>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Don't run when ill - The hills will get you.In full: Despite being ill the night before I was still able to struggle for a 1.55 (much slower than last year)finish with wonderful support throughout. Was a bit hot today but as with last year faultless organisation and a great challenge. Note to self train for the hills! Will def be back well done for one of the best HM's around!Date of review: October 7, 2013
In short: Tough in parts but fun throughoutIn full: Despite only doing the HM due to injury and a lack of overall fitness I really enjoyed this run. The hills were tough at parts but there was enough parts to make up time. The Marshalls were excellent and friendly and aid stations were well stocked though only needed to use them twice. The goody bag was probably one of the best with a t-shirt, mug and other bits and also a medal to boot!! Will do again next year but hopefully the full distance and great that on my doorstop. Well done for a great day and fun but challenging run.Date of review: September 15, 2013
In short: What's not to love!!!In full: Love the Yateley 10k series and it's always such a good event that so many people turn up for a real good mix of abilities. Support good and medal also good. Best organised 10k I have ever attended...Date of review: June 6, 2013
In short: Good HM with good scenery and undulating hills!!In full: First HM since Oct due to injury and prep for the Brighton and London Marathons. Enjoyed the day and the Park & ride was excellent. Atmosphere was good but not anymore and the overall experience was good..more hills than I expected and would do again..Date of review: February 19, 2013
In short: Hills and hills then a sprint down to the finish!!In full: I loved this race and it was so challenging but rewarding at the same time. The hills were a killer at times but the downhills made it worth while and helped get a PB. Support for a small race was great and the locations were really different. Will def be doing this again next year one of the best around!!Date of review: October 29, 2012
In short: Not bad but getting home was a nightmare!In full: Having run with an injury and being dressed a Sonic the Hedgehog I wasn't expecting a good time but 1.30 was okish. Crowd were really good however getting home took three times as long as it should have. Organisation at the end was a bit poor as well. Not bad but apart from London and Brighton marathon I will stick to smaller races like the Cabbage Patch and Bstoke half..Date of review: October 29, 2012

Why couldn't he get a permit? Their are Neapolitan ovens in SF....
I really detest bureaucracy... even when it works out in my favor...
Hey guys, wanted to introduce myself. My name is Terry and my wife and I are working on opening a wood fired pizza place in Baltimore. We're going for Neapolitan style with house made traditional and unique toppings...
Hey guys, wanted to introduce myself. My name is Terry and my wife and I are working on opening a wood fired pizza place in Baltimore. We're going for Neapolitan style with house made traditional and unique toppings.
Hey Terry. I own a small Pizzeria Tavern right between Fells Point and Canton on Eastern Ave. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know... just lemme use your oven now and again if you get to move fwd with it Woodberry Kitchen already has their oven. If youre in their area, you should be able to slide by. I hate ordinances haha
Thanks Rich, been to JRads, good pizza, even better atmosphere! I'll keep you in mind, just trying to get everything in order before we proceed. There's no sense to me if I can't get the WFO I want. The city and state seem to be mostly concerned with the exhaust being a nuisance to the residents. Fortunately, there really aren't any residents!
In Baltimore, WFO's can't be "x" amount of yards from a residence. Even though there are thousands of wood burning fireplaces.
That's not entirely true.I spent a good amount of time dealing with this issue when constructing a business plan and considering opening a pizzeria in Baltimore.One of the frustrating things is you may get more than one answer, depending on who you are talking to with the city.The key issue isn't the proximity of the WFO itself to residential buildings, but the proximity of the venting exit point from residential areas (you may have meant this in your post). This is one reason why searching out a building that is taller, or at least as high as, any surrounding residential buildings would be beneficial (assuming you are opening a space in a more dense inner-city location where most buildings are connected). That way, you can increase the height of the venting out of the roof of the building and into an extension on top of the building....so, for example, the actual vent exit point where any smoke comes out could be 15 to 20 feet higher than the surrounding residential buildings.This is where a prevailing wind study by the Maryland Department of the Environment may potentially be needed to prove that the prevailing wind is not a downdraft that would blow smoke from your high vent exit point downwards towards the residences.Needless to say, this could require extensive venting/ductwork (length of ducting) which would obviously increase the all-in costs of installing a WFO in a space. Such a tall vent column could potentially cause issues with proper air/flow exhaust out of the oven.There are obviously many configurations of venting and potential spaces to open a place in....some spaces maybe not needing as much legwork to get the go ahead for a WFO.Good luck with your new pizzeria. Attention to detail with your plans and persistence in jumping through hoops will lead you to the WFO promised land, in due time. Best of luck! --K
Looks like we have the go ahead from the City and State! It's been a difficult few weeks, back and forth, back and forth! But I truly believe we're on our way to wood fired goodness in Baltimore! Now, funding and design!
Howdy! Did you ever get your pizzeria open in Baltimore? I'd love to stop in.
Depends on the space. Does it need to be totally built out? Does it already have a kitchen, ventilation, adequate restrooms, water, electricity, gas. LOTS of variables. For what I'm looking to do, it will cost about $200k-250 for the buildout. That includes everything including exterior signage.
Hey Terry,I hope you're able to find a location and soon be able to open up your own pizza restaurant. If you don't mind, could you please take a moment and explain how a lease works when one is doing the type of very expensive "buildout" you were facing with the property you were formerly contemplating. Thanks alot.Bob

