David Beito, Ralph E. Luker, and Robert K. C. Johnson: The AHA's Double Standard on Academic FreedomRoundup: Talking About History
Has the AHA turned its back on academic freedom? In January, members present at its business meeting rejected a resolution to condemn attacks on academic freedom, whether from the right or from the left. Instead, they passed a weaker resolution that selectively condemned only threats coming from the right.
We weighed into this controversy as part of a three person "left/right" coalition for academic freedom. Our chances were slim and we knew it. Only in December did we learn that the AHA business meeting would consider a resolution to oppose David Horowitz's Academic Bill of Rights (ABOR). A leftist in the 1960s, Horowitz is now a militant activist for conservative causes. He founded the Center for the Study of Popular Culture in Los Angeles and publishes Front Page Magazine. Many of the provisions of Horowitz's ABOR seem laudable, at least on first scrutiny. It seeks to prohibit faculty from being hired on the basis of their political or religious beliefs. It requires that faculty expose students to diverse perspectives and, according to Horowitz, prohibits raising political issues in class that are outside the course subject matter. This provision opens the door for a student to file a complaint by making a charge of "indoctrination."1
Whatever the intentions of the drafters, the ABOR has already unleashed forces that seek to stifle free and open debate on campus. In Florida, for example, Representative Dennis Baxley says that his version of the ABOR would enable students to sue professors who do not teach Intelligent Design (ID). Horowitz denies that the ABOR would have this effect, but in doing so he raises additional troubling questions. His bill does not does mandate ID, he says, because it reserves special protection only for ideas within "the spectrum of significant scholarly opinion." This rationale provides little reassurance to a credible scholar who might advocate a new, and possibly controversial, approach that is not yet part of that spectrum.2
The most serious danger posed by the ABOR, however, is that it could snuff out all controversial discussion in the classroom. A campus governed by the ABOR would present professors with an impossible dilemma: either play it safe or risk administrative censure by saying something that might offend an overly sensitive student.

Lafcadia, a skilled and deadly Rajput warrior, works at the behest of a brutal local warlord who regularly sends Lafacadia to carry out such savage punishments as beheadings and pillaging raids of entire villages. Then one day, Lafcadia decides to go straight. In the middle of a massacre, a mystical encounter with a young girl brings about a moment of transformation in which the warrior drops his sword and vows never to kill again. Gathering his only son Katiba, Lafcadia hits the road and heads for his native mountain village. But the warlord who controls Lafcadia will not let his warrior go. The warlord soon dispatches a second warrior, the ruthless Biswas, to hunt down Lafcadia and bring back his head. Still Lafcadia will not be deterred.

Before & After: Thrift Store Dresser Goes Two Tone
Erin painted and primed the frame of the dresser with a lovely blue-grey (Cement Grey by Behr), then sanded and stained the drawers in Ebony (by Minwax). A couple of coats of wipe-on poly and the dresser was done. Erin used Barkeeper's Friend to shine up the drawer pulls, then found a new home for this dresser in her hallway. This type of combination finish is a great solution for a dresser with a battered frame but decent drawer fronts; the colorful paint covers up the flawed finish while staining the drawer fronts allows the lovely wood grain to shine through. For more information on this transformation, check out Richmond Thifter: Copying- the Best form of Flattery!? Images: Erin at Richmond Thrifter.

2004 Toyota Camry XLE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
As has been reported to Toyota and the NHTSA, the throttle body will fail on this vehicle due to a design flaw. Do a web search on this model of Toyota and you'll see numerous instances of "throttle body failure." We just had to spend $1100 getting it replaced on our 2004 Camry and because it is a design flaw, it will fail again. The car will simply stop in the middle of the road with no way of restarting it.
20 mpg city, 35 on the road, comfortable, quick and roomy ! I replaced the Michelins with Firestone Firehawk GT's and it became better in the corners and better in the snow.
Power Seat, sun roof, acceleration and trunk space.
CD player controls on the steering wheel, and redesign the seat belt pulleys.
Please note that if you have a 2004 or 2005 Toyota Camry, you may want to dump it now before it is too late. The vehicle has a part called the throttle body assembly which was of a faulty design and was redesigned. Toyota sent out a technical service bulletin reference number EG023-05. This part, the throttle body assembly with motor, costs $934. On our 2004 Toyota Camry XLE, replaced this on 08-06- 2007. On 09-09-2009, this part quit again and my wife had to walk an extended distance and Toyota refused to repair this faulty part for less than $1100.66. They had every excuse imaginable. Bottom line - Toyota does not stand behind their product - DUMP THEM.
Gas mileage is good.
Review and change the replacement policy for the throttle body assembly. If you have a faulty design don't force your errors on your loyal customers. Strange that this area is NOT covered in any extended warranty plan either!! WE JUST HAD OUR LAST TOYOTA after over fifteen years of Toyota ownership
Not the "bulletproof" Toyota I expected, but still a very good car for the price. The intermediate steering shaft went @ 36K and the water pump was leaking slightly @ the block. Both fixed under warranty. The front driver's seat has a squeak when you sit down and the wipers squeak against the window (tried both after market and Toyota replacements). Unlike others, no problems with the paint, rust @ the trunk lid, odors from the A/C or heater, or the auto transmission (shifts fine). Makes you wonder if Toyota has "built on Monday" problems like GM used to have. Got 60K out of the original Potenza tires -- I know, that's unbelievable. Rotated them often and watched the pressure.
The 4-cylinder engine is all the power you need. Took 2 adults w/luggage and the A/C running up and down the Great Smoky mountains with no problems (regular 87 octane gas). Car is nice & quiet @ 80 mph, too.
Do NOT trust the computer to calculate your mileage. Calculate it manually. You'll be surprised to see that the computer is OVERSTATING your mileage by 20%!! This is very deceptive on Toyota's part, I think. The computer knows EXACTLY how much gas you are using.
It's been 4 years since I picked up my Camry. It now has 99,000 miles, and I have had zero problems with it. I replaced the original Michelin tires at 75k miles, along with the rear brakes. Front brakes were done at 98,000 miles. I'd like to see improved instrument panel lighting. It is difficult for my 59 year old eyes to see the gauges (including the speedometer) at night. From what I've seen, this has been improved in later model years. Although this is a lot of car for the money, I would have gladly spent a bit more for traction control, but it was not available with the 4 cyl. engine.
I love the passenger room and storage space in the passenger compartment. I also love the large trunk.
Improve instrument panel lighting. Offer traction control for all models, not just the V6.

