This is a question many people might have, who have been smoking for most of their lives. It's true that smoking tobacco – whether it's in the form of filtered cigarettes, pipes or cigars – is responsible for most cases of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Even if you don't smoke, you can be at a higher risk of developing COPD as you get older if you've been around people who smoke for most of your life. Pollution in the air can also be a culprit, if you've lived in an area with a lot of air pollution for many years of your life. In any case, you shouldn't ignore the risk factors or the signs and symptoms of COPD. COPD is a serious disease that will cause your quality of life to go down, and will affect all areas of your life.
It's a progressive disease, which means it can quickly worsen over time. How quickly it worsens depends on how you're treated and how well you take care of yourself after diagnosis. Unfortunately, many people either don't recognize the symptoms right away, to get a proper diagnosis and for treatment to begin. This leads to the need for more medication, because the diseases has usually advanced into the severe or moderate-severe stage by the time they are finally diagnosed.
What should you watch out for, to make sure you don't have COPD? Here are a few of the main early signs of COPD, which usually show up soon after the disease has developed into beginning stage. If you're experiencing these symptoms, see your doctor right away so you can be tested for COPD.
You've started coughing up more sputum (mucus from the lungs), and it's lasting for more than 1 month.
The sputum in your lungs is very thick and hard to cough up, and it's been going on for more than 1 month.
You've been having a hard time breathing while doing minor activities, like walking up and down the stairs, or walking to check the mail at the end of your driveway. This can include asthmatic symptoms, like wheezing.
You've been having coughing fits that last for more than 2 weeks after you've had a cold or other sickness.
You're experiencing any of the above symptoms along with chest pain that lasts for more than 2 weeks.
If you're over the age of 40, and especially if you've been exposed to air pollutants, secondhand smoke and if you've smoked for many years, you should definitely get tested if you've started experiencing these symptoms. Call your doctor and schedule a visit to discuss your concerns.
He or she will listen to your lungs themselves, and likely refer you to a pulmonary specialist, who will examine you and put you through the testing process. The tests that are done to see if someone has COPD, include a spirometery test, an arterial blood gas test, and chest x-rays.

