this wound looks like it needs a good Debridement. it should be seen by a doctor specializing in wound care each week until healed. pics and measurements should also be taken each week along with the Debridement.
saw a wound specialist today did a debridement and put hydrofera blue classic on top then another dressing.
we will see.
The wound appears to be getting macerated from drainage. This usually calls for a more absorbent dressing, and looking for a cause of the drainage. If infection is suspected, some MDs would consider using a course of oral antibiotics. I would consider using an absorbent, silver iimpregnated dressing at this point.
Santyl cream to debris it and create a clean wound bed, maybe?
You need to be followed by a plastic surgeon or wound care nurse on a consistent basis. That wound needs a lot of care. Given that I did not see it nor did I assess it, I don't feel comfortable making any suggestions on products. I will tell you that your MOm should NOT be sitting on it, should stay well hydrated and increasing her nutritional intake may help some. Make sure she is getting protein in her diet. Healing will come slowly so don't change the dressing routine without speaking to your primary wound care person.
The SCI-Nurses are advanced practice nurses specializing in SCI/D care. They are available to answer questions, provide education, and make suggestions which you should always discuss with your physician/primary health care provider before implementing. Medical diagnosis is not provided, nor do the SCI-Nurses provide nursing or medical care through their responses on the CareCure forums.
so this is what it looks like now.
as i stated earlier wound care nurse debrided the wound
then put on hydrafera blue classic covered with mesorb.
tape covering the mesorb was opsite flexifix
then after 24hrs changed from mesorb to biatain silicone
using opsite flexifix only on the border of the biatain.

A South Carolina mother braved through rain, wind and floodwaters to get to the hospital in time for her delivery during Hurricane Matthew, NBC affiliate WCBD reported.
Lestlis Matthews got to take home her son Friday after she went into labor during Hurricane Matthew.
When she called paramedics, they warned her there would be a delay because of the rising floodwaters.

Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Not willing to risk the wait, Matthews got up and started walking to the hospital on her own.
"Walking through the water was fine," she said. "Any mother will go through extraordinary measures to make sure that their child is safe, and I had to do what I had to do."
A driver picked her up after she had walked nearly five blocks.
Matthews said she was born two days before Hurricane Hugo.
"I'm a survivor, going to be all right," Matthews said.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Monday that the Los Angeles Police Department will no longer comply with federal requests to detain undocumented immigrant inmates past their jail terms.
Garcetti said the new policy will help build community trust between undocumented immigrants and the LAPD.
"Washington may be stalling when it comes to immigration reform, but it is within our power here in Los Angeles to make real on-the-ground difference in the lives of everyday Angelenos," Garcetti said during a news conference.
- Border Crisis: Videos, Timeline, Galleries
The LAPD will only honor detention requests from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) only if they have a judicial review. The move will allow officers to focus on more pressing issues, Garcetti said.
Local news from across Southern California
"I want us to be focused on gang crimes, getting drugs off our streets and stopping our gun violence," Garcetti said. "So, on behalf of our taxpayers, we are saying 'no more.'"
Last year, more than 50,000 people were arrested in the city, according to LAPD Chief Charlie Beck. Of those arrests, ICE issued 773 detainer requests and LAPD complied in more than 300 cases.
Beck believes the shift in policy will build a stronger relationship with the community, which in turn will lead to safer streets.
"That's why this is so important," Beck said. "This builds trust in a community that sometimes feels separated from not only it's police department, but from the rest of city government."
In the past Beck has voiced his support for allowing undocumented immigrants to receive driver's licenses and skirting a mandatory 30-day impound rule following stops.
"I have a cousin, he was driving, then he passed the stop sign, but not really do a stop. So the police come and get him to the police station, go to the ice office," Olga Cordero said.
Cordero's cousin was sent to a detention center for 15 days and then deported to Mexico.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokeswoman Nicole Nashida told NBC News Monday that under department policy, ICE is notified when the department begins processing an undocumented inmate out of the jail, which can take days or weeks. Inmates are not held past their normal release date but Nashida said that two ICE buses arrive each day to pick up inmates.
She told NBC News that together with their law enforcement partners, the department is evaluating that policy to ensure that it complies with 'best practices.'

