iPhone 5 flash placement
Our most recent find suggests the iPhone 5's camera flash will scoot over to the other side of the device. As any photographer worth his white balance will tell you, that means reduced red-eye and better casting of light over the subject, with less light spilling directly into the lens. It can't tell us much about the sensor, but 8MP is the odds-on favourite.
iPhone 5's big screen, little bezel, big home button
We know this iPhone 5 video we found is a fanboy effort, but we're applauding the effort that went into its production anyway. We also think it shows the iPhone 5's enlarged 4in Retina Display hi-res screen encroaching on the space traditionally taken up by the black bezel, another element of the iPhone 5's design we're expecting to materialise.
Moved mute switch on the iPhone 5
These iPhone 5 case shots (a Stuff exclusive) firmed up many of our suspicions about the size and shape of the Apple's next phone. But what was more telling was the layout and shape of the buttons, which suggest a return to the 3GS-style volume rocker and the movement of the mute switch to the opposite side of the device. There's also the suggestion that the iPhone 5 will have a curved back.
Case-Mate iPhone 5 leak talks aluminium body
When Case-Mate accidentally (we hope) dropped – then pulled – some images of its forthcoming iPhone 5 case designs, we caught a glimpse of its aluminium back, a throwback to the classy rear of 2007's original iPhone. The pics firm up our suspicions about button design and placement, though that LED flash returns to lens-side. Curious.
iPhone 5 screenshot
This screenshot purported to be from an iPhone 5. But where's the enlarged home button? Where's the pencil-line bezel? Where's the new design? And what does all that Chinese writing mean? Best guesses suggest this is a prototype, but offer clues of a one-size-fits-all quad-band device with 4G. Here's hoping.

July 2012
Eight scientists have received National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants to develop K-12 education programs that will engage young people in learning about the brain, inspire some to pursue careers in biomedical science, and increase teacher knowledge of neuroscience. The 5-year grants are funded by the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research Science Education.
Dr. J. David Jentsch is the recipient of the 2011 Jacob P. Waletzky Memorial Award for Innovative Research in Drug Addiction and Alcoholism. Dr. Jentsch and colleagues at the University of California, Los Angeles, are studying genetic and neurochemical factors that influence individual differences in inhibitory control.
June 2012
Researchers have mapped the fundamental functional organization of the rat brain and shown that it resembles that of the human brain.
Illicit drug use in the United States in 2010 was at its highest level since 2002, according to the most recent report from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. A rise in marijuana use drove the increase. A favorable trend of falling cocaine use continued.
April 2012
During early abstinence, smokers' cravings triggered by cigarette cues intensified over time, providing evidence that people can experience a phenomenon previously observed in experiments with animals
New research establishes that benzodiazepines cause addiction in a way similar to that of opioids, cannabinoids, and the club drug GHB. The discovery opens the door to designing new benzodiazepines that counteract anxiety but are not addictive.
First-time smokers have a much higher chance of eventually becoming dependent than first-time users alcohol, cannabis, and cocaine.
Substance abuse counselors and clinical supervisors disclosed high job turnover rates in a survey of 27 treatment organizations.
Two independent animal studies suggest that aerobic exercise might help cocaine abusers establish and maintain abstinence.

Derby, a dry chypre with leather
Sous Le Vent,a green classic made in the 1930s for women
I love them both and can't decide
Just asking which some prefer over the other.
Also an option if you can't make up your mind.
"...put on clothes that are well-scented with incense. Even if youre somewhere where no one special will see you, you still feel a heady sense of pleasure inside." Things that make your heart beat fast (translated by Meredith McKinney), Sei Shonagon. The Pillow Book.
I've only tried Sous le Vent once while I was also testing Vol de Nuit parfum. For me, Vol de Nuit parfum overshadowed Sous le Vent (much preferred VdN's drydown compared to SLV's drydown), but I'm sure more extensive testing is in order.
For now, my vote is for Derby.
Love both but prefer Sous Le Vent
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie
4) Lalfeorosa (O'driù) - tie
6) Les Nombres d'Or Vetyver (Mona di Orio)
7) Captain vintage (Molyneux)
8) Tzora (Anat Fritz)
9) Javanese Patchouli (Zegna) - tie
9) Monsieur de Givenchy vintage (Givenchy) - tie
9) Coeur de Vetiver Sacré (L'Artisan) - tie
9) Polo vintage (Ralph Lauren) - tie
9) Patou pour Homme Privé (Jean Patou) - tie
9) Oud Shamash (The Different Company) - tie
3rd option for me...
Derby for me.
Love to smell Sous le Vent on others. Like to wear vintage Derby.
I love everything about Derby.
Sous le Vent smells great, but is too fleeting IMO.

