The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on thrombin injections for pseudoaneurysms.
This is an injection treatment for pseudoaneurysms. A pseudoaneurysm is a collection of blood contained by clot that has formed outside a blood vessel following an injury. The collection is attached by a channel to the blood vessel so blood flows within it. A pseudoaneurysm may rupture and bleed severely.
Pseudoaneurysms (also called false aneurysms) differ from true aneurysms in that blood within a true aneurysm is contained by the weakened wall of the blood vessel, not clot alone.
The most common cause of pseudoaneursym is femoral artery puncture during cardiac catheterisation. About 100,000 cardiac catheterisations are performed in England each year (source: Department of Health Hospital Episode Statistics, ungrossed for missing data, 2000/2001). Up to 2% of cardiac catheterisations lead to pseudoaneurysm formation.
Pseudoaneurysms may also occur following other procedures that involve puncture of an artery, including removal of an arterial blood pressure line or intra-aortic balloon pump, or following accidental trauma.
Many pseudoaneurysms resolve spontaneously and need no treatment. The standard treatment for an unresolved pseudoaneurysm is surgical repair under general anaesthetic. This may be dangerous in people with cardiac disease. Other options include prolonged compression, which is time consuming and painful, and packing the pseudoaneurysm with metal coils, which leaves a lump in the groin.
Thrombin is an agent that causes clotting. It may be injected under ultrasound guidance into the pseudoaneurysm to clot the blood inside it. The clot is gradually reabsorbed. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
At the height of DC's big-event mania, it was almost a running gag that a forgotten DC character (most likely an obscure Teen Titan) would be decapitated, dismembered, or otherwise used as cannon fodder for the likes of Superboy-Prime or Black Adam.
Therefore, now that the dark period is apparently coming to a close, I thought it would be nice to look at some dust-gathering DC folk who might benefit from the occasional guest appearance. Take last week's Justice League #41, for instance. A flashback featured the 18th-century characters Tomahawk and Miss Liberty, who found an otherworldly artifact examined in the present day by scientist Darwin Jones. Later in the issue, Troia finds Batman and Robin taking out the Yellow Wasp (who both she and I initially misidentified as Killer Moth).
To be sure, DC is no stranger to reviving obscure characters. Conversely, it could fill quite a few issues with characters we'd be just as happy to leave in limbo. Therefore, it wasn't easy finding characters wrongfully denied the spotlight … but I tried nonetheless.
Accordingly, in alphabetical order, here are some folks I wouldn't mind seeing again under better circumstances.
* * *
As part of a Superman-free alternate reality shown in 1994's Zero Hour, the Alpha Centurion was Metropolis' hero, and also Lois Lane's boyfriend. Although this timeline was eventually wiped out, pretty much the same guy returned about a year later, in The Adventures Of Superman #527 (September 1995); and even in the regular timeline the "Lois Lane's boyfriend" thing remained a source of tension. By way of origin, AC was an ordinary second-century Roman soldier named Marcus Aelius until he was abducted by aliens, trained in the heroic arts, and returned to 20th-Century Earth. For a while he was head of Team Luthor, the corporation's battle-armored private security force; but Lex Luthor ended up running him out of town. From what I can tell, his most recent appearance was in December 1996's Superman: The Wedding Special.
I've mentioned Amethyst, Princess Of Gemworld a few times in this space, but one more won't hurt. While Amethyst isn't connected especially strongly to the DC superhero line, she did appear in an Infinite Crisis cameo and as a Lord of Order she's connected to Dr. Fate. However, because she started out as an Earth teenager, her roots are fairly mundane. Ideally, her adventures would have been collected by now, and she'd be helping expand DC's readership. All that notwithstanding, I could see her showing up in a Phantom Stranger-esque expositional role, guiding the Justice League and/or Justice Society through some magical conundrum.
The Butcher was a Native American superhero created by Mike Baron and Shea Anton Pensa. A Lakota Indian who became an Army Ranger, he debuted in a 1990 miniseries, and reappeared in a 1991 Brave and the Bold miniseries alongside Green Arrow, Black Canary, and the Question. I never read either miniseries, but he strikes me as the kind of coldly-competent fighter who'd fit neatly into a wide variety of guest-star roles. He did have a cameo in Kevin Smith's Green Arrow, but I'm surprised he hasn't been used more often, especially in Chuck Dixon's '90s heyday.
Arguably, the Challengers of the Unknown don't need special attention, but the last time we saw them (in The Brave and the Bold #12) they were on the trail of one of their own. I have a feeling the Challs' search for June Robbins would have been explored further if Mark Waid had kept writing B&B, but it would be nice to check in with them regardless. Although the Challengers are DC's non-powered version of the Fantastic Four, with experiences comparable to any superhero team, they still come across more as ordinary folks leading extraordinary lives. That makes them both "realistic" (relatively speaking) and Silver Age-y, not unlike the Blackhawks or Adam Strange. In fact, for an ostensibly more "realistic" team, I wouldn't mind seeing the late-'90s Challengers team reunited. That take on COTU seemed to draw heavily on an X Files-ish atmosphere of creeping dread, and its characters were more downbeat as a result. At the very least, the Challengers are a fine way to show the superheroes from a different perspective.
