Relative incidence of death within a particular group categorized according to age or some other factor such as occupation.
Use mortality in a sentence
The mortality rate of people in a high-risk job, such as a fire fighter, is much higher than with people in a low-risk job, such as a dance instructor.
The life insurance industry is interested in determining rates of mortality for different ethnic and socioeconomic groups to generate actuarial tables for their policies.
The newest outbreak of the disease was very concerning because it had much higher rate of mortality even with the newest treatments in place.

NEW MADRID -- New Madrid County Central senior Hunter Borton will perform in front of an audience of 10,000 people this weekend at the opening ceremonies of the National Kidney Foundation U.S. Transplant Games in Pittsburgh, Pa.
According to the event's Web site, the games are an Olympic-style event for athletes who have received life-saving organ transplants of every type -- kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas and bone marrow. Transplant athletes will compete for gold, silver and bronze medals in 12 different sports, including track and field, swimming, tennis, basketball, cycling and golf.
Borton performed at an organ donation function in St. Louis recently called the Sunday Sabbath. With encouragement from Mid America Transplant Services, which hosted the event, he said he sent in a CD of himself singing to the national foundation, hoping to be able to sing the National Anthem at the games.
After no news of the decision for quite a while, Borton thought he wasn't chosen to perform. But when his mom received a call with the news about six weeks ago, he said he was "ecstatic."
Borton's mother, Beth, described the news as "very emotional."
Organ donation is something close to the Bortons' hearts. Hunter's father, Ralph, died three years ago and his organs were donated. His mother called the opportunity for Hunter to sing at the event an "honor and tribute to his dad."
Along with singing at the opening ceremonies, Borton, his mother and his two siblings, Elias and Hilary, are participating in the 5K run. While he hasn't prepared much for the run, he said it is something he is looking forward to. Mrs. Borton added that the 5K is one of the few things donor families can participate in because most of the games are strictly for transplant recipients.
She noted it is "very rare" to go to the Games as a donor family. In fact, in the 100 or so people going to Pittsburgh from St. Louis and the surrounding areas, only eight of them are members of donor families. The Bortons make up half of that eight.
Borton will sing Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying" on Saturday night, a song that he said he is familiar with already and didn't take long to "get it down." He described how fitting the song is for the games.
"People there have had organ transplants or have donated organs. They've had a second chance at life," he said.
However, this will be the first time Borton performs with a live band rather than just a CD track, and it will be his biggest audience.
"I haven't sang in front of that many people before," he said, noting that his biggest audience yet was 2,000 people at the St. Louis event.
Nervous or not, performing at the Transplant Games is a big opportunity for Borton, with special meaning because of his father.
"It really means a lot to me," he said. "And, I know it would mean a lot to him.".

