And WE'RE the Anti-America Crowd?
Just when we all thought that the far right could do nothing more to expose their ignorance and hatred for Obama, we find that the Tea Party has surprised us again! What is so unbelievable is that the Tea Party likes to characterize Obama, Democrats and those of us with Progressive views, as "socialists, anarchists, anti-American scum, bent on the downfall of 'merica."
Last week, Tea Party activist Melissa Brookstone, writing on the Tea Party Nation website, called for a "national strike" by small businesses. And, what is the goal of the strike? To call on Congress to come together and stop bickering? NOOOOO! To demand that Middle Class Americans get help to refinance their "underwater" mortgages? NOOOOO! Ok…how about to stop cutting programs that provide medical services and school lunches to our millions of hungry and uninsured children? HELL, NOOOOOO!
Brookstone's 'strike' calls for America's small businesses to stop all hiring (yes, you read that right: STOP, not START) while Obama and the "Democrats-Socialists" who control the Senate stop leading this country into chaos. Specifically, Brookstone rallied her troops with:
I, an American small business owner, part of the class that produces the vast majority of real, wealth producing jobs in this country, hereby resolve that I will not hire a single person until this war against business and my country is stopped.
I hereby declare that my job creation potential is now ceased. "I'm on strike!"
Well now…that's one way of helping to bring around the demise of capitalism and economic growth in the country. But, considering that there are some wily, cunning and creative (best positives I could come up with) people on the far right, you'd think that they could have come up with something a little more helpful to the cause of capitalism, individual freedom, democracy…and the American way of life!
If I had been in Brookstone's shoes, I would have attacked this problem of "Global Socialist Decay" in an entirely different way. If the Tea Party and the far right REALLY wanted to show Obama and the Democrats/Socialists 'what for', they should have done the following:
1. INVEST in their business by hiring and expanding;
2. INVEST in their business by providing their workers with the benefits that the Government has been forced to provide;
3. INVEST in America by bringing back jobs from overseas and putting their neighbors back to work;
4. INVEST in the message, "We believe in America and the American way of life, so we are going to show those Socialist Pigs the right way to get this country back on track, by hiring, expanding, providing competitive wages and benefits to our employees, which, in turn, will foster loyalty, improve production and make their lives richer and more secure. THAT'S how we'll get back at those anti-American, protesting, living-off-the-dole socialist, commie-pinko-fags!"
Now, call me naive and a hopeless optimist, but wouldn't these actions show the positive sides of laissez-faire capitalism, democracy and the American way of life? My Mom always told my brother and I, "Don't get mad…GET EVEN!" It seems to me that Brookstone is VERY, VERY mad! Unfortunately, the only ones that will have a chance to "get even", with her approach, will be those 'Democrats-Socialists' when election day, 2012, rolls around; people will have seen no improvement in the jobs outlook, thanks to Brookstone's "strike on hiring" and now that she has put such an idea in writing, those same people will be able to point to her philosophy on economic growth and say, with the flick of their finger, "FOUR MORE YEARS…FOUR MORE YEARS!!!"

Now that is the kind of sound I'm looking for. Those drums are so crisp and I love the slinky guitar lead.

New Single: "DRUG DEALER"
I was surprised to see some people not feeling the style of "Business As Usual" as that's one of my favorite songs on the album. Maybe I'm so pumped about it because it's a deviation from Prolyphic's typical delivery (even on the Working Man album.) Also, I think it works really well in the context of the full album. But, yeah, this "Drug Dealer" song is also one of my favorites. We'll be dropping this video very soon.

Will those that pre-ordered be getting the album shipped early (like a week or 2 before release date)? I think I read on the SFR facebook that album will be shipping in a couple weeks and that was last week I read that.

Thanks. I just got a turntable and I'm thinking of adding the Prolyphic & Reanimator - Artist Goes Pop SIGNED 12" to my order. I have the Ugly Truth album of course as I have everything Prolyphic has ever done but I don't have that Salt instrumental and it's so dope and it's only found on this 12". Would I have to pay anything more on top of the price (like extra shipping) if I had it delivered with my order of The Working Man album?
Edit: Listening to Salt now and he's saying "I don't wanna work no more" and his new album is called "The Working Man". lol.
Edit: Funny story about that specific 12". Some years back I went to see Prolyphic live and he wanted to sell me some merch but I told him I already had everything he put out and he was trying to sell me the Artist Goes Pop 12" and I told him that I didn't have a turntable and he had this disappointed look on his face but then he gave me a tee shirt which was dope and I still rock the shirt hard to this day. 5 years later I'm finally buying that 12".
Actually I haven't received the turntable yet. It's on it's way in the mail, should arrive soon. I have some other vinyl coming with it. I'm going to try those out first to see if the player works right before ordering any more new vinyl but if it works right I'll be purchasing that Artist Goes Pop 12".

Hey Nemonic,
If you want to add the 12" to your Working Man pre-sale order, just contact
with your order # and explain that you want to add the 12" to it. However, you may have to pay additional shipping as a vinyl record has to be packaged in its own box. If they can manage to fit the other things you ordered into that same box and keep them safe from damage then maybe some money can be saved. Feel free to copy and paste this text into the email you send.

I'm just going to order it separately. I don't mind the extra shipping and if it comes in a separate package from my Working Man album order if that is the best way to keep both orders safe as I understand the size difference of each order. I'm ordering it now as I've received my turntable and it works fine.