The mysterious Faith ran the risk of Mary-Sue-dom when she was introduced during JLA's "The Obsidian Age." Showing up out of nowhere with her credibility resting largely on an absent Batman's recommendation, she stayed with the League for a brief period before moving over to the Doom Patrol. Her powers are vast but undefined, she has a mysterious background, and she exudes an aura of trust and confidence which helps groups work together. In other words, she is potentially all sizzle and no steak, and a little more definition might do her some good.
Itty, or "That Thing On Hal Jordan's Shoulder," was created by Denny O'Neil and Mike Grell when they were producing Green Lantern backup stories for The Flash. Basically a little alien worm whose race Hal saved, Itty gave Hal someone to talk to during those lonely treks through Space Sector 2814. He appeared off and on from December 1975's Flash #238 through July 1978's Green Lantern #106. Once GL got his own book back, though, he was paired again with Green Arrow, which kind of left Itty out in the cold. Indeed, GL #106 (also by O'Neil and Grell) wrote the little guy out of the series, having him metamorphose into a humanoid and leave Earth. Readers next saw Itty in 1993, when Hal helped him and his mate fight off their mortal enemies and repopulate their species. Itty probably isn't on Geoff Johns's radar (sarcastic mentions at conventions notwithstanding), but it might be a nice change of pace to check in with him once all the sturm und drang is over.
A few years ago Dave Campbell took down Signalman thusly: "[b]ack in the day, all you needed to be a Batman villain was a gimmick, an ugly-ass costume, and a wildly unrealistic sense of confidence." These things are all true, especially the costume. Decked out in orange and yellow, Signalman certainly stood out in gloomy Gotham. Regardless, he had his moments — off the top of my head I remember his stint with the Secret Society of Super-Villains, when he used a blinking neon sign to hyp-mo-tize a crowd into subduing the Darknight Detective. People made fun of the Riddler for essentially blabbing his schemes ahead of time; and while Signalman has all the subtlety of a traffic cone, at least he doesn't have that hangup. He still makes occasional cameos in crowded events like Final Crisis and Trinity, and his last real contribution I remember was as a drug-addled informant in Brad Meltzer's first Justice League arc. Thus, I presume that he still has some appeal. What's more, he's one of the few super-criminals who actually has two criminal identities, having also caused trouble as the trick-arrow-shooting Blue Bowman. There's a Batman/Green Arrow/Two-Face story waiting to be written, I'm sure.
Not long after John Ostrander started writing Firestorm (in the late '80s), he included a Soviet citizen in the Firestorm matrix. Naturally, this took 'Stormy to the U.S.S.R., where he encountered the teen super-team Soyuz. Led by the psionic Firebird, Soyuz included the whirlwind Vikhor, the electricity-projecting Perun, the water-controlling Rusalka, and the cold-manipulating Morozko. They adopted secret identities for a very good reason: to hide from the KGB. A little better than amateurs, but definitely not pros, they had a certain charm; but they've since fallen between the cracks. Here's hoping some glasnost comes their way.
Batwoman wasn't the only character promised a big springboard in 52. Grant Morrison said he had big plans for Super-Chief, a Native American superhero; and sure enough, an updated Super-Chief appeared in 52 #24. The character's unfortunate death, also in that issue, seemed to preclude future appearances. However, Morrison told Newsarama that "[i]f there had been space in the last issue I would have included a coda to the Super-Chief story. I had plans for [his] return but we couldn't fit them in when issue #52 went from 52 pages to 40. I'm sure he'll turn up somewhere else."
Now, I have always been under the impression that Morrison was including Super-Chief in 52 at least in part because of the character's cheese value. It's not as if great cries were arising from the people for more Super-Chief. Still, if Morrison thinks the character's been shortchanged, maybe he's not gone for good.
Finally, I have tried to stay away from characters who are currently dead, because until I see how Blackest Night handles its body count I don't want to presume too much. This means I can end with Tomorrow Woman, who was brought back to life by semi-complicated means in Trinity. (The short version is that she comes from an alternate timeline where she never died.) TW started out as the android creation of Professor Ivo and T.O. Morrow, designed to destroy the Justice League from within; but during her brief stint as a Leaguer she rebelled against her programming and sacrificed herself in the process. Trinity's alternate timeline found her replacing Superman in Metropolis, even maintaining the secret identity of Clara Kendall, WGBS reporter. At the end of that series, the divinely-powered Trinitarians brought her into the restored timeline and made her human — but presumably with the "four-lobed mutant brain" which was part of the android's original cover story. After all that, it would be the height of irony for her to become a Black Lantern, so don't get any ideas, Johns! Might be nice to have "Tommie" help out the Birds of Prey, if she doesn't show up first in Justice League.
* * *
Just to be clear, I recognize that recycling old characters in hopes of making them "cool" is often a futile task, and it plays into fannish impulses which may well be tremendously unfulfilling. By no means am I saying that DC's professionals should stop creating new characters. Instead, it's more like reforestation: for every Bushido or Pantha cut down in a big fight scene, let's have a decent Signalman or Itty story. Pretty soon, your woods are nice and healthy again.
