Background Back to Top
Chest radiography is a widely applied and important tool for assessing lung health in clinical care, surveillance, research and hazard evaluations of workers exposed to respirable silica, asbestos, coal, beryllium, and other hazardous dusts. Collectively, these dust-induced diseases are called pneumoconioses. The International Labour Office (ILO) International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses provides a standardized system for classification of chest radiographs that has been widely used by physicians and epidemiologic researchers in the investigation of work-related respiratory hazards. For the last four decades, NIOSH has been training physicians and certifying competence in the use of the ILO system to classify film-based chest radiographs. Physicians who pass a rigorous standardized examination offered by NIOSH are designated as B Readers.
Recently, the ILO system was updated to allow the use of digital chest images instead of analog chest radiographs. Similarly, NIOSH updated its Coal Workers' Health Surveillance Program to allow use of digital chest images. In follow up, NIOSH is now working to update its B Reader training and certification program by developing digital-format training materials and examinations.
Core knowledge and competencies to be addressed in an updated digital-format B Reader training and certification program might include the following:
Understand the following:
1. The different types of radiographic abnormalities that are or may be associated with dust exposure.
2. The intention, format, and mechanics of the ILO classification system, including:
(a) When to use the classification and what abnormalities should be classified
(b) How the ILO defines abnormalities for parenchymal and pleural disease
(c) The meaning of profusion and how to use major/minor profusion categories properly
(d) The nature and use of standard films/images in classification
3. Where to find information about how to apply the ILO system.
4. Where to find information on the NIOSH B Reader system.
5. Ethical approaches to classifying radiographs, including:
(a) The responsibilities of the reader in communicating with worker, agency, lawyer, employer(b) Confidentiality issues impacting readers
6. The effects of technical defects on the appearances covered in the classification.
Ability to accurately and reliably identify and categorize the following according to the ILO classification system:
1. Image quality
(a) Unreadable images
(b) Defects in image quality that may affect its classification
2. Normal radiographs
(a) Borderline normal
3. Small nodular opacities
(a) High profusion
(b) Low profusion
(c) Reliably classifying profusion as 1/0 or greater; or 0/1 or less.
4. Small linear/irregular opacities
(a) High profusion
(b) Low profusion
(c) Reliably classifying profusion as 1/0 or greater; or 0/1 or less
5. Reliable classification of Large Opacities
(a) Reliably classify presence of large opacities
(b) Reliably classify category of large opacities
6. Pleural disease
(a) Plaque and diffuse
(b) Calcifications
(c) Costophrenic angle obliteration
(d) Locations
7. Be able to identify and differentiate:
1. Large opacities and confluence of small opacities (ax) lesions
2. Cancer (ca) and pulmonary tuberculosis (tb) lesions
Information Needs Back to Top
Additional data and information are needed to assist NIOSH in determining the knowledge elements and competencies that should be included in B Reader training and certification and how they should be prioritized for emphasis in training and certification testing. Information is particularly needed in response to the following questions:
(1) What knowledge elements and competencies are essential for a B Reader?
(2) What are the most critical knowledge elements and competencies to identify in the B Reader certification and re-certification examinations?
(3) What are the key functions of the B Reader certification and re-certification examinations grading system, and how should the examinations be graded to accomplish those functions? Should the general approach currently used for grading [1] [2] be changed and if yes, how and why?
(4) Should NIOSH consider alternative approaches to maintenance of B Reader certification besides recertification examinations every 4 years? If so, what alternative approaches would be both effective and desirable?
(5) NIOSH seeks to obtain materials, including published and unpublished reports and research findings that will help to answer these questions. NIOSH encourages respondents to provide these materials.

This is just a documentation suggestion - Windows users who elect to use the PostGIS installer don't need to acquire GEOS or PROJ.4 independently since they are included with the PostGIS insatller. If you could note that near the top of the installation section it might save users a few minutes since they may not realize that the PostGIS installer is inclusive.

- Patch needs improvement unset
note that users who elect to use the PostGIS Windows installer will have to add the Postgres bin directory to their system path. (ex. C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin)
comment:2 Changed 9 years ago by luftyluft@…
UPDATE: I realized after my last comment that the version of GEOS included with the Windows PostGIS installer is an older version. The API in the packaged version does not contain some of the methods that GeoDjango depends on. I spent a bit of time trying to build the latest GEOS via both Cygwin and MinGW/MSYS but have not been successful yet.
I will update if I discover or come across any straightforward instructions for building GEOS 3 on Windows (preferably without requiring Visual Studio).

