For those who've never been, Electronics West is one of seven shows (including EW, Medical Design and Manufacturing West, Pacific Design and Manufacturing West, Automation Technology Expo West, Plastec West, West Pack, and Green Manufacturing West) co-located within the Anaheim Convention Center. One badge earned admittance to all, so from 10-12 February, I "attended" each.
One could feel the economic downturn at Electronics West. The "swag" was limited to free pens and cheap samples. But companies used other methods to attract passer-bys. Epson set up a Craps table with robot dealers. There was the requisite underwater tech that's a staple of every industry show. Another company had people in Star Wars costumes—entirely un-related to their product, but eye-catching. What caught my eye was the proliferation of consumer 3D printers.
The technology behind rapid prototyping, which spawned 3D Printers, has existed since the late 80's. But early 3D Printers were hulking monstrosities, costing $100,000 or more. Like early computers, they weren't for the average Joe. Only in recent years have 3D Printers become affordable for small businesses. While the term "rapid prototyping" is relative, as 3D print jobs can take hours, even days, the tech has evolved.
Dimension was showcasing their uPrint Personal 3D Printer. uPrint claims to put "3D printing right on your desk" (a large desk, that is), and at 25 in. x 26 in., it's a "huge" improvement over its predecessors. Best of all is the price tag: $14,900 (though this doesn't include "options"). Dimension claims their ABSplus plastic is "made to stand up to functional testing under real-world conditions, and can be drilled, machined, sanded, painted, even chrome-plated." Replacement ABSplus Material Cartridges are $250 per color (with nine options, including Natural, White, Black, Dark Grey, Red, Red, Blue, Nectarine Orange, Florescent Yellow, and Olive Green).
Alibre gave me a demonstration of their Computer-aided design (CAD) software. As everyone knows, CAD software is used to create prototype designs that can be actualized with a 3D Printer. Alibre is marketing their software to enterprising designers (who now have access to affordable 3D Printers). The Alibre Design package runs from $999 for Design Standard to $1,999 for Design Expert.
ZCorporation drew the most attention with models from their ZPrinter. As mentioned in my photoblog, ZCorp knows their audience—they prominently featured several 3D Stormtrooper helmets. It's like they think Star Wars is popular among engineers or something. The detail in these objects (which also included a T-Rex and a computer mouse) was extraordinary, but so is the price. The monochrome ZPrinter 310 Plus (their "affordable" model) has a MSRP of $19,900. But for the Stormtrooper, you'd need the Z510 or the 650, which run $49,900 and $59,900, respectively. Compared to old 3D printers, these are bargains, but the uPrint may be more attractive to small businesses.
Visit www.ecnmag.com/Electronics-West-2009.aspx for my Electronics West photoblog, including pics of the aforementioned Stormtrooper. See you next year!

Meet The Jazz Audience: Frankie Graves
In the last few decades, June has become the busiest month for jazz in New York City, home to the biggest jazz scene in the world. But who is actually going to these shows? A small team of Bloggers Supreme has been attending the festivities — primarily, the CareFusion Jazz Festival New York. In between our reports on various goings-on, we'll be talking to the some of the people who are actually in the audience. We start off every conversation with the simple question: how did you hear about this show? And be sure to check out more of our Meet The Jazz Audience series. —Ed.
Frankie Graves, 77
Performer: Winard Harper
Venue: Schomburg Center (Harlem)
Date: Sunday, Jun. 20, 2010 (Father's Day)
How did you find out about this Winard Harper concert? There's a lady that lives in my building that puts out a monthly newsletter, and she tries to include the musical concerts ... jazz concerts. I learn about it through there.
What did you think of the show? Wonderful. [Winard Harper]'s always fantastic. I never miss him. Anywhere he is, I try to see him.
What in particular do you like about him? He's an excellent musician. He seems to be a wonderful human being. He has a number of children. [Eleven, in fact. —Ed.] He seems to be a good father, a good husband. And you don't often find that in a lot of men, not only musicians (laughs).
How did you get into jazz? Oh, I've always been into jazz. My family always loved music. And we had Lil Green "In the Dark" and all those old records. And my brother-in-law had a club in Orlando, Fla., and he had a lot of musicians come into there. And in high school and college ... I just love it.

