How can I reduce my high blood pressure? I do walk 40 minutes everyday, nothing diagnosed from blood test and ECG, everything was normal.
High blood pressure is a condition which occurs when the pressure of the blood flow through the arteries increases, resulting in intense pressure. Hypertension occurs when the systolic pressure (pressure at which the heart pumps blood) and the diastolic pressure (pressure at which the heart relaxes) is more than 140 and 90 respectively.
Symptoms of high blood pressure are:
- Shortness of breath: If you have high blood pressure, then you may experience regular shortness of breath.
- Headaches: You may experience headaches on a regular basis.
- Weakness of the heart muscles: Hypertension results in a weak heart which may not be able to pump blood properly.
- Narrowing of blood vessels: Narrowing of blood vessels may lead to other complications such as failure of the kidneys, heart, and brain.
- Vision problems: It may lead to vision problems as blood vessels in the eye may be affected.
The various causes of blood pressure are:
- Tobacco: If you smoke on a regular basis, you put yourself at an increased risk of getting affected by blood pressure.
- Lifestyle: Not exercising regularly, eating a sodium-rich diet are all factors which can increase the chances of hypertension.
- Age: The chances of getting affected by hypertension increase as you age.
- Weight: Being excessively obese also increases your risk of getting affected by hypertension.
- Diabetes: Being diabetic makes you more prone to getting affected by diabetes.
- Hyperthyroidism: If you have an overactive thyroid gland, then it may result in hypertension.
Hypertension may result in various health complications in the body such as:
- Aneurysm: This is a disorder of the blood vessels which causes the blood vessels to bulge and weaken.
- Heart attack: High blood pressure causes the arteries to harden and thicken which may lead to a heart attack.
- Metabolic syndrome: This syndrome refers to a group of complications such as high bad cholesterol levels and insulin levels in the body.
- Impaired brain functioning: It may also impair your ability to learn and impact your cognitive skills.

A heart attack can be fatal for any person, and it is necessary for you to know about the signs and symptoms of a heart attack. This will enable you to act early in case you experience the symptoms. Heart attack, also known as myocardial infarction, is a severe condition defined by the death of the heart muscles due to the loss of blood supply. Blood loss commonly occurs due to the blockage of a coronary artery.
Signs of a heart attack
There are many symptoms and signs of a heart attack which you should know. The symptoms usually vary from person to person. Here is a list of the common signs of a heart attack:
- Chest pain and discomfort: Chest pain is the basic heart attack symptom which occurs in different forms. The chest pain is likely to cause pressure, fullness and a squeezing sensation. It starts from the centre of the chest and may spread to other limbs of the body, such as the head, upper abdomen, back, shoulder, neck or throat. It may reoccur in the chest again.
- Shortness of breath: A gasping sensation or feeling of shortness of breath may be experienced. Such difficult or laboured breathing is known as dyspnea. The shortness of breath may occur before or after the chest pain.
- Nausea and vomiting: A feeling of nausea or sickness in the stomach may be experienced. It may be accompanied by belching or burping. In some cases, the heart attack may be associated with a feeling of indigestion. Nausea is commonly experienced by women. The nausea may lead to vomiting.
- Sweating: Perspiration or sweating occurs during a heart attack and the patient experiences cold sweats in excessive amounts. The sweat will appear in spite of not being active or working out. Due to the clogged arteries, the heart needs to make extra efforts to pump the blood. This produces extra sweat for keeping the body temperature low. Cold sweats and night sweats are also likely symptoms, which indicate a heart attack.
- Fatigue: Fatigue is another symptom of a heart attack. Exhaustion is caused by a heart attack because of the added stress on the heart for pumping of blood. Feeling tired without any reason might indicate some trouble. Fatigue is more common in women. Light-headedness and dizziness may also be associated with a heart attack.
Heart palpitations may also be experienced sometimes. You should consult a doctor immediately after experiencing any of these symptoms of heart attack.

