Dental Anesthesia
What Do I Need To Do If I Am Allergic To The 'Caine' Family?
I am allergic to all pain anesthetics related to the "caine" family. I have increased blood pressure, problems breathing and increased heartbeat. What is a safe and current alternate numbing anesthetic that my dentist can use?
The reactions you have described ("increased heartbeat, problems breathing, increased blood pressure") are not uncommon when patients receive dental local anesthetic injections, but are usually not due to an actual allergy to lidocaine.
True allergies to dental anesthetics, although they do exist, are exceedingly rare. It is much more likely that your reactions are either from anxiety, from the discomfort of the injection, or to the epinephrine in the local anesthetic solution.
Many patients are nervous when they receive injections, and may experience just what you described during and immediately after the injection. It is also possible that some of the epinephrine in the anesthetic solution was absorbed into your bloodstream, which may make you have an increased heart rate and blood pressure for a brief period of time.
I would discuss your experience with your dentist. He or she may be able to help you through the injection, for example, with medications to reduce anxiety such as nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") or sedatives. Your dentist may also choose an anesthetic which does not contain epinephrine. Perhaps just understanding what is happening will make these injections easier for you.
Have you undergone medical tests to look for a specific allergic reaction to local anesthetics? If you still feel that you have an allergy, you could have allergy testing to confirm or deny this.
True allergies to modern local anesthetics are extremely rare, and only a few cases have been reported worldwide. Some patients may instead have an allergy to the preservative or sulfite in the anesthetic solution. Also, since lidocaine is one of many medications that may be used to save your life in cardiac arrest, it would be helpful to know if you have a true allergy if you need medical care in the future.
All of the currently available dental anesthetics are "caines". If you test positive for a true allergy to local anesthetics, then you may need to have general anesthesia ("completely unconscious") for dental procedures, since the dentist is not able to "numb" you.
While this service is not available everywhere, you may be able to find a dentist in your area who can either bring you to a hospital, or has an anesthesia provider for his or her office, to have dental work completed under general anesthesia.

The FBI's most wanted list is exclusively male, and the vast majority of the other fugitives on its website are also men. Women fugitives do appear on the agency's website, mostly in parental kidnapping cases, but also in murder, domestic terrorism, white collar crime and violent crime cases. Bounties for women fugitives range up to $1 million. Read on to learn what some of these women did … and see if any of them look familiar.

Here is a look at some interesting political stories percolating in the Virginia political world:
*Rep. Jim Moran's son Patrick is in trouble again. Patrick made headlines during the election when James O'Keefe's Project Veritas caught him on a hidden camera offering up tips to commit voter fraud. Now Moran is dealing with criminal charges. He pleaded guilty to simple assault after a Washington, D.C. police officer saw him smash his girlfriend's head into a metal trash can. Moran and his girlfriend Kelly Hoffman claim the whole thing is a misunderstanding. Steve Contorno has the full story at the Washington Examiner.
*Gov. Bob McDonnell continues to be well liked by Virginians. A new poll from Public Opinion Strategies gives the governor a 67% approval rating. As Julian Walker notes in the Pilot on Politics blog, the poll represents some of the highest approval ratings of McDonnell's time as governor.
*That same Public Opinion Strategies poll shows that the 2013 race for governor is tight. Terry McAuliffe (D) and Ken Cuccinelli (R) are locked in a statistical dead heat, with 15% of voters still undecided.
*Speaking of 2013, I bet you are hoping you start getting some mail pieces from the candidates right? Maybe not.. GOP LG candidate Pete Snyder is taking that into account as he finds a way to get his message into your mailbox without annoying you too much.
Snyder is ready to drop this mail piece which pokes fun at political mail pieces with a holiday twist. The mailer asks "What if career politicians took over your Christmas mail?" It then lines up two fictional pols with made up witty holiday "campaign" stances.
Snyder also beefs up his conservative credentials by offering voters that get the mailer a chance to scan a QR code that allows them to donate directly to Pregnancy Resource Centers of Virginia. The group is a pro-life organization designed to offer pregnant women alternatives to abortion.
Look for the Snyder mailer if you are a prime GOP voter or past delegate. The key contingent Snyder needs to attract in a crowded convention contest.

