Tummy Tuck with a Sprained Ankle, Do I Need to Postpone Surgery?
Doctor Answers 6
Plastic surgery after ankle sprain
There are various degrees of ankle sprain from very minor that would be of no consequence to severe. However, if you have ecchymosis, discoloration and unable to walk, this would interfere with your post-operative recovery. You need to get out of bed and walk after surgery. I would postpone the surgery if you are having problems ambulating.
Best of Luck,
Gary Horndeski, M.D.
Tummy tuck
You should notify your surgeon immediately. If you have a bad sprain, it might be a good idea to have the surgery pushed back a few days. Also, consider the possibility that you may have a fracture which can only be diagnosed with an X-ray. But, fer crying' out loud, call your surgeon!
Tummy Tuck after an ankle injury
The sprained ankle with definitely interfere with a smooth recovery from your abdominoplasty. It makes it more diificult to get around, gives you pain both in the ankle and in the abdomen, and may predispose you to venous thrombosis(blood clots in the leg veins) or pulmonary embolus( a clot that travels to the lung). Although you might go through the recovery without having these complications, why take a chance on the surgery you want to go well?

I'm making a male torso cake and he needs to be brown. Trouble is that I'm out of brown gel color. I'm using red, blue, and yellow to get brown. My first sample came out perfect, but when I tried to make a larger batch, it's coming out kind of green. Should I be using equal amounts, or use less blue. Please help.
Honestly I would take the time to make a trip to the store for brown color gel. Consistency is important and even if you get the color you want the first time you may need more and end up with something different.
If its coming out green add more red.
ADo you have any ivory?
Ivory makes really great flesh tone
Cocoa powder or melted chocolate?
I'd suggest ground cinnamon and cloves, but I don't think I will suggest that (or at least suggest it by itself), because enough to get a real brown would also produce a very spicy taste (and probably wouldn't be healthy to eat, either)

At the beginning of every year, many people vow they will eliminate debt once and for all. While it is great to have a desire to get out of debt, it is even better to put some action behind your plan.
You had to study to obtain your college degree, and you exercised to lose a few pounds -- now, it will take a dedicated plan and discipline to attack your debt.
1. Make a plan
People frequently are unsuccessful in attacking debt because they do so without planning beforehand. So, the first step to attacking your debt is to establish a debt-reduction plan.
Begin by creating a list of every person you currently owe. Next to each creditor, record the account balance, interest rate and applicable due dates.
Once you have compiled your listing, determine how you will attack the debt. While many argue it is better to first pay off balances with higher interest rates, others say it may be wise to attack small balances -- regardless of interest rate -- to give you the extra motivation to attack other forms of debt.
Compare the pros and cons of each method and use the one that works best for you.
2. Budget well
Once you have defined your method, make a firm commitment. Review your monthly budget to identify funds available for paying down your debt.
This is why budgeting is so important. Not only can a budget help you gauge the amounts coming in or going out, but it also gives you a financial roadmap to take control of spending.
Once you have identified available funds in your budget, commit to applying the amount over and above the required minimum payments.
3. Just say 'no'
Saying no to new forms of debt -- no matter how big or small -- is also important when attacking debt. Resist the urge to make purchases using credit cards. It is also a good idea to remove credit cards from your wallet, so that you will not have the urge to use them.
Remove overdraft protection from your accounts. This will get you into the habit of using only the money you have available in your accounts to pay for expenses.
The key to attacking debt is establishing a purpose for every dollar that comes into your possession. Before spending your hard-earned money, put a plan in place to help you forgo unnecessary expenses and reduce frivolous spending. This will help you attack debt more quickly.
Remember: your choice, your future!

