Postoperative (pressure) alopecia after general anesthesia is a rare but disturbing complication. Although this condition has been widely reported in the surgery and dermatology literature (1–4), it has received scant attention in anesthesiology journals. An English language Medline® search produced only two reports in the anesthesia literature during the last 35 yr (5–6). These reports describe patients subjected to procedures longer than 6 h (5) or to cardiopulmonary bypass (6). We present a case of postoperative (pressure) alopecia after general anesthesia for cosmetic plastic surgery in which none of the previously documented risk factors were identified.
A 50-yr-old, 64-kg, ASA physical status class I woman presented for elective bilateral breast reduction. Her preoperative arterial blood pressure was 118/90 mm Hg, and her heart rate was 96 bpm. The remainder of the physical examination was unremarkable. She was premedicated with 5 mg of midazolam IV. General orotracheal anesthesia was induced with 90 mg of propofol, 200 μg of fentanyl, and 50 mg of rocuronium IV. All pressure points were checked and padded, and the head was placed over folded sheets in a neutral position. Anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane and nitrous oxide. The patient remained supine throughout surgery, and the head was not repositioned during the case. The surgical and anesthesia times were 4.0 and 4.5 h, respectively. The intraoperative period was unremarkable. Specifically, there were no episodes of hypotension <90 mm Hg. The estimated blood loss was 100 mL. The patient received 1250 mL of lactated ringer's fluid IV.
Twelve hours after surgery, the patient complained of soreness and tenderness over the occipital area. She was discharged from the hospital 23 h after admission. During the following days, she noticed progressive hair loss over the previously tender area. Two weeks after surgery, an area of alopecia of 3.5 X 2.5 cm in the occiput was observed (Figure 1). Hair growth was noted within weeks. A follow-up visit 6 mo after surgery revealed normal hair distribution within the affected area.
Abel and Lewis (7) first described postoperative (pressure) alopecia in 1960. They reported eight cases of pressure-related alopecia in women after prolonged gynecologic procedures. Abel (8) also demonstrated experimentally induced lesions in cats that were clinically and histologically similar to his initial series in women. Subsequent reports have demonstrated that this complication can develop in patients of both sexes and of all ages (1–4).
The putative cause of postoperative (pressure) alopecia is localized pressure-induced ischemia to the scalp caused by head immobilization during prolonged periods of unconsciousness. The continuous pressure of the immobilized human head causes ischemic changes to the blood vessels. Furthermore, severe hypotension, massive blood loss, and the use of vasoconstrictors aggravate ischemia on the scalp. Other risk factors include prolonged endotracheal intubation, prolonged head immobilization, and the intraoperative use of the Trendelenburg position (1,3,5,6). None of these known risk factors were present in our patient.
Patients with this condition typically complain of occipito-parietal pain and tenderness within 24 hours of surgery. Signs observed during the first week also include swelling, edema, crusting, and ulceration. Histological findings are dependent on the stage at which the biopsy specimen is obtained and have been described elsewhere (9). Hair loss is usually complete within 3–28 days after surgery. As in our patient, most cases are self-limiting with regrowth occurring within 12 weeks (5). Lawson et al. (1), however, reported cases of permanent alopecia. In their series, 65 cardiac surgical patients developed postoperative (pressure) alopecia; of those, 29 developed permanent alopecia. All the patients with permanent alopecia remained endotracheally intubated for periods of 24 hours or more, whereas none of the patients intubated for 17 hours or less developed permanent alopecia.
Postoperative (pressure) alopecia is believed to be preventable. A prospective study that incorporated head repositioning every 30 minutes in cardiac surgical patients, both during general anesthesia and recovery, significantly reduced the incidence of alopecia from a prospectively determined value of 14% to 1% (1). The role that IV or inhaled anesthetics may play, if any, in the genesis of this condition has not been studied. There are no case reports of patients' receiving spinal or epidural anesthesia as their primary anesthetic. This final observation lends further credence to the notion that frequent head repositioning is protective.
In summary, we have presented a case of postoperative (pressure) alopecia in a patient after elective cosmetic surgery. Based on the proposed etiology of this condition and the available prospective evidence, practitioners are encouraged to periodically reposition the head during surgery in all but the briefest general anesthetics.

