This article describes what phishing is, how to determine phishing schemes, and best practices to avoid becoming a victim of online fraud.
For more information on staying safe online Visit the Microsoft Safety & Security Center.
What is phishing, or online fraud?
Phishing (pronounced: fishing) is an online-fraud technique that is used by criminals to lure you into disclosing your personal information, which then enables the thief to:
Apply for and get credit in your name.
Empty your bank account and charge expenses to the limit of your credit cards.
Remove money from your accounts.
Use a copy of your debit card to withdraw your money from anywhere in the world.
Warning signs
It's likely that fraud is being tried when you are asked to:
Provide personal information to an unknown source.
Verify your account information with the threat of suspending your account.
Sell an item with a promise of payment that is much more than the item is worth.
Make direct monetary donations.
Tip: Use credit cards when making purchases online. If the card gets compromised, it's usually easier to dispute fraudulent charges on credit cards than other payment methods.
More information about phishing-scheme characteristics
Unfortunately, as phishing attacks become more sophisticated, it is very difficult for the average person to tell whether an email message or website is fraudulent. That is why phishing schemes are so prevalent and successful for criminals. For example, many fake email messages and websites link to real company logos of well-known brands. Therefore, they look legitimate. The following are several things that you can do to help protect yourself:
Requests for personal information in an email message Most legitimate businesses have a policy that they do not ask you for your personal information through email. Be very suspicious of a message that asks for personal information even if it might look legitimate.
Urgent wording Wording in phishing email messages is usually polite and accommodating in tone. It usually tries to get you to respond to the message or to click the link that is included in the message. To increase the number of responses, people try to create a sense of urgency so that you immediately respond without thinking. Usually, spoofed email messages are not personalized, although valid messages from your bank or e-commerce company generally are personalized.
Attachments Many phishing schemes ask you to open attachments, which can then infect your computer with a virus or spyware. If spyware is downloaded to your computer, it can record the keystrokes that you use to log on to your personal online accounts. Any attachment that you want to view should be saved first, and then scanned with an up-to-date antivirus program before you open it. To help protect your computer, Outlook automatically blocks certain attachment file types that can spread viruses. If Outlook detects a suspicious message, attachments of any file type in the message are blocked.
Fake or suspicious links People who create phishing messages are so sophisticated in their ability to create misleading links that it is impossible for the average person to tell whether a link is legitimate. It is always best to type the web address that you know is correct into your browser. Also, you can save the correct web address in your browser Favorites. Do not copy and paste web addresses from messages into your browser. Security alerts appear in the following situations:
You have a document open and you click a link to a website that has an address that has a potentially spoofed domain name.
You open a file from a website that has an address that has a potentially spoofed domain name. A Security Notice appears. Read the notice and make the selections that you want.
You can then choose whether to continue to visit the website. In this situation, we recommend that you click No on the Security Notice. This functionality helps to protect against homograph attacks.
If the Junk Email Filter does not consider a message to be spam but does consider it to be phishing, the message is left in the Inbox, but any links in the message are disabled and you cannot use the Reply and Reply All functionality.
If the Junk Email Filter considers the message to be both spam and phishing, the message is automatically sent to the Junk Email folder. Any message sent to the Junk Email folder is converted to plain text format and all links are disabled. In addition, the Reply and Reply All functionality is disabled. The InfoBar alerts you to this change in functionality.
If you click a link that was disabled in a phishing message, an Outlook Security dialog box appears. Make the selection that you want.
Link masks Though the link that you are urged to click might contain all or part of a real company's name, the link can be "masked." This means that the link you see does not take you to that address but somewhere different, usually a spoofed website. Resting the pointer on the link in an Outlook message can reveal another numeric Internet address. This should make you suspicious. Keep in mind that even the link in the box with the yellow background can be spoofed to look like a trustworthy web address.
Homographs A homograph is a word with the same spelling as another word but with a different meaning. In computers, a homograph attack is a web address that looks like a familiar web address but is actually altered. The purpose of spoofed web links that are used in phishing schemes is to deceive you into clicking the link.
If you receive a warning tip, why did you receive one and what should you do?