Sous le Vent.
Reviews :: http://www.lemouchoirparfume.blogspot.co.uk :: Reviews
Sous le Vent by far. I don't like Derby for myself.
"When you become comfortable with uncertainty. infinite possibilities open up in your life"
-- Eckhart Tolle
Derby by Guerlain
Almost even split but Derby ahead by a nose.
"...put on clothes that are well-scented with incense. Even if youre somewhere where no one special will see you, you still feel a heady sense of pleasure inside." Things that make your heart beat fast (translated by Meredith McKinney), Sei Shonagon. The Pillow Book.
I just slightly prefer Sous le Vent. Derby is wonderful, but its drydown isn't as inspiring as Sous le Vent to me.
Derby is wonderful, though.
My Top Ten:
1: Guerlain - Habit Rouge
2: Guerlain - Jicky
3: Guerlain - Mouchoir de Monsieur
4: Guerlain - Shalimar
5: Knize - Knize Ten
6: Caron - Yatagan
7: Caron - Pour Un Homme
8: Jean Desprez - Bal a Versailles
9: Yves Saint Laurent - M7
10: Salvador Dali - Dali Pour Homme
That a difficult question, I like em both

I LOVE it. And even I had a little pang, knowing that you tore the page out of the book...BUT, you will enjoy it so much more this way, rather than in a closet, right?
You can come over anytime and we'll watch Mary Poppins and sing all the songs together. :-) My favorite was Chimchimmeny Chim Chim Cheree (or whatever it was called. Loved the dancing on the rooftops!!)

Sorry I am just getting here to check your printable work out. My husband decided he was going to paint the inside of our house this weekend. I tell you it's not easy living with a weekend warrior. At least he hasn't gotten called into work, so it might get done, fingers crossed.
Your printable art looks amazing. I love the story about the music sheet. You are so funny about hobby lobby, can you believe I have never been in one, we don't have one in town, and that might be a good thing.

LONG BEACH - A smell of ammonia drew Long Beach Fire Department HazMat units to a cold storage facility in the area of Anaheim Street and Daisy Avenue Monday morning and prompted authorities to tell residents to stay indoors. | CHECK ALTERNATE ROUTES
The facility is the same where a leak was discovered Feb. 2, said Long Beach Fire Department spokesman Matt Dobberpuhl.
Streets around Long Beach Cold Storage and Logistics were closed to traffic, a news photographer reported from the scene.
HazMat units responding to the February emergency spotted a 4,000-gallon tank with a small leak in it and a large amount of industrial ammonia that had leaked out, said fire Capt. Jim Arvizu. Firefighters stopped the leak and contained the ammonia, he said.
The California Highway Patrol has closed the Anaheim Street offramps from the northbound and southbound Long Beach (710) Freeway in connection with the ammonia leak at a cold storage facility at Anaheim Street near Daisy Avenue.
Anaheim Street remains shut down between Harbor Scenic Drive and Pacific Avenue. But the leak appears small enough to no longer ask residents to shelter in place, says Dobberpuhl.

What supplements do i need after giving birth?
Hi, I just gave birth to my baby 16 days ago and I've been pale and feeling so weak this past few days. Do I need to take supplements after giving birth?and what should i take?
24th September 2013 06:36 AM #2
Hi chymeer13,
The symptoms you describe are common in someone who needs more iron. Women are more likely to be iron deficient in pregnancy and following birth. This is particularly the case if you lost a lot of blood in labour. In light of what you describe, I would get your iron levels checked with your healthcare provider. They may then prescribe additional iron supplements. You can also eat food which is rich in iron including: chicken, cereal, tofu, lentils and raisins. You should not eat this food at the same time as drinking tea, coffee, milk or soya as these drinks actually contain a substance which can block the absorption of iron. So they should only be drank at a separate time.
Having low iron levels puts women at an increased risk of suffering from postpartum depression as well as excessive tiredness.
You may want to take a supplement which also contains vitamin B and vitamin D.
It is good to eat a healthy, balanced diet when you have had a baby and try and get some exercise if you can. I think you said you were breastfeeding so it will be important to eat enough Calcium or take supplements containing Calcium.
How are you getting on with your baby now? It is hard and tiring at first. Have things become any easier?
Warm wishes,

