To determine the efficacy of dynamic gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the wrist in the evaluation of disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Thirty-six patients with RA (with different degrees of disease activity) and 5 healthy controls were studied. MRI was performed with a low-field (0.2T), extremity-dedicated machine. After an intravenous bolus injection of gadolinium–diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, 20 consecutive fast spin-echo images of 3 slices of the wrist were obtained every 18 seconds.
The curves of synovial membrane enhancement identified the following 2 groups: controls and RA patients in remission, and RA patients with active or intermediately active disease. Both the rate of early enhancement (REE) and relative enhancement (RE) were significantly higher in patients with active RA than in those with inactive RA and controls. The REE and RE were significantly correlated with the number of swollen joints (P < 0.00001 and P = 0.003, respectively), the number of tender joints (P < 0.00001 and P = 0.004, respectively), the Ritchie index (P = 0.0002 for both REE and RE), the Disease Activity Score (P = 0.0004 and P = 0.0008, respectively), the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) (P = 0.0002 and P = 0.0007, respectively), early morning stiffness (P = 0.001 and P = 0.009, respectively), the C-reactive protein level (P = 0.015 and P = 0.03, respectively), the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (P = 0.03, RE only), and α2 globulins (P = 0.036 and P = 0.028, respectively).
Our data support use of dynamic MRI for discriminating active from inactive RA. Enhancement curves are associated not only with laboratory and clinical indicators of inflammation, but also with the HAQ, a relevant predictor of RA functional outcome. This technique can be repeated frequently and is an excellent candidate for the ideal method for the followup of patients with RA.

From the opening pages, the scene is set for the obvious. Despite the special forces and media attention in front of thousands, a famous producer collapses and dies over breakfast. The likely suspects are identifiable but they have their own script, agenda and deviousness not to be apprehended. With other well-drawn characters, psychiatrist Cheryl Robinson, a recently divorced friend of Zach, and in-charge Captain Delia Cates, Zach and Kylie are on the case. Not straightforward as events rapidly take a turn for the worse. More murders, often gruesome and horrific, clearly well-planned, take place, throwing New York into turmoil. The elite of the Red Squad is being led a merry dance into dangerous territory.
Patterson writes with control and the events that follow are lively and not without humorous touches with Zach and Kylie bouncing off each other. The chase for the calculated killer is memorable and tense as any thriller should be with added asides between the protagonists.Read more ›
I know that James Patterson has been immensely prolific and commercially successful, selling millions of books around the world. Indeed, 'James Patterson' is now really a brand, and he tends to work with collaborators, producing a synopsis of a storyline which a co-writer will then flesh out into a complete novel. I am therefore unsure whether it it Patterson or Marshal Karp who is more to blame for this miserable excrescence of a novel.
The characters are barely even two dimensional and the plot shows absolutely no shame, with no police story cliché knowingly overlooked. I am glad I read this on my Kindle as it would be an outrage for decent trees to have been sacrificed for such unrelenting pap.
Detective Zach Jordan is a member of New York's elite force NYPD Red. Their job is to protect New York's wealthiest: the rich, the famous, the high profile figures. The story begins on the day Zach gets a new partner. His previous one is off work injured. Zach's feelings about his new partner are mixed to say the least. No doubt that she's a great detective but she's also a maverick, a loose cannon and a rebel. But that's not the real problem here. Kylie MacDonald is Zach's ex.
Their first day on the job together and a high profile film producer appears to have collapsed during his breakfast. On closer investigation the detectives discover he has been poisoned. It's a race against time before more of the industry's illustrious figures are killed off by a mad-man.
I don't think I've ever read an adult crime novel before. I have read James Patterson's fiction for teens - the Maximum Ride series and I did once attempt to read The Dangerous Days of Daniel X. I decided to give this a go for two reasons. The first was that I needed something really easy to read and not too wordy. The second reason was that I love TV cop shows. I don't however enjoy things that are really scary. This book is the perfect middle ground. I wasn't at all scared of the criminal mind who was attempting to take down the film industry. I actually felt a bit sorry for him. But I was still cheering on the detectives and interested enough to keep reading.
I liked the humour and the connection between Zach and the two women in his life. This was definitely a quick read and I enjoyed it enough to want to read the next book in the NYPD Red series.

FAYETTEVILLE Everyone asks Scotty Thurman about the shot, especially around NCAA Tournament time, but he likes to talk about the pass.
Twenty years ago tonight, Thurman hit the biggest shot in Arkansas basketball history - a high, arcing three-point basket that just got over the outstretched right arm of Antonio Lang - to lift the Razorbacks to a 76-72 victory over Duke in the championship game of the 1994 NCAA Tournament in Charlotte, N.C.
Thurman's three-pointer with the 35-second shot clock about to expire put Arkansas ahead to stay, 73-70, with 51 seconds left and the Razorbacks hit three free throws and held the Blue Devils to two points to clinch the title.
"Very few people talk about the pass," said Thurman, Arkansas' director of student athlete development. "They always want to talk about the shot.
1993-94 Roster
G Corey Beck 6-2 Jr. 8.8 3.9
G Clint McDaniel 6-4 Jr. 8.1 2.8
F Corliss Williamson 6-7 So. 20.4 7.7
F Scotty Thurman 6-6 So. 15.9 4.5
C Dwight Stewart 6-9 Jr. 8.8 5.0
G Alex Dillard 6-1 Jr. 8.9 1.1
G Roger Crawford 6-4 Sr. 7.4 1.9