I wrote this page after all five of my close early-transitioning friends told me they had no idea what a woman's vagina looked like. They basically had no idea what to say to the surgeon to express concerns. One friend wrote about her labiaplasty:
As they prepared to give me the general, and Dr. Schrang walked into the O.R., he asked me if I had any special requests, to which I responded quite truthfully, "Uh, I don't know." He then asked me if my clitoris was too large, and I kind of stared at him, and answered, "I have no idea." It was very amusing, and I think the anaesthesiologist had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing.
Luckily, she trusted the surgeon to make everything look right, but it would have been better if she had common points of reference for a discussion of cosmetic and functional outcomes. I was very surprised how badly my friends wanted a vagina, but really didn't know what exactly it was they wanted. It seems to me that they were more interested in not having a penis than in what they'd end up with.
Turns out it's not just younger Transsexuals, either. The day after I put up this page, a friend who is older than I am sent me this note:
You can add me to the group who had no idea what I would end up with, I just knew it was a lot better than what I had. I will be quite honest with you here, please don't post this with my name or spread knowledge of my ignorance around. I had very little idea of what I would end up with. I knew I would have Labia and a vaginal cavity, but I had no idea what the urethra was or where it would be located. I knew very little about the clitoris or its position or function. The mons pubis was a total mystery to me until I bumped it too hard!
I feel that awareness and understanding of your genitalia is fundamental to ownership and control of your own body. Not just in a sexual sense, either. You need to be aware of all the parts and attendant joys and difficulties.
Keep in mind that while almost every woman's anatomy is basically the same, each person is also different. Differences in size, colour and shape are completely normal. Like penises, women's external genitalia vary quite significantly. If you have aesthetic or functional concerns either before or after surgery, contact your health care provider.
So, without further ado, let's look at what's inside first.
Male Anatomy
The bladder, which holds urine, is found right behind your pubic bone. When you have to urinate, you empty your bladder through your urethra. In male genitalia, the urethra is longer and goes through the penis and out the end. In S.R.S., the surgeon shortens the urethra so it's more like the female urethra.
The colon is where solid waste is held until you expel it from the anus.
The bone behind the colon is your spine. The bone in front of your bladder is your pubic bone. Attached to the pubic bone are your abdominal muscles.
Areas removed during S.R.S. include the testicles or testes, where most male hormones (testosterone), sperm, and some semen are produced. Once the testicles are removed, your production of male hormones is virtually eliminated, and you are no longer able to produce sperm. Also removed is most of the spongy erectile tissue inside the penis. (Trivia buffs: This tissue is called the corpus spongiosum.)
In S.R.S., the skin from the penis and scrotum is usually used for making the lining of your vagina, as well as making the features of your vulva or external genitalia (discussed below).
A small amount of tissue at the tip of the penis is used to make your clitoris (see below).
Now, you may think this paragraph is gross or unimportant, but you need to understand how semen is produced. Please read this! Semen is the white milky fluid that males ejaculate when they have an orgasm. Semen has only a tiny amount of sperm, which can fertilize a female egg and produce a baby. The rest is a mixture of other fluids: nutrients for the sperm from the seminal vesicles, mucus from the Cowper's gland, and an alkaline secretion from the prostate (this alkaline offsets the acids found inside the vagina, so the sperm aren't killed as they travel into the uterus). The prostate is a gland that is at the base of the bladder. If you look at the diagram above, you'll see that semen travels from the testes through a tube called the vas deferens. The vas deferens eventually connects with the urethra at a juncture near the prostate. When males ejaculate (come), muscles around the prostate and other glands contract and shoot the semen and sperm out the end of the penis.
Important note: Surgeons do not remove the prostate gland and Cowper's gland in the current techniques.
This means you will have some secretions when aroused from these glands. This will usually not be enough for lubrication during sex, but you will have some.
Also, for this reason, it's important to have a prostate exam whenever you have a gynaecological exam. Prostate cancer is a major killer, although the likelihood in transsexual women is probably significantly reduced. Still, you should have it checked regularly along with your breasts and vagina, especially after age 35.
Female Anatomy
The bladder, which holds urine, is found right behind your pubic bone. When you have to urinate, you empty your bladder through your urethra. In female genitalia, the urethra is shorter. It's located between the clitoris and the vagina. You'll notice there tends to be a general difference in the size and placement of the bladder between males and females.
The colon. This is where solid waste is held until you expel it.
The bone behind the colon is your spine. The bone in front of your bladder is your pubic bone. Attached to the pubic bone are your abdominal muscles. Generally, the male pubic bone is a bit more prominent and larger.
Areas not constructed as part of current S.R.S. techniques are reproductive organs in natal females. They are the organs that allow egg production, ovulation, pregnancy and childbirth, menstruation, etc. These include:
- Cervix - The base of the uterus which extends into the vaginal canal. In its centre is a small opening into the uterus, called the cervical or (mouth).
- Uterus (womb) - The pear-shaped muscular organ situated in the pelvic cavity that receives and holds the fertilized ovum (egg). This is where it grows for about nine months until it is born.
- Ovaries - The two small organs located on either side of the uterus, in which ova (eggs) are stored and grow to maturation. The ovaries are the female equivalent of the testes in males. They are the place where female hormones (oestrogen and progesterone) are produced. That's why you have to take female hormones even after S.R.S.. The ovaries are also where eggs are produced.
- Fallopian tubes (oviducts) - The two small tubes which extend from the ovaries to the uterus, through which eggs travel. About once a month, a mature egg travels down the fallopian tube (the equivalent of the vas deferens in males). If the egg is fertilized with sperm as it travels down the fallopian tube, it becomes a foetus.
Important note: One thing I want to emphasise is that not having female reproductive organs doesn't mean you aren't a real woman. Many females are born without some or all of these parts, or their parts have some condition so that they are not able to have children. The ability to bear children is by no means the essence of womanhood.
As you can see, there isn't a huge difference physiologically. Basically, the surgeon simply removes the inside of the penis and testicles, and then uses the skin to make a vagina, clitoris, labia, and a shorter urethra. All of this is discussed in detail below.
Vulva (vul-vuh) - The vulva is a collective term used to describe the visible external genital organs, extending from the mons pubis to the perineum. The external genitalia consist of the clitoris and clitoral hood, and the labia majora and labia minora.
Mons pubis (Mahns pew-bis) - The soft fatty tissue covered with pubic hair which lies on top of the pubic bone. You have this before surgery. After surgery, your clitoris will be on the lower part of the mons pubis.
Labia majora (lay-be-uh muh-jo-ruh) - Labia majora means "large lips" in Latin. The labia majora are the large, outer lips of the vulva that extend from the mons pubis down either side of the vulva. They are covered by pubic hair and contain fatty tissue under the skin. The soft folds of skin which form flaps on the outer part of the vulva. In sex-reassignment surgery, these are fashioned from scrotal tissue.
Labia minora (lay-be-uh-My-nor-uh) - Labia minora means "small lips" in Latin. The labia minora are the smaller, fleshy inner-lips of the vulva that are inside the labia majora and closer to the vaginal opening. The folds within the labia majora which surround and cover the openings of the urethra and the vagina. They are not covered by pubic hair. The size, colour, and shape of the labia minora varies a great deal. Some natal women even have larger inner-lips than outer. These tend to be not as pronounced in transsexual women, especially in those who opt for a one-stage S.R.S. with no labiaplasty follow-up.
Clitoris (clit-or-is) - The clitoris is a small, firm, rounded organ at the top of the vulva within the labia majora, just above the urethra, that measures about 1/4 of an inch - that's just about the size of a pencil eraser. The clitoris is an important organ for female sexual responsiveness. It is composed of erectile tissue and blood vessels. The clitoris is formed from the head of the penis during surgery.
The external part of the clitoris, called the glans, is covered by a hood of skin. It is connected to a shaft which extends upwards internally toward the pubic bone. During surgery, the same shaft of nerves that extends through the penis is used to form a shaft that you can feel around the clitoris and sometimes on the upper side of the vagina.
When the clitoris is aroused, it fills with blood, becoming harder and more sensitive. The sole purpose of the clitoris is sexual sensation and if sufficiently stimulated it will produce orgasm. Many Transsexuals focus on vaginal orgasms (stimulation caused by penetration), but for most Transsexuals and genetic women, it's much easier to have an orgasm through direct clitoral stimulation with a finger, vibrator, partner's tongue, or a partner rubbing or bumping their mons pubis against yours.
Size and position of clitoris during surgery is an important aesthetic and functional consideration. While natal women vary greatly in clitoral size, it's not unusual for transsexual women to have a larger than average clitoris. Sometimes, it's well outside normal female range. Most surgeons are well aware of this potential outcome and take steps to avoid it. It's also not unusual for the clitoris to be in a slightly unusual position. This is especially true when a surgeon attempts to accommodate a patient's request for a lot of depth.
Urethra (You-ree-thruh) - The urethra is a short tube connected to the bladder that transports urine to the urethral opening. This opening can be seen as a very small, v-shaped dimple below the clitoris. During surgery, the surgeon removes the spongy penile tissue that surrounds the urethra and uses the urethral tube itself for your new urethra.
It's not uncommon in transsexual women to have a slightly more pronounced and wider urethra. It's also fairly common for the urine stream to go in a more forward direction than in natal women. This might mean you have to sit back on the toilet a bit more and lean forward some. No biggie.
Vagina - The muscular canal that leads from the vaginal opening. It is a narrow tunnel that usually measures between three and six inches in length. The vaginal opening is called the introitus, through which flows vaginal discharge. A certain degree of vaginal discharge is normal, and may change in consistency depending on the hormones present. Because a constructed vagina will not have the same glandular secretions, you may experience dryness, irritation or even infection.
In S.R.S., the vagina is formed by removing the spongy penile tissue and forming a pocket inside the body. This new pocket is then lined with skin from the penis and scrotum, which is inverted (turned inside out) and tucked into the pocket.
Generally, transsexual women seem to have stronger muscles in the vagina. For this reason, it's important to dilate, not just to avoid losing depth, but also width. In fact, width will probably play a greater role in comfort during penetrative sex.
Perineum (Pair-in-ee-um) - The perineum is the area between the vagina and the anus.
Anus - The anus is the outer opening to the rectum and bowels. After puberty, pubic hair may grow around the anus, and the skin may darken in colour.
Hymen (not constructed during S.R.S.)- The hymen is a thin, delicate mucous membrane surrounding and partially covering the vaginal opening, which becomes stretched and/or broken when a finger, tampon, penis, or other object is inserted into the vagina. Despite myths to the contrary, it is not an indication of virginity.
Skene's ducts and Barthlolin's glands ( both not constructed during S.R.S.) both are somewhat mysterious. They're just under the skin and produce secretions believed to aid in lubrication and to ward off infection. You won't have either of 'em, so don't worry about 'em.
Photographs of variations
This page gets nearly four times the hits of any other page on my site, ranging from teenage girls seeking information to men seeking masturbatory material.
Because of the latter, there are very few free sites online that depict non-pornographic photos of women's genitalia. These sites get clogged with traffic, which can be very expensive. That's why there are no photos available on my site.
The-Clitoris.com has a great site that discusses a variety of topics about women's sexuality. Due to the problems described above, the owner had to take the photo section offline and make it available by invitation only. However, it's worth joining the discussion list, which contains descriptions and photos of female genitalia in the incredible diversity of shapes, sizes and colours.
For an excellent published example of the variety, check out Joani Blank's Femalia. Published by Down There Press; 32 photos; I.S.B.N.-13 978 0940208156.
A lot of Transsexuals are obsessed about vaginal depth. Most natal women have between three to six inches of depth, which is plenty in the majority of sexual encounters with men. The largest dilator given out by most surgeons is larger than an average penis. If you can accommodate this dilator, you shouldn't have problems accommodating most men. If you find yourself with a man who has a larger than average penis, it's quite likely he has met many natal women who had difficulty accommodating him as well.
Most women I know who have had the penile inversion technique with a scrotal graft have had 5 - 6 inches of depth, with one a little past seven inches.
After surgery
Besides not knowing (or wanting to know) what their surgical outcome should look like, many Transsexuals are squeamish about seeing what their outcome does look like. Even more are afraid to see what it feels like. Check things out every now and then - it's very important to be aware of your body. Having hang-ups or being disgusted by your own body can lead to serious mental and medical problems.
The following info is largely from the wonderful Kotex website :
When it comes to your body, you're the biggest expert around. After all, you live there; you know its workings best. But no matter how young or old you are, your body's shape, hormones and capabilities are changing, in teeny, almost imperceptible ways, all the time. So you owe it to yourself to know what's going on, inside and out.
Outer genitals
The best way to become familiar with what's down there is the same way you learned about other parts of your body: by looking at them. However, these particular parts are rather inconveniently placed for direct staring-at-them purposes. Therefore, you might wish to consult an illustration, or better yet, use a mirror to hold between your legs. Most S.R.S. surgeons supply a hand mirror, but if not, go buy one or use one from a compact.
That whole area you're looking at is called the vulva, a.k.a. "external genitalia."
At the top of the genital region, where your pubic hair begins, you'll feel a round bone called the mons. Check out below. See the soft flaps of skin? These are the labia majora (outer lips). Inside the protective outer lips, you'll find another, more delicate pair of lips called the labia minora (inner lips). There's a lot of variation in appearance here: Some women's inner-lips are bigger than their outer ones, some are more wrinkled or paler or darker or whatever.
Between your inner-lips, high up, is a protective fold of skin. This is called the clitoral hood. If you pull it back gently, you'll expose a teeny, round bulge. This is your clitoris, which plays an important, positive role in a woman's sexuality. The clitoris is rich with nerve endings and extremely sensitive.
Just below your clitoris you'll see a small opening, the urethra. This is the opening through which you urinate. Continuing downward, below your urethra, you'll see a larger opening, which is your vagina.
Don't be squeamish about touching everything. It's really important to feel around and get a sense of what you have. A good place to feel around can be in the shower when you're washing the area.
Inner genitals
You should also put your fingers up into your vagina to see how it feels. Do it in the shower, or on the bed just prior to dilation.
Use a little lubrication. I can tell you from experience that it feels just like the inside of a natal woman's vagina.
Also, I recommend checking out my page on Dilating for more information on care and maintenance.
Similarities to non-Transsexual genitalia
In 2001, a reader sent along this good news after she and her non-transsexual female partner did some careful exploring of each other:
My partner and I ordered some toys from a wonderful shop in Seattle, and I noticed that for six dollars I could pick up a speculum. With the help of a pen light and a hand mirror, we explored one another and I made the most delightful discovery.
The only visible difference between our vaginas is that at the termination of hers is a tiny, round donut-shaped depression about the size of a pencil eraser (her cervix). I'd heard the results looked good to OB/ GYNs anecdotally, but seeing it myself made me irrationally happy. I think I'd imagined this would look different, that perhaps scar lines would be visible or the character of the tissues would be noticeably different. That six dollars is one of my best investments to date and, as I imply, assuaged some unarticulated trepidation I had.

