IU Health Bloomington Hospital awarded Total Joint Replacement certification
An IU Health Bloomington Hospital Release An Orthopedics/Sports Medicine Release An Southern Indiana Physicians Release
— Bloomington, Ind. (October 17, 2012) – Indiana University Health Bloomington Hospital has earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval® for its Total Joint Replacement program by demonstrating compliance with The Joint Commission's national standards for healthcare quality and safety in disease-specific care. The certification award recognizes IU Health Bloomington Hospital's dedication to continuous compliance with The Joint Commission's state-of-the-art standards.
IU Health Bloomington Hospital is just the fourth hospital in the state to achieve this designation and the second in the IU Health system.
"I am very proud of our team for this accomplishment. When I think back about when I arrived in Bloomington nine years ago and the progress we have made in caring for our total joint replacement patients, it's incredible," says Orthopedic Surgeon Jonathan Surdam, MD. "I have no doubt that the quality of care and compassion our nurses, therapists and other caregivers have for these patients is of the highest in the state."
IU Health Bloomington Hospital, which performs hundreds of joint replacement surgeries each year, underwent a rigorous on-site review in September 2012. A Joint Commission expert evaluated the hospital and its joint replacement program for compliance with standards of care specific to the needs of patients and families, including infection prevention and control, leadership and medication management.
"In achieving Joint Commission certification, IU Health Bloomington Hospital has demonstrated its commitment to the highest level of care for its patients needing total joint replacement surgery," says Jean Range, MS, RN, CPHQ, executive director, Disease-Specific Care Certification, The Joint Commission. "Certification is a voluntary process and I commend IU Health Bloomington Hospital for successfully undertaking this challenge to elevate its standard of care and instill confidence in the community it serves."
"While this accomplishment is a team achievement, it all begins with leadership, specifically leadership at the physician level. Dr. Surdam is an active participant in our orthopedics task force and truly has the patient's best interests in mind, continually researching ways to further improve our care and ensure our patients achieve the joint pain free life they're searching for," says Wylene Watts, executive director of Orthopedics at IU Health Bloomington. "With Joint Commission certification, we are making a significant investment in quality on a day-to-day basis from the top down. Joint Commission accreditation provides us a framework to take our organization to the next level and helps create a culture of excellence."
The Joint Commission's Disease-Specific Care Certification Program, launched in 2002, is designed to evaluate clinical programs across the continuum of care. Certification requirements address three core areas: compliance with consensus-based national standards; effective use of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to manage and optimize care; and an organized approach to performance measurement and improvement activities.

Posted on 10/09/2004 12:48:29 PM PDT by wagglebee
A favorite slogan of the anti-war crowd is War is not the answer. Yet everyone except extreme pacifists would agree that whether war is in fact the answer depends on the question. In some contexts, war is the answer.
The same may be said for the two questions that dominate the current presidential campaign. Are we safer now than we were on 9/11? Was the war in Iraq a mistake? Supporters of President Bush will answer yes to the first and no to the second; supporters of Senator Kerry will take the opposite view.
As a supporter of the war and of the president, I have noticed a common omission in the arguments of the naysayers. This is their failure to look at the side of the equation that our enemies control.
Defending Senator Kerrys contention that this was the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time, William Saletan writes in a recent Slate.com: How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake? Thats what it all comes down to this debate, this war, this election.
As Saletan shows, its easy to argue if one looks simply at the costs of the war and at its present status that it was. The war has not been won. A thousand Americans and many more Iraqis have died. Iraq is a mess. The price tag for the mess is $200 billion. How can it not have been a mistake?
This calculation, however, omits two crucial ledger columns: the cost of having not fought the war at all and the gains that can be achieved by continuing the war until it is won.
If we had not invaded Iraq, Saddam Hussein would still be in power; Abu Musab al-Zarqawi would be in command of an al-Qaida army in northern Iraq; the U.N.s 17th resolution ordering Saddam to comply or else would have been successfully defied; the largest chemical weapons factory in the Third World, in Libya, would still be humming along with an advanced nuclear weapons plant (both now shut down); and the forces of terror the Zarqawis and Zawahiris would be doing what in the face of another toothless appeasement by the world community? That of course is the question that Saletan and Kerry and those who agree with them cannot answer.
To be fair, they have made a stab at one. In the first presidential debate Kerry said that the Iraq war was a diversion from the war on terror (though he did not explain how Zarqawi, who is based in Iraq, could be hunted down by a war in Afghanistan). As for Iraq, We would have had sanctions. We would have had the U.N. inspectors. Saddam Hussein would have been continually weakening.
But the only reason there were U.N. inspectors in Iraq was because the Bush administration put 200,000 troops on the Iraqi border in preparation for a showdown and that forced Saddam to allow them in. Does anyone really imagine that we could have kept 200,000 American soldiers in the desert indefinitely while Saddam Hussein played the same cat-and-mouse game with the inspectors that he had been playing since in 1991, or that he would have been weakened by our failure to act on a deadline the Security Council had unanimously endorsed?
Can anyone really believe that sanctions were a feasible stick with which to weaken Saddam Hussein when he was able to breach them by getting the U.N. to support a $50 billion oil-for-food program which undercut their effect while allowing him to illegally skim 20 percent of the entire program for his personal uses, including the bribing of French, Russian and German politicians to protect his deadly assets?
Was the Iraq war a diversion? Senator Kerry thinks we should have put all our troops into the effort to hunt down Osama bin Laden. But bin Laden is probably dead and three-quarters of his top leadership has been decapitated. Bin Laden hasnt been visible since his alleged escape from the caves of Tora Bora. He hasnt been able to mount an attack inside the United States in three years. The most recent al-Qaida threat comes in the name of Al-Zawahiri, his second in command.
And the most important and destructive terrorist alive today is Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. And hes in Iraq.
Yes, we are safer today because of the wars conducted by the Bush administration than we would have been had our troops stayed home or only in Afghanistan. It is true, as the opponents of the president point out, that there is a lot of mayhem in Iraq and a lot of threats in the world. But the mayhem in Iraq is the disarray of the terrorist forces, which is good, and the war itself is the only language they understand.
The Shiite imam, Moqtada al-Sadr, is now seeking to lay down his arms and become a candidate in the upcoming elections. That is the victory we seek. That is the persuasive power of military force, and the argument for staying the course, and for keeping this president in office.
The left doesn't want to win the war on terror.
The left doesn't want to win the war on terror.
The left is full of terrorist.
The left does not want a Republican to win the war on terror.
The left (DEMOCRATS) would sell out the country to prevent Republican success.
The ledger cannot be balanced until all the expenses are in and the job is finished. Until then, it is idle speculation.
There's another benefit I've not seen mentioned: we now have Iran effectively surrounded. I suspect this will be a huge cost savings when the inevitable comes to pass.

