Stroke is a brain injury caused by an interruption in blood flow. Brain tissue that does not get oxygen and nutrients from blood can die within minutes. The damage to the brain can cause a sudden loss in bodily functions. The types of function that are affected will depend on the part of the brain that is damaged.
There are two blood flow problems that cause a stroke. Strokes may be ischemic or hemorrhagic.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
An ischemic stroke occurs when something stops the flow of blood. It may be a buildup or swelling of the walls of the blood vessels and/or something in the blood that becomes stuck in the blood vessel. A blockage in a small blood vessel will affect a smaller area of the brain. A blockage in larger blood vessels can block the flow of blood to several smaller blood vessels, leading to more brain damage.
The blockage may be the result of one or more of the following:
Certain factors increase your risk of stroke but can not be changed, such as:
Other factors that may increase your risk can be changed such as:
Certain medical condition that can increase your risk of stroke. Management or prevention of these conditions can significantly decrease your risk. Medical conditions include:
Risk factors specific to women include:
Symptoms occur suddenly. Exact symptoms will depend on the part of the brain affected. Rapid treatment is important to decrease the amount of brain damage. Brain tissue without blood flow dies quickly.
Call for emergency medical services right away if you notice any of the following sudden symptoms:
A physical exam will be done to look for muscle weakness, visual and speech problems, and movement difficulty. If possible, you will be asked about your symptoms and medical history.
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
Blood tests can also help determine if there is a bleeding problem.
Immediate treatment
is needed to open the blocked blood vessel. This should restore blood flow to the brain tissue and stop further damage.
Treatment after immediate care will aim to:
Supportive care may also include:
Certain patients will receive a group of drugs called thrombolytics. These medications can rapidly dissolve blood clots. They are often given by IV but can be delivered directly to the arteries where the blood clot is. These medications need to be given within hours after the start of symptoms to be effective. That is why it is important to get medical help right away if stroke symptoms develop.
Aspirin and other medications that decrease the risk of blood clot formation may be recommended after immediate care is done. These medications may prevent future strokes from occurring.
To help manage other health issues and decrease the risk of future strokes the doctor may recommend medication to:
A surgery may be done to allow blood flow back into the affected area such as:
A stroke can cause swelling in the brain. A decompressive surgery, such as
craniotomy, may be needed to relieve the pressure in the brain to prevent damage.
Other surgeries may be performed following a stroke to prevent a recurrence. These surgical options include:
If brain tissue was damaged, rehabilitation can be an important part of your recovery. Rehabilitation may include:
Many of the risk factors for stroke can be changed. Lifestyle changes that can help reduce your chance of getting a stroke include:

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 74 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
Springboard Manufacturing
We are a small manufacturing company with a new line of products launching soon. We have created a new division of the company for these products, and are looking for a logo for this new division (Springboard Manufacturing) .
The new product is a heat exchanger made from stainless steel that can be used for automotive (biodiesel or diesel), marine, and industrial purposes. We are looking for a logo that will appeal to this broad customer base. Customers will range from automotive enthusiasts to industrial chemical and manufacturing companies. We are looking for a rugged masculine image typical for auto parts and industrial products without being too overbearing.
We are looking for a design that will include the Product name (SPRINGFLOW™ 250 ) as well as a simple attention grabbing graphic. The design on the product packaging will take up an area of approximately 2 inches x 4 inches, and it will rest on a 3"x6" surface, so it will need to be clear and visible at that size. Ideally the design will be transitioned to our second product with the same form factor but made form different materials.
Keep it clean, keep it cool, keep it clever.

Recent statistics have indicated that nearly nine million American children are categorized as "overweight". Buying or making clothes for the plus size child can be
a very stressful and difficult process as there is literally NO standard size that fits properly.
Size 16 Plus Doesn't Fit a 9 Year Old Girl
My friend has a 9 year old daughter who has a 36" chest, 34" tummy and 38" hips. Buying pre-made clothes for her is impossible
since a skirt that fits in the waist has a length that goes past the feet, and long sleeves hang several inches below her
fingers in order to get a size that fits in the chest and shoulders.
My friend decided to try making some clothes, only to find similar problems
with patterns. Thinking the new "plus" sizes would fit, she was disappointed to find that, while a 16 Plus would fit the chest, the "waistline" hung about 2-3 inches below her waist, the skirt length was way too long, the neck and armholes were much too large and the shoulder width fell way off the shoulder. After all, the measurements used in the
store-bought patterns are for a "chubby" 16 year old, they're not designed for an extra chubby 9 year old.
Knowing that I teach and sell pattern making books and classes, my friend came to me for help in getting something to fit her daughter. We took the
child's measurements, then proceeded to make a pattern from "scratch" using her own measurements as a guide.
Pattern Making Insures Perfect Fit
The dress fit perfectly! And rightly so, since we used her own personal measurements for the pattern.
The same step-by-step methods used for making patterns for my friend's chubby daughter are available for you in a variety of online classes, with information and classes for plus size boys and plus size girls. In addition, we have a complete class on how to alter store bought patterns for the plus size boy or girl to use on the patterns you already have that you can't get to fit correctly.
Many times we're told that clothing and store bought patterns for plus size children aren't the same as the "trendy" current style designs that are made for the "average" size child. Pattern making will eliminate that problem also. You'll be able to copy any design you see that is in a pattern book, on the rack, or something that your child's friends
are wearing. You can even come up with your own designs and start a new trend!
Join us in our online classes today. Don't worry about the classes not meeting your own personal
schedule - you simply pay for whatever class you want, download it immediately, and work on it according to your schedule and at your own place. Finally, your plus size child, grandchild,
niece or nephew can have stylish clothing that fits properly, and garments they'll be proud to wear!
Pattern Maker of 30 years Launches line of clothing patterns for Plus
Size Children!
NOTE: We
are excited about a new line of clothing patterns for plus size children,
called PSC Patterns, that we have designed according to actual REAL
measurements of plus size children, so that patterns will fit the
majority of plus size children.
Compare our pattern measurements to your child's, and you'll see which
size range you'll need. Each pattern has an enlarged view (click
on the pattern number link), which gives the measurement chart for each size
range, as well as the fabric requirements for each pattern.
PSCPatterns have been an instant hit, as D. Bloss tells us "for the
very first time ever, I'm able to make clothing that fits my plus size
daughter! The size 10 in your size range 8-10-12 has measurements
almost identical to my daughters - it's almost like you've used HER
measurements in designing the patterns! Thank you, thank you, thank

