Self Awareness The Insula • Ventromedial Frontal Cortex – Insula Body Awareness – Self Regulation Activations Insula – Brain Midline Area Activations • Another study by Lazar, Kerr, Wasserman, Gray, Greve, & Treadway (2005) revealed an increased thickness of two parts of the brain: (1) the middle prefrontal area, bilaterally, and (2) a related neural circuit, the insula, which was particularly thicker on the right side of the brain. The degree of thickness in these areas was correlated with length of time spent practicing mindfulness meditation. • An extensive review of many studies (Cahn & Polich, 2006) reveals a range of activations, especially in middle prefrontal areas (anterior cingulate), with mindfulness meditation. Interoception: Our Sixth Sense Insula interoceptive awareness, especially in subjective feelings associated with internal states. Associated with the limbic system. – Activation in imaging studies most likely to occur together with mPFC in self-referential tasks, esp as emotional self-relatedness increases. – Proposed to integrate a wealth of information, such as interoceptive sensations, which cumulate in a concept of awareness anteriorly. Insular Neuroplasticity – Heart rate • British researchers have found through neuroimaging that people who are more accurate in estimating their heart rate also have a larger insula; and, the larger the insula, the better the estimate. Interestingly, higher insula activation is associated with greater awareness not only of physical sensations but also of emotions.

Subjective reports of attentional absorption were modestly higher in meditators and across the entire sample correlated positively with cortical thickness in several regions corresponding to cingulo-fronto-parietal attention networks. Within these regions the meditation group had greater cortical thickness which was positively related to the extent of prior training. Evidence suggesting that meditative practice activates these cortical are as, improves attention and may ameliorate symptoms of ADHD by targeting vulnerable brain regions is discussed.

Biological Psychiatry. • Cognitive Abilities: Mindfulness meditation practices (MMPs) are a subgroup of meditation practices which are receiving growing attention. The present paper reviews current evidence about the effects of MMPs on objective measures of cognitive functions. Five databases were searched. Twenty three studies providing measures of attention, memory, executive functions and further miscellaneous measures of cognition were included. Fifteen were controlled or randomized controlled studies and 8 were case-control studies. Overall, reviewed studies suggested that early phases of mindfulness training, which are more concerned with the development of focused attention, could be associated with significant improvements in selective and executive attention whereas the following phases, which are characterized by an open monitoring of internal and external stimuli, could be mainly associated with improved unfocused sustained attention abilities. Additionally, MMPs could enhance working memory capacity and some executive functions. However, many of the included studies show methodological limitations and negative results have been reported as well, plausibly reflecting differences in study design, study duration and patients' populations. Accordingly, even though findings here reviewed provided preliminary evidence suggesting that MMPs could enhance cognitive functions, available evidence should be considered with caution and further high quality studies investigating more standardized mindfulness meditation programs are needed.

Some recent PubMed Abstracts (for independent review by audience) • Aging: Brain regions associated with attention, interoception and sensory processing were thicker in meditation participants than matched controls, including the prefrontal cortex and right anterior insula. Between-group differences in prefrontal cortical thickness were most pronounced in older participants, suggesting that meditation might offset age-related cortical thinning. Lazar et al. (2005). Meditation experience is associated with increased cortical thickness.

