FORT RILEY, Kan. (WIBW) -- Fort Riley soldiers who specialize in uncovering and destroying deadly bombs are taking their skills to Afghanistan.
Forty members of the 84th Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) Battalion Headquarters are deploying to Eastern Afghanistan.
A formal farewell ceremony was held on Fort Riley's Custer Hill Friday.
The troops will be helping Fort Riley's 1st Infantry Division Headquarters as they lead a regional command in an area the size of the state of Virginia.
While deployed, the explosives group, known as the "Crimson Talons," will also serve as the headquarters for six other explosives companies located throughout the region. They'll work under Combined Joint Task Force-Paladin.
"We're going to support the 1st Infantry Division and Regional Command East. We're there to provide command and control for all EOD forces in that specific area. At the same time, my soldiers are in the lead against the fight against the IED network. It's a pretty significant mission that's coming- a very tough and daunting foe, a very tough mission," said Lieutenant Colonel Mike Buckley, Battalion Commander.
"EOD stands for Explosive Ordinance Disposal. The layman's term is the Army bomb squad. We've spent a significant about of time, in the situation where we're going, training on how to defeat the improvised explosive device, the booby trap, the bomb, the deep area devices that are killing our soldiers down range. And that's primarily what I will have a significant amount of soldiers working on throughout that area in support of coalition forces to hopefully keep people from harming or killing both our coalition forces and innocent Afghanis," Buckley added. He said the soldiers will deploy in the next 7-10 days.
"A soldier marches to the sound of guns. They go to their nation's calling and today, they're ready. They're very motivated. They're very disciplined and I have no doubt they're going to make their country proud. They're going to make this unit and this installation very proud. The reality in our line of work is that there are no second chances. That's why the training is ongoing because there's simply no room for error. The cost is too great," Buckley told WIBW.

At this early stage in the pregnancy the placenta is much larger than the fetus. The fetus can just be seen within the amniotic sac. The fronds (white area) on the surface of the sac make up the placenta and at this stage surround nearly all of the amniotic sac.
When it comes to being pregnant, it seems your body instinctively knows what you like to eat. Experts are not sure how this can happen but it seems your body has natural protective mechanisms; certain foods are not good for the developing baby so your body turns you away from them; or your body is deficient in certain nutrients, so craves foods that will provide them.
Suddenly you can't stand the thought of food and drinks that you have always loved and find yourself craving things you never previously liked, or you long for bizarre combinations of foods. Aversions and cravings are often associated with nausea. It's common to be turned off by fatty foods since the smell alone can make you feel sick. You may start to dislike the taste or the smell of coffee or tea, cigarettes, and alcohol.
It is common to crave strong-tasting foods such as pickles, which may be due to the fact your taste buds change during pregnancy. What's termed "pica" is an unhealthy craving for bizarre items (see as a matter of fact).
You should try to eat healthily, but there are a few foods which should be avoided (see What to avoid). Otherwise eat whatever combinations you desire-and don't worry about the strange looks you might get in the sandwich shop!
There is no need to limit salt intake but don't have in excess of the recommended 0.2 oz (6 g) a day.
During pregnancy, your blood and other bodily fluids expand almost 50 percent, an expansion that requires extra water and salt. The majority of salt in the diet comes from processed foods, not from the salt shaker or the salt you add in cooking. To manage your intake, eat whole foods you cook yourself and add your own salt to taste.
If it's a mom-to-be's responsibility to play host to baby for nine months, it most definitely falls within a your dad-to-be's job description to see that your partner gets everything she needs. A word of warning: cravings usually occur the minute the local store has closed, or in the evening when you're relaxing. Forget the pickles and ice cream you've been told to expect. Instead, be prepared for a last-minute dash to the local pizza place, a trek to a 24-hour supermarket that carries organic sour cream-flavored potato chips, beets, or a chocolate doughnut.
You can help by preparing meals and snacks some of the time: if your partner is presented with healthy food lovingly prepared by you, she may be less likely to reach for any unhealthy food she craves.

Treating Drug Resistant Tuberculosis with Direct Moxibustion in Resource Poor Environments - A Pilot Study
by Merlin Young and Jenny Craig
The Moxibustion Method for Consumptive Disease was the title of a tract from the seventh century. Written by a nebulous Tang physician named Cui Zhidi, the text was subsequently lost, but it was referred to by other authorsrepeatedly while it was still extant, exerting both interest and influence for several centuries. For us today it offers just the earliest reference to the treatment of what is quite clearly tuberculosis with direct moxibustion. Chapters 51and 73 of the Ling Shu both had suggested earlier that mox

Automation product: Printer-applicator prints, encodes and applies RFID labels
The model 5300rfid label printer-applicator prints, encodes, verifies and applies pressure-sensitive RFID smart labels to cartons and pallet loads in one automatic operation. As the label is printed, the integrated encoder simultaneously transfers digital information to the ultra-high frequency (UHF) transponder embedded in the pressure-sensitive label material. If the system determines that a tag is unverifiable, it rejects the label prior to application. The printer includes thermal/thermal-transfer print-encode engines to produce imprints with text, bar codes and graphics at 203 or 300 dpi. Depending upon the print engine, labels can measure up to 5 x 6 inches and output at speeds up to 12 inches per second. Weber Marking Systems, 847-364-8500, www.webermarking.com.

I'm new to Mac and Xcode. I realize there's always a significant delay when I click the trackpad and when Mac responds to my action, around 300-500 ms or so, which is very annoying for me. I'm using a new MacBook Pro with plenty of memory and processing power.
Is it a "feature" of Mac? How can I turn if off?
EDIT: OK, I think it has something to do with the "tap to click" feature which I'm currently using. If I press to click, there's no such delay. Anyone has any idea how to fix then?

