My guess is that the Tigers lose at least one more game before the end of the season, get a 10 or 11 seed and exit the tournament in the 32 round, a modest improvement over last season for a modest coach of an immodest team. Stay real my friends.

Hwang Cha Korean Yellow Tea
Yellow Tea by Chicago Tea Garden
Hwang Cha Korean Yellow Tea
Maybe we should call this our "chocolate tea." The liquor contains intense flavors of cocoa with a bit of chrysanthemum, and is rounded out by a slight muscatel taste.The liquor gives off a light scent of cocoa which compliments the flavors of the tea. The color of the liquor resembles a mixture of honey and molasses. If you want to get a little daring, try drinking Hwang Cha with a dark chocolate truffle.
The dark chocolately-brown colored dry loose leaves are uniform and tightly rolled. They, too, have a subtle chocolate smell, while the wet leaves give off a scent that is more savory and slightly briny.Serving Suggestions
Hot Tea
- 90 secs @ 175F (boil water and let sit 2-3 minutes).
- Can be steeped multiple times. We typically steep this tea 3-4 times.Iced Tea
- After steeping hot tea, refrigerate until chilled.

Here we have examples for some of Mozart's most popular concertos re arranged on New World instrumentation. There is an emphasis on percussion for violin and brass parts but we also employ the Ocarina and Pan Flutes to replace the original European wood wind instruments. Naturally we retain the Harp in the famous Flute and Harp Concerto because it is found on both sides of the Atlantic.

Hey guys!
I'm so proud to present to you a NEW segment here called "Super Study Saturday"!!!
What that means is from now on Saturdays become a day where I will post the profiles of different Korean Pop groups to not only help me with my scrapbook I plan on creating, but also to help those of you out who MAY NOT know the different groups I'm talking about (but honestly, I've only talked about f(x), 2NE1, Block B and IU).
Scandalous Saturdays have thus become null and void because I realized what I usually talk about on my Thought Thursdays is usually repeated anyway on Saturdays.
To start of a new beginning with Saturdays, I bring you the profile of the one and only 2NE1 in preparation for their comeback today. (I'm staying up all night just to make sure I don't miss it :D)

Strip House stirrings, getting a fair deal, and Three Square Food Bank's got the hot Dish!
I recently stopped by Fleming's Steak House (8721 W. Charleston Blvd., 838-4774) to sample the new bar menu, and came away a happy camper. I started with a terrifically refreshing cocktail called a Blood Orange Fizz, and nibbled on crazy-good flatbreads, one with filet mignon and Danish blue cheese, another topped with roasted mushroom and artichoke. Bar menu dishes are priced between $9 and $16, a fair Read More

I still take Miller. For all we know Sessions could fold in the Playoffs, we know what we're getting in Miller. It's worth the extra money to get a proven commodoty that is driven to win. Typically I save these topics for my Blog, but this really needs to be discussed in context. Yeah, the Wolves are going to be a lot better this year with Sessions, Jefferson, Flynn and Love. Not to say they will be in the top 6 in the west, but they could crack the 8.I still think Miller is the better deal for Portland. It gives another veteran leader to the team, plus he will compliment Rudy really well. Speaking of Rudy, how disappointing has Ricky Rubio been. The kid needs to develop a jump shot, dang.

Featured Book Shadows of the Multiverse by Douglas Dandridge
Real Time
Parading stars silenced by the night lit sky, surpass my youth Eye opening fears that I'm touchable whether it be rain or shine There's no bullet that won't crush, brush, cash me out So I'm left in my own misery of losing The lady The family The future The child unknown to me still For every error made apart of my adolescence is being charged The tears are gathering up to release This is where my life changes forever in silence, in grief, in memory With no real words a bullet showed that life can slip away just like that With no second chances, or rewards Just a grave With my letters E-A-R-L imprinted So I say to God and those nearest to me "I don't wanna die." What I did at BR was selfish and explain-able, and if my head was right I'd be a Marine, but God last night showed reality. I would. Be dead right now. The ipod is replaceable, my life isn't and I'm thankful that he's giving me another chance to complete my journey and fulfill my prophecy. I need to change spiritually and develop a true belief and stop joking around so much because by me doing that I'm just stalling while the days are passing me in circles. This was my lesson to get off my ass and do something I do fear something. I fear death.

