When my daughter reads my articles she often comments, after laughing aloud, that she pictures many of my words as political cartoons. So, draw this Al Gonzales drama as political cartoon. He would be the lapdog (bulldog face) of the president with Rove in the room as dog trainer. On the floor would be a newspaper that looks like the U.S. Constitution in newsprint. I would love to picture Karl Rove teaching Bush to train Gonzales as the alpha male and how to use newspaper as both a discipline tool and a place for the dog to relieve himself, shall we say.
The only problem—the dog trainer failed to teach the new dog owner how to use the Constitution—I mean newspaper. Naturally, the use of paper is nothing new to dog owners. And the tricks that were taught to Gonzales were not new. Title III, from 1986, was in place long before the Patriot Act merely expanded executive power. The criminal list and the statutes for which wiretaps can be ordered were broadened. This means surveillance can be done in real time on virtual electronic devices including cellular phones. The president, since 1968, could wiretap without first obtaining a warrant. But Gonzales wanted to go into homes without first wiping his paws on the welcome mat. His handiwork violated (to a point) both in letter and essence the Constitution as written.
The official biography for Alberto Gonzales', Bush's longtime Texas buddy, cites February 2005 as the beginning of his term as AG. Yet he worked hard grab power and put it into play for his master before his time in the White House too. Many in the know are saying that he was flat-out fired. Why would the son of a sharecropper, living the American dream, want to leave? Who quits a job like that without pressure in less than three years? What, 2.5 years. You mean he did all that damage in less than three years? Rethink the timeline. If you subtract the last six months when the calls really began for his resignation, including from this writer, from the 2.5 years since appointment, then he began making a mess in the Oval Office after only his first year as AG.
Failing to get the nod for a Supreme Court seat after six months as Attorney General, he remained AG. As a man of 49 he would have been on the court for decades! It is that very reason he was not confirmed. I hope that the American public never forgets that Alberto "Okay to torture" Gonzales did not become a member of the Supreme Court for making torture in prison look lovely. The hearings crushed any hopes that he or Bush had of seeing him permanently seated on the Court. Wow, America dodged a big bullet. We would all have to move to Mexico.
What I really want to know is will the Democrats pursue the legal case against him? I hate to predict that they will not go after him. On August 13th I wrote "Rove Resigns, Bush Quips," and predicted a Gonzales resignation nicely:
Who will replace Karl Rove? He has left a vast political void, and a brain drain for Bush. Without a doubt, the news of Rove's resignation will resonate on the Hill. The obvious question: how does this bode for Alberto Gonzales? Will Gonzales be the straw man left holding the bag of kryptonite? I predict he too will return to Texas, via resignation.
His actual date of resignation (September 17th) puts his leaving at exactly one month after Rove resignation. Bush lamented that AG's "good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons." Huh? I think he dragged the AG office through the mud. And even his boss of 13 years could no longer afford to feed him. It is clear that Bush needed Gonzales gone. Bush-bloggers and political pundits have been shouting "Get Gonzales Gone," now for months. That dog would not hunt six months ago. But it's hunting now for a replacement. It is about time.Powered by Sidelines

There are several obstacles to enjoying this account of the Viner family's attempts to settle in rural north Herefordshire after relocating from London's Crouch End. To begin with, there's the ghastly punning title, which looms at you like something nasty from the 1970s. After that there's the first anecdote about "an attractive strawberry blonde of indeterminate years" who turns out to be a scarecrow; a patrician little tale that reminds readers how "Best Scarecrow competitions... or Dog with the Waggiest Tail competitions, are taken with deadly seriousness in the country". Finally, there's the grasping zaniness. Chapter two starts: "Whether the doctor and nurses had caught a whiff of my aloe-scented scrotum or not, I must say that when I started writing this book, I didn't expect to embark quite so soon on the story of my snip in Llandrindod Wells."
If these things don't put you off you may, like Michael Palin (quoted on the back), find there's "not a single dull page". On the other hand, you may wonder if Mr Palin was talking about the brightness of the paper.

Control "Fox "have seen the film, and in 1995 Brian Grady(born . Brian Graden) commissioned Parker and Stone to create a second short film, in order to send it to friends as a video Christmas card. Cartoon titled "The Spirit of Christmas "contains scenes melee duel between Jesus and Santa Claus. (Later this was used in the video clip show, in an episode of "very shitty Christmas. "), movies quickly became a hit and was widespread, including through the Internet . This led to a discussion of the idea of creation of the series – first with Fox, then with Comedy Central, where the August 13, 1997 and premiered. The first series called "Cartman and an Anal Probe ". It was converted from the pilot episode, which was released later on DVD.