Careful Planning Saves Baby's Life
When Dawn and Scott Buxbaum learned the baby they were expecting had a heart defect, they turned to Mount Sinai Heart.
Dawn Buxbaum and her husband, Scott, were eagerly expecting their first child when Dawn began to spot. On Mother's Day, in her 17th week of pregnancy, Dawn miscarried. A problem with the baby's' heart was believed responsible for the miscarriage. Two years later Dawn became pregnant again, and all went well until her 28th week.
Problems with the Fetus's Heart
Dawn was undergoing a routine ultrasound when her technician saw something worrisome and consulted a doctor. The baby's heart, it seemed, wasn't functioning properly.
"We were shell-shocked," Dawn remembers. "My husband, who never cries, was inconsolable."
The following morning, Dawn and Scott met with a pediatric cardiologist, who told them an aortic valve in the fetus was severely malformed. The cardiologist believed their child would need three open-heart surgeries in the first four years of life or a new heart altogether. They were referred to Ira Parness, MD, Professor of Pediatrics and then Director of Pediatric and Fetal Echocardiography at Mount Sinai Heart. Dr. Parness had experience in congenital heart defects and could better explain the necessary surgeries.
"We knew we had to act fast," Dawn says. "Dr. Parness saw us the very next day."
A Severely Narrowed Valve
By the time the Buxbaums arrived at Mount Sinai Heart, Dr. Parness, had reviewed all of Dawn's medical records and was fully aware of the situation.
"He performed an echocardiogram himself, sat us down, drew a diagram of the heart, and explained the surgery in detail," Dawn says. Their baby's aortic valve, they learned, was severely narrowed.
Dawn never forgot Dr. Parness's next words. He recommended a new alternative: balloon aortic valve dilation. A team of pediatric interventional cardiologists would perform cardiac catheterization on her son soon after birth. The procedure enables physicians to widen an aortic valve by entering the heart through flexible tubes threaded through the veins.
When Dr. Parness told Dawn that he thought her son would be a good candidate for the surgery, she instantly consented. If the procedure were successful, her son could avoid open-heart surgery.
New Worries at Week 32
Everything proceeded according to plan until Dawn's 32nd week, when she learned the fetus had begun taking on fluid. Dr. Parness asked Dawn to come to the hospital and prepare for an early delivery.
Because premature babies are at risk of serious complications, Dr. Parness worried that Dawn's son would be born too weak to endure cardiac catheterization. Dawn received medication to accelerate development of her son's premature lungs. She also took a medication to strengthen her contractions and reduce the fluid accumulating in her baby's body.
On Mother's Day, three years to the day from her first miscarriage, Dawn and Scott learned the treatment had worked.
"My obstetrician came in elated," Dawn says. "The fluid had been reduced. We were back to normal."
After several days of supervision, Dawn was sent home but returned for weekly monitoring. At 36 weeks, when her baby's heart was considered strong enough, Dawn returned to Mount Sinai Heart to deliver her son.
Out of the Womb and Into the Operating Room
On June 24, baby Tyler was born. While Dawn recovered from the birth, her son was sent to the Mount Sinai Heart Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory for balloon aortic valve dilation. For three weeks, Tyler lived in the Pediatric Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit, a specialized cardiac care unit for pediatric patients.
"The care in the pediatric cardiac unit was amazing," Dawn says. "Tyler had his own room and a dedicated nurse."
Tyler's condition improved over the next few weeks, and eventually his heart function was strong enough for him to go home. At 4 months, he received another catheterization to further widen his aortic valve. By his first birthday, Tyler was considered moderately improved. By age 2 , his heart function was considered normal.
"To look at him, you wouldn't think there was anything wrong," Dawn says. "There are no scars, and Tyler is a strong, completely active, intelligent child."
Should Tyler's aortic valve eventually deteriorate and need replacement, Dawn hopes that new, longer-term solutions will have been developed.
At Age 13, Tyler Perfectly Healthy
Dawn can't imagine what life would be like if she hadn't met Dr. Parness. Thirteen years after Tyler's remarkable birth and successful treatments, she and her husband celebrated their son's bar mitzvah, a coming-of-age ritual in the Jewish religion.
The Buxbaums are thankful for their son's continued health. They bring Tyler to Mount Sinai Heart every six months for a check-up,. And every January, Dawn and Tyler stand at a podium to address the next generation of doctors about their experience.
"I think it is important to educate medical students about the patient and parent perspective," Dawn says. "When faced with hard decisions, we need to be positively focused, regardless of the potential outcome, just as Dr. Parness was."

How to Pay a Bus Fare in London
You cannot pay for your London bus fare with cash.
A single bus fare costs £1.50 for adults. You can pay this fare by using a Visitor Oyster card, an Oyster card, a Travelcard or with a contactless payment card.
If you only use buses and trams to travel around London, you will pay a maximum of £4.40 per day, as long as you pay with the same ticket or contactless payment card every time.
For contactless payment cards issued outside the UK, please check with your card issuer as transaction fees or bank charges may apply.
To pay for your bus fare simply touch your Visitor Oyster card, Oyster card or contactless payment card on the yellow card reader as you board the bus, or show the driver your paper Travelcard ticket. Remember to only use the card you wish to pay with and keep all other cards separate.
If you don't have enough credit on your Visitor Oyster card, you will be able to make one more journey on a bus. You must then top up your credit before you can use your card again.
For for more information about London bus fares, see the Transport for London website.
Buy Your Travel Ticket Before You Leave Home
Planning a trip to London? Beat the queues, save time and money: buy a Visitor Oyster card before you leave home. It will be posted to your home address and is ready to use as soon as you arrive in London.
The card costs £3 (non-refundable) plus postage. There are a range of special promotions available to Visitor Oyster card holders which will save you money at leading London restaurants, shops and entertainment venues, plus discounts on the Emirates Air Line cable car and Thames Clippers river buses.
An alternative travel smartcard is Oyster, which looks a lot like a Visitor Oyster card and is used in the same way. The advantage of an Oyster card is that you can add a 7 Day Travelcard to the ticket as well as travel credit. However, you can only buy an Oyster card when you arrive in London.
If you have further questions about Oyster, read through frequently asked questions about Oyster to find the answer.
How to Add More Credit to Your Visitor Oyster Card
If you run out of money on your Visitor Oyster Card, it's easy to add more credit at:
- Touchscreen ticket machines in Tube, DLR, London Overground and some National Rail stations
- Around 4,000 Oyster Ticket Stops across London
- TfL Visitor and Travel Information Centres
- Tube and London Overground station ticket offices
Please note, you can't top up your Visitor Oyster Card online.
More Oyster Questions?
Still not sure which travel ticket you need to buy? Unclear on how to use your Visitor Oyster Card? Read our Oyster FAQs section for the answer to these and other Oyster-related questions.

Freedom Passes provide free travel for wheelchair users, as well as for older and disabled persons. Find out about adult discounts and concessions
Contactless Payment on London Buses
You can now pay for your London bus fare using a UK-issued contactless payment card.
You just need to touch your card flat on the yellow card reader as you board a bus – exactly the same as when you use a Visitor Oyster Card. Look out for the contactless symbol – remember to only touch one card on the card reader. Find out more about paying with a contactless payment card.
If your contactless payment card has been issued outside the UK, check the TfL guide before you use your contactless payment card to pay for a London bus fare. For any international transaction fees or charges that may apply, please check with your card issuer.
How to Ask the Driver to Stop a London Bus
Buses only stop at designated bus stops. They do not stop on request between bus stops.
To ask the driver to let you off at the next bus stop, press one of the red buttons which can be found on the upright metal posts throughout the bus. You will probably hear a bell and see a "bus stopping" light appear at the front of the bus.
London Bus Information
The Central London Bus Guide will be sufficient for most travellers. This map is available from TfL Visitor and Travel Information Centres or to download from our Free London Travel Maps page.
You can also plan your bus route online with Transport for London's Journey Planner.
Night Buses in London
London's buses run throughout the night. Night bus services cover the period between the close of the Tube and the start of daytime bus services. In addition, many London bus routes run for 24 hours.
If you're not familiar with the routes, head to Trafalgar Square (the hub for night buses) or check any bus-stop information board. As you'd expect, services are less frequent during the night. Night buses stop on request only: so you'll need to indicate your stop clearly to the driver when boarding or alighting.
London Bus Tours
London bus tours provide a unique opportunity to appreciate the full architectural splendour of London's famous streets and monuments. Tour guides offer historical background and interesting facts, with commentaries available in several languages.
Some regular bus routes are good for sightseeing too – try routes 9, 14, 15 and 22. The New Routemaster bus featured in the James Bond film Skyfall and runs on routes 8, 9, 10, 11, 24, 38, 148 and 390.
Accessibility Information
All 8,500 London buses (except heritage Routemaster buses) are low floor vehicles. Bus travel is free for wheelchair users.
Low-floor buses enable all customers, including people using wheelchairs, people with baby buggies (prams/strollers), people with assistance dogs, and people with other mobility impairments to get on and off easily. Every bus also has a retractable ramp, which must be in full working order at all times.
On all buses, there is room for one person using a wheelchair. Wheelchairs can be accommodated up to a size of 70cm wide (28 inches) by 120cm long (47 inches). Wheelchair users have priority over everyone else for use of the wheelchair space. There is no limit on the number of assistance dogs allowed on the bus, as long as there is space.
See Transport for London's Accessibility guide.
Bus or Coach To and From London
Coaches are a great option for cheap travel to London from almost anywhere in the UK or Europe. Read about Coaches to London.

