New Approaches for Transcanial Ultrasound Used for the Treatment of Brain Tumors and Targeted Drug Delivery
By Medimaging International staff writers

A study completed by a Finnish researcher provides new insights into the limitations and potential new directions for the future advancement of transcranial ultrasound therapy. Active research is ongoing in this field, which potentially can be applied to the treatment of brain tumors and targeted drug delivery.
The therapy modality has already been effectively applied to the treatment of neuropathic pain disorder and essential tremors. The benefits of transcranial ultrasound therapy include minimal invasiveness, because the treatment is delivered to the brain by transmitting ultrasound through the intact skull of the patient. The study focuses on two issues that may potentially restrict the applicability of transcranial ultrasound: skull-base heating and formation of standing-waves.
As the ultrasound beam encounters the skull bone, part of the beam's energy is transferred into the skull as heat. In the study, it was found that the heating of the skull-base during transcranial ultrasound therapy can result in hazardous temperature elevations when the sonications are performed close to the skull-base. Three new approaches were developed in this study to counteract this potentially hazardous phenomenon.
However, standing waves are formed in the ultrasound field when waves reflect from the surface of the skull bone. During transcranial ultrasound therapy, the ultrasound amplitude can reach higher levels than intended if these reflections are not taken into account during the initial treatment planning. The study, a project that came out of a PhD thesis by Aki Pulkkinen, MSc, from the University of Eastern Finland (Joensuu), revealed that the formation of standing waves is greatly reduced when specifically designed large-area ultrasound transducers are used.
The study also introduces a model to numerically simulate clinical patient treatments performed with transcranial ultrasound therapy. The predictions produced by the model were compared to observations done in clinical patient trials performed earlier. The predictions were found to be of sufficient accuracy for an initial treatment planning. However, more accurate characterization of the acoustical and thermal parameters involved in transcranial ultrasound therapy is nonetheless required.
The Ph.D. thesis by Aki Pulkkinen, MSc, entitled Simulation Methods in Transcranial Ultrasound Therapy, is available online (please see Related Links below).

Saugatuck attends and participates in a large number of vendor conferences around the globe and a Saugatuck analyst recently was present at a New York City conference hosted by a leading Infrastructure provider. During the festivities, we were astonished to hear that "With Docker all you really need is coders. It effectively eliminates the need for DevOps."
We should first say it was not Docker making that claim. We are certain that no one at the Cloud technology vendor, least of all Solomon Hykes, Docker's Founder & CTO, would make that claim. Nevertheless, Docker does change the way Digital Businesses will develop and deploy Cloud solutions. Hykes makes the analogy of the shipping container and how it has eased moving cargo from place to place.
One of the capabilities that organizations long have needed to ensure their investment in the Cloud is the easy migration of workloads. Docker solves this problem by providing a multi-language, agile, and cost-effective containerization solution. Furthermore, Docker delivers an open platform for developers and IT operations to build, ship, and run distributed applications, and enables the continuous delivery and integration of solution components.
On the other hand, Docker doesn't wash your windows, cut your grass or walk your dog. And, for the moment, it runs only on Linux. However, before long we expect to see Docker available for Windows and for Continue reading

Army Private Ordered to Stand Trial in Rape of Half-Sister
LOS ANGELES (KTLA) -- An army private who escaped from military custody for a week while awaiting extradition to California has been ordered to stand trial for the alleged rape of his 15-year-old half-sister.
Daniel Jay Brazelton, 20, escaped from military custody in Georgia on Feb. 11 while being transferred to civilian custody in connection with the L.A. County rape case, and eluded capture for one week.
He was captured on Feb. 22 at a motel in Daytona Beach, Fla, according to L.A. County sheriff's captain Michael Parker.
He now faces multiple felony charges, including forcible rape, attempted forcible oral copulation, unlawful sexual intercourse and dissuading a witness from reporting a crime.
The girl testified at a preliminary hearing that the alleged rape happened on at their aunt's home on New Year's Eve of 2009. She was 14 years old at the time.
She said Brazelton came into her bedroom and forced himself on her, muting her screams with a pillow. She also testified that Brazelton threatened her not to tell anyone.
The girl spoke out last month, saying that "the army needs to own up and fix what they are doing wrong in transporting a soldier arrested on a rape charge so that no other family has to go through the fear of their lives being taken by their irresponsibility."
