over the past two weeks that I ended the day feeling more miserable and defeated than I have felt in a long, long time. Cheer up though, I've had time to think even further on the subject and the future isn't quite as dark as Mr. Wong imagines. On the flip side, it's not as bright as some would have you believe either.
To start off, I'd like to clear up some things about the aforementioned blog that some of the more eagle eyed among you may have already caught. To wit:
- Yes, the Xbox lost Microsoft 4 billion dollars but.... - The PS2 and Gamecube both made money. While there is concern about the future of the XBox brand, this could actually be the first year that it makes money for Microsoft. Speaking of the PS2, Mr. Wong correctly points out that the majority of PS2 units didn't sell until after the first price drop. What he doesn't tell you is that Nintendo had sold 60 million NES units in five years, Sega moved 29 million Genisis consoles in five years and that the original XBox had sold 24 million in five years. IN JUST TWO YEARS SONY SOLD 30 MILLION PS2 UNITS!!! I think they were doing just fine on their bottom line, don't you?
- The Crash of '83 was an American phenomenon - The industry in Europe was based on home computers like the BBC Micro and ZX - Spectrum. Japan's video game market was completely self contained with exclusively Japanese consoles like the Sega SG-1000 and the MSX computer. Furthermore, the Japanese video game industry didn't really begin until the crash in America.
- Speaking of computers..... - The article never once talks about competition from the fledgling home computer market. Never once is it mentioned that Commodore had a rather extensive ad campaign that targeted video games by asking parents why they should buy their kid a video game when a computer could get their kid into college. Commodore also instituted a program where you could trade your old video game system in for a discount on a Vic-20 or C64. Finally, Commodore also went out of their way to put their machines into department and toy stores which were the traditional distribution channels for video game systems. During the two year gap between the crash and the rise of the NES, many game companies got started by making games for the home computers of the time. Electronic Arts, Sierra, SSI, they all started out on the Commodore 64, Apple II and TI-99. Video gaming didn't die. It just changed mediums.
- Atari did not run unopposed - At the time of the crash there were no fewer than TEN video game consoles on the market (Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Colecovision, Intelivision, Emerson Arcadia 2001, Odyssey 2, Vectrex, just to name a few). To make matters worse, there was nothing even remotely resembling software licensing. Anyone could make games for any system provided that they had the money to make the cartridges. This meant that all the console makers were not only making games for their own system, but for everyone else's as well. At one point Quaker Oats made a division to manufacture games!! Yeah, the market got flooded. Flooded with shitty games.
Aside from these minor points though, Wong is dead on the money. If games aren't a novelty, why do they keep carting out new consoles periodically? Why are new graphics cards introduced every six months if games have timeless appeal? Yeah, there is a problem here.
The good news is that video games can outgrow their novelty status. After all, in thirty years comic books went from the campy adolescent stories of Spider Man to the the genuinely mature and thought provoking Watchmen. If only video games had made a similar transition rather than going from a pixelated Link to a slightly more realistic Link.....
Next week I'll swing this car around and discuss how this all relates to MMORPGs and the week after that I'll make a few predictions about where all of this is taking the genre. Until then, keep on trukin'.

Keep peekaboo bra straps and rebellious hems in check with these double-sided fashion tape strips. A secret tool in every celeb stylist's arsenal, they stop the big reveal before it happens. We keep a pack of these strips in our desk drawer at all times. Think of them as your wardrobe's little helpers.
Very disappointed to receive this product in my August. I will never use them, ever. I am literally just going to throw them away while sitting at my desk right now. I do not think this added an value to my box, and I would have been much more satisfied with an additional beauty sample.1
I received a sample and used to temporarily hem pants, it did ok on cotton/lycra mix. I used the same application method for a shirt to cover bra straps and it was completely useless. Anything with a bit of force with movement rendered this quite disappointing for me. Maybe I applied it incorrectly. Won't be buying this.2
I was excited to see this item in my Birchbox! However, I wasn't all that thrilled about its sticking power or its invisibility. I tried the fashion tape on a blouse that was a bit loose in my chest area. So I decided to use the tape to hold the fabric from showing too much while bending over or picking up items. I was disappointed though because the tape is a little too thick and you could see the shape of the tape through my blouse. The sticking power was not all there either. By midday, the tape was not sticking to my skin anymore:(2

