Man jailed on charges he assaulted woman
An Erie man wanted since August on charges of assaulting a woman and holding her against her will was brought back to Erie for arraignment after his apprehension in New York City.
Jose R. Andrades, 51, was wanted on charges of aggravated assault, unlawful restraint, possessing an instrument of crime, terroristic threats, simple assault and recklessly endangering in the incident, which police said happened at an East Seventh Street residence between Aug. 18 and 24.
City police accused Andrades of beating the woman, choking her until she nearly lost consciousness and threatening her with a knife. Police charge that Andrades would not let the woman leave or use the telephone, according to the criminal complaint.
Andrades was charged on Aug. 26. He was picked up on Erie's warrant in New York City, police said Wednesday.
Erie 1st Ward District Judge Sue Mack arraigned Andrades on the charges Wednesday morning and placed him in the Erie County Prison on $25,000 bond.

Man shot by police may have feared robbery
PHILADELPHIA -- Police said a man shot and wounded by plainclothes officers in Philadelphia was a pizza deliveryman who may have mistaken them for robbers.
Police said two officers responding to a report of gunshots just before 10 p.m. Tuesday in southwest Philadelphia saw a man walking down the street and tried to stop him.
Police said the man jumped into a car and drove toward the officers, who fired because they feared for their safety.
Deputy Commissioner Richard Ross said the man may not have heard the officers identify themselves. He said it appears to be "a totally unfortunate situation."

If America Wants to Kill Science, It's on Its Way

Science and sexism: In the eye of the Twitterstorm
When Fiona Ingleby took to Twitter last April to vent about a journal's peer-review process, she didn't expect much of a response. With only around 100 followers on the social-media network, Ingleby — an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Sussex near Brighton, UK — guessed that she might receive a few messages of support or commiseration from close colleagues. What she got was an overwhelming wave of reaction. Social media has enabled an increasingly public discussion about the persistent problem of sexism in science.
Let me tell you about my trouble with girls
Sir Tim Hunt FRS, who received the The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2001 for "discoveries of key regulators of the cell cycle" has resigned from his positions as Honorary Professor at University College London and member of the Royal Society's Biological Sciences Awards Committee after making controversial comments at the 2015 World Conference of Science Journalists in Seoul. He said: "Let me tell you about my trouble with girls ... three things happen when they are in the lab ...

We may get a shirt celebrating women in science.
Thanks To That Shirt, We May Get a Shirt Celebrating Women In Science by Mika McKinnon for io9:
"Along with [the newly-designed shirt] provoking quite a few giggles, Elly Zupko, the woman behind the design has been talked into trying to make the shirt for real with the intention of donating proceeds to science diversity programs. She's soliciting names and images of women in science who should be featured on the fabric. Zupko has a lot of logistics to figure out, but she's enthusiastic and buoyed by the support of others eager to celebrate the wide diversity of women in science who have contributed so much over the years. If all goes well, the take-away of this mess will be the Project Scientist for the another incredible space mission wearing another shirt covered in ladies, but this time celebrating them instead of objectifying them.[more inside]
Second Wave feminist SF
Janus was nominated for three "Best Fanzine" Hugos in 1978, 1979 and 1980. Jeanne Gomoll was nominated for two "Best Fan Artist" Hugos in 1978 and 1980. Janus and Aurora were the most prominent feminist science fiction fanzines of their time. With the exception of Amanda Bankier's fanzine, The Witch and the Chameleon, which ceased publication in 1976, Janus and Aurora were the ONLY fanzines with this focus.The full archives of Janus & Aurora, the feminist science fiction fanzine created by the people who went on to create Wiscon, the feminist sf convention.

When words fail: women, science, and women-in-science – [Trigger warning for this and all following links] by Jacquelyn Gill (@JacquelynGill):
The seminars, workshops, blogs, op-eds, research, policy papers, luncheons, and happy hour discussions are all valuable, and important, and they need to continue. But when the beer is drunk, and the pizza gone cold, and the printed articles relegated to the recycling bin, we are left with words: words written by us and about us, spoken in confidence, tossed like poisoned barbs in the comments sections, smoldering as craters in our in-boxes, pounding in our ears when we run it out at the gym.[more inside]

girls and technology!
WYNC's Manoush Zomorodi investigates the gender gap in tech and computer science, and finds a number of people working towards bridging that gap, from childhood to university: completely restructuring a required computer science course to make it more welcoming to female university students, celebrating women in computing history (and recognizing that computer science wasn't so male-dominated, and making children's books and toys (even dollhouses!) for kids to explore programming concepts on their own. She also noticed that the majority of female computer science students in the US had grown up overseas - possibly because computer science isn't a common subject in American high schools. This is slated to change: a new AP Computer Science subject is in the works, with efforts to get 10,000 highly-trained computer science teachers in 10,000 high schools across the US.

There is no such thing as concrete, binary "biological sex."

