How can we best engage college students in the idea of learning instead of just getting a degree?
I work at a 4 year, public university and I see a great deal of students who come to school to get their degree (which they equate to money/success) and do not care about learning. What are your thoughts on the best way to engage them in the actual process of learning. I have my thoughts, but would love to hear my fellow TEDsters thoughts.

Mar 19 2013: Ignite the students passion for learning. Test the fundamentals, but inspire every student to create or participate in projects that will reinforce the fundamentals while expanding knowledge, skills, wonder and awe. If your classroom is not like kids happily playing in the park, try to make it more so. My passion for learning was not truly ignited until I was doing my Master's degree in Special Education, when the professor asked, "is this project going to be something you will use in your own classroom? No? Then, why are you doing it? Pick a project meaningful to you." Wow, I realized. School is supposed to be about learning that is meaningful to me? Fasten your seatbelt, Frank, we're kicking in the afterburners.

If all you need or want is to point and shoot, the Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS does that well.
The Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS is a solid value with decent photo quality, a well-rounded feature set, and a compact, solid-feeling design.
Harman Kardon announced two new sound bars, one of which is the 1.25-inch thick Sabre SB35, which includes built-in Bluetooth and three HDMI inputs.
A run-of-the-mill but very adjustable LCD with snap-on accessory cups and photo clips that should appeal to admin assistants and the inveterately sentimental.
Though it's certainly a good, inexpensive megazoom camera, some aspects of the Canon PowerShot SX110 IS fall a bit short of its predecessor.
Canon's A series continues to deliver tons of bang for the buck, this time including optical image stabilization, 6X optical zoom, and solid image quality in a midsize compact camera with a stylish design update.
Aside from a couple performance quibbles, the Canon PowerShot A1100 IS provides a good point-and-shoot experience with great pictures as a result.
If you need an ultracompact camera for your pocket or purse, strongly consider the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS.
The Boston Acoustics TVee sound bars offer a sonic upgrade to flat-panel televisions and can be wall mounted.

Winners of the PUMA Mascot Design CompetitionAugust 25, 2010
Ahead of the 2010 tournaments, the PUMA Mascot Design competition invited students at selected universities in Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Egypt, Ghana and Tunisia to create a mascot design symbolizing their national team and the perception of football in their country. The students were inspired by joy, hope, pride, honor, and glory to produce either a sculpture, picture, or painting. Selecting winners from so many beautiful and inspiring entries was extremely difficult, and we would like to thank all of the fans who shared with us their vision of what their national team means to them, and how to reflect this in a mascot. We are pleased and proud to present the chosen winners for each participating country.

Breast cancer has the second highest five-year survival rate for women aged 15-99 years, in England, after melanoma skin cancer.
Five-year survival was 84 per cent for women in England diagnosed in 2004-08 and followed up to the end of 2009. This compares with 83 per cent for women diagnosed in 2003-07 and followed up to the end of 2008.
A podcast explaining cancer statistics in England, focusing on breast cancer is available on the ONS website.
1 NHS Breast Cancer Screening Programme.
Source: Office for National Statistics
Female breast cancer is coded to 174 in the International Classification of Diseases Eighth and Ninth Revisions (ICD-8 & 9) and C50 in the Tenth Revision (ICD-10).
Cancer registrations for 2009 were estimated to be around 97 per cent complete at the time of extraction. This estimate was based on the figures published for the previous three years, in this case 2006-2008, compared with the number of late registrations subsequently received for these years. It is therefore the difference between the figures that were published in the 'First Release - Cancer Registration Statistics' publications for the years 2006-08, and the number of late registrations received after their release. It is not an estimate of how many cancers never get recorded.
Further information can be found in the cancer quality reports (244.2 Kb Pdf) on the ONS website.
All rates are directly age-standardised using the European standard population.
The five-year relative survival rates are for adults (ages 15-99) and have been age standardised to control for changes in the age profile of cancer patients over time. This enables figures for different time periods to be compared.
Figures presented are based on rates reported in the most recent Annual Reference Volume (Cancer Statistics - Registrations, England 2009, Series MB1 no 40) and represent registrations received at ONS by end of March 2010.
These National Statistics are produced to a high professional standards and released according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.

Sumas-Blaine aquifer is not the source for Blaine, Birch Bay
Published on Wed, Jul 4, 2012 by
Jeremy Schwartz
Read More
City of Blaine and Birch Bay Water and Sewer District (BBWSD) officials want to assure local residents that contamination issues in the Sumas-Blaine aquifer will not affect the water supplied to the two communities.
Despite the name, the Sumas-Blaine aquifer encompasses an area well east of the city, closer to the Lynden area, Blaine public works director Ravyn Whitewolf said. The city gets its water from a handful of wells in the uplands of east Blaine, closer to the U.S./Canadian border, Whitewolf explained.
