Thank you for your help

"It was the only moment I heard regret slip into Otellini's voice during the several hours of conversations I had with him. 'The lesson I took away from that was, while we like to speak with data around here, so many times in my career I've ended up making decisions with my gut, and I should have followed my gut,' he said. 'My gut told me to say yes.'"

Iowa State Professor Who Was Denied Tenure Exceeds Department's Tenure Standard by 350%
John West
So just why was gifted astronomer Guillermo Gonzalez at Iowa State University denied tenure? Certainly not because he hasn't fulfilled his university's tenure standards for excellence in research. According to his own department's standards, to be promoted to associate professor (with tenure),
excellence sufficient to lead to a national or international reputation is required and would ordinarily be shown by the publication of approximately fifteen papers of good quality in refereed journals. So how many refereed articles has Gonzalez published? Ten? Twelve? Fifteen? Twenty? Actually, he has published 68 articles in refereed journals, thus exceeding his own department's normal standard for research excellence by 350%! (Unfortunately, the Ames Tribune story about the denial of tenure to Gonzalez wrongly reports that this standard is a "minimum" requirement for tenure in his department. In fact, it is offered as the usual and ordinary benchmark for meeting his university's research excellence standard.)
Since Gonzalez clearly far exceeded his university's stated standard for research, the question again arises: Why was he denied tenure? It seems obvious that it was due to ideological bias against intelligent design--which has been on clear display at Iowa State during the past few years, as Gonzalez has been publicly attacked and demonized by faculty colleagues for his support of ID.
Iowa State University Denies Tenure to Noted Scientist Who Supports Intelligent Design
John West
Iowa State University has denied tenure to astronomer Guillermo Gonzalez, co-author of The Privileged Planet, which presents powerful scientific evidence for the intelligent design of the universe. You can read about the situation in today's Ames Tribune here.
This is a very sad day for academic freedom. Dr. Gonzalez is a superb scholar and a fine human being. His research has been featured in Scientific American, Science, Nature, and many other science journals. Iowa State's decision to deny him tenure is a travesty, and the university should be held to account for its action. This deserves to be an even bigger story than the persecution of evolutionary biologist Richard Sternberg at the Smithsonian.
Ironically, Dr. Gonzalez arrived in America as a child refugee from Castro's Cuba. Unfortunately, he seems to have discovered that the Darwinist ideologues in America's universities can be nearly as unforgiving as the Marxist ideologues of his home country.
Stay tuned for more information as this story develops.

TOO ASHAMED TO NAMEYear Started: 2008
We're a husband and wife team competing since 2008. Finally and the end of 2011 we started stringing together enough good turn-ins to achieve our first Grand Championship at the end of 2011. It was an extra sweet win because there were side bets going on among the teams that were 'expected to win' - Hah! That win was backed up by 3 third place finishes at prior competitions.
We further backed up that first GC with two more GC's in 2012. That adds up to three bungs in the draw for the 24th Annual Jack Daniel?s World Championship Invitational Barbecue.
As good luck would have it - we scored! We won the California draw for the 2012 Jack Daniels.
2012 was quite a year for Too Ashamed to Name BBQ. 3 GC's the American Royal, and the Jack Daniels. We're looking forward to what else is in our competition bbq future.

The Positivity Parade
I don't know about you, but more and more I see this quagmire of negativity and hate being rained down on people on Facebook. It's becoming an ugly place where people use it as a springboard to whinge and whine about what you didn't get. What happened to me? Poor me! Boo hoo!
Seriously. What happened to you to leave a trail of demoralising comments.
It's crippling.
Someone on the other end of the interwebz is receiving your negativity - and they have to deal with it. Negativity can be crippling.
Today I'm making it the International Day of the Positivity Parade. Let your good will shine! Let it shine! Leave a trail of positive comments on Facebook today! For friends. For companies. For everyone. I'm officially sick of the hate brigade.
There is more power in the Positivity Parade.
PS - Photo? Fab things for today: pink pens make me positively perky, stripey beauty bag - perfectly punchy, Donna Hay twine - because it's precisely peppy, and the photo is me posing at a Toni&Guy launch last night. More on that later because it's perfectly good news all 'round.