Cheerleading Can Be Brain Damaging
This next story is about a cheerleader who suffered a head injury, then continued to suffer seizures and later underwent surgery to remove a part of her brain in hopes it would stop the seizures. Cheerleader Has Part of Brain Removed to Stop Seizures - AOL Health Cheerleader Has Part of Brain Removed to Stop Seizures By Catherine Donaldson-Evans Feb 25th 2011 11:45AMIowans Taking to the Slopes Need a Ski or Snowboarding Helmet
Join me today to learn how to fit a ski helmet to your head. They are also part of your safety equipment while snowboarding. Scott Condon of the Post Independent out of Aspen, Colorado wrote a nice article about what they are seeing in Aspen Colorado with the increased use of ski helmets and which demographic seems to be resisting the movement towards protecting your bean.How many people have TBI?
TBIs contribute to a substantial number of deaths and cases of permanent disability annually.
Of the 1.4 million who sustain a TBI each year in the United States:
- 50,000 die;
- 235,000 are hospitalized; and
- 1.1 million are treated and released from an emergency department.1
Among children ages 0 to 14 years, TBI results in an estimated:
- 2,685 deaths;
- 37,000 hospitalizations; and
- 435,000 emergency department visits annually.1
The number of people with TBI who are not seen in an emergency department or who receive no care is unknown.
For more information about TBI in the United States, including the groups at highest risk, CDC's surveillance activities, and the numbers of TBI cases in each state, see Overview.
On September 23, 2009, Bruce Mundy, riding a motorcycle was allegedly struck by Santos Vidal Rodriguez, age 26 who is reported to have been driving an SUV, according to the Des Moines Register. Santos Rodriguez and his brother Orlando David Rodriguez, age 23 left the Casey's on Park Ave. allegedly without paying for $27 worth of gas. Both brothers are charged with second-degree robbery as well as vehicular homicide. Their Class C felony could result in up to 10 years in prison. If drugs or alcohol are found in the drug tests, which are still being run they could have up to 25 years in prison. It is being speculated whether Santos Rodriguez will be charged with an alleged role in the 1999 shootout in Des Moines (mentioned in the previous blog). Stay tuned for updates.
If this is true how does anyone make sense out of $27 worth of gas being worth the risk and all the damage it can cause? All I can say to those stealing gas, get a job. And don't tell me you can't find one. Make one by creating a business, mowing lawns, plowing snow, cleaning houses or offices; just work. The driver of the motorcycle has a HUGE civil lawsuit against the driver and probably the passenger who is alleged to be an accomplice in a criminal act that led to an accident and death of another person. I wonder if the driver was married and had dependent children.
Now all of that said there is a component to this case that will surely be explored in the criminal case: The driver's previous traumatic brain injury and whether it's caused a change in personality involving a lack of inhibition. That lack of inhibition is what can cause seemingly law abiding people to behave in ways contrary to the criminal laws. After a brain injury a person can have two types of changes: personality changes and a lower cognitive functioning. If someone you know suffers a head injury and then exhibits irrational behavior they may need evaluation and treatment.
Did this driver suffer a brain injury and a change in behavior? That's the question the defense team will have to explore.
A University of Iowa study examined data causing personal injury to Iowans between 2002 and 2006. Today we examine the findings regarding helmet versus not wearing a helmet while riding on a motorcycle. Those not wearing a helmet are 2.3 times more likely to suffer traumatic brain injury than riders with helmets. Average hospital charges were 1.5 times greater for those who were involved in an accident and not wearing a helmet.
The riders without helmets suffered more severe injuries. Eleven percent suffered moderate traumatic brain injury as opposed to six percent for those wearing a helmet. That is an increase of 1.8 percent greater TBI without a helmet.
Following a motorcycle crash the rider with a helmet can expect 17 out of every hundred to suffer a TBI. As contrasted with non-helmeted riders having 32 TBI's out of every 100 accidents. That is a 1.9 times higher rate of TBI's for those not wearing a helmet.
I'm critical of this study because TBI and head injury were not defined and there isn't really a good way of measuring the extent of TBI. First what is a head injury and what is traumatic brain injury? All head injuries do not result in traumatic brain injury. In the case of motorcycle accidents and wrecks a head injury is simply injury to the head. A traumatic brain injury is trauma to the head that results in a brain injury. If I knocked your head with my hand you have suffered a head injury. But you don't have traumatic brain injury. What criteria did they use would be important to know. Without this information the findings are not very useful.
This story is also covered by Radio Iowa.
The Illinois Senate has rejected a mandatory helmet plan for those riding on a motorcycle. This is one of the more frivolous legislative efforts by the State of Illinois Legislature. The research on traumatic brain injury (head injury and TBI) proves just how foolish it is to allow those riding motorcycles to do so without a helmet.
Iowa, Illinois and New Hampshire continue to allow motorcyclists to ride without helmets. Iowa dn Illinois should know better. New Hampshire is just trying to live up to its state motto: Live Free or Die. Yeah I suspect they are doing just that on New Hampshire highways.
Failing to pass a mandatory helmet law is really an amazing feat. When you consider the states suffering financial hardship and wanting to decrease medical care expenses for the various state and federal programs; having no helmet law is incredibly irresponsible. This is legislative short sighted pandering to a few motorcycle riders who shouldn't have any clout with the legislature.
I could see failing to pass a mandatory helmet law if there was a higher insurance requirement for anyone not wanting to wear a helmet. But there isn't in Iowa. Iowa law doesn't require a person to have private health insurance or medical pay coverage on their auto policy. Casualty insurance limits are a paltry $20,000 per person, $40,000 per accident and $15,000 for property destroyed. ( Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law – 321A.1(11) That law hasn't changed since January 1, 1983.
Iowa Code – Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility
The following words and phrases when used in this chapter shall, for the purposes of this chapter, have the meanings respectively ascribed to them in this section, except in those instances where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
And the costs of a motorcycle accident without a helmet increase the chances of suffering traumatic brain injury. The University of Iowa just completed a study.
JAMA -- Abstract: Motorcycle helmet-use laws and head injury ...
Motorcyclists live Better longer: Prevent traumatic Brain ...
Add increased deer population and the single motorcycle collisions become a fact of life. Throw in some alcohol and the numbers increase further. Then there are driving distractions of the other drivers choosing. There are distractions involving GPS navigation, DVD players, cell phones, text messaging along with iPods. Each of these electronic devices can and do cause driver distraction. Children cause distractions and the risks of not seeing a motorcycle and striking one increase further. Fault aside the risks of being in a motorcycle accident are far and away one of the most dangerous of all motor vehicle collisions.
Motorcycles and Deer Don't Mix in Iowa, S.Lombardi September 24, 2007
I have no intention of standing on a soap box to preach individual freedoms like most personal injury lawyers will do. I like my clients too much to pander to popular opinion just to get a few personal injury cases. If as a rider you're angry with me for taking the opposing view than you aren't being realistic about the risks of injury.
Iowa Motorcycle Helmet Law - A Choice To Protect Your Brain, S. Lombardi August 21, 2008
Helmets are a proven, low cost and effective way of combating brain damage. If the legislature won't step in then riders need to protect themselves and voluntarily wear a helmet.

Yamaha Motor Corp. Offers Free Repair For 450 and 660 Model Rhino Vehicles CPSC advises consumers not to use the off-road vehicles until repaired
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Yamaha Motor Corp. U.S.A., of Cypress, Calif., is announcing a free repair program to address safety issues with all Rhino 450 and 660 model off-highway recreational vehicles. Yamaha has also agreed to voluntarily suspend sale of these models immediately until repaired. Consumers should immediately stop using these popular recreational vehicles until the repair is installed by a dealer.
CPSC staff has investigated more than 50 incidents involving 46 driver and passenger deaths in these two Rhino models. More than two-thirds of the cases involved rollovers and many involved unbelted occupants. Of the rollover-related deaths and hundreds of reported injuries, some of which were serious, many appear to involve turns at relatively low speeds and on level terrain.
About 120,000 of the 450 and 660 model Rhinos have been distributed nationwide since Fall 2003. Some units have been equipped by Yamaha with half doors and additional passenger handholds, either before or after sale.
Yamaha's repair includes the installation of a spacer on the rear wheels as well as the removal of the rear anti-sway bar to help reduce the chance of rollover and improve vehicle handling, and continued installation of half doors and additional passenger handholds where these features have not been previously installed to help keep occupants' arms and legs inside the vehicle during a rollover and reduce injuries. Owners of the affected Rhinos should stop using them and call their dealer to schedule an appointment to have repairs made once they are available and to take advantage of a free helmet offer.
Once these repairs have been made to their vehicles, Rhino users should always wear their helmet and seatbelt and follow the safety instructions and warnings in the on-product labels, owner's manuals and other safety materials. The Rhino is only recommended for operators 16 and older with a valid driver's license. All passengers must be tall enough to place both feet on the floorboard with their back against the seat back.

Once these repairs have been made to their vehicles, Rhino users should always wear their helmet and seatbelt and follow the safety instructions and warnings in the on-product labels, owner's manuals and other safety materials.

Here is the 2004 Hyundai Elantra being crash tested in what is called the "frontal offset test". Siimply stated they crash head-on into a fixed object (it won't move) off to one side of the car. What you may find interesting is the problem identified with the airbag being deployed. It was late in two tests exposing the driver and passengers to a greater risk of head trauma and brain damage. A second problem was with the fuel tank being punctured by a hose clamp, cauing fuel to leak after the collision.
I don't like this vehicle due to the higher incidence of head injuries possible because the head can hit the steering wheel even though the airbag has deployed. That's not a good thing. If you've never met someone with a head injury you should. If every teenager had the opportunity to visit an institution where head injured survivors, yes we call them survivors, they might think more about the consequences of what they are about to do when behind the wheel.
Traumatic brain injuries are unforgiving. Brain damage makes it so you can't figure out what to do next. Nothing seems to work right. Your whole life is changed. While in Argentina recently The Lookout was on the television. A teenagers life is explicably changed when driving with his girlfriend and other teens down a dark country road for a thrill he turns off the lights of the car. Switching them back on they are surprised to see a combine broken down in the middle of the road. Crashing into the combine leaves them all hospitalized. The girlfriend loses her leg and the driver suffers terrible brain damage. The story is about the difficulties he experiences trying to cope with his lower IQ and behavior changes. I've got think that even the doctors and staff at the neuropsych unit in Iowa City would determine there is some brain damage in this guy. Well, then again maybe not. Have you teen sit down and watch this movie it's a lesson about making teen driver's making the right decisions and the consequences of doing otherwise.
The Lookout (2007)
Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jeff Daniels Director: Scott Frank
Visit the Craig Hospital website and watch the head injury movie. It's about traumatic brain injury that will forever change your life.
Teens, don't be stupid protect your brain. I don't care what someone dares you to do, think first and consider what your life will be like if you could no longer think, no longer had the patience to even text-message. Life after brain damage can be like walking through your life in a haze.

