Re: Why people love Ares and Hades ?

I like Ares because I feel that getting "good" with him would mean learning your combos cuz the magic isn't all that, ya dig? I feel that I got better with my other warriors because I knew what a hammer can do and how to cancel sword combos into other stuff. And when I DO have magic with Ares, (most of the time its fist of Ares) I like to combo my magic into my moves instead of throwing it out there all naked like I've seen a lot of players do as soon as they get a blue vent. As for Hades.... He is my least favorite. I'm not big on spamming CDs like its the thing to do. I'd rather go Poseidon and tank some fools and feel like a bad **bleep**. You can really tell the better fighter when its 1v1 as Poseidon and you outlast the other player with skill. Just my opinion. -V
I'm almost done maxing out my Poseidon warrior, only the maul to max out. I've maxed Zeus and Ares already and saving Hades for last. Ares warrior is a true fighter I use him in the single online player challenge and do very well... Sometimes. I agree that Ares is the best to learn with if your just starting out, It's pretty cool that the God alliances are like different classes; Hades=sniper Ares=assault Poseidon=support Zeus=engineer like in BF3. If your running with a team you should really have a Poseidon warrior in the mix.
Re: Why people love Ares and Hades ?[ Edited ]
FACTOID: Ares is the most popular God allegiance thus far, but also has players with the lowest overall skill rating. Hades is the second most popular, and the highest skill rated players, evil incarnate FTW!

Re: Why people love Ares and Hades ?
Lol at it taking skill to use Hades (not to say there aren't skillfull Hades players out there). I lost count of the amount of players who solely rely on L1+square with hammer or sword.

1. Greatest story of our time: technology has changed the world
We have wildly exceeded Bill Gates' vision of a PC in every home and on every desk: many of us have the equivalent of a PC in every pocket and our households are teeming with laptops, tablets, smart phones, refrigerators and media centers.
Mobile phones have brought the power of computing to the Delhi seamstress and the Ghana farmer. Technology is deeply embedded in the fabric of industry, government and society at all levels and in all parts of this planet. So, look around at the impact that technology is having in the world and capture these stories.
2. Celebrate the change technology has made
Those of us in the technology world are often so caught up in the new new thing that we forget to celebrate achievements. We need to not only recognise the obvious impact of technology over the past 30 years, but also the downstream impact. For example, email saves the forests, coal beds and oil deposits depleted to send the same information through "snail mail".
And where there is technology, in the form of vaccines and easy access to information, life expectancy has the possibility to double. So, let's hit the pause button and publicly celebrate the impact our technologists have made these past few decades.
3. Recognise and assume responsibility for innovation's impact and invent the fixes
Kindergarten students don't have fine-tuned digital motor skills but their thumbs are very adept. Many teens default to playing with their phones and only communicating via text messages now versus interacting with people in-person.
MIT Professor Sherry Turkle studied the effect of technology on youth and relationships over the past 10 years, and documented how technology supports, but also inhibits relationships. She advocates new societal norms and etiquette for technology use. The technology industry needs to own, solve and talk about these and other important societal issues.
4. Change the conversation
With the global community as our audience, it is time for us to elevate our conversation from speeds and feeds and competitive features to one of how technologies are applied to daily life. As communicators, this is our job. We need to guide our colleagues and clients away from the arcane technical language that is our industry's comfort zone and elevate the conversation to one of benefits, impact and application. Steve Jobs made technology accessible and beautiful. We can do the same to the language of technology.
5. Innovation is everywhere, talk about it
We are no longer in the information age. It is no longer about accessing and sharing information globally.
We are now in what I call the innovation age, where innovation is the engine driving everything. We must communicate the innovation that underlies every aspect of our work and play for this innovation is what will define and sustain the great brands and institutions in the future. Having an innovation story will soon be the ticket to global success.

