The man who helped establish mixed martial arts on New Year's Eve was back at it again.
Antonio Inoki returned to December 31 as a promoter with his Inoki Genome Federation, a pro wrestling promotion. In true Inoki fashion, the promotion has both wrestlers and fighters engaging in pro wrestling matches. In the case of this card, there was a mix of pro wrestling matches and mixed martial arts fights.
The main MMA fight of the card was the return of Mirko Cro Cop and the debut of Shinichi Suzukawa. A fighter versus wrestler matchup has never worked out that great for Inoki since he started booking them in real fights as opposed to in pro wrestling matches. The desired effect of booking these types of fights years ago was that the pro wrestler would win or fight good at the very least. In most cases, the wrestler did not perform well or was finished quickly. This ended up being no different.
Suzukawa, a former sumo wrestler, chose to make his MMA debut fighting in a sumo thong. Suzukawa came out charging with something resembling a flying knee to begin the fight, but ended up accidentally poking Cro Cop in his left eye after landing.
Cro Cop got aggressive after the eye poke and quickly got Suzukawa to the ground. From there, Cro Cop got full mount and worked his way to an armbar. He locked the hold on and got the win just 78 seconds into the bout.
Satoshi Ishii fought for the first time since last New Year's Eve when he was knocked out by Fedor Emelianenko, earning a unanimous decision victory over Tim Sylvia.
This fight brought back a lot of memories to Ishii's win on New Year's Eve a few years ago over Jerome Le Banner. They were both solid outings by Ishii where he wore down his opponent on the mat and did what he had to do when the fight was standing. The other thing that rings true about both of these fights is that they were unspectacular performances by Ishii. And that's why it's really appearing as though Ishii isn't going to ever be in a position to become a star in MMA in Japan. Because that's what people look for in a star: big performances, or at least entertaining ones. That's what made endeared Sakuraba to fan in his later years in the sport, but Ishii is a more cautious fighter than that. And there's nothing wrong with being that kind of fighter, it just won't make you a star.
Ishii did have two highlights, one accidental and one intentional. The intentional highlight was a cut that Ishii opened up above Sylvia's right eye in the opening round. While on the ground, Ishii landed a few elbows and opened up the cut with one of them. The accidental highlight was in the final round when, during a tussle, Ishii ended up throwing Sylvia through the ropes and out of the ring. Thankfully, Sylvia stayed on the canvas and was able to get back into the ring to finish the bout.
It wouldn't be a Dream card without an appearance from Ikuhisa Minowa, a.k.a. "Minowaman." Bouts involving Minowa in Dream are noteworthy for their freakshow appeal. This is due to Minowa being booked to fight opponents that are either much taller or much larger than he is.
This was no exception as Minowa's opponent, Bor Bratovz, entered with a five inch height advantage, and it was noticeable. But this turned out to be another case where the larger or taller opponent was far less talented or far less experienced than Minowa, hence the pairing being more fair than its appearance. In this case it was less experienced with Bratovz being in only his ninth career fight in comparison to it being Minowa's 97th fight.
Bratovz offers Minowa resistance any time Minowa tried to get anything going early on the ground and in a corner. Bratovz even managed something of a takedown and seemed to have Minowa's back when the two were standing near the ropes.
Here, Minowa showed some fancy movement in rolling and then securing Bratovz's leg in the same movement. Bratovz managed to land a few punches after he fell to the mat, but ended up submitting to a heel hook 3:18 into the bout.
Also on the card, Rolles gracie submitted Yusuku Kawaguchi in two minutes with an arm-triangle choke.Tags: Antonio Inoki, Ikuhisa Minowa, Mirko Cro Cop, MMA, Satoshi Ishii, Shinichi Suzukawa, Tim Sylvia

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Sometimes, you need just one lovingly crafted, ice-cold, puckery margarita at the end of a difficult day. And sometimes, you need a pitcher of 'em and a roomful of compadres to share it with. If it's one of the latter times, head over to Yucatan Grill in Seal Beach. The place can be hard to find for newbies, considering it can't be seen while driving down Pacific Coast Highway and a more accurate address would be Marina Drive. Despite wandering around the parking lot for a few extra minutes, the moment you walk into this Mexican-Caribbean cantina, any stress will melt away. The brightly colored walls and festive decorations feel like an instant vacation, and the fact that you can order your margaritas en masse doesn't hurt either. Made with fresh lemon and lime juices, instead of a premade mix, the margaritas here are always served stiff. And the warm service and lively group of regulars make them go down even easier.
So you're looking to pick up some fine young thing for a little action—nothing serious, just a good time. Head over to Sutra, the glitzy club at Triangle Square where you'll find a bevy of pretty party people to choose from. The scene is very image-conscious—there's more silicone at Sutra than a Mattel production plant—and if you're serious about getting laid, prepare to throw around some cash: Money speaks very loudly to this very loud crowd. You and your new friend may not spend the evening discussing Flaubert or Kierkegaard—but you'll probably wake up with a big, fat smile.
