"We are resolved to rout out terror wherever it exists to save the world from freedom" (1/31/02)
From The Bush Dyslexicon by Mark Crispin Miller
From The Bush Dyslexicon by Mark Crispin Miller
"The call to proselytize remained as strong as ever, and by the 1940s when Billy Graham first took to the pulpit, fundamentalists were reemerging with new vigor. Graham soon became the public face of the community and all factions rallied around him- at least temporarily. A deep fault line reemerged in 1947, when theologian Carl F. Henry, who came to be closely associated with Graham, published The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism, in which he argued that fundamentalists needed to bring their faith to bear on contemporary culture.
The book was a bombshell dropped on the greater evangelical community... Henry's book drew an indelible line between the two traditions; now one was either a fundamentalist or an evangelical."[Monique El-Faizy, God And Country, Bloomsbury USA, 2006, pp 68-9]
"While they may no longer have been prevalent on a national level, fundamentalists continuted the all-important work of winning souls. All this time, evangelists were speaking to the faithful through Christian publications, radio, and television, enabling some of them to develop reputations far beyond their local areas and, in cases such as those of Robert Schuller and Oral Roberts, to attain considreable levels of fame even outside the Christian community. The fundamentalists eventually reemerged in the 1970s and 1980s..."[Monique El-Faizy, God And Country, Bloomsbury USA, 2006, p64]
"They may have been hiding in the shadows during their hiatus, but fundamentalists were anything but idle. During their absence from public life- what Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life director Luis Lugo calls 'the desert years'- fundamentalists were regrouping and setting up a robust world of their own. They built a dynamic alternate universe by constructing parallel institutions. There are now fundamentalist versions of just about every cultural and societal institution one can imagine, from colleges to publishing houses to grassroots political networks, a great many of which were started during that period."[Monique El-Faizy, God And Country, Bloomsbury USA, 2006, p64]
They also need to worry about the role the media will play if that occurs. Because if one of the enduring legacies of 9/11 has been this Administration's politicization of terror threats inside the United States, the media's lapdog hyping of the threats--its tendency to act as a megaphone instead of a filter, even in the wake of the Administration's clear record of distortion--is another. Too often anxious for access and too nervous about allegations of liberal bias (and, to be fair, somewhat constrained by the fact that the Administration often controls key information and decides how to disseminate it), news organizations remain much more willing to cheerlead terror warnings than seriously question them or put them in proper political context."
"The fifth anniversary of 9/11 prompts grief and sadness, but also anger. This country has endured a terrible failure of leadership. In the long run, we must free ourselves from the idea that the "war on terror" is an organizing principle for our foreign policy. In the short term, we need to change course."

President Obama's re-election campaign is releasing a video Thursday that looks back on the accomplishments of his first term. The documentary-style film, directed by Academy Award winner Davis Guggenheim and narrated by actor Tom Hanks, is likely to go viral, but such video tributes are far from new in presidential politics.
In 1952, a war hero named Eisenhower was running for president; his campaign decided it needed to reintroduce the former general to the American public. The film, with its grainy World War II footage and its shouting newsreel announcer, is really where the presidential biographical film got its start — at the dawn of the golden age of American television.
Since then, every nominee — and many a candidate who didn't get that far — has done some kind of biographical documentary-style film. Most of these films have come and gone, and created little buzz. They were shown at nominating conventions or maybe on TV, but in the pre-YouTube age, they weren't that easy for a voter to see.
Mostly the intent, especially for a nonincumbent, is simple: Meet the candidate.
Jimmy Carter's film featured music that could have doubled as the theme for The Rockford Files or Charlie's Angels. Its message: Carter is an outsider you can trust after the Watergate scandal.
Anne Johnston, a professor at the University of North Carolina and co-author of a book looking at how candidates use media techniques to sell their biography, says her favorite of these films is from President Nixon's re-election campaign in 1972. It highlights Nixon's success in opening up diplomatic relations with China, but it also shows something else.
"He's very — this is going to sound strange, but very human," Johnston says. "He's laughing with the Chinese translator. He's sort of teasing with her there. So it's Richard Nixon, if you're saying, playing against type, that's what I would say, is very, very comfortable with television, which of course, Nixon was not."
Among the most memorable of these films was one shown during the Democratic convention in 1992. Forty years earlier, the Eisenhower campaign unveiled The Man from Abilene. The campaign of candidate Bill Clinton drew inspiration from that.
Mark McKinnon, a veteran political media adviser who was the media adviser for both of George W. Bush's presidential campaigns, says Clinton's film worked so well because it told a very human story.
"I think it was important in terms of that storytelling to tell a story that a lot of Americans can relate to, to say, you know, 'Boy, this is a guy who could be president but met some of the very same challenges that I did or my family did, or friends that I know did,' " he says.
McKinnon made two of these films for Bush. The first was an introduction to a candidate who, even though he was a governor and the son of a president, was not that well-known. Four years later, for the Bush re-election, it was all about the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and how the president responded to the crisis. It included scenes of the president at ground zero, and it ended with the uplifting moment of Bush throwing out the pitch at the World Series in Yankee Stadium six weeks later.
