This important Oracle DB question has been around for a long time without a definitive answer. This post not only gives an objective overview of the pros and cons of using autoextend (on) ,but also provides some guidance on how to handle common issues related to the autoextend option.
Here are some definitions I am going to use:
- "Autoextend " is the primary disk space management mechanism when DBA does not do any monitoring on tablespace level, but rather forecasts and monitors the file system(s) or ASM disk group(s) that hold the database.
- "Autoextend " is a secondary disk space management mechanism when DBA monitors and forecasts tablespace usage and makes sure that there is free space in each tablespace to accommodate growth for some time. The DBA uses "autoextend on" only as a way to handle unexpected data growth.
Pros of autoextend on:
- Ability to accommodate unexpected data growth.
That is the major benefit of that feature. Some believe that rigorous forecasting and monitoring are enough for disk space management. I firmly believe that a DBA should monitor and forecast tablespace usage. I even presented a paper that explains, among many other things, how to forecast tablespace usage using OEM repository tables. Nevertheless, I am convinced that no monitoring or forecasting would be able handle an unexpected surge in activity (hence unexpected 🙂 ).
Resumable space allocation (RESUMABLE_TIMEOUT ) is another way to handle unexpected data growth.
- Easiness to manage
Autoextend as a primary disk space management mechanism can simplify somehow disk monitoring and forecasting of databases with large number of tablespaces but small number of ASM diskgroups /file systems.
In general, however, what autoextend does is just shift the burden of monitoring and forecasting from DB tablespace monitoring and forecasting (DBA) to file system/ASM monitoring and forecasting (SA/DBA). That's not that big of a benefit.
Cons of autoextend on:
/Wording slightly modified on 1/22/2013 – Thanks to J. Garry for the useful suggestion/
- As a result of an application or user error, a single tablespace can fill up the whole filesystem/ASM group, bringing all applications using that filesystem/ASM group to a halt.
This is a valid concern that can be addressed in most cases.
First, tablespaces that have higher chance of experiencing uncontrolled growth, such as TEMP, UNDO, "staging", etc, should not use autoextend on.
Second, DBA should limit (utilizing max file size parameter) how much a single tablespace can grow. A single tablesopace should not be allowed to use all available disk space. For instance, if there is 50G free in an ASM group, DBA should make sure that no single tablespace can grow more than 40G (leaving 10G safety buffer).
If a single table growth can affect more than one tablespace (DATA and INDEX, for instance), then the combined tablesopace growth should be less than the free disk space. If we have 50G free in an ASM group, DBA should allow DATA and INDEX tablespace to grow by only 20G each, so both can grow no more than 40G.
This is a workable solution only when autoextend is a secondary disk management mechanism. If autoextend is a primary disk management mechanism then the free space will change rather frequently (after each autoextend), so staying on top of those limitations can be very hard.
- The actual process of extending DB files, allowed by autoextend on, causes performance issues.
This could be a valid concern, particularly for OLTP system with end-users who expect response in sub-second time. Using autoextend as a secondary mechanism greatly reduces the chances of this happening. In that case, autoextend growth, with performance issues and all, it is much better than the alternative – outright failure.
Autoextend is an excellent DB option that can provide us with protection against unexpected data growth. Used properly, autoextend has minimal downside. In overwhelming majority of cases, autoextend should be used as a secondary disk space management mechanism.

Festivaldaysraces needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 74 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
Farmington Festival Days Half Marathon, 10k & 5k
I am the Race Director for the Farmington Festival Days Half Marathon, 10k & 5k. I am seeking a new logo design that will help give our race an identity.
In the past, the logos we have used have been based around the yearly theme for our Festival Days celebration. I want to move away from that and get a logo that captures the feel of Farmington and will be easily identifiable to other runners and can be used year after year.
Runners come in many shapes, sizes and ages. It is hard to please everyone with a logo or t-shirt design. I am hoping that your talents will be able to please as many people as possible. The logo should be eye-catching enough that a person will be able to look at the design and immediately recognize it as coming from our race.
Farmington, Utah has fewer than 15,000 residents and has a hometown charm to it (kind of like Mayberry in the Andy Griffith Show without the bumbling deputy).
