Estimation of Sri Aurobindo fluctuates
[Foreword by Ken Wilber: A Greater Psychology: An Introduction to the Psychological Thought of Sri Aurobindo, edited by A. S. Dalal.
It wasn't that other great thinkers had not seen that evolution is basically Spirit-in-action (it was obvious to Schelling and Hegel, for example). Nor was Aurobindo necessarily the most enlightened spirit in modern
(many would point to the illustrious Sri Ramana Maharshi in that regard). 9:47 AM] India
[Columbia University Press » Blog Archive » Getting beyond the ... The following post is by Peter Heehs, author of The Lives of Sri Aurobindo August 4th, 2008 at 10:43 am
There is general agreement among students of religion that Aurobindo was a remarkable mystic, but few are willing to swallow the claim of some of his followers that he was an avatar, like
Krishna, Chaitanya or Christ…
What about the assertion that Aurobindo was an avatar? I can't say that the question interests me very much. Aurobindo never claimed the distinction for himself, and I don't think anyone alive is in a position to say one way or the other.]
[IY Fundamentalism - Letter to the Managing Trustee, from Peter Heehs
25 September 2008 Dear Manoj-da,
I decided to write about Sri Aurobindo, first, because I find him tremendously interesting. I won't go any farther than this.]
(By the by, Peter is the first biographer to speculate, albeit briefly, about the nature of Sri Aurobindo's sexual experience.)]
An individual's estimation of Sri Aurobindo is obviously subjective that evolves/fluctuates throughout the life. Expecting a fixed countenance, therefore, is unfair. It is, however, desirable that one is candid about such feelings without hoodwinking others or institutions. [TNM]

Aurobindo, like most accomplished adepts, elude description. The Master has said very clearly that my life is not visible.. it is a consciousness that requires WORK to be established. The work of which he was an integral part, was continued by the Mother. That is an ocean of knowledge that requires YEARS of study.. "A few shall see what none yet understands.. god shall grow up while the wise men talk and sleep.. and belief shall be not till the work is done.. :-)ReplyDelete

Jeffrey Walter Wilson
Jeffrey W. Wilson, CEO/Founder of the Cattle Baron Restaurants, Inc. of Roswell, N.M., passed away on Dec. 5, 2010, at Roswell Regional Hospital. Cattle Baron Restaurants, Inc. was founded in Portales, N.M., in 1976.
Today there are eight Cattle Baron Restaurants operating throughout New Mexico and Texas — including Roswell, N.M., the home of the company's corporate headquarters. In addition, Jeff founded Farley's Food, Fun, and Pub; and Tia Juana's Mexican Grill and Cantina.
Currently Farley's serves the cities of Ruidoso, Roswell and Las Cruces; and, Tia Juana's [auth] operates in Roswell and Hobbs. Jeff also developed Santino's Italian Restaurant in Ruidoso. In 2004 Jeff purchased Tinnie Silver Dollar Restaurant in Tinnie, N.M., and in 2006 The Snazzy Pig BBQ in Roswell. In 2009, Jeff acquired the Pasta Café in Roswell.
Jeff always said that the essential ingredients to his success was, "a great menu and great service in a great setting — all for an enormous value.†More importantly, Jeff firmly believed that it was the people — "the team†— that really made the difference to Cattle Baron's success. The Corporation employs more than 800 people. Jeff also supported the local communities where the restaurants are located. In the Roswell area, Jeff championed The Assurance Home for Children, as well as the Roswell Refuge for Battered Adults, and the FFA and 4H in Roosevelt and Chaves counties.
Jeff also owned the Wilson Ranch LLC in New Mexico and the Cattle Baron Ranch LLC which owns a ranch in Texas. These ranches supported a passion of his; running functional ranches with cattle and horses which benefited those who Jeff called "God's children.†Jeff had a positive impact on a great number of people in his life and contributed unselfishly to the communities.
Many people will miss Jeff. Jeff's father, Clayton Ford Wilson, and his son, Jason Jeffrey Wilson, preceded him in death. He is survived by his mother, Gen Campbell; sisters, Melanie Steele, Nora Modderman and Wanda Kenmeir; his brother Clay Wilson; and his beloved Yorkshire, Tinkerbell Services are pending at LaGrone Funeral Chapel.

Title in the Language of the Records
Registros Parroquiales de la Iglesia Católica en Venezuela.
Record Description
This collection of church records covers the years 1577 to 1995 and includes parishes in several dioceses and archdioceses of Venezuela. This collection of baptisms, marriages, and burials were created, registered, and kept in separate registers by the priest in authority of the parish jurisdiction. Regularly two registers were created, the original was kept at the parish archive and a duplicate copy was sent to the diocesan archive for preservation.
The entries were normally created in chronological order. Some confirmations may be found within the baptisms book. The earlier parish records were all handwritten in narrative form, and later records were handwritten in formatted entries.
All records were handwritten in Spanish; see the section "For Help Reading these Records" for translation helps.
The parish registers may be the only records available for genealogical research before civil registration was implemented in 1873. Most of the parish records in this collection were acquired from the diocesan archives. Other archdiocesan registers have been published separately from this collection (See "Related Wiki Articles").
|You can browse through images in this collection by visiting the browse page for Venezuela, Catholic Church Records, 1577-1995.
Record Content
The information found in each record varies by year. Records were made by Catholic priests or their associates, recorded in Spanish, and mostly written on either lined paper or blank paper that contained pre-printed numbers.
Baptism records generally include the following information:
- Name, age, and gender
- Birth date and place
- Date and place of baptism
- Names of parents
- Names of witnesses
Confirmation records/registers generally include:
- Name, age, and gender
- Date and place of confirmation
- Names of parents
- Names of godparents
Marriage records may include the following:
- Names and ages of groom and bride
- Date and place of marriage
- Birthplaces of groom and bride
- Names of groom's parents
- Names of bride's parents
- Who performed the marriage
- Names of witnesses
Death records usually include:
- Deceased's name, gender, and age (keep in mind that death records for women may be filed under their married name)
- Date and place of death
- Marital status/name of spouse
- Birthplace
- Names of parents
How to Use the Record
Some record sets have indexes; these indexes were created at the end of the year. Copy errors could have been made in the index, so you want to find the actual record to verify the information is correct. Using the index is a helpful way to find the actual record.
Regarding marriage and death records, name changes, shortened names, or nicknames may have been used by your ancestors, so pay attention to other relationships (parents, spouse, siblings, children, etc.) that can confirm whether you have the right person/record.