I think Marvel is similar only in the fact that if a character doesn't work, they forget about them. I would like to see some new characters at both of the biggies, new blood always helps.
No love for any Aztek successor.
And Moon Maiden. Can't forget JLA's missing member Moon Maiden, ret-conned into continuity in the same way as Marvel's Sentry; last appearance in a panel in the JLAvengers crossover.
I believe the Butcher was actually creator-owned by Mike Baron and Shea Anton Pensa (a rarity for a character in the DC Universe), so the chances of him showing up again are probably fairly slim.
Two words: Wild Dog
you should have mention swamp thing since he has not been seen after his last book endeded though Dc still has to find a way to get him out of the clutches of vertigo.
Itty vs. Mr. Mind — nuff said.
For me it's gotta be Zauriel. Number 2 is Resurrection Man. And also a new Aztek.
Zauriel and Resurrection Man would be great secondary members of the JLA. Aztek would be a fun member of any team.
Or put them all on one team, merge them with the remnants of the Seven Soldiers of Victory from Morrison's mini, and have an incredibly low selling but potentially awesome book.
Scare Tactics, The Ravers, Chase, and Xer0.
Believe that Faith was "killed" at the start of the current, Keith Giffen incarnation. A technicality, to be sure…
Love me some Soyuz! Thanks for bringing back so many good memories!
The Irredeemable Shag
Chase has been a supporting character for Manhunter.
I'm not sure where Bloodhound ever fit in. Scare Tactics and The Ravers should be hanging out together. And I think Xer0 was creator-owned.
This costume needs to be seen more often, at least. Team him with the Spook, and I can't get my money to someone fast enough!
The Android Hourman, Zauriel, Resurrection Man, the Global Guardians, and Artemis should be used as guest -stars. DC has so many characters tragically left to rot in obscurity and so many who are simply overused, i.e., Superboy-Prime.
I agree with Amethyst. I've always liked her.
Good article, Grumpy!
I always thought Alpha Centurion had some untapped potential. Given the popularity of movies like "Gladiator" and "300" i'm surprised no one's thought to dig him up.
Son of Vulcan would be cool too. the mini series a few years ago was pretty good, and i know he had a cameo in teen titans when they fought the "future titans." He might even make a good sidekick for the above mentioned Alpha Centurion!
Global Guardians has so many possibilities in this day and age, it seems like a no-brainer. I hoped their recent appearances in Green Lantern would lead to something.
Gotta second the love for Amethyst. Why DC hasn't reprinted her series or properly re-introduced her, I will never know. Amy Winston is awesome.
Wild Dog appeared recently in Booster Gold of all places.
I'm hoping to see more of "Tommie," too.
I LOVED Alpha-Centurion, and I agree, another powerful hero in Metropolis could be cool indeed. I was very pleased when they brought back Agent Liberty, and was disappointed that he got taken out so quickly – another character from the Weekly Superman era that I really liked, and could have stood to see more of.
I think Meltzer's take on Rocky Davis as the father confessor of the DCU from Last Will & Testament, and Giffen's picked it up in Doom Patrol. I think the role of the Challs are as the elder statesmen of the DCU, they guys you can go and get advice from about the actively weird crap. Prof Haley is and should be the Reed Richards of the DCU – he's certainly in that top ten smartest people of which Michael Holt is #8, and he's likely higher than Michael.
I've been saying that Amethyst could easily be a new property for young girls if they chose to bring her back to her roots, or a strong mystical character if they chose to stick with what they've done so far.
Of course, creating new characters would have the same effect as bringing back old and obscure ones – give new readers someone to get excited about. Both James Robinson and Grant Morrison have recently created a mess of new heroes from England and all over the world, characters that are somtimes nothing more than a name, but were interesting enough that I want to know more in a big way. With all the villains Grant created and referenced in the latest B&R, I'm amazed he didn't fold in Lord Marmaduke Fogg and Lady Peasoup.
I'd like to see Kole brought back, and re-united with the REAL Titans. It would be good to see Amethyst again as well – as long as they DON'T start up the Dark Opal war again.
I loved the Super-Chief part of 52 (especially the brief JLA membership…is it wrong that I looked forward to a Firestorm/Ambush Bug/Firehawk/Bulleteer/Super-Chief line-up than I have anything in the proper book) and hope that Morrison will bring him back at some point (or somebody will take a cue from Morrison).
I'd also be down for more Alpha Centurian and Tomorrow Woman.
Two notable (at least in my mind) exclusions: The Heckler and Argus, a New Blood character who I really dug during Waid's Flash run.
An itty like character appeared when Hal Jordan meets Larfleeze as, I'm guessing a homage. I think Larfleeze ate him.
didn't Black Lantern Super-Chief appear in the BN Weird Western Tales issue?
at some point, I'd like to see Tyler, the android Hourman make a full fledged return to the DCU.
"now that the dark period is apparently coming to a close,"
I'll believe it when I see it.
After all, it's people like Didio and Johns who are to blame, and I don't think they're going anywhere. And they already ran the "things are going to get less dark!" line by us once (back during Infinite Crisis.)