RoboEarth's goal is a proof of concept to show two things: That RoboEarth greatly speeds up robot learning and adaptation in complex tasks, and that robots using RoboEarth can execute tasks that were not explicitly planned for at design time. The vision behind the four year, Europe-funded project is much larger: Allow robots to encode, exchange, and reuse knowledge to help each other accomplish complex tasks. This goes well beyond merely allowing robots to communicate via the Internet, outsourcing computation to the cloud, or linked data: Unlike humans, robots excel at systematic data collection, so a system that allows robots to autonomously create meaningful knowledge and share it could provide a powerful feed forward to any robot's 3D sensing, acting and learning capabilities. For more information, have a look at the RoboEarth website.

Posted on 07/27/2004 4:28:54 PM PDT by Indy Pendance
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As many as 195,000 people a year could be dying in U.S. hospitals because of easily prevented errors, a company said on Tuesday in an estimate that doubles previous figures.
Lakewood, Colorado-based HealthGrades Inc. said its data covers all 50 states and is more up-to-date than a 1999 study from the Institute of Medicine that said 98,000 people a year die from medical errors.
"The HealthGrades study shows that the IOM report may have underestimated the number of deaths due to medical errors, and, moreover, that there is little evidence that patient safety has improved in the last five years," said Dr. Samantha Collier, vice president of medical affairs at the company.
The company, which rates hospitals based on a variety of criteria and provides information to insurers and health plans, said its researchers looked at three years of Medicare data in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
"This Medicare population represented approximately 45 percent of all hospital admissions (excluding obstetric patients) in the U.S. from 2000 to 2002," the company said in a statement.
HealthGrades included as mistakes failure to rescue dying patients and the death of low-risk patients from infections -- neither of which the Institute of Medicine report included.
It said it found about 1.14 million "patient-safety incidents" occurred among the 37 million hospitalizations.
"Of the total 323,993 deaths among Medicare patients in those years who developed one or more patient-safety incidents, 263,864, or 81 percent, of these deaths were directly attributable to the incidents," it added.
"One in every four Medicare patients who were hospitalized from 2000 to 2002 and experienced a patient-safety incident died."
The U.S. government said it is trying to spearhead a move to get hospitals and clinics to use electronic databases and prescribing methods. The Institute of Medicine report said many deaths were due to medication prescribing errors or to errors in delivering medications.
"If the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's annual list of leading causes of death included medical errors, it would show up as number six, ahead of diabetes, pneumonia, Alzheimer's disease and renal disease," Collier said.
Puts it all into perspective, doesn't it?
and there it is...
Say you then go into the next room with staph on your hands, and then you put on gloves with your dirty hands. The staph will be on the outside of the gloves from when you pulled them out of the box and put them on. If the second patient has a surgical wound, and you change a dressing with the now-contaminated gloves, what have you done? You've transferred the staph from the patient in 129 to the patient in 131.
Does that explain it? Plus, whatever the nurse touches in the hall--say she shakes hands with a visitor who spent the drive to the hospital picking his nose in the car (MRSA) or didn't wash hands after using the bathroom, etc. etc.
Hospital surfaces are not sterile. If a nurse drops her pen and picks it up off the floor, then doesn't wash them before putting your eye drops in after your eye surgery....
You're right --- and people should look at what is going on in health care --- good nurses and doctors get fed up and leave the field, in some areas many foreign doctors and nurses are being brought in --- not from the same foreign country many times, and unable to communicate with each other. Hospitals try to save money by hiring aides with no education but you can't tell who is an aide and who is a nurse by the way they're dressed. There can be serious understaffing also and a good nurse can make a bad mistake if overworked and exhuasted.
You really need to be watching out carefully --- don't trust your health and life to just anyone --- some health workers are excellent --- but the organization is only as strong as it's weakest link.
Wow, have we become a paranoid nation.
omg! lol Very true - but ewww
After that rant I think we'll all be a bit more compulsive about hand washing!
Which reminds me, Last week I had this very nice Barnes & Noble cashier wait on me - after ringing up my purchases I asked if I could get things gift wrapped - she said she would be glad to do it, and while we were at the wrap station she confessed that ANY excuse she can get to get away from the "dirty" money she takes - and she added when she goes to the restroom - she washes her hands BEFORE she does her business then of course after too - I was thinking, geez you really need to get a job - she's a cashier in a book store, not a toll taker.
I must admit after my conversation with her I started to think of all the money I've handled never thinking twice.
Not just the sick patients either --- the family with active TB who comes into the hospital to visit their loved one --- or sits for hours in a waiting area ---- spreading their germs to your loved ones, who then come up to visit you. Or a family of someone with a resistant bacteria --- carrying the bacteria in or on themselves, spreading it whereever they go in the hospital or to whoever they come in contact with.
Good for you, unfortunately the next best thing for a patient to be their own best advocate is to have a family member watching out for them, unfortunately not everyone has that luxury.
Good Nurses are underpaid for all the stress and responsibility they have....
Handwashing by the nurses and doctors help --- but no one is really making sure that they do --- but there's also pharmacy, dietary, housekeeping, lab, maintenance, X-ray. And does the mop water get changed between rooms?
This kind of report comes out every year. But it also seems a little overdone. I got the bran cupcake once instead of the tangerine with my meal, but somehow survived.
It's not that, think of the patients with wounds, or who are immune compromised from say, chemo.
Hospitals are notorious for passing infections from one patient to another. Lots of safeguards are in place, but handwashing is critical, and often overlooked. Gloves are meaningless without it, as I illustrated above.
Fitz, the mop water contains a disinfectant. A STRONG one.
The 195,000 hospital death figure will go way down under socialized medicine. Those folks will die at home waiting for a hospital bed instead.
What's worse she's miserable and has been for years.
Why not use ordinary moisturizer from a pump dispenser, after washing with something like Lever 2000 antibacterial bar soap which is very easy on skin. I use Lever 2000 antibacterial bar soap all the time in the winter and I don't chap.
For a nurse, I'm washing my hands or using disinfectant 50+ times per 12 hour shift. Lanolin based hand lotion can degrade latex gloves (I'm allergic, use vinyl) so we use one with no lanolin or petroleum, which is not as effective.
Yes --- if they mix it right or change it when they should --- but how carefully are things like that always checked? I've seen some filthy hospital floors --- blood from a previous patient on the floor. I was shocked at a bathroom near an Emergency Room with used dirty toilet paper thrown on the floor piled up in each stall. It was obviously used by some pretty disgusting people --- more than one --- and hadn't been cleaned for hours.
Agreed. I've never seen that, though, at our small hospitals.
One good thing with some of the costs savings by insurance companies was to send people home sooner --- there are less complications and risk of disease --- people with Open Heart surgery used to stay a couple weeks and now go home in 5 days, OB patients often stay less than 24 hours --- all that means few visitors and less time for hospital acquired infections.
I watched my M-in-L treated for a stroke in a Florida hospital, and compared to hospitals I'd visited around here in Cincinnati , I thought I was in Mexico.( My wife went to Wal Mart and bought them some fans as the AC wasn't working in the facility FOR DAYS) But then I spent the only two hours I've ever spent as a patient, in a major hospital up here for a simple hernia repair ,and wound up with an abcess , worse than the damn hernia , from a staff infection. This story rings true to my ( thank the Lord) limited real experience in hospitals.