Fired up over fire fee
October 17, 2012
Nevada County resident Barbara Brown is fed up.
She is elderly and living on the modest income she receives from Social Security checks.
"I am supporting my grandchildren and this just really hurts," Brown said of the bill she received in the mail on Tuesday for $115.
Brown said the California Department of Fire and Forestry is unfairly targeting rural areas in an attempt to balance its dwindling budget.
"... this fire fee is really double taxation."
— Barbara Brown,
Nevada County resident
"Property taxes already go into the general fund to fund Cal Fire, so this fire fee is really double taxation," Brown said. The bill Brown and others living within the State Responsibility Area in Nevada County was for the 2011-2012 fiscal year.

"I'm afraid I'll get billed again," she said. "What really makes me angry is that if you don't pay by Nov. 2, they start charging penalties for late payment. It seems like very short notice."
Brown is not the only one who feels unfairness regarding the SRA Fee.
The Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association in conjunction with numerous plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in Sacramento Superior Court claiming the fee is an illegal tax that should have required a two-thirds vote of the California Legislature rather than the simple majority vote it received in 2011, according to the Associated Press.
The lawsuit names Cal Fire, which decides who pays, and the state Board of Equalization, which distributed the bills earlier this month.
"When this thing is all done, it's going to be a monumental waste of time and money," said Jon Coupal, president of the taxpayers association.
More than 825,000 rural properties are being assessed the annual fee, the AP reported.
The Office of Legislative Counsel ruled that the charge on property owners is a fee because it directly pays for specific state services. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office recommended that the state collect money from homeowners who directly benefit from the state's firefighting efforts.
"The fee provides a much-needed and stable funding source to prevent these devastating wildfires, especially like those we've seen this year," said Daniel Berlant, Cal Fire spokesman. "Preventing fires saves lives and homes, and we know that this funding is essential."
Berlant added that the fee is to maintain current service levels, not to add additional personnel or programs.
In 2012, Cal Fire has spent $148 million on large, out-of-control wildfires. That exceeds the $93 million allotted for such fires in the state budget, and the balance will come out of the state's budget reserve.
The general fund, which funnels money to Cal Fire, is susceptible to fluctuations in the economy, Berlant said.
"It's why this fee is so essential — it establishes a steady source of income.
"Every year this state sees devastating fires and it seems like year after year we are seeing more of them," he said.
Berlant said the SRA fee was allocated to areas where Cal Fire has a larger responsibility in "preventing and suppressing wildfires."
In rural areas where there is already a local fire district providing service, a $35 discount was implemented, meaning residents are charged $115 per year.
The Nevada County Consolidated Fire District, one of the districts that provides service to the area's rural residents, officially opposed the implementation of the state agency's fee, saying it "will impose additional financial burden on its constituents without providing additional fire services."
Barbara Brown said residents like her will be less likely to pass local tax measures due to having to pay the annual fee to the state.
In a news release, Consolidated officials said homeowners within its boundaries already pay local taxes and fees for year-round protection.
"If it is the will of the state Legislature to reduce the burden on the state's general fun for Cal Fire costs, an alternative and more equitable mechanism is necessary," said Warren Knox, Chairman of Consolidated's board of directors.
The Regional Council of Rural Counties, a body with representatives from 32 of California's rural counties, also formally opposes the SRA fee.
County Assessor offices from the 32 counties are reporting a sharp spike in resident phone calls "as a result of incorrect, inaccurate and unwarranted billings," the RCRC stated in a Oct. 12 news release.
The RCRC has sent a letter to the state Board of Equalization requesting the suspension of the 20 percent penalty for late payment in light of the errors on many of the bills.

T. L. of Old Town asks "I recently purchased a house on five acres and thought I got a pretty good deal. However, a few weeks after I bought the place, I found out that somebody had been murdered in the house and it gave me the creeps. I don't want to live in it anymore. Is there anything I can do to get my money back? Isn't there a law which requires a seller to disclose something like that?

Eric Allison
Eric Allison is the Guardian's prison correspondent.
He was born in Manchester, 1942, the youngest of four boys. His first conviction was for housebreaking when he was 11 and, at 14, he received his first custodial sentence. Three months in a detention centre was intended to provide a "short sharp shock" to deter him but instead he met up with virtually every member of the "class of 57" during his criminal/penal journey, which ended in 2000. Eric Allison has spent some 16 years in prison, all for theft related offences. During that time he quickly became appalled at the bad treatment handed out to people who had not "chosen" crime as a career and witnessed acts of brutality and racism on an almost daily basis. As a result he decided to speak out and took action against the abuse. He discovered that the adage "the pen is mightier … " proved particularly accurate in prison and, following the Strangeways Prison Riot, in 1990, he co-authored a book on the protest, A Serious Disturbance. The book was used by several education authorities as A-level course work (Sociology). In 2003 Eric Allison joined the Guardian as the prison correspondent.

