Vintage Christmas Greeting Card in Photoshop
In this new Christmas tutorial we are going to make a vintage greeting card. To make the vintage effect I will use a knitted fabric combined with some grunge old paper texture. You can choose one of my three greeting card templates and choose also the Christmas graphics inside the card. I used a Santa Claus vector graphic but you can of course try it with a snowman, with a Christmas night background, with a Christmas tree and so on.

In this quick tutorial we'll learn how to create a vintage Christmas greeting card in Photoshop using some simple techniques, textures and xmas vector graphics.
First you have to download this greeting card PSD template; we will use this template to create the xmas card.
Open the PSD file and inside you will find many layers that you can adjust and customize as you wish. I will only work with the Page 1 Layer, which is in fact a smart object. Double click on the layer thumbnail to open it.
Inside the Page 1 Layer you will find a smart object called Your Work; open again this object and inside we'll create the xmas card design.
So let's start creating the design. I added three layers, a rectangle, another rectangle and an ellipse with the colors shown in the image. The white rectangle has also a small size Drop Shadow effect.
I will now use one of these santa claus vector graphics.
Around the santa claus you can add some Christmas vector shapes; I've used snowflake custom shapes but you can use any xmas shape you want. Use
I will type "MERRY XMAS" using the intro free font. Learn how to install font in Photoshop from this quick tutoial for beginners.
Now we'll create the knitted fabric effect using this knitted texture. Place the texture above all the other layers so that it covers the white rectangle. Set the blend mode to Hard Light
Save the two PSB files and close it to return to the initial file the one with the greeting card. Your result should now look like this. You can use with this fabric texture some stitch brushes to create interesting stitching and sewing effects.
You can also add some snowflake shapes on the card border. You can use a simple white color or you can give a letterpress style like I did.
For the final touches I have also added a bow PNG stock image. Use a Brightness/Contrast and a Hue/Saturation adjustment layers to change the color of the bow from purple to red.
Open the layer style window of the Bow Layer and add Drop Shadow and Inner Shadow styles.
To create that vintage old look I have added a old paper texture, blend mode Multiply for the two greeting card pages. So here is the final result for the vintage Christmas greeting card, hope you like it!

KOLKATA/NEW DELHI: Satellite and internet radio tried to kill the old AM/FM radio, but it failed miserably. However, radio's senior brethren, the old box television, is not so lucky and is gradually succumbing to the might of the high-valued liquid crystal display (LCD) and plasma televisions.
Sandip Malhotra, a Delhi-based electrical engineer, realised it when he tried to get his 15-year-old TV repaired. Due to nonavailability of spares, Malhotra was forced to check out an electronic store at the South Extension market of New Delhi. But his search for a similar model ended in vain as the outlet was invaded by sleek televisions.

If you're a season ticket holder for the Arena League Football Team the Nashville Kats, you saw Tim McGraw give his first concert of the year last Friday night. Tim, part owner of the team, sang with show openers the Warren Brothers, who joined him onstage with Tim's wife Faith Hill to sing their song "Blank Sheet Of Paper." During "I Like It, I Love It," Tim invited Kats' lineman Ryan Roth on stage to sing while he threw Kats footballs into the stands. Tim also gave the crowd a taste of his new single, "Drugs Or Jesus," and debuted a tune called "Let's Get Drunk And Fight" that will be on his next album. The song was written by Big & Rich's John Rich, who was in the audience that night. From the stage, Tim joked that John "has like 22 songs on Faith's new album."

In March of 2012, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu sent a memo to the federal Power Marketing Administrations (PMAs) laying the groundwork for new policies, including new transmission policies, that could alter the historic arrangement that has guaranteed affordable electric power for rural co-ops.
Created by Congress to administer the nation's large federal dams, PMAs provide affordable power for more than 600 rural electric cooperatives in 34 states.
The PMAs are founded on a partnership between electric co-ops and the federal government. The government invested in dams for flood control, recreation, and electricity generation. Co-ops agreed to buy the electric power at above market rates in exchange for a guarantee of continued access to power and a promise of lower rates over the long term.
This partnership, which remains intact today, helps co-ops keep electric bills affordable for consumer-members. At the heart of this agreement is an understanding that those who pay for the federal investment will be the beneficiaries of that investment.
Proposed Changes by the Department of Energy (DOE) Would
- Unfairly target rural consumers: the DOE proposal would use revenue from one segment of electric consumers to pay for benefits to others. It's simply a tax on existing customers. When co-ops agreed to repay the federal investment in hydropower, it was with the understanding that those who benefit from the various services provided by the federal investments – such as flood control and recreation opportunities – would pay for them.
- Increase cost for consumers: the memo turns PMAs into expensive laboratories to test Washington's fluctuating energy initiatives; co-op consumers would bear the burden of these new costs.
- Undermine Congress's oversight role. Any change in the purpose of the PMAs should be decided by the body that has authored, expanded, and refined the PMAs' governing statutes.
A Solution in Search of a Problem
The PMAs' partnership with co-ops works. PMAs and their federal power customers have already been successfully integrating new energy sources without these changes.
There is an opportunity for PMAs to be strengthened and improved. For example, Congress and this Administration can commit to the capital improvements needed to maintain federal dams.

