Healthcare information technology (HCIT) has emerged as promising development to transform the paper-based healthcare system into a digitized one. HCIT also gives clinicians real-time access to patient data, and provides them with support to make the best possible decisions. It streamlines processes and reduces administrative overhead. The impact of IT on healthcare in the past decade has been modest, despite the huge potential.
In this report, the market is segmented on the basis of its applications, delivery modes, and components. Based on application, the North American healthcare information technology is segmented into provider (clinical information technology and non-clinical information technology) and payer, while the market by delivery mode is further categorized as on-premises, web-based, and cloud-based. The healthcare information technology by component comprises of hardware, software, and services. The North American HCIT market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% to reach $31.3 billion by 2017 from $21.9 billion in 2012 due to the increasing demand for clinical information technology, and administrative solutions and services.
Major factors driving the growth of the healthcare information technology market are rise in pressure to cut healthcare costs, growing demand to integrate healthcare systems, high rate of return on investment, financial support from the U.S. government, government initiatives (e-health, health connect, pay-for-performance (P4P) program, e-Health Ontario and Alberta Netcare), rise in aging population, growing demand for CPOE adoption in order to reduce medication errors, and rise in incidences of chronic disorders.
However, major constraints to the growth of the healthcare IT system are high cost of healthcare IT solutions, high maintenance and service costs, interoperability issues, shortage of healthcare IT professionals, poor standard healthcare protocols such as Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and unprecedented growing incidences of data breaches of patient information.
Canada is expected to register the highest CAGR of 7.7% (2012 to 2017) respectively in the overall North America healthcare information technology market, followed by U.S (7.2%). However, U.S. accounted for the highest share - 72.6% - of the North America Healthcare IT market and is expected to reach $22.6 billion in by 2017 as compared to $15.9 billion in 2012. The factors likely to propel the Canadian market are its public funded health structure, prominent role played by Canada Health Infoway, growing pressure to cut healthcare costs, and rise in incidences of chronic diseases.
The key players in the market are Cerner Corporation (U.S.), Epic (U.S.)., Carestream Health, Inc. (U.S.), McKesson Corporation (U.S.), Athenahealth, Inc. (U.S.), Siemens Healthcare (Germany), Medical Information System, Inc. (U.S.), Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc. (U.S.), GE Healthcare (U.K.), NextGen Healthcare Information System, LLC (U.S.), Novarad Corporation (U.S.), Philips Healthcare (The Netherlands),and Hewlett-Packard (U.S.)

Title: Batman Puking his Freakin Guts Out
By: The Legendary Tiger Hero
Aw, Snap! Batman's got a bad case of the barfs! Holy nausea, Batman! I hope that he's got some Bat-Antacids in that utility belt! This dark knight might be quite nimble in performing fantastic physical feats, but one thing this crime fighter sucks at is making it to the bat-toilet on time! Alfred's gonna be pissed when he sees this bat-heap!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
To the guy bellow me...
Dude, are you like the puke expert or something? It's a hilarious drawing, man!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Holy shit.
Judging from the already present pool and the lack of a barf mark that leads back to directly under his mouth one can only conclude that he has been spewing a non stop inch and a half in radius stream of barf for at least eight seconds. And it only makes the picture even greater. Batman's list of heroic actions now includes firefighting.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Hahahaha!!! Yackman!
This reminds me of Halloween '08. I had bought a Batman costume and some friends and I were going to pre-drink at my place before going to the club or something. As soon as I got off work I rushed home and put on my costume. I then proceeded to chug two beer mugs 3/4 full of straight whiskey within 30 mins. That was the last thing I remember, everything else I know about that night is second hand or from pictures. Apparently I ripped my costume and kept asking my buddy to "tie it tighter" in a creepy Christian-Bale-as-Batman-impersonation voice about ten times in a row. lol On the way to the club I starting puking like a volcano all over my fake muscle chest and spit chunks all over my buddy's van. Apparently there were some indecent exposure moments late on too... Anyways since then Yackman has been a nickname of mine (It's my PS3 id also). And that's why i don't really drink anymore...
That's an awesome story!! I love it!