Sydney - Australia on Friday won the right to host the world gay rugby championships in Sydney in 2014, with organisers hoping the event will help address homophobia in sport.
The Sydney Convicts Rugby Club, Australia's first gay rugby union team, said the International Gay Rugby Association and Board had announced it had the rights to host the seventh bi-annual Bingham Cup.
"When the Bingham Cup is played in Sydney it will further dispel the myth that gay men cannot play tough contact sport," head of the Sydney bid committee, Andrew Purchas, said.
"The tournament will shine a national spotlight on homophobia in sport, which is still endemic to many of our country's sporting fields and experienced by young gay athletes."
Officials said that the wide support in sports-mad Australia - from Prime Minister Julia Gillard down - for the tournament was remarkable and highlighted Australia's willingness to tackle homophobia on the pitch.
"In many respects the Bingham Cup is more than just a rugby tournament," said former Wallaby captain and supporter of the Sydney bid John Eales.
"It is an important demonstration of mutual respect and diversity which has always been part of the rugby community.
"Regardless of the football code you would like to play, sexuality should be irrelevant consideration.
"Unfortunately this is not a reality and there is still work to be done to eliminate negative stereotypes and homophobia in sport".
The Bingham Cup is named after American gay rugby player Mark Bingham, who died on United Airlines Flight 93 when it crashed into a Pennsylvania field during the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.
The Sydney Convicts Rugby Club, winners of the 2012 Bingham Cup, led the bid to host the week-long event which will see up to 40 teams and 1 500 players, coaches and supporters visit Sydney.

Trust is a two-way street
While timing may not be everything, it certainly is crucial and sometimes revealing. That's how I approach the timing of the National Park Service's decision last week to prohibit the transportation of fuels to the Glade Park community through the Colorado National Monument.
The timing and manner of the decision really is revealing for those who are cautious about the push to turn the monument into a national park. Proponents of the change have said that little would be altered if park status were bestowed upon our area. Those in the community who are worried that increased powers coming from a change in status might lead to overreach have been told that their concern is unwarranted.
Apparently that might not be the case.
The Park Service arrived at its decision allegedly after listening sessions with Glade Park residents, who apparently were happy to suggest that one of the two routes to bring them heating products during the icy winters should be off-limits.
I'm sure there are a couple of folks in the mix who, like the Obama administration, have an allergy to hydrocarbon fuels and an aversion to the internal combustion engine. But I doubt it's anything close to a majority of the residents.
The Park Service cited the need to prevent an accident involving a fuel truck on the winding roads that make up part of the monument's main access as the basis of its decision. However, I'm not aware of an example to justify the prohibition.
This is an opportunity to learn more about the manner of the Park Service's decision-making. Would an arguably more powerful national park take into account the needs of the local community?
This feeling of general uneasiness is indicative of a growing mistrust of government in general and the federal government in particular.
There seems to be a sense of capriciousness and heavy-handedness in response to issues, which raises concerns any time the national government is involved in a situation.
Many people are rightly concerned about escalated responses to what seem like fairly benign situations involving the federal government.
The Cliven Bundy episode in Nevada is an example. It's hard to determine who mashed the accelerator on the situation first but there's no denying a volatile state of affairs was, in part, created because so many citizens were prepared to believe that federal authorities were capable of taking a drastic action.
I don't think that's often the case but is more a side effect of a feeling of lawlessness coming from the upper echelons of government.
Lawlessness doesn't just mean a Dodge City-like free-for-all, but action outside someone's authority. Or a lack of required action.
We can visit a number of recent examples on the national level involving prisoner exchanges, embassy deaths and the politicizing of federal agencies like the IRS, to name a few.
Lawlessness and a lack of truthfulness are close companions. For instance, who really believes the IRS lost two years of Lois Lerner's emails concerning the targeting of conservative groups for enhanced tax inspection? Anyone familiar with the missing 18½ minutes of audio tape during the Watergate proceedings will see an eerie parallel.
It's not really that the Department of Education thinks it needs a SWAT team or that someday the Department of Health and Human Services may think it needs a submarine.
Seriously, who doesn't want that kind of stuff (men, I believe I'm talking to us here) and when you have been at war as long as the United States has, there's a lot of cool military hardware being made available to federal agencies and state and local ones, as well. If someone offered me a decommissioned F-14, I would probably want it, although my garage is much too small.
The problem is trust, not equipment. It seems many in government don't trust citizens with firearms and unfortunately, that feeling is becoming reciprocated. A functional republic is based on mutual respect and trust. Actions less cavalierly executed than the Park Service's recent ban might help in rebuilding that trust.