A heart transplant is an operation in which a failing, diseased heart is replaced with a healthier, donor heart. Heart transplant is a treatment that's usually reserved for people who have tried medications or other surgeries, but their conditions haven't sufficiently improved.
While a heart transplant is a major operation, your chance of survival is good, with appropriate follow-up care.
When faced with a decision about having a heart transplant, know what to expect of the heart transplant process, the surgery itself, potential risks and follow-up care.
Why it's done
Heart transplants are performed when other treatments for heart problems haven't worked, leading to heart failure. In adults, heart failure can be caused by several conditions, including:
- A weakening of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy)
- Coronary artery disease
- Heart valve disease
- A heart problem you're born with (congenital heart defect)
- Dangerous recurring abnormal heart rhythms (ventricular arrhythmias) not controlled by other treatments
- Amyloidosis
- Failure of a previous heart transplant
- In children, heart failure is most often caused by either a congenital heart defect or a cardiomyopathy.
Another organ transplant may be performed at the same time as a heart transplant (multiorgan transplant) in people with certain conditions at select medical centers. Multiorgan transplants include:
- Heart-kidney transplant. This procedure may be an option for some people with kidney failure in addition to heart failure.
- Heart-liver transplant. This procedure may be an option for people with certain liver and heart conditions.
- Heart-lung transplant. Rarely, doctors may suggest this procedure for some people with severe lung and heart diseases, if the conditions aren't able to be treated by only a heart transplant or lung transplant.
Factors that may affect your eligibility for a heart transplant
A heart transplant isn't the right treatment for everyone. Certain factors may mean you're not a good candidate for a heart transplant. While each case is considered individually by a transplant center, a heart transplant may not be appropriate if you:
- Are an advanced age that would interfere with the ability to recover from transplant surgery
- Have another medical condition that could shorten your life, regardless of receiving a donor heart, such as a serious kidney, liver or lung disease
- Have an active infection
- Have a recent personal medical history of cancer
- Are unwilling or unable to make lifestyle changes necessary to keep your donor heart healthy, such as not drinking alcohol or not smoking
What happens after the transplant?
Most people leave hospital within about four weeks of the operation, but depending on your condition, you may need to stay in hospital for longer.
In the first few months after your surgery you will need to spend a lot of time visiting the hospital – you might even need to stay near the transplant centre. Your transplant team will talk to you about practical arrangements for after your surgery.
Although you will be weak after the operation, recovery can be very quick. It is important to build up your level of activity gradually. You should avoid activities involving lifting and pushing until your breastbone is fully healed, which can take up to three or four months.
Once you feel fit and able, you can start doing things like light vacuuming or light gardening.
There are many people worldwide who suffer from heart problems (irrespective of their age and sex). While in most cases, the condition improves with proper treatment and medications, in few, the condition is beyond treatment. A heart transplant comes as a savior for such people. It gives them a new lease of life. The transplant involves replacing a heart that has stopped functioning normally (damaged or may be diseased) with a healthy heart (from the donor).
Over the years, heart transplant has undergone a sea of change. With the advancement of science and technology, the success rate in a heart transplant has seen an exponential rise.
People who need a heart transplant:
A heart transplant may be essential in the following cases.
- A congenital heart disorder (a person born with a heart problem).
- Defective or diseased heart valves.
- Amyloidosis (a condition where amyloid fibrils get deposed in the tissues and organs of the body intracellularly or extracellularly).
- Problems in the coronary artery.
- Cardiomyopathy (A condition where the muscles of the heart become weak, thereby affecting the normal functioning of the heart).
- A heart transplant that failed previously.
- Ventricular Arrhythmias (a condition that originates in the ventricles, in ventricular arrhythmias, the heart rhythms are abnormally rapid).
However, under the following circumstances, a heart transplant may not be a wise idea
- People with infections or chronic lung or kidney disorders.
- A case of cancer in the past.
- Age may be a deciding factor.The recovery from a heart transplant may not be 100% in an aged person.
The heart transplant procedure:
The first step in heart transplant is the availability of a suitable donor. In this case, a donor is a person whose brain is dead but the other organs, including the heart, is healthy and functioning properly. A surgeon performs three operations in a heart transplant.
- The first operation is essentially the removal of the healthy heart from the donor body. The heart is kept in a cool place, preferably ice (to keep the heart alive and in good condition until the heart transplant takes place).
- In the second operation, the recipient's damaged or diseased heart is operated out.The situation may, however, be complicated if the patient had a heart surgery in the past.
- The third and the final surgery involves implanting the donor heart into the recipient body (the recipient's upper heart chambers and the atrial back wall are however not removed).
- Once the implantation takes place (without any complications), the surgeons sew the heart into place.
- The blood vessels are then connected back to the heart and the lungs. The heart starts beating again once it is warmed up.
- To enable the patient to receive the nutrients and oxygen (during the heart transplant), the patient is put on a heart-lung machine.
- If no complications develop after the transplant, the patient is discharged within a fortnight.
In some unfortunate cases, there may be organ rejection. The condition arises when the recipient's immune cells see the transplanted heart as non-self (foreign agents). If left unattended, it may damage the heart. Immunosuppressant drugs can help avert the rejection. However, it is important to monitor the patient closely for any infections that may arise to the administration of the immunosuppressants. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Cardiologist.
High blood pressure, which is often a result of hypertension, is the leading risk factor for a stroke, which in turn leads to severe and long-term disability, including death. Managing your blood sugar levels is the most critical thing you can do to lessen your risk of a stroke, and you should leave no stone unturned in keeping your blood pressure at optimum levels.
What causes a stroke
A stroke, which is often referred to as a brain attack, takes place when the supply of blood to a particular region of the brain is cut off. The brain cells which are deprived of the oxygen and glucose die, and when the ailment is not caught early, a permanent damage to the brain can follow.
How is high blood pressure related to a stroke
Uncontrolled blood pressure levels can increase the risk of a stroke by about four to six times. With the passage of time, hypertension causes atherosclerosis as well as hardening of major arteries. This often results in blockages of small blood vessels present in the brain. With high blood pressure for a long period of time, the blood vessels of the brain become weak and burst. This way the risk of a stroke is directly related to the high levels of blood pressure.
What can you do to keep your blood pressure under control
There is a lot you can do to keep the chance of a stroke at bay. But the first thing you should try doing is keeping your blood pressure level normal. Some simple lifestyle changes can help you to lead a risk-free life and therefore, you should first aim at shedding off those extra pounds along your waistline.
In general, a man with a waistline measuring over 40 inches and a woman with that over 35 inches is at a higher risk of suffering from high blood pressure as well as a stroke. You should exercise regularly for at least half an hour and eat a well-regulated diet loaded with fibre, proteins, potassium and Omega-3 fatty acids. Stay away from junk food and maintain a food diary where you can jot down your honest food habits.
It is very important to lower down your high blood pressure in order to avoid risks of stroke. But if you fail to do so even after following a healthy routine, then it is crucial to consult a doctor who can help you by prescribing medications that are right for your medical condition.
My sgpt (77), sgot (48) and cholesterol (234) becomes high inspite of all food precautions if I stop exercise and walk. My hba1c is 6.7 and my ige result is 51. I am diagnosed with nickel allergy in food. What could be the reasons?
Cholesterol is generally regarded as something bad for the health. As a part of diet, everyone tries to avoid anything that has cholesterol in it. What needs to be understood is that not all cholesterol is bad. There is also good cholesterol, which is actually very essential for body functions. This is required for the production of essential hormones. Inadequate amounts of good cholesterol can lead to problems ranging from simple hormonal imbalances to severe issues like infertility.
The following are some food items, which contain sufficient amounts of good cholesterol and should find a place in your plate. They are essential for various body functions including hormone formation.
Avocado oil: Most oil is considered bad, but avocado oil contains about 70% of good cholesterol and should be used for its heart-healthy benefits. Being a great antioxidant, it protects the heart by reducing inflammation and by improving blood pressure. Eating whole avocado is also beneficial for the heart and the body as a whole.
Buckwheat: This whole grain is rich in many vitamins, quite a few minerals, and is a good provider of dietary fiber. It is also gluten-free and is rich in antioxidants, making it extremely cardio-friendly.
Soy: Too much saturated fat in the diet cannot be digested and the liver converts these and stores it, which adds to obesity. Soy which is a good replacement for animal fat and even dairy products can help improve cholesterol levels and prevent fat accumulation.
Salmon: This is one of the most heart-friendly food items, which is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and good cholesterol. It lowers triglyceride levels and provides a good amount of protein for the body.
Spinach: The cholesterol which settles against the blood vessels is washed off by consuming spinach – in regular quantities at regular intervals. It is also the richest source of lutein, which is known as guardian against aging diseases including hypertension.
Go the nutty way: While most would consider nuts as rich in oils, truth is they are loaded with good cholesterol. Therefore, whether it is almonds or pecans, ground nuts or walnuts, nuts are great for the heart. They are also rich in minerals including calcium, copper, magnesium, and potassium and contain various vitamins. So about a teaspoon of chopped nuts should be on your plate on any given day.
- Dark chocolate: Again, like nuts, most of us tend to avoid chocolate, but these restrictions are only for the white ones with sugar. The dark one is extremely healthy for the heart with loaded antioxidants, which prevents clogging of arteries. It is also rich in flavonoids, which are useful in controlling blood pressure and other heart diseases. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a General Physician.