"What if the ball never makes it to me? Then I don't get a chance to even get a shot up."
Dwight Stewart - who hit 37 three-point baskets on the season - was at the top of the key and appeared to have an open look when he bobbled the ball. With the defense closing in, Stewart passed to Thurman on the right side.
Thurman, 3 of 5 on three point attempts against Duke and 85 of 198 for the season, said a lot of players in Stewart's place might have forced up a bad shot.
"I just thought it was big-time of Dwight, at that moment, to gather himself and make a great pass," Thurman said. "I always credit him for having the presence of mind to remain unselfish even when it was a very, very tense moment in the game. He showed what we had worked on all year - to believe in one another."
Stewart, 0 for 5 from three point range, got his fourth assist of the game.
"I call it the assist that changed the world of Arkansas basketball," said Nolan Richardson, who coached Arkansas to a school-record 390 victories in 17 seasons from 1985-2001. "Without Dwight's assist, there's no shot for Scotty.
"So it was the greatest assist, along with the greatest shot. It was both of them. I look at them as two great, great plays."
The Razorbacks rallied from a 10-point deficit, 48-38 with 17:09 left, to beat Duke. Two days earlier, they erased a five-point Arizona lead in the final eight minutes to beat the Wildcats 91-82 in the national semifinals.
"I remember in both those games when we were behind telling our guys, 'Hey, baby, it's time to get in a street fight,' " Richardson said. "That means everything goes. You have to do whatever it takes in order to have a chance to win.
"It wasn't about X's and O's, it was about how can we come out and perform at peak level? I could do that with our team. They were very coachable. I thought they saw the game through my eyes."
Thurman recalled a moment during the Arizona game when Wildcats guard Damon Stoudamire talked with Thurman and Razorbacks point guard Corey Beck about the frantic pace while the teams we were waiting for a free throw to be shot.
"Stoudamire said, 'Man, how do y'all play like this? I'm tired,' " Thurman said. "Corey and I were looking at each other like, 'Did you hear what he just said?' I said, 'Well, let's keep the pressure going.'
"It was always kind of comical to us when we heard teams complaining about the pace. We always felt like it if an opposing player talked about how tired he was, that was even more incentive for us. It was like, 'OK, this is the part of the game we've been waiting for, so let's go ahead and open this thing up.'
"We knew the work we had put into it in practice."
Arkansas power forward Corliss Williamson was voted the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four after having 29 points and 13 rebounds against Arizona and 23 and 8 against Duke.
"Corliss was no question the best post player in the country," Richardson said. "He had great hands, and he was strong as a bull. He was a man - pure man - and everybody knew it."
Rob Evans, a former Razorbacks assistant who was Ole Miss' head coach from 1992-1996, recalled seeing Williamson in the Walton Arena weight room when the Rebels played at Arkansas.
"It was scary to come in there and the first thing you see is Corliss lifting weights," Evans said. "Then he'd go out and get 25 points and 15 rebounds.
"Once he got the ball inside, you were at his mercy because he was so skilled as a scorer."
Williamson was the only first-round NBA draft pick from the 1994 Razorbacks - No. 13 overall in 1995 to Sacramento - and only one to enjoy a lengthy NBA career. Darnell Robinson, a freshman center in 1994, was the last player drafted in 1996 - No. 58 by Dallas - but he never played in the NBA. Beck and Clint McDaniel had brief NBA careers as free agents.
"Arkansas had talent, but sometimes it's better if you don't have so many NBA players because then it's an unselfish team," Evans said. "They understand their roles, they're a little bit easier to coach, and they don't have so many people in their ears."
The 1994 Razorbacks, who finished 31-3, averaged 93.4 points but only two players averaged more than 9.0 points - Williamson (20.4) and Thurman (15.9). Six other players averaged between 8.9 and 7.4 points.
Thurman led a group of good three-pointer shooters, which included Stewart, Mc-Daniel, Alex Dillard, Roger Crawford and Davor Rimac. The Razorbacks hit 301 three point baskets.
Beck and McDaniel provided relentless on-the-ball defense while Robinson and Lee Wilson, both 6-11, gave the team a strong inside presence to take some pressure off Williamson. The Razorbacks had additional depth with forwards Ken Biley, Elmer Martin and Ray Biggers.
"It's kind of like a puzzle you put together, and we had the right pieces," said Mike Anderson, Arkansas' current coach who was Richardson's assistant from 1985-2001. "We just had a lot of weapons. It was a total team. No one cared who got the glory, and when we got to the big stage, those guys performed."
Biley said Williamson and Thurman played like stars but never acted like they were better than their teammates.
"Corliss and Scotty are both down-to-earth guys," Biley said. "They respected everybody on the team and would do anything for you. We always looked out for one another."
Richardson started four different combinations in six NCAA Tournament games, using more inside power to beat Georgetown and Michigan and more speed and quickness to beat Tulsa on the Razorbacks' way to the Final Four.
"We could play you any kind of way, and I could play any combination against you," Richardson said. "I was in no way predictable."
Richardson said he had a full team of leaders, but Beck topped the list.
"Corey was really the guy who held everybody together," said Dave England, Arkansas' basketball trainer for 31 seasons. "If I ever had any little problem, I'd tell Corey about it and he'd get it fixed.
"If somebody was late for getting treatment or was being noisy in the hotel hallway on the road, I'd tell Corey, 'Why don't you handle that so Coach won't have to worry about it.' Corey would take care of it, because those guys listened to him.
"People just naturally followed him, and there's no doubt he's the toughest player I've ever been around. He was always going to play."
Arkansas won the 1994 SEC regular-season title with a 14-2 record, losing at Alabama and Mississippi State by a combined three points and winning 90-82 at Kentucky. The Razorbacks took a 13-game winning streak into their rematch with Kentucky in the SEC Tournament semifinals in Memphis but lost 90-78 to the Wildcats.
"We didn't come in overconfident, but losing that game maybe helped humble us a little bit more to be able to go out and win the national championship," Thurman said. "If we had won the SEC Tournament, maybe we wouldn't have performed as well as we did in the NCAA Tournament.
"I would like to believe that was a little bit of a wake up call for us to realize, 'Hey, we've got to focus more on being able to win every game,' because survive and advance is the name of the game in the NCAA Tournament. You can't have any slip-ups."
Thurman said the Razorbacks were able to carry a chip on their shoulders throughout the NCAA Tournament, and it intensified the day of the title game when their morning shoot-around at Charlotte Coliseum was limited to a few minutes because of a scheduling misunderstanding.
"We were supposed to have 45 minutes to shoot, but then we only got to be on the court for two or three minutes and we just got up a few rushed shots," Thurman said. "We were at a point where we said, 'OK, this is the last straw. We don't even get to have a shoot-around?'
"So we were determined to go out and prove to everybody that we can win this thing. To be able to do that against Duke in the state of North Carolina was just icing on the cake."
Not everybody was against Arkansas.
President Bill Clinton, the former Arkansas governor, was in Walton Arena for the Razorbacks' 129-63 victory over Texas Southern, then attended their NCAA Tournament victories over Michigan and Duke.
"I talked to him from time to time on the phone during the season, and he'd be wishing us luck," Richardson said. "The game would be on TV, and he'd sneak out of whatever meeting he was in so he could see what the Razorbacks were doing. He was a true fan.
"I remember President Clinton had tears of joy when we won in Charlotte. It was unbelievable."
Richardson said it's difficult to believe that it's been 20 years since Arkansas won its lone national championship in basketball.
"It's something that will stay with me for the rest of my life like it happened yesterday," Richardson said. "That's just the magnitude of winning the national championship.
"Those kids on our team had so much heart, and it was just a matter of it coming out. With that team, it all came out together."