As potential federal sequester funding cuts loom, officials on the North Coast weighed in on how services and recipients will be affected.
Calling from Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, North Coast Congressman Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael, said a sequester would have a "very serious impact" around the state.
"There are very few positive signs around here this week," he said. "I am concerned we're going to drift past Friday and these cuts are going to take effect."
He said concerns have been raised by social service providers, Humboldt State University, educators and tribes.
"I have heard from just about every type of stakeholder," he said. "At this point we're likely to see these cuts take effect for at least some period of time."
Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District Superintendent Michael Reid said his district will be uniquely affected by the sequester because the district sits amongst three federally recognized tribal lands.
Occupants of tribal lands -- as well as national forests, military bases and other federal land -- don't pay property taxes that typically support schools, and in 1950 Congress created the "Impact Aid" program to fund schools without property tax support.
Reid said 86 percent of Klamath-Trinity's student population is Native American, 92 percent are socioeconomically disadvantaged and 90 percent live on reservation land. Those statistics led to $4.3 million in federal aid this fiscal year.
"Those moneys are gone -- or will be gone," Reid said. "As of March 1 we will be facing a trigger reduction of about 5.6 percent aid."
"It continues what we've seen in almost all school districts in this state," Reid said. "Laying off teachers, reducing student services."
Reid said one of the most important student services in the 973 square mile Klamath-Trinity district is transportation, and that the general public is frustrated by the sequester.
"They feel -- and they're right -- that it's out of their control," he said. "In essence, Congress is breaking their promise to these schools."
Despite the stalemate, Reid said Huffman and Sen. Dianne Feinstein are aware of the negative impacts of a sequester.
"They've been very supportive," he said.
Humboldt County Office of Education Superintendent Garry Eagles said every school district in Humboldt County would be hit by sequester cuts.
"Klamath-Trinity is one of the districts that is most severely impacted and most immediately impacted," he said, adding that the Loleta Union School District also receives Impact Aid.
He said Impact Aid is a funding source that, if cut, would be cut immediately.
Federal funding cuts for special education programs and aid for disadvantaged youth -- known as Title I -- would not affect local school districts until the next fiscal year.
Eagles said California is facing $91 million in Title I cuts, $72 million in special education cuts and $20 million that support charter schools, English language learners, Impact Aid and other programs.
"I can't give you a specific dollar amount as to how we'd be affected," Eagles said. "Cuts are made at the state level. It depends on how it trickles down. I would expect it to be several hundred thousand dollars."
"There are gonna be job losses," Eagles said, adding that the people providing services will affected as well as the recipients. "It increases the instability of our entire community."
Eagles said reducing programs' funding without analyzing which are the most important was an irresponsible tactic.
"It's a sad situation when we can't get the federal government to be responsible and to take the action they need to take," he said.
Higher education could also take a hit, according to California State University spokesman Mike Uhlenkamp, who said that CSU faces a statewide $22 million cut.
"Obviously there's a level of concern," he said. "It would be a reduction system-wide."
Humboldt State University stands to lose $469,000 in research grant funding and $44,000 in student financial aid, according to university spokesman Paul Mann.
Humboldt County Sheriff Mike Downey said the possible sequester hasn't come up in his office.
"It hasn't been a topic we're discussing," he said. "Is there a possibility it could have an effect on grants that we are now party to? Sure it could."
Many of the sheriff's office grants are federal funds administered by the state, Downey said, including "burn funds" that are used for marijuana suppression and anti-drug abuse programs. Still, he said, perspective was needed on the amount of funding.
"It's not a huge cut in the grand scheme of things," he said. "In general I think we're seeing a reduction in services or resources from the federal government anyway. That's the problem with grants and federal and state funding. Every year it's a new game."
Humboldt County Department of Health and Human Services Director Phillip Crandall declined to speculate on the final effects of cuts.
"We won't know how the sequestration cuts would impact specific health and human services programs at the county level until the cuts are allocated to states," he wrote in an email. "Obviously we're concerned that cuts of this magnitude would hurt children's health, reduce the ability of local families to remain self-sufficient, and reduce public health emergency preparedness.
"Entitlement programs, such as Medi-Cal, CalWORKs, CalFresh, child support enforcement, and foster care are exempt from these cuts," Crandall wrote. "However, child welfare services and our workforce programs could take a hit. We're also paying close attention to the significant reductions to housing assistance programs."
Huffman said he hopes a compromise can prevent or reverse sequester cuts.
"Am I frustrated? Yeah," Huffman said. "I'm frustrated by the brinkmanship -- the sort of budgeting by crisis."
Huffman said he supports an alternative to the sequester introduced by Congressman Chris Van Hollen, D-Maryland, that would take away tax breaks from large oil companies to increase revenue.
"You can achieve the same level of deficit reduction without throwing the economy in reverse," Huffman said.
The White House this week released an updated list of the estimated hits to California this year if the sequester cuts go through:
EDUCATION -- Would lose $87.6 million in funding for primary and secondary education, putting about 1,210 teacher and aide jobs at risk. About 320 fewer schools would receive funding. In addition, schools would lose $62.9 million in funds for about 760 special-education teachers and aides. About 9,600 fewer low-income college students would receive financial aid; about 3,690 fewer students would get work-study jobs. About 8,200 children would lose Head Start and Early Head Start services.
PUBLIC SAFETY -- Would lose about $1.6 million in grants that support law enforcement, courts and anti-crime programs.
MILITARY -- About 64,000 civilian Department of Defense employees would be furloughed. Army base operation funding would be cut by $54 million. Air Force operation funding would be cut by $15 million. Maintenance and repair of five Navy ships in San Diego and aircraft depot maintenance in North Island could be canceled.
ENVIRONMENT -- Would lose about $12.4 million in clean water, air quality and anti-pollution programs. Would lose $1.9 million in grants for fish and wildlife protection.
JOB TRAINING -- Would lose about $3.3 million in funding for job search assistance and placement, cutting services to about 129,770.
CHILD CARE -- Up to 2,000 disadvantaged children could lose access to child care.
PUBLIC HEALTH -- About $1.1 million in funding for vaccines would be cut, resulting in 15,810 fewer children receiving them. Would lose $2.6 million in funds to help upgrade state's ability to respond to public health threats. Would lose about $12.4 million in grants to prevent and treat substance abuse. State health department would lose $2 million in funding, resulting in 49,300 fewer HIV tests.
DOMESTIC ABUSE -- Would lose up to $795,000 in funds that provide services to victims of domestic violence, resulting in up to 3,000 fewer victims getting those services.
SENIOR MEALS -- Would lose approximately $5.4 million in funds that provide meals for seniors.

