A strong sense of community is one of the most attractive aspects of living in Charleston, and Charleston magazine celebrated those individuals and organizations dedicated to giving back to and improving our great city with the Giving Back Awards at the Charleston Music Hall on Friday, November 18.
Award nominees gathered at the Charleston Place Hotel for a VIP cocktail hour before being shuttled off to the Charleston Music Hall, where guests posed for the camera on the red carpet. After mugging for the camera, partygoers squeezed into the lobby for a cocktail hour with some of Charleston's most admirable philanthropists.
Soon everyone made their way into the hall, where Quianna Parler and the Charleston Jazz Orchestra captivated the crowd before the start of the awards ceremony.
The evening was a lesson in the power of the individual and the importance of community, and guests cheered loudly for each very deserving honoree. Patricia Coker-Bolt, Tara Guerard, The Charleston School of Law, and Mickey Bakst delivered moving speeches of gratitude and humility, and the audience came to their feet as Dr. Charles Darby received the Jerry Zucker Lifetime Achievement Award.
Vocalist Leah Suarez joined the Charleston Jazz Orchestra on stage for a beautiful performance after the intermission, and partygoers texted their choice for the Nonprofit of the Year as the show began to draw to a close. The American Red Cross, Camp Happy Days, Pattison's Academy, Rein & Shine, and the Roper St. Francis Ryan White Program each presented moving, informative videos regarding their organizations, and the audience again came to their feet as the American Red Cross received the 2011 Giving Back Award for Nonprofit of the Year. CJO conductor Charlton Singleton wrapped up the evening's festivities with a beautiful tune in tribute to beloved Lowcountry writer, historian, and jazz activist Jack McCray.
The Giving Back Awards are hosted annually by Charleston magazine to support, promote, and recognize nonprofit organizations throughout the Lowcountry. This year's Giving Back Awards was presented in association with the Coastal Community Foundation, and finalists and winners were voted on by Charleston residents.

Multitasking technology allows manufacturers to select from a variety of part production scenarios. However, it's not always easy to identify the most efficient process for a job. In response, Mazak will host a free webinar on Tuesday, February 18 at 2 p.m. EST that will explore the role CAM software plays in process planning and optimizing mill-turn operations.
Derek Patrick, Esprit application engineer for DP Technology, will present this Mazak webinar titled "Process Planning for Improved Multitasking Machining." He will discuss how process planning via CAM software can take the complexity out of multitasking machining so manufacturers can produce parts easier and more efficiently.
By the end of the 30-minute webinar, participants will be able to:
- evaluate different machining scenarios and determine which one is the most efficient for their shop;
- understand how to coordinate multiple operations for maximizing machine uptime;
- calculate the average working diameter for OD and ID operations to determine if the two are a good match for simultaneous turning on the same spindle;
- use synchronization codes to coordinate simultaneous machining operations; and
- perform a time study analysis for evaluating a complete machining process.
Registration for the free webinar is now open on Mazak's website.

Syria's rebels are in retreat, President Bashar al-Assad's loyalist forces are laying waste to their former strongholds, and the death toll is mounting: the latest United Nations reports put it around 7,500. As the body count has increased, so, too, have calls for outside intervention. It's time for the West to step in — but only after honestly debating what it will take to stop the carnage.
Policy makers and advocacy groups have spent the past few weeks scrambling to come up with solutions. So far most of the discussion has focused on half-measures: arming the rebels or setting up opposition safe havens on Syria's borders. Proponents of these policies argue that they will stop the bloodshed while allowing the United States and its allies to avoid another full-scale intervention so soon after Libya.
The impulse to find a way to end the violence is understandable — indeed, I share it. But the debate over intervention to date has played up the benefits of piecemeal options while understating their dangers.
Partial measures may seem attractive, but they risk turning a small local conflict into a far messier regional war. Strange as it sounds, doing something small may be worse than doing nothing — meaning the West should go in big or stay home.

"The thing I admire about the rat tail is that it takes commitment. It's not like one day you just decide you want one, you have to grow out that bad boy and you have to repeatedly convince the hairdresser to trust you because it's a great idea."
A strong and employed working/middle class earning good wages spends more money on factory goods, cars and homes. More factorys are built to produce goods and cars. More employees are hired to work in the factories and build the homes. The economy expands and steadily grows as long as the middle class is employed and economically healthy.

But that middle class must get that employment ... in order to collect the paycheck to purchase those goods.

Leonard to give first talk in President's Lecture Series
Posted October 8, 2009; 01:16 p.m.
The graceful movements of bird flocks and fish schools inspire the research of engineer and mathematician Naomi Leonard, who will deliver the first talk in this year's President's Lecture Series at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, in 101 Friend Center.
Leonard, a 1985 Princeton graduate, is the Edwin S. Wilsey Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Her talk, "Flocks and Fleets: Collective Motion in Nature and Robotics," will describe efforts by her and others first to understand how these natural groups move in patterns that seem highly choreographed and then to apply these principles in designing robotic devices that work with unprecedented efficiency.
Fish and birds have evolved optimized ways to forage and feed by working in groups that act like a large-area sensor network. Leonard and colleagues are exploring how robots inspired by biology could work cooperatively to explore and monitor uncertain, dynamic environments in land, sea or space.
Leonard will describe her work in designing and testing an adaptive ocean observation system using a fleet of underwater robotic vehicles and an investigation of motion and decision-making in fish schools.
In 2004, Leonard was awarded a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" for her work at the intersection of biology and robotics. She is an associated faculty member of the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics and is a fellow of the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
Her talk is the first of three scheduled for this year's President's Lecture Series. Douglas Massey, the Henry G. Bryant Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs, will deliver the second talk, titled "America's War on Immigrants: Causes, Consequences and Solutions," on Thursday, Dec. 10. That will be followed by a lecture by Michael Oppenheimer, the Albert G. Milbank Professor of Geosciences and International Affairs, on Thursday, March 4. Both lectures also are at 4:30 p.m. in 101 Friend.
The lecture series was started by President Tilghman in 2001 to bring together faculty members from different disciplines to learn about the work others are doing in a variety of fields. The talks will be webcast; viewing information will be available online.