Reviewing the evidence base for nurse staffing and quality of care in nursing homes

Implications for practice and research
■ There is some evidence that the registered nurse to nursing auxiliary ratio has an impact on the quality of care but further research is needed.
■ There is a need to consider other factors such as staff turnover and the use of agency staff when considering the quality of care in nursing homes (NHs).
■ Further research is needed to identify quality indicators that take into account what is important to residents and their families.
■ There are a number of methodological challenges to undertaking research in this area.
This research comes at a time when NHs are being increasingly asked to do more with less. Revenues for NHs do not appear to be keeping up with inflation. Given that …

quote timmytitch92Thats something I don't like about RSE and DPPT. I remember there were different sprites for each version. In GSC alone, each pokemon all together had 15 individual sprites, front, back and shiny. 3765 for all pokemon, then there was unown, which means 52 added.awesome i love the entie and lugia 1... im a little disopointed with the ho-oh one however it kind of put me off of having him in my team now :\ but im mostly going to be submiting my team to pbr so yea... do you think the sprites may differ a little per version?
quote Rex the Water Riderit couldnt of been Xd and coloseum i replayed them last week with ho-oh on them and his wings where opend same with lugia articuno moltres and zapdos... why is zapdos flying while the rest are on the ground? just wondering why hes the odd 1 outHo-Oh's wings is like that because he flew ALL DAY LONG! Longer he fly, the more pain he push the wings down and close them. Oh yeah, a game had Ho-Oh with its wings closed. I think Orre had Ho-Oh's wings closed or it was older generation of 3D style games.

Is that Agatha with Soul looking down the hole? I see it's her with her cane. It's not Karen because Karen's hair is longer and you can see the furry collar from Agatha's coat. Just wondering because, well, the Kanto E4 members (barring Bruno...and Green) weren't really present in Gold and Silver, were they?

No one will know how tedious it was
Here's a gift idea for a holiday or birthday or just because. Scan in all those old printed photos from before the digital camera era.
It's really, really tedious, and someone who has never done it will never guess how mind numbingly tedious it is. But it is worthwhile.
Deliver the digital results loaded onto a digital picture frame. Trust me, you won't scan in more photos than will fit into memory. When the recipient boots up that frame, with all those old photos of newborns and swimming pools, they'll really love it. And they won't think you're too cheap to buy a present, because you bought the picture frame.
I scanned 174 photos this holiday weekend, working on and off between the other holiday and household tasks. That's a small percentage of the photos in the house. I'm sure you all have albums and boxes full of photos. The task may seem overwhelming, but just start scanning and filing, and soon you'll be 20% done!

This week, Secretary Clinton participated in the second-ever U.S.-Colombian High-Level Partnership Dialogue at the Department of State. Secretary Clinton said, "…[T]his is a relationship that is on a solid foundation but has the opportunity to become so much more for the benefit not only of the people of Colombia, but I would say for our own people in the United States the kind of positive, open relationship that we hope to see even stronger in the future."
Secretary Clinton held bilateral meetings with Colombian Foreign Minister Maria Angela Holguin, Brazilian Foreign Minister Antonio de Aguiar Patriota, Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg, and Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov. In each meeting, Secretary Clinton and her counterparts discussed a wide variety of bilateral and global issues.
As we reflected on the 30th anniversary of the first reported cases of HIV/AIDS in the United States, Secretary Clinton announced a new public-private partnership with the M•A•C AIDS Fund to expand critical medical and emergency support services for survivors of rape and sexual assault in South Africa. The Secretary said, "…[T]he United States is taking a multi-pronged approach that addresses not only rape and sexual assault, but also human trafficking, child marriage, and related issues. We're working to expand economic opportunity and legal protections for women and to improve their access to health care."
As the Secretary Clinton prepares to travel to Africa in the week ahead, Assistant Secretary Johnnie Carson previewed the 2011 U.S. Africa Trade and Economic Cooperation Forum, in Lusaka, Zambia, on June 9-10. He said, "...AGOA is an important part of the overall engagement of the United States with Africa. We seek to help the nations of Sub-Saharan Africa become important partners in the global economy, and the trade opportunities offered under AGOA provide the means to help that happen."
In news related to the Near East and North Africa, Secretary Clinton participated in the Business Forum Promoting Commercial Opportunities in Iraq, where she highlighted the United States' civilian commitment to Iraq's future. The Secretary also addressed the shutdown of the Internet in Syria and renewed her call for the government of Syria to respect universal human rights. She said, "We condemn any effort to suppress the Syrian people's exercise of their rights to free expression, assembly, and association."
Assistant Secretary of State Jeffrey Feltman addressed recent events in Libya in an Op-Ed for Politico, and Program Officer Bryan Schaaf discussed U.S. government efforts to assist migrants fleeing Libya and provide help to refugees in Tunisia, Egypt, and other neighboring countries. This year, the world commemorates the 60th anniversary of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. In the coming weeks, former refugees will be sharing their stories in a series of DipNote blog entries.
In other news, J. Alexander Their discussed USAID's approach to Pakistan, which focuses on the need to promote sustainable economic growth by addressing the country's energy crisis and raising incomes in the agricultural sector, the mainstay of Pakistan's economy. Our dedicated Foreign Service Liaison Officer described Pacific Partnership 2011's "homecoming" to Papua New Guinea, making it Pacific Partnership's most-visited country. While in PNG, PP2011 volunteers and service members paid tribute to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their countries by attending a Memorial Day ceremony on May 30. Meanwhile, Press Officer Nicole Nucelli shared her Memorial Day experience in Kabul. She said, "…[W]e acknowledge the memory of service members and diplomats no longer with us by carrying on their important work."
Assistant Secretary Ann Stock highlighted the launch of the new J-1 Visa Exchange Visitor Program website, which will make it easier for visitors, program sponsors and host families to find the information they need. Ambassador Nicole Avant highlighted a cultural exchange program that brought the "105 Voices of History" choir, comprised of students representing Historically Black Colleges and Universities, to The Bahamas.
Tomorrow, international youth soccer players and their American counterparts will join Secretary Clinton and members of the U.S. Women's National Team at the launch of the Women's World Cup Initiative: Empowering Women and Girls Through Sports. The event will be streamed live on DipNote and state.gov at 9:30 a.m. (EDT).
As this week concludes, our thoughts are with the family, friends, and colleagues of former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger, who passed away on June 4, 2011. Secretary Clinton said Eagleburger, the first career Foreign Service Officer to be named Secretary of State, was "…a strong voice and stalwart champion for America's values. His passing is America's loss."