Business Technology Early College High School
In partnership with
Early College Initiative (ECI)
Queensborough has partnered with the Department of Education (DOE) and the multinational software corporation SAP, to develop an Early College Initiative (ECI) High School in Business Technology . The school will be located in a public school building in Queens.
This is a very exciting project that promises to provide high school students interested in Business Technology with the opportunity to participate in a program that will help them successfully transition from high school to college to challenging 21st century careers. The initiative reflects President Obama's remarks in the State of the Union Address, wherein he emphasized the importance of "connecting companies to community colleges that can help design training to fill specific student needs."
The ECI project is supported by a number of QCC chairpersons, faculty and Academic Senators, and will be facilitated on our campus by Denise Ward, Interim Vice President for Pre-College, Continuing Education and Workforce Development. At the January meeting of the Steering Committee, the Marketing and Curriculum Planning Subcommittees gave updates on the initial work of their members: The committees planned to:
- Develop a marketing and recruiting campaign (funded by the DOE), including print and on-line strategies to enroll 110 students for the fall 2014 launch.
- Finalize the mission and value statements of the ECI and name of the high school.
- Begin work on skills mapping and the scope and sequence plan by assembling job descriptions from technology companies that are applicable to careers in business technology solutions – and for which two of QCC's existing degrees most closely prepare our students (Associate in Applied Science degree in Computer Information Systems in the Business Department and Internet Technology in the Engineering Technology Department).
Two QCC chairpersons serve on the Steering Committee, and an additional two chairs with seven QCC faculty serve on the ECI Curriculum Planning Subcommittee. Any changes to existing degree curriculum will be subject to the standard QCC Curriculum Committee approval process. All of the program's college courses will be taught by QCC faculty.
A Brief Summary of QCC's Planning Process to Date:
In November, Interim Vice President Denise Ward and Dr. Belle Birchfield, STEM Academy, along with Professor Leslie Francis, Business Academy attended the New York State P-TECH Leadership Council in Albany. The meeting brought DOE officials together with college faculty and administrators, and high school administrators and teachers representing the 16 proposed ECI initiatives across the state. Our QCC representatives also had a chance to meet with Hoa Tu, principal of the new partner high school. The objectives of the meeting were to establish a statewide learning community of all partnerships, to clarify NYS P-TECH Design Principles, to identify opportunities for innovation and to gather input and guidance for ongoing professional development for teachers. This meeting also provided an opportunity to better understand the structure of the entire initiative, as well as interact with other successfully launched schools, and discuss curriculum and the governance process between high schools and colleges.
The trip to Albany was the fruitful result of an initial meeting between QCC and the NYC DOE and SAP to discuss and potentially create an ECI program. The first meeting brought together Dr. Stuart Asser, STEM Academy; Dr. Jonas Falik, Business Academy; Dr. Karen Steele, Interim Vice President for Strategic Planning, Assessment and Institutional Effectiveness; Dr. Diane B. Call, President of Queensborough Community College; Denise Ward, Interim Vice President, Pre-College, Continuing Education and Workforce Development; and Alan Werner. Other attendees were: Jackie M. Suarez, Director of Corporate Social Responsibility at SAP; Katy Belot, NYC Department of Education, Director of Industry Engagement; Hoa Tu, NYC Department of Education and proposed school leader; and Cass Conrad, Adenike Huggins, and Brian Donnelly from CUNY's office of ECI.
A number of organizational and program aspects of the proposed model were discussed—with the following points established:
- A mission statement for the proposed ECI school will be drafted and reviewed by the Planning Committee, which will work over the next six months on the structure, curriculum, and staffing of the ECI school. Representing QCC on this Committee for the initial planning will be Denise Ward, Stu Asser and Jonas Falik.
- QCC faculty and staff will partner with the NYC Department of Education and SAP to develop an ECI at a location in Queens. Public meetings will be held to determine a location.
- Denise Ward will be our campus coordinator for the project.
- The curriculum focus will be technology and business applications with guidance from our Business and Engineering Technology faculty.
- Specialized student and instructional support services will be an integral part of the ECI school structure and program.
- Projected launch date with a ninth grade class of approximately 100 students is for early fall 2014—with self-selection based on student interest rather than a competitive test to determine admission.
- •QCC faculty from across disciplines will be invited to become involved with general education curriculum development.
- SAP, as the corporate partner, will participate in mapping key skills related to career success at SAP and business/industry clients who use their systems. SAP will also help to design appropriate internship experiences for students aligned with the curriculum and careers in the industry.
As of mid-March, the Marketing Subcommittee engaged a website designer and final editing of the website is underway. The subcommittee also participated in a DOE, SAP and QCC design workshop that addressed recruiting strategies and use of various media, such as white-boarding, to use in recruiting both students and teachers. An info-graphic and postcard with a new brand logo was also developed. Six recruiting events are planned in schools and other locations around the city and one on campus.
The Curriculum Planning Subcommittee assembled several job descriptions applicable to entry level jobs in business technology. Skills mapping began with discussions of specific course electives in the two degree programs that would best satisfy workforce needs. Ensuring high school students are ready to succeed at college level work is a major topic of discussion. Pre-college programming is planned in both Reading/Writing and Math. Both the DOE Principal and QCC faculty want to ensure students are well prepared to succeed at college level coursework and do not want to rely solely on minimum Regents grades to satisfy eligibility requirements.
An initial six year Scope and Sequence report for each of the two degree programs was developed and submitted to the NYSED per grant reporting requirements. Work on these two schedules will continue to evolve as the programming is further discussed. Students will enroll in their first college core general education courses in the eleventh grade. Specific technology certifications were discussed, including those offered by SAP. A Speech/Oral Presentation course will be required of all students.
Five QCC faculty will attend a SAP University Alliance Conference in Atlanta at the end of March. The professional development conference will provide curriculum planning and technology workshops as well as opportunities to draw from other experienced college professors offering similar programs.
Unique Aspects of the Proposed Model:
Unlike some traditional schools where only high achieving students are selected for accelerated programs or honors courses, ECI students will have the opportunity to earn college credits while in high school. This expectation creates a culture that supports and encourages students who might struggle in other environments. Instead of abruptly moving from a high school environment to a college campus, ECI students begin with one college course—often in the tenth grade—and gradually increase the number of college courses over time.
In the new 9 through 14 College and Career Preparatory schools, "blue chip" employer partners identify the appropriate entry-level positions that students may qualify for upon graduation; employers then work with secondary and post-secondary partners to map the key skills needed to succeed in those positions. Employer partners will also ensure students receive mentoring from industry professionals to help provide opportunities for workplace experiences aligned with the curriculum.
History of the Early College Initiative program at The City University of New York (CUNY)
In partnership with the NYC DOE, CUNY has developed 14 Early College Initiatives, the goal of enabling a broad range of students to earn both a high school diploma and an associate degree (or up to two years of college credit)—at no cost to themselves or their families. In the last three years, several new ECI's have joined with industry partners to form to accomplish the above with the added value of internships, mentoring and opportunities for employment with the industry partners or those similar to them.
As stated by CUNY, the proposed objectives for these latter Early College Initiative are to:
- Blend a rigorous college-prep high school curriculum with the college level coursework required to earn an associate degree in a technology/business discipline and a carefully sequenced set of workplace experiences that prepare students to move seamlessly into high potential jobs.
- Offer a path to a college education and a professional career that includes substantive guidance and coaching from adults through the first two critical years of college and a series of increasingly demanding workplace experiences.
- Remove financial and other barriers to higher education thus allowing significant college-level work to be part of every student's experience.
- Enroll students of all abilities, levels, and backgrounds to ensure that a wide range of students have access to a high quality high school and college education.
- Serve low income young people, first-generation college students, English language learners and students of color –all of whom are statistically underrepresented in higher education
- Provide small, personalized learning environments with 80 to 100 students per grade and no more than 600 students per school.
Frequently asked questions
In response to questions posed by the Faculty Executive Committee (FEC), QCC members of the ECI Steering Committee (including four department chairpersons and several faculty members) met with the FEC on January 8, 2014. The following Question and Answer summary reflects the outcome of that meeting:
Q: Why isn't this project subject to the action of the Academic Senate, the Policy making body of the College?
A: We appreciate the Senate's interest in this early college initiative, but this is not a college policy - it is a departmental initiative. Students will be under the same requirements as any other student in the college. They will be taking one of our currently offered degrees and a small number of courses as non-matriculated students while they are in high school. We currently run several early college initiative programs including College Now, and grant programs such as Career Clusters, the 21st Century Community Learning Center and a Student Improvement Grant in collaboration with Martin Van Buren High school.The new initiative involves degree programs offered by the Business Department and the Engineering Technology Department, in cooperation with SAP and the new high school.
Q: How is the curriculum being organized and directed by academics? Who decides on the course content, the level of content and the level of preparation needed?
A: We are starting with the Business CIS (Computer Information Systems) Program and the Engineering Technology Internet Technology Program to give students a choice. Students will take the exact same courses as any other QCC student in these degree programs. Course content is defined in the course syllabus and approved by the department chair and the department faculty. All courses will be taught by QCC faculty. The instructor will teach these courses at the same level of academic rigor as all other courses.
Q: What level of involvement will the Office of Academic Affairs and members of the academic departments have in the ECI?
A: The Office of Academic Affairs oversees all Academic Departments as well as the Office of Continuing Education and Workforce Development. Academic Affairs will be actively involved in the same way that it is involved in any other program. There are currently ten (10) QCC faculty (including four Chairpersons) serving as members of the Curriculum Planning Subcommittee of the B-Tech Early College Initiative. The program will be implemented by the departments, which report to Academic Affairs. Academic Affairs will be involved just like it has been involved in the Verizon Program.
Note that this is not a 4+2 program. It is a fully integrated high school and college curriculum – meaning students will take some QCC college courses as non-matriculated students while they are completing their high school degree and will earn both high school and college credit for some of the college courses offered. Dual credit enrollment is a nationally recognized framework leading to significant success of students in college retention and graduation rates as well as in high-level grade attainment. Please see the Community College Research Council (CCRC) report, "What we know about Dual Enrollment Programs." In the QCC collaborative initiatives cited above, in fiscal year 2014, we are offering dual credit programming to 3,846 high school students in 20% of high schools located in Queens.
Q: What is the net budget devoted to QCC's involvement with the school? Where will this money come from?
A: The funding for this initiative is coming from a SAP grant for planning purposes, from a DOE/SED grant, and from a standing agreement that CUNY has with the DOE to establish all early college schools. Although allocation of funding for the DOE and QCC is still being determined, all college tuition and associated expenses will be supported by the funding. Additional grants are being written for future funding as well.
Q: Where will the QCC Courses be taught - on campus or the high school? Will QCC faculty be teaching them? Will the faculty be observed by QCC faculty? Will they be members of the PSC and CUNY or DOE?
A: The majority of courses will be taught at QCC. We hope to bus students to QCC. However, some courses may be taught at the high school. All QCC courses will be taught by QCC faculty and faculty will be observed as with any other accredited course of the college.
Q: Is it a 4 + 2 or will students take college courses before getting their high school degree? Will students be admitted to a QCC program prior to getting their high school degree?
A: This is not a 4+2 program. As stated above, it is an integrated curriculum where students will take some college courses before they graduate high school. It will work in a way similar to College Now, Career Clusters and 21st CCLC. Students will enroll as non-matriculated students until such time as they complete their high school degree. They must meet all the required prerequisites before enrolling in QCC courses. They will be enrolled in either the CIS or Internet Technology Program.
Q: What policies will apply to the QCC Courses taught? (DOE or QCC and CUNYpolicies such as Academic Integrity, probation, dismissal, grade policy.)
A: All current QCC policies like Academic Integrity, probation, dismissal, grades, etc. will apply.
Q: Every few years the academic programs are reviewed by either the Office of Academic Affairs and or by external accreditation agencies. Who will review these programs?
A: The academic programs offered will be reviewed in many ways. They will be reviewed as part of the Academic Affairs 5 year program review process. For example, when we perform the Program Review of the Telecommunications Technology Program, we include a review of the Verizon Program (which is also Telecommunications Technology: Corporate Specific). Data is supplied separately. The B-Tech high school will be subject to review by NYSED as any other NYCDOE high school, and CUNY will be monitoring the initiative outcomes.
Q: If a student wishes to change their curriculum and opt out of this program, will their credits be transferable? Will students and their parents be fully informed?
A: If students opt out of the program while still in high school they will either have to transfer to another high school or, if they are at QCC when they request to option out, transfer to another QCC curriculum or to a different college. Courses taken would apply to the transfer in the same way they currently apply. Parents will be fully informed of the program and will need to approve their child's enrollment into B-Tech. (Students begin in 9th grade.) We will follow all FERPA guidelines.
Q: Is this new "degree" as transferable as the other current AAS degrees (within and outside of CUNY)?
A: This is not a new degree. Students will be pursuing one of our current AAS Degree Program in CIS or in Internet Technology.
Q: If a QCC student would like to enroll in the "new" program just for the AAS related courses, would the student be allowed to enroll in the program?
A: Since these are existing courses in existing curricula at the college, any QCC student can enroll.
Q: Will QCC or the DOE approve graduates and confer the AAS degrees?
A: Graduation approval and conferral of the QCC degrees will follow the normal procedure for all QCC graduates. The NYCDOE would approve and confer the high school degrees. Please Note: In the future, there may be consideration for a new Business Technology AAS degree program. Development and approval of such a program would follow all the standing Governance procedures, and the program would be available to all QCC students.
2012 ECI outcomes reported by CUNY: 87.1% graduation rate (20% higher than the city average), with ECI graduates earning an average of 21.5 college credits prior to graduation. The retention rate of 2011 graduates who remained enrolled in college after a year was 70%. In 2011-13, 2,367 ECI students were enrolled in 8,411 college courses, with 87% receiving a C grade or better. Approximately 77% of students currently enrolled in ECI schools are either Hispanic or African American.