17 Lies We Need to Stop Teaching Girls About Sex
Whether it's the constant fretting over Miley Cyrus' influence on school girls or the growing (and troubling) tradition of Purity Balls, it's clear that society has a fascination with young women's sexuality — especially when it comes to controlling it. But what are we actually teaching today's girls about sex? Fueled by outdated ideals of gender roles and the sense that female sexuality is somehow shameful, there seem to be certain pernicious myths about girls and sex that just won't die. That sex education in America has gaping holes in its curriculum hasn't helped much, either; in a recent Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report just 6 out of 10 girls said that their schools' sex ed program included information on how to say no to sex. This lack of personal agency was reflected in a forthcoming study by sociologist Heather Hlavka at Marquette University as well, which found that many young girls think of sex simply as something that is "done to them." Knowledge is power, and we can promote a healthier relationship with sex by encouraging a more open dialogue, teaching girls to feel comfortable with their sexuality and, most importantly, emphasizing that their bodies are theirs and theirs alone.
But first, we're going to need to stop perpetuating the following 17 myths about female sexuality.[more inside]

Make Babies
"Older parenthood will upend American society." "Is waiting to have kids a big mistake?" "Why do women believe they can delay children for so long?" "Older men are more likely than young ones to father a child who develops autism or schizophrenia, because of random mutations that become more numerous with advancing paternal age."
'Princess Scientists' Stir Controversy
"Feminine stereotypes historically have haunted women scientists, including Rosalind Franklin, a co-discoverer of DNA. In his 1968 account 'The Double Helix,' James Watson, one of the genetics pioneers who had relied on Franklin's work, unflatteringly recounted Franklin's lack of lipstick and her unwillingness to dress in a more feminine manner. But the idea of combining 'beauty and brains' may represent progress of sorts. Two decades ago, Teen Talk Barbie was telling young American girls, 'Math class is tough.' The Miss Rikei Contest stands directly opposed to that message, as does Ebbel Angle's encouragement of young girls who want to become princess scientists." (LiveScience.com)

Gender Based Brain Research
A review of the current state of gender based brain research shows that women and men differ both in the way their brains are constructed and in how they function.
..correlation between brain region size in adults and sex steroid action in utero suggests that at least some sex differences in cognitive function do not result from cultural influences or the hormonal changes associated with puberty--they are there from birth.Treatment for such things as schizophrenia and depression will likely have gender specific variations in the future. Previously, brain research that examined gender differences was considered controversial because it was argued that the results might give rise to more sex discrimination against women. That view may be changing.
Hypothesis as thought-crime
Hypothesis as thought-crime...Now, however, a new brouhaha has erupted [at Harvard]and it seems impossible that Summers [the president]will emerge from this one without serious erosion of his moral authority. The trigger was a statement he made at a conference, suggesting that the reason there are more men than women in the mathematical sciences at top-flight institutions has to do with a small statistical difference in inate ability, which becomes a pretty large disparity when one looks at the 'high end' of the respective distribution curves... The fatal words did not set forth his main theme, but merely constituted a brief aside, thoroughly hedged and qualified. Nonetheless, they touched off a firestorm of indignation, the most striking aspect of which was the intemperate response of a number of feminist scientists, who offered no counter-arguments, but simply declared the whole idea misogynistic and therefore forbidden intellectual territory.
If they can't even play with trucks correctly...
"In his talk... [Harvard President Larry] Summers also used as an example one of his daughters, who as a child was given two trucks in an effort at gender-neutral parenting. Yet she treated them almost like dolls, naming one of them 'daddy truck,' and one 'baby truck.'
"It was during his comments on ability that Hopkins, sitting only 10 feet from Summers, closed her computer, put on her coat, and walked out. 'It is so upsetting that all these brilliant young women [at Harvard] are being led by a man who views them this way,' she said later in an interview." Summers then responded with the currently in vogue non-apology apology.

Dr. Nixon and his staff are simply amazing! Everyone in the office is caring, compassionate, and courteous. He is an EXCELLENT physician - very professional and knowledgeable, and always has your best interests at heart.
I found Dr. Nixon to be professional and caring, with an exceptional expertise in his field of medicine. He listened to my concerns, and he explained thoroughly the procedure and what to expect after the surgery. I would definitely recommend him to others.
Before meeting Dr Nixon, I heard rave reviews from other doctors and patients. He lived up to the hype. From what I've heard and experienced, he is very good at diagnosis/treatment...but is as good or better listening/explaining and empathizing. He's great...see for yourself.
Dr. Nixon is awesome, caring, compassionate & attentive. I highly recommend!
I appreciate the attention to detail, explaining my problem in a way I could understand. He's very positive, encouraging, and knowledgeable.
Dr. Nixon is amazing, great bedside manner. His staff is always very professional and polite.
Wait times can get long but I am sure some appts. just take longer than expected.
I have been a patient of Dr. Nixon's for two years and am very pleased with his expertise and demeanor. I have a retina condition that has improved greatly while under his care. He is an excellent physician!
I took my elderly mother to Dr. Nixon 4 years ago. She was diagnosed with macular degeneration. Dr. Nixon's care and expertise has helped my mother retain her vision and ward off the progression of the disease. He is very personable and an excellent doctor. Highly recommend his services.
I truly appreciate Dr. Nixon's kind and friendly demeanor and his clear descriptions of everything that is going on with me. Although, the wait time at their office can be a bit long this is because they are committed to seeing patients on the same day. Eye issues are often very urgent and need immediate attention, I guess? His staff is wonderful and friendly and efficient. I truly appreciate that he has a medical scribe taking notes during our meeting since I believe it allows him to focus more on me as a patient. I see several doctors a week right now because of some health complications so I know a good doctor when I encounter one and Dr. Nixon and his team are great!
Dr. Nixon has patiently worked through several issues with my eyes . I cannot think of any reason to wish I had a different doctor. He has always treated me with all of his attention, even when is office is closed. The last time I saw him with a new issue, he calmly reassured me not to worry, and that " he would do all that he could to improve my vision." And that is exactly what he was able to do.
I had the occasion to visit this doctor as a result of an apparent retinal tear. My primary ophthalmologist referred me to Austin Retina and as luck would have it, I got Dr. Nixon to review my case and provide care. I found him to be extremely caring and he put me very well at ease, considering he was going to do surgery on my only eye. I was very pleased with him.
Dr. Nixon is an exceptional doctor, very caring and attentive. He is one of the few that will sit and talk without making the patient feel rushed. I would highly recommend!