'Progressive' Christmas Carols Are the Honest Holiday Songs We Need
Carols are as much a part of Christmas as egg nog and ugly sweaters, but they're a little outdated, aren't they?
Carols are as much a part of Christmas as egg nog and ugly sweaters, but they're a little outdated, aren't they?
Better check your sock drawer, because some Christmas black metal magic may be happening within.
We were wondering when remix master Andy Rehfeldt would finally turn a lovely Christmas tune into death metal barbarism.
If the Elf on the Shelf doesn't get your kids to behave, then maybe it's best to summon the pre-eminent authority on being naughty and nice, like this woman did.
Ham may be the gold standard for Christmas dinner in the States, but step outside the border and you're bound to find a whole other kind of meal for the big day.
The United States Marine Corps has been doing Toys For Tots since 1947, when a United States Marine Reservist and his wife started making handmade toys for children whose families could not afford anything for Christmas! And Toys for Tots continues to grow today.
If there's one thing harder than finding the perfect holiday gift, it's wrapping the perfect holiday gift once you do manage to find it.
Cops behaving badly has been a hot-button issue this year, between high-profile cases in Ferguson and New York City, but don't forget there are officers who do plenty of good.
Hundreds of people lined Yakima Avenue Sunday night to take in the 2014 edition of the Lighted Christmas Parade.
As much a yearly tradition as hanging stocking by the chimney with care, sure as s--t, my Christmas lights won't work.
In the latest 'Ten Second Songs' video, Anthony Vincent mimics the styles of Ronnie James Dio + Meshuggah for 'All I Want for Christmas is You.'
Thanks to Steve Hahn Volkswagen Kia Mercedes Benz of Yakima, The United States Air-force and The Holiday Cheer Tree Lot, we are able to give quite a few folks some amazing Christmas Trees and a few gifts for the holidays.

It's not the cheapest stock in the world, he said, but the company has demonstrated 60% earnings growth each year for the past three years, he said. Peltier believes Landec could get to $8 to $10 over time. Landec traded at $7.79 late Friday. Cramer said the stock "sounded like a buy."Of Prana Biotechnology (PRAN), Peltier said it was the one stock "I'd definitely give a buzzer to." The company has no revenue, he said, and although it has $21 million in cash, it is burning through cash at a rate of $30 million a year, he said. It's likely Prana will need to do a secondary offering, he said. If you really want to buy the stock, wait for the secondary, he said. Cramer recommended taking a pass on Prana. Finally, Peltier said Dynegy (DYN - Get Report) is a stock in the Stocks Under $10 newsletter that he particularly likes.

Iron is a mineral found in many over-the-counter supplements. Iron overdose occurs when someone accidentally or intentionally takes more than the normal or recommended amount of this medication.
Iron overdose is especially dangerous to children. Children younger than 6 years may eat too many multivitamins. If the child eats too many pediatric multivitamins, the toxic effect is usually minimal. Severe overdose can happen if a child eats adult multivitamins, such as prenatal vitamins.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Ferrous sulfate overdose; Ferrous gluconate overdose; Ferrous fumarate overdose
Iron is an ingredient in many mineral and vitamin supplements. Iron supplements are also sold by themselves. Types include:
Note: This list may not be all-inclusive.
Airways and lungs:
Gastrointestinal system:
Heart and blood:
Nervous system:
Note: Symptoms may go away in a few hours, then return again after 1 day or later.
Determine the following information:
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate.
The patient may receive:
There is a good chance of recovery if you have no symptoms 48 hours after swallowing the iron. However, some people have died up to a week after an iron overdose. The more quickly you receive treatment, the better the chance for survival.
Iron overdose can be extremely severe in children. Children may sometimes eat large amounts of iron pills because they look like candy. Many manufacturers have changed their pills so they no longer look like candy.