"Wealth is a social creation and should be controlled by society as a whole," is a quote from Toward Freedom: Democratic Socialist Theory and Practice, a piece written by DSA members Joseph Schwartz and Jason Schulman. This was the defining statement that set me on a path towards left politics and socialism.
Socialism can be a hard concept to define; as Michael Harrington states in Socialism: Past and Future, "We should speak of socialisms." I find the opening quote from our own DSA literature to be truly definitive of what socialism calls for. The idea that wealth is a social creation rests at the crux of socialist theory; understanding that idea helped to clarify for me the opinions of this movement.
Lots of people have a poor idea of what socialism means. When leftists try to explain what it means, we too often get caught up in the massive amount of theory that is out there. When we say that wealth is a social creation, and the economy should be built upon democratic ownership and focused on the needs of people, we provide an accurate and simple vision of socialism. I have found that using these basic principles in my own explanations allows me to engage in more meaningful conversations and build a greater degree of interest in the movement. I believe that this is a more effective technique for clearing up so much of the confusion that exists.
Understanding the idea that wealth is a social creation on a large scale is vital to moving away from the current capitalist system. Many people do not realize this fact of nature regarding wealth. It is ingrained within our minds from the time that we are born that if someone works hard enough they can achieve anything. The focus is completely centered around the individual. The truth is that successful individuals would not be where they are if it weren't for others, if it weren't for the multitude of interactions and relationships that they had. No matter if these interactions and relationships were between the seller and the consumer, the teacher and the student, or the individual and the government. They were all instrumental in that person's success. This is a critical concept that people must become aware if we wish to make progress.
When introducing people to what socialism is about, let's stick to these basic principles: Wealth is a social creation, the economy should be based upon democratic ownership, and the economy should be focused on the needs of people. A society where all people have an understanding of the true nature of wealth and our social relationships is an egalitarian and democratic society, a socialist society.

