My iPhone's turning me into a digital media junkie. Not because of the cutting edge apps, music, or media-but because it's made me a podcast addict. I listen to podcasts everywhere (the gym, during lunch breaks, on the metro to drown out noisy passengers, driving, at the grocery store…you get the idea).
The best way to explain podcasts is that they're like radio programs on demand that can be streamed or downloaded on computers or mobile devices. There are video podcasts but the majority take the form of a simple audio recording. If the thought of listening to people talk seems boring with innovations like streaming media and ebooks duking it out for our attention, think again. By devouring podcasts I've learned to watch out for exploding lakes (Stuff You Should Know), been moved to tears by everyday people giving their oral histories (NPR StoryCorps), literally lol-ed at the outlandish advice doled out on a comical advice show (My Brother, My Brother, and Me), gotten guaranteed strategies at being the life of any dinner party (APM: Dinner Party Download), heard Nora Ephron talk about her career and forgetting (The Free Library Podcast), and of course been captivated by the king of podcasts (This American Life).
It's so easy to learn from or just enjoy podcasts. Since most of them don't require you to actively look at your device you can go through them virtually anywhere while you're multitasking (confession: I'm chuckling to a Superman parody on Superego while I write this). I was actually listening to a podcast at the grocery store when I first realized that if I was podcast addict then maybe other librarians would like them too.
I met with some DC/SLA members to try to work out just how we could develop a podcast series for the chapter. The consensus was to establish a series that provided audio coverage from our professional development events so all our members could benefit from the event even if they couldn't attend it live.
The chapter had launched a DC/SLA YouTube channel last year that did just that, but with video content. We ran into a few of problems right away though. The biggest problem was recruiting a volunteer with a digital video recorder to attend events. Then given the average size of video files we had to figure out how to send the video to our YouTube volunteer without relying on email. Another annoying quirk was that YouTube limits clips to 10 minutes or less. Since most of our events are over an hour our YouTube volunteer had to watch the entire video and try to find appropriate stopping points to break the video into shorter clips.
Watching our videos on YouTube wasn't very convenient for our members either. Trying to watch our segments was confusing since YouTube didn't reliably display them in chronological order. Also at the time YouTube was only allowing users to stream video and that required an active high speed internet connection to watch. That really limited how many people could view the videos on the go with their mobile devices.
We were hopeful that a podcast series would overcome our YouTube channel's shortcomings. The barrier to entry was surprisingly low. We purchased a digital audio recorder and a noise canceling microphone for less than $100. The audio recorder and microphone are small enough to fit in someone's pocket so transporting them to events has been easy. DC/SLA President-Elect, Lois Ireland, has done a fantastic job of getting them to our events and setting them up to get the best sound quality possible.
One small snag we encountered was how to send the audio file to each other for editing after recording. The file size is way too large (although much smaller than a video file) for emailing and it wouldn't be convenient for Lois and me to frequently hand off the audio recorder to each other. Fortunately Lois had the great idea of uploading the file to the chapter wiki so I could just download it from online.
Another minor problem was that recorder's default output file is a WMA file type that's incompatible with GarageBand on my Mac at home. This was a pretty easy fix too though; I spent $10 and downloaded EasyWMA from the Mac App Store. This app quickly converts the WMA file into an MP3 file that I can edit with GarageBand.
Once I have the file in a MP3 format I open up GarageBand and get to work. Since for branding purposes we decided to call the series DC/SLA Radio and one of the goals of the podcast is to drive people to our website, I add a brief intro that mentions the series' name and our website URL. I also add a closing statement at the end of the podcast directing people to our website for more information about the DC/SLA and our events. Finally I bookend the opening and closing statement with a short jazz jingle just to give the podcast a theme.
After I think everything sounds good I upload the episode to the chapter wiki and tell our technology guru DC/SLA's Past-President, James King, that it's ready to go live. James designed a webpage from scratch to host DC/SLA Radio and adds each new episode to it.
We thought loading the series into software like the iTunes Store or the Zune Marketplace would be an extra convenience for the our listeners; they could subscribe to our podcast series once and then each new episode would automatically be pushed to them each time they opened the software. Then they could listen to it from their computer or even synch it automatically with some mobile device to listen to on the go. Unfortunately both platforms require the files be hosted on an XML feed and won't let us upload each file or submit each file's URL to them. Our current website doesn't have the XML feed capability so we haven't been able to load the series into either platform yet-but James and I are already working on a way to get this loaded into them in the near future. In the meantime after James uploads the episode to our webpage I send an email announcement to DC/SLA list serve as well as to several other library lists so that people know it's there and ready for listening. Our audience can then go the page and stream the episode online or download it to their computer or mobile device.
We announced DC/SLA Radio at the end of March and in three days had almost 300 hits. In one month DC/SLA Radio had over twice as many hits as our YouTube channel did in over a year! We had librarians in other countries congratulating us on its launch. I have to admit I was pretty surprised with the enthusiastic response. But then again perhaps it's not really that surprising, librarians tend to be information junkies and podcasts are a great way to get your fix.

