With advances in technology, pacemakers and ICDs generally last five to seven years or longer (depending on usage and the type of device) and, in most cases, allow a person to lead a normal life. In addition, advances in device circuitry and insulation have reduced the interference risk from machinery, such as microwaves, which, in the past, may have altered or otherwise affected these surgically implanted cardiac devices. Even so, certain precautions must be taken into consideration when a person has a pacemaker or ICD.
The following precautions should always be considered. Discuss the following in detail with your doctor:
Always consult your doctor or device company if you have any questions concerning the use of certain equipment near your pacemaker or ICD.
Once the device has been implanted, people with pacemakers or ICDs should be able to do the same activities everyone else in their age group is doing. When you have a pacemaker/ or CD, you may still be able do the following:
When involved in a physical, recreational, or sporting activity, a person with a pacemaker or ICD should avoid receiving a blow to the area over the device. A blow to the chest near the pacemaker or ICD can affect its functioning. If you do receive a blow to that area, see your doctor.
Always consult your doctor when you feel ill after an activity, or when you have questions about beginning a new activity.
Although your device is built to last at least five years, you should always have it checked regularly to ensure that it is working properly. Different doctors may have different schedules for checking devices, and most are checked in the home using a telephone and special equipment provided by your device manufacturer. Your doctor will recommend in-person device checks at specific intervals as well. Any device setting changes must be made in person, by a trained medical professional, using a device programmer.
Battery life, lead wire condition, and various functions are checked by performing a device interrogation. During an interrogation the device is noninvasively connected to a device programmer using a special wand placed on the skin over the pacemaker or ICD. The data is transmitted from the device to the programmer and evaluted. Most in-home device interrogation systems use wireless technology to connect the device to special equipment that records the data and sends it to your doctor.
Your doctor may ask you to check your pulse rate periodically. Report any unusual symptoms or symptoms similar to those you had prior to the device insertion to your health care provider immediately.
Always consult your doctor for more information, if needed.
The pulse rate is a measurement of the heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute. As the heart pushes blood through the arteries, the arteries expand and contract with the flow of the blood. Taking a pulse not only measures the heart rate, but also can indicate:
The normal pulse rate for healthy adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. The pulse rate may fluctuate and increase with exercise, illness, injury, and emotions. Girls ages 12 and older and women, in general, tend to have faster heart rates than do boys and men. Athletes, such as runners, who do a lot of cardiovascular conditioning may have heart rates in the 40s and experience no problems.
As the heart forces blood through the arteries, you feel the beats by firmly pressing on the arteries, which are located close to the surface of the skin at certain points of the body. The pulse can be found on the side of the lower neck, on the inside of the elbow, or at the wrist. When taking your pulse:

Shortly after trade, Sox install Hanrahan as closer
Andrew Bailey, Boston's presumed ninth-inning man for 2013, has been moved to a setup role in favor of the centerpiece of Wednesday's six-player trade with Pittsburgh, right-hander Joel Hanrahan.
The trade, which was near completion before Christmas, sent right-handers Mark Melancon and Stolmy Pimentel, infielder Ivan De Jesus and first baseman Jerry Sands to the Pirates in exchange for Hanrahan and infielder Brock Holt.
Manager John Farrell has already spoken to Bailey and Hanrahan. At the start of the month, Bailey said he was approaching the season as though he would close.
"It was a great conversation, obviously," Hanrahan said. "He told me they're excited to have me there. ... I'm excited for the opportunity. I wasn't sure what the role was going to be, because there are obviously guys who have closed there before, with great success."
Hanrahan, 31, had a 2.72 ERA in 2012 and a 1.83 ERA the year before -- both times earning All-Star selections -- and he has 76 saves since 2011. His lifetime average of 9.9 strikeouts per nine innings is a positive, too, but his walk rate from last season could be a red flag: that rose, from 2.1 to 5.4 per nine.
The Red Sox said they vetted that matter and that adding a pitcher of Hanrahan's caliber is a rare opportunity.
"His stuff, as I'm sure you've seen, is right at the top of the scale. He's got a fastball in the upper 90s, and when he's right, his slider is as good as anybody's in baseball," assistant general manager Brian O'Halloran said. "I spoke with John earlier, and he has spoken with both Bailey and Hanrahan, so I don't mind sharing with you that John plans to go into the spring with Hanrahan as the closer. He talked to Andrew."
Bailey, 28, missed most of 2012, his first year with the Red Sox, after sustaining a freak injury to his right thumb during Spring Training. He finished with 19 appearances, six saves in nine chances and a 7.04 ERA, and he'll likely get closing opportunities if Hanrahan has pitched on too many consecutive days.
"We see Andrew as playing a very important role in the back end of our bullpen as well," O'Halloran said. "There will be plenty of opportunities for him to help us win games in key situations late in the game, and we know he's very capable both of closing and pitching in other high-leverage situations at the ends of games. It's not too often you get a chance to add a two-time All-Star closer to the mix."
Bailey will, in essence, serve as a backup closer, a role the Red Sox envisioned for Melancon last season. That didn't go as planned. When Bailey got hurt, Melancon was ineffective, and the Red Sox had to put swing reliever Alfredo Aceves in the role.
A closer himself before joining the Red Sox last season, Melancon finished his only year in Boston with a 6.20 ERA, although he let up just one run in September. He told MLB.com from Hawaii on Wednesday that his time with the Red Sox was transformative.
"Obviously, I got off to a rough start," Melancon said. "So, you know, I don't think they treated me unfairly. It's hard for me, because I feel like I didn't produce as well as I should have, and so there's nobody to blame but myself. Obviously, baseball is a game that's built on failure, so you have to understand that, too. It's exciting for me, because I had a great last half of the season last year, and that's kind of who I am and who I anticipate being.
"I learned how to combat [being outside the closer's role], and it took me a little while, understandably, but it made me a better pitcher and a better person. In my mind, there wasn't a [lot of] bad, other than I let down some of the team. Which is never fun. But I think, as a whole, I got a lot better."
For Pittsburgh, the trade could partly have been motivated by the roughly $7 million Hanrahan is set to earn in 2013, his last year before free agency, and Hanrahan was aware that he was likely on the block. He's never been to Fenway Park and only once been to Boston, even though his wife's family comes from Massachusetts (Brockton and Avon).