RESULTS: At 6 months, there were significant improvements in PTSD symptoms (standardized effect size, d = -0.64, p< 0.001); depression (d = -0.70, p<0.001); behavioral activation (d = 0.62, p<0.001); mental component summary score of the Short Form-8 (d = 0.72, p<0.001); acceptance (d = 0.67, p<0.001); and mindfulness (d = 0.78, p<0.001), and 47.7% of veterans had clinically significant improvements in PTSD symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: MBSR shows promise as an intervention for PTSD and warrants further study in randomized controlled trials. J Clin Psychol. 2012 Some recent PubMed Abstracts (for independent review by audience) Depression: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is currently ranked the third leading cause of disability in the world. Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) causes the majority of MDD's disability. Strikingly, 50% of individuals with MDD will fail to remit with two adequate trials of antidepressant medications, thus qualifying as treatment resistant. Current pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment strategies for TRD are limited in effectiveness so new interventions are needed. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is a new psychotherapeutic treatment with established efficacy in preventing relapse of depression for individuals in complete remission. MBCT is a group-based, 8-week intervention that uses mindfulness meditation as its core therapeutic technique. It teaches people to have a different relationship to depressive thoughts and feelings. Strategies are focused on decreasing rumination, enhancing self-compassion, increasing acceptance and decreasing avoidance. This modified version of MCBT, which includes the use of metaphor and adaptations of the original intervention will be discussed through the clinical case of a woman with long-standing TRD. A brief review of the current MBCT literature and future directions for the treatment of TRD are discussed. Eisendrath S, et al. 2011. Adapting Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression: A Clinical Case Study. Cogn Behav Pract. Anxiety. While cognitive behavior therapy has been found to be effective in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), a significant percentage of patients struggle with residual symptoms. There is some conceptual basis for suggesting that cultivation of mindfulness may be helpful for people with GAD. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is a group treatment derived from mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn and colleagues. MBSR uses training in mindfulness meditation as the core of the program. MBCT incorporates cognitive strategies and has been found effective in reducing relapse in patients with major depression (Teasdale, J. D., Segal, Z. V., Williams, J. M. G., Ridgeway, V., Soulsby, J., & Lau, M. (2000). Prevention of relapse/recurrence in major depression by mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 6, 615-623).METHOD: Eligible subjects recruited to a major academic medical center participated in the group MBCT course and completed measures of anxiety, worry, depressive symptoms, mood states and mindful awareness in everyday life at baseline and end of treatment.RESULTS: Eleven subjects (six female and five male) with a mean age of 49 (range=36-72) met criteria and completed the study. There were significant reductions in anxiety and depressive symptoms from baseline to end of treatment.CONCLUSION: MBCT may be an acceptable and potentially effective treatment for reducing anxiety and mood symptoms and increasing awareness of everyday experiences in patients with GAD. Future directions include development of a randomized clinical trial of MBCT for GAD. Evans et al 2008. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for generalized anxiety disorder.

A NUMBER of empty shotgun cartridges caused a security alert in Magherafelt at the weekend.
A police helicopher was called in after the cartridges were found in a bin at Union Road outside Bryson's Bar and Restaurant.
The four rounds were apparently dumped by an unthinking member of a local gun club, who left two pheasants and a partridge in the pub as a seasonal gesture before leaving the premises.
It is understood a member of the public came across the cartridges and alerted the police.
With the helicopher - costing an estimated £1,700 per hour - hovering above the police had wanted to evacuate the premises which was full of Christmas revellers.
However, the gun club members eventually returned to the scene and identified the cartridges bringing the alert to an end.
A PSNI spokesperson said a police patrol noted a suspicious object in a bin at Union Road shortly before midnight on Saturday.
"Enquiries were carried out and the object found to be nothing untoward. The scene was clear at 1am," said the spokesperson.

Rio Olympics: Ryan Lochte sticking to his story after accusation he fabricated robbery
Ryan Lochte fabricated a story about being robbed at gunpoint in Rio de Janeiro along with three team-mates, officials said - but they later acknowledged security guards had pointed guns at the swimmers.
"No robbery was committed against these athletes. They were not victims of the crimes they claimed," Civil Police chief Fernando Veloso said yesterday.
Lochte, along with fellow swimmers Jack Conger, Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Feigen, stopped at a petrol station. They had been celebrating the final night of swimming events.
A Brazilian police official said that two of the swimmers said Lochte had made the story up.
The official said the swimmers had broken a door, and a security guard came to investigate. Then, the manager demanded money. The swimmers paid and left.
Hours later, the official changed the story and said two security guards pointed guns. The change came after police interviewed a security guard.
Lochte's lawyer, Jeff Ostrow, has maintained that there is no question the robbery occurred.