Chelios to skate with Wolves on Monday
DETROIT -- Former Blackhawks defenseman Chris Chelios will skate with the Chicago Wolves of the American Hockey League on Monday and could sign with the team next week when it returns from a Canadian road trip, according to a Wolves spokesman.
Chelios, 47, played with the Detroit Red Wings last season and has expressed a desire to continue playing in the NHL. The Chicago native had no points and 18 penalty minutes in 28 games with the Wings last season. His possible signing didn't come as a surprise to his former teammates.
"I've talked to Cheli about it," Wings coach Mike Babcock said Thursday. "I think that's a good move for him. If you're playing you're a lot more attractive. Cheli doesn't mind playing in Chicago. He'd rather play with the other team. He wants to play in the NHL. Chicago gives him an opportunity in a town that he knows real well that gets him going and gets him playing. In this Olympic year with the condensed schedule, injuries are going to happen. Cheli is a guy who knows how to play and how to help your lockerroom and so to me he'll be a perfect fit for someone. But it will be better for him if he can get playing. He'll have a better opportunity to get picked up that way."
Added Wings star defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom: "He still has the drive and it's amazing someone at his age still has the drive and the love of the game and wants to continue to play. All the power to him for still being able to play.
"He's not playing as much as he used to when he was playing 30-plus minutes a night but he can still contribute to a team, especially with his leadership and what he can do in the lockerroom. He's still tough to play against out there when you're playing in your own zone."
The Hawks will be without Dave Bolland (back) and Ben Eager (upper body) against the Wings at Joe Louis Arena tonight, but fellow forward Troy Brouwer is likely to play. Brouwer (lower body) didn't practice with the Hawks the past couple of days.
"I just needed a couple of days off just to kind of rest it," Brouwer said following the morning skate. "I feel fine. I'm ready to go, I think. I'm taking warmups and going from there. I should be in. I should have no problem."
The Hawks recalled left wing Bryan Bickell from Rockford of the AHL on Thursday and he will be in the linueup against the Wings. Bickell has two goals in seven career games with the Hawks over parts of two seasons (2006-07 and '07-08). Bickell got the call last night while traveling with the IceHogs to Hamilton, Ontario, and flew to Detroit this morning.
"It feels good to be the first callup," Bickell said. "I just need to make the best of it and show them what I can do."

Aggies Capture Top Awards at International Range Science Competition
Thursday, Feb. 21, 2013
The USU Range Club's Undergraduate Range Management Exam team placed first at the international Society for Range Management Annual Meeting held Feb. 2-8 in Oklahoma City.
The Plant Identification Team of the USU Range Club placed fourth at the 2013 Society for Range Management Annual Meeting. The club received the society's Collegiate Trail Boss Award for overall participation in the international gathering.
Nineteen undergraduates from the USU Range Club in Utah State University's Quinney College of Natural Resources excelled in academic competition among teams from Mexico, Canada and the United States at the 66th Society for Range Management Annual Meeting held Feb. 2-8, 2013, in Oklahoma City.
"Our whole club worked hard all year to prepare for this meeting, both studying for the competition and raising funds for participation," said Kaitlin Hasler, president of USU's SRM student chapter. "The entire team's dedication showed in Oklahoma City."
Lara Kitchen placed first in individual competition in the Undergraduate Range Management Exam and, with teammates Colton Grange, Hasler and Shane Kitchen, placed first in the URME team competition besting 219 competitors from 27 schools.
Other Aggies who competed in the URME competition were Garrett Billings, Britney Bosshardt, Cari Forsgren, Elizabeth Goss, Jeremiah Hull, T.J. Knudson, Chris Lewis, Jordan Linnell, Raul Lira-Rodriguez and Kim Palmer.
Hasler placed first in extemporaneous speaking. The competition requires each participant to draw three topics, choose one and, within a two-and-a-half hour span, prepare and deliver a five to seven-minute talk. She spoke on the Wild Horse and Burro Act and its implications for rangeland management.
USU team members Goss, Clayton Handy, Lara Kitchen and Shane Kitchen placed fourth in the Plant Identification Contest. The event requires students to identify rangeland plants, important in Canada, Mexico and the United States, from a master list of 200 species. Participants must identify plants from seedling growth form to winter dormancy.
Plant identification team members, along with Garrett Billings and Chelsea DeMarco, scored in the top 25th percentile of the 147 competition participants. Additional Aggies who participated in the contest were Daltrey Balmer, Bosshardt, Amanda Cox, Lewis and Camille Waters.
USU's Rangeland Cup team, which included Cox, Forsgren, Handy and Hull, placed second in the academic poster competition. The Aggies' presentation focused on the assigned topic, "Discuss the debate regarding whether native or non-native plants are better-suited for use in rangeland restoration projects."
In recognition of the students' success in the gathering's varied events and overall participation in the annual meeting, Utah State's student chapter won the Collegiate Trail Boss Award.
"We're very proud of these students and the dedication they've demonstrated," said Fee Busby, professor in USU's Department of Wildland Resources who, along with colleague Chris Call, mentors the USU Range Club students. "It takes a great deal of commitment on the part of these students to prepare for and excel at these events."
Also at the meeting, USU alum Doug Johnson MS'74, PhD'76, former scientist at the USDA-ARS Forage and Range Research Laboratory at Utah State and adjunct professor in USU's Departments of Wildland Resources and Plants, Soils and Climate, received the 2013 W.R. Chapline Research Award. Johnson will be featured in a future highlight in Utah State Today.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT -- A water main break has forced Little League officials to find alternate housing for the night for the 16 world series teams.
"This is a first," said Stephen D. Keener, president and CEO, and it happened on a day when history was made by Mo'Ne Davis becoming the first girl to win a world series game.
The break was discovered about 4 p.m. Friday in International Grove where the teams stay, he said. The location is downhill from the dining hall and other facilities, he added, and that eventually everyone will lose water pressure.
South Williamsport firefighters have been putting 1,000 gallons every couple hours into a reserve tank but no one can stay in the grove tonight, he said.
Players whose parents are at the series have been allowed to take them to their hotels and they will be given money to buy breakfast, he said. Alternate arrangements that include Lycoming College have been made for the international teams whose parents are not here, Keener sad.
A lot of community organizations are helping out, he said. The Williamsport Crosscutters professional baseball team is allowing Little League to use its laundry, he said.
The Friday evening meal had been prepared before the break was discovered so all teams ate, he said. There ar dirty dishes waiting to be washed, he said.
Once all the teams are out of the grove, work will begin to repair the break and hopefully everything will be back to normal Saturday, Keener said. "We've never had anything like this happen," he said.

