Florida A&M University Licensing
Why have a licensing program?
The University's licensing program provides Florida A&M University brand management over its logos and trademarks, thus, ensuring the quality and consistency of all of the University's merchandise. It also enables the University to generate revenue from the sale of merchandise bearing its logos and marks. The revenue is used to support and enhance academic support of the athletics programs. Outside of the University, the trademark licensing program creates a cooperative and positive working relationship with the manufacturers, licensees and retailers who work with the University.
What qualifies as a trademark?
Any mark, logo, symbol, nickname, letter(s), word(s) or combination of these that can be associated with Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University qualifies as a trademark.
What products can be licensed?
Students, alumni and fans generate many great ideas for new University products. Products will be considered and must be approved by the University's Licensing Director. No products will be licensed without the approval of the Licensing Director. This ensures all products associated with the University are of high quality and good taste and, ensures the non-approval of potentially hazardous items.
Who needs a license?
Anyone wishing to use the marks, logos and symbols of Florida A&M University must obtain a license.
What if you do not get a license?
All products must be approved by the University's Trademark Licensing office. Failure to obtain a license or approval from the University's Trademark Licensing Office would be grounds for the seizure of all non-approved merchandise bearing the University's marks. It also could result in jail time and numerous fines if convicted.
Can an alumni or student group sell products using the University's marks as a fundraiser?
Yes, but before contacting local manufacturers regarding new products, designs, or an idea for a fundraiser, be sure to check with the University's Trademark Licensing Office. They will be able to identify local manufacturers to produce the items, saving everyone time and effort.
What about using the University's name or logo on a web site?
Every use of the University's trademarks requires permission from the Trademark Licensing Office. The internet has made it easy for alumni, fans and supporters to build web pages with the Florida A&M University name and logos, and the University appreciates this support. However, federal trademark laws require that the University control it's name and marks; therefore, the University must be very selective in granting permission in these and all instances. For more information, contact the University's Trademark Licensing Office.
Who is responsible for the program?
The person responsible for the Trademark Licensing Program at Florida A&M University is:
Angela Adams Suggs
Senior Associate Athletics Director for External Affairs/SWA
Florida A&M University Athletics Department
1835 Wahnish Way
Tallahassee, FL 32307
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
How can you obtain a license application?
Anyone who wishes to obtain a license to produce merchandise must submit a licensing application. This application informs the University of how its marks will be used, what type of product the applicant makes, how the University is going to be represented, etc. Applications can be obtained by contacting:
The Collegiate Licensing Company
290 Interstate North, Suite 200
Atlanta, GA 30339
(770) 956-0520 or (770) 955-4491 Fax
Website: www.clc.com
What is the Collegiate Licensing Company?
The Collegiate Licensing Company is the licensing representative for Florida A&M University. As the University's representative, CLC is responsible for administering the licensing program, including processing applications, collecting royalties, enforcing trademarks and pursuing new market opportunities for the University.
Who is licensed with the University?
Either the University's Trademark Licensing office or CLC can provide a list of current licensees for the University's merchandise. It is typically much easier to work with an established University licensee than to try and license a new product or idea. Both the University and CLC can provide you with information on the products produced by all licensees so you can match your needs with the right company.
The "Officially Licensed Collegiate Products" label signifies merchandise has passed the standards of quality set forth by the University and a portion of the purchase is returned to the University.
What are the University's trademarks?
The University's trademarks are any of the logos, marks, symbols, nicknames, letter(s) or word(s). Any design that could cause public confusion due to similarity to the trademarks appearing on this page is an infringement on the University's trademark rights.

Decorating your living room seaside style is one way to bring summer to your home. Here are inspiring photos of some of the beautiful coastal homes.
|photo from Lonny
Coastal inspired interiors mostly have a light and neutral color palette with accents of blue, sea green, or coral. Some of the furniture are made of rattan or bamboo.
|photo from Coast Furniture and Interiors
These rooms are accessorized with natural objects found at the beach. The seashells on glass bowls, sculptural coral skeleton and grasscloth rugs create a relaxed vibe in the room.
|photo from Lonny
My favorite coastal design in particular is the residential home in Laguna Beach designed by Darci Goodman. The mixing of patterns and bright colors work perfectly for this house.

Rosella was our lotus birth baby. We had considered the idea with Kaelan, and I had even prepared a beautiful silk bag, with a lotus painted on it, to keep his placenta in. We had bought the salt and had everything ready … but still we had reservations about it. I was still having issues getting over the 'ick' factor. As it happened, Kaelan was born by emergency cesarean and so the decision about whether to lotus birth or not was made for us. There was no way our hospital would consider such an option, and the nurses were baffled by our request to take Kaelan's placenta home with us for burial. It was referred to as 'dead meat' and handed to us in a white bucket with the instructions: Get rid of it today. I appreciate the fact that they didn't want an organ sitting in a bucket of blood in the maternity ward. Neither did we and so David took it home and froze it as soon as he could. Later (almost 2 years later in fact!) it was planted under an avocado tree that had been gifted to Kaelan.
Lotus Birth is the name given to a process of placenta-care after the completion of a baby's birth. The umbilical cord is not cut, and the placenta is allowed to remain attached to the baby until it detaches of its own accord.
This is a good question – there are benefits to leaving the cord attached to the baby for longer, as it allows the baby to receive the full compliment of blood and nutrients that are stored within the placenta. This can be acheived without a lotus birth, just by letting enough time for this process to be competed before cutting the cord. It isn't necessary to leave the cord attached after these nurtrients have journeyed across to the infant.
So the whole affair of having to drain and clean the placenta, then dry it and salt it and care for it, as well as the baby, until it detaches seems like a messy business, and one that most people wouldn't want to be bothered with after the messy business of birth.
To be honest, I can't tell you exactly WHY we did it. There was nothing scientific involved. It just felt right, and in the end, after Rosella's birth it wasn't even a conscious decision at all. The placenta felt like a part of Rosella … and it wasn't gross at all. It was beautiful. The opportunity to examine a placenta doesn't arise very often, so if you do get the chance then take it! Our midwife talked us through how it was made up. She took off the sack that Rosella had been tucked inside for so long…and it was the softest thing I have ever felt in my life. I wouldn't mind being wrapped up in that!
Our midwife showed us the veins on the placenta, the 'Tree of Life' pattern was clearly visible. We looked at where it had been attached to my womb. Kaelan was three and a half years of age and was very fascinated by this organ. We told him it had been Rosella's little pillow when she was inside me, and from then on, it that was what it was known as.
Rosella's placenta was drained through a colander into a bowl. When this process was finished it was patted dry and rubbed with coarse sea salt and powdered rosemary. Then it was allowed to dry naturally in the air, only lightly covered with a muslin cloth. At night time we wrapped it up in a few towels, and a plastic bag, tucked it into the placenta bag and put it next to Rosella.
The cord dries stiff, and it is interesting how quickly it really dries out! So this means you need to be careful about how you position the cord when it is drying so that you can easily move the placenta about when you are changing or dressing baby. I believe you can soak the cord in water for a while to soften and reposition it when it is drying, but we didn't need to do this for Rosella. It was as if she had a little swivel attached to her belly button and we managed ok.
Only at one point, around about day 3, did we begin smelling something unpleasant. We had been changing the salt and rosemary on the placenta each day so it wasn't coming from there at all, but instead from her belly button. In infection in the belly button could lead to a fever, but our midwife checked it and treated it with pure lavender oil before it reached that point, and by the end of the day the odour was gone and there was no infection at all.
It wasn't so bad for us. No trouble at all really. We had already told family and friends about our plans to do this, and I had a few friends who already had successful lotus births so I was confident we would manage. Not everyone understood why we would consider such a decision, and that is fair enough, sometimes things are just difficult to explain. Matters of spirit. But those who were sceptical of the idea kept quiet and just observed, and we were grateful for the space we were given to explore the peaceful potentials of Rosella's birth.
Having the placenta attached to the baby meant, for us, that Rosella was disturbed as little as possible. She lay with me, peacefully, on the bed and was only picked up or moved when she was being changed or dressed. Yes, it was a little bit awkward sometimes, especially when trying to find a comfortable position to breastfeed, but this was not an insurmountable problem. We generally kept the placenta only lightly covered, to speed the drying process, but we used the placenta bag when visitors came. They never even noticed, as often the placenta was wrapped up with Rosella in a muslin cloth anyway, and we were not encouraging our visitors to pick her up and cuddle her in her first few days in any case. Plenty of time for cuddles.
The placenta detached of its own accord about 9am on the 4th morning. Rosella had been holding on to it in her little hands for about half an hour before hand. The whole time since her birth she had not cried. She had cooed and gurgled peacefully, but never uttered a cry until the day her cord came off, and even then it was a pathetic little cry!
I am aware that there are many people who have reason to be grateful for the amazing properties of cord blood. It is like no other blood and is only found in infants, whose bodies and internal organs are still undeveloped. It is a decision that has to be made – allow other people to benefit from this blood, and help them recover from a life-threatening illness, or allow my own baby to use this blood to become the healthy person they need to be.
Yes I would, and I plan to. Our next baby is due in July, a nice cool month to do lotus birth! Our experience with lotus birth was calming and peaceful for everyone. I did not need scientific reasoning to justify the decision. Matters of spirit don't require justification by facts when you know in your heart what is real. Sure, there is no real reason to do a lotus birth, but neither is there a reason NOT to. If the placenta is properly attended to, and your midwife is observing the process attentively to guard against any possible forms of infection, there is no risk whatsoever. Absolutely I would do it again.

