Surgery - Introduction
ENTs differ from other physicians in that they are trained in both medicine and surgery, thus there is no need to refer our patients to other physicians if surgery is indicated. This allows us to provide our patients with individualized care. Our physicians use advanced technology and a broad range of surgical procedures in the treatment of diseases and disorders of the ear, nose and throat (ENT) and the related structures of the head and neck. Most ENT surgeries are relatively straightforward and can be performed on an outpatient basis.
In Office Procedures
In office surgical procedures include biopsies and the removal of superficial skin cancers. These procedures are performed under local anesthetic.
Biopsies are performed by excising a sample portion of a tumor or suspicious lesion. Biopsies are usually performed for unusual growths, lesions or areas that do not heal, or to determine a course of treatment. Many biopsies can be performed under local anesthesia in the physician's office. The biopsy of tumors in deeper regions of the neck and throat are done under general anesthesia in the operating room with the use of an endoscope. Biopsies may take the form of a needle aspiration, an incision, a shave biopsy, or an excision. Learn More...
Removal of Superficial Skin Cancers
The most frequent type of skin cancer is basal cell carcinoma. This cancer is slow growing and rarely metastasizes (spreads). Squamous cell carcinoma can involve both the skin and mucous membranes. Squamous cell carcinoma often extends deeper into the tissue and can ulcerate and metastasize. Surgical removal is the treatment of choice. Malignant melanoma is the most serious of skin cancers and is known for its invasiveness and metastatic behavior. Prognosis is dependent on the depth of the tumor. Therefore, detection and removal are critical. Learn More...
Common Surgical Procedures
Three common outpatient procedures performed by South Texas ENT surgeons include a Tonsillectomy with or without an Adenoidectomy, a Septoplasty, an operation to correct a deviated nasal septum and to improve nasal breathing function, and a Myringotomy, which involves the insertion of ventilation tubes (PE tubes) into the eardrum to promote the drainage of fluid.
Tonsils are located on the back of the throat and adenoids are located high in the throat behind the nose and the roof of the mouth. Adenoids are not visible through the mouth without special instruments. Tonsils and adenoids are believed to work as part of the body's immune system by filtering germs that attempt to invade the body. Children who must have their tonsils and adenoids removed suffer no loss in their resistance to germs.
Recurrent throat and ear infections are the most common problems affecting the tonsils and adenoids. Tonsils and adenoids can also become enlarged and obstructive, which can lead to breathing and swallowing problems. In general, it is recommended that a tonsillectomy be performed for children who have three or more tonsillar infections per year.
During the surgery the patient is under a general anesthetic. The surgeon uses special instruments to cut the tissue in order to successfully remove the tonsils and adenoids. The surrounding blood vessels are then sealed to control bleeding. These procedures are usually performed on an outpatient basis and patients are typically able to return to normal activity in one week.
Several postoperative symptoms may arise. These include, but are not limited to, difficulty in swallowing, vomiting, fever, throat pain, and ear pain. Occasionally bleeding may occur after surgery. If the patient has any bleeding, the surgeon should be notified immediately.
PE Tubes (Myringotomy)
In many cases ear infections or fluid do not clear up with proper medication and home treatment. If this is the case, a procedure called a myringotomy may be recommended.
This procedure involves a small surgical incision into the eardrum to promote drainage of the fluid and to relieve pain. A ventilation tube (PE tube) can be placed in the incision to prevent further fluid accumulation and to improve hearing. The surgeon selects a ventilation tube that will remain in place for as long as required for the middle ear infection to improve and for the Eustachian tube to return to normal. This may require several weeks or months. During this time patients must keep water out of their ear(s) because it could start an infection in the middle ear. Otherwise, the placement of a PE tube has no side effects and patients will often notice a remarkable improvement in hearing and a decrease in the frequency of ear infections.
This procedure is performed in the office or at an outpatient surgical center.
Nasal Septum Surgery (Septoplasty)
The nasal septum is the vertical wall that divides the nose into two nasal cavities. At birth the nasal septum is usually straight. However, as we age there is a tendency for the septum to bend to one side or the other. Often there is no history of injury to account for the irregular septum. Few adults have a septum that is completely straight. Sometimes trauma to the nose can play a major role in a septal deviation.
Septoplasty is an operation to correct a deviated septum. This procedure is usually done to improve the nasal breathing function but can also be done to provide adequate examination of the inside of the nose for the treatment and/or removal of nasal polyps, inflammation, tumors, or bleeding.
Sinus Surgery
Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) involves the insertion of a very thin fiber-optic tube (an endoscope), into the nose for a visual examination of the sinus openings. With state of the art micro-telescopes and instruments, abnormal and obstructive tissues are then removed. In the majority of cases, the surgical procedure is performed entirely through the nostrils, leaving no external scars. The basic endoscopic surgical procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia.
The advantage to ESS is that the surgery is less extensive than earlier invasive procedures where the surgeon would access the sinuses by entering through the cheek area, which often resulted in scarring. There is often less removal of normal tissues with ESS and it can frequently be performed on an outpatient basis. After the operation, the patient will sometimes have nasal packing. For the ten days following the procedure nasal irrigations may be recommended to prevent crusting. There is typically very little swelling and only mild discomfort with the type of procedure.
Tympanic membrane (eardrum) perforations that do not heal on their own may require surgical repair. The procedure, called a tympanoplasty, involves grafting tissue across the perforated eardrum that will allow it to heal. This usually requires an incision behind the ear to obtain the tissue for the "patch". For smaller perforations, sometimes a piece of fat tissue can be used, which is obtained by making a small incision behind the patient's earlobe. Most of the time the surgeon will place a dissolvable packing behind the eardrum and in the ear canal. Drops may be used postoperatively to help the packing dissolve quicker, which will often stay in for upwards of six to eight weeks. This is an outpatient procedure and generally, the patient can return home within two to three hours following surgery.
During the postoperative period, it is very important to keep water out of the ear. Air travel is not advisable during this time, either. Any type of activity that might increase pressure in the ear should be avoided, e.g., holding back sneezes, blowing of the nose, etc. This surgery is typically very successful in repairing the eardrum and improving hearing.
Head and Neck Surgery
Head and Neck Surgery includes Head/Neck Cancers and Throid Surgery.

