Resources for Faculty
If you are a Lehman faculty member, the Instructional Support Services Program's (ISSP) professional staff can provide valuable supplementary services for your class, such as the following:
- In-class workshops (or separately scheduled workshops) on a range of topics, such as study skills, writing research papers, MLA and APA format, etc. Please feel free to request a workshop topic.
- Individual consultations, and follow-up, with students in need of targeted academic support.
For further information, please contact Ms. Althea Forde, Director of ISSP, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Encouraging Students to use the Services of the ISSP
There are a number of ways faculty can encourage students to use the services of the ISSP, including the following:
- Inform students about us in your syllabi.
- Tell students about us in your classes.
- Remind students of email announcements regarding our workshops, and other resources.
- Invite us to conduct a brief interactive in-class information session (10-15 minutes).
If you wish to inform your class of the ISSP's services, you may include the blurb below on your syllabus. If you communicate with your students via email or Blackboard, please consider providing this information in class and in writing:
"The Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) and the Science Learning Center (SLC) are two of the tutoring centers on campus. The ACE provides appointment based and drop-in tutoring in the humanities, social sciences, and writing, as well as general writing skills and academic skills workshops. The SLC provides drop-in tutoring for natural and computer science courses. To obtain more information about the ACE and the SLC, please visit their website, or please call the ACE at 718-960-8175, and the SLC at 718-960-7707. I encourage you to take advantage of the support available to you through the ACE and SLC."
Experience shows us that students' academic success is most enhanced when they take charge of their own learning and seek the support they need. We recognize that faculty see the need to encourage certain students in particular to seek tutoring, and we support that as well.
Contact Us
Faculty often calls with questions and ideas for collaboration; we invite you to do so, too!

Can I Use the Morning After Pill Before Sex?
I am sexually active and I don`t use condom with my partner and I am not on OC. I use natural method to prevent pregnancy but if I suspect that the method fails, then I use morning after pill. I wonder if I can take morning after pill before the intercourse rather than after it and if this is possible, is it still effective within 3 days after I take the pill (I mean can I have sex any time within 3 days after taking this medicine without concern about pregnancy?) and is there a limitation on the frequency of taking this medicine? (i.e maximum not to exceed 3 times a month...etc.)
The currently marketed emergency contraceptives have only been tested as post coital (after intercourse) pills. They are not intended for use before intercourse. They are also not as effective as continuous use of an oral contraceptives.
A more effective approach to avoid pregnancy would be to use condoms consistently if you have sex during the time that you are likely to conceive, in conjunction with natural family planning. Alternatively, you could consistently use another method of contraception like pills or an IUD. There is no maximum number of times you can use emergency contraceptive pills, but remember they only prevent pregnancy about 75% of the time with each act of intercourse.

Cancer involves the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that have mutated from normal tissues. This growth can kill when these cells prevent normal function of vital organs or spread throughout the body, damaging essential systems. Colon and rectum cancers, which are sometimes referred to together as "colorectal cancer," arise from the lining of the large intestine. When cancer arises from the lining of an organ like the large intestine, it is called a carcinoma.
Cancer of the colon or rectum is the third most common type of cancer for both men and women (after breast and lung for women, and prostate and lung for men). According to the American Cance (More)

The Austrian Workers' Compensation Board/Austrian Social Insurance for Occupational Risks (AUVA) Center for Traumatology Research encompasses the AUVA Institute for Traumatology Research and, as of 1980, the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Experimental and Clinical Traumatology (Ludwig Boltzmann Society), receiving additional support from the Trauma Care Consult since 1998. The Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Experimental and Clinical Traumatology has been the core of the Austrian Cluster for Tissue Regeneration since 2006 which was further enlarged in 2013/2014 (see our information brochures at the attachment).
The International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment (ISMST) will hold its 5th Basic Research Meeting on June 28th – 29th at the Centro Congressi in Bologna, Italy. The event is co-hosted by the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Experimental and Clinical Traumatology and the Austrian Cluster for Tissue Regeneration.
When it comes to the impact of meat consumption on global warming, in vitro meat is getting more and more attention. The muscle tissue derived from cell cultures is ecologically friendly taking up less land and water and causing less greenhouse gases in its production than meat derived from traditional farming.
Dr. Heinz Redl recently joined the Editorial Board of Progress in Biomaterials. The multidisciplinary international scientific journal is publishing studies and reviews on the preparation of new and evaluation of existing biomaterials, their chemical, physical and biological properties and applications in the areas of tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and drug delivery.
Are you a medical professional working with traumatic injuries and feel like there are essential questions overlooked by science? Or are you a patient who feels like sharing first-hand experience? All of us have, in one way or another, experienced or witnessed injuries and subsequent treatment, but not many have ever had a chance to inform researchers about it."Tell Us!" is looking for your input to improve research in the field of traumatology.

Washington, DC- Priests for Life, a national anti-abortion organization, issued the following statement today urging support for the Positive Alternatives Act (SF917 in the Senate and HF952 in the House).
"Women do not get abortions because of freedom of choice, but because they feel they have no freedom and no choice," said Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. "This bill will help to correct that problem by funding practical alternatives to abortion. We at Priests for Life ask the Churches to lend vigorous support to its passage, and we also challenge 'pro-choice' groups to support it. Those who don't simply display their hypocrisy and again prove that they are interested in promoting only one choice, abortion."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio House Democrats failed in their attempt to force leaders of JobsOhio to appear before a state legislative panel amid questions over the nonprofit's spending.
State Reps. John Carney and Denise Driehaus (DREE'-hows) wanted to the nonprofit's leaders to appear before the House Finance Committee to describe the entity's budgetary relationship with two state agencies -- the Development Services Agency and Ohio Department of Commerce.
Their request was rejected Thursday by the committee's Republican chairman, who said Driehaus' motion to subpoena JobsOhio was out of order. Democrats on the budget-writing panel objected to the chairman's ruling, resulting in a party-line vote to deny the motion.
JobsOhio complied Tuesday with a state auditor's order to turn over its private financial records, and then it returned $1 million in taxpayer startup money.