"I've only seen Fenway on movies," Hanrahan said. "I've never actually been there. I've been to Boston one time for a wedding. That was kind of a quick little trip, in and out of there. I don't know a whole lot about the city or the stadium. I've seen it on TV, but I've never been there."
Just in the number of controllable players, Pirates GM Neal Huntington got a sizable return, but the Sox needed space. Of the four players the Red Sox sent, De Jesus is the only who was not on the 40-man roster.
"Any time you're making a trade or any transaction, you're keeping in mind where your roster sits," O'Halloran said, "but I wouldn't say that that was a big factor in making the trade."
The Red Sox took notice of Hanrahan during an Interleague series in June 2011, when he nailed down consecutive saves while allowing just one hit between the two days. O'Halloran said that the team is comfortable Hanrahan's walk rate will drop in 2013, and Hanrahan said that he's healthy after dealing with ankle and hamstring issues last season.
"Obviously, we looked at that very closely," O'Halloran said of the walks. "We do think there are some reasons that we saw the uptick in walks. We're going to talk to Joel, and John's already started that process, and [pitching coach] Juan Nieves and [bullpen coach] Gary Tuck and John will get together with Joel and throw out anything that they see and help him with that. It's not something we're concerned about long-term."
Holt, 24 and a ninth-round Draft pick out of Rice University in 2009, made his Major League debut last season in 24 September games at second base. He held his own with a .292/.329/.354 line after he spent the majority of 2012 with Double-A Altoona. There he led the Eastern League with a .322 average and was the fifth-hardest player to strike out.
"He's a very hard-nosed player," O'Halloran said. "We're excited to have him and the energy that he brings to the table. He's got a line-drive stroke, and we think he'll be a good addition to our middle-infield core."
Pimentel, who will be 23 next season, had been in the Red Sox organization since he signed as a non-drafted free agent in July 2006. He started strong in the Minors and found himself on plenty of top-prospect lists, but he hasn't gotten over the hump in Double-A.
Sands' and DeJesus' time in the organization was short. Both 25-year-olds came over as part of the blockbuster trade with the Dodgers last summer. Sands had strong numbers at Triple-A last season, hitting .296 with 26 home runs, 107 RBIs and a .900 OPS. De Jesus played in just eight Major League games with the Red Sox, but hit .304 between Los Angeles' and Boston's Triple-A affiliates.
Only two of the five players the Red Sox acquired in that mega-deal remain their property: pitchers Allen Webster and Rubby De La Rosa.

FS#779 - Turning detailed view on/off
Opened by Christian Aigner (caigner) - Friday, 01 March 2013, 18:50 GMT+2
My system: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz and 8 GB of RAM and NVIDIA GT218 (GeForce 210)
For a normal drawing displaying it in all detail is a good thing and the performance of my quad-core system is more than adequate.
But I discovered (or rather experienced) that when putting a large collection of individual drawings of gears onto one big sheet (960 mm x 600 mm - preparation for laser cutting), the performance was so bad that I had to wait several seconds (>10 sec) for each step in the process of arranging all the parts on the layer.
Request: It would be a big help and performance booster if you could disable the detailed view of each part/layer and only draw a rectangle to visualize the outline of the part.
Please take this in consideration. Attached you find an example of how that could look like. (Actually when pasting a drawing from the clipboard you already do that.)
An additional thought: It would be nice to be able to turn details on/off for individual parts/blocks/layers.
Yes Christian I experience this often too when setting up files for laser cutting.
Another great suggestion, my votes in!
keep up the suggestions;)

Shoulder Sprain
A shoulder sprain is stretching or tearing of the ligaments that stabilize the shoulder. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that cross joints and connect bones to each other.
|Capsule of Glenohumeral Joint
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Shoulder sprains may be caused by:
- Falling on an outstretched arm
- Forced twisting of the arm
- A blow to the shoulder
- Overuse or repetitive movement of the shoulder joint
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of a shoulder sprain include:
- Playing sports, such as swimming, volleyball, baseball, gymnastics, and tennis
Occupations that involve:
- Repetitive shoulder movements, including heavy lifting
- Lifting at or above the height of your shoulder
- Vibration of the shoulder
- Irregular posture or movements
- Poor coordination
- Poor balance
- Inadequate flexibility and strength in muscles and ligaments
- Loose joints or connective tissue disorders
Shoulder sprain may cause:
- Pain, tenderness, and swelling around the shoulder
- Redness, warmth, or bruising around the shoulder
- Limited ability to move the shoulder and increased pain with movement
You will be asked about your symptoms and how you injured your shoulder. The stability of your shoulder joint and the severity of the injury will be assessed.
Tests may include:
Shoulder sprains are graded according to their severity:
- Grade 1—Some stretching with micro-tearing of ligament tissue
- Grade 2—Partial tearing of ligament tissue
- Grade 3—Complete tearing of ligament tissue
Treatment includes:
Acute Care
The shoulder will need time to heal. Activities that cause pain or put extra stress on the shoulder should be avoided.
Ice may help decrease swelling and pain in the first few days after the injury.
Pain Relief Medications
To manage pain, your doctor may advise:
- Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen
- Topical pain medication—creams or patches that are applied to the skin
- Prescription pain relievers
Note: Aspirin is not recommended for children with a current or recent viral infection. Check with your doctor before giving your child aspirin.
Extra support may be needed to help protect, support, and keep the shoulder in line while it heals. Supportive steps may include:
- Brace or sling—A brace may be needed to keep the shoulder still as it heals. Do not return to activities or sports until your doctor gives you permission to do so.
- Rehabilitation exercises—Begin exercises to restore flexibility, range of motion, and strength in your shoulder as recommended by your doctor or physical therapist.
- Surgery—Surgery is rarely needed to repair a mild shoulder sprain without instability or dysfunction. However, in athletes earlier surgery may be considered to avoid recurrent injury.