Before you read this blog 'Part 2″, read Part 1 White Paper of this series – "PCB Design Perfection Starts in the CAD Library" for the introduction information. Download it here – http://www.mentor.com/products/pcb-system-design/techpubs/download?id=60454
Parts 3, 4, 5 etc. will be posted here over the next couple weeks. I'm really looking forward to your feedback on this subject. I believe that everyone who follows these basic rules will increase productivity levels in their PCB design layouts.
See Figure 6 for the dimensions of a standard 1005 (EIA 0402) component superimposed with its related land pattern. In this case, I decided to break 2 rules –
1. Land size round-off 0.05 mm
2. Land snap grid round-off 1.0 mm
The land center to land center spacing is 1.0 mm which is perfect for 1.0 mm space via fanout and the placement courtyard width is 1.0 mm which is perfect for placing parts 1.0 mm from center to center.
When placing the 1005 in the PCB layout use a 0.1mm grid to optimize the part placement and via fanout.
The 1005 (EIA 0402) was made for 1mm pitch BGA fanout. In Figure 7 you can see 2 different fanout options and one is superior to the other. The fanout coming out the top has all the key features. The vias are 0.25 mm closer to the capacitor component terminals than the typical right/left fanout which decreases impedance and increases capacitance. Also, the top fanout vias snap to a 1 mm grid because the 1005 land pattern was snapped to a 0.1 mm grid system. The 0.5 mm via land (pad) diameter with 0.25 mm hole size and 0.7 mm plane anti-pad is perfect for 0.1mm trace/space technology. See Figure 4. The trace width for the power fanout is 0.3 mm.
1. Land size round-off 0.05 mm
2. Land snap grid round-off 1.0 mm
3. Use the "Least" environment due to component miniaturization
For chip components smaller than 1 mm X 0.5 mm I use the IPC-7351B Least Environment to prevent tombstoning. When 2 pin micro-miniature parts have too much solder volume tombstoning can occur in the reflow oven. The land size for the 0603 should be slightly more than 2 times the terminal lead size.
One of the techniques that can be used to prevent tombstoning for the 0603 (EIA 0201) is to thin the paste stencil from 0.15 mm to a smaller value for every occurrence of this component in the paste mask stencil. See Figure 9. The responsibility of the stencil thickness thinning process is placed on the assembly shop and the stencil manufacturer (not the PCB designer). Assembly shops use various solder alloys that require unique stencil creation.
See Figure 10 for the dimensions of a standard 0603 (EIA 0201) component superimposed with its related land pattern. If you normally use the "Most" environment, my recommendation for the 0603 (EIA 0201) land pattern is to use the "Nominal" environment. The IPC nominal land size for the 0603 is about 3 times the size of the terminal lead. For this 0603 micro-miniature component, stay away from the "Most" environment as the solder volume is more than 4 times greater than the terminal lead footprint.
The 1005 (EIA 0402) & 0603 (EIA 0201) chip components are very compatible with 1 mm pitch BGA. In Figure 11 there are 2 uses for the 1005 and one in-between the vias and one via-in-pad method. Because the 1005 land centers are on 1 mm pitch, the capacitor land (pad) falls directly centered on the via. Via-in-Pad technology will increase PCB cost because these vias need to be plated, filled and surface finish on the capacitor pad. The 0603 fall in-between the vias for the 0.1 mm trace/space technology DRC. This solution will not increase PCB fabrication cost. The dot grid display is 0.05 mm.
IPC does not have a "standard" on drafting items such as silkscreen and assembly outlines and polarity markings yet. There are several types of silkscreen outlines and polarity markings that are used for Non-polarized Chip parts, Polarized Capacitors, Diodes and LED's.
For a standard Non-polarized chip there are 2 options. See Figure 12 for both options. One is a line that separates the 2 lands. The default size is 0.2 mm and the default silkscreen the land gap is 0.25 mm. The CAD librarian can change both the line width and the gap to achieve placing a line between two lands that only have a 0.3 mm Gap by simply changing the line width and gap rules to 0.1 mm.
See Figure 13 for the silkscreen outline for the Chip Diode. The Chip Diode also has a Post Assembly Inspection Dot so you can visually verify if the assembly inserted the Diode or LED in the correct rotation. The Polarized Chip Capacitor would have the same exact silkscreen outline but without the 0.6 mm bar.
The Assembly Drawing Outlines and Polarity Markings are totally different than the Silkscreen Outlines and Polarity Markings. The first most obvious difference is that the outline shape is 1:1 scale of the component body. This outline can be either the "Nominal" or "Maximum" component body size. Another difference is the Reference Designator is centered inside the component outline and is never moved or relocated. The reference designator default size is 1.5 mm height with a 10% line width.
The Reference Designator and Assembly Outline only change rules for micro-miniature parts. The Assembly Outline will grow as large as the placement courtyard in order to fit the Reference Designator inside the Assembly Outline. When the component gets smaller, the Reference Designator will decrease from the default 1.5 mm height to a sliding scale of values until it fits inside the assembly outline. The reference designator scaling width is always 10% of the height. The various reference designator heights for micro-miniature components are –
· 0.15 mm
· 0.125 mm
· 0.1 mm
· 0.075 mm
· 0.05 mm (this is the smallest human readable text height)
See Figure 14 for the non-polarized and polarized capacitor, diode and resistor assembly outlines and Reference designators. Notice the absence of land pads. From all Chip and Molded Body components, the Land is removed from the SMT padstack to insure that the reference designators are unobstructed. Also, for CAD tools that have this feature, Right Reading Orthogonal is always recommended so when the component is rotated, the reference designator is always flipped to right reading orientation.

PALMDALE - A 10-year-old student at Joshua Hills Elementary School in Palmdale was identified Wednesday by sheriff's investigators as the person who posted threats against a class at the school on Facebook. | » POLICE NEWS
"Detectives conducted an intense and thorough investigation which led them to the subject, and after an extensive interview it was determined that the threat was not credible and was made as a prank," according to a statement from the sheriff's Palmdale Station.
"The investigation revealed the subject did not possess the means to carry out the threat." The statement did not say if any actions were contemplated against the 10-year-old.
"Unfortunately it is not unusual for individuals to make prank threats following a tragedy," Capt. Bobby Denham said, referencing the Friday massacre at a Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Conn.
An 11-year-old student at the school reported the threats to the sheriff's Palmdale Station late Monday night, according to Deputy Jodi Wolfe of the Palmdale Sheriff's Station.
Detectives from the sheriff's station made immediate contact with Palmdale School District officials, and together they decided to put all the schools in the district's on controlled access for the week, preventing unauthorized people from entering the school grounds, sheriff's officials said.

