DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I read your article on iron-deficiency anemia. I have been treated for it for two years and have not had any improvement in how I feel.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I read your article on iron-deficiency anemia. I have been treated for it for two years and have not had any improvement in how I feel.
I am seeing a specialist, who gives me a shot of Aranesp about once a month, when my hemoglobin result is low. At first, he prescribed iron pills, but they caused extreme itching. They were discontinued. The Aranesp is rather expensive. I feel no difference after getting a shot of it. I am tired and sleep quite a bit. I have been a night owl all my life. I am in bed by 2:30 a.m. and sleep until 10:30 a.m., which gives me eight hours of sleep. After breakfast, while reading the paper, I fall asleep until 2 or 2:30 in the afternoon. Sometimes I am so tired that I lie on the bed and sleep until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. I am a diabetic and take 10 different medicines. I would appreciate your giving me any advice that would lead to a cure for my anemia.
Not only do you take 10 medicines, you have five doctors. I believe there is a communication gap amongst you and your medical team. You should talk to your primary care doctor, who is the captain of your medical team. He or she can explain why you're being treated with the medicines you're taking, and the primary care physician can take a careful look for the cause of your great fatigue.
I don't think you have iron-deficiency anemia. Aranesp is a medicine that stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells. A red blood cell deficiency is the definition of anemia. An iron lack is only one cause of it. Aranesp is used for anemias often brought on by kidney failure or by chemotherapy treatment for cancer. Both can slow the production of red blood cells by the bone marrow. This drug and similar marrow-stimulating medicines are not given to the point where the red cell deficiency is completely corrected; they're given to restore the red cell count to a level where symptoms are minimal and blood transfusions are not needed. Used too often, they can cause clots in blood vessels and can lead to serious heart problems.
Your tiredness could be due to an underlying illness like kidney failure. A discussion of your problem with your primary care doctor should clear any misunderstanding.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a 69-year-old man with hypertension. I keep track of my pressure with a home automatic readout pressure monitor. It has been checked at the doctor's office. Why is the blood pressure in my right arm consistently 20 to 25 points higher than that in my left arm?
A 10-point discrepancy between the readings in the two arms is normal. Some even consider a 20-point discrepancy acceptable. (A few say 40 points is OK.)
Your difference is at the limits of normal. The lower reading can indicate a blocked artery in that arm. You should inform your doctor of this.
The higher reading is the official blood pressure reading.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Are there any dangers from oral sex? My husband desires it to meet his needs. I am willing, so long as there is no physical danger.
— Anon.
A partner infected with syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes or human papillomavirus can transmit those infections by oral sex.
Oral sex with a known healthy partner carries no dangers.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have two questions. After looking at my CT scan, my urologist told me I have some small cysts in my left kidney. He said that, at my age (91), I have nothing to worry about. Is this true?
After breaking a bone in my foot, my doctor suggested I start taking Centrum Silver. Could this medication cause constipation?
You can trust your urologist with as much faith as you would trust Honest Abe Lincoln. Those small cysts are not going to bother you one bit. They're not going to make you sick or shorten your life. They're "incidentilomas" — incidental findings that have no bearing on health.
Centrum Silver really isn't a medication. It's a multivitamin, one that contains all the important vitamins as well as many minerals, including zinc and calcium. It has vitamin D, which is so essential for calcium absorption. Perhaps your bone break came about from osteoporosis and your doctor made the suggestion to take this preparation to stop osteoporosis from worsening. The pill shouldn't constipate you.

In school, I've been teaching the students about Carol Dweck's growth mindset: the idea that we actually get smarter and train our brains to do so by facing challenges believing that we will be able to meet them, that we will be able to learn from them and eventually to gain the skills required to succeed and excel.
It helps in math.
Then it started connected with a bunch of other things in my brain:
- Thor Ragnarok. He's a bit meat-headed at times, but Thor literally runs straight at whatever problem he faces, even after the goddess of death crushes his mighty hammer. As hard as it is, we grow when, like Thor, we run at problems–believing that we will be able to overcome, even if we aren't sure exactly how.
Now, this is very difficult advice to take myself, but still. Running away from problems–like Loki–breeds only fear and a smaller world.
2. Growth mindset also reminded me of the Christian virtue of hope. Rather than succumb to defeatism or despair–which I can prone to–we hope in the future. Pope Benedict XVI said, "To have Christian hope is to know about evil and yet to go to go to meet the future with confidence."
That's it. Those are my connected dots of the day: Growth mindset, Thor, hope. Funny how truth from different sources overlaps. Truth is truth.

