Pronounced: Deng-ay
Rosalyn Carson-DeWitt, MD
Dengue fever is a flu-like illness. The infection is passed to humans through mosquito bites. Children and infants who are infected may have no symptoms or only a minor, flu-like illness. Adults who become infected may develop a more severe, life-threatening illness.
You should contact your doctor immediately if you suspect that you have dengue fever.
Dengue fever is caused by one of four specific dengue viruses. They are passed to humans by
infected mosquitoes. The bite can allow the virus to enter the bloodstream and spread through the body. Once in the body the virus may cause dengue fever.

Travel to tropical or subtropical areas can increase your chance of getting dengue fever. Areas with known dengue fever include:
Young children or those with their first infection may have very mild symptoms. Primary symptoms are a high fever and at least two of the following:
The fever tends to decline within 3-7 days after symptoms begin. As the fever decreases, warning signs of a severe infection may appear. Warning signs can include:
A severe infection can lead to shock and organ failure.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor will also ask about recent travel to high-risk areas.
Blood tests may be done to look for:
You may be referred to a specialist.
There are no medications currently available that can provide a cure. Treatment is aimed at providing support while the body fights off and eliminates the virus. Supportive care may include:
If you are in an area with known dengue fever, the following steps may help decrease your risk of dengue fever:
Vaccines are under development, but are not currently available.

Gallery: The Bone Yard Project Enlivens Derelict Military Aircraft with...
Nunca's transformation of a DC3 is among the most striking of the painted aircraft—the plane itself adopts the markings of an eagle, carrying men alongside it presenting a fantastical, romantic and yet mildly terrifying vision of flight. The intricacy of the painting is staggering; the craft itself carries a 95 foot wing span—and yet individual feathers along the carriage of the plane are painted in meticulous detail.
Many of the artists worked within the specific identity of the crafts themselves, described by Firestone as "the cold machines of war." The Pima Air and Space Museum, which hosted an exhibition of the work, explained that some pieces "addressed the positive and negative associations we each carry towards the difficult history of war, and many spoke more directly to their own individual relationships to this material including memories of parents who were air force or civilian pilots." Retna's craft, titled "Warning Shot," creates an abstracted US flag from an array of repeated symbols encasing the entire plane.
Smaller works in the series, organized by Eric Firestone with curator Carlo McCormick, give a nod to the precedent for the collection; "Nose Jobs" present the (relatively) small cones from the front of planes painted as curious art objects in a similar manner as World War II pilots painted the nose cones of their aircraft.

I believe any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle...Victorious
Why are people mad that Long wants more money? I'm stunned that a standard negotiating tactic riles up so many Dolphins fans. If there's someone willing to pay him the money he desires, that's how the NFL works. When Dansby, fans weren't mad at him because he refused to take less money to stay with the Cardinals. This is how the NFL works, if a team and a player can't meet on a perceived value, the player leaves. It doesn't make them selfish, it doesn't make them a bad person, it doesn't make them any less of a player - if you can get more money for your services, you should.
Long doesn't owe you anything and the Dolphins don't owe Long anything. Any one who thinks that would be a terrible GM or agent. Get off your high horse and move onto another topic, rather than bashing an otherwise fine human being. I'm astounded at the amount of people who will turn on a player, coach or exec in a minute without so much as a sliver of knowledge of the situation. I'm all for talking about anything Dolphins related, but surely there's something better to talk about.
Thumper is probably right with 7 mil though.
IMO, the thing you need to ask is, "Can we get someone better?"
let smith walk because he can't tackle, and gets beat too much, he's a 3rd tier CB at least
that's right in line with what i was thinking...it's too much...let jake walk...
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"

En español | If you've been procrastinating on money matters, now is the take-control moment for you and your finances. Below are five smart financial moves to help keep your next 50 years financially sound.
1. Speed up paying down debt.
You don't want to be dealing with mounds of debt as you work those last few years before retiring. Calculate your current debt load and start paying off larger debts as soon as you can. This includes any car loans, mortgages, large credit card balances and personal loans that you've been carrying around for a while.
Most retirees who own their homes free and clear will tell you that living without a mortgage is financially liberating.
The issue of the tax benefits associated with a mortgage usually comes up when people are faced with the decision of paying that loan off ahead of schedule. "I've always said not to let the tax tail wag the dog," says Aric Jacobson, a certified financial planner in the San Diego, Calif., area. "There certainly can be a big incentive to keep that nice mortgage interest deduction going. But we are talking about debt. The higher the interest rate, the stronger the argument for paying the debt off sooner."
Jacobson says that if you can enter retirement without a big mortgage payment, you can most likely live on a lot less. If you can't eliminate your mortgage altogether, consider slashing your housing costs by refinancing your home loan at a lower interest rate. If you do choose to refinance, "You don't want to refinance into a term longer than your current mortgage," Jacobson says.
2. Look at your life insurance.
If you don't have life insurance, or think you may be underinsured, now is a good time to consider your and your family's life insurance needs. The American Council of Life Insurers recommends having life insurance coverage of seven to 10 times your salary. So if you're earning $50,000 annually, you'd want a policy that would pay your beneficiaries between $350,000 and $500,000.
Again, this is a broad rule of thumb and life insurance experts caution that your own individual needs may vary greatly based on such factors as:
- the amount of debt you would want paid off.
- how much money (if any) you'd want to leave your spouse, children or relatives.
- the number of charitable contributions you'd like to make upon your death.
"The need for life insurance doesn't end when someone hits a magic age," says Dave Simbro, senior vice president at Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance. "People often find when they reach their 50s, right when their term insurance might be expiring, that their life insurance needs actually increase."