A new film is added to the library Thursday: It's 17 minutes long. A preview was released online last week.
It's coming out early — a strategic move to get the president's narrative out there. As for exposure, today's films can zip around the Web, finding an audience and being played at campaign events and in college dorms and on smartphones and all kinds of ways that the man from Abilene couldn't begin to imagine.
Even as the primary campaign continues, Republicans regularly take aim at the president. Independent groups have also run ads. A group called the American Future Fund describes itself as favoring free enterprise, and has run ads ripping the president for his ties to Wall Street.
Tonight, the Obama campaign premiers its own video online, a documentary-style ad. Tom Hanks narrates, and it's directed by Davis Guggenheim, who got an Oscar for the Al Gore film "An Inconvenient Truth."
Movie-style tributes are far from new in presidential politics. NPR's Don Gonyea has a history.
DON GONYEA, BYLINE: It was 1952, and a war hero was running for president.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: The man from Abilene, out of the heartland of America, out of this small frame house in Abilene, Kansas, came a man, Dwight D. Eisenhower...
GONYEA: This film, with its grainy World War II footage and its shouting newsreel announcer, is really where the presidential biographical film got its start.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: Through the crucial hour of historical D-Day, he brought us to the triumph and piece of VE-Day. Now another crucial hour in our history...
GONYEA: Since then, these films, shown on TV and at nominating conventions, have become a staple of presidential campaigns. Jimmy Carter's film was about an outsider from Georgia. Much of it was shot on the farm. The candidate wore a plaid shirt. The post-Watergate message was clear: This was a guy you could trust.
PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER: We've always worked for a living. We know what it means to work.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: And it was the working people, not the special interests, that Jimmy Carter represented as governor of the largest state east of the Mississippi.
GONYEA: Often there's an attempt to humanize the candidate. In a 1972 bio for the Nixon re-election campaign, the focus was on the breakthrough in diplomacy with China. In the midst of that, the film cuts to this moment featuring Nixon teasing his interpreter.
PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON: I express my appreciation to my Chinese voice, to Mrs. Chung(ph). I listened to her translation. She got every word right.
GONYEA: One of the most memorable of these films premiered at the Democratic convention in 1992.
PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON: I was born in a little town called Hope, Arkansas three months after my father died. I remember living in that old two story house where I lived with my grandparents. And I remember going to my grandfather's grocery store and...
GONYEA: Mark McKinnon, a media veteran who worked on George W. Bush's presidential campaigns, says that Bill Clinton movie worked because it told a very human story.
MARK MCKINNON: I think it was important to tell a story that a lot of Americans can relate to, to say, you know, boy, this is a guy who could be president, but met some of the very same challenges that I did or some of my family did. So it gave a real sense that Bill Clinton was a man of the people because he'd gone through very similar struggles.
GONYEA: McKinnon made biographical films for the two George W. Bush campaigns. The first basically introduced a candidate who, despite being a governor and a president's son, was not well known by many Americans. Four years later, for the Bush re-election, it was a very different kind of film.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you, and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.
GONYEA: Today, a new one is added to the list. It's 17 minutes long. A trailer was released last week by the Obama campaign. You hear the voice of Tom Hanks.
TOM HANKS: How do we understand this president and his time in office?
GONYEA: Releasing it this early gets the president's version of events out there while the GOP hopefuls are still beating each other up. You hear from White House aides.
DAVID AXELROD: What was described in that meeting was an economic crisis beyond anything anybody had imagined.
GONYEA: As for exposure, today a video can zip around the world instantly on the Web and on smartphones, reaching audiences just about anywhere at any time and in all kinds of ways that the man from Abilene couldn't begin to imagine.