Portstewart, Northern Ireland Britain's New Labour, despite criticism from Prime Minister Gordon Brown of a government that has grown too fast and costs too much, has been quietly planning a vast expansion of government. The Sunday Telegraph recently reported that the Economic Research Council, Britain's oldest think tank, has concluded that if the growth is allowed to happen, a huge superstate will be created that will cost overburdened taxpayers 170 billion pounds, which is equivalent to about $340 billion U.S. That is more than five times the amount of Britain's defense budget.
If any of the leading Democratic presidential candidates win the 2008 election, a similar superstate will come to America. The threat of such a government taxing at higher levels and regulating virtually every area of our lives in exchange for a promise to "take care" of us offers an opportunity for Republicans that will soon pass if not quickly seized.
It is fine for Republicans to speak of tax cuts, which indisputably have contributed to record economic growth, but a parallel issue for Republicans in 2008 should be a focus on out-of-control spending. America's puritanical "waste not, want not" heritage might yet stir enough of us to oppose needless spending if tied to an appeal for more personal responsibility and accountability for one's life. Eliminating, or at least reducing, wasteful spending weakens the Democrats' argument for tax increases. Even under Republican majority rule, including a Republican president, government has continued to grow.
Where to start? The always excellent chronicler of such things, Citizens Against Government Waste (www.cagw.org), offers a road map in its publication, "Prime Cuts 2007." CAGW estimates that if all of its 750 recommendations for cutting unnecessary and wasteful spending were enacted, taxpayers would save $280 billion next year and $2 trillion over five years. According to the CAGW, we send $1.1 trillion of our money annually to Washington (and more to state and local governments). Demanding responsible spending from elected officials might prove to be a winning issue.
Some programs have long outlived any usefulness they might have once demonstrated. Among them, the CAGW maintains, are the White House's National Youth Anti-drug Media Campaign (eliminating it would save $512 million over five years), sugar subsidies (saving $800 million over five years), and the Advanced Technology Program (saving $721 million over five years).
The Historic Whaling and Trading Partners program, ($45 million in savings over five years), and the Denali Commission ($35 million over five years) are two other programs recently added to the CAGW's list.
The Historic Whaling and Trading Partners program, says the CAGW, is charged with developing "culturally based educational activities, internships, apprentice programs, and exchanges to assist Alaska Natives, native Hawaiians, children and families living in Massachusetts, and certain Indian tribes in Mississippi. Projects in 2006 include the New Bedford Whaling Museum and the Peabody Essex Museum, both in Massachusetts, the Alaska Native Heritage Center, and the Bishop Museum in Hawaii." This is pork and in any case ought not to be a federal responsibility.
Democrats love it when Republicans focus only on cutting taxes, because it cedes to them the "fairness issue." Focusing on waste, fraud and abuse, which admittedly some Republicans have been guilty of in the recent past, could restore the GOP to its previous position as guardian of our pockets and purses against the overreaching hand and insatiable appetite of government. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, government never thinks it spends too little or taxes too much.
British Labour is way ahead of America in its plans to grow their government. Republican presidential candidates had better start speaking to America about the dangers in following their lead.

Urgent call for blood donations
The American Red Cross is urgently asking for blood donors after fewer donations than expected were received in June and the first week of July.
The organization is seeking all blood types, especially those with O negative, B negative and A negative blood.
"We are counting on generous volunteer blood and platelet donors to step up and give now," said Donna M. Morrissey, director of communications for the Red Cross Northeast Blood Services Division. "Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Each day donations come up short, less blood is available for these patients in need."
Nationwide, donations through the Red Cross were down approximately 10 percent in June, resulting in about 50,000 fewer donations than expected. The shortfall is similar to what the Red Cross experienced in June 2012.
Those interested in become a donor may call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information.