Is it true that an isolated fundamental/elementary particle does not decay?
It seems logical to me.
Is it true that an isolated fundamental/elementary particle does not decay?
It seems logical to me.
No, because not all the fundamental particles (in the sense of the standard model) are stable. In particular, electrons and photons are stable; muons and tau leptons are not, and will decay into lighter leptons, e.g. $\mu^-\to e^- \bar\nu_e \nu_\mu$.
Neutrinos are kind of funny because, while they are prevented from decaying in the traditional sense by conservation of energy, momentum, and lepton family number, they do oscillate - so if you start with an electron neutrino, for example, it will turn into something that can be observed as any flavor of neutrino, and in this way you can find yourself measuring something like $\nu_e\to\nu_\tau$. But then you can just as well measure $\nu_\tau\to\nu_e$, and if you have two (actually three) particles which can all decay into each other, does it even make sense to call it a decay?
Quarks try to be funny but actually wind up just being annoying, because they are never found in isolation so nobody is exactly sure how an isolated quark would behave if you could put one in a universe by itself. That being said, heavy quarks (charm, bottom, theoretically top) are routinely observed to decay in high-energy collisions, where asymptotic freedom presumably applies, so it's not much of a stretch to imagine that an isolated heavy quark would decay into lighter quarks plus a pion or leptons.
Likewise, the weak gauge bosons decay all the time in collisions, so if you managed to create a universe that contained only a $W^\pm$ or $Z^0$ and nothing else, it would presumably decay quickly into a lepton and antineutrino or into some combination of hadrons. Same goes for the Higgs, except with different possible decay products.
It's only true if you take "isolated" to mean "isolated for an infinitely long time", in which case, an unstable particle would never form either. An isolated particle is exactly stable, this is the S-matrix state, and the exactly stable particles in our world are the electron/positron, the neutrino, the photon, the graviton and some dark matter.
Presumably if it was fundemental there would be nothing for it to decay into ?

A paragraph on the back cover of Lester Hicks' new book "Against all Odds - 4th Down and Forever" pretty much says it all.
"If you root for the underdog, this book will reveal how the Marshall football program and Hicks' life rose from ashes to glory, both achieving levels of success neither had imagined possible."
Hicks, a 1970 Big Red graduate, was a member of the Marshall University program in 1972 and 1973, teams that took on the staggering task of re-establishing football at the school. He was a 6-5 defensive end on what was the second edition of the "Young Thundering Herd."
On Nov. 14, 1970, the lives of 75 people were lost in the worst single air tragedy in NCAA sports history. Among the losses were nearly the entire Marshall football team, coaches, flight crew, numerous fans and supporters.
For most people, the crash is a simply a tragic footnote in sports history, as well as the subject of the 2006 movie, "We Are Marshall." For Hicks, who resides in Powder Springs, Ga. with his wife Della, it is part of his life story. He returned to the Huntington campus last October when the school held a 40th anniversary reunion honoring Hicks and his teammates.
The event allowed him to renew the bond that he shares with his former teammates and prompted his decision to write the book. He began his work in February and his book was published on April 8 by Authorhouse.
Hicks encountered a life-altering experience and a date with destiny when the legendary Jack Lengyel, the head coach of Marshall University, recruited him. Lengyel told Hicks, "Other schools may want you, but we need you."
During his years at Marshall, the football program endured its lumps, recording a 2-9 seasons in 1972 before managing a slight improvement to 4-7 in 1973. In an effort to get the program off the ground, Hicks and his teammates made their fair share of sacrifices, gaining perspective along the way.
"I learned to sacrifice my talent for the betterment of the team by playing hurt and playing almost every position, including defensive tackle at 212 pounds, which probably cost me a potential career in the National Football League," he said. "On the football field, I worked as if I was to play for 100 years, and I prayed as if I was to die tomorrow."
Hicks' experiences at Marshall, as well as the memory of those who perished in the aircraft accident in, taught him to treasure each moment and each breath.
"I personally have learned that life is fragile," he said. "The loss of the players' lives taught me to never take life for granted, regardless of my age. I felt privileged to be a Marshall University football player, and I felt an obligation to play through frustration, fatigue and a partially torn deltoid.
"I learned not to complain about anything because millions would love to have the good and the bad of my life. I treat each day as if it is my last day of living. As a result, I accomplish what I can by not leaving anything for tomorrow."
In a summary about the book, Tiffany Hicks writes that her father's journey echoes the universal sentiment that you can beat the odds as long as you have faith, determination, discipline and a tireless pursuit of happiness.
"This book takes the reader on an insightful ride of heartbreak, triumph and perseverance," she notes. "In a time of despair, division and recession, a book like this is just what the doctor ordered because it's relatable and its message of hope and generosity transcends race, gender and/or age."
The book which carries a subtitle of "How the 1970 Marshall University Football Team Plane Crash Inspired Me" is available at www.amazon.com.
Hicks' book is the fourth on the Marshall plane crash.

So far Samsung has been rolling updates out using its windows only software Kies, and not over the air like the rest of the android world.
Is there anyway that non windows users can get these updates?
So far Samsung has been rolling updates out using its windows only software Kies, and not over the air like the rest of the android world.
Is there anyway that non windows users can get these updates?
I'd get a virtual machine and run windows in that for updates. Will probably be the easiest for you, if you're not comfortable with flashing. Usually the ROMs for Samsung come out as Odin packages (program Samsung uses for flashing i guess).
The forum for Galaxy on XDA has alot of resources to get you started. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=665
If the above doesn't help you, you can use a custom recovery. ClockworkMod Recovery has just been updated today. Follow the steps on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734166. With this you will be able to flash updates from Samsung when the community releases them as update.zip, from your sdcard.
This REQUIRES root on your device, but is probably your only solution without Windows. Before you start with this, sit down and read the resources on the forum. Flashing a wrong firmware COULD damage your phone. Be aware of your phone version. The above guide is for the Galaxy S i9000 International version.
Going through the Galaxy S Flash/Root/ADB/ROM guide on XDA, I just spotted this:
Which takes us to here Heimdall - Cross-Platform Open-Source Flashing Software:
Hopefully this will help us all out!
Though obviously as this is effectively a replacement for Samsung's Odin software it's more designed towards people who are happy grabbing their ROMs from various places across the internet and flashing them on in a fairly custom way, as opposed to Kies which is (supposed to be) pretty much plug and play.
If you can find someone or somewhere who has a direct link to the update, you can probably download it to your SD card using your mobile browser. Im not sure what the key combos are for the Galaxy S to get to your Recovery, but im sure with some web searching you can find out how. Once you are in Recovery, you can flash the update. I am basing all this on how it works on other Android phones but have not actually seen it done on a Galaxy S variant. You may try this site for Samsung Firmwares: http://www.samfirmware.webs.com/