By: Orville Hall
The USA's campaign began with a bang in Bermuda last week, as they made light work of Heavyweight Nepal in the first game, beating them by 94 runs. Opener Steven Taylor took a liking to Nepal's bowling, even though it was a small ground, as he pummeled 12 fours and 12 sixes in an innings of 164 off 102 balls. He was ably supported by Orlando Baker, and the pair put on 125 runs for the first wicket. Timroy Allen chipped in with 67 not out, and at the end of 50 overs, the USA had amassed a mammoth total of 366 for 6. This would be a very challenging score for Nepal to overtake and they were all out for 272, and the USA won by 94 runs; Neil McGarrell took 3 for 42. Then it was on to Italy, who didn't fare much better, as the USA rattled up 254 for 8. Sushil Nadkarni topscored with 73, and Timroy Allen got past 50 for the second time in as many games, to finish on 51 not out. Steve Massiah also made 51. Steady bowling from McGarrell, 4 for 44, and Elmore Hutchinson, 3 for 44, restricted Italy to 180 and the USA won by 74 runs. After a rest day on Tuesday, it was on to Oman on Wednesday, and after Oman batted first and scored 175, the USA found themselves struggling, as they lost wickets at regular intervals, but it would be up to Rashard Marshall, who played a classy knock to finish on 72 not out, to see the USA home by 2 wickets. Having won their first three games, the USA was in the "driver's seat". Win one out of the next two games, and their ticket would be booked to the 2014 WCQ in New Zealand in 2014. What happened over the next three days would stun even the most ardent supporters. In the game against Uganda on Thursday, the USA bowled a tidy length to restrict Uganda to 175 runs. With an asking run rate of a mere 3.51 per over, no one in the USA camp would have been prepared for what was to come. The USA found the going tough against the Uganda spinners, as they struggled all the way through the innings to finish with a disappointing 93 runs off 39.1 overs, and Uganda had won by 82 runs. Only 3 USA batsmen got into double figures; Steve Massiah topscored with 24, Japen Patel got 20 and Elmore Hutchinson, batting at number 10, saved further embarrassment by getting 17 not out. The USA loss by 82 runs. Even after this game was over, the USA had another chance to move ahead; defeat Bermuda on Saturday, and they would be on to New Zealand in 2014, but a disastrous start to the USA innings, losing the first two wickets with only 20 runs on the board, would mean a massive rebuilding effort by those who were coming next. Akeem Dodson, playing in his first match, and the veteran Orlando Baker set about to do just that, as the pair added 82 runs for the third wicket, and appeared to have put the USA back on track, but wickets fell regularly after that partnership, and the USA scrambled to 220 for 9 off their allotted 50 overs. Would this be enough? It certainly wasn't, as Bermuda set about the task very methodically, and was able to surpass the USA's score in 44.4 overs, while losing only 5 wickets. The USA's lethargic play in the final two games ensured that Nepal and Uganda would go on to the World Cup Qualifier in 2014, and the USA would remain in Division 3. The USA did beat Bermuda in a consolation game earlier today, playing for 3rd. place, but it would be too little too late to change any of the outcomes. The USA's next senior tournament will be the T20 Qualifier in Dubai later this year. The biggest disappointment for the USA might have been the batting of Star Opening Batsman Steven Taylor. Taylor started his first match by scoring 162. However, in the next four matches, he would get a total of 15 runs, to finish the tournament with 177 runs. He did attempt to redeem himself in the 3rd. place game against Bermuda today, with a topscore of 97. Taylor still managed to finish at the top of the table with 177 runs, while Sushil Nadkarni finished second with 138 runs. The top bowler for the USA was Neil McGarrell who finished with 12 wickets, and Elmore Hutchinson took second place with 8.

Debate duo from Emporia State nabs national tournament titleMarch 28, 2013
Two senior debaters for Emporia State University took first place Tuesday in the Cross Examination Debate Association national tournament. Ryan Wash of Kansas City, Mo.; and Elijah Smith of Newark, N.J., bested a team from the University of West Georgia in what is being called an historic championship.
"The final round participants were Damiyr Davis and Miguel Feliciano from the University of West Georgia who were participants of the New York Urban Debate League," explained Sam Maurer, Emporia State debate coach. "Ryan was a member of the Debate-Kansas City, the Kansas City Urban Debate League, and Elijah was a member of the Jersey Urban Debate League. So all participants in the final round were students of color and graduates of the Urban Debate Leagues all over the country.
"The debate also centrally focused on issues of environmental justice and how judges evaluate stories of loss. It was historic because of who was in the debate and what they had to say," Maurer said, adding that the round was "generally just a high-quality debate."
Wash also was named top speaker at CEDA; Smith was named No. 11 speaker.
"I am overwhelmingly proud of these debaters, this team, our coaches, our alums, and Emporia State University," said Maurer. "Words cannot express how excited I am right now. In fact, I'm not even sure my head is completely around it yet. We spent spring break in King Hall, and after about 45 hours of competition in four days, everything is a blur anyway so the trophy sitting next to me still doesn't seem real.
There has been little rest for the coach and Wash, a senior communications major, and Smith, a sophomore social science major. The team left the CEDA tournament at Idaho State University in Pocatello, after Tuesday's win and headed to Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, for the National Debate Tournament, which began today and continues through Monday, April 1.
Previously, Emporia State's best showing at CEDA came in 1993 when the school was named sweepstakes champion. The team that year included Maurer.
Last year, Wash debated with LaToya Williams-Green at both CEDA and NDT. Their team placed third at CEDA and ninth at NDT in 2012.
Unlike other college competitions, debate does not distinguish schools by size or other qualifying factors. Emporia State debaters square off against teams from schools across the country like Harvard, University of Southern California, University of Kansas, Emory University, University of Michigan.
"We are incredibly proud to be able to win this honor for Emporia State University," Maurer said. "The debate team is continually inspired by the teachers they work with, the other students they meet, and the leadership of this university. ESU deserves this championship.
