School's out and most youngsters are letting loose outside, which is what summer is all about, but during summer, there's an increase in the chances of accidental injuries. Kids are prone to scrapes and bruises on their knees or elbows, but it's every mother's nightmare is to see her baby or toddler severely injured. The sight of blood can be frightening, but it's important to stay calm and in control, especially in front of your toddler. Better and sound decisions are made when nerves are settled.
Cuts & Lacerations:
Firstly, apply direct pressure to stop all active bleeding using a clean gauze or cloth over the injury for at least five minutes. Do not release pressure prematurely as this may result in more bleeding. If bleeding resumes after continuous pressure, call your doctor right away. Even minor cuts to the head and/or face can bleed profusely because of the rich vascular supply to these areas. If the cut is small and you feel comfortable treating it at home, wash the wound with soap and water until you get rid of all dirt and debris. Apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment, e.g. Neosporin, then cover it with a sterile wrap. Applying a butterfly bandage to minor cuts to hold edges together during the healing process provides excellent protection.
Remember that even small cuts that don't bleed excessively can still be deep (more than ½ inch) and need medical attention. Injury to the underlying nerves, muscles and tendons can occur even if a surface wound appears non-threatening. Lacerations on the face, chest and back may leave disfiguring scars if the wound does not heal properly. Suturing these types of wounds by a trained medical professional can ensure proper healing and result in less visible scars.
If in doubt, visit your doctor so she can examine the wound for foreign objects such as dirt or glass that can lead to infection and poor wound healing. Your child may not allow thorough examination of the wound, particularly if he is in pain and/or distress; in this situation, your doctor can apply a local anesthetic called lidocaine so she can examine it better.
Note from the BabyLegs team: BabyLegs can protect from scraped knees and elbows and can also be used to protect bandages and gauze, casts, and any other dressings.
Serious burns in children can result from sunburn, hot-water scalds, fire or electrical contact, a hot iron or chemicals. As quickly as you can, submerge the burn area in cold water for as long as your child can withstand it to cool the area and relieve the pain. It is not recommended to use ice since this may delay healing. Rubbing on the burn area can also cause it to blister.
Soak any smoldering clothing in cold water followed by removal of any clothing from the burned area unless it is tightly adhering to the burned surface. In this instance, cut away as much clothing as possible. Cover the burn with a sterile gauze or a dry cloth and seek medical attention immediately. Stay away from home remedies such as applying butter, grease or powder on burns as all of these can only make the injury worse.
Animal Bites:
Majority of animal bites in children are inflicted by animals that the child knows, including the family cat or dog. Even though these bites are minor, they can cause disfigurement and scarring if bitten on the face, and can also result in anxiety and fear. There are estimated 4.7 million dog bites, 400,000 cat bites, 45,000 snake bites and 250,000 bites by other people (mostly children) reported annually from pediatric emergency centers. 50 out of every 100 people bitten by a cat get an infection, compared to 20 of every 100 following dog or human bites.
If active bleeding is noted, apply direct pressure to area for at least 5 minutes. Then wash wound thoroughly with soap and water and consult your pediatrician. Regardless of how minor the bite appears, contact your pediatrician so he can check if your child has been adequately immunized against tetanus or if he needs treatment for rabies.
Most children who swallow poisons recover, especially if they received immediate medical attention.
Once you discover that your child has ingested any form of poison, stay calm and notify your pediatrician. Also immediately call the national toll-free number for Poison Help Line at 1-800-222-1222 accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will be speaking to experts who can give you step-by-step instructions on what to do depending on the type of poison your child ingested.
Most nosebleeds are caused by a child picking the nose, an accidental blow to the nose, or sinusitis and allergies. In the event of a nosebleed, have your child sit down and using his thumb and index finger, pinch the area just behind the tip of nose while opening the mouth to breathe and placing head down between the knees. Younger children may require an adult to do this for them. Bleeding normally stops after 5-10 minutes. Usual blood loss from nosebleeds are minimal, however if bleeding continues for more than 10-15 minutes of pressure, call your doctor or take him to the emergency room for a possible cautery.
From my family to yours, I wish all of you BabyLeggers and fun, happy, and safe summer with your children. Enjoy them while they are young!

Ugh, unchanged lineup. If Beer gets selected, plays like ****, does this mean we can get Hauritz back for Sydney? Please?
Any chance Cosgrove's name might be thrown in the hat if Ponting doesn't pull up, or is he still too fat these days?
Yeah he's in quite some form. It would make our lower order amazingly strong with Johnson back in nick.
citoyens, vouliez-vous une révolution sans révolution?
Is just so infuriating that the selectors haven't even waited till the end of the NSW-QLD game before picking the squad. Means that Hauritz could take a bagful to go with his second consecutive ton and still be completely overlooked. Ridiculous.
So which versions of the Jekyll and Hyde outfits that are Australia and England will turn up in Melbourne.
Be nice if both play well in the same game for a change.
Hauritz will never play again...How can he? He solds his pads at a garage sale.
It'd be tough on Beer to be dropped from the squad, but there's no reason why the selectors couldn't have announced a 13 man squad.
I would not want to lose an Ashes series because the selectors were too stubborn to pick the best spinner in the country.

Republican candidate Willard "Mitt" Romney released his tax returns late last night. He wasn't kidding when he said "returns" plural: in addition to his personal 2010 returns, Romney released those of three trusts and a charitable foundation, plus an estimate of his 2011 return. The trusts are all grantor trusts, and the income from those are reflected on his personal returns.
I don't put much stock in the 2011 estimated return – way too much guessing going on there.
I haven't had time to go through them all, but what quickly jumped out at me was the 13.9% effective tax rate (total tax paid of $3,009,766 divided by total income of $21,661,344). Let's just say that my total income was significantly less than the total tax paid 🙂 and my effective rate was higher than that – and that doesn't include my contributions to Social Security and Medicare. That's what happens when the source of income is from qualified dividends and capital gains, which receive a preferential rate over ordinary income, like wages and interest.
In last night's debate, Romney questioned Newt Gingrich on his 0% rate for capital gains, which would virtually wipe out Ronmey's tax liability. Gingrich says yes, he wants that rate for those people because they are the "job creators." Looking at Romney's tax return I see only one job created: they have a household employee that was paid a total of $20,603. Um, that isn't much job creation to justify a zero tax rate, now is it?
I'll look at the returns a little closer when I have more time. And as of this writing, none of the stories written about the returns are worthy of linking to since they all just repeat the same topline information.

