The STELLAR Shure SE535!
Pros: Incredibly spacious sound-stage, deep and extended low-end, amazingly smooth and clear mid-range, bright and lively high-end.
Cons: Price (for most), ruthlessly merciless to poor sources and source materials.
Received these beauties around early february, I then proceeded to initially connect them to my Nokia Lumia 800 and was moderately impressed by the sound quality. Before taking the leap to purchase these, I had read multiple reviews from Head-Fi.org and Google, suffice to say I was not thoroughly impressed with these; it sounded slightly muddy and distorted which prompted the realisation that I had just wasted my money ordering these from a Hong Kong retailer. I refused to give up yet, and my persistence on the web revealed that the Nokia Lumia 800 was infamous for its atrocious music playback quality.
I then decided to invest in a high-end portable audio player and after reading several reviews, I purchased the Cowon iAudio 9 and transferred my flac music files onto it. Now I truly understood why so many people had been praising these IEMs, the sound-stage was considerably wider, the lows had a signficant amount more impact and extension, the mids were amazingly clear, the highs were incredibly revealing and lively and the fantastic stereo seperation allowed me to pick out details in the music that I never knew were there - on some tracks, I was so shocked by the new details which I was hearing that I began wondering how I never knew they existed. This provided the perception of being in a live concert due to how lively and incredibly smooth these monitors sounded in my ears.
These monitors are EXTREMELY unforgiving to poor sources and source materials. Put rubbish in; receive rubbish in return. These monitors will reveal ALMOST everything you give them; providing the source and source materials are up to par.
If the bass seems light to you, mids sound recessed, highs sound bright/sibilant and sound-stage sounds small, then the problem could be one of the following: YOU DO NOT have a good enough seal, you've spent too much time listening to bass-heavy/coloured low-end earphones, you're using the wrong tips, your source is pathetic (YES - that applies to over 95% of all apple 'i' products; be it iPods or iPhones), your source material is pathetic (if you want to listen to low-bitrate music files, then why are you even reading this?!), you're pushing the ear sleeves too low on the nozzle (they should be right at the notch on the nozzle to prevent sibilant sounding highs and improve the sound stage).
Obtain all of the aforementioned factors and enjoy pure sonic bliss courtesy of the Shure IEMs engineers
The Shure SE535 is simply STELLAR and will NEVER be the limiting factor in one's quest for portable audio perfection!