Yes, formal docs need to be written about the GeoDjango installation on Windows. I also want to provide a "battery pack" of the needed Windows library binaries in a Zip file. The GEOS library I used was the latest version (3.0.0RC4). I obtained my libraries from the PostGIS Windows technology preview. Specifically, copy libgeos-3-0-0rc4.dll, libgeos_c-1.dll, and libproj.dll to your Python directory (e.g. C:\Python25).

ISSN 0717-9553. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-95532010000200010.
The objective is to compare the views of nursing students at the University of Lleida and the University of La Frontera (UFRO), in relation to the perception of the skills that should have a nurse or tutor in the clinical teaching. Qualitative research, the Techniques of Natural Semantic Nets was used. Sample. All students from second and third year (110 Lleida and 63 UFRO) participated, whom prior signed Informed Consent, were asked, individually and in five minutes, write ten words (verbs, adverbs, adjectives, nouns) related to the stimulus question "What are the characteristics that should have a nurse for clinical teaching". Thereafter, they should rank the words, corresponding the number one to the higher value. Analysis through reduction of the information according to the technique. All students from both schools agree that "empathy" (100%) is the main attitude expected from nurses who perform clinical teaching. In Lleida, "teaching" is mentioned in second and third year with 80.1% 43.1%, respectively, in UFRO represents 47.2% second year and 23% third year. The "experience", in Lleida, is 86.3% for second year and 42% for third year, attributes not mentioned by the UFRO'students. For the second year (UFRO) "knowledge" 89.8% and 47.1% third year, this aspect is identified only for the second year of Lleida with a 36.4%. For the students from both schools the generic competence are the fundamental attributes for the clinical teaching. The characteristic "teaching" may be considered to the competence of to be, knowledge and know-how.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Volleyball Team lost a 3-0 (25-11, 25-17, 25-13) match to the first-place UTSA Roadrunners on Wednesday night in a Southland Conference road match. The two teams faced off for the second time this year, with this meeting coming at the UTSA Convocation Center.
The Islanders are now 11-15 overall and 3-6 in league play. UTSA improves to 15-8 on the year, with a 9-0 mark in Southland matches. The Roadrunners have yet to lose a set in a Southland Conference match this year.
Shannon Hullum led the Islanders effort with seven kills while Brooke Alverson was close behind at six on the night. Logen Bourque led the team with 11 assists while Micah Nolan had 11 digs in the match.
In the first set, the Islanders fell behind by as many as 6-1 before they rallied to within 8-7 on two kills from Alverson and a service ace by Hullum. From that point on however, UTSA went on a 13-1 run to make it a 21-8 score before eventually taking a 25-11 final.
The second frame was much closer and featured eight ties and three lead changes as the two teams battled. The Islanders scored first on a Hullum kill to make it 1-0 and again took a lead on a Jessica Korda kill to make it 2-1. With the score tied 4-4, an Alverson kill and a block assist by Bourque and Alverson made it a 6-4 lead for their team. UTSA rallied to tie it and then take the lead at 7-6 before Hullum had a kill to tie it back up at 9-9. From there, UTSA scored four-straight points to take a 13-9 lead on the way to a 25-17 victory.
The final set was close early, with the two teams playing to a 5-5 score. UTSA scored 12-of-17 points to take a 17-10 lead late in the set. The Islanders were unable to get closer than 17-11, eventually falling by a 25-13 final.
Next up for Texas A&M – Corpus Christi will be a match against McNeese State on Saturday, Oct. 22 at the Dugan Wellness Center. Start time is set for 1 p.m., with an autograph session sponsored by New York Life scheduled for after the completion of the contest.
Live stats and video will be available by visiting www.GoIslanders.com.