Somayagam concludes at Sukapuram; Yagasala set on fire
By Express News Service - EDAPPAL
Published: 26th May 2013 12:04 PM
Last Updated: 26th May 2013 12:04 PM
The Agnishtoma Somayagam, which was being conducted for the past six days in Sukapuram village near here, concluded on Saturday when the Hritiks (Pundits) set fire to the Yagasala. The Yagam took place near the Dhakshinamoorthy Temple in Sukapuram.
The Hritiks set fire to the Yagasala on Saturday evening after the completion of the rituals. Yajamanan of the Yagam took the fire which burnt the Yagasala to his home as part of the rites. He will keep this fire at his home and will perform rituals every day until his death.
"This fire will be used to set fire to the pyre of the Yajamanan and his wife. The Yajamanan will do Agnihomam two times a day and perform a short form of Somayagam twice in a month. He will now be known as Somayajippadu as he has successfully led a Somayagam," Vasudevan Nampoothiripadu, one of the organisers of the Yagam, said.
Different kinds of ancient rituals were performed on the last day of the Yagam also. The rite performed as a penance for any sins or mistakes occurred during the Yagam was the main ritual of the last day. Yajamanan washed all the utensils used for the Yagam and immersed himself in the water for purification before the Hritiks set fire to the Yagasala. The rituals performed during the Yagam are as old as the Vedic age.
It is believed Somayagam has the power to heal mental and physical illnesses. It is said that the rare herb particles coming out of the Yagam fire have the power to heal the human body and the environment.
The Yagam was conducted by a committee formed by the Brahmin community in Sukapuram with the support of various persons. The Yagasala was visited by hundreds of devotees and many were also present on the on the last day to receive the offering of the Yagam, 'Soumya Prasadam'.

Waterfront 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with 380 feet of frontage on Roseland Lake. Private 2.3 acres of pasture, orchard, gardens and pine groves.
This handsome 2512 square foot contemporary home has lake views from every window. Amazing sky, woods and sunset views reminiscent of Maine or Vermont. Secluded yet convenient to schools and shopping. Only three miles from downtown Putnam.
This unique property abuts 11 acres of forested retreat land. Bald eagles and Wood ducks, Ospreys, Herons and Otters fish in the cove in front of the house.
The views from the house across the lake are of woods, wetlands, and Roseland Park. A handful of existing homes on this 96-acre lake are back from the shoreline, giving wild shore views in every direction.
Roseland is a gem of a recreational fishing and small boating lake. Paddle in a canoe or kayak through 2 miles of natural greenway and conservation land.
The original house was built in 1960. In 2005, it was extensively remodeled, updated, and enlarged to 2512 square feet. Situated 60 feet from the water, this house has 16' sliding glass doors and windows opening onto the deck along the length of south side.
At the entry level, glass doors lead from the foyer to a large kitchen, which is open to the living/dining room running the 44' length of the front of the house, all with a spectacular water view. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom on the main level.
The lower level has a large sun-filled great room and office area. The spacious master bedroom has a wall of windows looking out to the water with a door opening onto the terrace.
The tiled master bath has a soaking tub and a separate shower. The lower level great room and bathroom have radiant heated floor along with a woodstove that heats the whole house comfortably. There is a large utility room on this level for washer, dryer, freezer etc.
All bedrooms also have individual baseboard heat. Enjoy an open fire from the thermostatically controlled propane "woodstove" on the main level. Because the house is passive solar, it stays cozy even on days when you can ice skate on the lake.
Floors are maple, ceramic tile, cork tile, commercial and wool carpeting. Kitchen stainless steel appliances are qualityFisher and Paykel, and the kitchen has a copper backsplash and bar counter. The living/ dining/ kitchen area ceiling is decoratively paneled in Philippine mahogany.
The 30'x40' barn started its life as a hanger for an amphibious plane. The barn facade has windows, 3 carriage bays, a storage loft and a raised floor area. The barn has a new metal roof and board/batten exterior. Potential horse property.
A new septic tank was installed in 2005. There is a drilled well.
Annual property taxes are only $4012.
Priced at $445,000.
Owner occupied, shown by appointment only. Call Lisa at 860.377.8747

