In every community, there must be one who gets the short end of the stick. I'm afraid that for the Theoi, that short end was given to Ares. In a society where strategy, logic, control and a clear mind were key, Ares' temper, His bloodlust, His rage always put Him in a disadvantage. In most of His myths, He loses. In others, he is ridiculed. He's on the losing side of the Trojan war; he gets caught by Hēphaistos while sleeping with Aphrodite. It isn't pretty. Yet, Ares is a powerful Theos, a feared Theos, and as such, He deserves the most loyal of worship.
Imogen Heap - Whatever
Ares plays immortal life loose and fast, and who in their right mind would say no to Aphrodite anyway? Yet, I can also understand that playing loose and fast with one's heart would suck, even if you're a God. So, I always feel He just deals with it; accepts his weakness for the beautiful Goddess and takes it as it comes.
And you're all that you are / And you're all that you said / You're so exquisitely bred / Hmm yeah what more can I say
So yeah, yeah / I guess it's alright / Yeah, no, no / I guess it's alright whatever"
Timbaland - The Way I Are
I have no good excuse for this one, but I think Ares would love to go clubbing to this one. All the lyrics would be just as much a lie from Him as they are from Timbaland, and I think it would score Him just as much girls.
We all know Ares is a player; he's had countless women and fathered well over fifty children--and that's not even including the Amazons. He's also the 'bad boy' of the bunch. In my opinion, this is a perfect song to honor that.
Casey Stratton - Blood
I would have linked to the album version if I was on youtube but alas... As it is, I'm a big fan of Casey's first album, Standing at the Edge. There's something incredibly moving about his music. Take 'Blood'; it's one of my favorites in that it sways you into the madness, the deep, dark desire for the unspeakables of life. It fits Ares' obsession with the liquid red to a tee. Ares got hurt in the Trojan war, a strike aided by Athena. The lyrics are so very fitting for vengeance in the name of justice.
Yes it's time to go / Time to drain you down / Time to let those fears come to the surface"
Garbage - Only Happy When It Rains
I don't think it's necessarily true, that Ares only enjoys his days when others suffer, or when everything is depressing. Yet, we all know the feeling, when you are so... angry, so unfulfilled, so on edge that brazenly moving through the rain, letting it soak you completely, and watching others try to avoid getting wet is the only way to deal with what you feel inside. I feel Ares so very close to me then, howling with laughter at the poor souls depriving themselves of life's darkest joys. Sometimes, we are only happy when it rains. That's when I feel Ares closes to me.
I can not repeat this enough: this video is not suitable for work. Then again, it's on the news every night, isn't it? Wrapped in pretty word packages and hate speech: genocide; the slaughter of war. I could have picked any of a hundred protest songs for my last one--as Ares is also the inciter of righteous anger and civil unrest--but I chose Born Free for it's lack of cover-up. This video is about an ethnic (loosely interpreted) group, being rounded up by the regime and either shot or send running through a minefield. It isn't pretty, it isn't fair, it makes my blood boil, but I feel this video (and--of course--the many real life examples it was based on) would have Ares howling with rage. This is not the honor-filled war of the ancient Hellens; this is a massacre--as are all our wars these days. I don't think Ares, God of war, would agree one single bit with our definition of the word war. Not one, single, bit.

Kragthorpe: Arizona State hopes for strong finish, Pac-12 South title
Ute co-offensive coordinator Dennis Erickson paused to field questions and accept congratulations while walking out of Rice-Eccles Stadium after Utah's upset of Stanford last month. Erickson's parting sentiment emphasized briefly enjoying the victory then going back to work to prepare for another opponent.
Erickson's cautious approach was a product of his long career, including his last head coaching experience. In 2011, his Arizona State team stood 6-2 overall and seemingly was a lock to win the Pac-12 South championship (with USC ineligible), only to lose its last four regular-season games in a series of fourth-quarter fades that cost Erickson his job.
Two years later, despite his well-grounded response to beating Stanford, Erickson's new team is struggling after four straight losses. His old team is back in position to clinch the South title by beating UCLA this Saturday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.
ASU coach Todd Graham is not downplaying the opportunity to win the division.
"We talk about it all the time ... from the time we walked in the door here," Graham said Tuesday.
UCLA is the South's two-time defending champion, thanks partly to ASU's annual lapses. This game could be a classic, like last year's 45-43 win for the Sun Devils in a great duel between quarterbacks Taylor Kelly of ASU and Brett Hundley of UCLA.
That victory was part of ASU's 5-1 start in Graham's first season. But it was followed by four defeats before the Sun Devils regrouped with two conference victories and a bowl win.
ASU has avoided another collapse this month by overcoming some offensive struggles to beat Utah and Oregon State. The Sun Devils were rolling up huge numbers until being held to seven points through three quarters at Utah, although they salvaged a 20-19 win with two long touchdown drives. The offense produced only 339 yards and 23 points last weekend, but an interception return for a touchdown helped ASU beat Oregon State 30-17.
The Sun Devils will have to score more than 20 points and probably more than 30 to beat the Bruins.
UCLA regressed offensively in losses to Stanford and Oregon but has recovered with wins over Colorado, Arizona and Washington. The Bruins' improvement is partly attributable to coach Jim Mora's multiple uses of linebacker Myles Jack. The freshman has taken offensive shifts in the past two games, carrying the ball 13 times for 59 yards and three touchdowns against Washington. UCLA defensive end Cassius Marsh also caught a TD pass against the Huskies as a blocker in a goal-line formation.
If the Bruins win Saturday, they'll also have to beat USC to become the South's representative in the Pac-12 championship game. In turn, USC needs both UCLA and Arizona to defeat ASU, in addition to beating UCLA next week.