I know that placenta is a sacred thing... I do understand the nurturing capacity of the placenta but I still find this lotus birth very weird.... This is just as weird as when mothers eat their own placenta either raw mixed in smoothies or dried...
How refreshing and informative! congratulations to these mothers and fathers who are certainly challenging the age old ways of bringing babies into the world,it makes sense to keep things simple if you can, obviously not the easiest way but the outcomes seem very positive for the whole family.

It's been alleged that parents are using school decile ratings as a measure of the quality of the education the institution provides. In fact, it's more likely the parents are interpreting the decile rating as an indicator of the socio-economic profile of the parents whose children attend the school.
Decile ratings are calculated by taking the home addresses of the students at the school and analysing the relevant mesh-block's Census data for households with school-aged children. Five socio-economic factors are taken into account: income, occupation, household crowding, educational qualifications and whether income support is received.
"Decile 1 schools are the 10% of schools with the highest proportion of students from low socio-economic communities, whereas decile 10 schools are the 10% of schools with the lowest proportion of these students," explains the Ministry of Education's website.
Decile ratings were devised as a tool to enable schools in poorer areas to be allocated more government funding than schools whose students hail from wealthier areas. Regardless of its core purpose, it was naive to then expect that parents wouldn't use the information to draw their own conclusions.
And charities can't campaign to get breakfast programmes into low decile schools without simultaneously making those schools look disadvantaged and therefore unappealing to some people. A Child Poverty Action Group spokesman said: "Every school day across New Zealand there are thousands of children going to school without breakfast... children aren't to blame for their situation, and neither are their teachers and classmates who often have to deal with unfocused and sometimes disruptive children as a result of missed breakfasts."
It's understandable then that some parents may be inclined to choose a higher decile school so their child is surrounded by motivated learners rather than those likely to fall through the cracks in our education system. Simple logic tells us that your son or daughter is more likely to be sitting next to a child who is hungry or tired or otherwise lacking focus at a decile one school rather than a decile ten school. Decile ratings have encouraged parents to play the odds and try to maximise learning opportunities for their offspring.
A private school, of course, is simply a decile ten school on steroids. The unspoken belief is that in sending your child to a private school you are buying a degree of protection from some of life's harsh realities. It would be fair to assume that children at private schools will be well fed, well rested and ready to learn each day in class - rather than poised to distract your own child from his or her education.
Similarly you'd assume that should a student at a private school develop potentially disruptive behavioural issues or learning difficulties that require professional attention, the appropriate help would swiftly be sought by well resourced parents - in a way that may be unattainable for families perhaps consumed with holding down multiple shift-work jobs and struggling to put food on the table.
Such cost-benefit equations apply to all sorts of service industries, not just education. Those who fly first class and stay at five star hotels are not buying anything as straightforward as just an airfare or accommodation; they're effectively insulating themselves from the petty inconveniences and lack of comfort associated with economy class and tourist grade lodgings. They're paying to ensure the removal of what can be categorised as the undesirable elements of the experience. They're paying for the privilege of not being squashed into an overfilled rear cabin or having to stay in a room in urgent need of a visit from television's hotel inspector.
Presumably the same sort of logic applies at private schools. Parents are paying to ensure their child is educated alongside motivated, like-minded peers whose behavioural issues are stamped out immediately rather than allowed to spiral out of control and negatively impact on classmates.
Yet private schools aren't foolproof. By all accounts you just might find yourself rubbing shoulders with people of dubious merit at some of these fine learning institutions. A friend of mine once said about private schools: "At least you know your child won't be sitting next to a kid whose father is a small-time dealer of illegal drugs. At private schools the other kid's dad is much more likely to be the one in charge - the drug-lord who controls the whole network." I think she was joking.
What are your thoughts on decile ratings? Have you used them to influence your opinion about a particular school? And what about private schools? Are they a great investment in your child's future or a complete waste of money?

I know I shouldn't be.....I've lost almost 25 pounds since the end of September and I've worked out in some capacity 5 days a week almost every week since I've started. But it really sucks that I've been working SO hard, using will power that I never thought I had, dropping 1 size in pants and almost 2 sizes in shirts and my body looks the same in pictures. I can only assume I look the same in real life.
I can tell a difference, my husband SAYS he can tell a difference but I'm pretty sure no one else can. I know it shouldn't matter if anyone else can tell or knows how much I've lost (that is part of the reason I didn't tell anyone I've made these life changes) but it still makes me wonder if it is worth it. Should I keep going if I don't look as good as I feel when the camera flashes?

carp, hardy freshwater fish, Cyprinus carpio, the largest member of the minnow family; it is also known as the common carp. A native of Black, Caspian, and Aral sea basins of Eurasia, the carp has been introduced widely elsewhere in the world and has become so well established that it is called the English sparrow of the fishes. Many variations in color and form have developed. Carp have four barbels (
whiskers) around the mouth and are usually dark greenish or brown (occasionally yellowish or silvery), with red on some of the fins. Most carp are scaled, although the mirror carp variant has only a few scattered scales and the leather carp has none. Carp may reach a length of 3 ft (91 cm) and a weight of 25 lbs (11.3 kg). They are bottom feeders, eating chiefly aquatic plants but also insects and small animals; their habit of rooting in the mud often makes the water unfit for the feeding and spawning of other fish. However, they are valued commercially as food fish, especially in Europe, where they are sometimes bred and raised for this purpose. Ornamental varieties are bred in Japan. See also Asian carp . The common carp are classified in the phylum Chordata , class Actinopterygii, order Cypriniformes, family Cyprinidae.

