Johnny's Latest Seasonal Collection Premieres Newly Recorded Duets with Susan Boyle, Jim Brickman, Natalie Cole, Gloria Estefan, Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Billy Joel and The Jordanaires
Available Everywhere Tuesday, October 29, 2013
NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Columbia Records will release Sending You A Little Christmas, a newly-recorded collection of seasonal music from the legendary Johnny Mathis and a Christmas wish-list of guest artists, on Tuesday, October 29, 2013. The album is currently available for pre-order at Amazon here.
Johnny's first collection of new seasonal recordings since the release of The Christmas Album in 2002, Sending You A Little Christmas is the artist's first holiday duets album (and first duets album since 1991's Better Together) and finds the singer sharing the Yuletide spirit with a number of special guest artists including Susan Boyle ("Do You Hear What I Hear"), Jim Brickman ("Sending You a Little Christmas"), Natalie Cole ("Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"), Gloria Estefan ("Mary's Boy Child"), Vince Gill and Amy Grant ("I'll Be Home for Christmas"/"White Christmas"), Billy Joel ("The Christmas Song"), and The Jordanaires ("Home For The Holidays").
Sending You A Little Christmas is the artist's sixth album of newly recorded seasonal sounds since Merry Christmas, his 1958 perennial, established Mathis as a warm and familiar holiday presence on home and car radios around the world. Few recording artists are more associated with the sound and spirit of the Christmas season than Johnny Mathis. On Sending You A Little Christmas, Mathis lends his incomparable vocal stylings to a rich selection of Christmas standards and future yuletide classics.
Sending You A Little Christmas was produced by Fred Mollin, who first collaborated with Johnny on 2010's Grammy Award nominated Let It Be Me: Mathis In Nashville.
Johnny Mathis' million-selling previous holiday albums have included Merry Christmas (1958), The Sounds of Christmas (1963), Give Me Your Love For Christmas (1969), Johnny Mathis For Christmas (1984), and Christmas Eve With Johnny Mathis (1986).

Signed to Columbia Records in the mid-1950's, Johnny Mathis is the longest-running artist on the label. A sublime vocalist whose approach to pop music transcends passing fads and trends, Johnny Mathis has performed songs in an incredible variety of styles and categories -- from music composed for stage and film to golden era jazz standards, contemporary pop hits, and holiday music both sacred and secular -- assuring his reputation as one of the most enduring traditional pop vocalists in music history.
Perhaps best-known for his landmark singles (three of his recordings--"Chances Are," "It's Not For Me To Say," and "Misty"--have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame) Mathis was one of the very first musical artists to embrace the album concept and record fully-realized thematically and sonically coherent collections of songs. His 1958 release, Johnny's Greatest Hits inaugurated the ongoing "greatest hits" anthology phenomenon becoming one of the most popular albums of all time after spending an unprecedented 490 continuous weeks (almost ten years) on the BILLBOARD Top Albums Chart. Johnny Mathis was given the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in 2003.

Study: Vegetarians live longer
Posted at: 01/31/2013 6:41 AM
Cutting meat from your diet could extend your life. A new study from the University of Oxford finds vegetarians live longer than people who eat meat or fish.
Researchers followed 45,000 adults for nearly 20 years. They found vegetarians had a 30-percent lower risk for heart disease. They say vegetarians had lower blood pressure and cholesterol than those who ate meat, which could be contributing to their reduced risk for heart problems.

I would certainly look into other services if staying nearby or spending a longer time at the beach.

About two-thirds of the way into an Ohio State scrimmage yesterday, Buckeye mascot Brutus got the chance to run a couple of plays at quarterback. Because it will never not be funny to watch violence against mascots with comically over-sized heads, linebacker David Perkins made a beeline for Brutus, who was running a sweep off a shotgun snap on the left side of the line.
"It was see ball, hit ball," Perkins explained. "It was just a little joke. It was just part of the day. … Having the people out here, it gets us closer with our fans so they can see how it is, and so we can feel the energy from them just like we do on game day."
Brutus had no comment, as usual.
I've got nothing more to add, or than that he looks to be in a daze after the hit. And that this is ridiculously funny.

MBA Coaching
Admissions to a top MBA programme is very selective. Applicants' profiles are evaluated through an application and an interview. The items that make up an application can be divided into two categories.
Most of your hard skills can't be changed. Only the test scores can be increased. Your GMAT and TOEFL scores are usually higher correlated to your academic and professional background and your international exposure. However, there is still potential to improve your soft skills.
Soft Skills
- Motivation
- Personal and professinal project
- Personality
- Extracurricular activities
Hard Skills
- Academic background
- Professional background
- GMAT and TOEFL scores
- International exposure
Prepare your GMAT
ACCESS MBA has selected several partners around the world that are familiar with the admission process and that are able to build your profile according to the admissions officer's expectations:

WTJU Programming Committee
WTJU established a Programming Committee in the Spring of 2011. The Programming Committee is a consulting committee that applies its expertise and skills to discussions about WTJU programming. The General Manager gives full consideration to the Committee's recommendations.
- The Programming Committee shares program evaluation authority with the GM. They work together to carry out evaluations and to recommend action steps for particular programs.
- The Programming Committee shares program grid evaluation authority with the GM. The PC can propose and recommend grid changes to the GM, who accepts or declines for good cause such recommendations.
Purpose & Membership
The Programming Committee works toward three purposes:
- Evaluate existing programs on a regular basis for quality and mission fulfillment, suggesting program improvement goals and resources as needed
- Review, evaluate, and critique program grid on a regular basis, recommending changes and new programming when necessary
- Evaluate other elements of on-air programming (e.g. calendars, PSAs, underwriting, etc.) for quality, station identity, and mission fulfillment
Meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month, 6:00-7:30pm in the Lambeth Commons 1st floor meeting room and are open to the public.