We are known for our tree lined streets, being located at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains and home to Utah's only amusement park (Lagoon).
The city has a unique history with the use of rock in the design of the buildings because of all the rock that is located in the city and mountains surrounding it.
One of the things that is easily recognized from our annual celebration held in conjunction with this race, is the large white and orange parachute that is used as a sun shade over the main stage in the park.
- This logo does not need to incorporate runners or running per se.
- The logo should include the name of the race
- Please use no dates in the since we are looking to use this logo in the years to come.
- This logo will be used on our website, in advertising & registration materials and race t-shirts.
- Fonts should be easy to read
- The logos should be easy to reproduce (especially in the silk screening process).
- Please no stock images or clip art
- No more than 4 spot colors (3 color preferred)

Cabrera, Padres down D'backs
Phoenix, AZ – Everth Cabrera finished a triple shy of the cycle and drove in four runs to lead the San Diego Padres to a 10-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the second of a three-game set at Chase Field.
"He's locked in both offensively and defensively. He's playing loose and inspired," Padres manager Bud Black said of Cabrera.
Yonder Alosno drove in a pair of runs and Nick Hundley went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored for the Padres, who had dropped three straight entering the contest.
Andrew Cashner (4-2) surrendered four runs on nine hits while striking out five over six-plus innings to pick up the win.
Eric Chavez homered and drove in three runs and Paul Goldschmidt added an RBI for the D'backs, losers in three of their last four games.
Wade Miley (3-4) was tagged for seven runs on seven hits in just 3 2/3 innings to drop his third straight start. Miley is 1-4 with a 7.24 earned run average over his last five starts.
"Just get after it again and move on," Miley said of his struggles.
The Padres exploded for five runs with two outs in the fourth inning to take a 7-4 lead. Carlos Quentin opened the frame with a single then scored on Alonso's base hit to right field. After Hundley reached on a single to center, Cashner helped his own cause with an RBI base hit to right field. Chris Denorfia followed with an RBI double and Cabrera capped the inning with a two- run double to center.
San Diego added two more runs in the fifth. With the bases loaded, Hundley smacked a single to left field, scoring Quentin and Kyle Blanks.
Alonso was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the ninth to force home Cabrera to account for the final margin.
Chavez got the D'backs on the board with a two-run homer in the first inning.
The Padres evened the score in the third with Cabrera's two-run blast, but Arizona added a pair in the home half to take the lead back.
After back-to-back singles from Gerardo Parra and Didi Gregorius, Goldschmidt ripped a single to right field to bring Parra around. Chavez followed with a sacrifice fly to left to score Gregorius, but it would be the last time the D'backs would cross the plate the rest of the way.
Game Notes
Cabrera swiped his MLB-leading 19th stolen base and the 100th of his career ... San Diego went 7-for-16 with runners in scoring position ... The Padres have won 17 of their last 18 games ... Cashner has won his last three decisions ... The D'backs lost for just the eighth time this season when scoring four runs or more (16-8).

A beautiful blonde with perfect also beauty body and feline movements. Jodie has also left the porn a few years ago. Modern Australian porn stars today include Kiki Vidis, Gigi Allens, Kelly Surfer, Samm Rosee and Mishka Venter. John Lark won the lifetime achievement award in 2006 for his contribution to the industry as a producer of 20 films featuring Australian stars, including Alice Springs and Kelly Blue, in late 1980s.
In 2004, the organizers of the Awards were persuaded to be a partner of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to get 16,000 sex workers of Australia to declare their income. As part of the effort, ATO decided to sponsor the event. Australian Adult Industry Awards is an annual award given for outstanding Australian achievements in the adult industry since 2001.
The production and distribution of pornographic films are both activities that are lawful in many, but by no means all, countries so long as the pornography features performers aged above a certain age, usually eighteen years. Further restrictions are often placed on such material.

The Breakfast Briefing
As stocks have steadily marched higher throughout the last 17 months, a growing number of investors and strategists across Wall Street say the market is ripe for a decline.
But if history is any indication, this rally may be far from over.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index has gone 505 days without a correction, deemed a 10% drop from a recent high. Since 1962, the index has rallied for at least 500 days without a correction during five separate instances, according to data provided by stock-market research firm Birinyi Associates.