Peter Loorits, the 40-something, multilingual CEO of Dragon-bridge, a company that facilitates business in China, lives in an 1890 greystone on Mount Pleasant Ave. Loorits has travelled the globe, but his favourite region is the Far East and his house is filled with artifacts from the Orient, as well as 1960s Scandinavian-style furniture handcrafted by his Estonian father.
The two styles have little in common, but they harmonize well. The Scandinavian furniture, which includes a desk in Loorits's home office and a mahogany sideboard in the living room, is simple, with clean lines, while the o riental pieces - a round, rosewood dining table with inlaid mother-of-pearl, a silk wedding kimono that serves as a wall hanging and large porcelain floor vases - are colourful and elegant.
Loorits bought his two-storey (plus a finished basement), 2,240-square-foot greystone in 1995. It has four bedrooms, a dining room with French doors, a living room, a large walkout deck on the second floor, two bathrooms and a kitchen leading to an outside sitting area.
The greystone was embellished with original fittings and the architectural features typical of its era - plaster friezes with ornate designs, hardwood floors, high wainscotting, brushed metal hinges and locks, etched glass panes and a carved wood mantelpiece and bay window in the living room - but it was gloomy and badly in need of a makeover.
"The house was sound," Loorits recalled.
"It had never had any water infiltration or suffered structural damage, but everything was old-fashioned and a lot needed to be done."
Loorits has renovated the house twice - once when he moved in and again during 2010-11. The first step was to tackle "the basics," i.e., rewiring the building and bringing the plumbing up to modern standards, stuff that you "can't see," but which nonetheless was a major expense. Another initial outlay was replacing the windows.
"They had old-style aluminum frames that made them very difficult to open and close," Loorits said. "I hadn't intended to replace them right away because of the expense, but one day the kitchen window came crashing down on my thumbs.
"I yelled every curse I knew, plus some I didn't know I knew! That's when I said to myself, 'That's it. These windows have to go.' "
The new windows have solid wood frames and swivel in and out, making them easy to clean. Loorits also replaced the bay window in the living room. It faces the street (his greystone is one of a row of five), so he had to make sure that its style conformed to the 19th-century design.
"Heritage is a big thing in Westmount. From the outside, these houses all have to look the same and I wanted make sure that the renovations complied with the local bylaws."
To that end, Loorits hired an architect "to help with structural things" and an interior designer - Eva Mazur of Design Décor EM - who offered advice on colours and styles. Loorits also tracked down a team of "dedicated and brilliant" Polish tradesmen who worked from dawn to dusk implementing his plans.
The architect was particularly helpful when it came to designing the upstairs deck. Loorits loves to have dinner parties and he can seat 20 people on the wooden walkout, which, he says, is "strong enough to support an elephant."
The cosmetic touches suggested by Eva Mazur - paint colours, carpets, flooring - are evident in the living room and in the bedrooms. The living room is pale primrose with smart white trim around the shuttered windows and walls. The hardwood floors have been stained the colour of chocolate.
"The frieze around the ceiling was in marvellous condition," Loorits said. "Nothing was chipped, so it didn't need to be repaired. The only thing I changed was the colour of the mantelpiece. The carved woodwork is original, as are the white tiles around it, but I wanted it to match the dark floors.
"The mantelpiece is stained, not painted. That was a painstaking and rather expensive job. The craftsman had to work on the detailing with a tiny brush."
The dining room is dominated by the aforementioned rosewood table, which seats 10 people. It has a revolving centre so that diners can select what they want to eat from the variety of dishes that are characteristic of Chinese cuisine. The pale caramel walls are hung with silk scrolls of Chinese landscapes and framed pictures of oriental themes.
Loorits's pride and joy is his ultra-modern kitchen, but it had to go through some structural changes before he could change the decor.
"I took off the kitchen roof and redid it with a water-resistance membrane," Loorits said. "The kitchen was originally two rooms - the maid slept in a small room at the far end and served the food from the butler's pantry in the hall - and it had double brick walls, but it wasn't properly insulated. It was hot in the summer and cold in the winter."
The walls were stripped bare and Loorits installed modern insulation between the two layers. In the process, he found what had served as insulation during a previous renovation - old newspapers from the 1920s and '30s.
"The ads were so interesting," Loorits recalled. "Things like mustard powder and liniment. I tried to save them, but unfortunately the paper crumbled."
Initially, Loorits wanted to paint his kitchen white ("it had oak cabinets and the floor was covered with linoleum tiles"), but Mazur persuaded him to warm it up with neutral shades. The countertops are veined grey granite from South America. The backsplash is comprised of tiny caramel and beige mosaics and the kitchen cabinets have glass doors that reveal rows of glassware and colourful, patterned serving dishes. There are halogen pot lights throughout, which can be dimmed, to create a warm, welcoming ambience.
Loorits is an avid cook and his kitchen has some of the professional touches normally found in a restaurant - a high-pressure tap for rinsing dishes ("in theory you could hose the deck down with this"), a wine fridge and a five-burner Décor gas stove. ("You can turn the gas down so low you can cook on a tiny flame.")
While Eva Mazur guided him along the way, Loorits's own renovation ideas included installing a built-in music system in all the rooms and deeper-than-average insulated bathtubs.
Unlike many people who have undertaken major alterations to their homes, Loorits thoroughly enjoyed the experience and in the process learned a great deal about quality and design. In fact, he now wants to put the greystone on the market because he's on the lookout for another renovation project - a structurally sound building that would present him with a new set of challenges.

The Woods Chapel Road bridge and its connection to Interstate 70 will have a new look Wednesday morning.
The city of Blue Springs and the Missouri Department of Transportation will close Woods Chapel Road over I-70 from Jefferson Street on the north to the South Outer Road and the exit and entrance ramps from I-70 at 9 p.m. today to finish work on the diverging diamond interchange project that began in April 2012.
Woods Chapel Road will reopen at 5 a.m. Wednesday, unveiling its new diverging diamond interchange format that is supposed to improve traffic flow and lessen congestion through the area.
"We are very excited that the diverging diamond interchange will be opening soon," Mayor Carson Ross said in a press release. "That being said, we will all need to learn how to navigate through a new traffic pattern. Please give yourselves a few extra minutes for your first commute through the newly configured intersection."
Because the road will be closed tonight, northbound traffic on Woods Chapel will be detoured to South Outer Road east to Missouri 7. Southbound traffic will be detoured along Jefferson Street east to Missouri 7. And the exit and entrance ramps onto I-70 will be closed.
In addition, I-70 traffic under the Woods Chapel Road bridge will be reduced to one lane from 8 p.m. today through 5 a.m. Wednesday so workers can install pedestrian fencing for a new sidewalk across the bridge. One lane of southbound Woods Chapel Road across the bridge will be closed for this work as well. If needed, these same changes will be made Thursday night into Friday morning to finish the work.
The diverging diamond is an interchange in which traffic lanes cross to the opposite side to make entry on and off of I-70 quicker and increase traffic flow across the bridge. According to a Federal Highway Administration study, the interchange is also cheaper to build and maintain.
This completes the first part of the first phase of the Woods Chapel Road rebuilding project, which was funded by a bond issue approved by voters in 2008. Construction on the road south of I-70 is expected to continue through November.
The city says the second phase of the Woods Chapel Road project is currently in the process of relocating utilities so construction can begin in 2014 and be completed by the spring of 2015.