Reports: Utah GOP Gov. Huntsman to resign, become Obama's China ambassador
Several Utah media outlets report tonight that GOP Gov. Jon Huntsman will step down and accept President Obama's nomination as US ambassador to China.
Governor Jon M. Huntsman Jr. will resign and accept an appointment as ambassador to China, ABC 4 has confirmed.
A press conference has been called for Saturday morning at the White House to announce the appointment.
The appointment will most likely mean that Gary Herbert will become Utah's next governor. Since Huntsman has only served a few months into his second term, a special election will most likely be called in 2010.
The U.S. Senate will have to confirm the appointment.
And: "2News has confirmed through multiple sources that Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr. may resign and accept the position of Ambassador to China in the Obama Administration. We hear the official announcement may come as early as Saturday. Governor Huntsman served as Ambassador to Singapore under President George H. W. Bush."
Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. will resign from office to accept a nomination to become the ambassador to China.
Sources tell The Salt Lake Tribune that an announcement is scheduled for Saturday. Huntsman is in Washington, D.C., but calls to his spokeswoman and various staffers were not returned Friday night.
Huntsman, who had been mentioned as a potential Republican contender for the White House, has previously served as the Deputy United States Trade Representative and was the ambassador Singapore. He speaks Mandarin Chinese and he and his wife, Mary Kaye, have adopted a daughter from China.
Huntsman had been scheduled to travel to China next week as part of a delegation of Western governors visiting the nation to discuss climate change, alternative energy and clean air technologies.
That trip was canceled due to concerns by some of the governors over the swine flu outbreak.
Huntsman will be replaced by Lt. Gov. Gary Herbert. Contacted Friday evening, Joe Demma, Herbert's chief of staff, said neither he nor the lieutenant governor knew anything about any Huntsman appointment.
No wonder he's been skipping out on GOP meetings lately.
Guess David Plouffe has nothing to fear now.
You know who won't miss Huntsman? Tea Party protesters who booed him on Tax Day.

