Hurd wins unanimous decision in Upper Marlboro, MD
By Gary "Digital" Williams at ringside
Undefeated junior middleweight prospect "Swift" Jarrett Hurd had two adjustments to make going into his contest Saturday night at the Show Place Arena in Upper Marlboro, MD. After only six contests, the Accokeek, MD native was venturing into his first six-round contest and, because another bout fell through, he would be competing in the main event.
Adding to the situation, Hurd would face one of the more awkward boxers around in Philadelphia, PA's Greg Hackett. Hurd adjusted well in this situation and won a six-round unanimous decision.
"He's a crafty fighter," Hurd said of Hackett. "He's very slick and hard to hit. Just a crafty fighter."
Hurd did achieve a shutout (60-54) on two of the three judges's scorecards. The other scorecard read 59-55. Hurd is now 6-0, three KO's. Hackett is 2-11, one KO.
In the co-feature, Waldorf, MD junior welterweight Mike "Yes, Indeed" Reed needed just 31 seconds to stop Cassius Clay of Las Vegas, NV. Reed landed a left hand to the body that Clay could not recover from. Reed is now 2-0, two KO's while Clay is 0-8.
Junior lightweight Kevin "K-Smoov" Rivers, Jr. of Palmer Park, MD stopped Carlos Alcala of Hillside, IL in the third round. Rivers dropped his opponent twice in the second and then forced the referee to stop the contest at 1:39 of the third. Rivers is now 6-0, five KO's while Alcala was making his pro debut.
Baltimore, MD featherweight Gervonta "Rambo" Davis won by second-round TKO over the debuting Jacob Ninow of Wheaton, IL. Davis d"ropped Ninow with a solid uppercut early in the second and a later flurry stopped the contest at 2:04. Davis is 2-0, two KO's.
Frederick, MD middleweight Devar "The Warrior" Ferhadi won a tough, four-round unanimous decision over PJ Cajigas of Franklin Park, IL Ferhadi made nice adjustments to his game plan against a very game opponent. Ferhadi is now 3-0, two KO's. Cajigas is 0-1-1.
Cruiserweight Mario Murphy of Capitol Heights, MD won a four-round majority decision over Damion Reed of Danville, VA. Murphy showed solid defense throughout the contest. Murphy is 2-0 while Reed is 2-11-1, one KO.
Alexandria, VA junior welterweight "The Baby-Face Assassin" Yurii Polishchuk made his pro debut a successful one with a first-round TKO over the equally-debuting Alexandria boxer Demetrius Winbush. Polishchuk opened the bout with a flurry of punches that dropped Winbush and made the bout pretty easy, eventually stopping Winbush at 2:36 of the contest.
There was another bout slated for the card that did not take place and there is a rather unique story as to the reason given for the bout's cancellation. Indirectly, this reporter may have been part of the reason why the bout was cancelled.
The first bout was slated to feature two debuting heavyweights –Deverine Miner of Capitol Heights, MD and Glenn Thomas of East Stroudsburg, PA. Thomas was originally slated to take on the Ecuadorian heavy Ytalo Perea but Perea had to back out of the fight Miner was a late addition.
Thomas was offered the bout and took it on one condition — that he be put on the "A" side of the card. This means he would be listed as fighting out of the red corner as if he was a hometown boxer. Again, Thomas was slated to fight Miner who actually IS a hometown boxer.
Now, here's where this reporter comes into the picture. When I saw the weights, I did what I normally do — put the hometown or local boxers on the left side or "A" side of the scale watch, regardless of what corner they actually are in. I was unaware of any deal made to the contrary. The scale watch was posted on Fightnews as well as Boxrec, with Thomas on the "B" side.
When Thomas saw this, apparently, he went crazy, leaving nasty messages everywhere (he did not contact me, however) and then backed out of the fight.
After all is said and done, speculation says the real reason the bout is off may be that Miner weighed in at 296 1/2, not to mention he is 6'9″ and Thomas is just 237.
The card was promoted by Keystone Boxing. The matchmaker was Brian Dillon. Henry "Discombobulating" Jones served as ring announcer.

Review by beanmail on November 17, 2010:
- If you are craving Indian food this is not the place for you. If you are afraid of spices, heat, and are looking for healthy food with minimal Indian influence, have at it.
Strike one: The menu is very limited and the waiter was unsure of what items were vegan.
Strike two: No samosas, pakoras, or anything you'd expect to find in an Indian restaurant.
Strike three: no spice, no flavor, no Indian oomph.
The owner was so pleasant that I really, really wanted to like this place. But I really, really didn't.
Review by richa on June 14, 2010:
- it is an amazing place to eat healthy, delicious vegetarian food..
we were 3 friends n had dosas, north indian thali n chaas...
evrything was perfect n the owners are very sweet n caring...
i hope they have open branches throughout NYC and even NY state and then US... i wish them all the best... here's a link to their site http://www.yogiskitchen.com/
Review by Tofulish on June 2, 2010:
- I had lunch here and got the Vegan Thali for $7.99, which was perfect. They have an all you can eat thali for $14.99, but I didn't want to eat that much.
The food was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely - I liked the colors they chose, and the waitstaff was superhelpful and nice. They knew exactly what was and wasn't vegan, and took the time to assure me (without my asking) that there was no ghee in anything. My dessert was vegan and YUMMY.
They are in the process of making it more Ayurvedic, and next month expect to have an Ayurvedic doctor walking around and recommending food for you, along with Ayurvedic pizza - where they pick toppings intended to work with your health issues. It sounds really cool and I definitely plan to go back.
The one thing that I think may hurt them is that there are so many cheap buffets around the area, but they are different in their focus, and I certainly hope they do well.

HP was the first US company to create a joint venture subsidiary in China; three decades later, the vendor has become a major player in the country's consumer and enterprise markets. Among enterprises, HP has strong brand awareness for its server products and services, traditional software solutions, and IT services, but rather less for holistic application life-cycle management (ALM), especially on the mobile side. I think it's time for technology decision-makers and enterprise architects to seriously consider adopting mobile app delivery management solutions and to evaluate HP for that purpose. Here's why:
Posted by Diego Lo Giudice on the Application Development & Delivery Professionals Blog on October 29, 2013
I hear people talking about Agile 2.0 a lot. But when I look at what's happening in the application development and delivery space, I see that many organizations are just now starting to experience Agile's true benefits, and they're not yet leveraging those benefits completely or consistently. So let's stop talking about Agile 2.0 for a moment and instead digest and operationalize what've learned so far. There's plenty to improve upon without getting into inventing new practices and acronyms to add to the Agile transformation backlog!
What I see is that app-dev leaders want to understand how they can optimize existing use of AD&D Agile practices like Scrum, XP, Kanban, improve the practices around the more advanced ones like TDD, continuous testing, CI and CD and leverage all with what they've learned over the years (including waterfall). Scaling the whole thing up in their organization in order to have a bigger and more consistent impact on the business is what their next key goal is. We fielded the 2013 version of our Global Agile Software Application Development Online Survey to find out how. I present and analyze this data in my latest report. The survey addressed common questions that clients ask me frequently get in inquiries and advisory, such as:
Posted by Jeffrey Hammond on the Application Development & Delivery Professionals Blog on September 9, 2011
If you've been reading the research I've been writing over the past year, you know that I'm a fan of implementing an application life-cycle management strategy that focuses on increasing development flow and supports high-performance teams. You don't need to religiously implement all 22 CMMI processes or deliver dozens of intermediate development artifacts like some leading processes advocate. Rather, there are certain important processes that you should spend your time on. We wrote about change-aware continuous integration and just-in-time demand management in last year's Agile Development Management Tools Forrester Wave™. They are two of my favorite areas of focus, and they are great areas to invest in, but once you have them working well, there are other areas that will require your focus. In my opinion, the next process where you should focus on flow is everything that happens post build and preproduction. Most folks think about this process as release management or configuration management, but I think there's a better term that focuses on how quickly software changes move through both processes. It's called continuous delivery. When you focus on establishing a process of continuous delivery, you'll find that your capacity to release changes will increase, your null release cycle will shrink, and a larger proportion of the productivity gains you've seen from your Agile development efforts will flow through into production.