Bon Iver's two albums receive Gold certification
Justin Vernon's Bon Iver hasn't been terribly active in recent months, but evidently the Eau Claire-based act is still on a roll.
Nearly a full year after Vernon won Grammys for best new artist and best alternative album for 2011's "Bon Iver, Bon Iver," the act's label Jagjaguwar announced Wednesday that that album and its debut full-length "For Emma, Forever Ago" were both certified as Gold records in the U.S. by the Recording Industry Association of America for 500,000 copies sold.
"Bon Iver, Bon Iver" might be the last Bon Iver album for a while, according to an interview last fall with radio station 89.3 The Current in Minneapolis. But Vernon is still staying busy. NME reports today that he'll be a guest vocalist on an album from Arcade Fire's touring band member Colin Stetson. A sophomore album from Volcano Choir, Vernon's avant garde collaboration with members of Milwaukee-based post-rock instrumental group Collections of Colonies of Bees, is also expected to be released this year by Jagjaguwar.

Chris Gould's 'Best of 2003'
Well it's that time of year again, when the reviewers get to chose their favourite discs of the year. Chris Gould takes us t...
However, one thing that has troubled me this year is the amount of re-releases and 'Super Special Editions'. There are only so many copies of Army of Darkness that one person can need (Dave – take note), and what the hell was X-Men 1.5 all about? Studios, if you're going to do it at least be honest and give the discs titles befitting the marketing decision that lead to the re-release. How about X-Men 're-released because the second film is in the cinemas and we didn't do a particularly good job the first time out, plus we figured we could scam a few more bucks out of you' 1.5? Cynical, moi?
As usual it's been tough whittling all the discs I've seen this year down to a top five, but I'm fairly happy with my final selection. If I'm being honest I had to sit down and go through my collection with a fine-tooth comb (thank you DVDProfiler) to ensure that all of the titles were eligible for inclusion. I was most surprised by how many 'retro' discs I bought in comparison to new releases this year, with a number of my favourite discs falling outside of the accepted timeframe for a 'Best of 2003' award. Ah well, it's been a long year and I can't be expected to remember everything! Anyway, without further ado, it's on with the list!
5: The Adventures of Indiana Jones Region One
First off we have a very late addition into the top five, primarily due to my reluctance to buy the set. As a child I never had much time for the films, with Temple of Doom being the only one I watched at the cinema, and so I wasn't exactly frothing at the mouth in anticipation of the boxed set. Then came Christmas. As a notoriously difficult person to buy for, I put the trilogy on my 'wish list', and I'm glad I did.
All three films are a lot better than memory served, with Raiders of the Lost Ark standing tall as the best of the bunch. The boys at Lucasfilm can also be proud of a restoration job that, while not up there with the very best, is most impressive. Both audio and video elements have been given a thorough going-over, resulting in the best looking and sounding representation of the trilogy ever. You can't beat a bit of whip cracking in Dolby 5.1!
4: Punch-Drunk Love Region One
"Puch-Drunk what?" I hear you cry. Paul Thomas Anderson's fourth film got a limited outing in UK cinemas early this year, and it became a firm favourite of mine. More of a film to 'feel' than anything else, the movie features excellent performances from Anderson regulars Philip Seymour Hoffman and Luis Guzman, the lovely Emily Watson and, if you can believe it, Adam Sandler. I've heard some describe the film as a 'romantic comedy', but that title is far too bland for this fantastic bit of cinema.
The region one edition was marketed as a 'Superbit' title, which is largely inconsequential, and featured a DTS track in addition to the Dolby track found on other regions. Both tracks do an amazing job with Jon Brion's score, and the superb video transfer showcases the startling use of colour throughout the movie. Punch-Drunk Love may be an oddity, but that's not always necessarily a bad thing.
3: The Matrix Reloaded Region One
All right, you got me. It's me. I'm the one. I liked The Matrix Reloaded. It would seem that the sequels to 1999's The Matrix went down like a lead balloon with the majority of you, and while I have to admit to being disappointed with the final instalment in the trilogy, I absolutely love the second film. It may be shameless eye-candy wrapped up in pseudo-intellectual babble, but you have to admit that the bit on the freeway was cool. The fight scenes in Reloaded are breathtaking, and seriously left me wanting more at the cinema. I also had high hopes that Revolutions would make sense of the nonsensical, but sadly, much to my frustration, that was not to be.
Anyway, enough of my ramblings on the shortcomings of the finale, let's talk about the DVD. I defy anyone to show me a disc that looks and sounds significantly better than Reloaded, such is the high standard of the audio-visual presentation. With a virtually flawless video transfer, ably backed by perhaps the best Dolby Digital track of the year, why isn't it disc of the year? I have one word for you – extras. The set featured perhaps the most unashamedly self –promotional collection of featurettes I've ever seen, with scarcely any insight on the filmmaking process. Ah, what could have been (I said something similar at the end of Revolutions).
2: Donnie Darko Region Two
I couldn't believe my luck when I realised that this disc was eligible for the list. My little face lit up with glee! As a relative newcomer to the film (I originally saw it around six months ago), I still don't profess to know exactly what it's all about, but every time I watch Donnie Darko it does something that far too few films do nowadays – it makes me think. While the basic premise of the film is relatively easy to understand, there are so many levels that I never tire of watching it.
Thankfully the UK region two disc is also a bit of a corker, featuring solid audio-visual elements and a host of bonus material that's actually worth watching. The commentaries - from director Richard Kelley, actor Jake Gyllenhaal, and a group effort from the rest of the principal cast - are the stars of the show, but there's plenty more besides. The fact that it gave us a decent Christmas number one for a change didn't hurt either!
One last thing: if anyone can explain why the disc has two identical English 5.1 soundtracks, I'd love to hear from you!
1: Alien Quadrilogy Region One
The second late entry is also a rather predictable winner. Once I got my hands on it there really was no chance for anything else, as the first two films are long time favourites, and this set actually delivers more palatable versions of the third and fourth movies. The original Alien is a classic of both the sci-fi and horror genres, and is still capable of sending a shiver down the spine of even the most desensitised viewer. James Cameron's Aliens is one of those rare sequel beasts that actually manages to keep pace with the original, while Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection are interesting, if ultimately flawed pieces of work.
The Alien Quadrilogy may win the prize for the most ludicrously named title of the year, but it also takes the top honours in virtually every other area. You have to see the video restoration work on the original to believe it, but that's not to say that the other films look poor. Sound is also excellent, with both the Dolby and DTS tracks offering all the subtlety and bombast you could ask for. However, it's the phenomenal collection of extras that really seal the deal. With forty-five hours of bonus content to wade through this is a reviewer's nightmare, but it's certainly the most comprehensive set I've ever seen. If you'd like to know more about this fantastic set then you can check out the reviews on the site, but take my word for it when I say that nothing this year has come close to touching the Alien Quadrilogy. It's the undisputed champion of 2003!
Honourable Mentions
Just time to mention a couple of discs that didn't quite make in into the top five, but are well worth checking out all the same. Firstly we have the swashbuckling adventure Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, which stars Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, a sort of Keith Richards of the sea. Depp's performance is inspired, and really makes the film, but appearances from Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom don't harm things. The DVD release features both Dolby and DTS tacks, some entertaining commentaries (I'd like to know what drugs Keira Knightly is taking) and a veritable booty of bonus material.
X-Men 2 was in and out of the top five for a while, but don't let its eventual exclusion put you off. This is a first rate set, with stunning audio-visual presentation and a cracking set of extras. Ang Lee's Hulk was widely criticised (although I liked it), but the DVD release certainly didn't disappoint. Great visuals, an amazing soundtrack and a nice collection of extras went a long way towards earning the big green guy my respect.
And now we come to what will be, in most people's minds I'm sure, the most glaring omission from the list - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Let me just say that I did consider this for the top five, but then had to disqualify it on the grounds that I only received it very recently and haven't had a chance to watch it. Now I like the LOTR films, but I'm not a fanatical fan. In fact, I was decidedly under whelmed by the theatrical version of The Two Towers. However, I received the region three release of the extended edition as a Christmas gift, and I'm told it's a much better film. Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to watch the extended edition, and so I'm unable to comment on audio-visual quality, or indeed on whether the extended cut is an improvement over a film that would not have made my top five. Sorry all you Tolkien and Jackson fans – please don't lynch me!
Well that's it from me for this year. I'll be back, along with the rest of the team, in 2004, bringing you the very latest in news and reviews from the world of DVD.