We study a class of circuit-switched wavelength-routing networks with fixed or alternate routing and with random wavelength allocation. We present an iterative path decomposition algorithm to evaluate accurately and efficiently the blocking performance of such networks with and without wavelength converters. Our iterative algorithm analyzes the original network by decomposing it into single-path subsystems. These subsystems are analyzed in isolation, and the individual results are appropriately combined to obtain a solution for the overall network. To analyze individual subsystems, we first construct an exact Markov process that captures the behavior of a path in terms of wavelength use. We also obtain an approximate Markov process which has a closed-form solution that can be computed efficiently for short paths. We then develop an iterative algorithm to analyze approximately arbitrarily long paths. The path decomposition approach naturally captures the correlation of both link loads and link blocking events. Our algorithm represents a simple and computationally efficient solution to the difficult problem of computing call-blocking probabilities in wavelength-routing networks. We also demonstrate how our analytical techniques can be applied to gain insight into the problem of converter placement in wavelength-routing networks

Finally, Simpsons and Futurama fans have the chance to see two worlds collide with this comics book. It's near 200 pages of pure fun. They found an entertaining way of making the two separation universe to make only one and I love every part of it. We also have a great gift inside, the 1st issue of the Simpsons comics. What can we ask more? A movie adaptation somewhere in the futur? This Simpsons/Futurama Crossover crisis really worth the 20$ retail price.

I'm not a real comic buff, but I enjoyed this comic. It references both shows quite well and has brilliant graphic art throughout. I also enjoy the draft drawings included which show would-be comic artists how the pages look before they're completed. The packaging is also great (collectible), definitely worth buying for a collector or teenager.

