Small bowel resection is surgery to remove part or all of your small bowel. It is done when part of your small bowel is blocked or diseased.
The small bowel is also called the small intestine. Most digestion (breaking down and absorbing nutrients) of the food you eat takes place in the small intestine.
Small intestine surgery; Bowel resection - small intestine; Resection of part of the small intestine; Enterectomy
You will receive general anesthesia at the time of your surgery. This will make you asleep and pain-free.
If you have laparoscopic surgery:
If you have open surgery, you will probably have a cut about 6 inches long in your mid-belly.
In both kinds of surgery:
Your surgeon may also look at lymph nodes and other organs in your belly area. Before surgery, the surgeon will talk with you about the possible need to remove other organs.
This surgery usually takes 1 to 4 hours.
Small bowel resection may be recommended for:
Risks for any surgery are:
Risks for this surgery include:
Always tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
Talk with your doctor or nurse about these things before you have surgery:
During the 2 weeks before your surgery:
The day before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
You will be in the hospital for 3 to 7 days. You may have to stay longer if your surgery was an emergency operation.
You also may need to stay longer if a large amount of your small intestine was removed, or if you develop any other problems.
By the second or third day, you will most likely be able to drink clear liquids. Your doctor or nurse will slowly add thicker fluids and then soft foods as your bowel begins to work again.
If a large amount of your small intestine was removed, you may need to receive liquid nutrition through a vein (IV) for a period of time. First you will have a special intravenous line placed in the neck or upper chest area. This intravenous line can be used to deliver nutrition.
Most people who have a small bowel resection recover fully. Even with an ileostomy, most people are able to do most activities they were doing before their surgery. This includes most sports, travel, gardening, hiking, and other outdoor activities, and most types of work.
If a large part of your small intestine was removed, you may have problems with loose stools and getting enough nutrients from the food you eat.
If you have a chronic condition, such as cancer, Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis, you may need ongoing medical treatment.