Use A Balloon To Make Custom Glassware
Camilla from Family Chic discovered a unique way to make entertaining a bit more colorful and personalized. If you're looking to emphasize your drinks or make your table feel more personalized for a get-together, a balloon can help. Cut either end off and slip the remaining middle part down over individual glasses. This simple trick makes them look like they've been dipped in paint or rubber. Best of all, the pieces can be saved for your next event and used again!

Elizabeth Bear's forensic magic
Subterranean Press has published a new ebook collection of Elizabeth Bear's stories featuring Lady Abigail Irene Garrett, sorcerer and sometimes official investigator in Bear's 'New Amsterdam' world. The five stories in 'Garrett Investigates' span the years from 1879 to 1941 in Bear's counterfactual universe, in which American colonies stayed under British rule, though restively, and thaumaturgy has been developed as a science.
Garrett would likely have much to talk about with Jane Tennison, the British Detective Chief Inspector played by Helen Mirren in "Prime Suspect." Both are women in authority navigating a male-dominated world, both have complicated personal lives and both could be said to drink too much. Garrett is feistier, though, and I don't think Tennison ever (1) had an affair with a prince (2) met Nikolai Tesla or (3) donated some of her blood to a hungry vampire. »Read Full Blog Post

Roach: Danny Garcia is Made To Order For Amir Khan
By Luis Sandoval
Freddie Roach is feeling very happy about his training and preparation for Amir Khan as they gear up to battle WBC Junior Welterweight champion Danny Garcia on July 14th at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV.
Khan is coming off a tough hard fight against Lamont Peterson last November and while he really wanted the rematch to settle the score, things didn't quite work out the way he wanted. Peterson tested positive for synthetic testosterone leading up to their rematch and was forced to pull out of the fight and left Khan looking for a new opponent.
When Roach spoke to BoxingScene, he was asked if he felt Danny Garcia was just as tough of an opponent as Peterson.
"No, I think Peterson is a much more experienced fighter. Much more polished. I think figuring the guys out and watching tapes of both fighters, I think Garcia is made to order for us" said the Hall of Fame trainer.
Roach, much like his fighter, has been the victim of some of Angel Garcia's recent verbal thrashings. Angel, who is the father and trainer of Danny Garcia, criticized Roach's training credentials and claimed every successful fighter he's had has already came to him groomed and ready to go.
Roach was asked about his thoughts and reaction to the statements Angel Garcia had made and Freddie couldn't help but smile. He's a guy who's seen and heard it all and Garcia's comments have little to no affect on him.
"It's like, is it really worth a response?" said Roach as he chuckled.
"I don't read the internet so I don't read negative information. It's not part of my life. Thing is, whatever he says, I talk about Sergio Martinez not being that good sometimes so it's just talk" said Roach as he continued to laugh. "It really doesn't affect me at all and best thing is it won't help him at all. His son will pay in the ring".

Growth in inflation-adjusted earnings, 1979-2004
November 01, 2005
Growth in earnings for white women has outpaced that for their black and Hispanic or Latino counterparts over the past 25 years.
Between 1979 and 2004, inflation-adjusted weekly earnings for white women grew fairly steadily, from $444 to $584 (32 percent). Earnings over the period grew from $408 to $505 (24 percent) for black women and from $379 to $419 (11 percent) for Hispanic or Latino women.
In contrast, real earnings for white and for black men rose only slightly, while those for Hispanic or Latino men fell by 9 percent.
These data on earnings are produced by the Current Population Survey. Earnings data in this article are median usual weekly earnings of full-time wage and salary workers. The Consumer Price Index research series using current methods (CPI-U-RS) was used for the inflation adjustment; the inflation-adjusted earnings are in 2004 dollars. For more information see "Highlights of Women's Earnings in 2004," BLS Report 987 (PDF 196K).