How Do You Talk To Your Partners About HIV/AIDS and Other Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)?
January 2010
There is no easy answer concerning how to talk to a partner about HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Although many people find it easy to have sex, they find it extremely difficult to talk about it. So how does one begin?
The dynamics of every relationship are a little bit different. The most important thing is to talk about STDs before having sex. But many people feel too embarrassed or scared to do this, or do not have the necessary communication skills it takes to talk about it. Most of the time, a person simply has to muster up enough courage to bring up the subject.
However, some people are just too scared to bring up the subject altogether, for fear of a partner rejecting them by the mere mention of the terms "sexually transmitted diseases" or "HIV/AIDS." Keep in mind that if your partner breaks up with you because you have brought up the subject of sexually transmitted diseases, then there was not much keeping the relationship together in the first place! Also, there is only one way to know your partner's HIV/AIDS and other STD risk factors, and that is to directly ask.
Let me make the following suggestions on how to bring up this topic:
Do you want more information on AIDS, STDs or safer sex? Contact the U.S. Centers for Disease Control HealthLine at 1-800-232-4636.
Until next time . . . Work hard, play hard, play safe, stay sober!

text: I think you hit the nail on the head Bari, I'm in Brooklyn, New York. So I suppose it should be 15amp circuits but every circuit breaker in the box is clearly a 10. This is an old house, seems like any renovations over the years have been only for aesthetics. The wiring in the walls is probably disintegrating - that would explain why the new looking circuit breakers are rated for 10 amps. I think I can get use of 3 circuits which gives me some room to play with all the nodes and hopefully the assortment of switches and power supply. I have to figure out what the draw will be on the rest of the equip. Now where the hell am I going to plug in this air conditioner???? Any advice on how to gang up 3 10amp circuits into a single 30amp? Sounds like a job for an electrician? Thanks for the help guys.

In the U.S., a 15 amp circuit is standard. I thought this was odd when I first read this as well. This may be a case where to save dollars or in rehabbing old buildings where you may have more than 3 current carrying conductors in one raceway and you have to derate the current protection. In this case it may be that they ran more than three #14 current carrying conductors (as defined by the NEC)in the same raceway and had to derate the usual 15 amp circuit protection down to 10 amps. -Bari Ari

The Professor Cuts Loose
Glenn Reynolds says he isn't a conservative. He's young, he's hip, he's a libertarian. And he's generally pretty laconic. But today he said what he really thinks about the Palestinians: "The United States should not try to play a 'neutral arbiter' in the Israeli/Palestinian dispute. We should, in fact, be doing our best to make the Palestinians suffer, because, to put it bluntly, they are our enemies. Just read this »
More on the imaginary era of good feeling
Earlier today, in my response to E.J. Dionne's latest column, I cited the Democrats' positions on immigration as evidence of their rampant partisanship in the aftermath of 9/11. However, I did not describe what the Democrats did that was so unprincipled. Here is something I wrote shortly after I joined Power Line that provides the two grounds for my charge. The first comes from Michelle Malkin. The second is a »
Whither the Democrats
Peter Schramm at No Left Turns gives an excellent summary of the recent history of the Democratic party, plus his view of what's ahead (which I think is probably too optimistic with respect to the 2004 election). Here's Schramm's recap and prognosis: "Clinton moves the party back towards the center, becoming the first Demo president to be re-elected since FDR. Quite an accomplishment, albeit marred by scandal (but that »

How did this guy get a public forum?
The guy in question is E.J. Dionne. The public forum is the op-ed page of the Washington Post, a fact that goes a long way towards answering my question. But when one considers Dionne's latest drivel even that answer isn't entirely satisfactory.

Subversion in Cuba
Granma is the official organ of the Cuban Communist party; it is one of the world's most surreal, out-of-touch publications.

Iraqis Judge Saddam
Healing Iraq has the results of a poll of Iraqis. The poll seems to be pretty broad-based, although it can't be very scientific; for one thing, 81% of the respondents were men. For the most part, the Iraqis' responses were pretty predictable. 59% said their reaction to Saddam's capture was "overwhelming joy." 56% want Saddam executed. 73% think Saddam's capture will either decrease the resistance or terminate it altogether.

The year of hating President Bush
Robert Samuelson, in the Washington Post, provides his take on the "fashionableness" of hating President Bush. He makes two main points. First, he argues that what the Bush haters really resent "is that his popularity suggests that the country might be more like him than it is like them. They fear he is exiling them politically." Thus, "on one level, their embrace of hatred aims to make others share their »
Going negative
My friend Craig Harrison has come up with an idea for an anti-Dean ad I'd love to see. Take the anti-Goldwater commercial of the little girl pulling petals off of a daisy while a nuclear bomb goes off. Except that it would be al Qaeda blowing up a bomb here, while Howard Dean pulls petals from the daisy. The Bush campaign might consider this ad too inflammatory, but there's always »

Irwin Stelzer in the Weekly Standard recaps the state of the economy at year's end.

A sense of shock has followed the death of Florida A&M drum major Robert Champion. Shock that the 26-year-old collapsed soon after leading FAMU's famed Marching 100 band during the Nov. 19 Florida Classic football game. Shock that hazing within the band's own ranks may have caused his death. And shock that hazing could be part of a marching band.
Why so much surprise? A 2008 study, "Hazing in View: College Students at Risk," noted that "stereotypes often shape perceptions of hazing as only a problem for athletes and Greek-letter organizations." The truth's more inclusive. Hazing infects every group from varsity sports teams to honor societies.
And, apparently, marching bands. FAMU band members allege Champion was beaten as he marched from the back of the bus to the front, a hazing ritual that band members call "crossing bus C."
That's why Gov. Rick Scott was right to ask the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate Champion's death. And it's also why college officials throughout Florida would be wise to view Champion's death as call to remove the blinders and rid their campuses of hazing once and for all.
The 2008 study found 55 percent of students who join college clubs, teams and organizations endure hazing. Popular initiations involve drinking games, humiliation, isolation, sleep-deprivation, and sex acts. Virtually all hazing victims stay mum, and "hazing behaviors are often dismissed as simply harmless antics and pranks," the study notes, possibly explaining why it's firmly entrenched in organizations like FAMU's band.
Fired FAMU band director Julian White says he was a scapegoat, insisting he had a longtime no-tolerance policy for hazing and labored to end it. He failed. So did the university.
On Thursday, Scott implored State University Chancellor Frank Brogan to urge all university presidents to review their current policies on hazing. That's fine, but anti-hazing measures must go beyond furrowed brows and tough words.
Prevention efforts require a deep commitment to anti-hazing education and, maybe more important, memorable penalties for hazers and the groups they represent. We suspect a one-year suspension of the FAMU band would get the musicians' attention more than a student government rally that's planned for Monday.
To its credit, Florida's one of the few states that considers hazing a felony. However, locking up offenders after the fact is cold comfort for families like the Champions, who may have lost a child to tradition that just won't end.

