Motorola DROID 2 goes pre-sale Aug 11, in-stores Aug 12
In case you need a refresher on why this is probably the biggest news of the week, let us say that the DROID 2 is the successor to the DROID, which is kind of the Godfather of Android smartphones in the U.S.
Information coming straight from the horse's mouth is actually confirming what was previously known, including a faster processor, Android 2.2 with Flash Player 10.1 support and 3G Mobile HotSpot capabilities. Great for first-time users, but doesn't seem like a lot of reasons to upgrade for proud DROID owners, who are getting Android 2.2 and Flash anyway. (On second thought, that new 1GHz TI OMAP chipset is really worth a closer look...)
Verizon and Motorola are also promising a more usable QWERTY keyboard this time around, and we surely hope the Motorola DROID 2 will live up to that (at least there's no d-pad on the side, which is a good start).
Now that we've said the important stuff, let us mention that the DROID 2 will also be offered as a limited-edition R2-D2 version, which will be available online in September. The R2-D2 edition will come with a different appearance that should remind of the famous droid (but will it be able to fly?), and will also contain exclusive Star Wars content.
So there you have it, folks – the Motorola DROID 2, available everywhere from August 12 for $199.99 with a two-year contract, as well as a limited R2-D2 edition coming later in September. Now excuse us, we were just watching "Return of the Jedi".

They're ruining the greatest saga of our time by putting that silver "Motorola" on it. How dare they..
5. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
it actually looks better than the first droid, which was/is an ugly phone - man, if I had verizon, I would be getting this phone. I am sure XDA will be looking to create a ROM for it, too. Hopefully, the issues with supply that have hurt the other droids do not affect this beast,

Was going to jump on this phone this week .... but then yesterday I hear about the Droid Pro coming out. Thanks to sites like phonearena, I keep holding out getting a new phone cause I keep hearing about the next great thing coming out soon.

Whoa PA..."DROID, which is kind of the Godfather of Android smartphones in the US"...don't say that. You're startin an all out war with those who don't have Verizon to grow green with envy.

Pfizer's marketing strategy has changed through the years and now boasts a newer message with their advertisements that claim that any man that takes Viagra will have a new and even better, rock hard erection. It sends sort of a devilish message that the women will know when something is different with even the most average Joe because he is on Viagra. This sends a message to men who have a tendency to already be obsessed with their own penis when it is fully erect. This was not the original message that was supposed to be sent but rather one of a 50 something man who because of health problems has lost his ability to engage in sex with his wife, he sees his doctor and miraculously gets some Viagra and life is happy ever after from there on out.

As might be expected, research studies indicate that the frequency of practice between particular cheating behaviours varies greatly. Furthermore, a negative relationship exists between cheating practices which students claim occur frequently, and those practices that a large percentage of students define as cheating [1]. For example, a widely practised form of cheating involves paraphrasing material from another source without acknowledgement, and this was generally rated as a mild form of cheating by students. Similarly the most serious forms of cheating involved cheating in examinations, and these were the least reported as practised or perceived as happening by students [9].
Appellant appears before the bar of this Court pro se. If, in fact, his work since the Administrative Law hearing is pro se, Appellant is a person of remarkable intellect and ability. He does not appear to grasp the self-evident fact that he has not earned his doctorate. He continues to seek shelter under the shield of a professor who is more culpable in this case than is the Appellant. His confidence is ill-placed, and the regrettable failures of both Dr. Frost and the Appellant have borne bitter fruit.

To say that listeners attempt to construct points is not, however, to make clear just what sort of thing a 'point' actually is. Despite recent interest in the pragmatics of oral stories (Polanyi 1979, 1982; Robinson 1981), conversations (Schank et al. 1982), and narrative discourse generally (Prince 1983), definitions of point are hard to come by. Those that do exist are usually couched in negative terms: apparently it is easier to indicate what a point is not than to be clear about what it is. Perhaps the most memorable (negative) definition of point was that of Labov (1972: 366), who observed that a narrative without one is met with the "withering" rejoinder, "So what?" (Vipond & Hunt, 1984)

Save your money,
This review is from: The Art of Wedding Photography: Professional Techniques with Style (Paperback)
I bought this book because of a reference to it in another wedding photo book review ... it's terribly disappointing!
Clearly written by a non-photographer, this book contains gems like: Be sure to take a couple of lenses (duh!), and "too many photographers ... photograph an entire wedding at f8 1/125th of a second with only one lens" (not ones that are still in business). It's technically way out of date with references to film types and processing, and even recommends shooting infra-red black and white film at e.i. 1600 (which might work if you were shooting toaster elements instead of people ... I'd recommend about five stops more exposure than that). The book is loaded with cliche's that mean little.
Some of the examples photos are good, but very few are spectacular.
Generally speaking, my advice would be to find a more modern book, even if your target market is more mature.

