Electrical Cardioversion (Defibrillation) for a Fast Heart Rate
Electrical cardioversion is a procedure in which a brief electric shock is given to the heart to reset the heart rhythm back to its normal, regular pattern (normal sinus rhythm). The shock is given through paddles or patches applied to the outside of the chest wall.
Usually, the person is sedated. If the person is conscious, medicine is given to control pain and to cause the person to relax to the point of being nearly unconscious during the procedure.
What To Expect After Treatment
After cardioversion, the person's heart rate and blood pressure are monitored.
Additional drugs to help prevent heart rhythm problems from recurring (antiarrhythmic drugs) may also be given before and after the procedure. If antiarrhythmic drugs are not used after cardioversion, the heart may be at greater risk of going back into a fast heart rate.
After cardioversion, you may take a blood thinner, such as warfarin, for a few weeks to prevent dangerous blood clots.
Why It Is Done
Cardioversion is often used as an emergency procedure to stop a fast heart rate that is causing low blood pressure or severe symptoms. These heart rate problems include supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia.
Also, it is used in nonurgent situations to convert atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter to normal heart rhythm.
How Well It Works
Electrical cardioversion of the heart is very effective. Most people who receive cardioversion return to normal sinus rhythm immediately after the procedure.1
Risks of the procedure include the following:
- A blood clot may become dislodged from the heart and cause a stroke. Your doctor will try to decrease this risk by using anticoagulants or other measures.
- The procedure may not work. Additional cardioversion or other treatment may be needed.
- Antiarrhythmic medicines used before and after cardioversion or even the cardioversion itself may cause a life-threatening irregular heartbeat.
- You can have a reaction to the sedative given before the procedure. Harmful reactions are rare.
- You can get a small area of burn on your skin where the paddles are placed.
What To Think About
Cardioversion is only a temporary fix for a fast heart rate. Medicines (such as beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers or other antiarrhythmic medicines) may be used to keep the heart rate slow when a person has an episode of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). For long-term treatment and to reduce the chance of having another episode of either SVT or ventricular tachycardia (VT), catheter ablation or medicine can be used.

KILLEEN (November 28, 2012)- Police in Killeen were looking Wednesday for a robber who pulled a gun on two other people Tuesday night and then fired twice as he fled with one of the victim's wallets.
It happened at around 7:50 p.m.Tuesday on North 2nd Street in Killeen.
The victims, a man and a woman, were walking from a truck in the driveway to the front door of their home when the robber came up to them, pulled out a gun and demanded money and other items, police said.
At one point the man pulled the trigger on the gun, but it didn't go off, police said.
The male victim then pulled out his wallet and threw it at the robber.
In response the robber fired at the man, but missed, police said.
Then the woman threw a flowerpot at the robber and hit him on the head, police said.
The man then ran off and fired a second shot that hit the passenger window of the truck in the driveway, police said.
The man was black, and was wearing a mask-style beanie cap, a gray hooded sweatshirt and dark pants.

