- The sponsor/co-sponsor may mentor no more than two AHA-funded fellows (pre-doctoral and postdoctoral) concurrently. Fellows who are part of an AHA Strategically Focused Research Network are excluded.
- A predoctoral fellow may hold only one AHA award at a time.
- This award is not for individuals of faculty/staff rank.
- An applicant may submit only one Predoctoral Fellowship application per deadline.
- The fellow may not hold a comparable award as a source of supplementation. An applicant who receives AHA funding, but has an ongoing fellowship from another source, may defer the start of the AHA award up to six months in order to complete the existing fellowship.
- A Predoctoral Fellow may not hold another Association award concurrently with the Predoctoral Fellowship. However, the fellow may apply for a Postdoctoral Fellowship award in the last year of the Predoctoral Fellowship.
- Submission of an application to the AHA with identical or significantly similar content as a submission by another investigator is prohibited. Also, the submission of an application to the AHA with identical or significantly similar content from a sponsor to a grant program and his/her fellow to fellowship program is prohibited. In such cases, both applications may be removed from funding consideration. If a grant application is submitted by the sponsor of a fellowship application, both applications may be funded if there is no duplication of aims.
- Students enrolled in an M.D./Ph.D. program should apply to the Clinical Health Profession Student Training.
Peer Review Criteria
Contacting AHA peer reviewers concerning your application is deemed a form of scientific misconduct and will result in the removal of your application from funding consideration and institutional notification of ethical concerns.
In order to judge the merit of the application, reviewers will comment on the following criteria. Please be sure to address these in your proposal. Each criterion will account for one-third of the overall score.
Criterion 1 - Evaluation of the Investigator (Predoctoral Fellow)
- Does the trainee have potential for a research career?
- Are the trainee's career plans specified in the application?
- Is this supported by the trainee's academic record and the assessment provided by the three letters of reference?
- Does the trainee have prior research experience and/or publications?
- Is there a clear rationale supporting the need for the proposed training?
- What is the sponsor's assessment of the applicant?
Criterion 2 - Sponsor/Training Plan and Environment
Because the fellow receives only a stipend from the award, additional research support for the proposed project MUST come from the sponsor's laboratory. Therefore, the proposed project will likely be related to the sponsor's funded research. The sponsor should clarify the role that the applicant played in the development of the proposal, the relationship of the proposed project to ongoing research in the sponsor's laboratory, and how the project will contribute toward the training and career development of the applicant.
Sponsor/Training Plan
- Is the mentor an independent investigator?
- Does the mentor have the experience to direct the proposed research training, as evidenced by a track record regarding productivity, funding and prior trainees?
- Does the mentor have adequate current funding to support the fellow's project?
- Does the mentor demonstrate familiarity with the applicant's career and developmental goals and provide a comprehensive training plan that supports the applicant's progress towards his/her research career goals?
- Does the scientific environment in which the work will be done contribute to the probability of success for the training experience?
- Is there evidence of institutional commitment?
Criterion 3 - Evaluation of the Proposal
This section should provide a research project summary no longer than five pages: A carefully planned, systematic study aimed at clearly answering a question in cardiovascular and/or stroke health research. It should be completed in collaboration with the proposed supervisor(s) and be written in general scientific language.
Note: It is not the project per se that is being assessed. The project should be viewed as an integral part of the candidate's development as a researcher.
A new fellow may not have had adequate time to generate preliminary data. Applicants may present preliminary data generated by the sponsor. The assessment of preliminary data, whether generated by the sponsor or the applicant, should be put into perspective so that bold new ideas and risk taking by beginning investigators are encouraged rather than stymied.
- Is the proposed project appropriate for the candidate, given his/her education, experience and interests? Is the project the right balance of challenge, importance of the research question, and feasibility in relation to the candidate's experience and training?
- Does the proposed research project summary:
- Include the specific hypothesis of the research and describe the candidate's role on the project;
- Provide a concise account of the subject matter, an overview of each part of the research plan, specific project aims and the methodology;
- Reflect the significance of the project.
- For all applications that include vertebrate animals or human subjects, applicants must explain how relevant biological variables, such as sex, are factored into the research design, analysis and reporting. Furthermore, strong justification from the scientific literature, preliminary data, or other relevant considerations, must be provided for applications proposing to study only one sex
- Impact: How does this project address the mission of the AHA, and how likely will this support enhance PI career development in the area of cardiovascular diseases and stroke?
Interim Reporting - AHA requires both the fellow and sponsor to submit annual progress reports that include narrative description of accomplishments related to research and training, as well as an inventory of any abstracts and publications produced.
Evaluation of Program - Publications, citations by others, awardee's advancement to a postdoctoral fellowship, appointment to a faculty position and/or other evidence of career progression, contribution of Association support to career advancement.