Dirty Harry Goes To Iraq
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
-George Orwell
Back in 1979, reviewers liked to point out that Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam epic Apocalypse Now was so plagued with difficulty and confusion (the star suffered a heart attack during shooting and a devastating typhoon destroyed all the sets) that the making of the film paralleled the reality of the Vietnam War itself.
A similar observation might be made of Clint Eastwood's American Sniper about Iraq. Like the Iraq War itself, Eastwood's movie begins by exploiting a historically inaccurate delusion and, then, sustains itself for two hours on the mission to protect US soldiers against the insurgency that arose in opposition to the US invasion and occupation based on the initial delusion.
The film opens with a black screen and a muezzin chanting the Islamic adham, or call to prayer, from a minaret. The words "Allahu Akbar" are very distinguishable in the chant. Islam is very much in the news, especially after the Charlie Hebdo killings, and the phrase "Allahu Akbar" is by now familiar with popular US audiences. Such a subliminal opening felt ideologically heavy-handed to me, intimating an unseen evil lurking in the dark. The narrative quickly sketches in Chris Kyle's introduction to hunting animals, his recruitment and training as a Navy SEAL and how he met his future wife, Taya, at a bar. This leads to an emotional scene of the two lovers watching on TV as the twin towers are knocked down. Then -- wham! -- we're in Iraq and sniper Kyle is confronted with the dilemma of having to shoot a mother and son to protect an advancing Marine platoon.
Any honest skeptic equipped with even a cursory understanding of the antecedents to the Iraq War will see what's going on here. It's not a debatable issue: We know now for sure that Iraq had absolutely nothing -- nada, zilch -- to do with the downing of the twin towers in New York. Dick Cheney's persistent claims to the contrary, the secular Muslim Saddam Hussein, once our ally, was a bitter enemy of al Qaeda. But in 2014, the film's producer, writer and director decided on a clean and efficient plot line that hinges on the highly emotional image of the towers falling. The real Chris Kyle may have absolutely believed in this fictional connection, but a protagonist's delusion is not a defense for emotionally perpetuating such a costly fiction (many call it a "lie") in a narrative film about the war. But, then, that's what "popular" filmmaking is all about, and Eastwood is, if nothing else, a maestro of popular American storytelling. Whether or not one respects such a corrupt decision, the fact is American Sniper is an extremely well-made movie.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
Trigger Warning: This article includes discussion of disordered eating.
I couldn't believe the three numbers before my eyes.
"1-3-9," the scale read, and I got off and danced around — all six feet, two inches of me — a happy triumphant little jig in the apartment I shared with a lesbian couple in Park Slope (the cheapest room I could afford after getting divorced in Chicago and coming to Manhattan for a writing job at the New York Post).
139. 139. 139!
My goal had only been to keep my weight down to 155 pounds, and then when I saw that this was possible, 150 pounds, and then, always having been a competitive person: 145.
To think, the scale had been tipping toward 200 almost five years earlier. At the time, I didn't feel at peace in anything: my clothes, my body or my grasp of what my metabolism had become as I morphed from never gaining a pound no matter what I ate because of my exceptional height to, suddenly, nothing fitting.
Stepping off my scale triumphantly and looking in the mirror at my thin frame, I thought of how impressed everyone seemed with my new look. It was like I was suddenly part of a sorority for the first time in my life. Kappa Kappa Skinny Chick.
"Divorce suits you, Mandy."
"You're looking great."
I stepped closer to the mirror and swept my hair down across the sides of my face, trying to cover the cystic acne that had appeared all along my chin since my period had stopped a few months back.
I had heard this could happen.
It was annoying. Here, I finally had a body that seemed almost model-like, and now my face was the problem.
One of the many doctors that I sought out as I tried to figure out why I could not seem to get my period put it to me quite simply.
"You're pre-anorexic," he said. "That's why it stopped."
I was livid.
Frankly, I had a dangerous (for a hypochondriac) level of access to doctors at the time, having worked at a medical school for years before and profiled various physicians who indulged my various theories on why the end was now nigh for me personally.
After talking to one particularly close MD buddy, I composed this tight lipped with rage little email. When I look back and read it now, it breaks my heart:
I received the blood work results back. The endocrinologist said, "The pituitary hormones are low and the estrogen is low and the gonadal test is also abnormal which shows that the problem is stemming from the hypothalamus but this pattern is quite typical [for women who are pre-anorexic]."
He said that he was not going to order any more tests, which is pretty maddening as my body's hormonal balance feels very much off-balance. I am having crying jags, my hair is falling out, and I very much want to get healthy and make sure that there is not a bigger problem that is going undetected.
One of my closest friends (who is an oncologist at Harvard) said that since I had a good rapport with you, the less doctors involved, the better. He said that you could order an MRI or other tests so to wait to get your opinion.
I would appreciate it if you had a minute to call me. Or if you want to wait until you get the results from the ultrasound that is scheduled for Tuesday, that is fine, too. Thank you.
Do you know what the letter should have said, if I was being honest?
"I'm scared. I don't feel like I have anyone I can count on in my life so I'm trying to get reassurance from doctors instead. PS: I know an oncologist at Harvard."
The ultrasound I mentioned in my email eventually revealed—according to the lab tech who decided to interpret it for me—that I was a classic case of PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome. I read the majority of results on the Internet about this, until I finally met with the actual doctor, who told me that the tech actually had no business diagnosing, and that no, this wasn't what was wrong with me either.
I was simply too skinny. Too skinny and too stressed.
Wisely, she did not indulge my demand for the MRI either. (I remember once convincing an immunologist to perform an entire battery of tests to rule out potential allergens because I had seen two barely noticeable little red bumps on my hands after doing the dishes... so I was pretty certain I had a severe latex allergy like the ones I had just read about in JAMA. Nope. Just too much Dawn Spring Scent was all.)
She instead reinforced the message that my eating was too restrictive (no carbs for dinner, and no eating after 6 p.m.), and it would be in my best interest to eat whatever I wanted instead of counting out broccoli rabe scraps every day at lunch like it was my job.
