This morning my father is having his second (and last) surgery to finish placing all of the hardware he needs for Deep Brain Stimulation therapy for Parkinson's Disease. Tomorrow, I'll be on the road to Iowa to visit and see for myself how he is doing. (C. will be home with the cats, recovering from his semester.) Dad's hardware won't be activated until the very end of December, so we won't know how much improvement he will see until the first of the year, but I just need to check in and give everyone hugs.

That being said, I'll be offline for a few days more. You can see that I have been fairly quiet already this break, after Monday's draft. I confess, Tuesday was a disaster in terms of poetry. One of my goals for the break is to re-visit In a World Made of Such Weather as This, my 'second book.' As most of you know, the manuscript has gotten lots of love in terms of semi-finalist status and a bit of love as a finalist; however, it has not made the final leap to publication, and I've been sending it out in what I consider its strongest form for two years (with a re-ordering between year one and year two). In any case, I thought I was ready to take another look under the hood and see if I needed to tinker with it more.
It's hard for me to describe what happened on Tuesday when I opened up the binder and started reading the poems. After the first poem, I started questioning everything. I wondered what I had been thinking. I beat myself up. I felt sick. I was tired of all the poems I was reading. I half-heartedly shuffled a few poems around. I told myself to stick with it and just keep reading. I stopped reading and closed the binder in defeat. I'm now wondering if it is even a book. Most horrify thought: it is not a book and I've wasted my time on it. I feel sick again, now, just thinking about it.
On reflection, I suspect I know what is happening. I've "broken up" with those poems. Traci Brimhall writes about this transition at Her Circle Ezine. The new series I'm working on is so exciting and full of energy that I've moved on to a new passion. Since the sickly speaker poems are shaping up as a true series with an arc of a plot that the poems will follow, I'm caught up in that cohesiveness. My weather book is definitely NOT a project book. It is a 100% mix-tape book, with common themes and threads floating throughout, but no definitive arc that moves through time and place. Connections that seemed natural and instinctive when I put those poems together have evaporated in the face of how easily the new project poems are sliding together.
Today, I sit here gathering questions.
If nearly every poem in the collection has been published individually, is that enough? Is that too much? Do I suffer from over-exposure?
Is the poetry world more apt to publish a project book over a mix-tape book?
What does it mean to collect these loosely connected poems in a book and send it out into the world?
Is it all about audience at this point, growing the audience for all of the poems together?
When does one decide to abandon a collection?
How does one deal with this abandonment?
One thought that is running through my head is that I need to go back to square one and pull the whole thing apart and find the poems that still sing to me and see what I have then.
Another thought is that I'm being too hard on the book and need to leave it be and see what happens with this round of submissions. But how long do I keep putting the book out there without revision and can I continue to do so when my passions have moved on to other work?
While nothing about this work is physically taxing, the emotional exhaustion is real.

MIAMI — Florida's largest property insurer has approved another round of rate hikes that could affect more than a million policyholders.
The board for Citizens Property Insurance Corp. voted Wednesday to raise rates by a statewide average of 7 percent next year, adding $178 million in new insurance costs for policyholders.
Many customers face higher increases because they use Citizens to cover only storm-related damages. For example, tens of thousands of homeowners in coastal counties such as Broward, Collier, Miami-Dade, Escambia and Palm Beach could face a 10.7 percent hike. That would translate to an average premium increase of as much as $300 or $400 a year.
Other Citizens' customers who have complete homeowners coverage could see their rates go up by a smaller percentage, if state regulators approve the hikes. Some homeowners in Sarasota, Santa Rosa and Walton counties may only see their rates increase by 5 percent to 6 percent.
The overall statewide rate hike does not reflect increases the board approved for sinkhole coverage, which is not subject to the state's annual 10 percent cap. Citizens' staff had recommended a 27.3 percent hike for sinkhole policyholders but the board approved a slightly lower increase, voting to phase in rates in the three hardest-hit counties to cushion the impact. Policyholders in Pasco and Hernando counties will pay 20 percent of the increase while homeowners in Hillsborough County will pay half the rate hike.
Citizens is the insurer of last resort in the state and it covers many homes and property that traditional insurers do not cover. But because of rate caps, Citizens says it does not charge as much as it actually needs to cover potential claims.
On Wednesday, some lawmakers joined with Florida's chief financial officer, Jeff Atwater, and its insurance consumer advocate, Robin Smith Westcott, in asking the Citizens board to consider the financial hardship the rate hikes would impose on many homeowners. State Rep. Frank Artiles, R-Miami, asked the board to limit increases, especially in South Florida.
"We are really hurting in Miami-Dade County," he said. "We feel it more than anybody else."
Board members acknowledged the potential hardships but repeatedly referred to their legislative mandate to stabilize the state-run insurer. The increases, they said, are part of a strategy to put customers on a "glide path" to actuarially sound premiums.
Gov. Rick Scott and others have pushed to reduce the size of Citizens out of fears that it could not handle its losses following a major storm. But some moves to reduce the state's risk have come under fire.
The Citizens board recently approved a $52 million deal to shift 60,000 policyholders to a fledgling company that contributed $110,000 to a political committee controlled by Scott. Heritage Property Insurance and Casualty is being paid to assume any claims associated with policies going back to January. But since the company gets to choose the policies it wants, the insurer could cherry-pick policyholders who have no claims pending.
Still, Citizens officials said Wednesday that such deals, known as "take-outs," were helping to reduce the state's liability and making rates in the private market more competitive for consumers.
The company has built up a $6 billion surplus.