There are a few key ways to make sure you are not being taken for a fool when you head out into the world of auto mechanics. Though they have gained a relatively poor reputation in the past, things are looking up. One of the reasons for this is the quick exchange of information over the Internet. With many shops having websites, as well as bloggers taking the world by storm, it is much easy to find a reputable mechanic in your area. Often you will stumble upon expert opinions for your very issue and you can figure out the best place to go for a solution.
As with any business, the loyalty of the customers as well as the employees often shows the honesty of the mechanic. It is difficult to trust a mechanic shop with ten new faces every time you stop by. In addition, for the mechanics, seeing the same faces will create a responsibility on their part and they will not want to disappoint you. This circle of loyalty is a key part of keeping respectable business afloat. The best way to find a business with this atmosphere is to ask around. Ask friends, family, and neighbors if they like their mechanic and how long they have been going there. If you find any loyal customers among your inner circle that is where you should begin investigating.
If you do not have any trustworthy referrals with San Diego car repair information for you to run with, your next best bet is to look online. Blog sources can be an integral part of discovering the honesty of a mechanic. One source is CarTalk.com, which has surveys and comments from people across the country. If you find an affordable mechanic in your area, check them against any blog posts you might find to paint an accurate picture of how they run their business.
Calling mechanics before you choose their services is always a good idea. The quality of customer service and the amount of time they spend answering your questions is a good gauge of how they treat their customers. You could always ask them a few questions about how they conduct their business such as how long they have been open, how many employees they have and about how long they usually stick around.

Day of struggle against smoking - an opportunity to live without cigarettes
World smoking day was established in1987 by the World Health Organization (WHO), and this day is celebrated every year on 31 May. WHO established it not just so, but in order to attract people's attention to such an acute social problem as smoking, and to acquaint them with all the terrible consequences of tobacco dependence. This is the first ever epidemic that can be prevented, and healthcare is actively fighting to ensure that such a huge problem disappears once and for all.
According to WHO, about 25 diseasesdevelop or exacerbate this pernicious habit, and every tenth person in the world dies of it. On the day of the fight against smoking, people in a variety of ways try to convey the necessary information that this is not just a harmful, but a deadly habit.
The incidence of lung cancer is steadily increasinggrows, and the likelihood of this disease in a smoker is 20 times higher. Do not forget about angina pectoris, stomach ulcer, ischemic heart disease, brain diseases, which in most cases are associated with smoking. Are not yellow fingers and teeth disgusting, a gray complexion, and even the smell of tobacco from a man?
On the day of the fight against smoking, many actions are held with the use ofm of visual materials, at the sight of which the desireSmoking should disappear for any sane person. Many actions are held to explain the consequences of smoking for women and girls who show a terrible example to children or harm their bodies, which will affect the health of future children.
Deeply mistaken are those people who do not smoke andbelieve that the day of the fight against smoking has nothing to do with them. But what about passive smoking, which is no less harmful than active smoking? A non-smoking person sniffs tobacco smoke daily, being in public places, passing a smoking company, walking in the park and even being in his own house. And passive smoking can also lead to fatal diseases. Know, participating in the fight against this addiction, non-smokers not only help smokers cope with this problem, but also take care of their health at the same time.
You can not remain indifferent to the adolescentsmoking. The day of fighting against smoking is an excellent opportunity to help children who have already embarked on the wrong path, to reconsider their goals and priorities in life. Parents who smoke in the presence of their child, force him to establish himself in the mistaken opinion that a smoking person looks more solid, it is easier for him to attract attention to himself or to assert himself in the company. This is not true, but the child, for whom parents are a model of behavior, does not know about this.
Today it is strictly forbidden to sell tobacco products to under-age children. But do not be fooled, thinking that the child will not find a way to buy cigarettes.
Try to spend a day without tobacco, along with those who need help and support, who want to get rid of the terrible dependence and enjoy life without cigarettes.

Cataracts are made up of proteins in the eye that grow together and create a 'smudge' that is looked through. This area begins to grow to the point where vision in that eye is distorted. The three types of cataracts differ by what causes them. Nuclear cataract is part of aging and is mostly natural. Diabetes, as well as farsightedness, forms a cataract in the back of the eye. The third type of cataract is called cortical. This type of cataract begins in the center of the eye and extends out, like the spokes of a bike.
There are currently two choices in dealing with cataracts if just living with them is not acceptable. The first is to get glasses with a stronger prescription. This 'fix' is just temporary fix since the cataract will overcome the new prescription. The second alternative is through surgery. The doctor will remove the old, damaged natural lens and replace it with an artificial lens. The odds for great improvement are high and it is a relatively easy procedure.
One hundred years ago, there was no choice when our vision failed. Advances in the health field have made restoring sight to a cataract sufferer a reality. It marks an achievement that man no longer has to sit idly by while disease ravages the body and limits mobility. If an artificial lens now can do so much, just think about what the future holds.