Former three-term New York City Mayor Ed Koch is going to have heart surgery at a Manhattan hospital.
Spokesman George Arzt says the 84-year-old Koch had a coronary angioplasty procedure on Monday to increase the blood flow to his heart but the procedure was not successful.
He says Koch has decided to remain at New York Presbyterian Hospital and will undergo surgery to replace his aortic heart valve sometime later this week or early next week.
Koch had suffered a heart attack in 1999. He served as mayor of New York City from 1977 to 1989.
His spokesman says Koch has joked to friends that "this is one hospital where the food is good."

MIAMI, May 8 (UPI) -- Ray Allen led Miami with 21 points in 19 minutes Wednesday and the Heat rolled to an ill-tempered, 115-78 rout of Chicago that tied their playoff series.
Six technical fouls were called on the Bulls, including two each on Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson. The second technical foul on each player came early in the fourth quarter, resulting in their ejection from the contest.
Despite the one-sided setback, the Bulls head home with the Eastern Conference semifinal series deadlocked at 1-1. Chicago pulled off an unexpected 93-86 victory in the opening game of the series and will host the next two contests Friday and Monday.
Miami shot 60 percent from the field and made 9-of-18 from 3-point range.
LeBron James added 19 points with nine assists and, with the game having turned into a blowout, he sat out for about a third of the contest. Dwyane Wade and Norris Cole both had 15 points for the Heat.
Miami held the Bulls to 35 percent shooting and forced 19 turnovers.
Marco Belinelli led Chicago with 13 points. Noah had 12 before his ejection.

Kevin Heffernan and Steve Lemme are 'Fat Man Little Boy' [INTERVIEW]
Broken Lizard have performed together for over twenty years. First in college, at Colgate University, then in successful feature films like 'Super Troopers', 'BeerFest' and 'Club Dread' and on a massive comedy tour.
The troupe has been together a long time.
"You don't have any new hair holes." remarked Lizard member Steve Lemme to Kevin Heffernan while we discussed their latest project 'Fat Man Little Boy.'
Heffernan mentioned the possibility of a 'Super Troopers 2' in the coming months and how he'd have to start growing out his mustache now. He'd had some trouble the first time around but thought maybe the maturation process of life would make lip hair easier to grow this time around. "Maybe I've got more hair holes," he commented, a notion Lemme quickly shot down.
"I'd know. I would have noticed," Lemme quipped.
Lemme would have noticed based on the amount of time the two spent together in preparation for their new comedy special which hits Netflix today. Lemme and Heffernan have worked together and lived together so doing a comedy special together seemed like the natural next step.
'Fat Man Little Boy' is the name of your special, but is also a reference to the bombs detonated over Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Does this mean your comedy is dangerous for Japanese people?
Kevin: We were more concerned that people would say our comedy bombed.
Steve: Fat Man and Little Boy was our nickname in college whenever the two of us were together. The idea for the special came from touring live with the rest of Broken Lizard. We got our start in sketch comedy but after the tour, Kevin and I had such a good time doing it live, we decided to start touring together.
Kevin: Many of the stand-up specials you see now are in big theater type venues but we wanted to do something in a smaller club atmosphere. We shot it at The Punchline in San Francisco, a very famous old club, but very small and intimate.
Did you every want to do solo set or have you always wanted to work together?
Kevin: Our show is a little of both actually – each of us takes some time and does a solo set and then we have material that we do together.
Broken Lizard is five guys and now it's the two of you so is there a certain comfort to working with a partner(s)?
Steve: In the early portion of the career, when you're suffering, it's great because you've got four other guys to commiserate with. It's always easier to have someone understanding exactly what you're going through. Stand-up is tough because you're always up there on your own. Also, on the road, you tend to be alone more. Stand-ups also tend to travel alone. The good thing about working with a partner is not just travelling together but going to the hotel after the show and continuing our routine.
Do you get big crowds in your hotel rooms?
Steve: Standing room only.
The special Fat Man Little Boy is available exclusively on NetFlix starting today correct?
Kevin: Right. It will eventually be available on DVD but for now it's only on Netflix.
Comedy is usually broken into two groups – stand-up and sketch and many feel it's hard to be successful at both. Do you feel that's true?
Kevin: I think there is some truth to that idea. Stand-up comedy is a very different muscle. It's something Steve and I didn't do when we were younger. We did sketch and then made the move into movies but it was stand-up was something we always wanted to do. It's such a different exercise. It's a different culture and whole new world. It was one of the other reasons we wanted to do the special. We don't get recognized for doing stand-up. We've been doing it for four years and we're eager to show people another side.
Steve: In terms of how we compare to other stand-ups, we're still kind of beginners. For example, hecklers, is something completely new to us. We've never dealt with hecklers before were as other guys our age have been dealing with hecklers for over fifteen years. They know how to handle hecklers. Our hecklers just shout out lines from movies. We spend the first 15 minutes at our shows just listening to people screaming movie lines at us.
Is that usually what fans expect when they come to your shows? The two of you dressed as Farva and Mac doing lines from 'Super Troopers'?
Kevin: Well, in defense of the fans, for the Broken Lizard tour we did come out in costume and do scenes and characters from the movies. In this special, we touch on the movies but it's more behind the scenes stories and some of the stuff that happened when making the movies. One of the parts things we enjoyed about this tour was getting to interact with fans.
The other guys from Broken Lizard are absent from the special so we're just going to assume you guys ate them. If you did have to eat, which of the guys would be most delicious?
Steve: I think it's pretty obvious it would be the brown guy.
Kevin: He's probably a little spicy. He's got a little Indian in him.
Steve: That's interesting you imagine him tasting that way Kevin. I was under the impression he'd have more of a mocha latte kind of taste. One thing Kevin and I would probably agree on is that we'd pass on eating the two white guys. They'd probably just taste like milk. Especially after a little taste of the chocolate thunder. They would taste pretty bland.
We have to ask – will there be a 'Super Troopers' sequel?
Kevin: There will be a Super Troopers sequel. We put it off for a while and then came back to it. We wrote the script and handed in to Fox and now we're just negotiating the time and the place and hopefully shoot it some time this year. I have to start growing my mustache now.
How long does that process take?
Kevin: Oh man. I have about eight hair holes above my mouth. I have to start growing now and they have to patch in the rest.
Steve: No one will notice he has facial hair for months. For the first half a year people will just think his face is a little dirty.
Kevin: Who knows, maybe I've matured since the last movie. Maybe I've got more hair holes.
Steve: You don't have any new hair holes. I'd know. I would have noticed.
'Fat Man Little Boy' is available now on Netflix streaming. Check out Kevin Heffernan and Steve Lemme's website for touring information.