O'Neal, Teammates Face Possible Suspensions
by Conrad Brunner
March 26, 2002
INDIANAPOLIS, March 26, 2002 - A bad loss got much worse for the Pacers when Jermaine O'Neal lost his temper in the closing minutes, prompting a brawl that could result in a two-game suspension for the Pacers' leading scorer and one-game suspensions for some of his teammates.
With Detroit leading by 22 points in the final two minutes of a game the Pistons would win 96-77, O'Neal threw a flying body-block into a driving Corliss Williamson, knocking the burly Pistons forward out of bounds. Williamson responded by flipping the ball at O'Neal and the two then squared off and exchanged angry words.
Pistons forward Ben Wallace stepped between the two to separate them, but O'Neal then lashed out at Wallace; whether it was a shove or a punch will be subject to the interpretation of league officials. What was more clear was the short punch O'Neal subsequently threw to the face of Detroit forward Michael Curry, who simply backed away.
O'Neal was not available for comment afterwards.
"For the players involved and for all of us, the emotions just spilled over," Thomas said. "I was surprised because that's something he (O'Neal) hasn't shown. We haven't seen that. I just think he was frustrated."
Pistons coach Rick Carlisle didn't mince words when asked his opinion of the altercation, calling O'Neal's initial flagrant foul "one of the worst cheap shots I've seen this year."
"I'm proud to be associated with these guys. We do not play dirty. We do not throw cheap shots and I did not see us throw any tonight," he said. "I can't speak for Jermaine O'Neal, or his motivation, but that was one of the worst cheap shots I've seen this season."
Williamson claimed the ball "slipped out of my hands," but other Pistons players expressed their anger with O'Neal.
"He (O'Neal) has got some issues," said Jerry Stackhouse. "The kid has some issues. ... What are you going to do? The guy (Williamson) was killing him. It's their fault. They should have double-teamed him. They should get mad at their coach. They talk about (Ron) Artest being a great defensive player. Well, he had 10 big ones in his face real quick. They do a lot talking for a .500 team."
Williamson scored 16 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter as the Pistons blew open the game after the Pacers had cut the lead to four early in the period. O'Neal, who has been in a shooting slump of late, was 5-of-14 from the floor.
He received a type-two flagrant foul and an ejection for the initial hit on Williamson. If the league concludes he threw a punch, O'Neal will automatically be suspended for at least two games. In addition, four players - Artest, Jonathan Bender, Primoz Brezec and Bruno Sundov - appeared to leave the bench area, which would bring an automatic one-game suspension.
The Pacers, 35-35 and in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, resume play in Orlando on Friday night, then return home to face Miami on Sunday.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Gallion, Brian Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-04212010-083030 Title Tuba Solo Discography: A Comprehensive Guide to Solo Literature Recordings Released on Compact Disc Degree Doctor of Musical Arts (D.M.A.) Department Music Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Skillen, Joseph Committee Chair Dietz, Brett Committee Member Little, Jeannie Committee Member Peck, Robert Committee Member Shaw, Brian Committee Member Blackwell, Meredith Dean's Representative Keywords
- tuba and keyboard
- tuba alone
- tuba and large ensemble
- tuba and chamber ensemble
- tuba and electronics
- tuba and pre-recorded accompaniment
Date of Defense 2010-03-24 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis monograph provides a comprehensive discography of solo tuba works publicly released on compact disc. It is intended to aid tuba students, teachers, professionals, amateurs, and other enthusiasts in their search for recordings of solo literature. The project encompasses recordings released between 1982 (the year compact discs were invented) and the present.
While previous attempts to catalogue tuba recordings have been made by other authors, those documents have certain limitations which this project corrects. Included in this discography are 317 total recordings, 145 of which were not included in any previous attempt. Of these 145, at least sixty-three were released prior to the most recent attempt published in 1996. In addition, this project includes detailed information concerning record labels, album numbers, release year, distributors, published reviews, accompanimental forces, and assisting musicians and/or ensembles.
Within the body of the monograph, each album is listed alphabetically by the artist's last name. If more than one recording was released by the same artist, the title of the album serves as a secondary data point. Within the back matter of this project, the appendices reorganize individual works by composer's last name and by title of the work. Further appendices include contact information for review organizations, record labels, and distributors.
In this work, "tuba" refers to the modern bass or contrabass tuba in the traditional keys of BBb, CC, Eb, or F. Categories of "tuba solo works" include the following: works for tuba alone, works for tuba and keyboard (piano, harpsichord, synthesizer, etc.), works for tuba and large ensemble (band, orchestra, etc.), works for tuba and chamber ensemble, and works for tuba with electronic or pre-recorded accompaniment. For limitations and exclusions, please reference the introduction.
I project that this discography will be published online at http://www.iteaonline.org. The format for online publication will be a searchable database. The database will be available to members of the International Tuba and Euphonium Association.
The result of this research is a comprehensive, sustainable document which contains all currently known tuba compact disc recordings. I hope that this work will serve as an important example for discographers of other instruments.

Some might find it hardly surprising that women report having fewer nights of passion as they grow older.
Yet lack of quantity is made up for by an increase in quality, it seems.
A study of hundreds of more senior women found they were happy with their sex life even though encounters were less frequent.
Californian researchers analysed data that 806 women gave about their sex lives. The average age was 67 but some were in their 80s and some in their 40s.
Half had been sexually active in the previous four weeks although the proportion fell off sharply with age.
Eighty-three percent of the youngest women were classed as sexually active, compared with 13 percent of the oldest, the American Journal of Medicine reports.
Sex drive was low among the oldest women to take part in the survey but satisfaction was high.
Further delicate questioning revealed that the oldest women were as likely to be satisfied with their orgasms as the youngest.
Overall, the odds of a woman being very satisfied with her sex life, whatever the frequency of encounters, went up with age.
About 47 percent of the oldest women described themselves as being very satisfied - whether or not they were having sex.
This is almost double the 25 percent figure for the youngest women.
The researchers said: "The percentage of sexually satisfied women actually increased with age, with approximately half of the women aged more than 80 reporting sexual satisfaction almost always or always."
However, the satisfaction rate applied whether the women were having sex or not.
Study author Dr Susan Trompeter said: "Sexual activity was not always necessary for sexual satisfaction.
"Those who were not sexually active may have achieved sexual satisfaction though touching, caressing or other intimacies developed over a long relationship.
"Emotional and physical closeness to the partner may be more important than experiencing orgasm." - Daily Mail

Nice entrance! They just start having sex. Play with her tits more next time.
Lolly Ink enters the bedroom differently this time. J Mac carries Lolly in and lays her down on the bed. They're ready to rock and roll, bump and grind. They have a hot make-out session first, then Lolly kneels on the floor to suck and tit-tuck J Mac's tool. J Mac positions Lolly on the bed again like a human fuck doll. He spreads her stockinged legs wide (the pretty blonde is very flexible) and licks out her pink hole. Soaked through her tiny panties, Lolly's pussy is prime to be impaled to the hilt. At one point during their missionary fuck, J Mac picks lightweight Lolly up again and screws her hard and fast while holding her up in his arms. It's a very horny position. Slim and stacked Lolly is the perfect girl to carry and bang! Their bodies slam together.