A Gadsden man was arrested after confessing to having forced sexual contact with a juvenile, beginning when the victim was just 10 years old, according to Gadsden police.
Marty Montae Lee, 33, is charged with first-degree sodomy and first-degree sexual abuse, He was booked into the Etowah County Detention Center and is being held on a $50,000 bond on each charge.
The investigation began in February with an interview of the victim at the James M. Barrie Center, where the child gave details of the crime.
Gadsden Police Detective Wayne Hammonds said the abuse was reported by staff at Gadsden City High School, where the victim is a student.
"The teacher noticed that she just wasn't acting the same that day, that there was something bothering her, and the teacher approached her and asked he if she was OK," he said. "And she revealed to the teacher what had happened the night before."
Hammonds said the teacher contacted the school guidance counselor, who brought in the school resource officer. Hammonds said the resource officer talked to the girl, then reported to him.
School employees, law enforcement officers, state employees, medical personnel and ministers are mandatory reporters, who are required by state law to report known or suspected child abuse or neglect to law enforcement.
Hammonds in a news release said Lee confessed after the facts of the investigation were presented to him.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — Banks and resources firms led U.K. stocks to sharp losses on Tuesday, as political paralysis in Italy after its general elections fueled fears of renewed instability in Europe.
The FTSE 100 index /quotes/zigman/3173262 UK:UKX -0.49% lost 1.3% to settle at 6,270.44.
BP oil-spill trial begins
BP begins a high-stakes trial in federal court, Zynga shares are up on the news that New Jersey is moving toward legalizing online gambling in Atlantic City casinos and a study shows health benefits for the Mediterranean diet.
Tuesday's losses tracked negative risk sentiment across global markets on the back of parliamentary elections in Italy.
The results were inconclusive with no party or alliance winning enough seats for a majority in the Senate. Both houses are needed to pass legislation, with the results fueling worries a new government would struggle to implement structural reforms. See: 'Ungovernable' Italy: Debt crisis back on table.
Risk-sensitive sectors such as banks and resources firms posted the biggest losses. Barclays PLC /quotes/zigman/301787 UK:BARC +0.35% /quotes/zigman/152323/quotes/nls/bcs BCS +1.13% dropped 4.7%, Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC /quotes/zigman/10330253 UK:RBS -0.84% /quotes/zigman/530544/quotes/nls/rbs RBS +2.01% lost 4.3% and Lloyds Banking Group PLC /quotes/zigman/126322 UK:LLOY -0.69% /quotes/zigman/255656/quotes/nls/lyg LYG +1.82% fell 3.3%.

Among oil firms, Royal Dutch Shell PLC /quotes/zigman/359955 UK:RDSB -0.18% /quotes/zigman/379012/quotes/nls/rds.b RDS.B +0.06% fell 1% and BG Group PLC /quotes/zigman/249967 UK:BG -1.17% shed 1.9%. Oil prices were also lower. See: Oil falls amid Italy uncertainty, rising dollar
BP PLC /quotes/zigman/210014 UK:BP -1.04% /quotes/zigman/247026/quotes/nls/bp BP +0.07% fell 1.6%, a day after a trial related to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico got under way in New Orleans. News reports said Monday that U.S. officials were readying a settlement offer worth $16 billion. See: BP lower; settlement offer in the works: reports
In the mining sector, Vedanta Resources PLC /quotes/zigman/336962 UK:VED -2.53% fell 3.8%, BHP Billiton PLC /quotes/zigman/184879 UK:BLT -0.96% /quotes/zigman/270355/quotes/nls/bhp BHP -1.06% /quotes/zigman/180893 AU:BHP +0.92% slipped 1.9% and Rio Tinto PLC /quotes/zigman/155899 UK:RIO -0.64% /quotes/zigman/182541/quotes/nls/rio RIO +0.43% /quotes/zigman/176317 AU:RIO +1.55% fell 0.8%. Most metals prices were lower. See: Gold prices near $1,600 an ounce on Italy chaos
Hotel and restaurant group Whitbread PLC /quotes/zigman/445964 UK:WTB -0.43% dropped 3.7% as the company said the headline like-for-like sales growth of 2.7% was slightly suppressed by bad weather conditions in January. See: Whitbread 11-week sales up; '13 seen meeting goals.
Shares of Croda International PLC /quotes/zigman/153430 UK:CRDA -1.06% rose 1.1% after the specialty-chemicals firm posted a 6.6% rise in 2012 and said it sees further progress in 2013. See: Croda profit rises 6.6%; further progress seen in 2013.
Engineering group GKN PLC /quotes/zigman/287711 UK:GKN -0.42% rallied 3.6%. The company posted a 68% rise in pretax profit for 2012, achieving record profit in all four divisions. See: GKN profit up in all units; sees progress in '13.
Shares of CRH PLC /quotes/zigman/170487 UK:CRH +0.08% gained 1%, as the buildings-materials supplier said it targets further cost reductions. See: CRH '12 pretax profit off; sees €300M savings to '15.