Despite setbacks, Stonington family still hopeful of finding kidney donor
Stonington Ś Zachary Abbett's tough life is getting tougher.
The 10-year-old, who has dealt with disease and disability since birth, found out recently that his father does not qualify as a kidney donor and one of his teachers has been disqualified also, both because of their own health problems.
His mother was ruled out earlier because of her high blood pressure, but she wants to argue that point with doctors now that the recent glimmer of hope has faded for the family. Zachary was diagnosed in February with juvenile kidney failure.
Dialysis is getting closer as his kidneys get worse, but Zachary is fighting it, Laura Abbett said. She's hoping a counselor can help her son deal with the impending decision. Doctors typically wait until a patient's kidneys are operating at 20 to 25 percent of their ability before starting the three-times-a-week regimen that purifies the blood and leaves the patient weak.
ōHe's very close,ö Abbett said. ōWe'll find out after the blood work on Thursday.ö
The dialysis schedule is bad enough, but insurance is making it worse.
Westerly Hospital has a dialysis center, but the Abbetts, who live on Bradley Street in Stonington Borough, will have to drive to New Haven because that's what insurance dictates. Their van is approaching 200,000 miles, so Westerly would make life easier on several fronts.
The family is covered by Alan Abbett's policy through Wyman Gordon Corp. in Groton, where he is a foundry worker. Laura Abbett is a lunch aide at Mystic Middle School.
ōWe're really between a rock and a hard place because our income is low enough to qualify for the state insurance program HUSKY, but because of my husband's insurance we can't qualify for it,ö she said. But the insurance company pays only 70 percent of the bill for a doctor outside its network.
Medical bills and layoffs bankrupted the family last year, and two borough residents have established a fund to help the family. Donations may be sent to the Zachary Abbett Kidney Fund, c/o Fleet Bank, Cannon Square, Stonington, CT 06378.
In addition, two fund-raising events are scheduled. On Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Stonington Shell station on Route 1 will host a car wash. Hot dogs have been donated for sale and station owner Shawn Magliano of Colchester is hoping to offer other items as well. Mystic Middle School is planning a spaghetti supper Oct. 15.
On Thursday, the family will go to Hartford Hospital for a round of visits with doctors and more tests to see how Zachary is doing. Laura Abbett said the boy has a long list of doctors and will add another one Thursday when he sees a gastroenterologist who will try to determine why Zachary has started vomiting recently.
ōHe's taking a high dose of iron for anemia and he could be throwing up because of the anemia or it could be he's close to renal failure,ö Laura Abbett said. ōWe go to Hartford Thursday to see his nephrologist for his kidney and a gastroenterologist to see what's wrong with his stomach.ö
He's also on blood pressure medication because high blood pressure is one result of bad kidneys.
Zachary has been in and out of hospitals and doctors' offices since birth. He was born with a mild form of cerebral palsy that still requires braces on his feet. The Save-A-Kid Fund at Millstone Nuclear Power Station has agreed to pay for Zachary's new braces.
He also was born with a vision disability and when he was 6 his immune system went haywire after fighting off a virus and started attacking his spine, resulting in post-viral spinal encephalitis.
He recently underwent ear surgery because one of the tubes implanted to help stop infections didn't come out properly and the area did not heal.
Zachary is on a list at Hartford Hospital as a patient in need of a kidney and the search for a donor continues now that his father and teacher have been ruled out. Laura Abbett said it was a shock for everyone when doctors said her husband had problems that need to be checked out.
They had gotten as far as scheduling the transplant for Oct. 11.
She said she's willing to transport anyone interested in going through the donor screening up to Hartford Hospital. People can call the hospital to ask about the process by contacting the Abbetts' transplant coordinator, Audrey White, at 860-493-2511, ext. 225.
While the search continues for a donor, Laura Abbett is starting to consider another avenue that she feels is her responsibility and her right.
ōThey rejected me because I have high blood pressure and that may lead to kidney problems for me later, but I want to argue that with them,ö she said. ōI feel it's my right if I want to risk going on dialysis later on. I'd rather go through that myself than have Zachary go through it. He's been through enough.ö Article UID=37c1096f-d749-468a-8908-7a8d64651108

I just installed Windows 7 Service Pack 1, and immediately noticed screen flickers every 1-2 seconds.
I have T410 with NVS 3100M, using a HDTV for monitor through a DVI-HDMI cable.
The update may have reset default video settings. Check video control panel for resolution and refresh rates. Confirm the settings, and save / apply / OK and exit.
In this specific case, the solution was to change the resolution under the NVIDIA control panel settings to HD, SD 1080p, 1920 x 1080 (recommended) at 50 Hz refresh and it seems to solve the problem. Previously it was set to PC 1920 x 1080 (native) at 60 Hz refresh.

(Phoenix, Ariz. – Oct. 20, 2005) Attorney General Terry Goddard is warning Arizona consumers about fake sweepstakes/lottery letters circulating in Arizona. A Cottonwood resident received a letter from a company called "Trust Group Services" notifying her she was a winner of the DE-Lotto Australians Sweepstakes.
The letter gives a claim number and includes a check which they say has been deducted from the winnings and is for payment of applicable government taxes. The letter explains that the taxes and processing fees cannot be paid directly from lotto winnings, and cautions the consumer not to cash the check until she contacts the lotto company at a phone number given in the letter for instructions.
"And that is when the scam happens," Goddard said. "Typically the victim is told over the phone to deposit the enclosed check and on the same day wire the money or send a personal check to the lottery company to cover the fees and taxes. The victim is told these fees must be paid in order to collect their winnings."
In a similar lottery scheme, a Glendale resident received a letter from a company called "Telesez International Lotto" saying he was a sweepstakes winner. Accompanying the letter was a check for $2,800 which, according to the letter, was a portion of his winnings to be used for a processing fee. The letter instructed the consumer to contact a company representative with any questions about the processing fees.
"The sweepstakes scam has been one of the more wide spread frauds," Goddard said. "This is a new twist on an old trick. Consumers need to remember that in order to win a lottery, you first have to buy a ticket."
Goddard offered the following tips to protect consumers from falling victim to this scam:
- Throw away "junk mail" solicitations and hang up on persistent callers.
- Never send money in response to a mail solicitation to "claim your prize."
- Never wire money in response to a telephone call informing you that you have won a lottery prize.
- If the calls become threatening, hang up the telephone and call local law enforcement.
- If you have already lost money in a scam, report it to the proper authorities. Once you have fallen victim, it is likely that you will be targeted for future scams.
If you believe you have been a victim of fraud, please contact the Attorney General's Office in Phoenix at 602.542.5763; in Tucson at 520.628.6504; or outside the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas at 1.800.352.8431. Consumers can also file complaints online by visiting the Attorney General's Web site at www.azag.gov.