The stand-out, definitive book about phone-hacking, the biggest scandal of our age, told
by the man who broke the story
Award-winning journalist Nick Davies spent more than six years uncovering the truth about the crimes at the News of the World. Hack Attack is the definitive, inside story of the whole scandal.
This book tells for the first time how Davies and a network of rebel lawyers, MPs and celebrities worked tirelessly to expose the facts: how they challenged Rupert Murdoch, one of the most powerful men in the world; how News International attempted to protect itself with lies and threats and money; how the police and the press regulator failed to find the truth, and attacked those who were trying to expose it.
Drawing on dozens of exclusive interviews with private investigators, journalists, politicians, police officers and Murdoch executives, Hack Attack blows the lid off the world of Fleet Street, Scotland Yard and Downing Street. It discloses in detail the full extent of the bullying, cheating and law-breaking in the newsroom of the News of the World, under Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson amongst others, and reconstructs the history of failure and official secrecy inside police ranks. It goes inside the corridors of power, to reveal how Murdoch's executives and journalists pressured ministers and officials for favours for themselves and their proprietor, and uncovers the chaos inside Murdoch's empire as the scandal reached its climax and rival factions succumbed to in-fighting and panic. It is also a thrilling account of an investigative journalist's journey, showing us exactly how the quest unfolded, and is a shining example of the might of good journalism.
Hack Attack is the story of what happened when truth caught up with power. Ambitious, comprehensive, gripping, essential - there will be no other book like it.
About the Author
Nick Davies writes investigative stories for the Guardian, and has been named Journalist of the Year, Reporter of the Year and Feature Writer of the Year in British press awards. Between July 2009 and July 2011, he wrote more than a hundred stories about crime in Rupert Murdoch's News of the World. He has written five books: White Lies, which uncovered a racist miscarriage of justice in Texas; Murder on Ward Four, which examined the collapse of the NHS through the murder of children by Nurse Beverly Allitt; Dark Heart, a journey through the wasteland of British poverty; School Report, revealing chaos in government education policy; and Flat Earth News, exposing falsehood and propaganda in news media.
He has three children and lives in Sussex.
"This is the book we've been waiting for, the thrilling and important inside story of how a single reporter came through with the truth of the hacking scandals. He exposed shameful intrusions, the years of deceit, lies, and bullying. And he did more. He revealed a rottenness at the heart of British life in the relations of press, police, and Parliament, institutions that, taken as a whole, failed the big test. Hack Attack is an indictment of the worst of journalism, but is itself an exhilarating demonstration of how the best of journalism-hard-won, honest reporting-is the lifeblood of any democracy." Sir Harold Evans "First in the Guardian and now in this book, the reporting of Nick Davies has revealed the insidious abuse of power-and the public trust-by the Murdoch press from the top down. The British hacking scandal is the ultimate expression of Murdoch-culture run amok: corruption in the Fourth Estate as dangerous to democracy as the worst excesses of heads of state. " Carl Bernstein "This has all the elements - lying, corruption, blackmail - at the highest levels of government by the biggest newspaper in London. And the fact that it's true is the best part. Nick is a brave and stubborn reporter and we consider it an honor to put his book to film." George Clooney (who is set to direct the film of the book) "Nick Davies is Britain's greatest investigative journalist... This book is as exciting as a thriller but far more important... should be compulsory reading in journalism schools and must be read by anyone who wishes to understand how British politics actually works." -- Peter Oborne Telegraph "Gripping ...the best account we have of the phone-hacking scandal and the attendant police corruption and cover-ups...A masterly summary of the hacking affair, as well as the ingenuity and persistence that lead to great journalism." -- Henry Porter Observer "His set pieces...are breathtaking... Hack Attack captures a picture of bullying and nepotism that should be absent from a democratic society" -- Martin Hickman The Independent "What is revealed here, in painful, careful detail, is a journalism that held power in contempt...Nick Davies has done a colossal service to Britain's democracy...Hack Attack is the book of a very bold reporter about a passage of arms that he won, to our great benefit." -- John Lloyd Financial Times "Davies' account of how Murdoch and his dysfunctional lieutenants ensnared, enslaved, and frightened generations of politicians is blistering." -- Will Gore Independent on Sunday "THE book to drizzle your Piz Buin on." -- Hugh Grant Twitter "[Davies] tells a brilliant story [and] takes us through the years of sniffing and delving with energy, determination and resilience" -- Peter Preston Observer "A riveting page-turner... Let's remember that it took a journalist to do the job the authorities had evaded" -- Ruth Dudley Edwards Irish Independent "The most important book of the year" Tom Stoppard

Less than a month after the city council voted to approve the highly-debated and scrutinized Heights Overlay District No. 1 along Farm-to-Market 2410, council members Tuesday started working to refine ordinances for signage and screening.
In a presentation to the council, Fred Morris, director of planning and development, said the overlay is meant to set standards for current and future buildings, parking, signage, landscaping, screening, buffering and street appearance over the next 20 years.
The overlay has been the center of great debate for a decade,
Now that its's approved, Morris and his staff are going through the city's code book with a fine-tooth comb. He reviewed the ordinances currently on the city's books.
"The basic structure of what we have in place is 20 years old and has been updated incrementally," Morris said. "It's lost its focus of what we are trying to accomplish here. What we have now is ineffective and confusing. In some cases, various sections contradict and cancel each other out."
Business owners along Farm-to-Market 2410, like Kwik Kar Lube & Tune owner Robert Kitchenmaster, said the city is against businesses by trying to put in place stricter rules and guidelines, ultimately cutting into their potential future profits and limiting their advertising capabilities.
"We are not against businesses and signage; what we are against is visual clutter," Mayor Mike Aycock said. "We don't want to deter signage; we just want to ensure we have the right kind of signage without getting into competition with whose sign is bigger and taller."
Council members also brought up signs that remain from businesses that are long gone, such as Clem Mikeska's Bar-B-Q in the Indian Trail Plaza, now home to Black Meg's #43.
"It's a disservice to residents," Councilman Hal Schiffman said.
From a law enforcement perspective, vacant buildings can quickly become part of the "broken window theory" and turn into a potential haven for nefarious activities, Police Chief Mike Gentry said,
"I want all of our vacant buildings to appear occupied and to not become derelict," he said.
Councilman Pat Christ said the rules governing signage and screening won't be resolved quickly or easily, and the council will take its time to ensure items are worded and amended properly.

Sherlyn Chopra is preparing herself for a big Hollywood debut with Kamasutra 3D. Sherlyn had a very short stint in Bollywood which was mostly unsuccessful, she considers herself to be in a different league. While she did manage to get a Yash Raj film and was seen in a sexy avatar in Rani Mukherji – Shahid Kapoor starrer Dil Bole Hadippa and was also present in the previous season of Bigg Boss, but the actress didn't manage to impress in either. And now, in her recent album Bad Girl!, the pretty bomb has aped a whole lot of international artists from Lady Gaga to Rihanna. When asked about her about competition with desi gal turned Exotic babe Priyanka Chopra and you will be surprised by what Sherlyn has to say, "I am not competing with anybody from India. I am very, very inspired by Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus because they seem very fearless. They do not step back from taking risks and so I derive my inspiration from such personalities."

Joint stiffness
|Joint stiffness
|Classification and external resources
Joint stiffness may be either the symptom of pain on moving a joint, the symptom of loss of range of motion or the physical sign of reduced range of motion.
- Pain on movement is commonly caused by osteoarthritis, often in quite minor degrees, and other forms of arthritis. It may also be caused by injury or overuse and rarely by more complex causes of pain such as infection or neoplasm. The range of motion may be normal or limited by pain. "Morning stiffness" pain which eases up after the joint has been used, is characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis.[1]
- Loss of motion (symptom): the patient notices that the joint (or many joints) do not move as far as they used to or need to. Loss of motion is a feature of more advanced stages of arthritis including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
- Loss of range of motion (sign): the examining medical professional notes that the range of motion of the joint is less than normal. Routine examination by an orthopaedic surgeon or rheumatologist will often pay particular attention to this. The range of motion may be measured and compared to the other side and to normal ranges. This sign is associated with the same causes as the symptom. In extreme cases when the joint does not move at all it is said to be ankylosed.