Matt Cutts on Nofollow and the Siloing Solution
Seven Free Search Marketing Tips for Nonprofits
Coverage of

Bruce Clay, Inc. partnered with For Dummies Publications to produce the all-in-one desk reference guide for SEO. The Search Engine Optimization All-In-One For Dummies by Bruce Clay and Susan Esparza is now available for $39.95 from major booksellers and comes with a free $25 AdWords coupon. The all-in-one desk reference is intended for those wanting to do search engine optimization themselves, providing many tips and hints necessary to optimize and operate in today's online market. But it is also a useful tool for any professional SEO out there needing any extra help. The Search Engine Optimization All-In-One For Dummies is currently available on Amazon.com, Borders.com and BarnesandNoble.com, so be sure to grab a copy today.
At Search Marketing Expo - SMX Advanced last month, Matt Cutts, head of Google's anti-spam team, said that nofollow-based "PageRank sculpting" was less effective than in the past. As a panelist during the second day of the search engine marketing conference, Bruce Clay wanted to gauge the scope of the issue. "How many people in the audience are using nofollow?" he asked. The show of hands was practically unanimous. SEOs were left wondering how the change would affect their optimization efforts. The audio clips in this article let you hear exactly what Matt said regarding the nofollow link element, PageRank sculpting and strong site architecture.
How is search engine optimization for a nonprofit Web site different from "normal" SEO? I asked a couple of SEOs this question, and found out something surprising (at least to me) — nonprofit SEO is pretty much the same as the other kind. The goals may be different, but the basic SEO principles don't change. If you want your Web site to be found in a search engine, you need relevant keywords, good content, unique Title and Meta tags per page, lots of incoming links, and so forth. That's true whether you're saving an endangered species or selling shoes. What is different for nonprofits? It turns out that nonprofits do have some advantages!
Microsoft launched a new, rebranded search engine called Bing on June 1. Retiring the Live brand to its Office and Windows products, Microsoft is touting the company's new search brand in an ambitious ad campaign estimated to cost between $80 million and $100 million. Bing's unique value proposition is that it's a "decision engine" that divides queries into categories, making it easier for a user to find desired information. Bing director Stefan Weitz is the guest on this week's SEM Synergy podcast. Tune in to WebmasterRadio.fm at noon Pacific on Wednesday, June 17, to hear what Stefan has to say about Bing's webmaster support, branding efforts and search technology.
The accuracy of early reports on Bing's search market share has been called into questioned. However, according to digital marketing intelligence provider ComScore, Bing has witnessed growth in search penetration and market share, based on results for its first week of search activity. In the U.K., online intelligence agency Hitwise reports an early spike in searches that leveled out to place Bing's search share above that of Yahoo and Ask.
Along with a shifting search share, it appears that searcher behavior is also different with Bing. An eye tracking study by User Centric compared user behavior on Google and Bing. Those searching with Bing looked at sponsored listings longer, with transactional queries logging more ad viewing time than informational queries. The time spent viewing organic results was the same for users of both engines. As users become more familiar with Bing's interface, the result of eye tracking studies may vary.
Bing has introduced a number of features which may benefit professional SEOs. Bing's search result pages present a higher number of results, each with a greater amount of data. For instance, category navigation gives users fast access to additional results through common query refinements and longer snippets are available through a rollover display. Bing has published a white paper for webmasters and publishers, answering questions like "what do I need to do for SEO with Bing?" and "how does Bing affect my SEO efforts?"
Yahoo has taken on a new CFO, Tim Morse, who comes to the lucrative position from Altera Corporation. In another executive move, AOL confirmed that its European CEO Dana Dunne is leaving the company, to be replaced by VP of Business Expansion Ariel Eckstein on an interim basis. AOL also made headlines by acquiring two companies, Patch Media Corp. and Going, Inc. Both acquisitions are intended to strengthen AOL's local network.
Google gave up two of its executives this month. Facebook hired Grady Burnett, Google's former director, online sales & operations, to head up Facebook's global online and inside sales. Multicultural marketing specialist Don Moore is leaving his position at Google as agency team leader for the central and western U.S. to become president of Burrell Digital, the interactive division of Burrell Communications.
Several changes at Ask.com made the news this month. Former CEO Jim Safka left the company to become CEO of Chegg, an online textbook rental company. Also, Ask.com decided not to renew its contract with LookSmart for their Sponsored Listings services.
Search industry blog Search Engine Journal merged with Search & Social to become "Search & Social Media, LLC," which intends to offer full-featured services and media. Mashable overtook TechCrunch in May as the most popular tech blog in terms of unique visitor counts.