A mysterious sound filled the air in Manchester last night despite high winds drowning out the noise of the busy city centre.
Some residents living in trendy Deansgate and shoppers took to Twitter in their droves to describe an "ominous howl".
The eerie noise kept many city-dwellers awake as winds of up to 70 mph battered the region, with many tall buildings being evacuated for safety reasons.
But what is the strange sound that sounds like an alien mothership descending on Manchester?
In fact, the noise has caused ringing in the ears of annoyed residents who have given a name to their pain: the Beetham Tower Howl.
The loud 250hz frequency can be heard all the way around the two square mile city centre and in suburban areas like Chorlton and Miles Platting.
What is that noise? That unearthly hum? Might be about to be kidnapped by aliens #Manchester #NQ— Marie Pattison (@seeninthestreet) February 12, 2014
In 2012, red-faced architect Ian Simpson apologised to Manchester for the din caused by his design flaw in the 47-story skyscraper.
The building is the tallest residential block in Europe and also houses the Hilton Manchester hotel on Deansgate, and stands at 551ft.
Prof. Trevor Cox from the University of Salford, who teaches acoustic and audio engineering, explained in his blog how the notorious howl was caused.
He said: "The problem is caused by the glass and metal sculpture at the top of the building.
"When the wind rushes past the edge of the glass panes turbulence is created.
"This is very similar to how turbulence generates sound within a recorder."
What is that strange noise echo-ing through the city streets of Manchester? It's eerie.— Jo Wads (@JoMoFo) February 12, 2014
Prof. Cox added: "Inside the recorder there is an edge called the fipple, which breaks up the air flow when a musician blows into the mouthpiece.
"For the Beetham Tower, I suspect it is the resonance of the air between the deep glass panes which allows the hum to achieve such loud decibel values."
One woman living in close proximity likened the Beetham Tower Howl to "having a 550ft child standing outside your front door whining. But louder".
Another man said the hum was like the sound of an army of drunk "vuvuzela enthisiasts", the much-hated trumpet that became infamous in the 2010 World Cup.
There's a low, evil, end-of-the-world noise in Manchester piccadilly as the wind howls round the buildings x— Martin Cooper (@MartCoopsCooper) February 12, 2014
Hurricane force winds brought devastation to the west coast on Wednesday and floods have paralysed much of the south-west.
More bad weather is expected over the weekend.