Tips to keep in Mind
In Latin America, two or three generations are often indicated in church registers, along with their birthplaces or residences. If, however, earlier generations are not listed with the relative or ancestor selected, try searching parishes located within a close proximity.
When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct.
Continue to search the marriage records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives of the bride and groom who may have married in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family or even the second marriage of a parent. Repeat this process for each new generation you identify.
Continue to search the indexes and records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have lived in the same area or a nearby area.
Unable to Find Your Ancestor?
A boundary change could have occurred and the record of your ancestor is now in a neighboring state or region, or your ancestor immigrated to another country. Search the records of nearby areas or immigration/emigration records. Venezuela Emigration and Immigration
Civil registration records are also a good source of genealogical information. Venezuela Civil Registration (FamilySearch Historical Records)

If the blossoming flowers and the warmer weather didn't tip you off that spring is upon us, the arrival of the Oratorio Society of Queens' annual spring concert would be a good indication that the season is in swing.
The content of the society's annual holiday concert is generally dictated by a repertoire of holiday standards, but the spring concert is always a bit more eclectic, according to maestro David Close.
"With spring, the sky's the limit," he said on a bright day last week, sitting on the porch of his home with LeeAnn Close, his wife and the society's treasurer.
The concert, which will be held May 22, at 4 p.m. in the Queensborough Performing Arts Center at Queensborough Community College, will feature Brahms' "Liebeslieder Waltzes." The English translation of the title means "love songs," and right before the work's publication Johannes Brahms said he hoped "they will become real family music, and sung a lot."
"Mostly folk-like in nature, Brahms set all of the pieces in the most popular folk style of his time: the waltz. Each song is to-the-point, catchy and a perfect musical expression of the text chosen," reads the society's spring newsletter.
"Brahms worked as a choral conductor. He wrote the pieces to private songs sung in the home," the maestro said.
The concert will also include African-American spirituals and Americana songs such as "Hallelujah," from the movie "Shrek" and "This Land is Your Land" — led by Jerry Korobow on guitar and banjo. Also presented will be an original composition by intern Julie Bouchard.
"In the program, I try to balance what the singers want to sing and what the audience wants to hear," Close said. "Almost all of the singers sing in a church or temple choir. Church anthems are sung every Sunday, and the known repertoire is recycled over a 20- or 30-year period. With the pieces by great composers there's more of a learning curve. They're more grandly presented," he said.
The 120-plus members of the 84-year-old community chorus, ranging in ages from 16 to 86, perform and carry on the tradition of what the maestro calls "the American choral experience."
"You would recognize these people as your friends and neighbors. They're teachers, speech therapists, dentists and lawyers. They're the people who run the New York City subway," he said. "They've been carrying this on since 1927 in a world of change. That's really amazing."
"Especially in the borough of change," added LeeAnn Close.
QCC is at 222-05 56th Ave. in Bayside. Parking is free on the main lot adjacent to the theater, which offers easy-access entry. Ticket prices at the box office are $25 for general admission and $20 for seniors and students with ID. Children 12 and under accompanied by an adult are admitted free.

Hi! I've been away from knitting for about a year now. I decided to start up again with a simple sweater I could wear in the office.
Here is the free pattern from Tahki Stacy Charles.
I started with the back piece - 11 inches of st st. So far, so good...until I get to the decreases for the sleeve. I don't get confused by the first bit which I think I did correctly:"Shape ArmholesBind off 4 (4, 5, 5, 6, 6) sts beg next 2 rows."
Here is the part that threw me:"Dec 1 st each end next 5 rows."
So I did a k2tog after the first two st on the right side followed by ssk before the last two st. That seems right to me. Then I turned it to the wrong side...and it seems weird now. I don't remember doing p2tog and whatever its mirror is on previous sweaters. I only remember my right side decs.
So I guess my question is:
Am I supposed to be doing those decs on the wrong side as well and also how do I do them?
Gosh, this is the longest thing I've ever written on the internet! Thank you so much if you are able to read and help!
Yes, it looks like you'll be decreasing on purl rows also. I would p2tog on the left then ssp when I got to the end, I think. Here's the link to the decreases video page, that's the best way I can think to help you.http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/decreases
That's cute!
I found it on Ravelry and the one person who posted anything has some info that might be helpful. http://www.ravelry.com/projects/ladylau/one-button-jacket
I agree, you'll be decreasing on the purl side (p2tog on right edge and sspon the left edge). I'd put the decreases one stitch in from the edge. So knit one, ssk, knit to 3 sts from the end, k2tog, k one and the same edge st on the purl side. The decreases line up nicely and the edge st makes it easier to seam.Perfect sweater for the office.
You'll want the purl incs to match what you did on the knit row, so you'd ssp at the beg of the row and end with k2tog. That's different from what the others said because you did the k2tog at the beg of the knit row and ssk at the end. A p2tog looks like k2tog on the knit side and ssp looks like the ssk on the knit row.
The knit decreases should definitely be a ssk at the beginning of the knit row and a k2tog at the end of the row. That way the decreases slant in toward the center /__. Thanks for picking that up Sue. But I do think that you would need a p2tog at the right edge or beginning of the purl row and a ssp on the left or the end of row to continue that pattern of slanting decreases.
The knit decreases should definitely be a ssk at the beginning of the knit row and a k2tog at the end of the row.
Actually, they don't have to be. They can slant toward the edges rather than the center; this is called a 'fashion' or 'full fashion' decrease. I do it that way at times and it makes a firmer edge. The only thing is she should be consistent. So if she wants to do k2tog at the beg of the row and ssk at the end, then the WS row should match and be ssp at the beg and p2tog at the end.
Wow! Thanks guys! :grphug:
I had forgotten all about ssp - thanks for the link, GrumpyGramma!
I have inserted a lifeline and am working the k2tog at the beginning and ssk at the end just to see if I like the full-fashion look. Then I'll rip back and try it a different way. I'm interested to see the difference between the two styles.Suzeeq, thanks for telling me that I need to mirror the purl side decreases - I was definitely wondering about that!
A basically concur with everyone who volunteers help!
Decreasing on the Purl side has always been a fussy thing for me. When I work the decrease the way I think it should be done, I immediately turn the work around to face me (RS) and take a look at what I just did. If I don't like it, I try Plan B.
I hate it when you can't get around doing decreases on the WS, the purl side. Bah!