July 31 2007: Update from Bill Crow:
This is a pretty exciting day for all of us working on HD Photo. Today, the Joint Photographic Expert's Group (JPEG) announced a new work item for the standardization of a HD Photo as a new file format called JPEG XR (XR is short for "extended range".) You can read the full details in the Microsoft press release here and the JPEG press release here. (Go ahead and check it out; we'll wait here.)
For the last five years, Bill Crow has been working on HD Photo, a new image file format that's intended to supplant the JPEG format currently at the heart of the digital photography ecosystem.
I first met Bill many years ago when he came to BYTE to show us HP NewWave, which was probably the earliest effort to produce an object-oriented file system for Windows -- originally, believe it or not, for Windows 1.0. The connection between NewWave and HD Photo is tenuous, but it does exist in the sense that the metadata strategies we're seeing today (see the truth is in the file) point the way toward ending the tyranny of the hierarchical file system.
Today's podcast begins by revisiting NewWave, but it's mostly about HD Photo: Why it was created, how it works, what it will mean to both amateur photographers ("happy snappers") as well as pros, and how it will be standardized and baked into a next generation of digital cameras.
Along the way I learned a huge amount about the current state of digital photography. For example, I knew that pros prefer to shoot in RAW format, but I wasn't clear what that meant. According to Bill, a RAW image is just sensor data from a high-end camera, which photo processing software later turns into an image. The professional photographer trades away convenience for control and flexibility. In the case of the JPEG images produced by the vast majority of digicams, though, it's the other way around. We get usable images without any fuss, but we give up the ability to reinterpret the data. HD Photo aims for the best of both worlds: ultimate control and flexibility if you desire, convenience when you don't.
Although Bill guesses we're two years away from commercial HD Photo cameras, the format is being used today to support Photosynth. As he explains on his blog, a compressed Photo HD image has a regular structure that makes it possible to extract images at various levels of detail without decoding the entire image.
There's a whole lot more to the story. I hugely enjoyed this conversation, and I think you will too.
Oops, something didn't work.
OK. That's good to know. With my CANON's RAW format (7 MB?) ,it's _nearly_ indiscernable from the highest JPEG setting (2 MB).BillCrow wrote:JPEG-2000 offers better compression quality than JPEG, but the complexity of the algorithm makes in unsuitable for mainstream digital photography usage.

What sorts of jobs are there, in which organizations, with what sorts of day-to-day responsibilities?
What areas are good for folks coming out of school, vs what are good 2nd careers for experienced folks coming from various disciplines?
As niche as "security" seems, it actually encompasses a few main types of roles, and a couple of areas of coverage. These are actually quite different...
Common roles:
Likewise, in all the above there are different areas of expertise, and an expert in one won't necessarily have anything intelligent to say in any other area:
On top of that, there are some that specialize in building the secure systems (at each level of the stack), and some that spend their time breaking them - and it is not always shared expertise.
There are probably even more niche-niches that I'm skipping over, but you're starting to get the picture.... As you can see, what a security guy or gal does on a day to day basis is as wide and varied as the companies in which they work, and the systems which they work on. Most often, this DOES require shifting several hats, and working mostly on short tasks... BUT what stays the same (usually) is the requirement to focus on the risks (and threats), whether its mostly a technical job as defining firewall rules, or communicating with the business and lawyer types about the organization's current security posture.
As to how to get into the field? Ideally, you have some experience (preferably expertise) in some other field, that you can then specialize to security.
I also strongly suggest reading lots of security books and blogs (I enjoy Bruce Schneier's stuff), and also try out OWASP for the application side of things.
For future reference and completeness, I'd also like to add that the UK Cyber Security Challenge site has a nice list of 8 different categories of security roles with explanations about each and sample roles, as defined by the Institute of Information Security Professionals (IISP) (after a study I suppose).
I quote the content here:
The SANS Institute offers a brochure on the topic for $5.00: The 20 Coolest Jobs in Information Security. That web page lists the titles along with a few sample descriptions.

I've imported some raw images from camera and made changes. When I close and reopen LR I can still see the changes, but my original important RAW file is intact. So I'm curious, where/how LR keeps my changes on top of RAW file? Can I make my changes on imported RAW file? Say want to crop imported file and keep just cropped version.
Lightroom does not make changes to the original file. It stores the actions of each edit in the LR catalog. When you Export an image to, say a JPEG, LR performs each of those actions, creating a new file, in this case a JPEG. It never alters the original. The RAW file isnt really an image, but data that was recorded by the sensor. You see an image in preview because the RAW file actually stores a small JPEG preview image within the file. So 'cropping' the RAW isn't meaningful. You instead use the RAW data to create an image that you can crop as your final output. The output can be JPEG, TIFF, PSD, DNG, etc.
The catalog location can be found by looking under Catalog Settings.
You can also ask Lightroom to store these same edit actions in a 'sidecar' file, which will be stored alongside (in the same directory) of your RAW image, by selecting "Automatically write changes to XMP" in the Metadata tab of Catalog settings.