Shoulder sprains may not always be preventable. There are steps you can take to reduce your chance of getting a shoulder sprain. These include:
- Wearing protective equipment and using proper technique while playing sports
- Keeping shoulders, back, and chest strong with regular exercises to absorb the energy of sudden physical stress

10 Things They Don't Tell International Students in College
Thousands of students leave their homes and travel to the United States for college. However, there are just a few things that we end up learning the hard way and it is beyond frustrating. Here is a list of the top 10 things that colleges fail to tell their international students before it's too late.
1. You will need a SSN or ITIN to file your taxes
Now I have been in this position where I had letters piled in my mailbox from the Internal Revenue Office for filing my taxes. Even though you are an international student, you are not exempted from taxes and you have to eventually complete your W-2 forms and other documents to get your tax return.
Now a lot of universities offer international student counselors to provide advice and sessions, yet none of these seminars or conversations provide the help you really need. There are two options for international students on F1 visas for correctly filing a tax return. If you are not employed then you will have to apply for an ITIN. Now, this process is long and requires you to visit the Social Security office and fill out an application form. This process does not guarantee that you will receive an ITIN and your application may be rejected which delays your tax return.
The best method is to apply for an on campus job and get a SSN number. Immigration rules specify that international students on F1 and J1 visas are not permitted to do paid work off campus unless it is an internship related to one's major. By getting a SSN through on-campus employment you save the hassle of getting fined for not filing your tax returns.
2. CPT and OPT for internships: there is a big difference
Most universities require that you complete an internship within your area of study or an equivalent credit course. However, most students opt for internships as a vehicle to get experience in the professional field.
If you plan on doing an internship during the school semester then you are required to visit your international student's scholars office and request a CPT. This process will require a change in your I2o stating the company you are employed with is approved by the university so that you are in line with the law.
CPT limits students to only 20 hours per week for that period. An OPT extends towards the summer and allows up to 40 hours per week. This is useful for summer internships off campus. Both processes are long and require many academic signatures and approval, therefore it is important to communicate with your job supervisor and academic counselor to ensure that you will be able to start work as soon as possible.
3. Immunization
Every country has different standards for being fully immunized and the United States is no exception. International students are expected to be fully immunized under U.S. standards before the first week of class registration. If you transfer to a new university or it is your first time in college, be sure to review the university's health policy regulations and visit the school clinic to ensure that you are fully immunized.
A lot of international students are not aware of this and so they end up getting four vaccines at once for something their parents should have done when they were 10.
4. Getting a state ID
Getting a state ID is something every international student should consider. A lot of you will argue that college is only four years and getting an identification card is pointless so I will outline a scenario that will have you thinking differently in three seconds.
If your passport gets wet or damaged from displaying it at restaurants and other venues from time to time then it can cost you hundreds of dollars and a lot of inconvenience to go get it replaced. Two seconds … and so getting a state ID is free with only a $20 processing fee in most states … three seconds.
5. Bus and train routes
Your driver's license from your home country means nothing in the United States. There is a completely different system that requires additional testing and long practicing periods. Therefore your best option is to familiarize yourself with the bus and transit systems. This will allow mobility to many places around the city and spare you the high cost of getting an Uber. Frankly, college students are broke and buying a bus pass can save you a lot of money.
6. Learner's permit
If you hate public transport and creepy people then there is a way to get out of it. You can apply for your driver's license. Yes, this option is open to international students and requires completing a permit test and driving courses. The requirements vary by age, however, the same resources are available for international students as for U.S. residents.
7. Applying for a green card
Many of you decide to stay in the United States after college to work and build a professional career. However unless you attained other means of residency, a green card is the only way to ensure a legal status. However, what many universities fail to tell junior upcoming seniors who would like to stay in the country is that it is important to apply four months before graduation to ensure that they can be processed by their graduation date.
A lot of international students run into this problem and end up having to return home after their visas have expired unless their potential employer offers visa sponsorship, which is not very common.
8. Taking classes pass/fail
Nobody says shit unless it's too late and then academic advisors chime in, "Oh why didn't you take the class pass/fail?" Because I DID NOT KNOW.
New students encounter this a lot especially with graduation course requirements that are not related to their majors. We end up barely passing calculus with a C- and then our GPA looks better left dead. It is unfair for many students who find out when it is too late and end up having a lowered GPA for a course that has NOTHING to do with their major.
Courses that are unrelated to one's major are available in pass/fail across many campuses. Don't forget to take advantage of this when in doubt.
9. Get I-20 signed before overseas travel
You don't want to be stuck in immigration especially with Donald Trump as president. So it is extremely important to have your I-20 signed and updated every time you decide to leave the country.
With Republicans pulling all the strings being an alien in the country with an un-updated I-20 might be dangerous and may put you at risk of deportation. Exactly the thing you want on your background check …
10. Living off campus
The bottom line is it's cheaper. College landlords take advantage of students because of housing proximities. The rent most students pay for a shared bedroom could rent a townhouse. Don't be fooled — unless drunk cat calls in the middle of the night is your thing, then do you by all means.
There are cheaper apartments available that are within close distance of bus routes that can take you directly to campus. Sometimes it may mean getting up earlier than usual, however sometimes it helps to choose money over convenience, especially in college.

It's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Melissa Block.
It has been an emotional 24 hours for the people of Moore, Oklahoma. Their city is now a federal disaster area, shattered by yesterday's deadly tornado. Meteorologists have confirmed that the tornado was a rare EF5, with winds in excess of 200 miles per hour. Entire neighborhoods are unrecognizable, trees splintered, houses gone.
SIEGEL: Oklahoma's state medical examiner says 24 people are confirmed dead, nine of them children. More than 100 people were found alive in the debris, according to the state highway patrol. This afternoon, Moore Fire Chief Gary Bird gave this detail about the search for survivors.
GARY BIRD: We will be through every damaged piece of property in this city at least three times before we're done, and we hope to be done by dark tonight.
BLOCK: Earlier today, President Obama reassured the people of Moore that their fellow Americans would stand with them for as long as it takes to rebuild.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: There are empty spaces where there used to be living rooms and bedrooms and classrooms, and in time, we're going to need to refill those spaces with love and laughter and community. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The Monterey Institute made its presence in the field of International Education Management felt at the recent NAFSA: Association of International Educators Region 12 conference in San Diego. Thirty-seven students, one staff and two faculty members from the International Education Management program attended the conference.