Damon meets Lisa for a quickie in her mini van.
The Married Woman Part 2 [part 2 of 3]
By: DamonX (email@example.com)
The Married Woman Part 2
"Okay," I explained. "Just like this."
The woman on the bench in front me struggled clumsily to lift the bar
from her chest. Normally I'd be staring constantly at her perky tits,
and drooling over her spandex covered ass, but my mind was elsewhere.
"Good Cindy," I continued. "One more time."
The girl struggled out one last rep before I took the bar and placed it
back on the rack.
"Well that's it for today. Same time tomorrow?"
"Sure," Cindy said, sitting up and wiping a bead of sweat from her brow.
"Wow, that was hard."
"Don't worry. You'll get used to it."
I looked at my watch. 12:14. I was supposed to meet my girlfriend,
Erin, at a coffee shop down the street in 6 minutes.
"Well, Cindy, I have to get going, so if you don't have any questions
I'm out of here."
Cindy shook her head and headed for the locker room, saying a quick
goodbye. I turned and headed for the staff room. If I was late again,
Erin would kill me! especially since I had been so late for dinner the
night before. She would have been even more pissed, however, if she
had known that the reason I was late was because I was fucking another
woman in the ass!
After grabbing my wallet, I was heading out the door when I ran into
someone very familiar.
"Well hello there," Lisa said cheerfully.
She looked fantastic, with a medium length beige skirt, slit right up
the side and a loose fitting white blouse. Her hair was tied up in a
ponytail, which bobbed to and fro as she talked.
"H..hi," I stammered. "What are you dong here?"
"Actually I came to see you."
"Oh really? And why is that?"
"Well, I came to see if you wanted to go to lunch."
"Actually, I'm on my way to lunch right now. With my girlfriend."
"Well, when I said lunch, I didn't actually mean lunch. what I meant to
say was...Would you like to ass fuck me in the back seat of my
My eyes widened in disbelief.
"So what do you say?" Lisa reached out and traced her finger down my
"I..I can't. My girlfriend is waiting..."
"Oh it won't take long," she replied calmly.
"I really can't. I promised..."
Lisa grabbed me and pulled my face to hers.
"Let me ask you something baby," she whispered. "Have you ever had your
ass licked before?"
A few seconds later Lisa was leading me into the alleyway behind the
gym, where her mini-van was parked. How could I resist?
"Get in," she commanded, giving me a playful slap on the ass.
I slid the heavy door open and climbed into the van. Lisa got in behind
me and shut the door. I sat down nervously, noticing a car seat on
the seat beside me.
"Not there," Lisa said. "The back seat. There's more room."
She climbed in behind me, brushed a few Barbie dolls and other toys off
the seat and beckoned me to join her. I climbed around to sit beside
my irresistible enchantress as Lisa placed a hand on my leg. My cock
was already hard, and she could feel it growing down my pant leg.
"Well, it looks like someone is happy to see me," she said with a sexy
I leaned in to kiss her, but she pushed me back.
"Uh uh," she warned. "Give me that cock!"
Lisa tugged at my pants, freeing my dick and had it in her mouth before
my pants were even around my hips. She moaned around my shaft as her
hands struggled to yank my clothes off.
She looked up at me as she pulled my pants down around my ankles,
deepthroating my cock as she placed a knee on the tussled pile of
clothes under her. As she held them down, I pulled my feet up, freeing
myself completely. I must admit it felt kind of weird, to be totally
naked from the waist down in such a public place, especially since Lisa
was fully clothed.
She prompted me to lay down on the seat as she knelt on the floor of the
van between my legs. She then placed one of my legs up on the top of
the seat, spreading me wider.
"Now it's time for me to fulfill my part of the deal," she said with a
slutty grin.
I laid my head back and closed my eyes as Lisa lowered her head between
my legs. I could feel her nimble fingers rubbing my balls and holding
my cock up against my stomach as her tongue snaked its way down my
taint to my asshole.
I almost fainted when I felt it. Her warm, wet tongue touching my most
private area, stabbing softly at my puckered rosebud. Running in small
circles, teasing, taunting me. I was in heaven.
Lisa lifted her head.
"Does it feel good?"
"You fucking bet it feels good!" I responded.
"And I'm only getting started."
With that, she dropped back down and poked her little pink tongue back
against my asshole as her hand started to slowly stroke my shaft. I
actually had to stop her, since I felt as if I would cum. She just
went back to work, wrapping her lips around my hole, stabbing with her
tongue as she moaned.
"Mmm," she moaned as she pressed her tongue hard against me. "I'm such a
"Yes," I groaned back. "You're my fucking whore! My little asslicking
I was totally overcome with ecstasy, and she had barely even touched my
cock yet!
"Mmmmm, I want my tongue in your ass," she moaned again as she grabbed
my cock in her tiny delicate hand.
She then pursed her lips around my hole and pushed her tongue up inside
me. I could feel her wet little tongue snaking its way into my asshole
as her hand gave my cock a few easy strokes.
That was all it took as my dick erupted hot cum all over my chest.
Luckily, I managed to pull my shirt up in time as the warm fluid
splashed against my naked skin, and pooled around the shallow creases
formed by my abdominal muscles.
"Aww," Lisa said, pouting her lips. "Now you what are we going to do?"
To my surprise, however, my dick barely softened at all. I was still
horny and ready to fuck Lisa's ass right away.
"I forgot the lube, so we'll have to make do," she explained, pulling
her skirt up over her hips.
To my amazement, she wasn't wearing any panties at all.
She then crawled up my torso, licking my cum from my stomach and chest,
tickling my skin with her tongue. Once she had collected a fair amount,
she turned and knelt down on the seat with her ass facing me. She then
spit the cum into her hand and proceeded to smear it along her ass
crack. I had never seen such a dirty scene before. Not even in porn
Lisa looked back into my eyes as she stuffed the white jism into her
asshole, sliding two fingers in and out. I licked my lips and
lubricated my cock with spit as I watched the nasty scene before me.
Once her ass was nice and wet with my cum, Lisa pulled her fingers out
and sucked them dry.
I was about to crawl over to her, when she ordered me to sit up in the
middle of the seat. I did as I was told, sitting there with my cock
back at full attention. Lisa then straddled my hips, with her back to
me, and slowly lowered herself down. I reached down and guided my dick
to her asshole as she descended. It pressed firmly against her tight
rosebud, and then slipped inside her cum-coated butt hole. Lisa was
breathing deeply as she continued lowered herself, inching my cock
further up her ass. I watched in amazement as her impossibly tight
hole swallowed me to the hilt.
She nestled down into my lap, with my cock firmly embedded in her ass,
and leaned back. I placed my hands on her hips and kissed her neck. I
could smell the faint scent of perfume and could hear Lisa moaning
softly as she began to gyrate her hips. She wiggled her ass around on
my cock as she reached down to gently rub my balls. Her other hand,
she brought up and grabbed the back of my head so that we were cheek to
"I fucking love your cock in my ass baby!" she hissed as she continued
to gyrate her little hips. "I love the way it feels inside me. it makes
me so wet to be such a slut!"
I pressed up a little, trying in vain to force my dick farther up her
tight little hole.
"Oooh," she cooed. "That's it, baby. Fuck my ass. Fuck my tight little
Lisa then leaned forward, grabbing onto the seat in front of us. She
gasped as she lifted her body off of mine. I could see my dick slowly
emerging from her tight little tunnel as she rose. She went up until
my cock was almost free, then giggled as she squirmed around a bit,
clenching her asshole around the head of my dick. Then down she came,
faster than before, sucking me back into her nasty little hole.
"How does it look baby?" she asked. "Do you like to see your cock
sliding in and out of my ass?"
"It looks so fucking good," I groaned with pleasure.
"Does it look nice and nasty?"
Lisa lifted herself again.
"Yes. It's so fucking nasty. You're so fucking nasty!"
She giggled as she came back down, squeezing her anus around my shaft.
"That's right baby," she moaned. "I'm a nasty little whore. And I'm
all yours, so fuck my asshole good then send me back to my husband."
I grabbed Lisa's hips and lifted her into the air, slamming her back
"Oh fuck yes!!" she shouted.
I did it again, and Lisa began frantically fingering her pussy.
"Yes baby! Fucking use me! Fuck my asshole like the slut I am!!"
As I lifted her and pulled her back down onto my waiting cock, I began
to thrust upwards as well, slamming her hard, sending a loud "smack"
echoing throughout the van each time.
"Oh my god!" she yelled. "Fuck me! Fuck my dirty little shithole!!"
Lisa was getting kind of loud so I reached around and shoved two fingers
into her dripping wet pussy. I then brought them to her mouth and
forced them between her lips as I continued grinding into her ass. She
sucked them hungrily, moaning all the while with my cock in her ass.
The she screamed.
Her orgasm shook the van as she howled with my finger in her mouth.
Roughly, I clamped my hand around her mouth and fucked her even harder.
She made a wheezing sound as the lust overtook her. Her body trembled
and twitched. Her asshole clenched and unclenched around my shaft. I
knew it wouldn't be much longer.
"Don't...cum...in...my...ass," Lisa said between pants. "I want you in
my mouth!"
With that, Lisa dismounted, pulling her well-fucked asshole off my
engorged cock and dropped to her knees. She didn't hesitate at all as
she took the thing into her parched mouth. her hand furiously pumped
as her lips slid up and down my shaft, dying to taste my cum. i
grabbed a handful of Lisa's hair and squeezed hard as the first shot
was fired. As soon as she could taste it, she began moaning, sucking
harder on my tip. Stream after stream of the hot liquid fired against
the back of Lisa's throat and she sucked it all down as if was her last
meal. Even when I was completely spent, she licked and sucked at my
cock until it withered down to almost nothing.
"Thanks babe," she said. "I needed that."
I panted as I struggled to pull my pants up in the tight confines of the
back seat. Lisa just pushed her shirt back down and straightened her
hair in the mirror. I finished undressing, before taking my leave.
Lisa gave me a long deep kiss and a pat on the ass as I stepped out of
the van. I looked around quickly, hoping nobody had heard the
commotion. After a quick glimpse at my watch I was off and running.
I arrived at the coffee shop ten minutes late. I saw Erin sitting at a
corner table with arms crossed and a pissed off look on her face.
"And where were you?" she asked angrily.
"Sorry baby, "I pleaded. "I got kind of...hung up at work."
"You promised."
"Sorry, but I had this client that was all up my ass about something."
I smiled to myself at the truth of what I had just said.
"Whatever. Can we please just order? I'm starving."
"Whatever you say baby."