Perrigo to Buy Elan for $8.6 Billion
Deal for Irish Biotech Firm Provides a Path to Lower Taxes
Drug maker Perrigo Co. PRGO 0.74 % agreed to buy Irish biotech firm Elan Corp. for $8.6 billion, in the latest pharmaceutical-industry deal motivated at least in part by taxes.
Perrigo, which produces private-label cold remedies, allergy treatments and infant formula for retailers including Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT -0.68 % and Walgreen Co., will use a mix of cash and stock to buy Elan for $16.50 a share.
The $16.50 price equates to a 10.5% premium over Elan's closing stock price Friday. On Monday, Elan shares rose 3.7% to €11.55 ($15.33) in Dublin trading.
Elan had put itself up for sale after spurning a prior suitor, so its shares had already risen on the possibility of a takeover.
The biggest appeal of buying Dublin-based Elan is the comparatively low Irish corporate tax rate of 12.5%. Several U.S. companies have used deals to lower their tax burdens, most recently generic drug maker Watson Pharmaceuticals Inc. with its acquisitions of Switzerland's Actavis Inc. and then Dublin-based Warner-Chilcott.
Perrigo, which expects the deal to close by year-end, would establish a holding company under its name in Ireland. Within a year, Perrigo expects the roughly 30% tax rate it currently pays to drop to the high teens, Perrigo CEO Joseph Papa said in an interview that also included Elan CEO Kelly Martin. It expects to realize more than $150 million in yearly savings on lower taxes and operational expenses.
Perrigo also gets Elan's $1.9 billion in cash, royalties on a blockbuster multiple sclerosis drug and a foothold in Ireland to further its recent expansion in Europe.
The acquisition would give Perrigo "the opportunity to help further extend our international platform and diversify our business," Mr. Papa said.
Elan has been under pressure since an experimental Alzheimer's therapy that it was developing with Johnson & Johnson JNJ -0.51 % and Pfizer Inc. PFE -0.24 % failed in testing last year. Elan had been counting on the drug, called bapineuzumab, and the failure left it with little beyond its share of the multiple sclerosis drug Tysabri.
Elan's partner on Tysabri, Biogen Idec Inc., BIIB 0.26 % in April paid Elan $3.25 billion and agreed to give it a royalty on sales for the full rights to Tysabri. Tysabri has $1.6 billion in yearly sales currently. Royalties, now 12% and increasing to 18% next May, could jump to as much as 25% if the drug's sales exceed $2 billion, Mr. Papa said.
During the first six months of this year, Elan reported a profit of $2.4 billion, including the Tysabri payment. Meantime, during the period, the company notched only $56.5 million in revenue from continuing operations.
Perrigo had $3.2 billion in revenue during fiscal year 2012.
Earlier this year, pharmaceutical investor Royalty Pharma had tried buying Elan in a deal valued at as much as $15.50 a share, or $8 billion, but Elan management resisted and sought other potential buyers. Royalty owns interests on the sales of drugs like AbbVie Inc. ABBV -0.44 % 's Humira rheumatoid arthritis therapy.
Elan's Mr. Martin said the company had "plenty" of bidders, which he wouldn't name. Mr. Martin said Elan preferred Perrigo because of the strategic fit. "Perrigo is a company. Royalty is a financial fund," he said.
Sales of Perrigo's private-label brands benefited the last few years from recalls of Tylenol and other popular over-the-counter remedies sold by Johnson & Johnson.
Perrigo, based in Allegan, Mich., has been seeking to expand, in part through a string of deals giving it animal-health and eye-care products.

"The Invisible Strobe" At PhotoPlus Expo
Capturing quality images at high ISO's has not only opened up new avenues for shooting in natural-light, it also has turned handheld strobes into powerful lighting tools. For more than twenty years, Gerd Ludwig has been a master of using small TTL-flashes in unusual and unpredictable ways – to emphasize his message, offer a sense of place, maintain atmosphere, and create a personal vision, while simultaneously avoiding the obvious "strobe" look. He will show a wide range of potential uses, from utilizing strobes at high-speed sync in broad daylight to enhancing extreme long exposures at night by firing the flash(es) multiple times. Throughout the lecture he will share his secrets and show examples both from his personal projects and his many years of photographing on assignment for National Geographic. Finally, Ludwig will share his secrets to surviving in today's marketplace, using crowd-funding, social networking and new media to get personal projects financed and seen by a wider audience.
Sponsored by Canon USA, the 2-hour seminar takes place at the Jacob Javits Convention Center on Thursday, October 20th, from 2-4pm.

Orange PD showed up and off to jail he went.