Quiche is great for breakfast but can also make for a great light lunch when paired with a salad. Although this dish goes together in minutes, it can still be impressive when served to a group.
1. Take out a frozen pie crust to thaw (it needs 10 minutes) and preheat your oven to 350 F. Beat six eggs and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Cube one cup of ham.
This can be leftover ham or a ham steak or you can even buy a package of ham that is already cubed.
2. Once the oven is preheated, put the quiche together. Set the pie crust on a cookie sheet or pizza pan (this makes it easier to take in and out of the oven). Add the ham. Top with one cup of shredded cheese. You can use whatever you have on hand, cheddar and Swiss both work well. Top with the eggs. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean.
Let the quiche cool for about five minutes before slicing and serving.
This quiche pairs well with a mixed green salad topped with walnuts, dried cranberries and a simple balsamic vinaigrette.

Nick Pilozzi spent his life planning for a military career. He went through basic training, advanced infantry training, and was ready for his first deployment to Afghanistan.
Nick was on the ground in Afghanistan for just four months - when the chopper he and his comrades were on crashed in the side of a mountain. He says instinct told him to jump out the back when the helicopter's nose dipped. Nick was the only one of eleven to survive.
That crash left Nick with a badly wounded knee, and the grief of losing close friends. He helped recover their bodies - and an American flag from the wreckage. In a personal vow to honor the memory of his comrades, he redeployed on a recounted reconnaissance mission deep in enemy territory.
He was fired upon by a rocket propelled grenade - that sprayed his entire right side with shrapnel. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and spent a year in the Wounded Warrior Unit atFort Drum. He was honored for his bravery and service with several accolades - notably the purple heart, and the army commendation and good conduct medals.
Nick eventually returned home to Western New York a war hero, and bought his first home last summer. He was mowing his lawn when his injured knee gave out. Nick fell and his foot slipped under the lawnmower. Nick lost his left foot.
Alone, in his yard, he recalled his years of combat training. He managed towrap his foot and call for help.
Since that day, Nick has endured three surgeries and is waiting for a prosthetic. He uses a cane and wheelchair to move around. And he's now a full-time student working toward the goal of becoming a mental health counselor for combat veterans.
But not a day goes by when he doesn't think of his fellow soldiers still fighting in Afghanistan.
The community is now coming together to help Nick. He needs a first floor bedroom in his home. So a benefit is being held in his honor on April 21st at 4:00pm at the American Legion on Main Street in Tonawanda.