Don't you just hate it when your computer crashes? Well, that happened to me a few days ago. My laptop computer is no more. The motherboard is fried and can't be repaired, according to the techies. I'm now in the market for a new laptop. Now I will probably have to go with Windows 8 and a bunch of new things I don't understand. Fortunately the old desktop computer is still working (v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y, but working). I still use it for writing these articles and for lots of other things, so it gets used daily.
My problem is that my Family Tree Maker software, my Creative Memories photo organization and repair programs, Rosetta Stone, and several other programs, with all their associated files, were only on the laptop. Fortunately, I have backups that were from only two or three days before the crash, and the hard drive was salvaged (they say everything is fine on the drive, but I haven't checked it yet), so the only big problems are the expense of the new machine, the reloading of several programs and then getting the data back into the proper places, and the time to do all of that (plus I am almost illiterate when it comes to doing that sort of thing, so I'll be taking my time with it). I hope to soon be up and running like normal.
Every cloud has its silver lining, though, so they say. While I'm deciding on my new machine I have been working hard on my photo project (the one I mentioned in the last article). The slides are almost to a point where I can pick up that project again in the fall without difficulty, and I have added almost 3,000 negatives to my negative files, while getting them organized with their corresponding prints.
What I do there is put a piece of archival tape on the back of the print, and then put the number of the negative in the lower right corner of the tape (I do that in pencil because ink can bleed, and I do it on a hard surface so I don't "dent" the picture). The number shows me where the negative is stored (negative sheet number and position on the sheet). That way, if I need to make copies of a particular print I can find the negative in about a minute.
The negative sheets are archival quality so the negatives are well-protected. I've been told that the worst place to store your negatives is in the envelope that comes from the processor. I also write the information for the photo on the tape (who is in the picture, the date, the circumstances, or anything else that will help identify the photo if someone picks it up).
Page 2 of 2 - Of course, with today's digital cameras we don't have the "problem" of negatives. I'm still old-school about that, though. I take digital photos but I still prefer negatives and prints. For one thing, with a negative and a print I have the photo in two places. If I have only digital, and forget to save to another place, the photo is only on my camera, or on my hard drive. I know several people who have lost hundreds, or even thousands of photos because they were on a hard drive that wasn't properly backed up before it crashed. I like being able to store the negatives somewhere else, too. It is much safer. Plus, with the negatives stored safely away I can always get a "fresh" copy if I need it.
Anyway, back down off the soap box of digital vs. film photography. It looks like the silver lining with my laptop's untimely death is that I can get some more of those projects done before spring really hits and I'm outside doing genealogy with relatives, or at the cemetery. As I asked in the last article, do you have projects that you should finish before it gets nice outside? Get them done if you can, and don't forget to back up what you have on your computer–it makes a huge problem into a little one if you don't have to try to figure out what was lost, especially if it can't be recovered.

Many economic experiments are run in the laboratory with students as participants. In this paper we use a newspaper experiment to learn more about external validity of lab research. Our workhorse is the Yes-No game. Unlike in ultimatum games responders of the Yes-No games do not know the proposal when deciding between whether to accept it or not. We use two different amounts that can be shared (100 Euro and 1000 Euro). In line with findings for the ultimatum game, offers were fairer and rejections less likely when participants are older and submit their decisisons via mail rather than the Internet. By comparing our results with other studies (using executives or students), we demonstrate, at least for this type of game, the external validity of lab research.

Dental Implants in London, Ontario
Dental implants are an ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.
While high-tech in nature, dental implants are actually more tooth-saving than traditional bridgework, since implants do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.
Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you ever lost a tooth. You know that your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally. Perhaps you hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth. Maybe your dentures don't feel secure. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence, there is good news! Dental implants are teeth that can look and feel just like your own! Under proper conditions, such as meticulous placement and diligent patient maintenance, implants can last a lifetime. Long-term studies continue to show improving success rates for implants.
What can Dental Implants do?
- Replace one or more teeth without affecting bordering teeth.
- Support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable partial denture.
- Provide support for a denture, making it more secure and comfortable.
- Preserve the integrity of bone structure after tooth loss.

QUOTE (rugmonkey @ May 2 2010, 09:02 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Loving the new mix. Good work. What you going to do next? Some chilled out minimal/dubstep/dub? (eg burial esc)
Thanks a lot mate. Glad you like it.
Yeah, I've got two mixes in mind at the moment. One downtempo, burial-filled mix and one a more heavy-hitting, banging dubstep mix, taking on board some of the suggestions made earlier in this thread in response to my first dubstep mix.
But yea, my main priority now is just gathering together some suitable tracks for the more chilled out one. I'm only really interested in mixing stuff that I've been enjoying recently (I like to keep my mixes 'honest', like that ), so it often takes some time for me to go through and review my recent listening habits and pick out stuff that works.

Law school will be one of the most challenging and exhilarating experiences of your life. It also will be one of your most important and expensive investments. More than 88 percent of current law students rely heavily on loans to finance their legal education. Because the amount of debt incurred during law school could impact your career choices and your financial well-being for many years after graduation, it is important to do a careful cost-benefit analysis of the schools you are considering. Two important questions are:
What will tuition and student fees cost?
This number will usually increase from year to year. Currently, full-time tuition and student fees at Rutgers are $26,084 per year. Average tuition and student fees at the 12 other metropolitan area law schools is $46,935 per year.
What other expenses should I plan for?
When calculating the cost of attending law school, students should include the cost of books, housing, food, transportation, and other miscellaneous expenses. These items, when added to the cost of tuition and fees, make up your student budget. The current budget for a full-time Rutgers law student living off campus is $48,840 per year. The typical budget for a full-time law student living off campus at the 12 other metropolitan area law schools averages $71,152 per year.
Over the three or four years of law school, these numbers will grow and will have a significant impact on your debt. We strongly encourage our students to live frugally while in school and borrow the minimum amount possible. Cutting unnecessary expenses and budgeting could help keep your costs below your estimated school budget. This is important because not every graduate will earn a six-figure salary at a major law firm, and not every graduate will want to work in the large corporate law firm setting. Many law students prefer mid-size or smaller firms; others are committed to public interest/public service careers. Salaries in these venues will be lower, so law school expenses and debt will play an important role in your post-graduation planning. Thinking carefully now about financial considerations — and living on a modest budget while in law school — will make it easier to realize your career goals.