For Halloween, Five Creepy Music Videos (Some For Unintentional Reasons)
Jan Terri, "Get Down Goblin"
In the Eighties and Nineties, Jan Terri was a limousine driver who became a cult sensation in her hometown of Chicago for her self-produced albums and music videos. As naive and zero budget as they are, Terri's pluck, tenacity, and particular, uh, aesthetic, actually scored her a fan in Marilyn Manson, who once tapped her to open a gig. "Get Down Goblin," her tribute to Halloween, is probably the most famous of her videos. But those interested in the Terri oeuvre must absolutely also check out "Losing You" and "Baby Blues."
Bonnie Tyler, "Total Eclipse of the Heart"
It's no surprise that the Eighties were the heyday for over-plotted, surreally creepy videos. Here, being in love apparently means being trapped in an abandoned church/mansion, in which a bat-angel boy releases doves, a swim team in goggles gets doused with mystery water, and ninjas -- ninjas! -- practice their moves before zombie motorcycle thugs invade.

Is Police Commissioner Ray Kelly really going to close the Joint Bank Robbery Task Force, as he has threatened?
He appears to be hesitating.
Pulling the NYPD's six detectives from the task force may seem minor.
But beneath the surface, the matter is fraught with significance.
In high-level law enforcement -- where obfuscating, and even dissembling, are a way of doing business -- symbols can be more important than numbers and statistics.
And the Joint Bank Robbery Task Force, which is comprised of FBI agents and NYPD detectives, is a symbol.
Until the task force was formed in 1979, both the FBI and NYPD -- agencies long at odds -- had jurisdiction over all bank robberies.
Until then, the FBI patronized local police agencies, including the corruption-prone NYPD, which the Bureau considered an untrustworthy partner. Feuds and rivalries complicated their bank robbery investigations.
In the spirit of law enforcement cooperation, the Joint Bank Robbery Task Force was created to handle armed bank robberies. The NYPD's Major Case Squad took over the less serious "note jobs."
The task force proved so successful that it became a symbol of cooperation between the FBI and the NYPD.
It became the model for the Joint Terrorism Task Force, formed a year later, which is also comprised of NYPD detectives and FBI agents. That, in turn, became the model for joint FBI and police terrorism task forces across the country.
Such local and federal cooperation has a special resonance in New York City, which is the nation's primary terrorist target.
You might think that under these circumstances, it would be a good idea for the NYPD to make nice with the FBI. Instead, since becoming police commissioner in 2002, Commissioner Kelly has gone out of his way to disparage the Bureau.
He has repeatedly criticized the FBI for failing to prevent the World Trade Center attacks and a decade later continues to go his own way.
With this stance, he has cultivated an image as the nation's premier terrorism fighter.
Last month, a National Geographic television special, Counter-Terror NYC, showcased NYPD sniper teams carrying assault weapons at high-profile events to guard against terrorists and showed an NYPD high-tech patrol boat with a radiation detector to spot a dirty bomb.
Last week, a group called the National Committee on American Foreign Policy presented Kelly with an award for creating the country's first counter-terrorism bureau for a municipal police department.
Neither National Geographic nor the Foreign Policy Committee addressed the fact that Kelly goes out of his way to antagonize the FBI and other government agencies fighting terrorism and that his actions often contradict sensible policy.
His much-herald stationing of NYPD detectives overseas was a direct slap at the Bureau, which has "legates," or legal attaches, in many of the same overseas countries.
Other actions calculated to upset the FBI:
... Sending NYPD detectives on out of state, anti-terrorism forays without alerting the Bureau, which has national jurisdiction in such matters.
... Dispatching NYPD detectives across the country, supposedly for "national security," to spy on protestors planning to demonstrate at the 2004 Republican National Convention at Madison Square Garden -- also without informing the Bureau.
Despite these slights, FBI leaders seem to have bent over backwards so as not to antagonize Kelly.
Mark Mershon, who headed the FBI's New York office from 2005-2008, explained shortly after arriving in the city that his first priority was to get along with Kelly.
In an unprecedented Bureau move, Mershon's successor, Joe Demarest, was hired from retirement, at least in part because of his positive relationship with Kelly.
You can have all the high-tech gadgetry in the world. You can station detectives from the North Pole to Antarctica. But if you refuse to cooperate with the agencies helping you and insist on going it alone to fight terrorism, what's the point of it all?
Once again, we return to the most dangerous example of law enforcement dysfunction: how Kelly and the NYPD nearly torpedoed the FBI's case against Najibullah Zazi, the Denver airport driver who in 2009 planned to detonate bombs in the city's subways -- the most serious terrorism threat against New Yorkers since 911.
While the FBI, with NYPD detectives from the Joint Terrorist Task Force, tracked Zazi as he drove to New York, Kelly and Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence David Cohen had another detective from Cohen's Intelligence Division reach out to one of the department's own informants about Zazi.
That informant tipped off Zazi who cut short his trip to New York and returned to Denver.
The FBI -- which, thankfully, had wiretaps placed on the phones of Zazi's father, whom the informant warned about the NYPD's visit -- was forced to scramble and arrest Zazi prematurely before the full dimensions of his plot were discovered.
Now here's the issue: Did the NYPD commit an honest mistake in contacting its own informant?
It doesn't appear so. The tip-off is that neither Kelly nor Cohen informed the Bureau before or after contacting him.
One can only conclude that Kelly, once again, sought to appear as the nation's premier terrorism fighter. In so doing, he inadvertently sabotaged the FBI's investigation.
Yet to this day, there has been no public accounting.
FBI Director Robert Mueller has never publicly raised questions about Kelly's tactics in the Zazi case.
Even President Obama got in on the act. Three months after the incident, he called Kelly at Police Plaza to congratulate him and the NYPD for its work on the Zazi case.
As we said, high-level law enforcement's modus operandi is often to obfuscate and dissemble. The loser, of course, is the citizenry.
Now against this friction with the FBI, Kelly's threat to end the Bank Robbery Task Force enfolds as yet another slap at the Bureau.
Kelly has justified pulling the detectives by citing statistics. He has said that the number of armed bank robbery cases last year -- 26 -- was the lowest in the unit's history [although the number has spiked this year] and says that with 6,000 fewer officers than a decade ago, the detectives can be better used elsewhere.
Others add that the department's head count has fallen by 6,000 in the past decade, with another 1,000 officers assigned to fighting terrorism.
Kelly originally set Feb. 28 as the date to remove the detectives. That date passed a week ago.
Last Friday afternoon, he met with the FBI's New York head, Janet Fedarcyk. The meeting was held at Police Plaza, not at the FBI's offices at 26 Federal Plaza, where Kelly has not been seen in years.
Numerically, statistically, Kelly's reasons for pulling the detectives may seem valid.
But perhaps recognizing that symbolism can trump numbers and statistics, he has yet to pull the trigger.
A BUMP, NOT A DUMP. A reader points out that Captain Ronald Haas -- who's known for torturing his subordinates -- was not "bounced" as commanding officer of the Manhattan's D.A. squad, as this column reported last week. Rather, Haas was transferred to Manhattan Detectives. In the reader's words, it was "a bump, not a dump."