In the press conference, her lawyer, Gloria Allred raised the question "Why did the United States Army never contact the victim herself to notify her and her family of the escape and explain what happened?"
The U.S. Army is currently conducting an investigation to determine how Brazelton escaped.
If convicted on all the charges, Brazelton faces 14 years in state prison.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

Here's a sick piece of math rock I made with my friend Mailbox's help (thanks Mailbox)…
E, G, A, B, C#, D, and a high E.
7 Notes… played over and over in a phrase that is 8 notes long means that every other time the pattern will start one note later. Then the rhythmic pattern of four dotted quarter notes followed by two regular quarter notes every 2 bars sets the pulse for which note will be highlighted by its corresponding color in the video. Can you figure out the pattern? Can you hear the colors?
low E=Red
G= Orange
A= Yellow
B= Green
C#= Blue
D= Indigo
high E= Violet

O Holy Night Lyrics - Celine Dion
O Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Til He appeared and the soul felt it's worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine!
O night when Christ was born
O night divine!
O night, O night divine!
And in His Name, all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise his holy name
Christ is the Lord
sponsored linksTheir name forever praise we
Noel, Noel, and
O night, O night Divine
Noel, Noel
O night, O night Divine
Noel, Noel
O night, O holy Night

When you built your IT infrastructure, did you go for the 'latest and greatest', or were you thinking about how to bring your business forward? Be honest. If you did choose the latest and greatest technology for its own sake, then you've probably acted the way many people do.
Technology in itself is not a bad thing, but before spending your hard-earned money it's worth doing some hard thinking about your business. What really drives your business? For, say, a food manufacturer it could be: customer tastes, access to retail outlets or the effects of the weather on the costs of raw materials. A steel producer selling to the construction industry might point to mineral costs, energy costs or interest rates to finance house purchases. A passenger airline might place emphasis on fuel costs, numbers of passengers and time required to turn around a machine between two flights. A neighborhood retail store would be interested in location, convenience and customer relations. In none of these cases is technology the number one concern.
The next step is to look at your facilities, processes, people, service agreements, etc. — without losing sight of your projected business outcome.
What does your current infrastructure look like? Does it help or hinder your employees from doing their job? Are they spending more time feeding the system than they are adding value to the company?
The third step is, again keeping your business goal in mind, to choose the right technology. This might be 'bare metal' where you purchase the various building blocks and integrate them yourself. Alternatively, you might choose a solution with all the components perfectly integrated. Or, you might choose a 'pay-as-you-go' cloud solution.
The key aspect to bear in mind is that each business is different. The best way to get the most out of your money is to look at how your business really works and what you want to achieve.
How do you go about purchasing technology? What problems have you come across?
At Fujitsu Forum we are introducing, together with the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, an "Intelligent Desk". Fraunhofer is Europe's largest application-oriented research organization with a strong focus on people's needs, e.g. health, security, communication, energy and the environment.
This Intelligent Desk acts as the front-end device for a wide range of End User Services and shows the latest technology used in ergonomic and efficient working. It covers state-of-the-art illumination concepts as well as current ergonomic furniture technology. The Intelligent Desk integrates Fujitsu's IT know-how and demonstrates our UC&C solutions live. You can see that the workplace of the future is almost cable-free. Touch functions and gesture control are also fully integrated together with digital import options for analog documents so that they can be processed further.
We invite all visitors to experience the future of workplaces first hand at the Democenter (Innovation area). We have prepared some interesting showcases, where we would like to invite you to join us on a journey to a Reshaped Workplace.
Further information about the "Intelligent Desk" and the cooperation with Fraunhofer can be found here
Dr. Joseph Reger, Chief Technology Officer, International Business, Fujitsu spoke about the main trends which will impact our lives and businesses.
What are the technology trends that are going to affect our lives and businesses in the next few years? Most people would talk about big data, social, mobile and cloud. Cloud is now maturing and needs to be integrated. Big Data is not mature. This year we will talk about the Internet of Things (IoT) and in the coming 2 or 3 years IoT will touch our lives and businesses.
The internet has lots of people and devices generating and consuming information. The IoT operates in exactly the same way as the internet but without the people, and with an IP address to exchange information.