If these vital minerals can be brought back to earth, maybe we can reduce our National Deficit and come out of the red ink with a surplus.

Permanent director named for State Crime Lab
Permanent director named for State Crime Lab
Release date: 10/7/2011
Judge John gets unanimous approval from panel of experts
Joseph R. John, Sr. has been appointed as the permanent director of the State Crime Lab, Attorney General Roy Cooper and SBI Director Greg McLeod announced today.
"Judge John is a skillful leader who is guiding the crime lab toward the highest standards," Cooper said. "I expect him to continue to make sure that the lab uses the latest science to pinpoint criminals and eliminate potential suspects."
"The State Crime Lab provides invaluable service to help solve crimes and keep our state safe," McLeod said. "Judge John has proven to be a strong lab director who works well with all members of the criminal justice community."
John, a former appellate and trial court judge with 25 years experience on the bench, was appointed by Cooper as acting director of the lab last October. As acting director, he has supervised day-to-day lab operations, headed a legal review, and made significant improvements to ensure confidence in the lab's work, including pursuing stringent new international standards.
After an extensive national search, an advisory committee of defense attorneys, prosecutors, law enforcement, a scientist and judicial officials unanimously recommended that Judge John get the lab director job permanently.
"Since Judge John accepted the interim directorship of the North Carolina State Crime Lab, he has unsurprisingly conducted himself with honor, transparency, and dedication. He has worked hard to lift the morale of the Crime Lab and bring it back to its mission of unbiased, transparent, and competent science. While there is never a person for any job who will receive unanimous approval of every stakeholder, I enthusiastically join with the rest of the very diverse advisory search committee that unanimously recommended to the Attorney General that Judge John be allowed to become the permanent director of the North Carolina State Crime Lab. I hope all the stakeholders in the criminal justice system will rally around his continued efforts to make North Carolina's Crime Lab one that is not only open and unbiased, but one that can be a model for others to follow," said Joe Cheshire, a defense attorney who served on the committee.
Other members of the committee are: Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Quentin Summer; Cary Police Chief Pat Bazemore; Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby; Cabarrus County Sheriff Brad Riley; Moore County District Attorney Maureen Kreuger; Attorney Phil Baddour; President of Advocates for Justice; District Attorney Seth Edwards, District 2, President of the NC Conference of District Attorneys; and
Dr. Terri Lomax,
Vice Chancellor for Research & Innovation at NC State University.
State Crime Lab
analyzes crime scene evidence including digital evidence, drugs, DNA, firearms, fingerprints, hair and fibers. Analysis by forensic scientists working for the lab can identify suspects and help clear the innocent.
"The scientists working in the State Lab today are talented, highly trained individuals who are committed to finding the truth, and I look forward to continuing to work with them to serve the citizens of our state and the criminal justice system," said Judge John.
As lab director, Judge John will be assisted by two deputy assistant directors with science backgrounds. He will also work closely with the Forensic Science Advisory Board, a group of scientists and forensic experts who will meet quarterly to review the lab's methods and make recommendations. Members of the board are expected to be named soon.
Judge John served on the NC Court of Appeals from 1992-2000, as Resident Superior Court Judge in Greensboro from 1984-1992, and as a District Court Judge from 1980-1984. He has worked in private practice, as a prosecutor, as a criminal defense attorney, and as a Legal Aid attorney. He is a graduate of the UNC School of Law and attended Belmont Abbey College, and holds bachelors and masters degree from UNC-Chapel Hill.
Cooper initiated a series of changes at the State Crime Lab last year, including the appointment of McLeod and Judge John, following the results of an independent review he commissioned to look at past serology cases and lab practices dating from the late 1980's.
As acting lab director, Judge John has supervised a number of changes that are strengthening the lab's work:
Working toward accreditation under the stringent ISO17025 standards. Already the drug chemistry section is operating under ISO sampling standards, and other sections will be phased in with eventual full operation expected later this year. That will allow the lab to be accredited by two outside organizations, making it one of the first in the U.S. to have dual ISO accreditation.
Additional external certification for all SBI forensic scientists in their individual disciplines, including external peer review. All computer forensic scientists are certified, and approximately seventy lab scientists are preparing for certification examinations in other disciplines later this year. North Carolina's lab is one of only a handful in the country with this independent certification requirement.
Initiated legal review of lab procedures in conjunction with full-time legal counsel to the lab.
Completed two independent audits of the lab's DNA unit and the lab was found to meet the highest national standards set by the FBI.
Improvements to the Forensic Advantage system, which provides all lab reports and bench notes to prosecutors for sharing with defendants through the discovery process, are underway to make document retrieval easier.
Old cases undiscovered by the earlier independent review were voluntarily disclosed for review by district attorneys.
Expanded process for soliciting feedback from courtroom personnel on forensic scientists' court testimony.
Made all current lab policies, procedures, and accreditation information available to the public online.
Providing advanced courtroom testimony training for laboratory personnel as well as additional forensic science training for the criminal justice system, including training for prosecutors and defense attorneys.
Formed a partnership with NC State University, Fayetteville State University and Wake County CCBI to establish a Center for Forensic Science Excellence here in North Carolina and are awaiting approval for federal funding from the National Institute of Justice.