Throwing to the Rays
Roy Hobbs: Red, it took me sixteen years to get here. You play me, and I'll give ya the best I got.
Red Blow: I believe ya.
-The Natural
When I walked out of the clubhouse, through the tunnel, and onto the right field of the Rays' Spring Training stadium, I felt like a big leaguer. It was just like in the movies, the pitchers were warming up in the outfield, the hitters were practicing base running, and Manager Joe Maddon was leaning against the dugout fence, fielding questions from a circle of reporters. It was my first outing in the Grapefruit League and I was pumped to be throwing batting practice to the Tampa Bay Rays.
The movie experience began from the beginning. I was taken through the clubhouse and dropped off at the equipment room. To my left was a wall of
Rays clothing and to my right were rows of bats, helmets, and any other
equipment a player could ever need. I walked out of the room in a full Rays
uniform and a pile of sweet Rays gear.
Joe Maddon was the first Manager I spoke to at the Baseball Winter Meetings. We briefly discussed my baseball background, talked logistics, and then with a smile he said he wanted to make this happen. With his personal email address in my hand and an affirmation that my dream was possible, I spent the next few days approaching more MLB teams. And the conversation began with, "You know the Rays are going to…"
When Johnny Damon introduced himself to me I knew this would be a different BP experience. For a morning, I felt like I was a part of the Rays team. Manny Ramirez and I talked over the water cooler. I watched some BP from behind the cage and chatted with Don Zimmer and Sam Fuld. I was hanging out, just as any coach would.
It was the fourth and final round of batting practice when I stepped behind the L-screen and readied to throw. The Toronto Blue Jays were already on the field preparing for game. So, both the Rays and the Jays were staring and waiting for me to toss the first pitch. With my heart beating fast, I wiped the sweat off my hands, looked at the batter, and fired in a strike.
I could hear 'Hey Soul Sister' over the loud speaker. "Just sing to the music," I told myself. …."I'm throwing my best BP yet," I admitted silently. …I then wonder, "Why does Maddon have his arm up in a throwing position. Is he talking about my mechanics?" I throw a ball as I ponder whether my mechanics are ok. ….So, I start singing again. "This is fun," I thought smiling. And then the strikes reappeared.
With Maddon being the first manager to believe in me and my mission of baseball for all, perhaps it should be no surprise that the Rays did what no other team had done. They directly encouraged my efforts. And the one simple but powerful statement I kept hearing over and over again from both players and coaches, was: "I think what you are doing is great."
When I was done throwing BP, I spoke to the reporters, signed autographs, and conversed with fans. And as I walked back through the tunnel and into the clubhouse, I thought, "This is way better than the movies."

CARTER G. PHILLIPS is the Managing Partner of the Washington, D.C., office of Sidley Austin LLP, and is a member of the firm's Management Committee. He served as a law clerk to both Judge Robert Sprecher on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and Chief Justice Warren E. Burger on the United States Supreme Court. Mr. Phillips served as Assistant to the Solicitor General for three years, during which time he argued nine cases on behalf of the federal government in the United States Supreme Court. Since joining the firm, Mr. Phillips has argued 44 cases before the Supreme Court, for a career total of 53 appearances, as well as numerous cases in the courts of appeals. Examples of some of his cases are as follows: Mohawk Industries v. Williams, 126 U.S. 2016 (2006), which involved the definition of a RICO "enterprise"; eBay Inc. v. MercExchange, 126 U.S. 1837 (2006), labeled "the most important issue of patent law to be decided by the Supreme Court in decades," determined whether the standard for issuing a permanent injunction in patent cases differ, from the established traditional standard for equitable relief; IBP v. Alvarez, 126 U.S. 514 (2006), determined, on the one hand, that certain types of employee "waiting time" are not compensable under the Fair Labor Standards Act, and on the other hand, that certain types of "walking time" must be compensated; Muehler v. Mena, 125 U.S. 1465 (2005), which involved the constitutionality under the Fourth Amendment of the use of handcuffs to restrain occupants of a residence during a two-hour execution of a search warrant; Norfolk Southern Railway v. Pty. Kirby, 125 U.S. 385 (2004), which involved the question of whether federal law governs the interpretation of certain maritime contracts, and if so, whether contractual liability limits on shippers extend to all downstream carriers such as railroads; Mr. Phillips successfully argued Pegram v. Herdrich, 530 U.S. 211 (2000) which involved the legality of federal law of incentive payments to physicians who participate in managed care organizations. He argued TXO Production Corp. v. Alliances Resources, Corp., 509 U.S. 443 (1993) which involved the due process standards applied to punitive damage awards. Mr. Phillips successfully argued Yee v. City of Escondido, 503 U.S. 519 (1992) which involved a challenge under the Takings Clause to the city's laws regulating mobile homes. Mr. Phillips briefed and argued McNally v. United States, 483 U.S. 350 (1986), in which the Supreme Court struck down the prevailing interpretation of the mail fraud statute that had been used to convict hundreds of public officials, including Governors Mandel and Kerner.
Mr. Phillips is a member of the American Law Institute, the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers and is a Fellow in the American College of Trial Lawyers. He is a member of the Federal Circuit Advisory Committee and was the Chair of the Committee from 2003-2005.