If this were true what need would there be for Solve? Reduce attempts to give a complete solution and when that is impossible it returns no answer. In your particular case Solve produces a warning about using Inverse functions and tells you that you may not have a complete solution. That tells you exactly the reason why Reduce returns the original expression back to you. Andrzej Kozlowski Chiba, Japan http://www.mimuw.edu.pl/~akoz/

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Russia has increased its air activity over the Pacific Ocean since the start of the Ukraine crisis, including flights near the California coast and the U.S. Pacific island of Guam, the head of U.S. air forces in the Pacific said on Monday.
General Herbert "Hawk" Carlisle said the number of long-range Russian patrols around the Japanese islands and Korea had also increased "drastically" and there had been "a lot more ship activity as well".
"We relate a lot of that to what's going on in the Ukraine," Carlisle said at Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank.
Carlisle showed a slide of a U.S. F-15 fighter jet intercepting a Russian "Bear" aircraft, the Cold War NATO name for Russia's Tupolev Tu-95 strategic bomber, over Guam.
"Certainly what's going on in Ukraine and Crimea is a challenge for us and it's a challenge for us in Asia Pacific as well as Europe," Carlisle said.
Russia's state-run news agency Itar-Tass quoted an unidentified senior ministry official as saying the flights were not sabre-rattling and had nothing to do with Ukraine.
"To consider Russian air force flights over neutral Pacific Ocean waters a challenge to the United States is strange to say the least," Itar-Tass quoted the official as saying.
Carlisle said Russian flights in the area were aimed "to demonstrate their capability to do it" and to gather intelligence, adding that the surveillance had included observation of military exercises involving U.S. forces in South Korea and Japan.
"There are things that are concerning with respect to how they operate and how transparent they are with other nations in the vicinity," he said of Russia.
Carlisle gave no details of the incidents and the Defense Department and the U.S. Air Force and Navy in the Pacific did not immediately respond to a request for more information.
Mike Green, senior vice president for Asia at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think tank, said the frequency of incidents was up and described them as being "evocative of the Cold War".
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in 2007 that Russia was resuming sorties by its strategic bomber aircraft near NATO airspace that were suspended in 1992 after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Putin, who made the announcement during a joint military exercise with China, said the move was necessary to guarantee Russia's safety and that other nations had not followed Moscow's example in suspending such flights.

British actress Thandie Newton is urging fans not to turn their backs on shamed fashion designer John Galliano as he is 'a human being who is in pain'.
The flamboyant couturier's career has been in a downward spiral since he was arrested in France in February over allegations he hurled anti-Semitic remarks at a couple during a night out, and a video tape which allegedly showed him praising Adolf Hitler later surfaced.
John Galliano, who is currently at the centre of a police investigation in France over the scandal, was subsequently fired as head designer for Christian Dior and he has also been dismissed as creative director of his own fashion label.
But actress Thandie Newton is adamant John Galliano should not be scorned by fans - as he deserves their sympathy.
She tells Britain's Evening Standard, "If someone's gone into rehab, I'm not thinking about their clothes. This is a much bigger deal than clothes; this is about a human being who's trying to check out of life."
"It goes way beyond what was said and any insults or offence taken. This is a human being who is in pain and I hope to God that he finds a way through that. I will be there to applaud him... It makes me emotional to talk about it."

I saw some newspapers Thursday morning and was wondering how they could use provocative phrases like "setback to the Indian space programme" and "failure of the mission". It is completely wrong to perceive it that way.
Actually nothing unusual happened. What happened was just a normal testing process before the launch of India's first Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle. There is an in-built safety system in our computer systems that would shut off the launch automatically if anything was wrong.
We have four strap-on engines and 4.6 seconds before lift off, computers check whether all are functioning normally. Unless all the four engines perform to normal levels, we do not ignite the fifth motor which is the core motor. The four engines run on liquid fuel and the core engine runs on solid fuel.
At 3.6 seconds, we assessed the performance and one was found to be below the 90 per cent performance level. It did not have the necessary thrust for lift off. So as I said, the computer switched the system off.
If we had let the GSLV go up, it would have been a failure. We have not failed. There is only a delay, as a re-launch will happen soon.
There is absolutely no room for pessimism. It is just a matter of a few weeks before we get ready for another launch.
I cannot exactly tell you when the rescheduled launch is going to be because it all depends on the nature of the problem. Our scientists are studying what went wrong and they should know it in another three days or so.
Within minutes of the aborted launch, we were already busy unloading all the fuel so that our scientists could go to the launch pad and make checks. The unloading is almost over. We will now put our action plan to work that will end in a rescheduled launch.
The used engine can be easily replaced by a standby engine. We will soon know what we need to do after preliminary studies are over.

