Hospitals: Can Yours Handle Your Emergency?
Medical Author: Benjamin C. Wedro, MD, FACEP, FAAEM
Most of us have our favorite places to eat and hang out. There is the neighborhood coffee shop where we stop for our morning cup. However, that isn't the place we would choose for a Sunday morning brunch or the special anniversary night out. Each place serves our special wants and needs. Hospitals are no different, but do you know what hospital to choose in emergency or natural diaster like a tornado, hurricane, or earthquake, and does it matter?
Medicine has changed in the past generation. Not so long ago, medical practice was good at diagnosing conditions and diseases, but had little to offer the patient in the way of treatment to intervene in life-threatening events. Thirty years ago, the heart attack victim was admitted to the hospital for weeks as the damaged heart muscle was replaced with scar tissue and the patient adapted to a new life with a weakened heart. People had strokes, and there were no intervention options available. Survival rates from trauma were better in Vietnam than on American highways.
Medical research advanced, and hospitals developed systems to care for patients with life-threatening conditions. Some hospitals developed expertise in trauma or cardiac care. Others centered on pediatrics or stroke care. National organizations like the American College of Surgeons and the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Hospital Organizations review hospitals around the country and designate their special areas of expertise.
So why should it matter to you, the patient, when an emergency exists? Every hospital should be about the same...right?
The answer is a little complicated and is based upon geography. In larger cities, the hospital you choose could make a difference in the care you receive and the outcome of the event that brought you to the hospital. In smaller towns and rural areas, where there may be only one hospital if even that, the opportunity for cutting edge medical care may not be available and that's the trade off for small town life.
But when the choice is available, it's important to know what hospital to choose. Most hospitals are equipped to handle routine urgent and emergent problems. Their staff has the training and the available equipment to stabilize even the most critically ill patient. Issues arise after the initial patient stabilization - when it's time to get specific patient care. Consider the following:
And it does make a difference. Trauma centers have higher survival rates than community hospitals. Patients in the midst of a heart attack do better with emergency heart catheterization to open up a blocked blood vessel than those patients who get treated with medications only. And patients who are in the midst of a stroke have a better outlook when treated at a stroke center.
For those without the option of different hospitals, systems have been developed to refer patients emergently. In small towns and cities, treatment protocols allow standard care to begin while transportation is arranged to specialized centers. Depending on distance, time and weather - helicopters or aircraft can be used to shorten the time to get the patient to the specialist.
Usually, the paramedics will transport the patient to the nearest hospital, and sometimes will honor the request of the patient or family to go to another emergency room than the one planned. But if specific problems are known to exist, EMTs go to the hospital designated for the issue at hand.
People need to know the capabilities of their local hospital. Talking with your family doctor is a good place to start. Friends and neighbors may have experiences to share in regard to different hospitals. Otherwise, the research is pretty easy to do on the Web. Most hospitals will tout their special designations in their advertising. Check their Web site to see what services are offered. Hospital performance can also be reviewed at http://www.hospitalcompare.hhs.gov or Joint Commission's Resources website at www.QualityCheck.org.
The key to good outcomes in medicine is planning, and that planning starts with you, the patient. Finding the right restaurant takes a little time. Finding the right hospital should be worth the same effort.