1984 Violence Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Book.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
"You asked me once," said O'Brien, "what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world." (3.5.4, O'Brien)
The Party does not merely employ physical torture on the captured rebels and criminals, but psychological torture as well.
Quote #8
The cage was nearer; it was closing in. Winston heard a succession of shrill cries which appeared to be occurring in the air above his head. But he fought furiously against his panic. To think, to think, even with a split second left – to think was the only hope. Suddenly the foul musty odor of the brutes struck his nostrils. There was a violent convulsion of nausea inside him, and he almost lost consciousness. Everything had gone black. For an instant he was insane, a screaming animal. Yet he came out of the blackness clutching an idea. There was one and only one way to save himself. He must interpose another human being, the body of another human being, between himself and the rats. (3.5.21)
The Party capitalizes on fear very proficiently, and Winston finally breaks under the weight of psychological fear.
Quote #9
"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past," repeated Winston obediently.
"Who controls the present controls the past," said O'Brien, nodding his head with slow approval. "Is it your opinion, Winston, that the past has real existence?" (3.2.39-40)
To O'Brien's dismay, Winston continues to deny that the mutability of the past leads to control of the present. However, the prolonged torture has been gnawing away at Winston's belief in an independent, external reality.

The Oak Ridge Board of Education will pull $454,940 from its undesignated fund balance to replace the visitors' bleachers at Blankenship Field and hold out hope that the city government will pay for the handicapped ramp and/or donate labor to the project.
If Council chooses not to be involved, School Board members said they'll fund the entire project of $523,940 from the city school system's undesignated fund balance.
"I feel there is some spirit of partnership to getting this done," Schools Superintendent Bruce Borchers said at Monday night's School Board meeting in the School Administration Building.
Borchers recommended the School Board approve the bleacher project. Board member Robert Eby amended a motion to include wording on how the School Board would pay for the project and the School Board unanimously approved the project and funding.
The School Board hopes to have the visitors' bleachers replaced by the first home football game on Aug. 29.
See BLEACHERS, Page 2A
The bleachers, which were deemed unsafe and condemned, have already been demolished by the school system's maintenance staff.
Transferring the money within the Oak Ridge schools' budget will also have to be approved by Oak Ridge City Council.
Borchers talked cautiously about what role the city government might play in the bleachers project, referring to talks he'd had with City Manager Mark Watson.
Borchers said the city is looking to improve the parking lot and the handicapped ramp could perhaps be included in that contract.
"This should not be a fuss fight," Board member Dan DiGregario said. "This is a community thing."
He asked who owned Blankenship Field and was told that the city owned the field.
Allen Thacker, the school system's maintenance and custodial operations supervisor, said the $40,000 project to recondition the Wildcat Stairs — which was included as an alternate bid in the bleachers contract — might have to be postponed until another time because of costs.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- A's Manager Bob Melvin had hoped to get Yoenis Cespedes back in left field for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, but for the fifth consecutive game Cespedes served as the designated hitter for Oakland.
Cespedes missed two games after tweaking his hamstring, then returned as the DH. Things are slowly improving, but not so much that Melvin and the A's medics are ready to put Cespedes back in the field on defense.
"He's not quite there yet," Melvin said. "His legs aren't 100 percent."
And Melvin said until Cespedes is healthy, the A's won't put him in the field, particularly when it's 90-plus degrees.
"The heat plays into it," Melvin said. "You get dehydrated playing in it."
The A's, who just finished a stretch of playing 17 consecutive games, had a day off last week and now are in a stretch of 13 games in succession. Having his team playing 30 out of 31 days as temperatures climb means Melvin has to make sure his players don't get worn out.

Then, in her first speech in Congress, Speier spoke out about Iraq, and the boos and hoots began from the Republican side of the aisle.
"When will we get out of Iraq?" was the most frequent question she heard, she told the House, while campaigning in the special election she won Tuesday to succeed the late Rep. Tom Lantos.
"The process to bring the troops home must begin immediately," she said, as several Republicans loudly booed. Rep. Darrell Issa, a Vista Republican, bolted from his seat and left the floor.
The hoots grew in volume as Speier, a Hillsborough Democrat, continued.
"The president wants to stay the course and a man who wants to replace him suggests we could be in Iraq for 100 years," she said, a reference to Republican John McCain's assertion that U.S. forces could be there decades, if they are not under attack.
"The House is not in order," shouted Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga. Some Democrats applauded. Speaker Nancy Pelosi banged her gavel. "Why are they booing my mother?" Speier's middle-school daughter Stephanie asked, according to a staffer.
Speier's first day in Congress had begun - 29 years after she first ran for the seat.
"I didn't expect that sort of reaction, but I'm not a newbie here," Speier, a congressional staffer in the 1970s, said in an interview after the swearing-in.
A veteran of the state legislature, Speier, 57, said she would not be a quiet junior member and intended to follow three lessons she learned from her late boss, Rep. Leo Ryan: question the status quo, always listen to the people you represent and always stand up for what you believe in.
Speier was badly wounded in the gunfire that killed Ryan as the Jonestown massacre in Guyana began in 1978. She ran but lost in a special election to succeed Ryan in 1979, launched a long career in San Mateo and Sacramento, and came full circle by winning Tuesday's election to Congress.