The Bronx mother accused of smothering her infant son to death two years ago and discarding his body in Jackson Heights pleaded guilty to manslaughter last Thursday, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.
Lucila Rojas, 27, admitted to suffocating the child on Dec. 31, 2006, Brown said. Rojas will likely be sentenced to 15 years in prison Jan. 29, Brown said.
Rojas picked up her 2−week−old son, Anthony, from the Bronx's Jacobi Hospital, where he was receiving treatment following his premature birth, on Dec. 31, 2006. After signing Anthony out of the hospital, Rojas placed a blanket over his face until he stopped breathing and got on a bus to Jackson Heights. She got off and dumped the infant's body in a trash can near 100th Street and Northern Boulevard.
Rojas reported Anthony missing on Jan. 8, 2007, claiming that he had been taken from her at gunpoint while she was traveling to the hospital. She changed her story several times while talking with investigators before admitting to killing the infant.
Homicide detectives searched the Pennsylvania landfill where the area's garbage would have been taken, but Anthony's body was never found.
"I can think of no crime which tugs more at the heartstrings more than that of a parent who kills their own child," Brown said in a statement. "Under the circumstances, the sentence to be imposed is more than warranted."
Rojas told authorities the child was the result of being raped in Mexico before she fled to the United States, Brown said.

main ney aik baat pochni hai keh meri wife mery penise ko suck ker sakti hai ager us per condome cherha huva hoo. plz reply me
May my wife suck my penis if there is condom on it? Please reply.
read this article
is oral sex permitted.
Well dear as far as I have studied about the Oral sex after this question that does it permissible in Islam has been raised so many times, I have come to the following conclusion:
There is nothing advised in Quran as far as oral sex is concerned and even in Hadith there is no clear cut demarcation that either it is right or wrong. However majority of Ulama and Islamic scholars have Ijma on the fact that this act must be avoided. The Fatwa is that semen and pre-seminal fluid and the fluid that comes out from the vagina during sexual excitement all are Nujis that is Impure. It is haram that any of the above mentioned fluid will touch the mouth of either husband or wife and if in any case it so happen then he or she must wash it away. These scholars declared oral sex as Makruh-e- Tahremi (The dis-liked act in the eyes of Allah and his Prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him).
I have also come to the conclusion that there is a difference between Oral sex and Oral stimulation. Most of the people who coutes Ahadits deliberately dont show any demarcation that whether the subject being discussed in that hadit is about oral sex or oral stimulation. They try to make amalgam of it and present in such a manner that it seems like oral sex is permissible.
Has it been thought that why the God has awarded humans the brain and conscience. Whether they are useless thing? Once we proceed to do some thing its our brain and conscience that guide us on the righteous path. As it is said that Allah is in our insight. Yes! It is true. He is Allah who guides us on the right way. Why he has made the man His Khalifa. Why he descended us on earth. If we think over these questions we will go in the world where we can get our true identity. The degree and dignity of the humans are supreme and as we know that in the heavens All angels including Hazrat Jibraeel has offered Sajdah to Hazrat Adam, except only one named, Iblees or so called Sattan. Now let think over:
Although Allah Taala havent declared oral sex Haram in Quran and even we will not find hadith over it, but there are always some rationales that guide us for which is right and which is wrong as Allah says in Quran:
ﺍﺱ ﻣﻴﮟ ﻋﻘﻞ ﻭﺍﻟﻮﮞ ﻛﻴﻠﻴﮯ ﻧﺸﺎﻧﻴﺎﮞ ﮨﻴﮟ.
In my opinion oral stimulation like kissing on genitals could be right to some extend till the mouth or lips dont touch secretions, however no way of Oral Sex.
Dr k k ka reply bht acha hai
no more words to say
very nice
sub kuch clear ho gya mujhey
never its not allowd in islam
saudi fatwa aik specific maslaq se hai... aur mostly suadi arab main wahabi maslac hai... But pakistan main Multiple different maslac ke loog will not follow only saudi fatwa... aur hosakta hai Hafiz Imran saheb bhi same maslac se hon....
I dont think ke tmam ya Most Maslac ke Ulma will allow oral sex... ager most Maslac agree nahee hain to hum her kissi ko nahee keh sakte ke Oral sex allow hai... may be allowed for specific maslac group...
Well rafaz has given me a very nice and brilliant answer and I am really happy with it. I don't want to make some body up or down however I wanted to invite in discussion over the issue. He has given a lot of references. Name of a book as well and its author. Before starting the discussion lets take all his references one by one:
Doctor K K: Unfortunately I did not see that book therefore I would get it and read it as soon as possible.
Reference 2. Islamquestionanswer.com. at this web site the display was- Site Temporarily Unavailable
Reference 3. islamweb.net
Fatwa No 82510 Following is the fatwa:
Doctor K K: See sperm requires ghusal it comes in Najasat-e- ghaleeza, Semen don't require qhusal if comes out un- intentionally since it comes in Najasat-e- Afeefa. Make sure one more thing semen with out sperms cant come out.
Fatwa no 91755
If a man ejaculates drops of sperm without any desire he is not obliged to perform Ghusl (ritual bath) according to the majority of the scholars. However, the Shaafi'ee school and the scholars who are of their view are of the opinion that it necessitates Ghusl. Nonetheless, the most preponderant opinion is the view of the majority of the scholars.
Reference 4: isam-qa.com
They quoted as evidence the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "O 'Ammaar, garments should be washed in five cases: stools, urine, vomit, blood and semen."