Seattle is well known for its restaurants. Many of these are high profile and easy to find. But there are other places to eat when time or expense is the driving factor; places where anyone can go when it is not an expense-account lunch.
A number of office buildings and employers provide cafeterias to keep the workers in the building and provide a value for lunch. Many of these are open to the public view.
We set out to find and evaluate some of the cafeterias hidden in any of the downtown office buildings. Many of the larger law firms provide cafeterias for their employees, but those are not generally open to the public. Though not as numerous in times past, there are still quite a few public cafeterias to choose from. This article is nothing near an exhaustive list. But we hope we have found some that may offer you a surprise combination of convenience, speed and economy.
Old Standards
Once you are through the metal detectors, the cafeteria on the second floor of the Henry "Scoop" Jackson Federal Building (915 Second Ave) offers a wide variety of food throughout much of the day. The cafeteria is open to the public, building tenants and visitors alike, from 6:30 a.m. through 2 p.m., and serves breakfast and lunch. At lunch, offerings include sandwiches from the deli, pizza, hamburgers and hot dogs from the grill, or the salad bar. The cafeteria is clean and spacious, and a flat-screen TV in the dining area lets viewers catch up on cable news while eating.
Those who worked downtown in the '80s and '90s may recall popular bank cafeterias open to the public in the Rainier Bank and First Interstate towers. Sadly, it appears that there are no longer public cafeterias operating in these locations.
U.S. Bank (1420 Fifth Ave) has a cafeteria on the 13th floor that is open to anyone who can figure out how to get there. Once you get there, you'll find that it is quiet, spacious and acceptable quality for a quick bite at a very reasonable price (daily specials example: ham-and-cheese sandwich with chips, a drink and a cookie for $4.95). They also have soups and pre-made salads.
Bon Appétit runs two cafeterias (e.g., The Dish in the 1700 Seventh Building), one in each of Nordstrom's two office towers. These serve the building occupants from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. with a selection of four daily specials, an appealing salad bar and a make-your-own-sandwich line. You'll find the food is tasty and quite reasonably priced, if you can find your way into the building.
Hidden From View
One of the challenges and charms of exploring for cafeterias is that you often will have no clue they exist in a building. For example, if you don't already know it's there, you are unlikely to happen across the Market Fresh Café on the third floor of Seattle's Medical Dental Building near Olive and Fifth Avenue. But, if you are hungry and happen to find yourself at the final stop of Seattle's South Lake Union Streetcar, you might try out this spot.
The café offers a surprisingly wide variety of choices for what initially appears to be just another espresso bar. On the menu is a variety of burgers, including beef, turkey, salmon and buffalo; teriyaki and yakisoba entrees; several different sandwiches; and protein smoothies. The place may not impress a client, but it is clean, quiet and quite good. You can call ahead to 382-8128 to give the cook a heads-up to start prepping your meal.
Likewise, if you find yourself on the waterfront, it may be worth a quick visit to an unassuming little cafeteria at the Port of Seattle office on Pier 69. Entering the Portside Café near the Victoria Clipper terminal, one is reminded of the cafeterias from the days of old – the plastic chairs, the linoleum floor, the long, silver food bar. The stacked brown trays all have water on them from what can only be an industrial dishwasher without a dryer.
The food is cheap and the cafeteria is open to the public – not just the Port of Seattle employees. But the real value is the view. The cafeteria faces south near the end of the pier, providing a breathtaking view of Puget Sound. The cafeterias of the days of yore never had views like this, making the Portside Café, perhaps, the best view in Seattle where you can eat for less than $5.
Although you get to experience waterfront dining at a bargain price, the adage still applies to some extent: You get what you pay for. Don't expect a marvelous culinary experience, as the Portside's fare is unremarkable in every way. Nothing we tried was actually bad though, and it is hard to go wrong with some of the café's simple offerings, like a turkey-bagel sandwich or grilled cheese. Add some packaged potato chips or a fair salad bar, and a decent cheap lunch is yours.
Depending on the day, the more adventurous might even find a gem in one of the daily entrée specials or soups. Be wary of the cream-based soups after the lunch rush, however, unless you really enjoyed eating paste as a child.
A Surprising Find
The Courthouse Café opened up on the outside of the new federal courthouse nearly five years ago, but maintains a very low profile and it is seldom, if ever, crowded.
Bright, cheery orange walls, blue hanging pendant lights, black-and-white checkerboard accent walls and many, many windows – the Courthouse Café, on the ground floor of the U.S. Courthouse on the corner of Seventh and Virginia is casual and welcoming. While not hidden, it is easy to overlook. A flat-screen TV tuned to a ubiquitous cable station was available and the volume set discreetly so as to not be intrusive. There also are stations with outlets for working on laptops during lunch.
This café is several pleasant cuts above the windowless, drab, utilitarian description usually associated with "cafeteria." The food we tried was hearty and freshly made, if basic and uninspired. The bread on the tuna melt was nicely browned and toasted, not greasy. The sandwich had perhaps a touch too much cheese. Fries were hot, crisp and fresh.
The menu offers a variety of daily specials and hot sandwiches, including a natural Angus burger for $2.49, as well as a salad bar, soups and sandwiches to order. The food quality for the price is a draw, as is the friendly and accommodating staff.
The café serves breakfast, opens at 6:30 a.m. and closes at 2 p.m., with some catering options. Check out the website as well as the associated blog at http://www.uscourthousecafe.com.