Such Technologies, Such Wo n d e r s

1 DONOVAN ORTEGA Such Technologies, Such Wo n d e r s Entry from The Glossary of Technological Terms: Personal Information Device (P.I.D.): Invented by World Corp. in The P.I.D. is an internal computer that connects to the brain and spinal cord. The P.I.D. simultaneously delivers images and information to the brain while automating body movement. Use: communication and entertainment device capable of: increasing worker productivity; increasing consumer base for products; streamlining communication between consumer and producer; streamlining communication between citizens. Entry from The Green Dictionary: mindshow (n): A slang term used to describe the entertainment provided by the P.I.D. Interactive programming allows the user to directly engage with P.I.D. provided content. (Syn.) TranceState. Excerpt from Dr. Percy s Journal: Ah! Such technologies abound. The glory of the City and the P.I.D.! I have visited the Pyramids! I have watched the full moon rise over their peaks! It is something to behold. A new era has begun. It began when I became a part of the systems. It began when I became a citizen. I have discovered the secret; give in to the flow. It is calling me now. I must go back. I must feel the connection again. I need not write in this journal any longer. That era is finished. Off to see the world! There is a City and there is Town. I live in the City, but I am from the Town. Beyond the Town is the Ocean. My name is Derrick. In the City, invisible strings connect us. There is nothing we do not know. Computers lodged in our ears bind us. Our thoughts control what we see. What we see controls our thoughts. The presentation is wonderful. The graphics outstanding. There is little need for talking. Our relationships are mirages. Everything is possible, says the P.I.D. Citizens never war. We work and play between the double-sided veils of the P.I.D. We move about the City automatically. We should never be disconnected from the P.I.D., we are told. We never pull aside the veil. The P.I.D. makes us feel warm. It is always present. We are important. People like us, says the P.I.D. Our lives are good, says the P.I.D. We are appreciated, says the P.I.D. And it feels so good to be addressed. It feels so good to have access. It feels so good to be notified. I came to the City from the Town. My parents brought me here. The Politkins came 9
2 to us from the City in dark suits. They promised it would be better. The P.I.D. is the final move, they said. You ll be at the center of it all, they said. You won t have to work, they said. The wise retreated into their homes when the Politkins arrived. They had seen the smogcloud and the City s jagged skyline. They had seen the buildings sprouting higher and faster. A new building every day, some estimated. The City was coming, they said. Soon everything will be City, they warned. On an especially bright night I saw a citywoman walking through the woods, her eyes black like a well and the telltale hum of a P.I.D. in her ear. She had gotten lost. A defective P.I.D., the Politkins asserted. They patched the defect. The City was getting closer. My parents ignored me. No use fighting progress, they said. The City would be ours, they said. So we moved. Excerpt from Dr. Percy s Journal: I have been deceived. We all have been deceived. I came out of the TranceState and found my mother dead. It appears she starved to death. She had forgotten to eat. I have been disconnected for seven days and each morning brings new horrors. I had my P.I.D. removed. Dr. Percy dug it out with a pair of surgical pliers. It had been two years since we moved to the City. My parents sat on the couch, amused. They loved each other very much. They had been holding hands for weeks. My mother had bedsores so bad the couch was stained in her blood and puss. She wouldn t move. My father hadn t noticed. I felt like everything was dead. I missed the companionship of the P.I.D. Dr. Percy told me to expect that. But I couldn t look at my parents. When I saw them with unveiled eyes I knew the truth; they were breathing corpses traveling in an electronic grid. They sat on the couch slack-jawed, consumed in themselves by a parade of zeroes and ones. My father s eyes caved. He was watching a program about exotic flo-gliders. I could tell because his feet would jolt as if he was shifting gears. His P.I.D. was humming in his ear. He thought he was on a racetrack in Sudan. He saw it all, a pretty picture in his mind. When I tied the bed sheet around his neck, he didn t move. When I tightened it and pulled, he struggled. I pulled tighter. He gasped. My mother didn t notice her husband being strangled. She was watching a political debate between two men wearing top hats and bathing suits. She smiled. She enjoyed the mindshow. I held on to both ends of the sheet until my father was dead. Then I put the sheet around my mother s neck and pulled. She died more quickly. I left them sitting on the couch looking better than they had before. They didn t look so stupid. 10 Coastlines
3 Excerpt from Dr. Percy s Journal: At the center of the world is the City a terminal of connectivity. It is rapidly spreading outward. The Town will be consumed. It will disappear underneath thousands of miles of pavement, steel, concrete, glass, and raging gears. I imagine pairs of tiny feet stepping into an intersection and crossing a street where a river used to be. The Town will become a P.I.D. headquarters: new antennae, new broadcasting stations. A launch pad built in the meadow. Satellite Rockets go up every day now. I didn t think about my parents. I went for a walk. I wanted to get back to Town. I stepped out of our building and entered a human mass that gathered speed, stopped, and churned, propelled forward by the collective P.I.D. Flo-gliders rumbled in the street, and we marched on wide sidewalks beneath concrete CityScrapers that rose above a heavy blanket of smogcloud that covered