Tried my new Diva Cup twice (last night and today) and both times, some time after inserting (last night while I was sleeping or this afternoon after it was in for an hour or so), it has migrated up so that I can't reach it to remove easily. In fact, I could only touch the tip of the stem with my finger. This morning I freaked until I read that suggested a bowel movement could sometimes be helpful in using the muscles needed bringing the cup back down. This afternoon I kind of used the same kind of pushing motion so that I was able to grasp the end.
Is this normal? Is it supposed to move around? Is that just how you are supposed to get it to within reach? It wasn't so high up after I inserted it...there was enough stem to grasp but it wasn't poking and was fairly comfortable. I wasn't getting any leakage so I thought I had it in a good position. Maybe not?
My Diva Cup migrates up too. It fits well, is comfortable, and doesn't leak. However, when I go to remove it I have to do a few "birth pushes" to get it to a spot where I can reach.
If it was any lower you'd feel it inside.
I just sit and do PC muscle pushes and grasp bottom of mine. I don't have a diva I have a ladycup, but they are very similar to eachother.
I've gotten to where I can insert it in the shower, but I doubt i'd be able to remove without a squat ;)
I assume you used tampons before? I didn't use them until I was much older (turns out I had hymen from hell anyway) - like 20 or 21....and I used OB with applicator and they expand sideways vs lengthwise. I tried using tampax etc once and they expand lengthwise....so much so that I could pop them out completely without touching them o_O
TMI for me even, but after I had my kids, 2nd one especially....I was passing clots, big ones, quite a lot....it's leveled out now, but even 2 years after i'd sit and have cramps where I would see spots and feel woozy like I was going to pass out. Every bit as bad as labor pains (says woman who had 9.5 and 11lb babies with a midwife and no drugs). I used tampons a few times back then and OMFG.....it would hurt so bad because my body was fighting against them, and they wouldn't absorbed when blocked. ugh, a mess.
LOVE the cup....love I can leave it in longer periods of time....when I start slowing down i'll pull it out in the morning and toss into my stall shower and get in and clean it in the shower before re-inserting it. and love the fact my body isn't fighting against it.....
Only non-love I had was i traveled an awful lot, about a week out of every month, sometimes longer....for the last 2+ years so a few times I LEFT it in my main destination (I had a bag of full sized stuff and odds and ends so I didn't need to schlepp) and needed it, or was in my suitcase since i'd generally leave a bag of things that went back and forth IN the suitcase....etc.
I def needed more than one! :)
I agree with rnra - I have to do a couple "clenches" or "pushes" to get mine where I can reach it.

due August 2015.
It sounds like you've gotten a lot of good advice already, but I'm paging TracyGladRags (the owner of GladRags) just in case she can tell you anything helpful!
Mom to the wacky and wonderful Kalyani (August 2011)
Okay, funny story: I gave a Moon Cup to my friend and neighbor about a year ago. I told her to just come by if she had any questions and I'd be happy to talk her through them. Fast forward a few days.... there is a frantic knocking at my door, I open up, and she whispers "TRACY! I think my vagina ate my Moon Cup!"
Moral of the story: you are not alone! The cup migrates upwards for a lot of people. The Diva Cup has a really short stem, which can make it more difficult to reach than other cups, but it physically can't get lost up there (your cervix will stop it). Pushing helps, as does squatting (this shortens the vaginal canal). Best tip is to stay calm!
Congrats on making the switch to a menstrual cup! Woohoo!
Thanks everyone for their comments. I have to say I quite liked using the cup...except for the little freak out about the disappearing stem. I didn't have any problems with leakage or comfort. I will definitely try again next cycle and not worry so much. I'm sure being relaxed helps too.
TracyGladRags - which cups have longer stems? perhaps I can ask DH to pick one up when he's in the US on a business trip. I'm in Canada and I believe that I can only get the Diva cup here.
The Moon Cup & Keeper have the longest stems. The Moon Cup is more similar to the DivaCup (made of the same material -- medical-grade silicone) and the Keeper is made of natural gum rubber/latex. The Lunette also has a longer stem than the Diva.
Definitely keep trying, though! Sometimes it's just a matter of knowing that what's happening is normal :)
Now another question....I pinched a piece off the end off the stem of the Diva Cup the last time I used it and was trying to remove it. It's a small piece...maybe 2-3 mm off a side. Can I still use it or should I replace it?