Perhaps you're on your own for the first time. Maybe you have tried to create a budget but failed. Or you have just never thought much about budgeting before. No matter what your life-situation is right now, creating a household budget may seem intimidating. However, a simple budget is actually quite straightforward!
If the whole idea of creating a budget seems overwhelming to you, take it one step at a time. Don't try to complete all the steps in a single sitting. Instead, set aside an hour for each activity and follow this step-by-step guide to generate a basic budget.
Get your information together
Pull together all your paperwork, including paycheck stubs, checkbook, bank statements, credit card statements, bills, and any receipts you have. If you haven't taken these items out of their envelopes, now is a great time to do so! Get everything you have together in one place. Don't worry about sorting it now or making any sense of it. Just get those little pieces of paper altogether in one place.
What's coming in?
On a single sheet of paper, list all your income. This includes income from work, tips, house-sitting, babysitting, selling things on eBay, a part-time job, stock dividends, interest, etc. for an average month. List the amounts in gross (before taxes or any other deductions). If you have sporadic income because you don't receive a regular paycheck, take your best conservative guess at what you earn in a normal month.
Make sure you figure on the low end if you have irregular income. Overestimating your income won't help your budget at all. It will only hurt you in the future!
What's going out?
This list is usually much longer than the previous one, unfortunately! Using your paycheck stubs, bills, bank statements, and credit card statements, list your expenditures for a typical month in two columns: Fixed Expenses and Discretionary Expenses. Your fixed expenses normally include payroll deductions, rent or mortgage, property taxes, insurance, car payment, utility bills, credit card payments, and savings. Your discretionary expenses would normally include things like groceries, gasoline, eating out, clothing, hair care, memberships, and entertainment. Now you see where the money is going. Financial tools do exist that can alleviate some of the burden. For example, if you're wondering how to handle your withholding allowances at work, there are a number of free calculators online that can determine that for you. Aside from that, there are a number of free and paid budgeting software programs that can easily help you manage your budget.
What's the difference?
Compare your income to your expenses. Are you spending more money than you make each month? Are your credit card payments a large portion of your fixed expenses? Do you have "mystery" expenditures in your discretionary expenses side of the list? If so, make it a habit to start writing down ALL your spending. Chances are, you'll find you're frittering away $5 or $10 on lunch or at the drugstore on items you don't even remember purchasing. If you're out of balance (you're spending more than you're making), you have two choices: spend less or make more. Keep re-thinking your spending until you have a workable budget – one in which the "money in" side is AT LEAST equal to the "money out" side and you are paying down your debt. Take a look at my previous article, "Two Words That Can Cause the Most Damage to your Budget: It's Only" so you can see how the little expenses really do add up.
Stick to the plan!
This step is often the hardest. It's easy to write out a budget on paper, but it's much tougher to say no when the office gang is heading out for margaritas after work on Friday and you've already spent your fun money for the week. Remind yourself that budgets are like diets: If you splurge in one place, you need to make up for it somewhere else, or you'll have to suffer the consequences.
Once you know where your budget is leaking, you can turn off the faucet! When you are serious about developing a budget that sets you on the path to financial peace of mind, there are many good money management and budget sources available to use. Search the library or the internet for easy to follow, simple budgeting tools and put them to work for you. My article, "How To Build a Monthly Budget the Old-Fashioned Way" can also give you some guidance.

In honor of Rose McGowan's 39th birthday, the gallery has been updated with glorious Blu-ray screencaptures of one of Rose's more recent movies, Dead Awake. Rose plays Charlie in the Omar Naim directed film, a character who is, in Rose's own words, "a semi-homeless crackhead who I think is half cracked and half schizophrenic." A different type of a role for our lady, that is for sure!
Enjoy the screencaps!

On the second of the Rose McGowan Birthday Week, Rose-McGowan.com brings you screencaptures from Still Screaming: The Ultimate Scary Movie Retrospective, a Scream documentary that was produced in the wake of the release of Scream 4 in 2011.

Our favorite leading lady, Miss Rose McGowan, celebrates her 39th birthday this week! As part of the birthday celebrations, Rose-McGowan.com will be updated with exciting new goodies every day this week.
We're kicking off the birthday week with Blu-ray screencaptures of one of Rose's very first roles; Nora in Encino Man (1992). Perhaps not one of Rose's proudest on screen moments but hey, we all need to start somewhere! I think the film is worth watching to see Rose as a teenager. A cute little flashback to the beginning of her career, I'd say!

