Respiratory Therapy
Respiratory Therapy provides relief to millions of Americans, from newborns to the elderly, who have difficulty breathing or cannot breathe on their own due to impaired or nonfunctioning lungs. Typical patients of respiratory care therapists suffer from asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, lung cancer, stroke, drowning accidents, heart attacks, birth defects, emphysema, cystic fibrosis, or sleep apnea.
Trauma victims and surgery patients are also treated by respiratory therapists. In addition to treatment, respiratory care also includes education and rehabilitation services, plus diagnostic testing.
Here are some of the things respiratory therapists do:
- Use life support mechanical ventilation for patients who need it.
- Administer medications in aerosol form.
- Monitor equipment and patients' responses to therapy.
- Obtain blood specimens and analyze to determine levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases.
- Maintain artificial airways (tracheostomy or intubation).
- Measure the capacity of patients' lungs to determine if there is impairment.
- Obtain and analyze sputum specimens and chest X-rays.
- Interpret data from tests.
- Assess vital signs and other indicators of respiratory dysfunction.
- Perform stress tests and other studies of the cardiopulmonary system.
- Study disorders of people with disruptive sleep patterns.
- Conduct rehabilitation activities.
- Lead asthma education and smoking cessation programs.

A diamond tiara was recently found in Canton, Ohio, belonging to the former first Lady Ida McKinley. The owner sold it for a rich price, and plans to donate it to the Epilepsy Foundation. The tiara will be unveiled to the public at the McKinley Museum today, and many will hopefully see it.
History is a fascinating thing to behold, especially if it is right in front of you. With the news of this tiara, it brings to light our ever-present interest in digging up the past and respecting it while doing our best to learn from it. A film that explores this in full magnitude is 1956's Anastasia.
Not to be confused with the 1997 animated musical version, though that version did base a lot of its plot on this one, this one stars Yul Brynner, Ingrid Bergman, Helen Hayes, and Akim Tamiroff. The film starts off in 1927 Paris, where the exiled General Sergei Pavlovich Bounine (Brynner) is looking to find the lost, possibly living daughter of the last Czar of Russia. On the night of the Orthodox Christmas Eve, Bounine encounters a woman (Bergman) who bares a striking resemblance to an older Anastasia.He lets his colleagues, Boris Adrevich Chernov (Tamiroff) and Piotr Ivanovich Petrovin (Sacha Pitoff) know his thoughts, and they track her down, just as she is about to commit suicide. They take her to their lair underneath Bounine's restaurant, where we find out that this woman spent time in a mental institution and escaped with her life, and since she never knew who she is, led her to suicidal thoughts and amnesia. Bounine teaches her how to be and act royal, and then, exposes her to his contacts of the former Russian royalty. She becomes confident in this new identity, and stuns the people who think of her as a fraud. But, amid this, the traumas of her past make her feel like she is betraying herself in this ruse. Bounine comforts her, and reminds her it might be her real identity. Since she and Bounine manage to climb up to the top, they venture to Cogenhagen to gain an audience with the Dowager Empress Maria Fedorovna(Hayes). It is not an easy task, but you will have to see the film to see how it turns out.
As we uncover history, we are bound to connect to the truth of those circumstances, and to get a sense of what that time was by the artifacts that lay behind. The film explores that, as well as offer to let the audience determine for itself, as we all must do when we discover a historical truth.

Course History
Peter Hay Golf Course
The short game at Pebble Beach Resorts
Peter Hay and Samuel F. B. Morse were interested in the concept of a 9-hole course where golfers could work on their short game or squeeze a short round into a busy day. There was a parcel of available hillside between the Pebble Beach Golf Links and the Pebble Beach Equestrian Center with barely enough space—less than 10 acres.
The course opened in 1957 and proved popular. Since then, Peter Hay Golf Course has been used for everything from warming-up to introducing children to the game. It has been used to host the professional and celebrity shoot-outs preceding the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The Peter Hay tournament for boys and girls is also played on this course.
Standing at the top of Peter Hay Golf Course is the 30,000 pound bronze sculpture, "Momentum," created by artist Richard MacDonald. The sculpture was created in celebration of the 100th playing of the U.S. Open golf championship at Pebble Beach and won by Tiger Woods. The image represents the anatomy of the golf swing and the dawn of the new Millennium as it encircles centuries of excellence past, present and future.

iTechnician.co.uk, is the U.K's premier source for Apple iPhone, iPad, iPod and now Blackberry and HTC Smartphone and Tablet repairs.
iTechnician.co.uk, the U.K's premier source for smartphone and Tablet repair, has recently expanded its Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch repair service to include Blackberry and HTC mobile phone and Tablet repairs.
iTechnician originally started repairing and servicing mobile phones from as early as 1997 from a unit in Liverpool. The team of technicians have repaired in excess of 100,000 mobile devices for the general public as well as trade customers and have since expanded the team of technicians as well as the technology / equipment needed to repair and service these sophisticated mobile smartphone and tablet devices.
iTechnician continue to offer iPhone repair and fixes all smartphones, iPads, iPods, Blackberry and HTC phones and tablets, many of which can be completed while you wait and repairs come with a 100 day warranty. iTechnician promise a low fixed price guarantee on all repairs.
Managing Director Al Lijee said, "We are looking forward to growing with the Smartphone community and providing a great service to all of our customers." Since 1997, iTechnician has been repairing and servicing mobile devices from their state of the art repair and service centre located in Liverpool. He added, "We base our business on the fact that we want to satisfy each and every customer. We want them to have an experience with our business that is second to none. Whether you need to fix your Blackberry, HTC, iPhone, iPod, or need an iPad repair, most repairs can be completed while you wait. That makes our service extremely convenient for our customers."
The repair technicians at iTechnician have seen, and repaired, nearly every type of damaged iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, amongst other mobile devices. They have seen and repaired it all.
In a day and age where consumers rely on their mobile devices to guide their daily lives from email, GPS, games, social media and more, it is no wonder that the demand for repair needs are on the rise. Smartphones and tablets are experiencing more accidents, most commonly water damage and broken screens.
The option to replace these costly devices is not often available for the average consumer. When devices break, consumers now find themselves disconnected from their social and professional world. iTechnician offers a solution alternative to just replacing the device. For a fraction of the cost to replace the device, iTechnician can repair damaged smartphones, iPads, iPods, Blackberry and HTC devices.
They also have repair services and programs to support businesses, Government, and educational institutions whose employees/students are using devices that break. If you are not near our walk-in location, iTechnician offers a full line of mail-in repair services through their website www.itechnician.co.uk

