Anonymous said: What is a 5150 hold? My mom threatened to put me on it if I dont stop cutting myself she said.
It's a legal 72 hour psychiatric hold that one is placed by a mental health professional, or law enforcement officers due to one being a danger to self, others, or being gravely disabled (unable to care for one's self). During that hold, one is to be evaluated by his or her psychiatrist to determine whether or not further care is needed beyond that hold. Most 5150 patients are admitted from Emergency Rooms (from cutting, self harm, suicidal ideation/attempt) and sent to psychiatric behavioral facilities.
The Zung Depression Scale is a depression screening test that is administered and evaluated by one's self.
This test has been proven to be a tool valuable in assessing the signs and symptoms associated in mood disorders such as depression.
The main purpose of the test is to assess the severity of one's depression and its psychological, physical, and emotional effects.
The Zung Depression Scale includes a self rating questionnaire in which you rate the described symptom based on the frequency it is felt.

Good question. The Memphis Grizzlies own one pick in the upcoming 2014 draft. That pick being the 22nd in the first round.
There are still questions regarding what direction the team wants to go, and what they do in the draft should provide some answers. With the Grizzlies biggest needs easily being at both of the forward positions, they must address this problem either through the draft, free agency, or both. With Zach Randolph's contract up in the air, and Ed Davis being a RFA, the current power forward situation consists of one player: Jon Leuer. No offense to Mr. Leuer, but that's a terrifying prospect. The problem with Randolph's contract is that he has until June 30th to accept or decline his player option. The draft however, is earlier, on June 26th. This pressures the Grizzlies front office to make a decision sooner rather than later. Bringing back either Z-Bo or Davis seems to be essential, but bringing in a free agent is an option too (i.e. Pau Gasol).
Small forward also needs to be addressed, if not this season, then most definitely next. Tayshaun Prince's production is falling off quickly as he continues to age and he only has one year remaining on his contract. Prince's $7 million contract coming off the books will free up some significant cap space, and being able to fill his role with a younger, cheaper player would be huge. A player that can shoot the three and defend the perimeter, things that Prince did very well earlier in his career, would a be valuable asset that fits in perfectly with the rest of the current roster.
So here we are. Plenty of needs and very few answers. As we know, one way the team can begin to address these issues is through the upcoming draft. That being said, let's look at some potential prospects that could fill some holes on the Grizzlies roster:
Rodney Hood-Duke
I know, he's probably gone by 22, but what a fantastic pick up he would be should he fall. A versatile small forward with a beautiful stroke, Hood would be perfect to help space the floor for Z-Bo and Gasol should the tandem stay together. Hood's defense could definitely improve, but given a year he could easily take over starting SF for Tayshaun.
Kyle Anderson-UCLA
Anderson is an incredibly unique prospect given his skill set. He played point guard most of his last year at UCLA, but Anderson is huge for the position. At 6'9", with a wing span at 7′-2", Anderson's ability to pass, handle and shoot are a rare commodity at his size. What position he would play at the NBA level remains to be seen, but a small forward with his skill set would be a great asset for the Grizz.
Cleanthony Early-Wichita State
I'm really intrigued by Early. He's a little older at 23, and only stands at 6'7". Despite these shortcomings he can play both the three and the four, and hit the three relatively well. A knock on him was that his stats were bloated by beating up on weaker teams while playing at Wichita State, but he stepped up big time in the tournament versus Kentucky. Cleanthony has a little Draymond Green in him, and that seems to be working out well for Golden State.
Shabbaz Napier-UConn
If Shabbaz were available, he would most likely be the best player on the board. If Memphis takes him, then they are clearly going for the best player available versus drafting for need. Mike Conley is firmly entrenched at point guard for the foreseeable future, but having a high potential reserve is never a bad thing.
Clint Capela-Switzerland
Clint has been playing in France and is extremely athletic. He has a great knack for grabbing boards, and he shot 69% from the field last year. Yes, 69%. Most people couldn't do that during practice. He does however need to embrace his skill set, as he shoots far too many jumpers and plays smaller than his size.
TJ Warren-NC State
Warren is a pure scorer, and guess what you need when your team is 27th in scoring? Scoring! If he could crack the rotation and put some points on the board then he would be a great addition. Improving his shooting mechanics and long range game will be essential for him at the NBA level.
Adreian Payne-Michigan State
Payne is a stretch four with great athleticism a 7'4" wingspan. He needs to add some bulk or he's going to get bullied by bigger forwards. His IQ is relatively low compared to similar prospects, but he is one of the more polished players on the board.
Any of these players would potentially be a good fit for the Grizzlies. There are others that would work as well, but these are some that I feel would especially fit with the current roster. Hopefully adding a young forward will give Memphis a shot in the arm and add some much needed scoring, but we will have to wait and see what happens on draft night.