Today the internet is dominated by 'things', people are not that important. The number of things today is estimated at 10 billion. The amount of data is rising exponentially. By 2020 there will be 50 billion devices on the internet and the market size will be huge. The IoT keeps generating things all the time. This ties strongly into Big Data and the Cloud. Everything will be a part of the internet. Everything can have an IP address, even a light bulb. The light bulb on the internet never sleeps — an internet light bulb is always on even when it's off.
If it has an address, and there are 7 or 8 billion light bulbs, then there is a problem. IPv4 can only provide 4.3 billion addresses which is not enough. IPv6 can provide us 340 trillion trillion trillion addresses. But how can you migrate?
If the migration is painful, customers need help. We have a stateless tunneling through the old internet as part of a solution which can share up to 65000 addresses from one IP v4.
On the IoT every device has its own proprietary protocol going through umpteen gateways. That's not good, because what we want is to control the light bulb from the smartphone. We need smart applications that handle the management of light bulbs. Once that happens everything becomes much easier. Machine 2 machine (M2M) protocols are not identical with the IoT but in the future they will be more and more standardized. Right now M2M is only a subset of the IoT, but in the future M2M will catch up and generate more and more data. Very big data.
This brings a lot security challenges. People can read all the light switching patterns in your house, but the really big danger comes from attacks. One vulnerability is replicated across billions of things. Now, all the light bulbs are an army attacking you.
Why would you want a light bulb? It requires zero installation and uses the same infrastructure as the rest of your house. It talks to the light bulbs in your house and checks their own status. If you walk into a home improvement store, you get a message on your smartphone telling you to buy some new bulbs.
Imagine an intelligent baby mat which sends you a warning if something is wrong. It has sensors monitoring the baby. Your toothbrush can have a sensor telling you how to brush properly, and if necessary it can book a dentist appointment. What is the right time to harvest farmland? What if your car automatically drives in an optimally efficient way? What if we have sensors at the bottom of the ocean telling us when the next tsunami is coming? What about smart medicine? They release the medicine where it's needed in the right amounts. What about energy saving in buildings? The big data analysis can be used to build a better world. The infrastructures of the analog world now merge with the IoT. There is no unplanned downtime and much higher efficiency. If we can shave off 1% inefficiency in the analog world we could save 15 trillion USD!
How do we find our way through this new IoT trend ? All the areas, people and processes are described in the Fujitsu Technology and Service Vision.
Glen Koskela
CTO End User Services and Devices
There are all sorts of connected devices. They enable transactions and generate information remotely. The smart devices will act as gateways. The smart devices behave as an IoT device themselves and everything will happen in a known and sensed context.
What opportunities does this create?
The sensors will know your mood and the light bulb will adjust to it. The medical pills effects can be studied to provide data about how to treat a disease. What is Fujitsu working on? A context aware desktop. You get the type of apps you need only for a given meeting, but when you come back to your desk you get all your normal apps back. So, it's all very context driven. In the exhibition reality we have an augmented reality walking stick.
Dr. Alex Bazin
CTO Application Services
We're focusing on all the data coming in. How can it be turned into useful information for people and businesses? Context aware apps really deliver the value. Customers generate vast amounts of data and Fujitsu can help them monetize that data, e.g. logistics companies offering traffic information. Right now, Fujitsu has:
- Mobile initiative: delivering quickly and cheaply apps with the data
- "Runmyprocess" allows you to connect different systems into a process that can deliver value to an end-user
- Healthcare: if you've got a chronic medical condition it's important to get useful medical data to the patient and doctor. Fujitsu's SPROUT application can monitor patients in their home and feed the information to the patient and the doctor.
Bernd Henning
CTO Platforms & Infrastructure Solutions
We're moving from an analog to a digital and connected world. We need a robust and efficient platform to help us in this change. We see the opportunity for easy and quick access to the data in a secure way. It's about using a predefined and available access which gives us quick access. Fujitsu has a lot of experience in this area.
We have a Fujitsu M2M cloud to deliver a flexible and scalable platform. We have an optimized version of SPATIOWL to deal with electromobility, which helps us get closed to a smart city. We're making towards a PaaS layer for the IoT.