Nvidia Corp., one of the world's two large suppliers of discrete graphics processing units (GPUs), has reportedly faced massive cancellation of product orders by its largest customers. This negatively impacts the company and also once again emphasizes that global demand towards high-technology is falling very rapidly.
Asustek Computer, MicroStar International, Gigabyte Technology, Palit Microsystems and PC Partner have reduced their orders to Nvidia, according to a news-story by DigiTimes web-site claims citing unnamed industry sources. It is estimated that Nvidia lost orders for about 1.5 million, of which 400 thousand were supposed to ship to Palit in Q1 2009, due to high inventory levels.
Nvidia recently said that revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 is expected to be lower than guidance provided during its third quarter fiscal 2009 financial conference call held November 6, 2008. Total revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 is now expected to decline 40% to 50% sequentially as a result of further weakness in end-user demand and inventory reductions by Nvidia's channel partners in the global PC supply chain.
For the third quarter of Nvidia's fiscal 2009 revenue was $897.7 million, which means that for the fourth quarter revenue will be in the range between $448.85 million to $538.62 million.
While Nvidia did not outline which product segments demonstrated largest declines during the quarter, it is not hard to make certain assumptions based on Nvidia's Q3 FY2009 performance and revenue split. Considering that more than half of Nvidia's sales come from GPU business, whereas another 44% come from chipset and professional solutions businesses, it is evident that the company saw substantial declines in revenues virtually accross the board, perhaps, excluding professional segment.
Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

Welcome TeaFriends to TeaDay. Let's brew and share what is in our cups today...all day. You can reflect back on your TeaDay if you need to.
Yesterday, we discussed "Do you need a "change" in your sessions of tea?" You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.
Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic is about our senses and our tea ... basically sight, smell, touch, taste, and of course hearing too! How do these senses interplay with your enjoyment of tea? Not necessarily how you choose your teas, but it can be ... or can be how the senses help you to enjoy your tea! This is a rerun from a few years ago, I am wondering how everyone will respond this time around!
I am as always looking forward to sharing TeaDay with everyone. So, bottoms up, refill, and repeat often...