If you're receiving a warning tip about phishing there is a potential phishing scheme taking place. There are many ways that this can occur, which are outlined below; Microsoft uses algorithms, scoring systems, and machine learning to detect signals and warn you when there is a chance of phishing. You can learn more about how to report messages below.
Tip: If you get this warning on email messages from a sender you trust, and you have confirmed the warnings are a false alarm, add the sender to your Safe Senders list in Outlook. See the next section for more information.
Messages from a trusted sender are being flagged as phishing. How do I mark them as safe?
If you trust the sender you can add them to Outlook's Safe Senders list.
Click Junk > Junk Email Options.
On the Junk Email Options dialog box choose Safe Senders.
Click Add and enter the email address or domain name.
Repeat for any additional addresses you want to add.
Click OK back out.
Messages from addresses on the Safe Senders list shouldn't be flagged as potential phishing messages.
Protect yourself from online fraud
Educate yourself Go to the Microsoft Safety & Security Center for information about how to protect your home computer with articles, information, and security programs.
Monitor your transactions Review your order confirmations and credit card and bank statements.
Use credit cards for transactions on the Internet In most locales, your personal liability is significantly limited.
More information about protecting yourself
Use the following best practices to avoid online fraud:
Never reply to email messages that request your personal information Be very suspicious of any email message from a business or person who asks for your personal information, or one that sends you personal information and asks you to update or confirm it. Instead, use the phone number from one of your statements to call the business. Do not call a number listed in the email message. Similarly, never volunteer any personal information to someone who places an unsolicited call to you.
Don't click links in suspicious emails Don't click a link in a suspicious message. The link might not be trustworthy. Instead, visit websites by typing their URL into your browser or by using your Favorites link. Do not copy and paste links from messages into your browser.
Don't send personal information in regular email messages Regular email messages are not encrypted and are like sending a post card. If you must use email messages for personal transactions, use Outlook to digitally sign and encrypt messages by using S/MIME security. MSN, Microsoft Hotmail, Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Office Outlook web Access, Lotus Notes, Netscape, and Eudora all support S/MIME security.
Do business only with companies that you know and trust Use well-known, established companies with a reputation for quality service. A business website should always have a privacy statement that specifically states that the business won't pass your name and information to other people.
Make sure the website uses encryption The web address should be preceded by https:// instead of the usual http:// in the browser's Address bar. Also, double-click the lock icon on your browser's status bar to display the digital certificates for the site. The name that follows Issued to in the certificate should match the site that you think you are on. If you suspect that a website is not what it should be, leave the site immediately and report it. Don't follow any of the instructions that it presents.
Monitor your transactions Review your order confirmations and credit-card and bank statements when you receive them to make sure that you are being charged only for transactions you made. Immediately report any irregularities in your accounts by dialing the number shown on your account statement. Using just one credit card for online purchases makes it easier to track your transactions.
Use credit cards for transactions on the Internet In most locales, your personal liability in case someone compromises your credit card is significantly limited. By contrast, if you use direct debit from your bank account or a debit card, your personal liability frequently is the full balance of your bank account. In addition, a credit card with a small credit limit is preferable for use on the Internet because it limits the amount of money that a thief can steal in case the card is compromised. Some major credit card issuers may offer customers the option of shopping online with virtual, single-use credit card numbers that expire within one or two months. If the service is available in your country or region, your bank can provide you with details about perishable virtual credit-card numbers.
How do I report online fraud and identity theft?
If you think that you received a fraudulent email message you can report the problem and attach the suspicious message. Reporting suspicious messages to authorities helps combat identity theft.
Forward an email as an attachment in Outlook 2016, Outlook 2013, or Outlook 2010
Select, but don't open the message that you want to report.
On the Home tab, in the Respond group, click More.
Select Forward as Attachment.
In the To line, type the email address of the company or organization to whom you are reporting the suspicious message.
Click Send.
Forward an email as an attachment in Windows Mail
Select, but don't open the message that you want to report.
On the Message menu, click Forward as Attachment.
In the To line, type the email address of the company or organization to whom you are reporting the suspicious message.
Click Send.