2. Exactly how big is this thing? From what I've heard, it's pretty damn big. Could someone give me the measurements?

40 Garden-Fresh Vegetable Recipes
Suncrest Gardens Farm's Pesto Pizza [1]
Heather Secrist uses kale in her pesto for this tomatoey creation, though you can substitute arugula, spinach or basil if you prefer. "Pesto can be frozen in ice cube trays for use throughout the year," says Heather, owner of Suncrest Gardens Farm in Cochrane, Wisconsin. "Once frozen, place the cubes in a freezer bag to pull out as you need them."
Peacock Vegetables [5]
Balsamic vinegar, olive oil and herbs coat roasted vegetables in this colorful side dish.
Green Beans with Bacon and Onion [9]
Picky eaters in your family? Bacon-dressed beans will surely tempt them to eat their veggies.
Tomato and Cheese Tart [13]
Assorted varieties of tomatoes add color and freshness to this puff pastry tart. The pastry can be made ahead, then topped and baked at the last minute.
Squash and Tomato Bake [17]
Summer squash adds texture to this easy side dish, which combines stewed tomatoes with paprika, garlic, basil and pepper, as well as some melty mozzarella and Parmesan. It goes well with roast chicken or beef.
Fresh Herb Pasta Primavera [21]
A Parmesan cream sauce tops pasta made with your choice of fresh herbs and veggies.
Roasted Carrots [25]
Carrots' natural sweetness shines in this recipe from Urban Roots Farm in Springfield, Missouri, so shop your farmers market for the freshest ones, even if they aren't heirloom.
Roasted Carrots [26]
Napa Cabbage Spring Rolls [29]
"Spring rolls are a great way to utilize fresh vegetables as they become available at the market," says Kevin Shinn, chef-owner of Bread and Cup in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Squash Ribbons with Parmesan and Crisp Prosciutto [33]
This toss-together recipe from BelGioioso Cheese in Wisconsin makes a pretty side dish in summer, when zucchini and yellow squash abound.
Fingerling Potato Salad with Honey-Thyme Vinaigrette [37]
The addition of fresh haricots verts gives this potato salad fresh-from-the-garden taste. The recipe is from Chicago chef Myk Banas.
Fresh Taco Salad [41]
Cilantro Ranch Dressing tops a flavorful blend of jicama, multigrain tortilla chips, avocado, black beans, queso fresco and greens.
Fresh Taco Salad [42]
The Stone Barn's The Modena [45]
Sweet onion, mushrooms, snap peas, marinated chicken and feta top an oiled crust in this pizza recipe from the Stone Barn in Nelson, Wisconsin. "The vegetables add crispness," says Stone Barn owner Pam Taylor.
The Stone Barn's The Modena [46]
Oven-Roasted Squash and Beets with Arugula [50]
This calicolike blend is as nutritious as it is pretty. The veggies roast separately so the beets don't dye the squash pink. The recipe comes from Urban Roots Farm in Springfield, Missouri.
Sugar Snap Peas with Sesame Seeds [54]
We gave this popular veggie a new twist with a hint of ginger, some kick from black pepper and a finish of nutty sesame oil and seeds.
Corn and Zucchini Pan Soufflé [58]
Homemade tomato relish tops a cheesy summer soufflé full of fresh corn and shredded zucchini.
Greek Orzo Salad [62]
Olives and feta give salty punch to this pasta salad from Surdyk's Liquor and Cheese Shop in Minneapolis.
Greek Orzo Salad [63]
Eat-Your-Greens Pizza [66]
We threw pizza convention out the kitchen window in this utterly delicious (and beautiful) recipe. Frozen puff pastry pinch-hits for traditional pizza dough, yielding a flaky, crisp crust. A salad's worth of vegetables covers the top, along with just a bit of smoky ham and nutty Gruyere cheese. And say good-bye to marinara sauce. Instead, a drizzle of flavorful creamy garlic salad dressing moistens the pizza and adds big flavor.
Radish, Greens and Bacon Saute [70]
This simple side dish is a great recipe for spring and fall, when you can buy local radishes with gorgeous fresh greens attached (or pick your own!).
Roasted Baby Potatoes with Herbs [74]
Experiment with a variety of potatoes—such as baby Dutch yellow, fingerlings, baby purple and round red—in this easy recipe.
BLT Salad [78]
We took a summertime staple (a bacon-lettuce-and-tomato sandwich) and made it a main-dish salad. Creamy mustard dressing tops it perfectly.
BLT Salad [79]
Pickled Green Beans [82]
Dilly Beans are a farmhouse staple and common to old preserving books. They're equally happy as part of a relish or antipasto tray or at a picnic with burgers and brats. This recipe is from Urban Roots in Springfield, Missouri.
Pickled Green Beans [83]
Roasted Cherry Tomato Chutney on Squash [86]
Annie France of Mission, Kansas, invented this beautiful summer dish. Juicy cherry tomatoes are roasted and served over spaghetti squash with herbs and mozzarella balls. Annie says she serves it as a side dish, but we think it would make a fantastic meatless main.
Sauteed Swiss Chard and Pine Nut Bruschetta [90]
If you've never tried Swiss chard (a dark leafy green similar to kale and spinach), this pretty appetizer makes a good introduction. Garlic, red onion, currants, vinegar and honey balance its earthiness. The recipe comes from Urban Roots Farm in Springfield, Missouri.
Heirloom Tomato and Onion Quiche [94]
The recipe was developed for heirloom tomatoes such as Cherokee Purple or Brandywine, but if those aren't available, use whatever kind of tomatoes you like. Drain sliced tomatoes on a paper towel before adding them to the quiche, and they won't release as much water.
24-Hour Tex-Mex Salad [98]
Based on Tex-Mex ingredients, this layered salad can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance. For a fun presentation, assemble individual servings in clear jelly jars, dressing and all, then refrigerate.
Arugula Pesto [102]
Peppery arugula pinch-hits for basil in this memorable pesto from chef Kevin Shinn of Bread and Cup in Lincoln, Nebraska. Try it as a spread on baguette slices or as a pasta sauce.
Arugula Pesto [103]
Three Ways to Butter Up Sweet Corn [106]
Serve our seasoned butters as a topping for sweet corn, steaks, seafood or burgers. They make a great sauce for vegetables, too.
Summer Vegetable Potato Salad [110]
This fresh take on potato salad combines red or yellow potatoes, corn, roma tomatoes and fresh basil with a homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Sprinkle with feta cheese before serving.
Fresh Corn, Tomato and Chipotle Chile Salsa [114]
Homemade salsa bursts with freshness thanks to straight-from-the-garden corn, tomatoes and sweet peppers. Chipotle chiles add a hint of heat alongside the tangy lime juice. It's like a bite of summer when scooped up on corn chips. You can also serve it with grilled meat or poultry.
Panzanella (Bread Salad) with Summer Vegetables [118]
A backyard garden's worth of colorful summer veggies fill this beautiful potluck salad. The toasted bread chunks absorb the dressing and juices from the tomatoes; you won't believe how delicious they taste!
Fresh Veggie Pizza [122]
This pizza is packed full of vegetables: zucchini or yellow summer squash, sweet peppers, fresh mushrooms, green onions and more. If you have kids, have them help make this with their favorite vegetables.
Fresh Veggie Pizza [123]
Second-Helping Pasta [126]
Sweet peppers, garlic and tomato add color and flavor to this quick-and-easy pasta dish. If you like, add cooked chicken strips or shrimp.
Second-Helping Pasta [127]
Zucchini and Tomato Frittata [130]
Zucchini gets a flavor boost from mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and chopped walnuts in a colorful frittata.
Zucchini and Tomato Frittata [131]
Grilled Green Beans with Shallots [134]
Wrapped in a foil packet, fresh green beans—seasoned with onion, soy sauce, basil, mint, sesame seeds and your choice of nuts—grill alongside your meat entree.
Garlicky Zucchini Noodles [138]
Not only are zoodles (or zucchini noodles) a lighter pasta alternative, they also don't require any boiling, saving you time in the kitchen.
Five-Herb Roasted Carrots and Potatoes [142]
Our Five-Herb Roasted Carrots and Potatoes recipe, developed by the Midwest Living® Test Kitchen, uses fresh chives, oregano, parsley, rosemary and sage to make the veggies fragrant and delicious. The roasting temperature also brings out the flavor in the vegetables.
Baked Stuffed Zucchini [146]
Savory cremini and nutty porcini mushrooms, along with cheese, soft bread crumbs and herbs, fill zucchini to make a hearty dish for a meatless Monday.
Baked Stuffed Zucchini [147]
Asparagus Fritters [150]
Asparagus fritters are a spring customer favorite at Bread and Cup in Lincoln, Nebraska. Chef-owner Kevin Shinn says you can use the same batter recipe with other vegetables, such as sweet peas.
Asparagus Fritters [151]
Roasted Jalapeno Gazpacho [154]
Going to the trouble to roast a single pepper might seem unnecessary, but it adds a unique depth of flavor to the chilled soup. The recipe comes from Urban Roots Farm in Springfield, Missouri.

Pymmetry and Bram's "trust" code have gotten me (finally) to spending a little time with Python. It's fun and easy though I still have some of the steep part of the learning curve to go up. Emacs integration seems good, but I can't seem to find the key-binding to evaluate e.g. a test def in the file I'm working on. I'm sure there's a way...
Working with existing trust frameworks has got me thinking about how cool the OpenPrivacy reputation management framework is. It's designed so that trust metrics - such as Pymmetry or Slashdot's moderation - can be plugged in and evaluated *themselves* on their reputation. So a community that uses e.g. Pymmetry today can easily switch, if and when a better trust metric (or a newer version of Pymmetry ;-) comes along. All pre-existing identities, certification, and reputations would remain intact, perhaps translated (at owner discretion) to the new system.
Think of it like a currency exchange, but with reputations. No one can force you to start using a new currency but if all your friends move to France, you'll want to start using francs. The Reputation Management Framework provides a plug-in architecture for Reputation Calculation Engines that make this sort of "reputation-exchange" feasible. And since reputation-exchanges are not zero-sum, you actually get to keep your old reputation, too!
We're putting the finishing touches on the documentation, but the code is available now. We're also working on a example system called Reptile (Reputation-enhanced portal using Mozilla technology) - check it out!