the City. I attached myself to this flow. I was on the street, and I walked within the masses. We were like soldiers in forgotten armies, branching off violently and disappearing into dark doorways, pulled by invisible twine into shops and markets to make purchases, yanked into houses of whores to copulate, slammed into Subtracts to travel, flattened into hotels to sleep, torn from our thoughts to be entertained. I stepped to the pace of this undulating current and felt the accumulation of energy: electronic hums, blood-filled heartbeats, blank faces, blank eyes. They all marched, and I marched, too. I didn t have a choice. I d be trampled if I fell. I missed the P.I.D. I wanted it back. I felt like everything was dead. I had the urge to buy something. I thought about masturbating. I envisioned suicide. I thought about my father sitting slumpfaced on the couch. A girl marched next to me. I thought about what she might look like naked. I wanted to throw her down and rip open her gray blouse. I thought about what to eat for lunch. I thought about red wine and a pill mill. I thought about repetition. I saw gray everywhere was gray and the City swelled like a wave, stopped and churned, stopped and churned. I felt it would never stop. Excerpt from Dr. Percy s Personal Journal: I freed another today. A sixteen-year-old boy named Derrick. He looked so scared when he approached me. I was sitting in a cafeteria and he said, quite plainly, I d like to kill you. I could hear his P.I.D. humming. He was frightened. It can be quite unsettling to realize you re not in Italy or Australia or an African Safari and in the middle of a drab cafeteria in a pollutionsoaked City. 11
4 Your eyes are different mine are too your eyes are like mine, he told me. Do you want to kill things? he asked. Against my better judgment, I removed his P.I.D.. I told him to go to the Town. I told him the Town will be his only comfort. I told him I wanted to kill myself. He nodded in approval. There are more and more coming out of the TranceState. Violence seems to be a natural reaction to P.I.D. withdrawal. Having a P.I.D. removed is like awakening in hell. You couldn t blame the boy for killing. His victims would most likely thank him. It s all heaven above the smog. I got on the Subtract. It ran beneath the City and could take you out of the City. I had to get out of the City. I had to go to Town. I thought about suicide again. I had the urge to buy something. I thought about taking my clothes off and running in front of a flo-glider. I had to get out of the City. I sat in the silver speed tube, and we flew through miles of underground track. I sat on a metal bench between two men in business suits. Our knees were touching, but they didn t notice. They stared into their palms. They were transfixed. Their P.I.D.s were feeding them the wonders of information. The man on my right was particularly enthused. A globule of drool fell from his mouth and landed in his lap. Across from me a little girl pulled on her mother s skirt. She didn t have a P.I.D. Six-year-olds had them now. She was probably five. She looked at me. I nodded. She seemed to understand. She looked back at her mother and then at me again. Her hair was cropped short. She looked as if she had been playing outside. Her knees were scraped, and her white dress had dark asphalt smudges on the front. She said her name was Ramona. I told her mine. Derrick is a stupid name, she said. Yeah, I know, I answered. I looked to see if anyone noticed we were talking. It would be peculiar to talk to someone on the Subtract. Do you want to see me do a cartwheel? she asked. Yes, I d really love that. She did it, a little half cartwheel. I wondered where she learned how. Ramona tugged on her mother s skirt. She wanted her to watch. Ramona looked at me again, and I motioned for her to do it. She did another cartwheel. I clapped. No one looked. The mother was in the TranceState. Her eyes caved into her head. So the girl tugged a little harder on her skirt. She kicked at her mother s shins. Her mother s eyes were still and black. Ramona got down on her knees and bit her mother s calves. I watched her do it. The mother seemed to be enjoying the mindshow. She had a queer-looking smile on her face. The girl bit harder, a greedy bite of disgust. 12 Coastlines
5 The mother woke up; her eyes focused. She kicked out a leg. The toe of her boot caught the little girl in the mouth. The child bled and cried. A tooth was knocked out. I saw the blood pooling on the floor. The mother looked at her calves. There were red teeth marks. The child cried. I watched. I wanted Ramona to stop crying. The mother did too. She reached into a pocket and pulled out a candypiece. She tried to put it in the girl s mouth. Ramona bit her finger. The mother got angry and forced open Ramona s mouth by squeezing her lower jaw. The mother forced the candypiece down her daughter s throat. Ramona was much quieter after that. She sat next to her mother with her mouth open, looking at something that wasn t there. The front of her dress was covered in blood. The Subtract was filled, but no one looked at the pool of blood in the middle of the aisle. It congealed. The Subtract hissed and stopped. Ramona s mother picked her up. No one looked at her. A man chuckled to himself and stepped in the blood puddle. The girl s arm hung limply from her side. It struck the Subtract doorway as her mother hauled her off the train. Everything was dead. I picked up her tooth and put it in my pocket. Excerpt from Dr. Percy s Journal: The connectivity of the P.I.D. cannot be stopped. More people are dying violently. I saw someone throw themselves in front of a Subtract yesterday. A week ago I saw a man buy a muffin and then shoot himself in the mouth. The City is filled with mindlessness. It is getting worse. I will save some. I will try. The P.I.D.s must be removed. The P.I.D. s power is very strong. Not many of us can recognize its faults. It