Timothy Haydock, an emergency room physician and Kennedy family friend, took the stand Thursday in the trial of the son of the late Robert F. Kennedy.
His stare stayed with them for days.The cold, harsh way he looked at them. The unease they just couldn't shake off when he did. So, when Austin Reed Sigg was arrested Tuesday night, accused of strangling 10 -year-old Jessica Ridgeway, dismembering her and placing her body parts under the two-story home where he lived, many of the girls in that Denver suburb weren't shocked.
A toxic cloud that formed after 300 gallons of hydrochloric acid leaked at a southeast Texas storage facility sent nine people to the hospital and forced thousands of residents indoors, an emergency management official said Thursday.
National Geographic has made its mark by bringing the world -- in all its grandeur, beauty and horror -- into people's living rooms.
Two cousins have been convicted of kidnapping a gay man in Kentucky, but the Justice Department failed in the same case to win a guilty verdict in the first test of an expanded hate crimes provision covering sexual orientation.
Police drones circling overhead, ready to help search for lost children, rescue stranded boaters, and capture criminals.
The Air Force wants to rebuild a "fence" around Earth to keep out the riffraff. Sounds like a Hollywood script to counter aliens or asteroids but it's a real program the military wants to update at an estimated cost of $3.5 billion.
Statue of Liberty is set to reopen Sunday after a year of renovations intended to make the iconic 19th-century gift from France easier to navigate and more accessible to visitors with disabilities.
The presence of international monitors observing next week's presidential and Congressional election has caused a firestorm among voter ID law supporters and, particularly, the Texas attorney general.
President Barack Obama made a brief stop in Chicago Thursday to cast his presidential ballot, 12 days ahead of Election Day.
It's simple, President Obama said. Rape is a crime, and politicians -- especially male politicians -- shouldn't be "making decisions about women's health care."
Mitt Romney running mate Paul Ryan likened President Barack Obama's 19-page second-term plan to a brochure at a Virginia rally and called it a "slick repackaging of more of the same" at a Virginia rally.

Lil Wayne in Air Jordan XI "Bred"
December 6th, 2012 by Brendan Dunne | 26 comments
Okay, hello it's the Martian, Space Jam Bred Jordans. Any chance Lil Wayne will be resurrecting that line to celebrate this year's release of the Air Jordan XI 'Bred'? He definitely has his hands on the sneakers already, showing support for his friend Skylar Diggins last night at the Notre Dame/Baylor womens basketball game while rocking the upcoming Air Jordan XI. Click through with us to check out Weezy in his Breds (his YMCMB confidants are looking laced as well) and let us know if you approve of this rather normal looking Lil Wayne outfit.

For the first time he looks like he didn't go into a Halloween costume store and pick up random things. Those 5's though... Good God.
@StephenDensmore . Yeah it is a stupid article lol. Hope you didnt take my comment offensively. I pretty much did what you did as far as opinions go.
Weezy on the prowl for Diggins to be his next BM. you know he likes em light-skinned.
If you dont give a shit then why would you even dare to write a comment....just sayin. Very interesting.
So this is what he does when he isn't kissing bird man in the mouth....prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
@vphili - Because this stupid article was on my Twitter feed, and I felt the need to express my opinion.

text: If you are looking for a compact router for master control bypass, off-site studios, flypack or post, have a look at the new router from Ensemble Designs. Three things make it different from other routers. 1) New high res LCD display lets you see every SDI source on the router. Look before you take. 2) Configure exactly the matrix size you want, from 8×2 to 28×2, or any size in between. Need a 12×5 or 20×10? New technology lets you decide which BNCs are inputs and outputs. 3) The optional clean switch is a full frame sync which makes it perfect for cuts only, flypacks and master control bypass. Use all asynchronous sources and rely on the clean switch for mobile broadcast applications. Use SD, HD, 3G, and ASI sources all in the same router. Cindy Zuelsdorf explains why this router just might be perfect for your next project or upgrade.

Currently I'm working on a project together with 1 co-founder and soon we are going to incorporate a company. We agreed that I get 70% shares and he gets 30% . The reason is because I started the whole project, initial research and came out with the first product prototype.
My questions:
We need to come out with the initial capital, $10,000. Should co-founders contribute cash based on the share percentage ($7000 & $3000) or split it equally ($5000 & $5000)? What's the common practice?
My co-founder shares are vesting over 3 years. As the co-founder that started this, am I subject to vesting as well?
Since my co-founder first year shares are 10%, how much will he get for the first year profit? 10% or 30%?
Thank you!