"So [the Sumas-Blaine aquifer] is just an unfortunate title, over which we have no control," Whitewolf said.
Whitewolf was asked to address concerns about the aquifer raised by Blaine City Council members at their June 25 city council meeting. Council members wanted more information about a report the state department of ecology (DOE) recently released detailing nitrate contamination issues in the Sumas-Blaine aquifer.
"There are no nitrate issues with the city of Blaine's water," Whitewolf told council members. "That's the most important message."
According to the DOE report, between 18,000 and 27,000 people in Whatcom County east of Blaine rely on the Sumas-Blaine aquifer for their drinking water. The findings of the report, which summarizes 30 years' of monitoring data for DOE staff updating water quality regulations for large livestock operations, show 29 percent of the 515 wells sampled have higher than acceptable levels of nitrate for drinking water.
Nitrate contamination likely comes from the heavy agriculture use in the study area. Nitrates are often found in fertilizer and likely leach through the sandy soil in the Lynden area into the area's water table, which is no more than 10 feet underground in some areas.
Blaine and Birch Bay's water supply, however, comes from wells that are as deep as 700 feet and are covered by clay layers that prevent contamination from above, BBWSD manager Roger Brown said. Water quality reports for both Blaine and Birch Bay consistently show nitrate levels at less than one tenth of the minimum required by state law.
"[Nitrate contamination] just isn't characteristic of this area at all," Brown said.
Additionally, Blaine's wells sit in higher elevations than the Sumas-Blaine aquifer, Whitewolf said. This means water from the affected aquifer could never flow up hill to contaminate any of Blaine's wells.
"If anything, customers are benefiting from our good water," Whitewolf said.

Did you know that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 males will be sexually assaulted before their 18th birthday? Would you be surprised to learn that 90% of all "date rapes" involve alcohol? Or that in the state of Pennsylvania it is illegal to consent to sex while under the influence of alcohol?
To help students understand the laws and how to protect themselves from sexual assault, Amber Pitten of the Crime Victims Council of Lehigh Valley visited Main Campus on September 20.
Drug-facilitated sexual assault is increasingly becoming an issue in the Lehigh Valley, Pitten says as she describes how calls to the CVCLV about date rape drugs have increased. "It's when someone slips you a drug that intoxicates you to the point that you are unable to consent," she explains. Most all date rape drugs are colorless and odorless, making them very difficult to detect. They all have harmful and potentially fatal side effects.
To reduce the risk of drug-facilitated sexual assault, Pitten recommends:
• Do not accept drinks from anyone. If someone wants to make you a drink, watch them make the drink.
•Always watch your drink and keep it close to your body. Keep your hand over an open cup or place thumb over the opening of a bottle.
•Stay close to your friends and check in with them often.
• Never accept a drink from a punch bowl or open container.
•If you start to feel strange (dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea and/or drowsiness) find a friend and go to the emergency room immediately. If a friend is acting strangely, seek medical attention for them.
"Sexual assault is not about desire, it is about power and control," Pitten says. "The weapon is sex."
Pitten asked students if they had ever heard statements blaming the victim for wearing a short skirt, drinking too much, or inviting someone to his or her bedroom.
"Bad judgment is never a rape-able offense," Pitten stressed. "It is not the victim's fault, no matter what."
Pitten also dispelled the myth of a rape occurring in a dark alley by a stranger in a ski mask. "70% of all rapes are committed by someone known to the victim, a boyfriend, girlfriend, neighbor, or family member."
The Red Zone period is when students are most vulnerable to experiencing unwanted sex. It takes place between the times when students arrive on campus in the fall extending to the Thanksgiving break. "It's a time when you are meeting new people, going to new places," she explains. In fact, 37% of sexual assault victims were first year students, and 50% were living in university housing.
If you have been assaulted, Pitten suggests to:
•Go to a safe place. People living in Northampton and Lehigh Counties can call the Crime Victims Council of Lehigh Valley's 24-hour hotline at 610-437-6611. Other PA resident can call 1-888-772-PCAR.
•Seek medical attention. Victims of sexual assault are at risk for sexually transmitted disease, pregnancy, and may have internal injuries that cannot be seen.
•Do not shower, eat, drink, smoke, comb your hair, urinate or douche before going to the emergency room.
•Report the assault to the police. Pressing charges may help you feel empowered after the assault and may save someone else from being assaulted.
•Seek counseling. The Crime Victims Council offers free counseling.
If a person discloses a sexual assault to you:
•Stay calm.
•Believe the victim and make it clear that the assault was not his or her fault.
•Help the person decide what to do next. Do not take control of the situation. Rape is a crime of power and control and it's important for the victim to be able to gain control again by making his or her own decisions.