INTERVIEW: Sebastian Ingrosso at Tomorrowland
Listen to Sebastian Ingrosso on iHeartRadio
Having created one of the biggest dance floor anthems of the summer - and Tomorrowland - Sebastian Ingrosso took over the main stage at the epic festival with "Reload."
Watching the track continue to explode not only on the dance floor and at festivals, but on the radio as well. Sebastian has had a busy summer, especially with his Ibiza party with Axwell, "Departures." And he continues to take his music all over the world, including a stop at Tomorrowworld in the U.S. this fall, and a huge sold out show at the O2 Academy Brixton this winter.
We got to catch up with Sebastian after his Tomorrowland set, where he talked about what he thinks of the festival, what he thinks Tomorrowworld will be like, his party in Ibiza, and more! Check it out below:
What do you think of Tomorrowland?
I think it's becoming kind of the center of dance music, the festival that everybody waits for during the summer. I mean, there's so many flags from all over the world and so many people, and the energy just feeds off each other. I think it's the best for sure.
What do you think Tomorroworld will be like?
I mean, I think it will be great because the brand is so big and I've seen the site and it's huge! I think that the line-up is also really good, so I think it'll be great.
How is Departures going in Ibiza?
It's going great, we had really fun times with all of our friends, everyone from Alesso, Dirty South, Otto Knows. And it's magical, it's really magical.
What has been the best part about it?
I think that the best part is that, you know, everybody's relaxed. It's a party, it's not a concert. It's a party, dance, have fun, make love, whatever you wanna do, just, you know, go for it.
And you have a lot of tour dates coming up. I heard the Brixton show sold out in ten minutes! Do you have anything special planned for that?
Yeah, I'm working on it.
If you had your own land, what would you call it?
I don't know, maybe Peaceland

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – Playing its first game in 15 days, the University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team was blitzed by Marist in the first half and could not recover, falling to the Red Foxes Sunday afternoon at the McCann Arena, 76-62.
Penn fell to 2-7 with the loss, while Marist won its second game in three days and its third in a row after a 0-9 start.
Penn was up early, 15-13, before Marist absolutely ran away with this game. The Red Foxes hit three-pointers on three consecutive possessions and added a free throw to make the score 23-15. Fran Dougherty finally ended the run with a bucket for Penn, but Marist responded with a pair of treys from Manny Thomas that made the score 29-17. In all, the Red Foxes converted for at least one point on nine straight possessions en route to building a 35-22 lead.
The knockout blow came in the final four minutes of the half. Holding that 35-22 lead, Marist scored 12 of the last 14 points before the break and took a 47-24 lead into the locker room. It was an amazing stretch -- after missing their first four three-pointers of the game, the Red Foxes went 8-of-9 the rest of the half in building their lead. (They would go 0-of-6 beyond the arc in the second half, by the way.).
Penn used an eight-point run midway through the second period to get within 14 points, the capper coming when Miles Jackson-Cartwright hit a three-pointer with 6:10 left. However, that was as close as the Quakers got the rest of the way.
Penn played the game without big man Darien Nelson-Henry, who stayed in Philadelphia after suffering a concussion during the week of practice. It showed. Marist outrebounded the Quakers 45-32, led by Adam Kemp (13 rebounds) and Jay Bowie (10). Kemp also had 12 points for a double-double. Khallid Hart led all scorers with 21 points, while Chavaughn Lewis had 14 and Manny Thomas added 12.
Penn had 12 different scorers, but did not place anyone in double figures in scoring; Fran Dougherty and Tony Hicks had nine each to lead the Quakers. Dougherty also had nine rebounds to lead the way.
Penn is off until next Sunday, when the Quakers face Rider at noon. That game will be televised live on the Comcast Network.
Game Notes: Penn got 30 points from its bench, a season high … Marist shot 43.5 percent from the field, the eighth of Penn's nine opponents this season to shoot below 45 percent … Penn committed 13 turnovers, its lowest total in six games … Penn had no players reach double figures in the scoring column, a first in the Jerome Allen coaching era … Penn's 24 first-half points tied a season low for the first half (also Penn State), and the 23-point halftime margin was tied for the largest deficit this season (also 47-24 to Penn State) … Penn was outrebounded by its opponent for the first time in five games … Senior Fran Dougherty led Penn in rebounding for the fifth straight game, with nine … In that stretch, Doc has averaged 9.2 boards per game … Junior Henry Brooks set a career high with three assists … Sophomore Julian Harrell set a career high with seven points … Freshman Tony Bagtas set a season/career high with two steals … Senior Cameron Gunter set a season high in points (6) and tied a season high in rebounds (4) … Senior Steve Rennard set a season high in points (3) … Junior Greg Louis set a season high in minutes (18), while freshman Matt Howard tied his season/career high in that category (6) … Senior Miles Jackson-Cartwright scored nine points, giving him 1,183 for his career which is 27th in Penn history; Jeff Neuman (1964-66) is 26th with 1,187 and Matt Langel (19997-00) is 25th with 1,191 ... Jackson-Cartwright came off the bench, due to a thumb injury. The last time he played in a game but did not start it? Dec. 10, 2011 at UCLA ... Prior to Sunday's game, Jackson-Cartwright had started 88 of the previous 90 games he had played (aside from UCLA, the only other non-start was Penn's Senior Day game against Princeton on March 8, 2011).