AN event occurred last Saturday night which makes us ask ourselves whether we have really passed the middle of our century. In the course of Saturday night, the twentieth of November, one died who could and did tell so much of what happened early in the reign of George the Third, that hearers felt as if they were in personal relations with the men of that time. Miss Berry was remarkable enough in herself to have excited a good deal of emotion by dying any time within the last seventy years. Dying now, she leaves as strong as ever the impression of her admirable faculties, her generous and affectionate nature, and her high accomplishments, while awakening us to a retrospect of the changes and fashions of our English intellect, as expressed by literature. She was not only the woman of letters of the last century carried forward into our own—she was not only the woman of fashion who was familiar with the gaieties of life before the fair daughters of George the Third were seen abroad, and who had her own will and way with society up to last Saturday night: she was the repository of the whole literary history of fourscore years; and when she was pleased to throw open the folding‐doors of her memory, they were found to be mirrors, and in them was seen the whole procession of literature, from the mournful Cowper to Tennyson the laureate.
It was a curious sight—visible till recently, though now all are gone—the chatting of three ladies on the same sofa—the two Miss Berrys and their intimate friend, Lady Charlotte Lindsay. Lady Charlotte Lindsay was the daughter of Lord North; and the Miss Berrys had both received, as was never any secret, the offer of the hand of Horace Walpole. It is true he was old, and knew himself to be declining, and made this offer as an act of friendship and gratitude; but still, the fact remains that she, who died last Saturday page: 554 night, might have been the wife of him who had the poet Gray for his tutor. These ladies brought into our time a good deal of the manners, the conversation and the dress of the last century; but not at all in a way to cast any restraint on the youngest of their visitors, or to check the inclination to inquire into the thoughts and ways of men long dead, and the influence of modes long passed away. It was said that Miss Berry's parties were rather blue; and perhaps they were so; but she was not aware of it: and all thought of contemporary pedantry dissolved under her stories of how she once found on the table, on her return from a ball, a volume of "Plays on the Passions," and how she kneeled on a chair at the table to see what the book was like, and was found there—feathers and satin shoes and all—by the servant who came to let in the winter morning light; or of how the world of literature was perplexed and distressed—as a swarm of bees that have lost their queen—when Dr. Johnson died; or of how Charles Fox used to wonder that people could make such a fuss about that dullest of new books—Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations." He was an Eton boy, just promised a trip to Paris by his father, when Miss Berry was born; and Pitt was a child in the nursery, probably applauded by his maid for success in learning to speak plain. Burns was then toddling in and out, over the threshold of his father's cottage. Just when she was entering on the novel‐reading age, Evelina came out; and Fanny Burney's series of novels were to that generation of young people what Scott's were to the next but one. If the youths and maidens of that time had bad fiction, they had good history; for the learned Mr. Gibbon gave them volume after volume which made them proud of their age. They talked about their poets, and, no doubt, each had an idol in that day as in our's and every body's. The earnestness, sense, feeling and point of Cowper delighted some; and they reverently told of the sorrows of his secluded life, as glimpses were caught of him in his walks with Mrs. Unwin. Others stood on tiptoe to peep into Dr. Darwin's "chaise" as he went his professional round, writing and polishing his verses as he went; and his admirers insisted that nothing so brilliant had ever been written before. Miss Berry must have well remembered the first exhibition of this brilliancy before the careless eyes of the world; and she must have remembered the strangeness of the impression when Crabbe tried the contrast of his homely pathos, encouraged to do so by Burke. And then came something which it is scarcely credible that the world should have received during the period of Johnson's old age, and the maturity of page: 555 Gibbon, and Sir William Jones, and Burns—the wretched rhyming of the Batheaston set of sentimental pedants. In rebuke of them, the now mature woman saw the theory of Wordsworth rise; and in rebuke of him, she saw the young and confident Jeffrey and his comrades arise; and in rebuke of them, saw the "Quarterly Review" arise, when she was beginning to be elderly. She saw Joanna Baillie's great frame rise and decline, without either the rise or decline changing in the least the countenance or the mood of the happy being whose sunshine came from quite another luminary than fame. She saw the rise of Wordsworth's fame, growing as it did out of the reaction against the pomps and vanities of the Johnsonian and Darwinian schools; and she lived to see its decline when the great purpose was fulfilled, of inducing poets to say what they mean, in words which will answer that purpose. She saw the beginning and the end of Moore's popularity; and the rise and establishment of Campbell's, The short career of Byron passed before her eyes like a summer storm: and that of Scott constituted a great interest of her life for many years. What an experience—to have studied the period of horrors—represented by Monk Lewis—of conventionalism in Fanny Burhey—of metaphysical fiction in Godwin—of historical romance in Scott—and of a new order of fiction in Dickens, which it is yet too soon to characterise by a phrase.
We might go on for hours, and not exhaust the history of what she saw on the side of literature alone. If we attempted to number the scientific men who have crossed her threshold—the foreigners who found within her doors the best of London and the cream of society, we should never have done. And what a series of political changes she saw—the continental wars, the establishment of American independence—the long series of French revolutions—the career of Washington, of Napoleon, of Nelson, of Wellington, with that of all the statesmen from Lord Chatham to Peel—from Franklin to Webster! But it is too much. It is bewildering to us, though it never overpowered her. She seemed to forget nothings and to notice every thing, and to be able to bear so long a life in such times; but she might well be glad to sink to sleep, as she did last Saturday night after so long‐drawn a pageant of the world's pomps and vanities, and transient idolatries and eternal passions.
Reviewing the spectacle, it appears to us, as it probably did to her, that there is no prevalent taste, at least in literature, without a counteraction on the spot, preparing society for a reaction. Miss Berry used to say that she published the later volumes of Walpole's correspondence to prove that the world was wrong in thinking him heart‐ page: 556 less heartless ; she believing the appearance of heartlessness in him to be ascribable to the influence of his time. She did not succeed in changing the world's judgment of her friend; and this was partly because the influences of the time did not prevent other men from showing heart. Charles James Fox had a heart; and so had Burke and a good many more. While Johnson and then Darwin were corrupting men's taste in diction, Cowper was keeping it pure enough to enjoy the three rising poets, alike only in their plainness of speech—Crabbe, Burns, and Wordsworth. Before Miss Burney had exhausted our patience, the practical Maria Edgeworth was growing up. While Godwin would have engaged us wholly with the interior scenery of man's nature, Scott was fitting up his theatre for his mighty procession of costumes, with men in them to set them moving; and Jane Austen, whose name and works will outlive many that were supposed immortal, was stealthily putting forth her unmatched delineations of domestic life in the middle classes of our aristocratic England. And against the somewhat feeble elegance of Sir William Jones's learning there was the safeguard of Gibbon's marvelous combination of strength and richness in his erudition. The vigor of Camphell's lyrics was a set‐off against the prettiness of Moore's. The subtlety of Coleridge meets its match, and a good deal more, in the development of science; and the morose complainings of Byron are less and less echoed now that the peace has opened the world to gentry whose energies would be self‐corroding if they were under blockade at home, through an universal continental war. Byron is read at sea now, on the way to the North Pole, or to California, or to Borneo; and in that way his woes can do no harm. To every thing there is a season; and to every fashion of a season there is an antagonism preparing. Thus all things have their turn; all human faculties have their stimulus, sooner or later, supposing them to be put in the way of the influences of social life.
It was eminently so in the case of the aged lady who is gone from us; and well did her mind respond to the discipline offered by her long and favorable life of ninety years. One would like to know how she herself summed up such an experience as hers,—the spectacle of so many everlasting things dissolved—so many engrossing things forgotten—so many settled things set afloat again, and floated out of sight. Perhaps those true words wandered once more into her mind as her eyes were closing:‐-
"We are such stuff As dreams are made of; and our little life Is rounded with a sleep."