It would create a £33 billion group that would rank among the ten biggest on the London stock market.
New co-chairman Patrick Cescau has emailed non-executive directors asking whether they believe a similar move by Shell has ramifications for his own company.
Two weeks ago, Royal Dutch and Shell Transport, which are separately listed in Amsterdam and London, announced they would merge to form a single company with a single management team under chief executive Jeroen van der Veer. Significantly, he is also a nonexecutive director at Unilever.
Though Unilever recently simplified its structure by creating a board of executives and non-executives, it still consists of two separate companies, each with an executive chairman, Cescau and Antony Burgmans.
The British operation is worth £14 billion and the Dutch arm is valued at £19 billion. While the merged group would be quoted in London, it is not clear whether the new headquarters would be in Britain or the Netherlands.
Unilever has not been criticised as fiercely as Shell for its cumbersome boardroom structure, but it has disappointed investors with a substantial period of underperformance.
And with the departure of Niall FitzGerald, the City heavyweight who has headed the company since 1996, the group, whose brands include Birds Eye, Domestos, Surf and Hellmann's, is seen as vulnerable to pressure for change. Shareholders are pushing for a simpler structure and less bureaucracy.
One major investor said: 'It's like the Civil Service. There are layers and layers of people all holding pointless meetings and making no decisions. Unilever has not had the problems of Shell, but let's hope it doesn't come to that before the company decides to change and speed up its decision making processes.'
Cescau has already warned investors that the company has strayed from FitzGerald's much-vaunted 'path to growth' strategy, which was supposed to refine the group's huge stable of brands and deliver consistently above-average earnings increases. Thirdquarter sales were down by 4% and profits slipped by 2%.
Senior insiders said that if the company did decide to merge its two operating arms, this was unlikely to take place until next year.
One of the problems identified by shareholders is that a new chairman is appointed while the incumbent is still in place.
The newcomer is unlikely to be able to make changes while the more senior man is still around. By the time the successor takes over, he has become too steeped in company culture to retain an appetite for change.

Another red spot, by Jove
By Ron Cowen, 15:54 PM April 15, 2008
Attention, sky watchers. Jupiter has a second red spot.
Formally called Oval BA, it's about half the length of Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot, and nearly the same color. Oval BA derives from a trio of white storms discovered in the 1930s, which merged to form a single storm center in 2000.
The oval stayed white until December 2005, when it became brown. By February, Oval BA had turned red, reports amateur astronomer Christopher Go of Cebu, the Philippines. Scientists don't know whether its sc...