"Twelve Percenters" is a new free bonus cut from Prolyphic & Buddy Peace!
TWELVE PERCENTERS touches upon unemployment woes, the blue collar struggle, and basically acts as the mission statement for Prolyphic & Buddy Peace's "Working Man" LP (www.tinyurl.com/WorkingManSFR). This song is a free offering for the day-to-day survivors living check to check..."because survival's getting expensive."
The song's title is in reference to Rhode Island's 12% unemployment rate which was a national high just a couple years back. Prolyphic uses this driving, atmospheric Buddy Peace beat to display his disillusionment with the downward spiral of our economy while speaking on behalf of the world's working class in all its frustration. Since many of the other tracks on "Working Man" delve into each specific issue that is touched upon in this song, it was decided to remove Twelve Percenters from the album and let it act as a teaser for what people can expect when the LP drops on April 30th.
iTunes pre-sale for the album available at:
Pre-sale PHYSICAL package deals (including signed CDs, stickers, buttons, posters, instrumental version and more) available now at:

Just found a problem going from G41 to G42 .
After two years I'm still coming to terms with G40-42.
Every rapid will now set the path back to G40. A 'A" (angle in) entity will setup the offset set in the following entity.
So closed contours will need the Ramp On from center option in the dialog for offset cutting. "CO" Cut outer parts will have the ramp on turned around automatically.

McCormick, SC--We're just a month away now from one of the top stops on the NGA Golf Tour as the pros will be in McCormick in late April. It's the Savannah Lakes Village Classic.
Today an early way to say thank you at the Monticello golf course. Hard to believe but this is the 11th annual event which most consider as a major on the NGA Tour. From a top purse to a great field and the hospitality the residents give the players. It's a big reason why the event is one of the longest on tour.
"It shows you the longevity, it shows you the job they do here" said Ryan Waters "The course, the quality course and you lose some events over the years from that but as we said you look at the players on the PGA Tour now that have come off this golf course, the first couple of events, Vaughn Taylor and Scott Piercy, both PGA tour champions"
One big change the golfers will find is new greens at Monticello. No longer are they bent grass greens as they've gone to bermuda. May 2nd is the first round of play.

The Systematic Character of the National Socialist Policy for the Extermination of the Jews: Electronic Edition, by Heinz Peter LongerichTable of Contents

|E. The Wannsee Conferenc... >
|H. Conclusions >>
D. Pronouncements by Leading National Socialists on the Exterminations
1.While the regional mass murders were being effected in the autumn of 1941, the pronouncements of leading representatives of the regime which openly addressed the impending "anihilation" of the Jews, were becoming ever more frequent. At Hitler's "Table Talk" of 25 October, after having once again made reference to his "prophesy" of 30 January 1939, he made the following remarks:
This criminal race has the two million dead from the World War on its conscience, now again hundreds of thousands. No one can say to me: we can't send them in the morass! Who then cares about our people? It is good if the terror we are exterminating Jewry goes before us.274
2.In a lead article of the journal "Das Reich" of 16 November 1941, Goebbels returned to the subject of Hitler's prophesy of 30 January 1939 under the title "The Jews are to Blame" ("Die Juden sind schuld"):
We are now experiencing the fulfilment of this prophesy; and Jewry is inspired by a fate which, although hard is still more than deserved. Here compassion or regret is completely amiss.275
3.His formulation, that "World Jewry" is "now" succumbing to "a gradual process of extermination"276, made clear the fate which awaited the Jews who were being deported from the German cities for the past few weeks. Two days later, Rosenberg spoke at a press conference of the Ministry of the Eastern Territories of what was to come - the "eradication"of the Jews of Europe:
There are still about six million Jews in the East and this question can only be solved through a biological eradication of all of Jewry in Europe. The Jewish Question will only be solved for Germany, when the last Jew has left German territory; and for Europe, when there is no longer a Jew left standing on the European continent - up until the Urals [...] And for this it is necessary to push them over the Urals, or otherwise eradicate them.277
4.One day after declaring war on the USA, on 12 December, Hitler held a speech before the district (Gau) and Reich leaders) of the Party. Referring once more to his "prophesy" of 30 January 1939, he announced the "extermination" of Jews under German domination. This can be found in the Goebbels diaries:
As concerns the Jewish question, the Führer is determined to make a clean sweep. He had prophesied to the Jews that if they once again brought about a world war they would experience their own extermination. This was not just an empty phrase. The World War is there, the extermination of Jewry must be the necessary consequence. This question must be seen without sentimentality. We are not here in order to have sympathy with the Jews, rather we sympathise with our own German people. If the German people has now once again sacrificed as many as 160.000 dead in the Eastern campaign, then the authors of this bloody conflict must pay with their lives.278
5.Thus at the end of 1941, leading National Socialists were urging to extend the mass murders started in the occupied areas East and South East for the purpose of a general annihilation of the Jews.

Housatonic-Wamogo football forfeits again
The Housatonic-Wamogo's varsity football game at Windsor Locks scheduled for Saturday has been canceled. Acting athletic director Anne Macneil formally forfeited the Mountaineers' third straight varsity game Tuesday morning with the CIAC.
The program was hit with a slew of injuries in recent weeks and didn't play a varsity or junior varsity game with Lewis Mills two weeks ago. Last week, the Mountaineers played a JV game at Coginchaug. Only 19 players dressed for the game won by Coginchaug, 18-8.
The Mountaineers are scheduled to now play a junior varsity game at Windsor Locks Saturday at 11 a.m. On Nov. 9, Housatonic-Wamogo's varsity game is slated to be at Granby Memorial at 6 p.m. No decision on that game has been made yet and won't be made until early next week, according to Macneil.

I am suddenly having a weird problem.
Some albums, normal mp3 files that is, no different than the other hundred gig-something that always works, just do not want to play on my ps3 through ps3 media server. Now, I could have thought there was something with the files, but meta-data shows absolute no difference from other, working files.
And here is the twist; my xbox 360, which is a nightmare to play music from, works perfectly fine with the exact same files through ps3 media server. The error msg is of course the "datatype not supported" on my ps3.
Can anybody help me out with this, pretty please, sugar and all?

Because of the amount of people we've been seeing coming through .NET lately claiming in some fashion to have "insider info" on various subjects, I felt it was necessary to create a new policy which defines when and how these types of claims will be allowed.
Regardless of where our community comes down on this topic, the fact is that we are viewed as a one-stop shop for seeing what's happening with our team, and we've seen too many times where random people claim to know something or someone and it helps to spread false information. We want to keep our main forum a place for legitimate Seahawks news and talk, not for rumor-mongering from anyone claiming to be in the know.
As always, if a rumor is reported by a legitimate media source, please feel free to create a topic and discuss away. This policy is only to discourage .NET users claiming they know something without any accountability to the validity. We hope to at least provide substance to these claims with this policy.
As such, the following has been added to the official FAQ/Rules section. Please let me know via PM if you have any questions or concerns about this. Thanks.
**Posting information from inside sources**
If you claim a confidential source, prior to posting you must contact Seahawks.NET owner RockHawk and have your source verified. Verification is quick and completely confidential and will not put your source at risk.

