The process used to determine the concentration of a solution with very high accuracy is called standardizing a solution. To standardize an unknown solution, you react that solution with another solution whose concentration is already known very accurately.
For example, to standardize the hydrochloric acid solution we made up in a preceding lab, we might very carefully measure a known quantity of that solution (called an aliquot) and neutralize that aliquot with a solution of sodium carbonate whose concentration is already known very accurately. Adding a few drops of an indicator, such as phenolphthalein or methyl orange, to the solution provides a visual indication (a color change) when an equivalence point is reached, when just enough of the standard solution has been added to the unknown solution to neutralize it exactly. By determining how much of the sodium carbonate solution is required to neutralize the hydrochloric acid, we can calculate a very accurate value for the concentration of the hydrochloric acid. This procedure is called titration.
Titration uses an apparatus called a burette (or buret), which is a very accurately graduated glass cylinder with a stopcock or pinchcock that allows the solution it contains to be delivered in anything from a rapid stream to drop-by-drop. Because titration is a volumetric procedure, the accuracy of the results depends on the concentration of the reagent used to do the titration. For example, if 5.00 mL of 1.0000 M sodium carbonate is required to neutralize a specific amount of the unknown acid, that same amount of acid would be neutralized by 50.00 mL of 0.10000 M sodium carbonate. If our titration apparatus is accurate to 0.1 mL, using the more dilute sodium carbonate reduces our level of error by a factor of 10, because 0.1 mL of 0.10000 M sodium carbonate contains only one tenth as much sodium carbonate as 0.1 mL of 1.0000 M sodium carbonate. For that reason, the most accurate titrations are those performed with a relatively large amount of a relatively dilute standard solution.
The obvious question is how to obtain an accurate reference solution. For work that requires extreme accuracy, the best answer is often to buy pre-made standard solutions, which are made to extremely high accuracy (and the more accurate, the more expensive). None of the work done in a home lab requires that level of accuracy, so the easiest and least expensive method is to make up your own standard solutions. (In fact, to illustrate the principles of standardization and titration, you don't even need a truly accurate reference solution; you can simply pretend that a 1 M solution is actually 1.0000 M and proceed on that basis. Your results won't be accurate, but the principles and calculations are the same.)
When you make up a standard solution, take advantage of the difference between absolute errors and relative errors. For example, if your balance is accurate to 0.01 g, that means any sample you weigh may have an absolute error of as much as 0.01 g. But that absolute error remains the same regardless of the mass of the sample. If you weigh a 1.00 g sample, the absolute error is 1% (0.01g/1.00g·100). If you weigh a 100.00 g sample, the absolute error is 0.01% (0.01g/100.00g·100). Similarly, volumetric errors are absolute regardless of the volume you measure. For example, a 10.00 mL pipette may have an absolute error of 0.05 mL. If you use that pipette to measure 10.00 mL, the relative error is (0.05 mL/10.00 mL·100) or 0.5%. If you measure only 1.00 mL, the relative error is ten times as large, (0.05 mL/1.00 mL·100) or 5.0%.
One way to minimize the scale of errors is to use a relatively large amount of solute to make a starting solution and then use serial dilution to make a dilute standard solution to use as the titrant. Serial dilution simply means repeatedly diluting small aliquots of known volume. For example, we might start with a 1.5 M solution of a chemical. We use a pipette to take a 10.00 mL aliquot of that solution and dilute it to 100.0 mL in a volumetric flask to make a 0.15 M solution. We then take a 10.00 mL aliquot of the 0.15 M solution and dilute it again to 100.0 mL, yielding a 0.015 M solution.
For example, a reference book tells us that the formula weight of anhydrous sodium carbonate is 105.99 g/mol and its solubility at 20 °C is about 200 g/L. A saturated solution of sodium carbonate is therefore about 1.9 M, because (200 g/L)/(105.99 g/mol) = 1.88+ M. In this lab, we'll make up a 1.5 M solution of sodium carbonate and then use serial dilution to produce a 0.15 M solution to use as our titrant. We'll titrate our unknown HCl solution once using phenolphthalein as the indicator, and a second time using methyl orange as the indicator. Why two passes with two separate indicators?
As it happens, the neutralization of sodium carbonate by hydrochloric acid is a two-step process. In the first step, one mole of sodium carbonate reacts with one mole of hydrochloric acid to produce one mole of sodium hydrogen carbonate (sodium bicarbonate) and one mole of sodium chloride:
Na2CO3(aq) + HCI(aq) → NaHCO3(aq) + NaCl(aq)
In the second step, a second mole of hydrochloric acid reacts with the sodium hydrogen carbonate formed in the first step:
NaHCO3(aq) + HCI(aq) → NaCl(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(I)
Each of these reactions has an equivalence point. The first occurs when the first mole of HCl has reacted with the sodium carbonate to form one mole each of sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride. The pH at the equivalence point of this reaction happens to correspond very closely to the pH range where phenolphthalein changes color, but is well above the pH range of methyl orange. The second equivalence point occurs when the second mole of HCl has reacted with the sodium bicarbonate to form one mole each of sodium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water. The pH at the equivalence point of this reaction happens to correspond very closely to the pH range where methyl orange changes color, but is well below the pH range of phenolphthalein.
Figure 11-2. Methyl orange (left) and phenolphthalein at their equivalence points
Since these reactions occur with exactly a 2:1 proportion of hydrochloric acid, the amount of titrant needed to reach the indicated equivalence point with methyl orange is exactly twice as much as the amount of titrant needed to reach the indicated equivalence point with phenolphthalein. In other words, if you use methyl orange, you miss the first equivalence point completely. If you use phenolphthalein, you are misled into believing that the first equivalence point is the final equivalence point. For this reason, the neutralization of sodium carbonate with hydrochloric acid is often used as a (literal) textbook example of the importance of choosing the proper indicator.
Note that for titrations with multiple equivalence points, it makes a difference which solution is used for the titrant. For example, if we titrate a solution of sodium carbonate by adding hydrochloric acid, we could observe the first (higher pH) equivalence point by using phenolphthalein as an indicator. When sufficient HCl has been added to convert the sodium carbonate to sodium bicarbonate, the phenolphthalein changes from pink to colorless. We could then add some methyl orange indicator to observe the color change from yellow to red at the second (lower pH) equivalence point, when the sodium bicarbonate is converted to sodium chloride. Conversely, if we titrate a solution of hydrochloric acid with sodium carbonate as the titrant, the acid is always in excess until sufficient sodium carbonate has been added to completely neutralize the acid. In this case, we use phenolphthalein as the indicator, because only one equivalence point exists for this reaction, and it is at the higher pH when sodium carbonate is in slight excess.
In this lab, we'll standardize an approximately 1 M solution of hydrochloric acid by titrating a known volume of the acid with a sodium carbonate solution of known molarity.
Required Equipment and Supplies
- googles, gloves, and protective clothing
- balance and weighing papers
- beaker, 150 mL (2)
