What causes vomiting blood? 23 possible conditions
Viewing 1 - 20 of 23 results
Vomiting Blood Overview
Vomiting blood (hematemesis) is the regurgitation of stomach contents mixed with blood, or the regurgitation of blood only. Vomiting blood sounds jarring, but in some cases, it may be triggered by minor causes such as swallowing blood from a mouth injury or from a nosebleed. Vomiting blood may also be caused by more serious conditions such as internal injuries or an organ rupture.
Regurgitated blood may appear brown, dark red, or bright red in color. Brown blood often resembles coffee grains when vomited.
If you vomit a large amount of blood, or if you vomit blood in conjunction with dizziness or changes in breathing, call 911 immediately.
Why Does Vomiting Blood Occur?
There are many causes of vomiting blood. They range in severity from minor to major and are normally the result of an injury or illness.
Vomiting blood may be caused by minor conditions such as:
- esophagus irritation
- nosebleeds
- swallowing blood
- tear in the esophagus due to chronic coughing
Other common causes of vomiting blood include:
- stomach ulcers
- aspirin side effects
- gastritis
- non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen) side effects
- pancreatitis
More serious causes of vomiting blood include:
- alcoholic hepatitis
- cirrhosis
- esophageal cancer
- erosion of the stomach lining
- pancreatic cancer
Children may also experience vomiting blood. This is usually caused by:
- swallowing a foreign object
- swallowing blood
- birth defect
All instances of vomiting blood should be reported to your doctor.
Symptoms That Accompany Vomiting Blood
Several symptoms may be present along with vomiting blood. These symptoms include, but are not limited to:
- nausea
- abdominal discomfort
- abdominal pain
- vomiting stomach contents
Vomiting blood can indicate a serious medical emergency. If you experience any of the following symptoms call 911:
- dizziness
- blurred vision
- changes in heartbeat
- changes in breathing
- cold skin
- clammy skin
- confusion
- fainting
- severe abdominal pain
- vomiting blood after an injury
Do not drive yourself to the doctor. Call 911.
At the Doctors
There are many potential health issues that could cause you to vomit blood. To come to a diagnosis, your doctor will begin by asking you questions about your symptoms, and whether or not you were recently injured.
Your doctor may order an imaging test to look inside your body. Imaging scans reveal abnormalities in the body such as ruptured organs or abnormal growths. Common imaging tests used for these purposes are:
- CT scan (computed tomography scan)
- Endoscopy (looking into your stomach with a tube passed through your mouth)
- ultrasound
- X-ray
- MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
Your doctor may wish to do an upper endoscopy to look for blood in the stomach. This procedure is done when you are sedated. Your doctor will place a small, flexible tube into your nostril or your mouth and down into stomach and small intestine. A fiber optic camera in the tube allows your doctor to see the contents of your stomach and examine you internally.
A blood sample may be taken to check your complete blood count. This helps to assess the amount of blood lost. Additional tests may be ordered based on your blood count result.
How Is Vomiting Blood Treated?
Depending on the amount of blood lost, you may need a blood transfusion. A blood transfusion replaces your lost blood with donor blood. The blood is fed into your vein through an intravenous (IV) line.
You might also require fluid to be given through an IV to rehydrate your body. Your doctor may provide you with medication to stop vomiting or to decrease stomach acid. If you have an ulcer, your doctor will prescribe medications to treat it. In severe cases, surgery may be needed. Such severe cases may include a bleeding ulcer or internal injuries.
If certain foods may increase the likelihood of vomiting blood, your doctor will devise a special diet geared to decrease this risk.
Complications of Vomiting Blood
Choking is the main complication of vomiting blood. Depending on the cause, vomiting blood may cause additional health complications.
Anemia is a deficiency of healthy red blood cells and is another complication of excessive bleeding, particularly when the blood loss is rapid and sudden.
Vomiting blood caused by excessive bleeding can also lead to shock. The following symptoms are indicators of shock:
- dizziness upon standing
- rapid breathing
- shallow breathing
- low urine output
- cold, pale skin
If not treated immediately, shock can lead to a decrease in blood pressure followed by coma and death. If you experience any symptoms of shock, have someone take you to the emergency room or call 911.

Best Answer
In a free market economy, the producers of products determine social needs through the use of market signals. The most common of these signals is demand for products. It is often easily visible by what is known as demand-pull inflation, increases in the price of wanted goods due to a lack of supply and the purchaser's willingness to pay more for the product to guarantee himself access to it. This sends a signal to producers of the good that they can maximize their profits by allocating further resources to producing the good being demanded as opposed to other possible products.
As production increases, the price level of the product in question ultimately settles at a new equilibrium point (the point at which supply equals demand) and both consumers and producers are content.
When goods compete, these signals determine which product 'survives', as with VHS/BetaMAX and HD-DVD/Blu-Ray. The more heavily demanded good acquires more market share until it is unprofitable to manufacture the less heavily demanded good and ultimately it is phased out. As actors in an economy will undoubtedly pursue the better of products, this encourages innovation and development of new and better products to compete with those that currently dominate the market landscape.
Production is pursued in a manner which ensures the least waste and maximizes efficiency, as to therefore maximize profit. The consumers, those for whom the goods are produced, are catered to by the producers, and are generally anyone who has goods/currency to exchange for the products they desire.