The foreskin is a sleeve of tissue which covers the penis. At birth the foreskin is tightly attached. By mid-childhood it can be pulled over the penis when the penis is flaccid, or retracted back over the shaft of the penis during urination or erection.
The common indication for circumcision is cultural or religious desire for circumcision. Other indications (rare):
Circumcision of a newborn boy is usually done before he leaves the hospital. A numbing medication (local anesthesia such as Xylocaine) is injected into the penis to reduce pain. Ring-type clamps are placed around the foreskin, tightened like a tourniquet to reduce bleeding, and the foreskin is removed below the clamp. Sometimes a plastic clamp is used (Plastibell). The Plastibell will fall off in 5 to 8 days, after the surgical site has healed.
For both newborns and older children, circumcision is considered a very safe procedure with complete healing expected. Healing time for newborns usually takes about 1 week. Apply petroleum jelly after diaper changes to protect the healing incision. Some initial swelling and yellow crust formation around the incision is normal. Healing time for older children and adolescents may take up to 3 weeks. In most instances, the child will be discharged from the hospital on the day of the surgery.

On the surface, moderation appears to be a simple concept. Avoid extremes. Seek compromise. Order pay-per-view porn, but only watch half the movie.
It's sort of like being a hypocrite, except without most of the fun parts.
In reality, being a moderate isn't easy.
Conservatives regard moderate Republicans like Maine senators Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe as reprehensible for supporting the Democrats' economic stimulus package.
It's clear to them that moderation is a bad thing.
Liberals are outraged by middle-of-the-road Democratic legislators like Bill Diamond of Windham and John Nutting of Leeds, because they're disinclined to raise taxes to balance the state budget, preferring instead to reduce spending.
Moderation, they say, is definitely the wrong way to go.
But GOP right-wingers have been known to find common ground with Dem centrists on economic issues. And ardent leftists sometimes form coalitions with moderate Republicans on social issues. Not only are such loose alliances useful in breaking legislative logjams, they're often the only way to find out what happened in the second part of that porn flick.
For all the abuse moderates take from the fringes, they're essential to the political process. They serve as a buffer from the religious right's desire to reinstitute the Spanish Inquisition and the loony left's efforts to force everyone to work on collective farms. But in spite of the harm they prevent, there's still one incontrovertible fact about moderates.
They're the most boring people on earth.
This explains why there aren't many moderates in state government. Middle-of-the-road candidates explaining their bland approaches to legislating put voters in a coma. When they awaken, they don't even remember to whom they were talking. They end up casting their ballots for politicians who are several inches off plumb, just because they made some kind of impression. Even if it was only by recommending the best pay-per-view porn.
The Alliance for Maine's Future has a plan to change all that. Like moderates, this plan is a little on the dull side. I'll try to make this explanation as brief as possible to help you remain awake (with maybe a reference or two to sex).
The alliance is a pro-business group that supports small, efficient government. It wants lower taxes, streamlined regulations, cheaper energy, and free-market health care. Although AMF claims to be nonpartisan, its agenda has a distinct GOP economic tilt, an impression that's strengthened by its history of running newspaper ads criticizing the voting records of Democratic legislators. And then there's its choice of executive director.
Tony Payne's official biography doesn't mention it, but he's a former Republican Party state official and congressional candidate (he lost in the primary — too moderate). He's also one of a handful of GOP businesspeople who switched their registrations to the Democratic Party last spring to vote for Adam Cote, a Dem middle-of-the-roader, in the 1st District congressional primary (Cote lost — too moderate). And even though Payne is once again a registered Republican, he admits he voted for Barack Obama for president in November and even sent him a campaign contribution.
Payne thinks what the Maine Legislature needs is more moderates.
More Democratic moderates, that is.
Payne said the alliance is working with middle-of-the-road Dems to recruit centrist candidates to run against liberals in party primaries in 2010 and 2012. He hopes to create a moderate bloc of a dozen or more legislators capable of shifting the Democratic majority's left-wing policies toward the middle of the political spectrum.

