The Road Fast Traveled

Don't touch that dial-up. You don't need it. We mean it-hands off. This isn't about sending e-mails to Grandma or stocking up at the Target.com online clearance-you're starting a business. You've probably already figured out that 56 Kbps might as well be two cans tied together with a string for all the good it'll do you. When it comes to Internet access for your growing Web business, the parable of the tortoise and the hare just doesn't apply. You want the fastest rabbit you can get your hands on.
Even if you're hosting your Web site on somebody else's servers, where it can benefit from their high-speed connection, your office needs speed, too. You need to conduct regular checkups on your site, send in updates, upload and download, and handle all that office e-mail. So when it comes to bandwidth, would you rather have a Yugo or a Ferrari? That's right-take the Ferrari.
In this column, we'll look at what's available for your business to connect to and give you a few pointers on picking out your new speed-demon Internet access.
Cable: The same people that bring you Law & Order reruns 24/7 and in-depth coverage of lumberjack contests also supply cable modem connections. If you order cable Internet access, you won't get the Baywatch channel, but you will get speeds of about 1Mbps, up to a theo-retically possible 5Mbps. And because access is through the cable line, you don't have to sacrifice a phone line.
Cable modem connections are also available through non-TV companies like Excite@Home, Road Runner and Verizon. Visit their Web sites to check availability and find a local dealer, or contact your resident cable provider.
If you're starting up from your living room, you can look into residential rates (beginning at about $50 per month), but if you're wiring up an office, you'll need to deal with the commercial or business department at the provider of your choice. Cable can be connected to your LAN through Ethernet to make it available to your network.
Comcast Commercial Online, for example, starts at $225 per month for a 256Kbps connection for one to eight users on a LAN. The installation cost will run you $1,295 for a basic install. Higher speeds will add to your monthly costs. Taking advantage of cable's full 1.5Mbps capabilities clocks in at $695 per month. Keep in mind that the listed speeds are burstable, meaning they represent the maximum the connection can achieve. Actual speeds will vary with the number of users and demand, much like a LAN.
DSL: DSL is cable's main competitor. DSL works through regular phone lines at downstream speeds of up to 1.5Mbps-though, as with cable, actual speeds depend on how much you're willing to spend. DSL allows both voice and data to run simultaneously on the same line, so you don't need an extra voice line. Like cable, DSL is always on. While cable lines are shared, meaning more users can slow down the connection for everyone, DSL is a dedicated, unshared line. DSL speeds are more likely to be limited by your physical distance from your service provider's central office. Past a certain distance, the degradation of your average connection speed is so great that it's not worth using.
DSL is still expanding across the United States, so it's not available everywhere yet. Visit The List (www.thelist.com), an ISP buyer's guide, to search for options and providers in your area. Most major metropolitan areas are covered, but if your business is located somewhere out in the boonies, you might need to look elsewhere for your high-speed Internet access.
DSL can be fairly cost-effective when it comes to business services. Earthlink's Biz DSL (www.earthlink.net), for example, starts at $129 per month for 144Kbps. At the top range, the cost is $349 per month for speedy 1.1Mbps serv-ice. Initial equipment costs for installation run $499; a one-year contract is required. Compare this to the cable costs we looked at above. Prices will vary from ISP to ISP, so always shop around. Check with providers and with your local phone company for cost and availability.
T1: While a T3 Internet con-nection is the stuff that IT workers dream about, hookup can cost $20,000 or more. So unless you're rolling in heaps of VC dough, a T1 connection is friendlier to your start-up budget and still offers speeds of up to 1.5Mbps. It's also ideal if you're hosting your Web site on your own servers at your office instead of out-sourcing. As with cable and DSL, connection speed is scalable. You'll pay more for more bandwidth. But if you're hosting and you expect a lot of traffic, you'll want to go with the higher connection speeds to avoid Web site slowdowns.
We visited Zyan Communications to get an idea of what a T1 costs you. Monthly fees for average bandwidth range from $450 (for up to 128Kbps) to $1,450 (for more than 1,024Kbps). The set-up fee will run you $600 with a one-year contract or $1,200 without. Equipment costs must be taken into consideration as well. You can't just plug your modem in to a wall jack and connect to a T1. Budget in another $2,000 to $3,000 for a router and hardware. And don't forget the cost of on-site installation.
ISDN: ISDN is old news on the access scene, but it's worth mentioning. With speeds of up to 64Kbps, it's fairly slow compared to the other options. It's often sold in pairs to achieve 128Kbps data connections. ISDN, usually available from your local phone company, requires phone company installation and terminal adaptor hardware (starting at about $300), and you'll need to sign up with an ISP to access the Internet. It's wise to go with a package hardware and installation deal to prevent the headache of setting it up yourself. ISDN may be a consideration if you're located in an area without DSL or cable service.
Any one of the above access solutions will do your business justice. You might be able to save by shopping around for installation and equipment specials. It's a highly competitive marketplace out there, and deals pop up as often as hungry gophers. Choosing a service provider can come down to pricing, availability and customer service. Pay special attention to that last one. Check the company's service policies. If your connection fizzles at 3 a.m. on your site's launch day, you won't want to wait 48 hours for someone to come fix it. And while you're shopping around, keep an eye on the staying power of your DSL provider. The past year has seen hard times for some independent DSL carriers in the face of strong competition, particularly from the Baby Bells. It won't hurt to poke around online to make sure your company of choice is in good shape to offer services down the road.

Pac-12 M5: Opening Day EditionPosted by AMurawa on November 9th, 2012
- We hit the big news yesterday about Omar Oraby being declared eligible yesterday for USC, but now Oregon has to sit back and wait for news on its own Rice big man, Arsalan Kazemi, who transferred out of Rice and to Oregon for reasons similar as Oraby. The common perception is that if Oraby got freed, then Kazemi must be next, but that is little comfort for the Ducks who face the prospect of opening their season tomorrow night without his services. Certainly, Oregon should be able to handle the likes of Northern Arizona and Portland State as they stand now, but the Ducks would sure like to have Kazemi in uniform a week from today when they host a young but talented Vanderbilt squad. With him in tow, the Ducks have a seriously strong frontcourt that could make a splash near the top of the conference standings.
- An important correction for a recent bit of misinformation. On Wednesday morning we relayed the Los Angeles Times' info that Shabazz Muhammad, were he healthy, would be able to participate in UCLA's opener since it was within the 45-day window for him to participate with the team. Actually, that's not quite right. The 45-day window allows Muhammad to participate in practices, but he won't be eligible to compete in games until officially cleared by the NCAA, a timeline of which is still unknown. So, as it stands, the Bruins will open their season and their new-look Pauley Pavilion tonight against Indiana State, the only other school of which John Wooden held the head coaching job.
- Speaking of Wooden, the Wooden Award Watch List was unveiled on Thursday and four different Pac-12 student-athletes earned recognition: Colorado's Andre Roberson, California's Allen Crabbe, Arizona's Solomon Hill and Washington State's Brock Motum. Of the four, Roberson is the one with the best chance of earning the individual honor, although Hill's team is expected to have greater success. Still, Hill's game is more of a below-the-radar game and, with guys like Mark Lyons and Nick Johnson expected to shoulder much of the scoring load, it's unlikely he will put up the individual statistics necessary to shoulder the load. Speaking of Lyons, transfers and freshmen are ineligible for inclusion on the Preseason Top 50 list, which is why players like he, Shabazz Muhammad, and Kyle Anderson, to name just a few, are not listed.
- Our last bit of news for the morning is that a legacy, Kameron Rooks, son of former Arizona center and long-time NBA big man Sean Rooks, was offered a scholarship by Arizona. The younger Rooks is a seven-footer just like his old man, who possesses enough talent to have received similar offers from Washington, Arizona State, and Oregon State. Like his father, Kameron has a massive body, long arms, and is a back-to-the-basket scorer. Still, at 275 pounds, his conditioning will always be a concern and he is regarded as still a work in progress. He's currently a senior in high school and is listed as a three-star recruit.
- Another week, another chance for me to rub in the fact that I am absolutely killing Connor in our weekly football pick 'em contest. I took a three-game lead into last week's picks and, behind UCLA's drubbing of Arizona at the Rose Bowl, extended it up to four. But I ain't about to pull a Phil Ford and drop back into the Four Corners here to run some clock. Nope. Even though Connor sent me his picks first, I'm confident enough to put half of that four-game lead on the line this week. And, assuming I don't completely overdose on hoops action Friday night, I'm looking forward to another great Saturday (although not quite as great as last Saturday) of college football action. Our picks below, with, as always, our game of the week in bold.
|Connor's Pick
|Drew's Pick
|Colorado at Arizona
|Utah at Washington
|Arizona State at USC
|Oregon at California
|Oregon State at Stanford
|Stanford 26-23
|Oregon State 17-16
|UCLA at Washington State

PORT WASHINGTON, NY--(Marketwire - September 3, 2010) - A Las Vegas resident received the shock of a lifetime on August 31st, 2010, when America's most welcome drop-in guests surprised him at home. Joseph Beane of Las Vegas was paid a surprise visit on Tuesday, August 31st by the Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol who named him the winner of the company's latest SuperPrize award of $1,000,000.00.
Mr. Beane learned two days prior to the award that he had won a $1,000 prize in the sweepstakes and was on a "short list" to win "the big one." But he was unprepared for the Prize Patrol's arrival -- with a "Big Check" and bouquets of roses and balloons.
His name was announced as the prizewinner in a national Publishers Clearing House commercial on Tuesday, 8/31/10, during the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. The unannounced, videotaped surprise notification of the winner is a Publishers Clearing House tradition and a fixture of the company's TV ad campaigns. Video of his actual winning moment and the excitement surrounding it can be seen at http://pchtv.com/, a Publishers Clearing House website.
Mr. Beane is the 58th Publishers Clearing House winner of one million dollars or more, joining a roster of other SuperPrize winners including Doris Gray of New Jersey, Marilyn Ragin of Florida, Jack Genners of Nebraska, and Natalie Bostelman of Ohio who is now a PCH Goodwill Ambassador who accompanied the Prize Patrol on this Las Vegas delivery. Both Ragin and Bostelman were featured on the Learning Channel's telecast of "The Lottery Changed My Life" on August 29.
Naturally Joe is mighty glad he entered. Living as he does in America's gaming capital, he has seen a lot of winning; but he's never known anyone to win a giant jackpot like his: $1 Million SuperPrize from PCH! According to company records, Mr. Beane filed his winning entry using PCH Search and Win at http://search.pch.com/, a PCH website where users can search the web for a chance to win prizes.
"No matter how many winners we surprise or how much money we give away, it's a thrill for us every single time," said Dave Sayer, the Prize Patrol chief who has presented virtually every major Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes prize since 1981. This SuperPrize brings the total awarded in the company's sweepstakes to well over $224 million -- in major prizes alone.
About Publishers Clearing House
Headquartered in Port Washington, NY, Publishers Clearing House (PCH) is nationally famous for the sweepstakes it has used since 1967 to draw attention to its direct mail and online offers of merchandise and magazine subscriptions. The company's TV advertising features the iconic Prize Patrol van that annually delivers prizes worth thousands and millions of dollars to scores of shocked winners across the U.S. In recent years the company has built on its sweepstakes heritage to establish numerous online properties that offer new entertaining games, "search (engine) and win" opportunities, and Prize Patrol content of interest to millions of winner hopefuls. With approximately 400 full-time employees, over 40% of the company's profits go to trusts for the benefit of charities.

The Surreal World of The Villagers vs. The Nightmare Reality of the 99 PercentPosted: February 14, 2013 Filed under: morning reads, open thread, Political Affective Disorder, Real Life Horror, Surreality, The Media SUCKS, the villagers, U.S. Economy, U.S. Politics | Tags: Barack Obama, Marco Rubio, Salvador Dali, State of the Union, the 99 percent, the one percenters 44 Comments
This is going to be sort of a cross between a morning reads post and a rant.
Yesterday, Dakinikat and I were talking about how lately it seems like it's hard to find things to blog about because there's nothing really new happening in the political world. Sure, there's news coming out of DC, but it's pretty much the same thing every day. The Republicans hate President Obama and continue to do their best to block everything he tries to do. Obama sort of sounds like a liberal at times, but he's still offering that "grand bargain" to the Republicans who hate his guts and still letting down the voters who elected him in the process.
Republicans pretend to obsess over the federal deficit and debt and economic writers like Paul Krugman and Robert Reich repeatedly try to explain that the problem with our economy right now isn't the deficit or the debt, but the high unemployment and stagnating wages that keep the lower 99 percent of us from spending our money as freely as we'd like.
As I looked around for Thursday reads last night, I began to feel as if I'd entered a surreal alternative reality–almost as if I had awakened to find myself in a Salvador Dali painting in which everything seems crazy and nothing ever changes. The only breaks from the tedium of the Village come when there's news of another shooting and the media covers it for a few days–like the recent obsession with ex-cop "Rambo" Christopher Dorner.
Now that Dorner has gone down, there's another high-profile shooting for the media to focus on. USA Today reports: Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius charged with murder.
South African police on Thursday said they would charge Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius with murder after his girlfriend was shot and killed at his home earlier Thursday morning.
The circumstances of the incident are still unclear but police in South Africa said they would oppose bail when the Paralympic gold medalist appears in court Friday. The hearing was scheduled for Thursday afternoon but was delayed to give forensics investigators time to do their work, the Associated Press reported.
Police in South Africa do not name suspects in crimes until they have appeared in court but police spokesperson Brigadier Denise Beukes said that Pistorius was at his home after the death of the victim and that "there is no other suspect involved," The Associated Press reported.
Britain's Sky News first named the woman as Reeva Steenkamp, a model and recent contestant on Tropika Island of Treasure 5, a South African reality TV show. A talent agent for Steenkamp said she was the victim. However, police have yet to confirm the woman's relationship with the Olympic and Paralympic athlete.
Meanwhile, as the Villagers ignore the need for gun safety legislation and argue about the deficit and the supposed out-of-control government spending that isn't actually happening, the rich get richer and the lower 99 percent get screwed. Case in point, please read this piece in The New Republic by Timothy Noah that the Villagers will either ignore or mock: The One Percent Gobbled Up the Recovery, Too. In fact, it put the 99 percent back in recession.
Emmanuel Saez, the Berkeley economist who (with Thomas Piketty, an economist at the École d'economie de Paris) first mapped the enormous 34-year run-up in income share for America's top 1 percent, came up last year with a statistic that was widely quoted by people who care about rising income inequality. In 2010, the first year of economic recovery after the 2009-2010 recession, 93 percent of all pre-tax income gains went to the top 1 percent, which in that year meant any household making more than about $358,000. This was, I quipped at the time, a members-only recovery. No 99-percenters need apply.
Saez has now updated (PDF) this statistic to include 2011. When you look at the economic recovery's first two years, the top one percent (which by 2011 meant any household making more than about $367,000) captured 121 percent of all pre-tax income gains.
How is it even possible for the one percent to capture more than 100 percent of all income gains since the last recession? Looked at from one point of view, it's not. It is enough to say that in 2010 and 2011 all of the recovery went to the one percent. If you were in the bottom 99 percent, as by definition nearly all of us are, you didn't see a dime of that recovery.
What happened to the rest of us then?
Over 2010 and 2011, it saw, on average, a slight net decline in pre-tax income of 0.4 percent. This "negative growth" is what, at least theoretically, boosts the one percent's share of income gains from 100 percent to 121 percent. If you think of income distribution as a Pac-Man game, with the one percent as Pac-Man, imagine your Pac-Man consuming all the pac-dots in one game and then somehow, after you've left the arcade, gobbling up some of the pac-dots in the next player's game too. Another way to put it is that the one percent didn't just gobble up all of the recovery during 2010 and 2011; it put the 99 percent back into recession.
Sadly, airhead talking heads like Joe Scarborough will continue to have much more influence in the Village than actual economists like Emmanuel Saez and real reporters like Timothy Noah.
Speaking of airheads, after the SOTU speech on Tuesday night we had the pleasure of watching baby-faced Florida Senator Marco Rubio make a complete ass out of himself on the TeeVee. Hullabaloo blogger David Atkins, who–unlike Rubio–is somewhat knowledgeable about economics, tried to explain to the the latest "great Republican hope" (before his speech) that not only do deficits not cause unemployment, but also our federal deficit is steadily decreasing. Of course no reader of Dakinikat's posts needs any of this explained. But I still want to link to Atkins' concluding paragraphs.
Why is the deficit shrinking? Mostly, because of the pickup in economic activity. The elimination of some of the tax cuts for the wealthy will also help. The Affordable Care Act will also be taking a bite out of our extravagant healthcare costs.
4. None of this has any impact on unemployment. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of jobs: public sector and private sector. Even though the private sector is doing better, public sector jobs are still declining due to conservative policies theoretically designed to reduce deficits. Private sector jobs, meanwhile, depend on consumer demand–not corporate profit. American corporations are experiencing record profits, but they aren't hiring because there's not enough middle-class consumer demand for them to hire workers.
4a. The lack of consumer demand leading to poor private-sector job growth in spite of record profits has nothing to do with deficits or uncertainty in the investing climate. It has everything to do with income inequality and economic insecurity among the middle and lower classes.
4b. The obsession over deficits among conservative politicians is directly responsible for public sector job cuts that are helping to drive up the unemployment rate and kill consumer demand.
All of which means that politicians like Marco Rubio who insist that the deficit is directly hurting employment are either so ignorant of economics that they shouldn't be handling public policy, or so cynically manipulative that they shouldn't be handling public policy.
And no "reporter" in Washington or elsewhere should be covering Rubio's statements without providing a basic lesson in macroeconomics as context for his fact-free response.
Actually, Village
idiots "reporters" like Chris Cillizza pretty much ignored whatever substance there was in Rubio's speech and approvingly reported on the personal history that Rubio discussed. But beforehand, Cillizza wrote that Obama should focus on deficit in State of the Union
It's the deficit, stupid. A look back at Obama's first three State of the Union speeches, plus the address to a joint session of Congress in 2009, suggests a similar thematic pattern: He starts with the economy, moves to education and then, in the middle section of the speech, addresses the deficit. (The exception was in 2011, when Obama began his speech with a riff on partisanship.) In 2012, Obama spent just five minutes on the debt — less time than he spent on partisanship (51/2 minutes) or foreign policy (six minutes).
He should flip that script in this State of the Union and spend the bulk of his time talking about the deficit. Here's why: In January 2009 polling by Pew Research Center, 53 percent of respondents said reducing the deficit was a "top priority." In January 2013, that number soared to 72 percent, by far the biggest increase of any issue over that time. (By contrast, 85 percent said strengthening the economy was a top priority in 2009, while 86 percent said so at the start of this year.)
The debt is the issue of the day, and one that, if Obama is beginning to eye his legacy as president, could go a long way toward shaping how history remembers him. Make this speech a deficit speech.
For Cillizza and his ilk, "the deficit" (or "the debt," which he doesn't seem to understand is not the same thing) is "the issue of the day," and unemployment and the other struggles of the 99 percent are completely invisible. Oh, and by the way, Dick Cheney loved Rubio's speech.
I could go on and on like this, but I'll stop now. I just wanted to rant for a bit in hopes of pulling myself out of my current malaise. I've realized finally that there isn't going to be any real change as because the Villagers (often including the President) are just going to continue focusing on cutting spending and ignoring the problems facing those of us who live in the real world.
If you stayed with me this far, thanks for letting me rant! Now, I welcome your links to whatever you are reading and blogging about today.
44 Comments on "The Surreal World of The Villagers vs. The Nightmare Reality of the 99 Percent"
It was obvious that Rubio did not ask the why the deficit is shrinking……………..he didn't care to mention that it was from all the cuts in GOVERNMENT……………….Rubio hired Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff for his upcoming, whatever committee.
I'm still in shock over Freedom Works and the Panda and Hillary………..if this is proven, there ought to be some Big Trouble for them. And I'd like to be part of it, take them down.
That was an excellent rant BB. Thank you!!!
Point well taken. Seems there has been nothing new in politics since Hillary Clinton was a possibility for president. Then the democrats got rid of her and that was that.

Check the sum insured offered by your car insurance policy
Each car is insured at a fixed value which is termed as the Insureds Declared Value (IDV). This sum insured is calculated on the basis of a number of factors. Heres how it works:
IDV is calculated on the basis of the manufacturer's listed selling price of the vehicle plus the listed price of any accessories after deducting the depreciation for every year as per the schedule provided by the Indian Motor Tariff.
If the price of any electrical and / or electronic item installed in the vehicle is not included in the manufacturer's listed selling price, then the actual value (after depreciation) of this item can be added to the sum insured over and above the IDV.
In case of vehicles fitted with bi-fuel system such as ?petrol/?diesel and CNG/LPG, permitted by the concerned RTO, the CNG/LPG kit fitted to the vehicle is to be insured separately at an additional premium of 4% on the value of such kit. You need to specifically declare this in the proposal form.

This is the 11th and final installment of this Land Records Series for my 2nd great grandfather. I must say, I'm going to miss it a little bit. However, the wealth of information I have gained from posting these records to my blog is ... well, priceless. I really think that had I not transcribed these documents word-for-word, there are a lot of details I might have missed. That would have been tragic.
I'm not really sure what this last document is. It appears to be a cover of some sort for the land record file, but I can't be sure. It consists of 4 small pages, and I'm really only assuming they all go together. In any case, here they are:

*I know the proof was given Aug 22, 1885, but for the life of me, I could not make this jibberish "say" Aug or August or anything even remotely similar.
So basically, these pages are simply reiterating everything that's on all the other documents in this series ... with two exceptions: the date the patent was approved, and the date it was actually patented. Two new pieces of information for my timeline!
One question I do have ... and perhaps someone who has some naturalization experience or some experience with land records can help answer this: What does "Non-alienation" mean (page 1 under "action")? Could that possibly be the date he received his certificate of naturalization? Since I know the date of his Declaration of Intent, it shouldn't be that difficult to have a date range for his Petition and then his Certificate, right? Ha! This is definitely going to require further research into the immigration and naturalization process. I don't even know where to begin looking ... I know the South Dakota State Historical Society doesn't have anything but his "first papers." I guess I will have to look in some federal court records or something. One more thing for my to-do list ...

6 Simple Ways to Pump Up Your Walks
Build your base.
Start by focusing on distance and good form—you're not trying to win a race. If you're new to walking, gradually build up to 30 minutes. Both novices and regular walkers (who make 45 minutes their goal) need to think about posture: shoulders back, elbows in, chin up. And no arching the lower back or sticking out your butt. This solid foundation will help you avoid injury while making it easy to add in additional challenges, like the ones following.
Monitor your progress.
While you're walking, think about how hard you're pushing yourself. On an exertion scale from 0 to 10 (with 0 being "easy" and 10 being "very, very difficult") you want to go beyond the 3 or 4 most people settle on. Crank it up to a 6 or 7 to get fat-burning engines revved and running. How do you know you're there? Do the talk test. You should be walking swiftly enough so that you can talk a little but find it difficult to carry on a conversation. If you're walking alone, it should be a struggle to sing along with your iPod for more than a few verses.
Muscle up.
Twice a week skip walking and zero in on upper-body strength—you'll increase your metabolism even while at rest. Plus, strong arms, shoulders, back, and chest propel you forward, meaning you'll walk faster and burn more calories. Use light weights or resistance tubes to work your entire upper body with 4 easy moves (3 sets, 15 reps each): biceps curls, triceps extensions, overhead presses, and one-armed rows. Click on the link below for how-tos.
Speed it up.
The number-one way to dramatically increase calorie burn is by doing intervals. For 3 minutes push yourself until you're at a 7 or 8, then recover for a full minute back at a 3. Repeat a few times throughout your walk. If you find you no longer need the recovery period, push a little harder during the intervals.
Focus on the toes.
While you're walking, concentrate on actively pulling up your toes as your legs swing forward. Engaging the front part of your calf (the tibialis muscle) will strengthen your leg muscles and help move you forward more quickly.
Walk the line.
On your next walk, imagine a thin, straight line in front of you. Adjust your stride so that the inside of your foot touches this imaginary line each time you take a step. Walking the line forces you to rotate your pelvis and extend your hips slightly, which lengthens your stride and allows you to cover more distance in less time—and burn even more calories.

Campfires and barbecues are prohibited unless they are within a designated campground.
Kristi Schroeder with the U.S. Forest Service says she usually doesn't see the forest this dry until mid-July:
"Our machinery can measure and evaluate how much moisture is left in those sticks and, based on that, that'll tell us what our forest environment is."
There are also restrictions on smoking, welding, and the use of any combustion engine. The fine for a violation is as much as $5,000.
Schroeder says all of the Eldorado National Forest could be under restriction by the end of the month, depending on how many of the fire fighters assigned to the area are called away to fight fires.

Home > Fitness & Health > Health Library > COPD: Lung Volume Reduction Surgery
In lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS), a large area of damaged lung is removed to allow the remaining lung tissue to expand when you breathe in. This surgery is done only for people with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or with certain types of emphysema.
The National Emphysema Treatment Trial has examined the results of LVRS. The results of this study report that people not considered good candidates for this surgery include people who have:footnote 1
For other people LVRS, compared to medical treatment, may provide an increased ability to exercise and may result in fewer symptoms. LVRS also can reduce the number of COPD exacerbations for some people.footnote 2 But it does not improve the survival rate compared to medical treatment, except for people who have emphysema mainly in the upper portion of the lungs and who are not able to exercise well even after pulmonary rehabilitation.footnote 3
Although selecting candidates for LVRS is subjective, criteria identifying good candidates for LVRS include people:footnote 4
The decision to have this surgery is not an easy one. Not all patients who have emphysema or COPD will benefit from this surgery. Detailed testing is needed to find out if a person is likely to be helped by LVRS. Talk with your doctor about all of the treatment options available for COPD.

California man sentenced in biting of parents
DALY CITY, Calif. (AP) — A California man has been sentenced to probation after pleading no contest to felony assault in the biting of his parents when they said he couldn't see the family cat.
San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Jonathan Karesh gave 26-year-old Yevgeniy Bolshakov three years of probation on Monday.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said Bolshakov lived with his parents in Daly City and asked them to see the cat when he came home from an outing on Nov. 30. He was told he couldn't because it was recovering from surgery.
The San Francisco Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1kGooQM ) reported that Bolshakov punched and bit his 64-year-old father, ripping flesh from his arm.
The paper said he also punched and bit his mother on her hand when she tried to intervene.

Burial park nears completion
Falwell, the founder of LU and Thomas Road Baptist Church, died May 15 at the age of 73. He is buried on the lawn of the former Carter Glass mansion where his office was located at the time of his death.
When completed, the burial garden will contain an eternal flame, a fountain and sidewalks leading to Falwell's grave. Burial spaces will be available for other Falwell family members. The garden will be surrounded by two large block retaining walls, which will be faced with stone matching the mansion's exterior walls.
The garden will be oval shaped and will cover an area of about 120 feet by 80 feet.
Even before the garden was built, the gravesite had several hundred visitors each week. "
Dad, through 51 years of ministry, loved people with the love of Christ every day," said the Rev. Jonathan Falwell, Falwell's youngest son and TRBC's senior pastor. "He served Christ for many years. Because of that, he made an impact on millions of people's lives around the world. I think this garden will provide an opportunity for people to come and honor him. I think the impact he had on people is still being felt and still making a difference."
The burial garden will provide a quiet oasis in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the LU campus.
Jerry Falwell Jr., LU's new chancellor, takes note of the garden's beautiful surroundings.
"The burial garden was positioned so it would provide a panoramic view of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the City of Lynchburg (Va.) to the west," he said.

Crispy Beans: Dilly Beans & Hot And Spicy Beans
String beans are harvested in mid-summer, trimmed at both ends, blanched and carefully hand packed to ensure perfect condition. Dilly Beans are a milder version of Hot And Spicy Beans, flavored with dill.
"Snappers" Pickled Sugar Snap Peas
These late summer harvested sugar snap peas are often confused with Japanese edamame. Are a versatile delight, you eat the entire vegetable—casing and peas (with edamame, the peas are removed from the tough pod).
"Sweet Bells" Pickled Bell Peppers
Colorful yellow and red bell peppers, a late summer/early fall crop, are carefully selected, quartered and blended together.
"Sunnysides" Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Slightly different from the rest, these roma tomatoes are marinated in a mix of canola and olive oils and spices, instead of pickled in vinegar. Use them in any recipe that calls for sun-dried tomatoes.
Tillen Farms offers a variety of gift packages that are something different, something colorful, and something gratefully low-calorie, fat-free and nutritious. There is a bit of sugar in the marinade, but a serving is still just 10 calories for asparagus, 15 for the string beans and snap peas, 25 for the bell peppers and 30 for the carrots. The sundried tomatoes, marinated in oil, weigh in at 40 calories a portion.

How All the Big-Name Evangelical Leaders Became So Incompetent
America's aging class of socially conservative evangelical leaders finally gathered this weekend to pick a presidential candidate to rally around, and, crucially, to make each other feel important again. The 150 or so big-time fundies, including representatives from the Family Research Council, American Family Association, and Focus on the Family, ultimately chose Rick Santorum but came nowhere near a unanimous decision. Let's all congratulate these once-important gatekeepers: For the second straight presidential election, they've swooped in just in time to render themselves useless.
Evangelical leaders, who spend the four years between each presidential election talking trash about how they won't accept any Republican candidate without 100% impeccable credentials, kept quiet and didn't coordinate at all when endorsing time came around four years ago. Pat Robertson had endorsed twice-divorced pro-choice gay-friend-haver Rudy Giuliani early in the race for pure electability reasons. He thought early national polls, which Giuliani was leading based mostly on name recognition, were actually reliable predictors of who would ultimately win the party's nomination. That was stupid. Other big evangelical names, like James Dobson, awkwardly refused to join together and endorse the obvious social conservative candidate, Mike Huckabee. Part of that was over electability concerns, while others thought that Dobson et al. wouldn't want to help a burgeoning evangelical leader like Huckabee who might then take their place atop the hierarchy. Dobson would eventually get around to endorsing Huckabee, however — only after the nomination had been sealed by John McCain, whom evangelicals had long considered the worst human being in world history.
In our current election cycle, evangelicals' most despised candidate has been Mitt Romney. But, again, evangelical leaders have mostly wrung their hands in private while Romney glides to the nomination. They, like everyone, could tell that Romney was the only viable general election candidate and likely to win the nomination all along, so they shuffled their feet rather than back a less viable, but more socially conservative alternative. All of that until this weekend, of course, when they went through the motions with Rick Santorum to save face with their followers (and donors), well after it could have made a major impact on the race.
Who does backing Rick Santorum before the South Carolina primary help, anyway? Newt Gingrich is the only candidate who has a shot at stopping Romney there and thus prolonging the nomination fight. Whatever boost Santorum gets from these evangelicals will probably come at the expense of Gingrich's support base, giving Romney a wider margin of victory.
They're incompetent.

text: I thought that this would be an interesting thread to start. I was watching the special that they had on The Discovery Channel last night about December 21,2012 and wanted to know what others thought about this whole ancient Mayan calendar thing. It kind of freaked me out when I watched it because my birthday falls on that same exact day. What does everyone think about this?

(Please click here for the current course dates and vacancies). Some pre-study is required prior to attending a course and we recommend that you should enrol at least 3-5 days prior to the course to allow sufficient time to read the required boating rules and regulations. We have also developed some easy to use websites that assist in understanding the rules and regulations. These websites have contributed greatly to our achievement of a very high percentage of candidates obtaining their licence on the 1st attempt. Something we are very proud of!

News tagged with mindset
In decision theory and general systems theory, a mindset is a set of assumptions, methods or notations held by one or more people or groups of people which is so established that it creates a powerful incentive within these people or groups to continue to adopt or accept prior behaviors, choices, or tools. This phenomenon of cognitive bias is also sometimes described as mental inertia, "groupthink", or a "paradigm", and it is often difficult to counteract its effects upon analysis and decision making processes.
On the positive side a mindset can also be seen as incident of a person's Weltanschauung or philosophy of life. For example there has been quite some interest in the typical mindset of an entrepreneur.

Holley Power Cruise '07
With half the fun of going to a cruise always being in the getting there, it's no wonder the Holley Somernites Power Cruise held last July 28 in Somerset, Kentucky- with hundreds of custom cars and trucks that left from four cities-was a real blast. Based out of Bowling Green, Kentucky, the folks at Holley Performance Products arranged for six meeting points in Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee. By the middle of the weekend, 1,843 customized vehicles from 14 different states had rolled into the historic little town to enjoy a warm welcome from Somerset's residents. It's interesting to note that Jesse James' gang showed up one time in the 1800s to rob Somerset's bank, but were spooked by a bunch young fellows hanging out with shotguns in the town square and decided to rob Columbia's bank instead. Ironically, the young fellers with guns knew nothing about Jesse and his boys, they were just meeting up to go bird hunting.
We could go on about some of the festivities that were held during the Holley Somernites Power Cruise, but that would mean less room for pictures of trucks, and that would be a real shame. Visit www.somernitescruise.com for information about next year's event.

CU's Embree says staff must coach on the fly
New Colorado football coach Jon Embree told me that, when looking to compile a staff of assistants, he wanted coaches that can make decisions on the fly during a game, without hesitation.
Embree put it in an interesting way, one that I'd never heard before:
"I wanted coaches that can 'teach on the grass,' " Embree said. "There are a lot of coaches that can teach (in the office) on the (chalk) board, but I want coaches to teach on the grass."
Although much of his yet-to-be announced staff with have Colorado ties, Embree said he wanted assistants that have had different experiences.
"I wanted guys with diverse backgrounds. I believe, whether it's in recruiting or having validity with your players, you have to have been there. That's just my philosophy. There's going to be guys that have coached at a high-level D-I, coached in the NFL, played in the NFL, done both.
"There's going to be a vast array of experiences on there. Because when you have all those experiences and something happens, there is no sense of panic. People panic when they haven't been in situations."

A jury has cleared former Anglo Irish Bank chairman Sean FitzPatrick of all fraud charges related to a loans-for-shares scheme that preceded the bank's 2009 collapse.
The 65-year-old FitzPatrick had denied providing illegal financial help to selected clients.
The verdict removes the final charges against FitzPatrick. Other charges against him were dismissed by Judge Martin Nolan last week. The jury is still considering charges against two other bank directors: Pat Whelan and Willie McAteer.
The Dublin Circuit Criminal Court case is the first prosecution related to the collapse of the bank, an event regarded as having brought Ireland to the brink of national bankruptcy.
The ongoing 11-week-old case is viewed as Ireland's most complex financial criminal case. The three directors had been accused of secretly lending more than 500 million euros ($A743 million) to top clients for them to buy Anglo's sagging shares in 2008.
Anglo's imminent collapse in 2008 forced Ireland to rescue it and the country's five other native banks. The snowballing cost of that effort – the taxpayer bill topped 63 billion euros, a third the size of Ireland's gross domestic product – overwhelmed the ability of Ireland to finance itself and culminated in a 2010 international bailout.
It is one of several scandals involving hidden loans and losses that destroyed what had been, during Ireland's long Celtic Tiger boom, one of Europe's most dynamic and aggressive banks with worldwide property investments.
Ireland has since ended its dependence on subsidised loans from European partners and the International Monetary Fund as it continues to recover.

TRY SOMETHING NEW CHAPTER 7: Against The Evil Galactic Empire.
(note: This weeks column will be structured like a Choose Your Own Adventure. If you do not understand what a Choose Your Own Adventure story is you should call your parents and ask them why they didn't give you a better childhood.)
So here we are again. Me at my computer, drinking chocolate milk like an adult. It's 3 AM. I had a really long day and I don't want to get into the details. On the bright side I had dinner at a Chinese restaurant next to Peter Scolari. I also thought I recognized the guy sitting on the other side of the room but I realized after dinner that I thought it was Walter Cronkite and I am pretty sure he's dead. So that was either not him or the craziest celebrity sighting ever. Peter Scolari isn't dead, right? If he is, you all should check out this Chinese spot on 74th and Amsterdam. It's like Dawn Of The Dead but with soup dumplings. Anyway, enough about me. What's going on with you? If you are reading the newsletter in Forbidden Planet please proceed to PARAGRAPH 1. If you are reading the blog on FPNYC.com skip ahead to PARAGRAPH 2. If you are reading the newsletter somewhere outside the store please jump to PARAGRAPH 3.
1. I see. Well, it's good to see you in Forbidden Planet again. It feels like it's been a while. Did you see Forbidden Planet's own technical wizard/artistic muse Tyler yet? He's here somewhere. He is always in the store. If you find him you should give him a hug. He will act like he doesn't want you to, but he does. Maybe he's downstairs. Duck under the rope and look for him in "The Dungeon". (editor's note: customers are not allowed to duck under the rope or touch Tyler.) Go on. It's fine. Never listen to editors, cops, or your parents. The Dungeon is cool. It is full of Abominations and staff members eating halal food. Anyway, thanks for reading this before you do your shopping. You seem like a real savvy customer who wants to TRY SOMETHING NEW. Would you be offended if I made a suggestion? If you want to hear Matthew's recommendation for you hurl onward to PARAGRAPH 4. If you want to act like a weirdo jerk and not hear his recommendation then slither ahead to PARAGRAPH 9.
2. Oh that's cool. And hey, thanks for coming to FPNYC.com. There's so much stuff on the internet. Some folks would have you believe there is too much stuff, but those folks are sociopaths. Either way, it really means a lot to me that you came all the way out here to the middle on internet nowhere to read this of all things. You can't tell right now, but your dedication to our little blog just made technical wizard/evil henchmen Tyler tear up just now. He is acting like he has something in his eye but he doesn't. He is an emotional dude. Don't judge. Anyway, I think it's really cool that you came here. I know you could be watching that video of the guy teaching the baby wolf how to howl or trying to figure out what Hawkeye from the Avengers would look like if he were a sexy lady. But you have a dedication to seeking out some of the worst comics journalism of all time and I think that is swell. That reminds me, do you know what book you might like? If you don't know what book you might like and want to find out hop along to PARAGRAPH 6. If you are some freak who somehow already knows all of the books he/she will ever like crawl forward to PARAGRAPH 9.
3. Hey. Sorry to cut you off but I got something to say. I don't want to be a jerk here but I am a little annoyed. Why would you come into Forbidden Planet, pick up a newsletter, and then wait to read it until you left? How are my book recommendations going to help you now? You can come back in a few days and hope that all the books I've recommended aren't sold out, but I make no guarantees. A lot of people read this newsletter in the store and I am very persuasive. Anyway, I am not mad or anything, just disappointed. Our technical wizard/ jackbooted thug Tyler is really mad though. Next time you come into the store you better hope he isn't in. Lucky for you, Tyler is almost never in the store. Anyway, I want to prove to you that I'm not mad. I want to recommend a book. Cool? If you want to be cool with Matthew launch yourself over to PARAGRAPH 8. If you don't want to be cool with Matthew or anyone else creep on to PARAGRAPH 9.
4. I think you might like DARK HORSE PRESENTS #20. It's one of the great comic anthologies of all time, showcasing amazing legends and exciting up and comers in all genres. Two cool new stories begin in this issue; Michael Avon Oeming's dark superhero story THE VICTORIES, and Geoffrey Thorne and Todd Harris' intriguing JOURNEYMEN! Josh Williamson's great take on the old pulp hero CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT is a great read for anyone who appreciates fun action, which you seem like you do. And this issue also has another installment of one of my favorite new series of 2012- THE WHITE SUITS. Crime and conspiracy stuff done in a fresh and stylized way, THE WHITE SUITS short story makes DARK HORSE PRESENTS worth the cover price alone. Anyway, pick this one up. It's right over there on the shelf. I'm sure you'll like it. If you pick up DARK HORSE PRESENTS #20 walk over to the register where one of the register jockeys will ring you up and say "do you want a bag and board for this?" even though it won't fit in a bag because it is prestige format. THE END. If you choose not to buy DARK HORSE PRESENTS #20 lurk on over to PARAGRAPH 9.
5. The ground you are standing on momentarily groans like an old man before it gives way. You fall for what feels like a lifetime but is only a moment. Mercifully, you stop with a violent splash. You have landed in what seems to be water… maybe. As you look up you can just barely make out the fading sunlight. It's beautiful, shades of red and orange blend together like a Gauguin. You barely hear tires kick up dirt as your only "friends" drive away. Are they laughing? The water is violently cold, a cold you could have never imagined. It fights its way deep into your muscles, into your bones even. They burn against the cold but it is a losing battle. The pain begins to give way to an almost peacefulness as treading water becomes harder and harder. Hypothermia begins to set in and you find that you now think of yourself in the past tense, "I was so young." The universe doesn't care though. THE END.
6. This is what I wanted to show you. It's DAN THE UNHARMABLE. Have you read the single issues? No? Well that's fine because this is the first volume of the collection. It's by David Lapham. You may know him from such disturbing and ultraviolent books as CROSSED, CALIGULA, or FERALS. Or you might know him from a personal favorite of mine, STRAY BULLETS. STRAY BULLETS is one of the smartest and best slice of life/crime/I don't know what books ever written. It's LOVE & ROCKETS but with more murder. Lapham has an extraordinary ability to blur lines between the disturbing, the tragic, and the hilarious. DAN THE UNHARMABLE tells the story of an immortal private eye who gets caught up in a very personal case. It is violent, crass, low brow, funny, and exciting. Lapham can pull off this kind of schizophrenic storytelling in ways no one else would think of trying. If any of that interests you grab this and proceed to check out. If you order a copy of DAN THE UNHARMABLE vol 1 sit by your mailbox for a few days until the postman puts it in your hand. Thank your postman. It's a thankless job. THE END. If you choose not to buy DAN THE UNHARMABLE Vol. 1. scurry on over to PARAGRAPH 9.
7. Her lips graze your neck and you can feel your pulse quicken. Her warm breath on your skin makes your toes tingle. She whispers something you can't quite make out and your whole body starts to go numb. "Did she just say my real name?!" you think to yourself. Startled, you go to push her away but your legs give out before your hands can respond to your mental commands. You fall to the ground like a hostage dropped out the front door during a botched bank robbery. You hit the ground head first and your neck twists violently but painlessly to the right. The acrid taste of bile creeps up the back of your throat and fills your mouth. You can see part of your body you have never seen before; your back. Sticking straight out like a flag, the syringe she used is clearly visible. She leans down over you and sensually whispers one last sentence to you, "The universe wanted you dead." No it doesn't, you wanted to be able to tell her. It just doesn't care. THE END.
8. So these Marvel Now books have been really great. Strong and smart editorial leadership has managed to put together a lot of really smart and interesting books without abandoning what came before them. THOR, ALL NEW X-MEN, NEW AVENGERS, CAPTAIN MARVEL, SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN, there are almost too many good Marvel books to name right now. Well two more enter the fold this week with #1 issues. Ron Garney and indie hotshot Sam Humphries launch an all new UNCANNY X-FORCE this week. Mohawk Storm is all you really need to know. Mr. Humphries likes to take his stories down unusual paths and that is just what an X-Force book should do, go where you least expect it. This may not be high on a lot of folks lists, but neither was Rick Remender's run on UNCANNY X-FORCE, and that ended up being one of the best Marvel books in 10 years.
In addition to UNCANNY X-FORCE #1, this week sees YOUNG AVENGERS #1. Most people don't know this because most people didn't read it but Allan Heinberg's YOUNG AVENGERS series was absolutely brilliant. It was a great idea grounded in very smart, very human characters. If Marvel played their cards right that book should have been the hit that Brian K. Vaughan's RUNAWAYS was, but they didn't and it wasn't. Well now Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie, known separately for doing all sorts of really good stuff but known together as the team behind the brilliant and shamefully underloved PHONOGRAM are reuniting to make the Young Avengers count. There are a ton of great characters to fall in love with here and both of these guys excel at really good down to earth storytelling. And both Gillen and McKelvie are British indie rock dudes so hopefully they will throw in some references to The Arctic Monkeys or Caves or Chvrches or chip butty or stab vests or 56 Up or something else Americans don't understand. I am excited to see a new young Marvel team act like a bunch of chavs. I hope someone calls Captain America a geezer. $5 says they throw in a reference to Ziggy Stardust before issue 6. That stuff is like their bible. If you want to go back to the store and buy copies of UNCANNY X-FORCE #1 & YOUNG AVENGERS #1 do so soon. Forbidden Planet are keeping some copies warm, but it's cold out there. Hurry, hurry, super scurry! THE END. If you choose not to buy either of these books mosey on over to PARAGRAPH 9.
9. "Well it doesn't seem like I have anything I can offer you. I tried to be nice. I tried to be helpful. I recommended cool new books. You seem uninterested. You seem like something is bothering you. Oh well. I hope you have a great life though." With that your time with TRY SOMETHING NEW comes to an end. You can read on and find out if Unkie Dev still likes Hellboy a lot. You can go even further still and find out if that other guy still likes incomprehensible Japanese robot toys. But you won't. Your ennui pushes you out the door. You need to walk. You wander for hours only to find yourself in a deserted part of town. Nearly deserted. You think you are being followed now but you can't be sure. You duck into an alley to get away or maybe it's just to clear your head. Why would someone be after you? You decide to stay in the alley just to catch your breath. You are safe. No one wants to hurt you. A misguided feeling of relief washes over. You decide to make the most of the alley and look into some people's windows because, well, because you're not a good person. As you look into a dingy studio apartment you catch a reflection in the window of a crazed, half starved man looming behind you. All at once three things enter your head. The first is "Was that tech wizard/escaped mental patient Tyler?" The second is "Was that a brick in his hand?" And the last thing to enter your head is the aforementioned brick. As you bleed to death in the backstreets of Anytown USA you finally understand that neither Tyler nor the universe ever cared about you. You realize that you wasted a great opportunity. You realize you should have TRIED SOMETHING NEW. THE END.

The most commonly prescribed psychiatric drugs are antidepressants. They treat depression and anxiety. The first ones, isoniazid and iproniazid, were discovered by accident. They were developed after the Second World War by a Swiss pharmaceutical company (from leftover German V2 rocket fuel!) as tuberculosis treatments. Some tubercular patients taking the drugs became energetic and even rowdy, and so a few curious doctors tested the drugs on psychiatric patients in 1952. Their potential as 'psychic energisers' received press attention. Many doctors began prescribing them to treat depressed patients in mental hospitals even though they were not officially approved for psychiatric use.
Pharmaceutical companies quickly became interested in developing drugs targeting depression. They started in the 1950s with the class of drugs called tricyclics. In the mid 1960s brain scientists hypothesised that iproniazid, the anti-tuberculosis drug, improved a patient's mood by slowing an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter serotonin. The hypothesis led to a second major class of antidepressants called monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) which targeted the same enzyme. Despite justifiable concerns about side effects, both types of antidepressant remained drugs of choice among psychiatrists for over two decades. Their use declined after selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Prozac were introduced. These worked faster with fewer side effects. SSRIs also had a larger market because they treated anxiety (previously the domain of the minor tranquilisers) as well as depression.
Prozac's success saw pharmaceutical companies spend more money developing effective antidepressants with fewer side effects. It reflects the huge gloabl market for such drugs, exemplified by the shenjing shuariuo diagnosis in China. It also reflects the close ties between drug development and changes in psychiatric diagnosis.