BOSTON — Bruins star center Marc Savard made his first visit to the locker room before the team beat Calgary today 5-0 at TD Garden.
It was a great boost to the club's morale to see their concussed playmaker, who has been out since Matt Cooke's blindside blow to the head March 7.
"Yeah, it was great to see him," said winger Mark Recchi. "He is having his good days and his really bad days, but it was really nice to see him. Obviously we call kept in touch with him through the phone, but it is nice to actually see him. It was nice to see him out and about a little bit."
Patrice Bergeron, who suffered a severe concussion in October 2007, was also heartened to see Savard making the rounds and as much as Savard was trying to rally his troops, Bergeron wanted to make sure his teammate knew that everyone is behind him.
"It was good to see him. I'm just happy he's doing better, but still you can tell he's got some tough times and we're all behind him, we're all supporting him," said Bergeron. "And I just want him to stay positive and stay patient. Obviously I'm sure it's hard for him to do that, but I feel for him and I'm behind him 100 percent."

For maximum benefit I suggest using the discussion page for page editing collaboration.
Firstly, some things on the current page aren't really clear, imho:
- "The standard arch kernel can be use to boot the domUs."
So, domUs can use the standard kernel?
- "In order for this to work one must add 'xen-blkfront' to the modules array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
On the domUs?
- "The basic idea behind adding a domU is as follows. We must get the domU kernels (...)"
BUT one can also use a standard archlinux kernel? Maybe there is an inconsistency.
- Maybe someone more experienced can explain how to use encrypted (LUKS) filesystems with xen;
- Maybe someone more experienced can add a section on how to use other OSs like Microsoft® Windows&trade.
- I opt to delete the alternative installation method because experienced users can figure this stuff out for themselves and it might be horribly outdated;
-- Voidzero 16:54, 7 May 2010 (EDT)
Thirdly: This is incorrect - was stated before to be a frontend for Xen - it is NOT - it is a frontend for xenserver by citrix
- openxencenter or openxencenter-svn is GUI similar to citrix xen console.
this is also not for xen directly - it is for xen cloud platform which is something different afaik
- xvp is web interface and vnc proxy.
After installing xvp, you need to generate /etc/xvp.conf with xvpdiscover tool and adjust your web server for using /srv/http/xvpweb/.
-- Friesoft 19:01, 23 May 2010 (EDT)
Old section about build failures with dom0 kernel 2.6.31:
Please note: At the time of this writing (23.5.2010) the current version uses a patched kernel version 2.6.31, which won't compile using gcc 4.5.
The problem can be worked around by temporarily downgrading gcc and gcc-libs to version 4.4.3. It may also be needed to build the gmp4 package. You can possibly find gcc-4.4.3 and gcc-libs-4.4.3 on ARM (see Downgrading Packages)
pacman -Ud gcc-* yaourt -S gmp4 # not sure if this is really needed
Note: this didn't work for me (friesoft, 23.5.2010)
necessary modules on Dom0
You need to load xen-blkback in Dom0 for /dev/xvda* devices. If you didn't load it, the DomUs won't find the device for the root file systems.
Similarly, you need to load xen_netback for the network connections, else xm create will pause for quite a while and then abort with a message that it could not configure vif.
(kernel 3.0)
After struggling with the apparently outdated install info, I finally managed to dredge up this tidbit: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=133220
The current instructions make it seem as though the AUR xen package will put a new kernel & img in /boot with Dom0 in the name. This is apparently not the case, as it seems to just re-use the existing kernel files (at least in x64 installs). Any chance someone more familiar with the subject could update the install instructions? Zootboy 23:39, 11 January 2012 (EST)
The standard i686 kernel cannot be used as Dom0 kernel
At least in my recently (May 2012) installed system. So I added a kernel verification subsection. Is that OK? Gnailuy (talk) 05:53, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
- This is true. The regular x86 (i686) Arch Kernel does not have Xen Dom0 support compiled in. I know that the x64 Kernel does have Dom0 support compiled in by default, and users are strongly encouraged to run Xen on a 64-bit host machine. It's good to have this section, but it should probably be reworked to explain better which Kernels have Xen Dom0 support and why. (I believe the LTS Kernel may have Dom0 compiled in the i686 version, but I'm not sure and I'm having trouble finding where I read that.) Zootboy (talk) 00:05, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
Suggestions to make this easier to read
I think we should add guidance to add xencommons & xend to rc.d to run xend on startup.
Mentioning pv-grub (far superior to pygrub, security wise) is also probably a good plan.
Luceo 23.49, 21st July 2012 (UTC)
Need to install bridge-utils to avoid an error on boot
At least I think that's the correct method, worked for me. Unless someone says otherwise, I will stop back and add that at some point.