When I was in high school, part of our gym test was to climb a heavy rope suspended from the ceiling. Our grade was the amount of time it took to climb up and down the rope.
I got the symbol for infinity.
After this and other humiliating gym experiences (e.g., dangling from the chin-up bar like a side of beef while my classmates laughed and yelled "queer"), I always found solace at Murkens Ice Cream Parlor with a Banana Royale -- a delicious confection consisting of a whole banana, three scoops of ice cream, walnuts in syrup, chocolate sauce, real whipped cream, cherries, and sprinkles -- all for 55 cents.
Later in life needless to say the idea of joining a gym never held much allure. It was not until I was 30 and saw what time and gravity was doing to my body that I realized something had to change. Again and again, I would plan exercise programs that never happened, and purchase exercise magazines, books, and videos that collected dust until I finally threw them away. My best excuse was "I can't go into a gym looking like this!"
Finally, something snapped. I realized that joining a gym cost less than buying a whole new wardrobe in yet another, larger size. I joined the YMCA, lost weight, firmed up and became addicted to exercise. I tried desperately to make up for all those years of inactivity and Banana Royalties in just a few short months. Lack of training, doing too much too soon, and ignoring small injuries (no pain, no gain) resulted in a back injury that put an end to exercising for a long time. I looked around for something else and found yoga (no pain, no pain). It changed my life.
Move Your Body, Improve Your Mind
When I was able to exercise again, I made a deal with myself: do nothing extreme. All I had to do to start was one push-up and one crunch a day. Let me tell you the hardest push-up you will ever do is the first one. Today, I practice yoga and meditation daily, exercise moderately, eat almost anything I want and, at forty-something, feel better about myself than ever before. Exercising and doing yoga on a regular basis has brought great joy to my life. I am able to eat more and make healthier choices about food selection, which brings us to the point of this article: what to eat to sustain an exercise program. Usually, when we look at any issue involving food, nutrition, and HIV, there is a vast spectrum of opinions to consider. Surprisingly, eating and exercise is one area where everyone seems to agree.
Exercise is essential because it helps to create and maintain lean body mass (muscles) that serve as a buffer against any illness (HIV-related or not) when you do not eat enough and the body is forced to feed off itself. Exercise can take many forms: aerobic, weight bearing, dance, yoga, etc., but weight bearing is the type most recommended for people living with HIV (PLWHIV). Many PLWHIV have high metabolic rates that increase with aerobic exercise. If you enjoy aerobic exercise, make sure you are eating enough carbohydrate and fat calories; if not, your body will burn protein (muscles) as fuel, you will lose muscle mass and defeat the purpose of exercising. Exercise is a vital component of any health management plan one that may also include medical treatments and/or alternative therapies, emotional and spiritual support, and proper nutrition. Defining proper nutrition is usually where consensus breaks down; yet everyone from sports and HIV nutrition specialists to personal trainers and the big guys at the gym agree that carbohydrates are the key ingredient. The body transforms carbohydrates into glycogen that the body burns to create the energy we need to sustain physical activity.
I Don't Know Where Or When
The question people ask most after "What should I eat?" is "When should I eat it?" Here consensus is a little less consistent. Not because people have strong and varying opinions but because absolutely everyone I talked to when researching this article faced the same challenge: fitting an exercise program into a busy schedule. Fitting in an eating schedule was just too much for most people. (One friend brings two clean potatoes to work, microwaves them in the late afternoon, and then goes to his gym straight from work.)
When we begin eating, the body focuses the blood flow on the stomach to carry away nutrients as food digests. Exercising immediately after eating sends confusing messages to it. Our body is focusing on digestion while our mind is forcing it to pump oxygen into the muscles being worked. (Anyone who has or had two bosses knows how frustrating this can be.) Your mother was right yet again when she told you not to go swimming for an hour after you ate.
Remember to drink water during your workout to keep from dehydrating.

Hi my current code is
int randomNumber = random.nextInt(899) + 100;
My teacher said: Also, the formula for the random number will yield a number in the range of
100 to 998 vs. 100 to 999. (off-by-one error).
So I need to make it so it puts it between 100 - 999. But, I'm confused on how that works exactly.

Crude oil futures topped $96 a barrel earlier today, the highest price since last September. Rising prices follow today's reports on new jobless claims and new housing starts, both of which indicate that the U.S. economy is continuing to grow and demand for energy will pick up.
The price of crude is also reacting today to the hostage situation in Algeria, which is signalling to crude traders that geopolitical tensions could be on the rise again. Geopolitics always plays a short-term role in pricing crude.
A third factor in today's price hike is likely the surprise drop in U.S. crude inventories reported yesterday the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Although the decline was just 1 million barrels, it could be a sign that producers are cutting back on production in an effort to push prices back up. Crude prices declined more than 7% in 2012.
One final issue could be Saudi Arabia's reported December cutback in production and an expected overall drop in OPEC supply.
The combination of these factors, and at least some worry that cuts to OPEC production cannot be made up by non-OPEC producers, are pushing the price of crude back up in the short term. Tomorrow's release of Chinese GDP growth data could be the swing factor. If the Chinese economy grew more than the expected 7.8% in the fourth quarter, we'll see another spike in crude prices tomorrow.

Chaps and chapesses
The names Paul and I'm due to move to Belfast in May/June of this year. I'm a Vietnam re-enactor with 5 years of Nam and 8 years before that of WW2 German. (Some of you may know me....bad luck!)
So will be in attendance hopefully at shows this year, I think I'll miss Duncannon 2014 (which I attended about 7 years ago and really enjoyed) but am looking forward to getting into a new "scene" and am happy to travel.
So with this all in mind I would welcome any other Vietnam re-enactors comments or a club to join! If there are no clubs do we need to start one?
Let me know...
All the best,