Boulder hadn't hosted a sitting president since 1954, when Dwight D. Eisenhower attended the dedication of a federal lab. Then, come 2012, this liberal college town saw President Barack Obama not once. Not twice. But three times.
Obama's first visit to the University of Colorado was an official White House visit in April, when he addressed a crowd in the Coors Events Center. His policy speech addressed college affordability as he delivered a passionate message about preventing interest rates from doubling on Stafford loans.
Prior to his arrival at the events center, Obama stopped by The Sink on University Hill -- where a college student's frozen yogurt was spilled on the president and a photo of an excited student posing with Obama later went viral.
The president left his mark by taking a black Sharpee and adding his signature to the low-ceiling restaurant, next to "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" host Guy Fieri's sketch. Obama returned Boulder yet again in September for a campaign visit, in which he made his case for reelection on Norlin Quad before about 13,000 supporters -- but not before stopping first at The Buff Restaurant.
Then, just five days before the election, Obama stumped once again at the Coors Events Center, saying his work at the White House wasn't done, and that he represented the "middle-class agenda."
While Boulder County was certainly not battleground territory, Colorado was very much considered a critical swing state. Strategists said Obama's repeat visits to Boulder -- long a liberal stronghold -- was intended more to urge his dependable base to get out and vote. The enthusiasm surrounding his visits also was a strategic asset for his campaign, analysts explained.
Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney never stepped foot in Boulder County during his campaign -- though he sent his sons to the county a couple of times.

May 27, 2014
The historic Warren Cultural Center in Greenfield has once again taken its place as the "grand lady" of town square. Enabled by REAP funding, its expansive windows, oxidized copper accents and distinctive turret provide the architectural foundation for the three-story brick structure that serves as a landmark destination for culture, art and commerce in southwest Iowa.
The multi-purpose center occupies nearly 30,000 square feet- an entire corner of Greenfield Square. In addition to the restructured opera house auditorium and balcony that seats 240, it provides office space, conference and meeting rooms, guest rooms and a spacious lobby and gallery that showcases art and photography exhibits.
Ed & Eva's (the Warrens' first names) occupies the ground floor retail space, once home to the Warrens' dry goods store. It sells a collection of works by more than 80 Iowa artists, who receive 70 per cent commission from sales. The original dry goods store sign still resides inside Ed & Eva's, which sells pieces varying from metal sculpture and woodwork to handmade jewelry and bar ware.
Originally built in 1896 and put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, a century later and in disrepair the building was gifted to Main Street Greenfield by a private citizen in 1996.
In 2000, the E. E. Warren Opera House Association (EEWOHA) was formed as a non-profit corporation, officially taking the reins for redevelopment of the property. REAP funding was secured through an Historical Resource Development Program grant in 2010.
Iowa REAP funds were used to remove the storefront and restore its copper trim. The original double-hung windows were repaired, restored, and thermally upgraded, using preprinted metal frames that matched the original wood-profile paneling and insulated glass that facilitates higher energy efficiency and stability. The copper and mortar on the parapet was also selectively tuck-pointed and refabricated to match the existing finish, keeping the majority of the copper original on the turret.
"Most of the brick was repointed and it has to be done in a very particular was to meet the historical standards," explained director Ken Sidey.
"The removal and replacement process was carefully orchestrated among mason, copper contractors, roofers and other laborers, since each building component installation had a direct impact on the others. Because sometimes two or three lifts were in use at once, safety for pedestrians and drivers was a top priority," said EEWOHA vice-president Catherine Howe.
Howe explained the impact of REAP funding on the project's success: "As an early funding source during the capital campaign, the REAP grant demonstrated the confidence the State of Iowa had in the realization of the vision for these historic buildings. When potential supporters see evidence there is broad based support within the community in addition to county, state and federal sources, they are willing to make the investment. To know that as a contributor each dollar had the potential to be matched 2 or 3 times, their willingness to commit increased. The potential donor is also convinced of the sponsoring organization's creativity and commitment in securing project funding when the base for support reaches diverse sources."
The restoration project dollars have found their way into the local economy in several ways, Howe said. As required by grant funding, $1.3 million has gone to Greenfield contractors. Additional spending has gone to firms and workers in nearby towns. Local restaurants, lodging and stores have benefited as well.
Along with numerous local and state awards, the Warren Cultural Center was awarded the prestigious National Preservation Honor Award by the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 2013. - The Adair News