Dying/painting wedding shoes, please help!
October 2017
Hello all. I have a pair of beige polyester satin ballroom dance shoes that I would like to dye or paint but I'm unsure of how to begin or what paint to choose. As I understand it, I cannot dye the shoes because I can't immerse them in hot water and because I'm starting from a beige and not a white. My next thought is to paint them. I'd like them to go from beige to a blue gray color. Do I have to take the beige into account when mixing the color or will the color just go right over the beige without being affected? I'd like a blue gray with some pearlescence. What colors and products would you use and how? Obviously I need a blue, but which one? If probably need something to lighten it with and possibly a gray or pewater color to add back in. From playing around with rit dye, I've discovered that blue and purple can make the blue gray but the results aren't consistent. Any advice, product info, guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much.
October 2017
There are a lot of things going on here. You want pearl, that can only be done with paint. The beige is not going to make a huge difference but should be accounted for. I would use dye na flow and pearl ex. White dye na flow, pewter dye na flow, pearl white pearl ex. and a bluye that you like, are what I would use. Azure Blue
dye na flow is red biased and Cerulean 815 is red biased. It depends on what kind of blue you want. It sounds like you want red biased, so I would choose Azure.
Dye na flwo will sink into the satin, and won't fade, which is an advantage you would have over using dye. It should sink in and be very even. I wouldn't worry about the beige at all.
November 2017
Thanks so much! I do think I'm leaning towards the red biased. I'm really going for a light blue grey (if I could attach a pic, I'd show you) color. I've even thought of playing around with adding gray to periwinkle. As I'm trying to figure out the proper mix, should I test it out in white Satin that I have and assume it might be a bit darker with the beige? Would setting the dye with a hair dryer or heat gun be ok?
November 2017
Also, any recommendations for how it should be applied? Brush, sponge, spray, etc...? I bought some wool daubers but not sure how good they are for near the soles or for getting even color. Thanks again!
November 2017
Sponge brush or spraying are probably best. Testing is highly recommended even on something lighter. It will look largely the same, but will be dulled a bit. Either Hair drier or heat gun i s ok. be careful not to scorch with the heat gun. Patience is key with a heat gun.

Our childrens flood pack is fun and easy to follow for children and young people so they can plan and prepare for future flooding helping children to contribute towards their household's and community's resilience.
Click here for our Children's 'Don't be scared, be prepared' pack
With more than 5 million properties at risk of flooding in the UK, flooding is listed as one of the most serious 'natural' hazards on the National Risk Register. Although children are often described as 'resilient' and are seen to be able to 'bounce back', not involving children and young people throughout the planning and preparation process could leave them vulnerable during such situations.
Children can be greatly affected both during and after flood events. The recovery process is known to take months, even years in some cases and the disruption can have unforeseen affects on a child's life. They can experience a period of uncertainty and familiar surroundings and routines can become disrupted. The affects of flooding can make children feel scared when it rains, isolated and worried about future flood events. They also see adults under great stress and strain and witness the extensive damage that flooding can have.
Flooding can have the following impacts on children:
- Temporary loss of home
- Relocating, and in some circumstances more than once
- Loss of possessions
- Lack of school attendance due to closure
- Friendship networks disrupted due to school closures and relocation
A 2016 Save The Children / Lancaster University report acknowledged that currently in England and Wales there is no systematic or statutory flood education programme in schools (or in the wider community). However, learning in school about flood warnings, how to make a flood plan and flood risk was identified by children in the report as a key priority in helping to build their resilience. Children should be given more information before, during and after a flood so they know what to expect, are able to prepare and are aware of how they can contribute. Incorporating children in the flood planning and preparation process could potentially improve and contribute towards the household and communities resilience. For example, one way of including children could be something as simple as having a blank personal household flood plan. Filling this in would ensure they understand the process and allow them to feel in control, empower them and reduce uncertainty.
Newground's 'Don't be scared, be prepared' pack has simple yet vital information such as:

When: Thursdays-Sundays. Continues through Nov. 6 2016
George Brant's 2012 one-hander about an air force pilot grounded by pregnancy, then transferred to drone duty takes a well-worn topic, the psychic damage wrought by military conflict, and finds something new to say by focusing on the ways battle has changed since the advent of remote-control air strikes. In particular, Brant explores the alienation of fighting a war as if it were a video game and the strain of living a life that consists of 12 hours of stalking and killing followed by 12 hours of domesticity—as Brant's protagonist, the Pilot, puts it: "It would be a different book, The Odyssey, if Odysseus came home every day." Director Lexi Saunders has fashioned a spartan production that depends entirely on the show's lone actor, Amber Kelly, to engage and unnerve us, something she does with remarkable power and grace. Through it all Kelly keeps us in her crosshairs, and in the process she, and Brant, open up our eyes to the fresh hell that is postmodern warfare. —Jack Helbig