This is not yet another git vs Mercurial debate. I admit bias towards git, which I use whenever I have a choice. This is most of the time now that gitifyhg is awesome. However, I have been using Mercurial for my day job for about a year. I am more familiar with Mercurial and it's extensions than many developers who prefer it. I consider myself an advanced git user (not an expert) and an intermediate Mercurial user.
I therefore have the background to claim that Mercurial and git are equally capable. Mercurial doesn't have certain features of git that I miss, but those features are implementable with development time. Sometimes git's interface isn't as easy to use or teach as I would like, but aliases and projects like git extras alleviate this issue.
This article is about philosophy, not technology. Mercurial's documentation, mailing lists, and stack overflow questions are littered with dire warnings that extensions that rewrite history are dangerous and best avoided. Git, on the other hand, takes a "consenting adults" approach to history rewriting. While it acknowledges that rewriting history can be dangerous and should be avoided in certain circumstances, it also allows the coder to choose when and how to apply this rule.
To avoid comparing the two systems, I'll refer to the two styles as "permanent history" and "mutable history". Both git and Mercurial are fully capable of maintaining both styles of history. However, Mercurial users tend to prefer "permanent," while git users typically adopt a "mutable" approach.
The permanent history philosophy emphasizes that a changeset cannot be altered once it has been committed. It is important to record exactly what state the repository was in when the commit was made. If that state is not acceptable, then a new commit is made to correct it. Future readers of the history in question will see that a commit was made and that later, it was amended in another commit. Permanent history is analogous to a captain's log or accountant's general journal. Every action should be recorded separately.
The goal of committing in the permanent history paradigm is to record a specific state of the repository.
The mutable history philosophy, in contrast, sees changesets as individual paragraphs in a living story. It can and should be edited to ensure it tells the story as effectively and coherently as possible. Each changeset should have a topic sentence (the commit message) and supporting sentences (the patch). When a commit is initially made, the book is never assumed to be in the final draft that will go to the publisher.
The goal of committing in the mutable history paradigm is to record a related set of changes.
The different stages of code history
There are several stages that changesets go through as a program is written. These stages are perceived differently by the two styles.
- Working directory changes have not yet been committed.
- Local changesets have been committed but not yet pushed to any public repository.
- Public changesets have been published to a public repository and are available to other coders.
The working directory stage is treated identically by the two philosophies. If it hasn't been committed, both styles have an "anything goes" attitude. If you screw something up and fix it, you are not expected to commit the bad code for posterity. If you leave a debugging statement in the code but catch it in a
git|hg diff command, just delete it before committing. If your tests aren't passing during the uncommitted changes stage, edit the files to make sure they do pass.
The attitudes diverge slightly when it is time to commit the changes in the working directory. Neither style requires committing all of the changes that are in the working directory. For example, if you edit a test that is not related to the feature you are about to commit, you can separate the two diverse changes into separate commits. However, this practice is more common in mutable history circles than permanent, largely because permanent history coders want to record the current state of the repository while mutable history followers are focusing on related changes.
The two histories have polar opposite beliefs about the local changeset stage. Permanent history maintains that a committed changeset should not be altered in any way. Some proponents may allow amending or rolling back the most recent commit, provided it has not been pushed publicly. They frown upon editing the "second last" or earlier commits, even if they haven't been published.
Mutable history, on the other hand, takes the same "anything goes" approach that applies to the working directory stage. If changes have never been pushed publicly, then the mutable historian will comfortably rearrange and reorder them, move patch hunks from one changeset to another, or squash relevant commits together.
Permanent history fans may be surprised to learn that their philosophy on public commits is the same as mutable history's. Once a commit has been pushed to the permanent public repository, both philosophies consider that it should not be changed, ever. If mutable history is likened to writing a story with coherent chapters, then public commits are like a published book. Once it has been published, the book should not be altered.
Let me reiterate: altering permanent published history is considered a Bad Thing by both philosophies.
There is a fourth stage available in the mutable style that permanent history does not allow. This "temporary public" stage lies between the local changesets and public changesets phases. At this stage, other people can see your changesets before they are moved into permanent public history. They may be rearranged and edited as if they are local history, but there must be agreement between all viewers that this section of history is still considered mutable. This is akin to sharing a draft of the book with a proofreader or copy-editor before it is published.
The source code for git itself is managed in this way, as discussed in maintain-git.txt. While it contains permanent public branches that canot be altered, it also describes a "pu" branch that is temporary public. This branch is used to share the state of upcoming changesets; other developers can provide feedback, not only on the quality of the code, but also on the quality of individual patches, commit messages, and ordering.
History Is Communication
There are several reasons to maintain code history. Some examples include:
- Preserve a record of past state in case you need to return to it.
- Compare two versions of a code base and to find the specific code that introduced a new bug.
- Concurrent development via patching and merging is virtually impossible without it.
However, the primary purpose of code history is to communicate. Each changeset implicitly communicates that the developer had some reason to take a snapshot of the repository at that time. It communicates exactly what the state of the repository was when the snapshot was taken, and is even able to communicate what changed between that snapshot and the previous one. The commit message describes these changes in English, preferably with a one line summary followed by a complete description of what changed and why.
While the two ideologies agree that history is extremely useful for communication, mutable and permanent history disagree as to what should be communicated.
Permanent history's main purpose is to communicate "honestly" what happened, for all posterity to see. Each snapshot shows exactly what occurred in the repository. Two developers created different changesets in parallel and then at some specified point, they merged them. Someone forgot to delete a debugging statement and made a second commit to fix it.
Mutable history prefers to communicate "effectively". The goal is to make local changesets as readable as possible before pushing them. Each changeset ideally contains a single related set of changes. Related changesets are further grouped together on individual branches. If this is not the case, they are modified or moved before being made public.
If you catch a problem in mutable history after committing but before pushing publicly, fix the commit. If two distinct changesets actually communicate a single idea, squash them together. If a single changeset contains two ideas, split them apart or move one to a different branch so the current one only contains cogent changes.
The permanent history crowd suggests that this rewriting of local changes before they are pushed is dishonest, or lying. However, it is easy to lie at the working directory stage in the permanent history paradigm. If you run an
hg|git diff and notice that you forgot to delete a debugging statement committing, then it is perfectly acceptable to delete that line and "lie" about having forgotten it.
If they truly wanted to record what "honestly" occurred, permanent history tools would track every single change at the text editor or IDE level.
I think we all agree that this is ridiculous. In truth, permanent history shares mutable history's desire to have clean, communicative commits. The primary difference is deciding when it's "too late" to change them. In permanent history, once committed, you can't change it. In mutable history, you can and should change it up until the point it is pushed to a permanent public repository.
The ability to change history before pushing allows the developer to separate the two distinct tasks of "coding" and "organizing". Often, when coding, we encounter a separate issue that needs to be addressed, a missing feature, a bug, documentation that needs writing. In strict permanent history paradigm, your only "honest" option is to commit both features in a single changeset. However, permanent history rules are relaxed before the first commit has been made, so two other available options are:
stashthe existing changes, write and commit the second feature, and then
stash apply
- write the two distinct features in the same working directory and use git's index or Mercurial's
crecordextension to commit them as separate patches.
These options are commonly used by mutable history developers, but they also have another option: Commit the two features and continue coding. Then reorganize or split the changesets into a sensible series of commits appropriate to good communication before pushing the features to a permanent public repository.
To create clean, well-ordered commits, the permanent history style demands that we think about one thing at a time and decide what the most relevant history communication path is before we start coding.
The mutable history style understands that programming doesn't work this way. It is common and acceptable to begin work on one feature and discover a bad comment or
FIXME you had forgotten and perform a psychological context switch to work on that.
One of my colleagues once informed me that "Mercurial is for people who don't need to hide their mistakes." This is bullshit for two reasons. First, Mercurial, like git, is perfectly capable of hiding mistakes. It's easy to edit local unpublished changesets in Mercurial before pushing them live. There are numerous extensions — both third party and built in — that allow this kind of operation.
Second, this statement deliberately misrepresents the purpose of history rewriting. We don't rewrite history to hide our mistakes. We do it for the benefit of future readers of our
git|hg log. Reorganizing history when we write it greatly reduces the cognitive overhead for readers trying to understand what we did and why. History, like code, is meant to be read more often than it is written. Crafting it before pushing it publicly eases the amount of work for future readers of that history.
It is difficult to understand a series of cumulative changesets that keep undoing themselves or refactor large sections of code. It is better to order these changesets such that they make sense. I'm not saying that only the final product should be committed, if other changesets are able to communicate useful information. There are legitimate reasons, regardless of history ideology, to record mistakes in the permanent record of the repository. If the mistake has already been pushed publicly, the best thing to do is admit that you did not communicate as effectively as you had intended and make a new changeset to fix the problem. This is akin to providing an errata to a published book.
Another good reason is to record that some experiment you attempted was a failure. Perhaps it made the system unbearably slow or it arbitrarily deletes data. These commits can live in a branch in permanent history, forever documenting that this experiment was attempted, that it failed (so people don't waste time trying it again), and how it failed (in case someone else wants to improve upon your design). Neither philosophy advocates the hiding of this kind of mistake. However, mutable history does expect that the failed commits be well ordered with commit messages that effectively communicate what you did and what went wrong.
History is a form of documentation. Like any documentation, it should be well-crafted and report the evolution of the system effectively. For example, one of the best early pieces of advice I received when I started using git (and inadvertantly learned the mutable history philosophy) is to "never use the word 'and' in a commit message." The word "and" is a sign that you are trying to communicate two different ideas or changes in a single changeset.
There are other motivators for this piece of advice in addition to disseminating useful information. If you ever want to revert certain related changes, it is easier to do so if those changes exist in a single patch or consecutive set of patches. There is no need to extract the changes that you want to keep from combined snapshots. Both DVCS's provide commands to trivially reverse earlier changesets, but this is only useful if the changesets contain only the idea you wish to reverse. It also eases communication when a commit message says "reverse the changes from revision X," compared to "reverse some of the changes that do this and this as committed in revision X, but allow the lines that perform an unrelated operation alone."
Further, if you want to apply an individual set of changes to a different branch of the project without merging an entire branch, it is a trifling matter if those changes are part of a single coherent, cohesive, consecutive set of patches.
Finally, if you don't have write access to a project, single idea changesets make it easy for the person who is integrating your patches to see what you did and what you intended. Mutable history integrators will generally reject your patches if they do not communicate effectively. You are unlikely to ever get write access to an upstream project (if it follows the mutable history paradigm) if you do not prove that you adhere to the single concept per changeset guideline.
Admittedly, it takes more effort to alter history than to just take a snapshot when you feel the code is in a semi-acceptable state or you want to have a backup available. This effort has a huge long-term payoff. When people say that they don't care about maintaining clean history, I get the same sense of distaste as "I don't bother with writing tests" or "I tend to put documentation off to the last minute". Not maintaining clean history is a sign of a lazy developer. You may be saving yourself time by just committing, but you are adding overhead to everyone who ever has to interpret your commit history, including yourself.
Code Review
Code review is an extremely useful tool for improving the state of a source code repository. It's a simple concept: other members of the team review each changeset and make suggestions for future improvement.
Reviewers using the permanent history philosophy can improve the quality of the future codebase, but they cannot suggest improvements to patches already under review. They do not have an opportunity to improve the communication quality of those patches if they have been pushed publicly, which is normally the case if you want to share patches for review.
The mutable history style changes the point at which modifications are not allowed from "in the local directory" to "publicly pushed to the permanent repository". Code can be pushed to a temporary public location for review purposes. Other team members can review it and comment on the quality, not only of the code, but also of the individual changesets. Once review is completed, and any suggestions integrated into the change history, the temporary repository can be safely deleted.
Thus, the code review phase becomes more than a review of the code, it is also a patch review, a history review. Code review gives other developers the chance to say, "This patch could communicate more effectively if…".
Incremental Merging
The most dangerous moments in version control occur when two different branches of development that touch overlapping pieces of code have to be merged.Someone has to figure out what the two original sets of changes did and then figure out what the combined code has to do to accommodate both ideas. If the branches have been divergent for a long period of time, this job is nearly as difficult as rewriting both features entirely from scratch.
This is compounded by the fact that normally, the two different branches were written by different developers. While the person doing the merge may be intimately familiar with their own work, they have to become just as well-versed in the alternate branch before they can merge it safely.
Worse, all of these changes get combined into a large "merge commit" that basically includes the entire modified history of the two feature branches squished into a single gigantic diff. This is horrible for communication. If just one line of code was inappropriately merged, it becomes a nightmare to answer the question, "why did this work on the feature branch but fail after the merge"?
In the permanent history paradigm, it is common to attempt to alleviate this problem by merging frequently. This way, a smaller subset of changes can be covered in each merge. Unfortunately, this is a terrific way to introduce malicous or erronious changes into the history. People tend to assume merge commits "did the right thing" and don't review them as closely as the patches being merged.
Moreover, the history becomes much less readable as these unnecessary merge commits clutter up the intention of both feature branches. Such commits do not serve any communication purpose other than, "the developer of this branch was afraid that divergent changes would be too hard to merge at a later, more appropriate time."
The cognitive overhead is greatly reduced in the mutable history paradigm. Mutable history encourages rebasing over unnecessary merging. Instead of merging two branches of commits, rebasing makes one branch appear linearly after another branch. When rebased, the branch contains a series of commits that make sense in a linear order with no confusing merges in the history.
When you rebases a branch, each individual changeset is applied against the upstream branch, one at a time. Because the changesets contain small unit of changes, they are less likely to conflict, and therefore apply cleanly. When there is a conflict, it is easier to tell (from both the commit message and the code) how the code needs to be written to apply that changeset against new changes. This "one change at a time" process is much easier to apply than a single large merge commit. In addition, if you have previously rebased a branch and reordered commits for optimal communication, you will find that future merges or rebases onto other branches are even easier.
This means that, compared to a merge, you do not need to be as intimate with upstream changes from other developers. You figure out how you would have written each of your own changeset if you had been applying them directly to the upstream branch. This is not nearly so mentally fatiguing as trying to unravel two parallel sets of changes a la "ok, they did this, and I did this so I need to do this to get things back into a sane state".
While I am avoiding a git vs Mercurial debate here, I'd like to point out that the various Mercurial utilities for rebasing and history editing are not very effective as compared to git's tools. The rebase extesion, histedit, Mercurial queues, and pbranch all do the job, but they require more effort than in git. They don't have git's famous rerere functionality, they have potential to lose or obliterate history altogether, and they are neither as well integrated nor maintained as git's tools. I do not say this to convince you to switch to git, but to point out that if you have tried these tools and found them lacking, it is not because the concept of rebasing and mutable history is a bad thing, but because the tools require further development.
Note that while mutable history users avoid unnecessary merges whose soul purpose is to reducing merge fatigue, they are not averse to merge commits that communicate useful information. So it is perfectly sensible to create a merge commit that demonstrate that a feature branch (usually containing a linear set of related changesets) has been merged into default. However, before the merge occurs, the feature branch should have its history edited in such a way that the entire branch will apply cleanly and no merge conflicts will occur that require any diff to be committed with the merge.
Have your cake and eat it, too
Distributed version control systems allow us to have multiple copies of repos in different states. If you feel strongly that an "honest" permanent history is important, perhaps it would be a good idea to keep this honest copy of history in a separate repository or a different branch. But for the sake of effective, coherent communication, maintain the main history in a mutable style.
In git, this can be done with branches. Simply do the development work on one branch (maybe give it a name like permanent/branchname to identify it as such). Push all changes to this branch as they occur. However, keep your master branch clean for most effective communication. When a feature is ready to go live, create a new branch from the commits on the permanent branch and rebase them onto master in a well-ordered manner that communicates clearly.
I'm not sure how viable this would be in Mercurial, since it's not easy to copy commits between branches. More likely, it would be suitable to have two repositories; one that contains the permanent historical record, and one that contains the edited history.
I don't personally believe this is necessary. The mutable history paradigm communicates everything I need it to. However, if you are unsure if you are ready to make the switch, I want to make it clear that it is possible to maintain both styles for a period while you experiment with the idea. If it turns out you don't like the mutable history paradigm, you can always delete the offending mutable branches or repository… though, of course, this would be a mutation of history in itself.
I expect people who perform this experiment to realize that well-crafted history is worth the small amount of extra up-front effort required to maintain it.