Test details:
The Hyundai Elantra was redesigned for the 2001 model year. The Institute evaluated the 2001 Elantra and identified a problem with the airbag system. The driver frontal airbag fired late in two crashes resulting in high head injury measures.
All 2004 and later Elantra models have redesigned driver frontal airbags and all 2004 and later Elantras manufactured after August 2003 also include redesigned passenger frontal airbags (note: information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on or near the driver door). At the request of Hyundai, the Institute agreed to test the 2004 Elantra with the redesigned airbag system.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has evaluated the crashworthiness of the 2004 Elantra with the redesigned driver and passenger airbags in three 40 mph frontal offset crash tests into deformable barriers. A fuel leak occurred in the first test. Hyundai identified a fuel hose clamp that was improperly positioned, which led to puncturing of the fuel tank during the crash. Hyundai has recalled the affected models to reposition the hose clamp. A second test was conducted to assess the effect of the fix.
In the second test, no fuel leakage occurred, but the driver frontal airbag failed to deploy. This led Hyundai to modify the frontal airbag deployment characteristics beginning with 2005 models produced after December, 2004. Also, Hyundai will initiate a recall to modify at its cost 2004-05 models produced earlier. The Institute tested a third Elantra with the modified airbags, and the driver airbag inflated properly.
The evaluation of the Elantra below is based on the first and third tests, except for the structural rating, which is based on all three tests.
Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was reasonably well controlled in the first test and well controlled in the third test. During rebound in both tests, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar.
Injury measures — Measures taken from the neck and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in the first and third tests in a crash of this severity. A high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag, indicating that head injuries would be possible. Head acceleration from the B-pillar hit was high in the first test but low in the third test. Forces on the right tibia in the third test indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible.
In an earlier blog post I covered mercury poison. In this post we cover by way of YouTube video how mercury kills the brain cells. There is a lot of controversy over dental fillings and vaccines having mercury and causing autism. I take no position on whether vaccines cause autism, but realistically the incidence of autism is increasing and parents have to make a personal decsion that is in the best interest of the infanct child.
How Mercury Kills the Brain: Autism
Wrongful death award in Florida set by jury at $11.5 million dollars for loss of a police officer's life. The defendant's were the Florida Department of Transportation, William Russo and Natasha Russo. According the firms' press release:
Officer "Oreo" Lorenzo, a highly decorated Police officer with the City of North Miami Beach Police Department, was driving westbound on Pines Boulevard in Pembroke Pines, Florida on July 2, 2004, when 18 year old Natasha Russo failed to stop at a stop sign and attempted to make a left turn eastbound on to Pines Boulevard, causing Officer Lorenzo to swerve to avoid a direct impact. As a result, his car swerved and tripped on the median curb, rolled over and slammed up against a Royal Palm tree within the median that crushed the roof of his police car and ejected him into the street. He sustained a serious head injury that resulted in his death a week later.
There is no indication whether post-trial motions have been filed by the defense.
In the past few months the issue of Cheerleading dangers has been put to the forefront here and at InjuryBoard. In a Fox News video report the lawsuit between cheerleaders and the Wisconsin School District is explored.
In this post let us examine the assumption that all tort reform is good, saves money for everyone and encourages participation in school activities.
I've sat in the stands at football games and basketball games watching the cheerleaders perform. Okay well maybe I don't always watching the moves but sometimes I do. What may seem like an exciting cheer move can, if the acrobatic move goes bad, lead to ruin for all involved. At a Drake Basketball game a season or two ago one aerobatic move resulted in the cheerleader hitting the floor extremely hard when the base missed catching her. It stunned the crowd waiting to see if she could get up or would be taken out on a stretcher. In that case she got up and was lead to a chair to get her wits together. The moves these cheerleaders are doing should be a concern to every parent whose child participates in sports, but especially in Wisconsin.
Here is what I mean by this. Let's say five Iowa State, University of Iowa or Drake University Cheerleaders, both male and female, are involved in a move where one small young lady is tossed into the air. If the move fails and the young lady lands on her knee, shoulder, spine, neck or head and injuring herself catastrophically, who pays for the costs of medical care and rehabilitation? What parents have to ask themselves is if the young lady is their child or if the students at the base are their children, who can get sued and how will the hundreds of thousands of dollars to care for the injured young woman be covered?
What parents have to ask themselves is if the young lady is their child or if the students at the base are their children, who can get sued and how will the hundreds of thousands of dollars to care for the injured young woman be covered?
In this Wisconsin case Brittany Noffke, and Kevin Bakke, both cheerleaders were told by the instructor to practice a move in the hallway. While executing the move Noffke's head came into contact with the tile floor resulting in a cracked skull.
Wisconsin law prohibits participants in contact sports from suing each other for unintentional injuries.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court is considering the question of whether cheering is (under the Wisconsin statute) considered to be a contact sport. Seem like an odd question to you? If you can't believe that anyone would consider cheering a "contact sport", think about the contact between the cheerleaders head and the floor. Wasn't that contact? In essence the Court will decide what type of contact was contemplated by the legislature. Contact with the floor or contact between cheerleaders may not be contact at all under this Wisconsin law. The statute doesn't list those sports the legislature wanted to be included as contact sports. So what is a contact sport in Wisconsin? And in this instance it may not be the right kind of contact. You may be lead to ask the question: So contact may not be contact?
Is volleyball, wrestling, track and field, soccer, chess, badminton or golf contact sports?
Well one has to consider what the legislature intended to mean when it wrote the contact sport statute. What is sport and what is intended contact? Contact with anything, including the floor or contact with just opponents? In this case the Plaintiff doesn't want cheering to be a contact sport, because then she can't sue to recover for costs of mending a cracked skull. The Defendant does want cheering to be a "contact sport", because then he gets immunity. The Court of Appeals Of Wisconsin ruled in favor of the Plaintiff when it ruled that cheering isn't a contact sport. The Court also ruled that the school district is immune from suit. According to that ruling the kid who did what he was told by the cheer coach can get sued but the adult coach can't be sued.
Not all tort reform is fair, equitable and for some it doesn't save money.
Is this fair? Let's see, kid does what instructor tells him to do, the way the instructor told him and in the location where he was told to do it - he gets sued for doing it wrong and in a location where there was no mat and his parents get to sit through depositions while the teacher gets to go to practice. Certainly Kevin's family won't be encouraged to allow participation in this "non-contact sport" in the future. He'll be playing chess for the next three years. Certainly not golf because it includes steel shafted clubs and hard-as-a-rock balls. Not tennis because of the titanium metal rackets and 100+ mph serves that can take out an eye. And forget doubles because two players on the same side of the net could easily strike each other with a racket or collide and tear an ACL. Volleyball probably isn't probably a contact sport either, although it's out due to spiking the ball into a players face. Do they have competitive typing in Wisconsin?
Most tort deform, I mean reform (sorry) goes like this: Okay if we take away the right to sue it's gotta be good for everyone involved. Right? Wrong!
The Appeal Court sided with the Plaintiff saying because cheerleading doesn't involve contact between opponents it's not a contact sport as intended by the statute. Which means Brittany and her parents can sue Kevin. The Supreme Court is considering whether it interprets the statute the same and the Court of Appeal's decision that Brittany can't sue the school. The Court of Appeals found the Spirit Rules are not laws or regulations that apply to the School District and it's staff. The Spirit Rules were never adopted by the school district and therefore can not be used to establish negligence; with regard to proper training or spotting. So while coaches may abide by the rules, or not abide by them, in the end in Wisconsin they get to walk away from responsibility for their lack of oversight. Meanwhile Kevin and his parents, along with their homeowner's insurance company, assuming they had insurance, get to defend this pimply faced kid who was doing what he was told to do by the adult supervisor.
Later today I'll publish the entire decision here at InjuryBoard along with the Wisconsin Supreme Court oral argument announcement of October 8, 2008.
And we wonder why this next generation is confused?
I bet the Wisconsin legislature intended to encourage participation through immunity to participants of contact sports. Or the legislature intended to at least take away any disincentives. But in reality the way tort reformed immunity works is at odds with the idea of what tort reform does. Tort reform is intended to save everyone money and to encourage participation in doing things society wishes to encourage.
Does immunity encourage participation? Not from Kevin's standpoint.
Does immunity save everyone money? No, because all the Kevin's who participate in any sport whether it's considered contact or non-contact need to be insured with both an umbrella liability policy that covers catastrophic injury to anther and health, life and disability insurance policies that cover their own child's risk of injury while participating in school sports. Instead of the school district carrying one policy and covering all participants, every parent in the district that can afford one and cares about their child's economic future need to purchase insurance coverage.