I also believe that Amethyst could be reinvented in a way that would appeal to female readers or fantasy-loving ones today. But they already screwed her *horribly* in her final issues and have no reason to believe they would handle her any better now, so I hope she remains in limbo.
I enjoyed Hero Hotline. I always thought it'd be interesting if Miss Terrific from that series turned out to be Roulette from the JSA series. I think JSA should pick up on this since writer Bob Rozakis intended the mysterious Coordinator to be Tex Thompson, though he didn't reveal this until 12 years after the fact.
I usually don't speak well of the 1990s in comics, but DC had an amazing number of interesting introductions from about 1997 on: Hourman III, Aztek, Resurrection Man, Walker Gabriel, Zauriel, Cameron Chase, Young Heroes in Love, Vext, Young Justice. That was a great time to be reading DC with solid JLA , JSA, and Flash books and great crossovers like DC one Million. It's shame that period seems to get ignored.
Now Carter, Barry, Ollie, and Hal are back and that period they were gone seems like a hiccup.
The Batman: The Brave and the Bold cartoon has used a huge number of obscure characters.
I always liked the third Atom (aka Adam Cray) who was Ray Palmer's hand-picked replacement. Cray recently turned up as a Black Lantern. Also: Whatever happened to the version of the Harlequin from Green Lantern Corps Quarterly who was set up as Alan Scott's nemesis, appeared six or seven times, and vanished? A slew of second drawer mystics haven't been seen in a while including Mr. E and Mark Merlin and space heroes like Star Hawkins and Chris KL99.
I'd enjoy seeing Agamemno (2000 Silver Age crossover) again. Here are a few characters I think have a lot of untapped potential: Carnivora (Power Girl), Chllier (Booster Gold), Damien Darhk (Titans), New Conglomerate (JLA- Qwardian duplicats of a few second stringers with cool designs), Moonman (Batman/Superman- ultra obscure but was in a c omic I bought for a quarter way back when), SKULL (Superman- where have they been? and their friends at SPIDER?), and Warlock of Ys (Green Lantern- I thought he was much better than a two panel brush off in JSA a few years ago).
This is the first time I have read Grumpy Old Man. Obscure superheros are a thing with me.For some reason, BACK IN THE DAY, there I said it in caps no less, I was always reading titles like Turok Son of Stone,Solar,Magnus and other Gold Key denizens over Superman,Batman and their related universes. I hope their Dark Horse reboots do them justice. I wasn't following comics during their stint with Valiant.When I did read DC I tended to follow Green Lantern and Flash until Fantastic Four, early X-Men,and early Spiderman came along.I think the main problem with reviving some of the older characters is both DC and Marvels obssesive need to drag older characters into the DCU and Marvel's current continuity whether they belong there or not .I mean with the current Red Circle/JSA team ups between Shield and Magog working quite nicely could we leave at that without Shield or Web becoming adjunct JSA'ers or Kid Magog joining Teen Titans? Bring them back in their own continuities First Wave style and leave it at that.Same thing with new characters. Do we really need the Milestone group grafted on to the sometimes not so greater DCU?
I believe Young Heroes in Love was creator-owned or something. An amazing series that I still feel nostalgic about! Amethyst was pretty good too, but she really works better in a series set in her own weirdly creepy high fantasy world than as just another mystical superheroine helping out the other DCU heroes.
Soyuz and Global Guardians, not so much potencial, IMO. What is it about international heroes in the DC Universe that makes them always bland, except when they're created AND written by Grant Morrison? To tell the truth, I don't really remember Soyuz very well, but since it's John Ostrander, then may be I should re-read.
I want some Triumph redemption….I loved the character, but hate that he turned evil…..
Also, some of the New Bloods would be nice, like Edge……He was pretty cool, but hardly ever seen again…Joe Public, Layla, and Loose Cannon need to comeback as well…
Air Wave – Harold Jordan, in the original green and yellow costume. I loved him back in the day as a back up feature in Action Comics and Green Lantern. I hated the yellow and blue Superfriends derivative costume they gave him prior to his death. Bring him back!
Faith has not necessarily died by Giffen – she simply disappeared with the gorilla. Giffen has said in Doom Patrol boards it is not the end of her story.
I forgot to mention The Extremists! I'm talking about the original, Bart Sears-designed version of the team. i don't know what they tried to do with them during Countdown, but i think it's safe to say that everything that happened in that story can be ignored.
I could have sworn I saw Amethyst in a BN issue somewhere. Triumph died when the Watchtower was destroyed by Superboy Prime. He didn't go evil, he just became maniacal and obsessed with his "destiny." Maybe he will return as a BL. Apparently in a recent BATB story it was revealed he had a son.
I'd like to see some reference to Moon Maiden but don't necessarily need her to return. The story that featured her wasn't all that great anyway.
Aztek, the new one, would be nice to have back. Liked Zaurel though I hate that new costume. Resurrection Man was cool and I've wondered how he plays into the Blackest Night story since he's died a million times.
Faith would be cool in a new group I think. Outsiders maybe. I wish Tomorrow Woman had stayed dead. If they acknowledge that the new one is an alternate-timeline version in-story I'd be good with that though.