Life is funny. At least, the members of The Other Side Project are funny. And they are alive. Therefore, life is funny. It's simple logic, the transitive property. QED. Ponder the essential truths located in this statement, or just read my review of the local sketch comedy troupe's inaugural performance from last night. Watch the photo slideshow, too.
Three new posts are up at Balls!, our sports blog. Have a look at Eric Refsland's glorious account of the Vikings' heroic road victory. Watch the video he embeds of a previous Eli Manning collapse. Enjoy. Eric is so giddy over this win, he even floats the possibility of a wild card berth.
Did someone say: playoffs? You know I'm taking any excuse to link to this:
Next time anybody screws anything up around here, I'm going to do my best Jim Mora impression and say, "In my opinion that sucked."
Also on Balls!: Bummed that the Twins didn't re-sign Torii Hunter? If the reason is you'll miss his skills and personality, absolutely. If you think it would have been a good baseball signing, though, think again. So say I. More recently, Jonathan Kaminsky laments a Wolves' loss that brings the team to a lowly 1-10.
This link actually sounds like an absurdist comedy sketch that The Other Side Project might come up with, but apparently it's real. The headline is "China Recycling Used Condoms as Cheap Hair Bands." Not "hair bands" like Poison, either. Bands that you put in your hair. Well, not "you," I hope.
Sure, the housing market is down and there seems to be an emerging fiscal crisis, but can't we all just take a weekend to enjoy things? It was Thanksgiving. I hope you took pleasure in it. After all, you never know when things are just going to go straight to hell.
I have no crystal ball, nor do I claim to have well-developed psychic powers, but I'd be willing to bet almost anything that next Thanksgiving season will be dramatically different from this one. A dark curtain of despair has descended ...
On Friday, millions of shoppers will descend on malls and box stores where the bells and whistles of credit card transactions will reverberate every few seconds, non-stop for perhaps seventy-two hours. Those bills will come due for those shoppers in a post-holiday hangover of dollar plummeting hysteria, monumental levels of debt, foreclosure, bankruptcy, unemployment, energy depletion, skyrocketing gas and food prices, illnesses treated without health insurance coverage-or just not treated, unprecedented levels of homelessness, and by all indications, within a few months into 2008, America will be well on the road to a re-run of 1929-or something inconceivably worse.
These are the "good ole days" to be remembered when we have almost nothing that we now take for granted or feel entitled to. And at the same time, these are dark new days that begin and end amid the sea change occurring all around us. That darkness signals and (sic) end to holidays as we have known them. This year, like all those other years, we will lament that despite our best intentions, we ate too much. In what year will we remember Thanksgivings of the past and weep and salivate as we search for whatever morsels of food we can find? I am convinced that absolutely nothing will awaken Americans except starvation, but by the time they have arrived at that horrifying circumstance, it will be far too late.
Cliff's Notes: DOOM DOOM DOOM
So, um ... who's up for pumpkin pie?

I ordered two jars of this honey in hope of getting some benefits from the honey. Well, you know. Manuka honey is supposed to be helpful for many alignments. However, it wasn't until i googled "Manuka honey fake" that I found this brand doesn't really belong to a part of the licensed companies of UMFHA. And in some tests their honey was even found to have contained almost none of the good stuff that you would expect to find in real UMF honey. People! Don't be fooled by the "Active 16+" written on the jar. Just simply google it and you will know what i mean.

Made me feel sick
Posted by AnkaMaria07 on Jan 06, 2015
I do tolerate honey very well, even though I have a lot of allergies. Not this one! Made my throat swell, and my gut literally hurt. I tried taken it in smaller amounts, 1 teaspoon per day, the same results. Also the smell is really bad , like the honey from supermarkets that is full of preservatives and glucose syrup. I usually buy my honey from local producers that have bee hives, never had any problems, never smell such horibble honey. I doubt this is the real thing, sorry.

Price increase
Posted by Reviewer1590074 on Sep 05, 2012
What a price increase: Almost 4 USD, more than 13% since I ordered mine less than a month ago! This new price makes it unfeasible for all your Norwegian customers to purchase this product, since the order value must be less than 34 USD to avoid customs. I was going to reorder, but now I can't.