Furious again, I went straight to Sbarro and ordered a few slices, some breadsticks and dipping sauce. It was heaven. Angry and then pleasurable and then too full and ultimately self-hating heaven. This was a party. I also got ice cream. Then I went home, waited until my roommates were asleep and raided the refrigerator leftovers. Then I ate cereal. Three bowls. I felt sick.
My stomach ached the next morning, and I vowed not to eat all day. The same pattern emerged that evening, and the next. My period still didn't return but all my skinny girl clothes started getting tighter and tighter until they didn't fit at all.
Instead of reducing stress, my new obsession with gaining weight in order to restore my period did the exact opposite. Furthermore, disgusted at my inability to micromanage the entire healthcare establishment, like a cracked-out junkie looking for drugs, I desperately sought solutions beyond the (very obvious to everyone but me) fact that I simply needed to take care of myself and to nourish my soul. Because—that's boring.
I spent $500 on an intuitive healer who prescribed overpriced vitamins that fascinatingly only she and her husband sold in a dirty little store along with some colloidal silver that I promptly Googled and discovered was not only dangerous but could also turn my skin blue. A South African hippie doc whose overpriced office overflowed with folk art and who signed his emails "One" told me, "You have looked everywhere for answers, but you have not looked within yourself."
Alternating my quacks with the occasional legit medical practitioner, I eventually stumbled into the office of an Aetna-covered acupuncturist who had done a "Wellness Day" health fair at the Post, who listened to my nonsense patiently and respectfully, then proceeded to finally get my tightly wound body working again with regular needle treatments to stimulate circulation. Lo and behold, my period—after more than half a year of absence—finally returned.
Having avoided the scale all this time, when I faced it once again, the second digit had doubled. I now saw "162." But I didn't care. I didn't even care that I hadn't been able to kick the binge eating habit I had now developed as my secret nightly companion. I even tried out cognitive behavioral therapy where I was supposed to journal my food, but instead, the exercise made me feel more obsessive than ever.
Track my dinner? You're not the boss of me. I'll eat two instead.
Eventually, I confessed the binge eating to a psychiatrist who made the case for Zoloft. The last time I had been prescribed antidepressants in 2005, I threw them out after a Google search on why I shouldn't take antidepressants. This time, I complied.
The obsessive thoughts actually did wane. While before I constantly felt like whatever thing I tried to not do had suddenly became the most overpowering desire in my life, there was now a softer edge to my thinking.
I even lost a few pounds, and when my doctor friend who had advised me the most during this time came to visit in New York, we went out for cookies and coffee in Little Italy. I told him about all the fractured pieces of my personality I felt I was trying to bring together by not engaging in such extreme behavior, and he was understanding and kind. There were two and a half cookies on our plate left, and he put one of them down and said, as if reminding a child, "I feel full."
I couldn't accept that I was now simply okay just because the binging had stopped. I again fell into an insatiable, addictive pattern of "spiritual" seeking. A private yoga lesson led me to a chiropractor whose sessions included things like magical removal of built-up anger that I had stored in my feet. This doctor told me I needed to get my weight to a "healthy level" and to clean out my blood. This meant: No alcohol, no meat, no dairy, no carbs, no sugar. Just for three months.
I did it, and I saw myself consistently hitting the 150s again, weight-wise.
One trip to Brazil and several times of being told how I wasn't fun anymore led me back to sugar and booze.
Only, I never felt full. Ever.
Becoming single again combined with record levels of partying and personal disregard for my own health and safety began to take a toll on my body.
I was 171 pounds, and this was, obviously, a perfectly healthy number (the only weight that really wasn't was when I was down in the anorexia range), but I soaked up my hangovers with McDonald's and I used cigarettes to curb appetites and stress.
I was on what I would call the Hitting Your Bottom Diet.
It was mid-way through the year that I stopped drinking.
I rediscovered food.
I was now up to 185 pounds.
However, I couldn't help notice that I looked so much healthier than when I was skinnier the year before, which blurred together like one long night, hung over and depressed, with a trail of 3 a.m. onion rings leading from the bed to the trash can on one too many mornings.
At this point, I started to see the fleshy parts of my arms return to the point where a guy I dated once told me I needed to get in shape using some exercises he was going to teach me.
But I was happier.
Tipping the scale at 190 pounds, I embraced the fact that alcohol at least accounted for none of that weight for the first time in my life.
Single and trying to wean back down into the 170s weight wise, I fell back into using cigarettes on and off again as appetite control.
One guy I dated who I told I had just stopped cigarettes sized me up and said, "Oh that's great. So some of the weight is just from quitting smoking and you'll be able to lose that."
Another helpfully chopped up jalapeño peppers and told me they were good to snack on for weight loss.
I got down to 165 pounds and I realized that the less I dated, the less I cared what guys said to me when I was naked.
Also, did I really want to date a guy who would criticize how I looked naked?
In terms of stress, this year felt like a return to the good old days of recently-divorced levels of anxiety. With every area of my life including work, family and friends in drastic flux, I felt like a hamster on a wheel, and my diet absolutely reflected this. A bag of double-stuffed Oreos? Great idea.
My go-to as-long-as-I-can-fit-into-that stretchy black dress stopped stretching. I was back up to 192 pounds. Of course, I knew (and I know) at 6'2", this was perfectly acceptable. What wasn't was the emotional eating and self hating that often accompanied the scale inching upward.
The progress: I recognized what was going on, and I now knew how to use a range of self-care tools to put myself (not my weight) first.
This has been the year I stopped using the scale at all.
Up until this story — and what clued me into the 50 pounds/10 years metric — I did have a general gauge on where I was at, but it wasn't until I stepped on to see 189 pounds that I realized the benchmark I had precisely hit, weight and serenity wise.
When I'm honest with myself, I know that in another 10 years, there will be another metric, another change. But I love how the other barometer that has changed is the sizable (and seemingly endless) measures of which I can give myself self-love and acceptance.
Because a decade ago, it was completely starved out.