With record attendance, this conference offered professional training for international education practitioners in the areas of study abroad design and administration, training in international student immigration regulations and strategies for marketing and student recruitment. Students and faculty took the opportunity at the conference to deepen their knowledge of the field, expand professional networks, and identify organizations interested in hosting students during the professional practicum that is part of their master's degree program.
Eight Monterey Institute community members presented their research or facilitated sessions at the conference. They included:
- Juliet Tyson (MAIEM '14) and Anessa Escobar (MAIEM '14) "What's Up with Culture?"
- Kirsten Greene (MAIEM '13) and Alex Nichol (MAIEM'14) "Mentoring in International Education: Strategies for Success"
- Alisyn Henneck (MIIS staff member and MAIEM '13) "EducationUSA: Global Student Mobility Trends Go Local"
- Alisyn Henneck and MacKenzie Hizon (MATESOL '06) presenting "Building Your Institution's Brand: Using Video to Showcase the Student Experience"
- Jay Ward (MAIPS '83)) presenting "Professional Development Opportunities with the International Education Administrators Fulbright Program"
- , professor and IEM program chair also co-facilitated a nine-hour training on J-1 immigration regulations
"I really enjoyed attending the Region XII NAFSA conference in San Diego last week," says Chanel Bell (MAIEM/MPA '15). "Being new to the field, it was great to network with other professionals and learn about the topics affecting international education. I also appreciate how much support and encouragement the IEM faculty gave us in preparation for and throughout the conference. I am looking forward to attending the national conference next May."

Revision [24777]
This is an old revision of software made by coolpup on 2012-10-26 07:19:29.
Software PackagesSoftware disclaimer: absolutely no warranty given or implied, so use any software package entirely at your own risk and always have multiple copies of the current operating system before installing any package to it
Official software packages are available via the Puppy Package Manager:
- using the start menu: Menu > Setup > Puppy Package Manager
- using the command-line interface:
There are two main software package types, identified by their file extension:
- .pet (intended for all full and frugal Puppy installations)
- .sfs (intended for frugal or LiveDVD installations)
Other software package types:
- .tar.xz or .txz (intended for all full and frugal Puppy installations)
- .pup (obsolete; superseded by .pet)
Pre-requisite packages
Ensure that recent versions of the following packages are installed: +bzip2,+curl,+dosfstools,+e2fsprogs,+grep,+ntfs3g,+tar,+wget,+xz
Partition space
Since the installation of any software package involves occupying partition space, the installation will fail if there is not sufficient, free space on the target installation partition. Sometimes installing PET and TXZ packages to frugal Puppy installations requires the amount of free space inside the personal storage file to be at least 3 times the size of the package.
Download location
One needs to know to which location a software package has been downloaded to. If a Web browser is used for downloading, then it would need to be manually configured to the user's preference.
Installing PET software packages
Acquire (download) the relevant PET software package then, after downloading has finished, single-left-click on it, e.g. pidgin, wine
To reverse the process, i.e. to un-install PET software packages, go to the un-installing page.
Installing PET packages within frugal Puppy installations
- the software installation is only retained (or permanent) when it is installed after the creation of a personal storage save file. The software may be installed before the existence of a save file but the installation will be lost when shutting down or re-booting. A save file is created during the procedure of re-booting or shutting down for the very first time following a new, frugal Puppy installation.
- requires sufficient free space inside an already existing save file (the save file may need to be re-sized larger)
- after downloading a PET software package, single-left-click on it for automatic installation
Installing PET packages within full Puppy installations
No personal storage save files are involved. Download a PET software package; then single-left-click on it for automatic installation.
No personal storage save files are involved. Download a PET software package; then single-left-click on it for automatic installation.
Installing TXZ software packages
Download the file, extract the contents, and place the software package directory anywhere (and outside any personal save file).

Solmonese fears 2012 setback
Outgoing HRC president says community must fight for Obama
JOHN WRIGHT | Senior Political Writer
Joe Solmonese admits he's "very concerned" about President Barack Obama's prospects for re-election.
But Solmonese says he's equally concerned about how the LGBT community — and his successor at the Human Rights Campaign — would respond if Obama loses.
Solmonese will step down as president of HRC after seven years in March. On Saturday, Nov. 12, he'll make his final appearance as the group's president at the Black Tie Dinner, of which HRC is the national beneficiary.
In an interview last month with Dallas Voice, Solmonese focused largely on the importance of 2012 elections, saying that depending on their outcome, major advances during his tenure could be all but erased.
"I don't think that he's going to lose," Solmonese said at one point, attempting to clarify his assessment of Obama's chances. "I think that if everybody does what they need to do, I think there is just as good a chance that Barack Obama will be re-elected, but I'm as concerned that he could lose."
Solmonese said Republicans already have a majority in the House, Democrats have only a slim majority in the Senate, and "everything about these [2012] elections points to us having real challenges."
"I think that if everybody who has gained from the Obama administration does everything they need to do over the course of the next year, he'll get re-elected," Solmonese said. "But I would be lying if I said I'm not very concerned about the prospects of him getting re-elected."
Solmonese said the message he wants to send to the LGBT community is that Obama has done more for us than any other president, and that the movement has seen more gains under the current administration than at any other time in its history.
"If we care about continuing with the forward motion that we've experienced, then we as a community need to do everything possible to re-elect Barack Obama," Solmonese said. "And we can talk about and debate and press the administration on his ability to do more, and him coming out for marriage, or anything else that we want to talk about, but now is the time to sort of decouple that from all of the work we need to put into getting him re-elected. Because at the end of the day, it comes down to a choice, and the choice isn't even hard for me: It's Barack Obama or any of these other people who are running against him."
Despite his concerns about Obama's chances, Solmonese said he has no misgivings about leaving HRC seven months prior to Election Day. He said he made a commitment to give the organization six months notice, and his contract expires in March.
He said announcing his resignation at the end of August allowed HRC to begin the transition process, which will be completed when his successor takes over, midway through the Republican primary. Solmonese also said he'll continue to be involved with the organization through next year, assisting with its efforts around the November election.