Portugal ban coach Queiroz for anti-doping insults
The Portuguese football association (FPF) has suspended coach Carlos Queiroz for 30 days for insulting anti-doping officials ahead of this summer's World Cup.
Queiroz, 57, will miss Portugal's fist two Euro 2012 qualifiers, against Cyprus on September 3 and Norway on September 7, and must also pay a €1000 fine for the incident at a pre-tournament training camp in Covilha.
The former Real Madrid boss was accused of directing obscene words to controllers, including Luis Horta - the the head of the Portuguese anti-doping agency.
The FPF's disciplinary committee were satisfied that the accusations of abuse were true, though they did admit that there was no evidence to suggest that Queiroz hindered the officials' work in any way.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and Luis Figo spoke as a character witnesses at the hearing in Lisbon, but despite Queiroz telling the committee that he was merely trying to protect the privacy of his players, he could not convince them of his innocence.

I want to get a hibernate configuration object from a LocalSessionFactoryBean, so that I can plug it into a hibernate console on startup. I defined this in my context XML:
And it works fine, giving me a configuration bean as hoped. The problem is, hibernate console is using the configuration.buildSessionFactory() method to get a session factory, and I want to override buildSessionFactory() to return the session factory from the spring container.
So, I thought lookup method injection was the solution. I tried this:
But when the container is created I get this error message:
This is confusing because I'm not using a static factory method, I'm using an instance factory method...what am I missing?

MADISON, WI – Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board (G.A.B.) on Wednesday issued a reminder to state citizens engaging in campaign work this summer and fall to carefully observe the legal boundaries between campaigning and government.
As Wisconsin's partisan primary approaches on September 9, candidates and campaign volunteers must remember that campaign activities may not be carried out in government buildings or with government resources. For example, campaign workers should not solicit in a government building:
• Campaign volunteers
• Signatures for nomination papers
• Campaign contributions
Section 11.36 (4) of Wisconsin statutes lists the prohibition against solicitation of contributions: "No person may enter or remain in any building, office or room occupied for any purpose by the state, by any political subdivision thereof….or send or direct a letter or other notice thereto for the purpose of requesting or collection a contribution."
"The rules are clear: Only the public's business must be done in public offices," said Kevin Kennedy, G.A.B. Director and General Counsel. "Campaign activity is not appropriate in government offices, and it's everyone's job to maintain a clear line."
Government employees who wish to carry out campaign work on their personal time must also be aware of the boundaries, Kennedy said. Government resources such as offices, telephones or e-mail may not be used by workers for campaign purposes.
"If the rules at first seem severe," Kennedy added, "think about it in this context: If you saw a government worker doing campaign work that you opposed with resources paid for by your taxes, how would you feel?"

The grass is growing lush, which means you will need to mow more. And, it is historically our driest month.
Bahiagrass is one of the better drought-tolerant grasses and can survive our driest month easily, though it may be a bit brown. Bahiagrass can be started from seed or sod, but it's best to wait until the rainy season to plant or rejuvenate. Seeding can be done until about mid September.
Watch for chinch bugs in St. Augustine grass (above). Straw-colored grass along pavement is usually the first sign. A University of Florida/IFAS Extension publication on chinch bug management says that rapid St. Augustine growth due to frequent applications of water-soluble nitrogen fertilizers may contribute to the problem. Responsible use of slow-release nitrogen fertilizers may help (edis.ifas.ufl.edu/LH036).
Young chinch bugs are red and hidden in sheaths of grass. As adults, they're about 1/5-inch-long, their color changes to black and white and they develop wings. Chinch bugs can kill large areas of St. Augustine. Chemical treatments may be effective if applied correctly. Some choices, broken down by chemical class:
1. Lambda cyhalothrin, permethrin, cyfluthrin
2. Imidacloprid
3. Neem oil
If you need to treat the area again, use a product from a different chemical class to avoid developing resistance. Be sure the product you use is labeled for chinch bugs, and follow the label carefully.