I recently saw Bill Maher's documentary and he mentions that the virgin birth is only mentioned in two of the gospels. He goes on to bug Christian people several times by asking questions such as "How can you believe in the virgin birth if it's only mentioned in two of the gospels?". I know for a fact that the virgin birth is mentioned in the gospels of Matthew (1:18) and Luke (1:26-35), however, it is mentioned in neither Mark nor John. In spite of that, millions of Christians world-wide take the virgin birth for granted. My question is, as stated above, why isn't the virgin birth of Jesus mentioned in all four gospels?
The birth of Jesus is also only mentioned at all in Matthew and Luke. Following the logic, since only half of the Gospels mention that means we should discard the theory that he was ever born at all.
In 100% of the cases where a birth narrative is present, the miracle of God becoming man is mentioned. Indeed, in John, even where the birth narrative isn't present, the incarnation - that God became man - is explicit.
Neither John nor Mark say anything about the birth of Jesus at all, so it is not surprising at all that there is nothing about the virgin birth.
The underlying assumption is that if something is true, it has to appear in all four Gospels. However, if it appeared in all four gospels, some would ask why doesn't it appear in every epistle as well.
It's interesting that people attack the Bible for having four versions of the same story in the Gospels and other people attack the Bible for not having four exact copies of the same story in the Gospels. Some people will find fault no matter what the Bible teaches.
A good answer to bill maher's question would be to ask him if he believes that Jesus died and rose again from the dead, since that is, in fact, recorded in all four gospels. Of course he would say he does not, because he doesn't believe the Bible. By the same token, those who believe that Jesus did die and rise again are well prepared to believe that Jesus is also virgin born, even though only two gospel accounts record that. One witness would have been sufficient--two is more than enough.
Mark and John, as Affable Geek noted, do not even record Jesus' birth. The books were written to concentrate on different aspects of Jesus life.
So, maher's question was nonsensical at its very root.
Because mentioning it wasn't important to Mark or John.
It's really that simple. The writers of the Gospel accounts & the epistles weren't trying to mention everything that's true. They weren't even trying to mention everything that matters.
Maher's attempt to turn this into any kind of argument is pretty silly. (Affable Geek and Narnian say more about that.) I'm afraid I can't understand how anyone can see his question "How can you believe in the virgin birth if it's only mentioned in two of the gospels?" as anything but an obvious non sequitur. It's reaching & empty rhetoric, not rational skepticism.
The virgin birth story originated with the interpretation that the Greeks gave to the writings which we now know as the New Testament.
With the missionary activities of Paul and others, the passing of the original followers of Jesus and the destruction of Jerusalem, the NT soon fell into the hands of the Greeks. They interpreted the Hebrew Scriptures through the prism of their own culture, and gave meanings to words and phrases never intended by the NT authors.
For example the Holy Spirit coming "upon" Mary is read as a virginal conception. However there are dozens of instances in the Bible where the Holy Spirit came "upon" individuals, usually men, but only in Mary's case is it read as God impregnating someone.
Also these gentile custodians of the NT gave a ridiculous interpretation of Mary's question to the angel (Lk 1:34). They have her saying that she does not know how she could get pregnant in the future because currently she is a virgin!
And supposedly Matthew misquoted Isaiah's prophecy and therefore has Jesus fulfilling a prophecy that never was.
I could go on, but to cut a long story short, Matthew and Luke said nothing about a virgin birth. What they did say was that Joseph was not Jesus' father. Luke 3:23, when translated as Erasmus did names Heli as the father of Jesus.
For those interested in looking at these points discussed in more depth, might I suggest - http://www.wallsofjericho.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=26

Original Toothbrush
"When people brush their teeth, two of the biggest mistakes people make are brushing too hard and not long enough, but the RADIUS Original helps combat these two issues with its customized grip and wide head. With its thin, gentle bristles that reach all areas of the mouth easily, the RADIUS Original helps people meet ADA recommendations with their dental habits."
—Richard Reddy, D.D.S.

"What is special about the RADIUS Source is that it takes into consideration the earth while still providing a remarkable brush for cleaning teeth. With its slender, oval head and fine, gentle bristles, the Source reaches all surface areas of the mouth and gums — perfect for someone who has a tough time reaching back molars."

Many parents are not even aware that babies and young toddlers can also benefit from the use of a toothbrush. Starting at a young age is crucial for a long-lasting, healthy mouth, and we are happy to have RADIUS leading this initiative."