Oh Canada, I Was Counting On You
April 17, 2012 at 7:22 PM 2 comments
I used to think of Canada as an open, progressive, forward-looking, nonviolent society who might shine a light that countries like the United States could follow in their darkest hour, but not anymore.
Want a preview of what Republicans want to do to the U.S.? Take a look at what Stephen Harper, the conservative prime minister of Canada is doing:
Scientific research, monitoring and partnerships are disappearing from Environment Canada's budget as part of a multimillion-dollar reduction in spending. Here is a partial list of cuts confirmed by the federal government.
— Emergency disaster response: spending cut by $3.78 million per year. So what if lives are lost?
— United Nations Environment Programme Global Environmental Monitoring System (GEMS)/water. Saves $851,000 per year. Water quality? That's a trivial thing to worry about, huh?
Ugh. It will take me forever to synthesize this; I want to put it up but I'm also making dinner.
So here's the depressing article.
I've got to find the time to post about all the governments that are turning against the interests of their people. It's happening everywhere. The thousand or five thousand or ten thousand humans who control the planet are consolidating their power, repressing their people, and as a result, we and the animals and the birds and the fish and the trees and the flowers and the oceans are going to suffer and, in the end, die.
They're united (call me a conspiracy theorist if you want). They want it all. They don't care about We the People. All they care about is

You certainly have it right. I am hoping that Canada will see what the Conservatives are at heart, but they didn't see it in the last election. They gave the Conservative a majority government. Maybe now they will discover their error — I say they because I didn't vote Conservative.
Well, at least Canada turned down the Fox Network saying, in effect, Fox lies a lot. And don't they still have single-payer health care? Canadian conservatives may be in power, but at least they're not quite as crazy as our own right-wingnuts!

This is a blog I am writing to document my learning on the ways of fighting free radical damage specifically in the area of the mind. Having no formal medical training I am simply using information available to us all. In so doing I hope to further the advancement in the ways of prevention for free radical diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
A bit of my story. Memory science has always peaked my interest. Back in the eighties when very little was known about Alzheimer's type dementia it was fascinating to me what Joan Minnenger had to say about the disease in her 1984 book Total Recall (one of the most popular books on memory of the time). She identified a loss of the substance choline from the brain in AD patients, many years before it was known for certain that the real effect of AD is to erode the very acetylcholine that is essential for neuron functioning.
In 2002 my father died with an acute form of AD, brought on by trauma to his brain. The last time I saw him was 2001 at his care facility in San Bernadino, a long trip from my home in Northern Sonoma County. At this time my interest again was active in studying AD. Particularly because this acute form my dad suffered from is yet another realm of unknown within the AD spectrum. Still today there isn't a clear understanding of how trauma affects the brain differently than non-trauma AD cases.
Now my mother is suffering from the Late Onset form of AD (LOAD) and I am her caretaker. My interest is reinvigorated to the max – so much so I need a place to write down what I'm learning – that's where this blog comes in. With the hope that others may appreciate my task.
My mission is akin to many others certainly- although I do believe my task is limited by a force greater than Nature. Many people who encounter AD do so when their intellect has failed to the extent of eliminating their rational for understanding it. Perhaps this is by subconscious choice in some cases. My mom is a farm girl born and bred with a stubbornness that belongs in Ireland; though she's not Irish she's the most strong willed person I know.
What this means for her, taking pills, is so unreliable a way to medicate that it has to be basically ruled out. There's no way to convince her that a daily regiment is necessary, nor will she take them on anybodies (including doctors) say so. She takes what she wants to take of normal good vitamins and supplements, I might get in one or two of what she really needs beyond that, but no more. Those are the parameters I have to work within. The ironic thing is that my mother has always had the ability to eat: anything. Raising five kids will do that to you apparently. So you will see on this blog how I have crafted food as her medication. It isn't the most complete – but it is The Way – that makes it the best and it is effective.
I am a believer in Natural plant based medications only for this disease, all the best remedies for AD come from Nature. More than just a metaphor, on this blog you will find that flower power has a keen healing role against AD.
The pharmaceutical industry is so corrupt it cannot help many really. But in this case specifically you will see example of example of cases where drugs are being debunked (after billions in sales). Generic forms coming out at ten times the original strength to a massive protest from many consumer groups (because the side-effects from even the original dosage have not been completely identified). So if you feel like me that BigPharma can go take a flying leap and you want a totally alternative way to care for a person with AD, read on.
Most of you reading this know my mother Linda, you may know that her story has been fraught with loss, loss she'd just assume forget. There's plenty of reasons in that loss, along with the technical reasons, for AD. She is not reading this beyond what I might show her of it.
I truly encourage people to add comments, if you do leave me a comment with a message to give to her I will, or if you want to make contact with her I will email you and try to arrange that as she doesn't drive. I am a big believer in the concept in Zen Buddhism known as The Way, every post I put up here has some spiritual significances. You will get many opinions, many heartfelt pleas and a lot of Natural Medicine.
Please note as of March 2013 Linda's phone has been disconnected. The number is now mine which is listed, otherwise just leave a comment below and I will email it to you. Let me know ahead of time and I can likely make it happen.

What are Online Casinos & General Overview
Online casinos are sites that are developed to present players with a way to enjoy cash casino games. While most players will benefit from the cash games, there are also games that are offered for free, presenting a risk free way to enjoy the same types of games that are found in land casinos. When playing in online casinos, players will have access to amazing services, including 24 hour support and multiple payment methods that can be used to conduct casino transactions. These casino sites are a perfect way for any casino fan to enjoy top notch action at home.
Most players who visit these online casinos will want to play the games for cash, which will require them to complete a registration process and choose a banking option. This is a secure process and players will benefit from being protected by the casino. Each UK online casino should be licensed and regulated so as to provide players with the best payers of security when they choose to play any of the cash games that are supported in the site. These casinos will also offer bonuses and promotions that can be beneficial as they will add free cash to the player account and this can be used to play more of the games that are offered.
Benefits of Playing at Online Casinos
There are many benefits to playing in online casinos as opposed to a brick and mortar casino. The first is the convenience players will enjoy. These casinos are always available and will provide 24 hour access to all games and services. Players will never have to waste time traveling to a land casino to fulfill their gambling needs. In online casinos, players will experience a true to life gaming outing as all of the games are designed to replicate those found in live casino settings. With online casinos, players will find that the payouts tend to be higher since these sites do not require the high operating expenses as a land casino. In return, players will generate higher payouts from the games they enjoy.
Online casinos are also safer than land casinos because all transactions are done electronically. This reduces the chances of losing money while walking a casino. Online casino payments are secure and can easily be processed by players all over the world, providing a complete gambling experience right from home. Most UK online casinos are also audited on a regular basis, so players will be sure to have equal chances of winning and access to verified payout percentages.
Cautions About Online Casino Gambling
While online gambling can be a remarkable experience, there are some things that players should be aware of. There are a number of rogue casinos that are trying to operate without a gaming license. These casinos will be designed in the same way as others, so players may not recognise them right away. The first thing any player should do is make sure the chosen site has a valid license to operate. Another concern is the quality of player protection. Online casinos that are licensed will be required by law to protect players to a certain degree. While some casinos will not take this to an additional level, most will. However, players should always make sure that ere are privacy policies in place and that the casino is using secure methods to conduct transactions. Making casino deposits in online casinos is a fast process that is easily done, and this can sometimes lead to overspending. This is one of the disadvantages of online casinos and to avoid any financial problems, players should set a casino budget ebefore they access any of the cash games that are offered.

Brady Center sues Georgia town over gun law
There are 22 comments on the Click2Houston story from May 17, 2013, titled Brady Center sues Georgia town over gun law. In it, Click2Houston reports that:
The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence filed a federal lawsuit Thursday against Nelson, Ga., a small town north of Atlanta.