text: Unfortunately, the Company finds itself with insufficient capital to build out its facilities to realize the full value of the spectrum capacity that it holds. Like you, Crest would expect that, if the members of the Company's Board were intent on discharging their fiduciary duties, they would take immediate action to bolster the Company's liquidity.In addition to the sale of excess spectrum that you proposed in your letter, Crest believes that immediate steps to raise capital through the offering and sale of additional common shares would be among the steps a board of directors, acting in the best interests of all shareholders, would pursue. Proceeds from such an offering, together with proceeds from the sale of a portion of the Company's excess spectrum to a third party or parties, would ensure a successful build-out of the Company's network and bolster the Company's position as it renegotiates the lease of its spectrum to Sprint. And the additional and immediate network investment facilitated by a successful share offering would likely increase the value of Clearwire's assets and thus the sale price for any excess spectrum. It is Crest's view that this sale of additional shares can be done quickly and successfully for the good of the Company, its shareholders and the public at large. Indeed, Crest would consider participating in such an offering. There are a number of reasons why a public offering and sale of shares, in addition to the sale of its excess spectrum, should be pursued. First, the value of the Company's assets, which the Softbank-Sprint proposal and the Company's own disclosures confirm, would easily support such an offering. Second, the proceeds from the sale of shares would provide the Company with the capital necessary to push ahead with its build-out strategy during the period it is working to complete its sale of excess spectrum. Third, raising capital from investors other than the dominant shareholder, or at least pro rata with it, would prevent what has amounted to a creeping tender offer that Sprint has said is its intention with regard to the Company – to wit, the buying of shares of strategic investors whenever it gets a chance. Finally, the Company has recently experienced success in raising capital, specifically through sales of its common shares to the public utilizing its Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Company. There is no reason why these efforts should not continue. Indeed, it is unclear why the Company abruptly ended that arrangement near the end of July notwithstanding the success CF&Co. experienced in selling the Company's common shares under that arrangement.

I'm glad that the foundation released the ECAD schematics, but I haven't seen the MCAD data yet. Is there an official STEP file or similar? I have found a user generated model already but a quick spin and you can see that parts of the model (such as the SD slot) are wildly inaccurate.
Is there an official MCAD model of the Raspberry Pi yet?

Re: Sweetcorn more inventive ideas needed please
Jaimes dinners has some nice recipes using sweetcorn. One recipe is of chicken breast stuffed with banana, wrapped in streaky bacon and cooked on a bed of sweetcorn kernals with white wine and cream. Outstanding recipe and a family favourite.
One thing I have always done for many years is to cut the kernals off the cob and melt some oil and butter in a small frypan, put in the corn kernals and a green chilli that has been deseeded and chopped finely - use one of the large banana or one that is not so hot, some fresh ground white pepper and some salt and a pinch sugar. Fry them until cooked through and serve.

Re: Sweetcorn more inventive ideas needed please
we used to use sweetcorn fritters as a garnish in the restaurant. i'm sorry i dont have the exact recipe...
make a beer batter (eggs, flour, beer, whisk) and allow it to rest.
chop some onion, garlic and fresh red chillies.
add your corn and other ingredients to the batter, it should be a fairly loaded mixture with the batter just binding the other ingredients.
season with salt and pepper and any herbs/spices you care to add.
add large spoonfuls to a heated, oiled frying pan or griddle pan and cook on a low heat till done on one side then flip and cook the other side.
serve as an accompaniment to grilled/bar-b'd meats or on their own with dipping sauce.
tip: these are good with lotsa chile!

Re: Sweetcorn more inventive ideas needed please
Try a simple salad of chopped fresh cucumbers, sweet corn, strained yoghurt, a little mayonnaise and chopped dill. You may add a little mashed garlic as well, if you like.
I also like another one - chopped surimi, a little chopped sour apple, sweet corn, mayonnaise, a little yoghurt or/ and lemon juice.
Both can go as starters as well.

Re: Sweetcorn more inventive ideas needed please
Hey Thrifty,
I have a pretty neat idea, if your making Corn on a Cob why not cook the Corn in a Chilli Substance mixed with Spices?
I was thinking Red Chili and Jalapeno.
That way, It'll be hot and spicy ^^
Take care,

Researchers at the NanoScience Center of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, and at Harvard University, US, have discovered a novel way to make nanomaterials. Using computer simulations, the researchers have been able to predict that long and narrow graphene nanoribbons can be rolled into carbon nanotubes by means of twisting. The research has received funding from the Academy of Finland.
The basic idea is simple and easily explained: just twist the ends of a strap on your backpack and watch what happens. Being classical in origin, the mechanism is robust and valid on the macro-, micro- and nanoscale.
The mechanism also enables experimental control, which has earlier been impossible. The mechanism can be used to make various kinds of novel carbon nanotubes, to encapsulate molecules insides the tubes, or to make tubules from ribbons made out of other planar nanomaterials.
For the past twenty years, carbon nanotubes have been described as "rolled-up graphenes," even though no-one ever really did the rolling. Today, nanotubes, along with many other nanomaterials, are made by atom-by-atom growth.
The results were published in Physical Review B. The research used the computer resources of the Finnish IT Centre for Science (CSC), based in Espoo.