Once Upon a Time Season Two Finale Recap
What Did You Think of the Once Upon a Time Season Finale?
The second chapter of Once Upon a Time's fairy tale has come to an end, setting up a whole new direction for season three. The episode isn't exactly wall-to-wall action (I think I actually like last week's better, what with Neal disappearing into the portal and all), but the final moments are definitely exciting. I couldn't muster up that much emotion about the possibility of Storybrooke being demolished since we all knew that wasn't going to happen, but seeing Henry get snatched is pretty upsetting — and gave me some serious flashbacks to Walt's kidnapping on Lost.
The twist on the Peter Pan story is interesting to say the least: is he actually a creepy villain in this story, or is he just shrouded in mystery? And what does he want with Henry? And how will Emma and company get back to the Enchanted Forest to save Neal? There's a lot to chew on — what did you think of the finale?

Only A Theory

Publication date
|12 June 2008
|Media type
|Print (Hardcover)
|Preceded by
|Finding Darwin's God
Only A Theory: Evolution and the Battle for America's Soul is a 2008 book by the American cell biologist and Roman Catholic Kenneth R. Miller.[1] In the book, Miller examines the battle between evolution and intelligent design (ID), and explores the implications of science in America. The title of the book comes from a misconception of what "theory" means in the context of science and evolution.
Glenn C. Altschuler reviewed the book saying "Though I.D. trumpets its connections to information theory, biochemistry and molecular biology, Miller concludes, as did Judge John Jones in Kitzmiller v. Dover, it rests, ultimately, on ignorance. Extending an olive branch to religious Americans, Miller suggests that evolution and faith aren't really in conflict because all of nature is part of God's providential plan."[2]
Biologist PZ Myers wrote "Miller is a fine writer who sharply addresses the details of the arguments about intelligent design creationism. When tackling old chestnuts such as the 'only a theory' complaint, or Michael Behe's argument for a maximum limit for the number of genetic mutations, or William Dembski's rehash of William Paley's watchmaker argument for complexity, Miller discusses the contemporary biological explanations while refuting the errors."[3]
John Woodmorappe was critical of the book, and stated "On the outer jacket of this book, Miller is praised as a brilliant and original thinker. To the contrary: Miller is simply dusting off and repackaging the same old straw-man arguments against creationists of decades ago and reusing them against ID…In conclusion, Miller's book is nothing new. It tells us more about his rationalistic preconceptions than about ID."[4]
A number of reviewers had pointed out a factual inaccuracy in the book: on page 149, Miller referred to the Dingo as a marsupial, when in fact Dingos are feral dogs.[5] In his list of errata, published online, Miller gave a correct reading of the passage: "It produced hunter-predator marsupials like the dingo and the Tasmanian tiger," should read "It produced hunter-predator marsupials like the tiger quoll and the Tasmanian wolf."[6]
On June 16, 2008 Miller was interviewed on The Colbert Report discussing the book.[7]

Strategic offers an integrated eDiscovery solution, providing end-to-end eDiscovery support involving internal investigations, third party document requests, and litigation. Strategic legal process management (LPM) delivers single-source support for managing the eDiscovery process, beginning with assessment of the corporate compliance and litigation readiness, continuing with legal hold implementation and collection, data filtering, hosting in the eDiscovery Cloud, analytics (e.g. email threading, categorization, predictive coding), managed review, production, and trial preparation support. A cross-trained Project Manager (licensed attorney) serves as first point of contact for the entire project cycle and coordinates directly with our in house certified experts in-forensics, IT, eDiscovery Technology and Legal Process Management ensuring a seamless process and maximizing risk mitigation and defensibility.
By having one outside expert focused on managing the eDiscovery process and the outside counsel focused on the legal analysis, the corporate legal department will enjoy more efficient management of the business and legal aspects of each matter.
Defensibility and Security
All eDiscovery services are provided using defensible methodology and executed using industry-accepted and tested state of the art software for legal hold implementation, forensic collections, data processing and document review. The eDiscovery Cloud environment is hosted at the Equinix data center, which meets the highest security standards (SSAE16 SOC-1 Type II Certified) and boasts 99.9999% uptime for all systems, including power and HVAC. At the network level, there is redundant Cisco hardware for all firewalls, routers and switches configured for automatic fail-over. Multiple ISP pipes configured with BPG are always maintaining connectivity.
Intelligent Budgeting
The Strategic intelligent support business model allows the legal team to analyze the business and legal aspects of each matter without making substantial upfront investments with respect to ingestion and migration of data. We open the "black box" to allow the legal team to use eDiscovery technology in the development of a case-specific review workflow and eDiscovery budget without the traditional cost barriers associated with the use of this technology. This model facilitates accurate and precise per document managed review pricing.
Customized eDiscovery Workflows
The eDiscovery process becomes increasingly complex and costly, as the volume of electronic stored information (ESI) and the sources from which the data is captured grow. The Strategic LPM team helps clients control costs by tailoring each eDiscovery workflow within the following processes based upon the specific needs of each support request.
- Legal Hold and Collections
- Data Analysis, Filtering and Analytics
- Managed Document Review
- Production
- Post Production
Our forensic, eDiscovery, and legal process management experts consult with the legal team to develop an eDiscovery workflow incorporating technology and human resources to identify, preserve and produce all responsive documents in the most cost-efficient and timely manner possible.
Managed Document Review & Production
Our Legal Process Management (LPM) model combines people, process and technology to efficiently deliver managed review projects. Our attorney-project managers are well versed in all phases of the EDRM, including legal hold, collections, eDiscovery, managed document review, analytics and predictive coding, and post-review analysis. Our approach is designed to assist clients in achieving the strategic goals of the matter by focusing on risk management and defensibility in a cost-effective manner.
The LPM model incorporates seamless project management, gauge tests and early alignment to achieve review consistency. Stratified, statistically validated sampling QC combined with substantive technical searches keeps the focus on the subsets of data carrying the greatest risk. Our processes are designed to ensure that should any issues be raised, we can submit an affidavit, or provide a witness for deposition or trial; in other words our processes—in design and execution—are reasonable and defensible.
Post Production Analysis
We believe a well-managed document review project does not end once the production is sent to opposing counsel. Rather, creating the production set is just one component of discovery.
For example, outside counsel must prepare document custodians and other witnesses for depositions; we collaborate with outside counsel in drafting preparatory Deposition Memoranda and Witness Kits. Our PMs draft memoranda that identify and summarize the potential deposition exhibits from the produced data.
If we review the opposing party's documents, the PM includes potential exhibits from this data set as well. We also prepare other special reports and timelines as requested by clients and outside counsel.