A New York tribunal rejected Vivendi's claim that the pay-off Messier had sought had not been approved by the board. Vivendi said it would contest the tribunal's decision.
The group fired Messier last July amid an investor revolt about its finances. Messier had embarked on a massive buying spree - amassing more than $30bn (£18.2bn) of debt - to try to transform Vivendi into a media and entertainment giant to rival AOL Time Warner.
Messier claimed he was owed $20m in severance written into the US part of his contract.
The arbitration tribunal rejected Vivendi's claim that this termination pact be voided.
The tribunal's decision will also infuriate shareholders, some of whom have banded together via a class-action lawsuit in the US to try to prove Messier misled them about the company's health in the last months of his tenure.
Successor Jean-Rene Fourtou has pursued a fire sale of assets that included Vivendi's publishing unit, its internet holdings and art works in an effort to turn the company around.Reuse content

Patient Comments: Abdominal Adhesions - Symptoms
Describe the symptoms associated with your abdominal adhesions.
Main Article on Abdominal Adhesions (Scar Tissue)
Comment from: lulu smith, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: May 09
I have had pain for over 5 months in my belly, intestinal and cervical area on the right side that affects my ability to go to the bathroom, hurts, and swells low and up the right side. Tests show nothing except scan shows something perhaps left from prior surgery, a hernia in belly button area, a small but growing tumor on the adrenal gland and I know there is a clot catcher in there somewhere. I had surgery in my twenties for a baby problem, I also had my tubes tied in my thirties, and was treated for ulcers and diverticulitis in my thirties and forties. I suffered with a deep vein thrombosis in my leg in 2008 and 3 entries across my stomach and down my leg, with the last one jerked out too fast leaving me in agony across my lower abdomen. Unfortunately, also my father beat and kicked me with his work boots. So there seem to be reasons to look at abdominal adhesions.
Comment from: MsTamara, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: October 21
I have had five surgeries and my body builds up scar tissue and abdominal adhesions because with every surgery they have had to remove a lot. I am always in pain and I can hardly take it. What makes me sad is that every doctor tells me there is nothing they can do. So in other words I have to live the rest of my life in this horrible pain. It even hurts when I sit down. Walking is horrible, and when I sit for a long time and I stand up I feel like crying it hurts so badly. There have been times when I have wondered to myself, why I should have to spend the rest of my life in pain. I have been hurting for 10 years now but for the last four years it has gotten worse. I can't take it anymore I wish I had some help.
Comment from: Kitkat, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: August 26
In 2005 I got partial hysterectomy, and two days later had internal bleeding. Now I have a scar straight past belly button. Three years later in 2008 woke up in severe pain and had emergency surgery for abdominal adhesion and blockage. Then three years later 2011 same thing. Now I'm going through same bloating, look pregnant, and have constipation. Just waiting, it is now 3 years.
Comment from: tummytrouble, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: December 17
Adhesions are nothing to play with! When they have blocked your bowel it is a pain that exceeds the 0-10 scale. It's been 3 months since I was cleaned stem to sternum of abdominal adhesions. Within 6 weeks I was in excruciating pain and vomiting stool! The six attempts at getting a nasogastric tube in place were unsuccessful and gave me a severe nose bleed to the point that I was vomiting not only stool but my own blood. Finally the decision was made to insert a tube into my stomach to drain it. It was the only thing that relieved the pain. I am now still with the stomach tube and on TPN (total parenteral nutrition) because I lost 25lbs in 7 to 10 days. Since then I've only been able to gain 5lbs. Eating is a chore. I have PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder) from the whole experience sometimes I scream out in pain while I'm sleeping! This has been a horrible experience but thankfully I finally got my doctor to listen when I told them something was wrong because my stool looked like little worms! Fecal incontinence was also a big problem!
Comment from: Sylvadoll, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: December 17
I believe I may have abdominal adhesions. I had my gall bladder removed laparoscopically in 2009. About a year ago I started having this intense pain around my belly button. It feels like pins and needles most of the time, but occasionally it feels like someone is stabbing me from the inside. The pain is localized to the area that was cut, my belly button, straight up the abdomen and it stops right before my sternum. I also developed keloids after surgery. The pain gets worse when I lay down. I cannot even just get up anymore. I have to roll over then slowly push myself up. When I do that I feel this tugging sensation in my abdomen. The pain also worsens during my menstrual period and slowly goes away after it is over.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Osiris Eldridge scored 11 points to lead three Illinois State players in double figures as the Redbirds held off short-handed Wichita State 49-46 Tuesday night.
Emmanuel Holloway and Boo Richardson each scored 10 points for Illinois State (10-3, 2-0 Missouri Valley Conference), which earned its second straight conference road victory.
Wichita State (7-6, 0-2 MVC) was led by 16 points each from P.J. Couisnard and Phil Thomasson.
The Shockers led 24-23 at halftime, but Illinois State took control early in the second half. The Redbirds went on a 12-0 run that included two Richardson 3-pointers to go up 35-24 with 14 minutes left in the game.
J.T. Durley scored his Wichita State's first second-half basket 33 seconds later, and the Shockers slowly began to climb back in the game and pulled within two points twice.
Wichita State trimmed the lead to 44-43 with less than 2 minutes to play, but Illinois State's Dominitrix Johnson hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 1:09 left to put the Redbirds back up by four.
A Couisnard 3-pointer with 18.4 seconds remaining made it 48-46. Eldridge hit a free throw to stretch the Redbird lead to three, and a last-second shot for Wichita State rimmed out.
The Shockers, who shot 28.3 percent for the game, were playing without two starters. Point guard Matt Braeuer suffered a concussion late in Saturday's home loss to Drake - his third concussion since joining Wichita State - while forward Ramon Clemente had surgery Monday on a fractured finger on his left hand. Both players are out indefinitely.