Herbert's resignation demonstrates why GNOME doesn't ship flags at all. Herbert is a reasonable guy, who lives only a few kilometres away from me in Sydney, and happens to have a more personal, deeply-held perspective on the China/Taiwan issue than many of us. I guess I don't share his belief, but it should not affect our shared vision here — the progress of Free Software.
If your Free Software project only has a single, global release — and that's pretty much all of us — you should strongly advocate the removal of flags and other national symbols. These are not logical right-and-wrong debates. They're personally and nationally held beliefs that we simply can't solve as Free Software contributors.
Live on, fight the battles you can win. #
Computer World gives GNOME the thumbs up: "But I'm finding that Linux, especially with GNOME, is a lot more user friendly than the Unix I remember. [...] There are probably people in your organization right now who could become more productive with Linux and GNOME on their desktop. Maybe you need to find out more about it."
IBM is expanding their Linux Technology Centre in Canberra. More geeks in our capital city is a good thing.
Hooray, Tridge is toking the LDAP pipe! First things I think about when hearing this are Evolution and GPE... "As many of you know Samba now has a new database system called 'ldb'. ldb is like a half-way house between LDAP and tdb. [...] Of course, ldb can already act as a front-end to LDAP, presenting a LDAP database via the ldb API, so admins will have a number of flexible options for how to configure Samba."
Both Luis and Seth found this summary of Fedora's first year worth pointing out. When Fedora was first announced, I was so excited - I thought Red Hat had their strategy sorted, and were going to roll out the project like a blitzkrieg red carpet... But it seems they're still struggling. I hope they can pull it off.
I only have a few name-clones around the web, and I certainly have the best Google-juice of the lot, but here's one particularly surprising Jeff Waugh I found on Google Images. A beefy afro-american footballer... If he's not Bizarro me, I don't know who is. Hi, Jeff!
In February, the ACS came out with a hasty and ill-conceived response to the US/Australia Trade Agreement, but has come to its senses after consulting with the OSEG crew. The Australian picked this up with ACS flip-flops on FTA. Hopefully a bit of PR stick will encourage them to be more informed next time. #

How can the circumference of a circle make drivers safer? When it's part of a roundabout! Roundabouts can replace four-way intersections. They improve traffic flow and safety, especially in urban areas.
How to Drive on a Circle
Modern roundabouts should be navigated on the basis of the "yield-on-entrance" rule. This means that when you arrive at the roundabout, you must wait for a break in traffic to enter the circle. In some circles, different lanes lead to different exits. Motorists drive around the circle at about 25 miles per hour until they reach their exit.
Urban planners choose to use roundabouts because they're less congested and safer than typical intersections. In a roundabout, a "T-bone" collision (depicted above), the most dangerous type of auto accident, is impossible. Because cars are driving slowly and at a constant pace, the flow of traffic is predictable. Some experts claim that replacing traditional intersections with roundabouts would reduce injuries from accidents by 80%.

Roundabouts are becoming more common across the United States. Learn how to drive them, so you won't be surprised when you encounter one.

I cannot really exactly give an accurate review, as i dropped this series early... ;P Story: I really think the original plot is actually decent, but they just BUTCHERED IT. There are useless episodes everywere, the plot does not develop at all. They are full of Nagi being a brat. It really reminds me of Zero no Tsukaima, with abuse and stuff :( Animation: The animation is average for new shoujo anime coming out all the time. It would be considered great, back in the day.

Getting Started
Why are the mp3s larger than most mp3s?
We use higher quality encoding, widely held to produce the highest quality mp3s. It does, however, require a slightly large file size. We believe customers are prepared to wait a bit longer for that extra quality.
What bit rate do you use for you mp3s?
Unless otherwise stated, we use a constant bit rate (CBR) setting of 192kbps. For some higher quality downloads we use constant bit rate up to 320kbps.
What are FLAC files?
Some of our titles are now available in 'FLAC' format. FLAC files are more like ZIP files for audio - they're a way of sending audio at full CD quality, while taking up about 50-80% of the size of uncompressed audio files. Unlike MP3s, there's absolutely no loss of quality. Unfortunately not many things play them! Typically, FLAC files need to first be converted to a WAV or AIFF file (which will play in most players). There are free conversion tools and players for Windows, Mac and Linux here. The easiest ones are further down the page under 'GUI encoding / decoding front ends'.
What are MP4s?
A few of our stores offer MP4 format downloads. MP4s (also known as .m4a and AAC, the audio format used by Apple's iTunes store) sound virtually identical to CD due to their intelligent compression algorithm. They will play on an Apple iPod. If you own a different player, we recommend confirming that it can play MP4 files before proceeding with a purchase.
My album downloaded as a ZIP file - what do I do with it?
A ZIP file will contain all the tracks for an album grouped together. Most recent computers will automatically 'Unzip' these into a new folder when you click on them. If you have an older computer, you may need to use WinZip (PC) or Stuffit Expander (Mac) to expand the files.
I've paid for some downloads. How do I get to them?
You need to sign in to your download account, then you'll see the downloads you've bought in a box marked 'your downloads' on the right hand side of the screen.
Can I still buy credits?
Although the credit scheme proved popular with many of our customers, the majority clearly prefer to simply pay via the shopping basket. Consequently we are phasing out the credits system. If you still have credits in your account, you will still be able to use them on new and existing titles, and buy extra credits if you have insufficient left to buy the download you want. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions concerning this.
Will the rest of the Burning Shed catalogue be available as mp3s?
For the immediate future the only titles we release will be exclusively available as mp3s.
Can I copy these files?
Yes, you can copy these files to your hard-disk, to your mp3 walkman, burn them on to a CD, even record them onto wax cylinder if you so desire! However, we kindly ask that you do not share downloads with other fans, as the income from these sales is often the only income the artists will receive for these tracks.