Mainstream media outlets around the world have declared Barack Obama the victor in yesterday's US presidential elections, but particle physicists at CERN say that the race is still too close to call.
With every state except Florida reporting, the New York Times announced that Obama had won the popular vote and easily gained the electoral college points needed to win re-election. The Princeton Election Consortium put the probability of Obama's victory at 99.2%.
But that confidence level is still several standard deviations away from the point at which particle physicists would be willing to declare the next president. According to the norms of the field, pollsters would have to be 99.99995% confident that Obama had won before physicists would be willing to call the race.
"All we can say right now is there is some evidence that Barack Obama will return to the White House in January," says Marcus Georgio, head of the SISYPHUS collaboration at CERN. "The data simply doesn't support anything beyond that."
Privately, many physicists at the lab blamed America's fractured voting system for their inability to announce a definitive result. Each of the fifty states sets its own voting rules and each uses a different system of paper ballots, electronic voting platforms, or punch cards. "Integrating this kind of data is frankly a nightmare," says one physicist who asked not to be named for fear of appearing critical of the democratic process. "There are a variety of poorly documented systems and virtually no metadata." The task is made more difficult by the fact that data are collected by county rather than polling station or individual houses. "The binning is just awful," he complains.
But Georgio says that blaming the electoral apparatus is overly simplistic. Even if all 300 million residents of the United States voted, and all their votes were known to near perfect accuracy, "it's still not clear whether the result would be statistically robust enough to declare an Obama victory," he says.
Physicists say that they will continue to monitor the election closely. In the meantime, based on integrated data from all previous elections combined, they are ready to declare Benjamin Harrison the 23rd president of the United States.
Satire, obviously, and with apologies to @CERN. And if you like real science news, why not follow me on twitter: @gbrumfiel

Industry efforts to reduce foreclosures are expanding and improving – a welcome sign of progress in what remains a race to keep up with rising mortgage delinquencies.
The Hope Now Alliance, a group including some of the nation's biggest lenders, announced Tuesday an agreement with mortgage-service companies to modify a greater share of at-risk loans, rather than let them fall into foreclosure.
Among other things, the new guidelines are designed to ensure that participating companies move quickly – deciding within 45 days whether they can modify a loan.
Also, Hope Now said it was launching the mortgage lending industry's first-ever guidelines for dealing with second mortgages. Often, it's been hard to offer relief on the terms of mortgages because many borrowers owe money to two mortgage holders with different interests in "workout" negotiations.
Housing analysts say that, although a full recovery in the housing market won't come with any overnight agreement, the moves by lenders represent a significant step forward.
"Any kind of improvements they can make are ... important," says Ren Essene, a housing market expert at the Joint Center for Housing Studies in Cambridge, Mass. "Clearly they're trying to respond just in time ... as they're learning on the ground what kinds of barriers the borrowers are meeting."
By cutting the number of foreclosures, the new steps could reduce the blight of hard-hit neighborhoods, especially in states such as Florida and California where the problems are most concentrated. And, by reducing the number of fire-sale home auctions, downward pressure on home prices could ease.
This new relief effort comes none too soon. The national foreclosure rate has been rising to record levels, and the upward trend has not abated.
The problems have been concentrated in the so-called subprime loans, but defaults have been rising in prime loans as well. And for one risky class of loans – adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) in which the borrower has the option to pay none of the principal balance at the start of the loan – a wave of loan adjustments or "resets" looms in the coming year and beyond.
"These new guidelines will greatly expedite the process of preventing foreclosures," Faith Schwartz, executive director of Hope Now, said in a statement Tuesday.
Hope Now members account for roughly two-thirds of US mortgages.
For the first time, the new guidelines establish a common, streamlined timetable that will be used by each participating mortgage servicer when working with a homeowner to prevent a foreclosure, the group says.
The guidelines involve a common set of principles on alternatives such as loan modifications or repayment plans – and the treatment of second-mortgage holders.
In recent months, they have been expanding the number of loan "workouts," but the effort hasn't kept pace with the rising tide of foreclosures. A rising share of the workouts involve "loan modifications," such as a reduction of interest rate or loan balance. Still, these "loan mods" represent less than half of all workouts.
In so-called "piggyback" loans, a borrower owes the most to one primary lender, and a smaller amount on a second mortgage. Together, the two loans may represent 100 percent of the home's purchase price.
"We make an industrywide commitment that second lien mortgages will not stand in the way" of loan workouts, Steve Bartlett, President and CEO of the Financial Services Roundtable, said in a conference call with reporters.
Under the plan, participating lenders who hold second liens will allow loan modifications to move forward under specific new parameters. Those second lenders will not see a reduction in the amount they are owed and will retain their status of second in line to the primary lender, the group said.
Another goal of the new guidelines is to clarify the options available, streamlining discussions and encouraging borrowers who may be reluctant to talk with banks.
"My own view is [that the result] will be at least a 20 percent increase in the number of homeowners assisted," Mr. Bartlett said.
Representatives of Hope Now said their moves complement, rather than compete, with possible legislation in Congress to encourage more loan refinancings guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration.
Data on the magnitude of the foreclosure crisis – and the efforts to resolve it – are hard to pin down, says Ms. Essene, the analyst in Cambridge.
But according to data gathered by Hope Now, the industry worked with borrowers on 183,000 loan workouts in April, up from 151,000 last December.
But the effort hasn't kept pace with the number of loans entering foreclosure, which rose to 204,000 in April, the group says.
A rising share of the workouts involve a reduction of interest rate or loan balance. Still, such loan modifications represent less than half of all workouts.
Repayment plans, still the bulk of workouts as of April, leave a high risk of foreclosure.
That leaves the question of whether additional policy efforts may be needed to deal with the housing crunch.
"Congress could do more," and may need to do more, Essene says.