The Evenings with History series, sponsored by the University History Institute, features presentations by UALR faculty members sharing their current research. Although these talks are aimed at a general audience, each offers insight into the real workings of historical scholarship. The nationally-recognized series covers a variety of times, areas, and subjects. Many of the presentations illuminate current affairs. The format also allows for questions and discussion.
This year's meetings will be held at the Ottenheimer Auditorium in the Historic Arkansas Museum at 200 E. Third Street in Little Rock. Historic Arkansas's downtown location and the museum's adjacent parking lot at Third and Cumberland make the sessions convenient and pleasant to attend. Refreshments and an informal atmosphere encourage the interchange of ideas. Refreshments are served at 7:00 p.m., and the talk begins at 7:30 p.m.
Come experience the joy of history in a truly historic setting!
An individual subscription to the series, at $50 annually, includes these benefits:
–Admission to all six lectures.
A joint subscription to the series, at $90 annually, offers couples and friends a savings of $10.
A Fellow of the Institute, at $250 annually, receives admission to the six lectures plus an invitation to special presentations for Fellows only. This often includes a private evening with a noted author.
A Life Membership is available at $1,000 and includes the benefits of a Fellow.
Corporate Sponsorships are available at a $250 minimum contribution.
Regular Registered Undergraduate and Graduate Students at UALR may attend the lectures free of charge.
Subscribers to the series help support historical research. The presenters donate their time, and the University History Institute uses all proceeds from the series to encourage research at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. In recent years annual Institute grants, made possible by the Evenings with History series, have made major purchases of historical research materials for UALR. Subscriptions and donations to the Institute are tax deductible as allowed by law.

"Music and Healing in Colonial Latin America"
Across cultures and time, music's healing properties and mental effects have been recognized by healers, lay persons, and researchers. In seventeenth and eighteenth-century Latin America, native healers, missionaries and priests incorporated different forms of music into their rituals for physical and spiritual healing. Increasing contact between native peoples, regular and secular clergy, settlers, and enslaved peoples from different regions and cultural backgrounds produced a wide variety of music used for healing across Spanish colonies in the Americas. This talk will investigate the ways in which song and dance were defined and used as part of the healing rituals, as well as controversies and cultural exchange related to these musical performances.

"Argument, Proof, and the Judgment of God: The Ordeal in Medieval Theory and Practice"
Irrational, violent, cruel: few phenomena seem to embody the pejorative sense of the word "medieval" better than the judicial ordeal (trial by fire, by water, by battle, and the like). But in medieval Europe the ordeal was intimately bound up with modes of thought and legal processes the are more recognizable to us. The first part of this talk will explore medieval theories of the efficacy of the ordeal (called the "judgment of God") as well as medieval criticisms of it. The second part of the talk will explore the ordeal in practice: the kinds of cases in which the ordeal was used, the frequency with which it was used, and, especially, the ways in which the ordeal-or the threat of the ordeal-could be deployed alongside other, more "rational" modes of proof and argumentation.
December 6, 2016 — Carl Moneyhon
"Civil War Memory and Cultural Divides in Arkansas"
Any perusal of the editorial page of the Arkansas DemocratGazette or a stroll through the blogging world will show that Arkansans possess starkly different ideas about the character of the American Civil War and especially the South's role in it. While a few insist that the war was fought over slavery and that the Confederate cause was dishonorable, possibly a larger number see the conflict as one over states' rights and an honorable fight. Indeed, some see the war as still on, a conflict between an overweening national government and the state, a fight over who should control everything from marriage to health care and education. This talk discusses how such contrasting views of the war emerged among Arkansans, disagreements that ultimately undermine the development of a collective identity among the state's people.
February 7, 2017 — James Ross,
"Some Degree of Separation: The Struggle for Equal Education in Little Rock in the 1960s"
The 1957 Central High crisis was one of the defining moments in the struggle for civil rights in America. After federal courts ordered the desegregation of Little Rock's schools, a new generation of white leaders arose who accepted a small degree of desegregation if it saved the public schools and prevented more extreme policies. By examining the experiences of a student, a civil rights leader, and one white school board member, this lecture will explain how white city leaders devised ways to control and slow desegregation and minimally comply with court orders. These actions established the trajectory of the Little Rock School District for the next fifty years, as white leaders exhibited little concern for equal education but maintained control of the district and its finances, despite a student population that became majority black by 1976.
March 7, 2017 — Brian Mitchell,
"Exploring the Diversity of New Orleans' Free Black Community"
New Orleans is often compared to one of its signature dishes, gumbo. Gumbo is a complex stew which incorporates the culinary traditions of West African, Native American, and Gallic settlers. Like gumbo, New Orleans is an amalgamation and its unique culture could not exist without all of its component communities. Early historians, anthropologists, and linguists who studied the city's communities attempted to address the black community monolithically. In doing so, they discovered perplexing levels of complexity which still present challenges to identifying what it means to be black in New Orleans. My discussion will explore New Orleans's Free Black Community by examining its Free Black Register. The Mayor's Register of Free Blacks in the City of New Orleans was signed by Free Blacks residing in the city between 1840 and 1864. The register, though incomplete, provides a fascinating glimpse into the African American community of Antebellum New Orleans and challenges many popular assumptions in regard to race, immigration, and cultural assimilation.
April 4, 2017 — Jeff Kyong-McClain,
"A Wall of Separation between Temple and State? The Communist Party and Religion in Contemporary China"
In recent years, observers have noted an explosion of religious belief in China, rapidly increasing membership rolls of the legal religions (Buddhism, Daoism, Islam, Protestantism and Catholicism), but also of many heterodox sects as well, In many ways, this explosion can be understood as a natural result of the Communist Party-directed "Reform and Opening Up" policies of the last four decades. Natural or not, however, the Party looks on with some trepidation, fearful of potential social instability and of their declining control over the people. This talk will explain the history of "Temple and State" relations in modern China, introduce the many ambiguities of the current situation, and speculate on some possible future scenarios.