2011 Australian Open Match Preview - Justine Henin vs. Sania Mirza
Reads: 5,239, Comments: 0
Reads: 5,239, Comments: 0
Last year's finalist Justine Henin is desperate and determined to get a step further in Melbourne this year as she opens her bid for the second Australian Open singles title with a match up against Indian Ace Sania Mirza.
Henin received the WTA comeback player of the year award for her illustrious return to competitive tennis last year which included a runner up finish in Melbourne and two more singles titles in Stuttgart and 's-Hertogenbosch to finish the season in top 20.
Her opponent, India's Sania Mirza remained sidelined due to injuries or controversies surrounding her marriage to Pakistani Cricketer Shoaib Malik. Her only remarkable run came in Guangzhou where she reached the quarterfinals. Mirza's best Australian Open performance came in the year 2005 when she reached the third round.
This is a first meeting between both players and Henin, with the help of her solid results in Perth this year at the Hopman's Cup, is likely to emerge victorious in straight sets.
TennisEarth.com's Pick - Henin in straight sets.

The Rules of Salazar
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar enjoys wielding power. Remember, during the Gulf oil spill he firmly stated that he would put "a boot on the throat" of British Petroleum. He has now issued a memorandum for the use of science in decision-making, according to The New York Times Oct. 1 Green blog. Salazar declared: "The American people must have confidence that the Department of Interior is basing its decisions on the best available science…free of improper influence." But it was Salazar who attached his Gulf drilling moratorium surreptitiously to a National Academy of Engineering report that did NOT recommend stopping drilling. Trying to play the big shot again, Salazar issued his science policy rule because the White House Office of Science and Technology has dilly-dallied since March 2009 when President Obama told it to come up with guidelines to ensure government science was conducted without political influence. Other federal agencies have been willing to wait for White House policy guidance on science—even for18 months. But Salazar, showing his chutzpah, moved ahead on his own, saying his science policy will "ensure that scientists will not be coerced to alter scientific findings. Even though it was okay to reverse their findings, as he did on the drilling moratorium mandate...more

CO2 Lasers | <<< | >>> |
Definition: infrared lasers based on a gas mixture in which light is amplified by carbon dioxide molecules
German: CO2-Laser, Kohlendioxidlaser
The CO2 laser (carbon dioxide laser) is a molecular gas laser based on a gas mixture as the gain medium, which contains carbon dioxide (CO2), helium (He), nitrogen (N2), and possibly some hydrogen (H2), water vapor and/or xenon (Xe). Such a laser is electrically pumped via a gas discharge, which can be operated with DC current, with AC current (e.g. 20–50 kHz) or in the radio frequency (RF) domain. Nitrogen molecules are excited by the discharge into a metastable vibrational level and transfer their excitation energy to the CO2 molecules when colliding with them. Helium serves to depopulate the lower laser level and to remove the heat. Other constituents such as hydrogen or water vapor can help (particularly in sealed-tube lasers) to reoxidize carbon monoxide (formed in the discharge) to carbon dioxide.
CO2 lasers typically emit at a wavelength of 10.6 μm, but there are other lines in the region of 9–11 μm (particularly at 9.6 μm). In most cases, average powers are between some tens of watts and many kilowatts. The power conversion efficiency can be well above 10%, i.e., it is higher than for most gas lasers (due to a particularly favorable excitation pathway), also higher than for lamp-pumped solid-state lasers, but lower than for many diode-pumped lasers.
Laser Types
The family of CO2 lasers is very diverse:
- For laser powers between a few watts and a several hundred watts, it is common to use sealed-tube or no-flow lasers, where the laser bore and gas supply are contained in a sealed tube. Such lasers are compact and rugged, and reach operation lifetimes of several thousands of hours.
- High-power diffusion-cooled slab lasers (not to be confused with solid-state slab lasers) have the gas in a gap between a pair of planar water-cooled RF electrodes. The excess heat is efficiently transferred to the electrodes by diffusion, if the electrode spacing is made small compared with the electrode width. Several kilowatts of output are possible.
- Fast axial flow lasers and fast transverse flow lasers are also suitable for multi-kilowatt continuous-wave output powers. The excess heat is removed by the fast-flowing gas mixture, which passes an external cooler before being used again in the discharge.
- Transverse excited atmosphere (TEA) lasers have a very high (about atmospheric) gas pressure. As the voltage required for a longitudinal discharge would be too high, transverse excitation is done with a series of electrodes along the tube. TEA lasers are operated in pulsed mode only, as the gas discharge would not be stable at high pressures. They often produce average output powers below 100 W, but can also be made for powers of tens of kilowatts (combined with high pulse repetition rates).
- There are gas dynamic CO2 lasers for multi-megawatt powers (e.g. for anti-missile weapons), where the energy is not provided by a gas discharge but by a chemical reaction in a kind of rocket engine.
The concepts differ mainly in the technique of heat extraction, but also in the gas pressure and electrode geometry used. In low-power sealed-tube lasers (used e.g. for laser marking), waste heat is transported to the tube walls by diffusion or a slow gas flow. The beam quality can be very high. High-power CO2 lasers utilize a fast forced gas convection, which may be in the axial direction (i.e., along the beam direction) or in the transverse direction (for the highest powers).
CO2 lasers are widely used for material processing, in particular for
- cutting plastic materials, wood, die boards, etc., exhibiting high absorption at 10.6 μm, and requiring moderate power levels of 20–200 W
- cutting and welding metals such as stainless steel, aluminum or copper, applying multi-kilowatt powers
- laser marking of various materials.
Other applications include laser surgery (including ophthalmology) and range finding.
CO2 lasers used for material processing (e.g. welding and cutting of metals, or laser marking) are in competition with solid-state lasers (particularly YAG lasers and fiber lasers) operating in the 1-μm wavelength regime. These shorter wavelengths have the advantages of more efficient absorption in a metallic workpiece, and the potential for beam delivery via fiber cables. (There are no optical fibers for high-power 10-μm laser beams.) The potentially smaller beam parameter product of 1-μm lasers can also be advantageous. However, the latter potential normally cannot be realized with high-power lamp-pumped lasers, and diode-pumped lasers tend to be more expensive. For these reasons, CO2 lasers are still widely used in the cutting and welding business, particularly for parts with a thickness greater than a few millimeters, and their sales make more than 10% of all global laser sales (as of 2013). This may to some extent change in the future due to the development of high-power thin-disk lasers and advanced fiber cables in combination with techniques which exploit the high beam quality of such lasers.
Due to their high powers and high drive voltages, CO2 lasers raise serious issues of laser safety. However, their long operation wavelength makes them relatively eye-safe at low intensities.