You need to see a board certified dermatologist to determine what your lesions truly are. If they are a true wart, being caused by having the papilloma virus innoculated in the skin at one time, then evaluating underlying medical conditions would be important as well as treating the warts, as some people are less immune resistant against these lesions. If they are a molluscum virus, you may have contracted in by skin-to-skin contact. Facial treatment can create permanent scarring and long-term, if not permanent, coloration problems. Some doctors have prescribed irritating creams to help the immune system get rid of warts. Some may pare down the thickness prior to the application of medicine. Don't treat this yourself!
Lasers may cause recurrences around the warts or mollluscum. This is true as well for cryotherapy (freezing the lesions with liquid nitrogen). The warts can get bigger in diameter from these treatments.

Clinton Portis Will Start SundayPosted by on September 30, 2010 – 3:15 pm
When Clinton Portis talked to the media earlier today, he seemed slightly unsure of his role with the current Redskins offense, but willing to do whatever head coach Mike Shanahan and the rest of the coaches asked of him. "It's up to them," Portis said. "If they put me on an assignment, I do that assignment. If they don't, there ain't nothing I can do."
When reporters pressed him on the question, he passed the question up the chain of command. "For these hot topics that you're bringing up, Coach Shanahan is right upstairs," he said.
The schedule of an NFL head coach doesn't generally allow for people to burst in and ask a series of questions unannounced, but it does include a post-practice media availability. So when the team returned from practicing offsite (to stay out of the incessant rain), Shanahan fielded a series of Portis-related questions.
The most important quote first, even though that puts it out of sequence (and it's spoiled in the headline of this post):
"Yes, he is starting Sunday," Shanahan said. That was the answer to a follow-up to a question about Portis's work ethic, which the coach also took the time to praise. "He will always give you great effort. I've never been around him where he hasn't given 110%. He's one of the most competitive individuals that I've ever been around."
Shanahan also addressed the questions about Portis's decision to go down at the end of his long run in the Rams game. Or, to be more precise, he addressed the fact that the had already privately addressed that issue. "I don't get into my conversations with players," Shanahan said. "Y'know, we've talked about that before. But I addressed it at the time, I addressed it with him and felt very comfortable with the explanation; now we go on."
Part of that going on includes improving the running game and the red zone offense, and Shanahan addressed that as well. "First of all, it's not time to panic," Shanahan said. "You asked me that two weeks ago, and all of sudden we averaged over six yards a carry the next game. We're trying to get better each week. Y'know, this is an ongoing process. It's a coordination of a lot of different people working together. I don't care if it's the offensive line, tight ends, wide receivers, quarterbacks, it just doesn't happen overnight. I thought we made some improvement, at least in the first half. Second half was a little bit different. We got behind a little bit, didn't make some of the plays and had to go a little bit different attack. But hopefully we can keep on getting better in the running game."

Does the general influence and access that large political donors may have with elected officials amount to government corruption?
A majority of the U.S. Supreme Court said "no." A minority said "yes."
The majority said government may restrict campaign finances to prevent corruption or an appearance of corruption, but it said corruption is limited to a direct exchange of money for an official act.
The minority said that definition of corruption is too narrow and should be broadened to include political influence.
In the 5-4 decision issued Wednesday, the Supreme Court struck down a law that capped at $123,200 the total amount that an individual could contribute per two-year election cycle to candidates for federal office and federally registered party committees and political action committees.
The Supreme Court ruled individuals can donate as much as they wish as long as they abide by legal limits on direct contributions to each individual candidate or committee.
The decision means an individual can contribute a total of up to $3.6 million this election cycle to candidates for the U.S. House and Senate and federally registered party committees. The $3.6 million represents the maximum legal donations to each candidate and committee.
The Supreme Court ruling comes four years after its Citizens United decision, which freed corporations, unions and others to raise and spend as much as they want on elections as long as they don't coordinate with candidates.
The court has held that campaign contributions are political speech and political association protected by the First Amendment and that government may restrict donations only to protect against corruption or the appearance of corruption.
And in the opinion issued Wednesday, the Supreme Court made it clear that when it is talking about corruption, it means a direct exchange of money for an official act.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote:
"In a series of cases over the past 40 years, we have spelled out how to draw the constitutional line between the permissible goal of avoiding corruption in the political process and the impermissible desire simply to limit political speech. We have said that government regulation may not target the general gratitude a candidate may feel toward those who support him or his allies, or the political access such support may afford."
Roberts also wrote, "Money in politics may at times seem repugnant to some, but so too does much of what the First Amendment vigorously protects."
The chief justice wrote that were was a "substantial mismatch" between the government's interest in preventing corruption and the cap on the total amount an individual could contribute to candidates and committees.
The cap, Roberts wrote, restricted how many candidates or committees an individual can support with maximum allowable contributions.
"The Government may no more restrict how many candidates or causes a donor may support than it may tell a newspaper how many candidates it may endorse," Roberts wrote.
The Supreme Court case was brought by a conservative donor and the Republican National Committee.
In a dissenting opinion, Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the majority opinion relied heavily on a narrow definition of corruption that excluded efforts by political donors to obtain influence or access to officials or political parties.
Breyer wrote:
"In reality, as the history of campaign finance reform shows and as our earlier cases on the subject have recognized, the anticorruption interest that drives Congress to regulate campaign contributions is a far broader, more important interest. … It is an interest in maintaining the integrity of our public government institutions."
Campaign finance restrictions should be seen as a means to strengthen the First Amendment, rather than weaken it, the justice wrote. "Where enough money calls the tune, the general public will not be heard," he said.
Breyer also said:
"Taken together with Citizens United … today's decision eviscerates our Nation's campaign finance laws, leaving a remnant incapable of dealing with the grave problems of democratic legitimacy that those laws were intended to resolve."