1. Field of the Invention
The field of the invention is devices for securing and holding beverage containers in automobiles.
2. Description of the Related Art
In recent years with the popularity of consumption of soft drinks, especially while traveling in automobiles, it has become widespread to provide various mechanisms and devices to hold and secure beverage containers. This has become especially helpful during those periods of time when the automobile driver or passenger are not actively holding and drinking the beverage. In this respect, various molded plastic cup holders have been devised, consisting generally of cylindrical sockets with an upright and supporting hook adapted to engage over a rail or an automobile door.
Cup holders of this design have been disclosed in the U.S. Patents to Shuford, Design Pat. No. 226,623; to Statz, U.S. Pat. No. 4,606,523; and to Wright, U.S. Pat. No. 4,634,089. In these three patents, a molded plastic cup holder is generally characterized as a hollow cylindrical socket adapted to receive the lower portion of a beverage container with an attached supporting hook to engage an automobile door. Various refinements are added to the various devices, such as using spring back surrounding arms to firmly grip the cup and to provide for variously sized cups.
It is also useful if the cup holder or beverage container holder may also provide means to keep the beverage cold over the period of time that the drink is being consumed or, if the beverage initially were warm, to cool it off and make it's taste more enjoyable. In that respect, Hodgetts, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,653,289 has invented a ventilator-mounted receptacle adapted to encompass the automobile air conditioning vent and to direct air into a almost completely enclosed plenum which houses a container of the beverage. Hodgetts' device includes means for attaching to the automobile vent in order for the receptacle to be hung in position spaced from the vent. The device to Hodgetts appears to adequately accomplish the task set out, however, it requires reworking of the automobile dash in the area proximate the air conditioning vent. In addition, the device of Hodgetts totally encompasses the air conditioner vent and substantially restricts the flow of cooled air from the vent since all cooled air must exit an opening in the device which may be less than five percent of the area of the air conditioning vent. Obviously then, very little cooled air actually is applied to cooling the container.
While there is apparent advantage of utilizing an automobile air conditioning system to cool down the beverage in a container, or to maintain the beverage in a cold state, it would be useful if the holder for the beverage container would be of rather simple construction and would be easy to apply to the vehicle, to use and can be completely removed from in front of the air conditioning vent when not in use.
This invention relates to a holder for beverage containers adapted to position the container proximate the air conditioning vent located on an automobile dashboard to permit the cooled air exiting the vent to impact the container to flow around the container, and thereby remove heat from the container and thus the beverage inside.
To this end, the holder is constructed to remove all barriers possible to the free flow of cooled air upon and around the container, and in addition, does additionally provide vanes to direct the cooled air to the container and thereby effectively enlarge the area from which cooled air is drawn.
More specifically, the invention comprises a generally split circular ring adapted to receive the beverage container, the ring connected to an annular flat base member by a vertical front connecting member, the front connecting member attached to the annular split ring and the base member at a point opposite the point proximate the automobile vent and the flow of cooled air. Attached to the ring are a pair of vanes situated on opposite sides of the ring generally in the space between the ring and the base member, the vanes adapted to gather in and direct cooled air from the air conditioning vent to the beverage container. The split ring is then connected with a vertical shank at the split, the vertical shank located generally opposite the front connecting member, the shank rising up to roll over into a flexible supporting handle adapted to be attached to the automobile dashboard immediately above the air conditioning vent. The vertical shank is characterized by a centrally located elongated slot to bifurcate the shank, each side of the bifurcated shank attaching to a side of the split ring, the bifurcation limiting the flexibility of the split ring, and also permitting the flow of cooled air from the vent through the elongated slot to the beverage container.
On the underside of the flexible handle is adhesive backed Velcro fastening material designed to engage similar Velcro fastening material fixed to the automobile's dashboard immediately above the vent. The flexible handle is an elongated handle with transverse spaced apart indentations which positionally reduce the thickness of the material and thereby provide hinges in order that the handle may fully engage the dashboard Velcro fastener and conform to roundness of the automobile dashboard.
It is an object of the subject invention to provide a holder for beverage containers proximate the air conditioning vent of an automobile.
It is another object of the subject invention to provide a holder for beverage containers which utilizes the automobile dashboard as means for placing the holder immediately in front of the air conditioning vent.
It is still another object of the subject invention to provide a holder for beverage containers wherein maximum exposure of the beverage container to cooled air.
It is still another object of the subject invention to provide a holder for beverage containers in order to take containers of varied diameters.
Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter. The invention accordingly comprises the apparatus and method comprising the construction, combination of elements, and arrangement of parts which are exemplified in the following detailed disclosure, and the scope of the Application which will be indicated.
For further understanding of the nature and objects of the present invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the invention in place proximate an automobile air conditioning vent;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the subject holder for beverage container;
FIG. 3 is a top view of the subject holder for beverage container;
FIG. 4 is a front view of the subject holder for beverage container;
FIG. 5 is a bottom view of the subject holder for beverage container; and
FIG. 6 is a side view of the subject holder for beverage container.
In various views, like index numbers refer to like elements.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a perspective view of the inventive holder for beverage container is shown in place on an automobile passenger dashboard in front of the air conditioning vent. More particularly, holder 10 is held over the automobile air conditioning vent 12 by means of flexible handle 30 attached to holder 10. Attached to the underside of flexible handle 30 is a strip of Velcro fastener material 34 which engages a similarly located strip of Velcro fastener material preferably glued to the automobile dashboard 8. Holder 10 is characterized as presenting minimal obstruction between the automobile air conditioning vent 12 cooled air and the beverage can that holder 10 is adapted to hold and secure. In addition, vanes 16 are attached to holder 10 to enlarge the area that the cooled air is drawn from the automobile air conditioning vent and directing that air to the sides of the held beverage container.
FIG. 2 is a perspective enlarged view of the subject holder for beverage container 10 showing in much better detail the elements which comprise the invention. Firstly, the device has a split upper circular or annular ring 18 which is broken only for the vertical bifurcated shank member 20 which joins ring 18 on either side of the split and, through an elongated slot 22 formed in vertical bifurcated shank 20, limits the flexibility of annular ring 18 to expand or contract in diameter. In addition, elongated slot 22 permits the passage of cooled air from the vent to the container. Attached to circular split ring 18 in the forward portion is down extending vertical front connecting member 24 whose purpose is to suspend bottom or base member 26 generally below annular ring 18 in order to provide bottom support to the beverage container interiorly to annular ring 18. Front connecting member 24 is placed opposite bifurcated shank member 20 on circular split ring 18. Interiorly to annular flat base member 26 is central opening 28 which permits the securing of objects other than beverage cans with flat bottoms, such as an object having a cone shape, for example, an ice cream cone.
A pair of vanes 16 attaches to the lower rim portion of circular ring 18 for directing the cooled air conditioned air to the sides of the beverage container. Vanes 16 comprise elongated plates which extend to a point proximate the bottom or base member 26 but do not, in the preferred embodiment, touch bottom 26. Of course, there is no reason why vanes 16 could not contact the bottom 26 and if additional stability were required, vanes 16 can be extended and bottom 26 sufficiently enlarged to join to the lower end of vanes 16.
Proceeding upward, connecting with circular ring 18 is front vertical bifurcated shank 20 which has, at its upper end, the flexible portion of handle 30 comprising, in the preferred embodiment, an elongated plastic piece wherein transverse notches have been formed at spaced intervals to provide a plurality of hinge sections separated by hinges 32 to permit handle 30 to conform to the shape of the automobile dashboard upon which it lays. Flexible handle 30 may be thought of as comprising both the hinged sections and the bifurcated shank portion. Immediately underneath flexible handle 30 hinge sections is a single piece of Velcro type fastener material 34 which runs under the hinged sections. As indicated in the discussion concerning FIG. 1, Velcro fastener 34 is adapted to engage a similar piece of Velcro fastener material permanently glued to the upper portion of the automobile dashboard.
Of course, any means could be used to attach the flexible handle to the dashboard, such as an adhesive.
The function and purpose of the subject invention is thus apparent from FIGS. 1 and 2 and its intended location in the path of cooled air conditioned air exiting from an automobile dashboard vent.
Various different views of the subject invention are shown in the following FIGS. 3-6. For example, FIG. 3 shows a top view of the invention showing firstly the circular or annular ring 18 designed to surround the held beverage container, the base member 26 immediately below circular ring 18, and central opening 28 located in the mid-portion of bottom 26. Protruding from opposite sides of annular ring 18 are air vanes 16 designed to direct the cooled air to the sides of a held beverage container. Vertical bifurcated shank member 20 is shown attached to annular ring 18, shank member 20 continuing into flexible handle 30 and flexible handle 30 being divided at spaced intervals by formed hinges 32.
FIG. 4 is a front view of the subject invention showing, commencing from the bottom, firstly flat annular base member 26 attached to front connecting member 24, which in turn is attached to annular ring 18. Similarly attached to annular ring 18 are the air vanes 16. Behind and to the rear of annular ring 18 is vertical bifurcated shank member 20 with its elongated slot 22, vertical member 20 then rising to form flexible handle 30.
FIG. 5 shows a bottom view of the subject invention detailing circular ring 18 surrounding base member 26 in the forefront with central opening 28 therethrough. Attached to circular ring 18 are air vanes 16 pointing in the direction of handle 30. Lastly, and shown on the underside of flexible handle 30 is the Velcro fastener material 34.
Finally, FIG. 6 illustrates the subject invention seen in a side view. Starting from the lower portion of FIG. 6, base member 26 attached to front connecting member 24 is shown, connecting member 24 continuing up to attach to split circular ring 18. Next, and running downward from annular ring 18 is air vane 16, air vane 16 almost dropping to bottom 26. On the far right hand side of circular ring 18 is vertical bifurcated shank member 20 which rolls into flexible handle 30, handle 30 being made flexible by means of a plurality of hinges 32 formed in the handle. Lastly, Velcro fastener material 34 is shown attached to the bottom side of flexible handle 30 by an appropriated adhesive.
In the preferred embodiment shown and described in FIGS. 1 through 6, it has been found that the best material utilized in the construction of the device has been semi-rigid plastic, however, the plastic must be capable of flexing at the point where the plastic is thinned such as at the location of hinges 32. The device may be formed in one single molding operation wherein the only addition necessary for a completed product is the attachment of the Velcro fastener. As an alternate method of construction, the various parts of the device may be formed separately and then attached by appropriate plastic adhesive. Lastly, various parts may be formed as one single part and then joined with other individual parts.
By the specified construction of the preferred embodiment, maximum circulation of cooled air from automobile dashboard vent around the beverage container is accomplished since measures have obviously been taken to reduce obstructions to the air flow. For example, the circular ring is split in the area which will be immediately in front of the vent, and even the vertical shank which connects the split ring with the flexible handle is bifurcated by means of an elongated slot to provide the dual function of permitting cooled air flow through the shank, and to limit flexibility of the circular ring. The vanes on the sides of the split ring effectively enlarge the area over which cooled air is drawn to direct the air to the sides of the container. Lastly, the front vertical connecting member which attaches the base member to the split ring is situated at a point opposite the automobile dashboard vent so as not to pose an obstruction to the cooled air flow.
While a preferred embodiment has been shown and described, it will be understood that there is no intent to limit the invention by its disclosure, but rather it is intended to cover all modifications and alternate constructions falling within the spirit and the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Exclusive male care despite extreme female promiscuity and low paternity in a marine snail
Correspondence: E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Males exhibit striking variation in the degree to which they invest in offspring, from merely provisioning females with sperm, to providing exclusive post-zygotic care. Paternity assurance is often invoked to explain this variation: the greater a male's confidence of paternity, the more he should be willing to provide care. Here, we report a striking exception to expectations based on paternity assurance: despite high levels of female promiscuity, males of a marine snail provide exclusive, and costly, care of offspring. Remarkably, genetic paternity analyses reveal cuckoldry in all broods, with fewer than 25% of offspring being sired by the caring male, although caring males sired proportionally more offspring in a given clutch than any other fathers did individually. This system presents the most extreme example of the coexistence of high levels of female promiscuity, low paternity, and costly male care, and emphasises the still unresolved roles of natural and sexual selection in the evolution of male parental care.