It's understandable to feel stress when your livelihood is on the line, but Charlie Beljan is suffering more than most.
"He kept saying he thought he was going to die," the golfer's caddy Rick Adcox said after Friday's second round of the PGA Tour's final tournament of 2012, held at Disney World in Florida.
"A couple times I thought he might pass out. He just said, 'I'm gonna keep going until I pass out or they take me off.' "
Beljan is fighting to keep his full tour card after a difficult first season on the circuit -- the top 125 players qualify for next season, and he is in 139th place.
The stress is taking its toll on the 28-year-old. He was taken to hospital straight after his round, having suffered increased heart rate, high blood pressure and numbness in his arms.
Incredibly, despite all this he was leading the tournament, which is known as the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic.
"I don't know how he hit the golf ball feeling the way he was feeling," Adcox said on the PGA Tour's official website. "I thought he was going to stop when he heard what his blood pressure was."
Adcox said his boss had been hospitalized last month after fainting on a plane flight, but doctors had not found the cause.
Beljan, who became a first-time father less than two months ago, carded an incredible round of eight-under-par 64 to build a three-shot lead in the $4.7 million event.
The first prize is $846,000 -- and Beljan is determined to play on so he can add to his total of $527,528 from 21 tournaments this year.

Doukutsu Assembler Version 1.31
Latest Mirror Link:
Version 1.31
Other Mirror
Old Download Links:
The Doukutsu Assembler contains features that OllyDbg and similar interactive debuggers don't have.
This Assembler has a dynamic labeling system, so all your JMPs have the same capabilities as any goto statement in other programming languages. You can move around large blocks of your own code without having to change a single jump or call thanks to the labeling system.
While hacking, this means you never have to worry about whether to use a long JMP or a JMP SHORT--the assembler does it for you. There is also support for switch statements, so you don't have to recalculate the addresses in your switch tables if you decide to rearrange your ScriptStates.
(Starting with version 1.0, the Assembler supports almost every integer instruction).
You can still add in new instructions using a feature called defines, which works similarly to the C/C++ define macro.
Yes, I've included documentation/tutorials, so please read the Userguide.html file. If you don't, you'll most likely be very confused as to how to use the Assembler.
Source Code
Even though Java is cross-platform, I've compiled some special versions of the Assembler that make it run much better on Linux.
If you're using Linux, please download these versions instead of the Windows version.

Theatre needs community's help
Updated: November 30, 2012
It's full of original canvas paintings. Employees think they've been there since it was built in the 1920's. It's a lot of history they can't wait to restore.
The Virginia Theatre was given grants and private donations to start a $4 million renovation. There have been a few bumps along the way.
Now, it will cost even more to restore these paintings, thousands more to finish the project. Park district leaders are asking the community to help keep the 90-year-old history alive.
"It's priceless. It's irreplaceable. It serves as a downtown economic tool. It's an anchor in the community. It allows people to come downtown, have a drink, go out to dinner, see a show at the theater and have a complete experience," said park district executive director Bobbie Herakovich.
The theater will open in April for the 15th Annual Robert Ebert's Film Festival. To donate, click here.

More ripples from 2nd Circuit ruling on MBS class action standing read more »
It's been less than a week since the Federal Trade Commission announced the long-awaited resolution of its antitrust investigation of Google, and we're already up to the stage of the backlash against the backlash against the deal. Initial reaction, you'll recall, focused on the FTC's decision to not bring a case against Google for its search engine practices, which set Google's competitors grumbling about toothless enforcement. Then, over the weekend, some smart commentary by The New York Times and Reuters pointed out that Google had ceded leverage in patent negotiations by agreeing to FTC-ordered restrictions on its ability to bar competitors' products based on alleged infringement of standard essential patents. But now Microsoft -- which, along with Apple, has for years been battling Google over standard essential patents in federal district court, at the U.S. International Trade Commission and before regulators -- is asserting that the FTC's agreement with Google includes a big loophole that will actually permit Google broad rights to seek injunctions based on essential patents.
Microsoft's argument, put forward in a blog post Tuesday by deputy general counsel Dave Heiner, is that the FTC consent order governing Google's licensing of standard essential technology includes a key tit-for-tat exception that threatens to swallow the anti-injunction provisions. The order says that generally, Google must engage in extended negotiation and arbitration with potential licensees before it can ask for an injunction based on essential IP it has committed to license on fair and reasonable terms. But there's one circumstance in which Google doesn't have to jump through all of the procedural hoops: If potential licensees of Google IP have themselves tried to obtain their own injunctions on the basis of standard essential patents, then Google can sue for an injunction.
The FTC's analysis of the consent order explains that the provision is intended to apply when licensees have sought injunctions against Google itself. But as Microsoft notes in Tuesday's blog post, the exception as it appears in the consent order doesn't actually include the words "against Google." So, in Microsoft's reading, the order suggests that Google can seek an injunction against competitors that have brought any injunction claim based on any essential technology employed in a Google product, even if those suits are against third parties and not Google. "This exception threatens to swallow the general rule against injunctions because Google distributes its products through countless manufacturers, software firms and websites," Heiner wrote. "Those products often implement dozens of industry standards, and there is often ample room for disagreement about whether a particular patent is a standard essential patent in the first place."
My understanding is that Google rivals raised concerns about the so-called "defensive use" exception during the FTC's negotiations with Google, but Google was adamant and the FTC ultimately bowed to its arguments. (Google and FTC representatives declined comment on their negotiations and on Microsoft's assertions.)
Microsoft also claims that the defensive use exception in the FTC order is inconsistent with the joint position paper on injunctions and standard essential patents that the Justice Department and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office released Tuesday. Microsoft reads that position paper to hold broadly "that holders of standard essential patents should not be permitted to seek product injunctions against firms that are willing to take a reasonable license" and argues that the FTC consent order "does not live up to the approach outlined by the DOJ and the PTO." I didn't interpret the Justice Department's position to be as definitive as Microsoft suggests, since the paper doesn't explain how patent holders and licensees are supposed to figure out what constitutes a reasonable licensing offer (a determination that the FTC order leaves to fact finders). But it is certainly true that the Justice Department doesn't specify an exception for patent holders to sue for injunctions when they've been hit with injunction suits.
The FTC's settlement with Google is still subject to public comment, so I suspect we haven't heard the last of the debate over the defensive use loophole.