Well, it was Tuesday again, and we had quite a lot of announcements here at IBM this week! Over 1,800 clients attended the [Live February 5 webcast]! The announcements were all part of IBM's SmartCloud Storage portfolio. Here are the highlights:
- STN7800 Real-time Compression Appliance
Back in October 2010, IBM announced the acquisition of Storwize, Inc., renaming its NAS-compression units to the IBM Real-time Compression appliances. Some folks were confused, so I had a blog post [IBM Storwize Product Name Decoder Ring]. IBM initially offered two models:
- The [STN6500 model] had 16 Ethernet ports 1GbE (16x1GbE) and a pair of four-core processors.
- The [STN6800 model] had either eight 10GbE ports (8x10GbE), or four 10GbE plus eight 1GbE ports (4x10GbE+8x1GbE). It has a pair of six-core processors.
Now, IBM offers the [STN7800 model], which can replace either of the ones above, offering 16x1GbE, 8x10GbE, and 4x10GbE+8x1GBE port configurations. It has a pair of eight-core processors to handle more robust Cloud Storage environments. See [Announcement Letter 113-012] for more details.
- New XIV Gen3 model 214
With its awesome support for VMware, the XIV is often chosen for Cloud storage. The new XIV model 214 now offers up to a dozen 10GbE ports, or you can stay with the 22 1GbE ports available on previous models. These can be used for iSCSI host attachment and/or IP-based replication.
IBM strives to make each new model of every storage device more energy efficient than the last. The new XIV model is no exception. The original XIV, introduced in 2008, consumed 8.4 kVA fully loaded. The XIV Gen 3 model 114 consumed 7.0 kVA. This new model 214 consumes only 5.9 kVA!
It has been almost three years since my now infamous post [Double Drive Failure Debunked: XIV Two Years Later]. Back then, the XIV offered only 1TB and 2TB drives, with rebuild time for 1TB drive of less than 30 minutes, and for 2TB less than 60 minutes.
The new XIV Gen3 software 11.2 release, available for both the 114 and 214 models, can now rebuild a 2TB drive in less than 26 minutes, and a 3TB drive in less than 39 minutes. There is also support specific to Windows Server 2012 including thin provisioning, MSCS, VSS, and Hyper-V. See [Announcement Letter 113-013] for more details.
- SmartCloud Storage Access
IBM is the first major storage vendor to offer a product of this kind, so understanding it may be a bit difficult.
The concept is simple. Rather than having end-users having to ask IT every time they need some storage space, IBM created a self-service portal that frees up the IT department to work on more important transformational projects.
This is basically what people can do with "Public Cloud" storage service providers, so basically IBM is now giving you the capability with your "Private Cloud" storage deployment.
Here is the sequence of events. End users point their favorite web browser to the self-service portal, and login using their credentials stored in your Active Directory or LDAP server database.
Once validated, the end-user now can request new storage space, expanding their existing space, or returning the space to the IT department. For new storage requests, users can have a choice of storage classes, -- such as Gold, Silver and Bronze-- defined in the Tivoli Storage Productivity Center (TPC), either stand-alone or in the SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center.
But wait! Do you want to give every end-user a blank check to provision their own storage? Most IT staff are horrified at the thought.
Knowing this, IBM has included an option to put in an approval process, based on the end-user and the amount of capacity requested. The approver can be the cloud administrator, or someone delegated for approvals, known as an environment owner.
For some users, policies may restrict the storage classes as well. For example, Fred can only have Silver or Bronze, but not Gold.
Once the approval is obtained, TPC then issues the appropriate commands to the appropriate SONAS or Storwize V7000 Unified device. SmartCloud Storage Access can do this for thousands of storage devices across dozens of geographically dispersed locations.
Before, the Cloud Admin had to configure storage pools of managed disks, define file systems, dole out file sets to hundreds or thousands of users with hard quotas, and then configure shares based on the protocols required, like CIFS, NFS, HTTPS, etc.
With SmartCloud Storage Access, the Cloud admin still defines the pools and file systems, but then lets the self-service capability of the software to create the file sets, set the quotas and configure shares with the appropriate protocols. This greatly reduces the work on the IT staff, and greatly improves the turn-around time for end-user requests to get exactly what they want, when they need it.
The next time you withdraw money from an ATM machine, fill up your gas tank at the self-service gas station, then serve your own salad at the salad bar and fill up your own soft drink at the fast food restaurant, you will realize and appreciate that SmartCloud Storage Access is a brilliant move for the IT staff.
Cloud administrators, environment owners, and end-users can all use SmartCloud Storage Access to monitor and report on storage usage.
See [Announcement Letter 213-087] for more details.
For more information on these announcements, check out the [IBM Smarter Storage landing page].
For a different perspective on this, consider Dave Vallente's thoughts on Wikibon, in his [Message to IBM's Ambuj Goyal: A Prescription for Storage Transformation]. Ironically, Ambuj Goyal was my fifth-line manager for the past two years, but since he took this new job leading Storage and System Networking, he is no longer in my management chain.

Stasis dermatitis is a change in the skin that occurs when blood collects (pools) in the veins of the lower leg.
Venous stasis ulcers; Ulcers - venous; Venous ulcer
Venous insufficiency is a long-term (chronic) condition in which the veins have problems sending blood from the legs back to the heart.
Some people with venous insufficiency develop stasis dermatitis. Blood pools in the veins of the lower leg. Fluid and blood cells leak out of the veins into the skin and other tissues. This may lead to itching and inflammation, which cause more skin changes.
You may have symptoms of venous insufficiency including:
At first, the skin of the ankles and lower legs may look thin or tissue-like. You may slowly get brown stains on the skin.
The skin may become irritated or crack if you scratch it. It may also become red or swollen, crusted, or weepy.
Over time, some skin changes become permanent:
Skin sores (ulcers) may develop (called a venous ulcer or stasis ulcer). These most often form on the inside of the ankle.
The diagnosis is primarily based on the way the skin looks. Your doctor may order tests to examine the blood flow in your legs.
Stasis dermatitis can be related to heart problems, so you may need tests to check your heart function.
You may take the following steps to manage the venous insufficiency that causes stasis dermatitis:
Some skin care treatments can make the problem worse. Talk with your health care provider before using any lotions, creams, or antibiotic ointments.
Things to avoid:
Treatments your health care provider may suggest include:
Stasis dermatitis is often a long-term (chronic) condition.
Call your health care provider if you develop leg swelling or symptoms of stasis dermatitis.
Watch for signs of infection such as:
To prevent this condition, control the causes of peripheral edema.