I've entrusted Brent in refinancing properties, buying a primary residence and investment properties. He's extremely knowledgeable regarding the process and helpful throughout, and as a mortgage broker he was able to search several lenders rates/pricing to ensure we received the best financing. Choosing to work with him over and over again is the best testimony I can provide.
When we first contacted a realtor, we were told to contact a mortgage broker for our pre-approval, our realtor referred Brent. It's easy to see why Brent comes so highly recommended. He is very responsive, thorough in his description of the process and we were really impressed in how he monitored the markets to help us with guidance on when to correctly lock in our loan. If you're looking for a Mortgage Broker in Portland, OR….I highly recommend Brent.
Brent went above and beyond to find us a VA loan that was willing to let us borrow more than the standard amount. I really doubt any other mortgage broker would have put in the extra effort to find this loan. Brent is highly professional and ethical. He took the time to educate us on every aspect of the mortgage process, kept us constantly updated, and reviewed all paperwork with us. I wholeheartedly recommend you use Brent Borcherding as your mortgage broker.
I live in Bend, but we were referred Brent as a great Mortgage Broker in Portland to help us with the financing on an investment property.
As a broker, Brent was able to search several different sources for the best financing (I.e. Lowest rates) for our situation. We own multiple properties and we've worked with several lenders but Brent's thorough explanation of how pricing changes with every lender on a daily basis, helped us understand how working with a true mortgage broker meant we would undoubtedly get paired with the best rates on the day we needed them.
He managed the process, was always available and made sure that our transaction went smoothly. We not only would but have referred several people to Brent.
We worked with Brent long distance while moving from California to Portland, Or. He was well informed, efficient and always available to talk when we had a question. It was a positive, straight forward experience
When my wife and I bought our most recent home, we worked with Brent from the initial planning period where we discussed down payment, closing costs and budgeting so that we were prepared before we even started looking for a new home.
Since he is a true mortgage broker, when the time came he searched several lenders on our behalf to find the best rates and helped to ensure the loan process was managed easily throughout.
I've worked with him on multiple occasions now and I absolutely plan on doing so again in the future.

The Craftsy Team's Crafty Classic Cowls!
Have you seen the Classic Cabled Cowl Workshop from Sheila Z?
We LOVE this project! The whole time that we were talking to Sheila and working to get the workshop coded and onto the site, we were thinking about yarn, needles, and buttons!
As soon as the workshop launched, FOUR Craftsy team members (Sara, Kirsten, Rachel, and Lisa) all got in the car and took an educational field trip to our local yarn shop, Fancy Tiger Crafts. They picked out gorgeous yarns (Spud & Chloe Outer and Cascade Magnum) and found their needles and sat down to get started.
The yarns. L to R: Kirsten and Rachel's Spud & Chloe and Lisa's Magnum.
Here's cutie pie Dan winding the yarn.
Emily and Jaime getting everybody sorted out at the counter.
It's been so fun to see everyone's cowls come together. We've even had a knitting lunch where we talked through the workshop & showed each other some stitches. We also went to a knit night at the local library to get some co-crafting time in. Lisa has already posted her FO pic! Here's her daughter Sara in the Magnum version…I love the contrasting buttons on this one!
And here's Kirsten's Spud & Chloe FO…really cute! I've seen this on in person, and the color is so perfect on her.Of the original four Cowl Club members, three have finished! We're still waiting on an FO pic from Rachel (hi Rach!) And here's Sara's cowl so far…she ran into a big of a snag on hers and had to rip back. We've all been there!!
As we keep seeing more and more FO pics from the workshop on the site, AND more cowls around the office, even MORE of us are starting cowls.
Here's Nicole in hers:
(I personally love the way she did her buttons and am so copying that!)
And here's me with my yarn:
Jenn will be next to cast on, I can see it in her eyes!
We keep hearing Craftsy members say that they love our classes because they can take them with their long-distance friends and relatives. They can all be on the site at the same time, watching the same spot of the course, and really experiencing the whole thing together…and the same is true of the workshops!
We've found that knitting through this workshop together has been a fun (I'm gonna say it!) team-builder, and a nice little (friendly) office competition! I'd better get to work on mine, before Jenn finds yarn and finishes before I do!
(Look for more cowl updates in the future!)

Love the color Stephanie picked! It's so much fun seeing "behind the scene" pics, too! Keep up the great Craftsy work!
I love these! Do you have workshops here in Houston? I would love to learn to do cables, but don't do too well reading patterns…
So encouraging to see that other knitters from time to time have to 'tink,' or knit backwards. Thanks for the great website, and Happy New Year!
Just finished knitting a hat. I plan to start on a matching cowl. Any specific pattern?
Love the tomato colored cowl, is this pattern available to purchase? I saw the $15.99 and assumed that was for the class, am I correct? Thank you.