It's harvest time, and Donald Duck begins gathering up apples from his vast orchard. Alas, it doesn't take long for Donald to figure out that someone has been biting huge chunks out of his apples--and that someone turns out to be those prankish chipmunts Chip and Dale. Donald fights back by hopping in his helicopter and bombarding them with insect powder. This is but the first volley in a messy battle royale which is punctuated throughout by the famous schoolyard rhyme: "Applecore!"/"Baltimore!"/"Who's you're friend?"/"Me!"--climaxed by an apple splattered in the face of the unlucky "Me". ~ Hal Erickson, RoviNarrated by the ubiqitous Sterling Holloway, the cartoon begins as Mr. Stork delivers a new batch of arrivals to a flock of mother sheep. But there's been a mixup at headquarters, and one of the little lambs turns out to be a baby lion named "Lambert". Be that as it may, one of the ewes adopts Lambert as her very own--and as the years go by, he grows into an enormous (and enormously clumsy) lion. Because of his seeming cowardice, his unwillingness to ****** heads with his "brothers", and his weird appearance, Lambert is laughed at and treated as an outcast. All this changes when the flock is threatened by a hungry wolf, whereupon Lambert's lionine instincts go into full "courage" mode. ~ Hal Erickson, RoviDisney was known for combining his musical cartoon shorts into interesting feature-length anthologies and Melody Time is one of the best. But for the fact that all of the featured segments have musical themes, they vary widely in musical and artistic style. Included are the exciting "Bumble Boogie," with a jazzy version of Rimski-Korsakov's famed "Flight of the Bumblebee," played by Freddy Martin and His Orchestra; the legend of Johnny Appleseed, "Little Toot," the story of a courageous tug-boat narrated by the Andrews Sisters; "Trees," based on Joyce Kilmer's poem and featuring songs by Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians; "Blame It on the Cowboys," featuring Ethel Smith kicking up her heels with Donald Duck and his Three Caballeros pal Joe Carioca, and cowboy stars Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers in a live-action/animated retelling of the legend of "Pecos Bill." ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Children's LiteraturePhoebe is a precocious young girl with everyday concerns about school, friends, and family life. She always tries real hard, but sometimes her efforts are too elaborate and over the top. For example, Phoebe only intended to help her teacher when she stuck Post-it stickers all over her face; she wanted everyone to be able to clearly see the important class rules that were written on them. This behavior earns her yet another visit to the principal's office. Fortunately Phoebe's teachers, principal, parents, and even her friends, are patient and understanding. Everyone is tolerant and accepting of Phoebe, except her older sister, Amanda. Eventually, even Amanda realizes that Phoebe means well, however misconstrued her actions may be. Phoebe is a likable character with a sense of humor, optimism, and a zest for life. Readers will enjoy accompanying her on her adventures. This book is part of the "Phoebe Flower's Adventures" series. 2002, Advantage Books, Ages 8 to 12.