In all five rallies, stocks averaged another 9.2% gain over the next six months and a 13% increase over the ensuing one-year time frames.
During the bull market that began in 1990, the S&P 500 rallied 2553 days without a 10% drop, according to Birinyi. The bull market that started in 1984 rallied for 1127 days without a correction, and the bull market that kicked off in 2002 went 1673 days without a 10% decline.
"This market's rally without a 10% pullback is not out of the ordinary," Kevin Pleines, research analyst at Birinyi, told MarketBeat. He said there is little historical merit to the notion that the market is overdue for a sizable drop.
"Looking at the history of the market, there has been no consistent point or metric during bull markets that indicate that the market is due for a correction," Mr. Pleines said.
The S&P 500 finished on Friday at 1515.60. It is up 6.3% this year, after rallying 13% in 2012. That's why some argue the market should be poised for a pullback, even if it doesn't qualify as a so-called correction.
In a note to clients on Friday, Thomas Lee, chief equity strategist at J.P. Morgan, advocated some near-term caution. He said the S&P 500 would look more compelling if it fell to the 1400-to-1450 range.
Such a drop would be consistent with patterns that have played out since the market bottomed in March 2009. On average, rallies have lasted 55 days and risen 18% in between 5% pullbacks over the last four years, according to research firm Stone & McCarthy Research Associates.
Lately, the S&P 500 has risen 12% throughout the last 66 trading days since its most recent pullback that concluded in mid-November. There have only been four other instances throughout the last four years in which the market has rallied for a longer period of time without at least a 5% pullback, the research firm said.
"We think there could finally be a minor pullback at any time," said Mark Arbeter, chief technical strategist at S&P Capital IQ. "While we continue to think that the market will grind higher in the weeks to come, risk appears to be rising and the call from here may get a little trickier."
But on a longer-term time horizon, the rally may have more momentum behind it.
"We are still positive on stocks and believe the bull market will continue," said Birinyi's Mr. Pleines.

Stocks to Watch
Lowe's is expected to report fourth-quarter earnings of 23 cents a share, according to a consensus survey by FactSet. The price target for Lowe's stock was raised to $46 from $42 by analysts at Oppenheimer on Friday.
Autodesk is projected to post earnings of 49 cents a share in the fourth quarter. "We believe ADSK is making progress fixing its channel execution issues following two disappointing quarters. Although we believe a good quarter is widely anticipated, we think risk skews to the upside of expectations, possibly giving ADSK shares a boost following the report," Steve Koenig, an analyst at Wedbush, said in a note.
Hertz is forecast to post fourth-quarter earnings of 31 cents a share. Hertz bought Dollar Thrifty for $2.3 billion in November.

This band stole a page from Batman villain the Riddler's book when they designed their logo with a giant question mark.
Clayton drummer Homer Coffman's band stole a page from Batman villain the Riddler's book when they designed their group's logo with a giant question mark.
And truth be told, there's a good reason Coffman and his Results May Vary bandmates adopted Riddler's iconic symbol (the question mark) to define their sound; RMV's repertoire includes covers from 30-plus bands/groups (such as the Temptations, Bullet for My Valentine, Green Day and Drowning Pool) and 60-plus cover tunes.
"Our set list changes so much it's like 'results may vary' — you don't know what you're going to get," said Coffman, 28.
With 100-plus shows under their belt since the outfit assembled in 2011, the hard rock band has dominated each gig with a throng of covers — approximately 35 per show. The guys ended a stretch of performing for 32 consecutive weekends less than a month ago.
During the last six months, however, RMV has been working on building a strong catalog of original tunes. In fact, the band's debut EP (currently untitled) is slated to drop in late December or early January of 2013.
"It's fun to play covers and please people, but it's all about writing your own music," Coffman explained. "And we're extremely anxious."
Coffman said RMV won't abandon cover tunes, since many people enjoy hearing them.
They love to 'Stumble'
Two tunes set in stone for the EP is the punk-pop-sounding "Stumble" and the grunge-tinged "Settle the Score," said frontman Gary Kemp Jr., 26, of Magnolia.
Gary Jr., who penned both songs, explained that "Settle the Score" is a tale about a good-guy-turned-rogue who's never been appreciated for his kind acts, so he finally decides to "settle the score" against those who've taken advantage of him.