The long-awaited, often-advertised Peapod will be available for order on Earth Day, April 22. Coincidentally, the 22nd also is Administrative Assistant's Day. We expect to see a lot of greenies and maybe some secretaries tooling around in their $12,500 Peapods at no more than 25 miles an hour.
While the Peapod prototype had clear driver and passenger doors that looked like a Dyson vacuum cleaner, the production version (shown above) of the neighborhood electric vehicle resembles George Jetson's Deux Chevaux. Company director and brand guru Peter E. Arnell, whose initials inspired the company's name, told Treehugger.com the car's appearance was inspired by "Japanese bullet trains, storm troopers from the film Star Wars, space helmets and turtles." There's also a very prominent "smile" to the car's grill, but what else would you expect from a man whose firm devised Pepsi's new logo with the Cheshire grin and laughably pretentious backstory?
The feel-good vibe continues with a glance at the in-dash iPod (sold seperately). Edmunds says every trip concludes with a carbon-footprint analysis, while another app tells you exactly how much money you've saved by leaving the family truckster at home.
Arnell says the Peapod isn't a neighborhood electric vehicle, even if the National Highway Transportation Safety Board and his company's own website do. Arnell callls it a Mobi, a new category he's "branded"
in much the same way automakers branded 4x4s "SUVS." Regardless of what you call it, the Peapod tops out as 25 mph as required by law for NEVs.
This pod has been cast from Peapod Mobility. Originally a division of GEM, a Chrysler subsidiary that's been churning out small electric vehicles for more than 10 years, the new Peapod Mobility is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chrysler. While GEM's e-series NEVs are popular in retirement communities, as utility vehicles on college campuses and as runabouts for Republican presidential candidates, the entire Peapod experience is aimed at high-tech urban commuters. Edmunds reports the all-electric four-seater will be sold direct to consumers from the Peapod website and marketed extensively to college students. Zune holdouts need not apply: The Peapod requires an iPod or iPhone to start the car, which doesn't make much sense to us.
The first 'pods will be delivered to buyers by October.

Why does my new cat hate me?
A cat showed up outside my NYC work building on the 4th floor fire escape. Someone let the cat in b/c it was cold outside and when I first met her, she seemed very sweet (let me pet her, purred). We tried to let the cat back out, thinking its owner was nearby and she could find them, but she refused to go out. I took her to the vet that day to get vaccinated so she could come home with me while we looked for her owner. She was immediately a different cat, hissing at me and my 2 other cats. She won't let me pet her without growling, even when it's just us in the room. We're almost a week in and I don't know what to do. No sign of the owner despite my signs and she seems to hate it here. Do I give her to a no-kill shelter or try harder to make it work? Any tips?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
there are so many 'ifs' to this quiestion. Firstly, put up a sign in your building. She may have got out someone's fire escape...sigh. Used to happen in our old building alot. I used to post the signs in the laundry room, and/or right outside the building. I had a neihbors cat who got out hwne silly neihbor didn't screen windows. I eventually wound up keeping the cat.
Post it to the lost section on petfinders. Please post a picture-it will let the owner if they are out there see the cat.
It's early days yet. You don't know what's happened to this kitty. Maybe they are stresed, and nervous from all the new change. My new cats sometimes are nervous with new cats/kittens and may take awhile to get used to the others. This might be the case with this kitty. Give her time-she may not have lived with other cats-I wouldn't try to push too much too fast. Get a feliway diffeuser and lots of valarian root toys...they are soothing.
And be patient....she's got to be nervous!

Maybe she attaches you to the shot she got. She's thinking 'I trusted you and you brought me to a mean man with a sharp thing'. Give her a while to calm down, feed her treats often and maybe she'll forgive you.