Okay....so I'm day weaning my DS because I'm going back to work at the end of August and he's never taken a bottle. I've changed his schedule so we nurse when he wakes up and again around the time I will be getting back from work (about 3). Not too bad since we only had to give up one feeding. In addition to cutting back one feeding, he seems to have gotten really fast at nursing, something I know is normal for older babies (he's thirteen months old). He has also started eating a lot more solids than he had in the past.
This is where my stupid question comes in: Can breastmilk ever just dry up without you knowing? I don't pump anymore (I only did for DS's cereal which I now give him with cow's milk), and with taking out that feeding, he's not peeing as much as he used to, although I do think he's still wetting and pooping within the norm. Sometimes I feel like he's only really comfort nursing. I'm just wondering for my own piece of mind since things in our world have changed so much all of a sudden.
Thanks! I'm a first-time mom and I don't know anybody who has nursed this long or in this fashion, so I don't really have anybody else to ask.

Rachel Jackson
|Rachel Jackson
June 15, 1767
Halifax County, Colony of Virginia, British America
|December 22, 1828(aged 61)
|Lewis Robards (1787-1790; divorced)
Andrew Jackson (1791-1828, her death)
(1791–1794 later deemed invalid)
Rachel Donelson Robards Jackson, born Rachel Donelson, (June 15, 1767 – December 22, 1828) was the wife of Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States.[1][2] She lived with him at their home at The Hermitage, where she died just days after his election and before his inauguration in 1829—therefore she never served as First Lady, a role assumed by her niece, Emily Donelson.[3]
Early life and education[edit]
Rachel Donelson was born near the Banister River, about ten miles from Chatham, Virginia in Pittsylvania County on June 15, 1767.[1][2] Her father was Colonel John Donelson (1718–1785), co-founder of Nashville, Tennessee, and her mother was Rachel Stockley Donelson (1730-1801).[1] Her great-grandfather, Patrick Donelson, was born in Scotland about 1670.[1] She had seven brothers and three sisters:[1]
- Alexander Donelson (1749-1785)
- Mary Donelson Caffery (1751-?). Wife of Captain John Caffery. Parents of Jane Caffrey wife of painter Ralph Eleaser Whiteside Earl and of Donelson Caffrey {1786-1835}, father of Congressman Donelson Caffery {1835-1906}.
- Catherine Donelson Hutchings (1752-1835)
- Stockley Donelson (1753-1804)
- Jane Donelson Hays (1754-1834)[4]
- John Donelson (1755-1830), father of Emily Donelson 1st wife of Andrew Jackson Donelson
- William Donelson (1756-1820)
- Samuel Donelson (1758-1804), father of Andrew Jackson Donelson and Daniel Smith Donelson
- Severn Donelson (1763 or 1773 -1818)
- Leven Donelson (1765-?)
From about 1770 to 1779, her father operated the Washington Iron Furnace at Rocky Mount, Franklin County, Virginia.[5] With her family, she moved to Tennessee at the age of 12.[2] Her father led about 600 people from Fort Patrick Henry to Fort Nashborough, down the Cumberland River.[1] The Donelson family was among the first white settlers in Tennessee.[2]
Her first marriage to Captain Lewis Robards of Harrodsburg, Kentucky, a landowner and speculator, was not a happy affair, and the two separated in 1790.[1][2]
When Andrew Jackson migrated to Nashville, Tennessee in 1788, he boarded with Rachel Stockley Donelson, the mother of Rachel Donelson Robards. Shortly after, they married in Natchez, Mississippi, believing that her husband had obtained a divorce.[1][2] As the divorce had never been completed, their marriage was technically bigamous and therefore invalid.[2] Historians found that a friend of Lewis Robards had planted a fake article in his own newspaper, saying that the couple's divorce had been finalized.[citation needed] The Jacksons later found out about Robards' action in planting the article, and that he had never completed the divorce. Later, Rachel ensured that the divorce was completed.[citation needed] Jackson and she remarried in 1794. During the presidential election campaign of 1828, supporters of John Quincy Adams, Jackson's opponent, accused his wife of being a bigamist, among other things. Despite the accusations, he won by a comparative landslide; he was a popular military hero after his victory in the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812.
Personal life[edit]
Rachel attracted much attention from suitors because she was very beautiful as a young woman, described by a contemporary as having "lustrous black eyes, dark glossy hair, full red lips, brunette complexion, though of brilliant coloring, [and] a sweet oval face rippling with smiles and dimples."[3] Later in life, her country manners and full figure were severely in contrast with Jackson's tall, spindly form and developed genteel manners. However, her love for her husband was unmistakable: she languished when he was away for politics, fretted when he was away at war, and doted on him when he was at home.[3] Unlike Jackson, Rachel never liked being in the spotlight of events. She would consistently warn her husband to not let his political accomplishments rule him; for example, after Jackson's victory at the Battle of New Orleans, she warned Jackson that his subsequent popularity (on the scope of George Washington) would tempt him to value his glory over his own family.[6] Andrew and Rachel Jackson had three adopted children: Andrew Jackson Jr., Lyncoya Jackson, and Andrew Jackson Hutchings.
She was a Presbyterian.[1] She was also an avid reader of the Bible and religious works as well as poetry.[1] She died suddenly in 1828, probably of a heart attack, given her symptoms according to Jackson: "excruciating pain in the left shoulder, arm, and breast."[3] That her death came immediately before Jackson left for Washington was more than an inconvenience; it was crippling. He held her body tightly until he was pulled away, and he lingered at the Hermitage until the latest possible date.[3] She was buried on the grounds at The Hermitage.[2]
Popular culture depictions[edit]
Rachel Jackson was the title character of a 1950 historical novel by Irving Stone, The President's Lady, which told the story of her life and also Andrew Jackson's life from their first meeting until her death(s). In 1953, the novel was made into a film of the same name starring Susan Hayward and Charlton Heston as the Jacksons. In the 1936 film The Gorgeous Hussy (a fictionalized biography of Peggy Eaton), Rachel Jackson was portrayed by Beulah Bondi, who was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance.
Rachel Jackson is also a major character in the Broadway rock musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson. She performs the solo song "The Great Compromise", in which she laments how Andrew Jackson's public life and political desires have overwhelmed their relationship and opened her up to public ridicule. Her death begins Andrew Jackson's lament "Public Life".