Seasoned for Destination
Yamaha specifically seasons this piano for the U.S. market. The tuning stability, finish and overall musical integrity are enhanced over the long life expected of a fine piano.
Permanent Crown Solid Soundboard
Yamaha utilizes a process that creates a permanent crown in the soundboard and at the same time minimizes soundboard cracking. The customer can feel confident that not only will the piano last for years, but the beautiful sound of a Yamaha piano will last a lifetime.
Solid Spruce Soundboard
At the Yamaha lumber mill and wood processing facility, the finest spruce is quarter sawn and less than 10% of the total is selected and reserved for Yamaha piano soundboards. Solid spruce, rather than laminated spruce or poplar is the choice in all fine pianos for the best amplification of sound, best tone and sustain.
Full Length Ribs
Yamaha reinforces the crown in its soundboards by using ribs that continue to the edge of the soundboard, and are glued into the notched liner (or inner rim on the grand piano). Reinforcing the crown ensures that the tone quality will remain for years and years and improves tuning stability.
V-Pro Plate
Yamaha uses V-Pro (Vacuum Shield Mold Process) in casting the iron frame (plate). V-Pro plates are stronger and visually more appealing. Critical dimensions are produced more accurately than before.
Extruded Aluminum Action Rails
Yamaha engineering developed a unique Extruded Aluminum Alloy Action Rail (bearing a Yamaha patent) this is one of the best innovations for improving a piano action in the last 100 years. The usual fluctuations in wood rails that effect touch, caused by periodic weather changes, is eliminated allowing stable, long-lasting action regulation.
Balanced Action
Each key of a Yamaha piano is individually tested and measured for the corrections needed to obtain uniform "down weight" pressure. Yamaha actions play correctly and uniformly. This balancing helps ensure a lifetime of superior touch and control across the keyboard.
Uniform Key Travel
Yamaha designs all grand and vertical pianos to have the same key travel. Regardless of size, type or model of Yamaha piano, the keyboards will always feel the same.
Spruce Keys
Yamaha uses Spruce for the keys on all models of pianos. Spruce is very light and possesses a very high ratio of strength to weight. It is ideal for key construction, even though its cost is greater than either sugar pine or basswood. Yamaha keyboards respond quickly providing fast repetition for the most intricate piece of music. Yamaha keyboards withstand heavy use over years of fortissimo passages.
Yamaha Servicebond SM Assurance Program
The Yamaha Servicebond SM Assurance Program is provided to the customer, without additional charge, 3-8 months after delivery of their piano. This service is a thorough check up and adjustment procedure to "rejuvenate" a piano after play-in and acclimation to its new environment. After 3-8 months or so of settling and becoming acclimatized, the piano will receive the benefit of a service visit to return it to the conditions specified by the manufacturer.