Klamath Falls
B.S. Renewable Energy Engineering B.S. Environmental Sciences
I have lived in Klamath Falls since I was 6 years old and know of Oregon Tech's great reputation. After getting out of the Marine Corps in 2009 I found out that Oregon Tech had recently started a Renewable Energy Engineering program that I was definitely interested in; this program was one of a kind across the nation.
Scholarships mean a lot to me and all other veterans. Even though there have been significant increases in the educational benefits that the Post 9/11 GI Bill awards to many veterans, there is still a need for outside monetary income for school tuition and fees. Scholarships allow all students and veterans the opportunity to live a more comfortable life during their progression through school while not having to worry as much about their next paycheck. This ease of tension allows for a more focused environment and, I believe, to more successful students.
My ultimate goal after obtaining my degrees will be to put my education to use in the Klamath Basin. I grew up in Klamath Falls and have been here my whole life other than the five years I honorably served in the United States Marine Corps. I would love to focus on bringing more geothermal applications into the basin because it is a nearly untapped renewable energy resource in this area that has a lot of potential for the future. This area provides me with a large opportunity to put my professional skills to use.
What I admire most about Oregon Tech is the close relationships that I have established with many of my professors on campus. This is a huge advantage in the ultimate learning outcomes that are expected of all graduates. This is one opportunity that I feel is not possible at any number of larger institutions in the state, and even the country.
The only challenging situations that I have found myself in while being a student at Oregon Tech have been of my own doing. I have thoroughly involved myself with many aspects of this campus including being a member of the Renewable Energy Engineering Club, one of eight active members of the Veterans Action Committee (VAC), the Executive Director of the Oregon Tech Veterans Association (OVA), a research aide in the Geo-Heat Center, and trying to obtain two B.S. degrees in only four years. The last three and half years have been extremely challenging, but only because Oregon Tech has provided me with so many opportunities to not only further my education, but to also be involved in many other areas I previously mentioned. I do not regret any of these challenging situations because they have only made me more confident in my abilities to achieve any goals that I have set forth for myself.
Sustainability Science and Technology
This course has allowed me the opportunity to consolidate everything I have learned in renewable energy engineering over the past three and half years and mesh it with new and innovative technologies that promote sustainability for the future.
When I first began school here in 2009, I had only been off of Marine Corps active duty for three weeks. At that time I was not looking for much around campus as far as veterans' assistance. However, after only a term or two, I slowly began to realize that there were a lot of questions, including both educational benefits and medical benefits that I did not know the answers to. I did not know where to turn and had made a few other friends, all veterans, with the same issues. It was at this point that we decided we needed something on campus that could better provide these services for our student veterans. We started a veterans club back up, one that had not been active for quite a few years, and slowly began recruiting new members and working alongside our veterans certifying official to find answers to all of our questions. We were then able to spread the word to other veterans on campus by word of mouth much easier. In December of 2011, we were able to officially turn our veterans club into a program. Becoming a program allowed us to expand. We now have a larger budget for putting on various events that bring student veterans together. We have also obtained our own space on campus, a veterans resource center, where veterans can come to work on school work, relax and spend time with other veterans, send emails, fax documents to the VA, and most importantly, find quick answers to the same questions that I had when I was a freshman at Oregon Tech trying to transition out of the military back to the life of a civilian. We are now officially a veteran friendly school and were just recently presented a flag by Congressman Greg Walden for our devoted efforts to making our campus a great place for any and all veterans.
I am very confident that the leadership abilities I learned while I was in the Marine Corps undoubtedly help me get to the position I am in today. I have been able to stay focused on my schoolwork and achieve all of the goals I have set forth for myself. I know that these successful trends will continue throughout the rest of my time at Oregon Tech as well as my future career path. Oregon Tech has only helped solidify what was instilled in me while in the Marine Corps.
First of all, I would unselfishly recommend Oregon Tech as an outstanding place to obtain their education, no matter their desired career path. I have had many veteran friends that went straight into a career after the military without going back to school to obtain a degree. The majority of these people have since quit their jobs and decided that an education is the best possible scenario for becoming successful in today's job market. Whether theses veterans actually do choose Oregon Tech or not, choosing to further their education, in my opinion, is the best choice they could ever make in life. There are definitely some bumps along the way when obtaining a degree of higher education, but with the work myself and others have done on Oregon Tech's campus, as well as all of the work that many other campus's just like ours' are doing, this process has become much more smooth and will only continue to improve.