Scott,I am not sure. I wont travel to NY by myself and as you already know it takes a full 24 hrs.(from the time when we leave until we get home) when Steve and joined you and the other members before. If Steve and I would come, (which I doubt right now) we would have to take the subway around to different pizza places. I know both of us would love to join everyone though. Even if we dont make it, eat at least one slice for us. Norma
Awesome. I'd love to go to the Brooklyn one. I could meet up with you all if you're still going strong during the early evening of March 9 (Friday), since I can't get out of work during the day. Or if it's March 10 (Saturday), I could join for most of the day if not all.

Two White House budget office veterans who experienced the 1990s government shutdown lambasted current Washington leaders on Wednesday for imposing the appropriations lapse and near-breach of the debt-ceiling on "the innocent people" who elected them.
Leon Panetta, the Clinton administration budget director and more recently the Defense secretary, joined with Jim Nussle, former House member from Iowa who ran the Office of Management and Budget under the George W. Bush administration, to say it is time to end "this shameful and tragic episode in our history" that hurts the fragile economy and the national defense.
"It's time to govern, to roll up our sleeves and get to work, like they should have done weeks ago in a budget conference," Panetta told reporters at a National Press Club event sponsored by the advocacy group Campaign to Fix the Debt. Speaking as both chambers of Congress appeared poised to enact a deal to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling, he called for lawmakers to address entitlement savings and develop a five-year strategy for discretionary spending. He warned that "if leadership is not there, we will continue to operate in a crisis."
Nussle said, "This is not a proud moment for our country," warning that the country in the future could take one of two paths, "one, another juncture on Jan. 15 or Feb. 7 just as damaging" as the current situation, or another in which "cooler heads who want to govern" prevail in focusing on the long-term future.
Nussle was especially tough on his fellow House Republicans, saying "any child watching Saturday morning cartoons and seeing Schoolhouse Rock's 'How a Bill Becomes a Law' would have known that if the president and the Senate say 'no,' then it won't work in the House."
Asked whether trimming federal benefits should be part of the coming budget conference called for in the pending package, Nussle said, "We may have already lost a generation of public servants who were watching over the past three years and saying, 'Forget it.' So many good people don't deserve to be treated as pawns."
Panetta said lessons from the shutdown include a need to overcome a lack of trust of those in the opposition party and the need to put everything on the table. "We don't elect people to survive in office, but to make the tough decisions it takes to govern," he said. After the deal is finalized, "you'll see people on both sides taking credit," Panetta added, "but there are no winners or losers."

Really Rapid Review: 2012 International AIDS Conference, Washington, D.C.
August 1, 2012
Last week's International AIDS Conference in Washington got plenty of media attention, mostly because it was the first time in umpteen years that it was held in the United States, the delay between meetings due to our absurd (and now repealed) immigration laws regarding HIV.
(Quick trivia question -- where was the conference supposed to be in 1991 when it was cancelled?)
As is typical of these meetings, which alternate with the smaller International AIDS Society Conference from year-to-year, there was plenty going on from a political and activist perspective. Still, there was some notable clinical research, so here then is a Really Rapid Review© of some conference highlights, both scientific and otherwise.
Now the non-scientific part.
Next year's conference is in Kuala Lumpur -- which is, amazingly, not quite as hot in the summertime as Washington, DC, but is much harder to get to, at least for those of us living in this hemisphere. It will be interesting to see what kind of attendance the conference gets.

Paris, 7 April 2013 - As one of the world's fastest-growing environmental initiatives, the Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (CCAC) renewed its call today for rapid action to reduce some of the greatest hazards to human health.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the health dangers presented by air pollution are far larger than previously thought. "Air pollution is becoming one of the biggest public health issues we have in front of us at the moment," Dr. Maria Neira, Director of Public Health and Environment at WHO, said at a recent CCAC meeting. "The estimations we have now tell us there are 3.5 million premature deaths every year caused by household air pollution, and 3.3 million deaths every year caused by outdoor air pollution."*
Indoor air pollution alone is the leading risk factor for burden of disease (years of life lost combined with years lived at less than full health) in South Asia. It is ranked second in Eastern, Central and Western Sub-Saharan Africa, and third in South East Asia.
Ground-level ozone pollution is estimated to cause an additional 200 thousand premature deaths annually.
The CCAC, whose partners include some of the world's leading governments and advocates for a healthier environment, targets so-called short-lived climate pollutants, or SLCPs, as major culprits in the damage to health, as well as crop loss and climate change, caused by air pollution.
SLCPs that are particularly harmful to human health are released through sources ranging from diesel engine exhaust, to smoke and soot from inefficient cook stoves and traditional brick production, to leakage and flaring from oil and natural gas production, to emissions from solid waste disposal.
Fast action on SLCPs, which the CCAC believes is possible through existing technologies and national policies, has the potential to reduce dramatically the number of deaths each year from air pollution.
The CCAC has launched several initiatives to combat SLCPs. With an estimated 19 per cent of global black carbon emissions worldwide coming from the transportation sector, and with a relatively large share coming from diesel vehicles, efforts to lower black carbon emissions from heavy-duty vehicles and engines are receiving particularly strong attention from the Coalition.
Efforts to reduce pollution from transportation include pushing for widespread reduction of the sulfur content in fuels. A World Bank study** shows that, when combined with cleaner vehicles, adoption of low-sulfur fuel would result in annual savings in health costs of US$6 billion in Sub-Saharan Africa alone.
Efforts to lower black carbon emissions also include creation of a public-private collaboration called the Green Goods Movement Supply Chain Partnerships, which aims to accelerate the adoption of emission-reducing and fuel-saving technologies. The CCAC is also working with city governments and stakeholders to implement so-called City Action Plans to reduce diesel emissions in urban areas.
The CCAC has launched efforts to reduce black carbon and other pollutants from brick production through adoption of modern technologies, which can lower pollutant emissions between 10 and 50 per cent.
A major source of indoor air pollution is smoke from cook stoves, which emits carbon monoxide and other pollutants at levels up to 100 times higher than the recommended limits set by WHO. The government of Bangladesh, a CCAC founding partner, recently announced a major initiative to increase the distribution of clean cook stoves in the country.
The Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short Lived Climate Pollutants is a partnership of governments, intergovernmental organizations, the private sector, the environmental community, and other members of civil society. The Coalition is government-led but is highly cooperative and voluntary. Launched by six countries and the UN Environment Programme in February 2012, it now consists of 60 state partners and other key international institutions and organizations.
* Statistics used by Dr. Neira are taken from the landmark study, "A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury," published in The Lancet, Volume 380, Issue 9859, Pages 2224 - 2260, 15 December 2012.