Whoa. What happened to Casey? He looks so...pretty.
That's because this week Morgan Webb is guest hosting while Casey is enjoying real fall weather on the east coast. Bring us back some leaves and hot apple cider. In the mean time, Morgan will tell you all about Champions Online's free weekend, show off the newest screenshots of Bizarro in DC Universe Online, and lament about the lack of beta invitations surrounding the newest Star Wars: The Old Republic timeline trailer. But I have a feeling your attention will be directed elsewhere this week.
Stop staring. It's rude.

Weekly MATTchups: Week Five
We enter the first week of byes with six teams off, which certainly makes lineup decisions tougher. It is time to take a look at the 13 games in Week Five.
Philadelphia Eagles at Buffalo Bills
I'm sure not many people expected this game to mean much before the season started, and even less expected the Bills to be at 3-1 and the Eagles to be sitting at 1-3. There's nothing to worry about when it comes to the Eagle offense, as the Bills don't pose much of a threat with their defense, even with CB Terrence McGee returning. The big issue for the Eagles is how their defense will handle this Buffalo offense. For whatever reason, Philly tried to use Nnamdi Asomugha in a variety of different ways, and it's failed miserably. They need to let him get back to just being one of the best cover corners in the league. If they do, Stevie Johnson could be in trouble. Luckily for the Bills they have other weapons, like Fred Jackson, who should have a very good game against an Eagle defense that continues to look awful in their attempts to stop the run.

Skin Care Attracting Top Doctors
Aspiring doctors put in countless hours and rack up thousands of dollars in student debt, but not all are aiming for prestigious fields like cancer research and cardiology. In the past few years, the most sought-after fields in medicine have been much more superficial: plastic surgery and dermatology.
Figures from the Association of American Medical Colleges show that last year, about half of medical students who put dermatology as their first choice for residency were rejected. In contrast, the acceptance rate for internal medicine was 98%, while that for family medicine was 99%.
And it's not a matter of competence: many of those who failed to get dermatology residencies were top students in their respective classes. The reason is that dermatology continues to be a niche field, with less than 500 residencies up for grabs. Internal medicine offers over 5,000 residencies, while family medicine has about 2,500.
The demand is understandable considering the high price of aesthetic procedure. A Botox treatment can pay 20 times as much as a heart disease check on a per-hour basis, with the added perk of flexible hours and not being on call all the time. These work conditions are attracting the country's best medical students, leaving primary-care fields to graduates of foreign medical schools. These doctors, although just as capable, seldom stay longer than a few years, choosing instead to practice in their home countries. This explains the growing shortage of practitioners in many other medical fields, which in turn contributes to the less-than-ideal state of American healthcare.
Current and would-be dermatologists see their specialty as more than skin-deep. According to them, because skin problems are more noticeable than, say, high blood pressure, they can cause psychological problems that can affect a patient's overall well-being. And not all dermatology patients have superficial needs: plastic surgery is sometimes needed to restore facial features following an accident or when a tumor spreads to visible areas.
Another thing that lends credence to skin care is the rate at which technological developments and treatments are entering the market. Doctors have access to a wide range of tools to help diagnose and treat even the most difficult skin problems, and often, they don't have to consult with other practitioners to reach a diagnosis.
Not all aspiring dermatologists are after the job conditions, although it's definitely a welcome perk. Some are more interested in research, going after new treatments and crafting new procedures for diseases like skin cancer. In any case, if you're ever in need of a capable doctor in the next few years, you'll know where to look.Read More