Saturday, Feb. 9 • 1 p.m. CT
American Bank Center (8,100) • Corpus Christi, Texas
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team will remain at the American Bank Center to host McNeese State on Homecoming Saturday, Feb. 9 in the second half of Southland Conference action. The Islanders are looking to snap a string of 10 conference losses and bounce back from a 68-39 road loss to the Cowgirls earlier this season. The Islanders are coming off a 68-46 home loss to Lamar on Thursday while McNeese State holds a 7-4 record in Southland Conference action and is tied for third place with Oral Roberts.
Saturday's game will mark the eighth meeting between the two teams. The Cowgirls have the 4-3 series advantage. McNeese State has won the last three out of four contests and enters Saturday's game with a 12-10 record, including a 7-4 record in SLC play while the Islanders are 1-20 and 0-10 in the SLC.
Head Coach Royce Chadwick is in his first year as the Islanders' Head Coach. Chadwick, who spent the previous 11 years at the helm of the Marshall University program, has 562 wins on his collegiate coaching resume. Chadwick is looking for his first SLC victory since winning the SLC title with SFA in 2001.
•Junior Ashley Darley tallied her second straight double-double on Thursday against Lamar. She paced the Islanders with 11 points and matched her career-high with 12 rebounds.
•Jessica Jammer chipped in nine points on Thursday and grabbed six rebounds while Verne'qua Taylor tied a season-high eight assists
•The Islanders outrebounded the Lady Cardinals 45-42.
•Texas A&M - Corpus Christi's first victory of the season came before the holiday break on Dec. 18 vs. Cornell, 52-49. The team snapped a 10-game losing streak dating back to the last season and marked Coach Chadwick's first victory at the helm.
•Jessica Jammer leads the team with 8.2 points per game, which ranks 24th in the Southland Conference. Jammer also leads the Islanders in conference play with 9.1 points per game. Janae Blount is second on the team with 8.0 points per game (T-26th, SLC).
•Coach Chadwick has used 12 different starting lineups this season. On Thursday, he used the starting lineup of Jessica Jammer, Ashanti Plummer, Brandi Huff, Taryn Gregory and Verne'qua Taylor for the first time this season. 10 of the 12 active Islanders have started at least two games this season.
The Cowgirls and Islanders will meet for the eighth time in program history. The Cowgirls have the 4-3 series advantage.
The Islanders dropped a 44-37 loss to McNeese State earlier this season in Lake Charles, La. The Islanders led the boards but it wasn't enough as the Islanders suffered a 68-39 loss to the Cowgirls. McNeese State was powered by three players in double-figure scoring. Jammer paced the Islanders with nine points while Ashley Darley added seven points.
McNeese State is tied for third in the Southland Conference rankings with a 7-4 record. The Cowgirls have won four of its last five games. McNeese State is coming off a 60-53 road loss to league leader Sam Houston State. The Cowgirls are averaging 67.3 points per game behind Ashlyn Baggett's 18.3 points per game and Caitlyn Baggett's 13.8 points per game. Cecilia Okoye leads the boards with 6.7 rebounds per game.
The Islanders were picked to finish eighth in the Southland Conference Coaches' Poll after finishing with a 5-11 conference record last season.
At Nicholls State, Imani Dunn tallied eight points all in the first half, including 2-for-4 from behind the arc in her third start of the season. Prior to that, the senior made her first season start vs. Oral Roberts and gave the Islanders a spark, scoring the first seven points for the Islanders. She also tied a career-high three from behind the arc in a career-high 32 minutes. At Southeastern La., Dunn tallied six points going 6-for-8 from behind the arc.
Jessica Jammer has powered the Islanders' offense in conference play. She leads the Islanders in scoring with 8.2 per game and has registered six double-figure scoring games this season.

Freshman guard Janae Blount is second on the team with 8.0 points per game which is good for a tie for 26th place in the SLC in scoring. She has scored seven double-figure scoring games this season. The Washington, D.C. native scored a career-high 21 points vs. Auburn and tied her career-high four three-pointers at the 26th Annual Omni Hotels Classic in Boulder, Colo. to earn a spot on the All-Tournament team.
Ashley Darley has made starts in 14 of the 20 Islanders' games. She is third on the team with 7.6 points per game in 17.8 minutes per game. She has chipped in a team-high 29 steals apiece (13th, SLC).
Darling recorded a career-high 29 points vs. Sam Houston State and grabbed 11 rebounds. She followed that performance with her second double-double of the year with 11 points and a season-high 12 rebounds vs. Lamar.