The case for taking one pill a day to prevent HIV
by Abraar Karan and Jeffrey D. Klausner
New global data overwhelmingly suggest that a pill to prevent HIV, approved by the United States' Food and Drug Administration in July 2012, is safer and more effective than the medical community originally thought. Importantly, new models predict that when taken daily, the drug, called Truvada, can lower the risk of HIV transmission by 99 percent. Recent studies also show that a large-scale rollout of Truvada is unlikely to lead to increased antiviral drug resistance or risk-taking behavior, as some had feared.
But old concerns, even as they have been called into question, persist, and are hindering Truvada from being widely used for HIV prevention. This needs to change.
The use of Truvada — a drug originally approved for HIV treatment — for HIV prevention in uninfected people is an unprecedented approach to addressing the epidemic. In the medical community, this form of therapy is known as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and so far Truvada is the only drug to obtain PrEP approval. While the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends PrEP for those at high risk for contracting HIV, such as men who have sex with men, sex workers, injection drug users, and people with known HIV-infected partners, its adoption has been slow over the last two years largely due to concerns about its safety, efficacy, and effect on patient's sexual behavior.
When Truvada first was approved for PrEP, some public health experts and community groups feared that people might feel falsely protected against HIV and participate in high-risk sexual behavior, potentially negating the protective potential of the regimen. These critics also worried that mass prescription of PrEP could perpetuate antiviral drug resistance because of low adherence by patients in some studies.
Complicating matters, physicians were hesitant to prescribe Truvada for PrEP because they felt its small risk of side effects and financial costs could be avoided if patients consistently used protective measures such as condoms and were careful in their choice and number of sexual partners. What's more, the main study supporting the use of PrEP, known as the iPrEx Study, reported that PrEP worked only about half the time, confusing the health community, because it appeared PrEP was not as effective as expected.
Two years later, more recent studies tell a different story, but fears are still contributing to PrEP's low support by physicians and low demand by at-risk patients. Ultimately, healthcare providers play a major role in patient decision-making and physicians need to stand behind PrEP so that patients will increase uptake and adherence.
We have a few key recommendations to be adopted globally in order to increase the use of PrEP. First, PrEP must be adequately integrated into primary care systems directed at high-risk populations. In the US, this may be facilitated through the Affordable Care Act. Globally, we need to advocate for PrEP's inclusion in existing HIV treatment and prevention models and urge for increased funding to support provision of PrEP in low-income countries. While Truvada is available around the world, its use as PrEP has not yet been approved or implemented everywhere. Moreover, it is largely unaffordable at up to $14,000 per year. Its manufacturer, Gilead Sciences, should allow tiered and reduced pricing for low-income regions.
Second, adherence to medication must be improved—it is the only evidenced shortfall of PrEP for which we do not yet have a tested solution. We need to educate and support primary care providers and at-risk communities, as well as establish strong and clear global guidelines for PrEP usage. Strong primary care systems that integrate innovative health coaching and community health worker strategies will be critical to this effort.
Lastly, we need to document and systematize PrEP usage far more efficiently. Currently, there is no registry of PrEP users in the world. We need to collect data on who is taking PrEP to monitor prescribing, adherence, risk behavior, antiviral resistance patterns, and effectiveness at the population level. In the US and countries with strong information technology infrastructure, this can be done more quickly than in other, less developed regions.
A couple of years ago, the debates surrounding the use of Truvada for PrEP in healthy people were reasonable. But with new evidence, we believe in 2014 there is less to debate and far more to accomplish to make PrEP available. No longer can we reasonably ignore what may very well lead to the end of global HIV/AIDS.

Few days ago I wrote about testing writing to many files and seeing how this affects sequential read performance. I was very interested to see how it shows itself with real tables so I've got the script and ran tests for MyISAM and Innodb tables on ext3 filesystem. Here is what I found:
MySQL File System Fragmentation Benchmarks
Performance impact of complex queries
What is often underestimated is impact of MySQL Performance by complex queries on large data sets(ie some large aggregate queries) and batch jobs. It is not rare to see queries which were taking milliseconds to stall for few seconds, especially in certain OS configurations, and on low profile servers (ie having only one disk drive) […]
Trying Archive Storage Engine
Today I noticed one of server used for web request profiling stats logging is taking about 2GB per day for logs, which are written in MyISAM table without indexes. So I thought it is great to try how much archive storage engine could help me in this case.

There are many different paths we can take in life. There are even some people who believe in alternate universes, where we have doppelgangers who live out the other decisions we could have made.

Amateur diary: The pressure of Q-School
Q-School is hard for everyone. Not like "man why did I take Japanese in college" hard, either. I'm talking about "this is what I want to do with my life for the next year" hard.
Amateur diary: My first Futures Tour event
The last couple of weeks have flown. Literally. The last time I wrote I was destined for caddie greatness out on the Futures Tour, and I like to think I found it.
Amateur diary: Causing a scene in Nebraska
Our alarm sounded at 2:30 a.m., and let me tell you, it hurt! Katie (Kempter, a University of Denver graduate) and I had scheduled a car service to pick us up from Crossville at 3 a.m. so that we could make the two-hour journey to the Nashville airport with relative ease.
Amateur diary: Adventures in New Mexico
In the last 10 days I have visited five different states, slept under four different roofs, and played in three different golf tournaments. In light of this, my next installment will in fact be two ... parts that is.
Amateur diary: The feeling of life on the road
It's amazing what players can learn when they leave their home country to play competitive golf. You learn more about the game, the world and about yourself.
Amateur diary: Preparing to return to the U.S.
We used to say on the team that it was a cold day when you could see your own breath when teeing off, or that it's windy when the pin bends over during gusts.
Amateur diary: Adventures in Australia
As far as I've traveled and as long as I've journeyed, I still believe it's hard to beat the smell of Australian country on a fresh winter's day.
Amateur diary: Castles, singing and sushi
I do most of my writing while I'm travelling. I don't know if it's because the not-so-soothing sound of an engine brings out my pensive reflections or whether it's the only time I truly get to sit back and let the week's events digest.
Amateur diary: Meet Alison Whitaker
My name is Alison Whitaker and I'm a 24 year old from Melbourne, Australia, who loves life, food, music and golf.