Sometimes you find that your lifestyle, or (in some cases) your job, means that you parent somewhat differently than may be the norm. This rare moment of self-reflection came when I was standing in my daughter's room, watching her sleep through a pair of night-vision goggles. This way, I can make sure she actually is sleeping without turning on a light and perhaps waking her, or alerting her to my presence as I bear witness to whatever level of shenanigans she's getting up to.
I wonder, idly, if there is enough ambient light to see the outline of my head. I then wonder if this is how alien abduction memories begin.
Ars Technica reviewed JAKKS Pacific's first pass at night vision technology back in September of last year, but that design had a few flaws. The goggles strapped onto your face too tightly and only allowed one eye to see what was around you in the dark. This made it almost impossible to move normally, and it reduced the toy from a tactical advantage to a fun novelty.
With this second stab at the design, JAKKS has fixed many of these problems: now the goggles operate more like binoculars. They fit around your neck, and they're brought to your face only when you need to see something in the dark. Both eyes also now have a screen in front of them, with a dial to adjust interpupillary distance, so you get a nice, clear, large image of what's going on in front of you.
This makes the product, dare I say, useful? If you don't mind carrying around a large black lump of plastic with you that looks vaguely threatening, this thing has all sorts of uses. My apartment building has a scary-looking staircase going down to the basement entrance outside, and you have to walk away from it when taking out your garbage. Last night I peeked over the railing with the goggles on, peering down into the jet black. All I saw were bum-leavins', and no ninja-attackers. I could rest easy.
Keep in mind that these products don't use true night-vision; instead they operate as an infra-red flashlight, with an optical sensor that can pick up infra-red light. That means that with the goggles on you can see the light coming from your Wii sensor bar, or from your remote control, and if you look at another set of goggles you'll see a blaze of light; it's not like you could get two sets and hunt a friend who also has one; you'd look like beacons to each other when switched on. The goggles also take five AA batteries, making them expensive to feed. The good news is the product is now less expensive, with the binocular-style coming in at $59.99.
The EyeClops Night Vision 2.0 goggles are a fun, inexpensive toy with many neat uses... especially if you're the only person with a set and you're taking part in a midnight Nerf-war, which is something you should plan. The binocular design is a big improvement from the strap-on design of the first set, which took away a large amount of your equilibrium. This is one of those rare times a company makes a product cheaper, yet better.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Is the immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT) currently being used for community-based colorectal screening that you know of? This test does not require the fasting needed with the gFOBT test and may be more attractive. Medicare currently covers the cost of the iFOBT but I wondered whether you had any anecdotal evidence of it being used for a community screening.
Timothy C. Hoops, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Gastroenterology Division at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of Gastroenterology at Penn Medicine at Radnor, responds:
I do not know of anyone who is using the iFOBT. While fecal occult blood testing has been proven to be an effective way of screening for colon cancer, most of the screening has now changed to colonoscopies. Too many of the FOBTs were positive without cancer or were negative despite cancers being present (a problem of sensitivity and specificity). While iFOBT has been proven to be more accurate in detecting hemoglobin in the stool (not from the diet), it has not achieved much usage in our institution. It may be worthwhile to contact the manufacturer if you need to use this product.

The Next Generation of Moore's Law

At the COMSOL Conference in Boston, Lam Research Corporation held a keynote talk about Moore's law and its role in computational modeling. The keynote touched on how Moore's law has not only impacted the advancement of simulation tools, but also how the development of these tools have themselves allowed Moore's law to hold true. The concept was something that interested me, and I know it's been on the minds of many electrical engineers as well. Case in point, when browsing […]Ler Mais

Until recently, simulation had not been widely used by vacuum system designers because of an absence of commercial simulation tools. Last October, my colleague James Ransley held a webinar about how to model vacuum systems using COMSOL Multiphysics. The webinar was a great success, and it inspired us to produce a dedicated product for modeling vacuum applications: the Molecular Flow Module (new with version 4.3b).

A Wilkinson power divider is a common three-port power splitter circuit that is used to split an input signal into two equal output signals, or to combine two signals into one. Unlike resistive or T-junction power dividers, a Wilkinson power divider allows for nearly complete isolation between the two ports and adds no resistive losses to the power split. Because of these characteristics, a Wilkinson divider is widely used in radio communication systems due to its ability to prevent crosstalk […]Ler Mais

Laminar static mixers are used for the accurate mixing of fluids (both liquid and gas). Unlike a mixer containing moving blades, a static mixer contains twisted stationary blades that are positioned at different angles throughout the cylindrical flow channel of the mixer. When a fluid is pumped through the channel, the alternating directions of the cross-sectional blades cause the fluid to become mixed as it passes along the length of the channel. This mixing technique allows for precise control over […]Ler Mais

When analyzing a bolted joint, one thing to consider for an accurate analysis is the bolt pretension. With COMSOL Multiphysics, the effects of prestressing a bolt can be easily computed using the Bolt Pre-tension feature available in the Structural Mechanics Module. After modeling prestressed bolts, a further analysis can then be conducted on an external load applied to the structure. Here, we will explore how to include prestressed bolts in a tube connection model, and then carry out a stress […]Ler Mais

The momentum at the other end is the spin in the block and the directional momentum from where you pushed it.
Consider now that the energy on you is a zero value, (we can now ignore the spin momentum on me) the rope is taut, but the block contains both directional momentum and spin momentum, therefore, there is more energy at the gold end that at your end.
Thus, the block will continue to move in the same direction, albeit at a slower rate and start to unwind that spin momentum, which it has been doing all the time of its travel, ergo, the gold block will now start to pull you and you and the block are traveling in the SAME direction.
Who cares if the block continues to spin and coil the rope, YOU have directional momentum and will achieve the edge eventually.
Probably very dizzy from all that spinning.Spoiler:gmalivuk wrote:
I misunderstood what you meant by negating spin, but as it turns out spin isn't relevant to why it can't work anyway.
If the gold block does something to pull in the rope,
or if you do something to pull in the rope,a tension is applied to the rope and it pulls on both you and the block equally. There's no way to get around that basic Newtonian fact of the matter.
tl;dr If A + B = C + D, but A is negated, then B <> C + D, ergo you are pulled.
How do you stop spinning without imparting angular momentum to something else?