Here's some evidence the town can use:
Disarming Realities: As Gun Sales Soar, Gun Crimes Plummet
A couple of new studies reveal the gun-control hypesters worst nightmare more people are buying firearms, while firearm-related homicides and suicides are steadily diminishing. What crackpots came up with these conclusions? One set of statistics was compiled by the U.S. Department of Justice. The other was reported by the Pew Research Center.
According to DOJs Bureau of Justice Statistics, U.S. gun-related homicides dropped 39 percent over the course of 18 years, from 18,253 during 1993, to 11,101 in 2011. During the same period, non-fatal firearm crimes decreased even more, a whopping 69 percent. The majority of those declines in both categories occurred during the first 10 years of that time frame. Firearm homicides declined from 1993 to 1999, rose through 2006, and then declined again through 2011. Non-fatal firearm violence declined from 1993 through 2004, then fluctuated in the mid-to-late 2000s.
And where did the bad people who did the shooting get most of their guns? Were those gun show loopholes responsible? Nope....

I almost feel sorry for the maroons at the Brady Center. This battle you waged against the Constitution is lost.....now you're litigating against rural farming communities trying to tell them how it's going to be........sad. Just give up. Heck, I'll take some of you out shooting at the range! What if Annie Oakley said, "guns kill, I better never touch one."

"Right to bear Arms.
"The right of self defence is a natural right, which legislation should aid rather than supersede. By some it is thought that in a well-regulated community individuals should be altogether debarred from what is called "taking the law into their own hands," and that they should in every case, look to the public authorities for protection from injury. It is said that social order is best maintained by the enforcement of such a principle. A standing army is upheld, in order to protect the community from foreign aggression; a police force is maintained, in order to protect individuals from private wrong; and it is argued that the agency of these forces supersedes the necessity of individual effort.
"Undoubtedly the maintenance of social order is an object of paramount importance; but social order itself may be purchased at too dear a rate, if it can only be upheld by extinguishing manly virtues in a population. During the middle ages scenes of violence were of much more frequent occurrence than in modern days, and great evil arose from those breaches of social order; but it cannot be denied that the energies of individual character were by these very disorders developed, in a manner almost unknown to the present generation.
"The right to bear arms is one of those fundamental rights upon which the liberties of a free people rests...."

Richard, when you call people a bonehead you lose all credibility. Isn't the gov telling us we must purchase their health care? You clearly don't understand the subject. No one has to buy a gun in these districts. It is a symbolic law to counter gun prohibition laws. Keep trolling... We eat guys like you for breakfast.
#12 May 19, 2013
Hey Richard...mind if I call you Dick?
Well lets see if you can follow this. The federal government IS making people buy health insurance. If you dont have insurance, you will be penalized with a new tax starting next year.
The law in question that states that all legal adults must own a firearm is symbolic, to give a social middle finger to all the useless anti-gun legislation that is being heaped in piles on everyday, law abiding citizens. It is not enforced, nor is it enforced in other towns with similar laws.
My best guess is that you should wake up and find a clue before you post on subjects you have not got the full story on.
Now turn off the computer, go outside and play a few rounds of hide and go fawk yourself.

Rights of Citizens of the United States.
SPEECH of HON. A. G. THURMAN, OF OHIO.
42d Cong....2d Sess.
"Here is another great right recognized and secured. Again:
""article II.
""A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
"Here is another right of a citizen of the United States, expressly declared to be his right the right to bear arms; and this right, says the Constitution, shall not be infringed. "

A right of the people to bear arms does not convey an authority for government to make people bear arms. Therefore you post is not only illogical, it also points up the fact that your cognitive abilities are questionable at best.

No, more like it points to the fact that you were vague. Which made it difficult to comprehend the meaning of that which you typed. Perhaps you should sharpen your abilities at communication. This will occur more rapidly of course. If you first remove your head from your posterior.

No, more like your knowledge of the country in which you reside is PATHETIC:
Title 10, Subtitle A, Part I, Chapter 13,§ 311
Militia: composition and classes
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are -
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are NOT members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.
The "militia" is for the "COMMON defense". It's not a "right", it IS a DUTY.
The right to keep and bear arms is corollary to the right of SELF DEFENSE. Which is a preexisting NATURAL right. And is the DUTY of each and every free person to provide for themselves. Of which, there is ample court rulings which make this ABUNDANTLY clear. For the government has NO duty or obligation to provide for the defense of the individual.
Take a hike.

"This meeting being adjourned from 8th to the 10th, the following preamble and resolutions were read and adopted:
"Fellow Citizens--Once more we engaged in a war with a powerful nation.
"The ocean is denied to us; our waters violated; our land is invaded; hostile threaten to convert our habitations to heaps of ruins.
"We are called upon to save our possessions from spoil and destruction; to secure persons from slavery and death; to protect our families against outrage and violence; guard our institutions from assault and overthrow; to defend by freeborn valour our dear-bought independence.
"The lawful authorities, aware of this condition of things, have made provision to it. The national government has our security by fortification, troops, and floating force. The state has extended care, and caused other works of defence to erected. The common council of the city has laboured to insure our safety. It only remains that the sons of liberty come forth in their might, and demonstrate that in a contest for all that is near and dear to them, they are invincible.
"Our regular regiments are already at their stations. The organized militia will them on the shortest summons. The several corps of volunteers are inflamed with patriotic ardour. To these bands, other military associations will be added, composed those who enjoy honourable exemptions from ordinary service, but who will come forward on this trying occasion.
"This meeting is called for the purpose enabling us to renew our pledge to support the constitution; to invigorate the laws; to aid with our best efforts the administration of our beloved country; to see that it be not approached by spies and emissaries; to defend the great interests of the union with our treasure and our blood.
"It is our glory and our boast that we are freemen. Our constitution and government are acts of free and unbiased choice. They are ours and we will never abandon them.
"The citizens are the safeguards of a free state. Their right to keep and bear arms has never been infringed. We will use these weapons resolutely in support of our privileges; with these we will manfully oppose the enemy who shall presume to invade them...."

Salfacorp Gains Most in Year After Profit Rises: Santiago Mover
Salfacorp SA (SALFACOR), Chile's biggest construction and engineering company, posted its best four-day rally in a year after a jump in profit allayed concern about debt levels.
Salfacorp rose 4.6 percent to 1,010 pesos at 1:19 p.m. in Santiago, bringing the gain over the past four trading sessions to 13 percent, the biggest since August 2011.
Second-quarter net income rose 13 percent from a year earlier to 4.12 billion pesos ($8.6 million), led by real-estate sales, the company reported Aug. 29 after the close of trading. Before the announcement, Salfacorp had been the worst performer among members of the Ipsa stock index in the past 12 months, with a 43 percent drop.
"There was uncertainty on how the company was going to perform and its second-quarter results dispelled that," Javier Gunther, an analyst at Santiago-based brokerage IM Trust, said in a phone interview. "Salfacorp also showed an improvement in leverage ratios."
Salfacorp's ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda, over net financial costs rose to 3.22 times at the end of the second quarter from 3.05 times at the end of the previous quarter, according to filings sent to Chile's securities regulator. Bond covenants require Salfacorp to keep a ratio of at least 3 times.
Fitch Ratings cut its rating for Salfacorp to BBB from BBB- in April, citing an increase in debt levels due to recent acquisitions. Santiago-based brokerage Celfin Capital said Aug. 31 that Salfacorp's underperformance created a buying opportunity and "compelling entry point."