Sports Illustrated recently came up with a list of the greatest athletes by jersey number, and it's no surprise that No. 13 was reserved for Dan Marino.
Marino wore it on his jerseys at Central Catholic, Pitt and the Miami Dolphins, making popular a number once associated with the superstitious as bad luck.
Which brings us to an interesting trivia question: Who was the last Pitt football player to wear No. 13 before Marino? You might be surprised to find that the answer is a colleague of mine at the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Chaz Palla, an award-winning sports photographer, played for the Panthers from 1978-81 (his father, Chuck, also played at Pitt, lettering in 1958).
Chaz Palla came to Pitt as a safety but ultimately became a placekicker after Panthers coaches saw his leg strength at a practice. Initially, he was issued No. 6 before going to his first training camp but switched to No. 13 upon his return.
"It's kind of funny because I just found the Tangerine Bowl program," said Palla, now 48 and a 15-year veteran a the Trib. "Me and Cowher are both in it, and I'm (listed on the roster as) wearing No. 13."
Cowher, of course, would be then-North Carolina State senior linebacker Bill Cowher, who would later lead the Steelers to a Super Bowl XL championship. (The jersey number story, by the way, is true. I checked the program).
Anyway, Palla was a year ahead of Marino, so he anticipated the number change when the Central star signed with the Panthers over Arizona State.
"Foge Fazio actually came up to me in the locker room at some point near the end of the season and said, 'You know, Marino wants 13,'" Palla said. "I figured as much, considering most people that wear that number would want to continue wearing it because most guys are superstitious."
Palla switched to No. 15, which he wore the next three seasons. He holds no grudge against Marino for taking his number. In fact, Palla said he used to snap to Marino during an "outside drill," now known as seven-on-seven, because the 6-foot-2 Palla was the same height as Pitt's centers.
When Palla graduated, he went from dressing for Pitt football games to shooting them for the sports information department and has plenty of Marino photos. Not everyone believes Palla, but he dispelled one group of doubters at a charity golf event at Oakmont Country Club when Marino recognized Palla and gave him a hug on the ninth green.
Now, Palla is reminded every time he shoots a Steelers or Panthers game at Heinz Field, where their No. 13 hangs from the rafters as one of Pitt's eight retired jerseys.
"I think it's a great story to tell people," Palla said. "Most people think it was a quarterback, Tom Yewcic, who was the last person to wear it. It's just a funny story to tell.
"What am I? I became a sports photographer who, in my own arena, is known, but anybody who knows football knows who Dan Marino is.
"In a neat way, I'm part of that retired legacy."

Municipalities need asphalt to repair damage inflicted by winter
An unrelenting winter that demanded near-constant salting and plowing has left local governments with a new challenge: how to patch and pave miles of roads with depleted budgets and a high need for asphalt.
Municipalities in the region will have to retool plans, moving local money into their road salt and repair budgets, which typically are funded by liquid fuels money from the state.
"You spend more on salt, and you have to come up with the buy for asphalt," said Mike Volpe, director of public works for Hempfield's 300 miles of roads.
Hempfield spent $500,000 of its $700,000 salt budget but will have to save the remaining $200,000 to buy salt for November and December, Volpe said.
"We've got plenty of roads to fix," he said. "The roads are worse than average. We've been seeing a lot of blowout patches because of the big thaw."
High demand
David Heilman, president of Hei-Way LLC, which supplies asphalt to municipalities in five states, said the demand is "off the charts." He said his crew is keeping up by working longer hours and weekends.
A high level of moisture in the ground before a series of freeze-thaw cycles in November and December "really weakened the infrastructure in Pennsylvania and the Northeast even before the really bad weather hit,"Heilman said.
Pittsburgh streets sustained so much damage that the city embarked on a third "pothole blitz" last week, instead of the usual one, said Guy Costa, chief operating officer.
"We spent a lot more — probably spent 25 percent more — this year on rock salt than we typically do, so we have less for potholes," Costa said. "We will transfer money from other line items for that."
He said the city purchases asphalt under a statewide contract negotiated by PennDOT but prices change monthly based on the cost of oil. Beginning Tuesday, the city will pay $43 per ton for binder, a base material used in resurfacing streets, and $54 per ton for wearing surface, a thinner, smoother top coat also used to fix potholes.
"The vendor we have has done a pretty good job of supplying us asphalt," Costa said.
But asphalt supplies ebb and flow nationally.
A shortage in 2008 led road projects from New York to Alaska to be delayed or completed at as high as triple the budgeted cost; it was largely blamed on rising oil prices and a shortage of a chemical used to mix asphalt.
Some areas of New Jersey already were running short in early March, when asphalt producers were exhausting daily supplies by midday.
So far, the state hasn't had trouble getting asphalt to repair its nearly 40,000 miles of road, said Rich Kirkpatrick, a PennDOT spokesman.
Spending more
PennDOT has used 125 percent more patching material to fix potholes this winter compared to last — 17.6 million tons compared to 7.8 million — and spent about $3.8 million more than last year, he said.
Kirkpatrick said that, despite additional costs this winter, PennDOT is in a good financial position to complete road and bridge projects with the new transportation funding law enacted last fall.
"On an average, it wasn't alarmingly worse this year," said Beth Mitchell, a procurement and inventory specialist for the Pennsylvania Turnpike. "We definitely have holes, but it's not 'oh, my gosh, we have them everywhere.' "
Mitchell said the commission had fully repaved about 100 miles of the toll road last year, and those portions stood up to the winter weather better than older sections.
In McKeesport, public works director Steve Kondrosky hopes that asphalt supplies don't run low; his city used triple the usual amount of cold-patch asphalt this winter, or nearly 70 tons, for repairs to its 105 miles of road. The city recently ran out, he said.
McKeesport's supplier, Hanson Aggregates in Adamsburg, was slated to open last week, about a week earlier than usual, he said. Hanson declined to comment.
"Once they (Hanson) start up, I hope we're good to go" for the summer, Kondrosky said.
Vince Tutino, president of New Galilee-based Lindy Paving, said he doesn't anticipate a shortage this year based on his stockpiles and arrangements with quarries.
"I think we'll be fine with what we think the market will need in our area," said Tutino, whose company supplies PennDOT, Pittsburgh and municipalities in Allegheny, Beaver and Lawrence counties.
"Over the last three years, the requirements (from clients) have diminished. I think supplies for aggregate and asphalt will be adequate," he said.
Latrobe Public Works Director Joseph Bush said he believes that city roads are "a little worse" this spring than last year because of the harsher winter and a reduced paving program during the past few years. "I think things are catching up on us," he said.
The city, which maintains 35 miles of streets, plus alleys, spent $4,500 on asphalt material for patching last year, which was less than the $6,000 budgeted.
Bush said he has budgeted $7,000 because of the increased cost of a "seasonal mix" of patching material that is suited to the colder temperatures — priced at $89.28 per ton from Heilman Pavement Specialties Inc. of Sarver, a sister company of Hei-Way LLC.