Reports may be suggesting that it's been one of the warmest Junes on record, but at Severn Trent Water, its business as usual.
According to the experts, Britain had one of the warmest Junes since records began in 1910, and they reckon that in July average UK temperatures are set to be warmer than average for the seventh month in a row.
But the water company reports water resources are in a good position and no hosepipe bans are expected this year.
Marcus O'Kane, water resources strategy manager explains: "It may have been warm over the last few months, but it's also been raining and this has kept our water resources in good supply. The Severn Trent region is supplied with a mixture of reservoir, groundwater and river water sources, all of which are in a healthy state with our reservoirs currently over 90 per cent full on average.
"So we're confident that we're in a good position to provide our customers with a continuous supply of water throughout the summer and the rest of the year."
But Severn Trent isn't resting on its laurels - although the company isn't asking people to stop using lots of water, they are reminding people that the weather can be changeable and you never know when the next drought will hit.
Marcus added "We're always talking to our customers about water usage and how they can save water, and they've responded in a fantastic way, promoting good habits and using water sensibly. We'd like to say thank you for that and in fact, homes in the Midlands are now some of the most water efficient in the UK. We've got tons of good advice on how to save water, from getting a water butt to collect water when it does rain, to knocking a minute off your shower time and even free water efficiency devices for your home. All this and more can be found at stwater.co.uk/savewater. Getting into good habits now will help the next time the weather decides to send a drought."

A corneal abrasion is a scratch on the cornea. The cornea is the clear, front surface of the eye. It is located directly in front of the colored part of the eye.
The cornea has several layers that help protect the eye.
Most corneal abrasions happen as a result of:
- Dust, dirt, sand, wood slivers, or metal shavings hitting the eye
- Vigorously rubbing the eye, especially when something is in it
- A fingernail, tree branch or other object scratching the eye
- Wearing contact lenses, especially if the lenses are worn longer than directed or not cleaned properly
- Not protecting the eyes during surgery — the cornea can dry out if your eyes are not fully shut during surgery
- Certain eye disorders
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of corneal abrasion include:
- Having a dry or weak cornea
- Wearing contact lenses
- Working in a setting with eye hazards, such as metal working or gardening
- Participating in sports where accidental eye injuries can occur
- Bell's palsy
Symptoms may include:
- Pain that may worsen when opening or closing the eye
- A feeling that a foreign object is in your eye
- Blurred vision
- Tearing
- Redness
- Sensitivity to light
- Headache
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. An eye exam will be done. The doctor will look for any foreign objects in the eye. Drops may also be placed in your eye to make you more comfortable. It can also make the scratch more visible under a special light.
Minor scratches usually heal within 1-2 days. Some severe corneal abrasions may form a scar and permanently impair vision. You may be referred to an eye specialist for large or deep scratches.
Treatment may include:
Removing a Foreign Object
The foreign object may be removed. This may be done by flushing the eye with saline or by using a cotton swab, needle or other tool.
Medications may include:
- Antibiotic ointment or eye drops to prevent infection
- Pain medications to reduce discomfort
Always go to an eye doctor right away if your eye is bothering you. Steps that you may need to follow include:
- Do not rub your eye. Rubbing may worsen the abrasion.
- Moist compresses may help relieve the pain.
- Do not put your contact lenses back in your eye until your doctor says it is okay to do so.
In some cases, a contact lens will be placed in the eye to help relieve the discomfort and improve healing.
The doctor will likely ask you to come back often to make sure the scratch is healing.
Prevention aims to avoid injury to the cornea. To avoid injuring the cornea:
- Do not rub your eyes.
- Wear safety glasses or protective goggles when participating in sports, yard work, construction or other activities that could injure your eyes.
- It is best to wear goggles that fully surround your eyes and touch your skin.
- This protective wear is especially important during work with high-velocity objects, such as hammering a nail or grinding metal.
- Wash your hands before handling your contact lenses. Clean and wear contact lenses as directed. Never sleep in your contact lenses unless approved by your eye doctor.
If something gets in your eye:
- Try to flush it out with water. Splash the water so it drains toward the side of your head, not toward your nose and other eye.
- Do not rub your eye.
- Call your doctor.
If an object strikes your eye at a fast pace, it can be a medical emergency. Seek medical attention right away.
If a chemical splashes into your eyes, flush your eyes right away and call for emergency medical services.
If you do have eye pain or a foreign object, consider seeing an eye specialist immediately rather than going to the emergency room. However, if you have a severe injury or chemical splash, call for emergency medical services.