By Norman Winter McClatchy-Tribune News Service
If you are the fortunate owner of a woodland garden looking to add a fern or two, put the arborvitae fern high on your list of must-have plants.
Botanically speaking it is Selaginella braunii, and is a real anomaly when it comes to common names, since it's not a fern.
It does share a fern trait: It doesn't flower, but produces spore-bearing cones. Its other common name is spikemoss and — though it would look to be a natural fit in a mossy garden — it is not a moss, either.
One aspect makes it a taxonomic dream plant: Known as a lycopod, it is among the oldest living plants on Earth. The arborvitae fern is a lycopod from China, and is just one of several hundred of these species, including some native to the United States.
The arborvitae fern is cold hardy. It will take awhile to form a clump but is well worth the patience required.
Select a site that is shaded to filtered light. The soil should be fertile, organic-rich and well-drained. This will provide for the fastest spread. Space plants informally on 2-foot centers to design your clump or drift.
Maintain a regular water regimen the first year as they are getting established and keep the bed area well mulched to prevent competition from weeds.
Woodland gardens are most effective when designed with winding paths or walkways. Use the arborvitae fern in drifts or clumps along these trails. Another strong attribute: They are not eaten by deer.
Norman Winter is executive director of the Columbus Botanical Garden, Columbus Ga., and author of "Tough-as-Nails Flowers for the South" and "Captivating Combinations Color and Style in the Garden."

Date: Thursday November 14, 2013, 2013
Time: 5:00 pm
Location: Greenbriar Theatre, ASU Student Union
Admission: Free, open to the public
Are you interested in having a better understanding of Israeli and Palestinian families, identity, and society? Then you are encouraged to attend the film, "The Other Son" this coming Thursday evening.
"The Other Son is a compelling, moving, and humane film about the families of two young men -- one Israeli, the other Palestinian -- who discover that their sons were accidentally switched at birth. This revelation turns their lives upside-down, forcing them to reassess their respective identities, values and beliefs. This is a life affirming story about finding compassion for the "other". The film won Best Director Award and the Tokyo Grand Prix at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2012.
Discussion after the film will be led by Palestinian-American, Dr. Jawad Bargothi, who is Professor Emeritus from the ASU Department of Government and Justice Studies.
The event is presented as part of International Education Week and presented in partnership between the ASU Library, the ASU Muslim Students Association and the ASU Office of International Education and Development. It is the fourth event of the Muslim Journeys Bridging Cultures "Let's Talk about It" Program, a series of book and film discussions supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the American Library Association. This series follows upon the Muslim Journeys Bridging Cultures Bookshelf Program begun in spring 2013.

Erythropoietin testSerum erythropoietin; EPO
The erythropoietin test measures the amount of a hormone called erythropoietin (EPO) in blood.
The hormone tells stem cells in the bone marrow to make more red blood cells. EPO is made by cells in the kidney. These cells release more EPO when blood oxygen levels are low.
See also: Reticulocyte count
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
How to Prepare for the Test
No special preparation is necessary.
How the Test Will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Why the Test is Performed
This test may be used to help determine the cause of anemia, polycythemia (high red blood cell count) or other bone marrow disorders.
A change in red blood cells will affect the release of EPO. For example, persons with anemia have too few red blood cells, so more EPO is produced.
Normal Results
The normal range is 0-19 milliunits per milliliter (mU/mL).
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Increased EPO levels may be due to secondary polycythemia, an overproduction of red blood cells that occurs in response to an event such as low blood oxygen levels. This may happen at high altitudes or, rarely, because of a tumor that releases EPO.
Lower-than-normal EPO levels may be seen in chronic kidney failure, anemia of chronic disease, or polycythemia vera.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