Other Disclosure Information
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
Credit statement
Parents whose infant or child has an open wound will likely seek care and advice from their own primary care provider (PCP). The PCP has much to consider for comprehensive evaluation, holistic care and successful wound management: recall principles of skin healing, perform a complete history to gain perspective of the possible factors associated with impaired skin integrity, and determine if this wound is compromised by comorbidities. Pediatric patients who present with wounds are oftentimes medically complex, yet basic principles of wound healing, practical health management strategies and standard wound treatments can be implemented for wound closure and healing.
Risk factors for open wounds in children
Impaired skin can be a result of a combination of intrinsic issues and extrinsic factors. Key health related intrinsic factors to consider are age, nutrition and hydration level, skin's pH level, anemia, tissue perfusion and oxygenation. External elements associated with skin breakdown include exposure to excessive heat, moisture, friction shear and pressure.
Skin properties of newborns and premature infants present a unique set of risks. The outermost layer of the epidermis includes the stratum cornea composed of corneocytes (flattened dead cells) with humectants (natural moisturizing factor, NMF, that holds water in the cells) and maintains a low pH of 5.5 in normal skin. This acid mantle controls microbial colonization. However, in newborns the stratum corneum is thinner with less NMF and less sebum. Premature infants' skin is even more so, and therefore vulnerable to a dysfunctional epidermal barrier with difficulties in fluid homeostasis, thermoregulation and infection control. Infants have increased susceptibility to percutaneous toxicity due to higher surface area to volume ratio, immature drug metabolism systems and decreased subcutaneous fat stores, so careful consideration of product ingredients is necessary. Products with alcohol and iodine-containing compounds used for topical antisepsis can pose a significant risk, in addition to anesthetic creams. [1,2]
Skin breakdown caused by diaper dermatitis is most common with a reported prevalence rate of 16% in hospitalized children. [3] However, pressure sores which occur less often at reported variable rates between 4%-13% in hospitalized pediatric patients are harder to treat as injury to the skin is persistent. Illness, fever and incontinence can increase susceptibility. [4]
Pediatric clinical experts developed the Glamorgan Scale, which determined the following statistically significant pressure ulcer risk factors in hospitalized infants and children: [5,6]
Extrapolating from critical care literature on hospitalized children, risk factors associated with skin breakdown or redness also included age 2 years or younger, length of stay 4 days or longer, requirement for mechanical ventilation and respiratory diagnosis at admission. [4] The role of intubation duration in the development of pressure ulcers results from restricting movement of the child's head and the use of sedation and paralyzing agents that reduce spontaneous body movements, all in efforts to maintain a patent airway. [7]
In children younger than 36 months of age, the head constitutes a greater portion of total body weight and surface area; therefore when supine, the occipital region becomes the primary point of pressure where sores can develop. [5,7] Other pressure ulcer sites include the sacral area, ears and calcaneal regions. This is unlike adults who are more likely to develop pressure ulcers in the sacral region, heels, trochanters, scapula, ankles and elbows.
Fifty percent of pressure sores identified in neonates and children are related to the use of equipment and devices. [8] With this in mind, any use of equipment such as helmets, CPAP mask, nasal prongs, tracheostomy plates, tracheostomy tubing, arm boards, blood pressure cuffs, casts, g-tube bumpers, orthotic devices, traction boots, wheelchairs and standers require vigilant skin assessments underneath the medical equipment as prevention is the best defense for pressure ulcers. Once skin breakdown occurs, early identification, pressure relieving strategies, more frequent repositioning, education and training for all caregivers is essential.
Comprehensive history, physical exam and wound evaluation
Pediatric patients with wounds require a comprehensive history: past medical diagnoses, co-morbidities, surgical history, illnesses, infections, hospitalizations, review of systems, diagnostic work-up, diet, allergies, medications, family/social history and use of devices/equipment. Specific wound queries can correlate causative factors, help diagnose wound type and guide best individualized treatment strategies. When, where and how did the wound develop? How long has it been present? What care has been provided thus far? What treatments or remedies attempted? Has the wound remain static, regressed or improved over time? Wound evaluation as part of the comprehensive physical exam includes: location, size and dimensions including dead space, presence of healthy tissue, slough, necrotic tissue, wound edges, surrounding tissue, drainage, and signs of infection. Key considerations are summarized in Table 1.
Table 1. Key Physical Exam Considerations
Pressure ulcer stages and categories
According to the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) official website, the international NPUAP-EUAP pressure ulcer definition is a localized injury to the skin and or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or in combination with shear. Pressure sore etiology starts with the normal force of gravity, external mechanical load (shearing included), or forces applied to the skin, which creates pressure gradients that induce deformation of skin and subdermal tissues to breakdown. Pressure ulcers are considered according to the following categories and stages:
Category/Stage I: Non-blanchable erythema – intact skin with non-blanchable erythema of a localized area usually over a bony prominence
Category/Stage II: Partial thickness – partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red pink wound bed without slough
Category/Stage III: Full thickness skin loss – full thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon or muscle are not exposed
Category/Stage IV: Full thickness tissue loss – full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon or muscle
Unstageable/Unclassified: Full-thickness skin or tissue loss – depth unknown – full thickness tissue loss in which actual depth of the ulcer is completely obscured by slough (yellow/tan/gray, green, or brown) and/or eschar (tan/brown or black) in the wound bed
Suspected Deep Tissue Injury – depth unknown – purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or blood-filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue injury from pressure and/or shear