(Rewrites first paragraph, adds details, background)
By Alexei Oreskovic and Yinka Adegoke
NEW YORK, June 14 (Reuters) - YouTube's boss said that cable television channels with small audiences will in the future migrate to the Web and become available on a stand-alone basis, potentially making a home for themselves on the No.1 video website.
The cable channels could provide more professionally produced content for YouTube as it weighs selling subscriptions for consumers to access some of its video offerings.
As YouTube, owned by Google Inc (GOOG.O), ponders selling subscriptions, it has "seen demand from the kind of networks that have smaller audiences on cable," and which get very little or no affiliate fees from cable distributors, Kamangar said at the Reuters Media and Technology Summit on Thursday.
"I see those kinds of networks becoming available in the future on the Web and I see those becoming available in an a la carte basis," he said.
Cable channels are traditionally sold in fixed bundles of up to 100 channels — an arrangement which has triggered grumbles from consumer advocates as the price of even the cheapest package outpaces inflation.
New entrants like Google, Intel Corp (INTC.O) and Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) among others have tried to convince major content owners to allow them to sell smaller bundles of TV networks to consumers over the Internet. But the network owners have refused to break the cable bundles for fear of undermining their lucrative $100 billion relationship with their traditional distributors.
Kamangar told Reuters that Google had thought long and hard about bringing traditional programming to YouTube but had found it too expensive.
Small to midsize networks with fewer viewers sometimes struggle in the cable space as they have less leverage to raise their prices with the operators.
Kamangar's comments come as Department of Justice has launched an inquiry into whether cable TV distributors are hampering development of the fledgling online video sector.[ID:nL1E8HDHAO]
One of the key issues Justice is looking at is how the cable industry insists on only selling bundles of networks to cable and satellite partners.
Large media companies, meanwhile, are increasingly looking at ways to offer their own specialized programs on YouTube, seeking potential acquisitions in some of the specialized video "channels" currently available on YouTube.
"The top network executives are really taking notice. They're asking questions about who is doing well, about who is building a professional management team. And I think eyes are very much on this space now," said Kamangar.
Discovery Communications' (DISCA.O) acquisition of Web video provider Revision3 last month is the first of more such deals that Kamangar predicted will happen in the coming year.
"They're circling," he said, of media companies' interest in online-video programmers.
YouTube, the world's No.1 video website, which streams more than 4 billion videos every day, is moving to add professional-grade video programs to the vast archive of amateur, home-shot videos that made the site popular.
In October YouTube announced that it had struck 100 original video programming deals with media partners including pop star Madonna and hip-hop mogul Jay-Z. Thomson Reuters is among YouTube's partners.
Roughly half the channels have launched so far, said Kamangar, and the top ten channels are each getting about one million views a week.
Kamangar said the channels are also drawing interest from large brand advertisers such as Toyota and Unilever that have spent money to advertise on the channels.
YouTube is also considering making some of the original video programs featured on recently launched YouTube "channels" available for a fee, which would be shared by the content provider and YouTube.
"There's a lot of demand from some of our top video game networks," Kamangar said. "They have such a big audiences that they can start to segment their audiences into those that are willing to pay a higher amount" for things like new gaming tricks.
He also cited sports such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship as being ideally suited for online subscriptions.
YouTube currently makes money by selling advertising including pre-roll video ads and sponsorships of certain parts of the site, though Google does not break out financial results for YouTube.

Wilko fit for Wallabies
June 6, 2010
Jonny Wilkinson is fit to face Australia if selected © Getty Images
Jonny Wilkinson will be fit to tackle the Wallabies in Perth next Saturday, it has been confirmed.
Australia's arch nemesis, who scored the winning drop goal in the 2003 World Cup final, has been training on his own since the squad arrived in Australia after suffering rib damage in Toulon's Amlin Challenge Cup final defeat.
The initial medical advice from Toulon was that Wilkinson may not have been able to take contact until Thursday, but coach Martin Johnson confirmed he has been cleared for a return to action 48 hours early - giving England's preparations a major boost as they chase only their third ever Test victory on Australian soil.
"Jon Golding, Dave Strettle and Jonny will all resume full training this week," said Johnson. "They will run to a degree tomorrow (Monday) and will be back in full training by Tuesday - Jon probably by Wednesday or Thursday.
"They will all be fit by Saturday and if they are fit for full training, they are fit to go out and play."
Wilkinson played a key role in both England's triumphs Down Under - in June 2003 and then in the Rugby World Cup final five months later.
Wing David Strettle and prop Job Golding are also expected to be in contention for Test selection after making progress with their ankle and rib problems.

