When Is It Safe to Drive After Breaking a Bone?
December 3, 2013
Laminectomy is surgery to remove the lamina, part of the bone that makes up a vertebra, or bone spurs in your back. The procedure can take pressure off your spinal nerves or spinal canal.
Lumbar decompression; Decompressive laminectomy; Spine surgery - laminectomy
Laminectomy opens up your spinal canal so your spinal nerves have more room. It may be done along with a diskectomy, foraminotomy, and spinal fusion. You will be asleep and feel no pain (general anesthesia).
Risks for any surgery are:
Risks for spine surgery are:
If you have spinal fusion, your spinal column above and below the fusion is more likely to give you problems in the future.

OSU Football 2011 a Success
Posted on 5 Dec 2010 by Chris Mirkin.
As I sat in the OSU stands with a close friend of mine watching this year's bedlam game, I thought to myself, "what a hell of a year". Even though that particular beldam game did not turn out the way I would have hoped for in my wildest dreams, I still felt a subtle happiness. This year for Oklahoma State football fans was nothing but a success. I know there are many fans that would...

The Santa Clause
Not yet rated
Time Out says
A vehicle for Tim Allen, star of TV's Home Improvements, this turns out to be an unexpected treat. Divorced businessman Scott Calvin rediscovers the love of son Charlie when he dons Santa's red mantle after an unfortunate accident on his roof. The sleigh, the elves, and the magic all seem to indicate a dream, but when, ten months later, Scott can't stop himself putting on the pounds and growing a fluffy white beard, he realises that perhaps he should have read the small print before signing the Santa clause. Perennial bug-bears like the absence of chimneys and the size of Santa's sack are readily explained by contemporary morphing effects, while the sarcastic Allen makes an admirably grumpy Father Christmas. The movie steers a shrewd course between bracing cynicism and old-fashioned make-believe.Author: TCh

Bio: I am a PhD student in
Computer Science, interested in data intensive computation in the datacenter
and cloud computing. I'd like to get general ideas of optimizing parallel
applications that could be applied to data intensive computation in large
distributed systems.
The application in question:
MapReduce in hybrid datacenter
MapReduce [1] is a software
framework that supports data-intensive computation on large clusters. It is
best suited for problems that are embarrassingly parallel and, unlike Grid computing,
is centered on data-intensive tasks where it tries to co-locate the computation
with the data instead of fetching the data to the computation site. In
particular, this description is based on Hadoop [2], the open-source and most
widely used MapReduce implementation.
At its core, a MapReduce program
is centered around two functions: a map function and a reduce function. The framework converts the input
data into key and value pairs ([K1, V1]) which the map function then
translates into new output pairs ([K2, V2]). The framework then groups all
values for a particular key together ([K2, <
V21, V22, … >]), and uses the reduce function to translate
this group to a new output pair ([K3, V3]). Example values for these key-value
pairs with a MapReduce Word Count program and the text "coast to coast"
can be found in Table 1. In reality, a MapReduce program can be composed of
multiple map and reduce phases with the reduce output from one phase serving as
the map input for the next.
Table 1. MapReduce Word Count Example
In terms of the actual MapReduce
architecture, there are four separate components. The client submits the MapReduce
job written by the programmer. There is a global Job-Tracker that schedules the
submitted job across the MapReduce cluster and handles node failures. A
per-node Task-Tracker tracks and runs each job sub-component (known as a task).
Finally, there is a distributed file system that is used to store the input and
final output data. HDFS is one of the more commonly used file systems with
Hadoop but other alternatives, including cloud storage-based systems, also
task assignment
As a MapReduce program is
supposed to process large data, it is critical to reduce data transfer time to
improve overall performance. To this end, the jobtracker tries to assign map
tasks to nodes where the data to process sit. Further, if it is not possible,
the jobtracker also tries to pick a node in the same rack where the data is in.
As all map tasks should be finished
before starting reduce tasks and all reduce tasks should be done to complete
the whole job, the tasks running behind (or laggards) will pose significant
impact in terms of overall job completion time. To reduce the negative impact
of laggards, the job-tracker monitors the progress of each task, and speculatively
launches redundant tasks if there are some lagging tasks.
As a datacenter grows over time,
and it is likely that equipments in the datacenter will consist of multiple
generation of hardware. In this case, it is important to intelligently place
workloads to appropriate nodes, as it will make huge difference in terms of performance. Furthermore, we could aggressively build a
datacenter with servers with different micro-architecture and different storage
to exploit advantages of heterogeneous configuration [3].
Currently, the Hadoop implementation
of MapReduce focuses on the cluster consists of homogeneous nodes. There are some
previous works to improve MapReduce scheduling policy to take heterogeneity into
account [4], but still Hadoop treat all nodes equally in general.
Data-local task assignment might
be effective in many cases, but not always, especially in a hybrid datacenter
that consists of different hardware. For example, if a map task is computation
intensive, it will make more sense to assign the task to remote but faster
node. Similarly, speculative execution plays an important role to reduce
overall completion time. However, the more important thing is to place tasks properly
at first place to avoid laggards. If the cluster consists of different hardware,
this heterogeneity should be considered to make a proper placement decision.