- volumetric flask, 100 mL
- funnel
- pipette, 10 mL
- burette, 50 mL
- ring stand
- burette clamp
- storage bottle, 100 mL (labeled "sodium carbonate, 1.500 M")
- hydrochloric acid, 1 M bench solution (~ 10 mL)
- sodium carbonate, anhydrous (15.90 g)
- phenolphthalein indicator solution (a few drops)
- distilled or deionized water
All of the specialty lab equipment and chemicals needed for this and other
lab sessions are available individually from Maker Shed or other laboratory
supplies vendors. Maker Shed also offers customized laboratory kits at special
prices, including the Basic Laboratory Equipment Kit, the Laboratory Hardware Kit, the Volumetric Glassware Kit, the Core Chemicals Kit, and the
Supplemental Chemicals Kit.
Hydrochloric acid is corrosive. Wear splash goggles, gloves, and protective clothing at all times. (Phenolphthalein, formerly widely used as a laxative, was withdrawn from the market because of concerns about possible links with cancer, but the small amount used in an indicator solution is not ingested and is no cause for concern.)
Substitutions and Modifications
- You may substitute any suitable containers of similar size for the 150 mL beakers.
- You may substitute a 100 mL graduated cylinder for the 100 mL volumetric flask and/or a 10 mL graduated cylinder for the 10 mL pipette, with some loss in accuracy.
- If you do not have a burette, ring stand, and burette clamp, you may substitute a 100 mL graduated cylinder, with some loss in accuracy. To do so, fill the graduated cylinder with titrant and record the starting level. Transfer titrant to the reaction beaker by pouring carefully until the endpoint is near (evidenced by a non-persistent color change in the indicator that disappears when you swirl the beaker). Then use a dropper or beral pipette to transfer titrant dropwise until the end point is reached. Transfer any remaining titrant from the dropper or beral pipette back into the graduated cylinder, record the ending level, and subtract to determine how much titrant was required to reach the endpoint.
- If you do not have anhydrous sodium carbonate, you may substitute equivalent weights of the monohydrate, heptahydrate, or decahydrate.
- You may substitute cresol red, thymol blue, or a similar indicator for the phenolphthalein indicator.
This laboratory has three parts. In Part I, you'll make up a stock reference solution of 1.500 M sodium carbonate. In Part II, you'll use serial dilution to make up a working reference solution of 0.1500 M sodium carbonate solution to use as a titrant. In Part III, you'll use that tritrant to standardize an approximately 1 M bench solution of hydrochloric acid by titration.
Part I – Make up a stock reference solution of ~1.500 M sodium carbonate
- If you have not already done so, put on your splash goggles, gloves, and protective clothing.
- Place a weighing paper on the balance and tare the balance to read 0.00 g.
- Weigh out about 15.90 g of anhydrous sodium carbonate powder, and record the mass to 0.01 g on Line A of Table 11-4.
- Using the funnel, transfer the sodium carbonate to the 100 mL volumetric flask.
- Rinse the funnel with a few mL of distilled or deionized water to transfer any sodium carbonate that remains in the funnel into the volumetric flask.
- Fill the volumetric flask with distilled or deionized water to a few cm below the reference line.
- Stopper the flask and invert it repeatedly until all of the sodium carbonate dissolves.
- Finish filling the volumetric flask with water until the bottom of the meniscus is just touching the reference line.
- Stopper the flask and invert it several times to mix the solution thoroughly.
- Transfer the sodium carbonate solution to the 100 mL storage bottle and cap the bottle.
- Use the actual mass of sodium carbonate from step 3 to calculate the actual molarity of the sodium carbonate solution to the appropriate number of significant figures, and record that molarity on Line B of Table 11-4.
- Label the bottle with its contents, molarity, and the date.
Part II – Use serial dilution to make up a working reference solution of ~0.1500 M sodium carbonate
- If you have not already done so, put on your splash goggles, gloves, and protective clothing.
- Rinse the 100 mL volumetric flask, first with tap water and then with distilled or deionized water.
- Use the 10 mL pipette to transfer about 10 mL of the ~1.500 M sodium carbonate solution you made up in Part I to the volumetric flask. Record the volume to 0.01 mL on Line C of Table 14-4.
- Fill the volumetric flask with water until the bottom of the meniscus just touches the reference line.
- Stopper the flask and invert it several times to mix the solution thoroughly.
- Use the actual volume of sodium carbonate solution from step 3 to calculate the actual molarity of the working sodium carbonate solution to the appropriate number of significant figures, and record that molarity on Line D of Table 11-4.
Part III – Standardize a bench solution of ~ 1 M hydrochloric acid
- If you have not already done so, put on your splash goggles, gloves, and protective clothing.
- Use the 10 mL pipette to transfer about 10 mL of the ~1.0 M hydrochloric acid bench solution to a 150 mL beaker. Record the volume to 0.01 mL on Line E of Table 11-4.
- Add about 25 mL of water to the beaker and swirl the beaker to mix the solution.
- Add a drop or two of phenolphthalein indicator to the beaker and swirl to mix the solution.
- Calculate the approximate amount of titrant you expect to need to neutralize the 10 mL of ~1.0 M hydrochloric acid solution, and enter that value on Line F of Table 11.4.
- Rinse the burette thoroughly, first with water and then with a few mL of the titrant solution.
- Install the burette in the burette clamp and fill it to or above the top (0.00 mL) line with titrant solution.
- Run a few mL of titrant through the burette, making sure that no air bubbles remain and that the level of titrant is at or below the top index line at 0.00 mL. (It's not important that the initial reading be exactly 0.00 mL, but it is important to know the initial reading as closely as possible.) Record the initial reading as accurately as possible on Line G of Table 11-4.
- While swirling the beaker, use the burette to dispense into the beaker a few mL less of the titrant than you estimated in step 5 will be required to neutralize the hydrochloric acid.
- Begin adding the titrant dropwise but quickly and with continuous swirling. As you approach the equivalence point, you'll see the solution turn pink where the titrant is being added, but the pink color will disappear with swirling. This indicates that you are rapidly approaching the equivalence point. Using a sheet of white paper or other white background under or behind the beaker makes it easier to detect the first hint of a color change.
- Continue adding titrant slowly dropwise, with swirling, until the solution in the beaker shows an overall very slightly pink color that does not disappear when the solution is swirled. A permanent slight pink coloration indicates that you've reached the equivalence point. All of the hydrochloric acid is neutralized, and there is a tiny excess of sodium carbonate. A dark pink color (or any color other than pale pink) indicates that the equivalence point has been met and exceeded, which means you need to re-do the titration. If you use a different indicator, such as universal indicator, the indicative color change may be slightly different.
- Record the final burette reading on line H of Table 11-4. Subtract line G from line H and record the difference on line I as the volume of titrant required to neutralize the aliquot of hydrochloric acid.
- Calculate the number of moles of sodium carbonate contained in the volume of titrant you used, and record that value on line J of Table 11-4.
- Calculate the number of moles of hydrochloric acid present in the aliquot (remember that two moles of hydrochloric acid react with one mole of sodium carbonate) and enter that value on line K of Table 11.4.
- Calculate the molarity of the HCl bench solution, and enter that value on line L of Table 11.4.
Table 11-4. Standardize a solution by titration – observed and calculated data