•Suggest seeking medical attention, especially within 72 hours of the assault because a rape exam can still be processed for evidence at this time.
•Keep whatever the victim tells you confidential. It's not your place to tell people.
•Encourage the victim to go to counseling by proving the hotline number for CVC or the local rape crisis center, but let the victim decide whether or not to go.
•Seek counseling for yourself at CVC or the local rape crisis center if you need to talk to someone about how you are feeling.
At the end of the presentation, Mitch Murtha, director of Judicial Affairs, encouraged students to turn to the Student Affairs and Counseling staff, the nurse or campus security with any questions or concerns. "There are a lot of people who care about you, who want to be there for you and help you through the process. We will maintain strict confidentiality. We're here to help you in any way we can."

Libra Dohko (天秤座の童虎, Raibura no Dōko) is one of the Gold Saints. He is one of the oldest characters in the manga next to Aries Shion, as they both appear in the previous Holy War, and is most known by his role as Dragon Shiryu's mentor. He is also referred to as Old Master (老師, rōshi) by all of the Saints of Athena as a sign of respect, even though his only true student is Shiryu.
Personality and backgroundEdit
Dohko is one of the two survivors of the last generation of Athena Saints along with Aries Shion who is a close friend of him. After the war, Dohko received the order to watch the tower where Hades' Specters were sealed until the next Holy War. Dohko lives at the Five Peaks in China alone with Shunrei, an orphan girl he took on his care. Dohko is also the master of Dragon Shiryu and Ohko, who is an anime-only character. Dohko represents a father figure to Shiryu as well, and Shiryu often recalls on his wise teachings whenever facing difficulty in battle. He is often seen as an adviser of the main characters and a good friend of Aries Mu, Shion's disciple. When Dohko was young, he was much more vivid and rather impulsive. After regaining his young form during the Hades arc, he retains the behavior of his youth, albeit much more circumspect and mindful, result of his almost three centuries of experience as a Saint.
Plot (Episode G)EditApart from being mentioned by Taurus Aldebaran in the meeting golden Dohko so far has had a moderate participation. First appeared in a vision of the future where it shows next to Shunrei and Dragon Shiryu at Rozan. In Gaiden, stars alongside Aries Shion , one in which shows the end of the previous Holy War.
His biggest turnout was in a fight with Leo Aiolia against Pontos , God does not understand how Aioria exceeded the speed of light, as this can only be achieved if the divine power, but this makes Aioria effort reaches its limit, right time for Titans to end Saint Leo once and for all. When the Titan was going to end the holy Libra Shield protects you and the great master of Libra Dohko five peaks appeared with his young appearance. Aioria Dohko explains that he can not really move but if you send five peaks cosmos with an illusion of your body to fight against the Titan. The illusion could Aioria protected while and made him remember to trust the great strength of his companions, after that we see in Aries Mu Jamir who raises their cosmos and use his powers to teleport to other Leo Aioria.
Plot (86)Edit
AftermathEditAs he became one of the survivors of the ancient Hades War, after the war, Shion was assigned to be the pope of the Sanctuary while Dohko was assigned to guard the seal of Hades. (see Suspended animation ) Dohko on the other hand received a miraculous ability known as Misopetha-Menos, a way to preserve youth indefinitely (some animals are capable of doing this for a short time, in Dohko's case it will need this Misopetha-Menos spell). As a normal person has about 100,000 heartbeats per day, Dohko has about 100,000 heartbeats per year with the help of the Misopetha-Menos. Relatively speaking, the 243 years is a mere 243 days for Dohko. This enabled Dohko to live a long life, shrunk from his normal average human size to the one of an old purple man. The condition was that Dohko must stay in the Mount Lu as a watchguard. As the time Hades will be unsealed, Dohko can be prepared to fight off Hades and his Spectres with his youthful body. This divine gift is a secret that even Shion, the former Pope, was unaware of. It is also for this reason that he is exempted from mandatory meetings in the Sanctuary.
The Sanctuary arcEdit
Dohko is Dragon Shiryu's Teacher, but Shiryu didn't know about Dohko's past, until Cancer Deathmask came to Mount Lu in an attempt to take the Libra Gold Cloth from him, revealing that he is one of the 12 Gold Saints of Sanctuary. It was implied that Dohko distanced himself from Sanctuary due to his suspicion that his old friend Aries Shion, the Pope of the Sanctuary, has been replaced. During the incoming fight, Dohko wasn't able to help directly the Bronze Saints, but sent his Gold Cloth to Shiryu so he could free Cygnus Hyoga from Aquarius Camus' Freezing Coffin. He also saved Shunrei from drowning when Cancer Deathmask struck her with a telekinetic attack as a gesture to taunt Shiryu.