David Beasley said in an interview with The Associated Press this week that 19 countries are now in "protracted conflict" - which is "more conflict than we've ever had" - and 80 percent of the World Food Program's funds are now going into conflict regions.
For many years, he said, the number of people facing extreme hunger fell despite the increase in global population, but in the last few years the number of people facing extreme hunger has increased from 777 million to 815 million in 2016 - "all because of man-made conflict."
In 2015, world leaders adopted new U.N. goals, first and foremost to eradicate extreme poverty - people living on less than $1.25 a day - in all countries by 2030.
"Zero hunger by 2030? It's a joke without ending the conflicts," Beasley said. "If we end the conflicts, with the expertise and the food sector of the world, we can end world hunger."
Beasley said he has recently visited many countries in conflict - Congo, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Yemen, Syria and Somalia.
"It's a disgrace on humanity, the number of innocent victims of conflict, children, that are starving to death because of nothing but man-made conflict," he said.
When he met Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, whom he called "the grandpapa" of the east African region, Beasley said Museveni asked how much money the World Food Program was spending in South Sudan.
"I said, 'it's around a billion dollars'. I said, 'How'd you like to have a billion dollars for roads and infrastructure, for development in Uganda?'" Beasley said.
"It's just being poured down the tube and nothing to show for it. We're keeping people alive, and that's a wonderful thing, but how long can you sustain that?" he asked.
Beasley said he thinks it was "a game-changer" for Museveni, realizing how much money was not being used for development and to promote jobs and opportunities in developing countries because of conflicts.
He urged powerful nations around the world to work with the United Nations to end conflicts.
"Why don't we put our heads together and have a comprehensive strategy and end just one? And then we'll go to the next one, and then within a year we've ended two or three wars, saved us hundreds of billions of dollars," Beasley said. "Let's end Yemen or Syria or South Sudan. Let's end something."
In the meantime, Beasley said, WFP needs between $6.5 billion and $6.8 billion this year to feed over 80 million people.
While many world leaders have been expressing concern that the Trump administration might withdraw from international humanitarian operations, Beasley said, "now I can make the case with clarity that the United States has not stepped back - it's stepped up."
Traditionally, he said, the U.S. has provided about 30 percent of WFP's budget, but this year he speculates that the Trump administration will contribute 35-40 percent, "up to maybe $2.5 billion."
Beasley said he had argued to Congress and the administration that "if you want to spend another half a trillion dollars on military operations in the United States budget, cut the World Food Program, because the World Food Program is the first line of offense and defense against extremism."
"I said, 'you must understand, this is not just some liberal feel-good program. This program is in the United States' national security interest, and it's the right thing to do."
Over the next 12 months, Beasley said, he's going to be identifying "which countries can do more and should do more."
He named several targets, starting with the Gulf states which he said "ought to pick up the humanitarian consequences of the wars and conflicts in their region, whether you're talking about Syria, Iraq or Yemen."
Next on his list was France, which gives WFP $30 million.
"Come on," Beasley said, "and how many Francophone countries are strategically aligned with France that have serious (humanitarian) issues? They ought to give several hundred million dollars."
He said Russia and China are doing more - but they can both contribute much more.
When countries like the United States, United Kingdom and Germany pick up the tab for humanitarian disasters, which they are doing, Beasley said, "that deprives development and other humanitarian support in countries that are not at war."
"So we're actually rewarding countries for being at war, and taking from countries that need our help like the Sahel region right now," he said.
Beasley warned that if humanitarian and development dollars aren't invested effectively now in the Sahel, which he called "the next battleground," extremist groups including al-Shabab, Boko Haram and the Islamic State are going to destabilize the region.
"And then, you're going to have mass migration, and it'll make what you've seen in Europe the last five or six years look like a picnic in the park," he said.

A text written on a papyrus scroll is a book for eternity… The durability of Papyrus (lat. cyperus papyrus) shows an ols text from 200 A.D.
A doctor with the name Galenos reported that he read over 300 year old book scrolls which were intact and made of papyrus, and modern archeological "Datierungsmethoden" can confirm this. To write like the old Romans
The antique book scroll made its way from Egypt to Greece and then to Europe. The "Book" made of papyrus came as scrolls on to the roman market usually consisting of twenty Papyrus pages (kollemata). People preferred to write on the inside of the scroll (recto) where the fiber bearing of the papyrus was level and therefore it was easier to write on with the writing tube (calamus) or the quill (penna scriptoria).
Only the first pages of a book scroll (left) had fiber that proceeded vertical. This page, the "protokollon", not only stayed blank but it was also used as a protective cover for the scroll. It was always written in parallel columns, which had different width. Scientific and philosophically scripts were always written in wide columns and speeches were written in narrow columns.
Antique authors even wrote over the sticky papyrus paper edges. In the roman times most paragraphs had dots in between individual words this was done to be more legible for readers. Ultimately the book scroll was supplied with a book naval made of real parchment. That is where the name of the author or book title was engraved on so it was easier to find it.