I awoke to my brother shaking me. "Get up Chwisti!" He said, his brown hair in my nose. Okay, I have to wake up to my 'cute' four year old brother. When no-one's home and it's just me and him, he's like the devil. "Okay Sam! Shoo!" I muttered. I got up and threw some clothes on. A black t-shirt and black skinny jeans. I walked downstairs, grabbed a banana. As I walked out the door, icy-cold air hit my face. Man! I forgot a coat! I thought regretfully. I can't go get a coat now, since I can see the bus. I ran to the end of the driveway, and walked onto the bus. I sat down in my seat, took out my iPod, and turned the sound up all the way. One of my bullies, and yes I say my, because I'm special.. not, sat across from me. She said something to me, but I couldn't hear her because of how loud my music was. The bus jerked to a stop, and I walked into school. in front of locker, I saw someone hand tape to another person. When they saw me coming, they ran away. Okay.. When I saw my locker, I saw why they ran away. There were papers saying things such as 'Emo'. I ripped them off of my locker. I heard chuckling since I took my earbuds out, Why am I the only one in this school they torment anyway? Why can't I be someone else for a change? Someone who is liked?
The next thing I knew, Jake Pitts was over me. "You alright dude?" "Yeah! You randomly passed out! What the fridge is with that?" Ashley asked. Why were they asking me? Why am I not at school?
Chapter two
Andy's POV:
This is weird. My back wasn't against something cold about ten minutes ago. I looked up, to see locker. "What the fudge?" I then slapped my hand over my mouth. I definitely don't sound like that! I thought frantically.
I got up quickly, looking around. "Hey Emo! You look fine today!" Someone mocked. "You talking to me?" I asked. "Yeah. You're such a freak." "Nice comeback, stupid person, 'cause I don't care what you think," I replied, and then walked away, not caring if I was walking to the wrong class.#########! You're going the wrong way! Art's this way!" Some kid yelled. "How do I know you're not just joking with me?" I asked, wheeling around on my foot. "Well, you don't look like someone who would make fun of me," I speculated. "Christi, I'm your best friend, remember?" I shook my head. "It's probably because I'm not Christi. You like Black Veil Brides?" I asked. The guy nodded. "Yeah! They're my idols. You introduced me to them!" "No, Christi did. Not your idol, Andy Biersack. Kid, I'm not Christi, I'm the lead singer for Black Veil Brides." The guys eyes widened, and he stuttered, "W-well, I-I'm D-Drake. I love your b-band,"

Unreal footage of Bill Russell was released on Youtube this week that shows him leaping from the free throw line en route to a layup. And oh ya, he jumps over a guy in doing so.
Anyone that thinks Bill Russell isn't one of the best players of all-time; let this video be a fresh reminder just how outstanding he was. Russell literally changed how the game was played.
The video lists Russell's measurements back then:
6-9 5/8ths w/o shoes (Sports Illustrated 1956)
7-4 wingspan
215-240lb playing weight range

Had botox done on forehead, crows feet, inbetween eyes and on chin. It had no effect on me whatsoever. Am awaiting a possible answer on this website as to why it didnt work, as the clinic that administered the botox is not interested in helping me.Hi, I had Botox done on my forehad, inbetween my eyes, my crows feet and on a little crease that is under my bottom lip on the chin. It was quite expensive but it had no effect on me at all. I had top ups about 2 weeks after initial treatment as well, still no effect at all and could still move all facial muscles as before. My family and friends didnt notice any difference and I myself did not notice any difference. So my question is, what could have cause this not to work on me? Thanks in advance.

Despite letting my anesthesiologist know I have had a problem with severe muscle pain for a few days after 2 prior surgeries, and that I was told this was a reaction to "scoline", I was given this med again during a 2 hour surgery. This time I woke up with severe chest tightness,wheezing, numb tongue (3 weeks),and difficulty breathing.What more can a pt do to keep safe? This info was even listed on my red allergy bracelet and I had typed a letter that was placed in my chart about a scoline allergy and that my mother had a similar problem. I am now scared to think about when my AICD/pacemaker needs replacing in 4-6 yrs. Thank you for your time.
It sounds like you did everything possible to inform the hospital staff and doctors about your scoline reaction.
But, are you quite sure that scoline is what you were given? Do you have a copy of the anesthetic record? Have you discussed any of this with your anesthesiologist?
Scoline typically causes muscle pain a day or so after a surgical procedure. It is not usually associated with chest tightness, wheezing or a numb tongue. Nor does it cause difficulty breathing, except while the drug is actually in effect - a matter of just a few minutes.
Although scoline is a very effective muscle relaxant it is not the only muscle relaxant, there are several other options. If you need to be intubated again your anesthesiologist should be able to offer an alternative without the same side effects.
Replacement of an AICD/pacemaker is not a procedure in which scoline or any other muscle relaxant is needed so that should be a bit reassuring for you.
Assuming you are correct, and that scoline (succinylcholine) was given, I am not sure what else you could have done to prevent this.