1) i update the game (rendering) at 60 fps ( example ), i update my physics at 60/2 and since pathfinding does not require to be updated many times a second i was gonna update it once every 60 frames
2) multi-threading
3) splitting pathfinding algorithms over multiple frames
I've read that multithreading is used often when dealing with pathfinding or similar, but i've got only some basic knowledge about multi-threading (C++)
The 1) IMHO is a good idea... but it can still slow down my program in THAT frame i update the pathfinding.
The 3) seems the best idea for me... splitting a N number of paths to find over N threads, but i have really no good idea how to implement it.
i was looking for some hints & tips from people with more experience. My game is pretty simple, but the AI is the most important part (it's for learning mainly). And for pathfinding i'm using different algorithms for different purposes ( DFS,BFS,Dijkstra,A*). i've already implemented most of them and even the DFS that "is supposed to be the faster" really slow the program down.
P.S. if you have any good article i'd be glad to read it !

Check out the proposed TIE Fighter Playskool set!
Many fans at Comic Con and on our message boards have voiced their praise for the Playskool line. I dare say our staff here has made it our mission to see Hasbro's Playskool division help the Empire strike back!
The Playskool line has great hero ships and vehicles like the N-1, the X-wing, and the Falcon, each with at least one 'baddie' figure packed in. Now we'd like to see a toy Empire for the tots - and those of us who just love these cute little action sets.
1) You can't lose their pieces or put them so carefully in a diorama that you're afraid you'll never get them set up that cool were you to ever move them again.
2) You can throw these toys across the room, drop them off the 2nd story, and they stay good as new!
3) You can shove them all in a box just like you did with your first Kenner figures, only this time you're not panicking that your abusing "fine collectibles."
Playskool has brought the fun back into Star Wars and the kid back into all of us. They also make great gifts if you buy a 2nd set for your youngsters to start them on their very first Star Wars toys for themselves. So while Hasbro has stated they have no plans to offer more items in this line, we want to demonstrate to them that their is demand!
It's a 2-step process, so don't forget that SirStevesGuide.com is running a letter writing campaign to Star Wars retailers where all you need to do is print out the pre-adressed letters, then sign and send them - and you can adapt them and let stores know what specific Star Wars products you want them to stock (Playskool!).
So now take step 1 by voting and let Hasbro know if you'd like to see this Playskool set and others like it.
(special thanks to Grand Admiral Thrawn for the image)

At least they are up-front about their motives.
I just got one of those fine-print "Change of Terms" notices from Chase. At the very end under "Other Notices" it clearly states:
"The principal factor we considered in amending your account is maintaining profitability on your account."
Among the reasons they can choose to close my account is "account inactivity".
I guess the name of the game is not how responsibly you use credit anymore. It's more a matter of how much profit they can make on you. They make the most money when you take cash advances; and even more if you then make a late payment. Since I don't do that, I'm not a very profitable customer, so they'd rather not have me as a customer at all.
In the end, they end up with a lot of high-profit customers ... but maybe also a lot of high-risk customers. They make a nice profit until the house of cards collapses. Is there something about this "business plan" that sounds famililar?

Memorial fund created for Melissa M. Huang
Posted September 8, 2004; 05:44 p.m.
The University's Wilson College community has established a fund in memory of Princeton sophomore Melissa M. Huang, who died over the weekend.
Huang, 19, of Mechanicsburg, Pa., was found in her Wilson College dorm room on Sunday, Sept. 5. The cause of death remains unknown, however police officials have ruled out criminal activity. An autopsy has been conducted by the Mercer County Medical Examiner's Office, but preliminary results are inconclusive.
The fund was created with the approval of Huang's family, who will be involved in deciding how to use any contributions. Those interested in honoring her can send donations through the University to: Melissa M. Huang '07 Memorial Fund, Princeton University, c/o Nancy Kalmikoff, Gift Records, P.O. Box 5357, Princeton, NJ 08543-5357.
The funeral service will be private. A memorial service will be held on campus at a later date.
Huang was a student in the School of Engineering and Applied Science. She spent this summer working on a chemical engineering research project on campus.
Survivors include her parents, Leon Keng-Lock Huang and Sauling Huang; a brother, Kevin, and a sister, Alina, all of Mechanicsburg, Pa.
President Shirley M. Tilghman and other University officials have met with Huang's parents and Wilson College students to offer comfort, counseling and guidance. University Health Services is open 24 hours and students may also call the Counseling and Psychological Services team at (609) 258-3285.

By JB Clark/NEMS Daily Journal
One way the Mississippi Department of Corrections works to reduce recidivism is provide a course that teaches soft-skills and pro-social behaviors.
The Thinking For a Change course graduated its second class at the ICC Belden campus this month.
James Johnson, associate director of community corrections, said the ultimate goal is to reduce the state's already low repeat offender rate by changing the way offenders think about problem solving and stressful situations.
The program is a part of MDOC's post-release supervision programs.
"It goes back to social learning," he said. "I grew up in a pro-social environment and learned through family, friends and school programs. Many offenders don't grow up in these environments. Just like you can learn these bad problem solving skills, we can teach good ones."
Johnson said the offenders in these courses have to work together to solve problems and are given a path toward job training and GED programs along the way.
He said extended incarceration often helps to create the problems that breed the anti-social behaviors they are trying to change.
"It's all connected," Johnson said. "They are the same attitudes that lead to teen pregnancy and high dropout rates. It's self perpetuating."
Half of Mississippi's inmate population didn't finish high school. Since that's self-reported, the figure could be higher.
The average state inmate reads on a sixth-grade level.
Jartavious Jones graduated from the most recent Thinking for a Change class.
"It's a good thing MDOC did for us," he said. "The things we wanted to do in life, they had in the classroom for us."
He said with the help of the program he was able to get his GED and get on track to find employment.
"I would say it's easier to stay out of legal trouble with educational opportunities," he said. "It's better to go on and get your GED while you're out in the world than wait until you're incarcerated."
Jones said he probably would have avoided incarceration altogether had he stayed in school or gotten a GED.
Marcus Cherry, another recent graduate of the program, said not only do you learn better problem-solving skills and have more opportunities, "It just got me around a positive crowd of people," he said. "And if you're getting your education, you're busy, you're constantly doing activities and staying out of trouble."
Johnson said they hope with this program to reduce recidivism and in some cases help keep families together and break the cycles that lead to anti-social and criminal behavior.
"With the right programs, you can get better results than from just locking someone up," he said.