5 Common Medical Procedures (That Secretly Aren't Worth It)
A thousand years ago, consulting a doctor about abdominal pains would have earned you a week in bed, covered with leeches, while a shaman sprayed chicken blood all over your torso. These days it seems to most of us that medical science has advanced a little since then.
Well, we hate to break it to you, but many of the common procedures in use today are about as useful, if not more dangerous, than that bucket of leeches from ages past.
#5. CT Scans
CT scans are what doctors describe to stupid people as "super X-rays." Prior to the CT scan, if you thought something funky was going on inside you and nothing showed up on an X-ray, your only option was to pretty much let a doctor slice you open and poke around in there. With the magic of CT scans, all sorts of things became much easier to see, including brain hemorrhages, heart disease and dinosaur fossils.
"Ma'am, it appears your arteries are clogged with Velociraptors. There's nothing we can do."
So what's the problem?
In addition to providing a window into your body, CT scans deal a superhero-inducing dose of radiation. But rather than letting you shoot webs or adamantium claws out of your hands, the ability it gives you is the power of cancer.
See, each CT scan shoots you with hundreds of times the level of radiation that you get from an X-ray, and some experts now think that one in 50 cases of future cancer will have been caused by all these CT scans.
Like this, if it was followed by months of chemo and a broken family instead of super-powered high jinks.
Of course, these days, we also have the MRI scan, which is not only superior in every diagnostic sense but has the added benefit of being completely harmless and radiation-free. So hospitals are rapidly switching over, right? Oh no, wait -- CT scans per year in America have shot up to around 62 million and it's estimated that 30 percent of them are completely unnecessary for making a diagnosis.
Why does this go on? We'll give you one guess.
That's right, money. CT scans are extremely profitable, and it's next to impossible for an insurance company to refuse to pay if the doctor insists he needs the scan to be sure of the diagnosis. Remember, these days the doctor may work for the same hospital profiting from the scan, or the doctor may even buy a CT scanner for the office and use it as a money-printing machine. You've got a mild case of the sniffles? Better order a CT scan, just to be safe.
"Sir, our preliminary tests indicate that you have way too much money."
In fact, there are quite a startling number of expensive/profitable procedures that are not only more dangerous, but also less effective than cheaper alternatives. The hysterectomy is one -- though it's estimated that 40 percent of women over 45 have gotten one, many are unaware that there's a procedure called embolization that cures many of the same problems and doesn't involve ripping out your lady-parts. Unfortunately, it rakes in much less money for the hospital.
To be fair, it's not all about greed. For instance, often patients demand CT scans, not because they know anything about them, but simply because that's what House would do. The doctor then takes a "better safe than sorry" attitude because he faces the risk of a lawsuit in the odd case in which something was in fact wrong and a scan would have caught it. So why not just do the scan?
And why not start a box-a-day cigar habit?
Oh, right. Cancer.
#4. Physical Examinations
They're by far the most common reason people go to the doctor. You turn, you cough, the doctor fondles your balls for a few seconds. Maybe he takes some blood. Then you get out of there with another year of health in front of you. They're probably the most known and accepted staple of Western medicine, with 64 million of them performed per year.
"That bra looks infected. I'll have to remove it."
So what's the problem?
Routine physical examinations first caught on in the 1920s, when it was discovered that people who got yearly exams tended to live longer.
Can you guess who chooses to get a yearly physical?
Unfortunately, this is a classic case of confusing correlation with causation. The kinds of people who like to keep up-to-date with their physical exams are the same kinds of people who focus on keeping a healthier lifestyle in general.
As it turns out, physical exams provide no real benefit if you don't have any actual symptoms of anything, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. Most of the time, you'll know that there's something wrong with you long before a doctor can detect it by cupping your balls.
Still, the physical exam is the bread and butter of the medical industry. Depending on your personal level of hypochondria, you can sign up for anything from a $5,000 Executive Special to your regular $120 McCheckup. All secure a steady income for doctors, and all are almost entirely pointless.
"MWA HA HA!"- The American Medical Association.
But just because it doesn't do any good, that doesn't mean it does any harm, right?
Well, first of all, the pricier examinations will usually involve plenty of those cancer-inducing CT scans. But then let's say that they do come back showing something suspicious. This leads to more expensive and invasive tests that often show that there was nothing wrong to begin with. The human body is actually full of things that look like tumors on a scan result, but if none of them are growing tentacles and slithering around your arteries, investigating every one of them just subjects you to unnecessary scalpel-stabbing.
Then again, what if the tests come back negative? Isn't the peace of mind worth it? Again, not so much. Apparently, this lulls people into a false sense of security, and they walk away feeling totally healthy. As we've pointed out, tons of terrible diseases can't be detected until they become symptomatic. But when symptoms of an actual disease do show up, people who get physicals are less likely to get these symptoms checked out, thinking that a "clean bill of health" is synonymous with "Wolverine-like powers of bodily fortitude."
Yet doctors keep doing them, often just to get us to shut the fuck up. They say that it's usually quicker to just run some tests than to take the time to explain why they're not necessary. Insurers, in turn, cover them only because we whine and bitch about wanting them. And all these quick bucks add up to over $7 billion per year. That's enough money to buy 23 McDoubles for every man, woman and child in the USA.
This is what our ignorance costs us, America.
#3. Circumcision
Circumcision is actually one of the oldest medical procedures in human history, coming into vogue around 25,000 years ago somewhere in Egypt. Ironically, despite its endurance, a lot of people still don't have a clear idea about why we're doing it, except maybe that it has something to do with Jews. Half of us men here in the West have had our dicks nipped and tucked and, aside from a very vocal few, haven't given it a second thought.
This is a family circumcision set from the 18th century. It includes a "spice vessel." People from the past are fucking crazy as birds.
So what's the problem?
It's completely inconclusive, though a lot of proud and uncut stallions will try vehemently to convince you otherwise.
The practice was popularized in recent times by, no kidding, cereal magnate John Harvey Kellogg. In addition to making breakfast fun, he embarked upon a crusade to eliminate the evil of masturbation through the two-pronged approach of feeding young boys Kellogg's Corn Flakes and chopping parts of their dicks off without anesthetic. Absolutely none of this is made up.
This is the face of a man who hasn't had a single good blowjob in all his life.
Today, the pro-circumcision camp says the procedure can lower the risk of things like penile cancer and decrease the chances of getting HIV, but on the other hand, you have rare-but-documented botched procedures that can result in death, or even worse, loss of the penis.
But overall, despite the popularity of the procedure, there isn't a single medical authority anywhere that will recommend it. Not because of any overwhelming negative side effects, but simply because it's a completely pointless medical procedure that just kind of caught on, like skintight jeans. It's medically comparable to removing a male baby's nipples at birth -- sure, they're useless, but all things considered, why add expense and/or risk if you don't have to?
For the sweet pleasures of conformity, of course.