What are the most important characteristics for success? For me it's a dedication to your real interests. It's an ability to be open-minded. Without an open-minded mind, you can never be a great success. The great artists have been open-minded, even though they may seem, like Picasso, to be very directed, you can be directed and open-minded at the same time. I think you have to be really intensely serious about your work, but not so serious that you can't see the lightness that may also involve your life. You have to have that lightness too. You have to not be so heavy-handed and so ostentatious. It's very important not to be.

Quoting the change log:
Almost a year of hard work, 3000 single changes, new developers and players, a few tourneys and lots of matches have passed since the last release.
Today the Alientrap team is proud to bring you a new and improved Nexuiz! Still trying to achieve this fine balance between fun and a challenge, you will notice lots of small additions that will make playing even more fun.
Some larger changes like the new guns and particle effects will make you want to dive into the great and friendly Nexuiz community, while the large additions including the race game mode, some new maps and improved netcode will take away lots of hours of your free time.
Do you dare to take a look and see for yourself what a totally free and open source game can be?
New features include:
- Completely redone HUD and user adjustable scoreboard
- Totally rewritten Client/Server communication to cut the bandwidth usage in half
- New gamemode "Race". Try to get from start to end of a level as fast as possible. Available as free-for-all and team variant. Further allows to play with or without a qualification period.
- Added several new weapons (on-hand Grappling Hook, Port-O-Launch, T.A.G. Seeker, Heavy Laser Assault Cannon, Rifle)
- Map editor NetRadiant included
- Improved all effects for eye candy and tweakability
- All maps recompiled with external lightmaps which allow for much crisper shadows
- Added maps desertfactory (DM, TDM, MinstaGib), racetrack (Race) and made aggressor support Key Hunt
- New player sounds, announcer sounds/voices, textures, crosshairs, weapon models, effects and menu skins
- Added support for video capture to OggTheora
- Integrated the Havoc mod into the menu! Havoc servers use quite different physics and weapons, give it a try!
- Fixed a crash with ATI drivers on shutdown or vid_restart
- Fixed several problems with lagging gameplay/crashes/wrong display of effects
- Improved bots (teamworking, bunnyhopping, swimming, better way finding, support for ladders, less CPU usage, faster map loading)
- Better visual display of carried items (Strength, Shield, flags and keys)
- Better parental guidance support with cl_gentle and cl_nogibs
- Lots of tourney-related features (timeout/in, spectator-slots, allready, warmup mode, lockteams, unlockteams, movetoteam_red/blue/…, nospectators, records, cointoss)
- Added some effects customization options like cl_casings, cl_weaponpriority
- Many more map entities allowing for more dynamic maps
- Restructured and improved menu: demos menu and multiple campaigns are back, also added an advanced menu containing ALL settings of the game
For a more complete list of changes see: https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=672474&group_id=81584
As usual, you can download the newest release from our download page.
If you are providing a mirror of the release, please notify us so we can add it to the official mirror list. For any comments, suggestions or questions, please refer to our forum or the FAQ.
Because of many major changes there is NO PATCH available.
To make sure nothing breaks, you should use a new directory to unzip Nexuiz 2.5!
If you use 2.5 and see a server with no gametype it's an 2.4.2 server, don't play on those. :)
Alientrap is also currently looking for new coders, modelers, mappers and people experienced with creating sound effects. If you feel like helping improve Nexuiz or Zymotic please contact the team via forum or IRC.
You can Download Nexuiz Here. To run Nexuiz, extract the files anywhere on your computer and run the executable. Try GLX first and if you experience problems, you hardware maybe better suited for the SDL version. The main difference between the two is the software libraries they are compiled for.
If you'd like to spread the word, it's a good idea to share the Nexuiz 2.5 release on your facebook account. You can digg it here: http://digg.com/pc_games/Nexuiz_2_5_is_released

Rio+20: Will it help save the planet or just be another useless meeting?
By Tom Paulson
The threats to our well-being (well beyond climate change now) are quite real. The goals of Rio+20 – to arrive at consensus on what's needed to avoid continuing this massive fouling of our nest – are perhaps more important to our future than any other meeting we could hope to hold.
So you'd think there would be some urgency to achieve something. Don't hold your breath.