Airwave maybe if he could be given the right role to play. I'm always about Snapper Carr though, wish DC could decide what to do with him. Last seen in the abysmal 52: 4 Horseman and mini-series and Final Crisis: Resist he was now a Checkmate agent though his characterization and (lack of) powers has been wildly inconsistent ever since he resurfaced for good back during the Hourman series in the late 90's.
That wasn't Faith who died in the newest Doom Patrol incarnation, it was Nudge, one of John Byrne's additions from the previous incarnation. Faith is presumably still out there, somewhere, doing who knows what.
I want to know what ever happened to Baby Boom, Kritter, and Penny Dreadful, the only members of Helix not to show up in any major way since the end of the first Infinity Inc's run. (Though frankly, given what James Robinson did to those he brought back in Cry for Justice…)
Since Loose Cannon was mentioned I won't do so again (oh, wait. I did.) I would like to see the return of Gunfire. He needs no weapon, he is a weapon.
It would also like to see the return of Thorn, she was last seen (by me) in the Superman titles of the 90s with her ankle wrapped.
I've thought for a long time that Amethyst would be perfect for a revival in a manga style–she was probably the first "magical girl" that a lot of us here in the states encountered, long before anything significant of that genre of manga/anime hit the U.S.
But personally, I'd settle for her original maxi-series being reprinted in a nice trade collection. I've been making an effort to give the gift of comics to my friends' children for birthdays and Christmas, and Amethyst would be an excellent candidate, but picking the series up as back issues would be a tad pricey.
There's a gorgeous pic of Amethyst over on Colleen Doran's blog. I know who I'd like to see drawing that book.
I believe Gunfire was killed of by Prometheus also in the Faces of Evil issue (along with Anima- whose been killed 3 times I think.)
Actually you can find the Amethyst issues for pretty cheap online if you know where to look. I'd recommend Comiccollectorlive.com which is where I got the majority of them for less than a $1 each.
As far as obscure charecters go I'd like to see a new NuLL and Void (The originals appeared in Worlds Finest Comics- and the new ones could be their kids or grandkids even.)
I'll absolutely put in another vote for Amethyst.
As long as they don't try to make her into a villain again, as they did with a few of her 90's appearances. =(
Anyone who knows me knows I'm a HUGE Tomorrow Woman fan. After Trinity she only made a small appearance is JLA vs Kobra 3 as Clara Kendall making a news report.
Plenty of characters should make a comeback like the remaining Bloodlines characters, like Mirage and Sparx.
And I too think Triumph should be brought back he's one of the most tragic DC characters I can think of. He's like Barry Allen in that he saved the day and Earth but nobody cares about him.
Bring back the Team Titans too, I loved them! And Power Company.
Instead if Soyuz, could you not bring back Stalnoivolk, the Steel Wolf? He was awesome in Suicide Squad.
Some others I would love to see are the Black Pirate, Black Orchid, Chase, Chronos (Gabriel Walker), The Heckler, Hourman III, The Body Doubles, Resurrection Man and the Man called Nevermore (you can't get more obscure than him) !
I can't believe people are nostalgic for the Bloodlines characters. Except for Hitman, they're all dreadful examples of the worst the 90s has to offer. Let them remain forgotten.
Most of the other characters mentioned have potential.
I always liked Razorsharp from the Bloodlines characters.
What about EVERY character from Major Bummer?
Hell yeah! I just couldn't BELIEVE that no one (until Brett, above) suggested MAJOR BUMMER!
… Especially with all the late-'90s-DC love being dished out here.
I loved the Young Heroes in Love, but I don't think they'd work for a comeback. I doubt the essential tone of the series could be recaptured.
On the other hand, I'd just about kill for some new CHASE stories. Most especially by the original creative team of Dan Curtis Johnson and a little-known-at-the-time artist… J.H. Williams III.

What do the columns that are not shown by default in the XP Task Manager do? Specifically the VM Size, Page Faults and Mem Delta columns
VM Size (from What does "VM Size" mean in the Windows Task Manager?)
This is the portion of the virtual address space a process allocates that is not shared with any other process. (It has nothing to do with the the physical, or RAM, usage.) Processes also allocate shared v.a.s.; shared v.a.s. is not included in this counter.
Further reading material: An introductory guide to Windows Memory Management
Page Fault (from Wikipedia)
This is saying that whenever a program accesses something that is not in the real physical memory, a page fault occurs. The page has to be loaded from "backing store" (the pagefile, or for shared pages, a mapped file), which takes a very long time compared to pages that don't incur a page fault. HOWEVER: There are also "soft" or "in-memory" page faults. Windows maintains a cache (the standby page list + modified page list) of RAM pages that are not in any process working set (and so will incur a page fault if accessed) but have not yet been assigned to some other use. Page faults to these pages can be resolved without disk I/O. This still takes longer than if no page fault had occurred but is far faster than a "hard" page fault (one that requires disk reads).
Page faults are very common because the RAM can't keep everything. And in most workloads, most of them are "soft" page faults, which are resolved very quickly.