American Legion staff and volunteers are in Las Vegas all week to spread the word about Legion programs to a rather large audience – attendees of the annual Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show and Conference.
The SHOT Show is the largest and most comprehensive trade show for all professionals involved with the shooting sports, hunting and law-enforcement industries. More than 1,600 exhibitors – including Smith & Wesson, Remington, Glock and Swiss Army – are filling the Sands Conference Center; their products are being perused by more than 62,000 industry professionals from all 50 states and 100 countries.
"What a great backdrop for us to have to spread the word about American Legion programs," said Mark H. Ochsenbein, one of the Legion volunteers at the SHOT Show and a consultant to the Legion's National Security Commission. "That's why I'm here: to represent the Legion, and to show how we support and help veterans. It's a great audience for that here."
The Legion representatives will be handing out brochures that promote programs and services provided by The American Legion, such as the Legion's Junior Shooting Sports program and veterans benefits assistance.
The Legion's booth is set up within the mammoth Otis Technology display. Also within Otis' area is the Stars and Stripes Foundation, featuring Medal of Honor recipients Michael Thornton and Thomas Norris.
"It's important to see the Legion associated with some of the greatest warriors in the world," Ochsenbein said. "I think that's really pretty neat."
National Finance Commission Chairman Kenneth Danilson and Past National Commander David Rehbein are the other Legion volunteers at the SHOT Show.
"This is really pretty amazing," Rehbein said of the show. "I've been to other trade shows, and I don't know how you could come here and see everything."
Rehbein said the Legion's presence at the SHOT Show is a natural fit. "So many of the people here share many of the same values that we have in The American Legion," he said. "By being here, we're effectively showing our support and concern we have for Second Amendment rights and issues.
"This is just speculation on my part, but I think those issues may be more important to our newest generation of veterans. They may have stronger feelings about it because they volunteered for the service. They had those same values before they joined."

Traffic operation bears fruitApril 03,2013ST. ALBANS The Vermont State Police say a weekend operation designed to encourage safe driving during the Easter holiday weekend resulted in dozens of stops for speeding.
The operation that began Friday focused on areas along the border in Franklin, Grand Isle and Orleans counties with an emphasis on major corridors, such as interstates 89 and 91.
Vermont State Police Assistant Field Force Commander Capt. Robert Evans said highly visible aggressive traffic enforcement can reduce crashes and detect criminal activity.
Among the results of the weekend operation along the border were 94 tickets being issues, including 53 speeding violations and six criminal arrests, but no arrests for driving under the influence of alcohol.
And Vermont saw no traffic fatalities over the weekend.MORE IN Vermont News

A native of California, Ellis cracked the film world via acting in his younger days, appearing in the likes of 1975 Kurt Russell pic The Strongest Man In The World.
He seemed to find his true calling as a stunt man and co-ordinator, orchestrating set pieces for such films as Scarface, To Live And Die In LA, Patriot Games, Misery, Days Of Thunder and Lethal Weapon. He made the somewhat natural segue to second unit director and jumped the director's chair with Final Destination 2.
From there he went on to make thriller Cellular, the pop culturally iconic Snakes On A Plane, Asylum, The Final Destination and, most recently, Shark Night 3D.
Though his helming career might not be best remembered for the quality of the movies, his enthusiasm, charisma and eye for a good action scene will certainly be missed. The cause of his death isn't known, but he apparently died suddenly while in the midst of preparing to make his next project, an adaptation of anime title Kite that would have reunited him with Snakes' Samuel L Jackson.

Columbia, SC (WLTX) - Crews put up the new sign honoring USC running back Marcus Lattimore Friday afternoon.
The banner, which is in the rampsabove the northwest corner of the end zone,commemorates Lattimore's 38 career rushing touchdowns, the all-time mark in school history.
A formal ceremony to give tribute to the accomplishment will take place during Saturday's USC-Arkansas game.
Lattimore broke the old record set by 1980 Heisman Trophy Winner George Rogers.
Because he's still recovering from a knee injury that ended his season,Lattimore's doctors have told him not to attend the ceremony.