16.07.07 - By Knockout Publicity: WEST PALM BEACH, FL-The paying consumer deserves to get their moneys worth. Give us warriors, men who persevere through adversity, throwback pugilists with brazen hearts equipped for battle. Richard The Destroyer Hall meets those criteria. In a lackluster boxing division void of entertaining stars, Hall looks to shake up the light heavyweights with his balls-out wanton and fan-friendly banging style. That is, if the opposition is up to the challenge.
Richard Hall comes to fight, a fact that stirs up apprehension in most 175 pounders. Im still hungry like the day I started boxing. At the same time, Im disappointed. Nobody wants to step up to the plate and go to war. This is my dream. I love boxing.
Last month, Antonio Tarver and Chad Dawson were featured on a twin bill card televised by Showtime. Although they are both world-ranked light heavyweights, neither man felt obligated to face a known fighter. Who the hell is Jesus Ruiz?, Hall asked of Dawsons opponent. Chad should be ashamed for facing a 19-4 fighter in a world title bout. He is supposed to be the next big thing, but he fights club fighters.
Antonio Tarvers opponent was Elvir Muriqi, a virtual unknown who held Antonio to a majority-decision. Antonio Tarver is a joke! He claims to be this great legend, but he cannot dominate ESPN fighters. I want Antonio Tarver so bad, its like Im starving.
Defeating Antonio Tarver would exorcise many demons in Hall. As teenaged amateurs, Tarver was awarded a bogus decision over the young Hall in a fight the Jamaican-born slugger clearly won. Rico Hoye is another fighter with whom Richard Hall has unfinished business with. Hall entered their 2003 bout with an undisclosed spinal injury that resulted from a motorcycle accident 2 weeks before the bout. Since it was an IBF Light Heavyweight title eliminator, Hall decided to go through with the bout anyway. Now healthy, Hall hopes to settle the score on a level playing field.
Id love to fight Rico Hoye tomorrow morning. I wasnt 100 percent, but I am now and Id walk through hell to get my hands on Rico Hoye.
People pay their money to see guys go duke for duke. Its a blood sport. If people dont have fighters that inspire them, they will go to UFC. I dont believe in the judges, they dont see what goes on in the ring. I love the knockout. If the fight goes to the decision, I feel like Im cheating the fans. Im still the roughest Jamaican bad boy in boxing. I see you guys with the belts, and Im coming for all of you.

Dr. Hu was raised in Shanghai, China and graduated with a degree in dentistry from Shanghai Dental School in 1983. He then completed his resident training in all aspects of oral maxillofacial surgery and continued to teach at hospitals for many years.
During his tenure, Dr. Hu received prestigious awards and was selected and awarded the Japanese Government Scholarship in dentistry. Dr. Hu obtained his PhD. in Oral Surgery at Saga Medical School, Japan by completing his research on immunotherapy for oral cancer and clinical training in implant surgery. Furthering his pursuit of dental excellence, Dr. Hu earned his specialist certificate of prosthodontics in New Jersey Dental School by completing a four-year training in a postgraduate program.
Dr. Hu was awarded the Tylman Award by the American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics in February of 2008. His research has been published in both national and international journals. Dr. Hu has enjoyed the many challenges of his dental career and is very happy to provide quality dental care with a personal touch. …
Very friendly staff, easy to sign in and be seen. Comfortable environment, great service.
Excellent service! The dental team worked well together to provide exceptional care and service.
The best dentist I have ever been to!
I was amazed by how professional Dr. Yang was at my appointment. I've always had a Dentist just stop by after an assistant cleaned my teeth, but here it was actually with the Dr. and my oral health was explained rather then to typical 'You need to floss more, have a great day'.

RT Television interviews WhoWhatWhy editor-in-chief about breaking news on NSA internet surveillance.
Please click here to donate; it's tax deductible. And it packs a punch.
Of course, Gen. Clapper, the DNI, denies everything, He is, after all, one very cool guy, so let's look at some of the cool quotes from him.
In 2003, Clapper, then head of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, attempted to explain the absence of WMDs in Iraq by asserting that the weapons materials were "unquestionably" shipped out of Iraq to Syria and other countries just before the American invasion, a "personal assessment" which Clapper's own agency head at the time, David Burpee, "could not provide further evidence to support."
In March 2011, Clapper was heard at the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services and commented on the 2011 Libyan civil war saying that "over the longer term" Gaddafi "will prevail."
(Yup, must be another Obama appointee.)
The hackitude of the intel agencies is embarrassingly bad. Virtually every inquiry gets a cringe-worthy lie as a response.
It's nice that RT has you on to talk to you. It would be better if they would give you more than a 3 or 4 minute segment for a change though. That interview just barely scratched the surface of this issue.
Since we know the official 911 is a phony, we should understand that this massive surveillance is not about finding terrorists. The government has blocked all efforts at finding the perpetrators of 911 from 2001 on. Surveillance is meant to uncover sedition among the people, groups and movements that want to challenge the banking system, the FED, the Wall Street criminals. They want to subvert any movement that might take power away from the oligarchy and give it to the people. JFK, MLK, Robert Kennedy and a host of others have been snuffed out for the same reason. There are a million ways true terrorist could cause chaos and paralyze this country, but they don't happen. A few well placed junk cars on the freeway at rush hour, for instance. LSD in the water supply, cutting phone lines and microwave towers. etc. any number of things.