Australian girl seeking work in Paris
Hi Everyone,
I am currently in Australia but will be living in Paris from March 21st Protected content . I have never lived in France before so I don't know very much about seeking work. At this point in time, I do not have any form of employment but I am open to anything!!! I am legally allowed to work in France. I only speak very limited French although I am learning.
At the moment I am looking into doing nanning, hospitality and teaching English. I have experience in fashion, retail, sales, and tourism also. Can anyone advise on the best way to seek work in these areas? Or help me to find a job?
I have quite a bit of experience in the fashion industry so I am looking at possibly doing a fashion internship also.
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated!!!
Kind Regards,
Khiani Rooke

Jon Hamm of 'Mad Men' on the Future of Don Draper
'OH MY GOD they have muttonchops and go to the disco.'
We tried really hard not to swoon when we saw Jon Hamm, Mad Men's Don Draper, at Michael Kors's season-two kickoff party Wednesday night. But he's Don Draper, for goodness sake. And, yes, he's just as charming as his workaholic philandering TV counterpart. We talked with Hamm about the upcoming Mad Men backlash, leaping ahead in time, and mistaking paternalism for misogyny.
So what do you think of all this bandwagon-jumping and Emmy buzz?
I'm waiting for the inevitable backlash. You can't have buzz in this country without having backlash. You can't get excited about something in popular culture without the haters coming out. We're about two-thirds of the way through shooting the second season and it's really good.
It can take a while to warm up to the characters on Mad Men. Do you like them?
I love 'em. They are very realistic portrayals of people in their own time. From our perspective, there'd be lots of calls to Sterling-Cooper HR, but that wasn't the case then. I don't see it as misogynist in a weird way because that was the norm. It wasn't coming from a place of, I hate women.
It's like they're taking care of them.
Yeah, exactly. To them, women were their property in a lot of ways, and there's obviously a negative connotation to that but also a very paternalistic protective thing to that. There's a weird back and forth in the sexual politics of the show. They're chasing the secretaries around to find out the color of their underwear, but then he helps her up like they just had a date and, "Wasn't that fun?" I think that a lot of people have responded to that.
What would you want for Draper?
I hope he figures out that life is about being happy and that you need to figure out what that is that makes you happy as soon as you can. Don exists to tell people what makes them happy, yet he doesn't really know what does it for himself. I'd like to see him figure that out and be happy. I don't think it's gonna happen this season. But I hope it happens, and I hope it doesn't leave a trail of sad, dejected wives and children and things. But that's often the case of what happens. I mean, I'm a child of divorce. A lot of my friends are. Sometimes that happens.
The series jumps up to 1962. Was that weird to film?
Well, think about what you were doing fourteen months ago. Maybe you had different glasses, but it was pretty close. So it wasn't "OH MY GOD they have muttonchops and go to the disco." —Jocelyn Guest