Where to Go for Grad School Without Going Broke
The typical college graduate exits school with bleak job prospects, no thanks to a tanking economy. No wonder so many people are looking into graduate school; if there are no good jobs to be had, might as well use the time to make themselves more hireable. The catch, of course, is that university doesn't come cheap–and most graduates are already burdened with student debt to begin with.
One attractive solution is to look abroad. There's little doubt that American and British universities are among the world's best, but they are notoriously expensive. Other countries have equally strong yet much more accessible educational systems–the kind that lets you pay your tuition in full, with more than enough left for food, rent, and even a little travel. Here are some places you may want to look.
Spain (and the Hispanosphere)
A full-time graduate program at a Spanish university can cost around $2,000 a year, roughly a fifth of what you would pay in the U.S. The University of Barcelona and the University of Madrid are among the best in the country. In South America, the University of Sao Paolo in Brazil is a consistent top-notcher; in Mexico, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) is a source of international acclaim. These schools are especially strong in history and the social sciences, and are fairly open to interdisciplinary interests.
The French take pride in their intellectual culture, and they have the educational tools to prove it. Foreign grad students pay as little as EUR200 ($265) for a year of internationally renowned education. The École Normale Supérieure de Paris is ranked 28th in the world and offers master's programs in 50 areas, including arts and literature, social sciences, science, health, and law.
There's a reason Singapore has become the favourite destination of Asian grad students. The best universities charge under $5,000 per year of graduate study for foreign students; this includes Singapore National University, which ranks just behind the École Normale Supérieure de Paris in world rankings. Selections outside Asian studies and history may be limited, but travel opportunities are cheap and abundant.
South Africa
Education was one of the first things to bloom in South Africa after the apartheid, with locals more than ready to enjoy their newfound intellectual freedom. Johannesburg, the capital, and the tourist city of Cape Town have the strongest offerings in the country, with international student tuition averaging $4,000 a year. The cost of living is also quite low, which is why a lot of graduate students seem to spend as much time on the beach as they do in the library.

Facebook App Helps Trace Virus Spread
Scientists at a Tel Aviv University (TAU) in Iran have turned to Facebook to help them track the spread of viruses and infections. Researchers Nir Ben-Tal and Gal Almogy at the university's Faculty of Life Sciences developed an app dubbed PiggyDemic, in which users can pass a simulated virus onto their friends or vice versa. Their plan is to see how social interaction affects where a virus spreads and how many people it infects.
The method challenges the current system of tracking virus spread through mathematical algorithms. The latter's flaw is that it assumes that every virus is equally spread from one population to another, which is hardly ever the case–social interaction always comes into play and throws the pattern off track. For example, according to Almogy, Africa has a high concentration of HIV while Asia and North America have the largest share of some flu strains. This is proof that viral infections are in part a social phenomenon.
By adding (digital) human interaction into the mix, the researchers expect to get a more realistic look at viral interaction. Facebook, the world's largest social network with 800 million active users, is an ideal place for such a study. Once a user installs PiggyDemic, the app follows his or her news feed to see which people they interact with. Uninfected users are given risk rankings such as "immune" or "susceptible" based on their interactions with infected contacts. A network visualization tool allows them to see how the viruses are passed on from one person to another.
Besides tracking, PiggyDemic also doubles as a health guide for users who install it, offering tips to help users make healthy choices. It can also be used as a game, with people trying to "infect" as many of their friends as they can. Perhaps most importantly, the app has also been designed to track real-life virus outbreaks in real time by allowing people to report when they are actually infected. Such a tracking method can alert people in the network of the added risk.
The initial findings already seem to challenge current beliefs about virus spread. For instance, although the app is not configured to incorporate seasonal changes, the flu "virus" has spread more in the winter, the usual peak period. This suggests that in addition to environmental factors, social patterns can account for the rise and fall of different viruses through the seasons.Read More

