Mindy Tatera, MD, is an internal medicine specialist at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: I have been doing research on ulcers, but I still don't understand something. What is the difference between peptic, duodenal and gastric ulcers or are they the same?
Answer: Peptic ulcers refer to sores in the gastrointestinal tract caused by gastric (stomach) acid. Ulcers occur when the acid and pepsin (an enzyme which is secreted by the stomach lining) break the defenses and "eat" away at the lining of the stomach and duodenum. The involvement of pepsin has led to the general description of ulcers as "peptic".
Both gastric and duodenal ulcers are usually peptic ulcers (meaning they are caused by stomach acid). A gastric ulcer means that the ulcer is in the stomach lining, while duodenal ulcer means that the ulcer is in the lining of the duodenum, which is the upper part of the small intestine. Duodenal ulcers are the more common type. Ulcers can affect all ages.
There are some other types of ulcers that are not peptic ulcers (not caused by stomach acid), but they are rare. These include ulcers caused by diseases such as cancer, Crohn's disease or Bechet's disease.
The most common symptom of peptic ulcers is pain or a burning sensation in the upper abdomen, or sometimes, the lower chest. The pain usually comes and goes. Other symptoms include bloating, nausea, and vomiting. Food may either worsen or relieve the pain, the latter being more common in duodenal ulcers.
Most peptic ulcers are caused by infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. The frequency of infection is higher in duodenal ulcers. Helicobacter pylori produces substances that weaken the stomach lining's protective mucus. If a peptic ulcer is found, the infection is treated with antibiotics. Use of anti-inflammatory drugs (such as aspirin and ibuprofen) is another important cause of peptic ulcers. Risk factors also include smoking, heavy alcohol use and stress. Other medications used in the treatment of ulcers include acid reducers and those that cover and protect the ulcer site. Evaluation by a trained health care professional is necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Tarrant Co., Dist., #7,
Page #1.
James W. Mathis, 65, was born Feb. 1, 1873 at Logan Co., Ark. His father migrated from Ark, [??] Co., Texas, in the year of 1885. He settled on a tract of land located [60?] miles N. of Austin, adjacent to the Colorado River. The tract of land belonged to John [Sherly?], grandfather of James, who conducted a cattle ranch.
William Mathis and John Sherly became partners in the operation of the Sherly cattle ranch. James Mathis then 12 years old, immediately went to work as a cowboy, which work he followed until 1898. He then quit the range to engage in farming and moved to Tarrant Co., Texas, settling on a tract of land located at Diamond Hill, now a part of the city of Fort Worth.
His story of range life follows:
"I was born in the State of Ark, Feb. 1, 1173. My father was a farmer and he cultivated land located in Logan Co. Father sold his Logan Co, farm in 1885, and started for Burnet Co, Texas, with his family and household goods loaded in a covered wagon. The outfit was pulled by a team of oxen, so we had plenty of time to view the country as we passed through it.
"When we arrived at the Washita River in the Indian Territory (now Okla.) my brother became very sick and the boy's condition caused my father to change his plans. Father decided to travel the remainder of the way by train and he sold his oxen and wagon to a party at the river crossing. The sale deal called for the buyer to deliver the family and our personal goods to Clarksville, Texas, which was done and there we boarded a train for Austin.
"The ride from Clarksville to Austin was enjoyed by all of us, more than usual, because of our wagon and ox team trip.
"The distance from Austin is around 60 miles and it took that train [seven?] hours to make the run. Yes, sir, it was seven o'clock in the morning when got aboard that [narrow-gage?] railroad train, and we lit in Burnet at two o'clock in the evening. There was no rock, washout, or [broken?] track. the only interference that the train encountered was an occasional bunch of cattle [or?] sheep which were on the track and had to be chased off. Outside of stopping so the train crew could chase the critters off of the track, that train proceded steadily, except to [taken on?] fuel, [Discharge?] passengers and such other routine work as is usually done.
"Along about at half way father began to worry about our fare. there were four of us children all entitled to half fare because of our ages. While discussing the speed of the train with mother, father said to her, 'I wouldn't be surprised if we are called upon to pay full fare for these children, because they all will be over 12 years old by the time we arrive at Burnet. The conductor questioned my age when he took up the tickets, and I was a triffle large for my age, but father told the conductor that '[??] may be over the half fare limit now, [???] fault of mine, the child was under the limit when we got on the train.
"We had been traveling for about an hour or so when the train stopped and we were in the open country with not a house in sight. After the train was again on its way, and the conductor came through the coach, father inquired of him why the train stopped. The conductor said, 'a bunch of critters were on the track and the fireman had to chase those animals off to prevent running into the lot'. In about 30 minutes after the train started it stopped again and when the conductor came through father again asked him about the cause of the stop. The conductor said:
"'It's the same trouble, cattle on the track again'".
"'Impossible! replied my father. 'This train couldn't have caught up with those critters so quick'".
"Every hour, while running that 60 miles, the train stopped once or twice while the train crew chased critters off of the track. Looking out of the train's windows, all that one could see was herds of critters.
"We were headed for the cattle ranch belonging to my
"Mother said to father, while on the train and looking at the herds of cattle through the window: "'we can be sure of one item of food and that is milk. "When we arrived at grandfather's place mother couldn't find one drop of milk or a speck of butter anywhere about the ranch nor a cow that was being milked. Mother couldn't understand how folks would go without milk and butter while surrounded with thousands of cows. She asked grandfather about the milk matter he told her that it was disrespectful for a cowhand to milk a cow and none of his men would lower their dignity to such extent. However, it was considered fitting for a woman to do milking and that she could do all the milking that she wished to. Father cut out a couple young mother cows and we had plenty of milk, cream and butter in a short spell of time. It took a week before father could gentle the animals to stand for being milked.
"The Sherly ranch was located in the section of Burnet Co. touching the Colorado River. The North end of the ranch was where the Colorado River Dam is now builded. There were around [200?] head grazing on an open range that later was fenced.
The Sherly ranch [heradquarters?] had a small tract of land adjacent to it that was cultivated and fenced against the cattle. On the tract of land vegetables, wheat and corn was raised for family use. The meat supply was at hand on all sides and a fat yearling was butchered when a supply of beef was needed. In additon to beef, we had an abundance of wild game that could
I was old enough to work when we settled in Burnet Co, consequently, I started at once to learn the cowhand's jobs. First, I had to learn how to ride a hoss and that did not take long. Inside of a month I was pert enough at riding to handle an ordinary hoss. I learned to handle a rope while getting my riding knowledge and at the end of a month's time I took my part as a hand on the range.
"Except during the roundup, we lived at the ranch house. We waddies would be in the headquarters every night, but our work took us during the day for quite a piece, at times, and then the boys would carry snack for our noon lunch. We rode over the range keeping our eye peeled for bogged and injured critters. When we came upon a bogged animal, we would put the loop on the critter and the hoss did the rest, by pulling with the rope tied to the saddle horn. Screw worms were another thing we had to watch for. Worm would often get into cuts that the critters received and we had a salve concoction that us waddies applied to the cut which killed the worms.
"When a bunch of critters were wanted for the market we would cut those out and hold that herd until [delievered?], and with such herds was the only night riding we did. What I have [chined?] about the work was the regular routine the year round, except the spring roundup.
"During the spring roundup all the outfits ranging in that section would unite their crews and work the range together.
"The crew which did the gathering took a section of the range at a time and hunted out all the critters, drove the those to a centeral point during the day and then at the end of of the day's work drove the herd into the branding camp. At the camp the herd was turned over to riders that rode the line holding the critters until the herd was cut and branded, after which the animals were turned loose to run the range again.
"The cutting crew had mostly calves to deal with, but occasionally a maverick would be found. The cutters were mounted on the top hosses that were in the [remuda?] and would change mounts about each hour. The cutters would ride into the herd looking for unbranded critters and those found would be cut out, roped, hogtied and then branded with the critter's proper brand. The mother cow always gave the cue to the brandmen as to what brand to burn on the calf. When a cutter [looped?] a calf it would start [bawling?] and its mother then would come a-running to it. What ever kind of a brand the mother carried would be the brand burnt on the calf. It always has been a wonder to me how a mother cow could tell the bawl of its calf out of the hundreds
"Among the outfits that took part in the roundups with John Sherly were Jim Beaman, John Croft and several small outfits that came and went so gave a different lineup each year. Sherly and Beaman united their chuck wagon outfits and did the cooking for the whole outfit at the roundups.
"It took between 30 and 60 days to cover the whole range section and during that spell we did our sleeping rolled up in a blanket and if it rained we threw a slicker over the blanket.
"When the weather was pretty we all spent enjoyable hours around the camp fire before doing our blanket roll. Of course there was night riding to do, but only four to six men did riding at a time and riding crews were changed every four hours. Night riding was necessary at the roundups, because the herd had to be held until the cutting and branding was done.
"Outside of the waddies riding the line, all of the waddies could engage in some kind of pass-time, before [rilling?] in for the night's shut-eye. Some of the waddies would play poker, some would tell stories and some would be sitting around a fiddler listening to [catgut?] agitation, and perhaps to sing to the fiddlers accompaiment.
"My father was an agitator of the [catgut?] and he always had an audience. I have forgotten nearly all the words of the songs them waddies sang. I'll try and give the words of one song that was often sang.
"As I was a walking one morning for pleasure,
I spied a cowbuncher riding along.
His hat was thrown back and his spurs was
a-jinglin'. as he aproached he was singing
this song.
[Whoopee, ty yi yo?] get along little dogie.
Sing 'er out my bold coyotes, lether fists
and leather throats. Tell the stars the
way we rubbed the haughty dawn.
We'er the fiercest wolves a howling and it's
just our night for prowling.
[??] a-riding up the rocky trail from town"
"What interested me was the story telling. Now, when them waddies were all bunched together and started to telling about their experiences, cattle were herded from the Rio Grande to the Canadian boarder, stampedes were handled in hurricanes, ferocious beast were roped and hogtied single handed and wild stalions, of extreme beauty, were busted and genteled to household pets.
"If a fellow wanted to become educated in the cow business, all that was necessary for him to do was to sit and listen to them old rawhides rattle off hot air.
I shall repeat a story that I still can recall that was told, which will give one an idea of the stories of experiences which were told at the camp. The story was told by an old waddie who had [worked?] in all section of the cattle country, and here it is:
"'One spell I spent a couple of weeks in Amarillo, after working the roundup for the 'T Diamond' outfit. It was back in the days when Amarillo's business places were mostly pizen jionts, gambling joits and [?]-pens.
'There was one pizen joint that run a louse nest in connection with its bar and the place bunked you in those nest
"'At the end of the second week, one night, I rolled into the nest for a spell of rest. I awoke after being asleep for some time and heard the knob of my door moving. I squinted at the door and saw it slowly opening. It opend fully and then I saw standing on the threshold a human dressed in the garb of a woman. However, by its looks I couldn't tell for sure that it was a human. The hags face had no nose, her face was simular in shape to those of a rat's and I couldn't see a mouth, where the mouth ought to be at, and her eyes glistened like two pieces of glass.
"'Not a sound did the hag utter, she just stood gazing at me. It had me plum loco, but I finally yelled, 'get to hell out of here, and do it pronto".
"'The door then began to slowly move to and closed without any noise.
"'Now, you waddies know that a short visit by such a person is too long and more visits than one is too many, so I got out of bed and bolted the door and calculated that I had forgotten to attend to that chore when I rolled into the nest.
"'I had a bottle of stimulating pizen and quaffed a shot of it to settle me nevers, then crawled into the nest for some shut-eye.
"'That shot of pizen got to doing its duty and I was feeling quite pert, when again I heard the knob of the door moving and the door slowly opened. By God! there stood the caller
"'It came into my conk to go down to the bar, then the idea of meeting the hag in the dark put leaving the room out of my head. I hit the pizen again to settle my nerves. It was a chilly night, but drops of sweat were standing all over me. I tried to figure my proper move, but couldn't see any way out except to wait for daylight, so there I sit with the bottle of pizen for company and consolation.
"'I received two more calls and each were a repetition of the others. At the first break of day I left the room for the bar. The prop' was there and I told him what kind of a place I calculated he was running. The prop' sez to me, he sez, 'fellow the place is in top shape. Now, here is the layout. A pizen salesman dropped in here a short spell back and sold me a barrel of pizen, guaranting it to be of good taste and flavor. The price was half that which I usually pay so I took a chance on the stuff. There is only one way I can test liquor and that is by having some one drink it. I used you for the test and I reckon the pizen is alright, because it took two week for it to put you loco.'"
"The cattle rustlers caused aditional work for the waddies. There was a spell of time when rustling was real troublesome in
"There was many fights between the rustlers and [?], and many men were hung up to dry [?] branded for the eternal range. There was an organization formed by the [?] element that was called the vigilants and when a party was known to be a rustler, a notice to leave the country would be delievered to the such person. If the pary ignored the notice then the vigilants would make a call. [???], Dave [?] had a brother who received a notice from the vigilants to which he paid no mind. The day after the time set for him to leave, as set up in the notice, his hoss came home without its rider and the saddle was covered with blood. A short time after this incident Dave received a notice demanding that he leave the country in three days. [?] read the notice [?] said; 'The varments 'llows me three days to drag out o'here, but I'll give 'em back two and half days[?] and he did by getting out pronto.
"The Texas Rangers came into the section and did a clean up job, after that things became more orderly.
"The Indian trouble was about over with when we lit in the country. There was only one raid which took place after we arrived there. A family living at the Pack Saddle Mountain district were wipped out. The family's name was Whitlock or Woodlock, I can't recall which of the two names is correct.
"After Sherly completed his range fence, We had only one run in with the rustlers during my stay there.
"I left Burnet Co. in [1898?] and came to Tarrant Co. I settled at Diamond Hill, that is now a part of the city of Fort [Worth?], and I farmed a tract of land there. There was not much farming around Fort Worth at that time. Just here and there a farm settler could be found. Most of the territory around the town was a cattle range. The territory [?] at Diamond Hill and extending N. to [Sagnaw?] was then the Daggett ranch.
"My last work as a cowhand was dragging to Parker Co. with a small crew, and driving a herd of cattle to Frank's ranch which was located East of Fort Worth. That was in 1899, and from then on I devoted my life to farming.