Dieter Kasper
CTO Data Center Infrastructure
All the essential work happens in the data center. Data centers do not have to be reinvented and customers can start with IoT projects right away but the infrastructure does have to be updated. To improve hardware infrastructure, we will introduce a new Intel optical interconnect technology called Silicon Photonics. This will foster and intensify parallel technology and this will generate much more data.
Kozo Otsuka
Director of Technology Transfer
The following solutions are currently in laboratories, but Fujitsu is working on bringing them to the market.
How to build and keep trust in M2M communications?
The use of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) has become a standard.
The TrustCube® Concept established a trustful relationship for machines to communicate to each other and uses the TPM to establish how they communicate to each other.
What if the number of sensors in a network becomes very large?
Sensors need to communicate autonomously with each other. Such a network though needs to be robust. To ensure the robustness Fujitsu has developed WisReed and scales up to 10,000 nodes per gateway.
Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a human movement visualization system via cameras. It includes a person's identification without recording a person's personal detail and uses a 3D laser range sensor. It could be used in, say, retail or collision avoidance scenarios.
Fujitsu's Human Centric Intelligent Society is more than just the IoT.
The IoT is mankind's next step in the quest for efficiency and sustainability. The Human Centric Intelligent Society is the IoT done right, i.e. for the people.
How do Cloud Integration Services give value? The Cloud Integration Services platform is just below the megatrends of mobility, big data and social networking and underpins them all. Cloud integration is the key to getting through to underlying cloud technologies like PaaS or IaaS.
The value of cloud though does not come from single clouds, but from how different clouds can be used together. The integration of clouds is hence essentia,l but it must be done without compromising on quality of service and without losing control or increasing overheads.
The Fujitsu Cloud Integration Platform has 3 key services:
- Cloud management
- Cloud integration
- Cloud aggregation
These services can be offered to Fujitsu Cloud services, Cloud services from other providers or non-cloud systems. The platform can be delivered on or off-premise.
With single sign-on, users can logon to several cloud services at once.
Once you login in you have access to the resources, monitoring and operational management.
How does the IT department set up Cloud services for other users? With a few mouse clicks is the answer. The user sets up the parameters including, charging or technical parameters or licensing conditions. Within minutes, the cloud service is available in a service catalogue. The end user looks at the catalogue, chooses the service and selects a subscription conforming to the parameters set up by the IT department. The user agrees to the license terms and then the system provisions the services in minutes.
The Cloud services need to be monitored by the IT department. This is done from a single pane of glass. The IT department can view how the Cloud services are being used but the pane can also be used for software and infrastructure.
To enable the IT department to be proactive in finding out where there are problems, another pane of glass shows the critical items. The service desk also automatically generates tickets enabling the service desk to be more proactive.
How is the data being managed and protected? The Fujitsu Cloud Integration Platform lets you see the various servers, Cloud or non-Cloud ones, and you can simply select the operations you need to carry out, e.g. backup and restore, with a few clicks. You can also move workloads just as easily.
The Fujitsu Cloud Integration Platform also allows you to quickly set up processes. In, say, Salesforce, an account manager could set up a meeting with a customer. With the RunMyProcess functionality it pulls from Salesforce all the previous orders and meetings with the customer. After the meeting the order is placed and RunMyProcess links to SAP and the meeting details are updated back to Salesforce. The IT department can see what business activities are being done. The CIO can see which department is using what services by using the built-in reports, as well as by supplier.
The key benefits of the Fujitsu Cloud Integration Platform are:
- Ability to drive faster innovation
- It provides the IT department with a way to become a strategic service driver
- The business unit gets the cloud services they want, effectively and efficiently
- The CIO gets to support what the business wants and is also able to manage risk
- The CFO maximizes the return for the company
- The CEO gets the agility necessary to take the business forward
The Fujitsu Cloud Integration Platform will be available from the end of the first quarter of calendar year 2014. Alternatively, you can join the early adopter program before.
Come to the booth at Fujitsu Forum 2013!
What are the practical implications of the solutions offered by Fujitsu and partners?
At Fujitsu we're convinced that ICT centered on human beings can create a more prosperous future for society and business, the Human Centric Intelligent Society. Such a society has 3 dimensions:
- How can IT systems be designed and integrated to facilitate intelligent processes?
- How can business and society be empowered with information?
- How can people be enabled to innovate more to tackle the challenges in today's world?