Congratulations on 1900 consecutive days! Way to go! I'm still working on getting my 1st 'speed lines', and I know how easy it is to get sidetracked and forget to post. Thank goodness for Hawaii!
Congratulations on having the dedication to post for 1,900 consecutive days. Keep up the Great Work. Your buddy, Warren :-)
Welcome StAn...thanks for the add. Have a great week!!!
Hi, BIG congratulations on having the dedication to post for 1,800 consecutive days. WOW!! Keep up the great work and Good Luck in the future! Your buddy, Warren :-)
A BIG CONGRATS on 1,800 consecutive days! Really awesome! Wow, another milestone has arrived! : ) For most GBs (8M plus) they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But, even clicking on news articles links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact the mods! Keep posting each day to save your consecutive days! Keep going like a PRO San Diego GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks buddy! Ron
Merry Christmas and/or Happy Hanukkah and a Joyous New Year to you and your family!
What a debacle last night at Qualcomm. It was hard to watch. Care to be buddies?
A BIG CONGRATS on reaching 1.5M and your nice red pickup! Keep going another 2 or 3 million or more! : ) Most new GBs will never make it to 1M, but you made it to1.5M! Really awesome! Many of the GBs ahead of you have already retired! You're doing great, so keep going! Don't give up now, like so many of the GBs that reached 1M and 2M, then retired! Only 1,905 GBs have made it to 2M of more than 400,000 GBs to have accumulated at least 2,000,000 points, so there is room for you there also! Keep going like a San Diego PRO GasBuddy! Have a nice week! Thanks buddy!

When newly elected Sarasota City Commissioner Suzanne Atwell finished third in the city's general election March 10, her challenge for the runoff was clear: Figure out how to overtake her closest competitor, second-place candidate Paul Caragiulo.
Atwell overcame a deficit of nearly 300 votes in the general election to claim her at-large seat in last week's runoff. She finished 104 votes ahead of Caragiulo.
The Bird Key resident attributes her victory to fundamental campaigning — attracting new volunteers and personally knocking on doors. But interviews with others involved in the election also say an unknown political action committee's efforts, bullet voting and the Democratic Party contributed to Atwell's margin of victory.
Although she didn't make mention of the fact often, the commission would be left without a woman if Atwell were not elected. Apparently, that fact was not lost on voters.
Atwell said a number of volunteers joined her campaign after the general election. She doesn't know exactly how many, but she does know that most of them were women.
"I was the only woman in the race," Atwell said. "That was part of it."
Another strategy was to personally knock on doors in every precinct west of the Trail, such as Precinct 49, which includes the waterfront neighborhoods of Indian Beach, Sapphire Shores and Tahiti Park.
For several days before the election, Atwell and her husband, Bob, spent two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon talking to residents in those neighborhoods. It was time well spent.
In the general election, Atwell received 205 votes in that precinct. She won 305 in the runoff. Caragiulo went from 199 in the general election to 219 in the runoff.
Altogether, Atwell increased her percentage of the vote in 17 of 27 city precincts. Caragiulo gained ground in six precincts. (See chart).
Also claiming partial credit in her turnaround was a political-action committee called Neighbors United, which was created a couple of weeks before the runoff. Two hours after Atwell and Turner were declared the winners, the group e-mailed a press release trumpeting its results.
"We were able to help Suzanne Atwell go from the lowest vote-getter of the top three to securing a position on the City Commission," the release stated.
Atwell said she hadn't heard of the group until that e-mail was sent. "I have no idea who those people are," she said.
Neighbors United is made up of about 40 volunteers who targeted female Democrats, who were 40 or older and who don't traditionally vote in city elections, but did vote in the 2008 presidential election. The group thought that demographic would relate to Atwell.
The volunteers distributed 1,200 handwritten notes and made nearly 800 phone calls urging those women to vote for Atwell.
None of the volunteers The Sarasota Observer contacted wanted to reveal their names. According to the group's press release, its members wanted to remain in the background.
"Our goal was to keep our names 100% out of the picture, so the message could not be discounted by any baseless attacks," the e-mail stated. "We have been successful in keeping our group from being labeled 'pro-neighborhood' or 'pro-business.' We are neither. Our financial support comes from both businesses and neighborhood residents."
An analysis of its contribution records shows from March 24 to April 9, Neighbors United raised $4,000 from 13 donations. The contributors include well-known names in Sarasota, including Realtors Michael Saunders, Drayton Saunders and Joe Hembree; builder/developer John Cox III; developer and yacht builder Piero Rivolta; banker H.R. Foxworthy; and the Gulf Coast Builders Exchange (see box for a complete list of contributors).
Sam Stern, owner of Cap Creative advertising agency, contributed $200, and his company created the group's direct-mail campaign.
"I wanted to help Paul (Caragiulo) and Suzanne (Atwell) because I felt they were the best candidates," said Stern.
Caragiulo, who finished second in the general election, declined assistance from Neighbors United because he pledged not to use PACs.
"They wanted to be in control of my message," Caragiulo said. "I didn't want to drink anyone's Kool-Aid."
Two other factors contributed to the final outcome — bullet voting and the Democratic Party.
Bullet voting is when voters choose only one instead of two candidates in the runoff. There were 5,125 ballots cast. If all of those voters had voted for two candidates, there would have been 10,250 total votes.
There were only 8,846 total votes.
The Democratic Party, meanwhile, broke an unspoken tradition with its Republican Party counterpart to keep the election nonpartisan by delivering automated telephone calls to Democratic Party voters in favor of Atwell. The calls noted that Atwell was a lifelong Democrat.
When Atwell assesses how she went from third to victory, she gives her volunteers all of the credit. Said the new commissioner: "When you're in third place, the only hope is to get more people out (to vote)."