Retain the stock sodium carbonate solution and the standardized hydrochloric acid solution for later use. The other solutions can be flushed down the drain with plenty of water.
Optional Activities
If you have time and the required materials, consider performing these optional activities:
- Repeat the titration once or twice and compare these results with your initial results. If the results are not in close agreement, run additional titrations until you have an accurate value for the molarity of the hydrochloric acid bench solution.
- Use your standard sodium carbonate solution and your newly standardized hydrochloric acid solution to determine accurate concentrations for various household acids and bases. For example, you might use the sodium carbonate solution (after serial dilution) to titrate aliquots of distilled vinegar (acetic acid) and lemon juice (citric acid), and the standardized HCl solution to titrate aliquots of household ammonia and liquid drain cleaner (sodium hydroxide).
Review Questions
Q1: Best practice when titrating an unknown is to do multiple titrations. Why?
Q2: List at least five possible sources of error in the procedure you followed in this laboratory.
Q3: You are titrating an unknown base solution and have standardized solutions of hydrochloric acid and acetic acid available. Is the acid you choose for the titration likely to affect the accuracy and/or precision of your results? If so, why?
Q4: Other than using an indicator solution, how might you determine the equivalence point(s) for a titration?

5 Insanely Successful Video Games That Were Total Ripoffs
#2. Ms. Pac-Man Is a Knockoff of a Pac-Man Knockoff
Via Crazykong.com
Ms. Pac-Man was the sequel to Pac-Man that took place after Pac-Man had a sex change operation. But it started out not as an official sequel, but as a completely unlicensed and shamelessly illegal knockoff ... that went on to become one of the most successful arcade games of all time.
Via Co-optimus.com
Future attempts like Ms. Mario Bros. or Ms. Call of Duty 3 had no such luck.
In 1982, when Pac-Man was still all the rage, two MIT students decided to create their own arcade game called Crazy Otto, which they accomplished by grabbing a Pac-Man cabinet and modifying the game's programming to their liking. The two students were excellent hackers, but not so excellent at disguising the stuff they were ripping off -- "Crazy Otto" was clearly just "Pac-Man, but with legs."
Via Gameinformer
Somehow, no appendages at all is less disturbing than only legs.
Midway, the North American distributor for Pac-Man, was prepared to sue the pocket protectors off these two students when they noticed something -- their illegally hacked game was actually pretty good. The enemies were smarter, the character moved faster and the mazes in general were just better. At the same time, Midway was getting antsy waiting for Pac-Man's creators in Japan to provide a sequel as interest for the original game was beginning to die down. Leggy Pac-Man walked into the scene at precisely the right moment.
Via Gamesetwatch.com
Look at it. LOOK AT IT.
So Midway bought the knockoff game from the students, replaced the new characters with the original ones and slapped a bow on Pac-Man/Crazy Otto's head -- that's how Ms. Pac-Man was born. The game was a massive hit, as fans hailed it as a harder, better and considerably sexier version of the beloved classic.
And you can barely tell she was once a dude.
#1. Guitar Hero Is a Knockoff of GuitarFreaks
When Guitar Hero came along in 2005, it finally allowed the average joe to pretend to be a rock star without the talent or the practice or the "leaving your room once in a while" that are usually required for the job. All they had to do was pick up the guitar-shaped controller, strum the bar in the middle and hit the plastic keys when the game commanded them to. It's pretty simple, and that's why the game became so popular. Why didn't anybody think of this sooner?
Oh, wait, they did.
Via Pcmag.com
Are you supposed to grab them and fight? Because that would be so much more badass.
That's GuitarFreaks, a Japanese arcade game released by Konami in 1999. The gameplay was exactly the same as Guitar Hero: Players pressed plastic buttons and strummed a large plastic flipper on a guitar-shaped controller in time with the game's music. Every so often, the player could even raise the fake guitar in the air to gain extra style points. A small meter showed how well a player was keeping up with the song; too many missed notes and it turned from green to red to "Game Over."
Via Gamesradar.com
Guitar Hero lacks the blue and yellow dongs from the Japanese version, though.
The game became a sensation in Japan and soon a PlayStation version was released, which came bundled with its own guitar controller. As Konami's music games started gaining traction in America, a company by the name of Red Octane began manufacturing controllers for them. Eventually Red Octane decided to make their own rhythm game using the same types of guitars ... and the same everything, really.
After hooking up with the developer Harmonix, who had a couple of music video games under their belt already, Red Octane grabbed the GuitarFreaks controller, added two more buttons and a whammy bar and called it a day.
Via Gamespot
"It was more of an afternoon, really."
They made the notes go down instead of up and changed the perspective of the "note highway," but everything was pretty much the same. Except for one small detail: Instead of using generic rock songs, Red Octane and Harmonix actually licensed rock classics like "Iron Man" and "Smoke on the Water." This strategy worked, and by 2009, Guitar Hero and its sequels had generated over $2 billion.
So what became of GuitarFreaks? It's actually still around, with sequels getting titles that are more convoluted and bizarre, like GuitarFreaks V5 Rock to Infinity, GuitarFreaks XG2: Groove to Live and GuitarFreaks V6 BLAZING!!!! Ultimately, though, it's still relatively unknown outside of Japan, while Guitar Hero, its knockoff, is the series that gets a South Park episode and talk of a reality show based around the game.