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) programs are stormwater programs required by the federal Clean Water Act. Municipal separate storm sewer systems collect polluted runoff that would otherwise make its way into local waterways. These webinars are offered as part of CBF's on-going commitment to helping communities reduce stormwater pollution. Check our collection of additional resources, documents, and websites.
CBF hired the Williamsburg Environmental Group (now part of Stantec), to provide assistance to the City of Falls Church and the City of Lynchburg in preparing to meet new requirements under their Virginia Small MS4 permits. For Lynchburg, the project helped develop a public outreach and education plan. For Falls Church, the project helped develop standard operating procedures, tools, spreadsheets, and reporting mechanisms to capture its progress on meeting MS4 permit requirements, from education and outreach to nutrient management and Best Management Practices (BMPs) on the land. Two free webinars are now offered to provide municipalities with information on these kinds of activities.
This webinar offered the City of Falls Church guidance on developing standard operating procedures, tools, spreadsheets, and reporting mechanisms to capture progress in meeting MS4 permit requirements. Referenced documents are available for download:

In June 2014, CBF and the Center for Watershed Protection (CWP) offered two free webinars for Pennsylvania municipal officials and engineers in Blair and York Counties. The webinars assisted officials in developing Chesapeake Bay pollution reduction plans and local TMDL plans, both related to municipal stormwater permitting requirements.
CBF and CWP have been assisting communities in York and Blair Counties to develop their stormwater pollution reduction plans. The two webinars provide data and details, and also spotlight the stormwater successes happening in York and Blair counties.
This webinar offers details and suggestions for developing MS4 TMDL plans. Suggestions and examples are based on the innovative approaches being taken by 12 municipalities in Blair County to develop their MS4 TMDL Plan.
This webinar offers details and suggestions for developing Chesapeake Bay Pollution Reduction plans. Recommendations are based on the successful and innovative approaches taken by 45 municipalities in York County. Together with the York County Planning Commission and other partners, these communities have developed a county-wide Chesapeake Bay Pollution Reduction Plan.
This free Pennsylvania MS4 webinar was made possible by a grant from the William Penn Foundation and presented by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation Pennsylvania Office.
This webinar provides
Fact sheets and other resources on low-impact, environmentally sensitive, and green infrastructure practices, designs, and potential funding options.

A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.
For example, for all things political, you should listen to what Yardley, Perry, and myself have to say, and take the rest with a grain of salt.

Operation Enduring Freedom began after the Taliban rejected U.S. demands made following terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Bush had called on Afghanistan's leaders to close terrorist training camps and hand over al Qaeda leaders, including Osama bin Laden. The president also demanded the return of all unjustly detained foreign nationals and the opening of terrorist training sites to U.S. inspection. When the terrorist ignored those demands, about 15 land-based bombers and 25 Navy strike aircraft from carriers launched the first strikes in Operation Enduring Freedom. In addition, U.S. and British ships and submarines launched some 50 Tomahawk missiles, then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Richard Myers reported that day.
Do you still not believe that the reason for invading Afghanistan was to capture and bring to trial Osama Bin Laden and leaders of Al Qaeda as stated in Wikipedia?
By the way, I have no problem with the fact that we went after Bin Laden in Afghanistan. The only thing I dislike about the war in Afghanistan is that we did not follow through on capturing or killing Bin Laden. Here are a few quotes from W about Bin Laden."The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him."
- G.W. Bush, 9/13/01
"I want justice...There's an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive,'"
- G.W. Bush, 9/17/01, UPI
"...Secondly, he is not escaping us. This is a guy, who, three months ago, was in control of a county [sic]. Now he's maybe in control of a cave. He's on the run. Listen, a while ago I said to the American people, our objective is more than bin Laden. But one of the things for certain is we're going to get him running and keep him running, and bring him to justice. And that's what's happening. He's on the run, if he's running at all. So we don't know whether he's in cave with the door shut, or a cave with the door open -- we just don't know...."
- Bush, in remarks in a Press Availablity with the Press Travel Pool,
The Prairie Chapel Ranch, Crawford TX, 12/28/01, as reported on
official White House site
"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