An unknown individual had placed a network-disconnection device near the entrance of Ministry of Information, causing fear among the ministry officials as they did not know what kind of device it was and suspected it to be an explosive.
In a press statement, Director of Moral Guidance Department at the National Guard Brigadier Mohammad Al-Farhan denied rumors circulating on social networking websites that a locallymade hand grenade was placed on a motorbike which was parked near the entrance of the ministry. He explained that the ministry officials alerted the National Guard officers about the presence of a strange device near the entrance.
The officers checked the device and discovered that it is a network-disconnection device that is usually placed in mosques to turn off access of cell phones to the mobile networks when inside the mosques. Brigadier Al-Farhan revealed that officers from the Bomb Squad Department checked the entire building of the ministry but did not find any explosives, adding that the concerned authorities have started their investigations to identify the suspect who placed the device at the location.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 130232
IDE subsystem causes infinite hotplug add/remove loop
Last modified: 2013-03-05 22:41:24 EST
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7)
Gecko/20040706 Firefox/0.9.1
Description of problem:
The ide-cs driver may cause infinite hotplug add/remove loop if the
device files for the block devices it is managing are touched before
being mounted. Specifically, mount(1) reads from these device files to
determine the filesystem if the filesystem isn't explicitly given as
an option. Also, hal likes to probe for the filesystem to determine if
the media contains a filesystem without partition tables, specifically
this causes infinite loops (the current hal in rawhide detects whether
ide-cs is used and so avoids to cause this problem).
Notably, this doesn't happen if the compact flash media has no
partition tables (which may be rare, but it's not illegal). Also, this
bug also seems to affect ide-floppy with Zip drives, see
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=109239500600001&r=1&w=2 for details.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. See attached document
Actual Results: The ide-cs causes hotplug remove/add on the block
device representing a partition.
Expected Results: The ide-cs driver shouldn't cause hotplug
remove/add on the block device representing a partition.
Additional info:
Another bug is that the place in sysfs for the PCMCIA (not Cardbus)
device is something like /sys/devices/ide2/... It would be nice to
include these patches which should be in 2.6-mm, and place the ide2 as
a child of the 16-bit PCMCIA devices (this is not happening today even
with these patches)
He does a few things:
- actually use the device model (struct device) with pcmcia
- create sysfs entries for the device
- generate hotplug events
The latter two patches create the network class device for PCMCIA
networking devices, since that is done manually for each device via a
Created attachment 102836 [details]
/var/log/messages logs
This describes how to reproduce the bug
Oh, '# touch /dev/hde1' just before the Oops should be '# remove
PCMCIA card reader'. Sorry about that.
IDE hotplug in current 2.6 is terminally broken. I've been working on
fixing it for about a week and its approaching the point of basic
stability. Even then it cannot fully support sysfs and making it
handle sysfs is a major job that would require full time engineering
resource and a lot of prior upstream discussion and design.
Secondly ide-cs does nothing to deal with hotplug events, you are
discussing a property of the core block layer code with removable
devices where each open causes a recheck of the partition data. Thats
"UPSTREAM" and isn't PCMCIA specific. Deal with it in your HAL design
I suspect.
With my current patches I can rmmod/insmod ide drivers without
crashes, security holes in /proc and so on. I'm now working on getting
them in a form the maintainer is happy about and merged upstream.
Until then its Arjan's call but essentially /proc/ide, and ide
hotplugging of any kind are not safe in the FC1/FC2 kernel.
So if hotplug remove/add is a property of the core block layer code
when rereading partition data, how come I'm only seeing this for block
devices backed by IDE and not USB or IEEE1394? Are you trying to say
this is a bug upstream?
I'm not sure why USB doesn't trigger it. Perhaps that uses a different
approach for reading partition tables. The IDE layer itself has
nothing to do with the hotplug events however. In fact its gloriously
ignorant on a lot of hotplug issues.
One of the problems IDE has is that there isn't a good way to learn
about media changes reliably. So each open assumes the media might
have changed - much like floppy except we don't partition them.
I wasn't clear; I'm implying it's a bug that hotplug events are
triggered from the block layer for IDE devices, not that USB etc.
should also trigger them! That would be a nightmare.
Here's why triggering the hotplug events is a bad idea: from userspace
we do want to open the device even if it's not mounted because we want
to read off the drive_id (serial# etc.) from the top-level block
device and volume_id (label etc.) from the partition-level block
devices stuff before even creating a mount point (the mount point may
include the label). Just look at some of the callouts included with
udev or look at the hal code.
Another general problem is that even though USB Mass Storage devices
has mechanisms for reporting media changes very few vendors correctly
implements it. So, in conclusion, all polling for removable media
should occur from userspace.
Therefore, is it correct to say that these hotplug events from my
PCMCIA Compact Flash card readers is a (upstream) bug? That was my
original question anyway :-)
When the last user closes an IDE device we discard all information
about it. We simply don't know if its the same CF card next open. We
don't even get a media changed error on an I/O because the IDE
controller is in the CF card so it hasn't seen a media change.
So every time you are first opener we will generate a partition table.
This I suspect generates the hot plug events.
Side item - there are two cases to teach your HAL code about for drive
vendor and model where duplicates occur which might be worth knowing
#1 Maxtor in the model and a serial of "M0000000000000000000"
#2 "Integrated Technology Express" in the model/vendor info. h/w IDE
raid volumes all with the same id/serial.
Well, USB and all the other buses (SCSI emulation I presume) does it
somewhat differently [1] and also supports removable media. Since the
kernel is an abstraction mechanism this is bad, it breaks the
abstraction, as the behaviour depends on physical connection mechanisms.
I think by now it's sane to assume that some userspace process is
polling on the devices with removable storage if the use of the system
is desktop etc. (hal does this for Fedora but right now I have to
blacklist the ide-cs stuff, so yeah, it works, but I can't read the
volume label before creating the mount point etc)
I guess upstream agrees here as well cf. the 'removable' file in sysfs
for every block device (which is only an approximation btw), so how
about changing the behaviour in the IDE code?
[1] : btw, why is that, isn't the kernel layered, e.g. partition table
detection should be above the block layer? (I'm just trying to pick up
some kernel tricks on the side, thank you :-)
The IDE hardware doesn't support a change in the way the IDE code
assumes that media can change without warning. I refuse to break that
and let users trash disks without warning just because it gives HAL
some hiccups.
The partition table scanning is a seperate library routine called by
various drivers.
PS: not just ide-cs - all ide removables will do this I suspect - eg
ide floppies, M/O drives
As I've already stated this is not specific to HAL at all - it applies
to mount(1) (when using -t auto), udev callouts and anything else that
opens the device before it's mounted. While this may not have been an
issue in the past, it certainly is now given that the kernel sends
hotplug events and udev creates/removes device nodes based on this.
This is a real problem. Even for mount(1).
To me this seems like a split personality :-). On the one hand the
kernel refuses to poll for new media (which is fair enough), and the
other hand it sends lots of hotplug events if userspace tries to. For
some devices. Either way, hal already works around this issue, so I'll
just shut up now.
Reopening this bug as it is the root cause for a regression in FC3.
I note the following behaviour in FC3 (full updates as of 2005.08.14):
mkdir /var/log/hotplug
touch /var/log/hotplug/events
cardctl eject 0
tail -f /var/log/hotplug/events &
cardctl insert 0 # slot 0 contains cf card
You should see in the log:
add for pcmcia
remove for module /module/ide_cs
remove for module drivers /bus/pcmcia/drivers/ide-cs
add for module /module/ide_cs
add for module drivers /bus/pcmcia/drivers/ide-cs
(pause as pcmcia scripts run)
add for ide
add for block (hdc)
add for block (hdc1)
remove for block (hdc1)
add for block (hdc1)
and I'm not trying to mount the drive or anything. hotplug just seems to
excessively thrash on the adding and deleting of hdc1. here's some more
# ls -al /dev/hdc1 ; mount -v /dev/hdc1 /mnt/cf ; ls -al /dev/hdc1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 1 Aug 14 11:30 /dev/hdc1
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/hdc1
I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or /proc/filesystems
Trying vfat
mount: special device /dev/hdc1 does not exist
ls: /dev/hdc1: No such file or directory
and simultaneously the log shows a remove/add for hdc1 pair. so the act of
mounting causes a remove? That sure is strange.
However, mount specifying -t vfat seems to work, but only because it seems to
beat hotplug to the punch. note that the trailing ls still fails to find the
device, because /dev/hdc1 has been removed by the same hotplug remove/add pair
that you saw above:
# ls -al /dev/hdc1 ; mount -v -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt/cf ; ls -al /dev/hdc1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 1 Aug 14 11:33 /dev/hdc1
/dev/hdc1 on /mnt/cf type vfat (rw)
ls: /dev/hdc1: No such file or directory
Similarly, hdparm -i /dev/hdc causes hotplug to remove/add hdc1
Indeed, the above suggested "touch /dev/hdc1" triggers a hotplug remove/add pair.
What does this break? /etc/pcmcia/ide for one. Though bug 120486 is suggesting
that it should be migrated out of the pcmcia scripts into hotplug. but while
hotplug exhibits this hyper-aggressive remove/add behaviour, that just isn't
going to happen.
This is still broken with a fully updated FC3 as of 2005-10-29.
*poke* *poke* :)
FC3 wont fix. Upstream changes for this did get discussed and will probably get
into FC5, and maybe FC4 as the upstream kernel changes.
It appears this is working now (and probably have for some time), so I've
removed the special handling for ide-cs in hal.
Do you know when in 2.6 this change was introduced? The git history don't tell
me much...
This appears to be the patch
It was done as part of fixing ide_cs handling logic, unrelated to but happening
tofix the problem you see in that case. Hal will I suspect still trigger the
same behaviour if faced with a true removable such as an Iomega or maybe a clik
drive. Actually I've got a Clik I should see if we still handle that right.
Ok we handle clik! as ide-floppy and it correctly avoids duplicate scans because
it has proper media change logic.
Yup, that's here
Right now we only support partitioned media (with the fs on partition 4) but
that's about to change in a release or two...