Seattle City Council member Richard McIver, who has been living away from his wife Marlaina Kiner-McIver since his arrest for alleged domestic violence last month,
Seattle City Council member Richard McIver, who has been living away from his wife Marlaina Kiner-McIver since his arrest for alleged domestic violence last month, was back in court this morning for a pre-trial hearing. Kiner-McIver was not present. Most of the hearing was taken up with debate over which materials should be released to the press prior to the trial, scheduled to start Dec. 10. (McIver has plead not guilty to fourth-degree assault.)
Attorneys for the Seattle PI argued that statements from witnesses obtained the night McIver was arrested as well as eight to nine minutes of audio and videotape taken from inside a police cruiser should be allowed under the state's open records law. McIver's attorney said the tape was obtained illegally, violated his client's right to privacy and could infringe on his right to a fair trial. He also warned against trying the case in the press, adding that Kiner-McIver also has specific privacy concerns with the public release of the tape and the witness statements-- and that the police had assured her this information would be kept private.
The judge sided with the PI, saying that McIver had not met the rare circumstance necessary for the materials to be held. She plans to issue an order this afternoon detailing what specifically should be released. But the press may have to wait. The defense indicated this morning it may appeal the order to Superior Court.
Update: Judge Linda Thompson ruled this afternoon that the witness statements and other previously unreleased pieces of the incident report should be made available to the press. She didn't rule on the video because of a technical problem that kept her from watching it and staid the release of the documents until tomorrow at 10 a.m. (pending word on an appeal from the defense.)

Pro-gay marriage Maple Grove church defaced with passage from Leviticus [IMAGE]
Parishioners at Pilgrims United were welcomed by this message yesterday morning.
KARE screengrab
Over the weekend, the exterior of the progressive Pilgrims United Church of Christ in Maple Grove was defaced with anti-gay messages.
SEE ALSO: Uptown 'Vote Yes' billboard is vandalized, MN for Marriage draws absurd conclusions [PHOTO]
Vandals spray painted "Church of Sodom" and "Church of Gomorrah" along with "Lev 18:22." That Bible passage reads: "Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable."
According to KARE, this isn't the first time the church, which Pastor Robin Raudabaug characterizes as "a very progressive voice in Maple Grove," has been targeted by anti-gay vandals. During the run up to last year's marriage amendment vote, Vote No signs were stolen from the property. Then, early last month, "Romans 1:26-28" was inscribed on a monument outside the church. Those Bible passages read as follows:
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
No arrests have been made and there isn't security footage of the vandals in action.
"This was a very hate-filled act," Raudabaug told KARE. "Some people wonder if our message is getting out, but this proves that people do hear us."