Roger, I've said it before and I'll say it again: bin Laden lives in a CAVE...he's on the run CONSTANTLY from Predators and Hellfire missiles...such is the life of the leader of al Qaeda......frankly, I care more about what BHO is going to do about bin Laden than I am what Bush 43 said...'cause I live in the NOW, not the past. Try it sometime...it might help you sell some real estate. And again, if you want to live in the past, you need to place a big 'ole helping of blame on Clinton...had he acted when he had the opportunity, it is HIGHLY unlikely that al Qaeda would have had the financing to put 20 terrorists on American soil to pull off the biggest terrorist attack in American history....not to mention the organization....
Now we get to see what the '09 Nobel Peace Prize winner is made of...will he escalate the war like he said he would to get elected? Will he buck up and do what his military commanders tell him he should do to get the job done? Or will we be left to watch al Qaeda and the Taliban rise to a level of power that they have yet to enjoy as soon as we pull out?
I'm sure his year and a half as a Senator and his experience as a community organizer will help him make these decisions....

Yesterday at my local comic shop the guys behind the counter were logging in a collection they just bought from some guy.
I was drooling.
In this collection was:
AT-AT with original EBS Box for 75.00
Death Star Playset w/ original box for 79.00 its only missing a support post, but the foam garbage, dianoga, and stickers are still good.
The Cantina playset with the cardboad image in prime shape for 39.00, but no box.
A vintage x-wing for 25.00
A vintage "white" tie fighter with catalog for 25.00
A vintage "charcole" black vader's tie for 29.00 w/ catalog
A landspeeder for 15.
Mill. Falcon for 65, but I think some pieces are missing like the remote on the string, and chess table, but the box is still in good condition.
2 Droid Factory works for 35 a pop, but I'm sure some stuff was missing.
And some desert scene with a back drop of the streets of tatt. I don't remember that, but they wanted 85 for that piece.
I bought the cantina playset yesterday and tonight I'm going back for the death start playset. I can't pass that up, even if its missing a support post. I was going to get it last night, but they weren't finished logging it in.
I might pick a few more pieces off, but I've been looking for the death star play set for about a good 15 years now and one has just turned up.

Retired U.N. official to discuss 'present confusion,' March 30
Posted March 25, 2004; 11:17 a.m.
Sir Brian Urquhart, who was affiliated with the United Nations for some 40 years, will speak on "The United Nations and the Present Confusion" at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 30, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Retired as an undersecretary-general for special political affairs, Urquhart served as a personal assistant to Gladwyn Jebb, who established the preparatory commission of the United Nations in London. He also was a personal assistant to the first secretary-general (Trygve Lie) and subsequently served in various capacities between 1954 and 1971 under Undersecretary-General Ralph Bunche. He was centrally involved in the conferences on peaceful uses of atomic energy, the Congo crisis in the early 1960s and peacekeeping in Cyprus, Kashmir and the Middle East.
After 1972, Urquhart was one of the principal political advisers to the secretary-general. As the undersecretary-general for special political affairs, he worked on Lebanon, Israel and Palestine, and Namibia, among others. He retired from the United Nations secretariat in 1986. Since then, he has written several books, including biographies of key U.N. figures as well as treatises on decolonization and reforming the U.N. system.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs .

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 9:08 AM GMT on July 07, 2010
Hi, Dr. Rob Carver, filling in for Jeff while he's on vacation.
The most significant weather event in the US on July 6, 2010 didn't show up on any radar. The geostationary satellites didn't see it in their constant watch over the Earth's atmosphere. Instead, the tale of this event was told by the thermometers, because the heatwave in the Northeast was the most significant event for July 6, and it will likely be the most important weather story for July 7.
The heat wave covers Pennsylvania to Maine, but Tuesday's worst was centered over New York City. All six of the stations used by the New York NWS office for climate reports (Central Park, La Guardia, JFK, Islip, Bridgeport, and Newark) set or tied the daily high temperature record. Newark and Central Park both reached 103 degrees F.
How unusual is this heat wave?
Figures 1 and 2 show how warm the highs and lows are compared to 30 year averages. Unless you were at the Great Lakes, the Midwest and Northeast have highs well above normal, with 10-15+ degree F differences over the coastal cities of the Northeast. Using my gridded temperature data, the low for New York City was 6 degrees F above normal, which should happen 30% of the time (1.1 standard deviations away from normal). The high was roughly 20 degrees above normal, which should happen only 0.29% of the time (3.04 standard deviations away from normal). This is an unusually strong heat wave.
Why it's hot
Basically, it's because there is "the Bull of a high pressure ridge [over the NE US]" to quote the Mount Holly NWS office forecast discussion. The large ridge of high pressure is forcing air to slowly descend across the Northeast, preventing clouds from forming. Without no clouds and plenty of daylight, the Sun heats the ground which then heats the air.
When will it cool down?
That's an excellent question. A trough of low pressure off the coast will bring onshore winds to the Tri-State area and MA by Thursday, so they should cool down a bit. The southern part of the heat wave, DC and Philadelphia, will have to wait for a cold front to arrive from the Great Lakes sometime Saturday to get relief.
Population affected
As Figure 3 shows, heat advisories covered most of the urban areas of the northeastern US. By my calculations, over 32 million people were under a heat advisory. Different offices have different guidelines for heat advisories. The NWS office responsible for New York issues a heat advisory if the heat index will be above 95 deg. F for two or more days or if the index will be above 100 deg. F for any length of time.
Fig.1 Plot of the difference between maximum temperature (the high for the day) and average maximum temperature in degrees F for July 6.
Fig.2 Plot of the difference between minimum temperature (the low for the day) and average minimum temperature in degrees F for July 6.
Fig.3 Plot of the active heat advisories across the northeastern US for July 6.
Heatwave impacts
The predominant impact from heat waves is increased mortality. CDC estimates that over 8,000 people died during heat waves from 1979 to 2003. That's more than all of the deaths due to lightning, flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes. The elderly, sick, poor, and very young face the worst of the effects of the heat. Wikipedia has an interesting article describing the Chicago Heat Wave of 1995, a modern heat wave with a large number of fatalities due to the heat.
Heatwave coping strategies
The Centers for Disease Control have some tips for dealing with the heat. In summary, drink plenty of water, spend time in air-conditioned buildings, and wear light-colored clothing.
Is this heat wave due to global warming?
Ah, the $64,000 question. In the absence of detailed analysis, it's hard to specify the exact cause for this heat wave, from a meteorological or climatological view point. However, events like this are consistent with research showing that heat waves are more likely with
global warming. I like the metaphor of loaded dice, global warming is not specifically responsible for any heat wave, but it will make them happen more often.
My thinking on Invest 96L is unchanged from this blog entry. In summary, I believe that 96L has a <50 % chance becoming a tropical cyclone before it makes landfall. If it does so, it will likely be near the coast when that happens. In any event though, the winds and waves it generates will likely disrupt oil spill recovery efforts. Also, I would expect a broad area of showers and 20+ mph winds will affect the Gulf coast somewhere from south Texas to Louisiana.
Next update
I'll have an update this afternoon to talk about the tropics.