Do You Care About the Royal Family?
Because, seriously.
Driving around last night, I thought to myself.. I don't care about the Royal Family. Is that weird?
I mean they are in essence just huge celebs that never go away.. but what have they done? Cured cancer? Ended world hunger? FIGURED OUT A WAY TO MAKE MY ANDROID BATTERY LIFE LAST LONGER?!
No? Then yeah, I might as well watch the Kardashians.
What do you think about the Royal Family? And why do I feel the need to capitalize that? I JUST DON'T KNOW.
I want to hear your thoughts – maybe you were super excited about the new babe? Weigh in!
Mario in Real Life
Evidently, people don't know much about this guy.
Here's the NSFW fake movie trailer for Mario in real life. If you're stuck at the office, watch it when you get home. It's pretty epic.
Why is this not real? Shut up and take my money.
Texting and Dating
Don't text.. and date. That's a thing right?
Because it should be. Technology just makes dating SO MUCH HARDER these days. I mean sure I wasn't alive when girls would wait up by their telephones all hours of the night hoping that *because they didn't have caller ID* every time the phone rang it would be that hunky varsity letter man.. but I read a lot of Nancy Drew as a kid.
So now that we have cell phones you'd think things would get easier? I mean instant gratification is great.. until it's no longer gratifying.
I always get a little antsy when a guy I like doesn't return my texts within like an hour or two or so. I get that you have stuff to do, but it's not hard to shoot out a quick message to reassure me you're not dead every couple hours.. right?
Granted, I'm probably a tad neurotic, especially since I myself am a TERRIBLE texter, but can you really tell whether or not someone is into you based on how they text? And if you return a text right away, do you seem needy?
What do you think?
Worst Questions to be Asked on a Date
You hear about them all the time – The dates nightmares are made of.
If you can get dropped off by a respectable man after a marginally good time virtually unscathed – I call that a win.
But sometimes, you aren't so lucky.
My friend recently went out with a guy and the first thing he asked her was HOW MUCH SHE WEIGHED. WHAAAAAAAAAT?!
(Obviously the dude doesn't go out much.)
This got me to thinking.. what inappropriate questions have you been asked on a first date?
Break Up Scavenger Hunt
I think 2ge+her said it best- "the hardest thing about breaking up.. is getting back your stuff."
Meet this creative woman who decided to kick her boyfriend to the curb in style. Everyone loves a scavenger hunt, amiright?!
What do you do with an ex's things?

The Crab is an excellent strategist and is quite good at making a pincer movement to close a deal, a natural move for one with some pretty sharp claws. Even so, the Crab won't resist retreating into that shell if there's a better time to do business. Once Cancerians nab the prize, however, they won't let go. Ever! These folks enjoy accumulating money (they need to!) and intend to hang on to most, if not all, of what they get.
Loving money as they do (green must be their favorite color!), Cancerians make excellent bankers and business people, seemingly endowed as they are with a head for money. Crabs also view money as a measure of their value -- it validates them and helps them feel more powerful. It also allows them to take care of those they love and buys peace of mind. No rainy day woes for the cautious Crab!
Cancerians enjoy doing the budgeting and will always see to it that the fridge is full, the bills are paid, and that bank balances are healthy. They won't charge it if they can pay now, and they usually can. These folks are also cautious about lending money, unless it's a family member that's doing the asking, in which case their generosity is boundless.
Any shopping sprees in the Crab's future? Probably not. It's better to hang on to those bucks, you know -- they could come in handy someday.

Charitable wine
It's November, and despite the contrary evidence of a summer that won't go away, Thanksgiving in the U.S. and the holiday season around the wrold are drawing near. It's traditionally a time for home and family and, perhaps, taking a moment to do a little something for those less fortunate.
Here and there around the world of wine, a handful of producers make it easy for you to enjoy your wine and make a small charitable contribution at the same time.
MBAs and cynics call this kind of thing "social marketing," suggesting that its practitioners "do good in order to do well," as the saying goes: Tapping into public charitable consciousness by pledging to make a small donation to a worthy cause, companies stand to increase their own sales and profits.
Is anything wrong with this? As long as the promises are kept and the pledges fulfilled, the practice strikes me as a stereotypical "win-win" concept. I don't think a charitable add-on would prompt me to buy a wine that wouldn't appeal to me anyway. But if all other things are equal, knowing that a few cents went to a worthy cause would probably encourage me to pick the charitable bottle over an otherwise similar competitor.
Social marketing hasn't come heavily to the world of wine, but I've reported on specific charitable arrangements from time to time. Today's featured wine, for example, a simple but enjoyable New Zealand Pinot Noir, a product of the St. Helena winery in Canterbury that bears the "Flying Kiwi" label, pledges to donate 1 percent of all its sales to support the Kiwi Breeding and Recovery Programme of the New Zealand Conservation Trust, which cares for and manages threatened native bird species including New Zealand's symbol, the flightless kiwi.
Here are a few other wineries that promise financial support, based on wine sales, to charitable and service organizations:
* Big Tattoo Wines, a California winery, dedicates 50 cents for every bottle sold to a variety of breast cancer research and support programs. Winery officials say they've raised more than $1 million for since the project began in 2002.
* Cleavage Creek, of Napa, promises 10 percent of its gross sales to breast-cancer research, a program mounted by winery owner Budge Brown in memory of his wife of 48 years. The wine labels feature photos of breast-cancer survivors and are priced in the $18 - $50 range.
* Five Rivers Winery also raises money for breast cancer research. Its "Save A Local Goddess" program donates $1 for every bottle sold during October, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The winery, which had raised more than $130,000 before this year's campaign, is expanding the program with year-round efforts to draw attention to the issue.
* San Patrignano, a fine Italian winery in Emilia-Romagna, is actually owned and operated by an up-by-your-bootstraps "community of service" that helps young people from around the world overcome drug addiction and turn their lives around through hard work and training under experts in more than 50 crafts and professions, including wine making. Its wines are distributed in the U.S. by Palm Bay Imports of Boca Raton, Fla.
* Vinum Cellars, in California's Lodi region, labels its "Pets" Petite Sirah in memory of grower Ken Wilson's dog Tanker, and has donated more than $25,000 from sales of this wine to local animal shelters, the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and also to breast-cancer charities.
Enjoy your wine, give a little help. Makes sense to me! I'd like to know what you think. Do you approve of winery social marketing in general? Would you like to talk about a good wine that supports a worthy cause?
It's not wine-related, but I can't resist mentioning one of the most effective programs I've seen yet for harnessing the Internet community to make a difference in the lives of real people around the world.
Kiva.org lets you connect with - and loan money to - unique small businesses in the developing world. By choosing a business on Kiva.org, you can sponsor an entrepreneur, helping a specific working-poor person make strides towards economic independence. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive Email journal updates from the business you've sponsored. As the loan is repaid, you get your money back. No wine, but a great concept.