Last week, October 2012 sugar futures opened at 20.25¢ per lb. and closed at 19.58¢. More impressive is sugar's downward trend in August, as it opened at 22.59¢. Looking at the daily chart you can see sugar taking off from 19.50¢ mid-June, hitting the high of 24¢ in mid-July and landing once again at 19.50¢ this past Friday. A nice ride up and down if you caught it.
The technicals on the daily chart show sugar in a very strong trend down with ADX at 55. As you can see the last time ADX was at 55 it highlighted a very strong trend up a little over one month ago. MACD is bearish being below the signal line and the zero on the histogram line. Over the past eight trading sessions we do see MACD dropping divergence and Stochastics are in deep oversold territory, entering there on Aug. 6. The red lines on the daily chart are showing where the TS Analyzer at Trends in Futures highlight trade set-ups that we go over in daily updates and videos.
Proceed to Page 2 for the latest COT Data...
On the weekly chart you can see sugar's flight path over the past couple of months. You also can see how the drop in sugar prices was supported by big money liquidation by looking at the COT Disaggregated Report. The drop never would have been as smooth without these actions by big money that continued into last week. This past week we saw Producers go from -238,446 contracts net short to -212,038. Managed Money went from 98,297 contracts net long to 75,050 and Swap Dealers went from 133,669 contracts net long to 140,442.
So will sugar head below $19.50 or take off once again? Reading the COT will help answer this.
If you need help understanding how to understand how to use the NEW COT report to your benefit get instant access to my new e-book "What Lies Beneath ALL Trends". It is filled with eye opening information.Commercial Net Tracker instructions: This form tracks the Commitment of Traders (COT) data for the commodity futures market. This form "looks" at the most recent five weeks of COT data and provides visual indications of the data. A) If the current value is at a 12-month low, the cell will display a red/burgundy background. B) If the current value is at a 12-month high, the cell will display a green background. C) If the current value went from net negative to net positive, the cell will display a blue background (indicating a bullish condition). D) If the current value is both a 12-month high and also went from a net negative to a net positive, the background will be green. You should view the data with green backgrounds to determine if they also went from net negative to net positive.
Proceed to Page 3 for this week's detailed fundementals...
Have a prosperous trading week.

We're running a seminar in London, in partnership with Oxford Computer Group, on 12th June. It's an opportunity to learn about solutions for identity and access management, messaging, collaboration, and how you can enhance existing technology investments.
During the day we'll provide an overview of Microsoft's Live@edu services and how these can easily be integrated with your existing infrastructure using Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM) 2007. We will then demonstrate how to use this platform for identity and access management, showing how to implement a rich identity lifecycle management solution that works with Live@edu and your existing in-house systems.
When and Where?
12 June 2008 - Microsoft London, 100 Victoria Street, London, SW1E 5JL
To register for this free seminar please email Simon Farrell, email@example.com, with your details, including a telephone number.
Tribal's ebs, a web-based student record and management system, is capable of managing the entire student lifecycle, from course marketing to examinations and timetables. And it's currently used by more than 150 learning providers. You might be familiar with ebs, and some of the other systems that are there to help manage student records in colleges. But do you know how they are created?
But the case study also makes an interesting insight into Tribal's relationship with their customers, and the way that benefited Sussex Downs College, one of them.
Tracey Adams, Management Information Officer at Sussex Downs College, says in the case study:
EBS worked well as the basis of our management information system. But when we heard that Tribal was planning to upgrade the timetabling component, we were able to get involved at the early stages of development as part of its early adopter programme. It was very useful to have the ear of the developers during this process and to be able to make suggestions as the product was being developed. We could tell them how the product was being used and what might be the requirements.
And as a result, the resulting upgrade to ebs meant that:
You can read more about the project on our worldwide case studies website
You can't have failed to miss the offer we've been running for students and staff who have an email address that ends in .ac.uk – Office Ultimate 2007 for £38.95 – on www.theultimatesteal.co.uk
But you may have missed the looming deadline – it closes on Wednesday night next week – so there are just five days to go
We've seen a rush of people mentioning it on blogs and forums suddenly, because it appears many students still haven't heard of the offer. And we've also seen a burst of traffic from universities which have just announced the offer for the first time to their students. Is this something that you want to tell your students and staff about?
If you do want to tell your students & staff , then this post gives you some words & images.
Of the universities that have promoted it to their students (including Bristol – Kent – Stirling – Queens University Belfast Salford – QMU Edinburgh – Bradford – Middlesex – Loughborough) my favourite two are:

The market for ultra-low-cost laptops is continuing to move forwards. At the point when the Asus EeePC/Asus RM miniBook were released, it created a buzz in education. Basically it was easy to see how it would be possible to imagine that every student could have a device, which is cheap, light and small enough for them to have available all of the time.
Over time in the UK, we've seen the ratio between students and computers improve. Although, in colleges the latest Becta reports said that the numbers are going the wrong way - according to 2005/6 FERL/Becta Survey there are 4.5 students per computer, down from 4.1 students per computer in 2002. In most colleges this has been through adding more fixed computers - ie take the students to the computers, not the reverse.
When you've got a laptop that costs less than £250, suddenly it seems possible to make a huge leap - to providing a laptop for every full-time student, and through that changing the delivery model of resources. But the first miniBook release was only the thin end of the wedge. What's happened since then?
RM miniBook
The miniBook is a small format, 0.9KG laptop with a 7" 800x480 screen, with a battery life of 2-3 hours. RM launched the first Windows XP version of the RM miniBook/Asus EeePC in January (with a higher specification - 8Gb storage and 1Gb RAM - and a higher price - £269). Last month they launched the lower-cost Windows XP miniBook, at £225 (with 4GB solid-state hard drive, and 512MB of RAM). Read the specifications and other details here