| gufsmile chapter 3 . 4/7/2010
I love it! The revenge scenario is fantastic! Will we ever find out how Veronica pulled it off? Also, a nice touch is that you really see how Logan is always watching Veronica from these added scenes. He thinks he doesn't like her, but she is always the most interesting person to him in these scenes, just like in the show while he still supposedly hates her.
| usernames are for losers chapter 3 . 4/7/2010
I liked this payback, something that Veronica could definitely pull off
Looking forward to more
| hoffi coffi chapter 3 . 4/7/2010

Great chapter! I love that it's told from Logan's POV and that it's possible to see some insight into Duncan's mind. I also really like the idea of the missing scenes. Please update soon.
| hoffi coffi chapter 2 . 4/1/2010
I think I like this one even more than your first chapter, interesting to see some insight into Duncan's state of mind as well. And Logan's thoughts about Veronica are interesting, I'll look forward to your next one :)

A little tight 05/13/2014
This review is from: Subjekt TNT-QM1253 40mm Headphones with Mic - Gray
Sound quality is not bad at all for the 16.00 price tag.
Easily adjustable
Aesthetically pleasing
Can't wear these for more than an hour at a time. I wear glasses, so these things tend to mash my ear into my glasses. No matter how I adjust them, it's never a comfortable fit.
Did you find this review helpful? Yes / No Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

I've spent years hating everyone around me just so I don't have to hate myself.
And now it's time to face myself.
Charlie, 11, waste of time. Didn't want to waste a first kiss on a popular kid, right about that.
Joel, 12, heartbreaker. I cried a lot but it was childish, Charlie didn't want us going out so we didn't.
Will Tom Will Tom, 12, stupid. Constantly flipped between the two, best friends, games of spin the bottle.
Dan, 13, thought it was love. I was 13 and he was 21, he made me feel safe, comfortable, loved.
Rory, 14, lonely. His girlfriend had broken up with him, I went back two or three times, I told Dan, both ended.
John, 14, unhappy. I just wanted to be free from the memory of Dan, and myself, I guess that's when it started.
Ash, 15/16, endless. I don't even remember the relationship, I cheated on him but he would've carried on, I didn't want to.
Claire, 16, broken. Her family.. it was all so complicated and I was never good enough to her, I never knew what to do.
Gareth, 16/17, fighting. I don't know what we were fighting for much of the time but we were both hurting and he was falling apart, I thought I could fix him, I only made him worse.
Epsilon, 17, sex. He offered me something I thought I wanted and I grabbed for it and he was married, it wasn't real sex, barely.
Florian, 17, nothing. Conversations and stupidity until I passed him onto someone I thought he would be good for and he turned out to be a jackass.
Aero, 17, weird. Thought we would get together, got upset when we wouldn't, tried to talk me into sex chatting on the internet or something.
Nathan, 17, sex. Did talk me into sex chatting on the internet, ad sex on camera, and toys, and incest being okay.
Sam, 17, he thought it was love. We had sex a few times but it never really meant anything to me, not that I remember anyway, I know I didn't really know what to do and the sex was damn good.
Will, 17/18, love? We were together for a year, he still says he isn't giving up, he told me he would never change and I tell myself the relationship hurt me... it did didn't it?
I don't know what's real about all those people, I don't know how much I've twisted, how much has become lies.. they all trusted me (except the first two) they all.. thought I meant something to them..