Imagine if they started training pup with obedience and very few retrieved marks at home. Marks are a very small part of the 'Balanced' or 'Total' retriever if you will. Many marks can be thrown with very few retrieves in order to teach patience and obedience.
On days that they came to 'school'......more obedience around truck, around other trucks and people. NO CANDY, or I mean MARKS. This sort of 'off site training' goes on several times before an actual MARK is ever thrown for the pup until it is calm and controllable around others.
Walk pup to the line several times just to watch others calmly, so it learns that each trip to line does not get CANDY. Only when pup can sit and watch mark thrown calmly and quietly does it actually get to retrieve.
For dogs who are already out of control going to line and on the line, this will also work wonders. Back to basics to regain control. Dog must learn that they are not in control. Only when they have complied with master's wishes does he get CANDY!

Thread: Stocking an aquarium

Stocking an aquarium
There seems to be a lot od bad information and bad ways of thinking about stocking an aquarium.
Most common mistake and assumption: 'X many gallons can handle Y number of fish'.
There are MANY things that effect the maximum bioload (amount of fish plus food) that an aquarium can handle. The two most important are volume and water change schedule. The volume basically sets a general range for the maximum amount of fish. The most important is water change schedule.
Really the water change schedule in general dictates water quality, which is really the most important aspect. Without water changes Tons of filtration on a 300 gallon tank can't handle even a school of tetras. Massive water changes on a smaller tank with adequate filtration can allow for a larger bioload than the average water change schedule on the same size tank.
There are mistakes being made on both sides when stocking is being discussed. The person simply asking 'How many fish can go in my 29' is assuming that stocking level is based just on volume, and they are not taking into account the water change schedule and other factors. More at fault are all of those who simply start answering the question without asking 'what is the water change schedule?' or even 'What filtration do you have?'. The person asking may simply not be advanced enough to realize they need to be aware of these other issues, but they are asking for help. The others are neglecting to fully address the issue at hand and allowing others to keep looking at stocking in the wrong way.
Filtration does not just clean X many gallons the way the packaging suggests. Filters clean up after fish. A 75 with a school of full grown fancy goldfish needs a lot more filtration than if it was heavily planted with a few low-waste producing fish. Part of stocking an aquarium is providing the filtration to deal with those fish. Filtration can limit stocking. More filtration is never a bad thing. Barely meeting the minimal filtration needs of a certain setup is risking problems down the road. When the only or one of the filters stops running and you can't replace it for another week, if you only had the minimal to start with you are now faced with an under-filtered/overstocked tank.
In general the best measure of water quality is nitrate concentration. Nitrate is in general the end of the nitrogen cycle in an aquarium. In freshwater there are two main ways to remove nitrate, water changes and plants. With plants there has to be a very small bioload for that tank size and A LOT of plants. This is rarely the case and even then small water changes are needed. So in effect water changes are the only way to remove nitrate from the system. Nitrate itself will build in concentration over time. This can stress the fish, cause stunting, and can lead to illness and death. In addition, there are many other things that can build up over time. Growth inhibiting hormones are given off by many species of fish which can stunt conspecifics and cause the same problems as nitrate. There are also dissolved organic compounds and other things that slowly build up over time, causing stress, illness, and possibly death. Even if extremes such as illness and death are not caused, a general failure to thrive can occur. This means that even though the fish seem fine, they would be doing EVEN better (sometimes much better) if water quality was improved. In general these chemicals will not build up if adequate water changes are done. Although we cannot test for these other harmful chemcials, they do tend to correlate with nitrate concentration which is easily tested for. It is generally recommended to keep nitrate concentration under 20ppm.
So a more appropriate answer to 'How many fish can I put in my X gallon tank?' without asking any questions would be: 'However many you can have with your water change schedule and keep the nitrate concentration under 20ppm'.
This brings us to another important aspect, the upper limits of aquariums and large fish. Even if you can keep the nitrate concentration down (water quality up), there is still an upper limit to the stocking density. I tried this with a 40high. I did massive weekly water changes and the water quality was in ideal range. However, at a certain point it is simply so crowded that the fish are stressed not by water quality, but by the simple presence of so many other fish in the tank. This became apparent at about 80 fish in my situation in the 40high. At about that population mystery deaths started to occur as well as other signs that the fish were not thriving. I cut down the population and a happier, healthier community resulted. I do not suggest this and it is much better to prevent issues than treat them (don't fill your tank until they start dying to figure out the maximum population).
In addition to simply being crowded, we come to the topic of big fish and their minimal tank sizes. Water quality is still most important. But with big fish and schooling fish, you face a minimum in addition to that of maintaining water quality. In general, the tank should be at least as wide as the longest fish is long. So a cichlid that is 15" long should be in a tank at least 15" wide, to allow for an arguably comfortable turnaround. There are a few exceptions to this. Fish that are very long and extremely flexible do not require the turnaround width like bulkier fish do. These would be fish like ropefish, bichirs, and eels. These fish can be 18" long and turn around comfortably in a 12" wide tank. This does not mean you can crowd a bunch into a 55, but that the minimum width rule is not really in effect. Schooling fish also require larger than expected tanks. For example: giant danios generally only get to about 4" or so, but since they are so active and do like to school (a school is generally considered at least 6 fish) they should be in something like a 30long at minimum, some would even say a 55. Goldfish are another example. Many suggest 20 gallons for one and an additional ten gallons for each additional goldfish. This is a good guide, but since they do school this means that in order to have fancy goldfish you should really have at least a 75 gallon aquarium. For the more active, and larger, long-bodied goldfish it is generally recommended to have at least a 125.
Fish behavior also needs to be taken into account. An active species needs more space than a less active species of the exact same size. So things like danios, although small, need a larger tank one-because they are so active, and two-because they school. Aggressive species need special attention as well. Although they can turnaround in a 125 and you may maintain the water quality, five oscars in a 125 will end up most likely killing each other, there is simply not enough room for all of them. This is especially true of cichlids when they pair off, they will become extremely aggressive and may lay claim to the entire tank as their territory. These fish were not made to be in aquariums. Many of them have territories in the wild larger than almost any aquarium they are kept in. So when they pair off they are not required to obey your feeling that there is enough room for everyone.
Another commonly overlooked aspect is nocturnal fish. They hide away unseen during the day, but can be VERY active at night when the lights are out and the fishkeeper is not watching. As far as the keeper knows it is a medium fish that hides all the time and is very lazy. Only they do not realize that at night that fish is all over the place, possibly stressing out the diurnal fish that are now trying to rest. This can even cause things like mystery disappearances of fish. People see healthy fish and yet they keep disappearing. The culprit may be that otherwise very lazy catfish that at night goes after the sleeping fish the keeper has seen disappearing.
An increase in tank size does not mean the keeper can now become lazy about water quality. Yes, a larger tank does mean that water quality will stay a little higher, but that does not allow any laziness on the part of the keeper. Since many upgrades are made for a growing fish, the water quality will still need to be maintained and water changes schould remain just as often and as large.Aquarist since 1995