An esophagectomy is surgery to remove part or all of the esophagus. This is the tube that moves food from your throat to your stomach. After it is removed, the esophagus is rebuilt from part of your stomach or part of your large intestine.
Most of the time, esophagectomy is done to treat cancer of the esophagus.
Trans-hiatal esophagectomy; Trans-thoracic esophagectomy; En bloc esophagectomy; Removal of the esophagus - open; Ivor-Lewis operation
There are many ways to do this surgery. Talk with your doctor about which type of surgery is best for you. It will depend on where in your esophagus the cancer is, how much it has spread, and how healthy you are.
Laparoscopy is one way to do this surgery. A laparoscope is a tiny camera that is inserted into your belly through a small surgical cut.
Open surgery is another way to do an esophagectomy. Two ways to do an esophagectomy using open surgery are:
Trans-hiatal esophagectomy:
Trans-thoracic esophagectomy:
The surgeon may also examine and do a biopsy of the lymph nodes in your belly to see if the cancer has spread to them.
En bloc esophagectomy is another type of esophagectomy. It is the most invasive of these procedures.
Most of these operations take about 3 to 6 hours.
The most common reason for removing part, or all, of your esophagus is to treat cancer. You may also have radiation therapy or chemotherapy before or after surgery.
Surgery to remove the lower part of your esophagus may also be done to treat:
Esophagectomy is major surgery and has many possible risks. Some of them are serious. You should discuss these risks with your surgeon.
Risks of this surgery, or for problems after surgery, may be greater than normal if:
Risks of any anesthesia are:
Risks of any surgery are:
Risks of this surgery are:
You will have many doctor visits and medical tests before you have surgery. Some of these are:
If you are a smoker, you should stop smoking several weeks before surgery. Your doctor or nurse can help.
Tell your doctor or nurse:
During the week before surgery:
On the day of surgery:
Most people stay in the hospital for 7 to 14 days after an esophagectomy. How long you stay will depend on what type of surgery you had. You may spend 1 to 3 days in the intensive care unit (ICU) right after surgery.
You will stay in the hospital for 10 to 14 days after en bloc esophagectomy
During your hospital stay, you will:
Many people recover well from this surgery and can eat a fairly normal diet after they recover. Talk with your doctor about the best way to treat cancer.

A sign at the Tupelo "tea party" protesting federal government spending last week asked the question, "Can we lay off Congress?" The answer is yes: We get that chance every two years for all House members and for a third of the Senate. In a republic, that is the ultimate power held by the people.
The American people elected the current president and Congress a few short months ago, and it's a hard stretch to say that the policies enacted so far are somehow a big surprise. Trillion-dollar expenditures in response to the financial crisis did, after all, precede the election and were supported by both presidential candidates and formulated by the sitting Republican administration. The Obama initiatives in Congress, including tax policy, were all enunciated on the campaign trail.
The claim in last week's rallies across the nation that Congress and the administration are ignoring the people's will itself ignores the fact that the people, if they were paying attention, knew pretty much what they would get with a Democratic victory in Congress and the White House.
A solid 60 percent of the electorate still believes the new president is doing a good job, so the political dissent expressed last week – not overtly partisan, though clearly with a Republican tint – is largely a minority view in the nation as a whole. While there is unquestionably widespread unease about the additional debt we are piling up with spending measures designed to jump-start the economy, there is still political latitude for what Congress and the administration are doing.
If the strategy appears to be working, it will be affirmed at the polls in 2010. If it doesn't, there will be congressional layoffs.
Undisciplined spending is hardly new in Congress, and it has been a very long time since fiscal conservatism was in vogue. For the last 28 years under both Republican and Democratic administrations, we have been the proverbial cake-eaters – we want lower taxes and higher spending. We do not wish to make a choice between the two.
We have griped continuously about the profligate ways of members of Congress, yet we have made it clear to them politically that if they cut any programs we feel entitled to – and certainly if they raise our taxes – it'll be off with their heads. So they pander to us.
President Obama says hard choices will be unavoidable soon and that he intends to present them. We will see if he really means it. But the test of our fiscal responsibility will be our willingness to make such choices.
This is not about the drop-in-the-bucket expenditures on earmarks, which our Republican representatives and senators from Mississippi have been the masters at securing. It's not about eliminating "waste, fraud and abuse" either.
It's about things as fundamental as whether Social Security benefits should be cut, Medicare and Medicaid sustained, and taxes increased to keep them all solvent. It's about whether we overhaul health care policy or not, and if so, how will we pay for it up front. It's about whether we cut costly but outdated military expenditures, even if it means lost jobs for defense contractors in the states or districts of powerful members of Congress.
It's about whether federal taxes, which are well below the levels of a couple of decades ago and, for most Americans, still going down, must go back up at some point to pay for what we have decided we want government to do. Little discussed in all the talk about spending is that the Obama tax cut just passed as part of the stimulus bill is the largest single tax cut in U.S. history – $282 billion of the $787 billion legislation – on the heels of Bush tax cuts that held the previous distinction. In one sense, the cycle continues: even lower taxes, much higher spending, soaring deficits.
If we had a direct democracy – the people voting on everything – taxes would probably be even lower and spending higher. As it is, we give the clear signal to congressmen and senators (and presidents) that we don't want them to ask too much of us when it comes to fiscal responsibility – which is why we don't get it. And then we complain.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
here one o fthe ones i built . i reused the stock lower and middle section but did a whole new top
heres the cutup stocker
and what i made
urs will be much simpler to make over what i made for my car
for the plenum u want a flat bootom were the runners meet it, and u want all entrys bellmouthed , then use a half round plenum , u can tune runner lenght a lil bit to fine tune the intake
what i would do is make the plenum bolt to the runners , so u can make 2-3 diff sets of diff lenght runners and see what works best
what cam/s do u have in the engine and what size turbo charger
whats the engines redline and were do u want it to make the most power
on my 2.8L turbocharged v6 engine i picked up 28hp and 35ftlbs at the rear tires with a manifold i made for it
i shortened the runners 3 inches and and increased plenum volume almost 2.5 times over stock
the plenum volume increase helped it pick up power uptop but made off boost,low rpm driving responce a tad sluggish
the runners support a lot of wieght and using 1/4 inch thick wall pipe is usally the best way to go. but 1/8 will work as well if its gusseted up correctly.
Flow will come from much bigger holes. no need for air horns or other stuff since this is turbo it will flow a massive gulp of air everytime the valve opens. You just want to make sure that gulp is not going to be too far from the valve.
I would try to double the ID of all pipes in the intake if at all possible. Best to go too big too small will hurt performance where too big just makes it flat on the bottom end. Until the boost hits then it just needs room to breath.
I would try to slip in shorter runners. The stock ones look very long and will surely make the engine work to get its gulp of air. But I am not sure if you have any room for those types of changes.
|Esprit Aviation
IMO I would keep inside diameter the same and go fairly thin on the tubing especially with gusseting; no sense in adding weight. The tubing gauge from the early 90's Geo Prizm/Toyota Corrolla intake should be fine. You may want to look up some photos of these manifolds as it could be an alternative to the over the top (which is a GREAT design and will yield good low end torque prior to boost).
The engine will be used for low end accelleration/cruise, not just boost and a good normally aspirated design should be adhered to for optimization over the entire range. Log style exhaust manifolds should be avoided as well.
I am also planning on reinforcing the runners by welding some 1/8th inch between the runners, like webbing. The flange I agree needs to be at least 3/8 inch.
Inside the intake/plenum should I run air horns or just smooth it down with the same idea of the air horn?
Thanks again for the input!!
Also if you use a large pipe for the log part of the manifold you can cut it out and add a flat plate to clear the headers. Just leave room for a heat shield. Without it stock manifold could make more power because of charge temps and boost leves that can be support with lower intake charge temps.
If i was going bannas with a 4 banger i would use itbs and a log type collector for boost. I have a system like this i am welding up for my civic. Should work good its a much bigger hole than before and i plan to up the boost alot along with it.
I would copy the stock intake out of larger 1/4 thick wall alumiunum tubing. Use 3/8 for the flange and make the log the same size or larger than the charge pipe or turbo outlet.
Throttle body can be on either side use the intercooler to move from one side to the other. Put the turbo low and allow the charge pipe to snake around as needed. Looks like you could run the chargeipe out the turbo and down under to the left side and into the cooler and out the right side and up to the throttle body pointed in some direction that fits with as little angle as possible. Make any 90 degrees right angles at the throttle body and use the silicon 90 to make a smooth bend. Not perfect but will make crap load of power before its an issue. If all the charge pipe is 3" and intake log at 4" with 2" id runners tapering into the port as smooth as possible you should be able to support any hp a normal build up of the bottom end could support. Sometimes i have used thicker wall pipe and ported the shape needed for oval and strang eggplant efi ports.
Hope this helps cant really give anything exact because im not under the hood. But i will tell you crappy charge pipe will still make a boat load of power and can always be cleaned up or hidden. Buy some charge pipe kits with lots of J bends and a hack saw and get to work trying to make it fit then built the last part of the intake and make it all match up.
long time ago.
50 years ago my engineering college project was designing a tuned injected manifold, as I remember tuned length was calculated using temperature , density and cam and rpm for max horspower. to get the numbers right. But I needed more money to finish college and sold my roadster. but I did get an A on the design project.