Miller '13 Receives Lincoln Laureate
Senior Ben Miller is no stranger to the notion of hard work paying off. Throughout his undergraduate career, Miller has managed to maintain almost a perfect GPA while serving multiple leadership roles in student organizations. Miller's academic excellence and extracurricular involvement has earned him the most highly endowed student honorary in the state.
Each year The Lincoln Illinois Academy acknowledges outstanding seniors' from every four-year- degree granting colleges and universities in Illinois. Students are given the Lincoln Laureate award for excelling in and outside of the classroom. 53 students were honored at a ceremony held at the Old Capitol, House of Representatives in Springfield, IL. Miller was nominated by a former dean in the College of Business.
"I was extremely shocked. It's about 40,000 students here. It was nice to hear that you were the top one."
An honor student that has been at the top of his class since freshman year, Miller knew earlier on that he wanted to leave a lasting impression on the University.
"The College of Business understands that being involved with other things outside of your major enhances leadership skills and professional development. I knew I wanted to have the largest impact on this school that I possibly could."
This past summer Miller helped coordinate a mission trip Uganda, Africa with Enactus; a project based organization focused on empowering individuals through entrepreneurial action. For two weeks, he and other business students had the opportunity to teach small business owners some fundamental entrepreneurial skills.
"I guess that was an instance that I got my name out there. I was also able to provide opportunities to business students to travel abroad and spread some business knowledge." While the promising entrepreneur has high hopes for success in the corporate world, he is dedicated to giving back to those less fortunate.
"My passion was first sparked by my trip to Uganda. I would like to focus on that realm to find management tools and provide them with the resources to make their lives easier." Starting in July, Miller will be working as a Business Technology Analyst at Deloitte in Chicago.

FSMLR2AE: Quark MiNi CR2 Gen 2 Cool White LED
The second generation XP-G LED lights are 20% brighter on all output levels while maintaining the same runtimes as previous models.
Minis are perfect everyday carry lights with a simple twist interface. Durable construction and ample knurling for a sure grip make this a light that's up for any challenge. Like all FOURSEVENS lights, Minis use the latest in LED technology to achieve incredible brightness for their size. Available in either common alkaline AA or long shelf life, higher output, lithium CR2 and CR123 models along with three levels of brightness and four hidden modes so you can have your light any way you want it.
Operating your MiNi is simple. Make sure its batteries are inserted with the positive side (+) toward the head. To turn the MiNi on, tighten the bezel (the "head" of the light) fully down. The MiNi will turn on when the bezel is fully tightened, and turn off when the bezel is loosened.
Selecting Regular Outputs
To select a different level of constant output, turn the MiNi off and then on again within 1 second. This will select the next level of constant output in the following sequence:
Low -> Medium -> High
If the MiNi is turned off for 2 seconds or longer, it will revert back to Low.
Selecting Special Outputs
The MiNi has 4 special output modes: Strobe, S.O.S., Beacon (Hi), and Beacon (Lo). To access these modes, quickly switch through two full 'cycles' of the regular outputs, starting with Low. These two full cycles must be completed within 3 seconds:
Low -> Medium -> High -> Low -> Medium -> High -> Special Outputs
You can continue to cycle through the special outputs in the following sequence:
Strobe -> S.O.S. -> Beacon (high) -> Beacon (low)
After Beacon (Lo) mode, the output reverts back to Regular Low. Both Beacon modes will first flash 5 times and then once every 10 seconds.

Notes, quotes and gloats
Driving Mister Stallman: My 1994 Jetta (with the specialized California license plate "GNU LNUX") and I had a special guest over the last few days: the Free Software Foundation's Richard Stallman. RMS, as he is known, needed transportation from Palo Alto to Santa Cruz on Saturday morning, and at 8 a.m., we appeared at the doorstep of the home at which he was staying for a ride to KUSP in Santa Cruz for an appointment with a radio show.
After a spot of tea, we loaded up the Jetta and headed southwest. For the most part, RMS kept to his work on his laptop in front of him as he rode in the passenger seat (no, I don't know what he was working on — I didn't look) but we did have time to talk about some of the upcoming events — the radio show, his Op-Ed piece running in the Sunday Santa Cruz Sentinel and his talk on Monday at Cabrillo College. He also commented on the road noise my car makes, but after 274,000 faithful miles, the Jetta can play Sousa marches with every passing mile for all I care.
On Tuesday morning, I drove RMS from Santa Cruz to the San Francisco airport, and the trip was a little more conversational. While negotiating the twists and turns of Highway 17 over the Santa Cruz Mountains (hoping all the while I didn't hit anything, lest his laptop become a permanent part of RMS's forehead thanks to the driver side airbag), we talked about a GNU-friendly "Intro to Unix/Linux" textbook (which may soon be available — watch this space) and how much alike surfing and love are. Other topics — the folly of highway expansion in the face of peak oil and a McAfee billboard on Highway 101 that said "Hackers are bad" — led us both on conversational tangents punctuated by work on his laptop.
We arrived at SFO after a side trip to Palo Alto to the home he had stayed in before to pick up an item he had forgotten. At 11, he had plenty of time to catch his plane. As we shook hand to take leave of each other, he left me with two words (and you can say them with me): "Happy hacking!"
[Note to P.L.: Not to worry — I didn't tell RMS about the dream you had about him.]
Blue Screen of REAL Death: The Defense Department and Boeing plan to base their new Future Combat Systems not on Microsoft Windows, but on a GNU/Linux based system using Red Hat. The reason the generals made is clear — they don't want to be beholden to Microsoft — but another more important issue arose, this from John Williams, a sergeant at the Boeing plant in Huntington Beach: "Soldiers don't care about software," he said. What they care about is "if it's going to work." That means the men and women on the ground have their lives depending on software, and that software has got to work or the result could be fatal. So, arguably, that counts Microsoft out.
[So how far did that chair travel, Mr. Ballmer?]
Coming soon (like tomorrow): Starting tomorrow, I am going to release eight straight blogs on eight distros I use and particularly like, and why. Call it "Eight Distros a Week" if you like, because I plan to. In any case, hope you enjoy it. Up tomorrow: AntiX 6.5 Spartacus and 7.0 Lysistrata.