Spermatic cord
Spermatic cord | |
Anatomy of the human male reproductive system
The spermatic cord in the inguinal canal (label for spermatic cord in lower right)
Details | |
Identifiers | |
Latin | Funiculus spermaticus |
MeSH | A05.360.444.777 |
Anatomical terminology |
The spermatic cord is the cord-like structure in males formed by the vas deferens (ductus deferens) and surrounding tissue that runs from the deep inguinal ring down to each testicle. Its serosal covering, the tunica vaginalis, is an extension of the peritoneum that passes through the transversalis fascia.
The spermatic cord is ensheathed in three layers of tissue:
- external spermatic fascia, an extension of the innominate fascia that overlies the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle
- cremasteric muscle and fascia, formed from a continuation of the internal oblique muscle and its fascia
- internal spermatic fascia, continuous with the transversalis fascia
- Arteries: testicular artery, deferential artery, cremasteric artery
- Nerves: nerve to cremaster (genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve) and testicular nerves (sympathetic nerves). It is worth noting that the ilio-inguinal nerve is not actually located inside the spermatic cord, but runs along the outside of it, in the inguinal canal.
- Vas deferens (ductus deferens)
- Pampiniform plexus
- Lymphatic vessels
- Tunica vaginalis (remains of the processus vaginalis)
The pampiniform plexus, testicular artery, cremasteric artery, artery of the ductus deferens, lymphatic vessels, testicular sympathetic nerves, and ductus deferens all run deep to the internal spermatic fascia.[1] The ilioinguinal nerve runs on the superficial surface of the external spermatic fascia.
Clinical significance[edit]
The spermatic cord is sensitive to torsion, in which the testicle rotates within its sac and blocks its own blood supply. Testicular torsion may result in irreversible damage to the testicle within hours. A collection of serous fluid in the spermatic cord is named 'funiculocele'.
The contents of the abdominal cavity may protrude into the inguinal canal, producing an indirect inguinal hernia.
Varicose veins of the spermatic cord are referred to as varicocele. Though often asymptomatic, about one in four people with varicocele have negatively affected fertility.[2]

I was looking online for Japanese kanji iPhone apps, and found some reviews at Zonjineko. I don't think there are that many anymore, since the review is from a couple of years ago, but the post made me look around his site. It seems to be great for Japanese language and cultural info. Unfortunately, he doesn't say much about himself in his bio, but I wonder if Japanese is just a hobby or part of his work. He goes there (often?) and takes photos, including signs, which is my personal passion (I take pics around Chicago and when I visit other places...which I really should post on Flickr and here), and it's just an interesting site all around.
Actually, he has a good post about not giving up studying Japanese, and in it, he uses the word "Mum" instead of "Mom", so I wonder if he's a Brit or part of that world.
Check it out--he's so organized and seems to consistently post substantial content, which I've been having trouble with lately :| He even has a newsletter you can subscribe to!

I decided to enter a couple loaves of bread in the local fair, and thinking about having to achieve a particular result on a particular day made me realize what a sloppy baker I am. Well, maybe "sloppy" is a little negative. Let's say "happy-go-lucky," or "devil-may-care," or "possessed-of-a-certain-breezy-elan" when it comes to bread baking. Or maybe "sloppy" is the right word after all.
Whatever you call it, the result is that I rarely end up exactly where I originally set out to go. And I'm fine with that. Up until now I've only baked for myself, my family, and a few friends. And they're all fine with it, too... or at least polite about it.
But now it's down to business. I've picked the recipe (a torturous process), and I'm determined to stop improvising half-way through the bake and really dial it in.
As a happy side-benefit, this has turned out to be a great excuse to bake even more bread than usual!
The bread: The lean 45% whole rye and whole wheat from Whole Grain Breads. Minus the yeast. One has a touch of molasses and caraway seeds. The other has some packaged bread spice, no sweetner.
I've made versions of this before, but paid more attention to what I was doing this time. I'm pretty happy with it. I think I need to up the hydration just a bit. And I clearly went a little overboard flouring the bannetons - a touch of paranoia.
But about the rise... I went 45 min for the first rise, then shaped, then another 45min for the second rise. That seems awfully fast. That's about the recommended time for the yeasted version. I went by feel and look on the first rise (my finger press did not spring back). Since I've never seen a recipe with a second rise longer than the first, I put it in the oven 45 min after that. I worry about over-proofing with rye, but would a third rise maybe be an option?
Then I turned over the camera to my daughter for a couple shots. Future bread blogger? Hehehe... could be.
If ever there was a time to make a hearty rye...
When mom returns from a trip to Germany with an assortment of Brotgewuerz and mustard recipes (gotta love a mom who knows), I think that's a sign that I need to get back to some rye bread. She whipped up a few test batches of mustard, all mouthwatering, some sinus clearing, so I baked up some crusty rye.
It's about 60/40 whole wheat / whole rye using Peter Reinhart's method from WGB. I fed my WW starter with rye and let it ferment for 12 hrs at room temp. Worried that the starter may have spent too much of itself overnight I added a little instant yeast to the final dough, though originally I had intended to leave it out and go full sour.
Things got a little wetter than they should have. Not only was I a little out of practice on this recipe, but I switched WW flours as well. "Sticky mess" would be one way to describe it. But I persevered and went with it. Every step was a near disaster but eventually I got the two loaves in the oven more or less intact. The one that didn't try to ooze off the edge of the stone made it into the picture.
They went flat and wide, of course, but otherwise came out about as well as I could have hoped. Crusty, airy, chewy, yummy.
Unfortunately, I ran out of mom's homemade pickles last week, drat! So these will have to do.