"And while many of the folks who work for the university were not with us in Idaho for this special moment, they all played a part in our victory. Whether it be a teacher who inspired a new argument during class, Cheryl Wooderson for cutting our travel checks, President Shonrock for inspiring the whole campus with his passion for the growth of this university or Dr. Steve Catt for creating and maintaining a warm home for debate in the Communication and Theatre Arts Department, this is truly a victory we share with the whole ESU family."
The team will be posting updates from the NDT on its Facebook page (http://on.fb.me/WZxeiv) and its Twitter account (@DebateEmporia).

Blacken is a Java library for Roguelike development. It supports arbitrarily resizing the window. It maintains a "preferred size", changing the font size as needed. By default, all applications support Alt-Enter for fullscreen mode. It strives to support Unicode well. A cell contains a sequence of codepoints. Codepoints may be outside the Basic Multilingual Plane or zero-width accents. All key input consists of valid Unicode codepoints. Special keys are handled by codepoints in "private use" planes. Modifier keys are handled through a prefix character (like Unix systems handle Alt via the Escape character).
Crossfire Extended Release is an extended version of Crossfire, a rogue-like 2D RPG, simulation, and graphical online chatroom. It features vast expanses and numerous cities, each with its own theme, deeply hidden worlds that very few ever venture to, flatworlds peeled off from the earth through hidden seas, and underground expanses. People can buy and build houses, towns, towers. There is a post office, banks, guilds. Boats one can own, castles one can rule over, forever, as a king. There is a weather simulation.
LambdaRogue is a rogue-like role playing game set in a strange underworld. Men and the species of Drekh'nar once lived peacefully together on Earth, both not far away from reaching the stars with spaceships. A misunderstanding led to war before these dreams could be realized. After a long and bloody battle, a peace treaty was created, forcing mankind to go underground. Mankind has lost the most of its technological knowledge, but Ahna, a priestess, is searching for the Book of Stars, which could bring humans back to the surface and beyond. And you are Ahna's agent.
Hydra Slayer is a Roguelike game focused on one thing: slaying Hydras. It is inspired by mathematical puzzles about brave heroes slaying many-headed beasts. Since each weapon can only cut off a specific number of heads (no more, no less), and then the Hydra regrows some of the lost heads, to defeat each Hydra, you need to find the sequence of attacks which kills it in the least number of wounds. Hydra Slayer also features divisor weapons, blunt weapons to stun heads, missiles, and shields, and a number of other magical items which are unique to this game.

Seminar coordinator for AY 2017-2018: Prof. Ryan Sriver (firstname.lastname@example.com)
The role of cloud-top convection and precipitation banding within cold-season midlatitude cyclones is examined here. High resolution remote sensing and in-situ observations of cyclones and these embedded structures were made during the 2009-10 Profiling Of Winter Storms (PLOWS) field campaign, using instrumentation aboard the National Center for Atmospheric Research C-130 aircraft. Vertical profiles within the cyclones' comma-head regions and horizontal passes across these regions provided detailed observations from multiple perspectives. The primary datasets used here include in-situ measurements of hydrometeor size, shape and phase obtained using a variety of optical array and forward-scattering cloud probes, and profiles of structural characteristics obtained using the University of Wyoming Cloud Radar and Lidar.
Cellular convection with approximate horizontal scales of a kilometer was consistently present at cloud top throughout the PLOWS cyclones, with the strongest vertical motions confined to cloud top. Supercooled water was commonly observed at cloud top at temperatures as low as -25 °C in association with this convection. The convective cells generated fall streaks of ice particles, which merged in some instances into larger-scale precipitation bands embedded within the cyclones' warm-frontal and wraparound regions. Altitude-averaged in situ measurements (particle size, concentration, mass content) for several PLOWS cases were broadly consistent with generation near cloud top and growth by aggregation and diffusion with depth in cloud, with larger particle concentrations evident within precipitation bands. The impacts of these findings on the understanding of convective generating cells, precipitation banding, and the overall precipitation structure of midlatitude cyclones will be discussed.

I chucked my job, my wife and my cosy life in safe suburban England to follow my passion for filming reality porn of young twinks with the bubbliest butt I could find on my prowl of the streets and subways of Eastern Europe. Each is painstakingly plucked precisely for the primeness of his rump, eventually getting them to bare their young fleshy ass for cash while I spank and fuck them. Lovers of pert young ass really will find no compromise on the bubble of the butt found in the hidden treasures of these galleries.

- Once this is done, our experts check and clean all the duct lines. At this stage, we employ vent covers to ensure your rooms don't get dirty while we work on your ducts.

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), diseases caused by smoking kill more than 440,000 people in the United States each year; of that number, more than 135,000 deaths are cardiovascular related. Even with antismoking campaigns and medical disclaimers in place, many people continue to smoke or start smoking every year. According to the American Cancer Society, 90 percent of new smokers are children and teenagers, in many cases, replacing the smokers who quit or died prematurely from a smoking-related disease.
Smokers not only have increased risk for lung disease, including lung cancer and emphysema, but also have increased risk for heart disease, stroke, and oral cancer.