We like stoppages. We just do. Does that make us savages? Nah, we do so many other things which remind us that we are animals, looking for finishes in fights is about 997 on the list. But let's put it this way…more people will be talking about Keith Thurman on Monday morning if he takes out Jan Zaveck in vicious fashion than were talking about ultra-skilled Gary Russell Jr. on Monday morning after he did his thing but couldn't stop Vyacheslav Gusev in Vegas.
This brings me to Timothy Bradley--he fights Russian Ruslan Provodnikov Saturday, March 16, in his first outing since beating, or "beating," Manny Pavquiao last June, and on a Tuesday conference call to hype the scrap, we heard that Bradley is a new Bradley (29-0 with 12 KOs). We heard that he's grown, from trainer Joel Diaz, and that he might well be the first man to stop the Russian with the 22-1 mark. "Tim is really smart and now his punching power has now increased because we made some adjustments," Diaz said. "You are going to see a different Tim Bradley on the 16th and don't be surprised if it doesn't go the distance."
The two will tangle at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., and the bout will be broadcast live on HBO World Championship Boxing®, beginning at 10:15 P.M. ET / PT.
So anyway, the stoppage idea sounds good to me, and what with all the idiocy flowing from judges' pencils, who in their right mind would settle for a decision anyway?
"I am looking to make a statement in this fight and I am looking to damage this guy," Bradley said. "I am looking to put this guy out. I don't want to go 12 rounds with this guy. The longer he stays around the more confident he will get so I want to get him out of there as soon as possible."
You got the sense that the "win" over Pacquiao didn't bring Bradley (photo above by Chris Farina-Top Rank) what he might have expected to gain from it. The win didn't bring him the megafight he'd expected, or the riches, or the respect. He said he's stopped reading about himself and now doesn't care what haters say. You felt for the guy when he shared how he got hammered after the win. "Some people talked about my wife, my kids," he said. "People sent me death threats after the fight because I won undeservingly. (I got death threats thru the) mail and phone calls. I didn't report anything. I am in my house and nobody will mess with me when I'm in my house. I didn't really take them seriously. People were mad but I didn't think they would come to my house and take me out. I don't think that would ever happen."
Yikes, think people take their sporting events a bit too seriously?
It is clear Bradley, all these months later, is still trying to figure out that Pacquiao fight, the result and the ramifications. When asked about Pacquiao's KO loss to Marquez, he said, "Do you want the devil's side or do you want to good side of me? One side said 'that's what you get for not re-matching me.' The other side said 'that was a helluva fight and I can't believe what just happened.'
Trainer Diaz created some buzz when asked about Freddie Roach, who is training Provodnikov, and has for his last three bouts. "Freddie Roach is not my concern," he said. "My concern is the fighter. Freddie Roach was just a name that was created. I think Freddie Roach lost the love of the sport. He created a name and it's out there but he doesn't have the compassion for the sport that he had a few years ago…Freddie Roach is always trying to play mind games. Freddie says Tim is going to run – that is just Freddie playing mind games. They don't know how we are going to fight. He is trying to get under Tim's skin. At the end of the day Tim is going to be a winner, and that's what matters."
Later, when he was on the line, Roach responded. "I could tell him where to go but he doesn't know me," he said. "He doesn't know what I do every day. He doesn't see me in the gym working with these fighters. I know he's just saying it to get under my skin. I have a game plan and the right fighters to carry that game plan through and on the 16th we'll see who's the better coach or who's the better man." He then softened on Diaz. "I don't read anything he says," he said. "I just don't have time for that. I'm sure he is a nice person outside of the ring.
Readers, could Provodnikov spring the upset?