Flying Kiwi 2006 South Island Pinot Noir ($14.99)
Clear ruby, not overly dark. Decent cool-climate Pinot scents, red cherries and a lightly herbaceous "tomato skin" quality over just a whiff of brown spice. Fresh, crisp and tart, soft cherry fruit and zippy acidity. Smooth, rational 13% alcohol, no hint of tannic astringency, clean and food-friendly; a decent New World Pinot. U.S. importer: Miller Squared Inc., Highland Park, Ill. (Nov. 1, 2007)
FOOD MATCH: Versatile with a range of fare from red meat to salmon to mushrooms and cheeses. It was an excellent match with a dinner salad made with a low-acid olive-oil-and-lime-juice dressing and topped with strips of pan-seared, grass-fed steak with a teriyaki-style shot of soy sauce.
VALUE: More than fairly priced in the middle teens in this Pinot-crazy era.
WHEN TO DRINK: The sturdy Stelvin-style metal screwcap will hold it well on the wine rack, but I don't see it improving dramatically with cellar time. Drink up over the next couple of years.

A friend posed a question to me this weekend that I couldn't answer.
A former resident of New Orleans, Joan mastered gumbo long ago, and last week she whipped up a batch. Her roux was a deep mahogany, she said. Then she added green bell pepper, celery and onion. Then okra, then tomatoes, seasonings, and eventually shrimp. At this stage it was a good golden color. About five minutes before she was to serve it, she added what she estimated to be 2-3 lbs of frozen dungeness crab meat (home packed without chemicals or preservatives, we all catch our own here), and the gumbo turned black.
Not just dark brown, BLACK, Joan emphasized.
What caused such a rapid and total color change?