| Eastwood, A., Economic Advisor, Chemical Industries Association (CIA), London, UK
[natural gas]
The United Kingdom (UK) is Europes fourth largest
chemical economy, after Germany, France and Italy. It accounts
for 8% of the European Unions (EUs) $900 billion
overall chemical production and 12% of extra-EU chemical export
sales.1 In world terms, the UK is ranked tenth (with
China, the US and Japan holding the top three places), and is
the source of about 2% of global chemical production.
Domestically, the chemical sector is one of the most
important segments of the UK manufacturing industry, accounting
in 2010 for 14% of the nations manufacturing gross value
added and 1.3% of the total UK gross domestic product
In 2010, the country had chemical sales of $73 billion
(excluding merchanted goods), with significant contributions
from practically all industry sectors. The recent global
recession has left its mark, however. Over the decade to 2010,
the only sector to have recorded a positive growth rate was
pharmaceuticals, and even this sector has seen a reversal in
the last two years (to the end of 2011) with sharp falls in
local production. Detergents and cosmetics have held their own,
and have bucked the general trend with strong growth in 2011.
Commodity chemicalspetrochemicals, plastics and basic
inorganicsdid well until 2008, and these chemical sectors
have severely suffered since then. Dyes and fibers have long
felt the contraction of European textiles markets, while
fertilizer output has also declined as domestic markets have
shrunk. Pharmaceuticals accounted for 45% of the UK
industrys gross value added in 2010.
The UKs primary chemical trading partners are in
Western Europe, with the rest of the EU-27 accounting for 55%
of exports in 2010. Total export sales in 2010 to the EU were
$43 billion, balanced almost exactly by imports from those
countries. By comparison, exports to North America were $13.5
billion, and imports from there were $7 billion. Overall, the
UK enjoys a healthy trade surplus from chemical activities,
with global exports of about $78 billion and imports of $66
billion generating a positive trade balance of $12 billion in
2010, as shown in Table 1.
Production volumes showed steady growth in the 1990s, rising
by an average 3.2%/yr from 1990 to 2000, but slowed to 2%/yr
from 2000 to 2008. Output has fallen sharply over the past
three years. Growth was entirely the result of surging exports,
which increased at over 6%/yr in real terms in the 1990s, and
averaged over 5%/yr from 2000 to 2010. Imports, however, grew
even faster during the 1990s, at around 7%/yr, and at a similar
rate to exports of just over 5% in the latter 10 years. It is
difficult to reconcile the strong export volumes with the weak
production volume statistics since 2008. Moreover, at a
detailed sector level, official data note that exports, in some
cases are exceeding the value of local production, even in
cases where it is improbable that it would make sense for
imports to be re-exported.
The UKs undoubted success in international markets is
due in part to the countrys ability to contain production
costs. Over 5, 10 or 15 years to 2007, UK chemical output
prices fell in real terms, as they also did in Continental Europe; whereas, in the US, this was
not the case. The sharp oil price increase saw a marked
increase in real prices in 2008, and depreciation of the
sterling caused further real-term increases in 2009, but normal
service was resumed in 2010. Expressing prices in current
dollars, fluctuating exchange rates saw the UK at its most
competitive within Europe in the mid-1990s, and at its least
competitive around 2000. Against the US, however, it enjoyed
its greatest advantage around 2000, and once again in 2010 as
depreciation played its part.
The successful containment of production costs can be
attributed to substantial and consistent improvements in
productivity. Over the 10 years to 2007, chemical industry
output grew by 28%, while output per employee grew by 71%, an
average improvement of 5.5%/yr. Production increases were
achieved with fewer employees, thus reflecting improvements in
technology and automation. Since the
output peak in 2007/2008, despite falling output, labor
productivity has still edged ahead. In 2010, the UK industry
employed approximately 150,000 workers at manufacturing
sitesa third fewer than a decade earlier.
Any current discussion of the present state of the industry
and its short-term outlook is inevitably clouded by major
uncertainties over the course of the global economy, not least
in the neighboring eurozone, as well as energy prices both in
the world as a whole (oil) and in the UK specifically (gas and
electricity, including the effect of various extra costs
imposed as a consequence of an aggressive unilateral
climate-change policy). The fall in North Sea
hydrocarbon output has tipped the UK from
a net gas exporter to a net gas importer. Both spot and forward
prices have, in recent years, regularly reflected nervousness
over security of supply, although recent expansion of LNG import capacity has
eased the position.
Output of chemicals, excluding pharmaceuticals, has had a
difficult time since 2007, with current UK output levels still
almost 20% below the peak levels achieved in early 2008. The
current year began with many clouds hanging over the European
continent, the UKs main market. Apart from problems of
sovereign debt, there are worries over consumer debt, high
unemployment and consequent weak final demand. Coupled with
banks inability or reluctance to lend, and stabilizing
commodity and oil prices (which removes any incentive to buy in
advance of immediate need) there has been pressure along supply
chains to free cash by reducing inventories. This, in turn, has
resulted in falling production across Europe at the end of 2011.
In 2012, very low year-on-year growth is the best that can
be expected, both in the UK and in the EU at large. As
mentioned earlier, UK pharmaceuticals production, for many
years a growth driver, has also wilted within the last two
years. Some major pharmaceutical companies are facing loss of
patent protection on major drugs and now are forced to look for
manufacturing economies and to possibly outsource part of their
production. New UK Patent Box legislation promises,
however, to give tax advantages to companies exploiting their
intellectual property within the UK, and it is hoped that this
will help to counteract the lure of both low Irish tax rates
and cheap Asian production locations.
The UK continues its quest to improve performance in
manufacturing efficiency and innovation for new products. Expansions in bulk and commodity
chemical production are mainly occurring in locations where feedstocks and energy are cheap,
such as in the Middle East, or close to centers of demand
growth, principally Asia. Major UK sites are seeing investment
such as waste-to-energy plants, like Ineos chlorvinyls
£400 million project at Runcorn. The £200
million world-scale low-density polyethylene unit at Wilton,
Teesside, begun by Huntsman and now owned by Sabic, is in full
operation. Wilton has seen closure of an ethylene oxide (EO)
unit and of nylon fiber production, but it will gain a new
200,000-tpy PET plantas well as more waste-to-energy
The UK government is actively assisting industry to develop
new technologies. The Chemistry Innovation Knowledge Transfer
Network, for which the government provided initial support, is
now well established.
In 2009, UK R&D investment for the chemicals industry
totaled over £5 billion, of which pharmaceuticals
accounted for over £4.4 billion. For chemicals excluding
pharmaceuticals, the figure was equivalent to around 1.8% of
saleswhich nevertheless compares well with the most
recent figures quoted by CEFIC (European Chemical Industry
Council), which puts the EU average at about 1.5% in
2008although the US ticked up to 2.1%, and Japan is at
1 EU-25 plus Switzerland and Norway, 2010.

Wow! I got one of these as a gift about three years ago and had no idea they cost so much... It's been sitting on top of a bookshelf in the basement with the parts of a disassembled ceiling fan in it for well over a year.
Maybe I'll dust it off and actually use it this year...
This is a beautiful piece, and if I didn't already have serving platters in my set that are this size, I'd buy this. Spode is always dependably elegant. This is the kind of thing that home dot woot should be selling, instead of the silly junk they've had so far.