Dallas Fire-Rescue members were confronted by two five-alarm fires at the same time Wednesday night. About 200 firefighters battled the fires, which were just three miles apart.
Department spokesman Jason Evans said that in his 13 years with the department he couldn't remember another day with two five-alarm fires. He said the department had enough manpower to fight the blazes.
One firefighter was taken to a hospital for minor burns in the first fire, a raging blaze that burned for hours at a nearly vacant Lake Highlands apartment building.
Nearly 100 firefighters battled that fire, which began at 6:10 p.m. in the 9400 block of Timberleaf Drive near Abrams Road and Forest Lane, Evans said. Flames were shooting from the two-story building when firefighters arrived, he said.
The only occupant was safe, and firefighters rescued a dog soon after arriving. A cause has not been determined.
Neighbors across the street were hosing down their lawns and roofs to combat embers that had blown across in high winds. Some were grabbing their pets and fleeing.
"It's a horrifying experience," said Zante Garcia. "I want us to be safe, but I don't want to leave my home."
The second fire, which the department responded to at 8:18 p.m., was at the Urbano at Midtown apartments in northeast Dallas, in the 6800 block of Shady Brook Lane near Park Lane.
Evans said the fire started in a first-floor bathroom and spread through walls to the roof. The fire was being investigated as accidental, he said. About 100 firefighters were on the scene late Wednesday.
Residents in 24 units were displaced. Apartment managers said there were enough vacant units to accommodate residents, and the American Red Cross was headed to the scene to provide food and clothing.