I have replaced our old DVD screencaps of Rose McGowan in The Black Dahlia with brand spankin' crisp and gorgeous Blu-ray ones. Just have a look at the stunning quality of these, it really is quite something! Expect more Blu-ray quality screencaptures in the near future. If there is a specific film that you'd like to see screencaptured next, don't hesitate to let us know in the comments.
Did you know that Brian De Palma handpicked Rose for the role of Sheryl Saddon? The role is more of a cameo but it is quite a gem as McGowan is as magnetic and funny as ever as the aspiring actress with a bite!

Rose McGowan attended the 8th Annual Johnny Ramone Tribute at the Hollywood Forever Cemetary yesterday (August 19, 2012) in Hollywood, California. She posed for photos together with friends Henry Rollins, Linda Ramone and Tommy Ramone.

First photos from the event are now available in the gallery for your viewing pleasure.

The gallery has been updated with the freshly released The Tell-Tale Heart poster and a handful of images from the set of the film, which is set for a 2013 debut.
Director John LaTier had this to say about the film and poster: "We hope the release of this poster will delight our fans, who have been patiently waiting for updates and a trailer from our film. We are in post production now, and though I cannot give away too many details yet, this poster and sweepstakes are leading up to a bigger announcement in just a few short weeks."
In addition to the poster, the film is also holding a sweepstakes for a chance to have comic book illustrator Rob Prior (Marvel, D.C., Image Comics) immortalize the lucky winner as a background character in some accompanying concept art. To enter, head to the The Tell-Tale Heart Facebook page.

Did you know that all the way back in 1989 Rose McGowan made her first silver screen appearance? That's right! In Seattle, a 16-year old Rose was an extra in a horror film called Class of 1999, which was consequently released in 1990. She has no actual lines but does appear in the background of a handful of scenes. Regardless, this has been an exciting find for us McGowaniacs and we are now able to bring you screencaptures of Rose's cameo appearance. You may have to look hard to spot her in some of those scenes – but it's worth it!
The film is available on DVD on Amazon if you're interested in purchasing a copy.

They think I'm crazy. I would rather die than to be like them.

The music video for RAC's Hollywood, featuring an awesome cameo by Rose McGowan, has been released. Directed by Ryan Reichenfeld and shot in Los Angeles, the video tells the story of an 1850s cowboy and his horse as they experience and explore modern day LA.

Project Kenya
Volunteer clowns return to Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya, the oldest refugee camp in the world.
Take Laughter With You
Clowns Without Borders launches a new domestic education program called, "Take Laughter With You." Find out more!
Turkey July 2016
A coup attempt in Turkey could not stop the clowns from sharing laughter and joy for refugees living in Turkey.
Clowns Without Borders (CWB-USA) is a non-profit organization which offers resilience through laughter. We aim to relieve the suffering of all persons, especially children, who live in areas of crisis including refugee camps, conflict zones and other situations of adversity. We partner with individuals and organizations to bring small teams of professional performing artists to share performances and workshops with children and their families in refugee camps, conflict zones, or with communities who have experienced trauma or crisis.
Clowns Without Borders USA advocates for Resilience Through Laughter. We bring levity, contemporary clown/circus-oriented performances and workshops into communities, so that community members can celebrate together and forget for a moment the tensions that darken their daily lives. We initiate resilience through laughter with social circus, psychosocial support through play, restorative narrative, and collaborative communication. We also seek to raise our society's awareness of affected populations and to promote a spirit of solidarity.
In July of 1993, a clown from Barcelona, Spain, named Tortell Poltrona, was asked by a group of school children there to help out some friends. These Catalan children had been corresponding with children living in a refugee camp in Croatia who had witnessed the Yugoslav Wars of 1991-1995. The children in the refugee camp told their Catalan friends, "You know what we miss most? We miss laughter, to have fun, to enjoy ourselves." Tortell took his car and a small troupe of clowns with him to the camp without any idea of what to expect. Hundreds of children and families greeted him—nearly the entire camp! The clowns performed and then in their laughter and applause, the children asked the team, "When will you all return again?" Payasos Sin Fronteras (Clowns Without Borders) was born. Inspired by Poltrona's work, Moshe Cohen then founded Clowns Without Borders USA in 1995. CWB-USA now coordinates as a member of the international federation, Clowns Without Borders International.
Get involved
Without members, donors and volunteers, Clowns Without Borders couldn't carry on the vital work of spreading joy to children who need it the very most. Please consider joining us in our mission. See how you can get involved!