Money With The Little Ones
My children, ages 8 and 3, received some of the "green stuff" in their Valentine's Day cards yesterday from their grandparents. They each have $12 burning holes in their pockets now. While I appreciate my parents' efforts (and those of my in-laws) to not send MORE sugar into our house, the money issues are rearing their ugly heads today. The good news is that I get to teach my children a bit about the responsibility that comes with money, and it looks like today's a good day to start.
My 8 year old is already quite proficient at budgeting and spending. He has been receiving an allowance for a couple of years now, and he is diligent in using the budget we created for him. 10% of everything he gets goes into the offering plate at church each Sunday. Of the money left, he puts 40% in his piggy bank and 50% in his wallet. The money in his wallet is his to spend…on toys, balls, a new video game for his system, baseball trading cards, a gift for a friend…whatever he chooses.
The money he puts away into his piggy bank is not "untouchable", but it requires a family meeting in order to bring it out. For almost two years, he never asked about the money he put away, but when he wanted a very expensive toy after Christmas, we sat down with him and made sure he REALLY wanted it (he had been asking for it for almost a year), then we counted his savings. He very easily covered the cost of the toy all on his own. What an amazing feeling for him to walk into the store with his own money and purchase something so valuable to him! And what an amazing feeling for us not to have to pay for it!
With our younger child, though, the process is a bit different. He doesn't receive an allowance, but he has accumulated quite a little kitty of money. We use a similar budget for him, but his "income" is quite sporadic (gifts are pretty much it!). However, he still puts money in the offering plate, we put a bit of money into a piggy bank for him (it is more like 20-25% of the total amount) and the rest is his to spend – within reason.
Taking him shopping, we have an idea on what he should spend his money. For instance, this morning we will be visiting our local discount store to look for a new DVD in a series he enjoys. He will get to choose the title. I am not going to set my three year old loose in the entire store with money to spend; we have a few items that he has said he would like, and we will go and choose one of those to purchase today. He enjoys the thrill of independence while shopping, and I still am able to garnish some control as to what he purchases. He will be the one to put the money on the counter, and he will be the one to take the receipt and the bag out of the store.
While my boys are both on two very different planes of learning when it comes to budgets and spending, I think it is a very valuable lesson for children to spend their own money with guidance from parents. Children learn by example, by experience and with a little assistance. Making it a positive experience creates a healthy and smart consumer later on!

Two victories highlight Lady Bison Soccer preseason
The Lipscomb women's soccer team picked up a pair of victories enroute to a 2-0 record during its preseason exhibition contests. The opening game was a 1-0 decision over UAB and was followed by a 2-1 victory over Southeast Missouri State. Head coach Kevin O'Brien discusses the two contests and how the momentum will carry over into the regular season.
The first regular season contest is Friday with a 6 p.m. start at Western Carolina. The home opener is Sept. 2 as the Lady Bisons host 2012 NCAA participant and defending OVC Champion UT-Martin. The scheduled kickoff is 7 p.m.

Furious attempts going on to figure out how to value Apple (AAPL). Do you slap a multiple of 8x earnings on it, which is what people are doing right now, valuing it the way that 9.5% grower historically is selling? Does that make sense? Does it make sense even though it is growing at 18%?
Do you draw a line in the sand at the Intel (INTC) and Cisco (CSCO) 10x multiples, as they have slightly higher longer growth rates?
Google (GOOG), which has a 15% growth rate, under Apple's, trades at 13x earnings. That had been the level this whole thing started peaking at, using roughly $53 in earnings power.
But those days are past.
Do you value it on dividends? Back to the Intel 4% yield. Not helpful.
Ex-cash? Hasn't meant a thing.
Of course, if Apple would have an aggressive buyback, you could radically shrink the share count, boost the earnings and perhaps get a higher multiple. That's within the confines of what Apple can do.
Or is this peak earnings right here, right now? That might be why this stock can sell at a level that is equivalent to Microsoft (MSFT), and it is fairly valued.
The confusion here is that the stock is caught in the vise of growth going to value, in the throes of the last part, the last phase of that brutal process. If you bet that the company reacts with something to shrink share count or boost the dividend radically, you should be buying it right here, because that can interfere with the growth-to-value re-valuation process.
Otherwise, it has to overshoot to get where it can bottom, and remember, once it goes to "value" status, it cannot have animal spirits higher. They just don't do that anymore, as we know all too well from Intel, Microsoft and Cisco, the new cohort for Apple, the once-quintessential growth stock that is no longer allowed to have three straight misses and the first decline in earnings per share in 10 years.

ATMT necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 104 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
Athlete's Touch Massage Therapy (website is athletestouch.org)
I'm building a Massage Therapy business from the ground up. The name is "Athlete's Touch Massage Therapy" and the website is athletestouch.org (to be built around winner). The company will focus on Sports Massage - and the primary target demographic is athletes.
I will be specializing in sports massage, so I will be targeting the adult athlete demographic (professionals, amateurs, weekend warriors) that include: triathletes, runners, cyclists, swimmers, weightlifters, and including adult recreational leagues (basketball, hockey, soccer, flag football, etc). My primary specialty will be athletes, however I do not want to turn "regular" people away either.
The logo needs to be professional looking, not cartoonish - the target demographic are active people with disposable income to spend on the "extras" like massage, as a proactive way to stay healthy and keep themselves in good shape.
I've agreed to sponsor a local cycling club, so my logo will be appearing on their jersey, and I'll have a banner ad on their website. I may sponsor other athletic groups in the future, so having a logo that displays the name/imagery/website and be eye catching, memorable, appealing, representing smooth athletic movement is key!
I want to be positioned so that when someone in my geographic region thinks about "sports massage", they will think of my company because of the logo that they remember having seen, and how impressed they were by it!!!
Looking for an original design, nothing from clipart or free stock images, or photos. I'm looking for a logo that will be an eyecatcher, attention grabber/holder. Ideally it will have the words "Athlete's Touch Massage Therapy" and the website "athletestouch.org" incorporated into the design.
The feel of the logo should be sports/athletic/body movement based, while not necessarily being an exact image of an athlete competing it could be something creative though not a cartoon. Something that is smooth flowing, and blends the imagery and the full name (Athlete's Touch Massage Therapy), with the website listed separately perhaps below.
found this: http://images02.olx.org.uk/ui/2/09/…0603_1.jpg
I like the abstract, flowy, structure. Use that as a starting point. Perhaps see about incorporating the "A" from Athlete's into the top part of the image (the part that represents the therapist) - which may work better if the crossing of the "T" part of the image is flipped to extend more to the left? Color wise I'm thinking 2 tones, Blue and Yellow. Also, looking to have the website athletestouch.org incorporated into the logo as well. Thanks
Logo should be able to stand alone, or be used with just the website address or just the business name or all 3 blended together into one.
Looking for a CYMK image to be provided in PDF, as well as a layered RGB file in Photoshop PSD, and a JPEG.