World News - Senators Skeptical of Tribunal Plans
The Bush administration's initial proposal to prosecute suspected terrorists drew continued skepticism Wednesday from lawmakers, with a key GOP senator contending that Congress must be given more authority to determine tribunal procedures. Steven Bradbury, the top legal adviser at the Justice Department, told the Senate Judiciary Committee that the administration's legal proposal was still under review but did not say when it would be finished. Judiciary Chairman Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said he would oppose any legislation that would authorize the defense secretary to deion's proposed bill. Bradbury confirmed the administration was considering granting the defense secretary such authority but added: ``I would not say that the secretary of defense would be creating new crimes from whole cloth, but rather ... recognizing offenses that exist under the laws of war and providing for their prosecution in the military process.'' ...

Fierce fighting in S Philippines
The Philippine military says five members of the Muslim group the Abu Sayyaf have been killed in fierce fighting in the south of the country. Rockets have been fired and bombs dropped on a base of suspected members of the Abu Sayyaf on Jolo island. The army says five soldiers were wounded and a civilian guide was killed in the clashes, which started on Tuesday. The casualties cannot be independently confirmed. Heavy fighting broke out on Jolo after soldiers caught up with militants fleeing the air strikes on their camp. The Philippines is trying to stop Abu Sayyaf and members of Jemaah Islamiah, a regional network with alleged links to al-Qaeda, from using Jolo as a base to train militants and plot bomb attacks. ...

It's like watching two different wars. The US and British media's wildly divergent takes on the Middle East's latest crisis serve to further deepen entrenched points of view.
The US and European media have always covered the Middle East from different perspectives, but flying back to Washington from a stay in London at the height of the Lebanese conflict made it clear to me how wide the gulf has become. Britons and Americans are watching two different wars.The overwhelming emphasis of television and press coverage in the UK was the civilian casualties in Lebanon. Day after day, those were the "splash" stories. The smaller number of civilian casualties from Hizbullah rockets in northern Israel was also covered but rarely made the top headlines or front pages. Back in DC, watching Lebanon through American camera lenses, the centre of the action seemed to be Haifa. CNN, for example, sent two of its top anchors, Miles O'Brien and Wolf Blitzer, to the Israeli port city. Much of the morning news was devoted to showing O'Brien scurrying in and out of shelters when the air raid sirens sounded. Another correspondent was sent on patrol with a ...

Mexico election protesters dig in
Mexico City has suffered a second day of traffic chaos as supporters of the left-wing candidate in the country's disputed election block a key street. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador toured protest camps on Tuesday, after sleeping out with supporters who want votes in the 2 July poll recounted. His rival, Felipe Calderon, accused him of taking the city hostage as commuters battled through congested streets. Mr Lopez Obrador alleges vote counts in the poll were rigged. Official results gave victory to the conservative Mr Calderon by half a percentage point. EU monitors have said they found no irregularities. ...

Coach Awarded $2.2 Million After Being Fired for Paying Recruit
Ohio State must pay former basketball coach Jim O'Brien about $2.2 million plus interest for firing him for giving a recruit $6,000. The award by a judge in the Ohio Court of Claims on Wednesday ends two years of controversy at Ohio State, which received NCAA sanctions for the money given to the recruit.The 56-year-old O'Brien, who coached the Buckeyes for seven years, guided them to the Final Four in 1999. He was fired in June of 2004 after revealing to then-athletic director Andy Geiger that he had given the money to Serbian prospect Aleksandar Radojevic. He had sought $3.6 million in his lawsuit....

Brady kids return to Kings Island
The kids from "The Brady Bunch" are coming back to Kings Island. Some of them, at least.
Three of the actors who played the Brady kids in the iconic 1970s TV series are returning to the Cincinnati-area theme park – the site of one of the show's most memorable episodes that aired in 1973.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the episode, Barry Williams (Greg Brady), Christopher Knight (Peter Brady) and Susan Olsen (Cindy Brady) will visit Kings Island Sunday, May 19. They will perform in four shows of singing, dancing and Brady Bunch anecdotes. Williams, Knight and Olsen will be available to meet fans, sign autographs and pose for photographs after each show.
They'll entertain park guests during four shows of singing, dancing and anecdotes about the show, which ran from 1969 to 1974.
The episode involved the family visiting Kings Island so dad Mike Brady can present his architectural plans for a new addition to the park.

|Who or what is Permuster?

Roger read the text message received by his toot and tried, again, not to smile. They must be having gibbering fits at the command post.
"To an extent, I agree," Roger said carefully. "And I'm sure—" actually, he was positive "—that my advisor on such things, Ms. O'Casey, also agrees."
"She does," From said. "Eleanora and I have had long discussions about the local political situation and your human political history. Our conversations and the points she raised were what convinced us to arrange this meeting. They gave us hope that you would . . . assist us in this endeavor."
* * *
Pahner's head turned like a tracking tank turret. His eyes nailed the chief of staff, who shrugged and held her hands out, palms up.
"How was I to know?" she asked.
"You didn't happen to give them a copy of Machiavelli or Permuster while you were about it, did you?" the Marine growled.
OK, I've tried to research Permuster and have come up empty. Machiavelli is easily recognizable enough, but I've tried looking up Permuster (with various permutations of spelling, ha) with no luck.
Does anyone know of an earthly political philosopher by this name, or should I chalk it up to authorial license?