David Hall: The city of Vancouver is of course in Canada, but Fort Vancouver is in the state of Washington. The Vancouver half dollar was struck to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Fort Vancouver. The coins were sold at $1.00 each in August and September 1925. But the founding of Fort Vancouver was not really an event of national significance and sales were relatively limited. The original sales were only 14,994 pieces, which in subsequent years made the Vancouver half dollar one of the rarer commemorative half dollar types. In fact, by 1928-29, Vancouvers were fetching as much as $10 in the numismatic marketplace, though they settled back down to the $6 to $7 range by the 1930's.
Today, the Vancouver is considered one of the more desirable coins in the 1892-1954 classic era series. And indeed, Vancouvers are scarce in Gem condition. There was a hoard of about 500 original mint state coins disbursed in 1982. Interestingly, Vancouvers were struck at the San Francisco Mint, but through some Mint production error, the "S" mint mark was not put on the coins. Though scarce, Vancouvers are found in Gem and SUperb Gem condition. This beautiful coin usually has a brilliant looking, frosty luster.

Terms You'll Need to Understand
sendmail wrapper
MIME encoding
SMTP (Windows only)
smtp_port (Windows only)
sendmail_from (Windows only)
Mail functions
URL functions
If you are going to be writing and deploying PHP scripts that generate and send email messages, you need to know something about how email gets delivered around the Internet. This will help you better understand and support your customers when problems arise. Figure 8.1 shows the main components of the email architecture.
Figure 8.1 How email is delivered.
Here are the standard terms that you will come across at some point or another.MTA—Mail Transport Agent
When email is sent from organization to organization, it is sent from email server to email server. The software that runs on your email server and handles sending and receiving email from around the Internet is called the Mail Transport Agent (MTA for short). Examples of Mail Transport Agents are
Microsoft Exchange
Lotus Notes
Mail transport agents talk to each other using the SMTP network protocol.SMTP—Simple Mail Transport Protocol
The Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) is the standard network-layer protocol for transmitting an email message across the Internet.
Servers normally listen for incoming SMTP connections on port 25.{mospagebreak title=MX Records}
When an MTA has an email message to send to another MTA, it has to convert the address in the To:, Cc:, or Bcc: line into an IP address. Everything after the @ sign in the address is taken to be the email domain. This is normally something such as @php.net.
The email domain isn't the real name of a server. It looks like a real name (and has to follow the same rules), but it isn't. It's actually a special kind of DNS alias.
To receive email for your email domain, you have to add an MX record for that email domain to your DNS server.
MUA—Mail User Agent
Note – If you don't set up an MX record in your DNS server, the MTA will look for a matching A record instead.
The Mail User Agent (MUA) is the jargon name for an email client.
Examples of Mail User Agents are
Outlook Express
A PHP script that sends email is also a type of Mail User Agent.
Mail User Agents read email directly from files on disk, via network protocols such as POP3 or IMAP, or via proprietary network protocols (as used by Microsoft Exchange).
Mail User Agents normally send their email by connecting to a Mail Transport Agent over the network via the SMTP network protocol. Some UNIX-based Mail User Agents might send their email instead by executing a sendmail wrapper program.
When a Mail User Agent connects to an MTA via SMTP to send email, it might use SASL to authenticate the user.SASL—Simple Authentication and Security Layer
The Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) is a tried and trusted way to bolt user-authentication onto existing network protocols. SMTP has been extended (via the SMTP AUTH command) to support SASL.
If an MTA has been configured to require authentication, only MUAs with built-in support for the SMTP AUTH command will be able to connect to send email.{mospagebreak title=Other Emerging Technologies}
Although email is as old as the Internet itself, the rise of unsolicited bulk email (commonly called spam), the increasing number of modern viruses that transmit themselves via email, and the fraudulent use of genuine email addresses for criminal intent mean that we are at the start of a period of great change in how email will be delivered in the future.
Junk email filters have become very popular. They can be added both to the MTA and/or the MUA. It's a fair bet that most of the email that these filters mark as 'junk' never gets read by a human. Junk email filters aren't perfect; genuine email that looks very like real junk email will also get marked as junk. When you roll out a PHP application that sends email, you should perform some tests with your customer to make sure that your email will get past whatever junk email filter your customer uses.
Because of repeated security holes in MUAs, the more tech-savvy businesses and users do not accept delivery of HTML email. It's very tempting to send HTML email—such emails look so much nicer than plain-text email. You should ensure that any PHP application you write that sends email always gives the user the option to choose between plain-text email and HTML email. You should never only support HTML email.
If you write and sell PHP software that works with email, it's important that you keep abreast of the new technologies that are always coming out. When capturing requirements from your customer, always make sure that you've agreed what email technologies the customer has adopted—or is planning to adopt within six months of the end of your project. The customer will (somewhat naively) expect your PHP application to work perfectly with whatever changes he plans to make to his email infrastructure—and will blame you if it doesn't.{mospagebreak title=Preparing PHP}
Before you can send email from your PHP script, you must first ensure that your copy of PHP has been correctly configured.If You Are Using PHP on UNIX
To send email from a PHP script running on UNIX, you must have a sendmail-compatible MTA installed on the same server that your PHP script runs on.
On UNIX systems, PHP sends email by running the command-line program
sendmail. sendmail is the de facto standard MTA for UNIX systems.
If you are using an alternative to sendmail, it must provide a sendmail wrapper. A sendmail wrapper is a drop-in replacement for the sendmail command-line program. It must accept the -t and -i command-line switches at the very least.
When PHP is compiled, the configure script searches for the sendmail command in
If configure cannot find the sendmail command, then sendmail support will be permanently disabled. The following PHP functions will either be missing entirely, or will always return an error:
mail()—will be missing
ezmlm_hash()—will be missing
mb_send_mail()—will always return false
When this happens, you must install a sendmail wrapper, and then recompile PHP.
Once PHP is compiled with sendmail support enabled, whenever your script sends email, PHP will use the sendmail command discovered by the configure script. If you ever need to override this default, set the sendmail_path in php.ini to point to the sendmail command that you want PHP to use.
sendmail_path = '/usr/local/bin/sendmail'If You Are Using PHP on Windows or Netware
Although not documented in the PHP Manual, if you set the sendmail_path setting in your php.ini file, PHP will attempt to send email via the sendmail_wrapper—behaving exactly as if PHP were running on UNIX. This can catch you out, so remember to look for it when troubleshooting email problems.
If you do not have a sendmail wrapper available, PHP on Windows talks to the mail transport agent (MTA) directly via the SMTP network protocol. PHP needs to be configured to tell it where to find your MTA:
The SMTP setting in php.ini must be set to the hostname (or IP address) of the email server that your MTA is running on. The default value is localhost. You will probably want to change that.
The smtp_port setting in php.ini must be set to the port that your MTA is listening on. The default value is 25. You probably will not need to change that.
Note – It isn't documented in the PHP Manual, but PHP on Novell Netware uses the same code for email support as PHP on Windows.
Caution – It is currently not possible to get PHP on UNIX to talk directly to the MTA via SMTP.
PHP on Windows does not support SASL. If your MTA is configured to require authentication, you will need to change the security on your MTA to enable PHP to send emails through successfully.
On UNIX, the MTA will automatically say that the email is from whichever user your PHP script is running as.
This can't be done on Windows because PHP is connecting to the MTA over the network via SMTP. Instead, PHP will work out who the email is from by looking in these places in this order:
the from: header line passed to the mail() function
the sendmail_from setting in the php.ini file
PHP will display an error and refuse to send the email if it cannot determine who the email is from.
If you compile your own version of PHP on Windows, and you are going to use it to send emails, it's important that you build PHP with the Perl-compatible regular expression (PCRE) library included. PHP on Windows relies on the PCRE functions to make sure that headers have the correct end of line character. If you build PHP on Windows without PCRE support, you might find that MTAs refuse to accept your emails for delivery.
With PHP correctly configured, you can now send email from your PHP scripts.{mospagebreak title=Sending Email}
Use the PHP function mail() to send an email message from a PHP script.
The first parameter of the mail() function is the email address to send the email message to.
Assuming that you are running your PHP script on the server that is the MTA for the example.com email domain, and that there is a local user called fred, all of these are valid email addresses:
- fred
The MTA thinks you are trying to send an email to the local user fred.
- firstname.lastname@example.com
This is the normal form for an email address, and the one that you are probably most familiar with.
- fred @ example.com
The MTA will automatically collapse the whitespace in the email address.
Although perfectly legal, email addresses with whitespace are seldom seen today.
- "Fred Bloggs" <email@example.com>
The MTA will automatically extract the email@example.com from between the angular brackets.
The entire string will be added as is to the From: line of the email message.
Note that the double quotes are important—do not leave them out.
Add additional addresses to the to parameter. Separate them by a comma and a space:
fred, firstname.lastname@example.com, "Jane Doe"
If you want to cc: or bcc: an email to someone, do this by adding additional headers to your email.
Please check back next week for the conclusion of this article.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stock futures rose Wednesday as investors shrugged off a U.S. report that showed the economy grew at a slower pace than was initially thought during the first quarter.
Most economists see the economy picking up at a faster clip during the second half of the year and economic reports this week on manufacturing, housing and consumer confidence are still providing markets with a tail wind.
Dow Jones industrial futures rose 70 points to 14,760. S&P futures added 6.6 points to 1,590.70. Nasdaq futures gained 20.25 points to 2,878.50.
The U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 1.8 percent in the first three months of the year, dragged down by lackluster consumer spending. Many believe the culprit is higher taxes, imposed at the beginning of the year.
The Commerce Department on Wednesday revised the annual growth rate for the first quarter down from its previous estimate of a 2.4 percent.
That is still a more robust growth rate than the final quarter of 2012.
China also relieved some of the drag on global markets by making an abrupt U-turn in regard to providing commercial banks with liquidity as the central bank tightens credit.
The People's Bank of China said Monday that banks would have to monitor their cash supply and make adjustments to ensure liquidity, suggesting that it would not be actively involved.
A day later, after markets in China and across Asia plunged, the central bank said that it would act to keep credit markets functioning, if needed.