Planning for the end of life can be both rewarding and difficult.
Thinking about and planning for the end-of-life can be a difficult time for patients and their families. Each person will have unique needs and will cope in different ways. This time is easier when patients, families, and health care providers talk openly about end-of-life plans. For many patients and their families, this can be a time of personal growth. These events often give people the chance to find out more about themselves and appreciate what is most important to them.
This summary discusses care during the last days and last hours of life, including treatment of common symptoms and ethical questions that may come up. It may help patients and their families prepare for the kinds of decisions that may be needed during this time.
This summary is about end-of-life in adults with cancer and where noted, children with cancer.
Making end-of-life plans can lower the stress on both the patient and the family.
When treatment choices and plans are discussed before the last days of life, it can lower the stress on both the patient and the family. Knowing the patient's wishes can help make it easier for family members to make major decisions for the patient during a very emotional time. It is most helpful if end-of life planning and decision-making begin soon after diagnosis and continue during the course of the disease. Having these decisions in writing can make the patient's wishes clear to both the family and the health care team. When it is a child who is terminally ill, having these discussions with the child's doctor may reduce the time the child spends in the hospital and help the parents feel more prepared for the child's end of life.
End-of-life planning usually includes making choices about the following:
Palliative care relieves symptoms and can improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
The goal of palliative care is to improve the patient's and the family's quality of life by preventing and relieving suffering. This includes treating physical symptoms such as pain, and dealing with emotional, social, and spiritual concerns.
When palliative treatment is given at the end of life, care is taken to make sure the patient's wishes about treatments he or she wants to receive are followed.
Hospice programs provide care given by experts on end-of-life issues.
Hospice is a program that gives care to people who are near the end of life and have stopped treatment to cure or control their cancer. Hospice care is usually meant for patients who are not expected to live longer than six months. Hospice care focuses on quality of life rather than length of life. The goal of hospice is to help patients live each day to the fullest by making them comfortable and relieving their symptoms. This may include palliative care to control pain and other symptoms so the patient can be as alert and comfortable as possible. Services to help and support the emotional, social, and spiritual needs of patients and their families are also an important part of hospice care.
Hospice programs are designed to keep a patient at home with family and friends, but hospice programs also provide services in hospice centers and in some hospitals and nursing home facilities. The hospice team includes doctors, nurses, spiritual advisors, social workers, nutritionists, and volunteers. Team members are specially trained on issues that occur at the end-of-life. After the patient's death, the hospice program continues to offer support, including grief or bereavement counseling.
(See the PDQ summary on Transitional Care Planning for more information on home care needs.)
Common symptoms at the end of life include pain, feeling very tired, coughing, shortness of breath, rattle, delirium, and fever. Bleeding may also occur.
Pain medicines can be given in several ways.
In the last days, a patient may not be able to swallow pain medicine. When patients cannot take medicines by mouth, the pain medicine may be given by placing it under the tongue or into the rectum, by injection or infusion, or by placing a patch on the skin. These methods can be used at home with a doctor's order.
Pain during the final hours of life can usually be controlled.
Opioid analgesics work very well to relieve pain and are commonly used at the end of life. Some patients worry that the use of opioids may cause death to occur sooner, but studies have shown no link between opioid use and early death.
(See the PDQ summary on Pain for more information about opioids.)
Myoclonic jerking may be a side effect of opioid use.
Myoclonic jerks are sudden muscle twitches or jerks that cannot be controlled by the person having them. A hiccup is one type of myoclonic jerk. Myoclonic jerking often occurs in the arms or legs. Taking very high doses of an opioid for a long time may cause this side effect, but it can have other causes as well. In patients taking opioids, it may begin with jerking movements that happen once in a while and then begin to happen more often. Rarely, there is constant jerking of different muscle groups all over the body.
When opioids are the cause of myoclonic jerking, changing to another opioid may help. Different patients respond to opioids in different ways and certain opioids may be more likely than others to cause myoclonic jerking in some people.
When the patient is very near death, medicine to stop the myoclonic jerking may be given instead of changing the opioid. When myoclonic jerking is severe, drugs may be used to calm the patient down, relieve anxiety, and help the patient sleep.
Fatigue (feeling very tired) can have many causes at the end of life. These include physical and mental changes and side effects of treatments. Drugs that increase brain activity, alertness, attention, and energy may be helpful. (See the PDQ summary on Fatigue for more information.)
Shortness of Breath
Feeling short of breath is common during the final days or weeks of life.
Shortness of breath or not being able to catch your breath is often caused by advanced cancer. Other causes include the following:
The use of opioids and other methods can help the patient breathe more easily.
Very low doses of an opioid may relieve shortness of breath in patients who are not taking opioids for pain. Higher doses may be needed in patients who are taking opioids for pain or who have severe shortness of breath.
Other methods that may help patients who feel short of breath include the following:
In rare cases, shortness of breath may not be relieved by any of these treatments. Sedation with drugs may be needed, to help the patient feel more comfortable.
Some patients have spasms of the air passages in the lungs along with shortness of breath. Bronchodilators (drugs that open up small airways in the lungs) or steroid drugs (which relieve swelling and inflammation) may relieve these spasms.
Chronic coughing at the end of life may add to a patient's discomfort. Repeated coughing can cause pain and loss of sleep, increase tiredness, and make shortness of breath worse. At the end of life, the decision may be to treat the symptoms of the cough rather than finding and treating the cause. The following types of drugs may be used to make the patient as comfortable as possible:
Also, the doctor may look at drugs the patient is already taking, as some drugs (such as ACE inhibitors for high blood pressure or heart failure) can cause cough.
(See the PDQ summary on Cardiopulmonary Syndromes for more information.)
Death Rattle
Rattle occurs when saliva or other fluids collect in the throat and upper airways.
Rattle occurs when saliva or other fluids build up in the throat and airways in a patient who is too weak to clear the throat. There are two types of rattle. Death rattle is caused by saliva pooling at the back of the throat. The other kind of rattle is caused by fluid in the airways from an infection, a tumor, or excess fluid in body tissues.
Drugs may be given to decrease the amount of saliva in the mouth or to dry the upper airway. Since most patients with rattle are unable to swallow, these drugs are usually given in patches on the skin or by infusion.
Non-drug treatments for rattle include changing the patient's position and giving less fluid.
Raising the head of the bed, propping the patient up with pillows, or turning the patient to either side may help relieve rattle. If the rattle is caused by fluid at the back of the throat, excess fluid may be gently removed from the mouth using a suction tube. If the rattle is caused by fluid in the airways, the fluid is usually not removed by suction. Suctioning causes severe physical and mental stress on the patient.
At the end of life, the body needs less food and fluid. Reducing food and fluids can lessen the excess fluid in the body and greatly relieve rattle.
Death rattle is a sign that death may soon occur.
Death rattle is a sign that death may occur in hours or days. Rattle can be very upsetting for those at the bedside. It does not seem to be painful for the patient.
Delirium is common at the end of life.
Delirium is common during the final days of life. Some patients may be confused, nervous, and restless, and have hallucinations (see or hear things not really there). Other patients may be quiet and withdrawn. (See the PDQ summary on Cognitive Disorders and Delirium for more information.)
Delirium can be caused by the direct effects of cancer, such as a growing tumor in the brain. Other causes include the following:
Delirium may be controlled by finding and treating the cause.
Depending on the cause of the delirium, treatment may include the following:
For some patients in the last hours of life, the decision may be to treat only the symptoms of delirium and make the patient as comfortable as possible. There are drugs that work very well to relieve these symptoms.
Hallucinations that are not related to delirium often occur at the end of life.
It is common for dying patients to have hallucinations that include loved ones who have already died. It is normal for family members to feel distress when these hallucinations occur. Speaking with clergy, the hospital chaplain, or other religious advisors is often helpful.
Fever and infections are common at the end-of-life. Because patients often have many medical problems at the end of life, it can be hard to know the cause of a fever and if treatment will help the patient. Patients near the end of life may choose not to treat the cause of the fever but only to receive comfort measures, such as acetaminophen.
Sudden hemorrhage (heavy bleeding) may occur in patients who have certain cancers or disorders.
Hemorrhage (a lot of bleeding in a short time) is rare but may occur in the last hours or minutes of life. Blood vessels may be damaged by certain cancers or cancer treatments. Radiation therapy, for example, can weaken blood vessels in the area that was treated. Tumors can also damage blood vessels. Patients with the following conditions are at risk for this symptom:
The patient should talk with the doctor about any concerns he or she has about the chance of hemorrhage.
Making the patient comfortable is the main goal of care during hemorrhage at the end of life.
When hemorrhage occurs during cancer care, it is treated with bandages and medicines or with treatments such as radiation therapy, surgery, and blood transfusions. When sudden bleeding occurs at the end of life, however, patients usually die soon afterwards. Resuscitation (restarting the heart) usually will not work. The main goal of care is to help the patient be calm and comfortable and to support family members. If hemorrhage occurs, it can be very upsetting for family members. It is helpful if the family talks about the feelings this causes and asks questions about it.
The following steps can be taken when bleeding occurs in the last hours of life:
Fast-acting drugs may help calm the patient during this time.
Choices about care and treatment at the end of life should be made while the patient is able to make them.
In addition to decisions about treating symptoms at the end-of-life, it is also helpful for patients to decide if and when they want this treatment to stop. A patient may wish to receive all possible treatments, only some treatments, or no treatment at all. These decisions may be written down ahead of time in an advance directive, such as a living will. Advance directive is the general term for different types of legal documents that describe the treatment or care a patient wishes to receive or not receive when he or she is no longer able to speak their wishes.
The patient may also name a healthcare proxy to make these decisions when he or she becomes unable to do so. Having advance directives in place makes it easier for family members and caregivers when very important decisions have to be made in the last days, such as whether to give nutrition support, restart the heart, help with breathing, or give sedatives.
When the patient does not make choices about end-of-life care, or does not share his choices with family members, health care proxies, or the health care team, treatment may be given near death against the patient's wishes. As a result, studies show that the patient's quality of life may be worse and the family's grieving process may be more difficult.
Studies have shown that cancer patients who have end-of-life discussions with their doctors choose to have fewer procedures, such as resuscitation or the use of a ventilator. They are also less likely to be in intensive care, and the cost of their health care is lower during their final week of life. Reports from their caregivers show that these patients live as long as patients who choose to have more procedures and that they have a better quality of life in their last days.
Nutrition Support
The goals of nutrition support for patients in the last days of life are different from the goals during cancer treatment.
Nutrition support can improve health and boost healing during cancer treatment. The goals of nutrition therapy for patients during the last hours of life are different from the goals for patients in active cancer treatment and recovery. In the final days of life, patients often lose the desire to eat or drink and may refuse food or fluids that are offered to them. Also, procedures used to put feeding tubes in place and problems that can occur with these types of feedings may be hard on a patient.
Making plans for nutrition support in the last days is helpful.
The goal of end-of-life care is to prevent suffering and relieve symptoms. If nutrition support causes the patient more discomfort than help, then nutrition support near the end of life may be stopped. The needs and best interests of each patient guide the decision to give nutrition support. When decisions and plans about nutrition support are made by the patient, doctors and family members can be sure they are doing what the patient wants.
Two types of nutrition support are commonly used.
If the patient cannot swallow, two types of nutrition support are commonly used:
Each type of nutrition support has benefits and risks. (See the PDQ summary on Nutrition in Cancer Care for more information.)
An important decision for the patient to make is whether to have cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (trying to restart the heart and breathing when it stops). It is best if patients talk with their family, doctors, and caregivers about their wishes for CPR as early as possible (for example, when being admitted to the hospital or when active cancer treatment is stopped). A do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order is written by a doctor to tell other health professionals not to perform CPR at the moment of death, so that the natural process of dying occurs. If the patient wishes, he or she can ask the doctor to write a DNR order. The patient can ask that the DNR order be changed or removed at any time.
Ventilator Use
Ventilator use may keep the patient alive after normal breathing stops.
A ventilator is a machine that helps patients breathe. Sometimes, using a ventilator will not improve the patient's condition, but will keep the patient alive longer. If the goal of care is to help the patient live longer, a ventilator may be used, according to the patient's wishes. If ventilator support stops helping the patient or is no longer what the patient wants, the patient, family, and health care team may decide to turn the ventilator off.
Some patients may want to be allowed to die when breathing gets difficult or stops. It is important for the patient to tell family members and health care providers, before breathing becomes difficult, of his or her wishes about being kept alive with a ventilator.
Before a ventilator is turned off, family members will be given information about what to expect.
Family members will be given information about how the patient may respond when the ventilator is removed and about pain relief or sedation to keep the patient comfortable. Family members will be given time to contact other loved ones who wish to be there. Chaplains or social workers may be called to give help and support to the family.
The decision whether to sedate a patient at the end of life is a difficult one. Sedation may be considered for a patient's comfort or for a physical condition such as uncontrolled pain. Palliative sedation may be temporary. A patient's thoughts and feelings about end-of-life sedation may depend greatly on his or her own culture and beliefs. Some patients who become anxious facing the end of life may want to be sedated. Other patients may wish to have no procedures, including sedation, just before death.
It is important for the patient to tell family members and health care providers of his or her wishes about sedation at the end of life. When patients make their wishes about sedation known ahead of time, doctors and family members can be sure they are doing what the patient would want. Families may need support from the health care team and mental health professionals while palliative sedation is used.
Knowing what to expect in the final days or hours may be comforting to the family.
Most people are not familiar with the signs that death is near. Knowing what to expect can prepare them for the death of their loved one and make this time less stressful and confusing. Health care providers can give family members information about the changes they may see in their loved one in the final hours and how they may help their loved one through it.
Patients often lose the desire to eat or drink in the final days or hours.
In the final days to hours of life, patients often lose the desire to eat or drink, and may refuse food and fluids that are offered to them. The family may give ice chips or swab the mouth and lips to keep them moist. Forcing food and fluids can make the patient uncomfortable or cause choking. Family members may find other ways to show their love for the patient, such as massage.
Patients near death may not respond to others.
Patients may withdraw and spend more time sleeping. They may answer questions slowly or not at all, seem confused, and show little interest in their surroundings. Most patients are still able to hear after they are no longer able to speak. It may give some comfort if family members continue to touch and talk to the patient, even if the patient does not respond.
A number of physical changes are common when the patient is near death.
Some of the following physical changes may occur in the patient at the end of life:
Patients and their families may have cultural or religious beliefs and customs that are important at the time of death.
After the patient dies, family members and caregivers may wish to stay with the patient a while. There may be certain customs or rituals that are important to the patient and family at this time. These might include rituals for coping with death, handling the patient's body, making final arrangements for the body, and honoring the death. The patient and family members should let the health care team know about any customs or rituals they want performed after the patient's death.
Health care providers, hospice staff, social workers, or spiritual leaders can explain the steps that need to be taken once death has occurred, including contacting a funeral home.
(See the PDQ summary on Spirituality in Cancer Care for more information.)
Grief is a normal reaction to the loss of a loved one. People who feel unable to cope with their loss may be helped by grief counseling or grief therapy with trained professionals. (See the PDQ summary on Grief, Bereavement, and Coping With Loss for more information.)

PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one method of treating symptoms is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. Some patients have symptoms caused by cancer treatment or by the cancer itself. During supportive care clinical trials, information is collected about how well new ways to treat symptoms of cancer work. The trials also study side effects of treatment and problems that come up during or after treatment. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients who have symptoms related to cancer treatment may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

Sierra de Cazorla olive oil
Olive oil
The Sierra de Cazorla Designation of Origin covers extra virgin olive oils obtained mostly from the Picual variety and also Royal.
It is extra virgin olive oil, obtained from the olive or fruit of the olive tree, of the Picuda variety (94%) and, to a lesser degree, Royal (6%). It comes from the olive-producing county of Cazorla, in the Natural Park in the mountains of the same name. A total of approximately 31,500 hectares of olive trees are set aside for growing both varieties. The harvest is carried out with greatest care, manually collecting only olives hanging on the tree. The oils obtained do not exceed 1º of acidity and have specially defined sensory qualities, although these are different depending on whether they are from the Picual or Royal variety.
- 産品の種類: Others
- シーズン: All year round
- 産地: The Designation of Origin covers the area occupied by olive groves in the southeastern part of the province of Jaén, between the Designations of Sierra Mágina and Sierra del Segura. It includes Cazorla, Chilluevar, Hinojares, Huesa, La Iruela, Peal de Becerro, Pozo Alcón, Quesada and Santo Tomé.
- 'Picual': Greenish yellow coloured oils with a great deal of flavour, intensely fruity, flavour of fresh fruit and slightly bitter, with a gentle bite. Very stable..
- Royal: Very valuable oils, yellowish in colour, with fresh, fruity flavour and a sweet aroma.
- 注意: Rich in lipids and vitamin E.