Every week (usually), Shifting Perspectives examines issues affecting druids and those who group with them. This week, confused bears everywhere ask themselves, "Why is no one playing us if we're so awesome?"
I've had an article on this subject percolating for a while. Why people play what they do is a question that endlessly fascinates me, and Nick Yee made a business out of examining the various factors that influenced people's class and role choices in games. Unfortunately, with only fan site numbers to go on, it's sometimes tough to figure out exactly what's happening with demographic shifts ingame. For a while now we've had the sense that, while Feral has lost population since Wrath hit, it's bears in particular who've been hit hardest, and as I've written previously, they've all but vanished from my own server. Because most Armory data sites don't distinguish between bear and cat specs, I never figured out whether all the stories I heard about a shrinking bear population were an accurate gloss on what was going on.
Sometimes, though, Blizzard cuts through the confusion and bluntly states that a class or spec just isn't being played that much. Witness, if you will, the gradual extinction of the bear.
So Xariks on the Tanking forum poses the question; why are bears so underplayed? Any well-designed spec that's a PvE or PvP powerhouse and the frequent target of nerf demands has historically resulted in a huge influx of players (e.g. rogues for most of classic WoW and warlocks in Burning Crusade, among others). In Feral, we have before us a spec that had a 50% share of the druid population in BC and, in the transition to Wrath, received considerable buffs to many of its historic weak spots, the removal of prejudicial encounter mechanics, the addition of another weapon option, and the tanking community's hatred for its highest effective health on average. Yet they've been singled out for especial commentary for being, per Ghostcrawler, an "unpopular spec" in modern raids.
Druids, tanks, and developers all want to know -- what gives?
It's taken me a while to work through this article, in part because I could never be sure I was hitting the right tone. Let me be clear; I love the druid class desperately, and I think anyone who's not playing one needs to have their head examined. I think the Feral spec is well-designed, and I also think that the majority of the problems it's suffered in raids have been the result of the shifting philosophy concerning encounter design rather an than inherent flaw with the spec itself. I have no desire for this to turn into a QQ-fest. To be frank, I just want to know what the hell's going on.
If you go through forum and discussion threads, a set of commonly-cited reasons for the bear shortage starts to emerge. I've taken the liberty of condensing and listing them here as 8 separate but related schools of argument. Many of them don't have much to do with druids themselves, but do have a lot to do with how human nature and demographic shifts ingame wind up influencing what people can play. Some of them aren't necessarily problems per se (and I don't agree with all of them) -- but they are issues that both druid and non-druid players alike seem to think are exercising influence on the bear population.
Complaint #1: Bears just aren't as visually compelling as other tanks.
"If I'm going to tank, I don't want to stare at a bear ass all the time, especially a LARGE bear ass that takes up half the screen."
In any MMORPG, the visual "coolness" factor has a large impact on avatar choice, even if people aren't wild about admitting it. With the new bear and cat designs, there's no question that bears look better than they ever have, but a fully-geared plate tank is an impressive sight. The most popular tank, the protection warrior, is also one of the most visually iconic and distinctive avatars in the game, and is still the tank most likely to appear in official literature, art, and fan art. Plate tanks are also more visually dynamic than bears, who remain the same static model from 10 through the level cap. As Alex Ziebart observed behind the scenes here, the druid class in WoW breaks one of the cardinal rules concerning MMO design; it is impossible to "advance" the character given that the druid is almost always in form.
Plate tanks also have access to cool animations -- e.g., Shield Bash, Death and Decay, Consecration, Holy Shield, Heroic Throw -- that bears don't have. Warriors and paladins in particular always seem to be in constant motion: smashing their shields into an enemy's face, parrying and dodging attacks, casting/using the aforementioned abilities, etc. The bear, by contrast, isn't quite as interactive. It lacks an animation for avoidance, Lacerate and Swipe are the same thing, Maul reuses an animation originally programmed for the beta bear graphic, and the Mangle animation really doesn't make much sense.
My take: Eh. A static form graphic plagues all four druid specs, but druid population numbers aren't exactly suffering right now. If third-party sites are accurate, we're doing better than we've ever done, with an ideal 10% share of the characters at 80 and a fairly measured split among Balance, Feral, and Restoration players. So if static form graphics are in fact a problem (and not all druids would agree they are), it's not one that's impacting class representation as a whole. Moreover, a raid leader doesn't care whether a bear player is bored by the form graphic; they care if you can do your job. Druid tank representation could only by indirectly impacted by "boring" graphics insofar as it affected class population as a whole -- and right now, class population just isn't an issue.
Having said that, I'll concede that the bear could probably stand to be made a lot more interesting with respect to its animation set. And what on earth happened to the old Enrage animation that wasn't a clone of Demoralizing Roar? It disappeared halfway through BC and never came back.
Complaint #2: Gear consolidation had a more demoralizing effect on druids than other tanks.
"In BC the tanks talked the drops over and took care of each other. Now I'm fighting half the raid for gear while the other tanks get everything handed to them. That's not fun."
The merits of gear consolidation aside, there's something uninspiring about having to compete with your DPS for "tanking gear." Back in Tier 7, it was somewhat uncomfortable that the bear's best-in-slot legs (Leggings of the Honored off a hard-mode Sartharion) were also the best-in-slot DPS legs for multiple classes, and that situation's reoccurred with various pieces since. While many raids prioritize drops toward tanks in accordance with the very common "gear your tanks first" mantra (and the situation's been somewhat eased by the changes to Berserker stance for warriors rendering DPS leather less desirable), Wrath itemization has removed a lot of the excitement over upgrading your tanking gear because there really isn't any.
DPS leather is now "tanking" leather, but with +hit and +haste in overabundance and a maddening difficulty reaching the hard +expertise cap, bears are reminded at every turn that melee DPS leather is...well, melee DPS leather. We're supposed to use the same rings, cloaks, necklaces, and trinkets as other tanks, but with +strength on almost all of it and the not-infrequent presence of +parry and +block, the end result is that, no matter what you're using, it feels like Blizzard's irritably shoving you into someone else's gear.
My take: I have to admit that this wound up affecting me a lot more than I thought it would. It was really exciting to get things like Treads of the Den Mother and Wildfury Greatstaff back in Burning Crusade, because that gear was obviously meant for us. It's not as much fun to get a non-set drop and squirm at your keyboard realizing you just cost the rogues "their" Acidmaw Treads and the Death Knight "his" Dark Edge of Depravity. Even feral staves, once the most iconic and unique part of a class that rarely got to see its gear, have been cannibalized in the interest of consolidating loot lists. They were the one thing that marked you as a tank from all the way across Shatt, in much the same way that a Bulwark of Azzinoth was the indelible mark of a protection warrior or paladin. While this distinction has been preserved for them, there's really nothing special that remains for druids.
Don't get me wrong -- I don't miss the itemization and "Whither +defense?" nightmare of BC, but I desperately miss being able to look at a new tier of content and bouncing up and down happily seeing the beautiful new feral staff. Right now, all I see is just one more damn drop to fight over.
Complaint #3: The need to use DPS leather has resulted in an uncomfortable opportunity cost associated with gearing bear tanks.
"My raid leader's a rogue, and he's sick of sitting around waiting for me to get my stuff. We're going for hard-mode Jaraxxus-25 this week and his three options are a warrior, a death knight, and me. Guess who'll be coming as resto?"
Gear drops are zero-sum. I got the aforementioned Leggings of the Honored. The DPS warrior didn't. Did they drop again? Nope. A raid that chooses to prioritize drops toward a bear tank is, at least in the short term, costing itself improved damage from its melee DPS and/or hunters. This isn't a problem that results from the use of any other tank; the rest of the raid doesn't want tanking plate or anything with the slightest whiff of a defensive stat on it.
Turnabout is fair play too. If your raid doesn't prioritize drops toward tanks, odds are pretty good you're going to be upgrading your tanking set a lot more slowly than your buddy the prot pally, who's not going to have much competition for any drops apart from tier tokens.