Protests over Russian anti-gay law focus on Sochi
NEW YORK -- Despite seven months of international outcry, Russia's law restricting gay-rights activity remains in place. Yet the eclectic protest campaign has heartened activists in Russia and caught the attention of its targets -- including organizers and sponsors of the Sochi Olympics that open on Friday.
Over the past two weeks, two major sponsors, Coca-Cola and McDonald's, have seen some of their Sochi-related social media campaigns commandeered by gay-rights supporters who want the companies to condemn the law. Several activists plan to travel to Sochi, hoping to team up with sympathetic athletes to protest the law while in the Olympic spotlight.
And on Friday, a coalition of 40 human-rights and gay-rights groups from the U.S., Western Europe and Russia released an open letter to the 10 biggest Olympic sponsors, urging them to denounce the law and run ads promoting equality for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people.
"LGBT people must not be targeted with violence or deprived of their ability to advocate for their own equality," the letter said. "As all eyes turn toward Sochi, we ask you to stand with us."
The law, signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in July, bans pro-gay "propaganda" that could be accessible to minors -- a measure viewed by activists as forbidding almost any public expression of gay-rights sentiment. The law cleared parliament virtually unopposed and has extensive public support in Russia.
Since July, when they launched a boycott of Russian vodka, activists have pressed the International Olympic Committee and Olympic sponsors to call for the law's repeal. Instead, the IOC and top sponsors have expressed general opposition to discrimination and pledged to ensure that athletes, spectators and others gathering for the Games would not be affected by the law. Putin has given similar assurances in regard to Sochi, but remains committed to the law's broader purposes.
IOC President Thomas Bach has warned Olympic athletes that they are barred from political gestures while on medal podiums or in other official venues, but says they are free to make political statements at news conferences.
Gay Australian snowboarder Belle Brockhoff is one of several Olympians promising to display the logo P6 -- a reference to Principle Six of the Olympic Charter that says any form of discrimination "is incompatible with belonging to the Olympic Movement."
President Barack Obama, who has criticized the Russian law, is skipping the Olympics and named a U.S. delegation that includes tennis great Billie Jean King and two other openly gay athletes.
In the U.S., recent protest initiatives have focused on Sochi sponsors, notably Coca-Cola and McDonald's.
In McDonald's case, the company's #CheersToSochi Twitter hashtag has been used by activists in tweets condemning the Russian law and assailing McDonald's for not speaking out forcibly against it.

Birdies For Charity
Birdies for Charity® is a fundraising program designed in 1997, to give participating charities and schools the opportunity to generate contributions through the Valero Texas Open. Birdies for Charity is a no-cost program that gives 100% of the funds raised back to the participating organization. Funds are generated by soliciting pledges from individuals and corporations.
Birdies for Charity is like a walk-a-thon, but instead of donating per mile, participants make a pledge for every birdie made at the Valero Texas Open. The 2016 Valero Texas Open had 1,834 birdies made, so a pledge of $0.01 yielded a donation of $18.34.
Donors also have the ability to make a one-time donation and flexibility to pay in advance or to be billed after the tournament. Donations are accepted from anywhere around the world and are tax deductible.
The 2017 Birdies for Charity fundraising campaign is held October 2016 – April 23, 2017. Registration for charities and schools to participate in the campaign is presently open.
What is a birdie?
In golf, "par" is the normal expected score on any given hole. Every one of the 18 holes on a golf course has its own "par" assigned to it. A "birdie" is one stroke under par for a hole, possibly derived from the term "It flew like a bird" to indicate a good shot.
Ex. Par 5 on Hole 18 at TPC San Antonio, AT&T Oaks Course, a Birdie would be 4, an Eagle would be 3, and a Double Eagle would be 2 strokes (hits) to get the ball in from the tee box, onto the green and into the hole.
"Guess the Birdies" Contest
To add excitement, donors can participate in the "Guess the Birdies" contest. Participants simply guess how many birdies will be made from Monday and Wednesday's pro-ams on the host course (AT&T Oaks Course) including amateurs and pros, in addition to the birdies made by the pros, Thursday-Sunday of competition.
The individual with the correct guess wins the grand prize, a Stay-and-Play Package to TPC San Antonio and JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort. Ties are determined through a tiebreaker event. And if no one guesses correctly, the computer will randomly select the grand prize winner.
Attendance Incentive
Donors who make a contribution through Birdies for Charity and also attend the Valero Texas Open (April 20-23) shall stop by the Charity Pavilion in the Gatorade Fan Fest at main gate entrance to check in and get entered into drawing for a two-year lease on a brand-new Ford vehicle. Each day attended, earns one additional entry into drawing per day. One lucky donor will win. The lucky winner will also earn the charity they selected as the recipient of their donation a $20,000 donation in their honor from the Valero Texas Open.
Birdies History
Birdies made in past tournaments:
- 2010 – 1,954 birdies*
- 2011 – 1,950 birdies
- 2012 – 2,022 birdies
- 2013 – 1,640 birdies
- 2014 – 1,784 birdies
- 2015 – 2,103 birdies
- 2016 – 1,834 birdies
*The Valero Texas Open moved to their new tournament home, TPC San Antonio.
Since 1997, the Valero Texas Open has been committed to making the Birdies for Charity program succeed. In 2016, Birdies for Charity raised a record-breaking $2.78M for over 125 participating charities and schools with a collection rate of 99.994%.