Huawei Ascend P1 S with Android Ice Cream Sandwich debuts as the world's thinnest smartphone
Forget about the Motorola Razr or other Android handsets that were announced as being "world's thinnest", because there's a new king in town: the Huawei Ascend P1 S, which is only 6.68mm thin.
The Ascend P1 S runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and features a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED Gorilla Glass screen with 960 x 540 pixels, 1.5GHz TI OMAP 4460 dual-core processor, penta-band HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, 8MP backside illuminated rear camera with 1080p video recording, 1.3MP front-facing camera, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of ROM, PPVD back cover, and a 1670 mAh battery.
Update: in fact, the world's thinnest Android smartphone is the Fujitsu ARROWS ES IS12F (only 6.6mm). However, the ARROWS ES IS12F is a Japan-only product, while Huawei's device will be available globally.
The Ascend P1 S will be joined by the Ascend P1, which has the same features but is 7.69mm thin, and comes with a 1800 mAh battery.
Both the Huawei Ascend P1 S and Ascend P1 should be available starting the second quarter of the year in North America, Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East. The handsets will have several color versions (including black, white and cherry-blossom pink). Their prices haven't been unveiled.
All in all, this is a big announcement from Huawei, which certainly takes its Android business seriously. It remains to be seen if any major US carrier will be interested in selling the ultra-thin Ascend P1 S.