Blake gave personal tips to several players about how to improve their game, specifically schooling them on the basic forehand, backhand, serve and volley techniques that have helped him achieve success.
"I'm just trying to give them basic fundamentals – move your feet, get set up early – mainly I'm just trying to stress that people have fun out here," Blake said. "People get caught up and lost in the fact that some people make it a profession, but you have to look at it as a good thing for people to get out and be active, and for these kids, to have a good time."
Throughout the day in the shadow of the U.S. National Tennis Center, the courts were packed with youngsters cycling through different stations where singles and doubles elimination games and drills were used to help kids practice their techniques right alongside Blake, who ran through the drills just like everybody else.
At the end of the clinic, there was a challenge to hit a tennis ball through a two-foot wide ring into a net, a challenge only two of the participants – Alik Jackson and Daniel Hristodorob – were able to best. Both Jackson and Hristodorob won a set of U.S.T.A. tickets from Coca Cola for their achievement.
CityParks Tennis, a program run by the City Parks Foundation, provides lessons to kids of all ages and at all levels of play through its partnerships with Chase Bank, LaCoste and Coca Cola. The program is designed to make the sport less cost-prohibitive for interested young players.
The need for the CityParks Tennis program was highlighted at the event when John Ellis and his wife Dr. Meryem Bencheikh approached Blake asking him to advocate for lower court fees at New York City's public parks.
"I wish there was a family pass, like a New York City family pass," Ellis said. "There are seven of us, and it's too expensive for us to enjoy tennis.
A representative of CityParks Tennis who was nearby when the couple approached Blake, agreed that court prices are cost-prohibitive, and said that is just one reason the foundation has teamed up with big names like LaCoste to sponsor their program in hopes of making the sport more accessible to youth from all economic backgrounds.
Blake told the couple that he didn't know how, but that he would do what he can to help.
"The USTA is making a push to get young children involved," Blake said. "Obviously it's been a long time since an American won there. I'll certainly advocate that if I can."

Cow Chases Bear Off Pasture
Cow, Bear Touch Noses Before Bear Scared Off
HYGIENE, Colo. -- Cowabunga! Who needs a guard dog when you have a cow?
A bear trying to grab apples at a pasture in Hygiene was scared off Sunday by the homeowner's heifer.
Nancy Dayton said a young black bear was in her apple tree and was starting to roam the area when her black cow, Apple, confronted it and chased it off.
Dayton wasn't there, but her two tenants, Jack McDonald and Penny Cox, saw it happen. McDonald said he had heard a ruckus outside, at about 5 p.m., so he went to investigate.
"I looked inside the apple tree here and instead of seeing the cats fighting, I saw a bear," McDonald said.
"And there's the bear looking at him from the tree so he backed off and saw Apple moseying over," Dayton said.
The bear climbed down from the tree, and climbed over the fence to get a closer look at Apple. The two stared each other down for some time, McDonald said.
"When they saw each other, you thought there was going to be some kind of massive encounter -- a fight," McDonald said.
"They touched noses and I kept thinking, 'This is a bear and a cow,'" Cox said.
The two sniffed each other out, and then Apple chased the bear back up the apple tree.
"They hung out by the apple tree for a while and then the cow chased him to the fence. It was hilarious," McDonald said.
"She took off on a full run," Dayton said.
The encounter lasted about 30 minutes. Both animals were curious, not aggressive, witnesses said.
"It could have been that she was brave and chasing the bear off or it could have been that she was trying to keep up with the bear," McDonald said, laughing. "It was cute."
Dayton named the cow Apple because the black angus loves the fruit, and eats them all the time when they fall off the tree.
"She was protecting her apple tree," Dayton said.
Officers with the Division of Wildlife were called to Dayton's home, but by the time they arrived, the bear was long gone. Officers told Dayton that a big bear and her two cubs had been spotted in Hygiene earlier in the morning. The bears were spotted three times at Hygiene Elementary School the day before school started.
Dayton said it was a good thing that the momma bear wasn't around or Apple could have been hurt. She also noticed that the cub had tried to get into her Dumpster since the lids were collapsed.
Dayton said she bought Apple a year ago from a rancher, never thinking the cow could one day protect her property.
"I kind of joke that I'm going for 'farm ambience.' I'm not a rancher or a cattleman. She's something of a pet. Now, she's a star," McDonald said.