TEAMWORK WITH CHILDREN; Busy Parents Find Balance by Planning
Byline: Michelle Rothman, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Laura Henderson returned from a three-week business trip to East Africa 11 years ago and found her then-1-year-old twin sons, Christopher and Geoffrey, petrified that she was going to leave again.
"They cried every time I left the room," she says. "The next time they saw a suitcase, they cried."
Soon after that trip, she decided the amount of international travel required for her job as a regional manager for TechnoServe, a nonprofit international development organization, caused too much strain for her and her family.
"It was extraordinarily difficult," says Ms. Henderson, of Silver Spring. "I decided I didn't want a 30 percent travel job. That was too much."
For parents like Ms. Henderson and her husband, Peter, juggling full-time work and family is a daily struggle. Finding the right balance is the key to maintaining a sense of control, psychologists say.
After leaving TechnoServe, Ms. Henderson worked as an independent consultant, which gave her more flexibility. After three years, she began working for the Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere (CARE), a relief and development organization.
The position requires much less international travel than her job with TechnoServe, she says. However, even without the pressure of frequent travel, taking care of three children and working full time isn't easy for Ms. Henderson and her husband, who is director of the Board on Higher Education and Workforce for the National Research Council.
Accomplishing everything requires a lot of planning and scheduling, says Ms. Henderson, who also serves on the Montgomery County Commission for Women.
"I do sometimes feel overscheduled," she says, such as when her friends without children go out after work. "It would be another juggling act for me."
Instead, Ms. Henderson usually rushes home to pick up her daughter, Julia, 4, at preschool by 6 p.m., before charges for after-care kick in. Most of the time, she doesn't mind having to stick to a schedule, she says, because it won't always be necessary.
"I kind of somehow accept that this point in my life is quite scheduled," Ms. Henderson says.
Balancing work and family is a key issue couples such as the Hendersons confront daily.
The percentage of dual-earning couples increased from 66 percent in 1977 to 78 percent in 2002, according to the National Study of the Changing Workforce, a 2002 study by the National Families and Work Institute based on 3,504 interviews.
The institute, which conducts the study every five years, found couples also worked 10 more hours a week in 2002 than they did in 1977, combining for 91 hours a week.
As parents strive to raise well-rounded children, they often spread themselves and their children too thin, says Ruth Peters, a clinical psychologist, author and contributor to NBC's "Today" show.
The National Families and Work Institute found that along with the increase in combined weekly work hours, the amount of time married parents spend on child care and activities with their children increased from 5.2 hours per workday in 1977 to 6.2 hours in 2002.
Many parents put in a full day at the office, then spend the evening chauffeuring children from one activity to another, catching up on work while sitting through a karate lesson and grabbing a hamburger for dinner.
"If they're doing homework in the car every night, if it's become a steady diet of fast food," you could be trying to do too much, Mrs. Peters says.
In addition to work, parenting and volunteer responsibilities, more employees also are caring for elderly relatives. According to the National Families and Work Institute's study, 35 percent of workers say they have cared for a relative or in-law 65 or older in the past year.
While some parents enjoy this type of on-the-go lifestyle, others become overwhelmed and irritable, says psychologist Larry Kubiak, director of psychological services at Tallahassee Memorial Behavioral Health Center and president-elect of the Florida Psychological Association. …

May 07 4th Annual ThreatMetrix Cybercrime Prevention Summit 2014 – the Biggest of Its Kind – Takes Place November 5-7 in Palm Springs.
Bringing together more than 250 cybersecurity experts from around the world to share strategies for making the Internet safer for business, the ThreatMetrix® Cybercrime Prevention Summit 2014 will take place November 5-7 at the La Quinta Resort and Club, Palm Springs, California.
Keeping with this year's theme of "Building Trust on the Internet," the summit will focus on building trust through a collective approach to cybersecurity. The ThreatMetrix Global Trust Intelligence Network, the world's largest trusted identity network, enables such an approach by sharing threat intelligence across more than 2,500 customers and 500 million monthly transactions.
With the Identity Theft Resource Center recording 614 data breaches in 2013 (a 30 percent jump over 2012), the need for a collective approach to cybersecurity becomes apparent.
"Businesses are challenged by not only working to keep the bad actors away from their sites, but doing so while maintaining a frictionless experience for their trusted employees and customers," said Bert Rankin, chief marketing officer, ThreatMetrix. "By connecting with experts and peers, summit attendees will learn best practices for collective cybersecurity strategies necessary to streamline customer and employee access while protecting online accounts and data."
Attendees will be able to connect with industry experts, technologists and other fraud prevention and cybersecurity professionals across a wide range of verticals. And speakers will present on topics from "Top Trends in Cybercrime" to "Best Practices to Fight E-Commerce Fraud."
There will be a host of expert speakers. Notably, among them is Byron Acohido, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and current editor-in-chief at Last Watchdog and The Securitist, where he reports on tech, security and privacy topics. Earlier in his career, Acohido was a journalist for USA Today, where he won national recognition for cybersecurity and other technology reporting.
Also featured will be Julie Conroy, research director at Aite Group. Conroy has more than a decade of hands-on experience covering fraud and data security and has worked with a variety of financial institutions, payments processers, and risk management companies.
"The ThreatMetrix Cybercrime Prevention Summit 2014 offers attendees the unique opportunity to connect one-on-one both inside and outside the confines of a conference room," said Rankin. "Whether on the golf course or hearing from a world-class cybersecurity expert during a speaking session, all attendees will return from the summit reinvigorated and with new insights to adapt to the ever-evolving Internet threats."
To enhance personal interactions, attendance at the ThreatMetrix Cybercrime Prevention Summit 2014 is limited. To learn more or to register, please visit: http://cybercrimepreventionsummit.com/.