Mortal Kombat Trilogy – Sub-Zero
Sub-Zero by KasketDarkfyre
Version: 1.1 | Updated: 09/27/99
From: email@example.com
Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 01:12:32 EDT
Sub Zero Character FAQ: Version 1.1
Section 1: Introduction
Section 2: Classic Sub-Zero
-Finishing Moves
-Ending Movie
Section 3: Sub-Zero
-Finishing Moves
-Ending Movie
Section 4: Credits
-=Section 1: Introduction=-
This FAQ is intended to be an informational guide for Sub-Zero, possibly
one of the most played Mortal Kombat characters in the series. This FAQ will
cover both the Masked and Un-Masked Sub-Zero's, covering their moves,
finishing moves, and endings.
-=Section 2: Classic Sub-Zero=-
Thought to have been vanquished in the Shaolin tournament, Sub-Zero
mysteriously returns. It's believed this secretive member of the Lin Kuei, a
legendary clan of Chinese "ninjas", has returned to again attempt an
assassination of Shang Tsung. To do so, he must fight his way through Shao
Kahn's tournament.
-=Classic Sub-Zero's Moves=-
Ice Ball: Quarter Circle Forward + High Punch
*Sub-Zero throws a ball of ice across the screen, freezing his opponent*
Ice Puddle: Quarter Circle Backward + Low Kick
*Sub-Zero throws a ball of ice into the ground, creating a puddle which an
advancing opponent slips on*
Slide: Back + Low Kick + Low Punch + Block
*Sub-Zero slide across the ground, knocking his opponent off their feet*
-=Classic Sub-Zero's Finishing Moves=-
Finishing Move 1: (Close Range)Down + Down + Down + Forward + High Punch
*Sub-Zero reverts back to his classic finishing move, gripping the opponents
head, and tearing backward, although the screen fades before seperation ,you
still hear the scream and rip*
Finishing Move 2: (Close Range) Down + Forward + Forward + Forward + High
*Sub-Zero uppercuts the opponent, and rains ice down onto the ground,
creating a spike into the air, soon after, the opponent comes crashing down
atop of it*
Animality: (Stand Close) Back + Back + Down + Forward + Low Punch
Brutality: High Punch - Low Punch - High Punch - Block - Low Kick - Low Kick
- High Kick - High Kick - Low Punch - High Punch - Low Punch
*Sub-Zero gets brutal with several two-fisted uppercuts a few roundhouse
kicks exploding the opponent into a thousand pieces*
Friendship: (Close) Down - Back - Back - Forward - Low Kick
*Turns a jack in the box until a giant snowman head pops out, scaring the
opponent away*
Pit Fatality: Forward - Down - Forward - Forward - High Punch
-=Sub-Zero's Combo's=-
First Combo: High Punch - High Punch - Back + Low Kick - Back + High Kick -
Forward + Low Kick (26%)
Second Combo: High Punch - High Punch - Down + Low Punch - Down + High Punch
- Jump Kick - Slide (33%)
I've found that with Classic Sub-Zero, you can do major damage against just
about anyone, either on this game, or in the Arcade. If you range both your
Ice Ball and your Ice Puddle, no one can jump in, or jump out.
Playing against him at higher levels, will net you a headache. He is quick
to counter punch a jump kick, and even quicker to drop an Ice Puddle when you
land, and smash you with an uppercut.
-=Classic Sub-Zero's Ending Movie=-
Having been killed in the first tournament, Sub-Zero somehow seems to have
emerged to win the third tournament. However, upon removing his mask both
the Outworld and the Earth-born warriors are shocked to discover the true
identity of this warrior. A warrior who has long been missing from a
previous Mortal Kombat, and one who will return in the fourth tournament.
-=Section 3: Sub-Zero=-
The ninja returns unmasked. He was betrayed by his own clan, the Lin
Kuei. He broke sacred codes of honor by leaving his clan and is marked for
death. But, unlike the ninja, his persurors come as machines. He must not
only defend from the Outworld, but he must elude his souless assassins.
-=Sub-Zero's Moves=-
Ice Ball: Quarter Circle Forward + High Punch
*Sub-Zero throws ice in the direction of his opponent, freezing them in place*
Ice Rain: (Three Ranges)
On Opponent: Quarter Circle Forward + Low Punch
In Front of: Down + Forward + Back + Low Punch
Behind Oppn: Down + Back + Forward + Low Punch
*Sub-Zero unleashes a rain of ice from the air down atop of his opponent*
Ice Clone: Quarter Circle Back + Low Punch
(Can be done in Mid-Air)
*Sub-Zero ducks from harms way with a clone of himself. Once the opponent
hits the clone, it freezes*
Slide: Back + Low Punch + Block + Low Kick
*Slide forward as if sliding on ice, knocking the opponent off their feet*
-=Sub-Zero's Finishing Moves=-
Fatality 1: (Close) Block - Block - Run - Block - Run
*Sub-Zero gets physcial, grabbing up his opponent, and freezing them, takes a
second, and then snaps them over his head, raining blood and body parts
across the ground*
Fatality 2: (Sweep Range) Back - Back - Down - Back - Run
*Sub-Zero opens his hand, and blows a frozen mist into his opponent, turning
them to a statue of ice, which topples and shatters across the ground*
Animality: Forward - Up - Up
*Turns into a giant Polar Bear, and maus the opponent viciously*
Brutality: High Punch - Low Kick - High Kick - Low Punch - High Punch - High
Kick - High Kick - High Punch - High Punch - Low Punch
*The Iceman Cometh in this wicked combo that reduces the opponent to bloody
Friendship: (Hold Block) Low Kick - Run - Run - Up
*Sub-Zero turns himself into a giant snowman*
Pit Fatality: Back - Down - Forward - Forward - High Kick
-=Sub-Zero's Combo's=-
First Combo: High Kick - High Kick - Back + High Kick (18%)
Second Combo: High Punch - High Punch - Low Punch - Low Kick - Back + High
Kick - Back + High Kick (23%)
Third Combo: High Punch - High Punch - Low Kick - Back + High Kick - Back +
High Kick( 26%)
Fourth Combo: High Punch - High Punch - Low Punch - Back + High Kick (22%)
Sub-Zero in his unmasked form, is a powerhouse. If you can master the
timing of the Ice Showers, and the various combos that can be performed after
a freeze, you'll rule the PSX and an arcade machine.
Playing against him is a bit hard. He can counter anything that you have
with a well timed Ice Shower. Not to be underestimated, he can cost you a few
-=Sub-Zero's Ending Movie=-
In vicious battle, Sub-Zero faces Cyrax and Sektor: but not alone. He
finds his third Lin Kuei assassin - the elusive Smoke. Before automation,
Smoke and Sub-Zero were allies. Sub-Zero helps Smoke recall his past and
regains him as an ally once again. Sub-Zero defeats his cyborg assassins with
the help of Smoke and finds it takes all of his own inner strengths to defeat
Kahn and his Outworld minions. The former ninja once again disappears into
the shadows, his legacy known only by a select few.