"I'm a lot more concerned about what happens the morning after the elections," Solmonese said. "I'm a lot more concerned about this organization and its leader being in the best possible position to navigate those waters, and either we are contemplating a second term with Obama and a continuation of our agenda and perhaps a decidedly different Congress, or we're contemplating President Mitt Romney and all of the implications that means for our community, and I want whoever is in this seat leading this organization contemplating where we go from there, to have had some time under their belt to figure that out."
Asked whether that means he believes Romney will be the Republican nominee, Solmonese clarified that anyone claims to know definitively "doesn't' know what they're talking about" — but he added that he thinks the former Massachusetts governor is the "odds-on favorite."
And while Romney may appear less anti-gay than some other GOP presidential hopefuls, Solmonese said called him "someone you have to be careful of" because "he's essentially beholden to no issue."
"He adopts a position that works best for the political predicament he finds himself in," said Solmonese, a Massachusetts native who's watched Romney's political career closely. "So, while he was seemingly pro-gay as he attempted to unseat Ted Kennedy, and his rhetoric isn't harsh and he doesn't have the same sort of narrative that a Rick Santorum has, he's effectively said that he doesn't believe in the repeal of 'don't ask don't tell' and that he would support the federal marriage amendment. But what we don't know, just like we didn't really anticipate with [President] George [W.] Bush, is how beholden he is going to feel to the hard right once he becomes president."
It was Bush, of course, whose administration was pushing a federal marriage amendment when Solmonese joined HRC in 2005.
The marriage amendment, Solmonese said, represents the worst possible thing that could happen to the LGBT community, because it would enshrine discrimination into the Constitution.
And although the threat of the amendment may seem like a distant memory to some, Solmonese warned that it could easily resurface. Which is why, he said, the 2012 elections are the biggest challenge HRC faces going forward.
"I think the elections loom largest because what the elections really represent to me is the potential for us to really stop, potential derail and ultimately set back a lot of the progress that we've made," Solmonese said. "What also concerns me then is that the community be braced for that, and we understand that we've been in these places before, and the measure of who we are and how we'll be defined, is how we react in those moments, the degree to which we stay in the fight and make sure we continue to press forward regardless of the outcome of the election."
Solmonese said he fears the progress of the last several years may lead to complacency. And he said based on his experience, when the LGBT community suffers setbacks, instead of regrouping and uniting, people have a tendency to lose their way and point fingers.
"If we lose, if the outcome is negative, if we go from the march toward marriage equality and the repeal of DOMA and the positive direction that we've been in, to a president and a Congress who decide they're so troubled by all the success we're having with marriage they want to take up the fight again to pass the federal marriage amendment — well, boy, we've come full circle from where we were back in 2005, the last time that happened," he said.
"And you can react to that in one of two ways. You can say this is the inevitable ebb and flow of social change, so pull up your boot straps and let's get going and turn that around again — and understand that that sort of energy that the other side has around something like that is a reaction to their own fear of the progress we've made — or you can become very dispirited and depressed and disenfranchised and decide that it's our own doing, it's our own lack of progress, it's our own failing. And that would be the worst possible thing that we could do."
Caroline Rhea: From the hip
From her role as Noleta Nethercott on Del Shores' campy queer Texas-based sitcom Sordid Lives to taking over Rosie O'Donnell's talk show, Caroline Rhea has long has a strong connection to the gay community. This week, she breaks new ground again, becoming the first professional comedienne to serve as soup-to-nuts emcee for the Black Tie Dinner.
Rhea took a moment this week to discuss her involvement with the LGBT community, her Texas ties and her new (like her, Canadian) reality TV show.
Dallas Voice: You've always seemed to be close to the LGBT community. Where does that stem from? Rhea: I am not a direct member of the LGBT community, but I have had a BLT. In the Venn diagram of life, there is a lot of crossover between gay men and female comedians. It's a mutual lovefest.
How different is it to do a gay event like Black Tie vs. a comedy show on the road? The audience is much better looking.
For special events like this, do you bring your family? Not if it involves bringing a toddler on a plane.
What in you is fulfilled to do an event such as Black Tie Dinner? I want to support the LGBT community in all that they do.
If you were to rank all you do — acting, hosting, voiceovers, comedy, etc. — how do you rank your priorities? Motherhood first. Then comedy, and working with people that I like.
You have hosted a new reality competition series in your native Canada, Cake Walk: Wedding Cake Edition. How did you enjoy that? Did you get to taste the goods? Believe it or not, I didn't taste the cakes.
Will there be a same-sex couple on the show? I hope so.
How do you think that would fly with the show's audience? Same-sex marriage has been legal for years in Canada. It would be another beautiful wedding.
Having now worked with Del Shores on the Logo series Sordid Lives, how do you perceive Texas in general? Dallas in particular? Any misconceptions you had that were proven wrong? My dad's family was from Texas and my father looked like J.R. Ewing. I am not a fan of your toll roads and every time I am on the George Bush Turnpike I feel like I am going backwards.
—Arnold Wayne Jones
Taylor Dayne can't stop the music
More than 20 years after she packed the gay bar dance floors with her debut hits, the songstress is still going strong, and says her performance at Black Tie is a 'win-win' for her and her fans
Rich Lopez | Staff Writer
Helping out LGBT people is nothing new for singer Taylor Dayne.
She can't quite recall when she knew she was a hit with the gay community: Over the course of her 23-year career in pop music, she's played venues of all sizes, but she did notice early on how a certain fan base seemed to keep showing up.
"It's kinda hard to remember, but I would perform very specific shows and then some gay clubs and it dawned on me," she said.
With an explosive debut, thanks to her platinum selling 1988 debut Tell It To My Heart and the more sophisticated follow-up Can't Fight Fate a year later, Dayne became a quick force to be reckoned with on the charts.
But her pop hits were just as big on the dance floor, and Dayne was resonating across the queer landscape.
"I've had wonderful relationship with gay and lesbian fans for years. I'm so glad to be doing Black Tie because I have a great core of fan base here," she said. "It'll be a good show with lots of fun and for a good cause. It's a win-win."
Dayne's performed at gay bars and Pride events in Boston, Chicago and the Delaware Pride Festival. But appreciation of her work in the community was clearly evident in 2010 when she was asked to record "Facing a Miracle" as the anthem for the Gay Games.