When the University of Alabama and Georgia meet today for the Southeastern Conference title in Atlanta's Georgia Dome, UA's defensive coordinator won't have to look farther than the opposite sideline for a few friends and even more memories.
TUSCALOOSA | For Kirby Smart, it's personal.
It has to be.
When the University of Alabama and Georgia meet today for the Southeastern Conference title in Atlanta's Georgia Dome, UA's defensive coordinator won't have to look farther than the opposite sideline for a few friends and even more memories.
The son of a football coach, Smart's own coaching career sprang from the seed of one season as an administrative assistant at Georgia in 1999, just a year after his decorated playing career with the Bulldogs ended. Since then, he has developed into one of college football's most accomplished assistant coaches. Among schools willing to hire a coordinator as a head coach, Smart's one of the most sought-after as well.
A coach is born
Chris Hatcher had a vacancy for one more coach on his Valdosta State staff in 2000, and not a lot of money to attract one. For a season's pay of $8,000 — about what Smart pockets in three days at Alabama — finding an experienced coach wasn't an option.
So Hatcher had to find a hungry one, and settled on Smart.
"You could tell right off the get-go that he was going to be a great coach, and he was a great coach. I had a lot of respect for him," said Hatcher, now the head coach at Murray State. "He did a great job."
So good, in fact, that after just one season, Smart was promoted from an $8,000-a-year fill-in to Valdosta State's defensive coordinator.
"In his second year of being a coach we made him the DC, and at the end of the year he had the second-ranked defense in all of Division II," Hatcher said.
Hatcher said he knew he wouldn't be able to hold onto Smart long, and after two seasons the young coach was off to Florida State as a graduate assistant for two seasons, then joined Nick Saban's LSU staff in 2004.
Smart first caught Hatcher's eye as an All-SEC safety at Georgia when Hatcher coached quarterbacks at Kentucky. The Wildcats featured eventual NFL first-round pick Tim Couch at the time.
"It seemed like every time we played Georgia, you looked up and Kirby had picked Couch off two or three times," Hatcher said.
Georgia roots
No matter how many times Smart leaves Georgia, he always seems to end up back in the Peach State.
Today's game in the Georgia Dome will just be the latest return.
It will be a matching of wits against his former boss, Georgia coach Mark Richt, and Bulldogs offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, with whom Smart played at Georgia.
Smart returned to Georgia in 2005 to coach running backs under Richt and worked with Bobo on that staff.
"They are good friends, and they're going head-to-head basically. It's our offense vs. their defense, so there's a lot of pride there," Richt said of the Smart-Bobo matchup. "They want to win. They're both highly competitive guys. They love football, and they're great football coaches. They're super-competitive, they want to win, and they certainly want to win against one of their best friends in life that they're going to have to talk with and deal with for the rest of the year and the rest of their career. That is an interesting matchup right there."
Smart and Bobo could have found themselves on the same sideline today. A couple of years ago, Richt offered Smart the Georgia defensive coordinator position in a move that would have brought Smart back to Georgia yet again. Smart, however, ultimately decided to remain on Saban's staff,and was rewarded for the loyalty soon after with a hefty pay raise.
Richt eventually hired another coach from the Saban tree, Todd Grantham.
Smart's affinity for Georgia is a natural one. He played high school football for his father, Sonny Smart, at Bainbridge (Ga.) High, and didn't go far to play college ball in Athens.
With 13 career interceptions, which ranks fourth all-time at Georgia, he remains a Bulldog to Bulldogs fans — merely on loan to the Crimson Tide.
It was his Georgia pedigree that got him out of Valdosta. His former teammate at Georgia, Will Muschamp, recommended Smart to join Saban's staff at LSU. Muschamp had preceded Smart as Valdosta State's defensive coordinator.
And it was his Georgia roots that brought him back to Athens to coach the Bulldogs' running backs in 2005. Bobo remembers that season fondly.
"We've tended to compete at everything we've ever done, whether it was cards, golf, who could get to the store the fastest," Bobo said. "He talks a lot, but that's usually in golf. He always has the better partner, by the way, but this game isn't about either one of us."
Strength on the sideline
The notion that Smart is more of a caretaker of Saban's defensive scheme than a master of it is not hard to dispel. Watch Alabama's defensive huddles during timeouts taken by the opposing offense, and you'll see it.
Smart does just about all the talking.
From the spectator's perspective, it looks a bit frantic as Smart communicates as much as possible in a short window of time to everyone from the nose guard to deep safety. Saban hardly ever says a word, meandering far more calmly through the huddle but attentive to Smart's counseling.
"Kirby's been with us for a long time. It's always good to have somebody with you on your staff that sort of thinks like you and you can really sort of trust in," Saban said. "It's one thing to be able to help in the planning of what you're going to do. It's a whole other set of circumstances to be able to implement that plan when it comes to the game."
Smart was named the Frank Broyles Assistant Coach of the Year in college football in 2009, and won the American Football Coaches Association's assistant of the year honor this season.
His players can tell you why.
"He sees things that we don't see. He sees things that happen before they even happen," Alabama linebacker Nico Johnson said. "Every time we come off the field we're correcting things from the last series or things he thinks are going to happen the next series. It's Coach Smart. He's here for a reason. He tries to make us understand where he feels we're vulnerable during the game."
Colorado State coach Jim McElwain worked with Smart on the UA staff for four years, and came away with every confidence in Smart's grasp of defensive football.
"I think Kirby's familiarity with Coach Saban helped him a lot. He's been with Nick for a long time and he knows the blueprint better than anyone," McElwain said. "And he's got such a great way with his players and knows how to get the best out of them."
Johnson, C.J. Mosley, and the rest of Alabama's inside linebackers get a little bigger dose of Smart that most players, as inside linebackers are Smart's position to coach along with being defensive coordinator.
"I've learned so much from him in the past three years than I ever have, even more than from Rolando McClain because he doesn't teach it to use as a linebacker," Johnson said. "He teaches it to us as a secondary that has to know what everybody does from the D-linemen to the corners to the safeties."
Matter of time
As the Crimson Tide continues to work toward what could be a third national championship in a four-year period, the annual coaching carousel spurred by end-of-season firings has begun.
And Smart's name inevitably comes up — accurately or otherwise — in media reports about potential head coaching jobs. Saban has said for years that Smart is ready for the role, but in turning down past offers, Smart hasn't yet come across the right opportunity.
Will this be the year a program pries one of the nation's most respected assistants away from Alabama?
Time will tell.
But his peers swear by his loyalty and helpfulness.
"Kirby was a big help to me coming in, just helping me understand what Coach Saban liked, what he wanted, what he expected, and all that," McElwain said. "He does everything he can for the new guy coming in."
Smart has been instrumental in getting former Alabama linebacker Freddie Roach's coaching career off to a quick start as well. Roach served as an intern with the UA staff, working under strength coach Scott Cochran and secondary coach Jeremy Pruitt, who was UA's director of player personnel at the time.
"I was in (Pruitt's) hip pocket, along with Cochran's hip pocket, and all those guys hung around each other and I fit in with them and enjoyed being around them," Roach said. "I guess he figured I had some things to offer as far as this business is concerned."
Smart helped Roach get a job with East Mississippi Community College, and from there, recommended Roach to Hatcher. Today, Roach is Hatcher's defensive line coach at Murray State.
"He's given me advice on every decision I've made as far as the coaching business is concerned," Roach said. "He's out for my best interests."