Many teachers and parents say there's so much at stake with the TAKS test, for students, teachers and school districts, teachers have to spend too much class time preparing students to take it. Two bills before the legislature would replace the TAKS test with exams in core curriculum subjects at the end of the school year, and HISD Board Vice President Harvin Moore says that's a better way.
"I think that you'll find a little bit less of a focus on what some people call "teaching to the test", when you can test at the end of the year, and therefore you have more time to teach the materials and the skills."
Moore says the TAKS only says a student passes or fails. It says nothing about how much a student is learning or how he or she is doing in school, as "end of course" exams would do. He wants a test that shows students are doing better and succeeding, not just getting by.
"Part of a successful new regimen of testing would not only be "end of course" exams, but it would be to focus the accountability system on improvement, and not just on whether everybody passed."
Moore says he'll vote for the resolution to the legislature at Thursday's meeting, and he thinks most of the other board members will to. Jim Bell, Houston Public Radio News.

The investigation began in September 2011 when a victim reported she was sexually assaulted by two unknown men near Spring Mountain Road and South Las Vegas Boulevard.
As a result of the investigation, detectives identified 25-year-old Matthew Goin as the second suspect in this case. He remains outstanding and is currently wanted on charges related to this investigation.

I had to re-watch this trailer for Salvation Boulevard to figure out exactly what was happening, but that's cool. A lot is going at the Church of James Bond. I would definitely go to that church on Sundays, unless… y'know, someone got murdered at it.
In Salvation Boulevard, Pierce Brosnan plays the charismatic head of a super crazy mega church, who kills an atheist professor (Ed Harris) in front of a deadhead-turned-church-goer Greg Kinnear. This puts Kinnear in great danger – even Jim Gaffigan's character tries to kill him. Normally, Gaffigan's a pretty cool guy, but witness the wrong murder and Gaffigan will take you apart like a hot pocket.
Based on a novel by Larry Beinhart, Salvation Boulevard is directed by George Ratliff.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Challenges are something Cory Stocnyski is a little too familiar with. He has lived with Asperger's, an autism disorder his entire life. On Saturday Cory faced the ultimate test, earning his black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
Tae Kwon Do is about discipline and technique. Cory began classes with Master Chong's Studio back in January of 2007. Since then, his parents, Colleen and Bob Stocnyski, have noticed a ground breaking change in their son
"For every student it's a unique and personal experience, for Cory, there are different challenges he brought to the table, of course memorization was a bit of an issue, but this is just an incredible young man," said Michael Mertens of Master Chongs's World Class Tae Kwo Do.
At the end of the day, Cory not only received his black belt but took home much more, a sense of belonging and friends for life.