You really can't fake a laugh: Our brains are hardwired to tell the difference between genuine and fake chuckling
- Study found our brains respond differently to genuine and fake laughter
- Fake laughter activates a part of the brain linked with deciphering emotions
- While genuine laughter lights up areas linked with positive feelings
- Researchers measured brain responses of people as they watched videos
- Each volunteer picked clips they found funny and this ranged
from comedy show Flight Of The Conchords to the
Eurovision Song Contest
- Results were compared to how their brains responded to fake laughter
When laughter is forced, it activates a part of the brain linked with deciphering emotions. Genuine laughter lights up parts linked with happiness
Next time your boss tells a bad joke and you feel compelled to laugh, beware - they can tell you're faking it.
Researchers from London have discovered our brains carry out different process when we hear genuine laughter compared to fake chuckles.
When laughter is forced, for example, it activates a part of the brain linked with deciphering emotions.
This means we know it's not a genuine laugh, and we automatically try to work out why they're faking it, what the laugh means and what the they're thinking.
While genuine laughter lights up areas of the brain linked with happiness and positive emotions.
To test the theory, psychologist Dr Carolyn McGettigan from the Royal Holloway University of London measured brain responses of volunteers as they listened to genuine laughter on YouTube clips.
Each participant was asked to pick clips they found funny.
This ranged from comedy shows, such as Flight Of The Conchords, and even the Eurovision Song Contest.
The results were then compared to how their brains responded to fake laughter.
The findings revealed participants, none of which were told the study was about laughter perception, could unconsciously tell when the chuckles were insincere.
Dr McGettigan said: 'It's fascinating to consider the way our brain is able to detect genuine happiness in other people. 'Our brains are very sensitive to the social and emotional significance of laughter.
'During our study, when participants heard a laugh that was posed, they activated regions of the brain associated with mentalising in an attempt to understand the other person's emotional and mental state.'
To test the theory, researchers measured brain responses of volunteers as they listened to genuine laughter on YouTube clips. Each participant was asked to pick clips they found funny. This ranged from comedy shows, such as Flight Of The Conchords, pictured, and even the Eurovision Song Contest
Researchers from Indiana State University found that with laughter can boost the immune system by up to 40 per cent.
The study tested 33 healthy women.
Half of the women watched a comedy video together while the others watched a dull video on tourism.
When the films were over, scientists took samples of the women's immune cells, known as natural killer cells, and mixed them with cancer cells to see how effectively they attacked the disease.
They found that the women who had found the comedy funny enough to laugh out loud had significantly healthier immune systems afterwards than those who had watched the tourism film.
The study goes a long way to explain why people can easily spot when someone is forcing laughter.
Dr McGettigan added: 'Some of the participants engaged parts of the brain that also control movements and detect sensation.
'These individuals were more accurate at telling which of the laughs were posed, and which were real, when we tested them after their scan.
'This suggests that as listeners, 'trying out' how a laugh would feel if we produced it ourselves might be a useful mechanism for understanding its meaning.'
The study was commissioned for the second annual International Day of Happiness on Wednesday.
Dr McGettigan's findings confirm previous research from scientists at the University of
Tuebingen in Germany who investigated the 'laughter perception network' of the brain.
Lead researcher Dr Dirk Wildgruber found that parts of our brains sensitive to processing high-level, social information reacted most to 'joyous' and 'taunting' laughter.
Wildgruber's study said this is proof the brain is able to recognise the difference between types of laughter, and whether we're being laughed at, or laughed with.
regions of our brain that are more sensitive to picking up and
registering more complex sounds reacted most to 'tickling' laughter.

Besides "L'Ultima Cena", "The Last Supper" is also named "Il Cenacolo" in Italian.Why is it also named this way and when was it it first used?