Worldox TechTalk TV Electrifies 2010 Annual ALA Conference With 17 ALA Member And Legal Technology Vendor Video Interviews Online
Ridgewood, NJ – May 7, 2010 – World Software Corporation® (www.worldox.com) has announced that its Worldox TechTalk TV (www.worldox.com/techtalktv) online program at the 2010 Annual ALA Conference in Boston was a runaway success. World Software President Ray Zwiefelhofer interviewed 17 different ALA members and legal technology vendor companies, including the ALA's Legal Management magazine editor-in-chief John Delavan. The interviews can be viewed on the Worldox TechTalk TV site.
Zwiefelhofer notes, "Worldox TechTalk TV covered the ALA Annual Conference from a technology perspective. Many legal technology product and service companies exhibit and speak at the ALA Conference, and it has become an important venue to help legal administrators stay abreast of technology trends and innovations. Legal administrators often make or influence decisions about technology purchases at their law firms, so their access to quality information like trends and best practices is essential."
Worldox TechTalk TV interviews were fed through the ALA Conference's Twitter stream and the show was featured on Legal IT Professionals http://litn.eu/wox01. According to Zwiefelhofer, Worldox is going to continue the TechTalk TV program at the ILTA Annual Conference in Nashville in August 2010.

We drove up to Stoneham, Quebec yesterday hoping for some skiing. There was only about 1 inch of wet snow when we arrived here and this morning we were greeted with a steady rain. We took a short jog and did a little leg strength, then returned to our houses for some study time.
After an early lunch, we drove up to Foret. Luckily Foret is just far enough north to have recieved some wet snow from this storm. Here are some pictures from our ski. We skied on the river trail, it was a bit scratchy, but not too bad. We were able to ski 4-5 kms down and back and after a nice warm up, we worked on some no pole skiing and balance. It was great to get back on skis for a couple of hours!
The upper trails have more snow and the forecast is calling for colder temperatures, so we should be ok. Any additional snow will make it quite good.
More news tomorrow.

Large Church Super Bowl Parties Violate Copyright Law
Again this year, the NFL is objecting to large churches hosting Super Bowl Parties this Sunday if the game is screened on a TV screen larger than 55 inches. According to World Net Daily and the Christian Post, the copyright law (17 USC 110(5)(A)) grants only limited exceptions for the showing of copyrighted broadcasts, such as the Super Bowl. Sports bars with under 3750 square feet of space may freely show the broadcasts, but other establishments can do so freely only if they have less than 2000 square feet. Widespread showings to large audiences would cut into TV network ratings, and would in turn reduce advertising revenues. The NFL appears to be showing some flexibility this year, especially as home receivers now often exceed 55 inches. (See prior related posting.)
Posted by Howard Friedman --PermaLink: 8:58 AM
1 comment:
No, actually they are not showing any flexiblilty at all. They are holding strongly to their position. Under 2,000 square feet you can have as big a TV as you want and as many speakers. Over 2,000 square feet in a public place and your TV can't be bigger than 55" and you can't have more than 4 speakers. Period.

"Blues in Schools" Program Comes to Wiley Elementary
Students at Wiley Elementary received a special treat last Friday when local blues band, the Painkillers, performed at an all-school assembly. The performance was an introduction to Wiley's after-school program, Blues in Schools, that begins this week.
Blues in Schools is a program created and sponsored by the Prairie Crossroads Blues Society. Their mission is to bring blues education to students in the area. At Wiley, in addition to the kickoff concert with the Painkillers, they are providing an after-school harmonica program to 15 students in grades 3, 4 and 5. During the program, students will learn how to play the instrument, learn about blues structure, and learn the history of the blues.
This is just one way the Blues Society is bringing the blues to schools. This summer, they are collaborating with the Blues, Brews and BBQs festival and will be offering sessions at the Orpheum Theatre on Blues in Schools.