Kilgore College says their officers did not use excessive force, nor did they violate any local policies or state laws following an incident after a basketball game in February when Navarro College players were pepper sprayed. Kilgore College said those players were being unruly and making threats against the officer.
Richard Sanchez, the district president of Navarro College, said last month he is extremely disappointed in how his team was treated and expects something to be done about it.
The Kilgore College police chief writes in the report that he reviewed statements from multiple witnesses, and the statements were "polarized in view, a KC VS. NC if you will."
To summarize the report, a female employee of Navarro College was angry because she said Kilgore College students were using profanity during the game aimed at Navarro players. KC officers were called over and told the students to stop using such language. One KC employee told the chief he heard the students using profanity, but other KC employees said they did not.
The report says the female NC employee became angrier and angrier as the game progressed, and at the end was swearing at KC employees. Students, fans and some KC basketball players celebrated the win at center court. The female employee is seen in a video of the game speaking to a NC assistant coach, who then told a KC assistant coach that the celebration was "classless."
According to the report, NC players came out of the locker room," and both witnesses and officers said they appeared "very angry and wanting to fight," something that Navarro College Athletic Director Roark Montgomery doesn't deny.
"Our players I'm sure were having words with some of the Kilgore fans. I've seen some of the reports that say Kilgore students or fans did not approach our bench area, but they did," Montgomery said.
The Kilgore College report says police officers told the players to go back to the dressing room. But that's when, the report says, a NC assistant coach began blowing a whistle, and NC players began coming back out of the locker room.
"I think is one of the more asinine things that said it could have been almost a pre-planned signal, and I assure you that that was not the case," Montgomery said.
A KCPD officer said he was trying to get the players back into their locker room when a NC assistant coach came up behind him using loud profanity towards him. The assistant coach then got between the KCPD officer and these players but was not doing anything to get the players back in the locker room. The KCPD officer said one of the players made the comment, "You wanna' go at it then let's go." That's when the KCPD officer began spraying pepper spray at the individuals.
The police chief says that the female NC employee should have been removed from the gym when she began using profanity at KC employees and others in the stands during the game.
"Her removal may have deescalated what took place later. This would follow suit for anyone who exhibits this type of behavior," the police chief wrote. "While we keep our fans and staff in check, there is a reasonable expectation that visiting teams do the same. There were enough witnesses that saw the behavior being exhibited by the NC employee that one would expect the NC staff would have done something about it rather than letting it continue."
The police chief also wrote that there will be additional security during rivalry games, and the college needs to install cameras in the gym.
Navarro College president Dr. Richard Sanchez said he is extremely disappointed with the report, saying there was no reference in the report to the information the Navarro College athletic director provided to KCPD.
"It disappoints me because the report appears to be a cover-up," Sanchez said. "It appears to be one-sided, and it is not a balanced report and it does not address the facts."
Sanchez is most upset that neither set of investigators contacted Montgomery, who was with the players when the situation occurred.Montgomery says he is glad the incident didn't escalate further, but has one nagging feeling about the reports."It seems like they take no culpability or responsibility. And it's like the old adage, I guess, I think it takes two to tango, you know," Montgomery said. "I mean, we didn't create a disturbance in and of itself by ourselves."
Navarro College says it plans to conduct its own investigation, but has continued its spring sports schedule with Kilgore College as planned. They say relations are strained, but professional.

Muddy Waters can't get no grinding – but that's hardly a problem, given the strength of this sweet early 70s set! The album marks Muddy's return to more basic Chicago blues after his funky electric period on Chess – but the set's still got some of the trippier touches of a few years before – laid out in a much more spare, basic way! The guitar has a weird quality at times – possibly from the way the electric piano comes across at points – almost a bit like Sun Ra's rocksichord, with all the freaky fuzz that might imply! The harmonica almost feels electric too – and all three instruments come together with a nicely offbeat quality that's really head and shoulders above the usual from the Chicago scene. Titles include "Funky Butt", "After Hours", "Garbage Man", "Love Weapon", "Muddy Waters' Shuffle", and "Mother's Bad Luck Child". (Sealed original pressing!

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- Fewer Ohioans are going into business for themselves these days, with the number of self-employed in the state at its lowest level since 2001.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/ZJwb9n ) reports that Ohio's level of self-employment is one of the lowest in the nation.
The newspaper says it's declined partly because traditional self-employment industries such as construction and real estate were devastated by the recession and have been slow to come back.
Also, some economists say the state's economy and job growth is concentrated in fields that are not ideal for self-employment.
Of the more than 5.5 million people employed in Ohio, only about 5.6 percent of the workers are self-employed. That's a lower rate than all but eight other states.

Friday afternoon the DNR sent out a tweet and press release reminding folks about this year's wolf hunt. It said there are a limited number of licenses, and the hunt will be first come, first served -- starting August 3.
However an hour after News Ten's Brian Johnson called about the release, it was taken down.
A spokesperson said the department is "currently reviewing the Aug. 3 date for license sales to make certain" it has the "capability to meet the considerable interest among hunters."
"Given that it's been decades since there have been any kind of hunting of wolves in Michigan, we don't know at this point exactly how much interest there is going to be in buying licenses and for people to go out and participate in this hunt," said Steve Beyer, a spokesman and researcher for the DNR. "What this wolf hunt is designed to be is a very limited hunt. We will see how effective it can be and it is not designed to have an overall impact on the wolf population."
The DNR is allowing up to 1,200 people to try and kill up to 43 wolves.
LIcenses cost is $100 for Michigan residents, and $500 for non-residents.
"We hope that this will be the first and the last hunting season on wolves in Michigan," said Jill Fritz of Keep Michigan Wolves Protected.
Just the idea of a wolf hunt has the group upset.
"There's no reason to have it so why have it?" said Fritz. "The DNR has not produced a single shred of scientific evidence to show that a hunt is needed. State law already allows problem wolves to already be addressed."
Wolves were removed from the endangered species list 18 months ago. At last count there were 658 wolves in Michigan.
The DNR says regardless of your opinion, "it's encouraging to see that people do care about wildlife. That's encouraging that people want to come out and want to have a say on wildlife and have the interest enough to get involved with how their wildlife is managed," said Beyer.