In posing health risks on the body's cardiovascular system, smoking:
In addition, smoking has been associated with depression and psychological distress.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that an estimated 46,000 nonsmokers die from coronary heart disease each year as a result of exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke. Secondhand smoke is smoke that is exhaled by smokers and smoke emitted from the burning end of a lit cigarette, cigar, or pipe.
Both direct and indirect smoking exposure poses significant health hazards to pregnant women, infants, and young children. Children and infants exposed to tobacco smoke are more likely to experience ear infections and asthma, and are at a higher risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than children and infants without the same exposure.
The following common symptoms may be associated with exposure to secondhand smoke. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of secondhand smoke may resemble other medical conditions and problems. Always consult a health care provider for a diagnosis.
Smoking, in addition to high cholesterol, high blood pressure, physical inactivity, obesity, and diabetes tops the list as a primary risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In fact, smoking has been classified as the single most preventable cause of premature death in the United States.
According to the American Heart Association, eliminating smoking not only reduces the risk for coronary heart disease, but also reduces the risk for repeat heart attacks and death by heart disease by 50 percent. Research also indicates that smoking cessation is crucial in the management of many contributors to heart attack, including atherosclerosis, thrombosis, coronary artery disease, and cardiac arrhythmias.
Quitting smoking is both a mental and a physical undertaking. Mentally, you should be ready and relatively stress-free. Physically, you need to commit to exercising daily and getting plenty of sleep. A person trying to quit must overcome two obstacles: a physical addiction to nicotine and a habit. The National Cancer Institute offers the following tips to help users quit using tobacco products:
In some cases, smokers benefit from nicotine replacement products to help break their smoking habit. Nicotine replacement products continue to give smokers nicotine to meet their nicotine craving. However, the benefit of nicotine replacement products is the elimination of tars and poisonous gases that cigarettes emit. Pregnant or nursing women and people with other medical conditions should consult with their physician before using any nicotine replacement products. Some examples of nicotine replacement products include:
Zyban, a non-nicotine alternative to help people stop smoking, is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Offered in pill form to smokers who want to quit, Zyban, has been shown to alter mood transmitters in the brain that are linked to addiction. Zyban must be prescribed by a health care provider and may not be appropriate for everyone. Consult your health care provider for more information.
Chantix is also a non-nicotine pill to help in smoking cessation. It was approved recently by the FDA. It targets the nicotine receptors in the brain. Chantix attaches to the receptors and blocks nicotine from reaching them, decreasing the desire for nicotine. Chantix may not be appropriate for everyone and you should consult your health care provider.

The doctor will ask about your symptoms, medical history, and risk factors. A physical exam will be done. If you have risk factors for HIV or the doctor suspects you may be infected with the virus, tests can be taken. Since HIV infection can exist without any symptoms, it is important to be tested. Testing is especially important if you are engaged in behavior that increases your risk for infection, such as unprotected sex or drug use.
HIV tests include:
- Rapid testing through a saliva test. Results can be ready within a half hour.
- ELISA or Western blot tests—Blood tests to determine if the immune system has recognized the HIV virus.
- HIV RNA assay—To detect the HIV virus itself.
Blood tests are the only way to be absolutely sure of the diagnosis. These tests will need to be done even if a rapid test is positive. A correct diagnosis is important because it will start the treatment process.
HIV can progress to AIDS. The presence of AIDS is suggested if:
- A type of white blood cell called helper T cells drop below 200 cells per cubic millimeter of blood.
- Helper T cells are less than 14% of all lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell).
- Certain illnesses are present, such as Kaposi sarcoma or a pneumocystis pneumonia. These illnesses only occur with compromised immune systems.

HOUSTON -- The outlook for the global hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) is upbeat. Global spending is expected to exceed $279 billion in 2014, and spending in the US alone is forecast to reach nearly $78 billion.
The publisher and editors of Hydrocarbon Processing released this information at the magazines 40th annual HPI Forecast and Breakfast, held Friday at the River Oaks Country Club in Houston. The $279 billion in overall spending is up nearly 15% from $244 billion in 2013.The newfound optimism in the global HPI stems from the increased availability of natural gas supplies in several nations, the rich shale reserves in North America, and a new expansion wave for petrochemicals. The petrochemical outlook is especially strong in North America, supported by low gas pricing, and the Middle East, where new units are coming online. Both regions are poised to expand petrochemical production capacity to supply growing demand via increased exports.
The forecast breaks out capital spending to reach $77.7 billion, maintenance spending to reach $82.7 billion and operating spending to exceed $119.1 billion.
When broken out by sector, spending in the petrochemical sector is forecast to hit $137.3 billion, refining expenditures will approach $104.2 billion and gas processing spending will be $38 billion.
Each year, company leaders rely on the information from the HPI Market Data book to refine their marketing strategies, recognize emerging trends and discover new opportunities and areas of growth.