Then the catchy tune "Stumble" discusses "relationship problems," said Gary Jr., adding, "Every time I turn around, you're doing something to make me fall back or stumble."
RMV has performed "Stumble" live on a few occasions to great avail — although the success of the song has been an inside joke to the band.
"The crowd's singing it, but they don't even know the lyrics. It's funny," quipped Coffman, adding the song sounds familiar to listeners since it's reminiscent of a Green Day tune and "it blends right in with the rest of the set."
'We're taking baby steps'
While "Stumble" is one of the only originals the band has performed live, the group is really looking forward to forging more originals that generate excitement like the tune, said Gary Kemp Sr., manager of RMV and father of Gary Jr.
"We're taking baby steps and are trying to build a nice following," said Gary Sr., 58, of Magnolia. "We want to get to the point where we can get into clubs in Philly and Baltimore that only hire original bands. Outside of that, we want to take a step to be a regional band; we don't have aspirations be a national band."
Many of RMV's gigs have been in Dover (Bubba's Rock Shack! and the Green Stinger Sports Bar) and Sussex County (Sand Bar Tavern), while they've traveled as far as Baltimore for a show. In addition, the band has played a number of military-based benefit concerts in Kent and Sussex counties for organizations like the American Legion and the Chad Clifton Foundation.
Furthermore, RMV's next show will be at the American Legion Walter L. Fox Post 2 in Dover on Dec. 8 for Ash's Elves Christmas Party: a benefit concert intended to raise awareness against domestic violence. RMV will share the bill with Smyrna band 13:1 and Dover outfits Chainbreak and Trippin on Jack, as well as Laurel's Elwood.
'My Girl'
Staying true to their name, RMV's catalogue includes a "rocked up" version of the Temptation's "My Girl," said bassist Drew Pruszinski, of Smyrna.
During the tune, Gary Jr. does a similar jig as the Temptations when they performed the hit song.
"All I do is mimic what the Temptations used to do," Kemp Jr. modestly explained.
Pruszinski — a man with a Viking beard who Coffman says is nicknamed "Drewcifer" because "he kind of looks like the devil," yet once you get past his appearance he's a cuddly "teddy bear" — says Gary Jr.'s unabashed nature makes him a joy to watch when performing "My Girl."
"He's an excellent frontman," beamed Pruszinski, 37. "He has no shame in what he does."

Today I just received the decision of my paper from a journal. The paper was submitted last December and my paper is kind of long (about 40 pages), so I think it's reasonable to take such a long time to receive the decision. Unfortunately, the paper was rejected. And I only received a very short report from a single referee (normally this journal requires two referees) saying that the same result of Prof. B using almost exactly same technique was proved in another paper which was published in another journal, journal A. Therefore the referee decided to reject my paper. So I try to look at this paper from journal A. What was surprising to me is that I have submitted my paper to journal A before I submitted my paper to the present journal and was rejected by journal A. Journal A thinks that the result of Prof. B is good which deserved publication in the journal. However, my paper was rejected. When I look at the submission date of the paper of Prof. B to journal A, I find that I submitted my paper to journal A before Prof. B submitted his paper. What is more surprising to me is that I check the decision letter of my paper from journal A, it seems to me that they even didn't send my paper to the referee to read it, and the paper was rejected within 3 weeks.
Now it seems to me that it's very difficult to get my paper published. So here are questions: Have you ever experienced this? If yes, what did you do to get your paper published? Or did you just give up? Actually I just got my PhD few years ago, and I think maybe that's one of the reason my paper haven't been treated seriously when I submitted to journal A. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Waterproofing services
Hidden Underground Discharge
While most companies will simply discharge the excess water out though the side of your home onto a splash block, which is very unsightly, Tri-county Waterproofing will always (where possible) provide you with a hidden underground discharge. The water will be directed into a 4' solid PVC pipe buried underground, which will in turn carry the water 10' away from your home and into an underground "drywell". Ask your in-home inspector for more information on hidden discharges.