Are the names Akiva and Ya'akov related?

Another name probably related to these is עוקבא Ukva (borne by several people in the Amoraic and Geonic eras).
This site lists only one proto-Semitic root עקב (although, as usual, the various descendant languages extend it in different senses). So it's most probable that Akiva is indeed based on the same root as Yaakov, and means something like "heel-grabber" or "follower" or something similar.
It's also worth noting that Targum Yerushalmi to Deut. 25:9 (cited in Jastrow's dictionary) uses the word עקיבא with the meaning of "heel."
They are related mystically. Arizal states that Akiva was a gilgul of Yakov Avinu. One of his supports are the similarity in name. Additional point he makes is : both married a woman named Rachel.
He says that Yakov needed to atone for the 22 years he was away from his father Yitzchak. Akiva accomplished this by serving his Rebbe, Nachum Ish Gamzu, for 22 years.
I'd strongly assume so (both spelled with the root עקב ). There's also the Mishnaic name "Akavia" עקביה, most likely also related.
Note also that Rabbi Akiva's first love is named Rachel -- as was the Biblical Ya'akov's.
The Mishna is full of nicknames and derived names (e.g. Yosef -> Yosei -> Issi); R' Avigdor Miller is quoted as saying that even the less-Hebraic-sounding names of the Gemara (Ashi?) were nicknames or derivatives of Hebrew names.

He walked out, Rachel's words indelibly etched into his memory.
He walked out, Rachel's words being indelibly etched into his memory.
Suppose we pick some slightly less awkward examples:
Still awkward, but I think both are grammatical.
Grammatically, I can't tell you anything certain, as my copy of CGEL is in my other pants. So I will speculate. In both sentences, everything after the comma is a dependent clause that's a variation of "Rachel's words were indelibly etched into his memory". The first sentence is similar to "He walked out, his face red" or "his grey eyes flashing" or "the spell broken at last" or "the severed limbs of his enemies scattered behind him". This sort of dependent clause is definitely grammatical, but I don't know what it's called. The second sentence is just a slightly different variation of the same clause, but again, I don't know what kind.
Semantically, there is just a slight difference. The first sentence only says that he walked out with Rachel's words etched into his memory. The second suggests that he walked out because her words were etched into his memory.
Update – Yep, they're clauses. Here, according to CGEL, they're being used as supplements. That means they're not grammatically required or tightly grammatically integrated into the sentence like a subject or object. They're tacked on at the end.
Example 1 contains a verbless clause. A plain old subject + predicate clause with no verb can be the object of the preposition with ("His pants (were) around his ankles" → "He was caught with his pants around his ankles.") or, sometimes, a supplement ("He stormed out, his pants around his ankles.")
Example 2 contains an -ing clause (what CGEL calls a gerund-participial clause). These are most often used in places where noun phrases could be used ("His death was not part of the plan" → "John being dead was not part of the plan."), and the subject of the -ing clause is usually omitted ("Being dead was not part of the plan."), so your example is unusual. Still grammatical, though.
They are still awkward after your edit, and Robusto's adjustment would be to
Other possibilities include
or perhaps
Not to put too fine a point on it, but they're both rather awkward. I'd recast them this way:
Given your new information, I think you are introducing unnecessary ambiguity with the two meanings of left. It's not clear who is doing the leaving of books, or if nobody is, as left can be used with or without an object. After your edits I would recast the sentence a different way:
Why make it so complicated? Write:
Both examples are absolute constructions. They are perfectly correct, but in most cases rather literary and old fashioned. I think Jason's explanation of what difference being makes is right, though I find it hard to explain why being makes a difference here.
The absolute construction is like a regular, attributive participial phrase, except that the agent/subject of the participle is not a noun or pronoun from the main clause but is itself a part of the construction:
In attributive phrases, the participle or adjective is an attribute to a head noun or pronoun outside the participial phrase (attribute in bold, head in italics):
Both attributive participial phrases and absolute constructions can be anywhere within a sentence:
Usually the head of an attributive participle is the subject of the main clause; but not always, as you can see in my second Nurse Ursula sentence.
The second sentence is a participial phrase, but the subject of the first clause is different from the subject of the second clause (which seems to me what my grammar book describes as dangling participial).
The correct sentence is the one already reported by others.
The first sentence is similar to a comma splice. To correct it, you could write it as one of the following sentences.