Now, this is with hot air. I'm thinkin' that with an intercooler, you could use more boost without detonation.
I have little experience with knock sensors, being from the old school and reading spark plugs to get the tune right. I'm sure that most of the high-tech world has passed me by though. A little surfing on the web found this offering that may interest you.....

My CR is going to be right around 9:1, with a turbo I know that is higher than recommended. Can I place knock sensors on the engine to prevent detonation? If so, where on a loud and noisy 4 cylinder would be the best place?
In my opinion, tuned port, pressure waves and runner size can be tossed out the window when you go from naturally-aspirated to turbocharger-aspirated. All you will need is a plan to deliver the proper air/fuel ratio to the motor and a way to keep the charge cool. In your case, using FI simplifies keeping the A/F ratio in line. I like your "over the top" runners, same as the intake system on my old '91 Ford 300 six cylinder motor, but I think if I were doing it, I would fabricate an intercooler to fit in that space also.
I understand that you have little room on the driver's side for the turbo unit, but weigh making room there by doing a little surgery on the existing parts against running exhaust tubing to the other side of the motor to run the turbine. I have made the comment many times that with a cutting torch, a Sawzall, a MIG and a good hand grinder, you can make anything fit anything.
I think if I were doing your project, I'd mount everything on the driver's side by doing some surgery, then I might mount an air-air intercooler down low in front of the car.
I'm certainly not the forced induction guru on this board, just presenting a few thoughts......good luck.....
Thank you for the replies.
Because the intake and the exhaust are on the same side I have been wondering about throttle body and plenum on the other side of the engine with the runners going over the top of the valve cover and then doing a 180° to the intake valve. I am a little leary about the 180° turn.
Here is the stock intake look. With a turbo in there it will be tight.
This is from another forum, but the basic design of what I am thinking about.
Yes longer runs make more low end power but shorter ones respond gaster giving good snap and make the car more responsive even if it gives up a few hp it gains it back in a quicker charge to redline.
Most people use the Q45 throttle body its 95mm. That usally handles any engines needs. But you cant really go to big for quick reving engine. Smaller engines need more attention paid. But throttle plate can still be pretty large if the ports are the right size and shape.
In short to answer your question, yes but NO in the real world since you will never know the difference ones you blow on it. Boost will over come bad port shapes and too small a hole. Just make it bigger than it needs to be sep nice smooth taper into the port. A properly tapered port will make more power than any pther mods you can make.
|do you think it will make much difference in the end?
Fabricating Aluminum Intake Manifold, need help
Hello all and Happy Holidays.
I have a stroked Volvo B20 engine that I am building and will be turbocharging and I am looking into fabbing a new intake manifold out of aluminum, yes I do weld aluminum.
My question is about tuned port, pressure waves, runner size to name a few. A cursory search found this article, http://mysite.verizon.net/vzezeqah/s...ionsystems.pdf
Volvo does have a Fuel Injection manifold that I can use, but space will probably be an issue, hence the idea of creating a new intake manifold to make more room for the turbo.
This article points to pressure waves and equations for, as far as I can tell a NA engine. Do the same principles hold true for a Forced Induction?
Any help or direction is appreciated.