Battery Backup Systems
If you live in a area prone to power outages, you should consider a battery backup system. Sump pumps require electricity to work, so no matter how strong your pump is, it is useless in a power outage situation. Battery backups come in the form of a second battery powered pump installed in the same well as your main pump. The backup pumps are located higher than the main pump so they will only activate in the event of a main pump failure. We also offer Hydro Backup pumps. These pumps utilize the water pressure from your city water supply to power the pump, so no matter how long the power is out for, your sump pump will continue to keep your home dry!

The case of the haunted scrotum
A 45-year-old man was referred for investigation of an undescended right testis by computed tomography (CT). An ultrasound scan showed a normal testis and epididymis on the left side. The right testis was not visualized in the scrotal sac or in the right inguinal region. On CT scanning of the abdomen and pelvis, the right testis was not identified but the left side of the scrotum seemed to be occupied by a screaming ghostlike apparition (Figure 1). By chance, the distribution of normal anatomical structures within the left side of the scrotum had combined to produce this image. What of the undescended right testis? None was found. If you were a right testis, would you want to share the scrotum with that?

And I might add that "The Haunted Scrotum" would be a great name for a punk rock band.

reversible replacement of one mature cell type by another, sometimes less differentiated, cell type; develops from a reprogramming of stem cells that exist on most epithelia or of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells present in connective tissue; Normal process (such as uterus); uniform to each other and relatively organized; is REVERSIBLE
abnormal changes in the size, shape and organization of mature cells; no considered true adaptive process but is related to hyperplaia and is often called atypical hyperplasia; often encountered in epithelial tissue of the cervix and respiratory tract; can, but not always, turn to cancer; often reversible
Cellular Injury
most diseases begin with cell injury; occurs if the cell is unable to maintain homeostatis in face o finjurious stimulie; may be reverisble or irreversible (die)
Cellular Injury
lack of sufficient oxygen; the single most common cause of cellular injury; can result from reduced amount of oxygen in air, loss of hemoglobin or decreased efficacy of hemoglobin, decreased production of RBCs, diseases of repiratory or cardovascular systems, and poisoning of the oxidative enzymes w/in cell; can induce inflammation and inflamed lesions can become hypoxic; most common form is ischemia (reduced blood supply)
reduced blood supply; often caused by gradual narrowing of arteries (artiosclerosis) and complete blockage by blood clots (thrombosis); progressive hypoxia caused by gradual arterial obstruction is better tlerated than acute anoxia (total lack of oxygen)
Cellular Injury Induced by Ischemia - Reversible
1) obstruction or cessation of blood flow; 2) Ischemia, 3a) decrease mitochondrial oxygenation, 4a) severe vaculization of mitochondria (end); 4b) decrease ATP; 5a) decrease Na+ pump, 6) increase intracellular Na, xcellular K,intracellular Ca, 7) increase H2O, 8) increase acute cellular swelling, 5b) 5+6+7 is dilation of endoplasmic reticulum, 6) detatchment of ribosomes, 7) decrease protein synthesis, 8) lipid deposition, 5b) increase glycolysis, 6) decrease glycogen, 7) increase lactate, 8) decrease pH, 9a) nuclear chromatin clumping, 9b) increase swelling of lysosomes
Cellular Injury Induced by Ischemia - Irreversible
membrane damage, 2a) loss of phospholipids, alterations of cytoskeleton, activtation of inflammation (complement, cytokines, and leukocytes), increase free radicals, lipid breakdown; 3a) release of enzymes (CPK, LDH) (end), 3b) increase CA influx; 2b) increase swelling of lysosomes, 3) increased release of lysosomal enzymes (hydrolases), 4) cellular digestion (autodigestion)
Common Themes in Cell Injury and Cell Death
ATP deletion, Reactive Oxygen Species, Ca++ entry, Mitochondrial damage, Membrane damage, Protein misfolding/DNA damage - Table 3-2
Asphyxial Injuries
cuased by failure of cells to receive or use oxygen; deprivation of oxygen may be partial (hypoxia) or total (anoxia); grouped into 4 gneral categories; suffication, strangulation, chemical, and drowning
oxygen failing to reach the blood, can result from lack of O2 in environment (entrapment in enclosed space or filling enviro w/suffocating gas), or blockage of external airways (compression of chest, choking)
caused by compression and closure of blood vessels and air passages resulting from external pressure on neck; causes cerbral hypoxia or anoxia secondary to alteration or cessation of blood flow to and from brain; hanging (inverted V on neck), ligature (horizontal mark on neck), manual strangulation (hands on neck)