I tried googleing it last time I read the series, with no luck. I more or less gave up and just kind of assumed that he was somebody from the Dagger Years, who expanded on Machiavelli.
I'm the Dude...you know, that or His Dudeness, or Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Remember that this takes place hundreds of years into our future so Permuster then is presumably a Machiavellian like character from the future.

Ever had a White screen of Darn (WSOD) in Visual Studio or an error like this: "exception of type system.componentmodel.design.exceptioncollection was thrown" ?
If the [Clean Solution] and [Rebuild Solution] didn't work.
Here is how to find the culprit:
- Open Visual Studio 2010 and open/load your solution containing the problem
- Open a second Visual Studio 2010 instance
In the second VS2010 instance do the following things:
- Go to [Tools] > [Attach to Process…]
- Select devenv.exe with which contains the solution with the problem from the Available Processes and click OK
- Next go to [Debug] > [Exceptions…]
- Check [Common Language Runtime Exceptions] in the [Thrown] column
Now go to your first Visual Studio 2010 instance with your project and open the designer file which causes you the PITA (Pain In The Ass).
Your second VS2010 instance should break on the exception, showing you where it goes wrong in your code.
Enjoy 😉

J.B. Van Hollen announces he will not seek third term as Attorney General
Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced Monday that he will not seek reelection in 2014.
Van Hollen was elected in 2006 and won a reelection bid in 2010.
His statement reads as follows:
Today I wish to share with you my decision not to seek a third term as Attorney General and to thank you for the confidence you have placed in me.
When I chose to stand for this office eight years ago, I had a clear vision of what an Attorney General should do, and as importantly, should not do. Simply put, I believed Wisconsin needed an Attorney General who would fight crime and restore integrity.
Your votes in 2006 and 2010 provided me the opportunity of instituting this vision. I have kept faith with my promises.
During my administration, we have put public safety first. We eliminated the DNA backlog at the state crime laboratories and expanded our efforts and ability to fight crimes against children. We upheld our commitment to assist local law enforcement, through training, investigative assistance, and advocacy. We supported crime victims by restructuring victim services funding to improve long term stability and expanding outreach. We launched the statewide criminal justice coordinating council and merged the Office of Justice Assistance's law enforcement support programs into the Department of Justice, allowing the state to more efficiently and effectively support local law enforcement and create the infrastructure to develop data and information driven approaches to criminal justice problems.
We have restored integrity in multiple ways. We have put the law and the rule of law above politics, thus eliminating the all-too-common Attorney General activism that grows government and contributes to political discord and dysfunction. Legal opinions of the Attorney General became just that: legal opinions, not my personal opinions. We have vigorously enforced and defended laws, whether those laws were supported by Republicans, Democrats, or both. We also upheld integrity by emphasizing fiscal responsibility. We achieved record recoveries in our Medicaid Fraud Control and Elder Abuse Unit and I voluntarily returned Department funds to the public treasury.
By putting public safety first, I believe the Department of Justice now enjoys healthy partnerships with local law enforcement and prosecutors, which leads to the better investigation, prosecution, and hopefully prevention of crime. By focusing on public safety and putting my duties above politics, I have enjoyed the confidence of two governors and productive relationships with each of the four Legislatures, whatever their varied political compositions. Because they recognized the Department acted with fiscal responsibility and integrity, they trusted the Department to effectively and efficiently implement expanded programs, like DNA forensics, and new initiatives, like the concealed carry permitting program. Without their support and law enforcement's support, many of my administration's accomplishments would have been difficult if not impossible to attain.
I am proud of these accomplishments and I remain deeply committed to the Department of Justice's mission and continuing our successes throughout the remainder of my term. The decision not to run will allow me to focus exclusively on the remaining tasks without the distractions of a campaign. I believe no person should be Attorney General for life, or for too long. Our democracy requires a balance of experience and fresh views. For my family, for me, and this office, it's time to give Wisconsin voters new choices.
It is a privilege and an honor to serve the people of Wisconsin. Thank you for placing your trust in me. I look forward to serving as your Attorney General for the next 15 months.