Customer Reviews:
Rated 4.4 out of 5�by 20 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by no nick name power tower pull up handles should be a single bar, as handles are a little too separate for narrow bodies. The ab seat and especially the arm rests are a little too high for medium to short people, or at least there should be a "pigeon stool" (foot stand) closer to center to be able to reach better the arm rests and person does not have to lounge backwards to reach back rest; causing tower to tilt slightly backwards when engaging. The small bars at bottom are confusing as one those not know if they are foot stands (as I use them for) or push up station. September 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by lozryde Second to none Top of the line workout equipment. Strong & sturdy. While using own body weight, which means? If stop working out for any reason; the definition & muscles built won't leave the building August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by John Almost perfect Love this piece of equipment! Only issue I have with it is the width between the arm pads. I feel they could be a inch or two closer together. I'm 5'10" and I have to put my arms on the very inner edge when doing leg lifts and it's not the most comfortable on the edge. If my 5' wife were to try they would be way too far apart. Over all it's great though. Sturdy and not as big as you'd think it would be. July 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by emills1970 Good product Bought this power tower for my husband and he loves it. Good price and easy to assemble. July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by aaaa Very well built Well built and easy to assemble. Took ten minutes to put together. July 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Kreetch20 product seems to be good delivery of initial unit was all damaged. The customer service rep was great and shipped new one in 2 days - the local staff was very helpful to resolve situation and took back first unit. June 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Chooseanickname Good product A quick set-up despite the help from my three young sons. Instructions were a bit sparse and set-up would have been faster had the legs been labeled at all (left/right or front/back). There was a buzz of ratchets and clang of wrenches until we realized the back legs were angled the wrong way. Then even more buzzing and clanging to reverse and complete. Tower also works as an exercise band station. June 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by 5584 Solid and Sturdy Price was right on this product. Purchased primarily to work abs . 1 hour to assemble, not difficult. Good value. May 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Tony Great, simple, versatile workout station! I live using The Power Tower! It's sturdy, high-quality construction gives me confidence that the station won't bend, break, or tip over. May 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Matt Definitely recommend The tower has accomplished exactly what I had hoped. Easy assembly and very stable April 29, 2014

Stepping out for some sibling bonding, Pippa Middleton and her brother James showed up at the Wimbledon Tennis Championship Tournament in London, England today (June 26).
The 30-year-old socialite looked gorgeous in a snazzy Carolina Herrera summer dress with a white blazer and a Matryoshka clutch as she strolled alongside her handsome brother.
We can't wait to see Pippa Middleton's interview with Matt Lauer next week, but in the meantime we snagged a few quotes from her one-on-one regarding her royal sister Kate.
Scoring a major story, Matt Lauer revealed that he conducted Pippa Middleton's first televised interview.
The Duchess of Cambridge's 30-year-old sister agreed to sit down with the "Today" host for the chit chat, which airs in a two-part special on Monday (June 30) and Tuesday (July 1).
Showing her philanthropic side, Pippa Middleton has signed up to join a cycling team on a 3000+ mile ride across America.
The beautiful Brit will bike from Oceanside, California to Annapolis, Maryland beginning Saturday (June 14) as part of Race Across America with her brother James and friend James Matthews.
Helping her sister with a few errands, Pippa Middleton picked up Kate's pooch in London on Wednesday (June 11).
The brunette beauty rocked a sporty ensemble as she picked up the Duchess' dog Lupo at a boarding spot in the British town.
Ever since her sister Katemarried Prince William three years ago, Pippa Middleton has been known for having a pert posterior thanks to her well-fitting bridesmaid dress.
Turning heads with her impeccable style, Pippa Middleton attended a friend's wedding on Tuesday (April 29) in Perthshire, Scotland.
Gorgeous in a pale green coat and matching hat, the British beauty headed inside the church accompanied by her boyfriend Nico Jackson and her parents.
Taking care of her to-do list, Pippa Middleton showed up on the streets of the West London neighborhood of Chelsea on Wednesday morning (April 16).
The lovely English socialite donned a blue coat with a black blouse and grey skinny jeans as she ran some errands and picked up a few items while shutterbugs looked on.

If you follow me on twitter then I am sure you got tired of me talking about our vacation to Disney World. It was the first time for all of us and we had a blast. Although I do wish I started training for the trip in advance. I simply had no idea. Here is a short recap of our trip...
KJ's Favorite part was getting to meet Buzz Lightyear. "To infinity and beyond" has now become part of his daily speech. He really can fit it into any circumstance. It's a hoot.
Ellie's favorite part was doing the princess experience in the castle. We surprised her. They decked her out like a princess head to toe. She then got to meet a bunch of princesses and she was in high heaven.
My favorite part was getting to spend some much needed time with the Mr. Oh, and the food was amazing too. I am now in need of a detox. This friend is going to help me.
* Today I am also on Mrs. French.