Reference 6: islamonline.net Following have been found on the top:
Upon His Messenger. The impurity of semen is a controversial issue among scholars. Imam Ahmad (may Allah bless his soul) believes it is pure, but the majority of scholars consider it as...
Doctor K K: The sentence is incomplete may be it would be said that majority of scholars consider it as impure. There a lot of Fatwa there on that page but all of them where not completely shown. Some of them were on the side that semen is pure, while other on the side that it is impure. For proving and dis-proving that little abstracts were insufficient.
Reference 7: turntoislam.com-
Doctor K K : That is the forum where people discuss their matters. I did not find it authentic for proving or dis-proving any matter
Reference 8:islamawareness.net/ghusl/fatwa_oral.html-
Doctor K K: What we have seen on it is as follows:
As for oral sex, it is only permitted as a way of stimulation and foreplay. Scholars say that it is Makrooh to do it with the intention of ejaculating in wife's mouth. This is based on the jurists' views regarding the impurity of sperm and Madhy. Anyway, if a husband does have oral sex with his wife, and ejaculates sperm, then Ghusl is obligatory; however, if he only releases Madhy then Wudu' is only required, and the wife has to wash the Madhy away because it is Najis.
Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and an Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, answers:
"There is a difference of opinion among the founders of the Four Schools of Jurisprudence regarding whether Mani (semen) is Najas (impure) or not. While both Imams Abu Hanifah and Malik consider it Najas, both Imams Shafi`i and Ahmad do not consider it as such. These differences notwithstanding, all of them insist on washing it away if it is wet, and if dry, scrubbing or erasing it from body, cloth or any other surface it may have come into contact with.
When we inquire into the cause behind the above differences of opinion, we can readily see that it stems from the different ways the Imams interpreted the various traditions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as well as from the analogies they based their views on.
As far as the "oral sex" question is concerned, we had deliberately avoided the phrase "oral sex" to avoid confusion with "oral stimulation". Further, we must clearly indicate that any deliberate act of sexual intercourse must be done in the place created for it (i.e., the vagina), while oral stimulation itself is permissible. (Doctor K K: Clearly indicating that intercourse must only be in vagina, the natural route, no other way.).If, however, during the course of oral stimulation, ejaculation takes place, one must wash it away if it gets in one's clothing or mouth. We must further add that no Muslim should ever consider consuming it in any way.
As far as Madhy (pre-seminal fluid) in males as well as its lubricating equivalent in females is concerned, it is considered Najas (impure) in all of the accepted Schools of Fiqh (Jurisprudence) and, therefore, one must definitely wash it away."
Doctor K K: Some scholars calling Madhy semen, while some as pre- seminal fluid. Both are same and remember semen always comes with Mani ( Sperms) which is Najis in the eyes of all Ula'mas.
Doctor K K: I have found following things that I want to share with you:
Fatwa No: 89730
Can a husband kiss the vagina of his wife? Can the wife swallow the semen of her husband?
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. Swallowing the sperm is forbidden even according to the scholars who do not consider it impure. ImaamAn-Nawawi said in Al-Majmoo': 'There are two opinions about swallowing sperm. However, the most correct opinion is that it is forbidden because it is filthy. Allaah says (which means): {And forbids them what is khabaa'ith (evil things, evil deeds, evil beliefs, evil persons and filthy food).}[Qur'an 7:157].' (source: islamweb.net)
There are two opinions as to whether female ejaculation (sexual discharge) is impure or not. One group of scholars say that it is not, supporting their view with the fact that it is part of the person and from it humans are created. They also argue for the purity of semen and sexual discharge by quoting the report that `A'ishah(may Allah be pleased with her) used to wipe off the clothes in which she found the Prophet's semen after they had dried. Had it been impure, she would not have wiped it off, she would have washed it.
There is a Hadith please see it:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,'Avoid that which is doubtful', for, 'thereby one keeps his honor and religion intact.'
Doctor k K: Final words: semen is pure or impure remained controversial. But according to the Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him avoid doubtful things. Therefore, with out going into the depth of whether it is pure or not any body should avoid oral sex.
MashAllah... SubhanAllah
you have done amazing work here..
Agreed to Doctor K K

PO-Projects 0.1.8
Django application to manage PO files for project translations
Latest Version: 0.8.3
PO Projects is a first attempt to build a PO file management factory like, somehow like Transifex, but more simplest.
Principle is to have a frontend board to create new PO project from a POT file to import, then add it and manage language translation and finally export all these PO to include it in your app (django or another).
This is in beta staging, models are not stable yet, there is no documentation and frontend is far from usable, you've be warned!
Actually we have
- View to create new project from a PO/POT file;
- View to create new project translation and edit them;
- View to export project translations as PO files;
- View to export an archive (zip/tarball) of all translations as PO files from a project;
- Manage fuzzy mode for translations;
For beta staging this should implement
- Form to import a catalog (PO) to update a catalog;
- Better global ergonomy;
- Better model admin;
- Permission restriction;
- User authoring to know who has done what;
- External API access to get PO files or global project archive from external tools (like Optimus or a Django app from an external site) ?
- Restrict external API access

No, not to see one privately.
The erythema nodosum is usually first treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen. If the inflammation is more persistent or severe, then using a steroid for relief of inflammation would be an option. Only the non-steroidal drugs are available over the counter.
It is also frequently soothing to apply cool, wet compresses and to rest and elevate the legs several times during the day.
It is also frequently associated with an underlying systemic disease, such as Crohns disease, and treatment of the underlying condition will usually have a great effect on the erthema nodosum. If there is a possibility of Crohns disease and the GI consultant has not contacted you, then it would be appropriate for you to contact the GI consultant.
It is not needed, in that any specialist may choose to see patients without a referral. However, any individual specialist may also choose to only see patients by referral.