Where do people of a refined age, well-established career and certain means go to find love (or a hot hook-up)? Javier's in Newport Beach's Crystal Cove. The coastal restaurant is decadently decorated, appealing to those of finer tastes, and boasts a giant, jungle-esque cantina complete with a fire pit, indoor greenery, and very expensive-looking seating and tables. The food is irrelevant for this group—it's difficult for most people to look sexy while shoveling carne asada in their faces. But what this Javier's offers is ambiance and location: Newport Beach is the mother ship for both rich dudes and artfully augmented women. For the gentlemen, who tend to travel alone or in groups of no more than three, it offers a fine selection of tequilas, Scotch and beer. And for the ladies, who usually venture out in small packs, there is a wide menu of margaritas and champagne. Enjoy the hunt!
We've all done it: Before going out on a date, we've chanted that one request—"Please, God, don't let me run into anyone I know." The Riviera is dark—really dark—and the menu is way too fancy for any of your friends. In operation for more than 30 years, this classic restaurant and bar has all the romantic standards: steaks, seafood, champagne, escargot and frog legs. You stand a good chance of getting through this one unscathed—and unseen. If you're too ashamed to take your date to your favorite bar, at least treat them to fine food and drink. It'll cost you a pretty penny, but hey, this is your shallow insecurity, not theirs.
While we can't comment on friends who may or may not have made brief eye contact with a pretty college-aged lass before the two adjourned to the sidewalk outside Back Alley's large smoking patio for a brief romp, we can say the informal, booze-fueled environment of the venerable watering hole is conducive to bringing strangers together. With Cal State Fullerton and Fullerton College close by, it's an attractive option for stressed-out matriculates looking to blow off a little steam. There's just something about that smoking patio on a hot night. The music from the jukebox is loud, and a large hole in the building's front wall grants access to the bar from outside. Suddenly, people who don't normally smoke are congregating under the stars and rubbing elbows (among other things) in a confined area. Those who lack game might be tempted to throw their hands up and grumble bitterly about Back Alley being just another Fullerton bar, but hey, most folks don't head there on a Friday night for stimulating conversation.
Neighborhood bar? Transplanted community is more like it! The place where Xalos Bar makes its home was once "The Shack"—ground zero of one too many neo-Nazi shows, as the Weekly exposed 10 years ago. The times, demographics and venue have changed, however, and "Un Poco de Jalisco en el Corazon de Anaheim" is now the prevailing banner for the establishment off the interchange for the 91 and 57 freeways. For all the young people with roots planted in the municipality of Jalostotitlán in the Mexican state of Jalisco and currently populating this northern OC city, Xalos Bar is a space to anchor their social lives. But enough sociological shit; let's talk puro pinche pari. Xalos' bar is fully stocked and offers drink and bottle specials, but it's not really designed for people to get liquored-up and lounge. The inebriation is aimed at loosening up patrons enough that they'll hit the dance floor, which tends to get more than crowded, so remember to put extra deodorant on, lest you become the cabrón with the cebolla-smelling armpits drenching your dress shirt. Live banda and norteño music, along with super-estrella club, pop and rock en español DJ mix nights keep the beat going. Muster up some courage and drop a line to any one of the "AnaHynas" sure to be there on any given night.

CO2 laser (laser tube) Installation instructions
1. Make sure the electrodes are connected correctly;
2. The cooling water pipe installation. When installing water pipe, please make sure the cooling water inlet must follow from the positive to negative, and down into the water, and the interface is not leaking. Before starting the laser tube must store enough water in the water cooling pipes and no air bubbles before use (must check every time before start laser tube). If the laser tube is mounted vertically, please ensure that no air bubbles at the top of the laser tube. It will cause thermal shock when it runs with air bubbles in the water pipe, which is easy to damage your laser tube.
3. To maintain the good performance of laser tube, keep the cooling water temperature between 20-25 °C. The instability of cooling water's temperature will influence laser tube output power.
4. When installing the laser tube, please try to ensure the 1/4 point in laser tube length is on laser tube holder, this can help your laser tube get best working performance. And leave enough space between the laser tube positive end (it has high voltage electricity) and any metal surface of your laser machine. If the space is not big enough, it will cause ignition between high voltage power used to trigger the laser tube and the metal surface of laser machine, and thus lead to laser tube damage and even breakdown of major electronic components on your laser machine.
5. Recommend laser machine consumers to put automatic checkout device into your laser tube water cooling system to prevent laser tube stoppage due to overheating failure caused by lack of water when laser tube is working, please consult your laser machine supplier for details.
CO2 Laser Tube Common Working Problems
Weak output laser power
1. Check if any scratches or dirt on laser tube output lens and the laser tube put on laser tube support at right point (Marked as"suggested support point"on SPT laser tube).
2. Check the output current of laser machine, service voltage, cooling water temperature, cleanness and rate of water flow.