Thumbs Up for Matrix Reloaded I must be one of the few who liked Reloaded better than the original film, mainly because it's the film that moved me from casual fan to full fledged fanatic.

Caring for Your Baby's Nasal Cannula
Topic Overview
Many infants who have chronic lung disease need home oxygen therapy, often for many months. The infant's oxygen needs often increase during and after eating or taking inhaled medicines.
To provide your newborn with oxygen, you may need to use a nasal cannula. A nasal cannula is a flexible plastic tube that is used to deliver oxygen to the body through the nose. Oxygen passes through the tube and into the nostrils.
Take basic precautions while caring for an infant who is using a nasal cannula for oxygen therapy.
- Order oxygen from your medical supplier 2 to 3 days before you run out.
- To prevent fire and explosion, do not allow smoking, open flames, oil products, or electrical or spark hazards in the same room or area where the infant is receiving oxygen.
- Make sure that the prongs of the cannula are always fully inserted into the infant's nose.
- Do not let the oxygen tubing become kinked or blocked.
- Keep the cannula on your infant as the doctor ordered. Most care for the infant can be given with the cannula in place, including feeding, bathing, and changing diapers.
- Arrange for a portable source of oxygen to use when you travel outside the home.
- If the infant has a stuffy nose from a cold or respiratory infection, he or she will breathe more often through the mouth. Mouth breathing decreases the amount of oxygen the infant receives through the cannula. If this occurs, call your doctor.
Help your baby stay comfortable by keeping the nasal cannula properly placed. Also, keep the nose area clean and the nasal mucous membranes moist.
- Check the infant's skin around the cannula's straps for irritation and proper fit. Often a padding of taped gauze will protect the infant's ears from rubbing caused by the cannula strap. If the skin irritation continues, call your doctor.
- If instructed to do so, always keep the humidification system of the oxygen container filled with sterile or bottled water. This helps to prevent drying of the mucous membranes in the infant's nose.
- Even with humidified oxygen, the inside of the infant's nose can become dry. Inspect the infant's nostrils daily for irritation. Gently clean the infant's nostril areas every day with a soft, moist cloth. To help prevent drying, gently apply a water-soluble lubricant such as K-Y Jelly where the cannula rests. Do not use petroleum-based products (such as Vaseline), because they increase nasal drying and can be flammable in the presence of oxygen. Call your doctor if the skin around the infant's nostrils becomes irritated.

The arrival in Clint City of mysterious individuals playing the part of righters of wrongs does not seem unconnected to the deployment of Dreadlash, the powerful Vortex captain, into the heart of the city. And Shazam, the clairvoyant machine will now only predict grisly futures to visitors of the Freaks circus. In fact this might explain why Cortez, who was perhaps aware of the threat hanging over the city, finally decided to release Konrad to defend Berzerk territory. Who knows, maybe globe-trotter, Florida Jane who's just back from her travels might be able to shed some light on the mystery. One thing's for sure, Clint city is in uproar and the clans are on their guard.