Teen Tuesday
In last week's post on my Camp Counselor Flash Mob Experience, I shared how music can be a fun summer surprise. Here at camp, music really is the backbone of everything we do. Everyone, even the little one year-old campers live, breathe and embody music appreciation every day.
Me in costume after singing in school play, MommyBlogExpert.com |
Singing is my passion, too -- yeah, maybe that sounds kinda cheesy. Seriously, I feel like it helps me push through anything even a wall (figuratively).
I really like this video shot at the Pink concert where Nate Reuss made a surprise appearance on stage singing that hit song!
My summer 2013 top artist & group playlist choices include
- Pink
- Nate Reuss
- Michael Buble
- Lana Del Rey
- Christina Aguilera
Shoutout to Pink and Nate Reuss for creating my favorite song of the moment!

Bulk, Cut, or Maintain? (Pics included)
Bulk, Cut, or Maintain? (Pics included)
I just made another thread asking how long it will take for me to get abs. I guessed 2 months, losing about 10-12lbs. Someone else said a solid month with cardio.
Here is my question, because i want a view from a majority.
Lets keep in mind I'm going to the navy in April, so i will need to be in running shape/push ups, etc. Currently, i'm good on this, but everyone can improve.
I lift 4 days a week and do cardio 2 times a week. One day of my cardio is on an OFF day and sometimes the other is after a workout day. (Depends on my schedule)
Monday - Chest/Back
Tuesday - Legs/Biceps. Including squats and deadlifts.
Wednesday - Shoulders/Lats. Sometimes i do HIIT this day
Thursday - OFF. (Sometimes HIIT)
Friday - Squats, Deads, Triceps.
Saturday - OFF Sometimes HIIT
Sunday - OFF
My job is very easy and not too labor intense. So, my exercise strictly comes from the gym.
What do you think, bulk, cut, or eat around maintenance and see what happens? My ultimate goal is for abs, because i've always wanted them. People have said that i won't like my physique if i lose weight...I don't see why. Here are some pics and you guys can judge.
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a26...wner/aaa-1.jpg - 12-26-2008, 09:26 AM
i thought you just created a post about getting a six pack? if thats still your objective then do a cut, but you'll be better served with a bulk cycle.
I was, but people kept telling me to bulk and bulk...This started getting into my head, although i really want abs...It sucks...
I'm just worried that if i gain weight, my pushups may decline. I just have the Navy in mind. I need to be able to maintain at least 64 pushups in 2 minutes. I can do 74 in one minute right now, but i'm tired after that.
So, is their a way i can advance my push ups, get abs and possible gain muscle weight?
I'm guessing this is a no. Because with my lifting (squating, bench, etc) I would like to get some definition, but at the same time i would like low b/f...Then, at the same time wouldn't it maybe be disgusting if i weighed 138lbs? I don't know...My main focus is to increase my pushups and sit ups....Should i eat a little over maintenance for this, or no?
I don't leave until june, but i don't think that is enough time to bulk and cut... - 12-27-2008, 07:31 PM
Well, i want to weight lift though...This doesn't mean i can't do that, correct? I actually made a routine today. I figure i can do this 3 days a week and on my OFF days i can do sit ups and push ups. Maybe only 3 sets of each to keep up with them. I will also include abs on these days.
Here is the routine.
Bench Press
Tricep Dip
Incline db Bench
BB Rows
Calf work
Mil Press
Chins/rowing movement
3x8-4x6 for compound movements 3x12+ for iso's.. - 12-28-2008, 01:03 AM
I would bulk man,...a good clean massive bulk. If your diet is right, training as well as sleep, you wont turn into a chub. I was 192, lean in HS and have gone all the way up to 246 on my last bulk last feb. and I dont think my pushup #'s were ever effected in all those years by my body weight, as i was getting significantly stronger the more weight I gained.
if you care more about abs than anything then cut up, do cardio, clean up the diet, and be cut. Personally I would rather have the mass on me, mass that I dont have to take off my shirt for people to notice. I can have a baggy shirt on and my friends will still say its "too tight." LOL but thats just me, id rather be "bigger." - 12-31-2008, 10:31 AM

Twitter has quietly and subtly changed the colour of the retweet button, in a move that already has a number of users questioning their sanity.
The change is very minor - the button has gone from a fairly ordinary, muted forest green to a much brighter, minty neon shade.
It's such a small change that some users have started asking whether their eyes could be playing tricks on them.
Twitter just changed the colour of its retweet button to 'Spotify Puke Green'.
— Matt Navarra (@MattNavarra) February 3, 2016
FYI - The new color is #19cf86 pic.twitter.com/qKfzv83OBV
To be fair to Twitter, it's not as drastic as the November change from star-shaped 'favourites' to heart-shaped 'likes', but it's still managing to unsettle a few users.
Twitter seems to be conducting a few design tests on small groups of tweeters at the moment - many have taken to the social network to complain that their like and retweet buttons appear to have moved from their usual positions, to be more in line with the text of the message.
who at twitter decided the new retweet button green was a good green
— ⁂ (@PolClarissou) February 3, 2016
its a Bad green
take that green away
did twitter change the shade of green for the retweet button or have i gone mad
— tiah (@sleepywave) February 3, 2016
Wait, has Twitter just changed the shade of green in the retweet button in the last minute?
— Jeremy Duns (@jeremyduns) February 2, 2016
It's not clear whether the new button is just a test or a permanent change, and there's currently no indication why the colour was altered in the first place.
We've reached out to Twitter for a comment to get to the bottom of the mystery, this article will be updated when they respond.