Following up on the earlier thread on this subject, I wanted
to make couple of points, and some others based on user feedback
during a site visit recently, that I thought were perhaps relevant
to this thread, and of general interest.
The site in question was the Elizabeth Wende Breast Clinic (EWBC)
in Rochester, NY, where they do nothing but breast imaging and
have digital detectors from all the vendors as well as CAD and
a PACS.
Images of the FOR PRESENTATION SOP Classes are intended for display,
and hence have a fully defined grayscale pipeline, and all display
systems are expected to a) be calibrated, or at least interpret the
output in P-Values, and b) be able to apply any window values or
table of data in a VOI LUT to the pixel values. Whilst it is true
that DICOM does not explicitly say what a display system "shall do"
in the context of an image (as opposed to presentation state) storage
SCP, that is the intent.
Specifically, display SCPs ignore any VOI LUT present at their peril -
users will be dissatisfied if the VOI LUT is not applied and the
images look much different from how they look on the acquisition
vendor's workstation.
In addition, there is now as of CP 467 the possibility that
the window values may be intended to be interpreted in an
other than linear manner. Specifically in that CP there is
a SIGMOID shape defined. Though the window values can be
used to create a displayable image with a linear ramp, if
a sigmoid shape is intended, some users will be dissatisfied
if the display system does not apply it that way (especially
important for those making 3rd party primary mammo reading stations
to be aware of this). See:
Now, as far as displaying FOR PROCESSING SOP Classes, whilst
it is safe to say that it is no doubt possible to display
such, it is specifically intended that they NOT BE DISPLAYABLE.
That is why in the Mammo (and other DX) IODs, the VOI LUT Module is
specified as "Required if Presentation Intent Type (0008,0068) is FOR
PRESENTATION. Shall not be present otherwise." This condition on the
Module interacts with the conditions defined for the specific
attributes included in the DX Image Module, but there is no "may be
present otherwise" in their either, hence the attributes should not
be sent except for FOR PRESENTATION.
In other words IT IS ILLEGAL for Window Center and Width to be present
in a FOR PROCESSING SOP Class !
In general, and certainly in the mammo case, vendors FOR PROCESSING SOP
Instances are not readable without significant alteration of the
contrast (on a point function basis or not), and a linear pair of
window values won't be sufficient.
Also, it is important to make the distinction between FOR PRESENTATION
and DERIVED versus ORIGINAL data.
As I thought we had spelled it out in words of one syllable and a
picture in PS 3.3 C.220.127.116.11.1 Presentation Intent Type, FOR
PRESENTATION should normally be ORIGINAL, and only if further
processing than is necessary to make the images viewable is performed,
should they be DERIVED (e.g some edge enhancement applied to the FOR
PRESENTATION images to make a new image).
I mention this because I notice that several vendors are setting Image
Type to DERIVED, and this is almost certainly not what is intended.
It also appears that some vendors are not allowing their Hanging
Protocols to be driven by the value of Presentation Intent Type, so I
suspect that keying off an Image Type of DERIVED may be a hokey
workaround here to distinguish FOR PRESENTATION from FOR PROCESSING.
This is probably not the right solution.
Also, with regard to the very important CAD scenario that was
mentioned, CAD performed on FOR PROCESSING but marks displayed
on FOR PRESENTATION, and the risk of spatial transformation (even
as simple as a flip or matrix size change, without any sort of
deformation) between the two, invalidating the location of the CAD
marks, I proposed a CP (that WG 15 has cleaned up) to address this
subject. See CP 564 at:
On the subject of flips, I gather that as another source of user
dissatisfaction on display workstations, whether they be from third
parties or from the mammo acquisition system vendor, the hanging
protocols are in many cases not able to take advantage of the mandatory
patient orientation information to arrange the images (flipped if
necessary) the way the radiologist wants.
Specifically, it is often assumed that the encoding of the pixel data
is in the same row/column order as is wanted for display. Sometimes,
this is not the case, either because the vendor does it their way for
a reason, or the user wants something different from the most common
Regardless, as long as the acquisition vendor is correctly encoding
Image Laterality (0020,0062) and Patient Orientation (0020,0020), as
they all are to my knowledge, then regardless of how the pixels are
encoded the hanging protocols should be able to flip the images as
necessary to the desired orientation. That is precisely why we made
these attributes mandatory in the Mammo IOD.
In other words, if you have a right MLO and a left MLO image, and the
encoded orientation for both is A\F (rows oriented anteriorly and
columns orientated to the feet for both), and the radiologist wants
them displayed "back to back", then one has to be flipped, e.g. the
right MLO might need to be displayed P\F.
In my opinion, it is the display workstations job to describe the
desired hanging orientations for each pattern of displayed sets of CC
and MLO views, and for it to match those against the encoded
orientations and lateralities, and perform the flipping as necessary.
One could imagine doing this as a combinatorial expansion of the
possible values for the Image Laterality and row and column Patient
Orientation "triplet", but it might be better to have a hanging
protocol that "understood" the concept of orientation. Also remember
that some vendors will describe MLOs, which are oblique after all,
as A\FR or A\FL (rows oriented anteriorly and columns orientated to
the feet and right for a left MLO and left for a right MLO), rather
than simply A\F, which more accurately describes a lateral, not an
Anyway, it is highly undesirable to be instead keying of manufacturers'
names and making assumptions about how the vendors happen to encode
their pixel data (today); this unreliable approach seems to be the
state of the art, if this matter is dealt with at all.
Also on the subject of hanging protocols for mammo, another feature
I am told is desirable is for the images to abut each other when shown
"back to back", rather than to be centered in their own window as might
normally be the case, if the pixel data array happens to be a different
shape from the frame in which it is displayed. This sort of automatic
left or right shift or justification is predictable in the hanging
protocol engine if it knows the orientation and laterality and user's
preference, as it can and probably should.
Similarly, when comparing prior studies, perhaps performed on different
size sensors or different vendors sensors, or even with scanned film,
users like the images to be displayed the same size, not necessarily
"true size" (in which the physical distance on the screen matches the
physical distance on the sensor), but rather "same size", such that the
distance in one image from one exam is the same as in the other exam.
This can be achieved by choosing appropriate magnification factors
based on Imager Pixel Spacing (mandatory, always present and hopefully
always correct).
The next trick is to then set the overall magnification factor to be
that which fits the "largest" breast to the full area of the display
window available, so that the user doesn't have to manually zoom
everything every time a new set of images is displayed, since many
breasts are smaller than the sensor and the full encoded pixel data
array. "Fit to screen real estate" as one user described it to me.
On another subject, and that is suppression of pixels beyond the skin
edge, I gather that some vendors detect the skin edge and make
everything outside that really black. Whether the algorithms actually
do a good job of that or not, and whether they sometimes cut off
something of interest is not the issue I wanted to raise, but rather
how the air is suppressed. The users I talked to expected the "air"
to remain dark during windowing, and were disappointed when it was not.
There was discussion of having the "air" replaced with a value that was
dark (like zero) and then excluding it from windowing by encoding it
and treating it as a Pixel Padding Value; cool idea perhaps, as long
as that pixel value never occurs inside the breast (e.g. in air in a
biopsy tract or cavity perhaps), in which case it would also be
from windowing.
Better perhaps to use the Bitmap Shutter Module, that is specifically
designed for this sort of thing. It is not part of the current DX and
Mammo IODs, but could be added. It is a feature of Presentation State,
and hence any display workstation that supports Presentation State
should support Bitmap Shutter in general, and hence would be able to
use it if it encountered one in a Mammo instance and new to do so. The
size of the area shuttered out would increase the size of the file
though, as it is encoded as a bitmap.
Another option, better still perhaps since it is more compact, might be
to encode an ordinary Display Shutter but as Vertices of the Polygonal
Shutter. This Module is already part of the Mammo IOD.
Both of these shutter based solutions are more complex than the Pixel
Padding Value approach, which is great if and only if the padding value
is never possible in the "real" pixel data. Since this is a confusing
area, there is (yet another) CP on Pixel Padding Value working its way
through the system. See CP 517 at:
In practice at the moment, whether or not the air appears to change as
the user windows the image, is predicated on the separation between the
air peak (or replaced air pixel value) and the breast tissue peak on
the histogram, and ultimately will change if the window is wide or low
enough of course, or is not a linear shape (e.g. sigmoid).
There are many other interesting topics related to digital mammo and
CAD interoperability, and if you are interested and available there is
a special forum at SCAR this year on the Saturday specifically to
address this, jointly hosted by SCAR and the Elizabeth Wende Breast
Clinic. See Page 16 of the program at:
This is a relatively late addition to the program, but should be a
great session. (OK, I am biased, since I am chairing the vendors'
panel, but I want enough of you folks to be there to make for an
interesting and productive discussion).
It is hoped that out of the workshop will come some topics appropriate
of an IHE or IHE-like digital mammography effort, to address such
issues as CAD workflow, ability to perform reprocessing, what should
be encoded on portable media for patients and referring doctors and
other sites (e.g. for proc + for presn + CAD SR + presentation state
with CAD marks perhaps), etc.