A large sign with the Dunkin' Donuts logo announces the anticipated opening of a new shop on South Kipling Parkway in the coming months. The steel framework for the building is in place at the site, where construction workers are making progress on completing the project by this summer.
Josh Blanchard, one of the owners of the franchise, says he is thrilled to be opening a second Dunkin' Donuts in Littleton. Another shop is on West Mineral Avenue.
Trader Joe's, a specialty grocery store with its own food brands, is celebrating the opening of its store in the Bowles Crossing Shopping Center this Thursday.
The company has leased a 13,000-square-foot space for the store near the intersection of South Wadsworth Boulevard and West Bowles Avenue where a Staples formerly was located.
Construction workers are grading a 12-acre site at West Belleview Avenue and Alkire Street to build an apartment complex with 256 units.
Plans for the Belle Vue project include seven two-, three- and four-story buildings, four carriage buildings with garages and townhome-style units, and a community center with an outdoor swimming pool. Other amenities at the complex will include a fitness center, dog walking area and a bicycle and ski repair shop, said Jimmy McCloskey of Embrey, the developer of the project.
3D Systems celebrated the grand opening of its Healthcare Technology Center in the Mountain West Business Center last Thursday.
Chuck Hull, company co-founder, and Blessing Makwera, a patient who has benefited from the medical technology developed by 3D Systems, presided at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The company uses medical imaging studies for diagnosis and clinical treatment of patients. 3D Systems provides comprehensive 3D products and services, including 3D printers, print materials, on-demand parts services and digital design tools.
Waterstone Community Church is offering property for sale to a developer that is planning to build four assisted-living group homes near the church on Alkire Drive.
Each of the assisted-living homes would be approximately 9,200 square feet in size and would house 16 people, according to the proposal.
The developer, A Better Way Realty, is funding the project, and Christian Living Services would provide the management, according the pre-application sent to the Jeffco Planning and Zoning Department.
Branch manager David Lercher and his team spent the past few weeks setting up product displays at Colorado Electric Supply on Shaffer Parkway.
"We're just finishing up the renovations and hope customers will be impressed when they walk into the new store," Lercher said. "I'm just really excited to finally get the doors open."
Lercher says the store, which is near the Ken Caryl Avenue/C-470 interchange, is bringing service to an area with an unmet need.
Shoppers at Southwest Plaza in South Jeffco are paying a new 1.5 percent sales tax that took effect Jan.1.
Board members of the Southwest Plaza Metropolitan District approved the tax as an alternative to annexation into the town of Bow Mar, said John Mullins, manager of the district.
"We wanted to heed the wishes of neighbors who asked us not to annex into the city," Mullins said.
The community spoke loudly against annexation, he added.
The Walmart Neighborhood Market on West Bowles Avenue closed permanently Jan. 17.
The store is among 154 Walmarts closing across the country, said company spokeswoman Anne Hatfield. The bulk of the closures under way involve Walmart Express stores, which have been in operation since 2011. Only a handful of neighborhood markets and supercenters are closing, she said.
A corporate decision about closing selected Walmart stores has been under consideration since last fall, Hatfield said.
Construction workers were placing steel beams on the frame of a three-story building under construction in the Ken Caryl Business Park on West Chatfield Avenue on Jan. 13.
When completed in late summer, the 24,000-square-foot office building will serve as the new international headquarters for the Behavior Analyst Certification Board Inc. The facility will provide additional space to accommodate the growth of the company, which offers certification and credentials for professionals working in the mental health field.
Yoga instructors Justin Kaliszewski and Megan Zamora are proud of their new studio in Old Town Littleton with a unique name: Outlaw Yoga. A welcoming space with soft green walls and polished wood floors, the yoga studio offers 30 classes a week, which include meditation and restorative yoga.
However, the trademark brand of yoga that Kaliszewski and Zamora teach is physically challenging and technically simple at the same time. And it's a lot of fun, Kaliszewski said.

The final question brought endless options.
In the news conference Sunday to explain his resignation, Mack Brown had said all of the right things, just like always. Glancing occasionally at notes, handwritten on both sides of a sheet of paper, he'd insisted he could have stayed on, that it was his call, but leaving was "what's best for Texas."
Brown had thanked everyone from the school's president to Texas high-school coaches. He'd admitted the last few seasons fell well short of expectations, while noting the standard had been elevated by his previous teams. He'd said he had "no anger and no regrets."
WHO'S NEXT? Texas coaching candidates
"We're leaving it better than we found it," Brown said, "and it has been a fun ride."
ANALYSIS: Pros, cons of Texas job
The whole thing was vintage Mack Brown: composed, articulate, all class. "A tour de force," new athletic director Steve Patterson called it. "Elegant," Texas President Bill Powers said. They were both correct, and it was another illustration of the high standard Brown set on and off the field for Texas, and how difficult he will be to follow. And then here came the last question:
STEPPING DOWN: One game left for Brown
What would Brown change if he could?
"There would be two things," he said. "I would want Cole Pittman back. And I would want the bonfire (tragedy) not to have happened at A&M."
The coach could have taken the moment to lash out at critics, the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately types who ultimately pushed him out after 16 seasons. He could have dissected the mistakes that led to his downfall: Missing out on all of those quarterbacks, or losing too often — and too big — to rival Oklahoma. Or more likely, he could have gotten introspective, one more time, about what might have been:
If only, for example, Colt McCoy hadn't been hurt early in the 2010 BCS national championship game. Brown will forever insist it cost the Longhorns victory over Alabama. He just might be right, and it would not be wrong to draw a line from that moment all the way, inevitably, to Brown's resignation on Saturday. So many things changed; McCoy's shoulder went numb, and the program did, too.
And yet given the opportunity — a free shot on his way out the door — Brown didn't talk about those things, or football at all. He pointed instead to two moments he had already referred to as "tough days" in his tenure.
In November 1999, 12 Texas A&M students died when the traditional bonfire structure they were building collapsed a few days before the Aggies' annual Thanksgiving Day game with the Longhorns. And almost 13 years ago now, Pittman, a sophomore defensive end, died in a one-vehicle accident while returning to Austin from his home in Shreveport, La.
"Those are two horrible things in my life that I'll never forget," Brown said.
It was time for Brown to go. Since his arrival, he had returned Texas to a perch among college football's elite, but the program had fallen in the last few years. He said he wrestled with the decision all week, but recognized the program needed new energy. As he leaves, don't forget what he meant as both a coach and ambassador for Texas football.
Several hundred miles away in Shreveport, Cole Pittman's father knew the news conference was being televised, but he didn't watch. Marc Pittman had anticipated Brown's departure from Texas. It felt, he said, like losing a loved one. He wanted to pretend it wasn't happening for as long as possible. But as the news conference unfolded, Pittman received several text messages telling him Brown had referenced his son's death.
"Not surprised," Pittman said by phone. "Not surprised at all. That's Mack Brown. That's who he is."
Like all coaches, Brown's tenure will be measured by numbers, by victories and losses, championships earned and missed. He knows as much.
"We used to win 12 and 13 and we won eight," he said. "It's not about integrity, it's not about class, it's not about grades, it's not about any of that stuff. You've got to win.
"We set a standard at this place. You've got to win all of them. That's the expectation and I understand that. I'm a big boy. I understand you don't win all the games here, people are unhappy. Other people love eight wins — not here.
"I do not think that we lived up to the standard that we had set."
And saying he'd been treated fairly — and he wanted to make sure "everyone knows that" — Brown said it was time to move on, for Texas to find a new coach, for factions that had split into separate camps to reunite. Patterson said he will begin searching for Brown's replacement immediately (never mind the rumors about Nick Saban, he and Powers said they hadn't contacted any coaches).
Among the criteria Patterson listed as critical: "extensive experience in the college game." He also noted the coach must be good with the media, an outstanding recruiter, able to withstand a tremendous amount of scrutiny, and one more thing:
"You've got to win," Patterson said. "You've got to win big."
All of which is why he added: "Mack is a tough, tough act to follow."
So many of those facets were illustrated, one last time, in Sunday's news conference. There will be time to dissect what went wrong, and it will take some time to determine Brown's legacy. But the most telling moment Sunday came in response to that final question, when Brown could have tackled any topic but chose to look back on tragedy.
"When you lose your children, there is nothing worth that in the world," he said.
Told what Brown had said, Marc Pittman paused for a moment, then apologized for getting emotional. He had come to know Brown as "people caring about people, and he just happened to be a great football coach," and said they had remained close in the years since Cole's death. Sunday was a difficult day.
"You have to win, no doubt," Marc Pittman said. "But there's just so much more to life. And sometimes you learn more from your losses than you do from your victories."