HP 2133 miniNote from RM
RM have now launched the HP 2133 miniNote, a higher specification notebook, running Windows XP Pro/Windows Vista Business, with a 8.9" screen running at 1280x768 and weighing in at 1.3Kg (1.5Kg with a 4 hour battery), which costs £385.
Intel's new Atom processor
At the Intel Developer Forum, in Shanghai, there was a lot of focus on the new Atom processor, a new chip that helps to reduce power consumption, and is a building block for low-cost, ultra-portable devices. There were some new designs on display there - one from MSI got a lot of coverage (see right), because it was claimed to have a 6-hour battery life and a 10-inch screen.
And there's more coming...
It's clear that we're still in the early days of lower cost, more portable laptops, and we'll see more product launches over the next few months. In fact, by the time we get to the summer holidays, the choice for laptops for individual students is going to be even bigger. So now's the time to be thinking about your strategy for the future, and considering how that will allow you to take your college provision forward.
So what does this all mean?
In the past, it's been unlikely that the majority of colleges would be able to, or want to, give a laptop to every one of their students. It wasn't just because of cost, but also because of size and weight, as well as battery life. The new laptops are reducing size and weight, and some are even addressing the battery life issue.
I think by this time next year, it will be possible to have a strategy of reducing the number of PCs fixed to desks, and rapidly getting to a 1:1 PC:Student ratio. And if you can do that, how would it change your learning model? And what contribution could that make to achievement by your students?
Colleges are having to adapt to changes in the way workforce training is funded by the Govern ment, to ensure that they get certified in the Training Quality Standard (TQS) . The TQS will have a major impact on colleges, as you could be in direct competition for funding with private sector training organisations, with funding decided by how well you are perceived to serve the employer community.
To achieve TQS certification, colleges you have to prove that you're responsive, high-quality providers, responding to employers within set time frames and keeping accurate records of all interactions with them. One way that this can easily be achieved is with a robust Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system in place. To help you with your planning for this, we're running a seminar in partnership with Morse and Barnfield College at our office in Reading on 21st May.
Barnfield College is a remarkable sucess story. Rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted, it is one of the best performing colleges in the UK in terms of its students' achievements. Teresa Frith, Director of Business Development at Barnfield College, will be presenting at the seminar, sharing how they have used CRM to help with their employer relationship management.
At the AOC Conference this week, there's been a lot of talk about changes needed to meet the continually rising expectations of students - and so the work that Barnfield have done with their CRM for student relationship management will be interesting too.
Even better, we've packed it all in to an that agenda runs from 11:30-3:3, so you've got time to get to here and away without ruining your home life!
The seminar's free, it's on Wednesday 21st May 2008 at the Microsoft Campus in Reading and you can register now at www.morse.com/fe
I'll see you there (yes, I'm on the agenda too - but don't let that put you off!)
As promised to the delegates, here are the presentation resources from my session at the AOC Annual Technology Conference. (AOC is the Association of Colleges, and their IT conference is a way for people to focus specifically on the way that IT can be used to support learning in colleges). My story, entitled "Digital Inclusion - engage, exploit and evolve", looks at the changes we're seeing in technology and workstyles outside of education, the way that students are using technology, and what the major strategic issues are for FE colleges (as relayed to us via college principals).
You can see the Microsoft Surface released videos on the Surface website
Finally, you can download the excellent video of the US students below. The version I used is an edited version of the original, which I'd twinned up with KT Tunstall's "Suddenly I see". The download below is sound-track-less, so it's time to hone your Movie Maker skills!
The video is from the Digital Ethnography project at Kansas State University, and the full video is on their web site. If you liked it, the other video they produced which I'd recommend is their (more technical) Web 2.0 video "The Machine is Us/ing us".
The presentation is slightly different from the one I'd planned to deliver (because two of the parts I'd planned were used by other speakers earlier in the day - Shift Happens and the BSF Showcase Video, which is on the right of this webpage)
I've been at the AOC Annual Technology Conference for the last two days, which is themed "Digital Natives, Digital Spaces". I was speaking on the first afternoon, and my sense of relaxation disappeared in the first 5 minutes of the conference, as it opened with my Shift Happens video presentation. Aargh - I'd planned to use it to open my session, so I had to spend an hour re-working my presentation for later. The Shift Happens UK version (based on an American presentation) strikes a chord with so many audiences, that I'm now getting an email every day from somebody I've never heard from, or spoken to, asking for more information about it. I've only shown it 8 or 9 times in the last year, but it is amazing how today's viral environment means that so many people both inside and outside of education have seen it, or used it themselves. When I finished the UK version, I popped it onto the blog and made a download available in PowerPoint and video format. It then took on a life of its own - somebody posted it onto You Tube, and it continues to progress outwards.
If you want to download the Shift Happens video, and the UK PowerPoint version, take a look at the all resources on on this blog post, as well as reading more about how it came to be!
Then I had to do another, milder, amendment, when another of the speakers used the Microsoft video of the BSF Showcase software, which I'd planned to include too!
The good aspect of all of this is that there's a resonance between what we're thinking (and saying), and others. The downside is that I need to create more presentation resources, some of which can be used by others - but I'd better keep one of them secret, so at least I can be sure I don't get this panic too often!
The Windows Server launch team have made available the video of the Cambridge University team, who are using modern database technologies to solve a centuries-old data analysis problem. If you're into databases, and their uses, then this is a good video to watch now. But if you're like me, and the mysteries of SQL elude you, then watch it over a cup of tea this afternoon - you might walk away thinking about a data set you've had foa while, but hadn't realised you could analyse in a visual way.
Find out some more about the project in this earlier blog post.
A higher quality version of this video is on the right hand side of this web page
Over the last three months we've invited people to submit their designs for computer systems that demonstrate creativity as well as tackling real social, human interest problems experienced by charities large and small: such as contributing to the battle to reduce carbon emissions; bringing conservation closer to the people that use technology; opening channels of communication for abused and vulnerable children and identifying new opportunities for disabled people. We've reduced the entries down to five finalists - all of whom are addressing real issues in an innovative way. Everything from "The Lean Green Wind-Powered IT Machine" to St Basils "Virtual Rucksack" for supporting homeless young people.
Now it's your chance to vote to turn one of these into reality - take a look at all of the entries, and cast your vote by the end of Friday.
You can see the short listed entries and vote for your favourite here
The winner will work with a team of technical architects to turn their idea into reality. Of course, they are all worthy winners. I don't want to influence your vote at all, but did I mention St Basils work specifically with homeless young people aged 16-25?