Panel explores religious voices at Princeton, April 19
Posted April 13, 2006; 12:01 a.m.
A panel discussion titled "Ethics on the Edges of Life: Religious and Secular Voices at Princeton" is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 19, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
The panel will include: Cornel West, the Class of 1943 University Professor of Religion; Ryan Anderson, a 2004 alumnus and ministry coordinator for the Aquinas Institute; and senior religion majors Andrew Perlmutter and Jeremy Golubcow-Teglasi. The discussion will be moderated by Stanley Katz, a lecturer with the rank of professor in public and international affairs.
The event will include a screening of Perlmutter's documentary, "The Religion and Politics of Life and Death," which focuses on the role of religion in politics. The film features interviews with and dialogue between Princeton professors, alumni and students about whether religious arguments should be considered valid justification for public policy decisions.
An exhibition of Perlmutter's photos of the people interviewed for the film will be on view in the Bernstein Gallery of Robertson Hall.
The event is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

The one in Monroe was always Monroe's or Monroe Steak House.

What years are you thinking? Was Monroe's from early 80s to mid 90s.

Considering we have two of the most effective rush per play players (according to PFF), maybe we should give them a shot since they're already here and we don't have much money to spend in free agency
Free agent OLB Paul Kruger amassed just 1.5 sacks in six games ahead of Terrell Suggs' 2012 return from Achilles' surgery, before closing out the season with 7.5 sacks across the final eight games with Suggs in the lineup.
Kruger also had 4.5 sacks in Baltimore's four playoff wins, all with Suggs aligned opposite him. It's worth debating whether Kruger's production was at least partially a product of Suggs commanding increased defensive attention. We fully expect 26-year-old Kruger to command a massive free-agent deal, but the sack statistics suggest he's more of a complementary than franchise pass rusher.
If you can replace the money Bushrod wants with a better left tackle for much less money in the first round, that should be the pick
I'm not sure someone like Dion Jordan is even an upgrade over Junior and Tez.
that may not even be an upgrade over what we have.
good Kruger info. link please
If you can replace the money Bushrod wants with a better left tackle for much less money in the first round, that should be the pick.
Don't see that in a guy like Jordan
A tackle is never a franchise changer
Let C. Brown be relied on to protect Brees' blind side all year and we'll probably see a major franchise change when Brees is in traction.
This isn't Madden where ya look at a guys rating and plug him in. The Saints approach to OL is a little diff but don't let that make you think LT is just a filler position from whoever ya have on the roster.

I'm glad to know the plot of this movie. At first I thought it was a revisionist history of the Sully plane landing - with the plane being upside-down and Sully being a black African American of color.
But now, it's Hollywood's attempt to make a hero out of a substance abuser because he's an "oppressed" minority with "personal demons" - most likely caused by having to compete on a level playing field instead of having Affirmative Action tip the scales in his favor even more.

Native American artists at Wilson College, April 4-8
Posted March 30, 2005; 10:07 p.m.
Artist Douglas Miles will be in residence at Princeton's Wilson College from Monday through Friday, April 4-8.
Miles, the founder of Apache Skateboards, will be joined by a group of young Native American artists and performers known as the Native Agent Arts Collective. They will collaborate on an installation and performance piece, "POP LIFE 2," that will premiere at 8 p.m. Friday, April 8, in Wilcox Hall.
The Native Agent Arts Collective is made up of poets, DJs, skaters and graffiti artists/painters from various North American tribes, such as the Osage, Apache, Pueblo, Kiowa, Navajo, Akimel O'Otham and Seminole. "POP LIFE 2," the performance, is as multidisciplinary as the group, involving live graffiti, music, poetry and skateboarding.
Several related events also are scheduled:
• An exhibition of artwork by Miles, including some skateboard decks, will be on display in Wilcox Hall throughout the week; an opening reception is set for 5 p.m. Monday, April 4, in the Wilcox Commons.

Hello all
help adapting a belkin usb hub {F5L009} to ubuntu linux
Hello all
The title pretty much says it all. I have a belkin usb network hub that is well integrated in win7 but since I ditched micro$haft for a much better option I was hoping to find someone who might know of drivers developed for this device. I am a novice at Linux but willing to learn. If no drivers are available how about some sort of modification to the device or firmware?
Thanks in advance

Women business owners discuss ways to maximize brain power
"Brain Gym 102"will be the topic of the Binghamton University Small Business Development Center's Women Business Owners Roundtable from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, September 26, at the Holiday Inn Arena on Hawley Street in downtown Binghamton.
Janice Fiore, a consultant and licensed Brain Gym practitioner, will teach participants simple movements that can stimulate brain function. Brain Gym, which grew from clinical studies started in 1969, uses targeted movements to improve brain functions such as concentration, memory, reading and organization skills. Using Brain Gym, Fiore will also help participants discover communication skills, positive attitude and increased self-esteem.
The roundtable costs $10 a person payable at the door and includes a continental breakfast. Attendees are encouraged to bring business cards and brochures to share.
Advance registration is required. Call Binghamton University's Small Business Development Center at 607-777-4024 to register.