If I'm a 32 Band U.S. Bra Size (27/28 Inch Ribcage) How Many Cc's to Increase 1 Cup Size?
Doctor Answers 10
Implant size?
Good communication between you and your surgeon of your expectations is warranted - choosing your surgeon wisely is the first step. Discussion of your wishes and having an honest and open dialog of your procedure is mandatory (e.g, implant type, incision, placement, lift, etc). I have found that photographs brought by the patient is helpful to get a visualization of the appearance you wish for in terms of size, shape, fullness, etc. In addition, your surgeon's pre and postoperative photographs should demonstrate a realistic goal for you. Once this has been accomplished, allow your surgeon to utilize his/her best medical judgment during the procedure to finesse the best possible result for you after preoperative biodimensional planning and fitting the right implant for your breast width.
Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!
One cup size change
About 200 cc's are needed for you to increase one cup size.You should discuss this with your board certified plastic surgeon.
Breast implants, breast augmentation

How many cc to increase one breast size?
Usually the normal number is somewhere between 150-200cc to increase the cup size. However, when a breast augmentation is being done there are technical issues as well, creating fullness, cleavage or also if the patient has loose skin, meaning that they had volume loss over the years, need to replace that volume loss. So considering all these things , occasionally 150-200cc may not be enough, we may need to put a little bit more than 200cc depending on the patient type.
Implants and cup size
Typically a volume of 150-200 ccs will increase your breast by one cup size, although this volume requirement varies based on body frame and existing breast volume.
Cup size and implants
it is very difficult to "size you up" without performing an exam and going over your surgical goals. There is not exact volume per cup size, but they probably go up about 150-200 cc/cup .

Bra Size after Breast Augmentation
It used to be that we could tell you about how many cc's it would take to increase you a bra size based on your measurement around the rib cage below the breasts. For someone your size this would have taken 100-125 cc's. Now it is impossible to determine since each bra manufacturer uses their own rules about bra cup size. Therefore, now, you need to be more specific than simply discussing desired bra cup size. You need to discuss, at length, in general terms, what size you would like to be and trust your Plastic Surgeon to pick the right size. Another alternative is to use sizers in a loose bra to determine about what size you desire. This, with further discussion, will determine the size of implant used.

It is very important that although numbers are helpful, you cannot generalize ccs to cup size. You frame, skin type, elasticity, previous pregnancies, as well as the bra manufacturer all go into the final cup size. The best way to make this decision is to go in for an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon and try on different implants to get a better answer on what implant is best for you.
Best of luck

Volume needed to increase one cup size
This is difficult to answer without knowing your breast skin quality or current volume. You may however need at least 150-200 cc's to increase your cup size by one cup. A board certified plastic surgeon can help you with the sizing process by having you try on different sized implants. I use 3D imaging which gives a very accurate simulation of what a certain implant will look like on your specific frame/body.
Best wishes,

Everything about our stay was great.
Very clean and comfy room. Lovely lobby area and dining room which served an excellent breakfast. We loved being able to help yourself to extra tea/coffee etc for the room and thought the free toiletries if you had forgotton anything was a great idea. The manager Jamie was outstanding and really made our short visit extra special.

Originally booked and paid for 3 nights, but telephoned to cancel two of them not wanting a refund.
Trouble checking in for the one remaining night that I had booked and paid for. Found the room to be a twin instead of the double I wanted. On checking out they tried to charge me, having no record of previous payment, and saying I was a no show. Finally got it sorted. Breakfast was a mess and not enjoyable.

Our Last Minute Stay
Although we only booked the room at 10am on the day of arrival we had a choice of room.
The main reason for our stay was to attend a concert at the NEC. The location was near enough to walk to and even though we arrived back at the hotel at 11.45 they kept the bar open which was much appreciated.