40 years ago the Bavarian tax authorities started working with the precursor of BS2000. The tax processes running on BS2000 at the moment are being used in all 16 regional governments in Germany. As many tax offices want to focus on their tax business, we provide 24×7 hardware management and BS2000 managed services. The tax authorities are free to focus on collecting tax revenues.
Many customers require an IT infrastructure with a single comprehensive system management package. We therefore offer the Fujitsu Enterprise Server BS2000 SE. Instead of administering lots of different systems, customers can consolidate their systems and simplify their applications – whether they are on BS2000, Windows or Linux. By including Windows and Linux, we can take a further step towards e-government and get closer to the citizen.
65 million documents are stored by the Bundesagentur für Arbeit (Federal Employment Agency). A stack of paper 100 meters high is added every day. These documents have to be available for decades. Hence we use our SecDocs solution. SecDocs uses open standards and web services and can be customized to customer requirements.
Today we all have to face the challenges of globalization. How can companies achieve local proximity while meeting global standards? This is particularly difficult for SMEs with their more limited resources. If an SME starts producing abroad or in different time zones, this means that the IT has to be available 24×7 and it must be secure. Hence more SMEs choose to outsource IT services, application hosting and management, to mention a few. This shows how local proximity and global support can be achieved thanks to Fujitsu. The Bahlsen biscuit manufacturing company is such a company. They take care of producing the biscuits and we provide the necessary IT.
We need to provide customized solutions.
There is an increase in demand tailored to the needs of the customers. This is especially true in terms of the software. How can customized systems and reduced costs be achieved at the same time? We do this via the DeskView Load solution. Each end user receives fully personalized systems, thereby increasing productivity while decreasing costs.
Customizing and the short distance to our customers are made possible in the Augsburg plant. We're proud of our Fujitsu way and we guarantee that standards are adhered to. Hundreds of customizing projects are proof that our approach of producing in Germany is accepted by our customers.
While clients are becoming increasingly smaller, data volumes are getting bigger and bigger.
How can data be made more understandable? At the click of a button, and in real time. All of us want to obtain information as quickly as possible. Just think of things like parcel tracking. The German parcel service, DPD, successfully uses Big Data. DPD also transports bulky goods, making delivery planning very complex. In the past reporting was not possible. Now DPD can do reports and queries in no time and provide a reliable delivery schedule. Of course you need the necessary storage. That's why at Fujitsu Forum we're launching the Fujitsu ETERNUS DX S3 with a leading architecture that enables 90% utilization capacity.
Security is another key concern. Palm Secure is a leading-edge biometric authentication system based on venous patterns. It offers the highest level of accuracy on the market. Moreover, it is hygienic as no contact is required. There are two usage scenarios: for granting access and for identifying the person who wants access. You can use it to manage the lift in a block of flats or to access a data center. You can take out money from ATMs. More than 40 million people worldwide already use PalmSecure. The German Bundesbank, Vienna airport, Stuttgart airport, school canteens in the US, the Brazilian Bradesco bank – they all use PalmSecure.
How can we make SMEs ready for globalization?
How can we use big data?
How can we focus IT on the users?
Fujitsu is the right partner. We have a service and solution approach underpinned by a unique product portfolio together with our partners.

CHARLES TOWN – Weeks after previews of "Buckwild" led U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin to call the new reality show set in West Virginia "a travesty," viewers in the Mountain State and elsewhere had the chance to see for themselves the MTV spectacle.
[cleeng_content id="755233303" description="Read it now!" price="0.15" t="article"]We asked readers of the Spirit of Jefferson to share their thoughts on the series, which was filmed in Sissonville, a remote part of Kanawha County about 15 miles from Charleston. The program took over the 10 p.m. Thursday time slot occupied for six years by "Jersey Shore," which gave insight into the hookups and bar hops of a group of tanned New Jersey 20somethings.
Many Spirit readers told us they would not tune into "Buckwild." Others said they never watch the reality show genre at all. Of those who did tune in, here's a roundup of their thoughts:
Derick Dearing: "Train wreck."
Pat Mesich: "Gotta see what life is like on the mainland of West Virginia. Us panhandlers can take some pride in knowing this wasn't filmed here."
Jessica Kile: "How sad that people continue to show this part of West Virginia instead of all the wonderful things our state has to offer – no thanks to MTV for continuing ugly stereotypes."