Author Notes: When I was growing up, my mother used to make special weekend breakfasts -- eggs, waffles, pancakes or French Toast. These were leisurely meals, and because it was the weekend with no work to rush off to, my father would often pour a glug of Irish whiskey in his morning coffee. Why Irish whiskey? Well, my father was part Irish, so I always thought that he drank Irish whiskey because he was proud of his heritage. Or maybe he just liked the taste. Whatever the reason, I thought of those laid back family mornings when I created this recipe. My husband and I too have continued the tradition of fun weekend breakfasts for our seven-year-old daughter. Saturday breakfasts are usually hot cereal of some sort (my daughter has adored oatmeal since she was a baby), but Sunday breakfasts almost always feature my waffle iron or my heavy cast iron griddle. Last Sunday I was making French Toast for breakfast when I noticed a plastic bag containing a small amount of Corn Flakes crumbs in my pantry. They were too small to eat as cereal, and I was planning to use them instead of beadcrumbs for baked or fried fish, but knowing how much my daughter loves crunchy foods, I thought that it might be fun to use them as a French toast coating instead. Years ago I remember frequenting a restaurant for brunch in New York City that made a French Toast dish encrusted with Corn Flake. I decided to try to recreate the spirit of that dish. I wanted to infuse the egg-milk mixture that the bread would be dipped in with some warm, comforting flavors -- cinnamon and cardamom, a vanilla bean, and some maple syrup. To enhance the maple flavors even more, I tried making a maple-whiskey butter. It took me a few tries to get the ingredients and measurements just right. I knew that I wanted Irish whiskey, no doubt to remind me of my childhood breakfasts with my parents, but adding maple syrup to the butter made the mixture too wet. In the end, I opted to use maple extract because I could still get a strong maple flavor, but I wouldn't need to use quite as much of it. The maple extract is not as sweet as syrup, so I added a tiny amount of brown sugar to balance the flavors. A few toasted pecans added a nice crunch. This butter was divine with French Toast, but it would also be delicious on biscuits, on toast, or even on some grilled salmon filets. —cookinginvictoria
Food52 Review: We loved this French toast! The best part may be the easy to make but delicious butter. Cornflakes added a nice crunchy texture to the outside of each slice. I would recommend using challa loaf and cutting slices 1 1/2 inches thick. Yum! —Food52
Serves: 4
Crunchy French Toast
cup cornflakes
cup light cream or half and half
cup milk (preferably not skim)
large eggs
tablespoons maple syrup
teaspoon cinnamon, preferably Vietnamese
teaspoon ground cardamom
vanilla bean, sliced lengthwise and seeds scaped out with a paring knife
thickly cut slices from day old buttery bread (I used a mix of brioche and challah). If you have no old bread on hand, dry the slices in a 250 degree oven for about ten minutes.
tablespoon butter for greasing your skillet or griddle. (Please do not use oil -- who wants French Toast that tastes like oil?)
Maple-Whiskey Butter
ounces unsalted butter at room temperature
teaspoon maple extract
teaspoon whiskey (I used Irish whiskey); if you are cooking for children, substitute vanilla extract
pinches sea salt
teaspoon brown sugar
tablespoon finely chopped, toasted pecans
Crunchy French Toast
- Make maple-whiskey butter. This can be made ahead of time and will keep for several days in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen.
- Put corn flakes in a Ziploc bag and securely close bag, pressing flat so that there are no air pockets in the bag. Place bag on counter, and with a meat mallet (or a heavy rolling pin) crush the corn flakes in the bag to create fine crumbs. Don't worry if crumbs are not uniform size. Pour onto a plate or into a pie pan. Set aside.
- In a flat dish (I use a Pyrex pie pan) big enough to accommodate several slices of bread, add eggs. Whisk in maple syrup, cinnamon, cardamom, and scraped vanilla bean. Slowly add milk and half and half to mixture, whisking briskly until milk is thoroughly incorporated and egg-milk mixture looks foamy.
- Heat your skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. I use a cast-iron griddle that fits over two electric burners. I can cook 6-8 pieces of French Toast at a time.
- Add four slices of bread to egg-milk mixture, turning them, so that all surfaces are coated. Let them soak for about 30 seconds. If your bread is very dry, let slices soak for a full minute. Pick up a slice of bread. It should feel wet but not thoroughly saturated. Add each slide of bread to plate of corn flakes. With your fingers, press bread down lightly into the corn flakes crumbs and turn bread from side to side until all surfaces are coated with corn flakes. Put corn flakes-encrusted slices of bread on a large plate or cookie sheet.
- When griddle or skillet is hot but not smoking, add butter. Brush butter as it melts, with a silicone pastry brush, over surface of hot grill. Add as many pieces of battered and crumbed bread as will comfortably fit into your pan or griddle. Cook slices of bread, undisturbed, for about 90 seconds to 2 minutes, then flip. Cooked side should be golden brown and look nice and crunchy. Turn heat down if crumbs on French Toast are looking blackened. Cook second side of bread for same amount of time, then remove to serving platter.
- Serve immediately with pats of maple-whiskey butter, fresh sliced strawberries or other berries (blueberries are nice) and, if you really want to gild the lily, warm maple syrup. Enjoy!
Maple-Whiskey Butter
- In small bowl, add butter, maple extract, whiskey, sea salt, and brown sugar. Mix with a large spoon until well combined. Add pecans and stir into butter.
- Take butter out of bowl and place on one end of a sheet of plastic wrap about 14 inches long. Fold sides of plastic wrap over butter, then wrap plastic wrap tightly around butter, forming butter into a log. Chill butter in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes, so that it firms up just slightly.

WATCH: Water runs over emergency spillway at tallest US dam for first time in history
It was the first time the emergency spillway has been used in the reservoir's nearly 50-year history
It was the first time the emergency spillway has been used in the reservoir's nearly 50-year history
It was the first time the emergency spillway has been used in the reservoir's nearly 50-year history
Water has begun to flow over a California emergency spillway Saturday morning as Lake Oroville has reached full capacity and water outflows by way of the damaged spillway have decreased.
This is the first time the Oroville Dam emergency spillway has been used in the dam's 48-year history. Flows over this secondary chute will likely range between 6,000 and 12,000 cfs, the California Department of Water Resources said.
Although inflows decreased Friday and into Saturday morning to 83,600 cubic feet per second, of 10 a.m., water officials have also decreased outflows from the damaged spillway to 55,000 cfs, according to DWR.
Water officials went back and forth since discovering the erosion hole Tuesday morning on the normal spillway as to whether the lake would reach levels that would allow the emergency spillway to be used.
At noon Friday, DWR officials believed it was less likely that the emergency spillway would be used, based on the amount of water that was being let out in comparison to how much was coming in. But by Friday night, they anticipated it would again need to be used as officials cut back the outflows through the damaged spillway.
Crews began working Wednesday to clear out trees and vegetation below the uncontrolled spillway to reduce the amount of debris that flows into the Feather River.
There are no flood concerns or concerns for the structural integrity of the Oroville Dam.
The total flow of water from the reservoir between both the spillways is expected to be much less -- 65,000 cfs -- than what the river can handle over the next 24 to 48 hours and is consistent with releases made at this time of year, the DWR said.
"While DWR does not expect flows to exceed downstream channel carrying capacity,
the rate of flow into the ungated emergency spillway may change quickly," the department said in a released statement Saturday morning.