Wireframing in Powerpoint? It Works!
It's important for designers to translate the ideas in their heads into a tangible form that stakeholders can relate to. Prior to writing any code, wireframes are a great way to quickly map out the functionality and flow of a website or application. This helps anticipate conflicts ("That's not what I had in mind") early in the process, at a point where they are painless to correct.
Dedicated wireframing tools are in abundance, so you might be surprised that my weapon of choice for sketching wireframes is Microsoft PowerPoint. PowerPoint makes it possible for stakeholders and non-techies to participate in the design process. When exchanging PowerPoint slides over email, you can be fairly certain everyone will be able to view and edit them. The software's widespread availability and low barrier to entry make it an excellent communication tool, able to bridge the gap between developers, designers, and clients.
As well, the design capabilities of PowerPoint are far better than the application's reputation would indicate. In this article I'll show what PowerPoint 2010 (for Windows) brings to the table when it comes to creating wireframes. Maybe I can convince you that PowerPoint isn't as evil or dumb as you might have thought.
Arranging and Layering Support
Whatever simplifies is useful. Real-world wireframes can quickly become fairly complex as the number of elements accumulates, but PowerPoint's grouping capabilities allow some order to be brought to the chaos. Just select two or more shapes on a slide and choose Group > Group from the context menu, or simply press Ctrl + G (or Ctrl + Shift + G to ungroup).
A helpful tool when working with grouped and layered shapes is the Selection Pane, available via Home > Drawing > Arrange > Selection Pane. It gives a hierarchical overview of all the shapes on the current slide and makes it easy to select individual shapes that are part of a group or are hidden by other shapes.
PowerPoint's aligning and distributing features are also essential for wireframing. The menu items found under Home > Drawing > Arrange > Align give several ways to align shapes on the slide or distribute them evenly. A nifty addition in PowerPoint 2010 is the Smart Guides feature. When you move a shape around, indicator lines let you know when the shape lines up with another shape.
Import/Export Facilities
PowerPoint supports quite a few import and export formats. Besides common bitmap formats like JPEG or PNG, it can also work with vector images in EMF, WMF, and EPS format. I personally often draw icons in Inkscape (an open-source vector graphics editor) and export them to an EMF file, which I then use in PowerPoint. A lesser-known feature of PowerPoint 2010 is that it can export slides to PDF documents, or even convert them into a WMV video (File > Save & Send > File Types > Create PDF/XPS Document or Create a Video).
Adding Interactivity
Presentation features make PowerPoint an ideal tool for demonstrating an application's flow as a storyboard. Slide by slide you tell a story, presenting different steps in a user-interaction process.
Such a story can be linear, or dynamic and non-linear using Actions to create buttons that move to specific slides when clicked. To configure an action for a shape, simply select it on the slide and choose Insert > Action from the Ribbon Bar. It's worth noting that Actions only have an effect when PowerPoint is in presentation mode (press Shift + F5 to see the current slide in presentation mode).
You can even create macros in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) to simulate application behavior—if you're a bit crazy, that is. Info on how to bring up the Developer tab to start the VBA editor is available here. I would say that writing VBA code requires too much effort, defeating the purpose of rapid, low-fidelity wireframing, but it may suit your needs.
Making Use of Masters
Slide Masters allow you to create reusable templates for your slides. When you make different wireframes that follow the same layout and share the same elements (such as a common header, menu, and footer), this facility is especially useful.
To view the existing masters, select View > Slide Master from the PowerPoint Ribbon. After creating a new layout and closing the master view, you can apply the master to an existing slide by right-clicking the slide and selecting the master from the Layout menu.
Integration with Word and Other Office Applications
Another benefit of using PowerPoint for wireframing is that it's possible to fully embed slides into a Word document. I use this a lot when writing specifications. Instead of having multiple documents that quickly fall out of sync, I can keep all relevant documentation in one place.
The easiest way to embed a PowerPoint slide into a Word document is to drag & drop the slide from PowerPoint's Slides pane directly into Word. You can then double-click the embedded slide to activate it for editing. It's also possible to copy a slide from PowerPoint's Slides pane and insert it into a Word document using Paste > Paste Special... > Microsoft Office PowerPoint Slide Object.
Collaborating and Sharing Designs
Wireframes are usually subject to a lot of discussion and change. To keep up with all the comments, you can use PowerPoint's review features, available under the Review Ribbon tab. This makes it possible to add user-specific comments, and PowerPoint 2010 can also compare different versions of a file and consolidate the differences.
An easy way to share a PowerPoint slideshow with coworkers and clients is to save it to SkyDrive (you can get 25 GB of storage for free from Microsoft) or SharePoint. Both services allow you to specify who is allowed to view and edit the file, and to keep track of changes through a version history.
Ready-to-Use Wireframe Stencils
My enthusiasm for using PowerPoint for wireframing led me to develop PowerMockup, an add-on that provides ready-to-use wireframe templates for the typical elements of an application: buttons, text boxes, menus, tabs, tables, and many more. It even allows you to create and categorize your own wireframe stencils. Feel free to download the demo version and give the tool a try.