Principles of wound healing
Inflammation, proliferation and maturation are the 3 overlapping phases in wound healing. At onset of tissue injury, coagulation, fibrin formation and vasoconstriction reduce active bleeding. In this inflammatory phase, leukocytosis also occurs to break down bacteria and cell debris removing it from the wound bed which can take hours, days, weeks or longer. The second phase is of proliferation where fibroblast and endothelial cells lay down a matrix of granulation tissue. Angiogenesis, collagen deposition, epithelialization and wound contraction occur, therefore decreasing wound proportions over time (typically evolves over weeks or months depending on the wound size). These first 2 phases require a moist wound environment for cells to fight infection and to migrate across the wound bed in order to form granular tissue. The last phase of maturation occurs over months to a few years as the collagen remodels and scar tissue evolves to nearly 80% of original strength. [7]
Management strategies
Wound identification drives treatment strategies. Pressure ulcers require alleviation of the pressure by frequent repositioning and pressure redistribution, which may need improved support surfaces (mattress, cushion, padded orthoses). Diabetic foot ulcer treatment includes the use of pressure-relieving foot surfaces and controlled blood sugars. Venous stasis wounds or open skin areas associated with lymphedema need the gold standard of compression treatment. Overall wound management goals are listed in Table 2.
Table 2. Goals of Wound Management
A clinician's goal is to maximize the percentage of granulation tissue and decrease devitalized yellow fibrinous material, thick and leathery purplish brown or black eschar through several possible methods of debridement. Autolysis is the use of the body's own capacity to lyse and dissolve necrotic tissue (can occur with an occlusive or semi-occlusive dressing that concentrates and encapsulates white blood cells and enzymes within the wound bed). Enzymatic product use has not been established in children although some anecdotal use has occurred. Mechanical debridement with moist-to-dry dressings can be used so that the necrotic tissue adheres to the woven 8 or 12 ply gauze and the debris can be removed from the wound bed with each dressing change. This process may be painful, so cautiously used in pediatrics. Maggot therapy is very effective in removing devitalized tissue, but is not used much. Lastly, surgical debridement through the use of a sharp instrument or scalpel to dissect the necrotic tissue from viable tissue is a rapid and effective method. Cross-hatching (surgical technique of making a checkered board slits through the thickest eschar) along with enzymes can also debride effectively. Consideration of the patient's sensations and potential for pain can guide choice of debridement, and use of an analgesic (even topical) may be necessary. Scant bleeding at the base of the wound is beneficial as it releases platelet-derived growth factors that stimulate healing. [9]
Vascularized wounds
A well vascularized wound bed that is red or pink requires a moist environment to heal; either with a hydration agent (wound gel) or a dressing to retain moisture (an occlusive-type dressing). Hypergranular tissue, an overabundance above the surface of the edges, can also interfere with wound closure and can be managed with silver nitrate sticks or foam dressings. Hypergranulating tissue may indicate ongoing pressure or friction at the wound site.
Wound cleansing and dressings
The most popular cleansing agent to remove debris and prepare the wound surface is normal saline. Avoidance of harsh substances (hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, dyes, preservatives and soaps with fragrances) is advocated, as they interfere with tissue healing. A majority of wound treatment research has been funded by pharmaceutical companies, performed with adults and then extrapolated to use in children. Performance claims of superior wound care dressings and products were often compared to wet or moist to dry dressings (few are randomized studies with controls) so products are difficult to compare.
The goal of product selection in pediatrics is to create or maintain a moist wound environment, control exudate, inhibit bacterial growth, keep contaminants out of the wound, and limit pain and trauma with wound treatments. [9] Consideration of insurance coverage and economics often drives the use of least expensive dressing. Recommended frequency of dressing change and labor requirements for wound care are equally important for compliance and successful wound management. The most common dressings recommended in pediatrics include hydrocolloids, hydrogels, transparent films, polyurethane foams and gauze. [5] Close monitoring and altering the dressing types may be required to complement various wound phases throughout the journey of the healing process. Use non-stick dressing options or overlays for comfort and when possible secure dressings without the use of tape (use tubular stretchy gauze) to minimize trauma. A fairly comprehensive list of standard dressing types/categories, their utility and recommended frequency of dressing changes are listed in Table 3 (without promotion of name brands), while Table 4 lists dressing options based on exudate.
Table 3. Standard Wound Care Dressing Options
Table 4. Dressing Options Based on Exudate
Treat infection
All wounds are colonized, so distinguishing between a bacterial bio-burden within the wound versus true wound, tissue infection or cellulitis is important. Bio-burdened wounds can improve with bacteriostatic wound products to decrease bacteria; dressings impregnated with silver, methylene blue and gentian violet, manuka honey, or 5% iodoform have been used in adults (cautious use in children). Wounds suspicious for infection demonstrating copious wound drainage, foul odor, erythema and swelling surrounding the edges should have a wound culture obtained, full lab work-up and typically require gram positive antibiotic coverage for 10-14 days. Deep tissue or bone infection with fever may require intravenous treatment, incision and drainage, or surgical debridement and tissue culture.
Enhance nutrition
Malnutrition or deficiencies of protein and other key nutrients may contribute to wound formation or delay wound healing. A comprehensive nutritional assessment; following trends in protein, albumin and pre-albumin levels; and educating families on increasing protein foods, calories and vitamins (A, C, and zinc advised) can enhance healing. A formal nutritional consultation, written educational handouts and website resources can facilitate learning. Treatment of anemia is also key in facilitating healing of wounds.
Other considerations
Wounds associated with diaper dermatitis: Diaper dermatitis (DD) is a common condition seen in pediatric healthcare. Excessive moisture from perspiration, alkaline urine and feces in an occlusive diapered environment can increase skin permeability allowing irritants and pathogens in through the skin barrier. Candida albicans and staphylococcus are common pathogens which can cause infections requiring treatment. With the protective stratum corneum breached, irritation from moisture and friction can cause skin erosions and open lesions that are painful in the perineal area and buttocks. [10-12] Prevention is the goal with the use of emollients or petrolatum to protect epidermal function. When breakdown occurs treatment includes increased frequency of diaper changes and use of higher absorbency products to reduce wetness on the skin. Prudent skin care following episodes of incontinence with no-rinse skin cleansers (pH similar to skin), mild soap with minimal water, liquid cleansers containing emollients, or sterile water (most common in neonatal units) is advocated. Emollients are useful to draw moisture in the stratum corneum and decrease dry skin, and they have anti-inflammatory and antipruritic properties. [1] After cleansing, application of a barrier protecting agent, such as a no sting barrier film or liquid polymer, can provide a thin transparent breathable barrier and can be used in an infant if older than 28 days old. Barrier creams (zinc based) should be applied thickly and it is advised to refrain from removing completely during diaper changes. If fungal treatment is required, use the anti-fungal cream then layer with barrier cream for added protection from stool. Triple paste or stoma adhesive powders can be used with denuded skin if former methods have yet to improve skin integrity. The use of petrolatum as the second or third layer prevents the creams from sticking to the diaper. [10,13] Hydration and dietary modifications can enhance healing.
Post-surgical wounds: Surgical closure (whether technique involves sutures, staples or glue) allows a bridge of scar tissue to form between the edges for primary intention healing. At times the traction is not maintained due to mechanical forces or increased/excessive drainage. Post-surgical wound dehiscence may require secondary intention healing with an absorptive dressing and sometimes antibiotics. Communication and coordination of post-surgical follow-up is recommended.
Burns: Post-traumatic burns can be followed in primary care settings, dependent on percentage of surface area affected, burn degree and depth, and patient stability. Silver sulfadiazine creams or ointments applied daily for early burn treatment offer an economical choice for large areas to provide anti-bacterial effect and moist wound environment. Post-burn scars oftentimes require long term emollients to manage the dryness associated with the damaged skin.
Slow-to-heal and non-healing wounds: Non-healing wounds require special consideration. Psychosocial factors may impact compliance with wound care recommendations – poor health choices, smoking, skipping meals, insufficiently using dressings, conserving supplies, or depression. Patients and families may require further multidisciplinary team member involvement (dietician, social worker or psychologist). Referrals may be needed to a wound care specialist (Certified Wound and Ostomy Care Nurse, CWOCN), dermatology, endocrinology, infectious disease, occupational therapy, orthotics, orthopedics, physical therapy, plastic surgery podiatry, prosthetics, rheumatology, and vascular surgery.
Advanced wound care treatments used in wound care clinics
Wound care clinics with specialists can employ innovative technologies and advanced wound therapies that have been efficacious with reduced time to healing compared to the standard treatments in adult patients with diabetic wounds, pressure, venous and arterial ulcers. These advanced treatment options include: biologic skin equivalents or bio-composite dressings (porcine dermal collagen or human newborn fibroblasts); negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) or wound vacuum-assisted closure (VAC), whereby dressings are performed by trained providers typically 3 times weekly (limited time frames and close observation intervals when used in children); tissue engineered growth factors and platelet derivative growth factors (advanced technologically derived additives); pulsatile lavage; electrical stimulation; and hyperbaric oxygen treatment. [14] These have been shown to be effective in difficult-to-close wounds, such as those with vascular compromise.
Pediatric patients who develop wounds typically have complex medical conditions with multifactorial causes and relationships to the breakdown of their integumentary system. PCPs can fully evaluate the child, institute practical wound treatments and effectively manage health related issues, leading to successful wound closure in most of these patients. Recognition of non-healing wounds and unique patient situations at times require a larger team of providers with more advanced treatment options and settings.