Media & Fan Info for the Western Conference Semifinals
Thursday, 04.28.2011 / 4:51 PM CT / News
By Press Release - Nashville Predators
-Tickets available now for Games Three (5/3), Four (5/5) and Six (5/9)-
Nashville, Tenn. (April 28, 2011) – The Nashville Predators will host Games Three and Four of their 2011 Western Conference Semifinals series with the Vancouver Canucks, presented locally by Fifth Third Bank, next week at Bridgestone Arena with Game Three on Tuesday, May 3 at 8 p.m. and Game Four scheduled for Thursday, May 5 at 7:30 p.m., with Game Six taking place on Monday, May 9 (if necessary, times tbd). Doors will open two and a half hours prior to each contest with plaza parties taking place three hours prior to faceoff (weather permitting).
Individual tickets are available for all possible second-round games and can be purchased at nashvillepredators.com, by calling 615-770-PUCK (7825), stopping by the Bridgestone Arena box office, all Ticketmaster outlets or by visiting ticketmaster.com. Ticket prices start at just $32 per game. For the second round, the Predators will again utilize value-based pricing; meaning that prices will fluctuate with demand. Tickets for all future rounds of the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs will go on sale upon the completion of each round.
After successfully "golding out" Bridgestone Arena last round, the Nashville Predators want to keep the gold going, with all fans in attendance at Game Three receiving gold rally towels courtesy of AT&T and gold "Stand With Us" t-shirts provided by Hunt Brothers Pizza, GooGoo Cluster, Land Rover Nashville and Fifth Third Bank. Attendees of Game Four will receive a cheering fan presented by Bridgestone and a gold "Stand With Us" t-shirt courtesy of Toyota, Tennessee Lottery and Bridgestone.
"We really set the tone last month with everyone waving gold rally towels during our games," Nashville Predators Chief Executive Officer Jeff Cogen said. "Everyone from players to coaches to fans noticed how special the environment was in Bridgestone Arena – especially during those amazing standing ovations. We want to take it one step further by instituting a 'gold out' for Games Three and Four at Bridgestone Arena. The Predators will be providing 'Stand With Us' t-shirts and towels but we still encourage fans to go gold all on their own!"
The Predators and Canucks will kick off the series, their first ever postseason matchup, and the Predators first foray into the Western Conference Semifinals, tonight at Rogers Arena in Vancouver at 8 p.m. CT. Game Two is scheduled for Saturday, April 30 at 8 p.m. CT in Vancouver. Both games will be televised nationally on VERSUS (Comcast channel 206 HD, 50 SD). The series then turns to Nashville for Games Three and Four.
If additional games are necessary to complete the best-of-seven series, play will resume in Vancouver for a Game Five on Saturday, May 7 at 7 p.m. CT, come to Nashville for Game Six on Monday, May 9 and return to Vancouver for Game Seven on Wednesday, May 11. Local FOX Sports Tennessee coverage for non-exclusive national games (Games Three, Four, Six and Seven) is yet to be determined.