3. Check the cleanness of focus lens and the reflectors on your laser machine, check whether the lens and reflective mirrors get hot or the laser beam is not well aligned.
High voltage electric discharge ignition
1. Check if any sundries around the high voltage electricity joint or the laser tube is too close to metal part of laser machine;
2. Too humid indoor environment will also cause electric conduction phenomena. Please pay attention to phenomenon of condensation water in laser tube when using water chiller in summer days.
3. Check if any contact defective or open circuit in laser power internal high-voltage connections.
Laser tube broken or the laser tube ends fallen off
1. Cooling water temperature must be 15 to 25 degrees. The cooling water can be frozen in cold area to cause laser tube broken from inside, so don't leave any water within the laser tube when temperature is under 0 degree.
2. The tube must run under water protection device is on. (To test the tube lights or not with water supplied or not)
3. Check the silicon water pipe is folded or pressed by something.
4. Check if any bubbles in the laser tube.
5. Check whether the cooling water flow rate is normal and the water is circled from low to high.
If conditions 1-5 are normal, it is laser tube quality problem.
Laser tube breakdown caused by wrong operations of 1~5 conditions is not covered by warranty policy.

I'm not your average computer nerd. I like biking and hiking (though I don't get much of a chance to do either). I love camping. I go to the gym regularly, and care very much about my physical health.
My 'nerdity' also takes some other directions, although I hesitate to use that term for some of this. I'm polyamorous. I'm a dominant (as in BDSM). I'm a professional woodworker.
In short, I consider myself a rather well-rounded individual. At least I try to be.
I am impassioned, nerdy, and intense
Anything else is currently being put on hold.
Movies: Grosse Pointe Blank, Fight Club, The Incredibles (and most of the other Pixar movies), UHF, Top Secret!, Secretary, the Star Wars trilogy (Luke and Leia, not the other crap), and too many others to list. Oh, and last (and most certainly least), Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter. If you haven't seen it, ask me and I'll subject you to it sometime.
Music: Goth and Gothic Rock (Evanescence, The Crüxshadows, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Sisters of Mercy, The Dresden Dolls, and others), 'Alternative/Rock' (I use this as kind of a catch-all term for bands I can't classify elsewhere; such as Rusted Root, Sister Hazel, The Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, etc.), Hard Rock (AC/DC, some Metallica, etc.), some Metal and Industrial (NIN (though they could be in Hard Rock), Rammstein, Dethklok). I'll listen to most anything, provided it's not hardcore rap or 'mainstream' country. Yeah, I know, I'm living in Texas and I don't like country music.
Food: Sushi and other Japanese cuisine, Italian... actually, I'll eat most anything, though I don't particularly care for Tex-Mex. Again, what am I doing in Texas?
Or if you have an interesting ice cream idea for me to make.

Warning on China-Japan tech links
Page Tools
Businesses dependent on products and services from China or Japan have been advised to develop contingency plans in the event that relations between the two countries worsen.
Tech research firm Gartner said around 95 per cent of the world's largest 2000 firms, many of them tech outfits, had interests, employees and investments in China and Japan.
"Most large global companies will have to adjust their strategies and plans if the China-Japan situation remains volatile. For many companies, it is no longer 'business as usual' in north-east Asia," Gartner Research director Dion Wiggins said.
If tensions did escalate, this would also affect Hong Kong and South Korea, and was likely to spread to other societies with strong historical ties to China, Mr Wiggins said.
"This extreme outcome could hasten the onset of a global recession and would certainly kill off initiatives to develop joint standards in areas such fourth-generation mobile networks, RFID, open source software and next-generation internet," he said.
In such a scenario, Japanese technology firms would reduce commitment to the Chinese market. Many would withdraw and India would probably become Japan's new base for low-cost manufacturing.
"Chinese industry will suffer, as its source of leading-edge technology dries up amid continuing export restrictions from the US and Europe. Some technology companies from North America, Europe and elsewhere in Asia will acquire Japanese assets at attractive prices, but others will steer clear and divert sourcing away from an unstable region," Mr Wiggins said.
But if the status quo prevailed in the long-term, Japanese technology firms would assume a lower profile in China through intermediaries and local brand strategies.
"Chinese IT service and software firms will reduce their Japanese business initiatives. As they refocus on North America and Europe, these Chinese firms will meet more direct competition from established global IT service firms, particularly those from India," Mr Wiggins said.
Outlining a third scenario - where business returned to almost as-usual - Mr Wiggins said the impact would be mostly felt by Chinese and Japanese companies.
"Chinese consumers will start to favour alternative brands, whether home-grown or from South Korea and Taiwan, while nascent efforts by Chinese technology companies to enter the Japanese consumer market will meet even more resistance," he said.
Japanese firms were likely to resume frozen investments in China but would be on the lookout for diversification. Interest in offshore IT and business process service providers in the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Australia, was likely to grow.