Kimberly Stover-Seeley: "It's not that bad … just a bunch of good ole boys having fun."
Wanda Kramer: "I personally find it very entertaining! Pretty funny at that, because that's what they do here! Good ole boys havin fun, unlike 'Jersey Shore,' which was a trash show."
Hope E. Thompson: "They make those of us born and raised and proud of West Virginia look stupid. I had to cut it off."
Angela Price: "I was born and raised in West Virginia and am proud of the state. I don't think it makes West Virginia look bad. People do these things to have fun. What's the big deal?"
Shirley Swab Dutrow: "I never saw a dump truck swimming pool…pretty funny."
Wanda Kramer: "It's nothing that doesn't happen everyday in West Virginia. My son is a redneck, 100 percent, and I'm proud of him. I could actually see him doing these things. To each it's own!"
Rick Garland: "I saw previews of it and it looks like a stupid, West Virginia version of 'Jersey Shore,' which I didn't watch either. In my opinion, neither show has any redeeming qualities. Both are simply a waste of time."
Ed Lazarowitz: "'Buckwild' just seems like very young adults being really rude kids. A bit more boisterous than we were back-in-the-day, and the gals drop the 'f-bomb' way more than gals did in our day. I do have to admit that some of the stuff looks cool – like the dump truck pool and the Sissonville Roller Coaster. Does it show a 'negative stereotype' of those living in Kanawha County, West Virginia? Sure."
Megan Hartlove: "Seen and done some of the same things myself. It's the age. They are just a bunch of young kids having wild, stupid fun. Worth televising? Not really, because kids like them are a dime a dozen. Does it make our state look bad? No, because no matter where you live, there are kids acting just as wild and reckless. It's no big deal. If it isn't your type of programming, just don't watch it."
Sarah Moran Anders: "Seriously anyone living in the Eastern Panhandle already knows we have very little in common with Kanawha County …. feel free to embrace your inner redneck and enjoy the show."
Bethany Sprecher: "Too funny … just a bunch of young kids having fun. Not everyone in the state of West Virginia acts like this."
Jessica Peters: "I think it's boring."
Debbie Harman Grinnan: "Yep, I, too, was born and raised in West Virginia and have done many of these things as a young adult just not as reckless."
Shaun Amos: "For whom is this sort of thing 'entertaining'? Watching potty-mouthed children break the law and proudly treat themselves, others and property with disrespect is worse than a waste of time – it objectifies and dehumanizes – and has nothing to do with West Virginia.
"I grew up in West Virginia. Both my parents' families have lived in Wetzel and Tyler counties for nearly 200 years. This show isn't about West Virginia. Most West Virginians I know are hard-working, respectful, noble. This show is about ill-behaved children who lacked real parenting. Not entertaining, not worth anyone's time."
Nikki Turner: "I don't like it. Everybody makes jokes about West Virginia already. This is a disgrace. It gives us a bad name."
Kimberly Stover-Seeley: "All I want to say is I love it when people make jokes and talk about West Virginia because [then] they don't come here. I'm from Delaware and I heard all the jokes and watched the movies, then my sister moved here and I came to visit and moved here two weeks later. I just fell in love with the views and people. Been here for 10 years now and love it. Everywhere else is way overpopulated. So I'll keep the secret and they can have their jokes and stay away."
Rob Althoff: "I moved to Martinsburg six years ago from Maryland. I think any show on MTV is dumb. I thought this show was funny. The way I see it is if the kids on the show don't care how they look, why should we judge? If everyone would just stop and worry about there own life for a change. This stuff on the show probably happens in most states in the country."
Stacey Gruber: "I don't watch any reality shows. I can't stand the fighting and drama. Give me good shows like in the 'old days' – "Andy Griffith," "Three's Company," "Dukes of Hazzard." Simple comedy!"
Kim Spangler: "They are all young adults just having some country-style fun! People act crazy in other states as well so I don't think this makes West Virginia look bad."
Sharon Watson: "I don't think it was such a good idea for the Spirit of Jefferson to publicize this show by advertising the time and channel."