help with Italian starters, room temp rise
May 13, 2005, 03:07:13 AM »
I tried my second batch of dough with the electrolux mixer, but this time I used caputo pizzeria flour. I know this is a tricky flour and I am totally new to this whole starter thing, but I am baffled by a few things.
Like my last experiment, I tried two versions of the dough. One was a 18 hour room temp rise at roughly 77 degrees, and one was a 24 hour fridge rise dough. I used a full size version of pizzanapoletana's recipe, but with a splash of olive oil after a 20 min autolyse, the smallest amount of ADY I could (just a few grains), and 55 grams of salt instead of 45. I brought up the amount of salt because I knew the temp in my apartment was a little higher than the 60-65 degrees that pizzanapoletana recommends. I did end up mixing way longer than I should have, probably close to 35 min at the lowest speed, with a 5 min break towards the end. I was really taking my time while adding the flour. I am still figuring out this mixer. When the dough was finished it was 82 degrees.
The room temp rise dough had a nice amount of spring to it, but my fridge rise dough didn't really have any. It was flat and gummy. I have come to expect that it will not rise while it is in the fridge, but why is there so much less lift in the oven than the room temp rise dough? When I pulled the dough out of the fridge I let it sit for about an hour close to the oven where it had a chance to come up to room temp before cooking. Does anyone know why my room temp rise dough has so much more spring than the fridge dough?
The other thing I can't figure out is why my dough is so sour. Even the fridge dough, but especially the room temp rise dough has a REALLY strong sourdough flavor, and I even thought I was using the dough a little early. I would cut back on the starter, but I need as much leavening as I can get. I did have a small mishap when I was starting the cultures where I didn't feed them enough, and I had to "wash" them. They did smell bad before I washed them, and hootch appeared, but it has never been on the bottom, or in the middle, so I was assuming that the culture had not been contaminated. Maybe I am using the culture at the wrong time. I have been keeping it out of the fridge and feeding it for a long time before using it. I keep feeding it until it is actually flowing over the top of it's container. then I stir it down, weigh it, and use it. Is it possible that the culture is too active when I am using it?
These are pretty much the same problems I was having with my last batch of dough, except now with the caputo and a better oven the flavor is totally there. Any advice to help me fix these problems would be much appreciated.

I just read pizzanapoletana's recent post about how mixing too long can make your dough too dense and gummy. I guess that explains the fridge dough problem. Somehow the room temp rise seems to have less of an issue with it. I guess the big question now is how to use my starter and not let it get too sour.

From my experience using sourdough starter, I can tell you that the optimum time (in my experience) to use the starter is when the starter looks foamy and bubbly on the top several hours after feeding. What I do is this: take starter out of frig and let it come up to room temperature 1-3 hours (checking temperature of the starter with a thermometer); then feed starter (I use equal parts flour and water, nothing else), stir well, cover, set at room temp or if a cold day, I put it in the oven with the oven light on; watch starter for signs of activity, i.e., a good head of foam on top, usually a half inch or more. This activity usually takes at least a couple of hours for me. At this point, I stir the starter very well with a spoon, incorporating air into the mixture, and pour out the amount I need. Then I cover the starter and put it back in the frig until the next time I need it or until there is more than an inch of "hooch" on top. If the later is the case, I pour off some of the hooch and feed the starter with flour and a little more water to maintain the thin batter consistency of my culture, let it sit until active, then put in refrigerator.
I can understand why someone beginning with starters would wonder when their starter was "ripe" to use. This is what I have learned from reading a lot about sourdough and keeping my culture for the past year.
Hope this helps,

My approach and experience is the same as Pyegal's. I have also found it useful to use warm water during the replenishment cycle.

I am not sure why you would want to use a starter if the sour yeasty smell is not something you are trying to achieve. Many times in my pizza making experiments I have had to punt and try again. With a new mixer you might want to go back put a few points on the board with a good basic NY style pizza dough where the knead cycle is around 10-12 min with an over night rise in the cooler and using KA high gluten flour.
Just a thought.

Scott ,I think that if the container you are using is too big,it can create too much acidity and produce a more sour starter.I am trying to get mine going at the moment and it seems to be O.K.(Hooch on top,no bad smell etc)but i'm not getting the 1"- 2" of Foam suggested?I started it on Saturday so i'm getting a little anxious ! Any advice is appreciated!

It took me well over a week for the Ischia starter to finally get activated. After each feeding, it seemed to bubble a little quicker and a little higher, until one day it blew the top off the plastic conainer I'm using for the incubator. For some reason, it produced much more hooch at the beginning of the process than at the end.
The Camaldoli after about 12 days still just produces about 3/4" of foam, but I had a major contamination fiasco and had to wash it. I think I need to start over. However, it does have an incredible aroma so I think it is worth the effort.

Cheers Bill.I'm starting with the Camaldoli (12 Days !!!-Ouch!)I don't want to start the Ischia for fear of cross contamination.It's funny but as soon as i opened the foil packet of the Camaldoli i sensed the Aroma of the pizzeria i spent some time in in Italy- it was a wonderful sensation!Sadly it has now dissipated or i have become desensitized to it?I shall press on however and have to throw out some of my Wifes Soda to make more room in the fridge!