(This video reflects what your average intern/new hire at a financial firm looks like: smart, calculated, and 3 steps ahead of you)
Wall Street jobs are hard to secure for experienced workers, let alone recent college graduates. Since the Great Recession, you can no longer be a graduate without corporate experience on your resume and consider yourself a competitive candidate.
Those hungry for those positions must begin the search a year earlier, as a "summer analyst," a fancy term for a summer internship (and not an unpaid one, either). They're not easy to get, though.
One person involved in the hiring process at a large bank said he expected at least 5,000 undergraduates to apply for roughly 100 summer intern spots in New York — an acceptance rate of 2 percent.
… Today, the vast majority of students who get full-time jobs at large banks have already completed an internship during a previous summer. That gives internships — not full-time jobs — the hottest competition, and makes the junior-year recruiting process even more intense.
On a personal note, I dealt with this process last year. It was painful, filled with rejection, and took up the time equal to a 3-credit college course. In the end, it was worth it. I worked at a large Wall Street-based corporation and had a job offer before my senior year of college. Some complain that these internships are unfair to those students who need more than four years to mature to that level. But as horrible as this sounds, in 2012, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan are not looking for those type of people to begin with.
[Note to parents: a trick that a lot of students don't realize is that most of these companies have a program for rising juniors. These internships generally feed into the all-important rising senior internships, which means a job. These are always easier to get into because not a lot of people know about them or are not ready to start a high-pressure internship. If you really want it though, it's the best way to go.]

KABUL, Afghanistan - A helicopter crashed Saturday in southern Afghanistan, killing one member of the U.S.-led coalition and injuring another in what was the second deadly air crash in the country in a week, NATO officials said.
The crashes come as U.S. officials are grappling with tough talk from Afghan President Hamid Karzai, whose recent anti-American rhetoric has complicated relations at a time when international troops are withdrawing from the war.
Capt. Luca Carniel, a spokesman for the coalition, said there was no enemy activity in the area when the helicopter went down and that the cause of the crash was being investigated. Officials did not release the type of helicopter that crashed, or the nationalities of the casualties.
The helicopter went down in Daman district, a few miles east of Kandahar, said Javeed Faisal, the spokesman for Kandahar province.
On Monday, a Black Hawk crashed outside Kandahar, killing five U.S. troops. Two more U.S. troops were killed that day by an insider attack, making Monday the deadliest day for U.S. troops so far this year.
In addition to the casualties, U.S. officials are trying to contend with Karzai's remarks that were so anti-American they prompted top NATO commander Gen. Joseph Dunford to issue a warning to his commanders by confidential email last week to be on watch for violent blowback, in the form of more insurgent and insider attacks.
When the email was leaked, Karzai's office responded by saying his comments "were meant to help reform, not destroy the relationship."
Karzai started the week by accusing the U.S. and the Taliban of colluding on two deadly suicide bombings last weekend in an effort to create instability and give U.S. forces an excuse to stay. On Thursday, Karzai did not back down or retract his earlier statements, instead saying the U.S.-Afghan relationship "is complicated" by "terrorism, transition of the Bagram detention facility, continued civilian casualties (from NATO operations), and lack of respect for the national sovereignty of Afghanistan."
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel spoke on the phone with Karzai on Saturday to discuss Karzai's concerns, including the detention facility, according to Pentagon press secretary George Little.
"They agreed to use the next week to conduct intensive work with a view to concluding an agreement that fully recognizes Afghan sovereignty and our mutual interests in security of the Afghan people and our respective forces," Little said in a statement.
Karzai is pressuring the U.S. to go ahead with the handover of the U.S.-run detention facility next to Bagram Air Field. The transfer was scheduled for last week, but was called off when Karzai objected to terms of the transfer, including allowing the U.S. to keep its veto power over the release of Afghan detainees the U.S. feels are too dangerous to free. Karzai said this week that any further delay could harm bilateral relations.
Another issue dividing the U.S. and the Afghan president is Karzai's demand that U.S. special operations forces leave the province of Wardak, next to Kabul, because of complaints the U.S. or Afghans working with them abused local citizens, arresting several. Karzai had given them a deadline of earlier this week to leave, but agreed to give Dunford more time to craft a solution that maintains security in Wardak, which is used as a gateway by militants to bring bombers and weapons into Kabul.
Several hundred demonstrators angry over the delayed departure chanted "U.S. special operations forces out!" as they marched to the Afghan parliament building in Kabul on Saturday.
Kabul's deputy police chief, Gen. Mohammad Daud Amin, said the demonstration of roughly 500 Afghans was peaceful.
The demonstrators are seeking the release of nine local citizens who they believe were detained by the U.S. forces. Banners in the Afghan languages of Pashto and Dari as well as English read, "I want my father," and "We want our prisoners back from the government, dead or alive."
"Americans and U.S. special operations forces must leave," said protester Abdul Hadi.
U.S. officials have acknowledged that four men were arrested in the province in joint U.S.-Afghan raids, but had no information on the other five alleged detainees. They have denied the allegations of abuse.