The expanding economies of non-Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) nations, including Brazil, China, India and Russia, are driving new energy demand. Incentivized to meet this need for energy, producing nations are taking advantage of new natural gas reserves, less expensive feedstocks, and investment in new units and construction projects.
Due to its abundant shale reserves, North America is particularly well-positioned to become self-sufficient in energy over the next two decades. The US is also anticipated to become a net exporter of natural gas'>liquefied natural gas (LNG) within the next few years.
"Many market conditions and trends are converging to support the uplift of the hydrocarbon processing industry, said Stephany Romanow, editor of Hydrocarbon Processing.
The downstream is re-energized. Investment is ongoing on a global basis. This project activity focuses on new capacity, along with efforts to increase plant and equipment reliability, safety, energy efficiency and more."

(Femoropopliteal Bypass-Open, PTA, Balloon Angioplasty)
Femoral popliteal (also called femoropopliteal) bypass surgery is a surgical procedure that may be used to treat severe blockage due to plaque in the femoral artery. A newer, minimally-invasive procedure is percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of the femoral arteries.
The femoral and popliteal arteries are located in the legs. Their function is to supply oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to the legs. Femoral and popliteal arteries are called peripheral arteries because of their location away from the center of the body. Disease of the arteries of the limbs (particularly the legs and feet) is referred to as peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is generally associated with blocked arteries of the legs. The blockage most often is the result of a chronic buildup of hard fatty material (atherosclerosis) into the inside lining of the arterial wall of the legs. This ultimately narrows and blocks the flow of blood which carries oxygen and nutrients to the limb. The femoral and popliteal arteries are the major arterial blood supply to the lower extremities and are a common location for atherosclerotic disease to develop.
The presence of atherosclerosis in the leg arteries is a strong indicator that there is also atherosclerosis in the arteries of the heart and brain, because atherosclerosis is a widespread disease of the arteries. Atherosclerosis of the leg arteries may cause a blockage, obstructing blood flow, and potentially result in pain in the leg(s), ulcers or wounds that do not heal, and/or the need for amputation (surgical removal) of a foot or leg. Therefore, PAD has two major complications associated with its presence: limb complications (nonhealing wounds, ulcers, gangrene, loss of a limb) and risk for stroke and/or heart attack.
Peripheral arterial disease caused by atherosclerosis may be present with symptoms or without symptoms. The presence of symptoms may depend on the degree to which blood flow to the leg muscles has been decreased. Symptoms may range from mild to moderate to severe.
The most common symptom of peripheral arterial disease is called intermittent claudication. Claudication refers to limping because of pain in the thigh, calf, and/or buttocks that occurs when walking. The pain or discomfort of claudication starts with walking or exercise and stops with rest. Walking or exercise increases the demand for oxygen and nutrients needed for the leg muscles to do work. Decreased blood flow through the affected artery of the leg(s) due to narrowing or occlusion (blockage) decreases the amount of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and may result in pain. This symptom is reproducible (the same exercise, at the same pace, and the same distance, will reproduce the same symptom), which is helpful in diagnosing the condition.
Just as chest pain or angina of the heart can signal a heart attack, intermittent claudication may be considered as "angina of the legs" and may indicate lack of blood flow to the legs. Other symptoms of peripheral arterial disease may include, but are not limited to, the following:
The most severe symptom of peripheral arterial disease caused by atherosclerosis is called critical limb ischemia (lack of oxygen to the limb/leg at rest). Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is defined as pain in the leg(s) while at rest, or "rest pain." CLI is also associated with the breakdown of tissues (muscle or skin) in the form of ulcers or gangrene in the limb, which may occur because blood flow to the limb is so decreased that the basic needs of the limb for oxygen and nutrients are not being met. Critical limb ischemia may include some or all of the symptoms of peripheral arterial disease as well.
Because peripheral arterial disease is associated with the two other major atherosclerotic conditions, coronary artery disease (heart disease) and cerebrovascular disease (stroke), treatment may range from management of risk factors to surgical procedures. The same risk factors that may contribute to a heart attack or stroke are the same for peripheral arterial disease. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
There are two procedures used to treat PAD of the femoral arteries. The standard surgical procedure is femoral popliteal bypass surgery (fem-pop bypass), while a newer minimally invasive endovascular intervention is called percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of the femoral artery.
Reasons a femoral popliteal bypass surgery or PTA of the femoral artery may be performed include, but are not limited to, the following:
Not all peripheral arterial disease can be treated with PTA. Your doctor will decide the best treatment of your PAD based on your individual circumstances.
There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend femoral popliteal bypass surgery or PTA.
As with any surgical procedure, complications can occur. Some possible complications may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Patients who are allergic to or sensitive to medications, contrast dyes, iodine, shellfish, or latex should notify their doctor.
There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor prior to the procedure.
Femoral popliteal bypass surgery and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the femoral artery require a stay in the hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your doctor's practices.