Nice article . Not sure if Bradley means it or not. The Russian is tough. Bradley should try and get rid of him early if he's ready to eat some shots and catch the guy in between punches.or Bradley should box but he should move lateral instead of backwards . If he is on the back foot most of the time I don't see him winning and he might get overwhelmed .
What comes around, goes around. Now dat everybodee and dey momma know that Big Foot is the 5-foot-5 Cali Cranium Crusher on dumb, they won't pity him when he is jobbed in his own home state.
It is all up in the air. Don't be surprised that Bradley loses on a controversial verdict -- decision, or kayo or DQ. You heard it here, first! Holla!
A simple way to assess whether Tim Bradley beats Ruslan Provodnikov *may* be to ask whether Bradley is better than Mauricio Herrera and/or whether Provodnikov will present a tougher challenge (for Tim) than Luis Abregu did in 2010.
That question and the backgrounds to the Herrera V Provodnikov and Bradley V Abregu fights may tell all that's needed to know about the fate of the Provodnikov V Bradley fight.
Bear in mind also that Tim Bradley fought Abregu, as Tim's first welterweight fight and also whilst Tim was practically a light welterweight. Not a bad experience to call on for a guy like Provodnikov.
Needless to say Abregu was a fully blown welterweight with a high KO percentage when Tim fought and beat him, and Tim wasn't really even a welterweight at all; as substantiated by the fact that Bradley went straight back to light welterweight and then successfully walked down Devon Alexander for the WBO and WBC light welterweight titles in 2011.
Regardless of that win, Bradley is still not a KO artist. Doesn't mean he can't handle one though.
Fact is, Bradley handled Luis Abregu relatively easy. As demonstrated by the wide scorecard margins. To do that he had to know how to negate Abregu's power, because Abregu was at that stage pretty much already a KO artist - that is unless winning by the easy route 80% of the time deserves another more apt and less flattering description.
To Provodnikov; he had a life and death struggle in a great fight with Herrera, whom is arguably a class (or two) down on Bradley. There is no doubt in my mind that Herrera would be destroyed and perhaps ruined permanently, if he fought Bradley.
Provodnikov looks like he fights with a controlled rage and that may or may not be a good/bad thing. It certainly makes him predictable and available for a wide variety of shots; particularly for the fighter that doesn't buckle when being rushed and attacked.
Provodnikov may also have a little more intensity than Abregu, but from Bradley's perspective it's not unreasonable to imagine him thinking that fighting a welterweight OK artist Abregu - whilst Tim himself was easily a weight division below - probably means that Luis' additional torque on his forward gears makes up for any extra intensity Provodnikov may have over Abregu.
Aside from that Tim's underlying strategy for fighting Provodnikov probably won't be too dissimilar to Luis Abregu, or any other fiercely competitive puncher that, if he has more than 1 dimension, it is rarely on display.
The principles on how each style deals with another never change, just the means and ways it is employed and wrapped up in anything additional and special that may constitute and exhibition of ancillary skills and special effects.
Currently Ruslan has been putting almost 70% of his opponents to sleep. Whereas Abregu (who appears to have battled better competition) has effectively used the sleeping pills in both hands to finish approximately 80% of his fights early.
A relatively shop worn DeMarcus Corley, whom had lost no less than 5 fights in a row prior to Provodnikov selecting him as an opponent, managed to stay out of harm's way and avoid a charging Ruslan Provodnikov - who attempted to throw murderous punches almost completely throughout his fight with Corley in 2011.
Corley (not without some style and other similarities to Bradley) in his fight with the Russian Ruslan Provodnikov laid out one way to avoid Provodnikov's KO attempts. It's not an insignificant consideration because a KO must surely be the most obvious way he can beat Bradley, unless someone out there sincerely believes Provodnikov can stick and move with Bradley and win on points.
Interestingly, DeMarcus' game-plan and ability to survive Provodnikov on that night was also not without its similarities to how Kassim Ouma (someone else both Corley and Bradley have similarities with) fought for 12 rounds and unexpectedly extended Golovkin; who is another fighter with a Russian/Kazakhstan decendency that sometimes (like Provodnikov) falls in love with punching - even though it doesn't always have a strategic purpose.
Corley had been successively beaten by several top level or pretty good guys prior to his fight with Ruslan Provodnikov; but Provodnikov - despite arguably selecting Corley for a KO win (why else fight a name opponent that had just lost for the fifth time in a row prior to your offer?) - still couldn't get him out of there early.
If Provodnikov can't get a past his prime and defensive minded Corley, who is approaching his sixth loss in a row, out early; the question is what did Corley do to nullify Provodnikov and can Bradley do the same and or better? Stated like that, it's hard to arrive at the conclusion that Bradley can't
Over to perhaps something positive about Provodnikov'.
Emmanuel Augustus, after a lengthy and tough career found Provodnikov across the ring from him in 2010. At that stage of Augustus' career (unlike Corley) he was unable to move, punch and think defensively when faced with reasonably big punchers; all at the same time. He was KO'd in 9 rounds by Provodnikov.
After Ruslan Provodnikov fought DeMarcus Corley he then fought and knocked out Torres and Reynoso; whom, whilst not stiffs, were hardly tremendous challenges. They served their purposes though and Provodnikov got KO wins on both counts by simply running over them so hard that they couldn't get out of the way.
Provodnikov is a vicious body puncher. And, when given the chance, he doesn't go to the head too badly either.
While all that happened for Provodnikov, Bradley had fought Alexander, Casamayor and Pacquiao. Bradley beat them all, and knocked out an ageing Joel Casamayor. Furthermore, Pacquiao who was arguably a better KO artist than Provodnikov, failed to knockout Tim when Tim controversially beat him.
Prior to the Alexander win, Bradley successfully fought the above-mentioned; Abregu, Campbell, Witter and Peterson, Cherry and Holt. Looking at that line-up; it's not even worth mentioning Provodnikov' competition during those same times - unless you didn't want to draw comparisons or conclusions from the competition/differences.
When Herrera fought Provodnikov in 2011 both guys, particularly Herrera, were pushed to their limits. At times Herrera was so tired and hurt that he was merely punching on instinct. But the fact he kept punching and countering after Provodnikov came in and landed or missed - regardless of how tired and uncollected Mauricio was - became significant and paid dividends on the scorecards.
That was because of Provodnikov' lack of meaningful defence.
If Herrera was able to remain composed enough to both make Provodnikov miss and also deliver his own power shots, without putting too much muscle/effort behind it; Provodnikov probably would have gone down. Still regardless of all this, even when Provodnikov got caught, hit and buzzed; his game-plan never changed.
That will not be a good thing against Bradley and it's probably why Roach is saying that Provodnikov will fight Tim differently; regardless of whether it's true or not.
If Corley can get out of the way and survive after 5 losses; it's probably fair to say, so can Tim. And if Abregu can't land enough telling power shots against Bradley, then Roach better be serious when he says Provodnikov will fight differently; not in the least as not only had Bradley shown us that he can take away guys like Abregu and Provodnikov' main weapons - but Provodnikov may also just be easier to hit than most of Bradley's opponents over the last 3 or 4 years.
Herrera has shown us that.
Provided Bradley can handle and diffuse Provodnikov' power, and remain composed; he should have it in the bag. Bradley's skills, movement, combinations, better class of opponents and overall experience tell us that.
Bradley....hmmmm...when I think about Bradley I think about a spot that I would not like to be in.He defeated Manny but it seems like thats the worst thing that happenned in his career.
Bradley will be beat or jobbed. Either way, he's getting the BIG payday. This dude is the most despised fighter on two big-@ss feet and big-@ss cranium. Hahaha! Holla!
The Cali Cranium Crusher Lmmfao!!!
@Maromero real talk winning a fight against PAC was suppose to be a dream come true instead it's turned into a nightmare.
well thats because he lost 10/12 rounds and got a roberry decision and runs around bragging about destroying pacman..
its honestly looney...
alls bradley had to say was that it was a close fight that could have went either way and he respects manny and would
fight a rematch..
how hard is that?
apparently it is disturbingly hard...
ive never seen a more muscular person with absolutely no punching power....it amazes me
bradley should be on espns sports science for the ridiculous fact of how he has no power
its an anomally
He has neither brain power or punching power, just cranium crushing your syet with dat big-arse cranium crusher. And his can run like bambi with those size-13 dogs. WTF! People ought to quit searching for "Big Foot." My theory is that Bradley is the culprit. He cannot admit to losing. Maybe he will fess up about being Big Foot.
Bradley should be getting mad pay. He's a freak. How many 5-foot-5 cats do you know that wear a size nine hat and a size 13 shoe? After his squared-jungle career, he should sign up for a traveling circus or carnival. And he can keep up his fantasy of beating Da Manny and how Da Manny is scare of him. Holla!
All good points Amayseng. I have often wondered too, why Tim didn't just concede the Pacquiao fight was very close. As for Bradley's lack of KO wins, that's interesting too. As, you would think, he will need some power to tame Ruslan; unless he intend to use his head (again).
What 5 5 dude wears a 9 hat and wears 13 in shoes hahahaha! Lmmfao!! His head got wayyyy more power then his fist .
Sure! I know it very well. The corrupted-arse USADA allow roids and PEDs that VADA and WADA deem illegal and BIG no-nos. It is like the whole hurt bitnezz of boxing. Nevada and California allows an amount of syet in a fighter that other state and country commissions will not. In the U.S. capitol city of Washington, you can shoot pellets of roids up in your poot inside your anus, and pay a quack to say that you had a medical illness of "Low T" and needed a roids-and-PEDs boost up da @ss. Give me a break!
I'm all for Texas and the Philippines. Double fudge the d@mn TESTS. Fight muthasuckas! Look like Hulks if you like, but real fighters will whup yo' sorry @sses! No matter whatever is in you. Holla!