Sony seems to have landed in troubled water. While on one side it is dealing user with the information theft at its online gaming network, on the other Sony is being criticized for not disclosing the news about theft.
The PlayStation network was shut down seven days ago but the theft was not made public till Tuesday.
The information included names, addresses and probably credit card data of 77 million users.
Largest data theft
Michael Pachter, analyst at Wedbush, said, "This is a huge data breach. The bigger issue with Sony is how will the hacker use the info that has been illegally obtained?"
Sony generates approimately $500 million annually in revenue from this service.
Experts said that in their bid to offer innovative products rapidly, Sony probably did not pay attention to the security features of the software that ran its network.
Sony wrote on the official PlayStation blog Tuesday that some "illegal and unauthorized person" has obtained the names, addresses, security questions and other details.
Sony said it did not find any evidence about the theft of credit card data but cautioned its users that the possibility could not be ruled out.
"Out of an abundance of caution, we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained," said the company.
It recommended users to place fraud alert through the U.S. credit card bureaus on their credit card accounts.
Sony facing criticism
The company is being widely criticized for coming out late with full information about the theft. Sony joins the series of Japanese companies which have been accused of not disclosing complete information in the past.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. came under fire for the way it handled the nuclear crisis at its plant and earlier Toyota was accused on same grounds after it failed to provide full information about the massive vehicle recall given by it last year.
Sony has not commented if it is working in tandem with the law enforcement agencies in investigating this theft. It however said that it had hired an, "outside recognized firm" to investigate the incident.
Analysts blamed that while Sony had issued a notification to its customers, the company is still not providing information about how the data was stolen.
Experts said that in their bid to offer innovative products rapidly, Sony probably did not pay attention to the security features of the software that ran its network.
Alan Paller, of the SANS institute said, "They have to innovate rapidly. That's the business model. New software has errors in it. So they expose code with errors in it to large number of people, which is a catastrophe in the making."

GAUSE (January 22, 2013)--Milam County deputies arrested two more people involved in a cockfighting ring busted earlier this month.
The two arrested list their home of record in Gause.
Numerous tips led the Milam County Sheriff's Office, along with Pct. 1 Constable John Anderle and Texas Highway Patrol, to the property on CR 353 in Gause on Jan. 6.
Nearly 50 gamecocks were seized along with cages, artificial gamecock spurs, scales, slashers and other equipment.
Some vehicles were towed from the scene.
Dozens of spectators purchased tickets, but fled when officers arrived.
Since the raid, nearly a dozen people have been arrested on misdemeanor charges and at least a dozen arrest warrants have been issued.
Milam County Sheriff David Greene says several of the participants are not from the area but local arrests have been made.
While not all participants have been tracked down, several people have been contacted and are starting to turn themselves in, Sheriff Greene said.
More arrests are expected in the coming days.

I want to build something big.
Should* I build a complete house (interior and everything) with lego bricks?
* By "should" I mean, will it be safe? How big can I go? How much do you think it will cost?
James May built a full-sized LEGO house for his TV show James May's Toy Stories on the BBC back in 2009 using around 3,500,000 bricks. Whether you'd actually want to do this yourself...
During the episode they spent some time with engineering students working out the most load bearing configurations of bricks especially for the upper floor, as well as working on the general structure.
To get around the insurance requirements, in the end they resorted to building the house around a wooden frame including floors - and although they did continue working on the beams, and James did stand (rather nervously) on the final designs, they don't appear to have been released.
With regards to the rest of the house (i.e. fixtures and fittings) there were some issues as I recall:
If you want to know how many bricks you'd need, there is some site to help you calculate it.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- Gov. Steve Beshear will deliver the annual State of the Commonwealth speech to a joint session of the Legislature on Wednesday.
The speech is scheduled for 6 pm central time, and will be on KET.
Beshear has given some hints in recent weeks about legislative priorities that could be included in the speech. They include shoring up the state's financially troubled pension program for government retirees, reforming Kentucky's tax code, and changing a generations-old law that allows 16-year-olds to drop out of high school.
Unlike past years, Beshear said he doesn't plan to promote casino-style gambling in the speech. He said disagreement among gambling proponents on how to proceed make it unlikely that a constitutional amendment could pass the Legislature.
WBKO will have reaction from an educator and financial analyst to talk about the Governor's speech tonight.

Is there a way I can make things just assume that when I run them I am running them as a privileged administrator (AKA root)? I know it could be dangerous and all, but its a risk I'm willing to take in the name of convenience.
Normally I'd include instructions in an answer, but this is such a bad idea I'll point you to a couple places to read up on how to do this. You can take it from there. Note that when you break your system you can post here again for help, but people will laugh and shake their heads and make reference to pebkac errors, etc.
First, the Ubuntu help page on Root/sudo. Note the three large, prominent warnings.
Here's an Ubuntu Forums user that did something like this and couldn't fix their system.
Keep backups of your data if you do it, and consider the wisdom of trading security for convenience. Maybe put on an old Dead Kennedys album while you reinstall...
If you are only interested in specific things running as root, the setuid bit is the appropriate feature.
By setting this bit, the program will run with the permissions of it's owner. Therefore you can take a program, change it's owner to root, set it's setuid bit, and that program will then run as root with no special intervention.
Some programs in Ubuntu are setuid by default - for example,
This program needs to run as root because only root can open a port below 1024 for listening, which is required to listen for return packets.
As noted, allowing programs root permissions by default is dangerous, and is typically reserved for simple, well-audited programs - any program which could be exploited as the result of external input will run the risk of exposing your entire system to compromise, instead of just those areas your user account has access to.
Please don't do that. You're not only hurting yourself, but you're also hurting others. There are enough zombies, spambots and DDoS hosts as it is.

Mary Kay® Mineral Eye Color Bundles feature three mineral eye colors specially selected by expert makeup artists to intensify your eye color and make eye color pop. Also includes easy application tips and FREE eye applicators. Includes Mary Kay® Mineral Eye Colors: Sienna, Silky Caramel and Midnight Star.
NOTE: In electronic media, true colors may vary.
All prices are suggested retail.
Getting a beautiful eye look is simple when you know a few secrets that makeup artists use to create a gorgeous look. To get started, consider choosing eye shadows that work with your skin tone and eye color. Have fun playing with different colors to find your favorites!
Because the tone of your skin impacts a color after application, it is important to consider skin tone as much as eye color when choosing an eye shadow.
Ivory complexions work well with a range of neutrals, cool purples, reddish browns and blue-greens. For a more dramatic look, deep greens and taupes or warm purples also can be used.
Beige skin tones can be complemented with taupes, tawnies, greens, warm browns and deep plums. Charcoal gray, navy or deep purple are perfect for a striking evening look.
Bronze skin tones use deep or dark browns, deep greens such as forest green or charcoal grays. Dramatic looks are best created with dark purple, dark brown or charcoal.
When choosing eye shadows that bring out the color of your eyes, pick shades that either complement or contrast your irises.
Blue eyes radiate with warm browns, bronze, copper and other shades with similar orange undertones.
Green eyes look great in purples, plums and taupes.
Hazel eyes stand out in shades of deep greens and lavenders and shades with soft yellow undertones.
Brown eyes look gorgeous in any color, especially purples, pinks, grays or blues.
Get All For:
I ♥ Black
Mary Kay® Mineral Eye Color is famous for its oil-absorbing properties, ease of application, excellent coverage and adhesion to skin. MK Signature® lets you express yourself beautifully.
Mary Kay® Mineral Eye Color contains high-quality minerals that are combined with other beneficial ingredients to get the right texture.
When it comes to applying makeup like a professional, using the right tools can make all the difference. High-quality brushes can help you achieve a smooth, even look. Here are a few makeup artist tips and techniques you can use every day to get a polished look. It's all a matter of using the right brush to get beautiful results.
An Eye Definer Brush has bristles that are tapered and rounded at the end to help shape and define eyes and blend color evenly. Sweep color softly across the eyelid and then lightly above the crease for a natural, yet polished look.
An Eye Crease Brush has long, thin, pointed bristles and is used with midtone and darker shades of eye color to add depth to eyes. Begin by placing the brush at the outer corner of the eye and then sweep inward following the natural crease. This brush can also be used to create a smoky eye look. Using the brush tip, sweep softly along lower lashes from the outer corner inward.
An Eyeliner Brush is used to line eyes and enhance sparse brows with eye color. This flat, angled, short-bristle brush makes it easy to apply a thin line of color along top and bottom lashes. It's also a great tool to use for blending your eyebrow pencil.
Use an Eyebrow Brush to brush brows in the opposite direction from which they grow to remove any excess foundation. Gently brush back, following their natural shape and direction, as a finishing touch to your makeup application.