While I found PP quite usable for wireframing (I am in fact working in a project and wireframing with this tool, with the client's templates), the main reason why I would never choose it should I be able to choose tool, is because Powerpoint measures in CM / Inches, and not in pixels. That makes it, in my opinion, a poorer tool when trying to be more accurate in zonings, text and image sizes, button sizes, etc.
Anyway, and besides my considerations, I would like to add, to the powermockup excellent templates, the ones that keynotopia.com sells, originally for Apple's Keynote software and now also available for Powerpoint.
Ready-to-use wireframe stencils: I second Brian on Keynotopia's wireframe templates. They have them for PowerPoint and they're GREAT! Huge time-saver + can turn wireframes into high fidelity/pixel perfect (ready for development :) interactive prototypes with just a few clicks. Highly recommend them not just for mobile apps but for web and desktop apps.
I've used PP in the past for IA and some wireframing and it's a passable tool and if you are accustomed to using PP the learning curve will be easy to absorb. I am a little pissed that the PowerMockups is only available as an EXE file. Kind of leaves us Mac users (most designers I know) unable to use your templates. So for now - I will stick to Balsamiq and hope for more and better libraries.
Where I work, we are mostly tool agnostic for creating wireframes... sure we have templates and stencils created for specific applications but if you are good at hand sketching, your sketches can be scanned and placed into one of our client-facing presentation decks.
As Jonathan said below "The primary function of wireframes is to communicate, not to be visually pleasing." Generally as long as the wireframes can be put into our InDesign templates for presenting, they're golden.
If someone decided that their preferred wireframing method is pinning string to a piece of cardboard, unconventional as it is, if it's effective we'll figure out a way to present it to the client.
When I began reading this article, I was instantly against the idea. I used Illustrator for about 3 years to do wireframes and then switched to using Balsamiq over the last few months. I can see some good points about using PowerPoint for wireframes. However, Balsamiq allows you to do things very quickly and easily while PowerPoint would hinder you. PowerPoint hides certain things that you would need to do a good wireframe within its menus (such as the align). I can see how it may be useful for someone without the means of purchasing these professional design tools, but are those the types of people who should even be reading UX Magazine or creating wireframes in the first place?
I believe that is like telling someone they could build a house with a hammer, wood, and some nails. However, there is a lot of architecture and engineering that would go into the house that just a home-buyer who wants to build a house couldn't know. Someone who wants good user experience who tries to build wireframes in PowerPoint would be the same thing.
I'm also a fan of PowerPoint for Wireframing.
I have used Axure and DreamWeaver for linked wireframes; but PowerPoint is better because of the flexibility in drawing as well as the capability of generating linked PDFs.
OpenOffice Impress somehow cannot maintain links while converting to PDF.
I have been using PowerPoint for animated wireframes for years (I call them Live Wireframes).
In addition to all the points mentioned, I'd like to add the following:
Where a lot of these tools like Visio and Omnigraffle fall short is in the area of transitions and modal states. PowerPoint is great at this. Add the fact that you can link object to animations (as triggers to animate other objects) so you can do non-linear animations, and you've got a tool that's tough to beat. This allows for great freedom when testing prototypes.
Here's my $1,000,000 tip: PowerPoint does LAYERS. Yep. Go to the Home tab and look for the Select option in the Editing section (see screenshot above). From the menu, select 'selection panel' and bam! A layer window appears showing you every object on the current slide.
My next tip? You can rename these objects here (double click) in order to facilitate animating them later (i.e. change Rectangle 76 to 'submit button').
I might be persuaded to post something someday which shows you the complexity possible. I'd have to wipe them of client info first. You'd have to say pretty please.
An informative piece - I usually swear by Balsamiq Mockups, but I have tried Powerpoint once for creating an interactive mockup with state transitions. It worked pretty good albeit it being a little hard to keep track of linking references between slides.
Btw, It think it's a bit unfortunate in terms of bias that the article ends with promoting a paid product developed by the author.
I normally use powerpoint for creating discounted wireframes (where I do not have access to paid softwares like axure or balsamiq. And to the end user I do not think it makes any difference if I have to present the layout. But the only limitation I face with powerpoint presentation is when I need to create interactive transactions or interactions. Otherwise powerpoint makes things much faster.
Andreas, thanks a lot for sharing the stencils.
I've been using PowerPoint to create wireframes and mockups for a few months, and I love it. I used it with the UI templates from Keynotopia to create my first iPhone app proto and it was faster than illustrator and fireworks.
@Erkan Keynotopia also has an OpenOffice (and Keynote) version
I knew when we decided to run this article that a lot of people would have knee-jerk, supercilious, negative reactions to the idea of using PowerPoint as a design tool. If you're one of those people, please remember to consider:
- The primary function of wireframes is to communicate, not to be visually pleasing. The efficacy of a communication tool is diminished if only some of the people involved in the conversation can contribute to it. If you have to be a pro with Illustrator or Axure to use wireframes to communicate, then a lot of people get left out and the conversation becomes one-sided. Especially during the critical requirements-definition stage of a project, business analysts and stakeholders are the most important voices, so something that enables them to communicate more effectively in the form of wireframes instead of language-based requirements documentation has a lot of potential to improve the project. Anything that gets BAs to stop trying to define requirements in 3,000 pages of bulleted lists should be enthusiastically embraced. Someone else can make the wireframes pretty later, if need be, but pretty isn't the point.
- Comparing the effectiveness of PowerPoint as a design tool to that of products like Illustrator misses the point. Of course it's inferior as a design tool for pro designers. But in the hands of non-designers, PowerPoint is actually a far more powerful design tool than Illustrator because they actually know how to use it. Even if non-designers have a license to Illustrator, which they probably don't, it'd take them far longer to figure out how to make a wireframe using it than to just do it in PowerPoint using simpler design features. Much of the power of Illustrator is pointless and confusing to these people, and it would be difficult for them to even figure out how to export, print, and share Illustrator documents.
This all reminds me of an expression: "The best camera is the one you have with you." No one would argue that an iPhone is the best camera, but it's silly to say that people need to own fancy, prosumer DSLRs before they can be allowed to take photos. Easy-to-use, phone-based cameras invite everyone into the world of photography; likewise, broadly available, easy-to-use software products invite everyone to the world of using visual abstractions to communicate about products.
I'm using PowerPoint to do Mockups since 2001 and it's the most underrated design tool I know. Customers love PowerPoint brainstorming because they understand what I am doing and can make annotations or changes to the design afterwards. If you need convincing evidence, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZp7BvQJnU8
I'm an ardent believer in using whatever works for yourself and your team as long as is it efficient. Learning new programs is fun (when timeline allows), but I've never worked anywhere that we didn't have a tight deadline. So if powerpoint works for you all to quickly communicate your ideas and has everyone on the same page, then go for it.
I think it also cuts down the intimidation factor and the "UX takes too long" myth. By using a program everyone is familiar with you can easily communicate your ideas. I appreciate your article to open others to thinking outside the "you must use x to wireframe" lines. Whatever communicates your ideas to the team as efficiently as possible --> go for it!