Stormcentre, I like your analogy! my boy beat Ruslan on pure skills. Looks like Ruslan has improve since and hoping for an upset here! looks like TM is very confident since my boy,is a mere sparring partner for him. He has been helping him prepare for the fight. I will not be surprised if timmy jumps off the canvass onces or twice, Ruslan is very strong. I still got Timmy winning UD.
Wow! The Cali Cranium Crusher is short on skills. His best skill is his trick of the trade of cranium crushing. He'll smack that whole-size-nine head straight-up in your mug and bust your eyelids wide open. And he will bambi hop and trot with those size-13 dogs of his instead of rumbling; and then those dogs will start barking after dey start stumbling. Hehehe!
Much luv to him, but his will be fighting near LA, not Palm Springs. Expect for him to be treated with the cold shoulder by the City of the Angeles' fight crowd. Holla!
Stormcentre said = Radam, you do know that Bradley opted for USADA testing rather than VADA don't you?
radam you kill me with your bradley shoe size talk
Bradley is more than a one trick pony.. his kills will be on full display in an excellent display against Provodnikov next week.
But he is a one BIG-@SS cranium con muthasucka, who is probably the missing-link "Big Foot." He'll bambi again until those size 13 dogs start barking and howling. Bradley will get more big-foot injuries. Holla!
Bradley is definitely on the roids. He matches Barry Bonds in dome size and dog size, and dat sucka is eight inches shorter and 80 pounds lighter than Bonds. I bet Bradley can hit a baseball out of a b-ball park by 50 kilometers. See that roids jive doesn't help his hitting in pugilism. Dat jive just eye candyizes your body in Hulkized, but no bang, pop and crack. Holla!
Bradley has already agreed to VADA TESTING for his next fight... also when Bradley defeated Peterson ....there's no way to measure how high a concentration Peterson was using that day as he was beaten from pillar to post while eventually being floored.
Suspicion is much easier to manufacture than proof.
Anybody on the street can hurl an unfounded accusation....with little effort.
Truth supported by facts is a much harder commodity to obtain.
No, B-Sug! The Cali Cranium Crusher agreed to USADA, not VADA. Besides, there is no rule against using. It is just the amounts used and the banned ones not accepted for a certain commission. Ninety-nine percent of boxers, including Bradley and Money May, are using roids and PEDs that give their bodies that Hulk-eye-candy look. Holla!
Maybe I spoke too fast. An in da know just skyped me that he believes Bradley indeed is using VADA with a few waviers. Holla!
bradley is a joke, he turned down a 2.6 mill payday with peterson who is looking terrific,
for a no name (to the nonhardcore) for what like 25% the money..
also he says the boxing public needs to see more of him..
ive had enough and dont want much more..
plus he said he rewatched the pac fight and won 8 rounds...
bradley is up there with ortiz
In the video I saw Bradley himself said he initially went with USADA because they were all he knew. It was a very, very lame reason in my view. Particularly considering that every fighter knows how controversially flexible USADA have been and that VADA exist. Recently he may have changed over to use VADA, but I will be extremely surprised if Bradley has opted to use VADA without conditions and/or limiting VADA's scope. I hope I am wrong.
Update; I have located the video of Bradley.
In it he's actually stating that he's been inactive for 6 months; with the exception of strength training - which can be a worry (ah la Vargas before Mosley).
Bradley, also (interestingly in my view) in the same video, confirms that he had VADA originally scheduled for the PED testing in relation to the Provodnikov fight, but then opted to switch over to USADA (whom are more relaxed than VADA, not as inflexible as VADA, and are less stringent and comprehensive with their tests than VADA).
So Bradley went from the more reputable PED testing regime - to the less reputable PED testing regime; according to this video.
If anyone wants it email me via the forum.
No way that I dislike the Cali Cranium Crusher/Big Foot -- aka Tim "Lying-arse" Bradley. I'm just funning and retorting to his bulljive. Holla!
But TB is personally rude and moody and a fibber. No doubt that he has roid rage, but his big-arse head couldn't fit in a Mighty Joe Young cage. I just hope that he is never given a movie part and a knife. I'm reminded of OJ Simpson's ex wife.
Bradley needs to get off the roids. No rhyme. He will go berserk in time. He is suck a fake. He'd push you in a lake. And then pretend that you fell -- no mistake. And that he was trying to save you for goodness sake. Somebody oughta smack him with a cake. And inside that cake needs to be medicine for the insane. Maybe TB would eat bit of it like a-big-headed one-trick pony snacking on a sugarcane. Hehehe! I gotta catch this plane.
Here I come LA. And karma is coming for TB -- OKAY! Holla!
I think it will be interesting to see if Bradley has enough power to get Provodnikov's respect. If Bradely doesn't have enough pop and Provodnikov stays busy and works the body, Bradley is going to have to run all night.
Bambi -- I mean Bradley -- is going to run all night. Those 13-size dogs are going to be barking, blistering and howling. And Bradley's big-@ss dome is going to be getting popped, as Bradley is gonna be Cali Cranium crushing da mug of the long-name Russian at every turn. If it is a good ref, Bradley will lose points for dat jive trick of the trade.
Nobody is running to Tim Bradley as if he is a Cali gold rush. That muthachump may get D'Qed for causing a Provodnikov an-over-da eyes blood gush. Holla!
Ditto, Storm! Team Bradley is a lot of loutish liars. Those muthajokers just cannot be truthful. They straight-up lies to top-gun newpaper journalist who bent over backward us them to get their jive-turkey blank-da-blank out.
Trueline and bottomline, Tim Bradley is going with the highly corrupted USADA because he know that VADA will not give waivers for being dirty that USADA has agreed to. Team Bradley is typical boxing -- SEEDY! Hehehe!
WTF is in TB's "vegan diet?" Roids are in his bean sandwich, and PEDs are in his smoothes. What a R &P wuzzy! Holla!
I think Bradleys bank account is more than enough compensation for bad press.... he gave Paq a good scrap..he didn't win in my eyes...but it was closer than what he's given credit for.
Bradley tried to give him a rematch...being the younger hungrier guy he might have won the rematch in an ugly brawl of a title fight. We'll probably never know now.
Bradley will give Paq credit for the first fight long after he's hung up the gloves...just like Leonard finally gave Hearns credit .......but for now that"W" will be used as an asset on Bradleys books. It will be part of hi introduction for every fight(the Paq Slayer). ......and every time casual fans hear it...they'll go "who's that guy?....he must be a beast".
RG....IF the USADA is the most corrupted drug agency..then why didn't Paq ever test? Surely he had the money ..prestige and connections to pay them off like you say Bradley must have done... instead he chose the weakest form of testing..the **** test.
by the convoluted standards of this witch hunt, Paq has to be juicing. Especially when you take into account that Paq hits ten times harder than Bradley.
No need to respond unless you can back it up with evidence.
Be it is pro boxing and there are already rules in place, though seedy as they are. Money May started that grandstanding syet for all this testing. I don't agree with testing. Those roids and PEDs don't win fights. As I already noted, I'm with Texas, the Indian Reservations and the Philippines. In the words of a great ref: "Let's get it on!"
And stop this jive of weak-@ss roids and PEDs testing. They're not giving jive suckas victories somehow, anyway. I can name tons of fighters on suspension right now for dat jive, and the users lost their bouts clearly.
Da Manny ain't no grandstander and fronter. He's a fighter, who test skills and talents, not myths about super syet dat ain't syet. Get rid of the condition trainers and roids-and-PEDs outfits. And just let 122-year-old professional gloved boxing be itself -- seedy to da T. Holla!
Oh, YUP! Maybe you haven't heard but punchers are born. Not roids-and-PEDs made. Bradley punching power could slightly increase by proper techniques. That flaunting and swatting give roids-and-PEDs noggin no cooperation. And bambilizing with those long-arse, size-13 dogs take away his power even more. Holla!
@Radam. Bambilizing? That's a verb, yes? Radam, it's amazing how many things we agree on. Then you lose me when you comment on how you're 'more than ok' with seedy boxing. Here's a sport with no DL List, no Injured Reserve. No fighters benching themselves because they have to face left-handed pitching. Heck, compared to pugilists (& MMA fighters), those other athletes are sissies. More fighters go into a fight with nagging injuries of some kind than those that don't. These are amazing athletes in a great sport that has a clear need to be exorsised of it's seediness.
Boxing is war with gloves on, instead of war with guns, bombs and nukes. Where are the weapon of mass destruction? There were none, just a bunch of seediness. Where is the justice for Jack Johnson? There is none for "Unforgivable Blackness," just a bunch of seediness. Why are no million-dollar dolls, thousand-dollar damsels and cheaply-paid dames on ESPN fights anymore? Because fat-belly men are threatened by seeing members of the XX chromosome being able to whup dat XY chromosome @ss. Seediness of combat, and that's that. Hehehe! Holla!
Tim Bradley does charity and is a good family man but he is hated, is it cause of the color of his skin? Where is the hate for Rios for his robbery of Abril which he celebrated.
Nobody but maybe a few sickos would hate Bradley because of his skin color. I doubt that many people hate him PERIOD! People just don't like a ¢ocksure clown playing with their commonsense. Rios's bout was close. Bradley's bout was not. For what all TB does, he's still delusional and a con artist. Holla!
nobody dislikes bradley because of the color of his skin, he could be green for all i care...
in fact i liked him before the alexander fight,
having to tirlessly listen to his rhetoric and propaganda telling us he won 8 rounds clearly and we fans dont know shyt
about boxing is old...
in fact after the fight he was in the ring caught on video telling his trainer that he tried but couldnt beat pacman that
floyd wont win either because pac keeps coming and wont stop....
then turns around and hands us the bs..........continuily for a year now... its old
I can certainly say that I don't hate him and actually think he is a really talented boxer.
Really talented boxers also, sometimes, look for any advantage they can get.
And Bradley, for the above-mentioned reasons, makes me wonder when I hear him talk about cleaning up the sport from PEDs; but at the same time running away from the best way to do it.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