This was difficult for me to read but I hope I answered the questions in the way I intended. - Regarding Forward to a Friend. This should not be included in the CAN SPAM requirements. There is no way for the original sender to control who else gets the email when it is forwarded by another sender. - Regarding the filing of complaints by alleged recipients of SPAM, they should be required in their claim to produce a copy of the email in it's entirety. Someone filed a small claims lawsuit against my company and the claim did not disclose their email address or a copy of their email. One of these would be required for us to establish the business case for why the individual received email. Now my business has to either pay him $1000 or hire an attorney which probably will cost about the same. Thank you for your time.

Emma Watson, Emma Roberts, and the Harry Potter Cast Celebrate a Bittersweet End With an Afterparty
Emma Watson changed out of her frothy Oscar de la Renta gown into a shorter, flirtier Elie Saab number and Chopard earrings for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 premiere afterparty at Old Billingsgate Market tonight in London. She was joined by her costars Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, and engaged pair Bonnie Wright and Jamie Campbell Bower for the soiree, where actress Emma Roberts also made a special appearance. It was a bittersweet evening for the Harry Potter cast and crew, as they celebrated the last film in the franchise. Emma, Rupert, and Daniel Radcliffe all shared some sentimental words about their experience growing up on the set of the popular movies at the debut tonight, but author J.K. Rowling and Daniel promised fans that it's not really the end, since the series will live on in their hearts.
Jennifer Aniston Is Joined by Justin Theroux at Her Hollywood Handprint Ceremony!

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and J.K. Rowling Bid Farewell to Harry Potter With Their London Fans
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and the extended cast of Harry Potter came together in London's Trafalgar Square today to premiere the final installment of the saga, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Emma arrived in a beautiful floor-length Oscar de la Renta gown and raced over to greet fans and sign autographs before taking her place on the red carpet. Her best friends in the film, Rupert and Daniel, followed closely behind, also thanking fans and posing for pictures. The principle cast took the stage with J.K. Rowling and spoke to the audience of millions watching across the globe. Daniel first thanked fans and the cast and went on to say, "This isn't the end as fans will carry this story with them through the rest of their lives."
Emma then took to the podium and professed her love for her costars and especially Rupert and Daniel, saying, "Dan didn't get lucky, you were and are the perfect Harry and will be forever" and thanked "Rupert for making me laugh, I'll miss you so much," then broke down into tears before thanking J.K. for playing such a "great role model" in her life. Rupert was the final of the trio to take the mic, saying a simple "I love you" to the fans and crew and thanking J.K for everything she's done "for ginger people." It was a day full of mixed emotions for all of those involved with the franchise, and J.K. even joked, "I should write another one!" before wrapping up the event with her final words, saying, "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home."
Newlywed Kate Moss Busts Out Her Bikini For a French Honeymoon With Jamie Hince
Kate Moss honeymooned in a bikini in the French Riviera yesterday, wearing a black bandeau suit with her new husband, Jamie Hince, close by her side. Kate and Jamie tied the knot last Friday in a ceremony in their native England. Kate wore a custom Galliano wedding gown for the exchange of vows, then changed into a dress by Stella McCartney for the reception. Kate also had friend and photographer Terry Richardson on hand to capture pictures of her big day. After the festivities, she and Jamie took off for Monaco, where they boarded Topshop CEO Philip Green's yacht Lionchase. The couple have enjoyed a romantic tour of the Mediterranean on the 206-foot ship, which has already taken them to locations from Portofino to Cannes. The newlyweds are reportedly spending their time sipping champagne and indulging their musical side on the ship, with Jamie playing guitar and Kate singing along in the evenings.