Any fishkeeper needs to occasionally check the nitrate concentration to ensure that water quality is actually being maintained. Many have a tendency to get in the habit of a water change schedule but fail to adjust it to the fish growing. In addition, what seemed like a great water change schedule at first, may actually just mean that the nitrate concentration will rise much slower than usual, not actually maintain the ideal level of no more than 20ppm. If the tank is being under-maintained in other ways there could also be a significant increase in nitrate concentration. If debris is trapped in the gravel and not being removed it will eventually break down and be converted into nitrate. Many or probably most keepers tend to not maintain their filters often enough. This can cause the same problem. The debris they collected will eventually break down and cause nitrate problems. To help prevent these issues and catch them early it is important to check nitrate concentration on a regular basis (for example, once a month) even on tanks that are doing amazingly well.
Many keepers feel it should 'not be fixed if it is not broken'. Unfortunately this can mean that problems that are slowly developing but not causing any major problems immediately are overlooked and develop to the point where they cannot be fixed and the result is harm to the fish, either by stunting, severe stress, or death.
Stocking is far from a very over-simplified quick rule of thumb like 'one inch per gallon', 'one inch of fish per inch of tank length', and other 'rules'. It is very complex and everything from fish behavior to your ability to properly maintain water quality needs to be considered.Aquarist since 1995

Very well written.Very informative and should answer a lot of questions.
I hope this gets stickied!
Are your fingers sore yet!
IMO that was great... thats what i follow when trying to help someone with a thread...
Very nice tread Fishguy2727, I agree, STICKY!
Here's a question, though. You said that schooling fish need more room than the same number/length/bioload of non-schooling fish. I had understood this to be the other way around. (Because schooling fish tend to stay in groups each individual fish needs less room b/c it doesn't mind being close to its neighbors). I agree your danio suggestion for a larger tank is correct, but I thought that was simply b/c danios are so active and need lots of room to swim around. Would it be true for a less active schooling fish, also?
Maybe I'm just confused, but I could have sworn I read that in one of the fish books I picked up when starting my tank.20 gallon tank - harlequin rasboras, rummynose tetras, panda corys, one lone pygmy cory that didn't die when the others did.
10 gallon tank - planned planted with tetras and red cherry shrimp?
You may have, but I can't think of a single book that is perfect.
The biggest reason is because the school as a whole needs more room. One neon tetra doesn't need as much space as six, but that shouldn't matter because they should always be in a school. One fantail goldfish can fit in a 30, but it is naturally a schooling fish and should not be left alone. So in order to properly care for these species you need to provide a school and therefore a tank large enough to handle that school.Aquarist since 1995