This morning started like any other Monday morning. I sipped the last of my coffee before leaving for work, and quickly checked my Facebook feed. That's when I saw a news article on the death of Gwar frontman, Dave Brockie, a.k.a. Oderus Urungus.
I, like so many others, went into shock.
I'm not going to lie and say that Gwar is my favorite band, but they are a part of my life.
Living up in Richmond, Virginia in the mid 1980's, Gwar was a thing. An incredibly crazy, creative, and at times shocking, thing. I never saw them live in the early days, but there was a definite buzz going on about them and their show. Everybody knew who they were, even those of us that hadn't seen them perform.
Years later, when living in California, I remember seeing them on MTV and being blown away. I saw what the hype was all about and it was pretty damn cool. It was also icing on the cake that they were from a city that I considered my "second home." I was thrilled that they and Richmond were on the map. It would still be many years until I saw them live.
Fast forward a couple dozen years to the Fall of 2013. I was about to have a milestone birthday and wanted to do something different. Something that I would remember. When I saw that Gwar was coming to The Norva on my birthday eve, November 2, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
It was then that I got in touch with a local publication to see if they were interested in my shooting the show. They said yes. I went, shot, and had an incredible time. I left The Norva thinking that Dave and everyone involved with the show had given me an amazing birthday present, one that I would never forget.
It's with a heavy heart that I give my sincerest condolences to Dave's family, friends, bandmates and their fans.