Soldiering: The Afterlife of a Modern Experience An Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Conference Harvard University, April 23-24
United States
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
Soldiering has long been considered a central organizing experience of modern life. With the invention of conscription in the 1680s, the consequent multiplication of national standing-armies, and the coupling of soldiering with citizenship, the individual and aristocratic warrior was replaced by the democratic and collective figure of "the soldier of the revolution." His body no longer marked by the natural signs of strength, courage and pride, the soldier had become, by the late eighteenth century, something that can be made. Disciplined en masse through standardized military programs that mimicked the constancy of the factory, soldiers were not only manufactured; for two centuries they themselves embodied the labor power envisioned in manufacturing new political orders at home and across the vast imperial landscape. The two world wars, quintessential displays of modern soldiering, were arguably also the last of their kind, and marked both the culmination and the end of soldiering as a near universal experience, social institution, and political subjectivity.
Juxtaposed with and against these historical prefigurations, this two-day conference wishes to examine the gradual disintegration of the Soldier-Subject in the postwar period and the 'afterlife' forms of modern soldiering, from the early days of the Cold War to the current manifestations of the 'Global War on Terror'. What happens to soldiering when armies are privatized and corporations take over the state's "dirty business of war"? When "irregular," "asymmetric," "low-intensity" warfare is the order of the day? When the once politically significant distinction between soldier and civilian is destabilized in the now prevalent theaters of "ethnic conflict"? When technical experts become soldiers and human soldiers are gradually replaced by technological systems, such as unmanned drones and armed robots? How have these contemporary forms of soldiering influenced social, economic and political realities? And how do they contribute to the increased ethical isolation of war and conflict?
We seek rich, rigorous graduate student contributions from across the academic spectrum and across historical periods. Through soldiering, this conference aims to provide a locus for rewriting conventional military and political histories, revisiting anthropological accounts of violence and the state, and expanding the definition of warfare – both temporally and spatially. Themes may include:
•From "Cannon Fodder" to "Enhanced Survivability": The Birth of the Vulnerable Soldier
•'Shell-Shock,' PTSD and Mental Preparedness: Trauma Culture and Its Aftermath
•Army Alpha, Army Beta: Screening, Selection, and the Making of Military Kinds
•From Ethical Lapses to Professional Failings: Soldiering as a Vocation
•Enlightened Occupiers: From 'Hearts and Minds' to the Human Terrain Teams
•Armies for Hire: Privatized Defense and Corporate Warfare
•'Accidental Guerillas,' Child-Soldiers, and Other Paramilitaries
•International Soldiers: Military Humanitarianism, Peace Corps, and Human Rights Training
•Identity Politics Goes to War: From 'Blue Discharge' to 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' and Beyond
•The Paris-Match Saluting "Negro" and Other Mythologies: the Soldier as Signifier
•Reorganizing the Military-Industrial Complex: New Media and Warfare Simulation
Prospective participants are asked to write a 600 word abstract that outlines the paper's topic, methodology, and argument, as well as how the prospective participant's research interests relate to the theme of soldiering more generally. Participants will be notified by early March whether their paper has been accepted into the conference. Please note that participants may be eligible to receive full or partial stipends for transportation to the conference.
Abstract Submission Deadline: February 15, 2011
Abstracts can be uploaded on the conference website: isites.harvard.edu/soldieringconference (under the "Submissions" tab). Please make sure to include the following information: full name, institutional affiliation, the title of your paper, and contact details.

Lenten Email Meditations (plus other resources from the wider church)
By:Kitty Kawecki, Director of Resources & Training
Once again the Episcopal Diocese of Newark will offer daily meditations during the season of Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday, March 5, 2014. Each day you will receive a scripture reading, a reflection on that reading and a short prayer.
Please consider taking time to slow down, wait, pray and reflect on the hope and possibilities that the Resurrection offers us.
Lenten resources from SSJE
Starting Ash Wednesday, March 5 receive short, daily videos from the Brothers of SSJE (Society of St. John the Evangelist in Cambridge, MA) that delve deeply into the gospel that shapes their community life. John's message of love can unlock our hearts and transform our lives.
The Brothers of SSJE also publish the popular Brother, Give Us a Word daily meditation.
Subscribe to the Lenten series with your email. You will receive an introductory email and the videos will start March 5.
Episcopal Relief & Development's Lenten meditations
Episcopal Relief & Development's Lenten Meditations booklets are now available in English and Spanish. This year's collection of forty-six reflections focuses on creating economic opportunities and strengthening communities, with a particular focus on empowering women.
PDF booklets and other Lenten resources are posted on Episcopal Relief & Development's website at www.episcopalrelief.org/lent, and individuals wishing to receive daily email devotionals can sign up online. Find out more.
Forward Movement's Lent Madness
No one said a Lenten discipline has to be dreary! Based loosely on the wildly popular NCAA basketball tournament, Lent Madness pits 32 saints against one another in public voting as they compete for the coveted Golden Halo. But it is more than that: Lent Madness is really an online devotional tool designed to help people learn about saints. The competition begins on Wednesday, March 5 and takes place at www.lentmadness.org.