Is Kindergarten Too Young to Test?
In light of recent headlines around standardized testing for kindergarteners in Oregon and New York, the growing voice of opposition against bubble tests is gaining steam.
According to the New York Daily News, multiple-choice questions and bubble answer sheets left New York's four- and five-year-old students feeling "bewildered," and some in tears. In one Washington Heights school, the standardized tests were cancelled for kindergarteners after 80 percent of parents decided to opt out.
"My feeling about testing kids as young as four is it's inhumane," said PTA co-chairwoman Dao Tran in the New York Daily News article. "I can only see it causing stress."
Taking multiple-choice tests based on scripted, highly academic curriculum is not only developmentally inappropriate for four, five, and six-year-olds, Randi Weingarten and Nancy Carlsson-Paige have protested in a recent Washington Post op-ed, it defies common sense. "The standardized assessments being administered to first-graders and even kindergartners in New York and elsewhere have put this issue in sharp relief," they wrote. "What is being required of young children is unreasonable, inappropriate and developmentally unsound."
Sponsored By
Professor Carlsson-Paige, author of Taking Back Childhood: A Proven Roadmap for Raising Confident, Creative, Compassionate Kids, said the assessments don't take into account the way young brains are designed to learn. "Young children have a really thrilling and complex way of learning, they've been learning since the day they were born," she said. "We know from decades of research that young children learn actively, fully engaging their bodies and all their senses."
For kindergarten and early grades, she said, a restricted and didactic curriculum inhibits these natural impulses, and leaves little time for how young children learn best: through hands-on experimentation and play.
Even the National Association for the Education of Young Children, which supports the Common Core, issued a statement of concern regarding how both instruction and assessment will be implemented: "Especially critical is maintaining methods of instruction that include a range of approaches—including the use of play as well as both small- and large-group instruction—that are considered to be developmentally appropriate for young children," they wrote. "Likewise, approaches to assessing young children and the appropriate use of assessment data will increasingly become concerns as the Common Core moves from design to implementation."
Of course, it's important for educators to assess children, Carlsson-Paige said, and understand what they know. But assessment for the youngest should look nothing like a bubble test. "I think in the best world, if we had highly educated and informed teachers, they'd be able to observe children, correct their work, and analyze their work," she said. "They'd have discussion groups with other teachers, they'd note progressions in children's behavior." These kinds of assessments, created by the teachers, inform the teacher of what the child needs, and ways they could promote more learning.
But the assessments in New York in particular aren't meant to understand what the children know, said Carlsson-Paige: They're meant to grade the teachers. "These tests are going to be used to evaluate the school and the teachers, they're not tests being given or designed by teachers," she said. "A high-stakes test tied to evaluation -- you can't do that without creating a scary school environment, where teachers are forced to implement these standards."
Sponsored By
For now, Carlsson-Paige said plainly that the only thing parents and teachers can do to stem the tide is resist the standards set for the very youngest children, and refuse the tests, as the Washington Heights parents were able to do. "I think that opting out is a really good step, but parents should get together -- people should get together and do it in groups," she said.
Bubble tests for kindergarteners may meet short-term goals, but are actually undermining long-term goals. "Even if your short-term goals look good, you're going to get high test scores if you drill kids all day long," she said. "But it's irrelevant to how children learn, how they should be learning, and how you should be understanding their learning in the context of development. It's not taking into account that young children learn in completely different ways."

The media is buzzing; TV schedules all over the place, journalists talking about nothing else, but what actually happened?
Early days of course, but it seems that one man rented a car, drove it along the pavement of Westminster bridge killing people and then jumped out and ran up and stabbed (to death) a police officer.
So one attacker, zero guns, zero explosives; this has to count as a minor effort, possibly even a spur of the moment thing. This is getting off lightly compared to what could have happened. With a modicum of organisation there would have been multiple attackers, they would have crashed PMQs not turned up too late, and been armed with AK-47s. The death toll could have been substantial. We should be grateful muslim terrorists are mainly useless.

Defense Workers Tell Legislators They Won't Move Residents Urged To Voice Objections
By Spencer S. Hsu Washington Post June 21, 2005
Defense workers and contractors said yesterday that a Pentagon plan to shift 23,000 military jobs from inside the Capital Beltway would prompt skilled workers to abandon government employment before disrupting their families' lives.
At a town meeting attended by about 300 people at George Mason University's law school in Arlington, every person who queued up to speak opposed the provision within the Defense Department's national streamlining plan, with several saying it would hamper the military's mission and raise costs by triggering a "brain drain" of employees now working in leased office space in Arlington County and Alexandria near the department's Pentagon headquarters.
The Pentagon's plan was announced last month and cited economic and security reasons for consolidating jobs away from Washington and its close-in suburbs.

OCEANSIDE — Maybe the Murphy High School boys' basketball team will have more success than Oceanside at slowing down the El Camino fast break.
In the San Diego Section 2-A finals Saturday, Oceanside, with its deliberate offense, had little luck trying to slow the Wildcats. El Camino (25-3) ran its fast break to perfection in the second half and turned a 24-19 halftime lead into a 61-35 victory. El Camino plays the Nobles (20-7) in the Division II Southern California regional quarterfinals tonight at 7:30 at Cal State Dominguez Hills in Compton.
Murphy is a slow-down team, but its tactics succeeded in winning its first Southern Section 2-A championship over Charter Oak, 47-29. Though the Nobles shot poorly, they were able to control the tempo and keep Charter Oak from taking many shots.
The Nobles, the Santa Fe League champions, made only 15 of 50 (30%) field goals against Charter Oak. The El Camino defense held Oceanside to only 29.6% shooting Saturday night.

Since the debut of the iPod Touch, touch-screen surfaces have increasingly become integral features of many mainstream consumer technologies. The iPhone further fueled this obsession, and spurred a huge movement of "iPhone killers" which copied many of its features, but it was the touch-screen that captivated consumers. Samsung has done a fantastic job at capitalizing on this, their touch-screen cell phones being among the most popular non-Apples on the market.
On a more luxurious and futuristic front is the Microsoft surface and other larger touch-screen interfaces.
This cluster highlights some of the touch-screen technologies, from cell phones to coffee tables, getting people excited today. The main image in the gallery is of the HP TouchSmart, a $1,250 computer with a touch-screen interface.