With the help of her famous parents, Ava Sambora made her modeling debut at the White Trash Beautiful show.
The 12-year-old daughter of actress Heather Locklear and Bon Jovi rocker Richie Sambora stunned the catwalk at the kickoff of LA Fashion Week. It wasn't a fluke that Ava walked in this show - the line is the creation of her father and designer Nikki Lund. Though her parent's divorce may have been tumultuous, they put on a united front while cheering on their only offspring. Mom Heather beamed from the front row, while snapping photos on her iPhone as her look-alike daughter strutted down the runway.
"I'm very, very proud of her. I'm very excited, and I'm here to support her," Locklear told People magazine. "And the minute she's done I'm going to grab her and wipe off her makeup and get her into her pjs."
The teen was natural and confident as she glided down the runway to Livin on a Prayer in four edgy, yet feminine looks and "early" Bon Jovi-inspired accessories.
Proud papa Sambora was unable to make the show, but his partner, Lund, was sending him photos the whole time, explaining, "He's so excited about this, it's his baby!"

The Red Sox's No. 19 prospect yielded just two hits over a career-high eight innings, leading the Class A Advanced Red Sox to a 4-0 shutout of the Hillcats.
Celestino struck out just three, but induced 16 groundouts. The effort lowered his ERA from 4.58 to 4.15.
"I thought he threw an excellent game," Salem pitching coach Kevin Walker said. "He had his three pitches all working tonight -- fastball, slider, changeup. The biggest aspect of his success was that he committed to throwing the fastball inside early, which really opened up the outer half."
The 22-year-old right-hander did not give up a hit until the seventh frame, when Adam Milligan lined a single to center field. Edward Salcedo followed with a ground-ball single through the left side, but that was all Lynchburg would get on the night.
"He went to an 0-2 count [against Milligan] and threw a slider a little over the plate on the outer half," Walker said. "[Milligan] hit a line drive to center field. The next batter he made a pretty good pitch to. [Salcedo] hit a ground ball between short and third. ... That was it."
Pete Ruiz set the Hillcats down in order in the ninth to preserve the shutout.
Wednesday's outing represents a recovery for Celestino, who had surrendered 17 runs over his last 11 innings spanning three starts. Walker said part of the problem had been Celestino's reluctance to throw inside.
"I've been talking to him and telling him the importance of using the whole plate," Walker said. "I think he got in patterns of being a guy that just pitches away. He wasn't throwing inside, and you've got to keep hitters honest. To work outside, you've got to throw inside."
Signed by the Mariners as a non-drafted free agent in 2006, Celestino was traded to the Red Sox with infielder Bill Hall in exchange for Casey Kotchman on March 18, 2010. He performed well for Class A Greenville last year, posting a 3.84 ERA while leading Red Sox Minor Leaguers with 27 starts and 140 2/3 innings pitched.
According to Walker, there's never been any question about what Celestino brings to the table in terms of stuff.
"There's no doubt in his fastball -- he's 92-96 [mph] and sits at 94," Walker said. "And he's 6-foot-6, so he creates excellent angles. He leverages the baseball really well. When he throws down in the zone, the pitch is tough to hit. He's got a really good changeup and the slider is coming along. He's still working on it, and we're still working on him being more consistent. The pieces are there."
In order to achieve the consistency that Walker talked about -- and turn in dominant outings like Wednesday's more frequently -- Celestino simply has to trust in what he can do.
"That's a big thing, going out there and trusting that what you do is enough," Walker said. "There are times that we try to do too much when actually all we have to do is trust what we have and makes pitches."

FundraisingFundraising is one of the most important elements of Bike MS. Remember, each cyclist is required to raise at least $250.* The majority of cyclists go above and beyond the fundraising minimum and raise $750. All donations to the National MS Society are tax-deductible. Fundraising is as easy as 1, 2, 3... Follow these simple steps: Step #1: Know your networksMake a list of every person you know — the obvious (friends and family) and the not-so obvious (neighbors, acquaintances, business associates, team members, alumni associates, etc.). You have just created your donor list. Need extra help? Use the Know Your Networks worksheet (pdf) included in your fundraising kit. Step #2: Set your fundraising goalNow that you know your networks, set your goal. The Bike MS fundraising minimum is $250, but based on your networks you may be able to reach even more to qualify for prizes or a Bike MS jersey. How about $5,000 to become a member of the National Bike MS Passport Program? Keep in mind that you will want an attainable goal and there is always an opportunity to adjust your goal throughout the Bike MS season. Once you've settled on your goal, make sure log into your account and update it. Step #3: Share your commitment & make a planYou have created your donor list and set your goal; next comes what many people think is the hardest part of fundraising, the ASK. Tell everyone what you are doing — the excitement is contagious and your story will inspire others. Articulate why you are taking on Bike MS. Your commitment will be the reason they choose to give you a donation. Where your money goesKnow the facts about MS and how it affects people living with the disease. Provide your donors with information about the mission of the Society, and how donations are used so that they know how they're making a difference. Funds raised from Bike MS are vital in providing programs and services to thousands of local families affected by MS, in addition to funding key MS research. Learn more at MSnorthwest.org * The minimum fundraising requirement for Bike MS: Ride the Silver Valley is $200 in 2014. FUNDRAISING TOOLKIT FUNDRAISING RESOURCES |

Professional healthcare opportunities are on the rise, which means there's an ever-growing demand for staff to work in the medical environments they create. However, it's not so simple to just step into the role of a medical receptionist, for instance. Training as much as you can by taking business administration---specifically medical---courses is an excellent way to ensure your professional success.
Just as with a traditional administrative assistant education, your training starts with a core understanding of computers and their many applications in an office setting. Medical environments, though, have additional needs that the proper courses will teach you.
As a student studying to become a medical office administrator, you may take classes in the following subjects:
Specialized classes teaching you the language of the health profession are a must. One of the many responsibilities in a medical office is transcription, so being familiar with the terminology prior to going into one will not only make your job easier, it'll make you appear more competent, as you'll have to ask fewer questions to complete your assignments.
In addition, education in legal issues regarding right to privacy, general human biology, and how billing systems work add to both your marketability and versatility as a potential employee. With people's wellbeing at stake, taking your career seriously as a medical professional is an absolute essential. Training in business administration medical courses will not only make you a better employee, it could also very well save lives.""
Once your formal training is complete, you may complete additional on-the-job training that is specific to a particular medical specialty or hospital department. Job opportunities in this field are growing, particularly in work environments that specialize in elder care. This is partly due to the aging ""baby boomer"" generation that will require particular medical care, resulting in the growth of the elder-care industry in general.
A Medical Office Administrator earns an average wage of $14.74 per hour. The highest paying skills associated with this job are Human Resources, Operations Management, Payroll Administration, and Office Management. Experience strongly influences salary for this job