11-14-13 Fall Foliage Report
Thanks to arkansas.com for the latest fall foliage report. Now's the time to take a weekend trip to see the last of the fall colors!
Northwest/North Central
The Ozark Folk Center State Park is past peak now. There is still a little color in residential areas and on Highway 9 driving to Melbourne from Mountain View. There is also a little color driving on Highway 14 to Big Flat, Arkansas.
Bull Shoals White River State Park is past peak. Wind and rain have gotten rid of most of the pretty colors.
Larger oaks and hickories in the Harrison Welcome Center area have lost most of their leaves in the brisk winds we have been having. Smaller to mid-size trees and shrubs are still holding on to perhaps half or more of their leaves and because of this. There is still some good color here. Maplewood Cemetery's larger maples have lost most of their leaves, but the smaller trees are following the pattern in our area. There are enough leaves in the area left to still be worth driving over to see. A lot of the more brilliant colors have dulled some but, when the sun is shining through the foliage, there are still some good patches of color to see. This area is about a week and a half past peak.
The Fort Smith/ Van Buren area is past peak, but there is still quite a bit of red, yellow and orange in some spotted areas. The wind has knocked off a lot of color from the trees.
Lake Dardanelle State Park still has yellows, reds, and lots of orange. There is still a lot of color around the lake.
Bentonville and along Highway 71 in Bella Vista has trees that are mostly bare with brown showing only from the Oak trees that are still holding on to their leaves. The Bradford Pears are starting to turn shades of darker red.
Mammoth Spring State Park is past peak. The leaves here are predominately brown.
Central/Ouachita Mountain Arkansas
The Little Rock area is still very pretty with yellow as the dominate color, although it is probably several days past peak.
Conway has a spotty amount of color in the area. High winds have blown many of the leaves off the trees.
Daisy State Park in Kirby, Arkansas of Hwy 70 has many different colors at this time. The vibrant colors and the spectacular view of Lake Greeson make it a wonderful sight for fall foliage.
Petit Jean State Park is covered with bright yellows, reds, oranges, browns, and greens. It's been pretty cold here at the park the past few days, but still plenty of color to see if you haven't made a trip to Petit Jean yet.
Pinnacle Mountain State Park is past peak and the colors are fading into an orange and brown blanket over the hills and mountain. There are still spots of red from the Sumac and Sweet Gum.
Southern/Eastern Arkansas
Mississippi River State Park is on the downward side of the fall foliage colors. There a few Sugar Maples flashing their bright orange-yellow and the Sweet Gums are trying to turn red, but strong winds are sending many of our leaves to the forest floor.
The Helena Welcome Center still has a variety of yellow, red, orange and green leaves. Fall has come to the Delta. The sweet gum trees are outstanding, but seem to be peaking now. The ginkgo trees are impressive.
The Lake Village Welcome Center Still has a lot of dominant green foliage on Hwy 65 South, but there are signs of change. The Sumacs are turning red; the Sawtooth Oaks are golden; and Sweet Gum Burgundy trees are Yellow. There is still a lot of green out there. It has been very windy the past few days, robbing some of the trees of their leaves.
The rain and wind has blown the leaves from the most colorful trees near the Corning Welcome Center. We are showing lots of browns in this area now.
Jacksonport State Park still has yellow leaves with some red leaves. The oak trees are just starting to turn color.
West Memphis Welcome Center has recently had more red, yellow and orange pop up over this past week.
The Blytheville Welcome Center has some trees showing color, but most have barely started to turn. There is still mostly green in the area. The Bradford Pear Trees have not yet begun to turn. The Dogwoods are a beautiful, deep burgundy and the Crepe Myrtles are yellow. Most of the leaves are still intact.
The pecan, Bradford Pear, and some oaks are still showing a lot of green in the Texarkana/ Red River area, but changes are expected with the freezing temperatures this week. Fifty to seventy-five miles north in the Nashville/Murfreesboro/ Lake Greeson area the reds and orange colors are vibrant and at peak now. The early turning trees are already losing their leaves. Some orange and red leaves are visible, but spotty.
South Arkansas, near the El Dorado Welcome Center has finally had a drastic change over last 3-5 days. The leaves are about 60-70 percent changed, but some trees have lost a lot of leaves due to rain and high wind. The Hope and Prescott areas have reached peak and are losing a lot of leaves. Expect most color to be gone in next 5-10 days, unless we get more rain.
The Ozarks and parts of Northwest Arkansas are past peak, but there are still a few areas to see great foliage.
Central Arkansas and the Ouachitas are past peak. High wind over the last several days has destroyed much of the remaining foliage.
Eastern and Southern Arkansas are at peak now. Don't miss the beautify array of colors in this area.

A Chicago-based photography store has closed its doors and filed for Chapter 7 liquidation.
Calumet Photographic, which sells and rents photography equipment and supplies, announced on its Facebook page Thursday that it will immediately close its stores in the United States.
"After 75 years of business it is with a heavy heart that we announce our immediate closing in the United States (our European stores will continue)," the company wrote. "It has been a joy to share our passion for photography with you all of these years. We'll miss each other and we'll miss all of our customers. Thank you for everything."
At the same time, the company's website and Twitter pages both disappeared.
The company listed between $50 million and $100 million in assets and between $10 million and $50 million in liabilities, according to its bankruptcy filing from Wednesday.
While some commenters responded to the "goodbye post" with sympathy and sadness, others claimed employees and customers were not told of the news until after the stores closed.
"So my wife is just told NOT to come to work.. she's out of a job.. NO HR mention, NO mention of final paycheck, NO mention of what to do about insurance? NOTHING?! Really???" one commenter posted.
"Calumet didn't have the decency to tell there [sic] employees what was happening they had to show up at work to find out it was closed. How about treating your employees with respect," another said.
Some customers were questioning how they can retrieve equipment left at the store for repairs or be refunded for recent purchases.
"So I have an outstanding order will I be receiving it or be getting a refund, would be kind of nice for the people who did support the business to know!?" one commenter posted.
"I still have a camera in the repair shop there. How will I get it back?" another commenter wrote.
A few hours after their original Facebook post, the company said they were exploring opportunities to reopen "select locations."