...And just to make it look even more real, other Lefties are keepin' a close eye on that scary Rush-dood, 'cos you know, he does all his eeeevil plotting "hidden" there on the radio, coast-to-coast live and loud, free for the price of tuning in....
Sheesh. Hello? Hellooo? He's an entertainer. It's a radio show.
They're never gonna figure out how the rabbit was in that hat. And they're not fooling anyone but themselves. If you've got the might and weight of the Executive Branch behind you, it's easy and fun to go after a radio host. Takin' on a real party, even one as low in the polls as the Republicans supposedly are, that'd be just dull, boring work -- lotsa steak but no sizzle. Besides, they play for keepsies.
(Edit: since no one else has pointed it out, I'll add that the transitional Right is hardly immune to "form-over-substance-itis, either;" it's just this latest tizzy reminds me of nothing so much as islamonitwits condemning Mickey Mouse as a symbol of Western wickecness. Cartoon character, radio host -- what, do the self-panickers of this world fear being entertained to death?)

Asthma is one of the 3 manifestations of a
pattern of allergy, called atopy. The associated disorders are eczema and hay
fever. Food allergy can cause both immediate and delayed patterns of asthma.
Immediate food reactions can cause sudden, dramatic and life-threatening asthma
is one of the consequences of anaphylactic reactions to food. Delayed patterns
of food allergy can cause chronic asthma and/or bronchitis and are among the
most neglected causes of chronic or "intrinsic" asthma. Diet revision can
resolve chronic asthma.
Type 1 Allergy Often patients have positive skin tests to inhalant allergens
which cause hay fever and may have skin reactions to foods which prove to be a
problem. Foods that produce significant positive skin tests should be avoided in
the diet; however, other foods that do not show skin reactions may contribute to
the disease. If all the attention is directed toward the more obvious
skin-positive inhalant allergies, an opportunity to benefit from comprehensive
diet revision is lost.
Patients with delayed pattern food allergy have the most persistent
inflammatory form of chronic asthma. Skin tests do not show delayed patterns of
food allergy and diet revision must be complete and comprehensive to resolve
this common form or allergic asthma.
Here are the basic ideas about asthma causes and treatment:
The three basic treatment choices are:
Many studies of food allergy involve patients with food-induced asthma; the
asthma is easily recognized if symptoms begin within a few hours of eating food
and the asthma is associated with other symptoms of food allergy. Eczema and
asthma are often associated in atopic patients with food allergy. James et al
reported that in a group of 320 children with
atopic dermatitis, 55% had asthma. Food challenges triggered respiratory
symptoms in 59% of including rhinitis, laryngeal edema, wheezing, and dyspnea.
Gastrointestinal symptoms occurred in 41% of positive challenges. Often, asthma
is treated only as an airborne allergy problem or as a problem unrelated to
allergic processes and the possible role of food allergy is neglected!
Wraith stated: "Food allergy is a very important cause of asthma but is often
overlooked. It is important because it may cause severe symptoms and asthma
still has a high mortality despite improvements in drug therapy. It is
overlooked because the usual skin tests are often negative and the history is
often not helpful as symptoms appear gradually hours or days after ingestion of
the food."
IgE and Non-IgE mechanisms can cause asthma. Patients with no positive skin
tests were shown to react to foods. In Wraith's studies, milk, wheat, egg,
yeast, preservatives, colorings, coffee and cheese were the main foods
implicated. Other manifestations of food allergy are typical in 65% of the
asthmatic patients.
Diet revision with elimination of foods or a "low allergen" diet were used to
induce remission of symptoms then foods were re-introduced to determine
reactivity. Pelikan and Pelikan-Filipek demonstrated asthmatic responses to food
ingestion and suggested: "The role of food allergy in patients with bronchial
complaints is still underestimated by clinicians because:(1) of the dearth of
information in this area(2) The involvement of foods in patients with allergic
disorders is complex and has various forms..(3) The diagnostic procedures and
confirmation of adverse reactions to foods is difficult"
In a study of mechanisms increasing circulating immune complexes (IgE and
IgG) were demonstrated following challenges with allergenic foods (egg) and
correlated with symptoms. Complexes peaked at 24 hours after food ingestion "and
the appearance of symptoms is very close, in others...was followed only later by
symptoms. 12 of the 14 subjects studied had asthma; associated problems were
eczema, rhinitis, arthralgia, urticaria, and diarrhea. In a review of 320
children and young adults with atopic dermatitis 55% had asthma. With food
challenges respiratory symptoms occurred in 236 (42%) including nasal symptoms,
dyspnea, wheezing, and laryngeal edema. Hendrick and Bird considered the
possibility that food allergy could cause inflammatory alveolitis. The Heiner
syndrome serves as a model of milk-protein induced pneumonitis associated with
hemosiderosis. They suggested a Type III
mechanism and reviewed the alveolitis in celiac disease.
Food allergy patients are often given antibiotics repeatedly, since allergic
symptoms and infection symptoms are similar. Antibiotics may offer no benefits
and may increase the risk of further allergic reactions. Many patients report
long-term deterioration after repeated or prolonged antibiotic use. This
apparent adverse effect of antibiotics has been blamed on yeast overgrowth in
GIT, but the real reason is probably more complex.
Food allergens travel from the digestive tract to the lungs. Food allergens
may be found in the blood stream in circulating immune complexes that trigger
the release of immune mediators in the bloodstream. These chemicals cause a
variety of symptoms, including constriction of the bronchial smooth muscle in
the lungs; this is the first event of an asthmatic attack. Airflow is reduced in
the narrowed tubes. Air has a harder time leaving the lungs than entering-the
result is prolonged noisy expiration. If you listen with a stethoscope, you will
hear scattered whistles from the narrowed bronchi on breathing out. Later, the
small tubes in the lung swell and plug with increased mucus secretion, making
the obstruction to airflow worse. This inflammatory, obstructive phase is the
most important mechanism of chronic asthmatic bronchitis.
The good news is that complete diet revision may allow remission of chronic
symptoms. Asthma that seems to originate inside the body (intrinsic asthma)
should be treated as food allergy until proven otherwise. This assumption should
lead to careful diet revision, using the Alpha
Nutrition Program .
Our patients usually have asthma with associated symptoms that suggest a
whole-body food allergy problem. A comprehensive management plan will include
solving the food allergy problem, solving airborne allergy and toxicity, and
providing the right medication, at the right doses and at the right time when
preventive efforts fail.
A food holiday on Alpha ENF
for up to 10 days may be beneficial. Patients following Alpha Nutrition
experience a reduction or clearing of asthma symptoms, but they are vulnerable
to acute attacks if they eat the wrong food. The attacks occur in a sequence,
usually beginning with nose and throat congestion, coughing and/or wheezing,
followed several hours later by a delayed, more serious episode of breathing
difficulty. We recommend retreating to Phase 1 foods or Alpha ENF for several
days if the asthma attack is severe.
A 41 year old business woman presented with a long history of a slowly
progressive illness. Asthma was a major problem, requiring three asthma
medications, Beclovent and Ventolin inhalers and theophylline tablets. Her
digestive symptoms were severe, with daily abdominal distention, belching,
heartburn, and episodes of acute abdominal pain with diarrhea. All GIT
investigations were negative. She was always tired and sometimes depressed. She
had withdrawn from all social and recreational activities in the past 2 years
but continued to work. Occasionally, she would experience unprovoked panic
attacks with fast irregular heart action, flushing, sweating, and tremor. These
attacks were so distressing that she avoided driving and going out alone,
fearing a disabling attack. Her diet included moderate intake of bread, muffins,
pasta, occasional eggs, some yogurt and cheese (but no milk), poultry, beef,
salads (but few cooked vegetables), and fruit, mostly citrus. She drank coffee
(2 cups) and occasionally tea or hot chocolate but avoided alcoholic beverages,
knowing they made her feel sick. She chose to clear on an ENF, and by day 5 was
beginning to improve. She continued to complete recovery within 6 weeks on Alpha
Nutrition. She experienced several food reactions during Phases 2 and 3, but
accurately identified the problems, and emerged well. She found that rice caused
persisting fatigue and had to omit it. Most fruits were better tolerated cooked.
Her panic attacks did not recur and her asthma was 80% cleared with food
control; 20% remained an airborne problem. Her prescription drug use dropped
If asthma is chronic and tends to occur in all seasons and is not related to
airborne exposure, then consider delayed pattern food allergy as the cause and
do complete diet revision.