The 6 Most Badass Families of All-Time
#3. The Curies
The Famous One:
Marie Curie was the first person to win two Nobel Prizes in two different disciplines, the first female professor at the University of Paris and the single most important figure in the study of radiation. She later died horribly of radiation poisoning.
Keeping radioactive isotopes in your desk drawer will do that.
The Family:
The Curies just kept winning freaking Nobel Prizes. Marie's daughter Irene Joilot-Curie bagged a Nobel for discovering that we can actually create elements in a lab instead of having to go out and mine them. You know how, back in the really olden days, alchemists used to think they could turn lead into gold? Yeah, Curie's daughter figured out how to do that.
Some people play God. Others outdo Him.
Meanwhile, her sister, Eve, the intellectual black sheep of the family, decided to become a reporter instead of a physicist. But not just any reporter -- she did it Curie style, visiting some of the most dangerous places in the world as a war correspondent before volunteering in the Medical Corps, because apparently being a war correspondent was too dull. Then she dedicated the rest of her life to working with her husband to help children through UNICEF -- a career that won him the Nobel Peace Prize.
"Hey, Roosevelt Jr.! Tell your dad the family has finished work on his chassis."
Meanwhile, Irene's children continue to make us all look like failures. Helene is a nuclear research scientist who advises France on how to handle anything radioactive, while Pierre, a biologist, is Director of Research for the French National Center of Scientific Research. By the way, the Curies hold the most Nobel Prizes out of any family. At this point they're just handing it out to them by default.
"Oh look, you're standing unaided -- have an Emmy."
#2. The Norgays
The Famous One:
As we've mentioned before, Tenzing Norgay is one of history's most underappreciated badasses. Despite an equal claim to fame, Norgay has been ignored in the West in favor of his more relatable (read: white) partner, Sir Edmund Hillary. So is it any shock that his offspring have been ignored as well?
"Hahaha! When the fog closes in you're going straight over that cliff!"
The Family:
With his three (simultaneous) wives, Norgay fathered a whole gaggle (troupe? squadron? murder?) of Sherpas, the most notable of whom is his son Jamling. Following, and eventually outdoing, his father's legacy, Jamling climbed Everest twice. To highlight the badassery of this, in 1996 during his first ascent, 12 climbers died. So he made the completely rational decision to go right back up there in 2002.
"Hey, Hilary Jr., wasn't it great when you almost slipped off that ridge but regained your balance?"
However, Tenzing's most successful relative was his nephew Nawang Gombu. At 16, Gombu accompanied his uncle on his famous expedition. At 16, we were accompanying our uncle to our grandparents' house. And bitching about it.
Oh, and remember how we said Jamling climbed Everest twice? Well, Gombu was the first person to accomplish this; a feat which would go unmatched for almost 20 years. He was also the youngest Sherpa to reach 26,000 feet, as well as only the third man to ever summit the incredibly difficult Nanda Devi. During his life, Gombu was awarded the Tenzing Norgay Lifetime Achievement Award, an Olympic gold medal and a Tiger's Medal (which itself earned the Coolest Named Medal Medal).
"Finally got rid of the bastards."
#1. The Roosevelts
The Famous One:
Former President Teddy Roosevelt. We think he's kind of manly.
The Family:
Let's start with the only son of a president to be the namesake of a Muppet: Kermit Roosevelt.
Kermit started his career in badassery by going on a lengthy journey up the Amazon with his dad, presumably to find something Teddy hadn't killed yet and then kill it. It went disastrously wrong, and it turned into a rescue mission to get Teddy out of the jungle before it killed him. Kermit's task: save his father from the terrifying wilderness, plus the rest of the party, and stop his dad from killing himself with a vial of morphine he had in his pocket. Oh, and he also had malaria and refused to take any medication, giving it all to his dad.
This is the man Teddy Roosevelt called when shit got too real.
They survived, and Kermit went on to fight in both world wars.
His brother Theodore Roosevelt II, meanwhile, also served in two world wars, racking up a distinguished Service Cross, a Silver Star and a freaking Medal of Honor, which he got by bugging his superiors into leading the first assault at Normandy. Once there, he pretty much strolled around like it was a rainy day despite being in his 50s and having lots of Germans trying desperately to kill him. He died during the war, but not because of the Germans: He had a heart attack, as there is only so much masculinity a human heart can endure.
That means his heart alone was deadlier than the entire Wehrmacht.
Let's not forget the youngest of the Roosevelt boys, Quentin. He died in World War I, but was such a masterful fighter pilot that the people he was fighting -- the Germans -- buried him with full military honors after he was shot down over their territory. In short, we're pretty sure that all three of them jumped out of the womb with a bayonet between their teeth and punched the doctor in the dick for daring to touch their mother.
We expect his whole family tree was bada -- awwwww.

I've read a bit on denotational semantics (DS) and I'm very intrigued about the process of designing computer programs where types and functions have strong and clear mappings to mathematics.
Are there any resources that discuss designing programs based on DS in detail? I've seen a few superficial treatments of the subject.
I'm conversant in Haskell, Scala, Common Lisp, and a bit of Scheme so any resources that use those languages would be greatly appreciated.

I love watching people show class, grace.
It is something we all need to do more in all situations.
Sometimes, we think this world is ours in a bubble and we are so wrong.
We make decisions every day and some of those are how we act and react to situations
I witnessed all class and all grace in two moments completely different from one another.
I watched the news conference in which Avery Johnson answered questions not long after being fired as head coach of the New Jersey Nets.
He didn't have to be there.
He chose to be there on Thursday morning.
He said yes to the question, "Will you talk to the press."
Among the things he said was:
"It's a really disappointing day for me and my family. It's my wife's birthday. It's not a great birthday gift. I didn't see this coming. But this is ownership's decision. It's part of the business. Fair or unfair, it's time for a new voice and hopefully they'll get back on track."
"You don't always get a fair shake as a coach. I'm not the owner. If I were the owner, I wouldn't have fired myself today. But life is not always necessarily fair. It's a business and in this business, the coach always gets blamed."
"You never think when you're a .500 team and then you're going into two more home games at home that something like this would happen. But this is ownership's decision, and this is what we sign up for. This is part of our business. Fair or unfair, it doesn't matter. But again, it's time for a new voice, and hopefully they'll get back on track."
Johnson was NBA Coach of the Month for November and fired in late December.
See any self-pity there?
See anyone blaming the situation on others?
See any selfishness there whatsoever?
The firing came not long after point guard Deron Williams openly questioned Johnson's offense to the media.
"From Day One, I always had a really good relationship with him. I don't think it's fair for anyone to hang this on Deron. We were just going through a bad streak, a bad spell. It's not time for me to be down on one player. That would be the easy way ... He's one player. We have 15 players, and it's up to the coach to really maximize the team. But at the end of the day, ownership, they're the ones that own the team. We just went through a bad stretch, a bad spell, we couldn't make a shot. But I always thought we were gonna get it turned around, knowing full well that we weren't necessarily finished with (assembling) this roster."
From Greg Popovich, coach of the San Antonio Spurs, thanks to Spurs Nation:
"Of course, many of us were surprised to see what happened in Brooklyn. From my perspective, Avery's not a good coach, he's a very good coach. He's a hell of a coach. He's proven that. There aren't too many of us out there who have ever won 67 games in a season. He's taken a team to the Finals. If my memory serves me correct, he was Coach of the Month. It sort of shows what a fickle, volatile business we're in. We all know that. Avery knows that, too.
"Often times, situations like that have nothing to do with the ability of the coach. It has more to do with circumstances. We've seen it before. I can't help but think sometimes a little patience could go a long way.
"You think about coaches I believe Dean Smith, they did a little effigy in his honor in the beginning when things weren't going well. Johnny Wooden had a rough patch in the beginning. Mike Krzyzewski, arguably our best coach we have in basketball today, things didn't go very well in the beginning. He had an AD who was smart enough to know what he had. He exhibited a lot of patience, so now you see where Coach K is. I think we all understand that. But circumstances, especially in the NBA, have a whole lot more to do with firings than how well or how poorly a coach did. It's unfortunate. But we all move on, including Avery."
Johnson was in the last year of a three year, $12 million contract.
He was 60-116 since the start of the 2010 season. He was 194-70 before walking into the Nets' clubhouse.
The Nets focused the first two years under Johnson rebuilding a team and preparing for its move to Brooklyn.
"I thought especially under the circumstances that I took this job - knowing that the first two years we were gonna get beat up pretty bad - then I thought the third year I'll have the whole third year and the fourth year to maybe really try to put together a championship team, but that didn't happen," Johnson said.
"I think any coach, and I got a lot of guys that have called today, you gotta have in this business, you gotta have the power in terms of the ability to coach and the respect. It would help if you do have a contract that the players respect. That's the nature of our business. And when you don't have that, then, sometimes when things tend to go sideways, you just don't have the full support. And if you don't have the full support of ownership in a lot of different areas, then for the most part it's just not gonna work."
Johnson sat there and answered questions not long after being fired.
It was not his decision to get fired, but it was his decision to show class and grace after being fired.
Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson finished nine yards short of surpassing the NFL record of most rushing yards in a season of 2,105 by Eric Dickerson.
When he was told that just after the game in an on-field interview, he didn't whimper, whine or complain that he finished nine yards short.
He said the team goal of getting a win and making it to the playoffs was the No. 1 goal and if the record came, the record came.
He later went on Twitter and said, "It's bittersweet coming up 9 yds short of the record but I came into this game w my main focus being getting a "W". Mission accomplished!"
All class by All Day.
He didn't bemoan the fact his individual goal came up just short and the fact it happened about 370 days after tearing his ACL and MCL on a 2011 Christmas Eve game.
He was thankful for the team goal.
He showed class and grace.