How to Set Up a 12 Lead Ekg
Four Parts:Preparing for the ProcedureMarking the Spots Using a MarkerMarking V1 to V6Placing the Electrodes
A 12-Lead EKG is a measure of the electrical activity of the heart. The steps that follow, will aid you in placing the electrodes on the subject in the specified areas. Please note that the names of each of the leads are standard.
Important Terminology: Intercostal Space: The space between two ribs on the same side of the body.
Part 1 of 4: Preparing for the Procedure
Part 2 of 4: Marking the Spots Using a Marker
1Mark the left arm lead. Stand, facing your subject. Ask the subject raise their left arm, and place it on your right shoulder. There should be a small indention in the skin, right next to the shoulder joint and under the collarbone. Using a dry erase marker, place a dot in this indention. This will be the location of the Left Arm Lead.
- Mark the right arm lead. Use the the same process, with the subject's right arm.
2Mark the leg leads. Locate the subject's two hip bones. Using the marker, place a dot just above the top of the hip bone, at the same level as the navel. Complete this on both sides of the navel. These two dots will be the Leg Leads.
3Mark the first chest lead. Locate the clavicle on the subject's right side. Place two fingers, just below the clavicle, and just above the top rib in the first intercostal space.
4Mark the second chest lead. Make your way down the subject's chest counting intercostal spaces. When you get to the fourth space, STOP. (you should be about to the bottom of the sternum)
- Note for female patients, the placement should be under the breast.
Part 3 of 4: Marking V1 to V6
1Mark lead V1. Using your marker, place a dot in the fourth intercostal space, where you stopped, just to the side of the sternum.
2Mark lead V2. At the same level as V1, on the opposite side of the sternum, place another dot in the fourth intercostal space of the subject's left side.
3Mark leads V3 and V4. Remaining on the left side of the chest, count down one more intercostal space. Place your left index finger here.
- Locate the subject's left clavicle, and approximate the middle of it.
- Move your left index finger, which is in the intercostal space, so that it is in line with the middle of the subject's left clavicle. Using your marker, place a dot at this site. This is lead V4.
- Locate the two dots on the left side of the chest (leads V2 and V4). At a diagonal line, place a dot in the middle of these two dots. If this dot is on top of a rib, move the dot down, just below it. This is Lead V3.
4Mark leads V5 and V6. Have the subject stand, so that their left side is facing you. Have them raise, their left arm straight out, and above their head.
- Locate the mid line of the armpit. Staying on this mid line, place a dot at the same level as lead V4, on this mid line. This is Lead V6.
- Locate the dots for Leads V4 and V6. Place one more dot, at the same level as these two, in the middle of them. This is Lead V5.
Part 4 of 4: Placing the Electrodes
1Clean the spots. Using a mildly abrasive gel that will probably be provided, place a small amount on each of the ten dots that you just made.
2Remove the gel. Using a damp towel, remove the gel from each of the ten sites. Towel dry each of the sites afterward.
3Place an electrode at each of the ten, now clean, areas.
4Hook the electrodes to the computer. Depending on the computer setup, hook each of the electrodes to the computer via the provided lead wires. Make sure to place the right lead wire to the specific area that it is designated to.
- A diagram to aid in electrode placement can usually be found on the packaging.
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Many people wonder why a 12 Lead EKG is put only in 10 places. It is because the procedure gives 12 pictures from the procedure.
- When removing the mildly abrasive gel, the area on the skin might appear slightly pink in color.
- Correct placement of the leads is very important. A mistake can cause issues such as false diagnosis of infarction.