You checked only what you are trying to defend. What you didn't check was what I have been saying. If you looked further into wikipedia then you would have found the following page on consonants which only further refutes your statements. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consonant.Wikipedia has sound samples. I checked them. Those are what 'y' and 'w' represent in English orthography.
It states that the consonant "y" is represented by the [j] in the alphabet you have been trying to use and is a consonant.
In fact what you have been looking at is not the english alphabet but can be used to sound out just about any language. Or in other words this is not the alphabet you would use to spell with.
Spelling bee example.
Speaker: Spell international.
Speller: International, ɪ ɾ̃ ɚ n æ ʃ ɨ n ə ɫ, international.
Speaker: Are you ok? Do we need a doctor? Quick I think he's hemorrhaging!
For those of you just joining us the part in the middle is the alphabet Atarlost has been referring to.
edit: Sorry for the extreme sarcasm but it seemed necessary.
edit2: the above spelling is only one of a nearly infinite number of ways to spell international depending on dialect and location of the person speaking, all of which would be correct. Even two people who live in the same house and grew up together might say it slightly different thus changing the spelling.

Heart surgery for children
Alternative names
Patent ductus arteriosus ligation; Hypoplastic left heart repair; Tetralogy of Fallot repair; Coarctation of the aorta repair; Congenital heart defect corrective surgery; Atrial septal defect repair; Ventricular septal defect repair; Truncus arteriosus repair; Total anomalous pulmonary artery correction; Transposition of great vessels repair; Tricuspid atresia repair; VSD repair; ASD repair; PDA ligation
Surgery to correct or treat birth defects of the heart (congenital heart disease) is required if the defects threaten the child's well-being or life.
Heart defects come in all types, from minor to major. Defects can occur inside the heart or in the large blood vessels outside the heart. The heart defect may need immediate surgery or may be able to safely wait for months or years. In most cases, the timing of the surgery will depend on how sick the baby is.
The heart defect may be repaired in a single surgical procedure or may require a series of procedures. Surgery may involve opening the heart to repair defects or repairing defects of the blood vessels.
An incision may be made through the breastbone (sternum) and between the lungs (mediastinum) while the child is under general anesthesia. For some heart defect repairs, the incision is made on the side of the chest, between the ribs (thoracotomy) instead of through the breastbone (sternotomy).
It is sometimes necessary to use tubes to re-route the blood through a special pump (heart-lung bypass machine) that adds oxygen to the blood and keeps it warm and moving through the rest of the body while the repair is being done. This machine does the work of the heart and lungs during the operation.
Heart surgery for children requires a specialized team of health care providers:
- Pediatric heart (cardiovascular) surgeons
- Pediatric anesthesiologists
- Pediatric heart-lung (cardiopulmonary) bypass pump technologists
- Pediatric surgical nurses and technicians
- Pediatric intensive care physicians and nurses
Heart surgery requires intensive and extensive monitoring, treatment and coordination by the entire team. Heart surgery for children may take as many as 12 hours in the operating room.
After heart surgery, the child will be moved to the intensive care unit (ICU) to be constantly and closely monitored and treated for several days. During this time the child will have the following:
- A tube in the airway (endotracheal tube) and a respirator to help with breathing. The child will be kept sleeping (sedated) while on the respirator.
- One or more small tubes in a vein (IV line) to give fluids and medications.
- A small tube in an artery (arterial line) to measure the blood pressure.
- One or two chest tubes to drain air, blood, and fluid from the chest cavity.
- A tube through the nose into the stomach (nasogastric tube) to empty the stomach and give medications and/or feedings for several days.
- A tube in the bladder to drain and measure the urine for several days.
The child may also have pacemaker wires in the chest in case a pacemaker is needed to regulate heartbeat and rhythm.
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation
- Before birth, there is a natural opening between the aorta (the main artery to the body) and the pulmonary artery (the main artery to the lungs) called the ductus arteriosus. This opening usually closes shortly after birth. PDA occurs when this opening fails to close; PDA occurs in about 10% of infants.
- PDA is often treated initially with a medication called indomethacin. If the ductus fails to close on its own or with indomethacin, surgery is performed. A small incision is made on the left side of the chest. The ductus is either ligated (tied off) or cut.
Coarctation of the aorta repair
- Coarctation of the aorta occurs when a segment of the aorta has a very narrow spot, like that in an hourglass. To repair this defect, an incision is made on the left side of the chest.
- There are a few different techniques used in this repair. One approach is to remove the narrowed segment of the aorta and stitch the remaining ends together. This can usually be done in older children due to the size of the aorta.
- Repair in infants is usually achieved by using a subclavian flap. An incision is made in the narrowed portion of the aorta. A patch is made from a portion of the left subclavian artery (the artery to the arm) to enlarge the diameter of the aorta.
Atrial septal defect (ASD) repair
- The atrial septum is the wall between the left and right atria (upper chambers) of the heart. There is a natural opening prior to birth that usually closes spontaneously. When the defect fails to close, a child is left with an ASD.
- ASDs may possibly be closed in the heart catheterization lab with two small umbrella-shaped "clamshell" devices placed on both the right and left side of the septum. The two devices are attached together, closing the hole in the heart. This procedure is still in the experimental phase, and is performed only in select centers.