Patriots | Want to re-sign Aqib Talib
The New England Patriots will try to re-sign impending free-agent CB Aqib Talib; however, it has to be a very fair contract given his off-field and injury problems.
Panthers | Versatile Garry Williams might be cut
The Carolina Panthers might cut OL Garry Williams to save $1 million against the salary cap in 2013. Williams has been a dependable backup who can play several spots along the offensive line.
Browns | Martellus Bennett to be TE target?
Cleveland Browns head coach Rob Chudzinski and offensive coordinator Norv Turner both believe a big, athletic tight end can be very productive in the offense. The team is looking for depth at the position, with just TE Jordan Cameron under contract in 2013. The top free-agent on the market is expected to be TE Martellus Bennett (Giants), unless he is retained by the team before free agency opens March 12.
Panthers | Might pursue Jared Cook
The Carolina Panthers might purse impending free-agent TE Jared Cook (Titans). The former star at the University of South Carolina is unhappy with his role with the Tennessee Titans, so it is expected he wouldn't re-sign
Panthers | Could target former New York defenders
The Carolina Panthers might pursue free-agent DT Chris Canty (Giants) and/or impending free-agent SS Kenny Phillips (Giants) this offseason. General manager David Gettleman was the team's pro personnel director when Canty was signed, and Canty went to high school in Charlotte. Gettleman is also familiar with Phillips, the first-round pick of the Giants in 2008.
Chargers | Several candidates to be released (Oh man, Eddie Royal's back in the game hahaha)
San Diego Chargers FB Le'Ron McClain, TE Randy McMichael, WR Eddie Royal, OT Jared Gaither and OT Jeromey Clary could be candidates to be released this offseason.
49ers | Isaac Sopoaga's future may hinge on another player
San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent DT Isaac Sopoaga's future with the team may hinge on if the 49ers are able to re-sign impending free-agent DT Ricky Jean-Francois this offseason.
Steelers | May look to change blocking scheme (Now the Jaguars and Steelers will be competition for OLineman)
The Pittsburgh Steelers may look to change to a zone-blocking scheme for their running game next season because offensive coordinator Todd Haley and offensive line coach Jack Bicknell are looking for linemen who can move, run and have quickness off the ball.
---------- Post added February-11th-2013 at 09:52 AM ----------
Patriots | Danny Woodhead may not return
The New England Patriots value impending free-agent RB Danny Woodhead but may not be willing to pay him what he is looking for because they have depth at the running back position.