Apache MetaModel, Drill Graduate From Incubator
The Apache Software Foundation graduated its MetaModel and Drill projects from the organization's incubator to become Top-Level Projects.The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has made its Apache MetaModel data access framework a Top-Level Project (TLP) at the organization. Apache MetaModel graduated from the Apache Incubator to become a TLP, signifying a level of maturity of the project. MetaModel gets its name from being a model for interacting with data based on metadata, enabling developers to go above the physical data layer and apply their application to just about any data. Apache MetaModel is a data access framework that provides a common interface for the discovery, exploration, and querying of different types of data sources. Unlike traditional mapping frameworks, MetaModel emphasizes metadata of the data source itself and the ability to add more data sources at runtime. MetaModel's schema model and SQL-like query API is applicable to databases, CSV files, Excel spreadsheets, NoSQL databases, Cloud-based business applications, and even regular Java objects. This level of abstraction makes MetaModel great for dynamic data processing applications, less so for applications modeled strictly around a particular domain, ASF officials said. "MetaModel enables you to consolidate code and consolidate data a lot quicker than any other library out there," said Kasper Sorensen, vice president of Apache MetaModel, in a statement. "In these 'big data days' there's a lot of focus on performance and scalability, and surely these topics also surround Apache MetaModel. The big data challenge is not always about massive loads of data, but instead massive variation and feeding a lot of different sources into a single application. Now to make such an application you both need a lot of connectivity capabilities and a lot of modeling flexibility. Those are the two aspects where Apache MetaModel shines. We make it possible for you to build applications that retain the complexity of your data – even if that complexity may change over time. The trick to achieve this is to model on the metadata and not on your assumptions."
David Morales, a big data architect at Stratio, said Apache MetaModel is a key technology in Stratio Datavis, allowing Stratio developers to manage metadata and create SQL-based connectors for a variety of data stores. "Thanks to Apache MetaModel, Datavis users can create beautiful dashboards using their SQL skills, instead of knowing several query languages," Morales said.