- Surgical repair is a well-accepted treatment for ASD. The septum is closed using sutures or covered with a patch made of membrane or synthetic material.
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair
- The ventricular septum is the wall between the left and right ventricles (lower chambers) of the heart. A hole in the ventricular septum is called a VSD.
- Small defects usually close on their own - 90% by age 8 - and do not require surgery. Larger defects or those causing heart failure require surgical repair with a synthetic patch.
Tetralogy of Fallot repair
- Tetralogy of Fallot is a complex congenital heart defect with a range of severity that requires surgical correction, typically between 6 months and 2 years of age.
- Types of repairs vary related to the specific defects. The Ventricular septal defect is closed as described above. The pulmonary valve is opened and the thickened muscle (stenosis) is removed. A patch may be placed on the right ventricle to improve circulation to the lungs.
Transposition of the great vessels repair
- The aorta normally comes from the left side of the heart, and the pulmonary artery normally comes from the right side. Transposition of the great vessels occurs when these arteries come from the opposite sides of the heart from where they should.
- Transposition of the great vessels requires surgical correction. If possible, this surgery is performed shortly after birth. The most common repair is an arterial switch. The aorta and pulmonary artery are divided. The pulmonary artery is connected to the right ventricle, where it belongs, and the aorta is connected to the left ventricle, where it belongs.
Truncus arteriosus repair
- Truncus arteriosus is a rare condition that occurs when the aorta and the pulmonary aretery arise from one common trunk. This very complex defect requires a complex surgical repair.
- If the baby is very sick, the repair is done in the first few months of life. If the baby is not so sick, surgeons wait to operate until the baby is between 9 and 15 months of age.
- The pulmonary arteries are separated from the aortic trunk and any defects are patched. There is always an associated VSD, which is patched. A conduit is then placed between the right ventricle and the pulmonary arteries.
Tricuspid atresia repair
- Tricuspid atresia is a condition in which the tricuspid valve (the valve between the upper and lower chambers on the right side of the heart) is severely narrowed. This condition severely restricts blood flow from the right side of the heart to the lungs.
- Other defects may exist with tricuspid atresia and can aid in the oxygenation of blood and flow to the lungs. A medication called prostaglandin E may be given to maintain a patent ductus arteriosus as an alternate channel to the lungs until corrective surgery can be performed.
- A series of shunts and surgeries may be necessary to correct this defect. The goal of this surgery is to join the right atrium or occasionally the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery.
Total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) correction
- TAPVR is a condition in which the pulmonary veins bring oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the right side of the heart, rather than to the left side of the heart, where it should be.
- This condition requires surgical correction, the timing of which depends on how sick the baby is. The surgery may be done in the newborn period if the infant has severe symptoms. If not done immediately, it is done in the first six months of life.
- TAPVR repair is an open-heart procedure. The pulmonary veins are attached to the left atrium, where they belong, and any abnormal connections are closed.
- If a PDA is present, it is tied off.
Hypoplastic left heart repair
- This is a very severe heart defect that results from a severely underdeveloped heart, and causes death in most affected babies. Only a few cardiac centers have reported any success in treating this defect, but results are slowly getting better with surgical advances. Therefore, parents must decide how aggressively they want the medical team to treat their child, knowing the chances of a good outcome are low.
- The best reported results are with a series of 3 heart operations. The first operation is done in the first week of life: a complicated surgery in which a single vessel is formed from the pulmonary artery and aorta to create a blood supply to the lungs and the body.
- At about 4-6 months of age, the second operation is performed. A third operation is required a year later.
- A heart transplant may be performed to treat this condition, but donor hearts for infants are rare and the procedure can only be performed at a small number of centers.
The type and timing of surgical repair depends on the child's condition and the type and severity of heart defects.
In general, symptoms that indicate that surgery is needed include the following:
- Blue or gray skin, lips, and nail beds (cyanosis), meaning there is not enough oxygen in the blood (hypoxia)
- Difficulty breathing because the lungs are "wet," congested, or fluid-filled (congestive heart failure)
- Problems with heart rate or rhythm (arrhythmias)
- Excessive workload on heart that interferes with breathing, feeding, or sleeping
Risks for any anesthesia include the following:
- Reactions to medications
- Problems breathing
Risks for any surgery include the following:
- Bleeding
- Infection
Additional risks of heart surgery include the following:
- Blood clots (thrombi)
- Air bubbles (air emboli)
- Pneumonia
- Heartbeat problems (arrhythmias)
Expectations after surgery
The outcome of heart surgery depends on the child's condition, the type of defect, and the type of surgery. Many children recover completely and lead normal, active lives.
Most children need to stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for 3 to 7 days and then stay in the hospital for 5 to 14 days. By the time the child is transferred out of the ICU, most of the tubes and wires have been removed and the child is encouraged to resume many of his daily activities.
At the time of discharge, parents are instructed on activity, how to care for the incision, and how to give medications their child may need.
The child needs at least several more weeks at home to recover.