My husband was the second owner of the home so we know the original owner had the stoves installed. As you can see they are identical except for the emblem on the front reading number 14 B Economy. Would they have been made by the Nye Stove Co. of Marietta, and what are they worth? - J.W., Whipple.

Sun Life: Regulatory Review to Delay U.S. Annuity Unit Sale
Sun Life Financial said the New York Department of Financial Services' approval process will delay the company's sale of its U.S. annuity business and certain life-insurance businesses beyond the second quarter.
The Canadian life insurer agreed in December to sell the U.S. annuity business to Delaware Life Holdings beyond for $1.35 billion as part of an effort to lower its risk profile and earnings volatility.
Sun Life said it has since obtained approvals from the Delaware Department of Insurance, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and other regulators.
However, the New York Department of Financial Services has recently undertaken a review of private investor groups as owners of annuity businesses, a process Sun Life said will delay the close past its expected second-quarter close.
The company didn't specify a new timeframe for the deal's expected closing.
Shares closed Thursday at $29.73 and were inactive premarket. The stock is up 12% so far this year.

double-barrel shotgun
I had some fun at the Vice President's expense last week, after he said a double-barrel shotgun was better than an AR for home defense, (see Stand your Ground with a double-barrel shotgun).
As a matter of fact, a lot of gunwriters had fun at the Vice President's expense…
Now, however, the Vice President has doubled-down on his earlier comments, and added a bit more advice – advice that's very, very dangerous.
In an interview with Field and Stream, Vice President Biden recommended shooting through a closed door, with a shotgun of course, to keep intruders out of your home.
Here's an excerpt:
F&S: What about the other uses, for self-defense and target practice?
BIDEN: Well, the way in which we measure it is—I think most scholars would say—is that as long as you have a weapon sufficient to be able to provide your self-defense. I did one of these town-hall meetings on the Internet and one guy said, "Well, what happens when the end days come? What happens when there's the earthquake? I live in California, and I have to protect myself."
I said, "Well, you know, my shotgun will do better for you than your AR-15, because you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door." Most people can handle a shotgun a hell of a lot better than they can a semi-automatic weapon in terms of both their aim and in terms of their ability to deter people coming. We can argue whether that's true or not, but it is no argument that, for example, a shotgun could do the same job of protecting you. Now, granted, you can come back and say, "Well, a machine gun could do a better job of protecting me." No one's arguing we should make machine guns legal.
As I said in my earlier story, I have nothing but respect for the Vice President's political skills, but he's certainly not a firearms trainer, and his advice is tactically unsound.
Imagine a homeowner's plight after they discharge two loads of 12 gauge buck through their front door, only to find their spouse, who had run out to get milk or cigarettes, laying in a pool of their own blood.
Imagine finding your drunken neighbor dying of gunshot wounds on your doorstep, after he mistakenly thought he was trying to open his own front door, or a kid playing a prank, or a FEDEX driver, the mailman, a teenage son or daughter sneaking back into the house, or about a thousand other plausible scenarios…
Unless you're blessed with x-ray vision, don't shoot through doors – period. It's bad advice. It doesn't work at the Vice President's home in Greenville, Delaware or in Sarasota, Florida.
I've met Vice-President Joe Biden, shaken his hand and interviewed him and his son Beau several times. I was a reporter in the The First State for five years. It's a small state – only three counties. Eventually everyone meets the Bidens.
The Veep is a warm gregarious fella, kind of like a favorite uncle. He's a close talker. He invades your personal space a bit and taps you on the chest to make a point, but with Joe you don't mind.
The Vice-President has held public office for more than 40 years. He was first elected to New Castle County Council in 1970, which was followed by six terms as a U.S. Senator and then his current job.
He's a skilled politician, no doubt. A firearms expert, however, he is not.
In an online chat Tuesday, Biden said he told his wife that if she's ever threatened at their home in Greenville, a wealthy suburb of Wilmington, she should use his double-barrel shotgun to defend herself.
"I said Jill, if there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out and put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house," he said.
Biden never mentioned what his wife's Secret Service protective detail would be doing, other than having conniptions, while she was firing volleys off the porch. By the way, I know these lawmen aren't carrying double-barrel 12 gauges. Secret Service agents carry FN P90s, and these select-fire "assault rifles" hold 50 rounds.
I'll let my colleague Jeremy handle the politics of the VP's comments on his site. From a tactical standpoint, however, I smell some of that malarkey Joe's always going on about.
What seems to have riled gun owners most was Biden's statement that an AR would be a poor choice for home defense. They're more difficult to aim and more difficult to use than a shotgun, he said. Besides, no one needs 30 rounds to defend themselves, right?
This is bunk.
First off, the 30-round magazine reference is nonsense to anyone who's ever had to rely on a firearm to defend themselves. I've never been a politician, but I have been in a few gunfights. I was never penalized for having ammunition left over when the fight was done. Who can say how much ammunition is too much? Sometimes the ruffians won't scatter after two rounds of buckshot. Sometimes they need a little more encouragement.
As to the choice of weapons, I agree with the Vice-President. A double-barrel shotgun would make a great home defense gun, if it was 1890.
Nowadays there are much better options.
The versatility of the AR platform allows the operator to mount a host of accessories such as lights, sights and lasers, all of which can aid a sleepy homeowner at 2 am, when investigating a suspicious noise.
Given its enhanced ergonomics, light recoil and quick reload time, with the right ammunition the AR is one of the best home defense options, and certainly one of the most popular. It's "America's Gun," the best selling rifle in the country.
Besides, if the AR is so hard to aim and so difficult to use, why are we issuing select-fire ARs to our troops?
Maybe we should replace them with double-barrel shotguns.