London: Arsenal gave their Champions League qualification hopes a boost with a comfortable win over relegation-threatened Reading.
New Royals boss Nigel Adkins saw his side totally outplayed throughout, with goals from Gervinho, Santi Cazorla, Olivier Giroud and Mikel Arteta ensuring all three points for the home side, although there was some cheer for the Berkshire side when Hal Robson-Kanu headed home a second-half consolation.
Arsene Wenger made four changes to the side that defeated Swansea City last time out, with Bacary Sagna, Aaron Ramsey, Gervinho and Tomas Rosicky included in the starting XI, while Reading boss Adkins brought Danny Guthrie into a five-man midfield and handed Pavel Pogrebnyak a start in a lone striking role.
The home side started the game brightly and it came of little surprise when they opened the scoring after just 10 minutes when Gervinho tapped home from close range.
The Ivorian started the move by driving towards the penalty area from a right-wing position before the ball eventually found its way to Santi Cazorla on the left and his driven cross was stroked home from the edge of the six-yard box by the unmarked Ivorian.
The home side should have been given the chance to double their lead from the penalty spot eight minutes later when Royals keeper Stuart Taylor clattered into Giroud, however, referee Chris Foy was unmoved, much to the bemusement of the majority of the Emirates Stadium crowd.
These two sides had scored a combined 19 goals in their two previous meetings this season, and a high-scoring affair looked likely once again as the Gunners piled the pressure on their visitors, but despite creating numerous chances throughout the first half, they were unable to extend their single goal advantage.
Just two minutes into the second half, however, Arsenal did finally manage to double their lead as Cazorla neatly stroked home from the edge of the penalty area.
Gervinho was involved once again, with the former Lille man taking on several defenders just inside the box before looking up and picking out the unmarked Spaniard who calmly curled an effort just inside Taylor's left-hand post.
It took until midway through the second half for Arsenal to finally kill off Adkins' men when Giroud slotted home after more impressive approach play from Gervinho.
Just a minute later, however, and Reading must have sensed that another of their fabled comebacks was on the cards when Hal Robson-Kanu bravely threw himself at a Jobi McAnuff cross to head home at the far post.
However, any prospect of a tense finish was ended when the Gunners were awarded a penalty 10 minutes from time after Adrian Mariappa fouled substitute Oxlade-Chamberlain, with Mikel Arteta stepping up to hammer the penalty into the corner of the net and seal the routine victory.

According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), your physical therapy marketing efforts "will be most effective if they are highly targeted—from age and gender to income bracket and the type(s) of publications your potential patients read." Before you begin marketing your services to increase your patient volume, take a look at the type of experience you're currently providing, because your existing patients actually have a lot of influence over your marketing success or failure. Learn what they expect from therapy, what they hope to achieve, and what they're afraid of about the process. Before you can successfully transfer your advertising efforts away from the paper-bound, non-revenue generating Yellow pages and into the more effective online methods, you'll need to know how to use keywords and your NAP.

SEM success demands flexibility and constant optimization in accordance with updates to Google's algorithms, changes in consumer preferences and habits, and changes in your own service offerings over time.

The vast majority of online adults turn to the internet for research, whether it be an upcoming purchase that they are considering or a medical condition that they are dealing with.

A lung scan is an imaging test to look at your lungs and help diagnose certain lung problems. A lung scan may also be used to see how well treatment is working.
A lung scan is a type of nuclear imaging test. This means that a tiny amount of a radioactive matter is used during the scan. The radioactive matter called tracer sends out gamma rays. These rays are picked up by the scanner to make a picture of your lungs.
A lung scan can be a ventilation scan or a perfusion scan. A ventilation scan looks at how air moves in and out of your lungs. In particular, it looks at how air moves through the bronchi and bronchioles within your lungs. A perfusion scan looks at how blood is flowing within your lungs.
In a perfusion scan, the radioactive tracer is absorbed evenly where blood flow is normal. Areas that are not getting blood do not absorb the tracer. In a ventilation scan, the tracer will fill the lungs unless you have an area where the air cannot move.
The areas of the lungs where the radioactive tracer collects in greater amounts are called "hot spots." The areas that do not absorb the tracer and appear less bright on the scan image are referred to as "cold spots."
Lung scans are most often used to diagnose and find blood clots or other small masses called emboli in the lungs. But your healthcare provider may also use the scan to help diagnose other lung conditions.
You may need a lung scan if you have symptoms of a blood clot in your lung. Symptoms include:
If your healthcare provider thinks you may have a blood clot, you will have a ventilation scan and a perfusion scan. They will be done one right after the other. If the ventilation scan is normal, but the perfusion scan is not, it is called a mismatch. A mismatch often means that you have a blood clot.
You may also need a lung scan if your healthcare provider thinks you may have:
You may also have a lung scan before lung surgery. This is done to see how blood is flowing in your lungs and to see how well they are working.
Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to recommend a lung scan.
The risk from the radioactive tracer is very low. The amount used in the test is very small. You may feel some slight discomfort when the tracer is injected. Allergic reactions to the tracer are rare, but they may happen.
Lying on the scanning table during the procedure may cause some discomfort or pain for certain people.
Tell your healthcare provider if you:
You may have other risks that are unique to you. Let your healthcare provider know about all your medical conditions.
Make a list of questions you have about the procedure. Be sure to discuss these questions and any concerns with your healthcare provider prior to the procedure. Consider bringing a family member or trusted friend to the medical appointment to help you remember your questions and concerns.
Certain things can make a lung scan less accurate. These include:
You may have a lung scan as an outpatient or as part of your stay in a hospital. The way the test is done may vary depending on your condition and your healthcare provider's practices.
You may have either a perfusion scan or a ventilation scan. Or you may have both scans. If you have both scans, one will be done right after the other.
Generally, a lung scan follows this process:
The lung scan is not painful. But you may have some discomfort or pain from lying still during the test. This may because of recent surgery or a joint injury. The technologist will use all possible comfort measures and do the scan as quickly as possible to minimize any discomfort or pain.
You may be watched for a short while after the test for any signs that mean you are allergic to the tracer.
You should move slowly when getting up from the scanner table to avoid any dizziness or lightheadedness.
You may be told to drink plenty of fluids and empty your bladder often for 1 to 2 days after the scan. This will help flush the radioactive tracer from your body.
The medical staff will check the IV site for any signs of redness or swelling. Tell your healthcare provider if you see any pain, redness, or swelling at the IV site after you go home. These may be signs of infection or another type of reaction.
You should not have any other nuclear medicine tests for the next 24 to 48 hours after your lung scan.
You may go back to your usual diet and activities as directed by your healthcare provider.
Your healthcare provider may give you other instructions, depending on your situation.
Before you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:
Stay Informed.