"That was quite an honor and then they asked me to perform at the games," she said. "It was very emotional for me. The roar of the crowd was great."
Even after two decades, Dayne remains just as committed to music as she was in 1988. She's embraces her sort of "elder" status in pop music and instead of seeing the likes of Nikki Minaj and Katy Perry as rivals, she enjoys what they are bringing to the landscape of music now.
"I love listening to all the new stuff going on. There is some great talent out there. It's nice to know I was some inspiration to them, the way ladies like Debbie Harry and Pat Benatar were for me. The cycle goes on," Dayne said.
But they still push her to keep in the game. She admitted, "I'm pretty competitive that way."
This year, Dayne released the single, "Floor on Fire," which made it to the Billboard Dance/Club Charts Top 10.
At 49, Dayne doesn't show signs of slowing. Along with a rumored second greatest hits album, she recently wrapped up filming the indie movie Telling of the Shoes and she's a single mother to 9-year-old twins. Juggling it all is a mix of emotions, but her confidence pushes her through.
"I can say I'm a great singer, so when it comes to decisions, I'm fine about recording and performing," she said. "But I would say I work really hard at acting. It's nerve-wracking but it's also amazing. But I'm not a novice at any of this."
With her children, she doesn't make any pretenses about the difficulty of being both a musician and a mom — as long as she instills the proper principles in them.
"We don't try to get wrapped up in small time crap," she said. "At the end of day it's about having a good heart and they have great heart."
It's likely she'll show the same at Black Tie.
The 30th annual DFW Black Tie Dinner will be held Saturday night, Nov. 12, at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel. The event is already sold out.
Special guests at this year's dinner include Academy Award-winning actress Marlee Matlin as keynote speaker and Emmy Award-winning actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Media Award winner. Singer Taylor Dayne will perform.
Chet Flake and his late partner, Bud Knight, will be honored as recipients of the Raymond Kuchling Humanitarian Award, and gay military veteran Eric Alva, the first U.S. serviceman injured in the Iraq war and an advocate for repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," will received the Elizabeth Birch Equality Award.
Dinner organizers this year decided, for the first time, to bring in an emcee for the evening, choosing popular comedian Caroline Rhea.
This year also marks the final time that Joe Solmonese will attend the dinner as president of the Human Rights Campaign, the national beneficiary of Black Tie, which each year receives about half the proceeds of the event. Solmonese has resigned as head of HRC, effective next March.
Seventeen local HIV/AIDS and LGBT organizations have also been designated as beneficiaries.
Black Tie Dinner includes a silent auction, a live luxury auction and an after-party at the hotel.

Retinoblastoma is a rare type of cancer found in the eye. In retinoblastoma, one or more tumors form in the retina. The retina is a layer of light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye. It converts visual images into nerve impulses in the brain that allow us to see.
As with most cancers, early diagnosis and treatment lead to better outcomes.
|Retina of the Eye
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
During early stages of fetal development, fast-growing, immature cells called retinoblasts form. Later, these cells become retinal cells. In retinoblastoma, some of these cells quickly grow out of control. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably when new cells are not needed, a mass of tissue called a tumor grows. The cancer may grow along the optic nerve and reach the brain, or it may travel to other parts of the body.
It is not clear exactly what causes these problems in the cells, but it is probably a combination of genetics and environment.
Risk Factors
Retinoblastoma is more common in children under 5 years old. Other factors that may increase your child's chance of retinoblastoma include:
- Defect in retinoblastoma gene
- Family members with retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma usually forms only in one eye, but both eyes may have tumors. Symptoms are usually noticed by the parent or caregiver and may include, but are not limited to:
- Eyes do not look normal, often described as a glazed look or a "cat's eye."
- When a light is directed at the eye, the pupil looks white rather than red. This is often noticed on a photograph.
- Eyes may appear to be crossed or looking in different directions.
Less common symptoms may include:
- Eye may grow in size
- Eye pain
- Redness in the white part of the eye
- Excessive tearing
- Pupil may not respond to light
- Iris (colored part of the eye) changes color
- Double vision
|Normal Anatomy of the Eye
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The doctor will ask about symptoms and family medical history, and perform a physical exam. Many retinoblastomas are found during routine physical exams. If a tumor is suspected, your child will usually be referred to a specialist for a more complete eye exam. In children with a family history of the disease, eye exams often begin within 1-2 days of birth. Additional eye exams are scheduled at regular intervals thereafter.
Tests may include:
- Dilated eye exam—To examine the inside of the eye with a lighted instrument.
- Imaging test to evaluate the eye and surrounding tissue may include:
- Microscopic evaluation of the tumor
- Biopsies from surrounding area or bone marrow if the tumor might have spread
The physical exam combined with all of the test results, will help to determine the stage of cancer. Staging is used to guide your child's treatment plan. Like other cancers, retinoblastoma is staged from I-IV. Stage I is a very localized cancer, while stage IV indicates a spread to other parts of the body.
Treatment depends on the stage of the cancer. Treatment aims to cure the cancer and preserve sight.
Therapies may be used alone or in combination, and may include:
This involves surgical removal of the entire eye and as much of the optic nerve as possible. The optic nerve is the nerve leading from the eye to the brain that is responsible for vision. Surgery may be used for a large tumor in one eye.
Radiation Therapy
This treatment involves the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation may be:
- External—radiation directed at the tumor from a source outside the body
- Internal—radioactive materials placed into the body near the cancer cells
Cryotherapy is the use of cold to freeze and destroy small tumors.
This treatment uses heat to kill cancer cells.
Lasers are used to destroy a small tumor.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. This treatment may be given in many forms including pill, injection, and through a catheter. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body killing mostly cancer cells, but also some healthy cells.
Genetic counseling and close monitoring and screening for people at risk for retinoblastoma can help prevent the disease or detect it early if it occurs.
Prevention and early detection techniques include:
- Screening—Children born into families with a history of retinoblastoma should have regular eye exams to screen for development of the tumor. All children should have regular eye screening by their doctor.
- Genetic counseling—This may help determine a person's risk of developing retinoblastoma. If you have retinoblastoma or have a family history of the disorder, you can talk to a genetic counselor when deciding to have children.