Marv Hagedorn District 14 Senator running for Idaho's Lt. Governor
Growing up in Northern Idaho and working in the Potlatch lumber mill instilled strong Idaho roots and values in Marv. Before getting out of high school, Marv volunteered and enlisted in the US Navy where he served 20 years on active duty in the naval intelligence and cryptology community. After receiving a "field commission" for his leadership and management talents, and upon returning to Idaho, for the next 23 years Marv brought those proven skills he learned as a "Navy Mustang" and put them to work in the private sector. Marv managed business operations and sales profit and loss for 2 different international companies and grew one from $7 million to $100 million per year, the other from startup to $3 million per year. He has negotiated and closed international business contracts valued over $200 million and is credited with three U.S. Patents in the creation of a special plasma for semiconductor manufacturing. Marv brings not only his strong work ethic to the table but years of technical, management and leadership experience building and maintaining relationships.
As a 6 year conservative member of the Idaho House of Representatives, Marv served on the Joint Finance Appropriations Committee, Transportation and Defense, Resources and Conservation and Business committees. He now has served in the Idaho Senate on the Health and Welfare, Judiciary and Rules, Resources & Environment, Transportation committees and State Affairs. He has been assigned as the Vice Chairman to many of these committees. Marv also served as a Precinct Committeeman, District Chairman and Ada County Vice Chairman of the GOP Central Committee, Co-Chaired the State Central Committee Rules and Platform Committees and has always been involved in local and State conservative issues.
Marv and his wife Patty make their home in Legislative District 14, in Western Ada County. He is the father of two children, John who served in the Army and Navy in both Iraq and Afghanistan war zones for 35 months and Kristin who he commissioned and is currently serving as a Lt. Both then followed their father's footsteps serving their Nation in the Navy Reserves in intelligence positions. In his spare time, Marv is an avid outdoorsman and maintains an active role in many sportsman organizations across Idaho. He is a life member of the Disabled American Veterans, Life member of the NRA and North American Fishing Assoc and a long time member of the American Legion Post 113.
He is also a co-founder of the Wyakin Foundation, that developed and operates the Academy for transitioning of wounded warriors coming home. This is a multi-tiered mentorship, professional development and education program supporting America's wounded veterans. The program supports our nation's heroes to attend college and specialized leadership development programs at various colleges and universties while assisting them in their transition from military duty to becoming community leaders in the private sector. The Wyakin Foundation has been supported by and named "Best in Class" by the USO.

The CyanogenMod 11 ROM for the Wi-Fi edition of the Nexus 7 (2013) tablet has been released letting users experience the latest CM ROM on their device. The CM team's initial release was a M snapshot build which is considered to be more stable than a nightly. However, with Google rolling out updates to Android 4.4, the CM team have now started developing nightly builds for the tablet.
The second generation Nexus 7 tablet initially ran on Android 4.3 and received the Android 4.4 update along with the other Nexus devices. We had recently seen how to install the official Android 4.4.2 update on this device. Now, let's see how to install the CyanogenMod 11 custom ROM on it.

Like a zillion other people I have had a mobile phone for as long as I can remember…or maybe not quite as long as I can remember but certainly at least 10 years, and like jeans you have to try a few until you find the perfect fit and for me it wsa the iphone. Just in receipt of my newest update in August my phone and i we were getting on famously. Until my beautiful son yesterday dropped it down the loo!! As fab as it is when it works…it hasn't taken much to stop it working as it was only in the loo for a fraction of a second!!!
I can't phone people, I can't text, and because I was off work yesterday I couldn't even email or facebook people. I felt like the world was moving on without me.
I am always telling my husband I could survive without it but, apparently I cant!! My handbag feels empty without it and to top it off…I didn't have it insured.
So, the question from here is…do I buy another iphone? Truthfully I don't know… I'd far rather have the beautiful emu leather jacket which hangs in my shop and winks at me every morning begging me to buy it and make it loved. But if I don't buy the phone and go for the jacket instead. How do I keep in touch with people, my phone I use for email, talking, texting, social networking….when did our lives become so reliant on one tiny item?
To be honest I think I'll have to replace the phone and I'll have to do it before the weekend, with the MTV EMA's on in Belfast this weekend I'm afraid I'll miss something if I don't have a phone….and despite the fact nobody felt the urge to give me tickets for the awards I am still so excited about them…I can't wait to see the style of the rich and famous right here on our doorstep, but equally I can't wait to see wait the ladies and gents of Belfast will be wearing…will they do us proud?? I know a few people certainly will because I dressed them and they looked amazing and I've given them our special Cocorose folding pumps for the end of the night when they've had their toes crammed into their designer heels for far too long.
So, as much as it grieves me, I'm off to order my new phone…. Although I think I'll just try on this leather jacket too… it would clash perfectly with any of the new Mary Katrantzou collection she has designed for Topshop which I have to get my hands on. Thankfully though its not released until February so that gives me time to get over the shock of the price of a new phone!!!