Quote:If this is an actual fight and not a comic trying to make money, then I don't see how they're game changers. One shot of lightening, heat vision or cosmic blast and they're dead - along with most of the other girls.
Well it's one-on-one match-ups and Moondragon and Rogue aren't going up directly against Thor or Surfer.
And yes they can be game-changers IMHO.

Over the past decade, a myriad of techniques have shown that solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can be used in a broad spectrum of applications with exceptionally impressive results. Solid-state NMR results can yield high-resolution details on the structure and function of many important biological solids, including viruses, fibril-forming molecules, and molecules embedded in the cell membrane.
Filling a void in the current literature, NMR Spectroscopy of Biological Solids examines all the recent developments, implementation, and interpretation of solid-state NMR experiments and the advantages of applying them to biological systems. The book emphasizes how these techniques can be used to realize the structure of non-crystalline systems of any size. It explains how these isotropic and anisotropic couplings interactions are used to determine atomic-level structures of biological molecules in a non-soluble state and extrapolate the three-dimensional structure of membrane proteins using magic-angle spinning (MAS). The book also focuses on the use of multidimensional solid-state NMR methods in the study of aligned systems to provide basic information about the mechanisms of action of a variety of biologically active molecules.
Addressing principles, methods, and applications, this book provides a critical selection of solid-state NMR methods for solving a wide range of practical problems that arise in both academic and industrial research of biomolecules in the solid state. NMR Spectroscopy of Biological Solids is a forward-thinking resource for students and researchers in analytical chemistry, bioengineering, material sciences, and structural genomics.

Floyd Mayweather Junior claims he is willing to fight Amir Khan.
Khan's team have been in negotiations with Mayweather's camp for months about a possible showdown in May and the world's pound-for-pound king is open to the idea.
Mayweather respects the former WBA and IBF light-welterweight champ , even though he claims he knows little about him, and likes his attacking style.
"I really don't know too much about Amir Khan," Mayweather Jr told BoxingScene.
"But I do know, every time out, the guy comes and fights. If he is the guy, then he's the guy [to fight next].
"There's nothing I can do but go out there and execute the game plan and dedicate myself to the craft, which is boxing."
In a clear sign that the fight could happen, Mayweather shrugged off claims that Khan is no longer the fighter he was because of his back-to-back losses to Lamont Peterson in 2011 and Danny Garcia in 2012.
Khan has responded by beating Carlos Molina and Julio Diaz and Mayweather says he is still a champion in his eyes.
"I think he's a young, strong champion," he said. "I call these guys champions. I call them champions because even when they get knocked down they get back up and give it their best."

From our perspective, one of the contributors for this bloom is the "easy entrance" of the industry when most of ecommerce platforms can be obtained at no cost.

All of these offer you with various customization options, scalability, and enormous community support. Let's discover now!
Top Open Source Ecommerce Platforms To Power Your Online Business
1. Magento Open Source (formerly Magento Community Edition)
As you might know, Magento is one the most powerful ecommerce platforms today, with more than 250K store owners, 150K developers and over 300 solution partners around the world.
If you dream to have such an amazing ecommerce website like Samsung, Nike or Lenovo, which are using Magento Enterprise Edition with the annual cost of $16K, but have just small to medium budget, then go with Magento Open Source platform.
In spite of being just a free version of Magento, this platform provides you with plenty of features specialized for e-commerce such as responsive design, fast loading page, multi-store/language/currency, SEO support, and so on.