Music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs spares no expense when it comes to his six children. When his son Justin Dior celebrated his 16th birthday earlier this year the rapper marked the occasion by giving him a new car – and not just any car, but a Maybach worth almost $400,000.
In a new interview with Nightline, Diddy defends the extravagant gift, saying, "I think its appropriate to give my kids whatever I want to give my kids. I feel the way I raise my children, I don't have to explain to you or anyone else, 'cause nobody knows the way I raise my children. So nobody knows the lessons that I've taught my children to understand, if they are mentally ready for that…. It wasn't even about a lesson; it's what I wanted to do."
He's had plenty of success in music and in business, but Diddy says his greatest accomplishments are as a father.
"I definitely enjoy the responsibility of fatherhood. It's probably one of the things I can honestly I'm not the most successful at. I feel that my kids deserve more personal time from me."

Bogus separation of church and state case in Arizona
The school and yearbook editors have failed to understand that voluntary, student-initiated speech attributed to no one but the student does not violate the establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution. There was no establishment clause violation prevented by this censorship; the school was wrong to prohibit it.
More detail and mostly uninformed commentary on this issue may be found at the Arizona Republic's website. One commenter appealed to an Illinois federal court case in defense of the school--De La Rosa v. Rock Island School District, where a student's cover artwork included the phrase "God Bless America." The difference is that in that case, the expression was on the cover of the yearbook, implying that the school endorsed the expression.
Ed Brayton points out that a similar case in Michigan was resolved in favor of the student with the help of the ACLU.

Magnolia Manor Park
About The P-Patch
Magnolia Manor Park was designed and developed with money from the Seattle Parks & Green Spaces Levy, with additional fundraising and labor provided by the Magnolia Manor community.
Sustainable Magnolia, a neighborhood organization, received a Small and Simple Neighborhood Matching Fund award from the Department of Neighborhoods to host a community-driven process, including three public input meetings, to create an updated site design for Magnolia Manor Park, with the goal of creating a mixed-use place of beauty, vibrancy, and sustainability for all members of the community. The Magnolia Manor P-Patch Garden grew out of this process. The Friends of Magnolia Manor Park spearheaded development of the park.

Since G. Arenas opted out of his contract yesterday, I assume the Wiz can only re-sign him as they would any other free agent. What is their Cap status and would they only be able to sign him to the MLE or another exclusion?

Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
Washington has full Bird right so they can re-sign him for up to the max contract, cap status isn't applicable.
Expected to sign a max contract in the nest week

And get his buddy Jamison a very nice raise as well....

Any chance the Wizards say thanks but no thanks and pass on him. He's extremely talented, and his teammates seem to like him, but a case could be made that the Wiz are better without him (assuming they could get, trade or sign a suitable replacement)
No doubt Gil does give the Wiz a player that is at times unstoppable
Last edited by Unclebuck; 06-10-2008 at 04:27 PM.
its always possible.
But ever since Gil asked for a max contract (said he was opting out) Grunfield and Polian have been saying that they will 100% give it to him. And then there is the Jamison situation (Gil says if Jamison isn't resigned then they were both leaving) and Polian and Grunfeld have been saying that they will take care of both of them.

They're both good players and 'relatively speaking', I suppose an
arguement could be made that they're worth that kind of $$. But
that team isn't gonna win anything signifigant with that mix of
players. That's at best, when healthy, a 50-52 win team and EC,
#3 or #4 seed that flames out in round two.
If I were them, I'd try hard to move Arenas.
God, it may be nice to have "problems" like not being 100% sure Gilbert Arenas is the best fit for your team.
Also...Antwan is one of the more underrated players in the League. People sing the praises of Boozer and Dave West all day, but forget all about Jamison Smooth. (And yes, I know he was just an All Star too.)
To me, moving Gil isn't even an option. Yes, it's possible that he could turn into the Wizs version of JO in four years (i.e., overpaid and underproductive) but you just can't do that to your fanbase.Originally Posted by Rajah Brown
Hibachi is a legend in DC already and you just have to sign the max check and cross your fingers. And even if you don't win anything with him, you still have an Ernie Banks/Reggie Millier/Barry Sanders type of larger-than-life legend that will forever give your fan base a beloved icon to hang their hat on (not saying he's that good...just similarly beloved).
And sure, if they don't win, Grunfield et al will take some flak, much like Donnie/Larry are taking flak for "overpaying" JO. But just like their decision on JO was an absolute no-brainer "sign the check or lose him and alienate all your fans" situation, that's exactly what the Wiz are up against now.
You have to resign him.