The two brothers Guy and Howard Lawrence are Disclosure. They were just at the Grammy's after being nominated for Best Dance/Electronica Album for their hit debut album Settle and will be heading to Dallas this very weekend to play a sold-out show at House of Blues Dallas and at It'll Do Club in Deep Ellum. They will be performing live with synths, drums, and other assorted instruments at the House of Blues and will be doing a DJ set at It'll Do. At this very moment there are less than 100 tickets left for their DJ set at It'll Do. All interested parties should head to Eventbrite ASAP to pick up tickets. Tickets are $20 plus handling.
It'll Do Club is hands down THE club to go to for deep house and new wave electronic music. Indie legend James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem was there in December for an out of this world DJ set. Expect nothing different from Disclosure. With hits like "Latch," "White Noise," "You and Me," and "F for You" both the concert at House of Blues and their DJ set at It'll Do should be a dream come true for electronic music fans both old and new.
*Update* - Tickets for both shows are now sold out.

Randall LeMaster enters his third season as an assistant with the Penn men's and women's fencing program.
Both the men's and women's teams grew by leaps and bounds in 2011-12. On the men's side, a 16-0 start to the year left the Quakers as the last undefeated team in the nation. The team eventually finished at 19-5 and as champions of the U.S. Collegiate Weapon Squad Championships for the second year in a row. The women's team came in at 14-7 for the season and featured freshman Luona Wang, who advanced all the way to the national title bout in foil, ending her first year at Penn as the national runner-up in the weapon. All told, 10 fencers advanced to the national event and the Quakers ended the year in seventh place with six earning All-American honors.
LeMaster came to Philadelphia from Ft. Myers, Florida, were he served as owner and manager of Salle de Napoli, a fencing training facility in Ft. Myers, since 2006. During his four years at Salle, his pupils were regular fixtures among the top 16 at the North American Cup while several received national rankings. LeMaster holds a director's rating in epee, foil and saber. He honed his skills as a fencer under the tutelage of Michael Morgan, who has over 50 years of fencing experience and was a long-time student of Maîtres Lajos Csiszar and Bella De Tuscan.
LeMaster previously spent time at Penn during the summers of 2005, 2005 and 2010, when he worked as a dorm advisor and coach for the Penn Fencing Camp. Working the camp, he assisted coaching in training and conditioning for all three weapons. In 2010, he taught Epee with group and individual instruction for over 20 students.
LeMaster began his coaching career at the Ft Myers Fencing Club in 1999. Prior to coaching, LeMaster served in the Navy, and following his honorable discharge worked as a technician and manager with one of the nations leading installers of home and business automation.