- Monitoring for recurrence—People who have been treated for retinoblastoma require regular medical exams to assess the success of treatment and check for recurrence or bilateral disease.
- Monitoring for other cancers—Children with retinoblastoma are at increased risk for an associated brain tumor and other cancers in the body.

Reducing Your Risk of Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are a complex mix of several factors influenced by your environment, friends, and family. Because of this, there are no guidelines to prevent an eating disorder. However, having healthy attitudes toward food and your body can help with your awareness and self-esteem.
The following steps can help you develop such healthy attitudes:
- Maintain a healthy weight and body image.
- Maintain a rational approach to dieting, food, and exercise.
- Seek help if needed.
Maintain a Healthy Weight and Body Image
Work on developing and maintaining a healthy and realistic body image and weight. During the times when you feel fat, ask yourself if your life would really be much different if you were underweight. Would you automatically be more successful, popular, and loved? Realize that the things you want to achieve in life have little to do with being underweight and more to do with setting and achieving realistic goals. Remember that being thin does not equal being happy. Know that media images are not realistic and are designed in a manner for you to buy a product.
Maintain a Rational Approach to Dieting, Food, and Exercise
Do not diet, even if you need to lose weight. Rather, you need a meal plan that gives you adequate nutrition for health and normal growth. You can work toward a healthy weight by limiting your intake of high fat foods, sugar, and refined carbohydrates. You should also eat whole grains , fruits, vegetables , and protein . If you need help planning your diet, a registered dietitian can help.
Also, make sure you get regular, but not excessive, exercise. This can help you maintain a healthy weight. Aim for a minimum of 30 minutes a day on most days of the week.
Seek Help If Needed
Earlier recognition and treatment result in better outcomes. Talk to your doctor if you:
- Eat and feel like you are out of control
- Think your desire for thinness may be getting out of control
- Have feelings of anxiety that occur on more days than not for at least 6 months
- Have feelings of depression that last at least 2 weeks
- Think you may be developing an eating disorder
If you are being treated for a mental health disorder, follow your treatment plan.

A hernia occurs when a section of intestine protrudes through a weakness in the abdominal muscles. A soft bulge is seen underneath the skin where the hernia has occurred.
In babies, a hernia usually occurs in one of two places:
A hernia that occurs in the belly button area is called an umbilical hernia.
A hernia that occurs in the groin area is called an inguinal hernia.
A hernia can develop in the first few months after the baby is born because of a weakness in the muscles of the abdomen. Inguinal and umbilical hernias happen for slightly different reasons.
As a male fetus grows and matures during pregnancy, the testicles develop in the abdomen and then move down into the scrotum through an area called the inguinal canal. Shortly after the baby is born, the inguinal canal closes, preventing the testicles from moving back into the abdomen. If this area does not close off completely, a loop of intestine can move into the inguinal canal through the weakened area of the lower abdominal wall, causing a hernia.
Although girls do not have testicles, they do have an inguinal canal, so they can develop hernias in this area as well. Inguinal hernias do not occur as frequently among females as they do in males.
When the fetus is growing and developing during pregnancy, there is a small opening in the abdominal muscles so that the umbilical cord can pass through, connecting the mother to the fetus. After birth, the opening in the abdominal muscles closes as the baby matures. Sometimes, these muscles do not meet and grow together completely, and there is still a small opening present. A loop of intestine can move into the opening between abdominal muscles and cause a hernia.
Hernias occur more often in babies who have one or more of the following risk factors:
Inguinal hernias occur:
Umbilical hernias occur:
Occasionally, the loop of intestine that protrudes through a hernia may become stuck, and is no longer reducible. This means that the intestinal loop cannot be gently pushed back into the abdominal cavity. When this happens, that section of intestine may lose its blood supply. A good blood supply is necessary for the intestine to be healthy and function properly.
Hernias usually occur in newborns, but may not be noticeable for several weeks or months after birth.
Straining and crying do not cause hernias; however, the increased pressure in the abdomen can make a hernia more noticeable.
If the hernia is not reducible, then the loop of intestine may be caught in the weakened area of abdominal muscle. Symptoms that may be seen when this happens include the following:
The symptoms of a hernia may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your baby's doctor for a diagnosis.
Hernias can be diagnosed by a physical examination by your baby's doctor. Your baby will be examined to determine if the hernia is reducible (can be pushed back into the abdominal cavity) or not. Your baby's doctor may order abdominal X-rays or ultrasound to examine the intestine more closely, especially if the hernia is no longer reducible.
Specific treatment will be determined by your baby's doctor based on:
Inguinal hernia. An operation is necessary to treat an inguinal hernia. It may be surgically repaired fairly soon after it is discovered, since the intestine can become stuck in the inguinal canal. When this happens, the blood supply to the intestine can be cut off, and the intestine can become damaged. Inguinal hernia surgery is usually performed before this damage can occur.
During a hernia operation, your baby will be placed under anesthesia. A small incision is made in the area of the hernia. The loop of intestine is placed back into the abdominal cavity. The muscles are then stitched together. Sometimes, a piece of mesh material is used to help strengthen the area where the muscles are repaired.
A hernia operation is usually a fairly straightforward procedure. Otherwise healthy babies who have an inguinal hernia surgically repaired can often go home the same day they have the operation.
Umbilical hernia. By age 1, many umbilical hernias will have closed on their own without requiring surgery. Nearly all umbilical hernias will have closed without surgery by age 5.
Placing a coin or strap over the hernia will not fix it.
There are many opinions about when a surgical repair of an umbilical hernia is necessary. In general, if the hernia becomes bigger with age, is not reducible, or is still present after age 3, your doctor may suggest that the hernia be repaired surgically. Always consult your baby's doctor to determine what is best for your child.
During a hernia operation, your baby will be placed under anesthesia. A small incision is made in the umbilicus (belly button). The loop of intestine is placed back into the abdominal cavity. The muscles are then stitched together. Sometimes a piece of mesh material is used to help strengthen the area where the muscles are repaired.
Otherwise healthy babies who have an umbilical hernia surgically repaired may also be able to go home the same day they have the operation.
Once the hernia is closed, either spontaneously or by surgery, it is unlikely that it will recur. The chance for reccurrence of the hernia may be increased if the intestine was damaged.