Mobilarma 798 is a premium performance, oil-based rust preventive intended to
serve as a wire rope lubricant and to prevent rust and corrosion under
application and storage conditions. It is used in industrial, mining, and
marine applications. Mobilarma 798 has excellent film forming properties and
is of grease-like consistency. Its tenacious film protects wire ropes from the
corrosive tendencies of salt spray and moisture-laden atmospheres. Mobilarma

"That's all we heard about today is Gates, Gates, Gates," Steelers linebacker Larry Foote said on Wednesday of preparations for the Chargers.
Over at Chargers Park, the mantra could've been Miller, Miller, Miller.
The matchup between Steelers tight end Heath Miller and Chargers defenders could be pivotal.
Miller (6-foot-5, 256) leads Pittsburgh in catches (56) and TDs (7) and blocks well for a line on its third right tackle.
"He is an awfully good player and a complete player," Norv Turner said.
Miller had eight catches, two for two touchdowns, when the teams last met three years ago in Pittsburgh. The eight-year pro, who's on pace to set a career-high for catches, runs great routes and almost never drops the ball. He is heady (39 on the Wonderlic intelligence test).
The Chargers couldn't match up with Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez in Week Three. Last Sunday, a mixup between Demorrio Williams and Quentin Jammer led to Bengals tight end Jermaine Gresham's 19-yard touchdown catch.
Linebacker Jarett Johnson, an ex-Raven, is familiar with Miller, but the versatile tight end will go against several Chargers.
"He runs, he blocks and he catches," Turner said. "He is the perfect fit for their scheme."

Emergency Telephone Network
Clark maintains a network of 61 indoor and outdoor emergency telephones. The emergency telephones have been placed in areas where members of the University community could find themselves isolated or without method of communication, and thus more vulnerable. View a map of security phone locations.
Outdoor phones
Outdoor emergency phones—on blue poles and in yellow-colored boxes—are located in the following places:
- Maywood and Downing street parking lots
- by the Higgins Bistro walkway facing Jonas Clark Hall
- on levels of the parking garage
- on Woodland Street near Carriage House
- on Florence Street
- at the athletic fields
- outside the Downing Street School building
- outside of 87 Florence St.
- between Goddard Library and Kneller Athletic Center
- on the corner of Atwood Hall
- outside of 5 Maywood Place
- Downing Street between Wright and Dodd Hall
- Hawthorne Street entrance to administration lot
- Birch Street parking lot at Maywood and Birch streets
- near the 31 Maywood Street parking lot.
To use the outdoor phone, students, faculty and staff should push the emergency button on the blue pole or inside the yellow box (open the steel door first) to create an automatic connection to University Police that cannot be disconnected. University Police automatically know which box has been used. A microphone in the box allows University Police to hear anyone using the phone.
Indoor phones
Indoor emergency phones are red and are located throughout campus buildings and in all elevators. To use the indoor phone, students, faculty and staff should simply pick up the receiver, and the call will immediately ring in University Police on an emergency line.
The University Police Department is constantly evaluating the effectiveness of the emergency telephone system and is evaluating possible sites for additional phones.