For me this may well be the perfect library space. Colourful and relaxed with plenty of visual interest. I love the way the brightness of the chartreuse plates make your eye move around the space and the central photo above the mantel brings all the colours together. I think I also spot a stack of Hermes boxes too!

(PRBuzz.com) January 25, 2013 -- Have you ever wanted to visit the beautiful, exotic country of Vietnam, but didn't want to go on an official tour?
The guided tour has its advantages, but having a self guided tour where you can go at your own pace and choose the destinations you want to see is a far better way of visiting Vietnam. All this is possible with Your Vietnam Tour Guide.
Your Vietnam Tour Guide is a website that provides you with all the information you need to go on your own self guided tour. The rich, beautiful history of Vietnam mixes the modern sights and sounds of the cities with the beautiful, diverse countryside of beaches, mountains and beautiful tropical forests.
Instead of choosing a standard guided tour where the locations are picked in advance and you have to travel at someone else's pace, the Your Vietnam Tour Guide provides all the information you need to plan a wonderful tour of the sights you want to see at the pace you want to go.
What to See in Vietnam
From the lush, tropical forests to the sunny beaches, Vietnam is a traveler's paradise with plenty to see and do. There are diverse cultures in Vietnam with the Khmer influenced people around the Mekong Delta to the wonder of the mountain tribes in the north that wear colorful costumes. One thing that all Vietnamese people share is their friendly, open greetings to all visitors.
What Your Vietnam Tour Guide Website Can Do for You
The Your Vietnam Tour Guide website offers everything you need from suggested places to visit, planning your trip and even providing valuable advice from the founder, Dwight Zimpel whose vast travel experiences in Vietnam provide a rare insight into selecting the best places for you to see and setting a budget that is very friendly on the pocketbook.
Dwight launched the Your Vietnam Tour Guide site in 2006 and has offered his sage advice for hundreds of people who have travelled to Vietnam. Provided on the website is all you need to create a wonderful vacation for your own self guided tour.
However, if you are interested in travelling with a group, the Your Vietnam Tour Guide site can help there as well. The Private Vietnam Tour Guide link will connect you with others who also want to travel together in seeing the sights of Vietnam.
The Budget Vietnam Tour
Perhaps the greatest advantage provided by the Vietnam self-tour package is going on the cheap, while enjoying all the scenery and wonder that is Vietnam.
While many modern advances have come to this Southeast Asian country, they still feature bargain prices for hotels, cruises, restaurants and much more. For example, if you are travelling alone or with someone, you can stay at a quality family hotel in Saigon for as little as $10 to $15 per night. Eat a glorious seafood dinner in Nha Trang for less than $5.
You can even book a single night cruise on Halong Bay for only $75. These amazingly low prices are part of the reason Vietnam is quickly becoming a traveler's paradise not only for the sights, but for the pocketbook as well.
Here is your chance to create your own self guided tour to one of the most fascinating countries in the world. Take charge of your vacation by visiting the Your Vietnam Tour Guide site and see the wonders that Vietnam has to offer all on the cheap.