I understand that we can say "walk on a hurt foot", but can we simply say "walk on foot" to mean go somewhere on foot?
For example, is this sentence correct: "I walked on foot for a long time"?
I understand that we can say "walk on a hurt foot", but can we simply say "walk on foot" to mean go somewhere on foot?
For example, is this sentence correct: "I walked on foot for a long time"?
On foot is an idiom for walking/running, so walk on foot is redundant, meaning walking by walking. These are some options you have:
Walked on foot is not a good option.
On the other hand, redundancy can be used legitimately for emphasis. The specific case of walking for a long time appears to be one of the more typical uses of the phrase "to walk on foot." It's an admittedly informal corpus search, but in first 40 google hits (some overlapping) that I pulled up using the phrase "walked on foot," there were 12 separate usages where the phrase appeared to emphasize distance walked, and another six clearly contrasted walking with another form of transportation. There also seemed to be a group involving religious contexts.
Uses involving distance emphasis included:
Uses involving mode of transport contrast included:
Uses involving religious context included:
I think there are parallel cases with other redundant verb phrases that are in common use. The one I can think of offhand is "to call on the phone," but I'm sure there are others. Intuitively, I think our feelings about redundant phrases are on a continuum, with some phrases (e.g. "he ate with his mouth") seeming to require more impetus for the redundancy than others (e.g. "he walked on foot"). Given sufficient justification, such as if a person had previously been tube fed, there could be a reason to use the eating example, but it seems like the explicit contrast is more strongly required in that case.
I walked on foot for a long time is grammatically well-formed, but it's unlikely to occur for the reason Daniel δ has given.
"I walked on foot ..." is verbose; walked is superfluous in the presence of on/by foot.
However, the author may have used this for some reason in the context.
"Walk" implies "on foot." A more accepted usage is "go on foot." As opposed to "go by car."
On the contrary:

As they say, the 'devil is in the details.' The question will be who owns the land is key: I find it odd that the Port Authority would spend $25 million on land it does not own, which seems to indicate that the chapel will be built on Port Authority property, therefore the chapel's land will not belong to the Church. If the GOA agrees to be a tenant, there will be problems in the future just as much as they have had ten years of conflict already.I certainly hope I am wrong and that the GOA will have full ownership of its new location just as it had before.
I...want... to be wrong.
You sound like a professional who knows what he's talking about. That's because you are.

mmmmm...quesadillas! i have to say, you have some very unique recipes on your page. the naan looks lovely. i make a lot of naan, but i've never tried grilling it (perhaps because i don't have a grill, but i think a cast iron grill pan may work too!).

I use the tofutti mozarella slices. In Canada they are trans fat free, and the are the only thing I can get in this town. I know mozarella is not Mexican, but they don't really taste like mozarella anyway. But, they do add a bit of salt, fat, and "gooey-ness" to the quesadilla If you have Vegam Gourmet monterey jack, finely grate it and use that instead.