Aside from the fact that Merlin creators Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy wouldn't be involved (having left Shine TV for pastures new at the end of series five) little has been heard about the mooted spin-off for the BBC fantasy show.
Last last November, Broadcast reported that Shine was looking to develop a potential Merlin spin-off set in the same world and featuring characters from the Arthurian series, though if one of those characters is Arthur Pendragon, Bradley James won't be the man to play him.
Speaking to the LA Times, James confirmed that a spin-off "...was something discussed, but I think it's time for me to hang up the chain mail, to be honest with you, and pass the mantle on to the next person who shall take on the throne of Arthur Pendragon. The post-Merlin era is an exciting time to look forward to… Variety is the spice of life. That's the fantastic thing about acting is all the different challenges it can provide you with. To limit yourself just to one would be foolish, therefore I'm looking forward to different things that come my way."

New study links masturbation and prostate cancer
Give That Thing A Rest
New study links masturbation and prostate cancer
by John Casey
| Print Page | Email to Friend
Given the bind that many prominent American men have thrust themselves into think Tiger Woods, Mark Sanford, Eliot Spitzer, et al. it seems it really is possible to have too much of a good thing. And your prostate gland appears to agree.
According to a new research out of the UK, men who have frequent sex in their twenties and thirties were at a greater risk of developing prostate cancer later in life. What's even more unusual is that researchers showed that young men who masturbated frequently, as opposed to those who have sex frequently with a partner, were at an even greater risk of developing prostate cancer.
The study was led by Dr. Polyxeni Dimitropoulou of the University of Cambridge. She and her colleagues used questionnaires to examine the sexual histories of more than 400 men who had been diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 60, together with more than 400 control subjects.
Image View Removed. For more information, please contact our forum admins by clicking here.
The men were asked a battery of questions about the sex in their lives, including age of first sexual activity, frequency of masturbation and intercourse, numbers of sexual partners and history of sexually transmitted diseases.
"We were keen to look at the links between sexual activity and younger men as a lot of prostate cancer studies focus on older men as the disease is more prevalent in men over 50," Dimitropoulou said.
Frequent Sex and Hormone Levels
Since prostate cancer is known to be associated with male hormone levels, the researchers used frequency of sex as a proxy. They theorized that a man who had lots of sex when young would have had higher hormone levels driving the urge. Thus, highly sexed men men who had sex more than 20 times a month, according to the study should be more prone to prostate cancer.
"Overall we found a significant association between prostate cancer and sexual activity in a man's twenties and between masturbation and prostate cancer in the twenties and thirties," said Dimitropoulou. "However there was no significant association between sexual activity and prostate cancer in a man's forties."
When they crunched the data further, the researchers found that men with prostate cancer later in life had been in the "highest frequency groups in each decade when it came to sexual activity" including both intercourse and masturbation. This was most pronounced in men who "were also more likely to masturbate frequently than men in the control group, with the greatest difference in the twenties and thirties," according to the researchers.

.....I always heard it was the opposite. Leave it to the UK to **** up the works. I always thought that prostate cancer was caused by not cleaning the pipes enough.

I've recently made a website for a brand at the company I work for, i'm attempting to add new tabs such as Home/Welcome, Products, About us, Contact us.
I've made the page and gave it a parent as I am aware you need to do.
I've set the theme location header navigation to the home menu I've created, every page I've add to it makes a new tab like I want it to but on the first page, I've named welcome it list's all the info all the other pages have on them.
I've tried to add another menu such as a Products Avail one but nothing will show up on the website, not even the name.
So under my Home menu I've made a welcome, Products Avail and Contact us page.
Welcome will display all of the Products Avail and Contact Us details.
If I click the Products Avail tab it has made along the top line of the website (the tabs I want to make) it will take me to the page I want but it has no tabs at the top like the first page and only the info for that page and nothing else
I have no idea what I am doing wrong or how this is happening.
I'm also using the Your Company theme from Themeforest, if that helps.
Thank you in advance for any help!

This article describes how animal manure can be utilized by converting it into activated carbons. These activated carbons are then utilized to adsorb unwanted pollutants because of their high porosity. The animal manure will eventually help to remove odors from drinking water supplies and help to limit the levels of metal contaminants released from waste water facilities. This article discusses the ongoing active research on conversion of poultry manure in the US.