Direct cumulative investment by Japanese companies in China exceeded $US48 billion ($A62.82 billion) from 1979 to 2003. In the same period, the US invested $US43.6 billion in China, while Europe - through combined direct investments of Britain, France, Germany and Italy - invested $US28.6 billion in China.

Not the best cruiseline I have gone on, but some great features: Norwegian Pearl Cruise Review by ginacoco
Overall Member Rating
Not the best cruiseline I have gone on, but some great features
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
Let's start with the good:
1. The Haven: if you have the extra funds, this is worth the money, every bit of it. On an Alaskan cruise, the regular pool is almost a waste, as there really isn't the weather for it. The Haven has it's own private pool in an atrium (for all Haven level rooms and some other suites on the ship), so it is warm and you can use it throughout your cruise without any crowds to battle or wind to bare. You also get access to wonderful lounging areas, a private hot tub that seats 10 or so, and you can have breakfast and lunch served to you in the atrium itself. The suites are spacious, but a bit dated and the service is impeccable. You get to use the steakhouse for your breakfast and lunch too, which was a positive for us (different menu though).
2. The bowling More alley. They do charge an arm and a leg ($7/game including shoes), but this was a really fun added activity, especially for the kids. They went down and played on their own quite frequently and there was rarely a wait (probably due to the expensive cost). It was a bit of a challenge, due to the boat rocking, but we just put up the bumpers and the game was fun again. You can do it without them, but we found it less frustrating for the kids since there was so much uncontrolled movement once the ball left your hand.
3. The ports chose were great. Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, Glacier Bay (not a port, but around), Victoria. The negative to any of these is the weather, as it is a crapshoot. We missed our helicopter ride at the very last minute, due to weather considerations. We booked private tours everywhere ,except the train and we were very glad we did (less cost, better itineraries).
4. The ship was immaculate.
The bad points;
1. The restaurant food was on the lower end for sure. Our Celebrity cruise last year was head and shoulders above this line in the normal restaurant....wow, what a difference (on a good note, no weight gain!). Norwegian really wants you to eat at its specialty restaurants and they give you an incentive, far from spectacular food. On every other cruise I have been on, I've stayed in the main dining room, but we only ate there a couple of times on this one. AND we had to wait 20 minutes each time to get a table. This is likely due to the fact that the service is terribly slow (even so in the specialty restaurants). For specialty: The Asian one and steakhouse was good, skip the Italian.
2. The ship is dated. Whether they just did it or did it years ago, the ship really looks quite dated in color scheme and theme.
3. The kids club forces the kids to stay a minimum of 2 hours before they can check themselves out. My boys wanted nothing to do with it because of this. This also accounts for why the older kids (9-11) rarely show and it is mostly daycare. My kids have always loved kids club and just enjoyed one last year on Celebrity....we could barely get the to stay with us when at sea....not so on Norwegian. The teen club, however, was fantastic for our teen and he was in there much of the sailing time.
4. The stays at port are WAY too rushed. They really need full days at these ports (most were 1/2 days). I felt totally rushed and wanted more time to just stroll around. As an example, you get to Ketchikan at 6 am in the morning and leave at 1:30pm. You really can't do anything until 8am or so and you have to be back on the ship at 1pm, so there is little time for excursions, especially when they have to pick you up and take you somewhere. This leaves little time to shop around and see the town. This part was really a big disappointment.
Juneau: Bad weather and our heli ride/dog mush cancelled....bummer. Did whale watch and saw them bubble (very cool and you can only see during small periods of time and in only 2 places), but the rain made it a bit less enjoyable, though I wouldn't have missed it. No Orcas, which was a bummer for me, as I really wanted to see one.
Skagway: We did the train. This is good for adults, but I wouldn't recommend it for kids unless they are over the top on loving trains. It's scenic, no real wildlife and boring for the kids, almost at any age. In the afternoon, we made up for it by going ziplining, which everyone loved. They have one there that you only have to be 50 lbs, which is huge for me, as my boys at 11 only weigh 65!
Ketchikan: We kayaked and did a floatplane. This was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed our day. The town was really cute and enjoyable to walk around, though we had almost no time.
Glacier Bay: Beautiful. We enjoyed several hours outside watching the glaciers.
Victoria: You get there so late, there isn't much one can do (6pm). We ate dinner at port and walked around a market and saw Parliament lit up, but that was pretty much all we could do. There are a few cruise excursions, but none suited the fancy of a family with younger boys.
In all, this is a one and done cruise for me and my family. It was beautiful to see, but one trip definitely fulfilled our need to see Alaska. Part of that is that the cruises are only in the summer and, being from Colorado, we only get 3-4 months of good summer weather, wasting a week in the cold of Alaska is a bit of a sacrifice for us. If I lived in super hot weather, it would have been an added bonus to have the cold and my feelings might be different! The other reason is that there is not that much to do in each port. We hit the best things we could find, which were fabulous, but, unless you love fishing, there wasn't a great list of things I felt like I missed doing, unlike all the other cruises I have gone on where I feel like I am definitely missing something when I settle on something else.
Alaska is a beautiful state with wonderful wildlife (though we saw little of it). I would recommend all to go at least once. As far as Norwegian goes, I'm not sure I will cruise with them again. Celebrity and Royal Caribbean have them beat at around the same price point. To me, a cruise without spectacular food is an oxy moron. Less

Absolute loved the Haven! Service was spectacular and the private atrium pool and hot tub to die for!Room was a bit dated, though it was huge and well worth the money for the space.

The AED donated by the Disque Foundation is the first accessible to the general public here in Cartago, Costa Rica.
Henderson, NV (PRWEB) December 01, 2012
John Lustig, a founder of Advanced Medical Certification (AMC) has joined forces with Dr. Karl "Fritz" Disque and several trustees of the Disque Foundation for a goodwill trip to Costa Rica on December 1. Partnered with Cross-Cultural Solutions (CCS), the team will train medical personnel and other local citizens on Basic Life Support skills.
Lustig's attraction to the trip derives from the nature of his company. AMC is an online medical education service provider designed to offer Basic Life Support courses to health care professionals. In addition to the CPR and BLS education to community members, the Disque Foundation team will be donating an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) to the community of Cartago, Costa Rica.
On March 5, 2012 the American Red Cross began an AED program supporting the position that improved training and access to AEDs could save 50,000 lives in one year. However, with a cost of over $2000 per AED, many countries like Costa Rica do not have programs that can fund the purchase of AEDs.
"Thousands of people in the Cartago community will benefit greatly from the AED, and the training we are providing," said Lustig. "The AED donated by the Disque Foundation is the first accessible to the general public here."
About Advanced Medical Certification (AMC)
AMC is a provider of online ACLS, PALS and BLS certification and re-certification training. The course curriculum is 100% online, which provides a convenient, alternative to the hands-on approach to the certification instruction. This accommodates the schedules of busy medical personnel and certifies thousands of health care professionals annually

A young boy awoke one night from a bad asthma attack. As he staggered toward his parents' room, he stumbled, fell and hit his head on their bedroom door. His parents, startled at the noise, found him lying in the hallway and called an ambulance.
Even years later, the boy remembers the ambulance lights going back and forth as he lapsed in and out of consciousness. The mere thought of asthma symptoms waking him at night causes his breath to shorten and his body to tense.
Asthma and anxiety could be the terrible twosome of the airways. They share many of the same symptoms - difficult breathing, sweating, fear and feelings of palpitations - and patients' inability to discriminate between the two can complicate treatment.
Only 40% of asthma patients with an anxiety disorder are diagnosed by the medical system, while parents catch an additional 10%, said Wayne Katon, MD, professor and vice chair of the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle.
"It is very important to screen kids with asthma for anxiety and depressive disorders," Katon said. "If they are not effectively treated, it leads to more of a symptom burden on kids and their families."
When children have both disorders, they perceive a higher symptom burden, have less hope for treatment, are more functionally impaired and are more likely to begin smoking. Ultimately, they cost the medical system about 50% more than anxiety-free patients.1
Linking the Disorders
Little is known about the physiology underpinning the connection between asthma and anxiety. But asthma experts recognize that stress can be an asthma trigger in certain patients. When their stress response system kicks into overdrive, their airway muscles tighten and constrict, worsening wheezing and coughing.
A study led by researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison identified certain spots in the brain that link emotions and asthma.
Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, they traced brain activity of six participants with mild allergic asthma during three inhalation challenges.
The researchers asked participants to read words that were neutral, negative or words associated with an asthmatic episode. Asthma-related words caused increased inflammation and activity in participants' brain regions that govern emotions.
These findings "represent a previously undescribed approach to understanding the functional link between emotion processing circuits in the brain and peripheral physiologic process relevant to disease progression," the authors wrote.2 While such preliminary research is intriguing, researchers have yet to establish causality between asthma and anxiety. Katon hypothesizes that an underlying third variable, perhaps genetic, predisposes people to both disorders.
"We know that with certain medical disorders, there are clear high levels of comorbidity, and family members are often affected more commonly with all of these disorders," Katon said.
Assessing Anxiety
For now, health care providers must work toward recognition and assessment of patients with both disorders.
Certain anxiety disorders, most notably agoraphobia, panic disorder and general anxiety disorder, have been observed in higher numbers among people with asthma, but specific and social phobias are found less frequently than in the general population, said Eric B. Weiser, PhD, associate professor of psychology at Curry College in Milton, Ma.
Employing either the Anxiety Sensitivity Index or the Mood and Feelings Questionnaire can identify about 80% of asthma patients with comorbid anxiety, according to research from the University of Washington School of Medicine.3
The 16-item Anxiety Sensitivity Index typically is used to assess posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, panic and substance abuse. It evaluates patients' fear of anxiety symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, nervousness and shortness of breath.
The slightly shorter Mood and Feelings Questionnaire asks patients to determine how frequently they feel or act in ways described in 12 to 13 passages. Each questionnaire takes only about 5 minutes to administer.
"There are effective instruments out there, they are just not being used much," Katon said.
But when you have effective treatments, he added, people become more interested in picking up disorders.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Psychologists have long endorsed cognitive behavioral therapy to help patients deal with their conditions.
"One reason why there is such a high comorbidity between panic and asthma is that the symptoms of panic disorder may represent conditioned responses to subtle autonomic changes that resemble symptoms of asthma attacks that perhaps occurred at a much younger age," said Weiser.
In other words, patients experience anxiety when confronted with stimuli they associate with a previous asthma attack. The stimulus varies from person to person depending on their anxiety disorder and personal experiences.
Psychologist Thomas L. Creer, PhD, now retired, worked with young patients to identify their traumatic experiences with asthma, and then he coached them to relax while thinking of these memories or during physical exposure to the stimuli. At the end of their therapy, patients could visualize their most serious attack and stay calm, Creer said.
He developed and tested these techniques combined with asthma education nearly 30 years ago through Living with Asthma, a self-management program at the National Asthma Center in Denver, Colo., now the National Jewish Medical and Research Center.
Differentiating Attacks
A more recent study paired similar methods to control patients' fears with asthma education and modules designed to teach patients to differentiate between asthma and anxiety4 The researchers taught subjects to tolerate anxiety symptoms by exposing them to similar sensations, said Paul Lehrer, PhD, professor of psychiatry at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in Piscataway.
For example, researchers mimicked hyperventilation by having subjects breathe through a straw. This demonstrated that the sensations were uncomfortable, not dangerous, thereby helping reduce the subject's fear of the anxiety symptoms.
"When you fear them less, then you experience less anxiety and have fewer panic attacks, like the opposite of a vicious spiral," Lehrer said.
Just as importantly, the researchers showed subjects how to differentiate between those avertable anxiety attacks and asthma attacks by using a peak flow meter.
Subjects collected daily readings to determine their typical peak flow meter levels. They used these criteria during attacks to determine if they were having a true asthma attack and whether to take bronchodilators, call their health care provider, or go to the emergency room.
These practices resulted in a 50% decrease in patient's albuterol use and zero trips to the emergency room, Lehrer said. This study, however, did not contain a control group, so the researchers cannot determine whether the improvements resulted from their treatment plan or simply the passage of time.
A larger study that collected data comparing subjects' improvements in medical symptom burden and physical impairment with levels before treatment could yield better options, he said.
In Practice
As interest in the interaction between stress, anxiety and asthma grows, it is likely that providers will begin to pay more attention to patients' psychological state, particularly for those with more severe symptoms or symptoms that interrupt their daily functioning.
"Anxiety and depression lead to amplification of physical symptoms so that people complain of more minor physical symptoms as if they are major symptoms than people without anxiety or depression," Katon said.
Just as health care providers teach patients to identify and cope with cigarette smoke and pet dander, stress reduction techniques can be an important component of asthma control along with the appropriate use of medication.
"The more you know and perform self-management skills, the better you are able to control any trigger whether it is emotional or otherwise," Creer said.

- Continent/Base Bonus
Cort_Williams 4 years ago#1
I know that you get a bonus depending on where you put your base (example- Africa gives you a 30% credit bonus each month). Do you get those same bonuses when you have a satelite in each country of a continent? I though you only earned extra scientists/engineers when you did that. Any clarification would be appreciated.
kaoticusanta 4 years ago#2
Your assumption is correct. Having full satellite coverage in an area grants you their "starting base" bonus. So you should really pick your starting area based on what you need ASAP. Since everything else will eventually become available as well.
Also, while I didn't start with it myself. It's kind of obvious that the Asia bonus loses sparkle and interest as the game goes on.
chrono7777777 4 years ago#3
Oh dang! Did not know this. Must put satellites over Africa PRONTO!
Bourbon_Dingo 4 years ago#4
I went with South America just so I could spend more time on other research. It did end up costing me the chance to fully cover Africa, but everywhere but India and Australia have a satellite now. I've only lost Nigeria and Egypt.
"Why don't we play peace, instead of war?"
"No role models" - Calvin and Hobbes.
I think Africa is the best starting choice as money is scarce in the beginning, European bonus is useless and Asian bonus doesnt come into play until later (and by then you'll earn enough money for one time upgrades). South America isnt really useful as you can save a lot of research time by capturing aliens.
And I lost Egypt too, damn you greedy aliens!
Spatzimaus 4 years ago#6
The only real headache is that once you lose a country to the aliens, that country's continent bonus is now impossible to unlock. So, while starting as Africa is probably the best choice for the early-game money, it's pretty important not to lose any countries in Europe, and maybe China because you'll want those bonuses in the mid-game. North and South America's bonuses just feel worthless, so feel free to give Canada to the aliens...
Fallout10mm 4 years ago#7
I'd go asia or europe, as they have the most countries and thus the hardest to cover for the bonus, south america's bonus isnt great, as autopsies and interrogation usually only take less then a week each.
There is no overkill, there is "Open Fire" And "I have to reload".
Gamertag: Fallout10mm
incognito253 4 years ago#8
Fallout10mm is spot on about using Europe or Asia as your starting location to be able to acquire all five of the continent bonuses with the smallest investment of satellites. This is why I picked Europe for the start of my first game instead of North America.
However, upon further study, I came back to an old realization: the 'launch' phase of any base-building game (be it real-time strategy, turn-base strategy, Sim City, whatever), is all about exponential growth of resources. So while you can acquire all 5 bonuses in 1 less satellite deployment (13 satellites instead of 14 on your network, and 12 deployed by you instead of 13), there is little reason to consider Europe and Asia, as their starting base locations provide little income, and their starting bonuses suck early on in the game.
If you start in, say, Europe, and drop your first satellite in the USA to get the $180/month funding, you are looking at $280 in revenue from your first two satellites. Same with Asia. The game seems to also grant you $175/month base income before adding in national funding - all your marines are apparently taking night jobs. Back to our comparison, if you start in the USA, you can drop your first satellite in Russia for $150 revenue, for $330 from your first two satellites - and you're probably not going to have a second uplink and satellites launched before your first council meeting. Since you also get your monthly income upon startup, by the time the first month has passed, Europe (or Asia) is down $130 in optimal income.
Furthermore, after that first council meeting, you have to pay your bills. In the first month, unless you really want to spend scant resources on a lab and or workshop instead of basic gear for your soldiers (nano vests, scope, medkits, Arc Thrower) and getting your satellite network rolling, you probably won't take advantage of the very weak Europe bonus. The Asia bonus, you'll probably save $25 on your first squad size upgrade in the first month. Conversely, the USA bonus nets you $60 in savings automatically in the first 2 paychecks ($10 savings per aircraft, you start with 2 interceptors and the Skyranger). If you build an interceptor to defend your first additional satellite (you should), that's another $20 off the build cost and $10 off the first month's rent. Net savings: $90. It would take a total of 3 lab/workshops to eclipse your extra USA income + savings, which would cripple your initial economy.
I looked at the Africa proponents too. Africa's bonus makes it a very strong initial earner in the same neighborhood as the USA. Starting in Africa makes for a burgeoning gross income, and has one other sublime benefit - whether you start in North America or Africa you'll probably grab the whole other continent early on to reap the bonus. Because of the weak total income of the 3 African nations and their weak contribution in terms of engineers/scientists (5/month with continent vs 8/month for USA), if you start in Africa and grab North America, you have $100 for your home base plus $330 for the American bases. These 4 satellites will contribute in total (before All In bonus): $430 + 4 scientists + 5 engineers. Conversely, having USA plus the 3 African bases ($100, $80, $70), your same 4 satellites contribute: $430 + 3 scientists + 4 engineers.
Conclusion: The early wealth gained by selecting Africa or North America means the $50 and 0 days you'll save in building 1 less satellite (you'll need the same number of facilities) by starting in Europe/Asia is meaningless. Furthermore, this small benefit is lost if you have to drop a satellite in one of the other 3 countries on your starting continent to prevent losing their support. If you don't mind skipping the Tutorial, Africa is the best startup continent by a whisker, otherwise, start in North America.
incognito253 4 years ago#9
And one other thing with Fallout10mm's comment (I'm -really- not trying to pick on you), to his other point:
"south america's bonus isnt great, as autopsies and interrogation usually only take less then a week each."
South America's bonus actually IS great, though Fallout is correct in saying you shouldn't pick it as a starting location. Crappy income combined with good monthly specialists for 2 satellites and only saving you 1 satellite on getting a very easy to get bonus makes this the one continent you should for sure stay away from off the rip - by the time you've got the facilities and gear to interrogate aliens you should be able to get this bonus anyway. Just save your autopsies until you get the "We Have Ways" bonus.
As for my point of contention, even if you say each autopsy/interrogation only costs 3.5 days on average, that's a week of research time per species for most alien species. The result is that the saved time racks up very quickly in the early going and can be very important to a rapid expansion of the satellite network - making sure you've done ALL the necessary research to build Satellite Nexuses instead of Uplinks before you're building your 3rd satellite facility will guarantee you'll be able to get 16 satellites skyborn with only 4 facilities total - 2 uplinks and 2 nexuses in a box pattern (4+4+2+2+4 adjacency=16).
So really, grab this bonus early to take advantage of the time savings in these innumerable little researches. It will help you rapidly expand your satellite infrastructure around the globe.

Average petrol prices have risen to an all-time high of 120p a litre, eclipsing the previous peak of 119.7p seen in July 2008. With insurance premiums at record levels too, annual motoring costs have increased 8.6pc in just five months to an average of £2,539, according to Sainsbury's Finance,
It is getting worse, too. Owners of newly registered cars face even higher costs than the average motorist, after the introduction of the Government's higher rate of tax for cars registered from this month. As a result, they will now be paying an extra £105, on average, to run their car during the first year of ownership.
What's more, the average petrol price across the country is now 115.9p for a litre of unleaded and 116.6p for a litre of diesel. High petrol prices can have a significant impact on the overall cost of motoring, but there are ways people can cut other costs to lessen the blow.
PetrolPrices.com, for instance, allows drivers to compare petrol stations in their area and identify the cheapest place to fill their tanks. Simply enter your postcode or town and PetrolPrices.com will sort the stations in your area and identify the highest, lowest and average prices. You have to create an account to see the cheapest prices, but membership is free.
Changing the way that you use your car can ensure you are being most efficient with the fuel you buy. If your engine overheats it is less efficient, so always ensure your water and oil are at their recommended levels.
Worn or flat tyres use more fuel, so make regular pressure checks when you stop at petrol stations and keep your tyres in good condition. Empty your boot of any non-essential baggage as the heavier your car, the more fuel it requires to move it. Roof racks make your car less aerodynamic, which, simply put, means it takes more fuel to move your car.
Accelerating gradually from a standstill rather than revving the engine, and leaving sufficient space between your car and the car in front to brake gently when coming to a stop will save petrol.
When your policy is up for renewal there are a number of ways to keep down the cost of the premium. Younger people, for example, can reduce costs by adding an older driver to their policy, saving, on average, £268. Adding named drivers on your policy who have held a driver's licence for more than 10 years can significantly reduce your costs.
Certain providers will also allow named drivers to continue to build up their no-claims bonus.

Buskers in South Africa
The Love South Africa group on Flickr is constantly updated with fantastic images taken all over the country. Why not share your pictures, too?
Each week we choose images from this group to share on our blog. This week we are celebrating the wonderful buskers who share their passion for music with us, in exchange for a few rands.
You'll encounter street musicians practically everywhere you travel in South Africa, particularly in open-air spaces like the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, where this marimba musician was photographed.
The marimba is popular with performing groups because it lends itself to a range of musical genres, from folk favourites like the Click Song (made famous by the late Miriam Makeba) or something more classical like Bach's Minuet in G. If you see a group like this setting up, it's definitely worth sticking around to hear them perform.
Jazz trumpeter Abie Thomas busks at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town on a daily basis. He follows in the footsteps of the renowned South African jazz trumpeter Hugh Masekela, who made this instrument his own.
If you visit a local food or craft market, there's usually some music laid on, like this saxophonist performing at the Sunday Market in the Cape Quarter. Cape Town, sometimes called the jazz capital of South Africa, is home to the Cape Town International Jazz Festival, which takes place each year around Easter.
Buskers often make for great photographs and sometimes it's fun to experiment with black-and-white as this lends a bit of a nostalgic, blues feel to your photography, as in this picture of a street guitarist.
As you travel around, you are sure to encounter traditional dance groups performing outdoors. Usually their only accompaniment for their high-energy performances is song and rhythmic foot-stomping.
The busker (below right) is Magmoed Adams, another regular at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. He is playing a tin guitar, made out of an old oil can that is a hybrid of a guitar and a traditional African instrument. These tin guitars are popular with cash-strapped township musicians who use their ingenuity to create their own instruments.
When you're travelling around, don't be shy about stopping to watch a street performance, as it's well worth your time. And, as is common around the world, be sure to drop a few coins into the collection box for the musicians and dancers who lay on this wonderful form of entertainment.

Professional School Leadership
The ideal school leader is often portrayed heroically, as someone who is able to drive forward an agenda of change and improvement, whatever the challenges. Yet, the experience of school leadership is more complex. School leaders often find gaps between their aspirations and the tensions and moral uncertainties of the job, leading to high levels of personal and professional stress. These tensions arise between individuals and groups within plural school communities, while the competing priorities set for the education system by its political masters are exacerbated by the competing values and interests found in complex societies. In schools, this gives rise to specific and unavoidable dilemmas that affect individuals deeply - dilemmas which can occur on a daily basis. This book uses the concept of 'dilemmas' to rebalance an understanding of the work of school leaders. The perspectives of three disciplines - psychology, politics, and ethics - are brought to bear on the dilemmas, and this '3-D' perspective offers a fuller analysis of what is at stake. The book provides a broad understanding of factors which contribute to the experience - as well as the aspiration - of leadership. It also offers important insights into what the dilemmas reveal about the character of all public service in complex plural democracies. Such analysis is often a necessary first stage in facing up to difficult dilemmas. The book concludes with a 'toolkit' which can be used by school leaders in such situations. It is an invaluable resource for school leaders and those training for school leadership roles.