They learn about the history of California by focusing on what happened right where they stand, from how the land looked before people arrived, through its first human residents, its days as part of Rancho San Pablo, the opening of the Chung Mei home, of shipyard workers and removal to internment camps during World War II, the evolution of transportation, and growth of local industries such as farming, nurseries, dairies, and rock quarries.
The visitors try their hand at math and science activities designed by local teachers and community members, drawing on the population of a community rich in scientists, science educators, history buffs, and its proximity to UC Berkeley and science and history museums.
Activities extend outside the building, with outdoor exhibits and activities, and a group heading off on a walking tour of local sites of historical significance.
After school hours, teams of teachers meet for a professional development workshop, to collaborate on an upcoming exhibit, or plan a workshop they will lead for other educators. Perhaps they are joined by local residents with expertise in science, math, or history. In another room, middle and high school students are training for their role as weekend and afternoon docents, and in another adults from the community for serving as docents during the school-day field trips.
The center has become a hub of learning with a place for everyone, from preschool visitors to retired residents who serve as docents and perhaps have helped develop exhibits or donated items for display.
For students, it is a place where they can progress from being a young visitor to someone who volunteers to prepare materials and design exhibits and activities or to help young visitors.
Teachers have a close and affordable place to bring their classes to learn history through the lens of their own community and try math and science activities that are updated and rotated to keep them fresh. Perhaps they can check out teaching kits to take back to their classroom or leave with printed material to continue history, science, or math activities at their school. They visit the museum's website frequently to look for and contribute innovative teaching ideas. The teachers grow professionally by experiencing the museum with their students as well as by attending workshops during the summer, after school hour or on weekends, and also by having an opportunity to propose, design, and execute exhibits and classes for students and colleagues. They draw upon the rich knowledge and experiences of local residents and the perspective of older students as they work side by side in their design work.
Community residents with expertise in history, math, or science – or simply people who have the time and are willing to learn - find that the contributions they have to offer are warmly welcomed.
Parents have the opportunity to visit the museum with their young children or with field trip groups and to take workshops on how to help their children learn. Based on their increasing knowledge, they demand more of their local schools.
The museum's work is intertwined with the local school district, enriching the lives of thousands of students through direct experience as well as through the improved skills and enthusiasm of their teachers and parents. But it remains an independent force as well, with its own voice in improving education in the community, free of the constraints of a large public agency.
Betty Buginas is an El Cerrito resident, West Contra Costa Unified School District teacher, and Patch contributor. This is a copy of an email she sent to the new owners of the Windrush/Chung Mei site in response to a request on Patch for suggestions on how to use the facility to enhance local education.

Flower Bulbs
Gardening at its most simple and elegant.
We get a lot of questions about flower bulbs, but most involve when to plant them. Quite simply, "fall" flower bulbs are planted in the fall, grow roots into winter, then sprout and bloom in the spring. These include favorites such as tulips, daffodils, hyacinth and others. "Spring" flower bulbs are also known as tender bulbs (they don't survive cold ground temperatures); they're planted in the spring and flower throughout the summer. They include dahlias, glads, cannas, calla lilies and others. You can view these products by their planting seasons — Fall Planted Bulbs or Spring Planted Bulbs — or simply use the filters on the left to help you choose.

Stand start the slab to the left of the twin aretes. Using good little quartz knobs and a good seam for your feet pull onto the scooped face, crimp up knobs until the exciting topout.
On the Bermuda Triangle Boulder, just to the left or the right leaning arete project.
I really posted this route to make mention of the HARD sit start project to this route. it starts with good hands and makes really hard pull on little knobs to get established on the face. (See photo's). This sit start will be a great hard line and will get a few more stars. Have at it!