A global helium crisis is putting two very different types of businesses in Malta under pressure: diving operations...Read More →
Here at American Helium Hunters, we are creating an opportunity where once there was none. With new technology, we have been able to drill in once-impossible drilling sites. This has given us the ability to now drill in more areas of Arizona that were not accessible ten years ago. These new Drilling sites are now being referred to as the "Saudi Arabia of Helium". Helium is producing the greatest return in its history, now is the time to invest in the Helium Boom! With the new boom to search for Helium Reserves, American Helium Hunters is going to head the charge, we have proven services and personal investment plans to ensure our investors get everything they sign up for, and more! With our new Exploratory Drilling sites, we are discovering Helium Deposits that are going to ensure our Helium supply extends its 25-year expiration date. In the process of drilling for Natural Gases, here at American Helium Hunters, we are able to locate extremely rich deposits of numerous rare earth gases.
American Helium Hunters is committed to focus on the extraction, development and production of Helium and other inert gases, ensuring the world doesn't run out. In most situations, 1% helium is considered economical. In the Arizona fields, helium accounts for approximately 8% with the remainder almost entirely nitrogen! Helium is now rarer than Gold, its time to learn about our investment opportunities into oil, gas, and Helium. Furthermore, the Holbrook Basin in Arizona is the only area in the world drilled exclusively for Helium. What this means for our investors, shallow drilling depths and no fracking ensure extremely low costs and higher returns. As Helium prices continue to increase, the more opportunity we have to expand, low drilling cost and higher helium prices, now is the time to invest.
Here at American Helium Hunters we offer Investment Opportunity, Services, Consulting and Strategies to ensure our Investors are sound in their decisions. We have investment opportunities in not only Helium but also Petroleum, Oil and Natural Gas. With countless years of experience our team is able to ensure the cleanest product using new technology, such as, "Nitrogen Rejection" to safely remove Nitrogen from Natural Gas, and "Helium Recovery" to properly store and transfer this rare resource.
Helium, to the average American is no more than a party balloon and a squeaky voice, however, Helium is much more vital in our society. Many important Human inventions depend on this precious gas to help save lives, for instance, MRI Scanners and Brain Research, as well as, Nuclear Energy. With the global reserves expected to deplete in the next 25 years, now is the time to invest in untapped Helium Reserves. So call us now and learn more about our investment opportunities into oil, gas, and Helium!

text: MMI, the activist hedge fund that wants Brink's to spin off one of its divisions, sent a holiday-season missive offering its help to Monitor Group, the firm hired by Brink's in November to evaluate "various strategic options available to the company." In a letter to Monitor Group managing partners Steve Jennings and Bob Lurie, MMI's Clay Lifflander says his company has spent four years "scrutinizing Brink's chronic undervaluation and attempting to unlock the company's significant intrinsic value through the encouragement of strategic alternatives.†He says Monitor would "benefit from our experience and insights on these issues and would appreciate the opportunity to communicate with your team directly.†Lifflander told me today that he's yet to hear back from Monitor, but it's a busy time of the year, and they've probably got to check with legal and Brink's too, so maybe next week. "One of the things I've heard about Monitor is that they're very independent. If they really are independent then they'll want all touch points possible included in their deliberation…that leads me to think that they might want to talk,†he said. To read the letter, check out MMI's Dec. 12 SEC filing. On a different topic, I posted a blog recently about MMI obtaining a stake in another home security giant, Protection One. In that I noted that MMI only owned about 80,000 shares of P1, and even though that's only about .32 percent of shares outstanding, it still earned MCM (which owns MMI) a spot (#10) on the Yahoo Finance list of P1's top ten "Institutional Holders.†"Not any more," Lifflander said today. Lifflander pointed out to me that the recent SEC filing represented MMI's position as of September. Since that time, Lifflander said he's sold a bunch of P1 stock, and now only owns about $500,000 in P1 stock. He said he really likes P1 and thinks highly of Protection One's CEO Richard Ginsburg, but decided "we need to concentrate on Brink's right now."