A woman pictured wearing a bikini and offering companionship by the hour in exchange for "roses" in an ad on Craigslist's new adult section, while a little more subtle in her approach, is probably still a sex worker.
And a sex worker who had to pay for the privilege of posting the ad with a credit card thanks to new rules imposed by the San Francisco-based online classifieds site.
Welcome to the new look of Craigslist's red light district, where the company's crackdown on the sex trade has providers just putting on a new coat of makeup.
Harassed by lawyers and law enforcement, Craigslist promised to delete the "erotic services" section, and replaced it with the "adult" section.
New ads are screened by the company, and the people posting them have to provide a valid credit card number and a nominal fee starting at $5.
The review means that photographs of nude women are now scantily clad, and the fee means more of the ads are ending up in the free personals section such as "casual encounters."
After all, you don't get to claim the title of "world's oldest profession" if you're stymied by petty inconveniences like attorney generals and corporate publicists.
Jackson West figures fighting prostitution online or off has also been plenty profitable for police departments and political careers.

How do three carpenters feed an abandoned baby squirrel? Glass dropper in hand, huddled around a kitchen table in the historic district of downtown Alexandria, Va., we discovered the answer: with great difficulty.
The day previous, atop scaffolding in the driving rain, Jay pried off a return from the termite-damaged cornice of a house on Prince Street. We heard the sound of scampering, and a rust-red squirrel exploded out from the darkness of rotted wood. It balanced briefly on Jay's arm, seemed to consider the weather, then trotted down the side of the building. So it goes when you're replacing the entire cornice on a 19th-century townhouse. Back to work.
The following day, as we replaced termite-ridden framing, a splinter of wood fell on the yellow grating of the scaffold. Just before we swept it onto the waiting canvas 40′ below, the splinter moved, and revealed a dun-colored belly, tiny whiskers and two slits where eyes should be. It looked, with its little arms, like a ginger root. We picked him up, and decided we had in our hands a baby squirrel. Naturally, we named him "Cornice."