5 Insanely Frivolous Uses of DNA Technology
Sure, science fiction is full of horrifying genetic experiments gone wrong, but in the real world, manipulating DNA can result in some amazing things. Hell, the cost of testing DNA has come down so much that you can now buy a kit at Walmart for $27. Really.
So now that this technology is in the hands of the masses, we can dismiss the ridiculous fears of a Gattaca-type dystopia where our own genes can be used against us in horrifying ways. Because really, what's so horrifying about using DNA technology for ...
#5. Testing Your Cheating Partner's Underwear
Finding out if your significant other is being faithful is a rough task in this day and age. Sure, you've stalked them on Facebook and secretly monitored their text messages. You've followed them around all day wearing a hat and sunglasses in a rented car, waiting to see if they smiled too much at anyone who isn't you. But if only there was some way to know for sure. Of course, the trust is already gone from the relationship and has been replaced only with bitter paranoia, and sure, you'd both be happier just parting ways. But without the help of science, how can you win that final argument?
That's why you need to head on over to Infidelity DNA Testing and hire them to carefully examine your soul mate's dirty underwear for incriminating DNA.
"We're not exploiting misery, we're just taxing paranoia!"
Infidelity DNA Testing is an easy three-step process. First, you simply steal some of your partner's unwashed underwear and send it in for a test. While you are sitting on a park bench somewhere, staring off into nothing and wondering how your life got to this point, they will check the underwear for foreign DNA and offer you the final step: comparison. If there is a third set of DNA in those Underoos, you've got yourself a cheating spouse! Then you can talk it out like rational adults. Really, they'll have no choice but to be rational after you begin the conversation with "Speaking of taking out the garbage, guess whose DNA the lab found on your panties?"
"Oh I dunno, Karen, maybe it was your mother's -- wait, what?"
Oh, we should probably mention that all three steps together costs over $600. But don't worry, Infidelity DNA Testing assures you that this is way less than the cost of a private investigator. Though they conveniently fail to mention that it costs about $600 more than a simple sit-down chat with your significant other, who is undoubtedly a terrible liar.
Unless your significant other is kind of pricey, in which case you have bigger things to worry about.
It should also be mentioned that this radical "talking" method will save you from having to say the words "You think I'm crazy? Well, just to be sure, I mailed a pair of your panties to be tested for Travis' semen!" or, if they come back clean, answering the question of "What's this credit card charge for 'cheating spouse DNA panty test'?"
#4. Busting People Who Don't Pick Up After Their Dog
You wake up, head downstairs and run out the door to grab the morning paper. You feel a squish under your loafer and realize that once again, some inconsiderate douchebag allowed their filthy mutt to defecate on your lawn. You might be thinking, "If only I could get my hands on that person. Like if I could, I don't know, do a CSI-style exam on the dogshit to prove it was them. Then I'd know who to confront, and that my life had lost all meaning."
"Poop, ENHANCE!"
Well, hypothetical person who almost certainly doesn't have a job or hobbies or anyone who loves you, we have good news: The future has arrived, and we are finally using DNA to fight poop-related crime. That's thanks to a company named PooPrints that calls itself "the only DNA dog waste management & control program." We are willing to take their word on that.
Essentially, you're paying $90 for a cotton swab so your dog's DNA can be entered into a worldwide database. If your dog shits anywhere in the world, you can bet PooPrints will know about it.
"I've been on the run since '07, but I got a good thing going here. Please don't ruin it."
Wait a second. Why in the world would you voluntarily enter your own dog into such a database? Isn't this service to track down the neglectful free-shitters?
Well, ask Deborah Violette. She owns an apartment complex in New Hampshire and was apparently really tired of putting up with everyone's shit. Or ... everyone's dog's shit, to be more specific. She now requires everyone who owns a dog in the Timberwood Commons apartment complex to submit to a doggie DNA test so that if she finds crap on the lawn, she can gather it up and send it off to be examined by a room full of lab technicians who almost surely drink themselves to sleep every night.
"The emails they send me are always stained with tears. How is that even possible?"
Of course, as with all new scientific advances, Violette was met with some resistance. Mostly by people who think this is "completely over the top." But other apartment complexes are following suit, because these are the final days of a once-great civilization.
#3. DNA Match Dating
In an era when websites can match you to a partner based on complex algorithms, we're slowly leaving behind the savage days when you might have to go outside and actually interact with someone to find out if you're romantically compatible. But that still doesn't really feel like we've gotten all the way to a dystopian future where humans are paired and bred like cattle.
"With a one in three chance of being processed into meat, who doesn't like those odds?"
Well, they're working on it. Finally, there are services that can take your genetic profile and match you with someone who has a similar genetic profile, so that you can finally mate the way the Vulcans probably do it.
Thanks to a site called GenePartner, you can simply order their $249 GenePartner test, swab your mouth and mail the swab out to them. In two shorts weeks, they'll give you what you've always been looking for: a lab-grown clone of yourself.
"... we expect the vast majority of our sales to come from narcissistic polyamorists and gun ranges."
Oh, wait, no. They'll just match you to a genetically compatible partner. More than five sites use the GenePartner genetic matchmaking to find you true love. You can even use your genetic results to find compatible matches on Facebook. Not that they need to compare the DNA -- if you're both the type of people who think a cold calculation based on genetic makeup is the best way to find true love (to the point where you're both willing to shell out 250 bucks), you're probably already perfect for each other.
"I also disinfect my hands every time I touch another human! Do you keep your fingernail clippings in a jar?"
Of course, for scientists, it's less about love and more about preserving our species with disease-resistant children. But you shouldn't think of it that way, it kills the romance.

Will you be sticking with your credit card longer than your spouse? For some Americans, the answer will be "yes." Overall, we are are pretty faithful to our plastic. According to Experian, the average time a credit card account remains open is approximately 129 months -- or 10.75 years.
Contrast that with the fact that the U.S. Census Bureau reports that in 2009, first marriages that ended in divorce lasted a median of 8 years for men and women overall. The median time from marriage to separation was shorter -- about 7 years.
It appears that Americans are also more loyal to their cards than their counterparts across the pond. Research by MoneySupermarket found that credit card users in the U.K. have remained loyal to their card provider for six years on average.
Is loyalty to a card issuer good or bad? On the plus side, holding on to your cards for a long time may help your credit rating. FICO High Achievers -- those with FICO scores of 785 or above -- opened their oldest credit card account 25 years ago on average; and the average credit account is 11 years old. Plus, if you've been a good customer for many years you may be able to negotiate a lower interest rate or get a fee waived more easily than a new customer.
On the other hand, issuers are trying to woo new new customers with flashy promotions, such as the Starwood Preferred Guest Card from American Express that currently allows new cardholders to earn 10,000 points after their first purchase, and 15,000 points after spending $10,000 within six months. Just try matching the British Airways credit card 100,000 miles sign-up bonus with your current card. Fat chance it even comes close.
But that doesn't mean you should be fickle.
Perhaps the best strategy is to plan on a long-term relationship with your cards, and choose accordingly. But check in periodically to make sure they still offer you the best deal. If not, let them know you think you can do better -- and why. They may be able to able to come up with a reason for you to stay.
If not, and you do break up with your credit card company, you don't have to end the relationship completely. You can still keep the account open in case you decide you want to come back later. Just think of it as keeping your options open.