Postdoc position on new educational game research and development project
We are looking for a postdoc for a new large-scale educational games project, which will be officially announced and launched shortly. The project involves the development of a game for science learning for very young children (pre-K through grades 3), which beyond science learning will emphasize higher-level problem-solving skill and social-emotional learning. We will design and build a compelling and fun game from the ground up, and the project will involve a series of empirical studies to evaluate and document (sources of) the game's effectiveness.
The postdoc will help with the educational aspects of the project, including (but not limited to) cognitive task analysis to clarify educational objectives and student thinking, consulting with game designers, helping to ensure that the game design addresses these objectives according to established (or new!) learning principles, and helping with playtesting, formative evaluation, and research studies.
The project will most likely be carried out by collaborating teams within the Human-Computer Interaction Institute and the Entertainment Technology Center, led respectively by Vincent Aleven and Scott Stevens. The HCII team will include the following faculty: Justine Cassell, Matthew Kam, Ken Koedinger, and Carolyn Rosé.
Preferred qualifications: experience with instructional design or research for/with young children, educational game design experience, PhD in learning sciences, psychology, education, human-computer interaction, computer science, or a related field.
If interested, please send a CV, a couple of representative publications, and the names of about 3 references to:
Vincent Aleven
Human-Computer Interaction Institute
Carnegie Mellon University
Also direct all inquiries to this address. We are looking to fill the position soon.

The YMCA of San Joaquin County is holding a free community kids health event from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 5 at University Park in Stockton to help inspire kids to keep their minds and bodies active. Healthy Kids Day, the Y's national initiative to improve family health and well-being, features games, nutritional resources, arts and crafts, and more.
YMCA's Healthy Kids Day is supported by Health Plan of San Joaquin, Kaiser Permanente, St. Joseph Medical Center- Dignity Health, Sundance Running Group and University Park. It is celebrated at nearly 1,600 Ys across the country with the goal of helping to get kids moving and learning, so they can keep up the habit all summer long – a critical out-of-school time for kids' health. Research shows that without access to out-of-school physical and learning activities, kids fall behind academically. Kids also gain weight twice as fast during summer than the school year.
"One in three U.S. children is obese. This statistic, coupled with the fact that once summer hits, children will be more idle, demonstrates why it's important to help families develop healthy habits now," said Mike Vann, senior program director. "As part of the Y's commitment to healthy living, through YMCA's Healthy Kids Day our goal is to improve the health and well-being of kids and inspire habits they can continue into adulthood."
In celebration of YMCA's Healthy Kids Day, the Y offers the following tips to help families develop healthy habits:
• High Five the Fruits and Veggies – Make sure kids get at least five servings a day, the minimum number nutritionists recommend to maintain healthy childhood development.
• Foster an early and ongoing passion for books – Read to and with your kids. Help children read at every age and every stage of their development.
• Team up for athletic events – Set a family goal of great health by teaming up for community or charity events such as races, walks, fun runs, bike rides, etc.
• Volunteer together – Find a cause that matters to the kids. Open their eyes to a world beyond themselves and the rich rewards that come from making a difference.
• Lead by example – Be a good role model – kids can be influenced by seeing how hard their parents work at home or on the job, and how rewarding that experience is.

This Date in Devils History: June 24
Sunday, 06.24.2007 / 11:26 AM ET / News
New Jersey Devils
|On June 24, 1995, captain Scott Stevens and John MacLean helped hoist the first Championship in Devils' franchise history.
newjerseydevils.com – After 13 seasons, the Devils captured their first Stanley Cup title by defeating the Detroit Red Wings in the Championship final. Paced by the goaltending of Martin Brodeur and the timely scoring of Claude Lemieux, the Devils upset the favored Red Wings in four straight games, outscoring, outshooting and outplaying Detroit in each encounter.
Both teams took similar routes to the Final. Detroit lost only two games in the opening three rounds, although they did need a trio of overtime victories to subdue Chicago in the Western Conference Final. New Jersey dropped four games in the opening three rounds, including a pair to the Philadelphia Flyers in a stirring six-game Eastern Conference Final.
Lemieux, who scored only six times in the regular season, erupted for 13 goals in the playoffs and also won the Conn Smythe Trophy. Neal Broten, a 14-year veteran acquired by New Jersey late in the season from Dallas, notched four game-winning goals for the champions. Devils coach Jacques Lemaire, who won eight Stanley Cup rings as a player, became just the fourth person to score a Stanley Cup-winning goal and coach a Stanley Cup-winning team.

Growth is back for Cisco Systems: The San Jose tech giant on Wednesday reported a dramatic jump in sales and profit from a year ago, while CEO John Chambers announced plans to hire 2,000 to 3,000 people in the coming months.
"We are entering the second phase of the economic recovery," Chambers told analysts, after reporting that Cisco's profit rose 23 percent in the quarter that ended Jan. 23, compared with a year ago, while sales rose by 8 percent. The results exceeded the company's own forecast, as well as analysts' expectations.
Chambers also said the company expects sales in the current quarter will grow by 23 to 26 percent from a year ago, which would put revenue in the range of $10.1 billion to $10.3 billion.
Analysts said the earnings report and the new forecast are a strong indication that other corporations are starting to spend and invest in big tech projects again, after cutting back on their budgets during the recession. Cisco is the world's largest seller of computer networking equipment and related hardware used by other big companies around the globe.
"It suggests that the recovery in tech spending will continue into 2010," said investment analyst Brent Bracelin of Pacific Crest Securities.
While cautioning that it's still possible for the economy to falter again, Chambers pronounced the quarterly results "outstanding" and said business had improved in a broad range of geographic areas and market segments.
"This would indicate that the recovery from a capital spending perspective is very strong," he said during a conference call with analysts. The company's overall product orders were up 11 percent from a year ago, he said, after falling by more than 20 percent just two quarters ago.
Cisco said it earned $1.9 billion net income on revenue of $9.8 billion in its fiscal second quarter that ended last month, compared with $1.5 billion profit on sales of $9.1 billion in the same period a year earlier. Earnings amounted to 32 cents a share, or 40 cents a share after excluding one-time charges.
While consistently profitable, Cisco's revenue and profit were down in each of the previous four quarters when compared with a year earlier as the recession put a damper on tech spending overall. Cisco said previously that it cut spending and trimmed more than 2,000 jobs in the first part of last year.
But as business began to recover last fall, the company increased its global work force by about 2,100 in the latest quarter, bringing the total to 65,874. Chambers said half of the new employees came from two companies that Cisco acquired, with the rest coming from external hiring.
Chambers said the additional hiring this year will occur in areas across the company but did not provide specifics.
Cisco is the second big tech company to announce hiring plans this year; Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said last week he plans to hire 2,000 people, although he also said about 1,000 jobs will be cut in connection with Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems.
Cisco also sells consumer products, including home routers and digital video cameras, and it recently moved to expand its role as a provider of datacenter equipment, by launching its own line of servers and by partnering with other vendors including EMC and VMware. That means Cisco is increasingly competing directly with other tech giants, including Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Oracle.
Cisco's stock closed at $23.07, up 0.2 percent for the day, but it rose an additional 3.6 percent in after-hours trading.