In easy reach of genting arena, polite staff
Genting Arena
Me and my daughter stayed 1 night as we were seeing a band at The Genting Arena .
The hotel was great , the staff were friendly and helpful , the room was lovely and clean and at breakfast there was plenty of choice between sausage bacon egg or fruit yoghurt and cereal . Overall I couldn't fault the hotel itself at all . The only negative point for us was how far it was from The Genting Arena . We were going to walk but the hotel receptionist said we would need a taxi and she was dead right . Its nearly 2 miles on foot and takes at least half an hour and there are no foot paths . We found this out after the show as we couldn't get a taxi back . Overall a great hotel but be aware of the distance to the arena.

Got Sex? Just Can't Get Enough
Some Women Have A Higher Sex Drive Than Men. Find Out More About How To Meet Her Needs
spontaneous sexWhen a partner's significant other doesn't fulfill their every sexual desire, agony and frustration begin to set in. All they want is to be ravished by their lover, but instead, they get a roll over and the occasional heavy breathing due to deep sleep.
You must be asking yourself, Why doesn't the woman just leave him and find herself a sexual equivalent? . It's not that simple because with love comes compromise and couples must reach a win-win arrangement; long, spontaneous, sensual, aggressive lovemaking a few times a week. Although some partners would like it more than a few times a week, they inevitably love their mate enough to fantasize about and anticipate the next session.
lovemaking specimenWe live in an age of strong women who have come to the very significant realization that orgasm is not a luxury anymore. These driven women are not rare specimens and there are many sexually sentient, resilient women out there. Sex plays a major role in our self-confidence and our happiness as a species.
Women's privates can be considered warm fuzzy fruit where the peach is always fresh for the picking. This sexual prowess is a wonderful gift: between physical energy and emotional love that comes with sexual sessions, women's awareness has become enhanced through sexual endeavors. The heart begins to pound, sweat beads form around the face, the lips swell and throb, and the mind envisions red, smoky clouds.
It's as though for the time being, women are in a complete Utopia and everything is blissfully exquisite. Sex is not just a spectator sport for women anymore and they won't take it lying down; wait, on second thought, they might.

Jenny Levine posted her experiences with speaking at ALA and PLA. I've had two similar experiences:
1. Spoke at ALA, wasn't a member. Luckily, my library paid my way, so I had airfare and hotel funding. But ALA was terribly strict about my non-member status – I could only attend the exhibit hall for one day (and couldn't go to any other program that day).
2. Invited to speak at PLA, wasn't a member. Library couldn't fund… ALA/PLA didn't want to fund… I didn't speak.
If that's not bad enough, I know of at least one state library association who does the same thing. Why on earth do they do this? "Well… that's what ALA does…"
ALA – you are supposed to be a shining example of how to do IT right (whatever IT might be). Other associations look to you for guidance. Please – DO IT RIGHT. Conference speakers are INTEGRAL to a conference. At $130 – 235 a person for registration * 20,00 attendees… plus 900 exhibitors * however much you charge them for booths… I'd think you'd be able to AT LEAST waive the conference fee.
At least.