Let me preface by saying this isn't your average Midwest wedding. In fact, it's so much better. Senushi and Ryan managed to blend their Buddhist and Catholic backgrounds into one cohesive, deeply meaningful celebration that brought two families from across the world together. A big thanks to Jen Dillender and 3 Strands Film for bringing the day to life on our pages.
"I am Sri Lankan, Kiwi, Australian, American Buddhist
and Ryan is Irish American Catholic—we weren't only
blending families, we were also blending cultures."
-The Bride
"It was great to involve both sides of the family in each
other's religious and cultural traditions."
-The Bride
From the Bride…My name is Senushi O'Sullivan. Yup, I think my married name adequately describes our union. Ours was a non-conventional story from the very beginning. Ryan and I met on match.com, as children of the 90's this was something we thought we'd never do ourselves but we couldn't be more grateful that we did. We spent our savings traveling the world for two months and realized that at both our best and worst, life was always sweeter with one another. The best night and surprise of my life is when Ryan proposed. Then, I started medical school in Kansas City and Ryan started dental school 350 miles away, and we logged many miles and listened to many audiobooks for the next 4 years living apart.
It also meant a 4 year engagement. Four years of pouring over gauzy wedding film photography, paper thin beaded dresses that cost as much as a semester of medical school, and drooling over venues that were originally built for actual royalty. Our union wouldn't be a traditional Midwestern wedding. I am Sri Lankan, Kiwi, Australian, American Buddhist and Ryan is Irish American Catholic—we weren't only blending families, we were also blending cultures. Despite all my gushing over the gorgeous wedding blogs and publications, my wonderment wasn't immune to the absence of minority brides or couples who didn't also moonlight as catalogue models. Our reception was not in Napa Valley or hosted in a distant relative's castle.
The first part of our mixed cultural wedding was the Catholic ceremony at the beautiful Holy Family Cathedral. I learned a great deal about the Catholic traditions leading up to the wedding, and it was a joy to attend pre-canna because Father O'Brien counseled us. He also married us, and my Buddhist family members became big fans of Father O'Brien as well.
Hosting a Sri Lankan wedding ceremony in the Midwest was a unique challenge. There are very few people with the very particular knowledge to be a Sri Lankan wedding Celebrant. A family member from Arizona suggested a gentleman in Chicago who performed Sri Lankan weddings, and so we asked him to officiate ours. A friend of Ryan's family actually built the traditional Sri Lankan platform called a Poruwa, and EverSomething built and decorated the traditional arch component of the Poruwa.
In front of our diverse wedding guests, we exchanged vows in the Sri Lankan tradition—feeding each other "kiri bath" or coconut milk rice, Ryan hilariously attempting to fasten my grandmother's gold necklace around my neck, my father tying our pinky fingers together with gold thread, and finally my uncle helping us down from the platform as a newly married couple. We then bowed down to both sets of parents and gave them presents. Ryan's cousin, Cooper, practiced chopping open many coconuts with an axe the night before because he was chosen to perform this task as my Uncle helped us step off of the Poruwa.
It was great to involve both sides of the family in each other's religious and cultural traditions. We then lit a traditional Sri Lankan oil lamp, which signifies the illumination of our new life together. For the food, KEO restaurant made some of my mum's Sri Lankan recipes as well as some of their best selling Thai, Vietnamese, and Malaysian dishes.
For the reception space, Taylor and her EverSomething team transformed the add-on multipurpose room of the otherwise stunning 1920s Tulsa Garden Center mansion with swathes of sheer ivory fabric, tapered candles, and Taylor's beautiful flowers. As with any wedding, there were unexpected hiccups but Hannah Ekblad of Frosted Field Events always found a solution and made sure the day went on as if everything was perfect. Despite the Oklahoma heat, the two ceremonies, and the huge bridal party, Hannah was the absolute sweetest and best coordinator a bride could ever hope to work with.
Although most of Ryan's family lives in Oklahoma and Kansas, most of mine lives in Australia and Sri Lanka. We were so touched by the fact that people flew from so far to be with us in Tulsa. My 11-year old cousin, Kiara, from Australia surprised us all with her performance of "A Thousand Years," which she had practiced for months and rehearsed with the band right before the reception started. LostWax was our amazing band, and the dancing started with their very first song.
No one wanted the party to end when they inevitably had to wrap up. Before the last hour of dancing, I changed into a red saree. In Sri Lankan culture, the bride changes into a red going away saree. It was the first saree I had ever worn and was worried it would constrict me from dancing, but I found a way!
Asking Jen Dillender to be our photographer was the best decision we made during the planning process. I agonized over choosing from all the film photographers I fan-girled so hard for. Jen was one of the kindest and most fun artists I met with, and her images are a testament to her raw talent. Even though the wedding is over, I'm still such a big fan of her work and of who she is.

After Saturday night's first-round triumph over the Nets in Brooklyn, the first Game 7 road win in franchise history, the Bulls have a monumentally harder task in the second round of the playoffs.
Their opponents, the Heat, are a familiar foe and while the Bulls certainly don't fear the defending champions, it's hard to foresee them making the series a battle without all hands on deck.
Following his team's victory at the Barclays Center, Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau was predictably vague about the status of two injured veteran starters, floor general Kirk Hinrich and All-Star small forward Luol Deng, saying both players were "day-to-day."
While Deng said from his Twitter account Saturday evening that he would see his teammates in Miami, in advance of Monday's Game 1 against the Heat, that won't occur Sunday.
According to a person with direct knowledge of the situation, Deng returned to a Chicago emergency room Sunday morning after being released from the hospital Saturday afternoon.
As for Hinrich, the point guard attempted to warm up before Saturday's contest, but while he was able to take spot-up jumpers, he was clearly in pain when doing basic drives and was ultimately ruled out, due to the left-calf injury he suffered in the Bulls' Game 4 triple-overtime win in Chicago.
Regardless, not only are the Bulls used to being undermanned, after beating Miami while being short-handed in the past, they are confident, though realistic about their perception as underdogs.