WooCommerce is an entirely open-source, highly customizable and flexible ecommerce platform. It offers plenty of ecommerce features from various types of products and payment gateways, tax control, delivery settings, stock tracking, to discounts and coupon system, and so on.

One of the many great gags in Tales Designed to Thrizzle: Volume 1—comprising the first four issues of Michael Kupperman's comic of the same name—is a three-panel strip featuring the Head, who is what his name suggests: a disembodied head. In the first panel, he declares, "Someday I will rule the world!" In the second, he admits, "But for now, I have been reduced to flipping burgers with my telekinetic powers! Bah!" In the third, he's on a couch, watching Three's Company, and muttering, "Bah! Such foolish television!"
The lurch from comic-book supervillain cliche to boob-tube homage nicely encapsulates Kupperman's methods and influences. While alt-comics creators try to cadge some credibility by putting on literary airs and their mainstream peers pray for a movie deal, Kupperman has other burgers to flip. On the one hand, he's steeped in the conventions of comics past—barmy sales pitches ("Men! Is your penis a urine-leaking, chronically unreliable threat to your mental well-being?"), breathless pulp-adventure titles (I Bothered a Big Fish!), and doofy superheroes (e.g., Underpants-on-His-Head Man). But his essential rhythms seem to be borrowed from another medium entirely. The way he turns narratives into advertisements, ends stories with some wacko randomly barging through a window, and abruptly drops gags only to pick them up and drop them again suggests that Kupperman takes his cues from the surreality of the small screen—especially Monty Python's Flying Circus and its animated heirs on the Cartoon Network.
TV/comics crossovers aren't new. The movie-turned-TV-series Buffy the Vampire Slayer lives on as a comic book, for instance. But Kupperman is unique in the extent to which he's absorbed TV's form as well as its content. In part, this may be the Monty Python influence: the Flying Circus was, in many ways, meta-television. Each show was cobbled together from a melange of genres—newscasts, sports, sitcoms, dramas, documentaries, cartoons—and much of the humor lay in watching them knock into and over one another. A drawing-room mystery ends with a scoreboard (constables 9, superintendents 13) and wildly cheering fans, or the BBC end credits get dropped into the show halfway through.
Monty Python's Flying Circus, in other words, replicated TV's heterogenous feel: the sense of switching from show to show and channel to channel, of narratives fractured by commercials. The concept is fairly familiar now on TV, but it's still unusual in comics—and it's rarely done in any medium with the panache that Kupperman brings to it. In one strip, for example, he segues vertiginously from boy-band infomercial to nature special: "Tony is the fun one of the group" runs up against "Primo is an Australian desert frog," which is answered by "Alan is too small to be seen by the human eye—but he becomes visible in this close-up view of the human sneeze!"
That bit is an honest-to-God TV parody. It plays with documentary genres, and the jokes are predicated on quick shifts between panels that are deliberately analogous to camera cuts. But many of Kupperman's pieces go a step further, adapting the style of surreal juxtaposition to the comic-book context through their use of layout and space. A mostly text outer-space adventure is illustrated with random drawings that have nothing to do with the story. An advertisement for 4-Playo 3000, a robot that provides foreplay, takes up most of a page—except for an unobtrusive banner at the bottom that reads, "Let's All Go to the Bathroom! A message from the Bathroom Council." As in Chris Ware's early comics, many pages are designed as a carefully arranged clutter of fake ads, strips, text blocks, and random gags. The result is a clanky, retro tribute to the days when comic books, like TV, constituted a mass art form, and so had more in common with TV's hucksterism and variety. These days, most comics carry few ads that aren't for their own publisher.
But not every Kupperman layout looks like an old comic. One of the most impressive things about Tales Designed to Thrizzle is the versatility it shows. Kupperman's art is instantly recognizable; his drawings are intentionally stiff, and his figures are posed oddly against his backgrounds so that everything looks like collaged clip art. Yet within those self-imposed limits, he manages to generate an enormous range of variation. On some pages he uses a detailed, black-and-white cross-hatch style that creates moire-esque patterns; on others he applies stencils; on still others he places simplified color figures against plain backgrounds. His designs, too, are varied, from full-page splash panels to fake text ads with faithfully reproduced fonts to the beautiful wallpaper patterns at the end of each section.
Tales Designed to Thrizzle is a monument not only to silliness, but to craft—which is perhaps the way in which it most clearly departs from its TV inspirations. With few exceptions such as Terry Gilliam's Flying Circus animations, TV doesn't pay attention to visual aesthetics the way Kupperman does here. His ad for Indian Spirit chewing gum—with its patterned background, bizarre conflations of scale (a tiny Indian about to be swallowed by a giant Caucasian), and stark cutout feel—has a constructivist look that flirts perilously with high art.
Several of Kupperman's lyrical Cousin Grampa strips do a good deal more than flirt. In one, "Old King Grampa," the titular monarch watches a bird fly out of his pie and then out the window. The bird hatches an egg, inside of which waits a tiny king. In the last panel, the little king and two baby birds sit in a nest, mouths gaping to receive a worm from their mother. The way in which deferred oral pleasure leads seamlessly to infantile fantasy is queasily Freudian, and the strip's wordlessness gives it a serene wrongness that Gilliam's cartoons—with their aggressive muttering and laugh tracks—never managed. Further, the drawing is in Kupperman's vivid cross-hatched style: you can almost feel the baby birds' beaky cheeks pressed up against the king's bearded jowls. In the panel where the mother bird is hatching the egg, Kupperman shows her beak parted and motion lines behind her head—she's giving a small, silent squawk of joy as her bearded devourer/child is born. In that detail, the surreality of Monty Python becomes the surreality of Un Chien Andalou or Kafka. Not that Kupperman needs to reference film or literature. Why should he, when he can turn TV into art?