Well, hello there.
Ready for a little peek into our week via my cell?
Here we go.
It was open market time in the city center of Luxembourg.
That means lots of pretty fresh flowers, fruits and veggies.
One of my favorite stands at the open market is the fresh pasta.
I was actually able to place my order in French. I know!
But you buy it by the gram and if you remember, I'm not so good with the metric system so I second guessed myself and hesitated.
My telltale American accent gave me away, and the man knew exactly what I was trying to figure out. He smiled and said, "Cinq cents grammes. You want one pound?"
Right. Five hundred grams. One pound.
I'll get it eventually.
Speaking of French, here's my devoirs de français, French homework.
My goodness, it's been a long time since I've had to study or do homework.
It makes me giggle because when my teacher speaks English (which isn't very often because the entire class is in French) he calls it "homeworks."
We've had some beautiful days here lately, perfect for bubbles at the playground.
When my husband travels, he is the master of packing a suitcase about an hour before he leaves the house.
Me? I like to pack little by little over the course of a few days or even a week.
We're going to the US for Easter and Spring Break and I've been slowly filling this laundry basket with things that must go into my suitcase.
Want to know one of my little travel secrets?
I use Space Bags.
Yes, sir, I do.
I know that the commercials are super cheesy but they totally work.
You put your clothes in the bag, turn on the vacuum and voila!
Your stuff takes up about half the space in your suitcase.
So that was a bit of our week.
Next week we'll be home with our families and we can't wait!

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease
The stages of chronic kidney disease are determined by the glomerular filtration rate. Glomerular filtration is the process by which the kidneys filter the blood, removing excess wastes and fluids. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a calculation that determines how well the blood is filtered by the kidneys. It is one way to measure kidney function.
Glomerular filtration rate is usually calculated using a formula that includes a person's age, gender, race, and serum creatinine levels. A GFR under 60 mL/min/1.73 m² may indicate kidney disease. The lower the GFR number, the worse the kidney function. This number is an estimate. It may not be a good measure of kidney health in some people, such as the very young or very old, amputees, or obese people. In some cases, GFR may also be estimated with a 24-hour urine collection.
Chronic kidney disease is defined as either kidney damage or GFR of less than 60 for longer than 3 months.
What this means to you
Kidney damage with normal or high GFR
90 or above
Kidney damage with mildly low GFR
Kidney damage with moderately low GFR
Kidney damage with severely low GFR
Kidney failure
Below 15

Let $K$ be a subgroup of some group $H$; let $X$ be the set of left cosets of $K$, i.e. $X = \{hK: h \in H\}$; and let $G$ be the group of permutations of $X$. For all $h \in H$, let $f\,(h) \in G$ be the permutation of $X$ that sends every coset $h'K$ to the coset $hh'K$. It's easy to see that the map $f:H\to G$ is a homomorphism of groups. My question is
what is the kernel of $f\;\;$?
(I understand that $K\subseteq \ker(f\,)$, and also that if $K$ is contained in the center of $H$, then $\ker(f\,) = K$, but I'm interested in the general case.)

Death Sentence Overturned for Chinese Woman Convicted of $60 Million Ponzi Scheme
Following public outcry, China's supreme court overturned a death sentence for a former Chinese businesswoman who once ranked as China's sixth-wealthiest woman before she was convicted of operating a Ponzi scheme that bilked investors out of 380 million yuan, or approximately $60 million. After a re-trial, Wu Ying was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve – a common sentence in China for those who are deemed to have sufficiently reformed. Under Chinese law, individuals sentenced to death have the opportunity to have their sentenced commuted to life sentences if they do not commit a crime after two years.
From May 2005 to February 2007, Ms. Ying raised approximately 770 million yuan, or $121 million, from investors who thought their funds would be used to start companies, extend loans, or prop up cashflow at existing businesses. In return for their contribution, investors were told they could expect annual rates of return of up to eighty percent. While initially Ms. Ying solicited family and friends, she expanded the scheme in 2006 when she formed Bense Holdings Group Co. and invited outsiders to invest, promising even higher rates of return. Instead, according to Chinese authorities, she used the funds to service existing debt and fund extravagant purchases such as real estate and a Ferrari. After being arrested, Ms. Ying confessed and disclosed that she had bribed several government workers in connection with the scheme. She was then convicted of promising high interest to attract money for fictitious investment projects and sentenced to death.
All death sentences are reviewed automatically by the Supreme People's Court, which announced it would review the case "with care". It then rejected the death penalty in April, and ordered the case returned to Ms. Ying's home province of Zheijiang for re-sentencing. In addition to the reprieve, the court also ordered that Ying forfeit all of her personal property and be stripped of all political rights for life.

Tech Update
A New Standard in Flow-Forming Technology
The new ST 650 H 9100-4RS model can handle wall thicknesses in excess of 30 mm, and can achieve the reduction limit of 90 percent in only one run-over. Leifeld engineers were challenged to develop a new concept for a large-scale flow-forming machine that could be built in only eight months, while maintaining an attractive price/performance ratio and low entrepreneurial risk. The machine was designed to employ reinforced modular assemblies so that all of the main components could be used in the construction of smaller machines, with a reduced manufacturing time. Despite a length of nearly 30 m and a weight of almost 200 tons, the machine can be constructed in parts, reducing the procurement time for the large machine bed and frame components, and making it significantly easier to transport.
Due to the high forces and driving powers involved, Leifeld employed an extremely robust frame structure that already had been proven in smaller machines. The machine bed and cross beam were optimized with regard to stiffness and deflection. The stiffness of the overall machine frame was further increased by prestressing the two ballscrew drives, arranged diagonally with respect to each other and attached to the frame. To date, these have been installed in smaller machines with a length of approximately 6 m, and are employed here for the first time with a length of more than 11 m for the advance feed of the slide and tailstock.
In order to optimize forming capacity, Leifeld relied on a four-roller flow-forming slide. The forces of the roll-feed axes were considerably increased, to 600 kN. Sliding guides were installed for the take-up of the high radial forces using the smallest construction space. The slide frame with the four radial flow-forming sleds also was optimized for stiffness and strength.