I think this is a pretty rock-solid way to go about finding that one* special person to spend a lifetime of happiness with. Maybe I shouldn't be revealing my secrets in such a public forum without charging money, but the hell with it. I'm in a giving mood!
1. Whenever I'm sketching something out--be it for a design idea or any reason at all-- or if somebody else is sketching something out/doodling, OR if I find myself playing Pictionary with a group of people--which happens more often than you'd think-- I will at some point blurt out, "Baby Fish Mouth!"**
2. I pause to see if anyone laughs.
3. If so, I find out if he's laughing because: a) those 3 words sound funny together but he doesn't know what it's from, b) he thinks I have a head injury, or c) because he actually knows what movie scene the phrase is from and thinks it's funny, too.
4. If "a": I reenact the scene, reveal the movie and wait for his eyes to glaze over. Usually doesn't take long once he knows what movie the quote is from. Usually at this point, the other females in the room start talking about how that movie changed their lives in every way possible and all the dudes tune out.
Fun fact: My other favorite line in that scene is, "Draw something resembling anything!****"
*Or, you know, whatever. Maybe you plan on spending your lifetime with several. I'm not judging you, Elizabeth Taylor.
**I have been known to blurt out many movie quotes at all hours of the day in any situation. Single men, that is your cue to hit on me because obviously we have the same taste in movies.

As the real estate market continues to improve, potential buyers are coming out in droves.
Low mortgage rates, a stronger economy and the spring season, when more homes are put up for sale, are helping to drive demand.
In some parts of the nation, demand now exceeds supply. And many homes are being purchased within days, if not hours, of going on the market.
If buyers aren't competing for your newly listed home, could it be that it's not dressed to impress?
"Boomers and older folks always have a much harder time selling their homes. It takes them longer because they're often not aware how much work a home needs to get ready for showing," says Barbara Corcoran, a host of ABC's Shark Tank, who parlayed a $1,000 loan into a $5 billion real estate empire.
Beyond getting a great Realtor with expertise in your area, competitive pricing and the much ballyhooed "staging" and removing clutter, what else can you do to make your home stand out from others for a quicker sale? Here are some lesser-known tips from the experts:
1. Price with round numbers
In reviewing a year of sales in the Houston area, Realtor Jim Mulholland finds that homes listed at or just above "00" sold in about 2-1/2 weeks compared with 4 weeks for properties with "99." His reasoning: "If I'm a consumer looking in the $300K to $400K price range, there's a good chance I will completely miss some very nice homes listed at $299K."
2. Don't skimp on photos
As the most valued feature of real estate websites, photographs of the home turn lookers into visitors. So make them count. "You can't have too many photos as long as they're great, but have at least six," says Corcoran. She suggests hiring professionals who specialize in photographing homes. "It's best not to have a Realtor shoot them," she adds.
The shoot should be done on a sunny day, after curtains are removed. You should also tell the photographer about your favorite views or your home's best features, suggests Patricia Pipkin of the National Association of Realtors. You'll want to review photos before they're posted, but they should include an exterior front, main living area, kitchen, bedrooms and master bath.
3. Storage space sells
Roomy closets and other storage space ranks among today's most desired features, especially with younger people who typically buy boomers' homes. "Problem is," notes Debra Carney-Schoepe, a Realtor in the Philadelphia suburbs, "many boomers live in older homes with limited storage space. So remove excess seasonal clothing from closets and 'color-code' what's left on the sides to make small spaces look larger and more organized — with empty hangers in the middle."
Shelving units or organizers in walk-in closets are a fast-growing must-have — and worth their $200 price tag. Also, pare down kitchen cabinets and remove drain cleaners and other products that may indicate potential problems.

Start with a Robust and Reliable Foundation
Networking and Securing the Virtual Datacenter
VMware vCloud Networking and Security provides rich networking and security functionality for virtualized compute environments, built using the vCloud Suite. It provides a broad range of services delivered through virtual appliances, such as a virtual firewall, virtual private network (VPN), load balancing, NAT, DHCP and VXLAN-extended networks. These foundational capabilities for the vCloud Suite enhance operational efficiency, improve agility with control and enable extensibility to partner solutions.
vCloud Networking and Security is deployed on top of vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS). VDS enables centralized network provisioning, administration, and monitoring using cluster-level network aggregation for data center access switching. VDS enables individual host-level virtual switches to be abstracted into a single large VDS that spans multiple hosts at the data center level, with vCenter Server™ acting as the control point for all configured VDS instances.
vCloud Networking and Security components:
- Edge Virtual Appliance – Provides networking and security gateway services, such as firewall, NAT, load balancer, VPN and DHCP. Edge High Availability protects against network, host and software failures.
- App Firewall – Segments and isolates critical applications within the virtual data center using vNIC-level firewalling.
- VXLAN – VXLAN, in conjunction with VDS, creates Layer 2 logical networks that are encapsulated in standard Layer 3 IP packets. A large number of isolated Layer 2 VXLAN networks can co-exist on a common Layer 3 infrastructure. These logical networks can span non-contiguous clusters or pods, without the need for VLANs, enabling customers to scale their applications across clusters and pods. VXLAN requires multicast to be turned on in Top of Rack (ToR) switches.
- Data Security – Scans virtual workloads for sensitive data and reports regulation violations so you can quickly assess the state of compliance with global regulations.
- vCloud Ecosystem Framework – Integrates partner services at the vNIC, virtual edge or policy management plane through REST APIs.
Management integration with VMware vCenter Server™ and VMware vCloud Director® reduces the cost and complexity of datacenter operations. With vCloud Networking and Security, enterprises can virtualize business critical applications with confidence, secure VMware View deployments and build secure and agile private clouds.
VMware includes, with select vSphere editions, vShield Endpoint to secure your virtual machine endpoints with highly-efficient anti-virus and data security. vShield Endpoint works in conjunction with industry-leading security vendors allowing their technology – implemented as virtual appliances – to protect endpoint virtual machines without resource-sapping agents. vShield Endpoint applies security at the hypervisor layer using introspection to monitor memory, network traffic and storage in every virtual machine. vShield Endpoint is virtualization-aware security that is more scalable, efficient and simpler to manage than legacy agent-based approaches designed for physical machines.