Should You Homeschool Your Child?
It's a daunting task for parents to take their children's education into their own hands. But more and more people are doing it: about 2 million students in North America are homeschooled, and that's only counting those whose parents have registered their kids with school boards. The real number could be a lot bigger. But what makes parents decide to homeschool their children?
The reasons vary from the practical, such as the lengthy trip to school and the constant threat of teacher strikes, to situation-specific, as is the case with children who show promise in art, sports, or other areas outside the curriculum. Some parents simply enjoy the experience and want to monitor their child's progress with things other than grades. There's no universal rule as to whether or not a child should be homeschooled–it's a decision that should take into account several factors, including the child's learning style, the parents' commitment, and the many implications it can have for the child's future.
The first thing you should ask yourself is whether you have the time and energy for homeschooling. It takes more than a couple of hours of spelling and math on the kitchen table; you need to follow a curriculum, prepare lessons, give and grade assignments. You should also be careful not to take the 'home' in homeschooling too seriously: a child needs to get out of the home and learn from things other than schoolbooks. Trips to the park, museums, and local libraries are essential to rounding out a homeschool program.
Next, make sure you can afford it–you may not have to pay tuition or buy as many school supplies, but it's a given that at least one parent will have to commit to the task full-time. If you've lived with two incomes for a while, this may take some getting used to. Compare the annual costs of sending a child to school to the income you'll be giving up if you decide to go this route.
The most important factor, of course, is whether your child is ready for it. Some children simply thrive better with parents as teachers, but others will feel they are missing out on things like making friends, learning from a variety of mentors, and getting to know other people. It's often a good practice to take it one year or one semester at a time, and leave a door open so that your child can go back to traditional schooling any time they want.Read More

Nurturing A Child's Strength: The Psychology Behind Grades
Much as we'd like to believe otherwise, some kids are born luckier than others. Studies have consistently shown that children enter school with different strengths and weaknesses, and some strengths, such as math and spelling skills, just happen to be more desirable and measurable than, say, social skills.
Grades aren't everything
So how do you manage kids with different strengths in the classroom, or even at home? Experts agree that it starts with looking beyond grades. It's long been known that grades aren't a good indicator of ability or effort. A child who gets a C after hours of studying deserves just as much credit as one who coasts through school with straight A's. Parents and teachers should reward not the grade, but the achievement.
Set different goals
The easiest way to do this is to set individual goals. If getting A's is easy for one child, give him or her a goal that helps them work on a weakness; for example, teachers can monitor relationships with peers and reward them for making more friends during the school year. Likewise, if a child is actively involved in school plays but works only hard enough to get a C, a more appropriate goal would be to move that up to a B, because getting the lead role would not be much of a challenge. In other words, schools and homes need to accept that a one-size-fits-all approach to education doesn't work.
Offer realistic rewards
Another common false assumption is that all children respond to the same rewards. It's easy to take for granted that all kids like candy, but there's always that one child who doesn't–and this child can miss out on the learning and development opportunities offered by a classroom reward system. It's important to take time to find out what your child likes, and figure out how to use it for encouragement. For example, if your kid doesn't like the movies but loves going to museums, reward him or her with a trip to his favourite one when he reaches a target grade or achievement.
The grade system isn't ideal, but it's the best way we currently know to put an educational system in place. The challenge for teachers and parents is to help children realize that while grades are important for a stable future, having fun and learning without pressure are vital to making the most of their childhood.Read More