That's true Delphi, but he did spend over 20 million, which in those pre-premiership days was a huge sum, before winning his first title.
To put things in perpsective, Roy Keane cost less than 4 million, what would he have cost this year - at his peak, not now :-)

It's a good point Ralf, Fergie of course did not spend 100M. Its called inflation. Fergie had basically one big spending club to compete with, and that was us, which is nothing like competing against the likes of Chelsea or City.
7 years before a first title, 3 years before his first piece of silverware (FA Cup) and healthy spending comparable with the money spent by the richest clubs at the time.
Compare that with Silverware in just over a year, spending healthy, but not even close to the biggest spenders in the league, and patience has run out before his first full season has finished!

"We have to fight together as union members and environmentalists to protect our rights, to protect our families and to protect our environment. These rights are fundamental to our democracy."
— Michael Brune, Executive Director, Sierra Club
The 1.4 million friends and neighbors who make up the Sierra Club are dedicated to safe and healthy communities, smart energy solutions to combat climate change, and protecting the outdoor legacy of America's wild places. Since 1892, the Sierra Club has been working to protect communities, wild places, and the planet itself. The Club is the largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization in the United States. And our founder, John Muir, appears on the back of the California quarter.
The Sierra Club together with the United Steelworkers formed the BlueGreen Alliance in 2006. But the Club's support of workers' rights dates back to the 1960s, when it joined workers to help pass the Occupational Safety and Health Act. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Sierra Club again joined forces with workers on successful campaigns to expose, disclose and clean up unsafe, toxic working and living conditions. Since the 1990s, the Sierra Club has fought alongside workers for fair trade laws that protect the environment and workers' rights.
The Sierra Club works with the BlueGreen Alliance to advance clean energy jobs, protect workers' health, and keep the environment safe for all. In addition, the Sierra Club believes workers with strong rights will ensure safe communities and a better environment, and we strongly support the BlueGreen Alliance's efforts to preserve the rights of working people to organize and bargain for better working conditions and wages.

Some people come for the food, others for the culture and still others for the natural scenery, but Thailand has and probably always will attract visitors to its miles upon miles of powdery white sand beaches. Whether you're looking for a raging party under a full moon or a quiet, secluded spot to relax, you'll find it in Thailand.
Thailand's Best Beaches
The lion's share of Thailand's beaches are located in the southern third of the country, along its south and east coasts and on the islands dotting the waters. The question of which is Thailand's best beach is largely a matter of taste; they're all gorgeous, but they each have a distinctive flavor that you may like or dislike depending on what you want out of a beach vacation.
Thailand's beaches have a long history with the party crowd, and every month on the full moon, the sands of Ko Phangan fill with scantily-clad, body painted revelers moving to the beats of trance tunes well into the morning hours. If your perfect beach getaway involves a good party, Pattaya, Phuket and Ko Samui make good choices as well.
On the other side of the spectrum from the party-goers sit the seclusionists — the beach lovers who prefer blissful serenity in the sun and sand, and Thailand has plenty of beaches that cater to this crowd as well. In general, opt for the smaller islands, like Ko Tao, Ko Mak or Ko Kut. A variety of water sports are available at almost any beach you choose.
Beaches Near Bangkok
If you can't make it south, you can still soak up a little Thai sun at one of the few beaches near Bangkok. For a quick day trip to the beach, hire a car to take you to Bang Saen beach, located 63 miles (102 kilometers) from the city. The water isn't as clear as in the islands, and the sand isn't quite as soft, but it's a perfect place to kick back and enjoy some good seafood alongside the Thai locals who frequent this off-the-beaten-path beach.
A half-day's travel from the capital, you'll find the island of Ko Samet, a blissful retreat with 14 sandy beaches. Go during the week to avoid the rate hikes on weekends, when it seems that half of Bangkok's population flocks to the shore. If you have the time to spare, consider taking a few days to enjoy Ko Chang, one of Thailand's most beautiful islands.
Best Time to Go
Strictly in terms of climate, there isn't really a bad time to enjoy Thailand's beaches. It's warm all year long, and the only thing that changes is the amount of rain. If you want to avoid afternoon showers that occur almost daily during the monsoon, plan your visit between November and February.
Unfortunately, the dry season coincides with the high season for tourism, particularly in the islands, with prices skyrocketing during December and January. If you don't mind having to duck into a beach-side bar to escape a downpour to escape the heavy crowds of high season, plan your visit during April, May, June, September or October.