• Amazing video rant against some voters

Reading computer screens is slower and harder than reading from paper. If you want users to "get" your message, you need to write less text, write to be scanned and avoid marketing speak. Research shows that users don't like to scroll -- however, there are a few important exceptions. These are just a few of the topics covered in our free 'Writing For The Web' workshop.
The workshop will present insights into web user psychology, how to think about and write for the web, how to identify common content mistakes and how writing for the web will improve your search engine rankings. This two hour free workshop is targeted at anyone who owns or works on a website. It has been attended by thousands from the Milwaukee area. Companies such as Baird, Snap-on, Johnson Controls, and the Archdiocese of Milwaukee have sent entire marketing teams. (Why not? It's free, and it's NOT a hidden sales pitch.) Everyone will enjoy the "live looks" at web sites submitted from those in attendance.
Patrick Bieser, Founder of Northwoods, presents his common sense and sometimes humorous approach to creating a usable and content intelligent web site. Patrick couples his 15 years of web experience with his research on the most successful sites on the Internet today into a high energy and provocative presentation.

- About WERS
The Life Is Good Festival returned once again this fall and WERS was happy to support the two day, family-friendly festival on Prowse Farm in Canton, MA. Showcasing plenty of WERS artists, hands-on games, art activities, and various vendors, the festival raises money for kids in need, and this year they brought in over one million dollars for The Life is Good Kids Foundation. Optimism and charity were on everyone's minds, but so were plenty of questions: how old is Quinn Sullivan? Will The Roots bring out Elvis Costello? Exactly how much facial hair to Hall & Oats still sport? One festival set out to solve them, and people swung in hammocks while hearing the answers.
"Today, everybody is a great kid," said members of the Life Is Good Playmakers. They weren't lying. First to take the stage was Yo Gabba Gabba! Creatures of all shapes and sizes joined DJ Lance Rock to get kids up and dancing. Songs about hugs, bugs, and love were equally infectious for children as they were for adults. A sign asking parents to sit so all kids could see was obeyed — those who couldn't remain seated to dance had no issue getting up and skipping about in the back area, laughing from the fun simplicity of Yo Gabba Gabba!'s electronic play tunes.
For those who walked over late to Quinn Sullivan's stage, the surprise on their faces was clear. His soulful voice could be heard over the whole farm, but there, front and center soloing for over five minutes on his guitar, was a fourteen-year-old boy. Born and raised in New Bedford, Sullivan performed in a v-neck and jeans for the crowd, seeming just as comfortable on the main stage as he would in his bedroom. The crowd was cheering between each song, giving their all after his closer "Things I Won't Forget" had a Lynard Skynard riff. Calling him a prodigy is phrasing it lightly. He's the type of musician who fools you into thinking playing an instrument is easy; luckily for him, talent comes naturally, and practicing just makes it more fun.
A surprise favorite of the day was Thao & the Get Down Stay Down. The name should be an indicator, but when you gather in front of a stage for Thao & the Get Down Stay Down, things are going to get funky. More a combination of folk, alternative rock, and funk, Thao & the Get Down Stay Down are the powerhouse force of combos. Frontwoman Thao Nguyen can shred a slide guitar solo with just as much vigor as she can dance or blow kisses from her mandolin. "We're so happy to be at a festival where they donate all the money," she said. "No one does this." Then brought feel good tune "Kindness Be Concieved" which features Joanna Newsom (if only the elf-like singer were there to join them live). Nguyen has the mystery of Blonde Redhead's Kazu Makino and the charm of Feist. She took her role modestly and with spirit before blowing up their sound on drums alongside the bassist and drummer to beat them in a sporadic frenzy, imploding with life. As they closed, their set, Nguyen burst out verses of Ludacris' "What's Your Fantasy" and fans smiled at the somewhat vulgar lyrics became cute with her half-joking delivery.
Trampled By Turtles brought the south up north. Originally from Minnesota, the five gentlemen brought fiddle, mandolin, banjo, and bluegrass folk to Saturday's lineup with ease. The audience broke out into a hoedown for "Help You" and "Sorry," a mandolin solo too youthful to let the audience stand still. It was remarkable to watch the fiddle strumming in person; I was sure the strings would burn off because of how fast they were strum.
Our Americana favorites Dawes got a rather large crowd set out for themselves, but we weren't surprised. Playing a slew of their big hits (like "A Little Bit of Everything" and "If I Wanted Someone"), Dawes nailed their setlist. The highlight was getting to hear songs off their new album, Stories Don't End, live. A characteristic and plot-driven record, the story becomes even more engrossing live. Thankfully Dawes were able to throw new material out with just as much breath and life live, and the open fields of Prowse Farm gave it plenty of space to grow.
It seemed like everyone's favorite set, or at least the most infectious, was The Roots. Arriving late due to a plane time change, the band quickly rushed on stage and wasted no time getting in to their music. Grooving to "The Seed 2.0," "Thought @ Work," and "You Got Me" were easy when you get to hear the tuba live and can feel the bass notes pounding through you. Then seeing the band's energetic turns and synchronized jumps in front of you pulled a smile out from inside of you straight to your face for hours to come. ?uestlove kept the drumming going nonstop, and no time was spared between songs and James Brown covers. The crowd didn't need breathers anyway; it was all about letting loose and dancing.
Just before Daryl Hall & John Oats took the stage and brought everyone back in time, the founders of Life Is Good came onstage to update the crowd with the festivals raised profits and thank everyone again (with an old letter sent from two grateful disabled brothers getting an overwhelming cheer from the crowd when it was read aloud). "The music, the sunshine, the smiles–don't you just feel grateful?" they asked. Even if no one cheered, it was obvious everyone at the festival was. Daryl Hall & John Oats played everything from "Out of Touch" to "Family Man" in addition to the regular classics, and the crowd was beyond grateful–for the chance to hear them live, the opportunity to breathe in the air, and time spent surrounded with with love on the farm.