Bennett, Ben & Wright, Jack – "Tangle" – [Public Eyesore]
Experimental jazz improvisation at it's extreme side. Ben Bennett on drums and percussion which means anything that can be squeezed, banged, dropped or rubbed and Jack Wright on alto and soprano saxophone. Bennett is known for losing himself when performing live, rolling around on the floor, scratching things with his feet, grabbing at what is near him and unaware of what is coming next due to his almost trance state. It's easy to visualize this when listening to these selections. The cacophony is stunning. It's rough. It's edgy. It's mind melting. And it is fascinating. Jack Wright has a tonal quality and control over his saxophones which keeps up with Bennett's drumming but does not take a back seat to the chaos. From subtle rifts to squelching and squeeking bursts where you can almost feel the reed splitting, Wright's sonic explorations anchor the storm while participating in it. These two musicians have performed together in numerous group projects. This duo project lets them shine, playing off of each other as only seasoned pros can do it.

Specialists: Fill 'er up with premium
Not since the rise of managed care in the 1990s has there been such a surge in the acquisition of physician practices by hospitals and health systems. Buffeted by healthcare reform, declining reimbursements, demographic trends, the high cost of capital and other market forces, almost 40 percent of physicians surveyed by the American Hospital Association are considering selling their practices. Unfortunately, many of the last decade's practice acquisitions resulted in substantial financial losses for hospitals and systems, quickly followed by widespread divesture.
Today, hospitals are seeking to employ physicians strategically based on their ability to fill specific gaps. In other words, they are recruiting more specialists instead of the primary care physicians that were targeted during the 1990s. New compensation models tied to productivity and quality care have replaced the unrealistic guaranteed incomes of the past. Theoretically, this should have better aligned hospital and physician interests, but in the race to affiliate lucrative specialty practices some hospitals are sabotaging their projected revenue by insisting on the adoption of their enterprise ambulatory EMR.
These hospitals are finding out the hard way that force-feeding high-productivity specialty practices a traditional EMR will significantly compromise productivity. A government-funded study conducted by MGMA determined that implementing these point-and-click, template-driven EMRs decrease physician productivity up to 15 percent for a year or more. The workflow disruption is so frustrating that 90 percent of high-volume specialty practices, such as orthopedics, cardiology and ophthalmology, ultimately refuse to continue using the EMR.
With a focus on data collection and note creation, rather than usability and efficiency, these enterprise EMRs are designed to meet the needs of primary care physicians. The ambulatory successes touted by enterprise EMR vendors reflect primary care implementations, not specialty practice successes. Lumping specialties into the broad "ambulatory practice," category shortchanges both quality of care and the bottom line. Would you expect the police to catch criminals driving a golf cart? No. Then why expect specialty practices to thrive with slower, less efficient EMRs?
If a hospital refuses to provide an EMR designed for specialists' high performance needs, the fallout can be widespread. In addition to creating a direct hit to the practice's bottom line, the one-size-fits-all approach could result in fewer hospital referrals, imaging studies, surgeries and other procedures.
We're beginning to see considerable pushback from these practices. If a hospital requires the use of an ambulatory EMR designed for primary care, more of these specialty groups are saying, "Thanks, but no thanks" to a proposed acquisition. They're not willing to compromise patient care, reduce their caseloads or suffer financial consequences.
Hospitals must take note. If they want to help specialists, they need to identify productivity-enhancing EMRs that meet the needs of those specialists: flexibility to accommodate unique workflows, minimal click-throughs to quickly achieve desired actions, and a system intuitive enough to be taught within a couple hours – and without downtime. Here's the takeaway: High-productivity specialists are like sports cars. If you want the high performance, you fill them with premium gas…then they're ready to hit the road.

From Lansing, Michigan, USA:
My 13 year old son woke this morning with blood and brown clots in his urine. He has no white cells in the urine, and has no symptoms other than urge to urinate. The doctor did a CAT scan which was negative for kidney stones.
My son is on a insulin pump and usually uses 35-40 units of insulin daily, but about two days ago, I noticed he had used 66 units. Obviously, he had eaten a lot of junk because his blood sugar readings were normal throughout the day. so the insulin was used to cover carbs only. Could this over use of insulin have affected his bladder or kidney function?
I know of absolutely no reason why an increase in insulin dose should lead to the urinary symptoms that you describe. The problem might just possible be due to a very rare disorder due to dihydroxyadenine stones which would not be seen on a CAT scan. However, with no flank pain this seems unlikely. In any case, the problem will need to be solved by a pediatric urologist.