CROWLEY — St. Baldrick's Foundation is a childhood cancer charity, whose donations help to fund research hoping to find a cure for children with cancer.
On Tuesday, 13 employees of the Crowley County Correctional Facility (CCCF) signed up to participate and do their part in raising money for St. Baldrick's.
The employees, eight of whom were women, shaved their heads to show support of the many children who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments. They raise money by collecting donations from friends, family and co-workers. As of Tuesday they had raised $2,862.
"Our goal was $1,000 so we are very pleased to have raised almost $3,000," said Marty Fleischacker, Principal of CCCF.
The barber and corrections officer, Greg Gauna, was busy grooming those who participated, two of the men, Tony Ragozzine and John Palomino, had their legs shaved for a $40 donation from Fowler Tribune reporter, Andrea Flores.
Two of the women employees, Dara Preston and Lucy Ragozzine donated their hair to Locks of Love. Preston also had her head shaved.
The camaraderie was evident as co-workers watched and applauded each one of the participants.
"This means so much to all of us, but for the women who had their heads shaved, it's so much more meaningful," said John Palomino, investigator for CCCF.

I'd rather give that ticket away to Hawkeye fan than see a Jayhawk in Hilton.
"I watch the Cyclone players and they look like guys who grew up fighting for everything they got, on and off the court. In a word, men. I look at the Iowa players and I assume when they were kids they played soccer in leagues that didn't keep score to avoid hurting anyone's feelings. There is not one single leader on this team. It's a group of high school friends playing a pickup game at the YMCA and maybe they will keep score, maybe not, because they are just happy to be there."

What the slug had eaten for dinner
Several days ago one night, following an afternoon rain, I went out into the backyard to check out the creatures. While the isopods were loitering in the bird bath, this small Arion subfuscus was crawling on a rock covered with green algae (cyanobacteria). Was the slug eating the algae? There was only one way to find out.
I brought the slug in and placed it in an empty plastic container with plenty of water to make sure it wasn't going to dry up, but, without anything to eat. About 24 hours later, there was plenty of slug poop in the box. I removed the poop and returned the slug to the backyard.
So what had the slug eaten for dinner? Its feces teased apart in a little drop of glycerol provided a partial answer. One needs to be a botanist and turn this into a major research project before every bit of matter in a slug's feces can be identified. I will do my best.
The above picture is an overall view of a part of the sample. As is typical with these slugs, this one had eaten a lot of different things, including both live (green) and dead (brown) matter. The long, brown twisted string-like material (arrow) is probably what is referred to as the liver string in the literature1. They are present in almost every fecal sample from slugs. When teased apart, liver strings do not yield anything identifiable, because, unlike the rest of the material, they are more or less amorphous and homogenous.
The four "large" objects in this picture are pollen (they are actually about 66 µm long). I can't tell which plant they came from. The much smaller and abundant brown things (red arrows) are probably fungal spores.
Here are 2 close-up shots of what were live plants before they were eaten. The fragment on the left appears to be a piece from a leaf.
If the slug had eaten algae from the rock it was on, what would they look like in its feces? To help me answer that question, I scraped some algae off the rock and examined them under the microscope. Fortunately, the cells of cyanobacteria are easily distinguishable from plant remains, because the former are spherical. The picture below shows one such cell (diameter: ~16 µm) from the rock sample.
There were many similar looking cells in the feces of the slug. Compare them with the plant material in the picture above where the fragments have more irregular shapes. Also visible in these photos what appeared to be fungal hyphae. These slugs indeed feed on whatever comes their way, even dead earthworms.

Now, keep in mind that this is not given without conditions. If you avail of this promo, the same 4-peso credit will be deducted from your next load. So in effect, Smart is allowing you to borrow 4 pesos without being sure that you will even bother loading up again.
Quite risky if you ask me. But then again, Smart isn't the undisputed leader in prepaid services for nothing. I'm sure the company knows what it's doing.
Smart SOS Promo runs until November 16, 2010.

Elizabeth of Southern Color found this table in the dumpster at her apartments. It had some damage to the top of it but overall it was in good condition.
She and her blogging partner in crime/twin sister Julia turned it into a shabby chic checkerboard table for the guestroom they were making over for a friend. After giving it a couple of coats of creamy white paint, they taped off a checkerboard pattern on the tabletop, they painted it with white so the checkerboard would have a very slight two-tone contrast. The finishing touch? "Checkers" made from corks. Too cute!
You can get all the details on this project at Southern Color.