DETROIT, Feb. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Compuware Corporation (Nasdaq:CPWR), the technology performance company, today announced the results of its Super Bowl advertisers website analysis.
Super Bowl advertisers spend millions producing commercials to be seen by multi-millions of viewers. Consequently, advertiser website traffic typically spikes in conjunction with this enhanced exposure. As the industry leader in optimizing the performance of web, non-web, mobile, streaming and cloud applications, Compuware monitored advertisers' websites during the Super Bowl to gauge how each performed under increased load.
Additionally, in the spirit of Super-Bowl-caliber competition, Compuware conducted a head-to-head comparison of major brands -- based on long-standing industry rivalries -- that included Coke vs. Pepsi, Audi vs. Mercedes-Benz and Universal Pictures vs. Paramount.
While some advertisers' sites experienced minimum or no impact from the inflated traffic volumes, others suffered increased page load times and reduced availability, with a few sites crashing during the critical peak period. Over all, the brands that provided the best site performance included Go Daddy, Paramount and Lincoln.
The brands that posted the slowest page load times and whose sites were slow throughout the game included Doritos, Coca-Cola and Universal. As for the head-to-head competition, the analysis showed that Pepsi, Mercedes-Benz and Paramount beat the performance of their rivals in terms of average page load times.
"We closely monitored the sites of all of the key Super Bowl advertisers at five-minute intervals and were able to determine not only which sites performed well and which didn't, but why they performed the way they did," said Stephen Pierzchala, Technology Strategist, Compuware APM's Center of Excellence. "We were able to pinpoint causes -- from external factors like third-party services and CDN utilization, to design issues such as the use of rich media and heavy-weight plugins -- of the performance issues.
"There's a lot involved in ensuring websites perform optimally and provide visitors with an exceptional experience, because that's what users have come to expect and they can be very unforgiving when they don't get it," continued Pierzchala. "Consequently, it's now more important than ever for organizations to partner with a trusted expert like Compuware to ensure that poor website performance doesn't hurt the business."

Well, now that everyone has trashed compasses. Here's the compass that I really really like: http://www.suunto.com Click on "precision instruments", it's the Suunto Tandem.

Here you get background information on spectacle lenses. This chapter provides clear, straightforward information on the basics of ophthalmic optics, surface geometry and progressive lenses, lens materials, lens production and coatings, with concrete pictures and some interesting flashbacks to the history of ophthalmic lenses over the centuries.
Here you can find some interesting information about such optical parameters as wavelength, refractive index, transmittance, etc. and the role they play in the field of spectacle lenses.
The solution - a good appearance and good vision with one and the same lens - came in the form of the asphere and the atorus. In 1986 Carl Zeiss was the first manufacturer - and still is the only manufacturer - to offer a single vision lens with an atoroidal front surface: the Hypal lens
Read here about the history of glass and what optimisations have emerged over the years for the spectacle lens industry.
Here you can learn more about the general production of spectacle lenses, up to and including the special manufacturing techniques required for bifocal and progressive lenses. "From order placement to delivery" - here you can accompany your lens on its journey through Carl Zeiss.
Here you can read about the possibilities available for coating lenses:
from a single antireflection coating to high-tech coating, from surface protection for plastic lenses Clean Coat and lens tints and colours up to your wishes.
On our historical pages we trace developments right back to their early days.
And you will also learn more about the leading rights who discovered them.

GOP.com has posted an excerpt from John Fund's subscription-only Political Diary: "Senator Sieve." Fund reports:
Is Senator Harry Reid all that swift when it comes to U.S. Intelligence matters? Last Wednesday, the Minority Leader appeared on KRNV-TV's "Nevada Newsmakers" program and dropped a stunning revelation. He had been informed just that day that Osama bin Laden was killed in the giant Pakistan earthquake last month. "I heard that Osama bin Laden died in the earthquake, and if that's the case, I certainly wouldn't wish anyone harm, but if that's the case, that's good for the world."
Intelligence analysts tell me that the only proper action by a top U.S. Senate leader who has been given such information is radio silence. If the report is true, such information is best released at a moment of the U.S. government's choosing. For one thing, as long as the information is tightly held, it can be used to sift out electronic intercepts that might lead to other Al Qaeda leaders. On the other hand, if Mr. Reid's public speculation proves groundless, it only embarrasses the U.S. and contributes to enemy morale. Here's hoping Al Qaeda figures aren't soon appearing on Al Jazeera television chortling about the clueless Mr. Reid.
Earlier this month, Mr. Reid was eager to keep discussions of intelligence matters under wraps. For little apparent reason, he invoked a seldom-used rule that forced the Senate to go into secret session to debate complaints about pre-war intelligence concerning Saddam's weapons programs….
Our correspondent asks:
What does Harry Reid know that we dont? If there is something to this, why is Harry Reid leaking sensitive national security information before our intelligence agencies have anything to say? If there isnt, why is Harry Reid spreading falsehoods and hearsay?

No. 15 Harvard men's volleyball enters the final week of the regular season, 17-4 overall (9-3 EIVA) its most wins since 1997 when they went 17-14. (Gil Talbot)
CAMBRDIGE, Mass. - In what has been arguably one of Harvard men's volleyball's most successful seasons, the Crimson received even more recognition for its hard work as it was featured as the No. 15 ranked team according the American Volleyball Coaches Association weekly poll. Harvard, which has been receiving votes since its California road trip several weeks ago, finally cracked the rankings in today's edition, getting 26 points, four votes behind No. 14 Loyola-Chicago. This is the first time in the program's history that it's been included in the national poll.
The Crimson have proven to be a force this season as it has gone 9-3 in conference play and 17-4 overall. The 9-3 record is its best conference mark in the program's history and the team is on pace to end the regular season with its best conference finish since 2009 when the Crimson went 6-2 in the EIVA Hay Division.
Harvard is coming off a weekend where it defeated Saint Francis (Pa.) for the second time this season, 3-1, and took No. 7 Penn State to five sets before eventually falling, 3-2. Harvard has swept Princeton, Sacred Heart, Saint Francis (Pa.) this season and has the ability to do that to NJIT and Rutgers-Newark this coming weekend. Harvard also swept the season series against Cal Baptist and upset No. 11 Cal State Northridge on its home court.
Harvard prepares for its final two games of the season when it heads on the road to face NJIT and Rutgers-Newark this Friday and Saturday. Both matches are slated for 7 p.m. starts.