You guys, I'm really cranky today, despite it being world vegetarian day. Because on world vegetarian day, all vegetarians and vegans should be running around throwing kale confetti and smiling because it's our damn DAY. Sorry…I guess I am still sore over my big break-up with coffee.
Earlier today, my boss mused about that bazillionaire who bought most of Lanai, and I managed to segue the conversation to zombie apocalypse survival ("I mean, who wouldn't want a Hawaiian island, what with the zombie apocalypse coming…") and my colleague and I ended it with a debate: Can zombies swim and if so, if a shark ate a zombie would the zombie then eat the shark from the inside out? Feel free to weigh in, any zombie enthusiasts.
For the rest of you, here is a recipe I make when my bank account is particularly desolate, because it feeds me for an entire week and all of the ingredients cost under 10 dollars, total. The downside is you have to eat the same meal for a week straight but I think it's rather delicious so I don't mind. You know me, little miss monogamy. If you're not trying to eat it for a week or feed a family or seven, then stick some of the left-overs in the freezer.
The reason it is so cheap is because I use frozen veggies, which I always have on hand for that week leading up to my next paycheck when I'm seriously hurting but can't imagine a life without vegetables. I like frozen peas and carrots, but you can find some pretty jazzy frozen veggies nowadays… I can even find frozen shitake mushrooms.
"Cheap Date" Curried Lentils
2 cups dry brown lentils
1 onion, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbs fresh ginger, minced
1 large can organic diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons organic tomato paste
2 cups frozen organic veggies. I like to use a blend of cubed butternut squash, peas, carrots, and spinach.
2 1/2 tbs curry powder
1 tbs cumin
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Optional: 1 cup coconut milk. (I prefer full fat.)
Step one: In a large pot, using your favorite cooking oil (or water, for those of you who like to stay unprocessed!) brown your onions for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add garlic, ginger and all your spices, and stir for 1-2 more minutes. Prepare for your kitchen to smell like you've died and gone to heaven, if heaven was located inside a particularly delicious indian restaurant, like my heaven would be.
Step two: Add tomatoes, tomato paste, lentils and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil.
Step three: Once boiling, lower to a simmer. Add vegetables and 1 cup of liquid, either coconut milk if using or more water. Let cook covered for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
I like to enjoy over quinoa. Probably while discussing more zombies. Happy world vegetarian day, folks!

Sports Injury Attorney in Texas
Sports can be dangerous, even for people who consider themselves to be in shape. A sports injury is defined as any injury that you suffer while in the process of playing a sport. This might be anything from a torn ACL in your knee to a concussion earned on the football field. A good sports injury attorney in Texas understands that these are common injuries. When they happen, it's incumbent upon you to seek not only medical assistance, but also the assistance of a legal professional.
What to do when you're injured playing a sport
If you happen to be hurt while playing a sport, the most important thing is to seek treatment. Some sports injuries require immediate attention so that you won't have long-term consequences. With other injuries, you might not have to go to an emergency room, but you may need to seek the assistance of an orthopedist later. As you speak to a medical professional, it is critical for you to document all visits and costs.
A good Texas sports injury attorney will tell you to keep up with not only your medical costs, but also the costs incurred by missing work. This information can be helpful down the line when you're trying to establish a case. In addition, it is incumbent upon you not to claim any personal fault for the incident.
When to contact a lawyer
Not every sports injury will lead to a winning lawsuit. Your lawyer will need to establish that the injury was caused by either the negligence of another or the intentional act of another. As soon as you get treatment, though, you should get in touch with a lawyer. A good Texas sports injury attorney can advise you on the steps to take and can analyze the efficacy of your case. The earlier you contact an attorney, the better your chances of preserving the evidence needed to win your case.

Davidson County didn't care how it got to the dance.
Davidson County didn't care how it got to the dance.
The Warriors just wanted to show off their moves when they got there.
Michael Horrell tossed 6 2/3 strong innings, Colson Everett drove in three runs, and Austin Stilley sealed the deal with a three-run homer in the top of the ninth to lift Post 8 to a stunning 9-5 victory over Garner on the first day of the American Legion state championship tournament at Holt-Moffitt Field on Friday. With the win, the Warriors (16-12) moved into a matchup at 7:30 p.m. Saturday with Gaston County, a 4-3 winner over two-time defending state champ Wilmington.
Post 8, which was swept out of the first round of the Area III playoffs first round by Kernersville and hadn't played a game that counted in three weeks, got a two-run double from Everett in the top of the first to settle in. Everett rumbled home moments later on a wild pitch, and the Warriors were able to relax.
"It was real important, especially against a good team like Garner," Everett said of the fast start. "After not playing for so long, it's just good to get back in the swing of things."
Horrell, obviously rattled by the overflow crowd still hanging around the ball park from the opening ceremonies, walked the first two Garner batters he faced to run into instant trouble. Brett Daniels made the walks hurt when he hammered a two-run double to right center to get the Nationals within 3-2.
"I just wasn't really ready to come in," Horrell said. "I saw the crowd, and I couldn't get my mechanics working like I wanted to.
"But after the first couple of batters, coach (Dale Moser) came out and settled me down, and everything was good."
Indeed it was. Horrell allowed only four base runners over the next five innings, locating the fastball and mixing in a nice back door curve on Garner's left-handed batters.
Davidson, meanwhile, extended its lead to 5-2 in the top of the fifth when Christian Dix hammered a double to the gap in left center to plate Nick Williams, and Everett blooped a single down the right field line to score Dix. The Warriors made it 6-2 in the seventh when Zach Queen doubled up the hill in left center, and Stilley slapped a single to left to bring him home.
Moser was thrilled with how relaxed his squad was, especially in such a big game after a long layoff. "It was big, it was a confidence builder," Moser said. "Us getting on top, it's key in this ball. Especially kids this age. You get down sometimes, and it's tough to come back.
"It was big tonight. Our guys knew we could compete with them."
Horrell finally ran out of gas in the top of the seventh, when Garner turned two hits and an error into a run to get within 6-3. Taylor Stephens, who went 2-for-3, drove in Brighton Hudson to help Garner creep back a little closer. Tyler Rhodes came on in relief and struck out Jack Sherrill to escape further damage.
The Nationals nearly completed the comeback in the bottom of the eighth. Saylon Kieft reached on an error, then Daniels slapped an infield single. Nick Yarbrough then pounded a two-out, two-run double to right center to get the Nationals within 6-5.
With its lead nearly gone, Post 8 put together one last charge. Williams led off the ninth with a base hit up the middle, then Dix bunted him over to second. After Everett popped out, Queen ripped a shot down the third base line to put runners on the corner for Stilley. Mere moments after his grandmother won the 50/50 raffle in the stands behind home plate, Stilley turned on the first pitch he saw and hammered it over the fence in right center for all the insurance Post 8 needed. "6-5, up by one, we were getting a little nervous," Stilley confessed. "He happened to leave one in, so I decided to yank it."
Rhodes struck out Kieft to end the game, setting off a raucous celebration for the Warriors and their fans.
For Garner coach Chris Cook, the outcome was rather easy to figure out. "They hit and we didn't," Cook said. "Three guys had the seven hits we had. The other six were 0-for-24.
"We put ourselves in position to win it in the ninth, and a kid hits a three-run homer."
Daniels went 3-for-4 for Garner, and Yarbrough was 2-for-4.
Williams, Queen and Stilley had three hits each for Post 8, while Dix, Everett and Marcus Shoemaker had two hits apiece.
Garner will play Wilmington at 12:30 p.m. Saturday.