Kanye West Lawsuit Dismissed Thanks to Nietzsche and Basically Every Pop Song Ever
A ridiculous person named Vincent Peters sued Kanye West in 2010, alleging West had stolen a song Peters had sent the rapper in 2006. The overlap in question came in the chorus of Kanye West's "Stronger," which starts, "N-n-now that that don't kill me / Can only make me stronger."
Peters did not come up with these words or the sentiment, however; Friedrich Nietzsche did. In Twilight of the Idols, he wrote, "From life's school of war: what does not kill me makes me stronger." Suing someone for invoking words that have come to be so present in our discourse that they're at cliche status is like filing copyright infringement over the color blue or launching a war against plants for stealing our carbon dioxide. Real weak case.
The first judge saw it that way and dismissed the suit. Peters filed an appeal from the rock he's living under and last week, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals shot him down, affirming the dismissal of the case. Judge Diane Wood's opinion reads:
Nietzsche's phrase "what does not kill me, makes me stronger" comes from Twilight of the Idols (1888). Although the fact that both songs quote from a 19th century German philosopher might, at first blush, seem to be an unusual coincidence, West correctly notes that the aphorism has been repeatedly invoked in song lyrics over the past century. Notably, an even more recent popular song-one that held the top spot in the Billboard Hot 100 chart at about the same time as oral argument in this case-also shares this key feature with both West's and Vince P's songs.
Wood was referring to Kelly Clarkson's "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)." That's one of 30 songs referencing Nietzsche's words in Jason Newman's What Doesn't Kill Me Makes Me Stronger" Pop Song Supercut for Slacktory last year. There's strength in these numbers.

The World Cup may be over, but the people in various communities in Africa won't stop playing soccer. This sport is an integral part of the daily lives of people in African villages. Atopia Research, a charitable design company, has taken this fact and created a concept that is very much needed in that part of the world: a soccer field that doubles as a rainwater catchment system.
How does it work? It's simple. The idea is based on the fact that Africa gets plenty of rainfall but only during certain times of the year. The rain falls and the field acts as a catchment surface where the water collects and is drained through a semi-permeable membrane. Some of this water flows through an irrigation system and is used to water plants and eventually harvest crops, while the rest flows into a storage tank and is then filtered for drinking, cooking and bathing. The system can provide 1,000 people with water for a year and is built, using local, sustainable resources and materials to minimize cost and maximize impact.
This project, known as "PITCH: AFRICA" (which means "soccer field" outside of the U.S.), resembles the group of projects implemented by WASH United, a coalition of organizations, agencies, governments and football players from around the world whose mission is to promote clean water, sanitation and hygiene for people in the developing world (especially Africa). Both charities work by using something that is already integrated in African communities – a passion for soccer – to introduce a not-so-available, yet much needed resource – clean water – thereby naturally integrating this resource into their daily lives… a strategy that, in my opinion, has the potential to be highly effective..

I never thought the day would come when I would find reason to quote - or at least paraphrase - Donald Rumsfeld, but believe it or not, today is that day. Because as confusing as the former U.S. Secretary of Defense might have seemed, he actually perfectly summed up this week's topic regarding a category of illustrators who did work for Robert C. Atherton at Cosmopolitan magazine in the early 50's.
You see, there are known knowns; these are illustrators we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some illustrators we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the illustrators we don't know we don't know.
And I would add yet another nuance to Secretary Rumsfeld's apt description: there are also unknown knowns... those illustrators we don't know we know.
Confused? Don't worry, by the end of the week it'll all make sense. Let's begin...