The Asgard and Poseidon arcsEdit
During Athena's departure from Sanctuary, Dohko, acting as the highest command aside from Athena and the Pope, ordered all of the Gold Saints to remain in Sanctuary to prepare for a greater battle that is ahead. However, his spiritual guidance has helped Shiryu overcome many enemies, especially against Megrez Delta Alberich, in the anime-only Asgard saga. To aid the Bronze Saints in the battle against Poseidon, he also ordered Kiki to deliver the Libra Gold Cloth to them, which helped them destroy the Pillars of the Seven Oceans.
Plot (Hades arc)Edit
His most prominent appearance is in the Hades chapter, when he felt that the Hades seal finally broke, so he goes to the Sanctuary to fight against Hades, and then turns on the fire clock. Hades revives some dead Saints, including Aries Shion, the former pope. Shion and Dokho meet again, and eventually the two fight. During the fight Dohko attempts to use his supreme attack, the Mount Lu One Hundred Dragons Wave to defeat Shion, but it failed to defeat him. Shion stated that Dohko, being 243 years older, could not possibly stand a chance against him, having his youth restored by Hades. He proceeds to defeat Dohko, but just the moment Dohko want to die with Shiryu together, the Libra Cloth appears before Dohko and defends him. Unlocking the memories of wearing the Libra Cloth, he then breaks the power of longevity and turns back to his original young form to be able to fight properly. His purple skin has gone. The tiger image reappears on Dohko's back and is now evenly matched with his former friend. Dohko wants Shiryu to go to join the Gold Saints and apologizes to Athena for the coming because she had not allowed Bronze Saints to come to Sanctuary. Dohko's Mount Lu One Hundred Dragons Force collides with Shion's Stardust Revolution. Both are vanished. Later on, it would be Dohko who tells the Bronze Saints (except for Seiya and Ikki) before they entered Hell, that they had to acquire the Eighth Sense in order to advance in this realm without losing their lives.
Athough it had not mentioned, Dohko killed many Specters along the way from the entrance of Hell to the Wailing Wall and he was familiar with them since he had fought against them 243 years ago(see Lost Canvas and Next Dimension). His final appearance was along with his fellow Gold Saints to break the Wailing Wall, as only the combined powers of the Twelve Gold Saints can break the wall because the Gold Cloths were being bathed in the sunlight for a long time. He told the Bronze Saints that Hades' true body was hiding in the Elysion. Upon the gathering of the combined powers of the 12 Gold Saints, the Wall of Lament was destroyed and opened the gateway to Elysion Field, but doing so cost the lives of all of the Gold Saints.
Power and abilitiesEditAs a Gold Saint, Dohko has mastered the 7th sense, giving him great strength and the ability to move at the speed of light. He also achieved the 8th sense so he could go to the Tartarus.
Dohko has shown some telekinetic abilities as well as telepathy. Although he only showed a few techniques during the story, it is implied that he can use all the techniques that Dragon Shiryu can (except Excalibur), since he taught him those techniques. Even so, the only techniques he has officially performed to date are:
- Rozan Hyakuryu Ha : Mount Lu One Hundred Dragons Force (廬山百龍覇, Rozanhyakuryūha): Dohko's ultimate attack. It takes the form of one hundred dragons.
- Note: in the Anime-only Asgard arc, he was shown using the Shoryuha in a flashback to his youth. As the Asgard arc doesn't exist in Kurumada's manga, Dohko's appearance in it differs from Kurumada's official design.
- Misopheta-menos: A gift from Athena herself. It slows down Dohko's metabolism in order to extend his life span for various generations.
Dohko's armor, the Gold Libra Cloth, contains 6 pairs of weapons to be used by the Gold Saints. Despite this, those weapons should not be used freely and it is up to the Libra Gold Saint to determine when they are needed. The weapons of Libra are 2 Swords, 2 Tonfas, 2 Lances, 2 Nunchuks, 2 Sansetsukons and 2 Shields. Each weapon is highly powerful, able to do things that even the combined power of several Gold Saints could not do..
Other mediaEdit
In the Heaven Arc Prologue his soul is sealed with the other Gold Saints when they talk to the gods and say they always be loyal to Athena. Although being sealed he would encourage Phoenix Ikki and Andromeda Shun to fight against the angel of Artemis.
Dohko also appears in Saint Seiya Episode G, but to date he has not a prominent role. In the games for PS2 Dohko is an available character and he can use the same techniques of his pupil Shiryu.
Cloth, constellation and TempleEdit
Dohko's guardian constellation is Libra, and his Gold Cloth represents it and its associated myth : The scales held by the goddess of justice Astraea . The temple he once guarded was known both in manga and the anime adaptation as Ten Bin Kyuu (天秤宮), the "Temple of the Scales."