A CAT scan of the head (also called a head CT) is a painless test that uses a special X-ray machine to take pictures of a patient's brain, skull, and sinuses, as well as blood vessels in the head.
The doughnut-shaped machine circles the head, taking pictures to provide cross-sections of the brain from various angles. These pictures are sent to a computer that records the images. It also can put them together to form three-dimensional images.
A radiology technician performs the CAT scan (also called a CT scan or a computed axial tomography scan).
A head CAT scan may be done in order to:
Your child may be asked to remove all clothing and accessories and change into a hospital gown because buttons, zippers, clasps, or jewelry may interfere with the image.
Your child may have to avoid eating and drinking anything for a few hours before the scan so the stomach will be empty. Fasting is required if your child has to be sedated or needs to receive a contrast solution, which highlights certain parts of the body so doctors can see more detail in specific areas of the brain.
If your daughter is pregnant, it's important to tell her technician or doctor because there's a small chance that the radiation from the CAT scan may harm the developing baby. But if the CAT scan is necessary, precautions can be taken to protect the baby.
The scan itself generally takes less than 10 minutes. Total time depends on the age of the child, whether contrast solution is given, and whether sedation is needed. Actual exposure time to radiation is much less.
Your child will enter a special room and lie down on his or her back on a table. A pillow and sometimes a soft brace holds the head and neck in place to prevent movement that would result in a blurry image.
If contrast solution is required for the CAT scan, it will be given in the radiology area through an IV (intravenous) line placed in your child's hand or arm. Placing the IV will feel like a quick pinprick, and the solution is painless as it goes into the vein.
Sedation may occasionally be required if your child can't lie still for the scan. Sedation medicines are given through an IV line and help to keep a child comfortable during the CAT scan. Since the scan is brief, other soothing methods are often attempted first.
The technician will position your child, then step behind a wall or into an adjoining room to operate the machine, viewing your child through a window. The technician will speak to your child through an intercom. You'll be able to stay in the CAT scan room with your child until the test begins and possibly during the test. If you leave the CAT scan room, you'll join the technician in the outer room or you might be asked to sit in a waiting room. If you stay with the technician or in the CAT scan room, you'll be asked to wear a lead apron to protect certain parts of your body.
When the procedure starts, the table moves through the CAT machine. Older children may be asked to hold their breath for a few seconds at a time to prevent blurring of the image.
Your child won't feel anything as the CAT scan is taken, but may hear whirring and buzzing as the machine works. The room may feel cool due to air conditioning used to maintain the equipment. Some children may feel uncomfortable lying still for extended periods.
After the scan is complete, your child will be asked to wait a few minutes so the technician can review the quality of the images. If they're blurred, parts of the CAT scan may need to be redone. If your child required sedation, it will take a little while for the medicine to wear off.
The CAT scan images will be looked at by a radiologist (a doctor specially trained in reading and interpreting X-ray images). The radiologist will send a report to your doctor, who will discuss the results with you and explain what they mean.
Results are usually ready in 1-2 days. If the CAT scan was done on an emergency basis, the results can be made available quickly. In most cases, results can't be given directly to the patient or family at the time of the test.
In general, CAT scans are very safe, although more radiation is required than in a regular X-ray. Any exposure to radiation poses some risk to the body, but the amount used in an individual CAT scan isn't considered dangerous. It's important to know that radiologists use the minimum amount of radiation required to get the best results.
If your daughter is pregnant, there's a risk of harm to the developing baby, so precautions must be taken.
Contrast solutions are generally safe, with a very low incidence of allergic reactions. Talk with your doctor if you have any concerns about a possible allergy. Make sure to tell your doctor about any medication, dye, and food allergies that your child may have. Some patients who are at risk for allergic reaction to the contrast solution may need medications like antihistamines or steroids to minimize the risk of adverse reaction.
If your child requires sedation, there's a slight chance of slowed breathing due to the medications. If there are any problems with the sedation, the CAT scan staff is prepared to treat them right away.
You can help your child prepare for a CAT scan by explaining the test in simple terms before the procedure. You can describe the room and the equipment that will be used, and reassure your child that you'll be close by. For older kids, be sure to explain the importance of keeping still so the scan can be completed quickly and parts of it don't have to be repeated.
If you have questions about why the head CAT scan is needed, speak with your doctor. You also can talk to the CAT scan technician before the procedure.