The final decision will depend on the reaction of Ernst Chairman Phillip A. Laskawy.
Although executives close to the pitch said DMB&B's creative and strategy-along with the strategic knowledge of Global Marketing Director and Chief Branding Officer Susan Gianinno-have won over the review committee, the decision will not be made until Mr. Laskawy and other top managers review work that included spec creative.
DDB Needham Worldwide is the other finalist.
Both agencies declined comment and referred calls to Ernst & Young.
Patrice Ingrassia, Ernst director of public relations and advertising, said senior management would review the work this week and a decision likely would come at the end of the week. She declined to identify a front-runner.
This scenario is very similar to the drawn-out Merrill Lynch & Co. review, in which a final choice came down to either DMB&B or J. Walter Thompson Co. Ms. Gianinno, who had experience working on the Andersen Consulting business while at Y&R Advertising, was said to have won Merrill Lynch's favor, but instead JWT won after a final evaluation in which Merrill Lynch CEO David Komansky was said to have had much input.
For Ernst & Young, DDB Needham's creative is said to be more visual than copy-heavy, with a theme about the company teaming with its clients. One executive close to the agency said that concept may have worked well with Ernst's consulting side but the marketer may have seen some difficulties in translating it to the tax and audit services.
An executive close to DMB&B deemed that agency's work as "fresh."
A win of the business would be big for DMB&B following its losing out in the Merrill Lynch pitch. The agency also lost two large accounts, SBC Communications and Gateway, in the past year.
Ernst launched its review in April with about 10 agencies, including incumbent Grace & Rothchild.

Green Jobs and Careers
Service and Conservation Corps are big promoters of green jobs and careers. From recycling, to energy efficiency retrofits, to work on public lands, to solar installation, Corps help prepare young people for work in these growing fields, and often with paid or stipended work experience.
With generous support from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and The W.K. Kellogg Foundation, The Corps Network released a publication in 2011 that illustrates how to prepare young people for jobs, postsecondary education, and careers in a growing green economy titled, A Green Career Pathways Framework: Postsecondary and Employment Success for Low-Income, Disconnected Youth.
The publication was developed with input from 35 stakeholder organizations and 6 federal agencies over 2 years. In addition to discussing broad strategies for creating and implementing successful "On Ramp" programs, A Green Career Pathways Framework also shares several real-life Corpsmember success stories that demonstrate the potential these kinds of programs can have as they lead to careers.

Opinion 94 - 29
[edited for publication]
FEES -- Court Fees (filing fees on appeals on Family Court matters) -- Exemption From (when municipal attorney represents a presentment agency or an indigent spouse in appeals from Family Court order)
CIVIL PRACTICE LAW AND RULES, §8022; FAMILY COURT ACT, §1118: The fee
provisions of CPLR, §8022 are applicable to appeals from orders of the Family Court in juvenile
delinquency proceedings in which the corporation counsel or county attorney represents the
presentment agency or in support proceedings in which the corporation counsel or county
attorney represents an indigent spouse, unless the Court has permitted the spouse to proceed as a
"poor person".
With respect to juvenile delinquent proceedings, you suggest in your letter that such
proceedings are quasi-criminal in nature and as such would not be subject to fees which are
applicable to civil matters. However, such proceedings are governed by Article 3 of the Family
Court Act which grants the Family Court exclusive original jurisdiction (Family Court Act,
§302.1) and, as a general rule, the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law do not apply
(Family Court Act, §303.1). While the courts have described these proceedings as quasi-criminal
rather than civil in nature (In re Gregory D., 19 NY2d 55, 277 NYS2d 675 [1966]; Matter of
David G., 124 Misc 2d 579, 476 NYS2d 758 [1984]) and stated that the proceedings do involve
criminal conduct, the process itself is a civil proceeding (In re Carmelo E., 57 NY2d 431, 456
NYS2d 739 [1982]). Thus, it would appear that these proceedings are to be treated as civil
matters and are subject to the fees imposed by section 8022 on civil appeals.
Thus, the Legislature has expressly provided for exceptions to the fees contained in
section 8022 in two situations where an indigent is represented by a party who might have the
means to pay the fee. Under the accepted rules of statutory construction it must be assumed that
it was the intention of the Legislature that those types of situations not clearly embraced within
the exceptions remain subject to the fee (McKinney's Cons Laws of N.Y., Book 1, Statutes, §240,
p 411; see, Deth v Castimore, 245 App Div 156, 281 NYS 114 [1935]).
July 1, 1994
1. This is particularly true in light of the discussion, infra, concerning the provisions of Family Court Act, §1118 which provide an exemption from the fees upon appeal where an indigent is represented by assigned counsel or a federally funded legal services corporation. We would also note that under section 111-c of the Social Services Law, where a social services district is involved in the enforcement and collection of support, it is required to obtain assignments to the State and to such district of support rights of each applicant for or recipient of aid to dependent children or home relief. In such instances where an indigent spouse is being represented by the corporation counsel or county attorney, it is the municipal government which will actually be receiving most of any monetary recovery and as such it would be the real party in interest in such a proceeding. It is unlikely that the court would allow a municipality to proceed as a "poor person" under section 1101.

Have the Eagles Signed Asante Samuel?
Do I believe it?
Well, the mainstream Eagles' writers have reported only that Samuel is visiting the Eagles first. Another mainstream writer (I believe on ESPN) reports that Samuel's agent has said that the Bucs and Saints are a better fit.
True, it would be a good signing for the Eagles, who also need another safety, a defensive end and, yes, a breakway threat at wide receiver on offense (not to mention a kick returner). What this signing also would do is send a signal to either Sheldon Brown or Lito Sheppard that their roles on the team are changing. What I'm not sure of is what the salary cap hit would be for, when healthy, 3 CBs who have played at the Pro Bowl level in the past. Then again, the conventional wisdom today is that you need at least 4 good corners on your team, so perhaps there is enough work for everyone.
Stay tuned.