Private/Public: Images of Devotion from 19th and Early 20th Century Mexico
Curated by Emmanuel Ortega
Open to the Public: March 27-September, 2014
The images in this exhibition represent more than a group of small religious paintings. They embody the complicated artistic nature of Christian iconography, symbolism and private/public forms of devotion that were established in Mexico as the norm by the nineteenth century. Objects on display include ex-votos and retablos (small tin oil paintings presented as offerings in churches and sacred sites), wooden sculptures and milagros (small hand crafted silver offerings). These objects are the visual result of 400 years of private/public devotional practices that begun to take shape in Mexico after 1521. Their importance resides in the intricacies of the miracles narrated, the intended reception, and the type of information they reveal about private/public devotional practices in Mexico before and after the independence of 1821.

Re: Export to PDF outline issues
I confirm this bug in Mathematica 9.0.1 (Windows 7 x64).

I've been using Mathematica 8 to generate plots, and now switched to 9. One
issue I have is that the outlines in the export to PDF are now all messed
When I do:
foo = Graphics[{Blue, Rectangle[{1, 0}, {2, .1}], Red, Rectangle[{0, 0},
{1, .1}]}]
I get two rectangles of equal height, which is what I want.
If I export this using
Export["~/Desktop/foo.pdf", foo]
Export["~/Desktop/foo.tiff", foo],
the tiff figure looks fine, but the PDF looks terrible, with the second
rectangle being wider than the first, and having rounded edges. This
permeates through all my figures, and is especially bad for figures with
zero-width regions, which display fine in the notebook (i.e., zero-width
regions are not shown), but come out terribly at PDF export.

Elda - from Krugersdorp, South Africa
It takes some time for rice cereal treats to firm up after they are mixed together. The marshmallows have to cool off and meld with everything else, and then it feels less sticky and is easier to handle. If you let them settle a bit, and it was still sticky, there were probably too many marshmallows in your treats. Next time try adding a little less. You could also try spraying your parchment paper with nonstick cooking spray so the treats will come right off.

Spot treatment for zits/ pimples/ blemishes
Whenever I get stressed, I would have pimples popping up on my forehead, chin or cheeks, and none of that small stuff either that you can cover up with a dab of concealer - big red shiny ones that almost seem to jump out of you skin and are so painful to touch.
None of the OTC drugstore remedies containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid or sulphur work for me, some of them irritate the surrounding skin so much that I feel better off just sticking it out for 2 weeks (the time it usually takes for my outbreaks to calm down).
Then I started studying aromatherapy and one of my favorite books written on that subject was "Essential Oils for vibrant health and beauty" by Roberta Wilson. It came with dozens of recipes and the first one I tried was the one she recommended as a spot treatment for blemishes:
- Cypress for its antiseptic and astringent properties.
- Helichrysum and true lavender to reduce inflammation and promote skin healing.
- Tea tree for its strong anti-bacterial action.
These 4 essential oils in a base of organic apple cider vinegar, dabbed on the offending spot with a cotton bud 3 times a day, have managed to make every single one of my massive pimples shrink down to a managable size within 2-3 days and it would usually be gone by the end of the week.
I have been using this blend for the past 3 years and it has never once failed me. If there is only one aromatherapy product I can take with me to the end of the world, this would be it.
What I like about it the most is that, unlike most of the drugstore products, it doesn't dry out or otherwise irritate the surrounding skin, and the spot heals up without leaving a dark mark as it so often happens when there has been massive inflammation.
You have to get used to the smell of vinegar at first when you apply it but it dissipates quickly.
I can't quite remember at this moment what percentage or dilution rate Roberta Wilson recommended in her book because over time I have played with the original formula a bit and varied the dosage for the different oils and the overall strength of the blend to suit me, but if you want to have an idea, this is how I am currently making it up for myself: 10 Lavandula angustifolia, 8 Melaleuca alternifolia, 6 Helichrysum italicum, 6 Cypressus sempervirens - in 15ml organic apple cider vinegar (10% dil).

Re: Spot treatment for zits/ pimples/ blemishes
Nice to hear about the Apple Cider base. It's supposed to be good for so many things, and glad it works for you with essential oils. We've been recommending Tamanu as THE carrier for acne, as it has strong antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and skin healing properties itself.
I expect several essential oils will do the job: myrtle, spike lavender, Benchmark thyme, tea tree, and as you mentioned, a little Helicrysum is good for everything!
For those who would like to try apple cider vinegar as the base, find "raw" vinegar, with what they call "the mother"....it is the most biologically active. Also, if it DOES dry your skin out too much, then mix in the carrier of your choice -- our recommendations are, again, Tamanu, and also Virgin Coconut, Grapeseed and Hazelnut. The last two aren't known so much for their anti-bacterial activity, but for their mildly astringent qualities.
BTW, when you say 10, 8, 6, 6...do you mean drops per ounce of these oils?
Thanks for sharing!