Washington, DC Wednesday, April 4, 2012
The Brookings Institution hosted a discussion on a bill signed into law in February that opens U.S. Airspace for unmanned aircraft, or drones.
The discussion focused on the privacy, safety and national security implications of unmanned aircraft, including how local law enforcement might use the drones, how to ensure safety in the crowded U.S. airspace and how to prevent use of the aircraft by domestic and international terrorists.
The Panel consisted of Kenneth Anderson, Professor of Law at the Washington College of Law at American University; Catherine Crump, Staff Attorney for the Speech, Privacy & Technology Project of the ACLU; Paul Rosenzweig, a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation; and John Villasenor, Professor of Electrical Engineering at UCLA.

As we inch closer to the R700 release, which previews prove to have dethroned the GeForce GTX 280 convincingly, taking the crown for the fastest graphics card there is, NordicHardware reports AMD could be giving 'final-touches' to a fresh-wave of GPUs for early 2009. The timing is a critical factor here as that's the time-range the proposed NVIDIA G300 carrying 384 SP's and 512bit GDDR5 memory bus is marked for. The R800 cards could carry 2,000 stream processors, with its unit processors the RV870 holding 1,000 stream processors each. They could enter the realm of either 40nm or 45nm fabrication process. Source: Nordichardware
Sounds good. Wasn't there some rumours that AMD(ATI) was skipping 45nm and going straight for 40nm? Either way IMO just increasing the amoung of stream processors to 1000 isn't enough to compete with G300 (GT200 doesn't exist it's G200, look @ the chips - why do ppl call it GT200?) without further optimization. Any info about if it's based on R600 or some new design? thanks
Maybe just 200+ streams but a die shrink to 45 or 40nm is definitely a clock speed increase to the 1Ghz barrier maybe 1,2Ghz or even 1,5Mach
I wouldn't put anything past AMD at this point but the overkill factor is definitely starting rear up in huge numbers.
i think the 40nm cards will be like wat happened with die shrink of HD2xxx series and producing Hd3xxx series . I dont think there will be much performance improvement, power requirements may be reduced. WHat is interesting to see is the GPU's moving to a smaller fabrication process than CPU's .
I am quite surprised that GPUs are moving this fast. I wonder if we will see much improvement on heat production with smaller GPU. (vs 55nm, probably not much?)
I think this architecture is really suffiecient, and addding more rops and giving more shaders and clockiing it past 1ghz should give it a great boost probably another 80-90% considering shader increase and clock increase. but I think ati will go for more shaders than clock increase as that will be better off for future games, I love the effeciency of the current design and only refining it would make sense. And nvidia has some serious work to do, they can't have a giant chips with all them rops and tmu's that are bearly effecient for the numbers they represent.
IMO, I think this might be a viable route for them . . . hell, the R700s were hinted at having seperate clocks long before we saw the actual specs . . . either way, though, it's looking like ATI won't be holding back on the green-camp beat down next series.
I wish they would do that, but knowing AMD, they'll try to squeeze every last SP they can in there. The R800 will be on a level we can just dream about now & the RV870 will be the next single GPU king. They won't just shrink it, they'll stuff it. I don't mind it but just how many SPs can they fit on one die
Was there much of a performance increase gleaned from the die shrink,going from hd2xxx to hd3xxx? Whatever the specs of the r800,its good to see whats coming,even if its not written in silicon yet
There was an immense improvement to power consumption while performance remained the same. Something like a 100W drop at load from R600 while the architecture remained mostly the same. Powerplay brought idle down even further. It allowed them to create 3870X2. ATI also saves lots of money on the cost of each GPU, complexity of the board and its cooling apparatus. Experience with 55nm RV670 undoubtedly helped with development of RV770.
200+ but Only 200 stream processor more in one kernel. But how many kernel in one card or chip. Maybe 3x or 4x
i hope they bring some CPUs to go along with those monster GPUs that should bring Nvidia+Intel to their knees....
We'll see. I remember reading somewhere that ATI was going to head towards at Tick/Tock strategy similar to that of Intel. If that's the case, it will be more like HD2xxx to HD3xxx, some performance increase, smaller thermal envelope and less power draw.
I've heard similar as well . . . but we can't really call Intel's strategy tick/tock anymore . . . they've gone over to full-blown hop scotch.