As Masami Kurumada revealed in his sidestory prequel Saint Seiya Next Dimension, Dohko was originally a Bronze Saint and was awarded the Gold Saint status and the Libra constellation later. Thus, the original guardian constellation Dohko bore is yet to be revealed. He is also one of the main characters in the Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas sidestory prequel. Since the two prequel exclude each other, which one is canon is unknown.
Unlike most of the Saints, none of the attacks he uses takes the form of his constellation, but instead take on the form of a dragon, similar to Shiryu. Even more unusual is that his symbolic creature, seen when his draws his full power, is neither the Libra nor a dragon, but a tiger.
Masami Kurumada used in his manga the Chinese concept of the duality of the tiger and dragon, in his characters Dohko and Shiryu. That's the reason for tiger and dragon images that appear on their backs when they burn their Cosmo.
- Masami Kurumada took some creative liberty when designing the Libra Gold Cloth, as it includes weapons that did not exist in the time of the ancient Greeks. The swords, shields and the spears were commonplace in Greece. The tonfas, nunchaku and the setsukons originated in Asia, specifically Japan and China, a long time after Hellenic civilization had decayed, and thus were unknown to the ancient Greeks. As Kurumada has practiced martial arts since his youth, these Asian weapons mark an instance where the influence this has exerted in his various works is evident, as related elements and techniques can be found throughout them.
- In some translations of Kurumada's manga, the Chinese reading of the kanji that form Dohko's name, Tóng-Hǔ, is used instead of the Japanese reading, to relate the character to his country of origin.
- Also, Masami Kurumada added the tiger-dragon duality motif to the Libra Gold Cloth. The helmet of the Libra Gold Cloth closely resembles a tiger's head when the Cloth is not being worn (shaped in the style of Chinese and Japanese tigers found in old paintings).
- In the anime adaptation, Dohko's black hair color was modified to auburn.
- The experience of Dohko's rejuvenation can be concluded from Greek myth stories too which Heracles beat Geras(old age) and married Hebe(youth), if these deeds were assembled.

Comments about 18K White Gold Chamise Diamond Ring:
Although I personally picked this engagement ring out, my then boyfriend/now fiance, went above and beyond my expectations for the quality of ring that he got me. I have a promise ring which was actually a anniversary ring from Fred Meyer Jewelers and it is shaped perfectly to fit next to my engagement ring and the small diamonds on both of the rings go really well together. I'm hoping that my fiance will get the matching wedding band as well.

WDEL Blog: Eclectic Hobbies with Allan Loudell
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Radio hobbyists from across the continent (and even around the world) to converge on Plymouth Meeting, PA
I put this out on my hobby blog each year.
If you have an interest in almost any aspect of radio monitoring as a hobby (Shortwave, yes, but also long-distance A.M., F.M. & TV listening - DX'ing; scanning; satellite TV; pirate radio, and/or some amateur & CB radio), the biggest gathering in our region will take place March 1st--2nd at Plymouth Meeting. With the move from Kulpsville to Plymouth Meeting a few years ago, this annual fest is only 30---45 minutes from the Wilmington area; some people drive or fly in from hundreds of miles away. And we usually see DX'ers from other countries, such as Finland and Japan!
I'm afraid I'm not posting this in time for you to take advantage of the discounted registration fee, but if you'd really like to revive your oldtime radio hobby passio, I strongly encourage you to consider attending...

Apologize for jumping the thread, but when can we expect the first butterflies here in Delaware? I figured this was the place to come and ask. And, are the first ones out always the Cabbage White butterflies?
Allan Loudell
Thu, Feb 14, 2013 6:13am
See my blogs from last spring (below).
Last year, I saw a Cabbage White (actually a European invasive species) March 12th, about two or three weeks AHEAD of schedule.
But if you'll recall, our previous winter was comparatively mild.
More normally, our first butterflies would appear in late March or early April.
The key is getting a few weeks - sustained - where the overnight low temperatures don't fall below freezing.
In specialized habitat - such as at Nottingham County Park near the Herr's potato chip plant in Nottingham, Pennsylvania, and rarely at Lums Pond State Park - a beautiful little butterfly from the family of whites, the Falcate Orangetip, can appear at about the same time. Although as a practical matter, I almost always see Cabbage Whites, even common Sulphurs, emerge before I see Falcate Orangetips.
Another group of butterflies - the Anglewings (Question Marks, Eastern Commons) and particularly Mourning Cloaks - overwinter as adults (yes, butterfly hibernation!).
If we have a warm snap - with temperatures exceeding 70 degrees - they can emerge in the dead of winter! They certainly emerge in the early Spring.
If freezing temperatures kill most butterflies and moths in the adult stage of their life cycle, how do individuals of this species uniquely survive? First, these butterflies do seek refuge in cracks and crevices where it may be a couple of degrees warmer. But that would be insufficient over a long subfreezing period. The adult butterflies actually freeze (becoming "butterfly-sicles"), but their "blood" contains glycogens, anti-freezing agents.