Food Allergies-More Well Known, Less Common
Food sensitivities are not the same as food allergies. A classic true food allergy only affects about 2% of the population. Food allergy reactions are usually easily identified. Symptoms often come on quickly and can range from a tingling in the mouth to hives, swelling, difficulty breathing and even death. Some common foods associated with true allergies include peanuts, eggs, milk, and shellfish. People who have food allergies are usually only allergic to one or two foods and just one molecule can lead to symptoms. Tests a doctor may use to make an official diagnosis include a skin prick test or a RAST blood test. These tests will not uncover food sensitivities as they occur through a different pathway in the body.
Food Sensitivities- A Problem for More
Many more people actually suffer from food sensitivities than food allergies. It is estimated that 15-20% of the population has developed sensitivities to common foods and food chemical additives (MSG, nitrates, sweeteners, and food colorings). It can be difficult to determine the foods you are sensitive to for the following reasons:
Reactions can take up to 3 days to appear. Would you attribute the migraine you have today with a food you ate a few days ago?
Reactions are often dose related, meaning if you eat a little you might not feel sick, but if you eat a lot youll experience more severe symptoms.
Reactive foods vary greatly from person to person. It could be apples, chicken, and cinnamon for one person and broccoli, bananas, and garlic for another.
Typically there are more than one or two reactive foods and food chemicals. Ten or more is quite common.
Many convenient foods today contain multiple food and food additive ingredients-making it difficult to figure which ingredient is to blame.
Every time reactive foods are consumed, the body releases painful, inflammatory chemicals that contribute to symptoms. Symptoms associated with food sensitivities can vary greatly and affect different body systems. Common digestive conditions and symptoms linked to food sensitivities include irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, heartburn, bloating, and cyclical vomiting. Migraines, joint and muscle pain, fibromyalgia, sinus congestion, fatigue, and brain fog are other common symptoms.
Identifying Reactive Foods- What Works and What Doesnt
Because we are not dealing with food allergies, a skin prick or RAST test will not uncover food sensitivities. These tests work if it is a true allergy involving whats called the IgE antibody and food sensitivities never involve this antibody.
Elisa IgG testing has become increasingly popular with some health professionals, but it has limited usefulness. Our gut produces IgG specific to foods naturally as a consequence of consumption, so just having it does not mean its causing you problems. In addition, this test detects a type of reaction accounting for only about 30% of food sensitivities and it cannot uncover food chemical reactions.
Before accurate testing was available, people relied on elimination diets to uncover their reactive foods. During a basic elimination diet you remove all the common foods from your diet. If you feel better, you likely suffer from food sensitivities. Then you add foods back into your diet one at a time, one day at a time and monitor how you react to each food. This actually works well when done correctly-which can be quite difficult to do. Multiple ingredient foods that are so common today pose a challenge as well as the time commitment required.
With over 90% accuracy, LEAP/MRT testing is the most accurate blood test available for food sensitivities. It can detect food chemical sensitivities in addition to basic foods and takes the guesswork out of elimination diets. You start the diet with foods you know are safe and build on that.
Once you determine the foods youre reactive to, you avoid them. The more closely you follow the diet, the better you will feel. By rotating your safe foods and not eating them every day, you can reduce the chances of developing new sensitivities. Eventually you may be able to tolerate some of your reactive foods again after a three to six month avoidance period.