Could Light Bulbs Soon Fight Jet Lag?01/04/2016
Did you know that most white LEDs are not actually white? It's actually an optical illusion created by using a blue diode with a small amount of yellow light on the tip. These colours complement one another within the light spectrum and seeing them together tricks your brain into believing that it is white light.Read More »

LED, or Light Emitting Diode is the term used to describe a semiconductor diode that emits light once an electrical current passes through it. In lighting, LED Light Bulbs are a leading energy saving alternative to conventional Halogen or Incandescent Lamps.
Replacing wattage as the standard unit of brightness, Lumens is a new measure introduced with the arrival of energy saving and LED Light Bulbs. This was due to these types of bulbs being able to emit the same amount of light as conventional equivalents, with a greatly reduced power consumption.
Kelvin is a term used to describe the colour temperature, often displayed as just the letter K. Some common colour temperatures are 2700K, 3000K and 6500K, which relate to Very Warm White, Warm White and Daylight Light Bulbs.
An initialism for Surface Mounted Diode, SMD refers to mounted LED chips on PCB (Printed Circuit Board). Surface Mounted LED's were one of the first iterations of LED Light Bulbs.
Colour Temperature
Colour temperature, sometimes refered to as CCT (correlated colour temperature), is simply a method of describing the colour characteristics of a light bulb. Colour temperatures range from low (warm/yellowish) type colours all the way up to high (white/bluish) light.
Colour temperature is measured in "Kelvin" which is explained in more detail below. More information can be found on our colour temperatures example page.
G4 is a type of lamp base that has two small pins 4mm apart, originally developed for halogen capsule lamps, and also in recently released in versions of led G4 capsule lamps
G9 is a type of lamp base that has two small pins or loops of wire 9mm apart originally developed for Halogen Capsule Lamps and now also found on LED G9 Capsule Lamps.
A socket is a hollow object that is used to contain the light bulb base. Sockets are connected to the electrical supply to transfer the power to the base. There are many types of bases in circulation, some of the most popular include Bayonet, Screw In and GU10s.
Voltage is the measurement of electrical potential. The majority of light bulbs in the UK run on 220-240 volts.
It is important to keep in mind that some light fittings/light bulbs require a low voltage source, therefore a transformer would be required to "step" down the volts.
Brightness is the term used to describe the effect of luminance on an observer. The maximum brightness is said to be found in Pure White whilst the minimum is expected to be found in Pure Black.
Instant Start
Instant Start is the term used to describe the instantaneous ignition of a light bulb. The term can be used in reference to Control Gear and LED Light Bulbs.

Dave1 Stars Out Of 5Very disappointingApril 1, 2015DaveQuality: 1Value: 1Meets Expectations: 1This Bible, along with the Owl Bible, was bought with the intention of presenting them to my grandson and granddaughter on Easter Sunday. Neither is suitable due to the microscopic print and this Bible is undiscernible, even with a magnifying glass.
I feel very much cheated and am extremely disappointed that CBD would even offer products as useless as these. It is now too late to replace these gifts but I will be showing these to other members of our congregation as a warning against trusting items from CBD just because we've received quality products in the past.

Skydiver Successfully Leaps From Record Altitude
Sunday, Austrian pilot Felix Baumgartner landed safely on Earth after jumping 24 miles for just over nine minutes from the stratosphere. He lept from the highest altitude ever for a skydiver.
This is WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Celeste Headlee. Earlier today, professional thrill seeker Felix Baumgartner set a new record for the highest skydiving jump and became the first to break the sound barrier on a jump. Standing on a narrow step more than 24 miles above the Earth and breathing heavily, Baumgartner had a few last words.
FELIX BAUMGARTNER: The whole world is watching now. Sometimes, you have to get up really high to see how small you are. I'm going over now.
HEADLEE: Sometimes you have to get up really high to see how small you are, he says, I'm going over now. And the whole world was watching. More than 7.1 million people tuned in on YouTube. That's more than 10 times the previous YouTube streaming record. Earlier this year on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, Baumgartner explained what super high jumps feel like.
BAUMGARTNER: In freefall, you don't really have any sensation of speed at all because you don't have reference points. Nothing is passing by. So it pretty much feels like a normal skydive, which is the sad part of it. Speed 600 miles per hour.
HEADLEE: After more than nine minutes and 128,000 feet, he landed safely.

Description: This is the latest edition of the multivolume plastic surgery textbook first edited by John M. Converse in 1964. Subsequent editions have been edited by Converse in 1977, Joseph G. McCarthy (with the title change to the current one) in 1990, and Stephen J. Mathes in 2006. Dr. Peter Neligan, the primary editor of the current edition, relies heavily on volume editors for each of the six volumes.
Purpose: Through the decades, this has remained the gold standard in plastic surgery textbooks. I have always had the most recent edition close to my desk and have used it as an initial reference when I have needed to review a topic. I will continue to use this edition in the same manner.
Audience: Plastic surgeons at all stages in their careers can benefit from this book. Students and residents can use it to gather essential information related to patient problems or in preparation for presentations on plastic surgery topics. Plastic surgery residents would be well served to read the entire book during the course of their residency to get a basic foundation of knowledge in the field. Established practitioners can use it to review problems they treat infrequently.