Not long ago, maybe a month, one Saturday afternoon, we more or less were hanging out in downtown Marietta Glover Park when I heard someone holler my name, "Eddie!"
I looked in the direction of the voice and there was only an old man with a white shaggy beard I didn't recognize. I looked beyond him and there were no one but a couple of teenage girls in evening gowns.
A lot of girls were there that Saturday, with photographers and parent photographers, posing. I think they were posing in their high school prom garb with the big tier water fountain in the background.
Maybe the old white bearded man was calling someone behind me that that sounded like my name, I turned around. More clusters of teenage girls in their evening finery…. Maybe one's name is Betty and I just thought he said Eddie.
This time he was closer, he said it again. It was plainly "Eddie". I double-focused on the old dishevel bearded man and saw it wasn't a shaggy white beard at all, it was a neatly trimmed white beard. And the old man was David Hunter, my first cousin, about eight years younger than me.
We greeted each other. It is always nice to run into David. David told us he was growing a beard because he would be playing Santa Claus at events in December.
David is a community minded person and occasionally I see his picture in the paper doing something for the community.
Last week his picture was in the Marietta Daily Journal playing Santa Claus for a group of kids. Some were sitting in his lap.
It reminded me of when David was the age of those children that were around him in the picture.
My Daddy loved to play Santa on the phone to all his nieces and nephews. He called his nieces and nephews one at a time and give a big hearty "Ho Ho Ho" and tell them he was Santa and probably scared them shitless and asked them have they been good and what they wanted for Christmas and things about their school grades. He did a good job. He loved to interact with kids like that. His Ho HO Ho was an enthused Ho Ho Ho, not like the Ho Ho Ho of the bored Santa in Jean ShepArd's CHRISTMAS STORY.
Another thing Daddy did was get his nieces and nephews in his lap and tell them mind bending stories. He made them up as he went along. The story would always be an adventure story starring two little kids that just so happened to have the same names of the two kids sitting on his knees. They would get lost in the woods and have would death one defying close call after another – from hanging on to a log going down a river towards a very high waterfall to being chase by a bear - but they were always saved in the nick of time.
I used to love to sit nearby and listen to story and watch the spell-bound kids engrossed in what they were hearing.
One time, I think it was David and his brother Johnny, were sitting on Daddy's lap, and David was So drawn into the impossible to get out alive plot he let out a cry and hit Daddy square in the face.
I don't remember if the story continued or not, I was too busy on the floor rolling in laughter.

The AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit is designed for purifying both genomic DNA and total RNA from a single cell or tissue sample. Since there is no need to divide the sample into two for separate purification procedures, maximum yields of DNA and RNA can be achieved. The purified DNA and RNA are eluted separately and ready to use in any downstream application.
A simple workflow allows the purification of high-quality DNA and RNA from the same sample in as little as 35 minutes (see flowchart "AllPrep DNA/RNA procedure"). Both cultured cells and easy-to-lyse tissues can be processed. Genomic DNA is purified using the novel AllPrep DNA spin column, and total RNA is purified using an RNeasy Mini spin column. A supplementary protocol allows optional purification of protein. For experiments where DNA, RNA, and protein are regularly prepared from each sample, the AllPrep DNA/RNA/Protein Mini Kit can be used instead.
When disrupting and homogenizing tissues in Buffer RLT Plus (supplied with the AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit), excessive foaming may occur. This foaming is substantially reduced by adding Reagent DX (supplied separately) to Buffer RLT Plus at a final concentration of 0.5% (v/v) before starting disruption and homogenization. Reagent DX has been carefully tested with the kit, and has no effect on RNA purity or on downstream applications such as real-time RT-PCR. Buffer RLT Plus containing Reagent DX can be stored at room temperature (15–25ºC) for at least 9 months.
The purified genomic DNA with an average length of 15–30 kb, depending on homogenization conditions, is suited for any application, including Southern-, dot-, and slot-blot analyses; and PCR and multiplex PCR.
The purified total RNA can be used in any application, such as: RT-PCR and real-time RT-PCR; differential display; cDNA synthesis; northern-, dot-, and slot-blot analyses; and microarrays.
A supplementary protocol allows optional purification of protein. The purified protein is denatured and can be used in applications such as SDS-PAGE, western blotting, and 2D gel electrophoresis.

Uncoil the beat of the soul. Memories within wrap themselves around the past and your blood pumps with the heart song of the ancients, winding also around theyr memories. Together, you just Are. All that you seek, all that you yearn... is just You. Your memories, your future aspirations; they all Are and they all have Been. How your blood draws you near, us near.
The Dragon resides in your base core or chakra it can be called, this is your basic instinct. All the emotions of Power, the energy that drives you forward... this is Dragon. The heat you feel when adrenalin pumps in excited fashion... this is Dragon. The love that is unconditionally eternal, ancient and strong... this is Dragon. From the tip of your spine, the tailbone to your skull... is the Dragon. Arms stretched wide, form the wings of Dragon...You. This is the Kundalini, the serpent that Awakes...the wingless Dragon. This power source centre contains all your chakras, it is the Rainbow Serpent.
Society and hystory in general, has taught us to be uncomfortable with these mythological beings. Those who feel the bloodcall, who are able to draw power and strength from the older than time ancient ones, grow stronger and much clearer once they learn to feel comfortable with theyr uniqueness. Theyr is a surety with such energy seeping off one's aura and energetic fields, people will be instinctively uncomfortable within your presence. Sending off a refined and regal, albeit occasionally masculine-like quality regardless of whether it is a Lord or Lady of the Dragon Realm masquerading momentarily as a human and living a nonchalant life that all will be provided in abundance. This charm really does ensure they always do, a feat I now see accomplished after an intense frowning concentration session from my oldest borne son who has now discovered he is the companion to a Chaos Dragon as he says... and the way my brother just sits backs and receives with a huge, knowing smile upon his face, much to his amusement and my thoughts of why is it in my family the girls surely have to work so much harder for it.
Stand theyr out in nature, in the wood and trees or in the wide open spaces and just breathe in the air, arms out wide and face towards the sky... Inhale deeply and draw the power within, imagine you are looking at your tailbone, see that you can feel the tip of the dragons tail uncoil and stand straight. Up along your back, the Dragon uncoils and feels free once more, feel the Dragon stretch and energy raise from your base to your head. Your head and back is now the Dragons head and tail. Arms out wide, you and the Dragon become as One, are One. Breathe deeply and inhale, keep this going as you raise the Power and feel ready to Soar! As you open your new eyes, how do you see the worlde now?
Much differently I expect...

What if you could create sex and relationship from a completely different place than you've been choosing?
Relationship is defined as the distance between two objects. In other words, when you are in relationship, by definition there has to be separation. Often as a relationship is created we separate from ourselves in an attempt to be close to someone else. What else may be possible?
Communion is the ability to be with anything and anyone without judgment. Communion is with all things, not just a person. It is the connection with every molecule in the universe; it's part of oneness. In communion, you are you, regardless of what anybody else chooses.
What if you could have communion with yourself, your body, and with others? When you are able to have communion with everything then you can receive everything. This will affect not only your sex life and relationships, it will also show up in every other area of your life because it's about the ability to receive.
What if your relationship could be about asking the question - 'What could we create together that is greater than anything we could create apart?'
What if sex could be about the joyful expression of living? When done from that point of view, it can be expansive, wildly intense, and the possibilities can be beyond what you've experienced before. Sound any different from what you've been choosing?