Demikian lah anggapan yang dapat Lebai katakan apabila Nizar yang juga Presiden Persatuan Bolasepak Perak (Perak FA) meminta Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir membantu masalah kewangan yang dihadapi oleh Perak FA.
Mengikut laporan Bernama hari ini, Nizar meminta Zambry mengetepikan perbezaan fahaman politik demi pembangunan sukan bola sepak di Perak.
Petikan berita Bernama:
IPOH, Nov 17 (Bernama) -- Perak Football Association (Perak FA) president Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin today urged the Perak state government to help the cash-strapped association.
The former Menteri Besar urged current Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abdul Kadir to set aside political differences for the development of sports in the state.
"If Zambry decides to help Perak FA...fans in the state will certainly look up to him as a true leader," he told reporters at the Perak FA office here today.
Perak were among six teams that were barred from competing in the M-League next season for failing to meet terms and conditions set by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM).
Mohammad Nizar who was the Perak Menteri Besar when he decided to take over as Perak FA president from Datuk Muhamad Mahiyuddin Abdullah, the Perak Malay Chamber of Commerce president.
"Look at Kelantan, although the Kelantan FA president is Kelantan Umno Liaison Chief Datuk Seri Anuar Musa, the PAS government continues to provide funds for the Kelantan team," he said.
The former Menteri Besar who claimed that he had no intention of relinquishing his post as president, added that Zambry''s statement last week, urging Mohammad Nizar to resign if Perak FA could not settle its financial obligations, as unprofessional.
The FAM who made the announcement on Nov 2, are expected to make a final decision on the suspension during an FAM council meeting that is expected to be chaired by its president Sultan Ahmad Shah, soon.
The six teams were barred from the M-League competitions next season for failing to settle salary of players and money owed to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF).
Meanwhile, Perak PAS Youth has launched a state level donation drive to collect funds for the Perak team. -- BERNAMA
Jadi, dalam hal ini boleh kita katakan bahawa Nizar akhirnya mengiktiraf Dr Zambry sebagai Menteri Besar Perak yang sah dan Barisan Nasional yang diwakili oleh Dr Zambry sebagai kerajaan pentadbir negeri Perak yang sah.
Any constructive criticism and comment that would contribute to fair, frank and informed discussion on this posting to help achieve our national objective will be most appreciated. We need to have more open exchange of ideas on this sensitive but important subject in the context of the national vision and security.

a toony post after very long.. been three years since the jhinga la la trip, and it still evokes such memories!
Saturday, August 01, 2009
moving out.Its 4:30 AM, im back in #502 after unpapcking all my stuff at the new apartment. this place feels so empty and lonely - though i must say the new place looks so cozy now that all my stuff is in there (or atleast im psychologically disposed to feeling that way!! :)
although this was a great apartment, i feel like im dropping behind a lot of baggage - leaving me with this very clean, purged feeling. purged in what way? well...
1) ive dropped behind 14 kilos (wooohooo!!! though i did put on 8 of those here :P - nevertheless net losses = 6 kilos.. yay!)
2) i junked a lot of clothes over the past few weeks. now feel like i just have clothes and things i like, are usable and fit me (as opposed to loads of stuff that i dont need, dont like, dont fit into, and / or will never wear) - helps that the new place has only a smallish cupboard has to fit in everything. and its all fit in really well. also in my over enthu over the past few weeks, have made these stupid shoe boxes i use to keep randon stuff in look quite cool so its all very neat and nice :)
3) such a relief to junk all the stuff well past their expiry date! :D
4) also leaving with my hair 20 inches shorter - and all natural! :D
lots of other stuff thats really exciting, its weird that im looking forward to new house and new flatmates as a 25 year old! (feel like im 15)
what ill miss the most though is padma - the most awesome maid/housekeeper. shes awewsome! wonder what i can do for her that will mean anything... especially over the past few days while packing and unpacking she's told me the story of her life - and i feel so stupid for being such a loser after having had everything i could need.
sleepy. good night. welcome back me. :) (coming soon with new resolutions for a new house - with the first being 3 / week blogging)!
Friday, March 30, 2007
yay! it does workand i'm back.. guess the only person celebrating, is me.. so yay! :)
a quick update..
i graduated (surprisingly) last week and am back at home and all its comforts for 6 whole weeks before i start work (my first proper job - doing shitty intern work does not count)
i did manage to get a job in a company i like.. except that the job is gonna take me far away from almost everyone ive known.. thats the bad part.. :(
two years ago when i left home, i didnt feel too bad coz i thought i was gonna come back to mumbai for sure.. i didnt think i was leaving behind friends and family for too long.. two years was nothing.. and time did fly that fast..
but now im headed to hyderabad (??!!??!!) for heaven knows how long.. i know nothing about the place, am nervous at the prospect of living alone (excited too, of course :-) cant really imagine myself doing grown up stuff like paying bills and employing a maid, cooking for myself and getting a paycheck (THAT im looking forward to :-D )
but basically, i cant imagine myself as a grown up.. seems like just yesterday i was at the iim indore gate on my first day and the guard asked me whether i was old enough to be a student there "Madamji, aap toh bahut chote lagte ho.. yahan sab bade log aate hai! :P" (sure he wont be saying that now :P )
but, im sure i will be fine.. ive always been watched over very well :)