Lung Disease & Respiratory Health Center
Obstructive and Restrictive Lung Disease
In this article
Doctors may classify lung conditions as obstructive lung disease or restrictive lung disease. Obstructive lung diseases include conditions that make it hard to exhale all the air in the lungs. People with restrictive lung disease have difficulty fully expanding their lungs with air.
Obstructive and restrictive lung disease share the same main symptom: shortness of breath with exertion.
Recommended Related to Lung Disease/Respiratory Problems
Diagnosing Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Shortness of breath is one of the telltale signs of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, but it's also a symptom of lots of other conditions. Your doctor may suggest several tests that can help confirm a diagnosis of IPF, which is brought on by scarring in your lungs.
Read the Diagnosing Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis article > >
What Is Obstructive Lung Disease?
People with obstructive lung disease have shortness of breath due to difficulty exhaling all the air from the lungs. Because of damage to the lungs or narrowing of the airways inside the lungs, exhaled air comes out more slowly than normal. At the end of a full exhalation, an abnormally high amount of air may still linger in the lungs.
The most common causes of obstructive lung disease are:
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis
- Asthma
- Bronchiectasis
- Cystic fibrosis
Obstructive lung disease makes it harder to breathe, especially during increased activity or exertion. As the rate of breathing increases, there is less time to breathe all the air out before the next inhalation.
What Is Restrictive Lung Disease?
People with restrictive lung disease cannot fully fill their lungs with air. Their lungs are restricted from fully expanding.
Restrictive lung disease most often results from a condition causing stiffness in the lungs themselves. In other cases, stiffness of the chest wall, weak muscles, or damaged nerves may cause the restriction in lung expansion.
Some conditions causing restrictive lung disease are:
- Interstitial lung disease, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
- Sarcoidosis, an autoimmune disease
- Obesity, including obesity hypoventilation syndrome
- Scoliosis
- Neuromuscular disease, such as muscular dystrophy or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
Diagnosis of Obstructive Lung Disease and Restrictive Lung Disease
Most commonly, people with obstructive or restrictive lung disease seek a doctor because they feel short of breath.
Restrictive and obstructive lung diseases are identified using pulmonary function tests. In pulmonary function testing, a person blows air forcefully through a mouthpiece. As the person performs various breathing maneuvers, a machine records the volume and flow of air through the lungs. Pulmonary function testing can identify the presence of obstructive lung disease or restrictive lung disease, as well as their severity.

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author S.E. Smith brings another adventure filled with action, suspense, and a love worth fighting for.
Sometimes life begins after you die. At least it has for Lily O'Donnell. Lily O'Donnell had always wanted to find a love as beautiful as her parents had. When her father suspiciously dies in an accident and her mother is brutally raped and murdered, Lily has to fight for her life. When she is trapped by the man who murdered both her parents and threatens to do to her what he did to her mother, Lily feels she has only one choice to avoid a fate worse than death.
Reborn to help others, Lily reappears time after time to help families in need, only to die again once the families no longer need her. Things change when Maggie Cunnings finally has enough of her three nephews' attitudes. Wanting to go home to sunny Florida and leave the frigid winters of Wyoming behind, Maggie prays for a little help in teaching the Cunnings brothers how to live and love again. The Cunnings men aren't the easiest to get along with; they've gone through six housekeepers in as many months. When Maggie hires Lily to be their new housekeeper, sparks fly as the brothers and Lily learn that living and loving sometimes comes with no guarantees.
When a madman targets Lily, believing she has the knowledge to make him an immortal, the men have to come together as a family to help save the woman they love. Will they be able to save her and make her theirs, or will she once again be taken away?

Over 60 years old. Still working in the same company for 42 years. Love listening to books.
"Wow! Three Brothers - Three Lovers?"
Yes, it was different. Not sure I would listen to it again. A four-some is not my cup of tea. Although the story line was a great concept.
Oh I always will read her books. It just happened that I really don't care for 1 woman and 3 men relationships.
I think at the end when she came back and met the first brother at the barn.
No, it really didn't. The storyline was great - just not my cup of tea.
"Three could be fun"
It is hard to say if you would have more than one man at a time but Lily make it work. The story gives you hope that a foursome can work if you love each other.
"Great author with an amazing imagination"
This is the 3rd series that I have read/listened to. I am pleasantly surprised by S.E Smith's imagination. I have previously read her space tipe series and they are great but I like the fact that there is variety to the themes of work. I have been able to find something by this author for all my requirements so far. very well done!!
"Highly recommend!"
I love this author and this was one of her favorite book in print for me. That has been so much enhanced by the excellent narration by Samantha Cook! She brought the characters and story perfectly to life. A+
Correlation does not imply causation
"And now for something completely different …"
First I liked the book. The menage was a little different for S.E. Smith though, most of her books are the usual mf pairing, and that difference will possibly put off some readers/listeners.
The story line concept though was quite enjoyable though.
"love it "
i love this book s.e smith writes great books you cant stop reading them then you want more