To the Editor.—
Hand et al1 described inadvertent transbronchial insertion of narrow-bore feeding tubes into the pleural space. Schorlemmer2 was the first to describe this. His three patients all suffered a pneumothorax after the feeding tube was inserted with a wire guide. A depressed gag reflex allowed for easy insertion into the larynx and the wire guide was implicated in perforating the pleura. He suggested immediate radiographic confirmation of tube location before commencement of feedings, and use of the wire guide only for passage of the nasopharynx.Having experienced similar occurrences at our institution (D.M.A., G. Berci, MD, unpublished data, January 1984) we advocate not using the wire guide at all. To pass the tube, we attach the tip of a small-bore feeding tube to the tip of a rigid Levine nasogastric tube with half of a gelatin capsule (as used for encapsulated medicine).3 The rigid nasogastric

If you want to know what's going on, ask the nerds. As fears swelled over radiation from Japan's battered Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in the days after the 11 March quake, computer-savvy individuals around the globe had an immediate reaction: show people the data. Within days, individuals began tracking down and using the data to create interactive maps and graphs of radiation levels in Japan. Here are some that have stood out as especially useful. Their sources include government monitoring stations and Geiger counters duct-taped to the balconies of Tokyo apartments, and vary in completeness and in how frequently they're updated. Neither Science nor the creators guarantee these maps' accuracy; they are meant to supplement, not replace, official formats of releasing data. These maps are works in progress, and new ones are coming online every day. If a map has caught your eye, if you're developing your own, or if you're a scientist and have found visualizations like these to be helpful, send us an email, or leave a comment below. We'll add them to this page, so check back again.
Marian Steinbach, a user-interface designer based in Cologne, Germany, noticed something decidedly user-unfriendly about media reports on Japan's nuclear crisis. "I was looking for a big picture of the situation of radiation in Japan, which I couldn't find," he says. So he started manually grabbing radiation readings from Japan's sensor network, known as SPEEDI, which is released every 10 minutes by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). He put them in a format that developers could work with. Soon volunteers from around the world joined in to keep the data flowing—and translate data posted only in Japanese—until Steinbach could write a computer script to automatically "scrape" the data from the site and dump them into a readable file at intervals. Still missing, however, are continuous readings from Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, which were hard-hit by the earthquake. MEXT is publishing readings from the latter a few times a day as a PDF that Steinbach hasn't been able to scrape—yet. Nevertheless, Steinbach's data have become a source for a growing number of maps and visualizations. "Fortunately, I have a flat fee on bandwidth," he says.
One spinoff is Norwegian software engineer Geir Engdahl's map, which displays SPEEDI sensor locations and their readings in nanoGrays per hour. (Grays are a way of measuring radiation that looks purely at the energy deposited in tissue, known as the absorbed dose.) Click on a bubble—which are color coded by magnitude—to see the most recent reading. You can also track that station's reading over the past 24 hours, week, or month to look for spikes or to compare readings before and after the earthquake:
This map, also based on Steinbach's scraped MEXT data, gives the maximum latest values per prefecture and displays major cities scaled by population:
Meanwhile, in Portland, Oregon, Marcelino Alvarez, a self-described "news junkie and data junkie," says he "kept hearing a refrain" as he watched the news. "When the more intelligent scientists were on TV, they'd say, 'We don't have data, we don't know what's going on here.' " So he and David Ewald set to work with the developers at their start-up Uncorked Studios. Their map at RDTN.org ("Radiation" without the vowels) includes not only MEXT data but also data submitted by individuals with Geiger counters, and they have plans to raise money to get more instruments into Japanese hands. But as such, their data comes in a hodgepodge of units—see the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency for a good discussion of the difference between grays and sieverts.
One source that RDTN.org's map pulls from is Pachube, a clearinghouse that pulls in time-series data from various sources that pushes it out into manageable feeds. "Pachube acts as a real-time databroker for a wide variety of (sensors)," says Usman Haque, the site's CEO and founder, who is based in London. Right now, they're brokering data from individuals who, like Steinbach, are scraping official data, individuals with Geiger counters hooked up to their computers, or people with hand-held detectors and a data-pushing iPhone app. (There's been a run on Geiger counters in Japan, Haque says.) Several maps have been built on Pachube's data feeds. One of the most interesting is Haque's own creation, a Google Earth layer with doses displayed as vertical towers over the sensor locations (requires a Google Earth plug-in). In some cases you can click on the data point to see its source and how the reading has varied over time.

Terrell Suggs with dirty hit on LeGarrette Blount (Video)
Terrell Suggs pulled a dirty stunt during Sunday's game between the Steelers and Ravens.
Terrell Suggs pulled a dirty stunt during Sunday's game between the Steelers and Ravens.
One of the best rivalries in football will be renewed this weekend when the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens. As usual, Terrell Suggs is ready for it.
For a team that won the Super Bowl last season, the Baltimore Ravens sure have taken quite a significant interest in conspiracy theories.
San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Anthony Davis took offense to Terrell Suggs suggesting that he was a "fake tough guy," and hit back at the Baltimore Ravens linebacker via Twitter Wed
When Ray Lewis announced that he would be retiring after the season, it instantly became the biggest story out of the Baltimore Ravens locker room and probably the entire NFL.
Terrell Suggs was more than happy to take a few shots at the New England Patriots after beating them in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday.
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs had to surrender several firearms last month as part of a court order related to a domestic dispute, the Baltimore Sun reported on Thursday.
When Terrell Suggs hurt his Achilles' tendon last month, it was reported that he injured himself playing basketball.