(ANNAPOLIS, MD)—The Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) today thanked Governor Corbett for recommitting the Commonwealth to the effort to restore Pennsylvania's rivers and streams, and the Chesapeake Bay. The agreement was signed today by the Chesapeake Bay Program's Executive Council, made up of the Bay state governors, the mayor of Washington, D.C., the EPA Administrator, and the chairman of the Chesapeake Bay Commission.
The agreement includes a continuing commitment to the Clean Water Blueprint, a science-based roadmap for restoring local rivers, streams, and the Chesapeake Bay. It establishes a framework for improving the health of crabs, oysters, and other aquatic resources, and begins to tackle the difficult problems posed by toxics and global warming. It also contains a commitment to ensure that the education of today's students, tomorrow's leaders, will include not only reading, writing, and arithmetic, but environmental literacy as well.
"This is a historic moment in time for the restoration of Pennsylvania's rivers and streams, and the Chesapeake Bay. The Clean Water Blueprint lays out a transparent roadmap for restoring local waters," said CBF President William C. Baker. "While this agreement is an important step, the next step—developing management strategies and making firm commitments on how to implement those strategies—is just as important, and the devil is always in the details."
"This has been a generational effort to restore the health of the Chesapeake Bay. We've made tremendous progress from where we were to where we are," said Governor Tom Corbett. "On behalf of the citizens of Pennsylvania, I'm proud to renew our commitment to continuing our efforts toward cleaner water and a healthier Bay for the benefit of our children and grandchildren."
"The investments to restore and protect our rivers and streams will benefit our economy, our health, and the legacy we leave for future generations," said Harry Campbell, CBF's Pennsylvania Executive Director.
Retiring State Representative Ron Miller, current Chairman of the Chesapeake Bay Commission, and Chair of Pennsylvania's Environmental Resources and Energy Committee has been a champion for clean water efforts in Pennsylvania.
"I am pleased to represent the Chesapeake Bay Commission on the Executive Council as we sign a new Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement," Representative Miller said. "The signatories have accomplished much in reaching this agreement but we cannot implement this Agreement alone. We'll need the help of local governments, businesses and citizen groups to meet the Management Strategies of this important new document."
Also at today's meeting, four students, representing Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC, spoke on behalf of clean water.
Stephanie Detwiler, from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania represented Pennsylvania. She was first introduced to agricultural conservation practices on her grandparent's farm in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Building on those lessons in conservation, Stephanie joined the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Student Leadership Courses and saw the impact pollution has had on the island communities of the Eastern Shore, and also learned about environmental policy in Washington D.C.
Ms. Detwiler spoke eloquently about the importance of clean water, and her outdoor environmental education experiences.
"I was lucky enough to go to a school that has a creek on the property, and the highlight of my biology class was getting to go outside, catch insect larvae and small fishes, to determine the quality of the stream" Stephanie Detwiler said. "These outdoor learning experiences improved my understanding of the content I was learning in the classroom and overall made science meaningful because the science was hands-on."
A recent graduate of Hempfield High School in Lancaster County, Stephanie will be attending Goucher College in Towson, Maryland, and is planning to major in Biology.
"I believe that as more environmental subjects, such as the health of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, are addressed in the classroom, students will be more likely to engage in conservation outside of the classroom," concluded Detwiler.
CBF would like to thank the Bay state governors who signed this new commitment to the Chesapeake Bay and the student leaders for speaking on behalf of clean water. This momentous occasion marks a renewed commitment to regional and local collaboration, innovation, and leadership to improve water quality in Pennsylvania's rivers and streams.