Let $$f(x)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\sin\left(\frac{x}{n^2}\right)}.$$
a) Show that the series converges for $x\in [0,\pi/2]$.
b) Show that $f$ is monotone and continuous on this interval.
This is what I have for (a). Is it right? I am stuck on continuity for part (b).
For (a), I showed that since $$\frac{x^n}{n!}>\frac{x^{n+2}}{(n+2)!},$$ we get that for $x\in[0,\pi/2]$, $$0\leq \sin x = x-\sum_{n\in I}{\frac{x^n}{n!} - \frac{x^{n+2}}{(n+2)!}}$$ where $I=\{3,7,11,\ldots\}$. Since the last term is negative or zero, $\sin x\leq x$ for $x\in [0,\pi/2]$.
Thus, $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\left|\sin\left(\frac{x}{n^2}\right)\right|} \leq \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{\frac{x}{n^2}}$$ which converges. So the series converges.
b) I was able to show $f$ is monotone. Is there a nice way to show $f$ is continuous?

What should I look for when buying rollers?
What sets more expensive models apart from their cheaper alternatives?
What should you look for in a set of rollers?
Also make sure to read these two questions:
What sets the more expensive models apart?
Kreitler rollers are well known as the gold standard in rollers, and they cost two to three times as much as the more economical brands. Are they worth the investment? If you have the money, yes. Not only are they nicer, but they will last longer than other rollers. There are a few small shops that make rollers of similar quality at a similar or higher price. Kreitler makes a wide range of roller styles, and they are all of similar high quality.
Most of my roller time has been on a set of Cycle-Ops that I bought second hand for $50, and they were worth more than that. These are a great product, and I have logged about 90% of my hundreds of roller-hours on this set of rollers. They certainly can do the trick, but riding on Kreitler rollers is always a distinct pleasure. Kreitler rollers are luxurious to ride on and are definitely worth their cost.

The beginning of each November brings pheasant hunters from all over the country to Kansas. Although our state is popular for many types of game, our upland bird hunting holds a special place and is a long-held tradition for many hunters. Scott Linden, host of Wingshooting USA, and frequent Kansas hunter, shares with us his thoughts about hunting pheasant in Kansas. 1. What do you enjoy most about hunting in Kansas? The people, the weather, the variety of habitats. I feel "at home" when I visit Kansas, welcomed by almost everyone I meet. Kansas is far enough south that the weather during bird season is usually quite pleasant … not cold, not too hot for the dogs. And despite the cliché, Kansas is not flat as a pancake – I love the rolling hills, river bottoms and woods that make for a unique hunting experience.

Sandy, which made landfall in New Jersey Monday, caused refineries with a total of 1 million bpd in capacity to shut down or cut operating rates. Most refineries are back to normal, although power outages have made getting supply to gas stations difficult and forced drivers to wait in long lines to refuel.
By BEN LEFEBVRE
Most refineries in the Northeast are back to operating at
planned rates after Hurricane Sandy, but fuel deliveries remain
a problem.
Sandy, which made landfall in southern New Jersey Monday,
caused refineries with a combination of 1 million bpd in
capacity to shut down or cut operating rates. Most refineries
are back to normal, although power outages have made getting
supply to gas stations difficult and forced drivers to wait in
long lines to refuel.
The fuel shortages currently plaguing drivers in the
Northeast should be alleviated within days, much sooner than
those caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, said Neal Walters,
partner at the energy practice of law firm A.T. Kearney.
Katrina destroyed refinery infrastructure, while Sandy merely
jumbled the supply chain, Mr. Walters said.
"The refining capacity that did shut down
and terminals that did shut down were more due to flooding and
power issues," Mr. Walters added. "There's no indication that
any of this should be long term."
Phillips 66's 238,000 bpd Bayway refinery in Linden, N.J., was the
only major refinery in the region still idled. Power had been
restored to the refinery but production hadn't yet
restarted, a company spokesman said Thursday.
Philadelphia Energy Solutions' 335,000 bpd refinery in
Philadelphia and Delta Airlines' 185,000 bpd refinery Trainer,
Penn., were near or at planned rates, sources with the
refineries said.
PBF Energy said Thursday that its 180,000 bpd refinery in
Paulsboro, N.J., and 190,000 bpd refinery in Delaware City,
Del., were restored to planned rates after having production
scaled back during the storm.
Customers unable to receive PBF fuel because of power outages
affecting pipelines and terminals were bringing trucks to the
company's rack in Delaware City to take delivery, PBF spokesman
Michael Karlovich said.
Hess Corp. said late Wednesday power remained out at its
70,000 bpd refinery in Port Reading, N.J. A
Hess spokesperson wasn't available Thursday.
The Colonial Pipeline Co. said Thursday it planned to have
its pipeline restart fuel deliveries to the New York Harbor
area from the Gulf Coast on Friday. Portable generators would
allow limited deliveries to be made from its Linden, N.J., facilities by the end of Thursday,
the company said.
The Colonial pipeline delivers up to 800,000 bpd of fuel to
the New York area.

During the Researchers' Night, I gave a slideshow about personalized medicine which I'll publish here soon. I try to use more and more tools to be able to screen the whole web for personalized medicine-related articles. So here are the most important news and announcements.
Personalized medicine based on genomics is a good thing when the patient/consumer is fully informed in advance of the implications for their own lives. Safeguards must be in place to prevent discrimination by any party based on this information.
- An other conference I have no chance to attend: Genetics and Personalized Medicine: The Future is Now on the 6th of October at the University of Kansas Edwards Campus. I at least someone will blog about it!
- Big Pharma's personalized-medicine consortium: Is it for real? (Venture Beat):
Whatever your feelings about the drug industry, anything that might spare patients from severe drug side effects represents a step forward — not just for those who can avoid dangerous health complications, but also for the people who might be put at risk when a drug that could help them is withdrawn for safety problems that are unlikely to affect them.
- Human Genomics in the US Government (Eye on DNA):
It's extremely encouraging to see that the government is aware of the needs and demands of the genome revolution. But, I wonder how much communication there is between the various government organizations and the degree of overlap between goals. Then there is the question of collaboration between the private sector and the government.
- Consortium to Identify Genetic Markers that Predict Drug-related Serious Adverse Events (Highlight Health):
The International Serious Adverse Events Consortium (SAEC) officially announced its formation this morning.