Diabetcentro is a diabetes centre that includes clinical care and education for people with diabetes since 1996, and education and research projects for health care professionals, since 2006.
The Education Programme at Diabetcentro is recognized and administered by The School of Postgraduate Studies, at the Universidad de San Carlos, Guatemala's National University, School of Pharmacy, and has local recognition from the Guatemalan School of Medicine and the Guatemalan School of Pharmacists and Chemists (including pharmacists, dietitians and biological chemists).
The project has interdisciplinary trainees, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, laboratory professionals and psychologists.
Currently we are working on a research project which includes people with diabetes from most of the country's regions, to determine classification of diabetes in adults, degree of glycemic control, risk factors, treatment, and personal history of hypertension.
Course description
Courses are based on the IDF curriculum. Educational texts have been developed and written in Spanish - these have been revised by DECS and approved for the use of IDF's logo for the 2011 – 2012 edition.
The course is developed over 1 academic year, with group learning activities twice a month, and virtual (internet based learning) activities twice a month.
The group activities are used for active, reflexive and pragmatic learning, practicing techniques and acquiring new skills in diabetes management, for example:
- Building a healthy meal
- Using a glucometer
- Self administering insulin
- Measuring ankle – brachial index
- Experiencing what a person with low vision feels and sees
The virtual activities are used mainly for problem based learning; case solving and theoretical exercises (such as practicing insulin dose calculation, clinical and decision making).
Research projects
As a part of our learning process, we need to understand the importance of research, in all aspects of knowledge.
Clinical and epidemiological research:
This is the foundation for evidence – based medicine. We can't apply international evidence out of context, and certainly not in a critical way. We need to know if our therapeutic decisions are really working in our workplace.
And we need to work according to the International Clinical Practices, both in clinical care and in clinical research. Our first country - wide epidemiological survey results will be submitted for publication this year.
Educational research:
Our scientific evidence demonstrates all Health Professionals have similar learning needs about diabetes and its complications. Our first report on educational research has been accepted for publication at the Diabetes Voice Journal.
Social and cultural research:
Health professionals are part of a culture that influences the "diabetes culture" in our country. What we think, know and do in our practice will affect the people we serve.
Our local and diabetes – related - culture, are subject to modification. Analysis of specific needs and ways to propose change are necessary, both for people with diabetes and for the health system.
Work competencies
We are actively working to determine a full set of all the specific work competencies needed for adequate care for people with diabetes, so far the programme has identified 6 specific work competencies on diabetes care. These are taught and evaluated in order to demonstrate clinical skills, aiming for future local and international standardization and certification in clinical practice:
Understand and explain what glucose and A1c values mean, and have the basic skills to make proper first – hand treatment decisions. This is meant to answer to questions such as:
- Does this person have diabetes or pre-diabetes?
- Is it type 1 or type 2 diabetes?
- What to do with acute hyperglycemia? (initial measures and prompt referral)
- What to do with chronic hyperglycemia? (measures to initiate treatment change)
Be able to give basic advice about nutrition, exercise and healthy lifestyles.
- Make healthy choices
- Estimate portion size
- Being able to explain the effect of specific food items on glucose control
- Explain the benefits of being physically active and avoiding drugs, tobacco and excessive alcohol use.
- Detect and teach people with diabetes to detect alarm signs during exercise
- Prevent patients from participating in exercises that are not recommended for specific diabetes complications
To learn how to use a glucose meter and how to teach patients to do self-blood glucose monitoring.
- Understanding and interpreting glucose patterns
- How to manage acute hypoglycemia in a conscious patient.
- How to prevent serious hypoglycemia.
Indications for use and how to give patients basic instructions for the safe use of oral medications and incretin mimetics.
- Mechanisms of action, Indications, contraindications
- Indications for use (route, schedule, dose, timing, relation with food intake)
- Expected medication results, side effects
- Precautions, interactions
- Follow up on medication initiation and use (basic principles of dispensation and pharmaceutical follow up)
To understand how to use and administer insulin properly and safely and to provide instructions to patients.
- Subcutaneous, syringe or pen injection: pump or intravenous insulin administration techniques
- How to prevent and detect lipodystrophy
- How to use insulin correction factors
To learn about foot exams and teach patients how to do a foot exam.
- Teaching routine foot self – care
- Detecting a neuropathic foot ulcer
- Detecting an ischemic or mixed foot ulcer
- Detecting a Charcot Foot
- Being able to make adequate referrals for amputation prevention

DRC: Recent fighting has caused "crisis within a crisis" – Humanitarian Coordinator
Humanitarian Coordinator for the DRC Mr. Moustapha Soumaré said today that there are serious concerns over the humanitarian needs of tens of thousands of people recently displaced by conflict around Goma in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
"We were able to redirect our funding in the short term to avert a huge humanitarian disaster," Mr. Soumaré told a media briefing in New York via video link from Kinshasa. "However, in the medium and long term, there will be a serious need, even if the situation stabilizes. People will need assistance to restart their lives, be able to cultivate their land, and repair schools and medical centres," he added. He went on to thank partners who had contributed to the pooled fund which he said had helped to address immediate needs.
About 130,000 people who have fled their homes because of the violence are hosted in 12 spontaneous sites and schools in and around Goma. Mr. Soumaré said the recent fighting had caused a new crisis within an existing, long-term crisis. Many of those on the move had been displaced before, and were forced to flee again in the past 10 days. He added that people in many other parts of North Kivu and other provinces in the DRC were experiencing great distress caused by armed conflict, including South Kivu, Katanga and Province Orientale.
Mr. Soumaré said there were serious problems reaching those on the move. "When the fighting comes from the north, they go south; if it comes from the south, they go north. Sometimes, you identify a site; by the time you start your intervention, you come back a few hours after, and they are not there any more," he said. "That is also making this crisis much more difficult for humanitarians."
Humanitarian organizations also faced logistical challenges because access to parts of North Kivu outside Goma and its immediate surroundings was difficult, he said. Nevertheless, progress was being made.
Humanitarian partners have negotiated with the M23 to make sure that trucks with humanitarian supplies can pass through Goma without delay, for example when supplies come in from Kenya and other countries. "We are now working to make sure that we can also fly in urgent supplies through the airport, including medical equipment and medicine and so on," Mr. Soumare said. He added that it was important to try innovative methods like mobile clinics to reach people on the move in areas where medical centres had been looted or destroyed.
Essential humanitarian aid has been distributed in areas around Goma. Some 110,000 people have received essential non-food items and 81,000 have received food rations for three days. A second distribution round with weekly food rations is currently being prepared.
The DRC Humanitarian Coordinator warned that unless the underlying causes of the conflict are addressed, there is a great potential for further violence and displacement. The ongoing crisis in DRC has left 2.4 million internally displaced people, including 1.6 million in North and South Kivu provinces.

Add something tangy to your family's Italian dinner! Serve sausage and pepper cooked in tomato over your pasta - a wonderful meal.
Sausage with peppers and pasta is a popular Italian-American restaurant favorite. This version is easy to make; spicy Italian sausage and seasoned Italian tomato sauce add lots of flavor.
Like Parmesan, Asiago cheese is a firm, aged grating or shredding cheese. Look for containers of shredded Asiago in the grocery store deli or cheese department.
Mild Italian sausage can be used in this recipe.
Parmesan cheese can be used in place of Asiago.
Romaine lettuce tossed with creamy Italian dressing is nice with this penne dish. Spumoni ice cream is a refreshing dessert.