5 Power Scents You Can Try At Home
There's a pill for pretty much everything, but you don't always need them. Recent research shows that the solution to a lot of aches and pains is literally right in the air. Common household scents, some of which we encounter every day, appear to relieve a variety of conditions, from headaches to stress to mental problems. Some even seem to aid in weight loss. Scientists aren't quite sure why, but the effects are there–and there's definitely no harm in trying. Here are some that you might want to check out.
Florals for focus: Flowers have been found to stir positive feelings in people, most likely because we've come to associate it with something pure and natural. They also seem to influence the parts of the brain that control memory, motivation, and problem-solving. The study saw a 17% increase in learning speed in people who reacted positively to the smell of flowers.
Jasmine for confidence: Nervous about an upcoming presentation? Spray on a jasmine scent the morning of the big day. The flower's smell is linked to an increase in awareness and self-confidence, as well as an overall feeling of wellness. Researchers think it alters the brain's beta waves, which have to do with wakefulness and consciousness.
Green apples for weight loss: Apple scents were first noted as a natural remedy for migraines. New studies show that it can also aid in weight loss by reducing one's appetite. It's unusual for the smell of food to curb your cravings, but this scent seems to work by making your brain think you've eaten the thing you're smelling, and therefore making you feel full.
Chocolate for depression: Everyone's favourite comfort food is turning out to be the ultimate comfort scent as well. The caffeine in chocolate reduces anxiety, and cannabinoids, a special class of compounds, induces a mild feeling of euphoria. People tend to react to both effects because taste is strongly related to smell, and often, just the smell of chocolate can achieve much of the same effect.
Citrus for tiredness: Often used to relieve dizziness and motion sickness, citrus fruits have been found to improve lethargy and a general lack of energy. It works on the same principle as smelling salts, making you more alert and heightening your senses. It may also help that many people associate orange juice with breakfast, and this triggers a response in the brain that stirs you awake.Read More

5 Myths About Sleep
You'd think sleeping would be the easiest thing in the world, but the number of Americans diagnosed with sleep problems in the last few years suggests otherwise. Part of the reason is that so many myths have been passed around and become common knowledge. Here are some things you may have heard about sleep–and need to unlearn.
Myth #1: Older people need less sleep
Babies sleep a lot longer than the recommended 6-8 hours, but that progression doesn't continue into late adulthood. Once you hit your teens, you're going to need the same amount of sleep until you're 60. You may have problems sleeping as you grow older, and that's why many grandparents are up at dawn. Chances are they take lengthy naps around midday to make up for it.
Myth #2: Alcohol is a sleeping aid
That last glass of wine may make you feel drowsy, but you don't get the same kind of sleep. Alcohol-induced sleep tends to be shallow and restless, which explains why you often wake up the morning after feeling more tired than last night. You're also more likely to snore and have dreams that wake you up in the middle of the night.
Myth #3: Snoring is okay
Most of the time, snoring is just an annoying habit, but sometimes it points to a deeper problem. A common cause is obstructive sleep apnea, a condition that blocks your airways as you sleep. Some people simply snore, while others stop breathing for long periods. In any case, sleep apnea can make you extremely tired in the morning and heightens your risk of heart disease–and therefore needs medical attention.
Myth #4: You can train yourself to sleep less
Some people think they can get used to sleeping just four to five hours a day. And they do get by, but not without a price. Studies show that doing this results in even more sleepiness during the day, getting worse as the weeks go by. So the occasional all-nighter may be fine, but making a habit of it is never a good idea.
Myth #5: Napping is bad for you
It's mostly a matter of how the nap affects your nighttime sleep–and it varies from person to person. If you already have sleep problems, napping can make you less sleepy at night and perpetuate the cycle. For most people, a 20-minute nap when you're really drained can be helpful; any longer than that and you risk waking up with a headache.Read More

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. has filed a document with Federal Communication Commission informing the regulatory organization about a possible new PlayStation 3 model that features hard disk drive with higher capacity. Despite of the application, Sony claims it does not mean that the launch of the slightly improved game console is imminent.
On March 2, Sony filed an FCC "Class II Permissive Change" application concerning a change of the Bluetooth module used in the PlayStation 3 game console and also mentioned in the document the addition of the PS3 with 80GB hard disk drive (HDD). The upgrade from 60GB hard drive to 80GB hard drive is hardly a reason for a launch of a new version of the console, it is much more likely that Sony will quietly start to ship 80GB PS3 versions instead of consoles with 60GB HDDs. Nevertheless, representatives for the electronics giant were quick to deny the possibility of a new gaming machine.
"As mentioned when we made the product announcement for PS3, the system will have different configurations (thus, 60GB HDD with memory card slots and Wi-Fi and 20GB HDD without memory card slots or Wi-Fi both exist). Application to the FCC has been made with various possibilities in mind, however, it does not lead to a new product announcement at this time," a spokesman for Sony said, reports Next-Gen web-site.
It is unclear why Sony needs such a modest upgrade to its top-end PlayStation 3 game console, but a logical explanation would be that Seagate, who supplies hard drives for Sony PlayStation 3, plans cease to produce platters needed for 60GB hard drives and can offer 80GB units for the same price.
Sony PlayStation 3 console is based on the Cell processor developed by IBM, Sony and Toshiba, the RSX graphics chip by Nvidia Corp. and will be equipped with Blu-ray optical disk drive. There are two versions of the PlayStation console available in the USA and Japan: one is equipped with 20GB hard disk drive and priced at $499, another features 60GB hard drive, card reader and some other improvements and is offered for $599.