Why we're cherish -- why me news that adults aged eighteen to thirty are stressing out more than any other generation and we've got he's -- crowd or who says.
You know what they've got planning it'd be stressed about he's here to break it just didn't.
I think people just been a bunch of -- if -- any generation picnic the same case when he -- Well I mean I think this is an issue obviously that -- require some sensitivity and after careful consideration looking at what morning you'll think what they're facing.
And that they seem to be stressed the answer at the end of the day at the -- approaches.
Gap they were talk about an entire generation of people that -- raised its self absorbed narcissistic people been told what they're brilliant but they're special that everybody -- them to look at themselves for the answer immediate gratification as opposed to withstand another for others first delay gratification at least eight entire generation of people.
Will vote for things like free cell phones and birth control over something long term like a financially solvent Social Security or health care system.
So -- They give an example.
These people you can have an entire generation millennial look at you could have an hour.
Actual person from this generation my generation who has been raised playing the race soccer team that has never scored a goal yet never lost the game.
Never written a grammatically correct SA yet never having been corrected with a red -- never having learned how to speak to -- two adults and authority.
It never having had their -- their -- absolutely tend.
As a result that -- seven these people.
Out into the real world and we're surprised that they find themselves stressed and other news water is wet and -- -- had work done.
CNN here's a deal I mean -- -- what you're talking about -- -- everybody gets a trophy.
Generation no matter what they've.
Don I mean that was a one joke out there PSAs something -- they are they do have a lot of tuition debt let's face of these colleges are acting like fat cat.
Donald Trump academics you know what I mean with their fact -- tuition costs.
And they administrative bloated so -- -- -- sympathy on that front with the the tuition costs at these individuals face.
Well plus plus one breeding fat cat and associating with that would tuition -- you know I don't have a huge amount of simply because these kids going to that's assuming that well of course obviously my degree is going to get me a job in the workplace.
You're talking about a generation of people that never been a generation -- had so many tools at their disposal to make life better yet have been so ungrateful tools to make them.
More productive more efficient.
More learned.
More communicative instead they decide to use these tools and spend -- on leave here and frivolity and Angry Birds that destroy a little green pigs -- -- game -- could have only been created through hard -- -- and Idenix.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- These kids my peers are gonna be building your planes -- roads running your government think about that.
For a second and Mike -- I don't know I think about how this tidbit you know I didn't I did was not given a credit current college I mean haekkerup with a black rotary phone in my.
Sounds I mean outcome of that generation but it isn't -- well what you're saying is you know these kids got credit cards and yet at their colleges.
They did get cars it did it all sorts of things what stories you're hearing.
About these individuals that you called -- in the workplace when -- -- city human resource is try to get a job.
And then they're turned down what is there reaction up.
Well -- -- -- -- turn narcissism could be offensive to some for you could use the term -- if you prefer that at the big problem here.
Is that these people haven't even have the discussion.
-- have regarding the legitimacy of these entitlements in the first place you're talking about an entire generation of people again who who who would never even asked the question.
Well but now of course that the that the government's job of riding with free -- -- but.
Of course of the government's job to get your cell phone and subsidize my my promiscuous bedroom shenanigans and so the same people feel entitled to credit cards and -- and once they get that degree.
They feel entitled to a job in the -- place once the real world slapped him in the face a little bit it's okay.
You're not that special you're not back great you're gonna have to earn your keep.
You're gonna have to burn your worth they're not used to -- -- doing these kids that this -- -- well that's what.
I don't wanna be a hard on people and I think everyone was.
Created and designed in a uniquely valuable way I note saying a word design is gonna get some people offended but it's okay to tell a kid you know what -- can really good at magic but when it comes to football.
-- -- So let's -- let's create a life path that appropriately congruent with your life skills instead we did say what we decide if they -- him a lot of the world you're superstar they'll love yet.
-- and and not ever at my view is going to be famous.
I love they just put a new twist on the term entitlement nation needs -- that means of security Medicare and Medicaid.
You talking about entitlement nation these young kids growing up with way high expectations and -- -- narcissus what you're saying right Steven.
Quick final thought.
Go ahead I think -- -- right yeah I think.
Yes I think -- -- right I appreciate that that's it we're we're raising a generation of people.
Who feel entitled because we've been told have been telling them as opposed to a -- others first as opposed to working hard but self esteem of the biggest priority in and of itself and that's the problem.
All right CNN crowd are comedian knows that to -- -- sir thank you so what's your time over the weekend.

text: Interesting. However, if defense sprays are used properly who cares? Only when abused like the UC Davis case is this an issue. Defense sprays are supposed to be seriously nasty stuff. My wife and daughters carry the nastiest stuff available. They will not abuse it, but I suppose an innocent could catch a whiff of it (most likely themselves). But that is a small potential hazard relative to the very real present hazard during an attack. Again, this is only concerning when authorities abuse their power, which is not a fault of the manufacturers of the sprays. If it were up to me cops like that would go to jail and we'd just shoot and kill rapists and thugs instead of spraying them. But I suppose I'm just an idealist.