Catch our new podcast, which examines the challenges facing the world as it seeks to restart travel and migration chilled by the COVID-19 pandemic. The repercussions of this dramatic halt to mobility will be profound, and will almost certainly lead to transformations that will reshape movement for the foreseeable future—maybe even permanently.
The Trump administration's changes to the H-1B visa program are the most significant in three decades, promising to end the practice of replacing U.S. workers with highly skilled immigrants. While the problems the administration has identified and the interest in protecting U.S. workers are legitimate ones, its approach may cripple the H-1B program itself, as this commentary explains.

The EU Pact on Migration and Asylum represents a last-gasp effort by European leaders to devise a plan that keeps all 27 countries at the table, at a time when growing numbers are refusing to accept asylum seekers under the existing redistribution mechanism. Can the pact's concept of solidarity à la carte work? The pact may well be the last step before an abyss in which each country determines the fate of migrants and refugees, practically guaranteeing future conflict.

The fires that devastated the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos have further raised the stakes for the soon-to-be unveiled EU Pact on Migration and Asylum. If Moria persists as a concept—with asylum seekers prevented from onward movement elsewhere in Europe—this becomes an integral pillar of future EU asylum practice, whatever is written on paper, as this commentary explores.
This study explores the relationship between immigration enforcement and the mental health of Latino high school students, finding that majorities surveyed in both high- and low-enforcement environments reported fear that someone close to them could be deported, with resulting symptoms of conditions such as depression and PTSD. The report provides examples of how schools are responding to support the mental health and engagement of these students.
Now into its fourth year, the Trump administration has reshaped the U.S. immigration system in ways big and small via presidential proclamations, policy guidance, and regulatory change. This report offers a catalog of the more than 400 administrative changes undertaken in areas such as immigration enforcement, humanitarian admissions, DACA, and visa processing—including a look at measures put in places since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

There is a lot of confusion out there about which grains are and are not gluten free. This is compounded by the fact that some grains (like oatmeal) are inherently gluten-free, but are often times contaminated by wheat during processing; or that some gluten-free grains (like buckwheat) misleadingly have the word "wheat" in their name.
Below, you'll find a list of all common gluten-free grains. Wondering if a gluten-free diet is for you? Check out Food Focus: Should You Go Gluten-Free?
** As I mentioned, most oats are typically processed in plants that also process wheat, which contaminates the finished product. If you have Celiac's disease, or a serious gluten allergy, you should definitely avoid all oats and oatmeals that are not explicitly listed as gluten-free (for example, Bob's Red Mill makes delicious gluten-free rolled oats!). However, if you have a light sensitivity, or are simply avoiding gluten as a personal preference, oats are safe to eat, as the amount of the contamination isn't too high.
Check out some great gluten-free recipes:
Delicious Gluten-Free Breakfasts
The Organic Beauty Healthy Vegetarian, Vegan, and Gluten-Free Recipes
For those that just have a light wheat sensitivity, there are lots of delicious low-gluten grains that are much for easily digestible. Grains like spelt, farro, rye, and true sourdough are lower in gluten or contain beneficial enzymes that break down the gluten for you, making them easier to digest! Sprouted whole wheat, like that found in Ezekiel bread products, can also be much easier to digest!

The magazine industry's love affair with noted alleged predator Terry Richardson continues with Playboy magazine, as the publication has finally released its 100-page, Richardson-shot special issue.
Over the past few years, the photographer's reputation has been tarnished by claims of sexual abuse from several young models, so it feels more than a little icky to know that Richardson is still at it, photographing naked women in provocative positions.
Richardson went through a bit of a dry spell for a while, as magazines and brands began to distance themselves from the troubled shutterbug. After a bit of a hiatus, however, longtime supporter Harper's Bazaar released a Richardson-shot cover for February 2015.

National Initiative for Consumer Horticulture (NICH)
Executive Committee
Bi-Weekly Conference Call
Tuesday, April 2, 2019
10am ET / 9am CT / 8am MT / 7am PT
Attendees: Missy, Ellen, Sylvia, Mason, Pam, Mary Kay, Heather, Shannon, Casey
1. Strategic Tactics (Ellen)
- a. Any feedback from email to Atlanta listserve?
- No comments or discussion from the communication to date. A letter will be edited and distributed to the general listserve in the near future.
2. Committee Updates (new, Emergent Info to Share)
- a. Economic (Casey)
- Debbie has resigned from the chair position due to conflicting priorities. No one on the current committee is volunteering to step into her role. We are looking to recruit new members to the committee. Ellen talking to Glenn Campbell about from U of GA about joining the committee. If others have ideas, please suggest to the Exec Comm. There is keen interest in getting an Ag Economist from an LGU. Casey will take point to recruit from the current committee for a chair (e.g., Marvin, Charlie). Consider also reaching out to listserve to ask for new committee members.
- b. Marketing/Communications (Mary Kay)
- i. Any feedback on #Plantsdothat, #Gardensdothat, #Landscapesdothat?
- Committee will be discussing next week.
- ii. Is there an E-newsletter template update?
- Two samples are being reviewed next week by Committee.
- i. Any feedback on #Plantsdothat, #Gardensdothat, #Landscapesdothat?
3. New Business
- a. Listserve/communication topics
- i. Update on draft editorial calendar (Ellen)
- An effort is in progress. Commercial Council is looking at a list and considering additional communication opportunities/topics that would support the industry.
- ii. Update on draft communication to the tent list (Mason)
- Elected not to do an e-blast. The strategy is to turn this effort over to the MarCom Committee and identify better contact info/emails (as opposed to 'firstname.lastname@example.com'). Reach out to listserve to ask for help with this effort via e-blast! Ellen will add to the list of e-blast topics.
- i. Update on draft editorial calendar (Ellen)
- b. Development Committee discussion (Ellen)
- Shannon has stepped up to be a participant or co-lead of this committee if it moves forward. We're currently very much in the early investigatory phase of this discussion. The primary concern is that we are currently differentiated from the 'others' because we are not asking for financial support from the industry. In contrast, we are an organization looking to get funding FOR the industry. On the other hand, the fundraising effort can't be about raising money, it must be about achieving the outcomes that will result in support for consumer horticulture. Prior to pursuing any fundraising strategy, we will require a business plan, a corporate partnership program, etc.
- i. Who else should we engage when considering whether or not to pursue a business plan, corporate underwriter, and fundraising focus?
- Consider going directly to Susan Yoder (Seed Your Future) and use in a consultant capacity to glean information about how Seed Your Future got started, and what ensured their success. Ellen will talk to Susan Yoder and Gail in hopes both will become committee members to further inform this discussion.
- ii. How would NICH use the funding?
- Prior to the next meeting, Missy will comb the Strategic Objectives document for potential funding needs.
- 1. Potential needs (current and future):