Greenpeace: Hinkley Point would be 'monumental disaster'
The government's decision to delay the go-ahead for a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point has been welcomed by Greenpeace, who said the project could be a "monumental disaster".
Speaking on ITV's Good Morning Britain, Kate Blagojevic said: "We really welcome the government's decision to press pause because we believe this project could be a monumental disaster for tax payers and for bill payers. It's so expensive.
"The government has negotiated a really sweet deal for EDF and its Chinese partners but it's not a good deal for us - people who are paying the bills.
"We believe that the government should be investing all of its efforts into the cutting edge technology that we're getting left behind on while the rest of the world is forging a path towards renewable energy powering all of the countries involved."
Hinkley Point delay shows government is in 'chaos'
The decision to delay the go-ahead to build a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point shows the government is in "absolute chaos", the Shadow Energy Secretary Barry Gardiner has said.
Speaking on ITV's Good Morning Britain, Mr Gardiner said: "Originally it was supposed to be that the bill-payer would pay £6 billion over the lifetime of the project but the national audit office has now said that will be £30 billion - so five times what was originally predicated here.
"The message it sends out to investors is that the British Government just doesn't know what it is doing when it comes to major infrastructure projects."

Hinkley Point C: EDF decides to push ahead with building new nuclear power station
Sorry, this content isn't available on your device.
EDF has confirmed it will press ahead with the development of a nuclear power station at Hinkley Point in Somerset.
Protests continue as Hinkley decision nears
Campaigners opposed to the planned Hinkley C nuclear power station have continued their protests, as a final decision on the project by French energy company EDF draws near.
A small group of protesters gathered in King's Square in Bridgwater, Somerset, on Thursday, some carrying banners dubbing the project a "white elephant".
One placard read: "Hinkley C will be everyone's financial nightmare".
Allan Jefferey, 64, spokesman for campaign group Stop Hinkley, called on EDF to withdraw from the project.
"I would like to urge EDF at their board meeting not to go ahead with what will be financial or commercial suicide," Mr Jefferey said.
"They should take a sensible step forward and go to non-polluting energy like the rest of the world."

An EDF board member has resigned ahead of a vote in which the Hinkley Point nuclear plant is expected to be approved.
Gerard Magnin, one of 18 board members, said the project is financially "risky" and will steer France further away from renewable energy sources.
In a resignation letter to chief executive Jean-Bernard Levy, seen by Reuters, Magnin said he was disappointed EDF's strategy was moving more and more towards nuclear power.
"I no longer want to support a strategy that I do not agree with," Magnin wrote.

Sweating during warm weather is very common, but if a person wakes up from bed soaked in sweat, it is not a pleasant feeling. It does not allow for a sound sleep, and may not always be related to warm weather.
There is no serious underlying medical issue, but it is always advisable to see a doctor to get this corrected. The following are some common reasons that could lead to night sweats.
- Menopause: The hot flashes that are so popularly associated with menopause is one of the main reasons for night sweats. The presenting factors (woman, age, and other symptoms) should help arrive at this diagnosis. Hormonal levels can be checked to confirm if required. Even puberty and pregnancy can cause night sweats, due to hormonal level alterations.
- Infections: Most infections present with fever and night sweats are very common. Tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, influenza and even HIV can cause night sweats and hamper a person's sleep. Most infections cause an increase in temperature, which is worse at night.
- Obstructive sleep apnea: The walls of the windpipe get narrowed, and the person might have short periods where the breathing just stops. These people are three times more likely to develop night sweats.
- Hypoglycemia: One of the most common symptoms of low blood sugar is night sweat. When the sugar drop happens during the time the person is sleeping, it is very common for the person to wake up soaked in sweat.
- Cancer: For some cancers, night sweats are one of the first warning signs. These cancers include lymphoma, and presence of symptoms like unexplained weight loss, fatigue, etc. should be addressed to rule out the possibility of cancer.
- Side effect of medications: Antidepressants, psychiatric drugs, anti-pyretic drugs, anti-virals, steroids, anti-diabetic medications, hormones, etc. can lead to night sweats. Suspected cases of night sweats should have their medications reviewed to see if any drug is causing the night sweats.
- Gastro-esophageal reflux disease: GERD, as it is popularly known, can cause night sweats in addition to heartburn. They would also have other symptoms of indigestion, which will help in identifying the problem.
- Neurologic disorders: Stroke, neuropathy and anxiety disorders can cause night sweats and would require psychotherapy in addition to medications.
- Idiopathic: And despite all these possible reasons, if there is no identifiable reason, it is known as idiopathic hyperhidrosis (increased sweating). The person produces too much sweat without any known underlying cause and can even wake up at night soaked in sweat.
Management: Identifying the underlying cause is the first step in treatment. It may require hormonal corrections, changing or withdrawing the causative medications, treating associated conditions, etc., as the case may be.