Dallas, Part 1: From AfarBy Edward McPherson
Today marks the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. With all eyes on Dallas, it seemed fitting to re-run one of our favorite pieces from 2012, an ode to the city and its complicated legacy.
Between 318 and 271 million years ago, the ancient continental core of North America butted against what would become South America. Land folded and faulted; mountains were born. Then what would become the Gulf of Mexico opened, and inland seas washed the peaks away. It pays to remember there are mountains beneath Dallas. The tops may have eroded, but the roots remain buried deep.
Some 165 million years later—in 1841—John Neely Bryan built a shelter on a bluff and called the area Dallas.
One hundred and twenty-two years later—in 1963—John F. Kennedy was shot on that bluff, now named Dealey Plaza.
Seventeen years later—in 1980—J. R. Ewing was shot on TV. Read More

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
it's great location air conditioning
I liked the location so much especially that it's located at the center. Some of the staff are not friendly.
Friendly staff and Good services. Room was clean and quite comfortable. The location is very good, right at the city center and it's easy to reach the other parts of the city and get back to the hotel. The breakfast. Air conditioning. The bathroom. Staff is not fluent in English. Do not know why, but it doesn't feel like a five star hotel, and therefore one could say it's expensive.
The location is in the city center , the hotle is the only 5 Stars hotel in Trabzon . The parking is very diffcult as it is always crowded with cars in front of the Hotel.
Centrally located. Best value for money! The internet acess should be more easier, and please do something with the keyboards they have problems.
the staff are very cooperative and friendly. I felt myself at home among my family member.
I didn't like anything in particular but i guess it's the best hotel in the area and that's all i can say about it.
the hotel location was excellent, near to everything. the hotel assistant manager was helpful, she deducted the amount for the extra bed included by the hotel staff. good value for money. the breakfast was very limited and being repeated everyday. the hotel corridors are dark and does not looks nice.
Hotel is situated near the beach, so nice to have a walk. The staff can help you renting car and it is useful in Trabzon region where th nature is so beautiful. The staff (first day on arrival) was not friendly, not helpful, speechless... No answers to the questions, just "sign here sign there...".. It was a bit strange. Before arrival I called to ask if they provide a shuttle bus (i found in the web that they do), they said "no, take a taxi", even didn't explain where they are located. The breakfast was included in the price, but the staff wanted to pay breakfast apart telling that it was not included. So it took some time to prove their previous conditions and that it is unfair that now they suddenly wanna make their new changes. The problem was resolved but it was annoying and not so positive....
nice hotel , every thing is positive but the way of daily checking minibar is not comfortable .
I arrived late, at midnight, and received a superb welcome and assitance on settling in. Staff helpful, interested and attentive at all times. Most spoke reasonable English. The food was of a good standard, plentiful , well presented and excellent value for money. The Hotel transport service into Trabzon was of great benefit and everyone very helpful. All in all an excellent Hotel. Completely and well satisfied.
V.Sutible for families with kids,free bus shuttel to the airport and shopping center The T.v have 90% of channel in Turkey lounguage and no dvd player
This is new hotel with good staff and clean rooms. A bit far from Trabzon itself but still nice place to stay
Beach & shopping and staff Chq out at ( 12 ) P.m shoud by at ( 2 ) P.m
I have notcıed the excellent servıces sınce I have enter the hotel through the receptıon. we had an enjoyable tıme through our stayıng. locatıon, rooms. servıces and vıews are all perfect and nıce. I recommned for others who would lıke to vısıt Trabson ıs to stay ın Novtotel Hotel. An excellent hotel cross the board
Excellent Room, and amazing services ( Gym/pool ... ) The " valet " person was most unmannered. ( PS : hotel staff was very friendly and nice ). In short as i parked in front of hotel among many other cars, he lost his temper as to how i should move my car to the parking lot. Regardless of the issue at hand, a valet or any staff member should not lose temper and shout at guests, specially when we were talking normally and calmly, he just flipped ! ( Note : Being a pilot, i travel a lot, and i am a regular guest in novotel, in many different countries, and this is the first time a staff member behaves in such a manner, which i find unacceptable ).
Very frankly hotel staff reception was so friendly to us from the day one to the last minute I left, I've also noticed that hotel manager(Mr.Frank) was so kind. Wonderful location specially for honey mooner, mature couple relaxation and for business people and their meeting. The location is ideal for sight seeing I've really found the location of Novotel Trabzon excellent and wonderful, its beauty located on the Black Sea. I guess tourists looking for relaxation would like to use the sea beach, If the hotel management to give little attention to those who sometime would like to use the beach either for swimming or sunning
The location was in the center of town and close to things. Basically a quiet place, except in the middle of the day when they were hammering. Yes! It was under renovation. The stairs were tarped and unsafe to walk on, but we still had to. The sewage smell was gross in all the rooms we had.