A political scandal involving sex tapes and drugs makes international headlines. The San Francisco Giants clinch the World Series. Again. Federal prosecutors declare all-out war against medicinal marijuana providers. There was no shortage of drama in local news in 2012.
Here are my top 10 stories. I welcome yours at http://www.insidebayarea.com.
Oakland public safety crisis
As of Friday, 130 homicides had been recorded in the city -- a five-year record. Mayor Jean Quan fessed up that she provided the public with flawed crime data yet continued to defend her discredited "100-block" violence reduction plan all the same. A disgruntled former student at Oikos University fatally shot seven people and wounded three others at the nursing school. Federal Judge Thelton Henderson seized ultimate control of the Oakland Police Department. The judge will appoint a full-time "compliance director" -- who reports to him -- to oversee court-mandated civil rights reforms stemming from the Riders' lawsuit. On Thursday, Oakland officials announced that they were hiring super cop William J. Bratton as a consultant.
Chevron refinery fire
A massive fire at the Richmond refinery spewed black smoke across the East Bay. Bay Area Air Quality Management District officials came under scathing criticism for sending out false assurances that there were no significant health concerns. In fact, the agency had not even measured particulates that could have been associated with health complaints in the fire's aftermath. More than 5,000 people claiming health problems have filed suit against the oil company.
Marijuana wars
Federal prosecutors went after the medical marijuana industry with both barrels. The feds raided Oaksterdam University in Oakland, effectively driving marijuana legalization advocate Richard Lee out of business. Then U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag filed asset forfeiture proceedings against the landlords of Harborside Health Center in an effort to shut down the nation's largest medical marijuana dispensary with branches in Oakland and San Jose. The battle wages on in court.
Oakland Army Base redevelopment
The Oakland City Council approved a series of agreements to launch a $1 billion redevelopment of the long idle Oakland Army Base. It will become a logistics and warehousing center for port operations.
Alameda County Supervisor Nadia Lockyer meltdown
Lockyer, wife of State Treasurer Bill Lockyer, resigned amid a drug and sex scandal that began with her calling 911 from a Newark motel room. She told police that her lover, a man with a history of meth-related charges, had assaulted her. Lockyer's life quickly spiraled out of control -- culminating with her arrest in Orange County on methamphetamine and child endangerment charges. Bill Lockyer has filed for divorce.
Tragedy in Berkeley Hills
A mentally ill Oakland man in search of his imaginary fiancee wandered onto Peter Cukor's property and beat the 67-year-old Berkeley Hills resident to death. The horrific event highlighted major cracks in the state's mental health care system. Cukor's family has filed suit against the city of Berkeley, alleging that police failed to respond to Cukor's call for help.
Strip club scandal
Two top Port of Oakland officials -- Executive Director Omar Benjamin and Maritime Director James Kwon -- resigned in scandal. This after news reports that they had spent $4,500 in taxpayer money at a strip club in Houston in 2008. After an internal audit found other instances of irregular spending, port officials pledged to clean up their act.
Good news in Fremont
The California Energy Commission voted to give Tesla Motors, Inc. $10 million to help produce an electric-powered vehicle at its Fremont plant. Tesla plans to spend about $50 million to manufacture the Model X, an electric-powered SUV that is supposed to travel 250 miles on a single charge.
San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi saga
Mirkarimi pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of false imprisonment stemming from a New Year's Eve argument in which he grabbed and bruised his wife's arm. Mayor Ed Lee suspended him but couldn't muster enough votes on the Board of Supervisors to oust him.
San Francisco Giants World Series champs
The boys in orange and black rolled over the Detroit Tigers to win their second World Series in three seasons and make us proud again.
Have a happy and prosperous New Year!

MARTINEZ -- Painting figures and abstracts are opposite artistic endeavors but Nancy Ingamells Robinson approaches each medium the same way -- by connecting with the subject using keen observation skills.
Whether the strokes on canvas are depicting an abstract image or a human, each stroke evokes vibrancy and color, said Robinson, whose paintings adorn several walls of her Martinez home.
"I paint for me," said Robinson. "I really don't plan. I just do it."
After raising a household of children in Pleasant Hill and being retired as a registered nurse from Children's Hospital Oakland for several years, Robinson immersed herself into acrylic painting classes and workshops to fine tune her skills.
"I guess that the French Expressionists were my first love," she said.
Other favorite painters include the Bay Area Figurative Artists group -- Nathan Oliviera, David Park, Elmer Bischoff, Richard Diebenkorn, Joan Brown. She's also admired artists such as Joan Mitchell, Willem de Kooning and Aptos artist Ursula O'Farrell.
Her figure paintings will be part of the group show at the ARt Cottage's "Homage to the Nude in Art" through Jan. 26, at 2238 Mt. Diablo St., in downtown Concord.
Jackie Carroll, Robinson's friend, said she can relate to Robinson's love of abstracts and figures because she paints them both herself. Carroll and Robinson, who met at a Civic Arts Education painting class about a decade ago, still paint figures together at open studio sessions at Lafayette Studio on Thursday afternoons.
"From doing figures, we really learn how to observe the subject," says Carroll, "and maybe that carries over to creating abstracts."
When Robinson paints abstracts, she explores "fascinating uses of colors and shapes." When she's painting figures, she's not trying to capture their story -- she's interested in the uniqueness of the individual.
"There's nothing more beautiful than the human form," Robinson said. "I don't really get their likeness -- more of an essence. It's important I connect with a model and there are some that are just great."
For Robinson, painting has been a process of letting go and seeing where the artistic journey will take her.
"I just do this for fun," she said. "If it starts to get serious -- forget it."

And for a disciple thus freed, in whose heart dwells peace, there isnothing to be added to what has been done, and naught more remains forhim to do. Just as a rock of one solid mass remains unshaken by thewind, even so, neither forms, nor sounds, nor odors, nor tastes, norcontacts of any kind, neither the desired, nor the undesired, cancause such an one to waver. Steadfast is his mind, gained isdeliverance.

The FR82011SSCR-1 Ethernet Media Converter (Receiver) from Pelco is the receiver in a distribution system designed to convert data signals and transport them over extended distances using fiber-optic cable. It can convert 10Base-T/100Base-TX Ethernet data to 100Base-FX Ethernet data, or vice versa. This model uses single-mode (9/125 um) fiber with an SC fiber-optic connector. It is capable of achieving transmission distances of up to 28.6 miles.
This solution uses wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) to manage bidirectional data over a single fiber. Port functions for 10Base-T/100Base-TX data are user selectable. An auto MDI/MDI-X feature allows each RJ-45 port to connect to either a straight-through or crossover RJ-45 cable.
Its link-down detection feature propagates a link-down status among all 10Base-T/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX ports connected in the network when any link goes down. When this happens, all ports are disabled and data transmission halts until the faulty link is restored.
This solution is modular in design. It can be used as a standalone module or mounted in an equipment rack. A number of separately available accessories, such as mount kits and power supplies, allow you to customize it to meet your specific needs.
- 10Base-T/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX

Dehydration in Adults
In this article
Dehydration in Adults Overview
Dehydration is a condition that occurs when the loss of body fluids, mostly water, exceeds the amount that is taken in. With dehydration, more water is moving out of our cells and bodies than what we take in through drinking.
We lose water every day in the form of water vapor in the breath we exhale and in our excreted sweat, urine, and stool. Along with the water, small amounts of salts are also lost.
Recommended Related to Health A-Z
Important It is possible that the main title of the report Varicella Zoster is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Read the Varicella Zoster article > >
When we lose too much water, our bodies may become out of balance or dehydrated. Severe dehydration can lead to death.
Causes of Dehydration in Adults
Many conditions may cause rapid and continued fluid losses and lead to dehydration:
- Fever, heat exposure, and too much exercise
- Vomiting, diarrhea, and increased urination due to infection
- Diseases such as diabetes
- The inability to seek appropriate water and food (as in the case of a disabled person)
- An impaired ability to drink (for instance, someone in a coma or on a respirator)
- No access to safe drinking water
- Significant injuries to skin, such as burns or mouth sores, or severe skin diseases or infections (water is lost through the damaged skin)
Symptoms of Dehydration in Adults
The signs and symptoms of dehydration range from minor to severe and include:
- Increased thirst
- Dry mouth and swollen tongue
- Weakness
- Dizziness
- Palpitations (feeling that the heart is jumping or pounding)
- Confusion
- Sluggishness fainting
- Fainting
- Inability to sweat
- Decreased urine output
Urine color may indicate dehydration. If urine is concentrated and deeply yellow or amber, you may be dehydrated.
When to Seek Medical Care
Call your doctor if the dehydrated person experiences any of the following:
- Increased or constant vomiting for more than a day
- Fever over 101°F
- Diarrhea for more than 2 days
Weight loss
- Decreased urine production
- Confusion
- Weakness

DON'T MISS: Super Bowl XLVIII -- Break out the chicken wings: America's day of football-related gluttony is upon us. The big game pits the NFL's No. 1 offense (Denver Broncos) against the No. 1 defense (Seattle Seahawks) in frigid New Jersey. But if the sight of beefy men pummeling one another on fake grass doesn't do it for you, there are always the silly commercials and the rousing halftime show starring Bruno Mars. No matter what your game plan is, it's time to huddle up on the couch. 3:25 p.m. Sunday, Fox. (6:25 p.m. Eastern).
SUNDAY: Forget the football combatants. Tonight's big winner could be "Brooklyn Nine Nine." The Golden Globe-winning freshman sitcom gets some much-needed exposure tonight when it airs after the Super Bowl and "New Girl." The guest list for the special episode includes Adam Sandler and NFL legend Joe Theismann. 8 p.m., Fox. (11 p.m. Eastern).
SUNDAY: The game is still on in "Sherlock, Series III," but not for long. Tonight's installment, "His Last Vow," is the season finale, so fans of Benedict Cumberbatch's quick-thinking sleuth had better savor it. 9:58 p.m., PBS.
MONDAY: "Sports Illustrated Swimsuit: 50 Years of Beautiful" is a special hosted by Heidi Klum that celebrates five decades of a publishing institution. Included: interviews with Kate Upton, Tyra Banks and Christie Brinkley and music from Enrique Iglesias, Tim McGraw, John Legend and Lady Antebellum. 9 p.m., NBC.
TUESDAY: On "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," the team's pursuit of the Clairvoyant lands them on a train that appears to be taking them to their death. In a brighter development, comics icon Stan Lee makes a cameo appearance.
TUESDAY: Even on "The Biggest Loser," there has to be a winner. In the Season 15 finale, we find out which contestant did the best job of dealing with weighty issues. 9 p.m., NBC.
WEDNESDAY: "American Idol" adds a new twist this week with the "Hollywood or Home" round. Before they have a chance to wallow in their golden-ticket glory, some of the wannabes will be called in front of the judges to perform solo numbers that will determine whether they advance or get sent to the airport with their dream in tatters. 8 p.m., Fox.
WEDNESDAY: On "Arrow," Katrina Law guest stars as Nyssa, a member of the ominous-sounding League of Assassins. Apparently, it's a club that doesn't do a whole lot of charity work. 8 p.m., The CW.
THURSDAY: Action at the Winter Olympics gets rolling a day before the opening ceremony in Sochi. Tonight's slate includes two new events: team figure skating and slopestyle snowboarding. 8 p.m., NBC.

Application launcher and much more.
Quicksilver is a unified, extensible interface for working with applications, contacts, music, and other data.
Anyone using a computer (and the Macintosh is no exception) spends a lot of time locating files and applications, and then carrying out actions on those items. The Finder is a reasonably good tool for getting a visual overview of the contents of your disk, but it isn't ideal for quickly locating and manipulating files, especially if you have a deep and complicated folder structure, or if you prefer keyboard navigation to using the mouse.
Quicksilver allows you to find what you need quickly and easily, while keeping your hands on the keyboard. For example, if you want to launch an application hidden in the depths of your file system, simply activate Quicksilver with a keystroke, type a few letters of the application's name, then hit Return or Enter to launch it. When you don't need Quicksilver, it keeps out of your way, preserving precious screen real estate, and yet you can summon it instantly with a key stroke - just like Mercury the winged messenger. Actually, Roman mythological texts are remarkably silent on whether Mercury could be summoned with a key stroke, but it would have been great if he could. Quicksilver will certainly make you feel as if you have god-like powers.