As obesity is becoming a big menace in daily affair to the individual's life and in their regular affairs and in the health system. Exercise and health go hand in hand, obesity is characterised as a state of low grade chronic inflammation. Excessive caloric intake compromises the immune system's ability to fight infection. High fat diets tend to depress the immune function.
Obese people are more prone to developing infections and antibiotics and vaccines do not act as well on them. To cope with this best solution through to maintain a healthy lifestyle, cycling for half an hour, a zumba class four to five times a week and a 20 minute walk are a few options that can go a long way keep immunity strong and in check.
Exams are really tough times for most students irrespective of the level of their preparation. It is natural to get anxious before and during the exam time. Anxiety is a natural state in which people are either uneasy or fearful, depending on the situation that is making them anxious.
Generally, students suffer from anxiety and fear when exam time approaches:
- Forms of ailment: Depending on the medical studies conducted throughout the world, anxiety is divided into the following types:
- Generalized anxiety disorder: People suffering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder usually feel nervous and anxious. They even experience fear in conducting routine tasks and worry a lot about the same. Students suffering from this anxiety tend to worry a lot during exam time even after knowing that they are fully prepared to take the exam. Usually, the sufferers here are unable to control their worrying.
- Phobias: Phobia refers to the feeling of excessive fear for any particular thing or object or action. Phobia clearly interferes with the normal functioning of the individual and causes the sudden flow of adrenaline through his or her body. People suffering from any kind of phobia tend to avoid the cause or reason for their fear. Students mostly suffer from social phobias when it comes to exams and their performance.
- Panic disorder: Panic Disorders are characterized by quick and intense fear. People suffering from this kind of anxiety disorder are prone to experience panic attacks - the situation that involves periods of intense fear and discomfort along with rapid heartbeat, nausea, shortness of breath and dizziness. Panic Disorder causes its sufferers to develop the anxiety of having panic attacks which further increases the problem.
- Obsessive compulsive disorder: People suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder usually feel compelled to act in a certain way which doesn't appear normal to others. The kind of obsessions people feel due to this ailment include checking if a door is locked repeatedly or washing hands again and again, and so on.
Students usually suffer from generic anxiety disorders before and during the exam. An apt amount of anxiety leads to great results as it makes the person serious about his or her goals and focus on the same.
Anxiety is something that everyone suffers from at one or the other point in their life. The levels of suffering can be different from person to person. The major symptoms of anxiety are listed below:
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness and unsteadiness
- Trembling or shaking
- Heart palpitations
- Choking
- Sweating
- Numbness
- Hot flushes or chills
- Fear of going out of control

Herniated disc, bulged disc, protruded intervertebral disc (PIVD) are the different names of one condition. This is a condition where- disc in between the two vertebral bodies starts peeping out on one side- anterior or posterior. These discs are just like the bags filled with liquid material, which work like shock-absorbent. There are several hard bony vertebrae in the vertebral column and there is plenty of movements with these vertebrae. When we look on one side to other side, we look upwards, downwards or we twist and even we bend forward or backward in each and every condition, there will be a movement in these bones, these discs decide the free movements of the spine. Along with this- when we walk or run there will be shocks and jerks to all these bones and these bags decide that there wont be any kind of jerks in between the bones. So, these discs are of multiple uses.
Our spine is inverted "S" shaped. There are two main curvatures in the spine which are free to move- Cervical and Lumbar curvatures. These curvatures of the spine are maintained due to the spaces in between the two vertebrae. Whenever there is a loss or change (specially reduction) of this space between two vertebrae- pressure will be exerted on the intervertebral discs. This uneven pressure on the disc causes- protrusion/bulge/herniation of the disc- this is the condition known as SLIPPED DISC, in layman language. Why does disc slip
Generally, slipped disc condition is diagnosed by its signs and symptoms. When slipped disc starts exerting pressure on the nerves surround the disc- the nerve will be excited which gives sensation of- Pain, Burning or Numbness in the related area of the nerve. This sensation can travel long far away to the areas, which are being supplied by the nerve and can be limited to a particular location in neck or back even. Sign & Symptoms of Slipped Disc.
Ayurveda about Slipped Disc
Where modern medical (Surgical) sciences believes that this is a problem of just bones and joints of the vertebral disc besides this Ayurveda takes a "Wholistic" (Complete and wholesome) approach towards this and tells that this is a problem at three levels-
- Mamsa Dhatu, Asthi Dhatu, Majja Dhatu!!
- These are different tissue levels according to Ayurveda- Mamsa is muscles, Asthi represents bones and the Majja denotes everything which is in between and in the bones.
- Mamsa (the muscles) starts stiffening due to the dryness – improper diet and imbalanced lifestyle and deteriorate the curvature of the spine- which leads to the deterioration of the intervertebral discs.
- Asthi (the bony tissue) is affected due to the muscles.
- Majja (the disc and the neural tissue- spine) is compressed due to the pressure and all effects.
So, we need to treat the condition, wisely and in a wholesome manner, rather just to removal of the protruded tissues (Laminotomy) and this is the basic reason- there are risks associated to the surgery of the spine and in almost more than 45% cases patients had to go for a second surgery to stay pain free. Why Surgery for spine doesn't succeed. Secondly, this is a mechanical problem so medicines alone can give you temporary relief rather than the cure- So better you save your money and invest it on complete cure for the problem, rather than just taking the pain killers and medicines which were indicated in epilepsy to just reduce the signs and symptoms.