Infant Voice Over Internet Protocol Takes Grown-up Steps Into Space
High-speed, space-based system to link international populace with vessels and other planets.
Researchers are adapting voice over Internet protocol technology to establish communication between Earth and spacecraft, satellites, and, perhaps someday, other planets. Using modified commercial approaches, scientists will design space-based and mobile Internet standards that provide access to science mission data and interactive communication with inhabited and uninhabited spacecraft. These technologies also will become the connection to a future Mars-based communications infrastructure.
New technology, more demanding mission objectives and decreasing budgets are driving dramatic changes across many segments of the space community. These changes mandate a reorganization of the way space communication is executed and require more active public-private partnerships to help achieve research and mission goals. A space-based Internet is one step toward the success of advanced missions.
Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) creates an opportunity to merge the Internet and space communications communities. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Cisco Systems, headquartered in San Jose, California, have teamed to research and implement new data communications technology using the convergence of voice, video and data through a satellite connection.
According to experts working with space communications protocol standards, space missions have always required the reliable, secure transfer of messages between space and ground. In the past, these requirements have been met by combining custom-designed software with control by human operators. A space mission operations environment comprises both ground and space information infrastructures, which then presents a much different environment. In space, relatively few end systems and networks exist, and their performance is far below that of ground nodes.
Experimental technologies that characterize the NASA/Cisco project include modifying existing commercial standard protocols, including asynchronous transfer mode and transmission control protocol/Internet protocol over broadband satellite links. As a result, NASA will develop and enhance the use of the Internet over space-based telecommunications networks in the national and global information infrastructure. The government agency aims to fully exploit emerging global broadband satellites and especially hybrid networks.
William D. Ivancic, senior research engineer, Glenn Research Center, NASA, Cleveland, Ohio, relates that a long-term goal of the interplanetary Internet is to create a ubiquitous, space-friendly Internet protocol for use in shuttlecraft, space stations, earth observation satellites, and eventually on other planets. The technology will speed up the acquisition of research data while reducing costs, which will allow for the customization of communications packages for different craft. The interplanetary Internet also will support increased robotic exploration and establish a framework for enhanced human presence in space.
To accomplish these short- and long-term goals, the NASA/Cisco team is using advanced software engineering and an established Internet testbed to address several topics, Ivancic shares. Researchers are examining protocol header compression, moving satellites, error-prone and congested networks, and terrestrial-based methods of roaming focused in a space-based environment.
Much of this work is being done in a space communications concept laboratory known as the in-space Internet node testbed. The facility simulates a terrestrial network using the Internet to connect to space-based IP nodes for data, voice and video communications. One application involves transmitting VoIP with the ground-side voice module attached to the NASA Glenn Center's private branch exchange. NASA then runs VoIP to the space side of the network using the same satellite used for data, and voice and data are transmitted simultaneously. An advanced communication technology satellite (ACTS) T1 link is currently used in this laboratory environment. The terrestrial side of the network uses a 100 baseT for communications. A 900-megahertz cordless telephone and a laptop that uses a 100 baseT network are attached to a router. This equipment will be placed in a spacecraft, allowing the infant VoIP technology to take a new step. Although VoIP testing currently is not fully implemented in space, the ACTS technology used in testing is live, with the data network operating through space.
According to Daniel Shell, consulting system engineer, Federal Advanced Technologies, Wireless and Satellite, Cisco Systems, Cleveland, Ohio, many challenges remain. For example, when a person speaks over satellite links, a delay occurs because the message cannot travel faster than the speed of light. The greater the distance, the longer the delay (see page 69). The VoIP designer also must consider buffer sizes, packet sizes and the packet loss rate. Large packet sizes and buffers increase the delay.
Bandwidth constraint is another challenge. "You are not going to get an infinite amount of bandwidth because the bandwidth is the size of the pipe," Shell notes. "You hear about Ethernet, which runs at a 10-megabit-per-second pipe--that's standard Ethernet. When you're talking to a shuttle, you might get something less for your shuttle to ground communication such as the kilobits per second range. It's OK, but not like megabits. Your bandwidth is smaller when you're talking to devices farther out. Let's say we're talking to Mars. It takes a strong signal to reach the planet. That's a bandwidth constraint based on power," he explains.
Noise on space links, despite existing correction codes, also must be overcome. In an Internet hookup, external noise is picked up from equipment in the vicinity, including electrical transformers, the atmosphere and items in space. In an Internet environment, noise slows down the data transfer rate because the system must adjust its speed to match conditions on the line.
Noise is a more significant problem in wireless technologies. In general, noise originating from outside the system is inversely proportional to the frequency and directly proportional to the wavelength. At a low frequency such as 300 kilohertz, atmospheric noise is much more severe than at a high frequency such as 300 megahertz.
Engineers are striving to develop better ways to address the noise issues. The traditional method has been to minimize the signal bandwidth. The less spectrum space a signal occupies, the less noise passes through the receiving circuitry. However, this approach limits the maximum speed at which messages can be delivered.
Security is another concern, Shell says. If an experiment on a space vessel is being run remotely from Earth, the goal is to prevent tampering. Link encryption, end-to-end encryption, implicit access controls based on key management, and embedded security labels are some of the approaches under consideration.
Ivancic notes the relevance of the protocol research to the scientist as well as to the other users. "The proposed research crosses space science, earth science, and human exploration and development of space enterprises. This will allow a more robust and autonomous communication structure for colonies of intelligent robots, rovers, balloon and aircraft systems, sensor webs, access to knowledge, interspacecraft communications, and Internet connections to the international space station and space shuttles," he shares.
Experts also predict the protocol will increase educational possibilities. It will provide an opportunity to interact with scientists and researchers in space, and researchers even envision instructors teaching directly from space shuttles or from an orbiting space platform using VoIP technology. "This is the wonderful extreme of distance learning," remarks Jim Massa, director of global government alliances, Cisco Systems, Herndon, Virginia.
Remote experiments could also be conducted. Data would be collected and used to monitor long-term environmental changes on Earth. For example, a farmer could examine pollution effects, weather predictions and vegetation to predict future market conditions. To accomplish this, users would need to communicate with a spacecraft to establish and monitor experiments.
Massa notes that the project is the result of a successful government and industry team. The public-private partnership is often talked about, but results are not always obvious, he explains. Many times industry and government will work together in an environment like that of a task force, and the completed work is difficult to measure.
"When you are able to have communication over a single network, and that includes data and voice, it's very tangible. You are able to reduce the cost of a mission and every mission that follows by several percentage points because you can eliminate a whole communications system [by using existing commercial technology] that had to be [designed] from the ground up. That can only be done when government and industry work together. Neither one of us could do that without the other," he concludes.