Report Re-characterizes "Clean Coal" Program: Black As Ever
Just when the "clean coal" mantra, having been echoed through the public relations hole a gazillion times, had even US presidential candidates from both parties arguing that more "clean coal" type technology was ready for prime time taxpayer subsidy, comes a contrarian's view from 13 MIT experts. In a nutshell: its not ready. Worse than 'not ready,' the current approach of the US Department of Energy FutureGen program increases the likelihood of financial waste and adds to the risk that energy supplies will be disrupted in the future. Don't take our word for it, read the overview in Technology Review. Meanwhile, we've been making a similar point in our recent posts. So here's another contrariwise idea from us. Next time the DOE cooks up a scheme that makes or breaks the prospects for life on earth, they might want to get a third party peer review from people with no economic interest in the outcome. Look below the fold for a few excerpts.
The volume of compressed carbon dioxide that will need to be captured and transported is similar in scale to the amount of oil consumed in the United States .
The report challenged the idea, argued by some energy experts, that a new type of coal plant--one that converts coal into a gas before burning it--will make it easier and cheaper to capture carbon dioxide, compared with collecting it from the smokestacks of conventional power plants.
As a result, the MIT researchers recommend that governments not support the new gasification plants over conventional plants. Instead, they say that governments should focus on large-scale demonstration programs that would, for the first time, capture carbon dioxide from coal plants, transport it, and store it at a large scale Without such a demonstration, warns the report, a rush to cut carbon emissions would lead to spiking costs and further delays, and that would make it difficult for power producers to meet energy demand.

I thought it would be interesting to see how Yu-Na would fair in the men's event. So i refactored her components using the men's factor and this is what it came out to!
SP - 86.95 (4th)
FS - 168.00 (1st)
Total - 254.95 (3rd)
LOL, if Yu-Na was competing with the men, she would have WON the free skate and placed third overall. This is laughable.

Z-Bo had earned his bad rep with fans over a number of years, which made a lot of Grizz fans like myself nervous when he was signed. However, he has really done a 180. Whether it's his fit here in Memphis, becoming a father, or just growing up a bit, he seems to have put all that behind him. He does a LOT of charity work here in Memphis, but he doesn't go around bragging about it. There have been a lot of stories like this one over the past 4 years. A lot of personal accounts from fans who he took the time to talk to. The fans here love him because of it.

Felicity Lawrence's uncovering of the brutal conditions faced by migrant workers (Happy hens, unhappy workers? Gangmasters face abuse claim, 30 October) is a sobering reminder that not everyone enjoys the humane treatment at work that most people take for granted. Thank goodness, then, for the Gangmasters Licensing Authority that put a stop to this abuse.
Most people would conclude that its powers should be increased to stop more companies from trafficking and abusing workers.
Not this government. The Beecroft report deemed moves to tackle trafficking to be "burdensome" red tape and called for "serious consideration" to be given to abolishing the GLA. Ministers backed down under union pressure but, by allowing gangmasters to set up without proper checks, this government has made GLA's work in making free range chickens free from human abuse harder.
Sarah Veale
Head of equality and employment rights, TUC
• There are many reasons why farmers want to see the abolition of the Agriculture Wages Board (AWB) that Polly Toynbee does not cover (Comment, 26 October). For a start – and perhaps most importantly – 41% of farmworkers earn above the industry minimums set by the AWB, and few skilled workers currently receive the AWB minimum wage.
Is she arguing that Labour's flagship National Minimum Wage Act 1998 is inadequate? With modern employment legislation, not least a national minimum wage and rules covering workers' rights, industrial relations and business management, farm managers have to pay competitive rates to attract and retain skills, just like any other business.
And the accusation that without the AWB farm managers are free to abuse child workers is both offensive and inaccurate. In fact, the case she mentions was investigated but saw no prosecution brought by either the GLA or child protection services.
The AWB has no place in a modern, forward-thinking farming industry. The NFU already provides support to farmers and farm businesses on all aspects of employment relations and will build on this support for the farming community.