I consider any computer that doesn't have Quicksilver installed to be broken.
While this app isn't for everyone, it IS for everyone who wants everything their computer can do at their fingertips. It's the power of a comand line interface, with the ease of a beautiful GUI.
Perhaps I haven't given Quicksilver a fair shake, but I forget it's even installed most of the time. I guess I'm happier with Apple's built in UI.
Sorry, but I just don't get this.
Open an app? Put the apps folder in the Dock, hold it to pop it up, open the app you want.
Use an app often? Put it in the Dock.
What am I missing here?
some people are saying QuickSilver is one of the best apps for Mac...
it's THE BEST / MOST USEFUL app for Mac
Like most other commenters, I love this application, and it has so completely infiltrated the way I use my Mac, I feel hamstrung when I have to sit at someone else's computer. My favorite plug-ins: the Network Locations Module (change my network settings with a keystroke) and the del.icio.us module (all my del.icio.us links are stored in the catalog and can be launched directly form the keyboard). Definitely read some of the web articles cited here to get an idea of just how much this app can do.
Next to Growl, Quicksilver is the MUST MUST have install on every mac.
I love this app, but for some reason it consitently caused my computer to crash. I had to uninstall it. It pained me.
I love this app. I install this on every Mac I use. I just feels wierd using a computer without it. Prolly my number one app for productivity.
One of the best utilities ever.

Just over a year ago, at a show in Carbondale, Anders Osborne gave a demonstration of what music is capable of doing - connecting performer to listener, and transporting the entire gathering to another place, an elevated place. The concert left at least a few listeners using spiritual terms to describe the experience (a lot of "Holy s---!!" if I recall right), and Osborne's perspective on performing echoes the idea of a holy presence in music: "That's kind of the journey of the live performance. It's trying to connect to something very transformative, for myself and for the audience," Osborne said from Washington, D.C., the day before Election Day.Key to the Carbondale show was the electric guitar. Osborne, backed only by a bass-and-drum rhythm section, launched into long flurries of notes (the first three songs took up over a half-hour), and head-to-head encounters with his amplifier to drive up the distortion and volume. Osborne often had his eyes closed - seeing what, one can only guess - and other times he looked upwards, presumably for inspiration to find new and deeper ways to express himself through six guitar strings. My review in The Aspen Times (under the headline, "A Guitarist Possessed") noted that "Osborne had no trouble finding whatever demons, visions, pain, ecstasy lived in him, and translating them into meaningful guitar lines."Acoustic and soloOsborne returns to Eagle County, for a show at the Vilar Center on Sunday, but this time without the electrification. For his gig on Sunday at the Vilar, opening for reggae band Toots & the Maytals, Osborne is bringing only acoustic guitars, and playing solo. Without being able to lose himself in feedback and long solos, Osborne says the set will have a very different feel, with an emphasis on songs."With the songs, you're focusing on making the melodies, the voice and the lyrics transport people like that," the 46-year-old said. "You want to sing words to the audience in a way that they feel like they know the songs already, like it's the most familiar thing they've ever heard. You want to say it so it's clear. The words are doing the work for you."With the electric, you're beating people over the head sometimes. When you play acoustic, solo like this, you can get really, really dynamic; you can bring it way down. That's a different kind of connection."Osborne is one of those musicians who can have things both ways. He started out as more of a singer-songwriter type than a guitar pyrotechnician. His breakthrough album, 1993's "Break the Chain," prompted comparisons to Van Morrison (due in part to Osborne's cover of Morrison's "Stoned Me"). "Black Eye Galaxy," his 2011 album, showcased all sides of Osborne: the songs examined addiction, pain and release, but there was no shortage of heavy, Hendrix-like guitar work. Osborne has also worked as a songwriter for hire; his 2002 tune "Watch the Wind Blow By" became a number one hit for country singer Tim McGraw.'A liberating city'The other significant aspect of Osborne's musical make-up is New Orleans. Osborne was born in Sweden, and at 16 he became a wandering troubadour, playing music through Europe, Israel and North Africa. He was attracted to New Orleans not because of its reputation as a music capital, but because his grandfather and an uncle had lived there. Osborne first checked out the city in 1985 and found a creative environment that encouraged expansive thinking. He hasn't found reason to leave; he lives in the Bayou St. John neighborhood, close to the fairgrounds that is home to the legendary New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival."We don't categorize music too hard. We mix, we blend, we sit in and play with each other," Osborne said, noting that New Orleans icons like Dr. John and George Porter, bassist of the Meters, were particularly supportive in his early years. "It's one music community that's the whole thing, rather than belonging to one genre. It allows me to stay pretty free. It's a liberating city, encouraging of being who you are. The whole city's based on that."Osborne went through a period, starting in the late '90s, when his music drew heavily on the Louisiana influence. The 2002 album "Bury the Hatchet" was a collaboration with Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, of the Mardi Gras Indian tribe the Golden Eagles; Osborne also formed a close and enduring alliance with Kirk Joseph, a sousaphonist and co-founder of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band.In last year's Carbondale concert the New Orleans flavor was a little less evident. Instead, that show included moments like a long take on the Neil Young guitar work-out "Cortez the Killer." It ended with Osborne so soaked in sweat that he draped a towel over his shoulder. Osborne's purpose is to get to a higher spiritual plane, but getting there via an electric six-string takes an awful lot of work."The thing about music is a lot of your senses are really working hard," he said. "It's almost a paradox - you're trying to get so Zen; at the same time, you're working really hard to create something. That's an interesting combination. You have to perform, and you have to perform effortlessly enough to make it peaceful."

1 dead, another wounded in gunfight in west Tuscaloosa
Wounded man being treated at DCH for injuries that were not life-threatening
Published: Monday, July 15, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 15, 2013 at 11:50 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | One man was killed and another was wounded following a gunfight involving two groups of people in west Tuscaloosa Monday evening.
"All we know right now is that two groups of people were engaged in a fight in which shots were fired from each group. One man is deceased and another is injured. That's all we know right now," said Sgt. Dale Phillips, commander of the Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit, at about 10:30 p.m. Monday.
The shootings occurred at about 8 p.m. in the 1600 block of 43rd Court, a neighborhood that is just south of Stillman Boulevard, according to police.
The wounded man arrived DCH Regional Medical Center in a private vehicle and was being treated Monday night for injuries that were not life-threatening, Phillips said.
Police used crime-scene tape at the hospital's emergency room entrance drive, where the vehicle was parked, until the car could be towed at about 10:15 p.m.
The identities of the dead man and the injured man were not released Monday night.
When asked by reporters outside the hospital if the shootings were related to a Friday-night drive-by shooting in which a 4-year-girl was shot in the head and arm while sleeping in her home on 31st Avenue, Phillips said: "It is not related. If it is, it has not come out yet."
No arrests were made immediately.
Phillips said he would release more information on the Monday night shootings this morning.