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic resection could be a curative treatment for early colorectal cancer without the possibility of lymph node metastasis. However, if the resection margin is positive, and there is a risk of lymph node metastasis, additional surgery should be performed.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of patients who underwent additional surgery to determine risk factors associated with residual tumor and lymph node metastasis.
DESIGN: This study is a retrospective analysis.
SETTINGS: This study was conducted at a tertiary academic hospital.
PATIENTS: We evaluated 85 patients who underwent additional surgery with curative intent after endoscopic resection for early colorectal cancer at the Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, South Korea, between January 2001 and April 2010.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We identified risk factors associated with residual tumor or lymph node metastasis in surgical specimens after noncurative endoscopic resection for early colorectal cancer.
RESULTS: Among 85 patients who underwent additional surgery after noncurative endoscopic resection, 76 (89.4%) had submucosal invasion greater than 1000 μm. Twenty-one (24.7%) and 25 patients (29.4%) had a positive lateral or vertical resection margin, and 11 patients (12.9%) had inadequate lifting sign. After additional surgery, patients were divided into 2 groups according to the presence or absence of residual tumor and/or lymph node metastasis. There was no significant difference between the groups in positive lateral margin, but there was a significant difference in positive vertical margin (p = 0.015 with an OR of 15.02). In patients with inadequate lifting sign, the OR was 13.68 (p = 0.013).
LIMITATIONS: This study was limited by its retrospective nature.
CONCLUSION: There is a greater need for additional surgery in cases with positive vertical resection margin or inadequate lifting sign, because the risk of residual tumor and lymph node metastasis is higher than in other cases.

He has a lot of deficiencies but he's better than anyone we've had in a long time Anyways no more. Please let me forget this game ever happened. We just beat Missouri!
On a different note. Why aren't you guys playing Texas anymore. It would be a shame to not play your rival every year. Florida and Florida state do it, as well as Georgia and Georgia tech, and they're in different conferences.... And good luck vs Oklahoma.
Yeah, ya'll have a great basketball team. I'll never forget this bullshit no call years back though...
Our basketball program is about to crumble. Everything Billy Clyde Gillespie, Acie Law and Donald Sloan built up is falling apart.

THQ's first volley in the attack to create the next great shooter franchise offers up a scary what-if scenery that deftly utilizes familiar sights of Americana in a burned out war-torn landscape and a brutal enemy. It's just a shame that the single-player game is so rooted in old-school design sensibilities. The multiplayer, on the other hand, is dead on for fans of Call of Duty who want something familiar, but still a little new.