Ready or not, another football season is upon us and the return of that uniquely American tradition...tailgating!
Or, may it's not just American. I don't know, maybe soccer fans in distant countries open up their trucks, spread the picnic basket contents out and enjoy a snack before the big match on the pitch.
But, the pre-game festivities in many areas have become almost as important if not more so than the contest itself. It seems like a strange tradition...standing in a parking lot eating and drinking for hours on end before (and after) a football game, but it's been elevated to an art form by many, many fans.
What may have started off as just a beer and a hot dog from the back of a pickup truck has evolved for some into tricked-out vehicles specifically designed for such events with fine wines, actual plates and silverware to serve up multi-course meals and desserts and even games to while away the time until kickoff.
And, the traditions of tailgating have led to long-time friendships among fans of football teams who share this experience with their next-door-neighbor tailgaters fall after fall after fall.
Enjoy your Football Fall in your favorite manner with your favorite fans this season!

Weekend DiscussionNice to see that we got some actual BioShock 2 details yesterday, especially after the early morning fake-out. Though I will admit, I'm a bit bummed that the rhinoceros and giant squid bosses turned out to be bunk. Those sounded off-the-wall awesome.
As Indiana is still pulling the old "it looks sunny and nice outside but it's really just a few degrees above freezing" trick, I think I'll end up spending most of the weekend inside. Let's see how many episodes of The Wire I can burn through, but don't worry. I'll take breaks to play Resident Evil 5, 50 Cent, and Peggle. Maybe I'll even read a book!

PUMA Time/World Dodgeball Society Pickup Dodgeball Game
On July 8, PUMA TIME and the World Dodgeball Society hosted a pickup dodgeball game at Puma City at the Seaport. Similar to the game you may have played in grade school but with "no-sting" balls, this game is all about FUN. Forgot how to play dodgeball? Two teams, on each side of the court, throw multiple balls at each other while trying to eliminate other teams.

This episode focuses on the many faces of Nina Dobrev. Dobrev has portrayed two of television's most wildly different twinsies (or more realistically doppelgängsies). Elena Gilbert and everyone on the show has been dealing with the onslaught of Katherine Pierce's schemes, tricks, and violence since Season 1. 100 episodes later it looks like Katherine Pierce is no more. As part of the anniversary episode festivities there are a ton of reappearances by characters that have come and gone.