Chris Fortier
New York-based DJ/producer Chris Fortier got his start in the music industry in Orlando (where he moved from the smaller city of Melbourne, Florida, for college). Having weathered the crapstorm that was the Nineties' progressive house movement and survived to sail into the seas of more substantial future music, he is sufficiently talented for the Sunshine State to want to claim him as its own.
Despite a 20-year career of remixing, producing singles, releasing mix CDs, and playing the international club circuit many times over, As Long as the Moment Exists is Fortier's proper solo debut album. His restraint in waiting this long instead of just tossing out whatever he was working on has paid off with considered arrangements and variety that surpass his early output. Bumping cuts like the acid-laden "Deviated Septum" could easily be snuck into a techno snob's playlist without reproach, while the title track displays an affinity for delicate ambient melody that hardly sounds like it came from the same studio. However, the album is not eclectic to the point of obnoxiousness. Fortier is pointed in the right direction, if he doesn't take as much time to release his sophomore album.

Paint Contracting and Estimating
A straightforward, practical guide, aimed at the average painting contractor.
It is not specifically designed for the five to ten million dollar a year contractor, though they could benefit from this book, but is geared more for the small to medium sized painting operation that wants to take things to the next level. It provides a useful, step-by-step approach to becoming a better contractor and estimator, and to winning more bids.
This book is different from some others you may find in that it is not just a bunch of spreadsheets and tables sandwiched between two covers, although many useful production and spread rate examples are provided.
Other topics you will gain insights to include:
- Determining the size and structure of your painting company.
- Sales and marketing strategies.
- How to do takeoffs from job sites and plans.
- Understanding project manuals and what to look for.
- How to read blueprints.
- Putting the Bid together.
- Writing a Proposal, Contract, and Scope of Work.
- Effective project management.
- Dealing successfully with owners, architects, and general contractors.
- Protecting your profits.
- Various resources.
The information in this book is based on over twenty years of experience, lessons learned and detailed record keeping. What it also includes are personal experiences and advice to help you get a handle on how all this "stuff" goes together, what to watch out for and how to get a competitive advantage. Worth far more than the purchase price, are the many tips that I have included that can save you money and much of the frustration that usually accompanies the trial and error learning process. This is what I want to share with you in a way that you can understand easily and help you to improve your business!

Q. My son who is nearly two-and-a-half years old has had runny, loose stools now for quite some time. I can't remember when he last had a formed motion. I am told that, by this age, he should definitely be having formed motions. His stools are sometimes explosive (and not very pleasant). I am in the process of toilet training him (even though he refuses to sit on the toilet). Can you please advise as to what may be causing this? He has a varied diet. Sandra; Queensland, Australia

A.

Possible Causes of Diarrhea in Young Children

There are many possible causes of diarrhea in toddlers. Here are some common ones.

 A milk allergy, lactose intolerance, or another underlying health condition may be causing malabsorption.

An Infection, such as giardiasis, could be the trigger.

 "Toddler's diarrhea" (also known as drinking too much fruit juice) is another possible cause. Toddler's diarrhea usually begins between the ages of six months and 30 months and goes away by the time the child is about four years old. A kid may have two to six watery stools each day, but otherwise may seem well and gains weight normally.

How to Treat Diarrhea in Young Kids

Try to keep a record for a week or so to see when, exactly, the diarrhea occurs—the date, the time of day, the date and time of your child's last meal, and what the last meal consisted of. It may sound like a lot of work, but you may see a pattern develop, which can provide clues to a possible cause. For example, if you notice that your kid tends to have symptoms primarily after eating milk or dairy, then you may want to ask his pediatrician if it's alright to eliminate those types of foods from his diet.

If you think that your child may have toddler's diarrhea, there are some key things that you can do.

Limit fruit juice or stop giving it to your child altogether, especially juices that are high in fructose or sorbital, like apple juice and pear juice. White grape juice is a better option. Remember that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends limiting fruit juice to just four to six ounces per day for children who are between the ages of one and six. Even that small amount may be too much for some children, though, so eliminating juice completely might be helpful for children with toddler's diarrhea.