When Medical Devices Fail in the Body
By KENNETH CHANG
Published: August 7, 2001
Last October, Robert Stahl had his arthritic hip replaced with an artificial one, a ball-and-socket joint made of titanium.
Neither Mr. Stahl nor his surgeon knew it, but at that time, the maker of the replacement hip, Sulzer Orthopedics Inc. of Austin, Tex., was investigating reports that its implants were prone to fail. The socket, designed to let bone grow into it and hold it in place, sometimes came loose from the pelvis, causing severe pain and instability.
On Dec. 8, Sulzer recalled the hips. By then, Mr. Stahl's implant was already failing. He needed another major operation to replace it.
More than 300,000 hip replacement operations are performed in the United States every year. Twenty million to 25 million Americans or more -- up to 10 percent of the population -- are walking around with some sort of medical implant: artificial knees, replacement lenses in the eyes, pacemakers to regulate heartbeat.
No one keeps complete track of who has what. Until 1998, companies were not even required to report recalls to the Food and Drug Administration.
Robert Rhoads of Tampa, Fla., learned only this year that his jaw implants had been recalled in 1991. The implants, Teflon-coated disks about the size of thumbnails that had been placed in his jaw joints to replace cartilage, have been eating away at his skull bones and causing pain for 15 years. Based on records from the manufacturer, the F.D.A. estimated that 26,000 implants had been distributed, but it did not know how many had been implanted or who had received them.
When devices fail, the consequences can be fatal. A strut in a heart valve sold by Shiley Inc. from 1979 to 1986 has fractured in 219 of an estimated 31,230 patients in this country. The fractures proved deadly in two-thirds of the cases.
When Shiley, a unit of Pfizer, tried in the early 1990's to get in contact with 23,000 patients to warn them of the heart valve defect, it was able to find only 61 percent of them.
In 1994, Telectronics Pacing Systems Inc. of Englewood, Colo., issued a recall for pacemaker wires that sometimes fractured and then pierced patients' hearts.
The F.D.A. now requires manufacturers to track heart valves and other implants like pacemakers where failures can be catastrophic, but some argue that the federal government should set up a registry for all implantable devices.
But a National Institutes of Health panel concluded in January 2000 that a registry was not feasible. The panel made more modest recommendations, like giving patients cards with information about their implants and setting up an informational Web site. No action has been taken on these recommendations.
The F.D.A. does not require the tracking of artificial hips. Since 1995, there have been 39 recalls of artificial hips, the agency reports. In two-thirds of the recalls, the parts were merely mislabeled, not defective. Of the 13 recalls for manufacturing or design flaws, the Sulzer case is by far the largest: 40,000 sockets, of which 26,000 had been implanted.
The company said it did not believe that all 26,000 implanted hips were defective.
''We have determined there are about 12,000 people who have the hips that we consider are at risk,'' said William Miller, a Sulzer spokesman.
As of last week, 2,286 people had undergone a second operation to replace the defective hip sockets, Mr. Miller said. More than 1,000 lawsuits have been filed against Sulzer Orthopedics and its parent company, Sulzer Medica Ltd. of Switzerland.
For Mr. Stahl, his first new hip worked well for a while.
''The recovery went really well for four and a half weeks,'' said Mr. Stahl, 60, of Bodega Bay, Calif. He was walking a mile a day. ''And then, within a period of a couple of days, the thing started to separate in there. It was at the kitchen table. I stood up, there was terrific pain, and the leg started to buckle.'' He caught himself before he fell.
The pain was so great that Mr. Stahl returned to using a walker.
Meanwhile, Sulzer had begun to find out why its implants were failing. In mid-November, a scan by an outside laboratory hired by the company showed a minute amount of oil on an implant socket -- in a place where there should have been no oil at all. Further tests revealed contamination by one-15,000th of an ounce of mineral oil on many sockets, Mr. Miller said.
The oil was a lubricant that had leaked from the machine that shaped the sockets, and it apparently prevented the bone from adhering to the implant. Despite screws anchoring the socket to the pelvis, the loose sockets caused persistent sharp, burning pains in the implant patients.
Mr. Stahl's surgeon did not want to perform a second operation too soon after the first and hoped that perhaps over time the bone would reattach to the socket.
''After a while, it became clear it wasn't going to fix itself,'' Mr. Stahl said. ''There were three more months of real pain.''
In February, he received a replacement for his replacement hip.
The Sulzer recall illustrates some of the problems that arise, both for patients and for a company, when a device fails inside the body.