Bungie's David Dague and Eric Osborne have further commented on the potential disparity between the current-generation versions of "Destiny" when compared to the next-generation iterations.
As long as the next-gen versions have parity thats all I care about.
Better if they focus on the more powerful hardware and have their vision come true instead of going for parity. If weaker consoles can't handle it, then gimp those versions as there is obviously no other option.
If you're doing as much as you can for each console, then there will be nothing to explain, except "we did what we could for each platform." If they really did their job, it will always show. There is absolutely no reason for sacrificing quality. If another camp ends up butthurt, blame the hardware you chose.
Then Bungie should have designed Destiny for PC not for the paltry and inferior next generation console of PS4 and Xbox One!
Designing a mmo type fps for PC would be a disaster having all these horrible PCs in the mix lagging up the game and the multiplayer.
And what would the more powerful console be able to do that the other one couldn't?
Because so far we have seen nothing in each gen that separated the consoles besides a minor graphical difference. We haven't seen a new unique exclusive design, a better AI or anything. Both controllers have the exact same amount of buttons so what possibly could the more powerful system do.
Some folks keeps screaming, take advantage of the full power of the console. But what exactly does that entail? It seems all people mean by that is a graphic bump.
Agreed.. parity should take a back seat next to developers fully realizing their vision. If one of the consoles suffers from that, well then that's their problem for the hardware. However having said this, With Destiny being online orientated or online only (not 100% sure) it could very well prove interesting to see if the "power of the cloud" really does make a difference.
This "everyone is equal" mentality that people have these days is a plague on progress. Face it, one console is stronger than the other. It didn't stop the XBOX or GameCube from having better looking games than the PS2, but the games library was larger and developer support was so much greater on PS2 in the end. Graphical disparity didn't matter. Now that the PS4 is the easier to develop for console, Sony will have the developer support of their first / second party, AND the superior versions of third party games. That is not fanboy drivel, that is a fact.
@ XboxFun: Well, we can't see what the other could do better if they're going for parity. That's the point.
So @ Xboxfun... You are all for parity also then I presume?
What if there was some cool ground breaking feature using Kinect that Bungie left out for "parity"? How would that make you feel?
You'd probably feel the same as PS4 players if Bungie chose to go with parity instead of taking advantage of PS4 hardware (ex. resolution & graphical bump)
i'm sorry, but this "have their vision come true" crap is nonsense. are the PS4 and XB1 different in power? sure. are they vastly different enough to where one console can help a developer reach their vision and the other one can't?
what, is the developer's vision to have slightly better shadows in one version? or slightly better better AA, or maybe going from 900p to 1080p? ok, we all love a bump up in graphics, but acting like a developer can't achieve their "vision" on one console but they can on the other is just retarded. they're not that different. if developers want to take advantage of the PS4's juice to bump up the graphics a bit, go for it. but it's not changing the game as a whole.
if one console could have an entirely different physics engine that vastly changed the way you played the game, that's a major difference. or maybe one game could have a fully open world and the other had to have it divided into sections that loaded new zones. huge difference. or AI that was 100x more realistic and adaptive than the other version. that would change the experience. but slight graphics changes? please.
"Designing a mmo type fps for PC would be a disaster having all these horrible PCs in the mix lagging up the game and the multiplayer. "
- Do you even play PC games?...
What you mention is already being done - Planetside and Firefall are 2 big examples.
As for the discussion on parity, players talk about wanting to utilize the power of each console to the fullest and do without parity, which more often than not, is just an argument for "make my version prettier..."
Neither console on it's own, is more or less powerful to the point where drastic changes are going to happen, like a whole new region to explore on one version vs the other, or more weapons and customization, etc. However, each systems respective cloud technologies could offer tools/features for devs, to achieve more ambitious goals.
So they should focus on more powerful Hardware? Your saying they should make this game primary for PC then which will screw PS4 and XB1 over and get an inferior port instead.
@Enemy Enough with the "Butthurt" gay slurs, if you're looking for a shag, just ask.
Power isn't everything. Take American muscle cars. Very powerful but can't handle for sh!t.
Now take X1 and PS4.
PS4 has an edge with memory and a slightly better GPU. The difference in graphics isn't that much between the two if any at times.
However where MS shines is the potential of kinect (yes I don't care about spy from both MS or sony, I don't care if MS see with with me nob out) The idea of using kinect to judge my boredom or fear etc and have the game respond is just awesome.
Immersion beat knocking one out over graphics for me.
So to answer your comment. There is nothing to Gimp.
Give PS4 & X1 1080p / 60fps but give X1 immersive gameplay with kinect, since it can doo it all.
Then lets see which version is gimped!
@ Gekko36
But as far as we know, theres very little that the kinect can do, that the PS4eye cannot. If your talking voice stuff, PS4 can do it cause its all software. If your talking tracking, PS4 can do it as they can even track your eyes as proven last night. So even though every PS4 wont have a camera, they can still put it in for the PS4 users that do, especially if they are already doing it for kinect. Keep trying.
The two cameras are not at all comparable, one has a dedicated CPU, has four different methods of tracking, performs as an IR blaster, has multi - array microphones. The PS4 camera is programmable through software, the same as Kinect 1.0.
"And what would the more powerful console be able to do that the other one couldn't?"
You have it backwards. What could the console that costs 25% more do in this game that the cheaper and more powerful console doesn't? The One fanboys keep asking why people choose a PS4 over the One. The real question is why anyone wouldn't.
A better resolution makes a whole load of difference.
Which is why consoles should die, bringing down the cost of PC parts, less hardware releases themselves and really allowing developers to take full use of PC tech and not having to worry about being tied to one specific piece of tech for the better part of a decade, right?
I mean, more powerful hardware.
You clearly have no idea how much more power a higher resolution takes. Go experiment with the resolution option on a PC game, from 720p to 900p to 1080p to etc for about 5 minutes and you'll see.
wait so whats being done one the new consoles that cant be done on older consoles
Why would you purposely buy a weaker console and then hope for parity throughout the whole next generation? Just buy the more powerful console or be happy with whatever you get.
Because I am buying the console that has the exclusives, and features I like better. Mind you, I am getting both by the time Destiny is out regardless. The reason I want parity is so people like yourself can stop feeling like they are the superior race in gaming. Is it too much to ask that both games be great? Why do people want the Xbox games to be worse than PS4, because you don't plan on owning one?
I am sorry if you feel insecure, private message me and perhaps we can talk about your feelings.
rela that is the worst reason i've ever heard.
@ rela82: That's like saying you'd prefer they keep next gen versions from looking too superior to last gen versions just because you're still gaming on last gen hardware. The world's bigger than you, and we moved on to next gen for a reason.
There's always going to be a problem with meeting deadlines as well. None of these developers are nearly big enough to focus on every platform at once. If, for example, consoles were their main focus, then the game will be more optimized for console than for PC, and vice versa. It's that simple.
I'm picking up an Xbox One also. I don't care if there is parity or not. Let the more powerful system have more power. Let the Xbox One utilize it's strengths (Kinect or whatever)
Last but not least, don't let anyone else make you feel inferior. If you want X1 enjoy it for what it is...
@Sarcasm, exactly!
^Oh my god they have stooped to a new low.
Nobody's saying for the Xbone version to be crappy, in fact I hope they make it as good as possible. With that said, I hope they make the PS4 version as good as possible. And if they ever make a PC version, I hope they give it everything they got.
Damn with the parity crap.
Which is what I was saying, I want them both to have parity, meaning that they were able to accomplish everything they wanted with BOTH consoles... I just get disagreed because I didn't want the PS4 to be superior. I want them both to be able to achieve perfection. Just because one thing is more powerful doesn't mean that in the beginning of the generation that we can't have parity. We have a long ways to go before we max both of these bad boys up, there is no reason they shouldn't be able to get parity out of the next gen right now.
Edit: I can tell how many sony fanboys there are by the amount of disagrees. Who in the world would be opposed to two versions being just as successful. The xbox may have struggled in the beginning with a few of the multi-plat titles; however, we all know it was rushed to the market. After a length of time, I imagine that the multiplats will be closer in parity.
Just stop you make zero sense. I mean if you have a valid point in there somewhere maybe its for your eyes only cuz no one understands how you can say both reach perfection to their strengths yet want parity.
i mean you can;t honestly believe anyone understands you do you?
Edit: I can tell how many sony fanboys there are by the amount of disagrees. Who in the world would be opposed to two versions being just as successful.