Kenya: Reaching thousands of children with food and education
12 June, 2012
At the height of the drought in Kenya last year, when an estimated 3.8 million people needed food assistance, World Vision International (WVI) launched a school feeding programme to reach the children hardest hit by the crisis in the Kajiado region, southwestern Kenya.
An allocation of US$150,000 from the OCHA-managed Emergency Response Fund (ERF) helped WVI reach more than 6,000 children in 14 schools across the arid region, which is located in Kenya's Rift Valley. Eighty per cent of Kenya's land is arid and semi-arid and more than 10 million people, many of them pastoralists, live on this land.
The six-month programme has been providing children with nutritious lunches filled with maize and beans to supplement the primarily meat-based diet of Masaai pastoralist communities. It has also been distributing 16,000 litres of water through each school per month to make sure that families have enough water to drink, cook and clean with.
"We couldn't have done this without the funding which was timely and had a great impact in helping the children who often returned home to find no food," said WVI Programme Manager Frank Meme during a recent joint OCHA/WVI assessment mission to Kajiado.
The free meals have not only helped fight food insecurity, they have also kept many of the children in school in a region where school enrolment and attendance have generally been poor. Children often stay home to help their families with chores such as collecting wood, water and herding the livestock.
WVI says that although the project is temporary and is due to end soon, it will have a long-term impact. Many of the schools involved have begun to find their own solutions to the food crisis through small-scale farming. The Meto Primary School, for example, has begun planting its own maize and the Enaroo Lukuny School is planning to set up an orchard and raise poultry. World Vision is also working with the students' parents to find sustainable solutions to protecting their lands and livestock during the dry season.

|What We Do
Golden Slipper isn't just a charity... it's a passion.
Through a variety of philanthropic endeavors, Slipper fosters an atmosphere of giving and friendship. We boast about our "hands-on" approach, and it's true. Our members give from their hearts - financially, through their expertise, their time, and their teamwork - to help the organization maintain and grow an unmatched summer camp for children, a college scholarship fund for deserving students, a welcoming center for senior citizens, and many other initiatives. Visit our Charitable Programs page for more information. Slipper is comprised of hundreds of individuals of all ages who give back to the Club year after year, generation after generation because they are passionate about what Slipper does.
In return, members "get" infinitely more than they "give." Namely, the pride of helping the community, the joy of seeing the fruits of their labor come to life, and the camaraderie that comes with being actively involved.
This passion dates back to 1922, when a group of Jewish Masons gathered regularly to socialize and play cards. They'd divide up their winnings and distribute them to families in need of money for food, coal, and other essentials. These selfless acts of kindness are the roots and the inspiration of Golden Slipper Club & Charities, now nearly 600 members strong.
Today the tradition continues. Golden Slipper continually finds ways to serve young and old. Operated almost exclusively by members and volunteers, Golden Slipper Club takes pride in serving the Greater Philadelphia region.
How you can help
There are many ways you can help Golden Slipper continue to make a difference in our community. You can support our efforts by making a donation, but even more importantly you can get involved by becoming a member. Visit our Benefits of Membership and Become a Member pages for more details. Slipper is not about the check you write but about the time and effort you put in to help run our organization and help those in our community. If you are looking to help those in need with your hands, heart and mind, not just with your pen, then Slipper may be the organization for you.

Benjamin Britten
born in Lowestoft, Suffolk, England, composed during the Modern period
Upon graduation from the RCM, Britten obtained a position scoring documentaries (on prosaic themes like "Sorting Office") for the Royal Post Office film unit. Working on a tight budget, he learned how to extract the maximum variety of color and musical effectiveness from the smallest combinations of instruments, producing dozens of such scores from 1935 to 1938. He rapidly emerged as the most promising British composer of his generation and entered into collaborative relationships that exerted a profound influence upon his creative life. Among the most important of his professional associates were literary figures like W.H. Auden, and later, E.M. Forster. None, however, played as central a role in Britten's life as the tenor Peter Pears, who was Britten's closest intimate, both personally and professionally, from the late '30s to the composer's death. Pears' voice inspired a number of Britten's vocal cycles and opera roles, and the two often joined forces in song recitals and, from 1948, in the organization and administration of the Aldeburgh Festival.
A steadfast pacifist, Britten left England in 1939 as war loomed over Europe. He spent four years in the United States and Canada, his compositional pace barely slackening, as evidenced by the production of works like the Sinfonia da Requiem (1940), the song cycle Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo (1940), and his first effort for the stage, Paul Bunyan (1940-1941). Eventually, the poetry of George Crabbe drew Britten back to England. With a Koussevitzky Commission backing him, the composer wrote the enormously successful opera Peter Grimes (1944-45), which marked the greatest turning point in his career. His fame secure, Britten over the next several decades wrote a dozen more operas, several of which -- Albert Herring (1947), Billy Budd (1951), The Turn of the Screw (1954), A Midsummer Night's Dream (1960), Death in Venice (1973) -- became instant and permanent fixtures of the repertoire. He also continued to produce much vocal, orchestral, and chamber music, including Songs and Proverbs of William Blake (1965), the three Cello Suites (1961-1964) and the Cello Symphony (1963), written for Mstislav Rostropovich, and the Third String Quartet (1975).
Britten suffered a stroke during heart surgery in 1971, which resulted in something of a slowdown in his creative activities. Nonetheless, he continued to compose until his death in 1976, by which time he was recognized as one of the principal musical figures of the twentieth century. ~ Michael Rodman, Rovi

Jimmy Johnson may not have been the brightest guy but he did come to the conclusion that he was going to hit on a certain percentage of his picks, and the probability of coming away with a quality player at 10 wasn't that much different than at 20 or 30.