But whereas the Question Marks, Commas, and Mourning Cloaks overwinter as adults, the Whites and Sulphurs will have overwintered in the pupal stage (chrysalis), or depending on climate zone, a caterpillar may have emerged from the egg at the first hint of tolerable sustained temperatures, chomped away at its foodplants in the Mustard family, then pupated.
As I've discussed previously on this blog, we also have a class of winter moths; many other species fly as soon as temperatures moderate.
And to tie this discussion back to the original topic, hobby radio, several international shortwave stations have issued attractive Q.S.L. cards featuring butterflies and moths over the years, for example, Radio Taiwan International when it was still the Voice of Free China or Radio Taipei International, as I recall.

Ahead Armor Fast Tom Case
View All Recently Viewed Items
A stylish, durable tom case with a unique teardrop design.
Ahead Armor Fast Tom Case
The Ahead Armor Fast Tom Case has some innovative features that are truly worth a detailed investigation. All of the cases have a heavy-duty, waterproof, 600 denier polyester exterior, complemented inside by their "DX-Core": two layers of high-impact foam padding and a soft interior lining of premium Sherpa Fleece. This combination offers the snugness and smaller dimensions of soft cases, while still retaining the resistance and strength of hard plastic cases.Another great feature can be found by looking at the shape of the cases themselves: they are designed to hold not just the drum, but the mounted hardware as well; no need to shove your expensive drum into a case that just doesn't quite fit. Finally, Ahead Armor Cases has made it easier than ever to get your drum in and out of its case with the 'Dynazip' zipper. The cutaway design allows the top and bottom of the case to completely separate, eliminating tight squeezes and vacuum effects.Multiple sizes available.

Intestinal obstruction repair
Intestinal obstruction repair is surgery to relieve a bowel obstruction. A bowel obstruction is when the contents of the intestines cannot pass through and exit the body. A complete obstruction is a surgical emergency.
See also:
Alternative Names
Repair of volvulus; Paralytic ileus - repair; Intestinal volvulus - repair; Bowel obstruction - repair; Ileus - repair
Intestinal obstruction repair is done while you are under general anesthesia. This makes you unconscious and unable to feel pain.
The surgeon makes an incision (cut) in your belly to expose your intestines. Then the surgeon locates the area of your intestine (also called "bowel") that is blocked. The blockage will be freed.
Any injured sections of your bowel will be repaired or removed. If a section is removed, the healthy ends will be reconnected with stitches. Sometimes when part of the intestine is removed, the ends cannot be reconnected. If this happens, the surgeon will bring one end out through an opening in the abdominal wall. This is called a colostomy or an ileostomy.
The surgeon will also check the blood flow to the rest of the bowel.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
This procedure is done to relieve a bowel obstruction, or blockage. A blockage that lasts for a long time can restrict blood flow to part of the bowel, which can cause the bowel to die.
Surgery is often needed to treat a bowel obstruction. The type of surgery that is done depends on the cause of the obstruction.
Risks for any surgery include:
- Blood clots in the legs that may travel to the lungs
- Breathing problems
- Heart attack or stroke
- Infection, including in the lungs, urinary tract, and belly
Other risks of abdominal surgery include:
- Bleeding inside your belly
- Bowel leakage
- Bowel obstruction after surgery
- Damage to nearby organs in the body
- Formation of scar tissue (adhesions)
- More scar tissue forming in your belly and causing a blockage of your intestines in the future
- Opening of the edges of your intestines that are sewn together (anastomotic leak), which may cause life-threatening problems
- Problems with colostomy or ileostomy
- Temporary paralysis (freezing up) of the bowel (paralytic ileus)
- Wound (incision) infection
- Wound opening up (dehiscence)
After the Procedure
The time it takes to recover from bowel obstruction surgery depends on the type of operation that was done to correct the obstruction, and the person's general health.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome is usually good if the obstruction is treated before tissue damage or death occurs in the bowel.
People who have had many abdominal surgeries may form scar tissue. These patients are more likely to have bowel obstructions in the future.

Do you wonder if your body has grown since last night, if you still fit into your pants and how much you will weigh when you step on the scale?
One or all of these thoughts can create a never-ending nightmare that can swirl through the minds of anyone who struggles with an eating disorder, disordered eating and/or body image dissatisfaction.
Two of the most prominent eating disorders are Anorexia and Bulimia. Anorexia Nervosa is the refusal to maintain a minimal weight, the fear of weight gain and a distorted perception of ones body image.
Bulimia Nervosa involves distorted body image, binge eating (eating a large amount of food in a short period of time and feeling a loss of control) and the use of compensatory methods (i.e. self-induced vomiting, overexercising, laxative abuse) to eliminate the effects of the binge.