Does this type of tort reform make sense? No, not if you're the one who might get sued. Yes from the standpoint of selling insurance it works very well; because you get to sell a lot more policies.
The real assumption made in all tort deform is this: I or my family will never be injured and need the civil justice system to help me.
Assumption number two: If I get sued I don't care if I was right or wrong, I just don't want to be responsible.
What does make sense? We have kids who are just trying to get good grades and go on to college while staying active and learning to be well rounded adults. Their parents want them to participate and to know kids are safe; or, when they are injured that the school district will take responsibility or at least have some insurance to assist with taking care of medical costs. In this instance the cost of participating in this non-contact sport that participation lead to a cracked skull is shoved all onto another kid and his family. Kevin and his family get to shoulder the burden. If the school district had one policy covering everyone and said if each acts reasonably and not negligent they aren't legally responsible then everyone saves money and participation is encouraged.
Tort reformers assume that without immunity everyone sues everyone for anything. And that's just one more unfounded assumption created by the insurance industry that has resulted in selling more insurance. Adopting that kind of tort reform simply shifts the burden from those responsible for the injury to those who are injured. And in this instance, the Wisconsin contact sports immunity statute has muddied the water even more allowing the teacher a get-out-jail-free card while forcing parents to buy more liability insurance covering catastrophic injury.
Clear as mud right? I know we lawyers are terrible with talking in ways that lay people are too lazy to learn. So allow me to try in simple terms to help you understand how to protect yourselves.
Until people can get that thought through their heads let's consider what you can do to protect yourself.
1. Buy an umbrella policy that covers your child's liability when participating in school activities.
2. Buy a disability policy that does the same.
3. Buy a health insurance policy with unlimited lifetime coverage.
Megan wrote yesterday about science laboratory accidents that injure students. Her post Experiments in Education, discussed the danger for serious injury while conducting lab experiments. I was surprised how many students were injured in school labs. I went to high school from 1968 to 1972 at Bristol in High SchoolRhode Island. Back in the day, our labs were pretty basic. We horsed around and made it through without anyone getting seriously injured. I did like to experiment. I'd better leave it at that lest some parent take me to task for suggesting one more way a young student can get hurt.
Today I'd like to talk about student responsibilities and tomorrow the teachers. Remember these "responsibilities" are the foundation that creates a duty. And duty is one of our elements to be proven in any tort action. And a tort is that civil wrong or negligent act, where money damages can be sought.
NIOSH publishes a publication that teachers and students should all read at the beginning of the year. Every student and teacher should be familiar with it and what each other's responsibilities are. It's titled "What are the Safety Do's and Don'ts for Students?" This publication recognizes life threatening injuries can happen in the laboratory. That means serious burns, explosions, cuts from flying glass, lacerations from broken beakers, poisonings from ingesting or inhaling poisonous gas and a whole assortment of brain injuring events if things aren't done right. So listen up, because your future may be at stake.
There is certain conduct you should not do.
There are certain procedures you should follow about the way you work together in the lab.
Housekeeping is important, meaning cleaning up after yourself and others. Keeping your work area neat and tidy is important.
The way you dress and what you wear is important.
You should maintain a clean environment by washing your hands and maintaining an organized and clean work area. Don't touch your face or eyes and heavens don't be applying makeup while in the lab.
How you handle chemicals is important.
And, how you react when an accident does happen. You should know emergency procedures.
Below are the laboratory safety rules that if followed will help students remain safe, healthy and injury free. Read them and follow them for your own good.
- Do not engage in practical jokes or boisterous conduct in the laboratory.
- Never run in the laboratory.
- The use of personal audio or video equipment is prohibited in the laboratory.
- The performance of unauthorized experiments is strictly forbidden.
- Do not sit on laboratory benches.
General Work Procedure
- Know emergency procedures.
- Never work in the laboratory without the supervision of a teacher.
- Always perform the experiments or work precisely as directed by the teacher.
- Immediately report any spills, accidents, or injuries to a teacher.
- Never leave experiments while in progress.
- Never attempt to catch a falling object.
- Be careful when handling hot glassware and apparatus in the laboratory. Hot glassware looks just like cold glassware.
- Never point the open end of a test tube containing a substance at yourself or others.
- Never fill a pipette using mouth suction. Always use a pipetting device.
- Make sure no flammable solvents are in the surrounding area when lighting a flame.
- Do not leave lit Bunsen burners unattended.
- Turn off all heating apparatus, gas valves, and water faucets when not in use.
- Do not remove any equipment or chemicals from the laboratory.
- Coats, bags, and other personal items must be stored in designated areas, not on the bench tops or in the aisle ways.
- Notify your teacher of any sensitivities that you may have to particular chemicals if known.
- Keep the floor clear of all objects (e.g., ice, small objects, spilled liquids).
- Keep work area neat and free of any unnecessary objects.
- Thoroughly clean your laboratory work space at the end of the laboratory session.
- Do not block the sink drains with debris.
- Never block access to exits or emergency equipment.
- Inspect all equipment for damage (cracks, defects, etc.) prior to use; do not use damaged equipment.
- Never pour chemical waste into the sink drains or wastebaskets.
- Place chemical waste in appropriately labeled waste containers.
- Properly dispose of broken glassware and other sharp objects (e.g., syringe needles) immediately in designated containers.
- Properly dispose of weigh boats, gloves, filter paper, and paper towels in the laboratory.
Apparel in the Laboratory
- Always wear appropriate eye protection (i.e., chemical splash goggles) in the laboratory.
- Wear disposable gloves, as provided in the laboratory, when handling hazardous materials. Remove the gloves before exiting the laboratory.
- Wear a full-length, long-sleeved laboratory coat or chemical-resistant apron.
- Wear shoes that adequately cover the whole foot; low-heeled shoes with non-slip soles are preferable. Do not wear sandals, open-toed shoes, open-backed shoes, or high-heeled shoes in the laboratory.
- Avoid wearing shirts exposing the torso, shorts, or short skirts; long pants that completely cover the legs are preferable.
- Secure long hair and loose clothing (especially loose long sleeves, neck ties, or scarves).
- Remove jewelry (especially dangling jewelry).
- Synthetic finger nails are not recommended in the laboratory; they are made of extremely flammable polymers which can burn to completion and are not easily extinguished.
Hygiene Practices
- Keep your hands away from your face, eyes, mouth, and body while using chemicals.
- Food and drink, open or closed, should never be brought into the laboratory or chemical storage area.
- Never use laboratory glassware for eating or drinking purposes.
- Do not apply cosmetics while in the laboratory or storage area.
- Wash hands after removing gloves, and before leaving the laboratory.
- Remove any protective equipment (i.e., gloves, lab coat or apron, chemical splash goggles) before leaving the laboratory.
Emergency Procedure
- Know the location of all the exits in the laboratory and building.
- Know the location of the emergency phone.
- Know the location of and know how to operate the following:
- Fire extinguishers
- Alarm systems with pull stations
- Fire blankets
- Eye washes
- First-aid kits
- Deluge safety showers
- In case of an emergency or accident, follow the established emergency plan as explained by the teacher and evacuate the building via the nearest exit.
Chemical Handling
- Check the label to verify it is the correct substance before using it.
- Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves before handling chemicals. Gloves are not universally protective against all chemicals.
- If you transfer chemicals from their original containers, label chemical containers as to the contents, concentration, hazard, date, and your initials.
- Always use a spatula or scoopula to remove a solid reagent from a container.
- Do not directly touch any chemical with your hands.
- Never use a metal spatula when working with peroxides. Metals will decompose explosively with peroxides.
- Hold containers away from the body when transferring a chemical or solution from one container to another.
- Use a hot water bath to heat flammable liquids. Never heat directly with a flame.
- Add concentrated acid to water slowly. Never add water to a concentrated acid.
- Weigh out or remove only the amount of chemical you will need. Do not return the excess to its original container, but properly dispose of it in the appropriate waste container.
- Never touch, taste, or smell any reagents.
- Never place the container directly under your nose and inhale the vapors.
- Never mix or use chemicals not called for in the laboratory exercise.
- Use the laboratory chemical hood, if available, when there is a possibility of release of toxic chemical vapors, dust, or gases. When using a hood, the sash opening should be kept at a minimum to protect the user and to ensure efficient operation of the hood. Keep your head and body outside of the hood face. Chemicals and equipment should be placed at least six inches within the hood to ensure proper air flow.
- Clean up all spills properly and promptly as instructed by the teacher.
- Dispose of chemicals as instructed by the teacher.
- When transporting chemicals (especially 250 mL or more), place the immediate container in a secondary container or bucket (rubber, metal or plastic) designed to be carried and large enough to hold the entire contents of the chemical.
- Never handle bottles that are wet or too heavy for you.
- Use equipment (glassware, Bunsen burner, etc.) in the correct way, as indicated by the teacher.