Project Number: 3060-21000-037-21
Start Date: Feb 01, 2011
End Date: Dec 31, 2016
U.S. barley and wheat breeders will provide standardized field-based evaluations of biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, nitrogen use efficiency and yield from genotyped breeding lines and segregation populations. Physiologists will develop high throughput phenotyping methods for drought, heat and nitrogen use efficiency. A highly parallel SNP genotyping platforms developed by Illumina will be used to genotype over 8,000 wheat and barley core collections to evaluate genetic diversity. Based on genotype and phenotype data, a subset of germplasm will be selected to cross with elite lines to generate mapping populations to identify SNP markers associated with biotic and abiotic stresses. Large-scale SNP genotyping platforms will be developed to integrate genomic selection (GS) approach in the practical breeding scheme in wheat. The smaller-scale SNP genotyping platforms containing markers linked to known genes and previously identified marker-trait associations will be developed for breeding applications using marker-assisted selection and GS approaches in wheat and barley. A project database will be developed to integrate genotype, phenotype and pedigree data. Theoretical framework and web-based tools will also be developed to help breeders implement MAS and GS in barley and wheat breeding programs.

I've always had a great amount of admiration for parents who look so at ease while out with their young children, sitting serenely at dinner with the babe happily gumming his hands while sitting in his car seat. If the camera were to pan to my table, you'd likely see my six year old hard at work on completing the kids menu games, my the top of my husband's head while clicking away on the Blackberry and me, sitting with the baby on my lap while he attempts to fling my plate back to the kitchen. That wide-eyed look on my face: it's not Xanex-induced euphoria, it's fear.
You see, after having 2 extremely demanding/screamy/colicky/generally unpleasant babies, I have started to hate going out without reinforcements. Having been front and center in the Great Colicky Baby saga of 2001-2, including such highlights as Out At Dinner, Where's The Damn Check and At A Friend's House, This Must Be Better Than Birth Control. 2004-5 held such gems during public bathroom potty training as Mom, Where Is Your Penis And Is It Dirty Down There? and Dave, Can I Hold Your Penis? These days, I'm more apt to have to fight such battles as Dude, Where Is The Tit? and But I Waaaannnnnnnttttt It, Mommy!!!
I want to be able to suck it up and not get so damn stressed out by it because I genuinely hate sitting around the house day after day, as I know that the only behavior that can be changed is my own. Aside from Xanex, I have no idea how I can do it.

Am I the only one that is disturbed by the fact that the toddler taser is sold out?

Fetta's Greek Taverna is one of the best restaurants I have been to in a while. I'm from Melbourne & it beats them by far. We dined at Fetta's on a busy Saturday night while on holidays and hadn't made a reservation. The restaurant was packed, however we were made to feel very welcome and waited for a table for 20 minutes by the bar, enjoying a glass of Retsina.
We ordered the Set Menu for $32.50 per person which included a little bit of everything from the menu. We couldn't finish all the meals as their was so much food which was absolutley delicious.
The restaurant is affordable and has a great atmosphere. My husband even had a dance with the belly dancer, and the children enjoyed the zorba and plate smashing.
Definately worth every dollar!

Bears Like Baking Too!
Jama Rattigan over at Jama's Alphabet Soup and her bear friend Mr. Cornelius baked up a batch of Chef Carol Nardello's healthy Quick Morning Glory Muffins from the Sweet Dash of Aloha cookbook. (Jama reviewed A Sweet Dash of Aloha last month and mentioned that these muffins were on her must-make list. Read her review here.)
Jama is a children's book author, among other things, and you can check out her delightful books at her official website. (Do it—in honor of her book Dumpling Soup she's also got a recipe posted there for her family's dumpling soup, and it looks delicious!)
We are thrilled that Jama and Mr. Cornelius tackled this baking project and have written up their experience. Jama even knew more about the background of Morning Glory Muffins than we did, information which she shares on her blog. (Well, Chef Carol probably knew, but we desk-bound office folk here had no clue. We just eat what you put in front of us.)
You'll also find the low fat (only 3 grams!), low sugar (entirely natural, from the fruit content) recipe from Sweet Dash posted at Jama's blog.