KABUL, Afghanistan - The number of children killed and wounded in Afghanistan's war jumped by 34 percent last year as the Taliban stepped up attacks across the country and continued to lay thousands of roadside bombs, the United Nations said Saturday.
Overall civilian casualties were up by 14 percent, reversing 2012's downward trend and making 2013 one of the deadliest years of the 12-year war for civilians, the U.N. Assistance Mission for Afghanistan said in a report.
The rising civilian toll underscores mounting levels of violence in Afghanistan. Taliban insurgents have ramped up attacks to try to gain ground and shake the Afghan government's confidence as international combat troops prepare to complete their withdrawal at the end of the year.
[Asset Included(Id:7000023428834;Type:maComponent)][Asset Included(Id:7000023428834;Type:maComponent)]
The U.N. report also noted an "alarming" new trend for 2013 - the increasing numbers of civilians being harmed in fighting between the Taliban and Afghan security forces.
It recorded a total of 962 battles in which civilians were harmed last year - an average rate of nearly 20 such battles every week - and said civilian casualties caused by such fighting rose by 43 percent over the previous year.
In terms of deaths and injuries, 2013 was also the worst year of the war for Afghan women and children, with most of the casualties caused by either stepping on or driving over roadside bombs or getting caught in fighting.
"It is the awful reality that most women and children were killed and injured in their daily lives - at home, on their way to school, working in the fields or traveling to a social event," said Georgette Gagnon, director of human rights for the U.N. mission, calling on all sides to work to protect civilians from harm.
UNAMA said 561 children were killed and 1,195 were wounded in 2013, a rise of 34 percent in the combined number of casualties. Also last year, 235 women died and 511 were wounded, a rise of 36 percent in combined casualties. The breakdown for deaths and injuries for children in 2012 was not available.
On Saturday, another child was killed when a roadside bomb detonated near a high school in the city of Jalalabad. Eight other people were wounded, said Ahmad Zia Abdulzai, spokesman for the governor of Nengarhar province of which Jalalabad is the capital.
The U.N. reported that a total of 2,959 civilians were killed in the war and 5,656 were wounded last year.
By comparison, there were 2,768 civilian deaths and 4,821 civilians wounded in 2012, and 3,133 deaths and 4,706 wounded in 2011.
The report blamed insurgents for 74 percent of the civilian casualties, saying that international law prohibits indiscriminate attacks and targeted assassinations of civilians. Afghan police and army were responsible for 8 percent of the casualties and international coalition forces for 3 percent, the report said, while 10 percent could not be blamed solely on either side and the responsibility for the remaining 5 percent was unknown.
The Taliban could not immediately be reached for comment, but in the past the insurgents have claimed their attacks were against legitimate targets - such as of pro-government religious leaders, tribal elders and election workers - who were working for their enemy, the Western-backed government.
The international military coalition condemned the insurgents' "continuing disregard" for human life.
"The Taliban continue to attack mosques and health care facilities, they target schools by burning them down, emplacing IEDs (roadside bombs) near them and occupying them for insurgent activities," the coalition said in a statement
According to the report, roadside bombs laid by pro-Taliban forces again caused most civilian casualties, accounting for 34 percent of deaths and injuries last year, while crossfire in battle accounted for 27 percent. Suicide attacks accounted for 15 percent of overall casualties, targeted attacks made up 14 percent and pro-government air raids were responsible for 2 percent. Unexploded ordnance detonations and "other" accounted for 4 percent each.
Insurgent attacks against Islamic clerics and mosques tripled to 27 during 2013, causing the deaths of 18 people.
The sum total of 8,615 deaths and injuries in 2013 was the highest number of combined casualties since the U.N. began documenting them in 2009 after a sharp rise in violence.
But the deadliest year of the war was 2011, when 3,133 civilians died as the Taliban launched a fierce pushback with roadside bombs and other attacks against the increased number of international forces who wrested back much of the territory controlled by the insurgents.

"An engrossing novel that will enchant you from beginning to end."
—David Ebershoff, author of The 19th Wife and The Danish Girl
Li Jing, a successful, happily married businessman, is dining at a grand hotel in Shanghai when a gas explosion shatters the building. A shard of glass neatly pierces Li Jing's forehead—obliterating his ability to speak Chinese. The only words that emerge from his mouth are faltering phrases of the English he spoke as a child growing up in Virginia. Suddenly Li Jing finds himself unable to communicate with his wife, Meiling, whom he once courted with beautiful words, as she struggles to keep his business afloat and maintain a brave face for their son. The family turns to an American neurologist, Rosalyn Neal, who is as lost as Li Jing—whom she calls James—in this bewitching, bewildering city, where the two form a bond that Meiling does not need a translator to understand.

New Haven immigrant's deportation case continued
HARTFORD -- Josemaria Islas, an undocumented immigrant from New Haven, had his deportation case continued for two months Thursday as advocates continue to push for the government to let him remain in the country through the use of prosecutorial discretion.
Islas, who came here from Mexico, has been living and working in New Haven for the past seven years, contributing to the support of his sister's family, which includes three children.
He was charged with attempted robbery in July and incarcerated for five months as he awaited trial, but after a witness placed him elsewhere at the time of the incident he was granted accelerated rehabilitation with reduced charges of breach of peace and reckless endangerment that are expected to be dismissed at the end of the month.
The governor's office took an interest in the case when judicial marshals detained Islas and turned him over to Immigration and Custom Enforcement officials, highlighting the conflict between policies enforced by the Judicial Department and those used by the state police and the Department of Correction, who answer to the executive branch.
Under the federal Secure Communities program, ICE can request that prisoners be held for review of their immigration status. Some states and cities have opted not to honor ICE detainer requests if the person is not guilty of a crime or is convicted of a low-level offense as the objective of the federal program is to deport felons.
Islas was being handled by the judicial marshals who work in the courts and oversee police lockups. The marshals and local police departments are two groups that turn over individuals if requested by ICE; the state police and correction officials do so if the individual has been convicted of a serious crime.
Michael Lawlor, under secretary for criminal justice policy and planning for Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, at a protest for Islas last month, said the state was working to come up with a uniform policy. On Wednesday, Lawlor said he expects the Judicial Department to adopt the same policies now enforced by the executive branch so all the state agencies will be acting in tandem.
Islas's case is complicated because when he first tried to enter the country in August and September 2005 he was caught at the border four times and sent back to Mexico. Under Secure Communities, one of its provisions for removal is a previous deportation.
Islas Thursday said he was "hopeful" that he can remain here if the government uses prosecutorial discretion to allow him to stay. If he fails to get this, his attorney, Renee Redman is expected to ask for voluntary departure after 120 days, the longest time period the immigration court can allow someone to stay who has been given a final deportation order.
Islas's next court date is Feb. 21. He will again appear before immigration Judge Philip Verrillo. He remains free after posting bond.
John Lugo, who heads Unidad Latina en Accion, an advocacy group, said Islas' arrest was an instance of racial profiling and is an example of why Secure Communities is a bad program.
Lawlor said the state objects to the program because it discourages immigrants from cooperating with police and because too many people who are swept up in it do not meet the definition of dangerous criminals.

The device uses the company's 250 W micro-inverter to feed energy directly into your home through any standard outlet. You plug it into the wall, and in another convenient location you plug in a circuit monitor that uses software to sync the inverter to the monitor, reducing the amount of electricity you pull from the grid.
With a set of five panels (which will cost $4,000 in spring of 2011, but will likely drop to $3,000 in 2012) you can produce as much as 1800 kilowatt hours (kWh) per year — about enough to run a major appliance like a refrigerator. It may not sound like a lot, but when you consider that it makes solar generation a reality for under $4 grand, it could be a game-changer in quickly bringing more renewables onto the grid.
Right now to get in the solar game you need $30,000 to $40,000, an expense especially high in tough economic times and one that few households are able or willing to make. But Clarian doesn't believe solar should be an "all or nothing" scenario.
The more homes that have solar, the more stable becomes the grid, and 1800 kWh is nothing to sneeze at. The average home uses about 11,000 kWh per year, so that's a full 16 percent of a typical home's electricity usage.
Because the price point is so low, there are millions of homes that could afford to go at least partially solar. Imagine if 10 million homes got five Sunfish panels. We would ostensibly cut 18 billion kWh from the total U.S. energy load — roughly the equivalent of five 500 megawatt coal power plants.
But the real reason I think this product will be a big success is it has many perks — for starters, cheaper bills! After the four-year payback period (assuming some typical government rebates), your home energy bill could be reduced by several hundred bucks per year.
Power outage? You've got power. And the Sunfish doubles as a sun-shading device which (by some rough estimating with LBL's Home Energy Saver assuming five typical south-facing windows) could cut your AC load by up to 20 percent, making your home more comfortable, while saving the grid another 400 kWhs per home (a typical 2-ton AC system uses about 2100 kWhs per year).
But the biggest savings may come in the form of personal conservation empowered through energy monitoring. Many studies have shown that when people are able to see their energy consumption real time, they get motivated to "beat the meter" — keeping lights turned off and devices powered down as much as possible, and postponing certain appliances cycles until off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper.
All of that means less peak demand for at-the-ready dirty coal power, and the beginning of a smarter, more secure and more efficient grid.

- Jenny
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Here I am! (Jump cut to Jenny running into the kitchen with a head of wet hair and some ill-considered jeans and a shirt that may or may not belong to her.)
I am so sorry I missed all of you last week; I was a little busy observing 12 members of Congress attempting to put together $1.2 trillion in deficit reductions through a series of secret meetings buttressed by a few public hearings in which witnesses said it would be a good idea to resolve that. So there was no cooking. Just a lot of typing.
So, I think you all know how that turned out.
But I have better news about Eggs Adam Roberts. So before you start thinking, "Um eggs with cheese, so what?" -- let me just tell you that the combination of some fun ingredients and a little explicit instruction can really go a long way toward making what is a default quickie dinner into something kind of special. Also I futzed with the recipe.
Of course we're talking scrambled eggs here, with a few twists. Would you think to dump sour cream into your raw eggs? Not me, but I love sour cream in anything breakfast-oriented and loved this idea.
Whisk this with the milk as amateurgourmet instructs. (We all hope that just because the author moved to Los Angeles he won't start telling us to make this with almond milk.)
Now you're supposed to sauté up a bunch of scallions. You can do that. But since we're a sharing, communicating community here, I need to tell you all that I have a lot of hostility toward scallions. I think it is because I don't like their hairy moustache things, or because my mother-in-law's cornbread stuffing recipe calls for them and when I was first married I didn't know what they were. It doesn't really matter -- the thing I am trying to tell you here is that I browned up a large shallot instead. For about five minutes. I liked it very much.
Next, the eggs, and it is true, you cook them slowly, but not too slowly. You will intuitively understand when the middle is wet and running still that it is time to add the chilis. Only I used chili adobo paste, about a teaspoon. Because that was preferable to me, on hand, and I love it. I wish I had added more. In went some really nice sharp organic cheddar grated for the occasion. We ate them with chips and some MrsWheelbarrow salsa, sort of migas-style.
Delicious, friends.
My kids were a little annoying about them. Incipient: "I like it. I would eat more of it. But at breakfast." Then, she ate two hamburgers. This happens. Bacon girl: "Listen, it tastes like eggs. I'm not really a big eggs fan. I like bacon. "Husband: "I really liked it. It was a good amount of spice and the cheese gave it a nice texture. But how many servings is that for? Oh."
Eggs Adam Roberts by amateurgourmet
Serves 4
6 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons butter
3 scallions, sliced thin
1 pickled jalapeno, chopped
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk and sour cream and whisk powerfully for approximately one minute until foamy. Add salt and pepper to taste, whisk a few more times and set aside.
Place the butter in a non-stick skillet and heat on medium heat until the butter is foamy. Add the whites of the scallions and saute 30 seconds or so, until soft. Then add the eggs and IMMEDIATELY lower the heat. You want it on medium/low heat so it cooks slowly.
Stir, stir, stir and keep stirring as it goes. You want them to cook slowly but not painfully slow. If you've made scrambled eggs before, you know what I'm talking about. Once the eggs start to harden significantly but there's still some liquid in there, add the rest of the scallions, the pickled jalapeno and gradually add the cheese. Stir, stir, stir and add the rest of the cheese. When they're just set but not dry, scoop them on to a plate. Toast some bread and serve!

The CHAMP program is the successor HIV/AIDS initiative to the HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (HAPP), financed by the President's Emergency...
Parvathi Shows the Way
Parvathi Shows the Way
Publication info
Sunkari Parvathi lives in Swarna Bharathi Nagar, a large slum on the outskirts of Guntur town in India. She became a widow in 2002 when her husband died due to AIDS. Then, she found out she too was living with the disease – but was grateful when Srilakshmi, Nagaraju and Narasmhan, who study in the seventh, sixth and fourth grade, tested negative.
Following her husband's demise, Parvathi began selling fruits and other eatables, which she carried in a basket on her head at the nearby school and on the town streets. She brought in only a meager amount – little to meet even the most basic needs of her family.
With sadness in her eyes she recalls, "Despite all my efforts, there were times when I was unable to provide two square meals a day for my children and myself."
Soon, Parvathi heard about CARE's Balasahyoga project, which reaches out to families affected by HIV and AIDS, and helps them overcome significant economic challenges.
Through Balasahyoga, a village savings and loan program, Parvathi started to set aside a tiny amount of her earnings to invest in her and her family's future. When she had enough savings, Parvathi combined her savings with a small loan from Balasahyaga to buy a pushing cart for her business.
This cart, being much larger than the basket, allowed her to vend a wider variety and amount of eatables as well as roam greater distances. The cart also reduced Parvathi's manual drudgery as she no longer had to carry a heavy basket on her head.
By doing business from the mobile cart, Parvathi's income substatially increased. She paid back the amount provided by the Balasahyoga project in installments, which enables other HIV-affected families to take out a loan.
But Parvathi doesn't solely depend on her income to help her provide for her children's nutritional needs. With CARE's guidance, Parvathi planted a kitchen garden in front of her one-room house. CARE taught her how to use worm composting to get the most out of her kitchen waste and her garden. Today, the once barren plot is bursting with brinjals, tomatoes, lady fingers, spinach, amaranthus and gourds.
"Earlier, each week, I had to spend to Rs. 40 to purchase vegetables from the market, which would get spoiled easily as I could rarely afford the best quality vegetables," Parvanthi says. "Now, I hardly purchase vegetables from the market but, every day, my children get vegetables in their meals."
Balasahyoga interventions have brought a tangible change in Parvathi's life, and she expresses her gratitude to CARE. "It is heartening to see that my children have something more than just plain rice."

Watch: 60 seconds on Microsoft's LinkedIn link-up
Technology specialist James Gautrey questions whether Microsoft will be able to breathe new life into LinkedIn should the $28 billion deal go through.
From a financial point of view, the $28 billion that Microsoft has announced it wants to buy LinkedIn for doesn't make an awful lot of difference to Microsoft. It only equates to around one year's worth of free cashflow. Microsoft has a very strong balance sheet, so financially it doesn't really move the needle on that front.
Operationally, Microsoft has a lot to do to fix LinkedIn. It is a good asset; it has a lot of interesting data on the world's professionals but it has probably been mismanaged in the last few years.
Profits have not grown as sharply as investors would have hoped, and cashflows have been pretty low. In the last 12 months LinkedIn generated about $250 million, so Microsoft is in effect playing over 100 times the trading free cashflow.
The strategic fit and rationale for this deal is all about whether Microsoft can fix the firm through convincing the private, functionality-driven users of Office and Windows to pair up their license with the public social network-driven aspect of LinkedIn.
Microsoft gave a few examples of how it might achieve this, but they look quite questionable in my opinion. Getting that part right is the key for the whole deal, and also whether investors will trust Microsoft with capital allocation decisions in the future.

I don't know where to start or how to begin. I'm really into D. Gray-man and so because of that I will begin my day by uploading "how to draw Lavi", step by step. Lavi is one of my favorite characters because he is what you call mysterious and troubling to read. This is because you can never get a shred of seriousness from him since he is training to be a Bookman. The only time you know when he is dead on is when he is performing an exorcism. Lavi is also a member of the Black Order. His cool style sort of reminds me of one of my favorite Final Fantasy characters. I had a lot of fun with this tut, and hopefully you will too. I've included some special tip steps for his bandanna to make drawing Lavi as simple as eating pie. I will return in a moment so stick around people. Adios, and enjoy.