Za Approval delivered as the favorite in the Grade 3, $200,000 Knickerbocker for 3-year-olds and up on Saturday at Belmont Park, giving jockey Joel Rosario his first stakes victory since returning from a fractured bone he suffered in his left foot in August.
Seeking his third graded stakes win of the year, Za Approval kept tabs on Plainview, the free-running pacesetter, while racing in third through a half-mile in 47.43 seconds and three-quarters in 1:10.90. Rosario got to work aboard Za Approval with three-sixteenths to travel, and the 5-year-old gelding quickly shot past Plainview en route to a 1 ¼-length victory. Plainview held second by a neck over Howe Great.
"It was a good trip," said Rosario, who made his comeback on Friday. "This horse tries hard all the time. I rode him twice in Florida this winter; he finished second and he won, so I had confidence in him. I didn't want to rush him too much [early]; they were going a little quick. With this horse, every time you ask him, he keeps giving."
The Knickerbocker was the first start at 1 1/8 miles for Za Approval, who completed the distance over the firm inner turf course in 1:46.51. He returned $5.50 for a $2 win wager.
Za Approval, trained by Christophe Clement for Live Oak Plantation, garnered his first graded stakes in March at Gulfstream Park when he won the Grade 3 Appleton, then added another score in the Grade 3 Red Bank in May at Monmouth Park. He entered the Knickerbocker off a pair of runner-up performances in Grade 1 races, finishing second to Obviously by 3 ¼ lengths in the Grade 1 Shoemaker Mile in June at Betfair Hollywood Park and to reigning Horse of the Year Wise Dan by 3 ½ lengths in the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile on September 15.
"When I ran him in Grade 1s, he got beat by two of the best milers in the country," said Clement. "He's been getting better all of his life. He's been a great credit to the Live Oak team and Mrs. [Charlotte] Weber because they have been very patient with him, and it's wonderful when it works out."
Overall, Za Approval is 7-5-0 in 16 starts. The homebred's Knickerbocker victory, worth $120,000, pushed his earnings to $675,345.
Tetradrachm was fourth and was followed home by Swift Warrior, 2011 and 2012 Knickerbocker winner Boisterous, Mr. Commons, and Paris Vegas. Exclusive Strike and London Lane were scratched, as were main-track-only entrants Don Dulce, Percussion, and Praetereo.

CALGARY, Alberta -- There was no panic in the Sharks' dressing room after their 4-1 loss to the Calgary Flames on Thursday night. No sounding off by players or by coach Todd McLellan.
Instead, the Sharks remained steadfast that things will turn around. And that the frustration they're experiencing on offense -- three straight losses and just five goals in the past five games -- won't last much longer.
"I don't think that we had the energy we needed to create a lot. When we did, we were off the mark," McLellan said. "It'll come for our team. We have a lot of talent, we have offensive players. We'll look at ways we can try to help them, and we're also going to get healthy at some point."
The Sharks, shut out in their previous two games, made sure their offensive struggles didn't reach record proportions. Eriah Hayes recorded his first NHL goal 36 seconds into the third period to cut Calgary's lead to 2-1 and end a Sharks' scoring drought that had reached 160 minutes and 36 seconds.
Before Hayes scored, San Jose's last goal came from Joe Thornton in a 3-2 overtime win over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. The Sharks' franchise scoreless streak record is 190:22, set over four games in February 2007.
But the Sharks, playing on back-to-back nights and their fourth game in six days, weren't able to sustain that momentum as they managed just seven shots in the third period.
"It was a relief to get a goal, it was a big goal. We had some looks, but we weren't very opportunistic," Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle said. "Credit the other team for what they're doing, but you have to also look in the mirror to see if there are things you can do better or change."
With the Flames leading 2-0 in the second period, the Sharks let a glorious chance for a goal get away.
James Sheppard drove toward the net on a breakaway, and his shot got behind Flames goalie Karri Ramo. But the puck was kept out of the net by defenseman Mark Giordano. Hayes followed the play and had another whack at the puck from in close, but it still stayed out.
"I found the puck behind their goalie. I have to put that one home," Hayes said. "Their d-man came out of nowhere and made a nice play. It bounced off me, it bounced off the post and somehow squirted out. I have to bear down on that and put it in the back of the net." The first period had the opposite feel of Wednesday's game in Edmonton, even though the end result was the same. Whereas the Sharks outshot the Oilers 20-7 in the first, the Flames had a 12-8 advantage in that area on Thursday. Both games, San Jose trailed 1-0 after one, as Lee Stempniak scored for Calgary 9:41 into the game.
"Coming off back-to-back nights, it's hard. But I thought in the second period, we responded well," Sharks captain Joe Thornton said. "They played well. They play a hard checking game. We had some chances, we just couldn't bear down."
Kennedy had just seven shifts and had 2 minutes and 55 seconds of ice time before he left Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Edmonton.

REDWOOD CITY -- A Sebastopol man had a simple explanation for the seven pounds of marijuana in his luggage at San Francisco International Airport: He was taking it to Boston, where he was planning to bury it, according to a prosecutor.
A San Mateo County Superior Court jury was skeptical and on Wednesday convicted Kenneth Gibson, 46, of transporting marijuana and having marijuana for sale, both felonies. He faces up to three years behind bars at his sentencing, which is set for Nov. 22, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
On Feb. 1, Gibson and his wife were headed through security at SFO to catch their Jet Blue flight to Boston for a five-day trip.
But a security worker noticed something strange as the couple's bags went through the X-ray machine: numerous packages of "biological material," neatly lined up in Gibson's suitcase, Wagstaffe said.
It was seven pounds of pot that was double-bagged and vacuum-sealed, prosecutors said.
Gibson said it was for personal use and showed his medical marijuana card. He still was arrested.
While on the stand this week during his trial, Gibson said he had grown the marijuana at his farm and reiterated the intention to smoke it all, said Wagstaffe. Gibson added that he intended to bury the bags on a property he was going to buy back east.
"I guess you have to got to say something," Wagstaffe said.
Defense attorney Jai Gohel didn't immediately respond to a phone message seeking comment. Gibson is out of jail on $20,000 bail.