This is the darkest timeline.
Like you say, it's similar to the situation with Jermaine and the Pacers a few years ago. What are their other alternatives? Get rid of your marquee player and main draw and replace him with less talented players and hope that gets you over the hump?
Only time I can remember a team getting better like that was the Pistons being forced to lose Grant Hill and getting Ben Wallace back as compensation. That kind of stuff doesn't happen too often.
Similar situation to the Nuggets and Carmelo.
Yeah, Carmelo's got his flaws and he's not Lebron, but what exactly are the Nugz supposed to do? Dump 24 year old Carmelo at a discount rate for less talented players, then keep tanking every year so they eventually get lucky in the lotto and end up with the next Lebron instead of the next Carmelo?
You just can't run a franchise like that.
Man, I'd kill to be a 50-52 win team that makes it to the second round at this point. Kind of hard to take people seriously when they are knocking that when we are a 40 win MAX wow hope the EC sucks enough so we can back into the playoffs kind of team ourselves.
I wasn't knocking the desirability of being a 50-52 win team. Obviously,
Pacer fans can only dream about that level of accomplishment at this
point. I was just questioning signing a guy to a 'max' deal who isn't
likely to take your team past that point.

Milpitas City Council's May 13 budget hearing to review for final adoption the city's $71.2-million 2014-15 fiscal year general fund budget has been canceled. Instead, review of the new budget, covering July 1 to June 30, 2015, has been rescheduled to the council's regular meeting on Tuesday, May 20.
"There was determined to be no need for a separate special meet date for the budget hearing this year, and there is time available on council's agenda May 20," Milpitas City Clerk Mary Lavelle said Monday.
In part, the city's proposed budget projects a 6.6-percent increase in sales, transient occupancy and property tax revenues — representing a $2.6 million increase.
On April 1, the council discussed potentially using new revenues to upgrade busy community buildings, assisting youth performing art groups, opening a new skate park and battling crime.
The council also received city staff recommendations to add or hire back new staffers such as an assistant city manager as well as fill nine other key positions, including the return of an economic development manager, totaling about $1 million in salary expenses.
The council is also expected to review for approval next year's capital improvement program totaling about $15.28 million, earmarked for civic improvements.
The May 20 council meeting will begin at 7 p.m. inside Milpitas City Hall's Council Chambers, 455 E. Calaveras Blvd.

Canada to seek extradition of Sri Lankan for smuggling
A Sri Lankan national facing charges of human smuggling for bringing hundreds of Tamils aboard a rickety cargo ship to Canada has been arrested in France, Canadian officials said Thursday.
Canada's federal police last month issued an international warrant for the arrest of Thayakaran Markandu, saying they hoped to have him extradited to stand trial.
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney in a statement commended French authorities for apprehending Markandu.
"Mr. Markandu is currently being held in custody in France and the extradition process has been initiated," they said.
Canadian authorities allege Markandu organized travel for 492 Tamils who arrived in August 2010 aboard the ship MV Sun Sea, seeking asylum.
Canada and Sri Lanka had said the migrants may have included members of the Tamil Tigers, outlawed in Canada as a terror group before their defeat in 2009 after a lengthy civil war. The migrant's asylum claims are still being considered and they remain in Canada.
A conviction for organizing illegal entry into Canada carries a potential penalty of life imprisonment or a $1,000,000 fine, or both.

John Mayer's DVD-Sized Ego
It's been a few years since John Mayer and Jessica Simpson broke up, but that doesn't mean there still aren't entertaining stories about them.
The New York Post's Page Six reports that while John and Jessica were dating, he had to miss her birthday because he was on tour. Her friends thought that John had forgotten her birthday when a gift from him arrived. He sent her a DVD of him in concert, which Jessica proceeded to watch for the rest of the night so she could be with him.
Oh John Mayer. You're so talented, but you're such a narcissistic douchebag. And I do mean that in the best was possible. Oh wait, you're not a douche? Umm, OK. We'll all think about that for a while.
I wonder if Jessica has pulled out the John Mayer DVD after her recent break-up? Her way of grieving: watching concert specials of old flames. Sound plausible? I hope she watches the 98° Disney concert special.