I love Flor, I've blogged about it before, and it's great. However, after 2 years, my Fedora in the living room was looking a little worse for ware. Having 2 cats seems to shorten the lifespan of carpet tiles, but I hoped that they would last a bit longer than 2 years. I'm going to use the red and green tiles from my bedroom in the attic storage space, so they last yet.
I didn't want to just get a new color, and since I don't really care for the patterns Flor offers in my price range (though I love the Girard collection,) I decided to create a custom rug!
(I laid out the design in InDesign, then simply cut six tiles on the diagonal with a knife and large metal ruler)
I'm totally jumping on the triangle bandwagon with my design, but it came out so freaking awesome! It brightens up the space and adds more color! (and is very close to white, whiter than I expected, so I have huge fears about maintaining it's cleanliness, but we'll just have to play it out)

The absolute n00b guide to installing applications

The absolute n00b guide to installing applications
So you just got your brand new iLiad, or maybe you've had it for a while but have grown comfortable enough that you'd like to install one of the community applications. Below, I'll detail a step by step guide on how to setup your iLiad to install a new application to it.
First, a few notes: You've paid a lot for your iLiad and you don't want to break it. This fact alone prevents a lot of people from trying out new programs. There is good news though. If something should happen while installing or running an application. You should be able to restore your iLiad. You will need a compact flash (CF) card. I recommend anyone who's planning to install community applications to buy a CF card. You can pick up a 1 Gigabyte card at any electronics store for under $30 US. You should place all of your applications, along with the files needed to do a reflash should anything go wrong.
This guide is extremely detailed. It's actually a lot easier than it looks.
With that out of the way, lets get started:
The first thing you will need to do is connect to IDS. To do this, you will need either a wired, or wireless network connection.
Create an IDS profile here:
Fill in your e-mail address in the field and click on 'Send'.
You will receive an automatic e-mail with a password in your e-mail inbox.
Take your iLiad and enter your e-mail address and the password you received into the 'iLiad Settings'.
Create a (wired or wireless) network profile on your iLiad using the Wizard.
You can now connect to the iDS by pressing the connect key on your iLiad for 2 seconds.
Once you see your iLiad connect, it should tell you that there's either nothing to download, or it will install any updates it finds.
Now you will need to sign up for the developer package. This will give you the ability to run programs, and will also program your iLiad with what you need to reflash it from a CF card in case something goes wrong.
To sign up for the developer package visit this page:
If you've successfully connected to IDS in the past, your MAC address should appear in the "Select MAC Address" drop down box.
If it does not appear, verify your email address and password in the settings screen on your iLiad, and connect to the IDS again.
After you have selected your MAC address, click "Send Developer Package".
This link does not work in Safari! If you are on a Mac, you will need to use Firefox or IE
Now, connect to the IDS on your iLiad. You should see a message saying "Downloading Developer Package".
After it installs, your iLiad should automatically reboot.
Now that your iLiad has rebooted, it should start up like normal, but you won't see anything different. You'll need to try to install an application to make sure it worked.
The first program you should try to install is mrxvt.
This is a terminal application. Simlar to a DOS prompt on a windows computer.
I like to test with this program because it doesn't require anything special other than the developer package to run.
Download mrxvt
in this thread
You will need to unzip the download on your computer. Windows XP and up has zip functionality built in. If you need an unzipping program, I suggest 7zip.
Once you have unzipped the program, you should see a folder called "mrxvt".
Simply copy this folder to the internal memory or CF card on your iLiad.
Browse to the correct directory from your iLiad, and select the line that says "mrxvt: Command Shell".
If all went well, it should open up a terminal along with your keyboard. If you don't know anything about linux, I suggest you click the "X" to close it, or type "exit" and hit enter.
So now you have shell access, and you've run your first application. Many apps use the unzip and run process of installing. However, others are more complicated and include an installer. This is the case with a popular 3rd party viewer I've ported called FBReader. I will walk you through the installation of this.
Download FBReader from
this thread
Unzip it, and copy the folder called "fbreaderinst" to the Compact Flash (or other flash memory) card on your iLiad.
For FBReader, and other installers, it's important to use a CF card, USB key, or MMC card. If you install it to the main memory of the iLiad, you may run into problems with the screen refresh.
On your iLiad, browse to where you have copied the installer. You should see an item called "Install FBReader". Select it.
It will take a little bit of time to install. At that time, you will see the green light flash, and the bars moving across the bottom. After it is installed it will tell you "FBReader has been installed".
You can safely delete the "fbreaderinst" folder on your iLiad.
Now, to run FBReader, browse to the "Programs" directory that the installer created on your memory card. Inside there, you will see a launcher for FBReader. Simply select it, and it will start.
Here, you can use the FBReader library to add books, or if your prefer, install the FBReader Registry Modifications to open books directly from the contentlister (aka the way you open PDF's and Mobipocket books).
Hopefully you now understand how to install 3rd party programs on your iLiad. You can read
this post
where I cover reflashing your iLiad in case something goes wrong and your iLiad won't boot.
Feel free to comment, and let me know if there are any confusing areas or things that need to be improved upon.
There have been reports of constant reboot problems after installing. If that should happen take a look at this guide.
You might need to use the format option if your registry is corrupt.