Man, 74, beat foe with sledgehammer, video shows
Sanford man faces charges in attack
Man, 74, beat foe with sledgehammer, video shows
Sanford man faces charges in attack
SANFORD, Fla. —
A 74-year-old man was arrested Tuesday after police officers said he beat another man with a sledgehammer.
Issam Hotoum said he was trying to settle a dispute, but authorities said surveillance video shows a violent attack.
The incident happened at the Sanford Plaza on US Highway 17-92.
The victim, a 68-year-old man, was first nudged by Hotoum's pickup, officers said, before he was struck several times with a sledgehammer.
"He wanted to kill me. You see the video. He wanted to kill me," the victim, Omar Elsayed, said.
Hotoum said he was using a branch to hit Elsayed, but investigators do not agree.
Hotoum is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill and aggravated battery on a person over 65.

The First Annual Florida Writers Holiday Gift List for Writers, Part I
We've been asking what you might want for the holidays. The list of your wishes is coming up. But here are some gifts you might not have considered.
What should you get your beloved writer friend this year for the holidays? It's a question that we and many of our family members have pondered forever. This year, we're putting together a list of reasonably priced options that will light up your writer's friend's face while not totally breaking the bank. The obvious things, like a tablet computer, a gift card to a book store, or books themselves…you don't need us to suggest them.
Here are some things you might not have considered:
Internet Blocking Software — So you need to get your work done, but the lure of Facebook is just too strong? Try Freedom. For ten bucks you can make the Internet inaccessible for the time period you specify. If you need to get online, you can reboot your computer. Rebooting isn't horribly difficult, but it takes just long enough that you won't do it just because something exciting might possibly be happening in your feed.
Single Sheet Cutters — If your writer friend scours the newspaper for ideas, they could use a tool that cuts only the top sheet of paper, but does not cut any pages below that sheet. Levenger's single sheet cutters are only $19 for a pair. The sheet cutter is a small piece of ceramic that extends only far enough to cut one sheet. If your writer friend is married to an extreme couponer, this is the perfect gift for both of them.
Evernote — If your writer friend has a zillion ideas all over the place and never writes any of them down, consider Evernote. Evernote takes the little notebook you bought to jot down ideas–and never used–and puts it in the cloud. In other words, once you set up your Evernote account, you can jot down notes from your computer, tablet, or even a smart phone and access them from anywhere. You can capture text or images, and once you synchronize, they're available from anyplace with Internet access. It's available for PC, Mac, Android, iPhone, and Blackberry. And it's free!
Archetype Cards — Yeah, it's kind of like Tarot, but it's probably not going to damn your soul to hell. In fact, if hell is the place where your characters don't come easily, it may save you from there. Archetype cards–and there are many different types–lay out character attributes for you. You can get the generic set for less than $15 via the Evil Empire, or even just a set of Tarot Cards. You could also hook them up with The Writer's Toolbox ($24.95), which has cards, sentence sticks, and all kinds of similar brain-rebooting tools. And there's always The Answer Deck, which I have seen put to very good use in writing prompts.
QuickOffice — If your writer friend has a tablet computer, including a Nook or a Kindle Fire, or even a smart phone with a decent-sized display screen, they can use it to squeeze in a little writing from time to time while waiting for children, spouses, or the car repair guy. QuickOffice is a reasonably priced ($14.99 for smart phones, $19.99 for tablets) office software suite for smart phones and tablets. It converts decently (though not perfectly) to Word's format and keeps most of the styles you set up. Any time you spend fiddling with styles is more than offset by the downtime when you can squeeze in some writing.
The Poet's Companion — Breaking the no-book rule for this one, suggested by Jamie Morris. According to Jamie, the ideas in The Poet's Companion are applicable to poetry, but also work with prose. In 41 reviews on Amazon, the average rating is 4.5 stars. This book lists for $17.95, but is available cheaper.
Time — If your writer is your significant other, how about some coupons to do the things he or she typically does. I'll do the laundry, or one week of free lawn-mowing, or a get out of cooking dinner card. These are free, money-wise. And they could build an enormous amount of good will around crunch times.
A Keurig coffee maker — This is probably the most expensive item on the list, but if your writer friend likes fresh coffee, it's worth it. Keurigs make individual cups off coffee on demand in mere seconds. Prices range from $90 to $259, but you don't have to buy the expensive K-Cups. My wife finds reasonable prices from time to time by looking for sales, and you can always shop at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and use the coupons that periodically appear in the paper. Or you can use the cup that comes with the system and pack your own coffee.