Dr. Mirvis is the Editor-in-Chief of this journal and Professor of Radiology, Diagnostic Imaging Department, University of Maryland Medical Center, Baltimore, MD.
My colleagues and I recently designed a new reading room adjacent to the Emergency Department, and I am glad we added plenty of extra countertop space. While the original plan called for two sets of PACS monitors and a CT workstation, during the 8 months since opening the new room, several more reading stations have made an appearance. There are monitors for reading federal government studies, and another set for reading studies from a recently merged private hospital. Other areas of the department have monitors for the Veterans Hospital next door and three private offices in which we offer interpretation services. To accompany the new hardware supporting these activities, a new section has been created, a section of "community radiology."
The community radiology section consists of full- and part-time staff who commute to sites away from the University Hospital. However, to some degree, all staff are involved in reading specialty studies from outside the main department. Ultimately, the outside studies will all be interpreted from one site in the department to maintain a more efficient process in acquisition, interpretation, and timely reporting.
Certainly, over the past several years, our mission as a classic academic radiology department has evolved. Historically, the main effort, as with most academic departments, has been to provide excellence in clinical service and perform scientific investigations leading to peer-reviewed articles, grants, promotion up the academic ladder, and other recognized benefits of academic success. In the recent past another goal has been added to this classic mission: survival.
Traditionally, in most major cities, academic hospitals have cared for the sickest and most complex patients, many with little or no medical insurance. These patients often present with disease processes that are quite advanced due to lack of preventative and general healthcare, as well as poor living and working conditions. Such patients frequently require the most intensive care and complex treatment procedures to recover. While, local, state, and federal programs offer some financial help to compensate academic centers caring for such patients, the pot of money is shrinking, and other priorities (ie, infrastructure, a prescription drug benefit, education, rebuilding Iraq, etc.) are competing for fewer dollars.
Even during flush times, when healthcare dollars were more available to help academic centers handle their particular patient population, radiology program graduates could obtain a far more lucrative salary and benefit package from private practices, which usually care for better-insured patients and perform a lot of well-care imaging. Still, there were enough graduates interested in academic careers who were willing to accept the salary difference. Sometimes there was even competition for academic positions. In the past 5 to 10 years, far more positions in radiology have become available in the private and academic sectors than can be filled by the pool of radiologists in the United States. Under these conditions, private practices are competing aggressively to attract talented radiologists, or perhaps any radiologist. Thus, the salary and benefit offers have risen quickly. Academic centers cannot even come close to competing with this rising salary curve. Thus, fewer individuals are willing to accept the growing salary difference and opt for the academic career they might ultimately prefer. Others perceive that the "economic good times" in medicine are fading and want to get their share before it's too late. Still others note an increasing workload on academics in recent years, often at or above private- practice levels, and do not see any advantage to the academic path if there is no time to pursue the interests that attract one to academia in the first place.
Given these circumstances, it is prudent for academic centers to boost the bottom line, ie, to stay competitive at least among the academic candidates, if not those on the fence. It is unlikely that this revenue will be created from the traditional base of patient fees as professional reimbursements drop and the number of uninsured patients increases. Deans are struggling with cuts in state funding for education created by the recent and damaging recession, and they are not in a position to help. So, the only way to stay in the game is to be more efficient and seek new venues in which to provide service and, thus, more income. So the traditional academic radiology mission has been creeping, if not running, in a new direction.
Within the academic departments, many faculty members will begrudge the movement outside the boundaries of the medical center into the "real world" and the need to interpret studies outside their area of specialization. Others will go with the flow, understand the rationale, and strive to provide the best service they can to all parts of the department's more widespread operation. Even in the subspecialty areas, great cases can be found in every hospital. The community radiologist should be considered a full-class citizen of the academic department; after all, that radiologist could do essentially the same job elsewhere for a lot more income and may be bringing the most revenue to the department.
Finally, private practices in the community should not look upon the academic group with either anger or anxiety. The piece of the pie that changes hands will doubtfully be very large in most cases. Moreover, without the academic practice to train the radiologists of tomorrow, the private radiology practices would not exist, but would be composed of other nonradiologist specialists doing the same work. It is in the long-term interests of all radiology to keep academic centers strong and productive. Any revision in national healthcare policy must take into account the disparity in income between private and academic practice and move toward limiting that divide. Otherwise, many of our best potential researchers and teachers will never pursue the opportunity to do work that will benefit us all.

The weather is really starting to warm up, but it's not time to push all your jeans to the back of the closet yet! For this week's Outfit of the Week, I styled my lovely friend Kim with our new Flying Monkey skinnies in lavender.
Colored denim makes rocking skinnies in the summer months look a little fresher, especially with lighter hues like this lavender. Pairing the jeans with a white lace top makes the look super summery, and the Can't Stop Staring top from Solemio is ultra feminine with the open back, bustier detail and peplum flare. Since the main pieces are so light, the accessories really define the look. A Spring Time in Paris crossbody in white adds a ladylike touch, and a little bright colored jewelry really catches the eye- I picked a bright teal bangle and some earrings to match. And of course no outfit is complete without great shoes, so I added contrast with the Path wedge from Soda in black linen to finish the look.
Click the links below to add pieces from this outfit to your wardrobe, and let us know how you wear your skinnies over the summer!