From Dizionario Etimologico della Lingua Italiana (Cortellazzo-Zoli):
While in Latin it cenaculus was used generically as the place where people ate, in Italian it soon took the explicit meaning of the place where the Last Supper happened.
Keep in mind that in modern Italian "cenacolo" is also a meeting of intellectuals.
Cenacolo comes from latin and literally means the place where you eat. "Il Cenacolo" began the name of the place where "L'ultima Cena" happened.

dar tiriushttp://dailydigitaldeals.info/wp-con.../11/17/buy.gif
dar devans..
Made up: Darth Venom
Made Up: Darth Vileous
Darth Krayt and Darth Sidious. Sidious was the most powerful Sith, but Krayt was the last, so far (there may be more coming in future Legends novels). And Sidious, like many Sith, made Hitler seem like nothing, in terms of people killed:
Hitler and the Nazis: 3-4 million people over a period of 10 years
Sidious, Vader, and the 2 Death Stars: up to 1 trillion people over a period of 23 years, including those on Alderaan (or any other Death Star Target)
That's anywhere from 108,695 to 144,927 times the mortality rate, per year! Yikes! I wouldn't want them ruling ANY galaxy, not even IC 1101! :eek:
I like Darth Maul.
IIRC in the original Dune novel series, the crusade of MuaDib's followers across the universe resulted in something like 9 billion deaths, and some characters are discussing it and comparing it to Hitler on old Earth saying he "wasn't very efficient" by comparison. If humanity was as violent on a galactic scale, we could imagine such horrors. I've heard conflicting things about the number of people who are supposed to have died in the various Star Wars related battles or super-weapon things, but I imagine it's super high (considering how the EU had a new super-weapon seemingly every week, though a lot of them never actually got a chance to be used).
It's been a long time since I looked at it, but I recall some years back fans were talking about the apparent disparity between the size and scope of the various wars from the point of view of the EU vs. what Lucas says about his own movies. It seems like many earth sized planets with many times our real life population were wiped out, according to the EU stuff, but Lucas seems to want us to believe that the Clone Wars, the biggest war in the "history" of the Star Wars Universe was just a bunch of little battles between "clones" (why they don't count, I don't understand, since he leads us to believe they're fully human persons, slaves really) and droids, plus a relatively small number of Jedi (10,000 for a whole galaxy?). So was Alderaan a planet of a trilllion people, or was it a sparesly populated planet of a few million? Did the Death Star "only" have a million crew on board, or was it bigger? People debated this stuff on and on...
Back on topic, the whole Sith history was kind of interesting, although a bit implausible as it went on (only 2 sith for a thousand years and they were always trying to kill each other???). I did prefer it back in the old days when "Darth" was just Vader's first name and not a "title" for all these guys who decided to wear black and use a red lightsaber. While goofy, at least the EU explanation of the Sith seemed like it made a little bit more sense. Lucas decided to change all that and shrink things down for the Prequels in this area like so many others. This was in keeping with his idea of telling a "small story" even though it's set in what seems like a huge universe.
He invented it, and he changed it. I can get long-winded, so please bear with me.
It's true that much of the "Expanded Universe" stuff was made up by those writers, but it's also true that a good amount of material they created was developed from notes created by Lucas himself, and let's not forget that he signed off on this stuff. Lucas himself gave us the idea, for instance that the Jedi Knights and the Old Republic lasted "over a thousand generations" then changed it to "a thousand years." He was the one who gave us the impression that the size and scope of things like the Jedi, the Empire, etc. were a lot bigger than they "turned out to be" with the Prequels. If one examines the early scripts, the early notes and novels, and the stuff Lucas put out there (or approved in promotional materials and the "early EU," here I'm thinking stuff produced before the 1990's), we see that a lot of things about the backdrop of Star Wars were changed.
Yes, it was Lucas who "shrunk" things, and it was because he changed his own story. Back in 1989 (heck, you could probably after ROTJ), he wasn't really planning to make anymore Star Wars movies. Back in 2005, he was officially "done" with Star Wars, period. And things kept changing, it happens, but let's admit it happened. And now it's Disney's playground.
Long story short, Lucas gave us a backstory for the Star Wars movies, and he handed that over to the EU writers who developed it almost from the time of the movies themselves (with the novels and comics including the novelisations of the movies themselves which were released before each film), and it was "set in stone" as far as fans were concerned until the Prequels came out and changed a lot of stuff, and has been ever since.

Sweater Quest
Sweater Quest
My Year of Knitting Dangerously
Free Press, Paperback, 9781416597643, 220pp.
Publication Date: March 23, 2010
For Adrienne Martini, and countless others, knitting is the linchpin of sanity. As a working mother of two, Martini wanted a challenge that would make her feel in charge. So she decided to make the Holy Grail of sweaters her own Mary Tudor, whose mind-numbingly gorgeous pattern is so complicated to knit that its mere mention can hush a roomful of experienced knitters. Created by reclusive designer Alice Starmore, the Mary Tudor can be found only in a rare, out-of-print book of Fair Isle style patterns, "Tudor Roses, "and requires a discontinued, irreplaceable yarn. The sweater, Martini explains, "is a knitter's Mount Everest, our curse, and our compulsion. I want one more than I can begin to tell you."
And so she took on the challenge: one year, two needles, and countless knits and purls to conquer Mary Tudor while also taking care of her two kids, two cats, two jobs, and (thankfully) one husband without unraveling in the process. Along the way, Adrienne investigates the tangled origins of the coveted pattern, inquires into the nature of artistic creation, and details her quest to buy supplies on the knitting black market. As she tries not to pull out her hair along with rows gone wrong, Martini gets guidance from some knitterati, who offer invaluable inspiration as she conquers her fear of Fair Isle. A wooly "Julie and Julia, "this epic yarn celebrates the profound joys of creating and aspiring to remarkable achievements.
"To answer the seemingly innocent question, 'What makes knitters knit?" Martini visits knitterly landmarks, chats with influential figures, and ponders our peculiar habits and traditions—all the while marking her journey's progress through an exquisite Alice Starmore Fair Isle sweater. All roads ultimately lead back to one simple universal truth: It's not about the wearing, it's about the making."
—Clara Parkes, publisher of Knitter's Review and author of The Knitter's Book of Wool
"I could NOT put Sweater Quest down! I felt as though I was knitting the sweater along with Adrienne, felt her pain and her joy. Once I even thought, as I was packing the car, 'Now WHERE is that Alice Starmore sweater I was working on?' The book became that insinuated into my psyche. I love this book."
—Annie Modesitt, author of Confessions of a Knitting Heretic
"Adrienne Martini combines her passion for knitting with her astonishing ambition, bringing to her lovely new memoir an enthusiasm which is infectious. Sweater Quest will have you reaching for your needles to knit your own dream sweater, and it belongs on every knitter's bookshelf."
—Rachael Herron, How to Knit a Love Song