As the bunting is strung up and Londoners prepare for public transport meltdown, Pub Diaries is here to tell you beer drinking proles what else is happening in the capital this weekend. If your idea of a good day isn't watching Her Maj's booze cruise putter down the Thames here are a few alternatives which may float your boat.
Saturday 2nd June – The Euston Tap, Lager Party
A day of Punk and Hotdogs awaits at the Euston Tap's Lager Party. Czech Pilsner, Bavarian Helles, local boys Camden and their Black Friday await. For fans of self styled beer punks Brewdog there will be an exclusive supply of Growler, a Citra infused lager. We're told that they'll be using the UK's only Randall beer infuser.
Sunday 3rd June 13:00, The White Hart – Stoke Newington Literary Festival – Pete Brown's Beer & Music Matching
Billed as Pete and his iPod I'm thinking this could go either way. After seeing him tweet Eurovision on Saturday night I'm hoping that I'm not subjected to an afternoon of Boom Bang a Bang. At £4 for a beer flight and the opportunity to hear the beery bard I'm willing to take the risk. Tickets are selling out so get in while you can!
All Weekend, The Cavendish, Stockwell
I've always been a fan of The Cav and they know how to throw a party. They'll have events from Friday onward. Balkan Bebop, Burlesque, BBQ, Bingo and other letters of the alphabet.
Know of other events going on? Pop it in the comments… God Save The Queen

User Comments for Week 18 DEF Rankings
I can't believe you guys actually think these defensive rankings are viable. Do you guys watch these teams at all? Seattle should be first, followed by Cincinnati. I bet both get over 10 fantasy points this weekend. As for the rest, it will be a toss-up which gets burnt the most. Minny and GB will probably do worse than the others due to their playing each other for the 3rd time in the last month. I think Wilson will be able to take advantage of the Washington D, and I think Indy will do better than Baltimore in that game. Houston will be in this group of losers as well. Just my humble opinion.
Our defense projections are only for fumble recoveries, interceptions, sacks, safeties and TDs (punts, kickoffs, fumble recoveries, interceptions). We do not take into account points or yards allowed.

On Sundays, we try to give more insight of us behind the scenes. Try being the operative word, since I just looked back and it's been awhile since I wrote something about the cast. My bad. Today, I wanted to put the spotlight on a friend of many of us on the cast.
Meet Anna Thorsen. She's the Editor-in-Chief of The Social-Life.com. Recently, she launched a new venture called by post street. It's a limited edition t-shirt and music company which features fashion icons and house & hip hop deejays. The project is a collaboration between Anna and Vancouver street artist, Kat Thorsen (her mom). How adorable is that, right?
by post street held their launch party last weekend at 1181– one of our favorite YVR hangs. Anna is sandwiched between some of the lounge's hot bar staff. Side note: Carson, to her left, is one of my besties 😉 The one on the far right is DJ Adam Dreaddy whom we've featured on the site before. He provided wicked tunes throughout the day.
During the event, by post street debuted their first limited run tees, Collaboration 1 [KAR]. A great time was had by all. It was one of the best #sundayfundays I've had in a while. Collaborations will be released monthly and will feature podcasts made exclusively by the "DJs-of-the-month" to download for free. 3% of by post street's net-monthly profits will be donated to Vancouver Friends For Life. Check out the tees below, along with a picture of my friends and myself at the event.

I am designing a profiles page for a website where by the names and position of company employees should be displayed on all profile pages for easy navigation.
I do not want to put a
<ul> to the left of the image, that may likely make the page a bit busy, the other option I am thinking is to use a marquee, but that also seems to break down sometimes.
My question is, how can I put well designed links on that page sample while maintaining a good balance of white space.
Thank you.

Ballet Across America week at Kennedy Centerthree separate programs, June 10-15, 2008
Posted 11 June 2008 - 06:57 AM
* Ballet West in Balanchine's Serenade...and their own 'Big Red' (a-la Kondaurova of the Kirov) - a very tall redhead in the leading female role...not sure who she is, among names in the playbill [edited to add: below, pnbmom writes that it is Christiana Bennett]
* Pennsylvania Ballet in Robbins' In the Night...Riolama Lorenzo particularly gorgeous (2nd pdd)
* Houston Ballet in Welch's Velocity...the sure-fire audience 'hit' of the night...imagine Forsythe's 'Vertiginous Thrill' with a cast of 20+ dancers and going on for 25 minutes! The Herreras -- Melody and Randy -- were particularly outstanding among the soloists.
This program repeats tonight only (not the weekend). Program B commences tomorrow and repeats during the weekend. Program C commences on Friday & also repeats during the weekend.