Kia Troubleshooting Questions? Ask a Mechanic
Hello I will help you with your question,
Place the pulley of the alternator facing down and jack the engine up a little by the oil pan and the alternator should come out the bottom behind the axle but if you remove the axle use a bar and a large hammer to strike the housing of the center joint sharply and it will separate. I usually remove the three bolts from the center support to the engine block (top bolt is tough though) and slide the while axle out of the transmission then you have plenty of room.
Please let me know how I can help you
Thank you
Hi George,
Thank you for the help so far. I have tried to remove the alternator from the bottom, with the axle still in, but I just can't see an exit point.
Also, what part should I be striking on the center shaft? I've attached a couple pics if that will help. Thanks again!Attachments are only available to registered users.Register HereAttachments are only available to registered users.Register Here
Attachments are only available to registered users.
The shell of the joint is where you strike. Use a bar about 1 foot long against the shell and strike the bar with a 3 lb hammer. Two or three blows should free the axle. The diagram of the shaft is below
Click here for diagram
Then brass looking ring on the center bearing is a dust cap and will bend if you pry or hit so keep your pressure away from those.
You picture shows a lot of oil on the alternator and that is likely why it is failed.
Let me know how I can help

Kai Ryssdal: R.J. Reynolds joined in the stock market fun today -- shares were up 1.4 percent. But the cigarette company's been taking some heat for its ads lately, specifically the ones targeting young women smokers.
Reynolds has announced it's going to stop advertising in newspapers and magazines next year. Marketplace's Janet Babin reports from North Carolina Public Radio:
Janet Babin: Cigarette ads aim to be cutting-edge. The latest R.J. ads to raise eyebrows are for Camel No. 9 -- cigarettes targeted to young women and advertised in fashion magazines. Professor Stanton Glantz at the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education says the ads use stylized feminine images to attract new smokers.
Stanton Glantz: It takes brilliant marketing to get people to poison themselves.
Glantz says he's pleased that the ads won't be in print. But he thinks R.J. is just shifting its marketing to the Internet and direct mail, where it can more effectively reach young eyeballs.
Glantz: This isn't a concession by Reynolds at all.
Some lawmakers had been calling for a ban on print images, but the company falls short of saying it made the decision to appease them. Here's R.J. Reynolds spokeswoman Jan Smith:
Jan Smith: Tobacco social issues are a factor in every business decision we make. But this decision is really driven by what we think is the best approach for our marketing programs in 2008.
Tobacco print ads were on the wane, anyway. According to TNS Media Intelligence, R.J. Reynolds spent $52 million in advertising in 2006, but just over $13 million was spent on newspaper and magazine ads.
Nat Ives with Advertising Age says R.J. Reynolds won't suffer from the decision.
Nat Ives: For one thing, they're going to shift their marketing to other circles and strategies.
Maybe the new approach is working -- smoking had been on the decline in the U.S., but for the past few years, it's been steady. I'm Janet Babin for Marketplace.

Minor League Update
Games of Thursday, June 27
Pitching Prospect of the Day: Brooks Pounders, RHP, Royals (Double-A Northwest Arkansas): 9.0 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K. Pounders is not a major prospect, but the no-hitter is impressive. He's a guy that could get a cup of coffee in the big leagues and end up as a swingman, or be a guy who frequently goes up and down.
Position Prospect of the Day: Grant Green, 2B, Athletics (Triple-A Sacramento): 2-4, 2 HR, 2 R, 4 RBI. I spoke with a scout the other day about Green, and he said, "I know he is putting up better numbers this year playing in the PCL, and I'm not sure I believe in him as a successful everyday candidate"; .432/.468/.886 with 6 2B, 1 3B, and 4 HR in last 44 at-bats.
Other notable prospect performances on June 27:
"The Good"
"The Bad"
"The Ugly"
Victor Roache, OF, Brewers (Low-A Wisconsin): 0-5, 3 K; Roache has the power, but he will have to make more contact for it to play.

For Hultzen to come out of the gate after missing 2+ months and just throw up a 6, 2, 0, 0, 1, 6 line on 78 pitches in the PCL says something about how far he's progressed since last fall.

It's one outing. Ricky Romero also had a couple of nice outings in the minor leagues recently before reverting to form.

Oklahoma class highlights: Trey Metoyer gets second chance, could be class' top performer
Best recruit of the class: Trey Metoyer
The 6-2, 200-pound wide receiver originally signed with the Sooners a year ago but failed to gain academic eligibility. Before spending a season at Hargrave Military Academy, Metoyer was ranked at the No. 2 receiver in the country by Rivals.com, posting 1,304 yards and 21 touchdowns his senior year at Whitehouse. He will be one of the top candidates to replace Ryan Broyles.
Potential sleeper of the class: Chaz Nelson
The junior college transfer is already enrolled at OU and that's good news for a defensive unit that must replace pass rushers like Frank Alexander and Ronnell Lewis. The 6-3, 240-pound defensive end should be able to contribute right away, adding depth behind seniors R.J. Washington and David King.
Biggest need unfulfilled of the class: Defense
It's really that simple. Of the 25 commitments the Sooners had as of Wednesday morning, only seven are on the defensive side of the ball. With former defensive coordinator Brent Venables leaving two weeks ago to take the same position at Clemson, new coordinator Mike Stoops was left with little time to recruit.