Summer Feng Shui Lectures with Clear Englebert
Best-selling author Clear Englebert (Feng Shui for Hawai'i Gardens, Bedroom Feng Shui) will present free feng shui lectures at five public libraries during the month of June. In addition, Englebert will offer an intensive two-hour feng shui class on Bedrooms & Relationships.
The library lectures will focus on exterior uses of feng shui to attract positive energy in your home and life. Each talk will address using your garden—your first and best opportunity—to create positive energy for your home and deflect negative energy from neighboring structures. The concept of chi energy and how to attract and maximize its beneficial flow are explained, with particular attention on the importance of the approach to the home. Emphasis is placed on harmonizing the home with the surrounding landform. Englebert uses examples specific to Hawaii homes, and to the landscape, climate, and culture of the Islands, allowing a clear understanding of how to apply feng shui principles here. The talk also covers which plants to select and where to put them.
Englebert's newest book, Feng Shui for Hawai'i Gardens, will be for sale at each of these talks, with 30% of the sale price ($23, tax inclusive) being donated to the Friends of the Library for that particular library. In addition, exclusively at the library talks, a complimentary copy of A Literary Lei: Flowers & Plants of Hawai'i (Jim and Virginia Wageman, Watermark Publishing) will be given away with the purchase of Feng Shui for Hawai'i Gardens (while supplies last).
The free library presentations will be offered at the following locations/times:
- Aiea Library — Thursday, June 21, from 6:30pm to 7:30pm
- Kapolei Library — Saturday, June 23, from 10:30am to 11:30am
- Kailua Library — Saturday, June 23, from 3:30pm to 4:30pm
- Kaneohe Library — Sunday, June 24, from 11:00am to noon
- Kaimuki Library — Sunday, June 24, from 2:30pm to 3:30pm
The two-hour "Bedrooms and Relationships" class will be held on Saturday, June 23 in the Private Function Room in the Executive Center (1088 Bishop St.), Lobby Level, next to Hukilau Restaurant. Class begins at 6:30pm; class fee is $20. According to feng shui, the bedroom is the most important room and the bed is the most important object in the home. Englebert's class will address the various details, such as color, texture, lighting, and artwork, that help a bedroom support sound sleep. The second half of the class will concern how to use feng shui to attract a relationship and to create more harmony in an existing relationship. Validated parking is available and no pre-registration is required; walk-ins are welcome.
Clear Englebert has practiced and taught feng shui in Hawaii and California since 1995. A recognized feng shui expert, he has appeared on television, radio, and in the print media. His latest book is Feng Shui for Hawai'i Gardens (Watermark Publishing, 2012). His previous books are the best-selling Feng Shui for Hawai'i, from Watermark Publishing, Feng Shui Demystified and Bedroom Feng Shui which are available in four languages.

The product Humulin is used for the following reasons for people
Humulin, which stands for human insulin, is a hypoglycaemic agent that helps diabetic patients controls their blood glucose levels. It is classified under the generic name Insulin Isophane and Insulin Regular. Insulin Isophane and Insulin Regular are synthetic (manmade) forms of hormones meant to resemble the insulin regularly produced by the body.
Insulin release is usually dependent on the amount of glucose, and it diminishes when there are low levels of glucose. This action is also dependent on the extent of functioning beta cells in the pancreatic islets. Insulin is responsible for delivery of usable glucose to cells which needs it. When insulin malfunctions, glucose stays in the blood, and the person becomes hyperglycaemic. Humulin, an isophane insulin injection, contains a long-acting form of insulin used to treat diabetics.
Indications and Contraindications:
Humulin is primarily indicated for those with type 1 or insulin dependent Diabetes mellitus and for type 2 diabetes mellitus (non-insulin dependent) that cannot be properly controlled by diet, exercise, and weight reduction modalities. It is an adjunct medication therapy to diet and exercise for better blood sugar control. It can also be used in conditions of hyperkalemia.
Infusion of glucose and insulin pulls the potassium excess from the blood into cells, lowering blood potassium levels. This isn't for those with known hypersensitivity to the drug, or those experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia. There are different types, purities, brands, strengths, or species of Humulin available.
Change of insulin is done cautiously and under direct medical supervision. Hypoglycemia may result from excessive dose. Increased work, exercise, insufficient eating, omission of meals, and illnesses characterized by symptoms of vomiting, fever, or diarrhea may result to hypoglycemia. Also, diet should always be consistent. A complication of lipodystrophy may occur if injection sites are not rotated. Lipodystrophy is the breakdown of fat tissue, causing a depression in the skin. It is a result of repeated insulin injection to the same site.

I think it's all a matter of personal choice.
You can definitely do PWM with a standard 8051 or use a AT89LP213 which has an enhanced 8051 core with PWM outputs (only 2 unfortunately).

Airlines group sues FAA to block air traffic control furloughs
Airlines for America, trade group for U.S. air carriers, said Friday it has filed a lawsuit that seeks to reverse the Federal Aviation Administration's decision to furlough air traffic controllers
A4A said the FAA outlined plans Tuesday for what will happen beginning Sunday when every controllers will be furloughed one day in 10. As many as 6,700 flights a day could be delayed, A4A CEO Nick Calio said at an afternoon press conference.
The FAA is telling airlines that the 10 percent reduction in controllers may mean dealys on 30 to 40 percent of flights at some airports, Calio said. "The math simply does not work," he said.
The cuts are the result of the sequester, the mandatory $85 billion spending in federal spending. Although the sequester went into force March 1, FAA officials didn't brief airlines on its impact on flight operations until Tuesday.
"To cut to the chase here, they're using the air system as a political football," Air Line Pilots Association Lee Moak said at the A4A press conference.
Calio and Moak said the industry thought the administration would find out a way to prevent the sequester from impairing the nation's air travel system before the cuts would go into effect.
"We believed, argued and made the case that air traffic controllers should be furloughed because they are and always have, in any other circumstance in history, been deemed essential employees," Calio said.
"There are a lot of other employees who could be furloughed. Because of their importance to their system, we thought the controllers should be left alone. We hoped they would be left alone and we believed at the end of the day we thought the FAA would find a different way to meet its target," he said.
"Flights will be delayed," Moak said. "Ultimately, flights will be cancelled. That's where we find ourselves. That's what we need to stop."
In its motion, Airlines for America asked the in U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to stay the cutbacks and asked the Obama administration to delay the furloughs for 30 days. It also said it is asking Congress for legislation to prevent the ATC furloughs.
"The FAA does have flexibility in how it implements sequester cuts," Calio said. "It's just choosing to ignore that it does."
He said the FAA told the airlines Tuesday that it will impose ground delays into effect, whether conditions require such an action or not.
"Putting ground delays in without conditions is really unacceptable. It doesn't make a lot of senses," he said.
Moak said the result of the furloughs will be more delays and cancellations, not a lower level of safety.
"Safety will not be compromised. That's a given. But this will cause serious reductions in the number of flight operations and system capacity," Moak said.
Airlines for American has set up the "Don't Ground America" website to gain popular support.