One of the most common surgical emergencies in the newborn is for bowel obstruction. When a newborn develops abdominal distention and fails to pass his first stool, distal bowel obstruction must be suspected. There are several different etiologies for distal bowel obstruction, and amongst the list of differentials is Hirshsprungâs disease.
Those with Downâs syndrome have a higher incidence of complications following surgery. They have a higher risk of enterocolitis and a risk of suffering adverse cardiovascular events.
One of the most common surgical emergencies in the newborn is for bowel obstruction. When a newborn develops abdominal distention and fails to pass his first stool, distal bowel obstruction must be suspected. There are several different etiologies for distal bowel obstruction, and amongst the list of differentials is Hirshsprungâs disease.
Hirshsprungâs disease is a motor disorder of the colon, which results in a functional (or pseudo-) obstruction. It occurs in about 1 in 5000 live births. In the majority of patients (75-80%), only the rectosigmoid colon is affected; however, in 10% of patients, the entire colon is involved. Males are affected three to four times more than females, except in cases where the entire colon is involved, in which case the male:female ratio is 1:1.
During development, the normal colon is innervated by derivatives of the neural crest cells (ganglionic cells) as it grows in length. These cells are responsible for relaxing the colon during peristalsis. Hirshsprungâs disease results from failure of the neural crest cells to migrate to the colon, which in turn results in aganglionic bowel. This portion of the bowel does not relax with peristalsis. This gives rise to the predominant symptoms of abdominal distention and failure to pass meconium in the first 24-48 hours of life. If the diagnosis is unrecognized early on, the infant may present with enterocolitis of Hirschsprungâs disease, also known as toxic megacolon. These patients are typically critically ill with the signs and symptoms of fever, sepsis, diarrhea, and abdominal distention. Those born with mild disease may not present with signs of Hirschsprungâs disease until later in childhood/young adulthood. These patients will have a history of chronic constipation and malnutrition secondary to malabsorption and protein-losing enteropathy.
Hirshsprungâs disease has been linked to about eight genetic mutations, with the RET proto-oncogene being the predominant mutation. It is associated with certain syndromes, such as MEN 2, Waardenburg syndrome, and cardiac disease. Among chromosomal abnormalities, Downâs syndrome is the one most commonly associated with Hirshsprungâs disease. Three percent of those with Hirschsprungâs disease also have Downâs syndrome.
When Hirschsprungâs disease is suspected, plain films of the abdomen are initially ordered. These films typically reveal decreased air in the rectum and a dilated colon filled with stool. Barium or water-soluble contrast agents (Gastrografin) can be used as well. These agents are utilized to view the transition zone, which highly suggests Hirschsprungâs disease (97% specificity, 76% sensitivity). The transition zone is best visualized with the child in the lateral position. It reveals a transition between the aganglionic, distal, stool-free segment and the dilated, proximal, stool-filled segment of innervated bowel. This zone is most frequently visualized in older children, but with good technique (constant filming and monitoring of the laterally positioned child), it may be seen in neonates. Anorectal manometry may aid in diagnosis, but its results are less accurate in neonates. Definitive diagnosis is made via suction biopsy of the rectal mucosa in infants. Full-thickness biopsy is recommended in older children. This procedure is the most sensitive (93%) and specific (100%) of all tests. Diagnosis is made by the finding of absence of ganglion cells.
Initial treatment for Hirshsprungâs disease differs depending on the condition of the child. If a child is very ill, an ileostomy or colostomy is often performed initially in order to decompress the dilated bowel. Once the child is stable, they undergo pull-through surgery, which is the definitive treatment. There are several different pull-through surgeries; however, all involve removal of or bypassing the dysfunctional bowel and reconnecting the functional bowel to the rectum.
In the early post-operative months, the child may experience diarrhea and incontinence secondary to loss of the absorptive surface of the colon and dysfunction of the anal sphincter. These conditions tend to improve as the child ages. The great majority of children eventually have five or fewer stools each day. Some children may experience constipation at some point, which is typically relieved with a mild laxative. Children are advised to drink plenty of fluids and to eat high-fiber foods in order to reduce episodes of diarrhea/constipation. Infants and children may also suffer the complication of enterocolitis; however, this is less common than diarrhea and constipation. Other than bouts of diarrhea/constipation, these children tend to live normal lives. Those with Downâs syndrome have a higher incidence of complications following surgery. They have a higher risk of enterocolitis and a risk of suffering adverse cardiovascular events.

Hugo Chavez was as colorful as he was polarizing. Celebrating his 10th year in power four years ago, he held a jewel-encrusted sword of his hero, 19th-century revolutionary Simon Bolivar, and reminded a Caracas crowd what he was about.
"There is no other path to redemption for the human being than socialism," the Venezuelan president said, flanked by like-minded Latin American leaders helping him mark his anniversary.
After his death on Tuesday, detractors and fans had plenty to say about his fiery character and leftist pursuits, and it's hard to remember they're talking about the same guy.
He wrecked Venezuela's economy and trounced on democratic institutions and people's liberties, some say. He improved the lives of the poor and rightly stood up against "imperialist" nations, say others.
One of the more interesting tributes came from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who declared on his Farsi-language presidential website that Chavez was a great leader who will "resurrect" along with Jesus.
How many different ways can people look at Chavez? Here are a few:
Champion of the poor
Chavez, who led virtually uninterrupted from 1999 until his death, launched big poverty-reduction programs and paid for them with Venezuelan oil income. The programs worked on measurable levels, fans say.
The percentage of Venezuelans living under the poverty line declined from a peak of 62% in 2003 to 29% in 2009, according to World Bank statistics. Between 2001 and 2007, illiteracy fell from 7% to 5%.
His programs brought food and housing to the poor. And because Chavez gave subsidized oil to Cuba, the island sent doctors to Venezuela to provide free health care to the needy.