It must be Vacation Season. Sadly, the 2nd Tier was about "half full" at the Tuesday opener...although the enthusiasm of the audience made up for the numbers. Hopefully things will pick-up as we enter the weekend.
I see that Sarah Kaufman's review of the opening night, for the Washington Post, is now up:
Posted 13 June 2008 - 05:00 AM
This appears to be the 'chamber program' of the run, with only one of the three dances utilizing a live orchestra...and a reduced one at that (14-15 member chamber ensemble).
Quick thoughts; will leave it up to others to elaborate:
Pacific NW Ballet - Jardi Tancat (Duato/Bonet recordings) - great job in one of Duato's seminal modern-dance works, set to Catalonian songs (as is the later & longer work by Duato, Arenal). Long-limbed Ariana Lallone (5'10" tall?) was particularly spectacular, making amazingly beautiful 'swishing' moves in her long blown skirt. Noelani Pantastico and Casey Herd were also wonderful -- both dancing their very last performances with PNB, before moving on to Monte Carlo and Amsterdam, respectively. In fact, all six dancers in this work were impressive.
Kansas City Ballet - The Still Point (Bolender/Debussy) - a Tudoresque short-story ballet -- in minimalist designs...no set, simple costumes -- with a touch of Balanchine in segments that include the full six-person ensemble. It's a shame that the playbill did not include a scenario although it seems to be about an outcast girl who finds love when the right guy comes along. Well performed and appreciated.
Washington Ballet - Nine Sinatra Songs (Tharp/Sinatra recordings) - frothy fun and a touch of melancholia in this well-known Broadwayesque modern dance. Super reception from the audience for the 'hometown team'!
The only pointe shoes of the night -- and live musicians -- appeared in the middle work, Still Point. Maybe they should have titled this program "DANCE Across America"?
Posted 13 June 2008 - 10:21 AM
Did anybody go last night to the 2nd (& final) presentation of Program A?
I was there Wed. evening. Pretty much a full house downstairs, though I don't know about upstairs. Lots of out-of-towners too. I loved Ballet West's "Serenade." The corps was light and tight and althogether right; the principals were strong, very dramatic and emotionally connected. They made a beautiful story out of this "plotless" ballet, although one that would be hard to put into words. Christiana Bennett danced both nights: 'Waltz Girl' on Tuesday night and the 'Dark Angel' on Wednesday night (thanks glebb for the info about Christiana!).
I share your observations about Riolama Lorenzo (In The Night); she and partner James Ihde got the biggest response of the three couples on Wed. (which is not at all to denigrate the other two couples!)
The audience just went nuts after Velocity, which fittingly closed the program (no way could anything else have followed it). They stood up and cheered until the house lights came on. I hadn't realized what a strong company Houston Ballet is.
Program B (Thursday) was less compelling, though it's always great to see the home team in action. Didn't seem like quite as full a house, perhaps because of the competition from NSO's concert version of Eugene Onegin in the Concert Hall that night. I am looking forward to Program C (Boston Ballet, Joffrey Ballet dancing Lilac Garden, and Oregon Ballet Theatre) tonight!
Posted 13 June 2008 - 12:41 PM
Wouldn't it be beyond wonderful if Maria del Mar Bonet showed up to sing live
Posted 14 June 2008 - 07:11 AM
The 3rd program took the grandeur up a notch, with all three (very different) works employing pointe shoes for the ladies and with a full live orchestra for two of the three works. Oddly, it was the ballet to music of Mozart that was canned...but I'll explain more below.
As before, I'll give a 'quick take' on the companies & ballets presented, leaving it up to others to elaborate:
Boston Ballet in Brake the Eyes (Elo/Mozart...with some odd talking and growling sounds in the mix)
Ugliest, most sickening ballet that I've seen in a long time. I stayed out of respect to the excellent dancers -- especially the hyper-athletic and 'funky moving' Melissa Hough -- but my partner actually got up and left halfway through. [Happily, he returned at intermission and enjoyed the last two ballets.] If ballet went to hell, this is what it would look like. Shame on Elo! Shame on Boston Ballet's management...having, in five or six years, singlehandedly destroyed its beautiful classical legacy for this kind of crap. Enough. On to better things. [p.s. I thoroughly enjoyed Elo's Slice to Sharp for NYCB a couple of years ago. I know that he can do quality work...but Break the Eyes is so depressingly "brown," muddy, contorted, sick. It's not why human beings go to the ballet, IMO. If they want this sort of thing, they can go to Butoh.]
Joffrey Ballet of Chicago in Lilac Garden (Tudor/Chausson)
Normalcy was restored with a gorgeous rendition of Anthony Tudor's early masterpiece that perfectly captures the psychology and feelings of its leading characters. Fantastic ensemble work and superb soloists but my hat's off to Victoria Jaiani as "An Episode in His Past." The new costume designs are a bit more colorful that the old traditional ones, e.g., Jaiani's character is now in fuschia instead of blue...Caroline's white dress now sports extra flounces. The set has no perfume or impact...some browish vines, from where I sat. Nonetheless, the ballet was a triumph and welcome relief from what we had to endure before this.
Oregon Ballet Theater in RUSH (Wheeldon/Martinu)
Pure delight from Wheeldon and the Oregon Ballet -- an explosion of beautiful, tasteful dancing in the ensemble sections of which Wheeldon is surely the world's #1 choreographer!!! WHOAH - Where did this ballet troupe come from? They are the undisputed revelation of the season, simply because I've been following ballet since 1978 and had never heard about them until this Ballet Across America festival. These are absolutely first-class dancers, not the least impressive being Alison Roper and Artur Sultanov in the achingly tender pas de deux that comprises the 2nd movement of the piece. Huge, huge ovation from the crowd.
A week of three cool programs and mostly-great dancing. Still...for me the very highest highlight of the week -- the moment of greatest impact and electricity -- blending dancing, designs, lighting, music, steps -- remains the Houston Ballet's Velocity in the first program. It's the one ballet among all seen this week that lifts my spirits to the highest level. I can't say why exactly...it just DOES!
Posted 14 June 2008 - 11:17 AM
"Brake The Eyes" (2007) -- well, it ain't Swan Lake, and it didn't break any new ground, we've seen this kind of thing before. The broken uglified movement fighting against a classical score, with some portentous sub-bass electronics tossed into the mix just to make us all understand that this is a "serious work." But, Boston danced the thing with such impressiveness and conviction that I actually enjoyed it! I'm so ashamed
"Lilac Garden" (1939) -- I'm probably in some kind of heretical minority on this, but I've always wished for more dancing, and less psychology, in this iconic work. Still, as with "Brake The Eyes," it was performed _so well_ ... thank you, thank you, Joffrey Ballet!
"RUSH©" (2003) -- In the 1st part with its eye-popping costumes and bouncy, cheerful, beach boys and girls on happy pills, I thought well, this is going to be a feel-good piece. And that would have been enough, all by itself; but then it got even better. In the middle part, Wheeldon deepened and intensified everything with a keen and yearning pdd (kudos to Alison Roper and Artur Sultanov) that perfectly matched the shift to profundity in Martinu's score. Good Times returned in the 3d and last part, leavened by some themes from Part 2, and jazzed up by some patented Wheeldon tricks (like where the lady, supported horizontally by a couple of men, skips lightly across the chest of her upright partner!) I had barely heard of Oregon Ballet Theatre before this performance, but they have to be on everybody's radar now!
Overall, this has been one of the most exciting weeks (or two weeks, counting Proteges) of contemporary ballet at the Kennedy Center. The mix of companies, styles, and works, both known and unfamiliar, has been simply outstanding! To pick just three out of many, if Ballet West, Houston Ballet, and Oregon Ballet ever decide to get together and hold a festival, I'll be on the first plane out west!
Posted 14 June 2008 - 10:52 PM
Christopher Stowell has catalyzed great change in the company's rep and technical standards, and it's great to see recognition for the company's work.

traumatized ballet
What a brutal and dead-on description.
Tudor's works are rarely seen anymore -- they require a level of character preparation from the dancers and attention from the audience that aren't necessary with the more contemporary repertoire.
That's it. I going back to bed now to crawl under the covers.