Features: The way topics are broken down for presentation is somewhat different than in previous editions. Some topics have been dropped, while newer areas such as hand and face transplantation are addressed. Volume 1, edited by Dr. Geoffrey Gurtner, covers principles; volume 2, edited by Dr. Richard Warren, is devoted to aesthetic surgery; volume 3, edited by Drs. Eduardo Rodriguez and Joseph Losee, combines craniofacial and head and neck surgery with pediatric surgery; volume 4, edited by Dr. David Song, concentrates on the lower extremity, trunk, and burns; volume 5, edited by Dr. James Grotting, covers the breast; and volume 6, edited by Dr. James Chang, focuses on the hand and upper extremity. The coverage of plastic surgery topics remains encyclopedic, and all of the authors are recognized experts in their subject areas.
Assessment: This edition demonstrates a number of differences from prior editions. The books themselves are slightly larger, and the majority of the photographs and patient diagrams are now in color. The art work is done in a uniform style and is of high quality. Each chapter has only selected references at the end, with the remainder, as well as additional content plus videos, available from the complementary online version available to purchasers of the print version. This edition incorporates changes consistent with our digital age, while maintaining the excellent content that has been the hallmark of this book throughout the years.

Hi - I'm considering migrating from MT to WordPress, but I'm hesitant to trust a PHP script. Although a rebuild may take a long time, at least it's not being executed constantly, creating what can often become an unacceptable strain on the server - with new, un-necessary calls to PHP and the database with every page load.
Now all of this really is technobabble to me - and what I just stated may be completely wrong.
But I'm very worried that, should I start creating PHP pages for clients, that I'm going to be inundated with complaints about load times. HTML pages, of course, load immediately. And I've always noticed at least a SLIGHT delay with PHP.
At any rate, I had heard that these problems could be minimized with "caching". I have no idea what that means.
But does WordPress employ caching, to lighten the load on the server?
To keep my costs down, I've chosen ixwebhosting.com - I basically got 30 domains for $60/mo - which puts more money in my pocket for every client. BUT... Having recently placed a pro bono Mambo installation on that server, I noticed some rather disappointing load times. And they were very highly ranked, at least last year.
So can any of you gurus give me a little peace of mind on this? While I can see the benefit of using a dynamic script like WordPress, I'm scared to death of facing an onslaught of complaints from clients when they type in their web address - and they have to wait 10 seconds before anything appears.
Thanks for any and all info. I REALLY want to jump in and start trusting PHP again, but I've had some very bad experiences in the past. And given I'm well aware that the server I'm using is probably stressed as it is (read CHEAP), I'm worried that I could face a major fiasco.

Sony Pictures and Escape Artists appear to be closing in on a director for their long-developing reboot of Masters of the Universe.
TheWrap reports the studio has narrowed the list of potential replacements for Jon M. Chu to just three candidates: Harald Zwart (The Karate Kid, Mortal Instruments: City of Bones), Chris McKay (The LEGO Movie editor) and Mike Cahill (Another Earth).
In development since at least 2003, the film is of course based on the popular Mattel toy line that's served as a springboard for animated television series, comic books and the 1987 big-screen Dolph Lundgren vehicle.
Terry Rossio (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lone Ranger) wrote the most recent script.
Masters of the Universe was released in "1987." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093507/
I totally clicked on this article just to see that sweet toy poster.
Ah, memories!
Not familiar with any of them, but I'm just thankful Jon Chu is no longer involved after he ruined G.I. Joe.
Unfortunately, though, that movie sucked. Frank Langella and Dolph Lungren were well cast, though.

Police: Man left scene of two crashes in two weeksMarch 28,2014Police: Man left
scene of 2 crashes
BENNINGTON A local man is facing two sets of criminal charges which accuse him of leaving the scene of an accident that caused property damage on Feb. 7 and then again on Feb. 20.
Charles T. Batease, 46, of Bennington, pleaded innocent to all the charges on Monday in Bennington criminal court. In both cases, he was charged with leaving the scene of an accident and in one of the cases he was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.
In the Feb. 7 incident, police said Bateases truck was found abandoned on Route 279. The truck had apparently hit a highway sign and ripped it off its post.
Police said they tried to contact Batease on Feb. 7 and he didnt return the call until Feb. 8. According to police, Batease said he lost control of his truck around 11:15 p.m. on Feb. 7 because the drivers side tie rod broke.
The Feb. 20 incident also allegedly took place around 11:30 p.m. and also involved Batease allegedly leaving his truck after a crash. Police said the crash took place on Mechanic Street and that the truck hit a few mailboxes before being left in a ditch.
Police said Batease told them on Feb. 21 that he crashed because something broke on his truck.
Batease was released after his arraignment but he is under a court order that does not allow him to drive.MORE IN This Just In

Earth's third largest island is Borneo. It is exceeded in size only by Greenland and New Guinea. Like them it is thinly populated. Its mountainous interior is covered with tangled rainforest populated chiefly by aboriginal Dayaks, who at one time excelled as headhunters in intertribal warfare. The coastal lowlands, which contain towns and plantations, are also thinly settled and developed. Vast stretches are uninhabitable swamp. Much of the soil is infertile because of the heavy rains, which leach away plant nutrients. Oil wells are the chief source of wealth.