Being just as successful and parity are two different things. They can both be successful doesn't mean parity is the only way to reach it. You're asking for one version if possible to not show its strengths so that its a level playing field?
Don't need parity. Make each one to the best they can with the hardware. That's all is being said,nobody agrees with you trying to make them equal. Has nothing to do with "Sony" fanboys as you say. That just goes to show where your head is at.
How the hell did rela's last comment get a bubble so fast when it still makes no sense? WTF
^As consumers we should demand them to make the best out of the hardware. That means there shouldn't be parity.
Parity usually means they lowered the quality to match the lowest denominator, and sorry to put the truth in your face it happens to be the Xbox One in this case.
With that said, "Play the games, not the resolution" which means it doesn't matter if your version isn't going to look as good as the PS4 version, it will still play well and you will enjoy it. Isn't that the argument Xbox Fanboys have been making since the whole Resolutiongate?
Trying to argue for them to bring the PS4 version's quality down to match the Xbox One version is pretty sad.
Last generation they opted for parity because well, both consoles were pretty close. Each had their strengths and weaknesses and at most were 10% give or take to each other. Heck, most of the 360 multiplatform titles were better and had higher resolutions.
This time it's different because the gap on the PS4 and X1 is much more moderate.
Im going to give you the benefit @blacktar. You obviously aren't grasping what I am trying to say. I like to think of myself as somewhat intelligent and I do not believe I am talking in circles here.
"Being just as successful and parity are two different things. They can both be successful doesn't mean parity is the only way to reach it. You're asking for one version if possible to not show its strengths so that its a level playing field? "
The WHOLE point of my comment was that they BOTH can give it all they got and they come out even. Why would I want to have my game say on the Xbox One and know there is a better version out there. I wish that they both are able to get everything they can out of both versions (Talking next-gen only here) and they come out looking the same. This is going to be a great game, one where most of my friends will be on Xbox One so that is the console I will likely purchase Destiny on, and I want them both to be the same. Not that I want the PS4 to have to skimp out because of the Xbox One. This is a cross generation game if anything is going to hold it down its the ps3 and Xbox 360.
I believe everyone is misunderstanding me because they believe I want them to downgrade the PS4 version to meet the Xbox One version. That is NOT the case. There is NO reason why the Xbox One version cannot meet the PS4 version, just because some launch multiplats couldn't achieve parity doesn't mean its a forecast for the entire generation. If it comes down to it though that they cannot meet the parity because of the Xbox One's specs than that is fine, upgrade the ps4 version and make the best game possible.
The reason you got disagreed with is because PS4's GPU is 40% more powerful than the XBOX One.
Parity is the act of making the same.
Almost all AAA budget games should show graphical and/or performance benefits in favor of the PS4.
No one really wants games to be dumbed down.
The same can be said for people who buy a console vs a PC... if you chose to buy a console, be happy with what you get, even if this means games running at less than 1080p/60fps, or games having less c0ntent or features.

All new The Inside tonight in the UK. ITV4 catches up with Fox Broadcasting Corp. Read for a 'previously on' summary of Tim Minear's show up until this point.
Previously on Lé Inside;
- Rebecca is also known as Becky, and was abducted as a child!
- Webb set up an alledged killer!
- Paul quits the FBI!
- Paul's wife has a miscarriage, partially due to Paul's actions!
- Paul returns to the FBI!

- Gossi abused exclaimation marks!
Highlights to come over the remaining month of episodes:
Jane Espensen, David Fury, Amber Benson (all say at once: huzzah!), and Tim Minear's work.
March 10 2006
I watched this when it first aired last year and have been watching it again on ITV4 and "Declawed" last week was among one of the best episodes of television I've seen in the past year and I can't wait for the rest. Now all I want is a boxset and the announcement that Katie Finnernan's been cast in Drive.
Oh cool! Hope some of those nice UK fans work their Torrent Magic (TM) so this can soon magically appear on my screen too. :-)
I missed the start of the show so I didn't want to just jump in. Any DVD news? Or is ITV going to rerun the eps fairly soon afterwards?
Yes DVD Please! I've only seen the first episodes then it was cancelled and now I sit and wait for dvds! I should mention I don't pay for cable TV therefore I only get what I can pick up on the "rabbit ears".
I'm so enjoying The Inside. Especially Special Agent Web. I love my dark characters. Someone should write a crossover fanfic with him and Angel Investigations.
Totally. I recall the hotel they visit in the first episode, where the screaming woman is being held, was originally called the "Hyperion" hotel in the first draft (and a character says "Neat name"). :)
Bah. Don't have Sky here at Uni and mother has inconveniently chosen tonight of all nights to go out. Apparently trying to tape from the Freeview box using the timer is far too complicated a thing to explain on the phone.