Driving a 'clunker' is more about attitude than sound or fuel efficiency
Published 7:00 pm, Tuesday, August 11, 2009
Clunker is onomatopoetic, which, thanks to its Greek origin (word-making), is to say the term "clunker" came into being according to sound, or so surmises a wordsmith/reference librarian at the Midland County Public Library.
There is, for example, the clunking sound of a "cork (that) is quickly drawn" from a bottle or a liquid intermittently flowing from a bottle, states Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. There is the "clunk" of a worn-out and missing engine virtually without spark.
Among words remotely or closely linked to onomatopoeia are a cat's cry, the meow; a person's murmur; a clock's cuckoo; and a bee's or a saw's buzz. The imagination and rhythm more than mere sound come into play in the word "voluptuous" as in femininely sculptured with delight (the beauty of Venus de Milo and Marilyn Monroe) and the word vivacious as in spirited and full of life and vigor. The phonics reflects meaning.
In the clunking realm, one person's rough-running clunker could be another's melodic sweetheart merely in need of a tune-up, sincere attention and steadfast maintenance - work.
Automobiles, like airplanes and sailing ships, have a soul - just as do you and old Ed Todd. Unlike humans, however, they are not so vain or faith-imbued as somehow to believe they will last in eternity. But, like humans and all of God's wondrous creatures and critters, they are subject to Murphy's Law, both facetious and realistic, that "If something can go wrong, it will." The moral is "To Be Aware" and "To Beware."
Murphy's Law possibly came out of ships at sea where, just like airships aloft, it would be prudent to "be prepared" just in case something does go awry. There is rarely time to tarry.
The essence of the message simply is "to fix up the old and make it anew."
The term "clunker" recently camr into prominence due to the federal government's Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS), commonly called Cash for Clunkers, which, overall, is a misnomer probably, because it is a catchy, though imprecise, phrase. If your road-worthy vehicle fits the government's mold, you don't get cash. You get a voucher. You turn your mid-1980s or later fuel-inefficient vehicle over to a dealership, and you get $4,500 or so knocked off the price of a fuel-efficient car or truck, but not if it is too luxurious or tractor-big.
It is yet another economic stimulus or incentive. And, no surprise, it is another opportunity for Americans to go further into debt unless, of course, there are provisions for economic vehicles priced no higher than worth of the voucher. It is all about getting the greenbacks flowing.
True to the nation's penchant for waste and squandering resources, the condemned vehicles are crushed and shredded after their engines have been rendered inoperable and after parts, other than engines, have been salvaged.
Before it is too late, automobile fanciers may want to consider if there are any "classics" among the condemned models from the mid-1980s forward. Many of the latter-day cars and trucks have become moving blocks of plastic-and-metal shells on wheels, but without distinctive styling. Sadly, often only their logos differentiate one from the other. It is not like days of old when styling was paramount.
Experience says there has been much regret born out of haste and yearning for newer models without considering the aesthetic worth of vehicles that, by hindsight, seemed to be designed and built to become classics.
In America, there are thousands of stories of regret long before "economic stimulus" became threatened with cliché status. The phrase is becoming so weary its effectiveness has waned.
Within the Todd family, the automobile which the Todd brothers most wished stayed in the family was the 1941 Chevrolet sedan, which was garaged throughout the war. It was a pristine "dream" car which was replaced with a 1952 Chevrolet. The 1941 sedan succeeded the troublesome and thoroughly black 1936 Chevrolet sedan, which was closest to being a clunker, for it always, it seems, balked and begged attention.
Automobile fanciers who use the term "clunker" often say it with affection, not derogatorily, and do not cast the clunker as dilapidated. If you have entertained a car or truck long enough, chances are it will hold sentimentality and worth beyond dollars.

Bruno Mars Bruno Mars Name: Peter Gene Hernandez
Born: October 8th, 1985 in Honolulu Hawaii
Father: Peter Hernandez
Mother: Bernadette
Siblings: Presley, Eric, Jamie, Tiara & Tahiti Hernandez
Race: Puerto Rican, Jewish & filipino Occupation: Singer, songwriter, and record producer.
Albums: It's Better If You Don't Understand, Earth To Mars, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, and Unorthodox Jukebox
Genres: Pop, reggae, soul, R&B, funk, jazz, blues, and rock. Other Important Info Bruno Mars' family was very musical. He always had a drum set, a piano, and a guitar. At the age of 4, Mars began performing in his family band, The Love Notes, where he became known as the worlds youngest Elvis impersonator. Later in high school, he formed a band with a few friends called The School Boys, which helped him become used to performing on stage. Once Bruno graduated at age 17, he left Hawaii to LA to pursue his dream of becoming an artist. When he was signed but then dropped by Motown Records, Mars focused on songwriting with Philip Lawrence. Philip Lawrence By the late 2000s, the songs they wrote became popular. Such as Flo Rida's "Right 'Round", Brandy's "Long Distance", Travie McCoy's "Billionaire" and Khaans "Wavin' Flag" which was the theme song in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olypmics. After years of being a songwriter, Bruno Mars broke out as a singer when he featured in the 2010 hit "Nothin' On You". The track with B.O.B. skyrocketed to #1 on the Billboard Singles Chart, instantly transforming Mars from a composer to a pop performer. Several months later he released his first chart topper single "Just The Way You Are". In the following year he also came out with his first studio album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans. The album reached to #3 on the Billboards Album Chart. Around this time, Mars was nominated for a few Grammy's. Although he left empty handed that night, he gave an excellent performance where he sung "Runaway Baby". Don't be too sad, throughout his lifetime he recieved ASCAP Song Of The Year, an AMA for International Male Solo Artist, 2 MTV EMA's, and even was named Times Magazines 100 most influential people in the world. During late 2012, Bruno Mars released his 2nd studio album, Unorthodox Jukebox. The albums lead singles, "When I Was Your Man" and "Locked Out Of Heaven" was a critical success that topped the Billboard Hot 100 Chart for more than 6 consecutive weeks and inside the top 10 in more than 20 counties across the world! Overall, Bruno Mars is inspiring to many people because he never gave up. He started as a poor boy from Hawaii to an international pop star selling out arenas. He is currently living in LA, about to start his Moonshine Jungle Tour. Mars is now trying to enjoy the moment. "Everything's good right now," he says. "It's really paying off because my songs are on the radio. It took me awhile to get it, but when I got it, I think I got it right. And I'm very proud of how my songs are representing me as an artist." He was nicknamed Bruno by his father because of his resemblance to the professional wrestler Bruno Sammartino. He got the nickname Mars because girls told him he was out of this world. The name Bruno Mars