Gabon burns thousands of ivory tusks and carvings
- Date June 27, 2012
Media Contact
- Lee Poston 202-495-4536 email@example.com
- In This Press Release
Libreville, Gabon, 27th June 2012 – In a bold move against poaching and illegal wildlife trade, Gabon burned its government-held ivory stockpile today. The move comes at a time of intense poaching pressure in Central Africa, where the illegal killing of elephants for ivory is at record levels. Gabon's President Ali Bongo ignited the ivory pyre in Cite de Democratie.
WWF and TRAFFIC worked with Gabon to independently audit its government-owned ivory stockpile before any was destroyed, to ensure that all tusks were accounted for and none had leaked into illegal trade.
"Gabon has a policy of zero tolerance for wildlife crime and we are putting in place the institutions and laws to ensure this policy is enforced," said President Ali Bongo.
The audited ivory stock totalled 10,637 lbs., including 1,293 pieces of rough ivory mainly composed of tusks and 17,730 pieces of worked ivory. The overall quantity of stockpiled ivory corresponded to roughly 850 dead elephants.
"WWF supports Gabon's decision and sees the move as an indication of the country's commitment to curbing elephant poaching and the illegal ivory trade," said Stefanie Conrad, WWF Central Africa Regional Programme Office Representative. "Ivory of illegal or unknown origin cannot be sold legally internationally for commercial purposes. Gabon has acted commendably in deciding to put such ivory beyond use," she said.
Gabon is the first country in Central Africa to publicly destroy its ivory, and the burning of the government's stockpile sends a strong signal demonstrating the nation's commitment to tackling the illegal wildlife trade.
A report issued last week by the UN body that regulates the international wildlife trade found that 2011 was the worst year on record for elephant poaching in Africa. It is estimated that tens of thousands of elephants are being killed across Africa each year for their tusks, which are in demand in Asia.
"This is an international problem and Gabon is coming under siege by criminal gangs of hunters and crime syndicates that smuggle ivory to Asia. Unless there is a strong international reaction to stop wildlife crime, and ivory smuggling in particular, the forests of Gabon will no longer vibrate with the rumble of the forest elephant," said Professor Lee White, Executive Secretary of Agence Nationale des Parcs Nationaux (Gabon's National Parks Agency).
"We need to break the illegal ivory trade chain," said Suparna Biswas, Country Director of WWF-Gabon. "This time the decision has come from the top and should be an example to others. Many Central Africa ministries still proudly display pieces of worked ivory in their offices. Many government officials are implicated in illicit ivory trafficking. This must end."
TRAFFIC's data on ivory seizures show that record levels of illicit ivory were seized in 2011.
"If not managed properly, ivory stockpiles in the hands of government suddenly 'get legs' and move into illegal trade. Zambia lost 3 tonnes of ivory from the government's strong room just last week and Mozambique lost 1.1 tonnes in February," said Tom Milliken, TRAFFIC's ivory trade expert. "Gabon's actions effectively keep the ivory out of the way of temptation."
Central Africa governments have joined together in search of ways to overcome this crisis by signing a regional plan to strengthen law enforcement and better combat poaching of elephants and other species at risk from illegal wildlife trade.

Concentration in Psychology
Behavioral and Social Sciences
A concentration in Psychology takes a student beyond the opportunities offered by the Psychology minor, providing foundational skills in psychology. The program, when combined with a complementary academic major, will help prepare students for graduate school or a career in which an understanding of human behavior is important. Students preparing for people-oriented careers in business, communication, education, government, church ministry, or missions often choose a Psychology concentration. Having a concentration in Psychology is often the minimal entry-level standard for graduate studies in counseling.
The Behavioral Sciences offer rich opportunities to its student through coursework, interaction with faculty and students, and the challenge to integrate faith concepts. We also prepare our students for employment and continuing education in graduate school. Students are able to conduct and present research projects and develop professional skills by serving as volunteers and interns in our community. The Psychology concentration will give students exposure to these opportunities, providing a wonderful complement to the major of their choosing.

|Home >> Ask Olympus: How do I photograph documents?
I want to copy historic documents to digitally insert them into my presentations. Do you have any tips for copying documents with my Olympus Stylus or FE cameras?
As we exchange and share information in electronic documents, audio/visual presentations and through the Internet, there is a greater need to photographically digitize documents and old photographic prints. This is a field of photography known as copy photography. Copy photography can be done very well with basic resources if you follow a few basic tips.
Your camera has a set of SCENE modes that apply preset settings for specific scenarios. In Olympus digital cameras there is a DOCUMENTS SCENE mode that increases the contrast between letters and background. This can make yellowed or faded documents easier to read when they are digitized. The mode also adjusts the exposure so the paper background copies lighter than the exposure the camera would make in the AUTO or Program shooting modes.
Do not use the flash when copying documents, as that will wash them out. Set the flash to the setting in which the flash will not fire. If you don't have copy lights and a copy stand to hold the camera, the best source of light is sunlight—it is the right color temperature and it is bright enough to get fast shutter speeds needed to obtain a sharp, readable image. At some time of the day you may have pools of light on your floors. Place a piece of black or gray poster board on the floor to lay the documents on when you copy them. When you shoot, it is important to keep the images square. If the camera has a DISP (Display) button, press it until you get a grid on the LCD screen to assist you in squaring up the image. If the square edges of the document appear to have a slight curvature, zoom the lens out a little bit to square the edges.
Once they are copied the copy photographs can be downloaded to software where they can have additional cleanup of the document with post-processing and then be inserted in the project digitally.