No Antibodies, No Problem: Researchers Identify How Mosquito Immune System Attacks Specific Infections,
Johns Hopkins University
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have determined a new mechanism by which the mosquitoes' immune system can respond with specificity to infections with various pathogens, including the parasite that causes malaria in humans, using one single gene. Unlike humans and other animals, insects do not make antibodies to target specific infections. According to the Johns Hopkins researchers, mosquitoes use a mechanism known as alternative splicing to arrange different combinations of binding domains, encoded by the same AgDscam gene, into protein repertoires that are specific for different invading pathogens. The researchers' findings were published October 18 in the journal Cell Host & Microbe and could lead to new ways to prevent the spread of a variety of mosquito born illnesses.

"Based on recent PNG LNG Project progress and assuming a relatively trouble-free commissioning and ramp-up process, we presently anticipate that Oil Search's 2014 production will be at the upper end of our previously advised guidance range of 13 – 16 million barrels of oil equivalent," Oil Search managing director Peter Botten said in a quarterly report on Tuesday.
"Further guidance will be provided once we have received a formal PNG LNG project production update from the operator."
Oil Search, which some sources say is in the sights of Woodside Petroleum as a potential takeover target, posted revenues of $US170.2 million for the March quarter on production of 1.68 million barrels of oil equivalent.
Output was down 5 per cent on the 1.77 million boe produced in the December quarter, but up from 1.56 million boe in the year-earlier quarter.
The company said the result was "pleasing" given the impact of a planned shutdown of its oil production plants during the quarter.
The ExxonMobil-operated PNG LNG venture is "progressing a few months ahead of schedule" with first cargo expected in mid-2014, Oil Search said, confirming previous guidance given by the US operator of the $US19 billion project.

Hair Robbery Is The New Trend In Venezuela
Venezuelans now need to worry about their hair.
Women in the city of Maracaibo in Venezuela should be careful when wearing their hair down. According to local news sources, a group known as "piranhas" are now stealing women's hair — and they prefer it straight.
The robbers will hold women at gunpoint in malls and tell them to tie their hair into a ponytail so that they can then cut it off and sell it to beauty salons as hair extensions, according to Venezuelan digital newspaper Informe 21. Read more at Huffington Post…

HOUSTON - Last year went into the books as the warmest year on record in Houston, so it seems strange to many people that 2013 is beginning on such a cold note.
For those of you who are enjoying the change, you'll be glad to hear that it's going to continue into the weekend!
With Wednesday's temperatures hovering in the 40s all day long -- and wind chill temperatures in the 30s -- many people are left scratching their heads. In ALL of 2012 there were only two days in Houston with a high temperature below 50 degrees, so this kind of weather is definitely out of the ordinary for us.
Considering that our average high temperature this time of year is 63 degrees, highs in the 40s shouldn't be unusual. But, because we've gotten so used to exceptional warmth, a cold stretch with temperatures 15 to 20 degrees below normal seems absurd. In contrast, we don't bat an eyelash when the pendulum swings the other way and we reach a high of 80 degrees. That has happened nine times in the last month alone!
While we won't stay in the 40s every afternoon for the rest of the week, we WILL have cooler than normal temperatures through Saturday. Highs should top out in the 50s with mainly cloudy skies and a few sprinkles or light rain showers continuing now and then through Saturday morning. Eventually, high pressure will take over, bringing us more sunshine and temperatures back in the 60s.
So, if you're a big fan of chilly winter weather, enjoy! If you'd much rather have the warmth back, you'll have to wait just a little while longer.

Junior explorer Faroe Petroleum announced Friday that it was relinquishing its West of Shetland P1161 license. The company – which focuses on oil and gas prospects in the Atlantic Margin, North Sea and Norway – said that results of work on the Fulla prospect within the license area confirmed oil of relatively poor quality and a smaller-than-expected resource size.
After having drilled exploration well 206/5a-3 in the Fulla prospect, targeting the Clair and Whiting reservoir sands, extensive modeling was undertaken to establish the resource potential and assess a means of economically developing the Fulla discovery in conjunction with the 1980 Freya discovery. But Faroe said that no economically viable solution has been found to bring these discoveries to development and so it will relinquish the license.
Faroe Chief Executive Graham Stewart commented in a company statement:
"Faroe Petroleum adheres to a strict policy of protecting shareholder interests such that substantial development investments are only made where there is good potential for an attractive return, and unfortunately the P1161 licence does not satisfy our economic criteria.
"The high potential West of Shetlands area continues to be a core element of Faroe Petroleum's strategy. The company has considerable knowledge and experience in this important region, holding a large portfolio position there, including the Glenlivet and Tornado gas discoveries, which are progressing towards development."

Vat's Life!
At the beginning of 2009, the standard rate of VAT was temporarily reduced from 17.5% to 15%, and we therefore reduced the Recommended Retail Prices (RRP's) of all Suma Brand products which attract this level of VAT.
The situation from the 1st January 2010 is that the standard rate of VAT reverts to 17.5%, and all invoices from that date will show the increased RRP's of our Suma Brand products accordingly. These changes are reflected in our January & February catalogue. We will change the RRP's for other brands as and when we are advised of any changes by our suppliers.

An article on Page 25 of the News section of the Dec. 16 edition of the Register cited county Supervisor John Moorlach's estimate of $6 billion of unfunded liability for Orange County Employees Retirement System after it reduced its assumed investment return. Moorlach estimated the unfunded liability based on what he said was prior information released by OCERS. However, the pension fund's actuary recently calculated that the unfunded liability would have been $5.36 billion as of Dec. 31, 2011, had the lower investment assumption been in place then.