This can also help to surprise your family by planning your vacation on expensive properties with these discount packages. These are hilarious packages that many problems previously faced picked up by families. They had to take care of stay and then had to travel by car to enjoy the different places. But these packages offer scheduled tours daily. The time is determined for each place that must be visited and there is no hurry anywhere. The families are taken to be given every holiday site of the city via buses and plenty of time to enjoy. Breakfast, lunch and dinner always be secured with good food. So the discount packages picked up many problems that families face once before.
expedia.com flights
Most independent travelers skip the tour agencies. However, they can come in handy on several occasions. At one time, travelers should seek help from a travel company. Organized excursions are better than not having an organization at all, whether you are traveling for a few days or a few weeks. They are hard to avoid, and these days, they are everywhere.
hotel trivago
Tour operators have become a staple of travelers because they offer flexible rates next budget. But be sure to know how to select the right tour company before you settle for a particular company. These trips tours can help first time travelers on their way to the best vacation they a while had not experienced. If you decide to visit a particular place, make sure to know the things to look at selecting a proper tour.
The Truly Amazing Outdoors
Becoming outside is perfect for everybody else. The fact that everyone else requires outdoors is very true. Indoors is fun and entertaining, but folks aren't made to spend-all time inside! We didn't have even computer systems until the eighties, so demonstrably it is not normal to be using one all day every day. Everybody needs to spend a while outside. You don't have to just take a run, or a day-long day at the mountains, but just getting out-of-doors is essential. If you're an adventurous individual, doing such things as Little Miami River Canoeing and kayaking will be a lot of fun. Little Miami River Kayaking could be a terrific way to mix up a humdrum program of company work throughout the few days and farming on the vacations. It can be a fun, and significantly nerve-racking knowledge if it's your first time. It is an awesome way to deliver families together in an exiting environment also.
If you are planning to expend each day on liquid, you have to be ready nevertheless. If you don't get ready correctly, you may well be trapped in the center of a stream hungry, wet, and sunlight burned. Constantly bring a lunch or treats. Liquid activities burn a good amount of calories and you'll be hungry come lunch break. Never over-estimate the fact that you are seated either. Your face and hands and part of your legs will be confronted with the sun. If you don't apply and re-apply sunscreen, you will be really red.
Also, you will want to bring all of your things in a liquid proof container. A gallon size synthetic bag works or you could go the additional mile and purchase a water-proof bag.
If you do not feel just like you would certainly be comfortable in the liquid, there are various other fun outside recreations to have taking part in. Hiking may appear extreme, however in reality everyone else can do it. All you have to is a location to hike, plus some minor equipment. I will suggest getting climbing shoes but shoes would also work good, based what type of climbing you've planned on doing and how serious you may be about it, you might invest in a hiking pack. If you are planning to-be hiking the whole day, you want someplace to keep numerous water, snack and sunscreen. Additionally, constantly just take a cell phone and back up phone with you on significant climbing excursions. Some people might also advise you to simply take a GPS or compass, but that's only appropriate if you'ren't using a preset path.
Everybody else are able to find a distinct segment exterior. Whether it is walking, working, walking, or becoming when you look at the liquid; there's an activity for all. You may enjoy the workout facet of it, or even the peacefulness to be in general. Birdwatchers and extreme hill climbers are all alike within the good sense they love the outside.
Chuck R Stewart decided to spending some time on the minimal Miami River canoeing with his family members. Later on that thirty days, he made a decision to spending some time on Little Miami River kayaking by himself.

[4]Once upon a time there was a packager from Texas whose rpms became so popular he had to make a distro to contain them. He searched high and low for most beautiful eye candy. He patched and pre-linked applications until they screamed with speed. He tweaked and compiled until they were stable. He added gui tools, drivers, and plugins until every user could work like a pro. He kept working on that distro, release after release, until this very day. That distro is known as PCLinuxOS, and the day version .92 was released, cries of joy were heard throughout the land as many microsoft slaves and linux grunts were set free. Free, free, free at last. Texstar has set us free.
Indeed this radically simple to use Linux distribution did start out as a result of Texstar's desire for a more beautiful and faster performing system. From the late 1990's thru the early 2000's, Texstar was rebuilding rpms to enhance his own desktop. But the story really began when he first offered up his rebuilt kde packages. The more people installed these rpms, the more they wanted.
After a while livecd technology became available for mandrake systems, and Texstar was intrigued. Could he replace a lot of the buggy software from France, add many wonderful enhancements and extras, and make a livecd? Yes he could. Only a few of got to test that initial release, but those of us who did knew Texstar was onto something big. He addressed a market thusfar overlooked by the big boys and his distro's popularity keep growing, staying in the top 4% (and climbing) of all distros in DistroWatch's database.
As PCLOS evolved, it's appearance has too. This release has a significantly different look than previously. This time we have a minimal background on the two major desktops, a pretty but understated windec and a new quad-colored logo. The cute penguins and cuddly polar bears are gone. We are now presented with a more mature, grown-up PCLOS. The new logo/theme creates an esoteric atmosphere of faint familiarity easing the transition to Linux from Windows. This new logo, borrowed from a gnome icon project, consists of similar colored features as the (in)famous windows' logo. The hope was for the experience of using Linux to be less alien for them. PCLOS accomplishes this without becoming a windows clone. And if you miss the penguins, all the components from the last release are still there; the wallpaper, the splash screen, etc.
The look has changed dramatically. However, lest we forget, this is Linux. It's all about customization and free-choice. If you don't like the theme, there are many included with PCLOS and many more available on the web. My favorite "goodie" site is kde-look.org [6].
Not all the changes are in appearance. Texstar et. al. work really hard to bring the users the stable end of the cutting edge spectrum. This is a very fine line and it takes a talented crew to walk it. It's very difficult to find that sweet spot, but I think PCLOS has done just that. In the robust but not over-crowded menus, one can find the right tool for the right job.
For example, this release brings us
- kernel-pclos-i586-up-1GB-2.6.12.oci6.mdk-1-1tex
- xorg-x11-6.9-0.cvs20051101.2tex
- kdebase-3.4.3-6tex
- fluxbox-0.9.12-1tex
- gcc-3.3.1-2mdk
- koffice-1.4.2-1tex
- gaim-1.5.0-1tex
- xsane-0.97-2tex
- gimp-2.2.9-1tex
- audacity-1.2.3-2tex
- glibc-2.3.2-14mdk
- gtk+2.0-2.6.8-1tex
- k9copy-1.0.0-2tex
- kaffeine-0.7.1-3tex
- kompose-0.5.3-1tex
- limewire-4.9.30-1tex
- mozilla-firefox-1.0.7-1tex
- thunderbird2firefox-1.0.7-2tex
- mplayer-1.0-0.pre7.2tex
- vlc-0.8.2-1tex
- wlassistant-0.5.4-1tex
- tvtime-1.0.2-1tex
- Full RPMlist [8]
If this is your first time considering PCLOS, you may not know of it's package manager. PCLOS features synaptic on top of apt-get to install the binary packages from Texstar's repository of applications. It's worked flawlessly here for as long as I've been using PCLOS. It efficiently downloads each package desired and its dependencies, then quickly installs them. The menus are updated to reflect the new application(s) as well. It's a wonderful system Tex & crew have going there.
Again, if you're new to PCLOS you need to know about the PCLinuxOS Control Center. This is the configuration hub of your new (or perspective) system. From there you can configure anything you need, from boot options and loader, hardware setup and tweaks, to networking and a firewall. ...and so much more. It is really the crowning jewel of PCLOS, I think.
If you prefer (or need) a lighter desktop, PCLOS includes the very popular Fluxbox. One of the nicest of the lighter environments, it's a welcome addition. This release brings a spiffied up appearance for Fluxbox as well, almost matching the KDE desktop. It features idesk for the desktop icons and a customized theme and menu. The menu is complete with all the entries you'd find in the KDE menu making it every bit as useful and handy as KDE.
And don't forget the convenience. PCLOS was one of the first distros to include the extras like java, flash, and nvidia drivers. This release has these and more. As you can see in the screenshots as portrayed in the thumbnails below, the plugins work wonderfully. I can watch trailers and select ecards from my browser with no work at all from myself.
Foregone in the last release but returned in this one are the 3D graphic drivers for nvidia and ati video cards. This release currently comes in 4 versions:
- pclinuxos-0.92 - General Release - Standard xorg. drivers
- pclinuxos-p92-nvidia7174 - 3D Graphic drivers for older Nvidia TNT cards.
- pclinuxos-p92-nvidia7676 - 3D Graphic drivers for newer Nvidia cards.
- pclinuxos-p92-ati8500up - 3D Graphic drivers for ATI video cards 8500 and up.
Texstar is quoted as writing,
"Also in the works is a mini-me iso with a minimal install and you can add your own applications from the PCLOS repository and a PCLOS DVD with more applications that aren't available on the cd versions."
The reports that came in from early testing [36] and especially the ones now are very complimentary. Most folks are stating how nice this release is. Some have went so far as to say it's the best operating system they've tried. Just look at this thread [37] and this comment [38] on PCLO.
Texstar and posse have been working overtime to bring support for the latest technology to their distro. They have begun to include support for the latest wifi/wireless adapters and connectivity, but Texstar states,
"wifi connectivity and configuration is an area we need to improve upon. Mainly we worked on new hardware detection routines, faster boot times, usbkey support, usb hard drive installation, sata hd support, and added some code to the livecd-install to slow down the cdrom drive speed to not more than 24x to help keep the cdrom drive on some systems from overheating and killing the install."
So what's in the future for PCLinuxOS? Texstar writes,
"0.93 will sport kernel 2.6.14 and KDE 3.5. We are going to move many of the 3rd party drivers out of the kernel build and make dkms packages out of them so when you install a new kernel, at boot up the system will automatically rebuild the drivers for the new kernel. This will also give us the ability to update various drivers without requiring the user to install a new kernel.
1.0 will probably be a complete rebuild of the entire distro using a new glibc, gcc 4.x, KDE 4.0, Xorg 7.0, and all the latest opensource applications."
I've spent a lot of time in PCLinuxOS .92, since the first test release [39] and following the continuing development. I've experience very few glitches with the test releases and could not put my finger on any bugs in the final. It just works.