Arcuarius Nebula by ChrisColdWatch
©2009-2016 ChrisCold
Inspired by Sam Mulqueen.
Fantastic work. I love the unusual texture feeling I sense from the more brightly lit areas. It brings up nostalgic memories for me. If I were to describe the impression, it reminds me of some Christmas decorations that were made of spun fiberglass-like filaments (think of insulation colored in a given monochromatic range) and were made to place over incandescent Christmas lights. They altered the light in a manner that felt similar to the point sources in this painting. Very cool! Sorry for the long comment, just thought I'd share in return for the enjoyment I obtained from seeing this.
super very nice
Wow .. just wow .. who doesn't like colors !!!? .. I LOVE colors .. specially when it comes to space art .. monotone is good sometimes to deliver a certain mood .. but when colors dance in space (like here) it is a dazzling display like non other ... and that's one very captivating and inspiring piece of art indeed ^_^
that's REALLY dang cool
You know, all those colors look really cool on photopaper. And I have it upside down on my wall and it looks better
If you threw a fancy title and signature on their id consider buying it as a print
absolutely love this piece. amazing color scheme goes really well with the balanced but random gaseous clouds. I have yet to make something as amazing as this. My only good nebula so far is Internal Conflict.
"Artist's Comments"
ahahahahaha it' really funny
ahahahahaha it' really funny
im mad digging on these colors.
oooh! a proper nebular! i don't concider a nebular a nebular untill you start seeing things, shapes in it.
i stared at it and i can inded see shapes. by shapes i mean creapy vaguely hand shaped bits or an eye or something.
aaaaaaanyway ignore my randon insanity.
this is Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!
i stared at it and i can inded see shapes. by shapes i mean creapy vaguely hand shaped bits or an eye or something.
aaaaaaanyway ignore my randon insanity.
this is Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!
its also reminded me that i'm suposed to be getting started on a photography prgect where i highlight shapes i've seen in photos of nebulars.
This is great! I love it.
This is gorgeous, like your other work; the colors are just amazing. Keep it up!
One of the finest pieces of nebulae work I've seen since Greg, stunning.
I just keep coming back to look at this...It's so amazing. Reminds me of some of Greg martin's stuff.
Thanks, man
Yeah, maybe Greg's work Riven or Riven 2, but i'm really hypnotized by sumopiggy's art, it's always an inspiration for me
Yeah, maybe Greg's work Riven or Riven 2, but i'm really hypnotized by sumopiggy's art, it's always an inspiration for me
yea I know exactly what you mean. sumopiggy was one of the first spaceartists I stumbled upon after Gerg actually...
and the colours are phenomenal.
wow this is amazing.
Wonderful colours!
Aaah, this is great. I like the colour variations and it feels very "fluffy" or light to me. Nicely done
I like the move towards color. Its always good to expand your style eh?
No way man, the colors work great here! I especially love the interplay of light and shadow in this piece, as well as the amazing level of detail, excellent work!
i like it but those colors....
You emo XD
But yeah, i'm also not a fan of colors
You emo XD
But yeah, i'm also not a fan of colors
Looks great mate, really good choice of colours.
Stunning! That's somewhere I'd like to be
as allways...great... i think i like this one the most, maybe because of the composition, i like the green half being biger, it gives me a sensation...i can't describe, i also like the multitonality, makes it look lighter, without losing the nebula look. btw if the green its not green i'm sory but i have a sebere color distinguition problem.
Well, there is green color in this pic so i guess u're not really wrong
eventhough i find the change in colours too abrubt, especially from yellow to blue, i think the clouds are so well done it's still favworthy. I would have prefered a little less colourful, more serene nebula though