Alan Ball, creator of Six Feet Under, returns to HBO with a new series based on the novel series Southern Vampire by Charlaine Harris. The series follows Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic barmaid who finds comfort in the company of vampires since they have no brainwave activity for her to read. She and her brother Jason were raised by her grandmother after losing their parents in a flood and she tries to keep her telepathic ability a secret. Thanks largely in part to the creation of a Japanese-made synthetic blood called Tru Blood (where the series takes it name) vampires have made their existence known to the world. Sookie works at the bar 'Merlotte's' which is owned and operated by her boss Sam Merlotte who has a secret of his own.

When a user does an operation on a publishing page that would take them away from the current page, we get the warning dialog about moving away. The thing is that it takes for ever to show up, 20-30 seconds.
Using fiddler I found out that the page is making several hundred requests against the PublishingService.asmx. Each time calling the Wait method with a value of 100 milliseconds.
Is this normal ?

I am hoping I can benefit from those who have more knowledge of these matters than I have.
I have recently upgraded to a 64bit machine, which came with 3Gb RAM, but it appears that VR processing software, such as PTGui, benefits from lots of RAM so I am contemplating adding another 8Gb and was wondering if this is a wise investment, or a waste of cash.
I usually create Equirectangulars around the 10000 x 5000 size, or slightly larger, and wonder how much RAM I really should have as I am getting messages that I am pushing the limits with 3Gb.
Any advice will be gratefully received.
Best regards, Hugh.

Modex 2012: topVOX takes voice technology one step further
Stefan Saettele, international sales manager for topVOX (left) and Marceline Absil, VP of marketing and sales, put their heads together with Lydia, the company's voice technology solution.
In a press conference, topVOX (Booth 2115) gave voice to the new features and benefits of Lydia, the speech engine that drives the company's customized voice system.
Voice technology is not new to the market, admitted Marceline Absil, VP of marketing and sales, but what is new is the is the system's ability to keep the worker situated and in direct contact with supervisor in the event of an unexpected occurrence like a spill or a shortage.
In addition, the system has a translation function that allows a person to speak into it in one language and have the message automatically translated and received in another language—another feature that overcomes the barriers of effective communication and keeps people connected.
Modex 2012 is scheduled to be held February 6-9, 2012 in Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry. Modern's complete Modex 2012 coverage.

6 Inspiring Tales of Friendship in the Middle of Brutal Wars
As awful as war is, it's still being fought by human beings, and they don't just check their humanity at the door. Sometimes, right in the heat of battle, sympathy and simple human kindness breaks through. Spontaneous truces occur when groups of soldiers decide they just can't take it anymore.
The result is a series of stories that you should bookmark for the next time you're in a bad mood.
#6. Americans and Nazis Share a Christmas Meal
The below story is so cheesily heart-warming that we would call bullshit if multiple people involved hadn't come forward to verify it. It sounds like one of those corny email forwards.
In the last days of the Second World War, just before Hitler realized that picking a fight with the entire world wasn't going to end well for him, the Nazis launched one final offensive against the Allies. The Battle of the Bulge was not, as we thought in elementary school, the story of one man's battle to hide an unfortunate erection, but a very last ditch effort of a cornered and angry German war machine. Occurring over Christmas 1944, yuletide cheer was running in understandably short supply.
The 32nd division's "Nutcracker Suite (With Occasional Flesh Wounds)" didn't go down well.
In the meantime, in a small cottage nearby on the German-Belgian border, a 12-year-old boy and his mother were busy minding their own damn business. Their dreams of blissful ignorance were shattered when three American soldiers arrived at their front door, one with serious wounds. These Americans were armed, desperate and, with it being Christmas Eve, freezing to death. For Germans under the Nazi regime, sheltering enemy troops was high treason. Fortunately, this German woman didn't give even a single shit about politics on Christmas.
It's not Christmas without some kind of fight over who invaded whom.
So she invited them in and began to tend to their wounds. Then there was another knock at their door.
Four Nazi soldiers had arrived.
"History tends to forget that a good 30 percent of us weren't murderous douchebags."
Though the mother knew they could be shot for violating the rules of war, she took a gamble and sternly told the lost and hungry Germans that there would be no killing that night. The boy and his mother had a Christmas chicken all fattened up and ready to be butchered, so they went ahead and prepared the feast with their unexpected guests. Proving that Hollywood has no monopoly on Christmas magic, the American soldiers and the German soldiers all turned their weapons over to the woman and feasted together, without so much as exchanging passive-aggressive insults.
"What are your plans for the weekend?" "Well, we're -- awwwww, you almost got me. You bastard."
Then, in the morning, when the wounded American had semi-recovered, the German soldiers directed the American soldiers back to their lines, telling them how to avoid all the areas that the Nazis had recaptured.
The story spread after the boy, Fritz Vincken, grew up and told the story to Reader's Digest (it became so famous that even President Ronald Reagan mentioned it in a speech when he visited Germany). You could write it off as something he pulled out of his imagination when up against a magazine deadline, but then in 1995 Fritz found one of the soldiers, who had separately been telling the story to everyone he met for years. On that night, American and Nazi soldiers really did just sit down in the middle of the war and have a quiet Christmas dinner.
That little boy grew up and got to meet the American soldier who gave him the coolest Christmas ever.
#5. The Australians Make Friends With the Turks in Gallipoli
In the heat of World War I, the British decided that they needed to invade Turkey. It was a ballsy decision, considering that doing so would result in a bloodbath the likes of which the world had rarely seen. So, rather than suffer the senseless death of tens of thousands of British soldiers, they decided on a different tactic: Send in Australians.
There is so much weird going on in this picture.
The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACs) were shipped out to Turkey to seize the Gallipoli peninsula, a task which basically relied on their ability to sprint across the beach and absorb two dozen bullets each before falling over. But the Australians -- who were more than used to living in hellish conditions -- held their own. Although they were unable to drive back the far superior numbers of the enemy, they killed or wounded up to 10,000 Turks while losing only a few hundred of their own.
But then a remarkable thing happened. With the blazing heat of the Turkish beach working on the corpses of thousands of fallen soldiers, both sides simultaneously came to the conclusion that this was a bunch of bullshit. At the very least, someone should give all these dead people a respectful burial.
"If we're going to treat the living terribly, we might as well take care of the dead."
On May 24, 1915, a daylong ceasefire was arranged between the troops. The Allied troops and Turkish troops came out of their trenches together to bury the dead. It was hard, sweaty work, but in between, the soldiers struck up quite a remarkable friendship. They started by exchanging greetings and cigarettes before they began to swap badges like players at the end of a soccer game. Thousands of Turkish civilians came out to watch the spectacle from the surrounding hills. For the first time in recent memory, it was kind of like, you know, there wasn't a World War going on.
"I like to pretend my lice are actually itchy tingles of happiness."
When it came to 4 o'clock, the Turks approached one of the Australian commanders, Captain Audrey Herbert, asking him for orders. He then retired both the troops and walked down the lines and made the two sides shake hands. When a dozen Turks popped out of their trench, Audrey taunted them, saying they would shoot him the next day, to which they replied, "God forbid! We would never shoot you."
Especially as the Australians had secretly deactivated the Turks' rifles.
Twenty minutes later, all jokes aside, the indiscriminate killing began again, as though this eerie interlude had never happened.
#4. The Confederates Show Mercy at the Battle of Fredericksburg
The Battle of Fredericksburg was one of the most one-sided battles of the American Civil War. The South was defending a stone wall at the base of Marye's Heights, and it must have been a pretty damn important stone wall, because they shot 8,000 Union soldiers in just one morning to stop them from getting to it.
It's OK as walls go, we guess.
Sergeant Richard Kirkland decided enough was enough. So Kirkland walked up to his general and calmly stated that he couldn't bear to hear the cries of the wounded soldiers.
He pleaded with the general to let him go out and give the wounded enemy soldiers some water. The general, who knew it probably wasn't a brilliant idea to go running headlong into the line of fire, tried to talk him out of it. But Kirkland was so insistent that the general offered a compromise: He could go, but he couldn't take a white flag, the general opting instead to see whether God would protect him. It's fortunate for the Confederates that he didn't extend this logic to taking the soldiers' weapons away to see if God would shoot the Yankees dead.
God has an amazing kill ratio, but really lets himself down when he teabags whole countries.
Kirkland left the trenches and started pouring water into the mouths of wounded Union soldiers. When the enemy saw what was happening, they stopped trying to annihilate him as he moved from body to body. When he was done, he returned to safety behind the lines.
Richard Kirkland died a year later at the Battle of Chickamauga because the universe hates good people. But at least he got a statue.
Here he is, apparently shoving a whole canteen down a guy's throat.