We played Last Night On Earth yesterday and got a little confused as to whether or not the Signal Flare was a gun.
I had Father Joseph in the Gun Shop and I thought that the Signal Flare was a gun (it looks like a gun, you fire it) which meant that I could pick it up but not use it. My opponent thought it was not a gun which meant I'd have to go to the Airplane Hanger to pick it up, but Father Joseph could use it.

No NHL? No worries. Plenty of hockey options in Connecticut

- Era: World War II
- Number of Pages: 328
- Subject: U.S. Navy
- Date Available: April 2002
The American fleet aircraft carrier Hornet is widely acknowledged for the contributions she made to the war effort. The Doolittle Raid, launched from the Hornet's deck, inaugurated America's Pacific counteroffensive and transformed the aircraft carrier into one of the world's prime strategic weapon systems. She was one of three carriers to participate in the victory at Midway and the fighting around Guadalcanal. Through the experiences of this key warship and the eyes of her crew and the aviators who flew from her deck, Lisle Rose recreates the first desperate year of the war in the Pacific. He tells how the Hornet was molded into a deadly weapon of war, how the ship was fought and ultimately lost, and what it was like to live aboard her at a time when the fate of the United States depended on the Navy's tiny carrier fleet.
In chronicling the carrier's operational history, the author contends that the fate of the Hornet's air group at Midway remains one of the great controversies in modern naval history and that the ship's importance in helping to keep the Japanese juggernaut at bay during the most critical period of the Pacific war is incontestable. His arguments ring true today as the controversy continues. Rose succeeds both in letting the reader see things the way the men of the Hornet did and in placing their experiences in a broad historical context.
Lisle A. Rose was an enlisted man in the U.S. Navy before earning his Ph.D. in history and serving in the state department's bureau of oceans and international environmental scientific affairs.

Stocks Notch Broad Gains
U.S. stocks reversed course to finish with broad-based gains, as investors seized on upbeat political remarks on the fiscal negotiations in Washington, and signs that the Federal Reserve could continue buying bonds next year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 106.98 points, or 0.83%, to 12985.11, rebounding sharply after having fallen as many as 113 points in the first hour of trading.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, meantime, climbed 10.99 points, or 0.79%, to 1409.93, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 23.99 points, or 0.81%, to 2991.78.
All 10 sectors of the S&P 500 were higher on a day that started with all of those sectors in the red. Leading the gains were consumer discretionary and energy stocks. Hewlett-Packard
led the Dow advancers. Chevron
and American
Political and monetary-policy developments in Washington drove trading one day after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said there had been little progress in Congressional negotiations, helping push the Dow down 89 points, or 0.7%, on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Erskine Bowles, the co-chairman of a high-profile fiscal commission, expressed pessimism about a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff. That sent stocks to their day's lows, with the Dow off 113 points at its nadir.
Just minutes later, however, House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said he was optimistic about a deal. That helped stocks pare their losses.
Later in the trading day, President Barack Obama said he was hopeful that the White House and Congress could act to resolve the fiscal cliff before Christmas, urging the public to put pressure on their Congressional representatives.
"The markets want to believe that a deal will be struck. How lasting this deal would be—could it be a six-month or a 12-month deal—we don't know, but the markets are starting to lean in the direction of some sort of an agreement," said Myles Zyblock, chief institutional strategist for RBC Capital Markets in Toronto.
In the final half hour of trading, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Fed will likely continue buying long-term mortgage-backed and Treasury bonds in 2013, pushing stocks on another leg higher.
Data on new home sales for October, meantime, missed estimates as the previous month's figures were revised downward, a sign that the housing recovery remains uneven. The Federal Reserve's "beige book" report of economic conditions described a "measured pace" of economic expansion across the country.
European markets recouped morning losses to finish with slight gains. The Stoxx Europe 600 inched up 0.1%. The region's markets were buoyed by a well-received Italian debt auction in which six-month Treasury bills were sold at the lowest average yield since April 2010. Separately, the European Union approved restructuring plans for four Spanish lenders, which will allow the lenders to receive funding from the European Stability Mechanism.
Asian markets were broadly lower as fiscal cliff worries spread, with Japan's Nikkei Stock Average shedding 1.2% and China's Shanghai Composite dropping 0.9% to a near four-year low.
Crude oil futures pared their losses but still traded about 0.8% lower to settle at $86.49 a barrel, while gold gave up 1.5% to settle at $1,716.50 an ounce. Some traders linked the sudden drop in gold prices, which came at about 8:30 a.m. EST, to a monthly rotation of futures contracts that may have been tripped up by the Thanksgiving holiday. The fall in gold prices was followed by a similar slide in oil prices about half an hour later.
The dollar rose against the euro but fell against the yen. Demand for Treasurys rose, sending the yield on the benchmark 10-year note down to 1.616%.
In corporate news, shares of Costco Wholesale COST 0.52 % rallied to lead the S&P 500 components after the wholesale-club operator said it will pay a special dividend of $7 a share and reported November same-store sales that beat expectations.
Knight Capital KCG 0.00 % Group surged on an offer from high-speed trading firm Getco for $3.50 a share in cash and stock. Later in the day, Virtu Financial LLC and its advisers privately submitted an all-cash offer Wednesday morning that would pay Knight shareholders about $3 a share upfront and would transform Knight into a privately owned company combined with Virtu, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the negotiations.
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters soared after the company's quarterly earnings and revenue easily beat expectations, benefiting from stronger sales of K-Cup coffee and tea portion packs. Green Mountain also provided a current-quarter earnings outlook that was higher than analyst projections.
Groupon GRPN -1.03 % advanced after The Wall Street Journal reported that the company's board of directors would meet Thursday to discuss whether to begin a search for a new chief executive, citing a person briefed on the matter. Chief executive Andrew Mason said later in the day that he remains the right person to run the daily-deals site, and acknowledged there have been "bumps in the road."
Fresh Market slumped after the specialty grocer met quarterly earnings forecasts but provided a somewhat downbeat full-year outlook.
American Eagle Outfitters AEO 1.88 % climbed after the teen retailer posted higher-than-expected net sales and stronger margins. The company also raised its earnings guidance for the year.
Express rallied after the retailer reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and provided a current-quarter outlook that was topped analyst projections, boosted by a strong Black Friday performance.