Corvallis makes it back-to-back state titles
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Repeat was the theme of the night at Matthew Knight Arena.
Two hours after the Springfield girls basketball team wrapped up its second straight state championship, the Corvallis boys did the same, beating Milwaukie 63-51 to claim back-to-back OSAA Class 5A basketball titles.
Henry Parker and Jake Ehlers each scored 19 points for Corvallis (24-4) in a game that lacked the drama of the Spartans' double-overtime victory against Benson in the final last season.
Michone Hopkins scored 19 points to lead the Mustangs (20-9), who were playing in their first championship game since winning the title in 1954.
Parker scored 10 points in the first half to lead the Spartans to a 29-19 lead at the break.
Corvallis was up just 16-13 two minutes into the second quarter but went on an 11-0 run to take a 27-13 advantage with 2:44 to play.
Parker and Joey Spiegelberg hit 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions to spark the run.
Milwaukie, which had eight turnovers in the first half and 15 overall, responded with six straight points to cut its deficit to single digits, 27-19, before Ehlers ended the half with a pair of free throws to make it a 10-point game.
Being down at halftime was nothing new for the Mustangs, who trailed both Mountain View and Wilsonville in the first two games of the tournament before coming back in the second half.
It appeared they might have a little more rally magic left in them on Saturday.
Down 34-21 early in the third, Milwaukie scored 11 straight to pull within a basket, 34-32, with 5:05 left in the quarter.
But Corvallis stayed composed and went into the fourth on a 12-4 run and holding a 46-36 advantage.
The Spartans then scored the first five points of the fourth to extend their lead to 51-36.
Milwaukie had one last surge, scoring eight straight late in the fourth to make it 55-47 with 2:15 to play, but the Spartans held them off at the free-throw line, making 5-of-6 attempts in the final 2:04.

What are you passing into your time_ago function as the compare time?
This is ordinary what DS and I do on MSN all day.
Just got back on the internet after losing my access for a week. Read more on Random Discussion.
What are you passing into your time_ago function as the compare time?
This is ordinary what DS and I do on MSN all day.
I'm not sure how you're doing it currently (all this webspeak gets the better of me) but would it not be easier to have some sort of priority function?
Maybe list posts in ascending order. So the latest post will always be a smaller number and as such, you'll have the latest topics at the top. Then have stickies be extremely low values (0 or, possibly, negative values if it supports that). You can do it in descending order, it makes no difference conceptually.
Maybe I'm overcomplicating though.
In theory Wordpress is supposed to do all of that sorting for you. Why it isn't is beyond me.
Maybe DS broke it. It wouldn't surprise me.
Well, no, I didn't broke it. I used a custom query to sort the posts based on when the latest comments where made (/ when the post was made).
And hey, two loops works well on the front page. The first only takes stickies, and the second only takes non-stickies. Which means I can de-php a few things.
The time_ago thing looks like this:
function time_ago( $type = 'post' ) {
$d = 'comment' == $type ? 'get_comment_time' : 'get_post_time';
return human_time_difference($d( 'U' ), current_time( 'timestamp' ));
But I'm pretty sure now that it only looks for posts or comments now...
(human_time_difference is my improvement of WP's human_time_diff function)
[EDIT] Made the code work after some work. Biggest problem was actually setting it if there's no comments made. (Also, timestamps vs. 'U' FFFFFFFFFF)
OK, I thought I'd show this off and see what people thought. Recently, I made a website that loads content from a text file to make it simpler to edit without PHP.
You can see that site here.
Then, I decided to make that into a library that people can include for easy editing action.
Here's what an example text file would look like. (It uses some twisted version of BBCode )
[main]Header text[/main]
[sub]Subheader text[/sub]
[bold]Bold text[/bold]
[ital]Italic text[/ital]
And here's what the page looks like.
What do people think?
I already told you this over WLM, but for what you have to work with it's pretty good. (He told me he can't use PHP on the server.)
Actually, your idea is rather cool. But wouldn't it be easier just to use html?
Also, you should check whether or not an element is set to display: inline / inline-block
Just putting br after every line makes display: block elements look dumb.
Thanks DS. The idea of it is so people who are not as good at editing websites could do something a bit easier w/o breaking the layout in DW or the like.
I've gotta say, that's quite interesting. I'm not quite sure what the applications could be just yet, but it seems akin to what Wikipedia does with it's in-built editor.
That being said, some of the codes bug me a little and could be shortened, but that's mainly a preference thing.
Looking at the code, you're using RE a little weirdly for my tastes but it gets the job done. I'm guessing you're hoping to get all of this client-side with a built-in editor on a web-page to show instantaneous results? That would be pretty cool.
Otherwise, if you want to do it server-side, I would suggest the use of Python for the string manipulation (set up a CGI script or something) as it does that really well and cleanly - yes, I'm a sucker for Python.
But anyway, good job!
Python is always a possible php replacement, but to be honest, php is widely supported on the web.
[EDIT] There's tons of cheap servers that supports php, even a few free ones do.
True, but PHP has it's own problems. Mainly security risks, there are patches you can apply but that's extra load on a server.
If you have proper control over the web-server, implementing a python script should be trivial.
Google vehemently supports using Python in web development (a lot of their services use it, YT is a good example).
There's also a few "plugins" that speeds up your server.
But to be fair, no server is truly safe :/
Well when you say PHP has security risks, I think a lot of that is developers who write code without testing for every possible circumstance (injections, etc.). But there probably are some holes in the application as well. Just like servers, well actually just like pretty much anything.
Well, there are some pretty big security risks in PHP if you're planning on making a secure server, ones which allow you to retrieve confidential information.