Interview conducted Monday, November 14, 2011
Little Anthony and the Imperials were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009. The group (Anthony Gourdine, lead vocals; Clarence Collins, baritone and founder of the group; Ernest Wright, tenor, writer; and Sammy Stain, tenor) were inducted based on their string of hits over twelve years, at least one of which, Goin' Out of My Head, has become a 20th Century standard.
Little Anthony was first in a group called The Duponts, and was recruited by Clarence Collins to be the The Chesters (the original name of The Imperials). The Imperials first gained national attention during the summer of 1958, when Tears On My Pillow took over the airwaves. There wasn't much air-conditioning then, and you couldn't walk down a street in the Bronx, where I grew up, without hearing Anthony's plaintive voice coming off the radio and hi-fis in homes and businesses. The song was a hit throughout the nation, and they appeared on American Bandstand and The Ed Sullivan Show. It was obvious that these Brooklyn-born singers were a few cuts above all the other young singing groups that were one-hit wonders. In fact, Two People In The World, the B-side of Tears, was also a hit.
They soon were part of national touring packages and featured performers for the Alan Freed extravaganzas and Murray the K's Revues at the Brooklyn Paramount and Brooklyn Fox. In 1960 they had a million seller with a nonsensical dance tune called Shimmy Shimmy KoKo Bop, a song Anthony dislikes to this day, but happily sings. As the sixties came on, many young groups disappeared, but Anthony & the Imperials signed on with Teddy Randazzo and had a string of hits, including Hurt So Bad, On the Outside Looking In and the aforementioned Goin' Out of My Head.
Anthony and the Imperials went their separate ways in the early 70s, only to reunite in 1990 for an oldies show. They had so much fun that they've continued performing ever since. Four years ago Stain retired, and was replaced by Robert LeBlanc, a veteran back-up singer for folks such as Marvin Gaye and Aretha Franklin, among others.
The four appeared at The Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis last June, and asked for an opportunity to come back, which the owner was happy to oblige. Their show is professionally done. In addition to their hits, they performed a Philly-style new song called You'll Never Know, as well as Kiss, by Prince, Sting's I'll Be Watching You, and I Heard It Through the Grapevine. The songs and skits reveal the groups versatility, and it's obvious that these older gentlemen (Anthony is 70) have found a fountain of youth in performing. He can still hit the high notes, and with some power, though he may not hold them as long as he did 50 years ago. The harmonies (and occasional lead vocals) provided by the Imperials are spot-on.
When the opportunity to have an on-air phone interview with Anthony presented itself, Pete Lee, host of Bop Street on KFAI, asked that I do the interview while he handled the engineering. Pete provides a wonderful mix of older music on his show, with special love for vocal group harmony, and I was happy to participate. It was an easy interview. Obviously, with over 50 years of experience, Anthony has done many interviews and has much to say. I'd ask a question and then have to get out of the way. I've edited this slightly for clarity.
LE: Welcome to Minnesota. We're pleased to have you back. It was so much fun last time. You and the Imperials seem to have a lot of fun on stage.
AG: We do. We've been doin' it for 54 years. Almost 54. Collectively, Clarence, Ernest, and myself have over 150 years of experience
LE: When you started out, what was it that inspired you to be a singer?
AG: I was born to be a singer. That's a godly gift. I didn't wake up one day and say I'm going to sing, though people do that. In my case, my mother and my aunts tell me stories that as a little boy – 3 years old – I used to sing all the time. My mother was a gospel singer and my father was a jazz musician, who played alto and tenor sax. My brothers are all talented. And my great grandfather was known as a great singer and my other grandfather was a singer. So it was genes. Genetic.
LE: Okay. Were you performing before you got into high school?
AG: Absolutely. I was doing off-Broadway shows as a child. Legitimate theater.
LE: Wow!
AG: People don't know that. I'm going to write this book. We've got publishers to put it out. So it will be about who I really am. Not who you perceive that I am, but who I really am, and where I came from. Yes, I was in the theater as a young boy. Then I was in different singing groups. You know how kids are today, even the rap guys are like that, they find other guys that can rap and they run around and do that too. So it was no different. It was something that you did all the time. The good part about it was it kept me out of trouble. (chuckles)
LE: You and your buddies weren't getting into trouble?
AG: Somewhat. Just slightly. It could have been worse (laughs)
LE: Well sure. You grew up in the Fort Greene neighborhood in Brooklyn, wasn't it?
AG: Yeah, with all the different gangs and stuff, but the one thing that really would give you a pass everywhere you'd go was if you could sing. Nobody would bother you.
LE: I suppose it helped attract young women as well.
AG: Absolutely, especially in the summertime, when we loved to go to the parks, and sing on the benches at night. It was where all the kids were hanging out. You know, it's hot, summer; they're out of school so they stay out at the park late. And they'd look for different groups that may have been in the area to come and sing. It would be like a battle of the groups. You want to see which group gets the most applause, which the people liked the most.
LE: You were in The Chesters, and had a little bit of a hit on the East Coast on Apollo Records.
AG: Yeah, The Fires Burn No More. In fact, I have to tell the audience that the Chesters were really the Imperials. The record company (End Records) changed our name.
LE: That was with Richard Barrett
AG: Yeah. When we went with Richard Barrett in '58. They didn't change my name. As legend goes, Alan Freed, well the record promoters brought in the record Tears On My Pillow, and they played it for him, to get it played on the radio, and he said, "Who's that girl? Wow that's really great." And they said, "That's not a girl, that's a guy." Freed asked "What's his name." They told him Anthony Gourdine, so he started saying Little Anthony.
LE: I have to admit, that the very first time I heard Tears on My Pillow I was wondering the same thing. Your voice is so high and clear, and so full of heartache it's no wonder it became such a huge, huge hit for you.
AG: You know. Teddy Randazzo was really the highlight of my career. He wrote from his heart, from what he was experiencing in his relationships. He once told me "You're going to be my voice." He was really a well-known singer at that time. He used to be with a group called The Chuckles. They were very popular, like The Four Lads.
LE: How did you know Teddy?
AG: I met him in 1956. I was with a group called The Duponts, and they needed an opening act. It just so happened that the people promoting that show with Alan Freed were our managers. They got us on the show as an opening act and that's where I met Teddy. He was on the same show.
LE: Obviously at that time in New York City, if you wanted a hit, he was the guy to go to.
AG: He was the guy to go to in the United States of America. (laughs)
LE: That's true. He had shows that came out here to the Twin Cities too.
AG: He actually started in Cleveland, and he was known then as Moondog, but some cat sued him because he said his name was Moondog.
LE: Yeah, a street character who created classical music.
AG: Yeah, anyway Freed changed (his radio show) and changed it to The Big Beat
LE: You and the Imperials were one of the few groups that were able to transition between the vocal group harmony of the 50s – what's become known as doo-wop – and soul music of the 60s. How did you work that out?
AG: Let me correct something. I do it a lot, because I was there. Doo-wop. There was no such thing. Nobody knew what doo-wop was called. Doo-wop came from a disc jockey in New York in 1973. He was trying to describe whatever style it was. And really, he was basically talking about groups like The Elegants, The Duprees, groups like Dion and the Belmonts. They were singing a whole different style than the black groups were. We were singing R&B, street corner music.
LE: I recall thinking of it as rhythm and blues back in those days.
AG: Yeah, it really was rhythm and blues. We didn't know what a doo-wop was. But what happened, they broad stroked everything, with a broad brush. "We'll call it Doo-wop." Because that's the way they heard it. But really, you've got groups like The Flamingos, with I Only Have Eyes for You, that's doo-wop? The Moonglows with Most of All, and Sincerely. I don't think so.
LE: What I'm trying to figure out. How did you go from the rhythm and blues of the 50s to the rhythm and blues of the 60s, which was beginning to be called soul music?
AG: Each Imperial was very talented in and of himself. Clarence (Collins) played piano. He was an organizer, a group guy, knew harmonies, and has perfect pitch. Ernest (Wright) was singing with the Fresh Air Club, one of the biggest choirs in New York. So they had talent. I again, was working off-Broadway shows as a boy. So we didn't walk in like kids off the street and didn't know what we were doing. We knew exactly what we were doing.
LE: Okay.
AG: And we were always surrounded by great people. The great Otis Blackwell, who wrote a lot of Elvis Presley's hits – he was a neighbor. We used to go to his house and work on chords. Then we met other people in our lives that influenced us, plus, when we really got going as Little Anthony and the Imperials, we caught the tail end of the Chitlin' Circuit, which was the last of vaudeville. So on that show were people like Redd Foxx, Flamingos, Little Willie John, and all these greats. You know what I mean? And you learn from watching them. We really were going to school. I would stand in the wings and watch, and see how they did it, and what they did. They would give us advice, so we were way ahead of that gang that came out at that time.
Even the kids then knew we were just a bit different than them, you know? We were starting to sing four-part modern harmony in 1960 – the Hi-Los, the Four Freshmen, and stuff like that. In fact, Otis, of the Temptation, told me, "Man we heard you and had to go back into the shed." We really weren't the same as everybody else. Our music was different. Our intonation was different.
Here's one of the things I always say in an interview. We knew that we could not stay recording stars forever. We had to make a transition into becoming performing stars. Once we learned the art of show business, the art of entering and exiting, and all the things you need to know, plus the fact that I was acting, so I had a lot of experience in that area, it's a very natural thing to do what we do. I think people are sometimes startled. They think you're just the same like all other groups – doo doppa doo doppa doo – no. Man, I'm getting ready to sing a Michel Legrand tune. I'm working on that. If you've seen our show, you can't really define it. We don't know either. (laughs)
LE: What I do know is that you're having a good time on stage.
AG: Oh, we do.
LE: It's obvious that the three of you have been together for a long time, and you know each other very well, and enjoy each other's jokes even now. That's terrific.
AG: Yeah, it's all show business, and shtick. It's kind of been lost. I've been told my many artists today – we did the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the reunion thing at Madison Square Garden last year – one of the things they all said, was "you inspired us by how versatile you are."
LE: You mentioned playing Madison Square Garden. Most of the time you're playing larger halls, so this date is unusual. I know you play Feinstein's in New York and here at the Dakota so this is an unusual date.
AG: Yeah, we got into the Dakota when the owner, Lowell read a New York Times review and said he'd never seen reviews that good, especially from the guy that wrote it, so he was curious. Now, we're starting to get offers around the country, because to play a jazz club, usually its jazz singers or something close. So it's an honor. There's not that many places like the Dakota anymore. Only a few now, when there were so many of them. It's an honor. It's also a challenge because we're used to traveling with 13 pieces. We don't have the horns, we don't have that big stuff, and it puts you in a situation of let's see what you can do now.
LE: I'd like to find out more about your acting career, but that can wait until another time.
AG: Well, you know, it'll probably be in the book. I did lots of stuff. The only guy that ever found out about that was Eddie Levert of the O'Jays. He happened to be watching TV one day and saw the Jeffersons and I was on there. I was wearing a mustache, the whole bit, and you couldn't really tell. I talked with a much deeper voice, and my acting experience comes out. He said he made a bet, with Marvin Gaye or somebody who said (using a deep voice) "Oh man, that wasn't him." (laughs)
LE: It's been a pleasure to talk with you. We want to let you prepare for tonight's show.
AG: We had a lot of fun last time. Thanks a lot.