Difference between revisions of "Şirince"
Revision as of 15:39, 10 August 2012
Şirince, formerly Kirkince or Çirkince, is a village nestled on the hills in Central Aegean Region, Turkey. It is a small village which is famous for its wine and houses. Sirince was a Greek village before the Turkish Independence War. In 1923, Turkish and Greek governments exchanged the populations. Greek government exiled the Muslims of Greece to Turkey, while the Turkish government exiled Greeks of Turkey to Greece. Şirince forms the setting of Greek writer Dido Sotiriou's—a native of Şirince—Farewell Anatolia, in which the events around the Greco-Turkish War of 1919–1922 are depicted through the eyes of a fictional character from Şirince.
Şirince today is very popular with Turkish tourists, especially on weekends.
Get in
From Selçuk town (8 km away from Şirince), you can take minibuses to the village, which cost 3 TL. There is a minibus at every hour towards both directions.
Get around
Sirince's local architecture, which nowadays is under legal protection, is well preserved. Some of the houses of the village are restored to their former glory, while some others are on the edge of dilapidation. The village is quite a heaven for the photographer.
Apart from the historical background of the village, there are fantastic valleys to walk around. Olive groves, peach gardens, vineyards... it's Turkey's Tuscany.
Special Fruit Wines,(varieties include Peach wine, Blackberry, Cherry, Strawberry, Melon and Kiwi) handicrafts, olive oil, Soaps, Lavendar products and natural cosmetics.
There are planty of restaurants in the village with reasonable prices. They serve local specialties and grilled meat.
You can find alcohol in every restaurant. Every house, on the other hand, makes its own wine. In addition to homemade (grape) wines, Şirince is also well-known for its fruit wines made of apple, berries or more unusual types such as myrte. All through the village are shops where you can put your wine tasting skills to the test.

Have you heard that Amanda Jean over at Crazy Mom Quilts has started a 'Finish it Up Friday' link up?
Well, I have a finish that I am happy to link up.
Here is a birthday quilt for N'Tari who has a birthday on November 9.
This quilt was constructed with the help of 12 ladies from our very own Quilting Bee!
We used Jennifer's Cross Block Tutorial. I put the blocks on point because that is what has been speaking to me lately :) and placed the extras on the back.
I hope he *loves* it and a huge thanks to those ladies who sent blocks--I love how these MHC Quilting Bee quilts are turning out--two more to go!

A pleural effusion is a buildup of fluid between the layers of tissue that line the lungs and chest cavity.
Alternative Names
Fluid in the chest; Fluid on the lung; Pleural fluid
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Your body produces pleural fluid in small amounts to lubricate the surfaces of the pleura, the thin tissue that lines the chest cavity and surrounds the lungs. A pleural effusion is an abnormal, excessive collection of this fluid.
There are two different types:
Transudative pleural effusions are caused by fluid leaking into the pleural space. This is caused by increased pressure in the blood vessels or a low blood protein count.
Congestive heart failureis the most common cause.
Exudative effusions are caused by blocked blood vessels or lymph vessels, inflammation, lung injury, and tumors.
Chest pain, usually a sharp pain that is worse with cough or deep breaths Cough
- Fever
Hiccups Rapid breathing Shortness of breath
Sometimes there are no symptoms.
Signs and tests
Your doctor or nurse will examine you and listen to your lungs with a stethoscope.
The following tests may help to confirm a diagnosis:
Chest CT scan Chest x-ray
- Kidney and liver function blood tests
Pleural fluid analysis(examining the fluid under a microscope to look for bacteria, amount of protein, and presence of cancer cells) Thoracentesis(a sample of fluid is removed with a needle inserted between the ribs)
- Ultrasound of the chest and heart
The goal of treatment is to:
Remove the fluid
Prevent fluid from building up again
Determine and treat the cause of the fluid buildup
Removing the fluid (thoracentesis) may be done if there is a lot of fluid and it is causing chest pressure, shortness of breath, or other breathing problems, such as low oxygen levels. Removing the fluid allows the lung to expand, making breathing easier.
The cause of the fluid build up must be treated, too.
If it is due to congestive heart failure, you may receive diuretics (water pills) and other medications to treat heart failure.
Pleural effusions caused by infection are treated with antibiotics.
In people with cancer or infections, the effusion is often treated by using a chest tube for several days to drain the fluid.
Sometimes, small tubes can be left in the pleural cavity for a long time to drain the fluid. In some cases, the following may be done:
Putting medication into the chest that prevents fluid from building up again after it is drained
Radiation therapy
Expectations (prognosis)
The expected outcome depends upon the underlying disease.
Complications may include:
- Lung damage
- Infection that turns into an abscess, called an
empyema, which will need to be drained with a chest tube Pneumothorax(air in the chest cavity) after thoracentesis
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of pleural effusion.
Call your provider or go to the emergency room if shortness of breath or difficulty breathing occurs immediately after thoracentesis.