Reviews of this property
Our stay in this appartment was perfect! Clean, cute, perfectly situated, close to École Militaire metro stop, bars&restaurants, and grocery stores. Jérémy was kind and helpful, he even let us leave our luggage until late during the last day. The only problem we found is the bathroom no-door situation. Having a curtain replacing a door, especially in a bathroom, is really awkward. But the rest was all ok! I totally recommend it.
great central location, nicely furnished apartment, good coordination with the staff, timely handover of the apartment; at the handover you could have to point out the various gimmicks of doorways
super zentrale Lage, schön eingerichtete Wohnung, gute Koordination mit dem Gastgeber, pünktliche Übergabe der Wohnung; bei der Übergabe hätte man noch auf die diversen Kniffs der Türöffnungen hinweisen können
Apartment very well located 10 minutes walk from the Eiffel Tower and Orsay Museum 25. The apartment is in good conditions have a good bed. Highly recommended for couples or families with small children.
Piso muy bien situado a 10min andando de la Torre Eiffel y a 25 del Museo de Orsay. El piso esta en buenas condicones con una buena cama de matrimonio. Muy recomendable para parejas o familias con ninos pequeños.
My friends and I enjoyed our time at Jeremy's apartment. It's centrally located, close to the metro and a short walk to the RER. The area is really quiet and the apartment is very secure. For four, there was still plenty of space, and the kitchen gave us extra space to use as a group. Only downsides are that the bathroom doesn't have a proper door - definitely a necessary addition, and simple maintainence wasn't done - the shower flooded and we had to unclog the drain. Other than that, I would definitely recommend staying here when in Paris.
Good location, nice apartment. Wifi would be included but we received no ransom despite several reminders via voicemail ...
Bra läge, fräsch lägenhet. Wifi skulle ingå men vi fick inget lösen trots flera påminnelser via mobilsvar...
Appartement in bester Lage mit Blick auf die Spitze des Eifelturms. Bis zum Wahrzeichen der Stadt ca 5 min Fußweg.
Die Straße, in der die Wohnung liegt ist traumhaft. Kleine Cafes, kleine Botiquen, Bäckereien und Lebensmittelläden.
Wir haben 4 wundervolle, romanische Tage hier verbringen dürfen und konnten durch das Apartment Paris hautnah erleben.
Das einzige Manko ist eine fehlende Tür zum Badezimmer, welche einen dann doch dazu verleitet, Geheimnisse zu lüften, die gern verborgen bleiben :-)
Reviews for this host's other properties
Lovely little apartment in a fantastic location. Very quiet side street which was good, and it wasn't too hot despite the fact that Paris was sweltering. High enough up to be able to leave the windows open overnight. Some of the instructions - e.g. How to get rid of the rubbish - were out of date and there was a bit of confusion about picking the key up but it worked out in the end and otherwise was an absolutely super place for anyone spending time in the Latin Quarter. I'd stay there again.
Beautiful apartment in a great central location! It has everything you need and is the perfect size. The bed is very comfortable and I love the apartment's quirky and clean decor. My only critique is that the shower drain was quite blocked and so the water would fill up quickly at the bottom, and the water would sometimes change temperature... But this was not a big deal to us. :) <3

What Is HDL and LDL Cholesterol?
Video Topic : This video explains the difference between HDL and LDL cholesterol. It also reveals what may occur when there are high levels of LDL in the body.
LDL may stick to an artery's inner wall causing the build up of plaque, affecting blood flow. When an artery stiffens and constricts, aneurysm, heart attack, and stroke can occur.
What Is Cholesterol?
To understand high blood cholesterol (ko-LES-ter-ol), it helps to learn about cholesterol. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that's found in all cells of the body.
Your body needs some cholesterol to make hormones, vitamin D, and substances that help you digest foods. Your body makes all the cholesterol it needs. However, cholesterol also is found in some of the foods you eat.
Cholesterol travels through your bloodstream in small packages called lipoproteins (lip-o-PRO-teens). These packages are made of fat (lipid) on the inside and proteins on the outside.
Two kinds of lipoproteins carry cholesterol throughout your body: low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Having healthy levels of both types of lipoproteins is important.
LDL cholesterol sometimes is called "bad" cholesterol. A high LDL level leads to a buildup of cholesterol in your arteries. (Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood from your heart to your body.)
HDL cholesterol sometimes is called "good" cholesterol. This is because it carries cholesterol from other parts of your body back to your liver. Your liver removes the cholesterol from your body.
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute
Also called: HDL, Hypercholesterolemia, Hyperlipidemia, Hyperlipoproteinemia, LDL
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that occurs naturally in all parts of the body. Your body needs some cholesterol to work properly. But if you have too much in your blood, it can combine with other substances in the blood and stick to the walls of your arteries. This is called plaque. Plaque can narrow your arteries or even block them.
High levels of cholesterol in the blood can increase your risk of heart disease. Your cholesterol levels tend to rise as you get older. There are usually no signs or symptoms that you have high blood cholesterol, but it can be detected with a blood test. You are likely to have high cholesterol if members of your family have it, if you are overweight or if you eat a lot of fatty foods.
You can lower your cholesterol by exercising more and eating more fruits and vegetables. You also may need to take medicine to lower your cholesterol.

Although the decision has been a hard one for the town to take, it should now tolerate him, mixing decency with sensible vigilance.
Stewart Murray Wilson is now free, or as free as anybody can be when obliged to live on the perimeter of a prison, accompanied everywhere for his own safety and wear a tracking device at all times. Wanganui has done its utmost to make him unwelcome and he is likely to be recognised wherever he goes.
All things considered, he might be better off in prison where he has been for 18 years, has become accustomed to its routine and probably has more company than he will find on the outside. The circumstances of his parole are such that he could easily transgress and be recalled any time.
But there must be a chance he can defy the odds against rehabilitation. Wilson was 47 when he went to prison and is now 65, not old by modern life expectancy but well past his prime. The rate of recidivism for sex offenders is said to fall sharply for those aged 60 or more. He might spend the rest of his life as a harmless pensioner.
For his and Wanganui's sake, we hope so.
The town was chosen for him by the Department of Corrections because it is small and none of his crimes was committed there. Women and children elsewhere who were victims of his 25 years of offending are unlikely to have to see him again. But it is hard on Wanganui that it had no choice in the matter, no chance even to be consulted before the decision was made.
The town had its day in court this week and predictably its case failed. When Wilson was taken from Christchurch to prepare for release, any possibility that Corrections had a "plan B" disappeared. That was surprising in view of the outcry from Wanganui. The department usually goes to some trouble to release prisoners quietly and revises plans in their best interest when word leaks and causes public alarm.
That it has proceeded in the face of this hue and cry suggests the department does not think the community will be safe from Wilson unless it is alarmed. The public has been told that during 18 years in prison he has never acknowledged his crimes and has refused to co-operate with treatment plans, and that a psychologist who interviewed him for the Parole Board last year found him "evasive, litigious, solicitous, ingratiating, threatening and intimidating". Anyone with an urge to help him needs to be aware of those words.
But it might be time for Wanganui's civic leaders to raise the community's sights. Nothing is to be gained by refusing him entry to shops and public places, if the law permits such persecution. He has served more than the two-thirds of a sentence that serious offenders usually serve before being considered for parole. His failure to show any remorse does not augur well for the future but he has done his time and deserves a chance.
If Wanganui gives him that chance, tolerates him and treats him decently, it will be able to take pride in itself. Justice required that he be released sometime. Now that it has happened Wanganui needs to mix vigilance with decency. It might be more than his record deserves but everyone who emerges from prison needs another chance. If he responds to it, everyone will be safer.