Generally, femoral popliteal bypass surgery follows this process:
Generally, a PTA of the femoral artery procedure follows this process:
After the procedure you will be taken to the recovery room for observation. Once your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing are stable and you are alert, you may be taken to the intensive care unit (ICU) or your hospital room.
Your pulses below the surgical site will be checked frequently to assist in monitoring blood flow to the limb. Your leg will also be monitored for color (pale or pink), warmth (coolness), sensations of pain, and movement.
The surgical incision may be tender or sore for several days after the procedure. Take a pain reliever for soreness as recommended by your doctor.
You may be on special IV medications to help your blood pressure and your heart, and to control any problems with bleeding. As your condition stabilizes, these medications will be gradually decreased and discontinued as your condition allows.
Your diet will be advanced to solid foods as tolerated.
When your doctor determines that you are ready, you will be moved from the ICU to a post-surgical nursing unit. Your recovery will continue to progress. Your activity will be gradually increased as you get out of bed and walk around for longer periods of time.
Arrangements will be made for a follow-up visit with your doctor.
After the procedure you will be taken to the recovery room for observation. Once your blood pressure, pulse, and breathing are stable and you are alert, you may be taken to the intensive care unit (ICU) or your hospital room.
You should immediately inform your nurse if you feel any chest pain or tightness, or any other pain, as well as any feelings of warmth, bleeding, or pain at the insertion site in your leg or arm.
The nurse will assist you the first time you get up. You should move slowly when getting up from the bed to avoid any dizziness from the long period of bed rest.
You may be given pain medication for pain or discomfort related to the insertion site or having to lie flat and still for a prolonged period.
Your diet will be advanced to solid foods as tolerated.
Your hospital stay will depend on your condition and the results of your procedure. You will receive detailed instructions for your discharge and recovery period.
Arrangements will be made for a follow-up visit with your doctor.
Once you are home, it will be important to keep the surgical area clean and dry. Your physician will give you specific bathing instructions.
You may be advised not to participate in any strenuous activities. Your doctor will instruct you about when you can return to work and resume normal activities.
Your doctor may want you to continue on specific medications, such as aspirin or clopidogrel (Plavix), after the procedure.
Your doctor may perform ultrasound examination(s) on your leg after surgery to monitor the new graft.
Notify your doctor to report any of the following:
Your doctor may give you additional or alternate instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation.
Once at home, you should monitor the insertion site for bleeding, unusual pain, swelling, and abnormal discoloration or temperature change at or near the insertion site. A small bruise is normal. If you notice a constant or large amount of blood at the site that cannot be contained with a small dressing, notify your doctor.
If your doctor used a closure device for your insertion site, you will be given specific information regarding the type of closure device that was used and how to take care of the insertion site. There will be a small knot, or lump, under the skin, where the insertion site was. This is normal. The knot should gradually disappear over a few weeks.
It will be important to keep the insertion site clean and dry. Your doctor will give you specific bathing instructions.
You may be advised not to participate in any strenuous activities. Your doctor will instruct you about when you can return to work and resume normal activities.
Notify your doctor to report any of the following:
Your doctor may give you additional or alternate instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation.

Mercy Clinic has announced plans to open a permanent clinic, called Mercy Clinic at OC, on the campus of Oklahoma Christian University. The clinic is expected to open in early 2013.
Dr. Melinda Cail will serve as the clinic's medical director. A 1996 Oklahoma Christian graduate, Dr. Cail is the daughter of James Cail, a beloved psychology professor who taught more than 30 years at Oklahoma Christian before retiring in 2003.
"We remember what it's like to live on campus," Dr. Melinda Cail said. "Students have enough to worry about, so we want to make health care as simple as it can be – and part of that is geography. We want to bring health care within walking distance for these students."
Kendall Phillips, certified physician assistant, will be the primary provider for the clinic. The clinic will provide a convenient location for students to receive services such as sutures, flu shots, sports physicals, breathing treatments, and general primary care for everyday conditions.
The clinic will be located on campus at 2801 E. Memorial Rd., Suite 140. Until then, students can schedule appointments at nearby Mercy Clinic Edmond Memorial, located at 1919 E. Memorial Rd., by visiting the welcome desk outside the Office of Student Life or by calling (405) 425-6100.
Mercy is the sixth largest Catholic health care system in the U.S. and serves more than 3 million people annually. Mercy includes 31 hospitals, nearly 300 outpatient facilities, 38,000 co-workers and 1,700 integrated physicians in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Mercy also has outreach ministries in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. For more about Mercy, visit www.mercy.net.