DATE March 21, 1939
National Biscuit Company Workers
The heat is terrible. The foreman was every five minutes hollering at us today, because we couldn't work fast. Our fingers were bleeding from the hot crackers that stick to the pans, and nearly everyone of us had to go for plaster to the nurse. One girl fainted in Building A. Spanish Mary got fired in spite of the busy season, because she danced the Tango during lunch hour — lifted up her skirts above her knees — the girls clapped and the men workers hollered. But the foreman, that old joy-killer, came in, and later we heard she got the air. We were so sad, this made us more sad than any sad story told by Shirley. Not even the joke about the Irish man and the Jewish-man could cheer us. Jewish Shirley and Irish Gertie got in an arguement. Shirley was telling about a funeral, how the husband of a woman died, how the widow fainted, how everybody cried and how the Rabbi prayed. Ha, ha, so the Rabbi prayed. Hmm. So it made you sad? How are you able to eat that sandwich, and a ham sandwich too, while you speak of a funeral and a Rabbi — you Jewish hypocrite. This is what Gertie said to Shirley. Pray! I never pray. When I want something, I pay for it,
We all looked at Gertie, and were waiting for the lightning
The friend of Shirley is Nelly, Cornelia, who works next to her on the machine, and she is always telling stories to her, confidentially, but in such a loud voice that all of us can listen. We like to hear Shirley talk — she is always talking in a sad voice even if it is a joke. But Gertie says she is a hypocrite, and whenever she is relating some very gloomy story and almost made us cry, Gertie says something mean, and spoils everything.
Shirley was telling Nellie about her girl friend. Nelly, listen to this, Nelly, I have a girl friend, this girl friend told this story which is a true story. This girl friend of mine has a boy friend, that boyfriend of my girlfriend has a sister and that sister of my girl friend's boy friend has also a boy friend.
So listen, what happened. So this did happen. That sister of my girlfriend's boyfriend was deeply in love. She fell in love with a fellow, too much. Young girl, foolish girl, eighteen years old, you can imagine. She was crazy over her lover. Crazy, I am telling you. So her brother spoke to his mother. Mother, Ella is deeply in love. So said his mother, What shall I do about it? Let her be in love, I was in love once alos, but not with your Father. But mother, this is a serious thing, she is deeply in love, I am afraid something will happen. So, said his mother, you think something will happen, well if something will happen I'll break her head, and her lover's too. But you are the brother, so you must watch your sister, that something shall not happen as long as she isn't married.
So the poor boy was very sad. Imagine, a brother should watch a sister! that something that hs to happen shall not happen. So he was very sad. He came to his sweetheart (my girlfriend) and told her. Listen, Ella is deeply in love, I am afraid something will happen to her. Mother is also worried, so please watch her and try to be near her when she is together with that sheik.
So my girlfriend promised to watch over her lover's sister that nothing should happen. Try to watch a girl, a young girl. So what happened? Well, my girlfriend was everywhere, with Ella. She went with them to movies, to the Chinks, to the park. Wherever Ella went, my girlfriend was after them. Believe me she had some hard time!
One day Ella came to my girlfriend's mother, and began to complain. Mrs. Smith, said Ella, I don't feel well. What's the matter my child? asked she. I lost my appetite, I an never hungry, I feel disgusted at everything. Well, you must go home Ella, and consult a doctor, go to your mother and tell her you sick. My, Ella got white like
We began to rear from laughter, but Gertie said, that's nothing so new, a bastard is born every minute, it'll be your turn too, Shirley look she's getting fat like horse.
Shirley ignored Gertie and said, in a sad voice, I am telling you, no use watching a young [girl?] when she wants to do something. Nothing can stop her. My girlfriend watched. By god, how she watched over her.
This afternoon, we received our little, but well deserved wages, $14. Again to the machine to pick up the hot crackers, sweating and quarrelling as usual with the men workers because they put too much work on, and before we get our wages, the foreman is always snooping around telling us to work faster or we will get canned today. Gertie was cursing, she said she would spit in the jaw of the foreman next time he said something to her. Shirley was talking as usual to Nellie in a sad but calm voice. Nelly, I have a girlfriend (believe me, it pays to be honest) Hmm, pays to be honest. Like hell! said Gerties. This friend of mine was a poor girl, continued Shirley, she was an orphan, she had no parents, and yet she was honest. So what do you think happened? She married a millionaire, we all said. Far from that, Shirley said, but she did get married, honesty pays! she married a truck driver. Gertie said, If that's the reward for honesty, the hell with honesty. You heard of Peaches? she said to Shirley. What a question, of course I did. Who didn't/ Was Peaches honest? said Gertie. I should say she wasn't! Did she marry a truck driver? No, she married Daddy Browning, the millionaire, that crazy old he-goat. Well, triumphantly said Gertie, now you see whether it pays to be honest. An honest girl marries a truck driver. A whore marries Browning, divorces him for money, and gets rich. I never heard that a poor man got rich from being honest. But a dishonest person, though poor, has always luck. For example, Ford, Rockefeller, or other such rascals. Everybody thinks they got rich from work. But, hell, they got rich from cheating. Now all the papers write of them, and after they die, they'll have some funeral. An honest man goes on living, suffering, and when he drops dead, not a dog
Oh, you are always bellyaching, Shirley said, and she turned to Nellie and started talking. And this is what Shirley said only to Nellie, but so loud that all hand the luck to hear it. Listen, Nellie, did I tell you yet about my boyfriend? No. Shirley, you told me nothing about him. You know I have a boyfriend, Shirley said. This sounds interesting, said I to German Erna, but Erna asked me to keep quite because she wanted to hear the story.
So my boyfriend after I know him for a few weeks, gave me a friendship ring. A diamond ring. Bought for ten cents in Woolworths, interrupted Gertie. So I wore the ring every day. Did I show it to you, Nellie? Well it was a beautiful ring. The other day I look at my finger, and want to see my ring. What you think, the ring disappeared. The ring wasn't there. My heart jumped, I almost fainted. You know, the ring of my boyfriend. I didn't mind the money. Gertie! I bet your boyfriend forgot to pay for it. I didn't mind the money, although it costed him $50. I should live, so it did. He showed me the bill. But to lose a ring has a meaning. So I had a foreboding, some misfortune happened. I was so scared, I am telling you, I didn't know what to do. So I went to the foreman. So I said to the foreman, Mr. Hick, I lost a ring. That's too bad said Mr. Hick. Yes, I said, and the ring was a present. Is that so? said again Mr. Hick. It was the gift of my boyfriend, I said. Mr. Hick, said, that's still worse. So I told him, I lost the ring in the factory. Mr. Hick promised to make an investigation and try to find out who found or stole the ring. I went home, I couldn't sleep all night. I knew something will happen to my boyfriend. Next day while I was on my relief, the forelady
We looked at Shirley, and two big tears rolled down on her face. Erna tried to console her, but Shirley said with a melancholy smile, I need not your sympathy, my dear. We all felt sorry for Shirley, only Gertie kept on laughing, she laughed even at such a sad story. Shirley turned to Nelly and said, Nellie have you a sandwich left from lunch, I am so hungry. Nelly took out a sandwich which shirley devoured with a sad face. We didn't know whether to laugh or wonder. Because it is strange that a girl after relating a tale that her lover broke his foot, should eat with such good appetite. Gertie couldn't stand any longer Shirley's sadness and began to quarrel with her. So you have a boyfriend. Well, be careful that something shall not happen. What? said Shirley. I mean
Shame yourself! said Shirley. But that's your business, said Gertie, you have the right to do as you please. But what bothers me is how in hell are you able to eat after such sad event a sandwich. Why, said Shirley, my stomach has nothing to do with my heart. Ridiculous, you don't want me to lose my appetite because my boyfriend broke his foot/
It seems to me, said German Erna, the more sad you are, the more you eat. Be happy Shirley, otherwise you'll get too fat.
Gertie lauged. What, fat? Look at that shape! She is already fat like a horse.