Gastrectomy is surgery to remove part or all of the stomach.
The surgery is done while you are under general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free). The surgeon makes a cut in the abdomen and removes all or part of the stomach, depending on the reason for the procedure.
Depending on what part of the stomach was removed, the intestine may need to be re-connected to the remaining stomach (partial gastrectomy) or to the esophagus (total gastrectomy).
Today, some surgeons perform gastrectomy using a camera. The surgery is done with a few small surgical cuts. The advantages of this surgery, which is called laparoscopy, are a faster recovery, less pain, and only a few small cuts.
Gastrectomy is used to treat:
Risks of any anesthesia include:
Risks of any operation include:
Risks of this surgery include:
If you are a smoker, you should stop smoking several weeks before surgery and not start smoking again after surgery. Smoking slows recovery and increases the risk of problems. Tell your doctor or nurse if you need help quitting.
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
During the week before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
How well you do after surgery depends on the reason for the surgery and your condition.
After surgery, there may be a tube in your nose which will help keep your stomach empty. It is removed as soon as your bowels are working well.
Most patients have mild discomfort from the surgery. You can easily control this with pain medications.
Patients usually stay in hospital for 6-10 days.
After discharge, you should perform light activity for the first 4 - 6 weeks. If you take narcotic pain medications, you should not drive.

UTSA Women's Resource Center staff and CURE peer educators with UTSA
Police Department members
By Melissa Hernandez
Assistant Director, Counseling Services
(April 15, 2009)--As part of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM), as designated by Gov. Rick Perry, UTSA Counseling Services and the Women's Resource Center will join rape crisis centers across Texas this month in promoting awareness of the issue. Teal is the signature color chosen to commemorate SAAPM events nationwide.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

UTSA events include:
- April 2-30:Operation Law Enforcement -- UTSA police will display teal magnets on patrol cars.
- April Awareness displays: Awareness displays will be in various locations on campus such as the library, campus housing and Women's Resource Center.
- April 15: Clothesline Project -- T-shirt decoration and display
- April 22: National Wear Denim Day -- UTSA community members are encouraged to wear denim to enhance sexual assault awareness.
Sexual violence is a form of oppression and is linked to all other forms of oppression. In order to create a world without sexual violence, it is imperative that each of us takes a stand against all forms of oppression -- whether based on gender, age, race or ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity, ability or economic class.
"In order to foster healthy and safe campus, all students must support the effort to end sexual violence every month of the year," said Jessica Muniz, LMSW, sexual assault program coordinator for UTSA Counseling Services and the Women's Resource Center.
Statistics: Sexual assault
- According to a 2003 study conducted by the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault and the University of Texas at Austin School of Social Work, nearly 2 million Texans have been sexually assaulted. That equals one in five women and one in 20 men in Texas. Unfortunately, fewer than 20 percent of sexual assaults are ever reported to police.
- College-age women are four times more likely to be victims of sexual assault. (Rape, Abuse & Incest Abuse National Network)
- According to the National Center for Victims of Crime, nearly 5 percent of college women are sexually assaulted each year. Additionally, people ages 16-24 are raped and sexually assaulted at rates higher than any other age group.

You are here
Even Mozart himself made an appearance at the Chamber Music Charleston Gala (CMC). Complete with tights and a powdered wig, the gentleman and his lady Constanze welcomed partygoers to The Mozart Party, the CMC's second annual gala, and set the tone what was to be an elegant, whimsical fete in the beautiful gardens of the historic Thomas Bennett House.
Though it was a formal affair and guests had certainly dressed to impress, the atmosphere was lighthearted and joyous. Everyone seemed to relish the crisp, early fall weather, and the courtyard was abuzz with conversation and laughter as revelers enjoyed wine from Maverick Southern Kitchens and noshed on gourmet savory bites before studiously pouring over the silent auction items.
As the cocktail hour drew to a close, people made their way into the tent on the side lawn for the highlight of the evening: a concert featuring Mozart Flute Quartet No. 4 and Mendelssohn String Quintet No. 2. The musicians were greeted with enthusiastic response, which was followed by absolute silence as guests eagerly anticipated what was to come. It was a fabulous performance and the audience delivered a standing ovation.
A live auction marked the second half of the evening, and guests bid fiercely on a number of enticing items before making their way back to the main house for wine and sweet bites.
The Mozart Party was the second event in the Chamber Music Charleston's Mozart in the South Festival and was the second annual gala benefiting CMC. Chamber Music Charleston is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to the advancement of classical music through chamber music performances and educational programs of high artistic quality performed by musicians of the Lowcountry.

thanks. I just want to see where it will go, but this is the first time I dated, and felt like I didn't ever want to date anyone else. She makes me happy and the kids are great.
I was always cynical about love and all. I dated a lot, but never really long term. But even after a month with this one, I had a good feeling.
I was so nervous about meeting the kids, I kept putting it off, but now I smile every time I see them. They are a joy and so good. I was afraid it would ruin the relationship or having kids would make it unbearable. But I know its cliche, but I have never been so happy.
Everything is better now. We are about to take our second vacation together, this time with kids. We both are busy with businesses, and she also has a full time job and teaches dancing too.
I think I can be there for the kids. I was nervous because I knew going in that I would always be number three. But honestly it has been great.
Though it has changed my views on things, and I am trying to change some things. Like she says I have an addiction to my phone. Though its mostly my customers who call me all the time and I need to respond.
I do appreciate all the responses.
Enjoy the experience, kids are the greatest thing ever.
As for how to treat them, they will essentially tell you how to treat them. My wife was a little uncomfortable at first, until my son told her that he basically had no mom and it would be cool if she would be his mom. If the dad is in the picture, don't be that guy, nothing worse than an ex who tries to play dad when the real dad is around and trying to do his best by the kids. If on the other hand hes a POS , by all means step in and do right by the woman your dating's kids.
Congrats on impending engagement.
damn, I'm sorry now that I gave you grief over the last few weeks, I'm sorry.
damn, I'm sorry now that I gave you grief over the last few weeks, I'm sorry. It was out of line, I hated when Lester did it to me too. Some people can do a lot of different things.
The dad is a good dad. Of course I hear all the bad stuff about him, but the kids idolize him. He treats them great. I'd like to meet him. She said we have a lot in common and she is afraid we would hit it off.
Kids are great, I have a godson and I taught my friends kid to read and it was a great accomplishment for me to see her great grades in first grade and K.
Engagement isn't coming right away. I think at least one person figured out who I was talking about. But it's what I want eventually as I want kids of my own, and told her I would prefer to be married when I have kids. I just think its better for the kids and the family.
The oldest said today to my nephew. "when Mr. Zach marries my mom we will be cousins"
I just laughed. I really do already have a lot of love for the kids.
I won't ask even ask if you feel sorry about following me to the Food Board one day to criticize my threads about what I wanted to eat and my having to go boo boo.
Cos I had already forgiven you in my heart after you did it.
I don't remember really ever having an issue with you.
I am trying to think of it.
I kind of trolled BThog the last few weeks.
Before my banning I was much more of an ass. Just because it's a semi anonymous message board. But after IRL'ing so many people I tend to try and be nicer now.
I rarely get angry IRL, so I kind of use this place to vent. I am a snob about chains on the food board, yet I love Copeland's and Taco Bell.
I really do need to not be a dick to people though. It's silly to do, and generally makes me look stupid to do so.
you can use them as an excuse to go see kid's movies. lol
I'm the go to guy for my friends and family when something needs to be done.
yeah, I have one family of friends that goes too far with it.
I negotiated and helped my friend's gf buy a car. I tell her all it needs is brakes. She waits two months then decides to buy the breaks. My friend doesn't even own a socket set yet they wanted me to drive way out t their house to fix them.
I told them to come to me as I had a garage and all the tools. They come by, but with two kids (gf is infertile so constantly has friend's or cousins kids with her) then they proceede to watch me change all the brakes and complain about the heat, then say it would have been easier on them to do it at their house.
I change the brakes, and don't even get a dollar for them or even a beer. Kinda was ticked. Usually all I want is lunch for changing brakes (takes like 20-30 minutes with good jack and air tools)
Then he calls me today saying his rear end is leaking and the car has a engine light on, so I just ignored him.
Meanwhile his brother helped me with my roof, and is installing my bamboo flooring for $2.20 a foot. So the family isn't all bad.
Just when you do things for people they start to take advantage of
At that age, it's pretty hard to find a single woman who DOESN'T have kids.