2 million Twitter users
On January 6, 2008 I predicted that Twitter would reach 1 million users before April 1, 2008. The source for the number of Twitter users was (and still is) Twitdir. Twitdir finally reported 1 million Twitter users by the end of April. Twitdir announced that their was a flaw in their algorithm to count Twitter users, so the algorithm was changed. The backlog of Twitter users to be detected was caught up several weeks later. Yesterday evening I noticed that Twitdir reported just below 2 million Twitter users. Today the number reported exceeded 2 million.
The oldest Twitter accounts still active were created on March 21, 2006. It took Twitter over 550 days to get to 500,000 users (around the first half of October 2007). 150 days later (around mid March 2008), there were 1 million Twitter users. 50 days later (beginning of May 2008) there were already 1.5 million Twitter users. Another 50 days later Twitter had over 2 million Twitter users (end of June 2008). All these figures are based on the number of users reported by Twitdir.
The question of course is the reliability of the Twitdir figures. I performed a little test. Both Twitter and Twitdir offer the possibility to execute a location based search, returning both the number of Twitter users for a given location. I looked up the number of Twitter users reported by both sources for several locations.
For the 9 search arguments shown above, the number of Twitter users found by Twitdir is 20% to 30% lower than the number found by Twitter itself. It is likely that the number of Twitter reported by Twitter is also an underestmation of the real number. It is possible that there could be at this moment already over 2.5 million Twitter users. Who is capable of providing more insight on this issue ?

49th NZDRA Nationals
Masterton, March 18-19, 2017. The 49th NZDRA Nationals at Masterton Motorplex featured everything from Junior Dragsters to Top Alcohol rails, and even a jet car. There were also plenty of bikes; 22 in the Modified class alone. Oh and that jet car? It's not just for looks and bursting eardrums. Pilot Stephen Zahrodny flicked on the afterburner and made three sub-seven-second runs...

if i could just get that ff3 umd (assuming it's localized) i would be happy.
Quote from: beLIEve? on August 31, 2012, 11:24:21 AMif i could just get that ff3 umd (assuming it's localized) i would be happy.You're welcome.Yes it's the JP version, but reports say it has an English language option. Given the state of the PSP market over here I doubt S-E will ever release it here but since the game was already translated I guess they figured why not include the English script and make some importers happy.
"No comment" is usually "a thing", right?
So is anyone playing Final Fantasy Demensions? It's amazingly not that bad! Expensive...but not that bad!

February 2015 by Frances Flower, PhD
Audience: Executive Leadership, Public, Shelter/Rescue Staff & Volunteers
Video Length: 41 minutes
Learn how to create a sustainable rescue program that relies solely on volunteers to assess cats on the euthanasia list and save the most lives it can that are out of other options for a live outcome. Frances Flower has a PhD in Animal Science and has been on the rescue team since Austin Pets's Alive's cat program began in 2009. She will share how to start an evaluation and rescue program and how to keep it going as well as how to get the most information out of your time with the cats at risk. Presented by Dr. Frances Flower, this program was part of the American Pets Alive! 2015 No-Kill Conference.
About Frances Flower, PhD
Frances Flower has volunteered on the APA! Cat Rescue Team for the last seven years- evaluating and helping save cats at the city shelter on the euthanasia list. She works with a very small team of dedicated volunteers to be the voice for cats and kittens that end up on that list. Frances has also been an APA! foster (adopting two snuggly senior kitties - Rocky and Charlie), developed the cat foster mentor program and she now trains new cat evaluators for the Rescue Team.
Frances - a native Brit - followed her passion for animals by interning in the States, then studying in the UK and Canada. After receiving her Doctorate in Animal Welfare from UBC, Vancouver she moved to Austin in 2006. She now manages the day-to-day running of Whole Foods Market Farm Animal Welfare program, working with more than 2600 farmers and ranchers in North America.

App Turns Smart Phone into Key
Today lots of office doors open with smart cards, not keys. Just wave your ID, and "open sesame." Now you can do that with some smart phones, using an app called ShareKey. It's based on Near Field Communication, or NFC—a way to send data wirelessly over short distances. Many Android phones already have NFC chips built in.
Here's how ShareKey works. After installing the app, you register with a central server. In a hotel, that would be run by the front desk. They'd verify your smart phone as an authorized guest, and send you an encrypted key—valid only for the length of your stay. Then, wave your phone over your room's lock. In just half a second, the lock verifies the key's authenticity and that the key is stored on your phone, not a thief's.
Want to let a friend in? Ask the app to issue a new key linked to your friend's phone—and just text or e-mail it. The researchers are presenting ShareKey in March at the CeBIT trade fair in Germany. [Alexandra Dmitrienko et al., SmartTokens: Delegable Access Control with NFC-enabled Smartphones]
Researchers say ShareKey could be used for offices, homes or Zipcar. Just make sure to keep your phone under lock and key.