various / wierd records - The Wierd Compilation Volume II: Analogue Electronic Music 2008, Part 2
This is the second part of an immense collection of neo-Wave tracks, from minimalist cold wave to experimental synth-noise, collated by the hugely respected Wierd Records outta New York. Inspired by the seminal compilations of early industrial music such as Xtract Records' 'The Elephant Table' and the 'Insane Music' cassette series, this comp unites artists from Miami to NYC and continental Europe under a banner of resistance to computerised sound and polished pop. The revitalised synthesizer is used a folk instrument not unlike the acoustic guitar or violin only decades before, reborn as a conduit of human expression vulnerable to sleight of hand and the contrary whims of its user. Xeno & Oaklander's Martial Canterel offers a huge highlight on the Anglophilic, angular electro-pop of 'Pathway Splits Apart', amidst stringent EBM like Led Er Est's 'Woman In A Cafe/Communication' and strange synth forms from groups with amazing names like Sleep Museum and Cadaver In Drag. Highly recommended!

Gallery: Felipe Carrelli Turns Abandoned Cars into Public Art in São Pa...
Carrelli came up with the idea to clean, paint and put some plants in the car, turning it from a dump into a work of art and a beautiful garden. He shared this idea with friends Tobias Rodil and Thiago Carvalhaes and together, the three brought the idea to life, calling the project Ocupe Carrinho, or Occupy the Car. The group got help from Carelli's parents who live in the Sao Paulo countryside and who donated a bunch of plants to the project. They also got help from the organization, Festival Baixo Centro, which supports positive urban interventions in central Sao Paulo.
The urban intervention was welcomed by the neighborhood, so much so that a lot of residents helped to beautify the car. "People from the community were happy," says Carrelli, "they helped us paint and also water the plants." As soon as the neighbors began to help, the urban intervention became a collective effort towards improving the neighborhood. The grassroots urban intervention helped empower residents to change a condition that before they thought they couldn't.
So how has the government been reacting to Ocupe Carrinho's efforts to turn abandoned cars into art and garden spaces? There have been mixed reactions. After Carrelli's second intervention, the government took their finished work away in two days to an abandoned car yard. On the other hand, when the police pass by while the group is painting the cars, they don't stop to hassle them. Carrelli figures they are not disturbing or destroying public property, just improving private property that was abandoned. He is also aware of the government's role in the blight caused by abandoned cars in Sao Paulo, of which there are many. "The government has a duty to take the abandoned car away when people in the community ask them. But the government isn't efficient enough, nor does it have the desire to recover all of the abandoned cars in the city. So they support us in silence," says Carrelli.
So far, Ocupe Carrinho has transformed three abandoned cars into works of art and garden spaces. They plan to do more, as they have received nothing but good feedback from the neighborhoods in which they intervene.