FNSI #1 Results
I did some prep work during naptime to make FNSI go a little smoother - I managed to baste both my Make Mine Modern mini-quilt and the MHC drunk love quilt. I used spray baste for both, and my back seriously thanked me for it. I can't get over how much easier and faster spray basting is. I still used a handful of pins on the edges of the MHC quilt, since it's bigger, just to make sure it didn't slip. I also wound a bunch of bobbins so I'd be ready to roll tonight.
I started out on my Birdie Stitches block, which was a breeze to complete. It seems like with each month, I get a little bit more proficient at embroidery and it goes by more quickly. This one is awfully cute!
Next, I quilted my bookshelf mini-quilt for the Make Mine Modern swap. I really love how this one is looking at this point. I'm
The last project I got started on was quilting my MHC quilt. I can tell it's going to take a few sessions, much as I dislike the idea of several sessions. The fabrics are very busy, and it's taking a lot of focus to stipple without overlapping the stitching. Instead of going all over the place, like I usually do, I'm trying to actually stick to staying inside one block at a time, to make it easier to follow. I like how the stippling is looking so far. I'm two rows into it so far, with 10 blocks quilted. Only 20 left to go!
So, three bobbins emptied tonight. A bit less than I expected, but I'm still happy with how my first Friday Night Sew-In turned out! Have a great weekend!

Poll: Government Viewed as a Threat to FreedomAt the outset of President Obama's second term, he sits atop a government that a majority of Americans - 53 percent - view as a threat to personal rights and freedoms, according to a new poll from the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. In March 2010, only 47 percent of respondents felt that the government threatened their freedom. The increase since then has been driven largely by Republicans - in 2010, only 62 percent of conservative Republicans described the government as a threat, but today, 76 percent of conservative Republicans feel threatened by the state. One interesting crosstab: amid a growing push for stricter gun laws, households with guns feel more threatened than households without: 62 percent of gun-owning households view government as a threat to freedom, while only 45 percent of those without guns agree. And just 26 percent of respondents said they trust the government to do the right thing always or most of the time; 73 percent said the government can be trusted to do the right thing only sometimes or never. Still, despite the desultory numbers, only 19 percent of respondents described themselves as "angry" at the federal government. A much more common sentiment - frustration - was voiced by 58 percent. And 20 percent described themselves as basically content with the government. The Pew poll also delivers a familiar verdict on Congress. (Spoiler alert: people don't like it.) Only 23 percent of respondents expressed a favorable view of Congress, while 68 percent expressed an unfavorable view. And by a large margin, Americans blame lawmakers themselves, not the system or the institution: 56 percent of respondents said members of Congress are the problem, while only 32 percent said that lawmakers have good intentions but that the political system is broken. For the survey, Pew interviewed 1,502 adults from January 9-13. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Friday, Feb 1 at 10:03 AM You view government as an Outhouse, with the big turds on top sqishing out everything else, whats left is just the huge turds. and thats when you have a revolt, The outhouse is for everyone, but the big turds dont want any lil ones around, So the big turds slowly eat away at and lil turd right, I am sure everyone of you have felt intruded when you have to get on a plane and go through security, kids and grandparents get fondled by these pedafiles disguised as a tsa person.

Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Feb 1 at 10:15 AM Our federal government has produced factions within our nation!

Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Feb 1 at 12:50 PM Why wouldn't the "normal" working American feel threatened? We have a President that is doing everything in his power to take us down the path to pure socialism, wanting those that work to support those that 1, refuse to, 2, won't, 3. believe that they don't have to work and the goverment will take care of them. A goverment that is under the belief that we work for them and not that they are suppose to work for us or that believes that they are immune to their own decisions and keeps making decisions that indicate they are above the people that put them in office to begin with Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Feb 1 at 12:53 PM Why is it that if 56% view the individual members of congress as problem that they keep getting re-elected? What is wrong with people that makes them willing to continue to "re-hire" employees that they have already identified as bad? If I catch an employee lying or stealing or just not getting the job done, I fire them....and you should treat all elected officials the same way. We should not have anything known as "career politicians" in this country. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Feb 1 at 1:24 PM I used to think government would defend the people against the corporations and greed-heads. Now I realize we're just caught between them and counting down the days... Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Feb 1 at 1:54 PM I like that analogy...good job...the voters are electing folks they know are "no good" but do it anyways because they make theatrics of it all...so you will vote for "the other guy" and how is that working out... Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Feb 1 at 3:10 PM We are looking at a regime that is willing to relinquish American sovereignty to gain votes. I betting this goes much deeper than just his desire to eliminate the Second Amendment. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Feb 1 at 3:26 PM Interesting that Republicans seem and gun owners seem to be the ones most afraid of government now. I think that shows more about a way that perhaps this particular group feels than anything else. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Feb 1 at 4:18 PM I didn't vote for them !!!!!!!