Little visited
What we say:
This is a small single-shrined, sandstone temple set in dense forest. While it's an attractive setting, the temple isn't spectacular albeit with some decent carvings lying around. Its importance lies in it being, with the exception of upgrades to some of the Preah Pithu group, one of the last stone temples to be built at Angkor.
If you want a bit of peace and quiet and fancy a stroll in the woods, wander down to the well preserved but rarely visited east gate (Death Gate) and take in Mangalartha on the way!

RU's Views: Why Price Matters
- Written by GHERU on Tuesday, April 16 2013 and posted in Features
In 1963, X-Men #1 cost twelve cents and was 36 pages long. The first ten issues would have cost $1.20 in total and contained 360 pages, whereas the current Marvel Event, Age Of Ultron is "worth" $3.99 and has an average page count of around 32 pages. All that means that, by the end of the event, Age Of Ultron will cost readers $40 for ~320 pages.
As of right now, readers who have yet to give up have spent $20 for fives issues, and the question we have to ask ourselves is: "Is this worth it?" Have the, roughly, 160 pages provided $20 worth of entertainment? But, even before we can broach that topic, there is an implied prerequisite that must be addressed: "Is price a fair variable to judge the entertainment value of a comic book?"
It will come as no surprise that the position this piece takes is "yes," and the reasoning is simple: the reason comics exist as a product is to entertain the reader, and the price of a comic is the value the market and/or publisher has decided the entertainment inside is worth. As I have argued before, comic book readers need to stop living in a reality where comic books are not a product, where the companies and stores are not in the business of making money, and where the readers mean anything more to the industry other than dollar signs.
If we can think of comics as cars, then this becomes even easier. I drive a 2011 Mazda 3, and I love it. It's comfortable, fun to drive, has a good stereo, and "feels" like my car. Also, it was the best car I could afford when I needed a car. According to mazda.com, The Mazda 3 can run anywhere from $16,000-$24,300 (I paid something in the middle), and, for the money, I am very happy. No, I am not a "car guy" and I don't really get most of the tech speak, but, in my research, I found lots of reviews with some version of "drives like a Mercedes" / "the handling of a Lexus" / "the same feel as a BMW." Now, I've never driven any of those cars, but from pop culture I know that these are compliments, comparing this ~$20,000 car to ones that run $40,000 and up. The reviews are basically saying that this car, a product that is built to get me from point A to point B in comfort and security, has many of the same features as cars that cost over twice as much. There is value in that.
Now, reverse the reviews:
- Mercedes C Series ($35,000): Drives like a Mazda 3
- Lexus IS ($35,000):The handling of a Mazda 3
- BMW 128i ($31.200): The same feel as a Mazda 3
All of the aspects of the Mazda 3 that made it so attractive to me now makes these more expensive models look worthless. Why? Because the market/producers have told me that these cars are worth over $10,000 more than my car, so why are they so similar? My review of the Mazda 3 HAS to include whether or not I feel the car was worth the price because, if I don't, I am saying that a Mazda that drives like an Audi is just as good as an Audi that drives like a Mazda 3 – and that should not be the case.
Were the five issues of Age Of Ultron worth $20? Have you been provided with $20 worth of entertainment? Do you see a possibility of, when it is all said and done, that this will all be worth $40? 10 issues over a four month period means that every other(ish) week a $4 comic comes into your possession that barely moves the story forward, provides no answers, took over two years to make, contradicts the previous event, Avengers vs. X-Men, in the most basic of ways, and provides no real information on when it takes place (who is this Spider-Man?). All I am asking you is: do you think that the $3.99 Age Of Ultron is worth the same as or more than Chew, Prophet, Skullkickers, The Flash, Batman, X-Factor, Uncanny X-Men, All Star Western, Mind MGMT, Manhattan Projects, etc…?
If we do not take price into account, then we are inherently saying that all comics are worth the same, start from a level playing field, and readers should have no higher standards for books that cost more. We're saying that page count / price doesn't contribute to how we feel about our possessions, how we feel when we look at a purchase and think, I "only"/"can't believe that I" spent $4 on that comic. I just finished Essential X-Men vol. 11:
- Paperback: 544 pages
- Price: $19.99
- Newspaper stock
And it was totally worth the money I paid for it. Great stories (Muir Island Saga included), looks good on a shelf, and OVER 500 PAGES! Crap, for $20, they could have put this on manila envelopes and I'd still think this a great deal. But, if we do not take price into account when reviewing comics, we are stating that there is nothing to criticize if this same $19.99 only purchased five comics, 32 pages each, with no story to speak of. Hey, at least it's in color and the paper is sturdier.
Price matters. If it didn't, then there wouldn't be "luxury" vehicles, "nicer" neighborhoods, all the comics from Marvel would cost the same regardless of whose name is on the book (character or creator) and regardless of audience (Marvel Universe Ultimate Spider-Man vs. Superior Spider-Man). But they do not because we are told, by price points, what Marvel believes is the better product and, as consumers, they take advantage of our collective collectors' mindsets when we pretend that price should not be indicative of quality.
Defeatists will say that "comics cost what they cost" and there is nothing we can do. I say comics cost what they cost, and it is up to us to decide if they are worth what they cost. Unfortunately, most are not.
Nothing discussed above touches on the fact that 36 pages in a 1963 comic has "more meat" in it then even a 36 page comic would today, brining up a page count / price discussion that would take up a whole new article.
10 comics
~320 pages
Is it worth it?