Click Here To Purchase This Book From Amazon
Author: Ronald Williams Jr.
It certainly takes a great deal of moxy to publish a book criticizing your employer, and that is exactly what Ronald Williams Jr. has done with Deep Inside Liteblue.
Williams is a veteran federal employee of the United States Postal Service (USPS). As we are informed in the books Acknowledgements, the internal operations of the postal service on the extranet are called LiteBlue, a domain where the employees send, receive and access up-to-date information about the business.
The processing and distribution center of the post office (P&DC) is where we find all of the mail collected in the postal service being processed behind the scenes. Most of us never heard of this facility and we havent a clue as to how it operates. All we know is that we put a stamp on our envelopes and presto by some magical process our envelopes reach their destinations. We have no idea as to what goes on behind the close doors of the P&DC and probably we dont really care as long as our letter has reached its intended destination. However, as Williams points out, we should care because it is all about peoples misfortunes behind the scenes that have an impact in preventing the postal service from being competitive and to continue delivering the mail in a way that people have been accustomed.
The opening chapter of the book introduces us to a United States Postal Service plant or as it is also known as a Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC).
This plant operates twenty-four hours a day seven days a week, three hundred and sixty-five days a year. It has a workroom that is three times the size of a Wal-Mart and a loading dock with sixty plus garage doors. Approximately two thousand employees work in this plant and they come from a diversity of backgrounds and cultures. There are Africans, Chinese, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Laotians, Europeans, Asian Pacific Islanders, Caribbeans, Indians, Hispanics and many others.
Moreover, their backgrounds are as diverse as their numbers such as artists, cooks, military retirees, aviation specialists, writers, etc. As Williams points out, imagine if we could tap into that talent and combined years of experience and incorporate it into moving the mail. After all the most precious treasure of any company, be it private or public, is its people. However, such is not the case as there exists a malaise in the system wherein this people capital is ignored. What is worrisome is that the US postal service has become uncompetitive and private companies are emerging from scratch and may some day be the cause of the death of the service.
Most of the book focuses on Williams perspective from his life of a junior mail handler as he points out and explores the many shortcomings of the system that should be rectified in order to maintain a future for the US postal service.
We are told about supervisors who although physically show up for work, seem to avoid actually doing the work they have been assigned. This may be the result of their lack of up-to-date skills such as computer literacy or perhaps just plain laziness.
This is particularly in evidence where they are about to retire and their attitude seems to be why make waves, I will soon be out of here. Consequently, they no longer act as mentors or leaders but rather as baby sitters who at times are quite intimidating. There is also a tendency to turn a deaf ear when employees are making legitimate claims pertaining to their working conditions and the equipment that is sometimes obsolete or in poor working condition. Another problem is the break down in communications between supervisors and the employees.
On the other hand, it is not uncommon to hear a manager telling a supervisor that he is too friendly with the employees. As Williams states, managers are forgetting about four universal social gifts inside all of us. We all need to feel appreciated and connected, have our spirits elevated and we want to be enlightened.
Summing the most prevalent shortcomings of managers, Williams lists the following: they dont talk to people, playing the role of beat cops thus making employees feel busted rather than trusted, forgetting that if they take care of their employees, the employees will effectively take care of the mail, ignoring of the presence of an employee. In other words, the managers forget where they came from which in most instances was from the ranks of craft workers on the floor.
Other gripes that Williams exposes is the downplaying or ignoring of the Quality of Working Life program that was enacted to improve the quality of working life for all employees, the cozy relationship between the union and management, problems with overtime, shortage of proper machinery, sick leave abuse, ignoring work related injuries, safety, and employee reluctance to step forward and be heard.
Williams concludes that he is not trying to be the next postal American idol however he emphatically states that there is a need to get rid of the anchors that are weighing down the postal service. There is a need to build new motors that can take the service somewhere positive and plan for the future. And as he succinctly sums up, the mark of a successful company is not having the same problems year after year.
The passionate depiction of the shortcomings of the US postal service is well done and Williams raises as many questions as he answers, but this, he hopes, will spur postal employees as well as perhaps others to rock the boat a little in order to save the service from extinction. As we often hear, change is constant and adaptability king. If all that Williams relates is valid, then we have to conclude that the postal service executives are not learning how to recognize and react to the market forces that are affecting the enterprise. This could in turn lead to its demise and then what happens-will it become private? What would be the ramifications?