What I Learned Wednesday: 17 August 2011
But I did learn a bit about a few Brinlee families that I am currently working on; in particular, I found the information on the 1920 census for the Burk Frady Smith and Lillie Ann Brinlee Smith to be of interest:
1920 United States Federal Census, Phillips Town, Coal County, Oklahoma, ED 15, p. 5B, 16 Jan 1920
Line 71 17 19
Smith, Birt F. Head M W 44 M Yes Yes TN US US Miner Coal mine OA
........Lillia Ann Wife F W 38 M Yes Yes TX TX TX None
........Roy E. Son M W 21 W Yes Yes OK TX TN Coal mine Cager Em
........Claud T. Son M W 19 W Yes Yes OK TX TN Coal mine Greaser W
........Alta E. Dau F W 14 S Yes Yes Yes OK TX TX None
........Audry E. Dau F W 8 S Yes Yes Yes OK TX TN None
........Allen J. Son M W 6 S Yes Yes Yes ? US TN None
Now, admittedly the census-taker has scrambled several things - he has mixed up the birth states for the parents and is totally confused by the information on Allen, but the marriage status for the two oldest sons, if true, is heart-wrenching: Roy, 21, and Claud, age 19, are both listed as widowers. It seems like a bit too much of a coincidence, especially for men this young, and yet - the Great Influenza Epidemic had been raging for well over a year, and was especially devastating to people of this age. So it could be true. I'll have to do more research to find out. (I would also like to know what those notations are in the "Year of immigration..." column.)
The other thing I learned this week?
I'm glad that the only online trees I have are on Ancestry. A few weeks ago I posted a question about sites for online trees; Geni.com was among those that I was considering using. I think I'll try doing my own website instead.
There have been many perceptive and even some humorous posts about this development. I loved Dear Myrtle's wry summary of Geni.com's logic(al fallacies) in "Official Response from Geni.com."

Frenzy! Frenzy! Frenzy! Where would genealogy be without frenzies? How much research would get done without frenzies? How much organization would get done without frenzies? Probably, for some 'type A' genealogists, a lot would get done in an organized, logical way. For many of us, however, logic is the important gap that keeps the frenzies at bay.ReplyDelete
I'm glad I created my own website, even without the drama going on now! I was (mildly) burnt a few years back when a site I had my data on changed ownership and I found out some time after the event that they had added my data to another site with different terms and conditions. Fortunately I was able to have my data removed.ReplyDelete
For me the frenzy is always worthwhile, for it is in those moments amazing things happen --- lost notes turn up, look a a picture with "new eyes," contemplate a different life (I know the the last one is called "day dreaming." But I like it-- frenzy and day dreaming.ReplyDelete
Bart - Well said!ReplyDelete
Shelley - All I have to do is learn how to create my own website.... And, of course, people can copy stuff from websites, but at least they're not taking it and selling it.
Oh, Joan - that is one of our many connections - I'm a big daydreamer, too!

New Zealand's unemployment rate fell from a 13-year high in the last three months of 2012 as people stopped looking for work and the participation rate shrank to its lowest level in almost nine years.
The unemployment rate fell 0.4 of a percentage point to 6.9 per cent in the December quarter, as the number of people leaving the workforce fell faster than the number of jobs available, according to Statistics New Zealand's household labour force survey. Economists were picking a headline rate of 7.1 per cent in a Reuters survey.
The participation rate fell a record 1.2 percentage points to 67.2 per cent, the lowest level since September 2004, while employment shrank 1 per cent. Economists were expecting a participation rate of 68.5 per cent and quarterly jobs growth of 0.4 per cent. The number of people not in the labour force climbed 3.8 per cent in the quarter.
"We're seeing fewer people working and looking for work, and more people outside the labour force," industry and labour statistics manager Diane Ramsay said in a statement. "More younger people are solely in study and more older people are entering retirement."
The New Zealand dollar rose to 84.32 US cents from 84.20 immediately before the report was released.
The figures come after the quarterly employment survey showed a pick-up in total filled jobs, and the Treasury this week said it expects the labour market to show gradual signs of improvement as the Canterbury rebuild gathers momentum.
New Zealand's labour market has been struggling to convert hiring intentions into actual jobs as the economy slowly recovers, and the headline unemployment rate has been a bone of contention among economists who say it's out of synch with other data. Forecasts have been surprised at the level of unemployment in the three quarters before today's release, which was slightly below the consensus.
Full-time employment grew 0.4 per cent to 1.71 million in the quarter, while the number of part-time jobs plunged 6 per cent to 486,000. Total jobs were down an annual 1.4 per cent, while unemployment was up 6.8 per cent from a year earlier. Actual hours worked declined 0.1 per cent to 73. 14 million hours, and was down an annual 1 per cent.
The annual decline in jobs was led by a 19 per cent plunge in self-employment, which has been falling from a peak in December 2011.
Otago had the lowest unemployment rate across the regions at 4.3 per cent, with Southland at 4.6 per cent and Canterbury at 4.9 per cent. Northland had the highest rate at 9.5 per cent. Auckland's unemployment rate improved to 7.2 per cent, while Wellington's rose to 7.9 per cent.
Youth aged 15 to 24 not in employment, education or training (NEET), a target demographic for the government, rose to 14.2 per cent, the highest level since March 2011, though coming at the end of calendar year when programmes typically end.
The number of jobless people fell to 284,500 from 294,900 a quarter earlier, and was up from 261,300 at the end of 2011. The number of people discouraged from seeking working because they believe they lack the appropriate skills rose 2,400 to 10,100 in the three month period.
Underemployment, which counts those people in part-time work wanting more hours, fell to 111,000 from 113,300 in the quarter, and was up from 105,100 a year earlier.
New Zealand's unemployment rate is now the 14th lowest among developed nations, below Canada's 7.2 per cent and above Israel's 6.7 per cent.

It was the sixth road win in a row for the Islanders, who forced the overtime when Brock Nelson's goal early in the third period evened the score.
Brian Strait helped set up the winner with a pass to Grabner in the Avalanche zone. Grabner skated across the slot before circling back and firing from between the circles to get the puck past Semyon Varlamov.
Kevin Poulin, who had 30 saves, won his fourth straight decision and improved to 5-1 in his last six games.

I enjoyed this one. An obvious approach would be to freeze the water into slugs and fire them, to avoid the fluid dynamics problems? (Which is to say, the exact opposite of sending a barrel down the Falls.)
Ultimately I guess that's not going to make the problem any easier. Nor would using a larger straw, like the 12 to 15mm ones used with slushy drinks.

Compadrazgo, a Spanish word that literally translates to "co-fatherhood", is based on a kinship ritual that is formed after a child gets baptized into the Roman Catholic faith. For the predominantly Catholic and close-knit Philippine society, t he godfather (known as the padrino) is part of one's extended family and is expected to he lp and protect his godchild. The godchild is expected to respect and be loyal to the padrino. Bapakism is derived from the Indonesian word for "father". When us ed in Indonesian business, bapakism demands great respect and obedience to one's su perior. The manager in his role as the company's bapak is expected to look after and care for his employees.