Eating disorders such as these can also cause numerous psychological and physical complications and can ultimately result in death.
One does not have to meet all of the aforementioned criteria for these disorders in order to be struggling with an eating disturbance that impedes ones ability to function. Furthermore, body image dissatisfaction can be a significant problem in itself.
When a student is troubled with ongoing obsessions and preoccupations about eating patterns, exercise, body image and/or weight, he or she is being taken away from things that are important to him or her.
Relationships and academics are often negatively affected because eating disturbances can cause the sufferer to avoid social interaction and can create significant concentration deficits.
The rumor has been that St Olaf has more students who struggle with eating disorders than on any other local campus.
Although the rumor is not accurate, it may seem true because eating disorders remain a serious issue on this campus, just as on other campuses.
It is estimated that one in four female college students have disordered eating or an eating disorder and one to seven percent of male students suffer from eating disorders.
The college environment can be a breeding ground for eating disorders due to the ongoing stressors including academic pressures and rigors.
Other pressures include attempts to reach self-expectations, as well as the expectations of others, efforts to get into a specific social network, athletics or adjusting to independence. Not only that, but finding the right romantic partner, trying to prevent body change and balancing social life, extracurricular activities and family life into daily functioning contribute to stress.
Moreover, Western culture (and many believe St. Olaf culture) sets ideals for beauty that are unrealistic for the majority of people. For some, disordered eating can become an attempt to reach an ideal image, cope with pressure and manage difficult emotions.
Eating disorders can develop in anyone and are not a sign of weakness or failure.
While participating in counseling, a student wrote this letter to her Bulimia: You no longer run my life, you no longer make me insecure, you no longer dim my bright times, you no longer ruin my fun, and you no longer make me moody. You no longer make me hide; you no longer make me scared.
She continues: You still nag at me once in a while, but I am strong and I know you are not a friend, but a deceiver. Eating does not solve my problems, bingeing does not help me understand, and purging is not going to make the stress go away.
Her letter concludes: Separating myself from those I love so I can spend time with you is not fulfilling. It does make me full, but when I throw up, I am empty again the comfort of the highness is quickly gone and replaced with hurt, even more confusion and emptiness. I am now becoming strong through facing my fears head on and dealing with my problems.
If you or someone you care about is struggling with an eating disorder, there is help available on campus. If someone is ready to seek help, the counseling center is a free, confidential resource that will collaborate with the student to help fight against the eating disorder, body image dissatisfaction or disordered eating. The center provides counseling, nutritional consultation and/or psychiatric consultation.

Diabetes Drug Company Novo Nordisk has become the latest company to suspend or end deals with Savannah chef and businesswoman Paula Deen. Deen signed a controversial deal with Novo Nordisk shortly after learning she herself had been diagnosed with a form of Diabetes. The company says in a statement they may reconsider a deal with Deen in the future.
Statement from Novo Nordisk regarding Paula Deen
"Novo Nordisk and Paula Deen have mutually agreed to suspend our patient education activities for now, while she takes time to focus her attention where it is needed. Novo Nordisk would like to acknowledge Paula's involvement in our Diabetes in a New Light™ campaign, where she has helped make many people aware of type 2 diabetes and the lifestyle changes needed to control this serious disease."
Meanwhile retailers Wal-Mart and Home Depot have also separated themselves from Paula Deen Enterprises. Wal-Mart said in a statement that they would not stock Deen's line of cookware and home products beyond the current order.
(AP) Smithfield Foods says they are dropping Paula Deen as spokesperson. The announcement Monday came days after the Food Network said it would not renew Deen's contract. Deen admitted using racial slurs in the past in a deposition that came to light last week in a discrimination lawsuit.
In a statement, Smithfield said it "condemns the use of offensive and discriminatory language and behavior of any kind."
Deen was scheduled to appear on NBC's "Today" show on Wednesday, according to host Matt Lauer. Last week she abruptly canceled on the morning show.
While questioned last month in a discrimination lawsuit, the 66-year-old Food Network star admitted to using the N-word in the past, but she insisted she and her family do not tolerate prejudice.
The Food Network says it will not renew the contract of celebrity chef Paula Deen, days after it was revealed she admitted using racial slurs in the past. The network said in a news release Friday afternoon that it would not renew Deen's contract when it expires at the end of the month.
Deen has built an empire from her television shows, cookbooks and product endorsements. The Food Network began airing "Paula's Home Cooking" in 2002 and added "Paula's Best Dishes" in 2008. Deen admitted while being questioned as part of a lawsuit that she had used racial slurs in the past. The network's announcement came just hours after she posted a video online apologizing for her past mistakes.
June 26th, WAVE-TV reported Caesars Entertainment Corporation announced it will not renew the corporation's business relationship with Paula Deen Enterprises.