"Mr. Johnson, the assistant principal, has told me that he is so appreciative of our donation as so many children come from families that cannot afford such supplies," said Monica Finocchiaro, M.D., director of the rehabilitation unit at Weiss.
Last year, W.I.S.H. held a similar school supply drive, which Dr. Finocchiaro called "extremely successful." The group donated 800 items to the Swift Elementary Specialty School, 900 N. Winthrop Ave.
Dr. Finocchiaro started the W.I.S.H. organization because she saw potential to make a connection between two entities—the Uptown neighborhood and the compassionate staff at Weiss. In doing so, she helped make Weiss more than a place for people to go when they're sick. It became a thriving source that brings good to the community.
"Weiss Hospital has so many caring and giving staff members that recognize the needs in our area. I felt that many people here would be willing to and would want to help the community in which we work," she said. "The Uptown area, although up and coming, still has a large underserved population."
Fortunately, many social services organizations exist in the neighborhood. Since January 2009, Dr. Finocchiaro has led the "small but committed" W.I.S.H. group in supporting those services. The group chooses a different organization to assist each month. So far, they have collected toiletries for Northside Supportive Services, prepared sandwiches and cold lunches for Inspiration Café, and donated food items to the food pantry at St. Thomas of Canterbury Church.
W.I.S.H. also promotes Jeans Days at Weiss, during which employees make a donation of at least $1 to wear jeans to work. Typically, more than 100 employees participate, and W.I.S.H. has given the money collected to Alternatives, the McCormick Boys and Girls Club, Sarah's Circle, the People's Church and the People's Music School.
"We hope that by pooling our resources and ideas we can make an impact," Dr. Finocchiaro said, adding that all of the organizations have been grateful, "and although the collections may not be extremely large, they make a difference in our community."
Sometimes, though, W.I.S.H. takes action beyond the Weiss community. After the Haitian earthquake this past January, Weiss employees requested that the month's W.I.S.H. project be a collection for Haiti. Vanguard Health Systems, the parent company of Weiss, offered to match each donation, and by the end, the Weiss donations gave more than $7,000 to various relief organizations.
For this month's school supply drive, the impact is clearly visible. Piles of notebooks, pencils, pens, folders, tape, scissors and more fill a table in the Senior Center. As of last Friday, Weiss staff had donated close to 900 items, but Dr. Finocchiaro said she hopes to reach the 1,000 mark by the end of this week.
Moving forward, the group plans on collecting coats and hats for winter. They also regularly accept all types of clothing, which support the W.I.S.H. Closet, providing clothes to patients in need at the time of discharge.
"Weiss is so fortunate to have such a great group of people who want to help make a difference. W.I.S.H. has been successful because of the heart of the staff here," Dr. Finocchiaro said.
To donate to the school supply drive, bring any pens, crayons, pencils, notebooks, paper, glue or folders to the WISE Senior Center, located on the first floor of the hospital near the C elevators. All donations must be in by Thursday, Sept. 9.

Ladies and Gentlemen introducing FinHeaven's new and improved warning system!
As you may have noticed in the bottom left corner of your posts, under your user information, there's is a warning level meter.
How that works is, we are going to assign points to various violations of the TOS. Each time a poster violates a rule he/she will be warned with a PM and a notation in the post. The member can also click on the warning percentage icon to see his/her warning information, including your violation, how many points it was worth, when those points will expire and which staff member issued the warning.
Each user can only see their own warning level while Admins and Mods can see Everyones.
I think it's important to note that, like I mentioned, your warning points will come with an expiration date. This essentially allows you to wipe the slate clean after a predetermined length of time. The length of time will be 30 days for a first offense....60 days for a second offense.....and 90 days for a third offense. These lengths are non-negotiable.
Now, there may come a time when you disagree with a warning, at that point it's best to handle that through the proper channels, which are to private message the staff member who issued the warning or, if you aren't able to use the private message system, use the Questions and Suggestions forum. Off-topic complaining in the thread that your warning is issued, or creating a complaint thread in the wrong forum, will result in another warning and more points being added. So please think before you react.
When a member reaches 10 points he or she will be banned for an amount of time to be determined by the staff. The member will also be sent a PM explaining the length of time the ban will last and the reason for the ban. The member will be able to read private messages but, not send.
Your only recourse at this time is to contact an Admin by e-mail and wait until he gets back to you.
Creating another user name to circumvent your ban, will result in more time being added to your ban, or eventually, permanent bannishment from this site.
We hope that most members can see the positive side of this system which gives everyone plenty of warning and a chance to improve their standing before any action is taken. We want everyone to enjoy this site and we don't ever want to have to ban anyone but, we feel like this way provides all our members with the comfort of knowing exactly what we expect, and knowing that we will be doing our best to make everyone's time here enjoyable and problem free.
I'm going to show the points totals here but, remember if you need to see them again, they will be added to the TOS for your viewing pleasure. We recomend you reveiw the full TOS while you're there.
Anyway, here they are...
First Offense:
Personal Attack - 4pts
Circumventing Profanity Filter - 2pts
Off-Topic\Wrong Fourm - 2pts
Sig Size - 1pt
Avatar/Sig inappropriate - 1pt
Breaking News/Misleading thread titles - 2pts
Posting full article - 1pt
Spam/linking to other fan sites - 2pts
Annoyance - 3pts
Quoted text in sig - 1pt
Altering quoted text - 2pts
Multiple username - 2pts
At first glance the totals may look low but, there is another part of the system that i haven't mentioned yet.....A second offense, doubles the point total, and a third offense triples it.
In the case of a personal attack, you don't go from 4 to 8, you go from 4 to 12. That means two personall attacks within 30 days nets you time off and 8 of those points extend for 60 days.
Any questions our comments are welcome in this thread. Please, tell us what you think.
Thank You,
FinHeaven Staff

If you want the aggressive skates / shoes to last longer you will have to buy a size 7. This gives him / her some growing room, but now there is more room in the skate / shoe than needed! In order to pull the fancy tricks and grinds that aggressive skates and shoes are suppose to do, they need a TIGHT FITTING skate or shoe. The PostureFLEX super-fit inserts solve this problem. 2 PostureFLEX inserts are cut and fit below the footbed or liner of the skates. This tightens up the entire skate / shoe! Now you have a tight fitting skate that will respond better and feel better, making all the tricks easier to do. Once the kid grows again, simply lift the footbed / liner and take the 2 insert out of each skate. Replace the liner / footbed and off you go.