MS1 – An Overview
· Your ten months will be divided into three portions:
o POM (Professions of Medicine)
o Block I
o Block II
· The goal of this guide is to reduce your med school anxiety by showing it's manageable when tackled in a piecemeal fashion.
· At the end of this list, there is also a list of restaurants, bars, and other fun places to go out when all this med school stuff requires you to go blow off some steam J
· Books
o Mosby's Guide to Physical Examination
§ While this book is suggested for the patient encounters and for Physical Diagnosis I (PD), which comes later in Block I and II, it really wasn't beneficial to students. The bottom line is that test questions for PD come from the powerpoints that Dr. Schrot posts and from this text.
· Course Setup
o M-F 8-5 for 2 weeks
o Includes…
§ Administrative (filling out forms)
§ Faculty Lectures
ú Topics range from the "super case" for POM to medical professionalism to Evidence Based Medicine
§ Presentation Work Time
§ Student Organization Presentations
§ How To Do Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) Research
ú It's what it sounds like. Essentially, you learn how to make full use of the electronic resources available to you as a USF medical student.
ú PAY ATTENTION! You'll need this knowledge when you do Molecular Medicine group presentations.
§ Patient Encounters
ú Dress in business attire for these
ú You won't be expected to know much at this point so don't freak out if you don't know how to do an anterior drawer test or how to check for JVD. It's to be expected since you've only been in med school for a few days.
ú The theme to your patient encounter will usually reflect what you are doing in POM (plus a cardiovascular session).
§ Basic Life Support Training
§ White Coat Ceremony
ú Have your friends and family come to this event, which truly signifies the beginning of your medical journey.
· Grading
o 1 Presentation
· Final Thoughts
o POM is structured to be a low stress introduction to medical school, but it's up to you to make that happen. Enjoy this time by going out to 12 PAC events, meeting new people in your class, and talking to your friendly Class of 2012.
o Just be professional regarding the presentation and everything will fine.
o I can't stress it enough: use this time to get to know others. That is the most important thing you can do during POM.
o GO TO THE Bull Run!
Block I
· Molecular Medicine
o Books
§ While the faculty recommends Textbook of Biochemistry 5th Edition by T.M. Devlin, Wiley-Liss and Lippincott Human Molecular Genetics 3 by T. Strachan & A.P., these books aren't really necessary as all you really need are the powerpoints and some good notes.
§ If you do have trouble understanding something, High-Yield Biochemistry is a very thin and easy to understand review book that makes the information presented by professors more palatable to the brain. Also BRS Biochemistry is a book from a great company. A few people used it and liked it.
o Course Set Up
§ Includes…
ú Genetics
ú Metabolic Pathways
· Glycolysis
· TCA Cycle, a tried and true friend