Black with Multi-color Taglia Backlit Print Miniskirt
Shipping Included
This item has original tags and shows no visible signs of wear.
Minimarket is a hot and current Sweedish brand --check out the matching jacket: http://www.minimarket.se/store/store_aw12_sale/blazer-lex-backlit_-print
This "backlit print", which is inspired by distant, blurry lights, is a neoprene fabric and is gorgeous, sexy, yet incredibly durable (doesn't wrinkle--perfect for travel or long meetings)---because it's neoprene! The shape of the skirt has a beautiful silhouette--very flattering and a very slight flare at the bottom--hardly noticeable but let's you walk more comfortably and accentuates your shape. The piping on the front is made of black patent leather--so cool and the sinewy line really exaggerates a sexy shape--the photo of the model shows how flattering the piping is. The model in the photo is quite tall, so the length looks "mini" on her but I'm 5'3 and it hits me just above the knee---PERFECT length for business or play.
Minimarket is a contemporary women's wear label, founded in Stockholm in 2006 by a trio of creative sisters. The twin sisters Jennifer and Pernilla Elvestedt would occasionally skip school to work in their sister Sofie's diminutive clothing shop 'Minimarket' in the city's south district - Sdermalm. The siblings adopted the name for their burgeoning fashion label before they closed the shop to concentrate on expanding their brand.

I'm afraid the former is more complicated because there are many hidden indirect calls via function pointers in bus_dma structures/macro among machine/bus dependent implementation. - Most (all?) bus_dmamap_destroy() implementation leaves dmamap pointer and you can't use NULL check to see if the dmamap is vaild in that case.

The NHL's department of player safety suspended Toronto Maple Leafs forward Leo Komarov for three games Friday for elbowing New York Rangers defenceman Ryan McDonagh in the head.
Komarov blindsided McDonagh with a chicken wing at 18:58 of the first period during New York's win Thursday at Air Canada Centre. He was given a match penalty for illegal check to the head. Watch the play above.
The captain remained on the Rangers bench until the end of the period and then left due to precautionary reasons.
"My game is physical, and things like this happen. It's hockey," Komarov said Friday. "I'm not trying to hurt people."
Komarov said he had not yet reached out to McDonagh, with whom he shared a dressing room a few weeks ago at the All-Star Game.
McDonagh recently missed four games due to a concussion suffered when he was sucker-punched by Wayne Simmonds. Simmonds was not called for a hearing, which incensed Rangers coach Alain Vigneault.
Based on his average annual salary, Komarov will forfeit $47,580.66 as a result of the suspension. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.