Scientist, Harvard Center Snub Full Disclosure The New York Times revealed this week that a recent $500,000 Harvard Center for Risk Analysis study downplaying the risks of mercury-laden fish did not disclose that the Tuna Foundation, an arm of the tuna fishing industry, was its primary funder. The original study cited the National Food Processors Association Research Foundation and the Fisheries Scholarship Fund, which are broadbased industry trade groups, as its only funding sources. When asked about the oversight, primary author Joshua T. Cohen said he wasn't trying to hide the tuna industry's role in the study. "It never occurred to me anyone would think National Food Processors Association was less industry than Bumble Bee tuna," he said. The study appeared in the November issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
Graeme Pearson: The Australian James Hansen The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), a national research outfit created by the Australian government, is under fire after being accused of "gagging" their climate change experts. Dr. Graeme Pearson, one of twelve senior climate change scientists who have left CSIRO over the last few years, claims he was "encouraged to resign after he spoke out on global warming." Pearson feels that prominent researchers are pressured to fall in line with federal ideology; Pearson's relationship with CSIRO became further strained when he joined an environmental lobbying group advocating for alternative procedures to reduce greenhouse gases.
FDA Overrules Staff, OKs Unproven Device A Senate Finance Committee report released Thursday questioned the integrity of FDA's approval process after it endorsed an implantable electric shock device for severe depression without scientific evidence demonstrating its safety and effectiveness. More than 20 FDA staff evaluated clinical trials for Cyberonics' Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Therapy System for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and found no benefit over placebo. Yet FDA's Dr. Daniel G. Schultz, director of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, overruled the staff report and approved the device. The report also castigated the agency for failing to inform the public and physicians about "scientific dissent" within the agency over the VNS system's approval.
What Pill Can a Profession Take for This? With the nation focused on the $2 billion spent annually to influence politicians, how about the $20 billion spent each year to influence the nation's 700,000 physicians and buy off their professional organizations? Former New England Journal of Medicine editor Jerome Kassirer reveals that next June's Toronto meeting of the American Psychiatric Association will feature no fewer than 46 symposia sponsored by drug companies that make antidepressants and other psychiatric drugs. These symposia are "special events, usually lectures by leaders in the field, sponsored by drug and device companies and typically held before the official program or in the evening following the day's usual program. Nice snacks and drinks are often served and sometimes dinner also," Kassirer wrote. The Senate Finance Committee is investigating the role of drug industry "educational" grants in influencing physician prescribing patterns.
University of Pittsburgh Report: Schatten "Misbehaved"; Non-Disclosure Ignored The University of Pittsburgh gave a slight rap on the knuckles to Dr. Gerald Schatten for his role in promoting disgraced South Korean researcher Hwang Woo-Suk's stem cell research papers. A university panel that included several Schatten colleagues concluded he was guilty of "research misbehavior" for failing to seek the "approval of the manuscript by all co-authors" or the "veracity of the data reported" while accepting about $50,000 in personal fees from Hwang. While the report faulted Schatten for failing to credit Hwang in a pending patent application, it made no mention of the fact that neither Hwang nor Schatten disclosed to Science and Nature that both scientists had pending patents on the stem cell technologies. Both journals are now reviewing their financial conflicts of interest disclosure policies as part of their overall review of the circumstances that led to publication of the fraudulent papers.

Obesity Hampers Imaging Accuracy
Not only does excess weight raise disease risk, it could also make health problems harder to detect. Scientists wanted to know why the number of inconclusive radiology test results have doubled in the past 15 years — a time when the sophistication of such diagnostic equipment has advanced by leaps and bounds. Well, guess what else has nearly doubled in the past 15 years? America's obesity rate! Increasingly, obesity hampers diagnostic accuracy, not only by expanding the layer of fat tissue that scans must penetrate — but even by barring patients from fitting into the machines at all.
A recent Harvard Medical School study looked at over 5 million radiology reports to see how many were hindered by "body habitus," or physique. For computer tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the obstacle often resides in physical parameters of the equipment, which has compelled manufacturers to modify the design to accommodate patients weighing up to 550 pounds. In the case of ultrasound tests, excess fat inhibits the transmission of the high-frequency sound waves on which the technology relies.
Dr. Jorge Guerra, professor of radiology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, predicts that very soon one-third of patients will weigh 350 pounds or more — a heavy consideration for doctors, medical equipment engineers, and, most importantly, patients themselves. So if you've been treating excess pounds lightly, add diagnostic accuracy to the list of reasons to lose weight, in addition to increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis and cancer.