Sunday, published reports by TMZ and US Weekly stated that Deen's contract with QVC may also be in question. Deen often appears on the home sales network to showcase her line of cookware. Reports say the network has not officially ended the relationship, however they 'do not have any immediate plans' to have her appear. In a statement released to WSAV.com the company confirmed:
"QVC shares the concerns being raised around the unfortunate Paula Deen situation. QVC does not tolerate discriminatory behavior. We are closely monitoring these events and the ongoing litigation. We are reviewing our business relationship with Ms. Deen, and in the meantime, we have no immediate plans to have her appear on QVC." - Paul Capelli, Vice President, Corporate Communications, QVC, Inc.
In a video statement, Deen stated "Please forgive me for the mistakes I have made". The full video statement, released Friday by her team, has now been taken down from the Internet. NBC News obtained a copy before the video was removed. Shortly after 4pm Friday, a different, much longer video of Deen was published to her YouTube channel.
"I want to apologize to everybody for the wrong that I've done I want to learn and grow from this …inappropriate hurtful language is totally is totally unacceptable…I've made plenty of mistakes along the way but I beg you my children my team my fans my partners I beg for your forgiveness…please forgive me for the mistakes that I have made."
In a statement late Friday, Caesars Entertainment, owner of Harras Casinos made this statement: "Paula Deen has acknowledged using a racial slur in the past. As a company with a longstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion, Caesars Entertainment is deeply disturbed by what we are reading in the press and strongly object to any use of racial epithets. We will continue to monitor the situation." -Gary Thompson Director of Corporate Communications Caesars Entertainment Corporation
Paula Deen has a marketing agreement with the Caesars Entertainment, as well as a restaurant inside one of their properties.
Previous Article:
Multiple published reports from RADAR online and United Press International say celebrity chef and Savannah star Paula Deen admitted to making racially insensitive comments and jokes. The statements were allegedly made during a deposition given May 17th for a pending lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, a former employee. Jackson is a Savannah resident.
Deen was scheduled to appear on NBC's Today Show Friday, but failed to appear on Set, hosts said. Deen did arrive in New York, but reportedly did not leave her room for the network television appearance.
Statement from Attorney Bill Franklin: "Contrary to media reports. Ms. Deen does not condone or find the use of racial epithets acceptable. She is looking forward to her day in court."
According to a published report from UPI.com: "Deen, 66, said she used the N-word and wanted black waiters to dress and act as slaves at a wedding party she was planning. She was questioned for three hours during a hearing for a $1.2 million lawsuit filed in 2012. -
NEW: Read all of the court documents as obtained by the Huffington Post at the bottom of this article.
The lawsuit covers the claims of Lisa Jackson, former general manager of Deen's Savannah restaurant. Jackson said that Deen used the N-word habitually. The suit also alleges sexual harassment, infliction of distress and assault by Deen's brother, Bubba Hiers.
In court, Jackson's attorney asked Deen whether she used the N-word.
"Yes, of course," Deen responded. She followed with examples of their use, and defended the types of racist jokes she told.
"It's just what they are -- they're jokes," Deen said. "Most jokes are about Jewish people, rednecks, black folks…I can't determine what offends another person."
Deen said she didn't think the slave costumes were offensive, either, as they were part of a Civil War-themed event. She got the idea from a restaurant she and her husband visited."
WSAV.com spoke with sources close to Deen who say the Food Network star is here in Savannah and "this situation is crazy, but she is doing well".
Rainbow PUSH Investigates Deen: (Press Release 6/21)
"The Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, a not for profit civil right and human rights organization founded by Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr. has sent Attorney Robert Patillo to investigate recent claims of racial discrimination, sexual harassment and target area harassment by Food Network Chef Paula Deen and associates in the Savannah.
A lawsuit filed in Federal Court has laid out allegations that Mrs. Deen along with family members and management participated in racial and sexual harassment. During her sworn deposition Mrs. Deen admitted to having used "The N-word" and also her desire to have an Ante-bellum slavery themed wedding party.
Several current and former employees have reported that Mrs. Deen and her family members have physically assaulted a black employee, referred to employees as "The N-word," failed to promote black employees to management positions and further created a hostile work environment. Attorney Janice L. Mathis, VP of Rainbow PUSH indicates that the organization "will take a closer look at Paula Deen's company to determine whether the allegations are credible, and if so, do they constitute a widespread pattern or practice of illegal exclusion. It may also be relevant to determine whether the company has any state or federal contracts. We are not making any assumptions about these very serious charges, but we are investigating and will report our findings publicly.
Attorney Patillo will be in Savannah to speak with individuals associated with the case as to determine what further actions may be needed. Further, Mr. Patillo will be meeting with Civil and Human rights organizations to create a plan of action if such is deemed necessary."