I seem to have a special gift for obtaining terrible headaches, a fun hobby I've had since grade school, and not for any one reason, but a huge variety: neck tweaks, migraines, hormonal, tension, kidney-related. Here's a few of my experimental findings from my own pain as well as treating others.
The herbs used tend to be limited to my personal favorites and local plants, which explains while I'll leave out certain popular headache herbs.
Headaches are generally quite changeable symptoms of a deeper problem. So, while these herbs can work very well for the pain, especially if you choose an herb specific to your imbalance, they're not cures. It's very important to find the underlying reason (like constipation, allergies, an imbalanced constitution, stress, nervous system disorders, hormones, poor digestion and just about anything else) for the headache and treat that.
Lavender: A great overall headache remedy that works for tension and neck tweaks and even for hormonally caused headaches.
Skullcap: A specific for those I'm so tense I can't breathe kind of headaches, where your neck is spasming and you're getting ready to scream at the next person who speaks to you. Other indicators are if you grind your teeth (asleep or awake) or have lots of jaw tension pain or find that your fists are constantly clenched.
Sage: Great for digestive headaches caused by an overindulgence or too much animal fat. Also one of the better herbs for hormonally caused headaches, especially with hot flashes. In a larger dose, it works great for tension headaches too.
Licorice: Specific for kidney yin deficiency caused headaches, it will probably work well for general adrenal insufficiency headaches as well. And for some people, it works on all headaches, all the time. It's contradicted for people with a tendency towards water retention and general bogginess.
Peony: For crazy neck spasms, general tension and sensory over stimulation. I've found it to work wonderfully for PMS headaches (and it helps the cramps and moodiness too). A great and underused herb (see Michael Moore's Medicine Plants of the Mountain West for an in-depth discussion, or just wait until I get around to doing a full post on Peony). Keep in mind it's a rather cool herb so if you have a tendency to feel cold and find your headache aggravated by cold, then choose a warmer herb and combine peony with something warmer like ginger.
Mugwort (Artemisia spp. ): Best for what I call "liver headaches" when your body just doesn't want to digest the food in your belly, especially when there was a high fat content. You feel nauseous, bloated and heavy. I like Mugwort tinctured in ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) for this. Also works remarkably well as an oil for external use on neck pain (and tendinitis for that matter).
Poplar/Cottonwood: Ah yes, all that wonderful salicin and populin, that relieves all sorts of pain. It's specific for hot, flushed kind of headaches. I also combine it with whatever specific headache herb is called for to potentiate the mix. Contradicted in people with aspirin reactions or those on anticoagulants.
Vervain: My favorite for disorienting PMS or neck tension headaches… when it's really called for, you only need a very small dose of the fresh plant tincture. In fact, I find that if I take more than I need, it will actually aggravate the tension (anyone else found this?) The tincture works so well that I'll often get shivers from the rapid release of my neck muscles, makes me feel like a limp fish (in a happy way).
Ginger: For cold headaches, and those caused by external influences such as viruses. Also seems to work really great for headaches caused by circulatory congestion and cold, stuck sinus infections. Also works well as a migraine preventative by keeping blood vessels dilated.
Clematis: A migraine and cluster headache specialty, but will often work in other headaches as well. Michael Moore says that it has a vasoconstricot effect on the brain lining but a dilating effect on the veins. Try both the tea and the tincture to see which works best for you.
Dandelion: Another heat clearing herb specific to liver/digestive headaches, or where there's lots of damp heat stagnating in the body.
Goldenrod: Externally, the oil on the neck and skull can relieve intense muscular pain. It's actually quite a remarkable plant this way, works on arthritis, pulled or strained muscles, better than more popular herbs like SJW or Meadowsweet for these purposes in my experience. Internally, for sinus infections and allergy headaches related to stuffiness.
Ambrosia (ragweed): Sinus headaches with stuffiness.
Rose Petal: for hot, damp, congested headaches that are often accompanied by feverishness, hot flashes, gas and bloating.
Mullein Flower & Root: For all kind of neck/back induced headaches, also great for tension and digestive caused headaches. Actually, this is an excellent herb for just about any kind of pain. The temperature feels pretty neutral to me, so you cool it down or warm it up with other herbs according to your constitution and kind of pain.
Jamaican Dogwood: Ok, I don't usually like herbs this exotic, but I've found this plant specific for toothache headaches in those people for whom just about NO nervine or pain reliever will work. This is a strong sedating herb, so no heavy machinery ok?
Elder Flower: Deep, hot, tense headaches. If the tincture doesn't work, try a cup of the tea.
Black Cohosh: I've don't know Black Cohosh very well, but I've learned that the indications are dull, aching, cold kind of pain, possibly with depression (doom and gloom type). According to Michael Moore, Baneberry has identical indications, but again, I haven't used it.
Yarrow: Another great one for digestive headaches. Also good for toothache caused headaches (try the root), it's also good for stagnant, dull aching headaches.
Oregon Grape Root: For those hot, gooey, face exploding kind of sinus infections that result in terrible headaches. Another one for congested liver headaches.
Osha: Headache with altitude sickness, inability to get enough oxygen.
PS A big thanks to Henriette for her sweet words about my blog.

Yay! YOu know so many plants kiva!!
Thank you! It's getting easier to understand each individual plant the more I learn about energetics.
Kiva – wonderful post!
I picked Vervain for my green ally this past summer and had quite the run in with her. I decided to eat a leaf to get to know her. I guess that wasn't the best idea, I basically went into some kind of a trance-flu. Dizzy, flushed with heat, nauseous, and seeing double. It was awful I couldn't get up off the couch for probably 2 hours without risking throwing up or passing out.(My plants waiting patiently in the kitchen for their fate as a tincture) And when I recovered? My frozen neck was completely freed 🙂 So yup – works for frozen necks alright, but I think a more gentle dose would do just fine. Turns out it has been used as a very potent emetic.
I did still get to make the tincture!
Skullcap is definitely on my list for headache releif, and Black Cohosh for lower back pain is amazing.
oh sorry – that was me – ananda:)
Yes indeed, Vervain has been used as an emetic… though generally it takes a lot more than a leaf. Rhiannon regularly eats a leaf or two from our Vervain plants, she calls her "the sleepy plant" (and indeed, it's known as Dormilon, or sleepy head in Spanish), it seems that some people have very strong reactions to Vervain, especially tense, tight people with lots of stress in their life. I use a drop dose of the fresh plant tincture. Anything beyond a dropperful seems to make most people quite nauseous. I'll do a whole post on Vervain really soon, promise.
Exellent post – thanks!
Wow, those are some pretty intense reactions to vervain. It's good to keep in mind. I've always loved vervain too, though most often i've used a tea. My tincture got real funky and gloppy. Think henriette had a post on that once. The tea is really nice, especially with some lemon balm or peppermint for flavor. I actually had some before bed the other night, and slept like a baby!
i've always considered it a gentle sedative, but maybe it bears looking at again! eh?
[…] can vary hugely in consistency, symptoms, length and other factors. I've talked about headache differentials previously, and will probably expand even more on them in the future. For now though, I'd […]
I was happy to uncover this particular site. I wanted to thank you for your time, and then for this wonderful read – I certainly appreciated each and every little bit of it, and already have you book-marked to check out new stuff.
Thank you Kiva for this very clear and helpful info, in the midst of a two day cycle migraine, joy of joys, and can't even think of my own granny let alone what herbs to take! This was most useful!