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Adults diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer are experiencing longer wait times before receiving cancer treatment in Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Centers across the U.S., according to a recent report.
The growing treatment delays may not be specific to VA centers alone, and whether the delays are tied to worse outcomes, as previous studies have found for breast and other cancers, is unknown, researchers said.
"Our study identified a trend in increasing wait times at VA hospitals that will most certainly continue in the next decade," lead study author Dr. Ryan P. Merkow told Reuters Health, adding that "large, academic institutions also are dealing with similar issues."
"Nevertheless," he said in an email, "â¦these are cancer patients, and living and waiting for definitive treatment for a prolonged period can have psychological effects that should not be overlooked."
Dr. Edward Brooks, from the American Cancer Society (ACS), agreed that treatment delays can cause "significant anxiety among patients." He acknowledged, "there should be some degree of concern" about the recent findings. "How much (concern) is not entirely clear," said Brooks, who is director of prostate and colorectal cancers in the Cancer Control Science Department of the ACS but was not involved in the study.
Roughly 3 percent of all cancers in the U.S. are treated in VA Medical Centers. Colon and rectal cancers, which represent 11 percent of all cancers, are the third leading cause of cancer-related death among both men and women, according to ACS.
Deaths from colorectal cancers have declined due to improved screening and treatment, but prior to the current study, there was little research on the amount of time patients waited for treatment after being diagnosed.
To investigate, Merkow, a surgeon at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, and his colleagues analyzed data from the VA Central Cancer Registry on 17,487 men and women who were treated for colon or rectal cancer in one of four time periods from 1998 to 2008. All of the patients were treated at a VA hospital, although some received their cancer diagnosis elsewhere.
The investigators found that wait times from diagnosis to treatment for both colon and rectal cancers increased throughout the study period. Overall, one in four patients waited 45 or more days before undergoing surgery after receiving a diagnosis of colon cancer, they reported in the August print edition of the Journal of Oncology Practice and online earlier this year.
Half of patients diagnosed with colon cancer in 2007-2008 waited more than 32 days before undergoing surgery, whereas the median wait time was 19 days for those diagnosed in 1998-2000.
Wait times were even longer for patients with rectal cancer, with one quarter of diagnosed patients waiting at least 60 days before receiving either surgery or chemotherapy. Again, increasing wait times were a trend over the years: Slightly more than a third of patients diagnosed in 2007-2008 waited 60 or more days before receiving treatment, whereas only about 15 percent of those diagnosed from 1998 to 2000 waited that long.
One of the factors linked to treatment delays was older age. Adults aged 75 years and older were about 60 percent more likely to experience treatment delays for colon and rectal cancer than were patients under the age of 55.
The location of a patient's diagnosis and treatment also appeared to influence wait times, as those diagnosed and treated at different hospitals were more likely to experience a delay than those who were diagnosed and treated at the same facility.
More advanced disease predicted shorter wait times, though higher surgical volume in hospitals was linked to greater delays in treatment. Marital status was significant only for rectal cancer, with married adults waiting less time for cancer treatment, whereas black race predicted longer wait times for colon cancer.
Whether these extended wait times translated into shorter survival times was not studied. According to Merkow, "there is some data linking increasing wait times to survival for other cancers, however, it is unknown what constitutes a âsafe' wait time in colorectal cancer."
There are likely multiple factors that explain the increased wait times from diagnosis to treatment, Merkow noted.
"First, the VA population is expanding at a faster rate than many VA hospitals have the resources or capacity to keep up withâ¦. Second, the population is in general aging and Americans are living longer. As a result, we can expect an increase in colorectal cancers diagnosed without an appreciable increase in the number of surgeons treating these patients. Third, cancer care is complex and requires the coordinated efforts of a variety of health care providers. This coordination remains challenging," he said.
"I think a hospital or health system should be interested in its efficiency of care," said Dr. David J. Bentrem, senior author of the study. "Timeliness is one of the six domains of quality healthcare laid out by the Institute of Medicine in their landmark report, Crossing the Quality Chasm," said Bentrem, a professor of surgical oncology at the Feinberg School of Medicine.
Brooks told Reuters Health it is "impossible to say what led to these delays." He speculated that patients may play a part, however, and described scenarios in which some individuals may not be prompt in following through with their treatment after diagnosis, while others may miss appointments and not receive priority rescheduling.
"I think this study hopefully will prompt the VA to step back and start taking a look at this issue," Brooks said.