This is a wonderfully reliable recipe. I've make it 4-5 times. Even when the crust has broken up I've poured in the filling and it was lovely. Twice I've been unable to find Bucheron in my grocer's cheese section so I used a mixture of the cheap goat logs and a bleu goat cheese. Be sure to cut off the rind if you're serving to guests... my family loves the rind, but I've found that guests don't!! I double the recipe and pour it into an oversized quiche plate. This is even a wonderful breakfast dish and can be made a day ahead of time.flag if inappropriate
This needed more cooking time. I found it fab! Very rich and tasty and I would certainly do it again!flag if inappropriate
We completely screwed this recipe up (forgot to bake the crust first, forgot the cream so simply chucked egg over the top, etc) and it was still fabulous. That's proof of a good tart, if you ask me.flag if inappropriate
Absolutely divine! Such wonderful flavours and textures. I made two, one using the aged goat cheese and the other using fresh soft goat cheese. Both turned out beautifully and delicious, so if you prefer more mild flavours just use fresh instead of aged. I also added black pepper to the crust to give it some oomph.flag if inappropriate
I made this for my family and it got great reviews! We served it with salmon and roasted potatoes. Delicious!flag if inappropriate
This was great. My kids (5-11) all asked for seconds! Next time I'll be doubling the recipe.flag if inappropriate
This has to be one of the most delicious and simple appetizers i've ever made! The leek confit is out of this world and is so versitale to serve with eggs and even on a slice of bread. It got the best raves at my supper club event last week! This is a keeper!flag if inappropriate
Delicious tart. I thought the dough was a little hard to work with, don't really know why, but it was flaky and taste great. Served with salad and some prosciutto.flag if inappropriate
This was great! I've made it twice now, both times using a store bought refrigerator crust. I added a little crumbled bacon which was delicious with the flavors. I topped each slice with a dollop of sour cream and a dab of caviar to show it off for a dinner part. This one will continue to be a favorite.flag if inappropriate
So, what to you do with the extra 1 tablespoon chilled unsalted butter? There was no mention to that!flag if inappropriate

A team of researchers from Penn State University and the University of Chicago has uncovered clues that may explain how and why a particular virus, called N4, injects an unusual substance -- an RNA polymerase protein -- into an E. coli bacterial cell. The results, which are published in the current issue of the journal Molecular Cell, contribute to improved understanding of the infection strategies used by viruses that attack bacterial cells. Such viruses are known as bacteriophages, or phages. The results also may help other researchers to come up with new ideas about ways to kill E. coli bacteria, which can be dangerous to humans.
"Most phages inject only their own DNA into bacterial cells," said Katsu Murakami, a Penn State assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and a leader of the study. "These phages then use the host bacterial cell's RNA polymerase to synthesize messenger RNA through a process called transcription, which ultimately results in the creation of new phage proteins. These new proteins are used to construct new phages inside the bacterial cell. But the phage that we are studying is different. It injects both its own DNA and its own RNA polymerase into bacterial cells, so it can begin the process of transcription without any help from the bacterial host's RNA polymerase."
The team says that the N4 phage that they are studying is the only phage that they know of that injects its own RNA polymerases into bacterial cells. "We are particularly interested in finding out why N4 injects its own RNA polymerase into bacterial cells and how the N4 RNA polymerase finds the N4 DNA and initiates transcription -- and, ultimately, the creation of new N4 phages -- once it is inside a bacterial cell," said Murakami.
To begin to answer these questions, team member Michael Gleghorn, a former graduate student in the Penn State Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Bi

Children's Hospital's Pulmonary Laboratory Offers New Non-Invasive Test for Children Suffering From Asthma
Asthma attacks often triggered during spring allergy season; May 1 is World Asthma Day
Pittsburgh, Pa. - April 30, 2007 -
Pulmonologists at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have begun using advanced pediatric technology to help diagnose and treat young children suffering from asthma. This technology — exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) testing — is especially crucial now, as spring allergy season can lead to severe attacks for many young asthmatics.
ENO assessments have become the most advanced, reliable and child-friendly way of measuring lung inflammation in children with asthma, according to Daniel J. Weiner, MD, director of the Pulmonology Laboratory at Children's.
"A major benefit of eNO is that we are able to conduct the test repeatedly because it is non-invasive," Dr. Weiner said. "In fact, the computerized graphics make many children feel that it's a game rather than a pulmonary function test."
The eNO machine is similar to a computer, with a small tower and monitor. The child keeps the balloon icon steady on the monitor, controlling its movement by breathing normally into the machine. The test gives a numeric reading of eNO levels that corresponds to degrees of inflammation. If inflammation levels have increased, the pulmonologist can decide on a course of action to better control the patient's asthma, including changing levels of medications or the medications themselves.
"This allows us to test on a regular basis, which makes it easier to monitor progress and change treatment plans to obtain optimum results," Dr. Weiner said. "We get an accurate read-out that enables us to see if a child has increased lung inflammation or if an asthmatic child's medicine is working. It gives us much more information than was previously available."
ENO assessments give an objective measurement of lung inflammation and are a practical alternative to current invasive and semi-invasive methods, including bronchoscopy, which uses a tube to examine the main airways of the lungs, and sputum induction. In sputum induction, patients inhale aerosols of concentrated salt-water solution that make them cough up sputum to be tested. Instead, in routine clinical visits, the severity of asthma is typically based on symptoms and lung function, which may give an incomplete assessment of severity according to Dr. Weiner.
May is National Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month, according to the American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), and May 1 is recognized as World Asthma Day.
"We need to be able to accurately measure asthma severity especially with allergy season descending upon us. With eNO, we can do that better than ever," said Jay K. Kolls, MD, chief of Children's Division of Pulmonary Medicine, Allergy and Immunology. "Allergies can set off a severe asthma attack, which can lead to missed school, a visit to the emergency room or worse."
More than 5 percent of all children suffer from asthma, according to the AAAAI. Nationwide, more than 70 percent of the 20 million people with asthma also suffer from allergies.