Digestive Disorders Health Center
Lactose Intolerance - Topic Overview
Many people who have gas, belly pain, bloating, and diarrhea suspect they may be lactose-intolerant. The best way to check this is to avoid eating all milk and dairy products to see if your symptoms go away. If they do, then you can try adding small amounts of milk products to see if your symptoms come back.
If you feel sick after drinking a glass of milk one time, you probably do not have lactose intolerance. But if you feel sick every time you have milk, ice cream, or another dairy product, you may have lactose intolerance.
Sometimes people who have never had problems with milk or dairy products suddenly have lactose intolerance. This is more common as you get older.
If you think you might have lactose intolerance, talk with your doctor. He or she can make sure that your symptoms are caused by lactose intolerance and not by another problem.
A doctor can usually tell whether you have lactose intolerance by asking questions about your symptoms. He or she may also ask that you avoid dairy products for a short time to see if your symptoms improve.
Sometimes doctors order a hydrogen breath test or a blood sugar test to confirm the diagnosis. These simple tests check to see if you are digesting lactose normally.
There is no cure for lactose intolerance. But you can treat your symptoms by limiting or avoiding milk products. Some people use milk with reduced lactose, or they substitute soy milk and soy cheese for milk and milk products. Some people who are lactose-intolerant can eat yogurt without problems, especially yogurt with live cultures. You can also take dietary supplements called lactase products that help digest lactose. In time, most people who have lactose intolerance get to know their bodies well enough to avoid symptoms.
One of the biggest concerns for people who are lactose-intolerant is making sure they get enough of the nutrients found in milk products, especially calcium. Calcium is most important for children, teens, pregnant women, and women after menopause. There are many nondairy foods that contain calcium, including:
- Broccoli, okra, kale, collards, and turnip greens.
- Canned sardines, tuna, and salmon.
- Calcium-fortified juices and cereals.
- Calcium-fortified soy products such as soy milk, tofu, and soybeans.
- Almonds.

Noninvasive measurement of human forearm oxygen consumption by near infrared spectroscopy.
Eur J Appl Physiol Occup Physiol
, 67
pp. 20-25.
This study reported on the application of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to noninvasive measurements of forearm brachio-radial muscle oxygen consumption (VO2) and recovery time (tr) in untrained volunteers. Seven healthy subjects were submitted to four consecutive protocols involving measurements made at rest, the induction of an ischaemia, and during a maximal increase of metabolic demand achieved with and without vascular occlusion. Two isometric maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) of 30-s duration were executed with and without vascular occlusion and a 50% MVC lasting 125 s was also performed. The protocols were repeated on 2 different days. The results showed that, during vascular occlusion at rest, the time to 95% of the final haemoglobin (Hb) + myoglobin (Mb) desaturation value was independent of VO2. The MVC, performed during vascular occlusion, caused complete Hb+Mb desaturation in 15-20 s, which was not followed by any further desaturation when the second contraction was performed. No difference was found between VO2 during MVC with and without vascular occlusion. A consistent difference was seen between VO2 measured during occlusion at rest and VO2 measured during MVC with and without occlusion. During prolonged exercise (125 s) Hb+Mb desaturation was maintained for the whole contraction period. The results of this study show that VO2 can be measured noninvasively by NIRS. The VO2 during MVC was very similar both in the presence and absence of blood flow limitation in most of the subjects tested. This would suggest that muscle VO2 might be accurately evaluated dynamically without cuff occlusion.

Abstract—A novel parallel-prefix architecture for high speed modulo 2<super><it>n</it></super>-1 adders is presented. The proposed architecture is based on the idea of recirculating the generate and propagate signals, instead of the traditional end-around carry approach. Static CMOS implementations verify that the proposed architecture compares favorably with the already known parallel-prefix or carry look-ahead structures.

Comprehensive Description
The Volcano Hummingbird is endemic to the Central Cordillera in Costa Rica, and to the Talamanca Cordilleras of Costa Rica and western Panama. It occupies mountaintops from 1800 meters to the highest peaks, and descends as low as 1200 meters in the non-breeding season (Stiles & Skutch 1989). Individuals have a green back but exhibit clear sexual dimorphism that varies by region: males are distinguished by bright gorget color and the amount of buffy and black below the tail, which increase with latitude (Stiles & Skutch 1989). In contrast, females lack a colored gorget, have a white breast, and are slightly larger than males (Henderson 2002); average female weight is 2.8 g while average male weight is 2.5 grams (Stiles & Skutch 198), though both are approximately 7.5 centimeters in length (Garrigues & Dean 2007). Evolutionarily, mountaintops exist as genetic islands of suitable habitat, which contribute to regional variation within the species (Ditto & Frey 2007, Garrigues & Dean 2007). At these high elevations, the Volcano Hummingbird prefers to forage in montane forest and forest edges (including páramo), overgrown open areas, and gardens (Henderson 2002). Stiles and Skutch (1989) also note a preference for secondary growth resulting from volcanic eruptions, landslides, or human disturbance. Volcano hummingbirds are nectar-feeding trapliners, meaning they visit a regular circuit of the same flowers to forage (Gill 1988). Preferred nectar sources are a variety of small, often insect-pollinated flowers including Fuchsia, Salvia, Bomarea, foxglove (Digitalis), Indian paintbrush (Castilleja), blueberry (Vaccinium) and blackberry (Rubus), and Miconia (Henderson 2002). They will also filch nectar from tubular flowers in the territory of larger hummingbirds (Hilty 1994; Fogden & Fogden 2005). The Volcano Hummingbird enters torpor at night, a period when body temperature is lowered to near ambient to conserve energy (Bucher & Chappell 1997), and has a much faster metabolism than larger species (Wolf et al. 1975); a nesting female should visit about 2700 flowers per day to account for metabolic and foraging energy costs (Hainsworth & Wolf 1972). Stiles & Skutch (1989) observe that during the breeding season (August-February), female Volcano Hummingbirds construct compact cup nests decorated with moss and lichen on the outermost branches of trees and shrubs or dangling from overhanging banks facing south or east. Males are very territorial of desirable perches and surrounding foraging area and defend them with diving displays that include loud calls and wing snapping (Fogden & Fogden 2005; Clark et al. 2011). As with other high elevation species, the Volcano Hummingbird is sensitive to climate change that pushes suitable habitats further up mountaintops (Lawler et al. 2009).