9.2-3 Burglary in the Second Degree -- § 53a-102
Revised to November 1, 2008
The defendant is charged [in count __] with burglary in the second degree. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of burglary in the second degree when such person unlawfully (enters / remains in)1 a dwelling, while a person other than a participant in the crime is actually present in such dwelling, with intent to commit a crime therein.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Entered/remained in
The first element is that the defendant knowingly and unlawfully (entered / remained in) a dwelling. A person acts "knowingly" with respect to conduct or circumstances when (he/she) is aware that (his/her) conduct is of such nature or that such circumstances exist. <See Knowledge, Instruction 2.3-3.>
"Dwelling" means a building that is usually occupied by a person lodging therein at night. Therefore, a structure that cannot possibly be occupied as a lodging cannot be a dwelling.
You must also determine whether the defendant unlawfully (entered / remained in) the dwelling. A person unlawfully (enters / remains in) a dwelling when (he/she) is not licensed or privileged to do so. To be "licensed or privileged," the defendant must either have consent from the person in possession of the dwelling or have some other right to be in the dwelling.
[To "enter" a dwelling the intruder need not necessarily place (his/her) entire body inside the dwelling. Inserting any part of (his/her) body, or an implement or weapon held by (him/her), within the dwelling is sufficient to constitute such entry as long as it is without license or privilege. It does not matter how an intruder may actually have entered; if (he/she) did so without license or privilege, (he/she) has entered unlawfully.]
[A person may have entered a dwelling lawfully, that is, (he/she) had the right or had been given permission, but that right is terminated or the permission withdrawn by someone who had a right to terminate or withdraw it. You may find that the defendant "unlawfully remained" in the dwelling under these circumstances.]
Element 2 - Intent to commit a
The second element is that the defendant intended to commit a crime in that dwelling. A person acts "intentionally" with respect to a result when (his/her) conscious objective is to cause such result. <See Intent: Specific, Instruction 2.3-1.>
Even if the defendant never actually committed a crime in the dwelling, if the evidence establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that (he/she) was there with such intention, this is sufficient to prove that the defendant unlawfully (entered / remained in) the dwelling with the intent to commit a crime therein. Furthermore, the necessary intent to commit a crime must be an intent to commit either a felony or a misdemeanor in addition to the unlawful entering or remaining in the dwelling.
In this case, the state claims that the defendant intended to commit <insert crime>. <Refer to the count in which this crime is charged or, if uncharged, give the elements of the crime.>
Element 3 - Persons present in
The third element is that when the defendant (entered / remained in) the dwelling, a person other than a participant in the crime was actually present in the dwelling.
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant 1) unlawfully (entered / remained in) a dwelling, 2) (he/she) had the intent to commit a crime, and 3) a person other then a participant in the crime was actually present in the dwelling.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of
burglary in the second degree, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the
other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a
reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not
Do not instruct on both "unlawful entering" and "unlawful remaining" if the
information and the evidence could support a conceptual distinction between the
two. See "enters
or remains unlawfully" in the glossary.

RoHS II Regulation Challenges Medical Device Manufacturers
By Clint Chadwick-Oracle on Feb 25, 2013
Elmar Frühe - Master Principal Consultant, Enterprise PLM Solutions EMEA
A New Challenge
There is a new challenge making Medical Device manufacturer's worry: the updated RoHS regulation, now officially known as RoHS 2011/65/EU or just RoHS 2.0. RoHS regulation and the corresponding responsibility to manufacture or buy only compliant components and products is already well accepted by the Electronic and High Tech industry, but still new to the Medical Device markets.
The regulation itself becomeseffective on 2nd January 2014 and includes all Medical Devices (according legislation 93/42/EWG) except active medical implants. In Vitro Diagnostics products will follow in 2016. So the time to act is now!
RoHS II
So what does the RoHS regulation mean specifically? First of all medical-device products have to be built without (or limited) use of certain hazardous substances like lead, cadmium or mercury. In addition the manufacturer has to prove by an adequate documentation that one is following the RoHS compliance. And last but not least there is a certificate of conformity and a CE-labeling necessary.
Every quality and regulation representative in Medical Device companies is facing a huge additional amount of work or another pile of (paper based) documentation and dossiers ready to be shipped with the product. But couldn't life be easier if software could support the overall process from a compliant design to sufficient documentation? Yes it could and the good news is that the appropriate software is there!
A Best Practice Solution
Medical Device companies using Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software today are not nervous about the new regulation. Starting in the very early beginning of the product design they already keep an eye on being RoHS compliant while selecting only allowed components. They additionally qualify their manufacturers and suppliers as being a trustful partner providing materials and components without containing any hazardous substances. Of course all the declarations and certificates are stored as an electronic record in the system ready to be reused for any audit or technical documentation. Even new introduced parts undergo an approval process including strong supplier collaboration and collecting all signatures needed for a "Compliance OK" designation!
During the ongoing Product Lifecycle the PLM system helps to manage all the processes and information in a collaborative network. Any requirement, Bill of materials, drawings as well as schematics and layouts are managed within the system. Furthermore, they have a lifecycle status, are linked together and are change and revision controlled within the software tool. In addition, quality related processes are built in a PLM tool to manage a closed loop from a first sample inspection finding to the final corrective action and design change.
So when it comes to an audit or to the necessary RoHS documentation including product descriptions, construction drawings, compliance declarations, process plans and operation procedures, the system already has the information ready to submit or print. Medical Companies already using PLM software dramatically reduce the cost and effort of being compliant and of course mitigate the risk of launching a non-compliant product.
In Summary
All in all PLM systems help to keep a compliant data set of records within one single source of truth – always ready to be used and managed in a collaborative network – saving time and costs, ensuring high quality and mitigating the risk of non-compliance .