Vertical Banded Gastroplasty—Laparoscopic Surgery
Vertical banded gastroplasty, also called stomach stapling, is surgery that divides the stomach into 2 parts to treat obesity . It causes weight loss by decreasing the amount of food you can eat.
|The Stomach
|This surgery involves re-shaping the stomach to reduce the amount of food it can hold.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
The surgery treats severe obesity. A calculation called body mass index ( BMI ) is used to determine how overweight or obese you are. A normal BMI is 18.5-25.
This surgery is a weight loss option for people with:
- BMI greater than 40
- BMI 35-39.9 and a life-threatening condition or severe physical limitations that affect employment, movement, and family life
The success of vertical banded gastroplasty depends on your commitment. If lifestyle changes are made and maintained, the benefits of bariatric surgery include:
- Weight reduction
- Improvement in many obesity-related conditions
- Improved movement and stamina
- Enhanced mood, self-esteem, and quality of life
Possible Complications
If you are planning to have gastroplasty, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Blood clots
- Vomiting
- Breakdown of the staples, allowing stomach juices to leak into the abdomen
- Slipping or wearing away of the band
- Enlargement of the pouch
- Irritation of the throat due to acid reflux
- Hernia formation
- Complications of general anesthesia
- Death
Long-term complications include vomiting and gallstones.
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications, such as:
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Before the procedure, you may have the following:
- Thorough physical exam and review of medical history
- Ongoing consultations with a registered dietitian
- Mental health evaluation and counseling
Leading up to your procedure:
- Talk to your doctor about your medications, herbs, and dietary supplements. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
- Do not start any new medications, herbs, or supplements without talking to your doctor.
- Arrange for a ride to and from the hospital.
- Arrange for help at home as you recover.
- You may be given antibiotics.
- You may be given laxatives and/or an enema to clear your intestines.
- The night before, eat a light meal. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight unless told otherwise by your doctor.
- Shower or bathe the morning of your surgery.
General anesthesia will be used. You will be asleep for the surgery.
Description of the Procedure
The laparoscopic method begins with several small cuts made in the abdomen. Gas will be pumped in to inflate your abdomen. This will make it easier for the doctor to see. A laparoscope and surgical tools will be inserted through the incisions. A laparoscope is a thin, lighted tool with a tiny camera. It sends images of your abdominal cavity to a monitor in the operating room. Your doctor will operate while viewing the area on this monitor.
Surgical staples will be used to divide your stomach into two unequal portions. The upper portion will be a small pouch. It will empty through a tiny opening into the lower portion. The small pouch can hold only ½ to 1 cup of soft, moist, and well-chewed food. A normal stomach can hold 4-6 cups.
Next, a plastic band will be wrapped around the tiny opening. This will prevent it from stretching. This band can be adjusted after surgery. The incisions will then be closed with staples or stitches.

|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Immediately After Procedure
The breathing tube will be removed. You will be taken to the recovery area.
How Long Will It Take?
About 2 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
You will be in the hospital for 2-5 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer, however, if complications arise.
Postoperative Care
At the Hospital
While you are recovering at the hospital, you may receive the following care:
- Pain medication will be given as needed.
Your diet:
- Day of surgery—You will not eat or drink anything.
Day after surgery—You will likely have an
to check for leaks from the stomach pouch. You will drink a special liquid while x-rays are taken.
- If this x-ray is normal, you will be given 30 milliliters (mL) of liquids every 20 minutes.
- If leaks are found, you will receive nutrition through an IV until the leaks are fixed.
- On the second day after surgery—You will have 1-2 tablespoons of pureed food or 1-2 ounces of liquids every 20 minutes.
You may be asked to do the following:
- Use an incentive spirometer to take deep breaths every hour to prevent breathing problems.
- Wear elastic surgical stockings or boots to promote blood flow in your legs.
- Get up and walk daily.
Preventing Infection
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incision
At Home
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions. You will need to practice lifelong healthy eating and exercising habits. After your surgery:
- Do not lift anything heavy for at least two weeks.
- You may have emotional changes after this surgery. Your doctor may refer you to a therapist.
- You will meet regularly with your healthcare team for monitoring and support.
Your new stomach is the size of a small egg. It is slow to empty. This will make you feel full quickly. Nutritional steps include:
- You need to eat very small amounts and eat very slowly.
- You will begin with 4-6 small meals per day. A meal is two ounces of food.
- For the first 4-6 weeks after surgery, all food must be pureed.
- When you move to solid foods, food must be well-chewed.
- When making food choices, ensure that you are getting enough protein.
- Eating too much or too quickly can cause vomiting or intense pain under your breastbone. Most people quickly learn how much food they can eat.
- This procedure does not cause nausea and diarrhea if sweet or fatty foods are eaten. In fact, some people gain back weight because they continue to consume high-calorie foods. To promote ongoing weight loss, avoid high-calorie foods.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications such as:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- Persistent cough , shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Worsening abdominal pain
- Blood in the stool
- Pain, burning, urgency or frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- Persistent nausea and/or vomiting
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs; sudden shortness of breath or chest pain
- New or worsening symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Imaging Center for Undergraduate Collaboration
Digital Imaging: Infusing Active Learning Throughout a Science Curriculum
A division-wide curriculum review just completed in the sciences at Wheaton College produced a shared goal of actively engaging all major and non-major students in the process of scientific inquiry. The use of digital imaging and image analysis spans all science disciplines at Wheaton, yet we lack a centralized computer or imaging facility for classes of students to participate together in this approach to discovery. This proposal would establish a digital imaging and data analysis center of networked computers and image acquisition equipment for use at all levels across the science curriculum. The facility is modeled on a successful one in Franklin and Marshall College's Biology Department (DUE #9750430), with whom we consulted, but is adapted for Wheaton's interconnected science departments. The proposal aims to (1) actively engage students in the process of scientific inquiry through digital imaging, (2) promote collaborative research between students through instant data exchange and projection, and (3) demonstrate the inter-relatedness of scientific disciplines by linking courses that share imaging as an experimental approach. To achieve these aims, during the funding period, faculty representing all science departments will transform courses resulting in more than 60% of the college student body utilizing the facility each year. Some of these courses will include cross-disciplinary joint laboratory exercises. We believe this project will positively impact student performance in science, student perceptions of science, and recruitment of students into science majors; and these outcomes will be assessed. Results of the project will be disseminated through workshops, poster presentations, publications, and Web sites.

A NEW support group is launching in Bromsgrove to offer help and advice to anyone who suffers from problems linked to overeating.
The group is launching on Tuesday, January 28 from 6.30pm at Bromsgrove Methodist Church, and aims to help people with eating disorders and issues with food.
The group is being organised through Beat, the UK's leading eating disorder charity, and will run on the last Tuesday of every month at the centre.
An attendee from one of the charity's other groups, said: "The Beat emotional overeating support group I attend offers a safe and supportive environment in which to meet other people facing similar challenges to myself. For all of us, it is the beginning of a journey as we seek to understand the reasons that lead us to eat to feed an emotion rather than a genuine hunger. For me, this kind of change can only come as part of a group.
"The contributions of the other members are invaluable to me as we share ideas for positively changing habituated behaviours. Although I don't yet know how I will beat this, I suspect the process of overcoming this will be a long process; one where other people are able to 'see' my situation clearer than I can myself and involve incentivising change in small achievable steps, rather than through big sweeping changes or 'will power'."
The group aims to provide an open non-judgmental environment for peer support for anyone who binge eats, compulsively overeats, feels they have emotional eating issues, or is struggling with their weight.
It allows people to share their problems, thoughts and successes, and meet other people in similar situations in a stigma-free environment.
For more information on the group, write to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01603 753307.

He yelled "I did it!" before that tree cut the flight short.
Nearby at the Port Chester Yacht Club, Joe Knowlton of Katonah was painting the propeller beneath his 35-foot Catalina sailboat, with a material that keeps barnacles away.
He was looking forward to launching the boat in a couple weeks and being on the open water. "It does take you away from all the things that are annoying, like work," he said.