David, get rid of that soda. When your wife tastes tha pizza she won't mind!
I feel bad that I was giving the cultures bad press here in the past. They are making really good pizza now. The beginning is by far the hardest part. Plan on it taking a long time. I have noticed that the amazing smell is still there, but is not as strong as it used to be. I don't know why, but the upside is that the cultures seem to be working better.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyThis shy and timid species is generally solitary. It is active at night, mostly feeding at dusk and dawn, and spends the day resting in the undergrowth (4). Lichen forms an important part of the Siberian musk deer's diet, and it may climb inclined trunks up to four metres above the ground to reach it. On average, 0.8 kilograms of lichen is consumed per day (2) and, during the winter, may comprise 99 percent of the deer's total food intake (1). Additional winter foods may include small branches, bark, leaves and pine needles, while in summer it may also take grasses, cereals and the leaves of the bilberry and wineberry (2). The Siberian musk deer does not forage particularly far afield, only ranging over a few kilometres per day, with summer and winter feeding grounds located nearby each other (4). During the autumn and winter, communal defecation sites, and their associated scents, are used to help the deer communicate with one another. Scent is also an important indicator of the male Siberian musk deer's territory, which may cover up to 300 hectares (4) and is marked out by wiping thick, yellow, strong-smelling secretions of the caudal gland on surrounding vegetation (5). The male's territory usually contains the feeding ranges of between one to three females and generally, weaker or smaller males will not attempt to enter into it, but on occasions that they do, fighting may ensue. During the breeding season, the male produces musk, which mixed with its urine, gives it a pink colour and the strong musk smell (5) that is believed to stimulate the female to begin oestrus (2). Breeding takes place in November and December, with females giving birth to one or two offspring after a gestation period of about six months. The suckling behaviour of musk deer is unusual; while the fawn suckles, the mother lifts her hind leg, which the fawn touches with its foreleg. A similar gesture is seen in some other hoofed mammals during courtship (5). The Siberian musk deer is capable of living up to 20 years in captivity, although the average age in the wild is three to four years (2).

E-retailers fend for themselves in the wake of a data breach.
No one likes to hear of yet another network breach in which criminals steal sensitive payment card details. Not consumers, not e-retailers, not payment processors, not the banks that issue credit and debit cards. But there was more of that kind of bad news last week when payment processor Global Payments Inc. disclosed parts of its network had been hacked and that criminals made off with sensitive data from as many as 1.5 million payment cards.
While card brands Visa Inc., MasterCard Inc., Discover Financial Services and American Express Co. will deal with Global Payments, and banks will reissue thousands of credit and debit cards, e-retailers will have to contend with the breach fallout on their own. As Gartner Inc. security analyst Avivah Litan said of retailers, "They don't get any fair warning."
E-retailers can use the Global Payments breach as an impromptu reminder to reassess their fraud prevention efforts. This can be especially important for smaller e-retailers that may take a more hands-off approach and rely on their payment services providers.
If I ran an e-commerce business, I'd start first with an analysis of the fraud rate. Is it acceptable? If not, what can be done about it? What services can the payment provider supply? What can help the business without creating a headache for my customers or me?
If the fraud rate is fine, I'd still evaluate it to ensure that the resources put into keeping it low are not thwarting legitimate sales that get caught up in the anti-fraud measures.
I'd also ask what measures are in place beyond simply meeting the data security standards set by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, commonly known as PCI. PCI compliance is a good starting point, but it's designed to protect the integrity of the payment system, not to assure that a retailer is blocking fraud without turning down good customers.
As a smaller e-retailer, I'd find out if the payment services provider offers tools to help remove sensitive payment card data so my e-commerce system does not store them. Can that be done affordably and without impeding the checkout process?
I'd also ask about any PCI or security fees appearing on my payment processing statement. What really is delivered with those fees? Are they reasonable? Are these fees truly paying for a service that helps my bottom line, or my payment provider's bottom line?
Essentially, I'd ask myself if I am doing everything possible to protect the cash flow my business must have. A company the size of Global Payments, which annually processes 5 billion global transactions, likely will survive this incident. But a smaller e-retailer that suffers a similar breach may not fare as well.

The Greatest of the Greats - Page 2
Race ... The Run for Youth (runforyouth.org), with 5K, 10K and 25K trail options, is held on the Noquemanon Trails in June, with a point-to-point course for the 10K and 25K on the Lower Noquemanon Trail. September's Lake Superior Shoreline Trail Half Marathon & 5K Race Against Tobacco (mqthealth.org/shorerun.htm) is sponsored by Marquette's premier outfitter, Downwind Sports.
"The great thing about the course is that it incorporates Marquette's varied trail styles," says Downwind Sports owner, Bill Thompson. "The race starts off on the shores of Lake Superior, on sandy trails through jack-pine forests. Then it climbs through hardwood forests, around a bog, over Hogback Mountain, then back on the Lakeshore Trail, which treads 100 feet up above Lake Superior."
July's Grand Island Trail Marathon and 10K (greatlakesendurance.com), held 40 miles west in Munising, is run on the ferry-accessible island's shady and breezy singletrack, narrow dirt roads and beaches. Enjoy lake views and the multi-colored sandstone cliffs of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore on this wilderness island.
Best Trails ... "My favorite place is Harlow Lake State Park, which has over 25 miles of trails, some of which are right along Lake Superior," says Connor. "You can run along the shore to a wilderness beach then cross over a road into rolling hills."
The Noquemanon Trail Network, six miles southwest of the city, has a variety of largely singletrack trails. Run the Carp River Loop, with steep climbs that wind around Marquette Mountain Ski Area. Presque Isle Park, commonly called "the island," juts out into Lake Superior five miles north of Marquette. Loop around its two-mile shoreline along rocky red cliffs and pebble beaches, then head inland for five-plus miles amid white birches and hemlocks.
The North Country Trail (NCT) passes through Marquette, loosely taking Superior's coast north of the city. When completed, it will connect seven states and 4600 miles, from New York to North Dakota, making the longest hiking trail in the United States.