Re: Spot treatment for zits/ pimples/ blemishes
Hi Lucy,
If you haven't tried it, Neem Oil also works great as a spot treatment for blemishes. It has similar action as Tea Tree, but I found it to be more gentle on the skin and for me, more effective. It's antibacterial action is awesome although some people find its almost peanut-like smell a little odd.
I also add small amounts to my blend of facial moisturizer (essential oils & various carrier oils), and I find it helps to keep new acne from forming.
Good luck!

Tornados Sweep Field, Win NGU Invitational TournamentSeptember 2, 2012
Tigerville, S.C.- The Brevard College volleyball team won the North Greenville Invitational Tournament, sweeping four games at Hayes Gymnasium on Friday and Saturday establishing their season record at a perfect 4-0.
The Tornados defeated Vorhees College in their first match on Friday afternoon in straight sets, 25-8, 25-8, 25-10. Juniors Kortney Conner and Erin Rollins each had six kills with the help of Kayla Hanus, who recorded 23 assists.
On Friday evening, they took down Shaw University in straight sets, 25-16, 25-10, 25-18. Conner and Rollins led the Tornados again, recording six and five kills, respectively. Hanus had another solid performance, finishing the evening with 21 assists.
In their first match on Saturday, the Tornados tackled tournament host North Greenville University in four sets, 25-17, 25-19, 19-25, 25-19. Freshman Fatima Gharachorloo had a stellar performance against the Crusaders, recording a game-high 13 kills, followed closely by 12 kills from Conner. Senior Sydney Yeomans contributed a game-high 18 digs.
In their final match on Saturday afternoon to complete the sweep of the field, BC downed Benedict College in straight sets, 25-15, 25-17, 26-24. Experience again benefited the Tornados, as Rollins and junior Megan Clark combined for 15 kills.
The volleyball team returns to action on Wednesday in Due West, South Carolina against the Erskine College Flying Fleet at 7 p.m.

TJR, Canada, sounds a lot like the US, in terms of the educational system.....especially how the government, thinks schools should be able to get by with less money.
Pres, the curriculum that we are writing, will be open enough, to allow the teachers to change projects as they please, while still covering the content. I don't do the exact same projects, every time, I teach a class. I don't expect anyone else to either. What is surprising with the whole thing, when we started creating the curriculum last August, we looked for National Visual Arts Standards as a jump off point. It is hard to find any unified standards, for the visual arts. And at state level, they don't exist for me.
I haven't been asked to do anything with a play or musical yet. But my first year teaching, I was asked to be the Prom Sponsor. The principal, said he wanted someone "Artsy" to do it. I was young, and didn't know any better, so I agreed. It was usually pretty crazy for a few months in the spring, and I didn't get much sleep for a few days, during set up, but it was a little fun. The students were always eager to be on the committee, but they were glad to be done, by the end of it. They always asked, "How I could do this every year?" I told them, that if I didn't enjoy it, I would have stopped doing it long ago.
When I left my first district, I left the Prom Sponsoring behind. They asked me to do it, at my second districts, and I declined. At my current job, I have Art Club, which keeps me plenty busy on its own.
I never had a problem with doing different projects, as I would always change in an out to keep things fresh. My biggest problem was as and department chair where lateral expansion of curriculum would entail lateral expansion of a budget. When the department is limited to X amount of dollars, and one person expands their budget portion without staying in budget. . . . hmmmm.
Luckily, I am the High School Art Department, so I'm the only one using the budget. The Middle School and Elementary buildings, have their own.
that is an easier way to do things, but can get awfully lonely.
My first teaching job, I was part of a two person department, which was great just getting into the profession, having someone else, with experience, int he department with me. Over the years though, we stopped seeing eye to eye, for various reasons. Budget cuts came, I had to go, they got to stay. My second job, was a role reversal. I started the same time, as the other teacher, but I was the "seasoned" veteran, they were the "newbie". We got along swimmingly, and one of the downsides to me leaving that district, was that I wouldn't get to work with them. At my current district, despite the fact I am the only high school teacher, I do see the middle school teacher every day. We get along well enough, despite some differences in opinion. So luckily, I've never been "Alone". I've always had someone, who understands the various aspect of art and teaching.
It helps!

Working fine after a year By Todd on 11/16/2016Todd would recommend this product to a friendI have had no issues with this steralizer, just due for a new bulb at this point. Power supply is working fine.
Power supply issues By Kpricec on 7/24/2016Kpricec wouldn't recommend this product to a friendSame problem as the other reviewers. Thought it was just the bulb, but after ordering a new bulb it was the power supply as well. Wish I had known before ordering it. Now the question is bite the bullet for a new power supply that I will have to replace again in a year or two or look for a better quality sterilizer?
Agree with customer's write up. Had same experience. By Swimming Upstream on 10/6/2015Swimming Upstream wouldn't recommend this product to a friendAgree with customer's write up. Had same experience
quality issues By Qais on 8/17/2015Qais wouldn't recommend this product to a friendSo you need a UV sterilizer, well, this is a very nice once except that quality issues. One of the selling points of this UV sterilizers is that it has a good reputation as far as the quality is concerned, however after about 1 year, the power supply went out. I thought it was the light, so got a new light, nope. It is the power supply. Contacting the manufacturer did not help, they said that just because it is over 1 year, I am out of luck. So 90 bucks for a new one. I don't think I would have purchased this had a I known that every year, I would be paying for a new bulb and new power supply. That is over 150 bucks a year to maintain UV sterilizer. Bulb I can understand but power supply too. Otherwise the rest of it is built like a tank but the critical part that will give out on you is the power supply. and it is huge which is a plus, means it is working. I contact the manufacturer twice and they said, nope if it is over 1 year, you have to buy a new power supply.