I've heard not good things about IBM's Opteron motherboard (I didn't want to use the word bad). Plus I think they are putting gold-plated pricing on them. A better deal is from Racksaver. I've had very good prices from them on just about any system.

This jives with what I've heard from some folks who work in California (I won't name my company yet, but some people already know). These people were concerned about the number of hops in the NUMAflex boxes because their code has been parallelized yet (I'm working on it if they will give me the budget to finish it and test it properly). Have a good day! Jeff

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) —
But those 417 yards passing, 119 yards rushing and seven total touchdowns came with a bit of a caveat: The game was against lower-level Samford , which plays in the Football Championship Subdivision.
Still, it was a performance that got the attention of
"Anybody in this league — I don't care who you're playing — who can throw for 400 and rush for 100 as a quarterback who's that big, you'd better start preparing for all kinds of stuff," Sumlin said. "Because he can spin it, he can put it down and run it and he's a load when he runs."
No. 7 Texas A&M (7-1, 4-1
The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Fitzgerald has been inconsistent this season, but has had some really good moments like the Samford game. Sumlin said he sees a quarterback who is improving quickly.
"It's another one of those deals where you get later in the season and quarterbacks who are young and inexperienced are starting to see more things and they're getting better," Sumlin said.
Texas A&M would seem to be better equipped than most when it comes to slowing down an imposing quarterback. The Aggies' formidable defensive line, which includes
"Those guys can just cause havoc up front with a bunch of potential NFL players and possibly first rounders or first picks in the draft," Mullen said. "You see why they are one of the top teams in America."

Our own San Antonio Zoo was granted accreditation by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums.
The accreditation program was set up to establish standards of animal care and education for zoos and aquariums.
Here's what the AZA said, "To be accredited, the San Antonio Zoo underwent a thorough investigation to insure it has and will continue to meet ever-rising standards, which include animal care, veterinary programs, conservation, education, and safety. AZA requires zoos and aquariums to successfully complete this rigorous accreditation process in order to be members of the association, and are required to resubmit to this process every five years."

Man, Paul's behavior regarding these newsletters has been awful. His "I don't know who wrote these" is about as slippery as a politician can get. Everyone who was around libertarianism in the early 90s knows Lew was in charge of these and knows Rothbard and his crew were into race-baiting back then. (By the way, notice that the longer Lew has been away from Rothbard's influence, the more decent he's become? I personally have found him very affable, and I can't imagine him putting out material like this today. Just shows what hanging around Rothbard can do to you.)
Paul's got a decent message, but he's the wrong vehicle for delivering it.
Agreed. I've been trying to convince the Paulites of this recently, but they just don't seem to listen. They think a 2nd place finish in Nevada will rocket him back into the public eye. Even if that proves to be true, the public eye will immediately refocus on those newsletters and dismiss him again.
And yeah, I know a lot of you are sick of me talking about the newsletters, but tough. It IS a big deal and just because some of you discussed them in a few forums last fall doesn't mean the issue is settled. Paul knows who wrote them, and he should tell us. Because if you're being honest with yourself, you have to question why he hasn't told us who wrote them. Why is that? I think I have a good guess as to why, but you should dig through it all and see what you think.
So yes, there's the question I'd like you to answer in the comments. Why hasn't he told us who wrote the newsletters? Why did his campaign pull back on the press release they were going to send out? Any ideas?
I live for comments like this…
GET OVER IT DUDE, there is NOT ONE IOTA of a THING WRONG with DR. PAUL no matter how much you try to bring DIRT UP~ How bout Huckabee and his son the dog killer, how bout GHOULIANI and his PAID SECURITY for his mistress, or the NYFD being against him, or just simply that he is a moron. How bout MITT who flip flops more than a windsock in a hurricane! How bout 100 YEARS MCCAIN? and HIS STUPID qoute, RON PAUL the soliders have a msg for you from when i went to iraq, THEY WANT TO STAY AND WIN, all the while PAUL has gotten the most from MILITARY than ANY OTHER CANDIDATE! How bout those things that MATTER, and LEAVING ALONE something THAT RON PAUL DENIES he authored and making something IT IS NOT!~
you sicken me!
Wow, you've convinced me. I DO need to GET REAL and accept the fact that there is NOT ONE IOTA of a THING WRONG with DR. PAUL. How could I actually question a politician? The nerve of me!
Responding to comments…:
A commenter writers…
It's easy to believe that Ron Paul doesn't know who authored the newsletters. I worked in that business during that time period, and it wasn't uncommon for publishers to put out a newsletter under someone's name, pay that person a royalty for the use of their name, and publish a newsletter. Ron Paul really wasn't involved in the day-to-day operations of the newsletter. He was a full-time physician and he also likely had a heavy schedule of public speaking.
He could credibly claim he just licensed his name had he been the only person from his family on the payroll, but he wasn't. As I've pointed out before, but both his wife and daughter were employees of the company that put out the newsletters. Were they all too busy? And if they all truly didn't know, then what the hell were his wife and daughter doing on the payroll? It doesn't add up and I don't know why you people are going so easy on a guy who is obviously lying to you.
Also, it's not like Ron Paul was some sort of massive celebrity in the 90s. The majority of his supporters hadn't heard about him until late 2006, early 2007. This "he was really, really busy" argument does not stand up to scrutiny.
So to those who think I'm being a troll, well, you need to quit blindly supporting a candidate just because you believe in his message. Had stuff like this come out about Howard Dean back in 2004, I would have abandoned him without hesitation. Remember, the messenger's credibility is incredibly important when he's carrying a message of change, and right now Paul is crippling your movement. And it is YOUR movement, not his. Take it back from him before he does any more damage.

Persian Gulf Connection12/05/07
Few corporate deals in recent years have sparked as much political uproar as the ill-fated effort in 2006 by Dubai Ports World to take over operations at six major port facilities in the United States.
For the tiny but wealthy emirate of Dubai, which owns the company, the deal's demise came as a huge shock. But the backlash in Congress, with both Democrats and Republicans warning that the acquisition would undermine national security, served as a wake-up call to Dubai, as well as its neighbor Abu Dhabi—the two wealthiest of the seven states that compose the Persian Gulf federation known as the United Arab Emirates.
Increasingly flush with petrodollars, Dubai and Abu Dhabi have recently cut other plum deals to invest in the United States. At the same time, they are seeking to lure Western investment capital to their countries and to increase trade with the United States. But this time, the two emirates, and the UAE, have hired heavy hitters on K Street as lobbying, public-relations, and legal representatives to help them facilitate transactions, shape public opinion, and steer clear of Washington's political and regulatory land mines.
"Dubai Ports World highlighted the fact that there was very little understanding in the U.S. about the UAE," says Richard Mintz, managing director at the Harbour Group, which has been hired by the UAE. The contract, Mintz says, provides as much as $15 million for "public diplomacy" campaigns over the next three years.
That mission includes arranging trips to the emirates for members of Congress and policy wonks; underwriting educational events in Washington; and pitching the emirates as vital to the economy and national security of the United States. Such efforts are important, Mintz notes, because the failed Dubai Ports World deal underscored a "perception gap that needed to be corrected."
Huge financial deals are already in the works. In recent months, UAE-based financial institutions have invested billions of dollars in U.S. entities—including Advanced Micro Devices, the Carlyle Group, and NASDAQ, all of which have tapped teams of Washington lawyers to ensure that no legal roadblocks interfere with the transactions. In late November, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority agreed to buy a 4.9 percent stake in Citigroup for $7.5 billion.
These deals have yielded regulatory, legal, and lobbying work for Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, Covington & Burling, DLA Piper, and others on K Street. Some of the effort entails dealing with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, the interdepartmental body that evaluates deals for potential risks to national security.
Financial groups in the UAE are hungry for investments in the United States and are seeking American capital for projects back home, including real estate and energy. "There's obviously a great deal of wealth being accumulated which is looking for international investment opportunities and, particularly, prestige investments in the U.S.," says former Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham, who runs an eponymous consulting group that works with investors in Dubai, the independent nation of Qatar, and U.S. companies looking for opportunities in the region.
Oil and trade are at the center of the matter. The UAE has almost 10 percent of the world's proven oil reserves, and Qatar has almost 5 percent of the world's proven natural-gas reserves. In 2006, the UAE was America's No. 1 export market in the Middle East, accounting for about $12 billion in goods and services, according to U.S. officials. Since 2001, U.S. exports to the UAE have increased an average of 35 percent a year.
Analysts generally consider the UAE and Qatar to be strategic U.S. allies in the volatile Middle East, although Qatar has drawn some criticism in recent years for not doing enough to tone down the anti-American rhetoric of Al Jazeera, the television giant based there.
"The economic dynamism of the UAE represents significant opportunities for our firm in terms of transactional and policy practices," says Akin Gump partner Dan Spiegel, who is spearheading the firm's recently inked deal to represent the UAE in Washington. Spiegel, who was United Nations ambassador in Geneva in the Clinton administration, says his firm will focus on national security matters, trade, human rights, and sovereign wealth funds, which are funds with assets owned by states. Akin Gump has a one-year contract and will be paid on an hourly basis initially. (For much of 2005 and 2006, Clark & Weinstock lobbied and did public-relations work for the UAE, earning $65,000 a month, according to a filing under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.)
Akin Gump, which has an office in Dubai, is poised to open another in nearby Abu Dhabi in 2008. "It's like Dallas and Fort Worth," says James Langdon, an Akin Gump partner who specializes in energy deals and hails from Texas. "You need a presence in both places."
The firm's work for the UAE is being coordinated with other consulting and lobbying shops that are also involved with the UAE, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. Further, Akin Gump has focused on getting lawmakers to join congressional delegations for trips to the region. In late November, a group that included Reps. Jim Moran, DVa., and Tom Davis, R-Va., traveled to the UAE, Qatar, and other Middle East nations. Earlier this year, Sen. Joe Lieberman, ID-Conn., also visited the UAE.

The obj hierarchy must be built before the ssh-etc target can be run
(e.g. when building in nrelease), otherwise the ssh_config patch will
attempt to write out into /usr/src. /usr/src is allowed to be read-only
(e.g. NFS mounts of /usr/src) so this doesn't work particularly well without
an obj hierarchy.