Re- Programmed Art // An Open Manifestoeditieren
Workshop // 01 – 07 September 2014 // Lugano
The project "Re-programmed art: an open manifesto" aims at involving a group of digital artists in the process of reprogramming artworks by Gruppo T, an Italian collective of artists that pioneered the introduction of technology and of an algorithmic approach in the process of artistic production. During a one-week hacking session, artists are asked to expand the works by Gruppo T through the implementation of interactive behaviors designed through open source hardware and software technologies, and to release an open documentation under Creative Commons licenses in order to support reproducibility, extension and further participatory developments of these re-programmed artworks by the public at large.
The workshop is conceived and promoted by SUPSI and takes place at the FabLab in Lugano, 1-7 September 2014
Exhibition // 05 – 29 March 2015 // Milan
Programmed art is the definition given to the body of works by a group of Italian artists active between the end of the fifties and the beginning of the sixties. This definition was introduced by Bruno Munari and Umberto Eco in 1961 on the occasion of an exhibition hosted at the Olivetti show room in Milan, featuring works by Munari, Enzo Mari and the artists of Gruppo T (Giovanni Anceschi, Davide Boriani, Gianni Colombo, Gabriele Devecchi, Grazia Varisco) and by Gruppo N. "Re-programmed art: an open manifesto" is the group exhibition showcasing the results of the reprogramming session of the artworks by Gruppo T and the experimental and collaborative experience of the workshop session carried out in Lugano.
The exhibition is hosted and organized by the association WeMake and takes place in Milan, opening on Thursday 5 March 2015.

In this tab, we display the list of interactions that you have selected using one of our
search features. Despite the fact that our data are annotated to accurately reflect
the interactions reported in scientific literature, the data is shown in this view
as binary interactions. Whenever the data was reported as a co-complex involving more
than two molecules, we store it as such in the IntAct database and post-process it so
the portal can show it as binary interaction. This post-processing is the Spoke Expansion

At any moment you can choose to display the expansion column in this view in order to see
which interaction are spoke expanded and which are not.
Some examples:
Whenever you start typing a query in this search panel, the system will

You can then select one of them and select matching interactions.
For example, type: cancer
You will be presented with a few choices, please note that each term is
followed by the count of matching interactions in the IntAct database.
Select a term with the mouse or using the keyboard cursor keys and you will
be taken to the interaction tab.
In this panel you will be able to draw all or part of a chemical structure
and search for chemical compounds. If you get any matched, you can then see
all interactions involving them.
First you have to open up the chemical search panel so that the applet

Police barricades are in place on the Upper East Side for Monday's public funeral for former New York City Mayor Ed Koch.
Koch died of congestive heart failure Friday morning at the age of 88.
Edward Irving Koch's funeral will be held at Temple Emanu-El on Monday morning. While friends, allies and political enemies reflect on the opinionated and combative three-term former mayor – it's Hizzoner who's getting the last word.
"I loved the job. People loved me. We were a great match."
If there was ever a man who loved to voice an opinion, it was Former Mayor Ed Koch.
In an interview with the New York Times, recorded in 2007 and embargoed until after his death -- Koch was candid about his feelings toward Mario and Andrew Cuomo. He voiced his decade's long displeasure over a feud stemming from campaign signs branding him gay during the '77 Democratic Primary.
"I always held it against him. I also held it against his son, Andy Cuomo."
Mario Cuomo, who lost that primary to Koch, only to later defeat him in a race for Governor, has always denied he had anything to do with the posters.
Koch reportedly got over the grudge in the last few years, but his post-mortem message to New York's current Governor is not flattering.
"Even though social relationships, when we meet in public are good. Underneath, he knows what I'm really thinking -- you (expletive) (laughs)."
That was typical Ed Koch -- bold, fiery, and always quotable. Just like the lifelong bachelor's answer to questions about his sexual orientation.
"My reaction was to say it's none of your (expletive) business."
"Ed was a guy who said what was on his mind."
Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes was Fire Commissioner under Ed Koch -- he's not surprised the man credited with saving the city from the brink of financial ruin was controversial and opinionated right up until the end.
"We will not see his kind ever again and that sounds extremely trite. But that's true. He was a great Mayor and I was glad to call him my friend," said Hynes.
"I want to be remembered as a proud Jew who loved the people of New York and did his best to make their lives better," said Koch.
Koch's funeral will be held at 11:00 a.m. Monday morning. A private Shiva will be held for him on Tuesday at Gracie Mansion.
President Bill Clinton will be one of the dignitaries who will speak at Ed Koch's funeral. Other speakers include Mayor Bloomberg and Ido Aharoni, The Israeli Consul General on New York as well as Koch's closest relatives and friends.