A popular item at holiday time is the propane turkey fryer. They are readily available and inexpensive but can be unsafe, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL). The NFPA discourages the use of turkey fryers except by properly trained professionals using professional-grade equipment. UL does not certify any of these appliances with their UL mark. A similar outdoor unit is now available that does not use oil and should be considered as an alternative to the oil-containing fryers.
Since deep-fried turkey is a longtime favorite food, especially in the southern United States, people will continue to use the deep fryers. Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue, in conjunction with the State Fire Marshal's Office, will demonstrate proper safety measures for those who choose this method. Wearing full protective gear, firefighters will also demonstrate the consequences of improper use, resulting in a spillover of hot oil and potential fire. Consumer-grade turkey fryers use a substantial quantity of cooking oil at high temperatures and pose a significant danger. Additionally, the oil remains hot for hours after the unit is turned off. The use of turkey fryers by consumers can lead to devastating burns, other injuries and the destruction of property. The Broward Sheriff's Office Fire Marshal's Bureau echoes the NFPA suggestion that those who prefer deep-fried turkey simply purchase one prepared from a grocer, food retailer or restaurant that prepares them using professional equipment.
"Thanksgiving is the top day for cooking fires to happen, so it is important to keep safety in mind," Broward Sheriff Fire Marshal Robert Arrighetti said. According to a recent report published by the U. S. Fire Administration, an estimated 2,000 Thanksgiving Day fires in residential buildings occur annually in the U. S., resulting in an estimated average of five deaths, 25 injuries and $21 million in property losses. By far, the leading cause of Thanksgiving Day fires in residential buildings is cooking. These fires occur most frequently between noon and 4 p.m. The NFPA reports that cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires and home fire injuries. Hundreds of Americans are killed each year due to home cooking fires and thousands more are injured. Cooking fires also cause roughly half a billion dollars in direct property damage to the homes and their contents.

Police departments across the state send their officers to hours of in-service training every year, but most of that training is out of town. This week, things are different for the Bowling Green Police, the Warren County Sheriff's Office and WKU's Police Department as they send their officers for advanced pistol training right here in Bowling Green.
Only the most skilled shooters are put through an intense course like this. Officers say it's a survival type course with a fast pace and quick shooting with emphasis on accuracy, distance and unusual shooting positions.
Officers and deputies are put through just about every imaginable test during this week of training. The moves aren't easy, but they say the situations they're faced with every day aren't easy either.
After a week of training, officers put their skills to the test on Thursday afternoon. To pass the advanced pistol course, they were required to have 80 percent proficiency in their final round.
Officers say they owe a big thank you to the Louisville Police Department for sending a certified trainer to teach the course for the week. They also say it was because of cooperation on the part Louisville Police, Bowling Green Police and the Sheriff's Office that this training was made possible.

Unanswered: My own style does not appear
Hello guys. Really glad to be here
I'm new to the Sehcha Touch.
I'm following this guide: Theming Sencha Touch to start in theming.
For now I have installed Ruby, Compass and can compile my own CSS-files from SCSS-file.
I can see the changes in my compiled CSS-file doing them in SCSS-file. Everything works fine.
But application is still taking the original CSS-file instead of my.
I think I need to specify an application to get my CSS-file.
Tell my please where I can do it?
UPD: I wonder... maybe this guide is out of date?
I found a folder named SCSS in RESOURCES-folder.
It contains everything I need: config.rb and app.scss.
I can overwrite original app.css by compiling SCSS-file in this folder.
Is this correct way of theming?

You should go in the folder with the config.rb file and compass compile it. You should make your CSS changes in the app.scss or add additional scss file and include them in app.scss.
Say you have _ui.scss (notice the prefixed underscore) then in your app.scss you can include it:
@import 'ui';
@import 'custom/ui';Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch
