Confidence among U.S. consumers declined more than forecast in July after reaching a five-year high a month earlier as Americans grew more pessimistic about the outlook for the economy and employment.
The Conference Board's index of sentiment decreased to a reading of 80.3 from a revised 82.1 the prior month that was stronger than initially estimated, figures from the New York- based private research group showed today. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists was for a reading of 81.3.
Consumers' views of the economy dimmed as Americans paid more at the gas pump this month than last and as higher mortgage rates threatened to slow momentum in the housing market. At the same time, increased wealth tied to higher property values and stock portfolios are helping sustain household spending.
"It reflects some of the volatility in financial markets over the last couple months, particularly the rise in interest rates," Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Pierpont Securities LLC in Stamford, Connecticut, said before the report. "To the extent that you're paying attention and seeing rates are rising, that's bad news if you're looking for a mortgage or a car loan."
Stocks held gains after the figures, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rising 0.3% to 1,690.48 at 10:15 a.m. in New York.
Estimates for consumer confidence ranged from 77 to 85.5 in the Bloomberg survey of 75 economists. The measure averaged 53.7 during the recession that ended in June 2009.
Six-Month Outlook
The Conference Board's measure of expectations for the next six months decreased to 84.7 from 91.1. The gauge of present conditions improved to 73.6 this month from 68.7 in June.
The% of respondents expecting more jobs to become available in the next six months declined to 16.5 in July from 19.7 the previous month.
The share expecting incomes to increase fell to 15.3 this month from 15.9.
At the same time, more Americans said jobs were currently plentiful -- 12.2% in July compared with 11.3% a month earlier.
Buying plans also improved with more people indicating they intended to purchase homes, cars and appliances in the next six months.

Every minute program should calculate: current minute, hour, day, weekday, month, am/pm.
From these values, program takes appropriate PNG files from WCZ package, and composes them with BG.JPG, generating new image.
If any image does not exist, simply skip it (without error).
Last step is: set generated image as desktop background.
There should be a folder where all WCZ files are stored. "Change Wallpaper Clock" window should list all WCZ files.

Saving Money Through Stockpiling Ammo
Some things I have learned over the years.
If you choose not to reload and you choose not to stockpile ammo you are pretty much left to the whims of the political fancy of the markets and secondary resellers. By planning ahead and thinking through what your needs and desires are you can save a ton of money and some headaches.
When I first began getting involved more into shooting more than 25 years ago I did not give much thought to how much ammo to keep on hand. I hesitated at two boxes of 9mm instead of just one. Personal fun shooting was new to me and I did not really give it much thought. The shelves were all full, FMJ was about $10 for a box of 50. I bought one box, went to the range, shot them all and then realized I was holding a paper weight. That was when the light first came on.
About the time I started getting into guns murder rates in the US had peaked (although we did not realize it at the time). I then participated in assisting with a series of disasters (King riots, hurricane relief, war) that made me give some thought to how I would deal with these problems if I were a victim instead of a helper. Since I was then shooting several guns of different calibers I decided to dramatically increase the amount of ammo on hand to ten full boxes at all times.
I figured that if things were bad enough for me to start shooting defensively then more probably would not help as before I would have time to shoot all those I would be long gone. I still feel that way. I took my ten boxes of ammo and put them in a foot locker and they stayed there for a number of years.
Then the ban years started. There was a lot of fear that effective ammo would be banned. Several states had already banned different kinds of ammo, some that did not even exist like teflon coated armor piercing ammo. Ammo was bought up in great quantity but no where near what it would be in later years. The AR revolution had not yet begun and AKs were still terrorist rifles. SKSs were just hitting the shores and starting to become the go to deer rifles when the gun companies killed off the importation. You could still buy a case of surplus .308 for under $100. Brand name ammo was expensive, higher than it is today adjusted for inflation. I bought a fair amount and before I knew it I had a lot more than ten boxes.
The first big panic I can recall was the pre Y2K run up. Y2K was silliness. I am still confused by what expectations were but .22rf was suddenly unavailable. This had never happened to me before. I don't know if the plan was to subsist on squirrels and rabbits while plinking away or what. I heard later people were planning on trading it like coins. That will be the day. The way people were buying that rim fire you would have thought there was an ounce of gold in every box. A few other calibers disappeared too. They did not come back for a 6-9 months either.
That is when I decided that if the ammo makers were not going to plan for crazy demand spikes I would just go ahead and do it myself. Conveniently it was the golden age of ammo availability too. The AWB had not been lifted yet but everyone had figured out ways around it and everyone was shooting. When it got lifted things really took off but prices stayed really low until about 2006.
TL/DR start here
For absolute bottom dollar I purchased about one years worth of shooting ammo, with another year in reserve. The first year to deal with the shortage the second year to wait for prices to normalize before buying more. You need two years worth based upon what you actually shoot. This includes all the different kinds too. Hunting ammo, SD ammo etc. Not just target ammo. For the useful kinds of ammo the storage is four years worth. I don't believe in holding it for more than four years due to the decline in effectiveness of powder over the years for working ammo. You can always demote it to target ammo.
Calculate what the actual "real" price of what you shoot it. For example before the current ammo run up 7.62X39 Russian was selling for $.20/ rd. This is a little higher than 2006 price of $.11/ rd but inflation and other issues are going to force the price higher. This means I won't buy again until the price drops to at least $.22/ rd. for bulk. This might even be too high if the price could be lower. You have to read the market.
When the price drops buy about half what you need to replenish. I can only tell you if you buy all of it at once then the price will drop the next day and if you buy less the price will then shoot back up.
Wait a couple of months and then buy the rest gradually over the rest of the year to replenish.
Buying during a panic is dumb.
If you have no other choice and you have to buy during a panic then buy from a retailer, preferably one that infrequently rotates stock, like a small gun shop. His prices will miraculously seem reasonable when the shelves are bare at walmart.
Buying from a reseller who bought out walmart is unwise. It encourages them by giving them money to go do it again. But if you have no choice then do what you have to. Best not to get into that situation at all.
Keep a record. Record how much you paid and where you bought it. The exact type is important too as prices vary widely in brands. During a shortage inventory every month to make sure that you are not over consuming. Don't get freaked out and go buy more when the prices are still too high and you are running low. This was all planned for.
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

Old habits...
Buy a box of 50, and shoot 40. The last ten go into long term savings. Never shoot 'em. Give it a decade and you'll have a stash like mine.

Stocking up to me is common sense. If the price is low and you think the price will rise, you stock up.
If gasoline went down to $2.50 a gallon tomorrow, wouldn't you want to buy a year's worth (if it would stay fresh)?
But ammo is a safer bet than gas or oil. Does anyone really think ammo prices will ever be lower that the 2006 price? A severe depression could lower oil prices, but ammo prices would probably go up.
If I see a good deal, I buy it. Right now, no deals.

Stockpile YES. When I go to the range I find there is never a need to shoot more than 50 rounds of pistol and 20 rounds of rifle for my primary firearms.
having a good holster rig and equipment belt set up for the pistol and a good two point sling for the rifle is all that is needed to maintain proficiency at home by practicing dry fire, holster draw, high ready positions, shooting on the move, barricade exercises, and practicing any type of shooting position that can be imagined or seemingly impossible!
Practice shooting using vehicle as cover, shooting under a vehicle on your side (weak and strong sides) shooting from rooftops, shooting upside down with your pinky finger, reloading offhand, reloading wounded, head shots, moving fluidly through a structure, around a structure, mag changes in the high ready, whatever you can think of!!!!
If you think I'm crazy,,,,you talk to anyone who has been on the ground in combat of in a fire fight! Special Ops does the most progressive training scenarios that would blow your mind. You must have warrior mindset and train yourself at home doing dry fire and mag changes.
No need to burn up a bunch of ammo. Once your firearm is perfectly sighted, don't waste ammo!
May God make smooth the path you follow!

Stockpiler and a reloader. Most of the stuff I buy is plinking/practice then it gets reloaded into what I want or need. I have plenty on hand so I can still shoot/practice and not worry about running low. Eventually things will calm down and I can shoot more and reload and stockpile more as well.

Been called a "hoarder" and "reason for the panic". And never knew I had so many friends.
Having witnessed runs on this and other products due to a political dark cloud, I began building inventory in 2010, anticipating a 2nd term.
I never anticipated the current catalyst. But I've learned from that as well. You just never know what will set a panic off.
I find myself becoming more and more "prepper minded" than before.

A&P Lab
The A&P lab is a large working laboratory used by the Animal Biology, Human Anatomy and Animal Physiology classes.
This lab is equipped with four working computer stations; a large fume hood; multiple aquaria for housing live aquatic organisms; and a large collection of preserved animal specimens from all the major taxanomic phyla that allow that allow Animal Biology students to see firsthand the organisms they have been studying in class.
Animal Physiology students are able to conduct experiments with human and animal organ systems to gain a better understanding of how these systems work. Students utilize sophisticated, computer based data acquisition equipment that allows them to record and analyze physiological functioning in living nerve, muscle, cardiac, urinary, and respiratory systems
Human Anatomy students are given the unique opportunity to participate in cadaver dissection. John Brown is one of only two universities in the state of Arkansas that makes cadaver dissection available to undergraduate students. This opportunity gives students advanced preparation for the training they will encounter during their graduate studies.
Animal Care Facility & Darkroom (BSH 010)
This facility is primarily used for housing animals used for teaching labs and research projects. One of the three animal cage rooms has been modified in this facility, to function as a dedicated darkroom. It is used for loading film cassettes with X-ray film and chemiluminescent (or radioactive) blots and gels. It houses an X-ray film processor, which is used to develop exposed X-ray film.
Tissue Culture Lab (BSH 125)
This lab is used for maintaining mammalian cell lines in culture, doing sterile transfers of these cell lines, and conducting gene transfer experiments involving these cell lines. Equipment in this lab includes a refrigerator, BioSafety cabinet, CO2 incubators (single and double-stacked units), inverted light microscope, water bath, clinical centrifuge, vortexer, and cart.
Research Lab (BSH 126)
This lab is used for performing a wide variety of techniques in molecular biology and biochemistry, such as the construction, purification, and modification of recombinant plasmid DNAs, electroporation of bacterial and mammalian cells, gel electrophoresis, and analysis of reporter gene activity in extracts of mammalian cells. This laboratory contains a -20° freezer, refrigerator, incubator, electrophoresis equipment (horizontal and vertical gels; DNA sequencing), fraction collector, thermal cycler (for PCR), water baths, luminometer, electroporation apparatus, dry bath incubators, sonicator, and computer.
Radioisotope Lab (BSH 128)
This lab is currently used for measuring DNA concentrations, electroblotting gels, drying down gels and photodocumentation of gels. Equipment items in this room include: a fumehood, a UV/visible spectrophotometer, two semidry electroblotters, a gel dryer, vacuum pump, combined benchtop liquid scintillation counter and luminometer, and a photodocumentation system equipped with a digital camera, computer, UV transilluminator and white light converter.
Advanced Biology Lab (BSH 129)
This lab is used primarily for procedures that require centrifugation of large volumes of liquid. The principal equipment in this room includes a floor model refrigerated centrifuge and a benchtop refrigerated clinical centrifuge, each with several rotors. Also included in this room are four computers, three camera systems for phase contrast microscopes, three fume hoods, a floor model refrigerated incubator, numerous benchtop incubators and water baths, a BioSafety cabinet, power supply (for gel electrophoresis), double wide refrigerator with sliding glass doors, and a reverse osmosis water system. This lab is also used for teaching laboratory sections of advanced biology courses.
Equipment Room (BSH 131)
This room houses larger pieces of equipment such as an ultracentrifuge (for density gradient centrifugation), a baking oven (for drying/baking glassware), a -80° freezer (for storing specific reagents and bacterial strains), a shaker water bath and shaker incubator (for growing liquid bacterial cultures), a SpeedVac Concentrator System (for drying down pelleted nucleic acids and concentrating solutions), a liquid nitrogen-based cryogenic storage system (for storing frozen mammalian cells and tissues), and a smaller Dewar flask for storing liquid nitrogen used for snap freezing samples.
The Greenhouse is used by students in Introductory and Advanced Plant Biology.
Students are exposed to a wide variety of plant species grown in the greenhouse. The opportunity to dissect and study the plants gives students a better understanding of the workings of the organism.
Students in Advanced Plant Biology have the opportunity to conduct their own independent research in the greenhouse. Students have more freedom to explore their interests in this area and can apply many of the conceptual things they have learned in the classroom as they conduct their research.

Chocolate (UK - DVD R2)
Marcus likes all kinds of Chocolate: Twixes, Mars bars, Elbow to the Faces...
Zen (JeeJa Yanina) is a young autistic girl whose life is on the verge of collapse when her mother, Zin (Ammara Siripong) is diagnosed with cancer. Family friend and childhood buddy Moom (Taphon Phopwandee) is doing everything he can to help by raising money for Zen's mum's treatment, which up until this point has been taking advantage of Zen's special skills.
You see, Zen may suffer from a mental disability, but growing up next to a Muay Thai kickboxing school and watching Tony Jaa movies religiously has given Zen the knack for movement and quick reactions. Taking advantage of this, she and Moom have been making money by charging the public to throw balls at her and we see her skills come into play as she catches them, no matter where they come from.
Moom then discovers an old book that belongs to Zen's mum, Zin. The book lists people who owe her money and Moom, in desperate need to pay for Zin's treatments, approaches these people to reclaim past debts. However, little do Zen and Moom know that Zin used to be a Yakuza Wife and her ex-hubby is still in control of the companies they are trying to get Zin's cash back from, and it's not helping that Zen is kicking the crap out of anyone that refuses.
Generally, I love martial arts movies, though it has to be said that post- Matrix, they have taken the form down the 'too cool for school' route and frankly it's all gone a little style over content for my liking. Too many big name stars flipping about on wires or spending months prepping for a few glossy fight scenes that are badly edited just doesn't do it for me. Watching Chocolate is like a beautiful antidote to all of that.
From the same guys that brought us Ong Bak a few years ago, which was another movie that had much the same jaw dropping effect on me, comes Chocolate, starring JeeJa Yanin as Zen, in her super talented debut role. Taking much the same route as the Ong Bak did, Chocolate is essentially the simplest, yet most effective form of action movie that's out there. Take a character—put them in a room with some bad guys who don't give up—fight. Layer some plot around that and make sure every time we go back to fighting it's even more impressive than the last time we saw it. See, it's as simple and frankly, as effective, as that.
It's personal preference, but I for one adore this type of martial arts affair. This is the type of martial arts movie I grew up with. My brother and I loved getting as many Jackie Chan movies on rental as we could find and just mentally devouring them over the coming weeks. Stuff like Armour of God or Wheels on Meals or any of the more mad-cap Chan movies. I don't care if these movies are essentially just a showcase for the star and their skills, I don't care how farfetched it all gets or how thin the plot holding it all up is. I don't care that the villains are goofy or stereotypes (and they really are here, the majority being lady boys). I just take great delight in seeing some of the most finely orchestrated fight scenes by stars that are actually doing it all and what's even more of a delight is seeing it in this low budget form.
Chocolate is just crammed full of moments that left me shell shocked with joy—be it crazy fly kicks or mid-air splits, JeeJa Yanin is somehow able to take down two foes with a single swing of an elbow. Whether it's stupidly loyal factory employees landing awkwardly (or indeed painfully) after being caught by what seems an impossible blow this stuff is almost magical to watch in places with fantastic choreography. I love that this essentially falls into Zen going to a slight variation on the last location and getting into the same predicament. Whether it be an ice warehouse, a butchers warehouse or a box factory, these are all just classic martial arts locations with an unlimited amount of scope and plenty of things to interact with. I also adore how, even though this is super violent, no one really gets that hurt. Yes the bad guys are in pain, they may even have a butcher's cleaver lodged in the shoulder blade, but it's all done with that almost slapstick sense of humour that just keeps the mood fairly light and doesn't draw you away from the show of kicking ass in lots of wonderful ways. That is until we reach the climax.
The last half hour just doesn't stop. It's literally throws everything it can muster at Zen for the closing of this movie, whether it be the armies of faceless foes with black suits, swordsmen, chequered bandana-wearing men or even, and I'm still sort of reeling from this one, another disabled character who moves unpredictably but has some mad skills much like Zen. Seriously the fighting just doesn't stop and the speed at which it's coming at you is relentless. One minute you are staggered by how fast Zen can climb up the side of a building, the next you are taking great joy in a bad guy bouncing off of all of the balconies on his way down but before you can take it all in, you're amazed at the use of a flying knee to the face that Zen manages to unleash on the smallest of ledges. It's quite simply amazing to watch and whether or not the story is good or not, and thankfully it just about is here, this is a proper martial arts movie and frankly it's some of the most fun I've had all year.
The video here is not very consistent at all. It's grainy as all hell with plenty of image noise. The colours are often soft, there's blocking and a real lack of detail. When it's good, the image is usually soaked in a warm glow, when it's bad, it's usually bathed in a really soft green tint but you know what, I didn't care at all. If anything it just made Chocolate feel more authentic and refreshingly old school. So once again it's going to come down to how good a picture you actually want from a genre that is steeped in low budget glory.
Once again, this won't be winning awards. Other than a nice use of incidental music in the dramatic scenes that manages to spread itself nicely over all the speakers, this really struggles on the audio front. Punches and kicks all sound okay but when the action music comes in it almost feels as if it's struggling to be heard. It's muted, it's soft and weirdly it just feels placed there with very little thought. The only scene where this is any different is the tussle between Zen and the track-suited special needs boy where they fight to an almost break beat disco number to add effect to the bizarre situation.
It doesn't take too long to realize that most of these features are EPK style and get a little repetitive. 'Breaking the Mold' (13:47) is essentially a making of with little bit of history from director, Prachya Pinkaew and the stars, mixed with some raw footage from the sets. 'Step by Step' (10:47) is the same deal but explains how the film took four years to make and shows you the small segments they film to put a movie like this together. It's pretty damn impressive how focused each and every move is without it ever feeling too staged on film.
'A Star is Born' (05:27) focuses on Jeeja Yanin and her skills, explaining all the styles she's trained under and comparisons to Tony Jaa. 'Fighting Talent' (07:02) looks at the stunt work involved, whilst 'Real Fighters' (04:07) looks at the four real Thai kickboxing champions used in the fight scenes. By this stage all of the features really begin to blur into one another, showing many of the same clips and fight practice. The last of the featurettes is 'The Stars of Chocolate' (07:02) which shows some of the actors' past projects and their status in their home grown cinema. It's actually really interesting to find out about a lot of the experiences some of these guys have had over the years.
Finishing up there are six deleted scenes, and a collection of five 'Outtakes & Highlights' segments as well as a trailer gallery of two trailers and four TV spots and a Training Workshop (04:35) which really shows just how much goes into the timing and attention to detail of this fantastic work.
There's also a massive bank of eight trailers for other movies, including the Monkey Magic movie.
Weak video, poor audio and okay features, but d'ya know what…I couldn't ask for much more to make this any better a watching experience. This is proper martial arts and feels gritty and realistic. This is everything that the genre does well and I had a total blast with it.
I recommend that you get hold of this movie, sit down with friends and enjoy every single second of the action together because Chocolate was made to thrill and you'll need friends to bounce your 'did you just see that?' and 'I can't believe she did that!' reactions off of and like it's Cadbury equivalent, Chocolate is insanely more-ish.

Cribbage Board
cribbage board
Most game historians agree that the English poet Sir John Suckling invented the card game cribbage, also called "crib," in the early 17th century. A derivation of an earlier card game, cribbage has survived as one of the most popular card games in the English-speaking world. The object of the game is to score a certain number of points through specific card combinations exclusive to this game. Players track these points on a cribbage "board" by means of advancing pegs--one hole for each point scored. Craftsmen made the earliest cribbage boards of wood or any handy material. Nineteenth century scrimshaw boards demonstrate the popularity of the game among whalers. And the naval tradition continues as contemporary submariners consider cribbage an "official" pastime. With a long history, a unique method for play, and the addition of the particular board for scoring, cribbage is both similar to and different from other traditional games. While versions of cribbage allow for 2, 3, or more people to compete, the 2-player version is most popular. Sometimes called the "greatest two-handed game," it retains numerous devotees despite competition from other kinds of games. The American Cribbage Congress, a club for serious players, claimed over 6000 members as of 2012. This organization sponsors local chapters all over the United States and holds yearly tournaments. Bloggers linked to the Congress website report fond childhood memories of family bonds formed over cribbage games as well as more than one marriage kept happy by regular matches. Cribbage, like other traditional games, allows for healthy competition and for enduring and memorable play.

Oh, baby! 8 risks to avoid in your veterinary practice during pregnancy
Someday you—or someone you work with—might decide to expand the family to include a baby that doesn't sport fur, wear a collar or use the litter box. You may be less familiar with infants of this species, and their lengthy gestation means you'll need to take extra care to keep mother and baby safe.
You probably didn't learn how to care for this species in school, so make sure to point any mothers-to-be to their human doctors for medical advice. Meanwhile, you can help make the workplace a little safer by keeping these tips—and the potential risks—in mind.
Educate your teamWhen I told my employers I was expecting, they were very accommodating. But not all bosses are so accepting. It helps to remember that this is a mere nine months the practice may be slightly inconvenienced.
A piece of advice for expecting mothers: In the end, when you're pregnant you need to feel comfortable with the decisions you make, and you shouldn't feel pressured by anyone else. Remember, this is your body, your health, your pregnancy and your baby. If you stand by your decisions, when your baby is born you will feel confident that you took care in the best way possible in their first months of growth.
In the veterinary field in particular, it's vital for employees to share news of their pregnancy as soon as possible to avoid exposure to many workplace hazards. It may be nerve-wracking sharing such personal information so early on, but remember that it's in your child's best interest, as the first trimester is the time of the most crucial development.
Many factors will determine a veterinary team member's risks when she's expecting. For example, receptionists who spend most of their time in the front office may pass through treatment or be exposed to different hazards briefly, while medical support team members who spend most their time in the back office might experience longer exposure. Regardless, it's important for managers to educate every team member of possible dangers. It's a good idea to present this information to team members when they're hired so they can take immediate precautions when they discover they're expecting.
1. Radiation
Exposure to radiation can occur in a few different ways besides taking radiographs. Fluoroscopy procedures also use radiation, and I-131 treatments for hyperthyroid cats employ radiation as well. As with most risks, if you can eliminate the risk during your months of pregnancy and ask other team members pick up these duties, then discuss how you can still be productive in these months while avoiding these risks.
However, some team members will have a more difficult time avoiding these hazards—for example, perhaps you're a radiology technician in a specialty practice or the only credentialed technician in a practice. In these cases, take steps to reduce the risk. Radiation exposure during the entire gestation of pregnancy should not exceed 500 mrem.1 It may be helpful to review your exposure history for the past nine to 10 months before your pregnancy to ensure that your badge readings add up to less than this amount. If you've been exposed to more than this amount, you'll need to discuss with your hospital manager what changes you can make, and make sure your equipment is up-to-date on inspections and deemed safe.
Many pregnant women wear the same protective equipment during radiographs as before: apron—wraparounds are better for full coverage of that belly—lead goggles, gloves and a thyroid shield, but add in a dosimeter at the baby's level. This allows for more specific measurements of exposure to the fetus. If possible, take images with you and the pedal outside of the room if the patient is sedated and securely positioned.
2. Waste anesthetic gases
Another concern is the risk for waste anesthetic gas exposure. When a gas reaches the level where you can smell it, it's entirely too high to be safely exposed to, pregnant or not. You can avoid most risks by following appropriate operating procedures for the anesthetic machine. Always check the machine for leaks before you use it, and make sure the scavenging system is in working order and connected, which should be performed before every use outside of pregnancy as well. It's also important to make sure the endotracheal tube is cuffed and inflated appropriately to avoid leakage.
Once the procedure is complete and the patient is off of anesthetic gas, maintain the oxygen with the patient still connected to give time for the system to be flushed through the scavenging system. The most dangerous times for exposure are during induction and recovery, so swapping with another employee during these periods can help. It's a good idea to avoid mask and box inductions completely, as a much greater amount of gas seepage can occur.
3. Bone cement
This danger may not be an issue in most general practices, but in orthopedic or neurology specialties especially, bone cement can be used for surgical procedures. Bone cement is made up of liquid methyl methacrylate, along with polymethyl methacrylate. It can create strong fumes, and manufacturers advise pregnant women not be present during the mixing of bone cement.2 If you're pregnant and you see a surgery where bone cement is needed on the schedule, it may be best to either swap shifts or take the day off. With the exposure of fumes from bone cement, there may be an adverse effect on bone growth and overall fetal health, according to the FDA.3 A threshold limit of 125 ppm per 10 minutes was determined by the Substances Hazardous to Health Guidelines. However, without scavenging systems devices, measurements can range from 2 to 374 ppm, and with a scavenging system, 90 to 100 ppm.4 Since the detrimental effects are unknown, err on the safe side and try to avoid bone cement altogether, if possible.

Nate Romine has gone from buried on the depth chart to under center in a little more than a month.
The Air Force freshman quarterback filled in for injured starter Karson Roberts on Thursday night and nearly helped the Falcons snap a long losing streak. Romine ran for a touchdown and threw for another in a 27-20 loss to San Diego State.
"He did a good job," Air Force coach Troy Calhoun said. "He's got a ways to go."
Romine provided a spark that helped Air Force (1-6, 0-5 Mountain West) take a 20-6 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
It wouldn't last as the Falcons lost their sixth straight. They have been to six straight bowl games under Calhoun.
The Aztecs (3-3, 2-0) scored 21 straight points in the final quarter to escape with the win even with their struggles in the kicking game. San Diego State is 2-151-1 in program history when trailing by 14 or more points in the final quarter. The only other time the Aztecs rallied like this was at Air Force on Sept. 18, 1993, when they erased a 17-point deficit in a 38-31 win.
"We played our souls out," Calhoun said. "Hats off to San Diego State, winning a game down the stretch."
Quinn Kaehler finished 15 of 26 for 249 yards and three touchdowns, including two in the fourth quarter. Donnel Pumphrey had 117 yards rushing and scored the game-winning TD with 1:39 remaining.
Romine scored on a 16-yard run and threw a 71-yard TD pass for the Falcons in a game they didn't know would even be staged — because of the partial government shutdown — until it was given the official go-ahead about 27 hours before kickoff.
Will Conant made two long field goals, including a 52-yarder that bounced in off the left upright. His counterpart, Wes Feer, had a field goal and an extra point clang away no good off the same left goal post.
When Kaehler hit Pumphrey for a 20-yard TD early in the fourth quarter to begin San Diego State's comeback, coach Rocky Long sent out backup kicker Seamus McMorrow, who made the extra point.
A few plays later, Kaehler found a wide open Ezell Ruffin for a 62-yard score. But McMorrow had his point-after attempt blocked by Troy Timmerman, making it 20-19.
After forcing the Falcons to punt, Kaehler marched the Aztecs down the field and Pumphrey punctuated the winning drive with a run up the middle for a score. Kaehler threw a pass to Tim Vizzi for the 2-point conversion.
"Quite frankly, my biggest concern coming into the game was whether or not we could tackle Pumphrey," Calhoun said. "I've seen him all season long, he's just extremely electric. A couple of times we were in pretty good position and he gave us a wiggle and a juke and couldn't get him down."
The Aztecs have won three straight to even their record. According to San Diego State, of the 45 schools that opened 0-3 since 2010, the Aztecs join Houston (2012) as the only teams to even its record at 3-3 after six contests.
Just 40 days ago, Romine was the fourth-string QB for the Falcons. He moved up when Kale Pearson suffered a season-ending right knee injury in the opener and again after backup Jaleel Awini was declared ineligible by the academy.
Romine received the call to go in Thursday night shortly after starter Roberts came off the field in the first quarter with a concussion. Romine directed a scoring drive in his first series, capping it off with a 16-yard TD run early in the second quarter.
His 71-yard TD pass to Sam Gagliano was the longest by a Falcons QB in four years.
San Diego State controlled the clock and outgained the Falcons in the first half, only to trail 10-6 when Conant connected on a 48-yard field goal on the last play before halftime.
For a third straight week, the Falcons let a halftime lead slip away.
Hours before the game, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel made the decision that football games and other sports will go on at the military service academies through the end of the month. The issue will be reassessed later this month if Congress has still not passed a budget to fund the federal government.
Air Force is off next weekend before hosting Notre Dame.
"We've got guys right now that are really, really disappointed," Calhoun said. "I think anytime you apply yourself and you're dedicated, it's going to happen that way."

Michelle Obama, née Michelle LaVaughn Robinson, (born January 17, 1964, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.), American first lady (2009–17), the wife of Barack Obama, 44th president of the United States. She was the first African American first lady.
Michelle Robinson, who grew up on Chicago's South Side, was the daughter of Marian, a homemaker, and Frasier Robinson, a worker in the city's water-purification plant. She studied sociology and African American studies at Princeton University (B.A., 1985) in New Jersey before attending Harvard Law School (J.D., 1988). Returning to Chicago, she took a job as a junior associate at Sidley & Austin (now Sidley Austin LLP), where she specialized in intellectual property law. In 1989, while at the firm, she met Barack Obama, who had been hired as a summer associate. Seeking a more public-service-oriented career path, in 1991 she became an assistant to Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley. The following year she and Barack, then a community organizer, were married. From 1992 to 1993 Michelle was the assistant commissioner for the Chicago Department of Planning and Development, and in 1993 she founded the Chicago branch of Public Allies, a leadership-training program for young adults; she served as the branch's executive director until 1996.
Barack was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1996, and that year Michelle became the associate dean of student services at the University of Chicago, where she helped organize the school's community outreach programs. In 2002 she became the executive director of community and external affairs for the University of Chicago. Two years later Barack was elected to the U.S. Senate and came to national prominence with a speech he gave on the final night of the 2004 Democratic National Convention. In 2005 she became vice president of community and external affairs for the University of Chicago Medical Center.
When her husband announced his candidacy for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, Michelle took a prominent role in his campaign. She took leave from her position at the University of Chicago to devote herself more fully to campaigning while still maintaining time to care for her and Barack's two young daughters. An adept speaker, she stumped extensively for her husband during the long Democratic primary race, and in June 2008 Barack became the party's presumptive nominee. Michelle's openness on the campaign trail and in interviews—she often humanized her husband by discussing his faults and implored observers not to "deify him"—endeared her to many. However, critics of her husband's campaign took issue with some of her comments—such as when she remarked, while campaigning in Wisconsin in February 2008, that "for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country." Michelle later clarified her statement—saying that she meant to say that she was proud that Americans were eagerly engaging in the political process during the 2008 election—and she continued to have an active role in her husband's campaign. Indeed, campaign aides referred to her as "the closer," for her persuasiveness on the stump among uncommitted voters who attended rallies. On November 4, 2008, Barack was elected 44th president of the United States, defeating Arizona Sen. John McCain; he took office on January 20, 2009, and was reelected in 2012.
As first lady, Michelle was involved in various causes, notably supporting military families and ending childhood obesity. In an effort to promote healthy eating, she planted a vegetable garden on the South Lawn of the White House in 2009. She related her experiences with the project in the book American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America (2012). In addition to her work on such issues, Michelle also garnered attention for her fashion sense.

WACO, Texas (AP) — A judge has denied Texas' request to prevent the federal Health and Human Services Department from cutting off funding for the Texas Women's Health Program.
U.S. District Judge Walter Smith in Waco on Friday denied the state's motion for a preliminary injunction. Without it, Medicaid funding for the state program that provides cancer screenings and other services to 130,000 low-income women likely will expire Dec. 31.
State lawmakers want Planned Parenthood removed from the program and have banned any clinic affiliated with abortion providers from taking part. Federal officials have responded by denying Medicaid funding for the program.
A state health commission spokeswoman said Friday that an entirely state-funded version of the program will go forward without Planned Parenthood at the start of next year.