Celebrating 30 years of publication, ELLE chatted with the legendary Robert De Niro for the September 2015 edition, on newsstands now.
They certainly have a winning on-screen chemistry and Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are teaming with David O Russell once again for "Joy."
The new trailer just hit the web, telling the story of Joy Mangano, a single mom of three who became a billionaire after inventing the Miracle Mop.
He truly is one of acting's living legends and Robert De Niro has landed on the cover of the Holiday 2014 issue of Aspen Peak magazine.
The "Meet the Parents" star, who rarely gives interviews, explained that it's a little strange constantly hearing that he's one of the greatest actors of our time.
We're just into November and already the awards show season is well-underway, and on Saturday (November 8) the AMPAS Governors Awards took over the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Center.
Given his long and successful career in Tinseltown, Robert De Niro is certainly accustomed to high-profile events and star-filled guest lists.
And last night (October 7) the "Meet The Parents" star was the guest of honor at the Friars Foundation Gala at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.
Getting to work on the set of their latest film, Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro performed some tai chi in Brooklyn, NY this afternoon (September 18).
The incredibly talented pair shot scenes for their upcoming project "The Intern," and in the current scene the Oscar-winning actresses seemed to be a little out of place in the group of athletes.
Everyone loves to party for a good cause, and this evening (March 2) stars of all kinds gathered for the 22nd Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party in West Hollywood.
Honoring the best and brightest performances in film and television over the year, the 20th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards has lined up a batch of big name presenters.

The product is great for babies, very smooth and the scent smell really good. I love this scent on my son's skin!

His skin is moisturized, soft and the mild scent lingers throughout the day.
this is a good product and worth the money
"I have tried almost a dozen natural baby washes and this wins my vote. The scent leaves baby skin smelling delicately of orange sherbet and 'clean'.

Tomorrow is the big day for the BMX riders, finals for both the women and the men will be held in Stratford. Earlier this year we visited in Manchester the magnificent indoor BMX course that was built right next to the Velodrome. The staff of the Evans Cycles NCC store consists of avid trackies and BMX racers, on of them is Joe Davenport, who explained us how he got into BMX racing – if you feel inspired, you should give it a go, too!

History of The Pickwick Hotel
Welcome to the official blog of The Pickwick Hotel! We look forward to sharing San Francisco stories, recommendations and tips with you, our valued guests. We'll get started by sharing a history of the hotel. Be on the lookout for upcoming posts on some of our favorite places to visit while in San Francisco, one of the world's best cities!
A little history of our hotel: built in 1926, The Pickwick Hotel features neo-gothic architecture and a seven-story corner sign, creating a film-noire feel that transports guests back to era of Sam Spade and Femme Fatales. Currently undergoing renovations, The Pickwick Hotel retains its beautiful vintage style in the lobby and guest rooms.
The Pickwick Corporation was originally founded as Limited Imperial Valley Stage Line in 1915—a San Diego-based stagecoach company. The company's name was soon changed to Pickwick Stage Lines.
In 1926, The Pickwick Corporation—under new ownership—expanded the business to include hotel accommodations, with our hotel in downtown San Francisco being the first hotel property opened by the corporation.
In 1929, Pickwick Stages officially merged with Greyhound Lines, their logo being the running greyhound dog the bus line is still famous for today.
If the façade of the hotel seems familiar, that might be because it was featured in one of San Francisco's most beloved novels—Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon.
Today, guests at The Pickwick Hotel are walking distance from the Westfield Mall, Powell Street, Mint Plaza, Yerba Buena Gardens, the Ferry Building, San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art, numerous restaurants and so much more.
In coming posts we'll explore some of our favorite places to visit in San Francisco. Do you have a favorite landmark or restaurant in San Francisco? Let us know in the comments section below!