If $A$ is a finite simplicial 2-complexe that retracts by deformation onto a graph (1-complex), is it true that every subcomplex of $A$ is aspherical?
(This is the question that i am most likely interested in.) If $A$ is as above, is it true that every connected subcomplex $B$ of $A$ is of Euler characteristic at most 1, and if the Euler characteristic of $B$ is 1, then $B$ is contractible?

Gmail allows to limit from how many last days it will synchronize the messages. E.g. from one day, two, etc.
What is the default setting? I think this is phone independent, but I ask about Samsung Galaxy S, and SII.
4 days I believe, up till Gingerbread. I have Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) and it's currently set at 30 days and I haven't changed it on my device since buying it so I suspect ICS has is set to 30 days as default.
If you look at: http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=168499 (along with the other links I post below) you can see it mentions a 4 day sync, these posts seem to be referring to Gingerbread and below.
EDIT: After Googling around for a bit I think that 30 days is definitely just in ICS. A few people on various sites mention a 4 day sync which should have been Gingerbread and below. (Note that most of these sources are relatively poor but they mention the 4 day limit, hence why I've posted them)
This default depends on your Android version. The default setting used to 4 days but with ICS (might be honeycomb, I can't comfirm) it was changed to 30 days.

I know that MATLAB has mechanisms for generating code, but I've never used them. Have you? If you have - is it good enough (=fast enough, I guess) to be used in live trading systems? Anything one needs to watch out for?
Of course it is fast enough. But what is fast enough? I know guys who trade off Excel sheets and they make millions, but those guys are clearly not active in high frequency space. So, it entirely depends on your trading frequency and average holding period. I also know of shops that run live trading systems by calling R functions, so, obviously Matlab generated code is fast enough for a lot of algorithms. Chrisaycock is right in saying that it depends mostly on what you actually try to achieve and your own framework.
If I understand you right, you are talking specifically about Matlab's embedded code generation facility (see here: http://www.mathworks.ch/embedded-code-generation/). In my view, the answer to your question is clearly yes. This feature allows you to generate hardware specific code, e.g. for deployment on GPU's (video cards). It's used for aerospace systems, among other. In our area of expertise, this is probably as fast as it gets today, at least for some types of models. As a rule of thumb: the more complex your model, the more you get a competitive advantage with this technology. In my opinion, this favors mid- to high-frequency strategies (ultra-HF models are usually much simpler, so the overhead of routing calls to secondary hardware is usually too slow; for slow models, it's not worth the trouble because you have enough time to run it on a well-equipped desktop). A typical example where this would really pay off is a monte carlo simulation to calculate a VaR for the risk-sizing of an intraday trading strategy. In my view, even without code generation, Matlab is also a very robust and fast tool for production use. For example, you can compile code and, if well done, this is much faster then R. In fact, the company I work for does technology and trading strategy implementation for quant hedge funds, and Matlab is one of the technologies we use very often. The code generation, on the other hand, is still seen as leading edge by many. Thus, the time might still be right to gain a comparative advantage by using it ;-)
We were using Matlab with the Java Builder for numerical optimization and the results were very poor. Fmincon was taking about 30 seconds to converge, now we are using a native java library and the optimization takes from 0.1sec to 0.5 seconds

By Seth Ladd – May 09, 2014In which I port a snazzy little JavaScript audio web app to Dart , discover a bug, and high-five type annotations. Here's what I learned. [As it says in the header of this blog, I'm a seasoned Dart developer. However, I certainly don't write Dart every day (I wish!). Don't interpret this post as "Hi, I'm new to Dart". Instead, interpret this post as "I'm applying what I've been documenting."] This post analyzes two versions of the same app, both the original (JavaScript) version and the Dart version. The original version is a proxy for any small JavaScript app, there's nothing particularly special about the original version, which is why it made for a good example. This post discusses the differences between the two implementations: file organization, dependencies and modules, shims, classes, type annotations, event handling, calling multiple methods, asynchronous programming, animation, and interop with JavaScript libraries.

By Seth Ladd – February 05, 2014Angular and Polymer, sitting in a DOM tree, B-i-n-d-i-n-g. First comes components, Then comes elements, Then comes the interop with the node dot bind. Angular , a super heroic MVC framework, and Polymer , polyfills and enhancements for custom elements built on top of Web Components, can live harmoniously in the same app. This post shows you how to connect Angular-controlled components to Polymer-controlled elements via data binding. And we do it all in Dart . Angular and Polymer I get asked "Should I use Angular or Polymer?" a lot. My answer is, "Yes". That is, both libraries have distinct strengths, and you can use both in the same app. Polymer excels at creating encapsulated custom elements. You can use those custom elements in any web app or web page, regardless if that app is built with Angular, Ember, etc. Angular excels at application engineering, with dependency injection, end-to-end testability, routing, and services.

Thomas "TJ" Anderson of Annapolis would like to tell people about a fund he has started and the movement behind it called "Let's Fight Together," and he'll be sharing his story and information on that come Monday at 7 p.m. at the East Springfield Community Center during a rally service. The public is welcome to attend.
Doc Roe and Chelsea Matta will be singing at this, and Anderson will be explaining what led him to start the fund to help people in need and let them know they're not alone in what daily struggles they have, that God is with them as well as people who care.
Anderson is 33 and had a kidney transplant about five years ago, which his body rejected in January, putting him back on dialysis and back on the transplant list. He has been unable to work since having been diagnosed with IGA kidney disease in 2006. Before that, however, he was employed at Heritage Plastics in Carrollton.