Competitive Tax Incentives make Tennessee a smart decision for doing business. Tennessee has long been considered a state with one of the most business- friendly economic climates in the nation with one of the nation's lowest per capita tax burdens, no tax on personal income and no state property tax.
7% state sales tax plus the applicable local rate (1.50%-2.75%) on any person or company who manufactures, distributes or sells tangible personal property within the state.
No sales tax is levied on:
Attractive depreciation schedules.
No property tax on:
Tennessee allows "qualified business enterprises" a credit against their franchise and excise taxes based on their capital investment and the number of jobs created. The amount of the credit and the period of time during which it can be used varies according to the size of the investment.
A company investing $500,000 and creating 25 net new jobs in a 36 month period can claim a Job Tax Credit of $4,500 per job to offset up to 50% of the combined F&E tax. Any unused Job Tax Credit may be carried forward for up to 15 years. The approval process for the Job Tax Credit requires a Job Tax Credit Business Plan be filed with the Department of Revenue prior to taking the credit.
A qualified business locating or expanding in a Tier 2 county may take 3 years to create 25 jobs, and business locating or expanding in a Tier 3 county may take 5 years to create 25 jobs. The credit may not be taken until the year the 25 job threshold is met unless the business has requested and received a waiver from the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development and Commissioner of Revenue.
In 2010 Tennessee amended the statutory requirements to allow the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development and Commissioner of Revenue to waive the minimum job requirement of 25 net new jobs if the company has made the necessary $500,000 investment in a 12 month period and the jobs are high-skill, high-wage jobs in high technology areas, emerging occupations or skilled manufacturing. A company must request and receive a waiver before claiming the Job Tax Credit.
For example, if a qualified business enterprise meets the capital investment and job creation requirements in any Tennessee county @ $4,500 per job.

|Amount of Credit
Qualified business enterprises can include:
Tennessee's focus on creating job opportunities in rural areas of Tennessee presents unique hurdles and yet tremendous opportunity. Whether because of limited road access, lack of public infrastructure or difficulty in matching labor skills to job requirements, a different approach is needed. That's why the state of Tennessee offers a program aimed at addressing this challenge called the Rural Opportunity Initiative, or ROI. The ROI provides for Enhanced Job Tax Credits to businesses locating or expanding in certain Tennessee counties considered Tier 2 or Tier 3 Enhancement Counties.
The Enhanced Job Tax Credit was created to promote new industry locations and expansions in more rural areas of the state. On July 1 of each year, the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development may determine that a county qualifies as an Enhancement County if the county experiences substantial characteristics of economic distress. Upon determining that a county qualifies as an Enhancement County, the Department of Economic and Community Development shall designate the county as a Tier 1, Tier 2 or Tier 3 Enhancement County based on unemployment, per capita income and poverty levels of all Tennessee counties using statistical data prepared by an agency of state or federal government. A list of all Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Enhancement Counties is published annually by the Department of Economic and Community Development.
If a qualified business enterprise locates or expands in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 Enhancement County, the company will be eligible for an annual Enhanced Job Tax Credit of $4,500 for each qualified job, provided that the job remains filled during the year in which the credit is being taken. The annual credit may be used to offset up to 100% of the company's total franchise and excise (F&E) tax liability each year for a three-year period in Tier 2 counties and a five-year period in Tier 3 counties. The Enhanced Job Tax Credit for Tier 2 and Tier 3 Enhancement Counties is in addition to the regular Job Tax Credit and cannot be carried forward.
Tier 1 Enhancement Counties: $4,500 jobs tax credit with 15 year carry forward.
Tier 2 Enhancement Counties: $4,500 jobs tax credit with 15 year carry forward plus additional 3 years at $4,500 per year with no carry forward.
Tier 3 Enhancement Counties: $4,500 jobs tax credit with 15 year carry forward plus additional 5 years at $4,500 per year with no carry forward.
NOTE: Jobs Tax Credit may be applied against a company's franchise and/or excise tax liability. To qualify for the Job Tax Credit a company must create 25 net new full-time jobs and increase capital investment by $500,000 in a qualified business enterprise within a 36 month period.
For capital investments in industrial machinery, Tennessee offers businesses an Industrial Machinery Tax Credit that may be used to offset up to 50% of the company's F&E tax liability. To qualify for this credit, companies are not required to create new jobs. The credit applies to the purchase, installation and repair of industrial machinery as defined in T.C.A. 67-6-102. The credit also applies to the purchase and installation of computer, computer software and certain peripheral devices purchased in order to meet the capital investment thresholds of the Job Tax Credit.
Any unused Industrial Machinery Tax Credit may be carried forward for up to 15 years. The percentage of Industrial Machinery Credit allowed is dependent upon the investment made during the investment period as follows
|Capital Investment
|Percentage of Credit
Less than $100,000,000
The investment period for the Industrial Machinery Credit is 3 years, but may be expanded to 5 years for businesses investing less than $1 billion and to 7 years for businesses investing $1 billion or more.
Companies may obtain tax credits for the purchase of materials related to the construction of a qualified data center, which is defined as a building or buildings housing high technology computer systems and related equipment in which the taxpayers had made a minimum capital investment of $250 million and has created 25 new jobs paying at least 150% of the state's average occupational wage.
Tennessee extends certain tax credits to businesses qualified as an "integrated supplier" or "integrated customer" located within the footprint of a project meeting the $1 billion investment threshold and creating 500 or more occupational wage jobs. The purpose of the Integrated Supplier and Integrated Customer Tax Credit is to expand the impact of large "anchor" projects by encouraging co-location of suppliers and customers. An integrated supplier or integrated customer locating within the footprint of such a project will qualify for a Job Tax Super Credit equal to $5,000 per qualified job with a 15 year carry-forward, plus an additional $5,000 per job each year for 6 years.
The Integrated Supplier Tax Credit applies regardless of capital investment or number of jobs created. To qualify for this credit a supplier or customer must first be certified as "integrated" by the Commissioner of Revenue and Commissioner of Economic and Community Development.
In order to encourage companies to locate and expand their regional, national or international corporate headquarters in Tennessee, the state offers a suite of enhanced tax credits to companies that establish or expand a qualified headquarters facility. A "qualified headquarters facility" means a regional, national or international headquarters facility where the taxpayer has made a minimum investment of either.
Super Jobs Tax Credit for Qualified Headquarters
If a taxpayer meets the $10 million capital investment and creates the minimum 100 headquarters jobs paying 150% of the average occupational wage in establishing or expanding a qualified headquarters facility, the taxpayer will also qualify for a Super Credit of $5,000 per job that can be used to offset up to 100% of the taxpayer's F&E liability each year for 3 years with no carry forward.