RELIGION > MY RELIGION > SECTION THREE : I RESPECT ALL RELIGIONS > Islam
13. Islam
I do regard Islam to be a religion of peace in the same sense as Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism are. No doubt there are differences in degree, but the object of these religions is peace. I have given my opinion that the followers of Islam are too free with the sword. But that is not due to the teaching of the Koran. This is due, in my opinion, to the environment in which Islam was born. ChriŁstianity has a bloody record against it not because Jesus was found wanting, but because the environment in which it spread was not responsive to his lofty teaching.

Seattle - University of Washington rower Anna Mickelson (Bellevue, Wash./Newport) stroked the U.S. women's four without coxswain to a gold medal at the Nation's Cup Regatta Under-23 National Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark Sunday.
The United States crew, which led from start to finish, covered the covered the 2,000-meter course in a time of 7 minutes, 18.54 seconds to win the gold medal. Germany crossed at 7:27.26 for the silver and Romania took the bronze in 7:32.17.
Mickelson, who rows in the four-seat in the UW eight, recently completed her sophomore year Washington and was a member of the top-ranked Husky women's varsity eight. The crew finished second at the NCAA Championships in May, suffering its only loss of the season at the year-end regatta. The crew followed that with its first-ever trip to the Henley Royal Regatta, where the Huskies won the inaugural women's open eight, claiming the Henley Prize.
Current and former Husky rowers and coaches are representing Washington around the world this summer. Head men's coach Bob Ernst will work for the Australian Olympic Committee as the course announcer at the rowing venue. Novice women's coach Eleanor McElvaine is head coach of the Junior National Team that will compete at the Junior World Championships in Zagreb, Croatia, Aug. 1-6. Katie Maloney (UW '96) is a member of the U.S. women's eight-oared crew that will compete in the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, Sept. 16-24. Dave Calder, a three-year letterwinner on the Husky men's team who returns for his senior season next year, will compete in Sydney as a member of the Canadian men's eight.

When Ford Sync Doesn't Work, Say 'Operator'
Ford Motor Co. is testing out a system under which customers using its Sync driver-interface system can get help from a live operator. The car maker is offering the service, called Operator Assist on a trial basis to customers who have signed up for Sync Services.
The system, which sounds a lot like General Motors Co.'s long-running OnStar service, gives drivers the option of asking for assistance from a live operator when they have difficulty navigating the Sync system or when the car doesn't readily recognize their voice commands. The offer of live help seems to add fuel to the argument that after years of development voice-recognition systems for cars aren't necessarily ready for prime time.
Sync Services is a voice-activated system that gives drivers access to information including traffic, news, sports, weather, horoscopes, stock quotes, and movie listings as well as performing business searches and giving turn-by-turn directions.
Operator Assist is available for the directions and business search functions of Sync Services. Ford says 70% of all Sync Services calls are for business searches and directions.
The Operator Assist test announcement follows a number of reports about difficulties for drivers trying to use Sync. In a recent J.D. Power and Associates study of initial quality, Ford's score fell dramatically due in large part to complaints about Sync and other electronic systems meant to make driving easier and less distracting.

Seventy-three students from Finger Lakes Community College were inducted into Phi Theta Kappa, the international honor society of the two-year college, on Oct. 10.
Phi Theta Kappa officers Elizabeth Pfaff, president; Ellen Martin, vice-president; Theodore Aguglia, secretary; and Maria Zeh, public relations secretary, conducted the ceremony.
Joseph Nairn, executive assistant to the president, delivered the keynote address, and alumnus William Bendschneider '91 gave a motivational speech urging the new inductees to take advantage of the opportunities Phi Theta Kappa offers. Co-advisor Doug Albert, assistant professor of computing sciences, was made an honorary member for his service and dedication to the organization.
Phi Theta Kappa's hallmarks are scholarship, leadership, service and fellowship. FLCC's chapter, Alpha Epsilon Chi, was chartered in 1981 and provides leadership opportunities for members. Membership requires completion of 15 hours of associate degree course work and a GPA of 3.5. Service projects long associated with the FLCC chapter include the holiday angel tree, Relay for Life, sustainability and recycling and Adopt-a-Highway. Phi Theta Kappa students also serve as campus ambassadors.

It's so simple, yet so effective. The Wine Time hook ($10) from Jimmy Hook takes about 2.4 seconds to stick to the wall of your tub or shower and stays put until you're ready to remove it. Of course, you won't wanna remove it because it gives you a good reason to soak in the tub with a glass of wine as often as you can. And not to sound like a bunch of lushes over here, but we may periodically check the Jimmy Hook website in case they come up with a way to adhere an entire bottle of wine to a bathroom wall.