Lucius' Happy Memory
It was cold. So cold in fact that one could see one's breath puff up into the air with every inhale and exhale. But it wasn't the time of year that caused this bitter cold. Oh no, it couldn't be blamed on something as simple as the weather.
No. It was the constant presence of the Dementors that made Azkaban one of the coldest places on the face of the earth. But it wasn't the natural cold that merely made your nose red and your skin freeze; it was the kind of cold that entered the heart and sucked everything inch of warmth from the soul. It was Hell.
Most people have the very wrong perception that Hell is a place where you burn- all fire and brimstone and a little cloven hoofed devil poking you with a pitchfork in your rear at random intervals for the rest of eternity- but this is a lie. Hell is far crueler than that and all the prisoners of Azkaban knew this, for they lived in the wretched place.
Hell is cold. Hell is the place where you relive your worst thoughts and memories for all time, over and over again until you finally are driven insane and it all starts again. Hell is Azkaban.
In this Hell, the prisoners were kept separated at all times, confined to their singular cells, where they resided day in and day out. The only sounds to be heard in Azkaban were the screams of the prisoners as the Dementors feed on their souls, and the wails of the brokenhearted and dying.
It was a place of boredom and broken dreams, where everyone was lonely.
So lonely in fact, that if death had offered them company, the prisoners would have accepted his offer gratefully. At least with death they would have had someone to talk to as they finally left themselves slip into oblivion.
Such was the life of the prisoners of Azkaban. Such was the life of the damned.
A figure sat on his cot, crying softly into himself. He was a pitiful sight to behold. His once beautiful white blond hair was now a matted, horrific mess, coated with dirt and god knows what else, and his skin was so pale that he could have passed for a corpse.
He had been a man of dignity and purpose, but now he was reduced to nothing. He wasn't even a shell of what he had once been, but even so, he still remembered. He remembered himself as he had been before Azkaban . . . Before he had lost himself. . .
"Draco, what are you doing?"
The small boy of five smiled up at his father, his eyes shining bright despite the lack of light in the room, and held up a small piece of parchment.
"I made this for you," Draco admitted shyly, holding it out to him.
Lucius took the piece of parchment in his hand and studied it for a moment, his light blue eyes searching every inch of the paper.
"What is this, Draco?"
The boy smile grew even bigger as he explained, "It's us! That's mother on the right, me in the middle, and that's you father on the left. Do you see?"
Lucius looked at the picture his son had drawn again, this time knowing what he was looking at. The multicolored magical chalks Draco had used had somewhat made the picture smeared, but after some intent observing, the man could see that the picture was indeed of his small family. The boy had done rather well, or at least, well for his age. And though Lucius wouldn't tell him as much, he was quite impressed by it.
"That's very . . . interesting, Draco."
The boy's face instantly sunk. "Don't you like it?"
Lucius met his child's eyes and he smiled. It was a very rare thing for the man to truly smile, but he did now.
"Yes Draco, I suppose I do 'like' it."
As the little boy smiled Lucius couldn't help but feel proud. His son would do great things one day, of that he was sure.
"Go now Draco, your mother needs you." He said in the stern tone he always used when he wanted to be obeyed.
The little boy ran over to his father and wrapped his arms around his middle, hugging him tight. "Alright," he mumbled from where his face was pressed against his father's robes. "Love you, father."
Lucius felt a single tear leave his eye as he hugged his son to him and heard the simple phrase uttered from the innocent youth.
"I love you to, son," he said calmly, before he pulled Draco an arms-length away. "Now, go. You don't want to keep your mother waiting."
The little boy smiled as he ran off leaving his father alone with the picture he had drawn, not knowing that the second the door closed behind him, Lucius began to cry.
Lucius writhed, crying out in agony as the Dementor sucked at his soul. He fought with every ounce of strength that he possessed to keep the picture of Draco in his mind, but ultimately failed.
Finally after what felt like a lifetime, the Dementor stopped and left him alone in his cell once more.
It had become a daily ritual now for Lucius that a Dementor would come into his cell and feed on him, taking away all of his remaining happiness. And the man feared that soon, there would be nothing happy left for the Dementors to take away from him.
Curling into a ball on his threadbare cot, the man silently cried, praying that one day he would be able to go home.

If you have been harboring any Harry Potter fanfics... PLEASE post them! >_<
I actually have a Snape/OC fic that I stopped writing. It was horrible because it was one of my first fanfics, and my OC was a total Mary Sue.
That's funny I have one too :]
(people keep using the phrase MarySue around me and I'm not quite sure where it came from... I get that it's bad but 0_0 )
(people keep using the phrase MarySue around me and I'm not quite sure where it came from... I get that it's bad but 0_0 )
Mary Sue equals a drop dead gorgeous chick that has special powers and is always good-natured, who has no limits usually. And there can be male Mary Sues too, but I can't remember what they're called. . . Dang! XD
Anyway, it can be a bad thing if you get too carried away with it, which I did. But I don't mind them usually.
And I understand why people have their characters be Mary Sues. It's easy to get attached to a character, so it's only natural that you don't want anything bad to happen to them.

That's like... every character I've ever created :3 so I completely understand. (Well sometimes I'll make them clumsy or lose their tempers but other than that)
Don't worry yourself about it. Every writer has them at one point or another. And I honestly don't see anything wrong with them. I just can't stand it when I write one. XD
I am obsessed with harry potter and let me tell you this is awesome!
Beautifully written, so many feels from the poor man, yet you showed he was still human, I love this one !
Thank you, Luna. I honestly had a lot of feels when I wrote this. . . Poor Lucius. . .
awe wow. feels. I actually feel bad for Lucius despite his nastiness. Though I'd feel bad for anyone going through that kind of torment. He is such a great villain in the series but that doesn't mean he feels any less feels than any other person does and I think you nailed that
You always give me the best comments, I swear. And they always make my day! Thank you so much for that.
And I agree with you. Lucius is a villain but he is also human. I tried to show that in this piece. So I'm glad that I was able to relay the message that I wanted to.
And I agree with you. Lucius is a villain but he is also human. I tried to show that in this piece. So I'm glad that I was able to relay the message that I wanted to.
Your so welcome! I'm glad I could make your day
yea you did a great job! You totally evoked those emotions out of someone who didn't show them much really in the series, yet he was still Lucius.
yea you did a great job! You totally evoked those emotions out of someone who didn't show them much really in the series, yet he was still Lucius.
Wow. It's amazing of the difference in interpretations of lucius. You picture him sad, hopeful that he'll be free but me, he's a twisted man growing more and more insane by the day. Wow
After Lucius came back from Azkaban he seemed changed to me. When Voldemort took his wand, I saw a broken man. Though I agree that Lucius is a hardcore villain who would do anything he wanted, I also believe that something as horrible as Azkaban would change him.
The way Jason Issacs portrayed Lucius in the Seventh movies was what I was going for.
Thank you for commenting, dearie!