Scapa 3130 Chroma Key Tape is a polyethylene coated waterproof cloth tape, single coated with a pressure sensitive rubber adhesive. It is a matte finish AV cord tape primarily used in the entertainment industry to match blue screens and green screens. Besides this chroma key tape being used for color keying it can also be used for bundling and holding of wires and cables since it removes easily from surfaces without leaving any residue or marks. Scapa 3130's matte finish prevents the reflection of light, making the product ideal for applications where low light reflectance is essential, especially in theaters, film sets, and studios. The tape can also be used for color coding and identification; floor marking; securing scenery and backdrops to different surfaces; and masking applications such as unwanted film set items. The tape has excellent tear properties; is highly flexible and conformable; has easy unwind, and has good strength and tack.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Don't be intimated by the number of steps. It's one of the least complicated projects I've ever made.
This project was initially developed with the love and support of the Eyebeam OpenLab.
Step 1: Go get stuff
- A MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor (available via Futurlec. Allow a few weeks for shipping from Thailand. Be warned! Ordering anything else from Futurlec may place your order on backorder and leave you waiting a long, long, time without being notified).
- An XLR microphone (you can pick up cheap dynamic XLR microphones intended for karaoke all over the internet)
- An Arduino Decimilla
- Logomatic Data Logger (via Sparkfun)
- An SD Card (can get a cheap 256MB card at Radioshack)
- An SD Card reader
- XLR to 1/4" stereo plug
- A professional-looking audio device (working or not)
- resistors (100K, 10K, 1K)
- a schottky diode
- Acrylic or cardboard
- glue
- solid hookup wire
- 9V battery plug
- 9V battery
- isopropyl rubbing alcohol
- a 12 pack and some friends
(other stuff for interfacing Arduino and data logger?)
Soldering iron
Wire cutters
Mini screwdriver set
Needle nose pliers
Power drill or other rotary tool
Scissors, saw and/or laser cutter (see step 15)
This would be quite the project to take to school....

Authorities in Washington County last week arrived at the site of a reported domestic disturbance to find a Rockville man allegedly armed with three knives, terrorizing his estranged wife.
Sheriff's deputies arrested Samir Lababidi, 49, of Hungerford Drive in Rockville and charged him with attempted second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, burglary, false imprisonment and other crimes.
According to court records, a Washington County sheriff's deputy responding to a domestic disturbance arrived at a Hagerstown home on Sept. 7 and heard a woman "screaming loudly and frantically for help."
Washington County Sheriff's Deputy Jason Litten found Lababidi inside the home, pinning a woman against a bathroom wall, according to charging documents.
Lababidi had three butter knives in his back pocket when he was arrested, charging documents said.
He is being held in lieu of $750,000 bail, an official at the Washington County Detention Center said on Friday.
Deputies learned the woman Lababadi was attacking was his 24-year-old estranged wife.
She told Litten that Labibidi "wanted to kill me," according to the documents.
She had left him three days before the incident in Hagerstown because of "constant" violence in their home, the documents said.
She had left the couple's 4-year-old daughter at home with Lababidi, the report said. Lababidi has lived in the U.S. for 12 years, and works for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, attorneys said in court in Washington County Monday, according to a report in The Herald-Mail.
At about 12:23 a.m., Lababidi arrived at the home on Morning Walk Drive in Hagerstown with the couple's child and pounded on the door. He forced his way in and assaulted his wife, grabbing her hair and threatening to kill her and two other women in the home, charging documents said.
"All she could say is, 'He is going to kill me, he will find and kill me,'" the documents said.
A phone call to the Washington County's Public Defender's Office was not answered Friday afternoon.
A call to Lababidi's residence in Rockville Thursday was not answered.