The Life and Letters of Darwin, Volume 2 HTML version
Fertilisation Of Flowers
[In the letters already given we have had occasion to notice the general bearing of a
number of botanical problems on the wider question of Evolution. The detailed work in
botany which my father accomplished by the guidance of the light cast on the study of
natural history by his own work on Evolution remains to be noticed. In a letter to Mr.
Murray, September 24th, 1861, speaking of his book on the 'Fertilisation of Orchids,' he
says: "It will perhaps serve to illustrate how Natural History may be worked under the
belief of the modification of species." This remark gives a suggestion as to the value and
interest of his botanical work, and it might be expressed in far more emphatic language
without danger of exaggeration.
In the same letter to Mr. Murray, he says: "I think this little volume will do good to the
'Origin,' as it will show that I have worked hard at details." It is true that his botanical
work added a mass of corroborative detail to the case for Evolution, but the chief support
to his doctrines given by these researches was of another kind. They supplied an
argument against those critics who have so freely dogmatised as to the uselessness of
particular structures, and as to the consequent impossibility of their having been
developed by means of natural selection. His observations on Orchids enabled him to say:
"I can show the meaning of some of the apparently meaningless ridges, horns, who will
now venture to say that this or that structure is useless?" A kindred point is expressed in a
letter to Sir J.D. Hooker (May 14th, 1862:)--
"When many parts of structure, as in the woodpecker, show distinct adaptation to external
bodies, it is preposterous to attribute them to the effects of climate, etc., but when a single
point alone, as a hooked seed, it is conceivable it may thus have arisen. I have found the
study of Orchids eminently useful in showing me how nearly all parts of the flower are
co-adapted for fertilization by insects, and therefore the results of natural selection--even
the most trifling details of structure."
One of the greatest services rendered by my father to the study of Natural History is the
revival of Teleology. The evolutionist studies the purpose or meaning of organs with the
zeal of the older Teleology, but with far wider and more coherent purpose. He has the
invigorating knowledge that he is gaining not isolated conceptions of the economy of the
present, but a coherent view of both past and present. And even where he fails to discover
the use of any part, he may, by a knowledge of its structure, unravel the history of the
past vicissitudes in the life of the species. In this way a vigour and unity is given to the
study of the forms of organised beings, which before it lacked. This point has already
been discussed in Mr. Huxley's chapter on the 'Reception of the "Origin of Species",' and
need not be here considered. It does, however, concern us to recognize that this "great
service to natural science," as Dr. Gray describes it, was effected almost as much by his
special botanical work as by the 'Origin of Species.'

Sprint's (S) earnings have decreased in each of the last five years, primarily because it is losing business to its two larger competitors, Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T). Sprint is a company that has been in a long-downward spiral, and which is badly in need of a growth catalyst. In this article, I will show how Sprint's much needed catalyst might come in the form of its new "Network Vision" plan, and how this new plan could impact its attractiveness for investment.
Sprint moves forward with its "Network Vision Plan"
The "Network Vision" is a multi-year initiative to provide an enhanced network experience which will make it possible for Sprint subscribers to have the same kind of high speed LTE service that AT&T and Verizon Wireless offers to their subscribers." The first step in the plan is for Sprint to decommission its "Nextel Direct Connect phones." In mid June, Sprint signed a contract with a construction arm of Overland Park-based Black & Veatch to deactivate the Nextel network. In mid June, Sprint announced that it would begin rolling out its "Network Vision" that will provide advanced 3G and 4G LTE service in San Antonio, Dallas, Houston and Atlanta by the end of the month. Service in Austin should be available by the end of the year. Sprint expects to roll out the 4G LTE service to 173 million users by the end of the year."
Sprint's iPhone rollout
Sprint recently announced that it would sell iPhones through its Virgin Mobile pay-as-you go brand. Virgin Mobile will sell the iPhones for between $550 and $650 on a no-contract and no credit check basis. Sprint needs to sell 30 million iPhones over 4 years, to meet its $15.5 billion commitment to Apple. "That equals 7.5 million per year, and Sprint has only sold 3.3 million in its first 6-months of carrying the phone." Sprint Nextel's CEO Dan Hesse said "he would take a "$3,250,830" cut in pay this year, after coming under fire from some shareholders disappointed with the hit the company's results took from subsidizing Apple's (AAPL) popular iPhones." I believe that the only reason that Sprint is selling iPhones through Virgin Mobile, is because it needs to make up ground in order to meet its committeemen to Apple.
Positives for Sprint moving forward
In early June, the company received $1 billion in financing from "Deutsche Bank and a syndicate of other banks to purchase network equipment from Ericsson". "The deal could be backed by another $2 billion, meeting Sprint's April 25th earnings call guidance that they were looking to secure vendor financing in the range of $1 to $3 billion." This $1 billion financing agreement is good news for Sprint, which said at its first quarter earnings conference that it would need $5 to $7 billion to implement its Network Vision strategy. Sprint's executives believe that the company will be able to compete with its larger competitors, Verizon and AT&T, once it completes its Network Vision plan.
Sprint has continued to lose money, but in the first quarter, it decreased its earnings per share losses by 48%, from $0.43 to $0.29.
The stock price is trending upwards, and since January 10th, the stock price has increased by 50%, from $2.10 to $3.16.
Negatives for Sprint moving forward
Sprint has been successful in getting $1 billion in financing to use towards the building of its LTE Network Vision build-out project. However, the company will still need an additional $4 to $6 billion in financing to complete the project, and there are still doubts about whether the company will be able to secure that amount of financing.
If Sprint completes its network Vision build-out it will still need device makers to produce products that will support its unique frequencies. "Without a breadth of devices to offer, all the effort put into Network Vision would become a total waste."
"Due to overwhelming demand for Galaxy S III worldwide, Samsung has informed us they will not be able to deliver enough inventory of Galaxy S III for Sprint to begin selling the device on June 21." Sprint said it is working closely with Samsung to offer the Android smartphone as soon as possible, but did not have a new launch date to share.
Sprint's plight reminds me of Nokia (NOK). Sprint was once a market leader, but has fallen because it management was slow to adapt to changes in technology. Sprint like Nokia is now in the position of desperately trying to catch up with its competitors. Sprint should be commended for implementing its Network Vision program, and for contracting with Apple, to offer its customers the highly popular iPhones.
Sprint has a lot of catching up to do, and there is no guarantee that its new initiatives will be successful. Even though Sprint has made some bold moves, it must still deal with the burden of building out a new LTE system, and taking on up to $7 billion in additional debt, on top of the $22.27 billion in debt that it already holds. As a long-term investor, I would rather invest in Verizon or AT&T, which have reasonable debt loads, along with profits and enough cash to pay generous dividends. However, investors that are less risk adverse might be willing to invest in Sprint. After all, the stock price has increased by 50% since January 10th, and could still move higher once its Network Vision plan becomes operative. Though Sprint's stock is volatile, I still recommend buying, especially if you have faith in the Network Vision plan.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.