Chemical Asphyxiants
either prevent the delivery of oxygen to the tissues or block its utilization; doesn't allow hemaglobin to attach to oxygen or doesn't allow O2 to pass alveoli; Carbon Monoxide is the most common; Cyanide acts as an asphyxiant by combining w/ferric iron atom in cytochrome oxidase, blocking the intracellular use of oxygen, has same cherry fred appearance as a carbon monoxide intoxication; Hydrogen Sulfide (sewer gas) that may have brown-tinged blood in addition to nonspecific signs of asphyxiation
an alteration of oxygen delivery to tissues resulting from inhalation of fluid, usually water; major mechanism of injury is hypoxemia (low blood O2 levels); can have dry-lung drowning that causes laryngospasms instead of actual water
Cellular Accumulations
(infiltration); intracellular accoumulation of abnormal amounts of various substances and the resultant metabolic disturbances; results not only from sublethal, sustained injury by cells but also result from normal (but inefficient) cell function; Normal cellular substances ( excess water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates) or abnormal substance (endogenous - product of abnormalmetabolism or synthesis, exogenous - infectious agents or minerals)
Cellular Accumulations - Water
cellular swelling, most common degenerative change, is caused by shift of extracellular water into cells; usually occurs in spleen, liver, CNS; cisternae of ER become distended, rupture, and then unite to form large vacuoles that isolate water from cytoplasm (called vacuolation); results in oncosis (hydropic degeneration)
Cellular Accumulations - Lipids and Carbohydrates
abnormal intercellular accumulation of carbohydrates and lipids; priamarily found in spleen, liver, and CNS; can cause "fatty liver": as lipids fill cells, vacuolation pushes the nucleus and other organelles aside; liver's outward appearance is yellow and greasy; Alcohol abuse most common cause
Cellular Accumulations - Glycogen
seen in genetic disorders called 'glycogen storage disease' and in disorders of glucose and glycogen metabolism; results in excessive vacuolation of cytoplasm (like water); most common cuase is diabetes mellitus; when not storing glucose or glycogen correctly, breakdown in energy of cell
Cellular Accumulations - Protein
mutations in protien can slow protein folding so cell is filled with unfolded proteins, which might not be in the proper format to be used; also, metabolites (used to digest some proteins) are released from lysosomes can damage cellular organells and excessive amounts of protien in cytoplsm push against cellular organells, disrupting organelle function and intracellular communication; accumulates primarily in epithelial cells of renal confoluted tubule and antibody-forming plamsam cells (B-lymphocytes)
Hydropic Degeneration (any type of hypoxia)
very common w/any hypoxia, even as momentary as leg falling asleep; can be reversed; 1) injury, 2) ATP production decreases, 3) sodium and water move into cell, Potassium moves out of cell, 4) Osmotic pressure increases 5) more water moves into cell, 6) cisternae of endoplasmic reticulum distend, rupture, and form vacuoles, 7) extensive vacuolation, 8) hydropic degeneration
Celular Death
classified as necrosis and apoptosis; Necrosis characterized by rapid loss of plasma membrane structure, organelle swelling, mitochondrial dysfunction and lack of typical features of apoptosis; Apoptosis is known as regulated or programmed cell process characterized by the "dropping off' of cellular fragments called apoptotic bodies
the sum of cellular changes after local cell death and the process of cellular self-digestion, knon as autodigestion (autolysis); Damage to the plasma membrane and cell structures; 6 Major Types of Necrosis are Coagulative necrosis, Liquefactive Necrosis, Caseous Necrosis, Fat Necrosis and Gangrenous Necrosis
Coagulative Necrosis
occurs in KIDNEYS, HEART, and ADRENAL GLANDS commonly results from hypoxia caused by severe ischemia or hypoxia caused by chemical injury; Coagulation is cause by PROTEIN DENATURATION, which causes the protein albumin to change from gelatinous, transparent state to a firm, opaque state; bonds in protein break and they unfold
Liquefactive Necrosis
commonly results from ischemic injury to neurons and glial cells in BRAIN; dead brain tissue is readily affected because brain cells are rich in digestive HYDROLITIC ENZYMES and lipids and the brain contains little connective tissue; Cells are digested by their own HYDROLASES so the tissue becomes soft, liquefies and segregates from healthy dtissue, forming cytsts; Can be caused by BACTERIAL INFECTION, especially Staphylococci, Streptococci, and Escherichia coli.