Volcano hummingbird
The volcano hummingbird (Selasphorus flammula) is a very small hummingbird which breeds only in the mountains of Costa Rica and Chiriqui, Panama.
This tiny endemic bird inhabits open brushy areas, paramo, and edges of elfin forest at altitudes from 1850 m to the highest peaks. It is only 7.5 cm long. The male weighs 2.5 g and the female 2.8 g. The black bill is short and straight.
The adult male volcano hummingbird has bronze-green upperparts and rufous-edged black outer tail feathers. The throat is grey-purple in the Talamanca range, red in the Poas-Barva mountains and pink-purple in the Irazú-Turrialba area, the rest of the underparts being white. The female is similar, but her throat is white with dusky spots. Young birds resemble the female but have buff fringes to the upperpart plumage.
The female volcano hummingbird is entirely responsible for nest building and incubation. She lays two white eggs in her tiny plant-down cup nest 1–5 m high in a scrub or on a root below a south or east facing bank. Incubation takes 15–19 days, and fledging another 20-26.
The food of this species is nectar, taken from a variety of small flowers, including Salvia and Fuchsia, and species normally pollinated by insects. Like other hummingbirds it also takes some small insects as an essential source of protein. In the breeding season male volcano hummingbirds perch conspicuously in open areas with flowers and defend their feeding territories aggressively with diving displays. The call of this rather quiet species is a whistled teeeeuu.
This species is replaced at somewhat lower elevations by its relative, the scintillant hummingbird, Selasphorus scintilla.

By Karl Weisel (USAG Wiesbaden)October 23, 2012
WIESBADEN, Germany - With the world's resources dwindling at an ever faster rate and energy costs consistently rising, future planners are realizing that long-term sustainability demands creative solutions. That means including all aspects of energy use, waste disposal and alternative energy construction considerations when first approaching projects.
But encouraging everyone to play a role in long-term sustainability also means changing the way many people live their daily lives.
"Remember, it's about culture change," said Maj. Bill McGlothlin, operations officer for the U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden Directorate of Public Works. "It's hard to change a culture."
McGlothlin, who has dedicated much of his time in October during Energy Awareness Month to spreading the conservation message, spoke to David Craig's environmental science class at Wiesbaden High School Oct. 11.
Describing the Defense Department's drive to reduce energy costs by attempting to make military installations net zero -- meaning that input and output are balanced -- McGlothlin said the Army has mandated that several major posts accomplish this by 2025.
"We have the technology to do it, and you'll see more and more of this in the future. If you go to one of the big Army posts in the future you'll see evidence of that effort -- solar panels, increased recycling, geo thermal, etc.," he said. "This is not science fiction -- this is happening now.
"We, as Americans -- a lot of us don't think about it," said McGlothlin, telling the students that even on the local level, energy is a major concern.
"In Europe, energy is very expensive. Here in (USAG) Wiesbaden, our energy bill is $24 million a year, strictly for energy consumption," he said.
With still more people moving into the Wiesbaden military community, it is imperative that all members of the Army Family do their bit to help conserve, McGlothlin said. That means turning off lights when not in use, using energy-efficient devices such as washing machines at the energy-saving setting and not wasting resources by doing such things as opening the windows wide in winter while blasting radiators.
Americans can take a lesson from their German neighbors, he added, as leaders in the effort to develop and market solar energy, use of wind power and refuse recycling.
"I'd like for you to survey the school and find out how much is wasted," Craig asked his students. "I'd like for us as a school to get excited about this. How many kilowatts can we save?"