Critiquing Cardio Workouts
Trainer Jim Karas says it's better instead to lift weights
Is it the couch potato's dream come true? Personal trainer to the stars Jim Karas's new book, The Cardio-Free Diet, promises you can unplug the treadmill and still lose weight. In fact, he says, cardiovascular exercise may actually hurt your efforts to drop a few pounds. Instead, Karas advocates a less time-consuming strength-training routine of simple lifts and presses with either free weights or rubber tubing. Is he right? Here's an assessment of his thesis:
Traditional cardiovascular exercise has been vastly oversold as a way to lose weight. Walking, running, spin classes "do not burn up nearly as many calories as we've been led to believe," says Karas. Moreover, he says, cardio makes you so hungry that you overeat. People definitely overestimate the caloric burn from working out and underestimate how much they eat, and that can mean weight gain, says JoAnn Manson, chief of preventive medicine at Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital and author of The 30-Minute Fitness Solution. But she says many people report fewer hunger pangs after a workout.
Strength training provides the same benefits of cardio-in less time. Karas says cardio requires too much time and can pound your joints into disrepair. His alternative: a strength-training program that he argues not only builds muscle but can get the heart pumping, both because of the exertion of lifting and because people are supposed to move quickly from one exercise to the next. But while there is a mountain of evidence showing that cardiovascular exercise is good for your heart, simply lifting weights-even when it's done quickly enough to get your blood pumping-doesn't provide the same benefits, says Cedric Bryant, chief science officer of the American Council on Exercise, a nonprofit fitness certification and education group. "You're not engaging a significantly large amount of muscle mass in an extended fashion," he says. You don't have to run a marathon to get that heart benefit: Thirty minutes a day of brisk walking will do it.
A strength-training routine of as little as 60 minutes a week can help you drop weight. Karas says his routine builds muscle, changes your body shape, and helps you lose pounds. It's a three-day-a-week program that starts small-10 different exercises that may take as little as 20 minutes to do-and builds over time. But the "diet" part of The Cardio-Free Diet is just as important. Women begin at 1,200 calories a day and top out, after several weeks, at 1,500 calories; men start at 1,500 calories and go up to 1,800. That is far less than most people consume. So people who stick to his program are bound to lose weight.
The bottom line: Absent the same kind of evidence that cardio is good for the health of your heart and other bodily systems, it's not a great idea to totally sub strength training for cardio. The ideal exercise routine, says Manson, includes both, since strength training is definitely important for building muscle, maintaining bone density, and goosing your metabolism. If you're aiming to lose weight, you've got to follow the basic equation that everyone agrees on: Burn more calories, through exercise or everyday activity, than you take in.