Terrorist, or failed mixtape rapper?
When 5-0 killed that bum CD peddler in Times Square the other day, they found in his wallet a cryptic message scribbled on the back of the business card of an arms dealer from Virginia. Or at least that's what they told the New York Times. The message (and I'm paraphrasing, for time): "I just got done watching the Last Dragon. I'll be damned if I end up in a paddy wagon." Roflcopter.
'90s babies might need to consult IMDB to find out what the Last Dragon is. The New York Times at least got that part right. But they made it sound as if the message itself was some sort of symbolic statement. Like maybe this guy was a jihadist, and his goal was to commit suicide by police, or whatever it's called, and then the cops would find that card in his wallet and the line about the Last Dragon would be printed in the paper, as a signal to his fellow jihadists.
Some Scotty Templeton figure at the Times must have seen that the business card came from Virginia and started thinking with that where there's smoke there's fire logic. Didn't some guys from Virginia recently get busted for trying to join al Qaeda via the Internets, as if it was a Facebook group (People Who Can't Stand Freedom!!!)? Or was that Georgia? I know the terrorist who shot up Fort Hood was in communication with a terrorist based out of Fort Hood. Wasn't he also from Virginia? Hmm…
I couldn't help but be reminded of when the DC sniper started leaving notes, and he'd end each one with "our word is our bond." Or at least that's how the Wilford Brimley-looking sheriff pronounced it on MSNBC. Then the dumbass anchors would discuss what it might mean, when it was obviously just the '90s-era rap slang. Had it even been revealed at that point that the DC sniper was black? If not, that should have been the dead giveaway. That and the fact that he was taking weekends off.
If only Raymond Martinez had a black man's work ethic. It sounds like he was a real hustler. As discussed in a post on my own site the other day, he was running a scam that involved asking people their name, writing their name on a CD, and then intimidating them into buying the CD. The tallest hispanic person I've ever seen was like 5'10", which makes me wonder just how intimidating this guy really was. I mean, if that guy from Heltah Skeltah who was a pimp pulled some shit like that on me, not only would I buy the CD, but I'd probably sign over the deed to my house in a shanty town. It needs a lot of improvements anyway. But if it was Raymond Martinez, he'd pretty much have to show me that machine gun he carried. And how long could he have gotten away with pointing a machine gun at people in Times Square?
Whereas it sounds like he'd been pulling this CD shit for a while. He almost certainly made more money this year than I did, even though I've got an extra two weeks or so. Times Square is full of sorry-looking people asking you if you like comedy (which I actually don't), but the NYPD felt it necessary to crack down on this guy in particular. And a video of him just surfaced on MTV, back in '08, competing against Kanye West in a trivia contest. Which would suggest to me that he was in Times Square back then, and MTV needed a black guy for this trivia show, so they sent one of their interns down to get him. Someone at the New York Post turned up MTV's own video of this show the other day. I went to watch it just now, but MTV had it removed from their site. I guess they don't want that studio where they used to tape TRL associated with machine gun toting hispanic mixtape bums. Probably a smart business move on their part.
If there was any question as to whether Raymond Martinez was just an especially desperate mixtape bum, this trivia show, as described in the Post, should put it to rest. Martinez actually beat Kanye West, but only on some ol' bullshit. Martinez failed to answer fairly obvious questions about "Children's Story" and Tribe's "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo," while West nailed questions about the relatively obscure Diamond D and Jeru the Damaja – thus proving that Kanye West really does know better, he just won't do better. But Raymond Martinez got him in the end, by naming every rapper who appeared on DJ Khaled's "We Takin' Over" when Kanye couldn't. Is it any wonder this guy had to invent a scam to sell his CDs? Obviously he didn't know from good rap music.

Notre Dame fans will tell you that they have the toughest schedule in all of college football, while SEC homers will tell you that the schedule isn't as difficult as playing as a member in the toughest conference.
Well, in hopes to settle some of the debates, what if the Irish were to play the schedule of the Alabama Crimson Tide? We already tried this with Alabama playing the Notre Dame schedule and quickly realized that the Tide would be able to hold their own as usual.
The concept is real easy. Notre Dame makes all of the road trips that Alabama would have made during the 2013 season, while the opponents will pack their bags for Notre Dame Stadium instead of Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Will Notre Dame be able to prove all of the SEC lovers wrong and earn its way into another BCS bowl?
The outcome may be a little different than you expected.

BOWLING GREEN A Perrysburg Township man who stole more than $66,000 from his former employer was sentenced yesterday to four months in the Wood County jail and ordered to pay full restitution.
Michael Forwerck, 34, pleaded guilty in July to theft and unauthorized use of a company computer for embezzling from Clarke Power Products on Glenwood Road between July, 2005, and January.
Wood County Common Pleas Court Judge Reeve Kelsey also placed Forwerck on community control for four years and ordered him to perform 400 hours of community service.
Prosecutors said Forwerck set up a dummy account through which he received payments for products shipped to customers, then would list those orders as warranty parts with no payment required, and pocket the money.

We had a number of research assistants read stories and we described to them what the concept of awe is; it's something that opens the mind and is inspiring. And we made sure that they had a good understanding of this concept. We had them read some articles with us and come to a conclusion about what an awe-inspiring piece would be. And then they rated about 3,000 stories each on how much awe they inspired...
One is "Rare Treatment is Reported to Cure AIDS Patient." Another story was called "The Promise and Power of RNA." A final example would be "Found: An Ancient Monument to the Soul," a story about the archeological discovery of an inscription on a Turkish monument from the eighth century, indicating a belief that the body and the soul were separate. What we find interesting is the connectivity issue. People tend to proselytize about awe-inspiring experiences. This is one of the main ways that religion has been thought to spread. When I have an amazing experience, I tell others about it.