· Urea Cycle
· Amino Acids
· Fat Metabolism
· Cholesterol
ú Proteins
ú Also, a group presentation
· You will randomly be put in a group of six and be given a disease, which you will research and present a powerpoint presentation of no more than 30 minutes (You can go a couple minutes over and it be a big deal). 10 minutes of questions from faculty and students.
· Get students to ask you a lot of questions so that faculty have less time to interrogate. The faculty will ask really tough questions in order to fluster you and see what your reaction is to a question you can't answer.
· Use the librarians to help with research. That's what they do… and they're pretty good at it.
· Make sure you're done with the presentation (information gathering and slide creation) about a day or two before you must turn it into education affairs. You'll need this time to cut out excess slides to make sure you're within the time limit for the real thing.
· It's better to put less information than more on the slide since this leaves you less open to more pointed questions, but make sure you're prepared for pointed questions by doing the research. This is all about defensive presenting.
o Grading
§ 1 Group Presentation
§ 3 Unit Tests
§ 1 Cumulative Final
o Final Thoughts
§ Regarding the tests, make sure you sure understand the following:
ú Rate-limiting steps
ú Which enzyme catalyzes the rate-limiting step
ú What happens when you mess up the rate-limiting step
· Subsequently, auxiliary pathways
ú Genetic diseases associated with particular points in pathways
ú For specific professors, the summaries are great place to look for potential test topics… for other professors, not so much. You'll realize this by the length of the summary.
ú There will be histology on the test. Know the type of tissue (muscle, neuronal, connective, and epithelial) and their sub- specializations. Also, know the cell types for each slide.
§ Relying on strictly on your notes and maybe a High-Yield Biochemistry review book is all you really need to do well in the course.
§ You will have a cumulative final. Memorize the RLS's you've encountered throughout the year and the different genetic diseases you've seen in the lectures. Also, study the genetic and biochemistry portions of the student presentations since that will be included in the exam.
§ Most importantly: study the powerpoints!!! The powerpoints are where the test questions come from.
· Ethics and Humanities
o Humanities
§ Books
ú On Doctoring. This will be given out for free during the white coat ceremony.
ú Whatever book you were told to read during the summer.
§ Course Set Up
ú Includes…
· Reading stories from On Doctoring.
· Reading the summer mystery book.
· A trip to the art museum on campus and a paper on a work of art you found to be fascinating.
· Random assignments. Seriously, just a menagerie of assignments that aren't hard, but you must do.
§ Grading
ú None last year
§ Final Thoughts
ú This Course is…. Well difficult to put into words. Just show up. It's pass/fail and attendance is required. It's really that easy.
ú This class gets way better towards the end of the year so if you really hate it just hang in there. It gets better.
o Ethics
§ Books
ú None
§ Course Set Up
ú Includes…
· Ethical case discussions
· Watching movies on ethical case discussions
· Reading about ethical case discussions.
· Not much else.
§ Grading
ú none
§ Final Thoughts
ú This course is also difficult to put into words. It is lumped with humanities under the course title "on doctoring." Like humanities, it's pass/fail and attendance is required. So show up, answer questions, and keep your eyes on the prize (the prize being that the course gets exponentially better ½ way through the year)
· Physical Diagnosis
o Books
§ Mosby's
ú Please look at what has been said above in the POM section
o Course Set Up
§ For every test, there are 1-2 physical diagnosis sessions that will go over a particular system or region of human anatomy (i.e. – Pulmonary, Musculoskeletal, Head, Ears, Nose and Throat).
§ A power point will be posted by Stephanie Peters that has all the information that you need to know for the exam and patient-encounter.
§ Patient- Encounter Sessions are two hours:
ú First Hour is devoted to a group session which you will be instructed on what specific techniques you need to know. These sessions are very good in covering in what you need to know for the second hour
ú Second hour gives you an opportunity to demonstrate what you learned in the previous session on a standardize patient. You will be put in groups of four to a room and each of you will get a chance to perform the proper examination for that session with a preceptor (usually a 4th year) guiding you along the way.
ú This sessions get changed around so what is described above may change for yall this year.
o Grading
§ 8 written exams
§ 1 history and write up
§ 1 complete neurological exam and write up
§ 1 communications session
§ A plethora of patient-encounters (individually, these sessions are worth a minute bit of your grade and everyone gets a 100 for them).
o Final Thoughts
§ The videos in Dr. Schrot's power points are not always that helpful since they will sometimes conflict with what is taught by Dr. Schrot and the preceptors who are grading you.
§ For the most part, the patient-encounters are very low key. Just do what you learned from the previous hour (and the Mosby videos from the ppt's that are loaded by Dr. Schrot if you watched them) and you'll be fine.
§ If you have a patient encounter you will probably need to dress up and wear your white coat with business attire. Some sessions are casual. Just keep an eye on that.
§ For the tests, memorize the power points and pay attention during the group sessions. Do this 1-2 days before the exam.
§ Make sure you bring all of your tools for the tool inspection session. I know it's dumb and not worth anything, but it'll frustrate you if you don't.
§ For the NBME final, study the most common physical diagnosis sections of each system from a Mosby's (you can get it in the library) and study the First Aid. You should tear it up.
§ Practice the full neurological exam and make sure that you finish it within 30 minutes. Even if you know how to conduct the rest of the exam, the preceptor won't let you finish it if you go over time.
Block II
· Anatomy
o Books
§ Anatomy has the most variety in terms of literary resources from which one can call upon during test time.
§ Here's the pool of books that almost everyone used to some extent throughout the year:
ú Netter's***
· This atlas is full of illustrations that clearly show where things should be in the body. Now, whether it looks like it is another story considering that your bodies will become desiccated over the course of the year.
· Extremely useful for muscles and bones
· There are flashcards as well that go perfectly along with the musculoskeletal system since it gives attachments and function
· You will use this book a lot so it's one of the few books that everyone got
ú Grey's Anatomy
· Some people got this to read. It was helpful for some and not for others. You'll see a lot of people carrying theirs around at the very beginning of anatomy and towards the end of the year people taper off in using it.
ú Rohen's Photo Atlas
· This atlas is like Netter's but with photos of cadaver parts.
· For some systems and structures on the practical list (to be explained later…) is extremely useful.
· They close the cadaver lab a few days before the test so if you want to review cadaver stuff this is the place to look.
o Course Set Up
§ Anatomy, of course, covers all the major systems: musculoskeletal, nervous, circulatory, endocrine, pulmonary, reproductive, and renal.
§ You are tested by a written exam with all of your other subjects and a lab practical, which you must identify a structure in one minute for however many structures that are tagged in the anatomy lab. They won't test all of the structures but usually between 70-80.
§ The majority of the class lectures are taught by Dr. Orhan Arslan. Knowing his testing style is of the utmost importance.
§ GO to Dr. Arslan's reviews. You will get a good sense of what is important to him as well as a test question or two.
§ You will usually spend about 2-4 hours of required lab time doing dissections in the anatomy lab each week. Some weeks you'll spend what seems like days in the lab. Other weeks you'll go to lab for 20 minutes. It just depends on what test it is.
§ Go ahead and plan on spending a huge amount of time in the lab for 3 systems: musculoskeletal, nervous, and circulatory. There are A LOT of muscles, nerves, and arteries/veins in your bodies. It's going to take some time to get those down.
§ Histology
ú is also included and taught mostly by Dr. Muffly with clean up by Dr. Wiranowska.
ú You must be able to identify particular structures at a microscopic level (i.e. – islets of langerhan or d cells), determine from what tissue they originate, and what they do.
ú The first two tasks are tested by the lab practical where you will have a picture of a slide and must answer either of those two questions. The third question is usually asked on the written exam
§ Embryo is the final piece of the anatomy puzzle. Everyone seemed to be dissatisfied with it last year so they'll probably change it for yall this year.
o Grading
§ Half of an exam grade comes from the written exam. The practical makes up the other half.
§ 7 exams
§ 1 NBME final
o Final Thoughts
§ Of all the courses, it is Anatomy that has the most contact hours and, therefore, the most weight of the first year curriculum.
§ During dissection, definitely ask questions. Dr. Arslan is a great resource for helping you figure out where some of the more nebulous structures are hidden.
§ There's a lot of extra stuff in the lab guide. The only thing you are responsible for is the structure list posted on blackboard. Once you get to more visceral structures such as pulmonary and endocrine, just find the structures as efficiently as possible.
§ Be able to identify structures in multiple bodies since they will use this for the practical.
§ Definitely go to the practice practicals right before the test. It's useful since you learn how Dr. Arslan wants you to identify based on the position of the tag. Also, many of the tags from the practice practical stay the same for the real thing. Finally, by going into the lab with a lot of other people looking at bodies, you definitely learn tricks from other people when it comes to identifying.
§ For the written tests, the most high-yield thing that you can study are the clinical correlations with the anatomy. These represent about 70-80% of all Arslan questions. In addition, you'll see these things again on the NBME shelf and USMLE Step 1 so definitely learn them!
§ The rest of the Arslan questions relate to the orientation of anatomy structures to other structures (ex – At what level is the kidney? A – T11. Or what would find in the right 5th intercostal space? A – liver.
§ Histo written questions can certainly be difficult… especially for Dr. Muffly. He usually asks very extraneous things, but there is some pattern. First of all take good notes. Second, if in your notes you notice that there is a list of things, then know it! Know what the different cells consist of. Also, if there are layers of cells, that would be good to know.
§ There aren't many surprises for anatomy. What you see is what you get.
· Imaging
o Books
§ None
o Course Set Up
§ A radiologist will come a show you CT scans, MRIs, and x-rays of different systems
§ This course is integrated with anatomy. You will be tested on the practical portion of the exam (you walk into the cadaver lab and they have x ray boxes where they put up hard copies of plain films, mri scans, ct scans, angiograms, etc and you have to identify structures)
§ This is actually pretty easy. If you know the anatomy and you look at the imaging power points then you should have no problem
o Grading
§ Questions are integrated into the practical examination
o Final Thoughts
§ The power points usually have blank arrows pointing to structures and then give you the answers at the end.
§ Many of us simply just reviewed the power point about 1-2 days before the exam. This turned out to be enough to get a perfect score for many people.
· Colloquium
o Books
§ None
o Course Set Up
§ Different speakers will introduce you to different topics at 8 in the morn. Your sole job is to sit there respectfully and listen to what they have to say.
o Grading
§ Pass/Fail
§ Just make sure you attend and that you're not late.
o Final Thoughts
§ Just go!
§ Everyone gets confused. They sometimes call this class "on doctoring" so if you have to go to on doctoring the 2nd block then this is the same thing.
o Books
§ None
o Course Set Up
§ You will be paired with a preceptor from across Tampa Bay
§ Your only task is to shadow them and present a case that you came across to your small group which meets every two weeks
§ You'll end up presenting about once a year
o Grading
§ Pass/Fail
o Final Thoughts
§ Don't skip LCE unless you want to be kicked out of med school
§ If you don't like your preceptor at first then be patient. Almost everyone ends up really enjoying their LCE by the end of the year
· Behavioral Medicine
o Books
§ None
o Course Set Up
§ The new course director, Dr Stock, is not quite as nice as the previous guy. you'll meet him. He comes to class to give quizzes. He's really funny.
§ It's not a bad course. Lots of guest lecturers (as opposed to anatomy that has a lot of the same lecturers every test)
o Grading
§ 4 exams
§ Each exam worth nearly 20% with a cumulative final at the end worth 20%
§ Questions are integrated into 4 of the tests throughout the year
o Final Thoughts
§ Like every other class…study the power points!
· Neuroscience
o Books
§ Medical Physiology by Guyton and Hall
ú This book is one that is suggested for physiology. It contains a lot of neurophysiology, and some of its chapters matched the lecture perfectly. If you're dying to buy a book why not buy one that is good for 2 classes…
§ BRS Neuroanatomy
ú Its BRS so if you're a fan of BRS then you'll like it. It has practice questions that are good for understanding certain concepts
o Course Set Up
§ For the entire block, you'll go over the following:
ú Anterolateral Tract
ú Lemniscal Tract
ú Cranial Nerves I-XII
ú Cerebellum
ú Cerebral Cortex
ú Blood Supply to the brain
ú Clinical correlations to the anatomy
o Grading
§ Seven exams
§ NBME Final
o Final Thoughts
§ For a lot of people, this was their most difficult course
§ Essentially, you'll become a better multiple choice test taker after doing neuro but here are some tips:
· Usually the question asks where is the lesion? To answer it, figure out what the patient is presenting with. Then figure out what system is affected. Then determine which side is affected and whether the system in question is ipsilaterally wired or contralaterally wired. This may not make sense, but it will once you start the course.
· Read all the answer choices. Sometimes the only way to figure it out is by eliminating all the answers rather picking the right one. This may sound dumb, but there are a lot of questions like that on his exams.
ú There's no right way to study for neuro. Some people make study guides using books. Others just use notes plus a BRS or High-Yield. Some people just study the power points, but it may not be enough.
· Physiology
ú Many people thought this was the most well taught class of first year
o Books
§ Medical Physiology by Guyton and Hall
ú Some students refer to this book as the "bible of physiology." If you don't know the story of Guyton it's a good one. He was a Harvard Trained Neurosurgeon who got Polio and dictated this textbook. This textbook is the gold standard at many schools (not usf. It's just a "suggested" text here). The chapters are short and easy to read. The information is easy to grasp. If you feel the need to buy a textbook for physiology then this is it. You can also use it for Neuroscience.
§ BRS Physiology
ú The most important resource you can buy. Covers everything that you'll be doing throughout the year. Definitely get this.
o Course Set Up
§ You'll be covering endocrine, renal, pulmonary, cardiovascular, digestive, nervous, and muscle physiology.
§ Taught by all sorts of teachers
§ You will also have a case discussion meetings with ten other students where you will discuss case questions over a topic relating to test material
§ Dr Tigno, the course director is great. She send out practice questions. DO THEM. Sometimes they are on the tests.
o Grading
§ Exams
§ NBME Shelf
§ Case Discussions
o Final thoughts
§ Without a doubt, beware of the cardiovascular physio exam. It is the most difficult of all the topics you'll be covering throughout the year and the questions are not very straightforward
§ Definitely use outside sources (BRS) for this course. The lectures aren't always the best in quality and the BRS will break it down.