Caseous Necrosis
occurs in LUNGS; usually results from TB PULMONARY INFECTION, especially by Myobacterium tuberculosis; Combination of COAGULATIVE AND LIQUEFACTIVE necroses; The dead cells disintegrate, bt debris is not completely digested by hydrolases; Tissues resemble clumped cheese in that they are soft and granular; A granulomatous inflammatory wall encloses areas of caseous necrosis; Tb starts to kill lung tissue (liquefactive) and macrophages come in and stop it and coagulate the tissue - why you see tubricles in lungs
Fat Necrosis
is cellular dissolution caused by power enzymes, called LIPASES, that occur in BREAST, PANCREAS, and, other ABDOMINAL ORGANS; Lipases break down triglycerides, releaseing free fatty acids that then combine with calcium, magnesium and sodium ions, creating SOAPS (saponification); Necrotic tissue appears opaque and chalk-white.
Gangrenous Necrosis
refers to death of tissue from SEVERE HYPOXIC INJURY, commonly occuring beause of arteriosclerosis, or blockage of major arteries, particularly those in LOWER EXTREMITIES; With hypoxia and subsequent bacterial invasion the sittues uncergo necrosis; can be DRY, WET, or GAS
Dry Gangrene
usually result of COAGULATIVE necrosis; SKIN becomes very dry and shrinks resulting in wrinkles, and its color changes to dark brown or black;
Wet Gangrene
developes when NEUTROPHILS invade the site, causing LIQUEFACTIVE necrosis; usually occurs in INTERNAL ORGANS, causing site to beome cold, swollen and black; foul odor is present, and if systemic symptoms become severe, death can ensue; Thrombisis/embolism (blockage of blood), strangulated hernia (no adequate O2 or blood), valvulus (twist of intestine), intussusception (intestine falling into self)
Gas Gangrene
refers to a special type of gangrene cause by INFECTION of injured tissue by one of many species of Clostridium; these anaerobic bacteria produce HYDROLYTIC ENYMES and TOXINS that detroy connective tissue and cellular membranes and cause bubbles of gas to from in muscle cells; this can be fatal if enzymes lyse the membrane of RBCs, dstorying thier O2 carrying capasity; Death is caused by shock.
"dropping off" is an important distinct type of cell death taht differs from necrosis in several ways; is an active process of cellular self-destruction called programmed cell death and is implicated in both normal and pathologic tissue changes; Cells need to die; otherwise, endless proliferation would lead to gigantic bodies; occurs in 1) severe cell injury, 2) accumulation of misfoled proteins, 3) infections, 4) obstruction in tissue ducts; When cell injury exceeds repair mechanisms, the cell triggers apoptosis
Apoptosis vs Necrosis
Necrosis is caused by exogenous injury whereby cells are swollen and have nuclear changes in ruptured cell membrane; Apoptosis is single cell death. It is genetically programmed (suicide genes) and depends on energy. Apoptotic bodies contain part of nucleus and cytoplasmic organelles, which are ultimately engulfed by macrophages or adjacent cells; Cell membrane stays intact but has 'lubbing'; happenes throughout life and is very benificial component

Overwatch - Free Weekend!
In honor of their 1 year anniversary, the game is having a free weekend across all platforms from the 26th of May to the 29th. If you haven't had a chance to get into this Battleborn-killer TF2 with butts Counter-Strike except cartoony game, then now's your chance!
Here is a link for you.
I actually own Overwatch thanks to my cousin gifting it to me a few months ago. I never got past the tutorial missions but I really liked the graphics. Problem is there are so many people into it now and terribly good at it no newbies have a chance.
Except there will also be a shitload of other new people this weekend also playing. And while it's PvP, it's also co-op.
So stop being a Negative Nacho. :p

Second-year head coach Bill Taylor has announced the signing of five more women for the 2008-09 school year. This brings the total women signed for the upcoming season to seven.