Usually banks and CUs will credit your payment on the day they receive it, so I'm guessing they'll credit you as paying on Jan 22.
As far as whether they include holidays in the total day count from month to month, I believe that they are counted. Usually 30 days late means 30 calendar days, not 30 business days. But I'd go ahead and call in as suggested to plead your case for them not reporting you as late and not charging late fees.

AUSTIN - Legislation endorsed Wednesday by the Senate Education Committee would make it easier for a student to transfer to another school to get away from a tormenter.
The bill by Sen. Teel Bivins, R-Amarillo, would provide two options for a student who has been sexually or physically assaulted or abducted by a classmate and doesn't want to be forced to attend school with that individual.
Such situations probably don't occur often in the state but could be a problem in small school districts, Bivins said.
"When it does happen, and the victim doesn't have any means to avoid the offender, we need to provide a mechanism for those kids," he said.
Under his bill, the student may request the school board to ensure that he or she isn't assigned to the same campus, transportation route or extracurricular activity as the offender.
If the board can't comply with the request, the student can transfer to another district that would be entitled to additional funding.
David Anderson, chief lawyer for the Texas Education Agency, said the receiving district would receive about 10 percent more money - roughly about $400 more per year - to educate the transfer student than it receives for any other student.
Bivins said the bill was prompted by a situation last fall in the Alvin Independent School District, located in the Houston area.
A 16-year-old convicted sex offender was allowed to enroll at Alvin's only high school despite criticism by the mother of one of his victims. School officials said they had to allow the youth to enroll at the high school because state law prohibited them from expelling him after he completed his time in an alternative education program.
Alvin Superintendent Virgil Tiemann appeared before the education panel to support Bivins' bill, which he said "appears to provide options that are friendly to the victim and beneficial to the districts that face this situation."
The panel endorsed another bill sponsored by Bivins that would authorize school districts to expel students who assault and injure school employees and volunteers. Districts currently can expel a student who uses a weapon to assault a teacher or other school employee or causes the victim serious bodily harm.
Both bills now go to the full Senate for a vote.

text: 000 FXUS63 KLSX 202047 AFDLSX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Saint Louis MO 347 PM CDT WED JUL 20 2016 .SHORT TERM... (Through Thursday) Issued at 344 PM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 Main issue across the area continues to be the heat wave over the area. The storms responsible for flash flooding in IL this morning faded away just after 1pm. These storms pushed outflow boundaries which are noted on radar and satellite pushing southwest into central missouri. There is a stationary boundary just north of farmington and just south of columbia. This boundary along with outflow boundaries could kick off a few isolated showers and thunderstorms early this evening. There could be some fog in areas that received heavy rainfall earlier today. This will be dependent on clearing as light southernly winds are forecast for tonight into tomorrow. The day tomorrow continues the heat wave with temperatures in the upper 90s in most areas. The exception for temperatures will be the ozarks and northeastern missouri and western illinois which will see mid 90s. The only area that may see a few isolated showers and thunderstorms would be south of a Belleview to Fredricktown line. The rest of the area will likely be capped due to higher H7 temperatures. Kelly .LONG TERM... (Thursday Night through Next Wednesday) Issued at 344 PM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 Hot and humid weather pattern will continue into the weekend due to a large and strong upper level ridge centered over the southern Plains, along with persistent south or southwest surface winds on the backside of a surface ridge southeast of our area. The ECMWF and NAM models try to bring a little convection southward into northeast MO and west central IL late Thursday night or Friday south of a weakening front. Will just include slight chance pops over this area on Friday. More significant will be the unseasonably hot temperatures expected for Friday, possibly topping out near the century mark. May get some convection Friday night mainly across west central and southwest IL on the edge of the cap as shortwaves continue to overtop the upper level ridge. Should get more shower and thunderstorm activity by Sunday as the upper level ridge begins to flatten, the atmosphere over us gets more uncapped, and a cold front drops southeastward through our area Sunday afternoon and night as an upper level trough moves eastward through the northern Plains and Great Lakes region. Daytime highs should be at least slightly cooler across northeast MO and west central IL Sunday and the entire area on Monday, close to seasonal normals. Will keep the excessive heat warning going through Saturday for the entire area. Depending on the timing of the front and the amount of cloud cover and convection expected on Sunday, the warning may need to be extended into Sunday for the southern or southeastern portion of the forecast area. Most of the convection may shift south of the forecast area by Monday night, then the threat for precipitation will return Tuesday night or Wednesday ahead of an approaching upper level trough moving through the Plains. GKS && .AVIATION... (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Thursday Afternoon) Issued at 1224 PM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 A stationary boundary draped to the north of FAM and south of COU may be the focus of isolated showers and thunderstorm late this afternoon and early this evening. There could be some fog late tonight and early tomorrow mainly east of the mississipi river...but it is unclear if the area will clear out or not tonight. Otherwise...the rest of the period will be dry with VFR ceilings and light southernly flow. Specifics for KSTL: A dispating outflow boundary to the northeast of the terminal may provide the focus of isolated showers and thunderstorms late this afernoon and early evening...but confidence is too low to include in TAF. Otherwise...the rest of the period will be dry with VFR ceilings and light southernly flow. Kelly && .LSX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