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Using Antibiotics Wisely
Topic Overview
What are antibiotics?
Antibiotics are medicines that kill bacteria. Bacteria can cause infections such as strep throat, ear infections, urinary tract infections, and sinus infections (sinusitis).
There are many types of antibiotics. Each works a little differently and acts on different types of bacteria. Your doctor will decide which antibiotic will work best for your infection.
Don't antibiotics cure everything?
Antibiotics are powerful medicines, but they cannot cure everything. Antibiotics do not work against illnesses that are caused by a virus. They do not help illnesses such as:
- Common colds.
- Influenza (flu).
- Most cases of acute bronchitis.
- Most sore throats not caused by strep.
- Runny noses.
- Most ear infections.
These illnesses usually go away by themselves. Ask your doctor what you can do to feel better.
Why not take antibiotics just in case?
If you take antibiotics when you do not need them, they may not work when you do need them. Each time you take antibiotics, you are more likely to have some bacteria that the medicine does not kill. These bacteria can change (mutate) so they are harder to kill. Then, the antibiotics that used to kill them no longer work. These bacteria are called antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
These tougher bacteria can cause longer and more serious infections. To treat them you may need different, stronger antibiotics that have more side effects than the first medicine and may cost more.
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria also can spread to family members, children, and fellow workers. Your community then will have a risk of getting an infection that is harder to cure and costs more to treat. Some antibiotics that doctors prescribed in the past to treat common infections no longer work.
Taking antibiotics you do not need will not help you feel better, cure your illness, or keep others from catching your infection. But taking them may cause side effects such as:
- Nausea.
- Diarrhea.
- Stomach pain.
- An allergic reaction. In rare cases, this reaction can require emergency care.
Antibiotics also can cause Clostridium difficilecolitis (also called C. difficilecolitis), a swelling and irritation of the large intestine, or colon . This happens because the antibiotics kill the normal bacteria in your intestine and allow the C. difficile bacteria to grow. This problem can cause diarrhea, fever, and belly cramps. In rare cases, it can cause death.
Women may get vaginal yeast infections from taking antibiotics.

Are Engagement Rings a Scam?
Posted February 16th, 2014 @ 9:02am
Are diamond engagement rings a scam?
Well, of all sources, a College Humor video may make you think. There are actual articles on the subject.
But, even though its supposed to be comedy, you can't help but wonder.
It doesn't matter, though. You pretty much have no choice.

I can boot into my Windows XP or Ubuntu 10.04 with no problem. When I was on 9.10, I can usually browse to my windows partitions with the File Browser. Now that I have upgraded to 10.04, I can't see my windows partitions anymore through File Browser. Any ideas how to fix this?
You can simply add the line into the 'fstab'.
System->Administration->Disk Utility Click on the hard drive name under "Storage Devices". Highlight the partition you want to mount under "Volumes". Click "Mount Volume" Now you will see the partition in the file browser (Nautilus).

The POTUS recently bitched that Hillbilly and BObama should focus on McCain instead of attacking him. After all, Bush-It is not running to be the next prez.Clearly Bush-It is not very sharp. He is weakest link and none of the candidate wanted to associate with him. I do not recall the last time he was invited to any election rally. McCain will look like a moron if he defends Bush-It, and an idiot to abandon him.

- If an infant has a hearing loss, what is the next step?
How is hearing in infants tested?
Hearing in infants can be tested using two different methods: the auditory brainstem response (ABR) evaluations or the otoacoustic emission (OAE) measures. Both tests are accurate, noninvasive, automated, and do not require any observable response from the infant. Which test is used depends on the screening program's choice of instrumentation and training. For a screening tool, both methods are extremely effective. There are, however, some distinct differences in how the hearing is measured using an ABR versus an OAE.
What is an ABR test?
In order to process sounds, electrical impulses are transmitted through nerves from our ears to the brainstem at the base of the brain. An auditory brainstem response (ABR) is a physiological measure of the brainstem's response to sound. It tests the integrity of the hearing system from the ear to the brainstem. The test is performed by placing four to five electrodes on the infant's head, after which a variety of sounds is presented to the infant through small earphones. As the hearing nerve fires, the sound stimulus travels up to the brain. This electrical activity generated by the nerve can be recorded by the electrodes and is represented as waveforms on a computer screen. The audiologist can then present different loudness levels of each sound and determine the softest levels at which the infant can hear. For infant-screening purposes, only one sound is used to test the hearing, commonly referred to as a "click." The click is a grouping of several sounds to test a wider area of the hearing organ at one time. The click is typically presented at a loud level and a soft one. If a healthy response is recorded, then the infant has "passed" the hearing screen. Testing usually takes five to 15 minutes to complete.