Illinois Center for Cellular Mechanics: Discovery through the Computational Microscope
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
Computational Microscope
All-atom molecular dynamics simulations have become increasingly popular as a tool
to investigate protein function and dynamics. However, researchers are usually
concerned about the short time scales covered by simulations, the apparent
impossibility to model large and integral biomolecular systems, and the actual
predictive power of the molecular dynamics methodology. Here we review simulations
of proteins with mainly mechanical functions (titin, fibrinogen, ankyrin, and
cadherin). The simulations were in the past both hotly disputed and considered key
successes. In this lecture I will review the past concerns, the state-of-the-art
that alleviates some of the prior concerns, and the unrefuted discoveries made
through the "computational microscope." The lecture is based on an invited review
paper with the same title: Eric H. Lee , Jen Hsin, Gemma Comellas, Marcos Sotomayor
and Klaus Schulten, Structure (invited)

From generation to generation, Emmanuel students often speak of the strong sense of community that emanates throughout campus. Over the last few years, efforts to further foster the types of meaningful interactions that develop intellectual potential have become a focal point at the College. Administrators and faculty point to national studies, which show that the more actively engaged students are with members of the faculty, the higher they achieve. This was a motivator for expanding Emmanuel's approach to connecting faculty and students in a more formalized way.
Emmanuel encourages faculty members to coordinate events that allow them to connect with students while using Boston as their extended classroom. Over the years this has resulted in events such as jazz concerts at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum with Associate Professor of Management and Economics Dr. Patricia Clarke, visiting the New England Aquarium with Assistant Professor of Chemistry Aren Gerdon, and viewing work at the South of Washington Street (SOWA) art walk in the South End with Special Instructor of Art Stephan Jacobs. Sharing these experiences is not about a grade, rather, they provide opportunities for faculty members to share with students something they are passionate about.
Additionally, Emmanuel offers learning communities, which further student engagement beyond the classroom. The College offers a science living-learning community, a residence hall-based program for first-year students, as well as a cohort-model approach to first-year student learning for psychology. Both offer students the chance to enhance their academic and social experience through additional academic-related experiences, such as attending faculty presentations on their latest scholarly work, receiving career preparation and counseling, and immersing themselves fully in the disciplines while surrounding themselves with peers who possess the same interests.
Traditions play a major role in the life of Emmanuel College men and women. Many of these traditions can be traced back to the very first years of the college's founding. Each year, an Emmanuel student experiences a new class tradition, marking yet another milestone in his or her career as a student.
Senior Cap and Gown Ceremony
Dating back to the first graduating class, the class of 1923, the Cap and Gown Ceremony has historically marked the beginning of the senior year. The Ceremony provides an opportunity for seniors to don their caps and gowns and recognizes their status as seniors at Emmanuel.
Junior Ring and Tassel Ceremony
The Junior Ring Ceremony is an important tradition for juniors at Emmanuel as they celebrate their status as upper-class students. Juniors participating in the ceremony select an alumnus or current senior to present them with their ring and/or tassel to support them in their continued success at Emmanuel.
Sophomore Pinning Ceremony
Every spring, sophomores mark their selection of a major field of study with a pinning ceremony. Faculty present students in their department with a traditional Emmanuel pin. Students must officially declare their major to participate.
President's Welcome for First-Year Students
All new students are welcomed into the Emmanuel community with an official greeting from the President, the presentation of a class banner and an official class photograph, beginning a week of exciting activities.

BRISTOL — When the water systems in most towns are experiencing a leak, identifying the problem area can be a simple matter of watching for where the excess water bubbles up to the surface.
But in Bristol, which sits atop a plateau of gravel and has a water system that dates back to 1905, things are rarely that simple.

A couple of years ago I read in a nursing magazine that a Hummer dealer had donated a Hummer kiddy car to a children's hospital, so the kids could ride into surgery in style. I was a bit sarcastic, I'll admit. I've never seen a hospital unit that had unused space to store large objects, or unused staff waiting around to charge up the battery and polish the fenders on the generous donation. I tried to fend off charges of moralism by declaring that I'm fine with candy cigarettes and near-beer and toy guns if it cheered up a sick child. Really. It's just that this gift was suspicious of product placement and might be more trouble than it was worth.
Boy, did I get flamed.
So let me say now, that I'm saving up for a gift to Hasbro Children's Hospital that they'll really love. I'm buying them a pony. It's a miniature, won't take much space, and just needs hay and water a few times a day. A little extra work, but a small price to pay for a smile on a child's face.
I've mellowed out. And I'm feeling bad about the possible loss of a national symbol. The symbol of the great American spirit that wears a yellow ribbon magnet on its bumper for the volunteer troops we send to fight far away. Yes, the Hummer. Don't confuse this with the thin-skinned Humvees that failed to protect so many of our soldiers from IED's. The Hummer never failed to make a statement in the Homeland when cruising to the mall or commuting to work.
Now the Hummer needs our help.
The hulking Hummer SUV brand looks to be headed for extinction.
General Motors Co. said Wednesday that it was unable to complete a deal to sell its Hummer line to Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Co., a Chinese industrial company.
Arnold, you have more money than God. Buy a few more Hummers today. Dick, how are you going to carry all the birds and other creatures you shoot without a Hummer? Come on, Teapartiers, here's your chance. A car that says, 'Bush Administration' every time you drive it. And it gets 15 miles to the gallon. And it's real expensive. What better way to defend our way of life? Anyway, the Rapture is coming, so put it on credit. Where's your faith?
I thought they would all come out when the foreign Chinese who are not American were trying to buy the Hummer brand. Nothing but silence. Will we see a great rally for Hummer now? It's a big car. Rush Limbaugh and Pat Buchanan can fit in the front seat. It can run right over a Prius. Will it now end up in the elephant graveyard?
Then there will be nothing left but used Hummers, losing value, finally to be passed along to the 16-year-old boy next door. Drive defensively.