The UPEACE University for Peace in Costa Rica may be a small university, but it offers many big assets for internationally-minded students. Intensive and varied courses on peace-related issues, a full academic year in a tropical reservation, friendships with co-students from all over the all world – and an entry ticket to an international career in the United Nations system.
This opportunity is due to a peculiarity in the UPEACE study programme: students can choose to complete their study either by writing a thesis, or by way of an internship. And because UPEACE is a university that was established by the UN, it has extensive contacts with the other members of the UN family. Therefore, it can help its students to follow an internship with one of the UN institutions.
After fulfilling their Masters' courses at the campus in Costa Rica, students can pursue a three months internship within the UN. This internship is evaluated by the UN agency where they are working, but also supervised by UPEACE Costa Rica. If you have done that in a satisfactory way, you have your MA.
Robert Serry, presently chairman of UPEACE Centre The Hague, often gets the same, single question whenever he gives lecture whenever he gives lectures on his work with the UN (as United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process in 2008-2015): "How did you get into the UN, and how can I get into the UN?" So now, at last, he has an answer for them: "Consider this university. Because UPEACE offers a very practical way to, first: check if you feel at home within an international environment, and secondly: to get your first work experience within a UN agency."

text: Digital control is a branch of control theory that uses digital computers to act as system controllers. Depending on the requirements, a digital control system can take the form of a microcontroller to an ASIC to a standard desktop computer. Since a digital computer is a discrete system the Laplace transform is replaced with the Z-transform. Also since a digital computer has finite precision (See quantization) extra care is needed to ensure the error in coefficients, A/D conversion, D/A conversion, etc. are not producing undesired or unplanned effects. The application of digital control can readily be understood in the use of feedback. Since the creation of the first digital computer in the early 1940s the price of digital computers has dropped considerably, which has made them key pieces to control systems for several reasons: Inexpensive: under $5 for many microcontrollers, Flexibile: easy to configure and reconfigure through software, Scalable: programs can scale to the limits of the memory or storage space without extra cost, Adaptable: parameters of the program can change with time (See adaptive control), Static operation: digital computers are much less prone to environmental conditions than capacitors, inductors, etc., Digital Controller Implementation, A digital controller is usually cascaded with the plant in a feedback system. The rest of the system can either be digital or analog. Typically, a digital controller requires: A/D conversion to convert analog inputs to machine readable (digital) format, D/A conversion to convert digital outputs to a form that can be input to a plant (analog), A program that relates the outputs to the inputs, Output Program: Outputs from the digital controller are functions of current and past input samples, as well as past output samples - this can be implemented by storing relevant values of input and output in registers. The output can then be formed by a weighted sum of these stored values., The programs can take numerous forms and perform many functions A digital filter for low-pass filtering, A state space model of a system to act as a state observer, A telemetry system, Stability: Although a controller may be stable when implemented as an analog controller, it could be unstable when implemented as a digital controller due to a large sampling interval. During sampling the aliasing modifies the cutoff parameters. Thus the sample rate characterizes the transient response and stability of the compensated system, and must update the values at the controller input often enough so as to not cause instability. When substituting the frequency into the z operator, regular stability criteria still apply to discrete control systems. Nyquist criteria apply to z-domain transfer functions as well as being general for complex valued functions. Bode stability criteria apply similarly. Jury criterion determines the discrete system stability about its characteristic polynomial. Design of digital controller in s-domain: The digital controller can also be designed in the s-domain (continuous). The Tustin transformation can transform the continuous compensator to the respective digital compensator. The digital compensator will achieve an output which approaches the output of its respective analog controller as the sampling interval is decreased. Tustin transformation deduction Tustin is the Padé(1,1) approximation of the exponential function : And its inverse We must never forget that the digital control theory is the technique to design strategies in discrete time, (and/or) quantized amplitude (and/or) in (binary) coded form to be implemented in computer systems (microcontrollers, microprocessors) that will control the analog (continuous in time and amplitude) dynamics of analog systems. From this consideration many errors from classical digital control were identified and solved and new methods were proposed: Marcelo Tredinnick and Marcelo Souza and their new type of analog-digital mapping, http://mtc-m18.sid.inpe.br/col/sid.inpe.br/mtc-m18@80/2008/03.17.15.17.24/doc/mirrorget.cgi?languagebutton=pt-BR&metadatarepository=sid.inpe.br/mtc-m18@80/2009/02.09.14.45.33&index=0&choice=full http://mtc-m05.sid.inpe.br/col/sid.inpe.br/deise/1999/09.14.15.39/doc/homepage.pdf http://www.sae.org/technical/papers/2002-01-3468 Yutaka Yamamoto and his "lifting function space model" http://wiener.kuamp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~yy/Papers/yamamoto_cwi96.pdf, Alexander Sesekin and his studies about impulsive systems. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0792343948, and M.U.