Every neighborhood from the docks of San Pedro to the sleepy desert towns of The Antelope Valley, boasts its own small, locally grown act that in other cities, would be headliners. Fare Game is a perfect example of such a band. In the few months that they've been a tangible band, they've played a ton of local shows (as well as two festivals) and quickly become favorites in the local scene. Featuring former members of LightSpeedGo and Kill Radio (among others), this quartet seeps talent and experience from their pores, and with a blue collar work ethic, they are already well on their way to becoming one of LA's premium punk acts. Today, we're pleased to premiere this emerging young act's debut EP, Breakin' Rules in it's entirety! The six and a half track album (ya don't get full credit for "30 Sec Song", sorry guys!) is the perfect introduction! Check it out, exclusively here at Dying Scene, below!

Zion Market Research has published a new report titled "Pulse Oximeter Market by Product Type (Handheld, Fingertip, Wrist-worn and Bedside), by End User Type (Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Centers, Diagnostic Care Centers, Home-Care Settings and Others): Global Industry Perspective, Comprehensive Analysis and Forecast, 2016 – 2022". According to the report, the global pulse oximeter market was valued at around USD 1,684.0 million in 2016 and is expected to reach around USD 2,393.3 million by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 6.2 % between 2017 and 2022.
A pulse oximeter measures the level of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in the arterial blood. It monitors the oxygen level in a patient's blood and alerts if the oxygen levels drop below safe levels. It can detect hypoxia much sooner than the anesthesia provider can see clinical signs of hypoxia such as cyanosis. The pulse oximeter has the potential to act as a diagnostic device in respiratory and cardiac diseases. These devices are essential in places such as hospitals, intensive surgical units where patient's blood oxygen levels are regularly monitored.

By geography, North America dominates the pulse oximeter market owing to the presence of advanced medical and healthcare facilities. The growth in this region is also due to the major presence of key players. Europe was the second after North America in terms of revenue generation. In many European countries, pulse oximetry is mandatory for monitoring patients during anesthesia. The growth in this region was also due to the rising prevalence of hypoxaemia, asthma and other lung diseases. Advanced healthcare infrastructure, higher demand for quality products are other factors which are driving the growth in this region.

The high cost of pulse oximetry has been a significant barrier in many developing countries. Asia Pacific was a fastest growing market. This growth is mainly due to increasing aging population and rising use of pulse oximeter and other medical devices in surgical procedures in hospitals. Furthermore, raising awareness and emergence of health conscious population is expected to foster growth in future. Rising disposable income, favorable government policies are other factors which are resulting into growth in this region. Latin America is another key regional market and is expected to moderate growth in the coming years owing to rising healthcare infrastructure and raising awareness among the people.

This weekend sees three beer festivals on the northern side of Kirklees, all pub festivals, and all ones I hoped to visit yesterday. Due to the help of Arriva buses I managed two, their erratic time keeping meant that the other one missed out.
Both The Shepherds Boy at Dewsbury and the Navigation at Mirfield are both on the same route fom Huddersfield, so it was easy to do the first and then call in at the second. The New Inn at Roberttown is on a different route, and is do-able but circumstances meant I had to give it a miss.
I started at the Sheps, at a festival that I was keen to visit, as it showcased 12 beers, all brewed using fresh - not dried,or pelleted - green hops. Most of them used First Gold hops from Matthew Hall's farm at Brough in Humberside, and the challenge was to see how different breweries would use the same hop to create different beers. As it happened only 10 of the 12 beers were available, but that was plenty to compare and contrast. All the beers were available in 1/3 pint and at £2.50 a pint were a bargain.
All the beers were light coloured with strengths between 3.6% and 4.5%, and all bar one that I sampled being Yorkshire brewed. To be honest a lot of the beers tasted fairly similar, to be expected with just one hop to use, and the character of the beer was defined more by the malts and yeast than the hop. First Gold is one of the more subtle hops as well, so it often struggled to make itself known.
Some of the beers were better, in my opinion, than others. I was particularly impressed by the Rat 'Yorkshire Rat 2014' - full of bitter flavour, and Small World 'Yorkshire Ness' with a very pleasant hop and malt balance, likewise with Riverhead ' Hey Green Hop'. I must admit that I was disappointed with Roosters 'Fresh Hop' which actually used a different hop, this time Phoenix, and seemed to have a strange taste.
After this scientific approach to drinking, it soon became time to go for the geographic approach as the Navvy festival was based on beer from Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, many of which were new to me.
The full list for the festival has been published in an earlier post, so I will just point out some of the beers that I particularly enjoyed. These are £2.80 a pint and all cellar cooled and handpulled by Derek, who certainly knows a thing or two about beer. Jo C's 'Norfolk Kiwi' was good, and likewise Golden Triangle 'Citropolis' - both weakish but with plenty of hop taste. Star 'Solus' was unusual and is packed with Sorachi Ace hops - a bit of a Marmite beer in my opinion. There were plenty of light beers in the 30 or so on offer, but very few dark ones but Grain 'Porter' was a welcome antidote but 5%, Likewise Milton 'Nero' which I never managed to try. Having said that there are a few reddish or brown beers in the range - and most had a more traditional taste should this be your thing. And for those who crave
Oakham beers, both 'JHB' and 'Citra' are available.
Oakham beers, both 'JHB' and 'Citra' are available.
Both festivals run until tomorrow so there should be plenty of time to get down the A644 and sample a few beers that you rarely come across. Both pubs deserve great credit for sourcing the beers and supplying them all in excellent condition and a reasonable cost, I did not have a bad beer all day, despite some not quite to my taste.