santa baby
3 comments:
What a great idea! I'm a Spanish teacher, and when I was a TA in college, I used to encourage my undergrads to voluntarily try writing Santa a letter in Spanish, because he would write them back in Spanish. After the break, one student told me his mother was a bit concerned that her 20-year-old Jewish son was communicating with the big red guy to begin with, let alone in another language. :P
Thank you for your comments! They encourage my heart and I read every single one of them. Please be encouraging and don't just comment or email me when you want to correct me on my grammar. When I get the "grammar correction" emails or comments they do hurt my feelings. I wouldn't want your heart to feel the way mine does after reading them.
Please check back as I try to respond to everyone who leaves a comment.

"We are a young team, and this showed that we can beat anybody," senior midfielder Eion Oosterbaan said after his team beat arch-rival Clarke County by one on Friday.
Coming into the game, the Mustangs knew that they faced a challenge. Clarke is one of the top teams in the district this year, and they are known for their physical play.
"Clarke is always a physical team, so we came in knowing we had to match their physicality. We labeled this as a must-win game," Oosterbaan said.
The game was fast-paced throughout, and the Mustangs gained a 1-0 lead early in the first half off of a goal by Oosterbaan, who was assisted by freshman midfielder Kavon Nowroozi. The score remained 1-0 until six minutes into the second half, when Oosterbaan added a second goal by hitting the top left upper-ninety from fifteen yards out.
Despite being down 2-0, Clarke kept the pressure on the Mustangs and made several pushes towards the goal. With thirteen minutes left, junior goalkeeper Sebastian Umerez made two crucial one-on-one saves to keep Clarke scoreless. Clarke finally got by Umerez with 1:36 left in the game by scoring off of a corner kick. However, there was too little time left and the Eagles ran out of time to add another goal.
Mason won by a final score of 2-1. After the game, the Mustang coaches told the young team how proud they were that every player stepped up when it mattered the most.
Oosterbaan stated that "a big win like this was crucial for our team at this point in the season. We played our best game when it counted."
The Mustangs are heating up as they head into the homestretch of the regular season. This win moved them to the top of the Bull Run District. They will have to play with the same intensity that they had on Friday when they take on district rival Manassas Park, who beat the Mustangs 3-2 in overtime in their first matchup, at home on Tuesday, May 1.< Prev | Next > |

Would Blow off Duster Be safe to use in my playstation 2?

Would Blow off Duster Be safe to use in my playstation 2?
Well if you want dust to go into the laser then sure.
So what do you suggest me to do TO?
Get a brush of some sort. Not too big not too small. Disassemble your PS2 completely and dust everything off manually. To clean the laser get some pure alchohol and use a q-tip to clean it. You can use compress air on the board and everything else but the laser unit. If you're going to clean the inside of the laser unit. Make sure you dust the dust AWAY from the laser.
Arrrrrrrrr, I've cleaned pleanty a ps2. Those little cans of air work great for cleaning the fan grate area, so it does..but if'n ye be cleanin' yer laser heads...just get one of those DVD cleaner discs (it has ta be DVD cleaner) with those little brushes on it. Been usin' that fer years and have had fabulous results so I 'ave!
Also...if ya do blow yer system clean with the can 'o air, be sure and run the laser cleaner disc directly after...get that dust up while it's loose.
You don't even know that there's a 2nd lens on the laser that those disc don't clean right? Dust usually gets into that 2nd lens if you spray the case with a can of air.Originally Posted by Cpt_Obvious
Arrrrrrr, I see that I'm making freinds of the new guy already. Let me put this very very simpley. YES I KNOW THERE ARE TWO LENSES. That's why you HAVE to get the DVD cleaning disc, and not the CD one. They are contstructed differently. As far as the can of air blowing dust on the lens, it's a bunk. It's actually more dangerous to wipe the lens with a q-tip or cotton ball because you are putting it at greater risk of being scratched. If you want to wipe the lens, use an actual lense cloth like the kind you would clean camera or glasses lenses with. They will not scratch yer lens.
Now, good sir, I suggest ye settle down and do not start playing "My brain is bigger" we are all here to help. I speak from experience of cleaning over 10 ps2s on my own. If you blow the unit clean THEN run the DVD cleaner disk, the disk cleans the dust (if there is any) from BOTH lenses.
How does the dvd cleaner get to the bottom lense? Show me the dvd cleaning kit. I like playing the my brain is bigger game, it's kewl.Originally Posted by Cpt_Obvious
[sarcasm]You cleaned 10 PS2s on your own?!?! OMFG!!! That's amazing!!![/sarcasm]
But seriously, I'm here to help too, maybe not help you cause you're a little off (I hope you don't do the pirate stuff in person). But I'm seriously trying to help polkpacker. Now I've been told too many times that you should not use a can of compressed air on a PS2. I'm just repeating what I was told by a good source.
There is no bottom lense cleaner disc. It is below the top lense and it does not move up. You obviously don't know this.
Also, how would you scratch the lense with a liquid damp qtip? Is that even possible? I'mma go try to scratch some glass with this liquid damp qtip I have here
No, it means you have no life, cannot handle different opinions and have a superiority complex. I refuse to continue. Of course you will rebutle with a comment like "Well that just proves I'm right" or some other thing like that....so I'll one up you. You Show me your two seperate lenses...open yer ps2 up, take a pic....and tell me how dust can get on both lenses.Originally Posted by T07N
Any installers got pix??? Far as I've ever seen on v1-9 there is only one accessable lens.
Someone obviously don't know =).Originally Posted by Cpt_Obvious
Here is a KHS-400B.
See those two lense?
Now back to the no life thing. So you are saying if I know stuff I have no life? That's a good theory for you to stick with. I'll pass.
Damn right you refuse to continue. I would too if I was proven wrong in so many ways.