Support for HDF-based macros has been dropped starting with Trac 0.11 as with the switch to the Genshi templating engine, the `hdf` data prepared for the Clearsilver engine used upto Trac 0.10 has simply disappeared. This means that the old-style macros installed in the `wiki-macros` folder, i.e. the Python source files containing the simple function: def execute(hdf, txt, env): ... must be rewritten into new-style macros, i.e. plugins implementing the IWikiMacroProvider interface. This is not necessarily a complex task, given that: - the plugin can be a "single file plugin" which doesn't need to be configured to use setuptools. Creating a single .py source file and dropping it at the right place (the `plugins` folder next to the old `wiki-macros` folder) also works; - instead of implementing the IWikiMacroProvider directly, inheriting from the WikiMacroBase class also works well and is a bit more convenient. Note that not only is this not more complex, but it's also much more powerful, as the macro can now access the Wiki `formatter` object, and through it, all the other objects that are meaningful in the context of the Wiki text containing the macro call. You can see how the examples for the old-style macros have been converted to the new-style macros (single file plugins), in the `sample-plugins/HelloWorld.py` and `sample-plugins/Timestamp.py` files. Note that the TracGuideToc macro has been integrated in the main source code base (in `trac/wiki/macros.py`).

I took tons of pictures at the 2010 national. I think the ridiculous picture rule died when the editor of the retriever news at the time moved on.

You can take all the pictures you want.
You may have trouble getting to the area of the line but can take all you want from the gallery.
The Best Western located here is the "Headquarters" for the event. Stop there first when you roll in to town to find out where the days activities are. There will probably be maps with directions in the lobby.
A lot of activity will be taking take place at this property.

i could not agree more. pictures of people in the gallery in the retriever news and not always a caption. seems like a few years ago i saw
some videos of the handlers as either they came off the line or before they ran that talked about the set ups that was very good info.i look forward to the coverage.thanks
Wayne if you want to see most of the dogs and handlers go early in the week but you may only see one test run all day. Monday would typically be the first set of water marks without much water. If you want to see multiple tests go Friday.

Gun makes citizen
feel safer in home
I read Jim High's letter (April 21) which focuses on name-calling. Kathleen Parker is an idiot, and the NRA is crazy. It seems High picked up a pen and the ignorance poured out.
Read the history of our nation, and our heroes had a familiarity with guns before going into battle to defend our nation. Read the Constitution and see that our forefathers had the wisdom to recognize the necessity of familiarity with guns before the need to use one. Read about the 31 states with "right to carry law" (Elder P.272) and the resulting drop in crime. As one person wrote: "If gun control laws worked, Chicago would be like Mayberry." But there was 506 murders in Chicago in 2012 (NRA, May 2013).
I feel safer in my home because I have a gun. I can protect my family and my property while my wife calls 911 and continue that protection for the 5-15 minutes until law enforcement personnel arrive.
I would suggest people read: 1. "Ten things one cannot say in America" by Larry Elder. 2. "More Guns, Less Crime" by University of Chicago Professor John R. Lott Jr. 3. NRA commentary (May 2013) and our success in preserving our rights as guaranteed by our Constitution.
I would call attention to the hypocrisy of Carl Rowan, Sharon Stone, Dianne Feinstein, Donald Trump, William Buckley, Lawrence Rockefeller and Howard Stern, all strong anti-gun, and yet each one has/had a "right to carry permit" (Elder P. 269-270).
"Two million people a year use a gun for defensive purposes." (Elder, p.280, citing John Lott).
"Less than 1 percent of the nation's firearms will ever be used in any crime. Of that 1 percent only a tiny fraction involve so-called 'assault weapons'." (Elder, p. 282). The solution is not more gun laws, but enforcement of those already in force.
An opinion based on current available information leads to an open discussion and solutions, but one based solely on emotions is evidence of deliberate ignorance.

School should fight
atheist group's threat
Concerning the article in the Journal on May 2, "Atheist group sues over prayer meeting."
Free speech! Has that been taken away from "we" the people? From what I read there was no hate speech involved in the presentation.
What harm did the advice do by inviting the students to turn to Jesus Christ to help with their problems?
I'd say it was the best advice they could have been given. Such a pity that the student who provided the video did not accept the message for his/her need.
I do hope the Northwest Rankin High School will not succumb to the atheist threat. They should contact Liberty Council.