The second room on second night was the exact opposite, based on the 3rd floor, no air conditioning and it was about 30 degrees. Offered a fan to compensate which would not have done the job. Ended up having to change rooms but this took over half an hour to arrange and in turn made us late for the event that we had come for.
Dear guest, Thank you for your feedback following your recent stay with us. We appreciate that you enjoyed part of your stay the first night, but apologize for the shortcomings on the second day. We indeed still require a refurbishment on the third floor and are looking to implement that at our earliest opportunity to get all the rooms in line. We are sorry for the inconvenience and delay in moving rooms and the fact that the room was too hot on the second night. We hope we may welcome you back soon again to experience a hassle free stay. Kindest regards, Tony Tijhuis General Manager

Non-linear dynamical signal characterization for prediction of defibrillation success through machine learning
Shandilya, Sharad

BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making
Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) is a common presenting dysrhythmia in the setting of cardiac arrest whose main treatment is defibrillation through direct current countershock to achieve return of spontaneous circulation. However, often defibrillation is unsuccessful and may even lead to the transition of VF to more nefarious rhythms such as asystole or pulseless electrical activity. Multiple methods have been proposed for predicting defibrillation success based on examination of the VF waveform. To date, however, no analytical technique has been widely accepted. We developed a unique approach of computational VF waveform analysis, with and without addition of the signal of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PetCO2), using advanced machine learning algorithms. We compare these results with those obtained using the Amplitude Spectral Area (AMSA) technique.
A total of 90 pre-countershock ECG signals were analyzed form an accessible preshosptial cardiac arrest database. A unified predictive model, based on signal processing and machine learning, was developed with time-series and dual-tree complex wavelet transform features. Upon selection of correlated variables, a parametrically optimized support vector machine (SVM) model was trained for predicting outcomes on the test sets. Training and testing was performed with nested 10-fold cross validation and 6–10 features for each test fold.
The integrative model performs real-time, short-term (7.8 second) analysis of the Electrocardiogram (ECG). For a total of 90 signals, 34 successful and 56 unsuccessful defibrillations were classified with an average Accuracy and Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 82.2% and 85%, respectively. Incorporation of the end-tidal carbon dioxide signal boosted Accuracy and ROC AUC to 83.3% and 93.8%, respectively, for a smaller dataset containing 48 signals. VF analysis using AMSA resulted in accuracy and ROC AUC of 64.6% and 60.9%, respectively.
We report the development and first-use of a nontraditional non-linear method of analyzing the VF ECG signal, yielding high predictive accuracies of defibrillation success. Furthermore, incorporation of features from the PetCO2 signal noticeably increased model robustness. These predictive capabilities should further improve with the availability of a larger database.

2009;9(Suppl 1):S8.
The analysis of pelvic CT scans is a crucial step for detecting and assessing the severity of Traumatic Pelvic Injuries. Automating the processing of pelvic CT scans could impact decision accuracy, decrease the time for decision making, and reduce health care cost. This paper discusses a method to automate the segmentation of bone from pelvic CT images. Accurate segmentation of bone is very important for developing an automated assisted-decision support system for Traumatic Pelvic Injury diagnosis and treatment.
The automated method for pelvic CT bone segmentation is a hierarchical approach that combines filtering and histogram equalization, for image enhancement, wavelet analysis and automated seeded region growing. Initial results of segmentation are used to identify the region where bone is present and to target histogram equalization towards the specific area. Speckle Reducing Anisotropic Didffusion (SRAD) filter is applied to accentuate the desired features in the region. Automated seeded region growing is performed to refine the initial bone segmentation results.
The proposed method automatically processes pelvic CT images and produces accurate segmentation. Bone connectivity is achieved and the contours and sizes of bones are true to the actual contour and size displayed in the original image. Results are promising and show great potential for fracture detection and assessing hemorrhage presence and severity.
Preliminary experimental results of the automated method show accurate bone segmentation. The novelty of the method lies in the unique hierarchical combination of image enhancement and segmentation methods that aims at maximizing the advantages of the combined algorithms. The proposed method has the following advantages: it produces accurate bone segmentation with maintaining bone contour and size true to the original image and is suitable for automated bone segmentation from pelvic CT images.

BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making
2009;9(Suppl 1):S6.
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has been proven to be useful for studying brain functions. However, due to the existence of noise and distortion, mapping between the fMRI signal and the actual neural activity is difficult. Because of the difficulty, differential pattern analysis of fMRI brain images for healthy and diseased cases is regarded as an important research topic. From fMRI scans, increased blood ows can be identified as activated brain regions. Also, based on the multi-sliced images of the volume data, fMRI provides the functional information for detecting and analyzing different parts of the brain.
In this paper, the capability of a hierarchical method that performed an optimization algorithm based on modified maximum model (MCM) in our previous study is evaluated. The optimization algorithm is designed by adopting modified maximum correlation model (MCM) to detect active regions that contain significant responses. Specifically, in the study, the optimization algorithm is examined based on two groups of datasets, dyslexia and healthy subjects to verify the ability of the algorithm that enhances the quality of signal activities in the interested regions of the brain. After verifying the algorithm, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is applied to identify the difference between healthy and dyslexia subjects.
We successfully showed that our optimization algorithm improves the fMRI signal activity for both healthy and dyslexia subjects. In addition, we found that DWT based features can identify the difference between healthy and dyslexia subjects.
The results of this study provide insights of associations of functional abnormalities in dyslexic subjects that may be helpful for neurobiological identification from healthy subject.

BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making
2009;9(Suppl 1):S4.
Accurate analysis of CT brain scans is vital for diagnosis and treatment of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). Automatic processing of these CT brain scans could speed up the decision making process, lower the cost of healthcare, and reduce the chance of human error. In this paper, we focus on automatic processing of CT brain images to segment and identify the ventricular systems. The segmentation of ventricles provides quantitative measures on the changes of ventricles in the brain that form vital diagnosis information.
First all CT slices are aligned by detecting the ideal midlines in all images. The initial estimation of the ideal midline of the brain is found based on skull symmetry and then the initial estimate is further refined using detected anatomical features. Then a two-step method is used for ventricle segmentation. First a low-level segmentation on each pixel is applied on the CT images. For this step, both Iterated Conditional Mode (ICM) and Maximum A Posteriori Spatial Probability (MASP) are evaluated and compared. The second step applies template matching algorithm to identify objects in the initial low-level segmentation as ventricles. Experiments for ventricle segmentation are conducted using a relatively large CT dataset containing mild and severe TBI cases.
Experiments show that the acceptable rate of the ideal midline detection is over 95%. Two measurements are defined to evaluate ventricle recognition results. The first measure is a sensitivity-like measure and the second is a false positive-like measure. For the first measurement, the rate is 100% indicating that all ventricles are identified in all slices. The false positives-like measurement is 8.59%. We also point out the similarities and differences between ICM and MASP algorithms through both mathematically relationships and segmentation results on CT images.
The experiments show the reliability of the proposed algorithms. The novelty of the proposed method lies in its incorporation of anatomical features for ideal midline detection and the two-step ventricle segmentation method. Our method offers the following improvements over existing approaches: accurate detection of the ideal midline and accurate recognition of ventricles using both anatomical features and spatial templates derived from Magnetic Resonance Images.

BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making
2009;9(Suppl 1):S2.
Traumatic pelvic injuries are often associated with severe, life-threatening hemorrhage, and immediate medical treatment is therefore vital. However, patient prognosis depends heavily on the type, location and severity of the bone fracture, and the complexity of the pelvic structure presents diagnostic challenges. Automated fracture detection from initial patient X-ray images can assist physicians in rapid diagnosis and treatment, and a first and crucial step of such a method is to segment key bone structures within the pelvis; these structures can then be analyzed for specific fracture characteristics. Active Shape Model has been applied for this task in other bone structures but requires manual initialization by the user. This paper describes a algorithm for automatic initialization and segmentation of key pelvic structures - the iliac crests, pelvic ring, left and right pubis and femurs - using a hierarchical approach that combines directed Hough transform and Active Shape Models.
Performance of the automated algorithm is compared with results obtained via manual initialization. An error measures is calculated based on the shapes detected with each method and the gold standard shapes. ANOVA results on these error measures show that the automated algorithm performs at least as well as the manual method. Visual inspection by two radiologists and one trauma surgeon also indicates generally accurate performance.
The hierarchical algorithm described in this paper automatically detects and segments key structures from pelvic X-rays. Unlike various other x-ray segmentation methods, it does not require manual initialization or input. Moreover, it handles the inconsistencies between x-ray images in a clinical environment and performs successfully in the presence of fracture. This method and the segmentation results provide a valuable base for future work in fracture detection.

A comparative analysis of multi-level computer-assisted decision making systems for traumatic injuries

BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making
This paper focuses on the creation of a predictive computer-assisted decision making system for traumatic injury using machine learning algorithms. Trauma experts must make several difficult decisions based on a large number of patient attributes, usually in a short period of time. The aim is to compare the existing machine learning methods available for medical informatics, and develop reliable, rule-based computer-assisted decision-making systems that provide recommendations for the course of treatment for new patients, based on previously seen cases in trauma databases. Datasets of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients are used to train and test the decision making algorithm. The work is also applicable to patients with traumatic pelvic injuries.
Decision-making rules are created by processing patterns discovered in the datasets, using machine learning techniques. More specifically, CART and C4.5 are used, as they provide grammatical expressions of knowledge extracted by applying logical operations to the available features. The resulting rule sets are tested against other machine learning methods, including AdaBoost and SVM. The rule creation algorithm is applied to multiple datasets, both with and without prior filtering to discover significant variables. This filtering is performed via logistic regression prior to the rule discovery process.
For survival prediction using all variables, CART outperformed the other machine learning methods. When using only significant variables, neural networks performed best. A reliable rule-base was generated using combined C4.5/CART. The average predictive rule performance was 82% when using all variables, and approximately 84% when using significant variables only. The average performance of the combined C4.5 and CART system using significant variables was 89.7% in predicting the exact outcome (home or rehabilitation), and 93.1% in predicting the ICU length of stay for airlifted TBI patients.
This study creates an efficient computer-aided rule-based system that can be employed in decision making in TBI cases. The rule-bases apply methods that combine CART and C4.5 with logistic regression to improve rule performance and quality. For final outcome prediction for TBI cases, the resulting rule-bases outperform systems that utilize all available variables.