First I'd grasp your virgin nape
And pull you in for a passionate union
Like fine silk, your hair will flow through my fingertips.
Soon finding their way south,
Removing everything in their way.
Skin so smooth it's frictionless,
My fingers would glide effortlessly across the contours of your body.
The excitement surges through us the closer we get;
Increasing our heartbeats to a low drone,
Making our steady hands clumsily shake,
Replacing logic with instinct.
Our lips part with haste,
As if there were no time for anything else.
But as quick as they parted,
my lips found new skin to familiarize; your neck, your collarbone, your chest, your stomach..
Reaching its final stop deferred
Fragrant orifice rosy with jubilation
Meets my lips with a jolt
Which subsides into a purr
A slight trill in reply to the stroke of my tongue
The urges amplify with every touch
Sending echoes of desire and pleasure
In a state of hysteria
Our bodies loose all control
need and want become one
And so do we

In accordance with the mission of the Ponce School of Medicine to provide for the education of individuals to become competent physicians with social and community awareness, who will contribute to the health and well being of society, the Department of Surgery aims to provide the students with the basic knowledge in general surgery and the surgical specialties necessary to achieve this goal. In addition, the Department of Surgery strives to develop in the medical student the interpersonal skills, professional attitudes and educational attitudes essential to utilize the acquired knowledge for the benefit and well being of the Puerto Rican society.
Since the majority of the medical students will probably become primary physicians and/or will pursue other medical specialties, the clinical clerkship in surgery will be the only in-depth exposure to the surgical treatment of disease in a tertiary institution for these students. Through interaction with competent surgeons in the Operating Room, the Emergency Room and in the management of in-patients and ambulatory patients, the student should become familiar with the most common surgical procedures including the preoperative evaluation and the postoperative course.
Through this exposure, the student should be better prepared to identify surgical conditions in his patient and to adequately refer the patient for surgical treatment when such treatment is to contribute to the patient's well being.

Using electronic games for the greater good
8th annual 'Games For Change' festival reveals creative way to solve environmental problems.
Sat, Jun 25, 2011 at 01:43 PM
Photo courtesy G4C
On June 20, 2011, former Vice President Al Gore delivered the keynote address at the "Games for Change" (G4C) festival at New York University. Games for Change, a non-profit dedicated to supporting games that have a positive social impact, hosted the two-day festival which was streamed live and can be seen here.
Mr. Gore called games "the new normal" and harped upon the great potential that they have to help educate our citizens about important issues. He then called on attendees to help him create a game to share the message of his documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth."
Many of the games mentioned in the conference had environmental themes. A Facebook game called Ecotopia correlates actions in the game to those in the real world. For example, a tree planted in the game results in a tree being planted in real life.
Silvia Lovato, head of "PBS Kids Go! Interactive," discussed a PBS game called "Milltown" which teaches kids about early 20th century industrialization. They explained that games offered a unique opportunity to reach out to a younger demographic.
The winning game from nearly 5,000 entries in the festival's competition was an iPhone app called "Commons," which encourages teams to report aspects of public spaces in New York City that they would like to see fixed as well as places that they enjoy. Other players vote and give feedback on their suggestions which earns them points. As you advance in the game, you unlock different parts of the city to explore.
"Gamification" is the term that was used often in the conference to describe the growing demand for educating through games. While educational games such as MathBlaster and companies such as The Learning Company were quite popular in my childhood during the '90s, the momentum for a wide variety of games with social impact appears to be accelerating among young developers and spurred on by 21st century improvements in technology and a changing culture regarding social responsibility.
Gary White, co-founder of Water.org said, "Your life should be about finding the intersection of the world's greatest need and your greatest passion," and that's exactly what participants in Game for Change have done.

Friday at L P Frans Stadium was a clinic in how errors can beat you no matter how well you play offensively. The young Hickory Crawdads team will do well to remember this game for the terrible feeling it left them with and the desire to not repeat issues that caused it to occur.
The 9-4 loss to the Asheville Tourists, the affiliate of the Colorado Rockies could have ended differently. The Crawdads bats were alive most of the night with a mighty 13 hits. Yet they weren't the only ones who were batting as the Tourists were able to get 11 hits.

The iPad has previously been running on the iOS 3.2.2, noticeably lacking some valuable features of the iPhone. iPad stands to see the biggest improvements from the introduction of the 4.2 update. However, the iPad is not the only Apple platform, which will see benefits from the update. And the update also includes some new features, which will be available on all Apple devices, including the iPhone 3G, 3GS and 4. It will also work on all generations of every iTouch bar the first.
The 4.2 update will tweak the operating system of the iPad so that it gives a higher, smoother level of performance, more on par with it's iPhone cousins.
The iPad will also receive third-party multitasking, drag-and-drop application organization, threaded email messages, fast-app switching, face/place photo tagging, and wireless application distribution. These additions are regarded by some as overdue and will be welcomed by iPad users. It might also encourage more people to buy this product now that its performance is up to scratch with other Apple products.
Although the iPad already had VPN protocols the 4.2 update will enable SSL VPN, an asset for business clients who want to securely connect to their office. Unified email will also improve business users' experience. And there are internal management features that allow he iPads to be better secured.
Due to the iPad's larger size there are some features of the 4.2 update that only pertain to it. The iPad will get a brightness slider in the multitasking bar. There is also the option to select photo size settings in Mail messages.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We transferred from out of state and had low expectations due to the very high quality education we had previously experienced and reviews of Hobb's schools. Stone has been excellent both academically and socially. The teachers are great and the principal is amazing. Test scores are high because the students are encouraged to learn and grow. Stone has a unique art program that is sponsored by the parent teacher association- PIE. The parents and teachers are so involved in the school and it is a very welcoming environment. My kids really love going here and have learned a lot. I definitely recommend Stone over all other K-5's in Hobbs or surrounding areas. You will be pleasantly shocked at its wonderfulness!
Both of my children have attended this school since kindergarten. The principal is second to none. He truly cares about each student and wants them to succeed and tries to give them every tool they need to do so. The parents are very involved at Stone which is great to see. The vast majority of teachers here are excellent. LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!
As a former teacher at Stone, I can assure you that the principal and staff truly care about the students in this school. I loved every minute of teaching here -- great kids, great staff, great principal!
Both of my children have attended Stone since kindergarten. I personally believe there is not a better school in New Mexico. The staff is wonderful. They truly love the students and help prepare them academically, emotionally, socially, and behaviorally for the future. Stone deserves an award for being OUTSTANDING!!
the school has a no talking rule in the morning while waiting to go to class. if they do they get yelled at by staff. principle more concerned about shirts tucked in than how kids feel or how they are doing.
I am very pleased with the education my child has received from Stone Elementary. The Principal and staff are all very supportive.
This school has a great Principal and very supportive Teachers. My son has enjoyed this school for the last 5 years.

While we have seen similar photographic projects to the Skin Deep series by French photographer Julien Palast, there's something about the execution of these vibrant images that lingers in our mind's eye long after first viewing them. The beautiful silhouettes of male and female forms are created from a shrink-wrapped effect set on arrays of gradient colour that works to both reveal and conceal simultaneously. The series entices the viewer to gaze on human forms in fresh ways, perhaps inspiring budding photographers to get creative with shrink-wrap styles themselves- although at It's Nice That HQ, we obviously don't endorse any impromptu and spontaneous trips to the kitchen draw to wrap unsuspecting friends in cling film for that "perfect" shot!

Legislative News
Colorado on its way to collect online sales tax
The Colorado Statesman
The General Assembly is close to finding a way to collect hundreds of millions of dollars in sales tax that Colorado consumers don't pay when they buy from certain online retailers.
In the past week, the House and Senate have worked on three bills that would put Colorado in a position to simplify its tax structure and make it part of a federal solution to the online sales tax dilemma.
Anti-discrimination bill roils up small businesses
The Colorado Statesman
Small business owners and the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) are pinning their last best hope on killing an anti-discrimination bill with Gov. John Hickenlooper. But the bill's Senate sponsor believes otherwise.
On Tuesday, Tony Gagliardi, Colorado state director for NFIB, assembled several small business owners and legislators to make his case for a veto on House Bill 13-1136. The bill removes an exemption from discrimination lawsuits for businesses with 15 or fewer employees. HB 1136 was sent to the governor last Friday.
Colorado ASSET bill deemed a real asset to state's undocumented students (finally!)
The Colorado Statesman
Moments after cheers of "Sí, se puede!" — "Yes, we can!" — filled a packed hall on the Auraria campus on Monday, Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law a bill to provide in-state tuition rates to undocumented students at state colleges and universities, capping a decade-long effort to pass the legislation.
"Holy smokes," Hickenlooper said to the hundreds of students, educators, immigration-rights activists and business leaders as he took the stage at the signing ceremony. "Are you guys fired up?"
Republican legislators storm out of House
The Colorado Statesman
A near midnight-hour debate Friday on taxing marijuana turned into a House kerfuffle when majority Democrats interrupted remarks by Republican Rep. Bob Gardner of Colorado Springs in order to save 13 bills on the calendar, causing the GOP to storm out of the chamber in protest.
Highs and lows with pot bills
Legislators weed through bills amidst speculation about repeal
The Colorado Statesman
There were extreme highs and lows this week as the legislature began debating three bills aimed at regulating and taxing the budding recreational marijuana industry in Colorado, while also contemplating offering voters a crack at repealing the constitutional amendment that legalized cannabis just last November.
House rifles through final gun legislation
The Colorado Statesman
The great legislative gun debate of 2013 has nearly concluded, with a less than explosive ending to one of the most controversial policy issues facing the legislature this year.
The House on Monday voted 36-28, with one lawmaker excused, backing Senate Bill 197, which would require domestic violence offenders and people with restraining orders to surrender their firearms. Reps. Beth McCann, D-Denver, and Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, and Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster, sponsored the measure.
General Assembly gets down to business
The Colorado Statesman
The legislature this week debated several bills aimed at the business community, covering controversial topics including workplace discrimination and unemployment benefits during a lockout.
House Bill 1136, sponsored by Sens. Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, and Lucia Guzman, D-Denver, and Reps. Claire Levy, D-Boulder, and Joe Salazar, D-Thornton, would allow plaintiffs in discrimination lawsuits against smaller companies to seek greater payouts.
Water issues flow in this year's legislative stream
The Colorado Statesman
The 2013 legislative session has been the busiest in recent years on the issue of water, particularly on how the state can conserve in a time of drought.
The work for the 2013 legislators began last summer, with the annual interim water resources review committee. The group of 10 legislators traveled the state last summer and fall, hearing about water conservation and legal issues on water rights. The end result was a recommendation for eight measures for 2013: two joint resolutions and six bills. Three other proposed bills were not approved by the entire com-mittee, but members of the committee sponsored two of those bills anyway.
Sweeping bill for election reform passes
The Colorado Statesman
One of the most partisan bills facing the legislature did not disappoint this week as the House on Friday backed the controversial sweeping elections reform measure. The lower chamber's vote came after more than 80 citizens packed a legislative committee room on Monday during a cold spring snowstorm to voice their opinions on the polarizing proposal.
Quest for online sales tax revenue is ongoing
Legislative bills will address online collection
The Colorado Statesman Sports Department
Next week, the House will take another stab at finding a way to go after the sales and use taxes the state is owed, but can't collect, from those who purchase goods and services online. At least two, and possibly three bills, all dealing with the issue in different ways, are going to be part of a lengthy hearing in the House Finance Committee on Wednesday, April 24.

After considering the matter in several proceedings since 1991, the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has decided to permit the state's utilities to include in rates the full cost of...
FERC Flipflops on Great Lakes Case
Does it make good business sense to offer a service that brings in considerable revenue but virtually no profit?
In the past, special circumstances explained why local distribution companies (LDCs) sold natural gas to customers without earning a profit. But circumstances have changed. With the advent and proliferation of gas transportation services, it is time to reassess the business.
Up a Tree
That LDCs sell as well as distribute gas stems from three historic elements: the obligation to serve; the notion of
bundled service; and cost-of-service regulation.
While the obligation to serve was rarely stated explicitly in statutes, over the years it became well-established in the regulatory compact. In essence, that compact granted the LDC an exclusive right to provide natural gas service within a defined territory. In exchange, the LDC complied with rates, terms, and conditions of service approved by a state public utility commission (PUC). As sole supplier of fuel and transportation, the LDC saw no compelling reason to unbundle the price into separate components.
Meanwhile, cost-of-service regulation guaranteed a reasonable opportunity to recover prudently incurred expenses, plus a reasonable return on capital investment. Rate design broke costs down into specific charges for each customer class, but treated the cost of gas as a simple expense. Thus, unless the LDC invested capital for items such as peak-shaving or storage facilities, its gas sales would normally have no direct tie to profitability. Since the price of gas often displayed greater short-term volatility than other expenses, many PUCs allowed monthly adjustments to gas prices to track
purchased-gas costs.
During the 1980s, a series of orders (em culminating in Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 636 and various offspring (em fundamentally changed the gas industry. LDCs and large end users now enjoy competitive options. Just as the interstate pipelines had to open their systems to unbundle transportation services, LDCs typically had to offer unbundled transportation service across their distribution systems (em at least for their large-volume customers. Those customers are now well-accustomed to managing their own gas purchases. Smaller industrial and commercial end users are following suit. Widespread residential gas transportation looms on the horizon.
With gas-supply obligations fundamentally changed, the LDC ought to reconsider its role in fuel supply. Today if an LDC does a good job of managing its fuel supply, it can expect to recover one dollar of revenue for every dollar it spends. If the state PUC finds that the LDC did not do a good job of managing its fuel supply, it may allow even less. From a shareholder perspective, the best the LDC can hope for is to break even.
LDC management thus finds itself up a tree, with only two options: Climb higher and find a way to profit from gas sales, or climb down and quit the gas sales business.
Against the Grain
Consider the basic economic structure of the gas distribution and gas sales

Always Be Slamming: Hitchens Dismantles Mamet
This is an extraordinarily irritating book, written by one of those people who smugly believe that, having lost their faith, they must ipso facto have found their reason. In order to be persuaded by it, you would have to be open to propositions like this:
"Part of the left's savage animus against Sarah Palin is attributable to her status not as a woman, neither as a Conservative, but as a Worker."
Or this:
"America is a Christian country. Its Constitution is the distillation of the wisdom and experience of Christian men, in a tradition whose codification is the Bible."
… By now, perhaps, you will not be surprised to know that Mamet regards global warming as a false alarm, and demands to be told "by what magical process" bumper stickers can "save whales, and free Tibet." This again is not uncharacteristic of his pointlessly aggressive style: who on earth maintains that they can? If I were as prone to sloganizing as Mamet, I'd keep clear of bumper-sticker comparisons altogether.

Black, White & Red Cupcakes :)
I made these cupcakes for my niece Leila's 3rd birthday :)
My sister chose to have a red, black & white colour theme – so that's what she gave me to go on. I know she loves bunting, so I wanted to make some cute bunting. She also loves polka dots! and I had to try out some more pinwheels!
Leila loved her cupcakes!! they were a super yummy Vanilla cupcake with Vanilla Buttercream :)

The ultimate game. Half the table doubles their money. The other half gets nothing. Simple as that.
There are only two kinds of poker players in the world. Forget all the hype about tight-aggressive, loose-passive, obsessive-compulsive... In poker, you're either making money, or losing it.
888.com's fast action Double or Nothing Sit & Go tables are where the line of truth is drawn. Eight or ten players have it until the four or five weakest links are bet out of the game. Each winning player walks away with a loser's buy-in, effectively doubling his money. The losers, well, they get to try again.
Open the Sit & Go tab from the lobby, check the new DoubleOrNothing tab and buy into a Double or Nothing tournament for as little as $2.50 + 35¢. The truth is out there.

Federal and military employment and retirement
January 30th, 2013 | Uncategorized
Q. Hello, I have seen many questions about getting credit for military service when retiring under FERS, but I wonder if it works the other way, too. If a person was in the military, separated from service and worked for the federal government under FERS, and then went back into the military, is his FERS time creditable to his military retirement?
A. No.

With Spanish-language television continuing to surge, NBC gets in on the action by acquiring Telemundo.
By Derek Reveron
HISPANIC BUSINESS® magazine, Dec. 2001 Despite the economic recession and lower corporate marketing budgets, Univision and Telemundo continue to gain advertising revenue, even as many general-market networks post double-digit declines. Telemundo and Univision are the nations two fastest-growing television networks, and both companies plan to attract more advertising through new networks aimed at younger viewers. In October, Telemundo relaunched its Gems Television cable network as Mun2, or mundos, which means worlds in Spanish. Univision, which already operates the cable TV network Galavision, plans to launch Telefutura in January. Despite the poor economy, the new networks will attract enough advertising to succeed, according to industry observers. There is advertising strength among Spanish-language networks, as compared to the general-market sector where revenue is flat or down, says David Joyce, senior media analyst for Guzman & Co., a Miami investment-banking firm. Univision, which is about three times the size of Telemundo, remains the dominant network. Several of Univisions stations, including those in Miami and Los Angeles, regularly finish first among adults age 18 to 34, beating NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and Telemundo. But the number 2 Hispanic network is gaining ground. Two years ago, Telemundo attracted about 10 percent of Hispanic adult viewers age 18 to 49, compared to Univisions 90 percent. During the May audience sweep this year, Telemundo commanded about 30 percent of such viewers, says Steve Levin, executive vice-president of sales for Telemundo. The bigger market share brought more advertisers and higher rates for Telemundo, says Mr. Levin. He declined to provide specifics, but industry insiders say that advertisers, who routinely split their buys between the two networks, now have more reason to provide Telemundo its share. The confidence level in Telemundo has increased since they have been reprogramming and gaining audience, says Rochelle Newman-Carrasco, chief executive of Enlace Communications, a Los Angeles ad firm that targets Hispanic audiences. With increased ratings comes a bigger share of the buy. Telemundo believes it can make more headway against Univision after completing its merger with NBC. In October, the peacock network acquired Miami-based Telemundo for $1.98 billion in cash and stock. Under terms of the agreement, NBC also will assume about $700 million in Telemundo debt. We are looking to make even more progress because NBC brings great news, programming, and distribution resources to the table, says Mr. Levin. Univision declined requests for interviews. Compared to Telemundo, however, the Los Angelesbased network continues to book about twice as much crucial upfront advertising that networks sell before the start of each fall television season. Univision sold about $550 million in advertisements for the 2001 season, a 10 percent rise over 2000, according to industry analysts. Telemundo sold $200 million to $250 million in advertisements, a 1520 percent rise over 2000, says Mr. Levin. Analysts predict that Univisions 2001 total revenue will reflect growth of about 3 percent, down from the 7 percent figure predicted earlier this year. The network will record revenue of $1.7 billion in 2002, up 21 percent from 2001 but down 8 percent from earlier estimates, according to Merrill Lynch analyst Jessica Reif Cohen. NBC CEO Bob Wright recently predicted that Telemundo will record revenue of about $400 million for 2001. And Telemundo CEO Jim McNamara has forecast growth of at least 20 percent for 2002. Telemundo and Univision are counting on their new networks to help them meet revenue forecasts. Neither network is in the drivers seat, however, when it comes to selling advertising for the new ventures, industry insiders say. Packaging the advertising with the parent networks and offering discounts isnt the preferred strategy, but they dont have a choice with some large advertisers who can demand what they want, says Ms. Newman-Carrasco. The new networks need to prove themselves. Univision will use 11 stations, purchased from Barry Dillers USA Networks for $1.1 billion, to launch Telefutura, a network that targets young, bilingual Hispanics. At its debut, Telefutura will reach 80 percent of U.S. Hispanic homes and will feature programming from Colombia, Mexico, and Venezuela as well as original shows produced by Univision. Telefutura is selling advertising independently and as part of a package with Univision, according to advertising agency executives. Telefutura probably wont attract big advertising revenue initially, and there is bound to be some cannibalization of existing Univision clients, says Mr. Joyce. However, he adds, the network should add significantly to Univisions total revenue when the economy rebounds and corporate advertising budgets increase. Telemundo had scheduled its launch of Mun2 for September but postponed it following the terrorist attacks. Mun2, which will initially reach 2.8 million households, targets Hispanics age 1834 and features trendy original programming. FuZion, for example, presents segments on entertainment, music, and film. CHAT, a talk show, focuses on youth issues. Viewers can participate through telephone calls and e-mail. Music programs include Planet Rock and Padrisimo, which features Tex-Mex artists. Mun2 creates a position in the marketplace that many advertisers want, says Mr. Levin. Like Univision, Telemundo is selling advertising for Mun2 solo and as part of a package, depending on the needs of advertisers. So far, he says, Mun2 is exceeding its advertising goals. Univision and Telemundo hope the new networks will broaden their categories of advertisers. Currently, automakers and packaged goods companies account for the largest chunk of advertisements. Top clients include Ford, General Motors, Kraft, Procter & Gamble, and Nestlé. The networks are trying to lure more electronics and home appliance companies. Those categories are almost totally vacant, notes Mr. Levin. The networks also covet financial services firms and insurance companies, advertising executives say. Telemundo sees Mun2 as the latest example of innovative programming that has cut into Univisions market lead. Telemundo started making progress two years ago after Mr. McNamara became CEO and improved ratings by focusing on novelas, or soap operas, some of which broke new ground. Xica, a Brazilian novela, chronicled the rise of a 19th-century woman from slave to courtesan. Yo Soy Betty, la Fea, a comedic novela from Colombia, helped increase Telemundos audience share in May to 28 percent among 18- to 49-year-olds, compared with 22 percent the previous year. Univision ended up acquiring rerun and sequel rights to the show through a programming deal with RCN, a Colombian network and telenovela producer. Univisions daytime programming recorded the highest second-quarter viewer levels among adults 18 to 34 in the networks history, the company announced in a conference call with analysts in August. This seasons novelas include Amigas y Rivales (Friends and Rivals), El Derecho de Nacer (The Birthright), and Secreto de Amor (Secret Love). Univision also launched Los Metiches, its first network-produced original weekly evening comedy hour. Don Francisco, host of longtime ratings juggernaut Sabado Gigante, launched a weekly prime-time talk show, Don Francisco Presenta. Both networks are benefiting from the explosive growth of the Hispanic market. More than 35 million Hispanics live in the United States, according to the 2000 U.S. Census. Combined annual purchasing power of U.S. Hispanics is about $500 billion. The Census report provided marketing ammunition for the two networks, which sent promotional materials to large corporations detailing Hispanic population growth. The broadcasters hope to close the gap between the amount of advertising directed at Hispanics and their market size. Advertisers spend a total of $200 million each year, but less than 2 percent targets Hispanics. Mr. McNamara has put it another way: Six to 10 percent of U.S. households are watching Univision or Telemundo at any given moment, but Hispanic media draw only 2 percent of all advertising. Another disparity is that advertisers are willing to pay higher rates for similar-sized audiences on general-market networks. Hispanic ratings recently got a boost, however. On the basis of Census reports, Nielsen Media Research increased the number of Hispanic households in a rating point by 14 percent. Rating points determine how much money advertisers pay for commercials. The more Hispanic households in a ratings point, the more a network can charge for advertising. The change was long overdue, says Ms. Newman-Carrasco. The industry couldnt keep denying the overwhelming mathematics of growth, she says. The burgeoning clout of the Hispanic market increasingly appeals to major media conglomerates. The vibrant Hispanic market accounts for a significant and growing share of the nations economy, and we are eager to draw on Telemundos expertise to better serve this important audience, said NBC CEO Bob Wright in announcing the merger. NBC had to fight off other suitors, including Viacom and, reportedly, AOL Time Warner and Walt Disney Co. Industry watchers speculate that some of those companies now covet Univision. Mr. Joyce says he believes that potential suitors have approached the network. Univisions market capitalization increased about 7 percent on the day that NBC and Telemundo announced their deal. The purchase by NBC is an indicator of the success of our market. It sets a huge precedent, says Fausto Sanchez, president of Publicis Sanchez & Levitan, a Miami-based advertising agency. PHOTO CAPTION: Telemundos new Mun2 network targets Hispanics age 1834 with trendy original programming such as FuZion. Hosted by Kenya and Alfonso de Anda, the program features segments on entertainment, music, and film.

I very interested in knowing if anyone has any experience with an

to continue
where ISS left off, the application level.
This is the first Application Level Security Scanner i encountered.
Application level is usually regarded as "additional feature" in
commercial security scanners.
I started to evaluate this
software today and want to see if anyone else has any good or
bad points to
the scanner.
I used it in one penetration test. It's very thorough, looks for many
recurring misprogramming errors. I tend to use it as a reference,
to make sure i didn't left out anything. It has a nice "generate your
own" http queries and posts, but i'd like to see that scriptable.
Fine and sexy tool, all things considered.