Thank you for commenting, dearie!
in my fanfics, lucius claws his way back up to the top, declaring himself the new dark lord. hes responsible for severus death and as a 'prize' he takes possession of his wife
I'll have to read your fanfics! They sound like a blast of awesomeness!
they jump around the timelines a bit. one fic its school time the next its when sevs wife has the twins. its quite fun
That's totally fine. I jump around in my stories too. ^^
*cries* So sad.... but so beautifully written.
*sobs* So....sad.....too....many...feels.....

Known as the daughter of megachurch preacher and notable religious literary giant T.D. Jakes, Sarah Jakes shares her story of redemption in her newly released book "Lost and Found". This afternoon, Sarah sat down with no-nonsense television talk show host Dr. Phil to speak candidly on her journey.
There's this notion that all children that have been born and raised in the church will never stray from their roots. Well, as much as it may be a lovely thought to assume such outcome of every child that has grown up in the church, it is false. The covering of the church and parental authority only goes so far. At whatever age a child becomes cognizant of the concept of wrong and right, they are responsible for their own actions regardless of upbringing. Sarah Jakes shares her testimony before millions on the Dr. Phil Show to dispel that notion.
Pregnant at 13 and having a child at 14 years of age, Sarah Jakes had to learn the hard way the error of her ways. As she expressed to Dr. Phil when her family found out that she was pregnant she had rarely seen her father, T.D. Jakes, speechless. A concerned friend wrote a letter to the patriarch because she was concerned more for the health of the unborn baby than the possible demise of her friendship with Sarah. The experience of being stared at and talked about by church members drove Sarah to make other unwise decisions, including marrying and divorcing someone she had no business being involved with and working as a waitress in a strip joint. After her parents found out about her employment in such a place, they quickly put an end to her two and a half month stint.
Like the Prodigal Son in the Bible (Luke 15:11-32 KLV), Sarah Jakes made a conscious choice to go back to her religious roots. Being restored to her place as daughter of T.D. Jakes, she pinned "Lost and Found: Finding Hope in the Detours of Life" to testify of God's redemptive power and be a witness of His faithfulness, grace and mercy. Her book is not to glorify teen pregnancy and marriage, but bring out the pitfalls that await young people that decide to do things their own way.
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 KLV

Bill Gates - Education for the Real World
Bill Gates says that we don't have enough innovators or great minds to meet the challenges of the future. And the way to draw more people into thinking big and out of the box is to change how we teach students. The founder of Microsoft challenges Stanford University students to take on the world's difficult problems as a focus of their career or life.

Well, it's hard to take Bill seriously in terms of innovation.
If you want to know some people with genuinely interesting ideas I can put you in touch with some I know in Brisbane.
But his foundation does good work. And it is good to challenge uni students to think about doing something worthwhile.

Bill Gates' Microsoft corporation has been one of the biggest impediments to innovation recent decades.
IBM foolishly agreed to use Gates' MS-DOS operating system back in 1980 (even before it was written) in preference to the vastly preferable CP/M operating system. However, in spite of that impediment, at least one other company was able to build on top of MS-DOS a usable Graphical User Interface that was vast better than Microsoft Windows -- I remember seeing it on an Amstrad PC clone I bought in about 1986--- but Microsoft was able to use its weight in the market to squeeze that product out.
It would not have been possible for the Internet to have expanded to more than a fraction of what it did if the Proprietary software business model used to build Microsoft and Bill Gates' fortune had predominated.
What built the Internet was not Micro$oft proprietary software, but Open Source software including Linux and the Free BSD operating systems, the open TCP/IP Internet networking standards. Server computers driven by the Linux and Free BSD Operating Systems also ran the open source Apache webserver program which could deliver interactive HTML pages to any web browser running on any computer connected to the Internet.
If, instead, web-server administrators had been forced to buy expensive proprietary software such as that provided by Microsoft, there is no way that the Internet could have expanded at more than a small fraction of the speed that it eventually did.
The impression, often given by Bill Gates, and his promoters, that the advance in computer technology in recent decades has been helped rather than hindered by his efforts is unfounded.

Bill poses very intersting ideas in this talk. I suggest you have a listen before commenting.

Why is it that industrialists seem to think they have the need to change the education system? Gates is just another modern day Carnegie or Rockefeller. Ever wonder where the work place standard of 2 -15 minute breaks (ie recess) and the "lunchbreak" or "homework" for those who
want to advance came from? The idea of going to "the office" when your in trouble or getting an award for being a good sheep. The school bell summoning worker bee's back to task? This is why Bill wants this, he want's to control the new indoctrination also known as public education.