I found out the result of the biopsies today and the doctor said it was cancer. Please pray for healing. I am also facing financial problems as I will not be getting anymore spousal support, therefore I will not have money for house payments and bills. I haven't been able to get a full time job and working part time does not cover the bills. I owe the IRS from a past mistake and they would not accept my offer in compromise and wouldn't take off the penalties and interest which have quadrupled the amount I owe. My family members are deceased so I don't have anyone to fall back on. As you can tell I am facing more problems than I can bare. I know that God is bigger than all of my problems but I still could use some prayer.

Wife filed for divorce in November. Attempted to register for Weekend to Remember retreat being held in Dayton 4/22 - 4/25, sadly it is sold out. She actually agreed to go!
She is hurting, largely from old wounds not forgiven. Those wounds by me have been repented numerous times but are not forgiven. Additional wounds are from childhood home. Our teenage children of this 27-year marriage are devastated by her actions. They are fighting depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and trouble in school. Their efforts to communicate their hurts to her are rejected by her.
Please pray for healing for wife and children and to help me continue the "War Room" approach to restoring wife as whole person, spouse, mother to children, and helping children be restored as whole persons who truly feel God's love for them. Most assuredly, pray for wife to truly forgive from the heart. Pray God continues me on my path to being a more Godly man.
Maybe praying for access to the Weekend to Remember in Dayton, not just a name on the waiting list, would be good.
No matter what, I have been and will still praise God!

Rampage's heart hasn't been in this for years. He's also fed up with it to boot.
He only fights for a check now. I don't think he even wants to keep fighting, but I guess the money's been worth it.

He was very motivated against Jones recently and looked in great shape. If he still takes care of himself like that he can beat anybody on any given night and he sure as hell wouldn't have had much trouble with Bader.

And so I will repeat myself.
He hasn't been motivated in years.
Would he have liked to win the fight? Of course. But he isn't the same fighter he once was. I'm sure age, injuries, physical decline, etc. also have something to do with it, surely, but he hasn't had his heart in the game for years.
But who knows, maybe I'm wrong. I guess if you can't get up for a title fight though you really, really need to hang up the gloves, so you may be right.

Against Jones he had absolutely no game plan. Seriously, he ran in there thinking he was going to land some looping hooks on Jones...

Hope they put him in there with a striker. Maybe he wins, maybe he gets destroyed, but at least it'll be more fun than seeing him look bored against wrestlers. It's probably not the case, but I hope he'd show more desire to fight if it was against the sort of guy who will stand and bang with him.
Rampage-Stann would be good if Stann ever moves back up. Would also like to see Rampage-Feijão.

Doctor insights on:
What Causes My Ears To Pop And Feel Almost Like Water Is In Them
What causes my ears to pop and feel almost like water is in them?
Pop and water in the: This complaint may be due to either water or wax that are trapped in your outer ear canal, fluid collection behind your ear drum as commonly happens after a cold, dysfunction of the connection between the middle ear and the back of the nose (the eustachian tube) as occurs commonly with nasal congestion/cold, bubbles naturally found in the lower jaw joint or when the ear drum is perforated. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
I have a cold & have just experienced a popping in both ears. Like my head is under water. I'm also having very bad memory loss half way through talki?
Get checked now.: The loss of memory is NOT typical of a cold. It is also worrying. Stop any over the counter medications you are taking and do not drink alcohol or use any recreational drugs. Do not drive if you have sudden memory loss. Go to the ED now to be sure something is not seriously wrong with your brain. ...Read more

What causes my ears to pop at work?
Eustachian tube: Eustachian tube dysfunction is the inability to equalize effectively. If you can yawn or swallow to open up your eustachian tube and equalize, that is the most simple solution. Some people will use over-the-counter decongestantl to help with hopeful quick success. If this does not work or this is persistent, you see an md to ensure nothing worse is happening. ...Read more
What causes my ears to pop extremely loudly when I swallow or wiggle my jaw?
ETD: Ears popping with swallowing or jaw movement, most commonly, is due to eustachian tube dysfunction. The eustachian tube connects the middle ear with the back of the nose. The muscles of swallowing are also the muscles the open and close the eustachian tube. Colds, allergies, ear infection as well as other swelling and inflammation can lead to eustachian tube dysfunction (etd) and ear popping. ...Read moreSee 1 more doctor answer
Can a cold cause your ears to pop and crack when swallowing? Does it mean you have fluid? Does that mean you have an inner ear problem?
Eustacian Tube : The eustacian tube allow you to pressurize the air in the middle ear behind the eardrum (i.e. When flying). This tube opens into the back of the nose. Any swelling in the nose, like a cold, can affect the et, leading to ear pressure change. This does not mean you have fluid in the middle ear- though you may if you can't hear-. It does mean the eusctacian tube is temporarily dysfunctional. ...Read more