Students have a medieval Maymester experience
For two weeks in May, fourteen Honors College students will travel to Britain and trek through the Middle Ages with their English professor. The group isn't wearing tights under their tunics, but they are traveling in the footsteps of King Arthur.
"We're looking into the Arthurian legend and the places associated with it," said Scott Gwara, who is teaching "King Arthur in Medieval Britain," an Honors College May session course.
Scott Gwara
"The course is meant to take the students to the primary locations associated with medieval Arthur legends," he said. "It's also a cultural experience. Many of these locations are associated with what are now large cities, like London, or charming towns, like Winchester and Salisbury.
"We'll also travel into the British countryside and more provincial places, like Glastonbury, which in the twelfth century was where the tomb of King Arthur and Guinevere was found.
"In Tintagel, a village on the north coast of Cornwall, we'll visit the site of Arthur's birthplace. It is a magical place, with the ruins of an old castle and a rocky precipice that is very cold and very Cornish.
"We're also doing a walk through the beautiful fields of Staffordshire, where Gawain and the Green Knight was likely composed, in a place called Lud's church. We'll get to see the North Country a little. A lot of the course will focus on the intersections of text and landscape."
Gwara has written five books and more than thirty articles on medieval subjects. He has taught numerous King Arthur courses through the English department but this is the first time for "King Arthur in Medieval Britain."
The class will be in Britain from May 8 to May 21, but the course actually began in April with three Saturday seminars.
"There is very significant content to this course," Gwara said. "We're not just going to hang out at the British Museum; we're also going to understand what museum artifacts mean for the Arthurian legend."
As part of the course, everyone has a related novel to read.
"Students can read when they are on the plane, or in a pub," Gwara said. "We'll have traditional fun and serious fun, too."

Ok, so my baby wakes up twice at night, between 1-2 am for a feeding and then 4-5 am for another feeding.... I do change his diapers BUT he wakes up more whne I do and sometimes has a hard time going back to sleep.... I am contemplating not changing the diapers anymore at night so he can go back to sleep right after the feedings. However, I tried that once and at 4-5 am his clothes were all wet :(
Maybe I should get overnight diapers one size bigger?
What do you all do?????

Don't forget PENN. Haloti asked about Penn yesterday. Well here is Dick Morris again
explaining why Mitt will still win on Tues and this is a lunch time update today.
OBY was so focused on the swing states he forgot the semi-swing states and completely
ignored PA thinking he had a firewall there since it hasn't voted GOP since 1988. I mentioned
this last night.
As Ive been saying Mitt is leading in the early voting and out-performing OBY from 08.
I'm still going for the land slide on Tues.

Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
This is for Air Flacco to keep him positive :D :
It is hard to imagine how Obama can possibly win with these statistics. Essentially they say that around 9 million people who voted for Obama in 2008 (of Obama's 69 million) are planning on voting for Romney on Tuesday. This figure ignores the 3% that claim to be undecided (some presumably would vote Romney and some stick with Obama).
That would put Obama down to around 60 million votes and, if added to McCain's 2008 total of 59 million, would put Mitt at like 68 million votes.
Obviously there is some percentage, even if small, of people who would say they are going to vote for Obama now but voted for McCain in 2008. And there are the 18-21 year old voters who couldn't vote in 2008, who will break for Obama by a decent, though not nearly unanimous, percentage. And there are people who died since last election (presumably slightly more who voted for McCain), etc. And the overall turnout may end up being larger than 2008. In other words, the electorate is not exactly the same. But still, this is a massive chunk of defectors.
Then again, the polls *should be* including this data, so maybe Obama has made up the difference and the polls are accurate.

Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
I get the sarcasm on point #1. :)
On point #2 - IKE got some of the south in 52 when it started to swing GOP.
See electoral map. He got FLA's big votes and Texas, VA and
I knew I should have said some of the big southern states.
And Truman carried the south in 1948 except for a few states
Strom the racist Thurmond got. Isn't that Sweet Home Alabama
in the map that he got just like there was no Civil War in
America -lol.
Speaking of IKE, conservatives wanted MacArthur for Prez. Both parties courted him. GOPs entered his name in Wisconsin primary
along with Dewey but in a surprise move, the liberal Stassen beat
MacArthur out. But he was in Japan as Supreme Commander of
Allied Forces but said he wouldn't decline a GOP offer.
Both parties courted IKE, but GOP liberals got him because his brother Milton was a GOP. When asked if he as a DEM or GOP
he said I'm an American. Well said. That's why I'm an independent.
Talk about spending, IKE spent a ton of money but improved those
roads OBY loves to talk about. We got the Baltimore Beltway built
because of that money and Rt 95 going from Maine to FLA.
Guv McKeldon also got IKE's money for the capital beltway.
I remember when the beltway was first completed as a kid and
dad drove us all around it. Before that we had to go thru the
city from Belvedere thru MOnroe street to get to Wilkens Ave
and Halethrope where my grand parents lived. It was a long trip.
Nixon also carried FLA and a few other southern states in the 1960 election. Point is, the south started voting GOP around the time
of IKE after voting DEM for so long but southern revisionists will
deny that like saying there was no Civil War.

a bad sample like the Times poll that surveyed 38% DEM and only
29% GOPs and the DEMs were even registered or likely voters.
We've been saying all along that Rasmussen and Gallup are the
most reliable poll.
As Karl Rove said, Gallup had Mitt up by +6 and no candidate had
ever lost when they had him that high that late in the campaign.
Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
Also, I went back and looked at the RCP polls for 08, lets just say, most were not correct.
All that said, I'm with you as far as the polls, they're not painting a pretty picture.We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin

The Rogue Relative isn't discerning about who s/he gives the soundbite to, which is why the Rogue Relative usually shows up in one of the trashier tabloids, or the Daily Mail. Full Story
Jolie damed
It's Dame Angelina now. Queen Elizabeth made Angelina Jolie an honourer Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George on Friday on a Birthday Honours list that also included Daniel Day-Lewis, Maggie Smith, and Damian Lewis. Some of you complained. And I would agree with you – that she's a Hollywood star, and an American, and sure she just came off a busy week for the Global Summit To End Sexual Violence In Conflict but there are non-famous heroes who deserve recognition and crabby crabby crabby crabby crabby crabby – but, you know, talk to me when you're finished bitching about the guy from Homeland.