Together" wristband

"'Let's Fight Together" is a fund where 100 percent of the money goes "straight to the causes," and donations are tax-deductible, according to Anderson.
From his own dialysis experience, Anderson said he would think of the circle in the dialysis unit, the chairs in a circle and the patients "arm in arm." He thought of it as them fighting together, that it was a kind of prayer circle almost.
"If we pray together, we fight together," he noted in an e-mail communication.
"I started this fund for anybody that has a fight - from people sick with no families to kids that deal with daily struggles," he said. "Nobody fights alone. We pray together. We fight together."
Anderson said he generated interest in the "Let's Fight Together" idea through Facebook. Tiger eyes are the logo because with "God in us we give somebody the eye of the tiger to keep fighting no matter what their fight. They're never fighting alone."
His intent also is to collect blankets for patients in dialysis units or help people who may need groceries, for example, or a little help with school shoes, and visit and pray with residents of nursing homes, all the while getting across the message that hurting people in need are not alone.
He hopes that "Let's Fight Together" also can help youth, organizing dances, for instance, that also can incorporate speakers to address issues relevant to youth such as bullying and self- esteem, for example. "We will have people there in case any kids need to talk about anything they might be fighting inside themselves. We want to let them know no matter what situation they're in, God's in you, and you're never alone. You have a friend," he noted.
Anderson did his first service in May at Wintersville Community Chapel, the church he attends. "I talked about what this fund was about, what led me to starting the fund, my story about the transplant and how it was miracle that me and Sue Davis matched like we were blood," he noted.
The East Springfield Community Center hosted the first benefit recently for "Let's Fight Together" with a pancake breakfast, according to Anderson, who said T-shirts with the logo and tiger eyes are being sold to benefit the fund. So are wristbands for $2 each.
"I know if we do what God says, the money and people will be there so we have faith in that."
Anderson would like to share his message at other churches and venues. For information, contact Anderson at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dear Members & Friends of Edgar Cayce's A.R.E.:
I want to take this opportunity to inform you about my new TV show, "Enlightened." It premieres on October 10 on HBO at 9:30 PM PST. It's a half hour comedy/drama that comes on right after Ted Danson's "Bored to Death." It stars my daughter Laura Dern as Amy and Luke Wilson as her ex-husband, and I play her Mom, Helen.
I think the show will be of interest to many individuals who have been drawn to the Edgar Cayce work, as it shows a very distraught woman having a nervous breakdown. She tries to find enlightenment, and she tries to maintain a positive attitude and yet she is around people who aren't enlightened at all. It's very funny, and has received great reviews. One said, "You'll want to TiVo this one not because you're afraid to miss it but because you'll want to watch it over and over."
One of the reasons I am excited about the program is that it really does help lift up television. It is good old fashioned entertainment. It is the story of a spiritual quest. I'm very proud to be a part of it.
Please encourage your family and friends (and all of their social networks) to watch this new series. I think you will enjoy it! I believe the show can help lift up people. It's a comedy/drama that portrays both a serious and a funny look at how hard it is to get enlightened in this world.
Remember to mark your calendars to watch "Enlightened" on Monday evenings on HBO.
Light and Love, Diane Ladd

Slow, in our culture, is a four-letter word. Slow is lazy. It's unmotivated. It's got an attitude problem.
Fast is where it's at. Fast-track your career. Fast-burn your fat. Get results … fast!
I like fast as much as the next mom. I badger my children to tie their shoelaces faster, eat their dinner faster, make their beds faster. We run for the school bus, race to piano lessons, zip to the grocery store.

In Ephesians we find that light (religious truth) is being deacribed as very powerul as it is able to make dead things living just by shinning on them.
But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." (Ephesians 5:13-14, ESV)
However this is no direct quote of any passage, so I imagine Paul simply puts it in his own words to apply it to the context. But what is 'it'? So what scripture is he paraphrasing here which fully suits the context? Why is it such a good verse to quote?

Food poisoning is a common, yet distressing and sometimes life-threatening problem for millions of people in the U.S. and throughout the world. People infected with food-borne organisms may be symptom-free or may have symptoms ranging from mild intestinal discomfort to severe dehydration and bloody diarrhea. Depending on the type of infection, people can even die as a result of food poisoning.
More than 250 different diseases can cause food poisoning. Some of the most common diseases are infections caused by bacteria, such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, E. coli O157:H7, Listeria, botulism, and norovirus.
What Is Campylobacter Infection?
Campylobacter is a bacterium that causes acute diarrhea. Transmission usually occurs through ingestion of contaminated food, water, or unpasteurized milk, or through contact with infected infants, pets, or wild animals.
Symptoms of campylobacter include:
- Diarrhea (sometimes bloody)
- Nausea and vomiting
- Abdominal pain and/or cramping
- Malaise (general uneasiness)
- Fever
Is Campylobacter Infection a Serious Health Concern?
Campylobacter infection can be serious, especially in those with weakened immune systems. In rare cases, campylobacter infection can cause additional problems such as reactive arthritis or brain and nerve problems. Occasionally, these problems occur after the diarrhea has stopped.
How Is Campylobacter Infection Diagnosed and Treated?
If you think you may have been exposed to campylobacter infection, see your doctor. By testing a sample of stool, the bacteria can be identified.
If you are found to have the infection, you will likely recover on your own without treatment within two to five days. Drink plenty of fluids to prevent becoming dehydrated.
In more severe cases, antibiotics (such as Cipro), if given early in the illness, can be used to shorten the length of time you are sick.
What Is Salmonella?
Salmonella is a bacterial infection that can be passed on to humans from domestic and wild animals, including poultry, pigs, cattle, and pets. But most often, it is caused by drinking unpasteurized milk or by eating undercooked poultry and poultry products such as eggs. Any food prepared on surfaces contaminated by raw chicken or turkey can also become tainted with salmonella. Less often, the illness may stem from food contaminated by a food worker.

Since the PSA assay hit the mainstream for prostate cancer screening in the late 1980's, detection of prostate cancer has allowed for various levels of stratification for treatment, including active surveillance. This modality for prostate cancer treatment has not been widely adopted based upon the imprecision of the risk status based upon TRUS-guided prostate biopsy.
A recent trial examined 124 men with favorable risk prostate cancer who were assigned to active surveillance. The trial sought to describe the extent to which repeat TRUS biopsy can detect and rule out clinically relevant prostate cancer in men with favorable risk cancer.
In this trial, repeat TRUS biopsy failed to detect 80% of clinically relevant cancers, with a negative predictive value of 23-60%. The authors state that from this unique study, their data will allow clinicians to discuss conservative approaches for presumed favorable risk prostate cancer. Importantly, the imprecision of testing and biopsy may be directly related to the choice of active surveillance.
The authors conclude that in patients to be considered for active surveillance, they should undergo template guided perineal prostate biopsies, since this modality is more likely to detect cancer than TRUS biopsies. Ultimately, there may be a selection bias for diagnosis of higher volume disease if a larger number of biopsies overlap and sample the cancerous lesion more than once, which would provide a false-positive result.