looks good sometimes, even to me. I know the truth of the P.I.D., but it is becoming more difficult to resist. I got off the Subtract. I was out of the City. I wanted to be in the center of Town. I wanted to be surrounded by things that were real. I wanted my parents to be with me. I wanted religion. I thought about church and spandex and crucifixes. I walked up the stairs, out of the Subtract station, and into the Town. It bustled. The streets were narrow, hedged in by shops and apartments. It looked like a small European village. It was cozy. It was early evening, and the street lamps were beginning to glow. The road sloped downward and curved. People walked on the sidewalks and spoke quietly. It breathed authenticity. It breathed perfection. I missed my parents. A flo-glider ripped through the streets. A disposal vehicle hissed and stopped. A mindshow projector cast a pop-up advertisement above the road and shone over the street. We 13
6 all watched. The display commanded our view. It was colorful: Young men at a bar. The sound of ice cubes clinking in glass. Her breasts were sexualized. Sexualized? And I touched them. No. Yes. No. Yes. Sip. Sip. Sip. Ice cubes clinking in glass. The ad disappeared, and the street was awash in lamplight. I was thirsty. Everything felt cozy again. I walked to Zereldo s Café. It wasn t far. The café sat beneath Highway D on the corner of Old Dixie Street and Keventon Way. I wanted to see the old men smoking cigars on the patio. I had always liked watching them, and they always came. They might be able to tell me what to do. Zereldo s was real. I was sure of it. At Zereldo s you could barely hear the flo-gliders humming and blasting on the highway two hundred feet above you. I knew if you closed your eyes the high-pitched traffic of tandem motorcycles and modified-racers on the street disappeared too. I knew that Zereldo s was a quintessential French café: wrought iron tables on the patio, chairs with tan cushions, oak ashtrays, a large glass window with white stenciled lettering that said Café. I knew a red and white striped awning covered the patio and a cobbled pathway cut through the red brick and led to an elegant glass entryway. Inside, pastries careened into pastries in lit display cases cream cheese Danishes, chocolate éclairs, apple crumb cakes. The baguettes were stacked on wooden barrels, salami hung from twine, glazed hams roasted on spits, croissants were piled into baskets. I knew Zereldo s smelled like warm bread, and I liked the clink-clink of espresso spoons on the ceramic plates. Zereldo s was a sanctuary, a drop of the Parisian. I saw three old men sitting around a table. I picked a table next to them. A young waiter approached. I ordered coffee and a Danish. I felt good. I felt at home. The old men smoked thick cigars. They looked at the young women who walked inside. They stared at their tits. They said hello. They joked about the evening and that they were sharing it together. And they d poke each other in the ribs after the young woman with the tits or the legs or the ass would walk inside the café. They puffed their thick cigars so the smoke hovered above their heads like steam fog on a lake. The things they might do with a woman like that. Those tits, they said. That ass. Those big thighs they d make steaks. I found it strange that I thought listening to their crudeness refreshing. It was nice. It was cozy. It was clear they hadn t gotten erections in years. They laughed about that too. They were content in their celibacy. They wore it like military uniforms, their jests salutes to their shriveled cocks. That s why the women smiled at them. They understood that behind their 14 Coastlines
7 bawdy humor was the virginity of little boys. Those old men, they thought, I ll miss them when they re dead. I looked at the way they prepared their coffee. They dashed a bit of cream inside the blackness of their mugs explosions of milk clouds. They hummed old songs. They stirred with their spoons they stirred with their metal spoons until the coffee was the color of toffee. And they sipped, they sipped these very old men, these heroes of the café. I was mesmerized; I was disgusted. The café wasn t right. There was one on every corner. Across the street I could see another red and white awning, another patio more chairs with tan cushions. It had always been like this, I knew. Zereldo s was a product. I had been to France in my mind. The P.I.D. had taken me there. This wasn t French. It was different. The P.I.D. had showed me the truth. The café was playing the part of a café. The old men were playing the parts of old men. They were missing something. I thought about the City. I missed the City. Everything was better in the City. I heard the highway above me. The flo-gliders wailed. The waiter brought my coffee and Danish. I bit into the Danish sawdust, I thought. I walked inside the café a coloring book, I realized. The hams were plastic, glazed in plastic, and had been spinning for years. The baguettes were props. The pastries were delivered frozen, shrink-wrapped and heated in giant microwaves. The smell of warm bread was pumped through vents in the ceiling. I had considered Zereldo s quaint because I didn t know that it was a representation of quaint. I knew what quaint was. The P.I.D. had shown me. The Town was a theme park. I thought about the ocean. I thought about my dead parents. I thought about mass murder. How easy it would be. I thought about the old men and Dr. Percy. I thought about giving in. I thought about going back to the City. I thought about suicide. I approached the old men at the table. None of this is real, I told them. They looked at me. The one called Jack said this: Just out of the City, yes? Yes. But this isn t real. The hams are plastic, I said. Jack was a sinister looking man. He had a shock of wild gray beard that extended from his chin to the bottom of his throat. The hams are plastic, he said. Take a seat, kid. Have another cup of coffee. I sat down, said nothing, and watched Jack s beard move up and down. They finished one another s sentences, recounting struggles with the toilet seat and the absurdity of their lives. There was something authentic in it. They turned to me suddenly. Jack looked at me quizzically. What do you want? asked Jack. I want to kill you, I said. When I said it, I felt good. 15
8 Jack looked at me. He smiled. I want to kill you too, I said to Elliot. I want to kill everyone in this Town. That is exactly how I feel, like a murderer. Kill me then, said Jack. How would you do it? asked Elliot. He took a puff from his cigar and crossed his legs. I d beat you to death. With my fists I d pummel you, I said. I d let you, too, said Jack. But you couldn t kill me. You don t have the guts. I killed my parents, I said. With a bed sheet. I did it, and I don t feel bad. This Town, that City, you pathetic old men, that horrible waiter, this disgusting food, this fake coffee shop, your death, my death there s a beauty in blood, and I like to see it. I d kill myself if I wasn t so afraid. How would you like me to do it? I ll do it, too. I ll kill myself in front of you. I stood up and looked for something sharp. Jack put his hand on the butter knife that sat in front of him. You know what I like about you? said Elliot. You re dark. I laughed. Jack and Elliot laughed. I picked up Elliot s plate and smashed a passing waiter in the face with it. He wailed on the ground. He was bleeding badly from his cheek. Elliot and Jack rose from their seats and looked at the waiter sprawled on the ground. I picked up a glass and threw it at the waiter s head. It cracked, and the waiter stopped wailing. He bled from two places now. I looked at Jack and Elliot. They looked at the waiter on the ground. They sat down and looked around the café. No one came. Their heads were swiveling. They didn t know where to look. I kicked the waiter in the stomach. He coughed up phlegm and blood. He was choking now. Then a flo-glider zipped on the street; a pop-up advertisement glowed over the avenue; three women wearing short skirts walked into Zereldo s; Jack s and Elliot s heads turned; a waiter tripped; I sat down and signaled for another cup of coffee. I asked Jack where the coast was. That way, he said and pointed. I took a sip of coffee. It tasted like scorched metal. Excerpt from Dr. Percy s Personal Journal: The stress of P.I.D. withdrawal is enormous. I am starting to believe that it is useless to try and wrest anyone from its grasp. The aftereffects are almost always violent. I removed a P.I.D. from a woman yesterday. She tried to kill me and promptly threw herself off my balcony. It is getting more dangerous. The Politkins visited my home. They asked me what I knew. I fooled them. But I won t be able to do it for much longer. I am destined to become a martyr, I think. The connectivity spreads. It s everywhere now. I think I will go to the Town tomorrow. But it s just as bad, I suspect. The Town will be completely overrun eventually. 16 Coastlines
9 I stole a bicycle. I could hear the old men laughing as I took it. I was cruising. The streets rushed by. They looked different at night. I dodged pedestrians. I pedaled fast. The road led to the ocean, and I rode. I reached the apex of a hill and coasted down. It felt good to have the wind against my face. I rode up and down the hills as shop windows rushed by: Zereldo s, Flo-glide Repair, another Zereldo s, Silky s, Vegetable Dome, Smart Shows, Naked Girls, The Flower Shop. I could recognize the little cultural props all around the Town. Every restaurant, office building, movie theatre, curb, toilet, and sewer spoke to a nostalgia that no longer existed. Civilization began to thin, and the forest thickened. I began to hear things that sounded like animals crickets and owls forest noises. I could hear waves on the beach. I rode my bike towards them. It was good because I could almost forget the insanity of the City and the Town. Everything felt alive in the forest. I rode the bike harder. I wanted to throw myself in the ocean. I wanted to be covered in the water that splashed against the shore. I wanted to be clean. I saw the final hill. I felt what I remembered to be a sea breeze, and I ditched the bicycle when the path ended. I ran up the final sand dune, and the beach was before me. The moon sat low against the horizon. Its white light cast a greenish tinge over the sea that looked so strangely beautiful against the whiteness of the sand. I took off my shoes and stepped onto the sand. It felt good between my toes. I walked to the water. I dipped a toe into the surf. I shivered. It felt good. I looked into the sky. There were faintly glowing stars. At that moment, I wanted to be an astronomer. I ran back up the sand dune and could see the City and the Town. The City lights illuminated the thick cloud of smog that surrounded it. Towers on the tops of the CityScrapers blinked red and green and blue. The Town twinkled at its base. I could see lights in the windows of country homes and quaint shops. I could see that the City was getting closer to the Town. It was hard to distinguish one from the other. A satellite rocket burst from the City smogcloud and soared into the sky. Its booster flared red in the black sky. It looked beautiful. The rocket was prettier than the stars, prettier than the moon, prettier than anything. I watched it until it disappeared. I wanted to be on that rocket. I thought about my parents. I was glad they were dead, and I missed them. I reached into my pocket and touched Ramona s tooth. It was sharp, a baby tooth. It made me happy to have it. I remembered her. I sat down on the sand dune and watched the stars glow above me and fell asleep. I dreamed of a P.I.D. paradise. I dreamed of Politkins. I dreamed of Zereldo s CEO. He was picking out his little girl s hair color. He d already picked out her height. He wanted her to be tall. Very tall.

Considering ultherapy for jowls? 52 years old & very thin face. How many lines should I be treated with for lower face only?
Doctor Answers 6
Number of lines will vary with Ultherapy
The number of lines will between patents, some will require more some less. Ultherapy is also operator depended. There is a standard protocol that we follow, however some specialist will lay more lines in areas to give a 'vector' lift. I find that this treatment is also dependent on ethnicity, as if you have good collagen that contracts easily, the less number of lines are needed to achieve a good results. Video shows the procedure, skip to 13 minutes to see the before and after at 3 months after just one treatment using standardised protocols. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim, Brisbane, Australia.

Can I use Fog to deploy a single application?
8 Replies
Jul 14, 2010 at 9:54 UTC
I would say no. It's an imaging tool; not an app deployment tool.
Jul 14, 2010 at 10:58 UTC
Fog does some really cool stuff, I haven't tried their most recent version but they did for a while play with scripting I would have to check again, I havent used it for anything other than imaging and renaming computers in a while.
However, I would use AD for pushing apps. What are you hoping to roll out?
Jul 14, 2010 at 11:21 UTC
Just small applications.... Say I image and deploy and later a group of users needs some small application which they will. How can you do this without going to each machine?
Jul 14, 2010 at 12:29 UTC
You can do it a couple ways in AD. Check this how to for adobe that I wrote a couple years ago.
you can use the same procedure for many packages. You can also publish software so people can grab it if they need it but I don't know anyone who does this.
Jul 14, 2010 at 2:19 UTC
I will give this a try and see if it get the department pass this issue.
Jul 14, 2010 at 2:31 UTC
You can also script installes but the AD push is a really good way to go.
Jul 15, 2010 at 8:12 UTC
+1 for Deploying via AD. I only deploy a basic OS + Office install and the latest version of nearly everything else comes on via AD automagically. Haven't yet tried FOG but that's high on my To Do list.
DigitalBlacksmith's How To looks pretty complete, though note that 1/2 his steps are specific to Adobe, if you've already got a basic MSI installer you can have something done in a few minutes.
Then all you have to do is keep an eye on the Software Inventory in Spiceworks & follow up any that don't report an update!

Also, you probably already paid for the desktop copy of windows and the apps and would have to buy CALs and a hefty server to run them remotely. X, on the other hand, has always been location and OS agnostic and the current free Cygwin version seems pretty good. I haven't tested it on exactly the same hardware as an ltsp client but a PII 350 laptop running Win2k/Cygwin seems fast enough. --- Les Mikesell les futuresource com

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was asked to put out signs for my employers son who is a current republican congressman in the state of Florida. I said I was not a republican and I would not feel right campaigning for a Republican, he said "well you work for me and will do what I ask. You can find another job. " I said "if it will cost me my job I will put them out. " Then, he said "that comment just cost you your job."
Highly improper and wrongful under both state and federal laws. And I am certain that your local Republican party group would not be pleased to hear about this either, as any lawsuit would likely call press coverage to the dispute. Contact a good employment lawyer who is in your area to discuss how to strategically handle this matter in a professional yet respectful manner.
The foregoing is not legal advice nor is it in any manner whatsoever meant to create or impute an attorney/client relationship.Ask a similar question
Thank you very much, your the first to respond. I've never been in a situation like this before, do you know how to contact a "good" employment lawyer?
Good place to start is with the Florida Bar: http://www.floridabar.org/divpgm/lronline.nsf/wreferral6?OpenForm
Whether your employer's instructions and the assignment to place the signs was unlawful or improper depends on the nature of your employment. There are certainly many kinds of employment for which that work assignment would raise no legal issues. If the work assignment itself is not improper, your termination was not unlawful because you were an at will employee and at will employees can be terminated for almost any reason (the exceptions are not raised by anything of your factual recitals in your post). If for some reason the assignment itself was improper, then very likely the termination was unlawful.
The important distinction here is that, based on what you have written, you were not terminated for not being Republican or any other "political" reason. You were terminated for refusing for personal reasons to do a specific task and/or for a defiant and hostile attitude and statement when your employer pressed you to complete the task as assigned. In at will employment, terminations on such facts are not unlawful. Based on your post, it seems that you conflated installing the signs with "campaigning." But, if you think about it, there is a substantial and powerful difference. The installers of billboards don't get to refuse assignments because they don't like the advertised product.
My responses to questions on Avvo are never intended as legal advice and must not be relied upon as legal advice. I give legal advice only in the course of an attorney-client relationship. Exchange of information through Avvo's Questions forum does not establish an attorney-client relationship with me. That relationship is established only by individual consultation and execution of a written agreement for legal services.Ask a similar question
I was hired to do Lawn Maintenance.
I did not refuse the assignment i said i didn't feel right doing it and if it would cost me job then I will do it
Talk with a local employment attorney for a fuller analysis. My view is that your termination is most likely not unlawful.

Alabama is used to being in these situations, and Ohio State is getting reacquainted with it. The Tide has won three national championships in the past five seasons and three Southeastern Conference championships in the past six. The Buckeyes are back as a national championship contender after beating Wisconsin 59-0 in the Big Ten Championship Game. OSU, which lost in the Big Ten title game last season, has not played in a national championship game since losing to LSU 38-24 after the 2007 season and hasn't won a national championship since 2002.
Ohio State offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Tom Herman has a lot on his plate as the new head coach at Houston. For now, his primary responsibility is trying to help the Buckeyes get to the championship game, and his players say they haven't seen the dual roles have any impact on him. Other coordinators have successfully juggled two responsibilities in similar situations, though some have been adversely affected. Even if Herman isn't affected, he still has quite a challenge in preparing an inexperienced quarterback (Cardale Jones) to face the No. 1 team in the country.
If either team has an appreciable edge in turnovers, it could decide who moves on and who goes home. During the regular season, the Buckeyes were the better of the two. Their 21 interceptions are fourth-most in the country, and the Tide has just 10. Ohio State's defense has scored five touchdowns, and the Buckeyes are plus-9 in turnover margin. Bama's defense has scored one touchdown, and the Tide is minus-1 in turnover margin. Bama QB Blake Sims has generally protected the football, but he threw three interceptions against Auburn two games ago.
This game features two of the most successful coaches in college football in Alabama's Nick Saban and Ohio State's Urban Meyer. Saban has won four national championships — at LSU (2003) and Alabama (2009, 2011 and 2012). Meyer, who won two national championships as head coach at Florida, has returned the Buckeyes to national prominence in three seasons. The coaches have gone head-to-head three times as Meyer's Gators beat Saban's Tide in the 2008 SEC title game, and Bama beat Florida in the 2009 SEC title game and a 2010 regular-season game.

I am pulling my son out of public school tomorrow. He is really bright with a learning disability. I am confident
this is the right move and have confidence that I will be an improvement over the road he has been down
these past 7 years in school. How do I "get over" the idea that he has to take certain classes, fill
certain requirements, etc.? I think we both need to "decompress" for a while and get a game plan.
I am looking for any words of encouragement and/or suggestions! I am excited. I want to focus on making
my son a decent person with a love of learning rather than pigeon-holing him.
It is a process, the "getting over" your expectations, so be kind to yourself. You've most likely have had these expectations built up over a lifetime. Long after your son has "deschooled", you'll likely still be deschooling yourself as well. I know I am, and I never have sent my kids to school nor wanted to. I have been philosophically in-line-ish with unschooling for about 5 years now, and I still find myself struggling with my own public-schooled expectations.
I'm guessing your son is in middle school? You might have a harder time letting go, because it seems to me to be the age that parents start panicking if anything seems "behind" or resisted or ignored. With younger children, it is easier for a parent with confidence to just kick back and take the long view of things.
Parents of older children probably have better, more specific advice, but I would first take the break that you are looking for . Give yourself that break, too. Maybe even set a date to mentally revisit your expectations and see if they have relaxed. Then, read some books, chat with folks in the community and online, observe your son, and do this while he is still in deschoolng mode. Maybe by the end of your own mental break, those fears and doubts will not be so overwhelming once you've had a chance to see your son outside of the school setting, with no educational expectations. At least you'll get a clearer view and operate less out of panic and more out of understanding.

Transcript: President Barack Obama's remarks on the government shutdown & debt ceiling at Martha's Table – Oct. 14, 2013
Posted by Jenny Jiang on Monday, October 14, 2013 · Leave a Comment
Partial transcript of President Barack Obama's remarks on the government shutdown and the debt ceiling at Martha's Table on Oct. 14, 2013:
Now, this week, we'll be entering into the third week of a government shutdown that was completely unnecessary.
And I'm going to have the opportunity to meet again with the congressional leaders this afternoon and I am going to once again urge them to open the government and make sure that the United States government is paying its bills. This is fairly simple, and this whole shutdown has been completely unnecessary.
Keep in mind that the problem is not that the U.S. government has run out of money. The problem is not that our deficits are going up. Our deficits have actually been cut in half since I came into office and are continuing to go down. The problem is not that there is not the opportunity for us to work intelligently to come up with a budget that creates long-term fiscal stability while still investing in growth.
The problem is we've seen this brinksmanship as a strategy time and time again to try to extract extreme or partisan concessions. And I think the American people have made very clear that's not how we expect Washington to do business.
There are going to be differences between the parties. There are going to be differences in terms of budget priorities. But we don't need to inflict pain on the American people or risk the possibility that America's full faith and credit is damaged just because one side is not getting its way.
And not only is it untenable for us to continue this shutdown, this week if we don't start making some real progress both in the House and the Senate and if Republicans aren't willing to set aside some of their partisan concerns in order to do what is right for the country, we stand a good chance of defaulting and defaulting would have a potentially devastating effect on our economy, sending interest rates shooting up. People – whether it's Social Security recipients or people with disabilities or business people who are vendors to the government – not getting paid on time.
We've already had a dampening effect on our economy because of the shutdown. That damage would be greatly magnified if we don't make sure that the government is paying its bills and that has to be decided this week…
They can solve this problem today and it doesn't mean that the differences between Democrats and Republicans go away. That's what elections are for. But between elections, we're supposed to be governing and we're not supposed to be hurting the very people who send us to represent them. I hope that kind of spirit holds true during the course of discussions today and over the next several days.
Thank you very much.

Question: Perinatal Encephalopathy
|twotonies - Mon May 02, 2005 2:21 pm
Share |
My husband and I are in the process of adopting a child from Russia. We have received a medical report which states "perinatal encephalopathy". She is a carrier of antibodies of Hepatitis C, and is being serologically monitored for congenital syphilis. What is the prognosis? I would greatly appreciate your reviewing the report, which I can fax to you.
|Dr. Heba Ismail - Fri May 06, 2005 5:00 am
Share |
'Perinatal encephalopathy' indicates an insult during the perinatal period (pregnancy, labour, or immediately after delivery) resulting in compromised blood and/or oxygen supply to the baby's brain. This could have serious effects on a child's neurological development, but it may also result in minor effects which could pass unnoticed. Some children escape all side effects and grow normally.
As for hepatitis C infection, if proven, it could seriously affect the liver, although very slowly, and is also infectious, through contact with body secretions or blood.
If the child has congenital syphilis and the maternal status is unknown, the child will need to be treated as if infected, untill lab follow up proves whether she is infected or was just carrying her mother's antibodies.

Great Stuff 03/01/2014
This review is from: Cooler Master Nepton 280L - All-In-One CPU Liquid Water Cooling System with 280mm Radiator and 2 JetFlo Fans
Idle running at 18 degrees Celsius in a room that 71 degrees.... pretty sexy. Install was dumb-foundingly easy.... the instructions are harder to read haha
Other Thoughts:
I have this system mounting on the inside top of a Cosmos 2 case with the fan inside of the top bay screws the into the radiator from above, works beautifully. I wish the screws were longer for my configuration as I have to balance the fans on the radiator from hit the case... but this is just me.... I just applied some double sided spacers and we're good to go.

Richard Goodface, Duane Brown ID'd by Denver Police as city's great storm grate robbers
Large photos below.
You know times are tough when stealing heavy storm grates for their scrap value seems like a reasonable way to make money. But that's what the folks at the Denver Police Department think Richard Goodface and Duane Brown have been doing. They've both been booked on investigation of felony theft. Look below to get more details from the DPD and the public works department, as well as to see full-sized mugs of Goodface and Brown.
Denver Police Department releases:
The suspects involved the thefts of the storm grates have been identified as Duane Brown (DOB 07/14/83) and Richard Goodface (DOB 03/22/79). Both suspects were booked into the Denver City Jail for investigation of Felony Theft.
Previous release, October 13:
On October 13, 2010, Denver Police arrested two men in the process of selling stolen storm grates at a Denver salvage yard. The two men are believed to have taken as many as 16 storm grates in the Denver area. The two suspects are being held for investigation of Felony Theft. They are currently being interviewed and processed into the City jail so their identity is not known at this time.
Denver Police have recovered the majority of the stolen storm grates.
Previous release from the Denver Department of Public Works on October 11, 2010
Storm Grate Thefts Concern for Denver
Storm Grate Theft on Rise; City Asks Residents to be Alert
DENVER, CO -- October 12, 2010 -- Denver Public Works Wastewater Management Division asks residents to be on the look out for a thief (thieves) stealing storm grates. To date 15 storm grates have been stolen in the area between 9th Avenue and 14th Avenue and Monaco Street Parkway and Holly Street.
The storm grates, weighing approximately 150 pounds each, are believed to be stolen to sell as scrap metal. While the dollar amount a thief would receive for the storm grate is minimal, the replacement cost to the City is nearly $200 per grate.
If residents see a storm grate being taken by anyone other than a uniformed City employee in a City vehicle, they are asked to call 911. Anyone with knowledge of this crime is asked to please call 720-913-2000. To report a missing storm grate please call 311.

The new functionality enables operators to extend voice service coverage from smartphones to Wi-Fi-only devices such as tablets and personal computers. It argues this will create value for consumers and bring operators new business opportunities.With Wi-Fi calling for multi-device, consumers can use devices that have only Wi-Fi access capabilities to make regular voice calls over any Wi-Fi network. The consumer's personal devices can be located at different Wi-Fi access points anywhere in the world, while their smartphone can be on cellular access or any Wi-Fi access point, and consumers can choose to pick up calls on any of the devices.Calls can therefore be made in locations with poor cellular coverage, such as inside residential buildings. In addition, consumers are no longer forced to rely on over-the-top voice services over Wi-Fi access. Wi-Fi calling for multi-device is integrated natively in devices that support this functionality, meaning that consumers can enjoy an easy-to-use and intuitive service.Anders Olin, Head of Product Area Network Functions, Ericsson, said: "While natively integrated Wi-Fi calling in smartphones has been commercially available for some time, both consumers and operators can benefit from extending this functionality to multiple devices."