OK, so I haven't programmed in C for years and years. Haven't had a reason to until now, I'm helping out a friend with his first programming course in university - he's new to programming in general, and the first language they use is C. (Don't ask me why.)
Anyway, while browsing through his work, I thought I found a bug in his code. It's in the vein of:
...which I've always thought was a big no-no (you'd just be comparing pointers, i.e memory addresses), and that you should use strcmp() in string.h for what you intend to do. But just to remind myself and double-check, I wrote the following test program and compiled it with GCC:Code:if (stringvariable == "value") {
And hey, it printed "true". Huh. But what about:Code:#include <stdio.h> int main() { char* p = "abc"; char* s = "abc"; (p == s) ? printf("true") : printf("false"); return 0; }
And what do you know, that also printed "true".Code:#include <stdio.h> int main() { char* p = "abc"; (p == "abc") ? printf("true") : printf("false"); return 0; }
So has C changed since I last learned about it, or is this just evidence of a damn smart and helpful (at least in this situation) compiler?

The following is a guest blog post written by Matthew Foerster, project associate at KOMAZA, a non-profit working to connect small-scale farmers with high-value markets to improve livelihoods.
In Africa, barriers to raising agricultural production are numerous and complex. Lack of improved seeds and crop inputs, inadequate infrastructure to bring crops to market, tenuous land rights and an insufficient amount of finance for smallholder farmers all inhibit the potential of Africa's agricultural sector.
Decades of deforestation and prolonged droughts have resulted in extreme soil erosion and desertification. In Ganze, Kenya, it's essentially like trying to farm in a giant sandbox. (Photo credit: Matthew Foerster)
Last week, a group of international policymakers, researchers and donors gathered in Ghana to discuss what can be done to improve the situation and put Africa on a path toward lasting food security and economic prosperity.
Spearheaded by Kofi Annan, the African Green Revolution Forum focused on new initiatives to scale-up investment in African agricultural, including a specific focus on the so-called "breadbaskets," areas with nutrient-rich soil and adequate rainfall.
With the right policies and steady investment in smallholder farmers, there is tremendous potential for African countries to produce their own food and even become net exporters, and it's true that the best chances of success will be in these breadbasket areas. However, we must not overlook the unique challenges and needs of farmers living in Africa's arid- and semi-arid regions. We must remember that there are millions of rural dryland farmers who do not enjoy the benefits of frequent rainfall and fertile soil. These farmers take on extraordinary risk and are faced with minimal and sometimes non-existent returns when trying to produce staple food crops on their eroded land. And as research suggests, these are the same people who are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. What role will they play in a green revolution?
KOMAZA, an early-stage non-profit social enterprise, has developed a model that provides sustainable economic opportunities for rural farmers living in these semi-arid regions.
Where KOMAZA works in rural Kenya, infertile soil and frequent drought make traditional farming nearly impossible. Unlike the rich and fertile grain belts of Kenya's Western and Rift Valley provinces, the country's Coast province suffers from incredibly dry, degraded soil and low, erratic rainfall. Forget trying to grow major cash crops like coffee, tea or fruit here; it's essentially like trying to farm in a desert. Only for a few weeks in May and June does maize grow well in this part of the country; the land sits empty most of the year.

We've found a way to help dryland farmers capitalize on their large tracts of barren land by helping them plant and maintain small-scale, income-generating tree farms. Unlike seasonal crops that are dependent on accurate timing of rainfall, trees can survive several months without water and can effectively utilize rain whenever it comes. With small-scale forestry, subsistence farmers can unlock the potential of their otherwise unproductive, fallow land.
A half-acre of fast-growing, drought-resistant trees allows farmers to earn unprecedented amounts of income over a ten-year cycle as the trees are harvested, processed and sold as high-quality wood products – creating everything from lumber to electricity poles to satiate Kenya's massive and growing wood market.
Sustainable forestry already delivers incredible profits to large companies, but the economic potential of trees has been out of reach for Africa's poorest farmers. Although most dryland farmers have surplus land and labor, they have not been able to unite the full value chain required for profitable tree farming.
This is the unique need and opportunity that KOMAZA seeks to address. We are partnering with rural farmers, from seedling to market, to build Africa's first non-profit forestry company. KOMAZA has already planted over a quarter-million trees with 1,000 families. Within the past three months, we have recruited an additional 1,500 farmers who will establish small-scale farms in April. By the end of 2012, we aim to plant three million trees with 10,000 farmers.
By helping subsistence farmers plant trees as well as short-term crops on half-acre, family-owned plots, this model empowers Africa's indigenous communities whose livelihoods depend on natural resources. Simply put, it's a low-risk, high-return investment ideally suited for semi-arid environments. By integrating poverty alleviation with environmental conservation, microforestry offers an alternative to rampant deforestation and provides Africa's dryland farmers—those who may be the last to benefit from a green revolution—with a sustainable source of income to make life-long investments in their families' futures.
There is obviously no panacea to the challenges of food insecurity and poverty in Africa, especially in marginal, semi-arid regions. But I am among a group of about 120 people working for KOMAZA who believe that small-scale, community-based tree farming will help lift thousands of families out of rural poverty. We believe this is one example of a market-based approach that has the potential to bring about lasting environmental, social and economic change for those who need it most – farmers living in regions where the rain doesn't fall.