"I was hired very late last summer and was an interim coach for the first three weeks." said Taylor, "I got a very late start on recruiting for 2008-09.
"My first focus was on our existing team, so I had limited time to really hit recruiting hard, and I am also just starting to learn about recruiting in the South. I am very happy to add seven women in such a short time. It is an indication of where this program is going and what the potential is here. These women are extremely nice and have a ton of potential."
The five new women are:
Catherine Beals (Barren County High School - Glasgow, Ky.): Catherine has "diamond in the rough" written all over her. She has a 5k PR of 20:31 and a 1600m time of 5:36 off of very low mileage and while spending a large portion of the year playing basketball. She was a leader on her teams and was a Wendy's High School Heisman nominee.
"Catherine has a terrific personality and is going to fit great here," Taylor said. "She has not been able to devote her full attention to distance running because she was a great basketball player for her high school.
"She is also one of the lower mileage recruits I've ever signed. I am pretty amazed at her times given her training background. With time, patience, running year round and increasing mileage Catherine has the opportunity to be incredible."
Rebekah Shoup (Dublin High School - Dublin, Ga.): Rebekah has a 5K PR of 20:23 despite only participating in Cross Country the past two years. This was also her first year of track.
"Rebekah has high character and is a perfect fit with our program," Taylor said. "She has very limited experience in running, yet has posted respectable marks. Like Catherine her mileage background is low. She has the opportunity here to grow and run really fast."
Louisa Van Batavia (Burns High School - Burns, Ore.): Louisa has posted a solid 5-k PR of 19:48, a 1500m PR of 5:21 and a 3000m PR of 11:26. She has also been a team captain for her cross country and track teams and was valedictorian of her high school.
"First of all, I love getting a fellow Northwesterner out here to Lipscomb!," said Taylor who is from the Seattle, Wash., area) I hope we attract more Northwesterners and West Coasters in the future.
"Louisa is super nice and will fit incredibly here. I am excited for her to get the `Nashville' experience and look forward to watching her develop as a distance runner."
Sequina Caro (Martin Luther King High School / Nashville School of the Arts - Nashville, Tenn.): Sequina has primarily been a sprinter both at MLK and in the club system. She has run 2:29 for 800m, but hadn't worked on that event since 2004. At Lipscomb she will focus on the 400m and 800m and will run her first ever season of Cross Country.
"Sequina is very nice and will fit great," Taylor said. "She was very willing to run cross country this year, even though she has never run more than 2 miles at a time. Our main goal is to develop her strength and base as we transition her to middle distance running."
Kristin Ratzlaff (Blue Valley West High School - Spring Hill, Kan.): Kristin has performed very well in the javelin with a personal best throw of 114 feet, despite only starting the event midway through last track season. She also has a discus PB of 95 feet and has thrown the shot 28 feet. Javelin is her strongest event and will be her primary focus at Lipscomb.
"Kristin is a terrific addition to our track program," Taylor said. `Her personal best javelin throw would already have placed at our Conference Championships.
"My goal is to build the full men's and women's track programs and Kristin is a great start towards that goal. Hopefully we will put a bunch of other throwers around her the next two years. She is a great fit with our program and I look forward to watching the javelin fly."
Lipscomb University is an NCAA Division I member of the Atlantic Sun Conference, located in Nashville, Tenn.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This quick and easy soup is simple to make and has the added advantage of being filling, while remaining figure friendly. It is thick and creamy, and because no dairy products are used in its preparation, the recipe may be of interest to those of you are interested in vegan soups. It has gorgeous color and the apples and maple syrup enhance the inherent sweetness of the potatoes, making it a soup that will have special appeal to most young children. The soup can be table ready in 30 minutes, but, whenever possible, I make this the day before I plan to serve it. It's a bit like an engagement. The flavors need time to court and the soup will be at its best if it sits for a day before it's ladled into bowls. This is a thick soup that you will probably want to thin before serving. I also like to add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the pot as it reheats. The vinegar helps balance the inherent sweetness of the soup. This recipe originally appeared in Family Circle magazine and according to their calculations the soup clocks in at 221 calories per serving. That makes it perfect for a soup and salad lunch. Here is how this unusual soup is made.