Salwar kameez (also spelt shalwar kameez or shalwar qameez) is the dress worn by both men and women in South Asia and Central Asia. It is a unisex dress similar in manner to shirt and pants worn by westerners. Traditionally, it has been worn in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Punjab (a region shared by both Pakistan and Northern India). It is the official traditional dress of Pakistan. Since the 20th century, women in Southern India have also adopted this dress complementing the Sari, the traditional dress of India. Wiki
As Salwar Kameez is a traditional dresses of South Asia but now a days it is rapidly changing in stylish designs. Most of the dresses designs modifying the salawar kameez according to the modern trend, like Kameez is converting in the Kurti, Frocks, Umbrella Frocks, Open Shirts and Gowns which are reshaping of the Traditional Kameez and Salwar is also modified into the Churidar Pajama, Trouser Salwars, Indian and Pakistani Pajama and Patiala Salwars. Lets checkout the Latest Salwar Kameez and Kurti Designs in colorful Patterns for Parties.
Patiala Salwar, Which follows the Indian Punjabi Patiala Culture, The Designs introduced a huge Variety of Patiala Pajama / Trouser in Market and Boutiques. Both of these dresses have Indian Patiala Trouser with short kameez / Kurti. This patiala fashion always look beautiful with short kameez or new designs of Salwar kameez instead of long kurti because only with short kurti the patiala trouser is prominent. The kameez of both dresses are designed for parties instead of casual season. These dresses have heavy and fancy work of embroidery which is also representing the Indian Patiala Culture.
Here we will discuss the re-modification of frock which was the culture of Mughilia Season (Mughal Dress Culture). The frock fashion was very common and most wearable dress in Pakistan and India, and yet is adopting as latest fashion for parties and functions. But these dresses which I am going to discuss with you is these modern and fancy frocks which is only wear like in India. These frocks are small in length, Fitted (according to the body) and have beautiful embroidery and fancy work in dresses. These dresses may common in India but in Pakistan and Bangladesh there are some religious barrier to adopt these modern look of Frock. Frocks are always uncompleted without Churi-Pajama, that's why these dresses have sparkling / shining look of churidar-pajama. The designer designed these short frock dresses especially for parties / night parties.
In these incredible collection the designer represents the new look of Ladies Kurti / Kurta and Salwar Kameez. Which have bit work of embroidery and colorful fabrics. In these collection the spicy colors are adopted for moder teen-age parties because now a days teen age girls like these types of spicy and colorful dresses for wedding parties only. But in casual and refreshment parties this color pattern is not adopt. All of these dresses have beautiful churidar salwars.
As umbrella frock fashion is already in and quality designs, garments companies and boutique are already introduced there appreciable umbrella frock designs that's why the designer of salwar.com also show his interest in umbrella frock. These umbrella frocks is highly adoptable fashion as compare to open-shirt and gown kameez. Because only umbrella frocks can represent the real beauty of a slim girl. These umbrella frocks have completely new looks as compare to my previous posts. These frocks have little touch of culture when we see the embroidery work. These types of dresses are highly appreciating in current parties like wedding function.
All these dresses are taken from salwar.com just for sharing the latest trend of ladies kurti / Kurta with colorful patterns you can easily buy these dresses from their official website. Regarding any copyright issue you can contact us.

It is a fairly simple but tedious project. I have to admit it took me more than one day to complete this project. So here goes the tutorial.
1. Find your pallet. This particular one was found by the side of a lake by my father. I drove it home attached to the top of my minvan. You can ask sales clerks outside of stores if you can take one of theirs. I know they recycle them sometimes but other times they just throw them out for scraps. The more character it has the better looking....but also more sanding.
2. Take it apart. First cut off the ends (as shown by Ana White). Save for those for another project (I have one I'll show you later). Then take each board off the main frame. This will take some muscle and a hammer or crow bar. Sometimes the nails are so weathered and rusted they're hard to get out of the boards. Do not throw any leftover wood away yet. You'll need most of it.
3. Once you have the amount of boards you'd like, cut them down to roughly the same size using a jigsaw.
4. Now, using two of the smaller, but sturdy, boards, flip it over so it lays flat. Arrange the other boards going across these two boards in the order you'd like so they fit snuggly.
5. Now, nail them onto those two back boards (as seen in photo). Glue with gorilla glue or wood glue, if necessary. Some of my boards were warped and did not lay flush so I filled in the gaps with instant drying gorilla glue (which puffs up a lot...but I am impatient and it doesn't show on the back anyhow).
6. Now sand away until it's smooth enough to paint on and is safe to handle.
7. Next, add hooks. The first hooks I added were very wimpy and fell out when I hung it. Keep in mind, these pallets are not lightweight and need very sturdy and strong hooks to hang it up.
8. Now for the fun part. Design your subway art. I used my silhouette cameo to design and cut out the vinyl. If you do not have one of these cutting machines check out Pinterest for other ideas that use stencils, paper rubbing and other alternative methods.
9. Be sure to measure each board (length and height) so you know how much room you have to add the text. Then play with different fonts and move around the text until you see what fits and looks right. I created a workspace that was the size of the pallet on the screen, just so I could see how it all fit. But my cutting mat is only 12"x 24" so I cut in different phases. I used Bookman old style (in bold) and Bodoni MT Black for the fonts. These addresses are not in chronological order. I wanted to make sure they all fit and looked good.
10. To save money I used contact paper. Unfortunately, mine was clear so it was really hard to see the lettering from the backing. If you use this, I recommend buying a dark contact paper. I set the blade to 1. Technically with vinyl you don't need to use the mat (I learned that the hard way....my mat is so cut up now) and had it double cut.
Once you have it all "printed" and cut each address out. So you have a bunch of strips of addresses or quotes or whatever it is on each board.
11. Once your letters are all cut weed out the centers of each letter. But be careful. Keep the little fillings of each letter in like the middle of the "e" and "A's" and "R's" etc. Don't lose those or you'll have to cut them again or make it up or just not use them.
12. Now add transfer paper to the top. Or, to save money, I used painters tape. It worked really nicely. My lettering was just under the width of the thick painters tape. It's just sticky enough to hold it together but not so sticky that it won't peel off.
Using the plastic scraper (or pampered chef dish scraper, or credit card or whatever works) press down the tape over the contact lettering firm and in the same direction.
13. Once it is stuck nicely carefully peel off the solid color of the contact paper. Throw that away.
You can barely see the letters transferred onto the tape. This is why colored contact paper would have been easier.
14. Now transfer the lettering to the board. Be sure it's centered. I made the mistake of being a little off centered on a few of mine and now it bugs me a bit. Using your scraper, gently scrape over the tape to adhere it to the wood nicely. Some of these boards have holes or really rough spots so make sure it's stuck all the way with no air pockets or gaps that paint can escape through. Then gently pull off the tape and the contact lettering will remain on the wood. Now you're ready to paint!
15. Pick your paint colors. I painted two layers so if you don't like the first color, re-mix and paint over it. Then it'll leave an even more rustic look. Use a foam brush or a regular paint brush and acrylic paints.
16. Paint over the lettering. Stay within the lines. Try to paint on top of, with blobs, dabbing. If you swipe it has a greater chance of getting underneath the vinyl and blurring your lettering.
17. Allow to dry before adding the next coat.
18. Once you're done painting allow to dry completely for several hours. Then gently peel off contact paper. Peel off in the opposite direction, slowly pulling back and not up so it doesn't accidentally pick up some of the paint with it. Then weed out the little filler letters (as seen in the "0).
19. And you're done! It's certainly not perfect, but neither am I so it works. Notice how there is only room for 2-3 more addresses!! Hint, hint to the husband. We've moved enough times!
Please, pin away. And do not hesitate to ask if you have any technical questions.