Princeton's windows are striking in often surprising ways, and sometimes form and function combine to create something more beautiful than its parts. The Icahn Laboratory's innovative atrium is one example: It features a southwest-facing glass wall built without the mullions that normally hold glass in place. Instead, the windows were sealed with special glazing and secured by a system of vertical steel cables mounted to the interior surfaces of the glass. A set of 40-foot aluminum louvers — seen here from an angle — shade the atrium by rotating in time with the daily movements of the sun to maximize shade; a computerized timer adjusts for the changing seasons.

Signatures in light: The windows of Princeton
Posted November 28, 2011; 12:00 p.m.
Whether they inspire delight, or simply serve their daily function of admitting light, the windows of Princeton University are unquestionably an integral part of the campus's personality. When designed correctly, a window can be both efficient and evocative, complementing the diverse architecture for which the University is so well known. The next time you're strolling through campus, take note of the windows you see — and notice how their reflections and moods sometimes change with the time of day and from season to season.

Sherrerd Hall uses subtle architectural details to blend in with neighboring campus buildings. One such touch is the use of white ceramic glazes known as frits on the windows to help soften the edges of the glass structure; this also makes the building more energy-efficient by reducing the amount of sunlight that enters. The nearby Mudd Manuscript Library is shown through the windows of Sherrerd Hall. (Photo by Brian Wilson)
The statesman Adlai Stevenson II, a member of the Class of 1922, was famed for his international diplomacy, particularly during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Upon his death in 1965, his Princeton classmates memorialized Stevenson through a special stained-glass window installed in the University Chapel. (Photo by Denise Applewhite)
Scarlet leaves frame exterior windows of the Princeton University Art Museum's Medieval, Byzantine and Islamic gallery room, which reopened in 2010. While the windows retain the shape from their 1929 design, specially laminated and glazed panes later replaced the galleries' original leaded windows to better control humidity, which is critical inside the museum.

The Frick Chemistry Laboratory opened in 2010 and includes a number of energy-efficient features, including photovoltaic roof panels and high-tech windows covering much of the interior facade that both admit a great deal of light and conserve energy. (Photo by Denise Applewhite)

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 8:03 PM GMT on May 15, 2010
Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) in the Atlantic's Main Development Region for hurricanes had their warmest April on record, according to an analysis of historical SST data from the UK Hadley Center. SST data goes back to 1850, though there is much missing data before 1910 and during WWI and WWII. The area between 10°N and 20°N, between the coast of Africa and Central America (20°W - 80°W), is called the Main Development Region (MDR) because virtually all African waves originate in this region. These African waves account for 85% of all Atlantic major hurricanes and 60% of all named storms. When SSTs in the MDR are much above average during hurricane season, a very active season typically results (if there is no El Niño event present.) SSTs in the Main Development Region (10°N to 20°N and 20°W to 85°W) were an eye-opening 1.46°C above average during April. This is the third straight record warm month, and the warmest anomaly measured for any month--by a remarkable 0.2°C. The previous record warmest anomalies for the Atlantic MDR were set in June 2005 and March 2010, at 1.26°C.
Figure 1. The departure of sea surface temperature (SST) from average for May 13, 2010. Image credit: NOAA/NESDIS.
What is responsible for the high SSTs?
As I explained in detail in a post on record February SSTs in the Atlantic, the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and its close cousin, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), are largely to blame for the record SSTs. The AO and NAO are climate patterns in the North Atlantic Ocean related to fluctuations in the difference of sea-level pressure between the Icelandic Low and the Azores-Bermuda High. If the difference in sea-level pressure between Iceland and the Azores is small (negative NAO), this creates a weak Azores-Bermuda High, which reduces the trade winds circulating around the High. During December - February, we had the most negative AO/NAO since records began in 1950, and this caused trade winds between Africa and the Lesser Antilles Islands in the hurricane Main Development Region to slow to 1 - 2 m/s (2.2 - 4.5 mph) below average. Slower trade winds mean less mixing of the surface waters with cooler waters down deep, plus less evaporational cooling of the surface water. As a result, the ocean heated up significantly, relative to normal, over the winter. Negative AO/NAO conditions have been dominant much of this spring as well, resulting in further anomalous heating of the MDR waters. This heating is superimposed on the very warm global SSTs we've been seeing over the past few decades due to global warming. Global and Northern Hemisphere SSTs were the 2nd warmest on record this past December, January, and February, the warmest on record in March, and will likely be classified as the warmest or second warmest on record for April, since NASA just classified April as the warmest April on record for the globe. We are also in the warm phase of a decades-long natural oscillation in Atlantic ocean temperatures called the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO). This warm phase began in 1995, and has been partially responsible for the high levels of hurricane activity we've seen since 1995.
What does this imply for the coming hurricane season?
The high April SST anomaly does not bode well for the coming hurricane season. The three past seasons with record warm April SST anomalies all had abnormally high numbers of intense hurricanes. Past hurricane seasons that had high March SST anomalies include 1969 (0.90°C anomaly), 2005 (1.19°C anomaly), and 1958 (0.97°C anomaly). These three years had 5, 7, and 5 intense hurricanes, respectively. Just two intense hurricanes occur in an average year. The total averaged activity for the three seasons was 15 named storms, 11 hurricanes, and 6 intense hurricanes (an average hurricane season has 10, 6, and 2.) Both 1958 and 2005 saw neutral El Niño conditions, while 1969 had a weak El Niño.
The SSTs are already as warm as we normally see in July between Africa and the Caribbean, and we have a very July-like tropical wave approaching the Lesser Antilles Islands this weekend. However, wind shear is still seasonably high, and the tropical waves coming off of Africa are still too far south to have much of a chance of developing. The GFS model is indicating that shear will start to drop over the Caribbean the last week of May, so we may have to be on the watch for tropical storms forming in the Caribbean then.
For those of you interested in a more detailed look at the early season tropical weather outlook, consult the excellent wunderblogs of StormW and Weather456. I'll be back with a new post on Monday.