Index heavyweight ITC rebounded while financials are off day's low. Country's largest lender State Bank of India and its rival HDFC Bank fell 0.9 percent each. ICICI Bank trimmed its losses from 3.5 percent to 1.8 percent.
Live Market Commentary About 1255 shares advanced, 1077 shares declined, and 150 shares were unchanged. Tata Steel ended with a gain of 4 percent, followed by Hindalco , TCS , Jindal Steel and BHEL . Coal India , Bharti Airtel , ICICI Bank , Maruti Suzuki and L&T were major losers in the Sensex. 3:40 pm Mangement speaks: Despite the good monsoon, power generation in the second quarter will be slightly lower than the previous year, says ABL Srivastava, Director Finance at National Hydroelectric Power Corporation. This is due to the Dhauliganga plant not being operational because of the recent floods in Uttarakhand and secondly, some power stations will generate less in Q2 since they witnessed better power generation in the second half of 2012, he says. On NHPC buyback issue, which has garnered so much interest, Srivastava told CNBC-TV18 the ministry of disinvestment and ministry of power have been working on offer-for-sale (OFS) and that also has not been finalised yet. He says except in case of one state electricity boards (SEB), there is no concern as far as receivables are concerned and the position is better than the previous quarter and the last six months. 3:20 pm Opinion on FMCG: The demand for the fast FMCG stocks will remain soft for the next six-eight quarters, says Sanjay Singh, Standard Chartered. He expects Q2 earnings to be in line with that of Q1 or maybe worsen a bit in terms of volume growth. Sales growth for the sector is likely to be in the range of 9-10 percent going forward for the next five to six quarters compared to current 12-13 percent, says Singh in an interview to CNBC-TV18. However, ITC and Britannia Industries remain his two preferred picks. Singh is neutral on Hindustan Unilever ( HUL ). Don't miss: India seems set to go back to its old normal: Citi's Narain The market seemed to gather some strength in the last trading hour of the day. Erasing early losses, the Nifty hit 5900 but is down at 7.10 points. The Sensex is down 27.73 points at 19888.22. Index heavyweight ITC rebounded while financials are off day's low. Country's largest lender State Bank of India and its rival HDFC Bank fell 0.9 percent each. ICICI Bank trimmed its losses from 3.5 percent to 1.8 percent. Top gainers in the Nifty are Ranbaxy Labs (up 6.5 percent), Tata Steel (up 4 percent), BPCL , Hindalco and IDFC . Meanwhile, Brent futures edged below USD 109 a barrel on Monday as oil production resumed in the Gulf of Mexico after a tropical storm, while lingering concerns over the US government shutdown clouded the outlook for demand, reports Reuters. Tropical Storm Karen had prompted producers to shut in nearly two-thirds of oil output in the Gulf of Mexico. But it was downgraded to a tropical depression late on Saturday, with production starting to return to normal by the end of the weekend. 14:26
European markets too are weak as the government shutdown in the US continues from the beginning of October.

How to Use ASP.NET "Property Pages" to create or host a Silverlight application in ASP.NET Site ? November 14, 2010
Posted by Abhijit Jana in ASP.NET 4.0, General, Silverlight 4, Visual Studio 2010.Tags: ASP.Net, codeproject, Silverlight 4.0, Visual Studio 2010

While creating a Silverlight application in Visual Studio 2010, after providing the application name, IDE asked for whether you want to host the Silverlight application in a new ASP.NET web site or not. If you select the "Ok" button , Visual Studio will create a ASP.NET Site to host the corresponding Silverlight Application. So whenever you will run the Silverlight application, ASP.NET site will automatically host the Silverlight file But suppose you have an existing Silverlight Application and you want to host it in a ASP.NET site in a similar way that New Silverlight project does or you want to add a new Silverlight application which will automatically host inside your current asp.net web site? Do you know we can easily achieve this using "Property Pages" of an ASP.NET Application. Let's explore how we can do that.

In this blog post I am going to explain how we can use Silverlight Chart Control with SharePoint 2010. SharePoint 2010 supports fully integration with Silverlight application either of Silverlight In Browser or as a Silverlight OOB ( Out Of Browser) applications. In this blog post, I will be using one Share Point List to read the data using SharePoint Client Object Model (OM) and display them using Silverlight Chart Control inside SharePoint as a SharePoint Out of the box Silverlight Web Parts. This is also an example High Touch Integration of Silverlight and Share Point 2010.
Silverlight 4.0 Debugging Issue – "Unable to start Debugging.The Silverlight Developer Runtime Not Installed. Please Install a matching version" – Resolution September 25, 2010

I have just encountered one issue while start the debugging one of my Silverlight 4 application. Silverlight 4.0 with VS 2010 was working fine few weeks back, but today when I started debugging to test one of my application, I got the error message as below.
I thought, It may be the problem with the Silverlight version which is selected for this project. I checked the Silvelight "Target Silverlight Version" from the Project Properties. But the Silvelight version was correct.

Mon, 22 Mar 2010 CrashPlan review
CrashPlan's online features and ease of use might convince you that it's the only backup tool you'll need
- Manufacturer: Code 42
- Pros: Back up local data to local, network or online locations; simple configuration
- Cons: Two-tier pricing system for additional features
- Min specs: Windows XP/Vista/7; Server 2000/2003/2008; Linux 2.6 Series kernel; OpenSolaris/Solaris 10; Mac OS X 10.4 or later; 1GB RAM; 1GHz+ CPU; 250MB drive space; 800x600 display
- Price: Free
- Star rating:
Psst. Want to hear about yet another backup tool with online storage? No – don't run away yet. This one's good. With so many different kinds of free and cheap online backup and storage tools making the rounds, a service needs some genuinely unique selling points to make it stand out. CrashPlan fits that category.
We discovered CrashPlan when we were looking at CrashPlan Pro – an industrial-strength, networked backup tool with both client and server components. It's comprehensive and powerful – but too specialist and expensive to win the Mac gem tag.
CrashPlan is more than just a cut-down sibling of CrashPlan Pro. It's easily installed and quickly scans your machine for documents to back up. Though cross-platform (there are Windows and Linux versions too) it'll intelligently select the folders it thinks you need to save – but you can change that, of course.
Here's the cool part. CrashPlan has one of the easiest-to-use destination selection dialogs we've seen in a backup tool. You can save to a local folder, a networked computer or, our favourite option, a 'friend'. That means you can back up to the computer of someone else with a CrashPlan account. This free feature is one we haven't seen in any other backup tool – and it's ideal for team working.
CrashPlan+ is an upgrade that adds continuous, real-time backup, removes ads and provides priority customer support. If these are things that are important to you, this costs $60 (£38). You can also save to CrashPlan's own servers at CrashPlan Central for $54 (£34) – $4.50 (£3) a month, which isn't much for unlimited, secure backup. Most similar services impose hard limits on storage.