'The Trouble with Buddhism' Chapter 10 (The ethics industry) part e
This book is also available as a paperback or pdf download from Lulu.com
Finally, before I leave the topic of Buddhist ethics, it is important to mention another more recent phenomenon – the development of an academic "Buddhist Ethics" industry at a remove from the actual attempt to practise Buddhist ethics in experience. Some of the leading figures in this industry are not only not Buddhists, but are clearly not interested in any personal or practical side to Buddhist ethics which might make it important to develop practically justifiable moral ideas suited to the modern context. Instead their approach is to trawl the Buddhist scriptures and sociological observations of life in Buddhist countries to support an entirely descriptive ethics. So, you can read these authors if you want to know what the scriptures tell you about a certain moral issue, or what people do in Thailand in relation to it. But is it right to do what people do in
It is Buddhists themselves who are to blame for this, by letting their own moral tradition dwindle into the irrelevancies of legalism, instead of developing richer and more practically useful accounts of how to go about making justifiable moral decisions. The academics, seeing a gap in the market for Buddhist ethical explanation, have sprung to fill it. However, they could only fill it from the distinctly limited moral ideas recognised by the tradition already, and have shown no interest in innovating.
The only solution to this situation is to develop an alternative account of Buddhist ethics based, not on scripture references and accounts of what people do in

Stocks to Watch: J.C. Penney, Tiffany, Movado Group
Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Tuesday's session are J.C. Penney, Tiffany & Co. and Movado Group
Hedge fund manager William Ackman's Pershing Square is dumping its entire stake in J.C. Penney after a failed push to change the company's management. Citigroup is acting as the bookrunning manager and underwriter on the sale of Ackman's 39 million shares, which equals roughly 17.7% of the struggling retailer's stock. Shares fell 2% to $13.08 premarket.
Tiffany & Co.'s fiscal second-quarter earnings rose a stronger-than-expected 16% as the high-end jewelry retailer reported broad revenue growth, while margins strengthened amid price increases. Shares rose 2% to $83.30 in recent premarket trading.
Movado's fiscal second-quarter earnings jumped 55% as the maker of luxury watches posted stronger revenue, though costs were also up sharply. Shares rose 5.2% to $39.97 premarket as the company also raised its full-year guidance.
Amira Nature Foods said its fiscal first-quarter profit more than doubled as the maker of Indian specialty rice reported higher volume and prices in India and other markets. The results easily exceeded Wall Street's expectations, sending shares up 15% to $9.15 in premarket trading.
Brown Shoe Co. swung to a profit in its fiscal second quarter as the company posted higher sales and lower realignment costs. Shares rose 4.4% to $24.75 premarket as results beat Wall Street expectations.
LDK Solar Co. narrowed its fiscal second-quarter loss as the Chinese solar-wafer maker reported stronger revenue, although its margins deteriorated. American depositary shares fell 9.8% to $1.57 premarket as sales came in toward the lower end of the company's forecast.
Catalyst Pharmaceutical Partners Inc. has received breakthrough therapy designation for its investigational product Firdapse from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the symptomatic treatment of patients with Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome. Shares jumped 58% to $2.25 premarket.
DSW Inc.'s fiscal second-quarter profit rose 15% as the footwear retailer posted higher sales that beat Wall Street expectations. Shares rose 2% to $82.95 in light premarket trading.
Acura Pharmaceuticals Inc. released results from a phase II clinical study in recreational-drug abusers assessing the abuse liability of snorting a crushed hydrocodone bitartrate with acetaminophen tablet formulated with Acura's abuse-deterrent aversion technology, saying that there was no statistical significance in the study's primary endpoint relating to maximum drug liking. Therefore, the company said its timeline for submission of a New Drug Application for Aversion H&A is expected to be delayed. Shares tumbled 27% to $1.37 premarket.
Oneok Partners LP said it will acquire a natural-gas processing facility in the natural-gas liquids-rich area of Powder River Basin for $305 million from an undisclosed seller, increasing the pipeline and natural-gas-gathering company's presence in the region.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services downgraded its rating on Peabody Energy Corp. one notch further into junk territory, citing expectations that global coal-market conditions will remain difficult for the next year or two.

Michigan counting on renewable energy
Michigan's economy could get a boost from the boom in the state's renewable energy sectors of wind and solar. In fact, some in the state are counting on it.
"…the facts, data and dashboards all show that Michigan can become a national powerhouse in renewable energy, attract billions of dollars in new investments and create tens of thousands of new jobs with a stronger renewable energy standard," said Michigan Energy, Michigan Jobs spokesperson Mark Fisk.
Fisk feels strongly about this position despite the fact that Michigan's governor, Rick Snyder, has doubts. Gov. Snyder has concluded that, relative to other states, Michigan's renewable energy sector is not that strong.
"Michigan businesses and citizens are working hard to build a 21st century energy future for Michigan and provide powerful examples of the kind of economic gardening that Gov. Snyder says he supports," Fisk said. "Despite Gov. Snyder's doubts, Michigan has the skilled workforce, the manufacturing know-how and the Michigan-based resources to become a global energy leader."
Despite the doubts, Michigan's renewable energy industry seems ripe for success. Michigan utilities are reporting lower-than-expected costs for renewable energy, and Michigan ranks in the top 10 states for wind energy projects. Michigan has also made substantial investments into the advanced energy industry economy to the tune of $4.9 billion a year, according to an Energy Innovation Business Council report.
The Michigan Energy, Michigan Jobs proposal seeks to increase Michigan's renewable energy standard from 10 percent by 2015 – among the lowest in the nation – to 25 percent by 2025.