Due to a hard disk failure I lost almost everything I have done in the last years: mail, configuration, scripts, documents, photos, everything.
I'm slowly catching up with a completely functional system.
Too much work and no time to write on advogato. Things are going pretty well, however.
davidw: let me know about megahal, I enjoy having a megahal-bot on #irc-prosa :-)
Back to work.
There's too much work going on here: we hired a couple of other people to help, but in the mean time I had to have the shortest holidays I ever had: 3 days only.
I went to the northern italy, as usual, and I was again surprised how much beatiful this country can be.
I made a quite interesting experiment with free software, that I want to share.
EtLinux is a quite well known embedded Linux distribution. Our ftp site is overloaded by people downloading 180Mb of sources and packages. So I decided to offer the possibility of getting a freshly burnt CD with EtLinux directly via snail-mail for free, in order to reduce load on our ftp server.
The offer was put half-hidden in a sub HTML page of the EtLinux web site. After only few hours I got 10 requests for the CD from China, India, Germany, etc. So I spent the day after burning CDs, packaging and sending them around the world.
I needed to reduce requests quickly, because I don't want to spend my time (or my employee's) burning CDs, packaging and sending them: I have other things to do.
So I set up a paypal account, and ask 10$ for burning the CDs and sending it (and maybe saving some money to fund future development).
I'm now surprised: among the people who requested the CD when it was "gratis", there were big corporations, companies and institutions, that can easily spend 10$, but since the new offer is up (10 days) no one has requested the CD.
Now, there are two options: 1) I made something wrong in paypal setup (I'm new to it) 2) people will ask for everything which is gratis, no matter if they really need it or not, and will not spend 10$ no matter if they really need it or not.
I will try to learn from this experience :-)
Business: waiting for a better time.
Free Software: waiting for a better time.
Things aren't going bad, after all ... :-)
I can't remember why I didn't post any entry in the last year. Anyway, I'm still in the process of running a start-up (Prosa).
The statute that force the company to use, modify, develop and sell only ``software libero'' has been legally accepted and everything else seem to go smoothly.
It's nice to see mperry hanging here. (Hi Mike!). It reminds me how many good people I met during my Linuxcare experience.
My hard drive died. My "stinkpad" has never worked well. I'm now spending my day reinstalling and reconfiguring everything, like in my "windows 3.1" days ... shit.
Everything with the re-founding of PROSA is working well. For those who asked, yes, we are still looking for hiring some more people. There is yet a lot of work to do.
I finally decide to re-create Prosa, the italian company forced by its statute to exclusively use, develop and sell free software.
I will stay away for a while, because I need some rest, but at least now I know what I will do in the future.
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Deeplinks Blog posts about EFF Europe
As the U.S. and European consumer organizations met with intellectual property (IP) and trade agencies last week, interactions with state agency representatives over U.S. IP policies helped to further expose some underlying flaws in state policy approaches regulating global IP enforcement. It is clear that IP/trade agencies' biased understanding of what constitutes a "stakeholder" and a "key interest" in agreements like the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), as well as their unfounded high valuation of what they call "IP-intensive" industries, are some of the problems that underlie the U.S. global IP enforcement agenda.
The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) was dealt a major blow on April 12 when MEP David Martin, the European Parliament's rapporteur for the agreement and member of the Committee responsible for delivering the recommendation [doc] to European Parliament to adopt or reject the agreement, announced that he would be recommending a "no" vote. While the prospects of the European Parliament ratifying the agreement seems to have fortunately lessened, it does not mean that it's a fait accompli that the European Parliament will reject ACTA. As we've noted before, ACTA is a plurilateral agreement designed to broaden and extend existing intellectual property enforcement laws to the Internet. It was negotiated in secret by a handful of countries, in a process that intentionally bypassed the checks and balances of existing international IP norm-setting bodies without any meaningful input from national parliaments, policymakers, or their citizens. In our second post on the ACTA State of Play, we'll look at what's happening in Europe and why we should all be keeping a close eye on what's happening in Brussels. (For those interested in US developments, please see our previous post here).
The Polish digital civil rights group Panoptykon Foundation recently published harrowing findings regarding abuses of Poland's mandatory data retention law. Using a Freedom of Information Act request, Panoptykon obtained documents that reveal that in 2011, Polish authorities requested users' traffic data retained by telcos and ISPs over 1.85 million times—half a million times more than in 2010. These findings underscore fundamental flaws in the Polish mandatory data retention law that was fast-tracked in legislation without public debate in 2009.
On Sunday, the United Kingdom's Prime Minister David Cameron and the Interior Ministry were forced to defend a sweeping wiretapping proposal, which would aim to monitor every single email, text message, and phone call flowing through the whole country. The proposal would likely force all UK Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to install "black boxes" on their systems that use Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology, which would give authorities access to all communications data without a warrant or any judicial oversight.
Last week, the Conseil Constitutionnel, the highest authority on the French Constitution, declared the provisions of a law permitting judicial and police use of a centralized national ID database to be unconstitutional. 200 members of the French Parliament referred the law to the Conseil following the law's adoption on March 6th.

I have read much of this thread, with some amusement, I might add. Recall someone pressing ED for a defined judging std. There is a std I think that most judges follow. Here's an over-simplication. If you place a mark on your paper, as a judge, showing the place from which all dogs are required to start, then place a mark on your paper for the location of each bird thrown or shot, then draw straight lines between the start & the location where each mark falls, then you have a std of performance. Then trace the actual performance of each dog for each mark once the dog reaches the area of the fall (in the case of marks) & note the performance or hunt in and around the area of the falls for each dog before the dog retrieves the bird. For blinds, draw a straight line between the starting line and the blind location. For each dog running the blind note the deviation from the straight line. Then choose the winner as the dog with the least deviation from the straight lines, i.e., the smallest, shortest hunts (in the area of the falls as we are cautioned not to judge lines to the AOF by the governing rules) & the least deviation from the straight lines on the blinds. The evaluation is relative among the competing dogs with appropriate weight of the marks and blinds as per the governing rules for the particular stake being judged. Be consistent in judgement between the dogs & follow the governing rules.
And I think someone said it with even more simplification, the dog with the least lead on the paper wins....usually.