Jane Blash: "I cannot support or invest my time in the probability of viewing general stupidity and debasement. Perhaps though you would be able to provide me with a list of program sponsors. I'd like to write to them and express my displeasure and let them know I will not be purchasing their products. Thanks so much for also bringing this issue to our consciousness."[/cleeng_content]

Lions' Suh ejected in game against Packers
Updated On: Nov 24 2011 03:45:38 PM EST
Ndamukong Suh was ejected from Detroit's game Thursday against Green Bay after he appeared to step on an opposing offensive lineman.
Suh was ejected early in the third quarter after the Lions thought they'd stopped the Packers on third down near the Detroit goal line. A replay showed Suh and Green Bay's Evan Dietrich-Smith scuffling on the ground briefly before the All-Pro defensive tackle got up and appeared to stomp at Dietrich-Smith's upper right arm.
Green Bay took advantage of the penalty, scoring a touchdown.
In less than two seasons as a pro, Suh has received his share of fines, and he met with Commissioner Roger Goodell this month to discuss his play.
Green Bay's Pat Lee was ejected in the first half.

Daniel B. Botkin, a widely respected ecologist and author of noted books on environmental history, philosophy and science, has turned his attention to energy, with a new book charting one path to a prosperous post-fossil future in which energy is abundant but not a source of environmental ills. The book, "Powering The Future: A Scientist's Guide to Energy Independence" has just been published by Pearson FT Press.
I've been in touch with Botkin for years and we traded e-mails in the past week, reflecting on the continuing spill of oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
Here's an essay from Botkin reflecting on ways to move toward a sustained expansion of clean energy technology after generations of energy policies shaped by abundant supplies of coal and oil and disregard for their indirect impacts. I don't agree with all of his views (for instance, the costs he describes below will almost assuredly remain a hard sell even if events conspire to support a leader seeking to make energy a keystone priority). Have a read and weigh in. I'll encourage him to respond and I will, too.
"Potato Creek Johnny" and Energy Independence
Daniel B. Botkin
Seventeen-year-old Potato Creek Johnny arrived in Deadwood, South Dakota, in 1883 and began prospecting for gold. It only took him 25 years to strike pay dirt — discovering the largest gold nugget ever. Made famous, he kept prospecting, hoping for the next big find, for the rest of his 77 years. He had a policy for seeking natural resources: hope without information. You would think in this scientific age we would have governments that had gotten beyond him, and used a rationalist's policy: seek the best scientific information and take actions that, after careful analysis, would have the best chance of success.

Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein (DrKW), the investment arm of Germany's Dresdner Bank, plans to further separate its credit flow products and digital markets divisions as part of what it calls an effort to expand electronic trading across its business.Sean Park, who had headed both divisions after the creation of the digital markets side in September last year, will now concentrate solely on four components: electronic trading, capital, sales, and listed products and prime brokerage.
Henry Nevstad, who had been global head of structured notes and private placements at DrKW since 2003, will take over as head of credit flow products, a position that oversees the bank's high-volume electronic derivatives and bond activities.
The bank said Martin Gipp, who was previously director of the medium-term note desk, would replace Nevstad as global head of structured notes and private placements.

This week's Death Valley Voice podcast is a little different than previous episodes in that it's more about the team LSU beat, but still found a way into the BCS National Championship Game, the Auburn Tigers. I talk with Chris Fuhrmeister from College and Magnolia, the Auburn blog on SB Nation.
Death Valley Voice Podcast-Chris Fuhrmeister
The next episode will take a look at LSU's opponent in the Outback Bowl, the Iowa Hawkeyes, and how the Tigers matchup vs. their Big Ten Conference opponent in a rematch of the 2005 Capital One Bowl. But in the meantime, Chris and I take a look at the SEC's biggest surprise this season and their win in an offensive explosion against the Missouri Tigers in the SEC Championship Game in which they racked up 50 points and ran for about 900 yards.
Tre Mason, who set records for rushing yards (304), all-purpose yards and yards from scrimmage (312) and carries (46) in that game is a Heisman finalist and I asked Chris how high he thinks he can finish in the voting and if he has a legit shot at being the fourth Auburn player to take home the trophy.
I couldn't let Chris go without going down memory lane and asking him how this team compares to the team that won the title with Cam Newton and Nick Fairley and recent history with the 'prayer in Jordan-Hare' and the finish to the Iron Bowl vs. the Alabama Crimson Tide.
It's less than a month until the title game vs. Florida State Seminoles and I wrapped up the interview by asking Chris how the Tigers matchup against the No. 1 team in the country and their star quarterback Jameis Winston.