As expected the Senate did approve by a comfortable margin of 68-32, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013. what happens in the House is a whole different story. But for now lets look at how this will impact the Agricultural labor force.
Under this bill:
* Current undocumented farm worker would be eligible to obtain legal status through a new Blue Card Program if they choose to remain working in Agriculture.
* After a minimum of five, workers who fulfill their Blue Card requirements would become eligible to apply for a Green Card, providing they have no outstanding taxes, no convictions and pay a fine
* A new guest worker program would also be established providing two options
A) An "At-Will option" will allow workers to enter the country to accept a specific farm job with an authorized ag employer, under a three year Visa.They are then allowed to move within the country at will for any other authorized agricultural position
B) A "Contract -Based option" will allow workers to enter the country to a accept a specific contract position for a specific amount of work from an authorized employer
* All guest workers will be paid an agreed upon wage under the terms of the agreement
* There is a Visa cap for the first five years of the program while current workers are participating in the Blue Card program. The Secretary of Agriculture does have the authority to modify the cap.
Speaking to numerous agricultural sources they feel this is a good and equitable proposal that provides a stable work force for agriculture, it makes immigrants earn their chance at citizenship and also enhances our abilities to secure our borders. many agricultural organizations were grateful to the Senate for allowing them to be a part of the dialogue that resulted in the final bill.
Now again this is anything but a done deal. House leadership is stating it may not even bring the Senate bill to the floor and that they want to write their own immigration package. There are also some conservative lawmakers who say they won't support any bill that allows illegals to become U.S. citizens.
So the road ahead is far from smooth, but at least for now, the first steps have been taken.

text: I am pretty sure that the "Harlem Shake" trend is slowly and surely dying but I must admit that this is hysterical. Shortly after their first kiss as husband and wife, this wedding party, AND ALSO THE PASTOR, breaks down into the Harlem Shake to the amusement of all the guests. I don't think I would do this at my wedding ceremony, but what about you? Are you funny enough to try?

All i have to say is that is a pretty damn bold statement. She better back up that talk.
Maybe he meant the Super Bowl in Madden 2012....lol Ravens are not going to the Super Bowl...book it....
LOL! Talk is cheap. We've been hearing this from that corner of the world for how long now? In today's nfl you need a franchise qb to go far. And they have josephine squats to pee ****stick. He'll find some way to blow it in the playoff as always........

It's nothing new, he's always shooting his mouth off. They will go as far as Flacco will take them, period. That defense can be scored on if you get after their secondary.
With Boldin out they will be lucky to beat the bengals

Clear Skin at Any Age
Treating Adult Acne with Murad
Adult acne has the same treatment needs as all breakouts do – you'll want to focus on using acne medications that treat the causes of your blemishes rather than just dry out your skin. But if you have adult acne, you also have other skin care concerns that you may not have had when you were younger. From wrinkles to dark spots to dulling, your skin needs to be treated differently as it matures. Murad adult acne products are formulated to provide a balance between care for aging skin and rapid resolution of breakouts. Combined with Inclusive Health™ lifestyle choices, Murad adult acne products can give you clear, glowing skin at any age.
Acne Treatment Resources
Before you begin your acne treatment regimen, make sure that you understand acne's causes and your medication options so you can distinguish acne facts from acne myths.

Tribes-like Shooter Coming to InstantAction.com from GarageGamesThough several titles have been announced for GarageGames' web-based 3D gaming venture InstantAction.com, what could certainly be the most anticipated title has yet to be unveiled. A source close to GarageGames told Shacknews a team-based online shooter in the vein of Dynamix' Starsiege: Tribes will be coming to the gaming service soon from GarageGames' own developers.
GarageGames was of course founded by many ex-Dynamix employees, and the source said the company would most likely be making an official announcement for the game in December. Shacknews has separately learned GarageGames has increased its employee count severalfold throughout 2007, with the goal of moving more into full game development alongside its Torque middleware and engine products. Development of the Tribes-like title began two months ago, the source added, but the cycle should be relatively short compared to most projects.
Combined with the instant online distribution of InstantAction.com, a 2008 release would seem fairly probable. For more on InstantAction.com, check out the Shack's coverage of the venture and previews of a few already announced titles.