Arman (ARMAND Fernandez) was born in Nice, France in 1929,
When about 20 years old he abandoned his surname and since the mid 1950s when the 'd' was omitted from his name in an exhibition catalogue he has been known simply as Arman. In 1949 he moved to Paris where he studied archeology and oriental art but began painting. He travelled extensively and served in the French Indo-China war. In the early 1950s he became influenced by Serge Poliakoff and Nicholas de Stael, both abstract painters and later met with American artist such as Larry Rivers, Rauschemberg and Jasper Johns. He began making sculptures and exhibited very abstract works in Paris.
In 1957 he gained interest in common objects as works of art. His first works after this point were objects dipped into paint and then pressed into canvases. In doing so, the objects' shadows or impressions were left behind. He called these object impressions, or allures d'objets. Arman then figured that the objects themselves were of some importance, and began to treat them in a special way. He started piling objects in 1959, in view of criticizing art and the consummer society.After meeting Marcel Duchamp in New York in 1 ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

February 11, 2013 09:58 ET
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 11, 2013) - Mindoro Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MIO)(ASX:MDO)(FRANKFURT:WKN 906167) is pleased to announce that Red Mountain Mining Ltd. (ASX:RMX), 53.3% owned by Mindoro, has disclosed new Mineral Resource Estimates for the Batangas Project, comprised of Archangel (Kay Tanda) and Lobo (South West Breccia, "SWB"), Luzon Island, Philippines. These properties were recently acquired from Mindoro.
Red Mountain, utilizing and reinterpreting the historic drill data base of Mindoro, with additional information from recent drilling and trenching, has estimated the resources at a cut-off grade (COG) of 0.85 g/t gold (a NI43-101 compliant technical report will not be filed at this time, and is not required by ASX JORC regulations).
The new Mineral Resource Estimates for the Batangas Projects are summarized in the table below:
Red Mountain has adopted a strategy to transition Batangas' historic low-grade bulk gold tonnages to higher grade resources suitable for a Carbon in Leach (CIL) treatment facility with a focus on discovering additional high grade gold lodes and developing the current resources.
Red Mountain reports that drilling is in progress testing epithermal gold lode structures at West Drift, Lobo, where two drill rigs are operating. A third rig is being added for scout drill-testing of other gold targets in the over 10 km of epithermal vein breccia trends at Lobo.
The previous Mineral Resource Estimates for Archangel were calculated using a lower COG, with the objective of defining a bulk-tonnage, open-pittable resource, and utilized a COG at 0.3 g/t gold for oxide material and 0.5 g/t for transitional and sulphide material. At SWB, a COG of 0.5 g/t gold was utilized. NI 43-101 compliant technical reports dated April 14, 2010, for Archangel, and February 17, 2005, for SWB, are available on SEDAR and Mindoro's website.
The previous Mineral Resource Estimates using the above COG's for the Batangas Projects are shown below:
Further details can be seen in recent Red Mountain releases accessible on the Red Mountain Mining Ltd website, www.redmm.com.au. Mindoro, as a substantial shareholder of Red Mountain, will provide summaries of news released by Red Mountain from time to time.

Electronic Medical Records Cut Medication Errors for HIV Hospital Patients
October 23, 2012
Researchers at IDWeek 2012 have stated that the use of electronic medical records (EMR) technology has reduced medication errors among hospitalized HIV patients from 16 percent to 1.1 percent, a 93 percent reduction. Jean Lee, Pharm.D., clinical pharmacist for HIV medicine at St. Mary's Health Care in Grand Rapids, Mich., states that patients living with HIV who are hospitalized for non-HIV illnesses often experience errors with their medication, likely because of the complexity of their antiretroviral regimens and the lack of familiarity with these among hospital staff. Lee and colleagues reported on results of a small EMR study of 20 patients at IDWeek 2012. Lee noted that the use of EMR "improved patient safety and showed a financial benefit" of approximately $25,000 for the hospital.

For some reasons, we do not support DirectSound directly in the VXD driver. We just have the DirectSound software emulation layer do it for us. I think that is why you have delay in sounds in DirectSound games. We suggest you to upgrade your OS to Win98SE or later versions. Our WDM driver has more powerful features, such as EAX support, and it will support DirectSound better than the VXD driver.
Our AC'97 CODECs support the SPDIF function on P4B with the WDM driver. With limitation of the MS kernel driver, the Win98SE cannot support SPDIF with AC-3 format without MS QFE269601 installed on Win98SE. If you want to play AC-3 format under Win98SE, QFE269601 should be installed. If you want to play AC-3 format under Win2000, service pack 2 should be installed. WinMe and WinXP can support AC-3 format without any patch files from MS. For Wave (PCM) format, all Windows OSes can be played with the WDM driver.
In fact, the AC'97 audio CODEC is a standard CODEC for audio controllers. The most important part is the audio controller which is provided by SouthBridge chipset vendors. We are an AC'97 audio CODEC vendor, not a SouthBridge chipset vendor. AC'97 audio CODEC drivers are varied for different audio controllers. But if the audio controller is the same, the same drivers can be used for most AC'97 audio CODECs. If you can find drivers for your audio controller for the other OSes, they can usually be used with Realtek AC'97 CODECs.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — President Barack Obama's campaign is running a new television ad claiming Republican Mitt Romney's policies would "hit the middle class harder."
The ad says Romney wants to extend tax cuts for millionaires at the expense of middle-income earners.
Romney has called for an extension of tax cuts first approved by George W. Bush for all income earners. Obama wants to let the cuts expire at the end of the year for families making more than $250,000 a year.
The ad says Romney doesn't see the "heavy load" the middle class is carrying.
The new spot is airing as Democrats open their party convention in Charlotte, N.C., where they'll focus on Obama's economic plans for the middle class.
The ad is running in Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia, key battleground states.
Responding to the ad, Romney campaign spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg said Obama is the only candidate who wants to raise taxes, while Romney has a plan to lower rates, help create jobs and boost take-home pay.