Copyright violation: Software giant Adobe lodges police complaint
Indore: Software giant Adobe Systems Incorporated on Tuesday filed an FIR with the police alleging copyright violation by a photo studio for using unlicensed photoshop software in Pardeshipura area.
Pardeshipura police along with some officials from Adobe raided a studio and seized four CPUs in the morning.
Pardeshipura TI Sudheer Das said, "Three persons from Adobe came to police station alleging copyright violation by Janta photo studio in our area." So, we raided the studio and seized four CPUs, he added.
TI Sudheer Das said, "The CPUs were verified by the company officials in the police station and it was found that they are using pirated versions of the software."
An advocate representing Adobe and two officials from the company's Delhi office came to the city to clamp down on those using pirated version of company software.
Indore photographers and videographers' association president Sachin Gupta said, "The company officials had 14-page full of names of photo studios in Indore and Bhopal, who they said are violating copyright of the company." These big companies are targeting small businesses intentionally, he added.
Sources from the Adobe said, "This is company's anti-piracy drive to tell people that the use of unlicensed software programs by businesses is a copyright violation and can lead to a number of negative consequences." The quality of pictures goes down, ultimately the consumer loses, he added.
Adobe produces software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, In Design, Dreamweaver, Pagemaker etc. The cost each software ranges from Rs 60,000 to Rs 2,00,000. The magnitude of loss to company runs into millions of dollars across the globe, he said.
Last week M/s Ultra Distributors Pvt. Ltd and Shemaroo Entertainment Ltd. have filed similar complaints of copyright violation against business playing their music without obtaining licenses.
Police said they have registered a case under section 63 of copyright violation act.

4 Cores and mores
Subject: Processors | February 26, 2007 - 06:31 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The Inquirer is pitting a 4 core Xeon against a 8 Core. Now this may seem like a waste of time, as the 8 core will do better than the 4, but it is all a matter of scaling. Can an octuple core perform twice as well? Is it better to split a task between 2 quad core machines?
Or it may be just so they can post a Sandra MultiMedia instruction benchmark of 573,631.

The Tech Report features a look at the 80 core processor unveiled by Intel at the ISSC. This chip will never hit the stores, but you can bet one of it's descendants will. One of the more interesting features is it's scalability ... if you feed it only 11W it will run at 310 gigaFLOPS which is still well into supercomputer territory. However, if you give it a full meal of 98W it will hit 1.0 teraFLOP, which is definitely something to brag about.

HotHardware reviews AMD's A64 X2 series based on the 65nm Brisbane core. With 4 different socket AM2 processors, running from 2.1 to 2.6GHz and sporting 153.8 million transistors it sounds like a great replacement for the Windsor core. Although the Brisbane does run a little slower than a Windsor at the same speed, it also uses less power which reinforces AMD's desire for efficiency and getting more work per watt.
Penryn Ho! The attack of the incredible shrinking core

Sometime in the second half of 2007, we should begin to see the new 45nm Penryn Dual Cores appear in reviews, if not the marketplace. Sometime after that the Quads should start coming out. Thanks to a new high-k material, Intel has doubled transistor counts again. When talking about 'k', they are referring to a materials ability to hold charge, and [H]ard|OCP has a lot to say about it.
Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Processor for Sale @ Newegg

This tip just made it into my mail box... Newegg is selling an OEM Athlon X2 6000+ processor that runs at 3.0 GHz, the same speed as the top Athlon FX processors using the 1207-pin Socket F. It is still a 90nm processor, but should be damn fast.
A Core 2 Duo that OCs like a Celeron

The new E4300 is essentially an E6300 without Intel's Virtualization Technology, and a slightly slower clock speed ... 1.8 GHz versus 1.86. However, with a reasonably efficient air cooler it can reach 3.47GHz, which is pretty reasonable for a $130 dollar processor. The bad news right now is that the only places you will find it for sale have it priced about $10 less than the E6300, so it isn't worth buying ...