CCTV CAPTURES COPS BEATING STAB VICTIM; Force Launches Professional Standards Probe
Byline: JOHN SUTTON
A STAB victim is suing Merseyside Police claiming he was beaten by bobbies as he lay bleeding in a city park.
Video footage shows the officers repeatedly punch Darren Grace with their fists as he was restrained on the grass in Stanley Park.
Today Merseyside Police accused the Anfield joiner of being violent towards the officers adding "CCTV images can never show the whole story".
After being shown the tape by the ECHO, the force voluntarily referred the incident to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
But the watchdog said it was happy for Merseyside Police to conduct its own investigation and it is now the subject of a Professional Standards Department probe.
Mr Grace has not lodged a formal complaint with Merseyside Police and will not co-operate with the internal inquiry saying he has no confidence in the force.
The 31-year-old, of Manningham Road, was initially charged with two counts of assaulting a police officer - charges which were eventually dropped when Crown Prosecution Service lawyers saw the tape and realised there wasn't enough evidence "to provide a realistic prospect of a conviction".
Today Mr Grace told the ECHO how he staggered disorientated into Stanley Park in the early hours of Sunday, August 1 after being knifed in the head during a party at a friend's house.
He said: "I was round at a friend's house and then some more people came round and one of them went for me with a knife. He got me in the head and it was bleeding. I was confused and just wanted to get out."
Mr Grace was found by the officers in Stanley Park lying down with blood gushing from his head. The footage, from a camera operated by Liverpool City Council's Citywatch scheme, shows the three officers - two men and a woman - apparently trying to help Mr Grace who appears confused and slightly agitated.
One of the officers goes to get a first aid kit to treat the gash.
But as Mr Grace seems to try to resist treatment one officer rains down a volley of eight punches onto his injured head - the woman police officer puts her hand on his arm.
Five minutes later, just before 8am, both she and the other officer appear to punch Mr Grace in the head and back as he lies face down on the ground.
A few minutes later nine more police officers, and then an ambulance crew, arrive on the scene and Mr Grace is handcuffed and led away.
After receiving basic treatment Mr Grace was held in a cell at the St Anne's Street station and spent 11 hours in custody.
He said: "I remember waking up in the cell with my face covered in blood, my head throbbing. …

Chilean Miner Continues To Inspire At The NYC Marathon
Have you ever tried to train for a competitive race? I ran the Buffalo Half Marathon last May and started training 5 months prior. And then when I ran it, I still felt incredibly unprepared for the 13.1 miles I had to get through. That makes this story even more incredible.

I have the following query that gives me an extract (I am putting this into a CSV from my cube).
I want to show the Total of all NRx in a column as the first column NRx and the rest of the NRx columns should come up as they do now. I tried to add a SUM (Measures.NRx) to this, but it did not work
How do I get a total NRx column?

A total column is basically one that is against the 'All' level of the various dimensions you're slicing by.
So, if you're wanting the total against all dates (but still split up by all the other things you have on the rows), try:

Garments Edit
If there's no reference to using a needle for sewing in an episode, should we really include that definition? -- Renegade54 16:58, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- I was going off of McCoy's comment about sewing flesh like garments. I figured that suggesting the sewing of fabric was a logical extrapolation from that comment. -- Sulfur 22:37, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, after I reread that quote, I saw it really has references to both definitions. Sorry! -- Renegade54 00:14, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- No worries. It just proves my theory that you can't actually read. :) -- Sulfur 00:26, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
So who reads? I let the computer read it to me. I just need a new battery in my hearing aid is all... :P -- Renegade54 01:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Split suggestion Edit
Split into hypodermic needle and sewing needle. The former is used to inject or remove liquid and is hollow; the latter is used to attach objects while sewing. Different objects. --LauraCC (talk) 17:56, September 21, 2015 (UTC)
- Aren't there a lot of references to just a "needle" to make this otherwise clear issue a lot more muddled? -- Capricorn (talk) 03:54, September 22, 2015 (UTC)
Well, the ones that mention thread or stitching are the sewing or suturing needles. The ones that give injections are hypodermics. --LauraCC (talk) 17:23, September 22, 2015 (UTC)
- I think your explanation is clear but what Capricorn perhaps said is that many references said on screen/typed in one of the scripts are going to "needle". Personally I think both types can stay in one article and we can make sections for both in the article. The article itself isn't that long and if I remember correctly neither "hypodermic needle" nor "seeqing needle" are terms ever mentioned that way. Tom (talk) 18:24, September 22, 2015 (UTC)
Okay, so something like this:
- Uses
- Sewing/suturing
blah blah blah
- Hypodermic
blah blah blah --LauraCC (talk) 18:30, September 22, 2015 (UTC)