OAKLAND, Calif.—Golden State rookie Harrison Barnes provided the signature moment of the game when he threw down a thunderous one-handed dunk over Minnesota center Nikola Pekovic in the second quarter.
It was Barnes' rebounding that excited Warriors coach Mark Jackson the most.
Barnes had 10 points and 11 rebounds, Klay Thompson scored a season-high 24 points and Golden State beat Minnesota 96-85 on Saturday night.
The seventh overall pick in this year's draft, Barnes had three points as part of a 19-2 run in the fourth quarter, but it was his emphatic dunk over Pekovic that had the Oracle Arena crowd buzzing.
After Alexey Shved's layup gave the Timberwolves a 41-38 lead, Barnes raced down the court and took a bounce pass from David Lee before grabbing the ball with his right hand and slamming it through the hoop as Pekovic tried to stop him.
"Top, by far," Barnes said when asked where the dunk ranked in his basketball career. "It probably would have been a little bit better if it would have been and-one. I just wanted to finish strong."
Jackson called it a big-time play by his young rookie.
"Well it's behind Tom Chambers' (dunk) over me," Jackson said. "Harrison really showed his athletic ability and that's going to be one that he will remember for a long time to come. More importantly for him, he led us in rebounds. You've got to be committed as a big man to box out Pekovic and also Kevin Love."
Love, playing in his third game since returning from a broken right hand, had 15 points and 15 rebounds but couldn't prevent Minnesota from losing its fifth straight.
He wore a black protective pad on his hand most of the night before ripping it off and tossing it to the bench with six minutes remaining.
"It's very restricting," Love said. "I can't bend my hand all the way back and I couldn't get a good feel for the basketball. The doctor said it was OK to play but at the same time he warned that I'm coming back two weeks early and I have to keep working on my conditioning, my range of motion and shooting."
Stephen Curry had 20 points and six assists, while Lee added 17 points and eight rebounds for Golden State, which has won 10 of 12 against Minnesota.
The Warriors trailed most of the game but went on a 19-2 run, with reserves Carl Landry, Draymond Green and Barnes providing the bulk of the scoring. Landry had five points and Green had four to help Golden State go ahead for good.
Thompson was criticized earlier in the week after a poor shooting performance against Dallas on Nov. 19, but has been steady since. He shot just 1 of 8 from 3-point range but was 7 of 9 inside the arc and is averaging 21 points over his past three games. Landry finished with 18 points and nine rebounds off the bench.
Minnesota, still missing several key injured players, couldn't keep up and lost its fifth straight.
The Timberwolves made several mistakes along the way, blowing a 3-on-1 fast break in the first half, then shooting just 32.4 percent in the second half.
Not even a gift basket by Golden State's Andris Biedrins was enough to help coach Rick Adelman's struggling squad. Biedrins was battling a teammate for a rebound underneath Minnesota's basket when he accidentally tipped the ball into the hoop.
The Warriors also outrebounded the Timberwolves 48-39.
"A lot of it is the big men have to play better defense, and that's mostly me," Love said. "I have to take the blame, and some of the other bigs do, too, because we have to help each other out."
The Warriors have their own injury issues.
They lost key reserve Brandon Rush to a season-ending knee injury in their home opener on Nov. 2, and have been without center Andrew Bogut for nine straight games and backup forward Richard Jefferson for four.
Bogut, the No. 1 overall pick in 2005 who broke his ankle on Jan. 25, has played in only four games this season but the team said last week it hopes the 7-foot Australian can resume practicing Monday.
Love had six quick rebounds in his third game since returning from a broken right hand but was on the bench when the Timberwolves built a 35-24 lead with mostly reserves on the floor.
The Warriors came back and tied the score at 47-all on Thompson's short runner, but Jose Barea made a 9-foot jumper and Andrei Kirilenko followed with a dunk to give Minnesota a 51-47 halftime lead.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Philip Rivers' last pass fell incomplete near Charles Woodson's feet and the celebration began. Woodson got a Gatorade shower and then led the fans in a chant of "Rai-ders! Rai-ders!"
What was Woodson's final game in Oakland — and might have been the last for the Raiders as well — was far from pretty but it ended in a victory.
Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 31-yard field goal in overtime and the Raiders got a defensive stop to seal a 23-20 victory over the San Diego Chargers on Thursday night.
"I guess it had to end like that," Woodson said. "It was a little much for me. I would have rather it had been a lopsided victory and...

Friday Video – Fishbone, "Sunless Saturday"
We had so much fun rocking out to Living Colour last week that we decided to make it a two-fer. In that one special way, that is.
Fishbone were ska giants for years, but when the '90s rolled around, the band knew that it had to adapt or die. Of course, their version of adapting is not quite to the letter of the law – we love this song, but those keyboards are a little too Styx-ish for our liking – but it gets the most important stuff down. In fact, this song is about six months ahead of Kurt Cobain's shot heard 'round the world, bringing the rock at a time when alternative radio was still primarily dominated by British dance acts. Having Spike Lee direct the video didn't hurt, either. We're very curious to see the upcoming documentary "Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone," to be sure.