Parkview Baptist slips past Notre Dame
CROWLEY – Sometime things just don't work out as expected.
For three quarters, Notre Dame held the Parkview Baptist offense in check, allowing just 84 yards of offense and leading 10-0 as the teams changed sides for the fourth quarter. Then it started to look like last season all over again.
The Eagles put together drives of 66 and 80 yards to win 14-10. It was a frustrating ending for coach Lewis Cook in a game that at one time looked to be well in hand.
"They are a good team and they weren't going to go away. They turned it on and made the plays when they had to make them. It's just really disappointing for all of us. We had a chance to win this one and just didn't get it done."
Parkview got a 38 yard run by halfback Houston Robert to spark an opening drive form the Eagles 20 to the Pios 35 yard line. Robert carried again around the edge and Rankin Bihm forced a fumble the Pios recovered at their 12 yard line to avoid an early deficit.
Notre Dame got a 10 yard run from John Michael Besse for some breathing room at the Pios 26. Brad Stoma rolled right and connected with Kevin Frank in the seam for a 19 yard completion near mid field.
On third and one, Parkview brought everyone up to defend the run and when Besse popped through a hole on the left side there was no one left to make a tackle. Besse, who gained 110 yard rushing for the Pios, took it 34 yards to cap a 9 play, 88 yard drive and with the extra point by Dustin Reiners, Notre Dame had a 7-0 lead at 4:52 of the opening quarter.
After watching the first two possessions, who would have thought neither team would have much offensive success over the next two quarters.
"After that first drive, we kind of settled in," added Coach Cook. "We made the play on defense to strip the ball out and cause the fumble and they really didn't do much until the last quarter."
That was because of a physical defensive effort led by the 17 tackles of Hunter Stelly. The senior linebacker repeatedly stopped the Eagles mid line option with crushing stops on the fullback dive and even broke an opponent's face mask with one stop.
On the next Parkview possession, Stelly was in on three straight tackles to force a punt. The Eagles gambled with a fake, but the snap was over the head of the near back and Notre Dame took over at the Parkview 38 yard line.
Brad Stoma completed a 10 yard pass to Kevin Frank on first down and Parkview stiffened on three plays. A 45 yard field goal attempt by Dustin Reiners was wide left and that series became a bad omen for the rest of the game.
"We had an opportunity to do something in the middle of the field and didn't get any points from it," said a noticeably dejected Lewis Cook. "You have to take advantage of those situations. We were moving the ball and doing some pretty good things early in the game. You aren't going to get many chances against a team like Parkview and that was one we squandered away."
Notre Dame led 7-0 at the half and had the ball to start the third quarter. Usually an advantage for Cook and his offense, the troubles continued with a three and out. The teams traded punts on the next four possessions until Notre Dame pieced together a 49 yard drive.
A third down pass from Stoma to Besse gained 14 yards to the Pios 36 and Besse got another first down with runs of 5 and 7 yards. Lance Bertrand went off right tackle for 23 yards to the Parkview 30, but again the Eagles found a way to stop the drive.
Dustin Reiners came on to kick a field goal through and true from 47 yards. With just over a minute left in the third quarter, Notre Dame led 10-0, but this is one time Cook probably wished he had been wrong about his scouting report.
"In this kind of game, it is going to come down to a play here and a play there. We had a few other chances here and there, but you aren't going to shut those guys out. I felt we needed to get to 21 points, maybe 17, to have a chance to win the game."
After roughing the passer, personal foul and offside penalties gave Parkview a first down at the Pios 18, Houston Roberts, who led the Eagles with 99 yards rushing, gained ten on a counter. Three plays later, Erik Martinez stretched to score from four yards out and make it 10-7 with just over ten minutes to play.
Notre Dame gave it back after six straight running plays. A 49 yard punt into the end zone by Reiners set up the 7 play, 80 yard winning Parkview drive.
Quarterback Reggie Hayes went deep to wide out Tom Wing on the first play for a 45 yard streak down the numbers in front of the Notre Dame bench. Erik Martinez took a pitch 19 yards around right end to the Pios 16.
Defensive stops by Zack Henry and Logan Lagrange left Parkview with third and ten. After an Eagles timeout, Tee Sparrow took a reverse fifteen yards to the one. With 3:34 to play, Parkview led 14-10.
"I think the fact that we kept hanging in there and hanging in there gave our players confidence," explained Parkview coach Kenny Guillot. "Our offense is a patient type offense, so we are used to being in that situation. When they kicked the field goal we just looked at it as two scores will still win it. We started probing a little inside and a little outside on the first score and then we go over the top for the big pass play with a great throw and a great catch and that kind of got our guys juiced up."
The Pios had one last hope on offense that Parkview quickly turned aside. QB Brad Stoma connected on 6 of 13 passes in the game and his first down throw fell to the turf when intended receiver Besse slipped on a cut. The Eagles recorded a pair of sacks on Stoma around a two yard scramble to end the Pios season.
"They have good enough players that they are going to eventually find some plays," summed up Cook. "They found that little counter play and it started opening up for them. They made a good call on the reverse because we were clogging it up and they weren't getting anything inside. That gave them a little bit on the edge."
It was a game that seemingly slipped away in the fourth quarter. After a season of dominance on defense, Notre Dame just didn't have anything left in the tank at the end.
"We haven't played in the last quarter forever and I can't help but wonder about that now," concluded Cook. "Game shape is game shape, but I wouldn't do anything different. What were we supposed to do, score a hundred points in some of those games? Parkview gets 14 points on us in the last quarter, so you have to kind of wonder if not playing full games had anything to do with it."
Or maybe that it's just one of those sports things like, for now, Parkview simply has Notre Dame's number. That shouldn't take away from an 11-1 season and if nothing else, for whatever consolation it is for team members, the Eagles do know what a game is!