The Lady Buccaneers are coming off a season where they earned their first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament after claiming both Atlantic Sun regular season and tournament championship. Along the way, ETSU set school records in points scored (2,478) and rebounds (1,360), as well as tying the all-time single-season wins mark with 21 victories.
However, last season is now in the past and a new year is upon the Lady Bucs, and their opening test will not come easy. First, ETSU takes on co-regular season Missouri Valley Conference Champions,
ETSU was able to shake some rust off two weeks ago as they took on University of the Cumberlands in its lone exhibition contest. The Lady Bucs struggled in the opening 20 minutes of play, but ETSU came out focused in the second half to down the Patriots, 82-67, inside

For the first time since joining the Atlantic Sun Conference, the ETSU Lady Bucs were selected the league favorite in both the coaches and media polls � ETSU is also looking to become the first team since Georgia State (2001-03) to repeat as conference champions.
Calling all Seniors?
ETSU's rosters consists of four juniors, five sophomores and three freshmen, however, the Lady Bucs do not have a single senior on their team � the Lady Bucs are one of two team in the Atlantic Sun to not post at least one senior on their roster, with the other team being Florida Gulf Coast.
The Schedule of all Schedules
When fans look at ETSU's 2008-09 regular season slate they may be asking themselves what coach Kemp was thinking, as the Lady Bucs' schedule features seven teams who appeared in postseason play a year ago � ETSU hosts 12th-ranked and SEC favorite Vanderbilt, and travels to Evansville (WNIT participant), Chattanooga (NCAA participant), Georgia (NCAA participant), Kentucky (WNIT participant), Liberty (NCAA participant) and Florida Gulf Coast (WNIT participant) � of the Lady Bucs' eight non-conference opponents, six of them played in the postseason last year.

So, I have converted a few local hams to FlexRadio's over the past few years and just recently another local Ham made the leap and bought a Flex 3000. I helped him set it all up and get him on the air. He absolutely loves it. After configuring everything and getting his studio mic installed and the EQ settings at levels that made him sound like him, he asks…. "Where do I plug in my Pecker?". What!? He continued to explain to me about a little black box that he put inline with his microphone on his now disconnected TS-480. This box generates a SawTooth waveform and allows you to tune your amplifier with a 30% on 70% off duty cycle.
Instantly I thought that this thing was obsolete as you could do this with software. Surely someone had already created one. Google searches came up with nothing. Needless to say a couple of days later we had the G7EIX Pecker!
It performs the very same function that the www.3898pecker.com performs – just in software. So if you have a Flex and Virtual Audio Cables, or a Knobs and Switches Radio connected to an Audio Interface such as a SignaLink – then you are in luck. It works! Needs Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 (so as long as you keep your computer updated with all the latest and greatest from Microsoft – you are good to go).
35hz is the frequency that we measured the Hardware based Pecker producing, so that's the default. You can change it (even on the fly) as well as the Amplitude. This enables you to fine tune to your desired output.
PTT control is included. Select the COM PORT, select RTS or DTR (configured to match your radio settings) and then select the Audio Output device. Click PECK ME UP and off you go.
It is available right now: http://pecker.g7eix.com

A Battle for the President's Sole
The companies jostling for brand placement on Barack Obama's big day
Ira Boudway
Until 2009, every president since Ronald Reagan took the oath of office with his feet in a pair of Allen Edmonds shoes. The Wisconsin company tried hard to keep the streak going when Barack Obama was choosing his inaugural wardrobe. They sent the president-elect's valet two pairs of laceups: the classic black Park Avenue for the ceremony and a new model with a more squared-off toe, the Hyde Park, for the parties.
They were doubly disappointed. "I'm highly confident he wore Cole Haans," says Allen Edmonds Chief Executive Paul Grangaard, "which would not have been made in the United States." After glimpsing the interlopers on TV, the company sent a message to the valet, who told them there was still a chance Obama would change into their shoes for the inaugural balls.
Stiffed again. "I took the president's shoes off at 3 a.m.," Grangaard says the valet reported by e-mail the next morning. "I wish they had said 'Allen Edmonds' on the bottom, but I'm sorry they did not."
Grangaard took heart when Obama later appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in what looked like a pair of LaSalles or Delrays, two similar Allen Edmonds models. "It was maybe a little bit of wishful thinking on my part, but I think he was wearing them," says Grangaard. One clue: He'd learned about a month earlier that an Obama aide had bought both of those shoes at the company's store a few blocks from the White House.
Now, Grangaard is once again angling to revive his brand's status as shoemaker to the president. "We're hoping to get in touch with the valet and offer to send a new pair," he says. "It's a new day."
Hoping to Win Michelle's Hand
J.Crew's website crashed the day after the 2009 inauguration as people rushed to buy the green leather gloves worn by the new first lady.
Chuck Schumer Approves This Cheese
The New York senator is in charge of the inaugural luncheon — and he made sure the president will be seen enjoying a wide variety of delicacies from Schumer's home state, including wines, cheese, honey, and maple syrup. (A staffer stresses there'll also be South Dakota bison and Maine lobster.)
Obama's Crystal Bowl
Didn't get Obama a present? Lenox has you covered. For the seventh consecutive inauguration, the Pennsylvania crystal maker will grace the president and vice president with engraved glassware, which it calls "the official inaugural gifts from the American people."
Party Like It's Windows 95
The Obamas are expected to attend just two official balls — down from 10 in 2009. Those who don't score tickets can dance and drink the night away at less lofty affairs backed by corporate sponsors including Heineken, Microsoft, Pfizer, Bacardi, and Gibson Guitar.
What Rhymes With Inaugural?
When Obama named Richard Blanco the inaugural poet, his books jumped up Amazon.com's poetry bestseller list. His publisher rushed to print 3,000 copies of last year's Looking for The Gulf Motel. Original print run: 1,500.
American Bubbly
For the eighth straight inaugural, the president will be toasted with specially labeled bottles of Korbel's California sparkling wine.

Koloa, HI
I have a chance to go to Koloa on the island of Kauai next May. Has anybody kited there? Is there wind? Thaaaanks.
http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safa ... =0CIIBELYD
Re: Koloa, HI
I can't speak to the kiteability of the area (I just started kiting this year), but be certain to stop at The Fish Market in Koloa and grab some poki or a plate lunch. Both of which are some of the best on the island!
Re: Koloa, HI
I've kited Kawailoa Bay. It's just east of the Haytt in Poipu. Drive down the dirt roads into the park/preserve area and park when the road meets the bay. Walk out to the sandy point to launch and there is fun wave kiting off the point. Beware it is a shallow reef and can get heavy, so I would say this is a fairly advanced spot.
https://maps.google.com/maps?client=saf ... =0CIIBELYD
Re: Koloa, HI
Awesome, thanks eag.
Re: Koloa, HI
You'll probably have a car anyway, so don't rule out a little bit of driving. Normal trade winds will be coming from the other side of the island and may not make it the Poipu area. But Poipu and surrounding area (and Waimea canyons, etc.) are cool so check that out too. But if you get in the car and drive a bit you can start with "Baby Beach" near Lipoa, then Anini Beach, which is an awesome reef protected more or less flat water spot on a higher tide. Go through the reef to visit the outside blue water. Farther down on North shore, you can go just past Hanalei Bay and self launch at te beach area near Hanlei Bay Colony, and then just a tiny bit farther is Tunnels/y-Camp, be sure to ask locals for info first, be aware, humble., etc.
Re: Koloa, HI
Anybody know of any links to free wind predictive tools for Kauai? (e.g. Forecasts / Webcams, etc).
I will be spending a few days in Poi Pu before spending the rest of the weeklong trip near Hanalei. Planning to hit up Anini and Baby Beach --- avoiding Tunnels given my intermediate skills.
Re: Koloa, HI
If you are on the near hanalei, consider doing a downwinder from lumahai to tunnels. If the surf is small you should be fine. It's one of the nicest downwinders on the island.
[url]surfnewsnetwork.com[/url] should keep you up to date on wind, tides and surf.
I recommend the kayak trip down the napali coast too. That's pretty awesome.
Re: Koloa, HI
Heres a link to a previous discussion on that.
Mahalepu is about a 10 min drive from Koloa down a few dirt roads. Not that big of a deal driving on the dirt roads as long as you keep it below 20 to avoid the potholes.
Have fun.
Re: Koloa, HI
I kited Mahalepu for five straight days in January. As stated before, drive down the dirt road past the Hyatt and either park at Gillan House or continue down to the larger parking area about 1/2 mi further. In between the two is a point that is protected by a reef. Watch for beach goers and launch in this area then work outside to the west side of the reef for some waves. There were two locals kiting there who were very helpful.
Tunces - The driving cat!
Re: Koloa, HI
Thanks for all of the advice. Looks like I am going to have to watch the tides given alot of these spots have shallow reef. Also hadn't thought about kiting Mahalepu, but might as well if I can sneak away from family activities for 2 hrs.
For those of you that mentioned down-winders from Hanalei to Tunnels - did you arrange a shuttle back, or just drive a car down there?

Landmark Cases of the EU Courts and the European Commission

This book aims at providing the Legal Masters student throughout Europe's universities with a thorough selection of case law that would be of direct help when studying the subject for the first time. The primary criterion for selection has been whether a particular case has contributed to the development of one of the doctrines or notions that are so important to the understanding of EU competition law. All cases and decisions have been incorporated with their key recitals and texts only, so as to make the amount of text digestible in the context of an introductory course in EU competition law. Furthermore, for each case there is the mention of its relevance within the legal system and each case is accompanied with a short summary of its facts and circumstances. The sequence of cases follows the logic order in which EU competition law may or, in the author's view, should be taught. Wherever of practical use to the reader, cross-references are being made, be these of a general nature for a specific chapter as a whole or for a single specific case. These cross-references refer to relevant sources in EU secondary legislation and Commission Notices, to a selection of further cases on the same issue, to leading scholarly articles on the subject and to interesting annotations adding to the understanding of a particular case. In this way, the book offers the possibility for further study and reading to those who would find this necessary without burdening the students with extra and extensive obligatory reading material, which would go beyond the scope of their course format. As such the book also provides the young legal practitioner or in-house counsel with invaluable and time-saving background information in this important field of the law.All texts in this third edition are in conformity with the new Article numbering and the terminology as used in the Treaty of Lisbon.
About the author
Prof. Vogelaar is emeritus professor of Economic Regulation with emphasis on EU and Netherlands' competition law at the Law Faculty of the Universiteit van Amsterdam. After his retirement, he continues to be a research fellow at the Amsterdam Center for Law & Economics, ACLE, of that same University.