I'm trying to get Spiceworks setup on a test PC, it has successfully scanned the local subnet but it will not scan any of the other subnets as it simply returns an error saying they are 'firewalled' - which they are not. We have a number of subnets, all routed between each other but otherwise open.
I've also noticed Spiceworks will not deal with our smoothwall proxy - entering the ip/url and port and it just generates the error 'http test failed' - and thats as far as I can go. Even if I specify valid credentials it fails with the same error.
It seems daft to be stuck so early on, but if I can't get it to deal with our subnets and proxy its no good - anyone got any tips?

So we're a little late on this, but URI's conference has a new, sharp-looking (literally) logo. The Atlantic 10 announced the image change back on Tuesday as part of a slew of changes around college basketball. Here's what the commish had to say:
"The Atlantic 10 Conference has a proud and rich history, thus it was time to redesign our logo highlighting the strength, speed and commitment of this league," stated Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade. "Our branding has been updated and modernized to keep pace with our membership. I love the versatility of the new marks, including the ability of our membership to utilize the conference logos in their own approved color palette."
For reference, here's a look at the old A-10 logo. Definitely dated-looking. But how is everyone feeling about the new one?
It has "sharp new marks", as the official release states. But is it… too sharp? The little mini logo in the middle of the photo above looks nice – that one will likely appear on the jerseys and shorts of all the hoops teams in the Atlantic 10. But the main logo? A little too jagged, perhaps. But it could grow on folks after seeing it a few times.
What do you guys think of the new logo? Let us know in the comments!

Items in AFP with MESH term: Medical History Taking
Neuropsychological Evaluation in Primary Care - Article
ABSTRACT: Referring a patient to a neuropsychologist for evaluation provides a level of rigorous assessment of brain function that often cannot be obtained in other ways. The neuropsychologist integrates information from the patient's medical history, laboratory tests, and imaging studies; an in-depth interview; collateral information from the family and other sources; and standardized assessment instruments to draw conclusions about diagnosis, prognosis, and response to therapy. Family physicians can use this information in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with depression, dementia, concussion, and similar conditions, as well as to address concerns about decision-making capacity. Certain assessment instruments, such as the Mini-Mental State Examination and Patient Health Questionnaire–9, are readily available and easily performed in a primary care office. Distinguishing among depression, dementia, and other conditions can be challenging, and consultation with a neuropsychologist at this level can be diagnostic and therapeutic. The neuropsychologist typically helps the patient, family, and primary care team by establishing decision-making capacity; determining driving safety; identifying traumatic brain injury deficits; distinguishing dementia from depression and other conditions; and detecting malingering. Neuropsychologists use a structured set of therapeutic activities to improve a patient's ability to think, use judgment, and make decisions (cognitive rehabilitation). Repeat neuropsychological evaluation can be invaluable in monitoring progression and treatment effects.
Evaluation of Acute Pelvic Pain in Women - Article
ABSTRACT: Diagnosis of pelvic pain in women can be challenging because many symptoms and signs are insensitive and nonspecific. As the first priority, urgent life-threatening conditions (e.g., ectopic pregnancy, appendicitis, ruptured ovarian cyst) and fertility-threatening conditions (e.g., pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian torsion) must be considered. A careful history focusing on pain characteristics, review of systems, and gynecologic, sexual, and social history, in addition to physical examination helps narrow the differential diagnosis. The most common urgent causes of pelvic pain are pelvic inflammatory disease, ruptured ovarian cyst, and appendicitis; however, many other diagnoses in the differential may mimic these conditions, and imaging is often needed. Transvaginal ultrasonography should be the initial imaging test because of its sensitivities across most etiologies and its lack of radiation exposure. A high index of suspicion should be maintained for pelvic inflammatory disease when other etiologies are ruled out, because the presentation is variable and the prevalence is high. Multiple studies have shown that 20 to 50 percent of women presenting with pelvic pain have pelvic inflammatory disease. Adolescents and pregnant and postpartum women require unique considerations.
Dizziness: A Diagnostic Approach - Article
ABSTRACT: Dizziness accounts for an estimated 5 percent of primary care clinic visits. The patient history can generally classify dizziness into one of four categories: vertigo, disequilibrium, presyncope, or lightheadedness. The main causes of vertigo are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, Meniere disease, vestibular neuritis, and labyrinthitis. Many medications can cause presyncope, and regimens should be assessed in patients with this type of dizziness. Parkinson disease and diabetic neuropathy should be considered with the diagnosis of disequilibrium. Psychiatric disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and hyperventilation syndrome, can cause vague lightheadedness. The differential diagnosis of dizziness can be narrowed with easy-to-perform physical examination tests, including evaluation for nystagmus, the Dix-Hallpike maneuver, and orthostatic blood pressure testing. Laboratory testing and radiography play little role in diagnosis. A final diagnosis is not obtained in about 20 percent of cases. Treatment of vertigo includes the Epley maneuver (canalith repositioning) and vestibular rehabilitation for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, intratympanic dexamethasone or gentamicin for Meniere disease, and steroids for vestibular neuritis. Orthostatic hypotension that causes presyncope can be treated with alpha agonists, mineralocorticoids, or lifestyle changes. Disequilibrium and lightheadedness can be alleviated by treating the underlying cause.
Anemia in Older Persons - Article
ABSTRACT: Anemia in older persons is commonly overlooked despite mounting evidence that low hemoglobin levels are a significant marker of physiologic decline. Using the World Health Organization definition of anemia (hemoglobin level less than 13 g per dL [130 g per L] in men and less than 12 g per dL [120 g per L] in women), more than 10 percent of persons older than 65 years are anemic. The prevalence increases with age, approaching 50 percent in chronically ill patients living in nursing homes. There is increasing evidence that even mild anemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Anemia warrants evaluation in all older persons, except those at the end of life or who decline interventions. About one third of persons have anemia secondary to a nutritional deficiency, one third have anemia caused by chronic inflammation or chronic kidney disease, and one third have unexplained anemia. Nutritional anemia is effectively treated with vitamin or iron replacement. Iron deficiency anemia often is caused by gastrointestinal bleeding and requires further investigation in most patients. Anemia of chronic inflammation or chronic kidney disease may respond to treatment of the underlying disease and selective use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents. The treatment of unexplained anemia is difficult, and there is little evidence that treatment decreases morbidity and mortality, or improves quality of life. Occasionally, anemia may be caused by less common but potentially treatable conditions, such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia, malignancy, or myelodysplastic syndrome.
The Geriatric Assessment - Article
ABSTRACT: The geriatric assessment is a multidimensional, multidisciplinary assessment designed to evaluate an older person's functional ability, physical health, cognition and mental health, and socioenvironmental circumstances. It is usually initiated when the physician identifies a potential problem. Specific elements of physical health that are evaluated include nutrition, vision, hearing, fecal and urinary continence, and balance. The geriatric assessment aids in the diagnosis of medical conditions; development of treatment and follow-up plans; coordination of management of care; and evaluation of long-term care needs and optimal placement. The geriatric assessment differs from a standard medical evaluation by including nonmedical domains; by emphasizing functional capacity and quality of life; and, often, by incorporating a multidisciplinary team. It usually yields a more complete and relevant list of medical problems, functional problems, and psychosocial issues. Well-validated tools and survey instruments for evaluating activities of daily living, hearing, fecal and urinary continence, balance, and cognition are an important part of the geriatric assessment. Because of the demands of a busy clinical practice, most geriatric assessments tend to be less comprehensive and more problem-directed. When multiple concerns are presented, the use of a "rolling" assessment over several visits should be considered.

Diagnostic Approach to Chronic Constipation in Adults - Article
ABSTRACT: Constipation is traditionally defined as three or fewer bowel movements per week. Risk factors for constipation include female sex, older age, inactivity, low caloric intake, low-fiber diet, low income, low educational level, and taking a large number of medications. Chronic constipation is classified as functional (primary) or secondary. Functional constipation can be divided into normal transit, slow transit, or outlet constipation. Possible causes of secondary chronic constipation include medication use, as well as medical conditions, such as hypothyroidism or irritable bowel syndrome. Frail older patients may present with nonspecific symptoms of constipation, such as delirium, anorexia, and functional decline. The evaluation of constipation includes a history and physical examination to rule out alarm signs and symptoms. These include evidence of bleeding, unintended weight loss, iron deficiency anemia, acute onset constipation in older patients, and rectal prolapse. Patients with one or more alarm signs or symptoms require prompt evaluation. Referral to a subspecialist for additional evaluation and diagnostic testing may be warranted.
Why I Let My Patients See My Notes - Opinion
Diagnosis and Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis - Article
ABSTRACT: Plantar fasciitis, a self-limiting condition, is a common cause of heel pain in adults. It affects more than 1 million persons per year, and two-thirds of patients with plantar fasciitis will seek care from their family physician. Plantar fasciitis affects sedentary and athletic populations. Obesity, excessive foot pronation, excessive running, and prolonged standing are risk factors for developing plantar fasciitis. Diagnosis is primarily based on history and physical examination. Patients may present with heel pain with their first steps in the morning or after prolonged sitting, and sharp pain with palpation of the medial plantar calcaneal region. Discomfort in the proximal plantar fascia can be elicited by passive ankle/first toe dorsiflexion. Diagnostic imaging is rarely needed for the initial diagnosis of plantar fasciitis. Use of ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging is reserved for recalcitrant cases or to rule out other heel pathology; findings of increased plantar fascia thickness and abnormal tissue signal the diagnosis of plantar fasciitis. Conservative treatments help with the disabling pain. Initially, patient-directed treatments consisting of rest, activity modification, ice massage, oral analgesics, and stretching techniques can be tried for several weeks. If heel pain persists, then physician-prescribed treatments such as physical therapy modalities, foot orthotics, night splinting, and corticosteroid injections should be considered. Ninety percent of patients will improve with these conservative techniques. Patients with chronic recalcitrant plantar fasciitis lasting six months or longer can consider extracorporeal shock wave therapy or plantar fasciotomy.