I. In Focus This Week
Director's Note
Domicile, Rahm-icile: Reflections on the Elections Stained Glass Window
Like any self-respecting election geek, I was riveted by the recent legal dust-up in Chicago about whether or not Rahm Emanuel is eligible to run for mayor.
While popular coverage of the case focused on the political impact of the controversy, for me the case was a living, breathing, front-page example of a rare if not unique characteristic of American elections.
I call it the stained-glass window.
Just as a larger image is assembled from small yet well-defined pieces of glass, America's electoral map is built from small but well-defined pieces of geography. At any given time, voters can belong to one and only one piece – and that choice has an impact on just about every aspect of their voting experience: what's on the ballot, the means, rules and deadlines for casting it and the level of human and technological resources devoted to assist them with the process.
And yet, as the Emanuel case reminds us, it isn't enough for a voter merely to choose a piece of the window; they must also be prepared to prove that they belong there. Residency requirements at virtually every level of government specify criteria to evaluate whether or not an individual is sufficiently a part of a jurisdiction to participate in its elections.
The test commonly used is the notion of "domicile", which requires some level of physical presence in a place plus intent to remain there. When voters are largely settled and stationery - i.e., in a single piece of the window - this inquiry is relatively simple. When they hop from piece to piece, however - as more and more voters do in our increasingly mobile nation - it gets far more difficult.
The Emanuel case is also illustrative of another key feature of the notion of domicile: while a voter can choose a piece of the window, that choice is not conclusive and he or she must be prepared to defend it if challenged. Because residence is so personal, these discussions are incredibly fact-intensive. Thus, for example, in defense of a challenge to his Chicago residency (and his mayoral eligibility), a key piece of evidence on Mr. Emanuel's behalf was that belongings left behind in his family's rented Chicago house included his wife's wedding gown, an heirloom coat worn by his grandfather when he immigrated to the U.S. and his children's school projects and report cards.
It's tempting to dismiss Maksym v. Chicago Board of Elections as a bare-knuckled Chicago political fight; however, the headlines in the last few weeks have brought us other examples of the role that domicile and the stained glass window play in the American electoral process:
- In New Hampshire, a state legislator has introduced a bill that would strip many college students, military servicemembers and federal workers of the right to vote in the state by sharply limiting the definition of domicile; and
- In Montana, debate about the adoption of voting by mail included legislators openly questioning voting by college students, noting their lack of connection to the community.
What's fascinating about these domicile fights is that they don't really stem from a problem that can be conclusively solved. Efforts to modernize the nation's election system have made it easier than ever to jump from piece to piece by improving voter registration and voting information and yet -- unless the nation is willing to abandon state and local boundaries, which I doubt -- the stained-glass window remains. Indeed, our growing mobility and modernization is going to bring domicile to the forefront of election administration more and more over time.
The challenge as this happens will be to take a hard look at our election laws, regulations, practices and procedures to ensure that domicile discussions, as messy as they are, are used only to assess residency and not to screen out otherwise eligible voters based on how they might vote.
After all, each of us belongs to a piece of the election stained glass window – but we need to remember that our piece doesn't really belong to us.

George R.R. Martin: $20,000 Gets You a Spot in 'A Song of Ice and Fire'
As season four of HBO's "Game of Thrones" heads into its final two episodes, George R.R. Martin has launched a campaign to support two charities, the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary and the Food Depot of Santa Fe.
The fantasy writer is offering the chance to spend a day with him to "see my collection of toy knights and medieval miniatures, sample some green chile and carne adovada, then take a helicopter down to Candy Kitchen, New Mexico and the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary to meet the Westeros pack."
The drawing includes varying donation levels, from "Ranger" ($10) to "Martyr" ($20,000), for fans with deep pockets. The Martyr package includes 4,000 entries into the contest plus "a character named after you in a future 'A Song of Ice and Fire' novel." It also allows the donor to choose his or her character's station in the world (lordling, knight, peasant, whore, lady, maester, septon, anything). The details also make a promise: "You will certainly meet a grisly death!"
Unless there's any truth to recent chatter about an eighth novel in the series, this means a spot in either the next book, "The Winds of Winter," or the seventh planned novel, "A Dream of Spring."
The "Queen" level ($4,500), offering up a script of the first "Game of Thrones" episode signed by the main cast and crew, is already unavailable.
"Game of Thrones" has become the most popular series in HBO's history, according to the premium cable network. With an average gross audience of 18.4 million viewers, the show has surpassed the previous record set by the 2002 season of "The Sopranos," which had an average gross audience of 18.2 million viewers per episode.

Transurethral Prostatectomy for ProstatitisSkip to the navigation
Surgery Overview
This procedure involves removal of part of the prostate gland through the urethra.
A long, thin tube with a viewing instrument (cystoscope) attached is inserted into the urethra. Prostate tissue is removed through the cystoscope.
What To Expect After Surgery
You are usually hospitalized for 2 to 3 days. Complete recovery typically requires 3 to 4 weeks.
Why It Is Done
This surgery may be done for:
- Chronic bacterial prostatitis that resists antibiotic treatment, with or without infected prostate stones (prostatic calculi).
- Repeated urinary tract infections because of another prostate problem for which surgery may be appropriate, such as prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH).
How Well It Works
Very few studies have been done to see how well this surgery works for prostatitis. It is not usually recommended as a treatment for prostatitis.footnote 1
- Urinary incontinence
- Inability to get or keep an erection (erectile dysfunction)
- Retrograde ejaculation. This means that semen flows the wrong way, from the prostate to the bladder rather than from the prostate through the penis.
What To Think About
To eliminate category II (chronic bacterial) prostatitis successfully, the surgery must completely remove the portion of the prostate that contains the infection.
Complete the surgery information form (PDF) (What is a PDF document?) to help you prepare for this surgery.