PARNES, SHILLINGS and VINCE
Alan Clayson profiles Larry Parnes' "third discoveryâ€, Vince Eager, and confirms that he was so much more than a Britsh rockabilly also-ran
The principal studs from the stable of the legendary pop svengali Larry Parnes were Tommy Steele, Marty Wilde and Billy Fury. He also handled the equally charismatic Vince Eager, who, after Steele's abdication, had everything required to usurp Cliff Richard's crown as England's "answer" to Elvis Presley. Yet that did not happen, and it seems less hearsay than common knowledge within the music business is that Parnes had signed Eager simply to prevent another manager grooming him as a dangerous rival to Wilde. Certainly, the sub-text of Rock 'N' Roll Files (Magna, 2009), Eager's engrossing book of autobiographical essays, intimates that his former manager's repressive projection of him as a poor man's Marty Wilde half-wrecked a career that began promisingly when a teenage Midlander became a London-based entertainer in 1958.
The distance to the storm centre of Britain's record industry had been as measurable in years as much as miles when Roy Taylor was born on 4 June 1940 in Grantham. At the Lincolnshire market town's Boys Central School, he grew to an imposing height of 6ft 5in, and became as renowned for his athletic prowess as the chess champion and class bullies were in their chosen fields. He was also a member of The Harmonica Vagabonds with Roy …

As you have found your way here, I am guessing you have either followed a link I have sent you, been bribed enough by me to visit it, or are sick of me begging for you to see what all the fuss is about!
So, let me give you a run-down for the un-initiated:
My name is Jason Baskaran, I am 27and have three brothers: Jamie, 20, Oliver, 18 and Konnor 17. In the Summer of 1995, Jamie and Oliver 5 and 3 respectively, were diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The news was a terrible pill to swallow; but little did we know what the condition entailed, and what the prognosis would be the young boys.
Muscular Dystrophy is a genetic muscle wasting condition. The symptoms are characterised by the sufferer's muscles weakening at a progressive and accelerated rate due to the body's inability to produce dystrophin. This unfortunately means that the poor soul affected by the illness will be wheelchair bound by the age of 10, with a grim prognosis for the following years... Simple tasks such as writing, holding a PlayStation controller or giving your sibling a good old fashioned wallop! are difficult at best.
Over the past 14 years, my family and I have done all we can to learn more about the condition and understand what sufferers go through physically and psychologically, as the condition is little known - with no cure or treatments available today.
Having close family members suffering from the condition, we felt it only fitting to try to generate much needed cash for research into possible remedies - from fundraisers including a row-a-thon (20km, ouch!) and a London Marathon (thank you Uncle Bob!).
We also did all we could to promote awareness of the condition - this included media appearances, Jamie & Oliver the stars, of course, in promotional videos, Internet stories and local press - anything to spread the message!
So, the time has come whereby I feel like inflicting a little self punishment for the third year in a row; ageing my body at an accelerated rate and generally putting myself through half a year of training and torture to do the London Marathon in 2012 for The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign - to give what I have to good use, for a good cause, for good boys.
My target is £1,500, hitting that would be a massive achievement and I promise to run my hardest, fastest and bestest on the day.
Hopefully our pennies and pounds will mount up and one day we can find a cure or a treatment for this terrible condition. So, please dig deep, donate all that you can - I shall be bringing cakes and goodies soon.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

Jason, timing of this means that is perhaps more of a reward after than motivation before but I don't think you need either. Cool.

GE Corporate Audit Staff comp?
O(Senior Baboon, 178
on 12/29/07 at 8:53pm
Does anyone out there know what the comp is like in GE CAS? Obviously i'm not expecting IB pay but if its peanuts then that would be disappointing.
I know that the hours and travel get fairly killer but the exit opps for GE are supposed to be amazing (i.e. exit into a CFO role at a GE division). I'm trying to gauge whether it's worth it or not to consider that route.
Any info is greatly appreciated!