text: Track history: Richmond International Raceway (RIR) started out in 1946 as a 1/2-mile dirt oval. The first NASCAR Cup Series event was held there 7 years later. The track was finally paved in 1968. The facility's present configuration was constructed in September 1988. It is now a 3/4-mile 'D' shaped asphalt oval with banking of 14 degrees allowing the cars to average 125 mph laps.In 1991, lights were installed around the track and since then, all racing at Richmond is "under the lights."RIR is almost completely surrounded by grandstand seats. In May 2007, the new TORQUE Club and Commonwealth Grandstand opened to the public. After the September 2006 race, about 3,000 of the low-row seats were removed and the 180-foot high structure was built. This gave the Raceway a gain of almost 5,000 seats, bringing the seating capacity to 112,029.Track Quick Facts (courtesy NASCAR Media):Last five winners: Kevin Harvick 9/10/11, Kyle Busch 4/30/11, Denny Hamlin 9/11/10, Kyle Busch 5/1/10 and Clint Bowyer 9/8/12.First Cup start here (Active drivers): Jeff Fuller 3/8/92 and Jeff Green 9/10/94.First Cup pole: Bobby Labonte 9/11/93, Ted Musgrave 3/6/94 and Brian Vickers 5/15/04.First Cup win: Tony Stewart 9/11/99 and Kasey Kahne 5/14/05.April 19, 1953: Buck Baker qualified the No. 87 Griffin Motors '53 Oldsmobile on the pole for the 1953 Richmond 200 with a lap of 48.465 mph on the half-mile dirt track. He finished third to race winner, Lee Petty. Petty, father of Richard Petty, won $1000 for putting his 1953 Petty Enterprises Dodge up front at the end of the 100 mile event.April 28, 2012: Kyle Busch won the Capital City 400 from a fifth place start. It was the No. 18 Toyota driver's first victory in 2012 and fourth in 15 starts at Richmond. This was his fourth consecutive win in the Spring races at Richmond International Raceway breaking a tie with Richard Petty (1971-1973). Drivers leading 10 or more laps: No. 29 Kevin Harvick 13 laps, finished 19th; Pole-sitter No. 55 Mark Martin 29 laps, finished eighth; winner Busch led 32 laps; No. 14 Tony Stewart 118 laps, finished third and No. 99 Carl Edwards led the most laps (206 of 400) and finished 10th.September 8, 2012: Clint Bowyer won the Federated Auto Parts 400. It was the No. 15 Toyota driver's second victory in 2012 and his second in 14 races at Richmond International Raceway. Drivers leading 10 or more laps: No. 39 Ryan Newman 13 laps, finished eighth; No. 14 Tony Stewart 15 laps, finished fourth; Pole-sitter No. 88 Dale Earnhardt Jr. 67 laps, finished 14th; Race-winner Bowyer 88 laps and No. 11 Denny Hamlin led the most laps (202 of 400).Your fantasy game won't allow you to pick all track favorites so Mid-Pack Attack is here to help. A mid-packer may not win the race but has as good a shot at a top 20 finish as track favorites Clint Bowyer, Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards and Jeff Gordon. There were 43 cars on the preliminary entry list for this weekend's Cup race. Here are our picks for Saturday night's Toyota Owners 400 in Richmond, Virginia.Mid-Pack picksIn his first two career starts at Richmond, Ryan Newman recorded consecutive second-place finishes. He carries an 11.3 average start coupled with an 11.6 average finish in 22 starts at Richmond. The 11.6 is the best average finish among all tracks for Newman. He picked up a win in the September 2003 event. Over the last eight races at RIR, his worst finishes were a 20th and a 15th; the rest were all top-10s. There's no reason the No. 39 Chevrolet driver can't continue that performance at the little track in Virginia.We keep saying Newman's teammate, Tony Stewart, is due for a turn-around. We'll say it again this week. Stewart has six wins at RIR; three in Sprint Cup, two in the Camping World Truck Series and one in a Late Model stock car. The Late Model win came in 2012 in Denny Hamlin's 75-lap charity race (which Stewart will enter again this Thursday night). In 28 Sprint Cup starts at the track, besides the three wins, Stewart has 11 top-five finishes, 19 top-10s and a 10.4 average finish. Over the last four Cup races here, he scored the second-most number of championship points of all drivers entered. Find a spot on your roster for the No. 14 Chevrolet SS this week.Talk about experience; Mark Martin made 54 Cup Series starts at the 3/4 mile facility. While he only has one victory, Martin has maintained an 11.9 average finish including 30 Top-10s. He earned five poles; including his first start in 1981 and this race in 2012. Martin entered 25 Nationwide Series races at the track; won five of them and carried a 9.2 average finish. He drove in one Camping World Truck Series event; started fourth, finished third. With a worst finish of 10th in his last three Sprint Cup starts here, it's pretty safe to assume that the No. 55 Toyota driver can be counted on to finish somewhere in the top-20 on Saturday night.Jeff Burton grew up about two hours away from the Richmond track (in South Boston, VA) and considers it one of his favorites. He won a Cup race and two Nationwide Series races at RIR. We're looking for a final top-20 pick this week and that's where Burton finished in nine of his last 11 Richmond Sprint Cup Series starts. In this race last season, he almost made it 10 out of 11 before getting a little close to the wall on lap 310 (finished 31st after repairs). Round out your fantasy roster with the No. 31 Chevrolet SS driver at his home-state track.