Instruct your Partner
According to Laura Berman, PhD, assistant clinical professor of psychiatry and OB-GYN at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University, it is necessary for you to inform your partner about their moves. They must know when they are doing it right and when they are losing track.

Know your Body
To instruct your partner, you must first know what turns you on. Danielle Cavallucci, a sex coach with sex information company Sexuality Source says "to train your body to be orgasmic, you have to masturbate".

Practice Kegel Exercise
Sex educator Dorian Solot says "kegels are the classic exercise for women who want to transform feeble orgasms into fabulous ones". You must locate the muscles in your pelvic floor. While you take a leak, stop peeing in the middle and then tone the muscles by pressing them tightly when you are not peeing. Kegels should be practiced few times a day.

Take Risks
Research has shown that when you indulge in risky activities like adventure sports or watching a horror movie, your juices begin flowing.

Go Slow
According to Solot, when you delay the pleasure, it builds up the orgasm level. When you feel that you are almost there just slow down a bit and repeat it a few times for an unimaginable explosion of the pleasure hormones.

Watch Adult Movies Together
Watching adult movies together can build up to a steamy love-making session. Also, reading erotic books can arouse both of you and help you have better orgasm.

Add Creativity to Foreplay
Foreplay does not necessarily mean that you have to be together physically. You can have a steamy sexting session to warm up for the night.

Check your Medication
There are chances that your anti-depressants have been interfering with your sex life. If the trouble persists, talk to you doctor about it.

Visit a Health Care Provider
If orgasm is a far distant thing for you, it is time for you to consult a health care provider. There are chances that nerve damage or a low testosterone level can be the reason.

Relieve Stress
A recent French study conducted on over 500 women showed that more than 70 per cent women had problems in their sex lives due to work-related stress.

According to the 2014 New Jersey Manufacturers' Register, New Jersey ended its thirteen year slump in manufacturing employment by adding 2,674 jobs over the last year.
"High business costs and global competition have adversely affected New Jersey's manufacturing sector for over a decade," Tom Dublin said, president of Manufacturers' News Inc. "The state's investments in technology and innovation combined with a top-notch workforce will hopefully continue to support this upward trend."
9,363 manufacturers currently call New Jersey home and employ roughly 400,000 workers.
Notable openings this year have included the Bayer Healthcare facility in Whippany and Tilcon New York's asphalt plant in Wharton, with several companies such as Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Silvi Concrete and Shiseido America cosmetics and fragrances also expanded into and across the state.
With over 4,000 employees, the largest manufacturers in the state continue to be Lockheed Martin in Moorestown, Merck & Co. in Rahway, and Alcatel-Lucent in Murray Hill.
Chemicals, which remains the top industrial sector by employment, saw a 5.4 percent increase in jobs, adding to its existing workforce of 75,000 and accounting for 20 percent of New Jersey's industrial employment. Jobs in food products, transportation equipment, rubber and plastics also increased slightly.
Printing and publishing, the state's second largest sector by employment, decreased in jobs by 3.4 percent. Losses were also felt in the housing sector relating to the reduced production of lumber, stone, clay, glass, furniture and fixtures.
And even though Newark remains the top city for manufacturing with over 9,500 jobs and a 5.2 percent increase in employment, northeast New Jersey saw an overall half percent decrease in jobs from its strong workforce of over 270,000.
But not to worry—northwest New Jersey saw a dramatic 7.8 percent increase in employment, while all of southern New Jersey saw a slight increase of 1 percent.
As the nation's oldest and largest publisher of industrial information, Manufacturers' News has been surveying the industry since 1912. The company offers a variety of solutions to help customers connect with manufacturers and suppliers, including its database subscription service EZ Select and its industrial search engine IndustryNet.