Brewers' Braun suspended for rest of season
NEW YORK — The first star to fall in baseball's latest drug investigation is one of its biggest: Ryan Braun.
The 2011 National League MVP was suspended without pay for the rest of the season and the postseason Monday, the start of sanctions involving players reportedly tied to a Florida clinic accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs.
The Milwaukee Brewers star accepted the 65-game ban, 15 games more than the one he avoided last year when an arbitrator overturned his positive test for elevated testosterone because the urine sample had been improperly handled.
"I am not perfect. I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions," he said in a statement.
Braun, injured Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and more than a dozen players were targeted by MLB following a report by Miami New Times in January that they had been connected with Biogenesis of America, a now-closed anti-aging clinic.
"For these guys still to be involved with this stuff just baffles me," Miami Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "The education's there, and everybody knows what you can and can't take. It baffles me that this continues to be a black cloud over the game. I know Major League Baseball's done a great job of cleaning up the game and the testing policy and all that. And it's working. But at the same time, too, it seems like we'll go through a lull and then, bam, here comes another guy that gets suspended. It's got to stop."
MLB commissioner Bud Selig announced Braun's penalty Monday, citing the outfielder for multiple unspecified "violations" of baseball's drug program and labor contract. Braun will miss the Milwaukee Brewers' final 65 games without pay, costing him about $3 million of his $8.5 million salary.
"I wish to apologize to anyone I may have disappointed," Braun said. "I am glad to have this matter behind me once and for all, and I cannot wait to get back to the game I love."
Under the agreement reached by MLB and the players' association, the specifics of Braun's admission won't be made public. The sides also wouldn't say whether this counted as a single violation or more under baseball's drug agreement.
"We commend Ryan Braun for taking responsibility for his past actions," said Rob Manfred, MLB's executive vice president for economics and league affairs. "We all agree that it is in the best interests of the game to resolve this matter. When Ryan returns, we look forward to him making positive contributions to Major League Baseball both on and off the field."
Union head Michael Weiner said last week that arbitration hearings for players contesting suspensions likely would not start until September, which would delay any penalty until next season. But he also indicated the union would urge players to make a deal and get a suspension over with if there was strong evidence of guilt.
"I am deeply gratified to see Ryan taking this bold step," Weiner said in a statement. "It vindicates the rights of all players under the joint drug program. It is good for the game that Ryan will return soon to continue his great work both on and off the field."
Braun's acceptance of the suspension marks a 180-degree turnaround from his defiant spring training news conference in Phoenix last year after his 50-game ban was overturned.
"We won," he said then, "because the truth is on my side. The truth is always relevant, and at the end of the day, the truth prevailed."
Braun became the latest star tripped up by baseball's drug rules.
The sport was criticized for allowing bulked-up sluggers to set power records in the 1990s and only started testing in 2003. Since then, testing and penalties have become more stringent, and last year San Francisco's Melky Cabrera was suspended for 50 games, just weeks after he was voted MVP of the All-Star game.
Four All-Stars this year have been linked in media reports to Biogenesis: Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz, San Diego shortstop Everth Cabrera, Oakland pitcher Bartolo Colon and Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta. Other players reportedly tied to Biogenesis include Cabrera, now with Toronto, Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli and Seattle catcher Jesus Montero.
A person familiar with the probe said negotiations over penalties for other players had not yet begun.
Braun was hitting .298 with nine homers and 38 RBIs this year, slowed by a thumb injury that limited him to one game between June 9 and Friday.

The enrollment of a client in Project Lifesaver requires that either the client and/or caregiver pay for the use and maintenance of the transmitter equipment and supplies, or must depend on the generous donation of funds by individuals and organizations. If a potential client and caregiver cannot pay for the equipment and supplies and donations are not available to cover the costs, the applicant is placed on a waiting list until such time that funds are available to cover the costs of admitting and maintaining the client in the program. Equipment and supplies remain the property of LCSO Project Lifesaver and upon departure of a client from the program, are returned, inspected, and reassigned as needed.
|New Client Package (including wrist transmitter, battery and band)
|Nylon Band
|Plastic Band
|Plus Shipping and Handling Costs
|Total Cost for Adding a New Client to the Program
|$275 plus $10 per month
In addition to the above initial costs, the battery and band must be replaced monthly and the transmitter case must be replaced periodically. To protect the investment and ensure that the equipment functions correctly, every 30 days LCSO Project Lifesaver members test the transmitter and the client battery/transmitter tester, review the caregiver's daily Project Lifesaver paperwork for accuracy, update the client information, and answer any questions the caregiver may have at that time.
If a client and caregiver do not follow the program requirements or if they leave the program for some other reason, the equipment is returned to LCSO Project Lifesaver for use by another client.
The implementation of the Lee County Lifesaver Program required the purchase of a minimum of seven (7) Emergency Responder Packages which include everything a responder needs to conduct a search for a missing client. This minimum allows one package per LCSO substation and one package for the LCSO Project Lifesaver Coordinator who provides training to other LCSO members on the use of the equipment and also performs testing of client equipment. The cost in July 2006 was $2275 per package, bringing the initial total cost for Lee County's Project Lifesaver Emergency Responder Packages to $15,925. It is recommended that each substation have three (3) Emergency Responder Packages, so the quantity of Responder Packages on hand will need to increase as more clients are added. As of January, 2007, the cost per Responder Package rose to $2415.

Joe Nelson III Professor of Management. "Recruiting a top scholar like Professor Kamakura is crucial for building a premier business school and is only possible with the support of the community, particularly the Houston Endowment which continues to support the Jones School."

He has served as the editor of the Journal of Marketing Research, area editor of Marketing Science and associate editor of the Journal of Consumer Research and is currently a member of the editorial boards of the International Journal of Research in Marketing, Journal of Business Research, Journal of Marketing Research, Journal of Retailing and Marketing Science.