Urgent Need to Extend MIECHV Funding: New Report Highlights Potential Impact
Mar 10, 2014
By Stephanie Schmit and Hannah Matthews
CLASP, together with the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), released a report today that highlights the effectiveness of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) program. MIECHV is a federal and state partnership that supports evidence-based, voluntary home visiting programs in every state and will expire September 30, 2014 unless Congress takes steps to extend it—threatening a host of programs that have proven effective for strengthening high-risk families and saving money over the long run. The paper makes clear the negative impact of not extending the program and includes examples of states' use of MIECHV funds.
MIECHV was originally authorized and funded in 2010 for five years at a total of $1.5 billion, with $400 million for fiscal year 2014. In the next few weeks, Members of Congress have an immediate opportunity to extend MIECHV as part of a larger legislative package before the Senate Finance Committee and House Energy and Commerce Committee. Without action, many of the program's key features will be jeopardized including its targeted services to high-risk families; its evidence-based practices that include state innovation and flexibility; and state accountability, coordination, and collaboration.
Home visiting has a strong evidence base, backed by rigorous research that supports the effectiveness of several models at promoting children's health and development and strong parenting skills while leading to fewer children in the social welfare, mental health, and juvenile corrections systems, with considerable cost savings for states. Research shows home visiting can be an effective method of delivering family support and child development services. The programs' outcomes vary depending upon the model used, but similar, positive outcomes have been found across many home visiting models. Home visiting programs can also improve child health and development, increase children's school readiness, enhance parents' abilities to support their children's development, and have the potential to improve family economic self-sufficiency.
The potential costs of not extending MIECHV are high:
- Fewer families in at-risk communities would be served.
- States may have to end their efforts to build statewide infrastructure and promote better coordination across programs.
- The opportunity to expand the use of evidence-based program models would be lost.
- A significant opportunity to further build the evidence base for effective home visiting programs would also be lost.
Congress must take action now to extend funding for MIECHV, which makes a difference for some of the most vulnerable families and communities in the country. Extended funding will ultimately save taxpayers money through decreased health care, remedial education, and other public costs, and increase family self-sufficiency. Investing in a program that works and makes a difference in the lives of so many children and families can help ensure that they have the support they need to face the negative effects of their current situations and grow and thrive.
Join us and our fellow home visiting coalition members in a day of action on Wednesday March 12 to let Congress know the importance of MIECHV for children and families. On the Day of Action, please call your members of Congress and post your support for MIECHV on social media. Also join us for a twitter storm from 2pm-3pm ET using #homevisiting.

Art Alliance
The Art Alliance is an organization open to all individuals interested in the fine arts. Our goal is to bring art to the campus and community while supporting and encouraging students interested in the visual arts by: sponsoring trips to art institutions; displaying artwork by the group (who can be art and non-art majors and do not necessarily have to be art-educated or skilled) in the form of murals and the Arts Common Hour; bringing speakers to the campus; providing workshops and other artistic outlets to all students; and participating in other art programs.
The Alliance also helps the campus community with projects by supplying the creativity and artists to get the job done (we do a lot of face-painting!). This provides opportunities for both majors and non-majors to become more familiar with the artistic world around us, as well as inform students of various art-related career opportunities. We seek to enrich the campus and stimulate creative drives while bridging gaps between departments and social groups.

great for phone calls, awful for web browsing and texting.
Verizon's customer service is 2nd to none. I broke 5 droid 2's and they replaced them with no charge. Didn't even go into the store, I called
Them over the phone and they just shipped me a new one. Keep I mind I didn't have phone insurance at the time. So they do care alot about their customers. Although I must point out now I bought apple care but I haven't broken my iPhone once yet and I have never used a case... So I can't say if they would do the same for an iPhone, but I would go to apple instead of Verizon anyways if something happened.
.002 dollars is 20 cents...i.e. 100 (cents in a dollar) divided by .002 equals 20 cents. In turn he would pay $.20 per kilobyte or $7,179.20 for his 35,896 kilobytes of data used.
.002 cents (what he was charged per kilobyte)
here's a break down
.002 * 10 kb= $.02
.002 * 50 kb= $.10
.002 * 100kb = $.20 (what he was charged per 100 kilobytes)
so 35896 divided by 100 = 358.96
358.96 * .20 = $71.792
in conclusion he looks like an idiot to all his bloggers.....or i'm a math idiot too
its quite confusing but I see where he's coming from after watching it a second time. so I was a math idiot at first also. .002 cents or 2 hundredth of a cent would take 100 kb to equal 1 whole cent though mathematically on a calculator this doesn't happen. 100 * .002 comes out to 20 cents, but had he paid that amount, his actual bill would have been $3.5896 or $3.59 since he would be paying a penny for each 100 kb used.
0.002 dollars is 0.2 cents not 20 cents.
Here is the issue with your math:
.002 * 100kb = $.20 (what he was charged per 100 kilobytes)
that should not be a dollar sign because.. remember.. we are still at CENTS when we are multiplying .002 * 100kb.
.002 cents * 100kb = .2 cents per kb, NOT $.2 per kb
so 35896 divided by 100 = 358.96
358.96 * .20 CENTS = 71.792 in CENTS