happywithnewbulbs said... I believe the italics were for emphasis
Actually, in the world of grammar and language, bold print stands for emphasis. Italics stands for quotes. ;)
But here's another one: "HUD kicks 101yr old woman out of her home!"
huffington post:
Texana Hollis was evicted Sept. 12 and her belongings placed outside after her 65-year-old son failed to pay property taxes linked to a reverse mortgage and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development foreclosed on the home.
Two days later, the department said she could return. But now, HUD said it won't let Hollis move back in because of the house's condition. She had lived there about 60 years.
Doesn't Detroit have tax relief for the elderly? From age 80 or 85 on in most states a property owner isn't required to pay property taxes. This is the way HUD is gobbling up property in many states from the elderly and disabled, I guess?
Tragic anniversary of Roe v. Wade abortion ruling
conservative said... Over 1 million abortions performed annually and estimates of over 50 million since Roe vs Wade!
That's only because they started keeping count. Remember when abortions were illegal no one can really say how many were carried out. The numbers could have been much much higher. I know when I was in high school decades ago, none of the female stundents wanted to miss school on a Monday because rumors would start to fly that they'd had the coathanger job done to them over the weekend. Meaning they'd had an abortion where someone used a coathanger to abort the fetus.
Property rights at stake in Supreme Court case
happywithnewbulbs said... The poster above said "the sole purpose" which means that every person with power must be intent on using it for evil.
That's actually a quote the person was referencing. I've seen it in a book and other reading material about power, people in power and how power corrupts. I think that's why the poster place the the sentence in italics. That's usually a sign someone is quoting, and it is not the actual words of the poster.
But then again, how often do we see people in positions of power who do not abuse and take advantage of their position?
2011 job creation mainly in low-paying fields
conservative said... Depression era movies and pictures often showed people carrying placards for a job. For the first time in my life I have quite often seen the same as I travel
Now, now, conservative. You know you're lying. Those people carrying placards for a job have been around as far back as anyone can remember. They're called homeless or day workers. Anything, everything you conservatives can dream up to blame on the president you'll try. If baby-conservative pooped his pants instead of going to the potty, you'd say President Obama was the cause for junior-conservative not being fully potty trained.
Property rights at stake in Supreme Court case
All people aren't evil. However, it only takes one evil person in a position of power and authority to bring untold suffering to many. Hitler comes to mind. So does Idi Amin. Joseph Stalin and a few others. Evil will always exist in the world. It's the evil that man in power and with authority is capable of committing that is the problem.
Don't Ask
rick1 said... davisss13, I was only speaking about Alpo. I appreciate all former and current members of our military.
Just a reminder: The GOPers who've suddenly come to love all things military since Obama became president, despised the military when Bush was in office. When military men and women complained about unsafe, dangerous and faulty equipment they were being forced to use GOPers and their supporters told'em to suck-it-up. Wasn't it Rushie Limbaugh who said "they volunteered didn't they" when military men and women complained? Then Bumpastilskin rumsfeld threaten court martial against any Marine, Airman, Soldier, Navy person who got on camera and complained to the media about unsafe and dangerous equipment and conditions in Iraq. Bushie was too busy tripping over pretzels and bumping his head to give a %$#@! one way or the other. All your right wingnut conservatives were attacking the military under Bush. Now, all of a sudden it's WE LOVE OUR MEN AND WOMEN FIGHTING FOR O'R FREEDOMS? Sorry, no one with any real sense is buying that fake crap!
Don't Ask
chattanoogatennesseeusa said... Looks like Gingrich is gaining in S.C. I guess it's a Bill Clinton thing, huh??? attack on Gingrich by Democrats about cheating is hypocracy
actually, ctu, the attacks are coming from Gingrich own GOP camp. The same went for Herman Cain. They got rid of the lone fly-in-da-buttermilk first. The Dems haven't had to so much as lift a finger. The GOP are vaporizing and gobbling up one another. LOL!
Don't Ask
happywithnewbulbs said... aidehua, I believe it says sister, not daughter. But if the personal character and activities of a president are not important, what does that make Newt Gingrich's own actions regarding another president?
I have to agree with you on this one, hwnb. After all, wasn't it the GOP who ran on a ticket of wholesome "Christian" and family values and morals? Didn't they accuse Clinton of lacking in those areas and use those very same reasons have him impeached? They've painted themselves into a corner by pointing fingers when they had so many skeletons in their own closet.

Randy Lions should read the truth about voter ID fraud:
The trend throughout the United States is to enact new laws that will make photo IDs a prerequisite for participating in the democratic process. Proponents of voter ID laws use voting in lieu of dead people as the main example of fraud, while opponents point out that there is no evidence of widespread fraud and significant evidence that such laws make it more difficult for students and those in lower-income brackets to vote. Lawmakers in South Carolina used the accusation that 957 dead people voted in the "recent elections" as proof of the need for voter ID laws—a claim the New York Times' Andrew Rosenthal points out is very poorly supported. (The Justice Department has blocked the measure in South Carolina, so voters on Saturday will not need a photo ID to vote.)
But surely by accident, O'Keefe has actually given use some extremely valuable data about the cost-benefit of trying to vote on behalf of a cadaver. Of the handful of people O'Keefe sent into voting centers to vote as dead people, at least one was recognized as being an imposter. It is unclear how much trouble he or the rest of Project Veritas will end up in since they did not actually cast the ballots they obtained; TPM reports that merely obtaining the ballots fraudulently could violate federal law as well, even if no voting took place. Project Veritas refused to tell me how many people participated in their stunt, but I can be extremely conservative and say that voting for a dead person carries at least a 1 in 100 risk of being recognized and possibly ending up in legal trouble.

We must pity the loons, hwnb. These are the same loons who would blame the firefighters for water damage to their home where the arsonist is the one who started the fire. They are to be pitied. :(