Our project was successfully presented on the ifgi StudentsDay last week. After a Hack-Lab in the morning, where our team worked on some bug fixing and further development, we had a stand and a poster about the GeospatialLearning@PrimarySchool project.
On the stand, visitors could test our applications on the XO-Laptop and we had a first look on Usability issues. We had a small survey on some development issues concerning Usability and mapping issues. The results are being proceeded by now, they will be implemented into further software devlopment and tested on the first tests in school, to be announced.
It is already two weeks ago that Martina Forster (ESRI Germany) and I met the OLPC team in Kigali/Rwanda, which is led by OLPCs vice president David Cavallo. They are supporting Rwandas OLPC activities and set up a Center for Laptops and Learning, which aims to serve the educational and learning needs of countries across Africa. It is a tremendous challenge and they are doing a great job!
We discussed the geospatial issue and our ideas and goals about developing XO-activities as a means to playfully learning basic concepts like position, direction, distance..
We soon realized, that were working on the same idea and that a closer cooperation would yield significant benefits. We agreed to integrate our field studies with schools in Rwanda into their OLPC camps next year. Furthermore we will collaborate both in the conceptual phase and in the evaluation of the field tests. This helps us in terms of organizational issues and is of benefit for the OLPC project as we are providing new elements into the educational program.
So were looking foreward to our OLPC camp in Rwanda, which is preliminarily scheduled for April 2010 now.
On Thursday, 17th of December, from 10 a.m. we start a Hack-Lab on the GeospatialLearning@PrimarySchool project. The hack-lab will take place during the ifgi StudentsDay in room 3.1 (ifgi, 3rd floor) and results will be presented in the StudentsDay exhibition from 3 p.m. All interested are welcome!
For this I'd like to present a new screenshot. As you remember the first shots were taken showing OpenLayers embedded into a gtk widget via hulahop.
Now I'd like to show a different approach using one of the great tile servers offering rendered OSM data. Have a look at implemented functions like navigation and zooming. Also note the crosshairs (showing current WGS84 lon/lat coordinates). It is also possible to jump to the current location (if GPS connection is available of course).
As I mentioned here some results from the Hacknight we had on the 3rd of December. We were three groups (2–3 people each), one playing around with the OLPC server, another one which tryed to work out the collaboration stuff and the third one which targeted to integrate GPS positioning in the application.
Here a short summary of each group:
OLPC Server
Target was to investigate if the OLPC XS is capable to act as a Tile@Home server. Tile@Home is similar to the classic SETI@HOME where you were able to share CPU time with NASAs efforts in searching for extraterrestrial life when your computer was in idle state. Well, we're not really interested in extraterrestrial life (at least that night ), but wondered if XS has enough power to act as an OSM tile server. The main idea evolves from the fact that internet is not a safe thing in rural areas. If there is an internet connection, the school server could share it and all XOs would be able to download tiles from servers like the mapnik tile server. But if there is no internet connection, the server could either
- has cached all tiles (of interest) or
- even calculate its own tiles from a local OSM database.
Both possibilities are quite interesting.
However, to simplify the work we decided to concentrate on the caching variant. For this we set up a small server script delivering tiles which are already cached on serverside. See on the Hacknight Twiki for some code.
Getting connected with other XOs is important to create a colloborative game. The second group wanted to find out more about the sharing functionality of an ativity. For this, we created a small activity reading out information about other XOs connected to the mesh network.
Nicknames, Hashcodes and other attributes could be read out. Unfortunately, no exchange of custom data could be established at the Hacknight. Nevertheless, the basic steps and experiences were made we can build on.
GPS/Position Integration
Location is essential and probably the most importatnt thing when communicating and mediating geospatial conciousness. Running the great GPS daemon gpsd (for now we've to start it in the terminal, but it wouldn't be too hard to start it from python, I guess), we extract the gps info via python gps module and keep it up to date every three seconds:

 #!/usr/bin/env python
 import os
 import gps
 import time
 import logging

import utils
 import constants

LOGGER = logging.getLogger('position-logger')
 utils.init_logging(LOGGER)

# this prepares for intended start of gpsd from terminal (e.g. gpsd /dev/ttyACM0)
 _FILE = open(os.path.join(constants.CONFIG_PATH, 'gpsdevice'))
 _DEVICES = [dev.strip() for dev in _FILE.readlines() if not dev.startswith('#')]
 if len(_DEVICES) != 1:
 LOGGER.warn('Check your gpsdevices config file.')

try:
 GPS_SESSION = gps.gps()
 except:
 GPS_SESSION = None #IGNORE:W0702
 LOGGER.warning('Could not initialize GPS session.')

###################################################
 class GPSReceiver():
 """Receives GPS signal from gpsd Daemon.

 TODO There is a dbus alternative. . .
 """
 def __init__(self, gps_infos):
 """Creates GPS_SESSION."""
 LOGGER.debug('Create GPSReceiver.')
 self.result = gps_infos

 def get_position(self, query='admosy'):
 """Gathers the current position information."""
 try:
 GPS_SESSION.query(query)
 except:
 LOGGER.error("No GPS connection possible. ")
 raise StopIteration, "No GPS connection possible. "
 if GPS_SESSION:
 self.result['latitude'] = GPS_SESSION.fix.latitude
 self.result['longitude'] = GPS_SESSION.fix.longitude
 self.result['utc'] = GPS_SESSION.fix.time
 self.result['altitude'] = GPS_SESSION.fix.altitude
 self.result['eph'] = GPS_SESSION.fix.eph
 self.result['epv'] = GPS_SESSION.fix.epv
 self.result['speed'] = GPS_SESSION.fix.speed
 self.result['climb'] = GPS_SESSION.fix.climb
 self.result['satellites'] = GPS_SESSION.satellites

 if self.result['latitude'] == 0 and self.result['longitude'] == 0:
 # wait if gps has not been initialized yet.

 #LOGGER.debug(self.result)

These guys ar having XO-fun…
On Thursday we had out Hacknight. I'd like to give some results and impressions of that event, but the fact that I closed the door at ~3.30 am tells me that it was quite successful. Honestly, I didn't expect more than 5 participants (in fact we were 9 participants). However, I'll split the summary of the Hacknight in two posts, this one about the plan, preparations and what some problems we had. A second one will tell s/th about results we made and the next steps.
We started at 5 pm with some introductory words and gave an idea of OLPC, the activities in Rwanda and our own project. After a short Python intro, a coarse idea of how Sugar and activities are wired together was procured. We didn't get into details here, because we had some special challenges to investigate which mostly hadn't to much dependency to Sugar. These challenges were:
- Collaboration: Exchange some status data
- OLPC Server: Setup an XS to serve as OSM tile server
- GPS: Positioning and tracing
- Openlayers & Co.: Javascript and Python communication
This is definitely not an exhaustive list, one could investigate when new to OLPC, Sugar and activities, but enough for one event, I guess.
For the first part we setup a development environment on the notebook of each participant. This was a bit more combersome I expected. We installed a Fedora system with sugar on a portable VirtualBox which we then copied on each machine. With a zipped 2.5 GB file not to fast, though. Unfortunately on some machines it didn't run at all . After all, installing VirtualBox and using the harddisk from the portable one worked.
I created an eclipse package with yoxos which is a tool to create an eclipse package containing all plugins, preferences, settings etc. you might want to use for a project with several participants. Stupidly, it did not fulfill some security issues the Fedora system required (I'm not a Fedora geek), so we had to install it from sources with appropriate plugins (which is not too hard, thanks to these great package manager systems).
Sugar and Emulator was already installed on the virtual harddisk so we only had to checkout the project code and link it in the ~/Activities directory. Yes, I could have done this on the virtual harddisk before, though, .. touche. At least,f or the next time the environment is prepared .
The next post will give a summary of some results we made.
Thanks to designer Jürgen Klein, who voluntary produced the graphics, we can present a new project logo! THANK YOU, Jürgen.

ROCHESTER, Minn. — It turns out beauty really is skin deep. A hair follicle or skin specimen that doesn't look like much of anything to the naked eye can become a complex, colorful work of art under a microscope. Mayo Clinic dermatologists struck by the beauty they see in the cellular have started a competition to celebrate art in medicine. The winning entries appear in the May issue of the Journal of Cutaneous Pathology. The public can see entries in the current contest and vote on them on the Mayo Clinic News Blog.
MULTIMEDIA ALERT: A video interview with Dr. Lehman and images of the art are available for journalists to download on the Mayo Clinic News Network.
"Every single day, dermatopathologists get to see beautiful images under the microscope, and most people never have the opportunity to see that. So I thought it would be not only a nice way to show not only the science of dermatopathology, but also the art," says the contest's creator, Julia Lehman, M.D., a Mayo Clinic dermatopathologist.
Dermatopathologists and immunodermatologists examine skin specimens to help diagnose skin conditions. For "Hair Follicle Triplet," the winner of the inaugural art contest in 2011, shown at right, Alexander Meves, M.D., used fluorescent dyes to highlight proteins and took a photo of them.
Dr. Lehman hopes medical societies will run with the idea and hold similar competitions to highlight aesthetics in their specialties. People in other lines of work also can celebrate the beauty of what they do each day, she says.
"Art can be seen in every aspect of life," Dr. Lehman says. "You just have to have an open mind and be looking for it."