second year...whats second year at iim i about?
for me,
its about this feeling of comfort and familiarity, knowing the campus in and out and still feeling lost among the sea of new faces...
its about learning for learnings sake and not coz i have to..
its about being so used to late nights and last minute submissions that panic attacks are down to an all time low...
its about knowing that i am in a position of responsibility where i can make a difference...
its about being so used to the people around me that they seem natural extensions to myself.. i honestly find it hard to remember a time i did not know them..
its about a whole bunch of erstwhile idiots suddenly seeming grown up and mature...
its about still making a lot of mistakes, but handling them a wee bit better...
its about thinking a lot, lot more about life and what i would like to do with it...
its about seeing the campus so beautiful and green in the rains and knowing that its probably for the last time that im gonna see this...
its about falling in love with a city i didnt care a tiny bit about less than 2 years ago..
its about lots lots more......
'm lovin' it!!
Wednesday, May 24, 2006
record...just want to record the making of my first movie (nothing hi fi just moviemaker! :P), but im pretty kicked about it (and i think its come out quite ok! :D)
a fortunate few (:P) will get to watch it at the iim indore alumni meets all over the country on 27th...
this means, so far this summer i have designed/made (by designed i mean worked on it from scratch):
4 brochures
1.5 movies
1 newsletter
1 invitation
0.5 handbook
along with scores of templates, motivational notes (:P), ppts......
i think its a sign.... i think my career lies in media/design/advertising.....
why else would i get a design job during my internship in a bank as an MBA student!

Planetary Penetrators for Sample Return Missions
Truitt, Chad
MetadataShow full item record
University of Washington Abstract Planetary Penetrators for Sample Return Missions Chad A. Truitt Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Robert M. Winglee Earth and Space Sciences Sample return missions offer a greater science yield when compared to missions that only employ in situ experiments or remote sensing observations, since they allow the application of more complicated technological and analytical methodologies in controlled terrestrial laboratories that are both repeatable and can be independently verified. The successful return of extraterrestrial materials over the last four decades has contributed to our understanding of the solar system, but retrieval techniques have largely depended on the use of either soft-landing, or touch-and-go procedures that result in high ΔV requirements, and return yields typically limited to a few grams of surface materials that have experienced varying degrees of alteration from space weathering. Hard-landing methods using planetary penetrators offer an alternative for sample return that significantly reduce a mission's ΔV, increase sample yields, and allow for the collection of subsurface materials, and lessons can be drawn from previous sample return missions. The following details progress in the design, development, and testing of penetrator/sampler technology capable of surviving subsonic and low supersonic impact velocities (<700 m/s) that would enable the collection of geologic materials using tether technology to return the sample to a passing spacecraft. The testing of energy absorbing material for protecting the sample, as well as the design evolution and field testing of the penetrator are discussed. It is shown through field testing that penetrators at speeds between 300-600 m/s (~Mach 1-2) can penetrate into the ground to depths of 1-2 m with overall structural integrity maintained. Four series of test flights are discussed that demonstrate the arc of the research from penetrator survivability, to successful sample collection and ejection of the sample return container. The potential for metamorphic effects during sampling is discussed along with future work that will assist in defining parameters for selecting appropriate primitive bodies for future sample return missions.

Once again, TMSA students have proven they can excel in STEM competitions, no matter how far away from home!
On Saturday, March 25th, select TMSA Computer Science students attended the Bebras Computing Challenge at Clemson University, in Clemson, South Carolina.
Organized in over 30 countries, the Bebras Computing Challenge introduces computational and logical thinking to all student levels. For our region, Clemson University's newly constructed Watt Innovation Center was the spectacular host for attendees from across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. After a rigorous selection process, TMSA Computer Science students in 6th grade and 7th grade were extended invitations to attend. Students were given a welcome lunch upon arrival, and then were treated to a lecture from Clemson Computer Science Professor and USA Computing Olympiad director Brian Dean.
For this Challenge, we had 11 students and their families to make the long journey to upstate South Carolina. These students are:
Benjamin Division (grade 6th):
Alan Choi
Amanda Hopkins
Falisha Khokhar
Braden Thomas
Noah Koch
Neha Srinivasa
Samara Eguiarte Reyes
Alexandra Kratz
Jack Rissanen
Zofia Hughes
Cadet Division (grade 7th):
Zayd Ali
At the end of the day, TMSA students Falisha Khokhar and Alexandra Kratz finished tied for 2nd place, while Samara Eguiarte Reyes finished 1st place overall in the Benjamin division.
TMSA is extremely proud of these students, and is very thankful for the welcome we received from Clemson University's Computer Science Department. Congratulations to all selected students for this special recognition!

23 Minute Recovery time needed
I heard an interesting fact while listening to a podcast last night, that writers take 23 minutes to get into the flow of writing.
The point being discussed in the podcast was that when a writer is disrupted it takes another 23 minutes to get back into that flow.
I've been working on writing a course for jobseekers, and yesterday was extremely frustrating for me because my phone kept ringing right when I had the house to myself for a few hours and could 'get into it'. And, with annoying frequency, the damn phone rang. Each time telemarketers despite my being on the Do Not Call list.
Anyway, I am really enjoying Jonathan Milligan's 'Blogging Your Passion' podcasts since I discovered them less than a week ago.

This photo shoot is going to be a throwback! Last November we took sibling photography of the Kallabat kids. These siblings are too cute! We love how these fall photos turned out. Take a look at some of their favorites!
We had to include these close ups of these gorgeous kids! Those big brown eyes are so beautiful!
Mom even jumped in for one picture. We love this image with all the fall color behind them!
Thanks Kallabat family!