Resetting Parking Without More Pavement
Laguna Beach wants to end one of its most vexatious cultural norms: visitors and residents alike circling the block, hunting for an open parking place. In fact, city officials are inviting anyone with ideas on how to make better use of existing public parking in downtown and along Laguna Canyon to present their solutions in a community workshop on Wednesday, July 18.
The 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. meeting to gather public input at the Susi Q Senior-Community Center kicks off a year-long effort to draft recommendations to solve a seemingly intractable problem: making better use of finite spaces for cars in the town's principal shopping district and near its three art festivals.
Parking and traffic along with a lack of affordable housing and preventative health care were the only four areas where Laguna Beach's citizens rated their town below national norms in an opinion poll released last month.
Innovative ideas such as peak demand pricing for parking meters, tapping private lots for public use, bike sharing arrangements and pay-by-phone apps to avert expired meters are among the sorts of concepts and new technologies that will be evaluated as part of the study, according to the proposal terms.
The issue of how to better cope with Laguna's continuing popularity during peak tourist season is a problem other cities wish for, the city's principal planner Monica Tuchscher pointed out. "The reality is we don't have transportation issues in non-peak season," she said.
Residents, merchants, employees and visitors vie for the 2,000 existing public parking spaces in the downtown and canyon area, but as any local motorist knows parking demand varies dramatically with the season and weather conditions. The management plan is envisioned to contain components that are responsive to such fluctuations in demand, Tuchscher said.
The current evaluation excludes altogether the village entrance, which, in its last iteration in 2008, was to add 556 parking spaces to a five-level, $15.5 million structure near City Hall. Analysis showed the project to be a money loser except in summer. It's been mothballed since.
The village entrance traffic study, though, and other previously accumulated parking data will serve as a foundation for the current analysis conducted by Irvine's RBF Consulting over the next year, Tuschsher said. The consulting firm tapped two experts familiar with cities such as Portland, Ore., she said, known for progressive transportation policies that de-emphasize vehicular travel, including bike and skateboard paths.
The City's website provides a link to additional information on the parking management master plan.

Pica is an eating disorder that is characterized by the repeated eating of non-nutritive substances over a period of one month or longer. Patients may eat non-edible objects such as paint, plaster, dirt, ice, or laundry starch. Pica generally affects small children, pregnant women, and people whose cultural environment is most compatible with the eating of non-food items.
Onset of pica generally occurs when the affected individual is between 12 and 24 months of age. Affected infants typically eat paint, plaster, string, hair or cloth. Older children may eat substances such as animal droppings, sand, bugs, leaves or pebbles. Aversion to food is absent. Complications of the disorder are lead poisoning (from eating lead- based paints) and hairball tumors. Non-food items such as laundry starch, clay, dirt, stones, chalk and limestone are other substances that may be craved by pica patients. Children usually outgrow pica. Rarely, adults may manifest the disorder. Pregnant women sometimes have a craving for unusual foods like pickles or ice, but rarely for non-food items.
While a relationship between pica and iron deficiency has been suggested, a cause and effect relationship has not yet been proven. Some substances which are craved by patients with this disorder interfere with the body's absorption of iron from food. Some authorities believe that pica is a learned pattern of behavior while others theorize that it is due to other cultural, psychological and physiological factors or a combination of these factors. In many cases, correction of iron or other deficiencies in the patient may eliminate the abnormal craving that characterizes this disorder.
Pica can begin as early as the age of one year. It is usually outgrown by six or seven years of age, but some cases persist until puberty. Some adult women, particularly pregnant women, can suffer from this disorder. Severely retarded people often must be monitored to protect them from eating non-edible substances. Pica is thought to be underreported, and the prevalence is not known with any accuracy. It is considered "developmentally inappropriate" in children older than 18 to 24 months.
Treatment of Pica mainly consists of preventing patients from eating the craved, non-nutritive substances. Psychiatric counseling aimed at behavior modification is often recommended. However, for certain cultural reasons, some Pica clay and starch eaters may persist in occasionally eating a lump or two of these items.
When mineral imbalances can be identified in people who have Pica, the imbalance should be corrected with vitamin and/or mineral supplements. In many cases correction of these deficiencies will stop or reduce the craving for inedible substances.