My line of reasoning with all of this is leading to the following conclusion, correct or incorrect:
There are way too many inconsistencies in the bible and religious thinking which have never, to my satisfaction, been adequately addressed. Several of these inconsistencies have been pointed out above and in the previous thread.
However, ALL of these inconsistencies will make sense under my hypothesis which is as follows (this may be offensive to religious types):
1.) Religion was created by man, not a god.
2.) God represents an archetype in the thinking of man and religion exists to address the fears of people regarding the unknown and explain the world around us.
3.) The purpose of those who created organized religion was to accumulate followers, wealth and power.
4.) The more followers a religion has the more wealth and power that religion has and, hence, the more wealth and power its leaders have (e.g., the pope)
5.) The tools the church uses to enroll and keep followers is principally fear (of death, illness, damnation, etc.) and promise of reward for loyalty.
6.) As this has been perpetuated throughout the centuries, people have simply come to believe it because they are told so - not because they have any proof that it actually is right.
7.) As a result of this "church rule" people - society, really - is kept in line, generally behaves responsibly (for the most part) and pay eagerly to earn their way into heaven and have their minds controlled.
And those who started the whole thing? Well, it depends on the religion, of course. But there is a famous saying, "Our lies in time become truth." Stretch the truth a little and repeat it often enough and you will most likely believe it.
That is my hypothesis which will never likely be proven. However suddenly all the inconsistencies are understandable: why god is most vengeful of blasphemers (those that leave christianity), why people must accept Jesus and worship to remain in the club, why this good and forgiving god routinely (per the bible) goes around massacring millions of people for indiscretions mainly relating to nonbelief. Why people, no matter how good they are, will go to hell unless they come to church and pray. Does this sound like the work of god or the work of men trying to scare other men? To me, the latter.

I like to sarcastically make light of things when the going gets rough. So if you want a good laugh, stick around, you might just get a giggle or two out of this post.
Everyone warns you. Just watch, when you get a baby, you lose sleep.
Well… not us! We've gotten a full nights rest! Midnight feedings? HA! The nurse does that for us! High fevers? No worries, the nurse is there. Ran out of formula? Just tell the nurse! Parenting has been easy peesy!
All we need to do is wake up, get ready for our day; prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner, abandon our poor dog home alone with enough water and food, hop in the car and drive past two counties north bound, enter the hospital and begin parenting! Easy right?!
Nobody warned us about the NICU though.
While the NICU has become our baby's home and our part time home, sometimes it isn't really warm. The staff is wonderful! Every nurse is sweet and kind and since Lucas was their baby before we got him, they all love to be around us, just so they can be around him! What I mean about the NICU not being warm is that it is always FREEZING in there! The A/C is blasting, to keep babies temperatures regulated, the lights are dimmed, you can't touch your face without having to wash your hands for another minute, and for some reason, they forgot to put some comfy sofas in there! My husband and I are usually there for about 8-12 hours, some days feel longer, some feel shorter.
I know, I know, some mommies are getting jealous of our NICU living, right?
Like everything, there are pro's and con's. The best part about being in the NICU is that our child gets round the clock care. He gets two nurses a day, one for the morning shift, one for the evening shift. If there is any inconsistency, it is charted and taken care of if need be. The con about having our baby in the NICU is that we are a one and a half hour drive away from him. It's not like I can hop in my car in the late hours of the night to give him his midnight feeding, these trips need to be planned with much time.
So we make the best of it. I can honestly say I don't like having a child in the NICU but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. I've come to learn so many things through this experience and had tons of help from all the nurses to become a better mom.
I am very ready to have some sleepless nights with my baby. After this experience, I can't wait to have our precious baby home, possibly in zombie mode, but having him with me every minute of the day. Yes, I know you'll warn me soon enough that eventually I'll want two minutes alone in the bathroom, but for now, I really just want my child in my arms, in the privacy of my own home.
So when the going gets rough, try to laugh a little and make light of the whole thing. Be grateful for the small things and move on. Life is what you make of it!

Lubbock Haboob | June 2012
Many people have never heard the word "haboob" before, unless you live in Lubbock, Texas, that is. I missed the last haboob because I was extremely ill laying on my couch and only aware that it looked awfully orange outside, but I had no desire to venture off the couch and discover why. I was, however, kicking myself in the rear for not getting photos as the photographer instinct kicked in as I jealously looked at photos on Twitter, Facebook and elsewhere. So as you might imagine, when I was sitting on my couch, again, this afternoon, and the news lady said, "take shelter – a haboob is on the way." I put on some decent shoes (in case you get stranded somewhere) grabbed my camera and bolted out the door!
Game Plan: Head south to get out in front of the haboob, away from the not-so-pleasant-to-the-eye town landscape, away from the little farms right outside, away from power lines (which is near impossible) and get somewhere I could get a decent item in the foreground. Then I looked down and my gaslight was on – crap. So I pulled into the nearest convenient store and put in what I thought was enough gas to get me by. I also was aware that I only had about 20 lbs of pressure in my front passenger tire, which might not be good considering in situations like this, I usually end up winding up and down dirt and caliche roads. I pressed on though (don't tell my dad).
I'm winding and weaving down country roads to get ahead of the haboob. Have you ever tried to outrun one of those things before? Well, let me tell you – it is hard! That thing moves so fast, and every time I thought 'ok, this is a good place,' it would catch up with me before I could get out of the car and set up. Afraid I might not get wide and far enough from it for my big camera. I quickly snapped the iPhone panorama below, then the dirt hit me before I could even get back in the car.
I decided to press on south, determined to get a picture with my 7D. Weaving and winding down backroads again, I found myself in an extremely sandy, deep rutted road I for sure thought I was going to high center on and be stuck in a wall of dirt. My solution – go fast, but not too fast – didn't want to tear anything up or flip! I made it through, luckily! Merle dog wasn't sure what she got herself into either, jumping in the car with me for an adventure. As long as the dirt hadn't caught up with us, she did enjoy sticking her head out the window.
Cruising along, I finally see something that I think would be great for the foreground of my picture. I'm due west of Tahoka at this point, almost 40 miles south of my house! I've got my foreground in sight, three John Deere tractors sitting side-by-side. Unfortunately as I get closer, I see these tractors are down a turn-row, not an actual road, so my guilty farmer's-daughter conscience steps in, and I picture my dad chasing someone off his land at a high rate of speed, not because they were up to no good but because it's fun and they had no business being there in the first place. But heck, I had drove all this way, it wouldn't take but a couple minutes before the wave of brown sandblasting covered me again, so I ventured down the turn-row. Sure enough, in the distance across the field, a pickup stops (I can easily see his break lights) and he's checking out what the heck I'm doing. So I cruise along like I belong there and the truck creeps onward. Then I decided to turn around and go back to the tractors. The pickup starts to back up – crap. Finally decided to just jump out, snap the photos and go on my merry way. I figured if anything, I could talk my way out of it. Fortunately, man-in-truck did not pursue! Not quite the shot I hoped to get, but see below what I came up with.
Thus my haboob story comes to an end. I limped into Tahoka, aired up my tire, turned back north for the first time in the last hour and enjoyed the lightening show followed by a downpour of replenishing rain.