Increase the amount of fat in his diet (talk to your pediatrician about this, though, so you don't end up giving your child too many high-fat foods, which isn't healthy).

Increase the amount of fiber in his diet. (Note: This recommendation can be confusing, since a high-fiber diet is supposed to help kids who are constipated, but fiber seems to help many different kinds of gastrointestinal disorders.)

Another general dietary strategy is to try adding foods to his diet that are known to cause constipation (the opposite of diarrhea). For example, children who consume a lot of whole cow's milk and other dairy products, and those who eat bananas or cooked carrots often become constipated. So if you increase the amounts of those foods in the diet of a child who has diarrhea, it might help his stools become more firm.

When Should You See a Pediatrician

If you've tried all the methods above and they're not working, if your child has any other unusual symptoms (such as a fever), or if the diarrhea has been going on for some time, then you should see your child's pediatrician, who can do stool cultures to check for parasites and bacterial infections. If the cause is a bacterial infection, for instance, the doctor might be able to prescribe an antibiotic drug that can help get rid of the infection (and the diarrhea).

If your child is very fussy, has greasy stools that are very foul-smelling, or if he is not gaining weight well, then your pediatrician might be more aggressive in looking for a medical cause for your child's loose stools.

It is important to work on solving this problem, not only so your child feels better (explosive bowel movements are no fun), but also since loose stools are bound to make it much more difficult to get him potty trained.

MMORPG.com Age of Conan Correspondent Garrett Perkins writes this basic look at the Priest of Mitra class in Funcom's bloody MMO.
Hailing from noble Aquillonia this priest conveys the word of Mitra, the patron god of the kingdom. Unlike Crom, who cares little for those who believe in his presence, or Set, who would have blood sacrifices and men crawl on their bellies like the serpent he embodies, Mitra cares deeply for his followers. Depicted as a great white bearded man bathed in light he would see his people stand on their feet when taking part in prayer and is forgiving to any who truly seek redemption. Granting a small portion of his immense power to some of his chosen followers so that they may bring his light to the darkest of places of Hyboria; this is the Priest of Mitra. He is able to heal the most fatal of wounds and smite the darkest of enemies.
Jon Wood
Managing Editor
From what I remember of the PoM class, it was rather over powered. I haven't played in a while, so they may have patched him up, but from what I remember it was just stupid how powerful he was. I remember there was this PoM that kept killing me every time I went to do a quest, even the times when I got the drop on him (I was a Barbarian).. That happened about 4 times before I realized that there's no way I'm going to kill him like this. Firstly, it seems more than a little odd to me, that a Rogue class can get the drop on a Priest that is only a single level higher than him, and not even come close to killing him. So I got 2 of my friends to come with me, and I figured that we were going to get him back (A Guardian [tempest] 2 levels lower than the Priest, and an Assassin [corruption] the same level as the Priest). Well, both me and the assassin got our sneak attacks on the priest, and our guardian was really laying into him. He killed the assassin, and brought me down to ~15% health before we killed him. The reason he was so hard to kill, was because every time we got him close to dying, he would fully heal. We had to kill him 7 times essentially.
It just seems kinda stupid to me, that both AoC and WAR feel that healers need to be able to stand their ground like that in a fight. Don't get me wrong, a priest shouldn't get creamed every time he gets into a fight, but everyone has their role to play. If someone gets killed by rogues a lot, then that's just part of the job. If an Assassin can't take on a Guardian in a one on one fight, well that's just what makes the game fun. Priests and Mages don't need all those counter measures against those kinds of fights. Rogue's kill squishies, it's their job. Fighters kill Rogues, and casters kill fighters. Everyone should stand some chance, but in the end, the worst thing you can do to a game is take the challenge out of it. Because then it's just laundry.
There has to be a balance where healers are not always the first choice to dps down. healers need great defenses to make that happen. Otherwise, you end up in a game without healers which so far has not worked.

That's not going to happen. Healers are always going to be the first choice to take down followed by mages because that's what is going to give you the greatest advantage. The only way to change that would be to make healers really under powered so no one worried about them till the end. The healers have some really good crowd control with the tos and pom and the bear shaman does have high survivability. Ultimately though in aoc it's up to the healer to learn how to move and heal and when to use his cc effectively and his teammates using their crowd control and acting as a shield for him. There is a particular pom on my server that is absolutely horrid to take down, especially when he's playing with his friends. He uses the terrain and his teammates to keep his space and has enough magic mitigation to fend of spell casters for a bit. It's really an art to watch him bouncing around rocks and hiding behind trees or players while healing and certainly something I've been unable to match on my tos. Really if you're dieing a lot as a priest it's either your or your teammates fault. Teamwork is key and a good team will protect their healer while instead of using their stuns to chase down a person and just get that one last kill.