Hi Guys,
I added a wireless backup camera to my wife's 2013 SV, easy and cheap, I checked the wireless and compared it to wired before I installed it and could tell no difference. There is a little wiring, no soldering needed, and no wires run from the front to the back of the car.
As you can see, camera is nearly invisible.
Here is the image that appears on the radio when you put the shifter into reverse:
Here is a closeup of the camera after installed, taken from about 10 inches off the ground:
Total cost, a little over $30
Time involved estimated 2-3 hours, depending on your experience with car electronics
Purchased items:
Camera, $20 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GSF ... ge_o05_s00
Wireless video transmitter/receiver $11 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008Z9 ... ge_o04_s00
mIsc supplies:
solderless connectors
electrical tape
super glue
Duct tape
cable ties
Female RCA plug (I cut one off one of the many video cables with yellow jacks, leave a few inches of wire attached)
a little wire to make ground lead, etc.
Tools needed
electric drill and bit about 1/2" for sheet metal (one hole in trunk)
Phillips screwdriver
Plastic trim removal tool
wire cutters
1. disconnect neg (-) cable at battery- prevents blown fuses if you screw up
2. at lower edge of panel pull with hands back, lower edge will come loose.
3, at top of panel pull with hands back until it comes away about 1 inch from dash
4. lift panel vertically about 1" to free hooks holding panel
5. remove small harness at top of panel going to the emergency blinker switch between the vents.
6. remove 4 phillips screws holding radio in place. Pull radio out just enough to get access to the harness at the back of the radio. You should see this:
In the next steps you will be cutting one wire, and installing 4 solderless clips to the harness:
7. use wire cutters cut the protective taping around the wires so that you have about 2" of wire exposed. Do not cut any wires.
8. use solderless connector to attach center wire from your new female RCA jack (that you cut off an old video cable) to the red wire at the left corner.
9. similarly the shield wire of the RCA Jack goes to black wire next to the red one at the left.
10. Identify the 3rd black wire from the left, this is the trigger wire that tells the radio to display the back up view. Cut this wire about 2" from the plug. Use a solderless connector to attach a 10 inch wire to the 2 inch stub coming out of the plug, this extension will be attached to ground later. Tape the end that is still in the harness.
11. On the wireless receiver (it says receiver on a label), attach the red wire to the purple wire coming out of the plug.
When done the connector should look like this (there are 4 solderless connectors, but they don't show well in this photo):
12. Plug the yellow video RCA male plug from the wireless receiver into the female RCA plug you attached in steps 8, 9. Use duct tape to tape them together so they don't wiggle loose.
13. Now identify the black wire going to the wireless receiver, and the wire you attached in step 10. Twist the ends together and attach to a crimp connector or just get them ready to attach under a screw when you put the radio back in.
14. Put the wireless receiver in the space at the upper right, in space above the glove box, you don't want a lot a metal near the receiver to interfere with the signal. On the vertical plastic part of the dash, above the glove box, you will find some sound insulation with tape-like goo attaching it to the vertical wall. Pull it away from the plastic and put the receiver there, and restick the insulation, holding the receiver to the vertical wall above the glove box. Location of the receiver is important to avoid static and flashing of the camera signal. Now reinstall the radio with the 4 screws (be careful, if you drop one they are difficult to recover, easier to just put in a new screw). Attach the 2 ground leads under the screw at the upper left:
15. Pick up the panel, position it so that it is 1-2 inches away from the dash, reinstall the emergency blinker connector, be sure the 2 hooks on either side of the panel are in their slots, and snap the upper edge of the panel in place, then the lower edge.
DONE WITH THE NAV RADIO PANEL WIRING . Take a break. You are about 1/2 done.
1. Lift hatch and remove the rear carpet and carpet pad. Remove the center trim panel at the rear lip of the trunk, it is the piece that has an opening for the hatch ring. It has 2 plastic buttons that pry out. Be careful to lift the trim piece UP after removing the button pins to release the hooks.
2. Use your drill to drill 1/2" hole from inside the trunk through 3 layers of sheet metal, this hole is for the camera wires which go from the camera above the licence plate to the car interior. The hole location I used is 3" to the right of the hatch ring and 1" down from the bend in the interior sheet metal, see photos below:
Taped and finished hole location:
Location with ruler, close up:
3. Take the camera and a 10" strip of duct tape and wrap the tape around the camera leads to protect them from the sharp edges of the hole you drilled, then, from outside the car, insert the camera leads into the space above the licence plate and through the holes so that the connectors are inside the car.
4. On the right corner trim panel, remove the EVSE ring that holds the EVSE cord bag in place, then use your trim removal tool to pry the panel away from the rear of the car. You don't need to remove the whole panel just enough so that you can see the harness and connector shown:
5. Use trim tool to separate the plugged section from the body (don't need to separate connectors). Identify the red wire with purple stripe and the black wire:
6. Now take the transmitter power leads and connect the red wire to the red/purple wire on the connector. Attach the black to black. The Red/purple is the wire that carries +12 volts only when the shifter is in reverse.
7. Push the connector back into the metal of the car. Replace the rear quarter panel trim and EVSE bag ring, threading the transmitter wires under the quarter panel.
8. Plug the transmitter into the power connector you just attached to the harness and plug the camera connector into the transmitter. Connect the yellow video connections. Tape the connectors so they don't wiggle loose as you drive.
9. You need to bend the camera mounting clip so that when the clip face is glued to the inside wall of the licence plate support that the camera faces down at about a 45 degree angle. The camera will probably need to be reoriented so that up is up on the display. Reconnect the battery negative lead, put the parking brake on firmly, and put the car in run. Shift into reverse. The radio should show the camera view. Now hold the camera so that the metal clip is oriented in the position it will be when glued in place and check the view on the display. Unscrew the black plastic ring around the lens slightly so that the camera body can be rotated, and rotate it so that up is up on the display when the camera mounting clip is properly positioned. Tighten the ring when correct.
10. Turn off car and check desired location of camera. I superglued the metal clip to the inside wall of the licence plate plastic, seems easy and perfect. Be sure you measure so that camera is at the exact center of the car.
11. duct tape the hole on the inside of the car, so that the camera wires are not touching the sharp metal of the hole.
12. Tape the transmitter to the plastic just inside the space between the rear of the quarter panel and the rear lip of the trunk, with the antenna horizontal (to match the horizontal antenna orientation of the receiver above the glove box). Dress the wires so that they are not dangling all over and replace the rear middle trim.
13. Wait about an hour for the superglue to harden, and if necessary, bend the bracket so that the camera is pointing down at about a 45 degree angle.
14. Restart the car, put in reverse and check that all is working and that up is up on the camera view.
I wrote this from memory, so let me know if I skipped any steps or where my instructions aren't clear.