There are thousands of varieties of mushrooms in North America, but only about 100 are poisonous and can be dangerous if eaten by humans. However, unless you are an expert at identifying mushrooms, it is difficult to tell a poisonous mushroom from one that is not poisonous. Children, particularly, are victims of mushroom poisoning.
Signs that a mushroom might be poisonous include the following:
The following are the most common symptoms of mushroom poisoning. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Early symptoms include feeling sick, stomach cramps, vomiting, and watery or bloody diarrhea. If your child has any of these symptoms, call your child's physician immediately.
Collect the mushroom your child was eating. Carefully dig up a few mushrooms, complete with underground parts, to help with the identification. If there is more than one kind of mushroom around your child, collect all of the different kinds.
Call your child's physician, the local poison control center, or the hospital emergency room. They will ask you questions about your child and give you appropriate instructions. Also, bring the mushrooms you have collected with you to the emergency room.
The physician will check the child's vital signs and consult a local mushroom expert to determine whether or not the mushroom is poisonous and whether any other treatment is necessary.

The available resources are grouped into different categories depending on what you want to do.
The best source for K-Meleon information is in the Documentation section. There is also the User's Guide and Reference Manual, both for K-Meleon 0.7 and last updated in 2003. Among the external K-Meleon resources you can find some links to other general K-Meleon pages.
The skinning tutorial shows you how to install a new skin that you have downloaded from the Themes page. You can also download older skins for 1.1.x & previous versions Old Skins. Extra Throbbers can be downloaded and used together with any skin or theme. The external K-Meleon resources page has links to skins and themes pages located throughout the web. To customize your Windows desktop or personal web page there is also a list of Icons, Buttons, and Banners for K-Meleon.
You can download translated versions of the K-Meleon menus from our Localization resource section. That is also the place where you should find links and pointers to help you localize the Mozilla part of K-Meleon.
This information is kept in the ConfigFiles. You can edit these files through the PreferencesDialog. Beginners should use caution when editing these files and it is helpful to create a test profile for extensive customization.
Much of K-Meleon's behaviour can be altered through the PreferencesDialog. Even more can be altered by editing the PrefsJS?, UserJS, UserChromeCSS? or UserContentCSS files directly. These files are read by the Mozilla/Gecko rendering engine. Further information is available in the following documents.
Macro Library
K-Meleon has a small MacroLanguage that allows you to extend K-Meleon's functionality. A set of ready made macro snippets are to be found in the Macro Library.
Non-official plugins are available here.
K-Meleon uses the same plug-in architecture as Netscape/Mozilla to interact with ThirdPartyPlugins. Extended information is available at mozdev.org - plugindoc.
You can, for instance, install and use an external bookmarks manager or an external cookies manager together with K-Meleon. Or you can use an external mouse gestures program. You can also use a download manager or miscellaneous tools like a tool to make K-Meleon your default browser or a password manager.
The skinning tutorial shows you which files to edit to make K-Meleon look the way you want. Visit the ThemeTools page to see a some of the recommended applications that can be used to help create K-Meleon themes.
If their licence allows, you can also try to adopt a Mozilla theme, Firefox theme or Opera skin.
To help develop K-Meleon you need to get your BuildTools and read some of the DeveloperDocs.
K-Meleon uses Gecko, the rendering engine from Mozilla.org, and should be detected as such. You should use K-Meleon to see how Gecko handles your pages, not how K-Meleon handles your pages. Gecko aims to be fully standards compliant. If K-Meleon fails to follow the standards due to limitations in Gecko (and thus is also visible in Mozilla and/or mfcEmbed) you should report your findings to bugzilla. If K-Meleon is the only browser that fails to follow the standards on a certain page, it should be reported to our bug database. Never ever try to get K-Meleon to "work around" bugs we have. Write standards complaint pages and let us know if we fail to handle them correctly. That's all.
On the Unofficial K-Meleons page you can find unofficial versions that could be interesting for you.
K-Meleon Extension Setup (KMES): On the K-Meleon Extension Setup pages you can find a description of this extension setup system and more interesting for the users, a lot of extensions (some Mozilla extensions, for example) adapted for K-Meleon.
K-Meleon Extensions Central: http://kmext.sourceforge.net is the place where you will find many of the popular mozilla xpi extensions modified to work with K-Meleon as well as many other non-xul extensions written especially for K-Meleon.

Central Mongolia
Key destinations: Khangai Mountains, Lake Ogii, UNESCO world heritage site "the Orkhon river valley", the celebrated Tuvkhun monastery, Genghis Khan's ancient capital at Karakorum and the famous Erdene Zuu monastery, beautiful Khogno Khan Mountains, Hustai National Park, And the beautiful sand dunes at Elsen Tasarkhai.
Karakorum introduction: A potent echo of the lost Mongol Empire, Karakorum was chosen as Genghis Khan's new capital in 1220, serving in this role for only four decades before Hubilai Khan moved the centre of state to his seat in Beijing. The city flowered again during Mongolia's 16th century Buddhist renaissance with the construction of Erdene Zuu monastery, an expansive monastery complex. In these post-empire and post-communism years, what remains of the monastery, and the older remnants of Karakorum, are in some ways a summation of all Mongolian history. Today Erdenezuu monastery still shows its glory with collections of many priceless religious objects and incredibly beautiful Mongolian arts. It has a massive square wall, 420 meters in length each side, 108 Stupas & 17 temples.
UVGUN KHIID monastery located in the mountains of (HUGNU-KHAN was built by the medieval religious figure Zanabazar who dedicated the mon astery to his teacher, The temple was one of his beloved ing its peak, the monastery served up to 1,000 lamas. In the 18th century Ovgon-Khiid became a bone of contention between Galdan Boshigt (Western Mongolia) and Zanabazar (Central Mongolia). The former was against Zanabazar's intention to submit to the Manchus.
The Orkhon river rises in the Khangai Mountain Range and flows 1,124 kilometers to join the Selenge river in Northern Mongolia and so to Lake Baikal. The main tributaries of the Orkhon river are the Tamir and Yeroo rivers which rise in the Khentii and Khangai mountain ranges.