TC TO JANE BAILLIE WELSH; 30 January 1822; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18220130-TC-JBW-01; CL 2:26-27.
[30 January 1822]
My dear Friend,
I have read your letter over and over; and admired the talent displayed in it not a little. It is very spirited and very satirical and altogether very clever. I have a small, exceeding small vein of satire myself: but there is no need to conjecture whether it would serve to defend me in the present instance: you know well enough I dare not try. It was once reckoned generous, I believe, to "crush the haughty, but spare those who cannot resist":1 however I do not complain. This conflict of sarcasms can hardly gratify or punish any very noble feeling either in you or me; and I am content to have my vanity humbled, since you wish it so.
The tragical humour, into which men fall sometimes, is certainly a very unnatural and ridiculous thing; at least, if one is not born to be a statesman or a soldier,—the only class of persons liable to die or suffer pain in this country: so we shall waive it for the present. I merely wish to say that when you read Schiller's History of the Thirty Years' war, you will like Bernhard von Weimar2 as much as I do. On going forth to fight beside Gustavus the Lion of the North, Bernhard wrote this epigraph on his standard: "Alles für Ruhm und Ihr." And who was She? A great King's daughter, a brave King's wife: and all the poor Ritter [knight] hoped for, was a smile from her fair countenance to greet his triumph, or a tear from her bright eyes to hallow his last and bloody bed. Perhaps it was all he wished.
Upon the whole, my friend, this mode of writing to you pleases me very ill.3 It also forms a most awkward prologue to the main purport of my present letter. In spite of the ridicule which you cast on me, or rather in part because of it, I am coming out to see you shortly. If you were to ask what I am wanting?—I should scarce know what to say. One has few real friends on this Earth; and yet the feelings excited by those few are almost all that make it worth living on. I daresay I am very selfish; but still, if I thought this project of mine would incommode you much, I am not so selfish as to persist in accomplishing it. The truth is, my visit must be brief at any rate, and may not soon be repeated; I know not the times and the seasons, but I do not often mean badly: therefore I have persuaded myself that you will not be angry at this proceeding, even tho' it should prove ill-judged and unsuitable for many reasons. If you intend to meet me with frowns and cold ceremony; to-morrow is yet before us;4 tell me so—and I will stay at home patiently. I have but from Friday-night till Monday morning at my own disposal. If you do not write I shall see you on Friday-night, or Saturday-Morning; if you do, I know not when I may have it in my power to see you again. Those boys are come from London,5 and have kept me busy all this week; some permanent arrangement is to be made with them about the beginning of next— I am not ungrateful I hope or insensible to my own interest; but there are many drawbacks which I will tell you of.—
This is poor suing; I need not continue it. Excuse all my thousand faults: I know their number, and regret their magnitude as well as their number— Mais c'est assez [But this is enough]!
Present my kindest respects to your Mother—if you think it worth while; and believe me to be, with no feelings towards you but those of an honest man and a true-hearted friend, now and always,
Sincerely your's /
Thomas Carlyle—

A fair-haired character actress who maintained a nearly constant presence in American television series and features (making her countenance eminently familiar), Jeanetta Arnette began her career in late-'70s exploitation pictures, such as the 1977 releases Teenage Graffiti and The Class Reunion Massacre. Beginning with a bit part as a party guest in Blake Edwards' midlife-crisis comedy 10 (1979), however, Arnette segued gently into more mainstream efforts. She specialized in playing upbeat, highly energetic women with a professional edge. Early assignments included Rob Cohen's underrated Age of Aquarius period film A Small Circle of Friends (1980), the made-for-television sci-fi opus Brave New World (1980), and Andrew V. McLaglen's telemovie Western The Shadow Riders (1982).
Arnette achieved her broadest fame and recognition for several years in 1986, when she signed on to play Bernadette Meara, the assistant principal of the Monroe High School for teen prodigies, on the popular sitcom Head of the Class (1986-1991) -- a role she carried for the entire run of the series. Subsequent assignments included the Rodney Dangerfield comedy Ladybugs (1992), the gender-bending melodrama Boys Don't Cry (1999), and Lasse Hallström's offbeat romantic drama The Shipping News (2001). In 2007, Arnette tackled a more prominent role in director David Gordon Green's earnest ensemble drama Snow Angels.

Rug arrived UPS even though it was considered oversized and I had been told it would arrive by truck. Easy delivery. Colors were exactly what picture looked like. It's thick and soft. Binding secure. Only flaw is a small pea-sized area well into center of rug where the piling is missing. No way to see this until rug is rolled out and even then it was days before I spotted it. Not a huge deal, but obviously a flaw.
Exactly what I wanted. I am very pleased with the rugs purchased and plan to order a matching runner.
I'd been wanting a rug for my office/den. Because the room is sort of dark, I wanted a light colored rug with a print (the latter because of dogs). I love this rug. It's thick and pretty soft and I think it's a great value. My only complaint, which is a mild one, is that the background is more beige than cream (how it's described on the website). But I really like the rug overall so decided to keep it.
The rug arrived on time and in good condition. It is just as pictured and looks to be of excellent quality. Colors are true to photo and I'm very happy with my experience with Rugs Direct.
We love this rug. The background color is much brighter - a true cream which is lovely. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that it was back ordered for 2 months so didn't have for the holidays. Communication during this time was limited. In fact I was getting ready to call the company when the rug arrived. But all that said I am very pleased with this purchase and very glad we waited.
The rug came timely and it is perfect! It's the third rug I've ordered from this company and it's been great each time.
I had all the flooring replaced in my house and needed something to go over the hardwood in my dinning room. I saw this on sale and the colors were just what I was looking for and the cost was right. It was delivered and it was just what I had seen and just what I wanted. It is thick and beautiful. It is warm and very soft. I could not have been happier with my purchases. LOVE IT!
We like the rug a great deal! Color good, quality very good and little shedding. Yes, we would purchase again!
Very pleased with the purchase. Unfortunately, it was on back order when I first ordered it but it was well worth the wait.
Bought an oval and a runner - the colors are just like the image on the computer and the quality seems to be as I expected. They are plush and the only down side so far is that they shed a bit, but I expect this will dissipate as they are vacuumed more. Good choice.
Good looking rug. Thick pile. Not quite as white as it appeared on my monitor, which is a good thing.
I ordered a rectangular and a runner and they are beautiful; the rugs are thick and the colors are nice. The delivery was much quicker than expected. Overall, a great purchasing experience.