My MySpace TF Group has turned up pictures of transforming cameras, PS1 controllers, and cell phones. I posted the alt forms here. To see .gifs of these moving and transforming, go to:
I think the could be from the movie (non characters, given the Spark, as a result of a misfire from The Matrix - well they call it an energon cube in the script I read). In any event, all 3 of these items have microchip technology. It could allow a Maximum Overdrive scenerio. You won't see an iron or a charcoal grill suddenly attack in the movie. But the script did describe a plasma television suddenly attacking someone in Target in the storyline I read. That could be scary because I once had a plasma television take nearly everything I had in my wallet while I was at Frey's. It's still around here, stalking me, and often holds me hostage in my living room, forcing me to watch the movies I post about here in the forums.
Anyway, I have a finished shot of the CGI Scorponok with the actors in the opening scene of the movie, which I'll post in the movie thread. (TV / Movies / Other Non-Star Wars)

Thread: Puffer Fish!!??
Polka dot catfish is a common name for synodontis angelicus which is not a brackish species. There is a bit of information about them here under the fish from Zaire, about the middle of the page, http://www.fishchannel.com/freshwate...catfishes.aspx
I am sorry to hear you found your fish caught in the propeller thing, a power head maybe? Was this the puffer or the catfish? Healthy fish do not get caught in power heads or filters. Maybe with some information from you we can help determine why it got stuck. Tell us how you cycled your tank, with fish or without, how often and how much water do you change, how do you clean the filters and how often, and finally can you give us the current water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels)?When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me

The local pet store told me he needed the salt so I bought it. The first one I had was a jumper and committed suicide out the back of my aquarium. This is my second catfish and since I've added the salt he does good??& his friend my newest catfish.
And yes, power head. A friend said the only way he could've got caught in it us if he were already dead or very sick which means he wasn't doing good from the time I bought him, but he seemed to be swimming ok??
& it was my little puffer that died. Which kinda upset me even tho it's just a fish... I was really looking forward to having him around!
I have the power head and a filter with carbon and all...both of which helped my ammonia problem and my tank is clear and beautiful now:)
My nitrites and nitrates have been perfect from the get go, Ph is great. Had a major ammonia problem but all is well now. So all levels are good. I normally change 10% of water 1x a week
10% is not enough. a small water change is usually 25-30%. I change roughly half of the water weekly. puffers need veryclean water. A white belly is a good indicator of water conditions. If the water is getting foul the white belly turns darker. That is not good. And puffer do not need any companions, ie catfish. fish shops should do more to educate people before selling these fish, as they are quite entertaining and intelligent.
nitrites and nitrates are never "perfect from the get go"
when you cycle a tank-you see spikes in ammonia-then they go to 0, then you see spikes in nitrites, then they go to 0, then nitrates go to 0 through water changes.
the fact that you've never seen nitrites/nitrates means you've never cycled your tank.
hence why you've recently had an ammonia spike.
10% water changes is not near enough with your current set up. if you want your fish to at least surivive (albeit they'll struggle in that tank) you'll need at least 70% water changes minimum per week.
it sounds like you care, so if you want a healthy set up, you really need to reconsider your current set up.

Well...... As soon as I noticed all the ammonia I started changing 50-75% water, even broke it completely down once because things got so cloudy and ammonia tests were horrible. But, my fish are fine and healthy- other than the puffer. Now that my tank is clear and ALL tests are good, I only change 10-25% depending on a lot of things. By the way, I appreciate the advice..but this was about my now dead fish- not my tank. So thanks you guys, have a nice evening:)
All the things addressed to you would have preveneted the dead puffer, so everything was absolutely relevant. EVERYTHING in a tank is connected and if you've got one dead fish, it's likely there is something wrong with your tank....
Everything is most likely 'fine' now because you broke your tank down and started the whole process over.
Watch those tests. You'll be cycling again before long.130g: 4 Angelfish, 2 Roseline Sharks, 12 Conga Tetras, 5 Kuhli Loaches, 1 Otocinslus, 1 Corydora

I broke the tank down probably in the middle of February. I tested everything again last night and all tests are good.

Iodine is a naturally occurring chemical. Small amounts are needed for good health. However, large doses can cause harm. Children are especially sensitive to the effects of iodine.
NOTE: Iodine is found in certain foods. However, there is normally not enough iodine in foods to harm the body. This article focusses on poisoning from exposure to non-food items that contain iodine.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or a local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
Note: This list may not be all inclusive.
Seek immediate medical help. DO NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by Poison Control or a health care professional.
Give the person milk, or cornstarch or flour mixed with water. Continue to give milk every 15 minutes. DO NOT give these items if the patient is having symptoms (such as vomiting, convulsions, or a decreased level of alertness) that make it hard to swallow.
If possible, determine the following information:
However, DO NOT delay calling for help if this information is not immediately available.
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. The patient may receive:
How well a patient does depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment was received. The faster a patient gets medical help, the better the chance for recovery.

Cowen & Co.'s Robert Stone today offers his outlook on what we might learn at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week, and its impact on stocks of electronic component suppliers such as Universal Display (PANL), Neonode (NEON), Synaptics (SYNA), DTS (DTSI), and Rovi (ROVI), some of which have elevated short interest ratios.
Organic OLED maker Universal, whose stock he rates Outperform, looks "high," he writes, buy which he means apt to rise, based on the prospect of good news flow out of CES regarding razor-thin OLED 55-inch television sets from Samsung Electronics (005930KS) and LG Electronics (066570KS), which first debuted a year ago at the show. "The key question for 2013 is, when will they ship," Stone asks of the dazzling TVs. He thinks big volume doesn't happen till 2014, "but reaching stores is still an important milestone."
Echoing remarks today by JMP's Alex Gauna, Stone thinks new display technology for smartphones will be the bigger deal for Universal in 2013:
New Mobile Displays Could Be Biggest Trigger. Samsung may introduce full HD 1920×1080 (441 PPI), 4.99-inch AMOLED displays. We expect higher resolution to be a key part of the 2013 smart phone feature battle. Samsung is also expected to show 1280×720 (267 PPI), 5.5″ flexible substrate displays. Both could drive OLED penetration and would entail capacity and stack recipe changes, providing an entry point to deploy PANL's PHOLED materials.
Short interest on Universal's stock may prime it for a bounce on any news, he thinks:
PANL sharply cut guidance after Q3. The ramp of green emitter and host materials was pushed out. OLED TV launches and new OEM production were also delayed. The shares are trading at 51% of the 52-week high. Short interest, though down from a mid-year peak, remains high (27% of float), with 11 days to cover.