His paper "Socioeconomic status and consumption in an emerging economy" was recently named best paper by the Marketing Science Institute in a special issue of the International Journal of Research in Marketing on Emerging Economies.
"I am delighted to be back in Texas, my point of entry to the U.S. as a graduate student," said Kamakura. "I look forward to working as a colleague with old friends and co-authors, as well as forming new friendships and co-authorships at Rice."
Professor Kamakura holds a Ph.D. in marketing from the University of Texas at Austin, an M.S. in industrial engineering from the University of Sao Paulo (Brazil), an MBA from the Getulio

Jared Leto celebrates Golden Globe nod with concert
Listen to Thirty Seconds to Mars on iHeartRadio
Jared Leto says he couldn't think of a better way to celebrate his first Golden Globe nomination than with a Thirty Seconds to Mars concert.
The rocker/actor earned a nod Thursday morning for his work in Dallas Buyers Club, but he tells "Entertainment Weekly" he missed the announcement because he was "dead asleep" on a tour bus heading to the band's Thursday night show in St. Louis.
Leto and his Thirty Seconds to Mars bandmates are wrapping up their latest tour this month. The frontman says the remaining gigs will be a perfect way to celebrate all his recent award show attention because the band's performances are already about celebrating life. And Leto says he has a lot to be grateful for, adding that it's "absolutely insane" that he could take a 6-year break from acting and then return with a film like Dallas Buyers Club that has so much support, enthusiasm, and love surrounding it.
Leto - who also earned a SAG Award nomination this week - will have some stiff competition in the Best Supporting Actor category at next month's Globes. His fellow nominees include Bradley Cooper from American Hustle, Michael Fassbender from 12 Years a Slave, Daniel Bruhl from Rush, and Barkhad Abdi from Captain Phillips.
But Leto isn't the only rocker getting some attention from the Hollywood Foreign Press this year. Coldplay and U2 also snagged nominations in the Best Original Song category. Coldplay's Hunger Games: Catching Fire contribution "Atlas" and U2's "Ordinary Love" from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom will go up against tunes from Frozen, Inside Llewyn Davis, and One Chance. All the winners will be announced at the 71st Golden Globe Awards ceremony on January 12th.

The official music video for Tiesto's "Red Lights" has finally arrived. Shazam users who tagged "Red Lights" with the popular music app got a peek at the video before it was finally premiered on Vevo.
The video features two girls on an epic spontaneous road trip, ending up in Vegas at Hakkasan for Tiesto's party.
"Red Lights" is the first taste of what fans can expect from Tiesto's fifth full-length artist album due out later this year.
Check out the official music video for "Red Lights" below!


text: Well, Padma Lakshmi does like men who are much older than her. According to The NY Post, Padma is dating Richard Gere. The actor, who has been making his way through scores of women since his divorce announcement last September has supposedly been seen out with Padma several times while he has been filming his latest movie in NYC. This is the same movie he is not having much filming because he does not get to look like his normal self. Padma has some interesting choices when it comes to dating guys. She was married to Salman Rushdie. She has a child with the brother of the founder of Dell and was set up for life after the death of her billionaire boyfriend Teddy Forstmann who died of brain cancer back in 2011. I don't know if this will work. Richard likes to be the center of attention and that is one of the reasons his marriage to Cindy Crawford didn't work. I also don't know if Padma has that special kind of kink that Richard needs in his sex life, although at 64, maybe he has toned that down.

The following is a collection of drought-related information from the Indiana DNR with links to other state agencies that are also educating the public about the dry conditions.
Some information about drought-related bans and closures for State Parks and Reservoirs can be found on our advisories page. However, because conditions change quickly, we recommend checking with property staff.
Visit the Indiana Department of Homeland Security's Website (http://www.in.gov/dhs/getprepared.htm) for preparedness and burn ban information.
As a result of the drought, public boat ramps can become unsafe for launching trailered boats, especially on rivers.
The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers controls and monitors the water level in several DNR reservoirs. View lake levels.
Because of high blue-green algae counts, humans and pets should avoid ingesting water and contact with visible surface scums. Shower with soapy water after swimming. For more information about blue-green algae visit http://www.algae.in.gov/ or http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/files/sp-BlueGreenAlgae.pdf.
The Department of Natural Resources and the state Department of Homeland Security have issued a Water Shortage Warning for all counties in Indiana due to drought conditions. Read the media release.
The Division of Water maintains information about the state's water resources.
While wildlife may be stressed and there may be some lower survival of young and mortality of older, weaker animals, and increased predation as prey and predators congregate on limited resources, wildlife species have ways of adapting as they have in previous drought years. Wildlife may reduce their activities or change the timing of their activities, thus they may not be as visible to us. When rain returns, we may be surprised by the wildlife that appear as conditions improve. Read the media release

The hallmark of today's nerd tends to be obsession. These obsessions are wide ranging, from Star Wars to Jane Austen, manga to Mythbusters, Legos to zombies, Harry Potter to Angry Bir….well, you get it. I like to consider myself a well-rounded nerd, but my biggest obsession is definitely books. I get ridiculously happy when the new books come in at the library because a new book holds such promise, such potential. It might be the book that you tell all your friends about. The one that you reread every year. The one that makes you snort loudly with laughter while waiting for an oil change. (Yes, I've done that.)
But even better than a new book is an old book that somehow slipped past your radar – an author you've never read before, a book you never got around too, or a title that was wildly popular a few years ago.
For a book nerd like me, one of the best jobs at the library is doing a Book Mate. Book Mate is a matchmaking service for readers (between readers and books, not readers and other readers—we leave that up to you!). Answer a few questions about what you like to read and what you don't and we'll give you a list of books we think you might enjoy. We'll wander the stacks looking for that book that just might be your new favorite, the one you tell all your friends about. Need CD books or eBooks? Not a problem. Large Print or Teen books? We can do that too. Heck, we'll even throw in a DVD if you want. No matter what you read or why you read it, we'll find something for you. During the month of October, a few lucky readers who fill out a Book Mate will win free copies of local author Ed Okonowicz's spookiest books. Fill out a Book Mate form, online here or pick up a paper copy at your local library. We're book nerds here at the library, so let us put our obsession to work for you.
What's your nerd obsession?