Australian singer-songwriter Sia premiered her highly-anticipated single "Chandelier" on Sunday. Known mostly for the hits she has written for other artists, Sia clearly saves the best one for herself with this massive pop track.
Sia has been working the music circuit since dropping a debut album in 1997 but she recently rose to global prominence by penning songs for big artists like David Guetta, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Lea Michele and countless others. She signed with RCA Records last year to release her next album. "Chandelier" serves as her debut single with the label.
"Chandelier" opens with a hip-hop drum machine and Sia musing about the party life. The song truly finds its wings on the mighty chorus when big beats set in and her elastic voice soars. "I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier," she sings with an unrestrained rawness. Sia makes you hang onto her every word as she enunciates the hell out of them, proving no one can do Sia quite like the singer herself. With "Chandelier," Sia supplies a dark party anthem full of powerful lyricism and out-of-this-world vocals.
"Chandelier" is now available on iTunes. Sia's debut album with RCA Records is set to be released later this year.

Cruising The Events Registry
By user9148476 on Nov 21, 2007
Assuming you've downloaded and unpacked the Events Registry, the first thing I'd expect folks to try is the web-based front end. To launch, we use the tools/bin/erapache script:
% tools/bin/erapache 9898 Running apache on port 9898. Error log, lock files, etc. will be in /tmp/erapache.9898 Apached started, pid 1818The registry download comes with everything you need to run a self-contained Apache web server on the port you designate. So the interface is OK. You can poke around the events and articles. A portion of the message codes in the AMD dictionary is at right. But, unless you're digging into the depths of an ereport and want the gory details on each payload member, you'll probably get bored pretty quick.
Turning to the command line tools, ermsg is an interesting gem. As the documentation states in docs/ermsg.html, this tool displays event registry messages - the message codes, articles, and so forth. It's got several options that make it very handy for carving up the registry. Running without arguments lists all of the dictionaries (the top level collections of message codes and knowledge articles) in the registry:
% tools/bin/ermsg Dictionaries: AMD DISK FMD GMCA INTEL IOXSCF NXGE ...Run the tool against a specific dictionary, and you'll get a list of all the possible FMA message codes that can result:
% tools/bin/ermsg -d DISK ermsg: workspace "/export/home/XXX/sun/fm/event-reg/tools/bin/../.." ermsg: namespace "FMA" Dictionary: DISK has 3 entries Dictionary Entry No. ID DISK 0 DISK-8000-0X DISK 1 DISK-8000-12 DISK 2 DISK-8000-2JNow this starts to get interesting. By mining the event registry with ermsg, you can pull out any message code FMA might ever emit. And furthermore, you can glean the severity level of the event as well:
% tools/bin/ermsg DISK-8000-0X Dictionary Entry No. ID DISK 0 DISK-8000-0X Properties: keys: fault.io.disk.predictive-failure type: fault severity: majorUsing this information, a quick and dirty monitoring script can be written to notify me of any FMA diagnoses deemed of interest. The following can be used to get an event code to severity table:
#!/bin/sh ERMSG="tools/bin/ermsg" for dict in `$ERMSG | grep -v Dictionaries`; do for code in `$ERMSG -d $dict | grep -v Dictionary | grep -v ermsg | \\ awk '{print $3}'`; do SEV=`$ERMSG $code 2>/dev/null | grep severity | \\ awk '{print $2}' | tr [A-Z] [a-z]` echo "$code\\t$SEV" done doneWith the resulting table, you can easily pick out 'critical' events. Or 'major'. Wrap your list of events around a periodic fmdump command, and notifications can be sent when one of those events occurs. Poor man's monitoring.
Of course, it'd be better to leverage snmp-trapgen agent that's snapped into FMD. There's a good blog on that here. It's a better overall management framework, and you don't need to be concerned with periodically updating your event registry copy to pick up new message codes. But in a pinch, or if you're just trying out OpenSolaris in your shop, this may do.
Lastly a request: you can help improve the content. If the details of an article are vague or incomplete (and yes, some are), Localization to languages beyond English would be nice.

"It's very difficult to determine what is innate cancer risk, and what is cancer risk that results from whatever diseases or exposures you may have had, as well as the role of these medications," Dr. Onel says. "The fundamental problem is these cancers are rare events so it is hard to make absolute statements."
Dr. Beukelman's study "indicates the disease is causing most of the increased risk, with the caveat that his numbers are really too small and the follow-up period too short to say conclusively that the drugs are not adding risk on top of the disease," says Dr. Onel. He would like to see studies of children treated with the other, newer types of biologics in addition to TNF inhibitors.
Dr. Onel also points out that the data shows increased risk of cancer due to JIA alone, even for children whose disease severity does not mandate treatment with disease modifying agents or biologic therapies.
"But is this something that a parent should lose sleep over?" asks Dr. Onel. "I would argue no. While the likelihood of cancer is higher, it is still such an uncommon occurrence."
Says Dr. Beukelman: "The more we study, the more evidence we find that uncontrolled inflammation increases risk of infections, risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. That is likely true for children as well. Getting JIA under proper control might benefit not only the joints, but also decrease the risk of cancer."
Shaping the Future of Treatment
Studies that analyze large databases of patient treatment and outcome, like Dr. Beukelman's, are critical as researchers strive to untangle the risks of JIA from the risks of the drugs used to treat it, and determine the best course of treatment for young patients.
Dr. Beukelman's team relied on Medicaid records. Pediatric rheumatologists have also been building a large, detailed database of childhood arthritis cases through an Arthritis Foundation-supported project in collaboration with the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance, or CARRA.
"The CARRA network is so important for obtaining good data," says Dr. Onel, "because it … ensures that patients are followed long enough so that we can really know what happens to them." Parents of children with JIA who are interested in participating in the database, should talk to their rheumatologist or pediatric rheumatologist. Physicians register their patients and input the data, after receiving each parent's consent to participate.