KINGSTON — An Ulster County tourism advertisement was recently honored with an award.
The "Ulster County Playground" video was given a 2013 Bronze Telly, the organization's second highest award.
The 30 second ad begins with city slickers exasperated with their rooftop putting green and exercise bike.
The ad then cuts to shots of happy families biking and horseback riding in the Shawangunk Ridge, tubing along the Esopus Creek, and taking the Rip Van Winkle sightseeing cruise along the Hudson.

Diablo 3 Official Launching May 15 – Digital Pre-Sales NOW OPEN
Today, I logged in my Battlenet Account to play my favorite game Starcraft 2 as usual and I could not believe in my eyes: Diablo 3 Official Released Date was announced finally!
Jumping up and down, I felt so happy with this incredible news that it took me awhile to keep calm. I called MRMK to scream out loud in happiness. The wait is finally over! I still remember the feeling of waiting patiently for Starcraft 2 and when the game was released, there was no words could describe how happy I felt. I even invited my two close friends MRMK and CAPRIKNIGHT to come over my house to celebrate when I got the disc. It was so much fun!
And now, we are gonna have another adventure with this game: Diablo 3!
Diablo 3 Official Released Date Revealed!
This is the announcement on Diablo 3 Community at Battlenet:
"The End of Days approaches…. Diablo III will be unleashed from the Burning Hells on May 15, 2012, and you can be ready to play the minute the servers go live by pre-purchasing the game digitally on Battle.net today"
I have already pre-purchased Diablo 3 because I can't wait to get the disc. The purchase process is pretty simple. All I have to do is logging in my account on Battlenet and providing credit card number to purchase. Within a minute, the transaction is done! The cost is 90 USD, which is more expensive than Starcraft 2 (65 USD, as far as I can remember).
"Beginning May 15, players around the world will be able to return to Tristram to discover the dark secrets of a fallen star and begin their quest to save Sanctuary from the impending demonic invasion. To secure your place as a barbarian, monk, demon hunter, witch doctor, or wizard right now, simply log in to your Battle.net account, and then purchase and download Diablo III, and you'll be ready to play when the game launches."
As you can see, the benefit of pre-purchasing the digital version of Diablo 3 is you can play the game as soon as the game launches! How can I wait a single day for the disc to deliver at my house, right?
The problem is it will take me a long time to download the digital version from Blizzard Server. The file is huge (7.60 GB)! But this should not be a big deal, I will just leave my PC there to download it overnight.
Diablo 3 – Get it FREE if you are playing WOW
One more thing, if you are playing World of Warcraft, I suggest you sign up for the Annual Pass and make a 1-year commitment, you will be able to get Diablo 3 for FREE with exclusive bonus!
"World of Warcraft players interested in getting Diablo III for free can still get in on the World of Warcraft Annual Pass, but the promotion will be ending at 12:01 a.m. PDT on May 1, 2012. When you sign up for the Annual Pass and make a 1-year commitment to World of Warcraft, you'll receive a free digital copy of Diablo III, an exclusive World of Warcraft in-game mount (Tyrael's Charger), as well as access to the upcoming World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria beta test."
If you are a fan of Diablo 3, please share your thoughts in the comment section below! Keep in mind, May 15th, we will celebrate this in Burning Hell!

Top bird loves: ballet prints
I've always been a ballet girl so the flurry of pirouettes, pliés and pointe shoes on the catwalks recently piqued my interest.
Whilst ballerina-style isn't anything new on the runway, ballet graphics took centre stage this season.
Take Matthew Williamson, for instance, and the graphic ballerina print at his pre-Fall 2008 show in New York. His inspiration? Diaghilev's revolutionary Ballet Russes and La Bayadère (The Temple Dancer).
Then came Australian designer Marnie Skillings, and the dreamy painterly ballerinas leaping across her aw2008 dresses.
Meanwhile on the high street, Britain's Queen of Prints Cath Kidston released her Spring 2008 line-up, showcasing a delightful '50s-style ballerina print for children.
Ballerina pencil case, £8.00; Ballerina mini bag, £6.00; Ballerina mini cushion, £6.00, all from Cath Kidston.
All these nostaglic ballet references sent me hunting on Etsy for those awesome kitsch plastic ballerina decorations that were the stuff of eight-year-old's birthday cake dreams.
Giant ballerina cake toppers, US$6.75 for a set of three, from A. Bel. Emporium's Etsy shop and Pink ballerina cupcake toppers, US$4 for a set of six, from Sweet Poppy's Etsy shop.