- Binding: Paperback
- Era: World War II
- Number of Pages: 224
- Subject: U.S. Navy
- Date Available: April 1998
A national bestseller when it was originally published in 1942 and the subject of a 1945 John Ford film featuring John Wayne, this book offers a thrilling account of the role of the U.S. Navy's Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron Three during the disastrous Philippine campaign early in World War II. The author uses an unusual, but thorough, spellbinding format to tell the story: an interview with four heroic young participants. Ranked "with the great tales of war" by the Saturday Review of Literature, it is a deeply moving book that describes the four officers' extraordinary exploits from the first appearance of Japanese planes over Manila Bay to the squadron's calamitous end-including getting Gen. Douglas MacArthur safely to Australia.
Filled with action, drama, and history, this unique portrayal of "America's little Dunkirk" was described by the New York Times as being "almost unbearably painful at times, yet so engrossing that few who begin it will be able to put it down until they have finished its adventure-packed pages."

Wikipedia says that the intermediate value theorem "depends on (and is actually equivalent to) the completeness of the real numbers." It then offers a simple counterexample to the analogous proposition on ℚ and a proof of the theorem in terms of the completeness property.
Does an analogous result hold for the computable reals (perhaps assuming that the function in question is computable)? If not, is there a nice counterexample?

The amazing art in Florence is easy to appreciate whether or not you have any knowledge of art history, but it is well worth taking a class while you are there.
The Boboli Gardens are traditional gardens, open daily from 8:15am to 4:30pm, or later (depending on time of year). The Galleria Palatina features many works by Raphael and others, open Tuesday through Sunday from 8:15am to 6:50pm. The Boboli gardens close in late November so make sure to go early.
Churches in Florence are definitely not exclusively for the religious, they are full of art, and as long as you do not interrupt a Mass you'll be welcome to look around.
One major work here is Fra' Filippo Lipi's Annunciation. Open Monday through Friday, 8:15am to 1:50pm, and on weekends from 8:15am to 7pm.
Student recommendations from Fall 2009. Let us know if this list should change!
Soccer is the sport of Italy and Italians take their soccer incredibly seriously and are deeply passionate about their teams.
The six most popular teams and their nicknames according to their team colors are: Napoli (Gli Azzurri), Roma (I Giallorossi), Juventus (I Bianconeri), Internazionale Milano (I Nerazzurri), Milan (I Rossoneri), and Fiorentina (i Viola). These are the top teams that are almost always in Serie A. At the end of each season, the three teams with the lowest number of points are relegated to Serie B, while their positions are then replaced by the the top three Serie B teams.
Big performers from the U.S. have concerts in Milan, Bologna, Rome.
Sintetika - A great club that hosts lots of indie, American bands like Deerhoof.
Teatro Saschall - Hosts some really awesome acts.

I rode out to a local ball-buster yesterday with the intention of climbing it as part of my round-trip. But as usual, once I had been up to the top and down again I looked over my shoulder and gazed wistfully at the beast I had fought with just minutes before. The pavement winked at me. The memory of fading endorphins left a nostalgic vacuum in the core of my body. Just once more?
Within two hundred yards I was regretting my decision. I had not eaten adequately the day before, and my breakfast – a fried egg sandwich – wasn't helping at all. A third of the way up the beast I was hurting. It was hot, and my legs were useless. I had no desire to reach the top again. The pain cave beckoned.
Entering the pain cave is something all cyclists do from time to time. It is cozy in there. The walls are ugly and there's nowhere comfortable to sit, but you feel safe. Inside the cave, you don't have to think about what's outside the cave: in this case a seemingly endless, punishing climb. Inside the cave, the legs keep churning away with no relation to the distance being traveled. Inside the cave, the ride recedes into the background, and all that remains is the beating heart, the spinning cranks, the heaving breath.
At some point during my stay in the cave I decided to look outside. Lo and behold, I was almost at the top of a huge bloody hill! The weather was perfect out there. The view was lovely. I stepped out of the cave and was greeted with a wave of nausea, and I leaned over my handlebars to catch my breath. I wheeled around to the other side of the road and began my descent. At the bottom, I looked over my shoulder. The pain cave was a distant memory. The pavement winked at me again. Just once more?

"Self-esteem is the center of everything," says Dr. James Davis.
That's why having low self esteem can take such a drastic toll on a person.
Sherida Newmister is a therapist at Rivendell Behaviorial Health Services. She says, "Self esteem has a lot to do with eating disorders. In fact, researchers will say self esteem is the core of eating disorders."
Anorexia nervosa is when someone diets so excessively they stop eating altogether.
Bulimia is when someone compulsively overeats and then vomits or uses laxatives.
Emily Kovar knows first hand how difficult having an eating disorder can be. She is recovering from anorexia.
Kovar says, "I really had a need to be able to control it. My grades and just being a perfectionist."
What's more the struggle to be thin is getting harder for even younger people.
Davis says, "There's a study that was done of fourth grade girls and it showed that 80 percent of them were worried about their weight. At ten years old."
Kovar says, "I remember coming home from elementary school and telling myself that my snacks need to just be vegetables from now on. And then it went from vegetables to you don't really need an afternoon snack. And it slowly just cuts itself down."
Another form of low self esteem can be through cutting.
Newmister says, "Many people who do cut do have low self-esteem. But most of it comes from severe internal pain."
This is when a person cuts themselves on their arms, stomach, or legs.
Davis says, "If you have pain on the inside, if I transfer that pain to the outside of me by cutting myself, then it will help the inside pain."
While there is no exact trigger for any of these disorders they are all considered coping mechanisms. Experts say that to treat them, you must first deal with the underlying problems.