Nice of Romney to reduce the GOP platform to its basics, "Corporations are people." So we can update Lincoln:
"...that government of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations shall not perish from the earth."
"At that time, there was a sentiment somehow that businesses were bad, that it was anti-people. And the Obama administration seems to think that the 60s is here again. Business is good. I am talking about repair shops and gas stations and beauty salons and restaurants. I am talking about Apple Computer and Facebook and Microsoft," Romney said.

Talk about your classic contradiction
Its now all over the news, the Internet, the radio, Facebook, you name it and its there.
It is the soon-to-be legendary incident at Phillys Charles Carroll High School involving a student named Samantha Pawlucy and a teacher named Lynette Gaymon.
The bottom line is this: the student wore a pro-Romney shirt to school and claims the teacher harassed her because of it. The students family complained and now the school is divided supporters of the student (which seem to be few in number) and of the teacher.
The contradiction? Well, the student says her free speech rights were violated by the teacher and her fellow students who now despise her and her family wants to put socks in the mouths of the students who now oppose their daughter. In other words, the family wants to deny those students their right to free speech.
The bottom line is that clearly neither side can be the winner. The student should be allowed to express her support of any candidate she chooses. However, the other students also have the right to be on the other side and if their opposition remains non-violent, well then the complaining student better learn to deal with it.
Lets face it, kids will be kids. You want to wear outlandish clothes? Fine. Want to have your hair colored pink? Great. With these choices and expressions of opinion and individuality comes the risk of scorn. Its the American way. You have the freedom of choice but remember that not everyone agrees with you.

Misting Systems
By: Amanda Campbell
Updated: August 30, 2010
If you�re looking for a way to beat the summer heat, a misting system might be the answer for you. By installing an outdoor misting system on your patio you can reduce the temperature by as much as 20�.
How does it work? It's a really simple process. Misting systems provide outdoor cooling through evaporation, called evaporative cooling or thermal dynamics. Water requires energy to evaporate. As the mist evaporates, the energy exchange results in temperature reductions.
Useful tips for mist system layout:
1. Mist line is placed around the perimeter of the area to be cooled. This forms a "mist curtain", a cooling barrier between the protected area and the outside hear.
2. Mist nozzles are placed 24" apart for mist lines mounted 8' to 10' above the ground.
3. For a deep patio, mount the pipe on the inside with nozzles directed slightly downward into the patio for most effective cooling.
4. For a shallow patio, mount the pipe on the outside with nozzles positioned slightly downward and outward.
Layout your system before cementing together:
1. Predetermine hanging position of mist line, inside or outside of patio. Then mark the surface with a chalk line. For proper drainage the mist line should have a 1" downgrade from the highest point of the mist line.
2. Determine where 90-degree turns must be made if you are assembling a mist line around or inside a corner.
3. Measure the lengths needed for straight runs of the mist line.
4. An automatic drain valve must be installed at the lowest point of your mist line to insure proper water drainage when mist system is not in use and to prevent premature nozzle clogging.
5. Determine where you will connect water sources to the mist line. This is your water feedline.
Assemble straight sections of mist line. Connect the precut sections of pipe using the split sections and the PVC cement by liberally applying the cement to the inside of the fitting and the outside of the pipe. Insert pipe into fitting and twist 1/4" turn to evenly spread the cement as each piece is cemented together and provide a water tight seal. Each section should begin and end with a piece of straight PVC. Keep in mind the automatic drain valve placement.
Be sure that the split sections are cemented in place so that all the threaded nozzle openings are aimed in the same directions.
Before mounting, snap one hanging clamp onto the PVC between each split section of prebuilt mist line. Place assembled mist line along your marks with the first nozzle beginning approximately 2 feet from the house and nail hanging clamps into place. Repeat this step until all straight sections are hung.
Join all sections at the corners by cementing 90-degree elbows into place at the corners using the same cementing process. Be sure that the mist line is positioned at the proper angle for misting. This will be the permanent position of the mist line once cement has dried.
To attach the water feedline, cement a 90-degree elbow at the start of the mist line closest to the water source. Point the elbow, and then cement PVC hose adapter to the other end of the PVC pipe section.
To end the mist line, you can choose one of 2 methods:
1. If this is the lowest point in the mist line, cement the threaded PVC 90-degree elbow to end of PVC pipe section facing downward. Automatic drain valve will be placed here after the mist line has been flushed.
2. If this is not the lowest point into the mist line, cap the end by cementing 1/2" PVC cap.
Allow a minimum of 1 hour drying time before flushing system or misting.
Attach sediment filter to the water spigot, then attach water feedline between filter and mist line. Turn on water full pressure for a few minutes to flush out any dirt or debris from within the mist line. Turn off water, hand thread nozzles in the split section opening, and thread automatic drain valve into place. Turn on water and begin misting.
Whenever the mist system is not in use, the residual water should be drained to minimize nozzle clogging. If your system has had an automatic drain valve installed correctly at the lowest points in the system, no additional steps are required after turning off the system.
Nozzles should be cleaned periodically to dissolve mineral deposit build up.
Always remove the nozzles at the end of the summer season.