Our stay at the Sweet Cane Inn was our first stay at a bed and breakfast. We arrived in Natchitoches looking for a relaxing 2 night stay starting Super Bowl Sunday. To our surprise, we were the only guests staying at the Inn. We were blown away by the hospitality, service and comfort at the Sweet Cane Inn. The Inn is located in close proximity to historic downtown Natchitoches and is an easy walk to the sites, stores, restaurants, museums and pubs. Being Super Bowl Sunday, John even setup a projection TV to enjoy the game on a big screen along with popcorn, cookies and wine. Breakfast was great and the rooms comfortable. When we come back to Natchitoches, we will definitely stay at the Sweet Cane Inn!

Our weekend stay was absolutely perfect! We wouldn't have changed one thing. It was the most relaxing weekend we have ever spent ! John and Kathy were the most gracious hosts! On a side note, Maglieaux's on the Cane restaurant is within walking distance of Sweet Cane Inn and has great service, delicious cuisine, and reasonable prices. We have found OUR weekend getaway and we WILL be back soon! Emmett and Teri

Wonderful experience, we truly enjoyed our stay at the Sweet Cane Inn! The rooms were very comfortable and quiet, yet they were decorated with beautiful furnishings and featured modern conveniences. To top it off, everyday we stayed, the breakfasts were delicious. We also enjoyed a complimentary glass of wine on the porch in the evening.

We arrived late in the evening but Kathy had left a key for us and encouraged us to call if we needed anything. The Inn is lovely -- the rooms were clean and cosy and the beds were extremely comfortable. The full breakfast (French Toast, scrambled eggs and sausage) was delicious! The hospitality prior to (reservations) and during our stay was exceptional and I loved the stories of the original owners as well as the process of restoration of the inn. The inn is well-located -- a short walk to the historic section of town. I hope we will have an opportunity to return!

We have only stayed in two other B & B's, but The Sweet Cane Inn surpassed our every expectation in all aspects. The hosts were gracious and personable, the room was immaculate and the breakfast was divine! We awakened each morning to the smell of coffee, pancakes and sausage.Then at 4 pm upon returning from enjoying the beauty of Natchitoches, we were greeted with wine, coffee and the best chocolate chips cookies we have ever tasted! Our bedding was perfect, the decor of the room was pleasing and the bathroom had every convenience at our fingertips. We loved hearing the history of the home and the hosts entertained us with their own story of acquiring this treasure. But I think the best testimony came from a guest who has stayed at The Sweet Cane Inn 17 times in a little over three years!! She has become a part of the family and my husband and I know when we return for the Festival of Lights we will be greeted by John and Kathy as family too. We had a wonderful stay there and we made many happy memories. Looking forward to returning in December!

We needed to get away and this was a great "way" to get away to! :) The generosity and friendliness of our hosts was uplifting and nurturing. You will not be disappointed!

Before the Palomino Blackwing and before there were other FSC-certified pencils, there was ForestChoice, the world's first Forest Stewardship Council-certified pencil.
In 1999, Palomino introduced the ForestChoice pencil as a high-qualiy, FSC-certified alternative to the standard number-2 pencils on the market. FSC certification means that all of the wood used during the creation of ForestChoice pencils is sourced from well-managed forests operating under the most stringent practices for environmental responsibility, social benefit and long-term economic viability, a far cry from many of the number-2 pencils being manufactured around the world today.
Every ForestChoice pencil is made out of FSC-certified genuine California Incense-cedar, allowing for exceptional sharpening performance and a beautiful natural finish. ForestChoice pencils also feature graphite cores that create smooth, solid lines and resist breakage. Since their inception, ForestChoice pencils have continued to be one of the most ecologically sound implements of expression on the market.
ForestChoice products are good for the artist, good for the writer, and good for the environment.
"Not too light, easy to sharpen, strong (lead does not break easily), erases clean without much effort, and provides a crisp , clean line. I highly recommend these pencils to anyone looking for a quality pencil at a great price."
"The look, feel, and especially smell of cedar is unmistakable, now imagine all that in a pencil. I think it would make a lengthy writing assignment, just a tad more pleasurable"
"Writing with a Forest Choice pencil is just as pleasurable as holding or beholding them."
